WINSTON-SALEM The field hockey team suffered another Sunday catastrophe against its recent nemesis.

DUKE Wake Forest (20-3) capWAKE tured its third consecutive national championship Sunday with a dominat-

ing 3-0 victory over Duke (18-5) at Kentner Field. It was the third time these two teams have met

with championships on the line in the past two years, and the Demon Deacons have prevailed in each, having beaten the Blue Devils in last year’s ACC and NCAA title games.

“Our whole dream and goal for this season was to play on

Corporate executives, academic elites, senior administrators and a handful of alumni flocked to Science Drive this weekend for a slew of events honoring the opening of the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences.

Completion of the almost $lOO million center—home to interdisciplinary research initiatives in biology, photonics, materials and integrated sensors —marks the latest in a series of moves to expand the Pratt School of Engineering under Dean Kristina Johnson’s guidance.

Panels and discussions held during the two-day celebration focused on the University’s po-

tential to remain on the cutting edge via cross-disciplinary, intercurricular study.

“I have always said that it’s good for an engineer to go to a liberal arts school,’’Johnson said. “[Students] need to know the societal implications of the techthey’re studying.” nology CIEMAS, she added, represents a shift from myopic, departmentalized teaching to a more holistic and practical approach.

Assembled faculty and notable guests also discussed obstacles facing young engineers, including the overwhelming trend of job-outsourcing to foreign workers. Increased undergraduate research, interactive learning and industry-relevant training SEE CIEMAS ON PAGE 6

Iraq sets election date amid violence Maggie Michael THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Iraqi authorities set 30 the date for the nation’s first as Jan. election since the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship and pledged that voting would take place throughout the country despite rising violence in many areas and calls by Sunni clerics for a boycott.

Farid Ayar, spokesperson of the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq, said voting would push ahead even in areas still wracked by violence, including Fallujah, Mosul and other parts of the BAGHDAD, Iraq

volatile Sunni Triangle The vote for the 275-member National Assembly is seen as a major step toward building democracy after years of Saddam’s tyranny.

But the violence, which has escalated this month with the U.S.-led offensive against Fallujah, has raised fears voting will be nearly impossible in insurgency-tom regions—or that Sunni Arabs, angry at the U.S.-Iraqi crackdown, will reject the election.

If either takes place, it could undermine the vote’s legitimacy.

Ayar insisted that “no Iraqi province will

be excluded because the law considers Iraq as one constituency, and therefore it is not legal to exclude any province.”

To bolster Iraq’s democracy, 19 creditor nations agreed Sunday to write off 80 percent of the $42 billion that Iraq owes them.

U.S. and Iraqi troops have been clearing the last of the resistance from Fallujah, the main rebel bastion stormed Nov. 8 in hopes of breaking the back of the insurgency before the election.

SANTIAGO, Chile President George W. Bush, trying to mend relations with Latin America, pledged Sunday to make a fresh push for stalled immigration reforms and defended the U.S. invasion of Iraq, saying that “history will prove it right.”

Immigration is a sensitive issue throughout the region and Bush said his proposed guest worker initiative would strengthen border security and help the economy.

ic summit in Chile. “I think a guest worker program is important.”

Finishing up a three-day visit, Bush spoke at a news conference as a new security flap surfaced following an embarrassing fracas Saturday in which Bush intervened and pulled his Secret Service agent away from Chilean guards. An elaborate state dinner with 200 people Sunday was downgraded to an official working dinner, reportedly because Chilean President Ricardo Lagos balked at Secret Service demands for guests to walk through metal detectors.

There was no mention of either incident when Bush appeared with Lagos at the end of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, which closed with pledges to shore up global security, fight terrorism and push ahead with negotiations to lower trade barriers.

Both Bush and Lagos acknowledged they had disagreed about Iraq. “Most of the time we will be in agreement. Sometimes we won’t,” Lagos said. “But that’s life.”

Bush said he respected Lagos’ decision and said they were still friends. “What we’re doing is the right thing in Iraq,” the president said. Bush said no one could argue that Iraq was better off with Saddam Hussein out of power.

Unwilling to concede defeat, Congressional leaders expressed hope Sunday that lawmakers could return next month to resolve a turf battle that has blocked passage of an overhaul of the nation's intelligence agencies. President George W, Bush pledged to work with them for passage.

Service projects draw students into community

Driven to protest

by

Rebecca Friedman THE CHRONICLE

Only tenths of an inch taller than the second-graders she stands with, sophomore Gariy Knight may not have a physical presence that commands attention—but what she lacks in stature she makes up for in enthusiasm. With 20 seven- and eightyear-old kids clinging to her sides, it is evident that they care just as much for her as they do for the candy she holds above them as a prize.

“We’re going to play another game of sharks and minnows, and then the winners will get candy,” Knight says.

In reality “everyone gets candy in the end,” Knight whispers, “but for now it’s just good for them to be out, and practice group skills like how to work together.”

Knight, along with 15 other students from Duke and the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill, coordinates, leads and participates right along with the elementary schoolers of Carter Community Charter School in the debut year of their gym program. Participating in the program, which began about a month ago, involves two hour-long trips to the school each week.

“Volunteering at Carter is so enjoyable because I get to go off campus and be with people that aren’t only 18 to 21 years old,” Knight said. “You don’t have to go very far to remind yourself about the rest of the community.”

Knight is part of what the Community Service Center reports as an ever-expanding corps of studentvolunteers. As of April 2004, the center found that of 180 student responses, 25 percent participated in service activities at least once a week, with the most students, 26 percent, exhibiting an interest in children’s issues.

“Duke students become passionate with particular groups, organizations and causes,” CSC Director Elaine Madison said. “Although it may be a relatively short time frame, there’s a more intense pattern of involvement.”

For many students, volunteerism in college entails a personally motivated com-

“There is a trend of long-term commitment and students with extensive community service in high school,” Madison said.

In college, she said, students “tend to take leadership positions and participate in a more sophisticated kind of involvement.”

The CSC aims to involve the Duke community in service both inside and outside the University’s walls. Often this involves the Durham community and other associations outside of the University alerting the center about its needs for volunteers, which are then relayed to students byway of its student representatives and CSC staff.

TAILGATE from page 1 the familiar back-left parking lot as early as 7:30 a.m. As the hours passed, different sports teams, groups of friends and fraternities set up their own stations in the parking lot, with Bojangles’ tailgate special and deep-fried turkey in hand. Even Duke Student Government had its barbecue tables set up this weekend ‘Tailgating is the quintessential foundation of groups at this university,” said senior David Misler, dressed as an old-school news reporter along with his always-extravagant varsity lacrosse teammates. “[lt] is the greatest unifying force for students.”

