ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST YEAR, ISSUE S3

A&S to welcome 34 new professors by

Saidi Chen

THE CHRONICLE

In his first year as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, George McLendon has achieved a perfect 10-0 record.

Duke faculty compiled a list of senior-level professors who they believed would have the greatest impact on the University’s students. From this “wish list,” McLendon and his staff came up with 10 target professors and spent the past year aggressively recruiting them.

Their effort paid off, as all 10 professors decided to join Duke’s ranks next year.

“Nobody ever expects to get all 10,” McLendon said. “Six out of 10 would have been fabulous; I couldn’t have even imagined 10 out of 10.”

These new senior professors make up only a portion of the 34 new faculty members that the School of Arts and Sciences

has hired for the upcoming academic year. The hires cover a wide range of departments, from computer science to African and African-American Studies to political science. But there is a distinct emphasis on the natural sciences; about onethird of the new professors are joining either the biology or chemistry departments.

McLendon noted that the overall success rate in recruiting was only slightly higher than normal. What made this year unusual, he explained, was the success in high-level senior searches.

“We were competing with Yale, Princeton, Cambridge, Penn, Michigan and Johns Hopkins,” he said. “In fact, we were in direct competition with Penn for four people, and we got all of them, so I feel good about that.”

But the ball reached Schwartzman waist-high on his stick side, and the experienced goalie easily made one ofhis 12 saves.

“I got a good shot off, I got my hands free, I just put it in a terrible spot,” Danowski said. “If I had put it off cage, a little towards the pipe, maybe it goes in.”

With the win, Johns Hopkins ended three years of Final Four disappointment with its eighth men’s lacrosse national championship and its first since 1987.

The Blue Jays also became the first team since 1997 to win the tide with a perfect record.

With 13:35 left in the game, Johns Hopkins’ Jake Byrne capped off a second-half come-

back with an unassisted bounce shot that broke an 8-8 tie and gave the Blue Jays its first lead since the opening minutes of the game.

The one-goal margin would prove to be enough for the Blue Jays, who clamped down on defense and ran the clock down on the Blue Devils’ season.

“Twenty games, and one play away from the national championship,” Duke head coach Mike Pressler said. “What a year from my guys, and I’m certainly very proud of them.

“Everybody’s talking about Hopkins’ senior class, and here you’ve got a bunch of underclassmen that damn near beat them.”

Coming out of the halftime break clinging to a 7-6 lead, the Blue Devils seemed to be in a solid position to take home the tide. Danowski made the outlook even better when he added to Duke’s advantage less than three minutes into the period.

“We came out in the third and hit that great break, like we’ve been doing all year,” Pressler said. “I felt that [we would win] if we could get to 10, because they weren’t going to get to 10. Obviously, that didn’t happen.”

In the wake of last week’s three cross burnings, Durham has been thrust into the national spotlight. The two questions now on the minds of local residents and law enforcement officials are “Who did it?” and “Why?” Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation joined Durham Police Department’s cross-burning investigation last week, after finger-pointing and accusations had already started in the community.

Governor Mike Easley’s Crime Commission announced Wednesday that it is offering a $lO,OOO reward for information to help identify the suspects of last week’s cross burnings. The FBI added $5,000 to the award after the governor’s initial announcement. Crime Stoppers issued a $1,200 reward, and Durham County Commissioner Lewis Cheek offered a $l,OOO reward of his own—bringing the total reward total to $17,200.

SEC chair plans to step down

Dutch voters reject EU constitution Arthur Max

by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands Dutch voters, worried about social benefits and

immigration, overwhelmingly rejected the European Union constitution Wednesday in what could be a knockout blow for a charter meant to create a power rivaling the United States.

With four-fifths of the votes counted, the charter was losing 62 percent to 39 percent, an even worse defeat than the 55 percent “no” vote delivered in a French referendum Sunday.

“Naturally, I’m very disappointed,” Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said

in conceding defeat in his campaign for ratification. He promised the government would respect the results.

The charter was designed to provide such symbols of statehood as a flag, a president and an anthem on what has largely been an economic bloc while creating a more integrated political entity of 450 million people with a bigger economy than the United States’.

But the idea has proved increasingly polarizing, with opponents worrying about loss of national control and identity to a strengthened EU bureaucracy at the heart of a superstate.

Nine EU states have ratified the consti-

tution, but the charter needs approval from all 25 states to take effect in late 2006, and the “no” vote in both France and the Netherlands—both founding members of the bloc —was a clear message European integration has gone awry.

“We must acknowledge that many Europeans doubt that Europe is able to answer the urgent questions of the moment,” said German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, leader of the EU’s richest nation and a strong proponent of the charter.

“The crisis surrounding the ratification of the European constitution must not become Europe’s general crisis,” he said.

Jasey and Preston started their own business. They design humorous posters that reflect the college experience.

The nascent stages of their company, College Flavor, Inc., began in a dorm room during the second semester of their senioryear.

