A student reported being robbed Sunday afternoon just off-campus close to the intersection of Erwin Road and Morreene Road.

The student was assaulted at approximately 2 p.m., when an unidentified male reportedly jumped on the student’s back and indicated that he had a weapon in his pocket, after which he took money from the student and fled the scene, according to an alert sent to the Duke community.

The.student described the attacker as a short, dark-skinned male around 15 years of age, weighing about 150 lbs. and wearing a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants.

The student, whose identity has not yet been released, was not physically harmed in any way, Dean ofStudents Sue Wasiolek said.

Three Duke students were also robbed Saturday around noon on Campus Walk Avenue, near the intersection of Erwin Road and LaSalle Street. The suspect reportedly indicated that he had a gun and then robbed the students and fled the scene.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski guided the United States'Olympic basketball team to a gold medal in Beijing Sunday night with its 118-107 win over Spain.

Krzyzewski coaches Team USA to Ist gold medal since 2000 Mike Krzyzewski has won plenty of hardware in his 28 seasons at Duke, including three national championships. Now he can add an Olympic gold medal to his already-shiny resume.

Team USA, dubbed the Redeem Team after the national team’s failure to win an international competition since 2000, survived its toughest test of the Olympics and edged Spain, 118-107, Sunday in Beijing.

Even if he didn’t score a single point,

Krzyzewski was at the center of the revival, from ridding the team of its perceived arrogance to instilling a sense of defensive discipline that proved lethal with its unstoppable offensive firepower.

And with the rise back to the top, the former Army point guard cemented a U.S. basketball legacy few, if any, can match.

A passenger jet carrying 90 people, including a Kyrgyz high school sports team, crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday near the Kyrgyz capital, killing 68, government officials said.

The Boeing 737 was headed to Iran when it crashed near Bishkek's Manas International Airport, said government spokeswoman Roza Daudova.Twenty-two people, including two crew members, survived the accident.

An airport official said the crew reported a technical problem about 10 minutes into the flight and that the plane was returning to the airport when it crashed.The official said she was not authorized to give her name.

Suicide bomber kills 25 in Baghdad ’

BAGHDAD A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday in the midst of a celebration to welcome home an Iraqi detainee released from U.S. custody, killing at least 25 people, Iraqi officials said.

The suicide attack occurred inside one of several tents set up outside a house in the Abu Ghraib area on Baghdad's western outskirts, according to residents and police.

The U.S. military, meanwhile, announced the arrest of an al-Qaida in Iraq figure who allegedly planned the 2006 kidnapping of American journalist Jill Carroll.

Below-average temps this winter

LEWISTON, Maine People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S. "Numb's the word," says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.

The almanac's 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colderthan-average temperatures this winter, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.

"This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people," said almanac editor Peter Geiger.

The almanac predicts above-normal snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest, especially during January and February, and above-normal precipitation for the Southwest in December and for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions will likely have an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said.

Angelou speaks to freshmen on service, virtues by '

have either eaten at the Marketplace, or I know one or two got sick from the Convocation lunch outside the Chapel.”

Wulforst said the cases he heard all complained of getting sick Wednesday night, after they had eaten the chicken wrap with mayonnaise at the Convocation luncheon earlier that day.

“Anything that was associated with the picnic we did a check-up on,” Wulforst said. “The food was stored in a refrigerated truck up until 45 minutes before the picnic. At most, the temperature of the sandwiches might have gone up a couple of degrees. Nothing that relates to the picnic has been identified as an issue.”

He added, however, that Alpine Bagels—which catered the Convocation luncheon—does not put condiments like mayonnaise in their food. Out of the 25,000 meals served at orientation events, only six cases of illness have been reported to him, Wulforst said.

Freshmen nervously anticipating their first day of classes were urged to show courage and challenged to change the world by Maya Angelou, an influentialleader who gave her 16th annual address at Duke Sunday afternoon.

Angelou, an author, poet, historian, songwriter, playwright, singer, and dancer, addressed Duke’s newest freshman class yesterday in the Chapel. She welcomed students to college, encouraged them to fight prejudice and make a positive contribution to society and emphasized the value of courage throughout.

In her address, which she embellished with spiritual songs, poetry and personal anecdotes, Angelou told students that courage was the most important virtue. Without courage, a person cannot practice all of the other virtues consistently, she said.

“I look at you young men and women as rainbows in the clouds,” Angelou said. “You have the courage to light the path for someone else who might not look like you... [or] who might speak another language.”

At 80 years old, Angelou has received numerous awards and degrees and is known for her active role in the Civil Rights Movement.

Displaying her activist spirit, Angelou told students that she was embarrassed to leave them with a world “so

Wave of food illness hits East by

THE CHRONICLE

At least 13 individuals may have contracted food poisoning from eating at orientation week events and the Marketplace, administrators and students said.

Approximately five residents of Giles Dormitory reported feeling ill and one student was hospitalized. Two residents of Southgate Dormitory also were taken to the emergency room at Duke University Medical Center to be treated Saturday night.

Six more individuals—including both students and parents—also reported getting sick, Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said. He added that he did not find the number of sick students to be a noteworthy aberration.

Giles Resident Assistant Zach Chapla, a sophomore, said his residents have complained to him about feeling ill during orientation week.

“Over the past three days, I’ve had at least four to five people get sick, not from alcohol,” he said. “All of them

So much for sleep on a school night.

On the eve of FDOC, dozens of freshmen returned to East Campus with visions of foam and a mechanical bull dancing in their heads after disregarding their mothers’ better advice and preparing for the start of classes at Shooters 11.

“I’m not too worried about the first day ofclasses, and I don’t think my mom would be either,” freshman Lee Royster said from the foam. “As long as I got to class fully aware, she’s OK.” The antics are not suggested by any of the guidebooks,, but college towns around the nation have been booming in the first days of Fall. Because courses, books and roommates can be selected with the click of a mouse, some University administrators have observed that new students have little to do to ready themselves for college once their extra-long sheets are snug on their beds —and they are becoming oriented to the local bar scene with all their free time.

Brown University is among a crop ofinstitutions that have opted to slash the length of their welcome weeks from six days to three, and Michigan State University is another institution contemplating changes that pack each hour with programming and minimize the down time in which their students dabble with unsanctioned ice breakers.

Duke’s Associate Dean of Students Todd Adams said the University will not be adopting a fast-moving approach to freshman orientation anytime soon.

He noted that administrators have SEE ORIENTATION ON PAGE 9

Two Duke seniors are shaping the learning experiences of Durham youth “One Laptop per Child” at a time.

Last spring Alex Keybl and John Pena, with the help of the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, started a Duke chapter of the program One Laptop per Child which offers technolo-

Keybl and Pena have developed a pilot program to use 50 of the laptops in a fourth-grade classroom at CarterCommunity School.

This past Saturday, Dr. Wei Jiang, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, left on a trip to China—where she will provide volunteer psychiatric care : to earthquake survivors.

For two weeks, Jiang will lead a group of four researchers who will be the first medical team to provide international psychiatric care to survivors of the earthquake that struck China’s Sichuan province in May. The team will include Jian Chen, former presidentofDurham’s Chinese-American Friend-

The earthquake, which left 69,000 casualties, 17,000 missing, 375,000 injured and 5 million Chinese homeless, likely had a profound psychological impact on many Chinese citizens who are not receiving proper care, Jiang said.

Carolina conference worked to fight gangs Law enforcement officials across the last week in Durham to discuss the growing problem of gang-related violence in the region, ABC Eyewitness News reported Aug. 18.

The three-day, seventh annual Gangs Across the Carolinas Training Conference brought together 700 law enforcement personnel to collaborate on the best methods for gang prevention and enforcement.

Attendees said they appreciated the chance to gather and compare what works in various communities.

“Such networking lets us deal with the gang situation here so we can minimize it.

