Three students robbed off East Campus Ex-laxers sue Nifong, city, DPD Civil rights suit asks

for money reforms ,

by

Three Duke students were held up in an armed robbery early Tuesday morning in the parking lot next to the Whole Foods Market on Broad Street. by

Nate Freeman THE CHRONICLE

Durham Police Department officers responded to an armed robbery involving a female undergraduate and two male graduate students that occurred

outside the Whole Foods Market on Broad Street in Durham early Tuesday morning.

As the three students walked through the parking lot of the grocery store—located just steps away from East Campus—at about 3 a.m., a man got out of a black Nissan Pathfinder holding a semiautomatic weapon, the students told police officers.

The students told police there was a sec-

ond man in the car during the incident.

The man held the students at gunpoint and ordered them to hand over cash, credit cards, cell phones and an iPod before returning to the vehicle, which then sped down Broad Street.

None of the students were injured in the incident, according to police reports.

Duke University Police Department Maj. Michael Snellgrove said there are no leads regarding the suspects, but added that DPD is pursuing the case.

“DPD is responsible for the investigation,” he said. “Because students were involved, naturally [DUPD] were very much interested in locating the suspects. We’re looking for them as well.”

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, sent an e-mail to students Tuesday informing them of the incident and reminding them that they are a “target for robbery and are especially vulnerable late in the night or in the very early morning hours.”

Moneta added in an interview that the administration has made an effort to reach out to the three students involved in the robbery.

Snellgrove said armed robberies within such a close proximity to Duke’s campus are a rare occurrence.

“It’s very out of the ordinary,” he said.

“This university has not had many armed robbery reports.”

Attorneys representing Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans, Trinity ’O6, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Friday against the city of Durham and 13 individuals who helped prolong the rape case in which the three were falsely accused.

The 155-page complaint, which also blames former Durham district attorney Mike Nifong, DNA Security, Inc. and members of the Durham Police Department for the mishandling of the case, calls for undetermined punitive and compensatory damages as well as a 10year order and permanent injunction seeking to reform the conduct of DPD in criminal investigations.

Law professors said the requests made in the complaint are not unusual for civil rights lawsuits.

Richard Emery, the attorney representing Seligmann, told ABC that the exonerated former lacrosse players hoped the lawsuit—which was previously estimated at requesting $3O million in damages—would prevent Durham and other cities from falsely accusing and convicting people.

“This is not about money for the boys, though obviously they deserve compensation,” Emery said. “This is about sending a message to public officials who only get

Kyi calls for talks, objects to conditions THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

YANGON, Myanmar The party of democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi called Tuesday for talks with Myanmar’s military regime following a bloody crackdown on anti-government protesters, but it urged the junta not to set conditions for any meetings.

The junta’s top general offered earlier this week to meet withSuu Kyi, who is underhouse arrest. But he said she must first renounce her calls for international sanctions against the regime, which has been widely condemned for crushing the protests last month.

“The success of a dialogue is based on sincerity and the spirit of give and take,”

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy said in a statement, which was based on her past speeches. “The will for achieving success is also crucial and there should not be any preconditions.”

In its first comment since the regime held up the prospect of talks, the party appeared to be trying to encourage negotiations without abandoning its platform.

The party emphasized past statements by Suu Kyi, but also said it could make “adjustments” for the sake of dialogue.

On Monday, state media said the regime had appointed Deputy Labor Minister Aung Kyi as the Cabinet’s “minister for relations” to coordinate contacts with Suu Kyi. He is

considered more open than top junta leaders, who are deeply insular and fiercely hostile toward Suu Kyi. The Southeast Asian country has been ruled by the military since 1962, and protests that broke out in August over a fuel price hike quickly ballooned into mass demonstrations calling for democracy when widely respected Buddhist monks began spearheading daily marches.

Troops crushed the protests by shooting at demonstrators Sept. 26-27. The regime said 10 people were killed, but dissidentgroups put the toll at up to 200 and say SEE MYANMAR ON PAGE 8

Court refuses to hear el-Masri case by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A German man who says he was abducted and tortured by the CIA as part of the anti-terrorism rendition program lost his final chance Tuesday to persuade U.S. courts to hear his claims.

The Supreme Court rejected without comment an appeal from Khaled el-Masri, effectively endorsing Bush administration arguments that state secrets would be revealed if courts allowed the case to

proceed.

El-Masri, 44, a German citizen ofLebanese descent, says he was mistakenly identified as an associate of the Sept.

He claims that CIA agents stripped, beat, shackled, diapered, drugged and chained him to the floor of a plane for a

flight to Afghanistan.

He says he was held for four months in a CIA-run prison known as the “salt pit” in the Afghan capital ofKabul.

Center blocks global warming by

Hon Lung Chu THE CHRONICLE

Senior Matt Rumsey is, in his own words, not an environmentalist.

Yet the starting center of the Duke football team spent his summer researching and compiling a report highlighting innovations made by North Carolina cities to combat the effects of global warming.

Rumsey, who participated in the Stanback Internship offered by the Nicholas School of the En-

vironment and Earth Sciences, worked with the North Carolina Sierra Club to release the “Cool Cities Best Practices” report.

