The only way Carl Harvey graduated from Duke last year was by signing papers.

He signed federal forms and loan applications, scholarship acceptances and a slew of other docume nts. As a double major in English and public policy, he wrote plenty of papers too, but it was an extensive financial aid package and a parade of forms that covered the cost of his college education.

“I have not a single negative thing to say about Duke financial aid,” he said. “Basically, I just signed stuff, and they paid for everything.”

The University has pledged that its primary priority is keeping its gates open to students like Harvey who have earned access to Duke’s aca-

About a year ago, University administrators realized that they were failing to consider the effects that financial aid dependence has on students currently enrolled. After years of using matriculation numbers as a barometer for success, the University is now developing ways of comprehensively examining the experience of financial aid.

Students push tailgate changes A&S dominates Founder’s Day talk by

Jake Poses

and Mike Van Pelt THE CHRONICLE

Clean up tailgating, or risk potential administrative intervention. That’s the message student leaders are sending to undergraduates in advance of Saturday’s Homecoming game against The Citadel.

Duke Student Government President Pasha Majdi and Interfraternity Council President Will Connolly are spearheading a lastminute effort to encourage more responsible tailgating. A coalition of campus leaders met with administrators and Athletic Department officials Thursday night to discuss concerns about last weekend’s tailgate and reached agreements about the necessary changes. The initiative comes as athletics works to boost lagging student attendance at football games.

“I was very, very impressed with the fact that in a short amount of time they were able to get that much student leadership in one spot,” said Jon Jackson, assistant director of athletics for communication and media relations. He added that all parties left the meeting satisfied with the

As part of their effort to inform to

President Richard Brodhead conferred awards upon alumni, faculty, students and staff for academic excellence and service to the University. Trustee emeritus Roy Bostock, Trinity ’62, cited the need to emphasize and perhaps revamp the undergraduate experience, both inside and outside the classroom.

“No other university is like Duke,” Bostock said in his convocation address. “We do not aspire to [emulate other universities]. We aspire to be better than we were yesterday, better than we were a week ago.

Iraq bombings kill 35, hurt many by

Alexandra Zavis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A string of bombs BAGHDAD, Iraq killed 35 children and wounded scores of others as U.S. troops handed out candy Thursday at a government-sponsored celebration to inaugurate a sewage plant. It was the largest death toll of children in any insurgent attack since the start of the Iraq conflict.

Grief-stricken mothers wailed over their children’s bloodied corpses, as relatives collected body parts from the street for burial and a boy picked up the damaged bicycle ofhis dead brother.

The wounded were rushed to Yarmouk Hospital, where angry relatives screamed for attention from the overwhelmed doctors, many ofwhom wore uniforms covered in blood. One woman tore at her hair before pulling back the sheet covering her dead brother and kissing his body.

The bombings in Baghdad’s western alAmel neighborhood —at least two of which were in cars —came amid a series of savage attacks that killed at least 51 people and wounded 230 nationwide. At least one U.S. soldier was among the dead and 13 were wounded.

Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s Tawhid and Jihad group claimed responsibility for bloody attacks in Baghdad Thursday, according to a statement posted on a militant Web site.

The authenticity of the statement could not be verified, and it was unclear whether the three “heroic operations” it cites—attacks on a government complex and “a convoy of invading forces” —included the bombs that killed the children.

Early reports said a U.S. convoy was SEE BAGHDAD ON PAGE 12

Israelis strike Palestinian refugee camp by

Ibrahim Barzak

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gaza Strip Israeli troops struck inside the Palestinian largest refugee camp Thursday in an deep unprecedented campaign to stop deadly rocket fire on Israeli towns. Twenty-eight Palestinians were killed and 131 wounded, the bloodiest single-day toll in fighting in 30 months.

Three Israelis—two soldiers and an Israeli woman jogger—were killed in two Palestinian shooting attacks in northern Gaza.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon approved a large-scale military operation in the northern Gaza Strip after meeting with advisers late Thursday, an Israeli official said. The plan was a response to the killing of two Israeli children, ages two and four, by a Hamas rocket attack on an Israeli border town Wednesday. However, he stopped short of ordering a call-up of reserves.

The approval clears the way for Israeli troops to move in force into the Palestinian towns of Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and the

sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp, an official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The army’s push Thursday into the center ofJebaliya—a first in four years of fighting —signaled a change in military tactics.

Since fighting erupted in 2000, the military has refrained from reoccupying large areas of crowded Gaza for long periods, for fear of getting bogged down in urban combat. The army has felt less constrained in the less densely populated West Bank.

Armored vehicles rolled into squalid Jebaliya, a militant stronghold with 106,000 residents, Thursday morning. Throughout the day, masked Palestinians taking cover in camp alleys fired assault rifles—and occasionally anti-tank missiles and grenades—at tanks, which responded with machine-guns. Militants were seen laying explosive charges and unraveling detonation wire.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan expressed grave concern at the escalation of violence and “especially mourns the death and injuries of children,” U.N. spokesperson Fred Eckhard said.

tacks, American Civil Liberties Union President Nadine Strossen spoke to a diverse crowd of students and Durham residents Thursday.

Many of the ACLU’s efforts since September 2001 reflect the organization’s concerns with the Patriot Act, the 342page law that was passed 45 days after the Sept. 11 attacks and greatly increased governmental powers of surveillance.

“We have a little competition,” Strossen said before beginning her remarks, conscious of many attendees’ parallel interest in watching the presidential candidates’ televisedface-off. “We couldn’t get them to reschedule their debate.”

Strossen said the Patriot Act was enacted on the faulty perception of governmental inability to gather information. “The

Strossen repeatedly emphasized that criticism of the Patriot Act has not been limited to the political minority.

“We’ve all seen the demonization or simplification that everyone making these criticisms is participating in partisan sniping,” she said. “But the opposition to the unjustified violation of freedom and privacy cuts across party lines.”

She noted that the harshest indictmentof the Patriot Act came from Rep. Don Young, a staunch Republican from Alas-

ka, who called the law “the worst legislation we have ever passed.’”

Strossen described the difficulty of challenging legislation that allows inherently secretive actions on the part of the government. Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which she said states that the “government can get any tangible item, from anyone who holds it, about any of us,” includes what she called a “gag order” on anyone ordered to submit information about another party. Strossen said this section and others violate several amendments in the Bill of Rights.

Just Wednesday, Strossen said, the ACLU won a suit about a lesser-known section of the Patriot Act. Like Section 215, Section 505 pertains to governmental informationseeking, but without the court as an intercessor. “The record-holder cannot protest, and there’s the same gag order [as in 215],” SEE ACLU ON PAGE 12

It was December 1905, and a pair of students at Trinity College wanted to start a newspaper, but they didn’t have the money. So Tom Stokes and U.N. Hoffman—l9o7 graduates of the school that would become Ditke—turned to the two literary societies on campus and convinced them to fund a newspaper.

About two weeks later, The Trinity Chronicle published its first issue. Since then, more than justthe name has changed.

The Chronicle now boasts a $1.3 million annual operating budget, an incorporated firm with a board of directors and no official ties to the University that spawned it. And what used to be a gossip sheet with pages full of faculty happenings and beauty pageant winners has become a forum for community discussion, University administrators and former staff members said.

“You get chills looking at all the old front pages,” said Ann Pelham, Trinity ’74, chair of the Duke Student Publishing Company Board of Directors and editor of the 69th volume ofThe Chronicle. “It’s just amazing that over so much time the paper has managed to continue and be of high quality, making sure the campus is informed and that debate is not in a vacuum.”

This weekend The Chronicle will celebrate its 100th birthday with parties and panels and plans for the future. Roughly 150 Chronicle alumni will descend upon campus to rehash old memories of late nights in suite 301 of the Flowers Building, where students have produced The Chronicle for several decades.

The editorial content is generated by a core group of about 20 undergraduates who spend as much as 80 hours a week writing, editing and producing the paper. A SEE CHRONICLE ON PAGE 14

When fishnet stockings appear; its time to dance by

Kate Stamell

THE CHRONICLE

Serious and uptight Duke students beware: KAADATT could be dancing around any corner.

Members ofKids All About Dancing All the Time, a new spontaneous dance club, will shimmy, twirl and leap in the most unlikely places—and even you may have to bust a move.

Led by junior Colin Crowe, 12 to 18 club members danced beneath the Bryan Center walkway arch to the beats of Paula Abdul, Justin Timberlake and popular show tunes Wednesday afternoon.

“I would like to take credit for the idea, but it’s not mine,” Crowe said. The club originated at Macalester College in Minnesota last year; since then it has expanded to Harvard University and the North Carolina School of the Arts.

The Macalester, Harvard, NCSA and Duke clubs share three basic rules. First, the leader must always dance in neon yellow fishnet stockings and a white headband painted with the word “KAADATT.” Second, every' dance meeting must end with Paul Simon’s “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard.” And finally, every member of

the group must stop and dance when they see a fire truck with lights on because, as the dancers say, those are the best dance lights.

The group prefers ’Bos and ’9os “trash”—as Crowe put it, “whatever’s got a fast beat.” When 5:15 p.m. rolled around Wednesday, “Sweet Home Alabama” reverberated through the arch, and students could hear the music all the way down the walkway.

As sophomore Bradford Morris moonwalked and did the rabbit, he grabbed unsuspecting students on their way to class.

“Sometimes I spin around on them and see if I can get them to dance,” Morris said as he continued to move his feet to the Dirty Dancing theme song, “The Time of My Life.” “It breaks social barriers—a planned moment going against the mold.”

Dressed in red plaid pants and a tie-dyed International Delights T-shirt, Morris kicked off his flip-flops before dancing.

Senior Jen Davis requested “Dance with Me” just as juniors Lee Melchionni and Shelden Williams quickly walked through, trying not to provoke the dancers spinning around them. They PETER

Duke University Union is bringing a little bit of Deutchland to Durham today with Oktoberfest, Duke’s annual version of the famed Munich festival. This year, Oktoberfest will have several features beyond those of its German counterpart, most notably a former star of MTV’s The Real World and a musical group featuring Duke alumni.

“Oktoberfest is Duke’s version of a fall carnival with German flair,” said Will Case, a graduate student in chemistry, chair of the Union’s Special Events Committee. “As a festival we bring in outside foods and crafts vendors, we’ll have live entertainment... and beer will be sold in the afternoon.”

Oktoberfest will also feature vendors from across the Southeast selling crafts and jewelry and booths serving ethnic food. The most novel aspect of this year’s Oktoberfest is that beer will be sold on food points in addition to FLEX; in other respects, this year will resemble

the popular festivities of years past.

“It’s really hard to pin a number on turnout, but Oktoberfest is always well-attended,” Union President Kevin Parker said.

The attendance should be boosted by the presence of Cameran, the Southern belle from MTV’s The Real World: San Diego, who will be acting as the guest master of ceremoniesfor the event’s performances. The musical acts will be headlined by Kenin, a Washington, D.C.-based band featuring two recent Duke graduates.

“The day show will be chilled 0ut.... There’ll be maybe one to two covers per set; we always try to play as many originals as possible—that’s been kind of our schtick,” said Devin McGaughey, Trinity ‘O3, Kenin’s drummer.

