Students streamed in and out of a party at 704 Buchanan St. as police patrolled the area regularly.

It wasn’t exactly all quiet on the Eastern front on the first weekend Duke students were back at school. Frustrated residents in neighborhoods near East Campus said they saw more students than ever before stream past their sidewalks to the houses unrestricted by Duke’s on-campus regulations. And as undergraduates stumbled by front porches, they made as much noise as the thumping basses of the stereo systems at the parties down the street.

Friday night, police broke up at least five parties in the area off East Campus, and Saturday they raided several more.

Neighbors noted that the police responded promptly to complaints this year, and several students said authorities were cordial as they shut down the gatherings that drew hundreds of people.

‘They were pretty cool about it,” senior Matt Nusnbaum said of the police who ended his house party on 913 Dacian Ave. early. “As soon as people scattered, they were joking about it.”

Duke remains sth in U.S. News University ranks 9th toughest by

THE CHRONICLE

The perennially popular U.S. News and World Report rankings of “America’s Best Colleges” were released last week, to the eager anticipation of over-ambitious high school seniors. Duke remained in fifth place in this year’s rankings, tied with Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“We’re always pleased if we’re holding steady or going up,” Provost Peter Lange said. “However, we recognize the limitations of these rankings.”

Harvard University and Princeton University remained tied at the number one spot and Yale University stayed at third place. The University of Pennsylvania, which was grouped with Duke last year, moved up to fourth place.

The California Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and Dartmouth College rounded out the top 10.

In rankings for specific categories, the Pratt School ofEngineering earned 22nd place for best undergraduate engineering program, up from 24th last year. Its specialization in biomedical engineering was named the second in the nation.

Duke was also rated as eighth in the “Best Value” cate-

to get

into in Princeton Review

gory, in large part because of its financial aid program which provides, on average, a 53 percent discount on Duke’s total cost of $39,240. Approximately 38 percent of Duke students receive grant aid.

The rankings, which are released annually, are often criticized for their methodology, which ranks universities statistically in 18 categories, including selectivity, graduation rate and student-to-faculty ratio. The weightiest factor, peer assessment by top administrators at other universities, remains qualitative The administration at Duke, however, does not put great stock in the rankings. Many say the only place where they really matter is in college admissions, as high school seniors often use them to decide among peer schools.

The rankings are flawed because they take “one magazine’s particular view of what should be important and elevate it to the level of what is perceived to be objective reality,” said Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. “What bothers me is that people think these rankings are objective.”

Fighting continues in Najaf's Old City by

Abdul Hussein Al-Obeidi THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAJAF, Iraq

Explosions and gunfire

shook Najafs Old City Sunday in a fierce battle between U.S. forces and Shiite militants, as negotiations dragged on for the handover of the shrine that the fighters have used for their stronghold.

Late Sunday, U.S. warplanes and helicopters attacked positions in the Old City for the second night with bombs and gunfire, witnesses said. Militant leaders said the Imam Ali Shrine compound’s outer walls were damaged in the attacks. The

U.S. military had no immediate comment, though it has been careful to avoid damaging the compound.

Also, five U.S. troops were reported dead in separate incidents, and an American journalist held hostage for more than a week and threatened with death if U.S. forces did not leave Najaf was released by his captors.

Sunday’s clashes in Najaf appeared more intense than in recent days as U.S. forces sealed off the Old City. But Iraqi government officials counseled patience, saying they intended to resolve the crisis with-

We have a vested interest in a peaceful settlement.”

The Bush administration’s new overtime rules go into effect

Sen.

Monday, but the Kerry campaign has already begun attacking the regulations, saying they will hurt millions of American workers.

Urging President George W. Bush to scrap the rules, the Kerry campaign and organized labor say the regulations will exempt up many as six million Americans at a time when they need that to six million additional workers from receiving time-and-a-half money the most?” Edwards said.

That follows attacks by Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic prespay by redefining which workers qualify when they work more

than 40 hours.

The administration asserts that no more than 107,000 workers will lose their eligibility, while 1.3 million workers will gain the right to overtime.

In essence, the hundreds of pages of new rules redefine the criteria for which administrative, professional and managerial workers qualify for overtime, among them nurses, chefs, pharmacists, funeral directors, claims adjusters and restaurant managers.

Majdi aims for visibility at DSG helm Wilder to lead alumni affairs dept. by

Julie

Stolberg THE CHRONICLE

The “work-hard, play-hard” mentality is still alive and well at Duke, and Pasha Majdi is here to prove it.

On three hours of sleep a night, Majdi has tackled a double major in public policy and philosophy, three years as a leader on three years in Campus Council, Krzyzewskiville’s tent No. I—and now he’s facing even more sleep deprivation as president of Duke Student Government.

Majdi, who admits that his greatest weakness is not knowing when to give up, pursues almost everything he does with intensity—whether it’s his involvement with Campus Council, his academic pursuits, his membership in Maxwell House or his renowned status as a Cameron Crazy stalwart. “IfI’m going to do it, I’m going to do it right,” he said.

The Vienna, Va., native’s decision to run for the position ofDSG president was motivated by his feeling that he had the potential—even as a newcomer to the organization —to “do DSG right” by utilizing his campus presence and making himself as accessible as possible.

“I wanted to be the DSG president that everyone knows and can come and talk to and complain to,” Majdi said. “I just wanted to be a different type of leader, be someone that is extremely accessible and visible and people feel comfortable just coming and talking to and asking for help.”

Acting on that promise of heightened DSG accessibility to students, there will be a dinner once a week at the Loop for students to express their concerns to student government representatives.

The town hall-style meetings are just the beginning of Majdi’s plans for DSG thisyear to deviate from the traditional paths of past administrations. He wants to address race relations, sexual assault and the prevalence of eating disorders on campus, issues that DSG has avoided in the past but that have come under greater campus scrutiny of late.

“I think student government is pretty much too scared to deal with it. They think it’s too big and feel powerless,” he said of those hot-button topics. “Most people think we can’t do anything about it, and I don’t think that’s true. What we want to do this —

And so I’m going to try to be at the forefront of that, essentially leading a movement as opposed to like passing a law.”

Senior Aneil Lala, a close friend of Majdi’s who lives with him in Maxwell House and worked with him on residential councils their freshman year, said Majdi’s drive should result in effective resolutions to those types ofcampus problems. “He’s a motivator. When he gets excited he gets people around him excited about an issue. He can recognize problems... more readily than the average student,” Lala said. “In general he’s probably the most energetic person I’ve ever met. I don’t see him sleep.”

During a summer spent at Duke, Majdi, other members ofDSG and members of the University administration did not take much of a break. They moved toward implementing changes to die freshman meal plan, constructed a web site modeled after eßay where students can exchange goods and SEE

If there were any worries about replacing Laney Funderburk, the alumni affairs czar and shmoozing ambassador for Duke who announced in April that he would retire after 22 years in his post, graduates near and far can now breathe easy.

A search committee announced Thursday that it had tapped Sterly Wilder, director of annual giving for the past 12 years and a Dukie for life, to take over as the University’s new executive director of alumni affairs, effective Jan. 1.

“Sterly’s been around forever also and that has us really excited,” said Robert Shep- Sterly Wilder ard, vice president for alumni affairs and development.

“She’s highly regarded, well respected, she knows many, many alumni and obviously bleeds Duke Blue.”

Funderburk is known for his cheery disposition and status as a community icon—he can often be found hollering on his feet at Cameron Indoor Stadium—not to mention his work in revamping operations within alumni affairs and bringing the department forward to the digital age. But Wilder too is seen as a people person around the alumni house on Chapel Drive and already leads a staff of 10, which deals primarily with development.

“They are big shoes to step into,” Wilder said. “But we want to build on the success of [Funderburk’s] programs

THE CHRONICI

thechronicleatl 00 Academic freedom Duke reigns at

by

Matt Sullivan

tial candidate Norman Thomas passed through with a grace of his own, accompanied by the poise ofDuke President William Few. First Few set forth the University’s support of the clubsponsored speech, but he was out of town for Thomas’s visit and returned to angry letters and an editorial in a local trade publication insinuating that certain Duke professors had used personal political motivation to lure Thomas to campus. So Few, underscorer that he was, used the opportunity to hearken back to Bassett, to Duke’s ability to maintain some freedom of religion, and to his personal contempt for opinions that turned a blind eye to freedom of speech in the name of lewd speech that was “the ruin of the Old South.”

But the New South still struggled to fully grasp a new wrinkle in political discourse in 1954 and 1955, when the Duke debate team was set tackle the question of whether the United States should recognize Communist China in international relations. A freshman debater sent a measly letter to his local congressman asking for advice. The politician was astonished that the team might even fathom a pro-Chinese position. “I have no personal acquaintances,” he went on to say, “either in Congress or elsewhere who have indicated favoring such recognition.”

When the debate team argued in favor of recognizing China, Duke President A. Hollis Edens remained relatively out of the spotlight for the group’s triumph, allowing the team to carry on in competition and encouraging its faculty advisor to be filmed for Edward R. Murrow’s “See It Now.” Edens had already been a champion of freedom three years earlier, when Senator Joseph McCarthy threatened legal action against the University. Sociology professor Hornell Hart had written a pamphlet criticizing McCarthy’s investigation of accused Communists in the U.S.

THE CHRONICLE

When Duke officials announced earlier this month that the University would permit a pro-Palestinian conference to rumble onto campus in the fall, they did so with a vigor that reached from the First Amendment to a modern moral conflict, that swept through the history of the institution and invoked the moral gravitas of higher education and that reestablished Duke’s bedrock of academic freedom.

“We recognize the topic of this conference will generate strong emodons and may spark protests, as it has elsewhere,” wrote John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government reladons, in an Aug. 5 statement. “However, we believe the best anddote to speech that others find disagreeable is more speech, not less.”

Indeed, the collective voice of the University has come to unify and distinguish itself in the name of free speech ever since Dec. 2, 1903, when Trinity College stood fast in refusing to accept the resignation of professor John Spencer Bassett, who had written in an editorial that Booker T. Washington was “the greatest man, save General Lee, born in the South in a hundred years.” When Bassett crossed racial boundaries with his praise, he drew the ire of local and regional community members still entrenched in the legacy of slavery.

