THE CHRONICLE

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. It seemed like everyone in BB&T Field pointed. There he is, wide open. Exploiting a miscommunication in the Wake Forest secondary, wideout Eron Riley broke off his route and flew straight up the right hash toward the end zone, beckoning quarterback Thaddeus Lewis to throw him what would have been the game-winning touchdown pass in overtime Saturday. But Lewis saw Riley too late and threw off his back foot in an effort to get the ball out quicker, affording the Demon Deacons time to recover. The once-vacant circle around Riley quickly closed, and All-ACC corncrback Alphonso Smith leaped up and snagged the pass for his second interception of the game, handing Duke a 33-30 loss, its toughest of the season. “When he’s streaking down the field, I’m thinking touchdownall the way,” Lewis said. “Unfortunately, I didn’t put enough on it. I can take the blame for that. Sometimes, you need to live to see another down, and I tried to get it all in one play.” The game may have ended on that snap, but Duke (4-4, 1-3 in the ACC), SEE FOOTBALL ON SW PAGE 4

She and more than 900 other voters swarmed to Duke’s earlyvoting poll Saturday, making sure to get theirvote in before 5 p.m., when early voting officially ended in Durham. Mike Ashe, director of the Durham County Board of Elections, said Saturday was one of the busiest days at the polls, as expected. Almost 10,000 ballots have been cast at Duke’s one-stop site since early voting began Oct. 16, according to the Durham County Board of Elections Web site. Durham County officials voted to extend the early voting deadline from 1 p.m. Saturday to 5 p.m. There was a record turnout of early voting in Durham this year, with nearly 98,000 voters—more than twice the turnout in 2004 and nine times greater than the count in 2000, Ashe said. He attributes the increase in early voters to boosted awareness, accurate information and pressure to vote from the candidates themselves. “People are becoming more and more aware of early voting and are realizing that it’s the same exact ballot as given on Election Day,” he said. “The candidates were also urging everyone to come out early, CHASE

Council to vote on global health program Lindsey Rupp THE CHRONICLE

Duke University could further its global ambitions after the Academic Council votes on the proposal for the Masters in Science and Global Health program at its next meeting Nov. 20. As-

sistant Professor of Medicine Dr. Chris Woods, who would be the program director, will answer questions from the Council before the proposal is put to vote. “I like to think that at this point it will have support from pretty much across the diverse aspects of the Academic Council and we can move ahead,” Woods said. “I would say [the approval process has] been entirely positive. The program is much better than it was at the outset.” The program will serve to increase Duke’s global presence with expected field-experience opportunities in China, Haiti, India, Kenya, Singapore, Tanzania, Uganda and other sites with which Duke’s Global Health Institute collaborates. The program is expected to attract top national and international students and is

yet another piece ofDuke’s internationalizationeffort to prepare students to work internationally to solve global problems, Provost Peter Lange said. Students taking courses offered by DGHI have expressed interest in the program as an alternative to getting a degree in public health, saying the program was closer to their academic interests. They also said the program would be beneficial to the

University. “[The program] shows our commitment to internationalization, it shows our commitment to knowledge in the service

of society,” he said. “It allows us to make initiatives in areas of global health where we think we can really make a special contribution.” Senior Jessica Dreyfuss said she thought the degree was a natural step for the University considering the focus and certificate programs in global health offered to undergraduates.

The Chronicle was honored this weekend by The Associated Collegiate Press at its annual National College Media Convention, a four-day conference attended by student delegates from hundreds of college publications. Four Chronicle staff members traveled to Kansas City, Mo. for the event. Sports Editor Ben Cohen, a junior, won first place for Diversity Story of the Year, a contest in which student journalists are recognized for the impact, credibility and sensitivity of their story as well as the quality of their reporting, quotes, writing and editing. Cohen’s piece, “Leveling the Playing Field,” explored the influence of race in the search for Duke’s next head football coach that preceded David Cutcliffe’s hiring. The Chronicle also won second place in the Best of Show division for four-year daily tabloids, an honor it has received since 2006. The competition evaluates a single issue from the current academic year on the quality of coverage, content, writing, reporting, leadership on the opinion page, design, photography, art and graphics. The Chronicle entered its Oct. 24 issue, which included coverage of a press conference in which Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Mangum maintained that she had been assaulted and a story on President Richard Brodhead’s delivery of the Annual Report of the University to the Academic Council.

