DPD cite 5 for noise violations

BON APPETIT I A Table With A View

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

Durham police issued five citations to students early Sunday morning for violating the City Noise Ordinance

The cafe is the first retail establishment for Intimate Affairs, a catering company that has provided food for the Provost’s Office, University Development and other campus groups.

Since the cafe opened two weeks ago, business has been slow, Holland said, but plans for extensive advertising and marketing are in the works.

He said he hopes to attract customers from the high volume of traffic that

theirresidences off East Campus. The citations, which came with a $l5O fine for each recipient, left hosts and partygoers alike bewildered by what they said was an unfair blanket policy from the Durham Police Department.

The citations came just two weekends after neighbors’ complaints of excessive unruliness led Durham police to announce a zero-tolerance policy for students hosting off-campus parties. Now, however, students say they are being targeted by the police when their neighbors have not even called in complaints.

“I don’t think any of the neighbors called the police, and that’s why we were so frustrated when the police just showed up,” said Lucy Wood, one of the students who received a citation for a party hosted at her Watts Street apartment. ‘We received no warnings, and everyone who was there agreed that the noise was at a reasonable level.

We felt slighted by the entire situation.”

Wood added that although people were drinking at the party, which one roommate estimated to include 50 to 75 people, everyone was of legal drinking age and no one was causing any trouble.

Officials from DPD could not be reached for comment about the weekend citations.

Christine Mullis, one of Wood’s roommates, said police were in the neighborhood investigating a nearby car accident when they noticed about 10 people sitting on the stoop of their apartment building. One officer explained they had been ordered to issue citations if they noticed any loud music or gathered cars at students’ residences, Mullis said.

“The cops told us that no one had called and

Customers enjoy a quiet meal at the new Terrace Cafe in the Sarah R Duke Gardens Sunday.

Cafe opens, flowers abound by

Karen Hauptman THE CHRONICLE

On a sunny fall afternoon, when

August’s heat has receded and it’s finally comfortable to step outside again, the Sarah P. Duke Gardens can be the perfect place to relax, play Frisbee, read a book or just enjoy the scenery. But despite its 55 acres and hundreds of species of flora, the Gardens have always lacked one thing—a place to get a sandwich.

With the opening of the Terrace

Cafe by Intimate Affairs, however, visitors will now be able to partake of light fare while they enjoy the Gardens. Located next to the historic terraced gardens, the cafe’s location gives it a unique atmosphere compared to other campus dining options.

“We have the most beautiful, most picturesque dining room on Duke’s campus,” manager Shawn Holland said. “You can sit under a magnolia tree, or some exotic plant from Asia or Africa, and enjoy a cappuccino.”

|g|T| One week after suffering a 27-0 mSm shutout at the hands of Virginia, r-. wr 6 W. Carolina (U) took an impo rtant step in the right direction Saturday night, snapping its eight-game losing streak with a 29-3 drubbing ofDivision I-AA Western Carolina (0-2).

The 26-point margin of victory was the Blue Devil’s largest win at home since defeating Navy 47-17 in 1994, and the three points allowed were the fewest by a Duke defense in the Carl Franks era.

“This was a tremendously important game because of the way that we played at Virginia,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “It was important for us to come out and play with some emotion and get back to playing the way we knew we were capable of playing.”

The Blue Devils would get all of the offensive production that they would need on their first drive of the game, going 80 yards in 6:19 to take an early 6-0 lead.

Bush seeks $B7 billion, U.N. troops by

Elizabeth Bumiller

New York Times News Service

President George W. Bush said Sunday night he would ask Congress for $B7 billion for military and intelligence operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that Iraq had now become “the central front” in the war against terror.

In a nationally televised prime-time address, his first from the White House since he announced the bombing of Baghdad on March 19, Bush said that defeating terrorists in Iraq “will take time, and require sacrifice,” but he left open how long U.S. troops would remain in Iraq and how much the conflict and occupation would ultimately cost.

“Yet we will do what is necessary, we will spend what is necessary, to achieve this essential victory in the war on terror, to promote freedom, and to make our own nation more secure,” Bush said, from the White House Cabinet Room in a straightforward, unemotional manner that lacked the drama of his major war speeches to the nation.

Bush’s request for $B7 billion was on the high end of what Congress had expected. In recent days, administration officials had said they anticipated asking Congress for an additional $6O billion to $BO billion for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. The funding, if approved by Congress, would significantly

Sprinkler law concerns some by

Jennifer Hasvold THE CHROMICLE

“We didn’t start the fire?”

The Chapel Hill Town Council will debate an ordinance next week on the installation of sprinkler systems in nightclubs and bars with high occupancy to improve safety—but in the debate over safety versus cost, there are no easy answers.

Initially, the ordinance encompassed all businesses that serve alcohol with an occupancy of 50 or more but was met with strong resistance within the business community. After opposition from manv small establishments, the Chapel Hill Fire Department redrafted the ordinance to target only businesses with an occupancy of at least 100 people, narrowing the number of affected businesses to three bars.

The push for sprinkler systems in nightclubs comes after a deadly incident in a Rhode Island club last February that claimed the lives of 97 club-goers when a band’s pyrotechnics went awry and the sound-proofing insulation near the stage caught fire. The tragedy was followed by a similar incident in Chicago thatresulted in 20 casualties.

“After the Rhode Island incident we got a lot of phone calls from parents of students here, basically asking what we were going to do to make sure that [something similar] didn’t happen to their child,” said Chapel Hill Fire Marshall Caprice Mellon.

Mellon said the intention of the ordinance is not to target any group ofbusinesses unfairly.

‘There are some bars and nightclubs in town that aren’t going to install a sprinkler system if the ordinance is adopted that should have a sprinkler system—it simply won’t have the impact we would have liked for it to have,” Mellon said.

The proposed ordinance comes with a high price tag for affected businesses. The water source for sprinkler systems cannot be obtained from domestic water lines, meaning that business owners would incur the costs of tapping into the main water lines.

The cost for retro-fitting the businesses is significantly higher than it is for sprinkler systems, to be incorporated into the construction of new facilities.

