support to the effort. Senior Christina Hsu, Asian Students Association president, said she hopes that possible DSG approval will demonstrate continued stu-

dent support. “Students really are inter-

ested, but it’s hard to keep that awareness up when there are no courses and no faculty members,” said Hsu, a member of the task force overseeing the initiative. “This is a way to sustain student interest and support and a recognition that there is an... imperative for Asian American studies at Duke.” She added that the current

absence of Asian Americanist scholars at Duke would make it difficult to create a strong

Possible security camera use sparks campus debate By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

Students are expressing mixed reactions to a resolution Campus Council is currently drafting that calls for security cameras outside dormitory entrances. The cameras would provide footage of people entering and exiting in case it is needed for a criminal investigation. Campus Council tabled its recommendation to residential services at its meeting Thursday to compile more student input. The group will consider the proposal again Thursday. Contrary to the views of many Campus Council leaders, most students said possible infringements upon their privacy rights did not overshadow the security benefits that could result. Freshman Lizzy De La Garza, who lives in Randolph—a dorm that already has cameras outside the entrances —said she believes the cameras do not invade her sense of privacy since they are not placed inside the dorm. “You’re just entering the building. You’re not completely inside,” De La

Garza said. “Once you’re in your hallway or room, you can do whatever you want.” Alex Steingart, another freshman, v agreed. “If [the cameras] are outside the dorm, it’s not like they’re spying on someone naked in the bathroom,” he said. The fact that administrators said the tapes would not be under constant surveillance makes cameras more acceptable, according to some students. “It’s probably a good idea, especially since they’re not reviewing it all the time,” said sophomore Jason Jones. “There’s a small scope of what it’s

looking at.”

Other students argued the possible invasion of privacy is sufficient grounds not to implement the cameras. “It would take an awful lot for me to agree with putting in cameras and invasions by an outside source,” said Alex Wenger, a senior. “I don’t see that more technology is necessarily the answer here.” Leila Fusfeld, another senior, agreed See CAMPUS SAFETY on page 8

WASHINGTON The Senate voted Tuesday to reorganize scattered elements of the federal government around the intensely focused goal of combating terrorism, approving the creation of a huge Department of Homeland Security in Washington’s biggest transformation in 50 years. Ending months of rancorous debate on the new department, the Senate approved the bill on a 90-9 vote that disguised the deep misgivings many Democrats still harbor about President George W Bush’s design for the agency. Only after urgent phone calls from the president and lastminute promises by Republican lead-

The House approved the same bill last week, and after a few technical differences between the bills are resolved by House leaders Friday, the bill is expected to be on the president’s desk for signature before month’s end. Even so, it will likely be years before the new department has fully assumed all its functions. “We’re making great progress in the war on terror,” Bush told Senate Republicans in a conference call Tuesday afternoon. “Part of that progress will be the ability for us to protect the American people at home. This is a

very important piece of legislation. It is landmark in its scope.” Not since the Truman administration upended the nation’s defense apparatus to fight the Cold War in 1947 has the government been reshaped so dramatically around a single purpose. Once the department goes into existence 60 days from Bush’s signature, it will slowly begin to absorb 22 of Washington’s signature functions, including immigration, border protection, emergency management, intelligence analysis and the protection of the president himself.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic President George W. Bush urged NATO allies to “come with us” and help disarm Saddam Hussein, even as summit diplomats said Tuesday the alliance will not take up arms collectively against Iraq. Bush, arriving first among 19 NATO leaders for a twoday gathering shadowed by intense security, said alliance nations can find ways individually to support his campaign against Saddam. “Everybody can contribute something,” he told Czech TV as the White House sought to lower expectations for a major NATO statement on Iraq. “It all has got to be done within the strategy of the true threats we face in the 21st century, which is global terrorism. That’s the biggest threat to freedom right now,” he said.

NATO intends Thursday to create a 21,000-strong rapid response force that could mobilize in seven to 30 days to confront threats from terrorists, renegade governments or regional crises. In a historic reach toward Russia, the alliance also plans to invite seven former communist states into

NATO—Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Slovenia,

Slovakia and Bulgaria.

The threat ofterrorism loomed over the summit as the Czech government mobilized 12,000 police officers, 2,200 heavily armed soldiers and special anti-terrorist units to protect the presidents and prime ministers.

