Armed robberies hit Edens, off East
by
On the three-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the Duke community commemorated the event with a humble ceremony that took place Saturday in the Memorial Grove—the six trees below Keohane Quadrangle that were planted in memory of the six Duke alumni who died in the attacks. President Richard Brodhead presided over the ceremony. In his short speech Brodhead recalled where he was at the time of the attacks and why the Duke community should always remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001. “We’re gathered here to express our memory and grief for the six friends of this school who died that day, and for everyone who had a loved one die that day,” Brodhead said. “We’re also here to express our abhorrence towards all such acts of violence, whether they were committed against this country or in any of the other countries of the w0r1d.... We’re here to express our belief that deeds of destruction are only overcome by deeds of construction.” Brodhead then read the names of the memorialized

Journals force drug companies to disclose results by
Margaux Kanis THE CHRONICLE
Eleven of the world’s top medical journals are making the reporting of all clinical trial results a condition of publication in an attempt to remedy concerns about the selective disclosure of experimental data by pharmaceutical companies. The members of the International Council of Medical Journal Editors announced Wednesday that they would

This proposition has received much federal support and members of Congress intend to introduce legislation in the near future that will prevent pharmaceutical companies from withholding unfavorable information about their products. “This decision will almost certain! change the behavior of the pharmaceutical companies,” said Gregory Curfman, executive editor of the New EngThe Lancet JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine are among 11 journals that willrequire studies to report ail clinical trial results.
Congress hopes to

The lawsuit contended that the results of com-
pleted studies were misrepresented and Paxil could potentially increase suicide rates in children and adolescents. Once clinical trial data from any study is on the public record, it will be harder for researchers to bury negative results. In the past, many physicians and patients did not know that follow-up trials were conducted on drugs that had already received approval by the Food and Drug Administration and that controversial results may have been discovered. “Every student starting school this fall knows they can’t pick and choose which tests will count and which won’t,” Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) wrote in an email. “Likewise, drug companies can’t be permitted to decide which trials to disclose and which to hide from the public. SEE

Insurgents hammer central Baghdad by
Robert Reid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq Insurgents hammered central Baghdad Sunday with one of their most intense mortar and rocket barrages ever in the heart of the capital, heralding a day of violence that killed nearly 60 people nationwide as security appeared to spiral out of control. At least 37 people were killed in Baghdad alone. Many of them died when a U.S. helicopter fired on a disabled U.S. Bradley fighting vehicle as Iraqis swarmed around it, cheering, throwing stones and waving the black and yellow sunburst banner of Iraq’s most-feared terror organization.
The dead from the helicopter strike included Arab television reporter Mazen alTumeizi, who screamed, “I’m dying! I’m dying!” as a cameraperson recorded the chaotic scene. An Iraqi cameraperson working for the Reuters news agency and an Iraqi freelance photographer for Getty Images were wounded. Maimed and lifeless bodies of young men and boys lay in the street as the stricken U.S. vehicle was engulfed in flames and thick black smoke. Across the country, the death toll Sunday was at least 59, according to figures from the Health Ministry, the Multinational Force command and local authorities.
Nearly 200 people were wounded, more than half of them in Baghdad. Strong detonations again shook the center of Baghdad after sunset Sunday. There were no reports of damage or casualties. As the early morning barrage was under way in Baghdad, insurgents attacked the infamous U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison on the city’s western edge. Several mortar shells exploded outside the complex about 6 a.m., and about 20 minutes later a pickup truck packed with artillery shells crashed through
the chain-link fence on the outer perimeter. Marines opened fire and the vehicle exploded before reaching the security wall, killing the driver, a military statement said.
Edwards: Bush linked Saddam, Sept. 11 by
Liz Sidoti
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards Sunday accused President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney of misleading Americans by implying a link between deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. ‘Today, Secretary ofState Powell made clear that there is no connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks on September the 11th,” Edwards said before an AFL-CIO rally. “From this day forward, this administration should never suggest that there is.” The North Carolina senator was referring to Powell’s comments on NBC's “Meet the Press” in which the Republican reiterated a statement made by Bush last September that the administration has no evidence that Saddam was involved in the attacks.
“We know that there had been connections and there had been exchanges between al Qaeda and the Saddam Hussein regime. And those have been pursued and looked at,” Powell said. “But I have seen nothing that makes a direct connection between Saddam Hussein and that awful regime and what happened on 9/11.” Steve Schmidt, a Bush-Cheney campaign spokesperson, said Powell’s comments are consistent with those made by Bush, Cheney and the bipartisan commission that investigated the attacks. Bush said last Sept. 17 that “there’s no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties.” But at the same time the president said, “We’ve had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th.” At the time, Bush also denied that there was an attempt by Cheney or others in the administration to try to confuse people about any link between Saddam and Sept. 11.

TTA nixes plans for 4 stations by
Diana Ni
THE CHRONICLE
The Triangle Transit Authority has cut back its sprawling plan for a regional railway system from the state Capitol in Raleigh to Ninth Street in Durham and is looking toward a more manageable future. After hitting patches oflocal and federal budget tur-
bulence, TTA announced last month that it had decided to put its projection for 2011 —three key commuter stops in Raleigh and one more at the Duke University Medical Center—on indefinite hold. The move shortens the long-term monorail project to only 12 stops, but TTA General Manager John Claflin said the loss of these stops remains a positive development. “We believe that revising the scope of the project is the best decision at this time to ensure that the Regional Rail Transit System moves forward,” Claflin told TTA’s board of trustees. “These revisions will allow us to strengthen our project and keep it competitive with the more than 184 other projects vying for federal
funding.” In scaling back, TTA was able to lower the total cost of the railway from the original $849 million to $631 million—a move TTA officials believe will improve op-

