TRIUMPHANT Blue Devils capture third straight title, fifth in program's history

Johns Hopkins takes title 9 12-11 by

THE CHRONICLE

BALTIMORE It was almost the perfect story.

Dominated by a third-seeded Johns Hopkins squad (13-4) that won 12 of 16 DUKE 11 faceoffs and *j 2 dictated time JHU of possession in the first half, Duke appeared to be done, facing a 10-4 hole at the break.

But over the final 30 minutes of the game, the team that has faced adversity for the past 14 months yet again lived up to its motto—“succisa virescit,” Latin for “when cut down, it grows back stronger.”

The top-seeded Blue Devils (17-3) found new life in the second half, clawing their way back into the game with five unanswered goals in the third quarter before pulling even at 11-11 with 4:37 left in the fourth.

Even when Blue Jay attackman Kevin Huntley turned a Mike Ward turnover into the go-ahead goal with 3:25 remaining, Duke seemed determined to give its 2007 season its storybook ending.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Boilermakers, Bruins and thunderstorms threatened all day, but nothing could stop the Blue Devils’ march to their third straight national tide.

No. 2 Duke battled rainy and windy conditions to post a 2over 290 and pulled away from playing partners UCLA and Purdue late in the round to capture the NCAA Championship by 15 strokes Friday. The Blue Devils’ third consecutive title tied the

NCAA record, set by Arizona State from 1993 to 1995, and put them one behind the Sun Devils with five championships in program history.

“There’s no better way to end your college career than this,” said the team’s lone senior, Anna Grzebien, who posted a team-bestfinal round of 2-under 70. “It would have been kind of a downer if I went out without another championship. But it just means the world to me to go out on this high note.”

After trailing by five strokes

following Day One, Duke took

control of the tournament in the second round by posting a 1under 287, the only under-par team round the whole week on the challenging LPGA International Legends Course.

The conditions of the waiver dictate that non-seniors from the canceled season will be provided with a fifth year of eligibility to play lacrosse The 2006 seniors are excluded from the ruling because NCAA rules dictate that student-athletes have five years to complete their four seasons of eligibility, and that window has expired.

Senior Associate Director of Athletics Chris Kennedy, who played a large role in constructing the appeal to the NCAA, said the biggest challenge for Duke was the lack of precedent for its case.

Kennedy said the University’s argument was built upon an analogy to teams affected in the fall of 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

Bush calls for more AIDS help

Afghan helicopter crashes, kills 7 Jason Straziuso

by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan

Five Americans and two other soldiers died when a Chinook heliqopter was apparently shot down Wednesday evening in Afghanistan’s most voladle province, a U.S. military official said. The Taliban claimed responsibility.

NATO’s International Security Assistance Force said other troops rushing to the scene were ambushed and had to call in air support to drive off their attackers.

Initial reports suggested the helicopter was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade, said the U.S. official, who insisted on speaking anonymously because the crash

was still under investigation. NATO said there were no survivors.

Along with the five Americans, two soldiers from Britain and Canada who had been passengers were also killed, military officials said.

A purported Taliban spokesperson, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, claimed in a phone call to The Associated Press that militants shot the helicopter down in southern Helmand province, the world’s largest opium poppy-growing region where combat has been heavy in recent months.

Ahmadi did not offer any proof for his claim, but he specified the helicopter crashed in the Kajaki district hours before

NATO reported that information. Kajaki is the site of a hydroelectric dam and the scene of recent fighting.

NATO said the CH-47 Chinook was carrying a crew of five and two military passengers when it crashed.

The cause was “being determined by military officials,” it said.

NATO said troops going to the crash site were ambushed by enemy fighters and the unit called in an airstrike “to eliminate the enemy threat.”

It did not say if the troops were from the U.S.-led coalition, NATO’s force or the Afghan army. One civilian was injured by gunfire.

U.N. approves assassination tribunal by

The U.N. Security BEIRUT, Lebanon Council voted Wednesday to unilaterally establish an international tribunal to prosecute suspects in the killing of Lebanon’s former prime minister, prompting many Lebanese to celebrate and dance in the streets.

The vote at U.N. headquarters in New York was 10-0 with five abstentions—Russia, China, South Africa, Indonesia and Qatar.

Nine votes were needed for passage. The five countries that abstained objected to establishing the tribunal without approval of Lebanon’s parliament and to a provision

which would allow the resolution to be militarily enforced.

Holding back tears, the son of assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri said the resolution was a turning point in Lebanon that would protect the country from further assassinations. Saad Hariri called it a “victory the world has given to oppressed Lebanon and a victory for an oppressed Lebanon in the world.”

“Enough divisions...Let’s put our energies together for the sake of the nation,” he urged.

A massive suicide truck bomb in Beirut killed Hariri and 22 others in February

The issue of the tribunal has sharply polarized Lebanon. It is at the core of a deep political crisis between the Western-backed government and the Syrian-backed opposition led by Hezbollah.

Seligmann chooses to transfer to Brown by

David Graham

Brown men’s lacrosse coach Lars

THE CHRONICLE

Former Duke student and men’s lacrosse player Reade Seligmann will enroll at Brown University for next year and play for the Bears lacrosse team, he announced Tuesday.

