The University has been cited for nine “serious violations” and fined $35,000 as a result of investigations into a fatal steam pipe explosion May 14 in the basement of the Levine Science Research Center.

The N.C. Department of Labor’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health released its findings in a 13-page report Friday that detailed violations in the LSRC and other campus facilities.

The accident killed 63-year-old Rayford Gofer, a master steamfitter, when 348-degree steam spewed from a ruptured steam line while he was starting the system in the LSRC’s mechanical room. The cause of the accident is still being investigated, but the University said in a statement that the incident may have occurred “in part because of ‘water hammer,’ a surge or wave with potentially explosive pressure that can develop inside pipes when steam mixes with cooler water.”

“We have been cooperating with the state and other safety experts to understand the circumstances that contributed to this incident,” Vice President for Campus Services Kernel Dawkins said in the statement Friday. “The tragedy has helped bring together many people within the department and the University in an effort to ensure such an accident never happens

Protesters take to the streets against Prop. 8 by

Carmen Hernandez THE CHRONICLE

Despite rain and mud, protesters RALEIGH, N.C. against the recent passage of Proposition B—a8 —a measure banning gay marriage in California—marched in Raleigh Saturday. They joined demonstrators staging similar protests in cities across the country in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights.

The group of about 1,400 people, including several Duke students, marched from East Lane Street to the Governor’s Mansion on North Blount Street, undeterred by a brief downpour in the early afternoon. Chapel Hill resident Tom Greene, co-organizer of the event, called the advocacy for gay rights “the new Civil Rights Movement.”

“It’s time for this injustice to end,” he said. “As tax-paying citizens, we ask for no more and no less.”

California voters approved the amendment to the state constitution to define marriage solely as the union between a man and a woman on Election Day, with 52 percent of the vote. In addition, Arizona approved a similar ban on gay marriage Nov. 4, while Arkansas passed a measure that

bars unmarried individuals from adopting.

“We have taken a lot of steps forward and all of a sudden, the passage of the proposition was like a slap in the face,” said sophomore AJiza Lopes-Baker, who spearheaded efforts to engage Duke students in the rally.

Protesters marched carrying banners and shouting “Gay, Straight, Black, White. Marriage is a civil right.”

There were no counter demonstrators.

A rainbow flag was raised in front of the Governor’s Mansion as Greene led the chant, “What do we want?

Equality. When do we want it? Now.” “We are here today because we realize that it’s not just the leaders that are responsible for this, it’s all citizens,” said Michelle Talal, a graduate student in the Nicholas School of the Environment.

Many protesters felt that the passage of Proposition 8 in California leaves very little hope in North Carolina for same-sex marriage.

Higher ed. roots unlikely to impact Obama policies by

Carrie Wasterlain THE CHRONICLE

Although the new presidential administration is closely tied to higher education, Duke professors do not expect Barack Obama and Joe Biden to show them special favor next semester.

The United States has seen its fair share of presidents and presidential advisers steeped in academia. But experts at Duke say that the new' Ohama-Biden duo is not likely to place higher education near the top of its political agenda.

President-elect Obama spent 12 years at the University of Chicago Law School as a professor ofConstitutional law, after receiving degrees from Columbia University and Harvard Law School.

His wife, Michelle Obama, holds a parttime position as vice president of community and external affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals. Vice president-elect Biden is an adjunct professor at the Widener University School ofLaw and his wife teaches English at Delaware Technical 8c Community College.

“The first black president had to be

discibreak stereotypes and be elected,” said Jerry Hough, James B. Duke professor of political science.

Obama’s educational background is especially noteworthy because ofhis childhood, said Kristin Goss, assistant professor of public policy and political science.

Obama was abandoned by his father, raised by a single mother, then taken in by financially struggling grandparents.

Yet, he ended up at Columbia, Harvard and Chicago, and now will take the helm at the White House.

“His life story vividly reminds us that higher education is the ticket to the American dream,” Goss said.

But she and others admit that Obama needs to be careful about flaunting his superior intellect, and must now adopt both a persona and a vocabulary that will strike mainstream Americans as more like them.

“Americans have great ambivalence about elite education. They want their

new steam station in a room down the hall from where the accident took place, Schoenfeld said. Dawkins noted that employees are also receiving safety training, and committees are reviewing old procedures and developing new plans to enhance safety.

The University was also cited for violations in other facilities, including three emergency exits in the East Campus tunnels that require keys to open, faulty emergency safeguards in the tunnels and the Facilities Maintenance Department and the absence of signs warning employees of the danger of the nearby steam line.