Grad students camp out for tickets by
Lauren
Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE
Rental trucks, RVs, tents and more than 1,400 graduate and professional students took over several of the Blue Zone parking lots this weekend in an attempt to earn something that millions of people buy every day: a lottery ticket. These tickets, however, are no ordinary lottery tickets—each represents the chance to win one of 700 season ticket cards for men’s basketball games. To distribute the tickets fairly, the Graduate and Professional Student Council held its annual 36-hour campout. The students who remained camped in the Blue Zone at the 36th hour were entered into a lottery, and if their names were drawn, they had the opportunity to purchase a season ticket card for $l5O. To maintain their lottery entries, graduate students had to be present for all of the random attendance checks the organizers called—a process that is similar, but not identical, to that of undergraduate tenting in Krzyzewskiville. ‘There’s no grace here,” said Jeff Kovacs, co-chair of the GPSC Men’s Basketball Ticket Committee and a fifth-year graduate student in molecular cancer biology. “If you miss a check, you’re done... no one else can represent you.” Co-chair Andy Baraniak, a fifth-year graduate stu-

portunities for the project to receive federal support. If all the figures are worked out before spring 2005, TTA can expect to open the railway on schedule in 2008. TTA is now awaiting a decision from Congress, which just recently returned from an August recess. The Federal Funding Grant Agreement will provide 50 percent of the railway’s costs, and the light rail has been placed in FY 2005—both of which are positive signs for TTA management, who hope to begin construction by next spring. If Congress passes a bill to fund the TTA project, construction of the light rail would begin immediately. But Brad Schulz, a communications officer for TTA, said Congress would be “reticent to sign” the necessary funding due to a transportation budget that may fluctuate after the November elections. Funding for the project originally relied on a 5 percent rental car tax collected in Durham, Wake and Orange Counties that once generated $7.5 million per year but "has fallen in the past two years to $6.7 million. With the 12 stops for 2008 looming on an already faroff horizon, the light rail’s eastern and western ends were the first to feel the budgetary constraints. Claflin added that plans for the four stops —includ-
dent in molecular genetics and microbiology, and other event organizers estimated that between 80 and 100 students would lose their spots in the lottery as a result of the random checks. To fully relocate for the weekend and avoid elimination, graduate students brought along televisions, stereo systems, electrical generators, couches, party lights, grills, food, alcohol and in some cases even their own children. “It definitely builds a community,” said Natalie Goodpaster, a third-year graduate student in economics. “You get more into the spirit of the sport and meet people from different schools.” From 7 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Sunday, the Blue Zone became the setting for a graduate student mixer, bringing together students from various fields of study. Two tiers of the parking lot were lined with RVs and rental trucks, while the field below housed the majority of the tents. During nights on the vehicle tiers, the sounds of music and whirring generators were the backdrop for several groups playing drinking games and watching television. During the day, groups of students played frisbee, SEE CAMPOUT ON PAGE 12

A quote from then-president and School of Law alumnus Richard Nixon was the only text on the page. Eight days earlier, The Chronicle had written a staff editorial entitled “More than just a boycott” about a scheduled student-run day of activism against the war in Vietnam. Provost Marcus Hobbs had instructed faculty to hold classes as usual. The editorial asked, “Is this really our University? We hope not.” Activism was alive and well at Duke. And this newspaper, now celebrating its 100th year, was a part of it. The fall of 1969 was a volatile time on campus.

Into the city Speaker offers new memory theory reaches out to Durham by
Mona Cheema
THE CHRONICLE
by
Scientists and researchers have long searched for an explanation of what physically happens in the brain when people learn and remember. Rutgers psychologist Randy Gallistel gave a speech at Duke Friday that challenged the traditional assumptions of how learning occurs as part of the University’s Mind, Brain and Behavior Distinguished Lecture Series. The talk, “An Information-Processing Perspective on Conditioning,” illuminated alternative ways of conceptualizing physical changes in the brain during learning. His theory centers around the idea that animals have the ability to formulate memories in terms of number and duration of stimuli, which enables the animals to better navigate their world and anticipate events. Gallistel, who was recently elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, attempted to show that classic associative theories do not fully account for experimental data. He believes that conditioning is a response of animals processing information numerically rather than through association of two stimuli repeated in a time-sensitive interval. “There is no such thing as an associative connection,” he said. “Associative theory has no contribution to the understanding to Pavlov’s theory.” Many who attended Gallistel’s lecture came away with a note of optimism. “I was impressed by his challenge to the neurobiological community to investigate the unknown mechanisms ofhow numerical data is effectively stored,” sophomore Stacie Ulanch said. “It reminded me that there are still vast quantities of information left to be discovered in the field of psychology today.”

More than 200 students—the largest turnout in the eight-year history of Into the City—gathered Saturday in front of Baldwin Auditorium and prepared to venture into Durham. In past years, Into the City’s purpose has been to introduce freshmen to the city of Durham and to the many opportunities for community service that the city can offer. This year, the Community Service Center expanded the program to include upperclassmen as among the Saturdy kickoff events to President Richard Brodhead’s inauguration. The event also was the community service aspect of Greek Week, a celebration of fraternity and sorority life at Duke. These two additional purposes of Into the City drew about 50 upperclassmen in addition to the 150 freshmen. Senior Alice Williamson, co-director of the Community Service Center said the event had a higher profile this year than it has in previous years. Greek Week drew people who would not normally participate to represent their greek organizations, she said. She further attributed the high student turnout to Into the City’s affiliation with Brodhead’s inauguration. “I firmly believe that President Brodhead’s presence and the fact that this was SEE INTO THE CITY ON PAGE 12

ing occurs by association.” Gallistel acknowledged that his conclusions are “the antichrist to associative biology.” He believes his research points to a better theory, one with fewer parameters and experimental variables than classic associative theory. “The only problem, however, is that neurobiology has yet to investigate a physical basis for a read-write memory,” he said. He hopes his findings will prompt neurobiologists to research data processing in the brain from a novel perspective that will lead to more answers. “The basis of memory in the brain is just as deep and important of a mystery as DNA,” he said. �

DUKE 4 “I was ‘Go like, WAKE 3 Go in! in!’” Dudek said, Her prayer was answered, and Duke (5-1, 1-0 in the ACC) earned a 4-3 win over last year’s national champion Wake Forest (6-1, 0-1) at Kentner Stadium in Winston-Salem. The loss for the Demon Deacons was only their second in 48 games; both defeats came at the hands of the Blue Devils. Even though the game-winning goal was not off a beautiful, thundering shot, Duke head coach Beth Bozman said it was not an easy save. “[The shot by Dudek] was an off-paced ball,” Bozman said. “Sometimes those are the most
dangerous for a keeper because they are coming out at one speed, so it’s kind of like a changeup in baseball.” The contest was an up-anddown nail-biter. According to the sheet, there were 50 shots registered on goal for the game. Although Bozman insisted that there were closer to 30 shots on goal, both teams had their fair share of harrowing moments. “When one team made one mistake, it was a goal,” Bozman said. “It was one of those dangerous games for either team. They made some adjustments in the second half, because we did have a lot of scoring opportunities in the first half, but we were able to control the batde a little bit.” The game started with a bang. Two minutes in, Wake Forest mounted an attack that ended when freshman standout Tamar Meijer chipped the ball past Blue Devil keeper Christy Morgan to open the scoring. In the 28th minute, Duke responded with a goal from speedy senior Chrissie Murphy. After a stat
battle for possession in the midfield, the Blue Devils recovered the ball and entered the Demon Deacons’ circle. Murphy capitalized in front of the net and evened the score at 1-1. But six minutes before halftime, Wake Forest again took the lead on a perfecdy executed penalty corner, and Duke went into the locker room down 2-1. The seesaw continued rocking when both teams took the field during the second half. Senior midfielder Johanna Bischof picked up a loose ball on top of the circle seven minutes into the period and fired a shot on goal. The ball found the back of the net after a Dudek screen on
Gagliardi.
But with 21 minutes left in regulation, the Blue Devils again found themselves staring at a one goal deficit. Kristi Harshman sparked a counter-attack and found Haley Scott for Wake Forest’s third goal of the game. When it appeared that Duke would have to settle for a loss to its intra-state nemesis, sopho-
more Amy Stopford gave Duke new life. The sophomore midfielder fired home the tying goal with 11 minutes left. ‘There was a loose ball at the top of the circle, and I just shot it far post,” Stopford said. “It was such a great goal, I really can’t exactly remember all of it, I was in the moment.” The Stopford goal sent the contest into overtime, when Dudek’s shot squibbed past Gagliardi. The win for Duke helped wash away memories of the team’s poor performance in an early-season loss to Michigan State. “Every game we have been getting better,” Bozman said. “Certainly, the Michigan State game, that debacle was something that we really took to heart and learned from and we’ve been gradually tweaking little things all along.” For seniors like Bischof, this game was as big as any other regular season win. Duke only has four conference games before the ACC tournament, so each ACC match is very important. “In the past we haven’t won
many big ACC season games,” Bischof said. ‘This one was huge in terms of beating Wake, and in terms of standings for the ACC tournament.” A day after the win, the Blue Devils took on Kent State (2-3) at home. The Golden Flashes were completely overmatched, and Duke cruised to a comfortable 10-0 victory. Duke’s play over the weekend showed a complete change in Duke’s mindset and attitude. Coming into Saturday’s match, the Blue Devils were a team struggling to cope with lofty expectations for the season. After defeating last year’s national champion, there is no question the team gained a large boost of confidence. ‘There has been a lot of pressure on this team, they weren’t used to achieving the things they did last year, so there has got to be some pressure they don’t even talk about,” Bozman said. “I think [Saturday] they realized that they were going to be all right and were going to be good.” ‘

The defense in front of Lipsher was solid, to eight shots and one corner attempt. “Our team defense really improved,” said Church, whose team surrendered five goals to Florida in its previous game. “We came into the games looking to work on our organization in the final third.” The Blue Devils’ defense remained solid in game two of the Classic, when senior Casey McCluskey was the offensive catalyst. McCluskey scored in 20th and 44th minutes, her second and third goals of the season. Carolyn Riggs netted the final goal, her first of in 2004, in the 76th minute. The team’s 3-0 win over Long Beach State (3-1) was indicative of its offensive fortitude. Duke outshot the 49ers 20-2. Despite dealing with serious jetlag and the distractions of some free time in the paradise that is Hawaii, Church said, “The girls adjusted well.” The Blue Devils flew back to North Carolina Sunday and will have a week to prepare for the important Duke/adidas Classic Friday and Sunday. Both Georgiaand Furman are in Duke’s region, and therefore the contests could have NCAA Tournament implications. “We came down here to improve and we achieved that,” Church said. “We’re looking to take those improvements into our next games.”

The men’s soccer team won two games this weekend in the 2004 Duke/adidas Soccer Classic, defeating the Columbia Lions 1-0 on Friday night and the Farleigh Dickinson (NJ.) Knights 2-0 Saturday.

DUKE 2 The team improved to 5-0 on the season, and goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge, a senior co-captain, has yet to surrender a goal this year. “I think we’ve gotten a little bit better every game, and I think this is the best we’ve played so far,” Rennie said. “We’ve worked very, very hard and we’re continuing to get better. You can’t ask for anything more with a young team.” Although the Blue Devils only triumphed by a single goal against Columbia, Duke controlled the game from start to finish. The lone goal was of the most spectacular variety, as sophomore Chris Loftus connected on a bicycle kick from 10 yards out in the 28th minute. The play began with a header by freshman Paul freshman Spencer Dudley and Wadsworth deflected the ball before it landed on Loftus’ foot.

I mean we had 16 shots and one goal, but what we did well was we worked hard the whole game, we never gave up, and we just gave it all we had.” Saturday night against a well-respected Farleigh Dickinson squad, an early foul against the Knights set up the first of two goals for the Blue Devils. In the sixth minute, Videira sent the indirect kick over the heads of the 6-foot-7 Dudley and 6-foot-5 Loftus. The ball found 5-foot-8 junior Danny Kramer, who volleyed it into an open goal for the 1-0 lead. “We have so many tall targets so I think everyone just pretty much forgot about me,” Kramer said. ‘The ball just fell into
my lap, and luckily I put it away.” The Knights threatened only once, when Antonio Nunziata took a direct free kick from 20 yards out and hit the crossbar during the 25th minute. Until late in the second half, the game remained 1-0. Duke played like it did the night before, outshooting FDU 17-3. At the beginning of the half, Loftus appeared to score a goal on a header after a beautiful cross by freshman Zachary Pope, but it was disallowed when the far referee flagged Loftus for offside. The Blue Devils finally secured the game in the 84th minute, when an allfreshman connection gave Duke the insurance goal it needed. The play began
The Duke cross country teams dominated their competition, as they continued the success of last weeks’ Wake Forest Relays. At the Georgetown Invitational Saturday, the Blue Devils endured the opposition and the heat to capture both men’s and women’s individual crowns and both team titles. “I’m very happy with the meet at Great Meadows,” men’s head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “It was the first time we had run the course and it was a fairly challenging course, and we faced a couple very good teams in the Georgetown team and the American team. Both Georgetown teams are nationally ranked. It was a good challenge and [our] athletes responded.” Junior Nick Schneider finished in first place and led a Duke men’s team that claimed four of the top five spots. On the heels of these strong performances Duke dominated the overall standings and the Hoyas finished a distant second. With a time of 19:49.05, Schneider finished 15 seconds ahead ofAmerican’s Pat McCadie in the 4.1-mile race. Ogilvie said Schneider looked comfortable and confident with the lead the entire race. The senior took the lead early and McCadie challenged, but Schneider pulled away during the third mile. By the fourth mile, Schneider’s win was “all but academic,” Ogilvie said. The coach remains enthusiastic about what his team has shown in the last two weeks, but with his eyes set on an ACC championship, he understood that there was still much to be done. ‘This does huge things for the team’s confidence,” Ogilvie said. “All of the hard work we’ve been doing is putting us right

