THE CHRONICLE

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell will be the keynote speaker at dedication events Nov. 4 for the David M. Rubenstein Hall, University officials announced Thursday.

In addition to Powell’s speech at 4 p.m. in the Wilson Recreation Center, there will be a series of symposia that day centered on the theme “International Challenges to Public

Policy.”

Rubenstein Hall, the $l3million, 46,500-square-foot addition to the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, doubles the office space available to the institute and provides extra classrooms and multimedia facilities. Completed over the summer, Rubenstein Hall opens for classes today.

“General Powell is one of our nation’s most respected statesmen, and we are really looking forward to welcoming him as we mark this important milestone in the growth and development of the Institute,” Bruce Kuniholm, director of the Sanford Institute, said in a press release.

1206W. Markham Ave., known to many studentsas"Blue House," was one of severalresidences at which Alcohol Law Enforcement agents broke up parties during orientation week.More than 90 students were citedfor alcohol violations at the house Thursday.

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

Students arriving at Duke for the fall semester were in for a rude awakening when they ventured out to the first parties of the year: agents of North Carolina’s Alcohol Law Enforcement issuing scores of citations for violations of drinking laws.

One hundred and ninety-four people were cited by ALE agents at bars, houses and stores around Duke’s campus last week, Jeff Lasater, the ALE Raleigh district supervisor said. Most of those cited were Duke students.

One hundred and fifty-nine people were cited with possession ofalcohol by a person under the age of 21. Citations for use of a fictitious identification were given to 22 people, and 13 received citations for aiding and abetting underage persons and possession of alcohol.

Several students interviewed said that in the past, they have worried about members of the Durham and Duke police departments issuing citations. This year, however, students have reported ALE —a division of the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety—breaking up parties off East Campus and stationing themselves at local stores that sell alcohol to identify people breaking drinking laws.

Lasater confirmed that ALE

agents were stationed at Kroger and Food Lion grocery stores on Hillsborough Rd., a BP station on the comer ofMain and Ninth Sts., Satisfaction Restaurant and Bar in Brightleaf Square and George’s Garage on Ninth St. Agents also responded to complaints from neighbors in residential areas off campus.

“The community groups have been very instrumental,” said Ken Pike, assistant director of ALE. “They are very good about notifying the police when these parties and activities are taking place.”

Lasater said the largest party ALE responded to occurred at 1206 W. Markham Ave. Wednesday night.. Ninety-one citations were issued: 87 for underage possession of alcohol and four for SEE ALE ON PAGE 14

Hurricane Katrina nears New Orleans by

Allen Breed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS The monstrous Hurricane Katrina barreled toward New Orleans Sunday with 160-mph winds and a threat of a 28-foot storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation of the below-sea-level city and prayers for those who remained to face a doomsday scenario.

“Have God on your side, definitely have God on your side,” Nancy Noble said. “It’s very frightening.”

Katrina intensified into a Category 5 giant over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico, reaching top winds of 175 mph before weakening slightly on a path to hit New

Orleans around sunrise Monday. It wouldbe the city’s first direct hit in 40 years and the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.

Forecasters warned that Mississippi and Alabama are also in danger because Katrina is such a big storm, with hurricaneforce winds extending up to 105 miles from the center. In addition to the winds, the storm packed the potential for 30-foot waves and as many as 15 inches ofrain.

“The conditions have to be absolutely perfect to have a hurricane become this strong,” said Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center. He added that Katrina may yet be more powerful than the last Category 5 storm, 1992’s Hurricane

Andrew, which at 165 mph leveled parts of South Florida, killed 43 people and caused $3l billion in damage.

“It’s capable of causing catastrophic damage,” Mayfield said. “Even well-built structures will have tremendous damage. Of course, what we’re really worried about is the loss oflives.

“New Orleans may never be the same.”

By evening, the first squalls, driving rains and lightning began hitting New Orleans.

Sunnis reject new Iraqi constitution by

Robert Reid

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraqi negotiators finished the new constitution Sunday and referred it to the voters but without the endorsement ofSunni Arabs, a major setback for the U.S. strategy to lure Sunnis away from the insurgency and hasten the day U.S. troops can go home.

The absence of Sunni Arab endorsement—after more than two months of intensive negotiations —raised fears of more violence and set the stage for a bitter political fight ahead of an Oct. 15 nationwide referendum on the document.

A political battle along religious and ethnic lines threatened to sharpen communal divisions at a time when relations among the Shiites, Sunni Arabs and Kurds appear to be worsening.

Sunni negotiators delivered their rejection in a joint statement shortly after the draft was submitted to parliament. They branded the final version as “illegitimate” and asked the Arab League, the United Nations and “international organizations” to intervene against the document.

Intervention is unlikely, however, and no further amendments to the draft are possible under the law, said Hussein Addab, a ■ V> •

“I think if this constitution passes as it is, it will worsen everything in the country,” said Sunni negotiator Saleh al-Mudaq.

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

In her 15thconsecutive year speaking in the Duke Chapel during the University's an-' nual orientation week, poet and educator Maya Angelou, 77, told the Class of 2009 to be lights for others as they make their way down the path of life. Angelou, a Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University, began her annual speech by singing "ThisLittle Light of Mine." Amid the masses of freshmen, several upperclassmen returned to hear Angelou's words of wisdom, taking part in one of Duke's most beloved traditions and well-attended orientation events.

Duke University Health System officials announced earlier this month that they are hiring an outside firm to monitor the long-term health of patients on whom surgeries were performed in late 2004 with tools exposed to used elevator hydraulic fluid.

The firm—which has not yet been hired and will be selectedwithin the next few weeks— will compile health information and track the patients affected by the mishap, which occurred after a local elevator company employee accidentally drained the fluid into drums labeled as containing detergent used to clean surgical instruments.

Patient advocates began calling for Duke to set up such a tracking system since the University announced the accidental exposures last January.

“Although toxicologists that have been involved still believe this level of exposure should not be associated with any impact on human health, we have heard patients’ concerns and we agree as well that follow-up is appropriate,” said Dr. Michael Cuffe, vice president for medical affairs at DUHS. “I would like to be at the place where we are doing followups much longer than experts say are necessary, and in the end it shows nothing and puts to ease patients’ fears.”

Cuffe said Duke is compiling information from patient histories, public records, media reports and other sources to create an all-inclusive database to track the patients. He added that hiring the independent organization is necessary because it allows those disillusioned with Duke because of the incident to have a place where their concerns can be heard.