“I think [global warming is] an issue that everyone needs to be aware of,” Rumsey said. “It’s something I felt like I want to be involved in.”

Cities participating in the “Cool Cities” initiative are aiming to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to their 1990 levels by 2012, said Tom Jensen, conservation campaign coor-

dinator of the North Carolina Sierra Club.

“The report showcased a lot of good things that the 25 cities in North Carolina are doing,” he said.

Jensen added that the Sierra Club feels that the federal government has not been active in helping the environment.

A political science major and two-time Academic All-ACC selection, Rumsey said the job gave him insights into an area to which he otherwise would not have been exposed. It also changed some of his everyday behavior.

“I don’t want to come across as a hypocrite —I mean, I drive a truck,” Rumsey said. “But it’s just little things that you can change [in] your everyday behavior that I find myself doing—instead of throwing something in the trash, you put it in the recycling bin.”

He said the internship did not conflict with his role on the gridiron.

“As a member of the football team I wanted to be able to stay here over the summer and train and workout with the team,” Rumsey said. “So I was looking for something that would keep me in Durham.”

Jensen said Rumsey compiled the information from all the cities for the report.

“Matt called the cities and asked them what they are doing that’s really unique,” Jensen said.

He added that the Sierra Club is very appreciative of the work Rumsey did.

“It’s a really good testimony to the athletic program at Duke,” Jensen said. “It’s producing athletes that are doing great in the classroom, and I say this as a graduate of [the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill], who hates Duke.”

UNC prof receives Nobel for genetics University of North Carolina

at Chapel Hill researcher Oliver

Smithies was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize for medicine Monday.

One of three to receive the honor, the 82-year-old Smithies and two colleagues—Mario Capecchi of the University of Utah and Martin Evans ofCardiff University in Wales—helped to develop genetargeting technology.

Using the technology, researchers can deactivate and modify genes in mice to study the ensuing effects. It has been used to study a number of human conditions, including cystic fibrosis and high blood pressure.

“My work was never toward getting the Nobel Prize,” Smithies, a professor of pathology and laboratory medicine who has worked at UNC since 1988, told The Associated Press. “It was solving a problem, and enjoying the solution.”

Though the researchers worked independendy, Smithies and Capecchi primarily developed the genemodifying technology to modify the

genes, and Evans identified the embryonic stem cells that Smithies and Capecchi worked on.

In 2001, Smithies was also awarded the Albert Lasker Award for his gene-targeting technology.

“Oliver Smithies’ innovations have revolutionized genetic research and advanced the effective treatment of many diseases, and millions of people worldwide have better and longer lives because of the talent and determination he has brought to his work,” UNC Chancellor James Moeser wrote in a statement. “For decades, he has embodied the very best ofacademic research and humanity through his modesty, good humor, creativity and love ofinvention.”

Thousands of walrus have appeared on Alaska's northwest coast in what conservationists are calling a dramatic consequence of global warming melting the Arctic sea ice.

Alaska's walrus, especially breeding females, in summer and fall are usually found on the Arctic ice pack. But the lowest summer ice cap on record put sea ice far north of the outer continental shelf, the shallow, liferich shelf of ocean bottom in the Bering and Chukchi seas.

According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder, September sea ice was 39 percent below the long-term average from 1979 to 2000.

Known as the"Heart Prevails"act,the new state law establishes the heart symbol as legal consent for organ donation.

North Carolina drivers can get the symbol on their licenses by signing up as organ donors with the DMV, but until now, the symbol represented only the intent to donate and did not have any legally binding authority.

Say no to drugs—unless you’re learning science.

A team ofDuke researchers has demonstrated that the use of teaching modules, which use drug-related topics to teach biology and chemistry, improved high school students’ test scores by 16 percent. Data from 7,210 students across the nation showed that those who used one or more modules received higher scores on 20-question tests of basic scientific knowledge than those who did not use the modules.

The findings were published in the Sept.

28 issue of Science magazine.

“It’s stuff [students] learn in a dry context, but we put it in their context,” said Rochelle Schwartz-Bloom, head of the project and director of undergraduate studies in pharmacology.

“I call it ‘stealth learning.’ The kids are learning all this basic science without realizing it The Pharmacology Education Partnership—a collaboration between Duke faculty and high school instructors nationwide started by Schwartz-Bloom—developed six different learning modules, such as “Steroids and Athletes” and “Acids, Bases and Cocaine Addicts,” that incorporate subjects from drug pharmacology.

The modules were presented in workshops at the National Science Teachers Association conference and the North Carolina Science Teachers Association conference in 2003 and taught in classrooms a year later, Schwartz-Bloom said.

“We controlled for demographics like sex, race, grade and also for potential differences between teachers,” said Jerome Reiter, a co-author of the Science article and assistant professor of statistical science.

He said even after controlling for other factors, the data showed increases in student scores with each module used, and because testing was unannounced, scores reflected knowledge learned in the classroom, not the amount students studied. ”

HEATHER GUO/THE CHRONICLE

Professors have found that science students respond well to examples that incorporate drug references.