“The problem with Durham is that there aren’t that many great venues. Since we’re from Duke we wanted to come back, but it’s tough without big events like Oktoberfest and the big quad show.”

No love lost for Heart of Durham City begins destruction of infamous downtown motel, making way for transit hub Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

by

There was no heartbreak for this hotel Community leaders and Durham residents gathered Thursday to toast the scheduled demolition of one of Durham’s most notorious and well-known blemishes, the Heart of Durham motel.

Located near downtown Durham on the corner ofPettigrew and West Chapel Hill streets, the boomerangshaped motel built in 1968 was once one of the city’s finest establishments. After being closed for nearly a decade and years of legal wrangling over issues of imminent domain, asbestos clean-up and price negotiation, the deal is done—Durham will pay $1.4 million for the site, well worth the faded red bricks and three floors of disintegrating plaster, residents say.

“A lot of people in the community have said, ‘Gee, we want to see... or be a part of it coming down,’” said Beverly Thompson, spokesperson for the city of Durham. “It is a ceremony to celebrate the fact that this eyesore is coming down.”

The end of one of downtown Durham’s most notorious blights is also a symbolic act, leaders say. This is the beginning of the future of the area, they argue, a senti-

After Braveheart, alum pens novel CC mulls quadrangle by

Robert Samuel

THE CHRONICLE

He was a Duke religion major who ended up in Hollywood. Struggling as a musician, he was unable to explain to his friends and family in Lynchburg, Va., why he did not take a more traditional route. All he knew about life was that he must be a writer.

Thirty years later, Randall Wallace, Trinity ’7l, made a trip back to his alma mater as a New York Times best-selling author with an Academy Award-nominated screenplay for Braveheart to his credit. Wallace said his journey was at times lonely and depressing, but ultimately rewarding and successful.

Wallace developed his natural proclivity for writing after an early experience that indicated his gift.

“There was a city-wide poetry contest for the elementary schools, and the teacher told each of us to write a poem,” he said. Despite his efforts, his poem was rejected as his teacher charged him with plagiarism. “I realized at the age of the seven that, ‘She thinks I stole the poem,’ so it must have been a pretty good poem.”

Wallace’s aptitude for writing only increased as he progressed through school.

Once Wallace enrolled at Duke, he applied for the renowned James B. Duke Professor of English Reynolds Price’s competitive creative writing class, certain of rejection; yet his talent had not gone

unrecognized.

Although Wallace had always loved writing, only through his relationship with Price did he develop a formal model on whom to base a professional career.

In his spare time, Wallace pursued other creative oudets, including music. As

Fidelia Thomason, director of residence hall operations, and Timothy Henshaw, fire protection specialist for the University, offered an administrative and safety perspective about the feasibility of the Quad Council Autonomy Resolution.

The resolution, first proposed in mid-September, would urge Residence Life and Housing Services to allow quad councils greater freedom in personalizing the interior common areas of their dormitories.

Thomason, speaking on behalf of RLHS, noted that any changes or additions to the common areas would still have to be passed by facilities managers and residence coordinators.

Henshaw informed members of fire code regulations that would restrict certain hallway decorations. He concentrated on the danger of “home-made” decor and the necessity of the fire department’s approval of any major alterations to the hallways and common areas.

Formerly known as Raleigh Community Hospital, the name was changed June 1, 2004. The name change was implemented to demonstrate Duke’s ownership of the hospital, taken over six years earlier.

“We did not want to change the name to show the partnership until we had made changes in the hospital that were reflective of Duke,” Hollis said. “Once we added more services, such as the cancer and cardiology programs, we felt we were ready to make the name change.” than in the past,” Parker said. “We’ve been working very closely with the alumni affairs office....

At the festival, food vendors will accept cash and FLEX points, but it will also be possible for students to use food points to buy tickets—likened to “Monopoly money” by the event’s organizers—that can be redeemed for food and beverages.

will be adopted—nor would they drastically change financial aid.

non-financial aid students,” Provost Peter Lange said.

He commissioned a year-long study of financial aid—the first in more than a decade—and is currendy choosing from among dozens ofrecommendations for improvement. As the University mulls its immediate options, it is haunted by the need to permanendy fund the entire aid program—a nearly $1 billion undertaking.

“If it’s only moving pieces around on the same chessboard, there’s not much we can do,” said George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences. “If we’re just talking about slicing the pie in some different ways, there’s not much we can do.

“We’re in a position where we need to make more pie.”

The Base of Capital In President Richard Brodhead’s inaugural address Sept. 18, he virtually announced that the next capital campaign will create an endowment for aid. “Recruiting the support to assure that this school never closes its doors to a worthy applicant will be a project especially dear to my heart,” he said.

With the current resources, the University cannot even consider wholesale improvements to financial aid such as increasing grants or capping tuition.

Duke’s endowment, which now totals $2.7 billion, is not sufficient for the needs of the financial aid program, so the University must take money from its annual working budget.

As administrators look to the long-term future of aid and discuss ways to elevate Duke, they are talking about ways to raise the nearly $1 billion necessary to fully endow financial aid.

“If we don’t make a choice to strengthen the endowment now, it won’t immediately affect the current generation of students, but it would affect the future Dukies among their children,” McLendon said.

Tuition, room and board has steadily climbed and will likely exceed $40,000 next year. The University’s ability to provide financial assistance has kept pace with the increases, and most aided families still pay_ about the same amount to send their children to Duke.

The additional costs have fallen upon the University. In the 1999-2000 school year, the financial aid bill was $24.5 million. Last academic year, Duke paid out $39.5 million.

‘That’s money that could be spent developing more programs and academics,” Lange said.

Duke has, however, put some safeguards in place to prevent its academic programs from being consumed by the growth ofaid.

In 2003, the University capped the rate at which the contribution from Arts and Sciences, the area largely responsible for financial aid costs, could increase.

“We are deeply committed to needblind financial aid,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said. “And for us to say that takes more money directly out of our pocket than anyone else who says it.”

The Promise of Aid Students on financial aid are indistinguishable from unaided students by a variety of indicators, administrators said. Aided students, however, are less likely to participate in programs, such as study abroad and summer internships, that limited their ability to hold paying jobs.

Senior Jennifer Beall said her financial needs factored into her decision to become a resident assistant for a year. “I didn’t feel forced to do it, but I knew that it would make a big difference,” she said.

Since she could not afford to spend summers at low-paying internships, Beall took eight months off school to work fulltime before her senior year.

The University thinks that despite its dearth of funds, it can have an immediate impact on students like Beall, who stretch the limits to stay at Duke.

One of the proposed reforms is to waive the summer earnings requirement for students who spend their summers at internships with academic or career merit.

Sheila Curran, executive director of the Career Center, said that her office sees fewer aided students searching for internships because they opt for higher-paying, lower-skill jobs such as construction.

Another short-term option the University may consider for adjusting financial aid is to allow outside scholarships to lessen the family’s bill rather than detracting from the student’s loan allotments, the area most additional money currendy offsets.

The provost’s review also found a number of “annoyances” in the financial aid policy that had accumulated over time, Lange said. For example, the cost of the required freshman meal plan exceeds the allotment for food in the aid formula.

Recent student fee increases, which now total about $250, have not been factored intoaid packages, and the disparity of room prices across campus also raises issues.

“Making some of these changes that are being offered is making sure that we walk the talk and are really defending our promises,” Lange said. “These are options—not recommendations—because they all involve significant trade-offs.”

In the longer term, Duke will also look at whether students receive enough money to buy their books. “If I hadn’t worked summers, I would never have been able to buy any of my books,” said senior Nick Chong, explaining thatseveral semesters his grades suffered because he could not afford his $l2O textbooks.

He did not want to ask for an emergency loan. “I feel they give me a lot, so I don’t really ask for more unless it’s in the thousands range,” Chong said.

The cost of instituting the majority of reforms in the report would eventually be more than $l5 million annually. While the University will likely find money for some of these programs, it is unlikely all of them

The Challenge of the Ivies At most of Duke’s peer schools, financial aid money is kept separate from the fund for the rest of the university.

Harvard University, Yale University and Princeton University have all revamped their aid programs, making it much easier for students with minimal financial resources to attend. In 2001, Princeton entirely eliminated student loans and now supplies grants for the gap between family contribution and total cost.

Administrators have acknowledged that Duke is not in a financial position to even consider such reforms, although McLendon and Lange have both said it may be an eventual goal.

Lange said the University rarely loses students to other schools primarily due to financial aid, but the report does suggest several options for greater flexibility to choose loans instead of a family contribution.

Since Duke doesn’t have a flashy aid draw, it is trying to make prospective students who write Duke off as too expensive aware of its classic commitment to need-blind aid.

“We talked about how financial aid impacts decisions,” said James Belvin, director for financial aid. ‘The immediate question is: Do the financial aid awards that we offer allow students to matriculate at Duke? And the answer is yes.”

FOUNDER'S

from page 1

Bostock acknowledged that some changes to undergraduate education would be unpopular but said that did

not detract from their necessity.

“We might have to grind some sacred cows into meat loaf in the process —we might have to take some risks,” he said, adding that any improvement to “the heart and soul of this University” would be worth the risk.

Although he did not suggest any specific changes, Bostock singled out the undergraduate curriculum and selective living as areas of the University that were ripe for re-evaluation.

“Do [selective living groups] provide the kinds of experiences we want for undergraduates at our University?” he asked. “Some would say yes; some argue no. I say put it on the table.”

Bostock compared the fearlessness needed to make any major change to the University to the fearlessness exhibited by the celebration’s namesakes, Washington and James B. Duke.

“Were they not focused on the future? Were they not looking forward?” he asked rhetorically. “Our founders were bold and audacious. Let us be true to that heritage.”

University administrators said they were pleased with Rostock’s call for sweeping self-analysis on the part of the University.

“We’re very appreciative of Mr. Rostock’s encouragement that we look at any and all options,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs.

In his first Founder’s Day, Rrodhead presented numerous awards to students, faculty, staff and alumni, including the University Medal for service to Duke to Ernestine Friedl and Samuel Katz.

Friedl, a pioneer for women at Duke, was the University’s first female dean of Arts and Sciences and Trinity College and oversaw the inception of the Department of Women’s Studies.

“Refore it became fashionable to break intellectual boundaries, she was an interdisciplinary thinker,” Rrodhead said.

Katz, former chair of the pediatrics department at the School of Medicine, is a vaccine expert who has worked against such diseases as influenza, rubella and HIV. Most

TAILGATE from page 1 hard liquor to the tailgate.

‘The consequence is that if we don’t make [tailgating] safer, it’s going to shut down—it has to be,” Majdi said.

An increased number of officers from the Duke University Police Department will be present on the periphery of the student tailgating area, Majdi added.

He stressed that student affairs officials said they want tailgating to continue as a spontaneous studentinitiated event.

“It’s a very delicate issue in that they want to let us have our fun, but they also know they are responsible for our safety,” Majdi said, noting that changing the tailgating culture would take time.