“Looking up at the wall at their Scarface poster, their Bob Marley poster and their beer-helping-ugly-people-have-sex poster, we were like, ‘Wow this could be anybody’s dorm room anywhere in the country,’” Preston said. “It’s the same 15 to 20 posters that are on everybody’s walls. So we just started brainstorming it and kicked around ideas for posters.”

It was just the beginning of what has been an ongoing adventure for the Duke

graduates.

Their first line of posters is available from several retailers nationwide, including AllPosters.com, Art.com, Spencer’s Gift Stores and Beyond the Wall’s college poster show. The company’s second line will be similar to the first and target the college-age demographic.

Preston and Jasey are among a handful of Duke students and graduates who are proving that street smarts and book smarts are not mutually exclusive.

They are using skills honed at Duke—where economics is the most popular major and an increasing number of students are pursuing the markets and management certificate—to start their own commercial ventures.

“I feel like so much of what I learned is helping me with the business,” Jasey said.

Preston agreed, noting that the resources available at the University helped them win the Duke “Cross-Quad Challenge,” an entrepreneurial competition that gives winners seed money.

There are professors, money, anything you need.”

Senior Garrett Bean, whose company, Gourmet Dining and Bakery, LLC., will begin delivering food on campus through Blackboard in the fall, emphasized the helpfulness of Duke administrators, singling out Matt Drummond, director of information technology working with the DukeCard office.

“I called him probably 15 to 20 times on a Saturday, and he was returning calls until eight at night,” Bean said. “I don’t know how many administrators at other colleges would do that.”

Bean, who has worked to make online ordering through GDB a reality for

almost two years, said he hopes the lessons he has learned starting a business at Duke will be helpful as he pitches his delivery system to other schools across the country.

“I’d really like it to spread to other colleges,” Bean said hopefully. “I don’t really want to work for other people.”

But not all entrepreneurs who graduated from Duke attribute their business savvy and achievements to their college experiences.

Thirty-three students from around the world gathered in Frankfurt, Germany Tuesday to begin their first term as the pioneer class of the Duke Goethe Executive MBA program. The 22-month, dual-degree is a collaborative effort between the Fuqua School of Business and Frankfurt University’s Johann Wolfgang Goethe Business School. The degree allows students to simultaneously pursue their MBA degrees and professional careers.

“Academic concepts and performance tools from the program can be immediately applied in the workplace,” Goethe Dean Mark Wahrenberg said in a statement.

“The employee’s value to his or her organization increases over the individual’s time in the program.”

Students enrolled in the program must complete 18 business courses distributed over eight academic terms. Two-thirds of the classes are taught by Duke faculty; the remainder are taught by Frankfurt professors. Most of the teaching will be conducted in Frankfurt, but students will also spend two weeks at Duke and practice distance learning via the Internet.

Daniel Nagy, Fuqua’s associate dean for admissions and recruiting, said Fuqua created the program to “help us a lot with our brand and our image” in Europe and attract high-quality international students. Frankfurt was selected as the site for the new program because of the resources available at the local university and in the city itself.

“Frankfurt is really becoming the financial hub of Europe,” Nagy said. “There are huge, major financial institutions, some massive banks that are in Frankfurt. We thought it would be easier to get corporate sponsorship having them in our backyard.”

TOM MENDEI/THE CHRONICLE

A gargoyle (top) roars over the Bryan Center walkway. The concrete structure will be demolished this summer in preparation for the construction of a new student plaza thatadministrators hope will become the hub of West Campus. A magnolia (bottom left) glistens after a sprinkling ofrain Wednesday afternoon. A duck (bottom left) rests on the grass of the West Campus Quadrangle. Ducks are a frequent sight on campus, as they often make theirway from the Sarah P. Duke Gardens to the bustling walkways of the quad.

The College Board will begin an indepth study this fall designed to re-evaluate Advanced Placement classes and bring the quality of cutting-edge college courses to high schools across the country.

Over the next year, 2,500 faculty members at approximately 100 colleges and universities will collaborate with researchers to identify the practices and academic content that provide students with the best learning environments. Duke will be one of the universities participating in the research.

Depending on the results of the investigation, classes in biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics and United States history could shift to covering more focused inquiries. College Board officials hope this change would provide students with a greater understanding of course material.

AP classes are evaluated and adjusted every few years, but the current survey is taking the College Board’s process a step further than usual.

In the past, researchers have garnered feedback from only educational institutions, but this year they are also asking for input from disciplinary associations like the National Science Foundation and the National Association of Biology Teachers in order to gain a different perspective on coursework. “We’ve become convinced that modeling AP on typical freshmen classes is not good enough,” said Trevor Packer, executive director of the AP Program. “We want to align AP with research that advances the discipline.”

Packer said even though current AP classes accurately reflect college-level material, they tend to concentrate on covering too many concepts at the expense of detailed explanation and exploration. [ln some courses] I do think it’s something to be concerned with —you should try to put a balance on what is being taught,” said Kerry Haynie, Duke associate professor of political science and chieffaculty consultant for the AP government and politics exam.