Iraq forum

examines resolution By JENNIHAINSFURTHER The Chronicle

A group of experts clashed Tuesday night at a panel discussion over the best way to resolve the bellicose tension between the United States and Iraq. The panel, comprised of Associate

Professor of Political Science Peter

Feaver, Associate Research Professor of Religion Ebrahim Moosa and Chuck Eager, director of the Quaker House in

Fayetteville, N.C., debated “Ways to Resolve Conflict” Tuesday night before an audience of 40 to 50 students, faculty and staff. Moosa began the event, outlining three major points pertaining to conflict resolution. “The goals and ends of conflict resolution must be to achieve some form of justice,” Moosa said. “There must be equity in the theater of justice,” he said, adding that justice cannot be applied selectively. Moosa’s third point was that those who facilitate conflict resolution can never own the process. “The credibility of brokers is vital,” he said. See IRAQ on page 9

CORRECTION In a page one story in the Nov. 18 edition, The Chronicle incorrectly stated that a U.S. appeals court rejected Duke’s appeal of the $1 compensatory award to Heather Sue Mercer. Duke did not appeal the award, but did argue that if the court ruled against punitive damages, Mercer’s legal fees should also be vacated because they would bear no relation to the compensatory damages. The court did rule against punitive damages and so did vacate Mercer’s legal fees, but judges remanded the compensatory question to the lower court.

GPSC sounds off on health care issues By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle

Members of the Graduate and Pro-

fessional Student Council voiced their concerns about student health insurance at their meeting Tuesday. Dr. Devdutta Sangvai, a consulting associate at the Medical Center, presented information from the health insurance plan regarding claims that students have submitted over the past two years. Sangvai, who is also a second-year student at the Fuqua School of Business, said that between 4,500 and 5,000 individuals are covered by the health plan, adding that the data were relevant since 75 percent of those covered are graduate and professional students. One of the charts compared services requested under the student health plan to national averages. “One that sticks out is mental disorders, which is about 400 times the norm,” Sangvai said. “For those students who come to us saying they are depressed or stressed and can’t handle their classes, we sent them to [Counseling and Psychological

Services].” Both Sangvai and Director of Student Health Dr. Bill Christmas praised CAPS, saying that it reduced the cost of mental health visits for students. However, they had other concerns about the popularity of CAPS and similar programs nationwide. “There is a two-week waitlist and a limit—about 10 to 12—on the number of visits,” Christmas said. “With student health we increase that number to 40 or 50. What this has done is take the pressure offCAPS.” Another point of contention was denied claims, including airlifting ill or injured students doing field work in for-

eign countries back to Durham. “It seems a littleridiculous that there

are several students out there who need to get supplemental coverage [for these

situations],” said Jandy Hanna, GPSC

secretary and a graduate student in biological anthropology and anatomy. Several more students were concerned that they did not know what was covered by the student health plan. “If students go to student health to get shots, that might be a good time to tell them,” said Elayne Heisler, a fourthyear sociology graduate student. Heisler, who also serves as GPSC’s ombudsperson, added that this would complement the updated first-year orientation manuals, which detail some parts of the plan. Ben Cooke, a graduate student in

mathematics, voiced a need for more days when students could go to a central location for preventative care, such as flu shots and cholesterol screenings. “I find the days when you can go get those shots very helpful,” he said. GPSC Vice President Audrey Beck agreed, saying the problem was with

current communication methods. “Maybe there is one flyer in the department,” said Beck, a third-year sociology student. “Maybe you see it, maybe not. I think a lot more people would go to those things if they knew about them.”

The scientists predict that • injecting or inducing the production of such stem cells in patients may forestall or even prevent the disease, one of the leading causes of death in the United States.

APS revises research ethics guidelines

In response to recent scandals at two high-profile, physics laboratories, the council of the American Physical Society—which represents the United States’ 40,000 physicists —has issued a set of expanded ethical guidelines for research. To mini-, mize scientific misconduct, the report calls for more ethics training and urges institutions to enact stricter guidelines of research review. The APS action follows instances of scientific fraud at Bell Labs and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, both uncovered within the last five months.

