Dancer New Panthers to protest today Shabazz says group made prior will be unarmed, stay off Duke campus allegation by

Jared Mueller and Emily Rotberg THE CHRONICLE

The exotic CREEDMOOR, N.C. dancer who said she was raped by three members of the Duke men’s lacrosse team made similar accusations in 1996, officials confirmed Friday.

The resurfaced case—which was never prosecuted —has put the accuser’s credibility and District Attorney Mike Nifong’s judgment under intensified scrutiny as Tuesday’s DA primary election approaches.

On Aug. 18, 1996, the dancer-then 18 years old—told a police officer in Creedmoor she had been raped by three men in June 1993, according to a police document.

The victim’s father contradicted her account, telling the Raleigh News & Observer Thursday that no sexual assault had occurred.

“This is absolutely stunning... insofar as this appears to be a false and fabricated allegation,” said attorney Robert Ekstrand, who is representing a group of JOHN SOMMERS/REUTERS

The New Black Panther Party for SelfDefense will hold a demonstration at 10 a.m. today near the University in support of the exotic dancer who alleged she was raped by members of the Duke men’s lacrosse team at a March 13 party.

The event is slated to occur on Durham city property adjacent to West Campus. In addition, there will be a 6 p.m. town hallstyle meeting at St. Joseph’s AME Church on Fayetteville Street.

In an e-mail sent to the University’s students, faculty and staff April 28, President Richard Brodhead wrote that despite rumors that the protesters would be armed, law enforcement officials will ensure the demonstration remains peaceful. “[The NBPP] informed Duke Police that they have no intention of entering the campus to be disruptive in any way,” Brodhead wrote. ‘They also assured us they will not have guns.”

Lax case arouses campus activism by

Matt Sullivan THE CHRONICLE

As the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense prepares to chant down Duke today, the University again confronts the cavalcade of protest that has besieged campus in the five weeks since rape allegations surfaced against members of the men’s lacrosse team.

But today, students are also returning from “Stop Genocide” Darfur rallies in

Washington, D.C., and heading off to immigration rights boycotts, capping off

a semester full of campus activism.

The combination of outrage and outreach has left a number of prominent campus activists searching for ways to connect Duke students with humanitarian causes by building on recent grassroots success while harnessing the responses to immediate controversies.

“Certainly events like the lacrosse incident do cause a broader range of people to engage because it’s close to home, but I don’t think that’s a necessary element for good activism,” said Robin Kirk, coordinator for the Duke Human Rights Initiative. “I know a number of students who have spent time on things like Darfur, immigraSEE ACTIVISM ON PAGE 6

A decision is fast-approaching after the Vendor Review Committee gave its recommendations last week, said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services.

Nation braces for immigrant boycott by

Powell attacks Iraq war policy

NEW YORK—Now that immigrants have

grabbed the nation’s attention, what next?

Monday has been set aside for immigrants to boycott work, school and shop-

ping to show how much they matter to their communities.

But with some growing tired of street protests, and others afraid they’ll be deported or fired for walking out, people are planning to support the effort in myriad ways.

Some will work but buy nothing Monday.

Others will protest at lunch breaks or afterwork rallies.There will be church services, candlelight vigils, picnics and human chains.

The range of activities shows both how powerful the immigrants’ rights movement has become in a matter of weeks, but also that organizers don’t yet have a clear focus for their next step.

“It’s highly unpredictable what’s going to happen,” said Harley Shaiken, director of the Center for Latin American studies at the University of California at Berkeley.

“What unites everyone that’s going to do something on May 1 is they are making visible their strong feelings.”

Thanks to the success of previous rallies planning for Monday’s events, collectively called Un Dia Sin Inmigrantes—A Day Without Immigrants—is vast.

Officials in Los Angeles braced for huge crowds: Assistant Police Chief George Gascon said as many as 500,000 people could take part.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was forced to respond to criticism of the Iraq war Sunday. But the criticism was not from Democratic bashers—it came from former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who said in an interview that he had argued for higher troop levels than were actually deployed.

Iran doubts U.N.oil sanctions

The Iranian deputy oil minister said Sunday he did not believe the United Nations would impose sanctions on Iran because that would boost oil prices even higher.

"Any action like that will increase oil prices very high,"said M.H. Nejad Hosseinian.

Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

After months of construction and rerouted paths to the Bryan Center, students will find a completed West Campus Plaza when they return in the fall, Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, confirmed Sunday.

The plaza is still within budget and will be completed by Aug. 14, as scheduled, Moneta said. Student leaders are now working with members of the administration in order to plan a month-long series of events to commemorate the plaza’s opening.

The primary construction for the 40,000-square-foot student plaza began in August 2005 with the demolition of the former Bryan Center walkway. Since then, crews have concluded structural work and have now begun the final stages of plaza construction.

Moneta said construction crews are currently working on the periphery of the space, which will ultimately connect the Bryan Center, the West Union Building and Page Auditorium.

“The wooden decking is nearly finished alongside the Great Hall and soon work will begin on laying the finishing materials, [such as] tile, stone and pavers,” Moneta wrote in an e-mail.

In mid-May, construction will begin on the removal of the Bryan Center walls facing the plaza. Glass panels are being put in place of the walls in order to modernize the structure, administrators said.

“Soon after, doorways will be punched into the Great Hall and at the end of the new decking, into the Flowers Building, to provide access from the Chapel Quad,” Moneta added. Workers have planted trees, and preparations have begun for the shrubs that will border Page.

Esteemed novelistTomWolfe speaks Saturday as part of the 2006 NorthCarolina Festival of theBook.

Author ruminates on all things southern by

Katherine Macllwaine THE CHRONICLE

Mirroring the Blue Devil tradition of lining up for coveted basketball or concert tickets, eager fans spanned West Campus Saturday afternoon.

But the line contained a different breed of enthusiast—the avid reader.

Students and community members filled Page Auditorium to hear novelist Tom Wolfe address the question ‘What is Southern today?” The author of such novels as “Bonfire of the Vanities” and “I Am Charlotte Simmons” joined 80 other writers for the weeklong 2006 North Carolina Festival of the Book.

The Richmond, Va., native began by describing the South through sound effects. He animatedly imitated the noises of a tube of biscuits cracked open to make grits, the blasting of a car’s air conditioning left on high and the racket made by a leaf blower disturbing an otherwise serene setting.

For good measure

“Those are all sounds of the South, and they should be recorded in literature,” Wolfe said.

He continued his analysis of Southern sounds by setting the stage of the Bristol 500—a biannual Nascar race in Bristol, Tenn., that he called the biggest sporting event in America.

Wolfe contrasted the clamor of the Southern “good old boys” in the bleachers with the cool detachment of the “neckties and the suits” who escape the frenzy in their skyboxes.

