For the first timesince 2002,the David Cutcliffe-led Blue Devils have a chance to improve their record to 2-0 when they take thefield with Northwestern Saturday at 7 p.m. in Wallace Wade Stadium. by
Laura Keeley THE CHRONICLE
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it —that’s the Blue Devils’ strategy in their week two matchup with Big Ten foe Northwestern Saturday at 7 p.m. in Wallace Wade Stadium. And for the first time since 2002, when Duke last won its season opener, that might not be such a bad thing. The Blue Devils (1-0) look to continue to use their multifaceted, fast-paced offensive attack against the similar-mind-
ed Wildcats (1-0), despite the fact that Northwestern is bigger, stronger and faster than Division I-AA James Madison, last week’s opponent. “[We will] definitely try to establish the run and the passing game,” quarterback Thaddeus Lewis said. “They both go hand-inhand and help each other out, so ifwe run it good, we will be able to pass it well. And ifwe pass it good, then we will be running well, so they both open up each other.” SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 14
Awash in a flurry of Busch Light debris, the post-Tailgate Blue Zone tends to look as if it has been hit by a hurricane, rain or shine. This Saturday, however, the description could be especially appropriate if Tropical Storm Hanna crashes the party. T.S. Hanna is expected to make landfall near North Carolina’s coast late Friday or early Saturday, just in time for the Blue Devils’ matchup with Northwestern. Bracing the state for what is expected to escalate to a weak Category 1 hurricane, Gov. Mike Easley pronounced a state of emergency, ordered the National Guard and water rescue teams to prepare for the storm and implored residents to heed safety warnings. WRAL predicts two to four inches of rainfall and wind gusts of up to 50 mph Friday and Saturday in the Triangle area. But senior Mike McGroddy insisted that he would not let severe weather conditions put a damper on his fun. “This is one ofmy last Tailgates,” he said. “It’s going to take a lot more than a hurricane to keep me out of the Blue Zone.” Representatives from Duke, Northwestern and the Atlantic Coast Conference will hold a conference call this morning to determine the status of the Duke’s 7 p.m. tilt with the Wildcats, Associate Director ofAthletics Mitch Moser said.

ST. PAUL, Minn. —John McCain, a POW turned political rebel, vowed Thursday night to vanquish the “constant partisan rancor” that grips Washington as he launched his fall campaign for the White House. “Change is coming,” he promised the roaring Republican National Convention and a prime-time televisionaudience. “Fight with me. Fight with me. Fight with me. Fight for what’s right for our country,” he urged in a convention crescendo. To repeated cheers from his delegates, McCain made only passing reference to an unpopular George W. Bush and criticized fellow Republicans as well as Democratic rival Barack Obama in reaching out to independents and swing voters who will pick the next president. “We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us,” he said of the Republicans who controlled

OSLO, Norway A Norwegian BASE jumper said he learned a hard lesson about tempting fate after surviving a spine-chilling crash from a mile-high mountain. Video captured by a camera attached to Hans Lange's specially designed jump suit showed him struggling to straighten out his parachute before slamming into a rock wall and crashing into a tree top. He survived with a broken leg. "I was too nonchalant and there is no room for mistakes in this sport," Lange, 44, told The Associated Press Thursday. The accident happened Aug.23,as the experiencedBASE jumper leapt off the 1,600-meter-(5,250-foot-) high Bjoerketind peak. Lange said he was flying down the mountainside at nearly 180 kph (110 mph) when herealized he was too close to the wall. a

Bush plans to pull U.S.-Russia deal
yv
WASHINGTON President Bush is poised to punish Moscow for its invasion of Georgia by canceling a once-celebrated deal for civilian nuclear cooperation between the U.S.and Russia. With relations between the two nations in a nearly ColdWar-like freeze over Russia's actions against its neighbor last month, planning is under way at theWhite House for the largelysymbolic move by Bush, senior administration officials said, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision was not yet final. Action could come quickly, within days at the most and officials see no need to wait untilVice President Dick Cheney returns next Wednesday from an overseas trip that includes stops in three formerSoviet republics. Withdrawing the agreement from Capitol Hill would have little actual impact, as the deal very likely would not gain approval during Bush's presidency. But taking the overt and public step of pulling it would be intended to send a message to Russia and the world that its actions in Georgia last month are not acceptable and will not go unanswered

