Future Dukies may have time to take a few more electives.

Administrators in Trinity Col-

lege ofArts and Sciences are considering reducing the fewest number of courses required for a major from ten to eight. The Arts and Sciences Council, which would be

responsible for approving the change, could see a formal proposal as early as late spring or next fall.

Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity College and vice provost of undergraduate education, said the potential changes would free students to enroll more easily in interdisciplinary certificate programs.

“What’s so magical about the 10-course requirement for the major?” Thompson asked.

Modifying the curriculum would offer students more options, said Jimmy Soni, Duke Student Government vice president for academic affairs.

“I don’t know that there’s necessarily a need to reduce the major size, but I think it would be a boon to students if it happened,” Soni said.

Several directors of undergraduate studies, however, said they would not support the potential change. “Absolutely not,” SEE

In their first public interviews, the three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team indicted for raping an exotic dancer strongly defended their innocence Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

David Evans, Trinity ’O6, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann told CBS News correspondent Ed Bradley that they never expected the case would be carried this far and said the accusations had brought irreparable damage to their lives and those of their families.

“This woman has destroyed everything I’ve worked for in my life. She’s put it on hold,” Evans told Bradley. “She’s destroyed two other families and she’s brought shame on a great university. Worst of all, she’s split apart a community and a nadon on facts that just didn’t happen and a lie that should have never been told.”

Last night’s program was extensively critical of District Attorney Mike Nifong and the prosecution’s case.

“Over the past six months, ‘6O Minutes’ has examined nearly the entire case file,” Bradley explained in his introduction to the segment. “The evidence we’ve seen reveals disturbing facts about

Students from Duke and North Carolina Central University gathered at the American Tobacco Complex Sunday afternoon for the schools’ first “Unity Fest.”

At the event, students from both universities mingled while enjoying free food, listening to student music performances or scaling a climbing wall installed just for the venue. Many attendees said Unity Fest showed potential for the start of stronger, more active relations between the two schools.

2 Muslims take home Nobel Prize

BSA cleans up Crest Street Park

When the 2006 winners were announced, Orhan Pamuk and Muhammad Yunus were among this year’s nobel laureates —marking the first time in history that two Muslims received the prestigious award in the same year.

“Muslim heroes—not terrorists—in the headlines? It seems too good to be true,” Bruce Lawrence, Duke professor of religion and director of the Islamic Studies Center at Duke, wrote in an e-mail. “Especially after 9/11, when most headlines are negative, reflecting violence associated with Muslims.”

This year’s Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Pamuk, who the Swedish Academy cites for “discover[ing] new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures.”

Pamuk, 54, is the first Turk to win the honor.

He made the news last year when he said about one million Armenians and 30,000 Kurds were killed in Turkey during World War I. In the outrage that resulted, one official demanded that Pamuk’s books be destroyed.

Erdag Goknar, assistant professor of Slavic and Eurasian Studies at Duke, translated one of Pamuk’s works into English.

He called Pamuk an “excellent choice by the committee,” but said the author’s relatively young age made the news somewhat surprising. Goknar said it was Pamuk’s most recent novels that put the SEE NOBEL PRIZES ON PAGE 10

N.C. State Fair serves up deep-fried flair Rob Copeland THE CHRONICLE

There was excitement in the air when the deep-throated announcer, sporting a NASCAR jacket and pitch-perfect twang, raised his microphone Saturday night to announce the start of competition.

An over-capacity crowd spilled out of the arena, craning their necks to see over those who came an hour early and staked out the riser seats.

“This is the wildest billygoat race in town!” the announcer bellowed.

So Hogway Speedway—a track that hosts contests for three sizes of pigs and geese—is not exactly a typical stock car race. But then nothing at the 139th North Carolina State Fair, running through Oct. 22 in Raleigh, can be described as ordinary.

Where else can you buy fake designer sunglasses and 40-inch necklaces with blinging dollar signs charms, and then wander next door to a booth hawking “The Bible in Drama: Your Child’s Alternative to Television”? Is there another place where you can take a sauna for a 30-minute test run and then quench

More than 147,000 people visited the fair Friday and Saturday, said Jennifer Nixon, the fair’s public information officer.

“The attendance is down from last year, but we’re still right along track with our average numbers,” Nixon said.

“There have no been no major problems, so we’re happy.”

Inside the fair’s Expo Center, families gathered close and looked at goats, cows and other farm animals—a slice of good, clean Americana.

Of course, right above the cute lambs and steers were signs displaying the prices the animals fetched at an auction earlier Saturday. Sold for $lO,OOO to Harris Teeter, for example. Or for a few thousand more to Martin Meats.

Members of Black Student Alliance teamed up with campus greek groups and student service organizations to clean up Crest Street Park this weekend.

Approximately 100 students worked together to paint pavilions, trim bushes and pick up trash for three hours Saturday afternoon.

The event was the first of many that BSA will be holding at the park as part of a larger inidative to reach out to the Durham community, said senior Malik Burnett, Black Student Alliance president.

“The idea behind the adopt-a-park program is to reach out into the community and build bridges,” he said.

“Today, we are demonstradng a commitment to creating a Duke-Durham community,” Burnett added.

Crest Street Park is an ideal site for BSA’s outreach efforts because it is located less than half a mile from campus, within sight of the Duke Medical Center, Burnett explained. “The park was chosen because of its proximity to campus,” Burnett said.

The park clean-up is the first tangible step toward establishing a headquarter for community outreach at the Crest Street complex, which includes a community SEE CREST ST. PARK ON PAGE 10

Friday party unites diverse social groups by

Angela Munasque THE CHRONICLE

By normal party standards, this past Fri-

day night at George’s Garage was a success—-

there were no alcohol citations, no fire alarm fiascoes and no long waits for buses.

But the Viva Las Vegas party—hosted by Students to Unite Duke, Delta Tau Delta fraternity and Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority—was also successful in providing an integrated social scene.

Between 430 and 450 people attended the event, said senior Tiffany Gelott, cosocial chair of AKA and co-president of STUD, the social affiliate of the Center for Race Relations.

