President Richard Brodhead delivered the Annual Report of the University to the Academic Council Thursday, noting the impact of the recent financial crisis and describing plans to expand Duke’s brand

globally.

Brodhead began the report by addressing the financial University’s situation in light of the economic climate. He read a statement, which was later e-mailed to the rest of the University, in which he said Duke has a “strong financial foundation.” Brodhead described Duke’s situation as “stable and secure.” “Duke has always been a place of outrageous ambition, and we must sustain our forward movement* even in what we hope will be a temporary dislocation in the global economy....

Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Mangum broke a lengthy media silence Thursday, releasing a memoir today and maintaining that she was assaulted at a party in March 2006. In a press conference at the Know Bookstore & Restaurant near North Carolina Central University, Mangum—accompanied by Vincent Clark, her agent and co-author of the book, “The Last Dance for Grace”—spoke briefly and took questions from the three dozen reporters packed into the venue before being whisked away. “This is very difficultfor me, but this is something that I have to do,” a subdued and sometimes tearful Mangum said. “God has given me the grace and the courage to stand up. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted, regardless of their profession.” And later, during a question-and-answer period, Mangum said she maintained that she had been sexually assaulted while performing as an exotic dancer at a March 13, 2006 party at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. She refused to discuss other specific questions about the case. Mangum declined to answer questions about whether she believes the three former members of the men’s lacrosse team indicted in the case were innocent or when and how often she met with disgraced former Durham

Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. JoeBiden speaks in Ra-

leigh Thursday, criticizing Republican John McCain's economic policies.

RALEIGH; N.C. Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden spent the day Thursday barnstorming North Carolina, now considered by many to be a crucial swing state in the upcoming presidential election. Nearly 3,000 people came out to hear Biden speak at Meredith College in Raleigh—the last of his three campaign stops within the state. “I know that North Carolina is NASCAR country,” Biden said. “So let me use some NASCAR terms to describe this race. Right now, our campaigns are trading paint.” North Carolina’s status as a swing state is a departure from the state’s electoral history. President George W. Bush won North Carolina in both the 2000 and 2004 general election by double digits, and the state has not voted Democratic since 1976. “I think it [the race] is very exciting,” N.C. resident Lora Evans said. “I can feel the shift in people who are SEE BIDEN ON PAGE 11

US cuts off trade deal with Bolivia

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico The U.S. is suspending a trade deal with Bolivia, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday. She called it unfortunate but necessary because Bolivian President Evo Morales has failed to improve anti-drug efforts. Rice made the announcement as Bolivian envoys arrived at the U.S. Trade Representative's office in Washington to lobby for continued participation in the Andean trade pact, which lowers U.S. tariffs for Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. The suspension will raise U.S. tariffs on imports of Bolivian jewelry, textiles, wood and other products.

Greenspan deniesblame for crisis

Badgered by lawmakers,forWASHINGTON mer Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan denied that the nation's economic crisis was his fault on Thursday but conceded the meltdown had revealed a flaw in a lifetime of economic thinking and left him in a "state of shocked disbelief." Greenspan, who stepped down in 2006, called the banking and housing chaos a "once-in-a-century credit tsunami" that led to a breakdown in how the free market system functions. He warned that things would get worse before they get better, with rising unemployment and no stabilization in housing prices for "many months."

David Sanger, chief Washington D.C. correspondent for The New York Times, spoke Thursday on “Bush Foreign Policy Legacy,” discussing President George W. Bush’s foreign policy for the past eight years and what the next president will inherit Speaking to an audience of approximately 50 people in the Sanford Institute for Public Policy, Sanger also talked about his experiences as a Washington correspondent during the Clinton and Bush administrations. His appearance, part of the Von Der Heyden Lecture Series, was co-sponsored by The American Grand Strategy Program, the Department of Political Science and the Triangle Institute for Security Studies. In his discussion of Bush’s foreign policy, Sanger focused on Afghanistan, North Korea and Iran, citing missed opportunities for the United States to develop

stronger diplomatic relationships in all three nations. The war in Iraq drained resources that the United States needed in order to deal with the North Korean and Iranian nuclear threats and maintain the initial stability in Afghanistan, Sanger said. He praised the Bush administration for the six-party talks with North Korea, which he said was one of Bush’s greatest accomplishments as President. “This was about building some kind of way to manage problems in Asia that we’ve never had before,” Sanger said. Still, he criticized the Bush administration for foreign policy failures that he said would influence the next administration, adding that the current administration should have directed attention to North Korea earlier but was distracted by the invasion of Iraq.

Campus Council members participated in lengthy discussions reviewing the sophomore year experience at their weekly meeting Thursday. Members debated whether or not rising sophomores should have the option to live on Central Campus. University policy typically allows sophomores to live only on West Campus, although they were permitted to live on Central this year because ofFew Quadrangle renovations. A survey conducted with a small sample of 25 sophomores living on Central this year found that 80 percent of them preferred living there to West Campus. “If there is a minority [of sophomores that prefer Central]. We should see if the minority can be helped,” said Campus Council Vice PresidentKevin Thompson, a senior. Members considered whether such a provision would helpthe minority of sophomores who want to live on Central more than ithurts the majority of students who would not have the opportunity to interact with all members of their class. “The sophomore year experience is designed as a continuation of [freshman year],” said Campus Council Treasurer Sean Puneky, a junior. “I definitely feel that if we were allowing sophomores to live on Central, then it would cause a breakdown in the sophomore experience. I feel like it is essential to the Duke experience in general.” Some members noted that international students may prefer apartment-style living so they can prepare their own meals. “There are some people that might prefer to live on Central instead of West sophomore year,” said sophomore Kevin Geek, an at-large representative. “I think that we need to explore how many people [feel that way] and whether it is a viable option for them.” Everyone agreed to table the discussion in favor of SEE CAMPUS ON PAGE 10

About 300 Durham eighth graders got a look at what their days in college might be like, gathering in Cameron Indoor Stadium Thursday for Duke’s ninth annual “School Days.” Duke students and staff as well as Durham teachers and parents were on hand to show these middle schoolers what college is like and why they should strive to attend. “What are your dreams?” the opening speaker asked of the eager audience before the touring began, to show them the breadth of opportunities that higher education affords. School Days, a program backed by President Richard Brodhead, showed the students around campus to give them a better idea of the tangible benefits going to college can bring to their lives.