Seligmann, who was indicted last April in connection with rape allegations against members of the 2005-2006 lacrosse team, was nearing the end of his sophomore year at Duke when he was suspended in the wake of the indictment.

“I hope to make [Brown] proud of accepting me as a student,” he told The Associated Press Tuesday through his attorney, Jim Cooney. “I am looking forward to just being a student again.”

Seligmann and Collin Finnerty, another indicted former player, were readmitted to Duke in January. The Brown Daily Herald reported in February that Seligmann was looking at Brown.

Cooney sought to downplay the importance of Tuesday’s announcement.

“We want to make it as much of a nonstory as it ought to be,” Cooney said. “[Seligmann] just wants to be a college student again.”

Seligmann, Finnerty and David Evans, Trinity ’O6, who was also indicted in the case, attended the NCAA championship lacrosse game against Johns Hopkins Monday, as did former head coach Mike Pressler.

“I appreciate the support and loyalty of my teammates and coaches at Duke,” Seligmann said through Cooney. “I will miss them. I know that they will understand why I cannot return to Duke.”

Brown released a statement from Dean ofAdmission James Miller.

“The Brown University Board of Admission carefully evaluated Reade Seligmann’s application, as well as the applications of nearly 1,100 other highly qualified transfer candidates, and voted to offer him admission to the College as a transfer student,” he said. “We expect that he will begin his studies at Brown in the fall of 2007.”

Tiffany did not return a call seeking comment Tuesday.

Current Duke head coach John Danowski said in February that he was assisting the families in evaluating programs, though he said he hoped both players would return.

“We are pleased that Reade Seligmann is resuming his education and wish him only the best at Brown,” John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, wrote in an e-mail.

Finnerty’s father, Kevin Finnerty, declined to comment on his son’s plans Tuesday. He has previously said no decision would be made until the case was resolved. North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper announced March 11 that all charges against Finnerty, Seligmann and Evans would be dropped.

The Seligmann family was not available for comment Wednesday.

Former Duke lacrosse player Reade Seligmann will play out his college career for the Brown Bears.

City Council voted May 24 in favor of an external investigation into the Durham Police Department’s involvement in the Duke lacrosse case.

Durham Mayor Bill Bell said the investigation will be led by a committee of individuals selected by the council but added that it is unlikely that any council member will be personally involved.

“We’re looking for answers, and I don’t think it will serve us to have a council person on the committee if we’re really trying to make it independent,” Bell said.

committee members, including the appointment of a leader for the group, will begin at a council meeting Friday. Bell, meanwhile, has compiled recommendations for the council and will be presenting them at the upcoming meeting.

Bell added that the time frame for the investigation is as yet unclear but will be another issue discussed by the council and the members of the third-party committee once they are selected.

“What I don’t want to do is rush to a conclusion,” Bell said. “I have ideas about a time frame that I would like to propose... [but] if we form a committee we have to make sure they feel comfortable with the time frame.”

Durham Police Department Chief Steven Chalmers said at the May 24 meeting he supported the council’s decision but raised concerns about the

THE CHRONICLE

Following the men’s lacrosse team’s 12-11 loss to Johns Hopkins in the NCAA Championship May 28, columnists from around the country commented on what Duke's Cinderella season meant to its lacrosse program and the school at large. The Chronicle lakes a look at the reactions of the columnists since the Memorial Day loss.

In “Despite final chapter, book isn’t closed on Duke saga,” Rick Maese ofThe Baltimore Sun discussed how the failed last-minute championship game comeback that ended the season would not put an end to the unrest brought on by the rape accusations pinned to former players David Evans, ’O6, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann.

“For the 41 Blue Devils who’ve overcome so much, they know a single lacrosse game doesn’t end a thing,” Maese wrote. “But by listening to the players and to their coach and their families and their fans, what we also realized yesterday is that for the rest of us, it’s not really over either.

“The indictments are gone. The charges dropped. But the ugly themes and intrinsic conflicts remain.”

John Feinstein, Trinity ’77, brought to attention internal problems of the University stemming from the lacrosse incident. In a piece for The Washington Post entitled “All is Not Well And Good With Duke Athletics,” he called for a personnel shake-up to account for what he sees as mistakes made by the administration during the lacrosse scandal.

“One can only hope that those playing lacrosse learned their lesson from the disaster of 2006,” Feinstein wrote.

“What’s sad is that the adults appear to have learned nothing. [President Richard] Brodhead continues to do his Mr. Chips act, sending out lengthy e-mails to alums about how everything is going just fine now.”

Feinstein also condemned the University for not firing Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, Athletics Director Joe Alieva and also John Burness, vice president of public affairs and government relations. “No one from Duke has apologized to the lacrosse kids for throwing them under the bus—the kids are hardly victims here but the school chose to protect its image rather than its athletes—and the entire athletic department is in disarray,” he wrote.