The feeling of unity was everywhere Saturday, even for mimes, superheros and giant yellow chickens. ‘This is my last tailgate ever and the fratmosphere is unrivaled,” said senior Bayard Collins, a member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, after taking off halfof his chicken costume because of the surprisingly nice weather.

Besides the usual fraternity and sorority T-shirts, different groups of friends were dressed in theme costumes, ranging from ’Bos prom queens to Santa and all of his reindeer to other absurdly coordinated outfits.

A barbecue grill sat next to just about every SUV or pick-up truck, along with garbage cans full of cases of beer. At tailgates, sharing Just about anyone can walk up to an SUV and be handed a beer in one hand and a hot dog in the other. By the end of the day, the parking lot was flooded with beer and littered with crushed cans.

“This is the best day of my life,” senior Delta Sig Matt Widham said. “It’s a great scene with a lot of great people having a great time. There isn’t anyone who’s not having fun here Toward the end of the tailgate, however, the beersoaked atmosphere turned sour. At around 2 p.m., junior Paul Musselwhite, a columnist for The Chronicle, was arrested for possession of cocaine. An hour later, a fight erupted and senior Chris Anthony was taken to the hospital as a result of a bloody face and a punched-out tooth. After the game ended, President Richard Brodhead stopped by to check up on the well-being of another student who had to be taken to the hospital for excessive drinking.

“If it’s done right, [tailgating is] terrific, and if it’s done wrong, it’s terrible,” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said. “The goal to is find away to get it done right.”

For the most part, students are responsible for their own safety at these “spontaneous gatherings.” Most of the time, thousands of early risers enjoy themselves in the Blue Zone at one of the only opportunities where the student body can come together on campus.

“Honestly, it’s the best time of the year,” sophomore Mariel Moscatello said. “I’m definitely going abroad, but if anything can keep me at Duke, it would be tailgating.” ”

CSC from page 3 receive funding from us because we get a lump sum from Duke Student Government and then can act as an advocate for them and track their volunteer records.”

Williamson noted that involvement tends to drop off after freshman year when students move from East Campus, where the CSC is based, to West Campus. To combat this trend, the center added 14 quad representatives for upperclass students to. the 24 freshman representatives and 22 student staff volunteers this year.

Francesca Tenconi, a junior and third-year CSC representative, said she got involved to get to know the Durham community.

“I participated in community service in high school,” Tenconi said. “It gives me a sense of reality because here we get consumed with everything we have to do, but volunteering lets you know the community.”

Even though many students claim to presently be volunteering, or have done so in the past, the extent of their involvement varies gready. According to the CSC, 49 percent of those surveyed only participated once or twice a semester; 60 percent acknowledged that they do much less volunteering than they did in high school; and 68 percent claim to be unsatisfied with the amount of service they do now.

The main reason students report for their lack of involvement is they are “too busy.”

“Academics can be overwhelming here and students develop this tunnel vision about them, losing sight of all the opportunities they can give back to the community,” said Jacqueline Grassi, a sophomore and CSC representative. “Really dedicated students return to a program because it holds their interests and they realize they gain as much as they give.”

Motives for involvement certainly range for students.

Freshman Chad Hayes first became involved with community service on campus to satisfy requirements for a

“I like working with little kids because they’re so much

fun,” Hayes said, “but I also needed hours for this scholarship I’m applying for.”

The various motives, however, have little bearing on the way the students at Carter School see the volunteers and their work.

The storming of Fallujah has heightened tensions throughout Sunni Arab areas, triggering clashes in Mosul, Beiji, Samarra, Ramadi and elsewhere.

In Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad, insurgents ambushed an Iraqi National Guard patrol Sunday, killing

eight guardsmen and injuring 18 others, police said.

U.S. forces conducted a raid to capture a “high value target” associated with Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi in Haqlaniyah, 135 miles northwest of the capital, a U.S. spokesperson said Sunday. Six people were detained, although the military did not say whether the target was among them.

Witnesses said U.S. troops raided a Sunni mosque in Haqlaniyah, arresting its cleric Douraid Fakhry, and detaining dozens of residents in nearby homes. The U.S. military denied that a mosque was raided in the area.

“Leadership is not so much taught as it is revealed,’’Johnson said. “We need to educate leaders to be well-rounded—that’s the stuff that sustains major innovation. I don’t think you can outsource leadership.”

The four new buildings, which combine for a total of more than 300,000 square feet, more than double existing teaching and research space. This increase allows for the ease of integrating different disciplines such as photonics, genomics and environmental engineering.

Another cited aim is for CIEMAS, through its architectural design, to foster a more social atmosphere conducive to faculty-student collaboration, which was noticeably absent in the past. “If you were an engineer before, where did you hang out?

Roles continue to be defined for Blue Devils

Chrissie Gorman THE CHRONICLE

After months of preparation and two exhibition games, the No. 11 Duke men’s basketball team (1-0) seemed to be coming out of hibernation in its 88-46 victory over Tennessee-Martin (01) Saturday night in Cameron Indoor StaUTIVI dium.

ShakDUKE 88 ing off the dust after a pair of preseason games when the team was hardly tested, Duke looked like a squad that had not quite learned to play without departed point guard Chris Duhon and versatile forward Luol Deng.

Even though the game’s outcome was never in doubt, the Blue Devils shot only 32 percent from the floor and 4-of-16 on three-pointers. Daniel Ewing adjusted to his new point guard role, dishing out three assists while scoring 20 points.

“I didn’t think we were playing poorly in the first half. We were shooting poorly,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “If the other team quits on you, you don’t have to worry about those things, but Tennessee-Martin played hard all game, so they stayed in there. I thought we were a little bit nervous shooting the ball in the first half.”

The Tennessee-Martin attack still could not challenge Duke.

Big men Shelden Williams and Shavlik Randolph controlled the paint and the Skyhawks’ shot 37 percent.

Husde plays at the start of the second half, coupled with improved shooting, allowed the Blue Devils to build momentum as the team fed off the responsive crowd.

As part of a 34-6 run to start the second half, McClure stole a Skyhawks’ inbound pass. Ewing quickly moved through the key, taking a McClure pass in for a layup that riled up the team and the Cameron Crazies for the first time this season.

“Anytime people on our team make energy plays, it gets the team into it [and] it gets the bench into it,” McClure said. “We feed off the energy of the crowd.

We do get sluggish at times, when we can get the energy in the crowd, it definitely helps us out.”

“Guys are pretty much setded into their roles,” senior Daniel Ewing said. “We’ve been practicing this since preseason.