“It successfully removes you from the event,” Wolfe said of the air-conditioned isolation of the wealthy spectators.

“Meantime, the real fans are there in the stands.”

Wolfe said the Southern-good-old-boy perspective provides a rich source of literary material.

He said the influence of the South on

Duke Student Government submitted a revised tailgating proposal to the Office of Student Affairs Friday.

The proposal, which DSG Presidentelect Elliott Wolf, a sophomore, said is “very preliminary,” emphasizes increasing the safety of the event by shifting its focus away from alcohol and toward programming.

“Student Affairs had hinted that they didn’t want organized tailgating,” Wolf said.

“That’s not what the students wanted.”

The plan suggests moving tailgate to the back-right lot of the Blue Zone, across the street from its current location.

It also features a permit system that would allow DSG to monitor the number of vehicles entering the zone and serve as away to hold groups accountable for their actions at tailgate.

Under the proposal, less enforcement will be needed because the threat of losing permits for future tailgates will incentivize students to behave appropriately, Wolf said.

Greek, selective living and other groups would be required to obtain permits a few days before each tailgate.

The location of the new lot would make the event less of an eyesore and food and water would be available on a neighboring field, which could also host concerts. DSG’s proposal would also abolish the time constraints placed on this year’s tailgates.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, brought up a number of issues, Wolf said. These included concerns about onsite enforcement and ensuring a balance in the number of permits handed out to independents and selective living groups.

“We’re working with Student Affairs to allay some of their concerns,” Wolf said.

Sue Wasiolek, dean of students, said

Primate Center gets $8 million, new name by

McGowan Jasten CHRONICLE THE

A number of animals at Duke’s former Primate Center have reason to be jealous these days—the center now excludes them from its new title.

In the wake of the University’s $B-million pledge last summer to renovate the center, University administrators officially renamed the facility the Duke University Lemur Center Saturday.

During its 40 years of existence, the center has gained a reputation as the premier place to house lemurs—a subset of primate prosimians found only in Madagascar, a small country off the coast of southeast Africa that exclusively hosts all 15 of the lemur’s endangered species.

The facility currently boasts the largest collection of the endangered subset of prosimian primates in captivity.

“Lemurs are the closest animals from which humans evolved,” said DULC Director Ann Yoder, who assumed her post in January 2006. “We’re using them as a model species through which we can better understand ourselves.” »der, who rned her h.D. in nat o m y the Duke ;sity MedCenter in said Ed edition proj-

ects include buildings for researchers to

study animals in their outside habitats and cabins ,to house international scientists.

More scientists from Madagascar have visited the center in recent years than ever before. Yoder said the increase in international visitors can be traced back to the fact that Duke scientists have emphasized first-hand demonstrations of conservation efforts to protect endangered species.

Duke currently prefers this method to costly efforts to reintroduce endangered lemurs in Madagascar.

Yoder noted that planned natural habitats will more closely resemble lemurs’ native habitats. She added that increasing free-ranging habitats for the animals will allow them to segregate, as they would in the wild.

Enhanced shelters and heating systems will also protect animals from the cold and facilitate year-round studies.

Currently, the center’s prosimian primates—which also include lorises and galagos —are placed into smaller environments to protect them from the cold climates of the Duke Forest each year. Researchers house primates in the protective environments from Oct. 15 to April 15.

Yoder said new shelters will allow animals to range freely during the day and retreat to heated shelters during cold nights.

“But most of all, we hope to use the center as a model for research and educational efforts among students and re-

James Siedow, vice provost for research, said Duke’s efforts to improve the DULC are the results of evaluations that effectively confirmed the center’s educational and research value to the University.

“I’m sure that by better utilizing the unique assets of the center, success in the center’s three areas of focus —conservation, research and education —will duly follow course,” he said.

Beyond the wild habitats at the DULC,

scientists at Duke are working to better understand lemurs through the Lemur Genomics Initiative.

The project—headed by the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy and other departments at the University —aims to identify genomic sequences through interdisciplinary efforts.

Additional research ties exist between the DULC and the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center and the department of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy.

But Nifong —who will face primary opponents Keith Bishop and Freda Black in the first election of his career—said the case against indicted sophomore players Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty is still strong.

“All the facts are not yet known, and many of the so-called ‘facts’ that have been reported and commented on are simply wrong,” Nifong wrote in a statement Friday.

Some critics have accused Nifong of publicizing the racially charged case in order to curry the favor of Durham County’s 90,000-plus black residents.

Of the DA candidates, Black and Nifong are white, and Bishop is black.

Relatives of the accuser have told the media she has considered dropping the current case—a move that would echo her decision not to pursue the 1996 accusations.

Moneta noted that the Duke University Union, in particular, will take charge of the plaza’s first 30 days.

“The Union, along with other campus organizations, has put together a calendar of events that starts when the plaza opens in August and ends on the last day of September,” junior Alex Apple, president of the Union, wrote in an e-mail.

On the first day of classes, a large event will be held to begin a “kickoff month” celebrating the plaza’s opening, he said. The month-long celebration will also have a closing weekend, coinciding with annual events such as Oktoberfest and Homecoming.

“The main goal is to get every event that happens on campus to be incorporated in the plaza kickoff month,” Apple said. “This includes academic departments, cultural groups, orientation, performance groups, University departments and events, and any other student groups out there.”

make it really come home.

“That’s the key to activism: making these seemingly faraway situations come close to home,” she said.

Automatic Activators Duke’s activist volume has increased during the past few years in response to large-scale, controversial events —from the Latino community’s demands following a fraternity theme party in 2003 to an uproar of debate when the University hosted the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s annual conference in October 2004.

“I think campuses are, and always have been, centers of activism, and things pop up which create it,” said Rann Bar-on, a third-year graduate student in mathematics who helped bring the PSM to campus. “Until this year—this semester actually—l was kind of unhappy with the way things were going. It was a little on the quiet side.”

Earlier this academic year, racially charged comments by former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett and the controversial cartoons of Muhammad sparked demonstrations at Duke and many other college campuses.

But it took Hurricane Katrina to spark a sizeable group of students—some 300 spent their spring breaks volunteering on the Gulf Coast, including one group led

by Bar-on.

“To see that political awakening coming not from books, from classes, from speeches, but to see itfrom experiential activism from going into the field and talking to people and seeing what this community is actually going through —is to me an extremely beautiful thing,” Bar-on said.

The ugliness of rape allegations hit campus after spring break, forcing Duke activists to contextualize different and more vitriolic debates about racism, classism and a city’s internal struggle.

came when Sexual Assault Awareness Week fell on the University at the same time as the national media.

Women’s Center Director Donna Lisker said a flood of female students sought counseling during the week but added that her staff worked to prevent the scheduled Take Back the Night march from becoming “another lacrosse rally.”

