COURTESY OF BADJOCKS.COM

The outing of photos like the one above of Northwestern's women's soccer team has caused schools like Duke to warn student athletesabout their online behavior.

When the words “Duke Lacrosse” were becoming part of America’s lexicon last spring, Bob Reno had an idea. What would happen, Reno wondered, if he were to type those words into the search engine of webshots.com?

With rumors circulating in the first days after the incident became public that the party might have been a team initiation ritual, Reno, helped by a frequent viswebsite itor to his burgeoning for phosearching badjocks.com, began tos from the party.

“If the lacrosse thing had been an initiation—the lapse between the time when the party happened and when people were getting arrested—it would be quite

common for students to post those pictures online,” Reno said. “I thought I could really break a huge picture online from the stripper incident.”

Reno did not find exacdy what he was looking for—as far as he could tell, there were no pictures of the March 13 party posted on the Internet. But the effort was not fruidess as Reno discovered “thousands” of inappropriate photos of athletes—many at major universities—posted on webshots.com. The photos included everything from approved team activities, to underage drinking, to serious hazing violations.

2 Turks hijack jet to protest Pope's visit Karlitekin, chairman of Turkish Airlines’

by Max Frigione THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRINDISI, Italy Two Turks protesting Pope Benedict XVl’s planned trip to Turkey next month hijacked a Turkish Airlines jet carrying 113 people from Albania to Istanbul on Tuesday, and it landed safely in this southern Italian coastal city, officials said.

The hijackers, who were unarmed, began releasing passengers from the Boeing 737-400, which was parked on the tarmac in the darkness. A fire truck carrying Brindisi airport’s chief of security had pulled up near the jet.

The hijackers had told authorities they were prepared to surrender, said Candan

board of directors.

He said no one aboard was injured Albanian lawmaker Sadri Abazi, who was aboard the plane, told News24 in Tirana in a brief cell phone call during the hijacking that his fellow passengers were shaken but safe.

“Of course there is panic around, people are afraid, no information at all, but no one has been injured. [The hijackers] are both at the pilots’ cabin and only one of them came out briefly,” Abazi told the TV station.

When asked about the hijacking, a Vatican official said he expected no changes in Benedict’s plans for the visit. The official,

who asked that his name not be used because of the sensitivity of the issue, said an official Vatican announcement that the trip would take place Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 would be made soon.

“Preparations are going ahead,” said another Vatican official, Rev. Federico Lombardi. “It is our hope the trip will be made as planned.”

In Turkey, Vatican Embassy official Monsignor Georges Marovitch expressed concern at the hijacking.

“We’re worried, these are not nice things,” Marovitch said by telephone. “But if the Turkish state gives a guarantee for his security, then I guess he would come.”

N. Korea conducts nuclear test North Korea triggered global alarm on Tuesday by saying it will conduct a nuclear test, a key step in the manufacture of atomic bombs that it views as a deterrent against any U.5. attack. But the North also said it was committed to nuclear disarmament, suggesting a willingness to negotiate.

Court opens with deportation debate by

Mark Sherman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Supreme Court justices wrestled Tuesday with the question of whether convictions for minor crimes should force immigrants’ deportation.

The first case in a term expected to make clearer the court’s direction under Chief Justice John Roberts.

Thousands of immigrants who have run afoul of the law, some for possessing small amounts of drugs, could be affected by the outcome of Tuesday’s arguments.

The second year of Roberts’ tenure began with little drama, just a brief wel-

come to visiting jurists from India.

Eight justices, all but the habitually quiet Clarence Thomas, took part in questioning lawyers from both sides as the Bush administration asserted that immigrants convicted of state drug felonies are deportable even if the same crimes are considered only misdemeanors under federal law.

Jose Antonio Lopez, of Sioux Falls, S.D., was ordered deported after he pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting possession ofcocaine.

The crime is a felony under South Dakota state law, but only a misdemeanor

under the federal Controlled Substances Act if it is a first offense for cocaine possession, as it was in Lopez’ case.

“The problem here is that state law and federal law are at odds in determining the gravity of the offense,” Justice David Souter said.

Several justices said they were troubled that immigration authorities would treat differently two people who commit the same crime in different states that hand out different penalties.

Federal appeals courts have split over interpreting the immigration law at issue in the case.

Prisoners'mail not screened The U.S. Bureau of Prisons is not translating and screening all mail to and from the highest-risk inmates for evidence of criminal activity, and that is a risk to national security, a Justice Department review concluded Tuesday.

N.C. State considers frat chan es Self-reports of cheating drop in ’O5

BY SHREYA Kao THE CHRONICLE

With outdated houses and stagnant enrollment numbers, greek organizations at North Carolina State University are calling for support.

Though the prospect of wide-scale renovations is uncertain, the possibility of change is creating a stir in Raleigh.

Keith Nichols, director of news and communication at N.C. State, said that although the condition ofhouses is one reason for possible renovations, reversing the declining rates of enrollment in greek groups is a secondary goal.