Steven Marcus of Newsday, though, praised the University’s hire of head coach John Danowski. His article

“Danowski and Duke the perfect fit” celebrated Danowski for raising the caliber of the team’s performance high enough to allow the action on the field to overcome the effects of the rape scandal.

“For all the mistakes Duke made in the rush to judgement on the players, hiring Danowski made perfect sense upon examination,” Marcus wrote. “Mien the alleged scandal of Duke lacrosse morphed into the scandal of

PETE

Even with legal charges against three former men's lacrosse players dropped, the team remains in the national media spotlight.

Durham politics, malfeasance and downright misconduct, Danowski looked heroic with his open door policy on players, staff and himself.” . In “A team of their own,” Yahoo! Sports columnist Dan Wetzel took aim at the Duke faculty members whom he believed presumed the guilt of the three former lacrosse players. Wetzel claims the team was on the field fighting for themselves, not for “a school some players may attend but don’t trust,” he wrote.

“While much of the condemnation in this case justifiably has focused on defrocked district attorney Mike Nifong, the Durham Police Department and a reckless media, some of the most heatedrhetoric did not come from civic authorities or far-off columnists. It came from Duke’s very own opportunistic professors, the ones right in front of them, which wasn’t just more personal but much worse,” Wetzel wrote.

And Mike Wise for The Washington Post agonized over the fact that the Duke lacrosse team had.been put on a pedestal by national spectators not just because of its performance through the tournament, but also because of its status as a group of vindicated martyrs who persevered through the torments of unfounded rape

allegations.

In his column “Introducing the Program That Needs No Introduction,” Wise lamented that the demonstrated skill of Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala and his players failed to capture as much national attention as Duke lacrosse’s run at redemption did.

“It should have been a tremendous matchup between elite lacrosse teams. Period. Instead, the entire weekend became a moral referendum on student-athletes, namely Duke’s,” Wise wrote.

“In a sport fed by America’s private-school system (read: predominantly white kids from families with disposable incomes), the Blue Devils went from being called ‘hooligans’ by an ambitious and misguided district attorney to being cast as vindicated heroes after charges were dismissed for their wayward, off-campus kegger.”

Chelsea Allison THE CHRONICLE

Getyour lemon daffodil cupcakes while you still can: The Nasher Museum ofArt Cafe’s caterer is on its way out.

Sage & Swift Gourmet Catering, owned by current Nasher Chef Amy Tornquist, will cease operations at the Cafe when its contract with Duke Dining Services for the venue is terminated June 30.

“When a venue’s contract is up, we entertain anyone who wants to be on campus,” said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services. “Any change will be for the better.”

Wulforst added that it is a standard part of the evaluation process to court different prospects as a comparative tool, even ifDining Services plans to renew the contract.

Sage & Swift did not enter a bid to remain at the Nasher.

“We looked at four candidates and narrowed it down to two finalists,” Wulforst said. “I think that the work Sage & Swift has done at the Nasher has been positive, and we were looking for a vendor that has similar things to offer. We wanted a local, organic venue of sorts, and we looked to see that a vendor could present a unique menu for the Nasher.”

The two finalists have been presented to Kernel Dawkins, vice president of campus services and Mary D.B.T. and James H. Semans Director of the Nasher Kimerly Rorschach, and Wulforst said he expects a decision to be made within the next few days.

Wulforst did not disclose the names of the finalists.

Three finalists announced to replace Chalmers Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

by

Donald Green, Ron Hodge and Jose Lopez are in the running for the position of Durham police chief, City Manager Patrick Baker announced Friday.

Green, a deputy police chief in Knoxville, Tenn., Hodge, deputy police chief of the Durham Police Department, and Lopez, assistant police chief of the Hartford Police Department in Connecticut, will attend a public forum next Tuesday to answer questions submitted by Durham citizens.

“I am thoroughly impressed with the solid experience of these finalists,” Baker said in a statement. “They meet the criteria and qualities 1 had in mind for the next chief, including having risen through the ranks at a similar-size police department, holding positions that allowed them to develop strong field and management experience, combined with an appreciation for strong community, relations.”

Baker plans to make a decision in July and hopes to have the new chief in office by early fall, said Amy Blalock, public affairs specialist at Durham’s Office of Public Affairs.

Current Chief Steven Chalmers will retire at the end of this year after working with the department since 1975 and serving as chief since 2002.

“The public forum is an opportunity for citizens to ask the candidates questions,” Blalock said. “It’s the public’s chance to ask any question they wish.”

The candidates were chosen from a pool of five applicants by Baker, following a round of interviews two weeks ago with Baker, deputy city managers and a selection panel that included police chiefs from nearby cities and city department directors, Blalock wrote in an e-mail.

Andy Miller, president of the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association, said, however, that he was concerned that his group was not involved in the selection process of the finalists.

“Who does it hurt to set up another interview so [the police officers] can question the candidates?” asked Miller, who is also a DPD lieutenant. “I’m sure the questions they ask will have a differentset of interests from the city manager’s.”

Don Green Green, a current deputy police chief in Knoxville, Tenn., has been a law enforcement officer for 29 years, spending 28 years in Knoxville. Green, 50, currently oversees the support services for KPD, which includes training, records and technical functions.