The elimination of the gang problem’s a community thing,” Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said at the conference, ABC reported.

The Governor’s Crime Commission Report estimates there are more than 550 different gangs across the state, with nearly 15,000 members.

“We have to make gangs as reprehensible as white supremacy groups, KKK, Skinheads, Nazis, and I put gangs on the state met

same plateau as them,” said Mark Bridgeman, coordinator of the conference and president of the North Carolina Gang Investigators Association, according to ABC. The conference follows a package of sweeping anti-gang measures passed by the North Carolina State Legislature in July. The North Carolina Street GangPrevention And Intervention Act mandates reviews into youth gang activity that incorporate intervention efforts.

“This new law helps make sure we target our resources to effectively cut down on the number of young people who are susceptible to getting involved with gangs,” Gov. Mike Easley said in a press release.

Over the next three years, funds from a |2.5 million Comprehensive AntiGang Initiative grant will be spread to Durham and Wake counties to combat and prevent gang-related crime. The Raleigh-Durham area is one of four new sites to receive funding from the grant this year.

But with an evening curriculum of section party-hopping and cage dancing, some freshmen struggled to beat the learning curve as Dukies by day.

Elbowing his way onto an elusive C-l, his bubble of personal space shattered but the infamous bull nowhere in sight, freshman Jason Palmatary found that the daily grind of life as a Duke student can pose special to

BOXUN from page 7 Meng realized he could expand it to include many contributors. He launched Boxun, from the Chinese words for “comprehensive” and “information,” in 2000.

“The example of Boxun shows that Internet has created opportunities for people to express themselves in China,” Meng’s panel posting reads. “It may create China’s path to democracy.”

Meng was unavailable for comment for this story; Susan Tifft, Trinity ’73 and Eugene C. Patterson professor of the practice of journalism and public policy studies, said the site’s contributions by citizen journalists are necessary in the context of the political climate.

“In China, you have active repression,” Tifft said. “It’s is a great outlet to be able to write about things that might otherwise not be covered.”

Still, she added that the site is the Internet equivalent of a “bulletin board,” prone to inaccuracy. Bloggers on Boxun often include their own opinions in stories.

“In the case of China, it’s not such a bad thing because of the repression,” Tifft said. “But you have to be really careful about where you’re getting your information.”

Posting on Boxun, however, does not free from political repercussions. Many contributors to the site who declined an ’anonymous byline have been jailed in China, according to Boxun postings.

“It’s really aggravated the [Chinese] government because it takes stuff outside and puts it on display internationally,” Bob Dietz, of the New York nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists, told The (Raleigh) News & Observer in May.

ANGELOU from page 1 rife with blood thirst, hatred [and] bigotry,” but said they had the chance to make changes and dispel ignorance.

“Somebody is going to help us resolve this problem with breast cancer,” she said. “Someone is going to help us find the solution to prostate cancer. Somebody is going to help us find away to be good neighbors in South America. So, I want to encourage you to see who you are and where you are, where you belong and who belongs to

you.”

To illustrate the possibility of accomplishing such seemingly daunting feats, Angelou drew parallels to her own life. When the United Nations was formed, Angelou, at 16, was uneducated, unmarried and pregnant. At the organization’s 50th anniversary, however, Angelou was asked to write a poem commemorating the occasion.

She urged students to take advantage of the opportunities offered to them at Duke in order to accomplish their goals, by visiting libraries and conversing with their professors.

“A good student can make a mediocre teacher great,” she said. “Go to a teacher, introduce yourselves. You are here with a passion, with a calling.”

Some freshmen said they were moved by Angelou’s address.

Freshman Tucker Howard said he was inspired by Angelou’s speech, as she addressed issues that were relevant to individuals and the student body as a whole.

“That was amazing,” he said. “Everything she was saying felt like it was just for me. Everything she said was just what I was hoping to get out ofDuke.”

Other students, however, said they disagreed with some aspects of Angelou’s speech, particularly her emphasis on courage.

“I think love is greater than courage,” freshman Wes ohnson said. “I think she was wrong on that. Love is sacificial. Courage is something that rises up in opportune imes. Love is everlasting, doesn’t change, never fails.”

BIDEN from page 1 was “what many others pretend to be—a statesman with soundjudgment who doesn’t have to hide behind bluster to keep America strong.”

Democrats coalesced quickly around the 47-year-old Obama’s selection of the veteran of three decades in the Senate—a choice meant to provide foreign policy heft to the party’s ticket for the fall campaign against McCain and the

Republicans.

Biden emerged as Obama’s choice after a secretive selection process that reviewed at least a half-dozen contenders—but evidently not Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former first lady who was Obama’s tenacious rival across the primaries and caucuses of winter and spring.

The Democratic National Convention will open in Denver Monday to nominate him as president and Biden as vice president, the ticket that Democrats hope to ride into the White House after eight years of Republican rule.

McCain’s convention opens on Labor Day. He has yet to Obama/Biden sprouted in the crowd that waited in anticiselect a running mate. pation in 90-degree temperatures.

Obama’s remarks were carefully crafted to emphasize Polls indicate a highly competitive race at the end of a summer in which McCain eroded what had been Obama’s Biden’s accomplishments in the Senate, his blue-collar roots and—above all—his exslender advantage in the national perience on foreign policy. surveys “He’s an expert on foreign Obama recounted the perto Obama’s the Responding pick, sonal tragedy that struck Biden McCain campaign wasted no time policy whose heart and valmore than 30 years ago, within trying to turn the selection to its own are rooted the in firmly ues days of his election to the Senpurposes. ate, when his first wife and their It quickly produced a television middle class.” child were killed in an automoad featuring Biden’s previous praise Sen.

Duke politicos evaluate Obama’s running mate by

Bipartisan bickering over the strengths and weaknesses of Sen.

Biden, D-Del.—presidential

hopeful Barack Obama’s veep selection—has trickled down from the national Democratic and Republican parties to their respective groups on campus.

Leaders of Duke’s studentrun political organizations are rehashing much of the same praise and backlash toward Obama’s selection dominating the national landscape, taking sides on topics ranging from

Biden’s more than 30 years of experience in the Capitol to his tone of speech.

Duke Democrats President Ben Bergmann, a sophomore, said Biden was a strong surrogate who will help draw more supporters to Obama’s already remarkable campaign.

He also touted Biden’s progressive conduct in Congress, adding that, like Obama, he has acted as an agent for change in the Senate, setting him apart from other politicians.

“I’m proud of [Biden’s] experience,” Bergmann said. “You

can be in Washington for years and not have it be worth a damn.

He’s not [presidential candidate] John McCain, just sitting there in Washington.”

Members of conservative student groups, however, said Biden's extended history in Washington was a liability, not an asset. They said Biden’s strengths parallel many of Obama’s weaknesses, and by selecting Biden as his running mate, Obama highlighted the criticisms of his own inexperience in the Senate and ,

U.S. sends aid to Georgia with eye on Russia

by David Rising THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ABOARD THE U.S.S. MCFAUL

A U.S. Navy de-

stroyer loaded with humanitarian aid reached Geor-

gia’s Black Sea port of Batumi Sunday, bringing baby food, bottled water and a message of support for an embattled ally.

Before the warship arrived, a Russian general suggested U.S. ships moving across the Black Sea would worsen tensions already driven to a post-Cold War high *

by a short but intense war between Russia and Georgia.

“The population of Georgia will feel more safe from today from the ‘Russian aggression,” Georgian Defense Minister David Kezerashvili told The Associated Press on the aft missile deck of the McFaul after greeting U.S. Navy officers in crisp white uniforms on shore.

“They will feel safe not because the destroyer is here but because they will feel they are not alone facing the Russian aggression,” he added.

ers.

In Europe, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he would convene a special meeting of European Union leaders over the crisis as Russia ignored Western accusations it has fallen short ofits commitment to withdraw forces from its smaller neighbor.