Mark Dorosin, Trinity ’B7 and owner of Hell, one of the bars affected, estimated the cost of installation to be between $30,000 and $75,000, with an additional loss of revenue from staying closed during renovations. The SEE SPRINKLERS ON PAGE 8

THE CHRONICLE

A clash of political oppositions Saturday at the Sheraton Hotel in Durham as U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft arrived to drum up support for Patriot Act I and 11.

Using evocative and emphatic rhetoric, the Attorney General presented a short speech highlighting both the success and necessity of the Patriot Act in post Sept. 11-United States to select law enforcement, military and a generally conservative and supportive audience.

“Sept. 11 has led to a new seriousness, a new appreciation, a renewed love for the noble vision of liberty and the rule of law that guides this nation,” he said. met

Following his speech, Ashcroft also acknowledged growing concerns of civil liberties defenders. He explained that the Patriot Act was comprised mostly of existing laws and provisions that “are tools that are respectful of civil liberties.”

The attorney general made clear, ■however, that his main concerns focused solely on finding an end to terrorism in away that preserved the American way oflife.

“In the days after Sept. 11, we vowed to do everything within the law to prevent additional terrorist attacks... we have used the tools provided in the Patriot Act to fulfill our first responsibility to protect the American people.”

In stark contrast to the reserved

s

atmosphere in the Sheraton, some 450 protesters monitored by police gathered outside to demonstrate against Ashcroft and the Patriot Act. Incited by alarming provisions that they believe encroach and restrain civil liberties, they voiced their opinions boisterously.

Some drew comparisons of Ashcroft to notorious Orwellian figures such as Joseph Stalin and Senator McCarthy. The most prominent display came from local Durham activist Roger Erhlich—who was involved in the Chapel Quadrangle Tenting for Peace at Duke last year—as he drove around in a painted van, bearing slogans and shouting at the SEE ASHCROFT ON PAGE 8

THE CHRONICLE

Newly-elected student leaders must handle a sharp learning curve during their first days in office.

Leading At Duke, a new leadership orientation program, aims to simplify their initiation process by providing students with better training and a greater understanding of the resources available to them at the University.

The program is an updated form of Event Advising Center-led organization training, as well as financial workshops, offered in previous years. Organization leaders will have the chance to speak with key administrators and learn financial and administrative skills. The expanded three hour session, will take place tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday and will include dinner.

Zoila Airall, vice president for student affairs, said consistency is the ultimate goal for the program this year. “We want everybody to get the same message and understand some of the basic things they need to know about running a club,” Airall said.

Assistant Dean of Students Andrea Caldwell said some of these basic administrative guidelines were underemphasized in years past.

‘There were not a lot of clear directions for where students could go to find help,” said Caldwell. “We want to make sure that no matter what, [students] know where resources are available.”

Kristin Jackson, chair of the Student Organization Financial Committee, said that currently, many clubs do not know where to get money, or even that they have access to it.

Field Mob to accompany Ludacris

The brash, good-natured Dirty South rap outfit known as Field Mob will be the opening act for the Sept. 24 Ludacris concert at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Dylan Ashbrook, chair of the Duke University Union’s Major Attractions committee, said the presence of Field Mob should improve the show.

“Ludacris enjoys performing with them so they could bring some more energy,” he said. “They do have a pretty big local following, so hopefully that will bring some more people out.”

Field Mob hails from Albany, Ga., and has collaborated with artists such as Jermaine Dupri. The Mob’s most recent album, From the Roota to the Toota, made it to No. 33 on the Billboard albums chart.

Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said the cafe has considerable promise, calling it “a

sweet little oasis right in the middle of the Terrace Gardens area.”

He added that wireless Internet access would make the cafe an ideal place for students to study, and Holland said such plans are in the works.

And when winter approaches, patrons need not worry—the cafe will be outfitted so students, employees and visitors can still enjoy its ambience.

“During the colder months, it’s going to have shelter and a space heater,” Holland explained. “It’ll have all the comforts of home.”

Like other campus dining establishments, the Terrace Cafe accepts food points. It operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and serves sandwiches and salads, desserts, coffees, teas and snacks, Holland said.

Although the cafe is still not seeing the volume of customers Holland said he has been hoping for, so far patrons have had positive comments about both the food and the location.

“I think it’s real nice,” said Dale Hollar, Trinity ‘76 and Law ‘79. “I remember when [the Terrace Cafe] was the bathroom. I hope it’s successful, I love the Duke Gardens.”

Dmitry Burmistrov, an exchange student from Russia who was visiting Duke with Hollar, said the cafe was an attractive addition to the Gardens.

“The Chronicle was recognized based on its wide coverage of the need for and actions taken to improve Duke University’s sexual violence policies,” the NCCASA said in a letter to the staff.

“The paper’s fortitude and willingness to address the issues squarely and to publish a diversity of student and facul-

Managing Editor Jane Hetherington accepted the award on behalf of The Chronicle at the NCCASA’s annual conference Friday in Durham.

Officials at the conference said it is rare for the Golden Quill Award to be given to a college news media organization.

During the 2002-2003 year, The Chronicle published more than 25 articles relating to sexual assault, as well as two editorials, seven letters to the editor and 12 columns, including guest commentaries by President Nan Keohane and an anonymous student who was assaulted in a Wannamaker bathroom last year.

BUSH from page 2 strategic goal. They want us to leave Iraq before our work is done. They want to shake the will of the civilized world.”

In his 18-minute speech, Bush did not mention Osama bin Laden, the al Qaeda leader who has so far eluded American capture in Afghanistan. Bush also did not mention the failure so far to find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the major stated reason that the United States went to war. Nor did Bush dwell on the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, which he once predicted would abate if Saddam Hussein was ousted from power. That conflict has worsened.

The White House has come under intense criticism from candidates for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination for failing to present a clear plan for the administration’s course in Iraq, and for not attracting major international support for the country’s reconstruction.

Polls show support for Bush declining as Americans continue to die in Iraq and the country remains chaotic and violent.

Sunday night, Bush sought to downplay the bad news with his most succinct outline to date of the White House goals for Baghdad.

“Our strategy in Iraq has three objectives: destroying the terrorists, enlisting the support of other nations for a free Iraq and helping Iraqis assume responsibility for their own defense and their own future,” Bush said.