The College Board also hopes to incorporate research and up-and-coming concepts and technologies in the courses. As a result of a similar reform in calculus classes that occurred 10years ago, high schools implemented graphing calculators and other devices. By doing so, they brought the then-burgeoning college-level technologies to preparatory courses.

But these hypothetical research environments in high school may be difficult to realize, Haynie explained, simply because of the difference in resources available at high schools and universities.

‘You’re not going to find many high schools that can afford the lab technology and the equipment, so it’s a challenge,” he said. “But they’re going to try to come close to approximating what happens on university campuses.”

Studies show that AP classes are currently effective in conveying college-level information, but Packer hopes the impending “

CDC releases meningitis vaccine recommendation for students by

Steve Veres

THE CHRONICLE

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new meningococcal vaccinationrecommendations May 26 for college-bound students.

All rising freshmen living in dormitories should be immunized using a newly approved vaccine, according to the new

guidelines.

The new vaccine, MCV4, was approved midjanuary by the Food and Drug Adin ministration and offers protection from infection for seven to eight years. Anoth-

er vaccine was previously available on the market, but the immunization lasted only three to five years.

Both vaccines, however, are only 85 percent effective and do not target all meningococcal strands.

“This new vaccine can help protect adolescents and college students from meningococcal disease,” Dr. Stephen

Cochi, acting director of the CDC’s National Immunization Program, said in a statement.

The added period of prevention the new drug offers could have been a factor in the CDC’s recommendation of the vaccine.

Symptoms of meningitis include headache, fever, exhaustion and vomiting. About 12 percent of the cases result in death.

The disease affects approximately 3,000 Americans each year and is passed through prolonged or close contact with an infected individual, placing freshmen who live in dormitories at high risk for their age group.

“Meningococcal [disease] is extremely dangerous,” said Sue Keatts, a staff nurse at Duke Student Health who oversees travel and allergy and immunization clinics. “I would classify the bacteria as a very serious illness.”

Student Health currently offers a vaccination of the older drug for $B5. It does

require students to receive the treatcoming to Duke.

Keatts said although Student Health has plans to switch from the older drug to MCV 4, there had been no talk of changing their policy due to the new CDC recommendations.

“I would just tell people it’s a decision to make between themselves, their parents and primary doctor,” Keatts said regarding whether all students should receive the new immunization. “I’m in favor of all vaccines, but everyone has to weigh the benefits, as every vaccine has the potential for side effects. I think it is a good idea.”

The CDC’s recommendation came after University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill officials reported four confirmed cases of meningitis in their student population in the last academic year.

Keatts said she could not remember an outbreak at Duke in the past four years. not

newsbriefs Budget may recall aid money by

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

With the looming threat of a sl-million reduction in Duke’s financial aid budget, Director of Financial Aid James Belvin sent a memorandum to the student body last month rallying his troops to action.

After President George W. Bush’s Feb. 7 budget proposal suggested eliminating the funding for the Perkins Loan program and recalling all associated loans, Belvin—along with many other financial aid directors at institutions nationwide—urged students to petition their Congressional representatives to emphasize the importance of the program.

Belvin said the proposed cut could have “serious effect” on some students’ aid. a If Congress includes Bush’s budget plan in the Sept. 16 Reconciliation Bill —a proposal aimed at decreasing the deficit—approximately 900 Duke students may each lose up to $6,000 in loans per year.

The Perkins Loan Program provides lowinterest loans to students of low- and middle-income families and gives students 10 years to repay that debt. As a revolving fund, the program uses the money students pay back to continue to fund new loans.

Every year, the government provides institutions with funds to support the loans; institutions are also required to pardy fund the aid. The need for additional funds each year to perpetuate the program is partially due to its unique policy of forgiving debts of those students who opt to enter understaffed public service careers, such as nursing or teaching.

If Bush’s proposed budget is approved, all funds the government has provided each institution will be recalled. Duke will be required to return “in excess of $1 million” to the federal government, Belvin said.

Educational institutions nationwide will owe the government $6.3 billion, said SEE PERKINS ON PAGE 8

Library discards old catalog in renovations The Duke Library card catalog was removed this week as part of library renovation work.

Though it once held documentation of the more than 5 million items contained in the library, new information had not been added to the catalog in over a decade, library officials said.

Computer searches took the place of the cards in recent years.

It took several days to move the cards from the library to recycling. The catalogues that held the cards were moved to the Duke Surplus Store, which sells items no longer used by the University and Medical Center at discounted prices.

Once renovations are complete, the Bostock Library and von der Heyden Pavilion will open in October as new additions to Perkins Library. Simultaneously, the main entrance to Perkins will be closed for work on the first floor. Library public services will be moved to Bostock.

Study finds labels hurt economic competition A new study conducted by Duke researchers found that standardized nutrition labels on commercial food products may give large food manufacturers an economic advantage over their smaller rivals.

Christine Moorman, professor of marketing, and Carl Mela, associate professor in the Fuqua School of Business, found that leading food companies benefited more than their competitors from the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990.

