Two months after a whirlwind of controversy precipitated the end of the 2006 men’s lacrosse team season, President Richard Brodhead announced the reinstatement of the program under stricter oversight and a new interim head coach Monday.

Although three members of the 2006 team—David Evans, Trinity ’O6, and juniors Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann—were indicted on rape allegations an exotic dancer made after an off-campus party March 13, Brodhead said he thought it was appropriate to allow the return of the program with several new initiatives aimed at preventing future incidents.

Apart from criminal allegations, controversy surrounding the case raised several issues regarding the behavior of the team within the community, and Brodhead said he would not have brought the team back without a “clear statement of the conduct

Compass to replace ARAMARK Black professors discuss lax effects Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE

by

Capping off months of heated discussion, the University selected Charlotte-based Compass Group conglomerate to manage Duke dining, administrators confirmed Monday.

A pair of Compass brands, Bon Appetit and Chartwells, will take charge of dining operations on East and West Campus, respectively. Minor tweaks to the freshman board plan will also be in place ibr the start of the fall semester.

“When we talked to their clients, well, frankly, it seemed unusual that there could be such happy clients out there,” said Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst.

The University’s agreement with Compass is “fundamentally different” from its previous contract with ARAMARK Corp., said Kernel Dawkins, vice president of campus services.

Compass’ initial contract runs only two years with an option to extend for an additional three, Dawkins ex-

In the wake of allegations that members of the men’s lacrosse team raped a black woman, increased demands from students and administrators contributed to a challenging semester for many black faculty at Duke.

In addition, concerns about the administration’s response to the situation have led to calls for renewed efforts in the hiring and retention of black professors.

“Black faculty in particular [have been affected] because of the very racial dimensions of some aspects of the incident,” said Paula McClain, a professor of political science who is black. “The substantial number of faculty people that I have talked to have all felt the same way—that the University failed to recognize the racial dimensions of this and failed to address it quickly.”

Six black faculty members are leaving their positions at the University this summer, five from the School of Arts and Sciences and one from the Fuqua School of Business.

CIA prison probes accuse EU

Senate rejects gay marriage ban by

Laurie Kellman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate rejected a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage by a wide margin Wednesday, delivering a stinging defeat to President George W. Bush and other Republicans who had hoped the issue would rally GOP voters for the November elections.

The senators’ vote was 49-48 to limit debate and bring the amendment to a yes-orno decision. That was 11 short of the 60 needed, killing the measure in the Senate for this year.

Bush suggested the ban was proper and its time would still come.

“Our nation’s founders set a high bar for amending our Constitution and history has shown us that it can take several tries before an amendment builds the twothirds support it needs in both houses of Congress,” he said.

Democrats suggested it was all about conservative politics.

“Why is it when Republicans are all for reducing the federal government’s impact on people’s lives until it comes to these stinging litmus test issues—whether gay marriage or end of life—they suddenly want the federal government to intervene?” asked Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif. “It makes no sense other than throw-

ing red meat to a certain constituency.”

The 49 votes to* keep the amendment alive were one more than the measure received the last time the Senate voted, in 2004. Proponents had predicted the amendment would get at least a 51-vote majority in the 100-member Senate with the gained four Republican seats since then.

It takes two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress to send a proposed amendment to the states for ratification.

The House will take up the issue next month.

NEW YORK Stocks dropped Wednesday, extending investors’ losses for the —

The Dow has lost more than 316 points this week; the selloff has also wiped out the Nasdaq composite index’s gains for the year and put the Standard & Poor’s 500 index less than 8 points away from its Dec. 31 close.

With little economic data or corporate news to move stocks, traders were left to

Volume was light, as it has been all week, which some investors say is a sign of more losses to come.

“When we have big down days on big volume, that’s a sign of capitulation,” said Chris Johnson, manager of quantitative analysis at Schaeffer’s Investment Research in Cincinnati. “Monday and Tuesday, we saw selling, but it wasn’t the type

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 71.24, or 0.65 percent, to 10,930.90.

Broader stock indicators also fell. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 7.70, or 0.61 percent, to 1,256.15, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 10.98, or 0.51 percent, to 2,151.80.

When the annual Duke-Durham Cam-

The all-time high exceeded last year’s total by more than $50,000. This year, the campaign took place amid continued talk of strained town-gown relations in light of recent allegations involving members of the men’s lacrosse team.

The University recently made public the first half of the Campus Life and Learning report—a major study of undergraduate student life at Duke.

The findings shed light on many facets of the undergraduate environment—ranging in topic from questions of racial discrimination in the classroom to the prevalence of alcohol consumption on campus.

$lO,OOO. “We’ve seen a continual rise in the commitment of the internal Duke community and the business and civic community outside of Duke to converge resources,” said Sam Miglarese, director of the campaign and assistant director of the Office of Community Affairs.

Miglarese said Duke University Stores and Duke University Facilities Management were two departments that made particularly significant contributions to the project. i Duke University Stores provided flooring for the Emily Krzyzewski Family Life Center, which opened in February, and Duke University Facilities Management worked with Duke contractors to provide landscaping and a new footbridge for a park in Pauli Murray Place a West End residential community for low-income families.

Miglarese added that students played a major role in raising funds for the project.

This year, 20 students enrolled in the Durham Giving Project, a spring-semester house course that focused on socialjustice issues pertinent to the Durham community.

As part of the course, every student and instructor raised $250, which the Office ofCommunity Affairs matched with a $2,500 grant.

University releases strategic plans for each school A&S, Pratt aim to foster more interdisciplinarity WOJCIECHOWSKA

BY IZA THE CHRONICLE

As the University strategic plan enters its final draft stages, the School ofArts and Sciences and the Pratt School of Engineering have also drawn up their individual plans, outlining their priorities for the next five years.

In line with broader University strategies, Arts and Sciences intends to concentrate on faculty, new initiatives, the arts, interdisciplinary education and emerging fields and disciplines.

Pratt, which will also focus on interschool collaboration, will turn its aims to people, ideas and infrastructure.

A draft of the Arts and Sciences strategic plan was reviewed by the Academic Council and the Board of Trustees in May. After revisions are made over the summer, the Board will receive a final version of the plan in early fall for approval.

Deans developed seven academic themes the school hopes to emphasize and enhance with new initiatives, academic programs and facilities.

One of the draft’s proposals centered on a revitalization of the arts scene on campus, already facilitated by the recent opening of the Nasher Museum of Art and the Arts Warehouse.

The creation of a new Center for the Arts —which will integrate creative arts with humanities—on the new Central Campus is also on the agenda, along with plans to add or renovate arts facilities on East and West Campus.

Increasing financial support for Ph.D. students in the next few years is the main focus of the new Graduate School strategic plan.

“We recognize that in this era of financial constraints, our first obligation is to support the students that we have and that we want to take in,” said Lewis Siegel, outgoing dean of the Graduate School, who spearheaded the plan’s development.

