’Dillo bar open, Loop gets license Despite new beer permit, Loop may not serve alcohol for months By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

The recent opening of the Armadillo Grill’s bar and The Loop’s acquisition of a beer license may be good news for students wishing to buy some brew on food points. Although Loop franchises have sold beer for years, alcohol sales at Duke have been slow to come; managers are in no hurry to expedite the process. “We don’t expect it to be implemented for another couple of months,” said Dennis Lane,

manager of The Loop’s Duke franchise. “We’ve got the permits. We just have to go pick up the package, and we have been lazy about it. It will definitely be some time in the distant future.” The hesitation to begin alcohol sales is partly due to fear that alcohol will change the eatery’s atmosphere. “We’re not trying to turn this place into a bar,” Lane said. “All Loop franchises have a family atmosphere, and we want to keep that even though

we are on campus and don’t get a lot of families. It will be a place where people can come to get a couple of beers, not a place to come and get drunk.”

Lane said he believes that because of its family atmosphere, The Loop will not compete with Armadillo for alcohol sales. He does anticipate a positive response from students who miss the Hideaway, a student-run bar that closed at the end oflast year. Jim Wulforst, director of See BEER on page 9 �

Student reports robbery at gunpoint in Blue Zone From staff reports

A POLICE CAR SITS IDLE in the first lot on the left in the Blue Zone, following a report of armed robbery there.

to live with friends from their freshman dorms, as proposed under the linked houses system. See page 3

Campus police are searching for suspects after a student reported being assaulted at gunpoint at around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night in the Blue Zone undergraduate parking area. The student was getting out of a vehicle in the first lot on the left and was approached by a man wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. The suspect asked the student, “What you got?” before pulling out a gun. The student gave him a wallet, containing about $3O and some identification, and the suspect told the student not to turn around and not to look. The subject then left the area. The student was not hurt. Police closed the Blue Zone for a short period after the assault, turning away several undergraduate parkers, but the lots were soon reopened.

International students now comprise a majority of applicants to the Graduate School. This mirrors a national trend. See page 3

This is the first reported incident of assault in the Blue Zone since the lots opened as the main undergraduate parking area in August 2000. There have only been three reported incidents of vehicle break-ins in the lots since then. Since the opening, some students have complained that the Blue Zone’s expansiveness and distance from West Campus make the lots unsafe, but police officials have consistently urged students to park their cars in the lots because of the heightened level of security. The lots have security cameras as well as larger fences and more lighting than any other parking area on campus. Police also monitor the area, as they do all West Campus parking. If a student feels unsafe parking in the area, DUPD has recommended calling ahead for an escort, using one of the lots’ emergency phones, calling Safeßides at 684-SAFE or walking with a Mend.

Duke researchers say acupuncture may be more effective than prescription drugs at reducing pain after major breast surgery. See page 4

Anthrax discovered near White House By SANDRA SOBIERAJ The Associated Press WASHINGTON President George W. Bush said confidently Tuesday that “I don’t have anthrax” after biohazard testing at the White House and the discovery of anthrax on a mail-opening machine at a screening facility six miles away. All White House mail—more than 40,000 letters a week—is examined at military facilities across the Potomac River. “Let me put it this way,” Bush said. “I’m confident that when I come to work tomorrow, I’ll be safe.” Asked if he was tested for the germ that has killed three people already this month, or if he was taking precautionary antibiotics, Bush replied simply: “I don’t have anthrax.” At least some White House personnel were given

On the night of the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was “a precaution,” according to one person directly involved. At that time, nobody could guess the dimensions ofthe terrorists’ plot. Now, Bush said, “There’s no question that the evil-doers are continuing to try to harm America and Americans.” The president spoke in an afternoon Cabinet Room meeting with members ofCongress, minutes after his press secretary announced that a “small concentration” of anthrax spores were found on the slitter machine that opens White See ANTHRAX on page 7 s*■

Last year, international students’ applications to the Graduate School outnumbered those from U.S. students for the first time. Ofthe 5,500 applications for the Graduate School last year, nearly 53 percent of them came from international students.

International student support As numbers grow, the University is seeking better ways to prepare international students for life at Duke. See page 7

The percent of international students

actually admitted was however substantially lower; of the nearly 1,400 students offered admission to Duke 478 international students. Lewis Siegel, dean of the Graduate School, said the proportion of international students has been on the rise in graduate programs all across the United States. “It’s a reflection of the fact that the population ofUS. citizens applying to Ph.D. programs has been dropping every decade,” he said. Siegel added that the strong economy in the 1990s has been a major impetus for US. undergraduates to go directly into the workforce, rather than to gradu-

ate school. “There’s certainly been an increase of international graduate students in our department,” said Henry Weller, director of graduate studies in the

physics department. “It’s more like 50-50 now in terms of class composition,” he said. Weller said that because domestic student interest in physics has receded consistently throughout the decades, especially in the 1990s because of the good economy, graduate departments, especially those in the sciences, have turned

to international talent, Michail Lagoudakis, who got his undergraduate degree in Greece, came to Duke for graduate research in computer science.

“Graduate school in Greece is not so well developed,” he said. “The programs are not so well organized, and I guess this is because they don’t have the resources.” Bertie Belvin, assistant dean for graduate school admissions, said international students in the United States have told their friends in their home countries about U.S. schools, thus creating an amplifying effect.

“Students from outside the U.S. come and go back to their home country, building a reputation for schools,” she said. This was especially true for China, she said, explaining that the country has both continued repression at home and loosened restrictions on foreign travel.