Vendor to sweeten up late-night dining Fed. agency reviews N.C. probation by
Lisa Du
THE CHRONICLE
For any student, the thought of a warm and gooey chocolate chip cookie with a cold glass of milk late at night in Perkins Library is a welcome fantasy. But starting tonight, students can stop dreaming—and simply salivate. Midnight Cookies, a new Merchants on Points vendor started by senior Erick Rabin, will begin delivering tonight, adding more variety to Duke’s late-night dining scene and an extra treat for those with a nocturnal sweet tooth. The business boasts a diverse menu of everyone’s favorite sweet snacks, ranging from cookies to frozen yogurt and complemented by milk and coffee. Rabin said he got the idea for Midnight Cookies when he heard about similar businesses at other universities and thought that there was too little variety in Duke’s late-night dining options. “I thought it would be kind of cool to start something that catered to people who were hungry and didn’t have anything to eat,” he said. “Since we’re not in a real city environment for the most part, it’s easier to haVe things delivered to you than it is to just walk out ofyour dorm and go someplace.” Demand for the cookies is already showing itself on campus, as some students have already tried to order from the business before its grand opening. Sophomore Emily Zhao said she and her friends had planned to order from Midnight Cookies last weekend before learning the cookies were not yet available. “[Wheti] we called and nobody picked up, it was devastating," she said. “Because you know, college students definitely need their sugar rush at night.”

dent demand, Rabin said He began work on the business last semester when he started pitching the idea around the University’s dining administration. He was then connected to Tommy’s Owner Tom Meyer, Trinity ’9l, who has become his mentor in getting Midnight Cookies off the ground. Meyer, who is Rabin’s primary partner in the business, said he has mainly given Rabin advice on how to make the business successful through points like structuring the menu and keeping costs low.
Following the killings ofDuke graduate student Abhijit Mahato and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson, the North Carolina Department of Corrections contacted the National Institute of Corrections in April requesting assistance with the probation system, which the NIC stated had “ineffective management oversight.” After reviewing North Carolina’s probation system, the NIC released a draft of their findings earlier this month, recommending 35 areas for improvement. A final draft of their report is expected to be released within the next week, said Keith Acree, director of public affairs for the DOC. Among other things, the draft recommends that high-risk probation offenders be denied bond, as well as steps to improve organization, case management and personnel training. State officials called for the intervention after it was discovered that the men charged in Carson’s death—Demario Atwater and Laurence Lovette —were both previously charged with committing other crimes while on probation. After his arrest in March, Lovette was also charged with the January shooting of Mahato. At the

Rachna Reddy THE CHRONICLE
Romantic dilemmas at Duke are not limited to its human population. Over the past few years, Merlin and Ardrey, an aye-aye couple from the Duke Lemur Center, have seen their share oflove problems. Captive-bom aye-ayes are not typically able to mate, but just more than a month ago, their second child, Ichabod, was born. “This has taught us about the reproductive behavior of aye-ayes,” DLC Director Anne Yoder said. “It is a social learning process.” Merlin and Ardrey’s success did not come easily. Yoder said for a long time Merlin, like many human males, was unsure of how to act toward Ardrey, and she, who was accustomed to mating with wild-bom males, simply grew impatient with him. It was not until Merlin was exposed to a wild male that he learned reproductive behavior and gained confidence. It took two years of coaching before Ichabod’s elder sister, Angelique, was bom in 2006. Yoder stressed the importance of Ichabod’s birth and the work the Lemur Center has done with breeding aye-ayes.

For all 30 days in September, Muslims will fast from dawn to dusk in honor of Islam’s holiest month. Every day during Ramadan, Duke Muslims gather together at 7:30 p.m. to pray, worship and observe Iftar, the Islamic time of breaking fast when the sun has set.

MCCAIN from page 1 Congress for a dozen years before they were voted out of office in 2006. As for Obama, he said, “I will keep taxes low and cut them where I can. My opponent will raise them. I will cut government spending. He will increase it.” McCain’s wife, Cindy, and ticketmate Sarah Palin and her husband joined him on stage as tens of thousands red, white and blue balloons cascaded from high above the convention floor. Unlike Obama’s speech a week ago, McCain offered no soaring oratory until his speech-ending summons to fight for the country’s future. But his own measured style left the hall in cheers, and as is his habit in campaign stops around the country, he stepped off the stage to plunge into the crowd after his speech. Palin joined him, embraced by the jubilant throng. McCain touched only briefly on the Iraq war—a conflict that Obama has vowed to end. “I fought for the right strategy and more troops in Iraq, when it wasn’t a popular thing to do,” the Republican said, adding that in the months since, the long-suffering nation had been spared from defeat. McCain’s appearance was the climax of the final night of the party convention, coming after delegates made Palin the first female vice presidential nominee in Republican history.