Several patients have complained about prolonged injuries and DUHS’ slowness in releasing information about its error since employees at Duke Health Raleigh and Durham Regional Hospital —both DUHS facilities—reported using surgical tools that had accidentally been washed with the fluid in one step of the standard cleaning process.

A judge ruled Aug. 8 that patients could seek compensation for punitive damages. No suits have yet been filed against Duke. Two lawsuits have been filed against Automatic Elevator Co. and Cardinal Health, the elevator company that drained the hydraulic fluid into drums and the supplier of the detergent, respectively.

Carol Svec, a health writer from Raleigh and patient activist for those affected by the hydraulic fluid debacle, said she was cautiously optimistic about Duke hiring the outside firm.

Summer program offers local kids a helping hand by

McCoy THE CHRONICLE

Elizabeth

Does Billy Hwang ever get the chance

to sleep? Very rarely, his mother says.

But with his busy schedule, it’s no surprise that Hwang is all go, all the time—especially this summer.

TIAN QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Students volunteer at InnoWorks summer camp, which was started by Pratt senior Billy Hwang (bottom right).

The Pratt senior is the CEO and cofounder of United InnoWorks Academy, Inc., a non-profit group that works year-round to organize an annual one-week science and engineering summer camp for underprivileged middle schoolers.

Hwang, who fostered his passion for science and engineering at his magnet high school and several educational summer camps, was motivated to create InnoWorks by a track teammate who was granted fewer educational opportunities than Hwang during his early years.

“I decided to devote myself to something that could bring opportunities, like the ones I had, to the underprivileged children that needed it the most,” Hwang wrote in the preface to the InnoWorks instructional guidebook.

The first InnoWorks camp was launched at the University of Maryland in the summer of 2004 near Hwang’s hometown of Potomac, Md. The primary objectives were improving campers’ attitudes toward and building their confidence in didactic environments.

“We want to design a very accessible program that supplements what’s going on in school, and we want to figure out away to go beyond a one-week summer camp to really have an impact,” Hwang said of InnoWorks’ yearly goals.

This year InnoWorks spread to Duke’s campus with the help of many Duke professors who allowed the camp to borrow their equipment and facilities. Due to the sponsorship of major corporations, including GlaxoSmithKline Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Burroughs Welcome Fund, the program—along with equipment, food, t-shirts, awards and transportation—-

is free of charge to the students.

More than 40 Duke students are a part of the InnoWorks team, which meets regularly throughout the school year and more frequently during the summer to solicit sponsorship, recruit volunteers and prepare the curriculum for the summer camp.

Some of the counselors for the Duke chapter were already in Durham doing research or taking classes for the summer.

But many students came back just to be a part of InnoWorks.

“The dedication of the staff is unbelievable,” Hwang said. “When I started organizing it, I didn’t imagine that on a volunteer basis people would be giving up their time and summer Jobs. So it’s very heartwarming to see that.”

Hwang and his chief officers—including Duke seniors Matt Mian, Daniel Kaplan, Vineet Agrawal, Amit Patel and Jessica Manson —based much of InnoWorks’ teachings on the research of education psychologists, but they also formulated their own hypotheses about how to personalize mentoring.

“It’s taught me a lot about working on a team; organizational skills—what works organizationally, what doesn’t—[hierarchal] structure, how you motivate people and how corporations work,” Kaplan said.

On the last day of the Duke chapter’s camp, the enthusiastic middle schoolers scurried about the auditorium of the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences preparing for their final project: a robotics competition among several teams. The students exuded pride and satisfaction with their team’s various creations.

Pausing from his feverish work on his team’s robot, Jonathan Key, a student at Chewning Middle School, reflected on his InnoWorks experience.

“The mentors have really inspired me and helped me do a bunch of activities to understand the senses and how you use them,” Key said.

Step right up

fundraiser, the Duke Board of Trustees took into account Brodhead’s fundraising

THE CHRONICLE

In President Richard Brodhead’s first year at Duke, the University added almost $276 million to its financial coffers.

The contributions of 100,031 donors—-44,938 of whom are alumni—added up to the third-largest cash total of philanthropic giving in Duke’s history. The $275,815,542 figure represents not pledges but actual dollars received during the 2004-2005 fiscal year.

“Among the many things that drew me to Duke are the loyalty and spirit ofits supporters,” President Richard Brodhead said in a press release.

“Duke donors are a primary reason that our University has always had the character of a rising school, and they give us great confidence that it will continue to have that character.”

Approximately $l9 million more was raised in 2004-2005 than in the previous year, representing an increase of 7.4 percent.

John Bumess, senior vice president for government and public relations, credited the year’s fundraising success to, among other things, an improving economy, the guidance of Vice President for University Development Robert Shepard and Brodhead’s leadership.

Burness noted that because former President Nan Keohane was a renowned

capabilities when it selected him as Keohane’s successor. Brodhead has been warmly received as he has traveled across the country speaking at alumni events, Bumess added, calling the president an

“engaging” speaker.

Gifts to the University’s Annual Fund,

which solicits and coordinates giving for 13 of the University’s schools and divisions, also set a new record last year. It raised $23.1 million—more than eight percent of the almost $276 million total.

The Duke Endowment—a private, nonprofit foundation based in Charlotte —was the biggest single financial contributor last year, giving $3B million to support a variety of causes and funds, including scholarships, academics and community outreach programs.

The two largest annual philanthropic giving totals were in fiscal years 19992000 and 2002-2003, during which $302.6 million and $296.8 million were

raised, respectively.

Both records were set during the sevenyear Campaign for Duke, which ended in 2003 and more than doubled the University’s endowment.

Duke is not currently engaged in a formal fundraising campaign, but officials are planning a financial aid initiative that is set to begin this winter.

Earlier this year, Klein earned full professorship and was named Lee Hill Snowden Professor of Geology.

Gambling monkeys give insight into neural machinery of risk Duke University Medical Center neurobiologists posted in the advanced online version of Nature Neuroscience Aug. 14 that they have pinpointed circuitry in the brains of monkeys that assesses the level of risk in a given action. Their findings were

gathered through giving monkeys a chance to gamble to receive juice rewards.

The scientists found that even when the researchers subjected the monkeys to a string of “losses,” monkeys still continued gambling due to the rewards of a “win.”

The research implications could offer insights into why humans compulsively engage in risky behaviors, including gambling, unsafe sex, drug use and overeating.

evening. A throng gathered trying to get in, and revelers mingled in the courtyard while celebrities including Jessica Alba, Eddie Murphy, Paris Hilton, Game and The Black Eyed Peas were entertained in the VIP room.