Home Program Director Jim Gaston during a luncheon at the North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh Thursday. “We’re very honored,” Gaston said. “The Smart Home is a tremendous project, and it fits in with the University’s sustainable initiative as a whole.” Gaston, who is in his first year as Smart Home director, succeeded former director Tom Rose, Pratt ’O5 who also attended the award ceremony.

Senior Scott Steinberg, president of the Smart Home program, said the award came as no surprise to him considering the progress the project has made. Smart Home opened last Fall and was awarded a LEED platinum rating over the summer. “We started a good program, and the public is aware of it,” he said.

Amid the largest financial downturn since the Great Depression, Durham may be an ideal location to ride out the storm, with BusinessWeek ranking Durham the third-best city in the nation to weather the economic crisis. One of the factors in the Bull City’s high ranking was its many employers spreading across many sectors of the economy. According to Business Week, 45.5 percent of jobs will be unaffected or “safe” from the financial situation. Approximately 18 percent of jobs in Durham are in healthcare, and 14 percent are in education, Other areas of employment include professional, scientific, government and technical jobs, according to the magazine. “One thing that we have here is a wide variety of industry here that operate on a global level,” said Sheena Johnson, director of communications and marketing at the Durham Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has assisted in $7OO million ofinvestment for company development and relocation, Johnson said. But designating the Triangle as a great place to live appears to be nothing new, and the area has long been a top destinationfor relocation. “[Durham is] a college town that’s close to other economically vibrant college towns and is commuting distance to state government jobs in Raleigh, the state capital,” BusinessWeek wrote in its Oct. 14 article about riding out the recession. “The Durham area also has six hospitals and the Research Triangle Park, the largest research park in the world.”

MANGUM from page 1 law and could not abide by anyone being wrongly accused and put on trial.” Professor ofLaw Thomas Metzloff said Mangum is theoretically open to civil suits for wrongful prosecution, but is unlikely to be sued because she does not have the means to make a large payoff. Sales success for the memoir could change that, though. “I suppose if it turns into a New York Times bestseller, you certainly could [sue her],” Metzloff said. ‘You could have libel and slander claims. When she doesn’t leave it alone, I’m sure there’s some frustration to have it come up again. I hope it doesn’t stir others to reopen it. There’s enough going with the lawsuits that we don’t need this too.” Although some said the book’s publication could draw criticisms of profiteering off a false accusation, Clark and Mangum both said they did not publish the book to make money. Clark added that by his estimates, the book would have to sell about 50,000 copies to break even, and that he and Denisoff have worked on the project pro bono. Clark provided excerpts from the book to the media ahead of the event, including an introduction by himself and two chapters.

In a Thursday press conference to preview her memoir, Crystal Mangum (center) maintained that she was assaulted at a lacrosse party in March 2006.

“Crystal and I both believe in the rule of law and could not abide by anyone being wrongly accused and put on trial.” Vincent Clark, Crystal Mangum’s agent and co-author In the memoir, written in a raw and honest style but often

peppered with typos, Mangum says she felt compelled to tell her story in the face of whatshe felt were misrepresentations. “When I spoke, I was accused of changing my story repeatedly,” she wrote. “I emphasize now that the story has never changed. The fact is I did not make it to court to state my case because the focus became one of discrediting

me and exposing my personal life instead of finding the truth. So I am left to defend myself.” In the first excerpted chapter of the book, Mangum tells of being raped by a boyfriend at age 14 and of a 1993 gang rape in Creedmoor. As reports revealed in May 2006, Mangum initially pressed charges in the case, but charges were dropped when she failed to follow up with police. Her father told media in 2006 that no rape had occurred. Much of the press conference was dominated by Clark, a former columnist for the Chapel Hill News who runs fire! Films and Books and published the book. Clark railed against the media circus that he said dragged Mangum through the mud. Clark said he hopes to see the Durham community move on and leave the case alone. “Let her continue her life, stop the constant blogs,” he said. “Sadly, we have come to a standstill in the healing process. No one seems to be able to tune out the still-con-

blogs. Forget the newspaper columnists, disregard the radio talk-show hosts, disregard the talking heads on the cable TV shows.” He also accused CNN and NBC, among other outlets, of refusing to run interviews with Mangum when they found her to be a put-together college student. “I have talked on the record with hundreds of reporters,” Clark said. “Not one was willing to come to class with Crystal, not one was willing to come to church with Crystal.” Several reporters engaged Clark in a heated exchange after the press conference, saying they would have been more than happy to interview Mangum if given the chance. Mangum has not spoken to the media since granting an interview to The (Raleigh) News & Observer shortly after the party in spring of 2006. Mangum, who graduated from NCCU in May, said she hopes to enroll in a Ph. D. program at the University of Georgia and later open a home for troubled young women. slant

SANGERfrom pages resources from efforts in Afghanistan, hesaid. Sanger also discussed the unusual attitude that the Bush administration had toward the press. “In the Bush White House, the press secretary, in most cases, was the last to know [about breaking stories]," he said. In order to obtain information about the decisions being made within the Bush administration, Sanger said the press had to rely on members of Congress and foreign leaders, who often spoke anonymously. “If reporters could run the world, everyone would be on the record,” he said. “We don’t have a desire to use anonymous sources... the truth of a matter is that it impinges on the credibility of what you’re writing;” Sanger faulted the Bush administration’s unwillingness to release information to the press for negative characterizations of Bush. “[President] Bill Clinton wouldn’t stop talking,” Sanger said. “It enabled [the media] to explain the way