In recent years, N.C. State greek enrollment rates have dropped, with 8.57 percent of the student body registered as greek in 2006. Less than eight percent of men and 10 percent of women were enrolled.

Of the 15 houses in Fraternity Court—a winding road on N.C. State’s South Cambuilt between 1962 and pus—l 2 1964. Some students and administrators have complained about the condition of these older houses.

“The buildings there are dated and it is time to address their deficiencies,” Nichols said.

Despite complaints regarding the state of some houses, some students said Fraternity Court fosters interactions between students.

“Having a centralized location is a good idea because it tends to bring different fraternities and sororities together,” said Wran Metzler, an N.C. State Junior and member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. “It is a good place to party and have that interaction.”

John Mountz, director of greek life at N.C. State, said Greek Life representatives met last week with some of the school’s trustees to discuss the possibility ofUniversity-funded renovations.

No decision has been made and no dmeline was given for a potential project.

Nichols said any project would probably include money for tearing down the current houses and building new recreational and leisure facilities nearby. He added that N.C. State would enter into a contract with national greek organizations that would allow them to build

In return for paying for the construction of the houses, chapters would be charged only $1 a year in rent instead of the $llO,OOO to $150,000 chapters currently pay to rent the university-owned houses. Nichols said this practice is common on campuses where chapters own their own houses.

Duke does not have a system for greek organizations comparable to N.C. State’s Fraternity Court. A number of Duke students and administrators said such a system would be impractical. “[This model] divides or makes it so the community isn’t as fluid or dynamic as it could be,” said senior Chauncey Nartey, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Campus Culture Initiative Steering Committee.

Duke enrollment numbers for the 2005-2006 academic year revealed 42 percent of undergraduate women and 30

percent of undergraduate men were members of greek organizations.

Todd Adams, assistant dean of students for fraternity and sorority life, said the discrepancy between Duke and N.C. State enrollment rates can be attributed to Duke’s smaller student body and its traditionally prominent greek

community.

“For the most part, greeks provide the majority of social life,” Nartey said. “So long as there are greek organizations, they are probably going to provide the dominant social scene.”

Interfraternity Council President Ivan Mothershead, a senior, said the organizations also have a role outside social life. “[The goal of Greeks is] to come together toward certain values and embody those values through leadership, community service, philanthropy, sports and camaraderie,” Mothershead said.

For many Duke students, cheating is an unthinkable act. But when projects, papers, problem sets and exams leave little time for sleep or sanity, a shortcut to getting a good grade can become an alluring alternative.

According to a 2005 survey, however, self-reported acts of academic dishonesty have dropped, with about 30 percent of students admitting to unauthorized collaboration and 25 percent admitting to plagiarism.

Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services, said the drop in undergraduate cheating can be partially attributed to proactive steps taken by faculty members.

“To what might we attribute the decline?

I don’t know 100 percent,” she said. “But one of the main theories I would put forward is the combination of the new honor code as well as the deans’ asking faculty to do more to talk about standards of scholarship and how to avoid plagiarism.”

Academic dishonesty at Duke has been studied extensively by the administration since the early 19905.

In 1995 and 2000, the University administered academic integrity surveys to

The move comes after a series of high-profile cases involving adult-care residents who wandered away from their care centers. One resident died. State rules allow the mentally ill to be placed in rest homes, but the practice has been criticized for years.

Critics complain the rules endanger frail geriatric residents and place mentally ill people in facilities that lack trained staff to properly care for them.

Alum invents solar trash compactor by

Chelsea Allison THE CHRONICLE

Poss, Trinity ’96, always wanted to be an inventor.

Since graduating, Poss has realized that dream several times over, most recently inventing a trash compactor called the Bigßelly.

Poss founded Seahorse Power Co. in 2003 to produce and market the compactor, and it is now sweeping major cities nationwide.

The Bigßelly is powered by a 12-voltbattery, which is charged by a solar panel on the unit.

Sensors determine when the trash compartment is full and compress 180 gallons of waste into 46. The trash is compressed a number of timesand LED lights indicate whether the trash is ready for pickup.

“We spend approximately $5O billion [annually] on hauling garbage,” Poss said.

“There’s 119,000 garbage trucks burning a billion gallons of diesel per year. The Bigßelly reduces the number of collections by a factor of four.”

Boss’s ecological interest began in high school, when he had an “inkling to get into the environmental sector.” It became a full-fledged dedication while he was at Duke, he said.

Professor Emily Klein, who taught Poss when he studied at the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C., said she remembered his creativity.

“He did a project on solar cells, and this was a time when alternative energy was not a focus,” Klein said.

Poss said Seahorse Power’s name is a loose tribute to his time at Beaufort. There, he was able to capitalize on his passion for oceangenerated energy by creating a one-half kilowatt ocean-powered generator.

The knowledge he garnered at Beaufort and at subsequent jobs was critical in developing Bigßelly, Poss said.

He said after working for several renewable energy companies and learning about solar power and electronics, he thought, “Hey, you know what? You could power a trash can with a battery.”

