PSM is an organization that unites various groups advocating for an end of U.S. aid to and university divestment from Israel. The organization arrived on campus in October 2004 for its conference at the invitation of Hiwar, a student group whose website states that it is “devoted to awareness of social and political issues of the Middle East and North Africa.”

Numerous letters of protest

and petitions poured in from across the country after the conference was announced, as many organizations deemed PSM a pro-terrorist and anti-Semitic group the University should not allow on campus.

Students march with Millions by

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

WASHINGTON, D.C. Approximately 40 Duke students joined an estimated one million other concerned citizens at the nation’s capitol to take part in the Millions More Movement Saturday. The goal of the movement was to raise awareness about several national issues involving minorities.

The Movement was organized

by Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan. It was, in part, a commemoration of the Million Man March, which took place on the National Mall 10 years ago.

The Million Man March of 1995 was a call for one million black men to gather in Washington D.C. to hear a number of black activists and artists address issues pertinent to the black community.

Duke alumnus Reverend Benjamin Chavis Muhammad, Divinity ’BO, was the national director of original event.

Unlike the 1995 March, Saturday’s Movement invited women, youths, other racial groups and the gay community to take part in the call for social and economic equality.

There was a constant flow of people walking to and from the SEE MARCH ON PAGE 9

Wake likely to be tenting game Junior up for position by

Ryan McCartney THE CHRONICLE

Duke Student Government leaders confirmed Sunday night that the Feb. 14 men’s basketball game against Wake Forest University will likely be the second tenting game of the season.

The announcement comes after a vote in a public online poll Oct. 13 and unanimous agreement by the line monitors at a meeting last night.

Although the choice must be confirmed when the new tenting policy is voted on by DSG legislators at a meeting Oct. 26, student leaders said the decision will likely be confirmed.

“I would be fairly confident that, based on student opinion, the second tenting game would be Wake Forest,” said DSG President Jesse Longoria, a senior.

Duke Student Government confirmed Sunday that the men's basketball game be the second tenting game for the CameronCrazies.

Ryan McCartney THE CHRONICLE

Junior Nisha Choksi will become this year’s second Duke Student Government treasurer if she is confirmed in a general body meeting Wednesday.

DSG Executive Vice President Brandon Goodwin, a senior, temporarily took control of DSG’s finances when former Treasurer Chris Chin, a senior, resigned Sept. 19. Wednesday night, Goodwin’s workload may finally be lightened if Choksi becomes the new treasurer.

Among other things, Choksi’s job will entail balancing DSG’s budget and overseeing largescale funding projects.

“I’m really excited about Nisha in the position,” said DSG President Jesse Longoria, a sen-

ior. “She has shown she has a lot of experience, she has an excitement for the position and for DSG and will do a great job when she is confirmed.”

Choksi will not officially Nisha Choksi step into her new role as treasurer until the meeting Wednesday.

Iraq constitution faces little opposition by

Lee Keath

Shiites and Kurds voted to stymie the Sunni bid to reject the constitution.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani issued a decree setting Dec. 15 for Iraqis to vote again, this time to elect a new parliament. If the constitution indeed passed, the first fullterm parliament since Saddam Hussein’s fall in 2003 will install a new government by Dec. 31. If the charter has failed, the parliament will be temporary, tasked with drawing up a new draft on which to vote.

But the outcome could further divide the nation, with many Sunnis fearing the new decentralized government will deprive them of their fair share in the country’s vast oil wealth. Large numbers of Sunnis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq’s landmark constitution seemed assured of passage Sunday after initial results showed minority Sunni Arabs had fallen short in an effort to veto it at the polls. The apparent acceptance was a major step in the attempt to establish a democratic government that could lead to the withdrawal ofU.S. troops.

Opponents failed to secure the necessary two-thirds “no” vote in any three of Iraqi’s 18 provinces, according to counts that local officials provided to The Associated Press.

In the crucial central provinces with mixed ethnic and religious populations, enough

voted “no,” and some of their leaders were already rejecting the apparent result.

While a strong Sunni turnout in Saturday’s referendum suggested a desire among many to participate in Iraq’s new political system, there were fears that anger at being ruled under a constitution they oppose could push some into supporting the Sunni-led insurgency. “If the constitution was passed, the attacks will definitely rise against the occupation forces, and the security situation is going to be worse,” said Sheik Abdul-Salam al-Kubaisi, a prominent cleric with the influential Sunni Association of Muslim Scholars, which government officials accuse oflinks to the insurgency.

Estimated deaths from quake rise

A Pakistani general heading relief efforts warned that the cold and wet could cause further deaths among the 2 million or so people believed to be homeless.

About a fifth of the villages in the quake zone remained cut off eight days after the tremor turned villages scattered across lush mountainsides into death traps, and the bad weather over Kashmir halted aid

BALAKOT, Pakistan Pakistani officials predicted Sunday that many more thousands of dead would be found in earthquake-ravaged Kashmir as heavy rains in the Himalayan region drenched homeless survivors in mud and misery.

The latest estimate of at least 40,000 deaths in Pakistan’s portion of Kashmir alone would mean more than 54,000 people were killed when the magnitude-7.6 quake hit the mountains of northern Pakistan and India. That represents a jump of 13,000 from the official count of known dead.

Central government officials in Islamabad said early in the day that confirmed casualties totaled 39,422 dead and 65,038 injured for all of Pakistan, including more than 13,000 killed in North West Frontier

Province. Some 1,350 deaths were reported in India’s part ofKashmir, for a total of just under 41,000.

But a spokesperson for the state government chief in the Pakistani portion of Kashmir, which suffered the worst quake damage, said later that officials believed the death toll would rise rapidly as teams search more debris.

“The death toll is not less than 40,000” in just Pakistani Kashmir, spokesperson Abdul Khaliq Wasi said.

He stressed that number was only “a closest estimate” and did not reflect the number ofbodies recovered.

Science festival hits campus

by Mary Via THE CHRONICLE

TOM MENDEI/THE CHRONICLE

Aaron Dinin, Trinity 'O5 and former line monitor, wrote a book about Krzyzewskivilie and the Cameron Crazies that reside there during thewinter months each year.

The East Campus quadrangle was teeming with students early Saturday morning, but not because freshmen had decided to wake up early.

The Pratt School of Engineering hosted the Sally Ride Science Festival for more than 480 girls in grades five through eight Saturday afternoon.

The event was sponsored by Sally Ride Science, a company founded in 2001 by astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. The company’s mission is to empower girls to enter the world of science.

