THE CHRONICLE

In preparation for President Richard Brodhead’s inauguration, the University has planned a flurry of pre-inaugural events for the week,leading up to the formal ceremony this Saturday at the Duke Chapel. Despite the number of activities on campus, ranging from panel discussions about

global issues to a dance at Cameron Indoor Stadium, many students remain unaware of the extent of the week’s festivities.

Although these week-long events have been open to the public, students have not all been equally enthusiastic in taking advantage of the various programs. Decorated flags on campus light poles have been

Residents and emergency personnel in western North Carolina readied Thursday for more wet weather as Hurricane Ivan was scheduled to make a sweep up the Eastern seaboard over land already saturated from earlier storms. Meteorologists say spin-off storms from Ivan, most likely tornadoes, are possible as far east as Durham.

“Hurricane Ivan is a dangerous storm,” Governor Mike Easley told re-

porters at a Thursday morning briefing in Raleigh. “If you’ve not already prepared for it, you must do so today.”

Experts say the greatest threats from the storm, which killed 11 people as it

prevalent, all announcing Satur-

day’s festivities —but some students believe there has been little communication beyond these signs to inform students about the events. ‘The first time I realized that there were discussion panels was when I opened an issue of the Dialogue,” freshman SEE STUDENTS ON PAGE 8

Bright and early Wednesday morning, J. W. Walton, Trinity ’Bl—who heads a local catering company—began working tirelessly with the rest of his crew to transform Cameron Indoor Stadium from a cozy athletic facility to a lavish ballroom. An enormous tent, hung with golden valences and gilt carvings, engulfs the entire court. The makeover is nearing completion for tomorrow’s all-school dance, which resembles high society more than high school. And everyone’s invited.

“It’s like the prom on steroids,” Walton said.

The dance comes at the culmination of a week full of panels, parties and processions celebrating President Richard Brodhead’s inauguration. The events began with an ice cream social and a community service project and will kick into high gear this weekend with forums on globalization, a lecture by Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka and Brodhead’s official inauguration. The calendar is even too packed for honor himself to attend each event from beginning to end

“If I had nothing else to do, I would attend every one of them,” Brodhead said. “I can see that it’s a bit of a problem to be the person being inaugurated.”

The theme of the inaugural week has been Duke as a global institution, and many of the panels will address this topic. The talks begin tomorrow afternoon with two discussions about global health and global culture, moderated by Chancellor for Health Affairs Dr. Victor Dzau and Anne Allison, chair of the Department of Cultural Anthropology, respectively. The global theme continues with a lecture by Soyinka, a Nigerian playwright who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986,at 3:30 p.m. today. Saturday morning, Sanford Institute of Public Policy Director Bruce Jentleson will lead a panel discussion entitled “Global Challenges.”

Despite its international theme, the week-long celebration of Brodhead’s installment also has a local focus. The week began with “Into the City,” a community SEE PREPARATIONS ON PAGE 8

Iraqi gunmen kidnap 3 in Baghdad raid by

Mariam Fam

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq A team of kidnappers grabbed two Americans and a Briton in a dawn raid on their home on a leafy Baghdad street Thursday—a bold abduction that underlines the increasing danger for foreigners in the embattled capital as violence soars ahead of national elections planned for early next year.

West of the capital, U.S. forces launched attacks Thursday in the Sunni insurgent strongholds of Fallujah and Ramadi, killing up to 60 insurgents in strikes against allies of terror mastermind Abu Musab alZarqawi, a military statement said. The mil-

itary said that the “foreign fighters” were killed near Fallujah, but hospital officials there said the city was calm and that they had not received any casualties: The military launched what it called a “precision strike” against a house in Fallujah and followed it with a second strike in a nearby town. The second strike destroyed three buildings allegedly used by Zarqawi’s network.

Also Thursday, three U.S. Marines assigned to the Ist Marine Expeditionary Force were killed by hostile fire in separate incidents in the western Anbar province while conducting security operations, military officials said. One Marine

died at the scene and the two others died later of their wounds. No other details were released.

The U.S. Embassy identified the kidnapped Americans as Jack Hensley and Eugene Armstrong, but the identity of the British man was not disclosed.

The three worked for Gulf Services Co., a United Arab Emirates-based construction company. “They were doing work under contracts with them in Baghdad,” State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher said.

Airline passengers face tighter security

by I .F.si if Miller THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, D.C. Starting next week, all airline passengers must take off their jackets before passing through metal detectors and more travelers will be subjected to pat-down searches and checks for explosives, the Transportation Security Administration announced Thursday.

Screeners will advise passengers of the new procedures when they put their carry-on bags on the conveyor belt, TSA spokesperson Yolanda Clark said. The goal is “to fortify our screening procedures to detect the presence of explosives carried on a person or iri carry-on luggage,” she said.

Bags checked onto planes must pass through machines that can detect various kinds of explosives. But neither the walk-through metal detectors that passengers use on the way to gates nor the X-

ray machines for-carry-on bags can sense plastic explosives.

So now, every passenger selected for secondary screening after passing through metal detectors will have their carry-on items subjected to checks by explosives trace detectors. Screeners also have more discretion to conduct pat-down searches and check carry-on bags for bombs.

Air Travelers Association President David Stempler said the changes are a good idea, although some passengers could be upset by hand searches.

“Given the extraordinary need for it—given the recent bombing of the planes in Russia, heightened security alerts, tension leading up to the election—l think these are necessary evils that passengers have to put up with,” he said.

The TSA also is testing walk-through bomb-detection machines at five airports.

FOCUS reaches past freshmen Pilot program hopes to attract upperclassmen with seminars by

The new terms consist of 17 provisions, including a “Grievance Procedure,” which allows workers to complain about conditions without losing their jobs. The FLOC-NCGA agreement also permits employees bereavement leave and guaranteed time off after seven consecutive workdays.

Some of these privileges have long been granted to American workers, but NCGA Executive Director Stan Eury

Students who did not take FOCUS as incoming freshmen may still get their chance.

Next semester, the University plans to offer a pilot program for 30 freshmen and sophomores based on the existing FOCUS model.. Unlike traditional FOCUS programs, the new offering—called Exploring the Mind 2—does not incorporate Writing 20 orrequire students to live in the same dormitory and includes upperclassmen.

Students in the program will examine the workings of the human mind in different academic contexts, including biology, linguistics, philosophy and neuropharmacology. Exploring the Mind 2 will complement the existing Exploring the Mind FOCUS, with different professors and a new take on the same theme.

By offering the program to both freshmen and sophomores in their second semester, FOCUS Director Angela O’Rand said she hopes to accommodate more students than FOCUS presently can.

“Nobody believes that every student wants to do it. It will never be a requirement,” O’Rand said. “But maybe some [students] didn’t think it would be for them or didn’t apply for it, and wish they had, and wonder what the alternatives are.”

Such an alternative might still attract and benefit sophomores who are already concerned with fulfilling their major requirements, said Guven Guzeldere, associate professor of philosophy and director of the Exploring the Mind FOCUS since 1999.

He added that since the program requires only twoand-a-half credits and no writing component, sophomores can have a FOCUS-like experience while remaining on-track with their major requirements.

