The plan, which will govern the University’s strategic priorities for the next five to eight years, will invest $1.3 billion of strategic funds in student needs, faculty, programming and facilities.

The plan will focus on two broad areas—enhancing the education of Duke students and extending the University’s contributions to society, President Richard Brodhead said.

“The difference at Duke isn’t that we have a strategic plan, the difference at Duke is that Duke tends to do what’s in that strategic plan,” Brodhead said. “I hope that if you come back five years from now you would see all kinds of thoughtful changes—brilliant, inspiring changes that were a result of the clarity of the goals we set ir> the plan.”

Of the plan’s $1.3 billion budget, $350 million is designated for strategic investments for the Central Campus project.

Members of the Duke community gathered Friday evening for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication of Duke University Medical Center’s new 59,000-sq. ft.

The night featured remarks by University leaders in the building’s Champagne courtyard—named in honor of Dean Emerita Mary Champagne—and an interactive tour of the $ 18-million building, which opened its doors to students in early September.

“This is the realization of a dream that’s collective of so many people,” said Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO ofDuke University Health System.

But by the end of the first quarter Saturday, Virginia had capitalized on the Blue Devils’ mistakes and deflated Duke’s newfound confidence. The Cavaliers (2-3, 1-1 in the ACC) rode the momentum of a 17-point first quarter to a 37-0 victory in Wallace Wade Stadium, spoiling Duke’s (0-4, 2-2) homecoming.

Rumsfeld refuses to step down

Iran unflinching in nuclear stance by

Ali Akbar Dareini

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, Iran Iran’s hardline president on Sunday said his country was determined to expand its uranium enrichment program, announcing a plan to produce more nuclear fuel and calling allegations that Tehran was seeking nuclear weapons a “big lie.”

Speaking to professors at Tehran University, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reinforced his rejection of demands by the U.S. and its allies to stop enrichment, saying his country was committed to generating nuclear fuel for electricity.

“Allegations or charges by the United

States that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons is a big lie,” Ahmadinejad said during his speech, which was broadcast on state-run television.

The process of uranium enrichment can be used to produce electricity or build nuclear weapons depending on the level of enrichment. The U.S. alleges Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons, but Iran contends that its program is for peaceful purposes.

Ahmadinejad said in his speech that Iran will hopefully install up to 100,000 centrifuges, which spin uranium gas into enriched material in order to produce nuclear fuel. He did not provide any more details or set a timeline, but installing so

many centrifuges could take several years.

In February, Iran announced for die first time that it produced a batch oflow-enriched uranium, using 164 centrifuges.

It also has said it plans to intall 3,000 centrifuges by the end of the year at its uranium enrichment plant in the central Iranian town of Natanz. Large-scale production of enriched uranium in Natanz would require 54,000 centrifuges.

Iran has been locked in a batde with the United States and some ofits allies over its nuclear program. Tehran defied a U.N. Security Council deadline calling on it to suspend enrichment by Aug. 31 or face possible international sanctions.

NATO to take control in Afghanistan byJimKrane THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan NATO will soon assume direct control over most military operations in Afghanistan, a move that will place 12,000 more U.S. troops under its authority, a spokesman for the alliance said Sunday.

The expansion will consolidate military command under top NATO leader British Lt. Gen. David Richards and phase out the role of U.S. Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, whose troops will be transferred to NATO, said Mark Laity, an alliance spokesman in Kabul.

Of the 40,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan, only 8,000 U.S. troops will function outside NATO control: those tracking al Qaeda terrorists or involved in air operations, Laity said. The overall level of American forces will remain around 20,000.

“In a few days, on a date yet to be declared, you will see the completion of the steady expansion of ISAF,” the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, Laity said.

The command consolidation under NATO confines direct U.S. control to a single chief enclave: the sprawling Ameri-

can base at Bagram. A U.S. Army helicopter unit based at Kandahar airfield also will remain under American oversight, Laity said.

U.S.-operated prisons and interrogation centers at Bagram will remain under U.S. command, while NATO will continue to transfer its detainees to Afghan police.

A forthcoming NATO order will give the exact date of the handover that places 12,000 U.S. troops in eastern Afghanistan headed by U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin Freakley under alliance command.

The NATO expansion into the east was not expected to happen for a few weeks.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, coming under renewed fire for his management of the Iraq war, said Sunday that he is not considering resigning and added that President George W. Bush had called him personally in recent days to express his continued support.

Shiites demand change in Iraq Shiite politicians demanded changes in the Iraqi government Sunday, accusing a Sunni Arab party in the coalition of having ties to terrorism after a leader's bodyguard was arrested on suspicion of planning attacks.