As part of that mission, festivals are hosted at college campuses around the country for middle school-aged girls throughout the year.

Deborah Hill, director of communications for Pratt, said Sally Ride Science contacted Duke earlier in the year and asked if the school would be interested in hosting the festival.

“We believe that there needs to be more women and minorities in the sciences,” Hill said, explaining why Pratt accepted the offer. “This is away to give girls a sense of the kinds of careers that exist in science and

She said Pratt was also pleased

to host the event because federal

research funding agencies often require research teams to in-

clude an educational outreach component in their proposals.

Hill also noted that educational outreach has been a hallmark of Pratt under the leadership of Dean Kristina Johnson.

The day’s events included a street fair, workshops for attendants and a keynote address by astronaut Kathryn Thornton.

Thornton said she believes it is important to involve girls in science early on.

When tenters attempted to argue with line monitor Aaron Dinin about the tenting policy last year, he wouldn’t have been kidding if he told them he wrote the book on Krzyzewskiville.

A Trinity ‘O5 graduate, Aaron The Dinin completed Krzyzewskiville Tales before he graduated with a degree in English. The book, released last Thursday and modeled on Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, details the history and captures the spirit ofK-ville through a fic-

tional story-telling contest held in a tent on the eve of the big game.

“It started out as a project for a class on dictionaries,” Dinin said.

“I had to come up with a glossary.”

Dinin decided he would use “Crazie Talk,” the jargon used by the Cameron Crazies, for his project. He cited the now defunct K-ville listserv—which allowed all the inhabitants of Kville to communicate—as source material.

PSM seeks conference site Will Horning THE CHRONICLE

by

A location has not yet been chosen for this year’s conference of the Palestinian Solidarity Movement, but officials maintain that a conference will be held in spring 2006. Last year Duke hosted the event in October.

The PSM —an umbrella organization of several pro-Palestinian groups across the country—promotes university divestment from Israel, the right of return for Palestinian refugees and an end to U.S. aid to Israel.

Nadeem Muaddi, a spokesperson for PSM, said it has received many applications from pro-Palestinian student groups at various universities.

“We’re looking for a region where we haven’t had a conference before and for a name that will attract a crowd,” he said.

In addition to Duke, the PSM has previously held conferences near Rutgers University and at the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Michigan and Ohio State University.

In order to set up these conferences, national PSM officials coordinate with local student groups.

“Usually we’ll approach a student group, and they’ll approach the school administration,” Muaddi said.

Last year, the Duke organization Hiwar invited PSM to Duke and requested venue space for its speakers.

But the controversy and protest seen at previous conferences makes coordinating the events a difficult and timeconsuming process, PSM officials said.

Rann Bar-on, a graduate student in mathematics who helped coordinate the Duke conference last year, said it takes effort to ensure that the conference does not encounter serious problems.

“There were a few months of intense work, meeting and having conference calls with national organizers on a weekly basis,” he said.

But student groups have not always able been able to organize the events in

time to hold them on a campus.

In 2003, Rutgers was announced as the host for that year’s conference, but student organizers were unable to meet the requirements set by the university.

The university withdrew its support, and PSM events were instead held at off-campus locations.

Since the conferences are hosted by local student groups, the PSM does not necessarily need the approval of administrators in order to hold a conference on campus.

“Of course whenever we have cooperation from the administration, it’s best, but they can’t really stand in our way,” Muaddi said.

Much of the opposition to the PSM conferences in the past stemmed from claims that PSM is endorses terrorism as a means of liberating Palestinians.

A list of Guiding Principles posted on the PSM website from the conference at Duke states that the organization neither endorses nor condemns violence.

The weekend of the conference which included educational sessions and other events hosted by the Freeman Center for Jewish Life in response to the PSM-

sponsored events —passed peacefully.

In response to the conference, many concerned alumni and members of the Jewish community declared they would cease to support Duke financially because of the conference.

Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donor relations for the development office, said he has not seen any decline in giving to the University as a result of the conference. He emphasized, however, that his office does not track giving by religion.

“Our cash totals last year were the third highest in Duke history.... There was no demonstrable financial effect,” he said, noting there are donors who expressed “disaffection with the conference” but still give to the University.

Orit Ramler, executive director of the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation, said she is aware of donors who had stopped giving in response to the conference. “There are lots of people who are still very unhappy with Duke,” she said. “At the same time, I think the way that Duke worked with the Jewish community was great.”

There were also individualswho said they would not send their children to Duke because ofthe conference. Davis Academy and Greenfield Academy, two Jewish day schools in Atlanta, announced in September 2004 they were cutting their ties to the Duke Talent Identification Program, which allows middle- and high-school students to attend summer camp at the University.

But there seems to have been no influence on this year’s applications, said Christoph Guttentag, director of admissions. “We didn’t hear anything this year, literally nothing this year about PSM,” he said.

Senior Gayle Argon, executive vice president of the student board of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, noted that participation in Jewish organizations around campus was unaffected by the conference.

freshman class looks very robust,” she said.

In the months following the event, the University used the conference as a starting point to generate campus discussion about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by sponsoring numerous speakers and forums.

Administrators, along with students involved on both sides of the debate, agreed that a raised level of awareness about political tensions in the Middle East is one of the lasting benefits of the conference. “There’s more of an excitement about dialogue between the two groups,” Argon said.

Rann Bar-on, a graduate student in mathematics and a local spokesperson for PSM, said there has been an increase in the number of community members interested in Israeli-Palestinian issues. Seven students traveled to Palestine over the summer to engage in annual activist work—an increase in the number of participants from previous years that Bar-on said was a direct result of the conference.

“One of my aims from the conference was to convince people that they really must go over and see what’s going on in Palestine themselves before passing judgment on any of the multitude of issues,” he said.

But many students and officials noted that much of the campus’ interest about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is still largely generated by those who were drawn to the issues before the conference.

“I’m not sure we reached enough of the people who wouldn’t otherwise have been engaged,” Provost Peter Lange said. “However I attended some very good conversations that would never have happened without the conference happening.”

Others noted that though the conference stirred up debate, the issues have faded from the spotlight since last year. “We went away for the summer, and the momentum was lost,” Argon said.

Even a year removed from PSM, however, administrators said they believe their commitment to academic freedom has improved their reputation among alumni and academic peers and raised the bar for intellectual discussions on campus.

“It certainly was a major event oflast fall, and I regretted the bad feelings that attended it,” Brodhead said. “But I thought that members of this community showed great maturity in understanding the principles involved and in using it as a chance for education.”

