Katherine Macllwaine THE CHRONICLE

Members of the Duke community celebrated the University’s traditional values and ongoing initiatives at the Founders’ Day Convocation in the Duke Chapel Thursday.

President Richard Brodhead, who presided over the ceremony, called the services an opportunity to recognize the University’s past, present and future.

Board of Trustees member Paula Burger, Women’s College ’67 and Graduate School ’74, delivered the convocation address. She spoke about her personal experience as a Duke student, alumna, administrator and parent and focused on two themes for the direction of the University—“upward mobility” and “upward nobility.”

In her description of upward mobility, Burger—a former vice provost for academic affairs and international programs—praised the University’s Financial Aid Initiative for extending academic opportunities to a diverse pool of students.

“I am proud of Duke for making such a bold commitment,” she told the audience of students, alumni and faculty. “It is probably the single most important thing we can do.”

Discrediting recent media portrayal of Duke as an institution of privilege, Burger highlighted the University’s attempts to foster relations with the Durham community and said the school’s ambitions for upward nobility include building strong character, fostering civility and values and maintaining lofty ambitions.

“These are students and faculty exhibiting a nobility of spirit and a sense of purpose,” she said, adding that the Chapel serves as a tangible reminder to keep sights high.

After Burger’s address, administrators recognized students, faculty and alumni exemplifying the core values es-

When Oktoberfest hits Main West today, students can expect to find funnel cakes, eclectic vendors and musical performances—but they won’t find beer on points.

Though beer has been present at Duke’s version ofOktoberfest in the past, it will not be found this year due in part to a miscommunication between Duke Dining Services and the Duke University Union, which sponsors the event Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said he usually receives 30 days notice for events involving beer to allow time to hire an independent vendor. He said he did not learn of the Union’s intendon to sene beer on points at Oktoberfest until he saw an advertisement promoting beer in The Chronicle last Wednesday.

“It’s not something that can be done overnight or in a couple of days,” he said.

“If I had been given the courtesy’ of a call in a timely fashion, we would’ve had a different outcome.”

Rumsfeld refutes U.S. Intel

Senate approves interrogation bill by

Anne Plummer Flaherty THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Senate enWASHINGTON dorsed President George W. Bush’s plans to prosecute and interrogate terror suspects Thursday, all but sealing congressional approval for legislation that Republicans intend to use on the campaign trail to assert their toughness on terrorism.

The 65-34 vote means the bill could reach the president’s desk by week’s end.

The House passed nearly identical legislation on Wednesday and was expected to approve the Senate bill on Friday, sending it on to the White House.

The bill would create military commis-

sions to prosecute terrorism suspects. It also would prohibit some of the worst abuses of detainees like mutilation and rape, but grant the president leeway to decide which other interrogation techniques are

permissible.

The White House and its supporters have called the measure crucial in the antiterror fight, but some Democrats said it left the door open to abuse, violating the U.S. Constitution in the name of protecting Americans.

Twelve Democrats sided with 53 Republicans in voting for the bill. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.L, in a tough re-election fight, joined 32 Democrats and the chamber’s

lone independent in opposing the bill.

Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, was absent.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who helped draft the legislation during negotiations with the White House, said the measure would set up a system for treating detainees that the nation could be proud of. He said the goal “is to render justice to the terrorists, even though they will not render justice to us.”

Democrats said the Republicans’ rush to muscle the measure through Congress was aimed at giving them something to tout during the campaign, in which control of the House and Senate are at stake.

Election Day is Nov. 7.

NATO expands role in Afghanistan by

Louta Baldor

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTOROZ, Slovenia A plan apto extend NATO’s military control across all ofAfghanistan would put as many as 12,000 American troops under foreign battlefield command, a number that United States officials said could be the most since World War 11.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld hailed the change as a “bold step forward.”

The move is expected to take place in the next few weeks, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said.

The largest number of U.S. troops ever

proved Thursday

under the control of foreign battlefield commanders was about 300,000 during World War I, said military officials traveling with Rumsfeld to the NATO meeting.

It was not clear how many troops were under foreign command during World War 11. A U.S. officer, Gen. James L. Jones, is in charge of the overall NATO force, but the new arrangement would put the U.S. troops under foreign commanders on the battlefield.

The ministers also agreed to provide substantial amounts of military equipment for the Afghan army.

“There were in rough numbers thou-

sands of weapons offered up, and I believe probably millions of rounds of ammunition,” Rumsfeld told reporters.

Rumsfeld said at a press conference that some countries had stepped forward in response to appeals from NATO commanders for as many as 2,500 more troops to join the operation against the Taliban in the south. But he said more were still needed.

He declined to say which countries had made offers.

NATO-led troops took command of the southern portion of Afghanistan just two months ago and have been struggling to stem the escalating violence there.

It is impossible to know with any precision whether the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have created more terrorists than they've killed, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Thursday.

TO's suicide case dismissed Dallas police have classified Terrell Owens' case as an "accidental overdose," not an attempted suicide, closing their investigation Thursday of the Cowboys receiver's hospitalization.

and sexually assaulted at least some of them, authorities and witnesses said Thursday. Sheriff Fred Wegener said the assaults went beyond touching or fondling.

THE CHRONICLE

Senior Damjan DeNoble wants to eliminate global poverty, starting with a single village in Africa.

DeNoble, head ofDuke’s Millennium Villages Project, is working with students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Bennett College—a historically black women’s college in Greensboro, N.C.—to raise enough money to fund a “Millennium village” in Africa.

Based on the “Millennium Development Goals” outlined by Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs in his book “End of Poverty,” the Millennium Villages Project attacks poverty on a number of fronts “by investing in health, food production, education, access to clean water, and essential infrastructure,” according to millenniumpromise.org, the international project’s website.

“The goal is to make the villages [economically and environmentally] sustainable and give villagers the skills to carry on the project after the experts have left,” DeNoble said.

Between Duke, UNC and Bennett, students hope to raise $750,000 to match an anonymous summertime donation of the same amount. And they’re well on there way to the goal. “We’ve already raised $500,000 in private donations,” DeNoble said.

Byjune, the group hopes to have raised the remainder of the money necessary to fund one of the 78 African villages already chosen by Columbia’s Earth Institute.

UNC driver to plead not guilty to charges by

Chelsea Goldstein THE CHRONICLE

Mohammed Taheri-azar, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate charged with attempting to run over students last spring, said at a pretrial hearing last week that he will plead not guilty and accept a public defense attorney to represent him.

Immediately after the March 3 incident, Taheri-azar said he ran a rented Jeep Grand Cherokee through the Pit on UNC’s campus to avenge the deaths of Muslims all over the world.

He told reporters and the judge at a pretrial hearing in June that he planned to plead guilty. But James Williams, Taheri-azar’s attorney, said that his client has come to a different conclusion.

“Today he is in a better position to relate to circumstances in a more rational way than he was a few months ago,” Williams said, citing the recent report of a psychologist that evaluated Taheri-azar as competent.

The defendant is charged with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder, four counts ofassault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to inflict serious injury.

This psychologist’s report, however, might not preclude the defense from using a mental-health argument in the arraignment, which begins Dec. 12.

Officially, there has not been a formal motion filed asking the court to SEE TAHERI-AZAR ON PAGE 6

Despite several last minute changes, 739 freshmen flocked to the Marketplace Thursday to cast their ballots for eight senators who will represent them in Duke Student Government this year.

The elections were originally slated for earlier this week, but a glitch in the online voting system could not be fixed in time, forcing DSG to resort to an alternate plan.

The higher-than-expected turnout should be attributed to freshman endiusiasm and the convenient location of the Marketplace, said senior George Fleming, DSG attorney general and election commissioner.