Calls for probe in Foley scandal The White House and Democratic leaders in Congress called Sunday for a criminal probe into the actions of former Rep. Mark Foley.

Foley sent lurid electronic messages to teenage boys in a scandal that has put House Republicans in political peril.

U.S. News ranked Pratt 25th overall when it released its rankings earlier this year—a drop from last year’s spot at 22.

The variation in rankings may come from different evaluation systems, said Rob Clark, Pratt’s associate dean of research.

“There are numerous organizations that develop ranking systems for universities, schools and departments,” Clark wrote in an e-mail. “Ultimately, we must decide what we believe is the best course of action in educating our students here at Duke.”

The annual event, the biggest of its kind in North Carolina, was held on and around Duke’s East Campus, attracting thousands of people from both within the state and as far away as California.

Approximately 6,000 people gathered around Main, Broad and Ninth streets to support the parade in its 22nd year and cheer as the floats drove by. “[The purpose of this event

“We couldn’t pull it off without Duke.”

Stands from a variety of organizations—including churches, political groups and a community rugby club—lined the lawns near the gazebo on East, attracting visitors who turned out for the parade.

PRATT from page 3 has received much attention recently, and the investments students, alumni and parents are making are providing a positive return.

“We have nearly doubled our graduate enrollment during the past five years and are expanding our undergraduate population by 200 students,” Clark said, adding that the school has also nearly doubled its research expenditures over five years.

Araorn Wongsarnpigoon, a second-year graduate student in biomedical engineering, said he applied to Pratt “mainly because of the research.”

“Also, I felt graduate students have a high priority here,” he said. “They really seem concerned for students’ well being.”

Although students said they generally were enthusiastic about Pratt, some voiced surprise when they heard that the school was ranked second in the country.

“Duke is a good school, but there are many other good schools,” said Sidney Lebental, a third-year graduate student in mechanical engineering.

“It seems unrealistic to rank Duke second when there are schools like [the Massachusetts Institute of Technology] out there.”

Pratt freshman Paras Jhaveri said he was unsure whether he will apply to graduate school, but said he was nonetheless impressed by the ranking.

“If Pratt is this good, I would definitely want to go back to Duke for another few years,” Jhaveri said.

Senior Karthik Balasubramanian said he has had a great academic experience as an undergraduate in Pratt.

“I’m sure the graduate program is just as solid since many of the professors who teach us also teach graduate students,” he said.

Despite Pratt’s achievement in the rankings, Clark said the school will continue to make changes and

adaptations.

“We will continue to invest in our undergraduate and graduate programs... leveraging the many opportunities for multidisciplinary research and education afforded by our collaborations with colleagues across this campus that make Duke University unique,” Clark said.

Dzau said the University’s recent inin the school and a re-evaluation of its role within DUMC have resulted in a “renaissance.” He pointed out the new building’s unique features, including its location at the center of Duke’s medical center community.

Located on Trent Drive near the existing School of Nursing structures, the building brings together facilities that were currently scattered among five buildings, said President Richard Brodhead, who also spoke at the event. “[The school] had the spirit... but lacked the housing to fully support its role within the medical center,” Brodhead said.

Brodhead said the new facility appears on the cover of Duke’s financial statement this year, and said that it is a“milestone” for the University and its medical center.

Students present at the event said updated spaces and centralized resources were two of the most important perks of the new building.

“There’s a kind of synergy from having students at different levels working in the same environment,” said Wonne Ford, one of five nursing Ph.D. students in the school’s new program. “It’s important for students to not only interact in general, but to be able to plan and inspire one another.”

Ford, who also attended Duke’s nursing school in order to earn a masters degree in nursing, said her past experience as a researcher and student was an isolated one, adding that the school’s unique features such as the facility’s open spaces have already contributed to a “more lively” community.

Those the touring facility’s “state-of-the-art” laboratories and classrooms Friday saw a number of research presentations and interactive displays.

Students performed anesthesia procedures, mock patient resuscitations and birthing simulations for guests after remarks by administrators.

Gilliss concluded the event by expressing an optimistic vision for the future of the School of Nursing.

“When my parents dropped me off at Hanes House in the fall of 1973,1 could have never imagined our role within Duke,” Gilliss said. “We have a place that we can call home, a place for education, a place where we can find one another.” vestments

ciation. “[lt is] an opportunity to embrace tolerance and diversity.”

Even though Duke students were the minority at Saturday’s festival, those who showed up enjoyed the event. “[The parade] adds color, acceptance tolerance and confidence,” senior Patrick Phelan said.

Some students also said they were attracted by the novelty of the parade.