In several meetings with student affairs officials, the Athletic Department has emphasized the importance of tailgating in its efforts to bolster student attendance and support. During last week’s game against Maryland, about 1,000 students attended the main student tailgate. Many remained outside the stadium at the game’s start, but Athletic Department officials said they were pleased with the attendance, especially in the second quarter when the Blue Devils took the lead.

Athletics estimates that 3,000 students were among the 16,298 in attendance at the game, but with students moving in and out of the gates, the figure may be artificially inflated.

“It was very noticeable what [the students] were doing for our football team,” head coach Ted Roof said. ‘They were really helping us. I couldn’t impress

the fact ofhow important they are to us.”

The sports promotions department is not planning to make any changes in its methods of attracting fans, said Bart Smith, the department’s director.

Although there were originally plans for the team to participate in Oktoberfest events Friday afternoon, the coaches and players do not plan to appear.

Smith canceled a pep rally planned for the Great Hall last Thursday when very few students came to the event.

Even without any additional publicity this week, Smith said he hopes more students will make their way to the game because of its 2 p.m. start time than were present at last week’s noon kickoff.

“Obviously it gives more people time to get up and get going and do all those types of things,” Smith said. “Hopefully it will improve things.”

Plans for a bluegrass band performance from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. sponsored by the Kappa Alpha Order in conjunction with members of off-campus fraternity Eta Prime were canceled because University administration refused to register the event, student organizers said.

“Right now, the tailgating as it’s organized, is basically spontaneous —it’s not a registered event,” Wasiolek said. “By adding a band, which requires electricity or staging or whatever, the event would therefore need to be registered. Someone would need to be in a position to take responsibility for the event, the event being tailgating—not just one small portion.”

Connolly said he hoped to plan concerts and other activities for upcoming tailgates, but no such events are lined up for Saturday.

Deputy Interior Minister Gen. Hussein Ali Kamal said intense military pressure on insurgents holed up in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, was forcing them to turn their bombs on the capital. He said the day’s attacks were “definitely coordinated.”

‘They are killing citizens and spreading horror. They have no aims except killing as many Iraqis as they can,” Kamal

American jets, tanks and artillery units have repeatedly targeted al-Zarqawi’s followers in Fallujah, as coalition forces seek to assert control over insurgent enclaves ahead of elections slated for January.

launched a brigade-sized operation in Samarra, one of the country’s major insurgent strongholds, according to a CNN reporter embedded with the military in the area. Brigade operations could involve several thousand troops.

The report, broadcast early Friday, said the troops were moving against some 2,000 rebels believed to be inside the city.

They were clearing buildings and mosques, CNN said.

After the bombings at the governmentsponsored celebration in the capital, Yarmouk Hospital received 42 bodies, including 35 children, said Dr. Azhar Zeid.

The hospital also treated 131 wounded, 72 of them under age 14, added Dr. Mohammed Salaheddin.

Interior Ministry spokesperson Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman said a car bomb and an explosive device planted in the road detonated in quick succession at the site of the celebration. Soon afterward, a second car bomb plowed into the area as crowds rushed to help the wounded, he said.

ACLU from page 3 Strossen said. She said the section is so sensitive that the ACLU’s litigation team had to file its lawsuit under seal April 6 and could not publicize the suit until a Unionwide memo went out April 28.

“Even I, as the president of the ACLU, did not know our lawyers had submitted this lawsuit until several weeks later,” she said. She repeatedly expressed her disbelief at the secrecy—necessitated by the Patriot Act—required to challenge a federal statute on constitutional grounds.

Every time the ACLU defeats an “Orwellian proposal,” another with a different acronym arises in an attempt to accomplish the same ends, Strossen said.

Despite constant efforts by the ACLU to challenge perceived infringements on

civil liberties, Strossen said she was encouraged that courts were thus far fulfilling their responsibility to balance against the other branches of government.

She said some legislative proposals following the PatriotAct were intended to be serious but had in fact reached the point of absurdity. The Total Information Awareness Act, for example, sought to make all private information available to the government without regard to potential threat. The act’s logo, which featured a pyramid with an eye at the pinnacle, struck one Silicon Valley software executive as a policy move designed to generate satire. To illustrate her example, Strossen lifted a logo-bearing thong.

Continuing with the apparel theme, Strossen quoted her favorite ACLU Tshirt. “You have the right not to remain silent,” she said.

WALLACE from page 6 writing screenplays throughout the 1980s, although none of his works made it to the theaters. He also published his first novel, The Russian Rose, in 1980, which was based on one of his screenplays. After publishing another book, he was finally beginning to find his voice as a writer. “[Price] told me writers oftentimes develop their voices later in life,” he said. ‘That’s exacdy what happened to me.”

Wallace wrote steadily for four years and produced 1,600 pages of manuscript for his masterpiece, yet no publisher would touch the piece.

So Wallace once again concentrated on being a screenwriter. Success was sweet when a Wallace screenplay finally made it to the big screen in 1995. Although Braveheart told the obscure story of a 13th century Scottish rebellion, the movie became an instant classic. The Mel Gibson-directed piece won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Braveheart lifted Wallace into the upper echelon of Hollywood writers. His career has blossomed as he has both written and directed several major motion pictures, including Man in the Iron Mask and We Were Soldiers.

His success has allowed him to finally publish a succinct version of his 1,600-page manuscript. Entitled Love and Honor, the novel follows an American Revolution soldier’s journey to Russia in the hopes of dissuading Catherine the Great from sending troops to help the British defeat the American insurgency.

Wallace’s return to the Triangle area has been marked by his new role as member of the Divinity School’s Board of Visitors and the promotion ofLove and Honor.

After a reading at Branch’s Book Shop in Chapel Hill, individuals at the event were pleased to see how grounded Wallace is.

“I am awed by his work and I am awed by him as a person,” said Kate Branch, Wallace’s friend and owner of Branch’s Book Shop “He’s the most genuine, authentic person.”

Additionally, Wallace has found time on his trip to the Triangle to spend with his son, Andrew, a junior at Duke.

“It’s pretty cool,” Andrew Wallace said, in reference to his father’s fame. “He’s spoken at Duke a few times while I’ve been there.”

CHRONICLE from page 3 professional staff ofadvertising and business personnel provide some consistency to the paper’s structure. Since becoming in-

dependent of the University in 1993, the paper has functioned as a hybrid of a student group and a professional organization.

Constant leadership change, however, has occasionally led to inconsistencies of quality, University officials said.

Nonetheless, the newspaper has been a crucial part of campus culture throughout its history as both a community forum and a vehicle for education.

“While there are times we might gnash our teeth over the way The Chronicle handles a particular story, I think there’s a general recognition that this is a part of the learning process and there are times to be supportive,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “It serves the role any good newspaper does in the community—which is providing a forum for discussion of the issues the community faces.”

Even as daily production plows ahead, Chronicle administration recognizes that long-term plans for the paper must be developed. The Board of Directors, comprised ofalumni and several community members, is trying to determine its role in planning for the publication's future.

“We’re just stewards. We’re just on the sidelines trying to make sure that there’s enough money to put the paper out,” Pelham said. “I don’t think we know what happens 10 years from now. I think it’s hard for the students on the ground to plan long-term while putting the newspaper out.”

She added that The Chronicle does need to think ahead in order to keep pace with the way information flows. Several discussions this weekend will hopefully set the stage for The Chronicle’s long-term planning.

Many students now do the crossword puzzle before they read the newspaper’s content, but junior Karen Hauptman, the current editor, said The Chronicle still has an important role to play in educating its readership.

“If we’re doing our job right, then everyone who’s reading the paper is finding out something he didn’t know,” she said, noting that most University announcements are now made through other avenues. “We’re no longer just telling students what the administration said or just telling the administration what students said. There is value in seeing everything in one place at one time.”

Members of KAADAT have their very own dance party on the Bryan Center walkway, inviting passers-by to join in.

Some students stopped and debated whether to walk through the archway, deciding to grin and bear it in order to take the fastest route to the Great Hall and The

Senior Patrick Winter expressed shock at the dancers. “It’s just random to see people dancing in the middle of the day,” Winter said.

“I think it’s kind of cool,” she said Junior Lea Harrell was walking through the archway when she decided to break it down. “I just like to dance,” she said, introducing herself to KAADATT member Meredith Tenison, also a junior.

Wednesday’s KAADATT dance party ended just as spontaneously as it began. Crowe said she plans to bring the group to a number of locations, including the Marketplace on East Campus to “scare some freshmen.” But she urged people not to wait for the next spontaneous meeting to get involved. “It’s not just about dancing some of the time,” she said, “it’s about dancing all of the time.”

Undefeated Duke hosts Tar Heels by

Galen Vaisman THE CHRONICLE

Going into Sunday’s 7 p.m. matchup against rival North Carolina at Koskinen Stadium, the No. 7 Blue Devils are on a roll. Following their eighth shutout of the season Wednesday night, Duke (10-0, 2-0

in the ACC) is off to its best start since 1982—when the team advanced to the national tide game—and has outscored its opponents 33-3.

Named the preseason favorite to win the ACC, North Carolina was supposed to have the edge entering Sunday’s game. Instead, the Tar Heels (2-4-2, 1-0) have been plagued by a combination of tough scheduling and inconsistent play, leading to only one win in their last six matches. Most recendy, No. 2 UNC-Greensboro shut out the Tar Heels 1-0 Wednesday night.

What a difference a year makes.

When the teams met in Chapel Hill last year, the Blue Devils were 2-4-1 and in the midst of a severe downslide. The Tar Heels, on the other hand, were 5-1-1 and ranked No. 8 in the country.

Playing in front of the third-largest crowd in UNC men’s soccer history, the Blue Devils were able to hang around and take the Tar Heels into double-overtime but ultimately lost 3-2 on a free kick in the 109th minute.

“Our players just need to realize that this game takes on a life of its own, and there’s no way to predict or project what’s going to happen,” Duke head coach John Rennie said. “It’s going to be filled with a lot of emotion, and both sides are going to SEE MEN’S SOCCER ON PAGE 19

Duke hunts for first victory by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

The key word for the Duke football team (0-4) this Homecoming weekend is

improvement. In an ACC matchup, improvement alone might be considered a moral victory—but against the winless

Citadel (0-2), significant progress may be enough to yield a win.

To get that win, head coach Ted Roof wants to see improvement from top to bottom.

“We all have to play better, coach better—we’ve all got to do it all better,” Roof said.

When Roof says all, he is not just talk-

ing about the team itself. He means the entire program, including the fans.

“I want to thank the fans that came out last weekend, and at the same time encourage fans to please come out [Saturday at 2 p.m.],” Roof said. “It makes a difference, it really does. It makes a difference for our players, it makes a difference for recruiting, it makes a difference for the perception of our program and how we support our own school. I was very thankful for the people that did come, and I would like more to come this time.”

Wallace Wade Stadium was half full last week as No. 23 Maryland handed Duke a 55-21 shellacking in which the Terps

scored 38 unanswered points. After losing badly in many areas, including time of

possession (41:22 to 18:38), first downs (35 to 8) and total yards (685 to 185), the players realize they need to put one in the left column Saturday.

“We’re desperate for our first win just so we can get this thing going,” sophomore defensive tackle Casey Camero said.