“The party was successful in creating a truly mixed atmosphere where I saw people of a variety of ethnicities and backgrounds partying and having a good time,” Gelott said.

DTD president Ryan Harris, a senior, said the venue was filled to capacity.

“We were really happy with the eclectic group of people who came,” he said.

Both Gelott and Harris said the party

Friday night's party was well attended, as George's Garage quickly reached its capacity.

was not held in direct response to the recently begun Campus Culture Initiative or to the lacrosse situation—which brought the issues of race and social scene to the fore.

“This event had nothing to do with any of those things and instead has to do with STUD’s mission, which is to socially integrate campus by holding events that welcome all Duke students by providing them with an environment in which they can feel comfortable,” Gelott said.

Harris said hosting the party was also consistent with DTD’s mission “to bridge the racial divide” and its prior efforts to bring together people who might not otherwise socially interact.

The two organizations have worked together before, co-hosting a party at The Loop in Spring 2005, Harris and Gelott said.

Gelott added that STUD seeks to collaborate with campus organizations ofall types, but the visibility of greek groups is particularly useful when holding large events.

Harris said working with AKA, a National Pan-Hellenic Council and traditionally black sorority, probably brought in some individuals who might not normally attend a function held by DTD, an Interfratemity Council group.

“I feel like it was one of the few times I’ve been at Duke that a concerted effort to bring different groups of students together on campus did not go to waste,” partygoer and sophomore Theresa Cho wrote in an e-mail.

“Coming back from Common Ground [a CRR diversity retreat program], George’s was a nice reminder that the social scene at Duke doesn’t always have to be segregated on multiple levels,” she

The "VivaLas Vegas" party Friday night at George's Garagewas hosted by STUD, DTD fraternity and AKA sorority. added In addition to providing a diverse and welcoming social event, Viva Las Vegas raised money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Harris and Gelott said.

Delta Delta Delta sorority president Lisa Rainey, a senior, whose organization hosted a philanthropy event at nearby G Loft the same night, commented that TriDelt, a member of the Panhellenic Association, could not co-host Viva Las Vegas because the group is not allowed to hold events with alcohol.

Although they have not hosted any mixers with any NPHC group yet, Rainey said they “are currently looking into it.”

Neither NPHC nor Panhel mixers are overseen by the governing organizations’ presidents, although they may encourage their individual chapters to organize the events.

“Mixers are a great way to promote community, but they can be challenging, especially for smaller groups,” said NPHC president Patricia Simon, a senior. “Mixers are good, and they should continue to

happen.”

“This woman has destroyed everything I’ve worked for in my life,” Evans said in the interview, which was broadcast on a plasma screen in the Bryan Center. “She’s brought shame on a great university.”

The 15 students sitting in the BC media room sighed collectively. One undergraduate placed his head in his hands and miserably raked his fingers through his hair.

Although “60 Minutes” seemed to discredit the rape charges against the indicted players, the program did not steer away from the tawdry behavior at the team’s party.

The ad hoc group of BC viewers watched uncomfortably as blurred images of exotic dancers flashed across the screen and Bradley graphically described witnesses’ accounts of racial slurs and the gang rape charged by the alleged victim.

“They produced a very compelling, but one-sided, account of the issues,” senior Malik Burnett, Black Student AJliance president, said of the show, which did not interview either the alleged victim or any representative of the district attorney’s office. “It seemed very sensationalized.”

Sophomore Mike Muniz said he appreciated the comprehensiveness of the “60 Minutes” report, and said Bradley’s reputation lent credibility to the program’s criticisms of Nifong, a Democrat.

“Ed Bradley has a very liberal reputation,” Muniz said “To- have him support the team like he did was very telling.”

One Durham resident watching in the BC said the truth was more complex than “60 Minutes” portrayed.

“There’s nobody who’s innocent here,” William Dixon said. “They should not have had a party like that. This is a school of standards.”

Nifong declined repeated requests for comment, Bradley said.

Students crammed in residence halls and media rooms to watch the show. Some said the program appropriately vindicated the lacrosse team, while others complained it was “one-sided” and let the players off too easy.

The team’s response Danowski and Douglas said the broadcast ought to make the district attorney’s prosecution politically untenable. Nifong is being challenged for his post in the upcoming November election.

“Everyone hopes that this will make some impact within Durham, specifically within the DA’s case,” Douglas said.

Eight other players, including three from the Class of 2010, joined the pair at their house to watch the program.

The veterans said the freshmen could never grasp what it was like to be a lacrosse player last spring—when talking heads skewered the team on cable TV and the New Black Panther Party menaced players—but noted the program was informative for the new players.

“There were times during the show when the three freshmen would look at us and say ‘Could you clarify that? Could you explain that?’” Douglas said.

He added that he had spoken to Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann in recent days and said the three were happy to have their side of the story told. “[The segment] was well done,” Danowski said.

Most of the dinners enjoyed at the fair, however, are in the present tense, not the future. Anyone who goes home hungry is either broke or on a diet.

Ostrich quesadillas, gigantic turkey legs, alligator on a stick, five-course steak dinners for under ten dollars—true culinary diversity.

One stand with a long line was upfront about its intentions. “We buffalo anything!” a giant sign proclaimed.

Surveys have consistently shown that food is the fair’s top draw, Nixon ex-

plained.

“The big rave this year is the fried Coca-Cola,” she said. “It’s Coca-Cola put into a batter and fried with coke syrup added on top.”

Freshman Grady Slane passed on the

fried dough, fried pickles and fried pierogies in favor of a fried Snickers bar.

“I felt sick to my stomach afterward, but it was good,” he said. He added that he enjoyed himself, anyway—particularly the fireworks and Tiny Tim, the world’s smallest horse.

“I mean, he wasn’t as small as I thought he would be,” Slane said with a

laugh.

And for just one more dollar, fairgoers could see Sampson, the world’s largest horse, just a few feet away.

Still, the most popular animals were racing for cheese doodles at the Hogway Speedway in front of the sold-out crowd.

Water pipes exploded at Aston Kona By The Sea, an 86-unit condominium resort, creating a dramatic waterfall down the front of the hotel from the fourth floor, said Kenneth Piper, who runs the front desk.