The Academic Council is the fifth step in the approval process, which began April 23 when proponents of the program met with the Programs Subcommittee of the Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty.

The proposal has remained unchanged throughout the approval process, thanks to initial discussions with the graduate school, said Lisa Croucher, assistant director for education and training for the Duke Global Health Institute. The program, however, has addressed suggestions from the various committees involved in the approval process. The program has already outlined what core and elective courses it would offer and identified the faculty that

would teach these courses, Croucher said. The program would open to its first class of 10 students next Fall. “I think the kind of degree that we have developed and are proposing couldn’t really happen anywhere except at a place like Duke because it is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary program, and we have been and will continue to work closely with all the different schools and institutes at Duke in the development of this,” Croucher said. Carlos Tomasi, professor of computer science and a member of the Academic

Council, said he thought the program was well-conceived and its directors highly motivated. He said even though he does not know much about global health, he supported the program—especially its interdisciplinary approach to the subject. “It seems that a Masters in Global Health is not something offered, at least in this area, and it is clearly a multidisciplinary program... and there are not many programs that I know of like that,” Tomasi said. “I think it would be a very positive thing [for the University].”

On quite possibly the nicest November day you’ll see in Durham, the Blue Devils’ play matched the perfection of the surrounding atmosphere. For the first time this season, Duke was seamless in its 3-1 win over Northern Illinois in Koskinen Stadium. “We’ve been through a lot this season in terms of ups and downs," head coach John Kerr said. “We feel good about the direction we’re headed.” And good things happened early for the Blue Devils (10-5-2), \££\ niu | as sophomore Cole Grossman scored in DUKE the second minute off of a Mike Grella comer kick. After a scuffle in the box, Grossman found the back of the net for the tally. The sophomore posted an impressive stat line against the Huskies (S4-4) with two goals and one assist. Even though Grossman’s statistics were impressive, they didn’t represent his total impact on the game. Grossman and the midfield ably worked with the defense to bring the ball into the attack, something that the Blue Devils have struggled with on the season. “I think we did a good job of passing the ball better today,” Grossman said. “When we pass the ball, we are a really dangerous team.” Grossman certainly didn’tdo it alone, as he was supported by Grella, who has made himself an All-American candidate with his

If everything went according to plan, Duke would have celebrated its senior day with a victory in its regular-season finale.

But Virginia had other plans. The No. 13 Cavaliers upset the No. 4 Blue Devils 4-3 Saturday at Katz Stadium as Virginia snapped Duke’s eight-game winning streak. The Blue Devils quickly dug themselves a significant hole after the Cavaliers

began

to stage a comeback led by—who else?—its seniors. A backhanded goal in the 15th minute by senior Marian Dickinson off an assist from fellow senior Laura Suchoski cut the deficit to 3-1 by halftime. In the second half, Suchoski launched a shot from the top of the circle into the bottom right comer of the cage, making the score 3-2 in the 41st minute. The Blue Devils (14-4, 2-3 in the ACC) managed to tie the game at three at the 51:26 mark after Suchoski assisted sophomore Susan Ferger’s goal. But the comeback attempt was thwarted five minutes later when Virginia scored the game-winning tally off a penalty corner. Though the Blue Devils fell to the Cavaliers (12-7,2-3), they said that one game does not take away from the tremendous contributions of Dickinson, Suchoski and Ashley Pultorak. The trio has helped create Duke’s stan-

dard ofexcellence for the past four years. “[The seniors] have helped keep us at that level,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “They are all really special players.” Since their arrival to the program, the three seniors have achieved large successes, reaching two Final Fours and one national championship game. Through 83 career games, the seniors have collectively scored 84 goals and 64 assists, while leading the team to an impressive 59-24 record over that time. What makes this senior class special is how each member differentiates from another, helping to create a nice balance between the trio. “We are like the three stooges,” Suchoski said. “Each of us add a different spark to the team.” Suchoski, a two time first-team All-American, leads vocally as a captain. Because her position lies in the heart of the field, it is fitting that she is considered the heartof the team. “Laura has the most phenomenal skill of anyone on this team,” Pultorak said. “She’s got incredible finesse on the field, but she’s also so willing to help everybody get better and elevate us to her level.” Pultorak has developed into a mentor for the underclassmen and provides advice for on- and off-the-field issues. Though she is a forward, her skill set extends beyond the necessities ofher offensive position. “Ashley is the all-around player that you want on your team,” Suchoski said. “She goes out and can play any position, and is one of the few types of players that will