“Perhaps this kind of approach isn’t easy for freshmen, but after that you’re probably ready for the most challenging things Duke has to offer next,” Guzeldere said. ‘The absence of the dorm component may make it less of a bonding experience, but the hope is that the classes will be enough to provide a sense of fellowship among students.”

The new offering might also allow second-semester freshmen to explore other options.

Mt. Olive boycott officially ends Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

RALEIGH The prolonged boycott of the Mt. Olive Pickle Company officially came to a close Thursday when representatives of the North Carolina-based firm and officials from the North Carolina Growers Association and the Farm Labor Organizing Committee signed agreements to improve farmworker conditions, restructure product pricing and provide for union recognition.

Representatives at a press conference said the pact would lead to the largest single unionization in the history of North Carolina.

“I am one pickle packer who is glad to be out of a pickle today,” Mt. Olive President Bill Bryan said.

The boycott, organized by FLOG in 1999 to force Mt. Olive to improve worker conditions at farms the firm contracts, lasted five years without resolution and was supported by religious groups like the United Methodist Church. Duke removed Mt. Olive products from its campus stores in 2001 but reversed its decision within a year,

Kocher takes interim position as Chapel dean Alex Huang THE CHRONICLE

by

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Craig Kocher will serve as acting dean of the Duke Chapel while a University committee searches for a permanent dean.

President Richard Brodhead has named Assistant Dean Craig Kocher as acting dean of the Duke Chapel, temporarily replacing William Willimon, who was elected bishop by the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church July 15 after serving as the beloved dean of the Chapel for 20 years.

Kocher, who also serves as director of religious life, had already been filling in for Willimon during the dean’s sabbatical in the spring and was the obvious choice for the job, Brodhead said. “We knew [Kocher] would do a good job because he was doing a good job already,” the president affirmed. Craig is a person of great integrity who is extremely respectful of others. He is a very good preacher [and is] someone with a very clear vision of the role of the Chapel.”

Until a full-time replacement is found, Kocher will assume responsibility for leading the Chapel’s worship

services and for directing more than 25 religious groups on campus. In addition, Kocher will continue his duties as assistant dean, a position he has held since July 2003.

Those duties include counseling students, organizing discussion groups and leading student mission trips during fall and spring break.

Kocher admitted that he was “a little bit overwhelmed by both the appointment and the responsibility” ofhis new position. He added, however, that he felt “grateful and excited, appreciative and humbled by it all.”

During his tenure as head of the Chapel, Kocher does not plan to make any drastic changes. Instead, he described his job as that of “a steward [who will] make sure things continue to run smoothly.” He said his main goal is to ensure that the Chapel is in great shape for the new,'fulltime minister.

Meanwhile Brodhead also appointed an 11-member SEE KOCHER ON PAGE 5

Campus Council eyes dorm decorations, game room Sophia Peters THE CHRONICLE

by

Thursday night’s Campus Council meeting focused on both a resolution pertaining to the quad councils’ ability to control their quadrangles’ aesthetics and the council’s desire to revitalize the game room on the third floor of McClendon Tower.

The resolution, “Empowering Quad Residents to Create Familiar and Comfortable Homes,” addresses two proposals intended to create quad unity and pride.

The first segment gives quad councils the ability to authorize the decoration of hallways with the consent of the facilities manager and reminds the councils to use quad funds both to spruce up the commons rooms and make recommendations as to the care of the grounds.

The second segment aims to create a majordomo e-mail account for each quad by giving Campus Council access to quad mailing lists. “The precursor to everything was empowering the quad councils to make the quads their

own,” said sophomore Damian Denoble, vice president of Campus Council.

There were several problems with which the council members and residence coordinators in attendance took issue. Members were concerned that products bought and events sponsored with quad funds would not be distributed equally to all residents of the quad. Additionally, residence coordinators were hesitant to give out quad mailing lists for fear that the lists would be abused and residents’ inboxes inundated with e-mails.

“Yeah, I sent [the list] out,” said David Montag, Edens Quad residence coordinator. “I was very reluctant to do so, but I guess we’ll see how it goes.”

Campus Council remained firm on receiving access to the mailing lists, citing its desire to build trust between the quad councils and their respective residents. “If you’ve been elected by your peers, you should be allowed to contact those who elected you,” said senior Anthony Vitarelli, Campus Council president.

Eddie Hull, executive director of housing services and dean of residence life, and Campus Council’s desire to reinvigorate the game room on the third floor of McClendon Tower dominated the rest of the meeting. “[The game room] is an underutilized space,” Vitarelli said. “It’s meant to be an informal hangout space that is not informally hung out in all that much.”

Memberstossed around ideas about how to improve the space, including replacing old or lost equipment, adding televisions with cable and arcade games, decorating the walls with Duke memorabilia and increasing programming to raise awareness about the possibilities of the space.

‘This should be a place to hang out and talk to you friends, it shouldn’t be a place where people are studying,” said sophomore Jared Layne, the Craven Quad representative who will be heading the effort along with Vitarelli.

The plans are still very much in the early phases, said Vitarelli, who is planning to meet with Hull to discuss Campus Council’s suggestions.

James B. Duke professor emeritus dies From staff and wire reports Irving Diamond, a retired James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and a prominent researcher in human and animal sensory systems, died Tuesday at his Durham home.

He was 81.

Diamond, born in Chicago Sept. 17, 1922, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Chicago. After serving from 1943 to 1946 in the U.S. Army, Diamond joined the University of Chicago faculty and taught there for a decade before coming to Duke in 1958.

“He was an important figure in neuropsychology,” said George Washington Ivey Professor Emeritus ofNew Testament in the Divinity School Moody Smith, a friend and colleague to Diamond. “He loved intellectual controversy and was always open minded.”

The author or co-author of more than 100 scientific papers, including chapters in 11 books, Diamond focused

MT. OLIVE from page 3

his research on the evolution of the primate brain and the structure and function of the neocortex.

Diamond’s teaching methods included requiring students to analyze the original texts of great pioneers in the fields of evolution, genetics, embryology, neurophysiology and experimental psychology. “He was kind of a renaissance man—he was a very good teacher and his interests went beyond his discipline,” Smith said.

Diamond was named to the National Academy of Sciences in 1982 and he received the distinguished scientific contribution award from the American Psychological Association for having made a unique contribution, and one that has changed the direction of his field.

A memorial service is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 19, at York Chapel in Duke Divinity School.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 1131, Fairfax, Va. 22038-1131.

and FLOG President Baldemar Velasquez said Thursday’s agreement was the first to afford rights such as unionization to the guest workers, whose temporary status forced them to work harrowing hours under grueling conditions.

Eury called the agreement “the most progressive employer-worker agreement in the nation.”

All three sides’ representatives considered the agreement a victory. While Mt. Olive’s Bryan saw his own company getting out of a jam, FLOG workers were pleased with the outcome of their five-year struggle.

‘We’ve been saying ‘hasta la victoria’ for a long time—it’s come today! said Bishop Joseph Gossman, head of the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh. Gossman was at the press conference in support of the farmworkers, many of whom are Catholic.

Despite the rancor that has developed between FLOG on one side and Mt. Olive and NCGA on the other, the three officials were complimentary to one another. Eury described Velasquez as “an Energizer bunny” who doggedly advocated for his constituents; Velasquez described Eury and Bryan as “worthy opponents” and complemented Mt. Olive’s forthrightness.