The war erupted Aug. 7 as Georgia-launched a massive artillery barrage targeting the Russian-backed separatist province of South Ossetia. Russian forces repelled the offensive and drove deep into Georgia, taking crucial positions across the small former Soviet republic.

Russia pulled the bulk of its troops and tanks out Friday under a cease-fire brokered by Sarkozy, but built up its forces in and around South Ossetia and Abkhazia, another separatist region. They also left other military posts at locations inside Georgia proper.

The U.S. and EU say both those moves violated Russia’s commitments.

NATO halted the operations of its vehicle for interaction with Russia, demanding a fuller withdrawal, and Moscow responded by freezing military contacts with the alliance—its Cold War foe whose eastward expansion has angered a resurgent Russia.

The guided missile cruiser USS McFaul, carrying about 55 tons of humanitarian aid, is the first of three American ships scheduled to arrive thisweek. It brought SEE GEORGIA ON PAGE 24

development,” Keybl explained.

The two have developed a pilot program that will utilize 50 of the laptops in a class offourth graders at Carter Community School near East Campus.

Their aim is to combine “constructionism” education techniques —a form of hands-on learning —and their own knowledge of software to enhance the educational experience of underprivileged students.

“We will be developing software specifically to help with the statewide exam the students will take at the end of their fourth grade year,” Pena added.

Members of OLPC at Duke will visit the students orf a weekly basis as part of their community outreach.

More than 90 percent of the students at Carter are on free or reduced price school meal programs and would not otherwise have had exposure to higher technology, Keybl said.

Although acquiring funding and organizing the program has taken a year, Keybl and Pena said they have rallied support in their organization, including from President Richard Brodhead, whom they met with over the summer to describe their program.

“It’s been great to see how much Durham has reached out to us students at Duke,” Pena said. "It’s a special feeling to feel welcomed by the community and like we are doing our part.”

Keybl said Durham Public Schools is interested in how the software OLPC at Duke is developing can improve technology education in Durham schools.

The local Durham Rotary Club has also expressed interest in providing funding for more XO laptops.

“We’ve created evaluations to gauge progress in academics as well as self-confidence and community pride,” Keybl said. “We hope to prove that these laptops can help in urban America, but if nothing else comes out, just working with these kids and enriching their education would be enough for us.”

EARTHQUAKE from page 5 of a physician-patient ratio.”

According to a proposal submitted by Jiang, the group has been informed that there are currently between 40,000 and 50,000 severely mentally ill.patients who have not received treatment. If such patients are not treated, their diseases can last for a lifetime, negatively affect health and decrease life expectancy.

On its mission trip, the team hopes to accomplish four goals: provide medical care —mainly psychiatric—to earthquake victims, train local physicians and volunteers caring for survivors, conduct a survey to comprehend the psychological impact of the disaster and determine the triggers for posttraumatic psychiatric problems for particular individuals.

Part of the project will be to see how receptive the Chinese citizens will be to foreigners providing mental health assistance, Jiang said. In a culture with a history of repressing emotions and stigmatizing psychological illnesses, disaster survivors may be more resistant to mental health care than their Western counterparts.

“I’m interested to see how the Chinese have come to express and accept their mental health states," Song said. “In the [United States], we all know people who see therapists, but in China it’s different. There’s a lot of social dynamics from how China was built up pre-Cultural Revolution times.”

As China has modernized—and Westernized—Jiang said both the people and the government have become more accepting of mental illnesses and better at coping with natural disasters in general. In both cases, the main problem lies within China’s limited infrastructure and resources, Jiang said.

“I think the Chinese government had done a marvelous job this time,” Jiang added, referring to how the government dealtwith the repercussions of the earthquake. "The rescue system is still pretty infantile, but at least the government voices that this needs to be refined and enhanced.”

Jiang said the group has essentially received a “green light” from top and local government officials to carry out the project, and has been pleased with the entire process of getting the project approved. The Chinese Embassy in the United States, the Ideal Chinese government of the Sichuan province and the Chinese Ministry of Health, as well as the local hospitals have all welcomed the group.

Part of the reason the Duke Medical team is so qualified for the task is that all of the members are native Chinese speakers, Jiang added.

“Because we all speak Chinese we feel we can communicate directly to patients’ hearts without going through an intepreter where things can be twisted in between,” Jiang said.

The group will first work at Sichuan University’s Huaxi Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in western China, and then train medical staff and volunteers in refugee camps.

In total, Jiang said the team will probably perform around 1,000-1,500 direct interventions. Treatment would include medicine, psychotherapy and social intervention. terms

RESPONSE from page 13 on foreign policy matters “It confirms the overarching narrative that has been discussed in the media—that Barack Obama saw a shortcoming in his own experience and qualification to be president and expects Biden to compensate for them,” said junior Vikram Srinivasan, chair of Duke College Republicans.

But other student Republicans said Biden isjust the person the Obama campaign needs to draw voters. Junior Natalie Figuereo, Duke College Republicans’ junior class representative, said she thought Biden will be able to appeal to the white working class—a voting bloc that Obama has struggled to win over, polls indicate.

“I really think it’s going to come down to the McCain pick [for his vice president],” Figuereo said. She added that she was nervous about how McCain’s bid for president would fare against the Obama-Biden ticket.

As Obama’s selection thrusts Biden into the national spotlight, criticisms previously levied at Biden for comments that some viewed as racially insensitive have resurfaced. While campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination in February 2007, Biden described Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” He apologized to Obama for

*PPS 1955.17/HST 1955.17 Human Trafficking: Past and Present Justadd&Hni 1,4:25-6:55,Peck Over the past decade, the problem of human trafficking has grown exponentially, challenging the capacities of governments, human rights groups, and border bureaucracies to address the problem, and leading to a spate of new legislation, both at home and abroad. In this course, we seek to redress the history deficit in contemporary policy formation and implementation by examining the long history of human trafficking to North America from the 17th century to the present. In so doing, we examine the historical roots of contemporary moral and policy dilemmas: should trafficked migrants be thought of as slaves? What has the role of race played in the creation and regulation of human traffic? Why are the forms and locations of human trafficking expanding today, more than a century after abolition? Along the way, students will also hone their research and writing skills. "

*PPS 134D.01 The Politics ofCivic Engagement MW, 10:05-11:20,Korstad This course explores ethical issues related to civic engagement by college students, their reasons for participating, the goals of the university in sponsoring their summer experiences, and the impact they had on the people and organizations they worked with. Students will read books and articles from different political perspectives on the value and appropriateness of civic

engagement.

PPS 1405.01 Women as Leaders WF, 10:05-11:20,Seidman This course will teach students to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing women in their quest to practice leadership in public life.

Students will understand the historical roots of our conceptions of leadership and the ways American women have worked with, around and on those ideas over the last two centuries *PPS 195.06 Communication & Public Policy WF, 1:15-2:30, Entman This course will acquaint students with theories about the nature, sources and effects of the mediated communication on politics and public policy. Empirical case studies will include media framing of foreign policy mishaps under Carter and Reagan; journalistic treatment of scandals and electoral campaigns involving both Bushes and both Clintons; media impacts on war and peace; roles of infotainment, movies, product commercials and TV entertainment in shaping political attitudes and policy; and political advertising.

The course will teach students how to formulate, research and evaluate their own theory-based hypotheses on the impacts of the media in the policy process.

PPS 1955.10/PPS 2645.10 Collective Action Development & Env W, 1:30-4:00,Pfaff Many have pushed for the inclusion of affected groups' representatives within decision making. From the US ERA to the World Bank, processes are changing.

The impact of this on outcomes, though, deserves evaluation. Are participatory decisions better? All of them? Even when technical detail is involved? And what does "participatory" mean? And whose definition of "better"?