More than 50 federal officials were en route to the Big Island to assess damage and begin recovery work, he said.

Riley said the University’s study abroad minority representation, however, is nearly twice the national average.

It is unclear why Asian students are underrepresented, she said, offering several possible reasons for the low numbers among black students.

“There’s a high percentage of diverse students who are basketball and football players,” she said. “With all of their practices, their schedule just doesn’t permit it.”

Riley added that the close-knit nature of traditionally black fraternities and sororities may make it more socially difficult for black students to leave.

The social dimensions of going abroad do play a role in minority students’ decisions, said senior Alima Abubakari, who studied in Italy with her roommate.

Abubakari noted that the two were ethnically isolated because Florence has a small African-American population, and they were the only two black students in their program.

“It’s mostly white students that study abroad,” she explained. “It’s [pardy] the social scene. A lot of people go with their friends. For a lot white people, theirwhole social scene goes abroad, but for black

dominant social scene on campus encouraged them to study abroad. Kim chose to study in Prague, Czech Republic with a New York University program—opting specifically for an experience not under the University’s auspices.

“I thought of study abroad as away of getting away from the whole Asian-American stereotype that you get here,” she said.

‘You’re perceived very differently, and it’s nice to leave the zone where all the stereotypes don’t bombard you. I did a non-Duke program specifically to be around students who didn’t attend Duke.”

Martina Bryant, Trinity College associate dean, who has worked with the Office of Study Abroad to spread the word about study abroad, said often it comes down to a matter of educating students about their

opportunities.

“The real answer is that we have to make the study abroad programs seem possible to students,” she said. “[Minority] students have to realize that the study abroad program is as extensive as it is and very often students don’t know that. We have to say, ‘This is a program that many students take advantage of, but you can take advantage of it too,”’ Bryant added.

“The area is rich in service opportunities,” Roane said.

“Crest Street will be the primary hub for future outreach [efforts].”

Some volunteers noted that service opportunities and community involvement have expanded in recent years.

“I’ve seen community involvement grow substantially, since I was freshman,” said senior Nicole Jackson. “In years past, we had to force people to come [to service events].

Now, lots of people, especially fraternities and sororities, are all coming out.”

Jackson is the president of Future is Now, a service organization that tutors underprivileged fourth- and fifthgrade girls in the Durham Public School System, and one of several service organizations that participated in Saturday’s park clean-up.

Burnett emphasized, however, that BSA has been involved in the Durham community for more than 40 years.

Brothers from Phi Beta Sigma and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternities and sisters from Zeta Phi Beta and Delta Sigma Theta sororities pitched in for the event.

Kappa Alpha Psi plans to continue working with BSA at Crest Street and the fraternity plans to return to build a bench for the park within the next month.

“Each group represented here today takes pride in providing service to the community, but we are all part of the greater Duke and Durham community and this event is just the first step toward strengthening the bonds between [those] communities,” Burnett wrote in an e-mail.

“The U.S. Senate: Looking Backward, Moving Forward”

U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), a member of the U.S. Senate since 1978, is chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. His address draws on his Senate tenure and his mastery of issues and political procedure to provide insight into the Senate’s history and its role in American politics.

author in the running.

Peter Burian, chair and professor of classical studies at Duke, added that the announcement would generate a better understanding of Turkey.

“Since Pamuk writes in the European modernist tradition, [his win] opens up a window in Turkey for us, that is particularly accessible because Pamuk is writing in literary traditions we are familiar with and love,” Burian said.

Pamuk’s wide body of works deals with issues of identity and cultural conflict between Eastern and Western nations. His novels all have a deep sense of place, an attachment to his native city, Istanbul.

“Istanbul’s fate is my fate. I am attached to this city because it has made me who I am,” he told Reuters India.

Pamuk’s books have been translated into several languages. “My Name is Red” was translated into English by Goknar.

The Duke professor’s translation was especially important because the panel ofNobeljudges does not usually read nominated works in their original languages. English, a familiar language in dozens of countries, was the means by which Pamuk’s renown spread. ‘“My Name Is Red’ was Pamuk’s breakaway book. It sold 200,000 copies in English and put him on a new level as a writer,” said Goknar, who has always been interested in Pamuk’s work and is good friends with the author.

Goknar is currently writing a book, “Between Orient and Nation: Pamuk and the Turkish Novel.”

Pamuk is now at Columbia University as a visiting writer in residence.

Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi banker and economist, was the other Muslim to win a prestigious Nobel Prize this year. He received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts “to create economic and social development from below.”

In 2004, Yunus spoke to a group ofDuke students at the Fuqua School of Business. The school gave him its 2004 CASE Leadership in Social Entrepreneurship Award.

“The awarding of the Peace Prize is significant because it points out another side of Muslim culture that we are not fully familiar enough with,” Burian said.

“They always have had a great interest in charitable work and self help.”

It is unprecedented that two Muslim individuals received Nobel honors at the same time. “This is a global first, even more stunning that it took place during the holiest of months for Muslims, the month of Ramadan,” Lawrence said.

Both Goknar and Lawrence said there is hope that this huge recognition of Muslim talent will encourage student interest in the Muslim Cultures Focus, which will be offered for the first time this spring.

The program is currently underenrolled and has not reached the minimum 20 students needed to make it viable. As part of the program, Goknar will be teaching a seminar on Turkey, which will cover Pamuk and parts of “My Name is Red.”

Spinning out success

Kasey Kahne, No. 9, celebrates after winning the Bank of America 500 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.

IRAQ from page 2 fails to restore order over the next two months or three months.

He said Sunday he stands by that assessment, and even in the week since his trip to Iraq, there has been an “exponential increase in the killings and the savagery that’s going on over there.”

‘You can see some movement forward, but a lot of movement back,” Warner said pn “Face the Nation” on CBS. “We have to rethink all the options, except any option which says we precipitously pull out, which would let that country fall into a certain civil war at that time, and all of the neighboring countries would be destabilized.”

Bush told reporters last week that he invites a change in strategy if the plan isn’t working. But he also said the U.S. will not leave until the job is done.