[the administration] approached problems... and what’s better for the country is a White House that can explain their views.” He added that Bush appeared to be less informed because the press had far less access to his decision-making process Sanger also weighed in on the role of the media in the current election and its coverage of past events. “Boy, could we do a better job. Absolutely,” he said of the news media. He defended the current coverage of the presidential elecdon and the coverage of the War in Iraq as fair and balanced, but he said the media should have more thoroughly examined the intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. “We ran some very lengthy investigative pieces on Jraq,” Sanger said when asked whether or not The New York Times had adequately covered the human cost of the war. He also said he believed the portrayal of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in The Times had been fair.

from page 1 These cigarettes can’t be smoked—they are from another era, one that passed long before the coming of the Washington Duke & Inn. But the specter of “W. Duke Sons Co.” still shines over the Inn that was built in 1988 to carry on the family’s tradition. Duke University’s own luxury hotel turns 20 today, but those two decades barely scratch the surface of the history it holds. Since it opened in October 1988, the Washington Duke Inn—or the “WaDuke,” as students have affecdonately deemed it—has hearkens back to the tradition of Durham’s famed Washington Duke Hotel by packing its restaurants and hallways with Duke family heirlooms and pieces of the University’s history snatched from its archives. The lobby exudes the Dukes’ tobacco-leaf affluence at the first step inside: busts of the Dukes down the hallway, a full-size portrait of Ambassador Angier Biddle Duke, Washington Duke’s gold-capped cane as well as the patriarch’s custom-made desk. “We have language in our mission statement that says we will honor our Duke heritage,” General Manager Randy Rolls said. “It’s a great pastime for people to be able to wander through the hallways. It’s what sets the hotel apart from just another nice hotel.” But make no mistake; The WaDuke is a nice hotel. It has all the requisite reminders of wealth—the Rolls-Royce gliding into the loading dock, stopping between the first lion and the second lion; limousines rolling up to the main entrance, their drivers standing idly next to the equally idle doormen; the students scurrying through the halls rushing to make a 5 p.m. J.R Morgan recruitment event—an old-family manor converted to a world-class resort. The difference, of course, is that at most five-star hotels, college students cannot pay -

with food points. ‘Year after year we see an increase in the number of Duke points spent here—we see that the Duke population has wrapped its arms around us,” Rolls said. “They feel comfortable here, and we’re comfortable to have them. It’s a great two-way benefit.” The Fairview Dining Room and the Bull Durham Bar began accepting the DukeCard as payment for meals five years ago, Bressler said. He added that he sees the increased presence of students dining at the WaDuke as a sign that Duke has a student body with advanced taste. “The student population here is very sophisticated,” he said. “This provides the perfect setting for students to enjoy the sophistication they all have inside of them. They act like ladies and gentlemen, and we treat them like ladies and gendemen. We don’t treat them any different from any other guest, and they keep coming back in higher numbers.” And if sophistication among college students is rare, on-campus lodging as upscale as the WaDuke is rarer still, Bressler said. “I would say that a year doesn’t go by that we don’t get another campus coming in to use this as a vision for their own campus,” he said. “I thinkwe’re very well known. They come here to see how we do it. It’s a model. It’s special. It’s unique. As Randy likes to say, ‘This is the living room of the University.’” Even with the constant stream of notetaking admirers and potential copycats, a luxury hotel is not the typical venue for those first-day-at college cliches, and freshmen are often blind-sided by its opulence. “We hearthe ‘wow’ thing a lot from people coming here for the first time,” Rolls said. And for the northerners venturing below the Mason-Dixon for college, the Inn’s barrage of Southern charm—the white patio veranda flanking the well-coiffed green of the 18th hole, the notices in calligraphy for the formal-dress-required Afternoon *

The Washington Duke inn marks its 20th year since inception today. The five-star hotel features a bar and lounge and the upscale Fairview Dining Room—which accepts student food points. Tea—may come as a shock, Rolls said. Many of those getting their first impressions of Duke through the WaDuke’s 271 rooms and suites are the sought-after administrators, professors and exemplary students wooed by theTJniversity, Rolls said. “When Duke recruits its outstanding administrators, this is where these folks stay,” he said. “Certainly Dr. Brodhead stayed here when he visited. Dr. Dzau is the same way. Coach Cutcliffe stayed here. The purpose is to put the best foot forward and create a positive impression.” But these are not the only noteworthy guests at the hotel. Sen. Edward Rennedy stayed here while he was recuperating from his tumor surgery, and the last few months have seen Ratie Couric, Revin Costner and Peyton and Eli Manning all check into rooms. “We run the gamut from people who are instantly recognizable to captains of industry whoyou may not recognize,” Rolls said. “This

is a hotel that, because of Duke, will on any given day host the highest profile of people.” The WaDuke is owned by the University and employs 300 staff members. In 2005, a $25-million renovation added, among other improvements, 100 new rooms, a presidential suite, a second ballroom and a state-of-the-art conference center. Physical limitations may keep the WaDuke from expanding its walls anytime soon, but Rolls said his hotel will continue to treat Duke students, faculty and alumni in the same tradition in which the Duke family would have treated them at the original hotel more than 80 years ago. “Our mandate is to be always responsive to the needs of our customers, but not abandon the principles that got us where we are,” he said. “One of the neat things is watching alums come back, so the cycle continues. It’s pretty special for us to have them come back and reminisce.”

getting broader student feedback on the issue. Also at the meeting, Alspaugh House Council requested funding for Tents of Hope, a national organization that sends personalized tents to Darfur to be used for housing and schooling. Members agreed to fund the tent for the event, with only one member voting against it. They hope to set up a tent Nov. 2 on East Campus to be decorated by students. Before the vote, however, members debated over whether or not funding the sl,ooo-dollar tent was an appropriate use ofCampus Council funds. “My argument was that we’re using student activities funds to fund an item that will not remain on campus,” said sophomore Tommy O’Malley, a member of the Campus Council Finance Committee. There was also worry that spending much money for this event would take away from other events this semester. Puneky, however, said $B,OOO of the $19,000 allocated for this semester remains, noting that there is only month left for programming until finals.