“We’ve played well in spurts, but haven’t been able to sustain it long enough.”

The Bulldogs, a Division I-AA team, are coming off a major loss in its own right, suffering a 33-3 defeat at the hands SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 21

Seventy-nine years ago, Homecoming was quite different Back in 1925, the year Homecoming at Duke was conceived, Duke had just become a University. West Campus had not even been built and the Blue Devils played football on Hanes Field, a simple patch of grass in the back of East

Campus.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Sigma Nu fraternity built a choo-choo train outside its West Campus dormitory for Homecoming in 1953.

That year, senior Edward W.H. Lagerstedt, a transfer student who had come all the way from Brockton, Mass., in his sophomore year, led Trinity on the gridiron. A versatile offensive back, Lagerstedt was also an active member of the biology and physics clubs.

There were striking similarities

between the 1925 and 2004 football teams, however—both struggled on the field and suffered from lagging attendance. “[1925 was] the most disastrous season from start to finish of any team to represent the institution since the reestablishment of football in 1920,” the Chanticleer proclaimed. ‘The chief cause of the failures of the Trinity team to annex victories was its lack of an efficient aerial attack and its inability to break up the forward passing attacks of the opposing teams.”

With the team in shambles, school officials needed to find new ways to generate fan support. They decided to SEE HOMECOMING ON PAGE 20

THE

The women’s soccer team has been unstoppable recently.

Since a difficult 5-1 loss to Florida in the Nike Carolina Classic three weeks ago, the No. 14 Blue Devils (8-2, 1-0 in the ACC) have been on a tear, netting 25 goals while yielding none. The Blue Devils face one of their biggest challenges of the season when they put their sixgame winning streak on the line against No. 9 Florida State (7-2, 1-1) this Friday at 7 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium.

‘This is a really big game,” Duke co-captain Casey McCluskey said. “I guess we’re just trying to focus really hard on some of the stuff FSU does, and they’re obviously a top team coming to our field, so it’s a great opportunity for us to upset them.”

Friday’s game is only the second ACC contest for the Blue Devils, who have eight straight conference matches to close out their regular season. Currently Duke sits in third place, and each remaining ACC game has a large impact on postseason tournament seedings. The Blue Devils will play their third conference match Sunday at Miami.

The Hurricanes lost 4-2 to No. 15 Clemson on the road Wednesday after falling in a 3-0 goal deficit early.

Even though Duke has had a stellar start to the season, the biggest games have yet to be played.

Church has the bar set high.

“Our goal for the weekend is to win two games,” Church said.

Coach K scouts class of 'O6 Super 6 out the door, Duke eyes recruits to fill numerous gaps by

by Michael Mueller

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

About this time three years ago, head coach Mike Krzyzewski was putting the finishing touches on one of the most anticipated recruiting classes in Duke history.

Featuring six top-100 recruits and four McDonald’s All-Americans, the class of 2002 has not disappointed thus far, accounting for at least three of the Blue Devils’ projected starters this season.

Looking ahead to 2006, however, the departures of the last of the so-called “Super Six” will generate a huge void in productivity and leadership for the Blue Devils. As it stands currently, Duke will have just having six scholarship players on the 2006-2007 roster. With that in mind, Krzyzewski has acted quickly in identifying possible Duke recruits for the class of 2006.

Topping the list of potential targets is shooting guard Gerald Henderson Jr. of Episcopal Academy in Merion, Pa., the son of former NBA player Gerald Henderson Sr. Episcopal Academy head coach Dan Dougherty said Wake Forest, Villanova, Notre Dame, North Carolina State and North Carolina are also recruiting Henderson, who is also one of the nation’s top golfers. He added that the Blue Devils are interested enough in Henderson that they sent assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski to his school this week.

Rated the No. 17 prospect in his class by theinsiders.com, Henderson has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s top scorers.

“Gerald Henderson is probably more of an all-around kind of guard whose strength is his mid-range game,” said Dave Telep, recruiting analyst for theinsiders.com.

‘This is a guy who can score.”

Joining Henderson on Duke’s list of targets is Glenbrook North (111.) combination guard Jon Scheyer. Scheyer, whom Duke has already offered a scholarship, has a floor game that has attracted other scholarship offers from schools around the country.

Ten months ago, Josh Mcßoberts was in a little bit of a rut.

Just 10 weeks earlier, Mcßoberts had verbally committed to the Blue Devils. The junior was ready to display the skills that had caught the eyes of future head coach Mike Krzyzewski and numerous other coaches across the country. But he suffered stress fractures in his back, forcing him to sit out the first 10 games of the season.

“It was one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do in basketball,” Mcßoberts said. “I’d started every game in my career, and one of my goals was to start every game in my career. It was tough coming back mid-season and it was tough on the coaches, too. It was just a bad situation for everyone involved.”

The going didn’t get any easier for

weight during the absence, some muscle, but some fat. Even worse, getting reacquainted to playing with his Carmel (Ind.) High School teammates was difficult after half a season of inactivity.

“He’s the heart and soul of our program right now,” Said Carmel basketball coach Mark Galloway. “It was tough trying to adjust to not having him, and when he did come back it was tough trying to get him the ball as much as we needed to.”

Carmel lost in the first round of the playoffs, a major disappointment for Mcßoberts. Then, recruiting analysts observed that Mcßoberts had not completely lost the weight he had gained while recovering from his stress fracture. He fell from a top-10 player to outside the top 30 players in the nation.

MEN'S TENNIS

Duke tunes up at N.C. Invite by

Andrew Davis

THE CHRONICLE

After playing its first match of the year, the men’s tennis team is back in action today at the North Carolina Invitational in Chapel Hill.

As was the case a week ago, this weekend is more about player development than team results. Duke will send a trio offreshmen and some ofits less experienced juniors to the event.

“This [tournament] is important to give individuals a chance to work on their game,” head coach Jay Lapidus said.

Lapidus will send freshmen Ned Samuelson, Alex Stone and Vincent Perna to the tournament. Samuelson is coming off a strong showing at Georgia’s Southern Intercollegiate Tournament last weekend, where he reached the quarterfinals and beat the second-seeded player. Stone and Perna will see their first college match experience this weekend in Chapel Hill.

Juniors Stefan Rozycki, Stephen Amritraj and Christopher Brown also hope to polish their games after the summer break. Amritraj and Brown were regular starters in the Blue Devils’ lineup last season, Amritraj competing in doubles while Brown played singles. Rozycki is looking to make a bigger contribution this season.

“Brown has been playing very well,” Lapidus said.

“He had a good tournament last weekend.”

Although it is still early in the fall season, the strong competition in the tournament should give Lapidus a good indication of where his team stands.

“We can try to assess where we are and what we can improve upon after this weekend,” Lapidus said.

Duke’s top players Ludovic Walter and Jason Zimmerman, both named to the ITA Collegiate All-Star Team, will wait another week to kick off their fall seasons. They will start action next weekend at the important ITA All-American Tournament.

MichaelVideira and the Blue Devils'freshman class have been instrumental in Duke's undefeated record and rise in the nationalpolls this season.

MEN'S SOCCER from page 13 put everything they have out there to win. “[We need to] remind our players that the roles are reversed from last year. We were a heavy underdog, we were in a terrible time in our season, and yet we came very close to winning the game.”

The Blue Devils understand, that North Carolina’s record is not indicative of its talent and the team remains extremely dangerous. First team All-ACC senior Marcus Storey and sophomore Jamie Watson are two of the fastest and most talented forwards in conference. Of the two, Storey, a National Player of the Year candidate and team’s leader in points and assists, could prove to be the biggest problem for Duke’s young defense.

“They’re not playing the best—yet,” Rennie said. “A game like this can turn their season around.”

Despite this quick Tar Heels attack, neither Rennie nor his players foresee any major changes to the team’s defensive strategy. Led by Danny Miller, Duke has prevented

opponents from penetrating into box and has quickly initiated counterattacks to jump-start the offense.

“We won’t really be changing anything,” defender Kyle Helton said. ‘We’ve played good forwards all year and we’ve seen [them] before. Right now, we just need to get mentally prepared for the game.”

This mental strength will be a key theme for the Blue Devils as they try to cope with the added burden an undefeated record brings to an already intense rivalry game.

‘There’s a bunch of added pressure,” said freshman Michael Videira, who will be playing in his first Duke-UNC game Sunday. ‘With every win we have, there’s more pressure added onto us... every game has an impact on our season.”

Although the team does not think this added pressure will have an effect at gametime, Rennie said his team will not be caught off guard. The Blue Devils are acutely aware of this role reversal and feel ready and prepared for it.

“To be quite honest it doesn’t matter who’s had the better season,” said Helton. “Anytime UNC plays Duke, it’s going to be a crazy game. We’re just getting ready now, and hopefully we can have a nice victory on Sunday.”

HOMECOMING from page 15 expand upon a tradition that had been created the previous season, when a pep rally prior to the season finale against North Carolina had whipped Trinity supporters into a raucous frenzy.

“At this game more spirit was shown by Trinity students than has ever been shown at his institution,” the Chanticleer reported. “All restraint was cast with the hats to the winds, and alumni and under: graduates joined in the frantic contortions of a saddled steer when expressing their emotions after an advantage gained

by Trinity.”

Although the Blue Devils went on to lose the ’24 matchup against the Tar Heels, campus officials had every reason to believe similar support could be generated by a “homecoming” game, where alumni would return to Durham to cheer on their team.

The first official homecoming game was played on Armistice Day, 1925, against Wake Forest. In the opening moments, it appeared as ifTrinity would dominate the Demon Deacons line all day. The momentum turned, however, when junior John Prather threw an interception that set up a Wake Forest touchdown, the only score of the first half. The Demon Deacons went on to cruise to a 32-0 victory, but Homecoming was a great success.

By 1935 the event had transformed into a spectacle. Railway companies lowered their fares for the throngs ofalumni returning to Dear Old Duke. Crowds of more than 100,000 people lined the streets of downtown Durham as the “Durham-Duke Civic Parade” made its way from the Melbourne Hotel to campus. The celebrations continued until 1941, when wartime regulations halted the festivities.

The post-war era reinvigorated homecoming, however—in 1948 the first Homecoming Queen was crowned, and by the 1950’5, Homecoming was back in full swing.

The 1959 Homecoming featured numerous open houses and coffee hours as the professional schools and fraternities pulled out all the stops to impress returning alumni. The weekend also included a golf exhibition featuring leading PGA Tour money winner and former Masters champion Art Wall and his col-

lege roommate Mike Souchak. Rumors circulated that singer Perry Como might attend the event, but the crooner did not make an appearance.

The crescendo of the festivities was once again the Friday night Homecoming Show, and the 1959 celebration did not fail to disappoint. The Duke Ambassadors, the sfhoofs jazz band, opened the show, and several East Campus dormitories (which were occupied exclusively by women) performed skits mocking Army, Duke’s Saturday opponent.

Brown’s sketch, ‘This is the Army,” took home first place honors, and Sigma Nu fraternity won a blue ribbon for the extravagant display it created for the floatbuilding contest. The displays constructed to rally school spirit varied greatly—some were built with simple chicken wire, while others were more lavish. Many were several stories high and sometimes featured moving parts and audio.

