Meg Bourdillon THE CHRONICLE

At the men’s lacrosse season opener Saturday, there will probably be thousands of fans cheering—but not many chugging beers.

Several students said they plan to grill and participate in informal tailgating in the parking lot near Koskinen Stadium prior to the game, and the pep band will start playing about an hour before face-off.

“It’s going to be just like a basketball game,” said senior Daron Gunn, co-treasurer of the pep band, about the band’s performance before and during the game. “It’s just great to support fellow Duke students in everything that they do.”

Enthusiasm for die game has sprung from both the student body and the local community.

By Thursday evening, a Facebook event marking the game had more than 1,000 confirmed attendees, about half of whom were Duke students.

Scot Meyer, creator of the Facebook event related to the season opener, is a junior at East Chapel Hill High School.

“A lot of people are on Facebook, so I figured I would get the best audience,” he said.

He predicted a “wide variety of people” would attend.

Administrators are preparing public next week the report of the Campus Culture Initiative, which officially concluded this week, University officials confirmed Thursday.

According to a copy of the CCI report obtained by The Chronicle, the committee has proposed a number of recommendations, varying in scale, to improve the undergraduate experience in six major areas: curriculum and experiential learning; faculty-student interaction; residential life, social life and dining; alcohol; athletics; and admissions.

U.S. soldier sentenced to 100 years by

Rose French

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A U.S. soldier FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. was sentenced to 100 years in prison Thursday for the gangrape and murder of an Iraqi girl and the killing of her family last year.

Sgt. Paul Cortez, 24, also was given a dishonorable discharge. He will be eligible for parole in 10 years under the terms of his plea agreement.

Cortez pleaded guilty to four counts of felony murder, rape and conspiracy to rape in a case considered among the worst atrocities by U.S. military personnel in Iraq.

In his plea agreement, he said he conspired with three other soldiers from the

Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division to rape 14-year-old Abeer Qassim alJanabi. The girl, her parents and a younger sister were all killed.

Earlier Thursday, tears rolled down Cortez’s face as he apologized for the rape and murders. He said he could not explain why he took part.

“I still don’t have an answer,” Cortez said.

“I don’t know why. I wish I hadn’t. The lives of four innocent people were taken. I want to apologize for all of the pain and suffering I have caused the al-Janabi family.”

The military judge hearing the case, Col. Stephen Henley, issued a sentence of life in prison without parole, the maximum

for the charges. Under military law, the defendant is given the lesser sentence unless he violates terms of the plea agreement, which requires Cortez to testify against others charged in the case.

Psychologist Charles Figley testified that Cortez and the other soldiers likely suffered stress brought on by fatigue and trauma.

“It eats you up,” Figley said. “It’s a horrible thing. This is not unique. We’ve seen this in other wars.”

Five soldiers who served with Cortez in Iraq testified that his actions were out of character and described the hardships of war they experienced, including sleep deprivation and the lack of running water.

Passport laws eased for children by

Ron

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT U.S. and Canadian children will be exempt from new rules that will require travelers to show passports when entering the United States at land or sea borders, a move the George W. Bush administration said Thursday is aimed at helping families and school groups.

The new passport requirements will take effect as soon as January 2008. In a change from earlier plans, U.S. and Canadian citizens ages 15 or younger with parental consent will be allowed to cross the borders at land and sea entry points

with certified copies of their birth certificates rather than passports.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff discussed die relaxation in rules at a speech Thursday to the Detroit Economic Club before touring die Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, a link with Windsor, Ontario under the Detroit River.

“This is going to make it a lot easier for kids to cross the border without having to get passports and passcards,” Chertoff said.

“By the way, it’s specifically designed to make it cheaper for families.”

U.S. and Canadian citizens ages 16 through 18 traveling with school, religious,

cultural or athletic groups and under adult supervision will also be allowed to travel with only their birth certificates.

The rule is designed, for'example, to allow groups to go back and forth without disrupting their schedule, provided they are chaperoned, Chertoff said.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y, a longtime critic of the overall passport requirements because of the potential impact on the economy of border states, said he was pleased by the exemption for those under age 15.

“That’s a great first step and now we’re going to have to make sure they do it for everyone over 15 as well,” Schumer said.

Duke Law preps to improve public face Eugene Wang THE CHRONICLE

After improving classrooms and expanding office space in 2005, the School of Law will begin another set of renovations this May. This phase is expected to last about 15 months and will focus on improving the law building’s public space. The improvements include a new 4,200-sq. ft. community area, a renovated library and a new

“By creating [Star Commons] and by creating the library space, we give all of us in our community, our students as well as our faculty, a place to really learn together,” said Thomas Metzloff, head of the Building Committee and professor oflaw.

“I think its going to have a tremendous im-

pact for the law school.”

Star Commons—modeled after the von der Heyden Pavilion and almost twice as large—will be used as a place for students to study and relax and will feature a lounge area and cafe, Metzloff said.

“If you liked von der Heyden, you’ll love what we’re doing,” he said.

Metzloffadded that the Star Commons, which will hold up to 350 people, will also be used to host conventions, large dinners and lectures.

“When we put this Star Commons on the comer [of Towerview Road and Science Drive], this very glassy, very elegant piece, I think it’s going to be a tremendous plus for the University,” Metzloff said. “I do think we will have an important positive impact for the people’s sense of the University and its campus.”

Though the Commons will be a completely new facility, the library’s renovation will focus on maximizing current space.

Expected improvements include increasing natural lighting, consolidating library services and replacing old heating and airconditioning systems.