Bush said he would ask the United Nations for additional international troops for Iraq, a recognition that the administration simply cannot unilaterally maintain its current level of 181,000 U.S. troops in both Iraq and neighboring Kuwait.

He said the United States would introduce a resolution in the Security Council encouraging Iraq’s Governing Council to submit a plan and a timetable for drafting a new constitution, and for free elections.

“From the outset, I have expressed confidence in the ability of the Iraqi people to govern themselves,” Bush said.

“Now they must rise to the responsibilities of a free people, and secure the blessings of their own liberty.”

The speech was Bush’s first extended address about Iraq since he declared major combat operations were over in a May 1 speech aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln. He. was considerably more triumphal then, asserting that “In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”

But 149 Americans have died in Iraq since then, compared with the 138 in the invasion itself. The U.N. headquarters in Baghdad was bombed last month, a low point in the United States’ now fivemonth-old occupation.

On Sunday night, Bush sought to wrest back control of the debate as the White House seeks money and support for the war from Congress and the United Nations, and as he enters the first phase of his 2004 re-election campaign.

Much of Bush’s speech served as an update of how he saw the events in Iraq, and represented his most detailed remarks so far about the country’s recent chaos. He drew a distinction between what he said was the relative calm in the north and south of the country and the violence centered around Baghdad.

“The attacks you have heard and read about in the last few weeks have occurred predominately in the central region of Iraq, between Baghdad and Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s former stronghold,” Bush said.

Women’s soccer shucks Nebraska, ties Kentucky by

Matt Sullivan

THE CHRONICLE

had a bad touch with the ball. We just were as crisp and sharp as we’ve been in some of the games.”

So with Duke failing to put up a goal to strengthen the lead, along came the 73rd minute and along came Wildcats star Elizabeth Ramsey, who booted in a 20-footer to tie the game at 1-1.

After the wake-up call, though, Duke struck back 23 seconds later. Ford took over again, booming a a free kick from 20 yards out into the back of the net, giving the Blue Devils another tenuous advantage.

Just over five minutes later, Wildcat Jessica Laswell, who had set up the Ramsey goal, headed in a corner kick past outstretched goalie Kate Straka and tied the game once more.

Straka filled in at goalie for starter Thora Helgadottir, who missed the Kentucky game and will miss Duke’s two matches against Oregon State and Washington State next weekend as she plays in World Cup qualifiers with the Iceland National Team, but Church didn’t blame her for either goal, saying Straka was “confident” and “composed.”

But it was Kentucky that brought confidence and composure to the first overtime, pounding out five shots while Duke couldn’t muster one. Laswell even made a heart-stopping shot off the crossbar, leaving Duke inches away from being on the wrong end of another upset.

But Duke recovered, with senior Gwendolyn Oxenham’s shot and Seibert’s quick rebound failing to enter the net, as the Blue Devils settled for blemishing their record but still saving face.

“We’re still a good team, no question about it,” Church said. “But we also understand we’re a young team, and I think we have to get the mentality now that everybody’s going to be coming in shooting at us. And that’s different than when any of the girls have played in the past.

“Everybody’s going to come and get their best shot against us if we continue to have a high national ranking, if we continue to win. And you have to go through that to understand that as a team. So we’ll go through that some during the year.” not

Last weekend, the women’s soccer team had an easy Friday lead-in to its big Sunday game, pummeling the lowly Campbell Fighting Camels before upsetting then-No. 4 Texas. But this weekend was a different story, as No. 8 Duke headed into the Nike Carolina Classic knowing it had a lofty duo on its slate: No. 18 Nebraska and No. 24 Kentucky.

And while the Blue Devils again handled their Friday tune-up with a 3-1 drubbing of the Cornhuskers, handling a second intense match in as many days proved to be a test for Duke in its first try at holding onto a top-10 spot.

The Blue Devils could not hold onto two leads over the physical, and more experienced Wildcats yesterday, and survived a long last day to an even longer weekend, settling for a 2-2 tie after two scintillating overtimes.

“We’re still a young team, and you’re still going to have some of those games,” head coach Robbie Church said. “Especially Sunday games. Sunday games are so tough after putting a lot into Friday games. We just lost focus during the second half.”

Indeed, Duke (3-0-1) grabbed a quick lead on Kate Seibert’s second goal of the weekend—a header off a free kick from Carolyn Ford—and out-shot Kentucky (21-1) in the first half, but then the Blue Devils lacked the burst they showed against Texas.

Whereas Duke came out firing against the Longhorns, collapsing on defense and turning every scoring opportunity into a scoring threat, Church wasn’t excited about the Blue Devils’ passing or final strikes once they started to beat the defense.

“It was kind of a strange game in the sense that we did have a couple of good opportunities, but we didn’t have as many good opportunities,” he said. “And I think that’s because we didn’t possess the ball as well as we did against Texas. We either made a bad decision with the ball or we

QBs impressive, but can they do it against I-A? Mike Schneider had nothin’ doing on third down: nine yards to move the chains and not a receiver open as Duke charged into Western Carolina halfway through the second quarter Saturday. But the Blue Devils’ freshman quarterback did a good job making the most of it—as he did for most of his first college start—and charged, head on and head up, into two defenders.

It was too bad, then, that Catamount linebacker Lamar Barnes laid one helluva hit into that head of Schneider’s, ending the freshman’s day with a concussion before Schneider could fully prove why head coach Carl Franks gave him the stardng nod.

But it wasn’t a bad turn of events for Adam Smith, who had stood on the sidelines after a long week of smarting from an awful performance at Virginia and of knowing he wasn’t going to lead the offense —until now. Smith strutted in after a timeout and, on the very next play, flung a 24-yard pass across the field to Khary Sharpe, who fell into first and goal as Smith fell right back into the spotlight.

Franks called the transition “a good example of never knowing when your chance is going to come. Mike Schneider starts the game, and we move the ball right down the field. He’s doing pretty good—made a few mistakes after that first drive—but he gets hurt, there’s Adam’s chance again. He made the most ofit. And I was proud of the way that he handled himself through the week knowing that Mike was going to start, so I was just proud of the way he handled the situation. He did it very professionally.”