Still, the Seminoles had a chance to pull ahead in overtime. But Rix fumbled on third down, and the Hurricanes ended it from there.

THE CHRONICLE
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. Every athlete dreams of being in the situation that the Duke players faced Saturday with 3:40 remaining in regulation. Trailing by two points, the Blue Devils had the ball on their 23 yard line with one last chance to win the game. On that drive, Duke showed the heart and grit of a winner, and yet the miliar as Connecticut rejoiced on the Sideline. analysis “It’s our turn,” quarterback Mike Schneider said to himself during that final drive. “It’s happened to us enough in the last couple of years. I was like, ‘lt’s our turn to win this one.’” With just six seconds left on the clock, Matt Brooks’ 36-yard field goal missed wide left, capping another win that “should have been.” It was the seventh time in the last three seasons the Blue Devils lost a game by a touchdown or less, bringing back nightmares of the Carl Franks era. The plays of that drive were indicative of where the Duke program stands—it is taking strides in the right direction, but still has a long way to go. The young team has struggled to
find an identity on the offensive side of the field during head coach Ted Roofs short tenure, often shuffling quarterbacks in and out of the game. Saturday was different, however, and the offense responded nicely. Chris Dapolito managed Duke’s game effectively, especially considering leading rusher Cedric Dargan had only eight carries because of a leg injury. Dapolito made just one major mistake, an interception that was returned for a touchdown to bring the Huskies within one point with 10 minutes left in the game. After watching the entire game from the sideline as teammate Dapolito set personal marks in yards, completions and attempts, Roof called Schneider’s number in the waning moments to try to mastermind a comeback. “Dap had a better week at practice and Mike’s a little more comfortable in the pocket, and we needed to stay in the pocket and throw the football,” Roof said about his quarterback decisions. “Mike came in and did a good job and made some good throws.” The decision to bring in a cold quarterback in such a crucial situation was questionable, despite the fact that Schneider is a more adept passer. “[Coach Roof] gave me about three minutes to warm up and that
was it,” Schneider said. “He said ‘Go out there and make plays.’” The drive, although marred by incompletions and penalties, seemed more motivated than most of Duke’s attempted comebacks in recent memory. Sloppiness and mental mistakes dug the Blue Devils into a seemingly insurmountable 4th-and-17 hole. Schneider marched 43 yards, at times showing reasons for optimism, but no one in the sold-out Rentschler Field expected lowly Duke to convert this down, except maybe the players themselves. The sophomore quarterback dropped back, braced for a hit from the oncoming blitz, and threw a bullet into Ronnie Elliott’s chest along the right sideline. The completion signified everything that Roof and the up and coming Blue Devil program is hoping to accomplish. The players believed in their own abilities and took a major step. The drive was not the prettiest, nor was it the most efficient twominute drill. But Duke moved the ball down the field when it needed to, and it completed a play that it almost certainly would have messed up in the past. At that moment it no longer mattered that the Blue Devils surrenSEE SEASON ON PAGE 7

UCONN from TC page 1 take a look at,” Duke head coach Ted Roof said. “We made several good plays... we just needed to make one more.” Until the field goal miss, Duke came through when it needed to during a messy but effective final drive. The Blue Devils faced 4thand-17 inside Connecticut territory with less than a minute remaining when quarterback Mike Schneider delivered a blistering 23-yard completion to Ronnie Elliott on the right side. On the ensuing play, Aaron Fryer took a handoff from Schneider but could only muster two yards. After the teams called successive timeouts, Brooks came on only to miss. At the start of the fourth, it did not seem like the outcome would depend on a last-second field goal. The Blue Devils had a 20-6 lead before the Huskies roared back with 16 unanswered points to take their first lead since the opening quarter. A 13-play touchdown drive ended with a one-yard run by Cornell Brockington, who carried the ball six times during the series. With one touchdown separating the Huskies and the Blue Devils and 10 minutes remaining in the game, a UConn interception brought it even closer. On the second play of the drive Justin Perkins intercepted a Chris Dapolito pass, running it back for a 27-yard touchdown. “The interception return for a touchdown was a big turning point in the game. It was a late throw and the DB made a good break on it,” said Dapolito, who started and ran the offense until he was pulled for Schneider at the start of Duke’s final drive. Casey Camero prevented the Huskies from tying the game when he blocked UConn’s point-after attempt. The Blue Devils, however, were unable to take advantage, going three and out on their next position. And even though UConn was flagged for excessive celebration after sacking Dapolito, the 15yard penalty did not even give Duke a first down. With the ball back, the Huskies moved down the field and took the lead on a 21-yard field goal with 3:40 remaining. Especially in the fourth quarter, UConn’s All-American caliber to