We draw on many settings, most within developing countries. Water (both quantity and quality) issues provide many examples. Concepts of and behavior regarding equity are foci. The impact of providing scientific information to decision bodies is central. *PPS 264.15 Demography, Democracy in Africa TTH, 1:15-2:30, Smith With almost half its population (44 percent) under the age of fifteen, Africa constitutes a striking exception on a- globally "graying planet": in the United States and Europe, the "oldest-old "category (above 85 years) is henceforth the fastest growing segment of the population, while Asia and South America are aging much more rapidly than was historically the case for industrialized societies. Only sub-Saharan African has not even commenced its demographic transition.

This class will examine what could potentially be, as much as ethnicity or poverty, a major key for the understanding of contemporary Africa. Yet demographic studies on Africa have so far suffered from a disconnect with social sciences and, especially, public policy.

PPS 2645.11 Economics of Reparations TTH 4:25-6:55, Darity This course will explore the rationale for compensatory payment for a grievous injustice to a group that has been demarcated racially or ethnically. Special attention will be drawn to the case for and against reparations for African Americans, historical precedents for payment of reparations, and casino rights mechanisms as a form of reparations for native Americans in the USA. The economics content of the course will focus on procedures for calculating the magnitude of the reparations payments and the consequences of the payment for the relative income and wealth position of the payee and the recipient groups.

AFGHANISTAN from page 25 Herat province killed around 90 civilians, President Hamid Karzai’s office says. The U.S. said it was investigating.

Some 188 international soldiers have died in Afghanistan this year, including the 101 Americans, according to an Associated Press count. This year’s toll is easily on track to surpass the record 222 international troop deaths in

2007.

According

to Defense Department statistics released least 508 members of the U.S. military have died in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan as a result of the U.S. invasion ofAfghanistan in late 2001. Of those, the military reports 362 were killed by hostile action.

U.S. critics of the Afghan government are becoming increasingly vocal. Rep. Jim Marshall, a Georgia Democrat who is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said last week that Karzai’s government “is not nearly where it should be.”

“I’m not willing to have a long-term U.S. commitment, a substantial U.S. commitment to Afghanistan without seeing substantial reform and improvement in the government,” Marshall said on a visit to Kabul.

Karzai’s influence barely extends outside the capital.

The Interior Ministry is seen as uniformly corrupt, and opium poppy cultivation has soared in recent years.

McKiernan said that “there is a sense of real frustration with the government of President Karzai. People were expecting gains over time but they aren’t feeling much.”

Karzai admitted in an AP interview last week that Afghanistan still lacks a properly functioning government and that corruption is rampant. He said he will run for a second term next year in hopes of addressing those problems.

The president also blamed the rise in Afghan violence directly on Afghanistan’s and NATO’s neglect of the sanctuaries, training grounds and financial center of the Taliban —a clear reference to Pakistan.

The U.S. is believed to have launched several missile strikes into Pakistan’s tribal areas this year in an attempt to take out militant leaders. Missiles destroyed a suspected hide-out in South Waziristan, near the Afghan border, on Wednesday, killing at least five people.

Seth Jones, a RAND Corp. analyst who has studied Afghanistan for years, said Taliban militants have simply become better at war after seven years of practice against U.S. and NATO forces. Fighters, particularly militant commanders, are also using their sanctuary in Pakistan to devastating effect, he said.

“I think there’s got to be a strike on the leadership structure, including Mullah Omar, Siraj Haqqani, and (Gulbuddin) Hekmatyar,” who reside in Pakistan, said Jones. “As the insurgency has become more sophisticated, many of the senior leaders continue to exist, and they are one of the reasons the insurgency is getting better.

Marshall, the Democratic congressman, said Pakistan itself is feeling threatened by the increase in militancy on its soil and wants to see insurgent leaders taken out.

‘You’ve seen the progression here,” Marshall told AP. “Initially we wouldn’t even fire back across the (Pakistan) border.

We changed that. We’re firing back. We’re pursuing, and now acting on intelligence we are prepared to use discreet weaponry to take out high value targets” in Pakistan.

Rep. Chris Shays, a Republican member of the House Homeland Security committee, said it appears the United States is making some of the same mistakes in Afghanistan that it did in Iraq, such as underfunding the training of the Afghan army. He also called for an increase in the use of “soft power” like aid work and “some sort of effort in reconciliation.”

Homeless patients face poor care in local N.C. clinics

By Tom Marine THE DAILY REFLECTOR OF GREENVILLE

GREENVILLE, N.C. Carol Jenkins walked into the Greenville Community Shelter Clinic on a recent Monday night with a noticeable limp.

Her left knee was swollen, she said, and a sharp, shooting pain ran around her knee cap every time she put pressure on the leg.

“Do whateveryou can do for me,” Jenkins told the clinic staff in her New York accent. “This knee has been giving me a lot of trouble. It’s stiff all the time.”

Jenkins, who has been living at the Greenville Community Shelter for nearly two months, spent the next two hours being examined by medical students and doctors before leaving with a half-filledbottle of generic pain relief medication.

The Daily Reflector of Greenville reported that eleven patients, most of them from the shelter, would come to the clinic that night seeking medical attention. For Jenkins and the rest of the homeless population, they say nothing is easy—not even getting pain medication for a body ache.

“Their problem is they don’t have access to care,” said Lynda Bridges, a medical student at the Brody School of Medicine and member of the board of directors for the clinic, which provides free, basic medical services. “We have (treated) people that were hearing voices and not getting the medication they need.”

U.S. criticizes China for lack of openness

By Rohan Sullivan . THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING The United States said Sunday it was disappointed the Olympics had not brought more “openness and tolerance” in China and pressed for the immediate release of eight American protesters as the games ended.

The New York-based group Students for a Free Tibet said the eight Americans were deported during the Olympics closing ceremony Sunday but there was no immediate confirmation from U.S. or Chinese officials.

The blunt U.S. criticism—and China’s harsher treatment of foreign activists —came at the end of 17 days of Olympic competition that generally went smoothly for Chinese organizers who had been nervous about security and protests.

No rallies were held throughout the entire Olympics in three parks designated as protest zones after Chinese officials declined to issue permits to 77 applicants, and detained some of them. But mostly foreign activists staged a series of small illegal demonstrations near Olympic venues and at Beijing landmarks.

The foreigners, for the most part, unveiled “Free Tibet” banners before being seized by security officials, hustled into cars and taken away to be put on flights out of China.

A handful journalists trying to cover the protests were roughed up by authorities then released. There were also tensions with the media over China restricting access to the Internet.

Beijing had promised the media freedom to report SEE CRITICISM ON PAGE

Statistics provided by PCMH show uninsured patients “They go to the emergency room when we are closed make up about eight percent of the total patient popubecause they can’t be turned away,” Bridges said. “It is lation while Medicare and Medicaid patients constitute a problem. It’s a waste of resources and it frustrates the more than 60 percent. During the 2007 fiscal year, University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina provided $57 emergency room doctors.”

The eight Americans were sentenced to 10 days in jail.

They were among small groups ofdemonstrators who have sought to oppose China’s tough rule in Tibet and its human rights record among other issues during the games.

Ambassador Clark T. Randt Jr. had pressed the Chinese government Saturday to immediately release the eight.

“We encourage the government of China to demonstrate respect for human rights, including freedom of expression and freedom of religion, of all people during the Olympic Games and beyond,” a U.S. Embassy statement said Sunday.

“We are disappointed that China has not used the occasion of the Olympics to demonstrate greater tolerance and openness,” it said.

PATIENTS from page 29 “Again, if the patient doesn’t reveal those things to us, we have no way of knowing.”

Morrow said one of the biggest public health concerns in the homeless population is communicable disease control, which can include tuberculosis, HIV-AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

“It is not necessarily the fact that they are homeless that concerns us,” he said. “It’s the factors that led them to be homeless, such as the lack of a social support structure or

All at www.oit.duke.edu

the lack of medical insurance.