Exercise alone may help cholesterol levels By LIANA WYLER The Chronicle

People with high cholesterol have long assumed that in order to bring their levels within normal range, they need to shed a few pounds. But a recent study by Medical Center researchers suggests exercise alone—independent of weight loss—may have beneficial effects for those struggling with cholesterol problems. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people who exercise regularly show improvement in the number and size of their high-density lipoproteins, or “good cholesterol.” Members of the control group, who remained sedentary, experienced a decrease in the size and quantity of HDL and a corresponding increase in low-density lipoproteins, or “bad cholesterol.” The middle-aged, overweight subjects were separated into four groups and monitored for eight months. The three exercising groups, varying in intensity and amount, walked 12 miles per week, jogged 12 miles per week or jogged 20 miles per week. Members of a control group were allowed to do whatever they were doing before they entered the study. Additionally, those on the exercise regimen were urged to maintain their original body weight. Cholesterol levels as a whole did not change for any ofthe exercising groups. Researchers, however, determined that the groups showed improvements in their lipoprotein profiles, meaning an increase in HDL and a decrease in LDL. Furthermore, the most pronounced benefits were discovered in the group that jogged for 20 miles per week. “We have always known that exercise is beneficial to overall health and wellness, and essential for lowering cholesterol in specific,” Jean Hanson, assistant director of student health, wrote in an e-mail. “Our health promotion efforts will continue to promote a balanced diet and appropriate exer-

cise—but this new study gives us more reasons for saying so.” The control group did not show any signs of beneficial cholesterol or lipoprotein changes. Additionally, they gained an average of two pounds within an eight-month period.

“They gained a lot of weight in a very

short period of time,” said Cris Slentz, lead author of the study and research scientist in the department ofmedicine. The results imply that the type of lipoproteins rather than total cholesterol levels are better indicators of health improvements and risks. “When you go to the doctor [to get your cholesterol checked], what is important to know is that the cholesterol level is misleading,” Slentz said. “The public needs to know about it and its not-so-usefulness.”

Slentz also said that when exercising, it is not only the intensity, but also the length of exercise that contributes to the best improvements in health. Above all, he stressed the importance of not being sedentary. “Inactivity is dangerous,” Slentz I said. “You need to exercise six to eight | miles [per week] to keep things they way they are, 10 to 12 miles will let you hang in there with some long-term im- j provement, and more than that if you i

UNIVERSITY BRIEFS From staff reports

Pratt given $2 million in grants The Whitaker Foundation has awarded two grants totaling nearly $2 million to the Pratt School of Engineering to accelerate research and teaching programs in genomic technology and biomolecular modeling, and in biophotonics—the merger of optical technologies

with medicine. Both “Special Opportunity Awards” went to the school’s department of biomedical engineering. Together, they will fund four new faculty members, support new Ph.D. fellowships, outfit two new laboratories and help develop new undergraduate and graduate courses in biophotonics and genomic technology. The award in biophotonics, for $999,111 over three years, is designed to make the school a leader in the field of biophotonics, officials said. The program, which will work closely with the school’s new Fitzpatrick Center for Photonics and Communications Systems, is directed by Joseph Izatt, an associate professor of biomedical engineering, who joined the University last year. The program also will build and equip a state-ofthe-art biophotonics teaching laboratory to be housed in the Fitzpatrick Center. The award in genomic technology and biomolecular modeling totals $979,849 and its use will be directed by William Reichert, professor of biomedical engineering and chemistry, and George Truskey, professor of biomedical engineering. In collaboration with Duke’s Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, they will develop a graduate education program in genomic technology and biomolecular modeling, highlighted by the establishment of an educational laboratory for genomic technology.

Iraq vows to meet U.N. deadline By CHARLES HANLEY The Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq U.N. inspectors urged Iraqi officials Tuesday to review carefully their long-standing claims they have no more weapons of mass destruction, as Baghdad pledged to meet a Dec. 8 deadline to disclose all information about its arms programs. With the United States closely watching for any Iraqi infractions—and warning it has adopted a “zerotolerance” approach to Iraq—differences also emerged Tuesday between the United Nations and Washington over what constitutes Iraqi violations. Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix said that if the Iraqis stick with their claim they have no more weapons of mass destruction, they must provide convincing documentation by the promised deadline. “We don’t think that has yet been convincingly done.”