Fleming said that despite a switch to paper ballots, turnout was comparable to last year —when an unprecedented 918 freshmen voted.

In 2004, due to a communications error, only 106 freshmen voted.

This Saturday morning, access to West Campus quadrangles will not be just a swipe away for students.

At the Campus Council’s general body meeting Thursday night, members unanimously passed a policy to restrict residence hall access to only the residents who live in each quad, three hours before and one hour after this weekend’s football game.

Residents will be notified through emails sent by their respective Residence Coordinators Friday.

A new University-sponsored resource may soon help student entrepreneurs turn innovative ideas into realities.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, presented a plan for supporting student-run companies at a Sept. 26 meeting ofThe Duke Entrepreneur—an organization created last year to encourage pioneering efforts.

“This would be a good service to students who would like some way to be recognized as a viable entity by the University,” Moneta said.

He described preliminary plans to create an independent advisory board that would provide financial support to student entrepreneurial endeavors.

Available funds would include loans to businesses, startup grants to non-profit organizations and venture capital opportunities.

“The scope of the fund really depends on the business proposals,” said senior Jason Gross, co-president ofThe Duke Entrepreneur. “Duke has a lot of resources, and they’re wiling to make these business ideas realities.”

The project’s details have not been established, and the amount of money the University would be willing to provide to groups would depend on the scope of requests submitted, Moneta said.

“At this particular moment he appears to be competent, but this is subject to change,” Williams said. When asked specifically why Taheri-azar decided to plead guilty, Williams declined to speculate.

Students at UNC said they are still upset about the attempted murders, noting the attack drastically changed the campus dynamic last spring.

UNC sophomore Christine White noted that many students were outraged at Taheri-azar’s decision to plead not guilty.

“I don’t understand how he could possibly say that he did not try to run over those people,” she said.

“He admitted it right after it happened,” White added.

There has been no tension, however, between Muslim students and others on campus, White said, adding that it seems that UNC has come together in the face of the tragedy.

“Most people [at UNC] can separate the actions of this individual from an entire group of students who happen to share his religion,” she said.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Carl Fox said he was relieved that Taheri-azar decided to accept the representation, because it would lead to a fairer trial. He said Taheri-azar’s decision to plead not guilty and to have Williams as his lawyer can only help his case.

“His change of heart will never be brought up or affect the trial,” Fox said.

Farquharson, however, said NPHC should strive to be recognized for what it does beyond step shows.

“If you ask what NPHC does, people automatically will say step shows,” she said. “I want us to go beyond the social aspect and have people look at what we’re doing for our communities.”

Junior Cristian Liu, president ofLambda Phi Epsilon, said he thinks IGC groups contribute to campus life through cultural workshops and collaboration with other groups.

“At the very least, IGC groups are culturally, socially and service-oriented,” he said. “I’m not sure how that would go for IFC and Panhel, but we work equally hard on all three.”

In order to promote visibility, IGC President Jeannette Barajas, a senior, said her organization will be holding neighborhood meetings to try to make freshmen more informed about their options.

“Awareness of other organizations [outside of IFC and Panhel] isn’t high among freshmen coming in,” she said. “When there’s only two members on campus in an organization, it’s hard to recruit.”

Todd Adams, assistant dean of students for fraternity and sorority life, oversees and advises all four greek councils. He said the groups’ public profdes are close to reaching parity.

PAUL YEN/THE CHRONICLE

Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, located in Edens 3A, is the only NPHC group with a residential section.

“Obviously our Inter-Greek Council is our youngest council, and NPHC is the second-youngest,” he said. “In terms of size, Panhellenic has the most people and IFC is the largest in number of chapters. I would suggest that IGC and NPHC, through their programming in the last few years, are at least as visible as the others.”

Representatives from IFC, Panhel, IGC and NPHC all said there is a strong relationship between the leaders of the four councils; council presidents meet weekly, and the four executive boards went on a retreat in Spring 2006.

But as groups in both NPHC and IGC strive to expand, the question of self-segregation continues to haunt them.

ethnic groups—not because they’re racist, but because it’s easier to recruit that way,” Liu said. “A lot of our fraternities are active-

ly working against self-segregation.”

Pardo said there is a misconception that culturally based groups are exclusive and insular. “People say, ‘l’m not Latino, so I couldn’t rush or join,’ and that’s not what we’re about,” he said.

Julian Sanchez, director of the University’s Multicultural Center, said he does not think that self-segregation is a major problem on campus.

“We should build links, but maintain separate identities, rather than press to a common norm,” he said. “When you think about what that would be, it’s not very appealing —to me at least.”

Brodhead praised Chemerinksy for his commitment to teaching and research and his work in the field of constitutional law. Chemerinsky has appeared in many pro bono cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, Brodhead noted.

Brodhead recognized history professor Seymour Mauskopf, Trinity ’6B, former director ofDuke’s Program in Science, Technology and Human Values and former director of the Focus Program, with the Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award.

schools and the quality of life of community residents.

“We’re ecstatic to receive a gift like that because it provides us with discretionary resources, and discretionary resources really make this program go,” said Michael Palmer, vice president and directorof community affairs.

Palmer added that those resources —which are not allotted for a specific purpose—are important because they allow the Partnership to respond when the community expresses a need.

The Partnership focuses its work in four specific areas: academic enrichment and youth development, neighborhood stabilization, university engagement and strengthening of community organizations.

It is currently involved in ongoing projects in 12 nearby neighborhoods, working toward affordable housing, economic development and after-school programs at eight local schools. Though it is not yet certain what initiatives the operational half of the gift will fund, Palmer said the endowed half will definitely be used to help continue the existing programs.

“This is actually the first gift for endowment the Neighborhood Partnership has received,” said John Burness, senior vice president for government relations and public affairs. “We can ensure the various activities of the partnership for a long time.”

Steel is a native of Durham and attended Durham public schools before attending Duke, where he received a bachelor of arts in history and political science.

“The growing cooperation between Duke and my hometown over the past 10 years has been remarkable, and I wanted to help ensure the prospect of even greater collaborations,” Steel said in a statement.

The Partnership was founded in 1996, the same year Steel began serving on the Board of Trustees.

He was named chair in 2005, after he retired as vice chair of Goldman Sachs & Co. in 2004. Steel was also nominated earlier this month by President George W. Bush to serve as undersecretary of the treasury for domestic finance. If confirmed, he will still remain chair of the Board.

Though announced yesterday, the gift itself was given in January, Burness said.

Apple said Duke changed its dining vendor from ARAMARK, Corp. to Compass Group earlier this year, and the new vendor does not currently have a liquor license.

Wulforst said he had hoped the Armadillo Grill—which has a liquor license—would be able to sponsor the beer at Oktoberfest, but two students and a bartender were cited at the restaurant Sept. 21 by Alcohol Law Enforcement agents. The bust put the ’Dillo’s liquor license into question and it would not be able to sell the alcohol at Oktoberfest, Wulforst said.

ALE Raleigh district supervisor Jeff Lasater contacted Wulforst last week after seeing the Union’s newspaper advertisement. Advertising the sale of alcohol is illegal in North Carolina, Wulforst said.

Apple said the Union retracted the ad after it was notified of the error. “It was removed as soon as it was run and did not run again,” he said. The ad had drawn ALE’s attention, however, andWulforst said Lasater informed him ALE would be looking closely at alcohol distribution on campus. The ’Dillo citations were issued soon after.

“I’d bet 100 bucks that ALE’s going to be on campus [today] seeing if we’re doing what we’re supposed to do,” Wulforst said.