The evening concluded with the pres-

entation of the Homecoming Court and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen.

Each of the East Campus houses presented a candidate, and in 1959 Southgate resident Carol Corder was named Homecoming Queen. The football captain, first team All-American and future Duke head coach Mike McGee, presented the crown to Corder, who was crowned in front of 40,000 fans the next day.

The Blue Devils once again lost the Homecoming game, but the unfortunate result did not dampen evening’s revelries.

An estimated 5,000 to 6,000 people attended the Homecoming Dance as Duke broke all ofits unofficial dating records thanks to the eager Army cadets who had raided East Campus dormitories in an effort to find the female students who had been unable to procure dates.

Student interest in Homecoming took a dramatic turn in the late 19605, when world events forced local issues to the back burner. In 1976, Dean of Cultural

Affairs Ella Fountain Pratt, in an effort to revive Homecoming, explained the effects of the times.

“Everyone was so shocked by the assassination of the president and Martin Luther King, homecoming seems trivial,” Pratt said.

In 1970, homecoming died. That year, one dorm nominated Jofm Terrell to the Homecoming Court. Although Terrell received twice as many votes as any other candidate, he was disqualified from the contest and Brown’s Christy Stauffer was declared the winner.

“It really didn’t bother me that I was not crowned Homecoming Queen,” Terrell said after the game. “I think everyone that voted for me stood up and cheered Saturday when I was introduced, so I guess they knew that I had gotten the most votes.”

The following Monday The Chronicle published an editorial that praised Terrell’s actions and derided the Homecoming pageant as “a continuing symbol of how women are viewed as objects in our society.... We believe the only constructive action that can be taken would be to end the annual Homecoming Queen Contest.”

Campus officials agreed, and no Homecoming show was held in 1971.

“By far it was one of the most enjoyable things I remember doing with a group at Duke,” Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said during a 1983 effort to resurrect Homecoming display construction.

“Groups often structured a party atmosphere around building the displays.

Sometimes they would even have a band playing while they built.”

Homecoming has never been the same since. Over the past 30 years, various attempts have been made to revive the old traditions, but none have enjoyed any success and Duke may never again see the displays, banners, parades, pageants and school spirit that accompanied the previous Homecomings. To some, however, the end of Homecoming was inevitable.

“I think it was a natural phasing out,” Former Vice President for Student Affairs William Griffith told The Chronicle in 1978. “Many of the activities were for children and the public. In the late ’6os, the displays and the skills became kind of gross... some weren’t even subtle. It got to be embarrassing. I think Alumni Affairs was probably glad when the whole thing died a natural death.”

of No. 10 Auburn. First year head coach John Zernhelt, Duke’s offensive coordinator in 1995, emphasizes the running game on offense while employing a twoquarterback system similar to that of the Blue Devils. Senior running back Nehemiah Broughton, a 6-foot, 240pound bruiser, gained 73 yards last week and will be counted on for more against the Blue Devils. The Citadel will start senior field general Justin Hardin, although freshman Duran Lawson is likely to receive a decent share of the snaps. Both will be looking for the wide receiver tandem of Jermaine Anderson and Rontreal Tyler to spark the offense.

“They’ve got an excellent tailback and a couple of different quarterbacks,” Roof said. “[Lawson] is mobile and [Hardin] is a little bit better thrower, and they’ve also got some big-play wideouts.”

Leading the defense are outside linebackers Julian West and Shawn Grant, who combined for 10 tackles for loss in the team’s first two games.

For Duke, questions continue to arise about the quarterback position.

Sophomore Mike Schneider saw most of the action against the Terps, while fellow sophomore Curt Dukes took several snaps and senior Chris Dapolito sat on the bench for most of the game. This week, Roof plans to divide up the playing time in roughly the same manner.

“Mike Schneider’s going to start and play quite a bit,” Roof said. “Curt Dukes is going to see some reps, and Chris Dapolito... I’ll see.”

Blue Devils freshmen Justin Boyle and Ronnie Drummer will share the load once again at tailback with Cedric Dargan injured, and they will look to better their combined total 36 rushing yards a week

Duke playsfor its first win of the season Saturday at 2 p.m. in WallaceWade Stadium.With rotating quarterbacks, Duke has struggled offensively in eachof its games. ago. Wide receivers Ronnie Elliott and Corey Thompson and tight end Ben Patrick will look to take advantage of a Citadel defense that allows an average of 300 passing yards per game.

On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore cornerback John Talley has

already provided many big plays with three interceptions and a school-record two interception returns for touchdowns. Fellow cornerback Kenneth

Stanford, defensive end Eli Nichols (two sacks) and linebacker Giuseppe Aguanno will do what they can as defen-

sive leaders to secure Duke its first victory of the season.

‘The Citadel is the next team on our schedule so we’ll go out and play as hard as we can,” freshman safety Chris Davis said.

That is all we can do; prepare for the game all week and then play the game.”

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1,2004

MCROBERTS from page 17 of conditioning drills forwarded to him by Duke’s coaching staff, Mcßoberts got himself back into game shape.

It’s the opening night of the AAU Tournament of Champions, and Mcßoberts and his Spiece Indy Heat team are playing. Mcßoberts fired pinpoint passes into the low post and behind-the-back bounce passes on the perimeter. A few minutes later, he took off flat-footed to come around the other side of the bucket for a reverse jam. In the second half, Mcßoberts faced up to the basket and used a crossover dribble to shake by his defender for the bucket and a foul.

Spiece Indy Heat bulldozed through the tournament, leaving opponents and coaches alike slack-jawed in its wake. Mcßoberts might not have been the team’s best player, but Mcßoberts had re-established himself as one of the nation’s elite.

Later that summer, Mcßoberts proceeded to turn in dominant performances at the Nike camp and the USA Development Festival, solidifying his position as one of the nation’s best players. After the summer, Mcßoberts was the consensus No. 3 player in the nation, according to both rivals.com and theinsiders.com’s rankings.

“I don’t really get too worried about that kind of stuff,” Mcßoberts said, adding that he had not realistically considered forgoing his Duke commitment for the NBA. “It’s an honor that people think so highly of me right now.”

As highly as his skills are regarded, however, his leadership skills may be even more deserving of praise.

“He really communicates well with his teammates,” Galloway said. “He leads by example and he’s very vocal.”

Additionally, Mcßoberts has managed to maintain humility throughout the summer months despite his accolades and his locker room presence. True to his character, Mcßoberts is not focused on improving his status as one of the nation’s best.

“Hopefully we’ll just have the best season we can,” Mcßoberts said when asked about his season goals.

“We should have a good record this year, better than we did last year.”

Joining him at Duke could be 7-footer Brian Zoubek, a cerebral center with deft footwork. Although he is not the most athletic player in the class, Zoubek—whose aunt attended Duke—could become a potent force in the paint, Telep said.

Beware The Simple Answer. That should be the slogan for this campaign.

In Thursday’s presidential debates, President George W. Bush repeated the same few answers over and over: “Kerry’s a flipTlopper.

We should be strong.” Whenever Sen. John Kerry would point out the perfect consistency of his positions or lay out a specific policy to deal with Iran, Sudan or Iraq, Bush would utterly ignore them and keep repeating the same words, as if mere repetition would make them true.

Bush’s simple answer on Iraq and Afghanistan is that it’s good to fight the bad guys. But he ignored the complex reality that we only have so many troops and we should have committed them where they were most needed: Catching Osama bin Laden.

Bush’s simple answer is that we shouldn’t

let bin Laden dictate our policies. Of course not, but we need to be smart about how we use force. Not every use offeree has the same potential to turn the Arab world against us, which the invasion of Iraq certainly did.

The world’s a complex place and Kerry has proposed complex, realistic policies to deal with them. I’m frightened that, if reelected, Bush will keep repeating “stay the course, stay the course” as he steers Iraq and America into the abyss. Not because he’s evil, but because he ignores messy reality.

But I’m also certain that American voters are intelligent enough to grasp the complexities of the world and elect the man who can do so.

Grad students deserve a voice Stefan Dolgert’s excellent column, “Mr. Brodhead, tear down the wall,” brings up a very important but neglected issue at Duke graduate employee unionization.

It is naive to think that the University is doing things in the best interest of the graduate students. Running a university is a political process and requires balancing between interests. Unionization would give graduate students an effective voice in assuring that the balance does not shift too far away from our interests.

Even if one argues that a union is unnecessary at Duke right now, the future is much less certain. You don’t build a fire department in response to a fire. You setup the fire —

department in advance so that the necessary tools are in place to put out any fires.

But in reality, there are already some fires at

Duke that need to be put out. One salient issue is health insurance. There are no assurances that the burden of increasing health care costs will not fall entirely on graduate students.

Duke also has very little incentive to find us the most affordable health insurance plan. Graduate students also don’t get any vision or dental care. All of these costs are paid entirely out-ofpocket. And our pockets are not that deep.

TA’s of Duke University: UNITE! Dan Lee Grad ’O9

Keep Brown substance-free Although I commend The Chronicle for supporting the maintenance of substancefree housing on East, the suggestion to create substance-free halls within multiple

dorms will not solve the obstacles that Brown faces. I lived in Brown, and I would first like to challenge the figure that “over 50 percent” of Brownies drink—in my estimate the percentage is far lower.

Unless evidence exists, nobody should assume that so many people break the substance-free contract. Also, as Katie Zimmerman noted in her Sept. 24 letter, the fact that a few students discreetly break the contract does not lessen the positive experience for everyone else.

As for eliminating the Brown stigma, I feel that scattering substance-free halls throughout East could actually increase the problem. If students within a dorm are singled out as substance-free, other students may still stigmatize them.

As the situation stands now, even if a Brownie feels stigmatized, he or she can return to the dorm and feel accepted. Also, instead of experiencing peer pressure not to drink, substance-free students spread throughout East would feel pressured in the

opposite direction. With alcohol use so prevalent on campus, we shouldn’t make substance-free living more difficult for freshmen. Finally, while designating one dorm as substance-free may imply that the rest of the campus is not, eliminating Brown will not change the reality that many fresh-

men do drink.

Instead of scattering the substance-free students and eliminating the close-knit support network that we enjoyed in Brown, I advocate the creation of another substancefree dormitory on East. To the best of my knowledge this would not increase-Residential Life and Housing Services costs, and it would allow many more of the students who request substance-free housing to be accommodated.

The fact that more students would participate in the program could have the added benefit of decreasing the stigma. Living in Brown was one of the best parts ofmy Duke experience so far, and personally, I believe that as many students as possible should have that option.

Bush declared last week, “the Taliban is no longer to find anyone not beholden to the administration who believes that the election, if it happens at all, will be anything in existence.”

But his claim was in keeping with his reelection strategy, demonstrated once again in Thursday learned nothing from their failures. If Bush is returned to night’s debate: A president who has done immense damage office, there’s every reason to think that they will continue to America’s position in the world hopes to brazen it out by along the same disastrous path.

We can already see one example of this when we look at claiming that failure is success.

