THE CHRONICLE

Despite the football team’s genuine optimism for the 2003 season and its opening game against No. 18 Virginia, there are two facts that it cannot deny: Duke has the longest ACC losing streak in the league’s history and Cavalier fans feel their team is germinating into one of its greatest eras under third-year head coach A1 Groh.

But in comparing Virginia’s Continental Tire Bowl winning season to Duke’s 2-10 year, chance and clutch plays are bigger variables than strength and talent Last season Virginia won four games by five points or less, and defeated eighth place North Carolina by only 10 points despite starting Tar Heel quarterback

Darian Durant’s absence in the fourth quarter.

Duke, on the other, less desirable hand, lost five games by five points or less, including a 27-22 loss to the Cavaliers at WallaceWade last season.

‘We need to get in a close game sometime this year, early preferably, and win it,” Franks said about the 2003 season. “Getting in a close game and winning will give us a lot of confidence and probably will be worth a bunch more wins.”

Duke and Virginia’s similarities do not stop with last year. The Blue Devils and the Cava-

lier’s are first and second in the nation, respectively, in returning starters. The major distinction between the returning players of Virginia and the veterans at Duke, however, is that many of the Cavaliers are blossoming into sophomores, while a great deal ofBlue Devil contributors are now juniors and seniors.

Duke also has a bit of history on its side. Virginia has lost three consecutive openers, and has not won a home opener since 1996. And though the Cavaliers have won 16 of the last 20 against the Blue Devils, Duke has been relatively successful against the Wahoos in the Carl Franks era. Franks won only the second game ofhis head coaching career with a shocking 24SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 12

In an Aug. 4 letter to department chairs, Dean of the Faculty ofArts and Sciences William Chafe announced that only 20 faculty searches will take place this year, down considerably from the 31 or 32 that he said were originally planned.

The reduction is designed to take pressure off a strapped A&S budget, which faces a deficit for the foreseeable future. An average search costs about $lOO,OOO, meaning Chafe will be able to save over $1 million in 2003-2004 via this measure.

Chafe, who will be stepping down to return to teaching and research at the end of this year, said he hoped to stabilize the financial situation for his successor.

“It would be difficult to attract good candidates were the new dean to be saddled with a severe budget crisis, limiting a new administration’s freedom to develop its own agenda for improvement,” he wrote.

Chafe said the ultimate goal over the next few years will be to reduce the size of the faculty by about 20. While inconsistent with the dramatic faculty growth the University experienced over the last decade, the overall size would still be larger than when Chafe took office in 1995.A return to normal search numbers—3o to 40 searches per year—is projected for 2005-2006.

MacWilliam wears many hats by

THE CHRONICLE

Senior Devon MacWilliam had reasonable goals when she began her freshman year at Duke.

“I wanted to be happy. I wanted to be a student and a rower,” she said. “I didn’t expect anything like where I am right now.”

Although MacWilliam stepped down from the women’s varsity rowing team last week, she is still one of the busiest people on campus. As undergraduate representative to the Presidential Search Committee, co-chair of the firstyear advisory counselor board, president of the Panhellenic Council and a member of the Curriculum 2000 Review Committee, MacWilliam is a leading

at Duke.

One of the most important ways her voice is being heard is as the undergraduate representative to the Presidential Search Committee, a 15-member board entrusted with selecting the successor to President Nan Keohane.

Since the committee was formed, MacWilliam has spent time gathering students’ opinions on presidential criteria and relaying it to others involved in

undergraduate voice

the search.

“The committee took our words very seriously and were very considerate of what we had to say,” MacWilliam said. “Everyone who is a trustee either was at Duke or has children who are at Duke, and know that it is a place for undergraduate students, and want it to become an even better place for undergraduate students.”

The effects of the search committee’s efforts will not be felt for months. However, MacWilliam’s other efforts to improve undergraduate life have already had an impact on many students.

North Korea planning to test nukes by

Yuri Kageyama

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING

North Korea told a six-nadon conference that it has nuclear weapons and has plans to test one, a U.S. official said Thursday. However, other participants said delegates agreed on the need for a second round of talks.

The remarks by North Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Yong II set a negative tone at the conference and raised questions about the success of the negotiations, which were scheduled to conclude Friday morning.

Kim at one point accused delegates from Russia and Japan of lying at the instruction of the United States when

they tried to point out positive aspects of the American presentadon, said a U.S. official in Washington, speaking on condidon of anonymity.

Kim said the North intends to formally declare it has nuclear weapons, has the ability to deliver them and intends to conduct a test, the U.S. official said.

The North Korean official said his country was maintaining its position because the United States clearly had no intention of abandoning its hostile policy toward North Korea.

The statements, coming on the second day of a three-day conference, startled the delegates and left the Chinese representative visibly angry.

Nevertheless, the diplomats agreed on the need to hold more talks and probably will, a South Korean official said.

The current round of talks are scheduled to end Friday after three days. The United States, North and South Korea, Russia, Japan and China are trying to balance U.S. demands for an end to North Korea’s nuclear program and the communist nation’s insistence on a nonaggression treaty with Washington and humanitarian aid.

‘There is a consensus that the process of six-party talks should continue and is useful,” said Wie Sung-rak, director-general of the South Korean Foreign Ministry’s North American Affairs Bureau.

Report: 69,000 Peruvians killed, missing by

Juan Forero

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

LIMA, Peru A government-appointed truth commission said in a report issued Thursday that more than 69,000 people were killed or disappeared between 1980 and 2000, over twice earlier estimates of the death toll for the period of war and dictatorship.

The report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission concluded that Maoist rebels, chiefly the Shining Path, were responsible for more than half the deaths. But the commission also blamed three governments, two of them considered democratic, for widespread human rights abuses.

The commission said that three of every four people who

died or disappeared during the period were Quechua-speaking Indians, civilians who were caught between the military and guerrillas intent on toppling the government.

“Our report lets the whole country know the history of the thousands ofhuman rights violations committed in the last two decades, crimes against humanity practiced by subversive organizations against society and the Peruvian state or by the Peruvian state through members of the security forces,” said Salomon Lemer, the commission president, in a ceremony in which the report was presented to President Alejandro Toledo.

The commission’s report, the result of a two-year investigation, said that most victims died during the governments of Fernando Belaunde and Alan Garcia in the 1980s.

Forty years after Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the dream continues to elude the reality. America has made remarkable progress, for sure, but there is still a long way to go.

So was the mood in the air yesterday as about 30 people gathered in the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture to watch a recording ofKing’s speech.

Ben Reese, interim vice president for institutional equality, showed the film, which covered the entirety of King’s speech and included a brief section on the years before his death. A discussion followed the 20-minute film.

“There are smaller and smaller numbers of people who are involved with working to fulfill the dream,” Reese said.

“I hope it’s not because we don’t feel that either the dream is fulfilled or that we’re

The sounds of the 300,000-strong who marched on Washington Aug. 28, 1963, singing ‘We Shall Overcome Some Day” filled the room as Reese began the film.

Soon there was King, speaking before blacks and whites, men and women, adults and children, united in hope and resolve. The video—narrated by Peter Jennings—continued, highlighting the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala.; poet James Baldwin’s fiery reaction; King’s assassination and funeral; and Robert Kennedy’s speech on King.

Reactions from the audience—a true mix of races and nationalities—ranged from frustration to pain to optimism.

As a response to an increased incidence of HIV at universities in the Triangle, the state of North Carolina has extended its offer to cover HIV testing to Duke students.

At the May American College Health Association’s meeting, it was decided that “any insertive or receptive sexual contact” should warrant an STD test, said Dr. William Christmas, director of student health services.

The new test—previously not implemented by Duke Student Health Services due to expense—is more reliable and can determine if a patient is HlVpositive within three weeks of exposure to the virus, instead of the normal six to eight weeks.

Dr. Edward Wiesmeier, an expert who attended the conference, is not as supportive of this new program.

“While it is good for the curious person, it is certainly not essential to find out in three weeks instead of six to eight weeks, and it is more expensive,” said Wiesmeier, assistant vice chancellor of student development and health at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Springfield’s got one; should Duke be next? by

Karen Hauptman THE CHRONICLE

Everybody’s talking about the monorail Since plans for Central Campus renovations were released in January with the possibility of a monorail connecting East, West and Central campuses, the proposal has inspired comparisons to everything from The Simpsons to Walt Disney World. All joking aside, one question

remains: Is the University really serious?

“I’m still thinking monorail,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said. “I know everyone thinks I’m crazy, but I’m still thinking monorail.”

Although the University would not see a new transportation system for many years, a monorail is one of the options currently under consideration, said Scott Selig, associate vice president for capital assets. He said other options include fixed guideways, new generation buses, bike paths and segues, but added that officials will not make any decisions until the University’s master plan is finalized.

“We’re just in early draft form on the master plans.

Hopefully that will be completed within the year,” Selig said. “I would not expect to see a monorail or any type of new system within five years.”

University Architect John Pearce had an even more conservative estimate ofwhen Duke might see a monorail: “Atyour 25th [reunion],” he said. “It could be sooner, but

Friendliness is on the menu by

Katie Xiao

THE CHRONICLE

Pinned carefully on a small bulletin board outside the Marketplace, a plethora of comment cards—each responded to and signed by “Skip”—seems to address every student complaint imaginable, from terrible-tasting banana pudding to insufficient servings.

Yet, how many people actually know who “Skip” is or the names of those employees who serves them omelets and pizza?