Despite the immediate threats the Bassett Affair prompted for the school—the entire faculty and President John Kilgo were all but set to step down in protest —the precedent the Board of Trustees set gave Duke the basis for deciding a multitude ofother threats to academic freedom in the years to come.

Controversial speakers brought to campus have often prompted negative responses. During the week of the Bassett Affair’s 27th anniversary, Socialist Party presiden-

Panelists discuss summer reading Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

by

“You can get all A’s in college and flunk life.” This senti-

ment from author Walker Percy was just one nugget ofadvice shared by panelists at Sunday’s freshman-oriented summer

reading discussions. For their first college reading assign-

ment, the newest Duke students read Mountains Beyond Mountains by Pulitzer-prize winning author Tracy Kidder, which chronicles the life of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Duke alumnus who has committed his life to providing health care in the de-

veloping world.

Hundreds of students and First-year Advisory Counselors filled Baldwin Auditorium as part of the University’s PATRICK PHELAN/THE newly expanded approach to its summer reading program.

As part of ongoing efforts to extend the summer reading experience, freshmen attended a panel discussion Sunday afternoon.

In two sessions, new this year, panelists with diverse academic backgrounds—including professors who teach classes in medicine, women’s studies and theater, among others—discussed the book and explored its connections to their own disciplines.

As freshmen flooded out of the auditorium they banded into groups, clutching their free hardcover copies of the nonfiction work and joining their FACs for discussions around campus. This year several professors, particularly those involved in the University Writing Program and FOCUS classes, planned to join in on some of those discussions, said senior Ryan Welsh, co-chair of the FAC program.

W f TRAcy 3 “Dean [Robert] Thompson and I some upper level academic adminI istrators said we need to do a better T job of integrating the summer readSfiVo-vi) ing into the rest of the freshman year,” Welsh said. “Ideally the freshman summer reading program is a means of providing an example of a shared intellectual experience.”

Palestine conference draws heated debate Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

by

The Palestine Solidarity Movement is used to opposition. Its first controversial conference, in sunny California, was barely a blip on the radar screen. By its third meeting, there was a minor uproar over its location, leadership and intent. As the organization prepares for its fourth convention here at Duke, it’s getting used to the attention.

PSM periodically makes headlines for its annual conference, which began four years ago at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley. It is an umbrella organization that joins together various pro-Palestinian groups, most of them university-affiliated. The conference is their primary interaction point.

PSM’s ultimate goal is to end the fighting between Palestinians and Israelis by ending the Israeli occupation of land it considers Palestinian. “We aim to end all these troubles by focusing on the root cause, the disease itself, which will eliminate all other problems,” said Fayyad Sbaihat, a national spokesperson for PSM. The organization is comprised primarily of university students, and Jewish people comprise almost a third of its members.

Palestinian people comprise another third of the several hundred members.

The group is intensely democratic.

Sbaihat said every decision, from conference location to the roster of speakers, is put to a vote of the 73-member organizing committee. “We’d like to be fair,” he noted.

Voting helps quell some of the dissent

among the range of pro-Palestinian opinions that exist within PSM. The organization has had several heated debates about whether to explicitly condemn suicide bombings and other terrorist-type violence. Since PSM is a coalition of other groups, not every member stands in the same place along the continuum of Palestinian advocates—some are extremely moderate while others border on radical.

A wide array of positions That range of opinions has driven PSM into the news before. The group came under national scrutiny last year when organizers for a planned conference at Rutgers University spoke to the media, advocating Palestinian liberation “by any means necessary.” New Jersey officials denounced the conference. Meanwhile, PSM was growing increasingly frustrated with the Rutgers hosts’ attempts to bypass the conference planning structure and act unilaterally.

PSM decided to move its official conference to Ohio State University. The student organizers at Rutgers decided to host the conference they had planned—an event featuring a relatively incendiary position on what pro-Palestinian groups call the Israeli occupation—but they failed to follow university regulations and were forced to hold their splinter conference in a hotel.

Planners say the group is unified once again, though, and delegates who went to the Rutgers conference last year are back on the organizing committee for SEE PALESTINE ON PAGE 19

The Super Target off Highway 15-501 will reap the benefits of students arriving back at school.

Local businesses pick up with students’ return Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

by

Each August, Durham residents get visible reminders of Duke students’ arrival on campus—lines of overflowing minivans with New Jersey license plates, a mass of students at the local grocery store and an absence of parking spaces at shops off of East Campus. Many say the return of the roughly 10,000 students enrolled in Duke’s various schools and programs, as well as the parents and families who come for first-year student orientation, breathes much-needed energy and money into the local economy.

At Super Target off of Highway 15-501, store manager Nick Pence and his staff

were prepared for the increased spending and foot traffic driven by the return of students to Duke and the neighboring University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The store, which opened this past spring, was outfitted with rows of bright pink bean-bag chairs, flowered shower curtains, colorful hangers and hundreds of other items ranging from the essential to the accessory.

“We plan for about a 30 percent increase in business when [students] come back, and 40 percent for this week,” Pence said. “Futons are flying off the shelves.”

Kilgo renovations bring quad to meet codes Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

by

Debbie Palacios has learned the value of staying in one place. The senior is beginning her third year as a resident in Kilgo Quadrangle, and has recently set up shop—along with her roommate, Kimberly Buehring—in the largest room on West Campus, colloquially known as “the barn.” The approximately 405square-foot room stands out amongst other campus digs, but it is also an improvement over years past in Kilgo.

This summer, the University renovated Houses I and J, completing its threeyear renovation of Kilgo Quad. The residence halls are now air-conditioned, more accessible to handicapped people and environmentally certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition, the building has been altered to make it more livable; the rooms were made larger, the hallways cleaned, and new internal features such as well-lit mini-common spaces were added while the Gothic exterior remained unchanged.

The changes made to Kilgo this summer completed the quad’s update, which began in the summer of 2002 and continued during the summer of 2003.

Contractors only worked on the quad during the summer months in order to avoid taking the building offline during the school year. Kilgo is the first quad to be renovated; eventually, the University hopes to revamp all “the Gothics” in a similar way, said Eddie Hull, executive director of housing services and dean of residential life.

The renovation to Kilgo is part of a comprehensive effort to modernize dorms that had reflected the early days of

the University. The air conditioning and handicapped access are improvements which have long been sought. The Leadership in Energy and Engineering Design certification given by the USGBC makes

Kilgo the first residential quad at Duke to those environmental criteria, and the first residential renovation at any American university to bring dormitories up to LEED standards.

Though the meeting of environmental and other standards may be the most notable achievement to University administrators, students seem more enthused by the increased functionality of their living area.

“They like the fact that things are new, clean, and that they can get from one house to another without going outside,” said Chris Smith, the residence coordinator of Kilgo.

One aspect of the quad’s appeal to new residents is the pristine condition of their new digs. “You can tell that everything is new, and that it hasn’t been lived in,” said sophomore Alana Wrublin, who lives in House J. The renovations even influenced residents, including Palacios as well as sophomore roommates Jon Arnstein and Greg Rasor, who called the renovations “definitely a plus” in their decision to link together into Kilgo. Rasor added that the “air conditioning was probably the biggest factor.”

Palacios and Buehring are living in their palatial double—which prior to the summer changes had been a triple —and are appreciating the clean carpet and cool air in a dormitory so new even the trash closets meet

Center blends care techniques by .

THE CHRONICLE

Dawn Marshall suffers from undifferentiatedconnecdve dssue disorder. Symptoms range from chronic pain and swelling to extreme fatigue and sleep problems. The Duke employee is an active member of society but constandy feels ill. Convendonal medicine has not provided her an acceptable form of relief—Marshall believes prescribed medicines often have similar side effects to already existing symptoms. As a last resort, she turned to the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine for help.

Currendy located within the Duke Center for Living, the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine has offered a patient-centered approach to health care for the past four years. As an emerging field, integradve medicine combines the effectiveness ofconvendonal medicine with the benefits of carefully selected alternative therapies, including acupuncture, herbalism and meditadon. Together, clinicians treat the body as a whole rather than focusing on specific symptoms “I was seeking alternative means of care for problems that my primary care physicians were really not able to help me with,” Marshall said. ‘They tried, but have not been able to improve the quality of my life. Integradve medicine seems more natural.” With the care of doctors who have pioneered this form of medicine, Marshall’s pain has subsided Duke is a recognized leader in this type of health care, partly through the vision of former Chancellor for Health Affairs Dr. Ralph Snyderman. Always a proponent of prospective and personalized health care, Snyderman believes integrative medicine could be the cure for the depersonalization of health care.

“We currently spend $1.5 trillion a year on health care, but we aren’t getting our money’s worth,” Snyderman said in a statement included with DCIM’s publicity materials. “What has been missing in America is a health system designed to facilitate the ability of individuals to enhance their health by being more involved in their care and helping them focus on preventing those illnesses most likely to cause them great harm.”

And America seems to want a change. A 1998 study reported that 40 to 42 percent ofAmericans have tried alternative medicines in order to improve their health, and SEE MEDICINE ON PAGE 22

Community-based study confronts alcohol abuse Liana Wyler THE CHRONICLE

by

In the University’s most recent effort to curb high-risk drinking activities, Duke is reaching out to community members in order to discuss strategies to reduce alcoholrelated problems.

As one of 10 universities participating in a $3.2 million statewide research study conducted by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Duke is one offive universities developing an intervention program that will last from January 2004 to December 2006. The other five schools in the study with serve as comparison points.

‘The idea of this program is about involving and connecting students with the community,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta, who was involved with preparations for the Wake study to come to Duke. “I don’t think there’s any other way to deal with this.”

BIueSPARC, the Duke branch of the Wake project called the Study to Prevent Alcohol Related Consequences, is spearheaded by Campus-Community Organizer Claire Feldman-Riordan, whose mission is to develop a community-based approach to reduce college students’ high-risk alcohol use.

“It’s a really difficult situation. I hear so many people who are critical and upset about the alcohol policy on campus,” Feldman-Riordan said. “We need to look at this in a community-based, grassroots way to provide more options that make high-risk drinking less likely to occur.”