quarterback Dan Orlovsky picked apart a young Duke secondary. The Huskies targeted true freshman Daniel Charbonnet, who was playing in place of injured co-captain Kenneth Stanford. Orlovsky had his way with the Duke defense throughout the game, but in the red zone, Duke slowed the passing attack. Orlovsky threw five touchdown passes last weekend, but could not muster a single touchdown against the Blue Devils. The quarterback completed 23-of-34 attempts for 290 yards on the afternoon. “We knew that they are a great passing team and that they have a very good quarterback,” cornerback John Talley said. “We just tried to go out there and take care of our responsibilities.” Talley took it upon himself to give the Blue Devils an early lead, intercepting an Orlovsky pass for a 57-yard touchdown return. During the run back, co-captain defensive end Phillip Alexander broke his lower left leg blocking for Talley. Alexander, who has a redshirt year remaining if he chooses to use it, will be out for most of the season. Surprising many, Roof started Dapolito and stuck with his more mobile quarterback well into the fourth. In his second career start, Dapolito had career highs with 21 pass attempts and 12 completions for 129 yards. On the final drive, when the Blue Devils needed to focus on the passing game, Roof pulled Dapolito for Schneider. The coach said his decision was based on Schneider’s comfort in the pocket. “He [Schneider] executed. [He] got us down there and gave us a chance to win at the end,” Roof said. Extra pressure was put on the quarterbacks because starting running back Cedric Dargan played sparingly, only carrying the ball eight times for 21 yards. Dargan injured his leg against Navy. For the second consecutive week, Duke was unable to maintain a lead. The Huskies have been a terrific closing team of late, with four of their last seven victories coming in the final 30 seconds. “I couldn’t have lived with myself if I didn’t give my team a chance to win at the end,” Roof said. “I’m proud of the effort. I’m proud of the way we fought and thought that we really emptied our tank today.”

Senior Saras Arasu opened her 2004-2005 campaign by winning her singles draw this weekend
The women’s tennis team opened its season this past weekend in Wilmington, N.C., where the Blue Devils batded their way through a rain-delayed tournament. Senior Saras Arasu and sophomore Tori Zawacki each took first place in their separate singles draws. The pair took third place as a doubles team. Arasu, who had not played a competitive match since last spring’s NCAA Tournament, showed no signs of being out of form as she easily handled her first opponent 6-1, 6-0. Arasu was tested in her second match, against North Carolina’s Charlotte Tansill. After Tansill won the first set, play was suspended due to weather conditions. Arasu opened the next day strong, however, rebounding to force a super-tiebreaker and capture the win. Zawacki, who changed her forehand swing over the summer, was also playing the tournament to get adjusted to match competition again. The Blue Devil routed her
Eastern Carolina opponent 6-2, 6-2 Friday in the first of her three matches. Saturday the clay courts and constant rainfall slowed the pace of the match, lending a small advantage to her N.C. State opponent’s style of play. But Zawacki showed the power of her new forehand with a 6-3, 6-4 win and subsequendy won her third match over North Carolina’s Alex Jurewicz. ‘The conditions and level of play were tough in the second round, but both gained a lot of confidence [from their play],” assistant coach Adam Gusky said. The duo, which usually does not play together, did not fare as well in doubles competition. The Blue Devil pair won its first match against UNC-Greensboro, 8-3, but was not able to keep the momentum going. Facing N.C State, the Duke pair took a 4-1 lead. The Wolfpack team rallied back, but still trailed by one point, 7-6, eventually pushing the match to a tie-breaker. “[Saras and Zawacki] had a lot of opportunities to win, but they could not shut the door,” Gusky said.

Duncan led Clemson’s third-ranked squad, which finished third in the tournament, behind Tennessee and TCU. Second-team preseason All-American junior Nathan Smith had the best performance for the Blue Devils, coming in fifth place. His final-round 68 tied him for the second-lowest round of the tournament. “I played all right this weekend. I did certain things well and I made a lot of birdies, but I was pretty rusty, too,” Smith said. “I feel like I should have won that tournament. I made some uncharacteristic errors, with some double bogeys and hitting some balls in hazards. It was still a good way to start off the year. It was a really competitive field.” Smith started the day at even par and finished the front nine with one birdie and one bogey. He then surged, making birdies on the first four holes after the turn. He could not get any closer than that, however, as he finished at four-under for the weekend. “I missed a four-footer for birdie on five that would have been five birdies in a row and missed an eagle opportunity on eight. The first four holes kept me in it, but I could have gotten much closer,” Smith said. Michael Quagliano, one of two Duke freshmen in the lineup, was impressive in his first collegiate tournament. During his final round, he was as low as two under par, before struggling on his final nine holes to finish at two over for the 54hole event. “[Quagliano] played well,” Smith said. “He played pretty solid throughout the whole week. I was definitely impressed.” Other Duke competitors were freshman Michael Schachner, junior Alex Wilson and senior Tom Lefebvre. All three golfers struggled, but each kept all of theirrounds in the 70s. Schachner finished strong, with a final round 73, moving himself up five spots on the leaderboard, showing impressive composure for a freshman. “Schachner is a real good player,” Smith said. “I expect really good things from him in the future.” The Blue Devils were hurt by the loss of third team preseason All-American junior Ryan Blaum, who competed in the Oregon Classic, a tournament on the Nationwide Tour. The Duke men continue their season next weekend at The Farm tournament in Dalton, Ga.

Ogilvie said he was confident about his top four runners, but realizes that if Duke is going to challenge for the ACC title he needs a fifth strong contributor. Equally strong was the solid performance of the women’s team, which, led by Ali Henderson (18:05.48), captured five of the top seven spots in the 5,000-kilometer race. “Ali Henderson led from start to finish,” women’s head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “I was very pleased with the way she ran. She was the highlight of our weekend.” Closely following Henderson were Tia Ferguson (18:20.25) and File Pishney

Despite hitting a milestone with his 400 th victory, Rennie was a bit surprised when asked how he felt about it. “I didn’t realize that,” Rennie said with a chuckle. “It feels great, particularly [because] the fifth game of the season was our
biggest game so far. I think it’s a very good win and I’m delighted with that as well as 400, so it’s all good.” On the injury front, Nigi Adogwa hurt his hamstring against Columbia and did not play against FDU. Loftus injured an ankle late against the Knights. Rennie said that both players were questionable for Duke’s next game, which takes place Wednesday at 7 p.m. when Campbell comes to play at Koskinen Stadium.