While not everybody could point out the Marketplace general manager James “Skip” Herrod and food service workers Wallace Burrows and Anthony Walker, most students who walk through the East Campus dining facility have interacted with them in one way or another.

For Herrod, Walker and Burrows, the ability to establish rapport is highly valued because it generates superior customer service and improves the dining atmosphere.

Walker, for example, remembers former basketball star Mike Dunleavy visiting the Marketplace as a sophomore during basketball season one night. Dunleavy passed up a meal, instead asking simply to see him.

A dedicated University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill fan, Walker was unavailable because he had taken that night off to watch the Tar Heels battle on the hard court. Dunleavy kept coming back until he could confront Walker.

“When he finally found me, he rubbed in my face that Duke had beat Carolina, and asked if I had hid from him,” Walker recalled.

Whether engaging in “friendly competition in sports” or something else, Walker said he has never hesitated to strike up conversation with students and, unsurprisingly, has become very popular with them.

“It’s about meeting somebody new for me. These freshmen need a home away from home and a friendly face.

It’s also nice for them to have an adult friend. I’ve also always been loud, so I have no problem talking,” Walker said with a chuckle. “I always joke with students because it helps the students get ready for their classes, and it makes my day go by faster too.”

Burrows said he also enjoys interacting with students, though he does it by drawing rather than talking, since he’s not quite the conversationalist Walker is.

“I used to be real shy, but working here for such a long time has helped. I just treat people like how I like to be treated,” said Burrows. “It’s not always easy because I have to be here at six [a.m.] —I look for the coffee—but it’s a snowball effect when the students come in and are enthusiastic.”

Burrows has not only showed many students his artwork, but has also depicted at least 10 Duke basketball

players in his artwork and given them a complimentary large print.

‘They tell me its hanging in their apartments,” Burrows said. “Tell Dan Ewing that he still has to pick up his.”

Working at a facility in which freshmen, suddenly deprived of their home kitchen, have such high expectations is no easy undertaking because conflicts inevitably arise between students and staff. It might not be obvious at first how Burrows and Walker improve the dining experience, but Herrod said, “Because the students know them, they feel comfortable telling them that the food wasn’t that good.”

Herrod adds that Burrows and Walker are model employees who have received “Devil Bucks”—gift certificates awarded in the Marketplace’s “Caught You Doing SomeSEE FRIENDLY ON PAGE 9

been made since King’s speech, but that there is still room for improvement.

“In one sense, seeing this film really ages me, because I was in that crowd somewhere on a backpack one of my parents was wearing,” said Jonathan Gerstl, director of Jewish Life. “But it makes me think of the Hebrew concept of tikun olam—making the world a better place. It reminds me that we have lots of diverse components on campus, but we don’t interact.”

Adam Sarpong, visiting his sister Ayesha, a first-year medical student, said he’s grateful for what King, Jr. did, having come to the United States from west Africa at age 11.

“I’ve faced a lot of discrimination, but it’s more or less mental, not so much that someone will come up to me and say, ‘I hate you,”’ he said. “We still have a long way to go. There is a lot of ignorance in this country—we are quick to judge a person before they speak. We have to get to know each other as people.”

Curt Blackman, a coordinator for graduate recruitment and minority programs, said Americans need to replace the dichotomy of black and white with a unifying sense of “Americanness.”

“The very basic problem is that black Americans have not accepted their whiteness, and white Americans have not accepted their blackness,” Blackman said. “You realize that there is a certain quality, a certain ‘Americanness’ that a lot of Americans have not embraced. Until that partidon can come down, it will be hard to fulfill the dream.”

Doris Jordan, staffassistant at the Kenan Institute of Ethics, said she feels Duke needs more black leaders on campus.

“As a Duke employee, I’m finding that most black people are in front-line-type jobs,’’Jordan said. “It would make a huge difference to have more blacks in leadership positions.”

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AUGUST 28,1963 •

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning ofits creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."l have a dream that one day on thered hills of Georgia the sons offormer slaves and the sons of former slaveowners

will be able to sit down together at a table ofbrotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis offreedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state ofAlabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a'situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shallbe revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.

With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling

discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom

ring from the mighty mountains ofNew York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies ofColorado!Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

When we letfreedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will beable to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last!

HIV TESTING Traditionally, Duke sends the blood

samples to a private laboratory for screening, but they will now be sent to state facilities. If the first HIV test is negative,

North Carolina will also assume the responsibility of additional testing for several months to ensure the fact that the HIV did not manifest, since it may take up to three months for antibodies to develop.

Members of Duke student health services, however, were willing to offer HIV testing, but students rarely went for the necessary follow-up tests. This posed a problem, since students may have exposed the virus to others during the variable window.

In spite of the apparent neglect of some Duke students at risk for HIV, others have been overly cautious, officials said.

During the past year, there have been numerous complaints of Duke students being refused sexually transmitted disease tests. Administrative Coordinator of Student Health Ray Rodriguez, however, said students unnecessarily demand tests when they have not had any sexual contact.

“We were never negligent. We simply did risk assessment. If you didn’t have any sexual contact there is no way you could contract an STD and in those cases, tests were denied. But we never turned down a student who asked for an HIV test,” said

Rodriguez.

Sourav Sengupta, a member of Duke Educational Leaders in Sexual Health (DELISH), is pushing for modifications that will soon be implemented.

“It is always great when we can get a more reliable notification method that minimizes the waiting time of such an

emotional issue,” Sengupta said.

While more modern techniques will facilitate STD testing, it does not provide a solution to the spread of these diseases. The fact that HIV is on the rise in North Carolina has convinced the state and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to strongly recommend tests to be administered to anyone who feels at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Under Duke’s student health plan, tests for HIV, chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea are covered.

‘The new trend we are seeing is that students are now relying on tests to protect their sexual partners, but they are not protecting themselves,” Christmas said. “Most students report that they use condoms, but there are those who don’t.”

The health center is still bound by North Carolina regulations to report results of HIV tests face-to-face with the pa-

tient in a supportive environment and to offer counseling since it is an emotional experience. All tests will still remain confidential or anonymous, based on the patient’s decision.

Although there have, been no new reported incidences of HIV at Duke within the past four years, the numbers of infected students in the Raleigh-Durham area have increased. It is increasingly important to understand how and why it is spreading among college students in the area, officials noted. ‘"While Duke is only a small piece, this is the first time we have the ability to create models of an epidemic. By including Duke in the testing, the CDC and the state can monitor the behavior of HIV more completely,” said Rodriguez.

MACWILLIAM w

FACULTY SEARCHES from page 1

with this year’s orientation program, citing the quality of the Class of 2007 as a big reason for its success.

‘The Class of 2007 is so enthusiastic and so much fun and so ready to take on this University that it was cool to watch them,” MacWilliam said.

She added that she, along with co-chair Scott Reed, will focus on increased training for members of the FAC board throughout the year, possibly through a house course like the one currently used by Project Wild. She said that too much of the training for board members happened right before orientation, limiting the preparation both for the board and for sophomore FACs. Now that orientation is winding down, MacWilliam will have more time to lead the Panhellenic Council, the governing body for campus sororities. MacWilliam said her main goal is for the organization to become more responsive to campus issues and needs. She pointed to an upcoming professional development series with faculty and administration members that will offer graduating sorority members advice as they leave college.

Along with new programming, MacWilliam said that she wants to alter the image that freshman women have of both the Panhellenic Council and sorority life in general.

“We are working hard with the freshmen to show that sororities are more than just parties,” MacWilliam said.

“Because of our structures of secrecy and ritual, they aren’t allowed to see the sisterhood. They aren’t allowed to see the leadership and mentoring that goes on in sororities.”

In an effort to rectify this problem, MacWilliam said she hopes to make the council more visible on East Campus earlier in the year.

MacWilliam, a public policy major, with a minor in biology and religion, is currendy a part-time student; she is enrolled,in two classes, while audidng two others. She will graduate in December and stay in Durham both to serve out her commitments and to train the people who will succeed her in her many posts.

While many would find such a range of responsibilities overwhelming, Assistant Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi said he was confident about her ability to handle the load, based on his experience with her as the FAC board adviser.

“Her attitude just stands out,” Lombardi said. “She is a very positive person with radiant energy. She is dynamic and upbeat—qualities essential for leadership—and can bring a room up justby coming into it based on her energy.”

Many faculty members were disappointed with the prospect of a shrinking faculty, but said they understood that Chafe made a reasonable decision given the circumstances.

“I thought the letter was very effective and a lot of the faculty I talked to found Chafe’s letter very useful and effective in explaining why this was done,” said Michael Munger, chair of the political science department. “A lot of the faculty were upset, but they read his explanation and said, ‘Oh, I see.’”

The Arts and Sciences Council resolved last November against decreasing the size of the faculty, and departments generally seek to grow to boost graduate programs, research and reputadon. For some departments, the decision to reduce searches comes as a tough blow.

“In the history department we have 35 people and we’re competing with departments that have as many as 90,” said history professor John Richards. “We’re very much smaller so it’s harder to compete.... If you wish to build a viable graduate program, in many fields, you have to have enough people doing first-class research to

MONORAIL from page 4 in our planning for Central Campus, we’re trying to look as far as we can, and not eliminate any opportunities to make it the best possible community.”

Administrators are careful to note that there are no definite plans to build a monorail, as they do not have sufficient information to make that decision.

“Whatever we decide, I don’t want to line myself up as pro-monorail,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. “I don’t know where I stand on that versus any other system.”