Poss said that although the company is thriving now, with 230 machines out in the field and virtually no repairs thisyear, his business did not reach this point without struggle.

“I started the company with $lO,OOO. The initialreaction ofinvestors was that it was not going to work,” Poss said. “But why it will work is difficult to put your finger on. “It’s intangible—it’s passion, resourcefulness, determination.”

Sales Manager Alex Perera said Poss’ personal qualities were key to their success.

“Jim has an energy and an enthusiasm that is contagious,” Perera said.

“A lot of people come up with ideas, but most can’t pull it through to fruition. He has really been able to bring on and motivate a great team,” he added.

Poss said he is always looking for ways to improve the product, especially because the BigBellies look so different from other trash receptacles that they are unrecognizable to some people.

He said that in a year, wireless sensors will be installed to alert customers that the units are full, streamlining garbage collection routes.

“Eventually, we also hope to have a combination trash-recycler, essentially a materials kiosk,” Poss said.

Though the units, which cost $4,500 and hold up to 180 gallons of trash, currently exceed household needs, Poss hopes their household use will one day be feasible.

Bigßellies are now found in major U.S. cities, including Boston and New York, as well as in the United Kingdom, Australia and Spain. Poss, however, has further hopes for the spread of the Bigßelly.

“I certainly would like to see something outside the Bryan Center and the Nicholas School,” he said.

To amend the shortage of qualified instructors needed to train the next crop of practicing nurses, the School of Nursing and similar institutions nationwide are looking to develop high-level programs to produce future professors.

A widespread lack of instructors forced nursing schools to turn down 32,000 qualified applicants in 2004, and retirements in the next decade will agitate the problem, Anderson said.

Renowned preacher James Forbes spoke about the divisions created by racial, denominational, political and class differences in the Christian community and across the country Tuesday afternoon.

Members of the Duke and Durham communities filled the Divinity School’s Goodson Chapel for the speech. Forbes said the lecture addressed “God’s kingdom, our prayers and our politics.”

“We live in perilous times when there are wars and rumors of wars... and people function out of perpetual defensiveness,” he said.

A native of North Carolina, Forbes is now the senior minister at Riverside Church in New York City and is recognized around the world for his preaching skills.

Americans need to focus on the common goal of improving their communities, instead of becoming preoccupied with their political differences, Forbes said.

He added that there are many commonalities between the “fringes on the right and left.”

Forbes also said he was concerned that “our nation is so seriously divided” that it cannot respond effectively to terrorist attacks from abroad or increasing violence within the country—which he noted recently reached an Amish community in Pennsylvania when four girls were killed in a school shooting.

The preacher also drew on Biblical examples to discuss current conflicts in the nation and world.

People within the religious community should set aside theological differences and accomplish common goals, he said.

he added Edward Rommen, an adjunct professor in the Divinity School, said he considered Forbes’ use of the Lord’s Prayer an effective means of uniting people.

gency contraception, The New York Times reported.

Founders and other scientists within the group hope to use fame, among other things, to push their agenda through discussions, community forums —and possibly even television appearances, Brown said.

Group members will also use blogs and the SEA website to spread their message and to foster a dialogue between the public and scientists.

“It’s a public relations issues—it’s time to come out and represent what we do, as well as inspire our graduate students and the public,” Agre said.

The group’s Bill of Rights condemns “false or misleading” information generated by the federal government and urges federally funded scientists not to be afraid to speak out against policies. Agre and Brown noted that when scientists are linked to policy issues concerning science, they are often depicted as extremists with detached or one-dimensional perspectives.

Although nonpartisan, a number of SEA’s views oppose those of the George W. Bush administration.

“There are a large number of candidates supported by constituents who stick together based on purely ideological views—candidates who manipulate science,” Agre said. “That’s not the way it should be.”

SCIENTISTS from page 1 Laureate Peter Agre, one of the founders of the organization and Duke University Medical Center’s vice chancellor for science and technology. “Today, every source of a scientist’s energy goes into getting funding, while scientists are sidelined from important issues.”

Mike Brown, executive director of SEA, said the group was inspired by Scientists and Engineers for Change—a group that promoted knowledge of sciendfic policy during the 2004 election.

SEA will raise awareness about theviews of politicians but hopes to be a lasting organization that can foster long-term public awareness about scientific issues.

Agre, who is no stranger to discussions regarding scientific policies, said most talks within the walls of the institutions have had little national impact.

Brown said the organization has attracted 3,000 members during the last week. In addition to Agre, founders of Scientists and Engineers include one other Nobel Laureate, two former Clinton White House advisers and Susan F.

If the registration on the car does not match Duke Manor’s address, the car was likely abandoned in the parking lot, Raines added.

“We’re doing our best to help Durham in their investigation,” Raines said. “We put out a lookout order to all of our officers.” Leaving the scene of an accident where there is injury is a felony charge, she added.

The victim was Moreno’s roommate, a senior who wished to remain anonymous. She said the assault was alcohol-related. The victim added that although she is not romantically involved with Moreno, the assault is classified as domestic violence because the two live together.