The study comes at a time when campus attention is focused on the tensions between students living off-campus and the Durham residents.

“I think the greatest challenge will be the process —getting groups to talk together who generally don’t have the chance to,” Feldman-Riordan said. “But I don’t see any reason why students and neighbors can’t work together to come up with some solution.”

As part of larger collaborative efforts between the Duke University and Durham Police Departments to curb off-campus drinking, BIueSPARC worked with neighbors during the first days of move-in period to distribute door hangers and welcome bags with cookies and a letter warning students ofalcohol-related rowdiness.

Senior Joe Kennedy lives in one of the houses targeted

by BIueSPARC’s welcome bag initiative. “It was nice. The cookies were good,” said Kennedy, who lives in “Blue House” on Markham Avenue with seven of his fellow lacrosse teammates. ‘They’re still going to call the cops on us. You obviously can’t have big parties with 200 people anymore. I don’t want to go to jail.”

Despite immediate positive responses from students and community members, University-neighborhood antagonism will continue to remain a challenge to the BIueSPARC initiative, Feldman-Riordan said, noting this past weekend’s onslaught of student arrests at off-campus parties.

“There’s been a whole history behind why there were so many police out,” she said. “Alcohol policies on campus changed, so students said they’re going to drink off campus. Neighbors said that’s not fair and that they’re going to call the police. The students still partied and the neighbors got really, really unhappy, criticizing the police. The

neighbors got pitted against the students. The police were pitted against everyone.

“The key to success will be a community-based approach—putting our heads together and figuring out strategies together,” Feldman-Riordan said.

To Durham resident Christina Headrick, the issue of college high-risk drinking goes beyond the loud music at 3 a.m. and students vomiting on neighborhood cars. She pointed to a recent statistic that states 70,000 cases of sexual assault and date rape involve alcohol each year, citing a 2002 report by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that summarizes data on college-age drinking research.

“For me it’s more than the trash and the noise from the parties,” said Headrick, who hosted a party for 40 people at her home last weekend. “I really think it’s a public health SEE BLUESPARC ON PAGE 25

by David Kirkpatrick NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Patrick Buchanan, the conservative Republican primary challenge and divisive convention speech weakened the first President Bush’s campaign for re-election in 1992, is publishing a book excoriating the second President Bush over the invasion of Iraq, just in time to grab a share of the limelight at another Republican convention.

Army plans to bolster

Ready, set, join!

training by

Thom Shanker

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

The chief of WASHINGTON, D.C. the Army Reserve has set in motion plans to reorganize training and strengthen leadership skills for reservists, after preliminary findings of an inquiry into abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

The findings described an inferior command climate and flaws in training that left some citizen soldiers ill-prepared for long-term duty in a combat zone.

The Reserve chief, Lt. Gen. James Helmly, described initial assessments made in the investigation, which he ordered after members of a reservist military police unit were photographed abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib. The new training will apply to all 205,000 Army reservists, most of whom serve in combat support and service roles, jobs like the military police, intelligence, logistics and transportation.

“Frankly, the development of leaders in the Army Reserve has not kept pace with the demands on leaders that we see today,” Helmly said Friday in an interview at the Pentagon. He spoke of the challenges facing the force as it seeks to maintain sufficient numbers to meet the anticipated extended deployments to Iraq. He also disclosed proposed incentive programs that are designed to entice reservists to continue to serve after their current commitments expire.

New York, protesters d sagree days before RNC NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

NEW YORK With just six days left before the largest planned demonstration at the Republican National Convention, organizers and the city have yet to reach an agreement on how to handle the masses of protesters, setting up the potential for confrontations with the police just as the Republican delegates arrive.

At a moment when city officials and the protest’s organizers, United for Peace and Justice, should be polishing the final details over the event next Sunday, they are instead locked in a court battle over the route of the march, which organizers say could draw 250,000 people.

The group itself is fractured over how to proceed, and many protesters are vowing'to use Central Park despite the vehement opposition of the city, which wants the rally to take place on the West Side Highway.

Adding to the uncertainty are the boiling tensions between Mayor Michael Bloomberg and officials and members of the police and firefighter unions, many of whom have been trailing him at his public events for weeks, threatening illegal strikes or other job actions just as the city struggles to deal with the protests and the convention.

The Bloomberg administration and convention officials have dismissed their conflicts with both groups as irrelevant to the success of the convention. Both the city and organizers of Sunday’s protest say they hope to come to terms before the demonstration.

“New York City has away of pulling things off,” said Edward Skyler, Bloomberg’s press secretary. “But if UPJ feels that marching past Madison Square Garden and having a rally off the Hudson River is such a tragic abuse of the First Amendment, then they have the option of not taking the city up on its offer.”

Nevertheless, the potential for embarrassing or even explosive confrontations between protesters and the administration is increasing as the start of the convention looms ever closer without the final arrangements being set. Some officials and protest organizers fear a repeat of the rally against the Iraq war in February 2003, when demonstrators and the police clashed, leading to hundreds of arrests, in large part because plans for the event were not completed until the last minute.

The situation has created a headache for Bloomberg, who is counting on a convention that will be good for the city’s image and will show the world how it has recovered from the Sept. 11 attack. Further, Bloomberg has to find a careful political balance between the tough labor stance he has taken with the uniformed officers and his desire to not inflame this group of city workers, who were lauded for their role after the terror attack.

But in recent days, many police officers have been

pushing the legal boundaries as they hector Bloomberg, infuriating many of the mayor’s closest aides.

Adding to the confusion is that many protesters getting ready to descend on the city do not know where their march is headed, leaving open the possibility that many small groups of demonstrators will wander about the city

on Central Park’s Great Lawn after a march, and it grew into a batde that pitted veteran leftist demonstrators against city officials, including a mayor whose love of Central Park led him to once sit on the board of the Central Park Conservancy and donate large sums of money to its cause.

After Bloomberg’s parks commissioner, Adrian Benepe, argued that such a large rally would destroy the grass and render the lawn unusable for the better part of the fall, the mayor flady rejected the group’s request. The city has been prickly about the lawn since its cosdy refurbishing in the late 19905.

The Bloomberg administration first suggested that the group hold its protest in Queens, which drew immediate accusations that the mayor was doing the Republican Party’s bidding by trying to keep demonstrators out of sight. Indeed, Bloomberg is politically torn between his Republican guests and the largely Democratic city where he will seek re-election next year.

or toward Central Park.

“I’m doing a lot of organizing and I have no idea as to what’s going on,” Jose Mardn, a protest organizer from Chicago, told a crowd of hundreds gathered Wednesday evening for a United for Peace and Justice planning meeting. If the park is off in the end, he said, “what the hell is the plan?” Leslie Cagan, the group’s national coordinator, conceded that essentially there was not one. “I’m sorry I don’t have a more thorough answer about this,” she said, “but that’s where we are.”

The conflict over the protest began a year ago, when United for Peace and Justice first solicited a permit to rally

Kerry ad blames Bush for veterans’ campaign by

Adam

Jim

Nagourney and Rutenberg NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Sen. John Kerry released a television advertisement Sunday blaming President George W. Bush for a campaign by a “front group” of veterans that Kerry said had smeared his Vietnam record, as he intensified his drive to gain control in a fight that Democrats said could undermine his campaign for the presidency.

Bush’s campaign denied any involvement with the effort by veterans challenging key portions of Kerry’s war record, and sent a letter to television station managers calling the advertisement libelous urging the stations to “insure that the record is clear.”

But at the same time, Bob Dole, the party’s 1996 presidential candidate and a World War II veteran, called on Kerry to apologize to Vietnam veterans in a television interview on CNN in which he appeared to give credence to some of the charges raised by the group.

“He’s got himself into this wicket now where he can’t extricate himself because not every one of these people can be Republican liars,” said Dole, whose right arm was left limp by a war injury. ‘There’s got to be some truth to the charges.”

And Dole also sought to put the focus as much on Kerry’s anti-war activities as on his own war record, noting testimony he had given to a congressional committee when he returned in Vietnam 30 years ago.

“I mean, one day he’s saying that we were shooting civilians, cutting off their ears, cutting off their heads, throwing away his medals or his ribbons,” Dole said. “The next day he’s standing there, T want to be president because I’m a Vietnam veteran.’”

PETER GEBHARD/THE CHRONICLE

Sen John Kerry speaks to supporters about his service in Vietnam at a Julyrally in Raleigh.

The exchanges came as aides to both camps said that this small-scale summer advertising campaign by a group ofVietnam veterans was setting the agenda of the presidential debate in the week leading into Bush’s nominating convention in New York City. And some Democrats close to Kerry said that they feared that the very thing that had lead the party to see him as its strongest challenger to Bush—his record as a decorated combat veteran in Vietnam —was now threatening to undermine his candidacy.

Kerry’s aides said this latest advertisement, as well as a speech he would give in New York Tuesday, was intended to move the debate away from a discussion about Kerry’s Vietnam service, and to focus it instead on what they contended was a histo-

ry of dirty tricks by Republicans around Bush and his father over the years. The Swift boat group got much of its initial financing from two men who have supported the political endeavors of the first and the current President Bush.

Kerry’s advisers had originally planned not to spend any money on advertising during August, but shifted gears last week in the face of concern voiced by Democrats outside the campaign that he was not moving aggressively enough to deal with this threat.

“Bush smeared John McCain four years ago,” the narrator says, referring to attacks by outside groups on McCain when he challenged Bush for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000. “Now, he’s doing it to John Kerry.”

“George Bush: Denounce the smear,”

the announcer says. “Get back to the issues. America deserves better.”

Bush’s advisers rejected the challenge, calling it a “false charge.” They said that Bush and his campaign had no connections with Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that has financed the advertisements, and whose members published a book that dispute major details of Kerry’s account of his war injuries in Vietnam.

“The ad is misleading—the ad wrongly states that the Bush campaign is associated with this campaign, which we’re not,” said Ken Mehlman, Bush’s campaign manager. “They have not presented any evidence and there is absolutely no evidence that the president is any way behind this. They have no plan for the future and they are unwilling to defend theirrecord of the past 20 years, so therefore they want to talk about what happened 35 years ago.”