“Students spend an enormous amount of time in the law school and to the extent that you can provide a wonderful environment for them to study in and attend classes, it provides a competitive edge for Duke,” said Sarah West, associate dean for alumni and development.

TAYLOR JACOBSON/THE CHRONICLE

The law school announced plans to create a common space similar to von der Heyden Pavilion.

Metzloff said the renovations will improve the physical appeal of the law building and help entice prospective students.

“The more pleasing the buildings are and the better they function, the more likely we are to attract some really great students to the law school,” said Marjorie Mulhall, a law student and member of the Building Committee.

Metzloffsaid several measures are being taken to minimize the noise effects of construction, including erecting a sound barrier and conducting the loudest aspects of the construction over the summer.

“If everyone can just remember that

this is all in the name of making our school a better one, then hopefully there won’t be too many problems with [noise],” Mulhall said.

The renovations are funded by the Duke Endowment and alumni donations, West said.

Star Commons is named after Stanley Star, Law ’6l, who donated $3 million to the project.

“Many [alumni] really felt that the building was inadequate and not what a great law school like Duke law school needed, so we’ve had just terrific support throughout these projects,” Metzloff said.

The council also elected Paula McClain, professor of political science and director of the Ralph Bundle Institute, to a two-year term as die chair of the Academic Peter Lange Council succeeding Paul Haagen, professor of law.

Provost Peter Lange spoke to the council regarding DukeEngage, a program launched early last week to facilitate intensive service projects. Lange outlined the benefits Duke Engage will provide as well as potential issues that may arise with its

implementation.

“Now that we’ve passed the strategic plan, it’s time for us to think of a major ini-

tiative that can really put those ideas into effect,” Lange said.

Duke Center for Civic Engagement an “umbrella organization” designed to coordinate civic engagement programs with DukeEngage—will be created, Lange said. He added that Eric Mlyn, the outgoing director of the Robertson Scholars Program, has been appointed its director.

The Battle of New London: Understanding the Kelo Case Monday, February 26, 2007 12:15 -1:15 PM Room 3041 Duke Law School In 1999, the city of New London, Connecticut started developing plans for its run-down Fort Trumbull neighborhood adjacent to its glistening new Pfizer research facility. While many were excited by the plans for a mixed-use development that would hopefully resurrect this economically disadvantaged city, others were upset by the plans which called for forcibly removing those residents who lived there. One home owner in particular Susette Kelo refused to move and led the fight to save her neighborhood. Her struggles eventually led to the Supreme Court. The resulting decision in her case is perhaps the most controversial decision in the last few years and has resulted in a wave of state legislation to limit its result.

Members of the Black Student Alliance elected junior Simone Randolph president for the 2007-2008 academic year late

Wednesday night.

Randolph, who served as the body’s executive vice president this year, is a political science and Spanish major from Cleveland, Ohio. She said her goals for the year include work on raising the grades of black students, bringing more black faculty to the University and building on the Black Women’s Initiative. She will also look outward, she said.

“I’m really, really interested in working more closely with [North Carolina] Central [University],” Randolph said. “A lot ofwork has been started on the creation of a Robertson-like program and I’m really interested in getting that piloted off the ground.”

Serving as Randolph’s second-in-command will be sophomore Vanecie Delva, who was selected to be executive vice president, also without opposition. She is a sophomore and served as BSA secretary this year.

Rounding out the officer positions, several others were elected without contest.

JuniorAndrew George will serve as treasurer; sophomore Ashley Banks and freshman Awa Nur will be public affairs and academic affairs chairs, respectively; and Ade Sawyer, a freshman, will serve as historian.

In other races, junior Stephanie McCalmon and freshman Cadene Russell edged out challengers to become social chair and outreach chair, respectively.

Delva said the organization had made strides in pursuit of its goal, “Strengthening the tradition of excellence,” and she said she hopes the group will build on that progress during her term.

“I think this is going to be a great, great year, and there’s two black women heading the organization,” Delva said. “How cool is that?”

Campus Council members got a sneak peek at a new version of the DukePass portal Thursday, one week before the website’s launch.

Deborah Johnson, assistant vice provost and director of student administrative services, presented the new portal at a general body meeting.

The changes will add many new features to the website—which provides links to web pages commonly visited by students—and will give users more administrative control over the layout of the page, Johnson said.

“It’s kind of an old look right now,” she said. “The new site will be more spiffy, giving it a new look and feel.”

Once students log in to the portal with their Duke NetlDs, they will be able to access other websites such as Blackboard and ACES without having to login again, Johnson added.

She noted that the website will provide direct links to courses’ Blackboard pages, and recent announcements on Blackboard will also show up on DukePass.

With the new portal, students will still be able to see their food points and FLEX account balances but will now also be able to add money to their FLEX accounts directly online, Johnson said.

“This is something I’ve wanted for two years,” she said, adding thatshe has heard many freshmen complain about having to go to West Campus to add money to their FLEX accounts.

Students will not, however, be able to add food points from their Bursar accounts, Johnson said.

“There are more conditions with food points, and it’s a lot more complicated,” she said. “But we’ll be working with the DukeCard office.”

Johnson added that with the upgrade, students will also be able to import e-mail accounts—such as America Online and Gmail—into DukePass.

BUSH from page 1 pendence on oil, what you really have to do is change gasoline usage in the United States,” Bush said at a panel discussion promoting the energy goals he announced in last month’s State of the Union Address.