She said she will not pursue the felony charges, though she added that the district attorney may still pursue some sort of charges that will likely result in a plea bargain.

She now has a restraining order against Moreno, the victim said. Moreno declined to comment.

reasons is that there is a lack of qualified faculty. The fact that we are training students to be teaching students of nursing is another major contribution to the field.”

Although the nursing school consistendy accrues generous amounts of funding from NIH research grants—it received more than $l.B million in 2004, placing 23rd among national institutions—the doctoral program will attract faculty that could bring more grants to the school.

NIH funding is an important measure of standing among peer institutions. It will not, however, be the only benchmark for the new school, Gilliss said.

“Just as programs in medicine are ranked by how much NIH funds come in, schools of nursing are ranked the same way,” she said. “Beyond that... we will be better known not just for the dollars but for the work.”

Anderson and other School of Nursing faculty chose the five members of the program’s pioneer class from an applicant pool of 22.

By limiting the class to a small number of students, faculty can provide the individual attention required to effectively teach the elevated level of material, said Chris Lorentz, a student in the program.

“One of the nice things about the program is they’re not trying to make it giant,” he said. “The goal is to get a smaller number of people and offer a more personal kind of experience. It’s more about quality.”

Administrators plan to bring in a second class of five students next year, and an additional six students the following year.

School of Nursing faculty spent years working to gain approval for the program.

After the Academic Council approved the plan, it was put before the Board of Trustees, which passed the proposal in December 2004.

“The faculty wrote it in less than a year but it was two years before they proposed it to the University,” Gilliss said.

Doctoral programs at other nursing schools have alumni to support its students and an established reputation, but the inaugural class of Duke’s nursing doctoral program will provide the foundation that future aspiring nursing instructors will build on, Lorentz said.

“There is no one in the program to look for in support; there are no upperclassmen,” he said. “But it also gives us the opportunity to set the standards and establish the traditions.”

CHEATING from page 3

Amy Hall, director of the Divinity School's new Th.D. program, hopes to expand the program in the future.

THEOLOGY from page 5 “The students in our inaugural class all have experience in non-profit social agencies and/or have worked with faith communities on a local level,” Hall said.

The Th.D. is designed to be a four-year program, with two years dedicated to course work and another two to dissertation writing. Students take classes across departments, in everything from post-colonial theory to documentary studies. The particular academic focus is up to the student, but it is always interdisciplinary.

Hall said she likes to think of the Refectory Cafe, the Divinity School’s popular restaurant, as the embodiment of the Th.D. program’s interdisciplinary emphasis and focus on the practical application ofChristian values.

“It’s a place where students, faculty and staff gather for hospitality and conversation,” she said. “If you look around, you’ll see people having conversations about life, work and faith. You’ll see students with old texts and Apple computers, using modern technology to inter-

pret centuries-old texts. It’s a place for interdisciplinary conversation, hospitality and scholarly inquiry.”

Hall added that the Divinity School hopes the Th.D. program will expand in the future.

“It’s our hope that we will continue to receive 8 to 10 doctoral students [ayear]... so that eventually we will have a significant cohort of students studying fields such as global health, history of missions, gender studies and theology, medical ethics and post-colonial theory,” Hall said.

Jones said he envisions the Th.D. program fostering numerous collaborative efforts between the Divinity School and other schools and departments at the University, such as faith-based initiatives with the Fuqua School of Business.

Outside of Duke, Jones hopes the program will train people to fight social problems in a Christian manner—giving Christianity an opportunity to leave the classroom.

“There is a serious need for doctorallyeducated people in Christian practices in a variety of settings beyond tenure track academics,” he said.

Changing the rules of Walk -on QB finds niche the game

WWM

FOOTBALL

College and professional sports have many different rules and regulations. The games still basically look the same, and the modifications usually just add nuance and uniqueness that distinguish sports of the same name from one another at varying levels of play.

But after seeing the referees nullify the men’s soccer team’s last-ditch, game-tying goal attempt Sept. 19 gM against UNC-Wilmington, it’s obvious some rules just need to be ^ adopted by all levels patnck of play. The referees ruled Mike Grella’s shot didn’t go into the net before the clock expired. In international play, the game would not have been whistled dead when time ran out but rather when the defense had cleared the ball and the referees had determined the offensive threatwas extinguished.

The outcome of that game got me thinking about other differences between pro and college sports that detract in one way or another from fan enjoyment-and overall fairness. Including the soccer clock, there are three rule discrepancies that I feel should be changed.

On game days, seniorwalk-on quarterback Kevin Cronin signals in the plays to Duke's QBs on the field.

on team by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

This is Kevin Cronin’s fourth year on Duke’s football team. Based on any stat sheet, however, you wouldn’t know he exists.

Cronin did not see game action in his first three years on the team. This season, he serves as the third string quarterback and holder for the fieldgoal unit. Neither role has resulted in a positive yard on the field.