Several witnesses said Knight was sitting at a VIP table when a man walked up and opened fire. No one else was injured. Screaming guests fled the party, streaming outside or taking cover in other parts of the hotel.

MIAMI Police had no suspects Sunday in the shooting of rap mogul Suge Knight at an MTV awards party—a typical development in the street-justice world of rap.

Knight, 40, was shot once in the upper right leg shortly after midnight Saturday at a star-studded bash hosted by Kanye West. He was scheduled for surgery to remove a bullet from his leg and repair a broken bone.

A police report described the shooter only as a black male wearing a pink shirt. shooting.

Southern governors decry high gas prices

by Dick Pettys THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO, Ga. Rising gas prices are taking a bigger bite out of state budgets across the South, but it’s a greater financial concern for some states than for others, a survey of seven Southern governors showed.

The governors were interviewed during the annual meeting of the Southern Governors Association, which opened a three-day meeting at a lakeside resort Sunday.

“The price of gas at the pump has impacted this nation. It’s killing all of us,” said West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin.

“We’re seeing it in the cost of doing business running the state. We’re seeing it in the cost of a family trying to take care of themselves.”

He added, “We’re a rural state that depends on mobility for being able to go to work. It’s really impacting us.”

FIRM

from page 3

“Provided it is done well, this is exacdy what we have been asking for since Jan. 7,” Svec said. “I am very happy Duke was willing to hear us and listen to our arguments. It speaks very highly of Dr. Cuffe and [Chancellor of Health Affairs Victor] Dzau... that they were receptive to the patients in this way.”

Svec, who has organized meetings for the affected patients to discuss their ex-

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen said his “fairly strong reserves” and has not experienced a problem yet, but he added, “It’s something we’re paying attention to.”

Virginia also has a fairly healthy surplus, said Gov. Mark Warner, but it also has some unexpected costs, including federal cuts to the Medicaid program and military base closures.

“On a relative basis, the Medicaid and base realignment costs at this point are greater,” he said.

The state’s rising fuel costs are “in the millions of dollars, not the tens or hundreds of millions.”

In South Carolina, “We’ve not yet seen it ripple through in terms of our tax revenue. I think it will ripple through, and I think it will impact both tax revenues and the budget overall,” state has

periences, said she spent at least 40 hours a week in the summer calling—and sometimes fighting—for more transparency and outreach from Duke administrators. She said her group of about 70 patients brings hope to those who feel they are alone in the aftermath, of the mishap.

“I think it is pretty significant that a group of 70 people can get together and work to try and affect change in an organization of 18,000,” Svec said. “We feel like we have moved a mountain.”

David M. Rubenstein Hall, the newest addition to theSanford Institute ofPublic Policy, opensfor classes Monday.

POWELL from page 1 “His extraordinary leadership in international affairs and his advocacy for America’s youth provide an inspiring example to our students.”

Administrators had been in conversation with members of Powell’s staff for the past month and a half, but Powell’s busy schedule prevented the staff from being able to confirm his visit any sooner, said John Burness, senior vice president for government and public relations.

“There was a list with different names at different times... but Colin Powell was always near the top.” Bumess said, citing Powell’s dedication to international and domestic policy.

“He’s just the perfect person to bridge

local, national and international themes of our dedication day,” Sanford Institute spokesperson Karen Kemp told the Herald-Sun of Durham.

Powell, a retired Army general, served as secretary of state during President George W. Bush’s first term from 2001 to 2004. He also previously served as the national security advisor under former President Ronald Reagan as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former President George H. W. Bush.

Powell also founded America’s Promise: The Alliance for Youth, a nonprofit organization that aims to strengthen the character and competence of America’s youth.

Powell has won the Congressional Gold Medal and two Presidential Medals of Freedom.

Officials from the University will "follow-up" on a citation if they receive a copy from Alcohol Law Enforcement. If a student is found guilty, a permanent note will be made on his or her disciplinary record. The disciplinary record is separate from a student's transcript and is kept by the University for eight years after a student graduates. Duke will release the record to future employers if asked. However, students should not be worried about such a notation affecting future employment options.

by Steve Veres -

First-time offenders with no other criminal history should seek deferred prosecution or the First Offenders Program. Both options require that a student pay fines and perform community service as a disciplinary sanction for firsttime misdemeanor offenses.

-

Students who receive deferred prosecution or the First Offenders Program will have citations wiped from their records after a certain period of time has expired. This time can be a max-

aiding and abetting.

The dramatic increase in enforcement from past years

caught many students by surprise—as did the methods agents allegedly used to issue citations. Several students, for instance, reported that ALE used undercover agents to catch people in the act of illegally using or buying alco-

hol. Lasater refused to confirm whether undercover agents were used.

Students also reported as many as 15 agents surrounding houses, sealing the exits and keeping people inside for up to three hours undl all IDs had been checked, breathalyzer tests administered and citations issued.

“They did a pretty good job swarming us,” said sophomore Trisha Cubb, who received a citation for underage possession of alcohol at an off-campus house Saturday night. “They were, like, refusing information. They wouldn’t tell you what would happen if you refused a Breathalyzer. It was like out of a movie.”

Though unacceptable to many students, ALE’s alleged methods have made some people think twice about using fake IDs or partying offcampus.

“The past two nights I didn’t go to off-campus parties because I didn’t want to get written up twice in the first week of school,” said freshman Amy Benzyk, who was cited for underage possession of alcohol at 1206 Markham Ave. “Everyone I’ve talked t0... is a lot more hesitant. It’s just ridiculous.”

Pike said enforcement is increased annually at the beginning of the school year near universities across the state because it is “prime time” for violations of drinking laws. He said the current zero tolerance policy students have experienced around Duke, however, will not disappear anytime soon.

“They will continue these operations throughout the year,” Pike said of the ALE agents’ efforts. “If students choose to break the law, they must suffer the conse-

quences.”

Though parties were regulated more heavily this week-

end than any other in recent memory, some off-East social events were citation-free.

Durham Police Department officers stopped at a house on the corner of Markham Ave. and Gregson St. Friday night, but no citations were issued. Senior Tom Musgrave, who lives in the house, said that after arriving, the officers were “talking about citing and arresting

people.”

“We didn’t try to argue with it, but we said we were sorry and that we’d calm it down a little, and they just left,” Musgrave said.