Ron Hodge Hodge, 52, has been working with the Durham Police Department since 1983 and was appointed deputy chief in July 2005. Hodge worked with the Virginia State Police, Virginia State University and a private security force prior to coming to Durham.

CurrentPolice Chief Steven Chalmers will retire at the end0f2007after over 30years of servicewith the department.

He noted that the last police chief selection in 2002 demonstrated the importance of gathering input from different parties.

“It was a huge fiasco when [then-City Manager Marcia Conner] declined to involve anyone else in [the selection process],” Miller said.

Conner’s first pick resigned because a prior record of arrest was discovered, the second choice took the job but left soon after and Chalmers, the third pick, ended up in the job.

Miller added that NCPBA was very involved in the third-round selection.

“Police officers are the majority stakeholders in die department, they should play more of a role in the selection process,” Miller said. “The right way is to involve the employee group and let them have a say.”

“The process is what the manager decides, as long as it follows personnel procedures,” Bell said. “He doesn’t have to make it an open process, he doesn’t have to have anyone involved.”

This Sunday, Baker told Eyewitness News that the search is an open process and that he has been in touch with local PBA members. All police officers will meet with the candidates soon to offer their input, he added.

Chalmers notified Baker of his retirement plans in July 2006 and the search for the new chief began in December of that year, Blalock said.

“I’ve known the chief since becoming the mayor and overall he’s done a good job from my perspective, notwithstanding the lacrosse incident,” Bell said.

The candidates have been asked to

withhold public comment until the forum Since the announcement of the finalists, two of the candidates’ prior records have come to under scrutiny.

Hodge faced a misdemeanor charge of child abuse 10 years ago. Although the charges were dismissed in court, the North Carolina attorney general’s office sought to strip Hodge of his law enforcement certification, The Raleigh News & Observer reported Wednesday.

“There’s nothing that causes me concern from that incident that affects Mr. Hodge’s capacity to be the next Durham police chief,” Baker told The N&O. Lopez faced an investigation of mishandling of a firearm at a crime scene in 1999, The N&O reported Saturday. He was accused of attempting to conceal that a state representative’s son was found with an illegal firearm. The investigation, however, found no evidence of wrongdoing.

council’s course of action “[Council members are] willing to listen to the rumor mill and talk to anybody and everyone other than the police chief,” he said. “Up to this point, I have not [had] any contact from anyone on the council asking to sit down, ask questions and get answers.”

Chalmers added that council members could have sought answers from the department before moving to an external investigation.

“I would have hoped they’d have at least enough respect for this organization to sit down one-on-one or in twos and say, ‘Help us to understand what happened here,”’ he said.

Bell said he has not met with Chalmers recently butadded that such meetings would not have addressed the council’s primary concern—passing information on to the public.

“These types of questions are best answered by a thirdparty,” he said. “[They are] not for us —they are primarily for the public.”

Though a representative from Baker’s office said the city manager—who worked with Chalmers to produce the original report from DPD’s internal investigation—is currently awaiting instructions from the council on how best to proceed, he said he felt the report addressed the major questions on the table.

“He narrowed the report to address three questions,” said Beverly Thompson, public affairs director for the office of the city manager. “He believes the report did answer those questions.”

Chalmers added that his report was more expansive but was cut down at the suggestion of Baker, who asked him to focus on the April 4, 2006, lineup that many legal experts have said deviated from normal police procedures for identifying suspects in a case.

City Council last week authorized an external inquiry into the Durham Police Department's handling of the lacrosse case investigation.

Bell and other council members have said previously that their questions regarding DPD’s procedures in the case go beyond the lineup alone and include doubts as to who was ultimately responsible for the prosecution of David Evans, Trinity ’O6, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann .

Bell and other council members said the initial report failed to answer such questions. Still, Bell said he has not lost his confidence in the department, but said the thirdparty investigation is meant to uncover the truth.

“With the exception of this lacrosse incident, I think they’ve done a good job,” he said. “I say the lacrosse incident because obviously some things went awry and the question is why and what caused it.”

ELIGIBILITY

Oneof the constraints that graduated seniors who wish to come back for a fifth year may face is pressure from future employers to start work in the fall.

that competed in nine out of their 20 scheduled games and they both got their seasons back,” Kennedy said. “The key thing we had to demonstrate to the NCAA was that the season was cancelled for reasons that were beyond our institution’s control.”

Last spring, when the Department of Athletics first inquired about petitioning for an extra year of eligibility for last season’s seniors, the NCAA believed that, the players were responsible for the cancellation of the season because they had held the party, Kennedy said.

“We really couldn’t make this argument until some of the prosecutorial irregularities were revealed and until the charges were dropped and the boys were declared innocent,” he added.

The NCAA’s ruling not only affects the sophomores, juniors and seniors of the 2006-2007 Blue Devil team, but also has the potential to greatly alter recruiting for the next three years if current players exercise their rights to play an additional season.

“There are going to have to be some decisions made fairly quickly,” Kennedy said. “Although, nothing says this eligibility has to be used at Duke.”