“It is good to see new things you never see in a conservative state,” said freshman Johnny Lai, a native ofAlabama.

Other students voiced similar opinions.

“I wouldn’t expect this in Durham,” freshman Philip Gnaedig said.

Although some praised the message of acceptance, members of the conservative religious group Operation Save America stood on the sidewalk heckling participants in the parade.

Group members broadcasted through a megaphone that homosexuality is a sin “with severe unintended consequences.”

Flip Benham, director of Operation Save America, said homosexuals are not at fault, but that they will suffer the consequences of their actions.

“Jesus loves you, unconditioned, your sin is going to kill you, you are free to

allotted for modernizing facilities.

To attain its objectives, the plan oudines strategies to achieve six academic goals.

In the plan, the University aims to: create a Faculty Enhancement Initiative that commits $lOO million to the hiring, retention and support of faculty; develop interdisciplinary programs to strengthen Duke’s engagement in realworld issues; nurture a passion among undergraduates for learning and making a difference in the world; attract the best graduate and professional students through increased financial support and stronger programs; transform the arts at Duke through enhanced programming and research; and lead and innovate in creating, managing and delivering scholarly resources.

The goals are also supported by six lasting themes laid out in the plan: interdisciplinarity; knowledge in the service of society; the enduring importance of the humanities; internationalization; diversity; and affordability and access.

“Making a Difference” is the University’s first strategic plan under Brodhead, who said he already had some of these goals in mind when he assumed the presidency in July 2004.

“They’re Duke themes and aspirations that I’ve found especially compelling and that I believe will be crucial to the future evolution of universities,” Brodhead

Second, the name of the plan itself, “Making a Difference,” implies that Duke’s impact in research and planning will be felt not only on campus but also throughout the public sector. Specifically, the focus on global health and service learning assures a positive future impact on Durham itself.

Finally,' the plan anchors many of its tenets on the construction of the new Central Campus. While many Duke and Durham community members have remained skeptical of the timeliness or poten—

The efficacy of this plan, then, should tie direcdy into the success of a new Central, and thus students should be heartened by the fact that the Board of Trustees views partial construction of Central as a

under this plan.

Students should hope that the past successes of the University in handling strategic initiatives hold true for the current one.

This—the first strategic plan since Brodhead’s arrival in 2004—will prove slightly more difficult to quantify in terms of success, but will provide an inspiring vision for the future of Duke. *

new ways to reinforce them.

Several major initiatives are sketched toward this end. Six areas of academia receive specific mention: For faculty hiring, a $lOO million initiative; for interdisciplinary studies, more real-world problem-solving plans; for undergraduates, more focus on having an impact on the world around them; for graduate and professional students, greater efforts at recruitment and integration in the community; for the arts, more programming and funding; and for innovative learning, a greater effort to improve library and scholarly resources.

Students who review these aspects of the new strategic plan will come away with several encouraging observations.

First, since faculty hiring in general over the last two

Duke’s sidewalk plan inadequate The Pedestrian Plan that Duke recently submitted to Durham’s Development Review Board for approval is woefully inadequate.

Duke’s plan leaves off a significant number of future sidewalks—which gives the University a pass on sidewalk requirements outlined in Durham’s ordinance.

In public hearings, Duke has repeatedly affirmed the importance of sidewalks and pedestrian connectivity. A review of its pedestrian plan suggests that talk is cheap.

According to local officials, Duke seems to be working behind the scenes to avoid building sidewalks near its projects. Here are three examples: 1. Although a sidewalk is required in Duke’s current site plan for the new Center for Integrative Medicine, the University is trying to eliminate a sidewalk along Cameron Boulevard, undermining an important integrative characteristic of the new center. Local officials have indicated that Duke wants to re-submit a site plan that will omit the sidewalk (based on the new, weaker requirements in Duke’s proposed pedestrian plan). One negative effect of this change is that it would be more dangerous for the many people who walk along Cameron Boulevard to football games and other events at Wallace Wade stadium.

2. Duke was also supposed to build a sidewalk in front recently expanded and renovated Washington Duke Inn on Cameron Boulevard, a big money maker for the non-profit University. While the local planning ordinance states that Duke’s new sidewalks must have the same functionality as conventional sidewalks, Duke is trying to argue that the jogging trail fulfills this requirement. Some must wonder how a dirt trail covered with mulch that goes back into the woods is the same thing as a paved, allweather, pedestrian-friendly sidewalk along Cameron Boulevard.