The advantage, Moorman and Mela concluded, stemmed from the large manufacturers’ superior financial resources and customers’ recognition of their brands, which allowed the companies to respond more quickly to new informationdisclosure requirements. Large manufacturers showed a lower tendency to exit food categories and a higher tendency to increase their product distribution, at the expense of smaller companies.

Based on their data, Moorman and Mela suggested that larger firms not be allowed to help craft label regulations.

crosses in accordance with the Supreme Court ruling Although flyers from the Ku Klux Klan were allegedly left at the cross-burning site at the intersection of Holloway and Dillard Streets, investigation officials are hesitant to make any claims about who is to blame.

“Anything is possible,” said FBI Special Agent Lou Velasco. “But based on the way they constructed the crosses, I highly doubt it was pranksterism.”

Velasco added that the three separate locations where the crosses were positioned for “maximum viewing and maximum impact” —possibly point to a more organized effort than one mere pranksters could devise.

Thomas Robb, national director of the Knights of the KKK, denies his organization had anything to do with last week’s incident, although the group has historically been the culprit of such crimes. Robb told ABC 11 Eyewitness News he believes the KKK’s “good reputation” has made investigation officials “quite aware” that the Klan is not to blame.

But the FBI has not eliminated the organization as a suspect. “The KKK is a possibility based on their historical use of the cross,” Velasco said.

Some community members, however, do not accuse the Klan of the hate crime.

“I just can’t see the KKK coming here and doing that; they are pretty much cowardly. This is nothing but a black neighborhood—it would take a whole army of them,” said 49-year-old Durham resident Allan Jones while standing at one of the burning sites. “The hangings, the cross burnings —that’s old-school KKK. It’s wild to think they would go back to that in 2005.”

Regardless of who is to blame, many community members and activists want the nation to know that Durham will not tolerate such actions.

[We] will not sit back and let these crosses burned in Durham go unnoticed,” Rev. Charles Smith, president of Durham’s chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said in a statement.

Smith added that the NAACP will communicate with DPD Chief Steve Chalmers and Mayor Bill Bell “to ensure the person or persons responsible will not go unpunished and that this will not happen in Durham or any other city.”

Smith added that last week’s incident will headline the agenda for the local chapter’s meeting with the state president of the NAACP, June 11.

Jones said he thought the response of law enforcement officers also sent a positive message to the community.

“I think this is good publicity—the police and FBI being here. We will not tolerate this kind of mess in this town,” he said.

In a statement released this week, Duke President Richard Brodhead said the incident was uncharacteristic of the Durham he has come to know.

“I join with others at Duke and in Durham in deploring the recent cross burnings,” he said. “Such symbols ofhatred... are anathema to values we hold dear in this diverse and caring community.”

Duke instructor in cultural anthropology Susan McDonic, who attended one of three vigils at the crossburning sites held last week, said she was impressed by how the city reacted to the incident. “The strong community response serves to resolidify my faith in humanity and focus on what is good in the community,” she said.

In addition to corporate sponsors, students in the program must have a minimum of three years of work experience. Company sponsors of students in the inaugural class include Deutsche Bank and GlaxoSmithKline. Seventy-three percent of the class hails from Germany. The remaining students are from the United States, China, France, Switzerland, Slovakia, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Nagy said that while Fuqua is pleased by the caliber of the students, the program’s administrators hope to increase enrollment and draw more individuals from outside Germany in coming years. “We were somewhat limited this first year just because we got a late start on the recruiting,” he said. “We plan to do far more reaching [and] marketing next year, mostly in Europe.”

Graduates of the program will receive two separate degrees, one from Duke and one from Frankfurt. Under an initial contract, the program would have administered a single degree—what would have been the first of its kind offered by Duke. Citing concerns about the

University would be able to wield over the joint-degree program, the University opted in May 2004 to support a dual degree.

Under the dual-degree program, Duke plays a larger role in dictating instructional, course and degree standards than it would if the program administered a joint degree. Because they teach more classes, Nagy said, Fuqua faculty currently play a more “predominant role” in the program than their Frankfurt colleagues.

Administrative work and marketing efforts, he added, are more evenly split between the schools.

Fuqua began working with Frankfurt University in 2003 when Fuqua was forced to close its satellite campus based in Frankfurt because of problems related to overexpansion, enrollment and finances. Nagy said Fuqua learned from their “misstep” and plans on solidifying the MBA program in Frankfurt before collaborating with other schools.

Nagy said the Frankfurt program is “very transferrable.” If successful, it will serve as a model for similar programs in other countries. Nagy said schools in China, Russia, the Netherlands, South Korea and India have approached Fuqua about forming partnerships.

BUSINESSES from page 3 into business even before they knew what they were going to sell.

He added that though individual faculty members often serve as excellent mentors for students interested in business, he does not think the University as a whole inspires students to pursue unique commercial opportunities.

“I don’t think the University is a very entrepreneurial school, whereas places like Harvard and Stanford are known for producing that entrepreneurial spirit,” he said.

But Zeretsky’s mentor Connel Fullenkamp, visiting associate professor of economics, said the academic environment at Duke allows students interested in business to flex their entrepreneurial muscles.