Noting that Duke’s endowment saw a 6.2 percent increase in market value at the end of the last fiscal year, Brodhead said Duke would continue its commiunent to providing need-blind admissions and financial aid that meets 100 percent of students’ demonstrated need. He added that Duke is within $2 million of achieving millioH' fundraising"'goal for the Financial Aid Initiative, launched in 2005. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask discussed the factors that have allowed the University to largely weather the crisis. He said Duke primarily holds investments in foreign markets, which were affected but not ruined by the downturn. The University will not have to significantly change its spending patterns in response to the crisis, he added. Trask said economic problems have not had a drastic effect on Duke’s financial situation. He said he did not anticipate any changes in Duke’s debt or equity, unless another catastrophic event occurs. Brodhead continued his annual report with a discussion of what Duke’s physical location means to the University’s global presence, and he described how Duke’s “location” is changing. Brodhead said though the Durham campus will always be “Duke’s mothership,” the University is expanding across the nation and the globe to the benefit of all. “The Duke of today has the peculiarity that it is both centered in one place and connected seemingly everyplace,” Brodhead said. “And this means that to go to Duke nowadays means both to come here and be at home here, and by virtue ofyour Duke connection, to be initiated into an extraordinarily complicated global network.” Focusing on expansion and connections, Brodhead addressed plans for New Campus as well as Duke’s continued movement into Durham. He noted that 1,800 people and jobs will be moved from campus to downtown locations. Brodhead called the University’s expansion a positive and necessary process for Duke to remain a top institution. “A university that once moved its site in order to escape from isolation will not desire to create new, self-enclosed enclaves in foreign countries,” he said. “Duke will be more

She reminded council members that their voices are important in making decisions, and said to ensure that they continue to be heard. “Faculty-shared governance is an established principle at Duke University, and it works well, but it is something we cannot take for granted,” she said. The Academic Council also heard a brief presentation from Dr. Michael Merson, director of the Duke Global Health Institute, about the proposed Master of Science in Global Health program.

Biden told the crowd that now is the time for change, and that he and Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama are the best candidates to bring about that change. “I can say without fear of contradiction that this is the most important election of our lifetime. And what we need now is a change in direction.” Biden said. The economy, which according to polls is the number one issue for Americans in this up-coming election, was central in Biden’s speech. “In this election, everybody is asking the same question as they sit around the kitchen table; Is my house worth what I paid for it? Is my company going to send my job overseas? Am I going to be able to send my kid to college?” he said. Biden also linked McCain to Bush’s economic polices. McCain has attempted in his campaign to create distance between himselfand the outgoing President. “There is not one fundamental economic issue in which Sen. McCain has opposed George Bush,” Biden said. “I know we are not running against George Bush, but we are running against Bush economic policies that John McCain has supported.” Biden expressed his annoyance toward Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin’s remarks on the pro-American parts of the nation. All of America, he said, is patriotic. Chapel Hill’s Premier Comsigmmemt Boutique

“I was in Pueblo, Colorado a few days ago and let me tell you, Pueblo isjust as patriotic as North Carolina, North Carolina is just as patriotic as Delaware and Delaware is just as patriotic as Texas,” Biden said. “There are heroes in every state, in every city and in every town.” Biden also challenged what he believed to be the Republican’s false and negative attacks on Obama. “They lie about Barack Obama and they distort his record,” he said. “Barack Obama can take two more weeks of these attacks, but the American people cannot take four more years of these divisive politics.” Some Obama supporters said they are worried McCain’s attacks on Obama could hurt the Democratic candidate at the polls. The campaign, however, has been relying on new voters to give Obama the edge in this election. Supporters said they do' not think that low voter participation will be a problem this year. “I think it will really be different,” said Mandie Herbert, MAYA ROBINSON/THE CHRONICLE a junior at Meredith College. “There has been a big push to get people on campus to register and to vote.

THE CHRONICLE

This season has proved that there is no place like home for the Blue Devils. Duke returns from a successful road swing to finish its season with a four-game home stand beginning with ACC rival No. 19 Virginia Saturday at 7 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium. The Blue Devils (7-5-2, 2-2-2 in the ACC) have a winning record at home, with No. 19 y their only losses comUVa ing to then-No. 16 vs North Carolina and Florida Atlantic in Duke the aftermath of the loss to the Tar Heels. SATURDAY, 7 p.m. Despite their early Koskinen Stadium success at home—the two losses were Duke’s last two home contests —head coach John Kerr knows his team cannot afford to overlook the Cavaliers (8-4-1, 4-1). “It’s great to be back here for the end of the season —it puts us in a great position,” Kerr said. “That being said, we can’t take it for granted. We need to make sure we capitalize on the opportunity.”' And test is arguably Duke’s toughest of the remainder of the season. The Cavaliers are strong, physical and /

fast and could continue to challenge No. 1 Wake Forest for the top spot in the ACC with a win, Kerr said. Leading the charge for Virginia is freshman forward Tony Tchani, who ranks in the top 10 of the ACC in all relevant offensive statistical categories. But after facing some of the best teams in the country with some of the best forwards in the country, the Duke defensive unit knows it isup to the challenge. “We have played against teams with the same look as Virginia, with their marquee player up top,” said goalkeeper Brendan Fitzgerald, who has collected two consecutive shutouts. “We think our scheme is able to account for anything they might d0.... I just need to keep communicating to the backs, letting them know where the pressure is.” Fitzgerald also said the team feels a “sense of urgency” to obtain the outcomes it needs to finish the regular season on a high note. In an attempt to get those results, freshman defender Nick Sih was moved up top with senior Mike Grella in Duke’s 2-0 win over Elon Tuesday and managed to tally a goal. Sih played forward in high school, but admitted that it takes some time to become accustomed to playing up front again. And in order to re-establish its home-field advantage against a ranked opponent, Duke will need all the offensive help it can get.