Raising stipends for Ph.D. students to the median level of peer institutions’ offerings is “the biggest, most concrete goal in the plan,” Siegel said.

Currently, stipends range from $l,OOO below the national median in biological sciences to $l,BOO below in the humanities. “It is quite an enormous gap,” he said.

The school could raise the stipends for all current students as well as those matriculating or take a more fiscally conservative approach and offer the higher stipends only to incoming students, Siegel explained.

plicated by caps on external grants provided in large part by the National Institutes of Health—the plan proposes that all revenue from tuition or fees for graduate students go to the Graduate School, which will then recycle it into student support or programs.

Siegel said the proposal would formalize a tacit agreement the Pratt School of Engineering had broken by charging its graduate students extra and keeping the revenue for its own purposes.

Last year, the Graduate School used registration fees from Pratt students to fund general fellowships to allow them to explore their academic interests before settling into a funded lab position; the strategic plan calls to expand this program and potentially instigate lab rotations for first-year students.

The Graduate School will also look into restructuring its formal financial processes.

newsbriefs DUMC to eliminate family medicine program The Duke University Medical Center will stop training family physicians and will eliminate the three-year residency program in family medicine, officials announced last week.

The changes are being made due to a decreasing interest in the training program and in primary care—a major component of family medicine. DUMC officials intend to redirect primary care duties to physician assistants or nutritionists.

Current and former residents of the program have also criticized it for not providing enough hands-on learning

opportunities.

The program will finish training its current familypractice residents, including those who have signed on to begin the program in March 2007.

DUMC’s family practice program was founded in 1972 and is one of the oldest in North Carolina, although it has always struggled in comparison to other family residency programs in the state, decreasing the size ofits program when it could not fill the slots.

The family medicine program was slated to be eliminated in the 1980s but continued after doctors and state officials objected because residency programs are an important source of doctors for the state.

Officials said they do not believe a similar decision will be made again this year.

Duke receives SI.9M for biology research and programs The University has been awarded a $1.9-million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to strengthen science education and research for undergraduates.

The four-year grant will be used to provide opportunities for students to explore biology as a set of systems using interdisciplinary principles and employing knowledge ofmathematics and statistics.

Duke will use the funding to create a Hughes Vertically Integrated Partners program for risingjuniors and seniors to participate in interdisciplinary research with faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.

The VIP program will focus on cell systems, modeling, genomics, signal processing and the evolution of com-

plex'systems.

The grant will also finance the new Hughes Summer Science Network, which will offer lectures and activities for all undergraduates participating in summer research.

Duke was one of 50 universities to receive an HHMI grant this year. The University received a $l.B-million grant from the institute in 2002 to enhance genomics education.

2006-2007 parking rates to increase Parking rates will rise slightly this academic year to cover increasing operating costs associated with fuel for transit buses and parking lot maintenance.

Faculty and staff members’ monthly rates will likely increase by 20 or 30 cents, but rates for non-reserved sites in

decks and surface lots will see an increase ofbetween 20 depending on location.

Student, visitor and vendor permit rates will also increase slightly.

Walltown barbershop reopens for new generation by

Ryan McCartney THE CHRONICLE

George Glover doesn’t quite remember the first time he got his hair cut nearly 30 years ago at Miracles barbershop—a slumped yellow coftage nestled three blocks from Duke’s East Campus.

Since those days, however, the grayhaired Durham native has seen his Walltown community change, a University emerge and a beloved barbershop —the place to sit around and play checkers on a hot summer afternoon —shut down and then reopen to a new era of customers.

“It been so long ago now I forgot,” Glover admits. “That was back when Mr. Frizel Day owned the place. The older heads are gone now, you know, but all the locals of Walltown, we used to patronize that shop.”

For many old timers, the quaint, threechair, lantern-lit barbershop that has been passed down through the community stands as a triumphant fixture of the Walltown they will never see again.

About a year ago, the traditional barbershop reopened its shuttered doors to a new generation of Walltown residents.

“I’ve always been told, ‘if you want to get a sense of a neighborhood, go to the local barbershop,’” says Rodney Bower, one of two barbers wITo run the shop these days.

“It’s a significant place. Welcome to the shop, man. This place got history—so many stories have been told inside these walls.”

As children on bicycles race by outside Miracles’ air-conditioned chill, temperatures reach a scorching 93 degrees.

Bower’s rusty fold-out chair guards the entrance to the shop.

Jay Jones opens the barbershop’s screen door and positions himself in a chair.

Bower switches on a single lantern, casting a yellow light on the shop.

On Fridays and Saturdays, Bower says he can get as many as 30 customers, ages five and up. A normal haircut costs $lO. Jones will have to pay an extra $2 for his braids.

FACULTY from page 1 lacrosse incident surfaced, and in most cases the scandal had very minimal, if any, effect, Provost Peter Lange said.

McClain, however, said the consensus among many black professors that the University responded too slowly to the racial aspects of the case is “depressing and demoralizing for faculty.” No top administrator has met with members of the black faculty to explicitly address the issues broached by the lacrosse incident, she added.

“There is a danger, I think, that both students and faculty may somehow interpret the environment at Duke as hostile toward blacks,” said Lee Baker, a professor of cultural anthropology who is also black. “Whether that’s the case or not, even if there is a perception, there could be a snowball effect.”

He stressed the importance of overcoming these perceptions, noting that they could be damaging to both student and faculty recruitment.

It is crucial for administrators to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for black faculty, McClain said, adding that this goal is not reflected in drafts of the University’s strategic plan.

“Black faculty that are here may consider leaving, and it may be far more difficult when black faculty are leaving to recruit others,” she said.

Between 1993 and 2003, the Black Faculty Strategic Initiative doubled the number of black professors on campus—from 44 to 88. But as of January 2005, blacks still only comprised 3.9 percent of the University’s more than 2,500 faculty members.

After the completion of the BFSI, administrators and faculty both acknowledged a shift in focus from recruiting black faculty to increasing diversity in other forms, such as hiring more women and other minorities.

“I think they stopped paying attention to black faculty,” McClain said.

Lange.disputed this sentiment, and said strides have been made to create a sense of community for black faculty.

“There’s a perception out there that our commitment has been waning to the hiring and retention of black faculty,” he said. “There’s a lot of things that have happened which have not been consistent with that.”

He added that 10 black professors were hired this year.

“That’s a very high number, one of the highest numbers we’ve had in the last decade,” he said.

Throughout the spring semester students have sought out black professors to discuss the rape allegations, Lange said.

In addition, professors were asked to serve on the committees formed to address the broader issues raised by the scandal, compounding teaching and research responsibilities. “[The lacrosse scandal] made teaching the spring semester very challenging, but also rewarding,” Baker said. “[The demands] have frankly sucked our energy—I’m hoping in a positive way—but it’s really been quite taxing.”

Lange acknowledged that administrators often burden a relatively restricted number of black faculty when forming committees—a problem he called a “difficult dilemma.”