Recently graduated senior Tony McDevitt said the lacrosse players first found out about the NCAA’s decision from a text message sent by head coach John Danowski Wednesday morning.

The team learned that Kennedy had begun the petition process two months ago, and Kennedy confirmed that to the team about a month ago, the graduate said.

McDevitt noted the difficult nature of the decision this year’s senior class, in particular, must make in the near future.

“I think everybody has a real interest,” McDevitt said.

“It’s just whether it’ll be plausible or not.”

McDevitt, who has a job with Merrill Lynch in New York City already lined up for the fall, said part of each player’s choice is contingent upon the understanding of their new employers and whether, logistically, returning is in their best interest.

“Everyone just wants to make the right decision—and it’s not an easy one,” he said. ‘You have to weigh your options, but the two biggest things are that you are getting this opportunity to, one, further your education at Duke, and, two, to play lacrosse again with all your best friends. That’s an opportunity that doesn’t come around everyday, and that is something that I am sure people will consider.”

Regardless of each individual’s choice, there is a sense that this decision has brought further closure to a team that has dealt with the effects of a national scandal for over a year.

“We’re gratified by this decision from the NCAA, and feel it is a fair resolution to our situation,” Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said in a statement Wednesday.

Virginia devastates Duke in closing minutes by

THE CHRONICLE

For the third time PHILADELPHIA in three years, the Blue Devils ended their season just one step short of the National Championship game. Second-seeded Duke let a nine-goal lead slip away to lose 14-13 to No. 3 Virginia Friday night at Franklin Field.

After her team had already made an epic comeback, Virginia senior midfielder Jess Wasilewski tJ 14 carried the ball in DUKEII3 front of the cage with the score knotted at 13 and nine seconds remaining in the game and rattled one home to send the Cavaliers into the title game.

The ten-goal comeback win was the largest in NCAA tournament history.

“I thought our kids believed in themselves—l thought they went hard,” Duke head coach Kersdn Kimel said. “It’s just tough.”

The heartbreak of yet another close NCAA tournament loss was amplified by the way the Blue Devils (164) opened the game. Kimel called the first half “the best half of lacrosse that we’ve played this season,” and Duke headed into the locker room with a comfortable 8-3 lead.

The Blue Devils carried their momentum into the second half, completing a 51 run in the first 10 minutes of the second period. Junior attacker Caroline Cryer—who set the school record for single-seaDREW HALLOWELL/SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE son goals with 71 in the second half—highlighted the run with an acrobatic Senior Michelle Menser offersconsolation to her teammate after Duke's stunning 14-13 NCAA semifinal loss. goal, as she caught the ball in front of the mark in the second half and, soon after score again in the game, net in midair and flicked it over her head, that, Duke sophomore midfielder Carolyn Instead, Duke had 14 turnovers in the without looking at the net.

But that’s where the dream ended and Davis stumbled on a run towards the net half, five more than the number of shots the nightmare began. and was carted off the field due to a severe the team took in the second period. VirThe Cavaliers (19-4) scored at the 17:09 knee injury. The Blue Devils would not ginia, on the other hand, took control of

the game offensively and bombarded Duke goalie Kim Imbezzi with 28 shots.

“We made too many mistakes, and once we started making mistakes, we started playing a little bit sloppier,” senior midfielder Michelle Menser said. “Virginia was able to capitalize on our mistake, which -was the biggest thing [in its comeback]. So they just took the reigns and the momentum, and we weren’t able to get it back.”

Duke jumped out to its early lead in the first half with a combination of efficient offense and sturdy defense. Senior attacker Kristen Waagbo helped start the game with a bang, scoring the first of her four goals just 25 seconds into the first period. The Blue Devils capitalized on almost every offensive opportunity in that half, converting nine shots into eight goals and ending the half on a 5-1 run.

The team’s steady offense was supplemented by the astonishing play of Imbezzi, who stopped 10 of the Cavaliers’ 13 shots on goal in the first period.

“She was outstanding,” Kimel said “We have a little thing working with her we call ‘beach balls’—the ball is as big as a beach ball-and tonight the ball was as big as a beach ball for her.”

The Cavaliers’ historic rally echoed Duke’s March 31 come-ffom-behind victory at Virginia, in which the Blue Devils erased a six goal deficit to capture a thrilling 19-18

triple-overtime contest. “[ln that game], we were the underdog, and we were coming back and being really resilient and they lost to us,” senior midfielder Rachel Sanford said. “And so they showed the same kind ofcharacter in coming back on us, and we just weren’t able to capitalize.”

In Sunday’s title game, two-time defending champion Northwestern beat Virginia 15-13.

Grzebien finishes career in style by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Senior Anna Grzebien, the 2005 individual national champion, paced the Blue Devils in theirfinal roundand led them to their fifth program title.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Anna Grzebien came into the 2007 NCAA Championship having already won two team national titles and an individual NCAA crown.

But Duke’s only senior was far from satisfied, and she bounced back from a dreadful first day to lead the Blue Devils to a comfortable victory for their fifth national championship.