“I don’t think the message has changed at all,” Lisker said. “It may be easier for us to get an audience, but that’s not going to change the way we approach things.”

Junior Daniel Bowes, president of the University’s chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, however, acknowledged that fighting the single issue of an underage drinking sting last fall took attention away from issues like gay marriage and the Supreme Court.

“We just haven’t had the kind of interest that you’d hope a thriving academic community would have on these types of issues,” he said. “People are busy here.”

Incidents like the PSM Conference and the alleged lacrosse rape have struck a chord with student activists. from distributing flyers outside the West Union Building.

“Once the story dies down and it isn’t making headlines anymore, that’s when the real work starts,” said Dawn Peebles, a firstyear graduate student in cultural anthropology and leader of the Human Rights Initiative’s spring conference on Nepal.

After obtaining nearly 500 students’ signatures for President Richard Brodhead on both a card and an oversized T-shirt—a visual tool for activism not unlike the Sexual Assault Week clothesline—the group convinced the University in February to continue its leadership in the anti-sweatshop movement.

‘You kind of need the hardcore people who are doing the organizing and people around who are willing to sign something,” said Bar-on, who is also a member of SAS. “It doesn’t require the entire University to demand something to get things

Indeed, smaller student organizations have effected serious change of late, from the Sudan Coalition and other groups making the University a leader in fundraising and awareness for genocide in Darfur, to Duke Organizing helping, this semester, to save the job of one fired housekeeper but lose a similar fight for another.

After all the flyering, signing and protesting, the University’s disparate activist groups still find it difficult to make progress because “we’re not a very activist campus,” said senior Alex Oliveira, president of the Global Health Forum. “One thing that we have not used to our advantage is a philosophy about how to mobilize students, people and communities.”

Studies of student activism have shown that healthy activist subcultures extend protests from one issue to multiple causes—a finding supported at Duke by Brodhead’s acknowledgement that the lacrosse case “has brought to glaring visibility underlying issues.”

To that end, leaders of several Duke activist organizations have emphasized the importance of establishing unity and institutional knowledge across groups before allowing campus sentiment to focus solely on the rape debate.

“Alliances between groups are extremely powerful,” Bar-on said, noting the success of events on sensitive topics that have been sponsored by many groups. “I think there have been some opportunities squandered throughout the lacrosse stuff. I think we’ve certainly squandered the opportunity to integrate the whole community.”

Many other behind-the-scenes activists, meanwhile, emphasize looking beyond Duke’s walls.

“There’s been a lot of the kinds of speak-outs [against the lacrosse team] and rallies and panels and all that marching on the house—all that I think has been very positive,” Kirk said. “Still, there are students doing other, more global things that are much more powerful and impactful than any one scandal involving Duke students.”

WOLFE from page 3

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

Hundreds of people filled Page Auditorium to listen to novelist Tom Wolfe speak about life in the South Saturday afternoon.

RALLY

American military history was a central theme in his 1979 novel “The Right Stuff,” but he also learned about the importance of stepping beyond familiar boundaries while writing the book.

Wolfe praised realist authors like Charles Dickens and John Steinbeckfor exposing themselves to new realms and said a writer’s personal experience provides essential but limited literary material.

“Students hear the common maxim ‘write what you know,”’ Wolfe said. “If you want to write what you know, write one book.”

He added that a well-rounded novelist explores unfamiliar territory.

“Do not underestimate your power to know something else,” Wolfe said.

During a question-and-answer session following the speech, several audience members asked Wolfe about his opinions on current events.

20061 7

The subjects of their queries ranged from his attitude on immigration to the perceived similarities between the characters in his novels and individuals involved in recent rape allegations against members of the men’s lacrosse team.

Wolfe said he did not want to take a stance on the topic of immigration, which will be the focus of his next novel.

“I am just a social secretary,” he said. “I do believe there is such a thing as objectivity.”

Wolfe also declined to compare the circumstances in some ofhis works to the current situation at the University.

“None of these people in the fiction or in real life lived within 600 miles of Durham, North Carolina,” he said.

Community members and students gave Wolfe’s speech mixed reviews.

Chapel Hill resident Patsy Davis said she was disappointed that Wolfe did not discuss the common perception that Dupont University—the fictional setting of his novel “I Am Charlotte Simmons”—is modeled after Duke.

Freshman Stacy Chudwin said she appreciated Wolfe’s wise words. “He has been a very prolific writer in the past.

When Tom Wolfe gives you advice, you take it,” she said.

with representatives of the NBPP around 6 p.m. Friday.

Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the black separatist group, told the Raleigh News & Observer that a rally will convene at the intersection of Chapel Drive and Duke University Road and that his group will “conduct an independent investigation” of the alleged rape.

Shabazz also told the N&O that his group will “deal directly” with members of the men’s lacrosse team. An AntiDefamation League spokesperson told the N&O that the group has been known to brandish firearms at events.

It is illegal for anyone other than law enforcement personnel to carry firearms on college campuses in North Carolina.

A poster for the event showed pictures of Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, the two sophomores indicted in the rape case. “Had enough of disrespect and racism from Duke University? Demonstrate your discontent! Stand up!” the poster read. The two players’ images also appear on the NBPP website.

Aaron Graves, senior vice president for campus safety and security, said because the location of the demonstration is not on University property, the bulk ofresponsibility for ensuring safety will fall on the Durham Police Department.

“I understand why, given the reputation of the group and the noise that’s been made, people would be concerned,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public and government relations. “But I want to assure everyone that the University will take all necessary steps to protect students.”

Eddie Hull, executive director of housing services and dean of residence life, sent an e-mail oudining steps Residence Life and Housing Services will take Monday.

Hull wrote that residence hall card access will be restricted to residents only. He added that RLHS staff will be running increased rounds and will be monitoring propped doors and “tailgating”—the practice ofindividuals entering dormitories by following students who swipe their cards.

Administrators met for approximately one hour Friday afternoon and again briefly Sunday afternoon to discuss preparations for the demonstration. The meetings were chaired by Executive Vice President Tallman Trask and included officers from DUPD and the offices of Student Affairs and News and Communications.

“It was a very short meeting,” Moneta said of Sunday afternoon’s discussion. “No one knew anything new and there was nothing in the newspaper. We’re preparing for anything and hoping that nothing happens.”

Moneta said the University has a “game plan” in place to handle the situation should marchers be armed or enter campus. “It is absolutely, unequivocally our intent that there be no disruption for students,” Moneta said.

A poster for the town hall meeting said representatives of the NBPP, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Nation of Islam will join Philip Cousins—senior pastor of St. Joseph’s and a Durham County commissioner—and student leaders from North Carolina Central University.