“We have tried to impress on them they must look into their stocks and stores and see if there’s something they should declare,” Blix said late Tuesday. “The production of mustard gas is not like the production of marmalade...You’re supposed to keep some track of what you produce. There must be documentation, records of what was produced.” Meeting the Dec. 8 deadline is a key initial demand laid down in the new U.N. resolution aimed at peacefully disarming Iraq. President George W. Bush has threatened military action if Iraq fails to cooperate with the resolution that sent inspectors back to Baghdad after a four-year absence. Asked by reporters ifIraq would meet the deadline, presidential adviser Amir al-Saadi responded in EngSee INSPECTIONS on page 10

Pentagon may alert reservists By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

National Guard and Reserve WASHINGTON members whose special skills would be needed in a war with Iraq might get advance notice of possible mobilization, even though President George W. Bush has not yet decided whether to use military force, a senior Pentagon official said Tuesday. Reservists would like some warning so they can make arrangements with employers and family members, even if the call to active duty never comes, said Thomas Hall, the assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs. But there are concerns about such a plan, he said. “If you elect to do that, then are you giving potential enemies and others advance information of what you’re going to do? Are you also unnecessarily alerting people that they might be mobilized, and then it turns out they aren’t called up?” Still, Hall said, “It’s something we are looking at.” Currently, 51,358 reservists are on active duty, most assigned to positions in the United States in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. That number peaked in late July above 85,000. If the United States goes to war in Iraq, Pentagon officials expect to need at least 100,000 more and possibly twice that. Although Hall said the Pentagon has no list of reserve units likely to be called up, war in Iraq would demand a wide variety of reserve specialists, including linguists, special operations forces, military police and other security forces, pilots and logisticians. Under the partial mobilization that President Bush authorized after the Sept. 11 attacks, as many as 1 million of the military’s 1.3 million reservists could be called to active duty for as long as two years. ...

Daschle said there was language in the bill that Congress would regret, and predicted that more legislation would be needed to correct the problems he said were built in. “I have no doubt that we will be back next year, addressing many of the shortcomings we will be incorporating in this

legislation tonight,” he said just before the vote. “This bill still needs work. This department needs work.” Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, whose Governmental Affairs committee first proposed the department more than a year ago, when the White House was dismissing the idea, said he was “thrilled” that a department largely of his architecture was finally approved.

essary disciplinary action. “When you look at holding someone accountable, compensation is one of those things that you can utilize when addressing

performance,” he said. In addition to the salary cut, Conner will have to undergo monthly performance evaluations by the City Council and must seek “further professional development to enhance [her] overall management skills.” Within the next 60 days, she must conduct a performance evaluation of city employees who report directly to her. The manager’s existing work plan includes an annual evaluation, which will be carried out as planned. “This will provide us with the necessary tools for corrective action in relation to what we found in reviewing the manager’s performance,” Stith said. But to council member John Best, corrective action did not represent the optimal solution. Best, the sole council member who voted against the agreement to retain Conner, said he would have favored replacing her with a new city manager. “Personally I feel we need change at the top of our administration,” he said. “I think we deserve a manager that can be straightforward and honest... someone with a little more experience at handling a city like Durham.” However, Best was quick to stress he stands behind the City Council’s decision and will support Conner as city manager. “The majority has spoken,” he said. “Let’s move on and get back to the day-to-day activities of making Durham an even better place to live.” Looking forward, Mayor Bill Bell, who also voted to punish Conner, said he thought businesses would have greater assurances from the city for future contracts and that the process would be revised so that contracts would now fall in line with the city’s

financial policies. “That’s a part of the audit review that was done,” Bell said. “I expect the recommendations to come back from the audit services as to how the process will be revised.” Kevin Lees contributed to this story.

Even now, being on the task force, just looking into possibilities for hiring faculty is difficult due to the budget crunch.” Lyndsay Beal, DSG vice president for academic affairs —whose committee will introduce the resolution —said she expects it to pass easily. “We don’t want to put in numbers because of the budget crunch now, we just want administrators to realize there is

Earlier, Elßaradei told Associated Press Television News and Egypt’s Nile television that Iraq promised to declare “all of its activities in the chemical, biological and nuclear fields, even those of civilian use.” Elßaradei, speaking in Arabic, said the Iraqis were cooperating so far and had pledged to continue doing so. “We hope that this oral commit-