My resume sucks

Apparently,

fall has arrived: The leaves are come down, the days are getting shorter, and seniors are scrambling for jobs like it’s their... uh... job. (Wow, that cliche didn’t work so well.) I was wandering through the Bryan Center last week, in the midst of the Career Fair, in quite the blur. I thought there were going to be Ferris wheels and funnel cake. How wrong I was. For us liberal arts kids, it’s a bit of a depressing time, moving from booth to booth and saying, ‘Thanks, but I don’t think i-banking is really for me, sorry.” I gradually got depressed as the afternoon dragged on and people tossed about their job offers like embossed confetti—lighting this semester’s books on fire on the BC walkway in celebration of their newfound freedom from academics. Finally, after being turned down gendy by innumerable men and women in suits (note to self: Tunneling,’’while technically an “action verb,” does not work well with the resume) I stumbled upon a recruiter who looked interested. Dropping off my resume, they promised a call within the next few days, and sure enough, I quickly received word that I was exacdy the sort of motivated, hardworking individual they were looking for. So, look for me next year! I’ll be taking your orders at the Armadillo Grill.

Duke students w?< are masters at supermatt detura ficiality. Need proof?

When’s sorority ru... for good or for awesome excuse me, I think that “happy pressure-free non-discriminating selection time” is the official term for it now. No amount of Prada-armed freshwomen can top the sheer banality of job-hunting, though. A friend of mine pointed out the “top 10 interviewing tips” from The Chronicle the other day, mentioning correcdy that it was a little ironic that they made such a big deal out of being unique and original. Who are we being unique from? The 600 other kids who were reading the same tips that morning, I guess. All right, employers, I’ll call your bluff. You want unique? How about I head into my first interview with my “Meat Loaf World Tour” Tshirt on? (Don’t laugh. I actually own that shirt.)

The job hunt is a mundane, idiotic, facetious process. It’s also going to determine most of the rest ofyour life. Sweating yet?

This summer, my friends were doing memos for Goldman, engineering software for Bristol-Myers and working for the Federal Reserve Board. I was driving a forklift. Not kidding. I was originally substitute teaching at my old high school, but then my last summer internship came through, and I decided that working with boxes was much preferable to working with children. (Boxes don’t give you any lip.) Technically, my internship was in logistics (shout-out and free advertising to Ryder “We’re Not Just Big Yellow Trucks Anymore” Logistics), which is a fancy term for getting things from one place to another without anybody losing their job in the process. They thought, however, that it’d be good for me to do time at one of their warehouses so I could see the entire length of the supply chain. For two weeks, I got up at 6 a.m. every day, got into a car, fought through Turnpike traffic for an hour and ended up in a telecommunications warehouse in the middle of nowhere. It was repetitive scanning boxes, filling orders and working the inventory systems. I got home late and was usually so tired I went straight to bed. And you know what? I had a blast. I learned Filipino profanity, made some good friends with the guys working there and got the aforementioned forklift license (I still keep it in my wallet.) At first, I blanched a little at the prospect of warehouse work. Turns out it was the best two weeks ofmy sum-

starting

to

mer.

I guess my point is this: The job hunt is stupid and superficial, but that doesn’t mean you have to be superficial also. I met more interesting people in two weeks in an industrial town than I have in four years at Duke. You may not be able to be a banker when you get out of Duke, but it’s not that bad if you’ve got to setde for being unique.

filiated with the University. Rather, the Duke community’s daily source of news is the product of Duke Student Publishing Company, a $1.3 million non-profit, incorporated firm, whose president is current Chronicle Editor Karen Hauptman.

The decision for The Chronicle to become an independent company in 1993 was the final result of a series of steps to sever its financial and influential ties with the University.

Prior to 1993, a number of Chronicle editors worried the newspaper was too closely linked to the University and thus Duke could institute severe repercussions if inaccuracies were published. Past editors said University administrators had intervened inappropriately when outsiders interpreted the content of The Chronicle to represent the University’s beliefs.

In the 19605, the publication of The Chronicle was halted mid-press for several days, and the editor was forced to resign after attempting to publish a parody of the nativity scene.

“We knew there was the threat that if we did something unpopular, there would be retribution,” said Rocky Rosen, Trinity ’BB, who was editor of The Chronicle and is now the assistant managing editor for the Durham Herald-Sun. The Chronicle began its move toward independence in 1989 when it refused Duke’s annual $lOO,OOO subsidy and replaced the foregone funds with revenue from advertisements.

Although this early move toward incorporation set the ball rolling for the newspaper to unafFiliate with Duke in 1993, the publication of a controversial advertisement Nov. 5, 1991 brought the issue of independence to a head.

‘The ad was the final straw that really pushed us with going ahead with incorporation,” said Rosen, who was an initial member of the DSPC board.

The full-page ad by Holocaust revisionist Bradley Smith, who said the Holocaust never occurred, led to a major backlash

not only The Chronicle but also the University itself. Reactions ranged from a

against

flood of vehement letters directed at University officials to the withdrawal of financial support by some alumni.

Yet the intention of this advertisement was to exert first amendment rights, said Ann Heimberger, editor of The Chronicle in 1991.

“It is not a newspaper’s job to determine what the public should not be exposed t0... or to determine what sort of negative events an article... may generate,” she wrote in an “editor’s column” before the advertisement appeared in print.

The turmoil resulting from Smith’s advertisement reopened the question of what type of involvement Duke should hold within The Chronicle’s infrastructure, and editors decided that the time was ripe to become independent from the University.

“I understand the paper’s motives behind [becoming independent],” said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, who along with then-PresidentKeith Brodie also advocated The Chronicle’s right to publish the advertisement in 1991.

Nonetheless, severing its legal ties with the University has not fully prevented The Chronicle from dealing with issues of journalistic freedom.

Gregg Pessin, editor in 2000 and Trinity ’Ol, noted that The Chronicle faced attempted intervention by University administration despite its independent status. He said Duke’s actions interfered with the publication’s goal of making decisions entirely independently of University interests.

Pessin was apprehensive about University repercussions when The Chronicle published a controversial reparations ad by David Horowitz in 2001, as Duke considered pulling its advertisements from The Chronicle. Such an action would have compromised the financing and thus the publication of The Chronicle, Pessin said.

“The Chronicle is one of the few remaining open forms of academic discussion and freedom at Duke,” Pessin said. “[Complete] independence? I think it’s a

continuing process.”

Clay Felker blazes trail for'new journalism'

by Tracy Ke THE CHRONICLE

Before the likes of Vanity Fair and People

Magazine, there was New York Magazine, im-

mortalizing the antics of the movers and shakers of New York society and capturing the essence of a whole generation ofyoung Manhattenites in all their social, political and cultural savvy during the 19705.

Thirty-five years ago, Clay Felker, Trinity ’5l and former editor ofThe Chronicle, founded New York with the hopes of making it the talk of the town —establishing what the upper echelon, and those who wished to be like them, “should and shouldn’t want.” New York staff writer Michael Wolff reflected on the young Felker in a 2004 story, calling him an aspiring “mogul” with “over-the-top ambition... overflowing and loquacious.”

“My city is a city of ambition. Because New York is so expensive... you can’t live there and work unless you are ambitious,” said Felker, who also wrote for Sports Illustrated and Esquire Magazine before creating the genre of the “city” magazine with New

York. “I wanted to focus on one thing— l didn’t want to make the magazine about the nation; I was interested in New York City.”

What made New York this “buzz-worthy,” must-read cultural phenomenon was Felker’s unique aesthetic and literary vision for a magazine that captured the fantasy of what was supposed to be New York living.

From the best to the worst, the fanciest restaurants to the cheapest eats, New York helped set the bar. “We were establishing the best way to live in New York City for a whole range of ‘consumers,’” Felker said.

‘We focused on people who loved the city and those who hated it.... We suggested that some of the elected officials should be put in jail. We weren’t just a sales magazine. We SEE FELKER ON PAGE 10

Yet, the native New Yorker also had a keen love for sports—from a passion for his hometown Knicks and Mets to a swimming ability that almost sent him into the pool for the Blue Devils.

After a broken ankle ended a potential collegiate swimming career, Feinstein was left with a lot of free time and nothing to do until a hallmate told him that The Chronicle was a “great place to meet girls,” Feinstein said.

He notes that his career has taken him full circle.

When he began at The Chronicle, he was writing about fencing —a non-revenue sport about which he knew nothing—but wanted to cover basketball and football. Now, Feinstein finds less well-known subjects to be ofinterest.

“I have covered all the glamorous events,” Feinstein said. “I am looking to get away from glamour and glitz. I want to write about athletes not in the spotlight.”

Feinstein’s Chronicle experience led to an internship with The Washington Post upon graduation. He served as a police reporter, relying on journalism skills acquired as a three-year associate managing editor at Duke.

Convicted murderer sought truth as editor by

Duke student. Sigma Nu fraternity brother. Editor of The Chronicle. Convicted murderer.

Although his name is now associated largely with the murder of his wife, the recently convicted Michael Peterson had a life at Duke before he even met her.

Much of that life took place in the office of The Chronicle.

Elected as editor in April 1964, Peterson hoped to revitalize the paper and make it more readable. “If nothing else, I can promise a more vital and dominant newspaper; hopefully, a better and more beneficial one,” he said. Peterson wanted to print the truth—even if that truth was controversial.

Duke graduate Judy Woodruff continues to forge a path among the politicians in Washington, D.C., as the anchor of CNN's Inside Politics.

If there is one thing that Judy Woodruff, Trinity ’6B, knows how to do, it’s how to break the mold. As a current anchor for CNN’s Inside Politics and a career broadcast journalist, Woodruff has resisted being categorized as just another perky blonde Georgia peach posing for the camera.

“I’ve always believed that women have to work at least as hard as men, if not harder, to reap the benefits of success,” Woodruff said, speaking from the Miami outpost of the first presidential debate.

Woodruff’s interest in politics began at Meredith College and blossomed after she transferred to Duke. Her political inclinations took shape at the

THE CHRONICLE

The thrill of seeing your name in print, the sense of community that comes with being part of a well-respected campus organization, finding sleep-deprived friends who understand what a nutgraph is. These are all good reasons for Duke students to become involved in The Chronicle, but to this list another reason must be added; Join The Chronicle to find true love.

“I owe all my happiness to The Chronicle,” former University editor Geoff Green, Trinity ’95, said laughing. Green’s marriage to his co-University Editor and former Editor Alison Stuebe, Trinity ’95, is one of numerous examples of successful

relationships between staff members of the newspaper. Whether chalked up to the non-existence of any other social life or the deep friendships that form between those who work for the paper, many former editors admit they probably would never have met their significant others if not for The Chronicle.

“I think perhaps [relationships develop because of] lack of other opportunity,” speculated former Editor Kathleen Sullivan, Trinity ’B9, who is married to former University Editor Dan Berger, Trinity ’B9. “Because once you’re really involved, a lot ofyour free time gets eaten up with the paper.

Although The Chronicle has seen its fair share of scandal and controversy over the past hundred years, one accusation it has avoided so far is nepotism.