If a monorail becomes part of the master plan, building it would be more complicated than just putting a track along Campus Drive. Planners must keep in mind such concerns as terrain, the environment and capacity when determining both routes and models.

“We probably know better where it won’t go: wherever it’s hilly or where there are environmental restrictions—wetlands, for example,” Pearce said. “We also have to contend with the fact that... the Durham Freeway exists.”

Pearce noted that the monorail at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., might be a reasonable prototype for Duke’s model, since the routes would be approximately the same length. Any Duke monorail, however, would out

people there.”

However, the most shorthanded department, economics, has a pre-existing agreement with the dean to supply more faculty members over the course of five years. Assuming Chafe acts in good faith, said economics professor Roy Weintraub, the department will eventually get its sorely needed faculty additions.

This year’s budget shortfall comes from a variety of causes, some of which were unanticipated. The increasing number of new buildings on campus is taking a significant toll on Arts and Sciences, which pays 60 percent of these buildings’ maintenance and operation costs.

Also, due to the faltering economy and a change in federal policy, Arts and Sciences was forced to bear an unexpectedly large burden of financial aid costs this year.

These grim financial realities, as explained by Chafe, made sense to a number of faculty members.

“It’s unfortunate to have to make that decision [to conduct fewer searches], but I know that there have been some unexpected factors that are throwing the budget way out of balance,” said Katherine Ewing, associate professor of cultural anthropology and chair of the Arts and Sciences Council. ‘You always have to make tradeoffs when you balance the budget.” attract

have to carry far more people at a time than the Disney one, he said.

Selig said monorail technology offers several of the same advantages as other new transportation options, as compared to the bus system that is currently in place. He noted that these include increased efficiency, friendliness to the environment and a look that is “a lot better than a huge sea of asphalt parking lots.”

While monorails are still a developing technology, systems are now in place in several major cities worldwide.

Jim Spakauskas, director of project development and sales for Bombardier Inc., which includes monorails in its product portfolio, said recent advances in monorail technology have made the systems safer and more reliable.

“A train shows up every two or three minutes, and also they’re fully automated systems, so you don’t have the labor that’s associated with driving the trains,” he said. He added that Bombardier’s monorails employ self-diagnostic technology, decreasing maintenance problems.

Unfortunately for monorail fans, it could be decades before Duke sees its own system —a reality that is not lost on students.

“It’s a good idea, but I don’t see why it’s worthwhile to talk about it with the classes that are here because it’s not going to affect us —unless the administration is using us as test subjects to see how future classes will react,” senior JeffDennler said.

Students said they appreciate Burrows and Walker’s friendliness and Herrod’s devotion to detail.

“Anthony?! He’s my boy,” said sophomore Jeff Faulrin. “After he talked to me, he even found out my name somehow.”

And although the year has just started, Herrod has already attempted to resolve student discontent. Responding to one comment that said, “I counted a total of 12 black beans in my bowl of soup.

How can you possibly call that black bean soup?” Herrod wrote, “I agree. I will look at the recipe and

Herrod, Walker and Burrows said they do not consider student interactions daunting, if approached the right way.

“First, we want to shout-out to everybody who has passed through and secondly, to say keep sending them, and we will keep feeding them!” the duo said together.

As for Herrod, he said its all about the wording. “It’s all in how you say it. If a student stole eight bananas from the Marketplace, you don’t say ‘Put that back!’ Just try to be positive, make a joke about it, and emphasize looking after the common good of everybody,” he said. “And it sure is nice when that same kid comes back after freshman year to say hello and see how you are doing.”

On behalfof Sigma Nu fraternity, we would like to offer our sincerest apologies for the events that occurred on April 14, 2003. Durham and Chapel Hill police found six Sigma Nu pledges near the Durham School for Children off ofold Erwin Road. The pledges were dropped off at that location and expected to find their way back to campus. Following the event, Sigma Nu was placed on full interim suspension while investigations by the Duke Police Department, University administrators and the Greek Judicial Board took place.

Following the investigations, we were given a Greek Judicial Board hearing. We offered a plea of responsibility for violations of the University’s hazing policy and unsafe/irresponsible behavior. At the end of last spring, our fraternity was given sanctions resulting from those violations. Sigma Nu will hold no events during the Fall 2003 semester. This includes all social events, philanthropic activities, intramural sports or any other campus event. The Sigma Nu name will not be used or associated with any on or off campus activities this semester. We will also implement within the 2003 to 2004 academic year phases I through IV of our national LEAD program, a leadership and values initiative run by Sigma Nu national headquarters.

Clearly, the event was in no way meant to harm any of the pledges, but extremely poor judgment was used in this instance. While the event was not an official pledging task, it was a tradition that was unfortunately never removed from Sigma Nu pledging. There was also widespread knowledge of the event within the brotherhood. For those reasons, our brotherhood felt the responsibility for this incident should fall on the fraternity.

We believe this event will be the catalyst to bring about the rapid and necessary changes to our pledge program in order to bring the fraternity completely in line with University and Sigma Nu national policies. It is unfortunate that this incident occurred in a year where so much change did in fact take place in our pledge program. It is often difficult to change years of long standing tradition over a short period of time. We felt our pledge program was moving in the right direction, but regrettably the changes did not occur quickly enough.

I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome the new first-year students to Duke. The fall semester is a great time to get familiar with Greek life at Duke. Traditionally, Sigma Nu events in the fall semester allow first year students to begin to get to know the personality and values of our fraternity.

While we will not hold any events this semester, we are still confident that our brothers will have a strong, positive presence on campus both in the academic and extracurricular arenas. The sanctions resulting from the incident in no way affect the Spring semester and our rush process.

Finally, while we felt the sanctions were harsh, we would like to offer the full support of our fraternity to the newly created Greek Judicial Board. We received a fair hearing and the Greek Judicial Board is a major step in the right direction for overseeing Greek life at Duke. The Office ofFraternity and Sorority Life has also been extremely helpful throughout this entire process.

At this point, our fraternity looks to move past this event and restore our positive presence on campus. We affirm our commitment to abide by these sanctions and remain a contributing group at Duke.

The event was an embarrassment to Sigma Nu as well as Duke University. We once again offer our deepest apologies.

Sincerely,

A

The men’s soccer team’s preseason consisted of a cakewalk victory over ECU and a squeaker past No. 10 Connecticut. Now the players start playing for keeps.

This weekend the Blue Devils host Liberty and Georgia Southern in the Wolfpack Classic hosted at Duke’s Koskinen Stadium.

“I don’t know much about either team,” head coach John Rennie said.

“I’m not sure how we’ll match up. Liberty is a giant killer. Both of these teams have some talent.”

The Liberty Flames have the 2002 Big South freshman of the year Darrell Roberts returning as their star player. The forward netted an astounding 17 goals last season for a team that finished 11-8-2 on the year.

for the seasoned Blue Devil squad.

With senior leader Cila sitting out the Jordan two preseason games, Duke was able to dismantle a tough Husky team on the road in Storrs, Ct. Cila is supposed to be ready to suit up this weekend for the opener.

“Jordan didn’t play in both preseason games,” Rennie said. “He’s been from an recovering injury. He’ll be ready this weekend.”

Cila’s injury allowed other players to get into the scoring mix. Nigi Adogwa beat the ECU keeper three times for a hat trick in the preseason opener. Since Liberty is a team that barely outshot its opponents last season, the midfield combination of sophomores Blake Camp and Danny Kramer should pose quite a problem for the Flames defense.

One yearning year and a smarting summer after not making the NCAA Tournament, the women’s soccer team is ready to rumble —and ready to mess with Texas.

The No. 24 Blue Devils officially open what could be their most promising season in years tonight when they host Campbell at 7 p.m. But the first marquee match-up of the Duke athletics season and one of the most high-profile of the fall for women’s soccer comes Sunday night, when the No. 4 Texas Longhorns huff into town.

“If we win this game, that could be a springboard into a really great season,” head coach Robbie Church said, “and, more than anything else, it will Just show us where we are.”

Duke got a sizable litmus test last season, when the Blue Devils also took on the Longhorns in their second game of the

But this year Duke brings back Riggs and a host of other talent, including junior score-aholic Casey McCluskey, who had three goals in two pre-season games and whose hard-charging style should cause trouble for the young Longhorn defense.

“We played very well in Austin last year,” Church said. “We just worked really hard, and [now] we’ve got to do the same thing.

We’ve got to make sure we go out there, and we’ve got to attack them. We can’t sit back and let them attack and react to what they do.

And we have to do that for a full 90 minutes. If not, then they are capable of punishing us.”

Alex Wade and Chris Douglas enter the 2003 season with a combined career rushing total of 3,278 yards. If the duo can breakthrough a solid but not impenetrable Virginia defensive front —which includes National Defensive Rookie of the Year Darryl Blackstock—they could keep the Blue Devil's close at the heels of theCavaliers.

Tight ends Calen Powell and Andy Roland ranked among the ACC's leading returning ends with 20 and 22 receptions last year, respectively, in addition to Reggie Love and the improved receiver corps. Still, Smith will need an outstanding game passing the ball, and ample time to survey the field.

The fact that people are saying "Duke football"and "bowl game" in the same sentence says a lotabout coach Carl Franks and this year's team. Still, arguably boasting its strongest team since 1994, Duke should make Saturday's match-up exciting—but not surprising. Duke may show off this season's guns and a few success stories, but probably not this weekend. Virginia's leadership in Schaub and the —Compiled by Paula Lehman team's ability to execute should carry them over the not-too embarrassed Blue Devils. Cavaliers rally and win at home, 34-25.