Coming off a final round at the NCAA Regionals in which she shot 2-under-par, Grzebien struggled mightily on the tough LPGA International Legends Course in Round One. After a triple bogey on the sixth hole, Grzebien bogeyed the par-3 12th, then proceeded to bogey each of her last four holes to post an 8-over 80. The round was the senior’s worst in four NCAA Championships—she had not even shot above a 75 in the NCAAs since she was a freshman.

“I was a little less settled the first day here,” Grzebien said. “I just put a little extra pressure on myself, and there was a lot going through my head, that this was my last college tournament. I didn’t really get on a good start, and it was tough to get into my groove.”

The Blue Devils’ depth kept the round from hurting die team. In college golf, teams are allowed to take the four best scores from their five competitors. Grzebien’s round was dropped, and Duke only trailed by five strokes after the first day. After the round, Duke head coach Dan Brooks knew he didn’t have to say anything special to get the intense Grzebien going.

‘You don’t want to give Anna a reason to get burning inside, and dial’s what that 80 did,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “She shot the 80, and fortunately the way they set college golf up, we get to throw it out. And who knows, that 80 might have been a positive, in that the bum that came from that propelled her to do the rest of it.

“She’s the kind of person who’s going to get fueled by something like that,” Brooks said. “She’s going to be fu-

eled by a bad round, and there’s no way she’s going to let that define this tournament. No way.”

Grzebien came out on Day Two determined to avoid finishing her career with disappointment. After the Blue Devils took the lead early in the second round, Grzebien went on a tear, notching four birdies over six holes after die turn. She posted Duke’s best round of the day, and the Blue Devils remarkably went from fifth place to having a seven-shot lead over the field.

In all, Grzebien shot 4-under-par over the final three days, which trailed only individual champion Stacy Lewis of Arkansas during that stretch. The senior flew up the leaderboard, rocketing from 95th after Round One to her finish in sixth place. She was also one of only nine competitors in the 125-player field to shoot under par on the rainy and blustery final day as she helped to clinch the Blue Devils’ third straight national title with a 2-under 70.

“We’ve had our ups and downs throughout the year, and to come together and peak at the right time, it was just fantastic—and that’s what team chemistry can do,” Grzebien said.

Coming out of high school, Grzebien surprised many people in the golf community by not following her two older sisters to play at Northwestern. After a Duke career that allowed her to hold up four of the recognizable wood-and-gold trophies and experiences she said are far beyond what she could have expected, it is safe to say Grzebien made the right decision.

One thing is for sure—the Blue Devils are happy they got her.

“I love the players I get to be associated with—watching people like Anna grow from being just a touch on the immature side as she came in to one of the best leaders we’ve ever had,” Brooks said. “It’s always hard to see somebody like Anna leave. I feel like we’ve become really close. That’s why I do it. It’s not so much about the three-peat... but it’s nice.”

ortsbriefs Duke in 29th after Day One of NCAAs The 21 st-seeded men’s golf team shot a collective 14-over 294 Wednesday at the Gold Course at the Golden Horseshoe GolfClub in Williamsburg, Va. Freshman Adam Long paced the Blue Devils, firing a team-low 71 and placing him in a tie for 51st. Long carded three birdies and four bogeys on the day.

Sophomore Clark Klaasen and junior Michael Quagliano finished in a tie for 107th after going 4-over in their rounds, followed by senior Jake Grodzinsky and junior Michael Schachner, who turned in scores of 5-over and 9-over, respectively.

“We didn’t get off to a good start today, but our score doesn’t reflect how we played,” interim head coach Brad Sparling said. ‘We just had one of those days where you get a couple of bad breaks, and you end up shooting a score higher than you should have based on how you played.”

Play continues tomorrow in the second round of the NCAA tourmanent when Duke tees off at 7:20 a.m.

Danowski wins Tewaaraton Trophy Senior attackman Matt Danowski was recognized as the county’s top player Wednesday night, when he was honored with the 2007 Tewaaraton Trophy at a banquet held in the nation’s capital.

The Farmingdale, N.Y.-native was selected from a competitive field of five, which included Paul Rabil of Johns Hopkins, Frank Resetarits ofAlbany, Ben Rubeor of Virginia and Max Seibald ofCornell.

In the 2007 season, Danowski broke the 44-year old ACC single-season record for points by registering 96 total on 44 goals and 52 assists.

The Tewaaraton is only most recent addition in a series of accolades Danowski has racked up this year. The senior has also been named as the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s Player and Attackman of the Year, ACC Player of the Year, to the USILAFirst Team All-America and the NCAAAII-toumament team.

W. GOLF from page 1 any airtime,” head coach Dan Brooks said.

“They love the game of golf, and golf is all about one shot at a time. So when you love the game, you don’t get caught up in what it means.”

As the players shared laughs and hand pounds before the round—and even as each player teed off just a few feet away from the trophy that they would hoist several hours later—it seemed as if they had nerves of titanium. But this was nothing new. Duke had gone into the final round leading by at least eight shots each of the last two years and never had any difficulty holding on for the victory.