Thursday night marked the end of the four-day Republican National Convention, and a small crowd of 20 students and John McCain supporters gathered in the McClendon Tower Media Room to listen to McCain accept his party’s nominationfor presidency. The subdued atmosphere in the common room changed quickly as McCain delivered an emotional and personal speech carrying the message of unity, courage and patriotism. “I was very happy about what he had to say,” said senior Samuel Tasher, executive director of Duke College Republicans. “He really defined who he was and why he was the man to lead.” At the Duke Democrats’ viewing party of presidential candidate Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, about 100 students attended, marking a sharp contrast between turnout at the two viewing parties. Duke College Republicans Chair Vikram Srinivasan, a junior, said he was pleased with the amount of students who attended, adding that “it was very good for a Thursday night.” He noted, however, that many Duke students tend toward a liberal persuasion. “General student body tends to lean towards the left,” he said. “But if you consider McCain’s experience and his work across

Some students at the party said they also enjoyed listening to Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s speech Wednesday night. “I was really excited about [Palin],” said sophomore Samantha Mumma, who said she had been watching the conven-

During his speech, McCain highlighted his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and his family’s involvement in serving the country. “He focused on national security, economics, unity and change,” Tasher said. “He covered every aspect ofissues at hand.”

Students are urged to wear closed-toedshoes and refrain from throwing beer cans in the parking lot, but Wasiolek emphasized that the pre-kickoff revelry will not be at the forefront of administrators’ minds this weekend. “Tailgate is not the primary concern this weekend in light of the weather,” she said. “I am most concerned about everyone’s health and safety.” Junior Alyssa Back predicted that students partaking in the activities in the Blue Zone would be smaller in number and quieter than usual—fraternity brothers might be unwilling to chance their speakers in the downpour.

The number of international students has increased precipitously in the last 15 years: international students comprised just 1 percent of undergraduates in 1993 and has grown to 10 percent in 2008. They currently comprise 38 percent of graduate students, an 18-percent increase over the same time period.

Antepli has initiated interfaith Iftars during Ramadan to enhance dialogue among the groups. “What we will do is get together one hour before Iftar and share our common joys and similarities, as well as our difficulties and differences in all these communities in all different parts of the world,” he said. Members of each of these faith communities said they plan to attend Iftars to better understand Muslim traditions like Ramadan. “The interfaith dialogue is not meant to [make everyone] think alike but faithfully represent our individual traditions and at the same time show each other re-
sped,” said Joe Vetter, director and priest ofthe Catholic Student Center. “The interaction of faiths also allows us to stand up united against the very secular culture of the world in which we live.” The Muslim Student Association will also host a campus-wide Iftar—which they have done annually—in which allDuke students can break fast alongside Muslims. MSA Outreach Coordinator, Yasmina Chergui, a sophomore, said the purpose of the interfaith Iftars was to connect with students ofother religions on campus. “The whole purpose ofit is to reach out,” she said. “It’s important to have interfaith-type events for the sole purpose of conversation, dialogue and getting to know of another’s religion.” Hindu Students Association

Students observing Ramadan break fast with theMuslim StudentsAssociation Thursday at the international House.The holiday started Monday and ends Sept 30.
PresidentDaniel Agarwal, a senior, said the newly organized open Iftars will also serve to break common misunderstandings of crossfaith relationships, such as those between Hindus and Muslims. “There are misperceptions that Hindus and Muslims are always at odds with each other,” he said. “Religion is a part of our lives, but it shouldn’t dictate who we become friends with. We are each Hindi or Muslim, but we’re also Duke students and friends.” Similarly, Antepli said he wants to counter misconceptions about religion in general by building bridges and partnerships with other faith-based groups. “In a global sense, religion and religious groups always come into the media with tension, with war and with exclusivity,” he said. “We would like to be that alternative voice—that religion is there for peace.” Ramadan, one of the five pillars of Islam, is sanctified in the Quran as the holy month because it was the first time the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Antepli said Ramadan has a spiritual significance in that abstaining from food helps Muslims realize how dependent humans are on many things over which they have no control and that God has generously provided them. “By taking the fast, you discipline yourself, you get more focused and you reflect on your past life,” Antepli said. “You understand your fragility, and at the same time you feel thankful and feel yourself closer to God.”

DEAN from page 1 Peguero, said she is an advocate for students and administrators involved in the current system of Greek life. She chaired her university’s Greek Judicial Board as an undergraduate and continued to hold Greek positions as SGRho’s chapter adviser at the University of Virginia. “[Peguero] is still active within her [Greek] organization,” Adams said. “I do think that helps. It gives her another lens from which to view the community without trying to hold it to her own perceptions but having some background and experience, as well.” Peguero, who has served as the assistant dean of students at American University, Johns Hopkins University, Boston College as well as the University of Virginia, said she plans to enhance the role academic excellence plays in Greek life and publicize Greek community service opportunities. “We work really hard to acknowledge those chapters that are doing very well academically, and we work very hard to work with chapters that aren’t,” she said. “We are also encouraging students to share what they are doing to uplift their community.” Peguero said she has yet to evaluate the 37 various chapters at Duke and their specific needs, but she said she will work with students who are dynamic leaders and plans to bring out the values that their organizations have instilled in them through philanthropic efforts and empowerment sessions. She added that she will work on the chartering of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 2009 and Sigma Pi in 2011, as well as look into inquiries from the Inter-Greek Council to charier culturally based sororities and fraternities. “There are some talks ofinterest groups going on and obviously expansion is the biggest thing for our council,” said IGC President PaufYoum, a junior and member of Lambda Phi Epsilon. Adams said he hopes fraternities and sororities will continue to show how they contribute to the mission of the University and find ways to showcase their attributes. He added that Peguero will enhance the undergraduate Greek experience. “I’m sure that she’ll spend a good part ofher first semester viewing the landscape and determining from there and after conversations from the constituents about what r\eeds must be addressed and how to best [fulfill] them,” he said. Although Peguero has only been at Duke a short time, she said she is certain her experience working with Greek organizations will help familiarize her with the University’s Greek community and expand her position’s productivity. “The Greek experience truly enhances your college experience by giving you leadership skills, a huge network of people you can work with and rely on and a priceless brotherhood or sisterhood,” Peguero said.

