Duke's international student population has doubled in the past 10 years, forcing international students to carve their own niche on campus.

'So far away from home': International students find rifts, freedom at Duke by

Naureen Khan THE CHRONICLE

Even in a crowd of screaming Cameron Crazies, sophomore Vatsala Kabra’s accent stands out among the slow Texan drawls and Long Island twangs.

A unique combination of Indian and British English with an American twist, Kabra said she attributes its many nuances to her globe-

trotting background.

Kabra, who was bom in India, raised in Dubai and now resides in Durham, is one of Duke’s undergraduate international students a group that has doubled in size since 1997.

“One of the most important things that the University is emphasizing is bringing in international students and increasing the geographic and economic diversity of the students that come,” said Carlisle Harvard, director of —

the International House. “They are really important contributors to the Duke community.”

Some members of the international population said despite the strong institutional support they receive from the University, the exclusive social structures at Duke coupled with rifts in their own community make it difficult to adjust to life in a foreign country.

Duke Student Government leaders accepted responsibility for mistakingly omitting freshman Andrew O’Rourke from the freshman senate elections ballot for the first three hours of elections Tuesday.

O’Rourke, who ran for community interaction senator, said though he was not elected to the position he will instead apply to be a DSG atlarge senator. He added that DSG President Paul Slattery, a senior, gave the opportunity to ■ au attery request a re-vote, but recommended the alternative to be fairer to the other candidates.

“In the fact that it’s going to be fair to the most number of people, that’s alright, [but] I would’ve liked to see a legitimate election in the first place,” O’Rourke said.

DSG Attorney General Paul Zarian, a sophomore and head of the Election Commission, said a re-vote could potentially shift the voter turnout. Supporters for one candidate might show up in greater force in the re-vote, he explained.

“We thought this was the best way for all the candidates,” Zarian said. “We didn’t want anyone to be at a disadvantage. This is our fault and we didn’t want it to affect anyone else.”

Until the area gets more rain, use of water will be restricted in Durham.

Durham City Manager Patrick Baker will put into effect Stage 111 ofDurham’s Water Conservation Ordinance this Friday. Baker cited the current drought conditions and inadequate rejuvenation of the water supply from recent rain as reasons for the restrictions.

Under Stage 111 Moderate Mandatory Conservation, residents will be required to conserve water, as opposed to simply being encouraged to conserve under Stage 11.

Don Greeley, one of the two deputy directors of Durham’s Department of Water Management, said residents were not cutting back on water use enough with Stage 11.

With Republican presidential candidates in a statistical dead heat across the country, GOP leaders at Duke and around the state say North Carolina’s presidential primary could be decisive.

Traditionally, party nominees are decided in the early primaries well before North Carolina residents head to the polls, but many observers said 2008 could be the most open race in more than 60 years. It is the first election since 1952 in which neither a sitting president nor vice president will be on the ballot.

U.S. suspends diplomat travel in Iraq

BY SINAN SALAHEDDIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD

The United States

Tuesday suspended all land travel by U.S. diplomats and other civilian officials in Iraq outside Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, amid mounting public outrage over the alleged killing of civilians by the U.S. Embassy’s security provider

Blackwater USA. The move came even as the Iraqi government appeared to back down from statements Monday that it had permanently revoked Blackwater’s license and would order its 1,000personnel to leave the country—depriving American diplomats of security pro-

lection essential to operating in Baghdad.

“We are not intending to stop them and revoke their license indefinitely but we do need them to respect the law and the regulation here in Iraq,” government spokesperson Ali al-Dabbagh told CNN. The U.S. order confines most American officials to a 3.5-square-mile area in the center of the city, meaning they cannot visit U.S.-funded construction sites or Iraqi officials elsewhere in the country except by helicopter. The notice did not say when the suspension would expire.

The Iraqi Cabinet decided Tuesday to review the status of all foreign security companies. Still, it was unclear how the dispute

would play out, given the government’s need appear resolute in defending national sovereignty while maintaining its relationship with Washington at a time when U.S. public support for the mission is faltering.

Polls show Gen. David Petraeus’ report to Congress and President George W. Bush’s nationally televised address have had little impact on Americans’ distaste for the Iraq war and their desire to withdraw U.S. troops.

Petraeus, America’s top commander in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the top U.S. diplomat here, briefed the British government Tuesday to

Events encourage fruit and veggie consumption by

Ally Helmers THE CHRONICLE

Classic motherly wisdom is final-

ly making its way onto food points.

This week, Student Health will celebrate Fruits and Veggies More Matters, a health initiative aimed at suggesting ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into every eating occasion.

The celebration addresses the need for fresh additions to students’ diets with events officially —

beginning Wednesday morning.

According to statistics from the 2006 American College HealthAssociation National College Health Assessment, only 9.1 percent of Duke students reported eating the recommended five servings offruits and vegetables a day, and 53.3 percent reported eating only one or two servings daily.

But Duke is not alone in its eating habits. Although the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming more fruits and vegetables than any other food group, they also reveal that most people should be doubling the amount of these groups eaten daily.

“Key nutrients found naturally in fruits and vegetables can help reduce risk of certain diseases including coronary heart disease and hypertension,” said Student Health Dietitian Toni Ann Apadula. “Additional benefits for the college-aged population include helping to maintain a healthy immune system and providing increased energy throughout the day.”

To promote these benefits, Bon Appetit, which manages

dining services for both the Marketplace and the Great Hall, will hold a major fruit and vegetable display during breakfast at the Marketplace Wednesday morning and in the Great Hall Thursday morning.

Additionally, Student Health dietitians will be handing out informational material and giveaways on the West Campus Plaza from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, and both the Marketplace and the Great Hall will feature nutritious options on their menus throughout the week.

freshmen took the bench ofBassett dormitory hostage, and in the process damaged it so badly that it needed to be removed.

The same night, “Wilson Tl” was painted on the Giles bench, which until then had been stained and free of any paint.

The perpetrators of both of these acts are unknown.

Reactions from students have been mixed in response to the incidents. Some see themselves as upholding a tradition of inter-dorm rivalry and view the benches as a symbol of their respective dorms.

“If the house does not protect its symbol of pride then they’re losing out,” said freshman Andrew O’Rourke, a resident ofWilson.

“It’s their fault. They need to protect it.”

The topic of dorm unity also draws concern from some students. “[The activity] is breaking down the unity within the community, and there’s inter-dorm fighting now,” Brown resident Siyu Zheng said. “It’s bad.”