3. Duke is trying to argue that the gravel trail around the inside of the East Campus wall serves the same function as a sidewalk and that therefore, Duke shouldn’t have to build sidewalks around East Campus. While the gravel trail inside the East Campus wall might be suitable for joggers and dog walkers, it is not the same as a sidewalk designed to facilitate pedestrian traffic.

Does Duke seriously expect a pedestrian —a parent pushing a baby stroller—to climb over the wall at the corner in order to walk along

Buchanan, Markham, Broad, or Swift?

Finally, with regards to the Central Campus redevelopment, concerned neighbors have asked Duke several times to pay special attention to the northern pedestrian portals at Anderson Street and at Ninth Street. Duke officials have assured us they will attend to these matters—assurances that are called into question as Duke’s recent efforts to avoid including adequate, appropriate sidewalks in their site plans come to light. Instead of trying to save money, Duke should create a safer environment for students, visitors, fans and neighbors. Instead of scaling back their commitments to sidewalks, Duke should be working even harder to build better, pedestrian-friendly bridges with Durham.

John Schelp Resident, Old West Durham Neighborhood Column perpetuates problems with IsraelPalestine debate I was troubled by Andrew Gerst’s Sept. 27 column “44 for divestment owe apology” for one reason: It seemed to attack faculty simply for disagreeing with him. Gerst neglected to inform us of conditions within the occupied territories, such as military checkpoints, increasing poverty, the diversion of water resources and the supposed use of American equipment, such as Caterpillar bulldozers, to demolish the homes of Palestinians (those in favor of divestment elude to this over and over again). As I understood it, that was a major component of this issue. Throughout the article, Gerst overwhelms the reader with vague references and loaded rhetoric, something that incessantly plagues any dialogue about the Middle East. As a member of the University community, I would not like an apology from my professors for expressing their opinion via a petition, but I do believe they deserve an apology from Andrew Gerst.

D-U-K-E: Who’d you actually come to see?

The

last few days have been a truly exciting time

to be on Duke’s campus. This past weekend, in case you were unaware, was Homecoming

weekend, which, as far as I’ve learned, means pretty much nothing to students on campus. It also happened to be Oktoberfest, the German holiday that couldn’t have been promoted more heavily by the

University despite the tac"t that lat u it litIe f erally reeks of underage drinldng.

A I have so many funny stories from this weekend, I wouldn’t even know where to partially bemonday, monday cause I can’t exactthe morning wood ly remember the of beginnings most of them. One story, however, is worth mentioning. While watching the dodgeball tournament sponsored by everybody’s favorite core-four sorority, AOPi, I noticed myself standing next to none other than the Dick Brodhead.

My team was next to play, and one of my friends casually stumbled over to me and declared, “Oh man, I’m so f@#sed up, I don’t think I can play.” He then dry heaved a couple of times and started making what appeared to be some kind of gargling noise.

I looked up to find Old Dick juststaring in disbelief... or perhaps disgust. It’s sometimes difficult to interpret that man, I feel. Anyway, I just couldn’t help but wonder what was going through his head.

How could he possibly leave that situation without an immense loss ofDuke pride? Heck, even I was a little embarrassed, and I wasn’t exactly sober in my

own right.

Anyway, given the opportunity, I felt I should say something to him, or at least ask him a question. I started racking my brain trying to recall anything I’d read in The Chronicle or some kind of news I could bring up, but the only thing I could remember was that safe sex study of colleges that just came out... not exactly the topic I wanted to bring up with Dick.

If you are unaware, there was a survey recendy released that said Duke was rated No. 8 in terms of safe sex or something like that. Is this something we should be proud of? I mean, it’s not like I’m rooting for myself to go out Thursday night and bring home a burner, but seriously, nothing spices up the night like a fun game of pull and prey.

What does it say about us if we’re one of the best schools at having safe sex? That doesn’t sound all

that sweet. Isn’t battling STDs part of the college exam I ever supposed to handle Wall Street ifI never learned how to handle the clap?

In hind site, I should’ve asked Dick about tailgate the next day, see if I could get a little preview of the ALE situation. I guess I was still a bit skeptical of the whole thing.

As it turned out, tailgate was awesome. The only thing that appeared to be different was the location. There was also a giant separation of tailgate crowds, which really pissed me off. I spent time at both venues, and they were equally fun. If the two had been combined, it would’ve seemed as if nothing had changed.

I also noticed a severe lacking in port-a-potties. I didn’t mind this so much; however, the five-year-old girl who turned out to be hiding behind a tree I was peeing 0n... she might be haunted for a while.

The third thing I noticed before blacking out in the back of a pickup-truck-turned-ice-box was all the fun UVa supporter. There was a bunch of UVa dads with young children just chilling in the middle of tailgate, drinking in a crowd of teenagers. Surprisingly, I didn’t see the Iron Dukes anywhere near the back of the Blue Zone.