“I think one of the things we can do here is help students find out ifthey are entrepreneurs,” Fullenkamp said. “Everybody thinks about working for themselves at some point, and giving them the opportunity to figure that out is a big service.”

As part of the markets and management certificate program, Duke offers a handful of courses on entrepreneurship, including a capstone course in which students prepare a business plan.

This fall, the economics department will offer a course on entrepreneurship and innovation taught by Jon Fjeld, adjunct professor in the Fuqua School of Business.

Fullenkamp said the courses offer the

decision-making tools and analytical skills unique to entrepreneurship—and necessary for students who want to start their own businesses.

“Entrepreneurs are different from most Duke students who will enter the corporate world, rise normally and be extremely successful, and that’s perfectly fine for vast majority,” Fullenkamp said. “[Entrepreneurs] tend to be experiential learners and figure it out and learn from their own mistakes. They have a vision and a sense that if other people can do it, so can they.

“I would call them risk-takers, but I think they don’t really think they’re taking that big of a risk because they’re confident in their skill and abilities.”

Jasey and Preston also emphasized patience and persistence as the two skills needed for success in the business world.

“It’s about having the guts to do it and then being able to stick it out and ride out the ebbs and flows,” Preston said.

Although they admit they still live on a budget and have other means ofincome—namely throwing beer pong parties at Divine’s Restaurant and Bar during the summer—they remain optimistic about the future of their company.

They also hope to diversify their business and venture into T-shirts and retail

clothing.

“We’re not that unique in that we’re the only ones that could leave Duke and start a company,” Jasey said. “Tons of people could do it. But it’s about actually doing it and not being afraid to go that route.”

A large portion of the funds the govern-

would recover would be put into other programs sponsored by the government and help relieve the budget deficit.

The recalled funds will also increase the maximum Pell Grant award by $lOO over a five-year period. Pell Grants are federal aid allotments given to students from low- to moderate-income families that are not to be paid back. The maximum award would total $4,550.

Since the U.S. Department of Education is changing the formula for Pell Grant eligibility, however, fewer students will obtain this funding. ment

APS from page 4 survey will enable the College Board to model its courses on those exhibiting particular potential in higher education and give students a tighter grasp on the subjects they are studying.

Greg Wray, Duke director of undergraduate studies for biology, said Duke students coming from AP science classes are already adequately prepared for their early work at Duke.

“For many of the classes in the sciences, the basics are the basics and they don’t change that much from year to year,” Wray

“Our analysis... documents that the numbers just don’tadd up and could actually result in a net decrease in aid for students,” Belvin said about the budget proposal.

Belvin added he was pleased with students’ response to his memo, stating that although he cannot be sure how many students actually called their representatives, he received feedback that approximately 30 students had done so.

“Since the president proposed his budget, we have opposed it,” Giesecke said.

“Across the spectrum of higher education programs, people who participate in Perkins Loans programs have opposed it.”

Giesecke said the response from individuals at higher level institutions across the country has been strong.

Belvin said regardless of the outcome, the University intends to provide aid to students with demonstrated need. said. “‘Cutting-edge’ is really more for maintaining relevance and student interest, but the intro course is really not that fast a moving target.”

Nevertheless, Wray said the added depth could prove to be beneficial in more advanced—if not the introductory—courses.

The College Board is also introducing an “AP course audit” option this fall. Individual high school classes will be evaluated to ensure they are meeting College Board guidelines regarding curricula, textbooks and resources.The study about potential restructuring will be reviewed throughout 2006. Changes will be announced in 2007 and implemented in the fall of 2008.

THE CHRONICLE

The search is on Following the resignation of former Duke baseball head coach Bill Hillier May 25, the athletic department has appointed a search committee of athletic administrators, former players and faculty members to conduct a nationwide hunt for a replacement.

SeniorAssociate Athletic Director Chris Kennedy, who is heading the search committee, said that integrity, a commitment to academics and the ability to recruit well are three of the most important qualities the University is seeking in its applicants.

“We want someone who will make this an incredibly rich experience for those who go through our program,” Kennedy said. “We want the student-athletes to have an experience here that will be valuable to them, and they will always remember and always treasure —that includes all the aspects that go into being a student-athlete.”

Duke finished its season with a 14-39 record—its seventh-straight losing season—and won just 5-of-30 conference games in a league that qualified seven of its 11

struggles and absence from the College World Series since 1961, the job has piqued the interest of a number of head and assistant coaches, as well as other college baseball figures around the country.

Tulane associate head coach Mark Kingston and Georgia Tech associate head coach Bobby Moranda both confirmed their interest in the coaching vacancy.

Princeton head coach Scott Bradley, South Carolina associate head coach Jim Toman and Boston Red Sox scout Mike Rikard could not be reached, but a number of sources have mentioned them as candidates to fill the post as well. Approximately 25 applications have already been submitted, Kennedy said, and although the committee is in preliminary stages, he hopes to have a new coach in place by July 1.