Without a permanent liquor license, the only way to sell beer at events is with a temporary license sponsored by a charity that will receive the proceeds of the alcohol sales, Wulforst said. He added that on

“Right now the climate for folks that are tied to Duke isn’t positive around beer distribution,” Wulforst said. “I don’t think too many people want to stand behind that.... The Ronald McDonald house is in the business of standing behind children.”

Although Apple said independent companies had a number of reasons for declining—particularly time constraints—he, like Wulforst, mentioned the issue of reputation. “Nobody wanted to be involved with our campus,” Apple explained.

Senior Chris Sung—who said he assumed there would be beer on points—likened the removal of beer from Oktoberfest to the recent modifications to other social traditions such as tailgate.

“Half the reason I came to Duke was because it had a more refreshing social vibe,” he said. “But now we see Duke changing.”

Although this year’s event may be missing the Bavarian beer-centricism of

the original festival, many students said the change would not stop them from attending events being held on the quad and on the West Campus Plaza.

Senior Betsy-Shane Rosenblum, a member of indie-pop band The Relatively Calm, said her group will be performing a song in German and will attempt an overall “German military” look.

Headliner Of Montreal—also an indie-pop group—will perform later in the day on the plaza. Student performing groups Def Mo and Hoof ’n’ Horn will also perform.

Sophomore Charisma Nelson, DUU special events committee president, said she expects undergraduates, graduate students and alumni to attend the festival. .

ences,” he said. “We wanted to test [the policy] out for one weekend.”

Student responses will be collected next week through a Campus Council survey.

•At its Thursday meeting, the council will decide whether the policy will be made permanent for all games, Ganatra said.

Senior Shaunte Henry, Central Campus representative, said she fears the policy will bring more inconvenience to students than the benefits of an increase in security.

“Students have card access, they can swipe each other in anyway,” Henry said.

Sophomore Zach Goodman, Wannamaker Quadrangle representative, said the policy will be beneficial to students.

“It protects more than pisses people off,” Goodman said, adding that it costs fraternities approximately $175 to clean up every time someone vomits on a toilet.

Sophomore Molly Bierman, a representative from Kilgo Quadrangle, said students will more likely have a positive response if they learn about the change ahead of time.

“It’s not a major issue,” said sophomore Dan Piech, an at-large council representative. “It’s more psychological.”

In other business: Members unanimously agreed to adjust residential fees according to the inflation rate set by the University.

This will increase fees by less than $1 per student per semester, Ganatra said, adding that adjusting fees to inflation allows the Council to maintain its purchasing power.

DSG VOTE

from page 3

“My understanding of past turnouts in previous DSG elections is that for freshmen, for the first semester, turnout has been very, very low,” said DSG President Elliott Wolf, a junior.

“Turnout this time has been almost as high for turnout in the spring for [Executive Board] elections,” he added.

The results more than doubled his expectation of approximately 300 voters.

“Optimistically, I’ll assume that this indicates freshman interest in DSG and freshman awareness of DSG,” Wolf added.

DSG Executive Vice President Joe Fore, a senior, said he hoped 30 percent of the freshman class would vote, and was pleased with the nearly 45-percent turnout.

“To me that’s huge. I think that’s really

impressive,” Fore said, crediting Fleming and the election committee, as well as the freshman class for its zeal.

Fleming said he was unsure if the paper ballots deterred voters, but many freshmen said any negative effect was minimal.

“I think if someone was going to vote they’re going to end up voting on a paper ballot just as easily as they would have online,” said freshman Allison Brandt.

DSG was informed of a problem with the web authorization login service last week.

DSG decided Wednesday to use paper ballots—a move Fore called the final contingency plan.

“Due to the problems with the election software and the importance of having the election run smoothly, we decided a paper ballot would be the best option,” Fleming wrote in an e-mail.

The project Thursday helped them to see that both science and technology will be important in any of these jobs, said Rachael Brady, director of the Visualization Technology Group and the coordinator of the event.

“The idea is to make science and technology relevant to the AfricanAmerican culture through an instance of their culture,” Brady said.

“It shows that everybody, even rappers, need to learn these things so they do too,” she added.

The experience also encouraged the students to spread the message about the importance of technology to other student as well.

“It helped me want to help get others involved now that I have had a chance to be involved myself,” said Jessica Lunsford, a student from Githens Middle School.

Matthew Etherington, who teaches at the nearby Camelot Academy, heard about the performance from a parent of a student who works at the University.

Etherington requested his students be allowed to participate at the studio as well.

“I’ve been teaching my high school students music technology mainly using [the Apple program] Garageßand and they have been creating their own pieces,” he said. “This seems like an interesting way for them to see how interactive and applicable the music technology they are learning about can be.”

MATTHEW NEWCOMB/THE CHRONICLE

Mark Poster, a professor from the University of California, Irvine, discussed the relation ofreality TV to reality.

REALITY TV from page 5 the culture of the human machine apparatus,” Poster said, explaining that for the purposes of reality TV, humans are information machines.

Poster began his lecture with an examination of the increasing role of television in people’s lives, before narrowing his focus to cosmetic surgery reality TV shows, such as MTV’s “I Want A Famous Face,” FX’s “Nip/Tuck” and Fox’s “The Swan.”

These shows have been described as shameful exploitation, products of a decadent American civilization and consumer narcissism, Poster said.

But he also identified the serious issues these shows raised in regards to the concept of the care of self. Poster cited the work of Mark Andrejevic, Susan Murray and Laurie Ouellette as examples of the different interpretations ofreality TV.

Poster concluded by applying the philosophies of Jean Baudrillard and Michel Foucault to the analysis of reality TV. He used Baudrillard’s explanations to

describe how reality TV simulates what is real and Foucault’s beliefs to propose a different way of relating to oneself. Poster said Foucault believed in taking oneself as an unknown—a project—to be discovered in relation with others in the world.

Poster said he had to watch episodes of “The Swan” and “I Want A Famous Face” back-to-back to prepare for the talk.

“It was the toughest research I’ve ever done in my life,” he said.

Justin Izzo, a third-year graduate student in anthropology, said he found Poster’s discussion very interesting.

“I never watch these shows, but I’ve read Baudrillard, Foucault and other relevant books, and it’s fascinating to see how these paradigms are played out in real life,” Izzo said.

are likely locations,” DeNoble said Prior to Sachs’ Nov. 11 visit to Duke and UNC, the group plans to increase campus-wide awareness of the Millennium Villages Project by pairing up with other, better-established student organizations. Down the road, the group hopes to expand fundraising efforts to the Durham community.

“We’re working with local high schools to get them involved,” said sophomore Roshen Sethna, who is in charge of community relations for the project. “Nothing is official yet, but several things are in the works.”

DeNoble said he is adamant the project become a community-wide effort. “Big-name donors have been key in the past, but students and the community have not,” he said. “We want to change that.”

One proposal to increase student and University involvement in the project is to eventually sendstudents to the village.

“Right now only the Columbia Earth [lnstitute] experts and people on site are working directly with the villagers,” DeNoble said. “We’d like to see that change.”

Denoble said he envisions students collaborating with an appropriate faculty department to achieve each of the Millennium Promise’s eight goals.

Few student groups are capable of raising thousands of dollars, much less $750,000, and Denoble was keen to emphasize that the Project “really is a historic student effort.” In spite of the difficulty of the task ahead, Denoble remains optimistic. Compared with the magnitude of global poverty, he said, raising a few dollars doesn’t seem too daunting.

Duke looks for revenge on Virginia by

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils have faced off against the high and low of college football from the commonwealth of Virginia.

Against underdog, Division I-AA Richmond, Duke (0-4, 0-2 in the ACC) lost 130 in the season opener and two weeks later, was shutout again versus No. 11 Virginia Tech.