That sense of professionalism could be attributed to Smith’s performance this weekend, just the same. He was by no means stellar, and playing against a Division I-AA team never gives, that fair a portrayal. But Smith led Duke back from season opening misery, even if his play didn’t give as much promise for the future as Schneider’s.

After the game-turning pass to Sharpe, Smith got right back under center and flung the ball into the endzone for Reggie Love, his second pass in as many plays.

Now Love is 6-foot-4, and a fade pass to that gigantic a target against a 5-foot-9 cornerback doesn’t take star potential —freshman, sophomore, whatever. But while Schneider tried to stop his head from spinning on the trainer’s bench, an easy touchdown was good enough for a team that just had to remember how to score.

From then on, Smith made some clever screen passes and showed some potential for his otherwise non-existent running ability, but the sense of stagnation in his passing game —the same one that saw him muster just six complete passes in 20 attempts for a measly 47 yards against Virginia—was still there.

On his second drive, Smith he telegraphed a play action pass to no one on second down and then, later, lazily lobbed a deep pass on third-and-four to a diving Andy Roland, who wasn’t anywhere near the ball.

After collecting a rushing touchdown from a drive that only had to go one yard, Smith jumped into the second half and showed a few more signs of weakness. Two plays after hitting Alex Wade over the middle in his helmet, Smith fumbled and quickly recovered the dropped ball.

And when Duke was on its final scoring

drive in the fourth quarter, the Blue Devils relied heavily upon Chris Douglas and the running game, rather than on Smith, who smacked his head after rolling right and firing a long pass and then deliberately pump-faked into a head-on, blistering sack before finishing the scoring with another fade to Love.

But, hey, anything’s better than last week. Franks said he thought Smith was “tremendously better, much more consistent [and] had a lot more control of what he was doing. He hit a lot more plays, audibled a lot better. Not to say he wasn’t the same guy. I knew he was disappointed throughout the week. Who wouldn’t be?

But he didn’t let it show.”

Schneider, meanwhile, showed off plennever letting the fireworks that the team ty, ran onto the field with die down. He called an audible at the line for his first pass of

the day, hitting Love for 16 yards. He also showed confidence in scrambling —what Franks called “a dimension of escapability”—in leading Duke to its first score.

The rookie stood in the pocket to wait and fire a strong cross to Lance Johnson on the next drive, and he showed some savvy when he jumped out on a run and then shovel-passed to Wade three plays later, just before the end of his quick stint as starter.

As for next week, Franks said he’d wait to make sure Schneider would be ready for next week before even getting into making a decision about his starter. But at the end of a long day, Duke at least came out with a win—and a couple of intriguing options.

“I’m not sure what’s going to happen,” Smith said, “but it’s just kind of the way things go. You’ve got to find someone who can get the job done, so it’s just the way things go around here.”

Carolina defense all night to accumulate 106 yards on 22 carries.

Douglas picked up 40 yards—including a three-yard touchdown run—on the first drive alone, helping to relieve some of the pressure on quarterback Mike Schneider, who started his first game as a Blue Devil in place oflast year’s No. 1 passer Adam Smith.

“I knew that one of the things we were going to have to do was establish the run,” Douglas said. “I just tried to take it upon myself to run as hard as I could. My offensive line did a tremendous job blocking, and I’m very proud of them.”

Six points were all that Duke could muster in the first quarter, as its kicking game faltered early and often.

The Blue Devils missed their first extra point attempt after a fumbled snap, while also losing senior kicker Brent Garber to a rib injury as he tried unsuccessfully to run the loose ball into the endzone.

Junior Matt Brooks replaced Garber, pulling a 35-yard field goal wide left with 3:15 remaining in the first quarter and barely skimming a 44-yard attempt over the goal post at the end of the opening half.

“The area that we have got to fix right now is our kicking game,” Franks said. “I don’t know if it was the protection or how long it took to get the ball off, but our kicking game has got to come along.”

However, Duke’s shaky kicking was not enough to keep the game close. An interception by comerback Temo George—one ofhis two on the night—on the Catamount’s first drive of the second quarter gave Duke the ball at Western Carolina’s 37 yard line.

On third and nine after George’s pick, Schneider ran for six yards to the 30 yard line, .but he was hit hard by Catamount linebacker Lamar Barnes and defensive tackle Phillip Young. The Duke quarterback suffered a concussion on the play, forcing the Blue Devils to call a timeout

and insert Smith back into the lineup Smith made a seamless entrance into the offense, hitting wide receiver Khary Sharpe in stride on the left sideline for 24 yards to keep the Blue Devil drive alive. He then connected with wide receiver Reggie Love—who led Duke with four receptions—in the endzone for the senior’s first of two touchdowns on the evening.

“It was a little difficult coming in being cold,” said Smith, who completed 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards just one week after a disastrous 47-yard performance against Virginia. “But I knew there would be a chance for me somewhere down 'the road.”

Coming out of halftime with a 16-0 lead, the Blue Devils erased any thoughts of a Catamount comeback less than one minute into the third quarter.

Western Carolina quarterback Brian Gaither, who finished 18 of 33 for 181 yards and three interceptions, was sacked by defensive end Philip Alexander on the team’s second play of the drive. The ball was recovered tackle Matt Zielinski, putting Duke on the Catamount’s one yard line.

Smith easily took the ball into the endzone on a quarterback sneak to give the Blue Devils a 22-0 cushion.

“We made a lot of big plays on defense,” Franks said. “One of our goals is always to create turnovers on defense and not give any up on offense.”

The Catamount’s lone score in the game—a 26-yard field goal by Chris Vought with 3:08 remaining in the third quarter—denied Duke a chance to post its first shutout victory since it blanked North Carolina 41-0 on November 18, 1989.

“We were anxious to get the shutout tonight, but unfortunately we gave up the field goal,” George said. “But we kept playing defense so we wouldn’t let them get any more points after that. We knew that getting the first win of the season would be a big momentum boost and keep everybody striving for more wins the rest of the season.” '

THE CHRONICLE

Duke App. State

Duke’s field hock■■ ey team had another really nice

weekend After dominating the Blue Hen Classic a week ago in Delaware, winning two games by a combined score of 15-1, the Blue Devils (4-0) actually outdid themselves this weekend, as they beat James Madison 9-0 Saturday and Appalachian State 6-0 Sunday, both at

Williams Field.