Kerry’s advisers said they believed that voters would turn against Bush if they are convinced that he was behind what several described as unethical campaign behavior.

A senior Kerry adviser, Tad Devine, noted in an interview that there had been a number of instances over the years in which outside groups had run damaging advertisements against Democrats in races involving Bush and his father.

“When those connections are made in this campaign and are imputed to this president, it’s going to be a very bad thing for the president,” said Devine.

Bill Garrick, a Democratic strategist not involved in the presidential race, also said: “It may be voters presume there are two sides in this contest and one side is attacking the other and they blame Bush for the attacks.”

from page 6

the conference at Duke Even the group’s statements are completely unified.

Only two people —Sbaihat and Duke graduate student Rann Bar-on —can speak on behalf of PSM to the media, and they’ve both been working overtime to explain the group.

Most of the criticism has accused PSM of being a terrorist organization. But law enforcement authorities said they have found no connections between the group and any terrorist activity. Many news outlets as well as partisan groups have reported that PSM is the American branch of International Solidarity Movement, which U.S. authorities have linked to violent outfits in the Middle East. The connection between PSM and ISM, however, is at most an overlap of some goals and perhaps members.

“There is no link. We are two separate organizations,” Sbaihat said as the official spokesperson for PSM. As an individual, though, he supports ISM’s goals and its ability to recruit volunteers. On its website, ISM declares itself a non-violent movement aimed at increasing awareness of the land struggle in Israel. The movement does not condemn suicide bombings directly, even as it encourages nonviolentresistance to what it dubs Israeli occupation.

The ISM’s explanation of violence is what draws accusations of terrorism. “The Israeli government has long worked to crush peaceful resistance, making it very difficult for Palestinians to act nonviolently on a large scale,” the ISM website reads.

Action through withdrawal The Palestine Solidarity Movement, however, stays away from such language. Its official position on actions in the Middle East is to have no position. It condemns violence at every turn, but declines comment on the day to day events in Israel.

“As an organization of solidarity, it is not our position

Coffee may eventually be a to dictate what methods the Palestinians use,” Sbaihat target because the owners said. “But as an organization “As an organization of solidarare “major contributors” to Israel, Sbaihat said. So far in the United States, we use ity, it is not our position to no universities have agreed peaceful and non-violent to divest, but several churchmethods in the hope of enddictate what methods the ing the violence.” es and church groups have Palestinians use.”

The primary thrust of endorsed the divestment.

The group’s commitment right now the Israeli army, is currendy the main target. Eventually is to foster dialogue and education. the divestment efforts will extend to companies with “We think once we get to the people and explain the more tangential connections. For example, Starbuck’s case,” Sbaihat said, “we think we have a very strong case.”

WILDER from page 3 and look toward the future. It’ll be fun and challenging.”

For her part, Wilder, 42, has had plenty of challenges on her hands as director of the Annual Fund, coordinating with class reunion leaders and soliciting gifts from some of the school’s major donors to pile on to the Fund’s yearly goal—usually around $2O million. Shepard, who was also an internal hire when he stepped into his expanded position July 1, said Wilder’s role will expand in scope as she becomes the primary liaison for alumni but the “wonderful overlaps” from her previous experience will make this important transition seamless.

“I’m sort of working two jobs right now,” Wilder said, “but it’ll be good. It’s all sort ofcrazy, but good right now.”

The day after her appointment, in fact, she was busy —not accepting congratulations, but counseling freshmen as a premajor advisor. Wilder also doubles as an interviewer for the admissions office and will help coordinate President Richard Brod-

MAJDI from page 3 created an e-mail and instant messaging program called the Devil Daily as a central forum for information about what’s happening on campus.

Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli remarked on the strength of the programs Majdi developed last year when Majdi was communications coordinator for Campus Council. Vitarelli, whom Majdi beat out for the DSC presidency, said you “can’t beat Pasha’s energy 1eve1.... He’s a great relationship builder and has an incredible passion for Duke.”

But both Majdi and Duke have changed since he entered three years ago with less mature energy, as a self-described “fun and sociable, but also loud and obnoxious” chemistry major, uncertain what to expect stepping onto a campus he had never visited before. Many of the changes Majdi has seen since then in the Duke social scene are behind his drive to improve it during his presidency.

“My favorite thing about Duke freshman year was that it was a small school where socially everyone was welcomed everywhere,” he said. “You went to West Campus on Friday and Saturday night and

head’s Sept. 18 inauguration in her position as assistant university marshal.

Her father, Pelham Wilder, Jr., was the head university marshal for years and taught in the chemistry department for a half century, while Sterly and her brother were undergraduates in the Class of 1983 and 1973, respectively. Wilder’s nephew, Pelham Wilder, IV, is a senior at Duke who strolls campus with the same infectious presence as his aunt.

“Sterly is smart, capable and funny, but most extraordinary is her passion for Duke,” Brodhead said. Tve been impressed since I arrived here that everyone seems to know Sterly and love working with her.”

For a position that puts conferring with some powerful people at the forefront and has a hefty reputation behind it, Wilder’s personality helped her beat out over 30 other applicants and will cement a new top administration for Duke’s alumni and development offices.

“Nervous? Yeah!” Wilder exclaimed when asked if she might have cold feet in filling bigger shoes. “I’m nervous, but really excited.” all the doors were open.”

But now Majdi is disturbed by changes in the social scene catalyzed by stricter enforcement of both alcohol and fire policies. “I think somewhere between my freshman year and this year, Duke’s opinion changed on hundreds of people hanging out in a hallway on a Friday night.... I think [the changes are] going to have very negative repercussions on race relations, in particular, and it’s making the school a lot less fun.”

Majdi hopes that the implementation of programs like regular Friday weekend kickoff activities on the main quad should help to liven up a campus that he says has been “dull.” Majdi is also working with the administration to discuss the enforcement of the alcohol policy.

As Majdi enters his senior year, he credits Maxwell House as helping to define his own social experience at Duke and stresses the value of selective living groups as “absolutely incredible.”

Tve made my best friends for life,” he said. “Every single time the administration talks about developing a sense ofcommunity on campus and all these good things they want to foster and bring to Duke, we all just look at each other and we’re like, ‘Yeah we have that, and it’s great.’”

RANKINGS from page 1 One criticism that is leveled at U.S. News is that there are often significant changes in rankings over the course of a year while, as Guttentag noted, institutions don’t change that quickly. “What these rankings do tell you is what company this magazine thinks we keep,” he said.

Willis Stetson, dean of undergraduate admissions at the University of Pennsylvania, shared Guttentag’s opinion. “Clearly we did nothing significant in the last year that would have changed our position with Duke and MIT and Stanford,” he said. “I don’t think the difference of one place means a great deal to the public.

The precision of the rankings is not as im-

MERCHANTS from page 6 $25.7 billion in back-to-college shopping, with the average freshman planning to spend $1,205.97. And while many students say they plan to shop at traditional destinations—college bookstores and discount stores like Super Target—others will hit up local shops for college merchandise.

One such store is the Duck Shop on Ninth Street, a natural hot-spot for its variety of Blue Devil-themed apparel. Employees have been dishing out tips and area di-

rections with the Duke sweatshirts and flip-flops many parents have been buying, store manager Virginia Rhoton said.

‘We have been really busy this past week,” Rhoton said. ‘They started coming Tuesday. We know when the students move in we’re going to be busy.”

Across the street, the Regulator Bookshop was also seeing an upswing in patronage.

“It’s great, but we have to speak loud because they all have iPods,” joked John Valentine, one of the store’s owners.

Valentine reported that the store, which features the textbooks for 120 of Duke’s fall courses as well as a cafe, was selling dozens of area maps and postcards. “Mom and dad come down in the SUV and they’re lost,” he said.

Area hotels saw increased occupancy as parents booked rooms for move-in. The Washington Duke Inn started taking reser-

portent as being in that top group.”

The Princeton Review also released its rankings of the nation’s top universities last week. Duke is ranked as the ninth toughest school to get into as well as a “jock school” and a place where “students pack the stadiums.” Duke also made the lists of schools where there is little race/class interaction and where relations with the town are strained.

Larry Monete, vice president for student affairs, noted that most administrators give little weight to the Princeton Review rankings. “Sure, we all want to come out as high as we can, but few believe that complex institutions like ours can be differentiated so easily on the basis of a simple numerical ranking,” he said.

Kelly Rohrs contributed to this story.

vations for Orientation Week in March, before many new students even knew they had been accepted.

“We were sold out Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Jim Bressler, director of sales and marketing for the on-campus hotel. ‘Those two days are one of our four big [times] of the year. We are totally and have always been full.”

Bressler said the hotel worked especially hard to be accommodating and appealing to its guests as it tries to impart a “home away from home” feeling, particularly for new Duke parents. He added that many made reservations for Parents’ Weekend and that the hotel is already fully booked for the October event.

Brian McGhee, general manager for the Hilton Hotel of Durham, said some ofhis hotel’s guests also made return bookings.

The Hilton was nearly full during the orientation period, he said.

“We can certainly tell from a business level that school’s back in session,” McGhee said. “It’s been that way for the last two weeks.”

While some local residents may bemoan the off-campus parties, the increased traffic and the general flurry of activity on Duke’s campus, many see the return of students as a fiscal—and psychological—boost to Durham.

“There are a lot more people walking around [near] dinner time,” Valentine said. “It’s an exciting time; it’s re-ener-

gizing.”

Thompson, dean of Trinity College, moderated the panels and gave encouraging advice to the audience.

“Undergraduate education at Duke is not a spectator sport,” Thompson said, urging freshmen to seek out faculty mentors and to be open to growth and change.

Freshman Jennifer Windh listened attentively to Thompson’s advice. She said she thought Mountains Beyond Mountains was a good selection for the summer reading program, which started with the Class of 2006.

“I thought it was kind of overwhelming in the sense that Farmer was such a great role model,” she said. “It shows a lot about what Duke students can accomplish.”