“Duke is a very large and complex place—there are a lot of systems and procedures and policies,” Schoenfeld said. “We’re constantly upgrading, updating, inspecting,

again

Inspectors found that Duke employees in the LSRC were not given proper instructions and testing practices for the steam line system; more than two exits were not available for emergencies; doors swung into the rooms instead of in the direction of the exit; and equipment placement prevented clear access to exits.

Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public relations and government affairs, said the facilities satisfied the codes when they were constructed, but the codes have changed and Duke had not been inspected again until recently.

“We’ve done some significant upgrades and changes in making our safety program even more robust,” he said.

“The safety of our employees is our highest priority, so we’re taking all these things very seriously.”

The steam pipe incident was not the first fatal accident in the University’s maintenance division. In November 2000, 57-year-old Ralph Clayton, a maintenance mechanical specialist, died at the Duke University Medical Center after an accident in the hospital’s loading dock.

State investigators said the accident occurred because of human safety errors and gaffes in operational procedures.

In light of Clayton and Gofer’s deaths, the University has been taking a closer look at its safety procedures and policies, Schoenfeld said.

“Safety is a very high priority,” he said. “With an accident especially this tragic that results in the death of a committed and valued employee, we.want to ensure these kinds of things never happen again. We have strengthened even further our commitment to programs or training and safety protocols because we are absolutely committed to the safety of our employees.”

Top journalists reflect on media and the election by

Martin Njoroge THE CHRONICLE

Media experts still buzzing from the election explained Saturday the importance of technology in what they said was the most memorable election they had witnessed.

Four panelists representing print and online media discussed trends in media coverage of the 2008 presidential election in the Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy for the annual John Fisher Zeidman Colloquium on Politics and the Press. Specifically, they focused on the implications of the growing role of technology on the relationship between the public, the media and the campaigns.

“This race featured the most change in media coverage since the advent of the T.V.,” said Garrett Graff, editor-atlarge at The Washingtonian and founding editor of mediabistro.com’s “Fishbowl D.C.” The rest of the panelists were: Ruth Marcus, an editorial writer and columnist for The Washington Post; Mark Shields, an analyst with PBS’s NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and a political columnist; and Jeff Zeleny, a New York Times correspondent who covered President-elect Barack Obama on campaign trail.

“One of the main developments of this campaign was the übiquity of technology,” Marcus said. “Nothing is off the record anymore; anytime anyone says anything, you can bet someone will record it and spread it on the Internet.”

Hosted by Jay Hamilton, director of the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy, the colloquium attracted an audience ofapproximately 50 people, including Rep. David Price, D-N.C. The center has been hosting the event since 1984.

Although widespread technology provided people with a wealth of information, the fear of committing a gaffe forced the candidates to become highly protective of themselves around others—especially the media, panelists said.

“There’s an image amongst the people that the reporters following Obama were always celebrating and popping champagne, but that’s far from the truth,” Zeleny said. “Obama is certainly a friendly person, but he heavily guarded himselfand didn’t speak with us as much as we would have preferred.”

Such a demeanor hardly seemed unjustified when considering that a Web site such as YouTube.com can effec-

lively end a promising campaign if a damaging enough clip begins to circulate, Graff said.

“I would argue that the use ofYouTube was the most important development of this campaign,” Graff said. “In 2004, Swift Boat Veterans [for Truth] spent about $60,000 on a defaming ad of [John] Kerry. However, with YouTube, a person uploaded a video of George Allan saying ‘macaca’ for free, and eliminated a man who at the time represented the next-in-line Republican nominee for the 2008 presidential race.”

Such an obsession with shocking and controversial reports mirrored the progression of some media outlets as they focused less on bipartisan reporting and more on catering to specific demographics, panelists explained. Networks such as Fox News and MSNBC became reliable sources of

biased reporting, as the two began to target controversial stories at the expense of a specific party, Marcus said.

“The line separating news and opinion became more blurred,” she explained. “When I write an article on Sarah Palin, I receive over 300,000 views on our Web site; when I write an article on Social Security, I get around 30,000.”

The panelists lamented similar trends in media coverage and the effects on the public’s consumption of news.

“People can now more easily pick and choose what they want to expose themselves to instead of taking in the varying sides of an issue,” Shields said. “They learn what they want to know, not necessarily what they need to know. And as a response to the coverage, we won’t see another truly open campaign like we did in 2000 with [Sen.] John McCain. The cost of being open would be too great.”