TREASURER from page 1 “Right now she’s getting oriented with everyone on DSG so, when and if she is approved, she’s not just jumping into an organization,” Goodwin said. “We’ve explained the rules. Nothing’s been tangibly handed to her yet.”

Choksi originally applied for one of the 10 Student Organization Finance Committee positions.

She was initially offered a position on SOFC and was then extended an offer to serve as the new DSG treasurer, Goodwin explained.

She will join a five-member group of

trustees that also includes the DSG presi-

dent, executive vice president, SOFC shair and chief of staff. She will work most closely with Goodwin.

The trustees decide major finance initiatives. For example, they were involved in the placement of plasma-screen televisions

in Wilson Recreation Center last spring.

Although Choksi has not worked with DSG before, the economics major has had extensive experience as treasurer for her sorority and the organization Safe Walks.

These campus and organizational experiences set her apart from the other students in consideration for the position, Goodwin said.

“She’s demonstrated she understands the role of a treasurer and how to balance the books,” Goodwin said, nodng he is confident Choksi will quickly step into her new role.

Choksi abilities extend beyond numbercrunching, Goodwin added. The potential treasurer has social graces that are needed for the job.

“She presents herself extremely well.

The treasurer of all positions really requires personality skill, but sort of a professionalism that the treasurer can relate to everyone,” Goodwin said.

u Academic Integrity Survey This week, Duke University's undergraduates and faculty will be participating in a national survey designed to assess the climate of academic integrity on college campuses.

In the past, this survey has inspired successful changes to our academic integrity policies. We once again have an opportunity to gain invaluable information on ways to improve our policies and classroom practices in order to foster mutual respect among scholars and learners at Duke.

We strongly encourage all Duke students and faculty to participate in this year's survey.

In an effort to encourage participation, those who complete the survey will be automatically entered into a drawing for assorted prizes. Students will have a chance to win an iPod Nano, a Hewlett-Packard printer, or one of 10 gift certificates to the Duke University stores. The faculty incentive is a pair of tickets to the Duke-UNC menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball game.

We thank you for your support.

Even after its most competitive meet so far this season, the top-ranked women’s cross country team still has an undefeated record.

Duke swept the top three spots and also claimed sixth and tenth to win the Penn State National Cross Country Meet at State College, Pa. Saturday.

The Blue Devils scored 22 points to beat 33 other teams, besting secondplace Providence, the nation’s ,20thranked team, by 81 points.

The Friars finished third at the 2004 NCAA Championships —20 points behind second-place Duke.

At the same meet, the men’s cross country team finished seventh out of 38 teams with 217 points.

Senior Shannon Rowbury earned her second straight individual title this season and led the team with a 20:34 time in the 6K race. Senior Clara Horowitz finished one second behind Rowbury to take second place, and senior Sally Meyerhoff finished in 20:42 to take third.

Senior Laura Stanley crossed the finish line in sixth with a 20:52 time and

on to win, 1-0, Sunday in Koskinen Stadium. The Terrap-

ins did not register a shot in the first half and finished the game with just three shots on goal.

“We play really good team defense,” McDonald said, “When we work together and cover for each other it helps a lot.”

The contest between Duke (11-2-1, 420 in the ACC) and Maryland (4-9-2, 2-41) was not a high-scoring one, dominated by defensive play rather than flashy goals. In addition to praising Duke’s strong defensive effort, head coach Robbie Church cited the importance of goalkeeping.

“We are very aware that for another team to score a goal it is going to have to be a good shot,” Church said. “Allison [Lipsher] is going to make some good saves.”

The win over the Monarchs (11-5) concluded a big weekend for Bozman, who reached 50 wins in fewer games than any coach in program history. The Blue Devils (12-3) shut out William & Mary, 4-0, Saturday to give Bozman her 49th career win.

After Dudek’s early goal, Old Dominion tied the game 12:48 into the first half on a penalty corner. But just 13 minutes later, Dudek intercepted a pass and scored her second goal of the day to reclaim the momentum.

“We were just better prepared for this game both tactically and mentally,” Bozman said. “Instead of allowing them to get into their game we went at them.”

Unforced errors doom Duke in loss to Maryland Alex Hardy THE CHRONICLE

After being snubbed last season and shut out of the NCAA Tournament, the volleyball team began the year looking to

prove that it deserved its preseason No. 1 ACC ranking.

Maryland, however, has proven otherwise this season.

The Terrapins (17-1,8-1 in the ACC) swept Duke, 3-0, Sunday to remain in a tie for first place in the conference as the Blue Devils (11-5, 5-4) slipped to fifth.

Duke won its other match of the weekend, defeating Boston College, 3-1, Friday in DUKE 0 Boston. The Blue Devils comMARYLAND -3 pleted their recent road swing with a 1-3 record.

Although the Blue Devils fell in DUKE three games against Maryland, they lost each of the first two BC 1 games by just two points.

second game and the two ACC foes were tied at 29. But head coach Jolene Nagel said, just as in the first game, Blue Devil unforced errors cost Duke the chance to win.

“We weren’t able to get on runs, we would get a kill, then we would have an unforced error,” Nagel said.

The Blue Devils were held to a .171 hitting percentage.

Nagel said the first two closely-contested games took an emotional toll on her team, and the Blue Devils’ service game broke down at the start of the third game. Maryland took an a early 6-1 lead, from which Duke never recovered, losing 30-18.

Carrie DeMange recorded her 13th double-double of the season, netting 17 kills and 11 digs, while Ali Hausfeld’s 37 assists led the team.

“DeMange was on fire and Ali did a good job setting,” Nagel said.

In Friday night’s game, Hausfeld earned her second career triple-double, tallying 12 digs, 70 assists, and a careerhigh 11 kills, and helped Duke get back on track after it had lost its previous two ACC road matches.

The Blue Devils edged the Eagles (6-11,1-7), as the two teams batded in four games that were decided by a total of eight points.

Blue Devils wrecked in 3rd quarter by

Trailing 14-10 with nine minutes left in the third quarter, Duke finally got the big break it had so desperately needed all season.

VIRGINIA 26 FSU 21 -

Marques Hagans threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns and Connor Hughes kicked four field goals to help Virginia hold on for the second win over a top-five team in program history.

Florida State got one last chance from its own 26 with 56 seconds left. Drew Weatherford's pass was picked off by Tony Franklin, sealing off the upset and bringing thousands of fans pouring onto the field to celebrate the 26-21 victory (AP).