In January, Bush proposed the “20-in-10” goal, setting a target for the United States to reduce gasoline consumption by 20 percent over the next 10 years. He also mandated a fuel standard to use 35-million gallons ofethanol or other alternative fuel over the same time period.

Although the United States consumes about 7 billion gallons of ethanol derived from com every year, other biomass resources, including wood chips and stalk grass, are viable materials to convert into ethanol, he said.

“I know it sounds like a pipe dream to some —you know there goes the optimistic president talking again,” Bush said.

“But the Ph.D.s are providing the brainpower necessary to help plants like this develop technologies that will enable us to convert wood chips into fuels that are running automobiles.”

Because the rising price of com is threatening farmers’ commerce, producers should turn to other resources to make ethanol, he added.

“The problem is we have a lot of hog growers around the United States, and a lot of them here in North Carolina, who are beginning to feel the pinch as a result of high corn prices,” Bush said. “In other words, the demand for com, because of agricultural use, and now energy use, is causing corn prices to go up.”

“Someday you’re going to be able to get in your car, particularly if you’re a big-city person, and drive 40 miles on a battery,” he said. “And by the way, the car doesn’t have to look like a golf cart. It could be a pickup truck.”

Several of the other panelists, who work in biotechnology fields, said that the president’s goals were realistic.

“If you look at what’s happening now, what’s been happening with com ethanol over the last five years and the developments that are coming in terms of implementation of cellulosic, it’s really amazing,” said Dr. Kevin Wenger, Novozymes’ research and development manager.

“Things are finally starting to happen.”

Bush spoke to an audience of about 200 special guests and Novozymes employees in his first visit to the Tar Heel state in the new year.

Marc Hargrove, a flow coordinator at Novozymes who attended the discussion, said having the Bush administration’s backing would make the vision of generating alternative energy sources a reality.

“When you have the support of the president, thatmakes it even more real,” he said.

CCI from page 1 the report states.

The CCI Steering Committee was composed of about two dozen members, including faculty, administrators, students and alumni.

Last spring, in the wake of allegations involving the men’s lacrosse team, Brodhead proposed five multilateral committees, including the CCl—which was charged with the task of assessing campus culture and releasing recommendations for how it can be improved.

Thompson and Larry Moneta, CCI vice chair and vice president for student affairs, said the primary purpose of the document is to promote campus discussion on the issues—not necessarily to implement its ideas.

“All along our committee was well cognizant of the fact that we were not an implementation group,” Thompson said. “We were a group that was called on to think deeply and carefully about campus culture and come up with some understanding about what’s working well and where there are opportunities for improvement.”

Thompson said he expects the report to be released officially next week, pending review by Brodhead.

Brodhead could not be reached for comment Thursday.

“The committee recognizes that it has outlined an ambitious array of recommendations that will need to be further discussed and implemented through the University’s regular administrative processes,” the report stated. “Some recommendations, such as how to promote civic engagement, support initiatives that are already under consideration, while others, such as changing the dining model, have

significant budgetary implications.”

NENA SANDERSON/THE CHRONICLE

One of the CCI committee'srecommendations is to get rid of housing for selective groups like Mirecourt.

Among several academic suggestions, the report recommends that the Cross Cultural Inquiry curricular requirement be modified to include one required course that has a primary focus on racial, ethnic, class, religious or sexual/gender differences in the United States.

The committee also suggests discontinu-

ing the practice of assigning housing to selective living groups and social/affinity/interest groups, along with the creation of additional social spaces for students on West Campus.

In addition, the report asks for a change in the dining services model in order to establish a greater focus on community building.

The committee proposes a number of rec-

njHpica

ommendations relating to alcohol policy, which include reducing the centrality ofalcohol in social life and establishing more attractive outlets for legal alcohol consumption.

In athletics, the report calls for a reduction in the time student-athletes spend on practice and travel in order to better integrate them into campus life.

A number of recommendations were also made with regard to admissions, such as raising the “low end of the admissions standards” to ensure that all students are prepared and committed to engage actively in the intellectual life ofcampus.

Although he said the overall opinions of the committee were presented in the report, junior Elliott Wolf, president of Duke Student Governmentand a member of the CGI committee, said he did not personally endorse all of the report’s findings.

“I think the CGI has come to a premature conclusion on the matter,” he said, referring to some of the report’s recommendations. “I also think that anything that is implemented in an academic setting has to be backed with legitimate arguments and data and different alternatives, and that just hasn’t been done.”

Wolf added, however, that the report contained a number of recommendations that, if implemented, could greatly benefit the Duke community.

“I do think there’s a lot of positive stuff in the report,” he said, citing recommendations for increased social space on West Campus and additional dining options to promote community.

This weekend, Thompson and Moneta will present the report to the Board of Trustees to get general feedback, Thompson said, adding that he was not expecting any single reaction from the trustees.

“I’m not anticipating one monolithic response,” he said. “I think there will be a diversity of opinions and that’s good.”

Lange added, however, that there are “ramp-up” issues still on the table—such as staff buildup, student accountability and financial support.

“We are going to walk before we run with this program,” Lange said. “We’re not anticipating reaching our target level, which is around 25 percent of our student body, until about 2012.”

Council members expressed their support for Duand the University’s commitment to “knowlEngage ke edge in the service of society.”

“I think this is just a big idea and can really be transformative,” said Lee Baker, chair of the Arts and Sciences Council and professor of cultural anthropology. “I’m really enthusiastic about it.”

Following Lange’s speech Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services, spoke

about the reaccreditation of the University by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

An increased emphasis on “student learning outcomes” at the federal and state levels will affect how the University formulates its Quality Enhancement Plan, which details issues in student learning, Ruderman said.