The New Black Panther Party combines anti-white and anti-Semitic creeds with Marxist and black separatist ideology. It has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-hate non-profit group. The NBPP has been condemned by the leaders of the 19605-era Black Panther Party.The two are not affiliated.

DINING

Another committee member, outgoing Duke Student Government President Jesse Longoria, a senior, said he was “hesitant to comment on any specifics” but noted that he had a definite favorite.

“I was looking more for the demonstration of flexibility instead of hard and fast ‘this is how we do it at other places,”’ Longoria said, referring to the various companies’ proposals.

Officials at Bon Appetit are excited at the prospect of managing Duke dining, said Maisie Ganzler, the company’s director of communications and strategic communications.

She said that if Bon Appetit is selected, “students should see changes right away,” citing Santa Clara University as an example of what can happen when Bon Appetit takes over for ARAMARK “We blew the doors off of that place in terms of customer count,” she recalled. “It was a kind of a good problem to have.”

Bon Appetit has a decentralized decision-making office and a real executive chef on every campus, Ganzler explained. She added the company makes an effort to buy as many ingredients as possible from within a 150-mile radius of campus.

But the decision of who will receive the contract has not yet been finalized, said Kernel Dawkins, Duke’s vice president for

from page 1

Co-chair of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, said he recommended the contract be split between East and West Campuses.

Wallace, a senior, proposed that Bon Appetit be awarded West, while Meriwether-Godsey Inc.—a small Virginiabased firm—run East’s dining experience.

“There are clear choices of who would be better and who would be worse for each of the two main locations,” Wallace said, referring to the Marketplace on East and the Great Hall on West.

He added that although each committee member made his own recommendation, they were not all equally qualified to do so.

Some of them were in positions entirely unrelated to dining, although they may still have a stake in the outcome, he said.

“There was some disagreement by some people who weren’t necessarily informed—who don’t understand the food industry and how the economics of it work,” Wallace explained.

Still, he said he was most disappointed by a lack of student representation, with only four undergraduates and one graduate student serving on the committee.

“You’ve got to ask yourself—who eats the food?” he said. “We’re the main customer.”

TAILGATE from page 3

services

Top administrators—including Execu-

tive Vice President Tallman Trask and Provost Peter Lange —have yet to give their counsel “We will meet this week and hopefully make a selection,” Dawkins said.

He downplayed the imminence of other proposed changes to the dining model, in particular the potential changes to the freshman meal plan.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, told The Chronicle in April about the possibility of dedicating particular nights at off-campus restaurants for residents of specific freshman dormitories to use their dining plan.

“Our goal will be to have [the provider] in place immediately,” Dawkins said.

“More dramatic changes will take place over time.”

Dawkins said there will not be enough time over the summer to accomplish anything substantial regarding possible structural renovations.

“There is a very narrow window,” he explained. “The options are limited.”

No matter which vendor ends up winning the contract, the dining experience will be much improved, Dawkins said.

“Everyone is thinking about Duke dining in a very different way than ARAMARK did,” he said.

Sundayafternoon that she had not seen the document but that her main concerns about tailgate are the amount of alcohol and density of students present.

“As far as I understood we would not be having tailgating next year as we’d known it in the past,” Wasiolek said. “I think our sentiment is that we’d tried everything we could with tailgating last year and we still were not able to create a safe enough environment.”

For approximately two days, a letter addressed to students outlining “the policy that will govern the Fall 2006 tailgates” was posted on Wolfs website.

The document, which Wolf called a preliminary draft, summarized the proposal and had the names and titles of Wolf, junior David Snider, DSG vice president-elect for athletics and campus services, and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask at the bottom.

The letter was not signed by any of the three and was removed from the site Sunday night. Wolf said that he did not know who would need to approve a tailgate policy before it was finalized.

He said he will be working with various offices over the summer to compromise on a suitable plan.

VIRGINIA RUNS PAST DUKE IN ACCs Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

by

BALTIMORE In the ACC title game Sunday, the No. 1 Blue Devils trailed going into halftime for only the second time this season. But unlike its 11-10 comeback win over Notre Dame April 9, Duke fell apart in the second period and was unable to mount a charge to capture its second-straight ACC Championship.

First-seeded Duke (15-2, 4-2 in the ACC) was down 5-4 at halftime to second-seeded Virginia (15-3, 6-1).

After the break, the Cavaliers took advantage of a 6-0 scoring run to topple the Blue Devils, 13-8.

“It’s a combination of the things they do really well defensively, meaning they pretty much swarmed ballside,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “And it’s a combination of that style of playing defensively and we really didn’t execute our game-plan offensively.”

The Cavaliers handed the Blue Devils their only other loss on the season, 11-10, April 1.

“We didn’t think we handled [Virginia’s defense] very well the first time we played and our game-plan was to try do something different to combat it but we never really got there in our game,” Kimel said.

The beginning of the second half Sunday was a disaster for the Blue Devils. Virginia controlled the ball in Duke’s defensive zone for the majority of the half, which helped generate six straight goals for the Cavaliers in the first 20 minutes after the break.

Patiently swinging the ball around the Blue Devils’ defensive arc early in the second half, the Cavaliers’ attackers found senior midfielder Kim Connors. With an open shot, Connors rifled the ball into the back of the net for her team’s first score of the half to put Virginia ahead, 64.

Virginia’s offensive pressure did not let up. After SARA GUERRERO/THE CHRONICLE

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Mcßoberts will return for sophomore season by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

It was a week of departures and new beginnings for the men’s basketball team.

Saturday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium, Blue Devil fans wished J.J. Redick,

Shelden Williams and the rest of Duke’s seniors a final goodbye at the team’s annual awards banquet. The official conclusion to the season—and to the run of one of the best recruiting classes in Duke history—came just three days after head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced some news that might help ease fans’ concerns about the team’s future.

Freshman Josh Mcßoberts, who some had thought might leave for the NBA after just one season, will return for his sophomore year, the forward said in a statement released by Duke Wednesday.

“I am very excited about my decision to return to Duke to continue my academic and athletic career,” Mcßoberts said. “I love the atmosphere at Duke and the support the University receives from the com-

munity. There is no place better to play col-

lege basketball.”

Mcßoberts came to Duke as one of the top recruits in the country, but he was inconsistent during his first campaign as a Blue Devil. On the season, Mcßoberts averaged 8.7 points and 5.3 rebounds and led the Blue Devils in field goal percentage.

His thunderous dunks and ball-handling ability made him an immediate fan-favorite, but he struggled at times playing as the second big man alongside Williams.

Still, many scouts tabbed him as a lottery pick, even after the announcements that other underclassmen such as Tyrus Thomas, Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge would leave school early.