Although Goss and Hough both said Obama has benefited intellectually from his elite educational background, some believe that the “professorial” demeanor, which he has at times shown the public, may hinder his ability to govern effectively.

“We have had one president who made his mark as an academic leader, Woodrow Wilson, and it was generally thought that his academic background proved something of a liability when it came to being president,” Feaver wrote in an e-mail.

But Kerry Haynie, associate professor of political science, said good communication skills are the most crucial part of governing, regardless of one’s higher education background.

off as professorial if the content of his messages is digestible by a broad cross-section of the people,” he wrote in an e-mail.

Feaver noted that Biden is already adept at adopting verbal tics designed to make him appeal to average Americans. Biden went to “great lengths” in one vice presidential debate to cater his speaking form to what one expert believed was that of an eighth grader, Feaver said.

Regardless of governing style, though, many wonder if Obama’s passion for academia will influence him to push for higher education reform. Although Obama has mentioned the importance of increasing access to colleges, and he briefly proposed tax credits for tuition, he did not focus on higher education in his campaign—nor has he discussed it much since.

“I have no doubtthat Obamawould like to push forward goodies for higher education, but his ability to do so will be constrained by the broader economic and financial constraints he will face,” Feaver said.

Greene said the passage of these propositions relegates the LGBT community to second-rate citizenship.

“The fact that these propositions managed to pass is evidence that in this election... ignorance, inequality and bigotry triumphed over basic human rights,” freshman Dani Schocken said. “We can’t

Duke trailed 44-35 at intermission after Oklahoma State’s Andrea Riley dominated the first half, scoring 20 points and placing control of the game firmly in the Cowgirls’ hands—until Duke wrestled it away by switching to a stifling 3-2 zone at halftime.

“We talked at halftime about transition points—there were 18 of them on the board for Oklahoma State and they had 44 points on the board, and that was just ridiculous and not the kind of basketball that we play,” head coach Joanne R McCallie said. “I think the team pretty much felt the same way and was ready to get out there and play the second half.”

After 20 minutes of watching Oklahoma State guard Andrea Riley shoot over and carve through Duke’s defense for 20 points, Chante Black sent a message that the second half was going to be different.

In the first minute after the break, a conGame fident Riley drove into the teeth of the Blue Analysis Devil 3-2 zone only to watch Duke’s All-ACC center forcefully reject her layup.

Sophomore Kyle Singler, who has led Duke in scoring in the Blue Devils'three games, scored 23 points and made four crucial free throws to hold off Rhode Island.

Baron almost robs Blue Devils of win by

Gabe Starosta HIE CHRONICLE

JJ. Redick wasn’t in Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday afternoon, but Rhode Island’s Jimmy Baron’s performance made it seem like Duke fans were watching Redick on rewind.

It might have seemed that way for Baron, too, who became the sharpshooter he is by watching highlight reels of the former Duke star long ago.

“I know [Jimmy BarGame on] lovedJ.J., and Chris a Analysis Collins would send different drills and different tapes of J.J. for him to watch,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “During one time stop in action I was thinking, 'Why the hell did we do that?”’

Good question.

Krzyzewski had reason to doubt that act of good will as Baron hit shot after shot to keep the Rams in the lead.

The senior scored 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting from long range, and, in perfect Redick style, did not hit any free throws or 2-point field goals. The senior hit a stunning seven threes in the second period, most of them spectacular.

Baron made 3-pointers from the wing, from the corner, and from the top of the key; with a man right in his face, and witli a little breathing room; with his toes right on the 3-point arc, and from one step in front ol the Coach K Court logo on the floor.

Just about every Blue Devil tried bis luck guarding Baron, and Jon Scheyer, Gerald Henderson and Dave McClure all failed to contain him despite leaving him almost no space to release the ball.

“In my younger days, I got to guard a guy named JJ. [Redick] every day in practice, so I kind of had seen some of those go in in the past, but it’s different when it’s happening against you in a crunch game like that,” McClure said. “You do wonder, ‘What can you do?’”

What Duke did was match up Baron |

Singler s five-inch height advantage proved decisive-Baron stands b-foot-3—and the Rams’ sniper did not even attempt a 3-pointer in the game’s final three minutes save for a half-court heave at the buzzer.

didn’t enjoy it. But afterwards, you are go. ing to be cool and say, ‘Man that was cool. 1 really loved all that.’ I’m not sure you go in a game like this while the game is going on and say, ‘Wow, I’m enjoying this.’

“I thought I was playing Spain the way they were hitting that damn thing. I tried to put Dwyane Wade in, and nobody came in. Thank goodness that Jon Scheyer and Kyle did their impersonations real well.”