On the next play, Matt Ryan threw to the left side of the end zone, and Challenger kicked his feet across the slippery turf while falling out of bounds to catch the ball Wake Forest had 1:12 left, but Nick Larkin sacked Cory Randolph on the final play (AP).

Georgia Tech had the ball, facing fourth and goal from the one-yard line. Defensive end Phillip Alexander stopped Yellow Jacket quarterback Reggie Ball just inches from the goal line, sparking an eruption of cheers in Wallace Wade stadium. The Duke defense sprinted triumphantly to the sideline as the Blue Devils enjoyed a surge of momentum that fed their upset hopes.

Unfortunately, reality set in all too quickly for Duke (1-6, 0-4 in the ACC).

Quarterback Zack Asack fumbled the exchange from center Matt Rumsey on the ensuing play, giving the Yellow Jackets the ball back at the GA. TECH .pp one-yard line.

DUKE 10 This time, Georgia Tech running back Tashard Choice scored easily, giving the Yellow Jackets (4-2, 2-2) an 11-point lead they would not relinquish, beating the Blue Devils, 35-10, Saturday in Wallace Wade Stadium.

“I don’t remember the last time we had a goal line stand here,” head coach Ted Roof said. “If you had to name one play, that might have been the biggest play in the ball game.”

Georgia Tech scored four touchdowns in an eight-minute stretch of the third quarter to convert a 10-7 halftime deficit into a commanding 35-10 lead. Three penalties on Duke’s first second-half possession gave the Yellow Jackets starting field position inside Blue Devil territory.

GeorgiaTech marched just 43 yards down the field for a 14-10 lead, capped by a oneyard run by Ball.

Asack threw an interception on Duke’s next drive giving Georgia Tech the ball at the Blue Devil 40-yard line to start its next possession. Ball drove the offense down to the one-yard line, setting up Duke’s goalline stand. But Asack’s fumble on the next play set up Choice’s touchdown, extending Georgia Tech’s lead to 21-10.

“Just bad decisions by myself,” Asack said. “Everyone else was doing great. It’s just something I’ve got to work on.”

Everything went downhill from there for the Blue Devils. Three plays after Choice’s run, Georgia Tech defensive end Darrell Robertson stepped in front of an Asack pass and returned it 28 yards to the end zone to give the Yellow Jackets a 28-10 lead. After another three-and-out by the Duke offense, Georgia Tech drove 59 yards in just four plays to add its final touchdown on a 1-yard run by Choice, his second score of the game.

“Where we are right now, we don’t have the margin for error to continually overcome,” Roof said. “We can overcome some things but we cannot overcome the continuous short field in all phases..,. We cannot make those mistakes and beat a good team.”

Ironically, Georgia Tech miscues were responsible for Duke’s halftime lead. The Blue Devils entered the second quarter down just 7-0 despite the Yellow Jackets’ 146-9 yard advantage in the first-quarter.

A John Talley interception his fourth of the season—ended one Georgia Tech scoring threat at the Duke 16-yard line.

In the second quarter, the opportunistic Blue Devils used more Yellow Jacket gaffs to revive their offense.

Defensive tackle Casey Camero scooped up a Reggie Ball fumble to stymie a Georgia Tech drive and give the Blue Devils possession at their own 45-yard line.

GeorgiaTech's rushing offense (top) gained 257yards. Duke's Justin Boyie (above) ran for 88 yards.

Four plays later, Asack found Roland off a play-action fake for an easy touchdown to tie the game at seven.

Safety Brian Greene broke up a fake punt attempt on Georgia Tech’s next drive, The Yellow Jackets appeared to force Duke’s offense to go three-and-out, but a roughing the kicker penalty gave the Blue Devils'a

Losing attitude plagues non competitive Duke by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

Coming into the 2005 Duke football season, there was reason to be optimistic. Not optimistic in the sense that this was the year tho Blue Devils would qualify for a bowl game, but more along the lines that game Duke was analysis going to play ..

.

competitive

ACC games and meaningful fourth quarters.

After Saturday’s 35-10 loss to Georgia Tech, the Blue Devils have yet to even challenge a conference foe in the second half.

Duke may have led 10-7 at halftime, but without five fortunate mistakes by the Yellow Jackets three turnovers and two roughing-the-kicker penalties —the score could have easily been 21-0 Georgia Tech. The ticking time bomb exploded when the Yellow Jackets outscored the home team 28-0 in the third quarter.

The problem for students and fans —not many of either bothered showing up to Wallace Wade Saturday—is that the team has taken steps backward since head coach Ted Roof took over in the middle of 2003. Roof went 2-3 against the ACC in his interim role that season, but this year conference opponents have outscored Duke 170-24.

“If we come to play, I think there’s only one or two teams we can’t beat just because they’re that much better than us,” linebacker Brendan Dewan said after the loss. “Across the board I think we can beat just about anybody.”

Roof has been lauded for his —

Yellow Jacket quarterback Reggie Ball completed 16 passes for 144 yards. He accounted for two third-quarter touchdowns.

ability to recruit highly-ranked prospects, a sign that points to a different source of trouble.

The inability to keep games close is usually a talent issue, but when it isn’t, then the problem must lie in the coaching, chemistry and morale, all of which overlap.

It’s difficult to figure exactly how the coaches have shaped the team’s approach, but this squad appears not to have a winning attitude.

Instead of generating excitement over having a halftime lead in a conference game, the team just went through the usual halftime motions.

“We weren’t trying to get overly excited in the locker room, there’s no point for that,” Dewan said. “It was relatively calm.”

Duke’s inability to make halftime adjustments is the fault of the coaching staff. Despite being ahead 10-7 at the end of the first half, it was clear that Georgia Tech was controlling the offensive and defensive lines, wide receivers were exploiting holes in the Duke secondary and freshman quarterback Zack Asack was having trouble finding a rhythm in the passing offense.

But Duke did not make changes at intermission to counter these first-half trends, and they came back to haunt the Blue Devils after the break.

“We don’t usually have a whole lot of adjustments,” Dewan said.

So the team puts up little fight against ACC foes, doesn’t get excited when there’s a chance to win and doesn’t like to make too many halftime adjustments? It seems it’s only a matter of time before the Roof caves in.

The men’s and women’s Blue Devil like the women, the men fell to the Wolfpack (2-0,1-0), 161-77.

“As for the women, we knew it was going to be a war with N.C.