Mcßoberts’ mother, Jennifer, said her son’s decision whether or not to return to Duke was not about the potential to cash in for millions at the June 28 NBA Draft.

“I don’t think NBA status has ever been important to Josh,” Jennifer Mcßoberts SEE MCROBERTS ON PAGE 13

North Carolina continued its decade-

“We had a good plan,” manager Sean McNally said. “He’s a good pitcher, but we found some holes. We stayed short and didn’t expand the strike zone.”

Duke starting pitcher Jim Perry, subbing for ace Danny Otero—out with elbow tenderness—allowed five runs in six innings.

Sunday, the Blue Devils went up against Daniel Bard, another potential first-round draft pick from the Carolinarotation. Bard entered the game with a 16-inning scoreless streak, which he extended to 19 before Jonathan Nicolla’s two-out bloop single to right scored Javier Socorro and tied the game at one. „

UNC reliever Jonathan Hovis replaced Tar Heel starter Daniel Bard Sunday and shut down Duke's offense.

Duke managed to keep the game close, behind 2-1 heading into the eighth, but again the Tar Heels came on late to put the game away, 7-1.

UNC shortstop Josh Horton, hitting .401 to lead the ACC, crushed a home run in the eighth to push the lead to 3-1.

“That was an element that they had that we didn’t—they hit a bunch of balls out of the ballpark,” McNally said. “Horton’s was a separator at 2-1. We had a chance to get out of that inning.”

Duke lost Saturday, 8-2, with North Carolina’s Chad Flack’s two home runs and 4 RBI putting the game out of reach.

After winning the distance medley relay last year at Penn, Duke took sixth this year.

In the final day of the meet Sunday, the men’s and women’s 4xBoo meter relay teams ran well enough to qualify them for postseason play in the IC4As for the women and ECACs for the men.

In addition to the impressive performances on the track, head coach Norm Ogilvie said some of his team’s best performances came in the field events.

Junior Jonathan Fay won third in the men’s pole vault while sophomore Lara Jones’ effort on the women’s side was enough to qualify her for IC4A regionals.

“We had a good, solid weekend testing ourselves against the best in the country,” Ogilvie said, adding his team was tired after last weekend’s ACCs. “It’s the biggest spectator event all year.”

Duke’s second varsity eight experienced

Tian, Qinzheng THE CHRONICLE

After placing second in the ACC Championship last weekend, the fatigued Blue Devils finished with “bitter and sweet” results in a meet with Miami and Barry University Saturday on the Krome Avenue Quarry.

The Blue Devils’ first varsity eight edged the Hurricanes byjust 0.51 seconds, winning the 2,000 meter race with a time of 6:29.90.

Duke’s first varsity eight had a flat start and gave Miami a boat-length lead at the end of the first 1,000 meters. The Blue Devils, however, managed to pull off an impressive chase in the third split and carried the momentum through the last 500 meters to win.

a similar situation but a different result.

The Blue Devils could not find their power rhythm in the first 500 meters and fell behind Miami by more than a boat-length.

Despite tremendous effort in the last 500 meters, the Blue Devils lost to Miami by 0.47 seconds with a time of 6:48.16. Even though they lost, the time was the best of the season for the Blue Devils.

as bitter and sweet,” junior coxswain Katie Tobin said. “It was unfortunate that we had a half of a perfect race and half of lessthan-ideal race.”

In the first and second varsity four, Duke raced together with Miami and Barry University. Miami captured the win with a time of 7:38.97 to Duke’s 7:46.04. Barry placed third while Duke’s second varsity four finished fourth with a time of 8:29.06.

“We used the race as a training tool, team captain Emma Darling said.

Since returning from the ACC Championship, the Blue Devils have trained hard in anticipation of the South/Central Regional Championships, which will be held from May 12 to 14 at Oak Ridge, Tenn.

“We are ready to go,” Horner said. “The kids are technically in a good spot. They are mentally in a good spot. We are probably most ready that we have ever been.”

goals in the second half, Duke managed just five shots.

W.LAX from page 9 Duke midfielder Carolyn Davis received a yellow card in the her own defensive zone on a check to the head of Virginia midfielder Blair Weymouth, the Cavalier freshman blasted a free possession shot past senior goalie Megan Huether to extend the lead to 7-4.

Weymouth and Virginia senior attacker Tyler Leachman, the tournament MVP, combined for the next four goals to cap the run and put Virginia ahead, 11-4. Weymouth tied an ACC title-game record with six goals on the game, and Leachman broke the ACC Championship record with 11 goals in the tournament.

The Blue Devils advanced to the tide game after rolling over fourth-seeded Maryland Friday. Duke used a 7-1 scoring run in the second half to pull away and win, 19-9. Senior attacker Katie Chrest netted the 200th goal of her career and Huether recorded her 600th career save in the game.

Duke, however, was unable to mount a similar charge Sunday. In the time that the Cavaliers scored six straight

“We weren’t patient at all,” Kimel said. “I felt like we forced lots of bad shots. We took a lot of high outside shots, which is not the best part of our game.”

The Duke attack was not much more prolific in the first half. Even though the offense was able to effectively control the ball in the Virginia end of the field, the Blue Devils only registered four goals—matching their season low from the contest against Notre Dame for goals in a half.

Duke still had an opportunity to enter halftime tied.

But with ten seconds remaining, the Cavaliers’ Leachman single-handedly outmaneuvered the Duke defense and slipped a shot past Huether to take a one goal lead.

Virginia closed the second half by adding two Leachman goals to its earlier run. The Blue Devils managed to cut the lead on a pair of goals from freshman attacker Megan del Monte and scores from Leigh Jester, Davis and Chrest, but the desperate charge was too late.

Duke plays its final regular season game in preparation for the NCAA Tournament against Dartmouth Sunday. The NCAAs begin May 14, with Duke likely starting at home.

MCROBERTS from page 9 said. “It was about becoming the best player and the best person and the best place for him to do that is Duke.”

Jennifer Mcßoberts said her son consulted with Duke’s coaching staff and his AAU coach, Mike Connelly. Ultimately, though, the decision was left up to the 6foot-10 freshmen.

“This has been a 100 percent decision for Josh,” Jennifer Mcßoberts said. “That’s why it’s so good.”

After emerging during the final two months of this season, Mcßoberts’ continued improvement will be key to the Blue Devils’ success next . season with Redick and Williams gone.

“I am looking forward to working with the coaching staff to further develop my skills as a player,” Mcßoberts said. “The relationships that I have in place here played a major role in my decision.”

Duke will not have any recruited seniors for the 2006-07 season, with Mcßoberts, sophomore DeMarcus Nelson and freshman Greg Paulus leading the way.