“My brother [former Editorial Page Editor Ken Reinker, Trinity ’o3] told me that I shouldn’t become involved in The Chronicle, that I would regret it in the long run,” Tracy Reinker, current editorial page editor said. “My brother likes to overdramatize things and even though he might say he regretted what he did, I would say he probably liked it a lot.”

Associate Photography Editor Laura Beth Douglas was also was warned by her father Bob Douglas, Trinity ’73, who was a staff writer during his time at Duke. “My dad was excited that I joined the paper, but he said in retrospect that he spent too much time [in the office] and not enough time studying,” said Douglas, a junior.

Former regular staff writer Rebecca Christie, Trinity ’95, gave more comforting advice to her younger brother. “I told Nick that The Chronicle is a great thing to be involved with,” Christie said.

“If you work really hard, you’re going to have something to show for it... plus it’s fun!”

Brody Greenwald, Trinity ’Ol, sports editor remembers feeling hesitant about joining The Chronicle as a transfer student from Tufts. “I didn’t want to go somewhere where I would be Jason’s little brother.” he said. But a friendly face in the office helped him fit in. “I remember meeting Roily Miller when Jason was at Duke, and he was an East Coast father figure to both of us,” Brody said.

“Our two men’s basketball teams are once again meeting on the court. Although we at the [Daily Tar Heel] hope that the best team will win, that does not always happen given Book’s record of cheating, bribery, Mafia ties, brutality, falling down... and general unsportsmanlike conduct.”

Is this treachery, you wonder? Perhaps an unheard-of string of typos? An obscene example of Tar Heel bribery? The answer to all of these questions is no. On the contrary, this quote—straight from a letter to The Chronicle by former Daily Tar Heel Editor Kim Minaugh—is merely one of many examples of the ever-popular newspaper rivalry between Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Legacy of former editor remains alive by

Ryan McCartney THE CHRONICLE

Matt always carried two books, former high school teacher and debate coach Eric DiMichele remembered. Just in case he finished one book, there was another one at hand.

Matt Sclafani, editor-in-chiefand consummate reporter for The Chronicle, lost his one-year battle with leukemia Feb. 7, 1992. Today, his name floods the walls of 301 Flowers Building, and his legacy is celebrated annually through the prestigious Matt Sclafani Award, which honors yearly a reporter who shows the same integrity as Sclafani once did.

Twelve years after his death, The Chronicle remembers Sclafani, a young man who courageously sought the truth, and a former reporter who now stands as the very model of journalistic courage.

Arriving as a freshman, Matt immediately found a home in The Chronicle. Rocky Rosen, the editor of the newspaper during Sclafani’s freshman year, remembered the young writer. “There are certain freshman who just stick out as being really energetic and aggressive and sort of newsroom rats,” Rosen said. “Matt was definitely one of those.”

Nicknamed “Weasel,” Matt ascended The Chronicle ladder quickly, gaining the respect of his peers. He became editor in 1990.

Matt took the job seriously. He encouraged his writers to search out the truth, even if it was hard to come by. He was skeptical, and he was curious.

Michael Saul, a freshman writer when Sclafani was editor and the first winner of the Matt Sclafani Award, recalled, “Matt stood for journalistic courage. He was defiant, and he stood up to authority.” In 1990, Matt

Matt took his job seriously, but he certainly enjoyed life.

published an article unfavorably portraying Stanley Fish, a controversial former Duke law professor and chairman of the English department.

When Fish challenged the young editor, Matt stood by his story and his staff. The truth preceded everything else. Matt was not afraid of confrontation and embraced the complaints of his readership because complaints meant that he was doing his job right.

Sclafani was truly a debater at heart. Maybe that was what made him such a good editor. The Chronicle enabled him to search and to question. But there was a wittiness that sprung from this quest. There was a deeper love of argument.

“He enjoyed a good debate, though he usually thought he was right, and he often was,” said Jason Greenwald, a fledgling writer when Matt was editor.

In the editboard meetings, heated debates inevitably dissolved into futile arguments over who would get the last onion bagel! Matt took his job seriously, but he certainly enjoyed life.

One evening, while watching a Duke basketball game, co-worker Erin Sullivan noticed lumps on Matt’s neck and face. Over the fall break of his senior year, he was diagnosed with cancer. Ann Heimberger, Matt’s girlfriend and fellow worker at the time, was there.

“It was the only time that I saw Matt scared,” she said. “After that, he handled the disease like a superhero. He made it possible for the rest of us.”

By the spring, Matt could no longer work for his beloved Chronicle. The cancer soon spread to his liver. In his final days, however, Matt maintained an unfaltering sense of humor.

Front to back. Chronicle tracks a rising Duke 1911: First erected in Washington Duke Building was the only campus building to have ever been lost in a fire. The blaze was first spotted on January 4, at 2:50 a.m., when flames began bursting through third floor windows.

Shortly after, senior H.R. Hunter, who had been sleeping in his room on the second floor of the building, sounded the alarm. By the time emergency assistance arrived, the entire three-story building, was entirely immersed in flames.

Valued at about $lOO,OOO at the time, the Washington Duke Building contained the executive and administrative offices, various classrooms, and served as a dormitory for about 60 students on the third floor. No one was killed during the fire, and most students had plenty of time to evacuate the building.

1969: At 8 a.m. Feb. 13, 1969, 70 of Duke’s black students began an occupation of the Central Records office in the Allen Building. They presented a list of demands, and the protesters threatened to bum the records if these demands were not met. This threat was later withdrawn prior to the demonstrators’ departure from the building. Ten hours later, the occupation ended peacefully. Meanwhile, a crowd of 1,500 curious Duke students had gathered in the quad during the occupation, and the onlookers remained even after the Afro-American students had vacated the building. The Durham police moved in on the crowd and began tear-gassing teachers and students alike. Chaos ensued as people fled the quad, while others retaliated by smashing a police car. A number of students were injured during the frenzy, some from inhaling gas, some from being trampled as they fled the scene.

1963:An announcement by Provost R. Taylor Cole informed the Duke community that the Class of 1967 would include black students, the first such students to enroll at the University.

Two of the students were admitted to Trinity College and the remaining three to the women’s college. The undergraduate colleges were the last to admit AfricanAmericans students.

Two year prior to the announcement, the trustees voted to admit black students to the graduate and professional schools. This surprise event of integration ended a 125-year period of racial segregation at Duke University.

1991: After eight trips to the Final Four, Duke men’s basketball finally won its first national championship, beating Kansas, 72-65. Duke never trailed the Jayhawks for the duration of the 40-minute contest. The players accredited their victory to a powerful defense, which shut down Kansas’ usually explosive scorers. The Jayhawks never trailed by much, but simply could not gain the momentum necessary to overthrow the dominant Blue Devils.

The celebration began as soon as the buzzer sounded and lasted long into the night. A few students shed all of their clothes and ran naked around the bonfire in the parking lot outside Cameron. The singing, dancing, and drinking lasted late into the night, and the next morning the entire quad was decorated in toilet paper.

1967: It all began when the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam organized a peaceful rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The protest attracted between 50,000 and 100,000 people to the area. As soon as the rally finished, guards stormed the protest, unsheathing bayonets.

The Chronicle assistant managing editor attended the demonstration with a group of current and former Duke students, and he described the scene as “unreal.” As he and the rest of the protesters were sitting on the front mall of the Pentagon, soldiers began to close in. If a demonstrator refused to move, he was grabbed and clubbed repeatedly or hit with the butt of a rifle, and then arrested. An estimated 30 people were injured due to aggressive techniques by the guards.

1992: Ricky Lament Coffin, a 23-year-old convict, escaped from Guilford Countyjail in High Point, N.C., on Tuesday, Oct. 27. As prisoners were being loaded into a van headed for court, Coffin managed to unfasten his restraints, allowing him to grab a gun from a lockbox.

He stole a car at gunpoint, after which the State Highway Patrol chased him to Durham, where Coffin crashed the car on Morrene Road.

Coffin then hurried on foot toward Duke Hospital, where he made his final stand. For nearly two hours, the convict held four individuals hostage within the hospital until about 3:25 p.m., when a Durham policeman shot Coffin directly in the head. Though thoroughly shaken up, none of the hostages were injured during the incident.

Devin Gordon was used to being in charge. After a year of telling a 100-person staff what to do, he underwent self-termed “post-college whiplash” compiling upcoming movie and music lists as an intern for Newsweek magazine. Among young journalists breaking into the trade, however, Gordon’s story is unique considering how quickly he has gained professional success as a general editor for the magazine.

Among recent Chronicle alumni pursuing journalism, however, internships at papers in medium sized cities are a common starting point.

Former Editor Dave Ingram, Trinity ’O3, said he opted to work for a smaller paper where he immediately had the opportunity to write instead of doing research for a more prestigious paper. Ingram is covering state politics in Raleigh for the Winston-Salem Journal, one of about 50 papers at which he applied to work after graduation.

“I’m covering the governor’s race right now,” he said. “I get to quiz the governor and people who want to be governor about various issues in North Carolina.

It’s our job as the capital press to hold these people accountable for what they’re saying. To me, there’s no greater responsibility in journalism than to hold leaders accountable.”

Another former Chronicle managing editor who began his career in journalism in-state is Rich Rubin, who spent the summer after his graduation learning the trade at The Charlotte Observer. Six months after submitting applications, The Observer offered Rubin, Trinity ’Ol, a position on a temporary basis. “I think tn

Gordon saw the most difficult part of starting out as the change from having complete control over The Chronicle’s content with “an environment where if I’m lucky, I’ll get to write a caption in a year,” he said. What helped Gordon to gain more responsibility at Newsweek was his story on Tiger Woods that was featured on ■Newsweek'?, cover four years ago.

The piece looked at Woods, who was unwilling to give interviews at the time, from the perspective of former ueber successful athletes in other arenas. Gordon was given the story because he pitched the SPECIAL TO THE CHRONIC! idea and the editors liked it.

Decoding the jargon of making newspapers by

Emily Rotberg THE CHRONICLE

Imagine: you are a top Chronicle editor.

You’ve designed your schedule to accommodate 60-plus hours a week spent in a dirty, poorly-ventilated newspaper office. You take two classes a semester and spend more time in 301 Flowers Building than in your dorm room, more time with other staffers than with your friends, more time on the phone with Larry Moneta than with your parents.

But you love it—the reporting, writing, editing, layout and the license to snoop into any comer of University business. You love the front-row seats at basketball games in Cameron, the automatic invitations to any important University event, the controversies. Most of all, you love having a hand in the one thing Duke students read every day.

Welcome to The Chronicle Before you start your new life, there’s some newspaper jargon you should know: Budget: That special time of day when articles are due. Every afternoon, Chronicle news department heads and reporters with stories gather in the lounge and figure out what’s going in the next day’s paper. Reporters describe their stories and sources and get space allotments in the form 0f...

Wire: Source of most news not written

by Chronicle staffers. Every night, an associate editor selects stories from the Associated Press newswire based on what’s important for the Duke community beyond its walls. Wire always appears on the second page and sometimes elsewhere in the paper. Yes, there is a new quote every day.