Junior Chrissie Murphy scored a hat trick in the Blue Devils' 6-0 shutoutof Appalachian State.

the start, racking up 20 shots on goal and 15 penalty comer in the first half alone.

Chrissie Murphy scored three goals—all of which came in the second half—to lead the Blue Devils while Katie Grant had two scores ofher own.

But despite the lopsided score and the gaudy numbers her team put up, Duke coach Beth Bozman was less than satisfied with her team’s performance. “[We were] feeling better after Saturday,” Bozman said. “I think we were flat today. But I guess if you can look flat and win 6-0, it’s not too bad. I was honestly frustrated with our focus across the board.... We just really needed to take care of the simple things, stay at the task at hand. We were a little distracted. You have a big win like we did yesterday, and it’s hard to stay focused, but it’s a sign of a great team when you can just come back and roll over an opponent that’s not as strong as the opponent we just beat.”

Duke failed to capitalize on its penalty comer opportunities all day, often mishandling the entry pass. In all, out of 23 comer chances, the Blue Devils

scored on only one of them.

“I think that [comer play] is something we will work on this week,” Murphy said. “I think the main thing with those is that we did not have a girl in the goalie’s pads. We need to work better on getting the tip-ins on the comers.... We expected to score more goals. Even though it is 6-0, in general I think our team is a little disappointed. I was happy we were able to get the goals we did, but in general I think our team would have liked to put the ball into the net.”

Appalachian State also gave Duke some trouble, as the Mountaineers packed their defense in tight, according to Bozman.

“We just were really overcomplicating things,” Bozman said. “We want to try to stick to a simple game plan. Appalachian just packed everybody into the circle, so we had to be a little more creative and not be frantic and put the ball in the cage. I do think their goalkeeper did a nice job.”

Duke played JMU twice last year, losing once away, and winning once when it counted in the NCAA tournament. In addition, the Dukes beat eventual NCAA champions Wake Forest last season.

This may all be a sign of good things to come for the undefeated Blue Devils, who hosts the Demon Deacons Saturday.

“It’s nice to come out 4-0. [Do we feel unstoppable?] Definitely, and it is a good feeling going into Wake Forest. We did not play as well today as we did yesterday, but still being 4-0 in general coming up against the team who has ended up being our biggest rival, Wake Forest, we are really looking forward to it.... Everyone’s pretty psyched up.”

Soccer drops two close games in cigarless weekend by

Gabe Githens

THE CHRONICLE

After unfortunately stepping in a pile of mud, the adage is that “It happens to the best of us”.

This saying could also be applied to the men’s soccer team’s weekend, which consisted of back-to-back 2-1 losses.

Friday night, the No. 15 Blue Devils (22) attempted to avenge last year’s seasonending loss to unranked William & Mary (2-1), but came up on the short end of the scoreboard. A similar story unfolded Sunday, as the No. 19 University of California at Santa Barbara (2-0-1) outlasted Duke in a fast-paced shootout.

“In both games, it’s whoever takes advantage of the opportunities they create,” head coach John Rennie said. “We didn’t do as good a job as the other two teams.

Friday night was a heartbreaking loss because we had the game in hand. Today, it was an even game, it was a great game and either team could have won it. Unfortunately for us, they took better advantage of their scoring chances.”

Junior Drew McAthy scored the decisive goal for the Gauchos in the 73rd minute of the match. After receiving the ball from teammate Bryan Byrne, McAthy launched a shot from the left side that was deflected in mid-flight and consequently, Duke goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge found himself terribly out of position.

“I think we had a bad break, and tough games like that come down to bad breaks,” Trowbridge said. “I thought we played well defensively all weekend. We had a couple tough breaks.”

The Gauchos, led by New Zealand native Neil Jones, quickly found holes in

Duke UC-SB

Duke’s defense and created several chances in the Blue Devils danger zone.

Senior Matt Kubota rifled a ball from outside the 18-yard box that spiraled towards the right side of Duke’s net before Trowbridge made a diving save. Duke’s junior netminder denied all six first-half shots from UCSB, including two blasts from Jones.

Looking flustered in the opening stages of the game, the Blue Devils were able to regroup and mount a charge late in the first half. Midfielder Danny Kramer maneuvered his way into the penalty area and put a shot just over the Gauchos net with six minutes remaining in the half.

On the next Duke attack into UCSB territory, freshman Josh Swank used a serious of deacs that nearly broke the ankles of a Gauchos defender, who was left staring at Swank from behind. Gauchos goalkeeper Dan Kennedy quickly came out of goal and cut off the angle for Swank’s shot which was stopped from the left side.

“I thought we worked really hard in the second half to get around the penalty area into the goal,” Trowbridge said. “It was unfortunate the ball didn’t fall our way and it fell their way. We did well creating opportunities, we just got unlucky.”

Scoring began early in the second half as UCSB senior David McGill found room in the right corner of the field and served the ball for Jones, who easily finished from eight yards away. Not even a minute later, the freshman duo of Danny Miller and Chase Perfect created a breakaway opportunity for themselves on a counterattack.

Perfect lofted the ball over keeper Kennedy’s head into the back of the goal for a 1-1 tie at the 52:13 mark.

Duke continued to put pressure on the

Gauchos after they trailed 2-1, but none of its six ensuing shots found the back of the net. Kramer found himself with a great scoring chance in the penalty area for a second time after switching the fields from left to right. The midfielder took one too many dribbles and Kennedy came out of his goalpost again to gobble the ball up and leave Kramer without a shot.

Although Friday’s result was the same, the game played out much differendy.

Duke and William & Mary were scoreless until the 68th minute when junior Nigi Adogwa headed a cross into the net from 10 yards away. Leading 1-0 late in the game, Duke goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge was beaten on a 40-yard shot that sailed

over his head into the back of the net by Phil Hucles.

Hucles struck again on the offensive end just six and a half minutes later when he fed fellow Tribe teammate Patrick Scherder to give William & Mary a 2-1 lead. Despite outshooting William & Mary 12-7 and forcing seven corner kicks compared to two by the Liberty, Duke was unable to finish its chances and registered a defeat.