dered 16 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. The team seemed determined to win and not fall short like they had so many times in the past. Because Brooks missed a 36-yard field goal attempt from the right hash mark, people will remember this game for the botched kick. They will question why Roof did not run a play to center the ball, but that is not what should be taken out of this game. “What I didn’t want to do is run one more play and have a hobbled snap, and some type offumble where the ball is getting kicked out and running lose on the ground,” Roof said. “I wanted to make sure our kids had the chance to win at the end of the game.” Just the fact that Duke was in contention

who finished second and fourth, respectively. The women’s spectacular performance was all the more impressive considering Jermyn took a random sampling of five of his 14 runners to Great Meadows. “I think it was a real booster for us to go out and win like that, not running on the very top of our roster,” Jermyn said. “We have great depth. We can really send any five of our girls and go out and beat any team in the country. Every person on the roster really believes that they can compete at this level and go out and be one of the top teams in the nation.” The cross country team travels this weekend to San Diego for the Aztec Invitational.

late proves the team has made great strides in the past week. The Blue Devils faced an All-American caliber quarterback in Dan Orlovsky without two of their defensive captains, Kenneth Stanford and Philip Alexander (who was injured early in the game) and controlled him for much of the first three quarters. The defense finally cracked in the fourth quarter, but even then the team put itself in the chance to win. What is often overlooked because of the excitement generated by Roof and his new coaching staff, is that the 2004 Blue Devils are a young and inexperienced group of players. They often follow great plays with poor ones. The near-win against Connecticut proves that Duke has a lot of potential if it can learn to eliminate inexperienced mistakes. “We’ve got to find away to make one more play,” Roof said. It should not be long before they do.

Todd Rancke, Trinity ’Bl, who lost his life in the attacks. “[Talking to her] was extremely moving,” Brodhead said. “She’s a strong and dignified person, but when you lose someone in any way, the loss of it never goes away.

Durham City Council member Eugene Brown said the “first leg has to be successful” or any filture projects will prove problematic, Although the four missing stops gready reduced the costs of constructing the light rail, Brown said he did not consider the savings “realistic” since a diminished system would likely have less importance in the region and less appeal to Congress.
have some sense of how the loss feels.” Only a handful of students attended the Saturday morning ceremony—approximately 20 people were on hand at the event that officially started the beginning of Brodhead’s presidential inauguration week. The low attendance continues the trend of diminishing student interest in the Sept. 11 anniversary. Whereas the last two years saw numerous vigils, religious services and academic discussions to commemorate the event, the morning ceremony in Memorial Grove and the student-organized event in Wallace Wade Stadium in the afternoon provided the only two opportunities for students to reflect. In the past, chapel bells were rung at the times when the hijacked planes first hit the World Trade Center and Pentagon. This year Sam Hammond, the individual usually charged to ring the bells, was out of town for the weekend, and the chapel remained silent Saturday morning. Duke officials said the low-scale ceremonies were appropriate. “There are all kinds of events that occur that we no longer commemorate,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “It 4s a good example of how things recede in people’s minds.”

JOURNALS from page 1 Doctors should never be put in the position of prescribing medications to a patient with only partial access to what is known about the drug’s effects.” Pharmaceutical companies will have a grace period until 2005, at which point all trials will have to be registered. According to the “Joint Statement on Legislation to Establish a Clinical Trials Registry” by Markey and fellow Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman of California, researchers will have to disclose the objectives, eligibility criteria, sources of funding and anticipated timeline of clinical trials to satisfy the objectives set forth by the American Medical Association to protect patients and educate doctors. Markey claims that companies and researchers have a moral and ethical responsibility to share their trials with the public, and failure to abide by the new regulations will result in civil penalties. “The bill that we are going to be introducing will ensure that patients have the tools they need to make informed decisions, maintain the integrity of the medical community and protect the health of their patients and our families,” said Markey in his statement to the U.S. Congress last week. Academics also agree on the pressing need for increased transparency in the pharmaceutical world. “We only know what works, but what doesn’t work is just as important,” said Elizabeth Vigdor, assistant professor of public policy. “Only printing what the pharmaceutical companies want creates a publication bias and we should put research into perspective.” Pharmaceutical companies, including Eli Lilly, Forest Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline and Merck, have reacted strongly and have offered counter-pro-
posals such as optional registration, but
Curfman and the other editors will not accept such propositions. Vigdor attributed this suggestion of voluntary registration as just away “to avoid being sued” and said the proposed legislation is necessary to rectify this controversy. “If it is not mandatory, it will be easy to just drop off and not publish in the database down the road,” she said. “Without Congress, it will be unlikely to hold up over time.” David Pisetsky, professor of rheumatology and immunology, offers an alternative viewpoint. As editor of Arthritis & Rheumatism, the leading journal in the field, he questions the practicality of such a rigorous system. “It is difficult for people to understand the true complexity of these data sets —we want fair presentation but in a journal only a very small data sample is scrutinized and published,” he said. “It requires an extraordinary time commitment to look at these data sets and protocols, which is only possible for large medical journals like the Journal of the American Medical Association, the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet—three of the big supporters of this decision.” Smaller journals, including Pisetsky’s, rely on volunteer reviewers and do not have a full-time staff. “It will be very difficult to get people to analyze all this highly sophisticated data that would now be required,” he said. “I just don’t think this is necessarily the best way to accomplish this.” Pisetsky, on the other hand, does agree with the other editors that the FDA needs to strengthen and expand its expertise in monitoring clinical trials. “It is not the journal’s responsibility to be a regulatory agent. The FDA has already established itself as the primary investigator of drug tests and it should stay that way,” he said.
INTO THE CITY from page 6 part of his week of inauguration made this particular Into the City program very special,” said Sam Miglarese, assistant director of community affairs. ‘The fact that he was willing to kick off... his week of inauguration activities taking up aJull day of his time and energy to be with Duke students as they lived out the values of citizenship in their various work sites.” Brodhead and Durham Mayor Bill Bell, addressed the participants before they scattered to 22 community service sites around the city. “Duke has been an excellent partner for the city of Durham,” Bell said, urging students to take advantage of the many opportunities available within Durham and praising the strength of Duke and Durham’s town-gown relationship. Brodhead noted that Saturday was the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, telling students that works ofconstruction have the power to undo works of destruction. He further encouraged students to
learn from the people they would work with and to help others learn from them by bringing “creativity and energy” to their sites of service. Brodhead then donned a pair of work gloves, chatted with several students and departed to the Walltown Children’s Theater in the Crest Street neighborhood. He also visited three other sites, concluding at a fish fry at the AIDS Community Residents Association. Sophomore Erika Collins, who volunteered at Walltown Park, was positive about her group’s efforts to remove litter from a creek. “There was a lot of glass, and it was good to be able to clean up,” she said. She added that the citizens of Durham appreciated the service of Duke students. “It was good for them to see that there are Duke students who care and want to help the community.” Senior Alex Vargas was enthusiastic about the program. ‘The people were very friendly to us,” he said. AJ. White, president of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, praised the event, saying it was “nice seeing everyone from different parts of the campus, and it was a fun experience.” to
CAMPOUT from page 3 relaxed in front of their camps, and the occasional student stretched out in the sun next to a biology textbook. The weekend was not, however, just one big tailgate party. “I’m definitely partial to K-ville —I liked K-ville a lot better,” said first-year business student Jason Darling, Trinity ‘99, who tented in K-ville as an undergraduate. ‘This hurts—it’s very tiring. It’s fun to party and have a good time, but it’s exhausting.” Darling and his wife Meghan, also a first-year business student, were two of many campers who got together with a group and rented a truck
sleep in and store their belongings. Campers who tired of watching televi-
sion could also enjoy a basketball shoot-out for charity or a massage table provided by physical therapy students. Student Health Services, the Alumni Association and the Iron Dukes also made appearances. Community service was one of organizers’ themes for the campout, as all students were required to bring at least one canned food item for charity in order to participate. The GPSC campout is not as extensive as Krzyzewskiville, but to graduate and professional students, it is as close as they can get to craziness until the season starts. As Kovacs said, “there’s nothing like this anywhere.”