Editboard: Twice-weekly meeting where editors debate relevant campus issues that make up the daily staff editorial. There must be at least six people with “editor” in their

title to make the forthcoming editorial official. Discussion can get pretty heated, which is why the proceedings of every editboard and the identity of every edit author must remain secret. Sometimes, when conversation digresses, gossip makes it into the...

THE CHRONICLE

Nick Hennessee—assistant managing editor 1950 For the 50th class reunion in 2002 there was a large strike and picket line that The Chronicle staff led against the Duke Power bus-price hike. The strike attracted more national media attention than the closely followed and long-planned inauguration of Duke’s new president.

Gary Nelson—editor 1963 The most riveting experience by far was during the time of the Kennedy Assassination. It had a profound effect on the entire student body. We received many letters and poems as contributions from grieving students. During that same year Duke enrolled the first African-American undergraduates, which we covered closely.

Alan Shusterman—news editor editor 1968 I reported for ABC radio from The Chronicle office during the Allen Building sit-in in 1969, while Durham City police went from building to building in front of the Chapel spraying tear gas.

Anne Newman—editor 1975 As the editor of the paper, I approved the infamous “What Missed Again?” headline on a story about the second failed assassination attempt on President GeraldFord.

Scott McCartney—editor 1980 Our years were notable for the events that shaped the Duke you enjoy. When the University hired Coach K, we ran the headline, “This is not a typo.” We were later quoted in Sports Illustrated.

Robert Sadoff—news editor 1983 During the Nixon Presidential Library imbroglio, we climbed the walls outside the closed Academic Council meeting to eavesdrop on the debate.

The people I worked with at The Chronicle were collectively the finest, most dedicated and caring people I met during my time at Duke.

Justin Dillon—editor 1995

We put out the homecoming supplement in less than 48 hours after we forgot there had to be one. Everyone pitched in—it was brilliant.

Jay Kamm—advertising producer 1997 Sanjay Bhatt, the University editor, frantically called me at 4 a.m. because a power spike had rebooted all the computers and printers in the office. The main ImageSetter, however, wouldn't turn on—he thought it was fried.

Brody Greenwald—sports editor 2001 My favorite memory comes from the night Evan dropped cheese sauce from Armadillo Grill upside down on the carpet in the lounge and the Editor, Greg, flipped out. Also, I recall the morning that I learned you had to hit “knockout” in order for your Fall Sports centerspread to come out right. There was also one morning when I was called at 7 a.m. and was told that three of my seniors missed their flight home from Chicago.

“It’s a short story, with a beginning, middle and end. WTiile it was called ‘new journalism,’ there was in effect nothing new about it.”

Felker came upon “new journalism” while at Duke. Wandering through Perkins’ voluminous basement periodical stash, he came across newspapers from the Civil War. After reading articles from the vintage papers for hours, Felker realized that these pieces were much more interestingly reported. “I realized that their reporting was literary journalism, where narrative form is primary,” he said, “A narrative form is the key. It was a very distinct voice for America.”

This voice carried New York to new SPECIAL TOTHE CHRONICLE heights. Felker made New York's style of Felker and Gail Sheehy visit the Parliament reporting as central to the magazine as Clay the content of its stories and enriched building in England. were the best of everything possible.”

But what fewer people recognize about New York is that it helped to reestablish what its former staff writer and famed novelist Tom Wolfe called

The local weather girl-turned-media A-lister was first assigned to cover Jimmy Carter’s quest for Georgia governorship, a beat that ultimately led her, and Carter, to the White House.

As for keeping her cool among all the political hot-shots, Woodruff insists that it is about tenacity and sharp wits. “The ad-

vice I’ve always given is to be persistent, don’t take no for an answer and to know that it’s not going to be easy—it’s what you make of your failures and setbacks that is absolutely an essential ingredient to success,” she said.

And while Katie Couric makes headlines by taking her face-framing highlights a shade lighter, Woodruff would rather publicly grill the world’s leaders. It is clear that the Duke trustee emerita has no intention of backing down now.

and layout all the newspaper pages. “I was far more experienced than most 21year-old kids when I got to The [Washington] Post,” Feinstein said.

With such a long journalistic career, Feinstein has seen changes not only in newspaper production but also in the role of print media. He notes that with the abundance of electronic media, print media has sometimes become an tos

he noted that his four years of college news writing experience was invaluable.

“I really majored in The Chronicle.

That was basically what I did,” Feinstein said. “Part of being a reporter is learning about new things.”

In his last two years as an undergraduate, Feinstein served as Chronicle sports editor, a position that taught the future best-selling author and journalist about the production and business of newspapers.

The process, which is now run by computers, was entirely done by hand. Reporters wrote stories on typewriters. Editors would take stories and place them on the makeup board. If a story was too long, an editor would cut it with a razor. The pages, which are now sent electronically to the printer, were hand-delivered in the late 1970s and photographed.

Feinstein remembers driving down 1-85 with the daily pages, sometimes in the early morning hours. It was through this

“afterthought.”

“Years ago it was routine to go into the locker room after a game,” Feinstein said. “Now most places try to shepherd you into an interview r00m.... [There is] a lack of access.”

Despite changes in newspaper production and influence, the lessons Feinstein learned through his four-year experience at The Chronicle still stick with him today.

‘The Chronicle shaped me as a journalist,” Feinstein said. “My first mentors in the business were older editors at the paper.”

RIVALRY from

100th Annlvei page 6

editor of the Daily Tar Heel about which university’s team will come out victorious.

If Duke wins the game, editors of the Daily Tar Heel must acknowledge UNC’s loss by delivering their newspaper with its banner printed in Duke Blue, the staff editorial replaced with a large Blue Devil and the phrase “Duke: Still The Best” prominently displayed on the front page.

In the unlikely event that the Tar Heels should somehow succeed in winning, editors of The Chronicle must acknowledge the loss in a similar fashion. In addition, The Chronicle prints an amusing spoof of the Daily Tar Heel’s front page—entitled The Daily Tar Hole—on gameday.

Not surprisingly, the day preceding the big game is a critical one for the staffs of both newspapers. One of the most interesting elements is the somewhat less-than-professional letters that pass between The Chronicle and the Daily Tar Heel’s editors to commemorate the occasion and affirm the bet. Some of the more memorable dialogue produced by this feud: “If the written word is a bit too sophisticated for you, feel free to call me and I will read you the letter or draw out its contents in pictures,” Chronicle editor Greg Pessin wrote in January 2001.

“The Dock Comical is to journalism what Fox is to television,” disparaged Kim Minaugh,

Daily Tar Heel editor in 2002.

The next day, Chronicle Editor Dave Ingram shot back, “With your school’s recent renunciation of the sport of basketball, most of us had forgotten that your team once won double-digit games in a season.”

Aside from the basketball wager itself, several former editors from both papers still bleed their respective blues. “You could say the newspapers are rivals, but at the Daily Tar Heel, we didn’t really think of The Chronicle as a true rival in terms of journalistic excellence and tradition,” said Erica Beshears, editor of the Tar Heel from 1997 to 1998.

Though Rich Rubin, managing editor of The Chronicle in 1999-2000, was willing to concede to the fact that The Daily Tar Heel is a “very good” as well as “ambitious” publication, he also added that one purpose of the bet is for The Chronicle staff and its readers to get more fun out of the basketball showdown.

According to former Sports Managing Editor Evan Davis, Trinity ’O3, the front-page spoofs, which he eagerly orchestrated, maintain the intensity of the inter-school rivalry, even as the Tar Heels become “less competitive” on the court.

In the end, Beshears said, “while there will never be any question about which school has the best newspaper—that would be UNC—there should always be debate and trash talk about which team is the best each year.”

LOVE

social contacts you had before may be on shaky ground. Proximity is 90 percent of romance.”

The close quarters in office at 301 Flowers Bldg., the endless hours worked by the editors and the raging hormones of college students seem to combine to create a perfect storm for Chroniclecest. ‘When you’re working next to someone for 45 hours a week, stuff happens,” Green said.

Relationships range from married with children like Green and Stuebe, to newlyweds like former Tower View Magazine Editor Mary Carmichael, Trinity ’Ol, and former Managing Editor Tim Millington, Trinity ’OO, to engaged like former co-University Editors Jaime Levy, Trinity ’Ol, and Greg Pessin, Trinity ’Ol, to those in a long-term relationship like former Editor Ambika Kumar, Trinity ’O2, and former Sports Editor Paul Doran, Trinity ’O3.

Kobyiarz THE CHRONICLE

Students can showcase their Blue Devil spirit for Homecoming weekend by doing what Duke students do best: building

benches.

The 2004 Homecoming Bench Building and Decorating Contest will debut today on the Main Quadrangle. Fifteen teams —ranging from fraternity, sorority, residential and social groups—have entered the event. This afternoon a panel of three judges will evaluate the pride and spirit of each bench, and the victorious team will be announced at the Homecoming football game tomorrow.

“We’re giving students an outlet to be excited about Duke,” said Kim Hanauer, Trinity ’O2, assistant reunions director for Alumni Affairs. “Every facet of the Duke community is included, and it really represents what Duke is.”

The contest officially began at 5 p.m.

Tuesday and ends today at noon. It was developed by the alumni affairs office, the student affairs office and Duke University Athletics. The winning group will be rewarded with dinner for 100 people catered

by The Q-Shack.

“The goal is that through building these benches and having them out on the Main West quad area, it will be a very visible sign of school enthusiasm and spirit and help set the tone for Homecoming,” said Joe Gonzalez, associate dean for residential life.

A high level of student interest filled the participant quota for the contest.

“I’m really happy that they’re doing this,” said junior Emily Mugler, who is Uo*««o>i

working on the Delta Gamma sorority bench. ‘We really wanted to have a bench, and it looked like if dbe a lot offun.”

The concept of the contest began over a year ago during meetings of a special University-wide committee established to

revamp Homecoming. Until the 19705, Homecoming at the University was an inlmensely popular, tradition-laced event.

Unsuccessful attempts were made in the 1990s to resurrect the Duke’s old Homecoming spirit, but this year’s bench con-

wards this goal.

“There was no Homecoming tradition really when I was a student here,” said Lisa Dilts, Trinity ’B3, director of reunions and special events for Duke Alumni Affairs. “I was thrilled when this came together. It’s a great start to what could be a great tradition that’s uniquely Duke.”

The freshmen have another opportunity to showcase their Blue Devil spirit by participating in a similar banner-making contest that is only open to entire dorms on East Campus. The three feet by five feet banners will be displayed with the benches on the Main Quad and will then be given back to the freshman houses to keep. The benches will be moved in front of eitherresidential sections or other preapproved locations.

Benches will be approximately half the size of those currently found at the University. Event organizers provided participants with pre-approved plans for construction, and alternative designs were required to be submitted for approval before being built.

Brownstone is one group constructing an alternatively-designed bench. ‘The benches that they suggest that we build are not very creative,” said senior Michael Klug, a Brownstone team member. “Given the space, an Lshaped bench fits better in the comers.”

The organizing committee provided each group with the supplies necessary to build and decorate its bench, including pre-cut lumber, bolts, nuts, nails, blue and white paint, paint brushes and a tarp. The purchase of the materials for the teams totaled around $2,000.