After a red-shirt season, sophomore Dave McClure is also expected to return to the rotation in the fall. Duke also awaits a top recruiting class, which includes Gerald Henderson, Jon Scheyer and Brian Zoubek.

sportsbriefs Chrest and Kimel take ACC lax honors Senior Katie Chrest was named ACC Player of the Year and head coach Kerstin Kimel was tabbed ACC Coach of the Year by the league last week. Chrest, who currently holds school records for career goals and points, won the award for the second consecutive year. She has averaged a hat trick per game this season while amassing 46 total goals, including six against William & Mary April 21. She joined four teammates on the All-ACC team.

After leading her Blue Devils to a No. 1 ranking for only the second time in school history, Kimel earned the top-coach award for the fifth time in her 11 seasons with Duke. Kimel set a school record in starting the season with nine straight wins and has tallied nine wins over ranked opponents, including an upset of then-No.l Northwestern, which was riding a 31-game winning streak, April 7.

mitted to play football for the rival Tar Heels.

Mike Paulus, who at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds is significantly bigger than his older brother, turned down reported offers from the likes of USC, Michigan, LSU and Syracuse. Mike threw for 2,130 yards and 22 touchdowns last fall. Although the Tar Heels finished 5-6 last season, Paulus noted first-year offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti as his primary motivation in committing.

Before agreeing to play point guard at Duke, Greg Paulus was also considered one of the nation’s top quarterbacks.

Now I am thinking about shaving them. I’ve never shaved in my life, thus my beard is still soft with fine tips. I did not plan to shave until I get married. But now, I am no longer that sure To me, my beard means far more than just several grams of protein. It has become part of my identity. I do tian, qinzheng not shave because I do not senior column want to admit I am an adult yet.

I think marriage is the only event significant enough to make me declare my adulthood and shave.

However, here are the problems: First, as many friends ofmine have commented, I might never get married if I had that on my face. Second, my bride might love me partially because of the beard and would not even recognize me without it.

Over time, my beard has become my stubbornness. I don’t want to yield to social norms by sacrificing my personal identities. I am confused if it is an improvement to “understand” the social norms and obey them or if it is a loss of who I am. I may become a “better” person but less worthy as an individual. Is it a good thing to become an adult or insist on being a child? About to graduate, I am puzzled even more.

2. The finals I hope the professors will make the finals just easy enough, or you have studied hard enough so that they will not be challenges. Often times, exams are more of a challenge for your patience than your

intelligence.

For me, some final finals. Jokingly I said to my friends I might want to fail one so I could stay for one more year, because I wanted to write more about our rowing team (Yes, rowing, not basketball. We have a rowing team? Yeah. To learn more about them, please turn to my article on page 11).

As the sports photo editor over the past year, I, for

This edit, like tailgate legislation and spats, is a big fat joke. We’re tor summer—so a great one.

face

we

the first time in my life, started appreciating sports. It is not only about the excitement sitting courtside photographing J.J.; it is about seeing each individual athlete, with or without public attention, putting in enormous efforts to achieve the greatest excellence. '

3. The first job If you will start working in the New York area, good, and good luck! I probably will see you around. Please say “hi” if we bump into each other, no matter if I do or do not have my beard anymore. If you will start working and will not be in the New York area, goodbye, and good luck!

The first job is a always a challenge, if not the greatest one. A good start is halfway done and I hope you will enjoy it. If you are going back to school, good luck, and good lord! After 16 years of education, you want more?! Among you are some who I admire the most, who possess a genuine passion for knowledge—and some who I feel sympathy. If you don’t know what you are doing yet, good luck. Take your time; life is short, but it takes longer to come back from a wrong track.

Think carefully before you move and make the first a great one. you will do fine.

4. The rise of China The challenge we face. I am from China, and I think most of you guys are Americans. Here I use “we” because I believe that the States and China will become partners rather than enemies in the future.

There will surely be conflicts, but it is “our” challenge to resolve them.

China is not the challenge. The challenge is how the Americans should approach China’s rise. After the reformation in China in the past two decades, it has become one of the most important economic entities in the world. But the political reformation has been halted. It is foreseeable that China will have political reformations in the coming 10 to 30 years. How the Americans should interact with a different China, a stronger and also a more open one, will determine China’s, the United States’ and even the world’s future. We may be sitting on opposite sides of a negotiation table, but I hope Duke can be the common bond we share and together we can face the challenges.

THE CHRONICLE

Remember

Four

more years. Just kidding. For all of you who will still be here next year, here’s-looking on the bright side: at least there’s still women’s basketball.

As one who has suffered from senioritis since eighth grade—and proudly so —I’ve pretty much been ready to graduate from college since high school. (And what are my plans for next year? Grad school...

Webber t jffany / oh, the irony.) Don t get senior column me wrong, I’ve enjoyed the ride, but keep it real, if there were ever a time to get out of this place, this is it. Class of 2006, feel blessed. Tailgate will never be what it once was, “work hard, play hard” is morphing into “work hard, work hard,” buses are blowing up and fecal matter is raining down on students in Craven Quadrangle bathrooms.

Yes, it’s time to move on. After spending hours upon hours—yet happily so—in 301 Flowers (the Chronicle office) learning everything there is to know about Duke for the past two and a half years, it’s time to move on.

After writing coundess papers and studying for numerous tests and pulling I don’tknow how many all-nighters, it’s time to move on.

After fighting through swarms of people to board the East-West, walking for what seemed like miles to get my car from the Blue Zone and getting deboed out of parking spots in the Bryan Center lot too many times to count over the past four years, it’s time to move on.

After all the nights spent partying at Shooters or the Alpha house or George’s or the Great Hall or someone’s Central Campus apartment or Parizade (huzzah for the return), it’s time to move on.

I’ve paid my dues, fought the good fight and left it all on the field. It’s time to move on, but am I ready?

I don’t know. There have been too many jokes shared, moments touched and good times had for me to ever feel happy about leaving it all behind.

For the media sluts. I will miss...

Arguments during editboard. Skwak’s hilarious outbursts. Completely candid conversations. Trask, Lange and Brodhead. Weboggle. Margarita Fridays. Sports always beating News at Beirut. Gossip. Receiving drunk emails. The way Seyward had a story for everything imaginable. Sclafani. Never wanting to copy-edit Awkward moments and skwakward moments. Striped shirts, big hair and comments too explicit and scandalous to actually put in print.

To The Chron, the deadline came too fast.

For the homies. Do you remember...