A lot of the ACC footballfans who pack our own stadium in all colors not dark blue are down to get sloppy. I say we embrace them, embrace our pathetic team, embrace our situation and we make tailgate as big as we can.

To do this, we just completely cheer for the opposing team every week. If N.C. State comes to play, we all wear red..lf Wake comes, we wear gold and black. If UNC comes... well, I don’t know ifI could ever get myself to root for UNC. The point is, we cheer for whatever opposition comes to play as if they were our own.

It’s a win-win, really. On one hand, we get to watch our favorite team dominate week in and week out. On the other, tailgate becomes the madness it so deserves to be, as crowds triple in size once the opposing fans begin flocking to this extra home game. Plus, how can tailgate be regulated if half the people aren’t even affiliated with Duke?

And to anyone who tells me that I shouldn’t give up on my own team, you can S my D. I’m at Duke for four years, and all I wanna do is have a little fun before I graduate, and if that means I need to completely sell out my own University and in the process lose all credibility as a true Duke fan, then so be it. I’m just trying to get crunk.

Clinton is the front-runner for the next Democratic

presidential nomination, but suddenly this is John Ed-

wards’ party. If you look across the states where the party is being defined in 2006, you find candidates who sound a lot more like him than her.

Democrats are running strong Senate campaigns in the upper South (James Webb in Virginia, Harold Ford in Tennessee), in the big job-loss states (Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Claire McCaskill in MisDavid brooks souri) and even in a few places the new york times out West (Jon Tester in Montana). And in each case, the candidates are running as factory-floor populists who would throw up if they had to sit through a Renaissance Weekend.

Hillary Clinton is a well educated professional who was influenced by the values politics of the 1960s and ’7os. But most of today’s strong Democratic candidates are traditionalist manly men who give the impression that if they had been involved in the Chicago riots, they would have been on the side of the cops, not the hippies. The Claritas research firm segments the country into different psychodemographic clusters. Today’s most prominent Democratic candidates are more Mines and Mills than Towns and Gowns.

The Democrats were once a free trade party. But Sherrod Brown wrote a book called Myths ofFree Trade: Why American Trade Policy Has Failed, and most of this year’s strong Democratic candidates rail—like John Edwards—against outsourcing and trade agreements. Their core issue is the economic resentment of the struggling middle class. Brown recently explained die political strategy to a gathering of liberal journalists: “I know that trade issues work with white male, nonunion, culturally conservative voters because they know how anxious trade issues have made them and their families.”

Many of this year’s prominent candidates are also surprisingly nationalist on immigration, playing off concerns about declining wages. “I do believe we must gain control of our borders,” Webb said during a debate. “We also must gain control over corporate America’s use of illegals. This, along with the Iraq war, has been the major failure of this administration.”

On social issues, most of them are not exactly singing from the hymnal of the highly educated coastal elites. “I believe marriage should only be between men and women,” Ford declares on the stump. “I don't know any better; that’s how I was brought up. We didn’t have any choice. Where I grew up, when you awakened on Sunday, you went to church. I learned the faith thing the old-fashioned way.”

On Iraq, most are leaning toward the Edwards posidon. Unlike Hillary Clinton, Edwards has disavowed his earlier support for the war. He calls for an immediate withdrawal of 40,000 troops and complete withdrawal within a year or so. But several candidates are careful to show they are not in the pocket of the ACLU. Both Sherrod Brown and Harold Ford voted with President Bush on the military tribunal bill.

In sum, their message is a long way from the globalized Third Way politics Bill Clinton and Tony Blair exemplified in the 19905.

It’s also a long way from the secular, multicultural liberalism that has alienated religious voters in droves.

Will it work politically? There’s some evidence that it can.

Michael Barone of U.S. News & World Report.has noticed that so far Democrats are doing surprisingly well in rural America, where this economically progressive, socially traditionalist populism goes down well. Moreover, if Brown’s economic populism can’t win in a factory-decimated state like Ohio in a political climate like the one we have now, then it can’t win anywhere, ever.

And yet Democrats have reason to worry long term. This message is based on a sort of economic nostalgia, what The Economist called a “rose-tinted version of the 1950s and 1960s”—when the middle class prospered, families cohered, America dominated, unions thrived, Islam was invisible and immigrants were Irish and Italian.

This nostalgia is certainly common today. In their must-read book, Applebee’s America, Doug Sosnik, Matt Dowd and Ron Fournier quote an anxious Michigan voter: “This is going to sound silly, but I wish things were like they were when we were growing up. I wish I could go back in time. We had stable lives.

