French Sci Lacrosse allegations change again opens its doors, labs by

Adam Nathan

THE CHRONICLE

Four years of construction and $ll5 million later, the French Family Science Center—one of the most significant additions to West Campus in recent years—is now open for classes and research.

The 280,000-sq. ft. center—founded with a $3O million gift from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and named for Melinda French Gates, Trinity ’B6 and Fuqua ’B7—brings the chemistry, biology and physics departments together under one roof.

“I’m excited. The building represents in a really powerful symbolic way our commitment to science research and education,” Provost Peter Lange said. “I’m pleased with it architecturally and prac-

tically.”

Stephen Nowicki, dean of natural sciences, said the FSC will play a major role in bringing the sciences at Duke into the physical and academic spotlight.

“In a sense, you can see the FSC as

being the next big piece of the big puzzle of the science and engineering complex,” he said. “It brings everybody in the sciences closer together, running from the [Duke University] Medical Center to the Biological Sciences Building.”

Nowicki said the FSC was designed by the same faculty members who now occu-

py its labs and offices.

The architects, Moore Ruble Yudell and the Hillier Group, worked closely with professors to modify the spaces to SEE FRENCH SCIENCE ON PAGE 8

The alleged victim in the lacrosse case told investigators Dec. 21 that Reade Seligmann did not assault her, and she changed several other details given in previous interviews about the March 13 incident, according to court papers filed by the defense Thursday.

In an April interview with investigators, the alleged victim said she was “100-percent” sure Seligmann had forced her to perform oral sex on him.

Last month, however, she claimed Seligmann did not commit any sex act on her and only watched, saying he was getting married the following day, according to the notes of Linwood Wilson, an investigator for the Durham District Attorney’s Office.

In previous interviews, the alleged victim had claimed the alleged rape took place shortly before the two dancers left the house close to 1 a.m.

In her most recent account of events, however, the alleged victim said the attack occurred between 11:35 p.m. and 12 a.m., which the defense motion states is contradicted by both the woman’s and Seligmann’s cell phone records.

The alleged victim conducted four phone conversations between 11:11 p.m. and 11:39 p.m., and Seligmann received a phone call at 11:50 p.m. from his girlfriend.

“According to the accuser’s most recent telling, she apparently spoke with someone at her father’s home for seven minutes during the time that she was planning her nude dance routine, during the time that she was dancing and then as she was fleeing to the car,” defense attorneys stated in the court papers, after having reviewed the cell phone records.

Pentagon revises duty limit

Bush's Iraq plan draws opposition

By Tom Raum THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush’s plan to send more troops to Iraq ran into a wall of criticism on Capitol Hill on Thursday as administration officials drew confrontational, sometimes mocking challenges from both Democrats and Republicans.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in response that the administration might abandon the increase if the Iraqi government does not do its part, but he provided no timetable.

“I think most of us, in our minds, are thinking of it as a matter of months, not 18

months or two years,” he told the House Armed Services Committee.

President Bush and top members of his national security team sought to rally support for the troop buildup a day after he unveiled his plan for turning around a conflict that has lasted nearly four years and cost more than 3,000 American military lives.

Instead, Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice found themselves embroiled in the first pitched exchanges in a battle that is likely to dominate Congress for months or longer and is already shaping the 2008 presidential election.

“I think this speech given last night by

this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it’s carried out,” Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., a potential 2008 presidential contender, told Rice.

While he is a Republican, administration officials were defending the plan for the first time to the Democratic-controlled

Congress.

Bill Nelson, D-Fla., noted his own past support for the administration on the war but said he could not continue.

He declared, “I have not been told the truth over and over again by administration witnesses, and the American people have not been told the truth.”

U.S.-led forces detain 6 Iranians by

Kim Gamel

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq United States-led forces detained five Iranians Thursday, after a raid on a government office flying an Iranian flag, Iraqi officials and witnesses said, as President Bush vowed to isolate Iran and Syria as part of a new strategy to quell violence in Iraq.

The multinational forces entered the building overnight, detained the Iranians and confiscated computers and documents, two senior local Kurdish officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.

Six people suspected of being involved in attacks against Iraqi civilians and military forces were initially detained, the U.S. military said in a statement. One was later released. The statement did not identify the nationalities of the suspects.

ABC News, quoting Iraq’s Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, reported that U.S. forces tried and failed later Thursday to seize more people at Irbil’s airport.

That raid resulted in a tense, armed standoff with Kurdish peshmerga militia forces, the television news organization said.

“There weren’t any casualties, but it was

a split second really for a disaster to happen,” Zebari told ABC News.

The arrests in Irbil drew condemnation from the regional Kurdish government and concern from Iraqi officials in Baghdad, who are trying to maintain close ties with both Iran and the United States, despite the hostility between the two.

It was the second effort by the United States to target Iranians in less than a month.

The raids also came as U.S. officials repeated long-standing accusations that Iran is encouraging the violence in Iraq by supplying money and weapons.

For the first time since President George W. Bush mobilized the National Guard and Reserve after the Sept. 11 attacks, the Pentagon is abandoning its limit on the time a citizen-soldier can be required to serve on active duty.

House passes stem cell bill The Democratic-controlled House passed a bill Thursday bolstering embryonic stem cell research, which advocates say shows promise for numerous medical cures. President Bush vetoed identical legislation last year, and the White House promised he would veto it again Thursday.

State Farm owes $2.5 million A jury on Thursday awarded $2.5 million in punitive damages to a couple who sued State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. for denying their claim after Hurricane Katrina, a decision that could benefit hundreds of other homeowners challenging insurers for refusing to cover billions of dollars in storm damage.

Anti-war activists organize Activists angered by President Bush's decision to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq rushed Thursday to organize protests from New York to San Francisco.

Durham District Attorney Mike Nito drop rape charges against three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team Dec. 22 has led many legal experts to evaluate the case in a more critinews cal light.

Although charges of analysis kidnapping and sexual offense against David Evans, Trinity ’O6, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann remain, some law professors said the frequendy changing testimony of the alleged victim could further dismantle the prosecution’s case.

The alleged victim’s recent claim that she was not penetrated by a penis—an action that defines rape under North Carolina law —undermined the testimonial evidence that the prosecution needed to convict the players of rape.

Separate witness testimonies have provided conflicting versions of the events that occurred at the March 13 party. According to court documents filed by the defense, the alleged victim told prosecutors Dec. 21 that Seligmann did not commit sex acts on her, as she previously alleged, and instead stood and watched.