But ask any one of Cronin’s teammates or his coaches, and you’ll find out his importance to the squad extends far beyond those unrecorded duties.

Cronin, a senior, leads the scoutteam offense, running the plays of Duke’s upcoming opponent to prepare the Blue Devil defense for the weekend. During games, he signals in the offense’s plays from the sidelines, and he instructs and mentors Duke’s young quarterbacks.

“He fully understands the offense, every little aspect of it,” sophomore quarterback/wideout Marcus Jones said. “So if 1 ever have any questions, or I don’t understand how a coach might explain it, he might explain it in a better way—from a player’s perspective or a quarterback’s perspective.”

Cronin said he had interest from several Ivy League schools to play quarterback coming out of high school. But the combination of Duke’s offense, academics and southern weather inspired the Madison, Wise, native to walk on to the Blue Devils.

“I realized coming in that I wasn’t going to be the starting quarterback, so you have to find away to contribute,” SEE CRONIN ON PAGE 14

season to integrate in a new coach and several new players as well as to prepare for the 2007 spring season.

That process starts when Duke takes the field against North Carolina tonight in its first fall scrimmage. Last season, the Blue Devils downed the Tar Heels, 10-8.

“It was a really long year since we started in September and ended in May, especially with all the issues with the men’s team” head coach Kerstin Kimel said.

“All of us were just exhausted mentally and physically. The good thing was it took me less time than usual to recuperate and really be excited about this year.”

With the loss of assistant coach Christine Halfpenny to the head coaching job at William & Mary during the offseason, the team underwent some staff changes.

The Blue Devils took on assistant coach Alex Kahoe, who has coached at Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware. In her college career at Maryland, Kahoe, a goalie, was a three-time All-American and led the Terrapins to five straight NCAA titles between 1996 and 2000. She was the NCAA Goalie of the Year twice and compiled a 100-5record in her tenure with the team.

“She’s really big on stick work,” Sanford said. “We’ve been doing much more than we did before.

It’s already making a big difference in our play.”

This season, the Blue Devils will have to replace three-time AllAmerican attacker Kade Chrest, key defender Laura Anderson and 2005 IWLCA/U.S. Lacrosse Goalie of the Year Megan Huether. Still, Kimel feels confident in her team’s

sonnel losses.

“We return all the other kids around Chrest who were responsible for 80 percent of our scoring,” Kimel said. “Our goal this year, especially with the senior class we have, since they’ve all played and contributed, is that we have a special opportunity to go after the ACC and NCAA championships.

Those are realistic goals.”

In goal, the Blue Devils could split time between two keepers who both saw limited minutes in 2006—junior Regan Bosch and sophomore Kim Imbesi.

“We either have a tough decision to make this spring, or they can both play,” Kimel said. “In 1999-2000, we had two very different goalies, and we split time with them, since one goalie would be better suited for one team than the other.”

Duke welcomes the return of not only nine starters but also of juniorJessica Adam, who redshirted last season. The midfielder played in all 21 games for the Blue Devils in 2005, tallying 17 goals and eight assists while going 6-for-6 on free position shots.

“Jess is a great midfielder,” senior captain Michelle Menser said.

“She’s really athletic, she can score goals, she can play defense.

She’s just an all-around great player, so it will be really valuable to have her back and add to the depth of our team.”

The freshman class also brings eight players to the team, includLAURA BETH DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE ing attacker Lindsay Gilbride, a U.S. Lacrosse High School All- Senior midfielder Michelle Menser earned All-ACC honors while serving as a captain of the Blue Devils during the 2006 season.

BYRNES from page 11 Given the low scoring nature of the sport, every match I watched seemed to come down the final minutes. I knew of the concept of stoppage time, but I was shocked when I learned that not only was its length seemingly arbitrary but there was no final buzzer.

Every team sport in America outside of baseball-which has no clock at all-ends in a race to the final horn. Officially, a soccer referee is supposed to end the game once stoppage time expires, but in reality the referee does not blow the final whisde until the offensive team’s final scoring threat is ended and the ball is cleared by the defense.

There was something so captivating about watching a soccer team trying to keep the ball in the offensive third knowing a loss of possession could end the game.

It’s absurd the NCAA would also Americanize one of the elements that defines the sport and whisde the game dead the instant the clock expires. I’m not arguing that Duke should get that game against UNC-W back, but I am pleading with the NCAA to can its clock management and just adopt the style that has made soccer the world’s most popular game.

2. Football overtime

Game of the Week: Women's Soccer vs. North Carolina

UNC may be No. 2 in the nation, but their top-ranking last season didn't stop the Blue Devils from ending the Tar Heels' 41-game winning streak. Can Duke pull off another upset?

Neither the NCAA nor the NFL has a perfect policy, but anybody who watches even one NFL overtime game will agree with me that it’s at the very least unfair.

A coin-flip decides which gets first possession of the ball in a sudden-death overtime.

More often than not, the team that wins the toss wins the game, and it’s very common for the winning team to score a field goal on its first possession.