As expected, all 10 players who saw playing dme Saturday night showcased the defensive hustle that has become a trademark of Duke Basketball. What is less certain, however, is how the Blue Devils intend to score points.

Against Tennessee-Martin, Ewing demonstrated that he has evolved into a guard who can both run the point and still remain a dangerous scoring threat.

Whitley sparks come-from-behind surge Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

by

Trailing their opponent by 11 points with 15 minutes left to play and on the verge of losing their second straight game against a nationally ranked opponent, the No. 6 Blue Devils (3-1) were in desperate need of a savior.

Fortunately for Duke, divine intervendon came in the form of senior Wynter Whitley, whose 58 seven-point run PENN ST. DUKE 55 sparked a dramade comeback, and the Blue Devils went on to win 66-58.

With her team trailing No. 23 Penn State 32-43, Whitley found herself with a wide open three-point shot at the top of the key and nailed it.

After Penn State (0-3) missed on the opposite end of the court, Duke jumped out to a fast break. Monique Currie pulled up at the right elbow for a jump shot, which clanged off the rim. The ball, however, landed right into the waiting arms of Whitley, who converted an easy lay-up to close the deficit to six.

After another missed Lady Lion jump shot, freshman Laura Kurz found a wideopen Whitley on the right side of the court. The senior nailed the 17-footer, sending the Cameron crowd into a frenzy.

The Blue Devils would never look back. Six minutes later, Whitley would score her 11th point to give Duke its first lead of the half, and the Blue Devils went on to cruise to victory.

“After Wynter hit that three, at that moment we started to come together and understand that it was going to take a team effort to win this game,” junior Mistie Williams said. “It can’t be a bunch of individuals out there—it has to be a team. After that moment it clicked. The energy started going, the crowd started getting into it, and it was hard not to get on fire after that.”

Whitley, who also led her team with eight rebounds and four steals, almost did a double take upon realizing how unguarded she was on her three-point attempt.

“I had to think about it,” the senior said. “I was open. I’ve been shooting after practice, so I felt comfortable with it, and I like the top of the key. No one was guarding me, so I shot it. It felt good.”

The comeback came after a sloppy first half that saw several scoreless periods from both teams. Duke shot a paltry l-for-7 from behind the arc in the stanza, and the Lady Lions out-rebounded the home team 21-9.

“It wasn’t a happy halftime,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I don’t think I’ve ever coached a team that’s only had nine rebounds. That’s a lack of aggression, lack of discipline and a lack of heart. There’s no excuse for that.”

The Blue Devils came out after the break with a strong man-to-man pressure defense and dared Penn State to beat them off the dribble. The gamble worked, and the Lady Lions turned the ball over seven times in the second half.

The women’sbasketball team showed it still has many questions in its win over Penn State Friday, but the squad is starting to provide some answers.

The Blue Devils bounced back from their Wednesday loss to No. 10 Notre Dame by using superior post play and a^ressive aamec man-to-man defense to offset the damage done analysis by ineffective zone defense and a poor firsthalf rebounding effort.

Penn State’s defense had no answer for Duke’s inside game as the Blue Devils dominated points in the paint 40-16. The Nittany Lions were further hurt when one of their best interior defenders, forward Ashli Schwab, sat down after picking up her fourth foul with 11 minutes remaining in the second half. Duke immediately went on a 15-3 run during which the Blue Devils continuously pounded the ball inside.

“I don’t think there was a post player on our team that could handle their post offensively,” Penn State head coach Rene Portland said. “Their post game was so much stronger than ours was.”

Despite Duke’s interior advantage, the

Blue Devils were outrebounded in the first half 21-9. Penn State had seven offensive rebounds and nine second-chance points in the first half alone. The Blue Devils did narrow the rebounding differential in the second half but were still outrebounded for the game 38-30.

Duke came out in the second half playing a 2-3 zone—most likely in an attempt to improve its rebounding. The zone, however, was counterproductive. The Blue Devils gave up many open looks and Penn State capitalized, scoring 13 points in the first five minutes. Duke then switched to a man-to-man defense, which energized the team and limited the Nittany Lions’ opportunities. The Blue Devils held Penn State to 17 points in the last 15 minutes of SEE

THE CHRONICLE

For the first time since 2000, the men’s soccer team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, defeating Coastal Carolina 3-0 Friday night at Koskinen Stadium.

Tomek Charowski, who moved up to forward for the COSTAL first time Friday, found the net DUKE 3 twice to extend the lead that Danny Kramer established in the 30th minute.

The Blue Devils (15-5) will face No. 12 Old Dominion, which received a firstround bye, in Norfolk, Va., Tuesday.

With less than 15 minutes remaining in the first half, assist-leader Michael Videira fought off a Chanticleer defender to keep the ball in bounds. Videira then sent a pass to Zachary Pope, who crossed the ball in frontofCoastal Carolina’s net. Nigi Adogwa overran and missed the pass, but a charging Kramer followed and found the cage, scoring the only goal Duke would need.

The Chanticleers were not able to muster a shot until five minutes had gone by in the second half, when point-leader Jordie Hughes drew Duke goalie Justin

Trowbridge out. Beating Trowbridge, Hughes fired a shot deep from the left

side that barely missed the goal. “[Duke] did a very good job defensively of shutting us down, of stopping us, of letting us get into a rhythm and getting our guys forward,” Coastal Carolina head coach Shaun Docking said. ‘They defended us very we 11.... They never really let us settle in the game.”

Coastal Carolina (14-8-1) sustained a pair of severe injuries that prevented the team from getting into the game. Two Chanticleer players were taken off the field on stretchers, one with possible nerve damage and one with a concussion.

In the first half, Patrick Robertson and keeper Aaron Weant collided in Coastal Carolina’s box to keep Duke’s Spencer Wadsworth from getting the ball. Robertson finally limped off the field, and Docking said his defender had felt numbness down his leg.

Then, with only 13 minutes left in the game, another Chanticleer, Kevin Van Den Berg, suffered what seemed to be a severe concussion when he bumped heads with Duke’s Chris Loftus on a Coastal Carolina comer kick. Van Den Berg had a seizure when he first hit the ground and was taken off the field following a 20minute delay. “[Duke] is a very good team, and in order for us to stand a chance ofwinning,

we needed everyone to be fit and healthy.

We didn’t have that,” Docking said.

When Van Den Berg went down, the Blue Devils led by two after Blake Camp sent a cross that Charowski knocked into the net on a sliding kick in the 51st minute. Just 30 seconds after Van Den Berg’s injury, Charowski found the net again following a Pope pass.

Duke enjoyed a 15-4 shot advantage, and Coastal Carolina’s standouts— Hughes, Mamba Chisoni and Boyzzz Khumalo—were the only players to take shots on Trowbridge, who had two saves on the night. Both of Trowbridge’s saves were impressive diving stops, one on a penalty kick by Hughes.