Nevertheless, Duke looked like it could be caught early on, as the team registered 11 total bogeys on holes one through seven. But the team scores through nine holes showed that Purdue and UCLA, which had begun the day eight and 13 strokes back, respectively, had gained only one and two strokes on the Blue Devils.

“That gave me a good feeling to know that we were the same after the turn, because I felt like we’re a solid enough team and we make enough good choices where if we could have about an eight-shot gap going into the back side, we could sustain the lead all the way to the end,” Brooks said.

The Blue Devils proved to be just that. Even as the skies broke open on Duke’s back nine, and the’wind blew the rain sideways into the players’ faces, the Blue Devils locked in with the national title in sight.

The team’s top four players shot a combined 2-under par after the turn, leaving the competition to wait for next year for a chance to knock off the threetime champs.

“They’ve got a great bunch of kids and obviously good leadership and great team chemistry,” Purdue head coach Devon Brouse said. “They’ve got it going. The rest of us are going to have to work hard and try to run them down.”

Duke throughout the week, finishing fourth individually with a 1-over 289.

Grzebien and sophomore Jennie Lee placed sixth and seventh overall, respectively, as Grzebien bounced back from an opening day 80 to shoot 4-under-par over the next three days.

ACC Freshman of the Year Allison Whitaker did not contribute to the team score in the final round, but still hit the shot of the tournament for the Blue Devils.

After hitting her second shot on the parfive eighth hole into a fairway bunker, Whitaker hit a blind 50-yard pitch 15 feet beyond the flag and spun it back into hole for an eagle. Grzebien nearly matched her teammate’s feat just two groups later, as she hit her pitch from the fairway a foot past the hole before tapping in for birdie.

Junior Jennifer Pandolfi also notched a birdie as the Blue Devils took advantage of the easiest hole on the course to the tune of 4-under-par on the final day.

As Blumenherst sealed the victory and walked off the 18th green, Brooks hugged the sophomore and whispered into her ear, “Two more.” He was then brought back to the enjoyment of the victory as his players doused him with a cooler of ice water.

But it didn’t take too long for the Blue Devils to look ahead to their future championship possibilities.

“Jennifer Pandolfi has three, and we’re going to try to give her four next year,” Blumenherst said. “We have such an amazing team—the chemistry and also the talent—that we can get it done.”

I’ve been studying in Alanya on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast for four months now. The Alanya I first came to, however, is not the Alanya I will leave tomorrow.

THE CHRONICLE

lettertotheeditor Butler’s column on Duke admins misses mark I often find Kristin Butler’s columns thoroughly researched and intellectually stimulating. But such was not the case in her most recent column (“Integrating the Allen Building,” May 24). It seems that Butler has traded the careful research characteristic of her previous columns for the venom and overstatements evident in this one.

Let’s begin with the first paragraph, which Butler ends by labeling the Duke-Durham relationship as “deeply dysfunctional.” That’s news to me, and I imagine news to many others who have had genuine interactions with citizens of Durham, rather than merely basing opinions off of sensationalized media reports.

Butler then, in an unnecessarily snide way, suggests that the University bribed Durham officials $2 million for municipal considerations that should have been free. I’m not sure if Butler was trying to push the envelope, or simply trying to be funny, but neither worked. Apparently administrators also “sold out” future students’ needs by agreeing to un-

reasonable limits on retail space for the new Central Campus. If she wants to disagree with administrators’ decisions, so be it. But she has oversimplified complicated situations and rendered harsh, and often unfair, judgments.

This letter would be incomplete without mentioning Butler’s oh-so-dramatic plea that “someone, somewhere” in the Brodhead administration might “someday” care about students’ needs and rights.

Right. The |3OO-million Financial Aid Initiative and $3O-million Duke Engage program are further signs of the Brodhead administration’s total negligence of the financial and service-learning needs of Duke’s students.

I’ve been told that Kristin Butler takes great pride in her columns, and often for good reason.

But here’s hoping that in the future she won’t trade articulate analysis for vitriolic overstatements.

Political and stuff

Like

many young Americans, I have run smackdab into a wall of political ineffectualness.

Whereas in high school I wrote essays on the mistreatment of women under the Taliban regime, and in college held weekly debates on the Iraq war against my warmongering, NRA-card-carrying dormmate, lately I can’t even muster the energy to support my most deeply held beliefs in a political arena. Apparently it takes a mere four or five years of fujacqui detwiler tile harangues on the incoherence of the curplease hire, desperate rent president and his cronies before one curls up in a corner and intellectually dies.

Sometimes I even find myself thinking, if a Roe v.

Wade supporter pickets in a forest, and no one is there to hear her... does she really make a sound?

The thing is, I am not alone in feeling this way. The alarming lack of young voter turnout in the 2004 and 2006 elections indicates that many of the under-30 set feel their individual voices just don’t matter. Short of manning a talk radio show or scoring a seat in the Senate, how can a regular guy make an impact at any level above college or local community?

Well, there are the usual candidates marches, riots, hunger strikes, picket signs, starting at the local government and pushing until you manage to shove one of the higher-ups by accident. But given the fact that many of us hold jobs and can’t rally the equipment or manpower for a march or practicable hunger strike (and that riots generally suck for most involved), what is a college student with an opinion to do?