“What I respect most about [Mt. Olive] is that they open themselves to scrutiny,” Velasquez said. “They are an open book.”

Both Eury and Velasquez acknowledged that the farms in the NCGA were disclosing to the government sufficient information about working conditions, and that firms who used illegal aliens were the most likely to mistreat their workers.

“We’re certainly going after those firms that have undocumented workers, because I agree with some of the critics that those workers are the worst off,” Velasquez said. “No human being is illegal,” he added to a chorus of cheers.

With the boycott over, FLOG hopes to extend its influence, both direcdy and indirectiy. Velasquez said he hopes other agricultural businesses will reform their labor practices without any boycott after seeing the outcome of the Mt. Olive conflict. Velasquez also said this agreement did not mean all three groups were on the same page, but that Thursday’s terms of accord, having concluded half a decade of boycotting and poor working conditions, were “what reconciliation is all about.” ”

search committee led by Rev. Charles Smith and consisting of University administrators, alumni and current students to look for a full-time dean of the Chapel. “I expect we’ll have a full-time appointment in the spring,” Brodhead said.

Kocher is not on the search committee, but hopes to serve the committee as an “outside consultant.” As for the full-time role as dean of the Chapel, Kocher has no plans to apply for the job. “I love the job I’ve got. I’m not going to actively seek the position at all,” he said. Til trust the search committee to do what is in the best interest of Duke Chapel.”

For the time being, many community members are delighted to have Kocher in charge of Duke’s most historically and physically distinguishing symbol.

Kristine Harrington, a first-year student in the Divinity School, agreed. “I have very high opinions of Craig,” she said. “He’s the reason I’m at Duke Divinity School.”

ARTS from page 1 “Our image is definitely coming up. I think it really has to do with the interest and the dedication of the people. We’re getting a lot of actual theater people.”

The student group is not alone. All areas of the arts at Duke are reporting a renaissance of regard from performers and audience members alike. This year a subsidy from the Office of the Provost reduced student ticket prices to $5 for most events in order to fuel interest, and a flurry of promotion has hyped performers as diverse as opera companies, East Indian dancers and puppet troupes.

The publicity has come all at once, but Duke has been collecting its artisdc reputation for many years. During this time, the arts worked with little institutional support and less notice, but administrators have recently emphasized the way artistic expression can enrich education.

‘To be a university, you’ve got to be strong in English and in math and in biology. You’ve also got to be strong in the arts,” said Kimerly Rorschach, director of the Nasher Museum ofArt. “It’s more than a kind ofrecreational activity after the real work is done. It’s part of the real work.”

As Duke has sculpted itself into a cohesive university over the past several decades, it has progressively focused on individual disciplines. First came the push to develop humanities departments. Then, Duke built up its social sciences. During the most recent decade, the University has constructed the natural sciences and engineering.

Now the higher-ups who decide the priorities of the University have decided it is timel to devote attention to music and drama and visual arts.

Cathy Davidson, vice provost for interdisciplinary studies, explained the sudden omnipresence of culture in the

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Gothic Wonderland: “They’ve just said, This is the moment.’”

It’s all about money The moment started most tangibly with the creation of Duke’s strategic plan, which laid out the areas of study to which Duke would devote resources —meaning money. The plan specifically called for a greater integration of the arts into the academic mission of the University.

In order to fulfill this objective by the plan’s expected completion date at the end of this academic year, administrators

upped the profile of arts at Duke. Provost Peter Lange named Richard Riddell, onetime chair of theater studies, special assistant to the provost for arts in order to create institutional support where faculty have long said there is none.

A confidential report from January 2001 said the arts community at Duke was “in sore need of leadership, financial support and new or renovated space.” The report went on to say that many of the departments and programs such as music, drama and dance had accomplished a great deal of scholarship with very little means.

But Duke fell short of its peer schools like Stanford and Princeton Universities.

“Frankly,” the report read, “compared to these universities and others in our class, the arts at Duke look shabby.”

•Since then, the University hired several prominent professors in music and dance.

It upgraded the program in theater studies to a full department, placing a greater emphasis on scholarship and recruiting several professors. Discussion still surfaces about whether to promote dance to a department as well, but so far it remains a program.

The graduate programs, particularly in music, slowly improved their reputations, but the undergraduate programs still lag behind. “Duke has. not been well known,” said Scott Lindroth, chair of the music department. “Changing that perception has been very difficult.”

The University is currently trimming budgets and carefully evaluating its growth, but it is investing in the arts, and faculty are expecting it to devote still more resources.

Former President Nan Keohane began many of these efforts, but the change in University leadership suggests an intensification of creative development. President Richard Brodhead and George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences, have both spoken extensively about the virtues of a flourishing arts community.

McLendon told faculty he planned to “use the arts to spark interest in humanities—as part of being human.”

Theater and music used to be able to get one-time gifts from the University to sponsor major performers and put on special concerts. Much of that money, which had been given annually, has become part of the departmental budgets for the first time this year, allowing the faculty greater control over how the money is spent.

two new faculty members this and Lindroth said it is on the verge of developing year, unique programs in jazz and the ethnography of music.

All of these steps are designed to tie the performance aspects of art to the academic aspects, administrators said.

“This is not a frill or entertainment,” Davidson said.

‘This is as serious and important to the academic mission of the University as any other part of the University.”

But Duke faces some geographical challenges as it strives to attract serious artists to teach.

Unlike many other top colleges, Duke is not close to the major metropolitan arts centers, making it more difficult for famous or struggling artists to drop in for guest lectures or to hold part-time appointments. “That presents some unique challenges, but also opportunities,” Riddell said.

McLendon said the University is still trying to balance the number of full-time faculty, part-time professors and visiting artists. To attract the best people, Duke needs lures stronger than the resources it has recently made available.

Creating the space The trumpeted centerpiece of arts progress is the Nasher Museum being constructed in the middle of campus. Brodhead has called it the “spark plug” of Duke’s artistic development, and he totes the museum as a “living” piece ofDuke’s academics. “If you ever have a class in that building, it will change your life,” he said.

The decision to replace the Duke University Museum ofArt with the new Nasher served as the starting point for the most recent consideration of Duke’s artistic life. Raymond Nasher, the primary donor, offered the money years ago, but only recendy did it become possible to build the Rafael Viholy-designed masterpiece. Several administrators confirmed that Nasher attached strings to his gift so that it could only be built on Campus Drive.

Building the museum near Central Campus, a decision that was made about six years ago, forced the University to think about how to integrate campus arts into each other.

Several reports in the ’Bos and ’9os encouraged the creation of an arts quad where music, theater, dance and visual arts could all mingle easily. That area of campus would serve as a destination for artistic endeavors.

Duke decided to proceed with facility upgrades rather than create a single area. It finished a $2 million addition to the Bryan Center that gave the theater studies department more rehearsal space and classrooms in 2003. The department was relieved that its new space was close to the theaters it used.

When the John Hope Franklin Center for the Humanities opened in 2001, it also boasted two art galleries.