Blumenherst, hailing from Scottsdale, Ariz., and Lee, from Henderson, Nev., both represented the West.

Duke head coach John Kerr has a rare advantage in preparing Duke for its next opponent: he built the team himself. Having left Harvard for his alma mater Duke this 'ear, Kerr will have the Harvard chance to face off against his former vs. recruits and players for the first time today at 7:30 p.m. Duke The matchup FRIDAY, 7:30 p.m. against Harvard in Koskinen Stadium Koskinen Stadium is also the Blue Amer can Devils’ first game of the Duke Clasvssic. The Blue Devils finish the tournament Sunday at Dllke 2:30 p.m. against SUNDAY, 2:30 p.m. American (1-1). Koskinen Stadium It is a challenge Kerr says he and the Blue Devils (0-2) are ready for. “It’s going to be mixed emotions, but I work for Duke now,” Kerr said earlier this week. “We’re looking forward to the challenge on Friday.” Despite the close ties he developed over his nine years coaching at Harvard (0-0), Kerr’s history goes back even further with Duke. In 1986,Kerr captained a team that won Duke’s first national championship, and the current coach is still considered perhaps the best player in school history. Harvard’s high-powered offense, led by its pair of preseason All-Americans Michael Fucito and Andre Akpan, could cause problems for the Blue Devils. But fortunately for Duke, the dynamic unit is

largely Kerr’s own creation. “I had a great coaching career at Harvard, and I enjoyed everything there,” Kerr said. “I recruited all of the players that are there now.” For Kerr’s current team, expectations remain high despite two early losses against top-ranked opponents. The matchup with Harvard comes at an early, but critical, part of the Blue Devils’ season. Duke’s 2-1 loss to Indiana Aug. 29 was accepted as an instance of bad luck, but a sluggish 4-1 defeat to Notre Dame Sunday left Duke frustrated. Now, the Blue Devils look to increase their work ethic and boost their quality of play in the final third of the game. “We’re looking for consistency,” Kerr said. “We’re looking to get back to the kind of work-rate and effort that we had against Indiana and put that right, as we didn’t do that well enough against Notre Dame.” For junior goalkeeper Brendan Fitzgerald, the Harvard game is a chance for redemption from last weekend’s performance against Notre Dame. “One game was better than the other,” said Fitzgerald, who started for the first time at the end oflast season. “I was happy with Indiana. I made the right decisions. My preparation was spot on. And then, be it just lack of experience, b>ut my mental preparation for the Notre Dame game probably wasn’twhat I wanted it to be.” Between the bitter Notre Dame loss and today’s Harvard contest, Duke has had five days of preparation. And although it’s Kerr’s first game against his old squad, the players themselves are still the ones that will have to take control on the pitch. “It’s all a part of the learning curve,” Fitzgerald said. “[The lack of focus] won’t happen again, put it that way.”

Juniorcaptain Lauren Millerand the Blue Devils take on more top talentthis weekend in lowa City, lowa.
But Dickinson and the Blue Devils’ offense will unquestionably have their hands full with a stalwart American defense that has yet to give up a goal this season. The captain, however, seems unphased. “We take every game one gameat a timeand we concentrate on playing our game,” Dickinson said. “We don’tfocus on what they’re doing. We work on what our game plan is.” And while the offense is the primary point of concern for the weekend’s first game, the focus will shift back to the defensive end for Sunday’s tilt with lowa. Against the Hawkeyes, the Blue Devils will have their hands full with last week’s Big Ten Player of the Week, Caidin McCurdy. McCurdy was recognized for her instrumental role in a victory over defending national champion and top-ranked North Carolina, as she scored two secondhalf goals to lead an lowa comeback. Junior defender and co-captain Lauren Miller respects McCurdy’s talent but said she is more than ready for the matchup. “Caidin McCurdy has always been one of the most talented players and she’sjust a great player all around,” Miller said. “I think you’re justalways focusing on your game and if you bring your best and she plays her best, then you just hope that you’re ready for her.” And if Duke can master its play on both sides of the ball, it might be able to snag two wins against top-15 opponents—giving the Blue Devils the start they were originally expecting and putting them in a position to resume their quest to make the Final Four after missing out in 2007.