“It’s unstable. That is the key thing that defines it.”

According to the National Resource and Training Center on Homelessness and Mental Illness, between 20 and 25 percent of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness.

That means there is a disproportionate number of mentally ill people among the homeless population when compared to the general population.

“If you don’t have a strong mind, you would lose it over there,” said Jenkins, referring to her time in the shelter.

“You’d be discouraged too if you were looking for housing and employment and nothing was coming your way.”

Reeder said when looking at the entire homeless population, meaning both short-term homelessness and long-term homelessness, the No. 1 cause for people to be chronically homeless is mental illness. Substance abuse also can play a large role, he said.

To help provide health care and gain some experience, students from the medical school are volunteering at the clinic, which is scheduled to operate every Monday and alternating Thursdays.

Jennifer Vu and Bobby Scott, both of whom are medical students at the Brody School and board members for the clinic’s board of operations, said there is a huge demand from both the Brody students and the local homeless population to keep the clinic open every week.

“There are pre-med students and Brody students that want to do this,”* Scott said. “Anytime a doctor signs up, within a day the volunteer list is full.”

However, they said getting a trained physician—who must be present to supervise the medical students and write prescriptions for the patients—to volunteer has become a problem.

“It’s very frustrating because I feel like I’m begging doctors to come supervise us,” Bridges said about running the clinic, which was only open two times during May and June.

Because of this inconsistency, Bridges said they have been forced to turn people away because so many show up for medical care. Keeping the clinic open every week, she said, would help the entire situation because the patients will wait to seek treatment if they know the medical students and physicians are coming back.

“They experience the exact same problems as other people in eastern North Carolina, it’s just that they don’t have insurance,” Bridges said in reference to the homeless population. “They come to us for ibuprofen and aspirin.

That four dollars may be dinner for them.”

In addition to the clinic, the James D. Bernstein Community Health Center provides primary care, dental care and pharmacy services for low-income people in Pitt and surrounding counties. The 15,000-square-foot facility is owned and operated by Access East, an independent, charitable, nonprofit organization.

“They are extremely grateful,” Bridges said of the shelter’s residents. “They are very thankful because they know we are trying to help them and it gives them a sense of pride that they are helping with our education.”

months ago would have to take advantage of its youthful energy in order the Washington correspondent of The to increase its global name recPeople’s Daily, a Chinese ogmUoh Now, men’s basketball newspaper controlled by the Communist Party, asked Presihead coach Mike Krzyzewsdent Richard ki’s leadereditorial Brodhead a ship of the U.S. men’s simple question: Why does Duke, one of basketball team at the Beithe world’s top universities, jing Olympics has given the have such a low profile in ChiUniversity a priceless chance na? Brodhead responded that to expand its brand not only Duke’s lagging international in China, but also in the reputation stemmed from the United States and the rest of fact that the University was the world.

First, there is the staggerfounded centuries after many of its peer institutions. Broding number of people who head explained that Duke watched Krzyzewski’s squad

tear through the Olympic field.

The Associated Press reported that 170 million Chinese alone saw die national team’s Group B game against China.

Add to that the hundreds of millions of people all over the world who tuned in for one of the U.S. team’s eight consecutive victories (including yesterday’s win over Spain for the gold medal) and you have a whole lot of folks learning for the first time about Mike Krzyzewski and the university he calls home.

But Coach K’s contribution goes beyond raw viewership numbers. He was also an ideal

representative for his country and the University. He encouraged America’s superstars to mingle with other athletes in the Olympic Village, took them on a field trip to the Great Wall and led a team characterized by its good-natured camaraderie and teamwork. Jerry Colangelo, national director of U.S. basketball, told McClatchy Newspapers that Krzyzewski brought “dignity” and “class” to the men’s program. “He bled red, white and blue,” Colangelo said of Krzyzewski.

Krzyzewski’s success is further proof, that Duke’s

athletic strength can reinforce its reputation in all fields. The words “engagement” and “globalization” have been floating around campus in recent years—especially when undergraduates are looking for summer funding. Nonetheless, during these Olympics Coach K has arguably done more for the University’s reputation abroad than the hundreds of students who have been digging ditches in Peru or conducting microfinance in South Asia.

Thank you, Coach K. Better yet—xie xie.

mistake when you’ve made it again.” Man, I’m good wkh those columnrelevant, precautiona axioms

chairman of thebored

For those monday, monday of you who don’t remember, many moons ago, I used to grace these pages with such remarkable witticisms. Long story short, I became loose with my verbiage, some offense was taken, Aunt Ida burned the roast ham, and I was summarily suspended from my traditional duties and replaced by such hacks as *shudder* Jessica Ballou and David Distenfeld. But this didn’t stop me, no way.

What led to my sudden rebirth in this tower of campus thought and action? Well, I’m glad you asked. Actually, there was nothing that I did to deserve being rehired... you could say I was rather inconspicuous during my layoff (well, actually, R&B star Bobby Valentino did write a song about me... remember? You, know, the guy who did “Pimpin’ All Over the World” with Ludacris? Timbaland was on it? Anybody? Oh forget it.) Rather, the decision was more a result of the mistakes of others. Turns out, this was a banner year for people saying stupid things that were anything but anonymous. My theory: There were so many fabulous faux-pas this summer that my editors realized it couldn’t hurt to loose me upon you unsuspecting youngsters once more. For the confused or culturally illiterate out there, let me explain.

I guess it all started in June, which makes sense. The sun is hot, the beach is crowded, and the national media is dumber than a ficus on painkillers.

Among many notable missteps, two ESPN personalities made bigtime gaffes. Columnist Jemele Hill compared rooting for the Boston Okies Hitler was a victim.” Shortly thereafter, reporter Bonnie Bernstein com-

pared some high school basketball stars to Palestinian suicide bombers. Those pseudo-journalists aren’t too good with those analogies, are they?

Just when you at home thought writers and reporters couldn’t possibly unearth more inappropriateness, a cautious young gentleman named Don Imus decided to give a great big sucker punch to his reputation (at least what was left of it). A mere 16 months after Imus created some controversy with his comments about the Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team, he made a seemingly racist comment about Make-It-Rain All-Star and sometime football player Adam “Pacman” Jones, leading to a second invitation to join the Facebook group “In Retrospect, That Was a Poor Choice.”

Actually, I really hope Imus isn’t on Facebook. Can you say “untag”?

Which brings me to the point of this column (and you thought it didn’t exist... for shame).

I, Anonymous, do not wish ill upon any of the people referenced in this column. I think that each became famous for good reasons, as the United States is, more often than not, a meritocracy. If you don’t believe me, just go listen to Paris Hilton’s virtuosic opus, “Stars Are Crazy.”

Sublime. I simply use these individuals’ unfortunate situations to illustrate that I am not only back, but better than ever. During my extended timeout, I have learned the value of standing by one’s words. Not having a Duke student’s name behind my writing is not a license to be inappropriate and disrespectful as some have been in the past. You, careful observer, should rest assured that this sacred temple of anonymity, once again free from the labels, assumptions and generalizations that define some aspects ofDuke life (Editor’s Note: How’s that for a generalization?), will remain anonymous through the utmost care.

I—nay, we—will have fun, but we will not do it while exploiting stereotypes that might hurt some members of the Duke community. C’mon, we’re better than that. Speak for yourself, you say? Well, fine, you can write this column. Yeah, you, smart mouth. But I digress....

In sum, welcome back, boys and girls. And, for you first timers, welcome to Durham: Stay as long as you can! Get excited for a year that promises to be full of football victories, section parties, and cats. Always cats. Now go out to Shooters and make it rain! Er, I mean... have fun.

Meeting adjourned.