Schwartz-Bloom said the research is

particularly important considering the decreasing number of American students interested in science. She said the modules would be a great resource for getting kids back into science if the idea spreads to more teachers across the nation.

Currently, the modules have also been used in distance-learning programs, and a similar program is available online, Schwartz-Bloom added.

“I think we hit on an idea that is destined to succeed as long as people use it,” she said, adding that the number ofhits for the program’s Web site has spiked since the publication of the Science article.

Although the study only looked at high school students, both Schwartz-Bloom and

Reiter said the principles can be applied to collegiate learning as well.

“When I teach statistics, I try to find interesting examples that provide motivation to learn the underlying stats and math,” Reiter said. “It’s the general idea of taking particular real-world questions and trying to answer them, showing students they need to learn the methodology.”

Eric Toone, a professor of chemistry who currently teaches Accelerated General Chemistry, said he has already begun incorporating such principles into his class. His course takes a new approach by teaching chemistry in terms of the cell-cycle and cancerous cells.

While Duke has not hosted a speaker as infamous as Ahmadinejad in recent years, a conference held on campus by the Palestine Solidarity Movement stirred up a great deal of controversy in Fall 2004.

“Sometimes it’s good to be challenged out of your complacency. A university is a place where those ideas ought to be debated.”

Kuniholm said the process of getting individuals to come speak on campus has multiple steps. Speakers need to be contacted and generally require a fee, which is often split between multiple groups in order to fund the event.

Duke University Union President Katelyn Donnelly, a senior, said even if student organizations are able to raise enough money to attract a well-known speaker, the ideal location for the event is often hard to find.

“For speakers, it is particularly important to find the correct venue that showcases their speaking ability,” she said.

Ahmadinejad was in New York City to make a speech at the United Nations, and would not have appeared at Columbia had he not been there already.

Even if a controversial speaker were to come to Duke, Kuniholm said the speech would have to create an open dialogue among students and faculty—not just express a single ideology.

“If [the speaker is] going to challenge our students, then we want our students to be able to challenge him,” he said.

the message when they have to pay the money.”

Emery did not return a call requesting comment The complaint, which calls the case for which the three seek damages “one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial and scientific misconduct in modem American history,” asks for a three-member, court-appointed committee to review and publicly hear complaints of police misconduct by Durham residents as well as the appointment ofan independent monitor who would have the ability to hire, fire and promote department officials, including the chief of police. The monitor would also oversee DPD policies, many of which the injunction wouldreform.

The Prayer for Relief calls for the establishment of “Remedial Training” for all current and new members of DPD and stipulates that all eyewitness identification procedures be videotaped and conform to General Order No. 4077, an order to standardize identification practices that was enacted by DPD in 2006.

Additionally, the injunction “enjoins the Durham Police Department from targeting students of Duke University for selective enforcement of the criminal laws and from refusing to protect the legal and constitutional rights of students ofDuke University.”

It would also prevent DSI and Dr. Brian Meehan, the lab director ofDSI who testified about withholding exculpatory evidence, from providing testing reports or expert testimony in court proceedings for 10 years. DNA or testing reports requested byDPD or the districtattorney’s office would also have to include raw data in addition to the results.

Durham Public Affairs Director Beverly Thompson said in a statement that the city—which has 30 days to respond to the suit—was prepared to fight the claims against its employees. It will not, however, defend DSI, an independent company, or Nifong, who held state office.

“We understand the complaint assesses claims against the city and its employees that appear to be based on untested and unproven legal theories,” she said. “In light of that, the City Council has directed legal counsel to vigorously defend the city and city employees in court against this lawsuit” David Graham and Wmjia Zhang contributed to this story.

ROBBERY from page 1 Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said the robbery hits home for the many students who frequent Whole Foods, a popular grocery store that specializes in selling healthy and locally grown food products.

“Maybe [students aren’t there] at three in the morning, but the parking lot at Whole Foods is a place where many of us find ourselves at often,” she said.

Aaron Graves, associate vice president for campus safety and security, said the incident was likely a “crime of opportunity”—an isolated event that is unconnected to other robberies.

“When you are out at 3:30 in the morning, people trying to make a crime see this as an opportunity,” he said.

Wasiolek said she has heard reports that the three students are shaken up by the experience but are grateful they were not injured.

“They are certainly unnerved by the situation, as anyone would be,” she said. “But [they are] glad that they’re not harmed. It’s just frightening.”

Moneta said he hopes Student Affairs will keep in touch with the students involved in the incident as he understands that being a victim of armed robbery' can cause “psychological damage.”

that we teach lots of concepts, but we never put them in contexts that students understand,” Toone said. “Students never make the connection that chemistry helps you think about things that matter. A lot ofmy students are pre-meds, so I tried to pick a problem they will care about. I think it’s working.”

Some students taking chemistry and biology at Duke, however, said they were unsure whether drug-related examples would really help them in the classroom, but agreed that relevant topics were key.

“Depending on the audience, it could work,” said freshman Carol Cheng, who is studying organic chemistry. “For people who have experience or exposure about a certain topic, it could be very effective.”

thousands of people have been arrested.