Possible QEP topics include urban planning, the meaning of a “liberal education” and campus community, she said. Council members said the QEP could also focus on service learning and incorporate Du-

ke Engage.

Scholarly Communication Officer Kevin Smith delivered a presentation on the issues regarding intellectual property in an era of increasing digitization and collaborative student work.

“The problem is that there are new forms of scholarship that don’t fit the traditional norms and definitions,” Smith said.

He added that legal complications involving student ownership of work, professor ownership of lecture content and the use of e-reserves are increasingly common, and that the University needs to address these issues.

“I think Student U. is a remarkable accomplishment for these students,” said Eric Mlyn, director of the Robertson Scholars Program and a member of the advisory board.

Mlyn, who is also the founding director of DukeEngage, added that DukeEngage is currendy exploring the possibility of partnering with Student U. Ulkii-Steiner, another member of the advisory board, said he has enjoyed working on the project.

“It’s just been thrilling,” he said.

Ulkii-Steiner added that Student U. “is in harmony with the mission and strategic plan” of DA, which includes increasing diversity and serving the community.

Seventy percent of the students applying to the program have parents who did not attend college, UlkiiSteiner said, adding that Student U. aims to encourage these students to consider college.

The program will serve as away to reconnect to Durham and help both the students and teachers grow, said Gabe Kussin, a sophomore at Brown University and a DA alumnus who is the only teacher who does not attend a local college.

“To help these kids is going to be amazing,” he said.

The program is particularly relevant in light of the “socioeconomic gaps” in Durham highlighted by the national media’s coverage of the lacrosse case, said DA senior Ali Dame-Boyle, president of the school’s Student U. club.

“I thought Student U. was at a great point to get rid of some of these gaps and actually make a difference,” she said.

At a recent program event, Ulku-Steiner echoed

Dame-Boyle’s hope.

Blue Devils race out early, hold on for win Duke players do not crack under pressure by

Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE

CLEMSON, S.C. In the end, there was no question about the winner this time around.

After a nearly 11-minute first-half stretch without a field goal, Clemson rallied in the second period in an attempt to avenge its controversial loss to Duke earlier this season.

But despite an orange blur of screaming fans holding up plastic clocks as reminders of the timing error that decided the teams’ Jan. 25 matchup, the No. 18 Blue Devils (21-7, 8-6 in the ACC) held off the Tigers (19-8, 5-8) in the final minutes to defeat Clemson 71-66 Thursday night at Litdejohn Coliseum.

“It’s a game you lose because you’ve given up and the momentum is theirs,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “To seize it back on the road was very difficult....

Our kids made big plays. The last four minutes or so of the game, you don’t win a game like that unless our kids step up, and we had a number of them step up.”

With 1:59 to play, Clemson stole the ball off a Duke inbounds pass and Cliff Hammonds hit a three from the right side of the court to bring the Tigers within five at 62-57.

On the next play, however, sophomore Josh Mcßoberts drove down the lane for a layup to extend the Blue Devils’ lead to 64-57.

The Tigers continued to scramble in the final minute and a half by scoring and then fouling the Blue Devils to try to quickly regain possession. But solid shooting down the stretch—Duke went 7-for-9 from the charity stripe in the final 1:03—sealed the win for the Blue Devils. Freshman Jon Scheyer, who scored a team-high 18 points on the night, hit the last four of Duke’s free throws.

“It was a great thing for us to hold on to it,” sophomore Greg Paulus said. “Being up 20 and then having them come back, it shows signs of us being a mature basketball team, especially when they had it down to five or six points.”

Duke earned its lead in the first half during the final 11 minutes of the period. Over the course of the run, the Blue Devils scored

THE CHRONICLE

CLEMSON, S.C. In the ACC, it is all but impossible to waltz into an opposing gym and blow the home team out. It is true every year, and it is especially true this year.

When Duke built a 24-point lead with 14 seconds to play in the first half, it was just a matter of time be1 fore Clemson made it a 03ITI© game. The building was dead, the students were sitting down and the Tigers had tossed up enough bricks to build a house. But there was just no way that Clemson—a bubble team fighting for its NCAA Tournament life—was going to lose by 20 in front of 10,000 of its fans.

So it should have been no big surprise when the Tigers emerged from the tunnel to start the second half and prompdy went on a 2T5 run spanning the first 9:46 of the frame. Litdejohn Coliseum was rocking and a lot ofvisiting teams might have folded.

But the Blue Devils did not collapse. Even as pandemonium reigned in the stands, the Duke players’ body language did not change. Even as the Tigers got to the basket for layup after layup—they would finish with 17 layups in the second halfalone—the Blue Devils did not hang their heads.

Instead, they continued clapping their hands and patting each other on the back.

They continued cheering from the bench and continued doing the little things that keep a team mentally and psychologically in the game. At no point did Duke look like the Tigers’ run had caught it by surprise.

“We can’t let them see that they’re getting to us,” point guard Greg Paulus said.

“Whether we had it at 20 or at six, we kept control as far as facial expressions, body language. And we believed that no matter what kind of run they were going to make, we were going to be okay in the end.”

That type ofbelief is no small feat for a team that has three freshmen among its ———

This is the first recorded time students have lived in tents for a women’s game outside of the normal K-ville season. The top-ranked Blue Devils, like their coach, understand the importance of the moment—and before the game tips off, they plan to walk through the tenting village.

“1 think it’s awesome,” sophomore guard Abby Waner said. “It shows how much the women’s game is growing. People are starting to appreciate what we do and the amount of work we put into it.”