CHASE OLIVIERI/THE

CHRONICLE

All-ACC cornerback Alphonso Smith hauled in two of Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis' passes for interceptions, including the game-winning pick in overtime to liftWake Forest to a 33-30 win.

fense forced a Wake Forest (5-3, 3-1) turnover on downs, the offense marched methodically with the game tied at 30. Facing a Demon Deacon all-out blitz on fourth-and-two from the Wake Forest 33yard line, Lewis quickly popped a short pass over the middle to Riley, who made a sliding catch in traffic to inch them closer into field-goal range. Duke called a timeout with two seconds left and trotted out kicker Nick Maggio to convert a 42-yard field goal for the win. But he caught the ground slightly as his leg came through, the ball wobbled in a line-drive fashion and it sailed about two yards right of the uprights. “I just broke down mechanically,” Maggio said. “I took a big stride,jumped into it a little bit, didn’t get my hips through and pushed it right.” “It’s a game of inches,” headcoach David Cutcliffe said. “I thought Nick started a little early on the field-goal try at the end ofregulation, threw his rhythm off a little bit.” Considering the number of mistakes the Blue Devils made—four turnovers, including two fumbles on special teams, and a safety—it’s a wonder Duke managed as many opportunities to win as it did. But the blunders on special teams only served to emphasize just how well the offense and defense played. Despite feeing a 19-7 deficit with 8:45 left in the third quarter, Duke stormed back with the help ofa Lewis touchdown pass to Clifford Harris on the sidelines that looked as if it could have been just

as easily intercepted and returned for a score. Jay Hollingsworth punched in a running touchdown to give Duke its first lead of the game at 20-19 just six minutes later. Cutcliffe elected to try for a twopoint conversion for a field-goal cushion, but a Zack Asack rollout play was unsuccessful. Wake Forest answered, though, regaining a 30-23 lead with 10:16 left in the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils tied it up on the ensuing drive on the strength of their aerial firepower, which was certainly helped by a rejuvenated running game that accumulated 145 yards, as Lewis went to Harris once again for a 20-yard touchdown pass on a wheel route down the right sideline. The score was another example of Duke’s regained second-half moxie, which led to 23 points after the break and pushed the Demon Deacons to their absolute limits. “It was probably the best offense we’ve faced this entire year, numbers-wise and how tough they are,” Wake Forest’s Smith said. “We are fortunate and happy to come out on the winning side.” After the game, Cutcliffe expressed sympathy for his players, who have now fallen to the Demon Deacons three straight times by a combined nine points. But with four games left and two wins separating the Blue Devils from bowl eligibility, he emphasized the importance of moving on. “The thing I told them is, ‘lt hurts, but the biggest shame is going to be letting this loss affect anything left on the schedule,”’ Cutcliffe said. “We’re going to correct mistakes. We’re going to look at this game, but I don’t want to see it again after tomorrow afternoon with our players. I’m going to put it away and not let anybody around here look at it. We need to be thinking forward.”

Special teams mistakes cost Duke by

David

Ungvary THE CHRONICLE

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Lining up for a 42-yard field goal with two seconds to play, kicker Nick Maggio had a chance to not only seal a marquee victory over ACC foe Wake Forest, but also a chance to redeem the seemingly countless foibles of Duke’s special teams' throughout the

game. The play brought to fanie memory the last time AjjglySiS the Blue Devils were in BB&T Field. Two 'ears ago, Duke had an eerily similar chance to overtake the Demon Deacons on their home turf, but a last-second field goal was blocked and the Blue Devils lost the game. Maggie’s 42-yarder wasn’t blocked, but it sure wasn’t pretty. The low-liner wobbled wide right of the post after Maggie’s pivot foot slipped and a dejected Duke squad, which had given up the victory in its grasp, had to settle for overtime. When Maggio was asked how many attempts he would make if he had a chance to kick that field goal 10 more times, he responded confidently, as if his kick had sailed through the uprights. “Ten out of 10,” he said. “I just broke down mechanically. From 42 or 43, it’s usually an easy kick. Next time, I’ve just got to stay mechanically sound and I’ll get a better result” Of course, it really isn’t fair to put the loss on Maggio’s foot. With error after error, the Blue Devil special teams fed Wake Forest the ball with great starting field position. “It’s tough, but it’s part of football,” quarterback Thaddeus Lewis said. “Sometimes, you know you don’t want to put '