The Duke foursome offreshman Katie Bieze and seniors Nora Stupp, Alison Sandberg and Julia Lewis swam well in the dramatic women's freestyle relay, Colella said. Senior Katie Ness racked up wins in both the 200 IM and backstroke, while Lewis also secured a win in the 50M freestyle. Jackie Storm gave the Blue Devils a vital win in the 200M breaststroke.

“We, the men, knew that William & Mary was coming in definitely looking to knock us off, and I think our guys really stepped up and did a great job against them,” Colella said, “N.C. State, right now, is a great program and my hat is off to Coach Teal and the job he’s doing with the men.”

Despite the men’s team’s loss to the Wolfpack, Colella was optimistic about the Blue Devils’ performance.

“We were really excited and pleased with a number of our swims from the men,” Colella said. “In terms of their performances, we saw a lot of smart swimming today. These are definitely things we can build on. I mean, it’s the first meet of the season.”

Freshman diver Nick Campisano made a big splash in his first meet as a Blue Devil, posting a score of 303.37 on the onemeter board to qualify for the NCAA Zone Championship. Campisano can now compete at the Zone Championships, March 10-12, for a chance to earn a bid to the

NCAA championship.

“I thought our divers did an unbelieveable job today,” diving coach Andy Scott said. “They really stepped up and gave us a chance. They put us in a position to have a shot at winning at the end.”

The Duke men and women’s diving squads earned five top-three finishes be-

tween the 1M and 3M boards. Freshman Lauren Gonzalez, battling back from a recent neck injury, led the Duke women, placing second at both heights.

“Overall, there was a lot of excitement, and I was really proud of how they performed,” Colella said of the entire team’s performance. “I think it’s a great start to the season.”

M. SOCCER from page 1 “If our guys had been one or two steps back maybe, it probably would’ve been certain goals,” Camp said of those two opportunities.

In the nineteenth minute of the first half, sophomore midfielder Michael Videira had a shot hit the post. Camp said the look was one of Duke’s best of

matches have been tough.

“The score might not show it, but Jackie plays extremely long matches,” Ashworth said. “With her confidence, she has been tough to beat. You have to beat her, she never beats herself. She’s controlling points from the baseline and believing in herself more in her second year at Duke.”

The Blue Devils’ number one doubles team gave themselves a chance at the tide.

The combination of junior Daniela Bercek and freshman Jessi Robinson, beat teammates Jennifer Zikaand Melissa Mang, 9-8.

A third Blue Devil pairing of junior Knstin Cargill and Carleton nearly made it an all Duke final. They were denied the opportunity, however, after being beaten in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (3), by the Kentucky duo of Coventry and Joelle Schwenk.

Ashworth has been very pleased with his doubles teams throughout the first month of the season—four pairs reached the quarters, two the semifinals, and one the finals at the ITA Regionals.

“We haven’t had any doubles teams play this well in four years,” Ashworth said. “With every match, we’ve improved. I have been really pleased with our doubles play all weekend.”

Duke freshman Tara Iyer had an impressive showing, reaching the round of 16 in singles and the doubles quarterfinals with sophomore partner Clelia Deltour.

“Tara was disappointed with her loss, but she’s learning,” Ashworth said. “She has never played on a team with everybody supporting and believing in each other.” the game.

Camp also had an excellent chance at a goal when his header off a comer kick was stopped by UVa goalkeeper Ryan Burke with 33:38 left in the game.

“It was a very evenly played game, both teams had scoring chances, and you obviously can’t win if you don’t score.” Rennie said. “I would’ve felt a tie would’ve been a fair result, but when you’re down a man, sometimes that’s hard.”

Devils up 3-1. Monarch Nicolien van Nispen countered two minutes later to bring Old Dominion within a goal, but the Duke defense shut down the Monarchs over the final 25 minutes to seal the victory.

Duke used the same quick-score strategy in defeating William & Mary (8-7).

Freshman Julie Tromp drew the goaltender out from the net and found the cage just 58 seconds into the contest. After the early goal, the defense locked down, allowing the Tribe no first-half shots.

“We have really been focusing on our defense in general,” Bostrom said. “It was a total team effort with everyone playing their role talking to each other.”

Goalie Caidin Williams recorded her third shutout of the season, registering three saves on six shots.

The Blue Devils dominated the first half of the game, outshooting William & Mary, 12-0. Forward Katie Grant found the left corner of the cage nine minutes into the game on a pass from Dudek, and Rachel Link scored her first career goal at the 25:20 mark to put the Blue Devils up, 3-0, at halftime. The Tribe had opportunities to score in the second half but could not push a shot past Williams.

“I thought we came out really strong,”

Clara Horowitz finished second at the PennState Invitational, one second behind teammate Shannon Rowbury.

freshman Whitney Anderson followed in tenth at 21:06 to score the Blue Devils’ final points. Only 32 seconds elapsed between Duke’s first and fifth finishes.

“I’m happy with just about everything today,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said.

“We were tighter right down the line.”

The team ran the same course at last year’s Penn State Invitational and the runners’ combined times were 97 seconds quicker this season.

“This is a strong indication that we really are a stronger team,” Jermyn said.

“All our girls ran faster or very close to last year’s times.”

With its 32-second gap between its first and fifth finishes this year, Duke eliminated 21 seconds from its one-to-five spread on the same course a year ago. At this meet last season, the Blue Devils had a 53-second gap between their first and fifth finishing runners.

With the ACC Championships around the corner, Jermyn is in the process of selecting which team members will run at the meet.

“We have a pretty good idea,” Jermyn said. “This meet is more important than

Between the two teams there were 25 fouls, and Resnick received a yellow card.

“Every game we have with Maryland is physical,” Church said, “They always play hard. It disrupted the play at times.”

Church said he has been more than satisfied with the way the Blue Devils have played as of late after starting the season with a disappointing 1-2 record “I’m thrilled. It’s a tough league,” Church said, “In a sense we all kind of walked off a little bit and thought, ‘Man, we could have scored a couple more goals, and we would have felt better.’ But to get five wins in the league after seven matches—we still have three left—is big time.

“I’m extremely happy with everything. I’m happy defensively, offensively, we’re scoring goals, and goalkeepers are playing well. I like where we are right now.”

Bozman said. “We could have done better in the second half, but William & Mary also really picked it up in the second half.”

Marcy Burns scored the final goal of the game 18 minutes after halftime.

Seven different Blue Devils recorded points in the contest.

The men’s team also showed improvement in their one-to-five spread from this season’s earlier meets, head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

“We can be really proud of our fiveman spread,” Ogilvie said. “This is the tightest we’ve been all fall.”