How Rick’s at three o’clock in the morning was the afterparty? Basketball players dancing on the balcony Midnight Breakfast freshman year? Your first taste of Jungle Juice or Nupe Juice or Blue Brew? AAMP bowling and doing the Cha-Cha Slide down the alleys? Chilling outside on the East Campus benches (usually Brown’s or Giles’) when the weather was nice? Our first Myrtle experience staying at Casa de Homeless and dancing in cages at the Spanish Galleon? Watching our friends cross? Sleeping four to a twin bed and the gas station during that trip to D.C.? Tenting? Pregaming because we weren’t old enough to do everything we wanted in public? Visiting each other over the summers? Back to school barbeques and end-ofyear study breaks? Getting dressed up and looking proper for balls and then having no shame at the afterparty?

Finding our keeparounds? Trying to make summers in Durham crunk? Getting to tailgates all late because you know we were on CP time? Planning elaborate surprise birthday parties for each other and nobody ever being surprised because it was always expected? BSAI weekend scandals? Ludacris? Step show stuntin’? Sneaking into Cameron for basketball games? Road tripping to Howard’s or Morehouse/Spelman’s homecoming?

Thinking graduation was SO far away?

It’s coming to a close and I’ve truly had the best four years ofmy life.

This summer, I’ll be doing what I do best because retirement needs practice. Feel free to join me and let’s keep the good times rolling.

Rain on the Duke parade The

first time I visited Duke, it was one those soggyquad evenings—all mopey math majors and muddy flip-flops. I slumped on the corner of a Residence Life-supplied prison mattress. I listened to an ROTC and a depressed transfer-to-be argue about curriculum requirements. This was college alright, but not anything identifiable, nothing with attitude. I matt sullivan played video games to essenior column cape the dead air.

Turned out everyone else was at Cameron. Who would want to spend four years at a place like this? Duke sucks in the rain.

Returning in the spring, I had dinner with seven gorgeous girls on a gorgeous night outside at Parizade until the Delta Sig formal kicked us out, headed to the Edens quad for a Kappa Sig rager full of kegs, tunes and hugs, passed out in section, woke up and wrote my last high school English paper, got on a plane and couldn’t help but think of who wouldn’t want to grow up at a place like this, where you work hard and you play hard and then you work harder and then you play harder and that’s what you’re supposed to be doing if you want to. Duke rocked when it rocked.

In the four years since, I have witnessed nothing short of an administrative ransacking of this school’s social life. Deans, cops, neighbors, nerds and the shadow of the Ivy League have gradually and systematically pulled the rug out from underneath the backbone of this school’s identity: fun.

My senior class enjoyed the end of Natural Duke, Durham’s Best, Olde Gothic, what have you. Then we went abroad, came back and have been rolling our eyes at Dukie Light all the way through to this—the worst spring in Durham anyone can remember, the bittersweet end to the bitterest degradation of what was once a social scene to die for. This is not about a privileged group of white, Northeastern Tri Delts and Pi Phis and SAEs. This is not about Dick Brodhead’s master plan to ruin your life. This is about a change in priorities for a university stuck between a rock and a hard place without a clue as to what made my class and I want to come down South instead of go to goddamn Harvard.

Duke’s administration has turned up the heat on the pressure cooker of academics and pre-profession-

alism while simultaneously putting a stranglehold on its students’ release valve. Sure, it’s not their fault that Parizade didn’t want to put up with Thursday night dance parties or that Bully’s management was too incompetent to handle a big crowd or that Charlie’s cards too Jiard.

But it’s their fault for upping admissions standards while cutting off anywhere to cut loose on the campus where we pay them to live (When’s the last time you saw a physics major—or anyone, for that matter—chug a beer on the quad?).

It’s their fault for curing a headache by forcing two mainstay fraternities off campus and doing everything in their power to stop them from organizing themselves (When’s the last time you heard Duke not promote its students’ entrepreneurship?).

It’s their fault for appeasing nutso neighbors by having Dean Bryan and the Duke Police chase kids down Watts Street, only to call in the ALE ringers and secretly buy up students’ homes when that didn’t calm them down (When’s the last time you saw any place of higher learning try to screw over a kid’s law school application for having a drink with his girlfriend after a final?).

And it’s certainly their fault for backing down to the Athletic Department by taking the last school-wide social event remaining—tailgates (R.I.P.) —and backhandedly forcing kids to binge drink at 8 a.m. so they can (not) go watch kickoff (When’s the last time you saw Duke wipe a social scene led by lacrosse players off the face of the earth as a hypocritical face-saving move to make up for past wrongs and public lies? Oh, wait...).

So the last time I visited Duke, it was that pouringrain-quad Last Day of Classes —all rebels remaining and muddy memories. I stood holding a case of beer, breaking the rules to have fun, as usual. I watched a laxer doing that hilarious, robed secret society routine and felt sorry for him and his compadres who’ll get all the blame for the administration’s backward handling of student life. This was college alright, but not anything identifiable anymore, nothing but lingering attitude. I looked for an underclassman to wish him luck and tell him I didn’t have a solution. Turned out everyone else was still in class. Who would’ve wanted to spend four years at a place like this? Duke rained on our parade.

Finding your passion Dear

freshmen, sophomores,juniors and seniors; “We can’t be potential forever,” a friend said to me a few weeks ago—and he was right. The hardest part about college, for many precocious 17year-olds home away from home, is finding passion.

Most Duke students have come off four high-school years of doing everything—service clubs, the varsity sports, student newspaper, government —and doing it all brilliantly.

But you can’t keep it up for the rest of your life. Eventually, Andrew gerst we all have to choose: senior column a major, a fraternity, a career, a life. With thousands of students chasing a million different dreams, it’s hard for anyone to search through it all and find a single inspiration.

So here’s my advice for anyone who, like me, has ever struggled to find a life-defining passion: Don’t give up. Our society, to my regret, seems to idolize a lifestyle of postmodern ennui and nihilism. (To name a few culprits: Garden State, On the Road, Radiohead.)

One of the factors contributing to that apathy, I think, is overspecialization —the tendency to jump off the boat too soon. We know we’re supposed to pursue

one burning passion, and the easiest way to find it is to force it. When that would-be touchstone doesn’t work out, as usually happens, the apathy sets in.

Academia, and especially Duke, have unwittingly caused students to close themselves off to new opportunities. Theses, FOCUS and the whole concept of “undergraduate research” often end up pigeonholing students into a single field before they’re really ready to pick. I think I limited myself, in many ways, by jumping past survey courses and taking up demanding research projects without really knowing why.

Duke has tried to remedy the situation with a focus on double majors and all things interdisciplinary —but it’s a false god. When you end up chasing the course requirements for not one but two departments, you end up with even less time for electives.

Students tend to blame curriculum requirements for

this crunch. But in my experience, I’ve gained far more to take an STS class than by taking yet another course for my major. If you treat these requirements as opportunities to explore, rather than another box to check off, you’re bound to reap greatly.

If you take away one thing from this column, this is it: Take yourself seriously.

Not too seriously—but with enough gravity that you’ll be able to recognize your passion when you stumble upon it.