“It’s one of the best universities in the country and plays in one of the best conferences in the country,” said North Carolina graduate Kingston, who is also the recruiting coordinator for the SEE SEARCH ON PAGE 12

Following a double bogey on the ninth hole that put him at one over, Blaum recovered well. On his back nine, he notched eight pars, as well as a birdie on one of the course’s most difficult holes.

Shannon Rowbury can breathe a little easier now.

Competing in her first collegiate competition since the Penn Relays April 29, the junior cruised to a third-place finish in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:24.43 at the 2005 East Regional Championship held Friday and Saturday in Randall’s Island, N.Y. By finishing in the top five, Rowbury earned a trip to the NCAA Championships for the second time in her career.

“I think for me it was something that I knew I was capable of,” said Rowbury, who is ranked second in the nation in the 1,500. “It was one of those things where it was a relief to get it over with because had I not qualified, then it would have been a huge disappointment.”

Rowbury was not alone in her success, as four other Blue Devils also earned the chance to compete in the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships June 8-11 in Sacramento, Calif.

Junior Liz Wort qualified Saturday for her first trip to the championship, finishing the 3000-meter steeplechase in fourth place with a time of 10:16.66.

Laura Stanley and Debra Vento received at-large bids in the 10,000-meter and high jump, respectively, after strong showings at the Eastern Regionals. Paige Miller, who had already received an automatic bid earlier this season after meeting the NCAA qualifying time, will compete in the 10,000 alongside Stanley.

Rowbury is excited to have so many of her teammates joining her next week.

“Having a big group there makes such a big difference,” Rowbury said. “I’m definitely someone who drives off of having teammates around and the energy of other people.”

Head coach Norm Ogilvie was pleased

For the third consecutive year rising senior Liz Janangelo won the Connecticut Women’s Open. She recorded scores of 68 and 66 to finish the tournament at 12-under par and win the tournament by 11 strokes.

Grzebien earns Honda Award As a result of her NCAA individual tide, rising junior Anna Grzebien was named the most outstanding athlete in women’s golf. She is the third Duke women’s golfer to win the Honda Award in school history. The other two were Candy Hannemann in 2001 and Virada Nirapathpongpom in 2002.

XIAN QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Debra Vento will compete in the high jump at theNCAA Championships this weekend in Sacramento, Calif. with the weekend results as well, though he had also previously expected senior Meaghan Leon to qualify in the 1,500.

“We though Meaghan had a shot to qualify—certainly if she had run a time as fast as she had earlier in the year she would have made it,” Ogilvie said. “We went five-for-six, however, which is excellent in that situation.”

Also disappointing was Nick Schneider’s failure to qualify in the 5,000-meter run. Needing to finish in the top ten in

order to earn a bid, the senior completed the race in 12th place with a time of 14:14.

“Nick ran a fairly good race.” Ogilvie said, “He just came up a little short.”

Entering the championships, Ogilvie has high expectations for his team, especially Rowbury, whom he feels has the experience and poise to win a title in the 1,500.

“She’s a two time All-American in track,” Ogilvie said. “She’s definitely one of the top runners in the country, and she knows that.”

Smith’s day started poorly, bogeying his first two holes, and it was a struggle for him to get back to par. He birdied two of four holes in one stretch on the back nine but gave three strokes away on his final three holes and finished with a 4over 74.

“Nate was a little concerned about his

round,” Myers said. “He gave three strokes away at the end which is not like him. But he still fought awfully hard out there.”

Duke’s final two players, sophomore Jake Grodzinsky and freshman Michael Quagliano, carded a 74 and a 76, respectively. Quagliano’s day started auspiciously with a birdie on the first hole, but it was his only birdie of the round. Grodzinsky struck the ball well but putted poorly, Myers said.

Despite her outstanding season, she failed to qualify for the final U.S. World Cup team, which was announced Wednesday. No current collegiate players made the team, but Chrest will still participate as a member of the training squad.

Turning around Duke's program will be no easy taskfor whoever takes over as head coach next season.

SEARCH from page 9 top-ranked Green Wave. “I think that the model we have here at Tulane of great academics and great baseball is something that can be applied at Duke.”

Moranda, who has never actively pursued a head coaching job before despite having served as an assistant within the ACC for the past 16 seasons, cited similar reasons for why the Duke job attracted him.

Many of the best baseball programs in the nation exist at academic-oriented institutions like Stanford, Rice, the University of California at Berkeley, and Tulane, Moranda pointed out. He doesn’t see why

the Blue Devils cannot compete at the same level as long as the athletic administration makes a commitment to improve the program.

“There are a lot of great programs in our league,” Moranda said. “If you have administrative support that says, ‘Hey, we want to compete at the highest level,’ then at a place like Duke it can happen.”

Toman brings experience as a superb recruiter in two of the nation’s premier conferences, the ACC and the SEC. He has played a role in recruiting 13 top-25 classes during his time at N.C. State and South Carolina.