The brutal crackdown ignited outrage around the globe, and international demands have grown for the junta to release the 62-year-old Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace laureate who has been under house arrest for 12 of the past 18 years without trial.

The government said last week that the junta’s leader, Senior Gen.Than Shwe, was willing to meet personally with Suu Kyi if she met its conditions. Than Shwe has met with Suu Kyi only once, in 2002, and the talks quickly broke down.

Although it named a liaison official to deal with Suu Kyi, the junta did not indicate when he might meet with her.

The appointment of Aung Kyi, a retired major general, appeared to be a nod to the United Nations. The world body’s special

envoy, Ibrahim Gambari, suggested creating the Cabinet-level job during his visit to Myanmar last week, state media said.

The U.S. mission to the United Nations circulated a draft statement late Tuesday that would have the Security Council strongly deplore “the violent repression by the government of Myanmar of peaceful demonstrations, including the use offorce against religious figures and institutions.”

The statement also urges the junta to stop all “repressive measures,” including the detention of protesters, and open a dialogue with the various political and ethnic groups.

Western nations are trying to find a consensus position acceptable to China and Russia, which have blocked previous resolutions on the grounds thatMyanmar’s political unrest is an internal matter and not a threat to security in its region.

TORTURE from page 2 “It will shatter all trust in the American justice system,” Gnijdic said, charging that the United States expects every other nation to act responsibly, but refuses to take responsibility for its own actions.

“That is a disaster,” Gnijdic said.

El-Masri’s claims, which prompted strong international criticism of the rendition program, were backed by European investigations and U.S. news reports. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that U.S. officials acknowledged that el-Masri’s detention was a mistake.

The U.S. government has neither confirmed nor denied el-Masri’s account and, in urging the court not to hear the case, said that the facts central to el-Masri’s

THE CHRONICLE

claims “concern the highly classified methods and means of the program.”

El-Masri’s case centers on the ClA’s “extraordinary rendition” program, in which terrorism suspects are captured and taken to foreign countries for interrogation. Human rights activists have objected to the program.

President Bush has repeatedly defended the policies in the war on terror, saying as recently as last week that the U.S. does not engage in torture.

El-Masri’s lawsuit had been seen as a test of the administration’s legal strategy to invoke the doctrine of state secrets and stop national security suits before any evidence is presented in private to a judge.

Another lawsuit over the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, also dismissed by a federal court on state

grounds, still is pending before the justices.

Conservative legal scholar Douglas Kmiec said the Bush White House uses the doctrine too broadly. “The notion that state secrets can’t be preserved by a judge who has taken an oath to protect the Constitution, that a judge cannot examine the strength of the claim is too troubling to be accepted,” said Kmiec, a law professor at Pepperdine University.

The court has not examined the state secrets privilege in more than 50 years.

A coalition of groups favoring greater openness in government says the Bush administration has used the state secrets privilege much more often than its predecessors.

At the height of Cold War tensions between the United States and the former secrets

Soviet Union, U.S. presidents used the state secrets privilege six times from 1953 to

1976, according

to

OpenTheGovem-

ment.org. Since 2001, it has been used 39 times, enabling the government to unilaterally withhold documents from the court system, the group said.

The state secrets privilege arose from a 1953 Supreme Court ruling that allowed the executive branch to keep secret, even from the court, details about a military plane’s fatal crash.

Three widows sued to get the accident report after their husbands died aboard a B-29 bomber, but the Air Force refused to release it claiming that the plane was on a secret mission to test new equipment. The high court accepted the argument, but when the report was released decades later there was nothing in it about a secret mission or equipment.

take titles The Blue Devils’ streak ofnine straight wins at the Tar Heel Invitational was snapped last year.

But Duke came back with a bang in

2007.

The Blue Devils carded a three-day total of 877 this weekend at Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, defeating secondplace Tennessee by two strokes.

After scoring a 303 Friday —which put Duke in ninth place —the team battled back with a 287 Saturday to climb back to second place.

The Volunteers entered Sunday with a three-stroke lead over the Blue Devils.

That edge was up to nine by the time Duke made the turn—but the Blue Devils fired five-under-par on the back nine to overtake Tennessee.

Junior Amanda Blumenhurst led the comeback, shooting three-under-par on the back nine. The two-time National Player of the Year shot seven-under-par for the tournament to win the individual title, beating out Georgia’s Alina Lee by three strokes. Vanderbilt’s Jackqui Concolino finished third with a 214.

Blumenhurst became the ninth different Blue Devil to win the Tar Heel Invitational. She now has nine tournament victories in her Duke career, putting her three shy of Duke’s all-time record, held

by Mary Anne Widman.

One more play.

Duke players and head coach Ted Roof echoed that one line over and over again following yet another disappointing CJ3HIG loss Saturday. But the analysis repetition is starting to get old “We’re a lot better team than we were last season, but at the same time, we have just one win to show for it,” Roof said. “They made one more play than we did, and I’m getting tired of saying it.”

Missed opportunities and the inability to stop Wake Forest (3-2, 2-1 in the ACC) at critical moments —especially in the fourth quarter —proved fatal for Duke, as the Blue Devils (1-5, 0-3) fell 41-36 despite a furious 20-point rally late in the game.