Virginia has also played much better against Duke in Durham than on David A. Harrison, 111 field. Its last four wins over the Blue Devils in Wallace Wade have been by an average of 17.3 points compared to 12.7 in Charlottesville.

Although team values are stressed at both

programs, Saturday’s game will feature several major stars. Virginia starting quarterback Matt Schaub was last season’s ACC player of the year, and is a Heisman candidate for 2003.

Schaub, however, is without wide receivers Billy McMullen and Michael McGrew. McMullen, who is the second most prolific receiver in ACC history, now plays for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles while McGrew, who expected to be McMullen’s replacement, is out

“We've got pretty good speed at wideout,” Groh said. “We just don't know if some of them can catch.”

Virginia’s vaunted recruiting freshman class of last year returns the ACC’s leading tight end receiver Heath Miller, versatile kick returner and running back Wali Lundy, intimidating left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson, and national freshman defensive playerof-the-year Darryl Blackstock.

Duke should have several stars as well, with the Chris Douglas-Alex Wade-Cedric Dargan

juggernaut expected to be the best three-some of runners in the ACC. In addition, Duke’s defensive line, which was statistically the best in the ACC in 2002, has no excuse not to do it again with All-American candidates Ryan Fowler and Matt Zielinski returning.

But all the Duke players are tired of the analysis and the comparisons to Virginia, and are ready to finally get on the field nearly nine months after their last game.

“All that really matters is what goes on on the field,” Senior Blue Devil wide receiver Reggie Love said.

defeated the Panthers on their home turf in the Pittsburgh Classic. Pitt finished last season with an impressive 20-9 record and returns all six starters, which will make Duke’s opening battle one of its more challenging contests of the season. But with returning stars along with new power freshmen, the Blue Devils should have a good chance at a victory. Laura Murphy, for example, is praised by Nagel as having, “the ability to set and hit, and has a killer jump serve.”

Expect a lull in the excitement, though, Saturday at 12:30, when the Blue Devils take on Marquette.

Marquette is a team that this Blue Devils team has never seen. The Golden Eagles finished last season 13-16, a bit shy of Duke’s 24-10 record. Marquette will need to take a chance and rely on its inexperienced newcomers if it wants to be successful in the tournament.

Duke and Texas A&M both received votes in the national preseason poll, which will make Saturday’s 7:30 match-up this weekend’s most challenging. The Aggies finished last season 21-10 and listed 31st in the preseason by USA Today.

But with the Blue Devils GooseMaverick duo of senior leaders Krista Dill and Katie Gilman, Duke’s top hitters, could carry the team through a very successful weekend.

Both Dill and Gilman earned AllACC second team and All-AVCA East Region honors last year. In addition, Gilman recorded a team-high of 347 kills. The Blue Devils’ ability to utilize their power kills will be the key to winning the tournament, and is a chance for their first national ranking since 1994.

Sunday’s matchup with Georgia Southern should favor the Blue Devils as well. Led by forward Tony Moffat, the Bulldogs are picked to finish 6th in the pre&ason poll for the Southern conference.

Both of this weekends scouting reports are fairly vague for Duke, but the real test lies in continuing to play as a team.

“We’re a very hard-working team,” Rennie said. ‘We’re strong physically and mentally right now. That counts for a lot. There are some young guys that have a chance to make this their team.

We had a lot of seniors last year.”

The Blue Devils should be able to strike early in both matches and test out different combinations on the field as well as rest injured players such as Cila.

Junior Joe Kelly will be a key member ofDuke's defensive unit,

SCHAUB from page 11 fought back to be the player of the year, and that’s pretty impressive.”

When Schaub got behind center again, he thrived in Virginia’s West Coast Offense. Schaub is ideally suited to Groh, who eschews the deep ball in favor of shorter routes. This manageable offense, combined with Schaub’s talents, led to his NCAA-second-best

68.9% completion percentage.

Just as Schaub doesn’t produce the big play very often, he gives up a big defensive play much less.

“He’s a guy who does not hold on to the ball and take a sack,” Franks said. “He finds a place to throw it. He doesn’t give up a negative yardage play very easily.”

Schaub has lost two of his biggest threats at receiver: Billy McMullen is now in the NFL, and Michael McGrew is out for the season with a leg injury. Schaub doubts that this will have much impact on his passes, but acknowledges that his strategy might be different this year.

W. SOCCER from page 11 of Kelly Wilson and Kelly McDonald. Wilson, last year’s Big 12 Player of the Year after racking up eight goals, is one of the top returning players in the country. And combined with McDonald, who notched a team-record 14 goals last season, Riggs and McCluskey might meet their match.

Church said he would tweak his system to the Longhorns’ formations and make in-game adjustments but mostly stressed having a sense of energy and urgency that wasn’t all there last

“I’m all for going deep,” Schaub told USA Today. “But whatever we have to do to win, that’s what we’ll do.”

Some critics in the press suggest that Schaub’s effectiveness came largely from McMullen and McGrew, and that Schaub’s Heisman hopes and media hype are simply pipe dreams. Franks

disagrees.

“I think a lot of the press has to do with his individual talent,” Franks noted. You get somebody who has a lot of individual talent surround those guys with really good players, you got a pretty good combination, then they can be even better. They can complement each other.”

Schaub’s numbers last season would have been impressive regardless of whom he was targeting. He was second in the ACC in touchdowns and completions, with 28 and 288, respectively. Not too shabby for a man who sat out the season’s second game.

But last year is last year, and Schaub will be seeing little to no bench time in 2003, as he pursues the Heisman and his team pursues their first ACC championship since 1990. He is very aware that this year is a whole new ballgame.

“We got another season to work on now,” he told USA Today. time around Scoring shouldn’t be much of a problem, as both teams already have 6-0 preseason wins behind them—though Duke’s Thora Helgadottir and Texas’ Alex Gagarin are experienced goalies and some of the best in their respective conferences at their position.

Still, an old Texas style shoot-out awaits a Duke team that, after an ACC Tournament loss to Clemson that shattered hopes of an NCAA berth, has nowhere to look but up.

“They’re supposed to be where we want to go,” Church said, “and that’s the top five and being able to play with the elite college teams in the nation. ,

The Chronicle

The Independent Daily at Duke University

WEL, get on it and off-campus point to the fact that a needs to be placed on creating viable onemphasis greater campus social options that are readily accessible to all students, affiliated and independent. The most successful such attempt thus far has been the transformation of the Armadillo Grill into a pseudo-bar. However, it is obvious that more social outlets are needed. Since the construction of the West-Edens Link last year, numerous student leaders have suggested that the fifth floor of the McClendon Tower in the WEL, currently used for sparse “student programming,” be transformed into some kind of social space akin to the Hideaway, which closed three years ago. Currently, the space is being wasted, and with it, an opportunity to make a positive impact on the social scene at Duke.

The declining on-campus social scene can be traced in large part to the inconsistency of the University’s policy in emphasizing the importance of non-exclusive, campus-oriented socializing, while at the same time, offering students very little in the way of tangible places and events at which to do so. Less than five years ago, the Hideaway served as a legitimate option for on-campus hanging out, and served alcohol. The void left by its departure has never been filled. The Armadillo Grill and its weekend bands are a welcome destination once in a while, but the Armadillo was never intended to be a large-scale student social space. It’s maximum capacity is quite low, and there is little to do if you are not 21.

After the opening of the WEL last year, Campus Council passed a resolution recommending that the administration use the fifth floor of the WEL to open a sports-oriented, Duke-themed sports bar. Student leaders correctly stressed that the McClendon Tower’s panoramic views and location in the center of the residential area, make it a perfect space to use for social activities. The second and third floors have since been outfitted with large-screen televisions and game-room equipment, however, the fifth floor is still largely unused. Although University officials have hinted that a new sports bar will be opened in the student village, making one in the WEL obsolete, the space should be used to foster social interaction in the interem.

The fifth floor of the WEL is the most under-utilized space on campus. While opening a large bar/eatery that serves alcohol may be unrealistic, the University should commit to investigating the best options for the space immediately, and listen to what the students recommend.

How you doin'?

Welcome

back all. And

to

the fresh-

men, welcome to Ms. Wlach’s neighborhood. There will be no shoe changing or cardigan wearing, but hopefully I

will be able to entertain....

istry and whether or not two people are drawn one another. A girl can be working her best game but if a guy isn’t attracted to her, she’s going back to her place...alone. If a guy that you want starts to hit on you, it doesn’t matter what kind of game he is kicking. He could be talking in one of those clicking dialects like Starvin’ Marvin and you wouldn’t know the difference. He and his friends will think it’s his game, but it may all come down to to

pheromones.

Jen Wlach It’s August, it’s hot and humid, and there’s one thing that seems to be on everyone’s minds: game. Girls are complaining that they have none. Guys are back on campus gloating about “sick raps” they have worked on all summer.

From phone calls with friends to overheard conversations at the gym, undergrads are teeming with ideas of game. At first, I thought it was just Duke kids, trying to analyze and understand the concept like the nerds we are. But last weekend while tending bar, my polar opposite—a Louisiana male wearing flannel, boots and a cowboy hat—asked me, “Does game really work?”

Though my customer expected a smart-ass response, I had nothing. I stood back, shocked that I couldn’t think of some off the cuff comment, and took on the puzzled look of a Trinity kid in an engineering lecture.

We talk about game as this universal notion.