The school that bears the state’s name of Virginia, however, falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of Virginia football and poses a new challenge for Duke—overcoming an opponent that is on relatively equal-foodng with the Blue Devils.

Virginia (1-3, 0-1), like Duke, has already dropped three games—the Cavaliers did post one win by escaping against Wyoming, 13-12, in overtime.

Also like Duke, Virginia has used more than one quarterback, shuffling around with three compared to the Blue Devils’ two.

The Blue Devils took over three hours play the full 90-minute game against Boston College last night, but it was the final 73 seconds that gave them the win.

Delayed by thunderstorms that caused two interruptions, B.C Duke battled the Eagles for the maDUKE "I jority of the game with two goose eggs on the scoreboard.

But with just over a minute left on the clock, Rebecca Moros sent a free kick across the field into the six-yard box, where a leaping Kay Anne Gummersall headed it into the net to put the Blue Devils ahead, 1-0.Jerseys sticking to their skin, Duke players hugged on the field, and the bench exploded in celebration.

The Blue Devils were sopping, muddy and sweaty. But no one seemed to care.

As the final minute ticked off the clock, the Eagles could not send the game into overtime, and Duke (6-4-1, 2-1 in the ACC) downed No. 25 Boston College (7-3-0, 1-1) Thursday night at Koskinen Stadium.

head coach Robbie Church said. “We need wins in the conference, and we need wins to get to the NCAA tournament....

Both teams came out strong in the first half, but despite their four shots apiece, neither team could find the net. As halftime approached, the wind picked up, and raindrops started falling. Lightning and thunder began at halftime, resulting in a nearly two-hour game delay.

After getting back on the field, Duke was able to get off nine shots—Boston College had five —before lightning caused another delay 31 minutes into the half. As the Blue Devils sat in the locker room for the second time that evening, their morale

stayed high.

“We were still really enthusiastic, and we knew that it was going to come down to mental toughness at that point,” Moros said. “That is the worst in the world to be all warmed up and fired up and ready to go and have to sit and come back out and sit again.

MEN'S SOCCER

Blue Devils aim to take down defending champs

BY Archith Ramkumar THE CHRONICLE

When 14th-ranked Duke meets thirdranked Maryland 8 p.m. Friday in College Park, Md., one team will get revenge.

The Blue Devils (7-1-1, 2-0-1 in the ACC) are looking to avenge last year’s 3-1 home loss to Maryland (9-1-0, 2-1).

The Terrapins—who won the national championship last year are looking to get even JKhai after last year’s 4-2 loss to Duke in the ACC tournaVS, ment—a defeat that —

snapped Maryland’s 11-

game winning streak.

Along with the history TONIGHT, 8 p.m. between the two squads, Md. Park, College Friday’s game will be even more important for both as it is a conference matchup between two top-15 teams.

“We obviously want to win all of our ACC games,”junior midfielder Mike Videira said. “We’ve been working extremely hard this week preparing for Maryland.”

One of the recent concerns for Duke has been putting the ball in the back of the net—the Blue Devils have scored just three goals over their last four games. While Duke has been creating plenty of scoring chances, the team has been unable to capitalize on those opportunities since it exploded for three goals in the second half in a 4-3 win over Wake Forest Sept. 8.

After two weeks of playing games on Tuesday as well as the weekend, Duke has enjoyed a full week of rest heading into Friday’s key matchup.

“I think we just needed a week without

fce

a midweek game,” head coach John Rennie said, “We needed to get our sharpness and execution back.”

If the Blue Devils are crisp offensively and pull out a win against Maryland, they would not only get revenge but also solidify a top spot in the ACC. With the victory, Duke could beat the defending national champions on the road and remain unbeaten in conference play.

“This would be a very big step for us,” Rennie said, “Winning a game on the road in the ACC is very very hard, especially against a highly ranked team like

Maryland.”

After allowing just

two goals over the last four games, Duke will look to continue its strong defensive play to shut down Maryland’s offense. The Blue Devils limited Boston College’s prolific goal scorer Charlie Davies to just one shot, and junior goalie Justin Papadakis has three shutouts this season.

The defense will be key to continue Duke’s modicum of recent success against Maryland. The Blue Devils have won five of their last eight meetings against the Terrapins, and in 2004, Duke knocked off the top-ranked Terrapins, 2-1. Maryland, however, leads the overall series 39-19-3.

Though Duke has enjoyed recent success against Maryland, last year’s home loss to the Terrapins has not been forgotten, and Duke will carry that motivation into College Park.

“The game is on TV, it’s at night, it’s an ACC game, and it’s Maryland,” sophomore forward Mike Grella said. “It’d be great to beat them on the road.”

Duke looks for 2nd straight league win Well Flaherty THE CHRONICLE

League wins are crucial in a conference in which all six teams are ranked eighth or

higher nationally.

No. 4 Duke (7-2, 1-1 in the ACC), fresh off a thrilling overtime win over sixthranked North Carolina, shoot for its second straight ACC victory this weekend, when No. 7 Boston College (8-2, 1-1) travels to Durham for a match Saturday. The Blue a 'S faCe Har SATURDAY, tp,m. rd ln a "on-conWilliams Field ference tilt Sunday.

“Every ACC game is important,” Duke head coach Beth Bozman said. lJWe’re at the halfway point, and every game is crucial for us.”

The 2-1 win over the Tar Heels last Saturday gave Duke its first ACC win of the year and a confidence boost after a tough 4-3 double-overtime loss to No. 3 Old Dominion Sept. 17. After surrendering their 1-0 lead with five minutes to go in regulation, the Blue Devils scored the game-winning goal when senior midfielder Amy Stopford scored on a penalty stroke 11 minutes into overtime.

Although the Blue Devils gave up a late lead, Bozman said she was happy with the way her team closed out the game.

“It was good to not be up oh a team and let them back into the game, like we did

against Old Dominion,” Bozman said. “We slacked off a little bit in the second half against UNC, but then we got our act back together enough to get a win.”

With a schedule that includes only five conference games, the Blue Devils need a win over the Eagles in order to find some breathing room in the ACC. Duke expects Boston College, which is coming off a 1-0 win over No. 8 Virginia, to give them a

tough test Saturday.

“They are a very strong team,” Stopford said. “We are going to focus on playing our game, and hopefully things will take care

of themselves.”

The Eagles roster includes the ACC’s assist leader, midfielder Katie Quaglia, and forward Bob Dirks, who ranks third in the conference with nine goals. Dirks scored the lone goal against the Cavaliers Sept. 22 and has at least one goal in each of her last three games.

Still, the Blue Devils hope to find success on the offensive end against a Boston College defense that allows a league-worst 1.49 goals per game.

“We have seen teams similar to them,” Bozman said. “But what is important is that this is an ACC game, and we want to place ourselves well going into that [conference] tournament.”

Although Harvard is winless this season, they have played well against ranked competition. The Crimson lost to both No. 10 Connecticut and No. 15 Providence by a single goal.

Hunkus said she remembered playing at UNC before a basketball game in front of 16,000 fans. The team doesn’t expect that sort of turnout Saturday, but as Hunkus said, “The fans always make it.”

Despite losing several key players, including 2005 ACC Player of the Year Dani Nyenhuis, Nagel expects the Tar Heels to come out ready.

“Carolina always plays so well and hard

against us,” Nagel said. “They’re always very competitive.”

Last year, Duke and UNC split their two matches, each winning in five games at home. But Duke was not at full strength when it lost at Chapel Hill last November, Nagel said.

The Blue Devils bring a healthy lineup to Carmichael Saturday, but the team is by no means looking past the Tar Heels, who have struggled to find a rhythm this season.