Gan: Acupuncture helps breast patients •

EKGs may not show heart attack severity

Heart attack patients with normal electrocardiagram readings may be in more danger than doctors realized. Unexpectedly high death rates were found in a Wayne State University study of hospitalized heart attack patients whose initial electrocardiogram readings were normal. The findings suggest such patients may need more aggressive treatment than previously thought, researchers said. The patients’ initial hospital work-ups included EKGs, which look for abnormal electrical patterns in heart activity. The researchers had expected that patients with normal test results would have better short-term survival rates than those with abnormal results. And, indeed, the normal-EKG patients were 41 percent less likely to die while hospitalized than the patients with abnormal EKGs. Still, nearly 6 percent in the normalEKG group died. That is about triple the rate researchers had expected given previous studies. •

Ulcer patients not told about aspirin risk

A study of more than 4,000 Medicare patients with peptic ulcers suggests many are not being warned against using pain relievers such as aspirin and ibuprofen, which can cause the ailment or make it worse. Less than a third of patients in the study were told about the risks of those medicines, which are called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, or NSAIDS. About 25 million Americans develop peptic ulcers, which are raw areas or holes in the stomach or other parts of the digestive tract. While experts think about 70 to 90 percent are caused by a treatable germ called Helicobacter pylori, NSAIDS are a major cause of the remainder.

AROUND THE WORLD

Cancer drug could treat heart disease

A cancer drug has been shown to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in oxygen-starved areas of the heart, offering a potential new treatment for people with clogged heart arteries. The new vessels redirect blood flow around the clogged arteries in an approach that is considered safer than bypass surgery or balloon angioplasty. Swiss scientists studied 21 people, some of whom received injections of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or GM-CSF. After two weeks, the 10 who got GMCSF had substantially more improvement in blood flow than those who did not get the drug, said Dr. Christian Seiler of University Hospital in Bern. •

Simpler cancer surgery may be possible

New surgical techniques could save the lymph nodes after breast cancer surgery, according to Dr. Umberto Veronesia, a leading expert. Traditional breast surgery involves removing all the lymph glands in the armpit to determine if the tumor has spread. Most of the time in early breast cancer, it has not. However, about 20 percent of women then suffer the rest of their lives from swelling in their arms, which can painfully balloon to twice the normal size and leave them disabled and prone to infections. Veronesi presented new evidence at a meeting of the Federation of European Cancer Societies that indicated that first removing only one key node for testing was as accurate a predictor as cutting them all out. •

Canada leads in cancer research quality

American scientists conduct more than a third of the world’s research on cancer treatment, but Canada, the Netherlands, Britain and Australia are doing it better, new research suggests. A first-of-its-kind table ranks each country according to the impact of the cancer research produced between 1995 and 1999, based on the scientific papers its scientists produced.

Acupuncture has the power to reduce nausea and vomiting after major breast surgery and may work better than the most commonly used medication, according to a new study conducted by Duke researchers. Breast surgery typically causes post-operative vomiting in 60 to 70 percent ofwomen who have it, said Dr. Tong Joo Gan, an associate professor in the department of anesthesiology and head of the research team. Previous studies have demonstrated that acupuncture is significantly more effective than a post-operative placebo in reducing nausea and vomiting. The recent findings, however, showed the direct capacity of acupuncture to decrease post-surgical sickness, compared with Zofran, the most commonly used drug for reducing sickness. In addition, women treated with acupuncture reported that they experienced much less pain 24 hours after surgery than those who had not received the treatment. “It is a little surprising that patients who have [received] acupuncture have better pain relief and control,” Gan said. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that the human body has as many as 2,000 acupunture points, which are connected by 20 pathways called meridians. These meridians conduct energy, or qi, between the surface of the body and its internal organs. Acupuncture is believed to maintain the normal flow of qi throughout the body. The Duke researchers employed electroacupuncture, a method that uses an electrode at the appropriate point on the body. The acupuncture device is attached during surgery and

removed afterwards, Gan said. The increasing success of acupuncture in clinical trials may point to its

treating pain, Gan said.

“The use of acupuncture is clearly not confined to breast surgery,” Gan said. “It is good for people to be more familiar with the idea of acupuncture as a less orthodox type of therapy.” How acupuncture works to relieve pain is not clear. Animal and human studies suggest that it causes the release of pain-reducing hormones and endorphins. Another possibility is that it stimulates the nervous system.

The precise mechanism of acupuncture’s effects in reducing nausea and vomiting has not yet been determined either, but Gan said that it may work by increasing motility of the bowels. Other opportunities for the role of acupuncture in reducing post-operative pain may exist as the result of future developments. “The time is right to be doing more studies to assess critically how to implement Eastern medicine into Western practices,” Gan said.

Anthrax studies point to future treatments Researchers have discovered the structures of the bacterial proteins used to enter and kill cells By MALCOLM RITTER The Associated Press

Two new findings may someday help doctors deal a one-two punch against inhaled anthrax, targeting not only anthrax bacteria with drugs like Cipro but also the poison those bacteria pump out. It’s the toxin that kills, and by the time a person shows symptoms of inhaled anthrax, antibiotics become less effective because they don’t deal with the toxin already produced by the germs. The new work, announced Tuesday, may help scientists find ways to neutralize that toxin. Any new medicines, though, would be years away. In one study, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Harvard Medical School said they had idem tified the chemical foothold that anthrax toxin uses to get inside cells and kill them. In the other, researchers at the Bumham Institute in La Jolla, Calif, Harvard and elsewhere said they have found the structure of a protein that does the toxin’s dirty work, a discovery that aids in the search for substances to block it.