“The re-working of the claims appears to be inconsistent with the testimony of the victim and would arguably cast doubt on its credibility,” law professor Paul Haagen said. “The witness is no longer

Reeve said she decided to step down for personal and professional reasons and that she has enjoyed her time at the University.

Kernel Dawkins, vice president of campus services, said an overall evaluation of the parking office will also be conducted following Reeve’s departure.

“We’ll just be looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the team—looking to strengthen the parking administrative team,” he said.

Reeve said she chose to resign shortly after her husband’s retirement last year.

She added that her family intends to move to Beaufort, N.C., where they purchased property several years ago.

“I love Duke, and it’s been great,” she said. “Every day when I drove up Chapel Drive, it never got old.”

Dawkins said that since Reeve’s resignation was unexpected, a decision has not yet been made about who will replace her.

He noted, however, that until a permanent director is chosen, he expects Reeve to remain in a “consulting role.”

Administrative officials will take the results of the upcoming review into consideration when choosing Reeve’s successor, Dawkins said.

Chuck Cattoti, director of events management, will take on an interim leadership role in Reeve’s stead.

Caroline McGeough THE CHRONICLE

Duke students applying too late Monday morning for spring-semester Blue Zone permits were placed on a waitlist

and must now park on either Central or East campuses, Kernel Dawkins, vice president of campus services, confirmed

Wednesday.

“We have enough available parking for undergraduate students. The issue right now is location,” said Cathy Reeve, director of parking and transportation service, who recently announced plans to resign.

Reeve said Parking and Transportation Services will perform space counts in coming days to determine which spaces in the Blue Zone are consistently available and distribute permits accordingly.

“The last thing you want to do is then have a student call you and say, T’ve got a permit but I can’t find a place to

park,”’ she said.

Although Dawkins said this is the first year the Blue Zone has been filled, Reeve said it has happened before.

Students returning this semester from study abroad programs said the permit application process routinely puts students who did not obtain full-year permits at a disadvantage.

“Every year when study abroad students come back, we can’t always place them in the Blue Zone immediately,” Reeve said.

Junior Anne Knox Morton studied in Paris this past semester and is among those now waitlistedfor Blue Zone parking. Morton said she called from Paris to try to reserve a permit, but was told by Parking and Transportation Services representatives that applicants were unable to reserve parking permits until SEE BLUE ZONE ON PAGE 10

much earlier than current tests allow.

In trials, the revolutionary test identified drug-resistant virus molecules at levels of 0.01 percent, improving upon presently available techniques, which can only determine drug-resistant viruses at levels of 20 percent, said Feng Gao, an associate professor at the Human Vaccine Institute and one of the lead scientists in the study.

“Our test looks at individual virus molecules instead of whole populations,” he said. “That makes it about 1,000 times more accurate than currently available tests.”

Individual strains of HIV that become resistant to drugs may not initially seem to

be dangerous, but they are quickly able to proliferate and make the limited number of drugs available to combat AIDS ineffective at fighting the disease, Gao said “Once a resistant strain [of HIV] evolves in the body, it has the ability to spread very quickly,” he added; “Once infected, the body makes about 10 billion new virus particles a day, and even if only 0.01 percent of those are immune, that still adds up to 1 million resistant virus molecules.”

Although the new approach to identifying drug resistance in HIV is still in the research stages, it has the potential.to SEE AIDS TEST ON PAGE 10

Kaplan claims schools Compass to manage to count highest LSAT off-campus Starbucks Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

Many law schools may soon alter their policies for reviewing LSAT scores, according to a recent study conducted by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions.

The survey found that many law schools reported that they would begin to review an applicant’s highest LSAT score, rather than his or her average scores—a change that could encourage students to take the test multiple times.

But several law school admissions officers, as well as a representative from the Law School Admissions Council—which administers the LSAT—have recently questioned the veracity of Kaplan’s results.

“That’s not the info that we’re getting,” said Wendy Margolis, a spokesperson for the LSAC, in regards

to

Kaplan’s study.

Bill Hoye, associate dean for admissions and financial aid at Duke School of Law, said he would not be surprised if prospective law students would succumb to the pressure of taking the LSAT a number of times.

“I just hope they don’t,” he said.

In June, the American Bar Association announced that it would no longer require law schools to submit students’ averageLSAT scores for data purposes, and that the highest score would instead be used. In response, Kaplan surveyed 170 law schools’ admissions officers and found that a majority of respondents were already shifting their policies.

Duke docs develop removable tattoo ink by

Rebecca Wu

THE CHRONICLE

People with former girlfriends’ names or random Chinese characters mistakenly tattooed on their bodies will soon have ac-

cess to a new, much more easily removable tattoo ink.

The new tattoo ink is called Freedom-2 and will be produced by the company Freedom-2 LLC. It is made up of Food and Drug Administration-approved biodegradable and bioabsorbable pigments. Whereas removals currendy take about eight to 10 laser treatments, the new tattoo ink can be removed in a single session.

Invented by Kim Koger, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and co-founder of Freedom-2, and Bruce Klitzman, senior director of Duke’s Kenan Plastic Surgery Research Laboratories and associate research professor of surgery, will enable people to get tattoos without worrying about long and expensive removal procedures.

“As tattoos got more sophisticated, we had to use multiple lasers to take care ofall the different pigments,” Koger said. “Even then, after 10 treatments costing about $lO,OOO, we would only be able to turn the artwork into a smudge.”

Koger and Klitzman looked instead to create a more sophisticated ink that would be susceptible to a single lower-energy laser.

“Black tattoo ink, for example, is made up of little pieces of coal and requires lots of energy to pulverize the entire pigment particle,” Klitzman said.

The new ink, however, uses microencapsulation technology, which puts a shell around pigment particles that would normally be eliminated by the body. Remov-

ing the ink only requires breaking the shell, which can be done with a single laser, Klitzman added.

The body then breaks down the pigments.

The new Freedom-2 ink is not only more easily removed but it is safer as well, the inventors said “Traditionally, what is concerning

about the

tattoo

industry is that they’re

heavily FDA-regulated,” said Sandy

not

Tsao, associate program director for procedural dermatology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. “Many times the inks contain carcinogenic and toxic ingredients, such as lead and zinc, which are very difficult to remove.”

Roger, who is also assistant consulting

professor of plastic surgery at the University, said that while tattoo inks are now made of a variety of pigments, from heavy metals to automobile paint, the new ink uses polymers and pigments safe for the body and approved by the FDA for many other applications.