Sophomore Chris Spooner was Duke’s top finisher for the first time this season with a 19th-place finish of 25:53 in the 5.2 mile race. Spooner, a Lewisburg, Pa. native, ran the race in front of his parents and high school coach.

Ogilvie said the Blue Devils were aiming to beat Providence, a team that is usually nationally ranked. The Friars, whose top two runners took the first two places in the meet, placed fifth and beat Duke by only 16 points.

“We’re where we want to be,” Ogilvie said. “We wanted to knock off Providence, but we’ll build from here. We’ve got two weeks to go and we’re demonstrating a real consistency.”

The men’s team will run at the ACC Championships, Oct. 31 in Tallahasse, Fla., but the Blue Devils will not compete against Providence again until the NCAA Southeast Regional meet in Greenville, N.C., Nov. 12.

MARCH from page 1 National Mall on Constitution Avenue between 12th and

Ist Streets.

Many people chose to forgo the crowded area in front of Capitol Hill in favor of benches and other shaded spots along the way.

Vendors lining the streets sold products such as food, jewelry, incense and t-shirts depicting images of black pride. Many people favored fellowship over listening to the speakers, often beginning conversations by sharing where they were from and why they came to the event.

Most of the speakers were allotted between two and five minutes to address those in attendance.

Additional time was allowed for some of the more wellknown activists, including Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend A1 Sharpton, scholar Cornell West and Farrakhan.

The speakers highlighted the national importance of education, strong youth and healthy marriages. They also voiced concerns about the state of health care, among other political and social issues. .

Many activists, including Farrakhan, were upset by what they perceive as the government’s delayed response to Hurricane Katrina.

Farrakhan urged the survivors ofHurricane Katrina to hold the government accountable.

“I believe that we can charge the government with criminal neglect,” he said. “I firmly believe that if the people on those rooftops [in New Orleans] had blond hair and blue eyes and pale skin, something would have been done in a more timely manner.”

Senior Alejandro Torres Hernandez, who helped organize travel arrangements to the event for Duke students, said he hoped the trip would help spark discussions among the students who attended.

He added that he feels like too few people are taking roles in campus activism and said he hoped the event would help promote action.

“People get too complacent at Duke University,” Torres Hernandez said. “When you come from a group that has had to struggle to get to where they are, it is incumbent and demanded upon them that they remain active because our position at any place that was granted to us can always be taken away.”

Senior Willie Moses said he believed the event, was “preparing people for the next step” in activism.

“In lieu of recent events and national disasters that have exposed disparities drawn upon ethnic and minority lines, movements like these have become that much more necessary,” Moses said.

Senior Nyahuma Fort said he found it especially important for college students to join the discussion on national issues. “[Black Duke students] tend to be separated from black issues because we are a very small population and we don’t reach outside the Duke community to the larger black community,” he said.

Approximately 90 Duke students expressed interest in going on the trip, but many were not able to go due to the fact that Duke sponsors were only able to garner one bus to travel to Washington. The Duke delegation left West Campus at midnight Saturday morning and arrived back early Sunday morning.

“It’s encouraging because it’s nice to see people get up and do something positive, but discouraging because so many more signed up,” Fort said, noting that a few students who were allotted a spot on the bus failed to show up at the time of departure.

Junior Iman Washington said that despite long hours spent listening to speakers, she was glad she went.

“It’s historical,” she said.

Others in attendance from around the country said they came out largely to celebrate the anniversary of the 1995 Million Man March.

“We need to recycle the progress that we were supposed to make in the last ten years,” said New York resident Bar Kim, who also attended the Million Man March.

“This is refreshing.”

Also noticeable to many—amid shouts of black power” and “freedom or death” and right fists pounding the air—was the presence of the New Black Panther Party, a vanguard for many black people headquartered in Washington D.C. NBPP Local Field Marshal Sharif Amenhotep, of Newark, N.J., explained that government inaction during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as reason for the

SALLY RIDE from page 4 “Many [girls] have the aptitude, the ability and the interest in doing it but they get a lot of pressure to go the other way,” she said. “So this is an attempt to keep them on track.”

The street fair, which was designed to provide girls an idea of the array of science career options, included among other things exhibits featuring Techtronics and Jello Optics and booths promoting the Raleigh Astronomy Club and the American Red Cross.

The University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill sponsored a traveling science bus, filled with hands on experiments. Pratt showed off its new science helicopter in the middle of the quad.

Many Duke undergraduate and graduate studentsvolunteered at The Festival.

Attendees were enthusiastic about the day’s events.

“I really like how they set this up and how there are all these activities to help you learn about [science],” fifthgrader Abby Vining said.

Vining’s mother, Julie, added that it is important to keep girls interested in science while they are still young.

“When I was in school at this age I don’t think there were these kinds ofactivities that really grabbed girls and empowered them to think of themselves as going on to be astronauts and scientists,” she said.

Many at the festival shared the sentiment that girls need to be encouraged to pursue scholarship in scienceoriented subjects in secondary school and beyond.

“Festivals such as this which encourage girls to get involved in science are important so girls can see how many doors science can open up,” said Carolyn Hack, a representative at the Lulu.com booth. Lulu.com is a website that allows users to publish books free of charge.

Annie Broadwater, a colleague of Hack, added that the Festival would help girls realize how broad their horizons are.

“Now that we know that girls are just as adept as boy’s at this sort of thing, it is important that we push them in that direction early on so that they know they have opportunities in all areas,” she said.

become accustomed to Duke students’ weekend rituals, he is by no means well-versed in the game.

Jones, however, is used to the routine by now.

“On the average, it’s pretty cool. Once in a while you’re always gonna get a clown, somebody that want to act up or do somethin’ silly,” Jones said.

He was particularly put off by one student who had a certain fondness for the stop cord.

“They don’t bother me too much,” C-2 bus driver Samuel Mcßroom said of the particularly obnoxious drunk students. “The only thing that bother me is when they up-chuck, you know. Other than that, they don’t bother me.”

Many of the late-nighters now carry sawdust with them to clean up after intoxicated students. Although they don’t enjoy the process, they realize it comes with the territory.

“It’s like a responsibility, keeping you guys in line,” Mayo said.

Maybe it is this added responsibility that makes the late-night crew listen a little more closely to what is going on in back of the bus as they wind through the dimly lit streets of Central Campus.

“I listen to what [students] are talking about, and some of them, you know, want to talk to me,” Mcßroom said.