Anthrax bacteria create three proteins that team up to make its toxin. One, called protective antigen or PA, latches onto a specific target on the surface of cells and paves the way for the other two proteins to enter, Until now, nobody has known what the target was. That “has been sort of a holy grail for anthrax research for quite a while,” said Nicholas Duesbery of the Van Andel Research Institute in Grand Rapids, Mich. The mystery was solved by John Young of the University of WisconsinMadison with colleagues there and at Harvard Medical School. They named the cell-surface protein they identified ATR for “anthrax toxin receptor.” They also found that artificial versions of ATR could keep the toxin from killing cells in a laboratory dish, by actmg as decoys that diverted the toxin from binding to the cells, Young said, So treatments with bogus ATR might someday be able to protect people who have been exposed to anthrax, he said in a telephone interview. However, the idea hasn’t been tested on animals yet

The work could also aid the search for substances that interfere more directly with the toxin’s attempts to bind ATR, he said. The other finding reveals the detailed, three-dimensional makeup of “lethal factor,” one ofthe toxin proteins that enters cells. Once it gets inside immune system cells called macrophages, it destroys them, leading to shock and often death for victims ofinhaled anthrax. The discovery of lethal factor’s structure should enable scientists to design molecules that can grab onto the protein and disable it, said Robert Liddington of the Burnham Institute, an author ofthe paper. “Maybe a year from now we’d actually have some compounds that would work,” but they’d still have to go through rigorous testing before they could be used in people, said Liddington. Scientists had already been able to protect animals from the toxin by using other proteins that block its effect, although they warn their efforts are probably years away from useful medicines.

Israeli officials said that they would not pull out of the towns until Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat turns over Zeevi’s assassins and stamps out rogue military groups. But Israel TV reported Tuesday that some troops might be pulled back as a gesture to the United States. In the last eight months, Israel occasionally has sent its military into West Bank and Gaza areas that were handed over to Palestinian rule in interim peace deals. In all cases, troops pulled out within days. The current thrust is the largest. Monday, State Department spokesperson Philip Reeker called for an end to the incursions. In Washington, Bush also called on Arafat to arrest the assassins ofZeevi “and others who would harm Israeli civilians.” He called the assassination “unacceptable behavior.” See

Duke looks for ways to D.C. mail facility closes help international students Administrators plan to expand courses that teach students essential skills in English By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

As the number of international students grows, the Graduate School is now examining how to accommodate these students’ needs in areas such as language training, funding and visa organization. Sarah Parker, program coordinator of English for International Students, noted the lack of teaching assistant training in the Graduate School.

“It came about because there was no course here, and TA training is a pretty big thing that most, if not all, of our peer institutions all around the country offer,” Parker said, adding that she hopes to expand the current teaching assistant training program at the Pratt School of Engineering to the Graduate School, All students who come to Duke, like those at many top institutions, must See HELP on page 8 �

She said those who know English and have an American degree have an advantage in the global job market. “American degrees are very well recognized in different types of businesses,”

she said. “Knowing how to speak English is a definite plus.” Belvin said that the school does not have a quota for international students, but rather, departments look at the entire pool of students and bring in the best in each field. “It’s a decision based on a match,” Belvin said. “It’s a situation where we’re looking for the best and the brightest students, international and US,” he said.

At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue regular biohazard testing has been stepped up in the past month and no traces of anthrax have been found, said presidential spokesperson Ari Fleischer. Security officials were apparently spooked even before Tuesday’s discovery at Bolling, which handles mail processed through the Brentwood postal facility, and halted mail delivery

dles mail to the Secret Service, “has been closed for further testing and decontamination,” Fleischer said. All employees there and in mailrooms within the White House complex—which includes the mansion, its East and West Wings, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building—were being tested for exposure to anthrax. The Secret Service said no one connected with the mail facility at Bolling has reported anthrax-like symptoms.

The Graduate School is responsible for making sure all graduate students’ English skills are adequate and administering its own speaking and writing tests. Most students must then take writing and oral communication courses to learn applicable English. In 2001, the Graduate School tested 127 out of the 180 new inter-

national students. Fifty of those students, Parker said, were exempted from one or both of the courses because of their performance on the tests. “Their personal statements are often the longest piece ofwriting in English they’ve done,” Parker said. “[The problems] aren’t grammar or vocabulary problems. The biggest issue is learning the rhetorical patterns of academic writing.” But some graduate students report that many problems the University has not addressed have little to do with what goes on inside the classroom.

That’s a problem.” Catheryn Gotten, director of the International Office, said it is difficult for many foreign students to get work visas because they are here on F-l or J-l student visas that do not allow them to work full-time outside their departments. Gotten added that her office has taken the lead in reorganizing visa services to keep better records of

students. Duke was one of nine pilot schools to experiment with a precursor to a new national program, the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, that more closely tracks students who do not show up for school or do not continue their education. “Under the new system, we have to renew the document every year or so,” said Michail Lagoudakis, a graduate student in computer science, who said the new bar-coded documents are easier to use. “Before we travel out of the country, we have to get a new copy. Every year, they ensure, more or less, you are still in the program,” he said.

THE LOOP’S restaurant on 15-501 in Chapel Hill serves beer; its branch at the University will soon do the same.

Armadillo bar open after trying search for bartenders P- BEER from page 1

Dining Services, agreed and praised the variety of alcohol vendors on campus.

“It’s convenient. Like everything else we have on campus, we want to make it easy,” Wulforst said. “It’s part of a social learning experience, and that’s an important part of being a Duke student. The goal is to serve beer and wine in a controlled environment and have bartenders who check for valid IDs.” Lack of bartenders was the reason the Armadillo Grill’s lower bar remained closed for several months at the beginning ofthe school year. “We had some delay because it was hard to get bartenders,” said Armadillo Manager Moe Salim. Armadillo owner Gary Harrison could not be reached for comment. Last year, the Armadillo Grill employed student bartenders, but they had to find professional bartenders this year, due to a change in alcohol policy. “It’s a missed opportunity for him as far as I’m concerned, but he said it was because ofstaffproblems,” Wulforst said.