According to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, one in four American adults has at least one tattoo, and within that group, 17 percent have considered removal.

“An interesting feature is that, on one hand, people ask how many people have tattoos and want them removed, but the real question is how many people who don’t have tattoos will consider it if it’s much more easily removed,” Klitzman said.

From casual surveys he conducted, Klitzman estimated 80 percent of today’s youth would get a tattoo if it was a safe process and the tattoo could be easily removed.

“I think a backlash of [the ink] would be that people will become careless in their decisions about getting tattoos,” said Aaron Gingey, a tattoo artist for Tattoo Company, located on Ninth Street in Durham.

Gingey added that the new ink made the work of tattoo professionals seem temporary, which is the complete opposite of what he believes tattoos represent.

Tattoo artists are also concerned about the quality of the ink, Gingey added.

“I don’t want to invest in something that will not come out well,” he said. “It’s hard to tell how a tattoo pigment will age.

With tattoos, it’s a matter of time.”

Freedom-2 aims to release the new tattoo ink by the end of 2007.

Though Compass took over all of Duke’s food services this academic year, the Starbucks at the American Tobacco Complex did not change hands until recendy.

“We had been looking at other alternatives [for the management],” Wulforst said. “We had a Starbucks operator in Florida, and we were looking at Starbucks taking it back. It wasn’t a top priority.”

Duke, however, remained committed to keeping a Starbucks at the location, said Kernel Dawkins, vice president of campus services.

“The developer of the site was very interested in having a Starbucks,” he said.

“We’re a major tenant ofAmerican Tobacco and we have a major interest in downtown Durham. We were playing a major role in making it better.”

Dawkins said Compass’ management of this Starbucks, however, does not guarantee its management of an on-campus Starbucks, which is expected to open in the fall.

“It’s conceivable they would operate a Starbucks on campus, but it’s almost as

Starbucks standards, so we had

likely that we would use a different operator,” he said. “Starbucks certainly could be on campus through Compass Group, but [the American Tobacco Complex] Starbucks has nothing to do with it.”

Although the Starbucks will not accept FLEX, customers can use rechargeable Starbucks cards, which Compass may sell on FLEX on campus, Austero said.

Wulforst said, however, that the Starbucks may change its policy.

“I think what’ll happen is there will be people at Duke who have FLEX accounts that will want to purchase products from them,” Wulforst said. “The amount ofFLEX business that previously occurred there was not significant, but if there’s a demand, we may change the

system.”

Compass is also using the Starbucks to expand into the community, Austero said.

“The location of the store is very attractive,” she said. “We’re always looking at ways to expand our business. Certainly, for us, it’s away to get our name into the Durham marketplace.”

With Duke’s support, Austero said she looks with hope toward the success of the Starbucks and Compass’ debut in Durham.

“We have a franchise with Starbucks, and it advantaged both them and us for us to take it over,” Austero said. “It will be open on the 16th, and we expect it’ll do well.”

FRENCH SCIENCE fompage, suit their preferences “The architecture of French is intimately linked with the way we use the building to perform science,” Nowicki said. “In the FSC, the introductory labs on the ground floor look up into the more complex labs in through the atrium; it’s almost poetic.”

University Architect John Pearce said the FSC was designed to physically and logistically fit in with the two existing science buildings it straddles: the Biological Sciences Building and the Physics Building.

“Its close proximity to the Bryan Center is excellent—it’s very close to the main traffic of West Campus,” said David Beratan, chair of the chemistry department.

“I think the students will love the interaction and public spaces, even if they aren’t using the classrooms here.”

Philip Benfey, chair of the biology department, said administrators wanted the FSC to enhance and encourage interactions at all levels between faculty, graduates and undergraduates.

“Architecturally, they’ve managed to pull it off,” Benfey said. “I expect it to be a hub of activity. It certainly has that possibility. It will be a magnet for people to discuss things, sciences and otherwise.”

The FSC contains cutting-edge research facilities that bring together the chemistry, physics and biology departments.

“The FSC enhances Duke’s research capacity enormously, and it brings the biology department together for the first time in 20 years,” Benfey said.

[Building] was not acceptable for doing modern research,” said Eric Toone, professor of chemistry.

Nowicki described the space as a

21st-century facility that could have im-

plications for the way the sciences are taught at Duke.

He added that the ESC will help Duke recruit postdoctoral.researchers, graduate

students, doctoral candidates and undergraduate science majors.

“You can have great ideas, but if you don’t have people to implement them, you don’t get far very fast,” he said.

The move to the ESC by all three departments will be complete by the end of the semester, Nowicki said.

He added that every natural science course this semester will be taught in the ESC, except for introductory chemistry and organic chemistry classes.

Toone said there have been some concerns among faculty that the new building does not have enough teaching classrooms.

The largest lecture hall in the ESC holds up

100 people.

“It’s a problem that is endemic to West Campus,” Toone added.

He said that unless the Department of Chemistry decides to split up the big undergraduate teaching classes, they will have to be taught in some other building.

“Is the building perfect? No. No building ever is,” Toone said. “Is it a huge step up from Gross? Absolutely.”

Senior Jeff Ackermann, a chemistry major, said he was very excited about the new building.

“I think that there will be a lot less people skipping chemistry classes when they don’t have to make the long walk to the Gross Chemistry Building,” he said.

“What remains to be seen is whether its chairs are as comfortable as those in Gross Chem.” to

Harvard unveils plan for huge expansion Officials at Harvard University announced plans Thursday for a multibillion-dollar expansion that will transform the university into one of the world’s top centers for stem-cell research.

The expansion includes plans for a science complex, a museum, new student housing, parks and a public square covering more than 250 acres.

The plan is the largest expansion in the school’s history and will take place over the next 50 years. During the first 20 years of the expansion, Harvard aims to build between 4 and 5 billion square feet of buildings and create at least s,ooojobs.

Construction is slated to begin this summer, on a 500,000-square-foot science complex to house stem-cell research and other institutes.

The university presented the plan to Boston officials Thursda, but has not revealed the final cost of the project or who will fund it.

Michigan resumes admissions The University of Michigan is resuming its rolling admissions process, which was put on hold when a federal appeals court ordered it to stop considering applicants’ race and ethnicity, in line with the state’s Proposal 2, voted upon in November.

During the legal considerations, the university placed its admissions process on hiatus. It will now not use affirmative action in admitting its students. It will not consider race or ethnicity but will aim to admit top students.