“This is the ACC,”Hunkus said. “Any team on any night—teams are out to get us.”

Jay Williams inks deal with New Jersey by

Tom Canavan

THE ASSOCIATED

PRESS

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ. Former Duke point guard Jay Williams, who is trying to revive his career after a motorcycle accident three years ago, signed with the New Jersey Nets Thursday.

Terms of the contract were not immediately available, but the deal is not guaranteed. It does allow Williams to try out for the Nets during training camp. He is considered a bit of a longshot to make the team.

Jason Kidd is the Nets’ starting point guard, and Marcus Williams, the team’s first-round draft pick, is expected to back him up.

Nets president Rod Thom said earlier this week that the accident has taken away some ofWilliams’ athleticism, but he can make up for that with his knowledge of the game.

“Remarkable young man to get to this point,” Thom said. “Nobody outworks him. He’s got a tremendous attitude. He’s a guy that everybody roots for the kind of person that he is. He believes he’ll make it back. And we’re certainly hopeful that he will, too.”

Originally drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls, Williams averaged 9.5 points, 4.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.15 steals in 75 contests during the 2002-03 season. He was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team.

Williams’ career appeared to end on June 19, 2003, when he crashed his recendy bought motorcycle into a light pole in Chicago, fracturing his pelvis and tearing knee ligaments and suffering nerve damage in his left leg.

He was hospitalized for three-and-a-halfmonths.

The Bulls eventually bought out his contract for about $3 million.

A native of Plainfield, which is about 20 miles from where the Nets play their home games, Williams led the Blue Devils to the national tide as a sophomore in 2001 and was a two-time All-American and the 2002 Associated Press College Player of the Year.

The unusual situation was not a problem for Duke, which has had to face several of them this season. Church called the Blue Devils’ recent road games “a travel disaster,” and Duke has had several pairs of games with only one day of rest in between.

But unlike in several ofits games this season—theBlue Devils have lost four of their past seven contests by just one goal—Duke was able to finish its scoring opportunities Thursday night. Although they did not score on their first 12 shots, the Blue Devils were able to connect on their last.

ASACK from page 13

the snaps with the first team in spring practice and planned to hang around for both sessions of summer school to get ahead on schoolwork and improve his game. sack arrived at Duke before the 2005 school year as But with finals around the comer and pressure building at one of two highly touted freshman quarterbacks the end offirst session, he got sloppy with his schoolwork. “It expected to push Mike Schneider for playing time. was a moment of complete laziness on my part,” he said.

With Schneider struggling three weeks into the season and When Asack found out he might be in trouble, he kept the other freshman quarterback, Gene Delle Donne, susthe news to himself for the first few days. But once he was pended from the team, head coach Ted Roof called Asack’s sure the final result was going to be bad, he dropped into number during Duke’s week-three win over VMI. Roofs office on the fourth floor of the Yoh Football Center. his first Asack “He just came into my office and laid it out,” Roof said.

In collegiate playing experience, engineered a nine-play, 76-yard drive that culminated with “We certainly don’t condone that type of behavior. But at a six-yard touchdown pass to then-freshman wideout the same time, he’s still part of our family. My kids make mistakes, they’re still my kids. Zack’s still part of my family.”

Marcus Jones.

The next week at Virginia, Schneider turned the ball Once the judicial affairs process was complete, Asack over twice in the first half and could not move Duke’s ofhad a decision to make. He knew he was suspended for fense. Asack came in and led Duke’s only scoring drive of two semesters, but because judicial proceedings are kept the game, and from that point on the starting job was his. private, Asack had the option of not releasing to the media After the 2005 season, Duke saw a massive exodus at the the reason for his leaving the University for a year. quarterback posidon—Schneider and Curt Dukes left with “I didn’t want there to be any speculation, about why I one year of eligibility remaining and Delle Donne transwas suspended,” Asack said. “I didn’t want anyone to think ferred to Middle Tennessee State. That left Asack as the it was because of drugs or anything like that, so I said, Just presumptive- starter for 2006. Asack took the majority of be straight and tell them what really happened.’”

A

Roof held a meeting with the Blue Devils to deliver the news—which had been rumored among the players for several days prior—and to rally his team.

“Right away it was, ‘We still have Marcus Jones at quarterback, we have a great freshman coming in,” kicker Joe Surgan said. ‘You know what? It’s not like it’s the first person to ever get kicked out for plagiarism here. It happens—it’s unfortunate it was our starting quarterback. But we knew we had to move on.”

For

a guy who has played every Saturday in the fall for as long as he can remember, it has not been an easy transition being away from the Blue Devils.

Back at home, Asack has not strayed far from football.

Each morning, Asack works at the Patriots’ practice facility in Foxboro, Mass., 30 minutes away from his hometown.

The job isn’t exactly glorious, but as an assistant ball boy, Asack has gotten plenty of opportunity to watch and interact with Brady, New England’s all-pro quarterback.

“I’m over there every day watching Brady, learning stuff from him, picking stuff up,” Asack said. “I soak in as much stuff" as I can from a great QB like him, also looking at the defense they use to keep my mind sharp.”

Roof said he thinks the experience will be beneficial.

“Regardless of what business you’re in, when you’re around successful organizations that’s certainly a very positive experience,” Roof said.

When he’s finished at the Patriots’ facility, Asack heads over to his old high school, where his brother, Paul, is the team’s starting quarterback. The elder Asack works with the quarterbacks, throws to the receivers and keeps in shape.

He also makes sure to keep up to date on younger brother Paul’s college search. Zack Asack said his younger brother, a junior in high school, would love to come to Duke as a placekicker.

So

far this season, Asack has been able to watch two of Duke’s three games. He was in Wallace Wade Stadium for the loss to Richmond and caught the tight loss to Wake Forest on pay-per-view at his home.

“It was crazy for me because that was the first time since I was seven years old I wasn’t playing,” Asack said of the Richmond game. “It was weird watching from the stands.”

Once again this weekend, Asack will make the trip down to Durham, where Surgan—Asack’s best friend—has two tickets waiting for the quarterback and his mother.

The Blue Devil team Asack and his mom will watch is markedly differentfrom the one he saw in the same stadium a month ago—especially at quarterback.

Since then, true freshman Thaddeus Lewis has emerged as Duke’s starter at the position. But though Lewis has looked strong, Asack said he is not considering transferring.

“I love it at Duke—the coaches and players —I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” he said. “There’s always going to be competition no matter what the job is. He’s going to push me and I’ll push him and it’ll be interesting.”

For Duke’s coaching staff, the return ofAsack will provide relief from the team’s constant worryingabout its paper-thin depth at the most important position on the field.

“Anytime you can increase talent level or competition, that’s good for everyone,” Roof said. “In this league, quarterbacks get knocked out some times.”

Surgan said he was looking forward to his best friend and teammate’s return to Duke, taking classes and leading the Blue Devils on the field.

“He still has three more years to play football here,” Surgan said. “Is it the most common route people take?

No. But it happens. He made a mistake and everything will be fine in the end.”

VIRGINIA from page 13 Even with these similarities and Duke’s lack of success

against schools from Virginia, Duke believes it has one thing going for it—confidence.

“You watch their communication in practice—how they talk to one another,” head coach Ted Roof said.

“Communication is confidence. All these guys have to do is focus on execution and being loose and aggressive, and that’s all you can control.”

Looking back to the Wake Forest game three weeks ago —before the loss in Blacksburg, Va. —the Blue Devils do have plenty to be confident about. They held the Demon Deacons to 57 yards rushing, and starting quarterback Thaddeus Lewis completed 21-of-32 passes for 305 yards.