Hagel said it is time to change course, but “our options are limited.”

“We need to find a new strategy, away out of Iraq, because the entire Middle East is more combustible than it’s been probably since 1948, and more dangerous,” Hagel said. “And we’re in the middle ofit.”

Democrats long have urged a change in Iraq policy.

Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, the leading Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said there is “no military solution to this conflict” and the United States must pressure Iraqis to take over their country.

“If they’re going to have a civil war, they’re going to have to do it without us,” Levin said on CNN. “This is long overdue. We’ve got to focus Iraqi leadership attention on this by telling them we need to begin a phased redeployment of American troops from Iraq within the next few months.”

Also Sunday, Rep. John Murtha, a decorated Marine veteran who favors withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq, criticized Republicans for referring to him and other war opponents as “Defeatocrats.”

In an opinion piece for The Washington, Murtha said Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and others in the White House have called Iraq war opponents appeasers and pessimists and labeled Democrats the “cut and run” party.

“It’s all baseless name-calling, and it’s all wrong,” wrote Murtha, D-Pa. “Unless, of course, being a Defeatocrat means taking a good hard look at the administration’s Iraq policy and determining that it’s a failure.

“In that case, count me in. Because Democrats recognize that we’re headed for a far greater disaster in Iraq if we don’t change course—and soon. This is not defeatism.

This is realism.”

Murtha, a military hawk and close confidant of top military officials, surprised Washington last year when he called for pulling all troops out of Iraq within months.

Looking ahead to the Nov. 7 elections, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Ken Mehlman, said “the American people aren’t going to say in the face of war we need to be weaker.” merit

Given these stories underscoring one side, perhaps some screen time for the defendants is apt.

Given the occasionally one-sided analysis of the case, the national audience may have learned last night the full extent of the prosecution’s apparent errors. They might also have been introduced to the line of reasoning responsible for “prolacrosse” sentiments of many if not most Duke students.

Although Ed Bradley and “60 Minutes” appear quite conclusive in their judgment of the case, the reality remains that the University, city and nation will have to wait until the spring for any legal processes to address the issue.

Notably, his colleagues were not either; the show appeared somewhat imbalanced as a result.

There has been debate over whether or not Nifong can appear in media inters views as a result of prosecutorial conduct rules. Even so, the program left a distinct feeling of leaving out the other side of the story.

If the program spent six months investigating the issues swirling in Durham, the final production appearing without any recent comment from the prosecution seems surprising. Yet, some other news organizations have made similar pieces stressing the merits of the accusations or most

Did

yDu know it was Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15? Well, neither did most of Duke’s campus. As part of Mi Gente, Duke’s Latino Student Association, we promote events and rammm for this month. Culcatarina rivera tural groups, however, should not be guest column [y responsi

for creating general campus awareness about a month such as this.

We would like to ask why there is no Duke-wide institutional recognition orawareness of this month.

Most of us are aware of Black History Month and there are programming and events to support that, perhaps not as much as there should be. But Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month seems to be an afterthought or something that does not get recognized.

This is not written to pit one culture’s history against another’s. This is written because we share a same root: a lack of awareness. If there was a yearlong awareness ofblack history orLatino history and heritage, these months would be unnecessary. The fact that these months exist in the first place highlights the lack of awareness and the need for a focus on these cultures in mainstream society.

We believe that it is valuable to use this month as an official time when our voice is heard. It’s the official national time to recognize our heritage, history and issues, but this month of engagement and learning unfolds marginally at Duke. Who are we, as Latinos, to convince other students to attend and care about our events? If the Latino students are the only ones attending events to celebrate their heritage, it defeats the purpose. This does a disservice to Duke students, as the campus can benefit greatly from increased awareness of Latino culture and issues.

Hispanic Heritage Month was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1968 by an act of Congress as a week-long period and then was expanded to a 31-day period in 1988. This shows how the month is part of our nation’s institutional history, which sharply contrasts to the situation here at Duke. Mi Gente celebrates it as Latino Heritage Month (LHM), but Duke as an institution has not played any part in recognizing or taking ownership of this month. This burden of celebrating and promoting this month rests mostly with the cultural organization and the Latino/a Studies Initiative. What message does this send?We believe that it shows that

diversity at Duke is more a show than reality.

The University celebrates and promotes how multicultural and diverse it is, but if these minorities feel that Duke’s official programming does not include them, then Duke has been inadequate. Part of creating a diverse student body is extending an institutional welcome and promoting an inclusive official environment. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a wonderful example of this. The University recognizes a national holiday and promotes widespread official programming. You perhaps see administrators and professors taking part in discussions and important talks and dialogues. It feels like MLK Day is part of Duke; it’s thought of as a Duke thing rather than a Black Student Alliance thing. It sends the message that the University cares and that our community should care about that day and what it means for our nation.

Although we recognize that Latino Heritage Month and other heritage months are not exactly analogous to MLK day, we think the similarities are enough that our point is valid. Many different parts of the University, including departments, organizations and students, come together to plan and organize the events for MLK day. There seems to be an official participation on the part of the University.

There is no comparable broad participation in Latino Heritage Month, however. This is an issue of campus awareness and cultural competence.

An appropriate step the University could take would be to earmark financial funds for an annual major Latino Heritage Month speaker that would appeal to the Duke mainstream. Many times their honorariums are beyond Mi Gente’s financial reach, and if the University made a commitment to provide consistent funding, we could work with the Union to bring an annual major speaker for Latino Heritage Month. This would help legitimize Latino issues on campus and increase widespread participation and engagement in Latino Heritage Month.

We, as a student organization, are limited by time, resources and reach. We believe that Duke as an institution is responsible for, and should claim ownership for instilling cultural awareness in its students and to this end, should in some official capacity recognize and participate in Latino Heritage Month.

commentaries

letterto theeditor “60 Minutes” highlights questionable DA practices After watching last night’s episode of “60 Minutes,” in which Ed Bradley expressed the most grave reservations about the Duke lacrosse case and Duke law professor James Coleman strongly denounced District Attorney Mike Nifong’s conduct, we as two proud 2003 Duke graduates feel compelled to write.