In comparison to past years, when benches have been hung from trees or lit on fire, some view this year’s pranks as harmless mischief.

However, this attitude does not extend throughout East. Residents of dorms victimized by the behavior, namely Giles and Bassett, tend to have a less enthusiastic view of the activities.

A father of twin sons, an avid golfer and biker and a recipient of several teaching awards, Daniel Scheirer joined the ranks of Trinity College’s associate deans in July, succeeding Kay Singer as the primary advisor for pre-medical students.

Scheirer, a former associate professor of biology and at Northeastern University, became the associate dean and director of the Office of Health Professions Advising.

He said he hopes to revamp the center during his tenure.

The role of the OHPA is to help students navigate the process of medical-school admissions, which Scheirer said can be “quite daunting and complex without a plan and procedure in place.”

“We are enabling students to achieve tfieir goal ofmedical school and provide the services needed for them to do so,” he said.

“From an outsider’s perspective, pre-med advising at Duke has a great reputation. I’m here simply to complement and extend what is already a high-level, excellent program.”

Junior Bilal Lateef, president of Duke’s American Medical Student Association Premedical Chapter, said he feels the focus of the pre-health advising office this year is to make itself an integral part of students’

pre-med experience.

Scheirer said he also plans to hold more workshops to inform students how to interview for medical schools, write the personal essay and apply through the American Medical College Application Service, a Web-based application used by almost all medical schools.

In addition to more presentations, Scheirer is redesigning the OHPA Web site and developing software with the Office of Information Technology to help the preadvising team and students communicate more easily.

Scheirer added that he is also advocating a more team-like approach and will coordi-

[A good pre-health advising team] must become proficient in the intricacies of the pre-med process and all the permutations possible to go into medicine,” he said. “We should learn from more experienced colleagues, which is why we’re hoping to have our advisors go to meetings and workshops so that they can learn how to answer more difficult questions.”

Scheirer, a member of the National Association ofAdvisors for the Health Professions, is also trying to get all of the advisors to join the NAAHP. “We take our role very seriously and want to have even more professional advisors,” he said.

Robert Thompson, dean of Trinity Col“

lege ofArts and Sciences, said Scheirer’s interest in teaching, advising and working with undergraduates on research was what made him an attractive candidate for the position.

Scheirer not only taught biology at Northeastern, but also served as the university’s chief pre-medical advisor and the chair of their Pre-med Advisory Committee.

At Duke, he will also serve as the academic dean for chemistry and physics majors.

In the future, Scheirfer said he will also teach undergraduates and added that he hopes to teach an introductory biology course.

“I always had a great interest in medicine and taught biology at Northeastern from a medical approach,” Scheirer said. “I worked with lots of pre-meds so the logical extension was to go into pre-med advising.”

WATER from page 1

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

GOP candidate Mitt Romney came to North Carolina in August.

PRIMARY from page 1 “If you look at the polls right now, we are going to get well through Super Tuesday and still not have a runaway candidate,” said Brent Woodcox, communications director for the North Carolina Republican Party. “It could give places like North Carolina and Texas a big say.”

The state’s election is scheduled for May 6, placing it in the third round of primaries. But, as primaries around the country creep up the calendar, Woodcox said moving the election is not the answer for the Old North State.

NorthCarolina GeneralAssembly failed to act on a bill that would have placed the state among the 20 states that will hold their election Feb. 5, the day known as Super Tuesday.

“When you go back, it has always been pretty obvious who the Republican candidate will be—it could be over by February,” said Galen Irwin, a visiting professor of political science at Duke who specializes in American politics. “But, what if nobody starts winning these things? You would have potentially a chaotic situation.”

After what Irwin described as an unemotional atmosphere surrounding the 2004 presidential campaign, he said he is skeptical of candidates’ interest in the state. “[Former North Carolina Sen. John] Edwards was the only candidate who even showed up in the state and he doesn’t even count because he’s from here,” Irwin said, noting that he did not see a single campaign advertisement during the election. “It was a great disappointment.”

Although North Carolina is not a typical stumping ground for presidential hopefuls, Woodcox said he expects this election season to attract more candidates in addition to Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who came to the state for fundraisers in August. “[Former Tennessee Sen. Fred] Thompson will finalize his strong base primarily in the South,” Woodcox said. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see him come down.”

In a 16-stop tour launched after Thompson announced his candidacy Sept. 6, however, the former actor bypassed North Carolina, making two stops in South Carolina before heading for five separate appearances across Florida, according to his campaign Web site.

Thompson has limited support among Duke’s conservative population, which unlike other North Carolina colleges draws heavily from Northern states, said junior Samuel Tasher, chair ofDuke College Republicans.

According to an informal survey conducted Sunday by Tasher, only 5 percent of Duke’s College Republicans said they would vote for Thompson, 22 percent chose former .New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and 30 percent said they support Romney.

“Thompson is on ‘Law and Order’ and little else and hasn’t done politically what the others have,” Tasher said.

He added that the College Republicans plan to organize a more comprehensive poll on Super Tuesday.

Among nationally registered Republicans, frontrunners Thompson and Giuliani are neck and neck, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released last week, but other national polls put the former mayor as many as 12 points ahead.

In North Carolina, however, Thompson dominates.

According to a recent poll released by Public Policy Polling, Thompson leads Giuliani 34 to 16 percent in North Carolina. In keeping with national trends, Thompson was overwhelmingly more popular among men, garnering 41 percent among male respondents.

Marthajenkins, president ofthe North CarolinaFederation of Republican Women, said she could not explain the gender discrepancy and added that the statistics are indicative of public curiosity rather than a potential victory for Thompson.

“I just don’t know enough about him,” she said. “He’s certainly got camera experience.”

facilities management department, said in a Sept.-18 press release that campus services would be prepared if water regulations were increased to Stage 111.

The Department ofWater Management reported that the average demand for water in Durham in September 2007 has been 35.82 million gallons per day, 7.33 million fewer gallons per day than in September 2006.

Stage 111 restricts residents from watering lawns, washing cars, washing down sidewalks, patios and driveways and serving complimentary water at restaurants. The city is also encouraging industrial, manufacturing and commercial centers to reduce water consumption.

Sophomore Xiao Zhang said she is doubtful that the new restrictions would affect her.

“I don’t think it will affect me personally since I live on campus,” she said. “I don’t water the lawn and I don’t have a car to wash.”