Assistant Dean ofStudents Ryan Lombardi and a committee of 10 students, faculty members and administrators selected the book

from roughly 40 nominations gathered last fall. Senior Josh Alien-Dicker and Associate Dean Kacie Wallace both nominated the book, which the committee selected unanimously from seven finalists.

Farmer, a 1982 graduate, is currently a professor of medical anthropology in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and chief of the Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

Farmer began his work outside the realms ofAmerican medicine and academia. He established a health program in Haiti, has worked on health care issues in Peru and is currently working to improve health care in Russian prisons.

“It shows that you have other options,” said Chelsea Salyer, a first-year student.

THE CHRONICLE

MEDICINE from page 12 91 percent of physicians acknowledged that patients have mentioned that they use or have considered using alternative therapies. Linda Smith, director of programs at DCIM, noted that people are also spending more money on alternative approaches than on conventional medicine. ‘The public is saying that they want to learn from the best of both worlds,” Smith said.

DCIM Director Tracy Gaudet believes alternative medicines are often more effective than conventional medicines—especially in areas like chronic pain, which Gaudet feels are not addressed well by conventional medicine.

‘The therapy [of alternative medicines] is less invasive and less costly. The potential benefit is effective treatment without as much risk and as much cost,” Gaudet said.

But even with the demand for alternative approaches, one stigma integrative medicine must first overcome is patient and professional skepticism about its effectiveness.

“I did have a healthy skepticism,” Marshall said. “I was concerned it would be too far out there, or too new age. I thought they would work with all natural methods and not integrate with convendonal medicines. I think Duke has done a good job at integrating the normal medicine with the integrative side. I was concerned that that was not going to be the case.”

And clinicians have diligently worked to create a balanced treatment. Gaudet said that doctors often help patients sort through what medicines they currently are taking. She added that “most people leave here taking less self-prescribed medications and supplements.”

Before the patient even arrives for his first appointment, a doctor asks him to fill

out a health questionnaire, which includes questions about spirituality and health history and is designed to sort through the needs of the patient. “It is surprising that some patients have never thought about their spiritual side before,” Gaudet said.

The typical first appointment lasts about an hour and involves some diagnostic testing as the doctor begins to understand the patient and his illness. The doctor also introduces the “Wheel of Health”—a wheel with wedges of the different aspects of health, which help patients visualize problem areas.

“If the patient is just interested in maybe one thing, we will respond to that interest,” Smith said. “Other patients want a more comprehensive look at the multiplicity of symptoms and health history and preventing further risk of complications down the road.”

After specialists and a multidisciplinary team review the case, follow-up appointments involve the creation of a customized wellness plan.

“My doctor went over issues and concerns of why I was there that day,” Marshall said. ‘The doctor made recommendations on my health plan. It was easy to follow and included short-term goals and longterm goals—all of which I had a say on.”

Each patient then chooses a plan that involves one to four follow-up appointments and a personal wellness coach who checks in with the patient via e-mail to verify that the personal plan is working.

Integrative health is only becoming more popular. Some insurance plans now cover alternative medicines, and Duke has even offered a plan to its employees that includes integrative medicine.

With educational classes for health professionals, conferences and a new building specifically designed for integrative medicine, Duke’s Center for Integrative Medicine seems poised for the future.

Senior Rob Liebert, now entering his second year on Central, is among many undergraduate residents of Central who deem full-time quiet an unrealistic ex-

pectation.

“Its understood on Central that the weekends are going to be loud,” Liebert said. “There’s an understanding [about the noise level], so people don’t really

complain.”

The widespread acceptance of weekend noise reflects a residential trend. In

The late evening robbery occurred on the first weekend DUPD began to exercise its extended jurisdiction in the neighborhoods around East Campus. Police presence on campus and in the area near East was also heightened due to the typically rowdy parties students throw at the beginning of the year.

A mobile Durham Police Department substation was also parked on Buchanan Street behind Epworth Dormitory, and teams of Duke and Durham officers patrolled the area regularly.

Cooper emphasized that DUPD’s presence off campus did not translate to insufficient patrols on Central.

“You can’t say that having a police officer everywhere on campus would prevent every crime,” she said. “There’s

crunch and the requirement for all sophomores to live on West Campus has pushed many unaffiliated undergraduate males to Central. But a move to Central does not change social habits, and the disparate policies are frustrating to those who wish they could be loud.

“With a shortage of beds on West, some students who wanted a social residential experience are being denied that,” Vitarelli said.

Despite their opposing views on policy recommendations, both Hull and Vitarelli acknowledged that Central’s architectural constraints mean a significant amount of time will pass before the issue may be seriously re-approached.

Paul Crowley contributed to this story. never 100 percent safety. There’s always a criminal out there.”

Several armed robberies occurred on campus last year. In November 2003 a student reported that he was robbed at the ATM in the Bryan Center; another student was allegedly robbed at gunpoint on Erwin Road the same week. Last April a student reported being held up at knifepoint at the comer of Erwin Road and Anderson Street.

In the wake of those incidents, the University instituted several new safety measures, including additional security patrols on campus.

“What we’re trying to do is raise people’s awareness of what it means to be safe and taking some personal security measures and also contacting us if you see anything suspicious in the area or any suspicious activity,” Cooper said.

Such an operation would anger Shiites across the country and could turn them against the new government as it tries to gain legitimacy and tackle a 16-monthold insurgency In the Anbar province, the heart of the Sunni insurgency, four U.S. Marines with the Ist Marine Expeditionary Force were killed in separate incidents, the military announced Sunday.

One Marine was killed in action Saturday and two others died Saturday of wounds received while conducting “security and stability operations” in the province, the military said. Another Marine was killed Saturday when his Humvee flipped tants loyal to radical

A roadside bomb attack Sunday targeting a U.S. military convoy outside the northern city of Mosul killed one U.S. soldier assigned to Task Force Olympia and wounded another, the military said. The injured soldier was in stable condition.

As of Friday, 949 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq in March 2003, according to the U.S. Defense Department.

Late Sunday, U.S. journalist Micah Garen, who was kidnapped Aug. 13 in the southern city of Nasiriyah, was released along with his Iraqi translator at al-Sadr’s offices there after the cleric’s aides appealed for his freedom.

Garen and his translator, Amir Doushi, were walking through a market when two armed men in civilian clothes seized them,

The administration asserts that the new regulations are needed to replace vague, outmoded rules that have spurred many lawsuits as employers and employees tussle over which workers are exempt. The administration argues that the overtime rules are clearer, will be easier to enforce and will reduce expensive litigation.

“We view this as a step in the right direction for bringing clarity and certainty to this area of the law so there can be greater compliance,” said Alfred Robinson, director of the Labor Department’s wage and hour division. “And that’s good for employers and employees.”

Critics of the new rules say they are another example of the Bush administration’s taking regulatory steps that please businesses, which have lobbied for years to revamp the overtime regulations.

In a brief interview with the pan-Arab television station Al-Jazeera after his release, Garen thanked al-Sadr’s representatives for their work, which included an appeal to the kidnappers during Friday prayers.

Sheik Aws al-Khafaji, an al-Sadr aide, said the kidnappers mistakenly had thought Garen was working for the U.S. intelligence services “The kidnappers listened to the call that we made during Friday prayers, and they contacted us and we asked them to bring him to [al-Sadr’s] office and promised that no one would pursue them,” alKhafaji said.

In Najaf, U.S. tanks rumbled down deserted streets Sunday, while sporadic gunfire filled the air. The roads leading to the shrine were muddied and filled with chunks of concrete ripped from the

The Economic Policy Institute, a liberal research group, has issued a report, which many Democrats have relied on, concluding that the rules will exempt about six million workers from overtime coverage. Among those, the institute said, are 1.4 million low-level supervisors, 130,000 chefs and sous-chefs and 900,000 workers with graduate or college degrees who will now be considered

professional employees.

Michael Eastman, director of labor law policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said companies were not seizing on the new rules to try to deny overtime pay to many workers. He praised the administration’s efforts, saying the regulations were sorely in need of an overhaul.

“It’s a very easy issue to demagogue and to frighten people with claims that the worst will happen,’’ Eastman said. “It’s taken a lot of courage for this administration to take this kind of unwarranted criticism from labor unions and other opponents.”

Overtime, which is governed by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, is a complicated area of law. Senior managers do not qualify for overtime pay when they

streets. Black smoke trailed from a build-

ing, as the clatter of automatic gunfire rang out In the afternoon a fierce battle between the military and al-Sadr’s militants broke out when insurgents launched a mortar barrage at U.S. troops, witnesses said. Calm returned to the city after about half an hour. U.S. forces sealed off the Old City, the center of the more than two weeks of fighting here, restoring a cordon that had been loosened in recent days.

Several mortar attacks targeted police offices in the city, but no one was injured, officials said. Early Sunday, U.S. warplanes bombed the Old City and the sounds of shelling could be heard in the streets, witnesses said.

The U.S. military said it could not confirm the bombing. At least three people were killed and 18 injured during overnight fighting, said Tawfiq Mohammed of Najaf General Hospital.

work more than 40 hours, but the more difficult questions involve whether low-level, salaried supervisors should be viewed as managers who do not qualify for overtime or as workers who do.

The new rules set forth criteria, like what responsibilities supervisors have and whether they have the power to hire and fire, to determine who is eligible.The rules largely exempt workers earning more than $lOO,OOO from overtime pay, although those with union contracts calling for overtime will continue to be eligible.

Three former Labor Department officials under President Bill Clinton and the first President Bush concluded in a report that the regulations would hurt American workers. The AFL-CIO financed their study, but the three authors, led by John Fraser, former director of the wage and hour division, insisted that they were independent.

Fraser called the rules ”a very big deal. Their report said that but for a provision involving very low-paid supervisors, every change the Labor Department made had expanded the reach and scope of rules that exempted workers from overtime coverage.

Executive MBA Program Links Duke and Frankfurt University Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and Frankfurt University’s Goethe Business School signed an agreement July 21, creating a dual-degree—a 22-month executive MBA program. The Duke Goethe Executive MBA program will begin in May 2005 with an anticipated class of 45 to 60 students predominantly from Germany and surrounding countries.