It is premeditated flirtation so fine-tuned that it ensures you will go home with someone. It’s picking up your guy or girl of choice with discreet, near subliminal pick-up lines. Some have great game, and we consider them masters of the elusive concept. Others have weak game and strive, often fruitlessly, to improve. We’re quick to rate an individual’s game, but we don’t look at the larger picture. Yes, there are some cases where a guy or girl’s come-ons will be the sole cause for a hook-up. But in most cases, it’s the other circumstances that lead to romantic interaction. Reflecting on a host of hook-up stories from my peers, one’s game doesn’t guarantee an invite back to someone’s dorm room or apartment.

Other factors will, and do facilitate.

Physical attraction is fundamental. In “Bigger and Blacker,” Chris Rock says: “A woman knows if she’s gonna f-k you in the first five minutes of meeting you. Women know right away. They’re shaking hands like, T’m gonna f-k him. I hope he don’t say nothing too stupid!”’ There is something to be said for chem-

Then there is the time factor. If it’s been a while since the person you’re hitting on has hooked up, chances are the simple fact of opportunity will overshadow your game. Many a guy has worked sub-par game and gone home with a female thinking he is the man. Truth: He’s the only man. I’ve watched girls drop cheesy lines and still score, completely oblivious of the guy’s dry spell. But what you don’t kngw can’t hurt your ego.

Game comes out mostly in social situations.

Know what else does? Alcohol. And if there ever were a non-game factor to affect one’s chances this would be it. We’re all aware of beer goggles and the fact that after a few drinks or shots, or a combination of the two, people suddenly become attractive and aggressive. It’s at this point that game hits the bottom of the barrel, also known as pawing at one another on the dance floor to “Let’s Get It On.” Nearly everyone I know has a regrettable romantic experience from a mixer or formal thanks to overcomsumption. Sadly, game becomes null and void when the person you hook up with can’t remember what you said the next day.

Despite all the extenuating circumstances, there does exist true, good game. After much thought and discussion, my very wise roommate hit the nail on the head: Game isn’t a predetermined skit or planned conversation. It’s not a sure fire line like, “How you doin’?”

Game is being able to read people; to take each individual and flirt to his or her specific taste. If there’s anything guys should know about women it’s that we’re all different. What works on one lady could completely turn offanother.

So before you boys and girls start scheming, realize you are better off simply paying attention to those whom you desire. Then you’ll know what they need and get what you want. And that’s what I call a win-win situation.

Moving is so Hot Right Now It

was amateur hour last week on East and West campuses. Parents eager to dump their kids, while the youngins were rushing to bid their parents adieu for a year of higher learning and debauchery. All rushed to empty the car, while ignoring proper lifting techniques. Throughout the day, parents and students alike risked unnecessary injuries and soreness that could result in a visit to the chiropractor, or even worse, an orthopedic surgeon.

Kevin Ogorzalek

I cannot stress how important it is to lift with the legs. When carrying a large box over a long distance you may want to put it on your back with one hand below and the other on the side. Couches and futons should be held at an angle, so the back and bottom each rest in one hand. While holding an item in tandem, one person should walk backwards. Do not walk forward with your hands behind you while grasping an object behind you.

Please withhold the coundess “Thank you” e-mails for this brief tutorial. I don’t deserve them. I’m simply a part-time mover, almost an apprentice, with Hassett Air Express based in Elmhurst, 111. Though the company relegated itself to second-tier corporate status—as Ireland did with world standing —by choosing green, white and orange as their colors, it exposed me to a new world entirely foreign to Duke. There I learned to lift and converse with less than erudite men, while gaining a better understanding of the manual laborers’ work ethic.

Since sophomore year in high school, I’ve packed magazines, delivered packages, moved entire families and transferred corporations around the Chicagoland area and ultimately realized that manual labor stinks, but it builds character—the kind that many Duke students lack. Few activities inspire success in academically enabled fields offered by Duke than working at a job involving almost non-stop monotonous movement for 10 to 12 hours a day tediously lifting, pushing and walking. The tasks seem simple enough, but require skill and experience. Otherwise, you’re out of luck with a pulled muscle or broken bone and crappy health insurance that discourages a visit to the doctor.

Yet, beyond these downsides and risks, working for a moving company is really a fantastic experience. Most notably, I don't need to waste time in a weight room to acquire my Herculian size. Work also introduced me to more Hot Rod and computer magazines than I thought existed when I started shipping them. I never realized how many fertility books existed until I picked up a 24-gallon tub full ofthem while moving a lovely couple from St. Charles, Illinois.

This very same box taught me that because it fits, does not mean it should be packed: Books are heavy.

Proudly, I know more about semitrucks—those large vehicles that port freight across country —than most Duke students. Kenworth’s are some of the fastest on the road as a result of the large number of gears. Freightliners, while slower than Macks have superior transmissions.

Internationals are Freightliners with bad transmissions. Volvos are possibly the best, not simply because they are Swedish. As for Peterbilts, I’m clueless. There’s a

wealth of factual information provided by working with a moving and shipping company that PoliSci, Chem and Romance Language courses just cannot provide.

Moving from Duke to white-collar jobs, as most of us will, does not allow exposure to the type of people that mostly populate this country. Duke grads don’t often work with the average worker, who puts in a solid days work for a decent wage to support his family and his bar tab. Many attend Duke in order to govern and employ people we do not begin to understand. Wage earners

I’d like to think my days on moving trucks and in warehouses have extended my appreciadon of laborers, but I don’t know.

Spending days working with Vietnam veterans granted an appreciation of the underlying feelings still resting in the hearts ofmany survivors. When you’re lifting file cabinets with a guy who spells “buffet”—“bufa” and at 64 still works only for Hooters, spending money is a unique experience to say the "Many attend Duke in order to least.

Fight the Power

Of

all the chalk messages that appear from time to time on various objects around campus, the best among them is “Fight the Gynocracy,” as it is both true and beautiful.

Matthew Gillum Gynocracy, or gynecocracy, refers to the condition where society, or government, is dominated by women—for those of us whose knowledge of Greek roots is shaky, combining “gyno,” meaning woman (or, variously, a female reproductive organ) and “cracy,” meaning government. Presumably the author of the graffiti intended “gyno” to mean woman, in this case, because a society ruled by female reproductive organs would be nothing for a sane man to fight.

In any event, “cracy” comes from the Greek word for strength, while “gyno” derives from the word “gunai”, which I believe means yikes. But no matter how you want to define gynocracy, men know what it is, that it is building, and that they are feeling their virility dissolving. Males get the impression that they are losing the gender war; that their power is slipping, that their identities are in terrible limbo and that the center cannot hold. Somehow things just aren’t right anymore; we have lost our essence, our proper function and our potency—to women.

But the gynocracy men yearn to fight lies not in the province of politics, where we continue to enjoy our historical advantages, such as cigar-loving interns and myriad opportunities for mismanagement. According to the Economist, only 7 percent of parliament in Japan is female (a similar percentage of male sheep are exclusively homosexual), 11 percent in France and 14 percent of legislators in America. Even in Sweden, where equality is most nearly achieved, women occupy 43 percent of the seats. Men still run the show politically, though rather violently.

Yet socially the situation is gravely different. The New York Times reports that according to Harrison Pope, author of ‘The Adonis Complex: The Secret Crisis of Male Body Ob-

session,” the emergence of working women and single mothers dislodged men from their historical functions of fathering and breadwinning. Confused males, in response, started buffing their bodies to assert fading masculinity, replacing virtues with unwieldy slabs of flesh. Never before have men concerned themselves so obsessively with their physical selves. When asked by his daughter to come swimming, Thomas Edison replied, “I don’t believe in physical fitness.

The only function of the body is to hold up the brain.”

Attitudes of this sort are dead. For the first time in history, women are able to exert total control, in every possible sense, from reproduction to their economic situation. Men don’t really know what to do to attract women anymore, since women don’tneed them for anything other than amusement. The task of the modern man is to please, not provide. With previous avenues of living closed before him, he is left alive but without any real power, oftentimes sleeping on the couch in Mom and Dad’s basement; he is superfluous. In an interview in The New York Times, Rutgers anthropologist Lionel Tiger noted, “The decline of men has everything to do with them being alienated from the means of reproduction.” With the advent of birth control, which separated sex and procreation, women have a monopoly on the production of children, and thus the future, enjoying complete social dominance.

In confirming his “threatened masculinity” hypothesis, Pope and two other researchers looked at advertisements using male and female models in women’s magazines (Cosmopolitan and Glamour) to see how the percentage of semi-nude models of each sex varied over time, finding that the number of ads with disrobed women stayed the same, 20 percent, between 1950 and the ‘9os, while the number of ads containing pseudonaked men went from 5 percent in 1950 to 35 percent during the ‘9os. The dramatic increase of exposed male bodies in women’s magazines indicates how what women want from men is evolving, and the rates at which men have started to exercise proves that this shift in female preference has radically changed the way in which men live their lives and view themselves. This progression from substance to superficiality is inherendy connected to the growing power women exert in directing society (byway of reproductive control), and it is against this sensation of diminution men are presendy rebelling. At Duke, this tendency is readily apparent. Our crisis of masculinity chums with angry vigor. Weight rooms overflow

with eager participants who stay for hours at a time, neglecting their hobbies, friends and studies' Without the certainty of finding a mate by just being a good provider or caring father, college students are turning by the score to bodybuilding.