Claudia Paccieri, a first-year graduate student in the Pro-

gram in International Development Policy, however, said the restrictions on water use will impact students in many ways.

“Water is an elementary resource, so I can’t say that [the new set of restrictions] isn’t going.to affect us,” Paccieri said. “But I’m trying to figure out how they are going to enforce [the restrictions].”

The Water Conservation Ordinance states that the city can discontinue water service for any customer that violates the regulations, and Durham officials are encouraging residents to report water waste to Durham One Call—a center residents can call in to obtain information regarding services offered by the city.

Offenders will receive two warnings before their water service is terminated, City ofDurham officials stated in a news release Sept. 17.

Xiaomara Hernandez, also a first-year graduate student in the PIDP, said she hopes Stage 111 will help save water until the drought subsides.

“I know that it will be better for me, for everyone, in the long run, because it will conserve the resource,” Hernandez said.

Bush adviser Feaver weighs in on politics of Iraq war by

Erin Malone-Smolla THE CHRONICLE

For the past two years, Professor Peter Feaver has held office hours in Washington, D.C., aiding the George W. Bush administration in crafting a surge plan for the war in Iraq. Since returning to campus, the he has continued to be a voice in the debates raging on Capitol Hill.

Feaver, a political science professor, worked as the special adviser for strategic planning and institutional reform on the National Security Council staff, where he helped develop the long-run plan of the 21,500-strong troop surge.

“I wanted a career where I could do more than just one thing,” Feaver said of his time spent in the capital. “I was working on research, teaching and public policy.”

Through his work with the Bush administration, Feaver has also become a public figure in the debate over the future relationship between Democrats and Republicans concerning the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

“The Democrats have started to sound themes that aren’t inconsistent with the administration’s positions,” he told The Wall Street Journal Sept. 7.

Feaver said recent comments of the leading Democratic contender for the presidential nomination, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, indicated that some Democrats are realizing that immediate withdrawal may not be the best solution. , “When Senator Clinton said this, it really wasn’t too far from President Bush’s message,” Feaver said. “They aren’t saying we should reduce to zero—that would be too drastic.”

Bruce Jentleson, former foreign policy

Professor PeterFeaver has become a nationalpolitical figure because ofhis workon the National Security Council staff. adviser to A1 Gore and a professor of public policy, however, said Democrats and Republicans are not unifying on the issue.

“The president’s speech was not convincing,” said Jentleson, who is a friend of Feaver.

Feaver said there are many components to the surge—the military, the political and economic situation in Iraq and the political situation at home.

“I believe the military component went better than expected, the diplomatic went roughly as expected, but the American

domestic component went worse than ex-

pected,” he said.

Feaver added that he was disappointed with the outcome of the American domestic component because he expected more opportunities for bipartisan support. Although Democrats were involved in the planning of the surge, the two parties remained split on the issue, he said.

“It would be good for the next president if there was a bipartisan agreement,” he said. “It is something worth working towards.”

As the surge comes to a close, Feaver said history should be the nation’s guide in deciding how troops should be pulled out of Iraq.

“It is not a permanent commitment but usually a long-term one,” Feaver said. “If people leave early, the situation often returns. Bosnia is a perfect example of how the issue could flare up, and so is Korea, since we have been there for 50-plus years.”

Jentleson said he has a different view on how the situation in Iraq should be handled. With a genuine diplomatic effort with other countries in the region, stability could increase in the area and troops could be out by 2008, he said.

“I believe this would be more effective than the current policy of the president,” he said. “But in the end, it’s the president’s decision and he is the president until 2008.”

Sophomore Samiron Ray, president of Duke Democrats, said he believes that immediate withdrawal of troops would be best.

“Bush’s failure to delineate a clear plan for complete withdrawal represents a failure in planning to protect American soldiers in the future,” he said.

“Democratic plans for immediate withdrawal, such as the one proposed by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, provide the greatest hope for ending the war as soon and safely as possible.”

Although Feaver and Jendeson both agree to disagree on many issues, both said discussion is key to resolution.

“We agree on the need to have a constructed debate where the differences of the two parties are identified and where the motivation of each side is not put into question,” Feaver said.

Lisa Du

THE CHRONICLE

At Duke University Union’s meeting Tuesday night, conversations ranged from lighthearted discussions of T-shirt colors to serious talks involving North Korean refugees.

One of the main topics on the agenda, however, was the Union’s strategic plan, which will determine the group’s course over the next three years.

“Our internal organization didn’t really allow us to be innovative or responsive,” said sophomore Adam Nathan, vice president of programming.

He proposed the formation of a committee that will be responsible for drafting the strategic plan, which is currently listed in outline form.

The committee will meet separately but will bring drafts of the plan to be discussed at executive meetings, allowing all Union members to contribute to the final product, Nathan said.

Union members plan to present the complete document to University officials when applying for more funding for the organization, he added.

“A lot of this stuff has already improved substantially, in my opinion, from what the Union was a year ago,” said President Katelyn Donnelly, a senior.

Members also continued their discussion from last week regarding possible themes for their upcoming library event. Senior Rachel Saperstein, director of external liaisons, proposed a.theme highlighting the culture and arts ofDurham. “[The city] has a rich history but also has a rich continuing culture today,” Saperstein said.

She also presented a student proposal, from junior Mimi Kim, to organize a benefit event to help fund a school in South Korea for North Korean refugees.

Members said they are most likely going to fund one portion of the event, such as entertainment or catering. “[We can] work with other organizations who don’t necessarily have the programming expertise, to help them do events they really want to do and

In other business: Members also discussed advertising ideas for the Regina Spektor concert Nov. 19. Publicity for the concert started Monday in an effort to make students aware of the event early so they can plan their Thanksgiving Break around it, said senior Tara Mandalaywala, a Major Attractions representative. She added that many students leave early for the break.

Duke students will be able to buy tickets in a pre-sale event starting Oct. 1, for two days before ticket sales open up to the public. A possible collaboration between the student union at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill is also in discussion, and some of the tickets maybe held for pre-sale at UNC, Mandalaywala said.

Union members also took time to discuss their group T-shirt design, which reads “Everyone loves a DUU girl/guy.”

A

total of 1,333 freshmen voted Tuesday night and elected the following students to serve as Duke Student Government freshman senators:

The new positions will come into effect next year.

The vice president for Durham and regional affairs will deal with undergraduate issues in the Durham community, and the vice president for the ICC—serving as chair for both ICC and the Young Trustee Nomination Committee—will address internal community issues.