“On the whole team, there wasn’t anybody who didn’t have a great game,” said head coach John Rennie, noting that the team was successful despite a week-long hiatus.

After falling to Virginia in the first round of the ACC Tournament, the Blue Devils had nine days to rest and practice before the NCAAs, something the coaches and players agreed they had needed.

“We were really anxious to play,” Charowski said. “We were kind of happy we didn’t get the bye in the first round because we had so many days off. I think it’s better that we got this game in now.”

The women’s soccer team’s most successful season of the past decade came to a screeching halt Saturday in Los Angeles. No. 11 UCLA (16-6) knocked the 18th-rankedBlue Devils (15-8) out of the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 with a 2-0 shutout.

“It was a great experience and a great run,” head coach Robbie Church said.

“Obviously when DUKE 0 you get down to UCLA 2 the final 16 you can smell the Final Four. Everybody was very proud of themselves and their teammates.”

The Bruins’ DaneshaAdams scored the eventual game-winning goal midway through the first half. Teammate Lindsay Greco hit Adams with a pass, and the freshman split two Duke defenders before firing a shot into the right corner of the net. The score was Adams’ third of the NCAA tournament.

From the start, the Bruins controlled the tempo, and Church said UCLA competed harder than his team throughout the first half, boasting a 10-2 shot margin over the Blue Devils. Still, Duke goalie Allison Lipsher made five saves in the period to keep the game within reach at the break.

“She had a very solid game and made seven saves,” Church said. “Some of those were long-distance shots. There was one in the first half that was a really good save. If we had been down 2-0 [in the first half], it could have gotten really ugly. She kept us in it.”

Duke emerged from the locker room with much more energy, knowing that a loss would end the careers of the Blue Devils’ three seniors, Casey McCluskey, Lauren Simel and Kate Straka.

At the 47-minute mark, forward Carolyn Riggs barely missed a shot to the right side of the goal and McCluskey kicked a ball over the crossbar minutes later. The Duke offense, however, was unable to muster many strong opportunities on goal.

Devils instead repeated

mistakes they seemed to have corrected earlier in the year.

Duke ended last season optimistically with a celebratory 30-22 win in Chapel Hill. After Saturday’s game, however, the Blue Devils head into the off-season without much positive momentum.

“We made a lot of strides this season,” Duke head coach Ted Roof said. “We didn’t finish the deal today.”

Saturday Duke looked like the team that surrendered 348 rushing yards to Virginia in the Oct. 23 loss to the Cavaliers, not the team that upset Clemson 16-13 last week.

The Blue Devils allowed North Carolina, who entered the game averaging 172.4 rushing yards per contest, to run the ball for 285 yards. From the first Tar Heel possession—in which North Carolina tailback Chad Scott completed four successful rushing attempts in a 53-yard scoring drive in the first 1:43 of the game—it was clear that North Carolina intended to challenge the Duke rushing defense.

The Tar Heels continued to take advantage of holes in the Blue Devil defensive line to produce significant gains on the ground throughout the game.

The defense has struggled against the run all season, but Duke also had trouble Saturday in areas in which it has excelled in recent weeks. The Blue Devils allowed the Tar Heels to convert 9-of-16 third downs, after allowing Clemson to move the chains on l-of-12 third down attempts last week and surrendering no third down conversions to Florida State during their Nov. 6 matchup in Tallahassee.

“We had our chances, but we didn’t take advantage,” Roof said. “We weren’t very good on third down on either side of the ball, we made some poor decisions, and we just didn’t execute. They just ended up winning the game in the second half.”

Trailing by three at halftime, a tired Duke squad allowed North Carolina to score 20 unanswered points in the latter portion of the game. The defense was on the field for 42 snaps during the first half, and with an offense that had nine three-and-outs, the Blue Devils defense did not have much time to regroup.

This contributed to Duke’s lack of pressure on the quarterback and its difficulty resisting the run.

On the other side of the ball, poor pass protection continued to plague the Blue Devil offense. Quarterback Mike Schneider was sacked six times, often as a blitzing Tar Heel defender broke through the line and brought him to the ground. The constant pressure seemed to keep Schneider off balance, and the sophomore committed the Blue Devils’ second turnover of the game when he threw into heavy coverage, allowing UNC strong safety Kareen Taylor to snag an interception and run the ball 67 yards into the end zone for the Tar Heels’ final score of the day.

The Duke defense, which came into the game leading the ACC in takeaways,

UNC quarterback Darian Durant, however, played an accurate, intelligent game and kept stray passes from the hands of Duke defenders. The Blue Devils only forced the Tar Heels to turn the ball over once—trailing 33-17 in the fourth quarter just prior to the Taylor pickoff.

Special teams produced Duke’s most significant plays Saturday. The team blocked two Connor Barth kicks, one of which senior Kenneth Stanford recovered for a 70-yard touchdown run. After his 53yard, game-winning field goal last week, kicker Matt Brooks continued to excel, going 2-for-2 on extra points and scoring a 51-yard field goal.

This weekend’s play was not indicative of the improvements Duke football made throughout the season. Going into the offseason, Roof said he is looking to work on conditioning by increasing players’ time in the weight room and focusing on securing next year’s recruiting class. After buttressing the underclassmen all season to turn Blue Devils into a competitive team, the seniors leave disappointed, and the Victory Bell has returned to Chapel Hill.

“We would have loved to have had more success this year, but I’m so proud of this group of guys,” senior Giuseppe Aguanno said. “We weren’t giving up. We never give up. That’s what this program is about We’re never going to quit.”

Ahead by three going into halftime, North Carolina took control during its first second-half drive. With the ball at the Tar Heel 36, UNC tailback Ronnie McGill evaded the Blue Devil defense, hugging the sideline for a 47-yard gain before Stanford forced him out of bounds. Facing third-and-three at the Duke 10, quarterback Darian Durant shot a sharp pass to wide receiver Jarwarski Pollock, who dodged a tackle and scampered into the Blue Devil end zone to increase the Tar Heel lead to 10.

head coach Ted Roof said. “But we traded punts and then they were able to stick one in after that.”

Duke looked as if it would quickly close the gap after a 30-yard Ronnie Drummer run gave Duke first-and-10 on the 50. A holding penalty followed by a errant snap that sailed over quarterback Mike Schneider’s head left the Blue Devils with second-and-32. Duke ultimately had to punt, stalling the drive and its own comeback effort.