Enter e-activism. A field that started out as a set of email chain letters has morphed into an Internet industry in which you can select your causes, sign petitions and be reminded of the current national and international —

injustices from the comfort of your desk. Women’s rights junkie? Join the Planned Parenthood Action Fund email list and receive notices of women’s rights petitions you can sign right there online. Can’t stand the way people practicing alternative lifestyles are treated by the government? for equality at Sign petitions www.equalitync.org, which are sent to North Carolina legislators. Genocide in Darfur your personal anathema? Read a blog on the progress of the cause and find out how to get involved at www.savedarfur.com, and even sign up to receive e-mail updates. In short, no matter your political passion, there’s away to stay current and at least feel like you’re making an impact without quitting school and chaining yourself to (or against?) a legion of hippies. Although, for the record, those chain letters still do little more than irritate the hell out of everyone.

Although e-activism won’t make you a modern day Gandhi, at the very least, it’s likely to raise awareness and a sense of relevance. For those who are already heavily involved, it’s like activism lite, but for those of us who have been out of the game for awhile, it may just preserve our sense of effectualness for a day when a legitimate need for a hunger strike arises In the past three weeks I have signed three petitions—more than I have in years—two on issues I’ll fight for till the day I die, and the other on an issue about which I didn’t even realize I had an opinion. In a world that is "

In a world that is decidedly not black and white, it's important to determine where you stand among the gray.

decidedly

black not to where you it’s determine important and white, stand among the gray. Although I still wish I were slightly more involved, I think figuring out where and in which direction to start shouting in the forest of causes is the first step to being heard. For now, in between answering e-mails and writing papers, I am an e-activist... because sometimes I want to be political and stuff, too.

Hey, the Cornell game was good ASHEVILLE,

N.C. What is there to say about Monday’s lacrosse game? It’s Tuesday evening as I write this, and the loss is still too painful to delve into. Let’s talk about the Cornell game instead. If I live to be a thousand, I doubt I’ll ever be more gratified by a sporting event.

I caught Saturday’s semifinal with a dozen alumni and students in the Wild Wing Cafe, a chain sports bar on Asheville’s Biltmore Street. We pushed a couple of tables together, orjared mueller dered an unholy numboumtje-boumtje ber of Ranchilada wings and made small talk while waiting for the first faceoff. An anesthesiologist with Trinity and Med School degrees showed up decked head-totoe in Blue Devil gear and brought his high school-aged son. Two grad students from the Nich School came out, despite their limited connection to Duke sports and unfamiliarity with lacrosse. We even reeled in an alumnus from Greenwich, Conn., who was in town scouting a company for his hedge fund. He asked his hotel’s concierge where he should watch the game, and by pure coincidence she directed him to the Wild Wing.

ESPN kept delaying the game, so we killed time chatting about the one link we all had in common: Duke. The doctor’s son said he is applying early decision here next fall, and it turns out his sister is in my grade. The old-timers retrieved alcohol-soaked memories from the cobwebs: “There was a party on West Campus every night. The Main Quad permanently smelled like Bourbon Street on Sunday morning.”

Greer scored with three seconds left in regulation, and our group exploded. Everyone hugged and high-fived; the hedge fund manager gave a cell phone play-by-play to a family member in his clipped Yankee accent. The rest of the bar might have thought we were insane. If they did, we were oblivious. We happily waddled in our love ofDuke.

From my perspective, one of the saddest outcomes of. this mess is that it has diminished the enthusiasm some people have for our school. Reade Seligmann, for one, has severed his ties with Duke and will transfer to Brown, for reasons that are complex and unclear. Seligmann’s statement was diplomatically vague: “I appreciate the support and loyalty of my teammates and coaches at Duke... I know that they will understand why I cannot return to Duke.”

I certainly don’t criticize his decision, but it saddens me.

On a personal (and admittedly selfish) level, after spending hundreds and hundreds of hours covering the case for The Chronicle and learning to respect the lacrosse players, their attorneys and families, I was always hoping for some fairytale resolution to the case. The indicted players would return to Duke as heroes, win the 2007 or 2008 (hope springs eternal) national championship, and the screenwriters of “Hoosiers” and “Rudy” would option their story. The mechanics of this scenario are fuzzy (Pressler and Danowski as co-head coaches? They’re both good, I wouldn’t want to give up either), but the point is the players would be redeemed, and so would my beloved school.

But aside from the wish-fulfillment level, I really regret for Seligmann’s sake that he won’t have the lasting relationship with Duke that I will. Brown is an incredible school, but it isn’t known for inspiring the sort of semi-sacred alumni bonds that Duke, Notre Dame and few other schools cultivate. It’s harder to imagine a dozen Brown alumni coalescing in a mid-sized city 200 miles from campus (say, Schenectady, N.Y.) to watch a lacrosse game. We are tremendously privileged to attend a place that inspires this loyalty. We owe it to ourselves, and to everyone who has ever attended or might ever attend this school, to keep a vigilant eye on Duke, and make sure it remains a worthy object of our affection. Go Blue Devils.