“If we’re not at the table then there’s not going to be a voice,” McClain said of her own experience. “But then because there’s so few of us we’re just kind of worked to death.”

Lange added that this speaks to the need to increase the number of black faculty and to expand the pool from which committee members are drawn.

Wireless coverage to expand by 20% WOJCEECHOWSKA

BY IZA THE CHRONICLE

Wireless Internet on laptops, Blackberries and other PDAs on campus may become even more accessible by the fall, as University buildings undergo a major technological overhaul.

By August, officials in the Office of Information Technology aim to increase wireless network coverage in academic buildings to 100 percent.

With the improvements, 55 percent of all buildings on campus will be enabled with next-generation wireless. Currently, only about 35 percent of campus is wireless-accessible, but mainly with “hotspotstyle coverage” in concentrated areas.

“The plan here is to provide more übiquitous coverage so students, faculty and staff can use their wireless-connected laptops wherever they are,” said Kevin Miller, senior manager of OlT’s Department of Network Technologies.

The project—which will install approximately 900 wireless access points, covering about 3,000 square feet of building space —will cost around $1 million.

A one-time grant set aside for information technology from Building on Excellence, the University’s previous strategic plan that ended this year, will finance the project.

In Spring 2005, OIT officials developed architecture for the anticipated wireless changes, and a pilot program was implemented in Bell Tower Dormitory in the fall.

“We tested the technology, made sure we were comfortable with it and that it met our goals,” Miller said.

In late Fall 2005, a proposal was drafted for expanding the changes to the rest of campus.

Miller said other dormitories will not have their Internet technology updated as part of the summer project due to financial constraints.

LLR from page 3 Initially, the project’s goal was largely focused on the experiences of minority students, but the scope was expanded to include other variables, such as economic level, gender, race and greek life, among others.

“From the beginning, we didn’t want this to just be a study on race,” said Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College ofArts and Sciences. The project—initiated in 1999 by Thompson and former Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Smith Dickerson—was modeled after a larger national study of elite institutions.

In the recently released report, researchers analyzed data sampled from students in the period before their freshman year to the end of their sophomore year.

The second report, which will examine the last two years of students’ time at Duke, will likely be released in the fall, officials said.

In the transitionfrom high school to life at Duke, researchers said the variations in reported self-esteem were “striking.” Both male and female students reported lower self-esteem after coming to Duke in their first year, and although it rebounded in students’ second year, self-esteem remained below the level reported in pre-college surveys.

Spenner said one of the report’s most “highly problematic” findings regarded classroom climate. The report found that 15 and 18 percent of black students, for first and second years respectively, reported an instance of racial or ethnic discrimination from instructors—compared to less than 3 percent of white students and be-

By August, 100 percent of the University's academic buildings are slated to have wireless capabilities.

OIT, however, is currently pursuing funding to upgrade residence halls, eventually bringing high-speed wireless coverage to 100 percent of the campus.

“With the strategic funds, we are targeting the areas with broadest impact,” Miller said. “Academic buildings are priorities

for this.”

Buildings currendy considered highestpriority include Hudson Hall, Teer Library, the Old Chemistry Building and the Levine Science Research Center.

Although most buildings have some tween 5 and 9 percent ofLatino students.

Despite this concern, there was also good news, Spenner said.

“We don’t find a large number of students telling us that their professors are prejudiced,” Spenner said. “Duke students’ biggest complaint about classroom climate is the size of classes, but even that’s a modest-sized group. It’s not anywhere

The project’s findings confirmed the prevalence of self-segregation on campus, but also found that the characteristics of a student’s college “social network” very closely resemble a student’s high school social network, particularly in terms of ethnic and racial background.

“In as little as four months... people tend to replicate some of their high school social network,” Spenner said.

The report also cast light on how students use their time during their first two years; researchers concluded that time spent socializing with friends and partying exceeded time spent studying outside the classroom.

In its comparison of greek and nongreek life, the project reported that greek students, as compared to non-greeks, spend “significandy more time” socializing with friends and partying and found alcohol to be “more important” to students’ enjoyment of campus life.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, however, said this finding comes as no surprise.

“I think it’s nationally known that the greek communities have a bigger problem with alcohol use and abuse,” Moneta said.

Although the report found that overall students rated alcohol to be of only moderate importance to their social lives, it found that alcohol became more important in the second year. Additionally, students said alcohol was frequently at all types of social events, and this trend was fairly consistent across all demographics.

Spenner noted that, on a whole, the data mirrored similar studies completed on a national level of elite institutions—typically those considered “top-20” or “top-50” universities.

Administrators have said the report will be used at an administrative level in both formal and informal ways, although specific measures have not yet been drafted.

“We don’t have immediate interventions planned,” Moneta said. “We aren’t using this report as a quick fix.”

Spenner said the most immediate use of the report will be in the Campus Culture Initiative, which will take the information into consideration as it meets in upcoming months.

in the current system.

At Duke, any financial support a student receives is considered taxable income, “so it’s all directly taxable for the students who can probably least afford it,” Siegel said.

The Graduate School also intends to explore options in creating a graduate student center, improving career and professional development services specifically for graduate students and enhancing mentoring.

Other initiatives in the plan include establishing a written maternal or parental leave policy and expanding childcare options.

In academics, the strategic plan lists ideas for a number of new programs, including a certificate in Latino and Hispanic studies, and expansions of others, such as the M.D./Ph.D. program.

Programs in the biological sciences will potentially be placed into broader categories for admissions purposes in order to restrict applicants less.

“The idea is that you might have an admitting program in neuroscience rather than in neurobiology, in cognitive neuroscience and in psychology,” Siegel said. “The idea is to give them choice.”

The school will also attempt to foster increased graduate student activity in already-established interdisciplinary institutes —such as the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies and the Social Science Research Institute—that Siegel called “an inferno of intellectual ferment.”

The Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty and Dean-elect Jo Rae Wright endorsed the strategic plan once Siegel had drafted it.

“I support Dean Siegel’s agenda to recruit and retain the best graduate students and prepare them for the future,” Wright wrote in an e-mail. “These are also my top agenda items.”

Wright will take the helm July 1. She said she intends to spend the start of her term establishing relationships with the deans of the other schools, campus leaders and the Graduate and Professional Student council “to understand further their priorities.”

CHUCK KENNEDY/KRT

Sen.Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) speaksWednesday about a failed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

SENATE from page 2 ers insisted progress had been made because the debate over three days raised the issue’s profile and will force candidates to answer for their votes on the campaign trail.

“Eventually, Congress is going to have to catch up to the wisdom of the American people or the American people will change Congress for the better,” said Sen. David Vitter, R-La. “We’re not going to stop until marriage between a man and a woman is protected,” said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. Most bitter to the amendments’ authors was the loss of support in their own GOP caucus.

Two Republicans changed their votes from “yes” in 2004 to “no” this time: Judd Gregg of New Hampshire and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.

Chuck Hagel of Nebraska did not vote Wednesday because he was traveling with Bush.