PENTAGON from page 6 The number who have served on active duty since then is about 130,000, according to Lt. Col. Dan Stoneking, a Pentagon reserve affairs spokesperson. Hall said he would like to give reservists as much notice as possible so they can make necessary personal arrangements. He said they normally should have about 30 days to report for active duty, once given a mobilization order. But he did not rule out that there could be some nonotice call-ups if war comes. “If it has to be zero (warning time), and we call them up and say, ‘Report tomorrow,’ we will do that,” he said. “If I were a reservist, I certainly would want to know as long ahead as I could that I was perhaps going to be mobilized,” said Hall, a retired Navy rear admiral whose final military

post was as chief of the Naval Reserve. Hall would not discuss the Pentagon’s specific plans for a wartime call-up. “It’s just premature,” he said. Another senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Pentagon is reviewing its reserve mobilization needs for Iraq with an eye to minimizing the number who would be called up to “backfill,” or temporarily replace, activeduty troops deployed away from their home bases. Many reservists would be kept in the United States to provide security at military posts and possibly civilian sites. Over the longer term, the Pentagon is looking at the possibility of moving some military missions that are mainly or exclusively in the National Guard and Reserve into the activeduty force, and vice versa. Reservists who specialize in missions like civil affairs are increasingly in demand, facing calls to active duty more than once.

Women’s soccer looks to next year One last

shot at redemption

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

After a disappointing decision from the NCAA women’s soccer committee left the Blue Devils sitting at home until next summer, the team reflected this week on its 2002 season. Perhaps the most positive attribute that the Blue Devils can carry into next season is their youth. Carolyn Riggs, who was second on the team in points and goals, was named to the All-ACC freshman team as a | forward. Receiving the same accolade as Riggs was fellow freshman Kate Seibert, who helped senior Rebecca Smith lead Duke to six shutouts. Only North Carolina had more freshmen on the All-ACC team.

“I was really proud of all of our girls this year,” head coach Robbie Church said. “Especially our freshmen. They played at another level when we needed them to.” Carmen Bognanno, who suffered a knee injury and missed four games in the middle of the season, provided key minutes off the bench as a freshman She finished the season with two goals and two assists at the midfield position. The Blue Devils’ starting center midfielder, Casey McCluskey, continued her stellar play from the 2001 season. Aside from netting 10 goals to lead her team in the category, she orchestrated Duke’s offense, which outscored their opponents by 12 goals on the year. McCluskey, a sophomore, scored four )BBY BUS:

Michigan last obstacle on Buckeyes’ road to Tempe By DOUG HARRIS Cox News Service

Jim Tressel COLUMBUS, Ohio hasn’t tried to cure Ohio State fans of their preoccupation with Michigan. In fact, the Buckeyes coach is a little obsessed himself. When Tressel took the job in 2001, he knew exactly the number of days that remained until his team would take the field in Ann Arbor. And no matter when he’s asked for a count to the Michigan game, he’s never caught without an answer. “We all have idiosyncrasies,” he said. “Mine might be that.” But the attention Tressel gives the rivalry is evidence of his respect for the state’s passion toward the game. While his predecessor, John Cooper, tried to downplay the showdown in his latter years, Tressel chose from the beginning to embrace it. “When you’re coaching football at Ohio State, or you’re coaching football at Michigan—or you’re coaching at USC, and UCLA is the game—you know it’s pending. And you’re excited about it. And you look forward to it. “Why do people select to go to college at Ohio State or Michigan? It’s to play in this game, along with them being great institutions and great programs and ‘maybe I can go to the NFL’ and all those things. Still, inevitably, there’s something about the Ohio State-Michigan game.” OSU fans don’t need to be told Before the Buckeyes pulled out a 2620 upset in Tressel’s first season, they had won just twice in 13 years against the Wolverines, all under Cooper.

The Buckeyes could have earned Rose Bowl berths in 1990, ’93, ’95 and ’97 with a victory over Michigan but failed each time. Undefeated seasons in ’93, ’96 and ’97 were all trashed by the Wolverines, too. Cooper, who had tried everything, resorted to insisting the game carried no greater significance than the ones that preceded it. His players knew better. “Because we weren’t successful against Michigan in his overall career, there was a sense he was trying to downplay it when it was really a huge game,” fifth-year senior Donnie Nickey said. “Coach Tressel had a fresh view. Last year, he never said, ‘Hey, it’s just another game.’ He said, ’This is Michigan.’ For a head coach, this is your job. This is how you stay in Columbus. He played it up and put the ball more in our court and challenged us to step up.” Tressel learned as an assistant at OSU under Earle Bruce in the early 1980s that no team can join the exclusive club of elite ones at the school without a win over Michigan. While he seldom reveals much of himself, Tressel admitted he’ll be “scared to death” Saturday—like usual. “You’re always asking yourself, ‘Have you prepared right? Are we doing the right things? Do we have a game plan?’ That’s just human nature if you care about something,” he said. “My goal and passion is to make sure we prepared the best we can prepare, then relax and enjoy it.” The approach appears to be working. While pulling off six second-half