We know that our words will have no effect on Nifong since he has demonstrated no ethical concerns of the past.

We hope our letter, however, will offer some benefit for those who value truth in the justice system.

The Duke lacrosse case has demonized and mischaracterized the DukeDurham relationship. To read some accounts from the national media, one would think that Duke’s only relationship to Durham is one of exploitation and

denigration.

In truth, it is actually a thriving relationship of community service and friendship. Many Duke students and alumni call Durham home. This city holds a special place in the hearts of many Dukies past and present. We would hope that this relationship would not be jeopardized by the boundless ambition of a corrupt politician.

After the “60 Minutes” piece, we were appalled by the inconsistencies, falsehoods and paucity of evidence in the case. Conversely, we were moved and inspired by the sincerity and passion with which the three accused lacrosse players proclaimed their innocence.

Nifong has consistently refused to listen to alibis of the defense because he knows that these boys are innocent.

Wouldn’t it be helpful for a prosecutor to know the whereabouts of the defendants during the time in question? Nifong actively chooses to ignore any and all exculpatory evidence and persistently changes the stakes.

The facts of this case could not be any more repugnant than if “Precious” approached Nifong herself with away to get him elected in exchange for the deep pockets of three wealthy Duke students.

We join the chorus of voices in denouncing Nifong for his cynical race baiting. In our view all people of good will would agree that we are all entitled to justice. The justice system should not discriminate among race, class or socioeconomic status. Just because the three accused were born into families of wealth, does not mean that they should be railroaded through the criminal justice system We will forever be proud to say that we are Duke graduates. We hate to think that this demonstrably false allegation would have a future effect on the reporting of any rapes that actually do happen. This case is not about black versus white. It is truth versus injustice. We have unwavering confidence in the power of truth to prevail in Durham, a city that we will always love.

Duke splits weekend matchups Paulus injured in practice by

John Schneider

THE CHRONICLE

Greg Beaton THE CHRONICLE

by

Sophomore point guard Greg Paulus, one of Duke’s three captains for the upcoming season, injured his left foot in a drill during Saturday’s practice, associate athletic director Jon Jackson confirmed

Sunday night.

Pauhis will be reevaluated by Duke’s medical team Monday, at which <3 time the program will be more specific about the nature of the injury, Jackson said.

Several students reported seeing Paulus heavily favoring his left foot Saturday.

Paulus had his right wrist operated on after the end of last season, and he said during Friday’s preseason press conference this summer was the longest period of his life he had gone without athletic activity.

With Paulus likely sidelined, Duke’s options at point guard will include junior DeMarcus Nelson and freshman Jon Scheyer—neither of whom was recruited as a primary ball handler.

“Everybody has to contribute,” Paulus said before the injury Friday. “We don’t have two guys or a few guys to lean on. Everybody has to contribute with their parts. And we understand that.”

On a weekend defined by strong defense, No. 4 Duke managed to split its two games in Norfolk, Va., beating No. 17 William & Mary (8-6), 3-1, Saturday, and falling to No. 3 DUKE 3 Old Dominion (14-2), 1-0, Sun-

day.

Sunday’s loss was the second ODU 1 time this year the Blue Devils (12-4, 2-2 in the ACC) lost to the Lady Monarchs by a margin of one, having fallen 4-3 in double overtime Sept. 17.

“We came out very flat,” head coach Beth Bozman said Sunday. “We had a game plan that we didn’t execute in the first half.”

Old Dominion outshot Duke nine to five in die first half, diough neither team could score until the final minute of the period.

With 23.7 seconds remaining in the half, Lady Monarch Jo Ann van Aswegen managed to slip in the only goal of the game.

Although the Blue Devils bounced back in the second half, strong defense from Old Dominion held Duke to just one second-half shot and kept Duke from knotting the score.

“To their credit, they played a very smart game plan,” Bozman said. “They managed to isolate our play very well. They had a really fast-paced passing game.”

The loss broke a string offive consecutive victories for the Blue Devils, including an upset of No. 1 Maryland Oct. 7.

Duke showed what it was capable ofSaturday, complementing its strong defensive play with two goals by freshman Amie Survilla and one by senior Hilary Linton.

Survilla’s two goals give her eight on the year and helped to show how the Blue Devils’ once-young offense has matured.

“We were young to start the season,” Bozman said. “We’re not young now.”

Duke has had the opportunity to outgrow its youth against tough opponents throughout the year, having now played

five contests against fellow top-five teams The Blue Devils are 2-3 in those matches “The top four teams keep banging on each other’s doors,” Bozman said. “Maryland beat Old Dominion on Saturday and we had opportunities today.”

Although the Lady Monarchs managed to hold the Blue Devils scoreless, Bozman thinks the minor setback will be corrected before the team plays the final two games of the regular season.

“I would call this weekend a learning weekend,” Bozman said. ‘We will make adjustments and be fine for next time.”

Last-place Terps hold Blue Devils scoreless by

Ben Cohen

THE CHRONICLE

After losing to rival North Carolina last Sunday and having its 10 lead at No. 9 Wake Forest erased due to DUKE _ra i n MARYLAND 0 Wednesday, the Blue Devils could have used a relaxing win over Maryland, the lastplace team in the ACC. Instead, Duke’s frustration only grew.

The Blue Devils (7-5-2, 3-2-2 in the ACC) posted a season-high 37 shots—including seven in two overtime periods—but could not find the back of the net as they batded to a scoreless tie with the Terrapins (4-8-3, 0-5-2) Saturday in College Park, Md. “I don’t know if I have the vocabulary to explain how frustrating it is,” head coach Robbie SARA GUERERRO/THE CHRONICLE Church said. “When you enter a match, you look to do two things Duke's defense once again held strong, but the Blue Devils could not connect on any of their 37 shots this weekend in College Park, Md.

The Blue Devils’ recent inability to finish is just another chapter in a season of adversity. They have faced a wide variety of obstacles, from defensive problems to travel troubles on road trips.