While these gentlemen are fine to look at, even for heterosexuals, they don’t do much to keep our great nation one step ahead of the communists, whose evils can only be defeated with great effort in math, science and marijuana cultivation. Besides, emphasizing the physical at the expense of the intellectual isn’t much of a long-term plan. Muscles lack earnings potential. Women know this; and demand them on those grounds; they have come to enjoy the taste of economic dominance. And we have lost our self-esteem.

There are many signs that the gynocracy’s grip will only tighten. According to an article in Newsweek, male participation in the workforce is dropping, falling from 80 percent to 75 percent between 1970 and 2000 while female participation is growing enormously. And now more women than men are pursuing higher education while the economy moves increasingly toward service, as prototypically “masculine” jobs in manufacturing head overseas in search of cheap labor. Service economies, at least in the stereotypical sense, are more favorable to women. As the Newsweek writer notes, ‘The rise of the service economy is shifting the emphasis in hiring, almost everywhere, from brawn to brains and charm.” If this trend continues, men are in grave peril.

So we now can see that the fears of the intellectual who chalked “Fight the Gynocracy” on the wall are justifiable.

Women have taken control where it counts most, in the department of having children. They are able to tighdy regulate the supply of our most valuable resource, the human mind. Since this situation is not likely to change spontaneously, and cannot be made to change ethically, men must think creatively. As a living organism, our mission is to reproduce and promote our offspring. Successful humans accomplish this task, while unsuccessful humans fail. Since it has become much more difficult to control the outcomes of the heterosexual reproductive process, we need to look at the alternatives, such as cloning, exuberant homosexuality and yeast-like budding to retain our dignity and purpose. But, at the very least, we need to find something better to do than lift weights.

THE CHRONICLE

For years, the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the league’s most frightening backfield. six-foot-one, 250-pound Mike Alstott and 5-foot-9, 180-pound Warrick Dunn were tabbed the ultimate,

unstoppable

one-two punch—anticipation

and cliche abounded. The dynamic duo played together for five years, but ended up less than dynamic; it wasn’t until last year, when the Bucs traded the oft-injured Dunn that the team really was unstoppable, and won the Super Bowl.

Well, any kind of bowl, super or not, has been hard to come by for the Duke football team of late, and they’re banking on an intact duo to bring back the days of yore. Alex Wade—6-foot-l, 250 pounds of mean, green, rain-fighting machine—and Chris Douglas—6-feet, 190 pounds of spitfire defensive annoyance —are poised to turn the anticipation into realization and the cliches into big numbers.

“I definitely think we have the possibility to have two 1,000-yard backs, and go to a bowl,” Douglas told The Charlotte Observer. “That’s realistic.”

What wasn’t so doable last year was getting Douglas and Wade on the field at the same time. In the season opener, Douglas suffered one of the most nagging of injuries: the high ankle sprain. With the speedster playing sporadicly throughout, Wade had his time to shine, er, thunder.

Indeed, as the rain and storms began to come down last Aug. 31 against East Carolina, it was as if Wade was wearing

Wade got a monster 24 carries, and sealed the game on a near eight-minute drive that left him with 109 yards for the game and a featured role for much of the season.

Before last sfeason, Douglas was coming off a sophomore year that saw him rack up 841 yards and was the chosen star for what was sure to be a lowly team. But coming into this season, Douglas says he’s “definitely feeling 100-percent,” and the Blue Devils now bring back not only most oflast

year’s promising team but also a backfield that looks at least as intimidating as the Bugs’ was supposed to be.

Indeed, Franks sees the logjam as an overloaded bright spot for a team with holes elsewhere.

“Chris is the outside speed guy and, Alex is more of an inside guy, even though he is pretty quick and fast for his size,” he said. “They complement each other very nicely.”

At times even after the ECU game last •year, Wade seemed to get better as the

nw.«4 s

game wore on and as his carries piled up.

And when he was playing with Douglas, his 100-yard games came when he got to 20 carries.

In Douglas’ healthy spurts, though, it was blatantly clear that the two could coexist. For the middle three weeks of the season, they switched off 100-yard games and combined for over 175 yards for games against Navy, Virginia and Wake Forest. It’s the type of streak Duke is looking forward to on a more regular basis now.

“Having Chris back and healthy makes our offense 10 times better,” Wade said.

“It makes me a better player because I know I don’t have to take 15 snaps in a row. We can trade in and out of the huddle and stay fresh while the defense is getting tired. It makes everyone on our offense better.”

Adding to the mix is redshirt sophomore Cedric Dargan, who falls somewhere in between Wade and Douglas in terms of speed and size. He returns after missing the final nine games of last season due to his own ankle injury. Franks said Dargan would see plenty of touches as one of the team’s future keys at tailback, along with one of Duke’s best freshman, Aaron Fryer, who’s redshirting now.

But when pressed to say who his main men were, the coach had to stick with Douglas and Wade.

“If we had to put those three in a line, yeah, [Dargan] would be No. 3,” Franks said. “We’ve got some good running backs.”

Defensive line looks to pace ACC by

Paul

Crowley

THE CHRONICLE

Some things don’t take a years’ worth of aging well Trendy fashions, gift certificates, and easily spoiled foods are all things that will almost certainly be less desirable in 12 months.

There are some things, however, like wine and baseball card collections, that get better with age. With nine returning starters, the football team’s defense is hoping that the latter rule applies; they are fielding almost the same defensive unit that played on last year’s 2-10 squad.

The similarity to last year’s team is both good news and bad news for head coach Carl Franks’ team. Last season’s Blue Devils were first in the ACC at stopping the run, mainly on the strength of a defensive line that punished opposing rushers at the line of scrimmage. But the defensive backfield proved a liability for Duke, and the Blue Devils were in the ACC cellar where pass defense was concerned. So the trick for Franks and defensive coordinator Ted Roof is in maintaining the quality of the defensive front while improving the play of the secondary, a task Franks thinks the team has been able to accomplish.

“I think I’ve said that the strength of our team has been our defensive line, our offensive line, our running backs and our linebackers,” Franks said. ‘That doesn’t mean everything else is weak.”

The play of the secondary will be a concern for Duke, and it falls squarely on the shoulders of two upperclassmen: Terrell Smith and Kenneth Stanford. Smith returns after a strong season, where he garnered 106 tackles and recovered four fumbles last year as a safety. Smith also picked off three passes last season, earning him a tie for most on the team. Stanford was Duke’s other leading interceptor, and also broke up 11 passes in 2002, his third year as one ofDuke’s starting cornerbacks. These two leaders of the secondary are optimistic about turning around Duke’s weakest unit in 2003.

“We feel like there are no excuses anymore: everyone is back and we’re a year older,” Stanford said. “It’s time to play.”

“I feel like we can compete with anybody,” Smith said.

The secondary will be also relying on returning starters Alex Green at safety and Brian Greene at Corner, and reserves Mark Thompson and C.J. Woodard.

If the secondary is a question mark for the 2003 season, the defensive line hopes to be an exclamation point.

We know what to expect based on last year,” Franks said of the defense. ‘We know we were first against the run, we know we were last against the pass.”

If the defensive line’s strength and reliability from last season is to be maintained for this one, they’ll need a great season from the player for whom strength and reliability are watchwords: Matt Zielenski. A former linebacker and

The senior truly distinguished himself on the line, logging 49 tackles and three sacks, and earning a spot on the honorable mention All-ACC team. Zielenski’s talent is not confined to the gridiron; his accomplishments in the weightroom look like something out of a comic book.

Zielenski benches 485 pounds and is capable of squatting 700.

“We have a lot more confidence and experience up front this year,” Zielenski said. ‘We expect to be one of the top defensive lines in the conference.”

Lining up with Zielenski will be junior Orrin Thompson at tackle and sophomores Bob Benion and Demetrius Warrick on the interior. “[Orrin] worked really worked hard last year, and you could see his improvement toward the end of the season,” Zielenski added. “He has advanced his play with more hand movement and the strength he has added.”

Micah Harris and a combination of ex-linebackers Phillip Alexander and Jim Scharrer. Regardless of who gets the starting nod, the defensive ends will feature speed and big-play capability. Harris’ 61 tackles and four sacks put him at fifth on the team in tackles.

Even though the line may be strong and the secondary weak, the defense must play as a unit in order for Duke to meet its potential. And unity is one area where a year’s maturation will definitely help the Blue Devils.

“I believe a year of experience everybody understanding our type of team is knowing where your help is in certain coverages,” Franks said. “I think a year of experience is just going to help us play better.” current

Pry is new off.-coordinator, but have things changed? by

Josh Silverstein

THE CHRONICLE

With 23 offensive lettermen returning, the biggest addition to Duke this off-season may have come on the sideline in the form of an offensive coordinator.

For the first time in his tenure at Duke, head coach Carl Franks will share the play calling duties. The incorporation of a coordinator into the offense should only help the Blue Devils.

But like most moves made by the Duke football program, the decision to promote former quarterbacks coach Jim Pry to coordinator has not gone without controversy.

Some members of the press have hinted that Pry’s move to coordinator meant a different and perhaps less significant role for head coach Carl Franks, implying that if Franks had not hired a coordinator for this season he would not have retained his job.

Franks would beg to differ.

“My role won’t change very much from what we’ve been doing,” he said. “My responsibility is to oversee everything. I’m responsible for the offense, I’m responsible for the defense and I’m responsible for the kicking game.”

Regardless of how similar or different Franks’ role will be from last season, there

is little question that the promotion of Pry to coordinator will benefit the offense. The fact that Pry will be calling at least a portion of the plays means that Franks will be able to spread more of his focus to other parts of the game than he was in the past. For the Blue Devils, an equal concentration on offense and defense should only mean greater success—at least in theory. “[Pry’s hiring] gives coach Franks an opportunity to focus on all parts of the game, not just the offense,” junior wide receiver Senterrio Landrum said.