All told, seven Republicans voted to kill the amendment. The five others were Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, Susan

Collins of Maine, John McCain of Arizona, Olympia Snowe of Maine and John Sununu ofNew Hampshire.

Gregg said that in 2004, he believed a Massachusetts Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in that state would undermine the authority of other states, like his, to prohibit such unions.

“Fortunately, such legal pandemonium has not ensued,” Gregg said. “The past two years have shown that federalism, not more federal laws, is a viable and preferable ap-

proach.”

A majority of Americans define marriage as a union of a man and a woman, as the proposed amendment does, according to a poll out this week by ABC News.

But an equal majority oppose amending the Constitution over the issue, the poll found.

The tally Wednesday put the ban 18 votes short of the 67 needed for the Senate to approve a constitutional amendment.

Supporters of the amendment acknowledged disappointment in the vote and, to some extent, Bush’s advocacy.

“He could have done more, but he doesn’t have a vote in this one,” Brownback said of the president.

DINING from page 1 A new philosophy on food This time around, Wulforst moved to correct other previous contract flaws as well.

“With the ARAMARK contract, they paid us a fee to be on campus; in this agreement, we are paying the Compass Group a management fee,” Wulforst said, noting that the fee will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Since the University is assuming the risk now, it will be up to Wulforst and his staff to ensure that students want to spend their dining money on campus. If a profit is made, the funds will go to the University rather than the vendor.

A byproduct of this change will be that the University will need to annually infuse the dining budget with between $1 and $2 million dollars of extra funding, Dawkins added. He declined to specify from what area the funds would come.

About the Compass Group, Dawkins explained that even though all of the potential vendors proposed to run the Duke dining business similarly, Compass brought a unique dedication to locally grown and produced food.

“What we’ve done is rethink and re-emphasize those things that are most important at Duke,” he said, adding “the proof will be in the pudding”—both literally and

metaphorically.

The pair of Compass Group companies— Bon Appetit and Chartwells—will bring their

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 2006 9

own specialties to East and West Campus.

“The two brands are very much competing for students’ business—there’s nothing superficial about it,” Wulforst emphasized.

“They’re two very different companies.”

The Marketplace’s cafeteria set-up will be well managed by Bon Appetit, he said.

“Bon Appetit has really strong merchandising—to the point where you really ate with your eyes when you smell the food,” Wulforst said. “You are just overwhelmed by the f00d.... The Bon Appetit folks are all about presenting food in bountiful ways.”

Bon Appetit will also have a presence in the Great Hall, Wulforst added. Chartwells will specialize in managing the retail brands on West, such as Subway and Chick-fil-A. He added that he does not anticipate changing those locations in the near future.

Changes to the freshman board plan The arrival of the Compass Group is not the only change students will see when they return to campus in August; the freshman dining experience on East will be different.

Although top administrators—including President Richard Brodhead and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask—previously told The Chronicle that changes in the freshman meal plan ought to include increased choice, the incoming Class of 2010 has the same 12-meal-per-week requirement as in past years.

There is also no new off-campus dining component of the plan—an idea that some have suggested could improve Duke’s rela-

tionship with the Durham community while providing students with more locations to use their food points.

Instead, Wulforst said the administration focused on how to improve quality and choice at the Marketplace itself.

Dinner hours will be extended to 9 p.m., and will be served seven days a week as opposed to the existing Sunday-throughThursday schedule. On West, the Great Hall will be open for Sunday brunch.

In addition, lunch equivalency—in which freshmen apply the cost of their missed breakfast to lunch at the Marketplace—will be worth five dollars next semester instead of four.

Wulforst said he was disappointed that he was not able to extend equivalency to West—where most students are during the school day, he admitted—but he promised that'it is on the table for the future.

“There were some cost considerations,” Dawkins said. “We’re going to evaluate how this plan works in the fall.”

Although student opinion has called for a reduced freshman meal plan, the issue is more about food quality than anything else, Wulforst explained.

“What it really came down to was just ‘the food sucks,’” he said. “I think if we had Bon Appetit [at the Marketplace] five years ago, students would want it open for all 21 meals a week.”

Wulforst also announced that the longempty Upper West Side of the Marketplace will be a “culinary test kitchen” in the fall for the Compass Group.

facelift. With the creation of the psychology and neuroscience major, the development of a Center of Neuroeconomics and the addition of FOCUS and cluster programs centered around the mind and brain, the University hopes to strengthen its focus on this rapidly growing field of study and attract expert faculty.

The University also intends to build on the Global Health Initiative by establishing a Global Health lecture series, certificate and FOCUS program to allow for a fuller understanding of global health and its implications. The programs will allow students to become further involved in research and give them more opportunities to work abroad.

“We have a number of students who are interested not only in health professions in the sense of physicians, but they might be interested in health policy or inequalities across the globe,” McLendon said. “Providing experiences where you can actually be involved hands-on with some of these questions, I think will be exciting to a lot of students.”

In addition to expanding its academic facilities, Arts and Sciences hopes to foster a greater ethical responsibility and creative scholarship among its students.

By developing programming centered around ethical issues, promoting joint faculty hiring and strengthening the ethical inquiry course offerings in the undergraduate curriculum, the University hopes to offer a perspective that will inspire students to “experience what it takes to

make meaningful commitments to people, places and principles,” the draft stated.

Arts and Sciences officials hope to emphasize faculty hiring by implementing cross-departmental and crossschool hiring strategies.

This strategy—along with joint or “cluster” hiring—will allow the University to recruit from among the highest echelon of faculty and to establish more interdisciplinary learning opportunities.

“I don’t want departments saying we can’t get this person,” Provost Peter Lange said at the May 11 Academic Council meeting. “I want them to go for the best, and we will help them do that.”

Pratt’s draft of its strategic plan lists a commitment to ideas and people to benefit the school and the University. “[We are] making sure we have the resources we need and making sure we have the infrastructure, the classes, the classroom technology and the research technology we need to move forward,” said Deborah Hill, director of communications for Pratt.

The school intends to launch a new initiative in environmental engineering that will affect both research and educational programs. Pratt officials also hope to build on what was accomplished in the previous plan, including faculty development and interdisciplinarity.

“Like all the other schools, we are really particularly interested in new cross-disciplinary partnerships, specifically with the Nicholas School [of the Environment and Earth Sciences] and the Medical Center,” Hill said.

crimebriefs Masturbating man arrested in Lilly Library .Around 6 p.m., June 1, a student studying in a reading room of Lilly Library observed a man watching him from behind a bookcase. After the man continued to look at him for an extended period of time, the student left the room to check his e-mail.

When the student returned to the reading room, the man quickly reappeared.

When the student turned around to confront the intruder, he realized that the man’s pants were unzipped and he was pleasuring himself.

“The guy wasn’t phased at all, he’s got this crazed expression on his face just going at it,” the student said. “I’m so terrified at this point."

The student reported the incident to a librarian, who then called the police.