“Sometimes, things in life don’t always go your way,” Church

Duke wasted little time in ap-

plying offensive pressure Saturday. Sophomore Lorraine Quinn had three legitimate scoring chances in the first half, includ-

ing one shot that hit the underside of the crossbar and ricocheted straight down onto the goal line before it was cleared.

The Blue Devils tallied 18 shots in the first half, eight of which were on goal and stopped by Maryland goalkeeper Nikki Resnick.

“We went into halftime and they were still alive,” Church said.

“They had hope.”

Maryland remained very much alive in the second half, with Resnick continuing to turn away Duke shots. The ball stayed, for the most part, in Duke’s offensive

zone, although Maryland utilized a counterattack strategy to create offensive opportunities of its own.

Nevertheless, Church felt confident throughout the match that his team would score the game-

winning goal.

“I thought we were going to win the game all the way until the final whistie,” he said. “I thought that playmaker person was going to step up and really take the op-

portunity to win the game for us.”

Duke continued to dominate in the two overdme periods. The Blue Devils had five comer kicks in one span in the second overdme, but diey sdll could not connect.

The game was typical of Duke’s mercurial season. While the offense could not convert opportunities, the defense flourished. Goalkeeper Allison Lipsher made five saves in her sixdi shutout of the year. Despite the defense’s solid performance, though, Duke’s post-game focus was on its lack of finishing touch.

“We really have to concentrate the next few days on practicing on finishing,” senior Darby Kroyer said. “We did a lot of good things, it’s just a matter of whether we can find that goal.”

The Blue Devils return to Durham Thursday when they host Clemson—a team that Church has never beat in his six-year tenure.

Duke also plays home Sunday against No. 6 Florida State.

And with the end of the ACC regular season and the beginning of postseason play quickly approaching, Duke can only hope that it finds away to score some goals and break its streak of mounting frustration.

“This team has faced a lot of adversity this year,” Church said.

“They’re a tough group. They will be ready to play on Thursday night.”

Boston College walk-on Steve Aponavicius never showed a hint of hardship against Virginia Tech, delivering a perfect kicking performance in his football debut.

“All of it was fun, Every minute of it,*he said Thursday night after making two field goals and two extra points to lead Boston College to a 22-3 victory over Virginia Tech. "I justwanted to go out and enjoy it."

The BC defense forced four turnovers to send the Hokies to their second consecutive loss. Boston College (5-1,2-1) is a North Carolina State desperation pass away from being unbeaten. Virginia Tech (4-2,2-2) has lost consecutive games since rising to No. 11 in The Associated Press Top 25.

Although Duke posted its highest point total of the season, it could not stop Florida State’s offense, losing 51-24 Saturday in Wallace Wade Stadium.

The Blue Devils’ current winless streak now sits at 14 games.

“I don’t want to take anything away from Florida State, they are a very good ball team,” defensive tackle Vince Oghobaase said. “They were the better ball team today.

They executed where we didn’t—that’s all I can say about that. We have to learn to seize opportunities as a whole team.”

There were, however, some highlights for the Blue Devils (0-6, 04 in the ACC), who tallied three interceptions and totaled 255 yards in the air. But those improvements served only to mask a game that was otherwise marred by untimely mistakes and missed opportunities.

Duke began the game by quickly falling behind 14-0 on two mistakes. After three successful Blue Devil rushing plays, the Seminoles’ Lawrence Thomas picked up a fumbled snap and returned the ball 36 yards for the game’s first touchdown, just 1:17 into the contest.

After a three-and-out two possessions later, Duke allowed a 51-yard punt return

by Chris Davis all the way to the eight-yard line. On third down, Drew Weatherford’s touchdown pass to De’Cody Fagg gave the Seminoles (4-2, 2-2) a two touchdown lead.

“That first drive of the game really hurt us,” wide receiver Eron Riley said. “When we start off that bad, like when they score a defensive touchdown, that puts you down. But we had the rest of the game to finish playing. Even though the score doesn’t reflect it, I think we came back and played pretty hard.”

The Blue Devils did not help themselves climb out of that early hole when they suffered another major momentum swing going into halftime. In the waning seconds of the first half, Duke faced first-and-goal from the five-yard line with a chance to come within 10 points of the lead. But Duke failed to score, reaching only the oneyard line, and entered halftime down 23-6.

Compounding on Duke’s failure to score to end the half, Seminoles’ running back Antone Smith dashed for an 80-yard touchdown on the first play of the third quarter, putting FSU ahead 30-6.

“We have to finish those red zone drives and when we don’t they come back to bite you,” head coach Ted Roof said.

“They came out on the first play of the second halfand stuck a long one in. That was a big momentum swing. Those two plays were huge in the football game.”

Duke scored its first touchdown with 13:31 remaining in the second quarter when John Talley returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown. It was Talley’s third career interception return for a touchdown, which matches a Duke alltime record.

The ensuing point-after attempt was blocked, though, and Patrick Robinson returned the blocked kick all the way for a defensive two-point conversion.

Similarly, the Blue Devils failed to capitalize after Talley returned another interception to midfield halfway through the second quarter. On their first play after recovering the ball, running backs Justin Boyle and Ronnie Drummer fumbled the exchange on a reverse, giving the ball right back to the Seminoles.

“We made all those mistakes and we still put up points,” Drummer said. “If we

True freshman quarterback Thaddeus Lewis threw for 255 yards and one touchdown Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium, but it was not enough to overcome Florida State's 51 -point offensive outburst. can eliminate those and just execute, we’ll be alright.”

Following the fumble, Leon Wright soared in the back of the endzone to pick off a Xavier Lee pass. The interception set up the Blue Devils’ failed red-zone attempt to end the half.

In the second half, the Seminoles exploded for 205 yards passing, 112 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Weatherford finished the game with four touchdown passes.

Duke responded with a safety four minutes into the half when Oghobaase tackled Seminole running back Lorenzo Booker in the end zone after the Blue Devils downed a punt on the one-yard line.

“On offense we definitely came a long way but we all know that it’s still not good enough,” Drummer said. “Just because we

put up 24 points—we still lost the game.

The only thing that matters is that we got the ‘L’."