In his eighth year at the helm of the Tigers, Bradley led Princeton to a 17-24

and is a friend of Duke Athletic Director Joe Alieva, has experience as an assistant coach within the ACC. Regardless of who Duke hires, overcoming a long tradition of losing will not be an easy task.

“I don’t think anybody can turn a program around right away, especially in a sport where it is a fairly large team,” Kennedy said.

Rising junior Corey Whiting said he expects the University to hire a proven winner who can invigorate the program with his enthusiasm. With similar academic prowess and competing athletics, players compared the situation at Duke to Stanford, which just earned its 12th straight bid to the NCAA Regionals.

“Stanford has been very successful, and I see us being able to reach their level of success,” rising senior Adam Murray said. “Duke is definitely a sleeping giant. If we get a good hire here and continue to move in the right direction there is no reason we cannot compete like Stanford does.”

Also sitting on the search committee is Faculty Athletic Representative Kathleen Smith, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Larry Virgin, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek, and former Duke baseball players David Norman and Eric Albright. Athletic Director Joe Alieva will be involved in the interviewing process and final decision, but will not be involved in sifting through the applications, Kennedy said.

Kingston, Toman and Moranda’s teams all received invitations to the NCAA Regionals, and the coaches plan on waiting until their teams complete their seasons before interviewing. The Championship series will be held June 25-27.

HOPKINS from page 1 As a result of a combination of poor

shooting by Duke and an unyielding defensive effort by the Johns Hopkins’ longsticks, the goal would be the only one die

nation’s best offense would score in the second half. Duke’s shots regularly sailed direcdy to Schwartzman, while the Blue Jays tried to cut down on passing opportunities and force the Blue Devils into oneon-one situations.

“They were getting their skip passes, so we uied to limit those,” tournament Most Outstanding Player Schwartzman said of adjustments his team made at halftime. “I think that really helped out because [Duke] is a great passing team.”

With Duke’s offense shut down, the Blue Jays fueled their comeback after the break. Johns Hopkins took twelve shots in the third quarter, equaling their entire first half total, and began chipping away at the Blue Devils’ lead. A goal by Paul Rabil at 5:56 brought them back to within one, and Greg Peyser’s goal with 47 seconds to go in the period tied the score at eight going into the decisive fourth quarter.

“Basically at the end of a game, you hope people are going to be able to make plays” Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala said.

His players did just that, as the Blue Jays final three goals were all unassisted.

Duke’s Danowski finished the game with two goals and four assists, while fellow attackers Matt Zash and Dan Flannery each added a pair. Freshman Zach Greer, who entered the game with an ACCrecord 57 goals, was pursued all afternoon

by Johns Hopkins’ Chris Watson and was held to a single assist.

In his final collegiate game, Duke goalie Aaron Fenton had a difficult time in the cage. The fifth-year senior recorded Just one save in the first half, allowing six Blue Jay goals on only 12 shots. Indicative of the

MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Junior Kyle Dowd put Duke on the board with an unassisted goal 1:53 into thefirst period Monday.

All-American’s tough afternoon, one Johns Hopkins shot hit off of Fenton’s shoe and rolled into the back of the net.

“I think as a whole, our defense played pretty well,” Fenton said. “You just got to give Hopkins credit—l feel like they shot the ball really well. There were probably a couple I think I probably should have had, but I wasn’t on today like I usually am.”

For Duke, the loss was a disappointing

end to an otherwise successful season. But graduating only three starting seniors, the Blue Devils held on to the belief that they would return to college lacrosse’s grandest stage in 2006.

“Next year I expect to be in the same place, but in a happy locker room,” Danowski said. “It was a good experience, I guess, to put it in the best terms possible.

We’re going to come back here and we’re gonna do it again.”

TOM MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Matt Zash scored two goals in the first half, but he could not find theback of the net in the second.

OFFENSE from page 9 plays like it had against Maryland two days earlier.

“I was really disappointed how we shot the ball,” Pressler said. “We won the faceoffs, we cleared the ball, we did everything else except put the ball into the goal.”

A large part of Duke’s offensive woes can be blamed on bad shot location. Instead of forcing the Blue Jays’ goalie Jesse Schwartzman to make saves, the Blue Devils frequently rocketed the ball right at his body. As a result, the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player simply had to position himself well to keep Duke off the scoreboard.

“You’re hitting the goal tender, you’re shooting poorly,” Pressler said.

“What we usually do is shoot it so it goes in or wide of the goal. That way, you get the ball back. Today, it was like we were one and done.”

Schwartzman recorded 12 saves in the contest, seven of which came after the halftime break. In addition, the sophomore goalkeeper saved 78 percent of Duke’s shots in the second half versus just 25 percent in the first.

Further compounding Duke’s problems was the excellent play of Johns Hopkins’ defense. After allowing the Blue Devils to take IfTshots in each of the first two quarters, the Blue Jays held Duke to just 11 shots in the entire second half. Johns Hopkins held, Duke scoreless for the games’ final 28 minutes and 43 seconds.