“They’ll ask about your opinion about certain things.”

Relationship issues seem to be the topic of choice for most students who confide in the otherwise monosyllabic figures in the front of the bus.

“Sometimes we sit there and give them a little fatherly advice,” Jones said. “Not a whole lot of personal stuff, but stuff in general, you know.”

The bus drivers’ concern is appreciated by many students who need a ride home Friday and Saturday nights.

“They’re really great guys. I’ve spoken to a couple of them,” said juniorBineyam Tafesse as he waited for the C-2 early Saturday morning. “I don’t think we appreciate them enough. We all take for granted that you can get wasted and someone will actually help you get back on the bus and, you know, take you back to your dorm.”

Freshman Verlaine Brunot noticed that bus drivers are particularly good with students new to the college party scene.

“I think it’s nice that they’re so considerate,” Brunot said. “They see when freshmen are there, and they try to help as much as they can.”

The late-night bus drivers said they are thanked on occasion, but they often find the gratitude of their passengers revealed in different ways.

“I know one year, a girl brought us dinner to show their appreciation for us drivers. It was good, too,” Mcßroom said.

A few weeks ago, some of Mcßroom’s passengers made the all-too-familiar pilgrimage to Rick’s Diner.

When Mcßroom circled around to West Campus again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the students had brought him dinner—a hamburger and chips in Rick’s characteristic black to-go box.

For others, like Mayo, gratitude is found in simple conversations.

It means a lot to him when students take the time to ask how his night is going.

“It let’s me know they respect you,” Mayo said.

Money from the job is important for all three drivers, but they agree that, at a point, it’s about more than just the cash.

“Basically, I enjoy the kids,” Jones said frankly, shifting in his seat as he waits at the West Campus stop.

“I enjoy listening to them—they’re fresh ideas and fresh thoughts—and I guess, in a sense, they keep me young too, you know. It’s a good thing,” he added, watching a several more students boarded the bus.

The routine continues Friday, each time with new faces and a new set of stories.

When he gets off from work in another hour, Mayo will go “straight to bed.”

Mcßroom, who drives for the Orange County school district every day of the week, is looking forward to sleeping in Saturday morning.

Jones will take the leisurely ride back to his house, where he will wait for sunrise before finally calling it a night.

After 30 years there’s nothing new.

Jones shoots a quick glance at the digital clock. Two more hours to go.

“I like doing it. I’ve been doing it for seven years now, and ifI didn’t enjoy it I wouldn’t still be out here,” he says in a matter-of-fact tone.

He waits as one more student runs to make the bus, closes the door and pulls away from West Campus.

He waits for 4 a.m. to roll around.

THE CHRONICLE

17, 2005

DININ from page 4 town meeting in Spring 2003 and ex-

plained that he was working on the glossary before asking a question. The Chronicle reported that he was researching the history of K-ville, and Dinin said

his mailbox was full of e-mails the next day from alumni interested to get their hands on his finished work on the story of K-ville.

“That’s when I realized, ‘Wow, there’s a market [for a book] here,”’ he explained.

So Dinin started researching.

He decided he would try to record a chronology of K-ville history, but when he went to the Duke Archives to look for material, all he found were newspaper clippings and some pictures.

“There was really no written record of K-ville,” Dinin said.

Things got more complicated when, after e-mailing alumni for first-hand accounts of how K-ville got started, Dinin found that people’s stories didn’t match up.

It was obvious that an accurate chronology ofK-ville was impossible, Dinin decided.

That’s when he decided to try something a little literary, maybe even a little zany—using The Canterbury Tales as a model for the book.

“The storytelling contest [in the novel] gave me the flexibility to incorporate conflicting accounts,” Dinin explained.

He also was able to put in fictional stories that could plausibly happen. The Engineer’s Tale, for example, tells the story of how a guy’s girlfriend cheated on him in K-ville.

After beginning his drafts, Dinin approached Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students, with the concept. For information, Wasiolek pointed him in the direction of Duke men’s basketball head coach Mike

\frican

&

Krzyzewski, which led Dinin to work with Associate Athletic Director Mike Cragg.

As a result of the cooperation, Coach K’s wife Mickie Krzyzewski wrote the forward to the book.

“Duke Press was really receptive when I approached them with the book, and I think a lot of that had to do with me having the support of the basketball program,” Dinin said.

It took about a year for the book to go through the editing and printing process.

During that time, Dinin graduated and moved to Arizona.

Dinin, who is originally from Georgia, said that he wasn’t a big sports fan before he came to Duke.

“I didn’t even tent my freshman year, because I didn’t understand it,” he explained.

But after attending his first basketball game, he was hooked.

Dinin said his book was an attempt to explain that ultimately, tenting does not make sense—but when a student is there, it does not matter.

“When you’re trying to explain it to someone, you have to say, ‘lt sounds stupid, but trust me, it isn’t.’ I just tried to take the ‘Trust me’ part and put it into the book,” he said.

Dinin said his favorite K-ville experience was when fans—many of whom had tented together for weeks—flooded out of Cameron after a huge win.

“It’s that moment when you think, ‘Wow, that’s why I waited for two monthsfor that,”’ he said.

Since graduating, Dinin has been living in a hotel in Arizona, taking time to work on publishing the book and thinking about future projects before going to graduate school. He would like to write more books and one day be a professor.

Dinin will speak about The Krzyzewskiville Tales at Bostock Library tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The second tenting game this season will likely be the men's basketball team's contest against WakeForest.

K-VILLE

from page 1

The online poll for the second tenting game was conducted through the DSG website.

An overwhelming 66 percent of students voted in favor of Wake Forest, said Troyer. Twenty percent voted not to have a second tenting game at all.

The solicitation of student opinion is new to tenting policy. In past years, the decision was made between the DSG president and the head line monitor.

“I would say [the poll] was successful in the respect that it allowed us to, in a fairly efficient manner, gather student opinion and formulate policy based on that,” Longoria said.

In all likelihood, personal checks will be conducted the Friday and Saturday before the Tuesday night Wake Forest game, said line monitorJeff Harris, a junior.

The year’s second tenting game was only one of a number of matters discussed at a meeting of the line monitors Sunday. Issues of safety and tenting logistics were also on the agenda.

In light of recent safety issues at tailgate and in response to the urging of administrators, the topic of alcohol consumption in K2yzewskiviUe was also discussed.

Senior Brenda Bautsch, vice president

of athletics and campus services, said an addition to K-ville ordinances under consideration is a formal safety policy, which is supported by Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, and other members of the administration.