The vice president for community interaction is currently responsible for all the tasks ofexternal and internal community affairs.

“It’s part of being so far away from home... and being the only one that represents your culture,” said Gorina Apostol, a junior from Romania. “It’s a little difficult at first, but it’s a learning

experience.”

Apostol added that one of the things she likes best about Duke is the oppor-

tunity it has given her for cultural exchanges.

Coining to America Apostol said the first, hectic days of ori-

GLEN GUTTERSON/THE CHRONICLE

Many internationalstudentscredit theInternational Housefor aiding theirtransition to Duke and the United States.

INTERNATIONAL from page 1 the International Association. “We are an

incredibly diverse group of people with di-

verse interests.”

The existing social structures on campus along with self-segregation deter international students from integrating completely into the Duke culture, some said.

Kabra said although she felt there was a certain bond among international students, racial and ethnic ties can divide the sense of community.

“I question whether [international students are not embedded into the social system] just because they sometimes feel more comfortable with people of similar backgrounds or if it’s because they don’t feel accepted within Duke’s social system,” she said.

Kabra, a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, noted that she is the only interna-

tional student in her pledge class.

Sophomore Isaac He—born and raised in Singapore—said he also experienced the negative aspects of minority life for the first time at Duke. “[lnternational students] are not just one big group,” he said. “Some kids are totally fish out of water.... I think the dominant culture is not open to diversity in general. People catch people in these stereotypes, and it’s easy to sideline people into groups.”

He added that the strong greek system at Duke often contributes to the disconnect between international students and the rest of the undergraduate body, pointing out the relatively low number of internationals in principal social groups on campus.

Others students, however, attribute these kinds of social difficulties to living in a foreign country for the first time and having to rapidly adjust to a new culture.

entation were also her very first experiences on U.S. soil. Her difficulties mirrored that of many international students.

“You’re thrown into Durham and Duke and this huge campus that’s like [the size of] my city,” Apostol said. ‘You have no idea about anything—how to get your groceries, how to do your taxes and how to get to West Campus.”

To meet the needs of foreign students, the International House provides resources to cushion the transition between students’ home countries and Duke. Their programming starts with a special international pre-orientation that pairs incoming freshmen with upperclassman International House Orientation Peers —the equivalent of First-Year Advisory Counselors.

“It’s nice that... you get to know loads of IHOPs,” said Vijai Atal, a freshman from Oman. “Durham’s kind of boring but Duke’s really nice—much better than I expected it to be.”

The International House also serves logistical purposes, such as running frequent trips to the Social Security office and the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles and providing social programming, like the English Conversation Club.

“Administratively they’ve helped me a

good deal,” He said. “But they’ve run out of ways to make us feel welcome.”

There are, however, certain drawbacks to going to school in a foreign country that cannot be made easier by any amount of programming and services, some international students said.

Unlike some undergraduates whose hometowns are only a short drive away, many international students must cross multiple time zones to get home and can only make the trip for winter and summer breaks.

“It’s sort of just a mental and emotional thing—knowing that your family is an hour away versus knowing that they’re 14 hours away,” Kabra said.

Well-adjusted Despite these difficulties, several international undergraduates said they are happy to be at Duke.

These students cited the resources, opportunities and the unique academic experiences provided by the University as the best part of a Duke education.

Apostol said she attended an engineering university in Romania for a year as a computer science major and was attracted to Duke by the prospect of being able to study the arts.

“I decided to take a chance and come here,” she said.- “I was trying to sort of break away from the school system in Romania, which was very stifling. I like Duke a lot because here I have freedom to explore any field that I want to.”

Kabra said Duke and Durham have grown on her since the first semester ofher freshman year.

“I can finally say that I’m happy to be here, and for me, the good thing is that it’s constantly getting better,” she said. “Dubai will always be home, but Duke is a home away from home.”

Int'l enrollment explodes by

Naureen Khan THE CHRONICLE

In 1986,when International House Director Carlisle Harvard came to Duke, there were 47 international studentsenrolled. Times have changed since then, as Duke has increasingly extended its reach across the globe.

“Great universities need to draw top talent from around the world and to establish partnerships with other centers of research and innovation,” President Richard Brodhead wrote in an e-mail. “Duke has been pursuing this course quite aggressively.”

According to the most recent statistics provided by the International House, during the 2006-2007 academic year, 2,019 international students were enrolled at Duke from 117 countries—434 undergraduates and 1,585 graduate and professional school students.

The statistics indicate that the international population has more than doubled in the just more than a decade since the 19951996 school year, when there were 936 international students from 84 countries.

“The world is getting smaller and every Duke student needs to be much more global in their outlook and their thinking,” Harvard said. “Every international student can be a resource.”

The statistics, she added, are most likely under-reported because they only include students who need visas to enter America and not U.S. citizens who lived abroad prior to coming to Duke.

Among the countries that send the greatest number of international students

to Duke, China, India, Canada and South Korea have consistendy ranked as the top four nations for the last 10 years.

There has been a strong institutional interest, however, in increasing the geographic and economic diversity of international students, University administrators said.

As a part of the push toward making Duke an institution of global importance, internationalization is one of the six “enduring themes” of the University’s 2006 strategic plan, “Making a Difference.”

“It’s crucial for our students to have opportunities for international experience to prepare them for later life,” Brodhead said.

Provost Peter Lange said the University has expanded the amount of financial aid available to international students.

Currently Duke offers full need-based aid to 20 to 25 international students per year, according to the financial aid Web site.

“This year we’re going to be focusing on whether there’s a next phase ofinternationalization,” Lange said. “But we don’t have a clear fix on what that’s going to look like.”

Although Lange said the University’s foreign student population is on par with peer institutions, some students said they believe Duke has somewhat of a less international appeal than schools of similar caliber.

“Duke’s international students come from certain areas,” said sophomore Vatsala Kabra, who is from Dubai and is involved with the International House. “I come from an international school [in Dubai] and I feel like we had a more diversified student body.”

FRUITS from page 3

Students can choose from a variety offruits in the Marketplace.

the exhibition station on the days that the team is going to be in the cafes,” said Terri Brownlee, regional director of nutrition at Bon Appetit.

Although Bon Appetit representatives said the Marketplace and the Great Hall both promote a healthy selection of fruits and vegetables in their menus, some students disagreed.