The state had argued it would be unfair to have a class in which some students had been admitted through affir-

mative action and some had not, but Provost Teresa Sullivan said the university could not delay admissions any longer.

Carter to speak at Brandeis amid conflict After weeks of controversy, officials at Brandeis University have decided that former President Jimmy Carter will speak on campus about his new book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.”

According to many Middle East experts, the book is unreasonably critical of Israel. Many students and faculty said the university—which was founded by Jewish leaders and has attracted many Jewish students —was not willing to accept Carter’s ideas criticizing Israel.

French professor of champagne named Early this week, a leading French business school, Reims Management School, appointed a head of champagne to lead research in the champagne industry.

The professor of champagne, Stephan Charters, an international wine expert, will teach specialized courses, develop research initiatives and work closely with all of the major champagne houses.

Yale concert ends in bloody brawl After an a cappella concert this week in San Francisco, several singers in Yale University’s group the Baker’s Dozen were attacked by a group of locals.

improve the health outcomes of those infected with the disease, said Charles Hicks, an associate professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases.

“I don’t think there has ever been an infection that has had a bigger impact on human civilization in recent history as AIDS has,” Hicks said. “This test might make it possible to allow us to detect when viruses are becoming immune to our treatments earlier and, as a result, alter treatments to improve health outcomes.”

Though the Duke scientists specifically applied their research to AIDS, the technique can also be used to combat other infectious diseases, Gao said. Patients with other pathogens that develop immunity to pharmaceuticals such as hepatitis and tuberculosis will also be able to benefit, once the test becomes commercially available, he added.

The next step in the research is to use the treatment to develop a kit that can be put into widespread use at a low price, Gao said.

“I have to acknowledge that we are at the very early stages of learning how this test could work,” Hicks said. “Our real challenge is to go out into the clinic and figure out what kind of capabilities this test has.”

Although the scientists said the test may be years away from everyday use, they are hopeful that it could revolutionize the way we treat infectious diseases.

“I think it’s incredibly promising, and I think it will ultimately become a tool that people will be using at a regular basis in the clinic,” Hicks said.

Students who decide to walk or bike to campus will get 12 single-day Blue Zone passes for free, thanks to a plan implemented by Duke Student Government.

Monday morning.

“They said they would put me on the

waitlist and let me know,” Morton said about her experience Monday morning.

“But no one has called.”

David Snider, Duke Student Government vice president for athletics and campus services, said the DSG Executive Board met Wednesday night and discussed the issue but has not yet spoken with administrators.

“The conclusion that we all came to is it’s an avoidable problem based on a solution that we had worked with Transportation on nine months ago,” Snider said.

Snider said the DSG Executive Board agreed the solution was not to free up additional parking spaces but to reduce demand for Blue Zone spaces by increasing

the incentive for off-campus students to bike or walk to school.

The program gives off-campus residents who bike or walk 12 fr£e day permits per semester. Although it is already in effect, the program was poorly advertised and has not garnered much interest, Snider said.

Dawkins said the second semester parking permit application process is designed to be “first come, first served.”

“We do not give preference to residential versus commuter [students],” Reeve said, echoing Dawkins’ statement.

Students like Morton, however, said the administration should take permit applicant residency into consideration.

“I think it would be more fair to give the students who are coming back to West priority over off-campus students,” she said.

“It’s clearly frustrating for anyone,” Snider said. “The assumption is thatthere

Duke Students, Faculty,

is a [parking] space available if you’re living on West Campus.”

Dawkins said the administration is considering other available lots, in addition to the open spaces in the Red Zone and on East.

Reeve said Parking and Transportation Services is working on a comprehensive plan that will be finalized within the next few months.

“But that does not answer the issue of now,” she said.

Snider said DSG mentioned opening otherWest Campus lots such as the Green Zone and the Card parking lot to students as another remedy to the situation.

He said the issue is reducing demand for permits, because more parking space is not likely to be obtained.

Reeve said she hopes students will start getting permits off of the waitlist within the next week.

Nifong’s move to drop the rape charges may be a tactical one, law professor Thomas Metzloff said.

used applicants’ average LSAT scores in the admissions process, and after the ABA policy change, 74 percent reported to Kaplan that they had already begun to review the highest test score instead.

“We took this survey just a couple months after the decision was made, and these were the results that we found,” said Russell Schaffer, senior communicadons manager at Kaplan.

Despite the results, a number of top law schools—including those at Harvard University, Yale University and Columbia University—have stated that they have no intention of changing their previous policies.

Hoye said Duke would continue its policy of reviewing all the LSAT scores ofits applicants.

Hoye added that throughout fall recruitment events with colleagues from peer institutions—including the law schools of Stanford University, New York University and Cornell University—admissions officers generally

The clearing of the rape charges could free the prosecution from having to defend aspects of the case that lack support—such as the issue of missing DNA evidence and strengthen its chances of convicting the accused of the other charges, he said. “[Dropping the rape charges] protects Nifong if the DNA problem blows up in his face,” Metzloff said. “If you drop the rape it provides some insulation. Did something really change two weeks ago, or was he feeling the heat from the DNA hearing? He did it to protect himself.”

Although Nifong’s Dec. 22 actions relieved the accused students of the most serious charge placed upon them, the remaining charges of sexual assault and kidnapping could hand them lengthy prison sentences if they are convicted, Metzloff added. “[Dropping the rape charges] doesn’t simplify the case as much as you may think,” he said. “These are still felonies that result in many years in potential incarceration. Sexual assault can be very serious.”

Under North Carolina law, a man can only be convicted of rape if there is sufficient evidence that his penis penetrated the victim’s vagina, law professor James Coleman said. In her most recent testimony, the alleged victim in the lacrosse case could not confirm that the object that entered her was a penis, forcing the prosecution to drop therape charges.

Coleman said the increasingly contradictory testimonies given by the alleged victim provides the defense with a valuable asset in getting the remaining charges —

“The more significant effect is that it undermines the witness’s credibility on all the charges she has made,” Coleman said. “It’s extraordinary that a witness testimony changed so drastically nine months after the incident. A jury would find it hard to believe her. That’s just not credible. It’s like the end of a bad mystery novel where all the ends are tied up.”

The ever-shifting testimony of the prosecution’s primary witness and the mounting disapproval of Nifong’s handling of the case could lead to the case’s eventual end, Haagen said.

“Does this case look like it’s moving toward an implosion? Yes, it is moving toward that,” he said.

“The people who have been reporting to me will begin reporting to Chuck,” Reeve said.