Police apprehended the intruder —reportedly a local high school student—as he left the library. The library masturbator was charged with indecent exposure and

trespassing.

Patient slapped by ex-girlfriend in hospital Following a verbal altercation, a patient reported last Saturday that he was slapped by his ex-girlfriend.

Later, police arrested the woman and charged her with simple assault after she admitted to slapping the victim. She received a $l,OOO secured bond.

Although police searched the area, the suspect was not found.

Backpack with medicine stolen

On the ninth floor of the Duke Hospital, an employee reported Monday that his backpack went missing shortly after noon.

The victim said he left his backpack near the elevators for approximately 10 minutes.

The contents of the bag included diabetes medicine, a blood sugar tester, a green jacket and prescription glasses.

Sleeping sex offender cited for trespassing Duke security officers found a man sleeping in the hospital around 4:50 a.m.

Wednesday. The officers soon discovered that the man was previously banned from campus and was also a registered sex offender. Police cited the man with seconddegree trespassing and transported him off campus.

Tools stolen from employee’s pouch An employee reported that he left tools in a pouch on a work cart on the third floor of the Duke Eye Center and last saw them March 3.

The employee reported discovering the tools’ disappearance Monday around 7:30 a.m. Missing items include a wrench, two pairs of pliers, a small flashlight, a screwdriver and a leather tool holder.

Employee reports harassment A Duke employee reported Monday to police that she had received several harassing phone calls and e-mails from an acquaintance. No arrests have been made.

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Kevin Cassese opened his stint as interim head coach of the men’s lacrosse team in bold fashion Tuesday, emphatically saying “Duke lacrosse is back.”

The declaration earned cheers from a group of coaches—including men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski, football head coach Ted Roof and women’s lacrosse head coach Kerstin Kimel—athletics department administrators and players who had gathered to watch Cassese’s press conference.

But even while Cassese’s assumption of the helm of the embattled program signals a turning point after months of uncertainty, some aspects of the team’s future are still somewhat unclear.

When President Richard Brodhead cancelled the remainder of the team’s season and accepted former head coach Mike Pressler’s resignation April 5, all team activities—including practice for the players and scheduling and recruiting for the coaches—were suspended. All of the recruits for the incoming freshman class were released from their national letters of intent, and three have since committed elsewhere.

Cassese said he was planning on beginning to recruit immediately, both for the incoming freshmen and the class of current high school juniors. Meanwhile, Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said the search for a permanent head coach had already begun.

But all year, through both the fall and spring seasons, the team never put toS et^er the whole package.

Three good scores would be accompanied by two mediocre rounds, and the team would fall out ofcontention.

This past weekend at the NCAA Championships in Sunriver, Ore., the trend ofinconsistency continued. After surging back into contention with the best third-round score in thefield and climbing as high as fifth place in

“It seems like we could have done a lot better,” Myers said. “That’s the frustrating part. We were as low as fifth place at one point—make another birdie or two and we get into the trophy lineup of the top four.”

Senior Ryan Blaum, Duke’s All-American from last season, paced Duke in his final collegiate tournament, finishing the four rounds at 2-under par and in a 10thplace tie.

Duke heads to Germany to take in World Cup by

John Taddei

THE CHRONICLE

John Rennie has wanted to take one of his teams to the World Cup for years. For the first time in ins career, he finally has been given the opportunity and the means to do it.

The Blue Devils traveled to Germany Monday and will spend 10 days in Germany and Austria playing a combined three games in the two countries and watching the United States’ first World Cup contest.

The NCAA allows teams to take one offseason overseas trip every four years, but Rennie had never before taken advantage of the allowance.

Now Rennie’s dream is coming to fruition after two years of careful planning—including using connections to land World Cup tickets—and on the auspices of financial contributions from former players.

“I was looking for two things,” Rennie said. “One was soccer playing experience, which we’re going to get in the first part of the trip. Then I wanted it to be more than a soccer trip, and what’s better than the World Cup?” Duke will fulfill the first portion of Rennie’s vision for the trip with one contest against a German amateur team, TSV-1860 Rosenheim, and two matches against Russian Premier League teams FC Luch-Energia Vladivostok and FC Dynamo Moscow.

Rennie expects the Blue Devils will have their hands full during all three contests, as they will be going up against European teams that feature players with a great deal more experience than the young Duke squad.

Regardless of the outcome of the contests, captain Chris Loftus understands the invaluable opportunity inherent in playing against professional European players.

“We’re going to see a level that some of the highest teams in Europe play at,” Loftus said. “They’re going to be at a level far beyond us, but as a team we will look to see how they organize themselves, how they play the game, how a pro athlete plays over there. We see MLS teams over

Loftus, one of the Blue Devils’ most talented and experienced players, said it has always been a dream ofhis to one day play soccer in Europe—something that is “easily [his] top goal.”

Loftus said that he hopes to in part use the experience afforded him by playing against European teams as an opportunity to gauge his own talent against the European players, judging what it takes to play on the other side of the pond.

“A lot of time they look at us Americans as you’re not very good and that soccer is not very good over here,” Loftus said. “I’m looking to see how these guys handle themselves, what talent level you need to attain to play in Europe.”

After the games are over, the real fun will begin for the Blue Devils, who cap off their trip with a visit to Gelsenkirchen, Ger-

“The World Cup is unlike any other sporting event in the world,” junior goalkeeper Justin Papadakis said. “It captivates the world’s attention.”

Papadakis said he expects the memories and experiences gained from witnessing such a spectacle first-hand will do a great deal to bring the team together.

Both Rennie and Loftus echoed Papadakis in their belief that the trip will prove a powerful bonding experience for the team and provide valuable elements that .will help Duke as it prepares for the upcoming season in the fall.

“You can’t help but bond with the team and the coaches, I think that’s our main goal,” Papadakis said. “Hopefully our bonding experience will help us be better on the field in the fall.”

replay policy by

Tim Britton

THE CHRONICLE

One season after allowing conferences to decide individually whether to adopt instantreplay, the NCAAFootball Rules Committee has implemented a universal review system.

Starting this fall, coaches across the country will have the power to challenge one call per game, provided they have a timeout. The team keeps the timeout if the call is overturned but loses it if the field ruling is upheld.

Instant replay has been used in NCAA football games for the last two seasons on an experimental basis. In 2004, the Big Ten became the first conference to try a replay system. One year later, nine of the 11 Division TA conferences used some form of instant replay.

In 2005, the ACC, copying the Big Ten model, employed booth officials to determine whether or not a play should be reviewed and then to pass on the ultimate ruling to officials on the field.

John Cochrane, commissioner ofthe lowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and head of the panel that approved the changes, stressed the need for a universal system.

“The intent of the Rules Committee was to write a consistent replay system into the playing rules,” Cochrane said. “It wasn’t a question of being discontented with what was being done across the country last year. It was just an effort to consolidate and establish some consistency.”