Sophomore Thaddeus Lewis, who threw two interceptions in the third quarter, suddenly got back on track at the end of the period, striking with 16 ticks left after a 10play, 36-yard drive. With that touchdown, Lewis began a run of three straight scoring drives to put his team within five.

With 2:51 left in the fourth, however, Lewis—who went 21-for-47 for 291 yards

and four touchdowns on the afternoon and the Duke offense froze, going fourand-out on an 18-second possession that started and ended on the Wake Forest 47.

To make matters worse, the Demon Deacon’s offense was fueled by their defense’s crucial stop. On the proceeding play, wideout Kenny Moore went in motion from left to right, took the handoff from quarterback Riley Skinner and scampered down the right sideline untouched for a 53-yard touchdown to go up 41-29. The Blue Devil safeties failed to adjust on the shift.

“It was kind oflike the wind was let out of the sails,” senior safety Chris Davis said of the play. “We were let down a little bit because we were so close.”

Duke had one last breath of life, though, when Lewis connected with freshman Austin Kelly with 1:04 left in the game to pull within five again.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Blue Devils had to go for an onside kick in order to regain possession and give Lewis and the offense one more shot at the end zone.

With Joe Surgan lined up to the right and Greg Meyers on the left, Duke had two options for the direction to which it could kick. The right side looked open, so Meyers kicked the ball—42 yards to —

With the 4-2 win, the secondranked Terrapins (13-0, 3-0 in the ACC) set a school record for most consecutive wins and snapped the No. 12 Blue Devils’ three-game winning streak. Maryland, the defending national champion, outshot Duke 17-8 and had a 9-2 edge in penalty comers.

sophomore Amie Survilla scored her fourth goal of the year less than six minutes into the game. Duke held the lead for much of the first half, but the Terrapins struck with less than five minutes remaining. Katie O’Donnell fed Nicole Muracco on a two-on-one breakaway, and Muracco fired the ball past Blue Devil goaltender Caitlin Williams to tie the game.

O’Donnell recorded another assist early in the second half, setting up Janneke van Leeuwen as Maryland surged to a 2-1 advantage.

Survilla scoredher second goal ofthe game at the 51:43 mark to tie the game for the Blue Devils. But O’Donnell put one in the back of the net less than a minute later to put Maryland back in front, and Ellen Ott scored on a penalty comer to seal the game for the Terrapins.

THE CHRONICLE

10,2007

FOOTBALL from page 11 the Wake Forest 28 “We read that the deep guy was up so we just tried to kick it over his head and he made a good play on the ball,” said Davis, who was on the field for that play. “If he fumbles that ball as he’s falling, we get that ball back.”

As the football soared deep into Wake Forest territory, the Blue Devils seemed as in over-their-heads as the ball was over those of the Demon Decons special teams unit. Another game was kicked away.

Coming up a play short seems to be an underlying theme in the story of Duke football this season, from throwing a crucial interception late against Navy to coming up short on a fourth down conversion at Miami to the missed chances against the defending ACC champions this weekend. For the Blue Devils, as they dropped yet another heartbreaker to Wake Forest, the SARA GUERRERO/THE CHRONICLE Wake. repeated storyline is getting tired and taking its toll.

Blue Devils tie for first in Duke Classic by

Gabe Starosta THE CHRONICLE

Despite surging back from a five-stroke deficit Monday, the Blue Devils only came away with a frustrating tie in the Duke Classic.

Duke scored 22-under-par, sharing the title with Tennessee-Chattanooga at the Duke University Golf Club.

“I don’t think we played our best this week,” senior Michael Schachner said. “I don’t even know if you call this a win. I don’t really get why people don’t have a playoff, and I would have liked to win this one instead of tie.”

Entering the 18th hole, Schachner believed he and the Blue Devils were still in position to win outright.

When the Blue Devil senior and the Mocs’ Jonathan Hodge reached the final green together, Schachner faced a 25-foot putt while Hodge had a short six-footer to put the pressure on the Blue Devils. Hodge missed his attempt, and Schachner two-putted for an apparent victory. But when the teams’ cards were officially counted at the end of the round, a two-stroke penalty assessed by the rules official to Duke’s Matthew Pierce on the eighth hole gave the team a share of the title instead of an outright win. “[Head coach O.D. Vincent] told me that if his math was right, we were up one, so I figured that if [Hodge] made it and I two-putted we’d be up one, so I gave it a good run,” Schachner said.

Schachner’s performance on the 18th capped a day in which the Blue Devils had come back from a five-stroke deficit before the turn. Duke, led by Schachner, sophomore Adam Long andjunior ClarkKlaasen —who fired a team-best 67 Monday —rallied to take a three-shot lead after 14. The Blue Devils played holes nine through 14 at an impressive 16under-par in the third and final round of the tournament.

“We turned at minus-1 today, so playing the back nine as well as we did was phenomenal,” Vincent said. “We played holes No. 12 through 15 very well and that was nice to see.”

Individually, Chattanooga’s Hodge won the tournament with a 12-under 204. Duke was well-represented on the individual leaderboard, though, as Long finished third, Schachner fourth and Klaasen in a tie for 11th.