Despite such exceptions, the overall increase in enforcement has many students questioning the future of Duke’s social life, both on and off campus.

“They way he looked at me was like he was implying there was going to be no off-campus social life anymore,” Cubb said of the ALE agent who cited her.

Associate Dean for Judicial Affairs Stephen Bryan said he was unaware of the crackdown but added that the University will respond to each citation it receives a copy of by communicating with the involved students.

Several students reported that on-campus enforcement of drinking laws was lax during orientation week, but the administration said it is not ready to play host to large parties where students drink illegally.

“We are not going to be open to large numbers of underage students drinking on campus,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. “What we need is a redefinition of social life.”

Echoing Moneta, Claire Robbins, campus community organizer of BIueSPARC, a division of the Dean of Students Office that aims to reduce the negative consequences of alcohol consumption and has collaborated with ALE to curb dangerous drinking activities off campus, said students should seek safe and healthy partying alternatives.

“I think there are proactive ways to have the events [students] want to have and not get in trouble,” Robbins said.

Josh Parker, a local community activist and former resident of the Trinity Park neighborhood off East, said the administration could do more to give students social outlets on campus.

“The administrators are going to have to seriously look at what opportunities they are providing to students,” Parker said. “The students and administrators need more communication about how [those opportunides] can happen.”

Moneta also noted thatLast Day of Classes and tailgating—events that traditionally feature large-scale underage alcohol consumption on'campus—will need to be reviewed.

KNIGHT from page 10

Encore

superstar rappers like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur in his stable, plus a horde of Bloods gang members from his native Los Angeles on his payroll, he made millions and enemies in equal abundance.

His fortunes started to slide when Shakur was shot and killed in 1996 while riding in the passenger seat ofKnight’s car.

The shooting took place after the pair stomped a gang rival in a Las Vegas hotel; the attack resulted in Knight’s imprisonment for violating his parole.

At the time, Knight had been cultivating a feud with Sean Combs’ Bad Boy label in a so-called “rap war,” and Bad Boy’s top artist, the Notorious 8.1. G., was gunned down months later in Los Angeles. Relatives of 8.1.G. have accused Knight of involvement in that slaying, but police have never named Knight as a suspect.

There have been no arrests in the slayings of Shakur, 8.1. G., Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay, or several other famous rappers who have been shot over the years.

It seems unlikely that will change with

Knight’s shooting.

WALKWAY fomp,e, looking forward to having the walkway closed,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs and point person for the plaza project.

TOM MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Construction workers will slice the Bryan Center walkway and remove its concrete pieces by crane.

Workers spent the past few weeks erecting metal fencing around the perimeter of the plaza site as well as locating and marking underground utility points so that all power lines can be avoided during construction. This week, workers will likely clear shrubbery and trees from the surrounding areas before more extensive construction begins.

Although officials originally announced that the destruction of the walkway would begin over the summer, Moneta explained that the complexity of the project necessitated a delay.

“It’s very complicated,” he said, noting that identifying utility lines took longer than expected. “It’s the reality of trying to build in an area that had been active for years.”

Moneta said he recognized that disturbance to students over the next year is inevitable but said his personal goal is to minimize disruption as much as possible during construction.

“I will apologize profusely,” he said.

Nonetheless, many students expressed annoyance about the removal of the walkway and construction of the plaza.

“It’s going to suck and be really inconvenient—and it sucks to be inconvenienced,” sophomore Tyler Watson said.

Other students bemoaned the coming construction, even while acknowledging the advantages of the $lO-million plaza, which include spaces for socializing, performing and dining.

“I feel like ever since I’ve gotten [to Duke] there’s been construction,” said senior Erica Fritz. “I know it’s good for future classes, but it’s a hassle.”

And though the narrow concrete walkway is considered an eyesore by some, many new students getting acclimated to West said they are disappointed that one of the campus landmarks they just became acquainted with is being removed.

“I just got oriented and now it’s closing,” said junior Anna Gandziarowki, who is studying abroad at Duke from Freie University in Berlin, Germany. “It’s one of the points where most people meet.”

Despite several negative student reactions to news of the upcoming construction, there were also those who suggested that the benefits of the plaza could outweigh the costs of having to deal with the noise and confusion of the walkway removal and subsequent construction.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said sophomore Russell Posner. “It’s going to be great to have a place to hang out, a good place for people to be.”

Public Policy Studies Course Still Open!!

PUBPOL 2645.27 Youth Transitions to the Work Force

Professor Kinlaw What are the concerns of adolescents as they prepare to enter the workforce? Is it "all about the money"? What opportunities and obstacles do adolescents face as they prepare for participation in the labor force?

What are the consequences of holding part-time jobs? Does education always open doors? What public programs have been implemented in order to support the transition into work? These are some of the questions to be addressed in this course. We will examine factors that influence the career decision-making process and policies aimed at enhancing the entry into the workforce. Relevant issues at the individual, school, state, and federal levels will be considered.

GAS from page 12 said Gov. Mark Sanford Tm worried about what happens next in regards to the economy....lf this trend holds regarding gas prices, I think it has frightening consequences not only in South Carolina but, frankly, nationwide,” he added.

And what will voters do in the midterm elections next year if gas prices stay high?

“I’m sure there’ll be some political hack somewhere that will try to blame someone for something. They always do,” said Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

“But by and large the electors are smarter than that. They realize prices go up and down because of supply and demand.”

Virginia’s Warner said, “I don’t get the sense that consumers have fixed the blame yet... I think we may be one event away or some catalyst away from that blame being pointed at Washington or the administration. I’m not sure it’s there yet.”

Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said voters “aren’t always able to distinguish issues that elected officials should be blamed for and ones they shouldn’t.”

This is one they can not control, he said.

Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, this year’s SGA chair, said, “I don’t see a partisan component to this. I see a certain anxiety.”

People in pain want answers and solutions, he said, but he added, “Solutions are very limited in a country that believes in free markets.”

CLINIC from page 8 the local economy.

“I used to do tours of Holton school, and I would ask [students] to dare to dream,” he said.

However, the vision for the wellness center is still tentative; several measures must still be taken to make this dream a reality.

“There are more good people in the neighborhood than there are bad,” Whitley said.

“There are many good things in east Durham that shine way above all of this wrong. And this project is coming about because good people have decided to do

something.”