The previous replay system was criticized for its inconsistencies. When teams from different conferences met, the road team was given the right to decide which replay system was to be used. Consequendy, when Pac-10 member USC visited independent Notre Dame, the Trojans decided to play the game without replay.

By regulating it at the NCAA level, the revamped system will also try to solve an issue raised during last season’s Rose Bowl between USC and Texas, when a controversial Longhorn touchdown was not reviewed because the television monitor in the replay booth malfunctioned.

Duke head coach Ted Roof said he was excited about the more consolidated replay system and increased power given to the head coach.

“I’m all for it,” Roof said. “Replay can enhance our game. From an officiating standpoint, a coach’s standpoint, a fan’s standpoint—everybody wants to get it right.”

Roof echoed the sentiments of some other college coaches when he wondered if a single challenge per game would be sufficient. Roof said he would prefer to be able to challenge one play per half, but he did acknowledge that replay was used about twice every three games last year for the Blue Devils.

“I think [one challenge per game] is- a good compromise,” Cochrane said.

Roof said he and his staff had yet to discuss how they would decide whether to review a play.

“It’ll be a staff thing, but it will also be a gut thing based on what I see on the field,” Roof said.

After working out for Seattle last Wednesday, I flew back to L.A. and stayed there for a few days.

I had the chance Thursday to go to the “Entourage” season premiere in Hollywood. It was pretty cool, I got to see the first two episodes of the season and I went to the after-party after the premiere and chilled with some cool people.

Besides that, though, when I’ve been in L.A. I’ve been focusing on my basketball. I’ve probablv left the places I’ve maybe four times, when I have been able to get away, I’ve gotten the chance because I know people and my agent knows people to do some pretty cool stuff like all the things with “Er tourage.” But my mam focus right now is on basketball and not living up the L.A. lifestyle.

After working out last Friday morning, I flew to Houston and I worked out for them Saturday. I thought it went pretty well. We had a pretty intensive interview beforehand just like all the other places. Houston was a little more intense than some of the other places, and during the workout their coaches were very constructive. They gave me constructive criticism on everything. Jeff Van Gundy wasn’t there but it was all the assistants.

I got back to Durham late Saturday night and I’ve been here since then. I actually missed my flight out of Houston, but I got back here and I got to hang out by the pool Sunday and take it easy Monday too.

Originally when I scheduled this week to come back to Duke I wanted to have a chiller week because I had felt like I had gone through the first part of my NBA workouts and I wanted to relax a little bit, work out and stay in shape. It’s been busier than I thought, though. A lot of stuff got scheduled and I’m trying to fit things in.

I had a memorabilia signing Tuesday and Thursday and Men’s Fitness is following me around all day to my workouts and all my meals.

While I’m here, I’m also going to try and spend some time with my sisters, who live in Raleigh. I’m very close with them and I haven’t gotten a chance to see them in a while. I saw them at graduation and only once in the last month. Every time I’m here I just try to catch up with people.

The people from Xbox Live were originally supposed come to my place today to video me playing Halo oneon-one with Adam Morrison, but we had to postpone that until closer to the draft. He’s been working out in L.A. and I’ve seen him twice. He had gotten a new number and I didn’t have it for the first week before graduation. But I was at this clothing place in the Valley getting a suit fitted for the draft and we ran into each other and exchanged numbers. That weekend we went to the Ultimate Fighting Championships together and that was a lot offun.

So far with the teams I’ve worked out for I’ve gotten good feedback.

I’ve had the chance to sit down with some of the teams after the workouts. After each one, either Arn Tellem or Bob Myers, my other agent, has talked with the GM or the VP of basketball operations and gotten feedback. It’s all been ! positive. But it’s still really early and teams haven’t seen everyone yet so it’s hard for them want to pick this i say, “Iteams The I’ve worked for have liked me and I I’ll be in the mix at all ;e spots. iryone wants a promise <re the draft and I’d e to get one from sememe but a lot of teams don’t really do that, especially this early.

M.LAX from page 1 head coach while Alieva begins a national search for a permanent head coach. Cassese, who returned to Duke last summer as an assistant coach, was introduced at a press conference Tuesday.

“Duke is in my veins,” Cassese said. “I have full confidence that I will be able to lead the program in the future.”

Several members of the lacrosse team attended Cassese’s press conference, cheering loudly when he was introduced.

“It’s kind of a bittersweet thing,” said Casey Carroll, a senior defenseman on the team. “We’re all ecstatic on one end that we get to represent our school again, but in the back of our minds it’ll always be [former head] coach [Mike] Pressler having to leave and what’s happened with Collin, Reade and Dave.”

Carroll said Cassese, despite his age, has the complete respect of the team and he and his teammates were eager to move forward. Alieva said Cassese would be considered for the head coach position but Pressler would not be.

Brodhead and Alieva emphasized that Pressler had served the program well both on and off the field. The Coleman Committee, which Brodhead charged April 5 to investigate the culture of the men’s lacrosse team, did conclude, however, that there was a pattern of misbehavior within the program, much of which was said to have been caused by alcohol abuse. The report found that Pressler had taken steps to clean up the team’s behavior prior to the March 13 incident.

A new head coach will provide symbolic meaning for the Blue Devils going forward, Brodhead said. “We’re not going to go back to the old program,” Brodhead said.

“If and when we restarted lacrosse, I always said, we’re going to start a new history. And it’s justreally for the point of making a new start that we will need a new coach.”

Although several media organizations began to report the program’s return Fri-

TIAN, QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

Director of Athletics Joe Alieva (right) said he would consider Kevin Cassese (left) for the permanent job.

day afternoon, Brodhead said he did not make his final decision until Saturday.

Brodhead met with the entire team in early May and told the players they needed to make a commitment to higher standards of off-the-field conduct.

Members of the team drafted a mission statement for the program as well as a “team standard” for conduct.

“I do recognize that, as stated in the Coleman report, there have been behavioral issues involving team members in the past and these issues cannot continue,” Cassese said. “I intend to hold all team members accountable to the set of team standards they have presented.”

Brodhead also announced Monday that he will assume “day-by-day oversight” of the athletic department, which previously had reported through Executive Vice President Tallman Trask.

In addition, Alieva or a senior athletic department official will be included in the Provost’s Undergraduate Leadership Group and changes will be made to the Athletic Council.

“Oversight of athletics is done very differently at universities,” Brodhead said.

“Athletics cuts across every dimension of the University.... Rather than having one of the officers have responsibility, I will take responsibility for overseeing the wholeness of athletics, and then I’ll be in a position to make sure athletics interfaces with all of the operations relevant to it.”

Several of the problems outlined by the committees —including communications issues between the Duke University Police Department, the Office of Student Affairs and athletics —are being streamlined, Brodhead said. The new system’s aim is to provide a new level of accountability across different parts of the University.

Brodhead’s fifth committee, the Presidential Council, will be headed by Roy Bostock, Duke ’62, and Wilhelmina ReubenCooke, Women’s College ’67, and will advise the president and the Board of Trustees as it reviews Duke’s responses to the issues raised by the lacrosse incident.