[Maggio] in that situation and we feel like we could have been in a better situation. But it’s part of football. We had confidence in Maggio. Unfortunately, it went wide and we had to go to overtime.” Special teams mistakes bookended regulation, as Maggio’s missed field goal ended the fourth quarter while Jabari Marshall’s fumble on the opening kickoff occurred on the very first play of the game. Wake Forest began its first drive at Duke’s 22-yard line and was able to get a head of steam from the get-go, scoring a touchdown on its opening series. It didn’t stop there. Forced to defend the short field, the Blue Devil defense was stuckbetween a rock and a hard place again and again as the Demon Deacons’ started drives in Duke’s territory five times. Those drives accounted for all ofWake Forest’s 28 points on offense in the first four quarters. “It’s definitely with your back up against the wall,” linebacker Michael Tauiliili said. “But with defense, we have the philosophy that it doesn’t matter what else goes on in the game—whether it’s offense or special teams. Wherever we’re at on the field as a defense, we just have to step up and make the plays.” The other two points came on another special teams blunder. Toward the end of the first quarter, punter Kevin Jones took his kick near the Blue Devil goal line and was blocked by Demon Deacon cornerback Alphonso Smith. Jones recovered the loose ball in his own endzone for a safety. The ensuing kickoff was returned 57 yards by Wake Forest safety Alex Frye, who rushed all the way to the Blue Devil 30-yard line. The Duke defense was able to clamp down and held the Demon Deacons to only a chip shot field goal, which extended their lead to five. Even when things seemed to go the Blue

Devils’ way on special teams, Wake Forest came away with an advantage. After Duke took a 20-19 lead in the third quarter, head coach David Cutcliffe ordered his kickoff unit to execute a surprise onside kick. It was something he claimed to have been planning and called when he saw a hole in the Wake Forest coverage—and it worked. Joe Surgan popped the ball high in the air—like a flop wedge, Cutcliffe said Sunday—and it traveled 11 yards before Johnny Williams picked it from the air. But a yellow flag doused any Duke celebration before it got started, and kick-catch interference was called for a block on a seemingly unaware Wake Forest returner. “My philosophy on all those things—that could’ve gone either way,” Cutcliffe said. “We could’ve done 10 or 15 other things in that game to have won the ball game. I don’tfret over those things on Sunday. You get in the habit of doing that, that means you lose most of them.” The questionable penalty gave the Demon Deacons the ball at another great spot —the Duke 26. Again they were held to just a field goal, but managed to steal some momentum away from the Blue Devils in the process. Duke learned in an unfortunate way that turnovers add up and that special teams can make or break a game. A fumbled kickoff return, a muffed punt by Donovan Varner at a critical point in the second half, a safety and a missed field goal were too much for the Blue Devils to overcome. “What had been a plus for us—the kicking game—turned into somewhat of a nightmare,” Cutcliffe said. “We did play hard, but we just didn’t play smart enough.... We just can’t get all three phases

playing together.”

Ga. Tech 31-No.ISFSU 28

ATLANTA The play designed to give Florida State a last-minute comeback win worked just as coach Bobby Bowden expected—until Marcus Sims

lost the ball. Sims fumbled into the end zone to finish No. 15 Florida State's comeback hopes in the final minute, and Georgia Tech beat the Seminoles 31-28 Saturday. "It could have been one of the greatest comebacks, but we fumbled it," Bowden said (AP).

Miami 24-Virginia 17

Jacory Harris CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. threw a tying touchdown pass in the final minute and another one in overtime to give Miami a 24-17 win over Virginia Saturday that put the Hurricanes into the race for the ACC title game. Harris hit Laron Byrd with a desperation heave from 26 yards to tie it, and then found Aldarius Johnson near the left pylon to give them the lead in overtime. When Virginia tailback Cedric Peerman was stripped of the ball on the Cavaliers' first play of overtime, the Hurricanes had their fourth victory in a row, and were tied for second in the Coastal Division after Georgia Tech beat Florida State later. Virginia had its four-game winning streak end, and in heartbreaking fashion, too, after shutting down the ACC's best scoring offense until the very end (AP).