“I’m just part of that leadership.”

as it headed for New Orleans By 11 p.m. EDT, Katrina’s eye was about 105 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River and 170 miles south-southeast ofNew Orleans. The storm was moving toward the north-northwest at about 10 mph and was expected to turn toward the north. A hurricane warning was in effect for the north-central GulfCoast from Morgan City, La., to the Alabama-Florida line.

Despite the dire predictions, a group of residents in a poor neighborhood of central New Orleans sat on a porch with no car, no way out and, surprisingly, no fear.

“We’re not evacuating,” said Julie Paul.

The 70,000-seat Supv,^ome; the home of football’s Saints, opened at daybreak Sunday, giving first priority to frail, elderly people on walkers, some with oxygen tanks. “

They were told to bring enough food, water and medicine to last up to five days.

“They told us not to stay in our houses because it wasn’t safe,” said Victoria Young, 76, who sat amid plastic bags and a metal walker. “It’s not safe anywhere when you’re in the shape we’re in.”

In the French Quarter, most bars that stayed open through the threat of past hurricanes were boarded up and the few people on the streets were battening down their businesses and getting out. But a few stragglers remained.

Tony Peterson leaned over a balcony above Bourbon Street, festooned with gold, purple and green wreaths as Katrina’s first rains pelted his shaved head.

“I was going to the Superdome and then I saw the two-mile line,” the 42-yearold musician said. “I figure if I’m going to die, I’m going to die with cold beer and my best buds.”

Ghazi al-Yawer, the country’s Sunni vice president, did not showup at a Sunday ceremony marking completion of the document. Senior government officials laughed and expressed skepticism at the excuse that al-Yawer was ill.

“The constitution is left to our people to approve orreject it,” said President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd. “I hope that our people will accept it despite some flaws.”

ties, at restaurants and at popular bars.

But college students are not likely to give up beer and liquor any time soon.

And anecdotal evidence from this past weekend suggests that the next hospitable venue may already be emerging.

As it becomes increasingly harder for three-quarters of Duke’s undergraduates to drink openly beyond Duke’s Gothic shadow, students said that RCs and residential advisors seemed less anxious to notice beer-filled Solo cups and even vodka-spiked Snapple. Perhaps the social scene, particularly medium-sized gatherings of 20 to 40 people, will rediscover its niche in the dorms and quads once again.

The confluence of an campus crackdown and an campus blindness to under age drinking could serve to nudge social life back toward where most underage students actually live—a move that would increase safety as the likelihood of walks solitary long, through dark streets and the potential for drunk

drinking certainly seems a possibility, the dark maze of West Campus corridors is still a poor gathering space for the hundreds of students who, until last weekend, flocked to the house parties off East. If the geographic shift is going to occur again, the lax policies toward underage drinking will have to extend from the dorms into the quads themselves. Only with a little bit of fresh air and space will Duke parties be able to thrive in the safer locales from whence they came.

for fake identifications have jumped from only 271 in 2000 to 637 last year.

The message that should be clear in these numbers is that the ALE is serious about de-

lent crime. The Alcohol Law Enforcement is solely devoted to enforcing the state laws governing alcohol, tobacco, controlled substances and gambling—basically, theirjob is to limit underage vices. The 104 sworn agents with the division are trained to handle firearms and to use deadly force.

They are not police officers, but ALE agents can arrest people or take other investigatory or enforcement actions for any criminal offense.

In the past four years, the number of ALE arrests for offenses related to alcohol has increased by more than 50 percent to 6,229 in 2004. Annual arrests

and they are getting better at their job. Like it or not, North Carolina law sets the drinking age at 21, and it’s just as illegal to give alcohol to a minor as it is to consume it. The ALE’s job is more than just enforcement of these laws, though. According to the state website, they also conduct educational programs about the consequences of underage drinking. These programs are emphasized during graduations and spring breaks.

Welcome to Duke

In

an unprecedented sdng operation that looked more Hollywood than higher education, undercover Alcohol Law Enforcement officers in conjunction with uniformed Durham police officers stormed an off-

campus fraternity house

began, the two law enforcement departments handed out 87-plus citations that evening, including more than 20 to freshmen. The University will be well-represented in local court on Tuesday, Oct. 11.

After cordoning off the house, more than a dozen officers engaged in a warrant-less search of the entire premises. Refusing to let anyone leave, the officers remained at the site for more than three hours. Forget Miranda; students present said the officers not only strong-armed students into taking breathalyzers but also harassed many young females in attendance—in one instance, even making derogatory comments regarding one student’s clothing.

It is obviously difficult for me to remain

objective considering that I am a member of the aforementioned fraternity and that some of my closest friends were targeted by the overly aggressive behavior of law enforcement officers. But, for me, this is not about police brutality or abuse of power but rather about the Duke administration’s failure to address the diminishing social options at this University.

Princeton has the Street; Emory, Fraternity Row; and Yale, the Residential College system. Duke, meanwhile, has a halfcocked quad system that has yet to create any sense of intra-quad unity outside of the bottle-openers and barbecues RAs are compelled to organize. Instead of trying to accommodate the needs of greek life, the administration has decided to punish greek and non-greek students alike by forcing fraternities to reside in dorms with non-greek students living above and below them. The University has driven fraternities to rent non-contiguous housing off campus, interspersed with families and young professionals.

Fraternities at Duke are a far cry from their out-of-control counterparts depicted in Animal House and Old School. They are composed of future doctors, lawyers, politicians and academics who want to enjoy their four years of college before entering the workforce full-time. We are more than capable of acting as “civilized adults” and curbing any outlandish behavior. But we want some form of organ-

ized release from the regular routine and workload similar to what our friends enjoy at other top universities across the country.

I am not calling for a return to the mythic Duke of old when beer trucks lined the quad and the Hideaway was open for business. I am instead asking for a coherent social policy that recognizes students’ need for large and significant social gatherings. Basketball games are great, and I am really looking forward to the upcoming Michael Franti and Spearhead concert. But the games end by 10 p.m. and the concert is only one Friday night out of the semester.

The long-term solution lies in the renovation of Central Campus where fraternities and selective living groups could enjoy sufficient living space to organize large social gatherings. Students can then be their own neighbors and not worry about justifiable noise complains from the full-time residents off East Campus.

The renovations, however, have yet to commence, and students are left without any form of short-term compromise that would keep freshmen from flocking to off-campus houses and seniors from ending up in court. Now, registered parties are closed down for the slightest provocation, fraternities are threatened with probation, and neighbors are understandably upset by the late-night partying.

Instead of provosts and faculty mem-

Town hall-style meetings dedicated to the subject of Duke’s dwindling social scene are beneficial, but unrealistic expectations and empty promises are not the key to solving the fundamental problem at hand.