Wulforst was not worried about the effects the delayed opening would have on Armadillo’s revenue or its student

patrons. “Alcohol was available [to students]; it just wasn’t available at the level you have at the bar. Also, liquor sales have been less than 10 percent of revenue for Armadillo sales,” Wulforst said. As was the case last year, students can also purchase alcohol at the Oak Room, which recently installed a freestanding bar. Skye Alexander, assistant manager of the Oak Room, said the restaurant, which now offers wine and beer, has no plans to offer hard liquor, since the University prohibits it.

She said she feels the Oak Room seeks

an older crowd and does not compete

with the Armadillo Grill and The Loop. “We offer a service to the older crowd, faculty and staff and people like that, who want to come and have a few drinks after work with some friends and socialize in a relaxed, classy atmosphere,” Alexander said.

Arafat charges Israel with ignoring demands of U.S. � ISRAEL from page 6 Peres, who also met with Secretary of

State Colin Powell, told Israel TV that Israel would pull out “soon.” Peres said Bush told him violence in the Middle East was making it more difficult to maintain the U.S.-led anti-terrorism coalition against the Taliban and Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. In Gaza, Arafat charged that Israel is ignoring the U.S. demands. “The Israeli position is a very dangerous one,”he said. In Nablus Tuesday, thousands joined a funeral procession for Ayman Halaweh, a top bombmaker for the Islamic militant group Hamas, killed in an explosion in his car Monday. Palestinians blamed Israel for the blast and chanted calls for revenge at the funeral.

Israel did not claim responsibility but said Halaweh had crafted bombs for attacks that killed 48 people. In the past year Israel has killed more than 50 Palestinians, including numerous bystanders, in targeted attacks on militants it blamed for plotting attacks on its civilians. The incursions have also exposed cracks in Sharon’s broad-based coalition, with moderates uncomfortable with the operation and suspicious that Sharon was pursuing a strategy aimed at bringing down Arafat. Foreign Ministry official official Gideon Meir insisted Tuesday that Israel would withdraw “immediately after it will clean up the terrorist nests which are deep-rooted there.”

referendums in 1998. The agreement aims to heal divisions and end violence between Protestants and Catholics through the creation of a power-sharing government, but that plan’s implementation has continually been snagged by the impasse over disarmament. In the most recent instance, the Protestant ministers of the ruling Cabinet submitted staged resignations last week in protest over the IRA’s refusal to

begin disarming. Protestant paramilitary groups have also not destroyed their weapons, but the focus has been on the IRA because its arsenal is far and away the largest, and because it is the only armed group with political representatives in the government. The Ulster Unionists, the province’s largest Protestant party, has objected to Sinn Fein remaining in government while it insists on maintaining a fully armed military auxiliary. The effect of the resignations was to create a deadline of midnight Thursday by which Britain’s Northern Ireland secretary, John Reid, must either persuade the Protestant ministers to return to government or take the unwanted step of shutting the government down and restoring direct rule ofthe

the prior disarmament that many in his party demanded. Each bruising vote has cost him support, and it is thought that only a bare majority of the party still backs the peace agreement. At the same time, he has insisted repeatedly that the IRA’s unwillingness to disarm was the sole obstacle to moving forward, and he was consequently expected to accept the action as long as de Chastelain gives it his official blessing. Many people who have followed the stop-and-go struggle of recent years to bring political stability to Northern Ireland thought the IRA would never part with its guns and explosives. There are many republicans in Northern Ireland who wish the IRA was not doing so now, and Tuesday’s statement said, “No one should doubt the difficulties these initiatives cause of us, our volunteers and our supporters.” The IRA complained that its opponents had “at every opportunity used the issue of arms as an excuse to undermine and frustrate progress.”

The IRA, which has consistently claimed it would never respond to pressure brought by the British government or Ulster’s Protestant politicians, acknowledged in its statement that “the political process is on the point of collapse. Such a collapse would certainly, and eventually, put the overall peace

But Sinn Fein leaders found themselves under intense pressure to deliver IRA disarmament in recent weeks as President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain declared war on international terrorism.

The support of what Adams fondly calls “Irish America” is crucial to republicans. Sinn Fein also faced anger from the Bush administration over disclosures this summer that three IRA members were arrested in Colombia on charges that they had been giving weapons instruction to drug-running, left-wing guerrillas that the United States is helping Colombia to combat. There also was compelling evidence for Sinn Fein that Britain was prepared to reward the IRA initiative by dealing with some major republican concerns by reforming the predominantly Protestant police force to make it acceptable to Catholics and stepping up the removal of military watch towers, garrisons and troops from the North.

ty, Campus Council president. Recently the group has been involved with policy discussions on electricity problems in Trent and smoke-free zones in dorms, but the council will also interview candidates for the 10 residence coordinator positions who will oversee quad life. The residential system has about 600 representatives, although that number may decrease because

house councils will likely be absorbed into quad councils. Campus Council, which oversees all the councils, has 16 voting members, including its four executive officers. All together, the councils control over $500,000 in residential programming fee funds. Quad councils elect representatives to Campus Council, who then choose the four executive officers. Devisetty said that having the student body elect the group’s leader would jeopardize the experience gained each year. To others, having directly elected leaders is more important. “If you’re going to have a body with that much money, why should it be under the authority of an unelected student body?” said senior C.J. Walsh,

president of DSG, who served on Campus Council for two years. “I’m not sure Campus Council has all the viewpoints represented it could have.” Walsh and his five vice presidents are directly elected by undergraduates. He said that Campus Council was not established for policy-making, but acknowledged that DSG could be more responsive to students. “Right now, we really want the legislators to be working more with their constituents,” he said. “The way they’ve worked in the past, they’ve represented the campus instead of the people who elected them.” DSG is split into committees, and in addition to the five executive members, it has appointed Cabinet members and several ad hoc committees. Among those committees is the Student Organization Finance Committee, which annually distributes over $430,000 to student groups from the student activity fee. Walsh said the committee may move to Campus Council or the Union, or to a new organization controlling all student funding. Unlike Campus Council and DSG, the Union does not make policy; rather, it funds and sponsors pro-