“I think that they do serve a pretty good amount of fruit [at the Marketplace], but the vegetables are stale and I won’t eat them there,” freshman Carolina Rodriguez said. “Nutrition-wise, I’m not getting my fill of vegetables there, and am forced to go to West [Campus] if I want any.”

Despite student complaints of a lack of variety of such healthy eating choices at Duke, sophomore Elbe Lipsky, a member of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, said she believes that campus dining venues provide students with plenty of options

for fruits and vegetables all over campus.

“It you are looking for whole fruit or veggies, you will find them,” she said. “However, I do not believe that the selection is up to par with where it should be.”

With the availability of easy and affordable fast-food options throughout campus, students often find it favorable to pass up an apple for french fries on the way to class, Lipsky said. She added that an improvement in awareness of the availability of fruits and vegetables on campus, however, may increase student consumption.

“Both the Marketplace and the Great Hall include a healthy selection of fruits and vegetables at all meals,” Apadula said. ‘You may also like to try Quenchers fruit bar and The Refectory [Cafe], which tends to offer a variety of vegetable choices at lunch time.”

Although many Duke students may pass on the broccoli once given the option, others will learn to establish eating patterns that translate into energy and an improvement in well-being, she said.

When it comes to fruits and vegetables, Apadula added, more is always better.

Brown dorm's bench hasbeen emblazoned with an unflattering epithet

BENCHES from page 3 “We’re very upset because we didn’t provoke anything and they just defaced our whole house and our bench,” said Giles resident Jordan Rehlaender. “It’s not like we in-

stigated anything.”

Most of the bench activity has been contained to the main quad, and those dorms devoid of benches are left out entirely.

Freshman Molly Lester just said she wished that her dorm—Randolph—had a bench at all, even if that meant

it would be subject to the attacks ofother dorms.

Regardless of the extent of students’ participation in the war, Lisa Beth Bergene, assistant dean for residence life on East Campus, encouraged freshmen who had information about the incidents to alert administration. “[Bench vandalism] is taken seriously and can result in responsible parties having to reimburse the cost of the bench and also face judicial consequences,” she wrote in an e-mail to the class of 2011.

The acts seem to have abated in the past week following threats ofpolice involvement and severe consequences from administrators. Some residents have even chosen to submit written acknowledgements of their participation to their Residence Coordinators and Residence Assistants, and other students are beginning to take a more somber

perspective.

“Some ofthe incidents that took place went a litde too far,” said Pegram freshman Pronoy Sarkar. “When it gets to that level of intensity, it’s a waste of time on everybody’s part” At least one student said certain dorms have already earned a reputation as a result of their efforts.

“I think that Wilson is definitely the most savage of the dorms,” the student said. “They tend to behave kind oflike animals and savage people, from what I’ve seen.”

On Tuesday, the reporters at Duke’s weekly press conference were excited to speak with head coach Ted Roof following the team’s first victory in nearly two years over Northwestern.

But when Roof took his seat at the front of the room, he quickly burst everybody’s bubble.

“Alright, let’s talk about Navy,” he said.

Roof drove his point home when one journalist asked if he could address the win over the Wildcats before looking ahead to this weekend’s tilt with the Midshipmen.

“That was a long time ago,” Roof said.

The Blue Devils (6-3, 1-0 in the ACC) defeated the Demon Deacons in an authoritative fashion, sweeping their conference foe 3-0. Even when Duke was down on the scoreboard, the outcome never seemed questionable as the Blue Devils always controlled the tempo of the game.

“We lost a bit of confidence with the Nebraska loss,” sophomore Rachael Moss said. “But just winning so strongly back home brought everything back. I was a little nervous for this, but it was huge. It sets a precedent for the rest of the season and the ACCs.” In the first game, Wake (3-7, 0-1) caught Duke off-guard, scoring the first point on —

The Demon Deacons responded with rejuvenated intensity in the second game, though, setting the tone of the match with a 5-0 start. Service errors hurt the Blue Devils throughout the game, with six points resulting in short or foul serves.

“We just had too many errors in the beginning of game two,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “The errors just really destroyed the momentum and we couldn’t get anything started.”

After reminding themselves to focus with a chant midway through the game, Duke battled back to regain the lead and win the match 30-23. Two spikes from Moss served as the final nails in the coffin.

ts being in a batting funk—you just need a base hit,” head coach John Rennie said. “In baseball you choke up a little bit and you don’t try to hit a home run, you try to hit a single. In soccer, you just work on the fundamentals.

You try to keep doing the little things that you know you’re supposed to do.”

Aside from Paul Dudley’s two goals against then-No. 12 St. Louis Sept. 9, the Blue Devils have been unable to get that base hit. Duke outshot Villanova and West Virginia by a combined total of 40-13 and held an 18-1 advantage in comer kicks. But the Blue Devils were unable to get on the board in either match.

“We’ve got plenty of guys that can score, we’re justnot scoring,” Rennie said. ‘We need somebody to step up and score a big goal.”

The early minutes of tonight’s game will be important in that regard. Duke’s confidence rose after scoring a quick goal

against the Billikens, paving the way for a second-half goal and the victory. But the Blue Devils’ inability to score early against the Wildcats and the Mountaineers weighed on them as the games progressed.

“It puts pressure on the team offense as a whole, the team defense as a whole,” Rennie said. “It kind of wears on everybody a little bit. And then when you get a goal or two, all of a sudden that’s not the case.”

Duke has been missing three key seniors—Spencer Wadsworth, Zach Pope and Tim Jepson —which has not helped its current predicament. Pope is expected to get more playing time tonight as he continues to recover from knee surgery, while Wadsworth is questionable for family reasons.

Jepson—a senior co-captain—suffered a setback in his return from a hamstring injury and will not play. Nevertheless, having Pope and Wadsworth back for part of the game should give the Blue Devils an extra bounce in their step.

“They add the kind of athleticism, effort and speed that we don’t have out in the field right now,” Rennie said. “We have the effort, but we don’t have guys in those roles necessarily as quick or as athletic as them.”

The Gamecocks’ lineup is dominated by freshmen, so Duke is not sure what to expect from them. But the Blue Devils are more concerned with their own play—if they are able to find the back of die net, the game should take care ofitself.

“It’s a lot of unknowns,” Rennie said.

“I don’t expect any problems there. It’s more about us playing well and us scoring some goals.”

FOOTBALL from page 11 But after falling short so many times, Duke finally got to bask in its long-awaited postgame merriment because of the players’ ability to believe in themselves—even when it seemed nobody else did.