In addition, the University bought an old tobacco warehouse near East Campus that will become a mecca for the merger of technology, music and visual arts. Galleries, studios and creation spaces will also be housed in the Smith Warehouse. Half of the building is open, but the other half only received funding for the necessary renovations this year.

These developments, however, excluded the creation of a central gathering space for creative endeavors.

The Nasher will serve as a flagship to initially draw people to campus, but it is not a fully interdisciplinary venue.

“It’s away for us to let the broader community know what we’re doing,” said Rorschach, who came to Duke specifically to build the museum’s collection and high profile.

“Our mission is as an arts museum, but we want to be a place where all the arts can come together.”

Administrators said that scattering the arts throughout campus, with some areas on East, Central, West and offEast will create an inescapable presence of art that will weave it into the fabric of daily life.

“I think art should be everywhere,” Davidson said. “It’s very, very bad for the arts to be seen as an add on.”

Even though faculty and administrators agree that the Nasher will clearly become a focal point of Duke’s art scene, several faculty members still suggest that Duke may be making the best of an unavoidable situation. “It doesn’t seem to be the result of a clear, careful consideration,” said Peter Burian, chair of classical studies who served on an earlier task force about arts. “It’s simply away of explaining what we’ve got.”

Let them come In the background of all the institutional support for art programs are the students who create art. The University’s effort to mold an arts community is ultimately dependent on students’ interest.

Recently Duke has given more emphasis to artistic talent when building its undergraduate classes. Hundreds of potential freshmen send tapes of themselves dancing or playing music as part of their college applications.

Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admis-

sions, said artistry plays a greater role in the admissions process than it ever has before.

Last year the music department listened to nearly 600 tapes, Lindroth said. Guttentag then asked the department to return a list of the 40 best musicians to receive special consideration.

All 40 students the department recommended received letters of acceptance. “Something like this has never happened before,” Lindroth said.

Although not all the students enrolled, multiple leaders of extra-curricular art groups on campus have said talent and participation levels have risen. Classes in the dance program are turning students away. The diversity of students auditioning for musical theater shows has increased.

The orchestra pits in theaters have been full for the first time, and the official orchestra of the University is considering an international tour after a several-year hiatus.

“From my perspective, the interest in performance has been up in recent years,” said Rodney Wynkoop, a professor of the practice and director of the largest Chorale group in memory. “It’s probably true that the more students show their interest in performance, the more likely

they’re going to tell other students and faculty. And the more they talk, the more likely it’s going to create a kind of buzz about performance on campus.”

But the University’s plan for arts does not end with the creation of this community, administrators said. When students and faculty become engaged with the arts, administrators hope they will begin to merge the social and intellectual lives ofcampus. Rather than sending students into the social landscape of the weekend, the University wants to blur the line between learning and lounging.

And, once again, that is where money comes in. As part of a two-year pilot program, the provost is subsidizing most artistic events. Riddell said the goal was to make it cheaper to go to a cultural performance than to a movie.

Administrators ultimately hope that the arts will inspire discussion and creativity in all arenas of life—what Brodhead has repeatedly dubbed the objective of a liberal arts education.

“It makes us all think bigger, better and bolder,” Davidson said. “Even just watching arts is about stretching, and whenever you’re in the realm of imagining, you’re in the realm of the next generation.”

What to expect from President Brodhead thedeeds Brodhead's first few weeks haven't exactly been quiet In his first week he managed to keep Coach K from leaving. And since then, he's been situating himself in his new post.

He is allowing the Palestine Solidarity Conference to come to Duke and has already been a staunch defender of academic freedom and intellectual exploration. Brodhead has also dealt with some of the daily stuff, reportedly telling administrators he wants to fix the safety issues on campus immediately.

thespeech The president is well known for his inspiring convocation speeches, but his inaugural speech is a welcome speech times 10. It's his chance to set the tone for his entire tenure, and he knows it. Brodhead has been close-lipped about what he will say, but he said he plans to explain his "sense of this place" rather than chart a massive directional shift for the University. He also said he would highlight the strengths and a few areas at Duke that need more attention.

LELLA/THE CHRONICLE

President Richard Brodhead satisfies his sweet tooth at a meet-and-greet at the Marketplace Monday.

Brodhead has clearly stated that he will continue former President Keohane's projects and bring them to new levels.That means following up on the Women's Initiative and residential life issues. It also means continuing to build trust between Duke and Durham and between the faculty and the administration. Brodhead is very aware of the foundation that Keohane's tenure gives him for any new projects he might undertake.

STUDENTS from page 1

thefuture By the end of the year, the University needs to have a new strategic plan articulated because the current one is pretty much complete.This document will likely dictate the direction of Duke for the next few years, so watch for Brodhead's voice in that.The president has also gotten excited about defining and explaining a vision of residential life that helps East, the quad model and the new Central Campus fit together. For the grad schools, international collaboration and joint degrees are becoming a big deal and Duke has to figure out the way it wants to play on the world stage.

service project connecting Duke and Durham. Saturday will include a panel on Duke’s history and its current direction including luminaries ranging from men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski to Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe professor of Theological Ethics.

Saturday’s inauguration at 3 p.m. is the centerpiece of the week’s events.

Brodhead will address the community in the Chapel, and his speech will be broadcast simultaneously to audiences in Reynolds and Griffith Theaters and Page Auditorium. Brodhead’s speech will out-

line his vision for the University.

“In the speech I try to describe my sense of this place and just to briefly mention some of the places where we will want to be working,” Brodhead said.

The week-long festivities conclude with the Cameron soiree at 9 p.m. and a Chapel service Sunday morning. With a weekend full of possibilities, members of the Duke community plan to go to at least some of the events.

Tm going to some things because my grandparents are coming up. They’re big Iron Dukes,” said junior Lolly Chadwick.

“I know we’re going to the [“Duke University Past, Present and Future”] panel because my grandma loves Coach K.”

Cyrus Amoozegar said. “There was a big page listing all of the events. I wasn’t even aware that there was a dance at Cameron until I saw that page.”

Students like freshman Andrew Yeh are looking forward to the opportunity to meet their new president. “We’ve all seen President Brodhead at convocation, but we haven’t had the opportunity to really talk with him. These discussions should allow us to get to know him on a personal level,” Yeh said, although noting that he would not necessarily plan his schedule around the events.

Still learning to make the transition to university life, many freshmen have found it difficult to grasp the implications of changing the school’s leadership from the former president, Nan Keohane, to Brodhead. “As a freshman, I haven’t really experienced the school with any other president. So, it would be hard for me to gauge the significance of a new one,” freshman Mahmood El-Gasim said.

Upperclassmen, however, have shown more interest and involvement in the inauguration proceedings. Because they all have at least one year of college experience with Keohane as president, many have concerns regarding both the dynam-

ics of student life, as well as what Brodhead can contribute to the University.

“As a member of the Asian Students Association executive board, I am curious to see how President Brodhead promotes diversity on campus,” said junior Caroline Shou, noting that to her knowledge diversity had not been one of the new president’s priorities when he was dean of Yale College. “President Keohane always actively encouraged student interaction among different ethnic groups. I hope President Brodhead is able to do this as well through campus-wide programs and activities.”

To further promote student attendance at the inauguration events, the Interfraternity Council has encouraged its 15 member fraternities to attend the community dance and to not schedule any programs that would conflict with the activity. The IFC hopes to direct all of the campus’ attention to the weekend’s historic event.