I have had a wonderful three years at Duke and have been looking forward to my senior year all summer. But I am 21 years old and enjoyed large section parties when I was a freshman and sophomore. I am just not sure if I can now recommend Duke to a high schooler looking for an institution with strong academics and a lively social scene.

Good luck freshmen—it is clearly never too early to retain the services of a good attorney.

VOLLEYBALL

NCAA Tournament snub motivates Blue Devils by

Alex Fanaroff

THE CHRONICLE

Last year’s volleyball team finished third in the ACC with a 20-10 record. The Blue Devils ranked 38th in the final Ratings Percentage Index and they advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament before losing to eventual champion Maryland. Despite their impressive credentials, they did not receive an invitation to the NCAA Tournament.

So, volleyball coach Jolene Nagel, were you upset about that?

“That’s an understatement. We talked about that the first day and I think that’s going to be an underlying theme for us throughout the season,” Nagel said. “I think we’re really going to use that to help motivate us—how awful we felt learning that news so we don’t have to feel it again.

“There were teams in the 90s and the 80s RPI-wise that were deep in their conferences that got into the NCAAs. The sixth team in a conference had a 90-some RPI

and they got in, so we’re really kind of a team with a chip on our shoulder.”

Providing even more motivation for the Blue Devils is their top ranking in the preseason ACC coaches’ poll. Duke was picked to finish ninth in the conference in last year’s preseason poll and used the snub as an inspiration to work harder. This year, Nagel says that high preseason expectations will push the team to prove itself worthy every match.

“It doesn’t mean anything to be preseason No. 1,” setter Ali Hausfeld said. “We want to be at the top of the league and we should be consistently ranked this high in the preseason.”

One of the major differences between this season and last is a new ACC schedule.

The conference tournament has been dropped in favor of a double round-robin format that has each team playing 22 conference games —a home game and an away game against each ACC opponent.

FIELD HOCKEY

Duke aims to snap title game losing streak by

Galen Vaisman THE CHRONICLE

In each of the past two seasons, Duke has found itself on the brink of winning the national title. On both occasions, however, the team has come up short, losing to rival Wake Forest in the championship game.

This season, the Blue Devils hope their postseason experience will give them the edge they need to finally accomplish their ultimate goals of winning the program’s first ACC title and first national championship.

“I think it’s the experience that the core of this team has that will get us through,” senior Kirsten Bosman said. “The team is really close thisyear, and we all just want to work for each other. I think that’s going to be the main difference and give us an extra edge when it comes to that final game.”

The Blue Devils will return eight starters from last season’s team, making them one of the most experienced squads in the country. In addition, the team’s core will be supplemented by an incoming freshman class that features athletes from many of the nation’s premiere field hockey schools.

“Just the confidence and skills that they bring as incoming freshman is incredible,” Bosman said. “I think they’ll be a key asset to the team this year. They’re all going to be getting significant playing time and will be an important part.”

Much ofDuke’s strength lies in its explosive offense, which scored a school record 117 goals last season. Headlining the unit are senior forwards Nicole Dudek and Katie Grant. Their 119 combined points (44 goals and 31 assists) were the most scored by any two teammates in the country.

“Katie and I have been playing together for a couple ofyears now,” Dudek said. “We have a great connection with making eye contact, knowing where one another is going to be, working together and putting it in the goal.”

The Blue Devils’ attack will be supported by one of the country’s strongest midfields, which will be anchored by juniors Hilary Linton and Amy Stopford. Linton

THE CHRONICLE

Last year went down in the record books as the best women’s cross country season Duke has ever seen.

The Blue Devils finished first in the ACC and second in the nation. Sally Meyerhoff finished first overall at the ACC Championships. Duke placed four runners in the top 50 at the ACC Championships.

But this year, the Blue Devils have their sights set even higher.

With five of the seven runners that ran at the National Championship meet returning, including the top four finishers, the Blue Devils have their sights set on the first national championship in women’s cross country in Duke’s history.

“I know that this year we’re a little bit

deeper, so I think our one to five spread could be better,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “I just hope that our first, second, third and fourth [runners] can move up a couple slots and that’s really all we can do.”

Depth was already a strong point for Duke last year; five of Duke’s eight competitors in the ACC Championship finished in the top 10. With the addition of 12 new freshmen and the return of most of the key parts of last year’s team, Jermyn hopes his team can achieve its goals by improving individual performances across the board.

“We’re just trying to focus on what each individual needs to do to be better themselves,” Jermyn said. “So multiply that by five or seven or however many people we have on the team and you get yourself a

Stanley much better team.”

Although Jermyn said that Blue Devil standouts this year could be from any class, the senior class appears strongest. Seniors Sally Meyerhoff, Shannon Rowbury and Natasha Roetter achieved All-America honors in cross-country last year.

“We have more seniors than we’ve ever had before,” Jermyn said. “For many of them this would be their last [NCAA] championship meet and the fact that we could improve on last year definitely could be internalized as extra pressure.

Right now, I think they’re very, very confident in terms of they all feel very, very prepared to do better than they did in the past season.”

In addition to physical preparation, the team’s focus and mindset will prove to be

essential to Duke’s success this season.

“There’s a lot of work to be done and a lot of mental preparation and stuff,” senior Laura Stanley said. “So much of cross country is mental in the end because once you get to the NCAAs everyone’s good. I think we just really need to work on being a unit, and I can already tell we’re stronger.

I think everyone knows what we can accomplish, we just have to get it done.”

The Blue Devils will host North Carolina Central University to open their season Sept. 7 in Durham, From there, all roads lead to Terre Haute, Ind., Nov. 21 —home of the 2005 NCAA Championships.

“I feel very, very confident that we have the talent and the experience to really be betterand stronger than we were last year,” Jermyn said.

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

Blue Devils set sights on postseason berth by

Sarah Kwak

THE CHRONICLE

Junior Keith Kreiger, Jon Fox and Billy Kennedy spent this summer together running through the foothills of Poland.

When they weren’t teaching English to underprivileged children, they took breezy days to train together and prepare for the upcoming year.

The teammates are hoping that their summer training will pay dividends come fall.

This season, the men’s cross country seems to have what it lacked last year—depth beyond its top four runners.

Even though they lost their two fastest runners from last season, the Blue Devils remain optimistic about the overall strength of the team.