“Our team is a lot better today than it was Friday afternoon,” Rennie said. ‘We played a lot more guys today. Everyone who got in the game did a really good job...l’m not pleased with the result, but I’m pleased with everything else-.”

Charmed, volleyball digs up three wins and .500 record by

PaulaLehman

THE CHRONICLE

While Wally Wade saw some action, Cameron was heating up with the women’s volleyball team (3-3), which took all three games in the Duke Classic, downing Charlotte 4-1, Buffalo 3-1 and Southern Illinois 3-0.

“When we set up our offense,” team captain Krista Dill said, “it’s hard to stop us.”

That was basically the make-or-break attitude for Duke over the course of all three matches. When the Blue Devils were focused enough to pass well off their opponents’ attack, they were able to get the ball down.

In the second game against Southern Illinois, the team’s intensity seemed to have faded as the Salukis were more aggressive at the net and were able to breakdown what had been Duke’s impenetrable defense. With consistent blocks by freshmen Katie Weekley and Lindsay Matikosh, Southern Illinois was able to soften the Blue Devil’s hard line shots and allow for greater hitting

Duke S. Illinois

opportunities.

“I think there was an overall lack of intensity and focus which showed in the way we played,” Dill admitted.

As the two teams batded back and forth for possession, Shephard put up a crucial block against Duke power-hitter Tealle Hunkus to pull the Salukis within three.

“When we went into that timeout we knew it was our game to win,” senior Tassy Rufai said. “We just had to stay focused, minimize our errors and stay aggressive.”

With a power tandem attack by Hunkus and a block from Dill, Duke was within one. Rufai destroyed the next attack to tie up the game and an ace served down the line for game point. The Salukis gained possession with a missed serve from the Blue Devils but it was all over for them. Dill put up consecutive solo blocks and Duke pulled out the win 31-29.

“Our intensity was up after that first game and we put in some new players and it effected that intensity,” coach Jolene Nagel said. “In the end I thought we communicated and passed really well and we were able to play more crisply.”

Rufai had an outstanding all-tournament performance

Harriers get off to fast start with Ist, 2nd place finishes by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

For head coach Norm Ogilvie, the three-team Covered Bridge Open was not a time to show the nation the strength of the Duke cross country programs. Instead, Ogilvie used the season’s opening meet to test his respective teams’ depth and give some of his younger runners a chance to gain collegiate experience.

Despite that, the women’s squad finished in first place, sweeping the podium, and the men placed second at Friday’s races hosted by Appalachian State University.

Laura Stanley took the gold medal in the race after finishing the 5k course in 18:06. Fellow sophomore Shannon Rowbury placed third, hitting the tape in just under 19 minutes.

But Ogilvie was elated with the performance of junior Paige Miller, who after missing the entire 2002 season due to injury, finished second in the women’s race.

“Paige was our number one runner two years ago,” Ogilvie said. ‘That is huge news for us. Since she is back and healthy it will make our team much better.”

While the performances of Stanley, Miller and Rowbury were somewhat expected, Ogilvie was pleasandy surprised with the strong races run by seniorJan Faraguna and junior Alyssa Mathe. Faraguna finished the race in 19:16, good for fifth place, and Mathe clocked in at 19:53, also finishing in the top 10.

“Both had great races Friday night,” Ogilvie said. ‘They ran their best cross country races so far in their Duke careers.”

On the men’s side, the coaches really reserved the teams firepower, sitting their top 10-runners. Yet, Morgan Clark was able to muster a second-place finish to lead the Blue Devils.

“I was very happy for our senior Morgan Clark,” Ogilvie said. “He ran a pretty conservative race. He hung back early in the race and moved up in the last couple of miles. He ran really smart and had plenty left in the end.”

Clark will get a chance to see where he stands among the team’s top runners next weekend.

Casey Reardon and Cameron Bell also finished the race in the top 10 for the Blue Devils.

Host school Appalachian State won the meet, led by individual winner Mark Maddox. Six other Mountaineers finished in the top 10.

The Blue Devils will race again Saturday in Charlottesville, Va., where Duke will roll out most of its top runners on the men’s side.

Most of the women who raced Friday will be given next weekend off as the coaches will give other runners a chance to compete.

Although Ogilvie will have to wait until next week to get a true measure of the strength ofhis respective teams, he was very pleased with his runners and is feeling more confident about the depth of the program.

She led the team in kills with 34 over the course of all three matches and 16 defensive digs that were crucial in setting up Duke’s offense. Her aggressive attacks were crucial, especially against Charlotte where she recorded 18 kills over four games.

“She’s been real solid,” Nagel said. “Not only can she can attack with the best of them, but she has been playing solid defense. Teams are starting to pick up on that and key in on her.”

Dill also had another outstanding weekend. She has proven herself to be a defensive wall against any opponent’s best hitters. Over all three match-ups, Dill registered a total of 15 blocks, seven against Charlotte alone.

She also led the team in hitting percentage against the 49ers as well as Buffalo— recording 36 and 50 percent,

respectively.

But to emphasize the role of the defense in the Blue Devils’ victory, Stephanie Istvan was named Tournament MVP. Istvan recorded 43 assists overall. She tallied 11 digs against

Southern Illinois and 17 against Charlotte, which allowed Duke to set up an aggressive net attack.

LEADERS

CITATIONS from page 1

from page 4

Concerned by such administrative lapses, Airall formed a task force in student affairs, which looked at the student leadership programs of other schools. They concluded that Duke was well behind its peers in providing support for student organizations.

In addition to providing information on financial and administrative strategies, the orientation program will also help students create a social network with peers and administrators.

David Chen, president of the Asian Students Association, is one of over 100 students planning to attend over the next few days. Chen described the program as “a very positive step on the part of the University to bring everyone together.”

An additional facet of the program is firming the role of advisors to student organizations.

Airall said that there was not enough consistency in the advising that student leaders received, adding that she planned to have advisors be more prepared to address the needs of their particular organizations. Also, she assured that these advisors will “act as soundboards,” not as policy makers.

Caldwell hopes that ultimately, students will leave the program more knowledgeable and headed in the right direction.

“We have the opportunity to get student leaders out on the right foot,” she said.

Andrew Collins contributed to this story.