“The IFC is totally supportive of the inauguration and dedicated to helping it run smoothly,” said IFC President Will Connolly, a senior. “In turn, we have asked the fraternities to support it as well.”

University faculty and officials from other institutions around the world have said they will attend, guaranteeing a full crowd for Saturday’s ceremony. It remains to be seen, however, whether there will be as many students in attendance.

National Guard in anticipation of the soggy weather and dispatched 144 additional Highway Patrol troopers to the western part of the state to manage traffic.

Many say they expect Ivan to bring up to a foot ofrain to Western North Carolina.

“We expect the effects to be about the same as Frances,” said Rose Cummings, spokesperson for Duke Power. “It’s all dependent on the track the hurricane takes, though.”

Duke Power, which manages hydroelectric facilities in the Catawba River system in northwest North Carolina, has been furiously working to move water through the 225-mile-long chain of 11 lakes. Duke Power’s hydroelectric plants are now working at full capacity, gates to the company’s dams have been opened and spillways along certain portions of the river system are being utilized. But preventing problematic flooding is still difficult.

‘We manage the Catawba River chain as a whole system, not individual lakes and reservoirs,” Cummings said.

The high levels of rainfall expected with the storm, coupled with winds pre-

dieted at speeds of up to 40 mph, only confound flooding problems that the region has already encountered, experts say.

“Water has nowhere to go into the ground,” said Lincoln Pratson, an associate professor of sedimentary geology at the Nicholas School of the Environment.

“One impact, when there are heavy rains like this, is falling trees.”

Fallen trees could only add to mud flow on eroding hillsides, some experts say, creating potentially devastating mudslides. Such erosion also occurs on coastlines where hurricanes originally come ashore, although this deterioration is typically temporary. is pretty much a temporary thing,” said Brad Murray, an assistant professor at the Nicholas School of the Environment.

“The sand generally does come back, though not to the same places necessarily.”

Although beaches tend to rebuild rather quickly, the effects of mudslides on mountainous vegetation could produce long-term consequences.

By Thursday afternoon meteorologists warned of potential spin-off thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Triangle area from Ivan’s North Carolina path.

Duke officials had already moved Saturday’s inauguration ceremony of new president Richard Brodhead indoors and said they would assess the situation as the weather progresses.

“We have a severe weather plan that is always in place,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “Fundamentally the determination is made on how safe the environment can be.” storm

This weekend, Krzyzewski will try to complete the second version of the Killer Bs when Snohomish, Wash., power forward Jon Brockman comes to town for an official visit. “[Duke] likes his athletic ability, and they really like his character,” said Brockman’s coach Len Bone, adding that the Duke coaching staff had contacted him about Brockman as early as April.

“At his age, he understands what’s important and keeps things in the right perspective.”

That character, coupled with Spartan work ethic, has made Brockman an ideal target for the Blue Devils, who covet a blue-collar inside player.

The 6-foot-7 Brockman, who averaged 22 points and 13 rebounds per game last season, has narrowed his options down to Duke, UCLA and Washington, all ofwhich have offered him scholarships. Bone said that Brockman’s decision will likely come in the near future.

“Several coaches throughout the whole recruiting process have said he works right up there with the best in the country and may be the best,” Bone said. “I don’t think with Jon that he knows any other way to do it than to give everything he has.”

As a result, Brockman has gained a reputation as one of the nation’s most aggressive and relendess players.

For the field hockey team, it’s one big game after another.

The No. 4 Blue Devils (5-1) hope to keep their momentum going after last weekend’s victory over national champions Wake Forest as they head into Sunday’s matchup against No. 7 Old Dominion (3-1). “[This stretch is] especially important because we had a good weekend last weekend and we need to show that we can carry that over,” senior captain Johanna Bischof said.

Duke also plays Janies Madison (1-5) Saturday. Both games begin at 1 p.m. at Williams Field.

Last year, the Blue Devils’ win over Old Dominion catapulted them to a new level of play as they won 12 of their next 13 games. Duke hopes that this year it can once again come away with a big win.

“I think it will be a good test for us,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “When you beat Old Dominion, you know you’ve done a good job.”

Va. The Hokies have achieved unbridled success over the past 10 years, and have enjoyed top-25 rankings, packed stadiums and the national television coverage that come with that prestige.

Duke tries to keep Bulldogs on leash by

Galen Vaisman THE CHRONICLE

Although still a bit jet lagged and behind on work from their successful Hawaii trip, the No. 22 Blue Devils (4-2) are looking, to carry the momentum back from the islands.

The Blue Devils square off against Georgia (2-1-2) and Furman (2-4) Friday and Sunday, respectively, in the 14th annual Duke/adidas Classic.

“We got better in Hawaii, and that’s what I’m excited about right now,” said head coach Robbie Church, whose team won a pair of games on the trip. “We’ve been practicing harder, and we’ve been playing harder in the games over longer periods of time.”

During the trip, the defensive unit showed noticeable improvement after a sluggish start to the season during a pair of losses.

“It’s been huge for us to just keep getting unified in the back, and this past weekend was just huge for us to get two shutouts,” junior back Heidi Hollenbeck said. “It builds our confidence, and our communication back there has really been improving too.”

Church, however, said his team cannot be overconfident if it wants to repeat last weekend’s performance against more formidable foes. Both games have huge postseason implications for the Blue Devils as they seek to solidify their

The Duke defense will be challenged by a pair of talented forwards, senior Tricia McKee and freshman Karen Zmirak, both of whom have netted three goals so far for Georgia.

Tactically, the Blue Devils will seek to counter the Bulldogs’ physical play by putting a priority on moving the ball around in the center of the field.

“We’ve concentrated a little bit more in pushing it up the middle,” sophomore forward Sarah McCabe said. ‘We’ve been pushing it wide a lot, and we’re trying to make all aspects of our game even.”

Overall, the Blue Devils are excited about their recent success and hope they have finally hit their stride.

Clemson looks to end Duke’s perfect year by

Maxi Moehlmann THE CHRONICLE

The explosive youth of Duke and the experience ofClemson will meet Saturday.

When the teams square off at 7 p.m. under the lights of Koskinen Stadium, conference play will finally begin. After cruising to a perfect 6-0 record, the Blue Devils have their sights set on the Tigers. Duke is looking to avenge last year’s close 2-1 loss to Clemson and its less than stellar 2-4 conference record in 2003.

“Clemson is probably thinking we’re inexperienced since we start a lot of freshmen, but the team as a whole will come together,” co-captain Matt White said.

This Duke team is much different than last year’s squad. With a stingy defensive unit that has not allowed a goal all season and a much quicker and more dangerous offense, the 2004 Blue Devils have plenty of skill to hang with any ACC team.

The one disadvantage Duke has is its inexperience. Senior co-captain Joe Kelly is optimistic about Saturday’s garde, but he is also aware that a game of this magnitude can be a tough task, especially for such a young team.

“There will be a lot of nerves coming into a game of this importance, but we are looking to start the ACC with a bang this year,” Kelly said. “The team will go into tomorrow’s game with a lot of positive energy.”