Bozman sits on verge of 300th career victory For the second consecutive weekend, Duke plays two non-conference games against unranked opponents. Anticipation for this weekend’s slate, though, extends past the games themselves. The No. 4 Blue Devils (12-3) take on Appalachian State (2-13) Saturday at 1 p.m. and Longwood (8-9) Sunday at 1 p.m. at Williams Field, but other festivities will highlight the weekend. With two victories this weekend, Duke head coach Beth Bozman would reach the

300-win plateau for her career. Before Bozman can join North Carolina’s Karen Shelton and Maryland’s Missy Meharg in the 300-win club, though, she will see Williams Field re-dedicated to a donor Saturday. Duke enters the weekend set riding a six-game winning streak that dates back to Oct. 4 and includes a win over then-No. 1 Maryland Oct. 11. The Blue Devils’ lone home loss came against then-No. 5 North Carolina Sept. 27.

Adams won the starting quarterback job over senior Chris Nickson this season, but head coach Bobby Johnson has been using them both enough that Duke has prepared to see either. Each quarterback is adept at avoiding pressure in the pocket, but Adams has the added ability of being able to break away from the rush and take off down field for big gains. “We certainly have to find away to contain the QB in this game,” Cutcliffe said. “Both QBs can run and are effective throwing on the run.” On offense, the Blue Devils will emphasize the running game that showed life last weekend. After being held under 100 yards for three straight games—Duke only managed 34 against Georgia Tech—the Blue Devils rumbled for 142 yards against Miami. By focusing on the run, Duke hopes to set up the passing game, which will be throwing into the teeth of one of the fiercest secondaries in the SEC without two ofDuke’s leading receivers. Starting wideouts Raphael Chestnut and Austin Kelly are both sidelined for leg injuries sustained in the loss to the Hurricanes and will be replaced by true freshmen Johnny Williams and Donovan Varner. Led by first-team All-SEC comerback DJ. Moore, the Commodores have snagged 13 interceptions through just seven games, helping them to a plus-nine turnover ratio. Nevertheless, after a week of refocusing and gearing up for the second half of this season, Lewis remained positive that the Blue Devils can bounce back from their recent disappointments and keep their bowl-bid hopes alive. “I believe it’s very realistic,” running back Clifford Harris said of the team’s bowl chances. “A couple of games that we lost, they were real close. You still have to come out and play with intensity the rest of the season. It’s definitely realistic.”

W. SOCCER from page 15 was outshot 6-3 in the second half. The loss of Redmond, combined with playing conditions on an abnormally sized pitch, prevented Duke from lighting up the scoreboard “We were not able to overcome the wet weather and the rain all day,” Church said. “The ball was hard to control. It was skipping. Miami’s field is a very short and narrow field, and they were able to really use that to their advantage.” Duke did manage to outshoot Miami 6-2 in the overtime periods, but did not manage to score despite sending quality shots at Miami goalkeeperVikki Alonzo, who finished with five saves. Duke goalkeeper Cassidy Powers notched her sixth shutout, tallying four saves in the process. Injuries seem to be dominating Duke’s season of late. Freshman defender Ashley Rape did not play in the game after enduring an ACL injury in practice this week. Losing her and Redmond had the Blue Devils struggling to find players to take their spots. “We’re kind of in a tough stretch,” Church said. “Things have been fairly easy and we stayed away from injuries and scored a lot of goals, but right now, injuries are really stardng to pile up and we got a lot of people playing hurt. Like the aftermath of any storm, though, there are silver linings for the Blue Devils to examine before they take on Clemson on senior day Sunday at 2 p.m. and eventually round out their ACC slate. Powers rebounded from surrendering five goals in Duke’s 5-2 loss to Florida State Sunday, and Church still expects Redmond to return soon—just in time to proVide Duke with the offense it sorely lacked.

Leading scorer Elisabeth Redmond left Duke's tiewith Miami in the 30th minute with a leg injuryThursday. She will be evaluated further Friday.

Lighter and THE CHRONICLE

As parents begin to arrive on campus, the Blue Devils are preparing to greet two more guests in a jampacked weekend. But their 7 p.m. Friday encounter with Maryland and 7 p.m. Saturday tilt with Boston College at Cameron Indoor Stadium will be more pressure-packed than the typical family gathering. “This is our midway point for the whole year, so it’ll be a big boost to us if we can make it over the humps more or less with some wins,” senior Aana Wherry said. “We’re in a pretty good position right now to do some damage for the rest of the season.” Duke (15-6, 6-3 in the ACC) has not lost to the Terrapins since 2005 and remains undefeated all-time against the Eagles (6-15, 0-9). But if the Blue Devils hope to achieve back-to-back wins, as they did last weekend, they will have to play to their fullest potential, head coach Jolene Nagel said. “I don’t want to give [our opponents] anything to fuel their fire,” she said, adding that controlling the ball will be crucial in both matches. In the match against Maryland, the Blue Devils have to account for two factors: a new coach in Tim Horsmon and a deep roster, although that depth has not translated to victories yet this season. The Terrapins (5-16, 1-8) have lost their last eight contests.