Mom could stay home, and we could afford it. Life was slower.”

But nationwide, and in the decades ahead, can a politics that evades the modern realities of Islamic extremism and the skillbased global economy really be the basis of a majority movement? I doubt it.

Duke wins at UNC for Ist time in 9 seasons by

Katie Riera

THE CHRONICLE

Duke not only shut out North Carolina, 3-0, Saturday, but also shut up the Carolinaclad crowd when the Blue Devils dominated the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill.

Surrounded by a sea of powder blue, any Duke cheers were drowned out by a raucous Carolina crowd. But even the Tar Heel fans’- inces-

could not stop the Blue Devils from winning their first match in Carmichael Auditorium in nine years.

The sweep, which gives Duke a 1.5-0 lead in the Carlyle Cup, also marked head coach Jolene Nagel’s first victory on Carolina turf at the helm of the Blue Devils.

“They’ve had some really strong teams at Carolina since I’ve been at Duke,” Nagel said. “This is a difficult place to play.... So, you really have to have the focus that you need in order to be able play how we’re capable. And I just think our team did a great job of that tonight, controlling the tempo of the match and being aggressive.”

Duke (11-2, 4-0 in the ACC) never trailed in the match. North Carolina (3-11, 1-4) managed to knot the score once—tying the first game at one —but that was the closest the Tar Heels would come for the remaining two games.

“Anytime you can beat Carolina... that’s huge,” sophomore Sue Carls said. “This rivalry is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and to come in here with the elements all against you... and to just pull out with a huge win in three is unbelievable.”

UNC

Q

After winning the first game 30-21, the Blue Devils allowed no room for a momentum change in the second game, going on a 10-3 run to end the game for a 30-16 win.

In the third game, Duke scored the first four points to take control early on. After extending the lead to 10 points, Carolina managed to come within five points before the Blue Devils responded with a 5-1 run to end the game, 30-21. Keeping her composure on the offensive and defensive ends, freshman Rachael Moss finished the night with a team- and career-high 15 kills and a team-high 16 digs in her first taste of the rivalry.

“I’ve heard about the rivalry, but I haven’t really experienced it first hand,” Moss said. “I look at it as a semi-friendly, over-town rivalry and I liked all the fans booing and doing all that stuff.... It motivated me.”

The vocal crowd presence failed to break the focus of Moss’ fellow Blue Devils.

Junior Carrie DeMange recorded her eighth double-double with 14 kills and 13 digs, while tallying seven of Duke’s nine team blocks. Carls slammed home 12 kills, and junior Ali Hausfeld finished with a match-high 43 assists.

The crowd—with a small contingent of mostly Duke pep band members to counter the Carolina mass —fed the Blue Devils’ momentum and pumped up the team.

“What was really great was that we had a bunch of students that actually came here from Duke,” Hausfeld said. “A lot of us just like the noise—whether they’re yelling against us or for us—the noise just gets the energy going.”

MEN'S SOCCER

Blue Devils held scoreless in loss toTerps Taylor Field THE CHRONICLE

by

Duke ran into an increasingly familiar problem Friday, as it failed to finish on any scoring opportunities against last year’s national champions.

The Blue Devils were unable to overcome a Maryland goal in the 14th DUKE minute MARYLAND 1 Friday and fell, 1-0. No. 14 Duke (7-2-1, 2-1-1 in the ACC) controlled the first 10 minutes of the game, but after the No. 3 Terrapins (10-1, 3-1) scored on a header off a corner kick early on, the Blue Devils could not erase the deficit.

“Before the goal, it seemed like we had more control of the game—we were possessing the ball more and controlling the field,” Duke junior Michael Videira said. “We had them in a corner until the goal, but they slowly got more momentum as we lost it. The rest of the game was pretty back and forth, but we definitely lost the initial momentum we had.”

In their last three games, the Blue Devils have scored just one goal, which came in the 77th minute of a 1-0 victory over Boston College. The win Friday was the seventh shutout of the season for Maryland, as the Terps topped Duke 12-11 in shots and 5-3 in shots on goal.

“They got a goal on a corner kick and made it stand up,” head coach John Rennie said. “Now

Two Blue Devils nearly reached the ball to get a shot off, but Terrapin goalie Chris Seitz got his hands on the loose ball first. After some jostling, the ball was knocked free, but it eventually got headed back to the keeper, and the Duke opportunity was lost.

“Right now, we’re having a tough time finishing the final shot,” Videira said. “We’re not having trouble putting together plays or building our attack. I guess luck just isn’t going our way, but I don’t think were doing anything differendy from the beginning of the season.”