“Regardless of what people have said externally, we try to keep our focus on [ourselves],” Roof said. “Specifically, what we see and what we do, not what we hear.

We’ve lost several close games here, but it was nice to find away to go win one at the end. Hopefully, we can use that as a springboard to move forward.”

Over the course of Roof’s career, the Blue Devils have perfected the mantra of approaching the season one game at a time. Even after losing so many con-

the Blue Devils would have crumbled entirely under the weight of the nation’s longest losing streak. It may have taken longer than they hoped, but finally, at least for this week, their efforts translated into a victory.

“It is never, ever a situation where a player doesn’t want to make a play,” offensive coordinator Peter Vaas said.

“The effort is always there. It’s no different than you studying for a test. Every class you take, you want to get an ‘A,’ but you don’t necessarily do that every time. It’s the same thing with our guys. When we make plays and we make an abundance of them, good things

happen.”

It’s been awhile since Duke and good things came together, but now that they

have been reacquainted, the Blue Devils are willing to do anything to keep the good times rolling.

“This is a new year and we think we can play with anybody,” quarterback Thaddeus Lewis said. “We know we didn’t do so well against Connecticut, and we did better against Virginia. We felt like we could just keep getting better.... We came out and played hard, and when you play four tough quarters of football then the outcome will be what it was [Saturday night].”

Now that Lewis and many of his teammates have finally experienced their first win in a Duke uniform, they will undoubtedly concentrate on moving forward in search of the next one.

And soon enough, the Blue Devils hope reporters will not be so surprised when Duke comes out on top.

COHEN from page 11 night. Except, of course, I didn’t really

have a choice, and I wasn’t invited to the after-party. I was, however, a guest at the celebration that was Duke’s postgame press conference—such a rage that I’m surprised ALE didn’t show.

The hosts? Head coach Ted Roof, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis, defensive end Patrick Bailey, linebacker Vincent Rey and wide receiver JomarWright. The guest list?

Three reporters, including yours truly. The interview room was wide-open, unlike a typical section party. The conversation was quiet and civil, unlike Tailgate. The Busch Light wasn’t necessary—everyone in the room was already drunk with joy.

And they had plenty of reasons to rejoice. Actually, on second thought, maybe they had only one. For the first time in 728 days, they had scored more points than another university’s varsity football team.

(Speaking of numbers, a hearty mea culpa for my last column, in which I said the team hadn’t won in 742 days. I added instead of subtracted. But in my defense, the exact number becomes moot after 500 days.)

But that one reason, the 20-14 triumph, was reason enough. Reporters aren’t supposed to root for teams or exhibit emotion at games—something about journalistic ethics. Sitting two feet away in a semi-circle with Roof and his team’s best players, though, it was hard not to feel happy for the Blue Devils.

There was Roof—immaculately dressed in a dark brown suit, monogrammed blue oxford and brown loafers —exhaling literal sighs of relief.

There was Bailey—laughing hard enough to be heard in Durham—unable to breathe when recounting the game’s final

scrapes the tip of what they will feel when their minds inevitably drift to that nippy evening in Evanston.

When 20 years from now, in the most fleeting of circumstances, Lewis recalls his 15 consecutive completions, and Key remembers blitzing on the final play, and Roof recollects hugging the players who bought into his vision for Duke Football.

When those who witnessed the streak-snapper reminisce about that last play, which inspired those in the press box to stand in anticipation of what they would be writing on deadline.

It’s the type of elation that won’t fade even when Navy’s triple-option offense baffles the Duke defense this weekend or when the Blue Devils fall at Notre Dame later this year. (Or, maybe not.) It’s also the type of euphoria that won’t become banal if the team wins another game this year, or if the program reaches a bowl game in three years. (Or, maybe not.)

After Appalachian State beat Michigan in the Big House this year, I received an email from a fellow writer who covered the historic upset. “There’s a lot to be said for doing something where, on any given day, you might be a part of something people will talk about for 100 years,” he wrote, “Sometimes sports delivers something nothing else can.”

DSG from page 1 Slattery said O’Rourke will likely be selected as an atlarge senator.

“We encouraged him to apply to the at-large position and we’re confident that it’ll work out for him,” he said.

“Obviously he would make a good candidate if he cared about this so much.”

Zarian said O’Rourke was on the original candidate list he sent to senior Elliott Wolf, former DSG president and a Chronicle columnist, who wrote the election software last year and uploaded the names onto the Web site.

The apostrophe in O’Rourke’s name conflicted with a command in the software, preventing the name from appearing on the ballot, Wolf said. He added that he sent the candidate list to Zarian and Executive Vice President Jordan Giordano, a junior, to be checked over before it was entered into the database.

Both Zarian and Giordano denied having received ' the list.

But Zarian refrained from pointing any fingers, adding instead that an at-large senate position was effectively the same as being a community interaction senator.

O’Rourke said the apostrophe in his name invalidated any write-in votes he received before he was added to the ballot around noon yesterday. Elections began at 9 a.m. that same day.

“The only fair way to resolve this is to invalidate all the votes cast before my name was on the ballot and make all those people re-vote,” O’Rourke told The Chronicle before the outcome was decided.

O’Rourke said both before and after the results, however, that he thought the Election Commission handled the problem swiftly after he notified Zarian of the mistake.

“I realize that problems like this happen a lot and I’m thankful that the Election Commission reacted to it promptly,” he said.

TASER from page 2 his activities as “getting wasted” and “being ridiculous.”

Machen would not say whether the university had any previous conflicts with Meyer but indicated some such issues would come up in the investigation. He declined to elaborate and would not say whether he thought the latest episode was a prank.

Various videos of the arrest had been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube as of Tuesday afternoon and were in heavy rotation on TV news.

About 100 students gathered on campus Tuesday to plan protests, some wearing T-shirts denouncing police violence.

Benjamin Dictor, a liberal arts junior speaking for the group, called for the officers to be disciplined, Tasers to be banned on campus and the charges dropped.

“For a question to be met with arrest, not to mention physical violence, is completely unacceptable in the United States, especially in the halls of education,” Dictor said.

University police said in a news release that officers had been summoned by the forum’s sponsors to escort Meyer from the building, though organizers disputed that and said his microphone was cut off after he used a sexually explicit term.

Police added that Meyer was Tasered because he resisted when officers were attempting to place him in handcuffs. His lawyer, Robert Griscti, said it appeared Meyer was shocked after the cuffs were already on.