“They had a coaching change, so they are a little different,” Nagel said. ’’They have some flexibility in how they line up.... It’s not like it’s the same six people all of the time.” Although Boston College’s coaching staff has not changed, Nagel said Duke will have to stand up to players that may have picked up their game in recent weeks. She added that it will be important for the Blue Devils to control the tempo of the game against the Eagles. “They dig a lot of balls, and will work hard on the defensive end of things,” Nagel said. “We’ve got to make sure to take care of the ball when it’s on our side.” In seven of the last eight contests, Duke has not allowed its opponents’ hitting averages to rise above .200. Wherry said although Maryland and Boston College are not as highly ranked as some ofDuke’s previous op 1 ponents, the team is still stressing efficiency and communication in the weekend doubleheader. “I look for both matches to be very important for us and critical to our season,” Nagel said.

Stricter recycling requirements for party organizers—especially those who live in campus sections—should be considered to curb irresponsibility.

the University to live comfortably closer to campus, proves that the University has made headway off campus as well as on. Increased bus access to Erwin apartments means that residents of these buildings do not need to rely solely on private vehicles. Extending the hours of the C-6 may help forward the goals of our public transportation programs. Yet the reality is that a large portion of Duke’s many employees commute to work alone, and, although we recognize the strides we have taken in the right direction —on transportation and other issues—we must continue to make innovaimtive and progressive provements in both policy and principle.

hi, society and smiles or b) obnoxious I’d saved all that good touristy stuff, like licking palace guards, to share with friend K, who is visititlg"from New York this week, but when we arrived at the gates of Buckingham Palace (a bit gaudy, I thought, with the unnecessary golden-winged babies and all) we were disappointed to discover that not only could we not prod the guards with the tips of our tongues but we could not even hope to prod them with the tips of our outstretched fingers. The guards were safe from our antics, standing a billionty meters (or 3.28 billionty feet) behind the baby-laden gates, which honestly seemed to be doing most of the guards’ jobs for them. They were so far away they looked like red ants exercising their ability to carry 50 times their weight with those ridiculous hats on their heads. Occasionally one of them would move a few steps to his left, which was exciting, but then he’d move right again and spoil it. This littleLondon let down didn’t put a damper on our afternoon, however. Although K and I both share an appreciation for and near proximity to New York City, our hearts have always been London’s, and the city can do no wrong. The London tube is cleaner than the New York subway, and although a disembodied soothing, English voice warns you to “mind the gap” getting off the tube, you’d have to be Kate Moss to fall in that groove. In New York, you have to get a running start off the train, and at the dodgier stations, you’re safest carrying a retractable pole vault.

London gets architecture, history, charm, colourand black cabs as spacious (and expensive) as renting your own bus New York gets rats large enough to eat a bus. It’s most likely one of those the-grass-is-greener things, but then again, that’s an unfair comparison because at leastLondon has grass. So although K and I had hoped to get a giggle from a guard, we were willing to accept and enjoy the palace for what it is (a really hideous building) . Of course, our standards are low considering New York tourist attractions can be summed up as climbing to the tops of things. But directing our attention to the next stop on our self-guided tour, we hit a snag. Or rather, I hit a European, though he turned out to be an angel in disguise. I was walking along a bit ofcurb with K, when I noticed a large man similarly balancing along the raised pavement and moving toward us in an efficient and determined manner. Assuming the best of his nature, I guessed he would eventually notice my presence, recognize the potential collision and remove himself from the curb, but in the most awkward instance of the game chicken ever, we both continued along our paths until we stood nose to nose. Then he stepped on me. Frightened and confused, K and I veered to the left, hurriedly shuffling away from the human bulldozer. We were trying to escape our shame when we stumbled upon a strange side gate guarded—on the outside—by the men in funny hats. K and I reverted back into silly Americans, and silly Americans with cameras. After we’d had our way with the guards, who can’t speak but might have been blinking SOS in Morse code, I mumbled an apology and then, in a brief moment of New York City pride, thought about adding a friendly hand gesture. After all, although we might have a love affair with London, New York has always been there for us, for better or for worse or for cravings for authentic and cheap Chinese food. But the man had a gun.

More than a cleaned up act

few years ago, a more ambitious columnist than I wrote an amusing parody of “The Wasteland.” And while she acknowledged that her poem didn’t quite reach the level of Eliot’s masterpiece, fear?. she pointed out that “the Unreal City” was a fairly apt epithet Oliver sherouse for Durham. Never is this more you tell me true than during Parents’ Weekend This is, after all, the one weekend a year when everybody forces themselves to be presentable. Even as you read this column, much of Duke’s undergraduate population is furiously scrubbing away the remnants of their Thursday festivities and imploring Google to instruct them in the proper use of an irbn. Out go the bottles of booze, the hookahs and, of course, the significant other; in their place go the thousand page textbooks, the lab manuals and the notebooks conveniently left open to a page with no doodles. All in all, an impressive transformation. Not that the students are the only participants in “Extreme Makeover Parents’ Weekend Edition,” of course. Every year students marvel at the fortuitous proliferation of flowers around this time. And my fellow seniors will fondly look back on the chocolate fountain that suddenly appeared in the Marketplace for Parents’ Weekend our freshman year (and disappeared just as suddenly on the following Monday). Let me put it bluntly for any parents who happen to pick up The Chronicle this weekend: What you see is not what we get. Or what we do. I hope you’re not too shattered. But as enjoyable as it is to poke fun at the absurd disparity between Duke this weekend and Duke last weekend or next, I don’t think it’s quite right to dismiss our abrupdy improved appearance as nothing but illusion. In fact, I think it’s one of the most telling, and even encouraging phenomena I’ve observed during my time here. The oft-quoted motto of the Duke student body is “work hard, play hard.” Or at least it used to be the slogan has taken something of a PR beating in recent years. I’m still quite attached to it, even -