A second Duke turnover produced North Carolina’s final touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter, Tar Heel free safety Kareen Taylor picked off quarterback Schneider at the North Carolina 36-yard line. Taylor outran the Duke offense to tally the 64-yard touchdown.

‘They just ended up winning the game in the second half,” Roof said.

Although North Carolina sealed the victory in the second half, the Tar Heels established their running game in the first two minutes, scoring off tailback Chad Scott’s 21-yard end zone push. Scott gained all of the opening drive’s 53 yards and 144 total on the day.

The Blue Devil offense struck back, bringing the ball in range for a Matt Brooks 51-yard field goal, which came on the heels of Brooks’ game-winning 53yarder against Clemson last week.

Duke executed its last scoring success with less than a minute left in the second quarter when Schneider sent a quick lateral to tailback Justin Boyle. Boyle rushed six yards into the UNC end zone, and the extra point brought the score to 20-17 at the half.

‘We were feeling pretty good at halftime. We just scored and were getting the ball, and then we just couldn’t play off that

momentum,” Aguanno said Ted Roof has finished his first full campaign with a frustrating loss that mirrored Duke’s season. North Carolina outplayed the Blue Devils for most of the game, but as has been the case at numerous other points, Duke was unable to capitalize on chances to take advantage ofits opponent.

For a group of seniors, the loss ends a tumultuous Duke career that included a mid-season coaching change and a winless first season.

“I’m so proud of this group. They left this program in better shape than they found it and that’s what everybody likes to see,” Roof said. “With some of the tough times we’ve had, they could’ve shut it down, but they didn’t. They always stayed in and kept fighting. But now we have to get back to work. We have to get going with our off-season program and just keep developing.”

Maryland mounts 0-2 comeback B-squads run strong

The Duke women’s volleyball team needed only three sets to defeat its opening opponent Virginia in this weekend’s ACC Tournament. But even with a 2-0 lead over Maryland Saturday, the Blue Devils could not hold on for the victor)', falling to the Terrapins 3-2 in the semifinals.

“We were up 2-0 but we couldn’t finish,” head coach MARYLAND 3 Jolene Nagel said.

2 “We didn’t have a DUKE lot of errors, and they pulled it out when it counted.”

Third-seeded Duke (20-10) was the highest remaining seed when it matched up against Maryland (15-14) in Charlottesville, Va. No. 1 seeded Georgia Tech and No. 2 seed Miami lost their first games in the tournament.

With Maryland and Duke tied at eight midway through Game 5, the Blue Devils surged ahead to lead 10-8. Maryland, however, did not fold, going on a 5-1 run.

Nagel then called a pair of timeouts, but the Terps still took the last two points to win 15-11 in Game 5 and complete an improbable comeback.

The Maryland push started in the third game, when the refocused team returned to the court and gained the momentum.

Duke’s stingy defense, led by senior Stephanie Istvan and freshman Jenny Shull, brought the Blue Devils back from the brink of defeat in the third to close within two points of the ACC Tournament finals. The Terrapins continued to roll, however, and closed out the game 30-25.

The Blue Devils’ attack was slightly off in the critical third game. The team misplayed nine balls for errors, the most of any game in the match.

The fourth game featured more backand-forth action as the teams batded to 12 ties. Maryland came out hard again, attacking Duke early for a 13-8 lead. The Blue Devils did not back down and took the lead at 17-16.

In its toughest test of the still-young season, the wrestling team finished in seventh place out of nine teams at the Keystone Classic at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Since we now have three or four weeks before our next competition, we felt it would be best for him to rest.”

Still, in a tournament field that included No. 20 Pennsylvania and No. 23 Rider, Duke showed promise in several weight classes. Bryan Gibson and Wes Kuser finished third and fourth, respectively, at 133 pounds. Kuser defeated Gibson 8-7 in a wresde-off two weeks ago, but Gibson bested Kuser this time, winning 10-9.

Redick hoisted 12 three-pointers, several of which came either in transition or from several steps behind the arc.

The junior, who hit four threes and scored 20 points, seemed resolved to shoot when he had open space.

With about eight minutes left in the first half Redick, displaying his defensive ability stole the ball and brought it down the court ending his drive with a jumpshot from the left side.

“I think our defense was pretty solid throughout the whole night, despite of how we played in the first half on the offensive end,” Ewing said. “In the second half, we just put together both a defensive and an offensive game, and it clicked.”

Ewing fueled the defense with five steals on the day, setting his team up for some pivotal offensive strikes.

Sean Dockery—whom Ewing beat out for the starting point guard spot—picked up two quick fouls upon entering the game midway through the first half. The junior did not take a single shot and never got into the flow of the game.

I just have to take shots when they’re there, and if the shot’s there to take off the dribble, then I have to take that as well.”

In the frontcourt, Shavlik Randolph showed early glimpses that he may have found the toughness that has lacking from his game. Six minutes into the contest, the juniorripped down an offensive rebound and slammed it back into the basket with a two-handed dunk that gave Duke an 11-8 lead.

team meeting before the Duke Friday night men’s basketball team kicked off its historic 100th season Saturday against Tennessee-Martin, the players watched as Missouri, coached by former Blue Devil Quin Snyder, lost to Davidson, a team the Blue Devils have faced annually since 1909.

As the No. 11 Blue Devils (10) prepare to face the Wildcats (1-0) tonight at 7 p.m. in the Charlotte Coliseum, they will not take the game lightly, especially given the Davidson’s 84-81 win over Missouri.

‘They really are a good team, and we know we have to go out there and play hard, because we are going to be sorry if we don’t,” Shelden Williams said.

The Wildcats have a strong outside game, led by junior guard Matt McKillop, who went 5-for-8 in three-point range against Missouri. As a team, Davidson was 10-for-18 from beyond the arc and shot 60 percent on the night.

Against Tennessee-Martin, Duke only shot 40 percent from the field, including a 31.7-percent shooting average through the first half.

In the season-opening win, J.J

Redick and Daniel Ewing led the team with 20 points each. Although most of Duke’s offensive production will come from Ewing, Redick, Williams and Shavlik Randolph, the fifth spot on Duke’s starting lineup is still up in the air going into tonight’s contest.

Freshman David McClure started against Tennessee-Martin Saturday night, but head coach Mike Krzyzewski said he is not focused on identifying a certain player to always fill this role.

“Whoever plays that fifth position, that’s not what everyone on the bench should be competing for. They should be developing their roles so that I can put any of them in that fifth spot without going through psychological and emotional swings. If I wanted to start Sean [Dockery] against Davidson, it’s not a big thing to Sean, nor is it a big thing to Dave.”