Administration taking safety steps The robbery of four students near Brighdeaf Square early Friday morning and the robbery near Edens early Saturday morning have created understandable anxiety. I want
everyone to know of the steps we have
already put in place and some of our plans to ensure that we provide a safe and secure environment for the Duke community. As the academic year began, Duke Police instituted a program with Durham Police to provide expanded patrols on 9th Street and immediately off of East Campus. We also hired contract safety personnel to supplement the work of the Duke Police on campus. Starting this Saturday we expanded those programs, authorized additional overtime for Duke Police, the hiring ofadditional contract personnel and expanded the joint patrols with the Durham Police department on campus. Saturday night, in addition to the normal complement of weekend police and safety personnel, there were additional police officers on West, East and Central. Additional contract officers, bringing their total to 15, were on West campus. All of these officers were on foot, bike and Segways. Eight additional security personnel were in vehicles. On Sunday, we also utilized expanded crews of Durham Police, contract officers and safety personnel to supplement the normal assignment of Duke Police. I have authorized these expanded patrols for the foreseeable future. Members of the campus community can expect to see a far more visible presence of police and safety personnel, especially at night
and on weekends. We will send a signal to anyone who might think of coming to the campus to commit a crime. Last week, President Richard Brodhead asked me to head a group of senior administrators, including vice presidents Dawkins, Moneta and Burness to work with Duke Police and to detail a plan that will include different deployment of personnel and resources to meet our safety challenges. Considerable work had already been done over the summer, but President Brodhead asked that this planning process be accelerated. For obvious reasons we will not be able to reveal all aspects of our plans but we will share the oudine with the campus community by the end of the month. I want to report some good news. Last spring, a student was accosted in her Central Campus apartment. Fortunately, after she, protested, the person left and she was unharmed. In August, Duke Police arrested a suspect. His case goes to court in October. Ours is essentially a safe campus. Duke is an open campus where more than 30,000 people gather every day. We have the largest university police force in the state deployed over West, East and Central campuses as well as a medical center which has its own security needs. It is, nonetheless, important that members of the university community take appropriate steps to help ensure their own safety. Tallman Trask 111 Executive Vice President
Malaklou’s argument flawed, hurtful Something truly shocking happened Friday. Shadee Malaklou actually got something right: that “Duke students [are] conditioned, convinced and confused about the Middle East.” This statement applies most poignandy to the person to whom it is accredited—Shadee. True to form, however, the rest ofher article was full of distortions and specious reasoning. She criticizes others for not doing their research, but she did not do hers. Her claim that “Even Palestinians on campus feel silenced by Duke Friends of Israel and the Freeman Center for Jewish Life’s undying presence” is in particularly poor taste given that the Joint Israel Initiative has not only fully supported freedom of speech and the right of the PSM to come to Duke’s campus but has also publicly invited the PSM’s organizers to engage in open and respectful dialogue. Moreover, yes, the word “Semite” applies to Jews and Arabs, but the word “anti-Semitism,” defined by Shadee’s source yourDictionary.com, means “one who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews.” Her conflation of terms only serves to further demonstrate her poisonous ignorance.
While I could continue pointing out flaws in Shadee’s column, there’s a bigger issue at stake here. Shadee’s accusations about Jewish power and Jewish money are no different than the false charges used to justify hatred and violence against Jews for centuries. She also accuses two students of being anti-Semitic when she doesn’t even know the meaning of the word. Her speech is the kind that breeds animosity and impedes dialogue. Last year, The Chronicle inadvertently printed a racist remark about Luol Deng. The Chronicle immediately issued an apology, and a heated debate about whether that writer should resign ensued. Had the editors of this newspaper caught that remark, it would never have been printed. Yet in this case, The Chronicle knowingly printed a column that was purposefully anti-Semitic. Why this form ofhate speech is permissible to the editors of The Chronicle while another isn’t is highly problematic. This is irresponsible journalism. Shadee makes herself, this newspaper and this University look bad. Rachael Solomon Student President, Freeman Centerfor Jewish Life

3 years later, a New Yorker tries to smile by Matt Sullivan
I
remember sitting there slumped and ineffective, as only an advanced calculus problem can do to a sleepy New Yorker early on a golden Tuesday morning. Our math teacher had given us first period alone to combat a problem set, and it must have been around 8:48 or so when the twodozen of us boys all looked up at the clock in the front of the room, frustrated and lazy and clamoring to get out of there rather than help each other get through the next integral. Some 18 minutes later I remained there at a desk in a classroom, unaware of most everything just then except the book in front of me—much like another prep-schooler spending the morning down in Florida. And then, finally, we were allowed to make our way out of that quiet little space. It was 9:11 on 9/11, and all I wanted was to take it easy. As we congregated for an all-school assembly second period, I was about to ask the senior classmate next to me to turn down the rap music blaring through his headphones when he pulled them off of one ear with, of all things, a smile. Some idiot had clipped a wing into the World Trade Center, the radio station had said in between songs. I brushed him off and rolled my eyes over to my high school’s