The NCAA overtime has some flaws, but it is inherently much fairer than the NFL policy that rewards winning a random cointoss far too much.

In college overtime, one team gets the ball at the 25-yard line and attempts to score as many points as possible on the possession. The opponent then has the chance to match that score or win the game if it can better the opponent’s mark. If after one round there is still a stalemate, the order of possession reverses and continues to do so until a winner is determined.

Maybe the NFL doesn’t have to adopt the NCAA’s exact rule here, but the college policy is clearly superior 1 to its professional counterpart. team

3. Advancing the basketball after timeout In the NBA, a team can call a timeoutafter a basket has been scored and elect to move the ball to midcourt for the inbounds pass. In the NCAA, a coach can call a timeout to draw up a lastsecond play to tie or win the game, but the team has to start from under the hoop where the opposition just hit its basket.

Set your calendar.

Cronin said. “And I found one of the ways was to signal and help out the quarterbacks with what I could see from the sidelines.”

Cronin’s role on the team is about more than just being a good teammate. Cronin said he hopes to coach college football after graduation and has looked into becoming a graduate assistant, possibly at Duke, next season. For now, the senior—who DVRs all the college football games he can and is already fluent in coachspeak—is basically getting a crash course in College Football 101.

“When you’re on the scout team, you miss what’s going on with the [offense],” Cronin said. “So it’s a challenge knowing what’s going on with both things, so you have to spend extra time, come in early and watch more film.”

Cronin’s level of commitment to the program creates quite a time crunch, even for the disciplined military school product. Facing his first college paper during his freshman year, he had serious doubts about his decision to play football sans scholarship.

“I thought, ‘Yeah I have a great time with the guys, but what am I getting out ofit?’” Cronin said. “But at the same time, you quickly realize that you do it because you love it.

You don’t try to get anything out ofit. It’s a great experience, and you only have one time in your life to do it.” dedication has drawn obvious comparisons to Rudy—the famous guy-cry film about an undersized football walk-on at Notre Dame. In fact, Cronin said Rudy was the only movie he brought to college after his hometown friends gave it to him as a joke. But while he can certainly match the cinematic walk-on’s work effort, Cronin seems to have a lot more personality than the ever-serious Rudy Ruettiger.

“He likes to brag that he’s a quarterback on the team, and we just give him a lot ofcrap “We will play their about it,” said his roommate, junsongs a couple times real ior tight end Nick Stefanow. loud just to piss him off, “He thinks he’s especially when he has a big stuff sometimes.” girl over.”

earth. He is one of the smallest players on the team, listed in the media guide as six-foot, 170 pounds. Cronin said the listing is correct, but not everyone agrees. Asked if the listing was accurate, the six-foot-four, 235-pound Stefanow said, “Maybe if I was holding him.”

Cronin also shares his name with the lead singer of 1980s rock band REO Speedwagon, a fact of which he is constantly reminded.

“We will play their songs a couple times real loud just to piss him off, especially when he has a girl over,” Stefanow said while laughing.

Even Cronin’s brief playing time can become fodder for his teammates.

“He holds the ball on field goals, so sometimes we like to see him get hit a little bit,” Stefanow said. “That makes our day if someone gets through and he gets tackled, because he’s not expecting it.”

But Cronin can dish it out as well, challenging the younger quarterbacks to throwing contests to prove his oft-questioned arm strength. He also has called out his heavy-footed roommate, saying, “At least I can run a 40 under six-flat.”

Cronin may get to put his relative speed to use at some point. If the Blue Devils botch a snap or choose to run a fake field goal, he would be the quarterback of the play.

“I’m always telling coach Roof and the special teams coach, coach [Larry] Kerr, ‘Let me go out there and throw the ball. I want to complete a pass,”’ Cronin said, before backtracking a tad. “Of course, it has to be a good situation, and coach Roof will make that decision.”

Still, one imagines Cronin might envision the scenario—the Blue Devils, trailing in the fourth quarter, facing fourth down at North Carolina’s 25-yard line in his last collegiate game. The field goal unit comes out, and Cronin takes the snap as always.

But just before the kicker’s foot reaches it, Cronin pulls the ball away. The senior boodegs out to the right and finds a receiver open in the end zone for the winning touchdown and a career passer rating of 640.

“He’s always in coach’s ear about that—trying to get a fake,” Stefanow said, “so it wouldn’t surprise me if one day...”

You can’t help but think he would have earned it.

public consumption.”

“I’m not naive as a coach at all, I have a

good handle on what goes on,” Kimel con-

tinued. “But when I saw some of those picabout some of those teams and pictures, I couldn’t believe it. It was beyond my imagination that people would take pictures like that and post them. What kind of picture are you painting for yourself, whether you’re an athlete or not?”

Kimel asked her players to remove photos they thought could embarrass themselves, their team or the University. At first, the team’s captains protested, saying they should be allowed to behave as other college students did on the web. They eventually acquiesced but made sure their coach knew they weren’t thrilled.