Although the late comeback by Wake Forest and the two other losses have left the team winless, Duke has continued to work hard with an eye on the Virginia game.

“Regardless of what people might think, our kids have busted their hump, and they really, really want this thing,” Roof said. “They’ve invested in this with their heart and soul, and it’s important to them. They need to see a return on the investment.”

After a bye week, in which Roofbroke down the strong and weak points of his team and gave his players time to rest aches and pains, the players returned to practice feeling crisp and poised for the upcoming matchup.

“We gave them a couple days off at the beginning of the [bye] week,” Roof said. “They were able to kind of recharge their battery a little bit and get a fresh start.”

Virginia will not have the same advantage. The Cavaliers are still recovering from their anemic offensive performance against Georgia Tech, losing 24-7 and managing only 166yards of total offense. Without a full week off, Virginia has not had the benefit of rest and reevaluation.

The Blue Devils still have concerns with how to generate a running game, with running back Ronnie Drummer only 50-50, and how to shore up a pass defense prone to giving up big plays.

“On third-and-long situations, we need to get some more pressure on the quarterback to help out the defensive backs,” senior defensive end Eli Nichols said. “Our run defense has been a little better than our pass defense.”

But Virginia’s inexperienced passing game—the Cavaliers will start redshirt freshman quarterback Jameel Sewell—may mask the Blue Devils’ apparent weakness in the pass defense.

Duke hopes to exploit Virginia and build up its newfound confidence en route to the Blue Devils’ first win of the season.

‘You play with them, you see their ups and downs and how they approach the game,” Lewis said of his teammates; “You can tell how they are feeling. When guys are trying to be perfect, that means they are confident.”

We’ve

heard so much during the past six months about the so-called “culture of crassness” at Duke. More specifically, undergraduates have been assigned what Rev. Sam Wells, Dean of the Chapel, called a “subculture of reckless ‘entitlement,’ sexual acquisitiveness and ag-

gressive arrogance.”

Of course, these social tensions are hardly unique this University. Without a doubt, our struggle has become public in of the light lacrosse scandal.

But we don’t get off that easily.

After all, it’s Duke—and not any other top-10 institution—that consistendy ranks kristin butler among the top with a „ <j eHberate speed colleges with Littie Race/Class Interaction” and where “Town/Gown Relations Are Strained” in surveys like those conducted by the Princeton Review.

What, then, is it about this place that fosters the culture of I Am Charlotte Simmons and Rolling Stone’s lacrosstitutes? And why is the notorious debauchery and bacchanalia concentrated among a minority of students?

The answer is that these problems are systematic—and not cultural—in origin. Indeed, this intractable “culture of crassness” is situated directly atop the friction between the academic and non-academic missions of this University.

Encapsulating this struggle is the current discussion regarding differential admissions policies, especially Duke’s acknowledged preference for the children of wealthy non-alumni. Clearly, all universities need money to operate, and this approach has proven an effective way to solicit large donations.

But by reinforcing the privilege already enjoyed by wealthy, almost universally white students, this policy (which is compounded by legacy and athletic preferences) virtually guarantees the presence of smoldering racial and socio-economic resentments on campus.

Add administrators’ passive-aggressive approach to housing and alcohol policies to this mix, and we uncover the ugly truth: Although our much-cited “campus culture problem” belongs to students, it was born of policy shortcomings entirely outside of our control.

Indeed, before freshmen have ever set foot on to

LETTERS POLICY The Chronicle welcomes submissions in the form of let-

Although Haagen’s plan is insufficient, it is at least a constructive attempt at achieving meaningful interaction.

The parody, however, is not; its condescending tone and final sarcastic request that coaches who work with “preprofessional athletes and winning teams” participate is evidence of what many view as academic arrogance.

The comic impracticably of Ted Roof shadowing a philosopher doing independent research speaks to the unproductive nature of the revised version of Haagen’s plan.

Many students know professors who are openly antagonistic to athletes in their classes, and the parody confirms this unwillingness to reconcile the two of the most powerful, and

yet conflicting, facets of Duke.

The one meaningful aspect of the parody is its demand that the Athletic Department initiate a rapprochement with the academic side of the University. However, it does this in the context of ridicule, not re-

spectful dialogue.

Perhaps Haagen’s superficial gesture and its satire would not be newsworthy if the stakes were low. But they are not. One of the most pressing discussions that rose out of the lacrosse scandal and that demands open-minded, serious and creative solutions is the philosophical divide that prevents meaningful interaction between athletics and academics at Duke. And both sides involved in this episode must recognize this truth.

ters to the editor or guest columns. Submissions must include the author’s name, signature, department or class, and for

because of the great time commitment involved, the professors who might participate would most likely be those professors already friendly to athletics. The professors most distant from athletics would not give a second thought to joining Haagen’s program.

What’s more, the proposal brings up a limited solution to a large and complex problem, which is the cultural gap between the more than 600 varsity athletes and the rest of the undergraduate population. Connecting coaches and faculty could represent a step in the right direction, but it would by no means be a significant gesture in the context of an underlying misunderstanding between the school and its sports teams.

campus, some of them are already more equal than others. Most have been admitted under one set of standards, while others were measured against an entirely different set of non-standards.

Our thriving greek system then codifies these social divisions, and housing policies that cede large parts of West Campus to fraternities and selective living groups make them visible.

Lastly, poorer and unaffiliated students are relegated to Central Campus as juniors and seniors. I very much enjoy living on Central; but I do wonder how wise it is to encourage the perception that large numbers of unaffiliated and minority students live here, literally situated outside the University’s core.

Of course, this is compounded by an alcohol policy that has made liquor distribution inaccessible to all but the largest student groups. This further consolidates social options and drives the most dangerous behavior off campus. Like many other students, I find this alcohol policy to be an uninspired approach to a deeply rooted problem. Nonetheless, it’s worth considering the source of the sense of entitlement and arrogance at the heart of our drinking culture. Perhaps we’ve seen it before.

Our attempts to transform alcohol and housing policies have not been without success.

Since East was remade into an all-freshman campus, first-year students have enjoyed unprecedented levels of unity and contentment; the success of the Focus program only compounds these benefits.

Moreover, considering the fact that we recycle fully one-fourth of our student body each year, and that all undergraduates move on within four or five years, it’s clear that Duke could never have a truly “fixed” culture. With 1,600 new Blue Devils arriving each August, we are constantly reinvented. Clearly our campus culture is exacdy what we make of it.

It is with sadness, then, that I’ve watched the process of self-segregation unfold within my own class; the social divisions that have emerged since our haphazard transition onto West Campus have all but obliterated the benefits of the East Campus experiment. Nevertheless, this renewed focus on our campus culture’s underlying problems inspires optimism.

Previous successes have proven that we do not lack bright and innovative ideas. By channeling these, we can address the policy shortcomings that underlie our social conflicts. But all of the cosmetic fixes in the world will only be palliative so long as we refuse to acknowledge what is already true: The problems with our “culture” are system-wide.

Athletes integral part of University life Professor

Orin Starn recently wrote in The HeraldSun, “A university that prides itself on innovation would become a bold leader in much-needed college athletics reform.” What is so innovative about making Duke look like the hundreds of other universities with good academics and uncompetitive athletics?

It was not a sell-out at Cameron Indoor Stadium a few Mondays ago. The meeting of student-athU I StldCK U I# TSCnGI letes, coaches and support staff “family” was a guest column call to reaffirm and renew values that the Athletic Department, and all those in it, have always represented. As student athletes, we are in the unique position of representing the University on a national stage, which we do with pride. We love to play for the name on the front of our jerseys rather than the back, and all the past successes and tradition of excellence that come with the letters D-U-K-E. I write to respond to some recent proposals thatDuke deemphasize or eliminate its athletics program.