Long carded a 70 in the final round.

The sophomore was l-under on the front nine and was set on scoring similarly on the back to take a shot at the top of the leaderboard.

“All of a sudden, I made birdies on 11, 12 and 14 so now I’m exceeding expectations,” Long said. “My goal this weekend was to have a chance to win the tournament with nine holes left and I did, so I can’t be too disappointed.”

The Blue Devils return to the links Oct. 27 when they travel to Greensboro, Ga. for the GCAA Collegiate Match Play Championship.

no isolated case. The actions of the defendants named in this suit may be representative of more systematic problems in local law enforcement—making the need for reform all the more pressing.

It is fortunate, therefore, that the players have committed their powerful legal resources not just to personal compensation but to effecting change in Durham’s criminal justice proceedings.

If the plaintiffs requests for change are heeded, Durham residents and Duke students alike can look forward to a more just legal system. The lacrosse players’ suffering will not have been for nothing if the lessons learned prevent similar mishandling of cases in the future.

The changes the 155-page

complaint proposes, furthermore, are for the most part well-reasoned. The call for a

committee to review police misconduct complaints is a worthy and necessary idea. A standardized process of eyewitness identification is long overdue, and the proposed videotaping of identification procedures could help enforce it. The creation of an “independent monitor” with broad hiring and firing power over the police department needs further thought, but the other ideas are key steps Durham can take to avoid future abuses.

We therefore hope that the parties involved keep this ultimate objective—avoiding future abuses—in mind as the lawsuit proceeds. The proposed reforms will un-

Furthermore, by calling the case “one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial and scientific misconduct in modem American history,” the lawsuit risks further politicizing the case and undermining the sympathy of Durham residents for their well-justified calls for reform.

The lacrosse players are not the only victims ofrogue prosecutors or overzealous police detectives in Durham.

If their suit succeeds, however, they may be the last.

Durham calling For

the first time ever, I stayed in Durham over a break from classes. To my surprise, Durham does not shrivel up and die without Duke students.

In fact, theoft-heard student refrain that “there’s nothing to do in Durham” has never proven less true. Between the World Beer Festival’s absurd numdr* ber ofbeers (which must be seen to be believed), Sad’s 35-cent wing night, Broad Street Cafe’s bohemian everson attractions and one fine morning Southpoint’s usual excellence, the problem with Durham is no longer that there isn’t enough to do but that there’s too much.

Durham is a beast on its own. As much as we Duke students would like to pretend that our business is essential to the bars, restaurants and shops around here, no one—except maybe Shooters—really caters directly to us on a regular basis.

In this aspect, Durham contrasts directly with Chapel Hill. Whereas we have Brightleaf Square, the American Tobacco District, Ninth Street and Southpoint, Chapel Hill has Franklin Street. And Franklin Street is undeniably for the students.

The one time I went out last weekend, I went to Chapel Hill. It is, and it feels like, a college town.

Even late into the morning hours, several bars and restaurants were packed with students.

Why doesn’t Durham feel like a college town? Well, we of course are a smaller fish: UNC is about two and a half times the size of Duke. And we are also swimming in a bigger pond: Durham has four times the population of Chapel Hill.

But I suspect that the geography of our campus also detracts a great deal from our college-town potential. If an outside observer were dropped onto West Campus by helicopter he would think Duke was a rural school, not in the middle of a city with more than 200,000 residents.

And because Durham is its own entity independent from Duke in away Chapel Hill is not, there will inevitably be town-and-gown friction. Duke and Durham are simply too different to get along without tension, although **

that doesn’t mean we can’t lighten that tension as much as possible.

So no, Durham is not and will never be a college town like Chapel Hill. I’m not convinced that’s a bad thing.

Chapel Hill looks an awful lot like Ann Arbor, Mich., to me. Okay, so Ann Arbor has two main streets instead of one, and they root for football up there instead of basketball, but the similarities vastly outweigh the differences. They have the same beer specials, same typical college-town restaurants, same fraternity houses and same at-

mosphere.

Durham at least offers some unique attractions, and it’s our own fault if we don’t take advantage of them. Between the Durham Bulls, Beer Fest (did I mention how awesome this was?) and a variety of lively hangouts, Durham has a little of everything.

The relatively new bus from West Campus to Brightleaf Square is a solid start in the right direction. It makes getting out of Duke’s cloistered campus a little bit easier, and it can help us maintain contact with some form of the outside world while at Duke.

There are a few things the administration could do to help integrate Duke and Durham.

They should work to allow food points to be used in restaurants around Durham, allow students to live off campus earlier and (the big one) keep working to ensure the safety of their students in Durham.

Still, the onus is on us to get out more. The liberal education most of us receive at Duke completely lacks a practical component. We receive a great deal of theoretical education but very little experiential education.

The difference between the two is hard to explain. It is the difference between reading about war and being in war. It is the difference between hearing that there were 150 breweries at Beer Fest and actually seeing them in all their

magnificence.