“We had put in a game plan where we were going to do some ball-side adjacent sliding early, and they got one or two on us early,” Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala said. “We were a little concerned and when we called the time out we decided to switch back to what we do normally. Back to basics. Defense played great in the second half.”

Most impressive of all, however, was Blue Jays’ defenseman Chris Watson’s coverage of Zack Greer. After torching Maryland for four goals on Saturday, the ACC’s single-season record-holder for goals scored became a marked man Monday, and Greer’s stats showed it. Closely followed all afternoon, the freshman was only able to muster one shot and record a single assist.

“It’s tough to play in Zach’s position,” Danowski said. “He probably was the most concentrated-on player in the game today. They had a plan where they weren’t going to slide off of him.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a lot of opportunities position-wise for him to get goals.”

Sometimes anonymity is a necessary veil for whistleblowers to come forward and rooting out corruption ought to always be a goal of the media. But such protection needs to be judiciously granted. Trivial comments ought not merit security.

At best, anonymous sources should be used as guides for further reporting.

The proliferation of unnamed sources in today’s media is troubling—not necessarily because anonymity is

being improperly employed in individual situations but because on the whole too much information is coming from unclear sources. So much of news, particularly political news, is already a litany of “he said-she said” that it is particularly troubling when the “he”s and “she”s are not named.

As Felt comes forward now, he is being heralded as a hero for exposing Nixon’s abuses of power. We doubt all of today’s anonymous sources have given information that would merit the same hero’s reception thirty years from now.

along breathtaking cliffs, ate Cornwall’s famously delicious scones and clotted cream and went to Tintagel (the ruins of the castle where, if he was a person who lived and not a myth or fictional conglomeration of several different people, King Arthur is said to have been conceived. Right.).

But the five-hour drive back to London placed me right smack in the middle of Radio One’s “Coldplay Day,” during which DJs underhandedly appealed to Britons to come to their senses and not allow a fictional character’s wordless and wince-inducing RING TONE to make it to the very pinnacle of the charts.

Facing

allegations of human rights abuse from Amnesty Internationaland a score of organizations in weeks past, both President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney could muster little more than childish responses. Vice President Cheney called the allegations “absurd,” while the President contended that these reports were sensationalized by organizations “that hate America.” Unfortunately, name calling does not soothe the jimmy som raw wounds that still matter of fact remain from abuses at Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay —stories intensified by an Arab media with a voracious appetite for American injustice.

In the features section of the Arab paper Gulf News, an entire page of a May 24 issue has been dedicated to American abuse of the Quran and global reaction to Guantanamo Bay. Across the Arab world, televisions, radios, even school plays have focused on the Cuban prison as a mark of American hypocrisy. Former prisoners become instant celebrities, and they are given virtually unrestricted air time to relay their tales. And if that wasn’t enough, station ads feature American soldiers towering over prisoners in orange jumpsuits.

Even if these stories are lies or exaggerations, they have an emotional resonance that must be addressed.

Piece by piece, story by gruesome story, the battle for hearts and minds is being lost, while the enemy’s resolve is quietly being strengthened. We must begin to consider the administration of justice as the most significant part of the broader war on terror, and not as a needless hurdle. It’s a tough, nearly impossible job, but we signed up for it the day we moved into Iraq and Afghanistan, and it is arguably the only way to achieve our long-term goals for the region.

First things first, there must be zero-tolerance for the desecration of the Quran and the senseless torture of prisoners. These kinds ofactions spawn the bulk of anti-American sentiment, and they are poisonous to our troops and allies working on the ground. Next, we must radically streamline the judicial process so that those detainees who are innocent are quickly released.

It’s operationally taxing, legally questionable, and logically foolish to keep prisoners who have committed no crime. In addition, we must slowly shift detainees into prisons and compounds that are controlled by Iraqis themselves. This is not to say that American troops will not have the opportunity to interrogate, but an American soldier out of sight will soon become an American soldier out of mind. Many of these changes are already underway, but if they are not pursued with due diligence, then we will simply continue to face the same criticism and negative publicity from all corners of the Arab world.

This may also be the time to explore novel solutions.

Though it has been all but neglected by the Bush administration, the time is ripe to expand or reconfigure the purview of the International Criminal Court. With Saddam Hussein awaiting trial, what better way to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to justice than by appealing to the international community? While the administration has been quick to jump on the ICC’s failures, using it judiciously would no doubt silence many of the most vocal critics of U.S. policy and win back muchneeded international cache.

If we reconceptualize the administration of justice as the core of the President’s mantra of “liberty and freedom for all,” then not only can we justify our actions in the region, but we can apply international pressure to other prickly regimes. It’s certainly a more practical approach than twiddling our thumbs while waiting for another eruption like Abu Gharib. And it can only serve to hasten our exit from Iraq.

More than strategic successes, the legacy of the war on terror will be felt if we are able to successfully answer these questions about justice. Ultimately, this legacy will be shaped more by the lasting images and perceptions in the Arab world than by any U.S. policy decision. And these perceptions are only coarsened by our mistreatment and mishandling of justice. We must always remember that in a war on terror, sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can haunt you forever.