The population of the tent city has good motives for braving the weather this week. Duke (28-0, 13-0 in the ACC) is off to its best start in history and features the frontrunner for National Player of the Year

in Lindsey Harding. There is always legitihype for the annual home game against North Carolina (26-2, 10-2), and it only helps the environment that Harding and center Alison Bales are playing their last game in Cameron.

“I’m really proud of both of them,” Goestenkors said. “They’ve made so many great memories here for the fans and for our team. It’s been great to watch them grow as players.”

The coaches and players will be emotional Sunday, but they admittedly cannot afford to be distracted with the Tar Heels in the visitors’ locker room. Even though UNC has slipped to fourth in the polls, it is still very capable of pulling off the upset.

Duke wins, 76-73 Compiled by Gate Starosta

Ivory Latta propelled the Blue Devils to victory, solidifying their status as the best team in the land.

Sunday’s game will have a decidedly different feel than the first game. Harding and Waner have said frequendy this year that they thrive in hostile atmospheres such as the one they experienced in Carmichael Auditorium Feb. 8. Still, the Blue Devils prefer the friendly confines of their home gym.

‘You can tell there has been a lot of excitement generated for this game, and we thrive on that,” Waner said. “There is nothing like playing in a sellout at Cameron. I feel like there’s no other athletic event that —

can compare.”

This season, Duke has exemplified team play. But in the most important ACC games, Harding has stepped up to the point that she is now a virtual lock forACC

Player of the Year. In the first game against the Tar Heels, she scored 16 points. More importantly, though, she effectively shut down Latta, holding the guard to nine points on 3-for-20 shooting.

The key to Duke’s win last time around, however, was Bales’ obstructive presence in the post. She had 14 rebounds and seven blocks, and she altered many more shots.

Harding said she was able to play tight defense on Latta because she trusted Bales to stop further penetration.

Ultimately, the outcome of Sunday’s game will likely be decided by the play of the two seniors. The seniors desperately want the National Championship that eluded them last year, but the two players would certainly embrace one last Duke tradition they have not experienced since 2004: a bonfire on Main West quad-

Rumor around campus has it that attendance at Saturday's lacrosse game could eclipse even that of last year's opener, 425. With this in mind, The Chronicle has decided to give those Johnny-come-latelys a leg up with a briefrules overview of a sport that includes aspects of hockey, soccer and basketball.

THE CHRONICLE

At the end of day two of the 2007 ACC Championships, Duke claimed ninth-place with 62 points at North Carolina’s Koury Natatorium Thursday.

“We only had one guy make it back in the individual events today,” head coach Dan Colella said. “Out of the three days of individual swims, this is probably our weakest day, but the fact that we had a lot of lifetime bests today is a good indicator of the days to come.”

In the 500-yard free, freshman Tim McKeever touched in 24th with a time of 4:37.78. McKeever was the only Blue Devil to make the individual finals.

“I was happy,” McKeever said. “It was a season-best time, so I can’t complain.”

In the 200 free relay, senior Jacob McCafferty, sophomore Andy Ward and freshman David Carlson finished 10th, posting Duke’s only 14 points of the night. On the diving end, freshman Eric Winnard finished 11th on the 1-meter dive.

Thursday was also a night for records, as Carlson, Ward, McCafferty and freshman Murillo Adrados notched personalbest times.

“The events that look really good in terms of us getting back tomorrow are the 100-meter events and the 400 IM relay,” Colella said. “We could have some pretty good showings there.”

playing a game, there’s really no way to judge how good or bad we could be.”

The Blue Devils have lost of several of their biggest stars, most notably former captains Matt Zash, Dan Flannery and Bret Thompson, all of whom saw their eligibility disappear when the 2006 season was cancelled. The departure of midfielders Zash, Flannery and Kyle Dowd leaves senior Peter Lamade as the only Blue Devil with significant time at the position.

Danowski said he does not expect any one player in particular to fill the void left at midfield, but a committee of players will take to the task ofreplacing Zash, a four year starter and Duke’s 2004 and 2005 Most Valuable Player.

“I’m very high on our midfield group, and I think they’re very athletic,” Danowski said. “But great players and big games, those are things that are tough to replace.”

As the Blue Devils look to adapt to this year’s personnel, Carroll and co-captain Matt Danowski expect Duke’s offense to become more of a free-flowing transition game rather than one that relies on set plays. Duke should not have too much trouble adjusting, as Danowski and junior Zack Greer—both preseason first-team AIJAmericans—anchor an attack that will be among the nation’s best.

Even so, with the media hype surrounding the team’s return to the field for the first time in 10 months, no one can tell how the Blue Devils will deal with the emotions and the distractions when Duke takes the field Saturday against Dartmouth at 2 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium. The Blue Devils also face up-and-coming No. 12 Denver Sunday at 3 p.m.

“I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like,” Carroll said. “It’s just pure excitement.” out ever

M.LAX from page 1 significance Once President Richard Brodhead reinstated the program last June, the Blue Devils turned their attention to the 2007 season. For some, winning a title became about more than lacrosse. It became, at first, the opportunity to make a statement.

“We have one goal next year, one goal only, and that’s to win a national championship,” senior Tony McDevitt said in July.

“If there’s one thing that could maybe bring us back as far as people respecting us—bringing Duke’s name, Duke lacrosse back to where it was, stepping in that direction—it would be to win next year and to get us in the public eye and to show how much we’ve worked.”