comebacks en route to a 12-0 record, the Buckeyes have put their fans through anguish. But they’ve been as nerveless as a surgeon. “Not taking anything away from coach Cooper and his staff,” senior linebacker Cie Grant said, “but it just seemed like guys used to play great all year long and then start to get uptight about this one. I think what coach Tressel has brought to

the table is he wanted us to be relaxed. “Even though we have a lot more at stake this season, he wants us to play relaxed and play the way we’re capable.” But a little performance anxiety may do them some good. “If, all of a sudden, relaxed is too relaxed,” Tressel said, “you’re going to get a bloody nose. I’m sure there’s a fine line.”

North Carolina’s starting quarterback broke a bone in his right thumb against Virginia Oct. 19 in what was described at the time as a season-ending injury. However, Durant surprised coach John Bunting by showing up at practice late last week in uniform and began throwing passes to team trainers with a splint on. “Some were on a spiral, some looked like a kickoff,” Bunting said. Now, Durant will be at practice this week—without the splint—preparing to play in the season-finale against Duke (2-9, 0-7 ACC). “He has been re-examined and there’s been some discussion that he could possibly play this week,” Bunting said Tuesday. “It remains to be seen where he is after Wednesday.” While Durant hasn’t taken a hit in more than a month, the sophomore has been involved in the dayto-day meetings with the quarterbacks and offensive coordinator Gary Tranquill—and his broken bone has healed. “That’s one of the reasons I had him wearing a headset for all these games, so he could stay involved mentally,” Bunting said. “What I like about it the most is he has a great desire to help this football team in this game,” Bunting added. “That’s extremely honorable and extremely desirable on my part to have a guy like that that would like to play.” Durant was leading the Atlantic Coast Conference in total offense when he was hurt. Since that time, North Carolina (2-9, 0-7) is 0-4 with C.J. Stephens as the starter. The Tar Heels have scored just 33 points. Bunting made a point to say he wasn’t down on Stephens, who has completed 51.3 percent of his passes with four TDs. “The glass here with C.J. is more than half full—that is for sure,” Bunting said. “He’s a tough kid and he’s been extremely competitive. “He has a chance to be real good. He has a chance to create more competition at that position. The one thing he lacked was experience. Now he’s got some. This young man is going to get better and better.” But it’s clear the Tar Heels are a much better team with Durant under center. “We want to win this football game so we want to go with the guy that gives us the best chance,” Bunting said. That still may not be Durant. Bunting will watch Durant throw on the side Tuesday and judge his form.

DARIAN DURANT throws a pass during last year’s Duke-UNC contest. The Tar Heels won, 52-17. The coach is also concerned about the center-quarterback snap exchange. For now, Stephens will run with the first unit in practice, Bunting said. “It was kind of a lift to see him out there at practice, but this is a team game,” Bunting said of Durant’s return last Thursday. “It’s a tribute to him. He’s been at practice every day, he’s been on the sideline every game and he’s been in meetings. He’s into what we’re doing. But we have a focus to get to and it’s more than a quarterback issue here.” When asked if he would play this weekend Durant said: “I doubt it. It may be too risky.” When told that Bunting had already told reporters that he was cleared by doctors to throw, Durant changed his tune. “We’ll have to see, maybe I’ll surprise some people.” Durant was 11-of-17 for 151 yards and one touchdown in a 52-17 win over Duke last season—North Carolina’s 12th straight victory in the series. Durant threw for 284 and 417 yards in North Carolina’s only two wins this season.