It would have taken a superhuman performance, though, to match the one Baron posted for the Rams (1-1). He finished with 24 points, including a stretch in which he hit seven 3-pointers in a row in the second half.

In the end, though, Singler’s defensive effort proved to be Baron’s kryptonite. With his team trailing by one and six seconds left, Baron forced a mid-range jumper over Singler.

The Blue Devils (3-0) grabbed the rebound, and Scheyer made two free throws with three seconds left to put Duke up three. Baron’s magic touch finally ran out when his half-court heave at the buzzer slammed off the glass.

“I love those kinds of games,” said Singler, who has led Duke in scoring every game, “When I needed to get that stop on Baron, personally, I knew I was going to stop him, but you don’t want to see that ball go in. It was a very exciting game to play in.... Those are the kind of games you want to play in.”

Despite the final score, Duke played from behind for most of the contest. Down 12 late in the first half, Gerald Henderson took matters into his own hands and electrified the rest of his team and the crowd with an acrobatic dunk. Singler fed him the ball in the left corner from the top of the key, and Henderson flew through the air all the way to the rim. Duke followed on his heels and retained the momentum for the rest of the half to close on an 11-0 run and go into the locker room only down by one.

“The last four minutes of the first half and the last four or five minutes of the game, we had to play outstanding basketball to put us in a position to win because ofwhat they did,” Krzyzewski said. “I really respect what they did. That was a great game for us to be in.”

‘You can’t practice a game like this. The best game played so far in college basketball maybe for the next week or so, maybe until New York. For us to be in it, that’s a good thing.”

One Duke player who was not 100 percent for this game, though, was senior captain Greg Paulus. Paulus took a hard charge on his right arm Friday, and it swelled up to the point that he could not move his fingers, Krzyzewski said. After icing for a night, Paulus was able to partially close his hand Saturday, and recovered enough to participate in the shoot-around before the game and see 11 minutes ofaction.

“That kid played with a lot of guts today because, really, he could not [make a fist] less than 40 hours ago,” Krzyzewski said.

“And he still wanted to play. I would have used him more with Nolan. I just felt that he was going on guts.”

All of the Blue Devils relied on their guts at some point in the game. Whether it was Henderson flying through the air, Singler driving to the hole or Scheyer nailing free throw after free throw, Duke needed all of it to top an opponent which almost shocked the Blue Devils.

“We knew this would be a tough game, especially in between New York,” Krzyzewski said. “But our guys, believe me, we did not look ahead. Our games were ready to play. I’m not down on our team, that team played great If we looked bad, because we probably did a number of times, it was because of how well they played, not how poorly they played. It was all on them. They were that good today.

“They were deserving of winning, but we were too.”

CLEM 31 M Tigers run away from struggling Blue Devils

7 DUKE

by Sam Levy THE CHRONICLE

In the days prior to -Saturday’s game at David Cutcliffe’s greatest concern was whether the Blue Devils would be able to contain the Tigers’ star players and avoid big plays.

After his team’s 31-7 defeat in Death Valley, Cutcliffe’s concern proved to be a valid one.

The Blue Devil coaching staff stressed the issue all week in practice, but the results on the field indicated otherwise.

Duke (4-6,1-5 in the ACC) struggled with Clemson’s playmakers all game, as the running back duo of James Davis and CJ. Spiller and leading wide receiver Aaron Kelly combined for 347 yards of total offense and numerous long-yardage gains for the Tigers (543, 2-4).

“We chart what we call ‘explosives,’ which are running plays of 10 or more yards and pass completions of 16 or more yards,” Cutcliffe said. “Clemson had nine ‘explosives’ compared to our three, and all nine of their big plays contributed directly to their 31 points.”

While the Tigers’ big plays enabled them to light up the scoreboard, an injury to Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis in the first quarter contributed direcdy to the Blue Devils’ struggles on offense.

Lewis was hit by Clemson defensive tackle Rashaad Jackson and came up hobbling after an incomplete pass on Duke’s second drive of the game.The sophomore tried to test his leftfoot on the sideline, but did not see any more action the rest of the way.

X-rays Sunday came back negative, and Lewis is currently day-to-day, Cutcliffe said.

Without the ACC’s leading passer, the Blue Devil offense was stagnant all game.After Lewis picked up two first downs on Duke’s first drive, the Blue Devils did not pick up another first down until the third quarter—and by then, Duke was already trailing by 17.

“When you’re not malting first downs and you’re not keeping the ball, things aren’t easy,” Cutcliffe said.