Head coach John Danowski has been wary of that mentality, and he has worked throughout the fall and the preseason to keep his players’ minds focused on the immediate tasks at hand: fighting for faceoffs, winning quarters and above all, competing to win each game.

“As a coach, that’s the fear—the fear is that that’s the only goal,” Danowski said of focusing on the title. ‘You can’t put the cart before the horse, and the fear is that that could happen.... Who knows what would have happened over the course of the whole year had [the 2006 season] been allowed to play out. But this is a different team, different circumstances.”

On the eve of a season that promises to be anything but routine, nobody knows quite what to expect from the Blue Devils, who have not played an official game since an 11-7 loss to Cornell last March 21.

“It would be one thing if it was just one regular season to another,” senior Casey Carroll said. “But with a whole new system and with everything going on, with-

THE CHRONICLE

161FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2007

ANALYSIS from page 11 provide top seven players and relies on two sophomores a good chunk of its leadership. And it is also no minor achievement for a squad that recently blew big, first-half leads in losses to Virginia and North Carolina.

And while it is possible to overstate the effect emotion has on a game, Duke’s players kept their composure and turned the emotion into big plays. They responded to Clemson’s run with an 11-3 spurt of their own to wrest back control of the game.

Although Paulus spent the entire second half struggling with turnovers—he wound up with nine for the game and six in the second period —he still managed to knock down a big three-pointer with 6:07 to play, and also hit his only two free throw tries down the stretch.

And while Jon Scheyer could not get open enough to attempt a shot for the first 15 minutes after halftime, he hit two three-pointers late in the game, punctuating the second one—which gave Duke a 10-point cushion—with a fist pump. to

Of course, the Blue Devils had to maintain their composure while Clemson came back because they spent the first 10 minutes of the second half being outplayed. On defense, Duke allowed the Tigers to make seven layups during their 21-5 run, and Clemson missed two more.

“We didn’t defend the drive very well in the second half,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said, in the understatement of the evening.

So there was cause for concern —had the Blue Devils played as poorly on defense for all 40 minutes as they did during the first part of the second half, they would have been blown out of the gym. But, at least for tonight, they were able to turn it around, thanks in large part to their refusal to collapse under pressure.

“One thing that our team has is great spirit to win,” DeMarcus Nelson said. “All of us believe we can win every game, and you saw that today. Our lead was cut, we got to the point where, on the road with [lo,ooo] people screaming at you, most teams might’ve lost this game. But it shows the will of our team. We made the plays to get out of here with a *W.’”

M.BBALL from page 11 30 points while the Tigers tallied just eight—five of which came from the free throw line. Clemson found its spark in the final seconds of the first half, however, when Hammonds sank a three-pointer with 1.1 seconds on the clock.

“I don’t think that we could have played much better than we did for about 15 minutes of the first half,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought that the last 15 seconds of the half were an indication that they were going to make a run at us in the second half.”

Posting seven steals and four blocks in the period, the Tigers did hit their rhythm after the break. Clemson forced the Blue Devils into 11 turnovers, bringing the crowd to its feet as it chipped away at Duke’s lead.

“Sometimes with a young team, you get a lead, you lose an edge,” Krzyzewski said. “It just happens that way, no matter what you do. We lost an edge.... You try to motivate them and setde them down.”

Krzyzewski said his team was hesitant during the first eight minutes of the second half, despite its substantial lead. The Tigers’ stingy defense and full-court press caused Duke’s confidence to falter and allowed Clemson to take a stab at a comeback.

While the Blue Devils struggled in driving to the basket, Clemson’s shooting improved after the break, up to 60.6 percent from 27.3 percent in the first half. By the middle of the second half, however, the Blue Devils adjusted to match the Tigers’ intensity and deliver the win.

Duke will play St. John’s Sunday in New York City before returning to its ACC schedule next week.

Ultimately, whether you support the team or not is irrelevant, this game is a chance for our community to come together, and that unity should not be marred by hard partying, belligerence, grandstanding or

politicizing.

Keep the focus on the game, on being fans of an athletic team. Let’s avoid the po-

larizing rhetoric and anger of the legal case. We should also avoid the public drunkenness and flamboyant costumes of a traditional tailgate.

Moving forward at Duke The

time has come to move forward. The primary issue is how we live as a community at Duke—how we behave toward each other, the values we espouse, the rules we pledge to uphold in our interactions. Now is the time to turn what has been a dme of crisis into an opportunity for constructive change—to help make Duke a model of mutual respect and caring Whatever hapguest column at the pened lacrosse party last spring, three facts remain undisputed: racial epithets were used; a Duke student group hired two female strippers for the entertainment of young men; and underage drinking was encouraged. In the ensuing months, we have heard our students grapple with these and related issues that reflect patterns of behavior found, not only on our campus, but—according to colleagues elsewhere—at our peer institutions as well.

The comments of one Duke student illustrate the larger problem. “I went to a fraternity party on campus last fall,” a first-year woman disclosed, “and was shocked to see a stripper there, and hear insulting remarks made about her.” After listening to numerous such comments, it is clear that the hiring of such dancers for organized parties is no anomaly at Duke.

“We are all guilty,” another woman student declared, “because we have never called to account those people who have engaged in date rape or sexual assault.” Stories of racism (often indirect) are frequent, as are those of women being treated as sexual objects, or of gay students being denigrated.

These stories from our students expose a reality many of us had previously ignored. It is time to create a different kind of campus culture.

How do we do that? First by making diversity a substantive and pervasive reality in our daily lives.