One week after a resurgent rushing attack notched 201 yards against Alabama, Duke mustered just 52 yards on the ground Saturday. But Lewis, a true freshman, threw for 255 yards and no interceptions against the Seminoles.

“I think that we’ve shown some really good things,” Roof said. “We’ve shown some improvements in areas, but things that cost you football games—turnovers, kick returns, big plays—those are things that we have to decrease,” “There isn’t any other way to do it but

keep coaching, keep recruiting, keep playing, keep practicing, keep lifting weights, keep studying film. All that stuff is to

Mistakes continue to plague winless squad by

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

There are brief moments when the Blue Devils have shined this season, like when John Talley perfectly played a Drew Weatherford pass and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown.

But turnovers, blocked and missed kicks and other mishaps overshadow these flashgame es, as Duke continues to analysis slip up in the same ways week after week.

“When you look at when we execute, there are a lot of examples of things of success,” head coach Ted Roof said. “And then on the other hand, there are things we have to get corrected—the unforced errors.”

After Talley’s touchdown in the second quarter, a breakdown in blocking allowed Florida State to break through and block the PAT, which the Seminoles returned for two points. The return silenced the Blue Devil fans’ excitement and killed Duke’s momentum following the interception.

Problems in the kicking game are a recurring problem for the Blue Devils, especially during pivotal moments. Against Wake Forest, placekicker Joe Surgan’s 28yard, game-winning field goal was blocked, and in a loss to Alabama, he missed a 31-yard field goal attempt that would have put Duke ahead at the end of the third quarter.

Roof said earlier this week that there was a competition at the placekicker position, but he did not make any changes before the Florida State game. Although the missed PAT may have been the offensive line’s fault, if Duke does not correct its kicking problems, the team should expect to incur similar momentum killers.

Unnecessary mistakes also plagued the Blue Devils’ running game—an area in which they had tremendous success against Alabama. On the opening drive of .

the game, the Blue Devils looked like they were establishing die running game again as they gained positive yardage and a first down on dieir first three runs.

But on third and three from Duke’s 38yard line, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis fumbled the snap. With everyone else on the field searching for the ball, linebacker Lawrence Timmons —who would later block Surgan’s PAT—emerged from the mess, scooped up the ball and headed south for the end zone.

Fumbling snaps has also been a recurring problem for the Blue Devils. Against Virginia, Duke fumbled four snaps. The Blue Devils have had two weeks to correct the problem, but it still plagued Duke Saturday as Lewis fumbled another snap that he recovered late in the 4th quarter.

The early fumble return for a touchdown was a shot to Duke’s njorale at the outset of the game.

Instead of marching down the field and firing themselves up with an early score against Florida State, the Blue Devils had little to be excited about as they found themselves in a familiar hole, down again early in the game.

The missed PATs and bumbled snaps were not the only signs that Duke lacked finesse and looked unrefined. During the game, the Blue Devils were called for a delay of game multiple times, fumbled a reverse attempt, and gave up long scoring plays to Florida State, including an 80-yard touchdown run to open the second half.

Roof said his team works week after week on correcting these kinds ofmistakes but sees mishaps in the game that are not present during practice.

But if Duke cannot find away to eliminate these gameday mistakes, then the Blue Devils will find themselves in a similar position week after week—tantalizingly close to winning their first game of the year but ultimately derailed by the contin-

uing problems.

13 Miami players suspended

by Tim Reynolds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After reviewing a sideline-clearing brawl between players from Miami and Florida International, officials from both schools and their conferences on Sunday announced the suspension of 31 players —13 from the Hurricanes, and 18 from FIU. Each suspended player must sit out his team’s next game for taking part in the ugly melee that marred the team’s Saturday matchup. Miami plays at Duke on Saturday, FIU plays at Alabama Oct. 28.

More sanctions are still possible, officials from both schools said Sunday night.

“These suspensions send a clear and definitive message that this type ofbehavior will not be tolerated,” ACC Commissioner John Swofford said.

The ACC and Miami (4-2) suspended Carlos Armour, Chris Barney, James Bryant, Tyrone Byrd, DajLeon Farr, Ryan Hill, Bruce Johnson, Charlie Jones, Brandon Meriweather, Brian Monroe, Derrick Morse, Randy Phillips and Anthony Reddick.

“I don’t have many bad days,” Miami coach Larry Coker said Sunday morning, long before the suspensions were announced shordy after 10 p.m. “This is a bad day.

And last night was a bad night.”

There were many instances of heated words being exchanged during—and even before—the game. But shortly after halftime, unsportsmanlike turned into unruly.

Bryant pointed at the FIU bench and bowed to the crowd after catching a touchdown pass with 9 minutes left in the third quarter. Moments later, FTU’s Chris Smith wresded

Miami holder Matt Perrelli to the ground and punched him.

McDuffie kicked Perrelli in the helmet. Morse jumped onto the Smith-Perrelli pile, Singleton followed and tried to punch the Hurricanes’ Calais Campbell—and benches began to empty.

‘You’ve got to back up each other,” said Miami quarterback Kyle Wright. ‘You’re not just going to sit out there and let guys get beat up.”

Several players from both sides appeared to throw punches. Meriweather was seen attempting to stomp on FIU players, while an injured Golden Panther swung a crutch menacingly at several Miami players.

Meanwhile, Reddick charged across the field, helmet raised over his head, and slammed it into Mitchell.

“Disgraceful,” Coker said.

The suspensions come at a terrible time for Miami, which has six ACC games remaining—and probably needs five wins to even have a chance at playing for the conference title.

Yes, Miami is playing winless Duke next week, not anyone in the ACC’s upper echelon. Still, the Hurricanes will have to play that game without their best kick returner, their second-best running back, two starters in the secondary, their right guard and their punter.

Plus, starting right tackle Jason Fox and linebacker Jon Reason were injured Saturday night and their availability isn’t known for the Duke game.

So all of a sudden, what could have been an easy game doesn’t look so easy anymore.

“I do have a grip on this program,” Coker said. “Don’t ever doubt that. Don’t ever doubt that

THE CHRONICLE

The four day ITA Mideast Regionals, held in Chapel Hill, ended early for Duke Sunday, as the remaining singles and doubles teams were ousted in the tournament’s

quarterfinals.