With Lewis on the bench, Cutcliffe called on backup quarterback Zack Asack to lead the offense down the same field where he threwfor a career-high 328 yards in 2005 as a freshman. Asack saw none of that success Saturday, throwing two interceptions and completing only 10 passes for 61 yards, the bulk of which came on a 28-yard touchdown pass to Eron Riley after Duke had already fallen behind 31-0.

The offense’s struggles withoutits starting signal caller placed a heavy burden on the Blue Devil defense, which was forced to remain on the field for more than 20 minutes in the first half. It hung tough throughout much of the first frame, and trailed only 10-0 with three minutes remaining in the half. But after Cullen CLEMSON, S.C.

With Lewis out, offense stagnates by

Matthew Iles THE CHRONICLE

CLEMSON, S.C. Many coaches share a similar mantra: A game does not come down to just one play. But early in the p, Ijaine first quarter, on what Ulc box Analysis score merely ruled an incomplete pass on third down, Duke’s chances of beating Clemson Saturday seemed to go up in smoke.

Under pressure, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis threw the ball as he was being dragged down, landing awkwardly with his foot caught underneath himself. After leading a decent offense in the first two drives, Lewis never returned to the game after a mid-foot sprain, and backup Zack Asack was called upon to rally the troops.

tered to accommodate the differplaying style of the new signal caller, including an emphasis on designed quarterback draws and an aversion to downfield passes.

Seven of the first eight first-down plays with Asack under center were planned keepers, and most ofhis passes were screens or short dumps. The Blue Devils didn’t convert a single first down for the remainder of the first half.

“Certainly, I haven’t been out there in that long and I was just trying to get the rust off, but when you’re in a situation like that, you have to make the most of it,” Asack said. “Personally, I have to execute more. I wasn’t executing, making the plays. Receivers did a great job, and the line was blocking great, but I justwasn’t producing.”

No matter the result, all that coaches can ask of their players is that they lay their hearts out on the field. At the end of the game, they want their players to have no regrets and to have given their full effort.

Duke left College Park, Md. Sunday with this exact feeling—but unfortunately for the Blue Devils, so did No. 1 aßrmr m Maryland.

DUKE /2 i Duke scored five goals, matching a season high against ACC DUKE but it wasn’t yiUMD e opponents, enough to top the Terrapin,s, which advanced to the NCAA tournament’s final four with an 8-5 win on their home turf. Duke bowed out before the national semifinals for the second consecutive year.

“To come out with a loss like that is pretty devastating,” head coach Beth Bozman said.

“Any time you score five goals, you should be in the winning column.... It’s really unfortunate, as they capitalized on every mistake we had.”

The Blue Devils made some mistakes early on, and the Terrapins (20-2) took advantage of all of them, building up a seemingly insurmountable 5-0 edge At that point, only a gargantuan comeback effort could have put Duke back on the winning side. The team could have folded, yet in a time of adversity, the Blue Devils opted for the opposite approach.

Duke began to chip away before intermission, starting with a goal from senior Marian Dickinson in the last minute of the first half that created a small wave of momentum for Duke.

“We dug ourselves into a big hole, and it takes so much effort to come back from such a deficit

like that,” senior Laura Suchoski said. “We could have easily given up, but we put our hearts out on the line in the second half and had one of our best halves of the season.”

Suchoski, the three-time All-American, led by example. In her team’s valiant second-half comeback, the captain scored goals in the 38th and 55th minutes, even though the Terrapins managed to add two tallies in between Suchoski’s scores and an additional one after. With the score 8-3 and less than seven minutes left in the game,Duke still did not give up.

Following Duke’s captains, freshman Rhian Jones scored on a backhanded shot in the 67th minute. Dickinson, a co-captain and the team’s leading scorer, posted a goal in the game’s final seconds.

“The team played withunbelievable heart,” Bozman said. “They worked, never gave up for a second and we even scored a goal as time expired....

The effort speaks to this team, their perseverance and their commitment to the program.”

FRONTCOURT from SW page

McCallie’s decision to play a 3-2 zone defense instead of man-to-man tipped the game’s balance in the Blue Devils’ favor once the second half began. The defensive switch not only disrupted Riley’s offensive rhythm, but also provided the impetus forDuke’s comeback run that ultimately put the game out of the Cowgirls’ reach.

“It was definitely our defense that sparked that,” senior guard Abby Waner said. “I think it was a smart adjustment on our part, and it’s definitely something we know has to be a go-to in order to get some energy going on the offensive end.”