Six months later, the controversy surrounding the men’s lacrosse team was spinning out of control. April 5, Ryan then-sophomore McFadyen’s now-infamous e-mail was made public, and men’s lacrosse head coach Mike Pressler was forced to resign.

It was all of a sudden clear that something was different—athletes’ lives, especially ones at Duke, were becoming public and scrutinized more than ever before.

And the most accessible way for outsiders to research Duke athletes was on the Internet, where oftentimes pictures of misbehavior were just a few clicks away.

Amid the unnerving events of the previous weeks and the ongoing media storm, Kimel asked her players: “Do you get it now?” tures

During the fall of 2005, Kerstin Kimel warned her

team about the dangers of posting pictures online.

ATHLETES from page 1 teams that had

photos posted on webshots. The first and most notable outing occurred when Reno posted photos of some older players on the Northwestern women’s soccer team hazing the squad’s freshmen—photos that eventually led to players’ suspensions and the head coach’s firing.

In response to those incidents—and the larger trend of increased exposure ofathletes on social networking websites—university athletic departments are cautioning students to be aware that their behavior in cyberspace is easily accessible to lurkers like Reno. During the past six months, Duke has taken steps to ensure the University’s 600-plus student-athletes are representing themselves and the school in a positive manner.

Although no photos of Duke athletes were ever exposed on badjocks.com, the Department of Athletics has advised its athletes about the potential dangers of both inappropriate behavior and the subsequent postings on photo-sharing sites like webshots and social networking sites like facebook.com and myspace.tom.

In

the fall of 2005, Duke women’s lacrosse head coach Kerstin Kimel, after following links on players’ Instant Messenger profiles, came across photographs of her student athletes that made her uncomfortable.

“It wasn’t anything illegal—Just players being college kids,” Kimel said. “I wanted

During

the hectic final weeks of last spring, Duke’s athletic department acted swifdy in addressing potential future issues related to online behavior.

Director ofAthletics Joe Alieva met with an assembly of student athletes in Cameron Indoor Stadium in April, reminding the group that their actions both online and otherwise—reflected on the University.

Junior Michael Videira and his men’s soccer teammates—many of whom are friends with members of the men’s lacrosse team understood the advice they were receiving.

“We got together and talked briefly and said we should untag photos,” Videira said.

“It was just to be careful—there is a target on our backs right now in athletics at Duke.”

—

.

Since then, the athletic department has taken increased steps in advising its student athletes in all types of behavior. Alieva hired a new Director of Student Athlete Development to oversee seminars on issues such as alcohol use and hazing, and the department updated its student-athlete handbook.

Among the new aspects included in the handbook is a page entitled “Considerations for social networks.” The advice given to the student-athletes in the handbook is the same as that which the Office of Student Affairs recommends for all students.

Still, members of the athletic department have acknowledged that, given the highlypublicized nature of their domain, athletes are often held to a higher standard.

“Our basic rule is don’t do anything to embarrass yourself, your team or the University,” said Chris Kennedy, senior associate director of athletics. “The message wasn’t don’t participate [in social networking sites]. It was just don’t do anything to embarrass Duke.”

At the same time, another member of the athletic department returned from an ACC meeting, where a representative from another school told a story about a student athlete going on a job interview. That student-athlete was asked in the interview to explain several pictures that the interviewer had obtained from facebook.com.

“That got our attention a little bit,” Kennedy said. “We became conscious of things going on, not so much with men’s lacrosse, but things going on nationally.”

that do physical harm we will not tolerate,” he said. “We’ve focused on behavior across the board. Let’s do the right things. Let’s not embarrass ourselves or our program.”

Like Church, all of Duke’s coaches have had discussions with their teams about the potential dangers of misbehaving—and then providing evidence of that online.

Men’s soccer head coach John Rennie said he discussed internet behavior with his team this year for the first time.

John Danowski, who replaced Mike Pressler as head coach of the men’s lacrosse team, said he has warned his teams for years about their behavior reflecting on theif institution, even before he left Hofstra for Duke. But he questioned why someone like Reno would spend his time posting pictures of student-athletes on his website.

‘You have to feel sorry for a guy like that,” Danowski said. “Does he do the same thing for fraternities and sororities and companies? Do they search office Christmas parties?”

Still, Danowski has come to understand the scrutiny under whichathletes are viewed.

“You have to be so careful,” Danowski said. “Especially now, you have to be hyper-vigilant about everything you do.

Athletes don’t have the same rights as normal students—they have to act daily almost beyond reproach. And if they do make mistakes, hopefully people don’t call them out on it. Hopefully the mistakes they make are small and correctable.”

Women’s

soccer head coach Robbie Church was not close with anybody associated with Northwestern’s program, but the photos on badjocks.com still hit home.

“We were aware, talked about it, the players knew about it,” Church said. ‘We told them that the athletic department would be checking web books and facebook and other sites out there. And we wanted to make sure there was nothing on there that would embarrass them or the program.”

Church had a tough decision to make.

In his time at Duke, the players had developed a tradition in which the freshmen dressed up in “crazy clothes” and distributed flyers to promote an upcoming game.