FOOTBALL from page 1 Along the same lines, Duke is not planning on slowing down the tempo, especially in light
ofits effectiveness in a 31-7 rout of the Dukes last Saturday. After being chidedfor their conditioning level in the preseason by new head coach David Cutcliffe, theBlue Devils now feel they can run with any of their opponents’ defenses, including Northwestern’s. “The key to this offense is getting the ball out of your hand quick,” Lewis said. “It’s an advantage because it doesn’t matter if you are playing against the best defensive line in the world—if you get it out quicker than they can get to you, that’s a good deal right there.” And Northwestern might be endorsing the same approach. The two teams will resemble each other on the field not in terms of uniform color, but with regard to strategy. Like the Blue Devils, Northwestern runs a no-huddle, high-octane offense and placed a tremendous focus on conditioning in the offseason. The Wildcats have proclaimed themselves “the best-conditioned team in the country,” a title the Blue Devils would like to contest. “They are very fast on offense like we are,” said Cutcliffe, who has campaigned for even more fans than the 32,571 that packed Wallace Wade last week in the rain. “They are going to move the ball and get back on the ball and get ready to play rather quickly. And our team will be tested. I am kind of excited about it. Let’s see what the conditioning level is like for both teams.” Duke is certainly aware of Northwestern’s offensive potency. In the Blue Devils’ 20-14 win over the Wildcats in Evanston, 111., last year—their only win of the season
and the defeat that kept Northwestern out of a bowl game—the home team amassed over 500 yards ofoffense despite losing star running back Tyrell Sutton due to injury. The two teams now have completely new looks, as Duke overhauled most ofits coaching staffand the Wildcats also boast first-year offensive and defensivecoordinators. And yet, Sutton is still the driving force behind a potent Northwestern offense. The Akron, Ohio native already has two 1000-yard seasons on his resume, and amassed an impressive 1,474 yards in 2005. That year, Sutton received Big Ten Freshman of theYear honors. To keep the Wildcats’ signature offense under control, the Blue Devils plan to stay at home and not overpursue Northwestern’s skill position players, including thirdyear starter CJ. Bacher. “We are just playing assignment football basically,” senior linebacker Michael Tauiliili said. “They have some talented running backs and a quarterback who can throw the ball around a little bit, but one thing we noticed is that they are a quick, fast-paced offense. They like to get right back up off the ground and get right to the line and run another play. So that’s what we’re working on—getting down and getting ready for the next play and continuing to go hard every play.” And while last year’s game, offseason changes and strategic approaches could have an impact on the game, neither team will be able to truly gauge how good it is until the final whistle blows Saturday night. “Everyone has their own motivation,” Tauiliili said. “We can’t control how they are going to come in. All we can do is control how prepared we are and how we play on the field, and that’s all we’re going to do.”

Kansas State, before sweeping the tournament finale against Tennessee State. Despite the pair of losses, though, Duke is confident in its ability to bounce back. “[Purdue and Kansas State] exposed more things to us than if we were playing somebody that we would just dominate,” Nagel said. “Instead of learning them three weeks from now, we were able to pick up on some really important things and we’re working on those in practice. I think it was a positive experience.” The Blue Devils will look to keep that attitude over the next two days in order to defend their home turf. Junior Rachael Moss, who was named to the All-Tournament team last weekend after contributing 40 kills in the three matches, will attempt to keep up her hot play, as will seniors Jourdan Norman and Sue Carls. Nourman recorded 14 blocks in the tournament, and Carls tallied 15 kills. While several put up impressive numbers, the players aren’t expecting one standout performer this year. “This last weekend, I can really see that this year is going to be a complete team effort,” Carls said. “Everyone is really involved. I think that’s a great asset of our team.”
coach Dan Brooks said. “They’re all really excited to play; they all got out there and produced in the qualifier we just had, so it’ll be good to get up there and see how it
goes.”
The team’s practice at the Duke Uniset up the Blue Devils for Caves Valley’s challenges—especially considering the similaritiesbetween the two tracks. “It all depends on how the rough is,” Brooks said. “Fortunately, we have a very difficult golf course here at Duke. The course the last few days has had really deep rough, and we have narrow fairways, so I think that is preparing us well. If the rough is deep up there, it’ll probably play into our hands a little bit. “I’m absolutely looking forward to it. I’m excited for this season.”