The controversy surrounding Pry’s promotion did not just revolve around Franks’ job status. There were those who criticized the promotion itself, with the complaint being that Duke should have hired someone from outside the program. Those in favor of the move to promote Pry point out that he has more knowledge of the existing system than an outsider would. Those are the ones who feel that the current system is the best method for victory, which is what Franks believes.

‘Jim’s doing a lot of the same things now that he’s been doing in the past,” Franks said. “It wouldn’t have made very good sense to break up the continuity of whatwe’ve been doing. Our guys have a lot

JIM PRY looks on at a Blue Devil practice. The former quarterback's coach was named offensive coordinator. of confidence in our system and in what we’ve been doing and to disrupt that would not have been very prudent.”

Pry himself showed little concern with

the criticism that has been made when asked about it. He, like Franks, pointed to the advantage of his knowledge of the existing the system and the relationship that he has already established with the head coach.

“Coach Franks and I collaborate on a lot of things having to do with the offense,” Pry said. “We both know the system well.”

Pry also touched on some of the keys to the offensive success, pointing to the implementation of a two-back offense and a need to establish the passing game.

‘The opposition is going to be going after the running game,” he said. “With that in mind, we really need to make sure that our passing game is effective.”

Junior quarterback Adam Smith, who worked most closely with Pry in his previous capacity as quarterbacks coach, praised the new offensive coordinator for his enthusiasm. “[Pry] brings a lot of excitement and a lot of emotions just to everyday practices,” Smith said. “He’s a coach that is loud and let’s you know what’s going on. He’s definitely a guy with a lot of knowledge. He knows defenses well and should help the offensive game plan a little bit more.”

THE CHRONICLE

Despite having an experienced starter in Adam Smith who threw for over 2,000 yards last season, head coach Carl Franks plans to rotate other quarterbacks into the game when the team kicks off their 2003 campaign tomorrow. “[Smith] will be the starter on Saturday,” Franks said.

Tm going to try to get some other guys into the game. It depends on a lot of situations, but we need to get some depth at quarterback.”

Smith’s experience and the pressing need to win this season make Frank’s decision to leave the quarterback question in limbo and not stick more firmly behind Smith somewhat surprising.

Completing just five collegiate passes prior to the start of last season, Smith connected on 147 of 308 passing attempts and ranked fifth in the ACC in total yards.

“I feel like I am much more on the same page with the whole team,” Smith said. “I feel like there is much more cohesiveness with all the players and the offensive unit and that is probably the biggest change from last year.”

Besides a season’s worth of experience, Franks cited better conditioning, increased familiarity with the offense and stronger leadership as reasons why he expects Smith to be much improved this season. However, Franks did not venture to make any predictions on when he might send one ofhis other signal callers on to the field.

“Things change so much in a football game so you almost have to wait and see how the flow of the game goes and the dynamics of the game,” Franks said. “It is just hard to predict without knowing how the game is going to play out.”

The head coach also mentioned that he does not want to give Smith the impression that a mistake will result in getting pulled from the game—a move that could be detrimental to Smith’s confidence and thus hurt his play.

When Franks decides that it is time to go to his bench tomorrow it will likely be redshirt freshman Mike Schneider who takes Smith’s place under center. The 6foot-3 Pennsylvania native operated the scout team last fall and completed seven-of-15 passes for a team-high 100 years and an interception in the Spring game.

“He has a very strong arm, very mobile, able to throw the ball on the run, and he is probably at about the same spot Adam was last year,” Franks said.

Schneider, who sees himself as an all-around quarterback, is confident in his ability to perform if handed the ball tomorrow.

“I’m really excited about everything,” Schneider said.

“I know that when I get my opportunity I’m going to be ready, and I know that if my number is called I am going to step up to the plate.”

When the season opened last year, Chris Dapolito was in the mix for the starting position eventually won by Smith. Seeing action in all by three of the team’s 12 games last season, Dapolito completed an inefficient .388 percent ofhis passing attempts for 295 yards.

Dapolito, the most mobile of Duke’s three top quarterbacks, was disappointing in the spring game, completing only one of his seven passes. Despite the fact that he has likely slipped to third on the depth chart, he could see action as early as tomorrow even if Smith and Schneider are effective in the pocket.

If Franks goes to one ofhis other options, he will likely come back to Smith if the game is close in the fourth quarter. The primary reasons for such a decision are Smith’s experience and his comfort with his receivers.

“I think all of us in that huddle have a lot of trust and a goodrelationship with each other,” Smith said. ‘We have been playing together for a while now. I trust all those guys to do their job now like they trust me to do my job.”

Also, Smith recognizes that there were certain situations last season when a big play was not attempted even if the opportunity existed. With more experience and sharper decision making, Smith says he has the confidence to fire the ball down field.

Another part of Smith’s offseason regiment was a focus on mental conditioning. Smith spent considerable time watching film, looking at the defenses the team will face this season and considering which plays work best against the respective defensive alignments.

Most of all, Smith and his counterparts know that playing intelligent and inspired football will give the team its best shot at a successful season.

“I think we just need to focus on the task at hand, play smart and play with emotion at the same time,” Smith said.

CLEMSON

Head coach Chan Gailey made a surprising move this past week, electing to start 2003 with an unproven freshman quarterback as opposed to one of the conference's top gunslingers, senior AJ. Suggs.The rookie, Reggie Bell, is a do-it-all quarterback who highlighted a strong recruiting class for the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech lost some talent at the skill positions, but returns the bulk of a team that will compete in every contest.

The defense will be young and fast, as Gailey said they "will rely on speed and quickness, not bulk." Georgia Tech's Achilles heel, as such, is its pass defense, as only one starter returns in the secondary for a unit that was not exactly effective a year ago. In truth, the Yellow Jackets are probably a year away from a stellar year, and will most likely take a backseat to the upper echelon of the ACC before making a run at the title in 2004.

Georgia Tech got off to a slow start, dropping a contest to Brigham Young last night.

And it's very possible that the Yellow Jackets could continue to falter, with games against top-12 opponents in Auburn and Florida State in the next two weeks.

As such, Whitehurst will look to build on his freshman record-setting 2002 season, where he passed for 1,554yards and showed flashes of brilliance throughout the year—against the Cavaliers, the 6-foot-4 play-caller went a perfect seven-for-seven while driving the Tigers to a lategame score. His returning receivers combined for more than 1,300 yards and seven touchdowns, and will all be looking to up their productivity this fall.The crop, led by Derrick Hamilton, comprised a recruiting coup for Bowden in 2001.

Defensively, Clemson graduated its two best defensive lineman —the duo recorded half of the team's sacks a year ago—but six linemen do return, which should make running the ball on the Tigers a chore.The linebackers will be young, but are headed by John Leake, dubbed a "freak of nature" by one college football publication because of his size, speed and uncanny knack of tracking down ball-carriers. Leake led the Tigers with a whopping 169 tackles last season.

Biggest game: vs. Florida State on Nov. 8. If the Tigers are struggling when the FSU contest rolls around, a victory over the Seminoles could salvage their year.

Maryland returns six starters on offense and nine on defense from a team that won 11 games and dismantled Tennessee in the Peach Bowl a season ago. For the first time since head coach Ralph Friedgen arrived at Maryland, the Terrapins have a returning quarterback (Scott Mcßrien). Running back Bruce Perry is also back in College Park after his highly disappointing, injury-filled 2002 season. In 2001 Perry led the Terps to the ACC title and a BCS birth with his explosive running ability.

Maryland was surprisingly upset by Northern Illinois 2013 in overtime Thursday when its offense struggled, and the defense made costly mistakes and penalties in key moments. Not much can be assumed by the loss, however, as Notre Dame shellacked the Terrapins 22-0 last year in their season opener before Maryland turned its season around and tied a school record with 11 wins.

Biggest game; at Florida State on Sept. 6. If the Terrapins want to get back to a BCS bowl game and reclaim the ACC conference championship, they will have to make it through Tallahassee unscathed—and they'll to play better than this past week, as well

MARYLAND WAKE FOREST

CAROLINA The Tar Heels look to improve on the several records of team futility they broke last year.

North Carolina had its worst loss at home (59-7 to Maryland) and its worst loss to Wake Forest (31-0) in 51 years.The Tar Heels return 16 starters from their 3-9 2002 team, and quarterback Darian Durant will hopefully stay healthy throughout his junior year after missing four games with a thumb injury.The Tar Heels have an outside chance at leaving the cellar and becoming a mediocre ACC team, but are several years away from competing nationally.

Biggest game; vs. Duke on Nov. 22.The Tar Heels stole Duke's win in its bid to end the longest ACC losing streak in history when Dan Orner nailed a 47-yard field goal as time expired in Wallace Wade last year. After the win, many Duke players were noticeably upset at the sportsmanship of the Tar Heels after the thrilling game. Duke players vowed to use the experience as a motivating factor for this year's match-up in Chapel Hill. When it's Duke and North Carolina, anything can happen.

After a banner year in which the Demon Deacons defeated Oregon 38-17 in the Seattle Bowl, all likely indicators show that Wake Forest will fall from its perch, and fall hard. Head coach Jim Grobe has been lauded for turning around Wake's program, but in 2003 he will have his first Demon Deacon squad that lacks age and experience.

Wake only returns 10 starters, the least in the ACC, and must replace 16 letter positions. In short, things don't look good.