In the coming weeks, officials will begin to initiate a national search to look for an appropriate replacement for the position, Dawkins said. The duties of parking management include permit distribution, controlling lot occupancy, ticketing and handling the University’s bus system, among other responsibilities.

“Obviously, there’s a transition, and there are lots of things to be caught up on,” Dawkins said.

Reeve has been at Duke since 2001, when she left her post as parking and transportation director at North Carolina State University. Prior to her position at N.C. State, Reeve also served in transit roles in a number of North Carolina cities.

disagreed with Kaplan’s assessment that law school admissions would shift to focusing on an applicant’s highest test score.

“We had this question come up over and over again, and we each had the very same answer,” he said.

Hoye said the aggregate LSAT score remains the most accurate statistical figure in predicting which applicants will perform the best in the first year oflaw school.

He added that he looks for an explanation—such as illness on test day or other extenuating circumstances—in the instance an applicant takes the LSAT multiple times.

“I’d like to see that there’s a reason [for an applicant to retake the test],” he said.

Hoye also emphasized that the LSAT remains only one piece in the admissions process.

Despite some criticism of the study, Schaffer said Kaplan stood by the results.

“It wasn’t as if we handpicked 170 law schools. We actually surveyed all the law schools that were accredited, and these were the answers that we got,” he said.

lead, but after that, the rest of regulation was back and forth.

The Duke that opponents used to fear never seemed to stop with a 7-0 run and a two-point lead. The run would extend longer, dragging out into something like a 17-3 run that all but ended the game.

Those late 19905, early 2000 Blue Devil squads might’ve started slow sometimes, but they sure knew how to finish. (See: Duke vs. Maryland, Cole Field House, 2001; Duke vs. Maryland, Minneapolis, Final Four 2001.)

Despite that very mortal 7-0 run, DeMarcus Nelson still stepped up to nail a huge game-tying three-pointer. It was a classic Dukejust-finds-ways-to-win moment—especially after a stop on the otherend sent the game into overtime. But then the Blue Devils lost in overtime, which hadn’t happened with Coach K on the sidelines in Cameron since January 1985. Seriously.

The Georgia Tech game was more of the same. Duke was just about dead in the water, trailing 55-45 with 8:29 left. But its 8-0 run over three minutes looked like vintage Blue Devil Basketball. The Yellow Jacket fans were silent, Georgia Tech looked confused and Duke seemed poised to win the game But then neither team scored for almost two minutes, and when someone finally did it was Georgia Tech’s freshman guard Javaris Crittenton, who threw down a dunk (after just abusing Lance Thomas and stealing the ball from him) that sparked a 10-0 Yellow Jacket run. Duke didn’t score from the 5:29 mark until 1:40 remained. Game over.

Look, I know it’s not fair to compare every Duke team to the 37-2 squad from 1999 or the national championship SEE FANAROFF ON PAGE 18

The retirements, which The Chronicle first reported last July, will take place during the Jan. 28 Boston College game for Williams and the Feb. 4 Florida State game for Redick.

“Both of these players are deserving of this honor,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. “They handled their responsibilities in the classroom as well, which makes us as proud as any basketball honors bestowed upon them. They’re wonderful young men and both nights will be very special for Duke.”

The retirements will be the 12th and 13th such honors bestowed upon former Duke players.

Williams was drafted fifth overall last June by the Adanta Hawks. At Duke, he was twice named National Defensive Player of the Year and was a first-team All-American as a senior. He left Duke as the school’s alldme leader in blocked shots and rebounds.

“It is truly an honor to have my number hanging in the rafters with so many great players,” Williams said. “It’s a moment I will cherish forever and an honor that wouldn’t be possible without the players and coaches I was fortunate enough to work with.”

Redick left Duke last spring as one of the most decorated players in NCAA history. He holds Duke’s all-time records in points and three-pointers made, and he was named National Player of the Year by at least one organization in his junior and senior years. He is the ACC’s all-time leading scorer, and he holds the NCAA’s record for three-pointers made in a career.

“I am honored to be recognized by Duke in this way,” Redick said. “It is humbling to have my name mentioned with some of the greatest players in Duke history. All of the individual accomplishments I achieved were the result of being on great teams, including the players, coaches, support personnel and the best fans in college basketball.”

Four potential recruits and one commit are planning to be in attendance for the top-three showdown. The high school stars could be valuable replacements for some of the current Blue Devils who will graduate in the coming years.

The five include sisters Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike, junior standout Kellie Watson, sophomore Kelly Paris and senior Jasmine Thomas, who committed to the class of 2011.

Cy-Fair High School junior and freshman sisters Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike will make their first trip to Duke this weekend. Nneka is a highly-touted recruit out of Cypress, Texas, who is ranked fourth-best forward in the nation by scout.com. Although Nneka is slightly undersized for the position at 6-foot-l, her athleticism and jumping ability make up for it as she has averaged 22 points and 14 rebounds per game while shooting 62 percent from the floor.

“What strikes me most about Nneka is her athleticism,” said Rick Risinger, her AAU coach. “She plays a lot bigger than her frame because of her ability to jump.”

Her younger sister, Chiney, will accompany Nneka and their family on the trip.

Chiney is already receiving notice as a freshman and is particularly close to her out

sister, Risinger said.

Nneka has the potential to add even more versatility to Duke’s current freshman class, if she signs. And if Chiney would choose to follow her sister to Duke, she would be part of an entirely different Blue Devil team that will likely not feature any of the current players.

Out of lonia High School in Michigan, Watson is just beginning her college search and has narrowed her list to about 10 schools, including Duke, Notre Dame and Michigan State. Like Nneka, she is a versatile player that could play a number of positions for the Blue Devils as a dynamic three or four.

One concern about Watson is her troubles with injuries in the past. Midway through last season —the Michigan women’s high school basketball season occurred during the fall of 2006 —Watson underwent surgery to repair a torn right labrum in October and subsequently had her left labrum repaired in December.

Before the injury, however, she was averaging 23.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.5 blocks through 14 games. In the short span, Watson broke lonia’s single-season scoring record with 1,160 points.

“She is kind of eager to get back, but I think the rest is kind of a good break for her,” Andy Barr, her high school coach said. “Up to that point, she had been playing on four teams throughout the summer, SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

SHELL SHOCKED

lICLE FILE

W.BBALL from page 1 78-75, and left the court with their first

NCAA tide. The game that Duke was supposed to win went instead to the young and fearless Terrapins.