Just before Monday’s scuffle started, Meyer asked a woman to tape his exchange with Kerry. One officer said the woman was “there to film him” and that Meyer asked, “Are you taping this? Do you have this? You ready?” before beginning his question.

Another officer said the 22-year-old woman said she was in line to ask a question ahead of Meyer when she was asked to tape, but she did not know him.

Meyer refused to leave the microphone after his allotted time was up, police said. He had asked Kerry about impeaching President Bush, why he didn’tchallenge the 2004 election results and whether he and Bush were members of the secret society Skull and Bones at Yale University.

After Meyer repeatedly and loudly refused to walk away, two officers took him by the arms. Kerry can be heard saying, “That’s all right, let me answer his question.”

Audience members applauded, though it was difficult to tell whether it was for the officers’ action or Kerry’s remark. The audience for the most part sat quietly and watched the fracas.

Meyer struggled for several seconds as up to four officers tried to remove him from the room. He screamed for help and tried to break away from officers with his arms flailing, then was forced to the ground and ordered to stop resisting.

controver-

sy should never jeopardize an academic career.

After more than two decades as a professor, Chemerinsky clearly wishes to move to the next level of academia, and his departure

from Duke should be seen as a natural progression of his career. UC-Irvine’s offer is a fantastic opportunity for him, as he will be able to mold and guide the first new law school to open in California in 40 years. turned Chemerinsky down an offer to become the next dean of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law, and more recently a search committee declined to offer him the deanship of the Duke’s School of Law. The committee must have had its reasons, and this board has seen no reason to quibble with Dean David Levi, but the departure of a professor esteemed by peers and loved by students is perhaps the inevitable consequence

of what in retrospect may have been a missed opportunity for Duke.

The University can pay tribute to Chemerinsky’s brief but notable Duke career by attempting, if possible, to replace him.

The University can fill his endowed professorship with another high-caliber scholar as committed to the outside world as to his un-

dergraduates.

Mindful of the precedent by the events of the past few weeks, the new professor, along with his or her colleagues, should feel reassured that it is safe to grapple with controversial topics without fear of professional consequences.

Professor Chemerinsky, good luck. You will be missed. set

of his profession in commenting on capital punishment, as he did in the LA Times column. Chemerinsky’s outspokenness is part of what makes him such a widely respected figure, and certainly it should never be considered a liability.

If professors routinely withheld their opinions or shared them only in limited circles, the sophistication and nuance of public debates would suffer immeasurably. Tor the sake of both professors and our own edi-

A factor overlooked

remember when I got into Duke. My mom and I opened the package together, ecstatic to find that its contents brought good news. Yetjust as the excitement subsided, the reality set in: With a |45,000-a-year price tag, how could we afford it?

My dad is a Cracker Barrel manager and my mom is an inner city P.E./health teacher. As a family we had endured years of economic hardship, but my parents made countless sacrifices so that my sister and I could go to a decent public school and have some sense of financial normalcy. Once again, they put it all out on the line. We piled into our little Dodge Neon and drove 13 hours to Blue Devil Days.

The car ride was tense ■ My mom was psyching herself up to hate Duke. She T3ChGI ITlCldUC|lllin knew that the cost grossly effortless imperfection exceeded our paycheckto-paycheck means. With a strained smile she said, “Rachel, I don’t get why this place is so great.” Nervous that I would not be able to afford a spot in the Class of 2008, we sat in the Financial Aid Office awaiting the verdict We left relieved. Generousfinancial aid and “need-blind” admissions is how the girl from Fenton, Missouri ended up a privileged Blue Devil.

The new Interim Report on the Undergraduate Experience, released last week, made a quick statement about students like me: “There are other facets to diversity, e.g.... economic background, that will need to be explored going forward.” One line. Then the report drudged on to address the familiar territory of selective housing, race and gender dynamics.

The previous report, the Campus Culture Initiative Steering Committee Report, also left out socioeconomic status and its impact on Duke culture.

The only exception is its critique of the admissions process. At the time ofits release, student concern surrounding selective housing overshadowed a more radical suggestion: “The Committee recognizes the need to raise the low end of the admissions standards, including those for legacies, development candidates, and athletes, so that all admitted students not only have the potential to graduate but have the preparation and commitment necessary to contribute frilly to the intellectual life of the community.”

Stripping away political correctness, the translation is that the University’s liberal acceptance of underqualified wealthy kids (i.e. legacies and development projects) may be negatively affecting campus culture. Blasphemy.

But pinpointing socioeconomic class as a determinantof campus culture is tricky. This is because it is relatively invisible. We all live in the same dorms, dine using the same food points and the kid from Exeter is in the same public policy class as the kid whose parents have a $0 FAFSA parental con.

Missing the

tribution. No one knows how much money I have or don’t have unless I tell them.

As a friend recendy pointed out to me, Durham also keeps one’s ability to pay under the radar. Shooters costs $5 at the door and domestic Big Beers at Sati’s are $4 a pop. With table service out of the question, the wealthy can’t distinctly pull away from the non-wealthy. We all end up in the same place—whether it’s Shooters, Sati’s, P-zades or a section party.

This means that the only blatant indicators of wealth are material possessions—the brand new Beamer in the Blue Zone—or, in the case of development projects, an unfortunate intellectual mishap. Take thekid in yourclass who consistently makes intellectual observations that are clearly off track. The entire semester you ponder how this kid ended up at Duke. Later you discover that the kid’s mom/dad runs a Fortune 500 company. The universe makes sense again.

Yet class distinction is more pervasive than this rare development case suggests.

After talking with Jim Belvin, director of the Financial Aid Office, I learned that approximately 2,500 Duke students receive some sort of financial aid package. Although the Financial Aid Office does not have statistics for families that do not apply for financial aid, Belvin noted that students with a yearly family income of $200,000 qualify for some sort offinancial aid.

With roughly 6,200 undergraduates at Duke, this leaves 3,700 students who are not on financial aid. Assuming that a family with a $200,000 yearly income behaves rationally and applies for the financial aid for which they qualify, we can say that these 3,700 students (60 percent of the student body) come from families whose incomes exceed $200,000 every year.

U.S. Census data drives the significance of this number home. The data shows that the aggregate income received by the top 5 percent of families in 2004 was $173,640. Get this—the majority ofDukies meet this criterion, making Duke an institution that primarily caters to the lovely children ofAmerica’s top 5 percent.