“There were a lot of signs last year that we were close to qualifying for the NCAAs,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “In fact, we were very strong through four men, but we team

•

were definitely lacking a fifth man last year.”

With the addition of two high school AllAmerican runners and the further development of their returnees, the Blue Devils believe they will be able to compensate for the graduafions of Michael Hatch and Nick Schneider, last year’s top two runners.

Beginning with last year’s successful spring track season, the distance runners have continued to improve, and a handful qualified for the 10,000- and 5,000-meter runs at last year’s season-ending IC4A Championships. Kreiger, who will most likely lead the Blue Devils this season, placed 11th in the 5,000-meter run at the

Championship meet.

Following closely behind Kreiger, sophomore Chris Spooner will try to improve upon his rookie performance. As a freshman, Spooner was the second-best first-year SEE MEN’S XC ON PAGE 10

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

This season promises to be different for the women’s soccer team.

For the first time in head coach Robbie Church’s five-year tenure, his team is ranked in the top ten in several preseason

polls.

“This is our fifth season together and I think it is a season we have been building toward,” Church said. “We’ve shown improvement in each of our seasons and so we go into this season with much anticipation. We’ve got a very good team —there is no question about that. We have a lot of talent out there.”

The Blue Devils’ record has improved in each of Church’s four previous seasons.

Last year they finished 15-8-, which included a trip to the Sweet 16 and an upset of No. 3 Virginia in the NCAA Tournament’s second round.

But with its recent success, the national perception of Duke (1-0-1), which is ranked 12th in the' NSCAA, is changing. and Church said his team welcomes the opportunity to prove that the recognition is well deserved.

“We’ve always done a really good job of being a team that hunts other teams, being the underdog,” Church said. “Now.. .every-

body is going to come out and give us their best shot. We used to circle a couple games

on our calendar—there are still some we circle on our calendars—but now we’re being circled by a lot of people. So we’ve got to learn to respond to that.”

Fortunately, the Blue Devils are an experienced team, returning 10 of their 11 starters from last year. However, sophomore Lorraine Quinn will be sidelined for the entire season after having surgery to repair an injury to her left foot. Senior tricaptain Kate Seibert will also be inactive until likely the Duke/adidas Classic, Sept.

surgery in her left ankle.

The combination of Quinn’s injury and the graduation of Casey McCluskey, the 2004 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, led Church to change the team’s formation prior to the preseason. After playing a 4-4-2 almost exclusively for the entire 2004 season, the Blue Devils will play a 43-3 this year.

“We’re trying to utilize our talent to its fullest so we’ve got to try and work some of those kinks out at this point,” Church said. “We don’t change our ways for many teams but we wanted to be able to show some teams some different looks. We

thought we had some more attacking players this year, so I think [the 4-3-3] fit our personality maybe a little bit better

than the 4-4-2.”

The team is adapting to the adjustments well, tri-captain Carolyn Ford said, but the players are still learning their responsibilities within the configuration. Duke won its first game of the season, 1-0, in overtime against UNC-Greensboro, and tied its second against William & Mary, 1-1.

The team will rely on leading returning goal scorers senior Carolyn Riggs and junior Sarah McCabe, both of whom scored nine goals last season, to carry much of the offensive load.

“Regardless of what formation we play, we should be a dominant team this year because we have the talent to do that,” Ford said.

Meanwhile, the Blue Devils’ defense, which is intact from a year ago, will be bolstered by some strong freshmen, Ford said. Sophomore goalkeeper Alison Lipsher, who set a Duke record for consecutive minutes without allowing a goal during a stretch that spanned 516:34 minutes, is healthy after undergoing offseason knee surgery.

The Blue Devils’ next game is Sept. 2 at Yale.

No. 3 ranking increases pressure by

THE CHRONICLE

Prior to the 2004 men’s soccer season, few expected Duke to be serious contenders in the NCAA. Loaded with young talent, the Blue Devils won their first 11 games of the season and rode the momentum all the way to a final four berth —the fifth in school history.

In 2005, with 10 of 11 starters returning, nearly everyone expects No. 3 Duke to challenge for a national title.

“I guess there’s a little more pressure being ranked so high as opposed to last year when we kind of snuck up on people,” senior forward Danny Kramer said. “We have a target on our back, so teams are going to give 110 percent to try and knock us off.”

Kramer, the team’s leading goal scorer from a year ago, is one of many exceptional playmakers for Duke’s offense,

which finished last season ranked sixth in the nation. Fellow senior Blake Camp made the Hermann Trophy Watch List, given annually to the best player in the nation, for the second consecutive year after earning third-teamAll-America honors last season. He will be a force in the midfield along with speedy sophomore Zach Pope.

Junior Chris Loftus and sophomore Paul Dudley, 6-foot-5 and 6-foot-7, respectively, will provide the foundation of the team’s strong physical presence on crosses into the middle.

At forward, the indefatigable sophomore Spencer Wadsworth, whose 26 points last season were second on the team, looks to continue to be the thorn in the side of opposing defenses, and he will be joined by incoming freshman Mike Grella out of Glen Cove, N.Y. Grella was the NSCAA High School player of the year

last season and a two-time Parade High School All-American. midfielder Sophomore Michael Videira, who led the Blue Devils with 15 assists as a freshman, joins Camp on the Hermann Trophy Watch List and is Duke’s only member of the Soccer America All-America team. Tabbed as rookie of the year by both Soccer America and the ACC in 2004, Videira will need to continue his role as the point-man of the offense for Duke to play up to its preseason billing.

“Everybody on this team is a serious soccer player,” Camp said. “It’s the first time it’s been like this in a long time.”

On the defensive end, the team will feature a slightly different look. With the departure of goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge, one of Duke’s top performers in 2004, the unit will

Michael Videira would be the last person to tell you that he could emerge from the 2005 season as the best collegiate soccer player in the nation.

“I don’t really know,” he confessed when asked if he could win the Hermann Trophy, which is awarded to the best player in the nation at the end ofeach year. “I know that I’ve played with a lot of good players so it’s tough to say.”

However, after being showered with accolades following a final four season in which the sophomore was named 2004 Soccer America and ACC Freshman of the Year, he doesn't have to say a word.

“His actions do all the talking for him, just the way he carries himself,” Videira’s teammate Tim Jepson said. “He’s so intense, his intensity gets us on fire.”

Quiet and unassuming off the field, the sophomore from a small high school in Milford, Mass, simply enjoys hanging out with friends and teammates while away from soccer.

“He’s a goofball, a really mellow guy,” Jepson, his roommate, said. “We laugh at each other.”