Brodhead joked that it seemed as if he had received the advice of “everyone in and we’re delighted the team is returning.”

Besides Danowski, the list of potential candidates for the position could include Cornell head coach Jeff Tambroni, St. John’s head coach Rick Sowell and Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan as well as the top assistants at Virginia, Navy and Princeton, said John Jiloty, editor-in-chief of Inside Lacrosse.

“It will be interesting to see who they hire because it’ll be a tough time the next two years getting things on track,” Jiloty said.

Duke was 6-2 and had been ranked has high as No. 2 in the polls before the 2006 season was cancelled April 5.

FUTURE from page

11

“I really believe that this job is one of the top five lacrosse jobs in the country,” Alieva said. “I believe coaches in the lacrosse profession realize that and will be willing to accept the challenges at Duke University and what it faces in the future.”

The coaching search Alieva said he would begin the search after Monday’s press conference, in which Brodhead announced the program’s reinstatement. By Tuesday morning, at Cassese’s introduction, Alieva said some candidates for die job had begun to express interest. Though Alieva would not comment on who the candidates might be, he did say that Cassese will be considered for the position and Pressler will not be.

“My guess is they’ll go for someone a little older and more experienced, someone who can weather the storm,” said Virginia head coach Dom Starsia, whose Cavaliers went undefeated in winning the 2006 National Championship. “I’m just really pleased Duke has reinstated the program.

It’s a great move for the sport and for college athletics.”

Some of the early speculation for the Blue Devils’ next head coach has focused on Hofstra’s John Danowski. Danowski’s son, Matt, will be one of Duke’s senior leaders next season. Both John Danowski and Alieva said, however, it would be too early to comment on such rumors.

“It’s wonderful news for our sport,” Danowski said of the team’s return. “There are only 57 NCAA programs, and Duke is such a high-profile one at a prestigious university. We were saddened by the events,

Recruiting and the team’s future The challenge of recruiting will be a difficult one for Cassese, who will be running a “one-man show,” as he described it, until a new head coach is hired or he is given the position. Cassese, who plays for the Rochester Rattlers of Major League Lacrosse, said he intends to complete his season as well as play for the U.S. National Team this summer. He said scheduling for next season is well under way and he will begin work on recruiting immediately.

Out of next year’s incoming class, three of the nine recruits have already signed on to play at other schools. Ken Clausen, Tom Dodge and Scott Kocis will play at Virginia, Pennsylvania and Georgetown, respectively. All were top-level recruits.

Starsia said he never intended to pillage Duke’s program, and he initially hesitated in accepting Clausen—arguably the nation’s top prep player—but the uncertainty surrounding the future of Duke’s program caused him to reconsider, though he still held some reservations.

“Any short-term benefit for Virginia in recruiting was going to be offset by Duke’s program being diminished,” Starsia said.

CODE OF CONDUCT

All student-athletes must adhere to Duke, ACC and NCAA rules and regulations Gambling is prohibited Conduct that constitutes harassment on the basis of gender, race, or sexual orientation is prohibited Under the laws of North Carolina, no athlete under the age of 21 may purchase, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages Student-athletes are required to notify the head coach and athletic director of any violation of the code of conduct within 24 hours Minimum Penalties: Ist offense: Warning, counseling 2nd offense: 3-game suspension 3rd offense: Season suspension America” on the future of the men’slacrosse team, and he also acknowledged that some faculty members had questioned the role of Division I athletics at Duke. Flanked by two members of the Board of Trustees, Brodhead re-affirmed Duke’s commitment to success in both athletics and academics, better reconciling the values ofeach.

“Duke has great traditions of athletic excellence and I am eager to continue those traditions,” Brodhead said. “But as this University has long recognized, we must pursue these athletic goals within the context of larger education values and not as ends in themselves.”

“But all of [the recruits] had the right to consider their future and we didn’thave an infinite application deadline.”

Several recruits have reaffirmed their desire to wear Duke blue, however, including Max Quinzani, who broke the national high school lacrosse scoring record Sunday. Quinzani said Saturday that he intended to be a Blue Devil next year and he had been in contact with fellow recruits Parker McKee and Terrence Molinari.

“He looks forward to meeting with Kevin Cassese shortly, at which point they hope to finalize his attendance at Duke,” said Quinzani’s father, Rob-Roy. “We’re very happy and certainly relieved. It’s been a long process for us.”

Next year’s class will likely be smaller than usual and depth could be an issue for the program over the next couple seasons. While the program was suspended, Duke also missed out on an active recruiting period for current high school juniors, which Jiloty said could hurt the program down the road.

A significant portion of the Blue Devils’ core—which led the team to the 2005 National Championship game and had it as a title contender again in 2006—will return for the 2007 campaign. No players on Duke’s roster have transferred from the program in light of the uncertainty, Alieva said.

Though Duke lost stars Matt Zash, Dan Flannery and Kyle Dowd to graduation this year, it returns standouts in Danowski, Tony McDevitt and Zach Greer. Danowski and Greer were Tewaarton Trophy nominees in 2005. Jiloty, Starsia and John Danowski agreed that the Blue Devils are in position to return to top form next season.

“They’re going to be extremely competitive,” Danowski said.

Freshman Clark Klaasen is one offour of Duke's starters that will return to the Blue Devils' roster for the 2006-07 season.

M.GOLF from page 11 a 3-under-par 69 on day three, could have been even better, his coach said.

“Ryan was very close to having a special day,” Myers said. “He really hit the ball extremely well. He had a number of good looks at birdie putts, but he didn’t quite make enough of them Myers said it was unfortunate that Blaum’s illustrious career could not have ended on a higher note. In his four years at Duke, Blaum was twice named ACC Player of the Year. He led Duke to three NCAA tournaments but finished no better than this year’s 10th individually.

In U.S. Open sectional qualifying Tuesday, Blaum finished in a three-way tie for his section’s final bid. He lost in the playoff, and he will be the second alternate from his site into the field at Winged Foot next weekend.

“He’s the best player I’ve coached since I’ve been at Duke, and I don’t think No. 2 is even close,” Myers said.

“It’s going be hard to fill his shoes. He was there every day, every round, with enthusiasm and leadership all the time. We’re not going to fill his spot.”

Even though the team did not meet its own expectations for the NCAAs, Blaum’s leadership skills were on display in the third round, After starting the third day of the tournament tied for 18th place, the Blue Devils knew they needed a low score to finish in the top 15 and make the cut for the final day.

Led by Blaum’s 69, Duke recorded a score of4-under par, equaling the lowest team round of the day.

Junior Jake Grodzinsky, who had been ranked as high as ninth nationally this season and who finished ninth at a tournament on the same course this past fall, could not regain his dominant ways this week. He was even-par after the first 12 holes of round one, but two double bogeys in three holes dropped him four strokes.