though I’m neither Duke’s hardest worker nor its hardest player. There’s a lot to be said for having a good grasp on such a übiquitous dichotomy as work and play. Obviously there are those who take “hard” to an extreme on either end of the scale, but I think overall we hit the balance pretty well. Parents’ Weekend is one of the times when we exhibit the work-play mentality outside of its original context. This time, the “play hard” half is our normal college life, while the “work hard” half is the representation we give to our parents. And, like good Dukies, we snap to the “work” mindset in an almost mechanical fashion. It’s what needs to get done, so it happens. You see the same thing at career fairs and grad school info sessions, where it’s sometimes hard to recognize that svelte young professional pushing his resume as the same guy who spent last Saturday morning at Tailgate in a rather elaborate costume that his beer-chugging buddy insisted was supposed to look like a moose. Faced with sights like these, an independent observer might well ask which persona is the real one, and which is the fake. And the answer is, they’re both real. That’s the beauty of the whole system the ability to self-compartmentalize and bring the appropriate bits of oneself to the fore at the appropriate time.To some, that seems two-faced, but out in the much-hallowed “real world,” with employers, coworkers, clients and the rest of it, it’s both a valuable and an unfortunately rare talent. So moms and dads, as you visit your almost allgrown-up Dukies, don’tbe impressed by how nice they look, or how clean their dorm rooms are or how recently they’ve done their laundry. None of that’s going to last. Instead, be impressed that your kids have learned how to manage themselves as people; that they’ve finally learned a bit of what you were trying to teach them when you told them to clean up their rooms and to for goodness sake wear something presentable, we’re going somewhere nice. So maybe it’s not an unreal city, just an incomplete view of a real one. The best-looking part of reality, you might say. And after all, who really wants to see the rough parts anyway? —

ACES embarrasses itself I truly hate to criticize a process meant to bring progress and modernization to our class enrollment, but the current condition of ACES bookbagging should be considered an embarrassment. The old system, whatever its faults, was downright intuitive compared to the current state of the new system. For example, in the old system, one could add a class to a bookbag by merely clicking the add class button, in the new system, one must navigate through three pages. To see cross listings, additional clicks are also necessary (a smart system should immediately display both the cross listings and the current enrollment in the crosslistings). I’m studying abroad and don’t really want to have to spend an exorbitant amount of time during the overly brief bookbagging period trying to use this clumsy system. I understand that no new online interface launches without bumps in the road, but if this is the best product that could have been delivered for Spring 2009 registration, the new ACES should have been delayed.

Democracy, thebest government we’ve got

John Schneider’s Oct. 22 column, “Please don’t vote,” should

not be taken seriously (despite his insistence that we do just that). Winston Churchill said, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” How should Americans order their civil society if not by the Constitution? Monarchy? Anarchy? Direct democracy? Schneider offers no ideas. His argument, that our election system led to President George W. Bush’s eight years in office and thus it is corrupt and useless, is totally bogus. Bush did not get elected and then go on a presidential power-spree. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were both authorized by Congress, his tax cuts were passed by Congress, his other economic policies were not passed by Congress, his cabinet members and judicial appointments were vaiyinglyapproved and denied by Congress, the Supreme Court has reviewed and reprimanded his prisoner policies at Guantanamo Bay, and so on. Voter input is not limited to election day—ourrepresentative republic puts the trust of our votes in Congress to check the president and vice versa. Furthermore, activism and lobbying shapes national policy every day. More importandy, Bush does not run Durham. Our mayor and city council and other elected (or appointed) leaders do. If most voters refrain from voting, then any wacko could end up in charge of our tax dollars and our safety. So please ignore Schneider and go vote (for Sen. John McCain)!

“O me, O life”

third grade, outfitted in my father’s suit jacket and a paper mustache, I delivered the Gettysburg Address to a classroom of seven-year-olds. (It was “Be a Historical Figure” day and my cross-dressing exertions were squashed in a Florida-esque voting fiasco that rewarded Gordon’s middling General MacArthur.) Now I harbor fantasies of a necessitating moment, a perfect cue, ready to bust out Ahab’s “Hark ye yet again,” Hamlet’s “To be or not to be,” V’s “In view, a humble vaudejanet wu villian veteran.” Great rhetoric is the counting sheep sociable sibling of poetry. Power over its linguistic instruments makes for mesmerizing music. I am a rhetorical groupie swaying to the gospel of eloquence. I am a soon-to-be-poor-post-graduate come December. I am voting for Sen. Barack Obama, obviously. Tear up the paper boys, it’s another college liberal. But know this: I come to you reeking ofidealism and abstract hopes, as a student of English not public policy, as an archaic romantic with a soft spot for poetics, not politics. Tm not going to chew the cud of party principles and the inherent wrongness or rightness of the raging liberals, the antediluvian conservatives. I’ll leave the big-headed Keith Olbermanns and O’Reillys reveling in their own acidic wits. I’m not going to be your malicious two minutes of divisive verbiage—we’ve reached a saturation point of

irrelevant indictments I am going to pause and admire the phenomenon of words. I, like a host of others, first heard whispers of Obama’s rhetorical prowess after his 2004 keynote address to the Democratic National Convention. I read his first book, “Dreams of My Father” in a casual fit of curiosity some months later to see if he was the same man in print as he was in oration. I scrutinized his explicit heroes and their words—Martin Luther Kingjr., John F. Kennedy, my old buddy Abraham Lincoln, and upon further investigation, FDR, LBJ —to learn the source ofObama’s spoken magnetism. What I discovered in the tones and tempos of presidential inaugural addresses, in “I Have a Dream,” “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” “We shall Overcome,” was a familiar epic rhetoric hailing of a prophetic “something”—a something that has demanded human freedom, equal voting rights, and now, change. Let there be no doubt that the rhetoric of important men has served as prologue to less than illustrious decisions. Is there danger in empty rhetoric? Yes. Is there potential forfalse promises? Most definitely. But there is also bravery in expressed ideology. There is audacity in articulated hope. For eight years, we have watched the words “freedom” and “liberty” be raped of meaning, as a president stumbled and stuttered and made a mockery of a greater tradition ofAmerican rhetoric. We have operated under a non-hero, and, in the absence of a model of action, we have retreated into satire and condescension in order to cope. So when we, Generation Y, hear the rhythmic cadences of a presidential candidate who unapologetically speaks of “distant shoresand pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiv-