It is essential that we, as students, integrate the theoretical and the experiential and truly embrace Durham for all of its flaws. The one thing that makes Chapel Hill more fun than Durham is the sheer number of our peers who are out virtually everywhere you go.

The whole wide world is waiting out there.

Don’t be afraid to leave campus.

How the West was lost

It’s

easy enough to split the vast western portion of the United States into two subregions and politically stereotype them. Thus, we have the so-called Left Coast, with San Francisco, Seatde and other tree-hugging, latte-sipping, minimal-hygiene meccas. We also have the Mountain West, as red as the coast is blue. But this Blue Coast-Red Mountains construct is not only lacking in complexity, it’s becoming increasingly outdated as well.

Although it seems to have passed unnoticed in the rest of the country, the gill StGVenS West is turning purple as , droite t moj Democrats more suited to 1 Big Sky than Beacon Hill have increasingly stood for office and won.

Montana exemplifies this trend. Despite its conservative reputation—and there is no doubt that this is still well-deserved the state now has two Democratic senators. The state’s governor, Brian Schweitzer, perfectly exemplifies the new Democrats of the West He has successfully blended economic populism with social conservatism; he’s proudly proclaimed that he owns “more guns than I need but not as many as I want.”

Although speculation about him as a potential vicepresidential pick in 2008 seems unfounded, Schweitzer, or someone like him, will likely be the face of the Democratic Party in the near future. In fact, the nearest thing the party has thisyear, NewMexico Gov. Bill Richardson, is frequendy suggested as Hillary Clinton’s running mate.

Of course, embracing Democrats means rejecting Republicans, and the reasons for that shift are less evident than the shift itself.

Some suggest that an exodus ofCalifornians to the Mountain West is to blame. Although this may be true in some places—Sun City, Idaho, is an oft-cited example—the migration hasn’tbeen sufficiendy significant to explain the present state ofaffairs. Anyway, a Bay Area techie in favor of gun control does not become a gun nut simply by moving to Montana.

Others claim that Republicans’ increasing emphasis on morality, abandoning their strongly libertarian tradition (whose father, Barry Goldwater, was himself from Arizona), has driven independent-minded mountain dwellers into the arms of local Democrats. If such disaffection was the underlying cause, it’d be reasonable to see Mountain West states supporting Democratic candidates in presidential elections. Rather, much of the Mountain West has consistently supported Republican candidates—since 1996, only New Mexico (twice), Arizona (once) and Nevada (once) have backed Democrats.

In parts of the region, however, some traditional Republicans (excluding libertarians) are turning away from the party. The Economist recendy noted that in places, hunters and other sportsmen have found common cause with environmental activists, a stalwart Democratic constituency. This unlikely union is the result of Republican policies favoring the energy industry, threatening to deprive sportsmen of their beloved hunting grounds and environmentalists of their dearly-hugged trees.

So what’s purpling the majestic mountains? Local Democrats themselves are turning purple. The transformation that the Democratic Party underwent in the ’6os and ’7os—first with Lyndon Johnson’s courageous embrace of civil rights and then with the party’s radicalization, culminating in the presidential nomination of George (“Amnesty, Abortion and Acid”) McGovern—meant that in presidential elections, its presidential candidates were uncompetitive in vast swathes of the country including the West.

It was only when Mountain Democrats distanced themselves from their national party that they found success. In reversing their fortunes, politicians like Schweitzer didn’t have to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they simply looked back to their party’s halcyon days under Franklin D. Roosevelt and followed his lead; economic populism and social moderation (if not conservatism). It’s a recipe that most national Democrats have thus far found indigestible.

This gap between local success and national failure means that the GOP hasn’t lost the region just yet. But it does suggest that, in the near future, the party may have to critically reexamine itself and what it stands for if it wants to recapture the Rockies.

letterstotheeditor Coleman, Kasibhatla criticism puzzling It puzzles us that professors James Coleman and Prasad Kasibhatla used the occasion of criticism directed toward President Richard Brodhead’s apology to condemn our work on the lacrosse case—since the only one of us to comment publicly on the remarks (KC Johnson) praised the president for “a powerful and emotional address, one that touched on several important points in an impressive fashion.”

It equally puzzles us that the duo attacked our characterization of the Coleman Committee report. One or both of us have given similar characterizations of the report, in print, no fewer than 23 times since May 2, 2006. Never did Professor Coleman (with whom we have spoken or e-mailed on multiple occasions) challenge our description, much less in the harsh tone employed in the Chronicle letter. Since our book directly quotes from the report’s section dealing with the lacrosse players’ alcohol-related arrests, it seems peculiar to suggest we overlooked this point.

And while we are not surprised to receive criticism from defenders of the academic status quo, it seems unusual to portray a book with more than 1,000 sourcenotes as based on a “tragic rush to judgment” regarding faculty activists’ behavior. Professors Coleman and Kasibhatla presented no specific evidence to support their claim, but we share their commitment that all facts, positive and negative, be revealed. Therefore, we invite them to join us in calling for a comprehensive review, modeled on the Coleman Committee’s balanced and commendable investigation of the lacrosse team, of the faculty’s response to the lacrosse case.