BOSTON CJ. Spider's day wasn't done after a hit left him wobbly on the sideline. First, though, he had to pass a test from the Clemson medical staff to prove he was lucid enough to return. "He had to fight with the doggone trainers. They weren't going to let him back in," interim Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said after Spiller returned to lead the Tigers to a 27-21 victory over Boston College. "I guess he guessed right on the three questions. I asked him what the three questions were and helped him with the answers." The Tigers had not beaten the Eagles in six tries since 1958, including three straight heartbreakers since BC joined the league: One in overtime, one in double overtime and one on a touchdown pass in the final minutes (AP).

For the thirdconsecutiveroad contest, theBlue Devils couldn't get on thescoreboard in their 1-0loss Sunday. The Blue Devils will certainly need that fighting spirit against No. 13 Boston College Wednesday in their ACC tournament opener. The two teams fought to a 0-0 tie during the regular season, and after making a first-round exit last year, Duke does not want history to repeat itself.

But now that they are back home, hardened by a slew of road batdes, the Blue Devils seem ready to make a final charge, “There’s so much to play for,” Kreger said. “As long as we play our best game, I don’t think many teams can match up with us.”

Swimming and diving scores in home meet With two wins over ACC foes N.C. State and Maryland Friday and Saturday at Casey Natatorium and Taishoff Aquatic Pavilion, the women’s squad improved to 5-0 on the year. Its male counterparts split the weekend series, moving to 2-1 on die season. Sophomore Ashley Twichell led the way on the individual end over the weekend. She set a pool record in the 1,000free Saturday and also won the 200-free Friday. She also took the 500-free Saturday, followed in second place by teammate Jackie Fasano. On the men’s side, the men’s 200-yard medley relay team set a pool record Saturday to beat the Terrapins in the event.

Cross country squads compete in ACCs Bo Waggoner finished in 10th place to lead the Duke men to fifth place in the ACC championships Saturday, while the women’s squad finished in fourth in Chapel Hill. Cory Nanni took second for the Blue Devils at 25th, while Stephen Clark took 28th. Josh Brewer followed at 31st, and Andrew Brodeur rounded out Duke’s scoring five in 33rd.

COURTNEY DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE

Duke's women's swimming and diving team picked up two wins this weekend over Maryland and N.CState in the Triangle.

M. SOCCER from SW page 2 12 goals and seven assists for the year. “On the second goal, Grella just made an unbelievable play and the ball happened to come right to me,” Grossman said. “Mike Grella makes opportunities for everybody any time he’s on the field.” Grossman would certainly know, considering both of his goals were the result of Grella assists. The midfielder returned the favor, though, assisting Grella on the third and final Blue Devil score. Duke still had a dominant defensive effort, like it has had all year. Although it gave up one goal, the Blue Devils’ defensive line held the Huskies to few chances. Senior Darrius Barnes routinely won every head ball—even when giving up three inches to 6-foot-5 Northern Illinois forward Finn Jor. Even though the Duke defenders seem to anticipate each other’s movements, they nevertheless talked with one another on the field to maintain shape in the back line. “Communication is definitely one of the big things,” freshman defender lan Kailis said. “We’re really comfortable with each other, we know how each other plays, we know each others’ strengths and weaknesses, fi doesn’t matter that they’re seniors and I’m a freshen, I still tell them what to do and they tell me what to do. It’s mutual.” With only one game left in the schedule, the Blue Devils have found their groove and hope to maintain their upward progress. And as the team’s health continues to improve, so will its chemistry, which is hapPcningjust in time for the postseason.

Without this, the Council appears to have devolved into a biennial venue for administrators to learn about already existing projects that aim to benefit Duke women. Like the President’s Council on Black Affairs, the Council on Women was mainly a forum for “updates.” This year, six years after the inception of the Women’s Initiative, the Council has been put on hiatus. According to President Richard Brodhead, the Council is being reevaluated before it will be put back into commission at some unclear time in the future.

known, and this is a big problem in itself, the Council’s suspension provides us the opportunity to redefine the body’s mission and enhance its efficacy. The President’s Council on Women should be reinstated, and it should meet regularly to discuss, analyze and formulate real solutions to the real problems it has defined. We already know what are the serious issues facing female students on campus. Administrative reports dating back fifteen years—from William Willimon’s “WeWork Hard, We Play Hard” to the more recent Report of the Campus Culture Initiative Steering Committee—have identified University structures that are detrimental to a healthy lifestyle for Duke’s undergraduate women. As a University, we love to brag that, because of the rela-

tive youth of our institution, we are open to self-evaluation and

change.