Clemson comes into Saturday’s game with a solid 3-1 record, including a pair of wins in the adidas/Brown Classic. The Tigers’ Steven Rhyne, who was named Offensive MVP of the tournament, poses the biggest threat to

Duke’s shutout streak. In order to contain the powerful Clemson offense, the Blue Devils will have to continue to step up. The Tigers, like Duke, struggled in the ACC last year with a 2-4 record. Both teams will be anxious to forget about 2003 by notching an early conference victory.

Clemson suffered its only loss this to No. 3 UNC-Greensboro, 2-0. The Spartans took advantage of defensive mistakes made by the Tigers, and Duke will look to do the same this weekend.

Although the Blue Devils have had very impressive numbers thus far this season, they have not had faced an opponent like Clemson. Playing and beating inferior teams like Emory & Henry and St. Francis will not make this year successful for Duke. Last year the Blue Devils failed to pull through in big games; the team often lost close contests against top teams.

The fresh faces on the team this year may be what Duke needs to once again become a top ACC program. Five freshmen see significant playing time, including Paul Dudley and Michael Videira, who are among the team’s top offensive producers. Freshmen Spencer Wadsworth, Tomek Charowski and Zachary Pope have also proven to be key contributors to Duke’s strong start.

Along with the new blood on the team, sophomores Josh Swank and Chris Loftus and junior Blake Camp, who was the Duke/adidas Classic MVP, form a much stronger core than Duke had last season. This year, if Clemson hopes to repeat 2003’s victory, it will have to do it against a retooled Blue Devil team.

Located at 806 West Main Street, the Fishmonger’s building was opened in 1924 as Carolina Cadillac and later operated as a Chrysler dealership; this area was the center of car dealerships, including American Nash, Hudson, and Studebaker. Today it is centrally located among the many fine restaurants and shopping venues at historic Brightleaf Square. The area is reminiscent of many old town areas such as Baltimore, Georgetown, and Savannah; people familiar with these areas find themselves at home in Fishmonger’s. offers the Fishmonger’s pleasant surprise of fresh local and regional seafood prepared in a simple, health conscious menu. Tourists have

fish & chips, not to mention the quality of the blackened fish and oyster and shrimp “po boys” so common in New Orleans. Shiner Bock beer, oysters from the Gulf coast, Maryland-style blue crabs, Dungeness crabs, and Frogmore stew are some of the other regional favorites.

Fishmonger’s welcomes back Mark Ivey, one of our original employees, who recently left Fowler’s Gourmet Grocery. Mark is creating inspired seasonal dishes and sides, not to mention his elegantly simple homestyle desserts banana pudding, brownies from scratch, and rice pudding. Another soon to be favorite is Fishmonger’s not eastern-style, not barbeque western-style, but our own original hickory smoked recipe. We have already heard numerous comments that it may be the best in town.

Please be our guest, join us for lunch in fact, have a lunch entree on us. Bring in this ad and you will receive a lunch entree valued up to $7.95, with the purchase of another entree of equal or greater value. Gary Bass, Proprietor -

FOOTBALL

from page 11

junior Cedric Humes, broke his leg last spring. Former wicleout Justin Hamilton has been unspectacular in his first two games—he rushed for a mere 37 yards in a 24-13 loss to USC and platooned with two other running backs in a 63-0 victory over Western Michigan last week. Reamer has yet to admit that Hamilton’s Job is in

jeopardy.

“Justin Hamilton impressed me during the game this past Saturday,” Beamer said.

“The blocking for pass protection and running hard worked for him that day....

He is a valuable, consistent player for us.”

Virginia Tech’s secondary is also dangerously thin. The Hokies’ defense, which gave up 175 points in the final five games of the 2003 season, surrendered 272 passing yards to USC Questions also abound for Duke head coach Ted Roof, who like Beamer is serving his first full tour of duty in the ACC. Roof is still utilizing a two-quarterback rotation —neither senior Chris Dapolito nor sophomore Mike Schneider has secured the starting job. Running back Cedric Dargan and wideout Senterrio Landrum will not play due to injury.

Captain linebacker Phillip Alexander is now out for the season after breaking his leg Saturday. Add to these woes the lingering effects of last week’s demoralizing loss to Connecticut and the morale-crushing noise the Blue Devils will face inside Lane Stadium this weekend, and it appears as if Roofs troubles might be insurmountable.

Roof however, has expressed nothing but confidence in his players.

“I think we’re very disappointed because we gave so much and we emptied our tank,” Roof said. “But at the same time, I know this: If we keep putting ourselves in position to win, we’re going to get some, and when we get some it’s going to snowball. I think they’re hungry to go compete again, especially against a great football team and in a great environment for college football. Motivation won’t be a problem.”

If the past is any indicator, the noise level inside Lane Stadium will not jar the Blue Devils, who last year nearly upset the Tennessee Volunteers in front of. a crowd of 104,772.

DAN RYAN/THE CHRONICLE

Tight end Ben Patrick will try to ignite the Duke offense in a game that could become a shootout. Virginia Tech beat Western Michigan 63-0 last week.

“There will be a bunch of people screaming against us [at Virginia Tech,]” Roof said. “That’s a good thing. If you’re a competitor, you really can relish that. But at the same time, those fans aren’t going to tackle anybody or block anybody.

There’s 11 on the field and we have to focus on that.”

Duke’s will have to focus especially hard on Virginia Tech quarterback Bryan Randall, a two-dimensional player with the ability to hurt opposing defenses both on

the ground (114 rushing yards against pressure on and it goes back to what I said USC) and through the air (253 passing about that about how that team puts you yards against Western Michigan). Roof, under the gun.” whose defense was victimized by Navy’s So are Duke’s chances against Virginia option attack and now must deal with the Tech finished before they even begin? loss of Alexander, reiterated the danger of Certainly not, and Reamer will be the first a quarterback as mobile as Randall. to admit it.

“Duke is a capable football team,” “You saw him get loose against Southern Cal, who might arguably be the Reamer said. “[Duke] is a football team that is capable of winning conference best defense in the country, and he avoidgames and that is the way we are approached those guys, made them miss and created big plays,” Roof said. “That puts added ing Saturday’s game.”

conditioned guy.”

Over the summer, Brockman’s hard work not only earned him billing as one of the nation’s top rebounders, but it also caught the attention of future.Blue Devils Greg Paulus and Josh Mcßoberts, who currently made up die Blue Devils’ recruiting class of 2005 along with Boykin and Boateng.

After playing with Paulus on an international team in France and meeting Mcßoberts at the USA Development Festival over the summer, Brockman has developed a good friendship with his possible future teammates.

“We’ve had great chemistry playing together,” Paulus said. “He plays hard, he’s smart, he’s fundamentally sound and he’s a winner. He’s a Duke kind of kid.”

Likewise, Mcßoberts had a ringing endorsement for his fellow big man.

“He’s a really hard worker, a really athletic player,” Mcßoberts said. “He’s going to help any team that he’s on at any 1eve1.... He’d be a great addition.”

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, however, some have speculated that he is leaning toward playing on the West Coast.

That would give UCLA and Washington a significant advantage over Duke.

Brockman, however, downplayed those rumors after receiving his scholarship offer and trimming his list of possible destinations to three schools. “They’re all good picks to me,” Brockman said.“ I’ve never been to Duke before so I could fall in love with it or I could not like it, I have no clue what’s going to happen.”