Regardless of who starts, Krzyzewski will rely on his entire team against the Wildcats, including freshmen McClure and DeMarcus Nelson, who made their collegiate debuts against Tennessee-Martin. McClure had three assists and four steals while Nelson, nursing a thumb injury, came off the bench for 18 minutes and 10 points and nine rebounds.

Sean Dockery picked up a pair of quick fouls when he came off the bench midway through the first half.

Krzyzewski will use the duo as wild cards.

Surprisingly, it was David McClure, not the highly touted DeMarcus Nelson, who was first to ingratiate himself with the Cameron Crazies. Five minutes into the game, McClure displayed uncanny awareness by fooling the Tennessee-Martin defense with a pump fake and finishing a mid-air up-and-under layup in traffic.

In the second half the freshman electrified the crowd by picking off the Skyhawks’ inbound pass and finding a streaking Daniel Ewing for the quick layup. solid,” “McClure’s been really Krzyzewski said. “He kept balls alive, he got three steals, a couple of blocks. He’s real efficient. He is actually our most ef-

ficient guy outside of the top four guys on our team.”

Nelson, who was hampered by a protective brace on his right thumb, started the season by shooting a sub-par 3-for-l 1 from the field. Krzyzewski said he expects Nelson to carry a large part of the team’s offensive load and was not disappointed by his poor shooting percentage.

“I was actually real pleased with [Nelson] tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “He was active, enthusiastic and playing to complement those other guys.... When DeMarcus gets in really good shape, he’s a multiple position player, and could even guard against some teams’ second big.”

QUESTIONS from page 2 the game while scoring 35.

Duke continued to miss the leadership and ball handling of junior point guard Lindsey Harding. Freshman Wanisha Smith has shown the skills and instincts to become a premier floor general, but continues to make rookie mistakes. She had seven turnovers and only three assists, but she did come up with two important baskets late in the game to secure the victory.

Harding’s return would also relieve some pressure from Currie. Without the perimeter threat of Harding, defenses

W. SOCCER from page 3 “We came out in the second half and played much, much better,” Church said.

“We played pretty well in the back and in the middle third, but we just could not get the last volley in for a good scoring chance. I think we had seven shots but none of them were great shots.”

With just over 15 minutes remaining, the Blue Devils changed their formation and brought an extra attacker to the front, trying to score an equalizer. Although the strategy generated a few more Duke shots, UCLA capitalized on a counterattack. Bristyn Davis netted a goal with three minutes remaining, giving the Bruins a two-goal advantage.

“I think if you objectively look at it, probably the best team won on the day,”

have been able to key in on the preseason All-American. Currie has continuously encountered physical defense and double teams, and the effects are noticeable. Currie has looked impressive at times but is shooting only 36 percent on the year, compared to her 48 percent average last season.

Duke will travel to the Bahamas for two games this weekend and will face No. 1 Tennessee when they return. The Blue Devils must improve their rebounding to have success against a difficult upcoming schedule, but the aggressive defense and dominant post play shown against Penn State display the potential of a developing team.

W. BASKETBALL from page 2

Church said It was an emotional loss for Duke, which won 15 games during the year, its highest output since the 1994 season. In addition, McCluskey had one of the best seasons in Blue Devil history. The ACC Offensive Player of the Year finished the season with 40 points, tying a school record.

“I was initially very upset, but I’m also really proud of how well we did this season and how far we got in the tournament,” McCluskey said. “My main emotion is just pride and happiness at what a great season we had.”

Duke will return 22 of the 25 players from this season’s roster, and Church said that the Blue Devils earned valuable experience traveling across the country during the tournament. Although replacing this class of seniors will be difficult, he said expectations will be high.

“When you give away every statistic on the bottom [of the box score]... [you] don’t deserve to win the game,” Penn State head coach Rene Portland said. ‘We made bad decisions offensively. Turnovers were awful and at key times.”

Penn State senior Tanisha Wright, who had scored 30 points in an earlier loss to No. 2 Texas, turned the ball over five times. Duke’s strong defense in the middle of the court gave Wright very little room to maneuver.

son said. “If that competition wasn’t there, we might not be working as hard. Right now we know that if we don’t work hard, the other guy is right there to take the spot.”

Senior Levi Craig at 174 pounds and Junior Mark Thompson at 197 finished fourth in their respective weight classes.

Although the finish was impressive for both wrestlers, each was frustrated with the result. Craig lost twice -to Pennsylvania’s Dustin Wiles, a wrestler whom Craig beat last season. Thompson was competitive in each of his losses, but both times his opponent caught him in a move and won by pin. Thompson has not wrestled competitively in three years because of a red-shirt season, an injury and a season during which he played football.

“He was frustrated with his losses,” Anderson said of Thompson. “To come out after a long time away and compete like he has is very impressive. We are real pleased with his progress and I think he will con-

The Blue Devils also dominated the Lady Lions underneath the basket on the offensive end and outscored Penn State 40-16 in the paint. Williams led the team with 20 total points, 12 of which came when Duke was re-energized in the second half.

“We don’t like losing,” Williams said.

“Coming off a loss, that should give you enough fire to get in gear and realize that we have to get better.... We don’t accept losing, and once we saw them get ahead, it reminded me of Notre Dame getting ahead. And it’s like ‘No, this is not going to happen again.’ We just kicked it into gear.”

tinue to improve.”

None of Duke’s other wrestlers placed in the top six in his weight class.

Anderson was pleased with the individual performances but stressed the mental impact of having three of the team’s top wresders out of the tournament.

“Missing three of our stronger competitors may have taken away confidence from the rest of the team,” Anderson said. “We lost a lot ofclose matches and I think our confidence level was a big factor in some of those. There were a lot of strong teams and nationally ranked wrestlers, and I think we gave some guys a little too much respect which may have played a role in pulling out close matches.”

Anderson was optimistic that the tournament experience would help his team in the long run.

“Hopefully being in so many close matches lets our guys know that we can compete at a high level,” Anderson said.

‘The ACC Tournament is basically what we’re training for so exposing these guys to nationally ranked wrestlers was my goal.”

DAN RYAN/THE CHRONICLE

Midfielder Hilary Linton, who led the team with three shots in its losing effort, also maintained a strong defensive presence against Wake in the nationaltitle game.

F. HOCKEY from page 1 be confident. In the regular season, the Blue Devils defeated the Demon Deacons 4-3 in overtime Sept. 11 in WinstonSalem. Duke had also beaten top-seeded North Carolina in the regional final to qualify for the Final Four.

But when the stakes were highest, Wake Forest worked its game plan to perfection.

From the start of the game, with the home crowd roaring, the Demon Deacons did not allow Duke to move the ball effectively. Wake Forest closely guarded the Blue Devil forwards and prevented them from getting many touches on the ball.