When it comes to women’s issues, we have been particularly adept at self-analysis and self-critique. What we lack, however, is the backbone, initiative and leadership to follow through on our own diagnosis. Patchwork efforts such as the Women’s Mentoring Network and the Baldwin Scholars program are valuable, but they are not close to sufficient. Undoing the status quo will require difficult decisions. But a University that is truly committed to gender equality cannot continue to operate in this way, merely perpetuating the problems of the past. Enough with the talk, the committees, the focus groups. Let’s do something. Lucy McKinstry recused herselffrom this editorial.

fellow Young Americans: Please wake up. As a kid, I had a friend who was epically bad at “hide and seek.” Employing some flawed, kindergarten-level logic, he concluded that when he alose _ms eyes, he became invisible (to other people too). As childish as that is, there is an analogous situation among some of our peers today. Our jamie friedland government’s decisions affect everythe political climate one who lives here, but many young people tune out as if ignorance could shield us from energy crises, potentially lost abortion rights, and... well, economic Armageddon. Compared to older age demographics, today’s college students are largely apathetic about politics. It was not always this way. During the 19605, college campuses were bastions of political activism. Students followed politics closely and demonstrated when they felt the government had misbehaved. That generation was incited by the Vietnam War and united by the energy and experiences of the Civil Rights Movement. Today, we have a similarly unpopular war in Iraq and a government marred by frequent allegations of corruption, but our campuses are torpid in comparison. So what has changed? The anti-war sentiment in the ’6os was strengthened by self-interest—some students protested because they didn’t want to be drafted.But our parents’ generation was motivated by idealism and indignation as well. The complacency among today’s youth is symptomatic of a greater problem. We have grown up in an era of scandal. That in and of itself is not so remarkable; today’s politicians did not invent the abuse of power. Yet from George Tenet’s WMD controversy to the Abramoff lobbying fiasco and a long list of disgraced Congresspersons, we have seen our share of corruption. What separates the misdeeds of the last eight years is that they have gone largely unpunished. The Bush administration deceived the nation into a cosdy war, tortured detainees and exercised illegal partisanship in its firing offederal prosecutors. But when the media break these stories, nothing happens. Congress has called high-level officials to testify, but even the attorney general and vice president have ignored subpoenas or claimed in....

credible memory loss under oath. With the exception of Scooter Libby, who was convicted of perjury and obstruction of Justice in the Valarie Flame case, this administration has protected itselffrom repercussions (even before lame duck pardons). As a result, we have become desensitized to corruption. Every American faces the same truth that an individual vote makes little difference. However, older voters have lived through different administrations and seen how votes can affect their lives. For today’s college students, many of whom were barely teenagers when George W. Bush was elected, the government appears to be a static entity. In 2000, likely the first election today’s young voters followed, Bush won without the popular vote by a Supreme Court decision. Then voting controversies plagued the 2004 election. That doesn’t inspire trust in democracy. College students are less likely to cast a ballot than their elders, but we have just as much at stake, if not more. Our generation needs to be more politically active. I know we’re not all sitting around shirking our civic duty; many of us do care and work hard to better our communities.So why don’t we vote?According to CIRCLE (the acronym is annoying; I refuse to expand it out of spite), students don’t vote because politicians don’t target us. A researcher at Yale explains that campaigns don’t target youth voters because we historically do not donate much money. Others blame the decline in civics classes, and students themselves point to registration difficulties, convenience and the question of whether a single vote matters. In the face of these setbacks, youth voter turnout has been slowly rising since 2000, but it still barely broke 50 percent in 2004. According to the 2006 census, there are 29.5 million potential voters under 24, and nearly a quarter of the American electorate is under the age of 30 (which technically comprises the “youth vote”). But even college students alone could wield significant electoral influence. And it appears that this year our voices will be heard. A recent survey of students in four battleground states found that an astounding 94 percent were registered to vote. But it’s not official until your ballot is in the box. Tomorrow is Nov. 4. If you haven’t voted yet, please head to the polls and show the country that we’re ready to take America in a new direction. Early voting is over, so you’ll have to leave campus to vote. But that’s no excuse not to go; if you can do it for Shooters, I certainly hope you can do it for change.