grams designed to have appeal across the University. The Union supports several events and some standing groups, such as Cable 13. It may make sense, Beecham said, to involve the Union more in student funding and other campus events like Last Day of Classes and Devil’s Eve, both sponsored by Campus Council. Particularly, Beecham said the Union should have more input in campus-wide facility and infrastructure issues. The Union is governed by its president, several other executive officers and its board, which also includes faculty and staff. The Union’s officers are elected from within, a fact that Beecham said reflects the need to have experienced leaders. “That’s a lot of student money without accountability,” Devisetty said. “On the flip side, they have more administration advisors than any other student group.” The Union receives most of its $400,000-plus budget from the undergraduate activity fee, but it also receives money from Student Affairs and from graduate and professional students.

Wolfpack look to feed upon Duke’s misfortune By FOZAIL ALVI The Chronicle

Coaches hate talking about it, gamblers love banking on it, and according to Red Sox fans, Boston is doomed never to find it (thanks to Babe Ruth). The game is luck, and it seems to have eluded the Duke women’s soccer team all season long. But as the Blue Devils suffered their third straight ACC overtime loss to a nationally ranked team this past Saturday evening, coach .Robbie Church and his players can only look ahead, as they take on the N.C. State Wolfpack at 7 p.m. Wednesday night at the WRAL Soccer Complex in Raleigh. “We probably don’t want to see overtime any more this season,” Church jokingly said. ‘We really have been unlucky this year. We have not had a lot of breaks or a lot of luck up to this point. If we can just be more effective in attacking, we won’t even have to go into overtime.” Though the team has suffered its share of setbacks, Church was quick to point out that it is not all about luck. Even though the last three losses—all by one point apiece to No. 11 Clemson, No. 14 Florida State, and most recently to No. 13 Virginia—could have gone either way in the final moments, the team still had room for improvement in the extra session. “Maybe we get a little too conservative,” he noted. “It seemed like in all three of those games, at the end ofregulation, we were on the attack. Then when we take the five-minute break—like in the Virginia game—we come out not as aggressive. We have to have the mindset of going out and scoring the golden goal. “You make your own luck, though. The last goal on Sunday was not luck, we just didn’t clear the ball. A quality side like Virginia will score that.” One of the positives from the Virginia game, however, was Duke’s lone goal, scored by Kasey Truman. Truman, in just her third

game back from a knee injury which has sidelined her all season, got the ball in a scramble in front of the Virginia goal and punched it in for her first points ofthe season. “It was obviously a great feeling, and it was a great goal to score too,” Truman said. “Scoring on set plays was one of my strengths, so it felt like part of me was actually back physically.” The loss dropped Duke to 5-8 on the season and an even more disappointing 0-5 in the ACC, far below the lofty expectations for such a solid team on paper coming into the season. But, with two games left in ACC play and a winnable match versus Vanderbilt to wrap up the season, an NCAA berth is still not out of the question. “This year, we have just been really unlucky,” junior Alison Sanders said. “It’s not about the character of our team. We’ve been unlucky, but we can’t be this unlucky for the rest of the season. When we meet these teams again in the ACC tournament, there is no way they are gong to beat us twice. They’re not that lucky.” NCSU is coming off a match Sunday in which it lost on the road 3-1 to Clemson. The loss snapped the Wolfpack’s 5-game winning streak and dropped them to 7-6 overall and 04 in ACC play. Last year, Duke utterly dominated the

Wolfpack for 75 minutes before collapsing in the last 15 minutes. N.C. State scored all three of its goals in that final time span to steal a 3-1 victory from the hosting Blue Devils. Duke outshot the Wolfpack 22-6 for the game and an amazing 13-0 in the first half, but just could not put the game away. “N.C. State is a tricky team because you always underestimate them, and then they come out and [win],” Sanders said. “But I feel bad for them this year because we’re going to come out and control them.”

Jerry Colangelo, who heads the investors group that owns the team, made a decision after the 1998 expansion year that the team had to win now or face a disastrous drop in attendance. Colangelo is by nature somebody who cannot stand to lose, yet he had fallen short of the big prize since he came to Arizona 32 years ago as general manager of the NBAs expansion Phoenix Suns. “We didn’t go out and lose and suffer and do all those things you’re supposed to do before you enjoy victory,” manager Bob Brenly said. “Jerry refused to follow that pattern. He said, ‘Why do we have to wait?’ That’s why he is the man he is, and that’s why the players love to play for him.” Brenly spent three years as the Diamondbacks’ television analyst before becoming manager last December. He watched as Colangelo signed Randy Johnson to a five-year, $62 million deal, and Steve Finley to a five-year, $25.5 million contract, among many other moves before the 1999 season. There was more than a little resentment toward the franchise from the staid baseball establishment. “You just don’t see owners do things like that,” Brenly said. “I think in a lot of respects that’s why people perceive the Diamondbacks the way they do. We didn’t pay our dues. We didn’t follow the script you’re supposed to follow.” Before Arizona had played one game, Jay Bell became the first major league free agent to sign with the team, a five-year, $34 million contract that some found excessive. Matt Williams wanted to come to Phoenix to be with his children, who lived

there with his former wife. Arizona made a trade with Cleveland for Williams, then signed him to a fiveyear, $45 contract extension. Although the team was awful, the Diamondbacks played to a full house virtually every night in their first season. Still, Colangelo saw that season ticket sales were going to take a dive in the second year, w T hen the novelty

wore off. So he launched a $97.4 million freeagent splurge that included the signing of Johnson, Finley, Todd Stottlemyre, Greg Swindell, Greg Colbrunn and

Armando Reynoso. “When you can improve your staff like I thought we would be able to with the addition of Randy Johnson and the others, that gives you a chance to compete right now,” Colangelo said at the time. “There isn’t any reason to wait four or five years.” The tactic worked on the field, where the Diamondbacks won the NL West title in just their second year. But the attendance did not rise as expected. Colangelo said the franchise needed to average 40,000 to break even. It did not even come close.