“I just feel utter disappointment right now for my players,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said after the game that night in Boston. “It’s killing me right now. Not for myself, but for my players.”

But that was then, and this is now. Now is a new season, and the Blue Devils’ first chance since last April to avenge the devastating loss. Now is a match that features two undefeated teams battling for the top spot in the national rankings: the third-ranked Blue Devils (17-0, 3-0 in the ACC) against No. 1 Maryland (18-0, 2-0) 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“Now we can finally say we’re excited to play Maryland,” Abby Waner said. “Because before it was like ‘we can’t look ahead and

we can’t think about it too much.’”

Waner leads a new-look Duke squad that lost three seniors after last season.

Team leader Currie, power forward Mistie Williams and sharp-shooting guard Jessica Foley —a trio that accounted for an average 33.2 points per game—all were drafted to the WNBA. Waner and her teammates Lindsey Harding and Alison Bales have all increased their output, but the team’s scoring is eight points below its average last season as it has taken on a new, defensive

idendty.

Maryland returns all but one player from its championship team and appears to have picked up right where it left off.

After posting 111 points against Miami Jan. 10, the Terps are averaging 88.8 points per game and outscoring their opponents by an average of 33 points.

“I don’t know that they have a weakness,” Goestenkors said. “They have such a good inside-outside attack.”

Four of Maryland’s starters —Crystal Langhome, Shay Doron, Marissa Coleman and Toliver—were named to the preseason “Wade Watch” list for the State Farm Wade Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top women’s player. It is the first time in the history of the award that four teammates have made the list.

Although the Blue Devils have not produced as much offense as Maryland this year, they are holding their opponents to a paltry 45.9 points per game and have a scoring margin nearly equal to Maryland’s.

“We’re preparing like it’s a normal game,” Harding said. “But, on the court, I know I want to set the tone offensively and

defensively.”

Also in Duke’s favor, it has played a harder schedule to date than its ACC foe.

The Blue Devils have faced five ranked teams prior to conference play while Maryland has played just two, with then-No. 18 Michigan State being the highest ranked opponent it has seen.

lAI HO

m

“We’ve seen a lot of great teams and done extremely well against them,” Goestenkors said. “I think we have a lot of confidence against very good teams, and Maryland is one of the best.”

Duke will be helped by a sellout crowd in Cameron Saturday—a sign of the increasing rivalry between the two schools. Similarly, Maryland has already sold out its match up with Duke Feb. 18 in College Park.

“We’re going to come out and approach the game the same we always do,” Waner said. “But there’ll be a little bit more adrenaline and intensity.”

While a lack of parity in women’s basketball relative to the men’s game magnifies the importance of Saturday’s game for rankings and for preparing for a tough ACC schedule, the Blue Devils have more on their minds than just a win. They want revenge.

“You don’t ever forget it,” Goestenkors said. “I don’t think that shot or the image of that shot will ever leave our minds completely.”

Senior attacker Matt Danowski will lead the Blue Devils as they return to the fieldfor the 2007 season.

Men’s lax schedule announced First-year head coach John Danowski released his team’s spring schedule Thursday, unveiling what will be the lacrosse team’s first full season since losing 9-8 to Johns Hopkins in the 2005 National Championship game.

Duke will get a rematch with the Blue Jays April 7 before taking on defending national champions Virginia at home the following week in what should be the toughest stretch of its season.

The Blue Devils open against Dartmouth in Koskinen Stadium Feb. 24 and then take on Denver the following day.

They open their ACC schedule March 2 versus Maryland in College Park.

Duke will also play away at North Carolina March 17 and Georgetown March 24.

They will travel to San Diego March 10 for the ‘First 4’ event against Loyola, as well.

SARA GUERRERO/THE CHRONICLE

Josh Mcßoberts' presence down low was not enough to prevent Duke from losing to the Yellow Jackets.

M. BBALL from page 13 slate . Miami suffered bad losses against low-

major squads like Binghamton, Buffalo and Cleveland State. Yet, the Hurricanes’ two ACC wins have come against ranked teams —then-No. 21 Georgia Tech Dec. 3 and at Maryland Wednesday.

Miami has been hampered by the loss of Anthony King, who has missed the last nine games with an injured wrist and will likely be out for the season. King, a senior, was expected to be one of the top big men in the league and had been averaging 7.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game before the injury.

“It’s been tough for us all year,” Miami head coach Frank Haith said. “[King] is a senior leader, and he was going to be our go-to guy in the post from an offensive standpoint and anchor our defense. And since losing Anthony King we have not been consistent on either end of the floor.”

With King out, the Hurricanes have had to redefine their identity as a team. After losing high-scoring guards Robert Hite and Guillermo Diaz to the NBA, Miami expected to display an inside-out offensive attack with King at the core. But since the big man’s injury, the Hurricanes have again had to rely heavily on their guards—the team’s top four scorers are all perimeter players, including sophomore Jack McClinton, the ACC’s fifth-leading scorer.

Duke is also attempting to find its offensive identity as the Blue Devils have not scored more than 80 points in a game since their opener and have racked up 70 points or fewer in four of their last five games.

“We have a real young team,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We’ve got eight scholarship guys that are healthy right now and four of them are freshmen. We’ve got to find away to win with that combination, and that’s what my job is supposed to be, so that’s what I’m going to do.”

FRONTCU

Miami lacks size, but the 6-foot-8,230-pound Collins is fresh off a 14-point, 12-board performance against Maryland and could pose a problem to Duke's interior defense. Mcßoberts and Thomas will have room to score against smaller defenders.

BACKOURT

With Paulus' continuing struggles, Duke must turn to Henderson and Scheyer to bring the ball up the court and distribute it. McClinton is the fifth leading scorer in the ACC and can light it up, shooting 47% from beyond the arc on the year.

Paulus will provide a boost when he enters the game and the 7foot-1 Zoubek adds good size X U that Miami cannot match.

X Clemente provides 8.1 ppg and LU QQ is second on the team in assists, but the Hurricanes have little help beyond that off the bench.

The Skinny AfterWednesday's loss to Georgia Tech, Duke dropped to 0-2 in the ACC for the first time since the 1995-1996 season. Expect the team to come out ready and fired up against the Hurricanes behind Mcßoberts and Nelson and get back on track with something the team has lacked lately—passion.

two softball teams, and hopefully, this break will give her the kind of rest she needs.”

Similar to Chiney, 5-foot-10 sophomore Paris will not play with many of the current Blue Devils, except the freshmen,.if she signs with Duke. Through nine games this season for Heritage Christian in Indiana, Paris was averaging 15.9 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.