Reinvigorating the American ideal tomorrow’selection were to be decided by a worldwide vote, Barack Obama would win by a landslide. In Egypt,

though, he would only win by a plurality. A poll of world opin-

ion conducted

by the

BBC News World Service in September found that people across the world

preferred Obama

to McCain by a 4-to-l margin. c The strongest supporters yOUSOI abUgnaTDieh of Obama were in Kenya, the arab Street Italy and France, where nearly 70 percent or more of respondents said they would prefer the Democratic nominee to be elected president. But in Egypt only 26 percent of those polled said they supported Obama, with 61 percent saying they didn’t prefer either candidate. A similar phenomenon occurred in Russia, India and Turkey. In these countries, the majority response toward the result of the U.S. election was apathy—not approval or disapproval. These numbers take on greater significance with the fact that it was in these countries where respondents said that an Obama presidency would not positively impact U.S. foreign relations with the world. Most Egyptians —36 percent—said they thought things would remain the same. The apathy that these numbers indicate refutes what .

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman claim in his “Obama on the Nile,” that many Egyptians were fervent Obama supporters: “[Egyptians] don’t really understand Obama’s family tree, but what they do know is that if America—despite being attacked by Muslim militants on 9/11—were to elect as its president some guy with the middle name “Hussein,” it would mark a sea change in America-Muslim world relations.” The problem is that, contrary to the results of Friedman’s anecdotal interviews, most Egyptians do not think electing Obama would be some sort of seminal moment for relations the United States and the Middle East. In fact, it was in three predominantly Muslim countries—Turkey, Egypt and Lebanon—that respondents to the BBC poll were the most likely to claim that U.S. relations with the world would remain the same or would get worse. To be clear, though, among the 22 countries sampled only Turkey and Singapore thought a McCain presidency would be better for U.S. relations with the world than an Obama one. Friedman’s column is important because it belies the common belief that electing Obama would be enough to reverse years’ worth of anger, resentment and frustration engendered by the misguided policies of the Bush administration across the region. An Egyptian blogger who calls himself “The Skeptic” anticipated many of the findings of the BBC poll when he said Friedman omitted the overwhelmingly cynical response he had heard from Egyptians on the topic of the

hope you all had fun at your date functions and “dubs,” and even if you went chairman of thebored to some monday, monday place called “Franklin Street.” What’s that? You couldn’t? Oops. Well, that was insensitive. Now I’m sure some of you are wondering what I did for Halloween. I’m flattered. Instead of fighting through roadblocks on the way to Chapel Hill or fighting through freshmen on the way to section, I did what every responsible American should have done. I trick-or-treated for change. That’s right. I went door-to-door soliciting people for dimes, quarters, nickels and pennies. Hey, in this economy, you do what you gotta do. ,

Don’t judge.

America.

In case some ofyou didn’t know, there is a certain important election coming up in this great democratic experiment that is America. Despite being younger than many European prep schools, the United States has risen, throughout its storied history, to become a paragon of moral fortitude, impossible dreams and equal opportunity. Lately, we’ve fallen on hard times. The world looks at our culture and sees “The Simple Life.” The planet is getting hotter than Marisa Miller ln paint. Our economy has gone down the tubes faster than Tara Reid’s career. Luckily, through it ah, one man has stayed consistent. Despite recent American struggles, an iconic candidate has risen above petty party politics to unite people across the country. Just the sound of his name is enough to elicit tears of joy from old