“One of their strengths is low block tackles, and they just did that consistently,” midfielder Hilary Linton said. ‘We didn’t adjust our game to counteract.”

Wake Forest also had no trouble slashing through the Duke defense and penetrating the circle to challenge keeper Christy Morgan. The Demon Deacons’ incessant pressure finally broke through 25

X. COUNTRY from SW page 6. record book. But the Blue Devil finished two paces behind Moriarty, who also missed the target time.

The men’s team placed 14th among a field of 20 teams and Hatch earned AllEast honors for his top-15 finish.

The highlight for the women’s team was junior Liz Wort’s fourth-place finish on the 5-kilometer course in 17:57. Wort ran among a lead pack of four runners for the majority of the race. With about 100 meters left, Wort took the lead on an uphill slope but could not hold on as three runners out-kicked her on the final downhill stretch.

minutes into the game. Forward Tamar Meijer found a seam in the right side of the Duke defense and beat Morgan far post for a 1-0 lead. The Demon Deacons’ nearly extended their lead before halftime, but Morgan made two clutch saves and the defense cleared the ball.

The second half, however, was more of the same for the Blue Devils. Unable to advance the ball into Wake Forest territory with any consistency, Duke was left scrambling in front of its own net trying to preserve the one-goal deficit.

“It’s unfortunate this is our last game because we’ve had such great games and played so well this season. Our attack players have really performed for us with a number of goals that they have scored for us,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “This was not one of their better showings.”

In the second half, it only took the Demon Deacons five minutes to extend their lead when Meijer wove through a crowd of defenders and beat Morgan far postfor the second time.

Wake Forest notched the final goal with

20 minutes remaining. Midfielder Kelly Wood scored off a pass from senior forward Kelly Dostal.

After the game, Bozman, who has not won a national tide in six trips to the Final Four, was dejected.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say we were really disappointed in our performance today,” Bozman said. “I think we had a great run all season and just really did not perform today. I’m disappointed for the team and disappointed for the seniors because as extraordinary as this season was, this is what you remember for a long time.”

For the field hockey team, the loss was much different than last year’s, considering the path to the championship was much tougher.

“I think going into the game there was a big difference in the general attitude of the team,” Linton said. “I feel like we were a lot more confident going in and everybody was really excited. Last year, we felt like we were lucky to be in that spot and this year we felt like we deserved to be there.”

Wort earned All-East honors along with Elle Pishny, who placed 11th, and Paris Edwards, who finished 12th.The women’s team did not send enough runners to be scored as a team.

The team focus in now on today’s NCAA Championship races in Terre Haute, Ind. The No. 5 women’s team aims to earn a trophy by placing among the top four teams. Shannon Rowbury and Sally Meyerhoff will first and foremost look to earn a team trophy, but they will also strive to earn All-American honors in the process by finishing among the top 30 American runners.

“We’ve been doing so well, so we’re going about it the same way,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said of the team’s prepara-

tion for the upcoming, meet. “It’s a little bonus race.”

Nick Schneider will be the sole representative of the Duke men’s team and has a clear-cut individual goal of being named an All-American. On the same course, Schneider finished 16th among American runners at the Oct. 16 Pre-Nationals meet, which featured all but three of the nation’s top teams. The performance, which head coach Norm Ogilvie called Schneider’s best race of the season, led Ogilvie to believe that Schneider is among the top 25 American runners in the nation.

“One thing is for certain: It’s his last cross country meet and he’s going to lay it all out on the line,” Ogilvie said.

SWIMMING from SW page 6 really made our team realize our potential,” Sundberg said. “We weren’t expecting to do that well and gave us confidence going into the [4OO-yard freestyle] relays, which we also won. We weren’t really expecting that either.”

On the men’s side, Kevin Arthofer set a jmeet record in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:03.80. Ryan Packer, John Humphrey and Billy Pearce all had strong meets, as well. The men’s “A” 400-yard freesyle relay team, which includes Packer, Humphrey, Pearce and David Peck, was disqualified from the race, taking away valuable points away from the team.

“It was a pretty important meet,” Jay Ashtenfelter said. “I guess it was the focus of the first half [of our season].

After this, we pretty much get ready for Christmas training and from thep on out focus on the ACCs.”

disciplinary facility

that brings together aspects of the Medical Center, the Pratt School of Engineering and natural sciences from Arts and Sciences. The building provides Duke with one of the best research facilities and some of the best resources in the country.

The high quality of these resources will help the University attract top-notch faculty who will conduct cutting-edge research and bring in the best graduate students.

Since university rankings are based largely on graduate programs, having strong graduate students in Pratt will improve Duke’s national reputation in engineering and, in turn, improve the undergraduate engineering programs.

Although rankings should not be the goal of the University, they do serve as an indication of greater things that are going on within the school. There are a number of improvements that can be made within Pratt that would result in a higher ranking while also benefiting the school and its students. CIEMAS is one such improvement; it will provide more interdisciplinary opportunities and better research options for engineers and scientists.

As a physical structure, CIEMAS is well designed. The building expresses the interdisciplinarity that the University is trying to achieve. CIEMAS is

collaborative effort between the different

disciplines. simply integrating medicine, engineering and the natuIn addition

to

ral sciences, CIEMAS seems to be an indication of a new way of thinking about science and research. Instead of researching for the sake of research, the University is encouraging the application of research and integration of academic research and real-world problems. CIEMAS is designed to foster exactly this type of research and application.

CIEMAS also creates a new space for engineers, both in classrooms and study rooms and in providing a social setting that Pratt previously lacked. The new cafe and common space are a welcome addition for Pratt students, who do not have the same access to academic social space as Trinity students.

Rather than further segregating Pratt students, however, as the University moves forward, CIEMAS will also play a role in fully integrating the humanities, the sciences and engineering. After current construction on Perkins Library is complete, that will become the main thoroughfare connecting the main academic quadrangle to the Engineering Quadrangle.

CIEMAS is another step in improving the quality of research at the University and truly creating an interdisciplinary education.

nology they re studying.

—Kristina Johnson, dean of the Pratt School of Engineering during the weekend opening of CIEMAS. See story, page one.

Duke PTS concerns being addressed As Director of Duke Parking and Trans-

portation Services, I appreciate Aaron

Kirschenfeld’s concern for Duke PTS employees and encourage all Duke students to be attentive to the outstanding work being done by our staff. At the same time, I think it is necessary to clarify some misunderstandings contained in Kirschenfeld’s Nov. 18 column.

For various reasons we experience attridon in our staff, most recently due to retirement. Because of the need to hire experienced and professional bus operators and provide them with the additional training to ensure they are fully competent to transport our students, replacing staff can take several weeks. At this time we are in the process of filling two vacant positions. These drivers will work full schedules during the nine-month academic year.