So Duke students represent a wealthy, privileged subset of the American population. Blatant indicators like Beamers and Coach purses aside, how does socioeconomic class operate beneath the Duke surface?

Might socioeconomic class affect the way in which Duke students... view the world?... interact with members of the opposite sex?... join sororities or fraternities?... volunteer in the community? Might economic status influence career ambition and support a culture of effortless perfection?

The CCI and Interim Report glazed over these economic issues, investigating gender and race intricacies, with little attention paid to the elephant in the room. An investigation that does not address Duke’s unusual socioeconomic condition can hardly be considered thorough.

lettertotheeditor Petition, black dress to protest Jena injustice Two years ago, as a high school senior, I was privileged to meeta group ofyoungmen from Thomasville, Ga. They were members of an organization called Men of Distinction, and they were in Atlantafor leadership training. They stopped by my high school to confer with the executive board of a organization there. These youngmen—all of them black—were affected daily by racism in their education. This wasn’t altogether surprising. What startled me was that they felt discouraged to make any significant changes in their lives.

These young men awakened me to a reality of the rural south. In many places, the distribution of power and influence did not significantly change with the civil rights reforms of the 19605. fri Thomasville, money, power and influence still rest in the hands of an elite (read white) class of wealthy landowners (read chiefly descendants of slave owners). Predictably, many of the town’s poor are black descendants of slaves who remain poor and disempowered despite being over 100 years removed from slavery and 40 years removed from the civil rights movement Lacking money, influence, and allies in the town’s powerful ranks, the young men, although hopeful, felt that the odds were stacked against them and that no one knew or cared enough to lend a hand.

In July, when I learned about the Jena 6,1 didn’t see any pictures of the six young men whose lives have now been forever changed. In feet I still haven’t They exist in my mind as thefeces of the young men I met from Thomasville. They are full ofboth hope and frustration with lives they don’t control

and are thwarted from changing. I can see their faces contorted in anger as District Attorney Reed Walters looked at them uttering those words that rang so horribly true, “See this pen in my hand? I can end your lives with the stroke of a pen.” I can see their jaws clench, longing to cry- out, butknowing that no one will hear them, that no one will see them.

The travesty of justice in Jena is bigger than the six young men. It’s about more than being overcharged for a school brawl. It’sabout addressing the grossimbalance of power in all thejenas and Thomasvilles across the south. It’s about making it known that we won’t sit idly as young lives are ripped apart “with the stroke ofa pen.” It’sabout telling the invisible people that we finally see them, and we’ll fight for those terrorized by hatred, bigotry and poweriessness in their communities.

Tomorrow, Black Student Alliance, Duke ACLU, the Center for Race Relations, Duke Student Government, NAACP, Duke Democrats, National Pan-Hellenic Council and a host of other organizations will take a University-wide stand against the injustices heaped upon the Jena 6.1 hope we’ll all join the effort by wearing black in symbolic protest A petition to Louisiana officials will also be available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the West Campus Plaza. Tell the Jena 6 that Duke believes, in the words of Martin Luther King, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Craziness During

my first month as a Duke senior, I realized there is no imaginable scenario in which I might meet new people. Over the three short years I’ve been here my circle of friends has crystallized, and I can’t imagine how it might grow.

Jfgy From that point of view, 1.,, I somewhat envy you fresh\ men—still so wide open, still rfeeling out new people, still tain where you’ll finally Bfcr** ’ end up. The nice thing about the universal uneasiness of.

JOTuSn GVGTSOn freshman year, in which you orie fj ne morning are essentially forced to make friends, is that you do actually make new friends I just don’t have to exert all that effort anymore. I’ve got enough buddies, I’ve got a girl, I’ve got coursework, a thesis and the job hunt. I’m busy, I’m fat, I’m content.

And yet there’s a driving impulse to be with people. Tuesday night at Charlie’s is a constant temptation, as is Thursday at Satisfaction, because I know there will be tons of people I’ll probably recognize there.

I will rarely stay anywhere for very long unless the place is hopping. And yet, when it is busy, I sit there amidst a swarm of people and just keep talking to the same few friends with whom I arrived. I’ll probably even complain about how hard it is to hear over the crowd. So why leave the house?

My life at Duke is pretty cut off from the heart of the school. Part of it is the fractured way my career here progressed; a year on East, a year on West, a semester abroad, a semester on Central and now a year off-campus.

After my first two years, I was marginalized to the part of Duke no campus tour would ever pass. And more importantly, without any real continuity of living situation, there were few obvious opportunities to make friends. So, I simply kept the few friends who had lived around me for my first years at Duke.

And now, living off-campus at Duke isn’t exacdy like living off-campus at a big state school; though I’m only a few blocks from East, I’m not surrounded by other students. My housemates and I seem to exist in our own discrete little pod.

I suppose the far-flung, progressively dismembered nature ofstudent life at Duke is a natural trade-off: as the bonds of friendship develop, there is just less time to connect with those who exist outside our immediate circle.

And yet, I feel the need to be with my fellow Dukies in mass. It might just be my desire to people-watch, or it might be something more primal, but all I know is that I go looking for large gatherings of my fellow students, and there are too few good opportunities to revel with my peers.

In the spring it’s easy to find outlets. For example, last spring there were several big events: K-ville and the basketball season, those semiformals in the library and the Gardens and Last Day of Classes. In the fall, there are few equivalent events. My basic need goes pretty much unfulfilled.

If you have been following my column at all, you might notice a running theme: Whenever I feel something, I assume everyone else must feel it too, to some degree. Thus, I am certain that we all instinctively feel the need to be rambunctious together. It is a need bred in Cameron from freshman year on, and it goes undernourished all Fall.

Our desire to be ridiculous together, whether in Cameron or in the Blue Zone, is the defining aspect of Duke’s social life. It explains why we have ripped down goal posts on two of our last three football wins, despite their essential meaninglessness, and why our football team’s failings are so tragic.

We just need more channels to vent together in the fall.

The one outlet we have had since my Duke career began, Tailgate, is already on the endangered list: not only are we playing seven road games and four home games (a logical setup considering how much more money other schools make from their home games than we do), but one of our home games is scheduled for Fall Break, when the gathering of huge numbers of students seems unlikely.

So, barring Tailgate’s extinction, we have Homecoming and Georgia Tech almost a month later at which we can be crazy. That’s pretty lackluster, compared to the myriad events in the spring.

With only two such events, it’s no surprise Tailgate gets out of control.