Except for two week-long blocks of classroom instruction at the Duke campus, classes will be held mainly at Frankfurt University, with Duke faculty initially teaching two-thirds of the courses. Upon graduation, the students will have earned both a Duke MBA and a Goethe MBA. "Given Frankfurt's fine reputation in Germany, especially in finance and economics, we believe it is an excellent partner for us,” said Fuqua Dean Douglas Breeden. “Together we will offer working professionals an innovative educational experience that combines

Since Sept. 11, 2001, and the ensuing war on terrorism, professors and community members alike have voiced concern about an increased crackdown on controversial thought in the realm of academia.

In an interview, however, Buchanan said publishing a book during the campaign was the best way he knew to inject what he considers important ideas into the debate. “The reason I wanted it out now is, it addresses big issues that are not being addressed in this campaign: the

Although the BIueSPARC initiatives will bring issues of parties and drinking to the forefront for the next couple of years,, students, neighbors and administrators all recognize that changing college social habits is a longer-term project.

PARTIES

from page 1

Durham Police Department officers patrolled the area all weekend, and between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. —prime party time—squad cars cruised by the houses every two minutes.

Residents and police are still searching for ways to control the parties off East Campus, which have been mobbed in the past two years as the University has tightened enforcement of its alcohol policy.

“In years past, I’ve seen kids migrate to Ninth Street,” said DUPD Lt. Jeff Best, who was on patrol offEast Saturday night.

“Recently these houses have become a magnet for kids Many residents noted that despite the large crowds, students throwing parties seemed more aware of the neighbors than in years past. Several neighbors said students had contacted them before throwing parties and many students prompdy cleaned up after their late-night gatherings.

Last year Duke students and neighbors clashed over the raucous and expansive parties. Neighbors complained about noise, trash strewn through the streets and delinquent behavior from drunken students.

This year, their complaints were similar, but their frustration focused on the general disrespect that students showed the residents. Several neighbors called the police Friday night when music and chatter from the parties kept them awake. But the intense noise started as students loudly stumbled back to East.

Jen Minnelli, who lives on Buchanan Street, said she came out of her home to remind students to be quiet because her twoyear-old daughter was sleeping. She said the students sneered back at her and then one student told the mom, who is eight months pregnant, “Shut your mouth, b—h.”

Residents say such behavior is typical.

Dan Morgan, who lives on Watts Street, said when he meets students during the day “they’re the nicest guys in the world.” ”

When they start drinking, however, he said they become belligerent.

Neighbors’ growing frustration is beginning to focus on the landlords who rent to Duke students.

‘There are two bottom lines,” said Joan Austin, a Watts Street resident. “Duke won’t letanyone drink on campus, and these houses are rented to seniors in fraternities. That’s a deadly combination.”

Police, who were out in full force all weekend, were quick to break up events once neighbors called authorities. They made several arrests for underage drinking and for possession of a fake identification.

MaJ. Phyllis Cooper, a spokesperson for DUPD, said official numbers would not be available until Monday at the earliest.

Some students, however, found ways to curb disruption to the neighbors. Saturday night a party thrown by members ofSigma Nu fraternity at 706 Buchanan St., known to students as “Halfway House,” went well into the night. Junior Jay McKenna, president ofSigma Nu, said the hosts had hired bouncers from a nearby restaurant and made efforts to control the soiree.

All evening several men stood outside the house periodically yelling at loitering students, “Get inside or get out!”

“I don’t think things are that different from last year,” McKenna said. ‘The police are still going to be out there and we’re still going to be doing what we want to do.”

He noted that no neighbors complained Saturday night, but Sunday morning the Trinity Park neighborhood e-mail list was abuzz with complaints about the trashed yards and the “morning after party stench” on the 700-block ofBuchanan.

Ellen Dagenhart, a realtor and Trinity Park resident, noted that the parties made it difficult for her to do her job.

“It’s a pain in the butt to go try to sell houses and represent Trinity Park as a place to raise a family when there is garbage and throw-up in the front yards,” she said.

I ,ikp what’s

It’s

the half-million dollar question: why did our University purchase 1,650 iPods and give them to incoming freshmen free of charge?

A lot of explanations have been offered. Provost Lange calls the iPods “an exciting new component of Duke’s strategic plan,” the Vice President ofInformation Technology says they will motivate students to “think creatively,” and GIT Director Lynne O’Brien has speculated that the iPods “will encourage faculty to experiment with adding elements such as music, foreign language and poetry to class curricula.” Specifically mentioned uses include lectures on tape, recorded course material and language lessons.

The reasons given are not bad ones, but it would be a stretch to say they justify such a major expenditure. After all, calculators, tape recorders and laptops certainly have as much academic value as iPods, yet Duke gives none of these to students for free.

So why did the Class of 2008 receive free iPods? The real reason might explain a bizarre news story that put Duke in the national spodight last spring.

On April 19, an Associated Press piece entided “Duke Tries to Aid Sleep-Deprived Students” ran in dozens of newspapers around the world. The story reported Duke’s canceling of 8 a.m. classes and said the University was trying to help “sleep-deprived” students who “too often are struggling to survive on a mix of caffeine, adrenaline and ambition.” It then quoted several Duke administrators expressing concern with the lack of sleep American college students typically get. ‘They begin to get into a pattern of sleeping four to five hours,” remarked one. ‘They’re coming in to see us, and they’re ragged,” said another.

The report, which ended up on CNN, continued to portray Duke’s scheduling shift a as a boldinitiative taken Iks in response to the problem of sleep depravity.

Then, hallway through, it completely shifted Nathan Carleton gears and revealed that Feelin Froggish? Leap the changes in scheduling didn’t make the problem better, but actually made it worse by moving much more common 9:10 a.m. classes to times as early as 8:30 a.m. The piece concluded with Vice Provost Judith Ruderman scoffing at the very problem Duke was claiming to be so concerned about: ‘“We’re going to have a lot of grumbling next fall when the reality sets in,’ Ruderman said. ‘But you know what? They’re resourceful and they’ll manage.’ Ruderman’s advice to her sleepwalking students?

Take an afternoon nap.”

The situation looked absurd. It appeared that Duke had canceled a set ofclasses that almost no one takes, made the rest of their classes start earlier, and then ran to national reporters to say that the schedule changes were motivated by a deep concern with students not sleeping enough.

In reality, Duke was not quite that exploitive. As the University quickly pointed out, it had not approached the Associated Press for the story, the Associated Press had instead picked up a (Raleigh) News & Observer piece about Duke’s research on sleep depravation and incorrectly made the canceling of 8 a.m. classes the headline and main focus of it. \fet even taking that into account, the News and Observer story itself oddly implied that Duke’s new scheduling plan was a response to the supposed sleep depravation problem. Clearly, administrators wanted their cancellation of early classes reported.

The link between the sleep story and the iPod giveaway comes down to one word: publicity. University administrators want to attract the best and brightest students to Duke and so they no doubt seek national press coverage depicting Duke as revolutionary and hip. It’s unlikely anyone is actively plotting publicity stunts of zero educational value, but it is likely that some decisions are made with a heavy consideration ofnewsworthiness. iPods truly may help Duke freshmen learn more efficiendy this year, but they will have an even greater effect on the high school students trying to decide between Harvard and the almost-as-highly-ranked school in North Carolina where the students receive free iPods and get to sleep in.

My money says this is no accident.

FDR THE LOVE OF THE GAME Despite low pay and visibility, 'O3 graduate Kevin Cassese stars in S upstart lacrosse league.

From Duke Blue to varsity blues Goldsmith excels as high school coach by

Robert Samuel THE CHRONICLE

When Franklin High School head football coach Mark Leek unexpectedly left for an administrative position in Hyattsville, N.C., in the spring of 2001, the athletic department went through its usual process of advertising the position. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until a man named Fred applied for the job.

In a resume that included the 1992 Sports Illustrated National NCAA Football Coach of the Year and the 1994 Bobby Dodd Award for National Coach of the Year for NCAA Division I football, former Duke head football coach Fred Goldsmith easily landed the job for the AAA North Carolina high school. Just six years earlier Goldsmith was turning down head coaching offers from Miami, Oklahoma and LSU. How did a man known for his brilliant defensive tactics go from turning down college football’s giants to seeking a job at a high school of which few outside the 828 area code had ever heard?

The first answer Goldsmith will give to that question is that, although he was perceived as a gray-haired tough guy of the old stock, the former Blue Devil coach was naive in the spring of 1995. Goldsmithhad just led Duke to an 8-4 season and a trip to the Hall-of-Fame Bowl in his initial run through the ACC. Goldsmith thought Durham was the place he wanted to be and that the winning would continue.

But the Blue Devils only finished 5-8 (17 in the ACC) the following season, and fell further into the ACC cellar by going 0-11 (0-8) in 1996, 2-9 (0-8) the following year and 4-7 (2-6) in 1998 before Duke fired him after the last game of the 1998 season.

“My transition to the ACC wasn’t that tough because the conference wasn’t all that strong [in 1994],” Goldsmith said. “I thought I could recruit just based on the strength of Duke University. But the University of Virginia, GeorgiaTech and North Carolina all lowered their academic stan-

dard for their football players. The money poured into [other ACC schools] was unbelievable. I didn’trealize the commitment these guys were making. That caught up to me. At the time we could have asked for more; I didn’trealize how much to ask for.”

In addition to his problems on the field, Goldsmith found himself in a public-relations nightmare when Heather Sue Mercer tried out for the 1994squad. Mercer made the team, but Goldsmith placed her on the inactive roster and forbade her from dressing out for games. Although Mercer was an All-State kicker in high school, Goldsmith was accused of making inappropriate comments to Mercer. On one such occasion, Goldsmith was heard to suggest that Mercer “sit in the stands with her boyfriend.”

Mercer sued the University for discrimination and eventually won her case although it was later overruled.

Goldsmith, slow to speak about the unpleasant time, only added, “That lawsuit

sure didn’t help me.”

After the disappointing and tumultuous years in Durham, Goldsmith decided to retire from coaching football. He and his wife, Pam Goldsmith, chose to settle down in a vacation home they owned in her hometown of Franklin.