Have faith. Don’t do one thing just because you think you’re good at it. Do many things because you think you’d love all of them.

Start thinking of yourself as a leader. Today. It’s important to remember, as President Brodhead pointed

by being forced

The keys to happiness at Duke

I

don’t profess to know exactly what it takes to have the perfect college experience. I don’t have any step-by-step directions

you make your time here worthwhile, and honestly, I don’t think anyissa hanna one who senior column claims that he does really knows what he’s talking about.

However, what I do have is four years of experiences. And I know I wouldn’t give them up for the world. I’m not saying my time here at Duke has been perfect—we’ll all have our ups and downs but the total package I will be leaving with is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Below you will find things that I did during my four years at Duke University that have made my college experience worthwhile. This is not intended to be a checklist of any sort. Everyone does things their own way. These are just some suggestions that I like to think might be worth your time.

First and foremost, never, ever, ever do homework on a Friday night. No excuses.

—

Period. Your friends will hate you, and least, you won’t feel like a bum, because you will be miserable.

If you’re a Trinity Arts and Crafts stu-

dent like me, it is worthwhile to do as much of your reading as you can. I say this for a few reasons: First, so you have a come-back when those bitter Enginerds badger you about not ever doing any work; second, because your professors will actually like you when you have something meaningful to say during class discussions; and third, because you’ll actually learn something.

Once in seventh grade, my math teacher, Mrs. DeVeau, gave me a pencil for being her student of the month. On this pencil were engraved the words, “Learning is not a spectator sport.”

Words to live by.

Don’t be that guy who sits in the back of the classroom, falls asleep and says absolutely nothing all semester. Nobody likes that guy.

Like I said above, what I’m offering here are just some suggestions. I’ve lived by them, and they’ve helped to make my time at Duke the best four years of my life.

Thanks to all of the people who have been so important to me since the day I stepped onto East Campus. I will miss you all terribly. Best of luck to all of you.

Lunch period poll sci

GERST from page 5

College is still probably a good idea, but everything you need to know about America you can learn in high school. For example, if you want to understand American class structure you'd be misled if you read Marx, but you'd understand it perfecdy if you look around a high school cafeteria.

The jocks sit here; the nerds sit there; the techies, drama types, skaters, kickers and gangstas sit there, there and there. What you see is not class in the 19th-century sense, but a wide array of lifestyle cliques, some richer, some poorer, but each regarding the others as vaguely pathetic and convinced ofits moral superiority.

Similarly, when it comes to politics, high school explains most everything you need to know. In 1976, Tom Wolfe wrote an essay for Commentary in which he noted that our political affiliations are shaped subrationally. He went on to observe that especially when we are young and forming our identities, we make sense of our lives by running little morality plays in our heads in which the main characters are Myself, the hero, and My Adolescent Opposite, the enemy.

"Forever after," Wolfe writes, "the most momentous national and international events are stuffed into the same turf. The most colossal antagonists and movements become merely stand-ins for My Adolescent Self and My Adolescent Opposite.

"IfMy Opposite, my natural enemy in adolescence, was the sort of person who seemed overly aggressive, brutish and in love with power, I identify him with the 'conservative' position. If My Opposite, my natural enemy in adolescence, seemed overly sensitive, soft, cerebral and incapable of action, I identify him with the 'liberal' position."

And so it goes. In every high school there are students who are culturally and intellectually superior but socially aggrieved. These high school culturati have wit and sophisticated musical tastes but find that all prestige goes to jocks, cheerleaders and preps who possess the emotional depth of a cocker spaniel. The nerds continue to believe that the self-reflective life is the only life worth living (despite all evidence to the contrary) while the cool, goodlooking, vapid people look down upon them with easy disdain on those rare occasions they are compelled to acknowledge their existence.

These sarcastic cultural types may grow up to be rich movie producers, but they will remember their adolescent opposites and become liberals. They may grow up to be rich lawyers but will decorate their homes with interesting fabrics from the oppressed Peruvian peasantry to differentiate themselves from their jock opposites In adulthood, the former high school nerds will savor the sort of scandals that befall their formerly athletic and the Duke currently corporate adolescent enemies lacrosse scandal, the Enron scandal, the various problems that have plagued the frat boy Bush. In the lifelong struggle for moral superiority, problems that bedevil your adolescent opposites send pleasure-inducing dopamine surging through your brain. Similarly, in every high school there are jocks, cheerleaders and regular kids who vaguely sense that their natural enemies are the brooding poets who go off to become English majors. These prom kings and queens may leave their adolescent godhood and go off to work as underpaid sales reps despite their coldly gracious spouses and effortlessly slender kids, but they will still remember their adolescent opposites and become conservatives. They will experience surges of orgiastic triumphalism when Sean Hannity eviscerates the scuffedshoed intellectuals who have as much personal courage as a French chipmunk in retreat. Because these personal traits are so pervasive and constant, Republican administrations tend to be staffed by people who are well-balanced but dull, while Democratic administrations tend to be staffed by people who are interesting but neurotic. Because these rivalries are so permanent, nobody has ever voted for a presidential candidate they wouldn't have had lunch with in high school.

The only real shift between school and adult politics is that the jocks realize they need conservative intellectuals, who are geeks who have decided their fellow intellectuals should never be allowed to run anything and have learned to speak slowly so the jocks will understand them.

Meanwhile, the geeks have learned they need to find popular kids like FDR to head their tickets because the American people will never send a former geek to the White House. (Bill Clinton was unique in that he was a member of every clique at once.) The central message, though, is that we never escape our high school selves. Vote for Pedro.

out in his Martin Luther King, Jr. Day speech, that abstract forces don’t define history—individuals do. (My apologies to the literature department.)

There are a thousand things to be concerned about

today: Islamic fundamentalism, immigration issues, the national debt, global warming.

But you and I are the ones who will inherit these

problems. It is your responsibility, and mine, to take

care of them.

Try to be an idealist, not a cynic. As another friend pointed out, it’s easier to be critical than correct.

Remember that we are all incredibly lucky to be here—to be alive and with food and clothing and shelter, let alone to be at one of the world’s best universities.

Love each other. When the choice comes between mercy and justice, choose mercy.

Finally, surround yourself with inspiring people. Holing up in a room all day can’t be healthy. So much of learning comes from psychological and emotional factors—things that are hard to get from a textbook.

But for God’s sake, don’t forget to have fun. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend many nights at Cosmic, parties, movies, restaurants, beaches and semi-formals instead of doing work.

I say these things out of my own faith and experience. There are many paths to happiness and success.

But I really believe that if you approach all these opportunities with joy in your heart, you will love Duke, s Andrew Gerst is a Trinity senior and managing editor of Towerview magazine.