Season ticket sales kept dropping, and Colangelo went back to owners for more cash. With no national television revenue for the first five years, the Diamondbacks lost a reported $4B million in their first three seasons. The situation made Colangelo want to win now more than ever. In the middle of the 2000 season, Arizona acquired Curt Schilling from Philadelphia for first baseman Travis Lee and pitchers Omar Dahl, Nelson Figueroa and Vicente Padilla. Suddenly, the Diamondbacks had

one of the most fearsome lefty-righty pitching punches baseball has known.

But Schilling faltered down the stretch, still not fully recovered from shoulder surgery. The team faded to third in the NL West, and Colangelo fired manager Buck Showalter, who had guided the building of the team since long before the first game was played.

WE GET IT. THEY DCNMT.

MIKE FIALA/AFP PHOTOS

JERRY COLANGELO schmoozes with his two pitching aces, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling. Enter Brenly, the affable broadcaster who played and coached for the San Francisco Giants. Brenly’s demeanor, combined with his toughness and riverboat gambler instincts in the dugout, fit perfectly with the veteran-

dominated roster. The finishing touches included signing Mark Grace a two-year, $6 million contract, adding some much needed levity along with defense and steady hitting. Reggie Sanders signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal and resurrected his career. Schilling inked a three-year, $32 million contract extension. With the books still bleeding red ink, Colangelo cut the operations budget by $lO million late last year, then asked and got permission from 10 of the team’s top players to defer large portions oftheir salary. The Diamondbacks did not just buy an NL title, though. Catcher Damian Miller was a second-round pick in the expansion draft. NLCS most valuable player Craig

Counsell was signed to a minor league contract after he was cut by the Dodgers in spring training last year. Tony Womack was acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh. A scout in Asia spotted 20-year-old sidearm reliever Byung-Hyun Kim. Erubiel Durazo was discovered in the Mexican League. Then there was Luis Gonzalez, who came from Detroit, Mich, in 1999 for Karim Garcia and $500,000—one of the most one-sided trades in recent baseball history. “It is the perception that our approach was to put blank checks out there on the counter and let the players come by and pick them up,” general manager Joe Garagiola said. “Do we have some expensive marquee free agents? Of course we do. But we also have players who a lot of people had a chance to acquire, but for whatever reasons didn’t. “I think this team has been put together using just about every avenue.”

Only two years ago, he sold Duke’s “home” game against Florida State to Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville for roughly $1 million. Oh, sure, there were the people who disagreed with him. College football purists made the argument that a home game should be played, well, at home. But hey, it’s a million bucks. Alieva knew that Duke fans weren’t going to come to the game.

This way, instead of milking a few hundred more out of those of us who are already spending $34,000 a year, we can keep the cost of parking permits below stratospheric levels by pumping the additional football revenue into the new garage.

Thompson boasts deadly combo of power and finesse � THOMPSON from page 13 Thompson said. “Coach K and the staff really stood out. They told the truth about my playing time—that I will have the opportunity to play right away—which I liked.” While many analysts question whether Thompson and fellow Class of 2006 big men Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams can all co-exist, many making references back to what happened with Elton Brand and

Chris Burgess, Thompson feels good about the situation. “Shavlik and Shelden are good players,” Thompson said. “I have played with them and against them a lot. I am glad I get to play with them inside instead of against them. We all play well together, and we will be able to push each other in practice.” Unlike many of the other Class of 2006 standouts, Thompson was not a blue-chip recruit from the start. Even though he had a good sophomore year, Long said recruiters thought Thompson played soft and that

Krzyzewski “wasn’t overly impressed.” That has all changed now. A more aggressive and physical Thompson had a great junior campaign and an even better summer, where he dominated in the paint against the best rising seniors in the country. His performance now has scouts re-evaluating the big man’s talent. Thompson is a great shot blocker with multiple post moves, but more importantly he plays with a lot of heart. And according to Long, “[plays] like he has something to prove every time he steps on the floor.” When asked what changed in Thompson’s game over his junior year and the summer that made recruiters change their opinions and rank him as one of the top 20 seniors in the country, Long replied with one word—mentality. “He’s had the tools and we feel like he’s had the knowledge,” Long said.“It is just learning how to play the game and how it is to play the game at this high level.” Now a senior, Thompson must go through one more season of being double- and tripled-teamed before he dons a Blue Devil jersey. But once he steps foot in Cameron, Long knows that Thompson will make a big impact. “I think he’ll be ready to play right away when he

Certificate Program at Duke University

New Elective Courses Spring 2002 MMSIBO, Entrepreneurial Opportunities and Finance TuTh 5:25-6:40 p.m. Instructor: Evan Jones, Visiting Associate Professor, Markets & Management Studies Students learn to evaluate entrepreneurial opportunities through the analysis of markets, management teams, business financial models, and company valuation. In addition students are introduced to the local entrepreneurial community through analysis of actual early stage business plans. The goal is to evaluate a number of opportunities and determine the pros and cons of proceeding with each opportunity (i.e. competitive landscape, future growth, expected technology changes, leverage of projected financial model). This course uses a combination of lectures, case study analyses, student/team presentations, and guest speakers. Check pre-requisites for this course at http://www.markets.duke.edu/courses/finance/mmslBodescriDtion.html