Brockman’s brother Paul reiterated his feelirigs, indicating that he had no clear leader in his recruiting process. “He hasn’t

Team back to the Olympics.

Old Dominion historically has had extraordinary defensive teams, and this year seems to be no exception as the Monarchs are only giving up 2.5 goals per game. The Blue Devils, however, hope that their speed will be able to give the Monarchs trouble.

“We are a fast team so if we can use that to our advantage, we should have a good chance,” Bischof said.

Despite the magnitude of the Old Dominion game, the Blue Devils are not going to look past Saturday’s game, Bozman said. James Madison is coming off its first win of the season, topping

He’s always said he’s going to decide sometime this fall, and I think that’s what he’s working toward,” Bone said. “I would guess [he will decide] within the next three weeks.”

If all goes well for Krzyzewski this weekend, that decision could complete one of the nation’s top recruiting classes. “

“I think they’ll go into James Madison playing them hard and still thinking about how they can improve,” Bozman said.

Duke’s lone loss came earlier this season against No. 1 Michigan State. Since then, the Blue Devils have dominated, outscoring opponents 37-3 during its current win streak. The team seems to be hitting its stride, especially offensively. Duke is the highest scoring team in the nation at 6.6 goals per game.

“I think things are starting to fall into place,” Bischof said. “In the beginning of the season we looked a little shaky, but I think we are starting to be a little bit more confident about what we are doing.”

Duke’s strong play has also made Bozman very optimistic, despite the team’s early setbacks.

“Michigan State was a big letdown for us, but I think we’re heading in the right direction,” Bozman said.

Retain Coffeehouse culture Fittingly tucked behind East Campus in the most unassuming of locations, the Duke Coffeehouse’s place on campus is not only one that offers an alternative and unique option to greek life but another that is often overlooked: Its vital role as a link between Durham youth and the University. Writing as a Durham native who enjoyed the Coffeehouse during high school as a great venue to hang out, perform and watch bands play, and later as a four-year student volunteer booking shows for the Coffeehouse, I agree with The Chronicle’s position regarding its future in its Sept. 9 staff editorial, “Revitalize the Coffeehouse.”

I caution, however, that the Coffeehouse’s role in attracting nationally recognized independent and underground musicians as well as Durham youth is very much important to its success and fostering a culturally vibrant campus. While not well known by many students or faculty members, the Coffeehouse’s ability to attract a myriad of national musicians of all genres

and offer a fertile venue for developing local high school talent is critical to the University’s ongoing efforts to better integrate Duke within its Durham surroundings. Many also do not know that the local high school and Chapel Hill music scenes regard the venue as one of the best places to play in the Triangle area, one that has hosted sold out performances by Beck, Hot Water Music, Cave In, Dismemberment Plan and many other nationally recognized acts.

On behalf of both the Durham underground music scene that grew and thrived in the Coffeehouse as well as the loyal and diverse set of patrons that defined it for years, I second The Chronicle’s position and strongly urge the Office of Student Activities and Facilities to provide the necessary resources and allow those who know it best to maintain the culture and revered role the Coffeehouse has played for over a decade.

Presidential election an empty choice

ontherecord

Est. 1905

letterstotheeditor

in

The Sept. 15 staff editorial in The Chronicle repeated the false meme that the upcoming presidential election “could be the most important election of our generation.” To see how preposterous this claim is, one need only take a quick and honest look at both of the main party candidates.

President George W. Bush, the War President, has sacrificed the country’s economic future by borrowing large sums of money, all to pay for two losing wars. His record of ineptitude should preclude Bush from winning a second term. It doesn’t, however, when you realize that his opponent, John Kerry, has the exact same policy as Bush concerning Iraq and Afghanistan. The argument by Kerry partisans is that he would run Bush’s foreign policy better than Bush has, which is not exacdy a compelling reason to elect him. Moreover, this assumes Kerry’s absurd claim that he can talk other countries into participating in an occupation that is clearly a bloody and expensive failure.

You can vote for whomever you please, just as long as you vote for a candidate who will continue the occupation of Iraq, run up huge

deficits to pay for a vast and growing military and continue the quixotic practice of forcing other, nations to adopt a “democracy” amenable to U.S. interests.

If you object to any of these positions, then the choice between Bush and Kerry is little more than a Soviet election, a sham in which your party winning the election becomes more important than actually getting what you want.

Instead of publishing a weekly point/counterpoint in which the Bush and Kerry supporters adopt similar positions on vague topics like “foreign policy,” perhaps The Chronicle could solicit questions from Duke students and then publish the responses, responses which are not limited to supporters of the two main candidates.

In any case, The Chronicle needs to justify its claim that the election is of great importance to Duke students and that the outcome will have a profound effect on the average student’s life.

Why can’t we be friends DUPD? ,

Psst...

DUPD, I have a little secret that I think you should know. I know this might come as a bit of a shock, but college students, well, we drink. And we party. Sometimes, we do both. Yes, it is true and I’m sorry to be the one to break the news, but I feel like you should know.

I’m only telling you this because I think I can trust you. After all, you protect us from the real bad guys on campus: drunk frat boys. Recently, however, the frat boys have been dethroned as the biggest threat on campus. Now, we have gun-wielding people looking to rob and/or hurt us. So, I propose that you guys give us college students a break and fight some real crime.

I’m not going to point out the obvious, that citations for drunken students at KA’s frottage party were being handed out as others were being robbed... or maybe I am. I understand that sometimes you get cabin fever. If you don’t ticket somebody every five hours, you get all antsy-in-yourpantsy; but I think that in the big picture, we have bigger problems than parking anywhere but Blue Lot. Henry, guitarist for Kody —with a K—told me he saw a car on Central Camji m pus that was issued a ticket at 1:27 a.m. “mornSaturday ing.” Now, if I’m not that mistaken, would be around Sarah kwak the time between the skwak box the two robberies that took place last weekend. Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

Now, don’t get me wrong. I get it. You just need to do your jobs, and I respect that. I know that you’re just looking out for the public’s safety... kind of. And I also know that crime happens. Even with a million Robocops on Segways, crime will find away to happen (see Minority Report).

I was really pleased to see more police patrols on campus this week. It indeed gave me a strong sense of security and safety, especially at night.

The real test, however, will come in the future.

Who will you be looking for? Who will you be punishing? I want to say that you will undoubtedly keep us safe from people who truly threaten our safety, but part of me is afraid that you will do what you have done best the past few years: break up parties.

You know, we avoid you like the plague. When we hear “5-0” or “cam-po,” we cringe, get all nervous and run away. This does not speak highly of your reputation among young people. Why, you ask? It’s because we’re afraid of what you will do.

We don’t see you as helping or protecting us when you come into a house and tell everybody to go home drunk and sometimes alone.

This brings me back to that aforementioned secret. Please note that I wrote “college students,” and not just “Duke students.” I make this distinction clear because this is not exclusive to our campus. Whether you like it or not, students will find away to drink. We will buy alcohol with our fake IDs, drink it in secrecy and hope to God you won’t slap us with a citation. Though, even if you do bust us for having booze illegally, chances are, you will NOT deter us from drinking again. Sorry. On the other hand, being caught may make a robber or sexual assaultant think twice before pulling a gun on another person.