Junior forward Joy Cheek’s 3-pointer 29 seconds into the second period catalyzed that offensive energy, and Black took over from there, scoring 10 points in a five-minute span. Her layup with 12:54 remaining capped off a 21-2 run and put Duke (2-0) ahead 56-46, forcing Oklahoma State (0-1) to call a timeout.

Waner, the team’s sharpshooter, only made two baskets on the night, but they came at arguably the game’s most critical time. Both were 3-pointers on consecutive possessions that sustained the run and sent the home crowd into a frenzy.

The Blue Devils eventually pushed their lead to 13 and never trailed again, but the Cowgirls whittled the margin down to five with 2:43 left after a three-minute field goal drought for Duke.

Black made sure Oklahoma State came no closer for the rest of the contest by knocking down a jumper at the 2:17 mark.

She could not seem to miss in the second half, shooting 8-for-9 from the field. Her three blocks in the period were also a testament to the Blue Devils’ increased defensive intensity.

“I thought we sort of messed around in the first half,” McCallie said. “We didn’t defend as well, and in the second half, holding them to no layups made, one transition 3 and 24 points was more up our alley.”

And by winning a game that resembled an NCAA Tournament battle more than a typical season opener against an overmatched opponent, Duke already knows it can compete with the nation’s best.

“Anytime you can have a March game in November—you just got to love that,” McCallie said. “I don’t think you can ask for anything better in terms of starting out, coming back and staying together as a team.”

boards and grab an offensive rebound, resulting in long, multi-shot possessions.

“I told the girls before the game that the difference in the game was going to be the rebounding,” Budke said. “I thought if we could justbe even that we could win the ball game.”

They were not even close—Duke won the rebounding battle, 57-42.

The Blue Devils’ powerful inside game controlled the defensive end of the floor, as well, forcing the Cowgirls to be one-dimensional offensively. Riley went 3-for-16 from the field in the second half, heaving up deep, contested 3-point attempts largely because she had nowhere else to go. Black, Gay and the rest of the Blue Devil frontline shut down Oklahoma State forwards’s—Megan Byford and Shyvon Smith, two starters, managed only one point between them in 43 total minutes.

Byford also drew the task of anchoring Oklahoma State’s 2-3 zone, which meant trying to stop Black. And on

this night, that was simply not going to happen.

“She (Black) scored having four girls hanging on her about three times in a row,” senior guard Abby Waner said.

“She does everything.”

In this contest, she needed to. On a night when starting guards Waner and Jasmine Thomas went a combined 4-of-18 from the field, the Blue Devils leaned on their star. Black held strong under the pressure, scoring six points in a row in a key stretch in the second half thatsealed the Duke victory.

“She inspires me to play well,” Waner said. “I have never wanted to see a player succeed and score more than Chante, because she can.”

ANALYSIS from SW page 5 the defense was forced to stay on the field longer than it had expected against one of the most explosive offenses in the ACC. At first, Duke was doing an admirable job containing the athletic offense spearheaded, by the dynamic tandem of running backs CJ. Spiller and James Davis.

But as time wore on, the Blue Devils simply became exhausted, as Clemson ran a total of 23 more offensive plays than Duke.

“The team that makes the most first downs is probably going to win it, because that’s the offense that’s staying on the field and keeping their defense fresh,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Obviously, we had a tough time doing that.”

“That’s part of football,” defensive tackle Vince Oghobaase said. “Whatever happens on either side of the football, we have to go out each series and play. I can’t control what the offense does. I can only control what I do and what the defense does.”

Although CutclifFe said Asack is put through the same number of repetitions and through the same playcalling as Lewis and the rest of the first-team offense in practice, it appeared as though Duke was playing with a limited playbook behind Asack.

Perhaps because of the rust gathered from not seeing serious playing time since his freshman year, Asack had trouble hitting his targets accurately. As the Tigers began building a sizablelead and Duke was obligated to air it out in hopes of making a quick comeback, the Blue Devils called more and more deep passing plays later in the game.

Lewis commanded only two series, but his 24 yards were more than a third of Asack’s 61 on the day—proof that Asack never established a rhythm as he finished 10-of-22 with a late touchdown and two interceptions.

“I felt like we had a good plan —a lot of it, unfortunately, surrounded Thad and how we were going to try to play this game,” CutclifFe said. “Zack fought his rear end off. It’s tough being a backup quarterback. One of the things you tell them, and it’s very difficult mentally, is everyday is your game day... You’re only one snap away always.”

be able to eat the food they pay for.