Duke rolls past Wolfpack for 3rd ACC victory by

Gabe Starosta

THE CHRONICLE

Unlike its thrilling last-minute victory over Boston College Thursday night, Duke didn’t need a flying header to

beat N.C. State Sunday.

Riding high off their hard-fought victory over the Eagles, the Blue Devils earned their third ACC win when they downed the Wolfpack, 3-0, in Koskinen Stadium.

Duke (7-4-1, 3-1 in the ACC) jumped out to an early advantage and never allowed N.C. N.CSTATE State (6-3-2,1-2) in the game. The Blue Devils dominated possesDUKE sion, earning seven comer kicks to the Wolfpack’s one and recording six shots on goal.

“We started off great because N.C. State has had some good wins this year,” head coach Robbie Church said. “We just took them right completely out of the game at the beginning. We did some very good things. Overall, I thought it was an absolutely great effort.”

The Blue Devils took an early lead when freshman Elisabeth Redmond connected on a lefty strike just 12 minutes into the match. After Duke pressured the Wolfpack goal for several minutes, freshman Sarah Murphy hit a long ball from near midfield and Redmond ran up to it just inside the penalty area before blasting it into the topright corner.

“It was a great shot,” head coach Robbie Church said.

“She turned, came in and just caught the thing. It was like a laser.... It was an key early goal and we started playing with a lot more confidence after it.”

Thirty minutes into the first half, sophomore Lorraine Quinn chipped a cross from the left wing toward the penalty spot. Balding a Blue Devil, N.C. State defender Jessica O’Rourke leapt to head the ball away, but she put it past her own keeper, Megan Connors. The mishap put

Duke ahead 2-0.

Confident in their lead, the Blue Devils utilized several substitutes late in the first half.

Duke continued to attack the N.C. State goal in the second half and capped off its scoring 25 minutes into the period Senior Lauren Tippets beat a defender around the right wing and centered for freshman KayAnne Gummersall. The forward tapped the ball past Connors, marking the second goal scored by a Blue Devil freshman in the match.

“They have just been unbelievable,” senior captain Darby Kroyer said of the team’s freshmen. “We really needed them, having lost such key players this year, and they have filled those roles and gone far beyond.”

The day’s lone attack for the visitors came in the 23rd minute of the second half when midfielder Tami Krzeszewski got behind Duke’s Rachel-Rose Cohen and shot wide of the post. But the Blue Devils came right back on the offensive, and Gummersall scored two minutes later to seal the victory.

Church said he was satisfied with Duke’s improvement since its 1-0 loss to Virginia on the road Sept 24.

“It has been great,” Church said. “I cannot ask for anything else. We have two wins, two shutouts, created a number of opportunities and scored on those opportunities.”

Duke, which is currently ranked just outside the top 25, recorded 19 shots on the day and held the Wolfpack to just four.

With four conference games under their belt—three of them wins—the Blue Devils have a solid start on their conference schedule. Duke will now begin preparing for No. 2 North Carolina, which will travel down Tobacco Road to take on the Blue Devils Sunday at 2:00 p.m in Koskinen.

Four fumbled snaps, three interceptions, a blocked punt, untimely penalties, 100 total yards of offense and no redzone visits summed up Duke’s homecoming game.

“It’s obvious we can’t make mistakes like that and beat anybody,” Roof said. “We’re going through some growing pains right now, and we had hoped they wouldn’t take us where they did.”

Three weeks ago, Lewis racked up over 300 yards passing, threw for the team’s only touchdown of the season and had no turnovers. Saturday, the freshman accounted for five—three interceptions and two fumbles.

“I thought we were ready to play,” Roof said. “I thought we were well prepared. Then we did some things on the game field that we haven’t been doing on the practice field.”

Virginia.

After Virginia muffed a punt return late in the

first quarter, Duke recovered the ball and had its best field position of the game. On their first snap of the series, the Blue Devils ran a trick play—Lewis handed the ball off to tailback Justin Boyle, who quickly pitched it back—that resulted in an intercepted pass thrown into double coverage. The turnover swiftly ended one of Duke’s prime scoring chances.

Two of the Blue Devils’ deepest drives into Virginia territory were stalled by untimely penalties. Midway through the second quarter, a 16yard pass that would have put Duke at the Cavaliers’ 25-yard line was negated by.a holding penalty. Later, a 21-yard pass that would have also put the Blue Devils in field-goal range was similarly nullified.