History 158A, American Business History MWF 1:10-2:00 p.m. Instructor: Edward Balleisen, Professor This course provides an analysis of the historical development of business in the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Provides a broad overview of such crucial processes as the emergence of an integrated, national marketplace and the growth and development of the modern corporation. Also, students will extensively examine a series of more focused themes: 1) marketing and the shifting channels of commerce; 2) labor management; 3) causes and consequences of business failure; and 4) business ethics and the boundaries of legitimate commercial activity. History 1965, Entrepreneurs in American History Th 7:00-9:30 p.m. instructor: Edward Balleisen, Professor Perhaps more than any other modern nation, the United States has been profoundly shaped by entrepreneurs â€”businesspersons who have sought to reshape the prevailing economic order, either by developing new products and services, reconstructing production processes, or remaking channels of distribution. This writing-intensive seminar examines a series of pivotal American entrepreneurs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Sociology 1955, Immigration & Entrepreneurship TuTh 10:55-12:10 p.m. Instructor: Monica Biradavolu, Instructor The focus of this course is to examine the historical origins as well as the current trends of entrepreneurship among various immigrant groups in the United States. The emphasis will be to look at sociological theories that analyze the cultural roots of entrepreneurial practices of ethnic groups as they attempt to assimilate into their host societies. The framework will be comparative and global, as we will use examples from a diverse range of industries and country of origin of migrating groups. Class sessions take the form of discussions, with the use of films and guest speaker presentations.

The Chronicle Embezzling the truth The circumstances surrounding the Hideaway embezzlement raise serious questions about the concealment of important information from the entire Duke community Last spring’s embezzlement at the Hideaway is an appalling part of an entire case that reeks of deception and misinformation on the part ofnearly every party involved, from the student who committed the violation to the Duke University Police Department. First, there is no question that the student, Brian Litt, Trinity ’Ol, deserves blame. At least one bartender and one student owner have admitted that had Litt not taken up to $20,000 illegally—something he should have realized he could not get away with—the bar would not have remained open this year. Litt did a disservice not only to his co-owners but to the entire Duke community. Unfortunately, criminal charges were never brought in the case, and he never suffered legal penalties. Obviously, Litt made a serious error in judgment. What is more subtle, and perhaps more insidious, is that this information was curiously kept quiet. DUPD claims that it made a mistake by not sharing the crime report with The Chronicle—the main way students find out about campus crimes. At best, the department seriously mismanaged information, and at worst, it tried to keep quiet a scandal about which the entire student population deserved to know. Suspiciously, neither Hideaway owners nor the University’s administration felt compelled to mention the crime when discussing the closure of the bar. Even if administrators claim the bar would have shut down despite the crime, they cannot legitimately argue that Litt’s actions had absolutely nothing to do with the situation; after all, one Hideaway owner said the incident factored into the decision to not seek additional owners for this year. At an institution that places such high value on honesty, this situation is extremely disappointing. In addition, it is now even clearer that the University had absolutely no interest in keeping the Hideaway—one of the most popular night spots on campus—open. With knowledge ofthe embezzlement, it could have taken measures to temporarily sustain the business —if not for the owners’ sakes, for the entire Duke community. Measures such as the offering of a low- or no-interest loan may have been feasible. What is slightly promising about the entire situation is the University’s decision to take judicial action against Litt, Unfortunately, the punishment—suspension of diploma until the money is paid back —was not harsh enough. The penalty essentially condones the action as long as Litt makes up for it, demanding no punitive damages of someone responsible for the early closure of an institution. With any luck, those involved in the incident have learned their lesson. Concealing information is a risky and dishonorable practice, and never has a place at an institution ofhigher learning.

China must welcome Taiwan’s delegate to meeting While President George W. Bush attends the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in hopes of bringing justice to the terrorists, another injustice unfolds in front of our eyes. China, host of the 2001 APEC meetings, refused to extend an invitation to Taiwan’s chosen lead delegate, Li Yuan-Zu, forcing Taiwan to pull its delegation. China insisted that Li, who served as Taiwan’s vice president from 1990-1996, is “too political” to attend this meeting. What kind of travesty is that?

Bowling over cultural differences The University needs an informal place for its diverse students to gather and interact If America is the world’s cultural melting pot, bowling alleys are her cauldrons. Baseball may be America’s pastime and most beloved enterprise, yet bowling epitomizes her athleticism. Few achievements are as patriotic or grandiose as picking up a strike on the last frame to achieve perfection. Every evening, alleys jtffl|n| across the United States fill with blue jfl and white collars alike. These men and women reflect every ethnicity and , creed imaginable, united with the common goal of strikes, spares and no Kevin gutter-balls. Differences and petty Qporzalek arguments are checked at the door and exchanged for pungent shoes. Americans are at peace with one another upon the lanes of fortune, seeking the most elusive number of them all—not a million or a billion, but simply 300.

The only facilities on campus where students meet outside a dormitory or classroom setting in a diverse fashion are Cameron Indoor Stadium and campus eateries, and the activities at these places are too purposeful to allow students to form cultural understanding. Weekend parties—the other social campus activities—are too segregated and drunken to provide the blending the University seeks. None of these gatherings provides a community with the consistency that a bowling alley can lend to year round activity. Duke lacks an essential place to constantly realize its diversity’s full potential. Campus multicultural activities remain too sporadic and may sadly turn a portion of the population away simply While Thomas More probably would not have because they include cultural included bowling in his vision, like many sports it references in their titles. But brings a culturally diverse array of people together in who, regardless of ethnic backharmony—if not for more than a few hours. Bowling ground or creed, would deny alleys across America accomplish in one evening what the challenge of going for the 7-10 split? Who would multicultural centers would be lucky to accomplish shy away from an eve at the alley for relaxation and over the course of a year. refreshment away from the grind of academia?