KC Johnson Co-author, “Until Proven Innocent “Durham-in-Wonderland” blog

”

Stuart Taylor Co-author, “Until Proven Innocent” For alums, inaction ofprofs and admins frustrating I have appreciated Professor James Coleman’s efforts throughout the lacrosse case to focus attention

on the procedural and ethical violations committed by the Durham district attorney and police, all of which raised the question of whether the state was playing fairly with the lacrosse team.

Unfortunately, there were few other voices of Duke professors that publicly expressed these concerns. On the other hand there were numerous surprising and disappointing statements made by Duke professors and instructors in letters to and articles in local papers and in their own publications. The University’s administration did nothing to counter the impression that these statements were representative of the school itself.

The outrageous statements by professors often did not even seem to trigger any public criticism from fellow professors. There was, however, repeated complaints from professors and the Duke administration that “outsiders” and “bloggers” were unfairly sending them hate mail. If the administration saw fit to defend the professors from hateful anonymous e-mails one would assume it would also speak out against slanderous letters signed by Duke professors about the lacrosse team in public venues.

The actions of these outspoken professors (with the noted exception of Professor Coleman) and the inaction of most professors is tire direct cause of the perception that Duke professors are uncaring toward their students. It will be the responsibility of the entire Duke community to correct this misperception. Duke alums do not rely on bloggers to tell us how to react to “complex events” (as Professor Coleman termed them).

My frustration and disappointment with the performance of many professors and the school’s administration simply has nothing to do with a blog. Please remember that even former Duke basketball player and current ESPN analyst Jay Bilas recendy penned a letter expressing passionate dissatisfaction with the school’s administration.

Is Professor Coleman disappointed with Bilas’ criticism of the Duke administration? I am beginning to wonder if Duke’s professors view the school’s alums as “outsiders,” which is ironic considering the fact that many of us alums will love Duke long after those professors have moved on.

The awful responsibility of Time FLORENCE If I’ve learned anything from Italians since I’ve been in Florence, it’s the importance of living life slowly and savoring every moment without a thought of the next —whether that means eating, walking or even shopping at a slower pace. It’s refreshing that I’ve rarely found myself in a hurry during the past six weeks. is ever Nothing rushed here—even when it should be—and time seems to drift by without deliberation. Hours fade away around the dinner table without notice and victoria ward long walks leading noparii italiano? where are certainly the most

gratifying.

But when I’m in the Duke bubble—where everything happens in that NewYork minute—it almost feels wrong when I’m not rushing somewhere to finish something or dashing across West Campus to make a meeting. Each hour of my day disappears, quickly and without consideration of how I’m spending the rest.

Here, surrounded by the hillsides of Tuscany, my to-do lists go unchecked and I seem to have the time and patience for the 30-minute walk from my apartment to campus, studying each face I pass and memorizing each store front, knowing that my days here are numbered, dwindling week by week.

Somehow, despite my natural tendency to be in a perpetual hurry, I’m learning to slow down, even if it requires a conscious effort.

For Italians, the real art of living slowly is grounded in la cucina italiana. Food is not a means to an end, but rather a pleasure to be savored. Meals are events—ceremonies that last for hours—and every spoonful of gelato, slice ofmelon or delicate sliver of prosciutto must be appreciated.

After being here for even just a week, you can’t help but long for this lifestyle. And if you’re lucky, you’ll meet the right people to facilitate it—restaurant owners.

Last week, my friend’s Roman-bom, New York-transplant

mother who happens to be a travel agent took a group of us out to dinnerand introduced us to one of these people: Paolo, a native Florentine with generations of family in the city, and naturally a leatherfactory and shop to go along with this heritage—and a stake in one of the best restaurants in the city.

Paolo ensured that we had an unhurried three-hour long dinner, beginning with botdes of the restaurant’s own wine, punctuated by an array of antipasti, melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi and delectable chocolate deserts, followed, of course, by a crisp limoncello. When Paolo unexpectedly picked up the check for the entire meal, it became clear that one of the keys to conquering Florence (a city once entirely dominated by only a few powerful families) is who you know.

Although this could be said of many places, I don’t think Pauly ensures a quicker hot dog, even for regulars, when there’s a 20-person line at rush hour and Rio certainly doesn’t hurry up your daily Triple Club when you’ve got to catch a bus to East.

But here thoseconnections will not only get you a prime table during peak hours, but perhaps even prosecco on the house or a surprise desertmade especially for you by the chef when the rest of the menu’s dolci are finiio. Just like that, your standard Friday night dinner out can turn into an affair lasting past Midnight And somehow, I don’t consider these hours spent lingering around the table to be lost Instead, they are all a part of my Italian education—the art of living well and living slowly.

In one of my favorite novels, “All the King’s Men,” Robert Penn Warren’s characters are burdened by the “awful responsibility of Time”—a concept that would be foreign to Florentines, who fervently honor their history, constantly strive toward the future, but live fully in the present. They are not haunted by their past —even its darkest moments—but instead they take time to enjoy every fleeting second, fitting each one neatly with the rest.

While I’m beginning torealize how important itis to take things slowly, I can’t help but consider that my days here are few—thatdespite everything, I still face the “awful responsibility ofTime.”