Happy belated birthday to Ace-man Collins and Aaron Levine, who say they turned 20 and 19, respectively, but we think actually turned 18 and 13, Bouncers, please check their ids.

complained, but they had to write a citation, no matter what,” she added. Mullis was not one of the two residents

a citation from the Watts Street residence.

Durham police issued three more citations to students living not far from the Watts Street apartment complex.

Andrew Salenger, who received a citation for excessive noise at his house on Onslow Street, said he was upset by what he said was an unjustified response to Saturday night’s party.

“I talked direcdy with a police officer who said it came down from up high that Durham cops had to come in and break up the Duke parties,” Salenger said. “When we saw the cops, we cracked down on the party immediately, but they still wanted to get us in trouble.”

Salenger added that he and other residents of the Onslow Street house now have serious apprehensions about hosting any gatherings at all in the future.

“The cop said that if he has to come back, they’re going to have to bring us all to jail,” Salenger said. “I don’t fault the individual police officers because they’re under orders to go through and systematically break the parties down. But still, the people in my house have no plans of having another party in the future, which is kind of unfair.”

Mary Peavey, a junior who saw the police pull up to the house as she was leaving the party, said she thought the citations were unwarranted.

“I don’t recall there being loud music. You could tell there was a party going on, but I don’t think it was excesto receive

broader effort to tap the unusual properties of various iron breathers, now being discovered across the far reaches of the planet, to generate power or clean up oil spills or other pollutants.

As it has become clear that the world will need energy alternatives, some researchers have turned to the idea of finding new ways of releasing the enormous amount of energy trapped in plants and other organic matter.

This is the idea behind ethanol, a fuel made from corn.

But instead of using organic matter to make a fuel, the battery announced Sunday converts organic matter directly into electricity.

“We need people thinking outside of the box, and these researchers are clearly thinking outside the box,” said Mark Finkelstein, group manager of bioprocess research and development at the government’s National Bioenergy Center in Golden, Colo. “And this has shorterterm possibilities than the hydrogen research that is getting so much funding.”

The battery relies on a colony of tiny bacteria, called Rhodoferax ferrireducens, first brought up from underground by a research drill in Oyster Bay, Va. The bacterium is unusual because it is able to completely break down sugars without using oxygen. In its natural environment, the bacterium breaks down sugars for energy and deposits electrons on iron as a byproduct.

The research team, which included UMass-Amherst postdoctoral research associate Swades Chaudhuri, placed these bacteria in a closed glass container with a sugar solution and a graphite electrode. As the bacteria ate the sugar, they took up residence on the electrode and began depositing electrons on it.

other two businesses affected, Bub O’Malley’s and The Treehouse, occupy the same building as Hell.

Mellon added that one business owner, rather than face the possibility of having to install a sprinkler system, closed his bar in Chapel Hill and plans to move to a nearby community to open another bar.

Patrons of the bars began to circulate a petition to present at the town council meeting next Monday, and Dorosin said the petition to ‘Save Hell’ has gathered over 200 signatures. “The support has been really overwhelming.... Hopefully we’ll make the town council understand,” he said.

Jason Nichols, a graduate student in the biochemistry department at UNC, received the petition via e-mail from a friend and agreed that the ordinance is over-reaching.

“If people were really concerned about fire safety you’d think they would have a broader ordinance that would have more of an impact,” Nichols said.

Mellon said they had not discussed reintroducing a proposition with a wider scope.

“There are some parents who are happy that this step is being taken,” Mellon said. “They may feel that [the ordinance] is not broad enough but it is a step in the right direction.”

Many of those who received citations over the weekend expressed a desire for clearer communication between students and University and DPD authorities.

“There’s no standard of how much noise is too much noise, so there’s no way for us to know if we were being too loud,” said Elizabeth Brookhiser, one of the students who was cited at the Watts Street apartment. “If there was no warning, and no one had to complain, is this saying that we’re not allowed to have gatherings of any kind?”

Parker Bell, who also lives in the Watts Street apartment but was not issued a citation, said the University’s administration was sending mixed signals about what it expected from its students living off campus. “[Vice President for Student Affairs Larry] Moneta said [in The Chronicle] he wanted to encourage students to have smaller gatherings. This was definitely a smaller gathering. We knew everyone there, yet two of my roommates still got citations,” she said.

The five citations were issued by Durham police around Ta.m. Sept. 7. Those cited were Brookhiser and Lucy Wood of 603 Watts Street and Michael Amodeo, Salenger and Justin Strader of 830 Onslow Street.

“Before I left, they had probably gotten about half the people off the porch and no onewas really in the yard unless they were just walking up,” she said.

ASHCROFT from page 3 crowd through a megaphone.

“When the process of public debate becomes so corrupt, that’s when the public itself must resort to more flamboyant protest,” he said.

Highest among the agenda of the protesters was the American Library Association, which, under a new provision of the Patriot Act, would be required to disclose library records of suspected terrorists.

Opting to express their concerns more melodically, a group of librarians sang in verse to passing cars and pedestrians. “If you don’t hear dissent then you know we are not free,” they sang.

The protest also included representation from Duke—several professors and graduate students arrived in addition to an entire contingent of freshmen from Gilbert-Addoms dormitory.

Diane Nelson, associate professor of cultural anthropology, offered her own reasons for attending the protest.

“It is the time to let Mr. Ashcroft know that there are people here with a different definitionof what patriotism means,” she explained.

The goal was the opposite of pop art to capture visual cliches, a monument of the Soviet myth of the American lifestyle.

The Independent Daily at Duke University

$B7 billion well-spent

Four

months and 287 American lives later, President George W. Bush came before the American people in a national broadcast Sunday night to outline where we have been, where we are going and how much rebuilding Iraq, and continuing the war on terror, will cost: $B7 bil-

lion. Bush’s commitment to Iraq is assuring—but democracy-builders proceed with caution.

In his background on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Bush outlined the victories against terrorist networks and for those he should be commended.

Bush said his primary objective is to destroy terrorist networks across the globe, guided by continued spending meant to extend the reach and effectiveness of American intelligence operations. However, before America can devote significant resources to other world theaters and threats, it must secure Iraq. Bush was right in calling for support from other countries in this endeavor.