Grodzinsky finished the day with a 3-over 75. He notched two rounds of one over and one at 2-under par on the final three days to finish the tournament at three over in a tie for 39th place.

Freshman Clark Klaasen, who only recently entered the lineup on a permanent basis, also finished in 39th place, but Myers was impressed with his performance.

“One of the bright sides is that we got a really solid tournament from Clark,” Myers said. “As a freshman, he really brought his game to another level. I really liked the way he carried himselfand his attitude. We have great expectations for him the next three years.”

Duke’s other two players, sophomores Michael Schachner and Michael Quagliano, struggled throughout the tournament, finishing in 73rd and 77th place, respectively. Quagliano’s opening two holes of the first round a double bogey and a triple bogey—set the tone for his weekend, as he finished the opening round with a 10over-par 82. His final-round 73 was his only mark better than 5-over par.

Schachner fared better over his first 69 holes, but his final three holes included a double bogey and a quadruple bogey, which dropped him to seven over on the day and 12 over for the tournament.

Oklahoma State, led by NCAA individual champion Jonathan Moore, won the championship by three strokes over Florida. ”

entire team). But the bottom line is that guidelines and punishments are only as effective as their enforcement, and the mandate to be aware of one’s actions and refrain from all alcohol until the age of 21 seems neither feasible nor fair.

The parameters under which the team was reinstated does not yet fit the magnitude of the issues raised over the past two months.

And it might, with time.

The University took a step in the right direction Monday, but we hope that as the Campus Culture Initiative progresses, the schools tackles in concrete terms the issues that are at the heart of the lacrosse scandal.

Otherwise, we’ll just return to the same old, same old.

On

April 5, in the face ofal-

legations arising from a party held by the men’s lacrosse team, I wrote to oudine steps the university would take in response to this complex situation.At term’s end, I am eager to update you on what we have done and to announce further steps going forward....

After weeks of absorption in a story that often made Duke seem synonymous with bad student behavior, Commencement weekend was deeply refreshing.

It gave a powerful reminder of the human promise we are privileged to work with and of the growth students get by attending this great school.

It’s important to keep this larger picture in mind as we try to put the men’s lacrosse story in perspective. But it is essential that we take that episode seriously as well. Only by facing up to the challenges of this situation will we get the good of these difficult times.

Since I wrote last, three members of the men’s lacrosse team have been indicted on felony charges arising from the March 13 party. The students proclaim their innocence on all the counts. As you probably know, initial reports circulated through the media advanced the case against the students; more recent reports have made the case in their favor. But none of us has direct access to the criminal investigation, and until the full evidence is presented, none of us can know with certainty what did or did not happen.

As I have said, it’s essential that we allow the criminal justice system to run its course, and that we wait for the truth to be established before we reach final judgment. In the meanwhile, we need to remember that the American legal system is based on the principle of the presumption of innocence.

When he handed down his third indictment on May 15, District Attorney Nifong stated that no

position on issues of broad con-

other students were under investigation; with the cloud of suspicion lifted from other members of the team, the legal case has taken on finite boundaries. Now we must wait for the legal process to do its work.

In the past month, I have received reports from three of the committees I announced on April 5.

These include an inquiry into the adequacy of Duke’s

cern in American education.

If we make this a place where students will leam as much at the level of character and ethical reflection as they do of academic intelligence —if we make this the kind of place where all students will grow in their ability to act thoughtfully and responsibly and to treat one another with dignity and respect—we’ll have made Duke a betdisciplinary proceter 5ch001.... dures, especially as Let me also mmmi they relate to off-camsay a word, about pus behavior; an inthe players. quiry into the prior These students history of behavior of lived have the men’s lacrosse exan through and an assessj team; p K/ jl ment of the response ■tlCnalU DrOQllcaO traordinarily to this event by the painful situation The President's Take for the last eight weeks.

Under standing Incongruities TRANG,

Thailand—Thailand is a puzzle. A very

complicated puzzle. Everything fits together perfectly; every sight, sound and smell. Yet if you were to pull apart the puzzle and try to put it back together, it would seem nearly impossible to make all of the pieces fit because separated, the aspects oflife in southern Thailand seem incongruous.

Case in point: During a long, hot van ride to the coast, I was staring idly out the window when I spotted a Buddhist monk chatting away on a cell phone. I couldn’t help seyward but laugh. It was the the word new, digital age meets the old world on a dusty roadside.

Other examples of incongruities that dwell side by side are plentiful.

A small family restaurant that is nothing more than a tin roof held up by rickety boards comes equipped with a large, flat-screen Samsung. Young children living in hovels in the Trang countryside wear Guess Tshirts. A massive' new supermart (think K-Mart or Target) sits amid tiny, open-air markets, boasting a large shrine to the king in front of its shiny sliding doors.

Spiffy new motorcycles zoom down streets lined with garbage. Unassuming stores in town sell you green curry and noodles with a side dish of hi-tech cameras.

And every store, whether it sells pad Thai, clothing, mopeds or Buddhist shrines, is likely to offer CocaCola and every flavor of Fanta.

It’s what Thomas Friedman has been wridng about for years, the phenomenon of globalization in rapidly burgeoning countries. But seeing it up close is much different than reading about it on the pages of a book.

It’s like watching the collision of worlds and eras.

More than East meets West, it’s old meets cutting edge and poverty meets privilege.

Even in the schools, opposing worlds knock together.

I started work Tuesday at a school of about 300 children, ages ranging from five to about 16 or so. When my teaching partner and I arrived for work, the children peeked around doorframes, giggling if we waved or said “Sawatdee ka” (hello).

In class, the littlest ones would grab my hand as I walked past their desks, or reach for my curly hair.

They begged for hugs, looked up my skirt and touched my skin. I was a rarity. Many of them had never even seen a foreigner.

But in this world of concrete floors, scratched chalkboards and tilted old wooden desks, where the West and its sheen of newness seem so out of place, people are desperate to learn English.

The children yelp out answers if they know them, identify colors with glee and take to “Simon 'Says” in a snap. The teachers, sometimes more so than the students, are eager to learn a few phrases or words during lunch hour, over sweet pea soup and three types ofcurry.

They are also very proud of their Internet access, which connects them with the rest of the world, even if the dialup comes and goes as fast as the breeze.

I will be in this world for two months, and I already know that it will change me. In fact, it already has. Suddenly the cares of my world are far away. Lacrosse rape scandals, exams and class schedules are gone, resting somewhere in the back ofmy mind. Now on the table are the concerns of a chaotic city, a culture of mismatches.

Looking out the window of my house at night, I can see leaf fires smoldering on the grounds of the papaya orchard. The smoke is meant to keep mosquitoes away.

At the same time, my housemate reaches for a DVD to thrust into the TV, purchased, no doubt, at the electronics store down the road where cows mill around the parking lot.

How can it all fit together?

Thailand is indeed a puzzle. I intend to spend my summer trying to understand what makes each piece of that puzzle stick.