So, I urge you to continue patrolling the poorly lit areas of campus. I urge you to smile at us on the paths because we’re not supposed to be fighting each other. I urge you to continue to be a presence on this and every campus.

I know this is a two-way street, and we will try to make your job easier. We won’t leave ourselves quite as susceptible to crime. We will practice partying responsibly, I hope. And, we will thank you.

We will return those smiles because we will know that your primary objective is to keep us safe.

DUPD, I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (.

BROAD NEW WORLD Renaissance man takes Duke helm with much aplomb Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

is a world-renowned scholar of American literature, a self-described product of the 19605, a speaker known for his captivating remarks, a father who loves Charlie Kaufman movies. Saturday afternoon, Duke University will officially inaugurate Richard Halleck Brodhead as its ninth president.

As Brodhead and formally attired delegates march down the aisle of Duke Chapel, as audiences fill nearby Page Auditorium and Reynolds and Griffith Theaters in hopes of catching a word of his piped-in inaugural speech, Duke will have its eyes on a leader many laud as poised and committed, seasoned but refreshing, confident yet modest.

Beyond Brodhead’s considerable list of publications, awards and appointments, he is a genuine teacher at heart.

“There’s one part of my life where I’m president of Duke University,” he said recently, “and another where I’m just another citizen of Durham.”

And despite all of the acclaim his speeches have received and the accolades he has already drawn at Duke for his convocation address this August, he intensely readied his inauguration remarks.

“It’s actually a fairly difficult genre—the inaugural speech —because there’s so many things one wants to talk about,” Brodhead said.

“It’s not a State of the Union address. It’s not full of single sentence applause lines. One of the things you find when you try to write such a speech is that you don’t have much time.”

Colleagues say Brodhead is a brilliant thinker, a man who has always made calculated decisions.

He was born in 1947 in Dayton, Ohio. His parents had met during World War II at the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, named after the famous flying Wright Brothers of Kitty Hawk, N.C., fame. Brodhead referenced his North Carolina ties during his presidential appointment speech in Perkins Library last December.

Conn., when Richard was six years old.

The elder of two boys, he went to public schools before attending Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts. After Andover it was on to Yale University, a place he wouldn’t leave for 40 years.

From the moment he entered the gates of Branson College at Yale, Brodhead was a true scholar. His passion was learning, and he soon cultivated a love of American literature.

He wasn’t a member of a fraternity, though his mother, father and brother were involved in greek life. Instead he joined one of Yale’s secret sociedes. The tumultuous 19605, including the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., left long-lasdng impressions on his life and affirmed his beliefs in equality, he said.

In Spring 1968 Brodhead graduated summa cum laude in English, and he entered Yale’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that fall, where he met a fellow graduate student named Cynthia Degnan. They were married by the end of their second year.

Brodhead finished his doctorate in English in 1972 and quickly earned a teaching placement at his alma mater. As a

member of the junior faculty, he taught immensely popular courses in 19th-century American literature and earned the prestigious William Clyde DeVane Medal for teaching in 1979, even though he was

that year. He served for many years as diundergraduate studies for the English department and was named a full professor in 1985. He then rose to chair the department in 1987 and six years later

By 1980 Brodhead had already turned down tenured positions at other universities, feeling compelled to stay at Yale. His devotion paid off, earning him tenure

was appointed dean of Yale College. He was named the A. Bartlett Giamatti Professor of English and American Studies in 1995, a prestigious post that reflected his loves of American literature, teaching and scholarly research.

Brodhead’s research first brought him North Carolina when his work focused on the diaries of Charles W. Chcstnutt, a noted black post-Civil War author. After Brodhead spent time researching postemancipation history in the state, Duke University Press published his two editions of Chestnutfs writings in 1993.

His other publications have focused on a variety ofAmerican authors, and he has received particular acclaim for his study of Herman Melville and Moby Dick.

Brodhead, many say, has endearing qualities found in few of today’s administrators: a heartening connection to the community and particularly students, a real love for the intellectual and the ability to motivate and charm.

“It’s not a coincidence that he’s our finest scholar of Emerson, Hawthorne, Melville, Chestnutt, Whitman and Dickinson,” said Duke English professor Tom Ferraro, who studied under Brodhead as a Yale graduate student. “They were visionaries—intellectual polymaths—writing to put it all together. So is he.”

As dean of Yale College, it was Brodhead’s strong focus on undergraduate academics that inspired him to lead an intensive curriculum review, modeled somewhat after Duke’s own Curriculum 2000 analysis. to

The

Hockfield is still provost at Yale so she is not MlT’s official delegate to the inauguration. After serving as dean of the Graduate School at Yale for 2002, this December she will assume the presidency of MIT.

The Presidents PETER GEBHARD/THE CHRONICLE “Dick Brodhead is one of the finest edgeneration and one of the greatest deans in Yale’s 300-year history,” Yale president Richard Levin said when it was announced that Brodhead would be leaving for Duke. “It is difficult to imagine Yale without him. Duke’s students, faculty and alumni will find him an inspiration.”

At Yale, Brodhead was known for making impromptu visits to studentresidences.

It is that type offirst-hand involvement and initiative that will successfully help him lead Duke, many say.

“I suspect we’re going to take a turn of the crank,” Provost Peter Lange said.

“Crank up our ambitions a little bit, crank up our aspirations, crank up what we need to do to get there.”

Administrators at the University recognize that with Brodhead at the helm, Duke will have no choice but to continue to focus intently on building the excellence of its schools, programs and health system.

“It’s very helpful that he has a lifetime of accomplishment at a peer institution,” said George McLendon, dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences. “He’s very excited about those strengths unique to Duke.”

And though students, faculty and administrators—both at Duke and Yale ucators of his

alike—laud him as a visionary intellectual beacon, no one, it appears, can describe Brodhead without mentioning his sense of humor.

“He is an extremely intelligent leader who leavens his insights and encouragements with a great sense of humor,” Lange said.

Perhaps it is that humor which has helped Brodhead tackle, only three months into office, a full plate of campus issues, including the possible departure of men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and recent incidents on and near campus that have raised concerns about safety. But he doesn’t shy from the task.

“If you want to have a job where nothing difficult comes up, you oughtn’t take a job as a university president,” he said.

It is with that infectious optimism and ambition that many see Brodhead taking Duke into the future, leading with a willingness to get his own feet wet.

“You know, if there’s a party next door, you can do one of two things,” he said. “Go somewhere else or join the party.”

Brodhead, it seems, is already playing host.

Paul Crowley and Kelly Rohrs contributed to this story.

In the past few years, Yale has experienced an exile of top administrators. Brodhead is just one man in a longish list of people who have gone on to become the heads ofother prestigious univer-

Levin has been in charge of Yale since 1993. He was Brodhead’s boss for more than 10 years, but now Brodhead finally joins the presidential ranks with him.

Richard is the principal academic and administrative office at the University of Cambridge in England. From 1994 until 2002, the British scholar served as provost of Yale.

These people all came before Brodhead and steered this University to the place where he finds it. They are responsible, in large part, for Duke’s strong grounding in the disciplines and the world-class position that it holds today.