No. 12 Duke seeks to avenge NCAA tourne loss bv Lucas Nevola THE CHRONICLE
Three games into 2008, Duke has yet to allow a goal. But this weekend, for the first time all year, the Blue Devils will face off against the type ofelite competition they are used to. No. 15 Duke (3-0) takes the field with Kenlucky (1- ) Friday at 5 p.m. and No. 5 Notre Dame (3-0) Sunday at Kentucky 1 p.m. at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill as part of the Carolina Classic. And foraying into No. 12 the meat of the schedDuke ule is a challenge the FRIDAY, 5 Blue Devils are willing Chapel Hil to accept—especially when it comes to Notre No. 5 Dame, the team that ND eliminatedDuke in the national quarterfinals of the NCAA tournaNo. 12 ment last season. Duke think “People SUNDAY, 1 p.m. Notre Dame’s going Chapel Hill to win the game,” head coach Robbie Church said. “Let’s go and play.” The Fighting Irish advanced to the Final Four by virtue of their win over the Blue Devils last year and have averaged more than two and a half goals per game in seven of the last nine campaigns. Nine starters return from a team that tallied 19 wins in 2007. Naturally, Duke is intent on slowing Notre Dame’s offensive firepower. “We always go into games looking for shutouts,” Church said. |

Led by senior defender Christie McDonald, the No. 12 Blue Devils take on their toughest competition of the year this weekend at the Carolina Classic in Chapel Hill. “There’s no pressure letting that first goal in, but [a shutout] definitely is the goal,” senior defender Christie McDonald said. The Blue Devils have blanked all three of their opponents so far this season, highlighted by a 9-0 win over Coastal Carolina and a 4-0 win over Campbell in which the defense did not allow a shot on goal. Most recently, Duke shut out UNCGreensboro Sunday. The Spartans made the NCAA tournament in 2007. And while Kentucky and Notre Dame are the opponents on die field, die Blue Devils

ing from the bleachers—tournament host and Duke nemesis North Carolina. The Tar Heel fans have a history ofmaking their hostile feelings about the Blue Devils abundantly clear. “[UNC] usually watches part of our game,” McDonald said. “Their fans start coming in at the end of the game and... let us know they’re there.” Sophomore Gretchen Miller, who played two games in the annual Carolina Classic last season, echoed her teammate’s
“Every time we messed up they would boo us,” Millersaid. “We want to showthem that we’ll be ready.” While winning an early-season tournament would be a mental boost, Church downplayed the significance of the location, claiming that Duke has more important things to worry about—its second opponent, for one. “Notre Dame’s an elite team in the country... our goal is to win this tournament,” Church said. “We can’t control what Carolina does.”

Panda on the Plaza An example of a sensible change is the move to make perennially popular Sitar available six days a week in the Great Hall, in clear response to high student demand. On the other hand, the choice of Panda Express is a large-scale mistake, involving expensive renovations and suggesting willful ignorance of what students want and what Duke dining could be. Not to mention, the Panda Express debacle is just the latest and most conspicuous in a string ofbroken promises. Last February, Wulforst also promised to add three dining options on East over the summer, including a juice bar in Brodie Recreation Center, a 24-hour diner above the Marketplace and a late-night pizzaand-sub station inside the East

in play here: First, I don’t think I have any idea of what we (Duke students/the Duke community) ade a. sawyer care about right maybe it’s me now; second, I am deeply, deeply bored with the presidential campaign. So in lieu of potentially boring you to pieces (or driving you away), I’ve decided to do something a little different. I had a list of potential things to talk about that I accumulated over the summer, but then I lost it—long, arduous story. But anyway, I figured that because I don’t know which one to do in a full-length column, I’ll just give you a few of them and frame them as my random thoughts/musings/ ponderings from the summer. Here we go. ACES. Seriously? I’m all for upgrades, but just because something is different doesn’t mean that it’s better. Plus, we give Duke too much money to be ignored. President Richard Brodhead recently gave his signature in support of the Amethyst Initiative, which advocates for a reduction of the drinking age in the United States. Thank you. Eighteen-yearolds are not going to stop drinking any tirne soon. Institutions like universities and governments can only regulate drinking to the best of their ability. It’s kind of difficult to regulate something that you can’t even legally recognize. The Olympics. I guess it’s because I’m a little older now that I suddenly realize the Olympics really has little to do with bringing diverse people together. As I watched NBC’s coverage, I felt like I was watching a spectacle intended to convince me ofAmerica’s greatness and then reinforce the idea, rather than showcase the world’s talented athletes. Of course it’s natural for us to root for our country’s athletes; I’m just saying it got a little gratuitous at times. It also seemed like there was a strong anti-China sentiment in the coverage, which I thought was exhibited even before the games began. It’s true that China’s humanitarian record is dubious, so I understand that, but a few things seemed a little crazy. What really struck me though was the fact that every mention ofChina’s -