Pro Bono Publico

lettertotheeditor Horse recognized by “Who’s Who” I read with great excitement the article in the Aug. 22 issue of The Chronicle, “University listed 80th best undergrad institution in first Forbes.com ranking,” on the new rating system for universities developed by Richard Vedder and Forbes, com. This system bases 25 percent of its ranking on the number of alumni in “Who’s Who in America.” I take issue with our Provost’s negative assessment of this novel ranking system. It is clear tome that this method can potentially recognize achievements that might not have figured into other ranking methods. Specifically, it is clear that “Who’s Who” goes to great lengths to identify outstanding individuals who might not be identified by conventional measures of accomplishment. I provide a case-in-point.

A couple of weeks ago my mare, Dixie, received a letter from Marquis Who’s Who. This was notable, firstly, because she really does not get much-first class mail. More importantly, the letter inside informed her that she was being considered for inclusion in “Who’s Who in America.” I really don’t know how

the selectors at “Who’s Who” became aware of her many sterling qualities.

They must have sources even out here in the rural hinterlands. It is possible she came to their notice because of the prescription I had filled for her at WalMart a few years ago. That certainly got her correspondence from a number of pharmaceutical companies, and I would not be surprised if they had some influence with “Who’s Who.” In spite of the fact that Dixie and I were honored by the recognition, I had not previously realized how important it was to be selected for inclusion in “Who’s Who.” Of course, I knew it would be a major personal accomplishment for Dixie. However, I now realize it could also dramatically improve the ranking of my horse breeding program on a national level. As soon as I finish this letter thanking you for bringing this news to my attention, I will start helping Dixie fill out the forms. Maybe we can get them in the mail to Marquis before the end of the day...

The

patriarch Washington Duke gave us the title for this column: Pro Bono Publico.

Conscripted by the Confederacy, captured soon after by the Union and held as a POW until the Civil War ended, Duke headed back to North Carolina to pick up pieces ofhis life. Twice prematurely widowed, he gathered his four young children from relatives and trudged to his old homestead.

Legend maintains he had 50 cents in his pocket, possessed two blind mules and found a bale of tobacco to process for smoke, snuff and chaw. His daughter sewed Tr-'?r-~ cloth pouches and printed the motto “Pro Bono Publico” on each. The Duke brand got established quickly; the Surgeon General’s report on health hazards was still a century away.

The column Pro Bono Publico will appear each Monday with a joint byline. We promkristin butler ise to be fair and principled, probative and ed rickards informative, analytical and critical. Our focus pro bono publico will be university policy and governance, and readers can count on us to hold administrators’ feet to the fire. That starts right now.

We regret that at the outset President Richard Brodhead has refused to grant us an interview. We explained in summertime e-mails we would be writing more about him and his administration than any other journalists, on campus or off.

John Bumess, who recently retired as senior vice president for government affairs and public relations, replied that although Duke “has been more willing than other universities to engage with reporters,” it is paradoxically not “in the University’s interest” to speak with us, writers from the Duke community newspaper.

Burness’s replacement, Michael Schoenfeld, quickly agreed—so quickly in fact that he did not bother to take office first nor exchange a single word with us.

As unsound as we often found Bumess’s judgment—remember a judge questioned, “Why would anybody be dumb enough to say what (Bumess) did” about former lacrosse coach Mike Pressler —we are appalled by Schoenfeld’s demonstrated lack of independent thought, not to mention his lack of respect for this newspaper.

Indeed, by signaling that he’ll deal only with certain (read; ideologically friendly) Chronicle writers and not others, Schoenfeld has moved toward a brave new world on campus where access seems governed by how lavishly one praises Brodhead.

We’ve watched administrators building toward this Orwellian strain of thought-crime for several years. Step one has been the recurring release of misleading information.

A good example came when Bumess challenged our column pointing out Duke’s lack of dutiful observance on Memorial Day. Burness maintained much was happening. He cited a hospital chapel that would remain open 24 hours per day—but whoops, we discovered it’s open 24 hours every day. Burness also pointed to a ceremony in a Duke Hospital courtyard—but whoops, his own staff assigned this event no importance, no news release nor photograph, no listing in the online calendar. Asked to name the five highest University officials in attendance, Burness was not embarrassed at all to move silendy to the next question.

More often than releasing mis-information, the Brodhead administration has simply clammed up, dismanding effective involvement in the affairs of the University.

—ln his most important speech—a partial apology for disgraceful mishandling of the lacrosse hoax—Brodhead promised to convene a conference of universities to learn how Duke might be fairer and more honest with students facing criminal charges. Did this ever occur? Burness curtly replied no comment.

What a spectacle: The president of this university makes a public promise and columnists for the campus-newspaper are unable to find out if he kept it!

—We’ve written Brodhead and his staff for more than two years about donors who specified that their endowments could only be used to benefit white people.

Understand, please, that these donors had malice in their hearts and are unlike those of good will who restrict contributions so minorities can advance. Finally Duke took action, suing two donors to change the terms.

We should be proud of the Brodhead administration for this, but we cannot find the lawsuits and Burness would not tell us what court or even what state to search. He refused to furnish us with public documents from the litigation. Nor would he reveal if these two bigots are the full extent of the problem.

—The veterans’ memorial wall, designed to pay tribute to students who gave their lives for our country, has not been updated in more than half a century.

We’ve asked for ten months how many sons ofDuke who fell in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq are not honored.

What a spectacle: We can’t find out how many of our classmates paid the supreme sacrifice—because administrators know we will impale them with this documentation of their neglect.

In a larger sense, Brodhead did not deny us an interview. He denied it to you, our readers.

We believe you need a spectrum of information if you are to fulfill your responsibility as engaged students, faculty and alumni caring about and caring for Duke. We believe a university should be studied and scrutinized like any other institution in society. We believe in openness for its own sake. And we concur with the Supreme Court justice who wrote that sunlight disinfects.

Mr. Brodhead, be assured we’ll knock on your door again, with dwindling hopes that in your fifth year we will see you burst from your cocoon, finally the colorful, consistent, courageous, accountable leader we expected.

WOMEN'S SOCCER

Blue Devils aim to carry momentum from 2007 by

Sabreena Merchant THE CHRONICLE

Duke is starting this season on the attack.

After starting with defense the past few years, the Blue Devils have shifted their preseason focus to the offensive side of the field, a year after they finished in the bottom half of the league in goals per game and often had difficulty converting scoring opportunities.

“We’ve always been a very, very good defensive team; we’ve always been very solid in the goal,” head coach Robbie Church said. “We’ve got to take the next step.”

And No. 16 Duke is counting on an improved offensive attack to help the team build off of its longest postseason run since 1994 as it tries to earn a place among college soccer’s elite.

The 2007 Blue Devils played mainly a 43-3 formation, but have used the 4-4-2 more in preseason, a move that Church said has already resulted in more goals. Junior Elisabeth Redmond—last season’s leading scorer with eight goals and 12 assists—has moved from playing forward back into an attacking midfield position, creating a dynamic pairing with National Player of the Year candidateLorraine Quinn. In its 2007 NCAA tournament success, Duke flirted with the 4-4-2 formation to great rewards.

“We put [Redmond] in an attacking midfield position so she could face up and really run at players,” Church said. “Elisabeth is running at defenders well, she’s drawing defenders out of shape, she can score from distance and she can play otherplayers in.”

Duke is also looking to get a fast start due to a top heavy schedule that has the Blue Devils playing in Koskinen Stadium for nine of their first 13 games. Duke will close out the season with five ACC road games in six contests and two against current top-10 opponents.

Nevertheless, the Blue Devils relish the opportunity to test their mettle in one of the nation’s toughest conferences, even if the results showed negatively in the winloss column a year ago.

“A lot of the teams [in the ACC] are

After an unexpected postseason run to the national quarterfinals last season, the No. 16 Blue Devils return nine starters this year.

really competitive and got into the tournament, so the post-season was our time to shine,” Redmond said. “Going into this season, we’re not overlooking the conference because it’s going to be really challenging.