DAVIS from page 11 from inexperienced players to tough academic standards for recruiting to a lack of fan support. But if Duke’s on-field talent may not rival that of other ACC schools, Franks is largely to blame. Convincing players to come to Duke may be difficult, but any success that Franks has made in this area has been offset by his inability to keep his most talented athletes. Under Franks’s watch, wide receiver Richmond Flowers, tight end Ben Watson and linebacker Todd DeLamielleure have all transferred, while quarterback D. Bryant left school after being declared academically ineligible. Some defend Franks by insisting that Duke has simply been the victim of bad luck, dropping a number of close games that could have gone either way. During Franks’s tenure Duke has been involved in I' 4 games decided by a margin of 10 points or less, posting a record of 3-11. Some call it fate, but others more accurately describe this statistic as depicting Franks’ inability to pull out tough victories. This season, Duke blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead by giving up three touchdowns to Clemson in a span of just over four minutes. Clemson wins, 34-31. Last season, Duke spotted Wake Forest a 28-0 halftime lead, and then fell short in its comeback attempt, losing 42-35. Senior defensive end Charles Porter summed up everyone’s thoughts, wondering, “Why can’t we play two halves of football?” On the flip side, however, against Wake the Blue Devils did put together one half of solid football. This season, against Maryland, Duke didn’t even do that. After the Terps raced out to a 31-0 halftime lead, Duke came out for the second half looking to turn the tide. Instead, they allowed the Terps to score in less than two minutes. Maryland wins, 45-12. Following the game, quarterback Adam Smith stated the obvious. “Sometimes it just seems like not everybody has their mind and their heart 100 percent into it,” he said. Throughout the Franks regime, the players have time and again insisted that they go out onto the field and put forth their best effort in every single game, leading fans to believe that Franks was somehow holding the team together despite the tough times. Following the Maryland game, such assurances are now met with skepticism. Franks has one game left to show that he can still motivate his troops. The Blue Devils have lost 24 consecutive ACC games and have not beaten the Tar Heels since 1989. Both teams head into Saturday with 2-9 records. Both are winless in ACC play. The Blue Devils need to win this game, and if they don’t, their head coach needs to go. Evan Davis is a Trinity senior and senior associate sports editor. His column appears every Wednesday.

SMALL from page 11 team never lost more than three games in one season. Playing at Brother Hood Rice High School, the All-American linebacker surprised many when he decided to take his abilities outside of the Big Ten. Small had always felt at home in spending his Carolina, North Christmases and summers in the Tar Heel state with his many relatives. Both of his parents went to college in North Carolina, and his uncle was a standout running back at Guilford College. Small did not become a star immediately at Duke, redshirting his first year, and compiling only five tackles his redshirt freshman season. Through hard work, Small became a starter a year later, finishing fifth on the team in tackles. Progressing further in 2001, Small finished second on the team

in tackles and was one of the few bright spots on Duke’s 0-11 team. The rest of the team began to follow Small’s lead this season by showing .

steady improvement. Small has 56 tackles this season, and is a major reason why Duke currently has the top-ranked rush defense in the ACC. “Jamyon’s probably gotten the most out of his ability this year,” head coach

Carl Franks said. “He’s been a great

inspiration to some of our young guys. It’s been satisfying to watch how much

he cared and how much he put in, wanting to play as best he could.” Small has made considerable accomplishments off the field, as well. He will be graduating this December with a history major, a sociology minor, and a markets and management certificate. He had been planning on trying out for the NFL, but his knee injury put this dream on hold. The ironically named 6-foot-l, 225 pound

One of the other starting midfielders, Liz Wagner, contributed to the Blue Devil offense immensely. Starting all 20 games, she was a key presence on the

field and was voted onto the All-ACC second team. Duke will miss Wagner next year as both a leader and

the end of the season, but their early losses proved to

be fatal come tournament time. The Blue Devils opened the season with a killer stretch of three consecutive matches against ranked teams. Duke managed to beat Tennessee in overtime before losing to Texas 2-1 and Washington in double overtime. A week later at Florida’s own tournament Duke was able to squeak out a victory in overtime for a crucial win against a higher-ranked team. “I think we had a lot ofspecial moments this year,” Church said. “To open up a season with a win over Tennessee in overtime was a great highlight. We also went down to Florida and picked up a big win.” The rigorous ACC regular season put a dent in Duke’s record and sent them into a downward spiral with a four-game losing streak in the middle of the year. After a slow recovery, the Blue Devils needed a win in their last regular season match to stay alive for an NCAA berth. On the road at Wake Forest, Duke came back from a one-goal deficit to beat the Demon Deacons in overtime. McCluskey scored another golden goal to add to the Blue Devils late season heroics. “The golden goal against Wake Forest on senior night was also special,” Church said. “We needed a

win and the girls responded.” Despite the disappointing end of the season, Duke returns the core of it’s offense and several young defensive players. Most of the young Blue Devils already have experience and should look forward to the postseason next year.