Our curriculum needs to engage the reality of difference in American society and culture, as well as in civilizations around the world. Our service-learning courses should make experience with those different from ourselves a time of growth and enhanced understanding, not just additions to student resumes.

The recent uates and Duke Endowment gifts are important first steps in that direction.

Second, we need to create patterns of residential life that discourage exclusivity and encourage

interaction across barriers of ethnicity, region and gender. Every student is free to choose their own friends. But the structures of the University should discourage, not encourage, parochialism. Living with people of different backgrounds is part of the rich challenge of existing in a world of many colors and varied cultural perspectives. Previous attempts by the University to address this issue have not been particularly successful, and we believe a new effort is in order.

Third, we need to demand accountability from every member of our community to maintain respect for each other, especially across racial, ethnic, sexual and gender lines. No use of racial epithets should be tolerated. Any denigration based on gender or sexuality should be equally unacceptable.

Duke students who experience abusive or irresponsible behavior should feel confident that they can speak out and know that their concerns will be heard and acted upon.

Fourth, we should redeem, and uphold, our belief in the student-athlete. We should have no double standards in academics or admissions and should insist on full integration of academic life and athletic life.

Finally, we at Duke should take pride in being part of a community of honor. Students and faculty alike should pledge to uphold a code of mutual respect and of caring about each other. Pride in those standards should be essential to being part of the Duke community.

As faculty members, we promise to reassert our obligation to participate in the governance of this university, and to acknowledge our responsibility for helping to create a more healthy campus community.

In this spirit, and consistent with the principles articulated by President Brodhead when he established the task force on Campus Culture, we ask our president, our administrative leaders and our Board of Trustees to embrace these goals and the specific measures needed to achieve them. Because without such leadership, this moment of promise will pass, and Duke University will be a poorer place.

THE CHRONICLE

Nobody’s happy

I’d

like to tell you which one it is, but Duke buses all look pretty much the same. Maybe you’ve seen it: on your left when you’re getting on, in the very back of one of the older-style buses, someone has written in big black letters; “No one is happy.” To which some chipper soul has replied, in a gesture that’s either endearing or desperate, “I’m happy!”

How long this tiny debate has been there I can’t say. Each time I see it I feel a weird affinity for the two people who felt commt pelled to scrawl their argument on the plate-metal interior of a bus wall, especially the “no one” guy. I brian kindle wish I could find that person and tell him that, at ad astra least when it comes to college students, he pretty much got it right.

Admittedly, “no one is happy” might be a bit of an exaggeration; perhaps a better way to put it would be “a whole hell of a lot of us are really, really sad.” In 2005, the last year for which results are available, a full 15 percent of college students met the criteria for clinical depression, according to studies conducted by the American College Health Association. Compare this to a figure of about 9 percent for the American population as a whole. Remarkably, the same studies indicate that an astonishing 50 percent of all students were so depressed at some point in the year during which the study was conducted that they couldn’t function normally.

On top of that mess, the National Institute for Mental Health reports the second most common cause of death for college students is suicide. This coming year, an estimated 1,100 will kill themselves.

As sobering as these numbers are, it’s almost surprising they’re not even higher. Among my friends and acquaintances, bouts of depression are practically the norm rather than the exception. Perhaps I just hang out with a real crew of downers, but I don’t think so.

Nor do I think there’s necessarily anything wrong with the occasional emotional funk. To the extent that depression is just a magnified sense of sadness, exhaustion and hopelessness, I don’t think the occasional depressive slump is a problem at all. As we all know from listening to country music, life is rough; even Duke students get dealt a raw deal from time to time, and reacting to it by feeling tired, pissed off and empty is natural, even rational.

It’s refreshingly honest when someone simply acknowledges they’re in pain, without wallowing, without abusing or repressing that fact. I find people who continually enforce cheeriness on themselves way more disturbing. To a degree, then, the real problem is lumping this “healthy” sadness in with the vague and terrifying term “depression” in the first place.

Still, I know from experience, and the research confirms, that there’s more to it than all that. The 15 percent

of college students with clinical depression ain’t just wresding with everyday miseries. Furthermore, most studies (including some conducted by Duke researchers) suggest that the vast majority of depressed students aren’t coming to school that way; they’re becoming depressed while there. I’ve seen estimates of anti-depressant use at colleges that run as high as 25 percent of some student populations. This looks like way more than just an issue of bad terminology. Something is rotten on college campuses, or with college students. Why are we so damn sad?

That question, oddly enough, makes me think of New York City. Manhattanites are a notoriously miserable breed; one “happiness index” put together by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania ranked them last in the United States. There’s about 1,000 intriguing explanations for why this is so, but two common themes pop up again and again: the transience of friends and social relations in the city, and the incredible glut of options and opportunities available, so that every choice feels simultaneously insignificant and potentially wrong.

The comparison doesn’t map perfecdy, but I think the overlap with college life is pretty obvious. Most of our friends typically come and go, dropping in and out of our lives as some graduate, some study abroad and some simply lose contact. For many of us, communication with family members is rare. Our social networks are often very broad, highly shallow and not particularly stable.

At the same time, we’re also paralyzed by choice. The breadth of opportunity open to us is enormous, which more often than not leads us to sample everything, commit to little and accomplish even less. Instead of doers we become dabblers: We’re half-assed students, sort-of involved in this organization, halfway interested in this career or another.

We can listen to legendary humanitarians speak and dine on meals cooked by celebrity chefs, passively absorbing fantastic events without reacting or being truly affected. Even our volunteerism sometimes feels like an elaborate form of tourism. For such a wealth of experiences available, our lives are often remarkably inconsequential.