Despite the Bush Administration’s claims to the contrary, the American military is understaffed, and cannot guarantee the level of stability around Baghdad that will be required for reconstruction efforts to make meaningful progress. The terrorist attacks in recent weeks prove that a multilateral peacekeeping force is necessary however, foreign troops must not replace the American force, they must supplement it. It will take a large, coordinated force to repel the Ba’atnist guerrillas and the influx of foreign Islamic terrorists that have crossed Iraq’s largely unpoliced borders to make war on American forces. Bush’s call to world leaders to widen the coalition involved in rebuilding Iraq is a step in the right direction.

In this respect, Bush’s second and third objectives—enlisting international support in rebuilding Iraq and empowering the Iraqi people for self-government—seem to go hand in hand. With a larger force and increased security, the reconstruction planners will be able to proceed with the most important tasks at hand—installing in Iraq a working infrastructure, including updated electric, water and sanitation facilities and turning the administration of central Iraq over to the Iraqi people.

The immense resources being put into American efforts in Iraq should be used to create an environment of security for the Iraqi people, economic security not being the least of these. America should proceed with caution and prudence m developing stable industry in Iraq.

Reconstruction can be a mutually profitable venture, for Iraq and for foreign multinational corporations. Yet the U.S. must keep in mind that to enlist the military support of other nations, the U.S. will likely have to share the reconstruction economic pie, by opening reconstruction contracts to foreign bidders. The contracts should be awarded on the basis of cost-effective, comprehensive bids, not nationality or political connections. By the same toxen, the world must accept the fact that American multinational corporations may, in many cases, be best suited for rebuilding Iraq’s infrastructure.

While Bush deserves credit for laying out America’s reconstruction agenda, and its price-tag for the American public, he did leave questions to be answered. First, his statement concerning the failure to produce evidence of WMD continues to cast a shadow over the justifications for war, and the credibility of his administration. Further, Bush cited the need to continue the war on terror, and bring the fight to the homelands of those who would make war on America. However, he failed to address legitimate concerns about terrorist networks in Saudi Arabia, an acknowledged hotbed for terrorist activities, and the home of many of the terrorists involved on the attacks on the Twin Towers.

To be brief, Bush laid out a reasonable and realistic list of priorities, and Congress should be equally reasonable in funding those priorities.

The

recent weekend of “out-of-control” off-campus parties that seems to have featured Duke students acting with irresponsible disregard of their next-door neighbors’ well-being makes me question the nature of the so-called “Duke community.” I wonder if such activity represents an isolated incident that does not reflect on Duke as a whole, or if is it symptomatic of a community that does not expect responsibility or ethical conduct from its members.

Derek Gantt Does one ex-fraternity president admitting to the atrociousness of the recent off-campus behavior while blaming said behavior on Larry Moneta reflect the sentiments of many Duke students, or are we willing to hold individuals accountable for their actions? Furthermore, are oncampus sexual assaults, hurtful fraternity hazing and other shameful behaviors characteristic of the Duke community, or are such actions merely a few aberrations from the norm?

Specific concerns lead to broader, more provocative questions. What kind of community is Duke, anyway? What kind of community should Duke be? Many of us struggle with these questions. One of the most notable attempts at defining Duke as a community in recent months is the new Community Standard. The obligation of students to report their knowledge of all “cases of potential academic dishonesty” and the requirement that students behave “responsibly and honorably” define the Duke community as one that demands certain ethical behavior of students. Because the Community Standard apparently will be “phased in” to apply to different classes until all undergrads have signed on to it, the Community Standard seems to be not so much an attempt at defining a community that already exists as an effort to create a community with a set of rules that governs the conduct of its members.

The Community Standard was adapted after surveys showed that many students admitted to actions of academic dishonesty; but there are ways that the Duke community appears in a shameful light outside of the classroom. Last year’s assualt in a Wannamaker bathroom and the reaction to it present a case-in-point in how the Duke community tolerates behavior in a manner far removed from any sense of responsibility or honor.

In a Chronicle column printed in February, President Nan Keohane wrote that the sexual assault that took place last year in Wannamaker was probably done by a student. The fact that a Duke student could have committed the assault speaks poorly of the behavior tolerated here at Duke because such toleration surely could have enabled the per-

petrator to commit the crime. The assailant plausibly could have believed that the chances of being punished for his behavior were slim to none. If such speculation did occur, circumstances seem to have proven him right.

Nan dropped her “a Duke student probably committed the assault” bombshell obliquely, presenting it as evidence that the threat of sexual violence on this campus is largely from within, not from without. Additionally, the “a student probably did it” tidbit was presented as if that admission rendered finality to the matter. We hear of no ongoing investigation, of no attempts to find the guilty party; we hear only that, months after the fact, Duke’s President is willing to confirm a suspicion a lot of us had ever since we first heard about the incident. If the assailant is “still walking around campus,” as Tal Hirshberg wrote in a recent column, where is he? Evidently, we as a community are irresponsible enough to harbor criminals in our midst.

Despite instances of the Duke community failing in some fundamental ways, though, people allude to the existence of a Duke community with ethical standards quite often. A recent e-mail from the resident coordinator of my quad informed its recipients of reports of students throwing glass bottles out of their dorm windows in the paths of unsuspecting passers-by. In the e-mail, my RC referred to the responsibility' we all have as community members to “hold each other accountable for community standards.” Of course, the fact that my RC felt the need to refer to such responsibility is ample evidence that no such feeling of responsibility exists in our community. We are inundated with reminders about our responsibilities as community members. Do we think that by repeating such responsibilities so often, we can make ourselves take these

responsibilities seriously?

Duke has a long way to go before becoming a community that holds its members responsible for their actions.

Scores of statements that describe the Duke community as an ethical one can do very little to make positive changes in our community.

The lapses in institutional integrity that range from toleration of rape to supporting the American war-making militaryindustrial complex through investment of endowment funds and other means (as well as the University, like so many others, doing business that supports oppressive regimes from Sudan to Myanmar and beyond) only exacerbate the weaknesses of the Duke community. If a certain fraternity cannot apologize for life-threatening conduct during rush without shamelessly complaining of “harsh” punishments for their behavior in the process, I am afraid we all have a long way to go before we can consider Duke a community we can be proud of.