Duke has shown the offensive potential to score at times throughout the season but seems prone to committifig mental and physical errors at costly times. It is unclear whether the players or coaches are at fault for the ongoing mistakes, but five weeks into the season, it is clear that the Blue Devils have yet to adequately address them.

To fix an offense that is averaging less than four points per game, Duke must go back to work.

“That is what we do and what we are about,” Roof said about his team’s resiliency. “There is no other standard and option. That is it. I expect us to come back and play a lot better next Saturday.”

If Duke could not stay close to a weak 1-3 Virginia team with two weeks to prepare, then it seems unlikely that one weekis sufficient time for the Blue Devils to improve enough to compete with a top-tier program like Alabama.

Duke’s winless play has raised many questions, and to this point in the season, Roof and the rest of the Blue Devils don’t seem to have the answers.

THE CHRONICLE

Duke ended its bid at the UNC Fall Invitational a day early, as junior Alex Stone dropped in the second round of his singles bracket Saturday.

Stone fell to South Carolina’s Pedro Campos, 6-4,7-6, a day after swinging past Felix Insaurralde of East Tennessee State, 6-4, 6-3, in Friday’s first rouftd of Flight A-2 singles.

“That match was even closer than the scores would indicate,” Stone said of his second-round loss. [Campos] played very well on big points. I struggled on my serves at the end of both sets. I had my opportunities, but he just outplayed me toward the end.”

The three-day competition —which concluded Sunday—was held at North Carolina’s Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.

The tournament drew players from 17 schools competing in brackets of six singles flights and three doubles flights. Duke originally entered two players —Stone'and junior Ned Samuelson—into the competition hoping to secure a trophy for the Blue Devils.

Samuelson was slated to compete with Stone in the doubles bracket but withdrew “

prior to the tournament due to illness, head coach Jay Lapidus said.

As for Stone’s performance, Lapidus said he was pleased with how his player handled the matches.

“He had a good win in the first round,”

Lapidus said. “Alex got a litde bit of confidence going in both his matches—he’s been improving throughout the fall.”

Lapidus added that Stone will need to improve his mental game for future competitions, as the junior attempts to im-

prove upon his 6-4 singles record from a year ago.

“He’s a real perfectionist, and you can’t always be perfect,” Lapidus said. “I think he needs to continue to work on trying to play relaxed on the court.”

Stone said he played better matches this past weekend than at his first two tournaments this season, where he said he “really played below [his] potential.” Stone took the summer off from competitive play while completing an internship.

“A month into the season, I feel like I’m really starting to get my game back, and I hope to play better in the next couple of tournaments,” Stone said. “I thought I finally got my nerves in control on the court, and that really helped me play loose in both matches.”

As for now, Stone said he will relax and cheer for his teammates who are competing this week at Tulsa’s ITA All-American Tournament. Five Blue Devils —freshman Dylan Arnould, sophomore Kiril Dimitrov, junior David Goulet and seniors Joey Atas and Peter Rodrigues —will see action on the courts.

“I hope they’ll do well out there,” Stone said. “Hopefully they’ll get. some good wins.”

The women’s and men’s cross country teams finished in fifth and 10th places, respectively, against strong fields Friday at the Bill Dellinger Invitational in Eugene, Ore. The fifth-ranked women’s team was once again paced by senior Emily McCabe and sophomore Maddie McKeever. The two have combined to take first and second place for the Blue Devils in each of their first three meets this year.

“It’s still early on in the season,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “The first few girls are right where they need to be.”

McCabe finished the six kilometer run third overall with a time of 20:31.68, while McKeever placed 19th with a time of

21:09.61. Freshman Kate Van Buskirk and senior File Pishny competed for the first time this fall, placing third and fourth for the Blue Devils and 27th and 35th overall.

Jermyn said he viewed the meet as a “stepping stone” to help prepare the team for the level of competition they will face at nationals in seven weeks.

The men’s team finished 10th place out of 13 teams in an eightkilometer race that featured 7 nationally-ranked squads. The Blue Devils accomplished one of their major goals by beating a nationally-ranked opponent in No. 30 American.

Junior Chris Spooner finished first for Duke, placing 38th overall with a time of 24:13.92 in the 8K race. Spooner was followed

In addition to the strong performances from Spooner and Krieger, sophomore Geary Gubbins placed third for Duke and 51st overall in his first meet back from injury.

“We performed pretty much about where people expected us to,” men’s head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “We feel like we’ve got the right personnel out there now. We feel we’ve got a team that is capable of qualifying for the NCAA meet in November.”

The men will be back in action Oct. 7 at the Hagan Stone Park Cross County Classic in Greensboro, N.C., and the women will next compete at the Chile Pepper Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., Oct. 14.