After Goldsmith left Durham, he believed the stresses of coaching football were behind him. He spent the 1999 and 2000 seasons doing color commentary for Western Carolina football games, a job he very much enjoyed.

“You never lose when you’re calling a game,” Goldsmith joked.

But his competitive fire never completely diminished, so when the Franklin High position became available Goldsmith did not hesitate to apply.

“His resume spoke for itself,” Franklin athletic director Doug Plemmons said.

Goldsmith’s ample experience quickly paid off for Franklin. The school has gone 29-7 in his first three years as head coach, including a conference-winning 11-2 season in 2001 when Goldsmith was named Western North Carolina coach of the year.

The community has responded to the team’s success, often packing the stadium by 6 for 7:30 p.m. games. The school has even purchased new concession stands to SEE GOLDSMITH ON PAGE 7

from 1948-1952,and he was inducted into the Duke Sports Hall of Fame in its first class. Still, most current Duke undergraduates have never heard of him. His name is Dick Groat, and he is the greatest allaround athlete in Duke history.

Born Richard Morrow Groat in November 1930, Dick Groat starred in both baseball and basketball at Duke. Although he would go on to a brilliant career as a baseball player, the Swissvale, Penn., native was actually more talented on the hardwood than he was on the diamond.

“I still consider myself a retired basketball player,” Groat said. “The game [of basketball] was my first love. It is probably because the game came a lot easier to me.

Baseball was work, but basketball was always fun and the drawbacks I had in baseball did not exist in basketball.”

Even at the age of 73, Groat continues to immerse himself in the sporting world.

He owns and operates the. Champion Lakes GolfCourse in Bolivar, Penn., which is approximately two miles from where he grew up and currently lives. Groat waives the $3O greens fee for any current or former professional baseball player who wants to test the links.

Like he did playing two sports in his 20s, Groat remains active in two sports 50 years later. During the fall and winter, Groat is a radio commentator for University of Pittsburgh basketball games,

Dick Groat set the Duke single-season scoring record in his sophomore year with 831 points. and this upcoming season will be his 26th at the mic.

Sitting courtside, Groat recalls memories of when he ruled the hallowed grounds of Cameron Indoor Stadium and won National Player of the Year in 1952 becoming the first of eight Blue Devils to —

win the award. His 831 total points in his junior season would remain the Duke single-season record until eclipsed by Duke’s last National Player of the Year Jason Williams nearly 50 years later, and that was before the advent of the shot clock, Groat was so good that he was signed to

play professional basketball by the Ft. Wayne Pistons when he was finishing up his degree. In the fall of 1952 Groat flew back and forth between Durham and wherever the Pistons were playing. The biggest problem for Groat was that Duke students who missed more than three classes in a semester automatically failed the class.

“I had taken my three cuts,” Groat said. “I called the Pistons and told them that I was going to have to stop playing.

If I didn’t graduate, my father would have killed me.”

As a collegiate baseball player, Groat began his winning ways that would continue throughout his major league career. In 1952, with Duke ranked number one for the second consecutive year, school administrators allowed the team to play in the College World Series because it was distinguished manager Jack Coombs’ final season. The day after Duke was eliminated, Groat signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates for $25,000.

“I flew into Pittsburgh Sunday, watched Tuesday, and played Wednesday,” Groat said. “It took time to get adjusted and it was a lot of fun to make a living playing a game I loved.”

Groat’s professional basketball career was over after 1952, as Pirates general manager Branch Rickey forced Groat to dedicate himself to baseball.

His former teammates, with whom Groat still remains close, were glad he stuck with baseball.

“I was fortunate enough to room together with Dick,” former Pirates outfielder Bill Virdon said. “In the 50 years I’ve SEE GROAT ON PAGE 6

Few fans, little glory, but Cassese excels for Rochester in pro lax league Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

by

MONTCLAIR,

NJ.

August

7 is a stereotypical New Jersey day—cold, overcast, and raining.

On this day, a few hundred people brave the ominous skies and make the trek into the heart of suburban New Jersey—Montclair State University—to witness the hometown New Jersey Pride take on the visiting Rochester (N.Y) Rattlers in the penultimate matchup of the Major League Lacrosse season.

They are drawn to this tiny outpost of the sporting world for a variety of reasons. Many are friends and families of the players, and many are members of various junior and high school teams. Some are attracted by the low ticket prices, ($lO for individual games, $5 per game for season tickets) and others are tempted by the free T-shirt and cap giveaways that accompany each contest.

It is at this frontier of sport where Kevin Cassese competes.

From 1999-2003, Cassese established himself as one of Duke’s all-time greats. He made such an impact on the lacrosse program that Locker No. 22 remained empty throughout the 2004 season, a tribute to all that the Port Jefferson, N.Y, native had contributed to the school.

The three-time All-American

of

and All-ACC player was twice a finalist for the Tewaaraton Trophy, lacrosse’s equivalent of the Heisman, and finished 24th on Duke’s all-time points list, a significant accomplishment for a midfielder.

Cassese was drafted second overall in the 2003 MLL draft by the Rochester Rattlers, and has since devoted four months each year to the MLL season. The pay isn’t great, and in the off-season Cassese supplements his income by working for Brine, the nation’s premier lacrosse company, as well as working the Long Island lacrosse camp circuit.

On this day, Cassese’s Rattlers need a win to remain in the playoff hunt. Although a win against the 1-11 Pride does not seem to be a tall order, the Rattlers struggle in the first half and trail 8-7 going into the locker room. Cassese keeps the game close by scoring two game-tying goals.

In the second half the Rattlers refocus and pull away with a seven-goal run to open the half.

Cassese doesn’t score, but still finds ways to contribute with his toughness. He gets blindsided right in front of the goal during the Rochester run, drawing a penalty that results in a power play and another Rattler goal. In the fourth quarter, when a New Jersey player takes out his frustration by picking a fight with his op-

informatio

ponent, Cassese jumps in to the skirmish to protect his teammate.

The Rattlers win 21-11 and after the game Rochester coach BJ. O’Hara praised the gritty twoway play of his star midfielder.

“Kevin is perfect for this league because he does so many things,” O’Hara said. “He’s a great athlete, and faces off well a great offensive player and a great defensive player. When you’re only dressing 18 guys a guy like Kevin is invaluable.”

The casual observer would likely question Cassese’s career decision. Why take this exhausting part time job when you could be doing something much less grueling and much more profitable?

To Cassese though, the more important question is: “why not?”

“This is the sport I love, and I’ve been playing since second grade,” Cassese said. ‘This league might be part time, but it’s away to keep playing and stay in the sport you love. It’s really a nobrainer for me.”

Cassese might be an even better player in the pros than he ever was at Duke, despite having to adjust to the increased speed and talent level.

McCain hopes Open

will propel career by

Chrissie Gorman THE CHRONICLE

As the mid-April sunlight fades from the Charleston, S.C. evening sky, the artificial lights of the Family Circle Cup direct all attention to the match on center court. There Serena Williams, 5foot-10, 145 pounds, one of the most well-known and publicized players in the world, is facing Kelly McCain, a 5foot-2, 110-pound first-year professional with the nickname “LiF One.” First set: 6-1, Williams. Second set: 60, Williams. Kelly McCain is certainly not in Durham anymore.

A little more than four months later, McCain, who turned pro after her sophomore year at Duke, is even further removed from Ambler Tennis Center. What would be a year of independence from the constraints of West or Central Campus as a senior is instead beginning with a trip to the U.S. Open for McCain Aug. 30 in New York.

After a sophomore season that included a No. 1 national singles ranking, McCain had established a 67-11 singles record as a Blue Devil and attained the credentials to make a run at professional tennis.

“Having won one of the Grand Slam tournaments [the 2002 ITA Riviera AllAmerican], Kelly didn’t want her best tennis to be behind her,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “I knew we wouldn’t have her for four years.”

McCain has always measured her success in titles and rankings. A Florida state championship with her team at Saddlebrook Academy, the No. 1 singles slot as a Duke freshman and that college Grand Slam tide, which propelled McCain in her decision to turn pro, were all marks of her tennis success.

Now, as she prepares to play the U.S. Open, a title will no longer determine success.

“If Kelly were to go to the U.S. Open and win three matches and then lose, that is a great, great tournament,” Ashworth said.

Although turning pro was always a goal of McCain’s, the transition has not been easy. She made a strong debut on the USTA Pro Circuit with a quick sweep of the $lO,OOO event in Eugene, Ore., but McCain has also had to cope with losing, albeit in some of the top

professional tournaments.

“It’s definitely a learning process,” McCain said. “At this level everyone is so good. It’s just a matter of believing you can do it.”

The jump from college athletics to the professional ranks is sometimes perceived as glamorous in large market sports such as basketball, but in tennis, jumping straight to the U.S. Open stage is not an option. Success only comes through slowly working up the ladder in smaller tournaments.

“It’s going to take two to three years to make money,” Ashworth said. “[McCain] is right on that line right now.”

Instead of receiving alluring shoe endorsements and big signing bonuses, McCain has struggled with the little things—such as travel, stringing rackets and scheduling practice—which were all arranged for her as a Blue Devil.

Now, McCain’s support comes from her family. Her uncle acts as her financial backer and her father as her coach.

“In college, you don’t have to think about everything,” McCain said. “Now I have to worry about money and travel.

You’re never flying round-trip. It’s hard with all the change fees and such.”

THOMAS E.WITTE/ICON

With a year and a half of professional experience, McCain is still close to her Duke roots. Her relationship with Ashworth has evolved into a supporting friendship kept strong by Instant Messenger conversations because McCain usually travels three weeks a month and trains a fourth week near her home in Tampa, Fla. Fellow former Blue Devil Ansley Cargill will be joining McCain at the U.S. Open this month if she advances through the singles qualifying rounds.

“I know some of our past players will be in New York [for the US Open],” Ashworth said. “When you have a couple of players out there, you can still carry that family atmosphere with you.”

And just as the her collegiate Grand Slam victory at Riviera propelled her jump to the pros, a strong showing later this month in New York could be an equally critical next step.

Since graduating from Duke 10 years ago, Jason Kreis has gone on to have success at the professional level playing for the Dallas Burn.