Nine-month employees can be offered additional work over the summer to help fill vacation vacancies. All bus operators, both 12month and nine-month operators, are eligible to join Local 1328 of the Amalgamated Transit Union. There is no distinction in eligibility for union membership. Local 1328 represents the interests ofall bus operators to the management. During the last two years, the number of bus operators has increased, therefore giving more opportunity to expand the Union’s membership. In addition, hours of service on routes on campus and at the medical center have increased rather than decreased in response to the need to expand the bus system.

Our policies and procedures must include Duke personnel policies and those negotiated and agreed to between Duke and Local 1328.

In addition, policies such as drivers not being allowed to eat or drink while operating transit vehicles (they are asked to move out of the driver’s seat if they choose to eat or drink on a parked bus) is an industry safety rule. Employees who have exhausted their sick leave may choose to take vacation days rather than unpaid leave. Situations with illness of employees or employee’s children are taken very seriously. Every attempt is made to schedule drivers off for medical appointments when their supervisors have advanced notice. When emergencies occur and no other drivers are available, supervisors have driven buses so that drivers can attend to their problems without causing disruption of services.

Disagreements about disciplinary action or interpretations of attendance policies are all open to grievances by employees. If concerns are not addressed by the supervisor to the employee’s satisfaction, all such claims would go the grievance hearing process.

Union representation has a role at each step of the grievance process. The managers of DPTS are always striving to improve both working conditions for employees and service to the Duke community. I would welcome the opportunity to talk with Kirschenfeld, or with others, who have specific situations they would like to discuss.

Catherine Reeve Director, Parking and Transportation Services

Another Saturday?

SIR

ELTON wants to thank the organizers of the Sudanese refugee camp movement for having such compassion and consideration. Sometimes you people really know how to make an international student feel right at home. With the tents, and the general atmosphere of hopelessness, they could not have captured SIR ELTON’s homeland better. Add a neglecting father and an inspiring, crippled mother with an adept tongue for aphorisms, and you’ve got SIR ELTON going to Main West Quad for Thanksgiving in a few days.

Speaking of movements, SIR ELTON had to drop like five deuces yesterday. Oh! There goes SIR ELTON’s chances at a stand up career. It doesn’t matter—he thinks he has a pretty good chance at a career in protest. Apparendy, that’s all the rage now, ever since the ’6os told us that sitting on your behind can actually be extremely misconstrued for political protest. For every excessively funded, real movement, there are a bunch ofkids sitting idly at a bus stop in the most important role of their lives. The most impressive one SIR ELTON has seen has been the movement against long lines at Alpine, in which students protest by waiting in line, then not ordering anything, then getting back in . line, every day from 9 1 to 5. It’s a full time job, but hey, change costs more than dimes and cents.

SIR ELTON was amazed at all the excitement that was sir elton brand, packed into this past prince of tennis Saturday. Who were the organizing wiztnonday, monday ards who came up with that one? If people weren’t drinking in line for the basketball game, then they were drinking at the tailgate, or passed out by noon. If SIR ELTON were to draw a graph of drunk people passed out as a function of time on Saturday, it would probably look like this:

Where the Dems went wrong

In

2004 the typical John Kerry supporter was motivated algroup of individuals dressed in all-black hooded sweatshirts entirely by a burning desire to bring down President marching to D.C. in protest of Bush. According to the Project George W. Bush, and the result was a Democratic party that Mosh website, “If you haven’t seen the new Eminem video, seemed far more angry, negative and extremist than its just-as‘Mosh,’ you should check it out... we have decided to ‘mosh’ unified opponent. Most troubling to swing (march) on college campuses and possibly the D.C. Mall on the day ofBush’s second inauguvoters, many Democrats associated themration (Jan. 20, 2005). We want everyone in a selves with bomb-throwing entertainers and celebrities who fairly or unfairly became the black hoodie making their protest for change.”

First, do these people honestly think politivoice of the party. cians and mainstream Americans will respond Take the Democrats’ relationship with Michael Moore, the celebrity filmmaker who positively to a mob of people marching with black hoods over their faces? It certainly directed Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore, who says there is “no terrorist threat in this country” seems that such a group is more likely to scare Nathan carleton and equates the Iraqi insurgency to the than inspire. poker Further, isn’t associating with Eminem and American Revolution, is the prime example “Mosh” the last thing already extremized Deof an individual who a major party should not associate itself with, %t when Fahrenheit 9/11 premiered in mocrats need to do right now? The video includes images like Washington this June, Moore was joined by everyone from a knife going through a picture of the president’s head, newsSen.

It even attacks the 87 Senators who Throughout the summer, high profile Democrats enthusi- voted to fund U.S. troops in 2003.

I have all his CDs, one criticism that has not been refuted by the facts.” In July, drove to Detroit to see him in concert, and think he is the Moore watched the Democratic Convention with Jimmy greatest rapper alive. Yet I found it insane when Kerry went on MTV, talked about “Mosh” and said he “liked” it—just as I Carter in the former president’s private box.

Suffice it to say, the energy supplied in the basketball game was probably more from desperate attempts to not pass out by shouting than actual enthusiasm.

The game was, how do you say it, ah yes, a shutout.

Tennessee-Martin might as well have been a caged squirrel at the hands of anti-PETA activists (hunters/killing enthusiasts) armed with aluminum bats and hypodermic needles. But hey, that’s tons better than UNC (ifyou hadn’t heard, they lost in basketball to one of the boats that Christopher Columbus crossed the Adandc on). SIR ELTON has seen pathetic losses (excessive blood loss mosdy), but losing to a maritime vessel is the worst. Nodce SIR ELTON didn’t mention Duke’s loss in football and the subsequent loss of the bell, because, as has been said before, it’s a @*#sing bell, and also, nobody cares about football.

As one can see from the angst building in SIR ELTON’s written voice, he could use a vacation, and that is why this Thanksgiving is much anticipated. He was walking through the BC and saw where his handprint was on the “These hands won’t harm a woman” banner and the first thing that popped into his head was “Good thing I use my other hand for wielding bats.” He has gotten to the point where going home Tuesday and returning in January has become a reasonable option because what with the plane, boat and camel riding time, it takes about 30 days to get home.

And what’s with all the pre-break tests? SIR ELTON is tiring of all this character building and this recurring overcoming-hurdles-before-relaxation motif. After watching an episode of Friends at home, SIR ELTON immediately decided to come to America to form a coed group of friends, each with their own quirks, who sleep around with each other and then laugh at the absurdity of their situation. That’s the American Dream, not taking tests right before break.