Church said he drew a line between what could be considered hazing, and what should be allowed.

“That’s a college fun thing, but things

student-friendly atmosphere of section parties.

In short, party monitors are allowing section parties to continue to be student events, and they are the best option among all alternatives.

Like many things at this school, the program looks good on paper, regardless of whether or not it is a perfect fix to a serious issue.

As long as students and administrators acknowledge this fact, the program is fine as is.

But if the administration thinks party monitors are keeping events with alcohol strictly in line with University policy, they should realize they have made incorrect assumptions about the program now, and not after a potential alcohol and section-party related mishap.

Most importantly, they hold the authority to kick people out of parties and can act as responsible, sober intermediaries between law enforcement or EMS and students.

And since party monitors typically volunteer at events thrown by the organization to which they belong, they have some interest in making sure event policies are followed.

In the past, administrators and student leaders have looked to improve the program and have suggested supplementing student party monitors with professional ones.

Having only students serve as monitors should continue to be the status quo because non-students could ruin the

many of one’s friends are doing the opposite. The most common violations of the University’s policy is that party monitors regularly drink on the job and untrained students often pose as trained.

Since Alcohol Law Enforcement’s back-to-school underage drinking sting last year, party monitors have shifted some of their focus to making sure undercover ALE agents don’t gain entry to parties. As a result, they have paid less attention to their other duties.

It’s important to stress, however, that party monitors do serve many valuable functions.

Groups that throw parties on campus need some sort of mechanism to make sure that guests at their events are protected from health and legal problems. At this point in

The Slutsky Equation

I

was running around East last week and I saw a woman fall flat on her face. Her glasses went flying and she skidded a good five feet across the pavement. I was unable to control myself and I burst out laughing. She stood up, looked around, dusted herself off and continued on her way. I don’t think she even knew I saw her.

I spent the rest of the run StGVG mOWM thinking about had why I the world is yours laugl

poor woman. It had nothing to do with cruelty, because I felt terrible for her and was relieved when I saw that she was uninjured. The issue here was not a lack of sympathy, but a lack of maturity.

There are two sayings that I always hear about college, and they are completely at odds with each other. The first goes, “College is the time in your life when you’re going to make the transition from adolescence to adulthood.” The second goes, “College is your last opportunity to go crazy and have fun.” I don’t know whether to grow up or throw up. The only relationship I can see between the two is thatyou should have so much fun in college that it sucks all of the immaturity, energy and lawlessness out ofyou. In other words, the best way to find maturity is to have four years of complete resistance to it.

When I made it back to my apartment 30 minutes later, I had come to the realization that the window of opportunity to laugh at people when they fall down is growing smaller by the day. I thought back to when I was a kid and basically lived in a consequence-free environment. It didn’t matter if I pointed in shock at someone’s fake eye or knocked over a collection of mannequins in a department store. I was young and immature, and everyone accepted it. It was like carrying around a get-out-ofjail-free card, which became literal if I was caught stealing candy or action figures.

Nowadays, all I ever hear is how the future is coming and I need to get ready for the real world. Ever since I’ve been at Duke, it’s been a fight to stay in the past Unfortunately, it’s a battle that’s impossible to win. There’s

going

to be

a day, and it’s going to be soon, when I’m

walking down the street with mybriefcase and overcoat

and some woman’s going to trip and fell down in front of me. I’ll want to laugh, but some voice in my head that doesn’t even sound like me will say, “Are you serious?

You’re 40 years old. Grow up.” My laughter will die before it can even make it out ofmy mouth, and then I’ll go off and trade stocks or fire someone or something.

I used to think that as people got older, they just stopped thinking certain things were funny. I realize now that we never really change our sense of humor, we just do a much better job at hiding it. I know that in the heart of every tired, middle-aged parent, there lies the secret desire to launch fireworks into the middle of a crowded intersection or to pour hot sauce on someone’s lips while he sleeps. This is the kind of humor I grew up on, and it’s finally coming to an end.

Back at my apartment, I told myself that this was the day I was finally going to become a man. It was time to say goodbye to the “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” reruns and drawing penises on my friends’ faces when they passed out from drinking. I started making a list in my head ofadult things I needed to learn how to do. My visions of tax returns, changing tires and doing my own laundry were interrupted by my roommate’s return from econ discussion. He told me that his professor had spent the duration of class explaining a term known as “The Slutsky Equation.” We roared with laughter and decided that Slutsky must have been absolutely miserable in high school. Later, I recounted the story of the falling woman, and it sounded even funnier the second time.

I am deeply indebted to Slutsky, because he taught me that, while adulthood is looming in the days ahead, it hasn’t gotten me down yet. Instead of fearing the days when I can’t ridicule someone for his misfortunes, I should be embracing them while I still have a chance. So, be careful the next time you’re walking, because if you trip and fall, I’m going to be the obnoxious guy laughing at you. Don’t worry, it’s not because I don’t like you.

I’m just a kid. I can’t help it.