When Jason Kreis scored his 89th career goal and broke the alltime scoring record in Major League Soccer history, the former Duke All-American and current Dallas Burn forward had mixed emotions. On the one hand Kreis was at an all-time high because he had reached the pinnacle of his career; on the other hand, Kreis realized that the league is only eight years old, and that it is only a matter of time before someone else breaks his mark.

“I had lots of feelings,” Kreis said. “It was something I had been waiting a long time to do. I was getting close when I tore my ACL last year and had to wait a long time to accomplish the feat, but I never thought it was that big a deal. It’s a temporary record, somebody will break it eventually.”

Born in Louisiana and raised in Nebraska, Kreis was not exactly in the spotlight coming out of high school, let alone on the top ofevery coach’s recruiting list. For that Kreis is still grateful that head coach John Rennie gave him the opportunity.

“Coach Rennie really found

me,” Kreis said. “It was a real leap of faith for him to take me in. If not for Coach Rennie I would not have had a prestigious school like Duke at which to play.”

The feelings are clearly mutual, as Rennie glowed when he described the three-time All-American.

‘Jason Kreis was a very quiet player on the field,” Rennie said.

“Nobody ever at Duke worked harder on his game, on his own, than Jason Kreis. By the end of his career it was like he was doing whatever he wanted to do on the field, and he’s one of the best players that we’ve ever had.”

Under Rennie, Kreis played for the Blue Devils from 1991 to 1994, scoring 39 goals while tallying 38 assists. Memories of his days at Duke remain vivid in his mind.

“My best memories are of just surviving sophomore year when we went to the Final Four,” Kreis said with a laugh. “I just remember always hanging out with the guys on the team and having a great time.”

Although Kreis has been a perennial all-star in the top American soccer league over the past eight years, he has not been able to equal that success with the more prestigious U.S. National Team.

Kreis has scored only one goal playing in 14 contests, low numbers for a player ofhis caliber.

“It’s a matter of timing,” Kreis said in an interview with mlsnet.com. “It’s a matter of me not having one specific thing that you could point to and say, ‘Oh, this guy is excellent at this.’ I’m not the biggest forward, I’m not the fastest forward [and] I’m not the best at running at players.”

At the age of 31, and only one year removed from knee surgery and countless hours of rehabilitation, the father of two realizes that his time as a player is coming to a close. Kreis insisted, however, that his soccer career was by no means nearing its end.

Now a decade removed from his Duke career, Kreis does not maintain any contact with the current Blue Devils, a relationship he regrets not fostering after his college career. Now that Kreis has an eye on the future, he is considering reopening the lines of communication and is strongly thinking about entering the coaching ranks.

G-Man moves from floor to press row All-American finds success as commentator for the ACC by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

After a successful 14-year NBA career that concluded in 1994, former Duke center Mike Gminski was left pondering what to do next.

“When I was planning retirement, there were a few different things I was thinking about—law school, going into politics and broadcasting,” Gminski said.

Having ended his career with the Charlotte Hornets, Gminski was informed of an opening on their broadcasting team and decided to give it a try.

“It was right here in my backyard. It was an option I could not pass up,” Gminski said. “Of the three, it would have been the hardest to get into but with that opening, it made all the sense in the world.”

In the late 19705, players were expected to graduate and Gminski certainly valued this high standard of education, earning

Academic All-American honors three of his four years in Durham.

Last month he was also named as one of 25 finalists for the College Sports Information Directors of America Academic AllAmerica Hall of Fame, a recognition based on academic and athletic accomplishments in school as well as achievements in a post-collegiate career.

‘That may be something that I’m most proud of,” Gminski said, “the fact that I was honored not only as an athlete but also as a student.”

His hard work in the classroom has paid dividends in his professional career, especially because of the rising academic reputation of Duke.

“I tease people that I’m a beneficiary of diploma inflation,” Gminski said. “I think the reputation of the school has grown in the last 25 years. You kind of get the raised eyebrow. I don’t think there is any question that having graduated from Duke has been a huge benefit to me in whatever phase of my life.”

As an ACC commentator, he has been forced to put his Blue Devil allegiances aside. For the two time All-American remaining neutral has come relatively easily.

“I’ve been able to compartmentalize that devotion during the broadcast because I understand that Duke isn’t paying me to do the broadcast,” Gminski'said. “I have to be impartial.”

Off the air, Gminski’s loyalty to Duke has been quite evident, as he has stayed close to the school for which he starred both on and off the court.

In 1997, Mike Krzyzewski asked him to sit on the Board of Advisors for the Duke Children’s Hospital and “The GMan” served as the Board’s chair from 2001 to 2003. He was also recently asked to join the Board of Visitors for the Duke Medical Center.

His involvement with the medical center and children’s center stems back to his playing days, when he often would visit child cancer patients with teammate Jim Spanarkel. He also has been a participant in the Duke Children’s Classic charity golf

When he graduated from Duke in 1980 he was the school’s all-time leading scorer, having amassed 2,323 points at a clip of 19 per game. To this day, he still holds his position as Duke’s all-time leader in rebounds and blocked shots, and he was probably Duke’s best player before the Krzyzewski era.

With limited avenues available to pursue in order to stay involved with basketball after retiring, the seventh overall pick tournament. in the 1980 NBA draft readily admits he “[The Medical Center] has always been had no inclination to coach, but that a very special place for me,” Gminski said.

Jeffries driven back to soccer After time in banking, former Duke star returns to game as coach by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

Before Mike Jeffries’ freshman season in 1981, life on the Duke men’s soccer team was a different experience than it is today. The program did not have the same reputation that it has gained since the 1986 National Championship, and that meant the team needed to bring more than just talent to plant itself among the upper tier ofcollegiate soccer programs.

‘Those years were great, because we really started the program,’’Jeffries said. “We didn’t have the same facilities that they have today, and it was because of our great camaraderie that we started winning.”

Current head coach John Rennie was in his third season when Jeffries was a freshman, and Rennie remembers his forward turned defender fondly.

“Mike had tremendous poise and vision, was a hard worker and very much a student of the game,” Rennie said.

Mike Jeffries Despite winning the Hermann trophy in 1983 as the best player in the nation, Jeffries’ best memory ofhis days at Duke came the previous year in the NCAA Championship game. Playing against Indiana, Jeffries, Rennie and the rest of the Bltie Devils squad lost in a record eight overtimes, a game that, not surprisingly, included several controversial calls.

“Those ’B2 finals were a real heartbreak,” Jeffries said.

“I run into that ref every once in a while and joke with him about it.”

After graduating from Duke in 1985 with degrees in electrical engineering and public policy, Jeffries received his masters in finance from Tulane University and went to work for Wall Street brokerage powerhouse Smith Barney as an analyst. After years away from soccer, Jeffries got back into the game and in 2001 became the head coach of Major League Soccer’s Dallas Burn.

“Mike started coaching at the youth level, and just kind of got the bug,” Rennie said. “You know I talked to him regularly, I [asked him], ‘Are you sure you wanna coach? What are your mom and dad going to say? Are you going to give up all your education and all your experience in the business world to coach soccer?’ He just fell in love with coaching and worked his way up to be a head coach in Major League Soccer, and he’s a very very good coach.”

After three seasons Jeffries was let go, but he is looking to get back into coaching rather than finance.

“The pay scale is a little different,” Jeffries said. “But the competition of coaching professional soccer is fun. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, and you always feel lucky being in the game you love.”

CASSESE from page 3 you get into the MLL, guys can really blossom in terms of showing all the different things they can do,” O’Hara said.

“Here we ask Kevin to do a ton of stuff, and he does it all real well.”

Cassese has had success even while adjusting to the pro game. The pressure on Cassese to retain his level of play in the face of superior completion and more physical play is intense.

“There are only six teams in the MLL, so every team’s an all-star team,” Cassese said. “It’s truly the best lacrosse players in the world out here, so the level ofplay is just amazing.... The pro game is certainly played at a higher intensity level.

They clearly call the games tighter at the college level—there’s no fighting and no scrapping—but I think that stuff is very good for the pro game. It brings in fans, and it lets them get their emotions flowing, so we welcome it.”

This season, Cassese raised his season goal total from 12 to 18, and his team’s record improved from 5-7 in 2003 to 7-5, enough to qualify for the playoffs. His Rattlers fell to the Boston Cannons in the league semifinals though, and now he will be forced to return to the mainstream workforce.

When May approaches, however, Cassese will have no second thoughts about picking up the stick once again—his competitive spirit has yet to fade.

“Your motivation should be the same in anything you do. You want to be the best, and you want to win a championship,” Cassese said. “It doesn’t matter if its an ACC Championship or NCAA Championship or MLL World Championship—it’s always a goal you have, and to reach it would be the greatest achievement.”

deal with the increased demand Even with his excessive credentials, Goldsmith’s new players were skeptical of his ability to make the transition to the high school game.

“We were kind of iffy about him coming in,” senior free safety Daniel Gibbs said. “We didn’t know if he was going to coach like he was still in college and treat us like college players. But he has great compassion for his players. It’s an honor to play for him.”

Goldsmith uses many of the same coaching techniques from the college game when leading Franklin. For example, instead of sitting the entire team down to watch game film, Goldsmith splits the team into different sections where they can observe specifics from the tape.

“It’s the same system, only an easier version than college,” senior tight end and linebacker Ben Saviko said.

Despite the simplified tactics, Gibbs believes his coach is a “defensive genius.”

“When I was young, I was just ‘go for the man with the ball’. He’s really technical. He makes it fun for us,” he said.

Goldsmith said his team is a joy to coach, as everyone is on the field because they truly want to play the game of football.

“The boys are smaller, but everything else is the same,” he said. “These kids are playing just because they want to play. The games are just as important, if not more than in college. Most of these players are not going past the high school level—this is all they got.”

Despite his new love of the high school game, Goldsmith still reminisces about his experience at Duke. Though he felt that Duke terminated his employment one year too soon, he continues to have a positive relationship with the University.

“Duke’s been good to me,” the former Blue Devil coach said. ‘They’ve honored my contract. I haven’t had to get lawyers like many coaches do.”

Cassese's toughness has been an asset whenfacing stronger players from the MLL.