Biggest game: vs. Duke on Oct. IS.The Demon Deacons play their in-state rival, and if the Blue Devils have yet to end the longest losing streak in ACC history, expect the game to be a grudgematch.

Love and Landrum lead deep wide receiver core own. It is the senior’s last chance to breakout, and so far, all signs look good.

His performance last spring, including a Blue-White Scrimmage performance in which he hauled in seven balls for 128 yards and a touchdown, receiving more-thanfavorable reviews. He was named Most Improved Player on offense at the end of Spring drills.

"Reggie is a senior now and he's our most experienced guy," Duke assistant coach Aubrey Hill said. "He has been through all the two-a-days and the games and I think he comes into the season with a good perspective. Without a doubt, he is our best blocker and he has good athletic ability, size and hands. He’s made some plays for us in the past, and we look for good things from him this year.”

Landrum agreed.

“You can tell [Reggie] is one of the older guys,” he said. “He is one of the more experienced guys. He has really stepped his game up. You can not really tell on the field thats he has had an injury.”

In addition to Love, the three aforementioned junior wideouts plan on being attratctive targets for Smiths passes as well. It seems Johnson, Sharpe and Landrum all bring their indidviual strengths to the field.

“Everybody is different,” Love said. “Every guy is good at one thing that the other guys are not. Khary is one of the faster guys we got. [Senterrio] is really agile and nimble and quick, and Lance is bigger with great hands and myself, a really big target.”

Sharpe is Smith’s most likely game-breaker downfield target. He led Duke last year in catches and receiving yards with 30 and 458, respectively, and received the Big Play Award at the end of last spring.

Landrum possesses both good hands and good speed.

He will probably see action as a wideout, rusher and returner. The Sweet Water, Ala., native, who also plays baseball at Duke, returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown in the Blue-White game.

Rounding out the trio of juniors is Johnson, likely possessing the best hands out of the bunch, who might also return punts for coach Franks. In addition, four letter-

Surely, Duke quarterback Adam Smith must crack a smile when he takes the ball from center and turns to survey his options these days.

When he wants to hand the ball off, waiting in the backfield behind him stand Chris Douglas and Alex Wade, who together combined for almost 2,000 yards rushing last year and who both averaged a head-turning 4.9 yards per rush. Should the junior quarterback want some extra time in the pocket, he can look straight to an offensive line which returns all its five starters from last season.

And .if Smith wants to take his chances downfield?

Well, there are plenty of targets waiting for the ball out there 100.

Perhaps the most unproven of Duke’s offensive weapons—the receiving corps—could put together an impressive season if things go its way. Head coach Carl Franks and company are expecting a big year from the team’s wideouts, as all the starters from last year’s squad are back and have been complemented by some new players as well.

Leading the group is a senior, Reggie Love, who is coming off knee surgery, and a trio of Juniors—Lance Johnson, Khary Sharpe and Senterrio Landrum—whose efforts last season totalled 84 receptions, 1,014 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns for the Blue Devils.

After missing the final four weeks of last season with the leg injury, Love returns as the team’s No.l wideout.

Love, at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, is certainly Smith’s biggest target downfield. He and the people around him insist that he is indeed healthy.

“Personally, I felt as though I am physcially stronger and faster than [I was] last year,” Love said. “Hopefully, I will not only be able to start at where I left off but at a higher level.”

The Charlotte, N.C., native’s injury could not have come at a worse time for him last season. In the stretch of games preceding it, Love posted a career best six catches in a game versus Virginia and was starting to come into his

man and four other players will look to push for playing time. Sophomore Ronnie Elliot, the primary kick returner last season, should see the field and have a chance to push for a starting role.

The entire group figures to make practices and games a competition every week, a welcome battle for the coaches.

“Our depth has improved greatly over the past couple ofyears, and we’ll try to use that to our advantage,” Hill said. “Most importantly, depth breeds competition. The more players are fighting for playing time, the better they get as individuals, and that in turn helps the group be more dependable.”

With the traffic jam in the receiver depth chart, perhaps only one thing is clear: it does not really matter which players come out on top because quarterback Smith should be smiling when he looks to his wideouts either way.

Fowler's high school career parallels college by

win some games this season.”

The Blue Devils lost five games last season by five points or less and several of those games were lost on last second scores. With six returning linebackers and two freshman to add to the list, the Blue Devils secondary should be able to work as a group to contain the opposition’s offensive outbursts. Consequently, Fowler is confident in his defense to make crucial stops down the stretch and seal victories.

“The wins were just an inch or two away last season,” Fowler said. “We've got a strong foundation to build on and I think we are going to be a team to contend with this year.”

As a middle linebacker, Fowler has the best vantage point to see what the opposition is running in the backfield, and also if his teammates are out of position. After leading the team in tackles the past three seasons, Fowler’s main emphasis this year is making sure the rest of his defensive teammates are on the same page. If Fowler is able to lead his team in tackles again in 2003, he will be the only Blue Devil to ever lead Duke in tackles for all four seasons.

“This season I’m Just trying to be a leader,” Fowler said. “The tackles will come and go. I’m just trying to show the younger guys where to be on plays and help the defense.”

The Florida native has led the Blue Devils in tackles the past three seasons, an impressive feat even on a team to

THE CHRONICLE

Ryan Fowler’s first three years at Seminole High School in Redington Shores, Fla., have an eerily similar storyline to his last three years as a Blue Devil. Both of the teams results could be summed up in one word—futile.

In an attempt to salvage his senior season, Fowler helped his high school teammates turn it around with an 8-2 mark for the year and an appearance in the prestigious Florida state tournament. The linebacker’s thoughts about Duke’s upcoming season are very comparable.

“I said it when I came in that it was going to take some time but we’d make it to a bowl game,” Fowler said. “I still believe we are going to do that this year. Each year we’ve improved as a team.”

Perhaps his tenure at Duke has been slightly more unsuccessful than his first years in high school, but Fowler believes this Blue Devil team possesses the ability to make a run into the postseason. There is no doubt that the linebacker can hold his own on his side of the football field.

With nine defensive players returning, Duke has a core that has played together last season and worked out during the off season. The grueling heat did not stop Fowler or fellow linebackers GiuseppeAguanno and Brendan Dewan to pump some iron this summer and improve on speed and strength; two key elements in a linebacker’s game.

“We didn’t just work on endurance, but getting bigger and faster too,” Fowler said. ‘These'guys have really worked out a lot this summer. That’s what it’s going to take

while sharing time with fellow tight end Galen Powell.

During the off season the tight end group worked out together on improving routes and blocking skills for fellow teammates.

“Galen is a very dependable pass protector,” assistant coach Louis Clyburn said. “On the other hand, Andy’s strength is run-blocking.”

Roland’s 6-foot-4 frame and rock solid body allowed him to bulldoze opponents in the open field and rack up 344 total yards. When tailbacks Alex Wade or Chris Douglas grabbed the ball in the backfield, Roland took aim at the opposing secondary and helped his team move up the field.

THE CHRONICLE

The adage “a diamond in the rough” may perhaps be the best way to describe Andy Roland’s status on a Duke football team that has won just two games in the past three seasons.

Despite the squad’s sub-par performance, Roland’s work on the field last season helped him receive national accolades this summer. A committee gathered and chose the Blue Devil sophomore to a preseason list for the John Mackey Award, which is given to the country’s best tight end.

“I’m not trying to act any different, it’s just a preseason list,” Roland said. “I’ll just try and improve this season and see what happens.”

that has not been terribly successful. Last year, he tallied 145 tackles, which was good enough for sixth in Duke history.

Ideas of entering the NFL draft are always a possibility for Fowler, who was named as an Honorable Mention pick for the AllACC team last season.

“I’m confident in Ryan’s ability to

ROLAND from page 9 stronger and faster,” Roland said. “We need to be ready late in the game.”

Along with Powell to challenge Roland for playing time, redshirt freshman Ben Patrick is now in the rotation. With three tight ends vying for playing time, Duke’s offense can only benefit while having the luxury of putting in fresh players at the crucial position.

Roland’s humble approach after being named as a contender for the Mackey award will undoubtedly help him succeed again in only his second season. Only one other sophomore made the preseason list for the prestigious award.

“Andy was a great tight end for us last year,” head coach Carl Franks said. “He didn’t win anything yet, but this will motivate him even more.”

One of Duke’s main problems on offense last year was converting when they entered the red zone, the area designated

play at the next level,” head coach Carl Franks said. “We don’t need him thinking about that yet, but I think he’ll be ready next year.”

Fowler is hesitant to talk about graduation plans yet, since he has some unfinished business to take care of this year the senior has one thing in mind.

“We’re expecting to make a bowl game this year and we’re expecting to win it,” Fowler said.

as 20 yards away from an opponents’ end zone. Roland only grabbed two touchdown passes last year, which is possibly the most important aspect of his game that needs

improvement.

Critical pass receptions in the red zone will certainly make the difference in close game losses such as UNC and Clemson last

season.

“We need to do the little things late in the game to win the close ones,” Roland said- “Last year we lost a lot of games late in the fourth quarter on little mistakes.

We’re just preparing to be able to make those plays this season.”

One thing is certain about Roland this season. He is willing to help the Blue Devils any way he can; whether it be catching for a first down on third and short or blocking for Wade to get an extra yard that could make all the difference.

“This season I’m just trying to help this team get over the hump,” Roland said. “It doesn’t matter if I’m out on the field or on the sidelines. I’ll do whatever it takes.”