linebacker will instead spend the spring in Durham rehabilitating his knee. After he is healthy, he will make a decision as to which career he will pursue. Small will be at the game Saturday cheering for his teammates, lending support that the other Blue Devils will readily appreciate. “He’s our lone senior,” defensive lineman Matt Zielinski said. “We want to do it for him. It hurts. That’s going to be motivation for us to make sure he goes out with a victory.” Small feels that he has won in the game of life regardless of Saturday’s outcome, but do not expect him to be reserved if the Blue Devils prevail. “I think we’re going to ring it as many times as we want,” Small said of the Victory Bell. “Just the joy and the satisfaction of winning will be enough. I don’t know what kind ofcelebration it’s JAM YON SMALL makes a tackle during Duke’s loss to Rice last season. going to be.”

excellent player. “We had some great players this year,” Church said. “Some ofthem will be back next season and some won’t. I feel bad for our seniors more than anything.” The Blue Devil’s superb play in net was a main reason they were able to make a late-season surge toward the NCAA tournament. After a stint with the Iceland national team, Helgadottir was only able to participate in 11 matches for Duke. Despite her limited time, she faced 114 shots on the year and only allowed 14 goals. Her best moment of the season came at North Carolina when she made nine saves, two of which were spectacular plays that almost gave the Blue Devils an opportunity to steal a win. Duke came away with a tie, which sent the Blue Devils on a threegame win streak before Clemson ended their hopes of an ACC championship. “We accomplished a lot this year,” Church said. “Anytime you can go to Chapel Hill and get a tie against Carolina it’s a big game Before the season started, Church knew his schedule was full of national powerhouses this season. He hoped the team would use those games as motivation to improve as a unit during the course of the season. Overall, Duke meshed as a team and improved by

The Chronicle Say no to cameras

Last

week, Campus Council discussed the possibility ofputting

cameras at the entrances to every dorm, but wisely decided to

delay its decision to allow for further discussion ofthe proposal

among the University community. When Campus Council next considers the issue of cameras, it should reject them since cameras would be ineffectual in creating a safer campus atmosphere. Rather, there are

several other concrete steps that the University with Campus Council’s support should undertake immediately that would lead to vastly improved safety. Video cameras wiH not deter crime, especially since they are extremely easy to defeat. If a crime is perpetrated by someone who lives in the dorm, then cameras wiH not help solve crimes. Or, if the criminal decides to look away from the camera, or wears a hooded sweatshirt, or enters in the dark, or hides his or her face, or wears sunglasses, the camera will not help solve crimes. But solving crimes is less important than deterring crime, and if the perpetrator does not know about the cameras’ existence, cameras wiH not help to deter crime. What cameras will do, however, is infringe upon students’ privacy and institute a University-wide monitoring system by which the administration can spy on students. Although the University has pledged not to monitor the cameras because of privacy concerns, students need to be aware that they are trading away their privacy if cameras are installed. Regardless, having cameras is unnecessary if the University installs DukeCard access to bathrooms, which actually will help prevent crime. By limiting and monitoring who accesses bathrooms, the University can prevent assaulters from hiding out in bathroom stalls and can have an effective crime-solving tool if such a crime does occur. Whether a potential sexual offender is a Duke student or an outsider, limiting bathroom access with DukeCards would effectively prevent either from committing crimes. Moreover, DukeCard access for bathrooms does not compromise student privacy as much as cameras would because it is within an existing framework ofcard-access and it does not provide visual pictures of everybody in the dorm. DukeCards are also far more convenient and safer than changing the bathroom locks. The major impediment to DukeCard access for bathrooms is cost, but the University should install them as soon as possible, even though in the future it will surely want to upgrade all ofits access system to biometrics or another new technology. Another simple safety measure would be to improve campus lighting, which Duke sorely lacks. This would be lighting not only around dorms, but also on walkways and around campus in general. Other easy safety measures include self-defense courses, which are already available at the Women’s Center for those who are interested. Safewalks, while a noble idea, seem like t hey are too inefficient to be worth instituting.

On the

record

Students really are interested, hut it’s hard to keep that awareness up when there are no courses and no faculty members. Senior Christina Hsu, Asian Students Association president, arguing in favor of an Asian American Studies program at Duke (see story, page one).

found ways to offset the remaining price difference by applying for grants and tax breaks. In short, purchasing new buses, modifying filling and retraining stations mechanics are no longer necessary to switch to a cleaner petrodiesel alternative. All that is needed is simply to fill-up with a different fuel. In light of the recent EPA report, is there any reason why Duke should not make ending its diesel addiction a top priority? While the University may decide to pursue alternatives other than biodiesel in the long run, are there any major reasons why it should not be running on 100 percent biodiesel in