“I think a lot of it came out of last year, and also just the administration’s concern about the safety of the students,” Bautsch said.

Senior Lauren Troyer, head line monitor, said officials also discussed the logistics for blue and white tenting.

THE CHRONICL,E

Keeping our doors locked

At

a meeting last week Campus Council addressed a seemingly innocuous issue—bathroom

keys All

U

staffeditorial

residential bathrooms on Duke’s campus are locked per University policy. Residence and Housing Life Services gives students keys to their respective hall bathrooms at the beginning of each academic year. And if one student on a hall loses a key, all of the residents must get new ones.

Citing student complaints about bathroom keys, Campus Council members discussed possible changes to the

policy, namely allowing students on a hall to vote on whether their bathroom doors should be locked. If students voted unanimously and anonymously for a door to be left unlocked, resident advisers would hold onto the students’ keys. Votes could be changed at any time if residents decided they wanted their doors locked. current

E—i

Though seemingly trivial, bathroom locks are crucial in the context of general campus safety—and a simple consideration of this context shows that the policy changes proposed

by President Jay Ganatra and other Campus Council members are wrong.

Granted, keys can be a hassle. Students often lose them or fumble with them when trying to unlock some of the older bathroom doors. Other students prop doors open or tape locks down to avoid using keys.

But even if some students think they

are annoying, keys serve an important function. They are, in essence, a line of defense between students who have the right to use the bathrooms and strangers who do not. If doors were left unlocked, students would have to worry much more about people entering the bathrooms who are not supposed to be there—and that’s a scary prospect.

Several years ago, a female student

was raped in a bathroom in Wannamaker Dormitory. In response, the administration changed the bathroom locks and limited key access by gender. Reverting back to a no-lock policy, even by student vote, would be a dangerous move.

Though they certainly can happen in locked bathrooms, rapes and assaults would be more likely to occur when strangers could easily open unlocked doors and enter bathrooms. No student could feel completely comfortable showering or using a toilet stall in an unlocked bathroom, particularly late at night.

Moreover, unlocked bathrooms could strain relations between students and the housekeeping staff. More students—and possibly non-students—would be able to enter the bathrooms and cause damages. The housekeeping staff would have more to unnecessarily clean up, and students on a hall would still incur the blame for damages, even if they weren’t the ones who caused them.

RLHS has said on multiple occasions that the bathroom key policy is currently non-negotiable. Nonetheless, Campus Council latched onto the issue based on perceived student concern.

But focusing on little annoyances that will always be trumped by broader issues such as safety is naive and unrealistic.

There are cases in which fighting the seemingly unwinnable battle in the name of students is a good thing, even a great thing. This situation, however, is not one of the cases. RLHS seems unlikely to budge, and it will not—and should not—discount student safety.

If Campus Council wants to effectively address the bathroom lock issue, they should work with RLHS to figure out the technology and finances needed to install card swipes on the doors. Only the students on a hall would have card access to a bathroom, but at least that pesky key would be eliminated—and the safety of students and integrity of bathroom facilities would be preserved.

Reflections

on

the PSM 1 year later

year ago today, Phil Kurian, Trinity ‘O5, published the Iraq War. I like to believe that the activists finally acceptthe now notorious column “The Jews” in which he ed Israel’s right to exist as a state with safe and seJewish attacked the “shocking overrepresentation” ofjewish cure borders and recognized Israel’s immense contribustudents at top universities throughout the country.

But I believe the lack stein, Kurian descried Jewish exploitation of ofattention has more to do with boredom the “Holocaust Industry” and described the and the current state of affairs in the world than with any ideological reawakening.

Jewish people as a “very well-funded and This is the case not only at Duke but also well-organized establishment.”

Kurian’s column, however, was not an at the national level. An upcoming student aberration but rather a continuation of the conference on Socially Responsible Investlargely anti-Israel and in many cases anti-Seing at the University of Pennsylvania will mitic propaganda that flooded this campus not even address Israel. Once the darling adam yoffie of the divestment movement, Israel has during the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s annual conference. Held the weekend imbeen replaced by Sudan. As one Duke stuunited we stand dent involved in the conference told me, mediately preceding the publication of the column, the PSM brought together a wide “We are including Sudan this year because range ofanti-Israel activists ranging from outright supportmany campuses have big Sudan campaigns right now, and ers of suicide bpmbings and terrorist organizations, such as we are hoping they will come and will want to get involved representatives of the International Solidarity Movement, with other SRI issues.” Rann Bar-on, meanwhile, a Duke to concerned Israeli Refuseniks opposed to the continued graduate student in mathematics and the face ofPSM last fall, has been busy disseminating anti-Iraq War materials occupation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank. and marching on the quad.

I am not interested in rehashing the various events related to PSM and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that took On the pro-Israel side, however, student support has conplace that weekend and throughout the semester. I am in- tinued unabated. Unlike our counterparts who are often stead intrigued by the state of affairs one year later when it raised in leftist homes dedicated to a range of leftist causes, almost feels as if the conference—andKurian’s column for pro-Israel students grow up with Israel in the home, synathat matter—never occurred. I was initially stupefied by the gogue and often private school and summer camp as well. Islack of follow-up to the conference during the spring and rael is not a cause but rather a passion that will command our attention regardless of what else is going on in the world. It is now fall semester. I have noticed that the students responsinot that we are unconcerned with world affairs but rather ble for the PSM have largely been silent on the issue.

It finally dawned on me that Israel, like Tibet and South that the Jewish state is more than justanother news update in the press.

“If I forget you, O We may already be six Jerusalem, let my right weeks into the semeshand wither” ter, but Hiwar (the student group that ofPsalm 137, Verse 5 ficially sponsored the PSM) is bringing its first anti-Israel speaker to campus tonight. It is simply impossible to discount the virulent anti-Israel sentiment that pervaded last year’s conference and certain student groups at Duke. Pro-Israel supporters on college campuses throughout North America have a long way to go as Israel confronts a number of extremely sensitive issues, such as the direction of the security fence, the status of West Bank settlements and the future of the Likud Party.

But whether Israel becomes the cause celebre again for the anti-establishment left, I am confident that pro-Israel activism among Jewish students will continue long after the “Cause Heads” and Religious Right have moved on to what they deem to be more pressing domestic and international issues. For as our parents and grandparents have done ever year at their Passover Seders, we will continue to proclaim; Ba’shanah Haba’ah B’Yerushalayim —Next Year in Jerusalem. ,