The only one of the five visitors this weekend who will certainly be a part of Duke’s future squad is Thomas.

Thomas is a 5-foot-9 point guard from Oakton High School in Vienna, Va. and was named a pre-season AllAmerican by scout.com. She chose Duke over Virginia, Connecticut, Louisiana State and Maryland —the team that will be opposite Duke Saturday.

“She’s incredibly quick,” said Fred Priester, her high school coach, “A lot of people can be quick without the ball. She’s quick with it. And she has incredible court awareness—that’s what Coach [Goestenkors] loves.”

game and the second half against Georgetown, this group of Blue Devils has been absolutely average. At 0-2, Duke is second to last in the ACC. And there’s really no reason for it. Maybe the Blue Devils are young, but six of them were McDonald’s All-Americans.

This weekend’s game in Coral Gables against a Miami team that has already knocked off both Georgia Tech and Maryland is a huge one for Duke. Should the Blue Devils lose and fall to 0-3, it might be time to start assigning blame. And if the players are talented, but the results just aren’t there, then it might be time to start asking the guy running this show what exacdy is going on.

Of course, we don’t do that around here.

So let’s just say that if I’m not eating these words on Sunday, it’s going to be a long season.

presentations throughout the day Saturday the Washington Duke Inn. Alieva and head coach Ted Roof will address the gathering, as will other athletic administrators in charge of the football program’s financial and academic vision.

Duke President Richard Brodhead will also speak to the group.

The roster of former players scheduled to attend includes alumni from as far back as 1953 and as recent as last year.

“There were a growing number of former football players throughout the fall, as the team mounted loss after loss, who said, ‘What’s going on?’” said Mark Militello, an All-ACC wideout as a senior in 1983. “We wanted to know how we can help the program and the University and at the same time ask questions,” Since Roof took over the program on a permanent basis, Duke is 3-31, including a 2-1 record against Division I-AA opponents. Roof has brought in several solid recruiting classes, but the results have yet to show on the field.

“You’ve got recruiting classes ranked higher than Wake Forest, close to Boston College, higher than Boise State, yet it translates into nothing on the field as it relates to wins and losses,” said Militello, who is one of about 20 Duke Football alums helping to coordinate CDF. Alieva said the weekend would be a great opportunity to unite the wide base of Duke Football alumni and help inform them about the current policies governing the program, the financial status of the program and the future opportunities for growth.

know coach Roof.”

Militello said although opinions vary, many alumni would like to see Roof given the opportunity to succeed. Former football players are concerned, however, over some coaching decisions and will ask some “pointed questions,” especially as they relate to areas like special teams, Militello said.

In addition, the CDF will also look for a strong commitment to achieving success in football from the University administration.

“In every endeavor it undertakes, Duke demands excellence,” Militello said. ‘Yet as you break it down, as many Duke athletic teams that are having a great run, there’s this anomaly called the football program that has not had a winning year in 12 years and has the longest losing streak in the

country.”

In an interview last month, Brodhead re-affirmed the University’s commitment to having a strong, Division I-A football program.

“I don’t underestimate the challenges of it,” Brodhead said. “We play in a very tough, a very, very competitive league.

And there are many schools in America that establish the balance between athletics and academics at a different place than Duke does.

“We have to be out there,” Brodhead continued. “We have to show special genius in recruiting because the part of the very talented football population that will be appropriate for Duke is a pretty small part of the overall population. We’re just going to have to make the case that Duke is the place they want to go, that Duke is the place they’ll have the most valuable ex-

perience.”

Look for the fraternity or sorority where you could see yourself being friends with the most people.

Be yourself. Don’t try too hard to impress anyone or say what you think they want to hear—it is much too easy to see through.

If at the close of rush you end up in the sorority or fraternity that you did not expect, give it a few weeks before dropping out. There are many people who are initially disappointed but wouldn’t change a thing in retrospect.

It’s OK not to remember names. Just ask.

Don’t be upset if someone forgets your name.

Try to meet people when they aren’t drinking or partying to get a better idea of who they are.

Don’t let rush come between you and your friends.

You don’t have to join the same group as your friends. Sometimes different places appeal to different types of people. The key is to make an effort to stay close during and after pledging (for guys) or the end of rush (for girls).

Don’t join a fraternity or sorority because you think it will help you get a

job in the future Don’t listen to rumors Make your own decisions.

If someone reminds you of a friend from high school, it’s probably a good sign.

Don’t let your sorority or fraternity “define” you. Let it be something you do on the side—it is an extracurricular after all.

Blocking and going independent is not, contrary to popular belief and the frat _

You don’t tell them that you spent more hours in your pajamas than out of them, and that the days of your break went by too quickly to grasp.

You don’t tell them that spending time with your old best friends is as painful as it is wonderfulbecause there is always a taste of something that is 105t....

You don’t tell them any of these things because the real answer to “How was your break?” could take all day.

commentaries

Of our own making

I

have to admit, I’m slightly intimidated by my new toaster. It’s a bizarre hybrid toaster that also cooks eggs and any number of meats, with these mutant arms coming out the sides for hot plates and miniature pans. It’s got microchips and “features.” It can probably “hack” into “cyberspace” when I’m not looking. It’s luxurious; decadent, even.

It’s also largely nonfunctional. To date, the toaster hasn’t successfully toasted anything. It poaches an egg and warms a slice of ham with gusto, but when it comes to its main purpose, I think my toaster may be broken already. kindle brian It’s unfortunate, but ad astra T hardly surprising. In my experience, a certain degree of non-functionality is the natural consequence of fancying up essentially simple things. The further you move away from simplicity and utility, first into convenience and then into luxury, the less likely it is that a thing will actually work.

Attempting to repair my toaster (full name: “Backto-Basics Egg and Muffin Toaster”) made me think, oddly enough, of the game room in McClendon Tower.

During my freshman and sophomore years, I spent a lot of time there, playing talent-free games of pool and wondering why the place was always empty. Since then it’s become an almost offensively fancy space, dripping with neon and entertainment options. There’s a jukebox, plasma screens, pool tables, sliders—you name it.

But even with all the high-tech, glitzy accoutrements in* the place, mostly people use it as a study room.

The lack of fun being had in the game room used to puzzle me, especially when compared with the relative popularity of my freshman dorm’s commons room, the featured amusements of which included old-people furniture and a ping-pong table the dorm had won by collecting Snapple caps. Now that I’m older and marginally wiser, however, it makes perfect sense.