This Spring, a trial phase of this plan will go into effect, wherein 10 percent of freshmen will have access to the Great Hall lunch credit.

This seems to be a reasonable precursor to the completion of such a plan.

A semester-long trial, however, has some problems.

During the Spring semester, for example, tenting, rush, pledging and the absence of FOCUS classes on East Campus ensure thatfreshman life is more focused on West than during the Fall semester. For this reason, the results of this trial are likely to be skewed; It will indicate thatfreshmen would eat at the Great Hall more often than they actually would during the course

of an entire year.

Despite this small obstacle, there is no valid argument that can be made against allowing freshmen some access to meal creditcovered dining on West.

Of course, there is a value in the cohesion that dining in the Marketplace creates within the freshman class, but allowing freshmen to take a few already paid-for lunches on West will not seriously disrupt the ordinary flow of East Campus life.

Rather, by ensuring that the freshman meal plan keeps students well-fed, cuts down on the amount of wasted money and responds to the realities offreshman life, the new plan would only add to the quality of the freshman experience.

If

you ever end a conversation with, “There are options—we will either be kidnapped or have the time of our lives,” you should probably turn back and stay at home.

Luckily, though, we didn’t.

It was 11 p.m.

Sjunday dr night, ht am'd Mahmood—a taxi driver that one of my friends had casually struck up a conversation with and befriended—was coming to pick us up. yousei abugharbieh Earlier that the arab street day, my friend had been riding in Mahmood’s black-and-white back to the upscale residential neighborhood where we both live, when he had decided he had enough up the cloistered expat experience.

Mahmood, 1 want to see Cairo, the Cairo you know.

Take me somewhere interesting. Anywhere.

And Mahmood, the good-natured man that he is, turned the cab around and took my friend to his neighborhood, Imam Shaifi—a place where narrow streets are filled with children and a pungent mixture of car exhaust and fragrant spices.

Mahmood introduced my friend to his friends and even his mother. As my friend sat at a sidewalk cafe trading jokes with Mahmood and his middle-age buddies smoking sheesha, he caught the attention of a local politician. Not many white American college students come to Imam Shaifi, so naturally the politician, who turned out be a member of the Cairo City council, was intrigued.

He took him out to lunch, and afterward invited him to come back later that evening for a small political meeting.

When my friend invited me to tag along for the night, I was excited but a little skeptical.

So, let me get this straight—were going to a semislum thatyou actually don’t the exact location of to go to a political meeting of an undetermined nature.

And still we went. Once I met Mahmood, though, I felt much more at ease, though we still didn t know what meeting we were going to or why.

Before heading to the meeting, we stopped for sheesha and tea and talked to a few locals. Because the meeting still hadn’t gotten underway by midnight, Mahmood decided to show us another side ofCairo: the City of the Dead. two

ing plans offer no choice of where meals can be obtained.

Duke Student Government, in conjunction with Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst, is considering a commendable revision to this inflexible meal structure.

Under the proposed plan, freshmen would be able to use the $6 lunch credit to eat at the Great Hall as well as the Marketplace. Because the same food contractor, Bon Appetit, manages both eating halls, it does not appear that any money would be lost, and only a potential shuffling of staff and resources would need to take place.

This is an excellent plan, and both DSG and Dining Services should move ahead with this plan as soon as possible. Freshmen should

The drive between the City’s tombs was eerie. No one was the except for a pack of feral dogs, which Mahmood—despite our protests insisted on driving right through. He took us to the tomb of Abdel Halim Hafez, one of Egypt’s most famous singers who in his heyday two generations ago was the heartthrob of women across the Arab world, so much so that four Egyptian women committed suicide after learning he had died in 1977.

After spending a few minutes outside Abdel Halim’s tomb and commenting on what a bizarre detour we’d taken, we headed to the meeting. It was sort of a town hall forum in the bottom of a granite factory headed up by the local member of Egypt’s Majlis-ash-Shura, the equivalent of the U.S. Senate.

We were seated at the front of the meeting, and much to our surprise asked to give a little speech about ourselves, the United States and its relationship with Egypt. Stammering, in broken Arabic, we talked about international relations and the possibility for understanding as much as one can with an elementary school vocabulary.

Soon after, the meeting got underway. Ahmed Salaama, the member of the Majlis-ash-Shura and a member of Mubarak’s national party, presided over the meeting with certain authority. Salaama, a man whose barrel chest and square jaw projected power, settled disputes between tenants and landlords, gave loans to people getting married and provided assistance to the exceptionally indigent.

His word was the final word.