Union building. The year has started, and nothing has materialized. Unfortunately, this failure to make good on grand plans isn’t news; it’s history— Wulforst has been promising to install a Quenchers-like juice bar in Brodie gym since March 2004. Admittedly, the typical Duke student dining wish list is long. To start, students need to eat seven days a week, and decent weekend options, particularly Sunday brunch options, would be great But wishers have reason to be wary—although quick to make promises, Dining Services has been slow to deliver. For now, Wulforst is eating his words. And until he starts sticking to promises he can keep, students will be stuck eating takeout
lead in the number of gold medals was tempered by mentioning that they targeted sports where many medals were available. Honesdy, it’s not that serious. We’re a superpower, we don’t need to hate on teen Chinese gymnasts. Russia-Georgia. I don’t feel like rehashing the story. There are plenty of accusations flying around about who attacked whom first and why it happened, etc. I just want to mention one thing. Late last week Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin claimed that there were U.S. operatives in the combat zone while the conflict was hot, and he suggested that it might have been intended tohelp one of the presidential candidates. Sen. John McCain jumped on that issue while Sen. Barack Obama was on vacation. I’m not saying any of it is true, in fact it’s probably not., but I’m just saying... the current administration has done a-lot of shady stuff; potentially including war crimes... so I mean... maybe... maybe... I don’tknow. Here’s another thing that’s been bothering me lately (this one might be a real column someday). There’s an often-paraphrased quote from Ben Franklin which essentially says that those who would trade their freedom for safety deserve neither. It’s a personal favoriteof mine at the moment. Lately I’ve been struck frequently by seemingly Orwellian tactics that the government has used in the name of the War on Terror. (Please excuse my lack of examples. I’m running out of space.) For decades there’s been tension between the executive’s

I think back to a statement that Vice President Dick Cheney made shortly after 9/11, when he said America would have to work the Mark side” in order to defeat terrorism. Through measures like the Patriot Act, warrantless wiretapping, Gitmo and others, it seems that some of the government is firmly planted on the dark side. I wonder though; If we cede American liberties, what is there to protect? Maybe it’s me. Ade A. Sawyer is a Trinity junior. His column runs every otherFriday.

New DSG referendum is worthwhile To call the new Duke Student Government referendum “fiscally irresponsible” is ridiculous. Here we have a DSG who is very aware of the current financial situation. Duke’s funding of student groups is lacking for two key reasons: There are more groups than ever on campus, and costs for these groups are higher. In the last ten years, Duke has seen the number of student groups sharply increase, without ever adding a single undergraduate. Therefore, every student group gets a smaller piece of the pie. Second, costs of products and services are higher. These two phenomena tax the system and make it so student groups are struggling. At least 60 percent of the new referendum will go to student groups in the first year (and this will increase after we’ve purchased the three DSG projects). This money for student groups is necessary. Last year, Hoof ‘n’ Horn received money for 50 percent of a sewing machine, simply because the funds had run out This
moneyis not going to DSG. Itis going to the annual budgets of student groups as well as the programming fund. In short, raising the student activities fee helps all students through these groups. Student groups have a valuable niche on campus. They perform and entertain, facilitate discussions, play athletics and publish magazines. Additionally, the right to join any of these groups is an entidement granted to every Duke student The new referendum has sound legislation behind it—how much of the money is going where. It’s interesting that no one is decrying the spending of the Duke University Union, who receives just as much money and is completely independent, with committees deciding what students want DSG transparently allocates money to student groups for what they clearly need, and there is no better way to spend this money than on the groups themselves.

On the hidden benefits of laboratories
By
far, the greatest thing about having an undergradmy own key to a lab
uate research job is having I feel that most un-
dergraduates with similarjobs do not utilize this resource to the extent that I do. Too bad for them. It holds many hidden benefits—some ofwhich may get me into trouble—but here it goes anyway True life: I am a lab rat. SChwaitZ And I mean that iiuhe same manner as someone would you’re Welcome say “gym rat." Not like, peopie perform experiments on me and mutate me and stuff. Maybe in my next Job. I’m in my lab right now, in the middle of the night, typing this column. Why? Because my laptop is a piece ofcrap and just died for the third time in the past few months.' But this is beside the point, because I do in fact come here at sketchy hours of the night of my own free will often enough. I’ll bring some books and some caffeine and work in my preferred type of environment (distraction-rich) straight into the wee hours of the morning, occasionally taking a break from my schoolwork to do some PCR or