ing wilderness,” a candidate who boldly borrows from a history of great rhetoric and greater men, who learns and grows out of their example—when we hear this song, we stop to listen. Some of the mature right claim Obama’s rhetoric is seductive to youth audiences, that we value style over substance, charisma over hard facts, ideology over reality. Sen. John McCain quite literally sneered at Obama’s eloquence, insinuating it not only concealed but misled. What McCain ought to know is that we the “young Americans” have the mental ability to synthesize both eloquence and the facts corresponding to that eloquence. We have the capacity not only to detect a new, potent presence, but the moral inclination to verify that he is more than just a presence. We demand more than plain facts and an impressive resume because we the intellectual youth were bred to know that such is never enough —not for us, not for our president. Presentation, exceptionality, that windfall spark—we demand these because they have been demandedof us. Don’t tell me that inspiration is meaningless and eloquence irrelevant Any college studentknows that a hard-wrought application is only as good as the character it represents, that there must be something more than careful credentials and an inventory ofexpertise. You the cynics, you the hopeless, you the disdainful and distrustful and unchangeable—you tore apart the “fundamentals” of this nation while I, the“naive” young American, spent the past decade sculpting my character and cognition into something the alleged real world might value. Now I graduate to a social, economic and environmental climate of disastrous magnitude. Can you blame me for singing the sweet song of

change?

The conventional wisdom is that foreign policy does not decide elections; “it’s the economy, stupid.” And the conventional wisdom is that elections decide foreign policy because, presumably, candidates offer sharply divergent visions on foreign policy. If you get your news from Comedy Central, you might think the conventional wisdom applies in spades this year, but does it? -

The community grew dramatically after the Civil War when it became a manufacturing center of popular products made from the unique, locally grown “bright leaf’ tobacco. The city became known around the world for its much advertised Bull Durham brand and the business acumen of Washington Duke and his son, James B. Duke who organized the American Tobacco Company. By the turn of the century it was also known for the development of highly successful African-American businesses such as the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Durham also offers unique shopping with turn-of-the-century tobacco warehouses resurrected as specialty stores and restaurants in the historic downtown and Ninth Street areas, as well as some of the state’s most modern malls. Southpoint Mall, one of the region’s ultra up-scale malls, is busy with any store a person could need! Over 300 restaurants, ranging from good ol’ North Carolina barbecue to Greek, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, seafood, and steak, cover the town.

THE chronicle

History

andArchitecture of Duke University Chapel

From the beginning, Duke University Chapel was meant to serve the entire university. At the Service of Dedication in 1935, ministers from several faiths participated in the service, as well as officers of the university, faculty members, and students. Since then, the Chapel has served the University community in many ways. The Deans and campus ministers provide continuing opportunities for worship, study, and out' reach. The Chapel hosts many weddings and funeral services for students, graduates, and employees each year. In addition, convocations and baccalaureates for various colleges of the university frequently take place in the Chapel. Past preachers have included the Rev. Billy Graham, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, The Rev' erend Charlene Kammerer, Rev. Dr. Peter Gomes, Dr. Samuel Proctor, just to name a few. A variety of musical performances take place each year. Recent groups to visit and perform at Duke University Chapel include the Durham Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys from Durham, England; the Tallis Scholars; and the North Carolina Boys Choir. The Duke Uni' versity Chapel Choir is a strong and active choir. In addition to singing for Sunday worship during the academic year, the cnoir performs two oratorios a year, one of which is always Handelâ€™s MESSIAH, performed each December. Perhaps the most memorable performance of MESSIAH took place on the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The audience emerged from hearing Handelâ€™s marvelous work to be greeted by newsies and others announcing the bombing.

ports for concerts and liturgical dance performances, in 1976, the dedication of the Benjamin N. Duke Memorial Organ took place. The organ, built above the entrance to the nave, is the single most important ad' dition to the building since its completion and dedica' tion in the 19305.

Established endowments and offerings help defray the cost of the upkeep of the fabric of the Chapel, em abling the Chapel to maintain its grandeur while still offering entrance and guided tours at no charge. The Stone Duke University Chapel is constructed of a volcanic stone from the Duke Quarry in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The lectern, pulpit and other trimmings were made from Indiana limestone. The vaults of the choir are made of stone, but the walls and vaults of the nave and transepts are made of Guastavino tile, a sound-absorbing material. This tile had to be coated with a sealant prior to the installation of the Flentrop. This increased the reverberation time, making the Chapel more suited to the sounds of the new organ.

only a few pieces of glass to be used in the panes of its replacement. But it was five years between the laying of the cornerstone to the Service of Dedication in 1935. Duke University Chapel might be described as a synthesis of the best of Gothic. While one is not able to see every characteristic from each period of Gothic architecture, one can experience the height, space, ornamentation and color or a Gothic cathedral. The decorative foliage at the base of the Memorial Chapel vaults, the intricate hand-carved woodwork of the choir, the 73-foot interior ceiling with its carved stone bosses, and over a million pieces of stained glass all combine to form one of the largest and most wellused university chapels in the United States. Architects and Craftsmen The architects of the Chapel were Horace Trumbauer of Philadelphia and his chief designer, Julian Abele, Americaâ€™s first black architect of renown. Mr. Abele was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and in France.

The stone carving in the Chapel was done by John Donnelly, Inc., or New York. All of the woodwork was done bvlrving and Casson-A.H.

The two greatest changes to the Chapel occurred in the 19705. In 1971, a fire sparked in the nave, destroying several pews and causing thousands of doT lars in damage to the interior of the Chapel. The pews were replaced with wooden chairs, which proved to be something of a blessing: the chairs can be moved might tear down an entire wall erected the century to accommodate an orchestra, risers, and other sup' before.