However, Vedeira becomes an offensive sparkplug once he dons a Duke soccer uniform. In his first season as a Blue Devil, the midfielder led the ACC’s second ranked offense in assists with 15 and was a key figure in Duke’s run to the final four.

“If we were down or our backs were to the wall, he’d make some outstanding plays,” Danny Miller said. “He’s a game-changer.”

Though only a sophomore,

Videira’s work ethic and intensity has helped him to emerge as a quiet leader on a team that remains heavily laden with underclassmen.

“We all really respect him, especially as a player,” Miller said.

“He makes a lot of other players more competitive. He goes about it quiedy, but he gives everything up on the field. It’s inspirational and we use him to push ourselves, especially when things aren’t going our way.”

Vedeira remains humble about his accomplishments and his role on the team, but understands the important impact that he has on his teammates.

“When I’m on the field I’ll be vocal, but otherwise I just like go along with it,” Videira said. “The captains are mainly the ones that will be vocal and take a leading role.”

Leadership, I guess, is leading by example. I’m just trying to do my best, but other people can feed off of me.”

Despite the successes of last season, Videira knows that he must continue to focus and earn his place among the elite soccer players in the nation yet again.

More of a passer last season, the former midfielder expects to push up the field this year and play more of an attack position.

Videira should have the opportunity to be more of an active scorer and increase his tally of four goals in 2004.

“I mean obviously people have expectations of me coming back for this season,” he said. “I just have to prove myself again.”

Against William & Mary, Duke (1-0-1) dominated the ball for most of the game, but was unable to convert its many scoring chances. The Blue Devils took the game’s only lead at the 37:05 mark of the first half when senior Carolyn Riggs headed home a crossing pass from junior Sarah McCabe.

The Huskies also saw a chance slip away with seven minutes to play, as O’Brian White’s header went wide left by inches.

Duke also failed to score in an 1-0 exhibition loss to UNCGreensboro, Aug. 20, meaning that they will enter regular season play having failed to score a goal in either of their preseason contests. Head coach John Rennie was not concerned about his team’s offense after the loss to the Spartans, saying, “We know the goals will come if we keep playing the way we did tonight.”

The Blue Devils finished the exhibition season with a 0-1-1 record.

For Duke, which likely lost its NCAA Tournament bid when it failed to beat Maryland in the conference semifinals, the change is a welcome one.

“Last year when Maryland won [the conference tournament], I feel like we deserved to be in the NCAA tournament more than they did but they got our bid because they won,” middle blocker Samatha Fisher said. “It puts more importance on every ACC match. You have to get it done in the regular season; there’s no second chance this year.”

The Blue Devils were a young team last year and return most of their contributors from last season, including three of four All-ACC honorees.

Hausfeld, who earned East Region Freshman of the Year honors last season, runs the Blue Devil offense. Her 13.3 assists per game last season was the third-best mark in program history and was 17th in the nation.

Hausfeld’s assists often came on kills by outside hitter Tealle Hunkus and middle blocker Carrie DeMange. Hunkus, a junior, is coming off second-team All-ACC honors and DeMange was named to last year’s ACC All-Freshman team. DeMange’s 411 kills led the team last year and Hunkus finished with 343.

Hunkus, DeMange and Hausfeld were preseason All-ACC selections.

In the back, the team will have to replace the defense of departed libero

Tiffany Perry (10) finished second on the team with an average of 1.0 blockper game. JennyShull (6) is expected to play a more significant role this season.

Stephanie Istvan, who holds Duke records in digs in a season (574) and digs per game (5.9). Sophomore Jenny Shull will be counted on to help replace Istvan.

“We had such a young team last year with a lot of freshmen,” Fisher said. “Now they have that whole year of experience under their belts and that makes a huge

difference.”

The returning players will be joined by another talented recruiting class. Middle blocker Jourdana Norman and outside hitter Aana Wherry were both top-50 recruits, and middle blocker Susanna Carls helped lead her team to the national club volleyball championship.

Even with all the talent in place, the Blue Devils know that it will be hard work to fulfill their preseason expectations in the always-tough ACC. But it’s work they are certainly willing to undertake, “We’re really ready to prove that we deserve to be number one in the ACC,” DeMange said.

“I think it’s a little harder than last year, but it’s still good for us to prepare for the tournament,” Dudek said. “We’re probably not going to be at home in the tournament anyway so it’s good for us to get used to playing away on other teams’ turf.”

The team will continue its season next Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Delaware.

Juniordefenseman Kyte Helton helped limit Duke's opponents to just 22 goals in 24 games.

M. SOCCER from page 7 look to sophomore Justin Papadakis to fill the void in the net “From the moment Papadakis came in to now, he’s made vast improvements not only physically but mentally,” Loftus said.

“He’s someone we have a lot of confidence in as a team, and we’re expecting some big games from him.”

Also adding to Duke’s new defensive look is the team’s new formation, a 4-3-3 alignment, which will give the team a fourth defender. Freshman center back Graham Dugoni will join the three returnees—stalwart junior Danny Miller on the right side, steady sophomore sweeper

Tim Jepson in the back and third-year starter Kyle Helton on the left.

“The formation is different and we’re still getting used to it,” head coach John Rennie said. “This is just more balanced from a positional standpoint, and gives you more numbers and quality all over the field if you can afford to play it.”

The team will need to put behind them last year’s embarrassing 5-0 loss to Santa Barbara in the national semifinals, and focus on the loaded ACC. Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Wake Forest and Boston College join Duke to give the conference six teams in the preseason

Ogilvie, however, noted that the addition of freshmen Geary Gubbins and Kevin McDermott would also strengthen the overall prospects of the team. Kevin McDermott, younger brother of junior Sean McDermott, represented the U.S. in the PanAm Games this summer in the steeplechase, which he ran faster in high school than Duke’s best steeplechaser last year.

The team has another pair of brothers on the team, senior Chas and junior Marco

tributed to the closeness of the team.

“On the whole team, there’s a sense of brotherhood,” older brother Chas said. I think it’s really important. As a team, we expect to sweat for our coach, throw up for our brothers and bleed for Duke.”

With most of Duke’s top runners entering their junior seasons this year, the team expects to grow even closer.

“The cool thing about this team is that we’re going to be together for the next two years, essentially,” said the elder Salmen, who redshirted a year and will ride out his eligibility for another season. “Probably our top seven will be back next year, barring injuries. And I think that makes our team a really tight team.” “