Although the

team finished with quarterfinal losses from freshman Amanda Granson in singles, and sophomores Jessi Robinson and Melissa Mang in doubles, head coach Jamie Ashworth was pleased with the performances.

“There were definite positives,” he said, commenting especially on the play of seniors Kristin Cargill and Tory Zawacki who were limited last year by injuries. “The more matches they play, the better we’ll be.”

Thursday began with two singles wins for senior Parker Goyer and a doubles win when she and fellow senior

Clelia Deltour defeated a team from East Tennessee State. Duke built on that success Friday, when the squad totaled six wins in singles and three in doubles. Freshmen Amanda Granson and Elizabeth Plotkin won their singles matches and Granson also won her doubles match with Zawacki against a UNC-Charlotte duo. Ashworth was especially pleased with the freshmen, he said.

On Saturday, the freshmen found the most success in singles as Granson posted wins against players from Tennessee and North Carolina. Plotkin won her first match but eventually fell to Carolina Salge of Clemson. The doubles team of Robinson and Mang was the only one to win Saturday, defeating a team from Kentucky, 8-6.

After the Blue Devils’ success ended Sunday, Ashworth said the team is feeling comfortable, but it needs to work on finishing.

The men’s and women’s cross country teams raced in two different states, with two very differentresults Saturday.

In Fayetteville, Ark., the 20th-ranked women’s team finished second behind fourth-ranked Arkansas at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival. The men’s team finished 26th out of 36 teams at the NCAAPreview Meet in Terre Haute, Ind. Senior Emily McCabe led the women’s team with a fourth-place individual time. The Blue Devils scored 133 points to finish 92 points behind Arkansas, which also won the Bill Dellinger Invitational in Eugene, Ore. Sept.

29. Head coach Kevin Jermyn said Duke significantly closed the gap between the Blue Devils and Arkansas since that race, in which Duke finished fifth.

“We saw a good improvement from competing at Oregon,” Jermyn said. “It was definitely one of our bigger progressions that we’ve made in a race this year.”

Sophomore Maddie McKeever was the second Duke harrier to cross the tape, finishing in ninth place overall.

Jermyn said McKeever’s time—which was closer to McCabe’s Saturday than in Oregon—was the “biggest breakthrough” of the meet.

In preparation for the ACC Championships Oct. 28, Duke will continue to build on its previous performances.

“We’re definitely hungry for more improvements,” Jermyn said. “We’re going to have to continue to improve our fitness levels to repeat a win at ACC Championships, but I think that’s a realistic goal. We feel positive because we’re getting better and better each week.”

On the men’s side, Duke went into the NCAA Preview Meet hoping to beat teams that usually receive at-large bids to the NCAA Championships. Such an accomplishment would increase the Blue Devils’ national respect and their chances of receiving an at-large bid to the meet this year.

Duke, however, did not reach its goal, even though the team felt prepared and confident going into the race, head coach Norm Ogilvie said.

“There were quite a few teams that beat us that we weren’t expecting,” Ogilvie said. “But we’re not throwing up a white flag by any means.”

Ogilvie said Duke’s performance this weekend puts more pressure on the team to qualify for NCAA Championships at the Southeast Regional meet. To make NCAA Championships, the Blue Devils will have to either place as one of the top two teams at Regionals or receive an atlarge bid.

“You like to have options,” Ogilvie said. “It limits your options when you’re forced to beat those teams.”

Senior Keith Krieger led Duke with a 70th-place finish in a field of 243 runners, followed by junior Chris Spooner, who finished in 109th place.

VOLLEYBALL

Blue Devils continue to roll through league by

Dave McMullen THE CHRONICLE

After sweeping Boston College in three games at home Friday night, the Blue Devils remain undefeated in the ACC and in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

With the 30-21, 30-28, 30-17 win, Duke (16-2, 9-0 in the ACC) finished up its stretch of five 0 matches in eight BC 3 days and has a few DUKE days of rest before it travels to Florida this weekend to play Miami and Florida State.

Despite a matchup with the secondplace Seminoles next weekend, Duke did not look past the Eagles (6-11, 4-4) and made sure to secure a win.

“We’ve been really working hard to look at one match at a time, one game at a time,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “The team has been playing with such composure and maturity and determination.”

This philosophy helped the Blue Devils capture the second game after a gritty battle with Boston College. After Duke took an early lead in the game, the Eagles fought back to tie it at six. Apair of service and attack errors by the Blue Devils allowed the Eagles to pull ahead briefly.

Nonetheless, Duke maintained its composure, and effective serving by Ali Hausfeld led to five attack errors by the Eagles, allowing the Blue Devils to take the lead at 17-13. After Duke took a 28-22 lead on a kill by Sue Carls, Boston College clawed back once again to 29-28.

A timeout by the Blue Devils stopped

the Eagles’ run and Duke went into the locker room with a 2-0 advantage.

“If we were going to win, we just had to jump on them and have the momentum going into the third game and take no prisoners,” Carls said. “We just really had to send a message that we weren’t going to let them back into the game because the ACC is one of those conferences where in any given night a team can come back.”

Duke was able to keep the momentum from Carls’ game-winning kill to come out strong in the third game. The Blue Devils scored first on a kill by Rachel Moss, assisted by Hausfeld. Duke quickly built a double-digit lead with 14 players seeing action.

In the first game, the Blue Devils scored the first point on a kill by Carls, also assisted by Hausfeld. Boston College never challenged for the lead.

Despite two timeouts by Boston College, Duke won the game, 30-21. Moss recorded the final three kills for the Blue Devils. The freshman finished with 13 kills to lead the team.

Libero Jenny Shull had nearly half of her season-high 31 digs in the first game.

She now has 1,293 career digs, placing her fifth on Duke’s all-time list.

“We are so thrilled.... but we have a long ways to go,” Nagel said. “The only thing we’re thinking about right now is trying to prepare for next weekend, where we’ll be going away for a couple of matches. But first I want them to rest some, so we can hit it early next week as we prepare for Florida State and Miami.”