something. It is fortunate for my coworkers that there is no couch in the lab’s computer room, or else I would likely move in there. Or at least crash here some nights. “B-b-but Jonathan, Duke paid millions of dollars so you could have libraries to study in!” Nah. Libraries give me the creeps. Humans should not be grouped together in environments where they are discouraged to verbally communicate, period. I know this because, much like dogs sniffing one another’s butts, humans have a primal need to interact with one another on some level, and the primary oudet for this need in libraries is to creepily stare at other library-goers. Particularly when I wish to indulge myself with a simplistic Internet game, a humorous YouTube video, Facebook or anything else that allows me to break from my main task after successfully typing a single sentence, this setting becomes both annoying and embarrassing. Relocating to the lab was an easy call. I got this job my junior year with the dual intentions of earning some money and finally getting some research experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed the work, although people are generally disappointed after I tell them I sequence genes offruit bats from Madagascar, only to soon find out that I only extract the DNA from tiny tissue samples in strip tubes, bearing zero resemblance to cohesive flying mammals. But the lab unexpectedly fulfilled another hole in my life.
Since I came to Duke, I have not had any privacy. This isn’t anybody’s fault in particular; it’s just that every year I’ve had to share a room with some other dude. As the type of person who requires about eight hours a day of time alone (not even kidding), it’s been a little rough. My freshman year I was in one of those awkward situations in which my roommate and I sat back to back and didn’t say anything to each other all day long. I realized soon that this awkwardness was because although college did not allow me to ever be by myself, being in my room was the closest it got, so I naturally adapted by pretending that my roommate didn’t exist (note to freshmen: don’t do that). You’d think that after finally moving off West Campus, I’d have secured a good apartment early on, right? Nope. I put it off, and now I’m stuck with one of the 15 worst apartments on Central—gag—a studio. But now that I have my magic key, I don’t mind anymore. I have a sanctuary. This is better than working with live fruit bats or even having a functional laptop. This is peace. But if you’re ever driving on Science Drive late at night and you see a light on in the third floor of Bio Sci, give me a honk. It does get a little lonely sometimes.

Eating good in the neighborhood
As
I sat in the Carpenter Reading Room overlooking the Chapel, the rain began to pour down and “Explosions in the Sky” played on my iPod, forcing me to have a cliched, movie-like reflective moment about my summer. Summer is a time of hot women in bathing suits, no school, beaches and pools (with hot women in bathing suits), camps and badass movies (as you can tell (IrCW CVGrSOII ty my tagline I kinda liked 1 he Dark Knight”). A time why SO serious? tor skinny-dipping (one of my past times, although my tan lines beg to differ), cruises, beers with lime in it (even hud Light this time around!) and allowing our minds to relax and forget everything we learned in school. But to Dukies summer is a valuable time to build your resume and do something cool for the world. Like helping Somalian refugees that lost limbs to land mines. Or winning a bronze medal at the Beijing Summer Olympics in fencing (congratulations Becca Ward). Some even worked wnh companies that find new ways to ensnare the lower _
class in the vicious cycle of poverty by helping establish a corporatist social structure in Latin American nations. Those are my favorite. My summer went a little differently. I waited tables at Applebee’s, your friendly, “Neighborhood” Grill & Bar, in Greenville, S.C. I dealt with wonderful people. One coworker was a 50year-old career waitress with a tongue ring who constantly reminded me that LSD is a wonderful drug. Another was a high school dropout who claimed she was “too smart for school.” I told her I was a student at Duke University and she asked, “What is that?” One young man would do lines ofcoke while dropping a deuce. All would complain about having to work so many hours, then complain about how they did not get enough hours and needed to make more money. Not to mention the customers. One lady ordered a “Hawaiian Chicken Salad” which doesn’t exist, so I prompted, “Do you mean the ‘Oriental Chicken Salad?’” to which she replied, “I knew it was from another country!” And she was one ofmy more intelligent-sounding customers. Some even made Forrest Gump look like Good Will Hunting. The job is very mundane. Ask for orders, deliver the food, bring the check. So I thought of ways I could spice things up. With one table I acted like a butler, using a Brit-
ish accent and replying, “As you wish” to each of their requests. Another, I acted like a washout stand-up comedian, delivering horrendous jokes and announcing I would be here all night. And you better believe I was singing along every time the Backstreet Boys came on the radio. Some ofmy more homophobic tables seemed to dislike that. Especially when I began to take off my shirt and give a lap dance to the kid in the high chair. In-b£tween the shifts, I made sure I spent my time well. I reread the last Harry Potter. And rewatched all the movies. I became an expert at using TiVo to maximize the number of sitcom reruns I could watch. I can play all the Rock Band instruments on expert, and I don’t even like playing Rock Band. I watched the Olympics, then watched the reruns of the same events two hours later. Let’s just say I now truly understand the song “Longview” by Green Day. So when people ask what I did this summer, I kindly reply absolutely nothing of any worth. But I hope I made some people smile along the way. But the summer was nonetheless valuable. I took away one great lesson: Don’t drop out of school and become a waiter at Applebee’s for the rest ofyour life. Drew Everson is a Trinity sophomore. His column runs every otherFriday.