We’re preparing for that and taking one game at a time. Our conference really prepares us for the postseason.”

Although the team returns nine of 11 starters, Duke still has question marks in its lineup before the team can realistically think about the tournament. The most notable departure was goalkeeper Allison Lipsher, a four-year starter whose name is littered throughout the Blue Devil record books and whose absence will profoundly affect Duke’s back line.

Senior goalkeeper Cassidy Powers backed up Lipsher lastyear and is a possible candidate to replace her. However, personal reasons forced Powers to miss the first week ofcamp, allowing freshman Emily Nahas to SEE W. SOCCER ON PAGE 10

LORRAINE

QUINN SENIOR MIDFIELD

Quinn, a scrappy midfielder who has traditionally served as the playmaker rather than the goalscorer, had a summer to remember. She played with the U-23 Women's National Team and helped the Americans take the Nordic Cup. This year, her final season with head coach Robbie Church, she might be the one scoring rather than creating.

Duke’s early scoring outburst demolishes Coastal Carolina, 9-0 by

of seven her freshman year—Gummersall doubled her production from last season, knocking in Duke’s third and fourth goals.

Her improved mobility was evident in her first tally, as she ran down the left side of the box and used her left foot to put the ball in from 15 yards out.

But Gummersall’s double took a backseat to the scoring outburst of Rape, the freshman centerback. Playing in her first collegiate contest, the defender not only ably filled in for injured centerback Sara Murphy but also added production on the offensive end, heading the ball in twice off of comer kicks.

“I just wanted to come out and play my hardest and make a first tackle,” Rape said.

THE CHRONICLE

With just over 16 minutes left in the first half, junior Jane Alukonis set up a comer kick with the Blue Devils holding a commanding 4-0 advantage. As she prepared to service the ball, forward Kay Anne Gummersall yelled from the bench; “Put this in, Duke!”

Alukonis delivered. She sent a perfect

ball into freshman Ashley Rzpe who rrit—Vn vV-U yu headed in her second | ,s° al of 16 Bgl m z match—and the second goal of her already-promising Blue Devil career—to give Duke a 5-0 lead as the team coasted into halftime.

It was that easy for the Blue Devils against Coastal Carolina (0-2) at Koskinen Stadium Sunday.

No. 16 Duke (1-0) thrived in its new 4-4-2 formation to rout the Chanticleers 9-0 in its opening match of the season and temporarily put aside its scoring troubles of a year ago.

“We are a lot stronger than we were last year,” Gummersall said. “We have that goalscoring mentality. Obviously, this wasn’t the toughest test we’ll have, but I think we’ll be able to bring it in games down theroad.”

The junior forward factored heavily in the Blue Devil onslaught. After spending much of 2007 hampered by an ankle injury and scoring just once the entire year—compared to the team-leading total ’

WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

Duke strives to return to top of the rankings by

Laura Keeley THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devil senior runners have been waiting their whole careers to get their team back on top. They believe this year holds the promise of a return to glory and a secured spot among the powerhouse programs, as they were in 2004 and 2005 when they finished second in the nation.

“We came in our freshman year when the team was ranked first in the country,” senior Patricia Loughlin said. “That was pretty intimidating coming in as a freshman and seeing that we had six seniors and five of them were All-Americans and just kind of on a different level. Getting to see that day-in and day-out was an inspiration and how much fun they were having and how driven they were.

“1 feel like that same kind of momentum is back with us. We have a great group of older girls and a great group of freshmen that just seem very excited about where we’re at and having fun. Everyone is pretty inspired to do the things day-in and dayout to see what we can do.”

Eight seniors will try to instill that same work ethic—that drive to see what they can do—in the 10 incoming freshman, nine of whom were recruited. With a team loaded with upperclassmen, Duke feels its experience will be a real ace up its sleeve in the upcoming season. year we had, on an individual level, a lot of athletes have great breakthroughs and have high levels of performance,” head

coach Kevin Jerrnyn said. “We return our entire group ofleaders from the previous year, so we feel that we’re a group that is ready for a pretty major step forward from where we were last year, and I certainly think that we have the potential to be right where we were, compeddon-wise, as two to three years ago.

Our goals are pretty high since we’re coming off a season with great posidve momentum.”

The positive vibes that have been flowing throughout the preseason have given all the Blue Devils sound mental health.

But perhaps more importantly, they are physically healthy as well. All 23 athletes in the preseason camp are running and training—not one is sitting out with an injury.

Jerrnyn said it is the healthiest start Duke has had in years.

And leading the charge, at least on the trail, will be a junior, not a senior.

Maddie McKeever, who finished 21st last year at the NCAA championships, exemplifies the type of workethic and veteran leadership Jermyn wants out of his upperclassmen leaders—and perhaps even the type of guidance he saw from his leaders when the Blue Devils sat atop the national rankings.

“As a coach, I feel very fortunate to have an experienced group ofleaders who I trust, and I think that they are going to do a fine job of leading this team to great results and also have a really fun season,” Jermyn said. “We’re going to aim big, but we’ve got to train smart and have fun every step of the way.”

Depth, rule changes bolster Duke’s chances by

Matthew Iles THE CHRONICLE

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Head coach Norm Ogilvie believes theBlue Devils' depth will result in a jump for Duke in the ACC standings.

After a disappointing sixth-place finish in the ACC last year, head coach Norm Ogilvie is cpnfident that Duke’s second consecutive top-10 recruiting class will help Duke bounce back this season.

With 13 underclassmen on the 19-man roster, the Blue Devils might be young and inexperienced.

But they also have the leaders necessary to position themselves for a successful season.

“We’re very excited about the young people on our team, but the key with our team, as with most athletic endeavors, is going to be our leadership from our seniors,” Ogilvie said. “With the combination of strong upperclassmen leadership and real strong freshmen and sophomore classes, we think that we can rejoin what has become the top three in recent years in the ACC; Florida State, N.C. State and Virginia.”

Duke will rely on its impressive depth this year, and with a rule change in the ACC championship, the Blue Devils should be able to utilize their frill roster more than ever this season.

Previously, teams were allowed to race eight runners, with all but two times counting toward the school’s total. In virtually every other major conference and in the regional and national championships, teams are allowed to race 10 runners but throw away the three slowest times. The ACC conformed’to the growing norm this offseason, allowing Duke to enter 10 members and keep the top eight finishes.

With talented runners from top to bottom, the Blue Devils will benefit from this change in their quest to crack into the top tier of the ACC. “We feel that we are ready to join that group and make it an elite four,” Ogilvie said. “I think that all four teams can qualify for the NCAA championships. We’re fired up and can’t wait to start competing.”

Duke kicks off its season this Friday at the Wake Forest Relay in Winston-Salem, with its eye on the ACC championship Nov. 1.

In their effort to improve on last year’s finish, the Blue Devils will lean on sophomore Bo Waggoner, who placed 14th last year, 16 spots ahead of anybofly else on the team. He also finished in the top 10 in three of his other five races, and is expected to perform just as consistently this season.

Although Duke’s young legs will certainly provide a boost this season, the Blue Devils will look to seniors Kevin McDermott and Geary Gubbins for leadership. McDermott consistently finished as one of the Blue Devils’ top runners in 2007, placing in the top 10 twice. Gubbins is returning from an injury that forced him to miss all of last season and should make an impact right away this year.

“In order to compete at the national level, you need to have your juniors and seniors in the mix. They need to be the leaders up front,” Gubbins said. “It’s really important for us to come out and prove that the seniors can be the dominant guys on the team.”

Redeem Team earns gold with win over Spain by

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Order is restored in international basketball. The United States is back on top, but not by that much anymore.

Culminating a three-year mission to end years of embarrassment, the U.S. Olympic team, guided by Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, survived a huge challenge from Spain, winning 118-107 Sunday in the goldmedal game.