women on street comers and young students in the classroom. His vision is clear, his support widespread, and his qualifications unquestioned. That man is... Ron Paul Wake up, America. This is just the opportunity we’ve needed for some time now. Long, long ago, the Chairman was just a nobody flipping burgers at Cookout and sleeping in Rostock (Carpenter Reading Room Heaven). Just when I thought all hope was lost (and I had run up debilitating late fees on the Devil DVD copy of “The Wire”), a friend introduced me to the Ron Paul Revolution (or, as some like to call it, the Reloveution... I get it, but I don’t get it). Simply put, Ron Paul is the messiah. According to his campaign Web site, he is the “pro-peace, pro-liberty, pro-constitution candidate.” Peace? Cool. Liberty? Sick. Constitution? Well, it isn’t perfect, but I think we’ve made some pretty significant improvements. Real talk for a sec, Dukies. This is America’s chance to make history. In all 200+ years of American history, we have never come close to electing a Congressman from the 14th Congressional District of Texas. Heck, 170 years ago, Texans couldn’t vote. Why? Because Texas wasn’t even a state. For shame. Did you know that, in the entire world, there is only one congressman representing Texas’s 14th? Think about how far we’ve come that we have the chance to elect such a minority as leader of the free world. Makes me proud to be an American. Oh, and another thing. Ron Paul is a Duke graduate. He goes by “Dr. Paul,” because he has a degree from the prestigious Duke School of Medicine. He trod the same ground we tread every day. He understands the key issues facing Duke students such as the new ACES, ALE and the subprime mortgage crisis. Plus, the last president with a Duke degree was Richard Nixon. Don’t you think we deserve a mulligan? So, my friends, you know what you must do. Go into that voting booth on Tuesday and vote Ron Paul. Help keep the American Dream alive through responsible spending, protection ofcivil liberties and low taxes. Write him in if necessary, and help change the world. Yes we can. Wait, you voted already? Aw crap. =

Meeting adjourned. THE CHAIRMAN is stoked for election night. It’s like shootingfish in a barrel... for hookups.

presidential election. But Friedman did get one thing right. Egyptians are intrigued by the prospect of the U.S. electing a non-white

president. 65 percent of Egyptians say that the election of Obama—the biracial son of an immigrant father—would change their perception of the U.S. for the better. And what’s interesting is that the essendal element of Obama’s unique identity is his race, and not his supposedly Muslim roots via his paternal grandfather. In Lebanon and Turkey—both majority Muslim countries, only 34 and 19 percent respectively said there impression of the U.S would be changed for the better if Obama were elected. Egypt, a country with people whose complex racial politics defy the whiteblack binary often adopted in American, was the exception. So, even if Egyptians aren’t optimistic that an Obama presidency would change U.S. foreign policy, it could go a long way toward reestablishing their faith in the American ideal of equality of opportunity for any qualified person regardless of their background. In Friedman’s words, an Obama victory would revive “America’s revolutionary ‘brand’ overseas in away that no diplomat could have designed or planned.” One man can’t be a panacea for America’s foreign policy woes, but he could give America that chance for a new beginning in the region, even if the majority of Egyptians are skeptical that such a change will happen.

letterstotheeditor Substance beats flash Meredith Shiner’s Oct. 28 column “Soulja Roy’s night shames Duke’s Blue-White”—in addition to, as she admits, being blasphemous—completely misses the mark. Midnight Madness—like events, from the original event at Maryland to “Late Night with Roy”, use entertainment, ranging from pyrotechnics to more traditional highlight clips, to upstage the real attraction. Duke’s Blue-White Scrimmage, on the other hand, focuses on what’s really important to the die-hard basketball fans that these preseason events intend to attract: the performance of the new team. What use is watching Sean Dockery’s half-court shot or an old Shane Battier dunk when it will be sophomore Nolan Smith and freshman Miles Plumlee who will guide us to the Final Four in Detroit this year? Let North Carolina continue its barbaric antics, and keep Blue-White justas it is. Matt Jacobson Trinity ’ll Chocolate cocaine? I don’t do cocaine either, but if it were chocolate... This seems to be what Greg Morrison has inadvertently implied in his Oct. 29 column, “A sad tale ofcocaine and Congress.” Morrison confuses “cocoa,” the seed of the cacao tree used to make chocolate with “coca,” the leaves of which contain cocaine alkaloids. Although both are produced in Columbia, only one is associated with AK-47’s and Marxists. This typo, repeated twice, makes me wonder what else is missing from Morrison’s picture. For instance, there is no mention of paramilitary troops and their relationship to both the government and the Marxists in the war on drugs. Additionally, there is no assessment of the microeconomic impacts of the ColumbiaFree Trade Agreement. Costa Rican small farmers, for instance, rigorously oppose a similar agreement because it would favor large, American-owned farming corporations and would run local farms out of business. So before you write to your congressperson, as Morrison suggests, please, check your facts. Chris McGuire Trinity ’O9