The commons room was far from luxurious, but we had contributed in some way to its existence as the community space. We owned that room, especially since we’d earned that ping-pong table, and so we used it to death.

Nobody owns the McClendon game room, except of course the administrators who designed it in the first place. Nobody rallied a dorm to win one of those pool tables, and I seriously doubt many people feel the same sneaking attachment to the dandified sofas of the game room as I did to the raggedy couches in the dorm commons. Consequently, nobody really hangs out in the game room, just like nobody hangs out on the BC Plaza. And, when the University finishes turning Central Campus into its own version of Disneyland, no one will hang out there either.

All of these places are nice ideas. They look good, they’re luxurious; decadent, even. But they don’t work.

Whatever the administration hoped they would do—foster student interaction, build a sense of identity, bring the “social scene” back to campus, etc.—hasn’t happened (and won't, in the case of Central), largely because even the most desperate person wants some say in the community he or she inhabits. Engineered luxury handed down from on high is nobody’s idea of a good time.

But hey, that’s the style nowadays. Heaven help us if we don’t keep up with our peer institutions up north, right?

What’s the point of all this, you ask? I try to use my first column of the semester as an introduction. If you’re going to read (or not read) me for the next few weeks, you might as well know where my sympathies lie.

I tend to side with the unofficial, the independent, the entrepreneurial; I tend to write about the disappointments of luxury and convenience and what their alternatives might be. If that sounds like your kind of thing, then tune in next week.

Also, if anyone happens to be handy with toaster repair, then let me know. I’m dying for an egg and muffin sandwich. ,

letterstotheeditor Interpretation of letter misses mark In a letter published in The Chronicle Jan. 10 (“Professors call for investigation, welcoming ofall students”), I joined 18 of my colleagues to say that (1) we regret an impression has been formed in some circles that Duke faculty are prejudiced against some of our students, that (2) we support our president in his call for an investigation of a botched legal process and (3) that we welcome all students to our classes. That our simple three points would be interpreted as subtly insinuating more is a surprise to most of us.

In particular, one of our colleagues from another department (quoted in the Jan. 11 article “Reinstatement sparks fiery faculty response”)suggests that our letter feeds “a wheel of hatred that’s bound up with the blogs” and does not support “a healthy and constructive dialogue.” He went on to contrast this to the spring 2006 advertisement taken out by several departments and endorsed by 88 faculty members, many of whom are good friends of those of us who signed the Jan. 10 letter. The distinction was made that the spring ad raises “larger questions,” while our letter did not.

We can disagree about whether the spring ad and its insinuation that Duke is a place of rampant and widespread racism and sexism was “healthy and constructive,” particularly in the charged atmosphere in

come to a satisfactory pa-indron^s conclusion on whether to possess the gift of flight or invisibility.

The segment eventually ends in the wishy-washy, feelgood, introspective way a segment on NPR is supposed to end. Hodgman remains undecided as to which power he would like more.

But that is not why I am here. I am here to tell you that there actually is a correct answer in this debate. Invisibility is the way to go. Any self-respecting, honest, reasonable person must choose invisibility.

Unless, of course, you are a fool. Then you can choose flight.

Before I persuade you to choose invisibility, let me lay down the parameters. No matter what you choose, you are the only person in the world with this power.

Invisibility is the ability to become transparent at will, including your clothes. However, anything you pick up remains visible and any noise you make is still audible.

Choosing flight allows you to soar at any altitude within Earth’s atmosphere at speeds up to 1,000 miles per hour.

Now that we have got that cleared up, let me break this down for you more scientifically by addressing some of the important categories in life.

The Opposite Sex: I start here because this is the only area that I will concede to flight. Let me make this perfecdy clear: if you don't think people will sleep with someone simply because you can fly, you’re damn crazy. Just look at Carson Daly. The only superpower he possesses is the ability to be incredibly dull (hey-o!).

Now, some of you who have watched a lot of roman,

invisibility?

or guilty? Academics or athledcs? George’s or Shooters? These are all hotly debated topics on campus, but as I listen to people discuss these questions, only one thought runs through my mind: Blah.

Blah. Blah.

There is only one important question in life: flight or invisibility? I first heard this question posed by John Hodgman—the PC in the Mac commercials—on NPR’s This American Life In the piece, Hodgman records different

people

which it was published. But our letter was not an attempt to raise “larger issues” or to engage our friends who used the events in the spring to do so from their perspective. All it did was make three very simple points.

While I do not believe that racism and sexism define our community, I join all those who condemn the pockets of racism and sexism that exist at Duke as they do in other parts of our society. I also join Dean George McLendon’s and President Richard Brodhead’s call for a civil atmosphere in which disagreements among friends are possible, at least within the faculty of our Duke community.

tic comedies (me), may think “Hey, by choosing invisibility, you could just spy on the girls you like, find out the things they enjoy and then slowly woo her through bringing up these activities in everyday conversation.”

You would be wrong because that supposes that women are rational beings, which we all know is completely untrue. There you go, flight, you win this round. However, those of you who know me understand why this is not a problem. My game is so air tight, I pull more dimes than a tollbooth.

Friends: You might think that flight is the life of the party while invisibility is the creepy guy who sits in the corner. And to an extent, this may be true. But think about what life would be like if you actually chose flight. You would, undoubtedly, be a really big deal. Everyone would know who you were, but this isn't necessarily a good thing. It is sort oflike James Bond. They say “men want to be him,” but they don't say “men want to be friends with him.” In other words, James Bond is simply too cool to have any friends.

I believe this problem would extend to flight. Think about the friends you have. Are any of them significantly cooler than you are? Of course not. We don't want to be friends with people who are a lot cooler than we are. We hate people who are a lot cooler than we are. Because your friends don’t necessarily have to know that you are capable of becoming invisible, invisibility wins this round by default.

Basketball Tickets: Choosing flight would mean that you could probably be hooked up with nice seats after shooting an American Express commercial with Coach K (“my life isn’t all about literal flight, it's also about the flight we call life”).

Still, invisibility has got to win this argument. Imagine showing up as soon as they begin to let students in, turning invisible, and then smugly walking past the “super-psyched” freshman that has been waiting in line since 5:00 a.m. Priceless. Plus, you could actually play in the game if you wanted to! Stealing passes, blocking shots, tripping opponents. The possibilities are endless. Invisibility easily takes this one.

So there you have it. By a score of 2-1, invisibility wins. I just changed your life, but there is no need to thank me.