After overwhelming everyone for seven games, the AmeriDUKE IN THE cans led by only four points with under 2 IA minutes to play. Then &| the U.S. proved it could handle a close game that seemed OLYMPICS would never come in MEN'S BASKETBALL Beijing.

KiP*

1 heir prize: the hrst

U.S. gold medal since the 2000 Olympics.

“Much respect to Spain, but the U.S. is back on top again,” Leßron James said.

In addition to Krzyzewski, former Duke star Carlos Boozer was a reserve forward on the team, and associate head coaches Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski were scouting directors for Team USA. Dwyane Wade scored 27 points for the Americans, who found a much gamer Spanish team than the one it humiliated by 37 points earlier in the tournament. Kobe Bryant added 20 points.

In a game so devoid of defense that it felt more like an NBA All-Star game than one widi a tide at stake, the Americans had too much offense down the stretch.

They began to celebrate during a break after some technical fouls on Spain with 26 seconds left, then partied at midcourt when it was over with “Born in the USA” blaring over the arena’s speakers.

“We played with great character in one of the great games in international basketball history, I think,” said Krzyzewski, a former Army point guard.

Nobody else had been close to the Americans in Beijing. This team’s only Olympic competition hadbeen history, in a Dream matchup with guys named Jordan, Magic, Bird and the rest of die U.S. team that dominated the Barcelona Games in 1992. Forget comparisons to those guys. The Americans were lucky to be better dian Spain on Sunday.

U.S. players appreciated the game Spain

gave them. After the contest they hugged the Spanish players. Bryant had an especially long embrace for Gasol, patting his Los Angeles Lakers teammate on the back.

Seeming to appreciate the moment, after congratulating Spain, the team joined in a circle, jumping up and down at center court and waving triumphantly to the crowd as Krzyzewski applauded on the sidelines.

The Americans had won their first seven games by 30.3 points, including a 119-82 rout of Spain. But they never had control of this game, giving up open looks from the perimeter and plenty of points in the paint.

But Bryant, who waited so long to finally wear the red, white and blue, hit two 3-pointers in a big fourth quarter to add the gold medal to the only piece of hoops hardware he didn’t already own.

James scored 14 points, while Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul had 13 apiece for the Americans, who had won bronze medals in their last two international events, the 2004 Olympics and ‘O6 world championships.

Jerry Colangelo was given control of USA Basketball and constructed a national team program in 2006, requiring those who wanted to play to commit to three years.

He got Bryant and James quickly on board and landed almost everyone else he asked for, finding a group of NBA stars eager to give up their summer to get back what they felt belonged to their country.

And he needed all of them against a Spain team that on this day would have likely beaten any other recent U.S. squad.

Fresh off leading the United States gold medal in the Olympics, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and associate head coaches Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski will return to North Carolina today to a reception in Terminal A of to a

Raleigh-Durham Airport.

The coaches’ flight is scheduled to arrive in the area at 5:12 p.m. and the Iron Dukes have organized a reception at the terminal.

THE CHRONICLE

The day after Duke failed to advance the Final Four for the first time since 2003-the Blue Devils lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament, 5-4, to James Madison-two captains approached head coach Beth Bozman and told her that last season was over.

The new season had already begun with the tears of defeat still wet.

“I think it just said that even though we finished where we finished, it just is not acto

L

ceptable for our program,” Bozman said of the scene. “Everyone made a commitment then and there to change things so that they would never have to experience that again.”

By “that,” Bozman refers to the overtime heartbreaker against James Madison, the first time since 1999 the Blue Devils lost in the first round—and on a questionable goal, at that. While that loss still resonates, Bozman might as well have been talking about the season as a whole, by far Bozman’s least successful in her five years at the helm.

Bozman had led the Blue Devils to

I l

four straight national semifinals and four straight seasons of at least 16 wins. Last year, Duke finished 11-9 and tied for fourth in the brutally competitive ACC, its worst finish of Bozman’s reign.

But this year, Duke returns eight starters, including its six leading scorers from 2007, and Bozman has exuded cautious optimism.

“We’re far ahead of where we’ve been in any other year—the way we’re playing and what we’ve been doing on the field,” she said.

In unfamiliar position, Duke seeks return to top by

MadelinePerez THE CHRONICLE

A year ago, the Blue Devils were the heavy favorites to win the ACC. Armed with one of Duke’s most successful senior classes in school history, the team reached the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive year.

But Carrie DeMange, Jenny Shull and Ali Hausfeld are gone.

And now the Blue Devils are in unfamiliar territory, nabbed third in the preseason conference rankings.

Not that Duke seems to mind After dominating the ACC the last three years, the Blue Devils relish the chance to be underestimated.

“Ever since we’ve been here, we’ve always had that target on our back,” senior outside hitter Sue Carls said. “We’ve always been preseason No. 1 since we’ve been freshmen and Duke is the team that everyone wants to beat and everyone brings their A game for.

“But I think because we’re No. 3 this year, people will take us for granted hope-

fully.”

Despite DeMange, Shull and Hausfield dominating nearly every individual Duke record, this year’s trio of seniors is hardly one to scoff at.

Middle blocker Jourdan Norman needs only 81 more blocks to earn the Duke record.

Last season, Carls amassed a .314 hitting percentage and 307 kills.

Outside hitter Aana Wherry will primarily anchor the defense, having averaged 1.61 digs per game last season.

Both Norman and junior Rachael Moss were named to the preseason All-ACC team, a first for the senior while Moss earned the honor for the second straight

season.

Because of the loss of three starters, freshmen Kayla Kirk, Amanda Robertson, Kellie Catanach and Sophia Dunworth may be needed sooner than later.

With the opening setting position, Catanach will compete with junior Christine Falcone and sophomore Alex Sail for the spot.

“There are a lot of opportunities out there for players that have been here as well as our freshman,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. Do we need [the freshmen] to?

I don’t care who it is.

“There are some holes to be filled, and I think people are really working to gain that

opportunity.”

Although it would be easy to peg the season as merely a rebuilding year for Duke, the team has the same goal they’ve had the previous seasons—get past the second round of the NCAA tournament.

“We’re always so close to the sweet sixteen every year,” Wherry said. We’re always so close every year and I think we want to get past that, get over the hump. That’s definitely our major goal.

“We have a lot of work to do and we have to come together as a team.”

Athletic department inks apparel deal with Nike

Contract will cover all teams for 10 years

Nike will provide Duke’s 26 varsity with uniforms, footwear, apparel and equipment under a new, 10-year sponsorship agreement signed by the University and Nike, Inc. Friday. Nike—the company that already sponsors the football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams—will introduce its gear to other squads over a three-year period beginning this year.

In addition, Nike will provide annual cash compensation to the athletic department, give annual funding to local charities and honor one Duke athlete with an internship at Nike’s headquarters in Oregon.

“Nike is completely committed to the misteams

sion of Duke Athletics —to attain excellence in all phases of the student-athlete experience, whether it is in the classroom, on the playing fields or in the Durham community,” Director of Athletics Kevin White said in a statement.

“This agreement provides significant financial resources to service our student-athletes by providing the finest equipment and apparel in college athletics.”

The statement also says that Nike, a company that has long been accused of employing child laborers, will comply with Duke’s policies on labor rights, which demands that manufacturers protect workers’ rights.

“Overall our performance was solid and it improved on our performance against Greensboro, so I’m happy with that.”

The Blue Devils kick off the regular season next Friday in a tournament in Bloomington, Ind. against No. 7 Indiana and round out the weekend with a match against No. 3 Notre Dame. Duke plays its first home game Sept. 5 against Kerr’s former squad, Harvard.

And the high quality of play from the goalkeepers has been matched by all of the Blue Devils in Duke’s preseason. Church noted that he has yet to see a down day in