I have been a life-long Duke fan. When I was admitted here, my dream became a reality. I was not recruited to Duke as an athlete. In the months following my acceptance, I decided that sports were too significant a part of my life to give up, so I tried out and walked on to the women’s lacrosse team—a team that has gone to the Final Four my first two years at Duke. Since my first day of practice, I have felt extremely privileged to be a part of such a special, driven and talented group of women. At Duke, I have served on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, a group which interacts with the Athletic Department as well as organizes and participates in several community service projects. I am a member of the first class of Baldwin Scholars, a program which stemmed from Duke’s Women’s Initiative, and which aims to change women’s leadership roles and attitudes on campus.

That being said, I am first and foremost a serious student, as are most student-athletes I know. I and my fellow athletes have enormous respect for the faculty at Duke. One of the ways we demonstrate that respect for our professors is hard work. Duke athletes work hard.

Last year, 362 Duke student-athletes earned a place on

THE QUADRANGLE MODEL

Evolution of residence life on West continues former President Nan Keohane told The Chronicle in 2000, before the renovations and changes began.

Linking—in which each freshman dorm corresponds to a West Campus quad—was also instituted in 2002 to allow students to maintain friendships with students from their freshman dorms.

The policy was eliminated in early 2006, however, this time to allow students to maintain relationships with friends they had made from other freshman donns.

But two years after the new quad model was put into place, it had only partially achieved its goals of bringing stu-

With the imminent construction of Duke’s new Central Campus, members of the administration hope the ideal “quad model” will come to fruition.

“The whole goal of the first year is to expand your horizons, meet new people, get out of your comfort zone,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs.

“Central will be that adult transition.”

But what comes in between freshman and senior year is an arrangement of quadrangles on West Campus that has been under development since 2002—the year the quad system was implemented.

When students moved into theirdormitories in Fall 2002, a new policy required all sophomores to live on West Campus.

Fraternities and selective houses were uprooted from Main West Quadrangle and moved into the inner quads, and the West-Edens Link—now known as Keohane Quadrangle —opened its doors to students, housing 350 residents.

The most recent residential addition to West Campus, the WEL replaced a parking lot that separated Main West from Edens Quadrangle, bridging a physical gap between West Campus residents.

Prior to the changes, sophomores could choose to live on either West or Central. Many students and administrators, however, concluded that this system caused a rift between students because many minorities chose to live on Central, leaving West as a stereotypically greekdominated community.

“It’s not where I would go to meet new people,” then-junior Stephanie Weber told The Chronicle in December 2004. “I would go to a barbecue to get food, not to make new friends. I mean, no one else is going there to meet me.”

Moneta said there are significant differences between students of different years that the evolving quad model hopes to address.

“Freshmen are different than sophomores are different than juniors are different than seniors,” he said. “As maturity increases, needs are different.”

Four quadrangles surrounded by a sea of green will house more than 1,000 beds as well as academic, performance and dining facilities. The whole package will come with a $240-million price tag.

And that’s just Phase I. Visions of the new Central Campus have been a topic of discussion at Duke since 2000. Because of ongoing planning and design revisions, groundbreaking has been delayed several times. Despite difficulties, administrators are optimistic about improving campus culture with the changes.

In a speech delivered to students in March, President Richard Brodhead described the construction ofCentral Campus as a major part of the next strategic plan.

“What will make the new Central strategic, rather than merely necessary, is the way it will speak to the new model of education,” Brodhead said.

The new Central will combine residence halls with academic spaces and provide space and facilities for visual and performance art.

The campus will also be physically integrative by serving as a bridge between East Campus, West Campus and the Nasher Museum of Art. Furthermore, the improvements will bring undergraduate students closer to graduate students since all students will have the option to live on Central.

“The plans are still being tweaked,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask told The Chronicle in July. “The Board wasn’t ready to agree unanimously with it.”

An artist's rendering of the new Central Campus,which is slated to break ground summer 2007, depicts buildings that will house academic, residential, arts andretail facilities.

Administrators considered suggestions made by the Board of Trustees after its May meeting in the newest planning revisions. The changes extended the starting date for construction to next summer, Trask said.

About a dozen board members visited the campus in July to review the revised plans. The new draft of the plans have been made and will be presented to the Board when they meet this weekend. Construction can only begin after the plan receives the stamp of approval from the board.

Should the plans receive the thumbs up, Duke will need to negotiate local and state zoning ordinances, Trask told The Chronicle in May. The University has already submitted a rezoning proposal to the Durham Planning Commission in order to change Central Campus land from a residential to a university-college zone.

Provost Peter Lange and Durham community leaders met in August at a closeddoor meeting to discuss the future of Central Campus. Although the conclusions from the meeting were not disclosed, the

group gathered to discuss 12 specific concerns raised by neighbors on community listservs which ranged from the preservation of wetlands to historic houses.

Before any buildings are constructed, however, preliminary roadwork and pipe and wire installation must be completed.

“Even if we start moving dirt, you won’t see anything except foundations for well over a year,” Lange said.

With the recent delays, students are expected to move in to the new apartments in Fall 2009.

THE CHRONICLE

HOMECOMING WEEKEND

PAID ADVERTISEMENT To the Trustees of Duke University: The Friends of Duke University welcome you to campus on the occasion of your fall Board meeting. As you meet to discuss the state of the University, we hope you will consider the information contained in the following article which we are reproducing for your benefit.

Where Are the Trustees?

By K.C. Johnson, Professor of history at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center In contemporary higher education, most trustees possess an almost pathological fear of “micromanaging” university affairs. Even passive trustees, however, have a clear fiduciary responsibility regarding their universities. And most consider preserving the reputation of the institution as among their tasks.

In an ideal world, individual Duke trustees would have spoken out forcefully to remind the public that irresponsible faculty members, such as the Group of 88, did not represent the institution’s values. (An extraordinary CUNY trustee, Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, serves as a model on such matters; so too do the insurgent trustees at Dartmouth.) But at the very least, Duke’s trustees should have acted to safeguard their institution’s reputation and long-term financial position.

But their recent selection of Richard Brodhead as Duke’s newest president complicated how the Duke trustees have responded to the lacrosse affair. Picking a president is 'one of the few clear powers trustees possess—and so choosing Brodhead represented a defining moment for this board. Any aggressive action by the trustees would have constituted an implicit admission that they made a questionable pick in selecting Brodhead as president—even though he has proven unwilling or unable to constrain the worst elements among his faculty or to insist that local authorities respect the rights of Duke students.

Whatever the explanation for their past passivity, Duke’s trustees face three fronts that cry out for action now.

at least

1.) Future student recruitment. Brodhead remained mute as local authorities ran roughshod over a host of procedures in dealing with Duke students. The president need not have attested to the innocence of those Nifong had targeted. He had three opportunities to have taken the milder, and wholly appropriate, approach of demanding that local authorities follow their own rules when dealing with Duke students; when Nifong sent police to the Duke dorms before the first indictment; when Friends of Duke University made a public plea for him to take such a •

•

•

stand in an open letter; when Nifong requested keycard data on 43 Duke students who the district attorney had publicly deemed innocent of any crimes.

Duke’s tiptoeing in the third instance is especially hard to comprehend. Via an extremely broad and vague subpoena, in June Nifong requested keycard data for the other lacrosse players—long after it had become apparent to any impartial observer that a pursuit of truth was not foremost on the district attorney’s agenda.