Bryan Center bowl-a-rama would validate it as a true union, lending the massive structure to constant activity. Maybe a bowling alley is not the answer to Duke’s dilemmas. Quite possibly everything previously mentioned about bowling alleys has as much merit as a cigarette executive’s denying the harmful effects of his company’s product. Cultural understanding and acceptance might simply be another liberal pie in the sky dream that will not be

achieved because of deep wounds that heal as the continents drift. A multicultural center on its own is merely a tangible, necessary window dressing for the University to reveal its progressiveness. There must, however, be a vibrant scene to gawk at through those glass panes. There must be a consistently present activity that brings

together people of all abilities, races and beliefs. Regardless of whether or not the Gothic Wonderland adds a bowling alley to its halls and corridors, there must be a concerted effort to find a means to produce a situation allowing students to relax in the comfort of each other. Structured programs in place fully succeed in garnering the magnitude of cultural acceptance necessary for a universally tolerant community. The solution to intolerance lies in dissolving fear, ignorance and unfamiliarity. No matter how grand a series of programs and meetings a cultural center holds, it will not reach those already resistant to diversity. The slightest common activity, if exploited correctly, will provide the necessary vessel to steer Duke’s community to happier shores. Kevin Ogorzalek is a Trinity sophomore.

Despite recent terrorism, trick-or-treating must continue The resilience of the American spirit is about to be tested again when the terrorist scare goes up against spooky Halloween. Some educators, politicians and parents are suggesting that the traditional evening of pranks and treats be canceled for fear of tainted candy or explosives in crowded malls. Indeed, some malls have banned trick-or-treating and some organizations are canceling their traditional Halloween parties. In some places, school children are not being allowed to make the customary field trips to pick out pumpkins.

Marianne Means Commentary But for parents to deny little children that very special celebration altogether would be to acknowledge that the terrorists have accomplished their goal of

crippling our way oflife. Limited Halloween festivities should be perfectly safe, if the kiddies are escorted by their parents, stay in their

own neighborhood, avoid strangers, accept only wrapped candy and party with their friends. Those are good rules to observe at any time. Children look forward to Halloween with almost as much excitement as they do Christmas. The chance to show off in costumes, fill a bag full offree candy and pretend to be frightened by imaginary ghouls is very important to kids. It would be tragic to teach them that the trauma of a terrible event means they cannot have fun anymore. There’s no question that some adults are on edge—and some children, too.

This is not a normal time, but to keep our sanity we must behave normally—with an extra dollop of caution. If we lose our pleasure in innocent amusement and prevent our children from enjoying themselves, we lose the essence of our civilization. The anthrax sent to prominent targets through the mail has alarmed everyone and made us all suspicious of even routine envelopes. But children out for trick or treat do not get, nor want, envelopes; they aren’t interested in eating paper. Aiiy alert parent would snatch a suspicious envelope away in any case. And as children go from door to door they are outside, in the fresh air. Anthrax spores thrive in closed spaces. We are all so jumpy that the FBI was summoned when a man bought a large quantity of candy from a discount warehouse in New Jersey. News of the episode was spread on the Internet, fueling panic. It turned out the guy was a wholesaler who bought the candy to resell to retail outlets—“a legitimate purchase for legitimate reasons,” the cops said. For a holiday that is wildly popular with children, Halloween has always had a rough time of it. Adults with no sense of humor like to pick on the idea of having fun with ghosts, witches and goblins. Those with an overactive religious bent complain that it sends a sinful message because its origins were godless rituals 2,000 years ago. People mourning a deceased loved one are appalled at the cheerfulness with which skeletons, grave markers and fake blood and gore are displayed.

Some schools have written parents

the kinder, gentler Han Solo and Yoda. Judging by the brisk sales of costumes and spooky decorative items reported by retailers, the grinches are being overruled. Halloween is simply too much harmless fun for all ages. We deserve a brief distraction. Besides, the economy needs it. Halloween generates more retail sales than any holiday except Christmas, usually about $4 billion each year. And, as The St. Louis Post-Dispatch outfits depict Uncle Sam, firefighters, usefully points out, Halloween has the police officers, soldiers, the Statue of great advantage of being the only famiLiberty and Miss America.

A USA Today survey last October indicated that 23 percent of kids wanted to dress as monsters, witches and pumpkins. The majority opted for popular movie or game figures, such as Pokemon, Disney characters or Harry Potter. Reports from costume outlets indicate that this year the most popular

This sweeping survey of global emotional history begins with Europe, turns to the United States, and examines as well emotions of nonwestern traditions, including Islam, Hinduism, and Japan. From Lancelot to F. Scott Fitzgerald, from the “Veiled Sentiments” of Bedouin society to the Cool of contemporary America, how have emotions changed over time and place, and why? What are the links between concepts of feeling and politics, gender, and social life?

Using a treasure chest of maritime sources, students explore how different kinds of historical writing employ such sources, build an argument, and tell a story. The seminar will pick one particular voyage to focus on for a class project, and will collectively research and narrate its story. Janet Ewald teaches African and Trans-Atlantic history.

From the Greeks to the early modem period, great changes occurred in western European conceptions of love, sex, gender, and marriage. In this revealing course, charismatic lecturer Ronald Witt uses literature, art, and nonwestern comparisons to trace changing attitudes toward human and divine love, marriage and chastity, heterosexuality and homosexuality. Be surprised and enthralled, captivated and ennobled by this journey through the changing meanings and practices of love.

Some of the great thinkers in European history forged landmark ideas during the seventy-five years from the Enlightenment and French Revolution to the political upheavals of 1848 in France and Germany.