And that’s precisely the problem at the heart of the depression issue: It’s a question of meaning. For a great many students, college life, for all its proliferation of options, lacks real content. It’s devoid of meaning. To me, depression is a natural outgrowth of that.

So what’s the prescription? We could start by committing more deeply to far fewer things, staying in touch with our most valued friends and family, cultivating deep relationships even at the expense ofbroad ones. It’s all simple stuff, and so cliche it’s almost embarrassing to write.

Would this completely cure collegiate depression? Of course not. But come on, it’s probably stuff we should be doing anyway. Maybe it’s true that no one, or almost no one, is truly happy; I’m inclined to agree with that statement. But that doesn’t mean we have to be so damn sad.

A Trini-tard in Prattland

There

is a strange and mythical land located right on Duke’s campus. Ifyou go off the main quads and venture into the winding trails of the woods, you will emerge atop a hill overlooking a new place, like Dorothy arriving in Oz. It is a most peculiar landscape of circular blobs of grass, giant glass buildings and ominous smokestacks. It is a land consisting of two eateries, five massive edifices and a population of more than 1,500 natives. What is this mysterious land that so few of Duke’s students have ever seen?

The Engineering Quad.

Now to you engineers who are reading this, it may seem strange that your Trinity brethren have never crossed into your territory before, but it’s true. I speak for a large majority of the Arts and Sciences folk when I say that before last ztz:: week, I never even knew where the Engineering Quad was. Of course, this may be because as stacy chudwin an English major, I am the epitome of what some may shenanigans refer to as a “Trinitard.” I read poetry, I have a natural aversion to numbers and I plan on renting out George’s for a party the last day I ever have to attend ajnath class.

Thus, in a spirit of adventure and reconciliation between Duke’s two colleges, I decided to go on an expedition into this new land and report back to my fellow students on Main West on how the other halflives (or, other fifth). I was going to sneak behind enemy lines into a high-level Thermodynamics class and observe the natives in their natural habitat.

My expedition began with a trip to the mythical eatery, Twinnie’s. Seafood salad! Vegetable pitas! Chocolate eclairs! I almost thought I had stumbled upon a new favorite cafe, until I noticed the TVs flashing an ad for “High Resolution Biophotonic Imaging.” What? I was reminded of my mission, and I set off for class.

Now, Thermodynamics is one of those subjects that has always sounded fake to me. Like “rocket science.” Who actually studies this stuff? I was determined to find out. Expecting to sneakily plant myself in the back of a dark lecture hall, you can imagine my surprise and awkwardness when I walked in on an intimate class of about 30 students.

I was immediately bombarded by questions, namely, “What the hell are you doing here?” I explained that I was an English major curious to see what an engineering class was like, and the guy next to me turned to me, aghast. “Are you actually thinking about switching into Pratt?!” he asked, eyes wide with horror.

I reassured him I was not.

Class began, and I struggled to follow along with my expert knowledge acquired from Math 25. As the professor drew crazy schematics and diagrams all over the board, I never felt more out of place in my life. Example: Professor: “Come on, everyone knows that when you put an airstream through a turbine, the temperature drops!”

Students: (appreciative chuckles) Me: ???

However, I was very amused to see that the formula Pv RT closely resembles the word “pervert.”

Realizing that I would gain no further understanding ofThermodynamics that day, I decided to record my observations of the engineers and their ways (and who said Cultural Anthropology was useless?). I would be Jane Goodall among the chimpanzees.

Except in this case, the chimpanzees were smarter than me.

I expected to find bespectacled boys and a plethora of pocket protectors. However, these myths were quickly dispelled. There were some very cute boys in that class! Is Hudson Hall where they have been hiding this whole time? I saw no pocket protectors, but rather some remarkably clever Pratt T-shirts. (Who comes up with those witty slogans year after year? They must hire an English professor.)

On the whole, my observations revealed that engineers aren’t so differentafter all. They spend class doing the crossword puzzle just like us. They ask questions and formulate whole sentences just like us. In a world of academia that is becoming more and more interdisciplinary, it would do us all some good to understand that we and our mathematical brethren are quite similar at heart So, fellow Trinitards, if your curiosity has ever been secretly piqued by advanced integrated circuits, or if you’ve ever wondered what kind of lives the engineers lead, go into the wilderness and find out! Don some glasses, grab a thick textbook, put on a haggard stayed-up-all-night expression and plant yourselves among the engineers. They’ll never know.... =

ATTENTION: BONFIRE GUIDELINES February 22, 2007

We want to remind you about safety guidelines for basketball bonfires at Duke. Two years ago, the Durham Fire Marshal revoked permits following a bonfire that, in his view, had gotten out of control. Students and administrators subsequently agreed on the guidelines outlined below which will help ensure everyone’s safety.

The University has requested a City bonfire permit for February 25 (UNC Women at Duke).

The bonfire site is in front of House P. The bonfire must be contained within a 40-foot marked boundary and everyone should remain outside the boundary.

Benches should be stacked horizontally (rather than on end). Only two benches can be in the fire at one time. Do not put dorm furniture in the bonfire.

Periodically, the bonfire must burn down to a safe height. During “burn downs,” no additional fuel may be added to the bonfire.

Bring beverages in plastic bottles or cans.

Do not sit or stand on building roofs.

Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game.

The use of any accelerant is prohibited.

Bonfires on any other day or at any other location are not permitted. Students who participate in a bonfire on any other day or at any other location may be subject to prosecution.

Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.