This information is normally protected by FERPA, and it would have been perfectly reasonable for the University Counsel’s office to have filed an amicus brief supporting the (ultimately successful) efforts of the students to quash the subpoena. Instead, Duke chose neutrality: a smoke signal, if there ever was one, that the Brodhead administration saw no institutional interest in upholding FERPA protections from Nifong’s prying instincts.

This record an awkward, but necessary, question for the trustees to consider: In the future, how likely will parents be to spend more than $40,000 on creates

tuition, room, and board to send their children to an institution whose administration ducked as Brodhead’s has over recent months? If a parent has a choice to send their son to, say, Columbia or Duke, how could they possibly send him to Duke after seeing Brodhead’s spinelessness in this affair?

2.) Athletics, the Duke Culture, and Shared Governance. Trustees acting on broad academic matters often yield cries from faculty of the need to respect “shared governance.” Yet at Duke, the Group of 88 and other assorted professors, most notably Orin Starn and Peter Wood, have exploited the lacrosse controversy to build support for their campaign to transform Duke into a functional equivalent of Haverford. As Brodhead and the trustees have stood idly by, these rogue faculty members have claimed they should essentially call all the important shots on campus, including the power to regulate intercollegiate athletics—traditionally not an arena assigned to faculty oversight. In the process, they have made a mockery of the principle of “shared governance.”

A July N&Q editorial by Stam summarized the basic position of the anti-athletics faculty: Why do universities lower the admissions bar just because an applicant is good at hitting a ball or running fast? How can athletes hope to receive a well-rounded college education with such heavy team training and travel demands? Couldn’t the millions of dollars a year Duke hands out in athletics scholarships be better spent on scholarships for deserving

candidates from minority and other underrepresented groups based on academic merit and other achievements?

The first two questions would be relevant if any evidence existed that Duke had lowered the bar to admit lacrosse players; or that lacrosse players performed poorly in class, and therefore didn’t seem to receive a “well-rounded college education.” Unfortunately for Starn and his allies, the findings of the Coleman Committee suggested the opposite, on both matters.

As to Starn’s third

question, I’d be stunned if Duke already didn’t spend large

amounts of money on “scholarships for deserving candidates from minority and other underrepresented groups.” Nearly every elite university does. But if Duke is

currently miserly in its financial aid policies toward “deserving candidates from minority and other underrepresented groups,” it’s not clear to me how becoming a Durham version of Haverford will rectify that problem.

For better or worse, a first-class athletics program has been critical to Duke’s public image in the last 20 years. Stanford is the only other school to combine academic and athletic excellence in this way; Northwestern, Virginia, and UNC do so somewhat less successfully. Starn, Wood, and their allies have exploited the lacrosse affair to attack this legacy-even though there is little, or nothing, in this case that supports the specific criticisms Starn, et. al., have made against athletics.

Brodhead’s response on the matter? He seems to view his

authority to set the moral

tone of campus life as consisting of making Olympian pronouncements on the evils of rape, or of locating Shakespearean quotes to describe his personal trials. His refusal to aggressively defend athletics at Duke threatens Duke’s one clear advantage over the Ivies, an element of Duke life that is critical to student recruitment efforts—and, as anyone who watches the students at a Duke basketball game knows, we’re not just talking about recruitment of student-athletes.

Shared governance means just that—governance is supposed to be “shared,” with administrative matters, such as athletics policy, or fundraising, handled primarily by the administration. During the lacrosse affair, the faculty critics of athletics have presented no evidence to suggest that the one legitimate area of faculty concern (lowering admissions standards for athletes) applies in this case. Since Brodhead seems unwilling to come out swinging to uphold the principle of shared governance against the Group of 88 and the Stam/Wood faction, the trustees must act.

3.) Future legal liability

for

Duke. Among the few offenses for which tenured

faculty can be fired is harassing students. As time passes, more and more details are

emerging about ugly actions by Duke faculty in the few weeks after the lacrosse case attracted media attention.

A letter in Duke Magazine described how that History professor Reeve Huston allegedly went after the lacrosse team in his class; a Duke Chronicle article revealed that lacrosse player John Walsh received rude and clearly unprofessional treatment from one ofhis professors. And, I have no doubt, there were more such instances.

How djd Brodhead and the administration respond to this behavior? Initially, they appear to have done nothing. Then, when women’s lacrosse coach Kerstin Kimel complained about widespread unprofessional behavior by faculty, the dean of Trinity College sent a bland email. No evidence exists that Brodhead or any other Duke administrator lifted a finger to deal with faculty members who acted inappropriately.

It gets worse. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, recently stated, “We did hear rumors early on, reports early on, that some faculty members were permitting a potentially hostile situation within a classroom environment.” He gave no indication that these “rumors” were investigated.

Imagine a counterfactual situation in which “rumors” existed that “some faculty

permitting a potentially hostile situation within a classroom environment” toward gays and lesbians; or towards ethnic, religious, or racial minorities. It appears, alas, that enforcement of Duke’s “harassment” policy depends on the targets of the alleged “harassment.” members were

The message: widespread harassment by faculty members against students, on the basis of group membership, was occurring, with professors turning themselves into an arm of the state—and the administration went to sleep at the switch.

The Duke trustees appear to have based their response to this affair on one basic assumption: the case against the three students has some merit. In 99 of 100 occasions, this strategy would be correct. In this case, however, it has turned out to be horribly wrong. And so it’s time for the trustees to reconsider their passive approach.

GLOBAL HEALTH

Overseas efforts put global health in focus by

Jasten McGowan THE CHRONICLE

During the past year, Duke scientists, physicians and medical center administrators have been racking up frequent flyer miles in intimidating numbers—but not for lavish trips to tropical vacation hotspots.

Duke has recently increased its global health research efforts in Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia, sending its scientists to the various locales in order to set up research centers, enhance health care education and increase service opportunities \ for students.

Administrators and new international hires have already begun flocking to the temporary site of the Duke-National University of Singapore’s graduate medical center, where Duke University Medical Center leaders aim to foster global ties and promote Duke’s international image.

The search for internationally renowned hires to work at the school in Singapore—where dozens of famous researchers have relocated in the recent past —is well on its way, administrators said.

“I think we can confidently say research programs will be complementary [between DUMC and Duke-NUS],” said Dr. Sanders Williams, dean of the School of Medicine, who will also serve as the dean of Singapore’s graduate school.

“Cancer research will be firmly on the radar screen, as well as emerging infections—those that can come out of

nowhere—neurobehavioral

disorders,

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, metabolic disorders, eye disorders,” he added.

“We’ve already hired at least one faculty member for each one of those areas.”

Major factors behind Duke’s collaboration with NUS included the nation’s ability to provide human and financial capital to support research, Sanders said.

Human and financial resources will also aid the development of the Center for HIV-AIDS Vaccine Immunology.

Dr. Barton Haynes, associate professor in the Department of Medicine and director of Duke’s Human Vaccine Institute, was selected to lead CHAVI, which has centers in Europe, Australia and other locations around the world.

In a novel approach, involved scientists will study large regional “cohorts” and attempt the difficult task of exploring the earliest stages of HIV, Haynes said.

“There has been a difficulty in doing large-scale genetic studies because the patient resources were restricted in the hands of a lot of different investigators and countries,” said David Goldstein, director ofDuke’s Center for Population Genomics and Pharmacogenetics and the leader of one of the center’s research cores.

The collaboration will allow scientists to explore diversity in strains of HIV, susceptibility to the virus and various other factors in the broad effort to eventually design, develop and test new HIV vaccine candidates.

an increasingly controversial field in today’s world. “Discoveries made in this country can

be brought overseas to have a global health impact—rapidly transmitted to global cornmunities,” he said. “We’d like to be able to learn from other communities globally and reverse the flow of ideas as well.”