All the while we were offered an endless stream of cigarettes, tea and sweets. When we left around 3 a.m. the meeting was still going on.

The whole experience—Mahmood’s hospitality and getting to see the Egyptian government function, albeit in a limited and censored way was extremely refreshing.

I tried to imagine the reverse happening in the United States—a foreigner walking around New York or Chicago and being welcomed without reservation to share in political and social life.

I don’t think it would happen.

There are many things about Egypt that, as an American, frustrate and bewilder me to no end, but I’ve come to appreciate that the sort of experience I had last Sunday—a mix of the surreal and the sublime—doesn’t exist in many other places.

Only in Egypt.

That sinking feeling

In

April 2004, President George W. Bush was visibly stumped when asked to name his big-

gest mistake since Sept. 11. Last week, he was asked the same question again. He is no longer speechless, but still has no substantive answer—when pressed, he said he wished he’d phrased a few things more “artfully,” without naming a single action he regrets. A certain ~

president-elect may be able to think of a few.

I am referring, jamie friedland of course, to Presidem-elect Mo- foe political climate hamed Nasheed of the Maldives.

Located off India’s southern coast, the Maldives is composed of 1,192 islets, about a quarter ofwhich are inhabited. It is also one of the island nations that will be the first victims of rising sea levels.

Sea levels have risen about 8 inches in the last century as a result of melting terrestrial ice and the thermal expansion of seawater. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the scientific authority on global warming, projects that sea levels could rise up to 2 feet higher by the year 2100. That may not seem like much, but for a country whose highest point is 7.5 feet above the water (with most ground well below that), this is cause for concern. Especially when you consider that after the 2004 earthquake that unleashed tsunamis around the Indian Ocean, 82 people died and the Maldives suffered $375 million in damage—when it was struck by a wave barely a meter high.

As anyone who’s ever tried to defend a sandcastle from the tide knows, the ocean is pretty difficult to stop and normally wins. Nasheed has apparently spent some time on his country’s vanishing world-class beaches. In order to secure the future of his people, he recently announced that he will set aside a portion of the Maldives’ tourism revenue to establish a fund. With this money, he plans to buy land in India, Sri Lanka or Australia as an “insurance policy” for nearly 400,000 Maldivians should their country succumb to the effects of climate change.

Who is responsible for this climate crisis?

Many people, myself among them, say the United States. Although it would be unfair to blame climate change solely on our current president, the Bush II administration has certainly contributed. In 1988, George H. W. Bush said, “Those who think we are powerless to do anything about the greenhouse effect are forgetting about the White House effect.” But he could not have imagined just how powerful that White House effect could be. Or that it would

be used to preserve the dangerous status quo.

For the last eight years, politics have unequivocally trumped science, even at the Environmental Protection Agency. In 2001, George W. Bush selected Philip Cooney to be his chief of stafffor the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Cooney, who had no scientific training and previously worked for the American Petroleum Institute (the oil industry’s main lobbying group), was soon discovered to have edited and removed sections of finalized government research to make climate change seem less serious. Cooney resigned two days after his actions were exposed and promptly took a job at Exxon. Sadly, this was not an isolated incident.

Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show that White House officials consulted with Exxon before Bush rejected the Kyoto Protocol. A House of Representatives committee report in 2007 found that the Bush administration had edited congressional testimony on climate science and key legal opinions, and kept scientists from talking to reporters! And despite the unanimous recommendation of his advisers, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson denied California’s waiver to implement higher vehicle emissions standards after reportedly being pressured

by Bush himself. This denial was completely unexpected and unsupported; EPA officials scrambled pitifully to assemble some sort ofretroactive justification, which is currently under investigation.

But the most incredible story comes from Jason Burnett, a former associate deputy administrator of the EPA who resigned this summer. In April 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases are a pollutant and as such must be regulated. The following December, Burnett e-mailed a White House office the EPA’s proposed rule to limit emissions. When officials heard he was sending that e-mail, they called to order him not to send it When he told them he already had, they actually demanded he recall the e-mail (this can be done in some programs). He refused. In June, The New York Times discovered that because the White House did not want to act on the information in the e-mail, they simply had never opened it They even told the EPA they could not evaluate the proposal because “the e-mail message containing the document would not be opened.”

This is the kind of administration I cannot wait to see leave. Climate change is real and largely our fault. I don’t agree with all of President-elect Barack Obama’s environmental policies, but I do look forward to having a leader who actually understands the threats we face and will treat them with the gravity that they deserve. And just in time: Neither the Maldives nor America can afford any more of the same.