The school broke offinto sections rather to the outside world were locked even faster. I watched from the back row of our basement auditorium as some Upper Schoolers took off their ties, others climbed over chairs to reach for a friend’s cell phone that might be getting service, and the rest Just sat there slumped and ineffective, listening to the radio on a boom box placed on the stage. I couldn’t even see what was happening on Sept. 11, 2001, not even when the lady on the radio gasped her lungs in and the man’s voice said, “My goodness, the south tower has just collapsed.” Upstairs —that dreaded upstairs—in a science classroom with my smaller advisory group, a junior who I only knew fairly well stumbled about trying to make his cell phone work and fell into my arms. “My f—ing dad works on the top floor of the World Trade Center,” he cried. Eventually we all made it back downstairs (and so did my friend’s father, after sliding down several stories ofrubble). We hugged and we listened and we helped

each other hug and listen like we never would have in math class or in anything just an hour and a half earlier. And I’d never been so happy to see my mom in my entire life. She had walked straight toward me from a meeting way downtown, and then I joined her and hordes of helpless New York zombies trudging further up the sidewalk, the fighter jets whizzing toward the plumes ofblack air behind us. I watched TV for the rest of the afternoon because I was so scared that I needed to take it easy. But I woke up the next day with, of all things, a smile. I hadn’t dreamt.even half a nightmare, and I knew that in a half hour I’d be meeting a dozen of my best friends to collect donations for rescue workers at Ground Zero. And even as I passed the “Missing! flyers plastered on the apartment building walls and as the New York zombies passed my apartment building holding candles on their way to the firefighters’ monument on my corner, I smiled. After the most unforgettable day of any New Yorker’s life, it was as if we all forgot how to be the smarmy, self-involved creatures we’d always been. We all wanted to be a “we,” from the 40-year-old driving me and a bunch of food and flashlights to a ”

nememDerinff OODLOIII.DOF _L_L V O Greenville, N.C.: I watched the twin towers
topple to the ground on a tiny television set in my eleventhgrade Latin classroom. I remember hearing only silence as everyone gaped at the image of gray smoke filling the screen. No one screamed. No one cried. We just stared. From that moment on, teachers and administrators required all students to remain on campus and forbade us from watching TV. It was official policy to proceed as thoughnothing had happened. But the students refused to listen. We knew that the same confusion consuming our thoughts was festering beneath the facade of calm worn by every authority figure standing before us. Like us, they mourned the tragedy. They too wanted to know the answer to the pressing question, “why?” And they undoubtedly shared our fear that the attacks were a part of a larger campaign aimed not only at other major U.S. cities, but also at the large military bases in eastern North Carolina—home to some of the most elite forces in the armed services and the loved ones of many faculty and students. It was only the students, however, who understood that more could be learned that day from a television screen and spontaneous conversation than a scheduled lecture and feigned normality. In an unusual show of solidarity, each of my classes protested until the teacher flipped on CNN or opened up to floor for discussion. We demanded the right to learn and grieve together. Only then did the tears come.
Seyward Darby Andover, Mass.: On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001,1 was waiting for a second-period Latin class to begin. I had just begun my senior year at a boarding school north of Boston. The boy sitting next to me told me that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center in New York. At first I imagined a single-engine plane doing minimal damage or a 747 grazing an antenna on top of the building. These relatively optimistic images disappeared when class let out. In between classes, I went to the student center, saw two flaming holes in the towers and understood a little bit better the enormity ofwhat was going on in New York. Third period was Irish Literature; we read an
essay by Seamus Heaney
on
dealing with
everyday life in the face of terrorism. Good as it
was, the piece did little to prepare me for what I saw when I left class: Mass. Governor
Jane
Swift closing down Boston Harbor, faculty and students with New York ties rushing to get information, priests blessing en masse bodies dragged from the ruins of the towers. Massachusetts—indeed all of New Eng-
land—avoided harm that day, but my geographical distance from the suffering did nothing to decrease my fear and pain during those first few bewildering hours. Paul Crowley
Long Island, N.Y.: I live in a small suburban town on Long Island that borders Queens, and it takes a short half-hour ride via the Long Island Railroad to get to Manhattan. The morning of Sept. 11, 2001, we began our school day in the usual fashion. When I arrived in my third-period AP American History class, however, my teacher received word of the attacks from a colleague in the department. We were offered very few details of the event.
Many students received notes from the main office concerning the status of their loved ones. In the afternoon, several of my fellow students were taken out ofclasses by their parents. It was then that we all came to realize the seriousness of the matter. After-school activities were cancelled for the day, and students walked home swiftly to find out for themselves what had happened. The initial images were overwhelming, especially considering the fact that the World Trade Center had been a fixture in our lives for so many years. One could not drive into Manhattan without seeing the Twin Towers in the skyline. From that day on, however, a void existed in the sky, the skyline was incomplete. For that one day, New Yorkers were plucked from their fast-paced lives, and they served as witnesses to a tragedy that would impact their existence forever. New Yorkers came together, and all we could do was provide comfort to one another.

local church, to the 50 boys from my school cheering on the rescue workers headed down the West Side highway. We didn’t tell anyone to turn their music off, and we did all our math homework. But when I woke up as a Duke freshman on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, I’d soon be furious. One war-tom and complacency-worn year later, it took me an hour and a half to hear someone talk about it. I thought maybe it was shock or awe or fear or the University’s dearth of activities keeping everyone quiet, but I decided by the end of the day that not that many people really cared. As I looked up at the Twin Towers on the oversized skyline mural in my apartment here Saturday, I shuttered to think that we might care even less three years later. I wondered how the country, my college, my city had become more divided than ever before in my lifetime. They had fallen further from the America that wanted to be united so badly than the buildings had from the sky. And I wished everyone around me could remember our darkest day and just hug and listen... and smile. Matt Sullivan is a Trinity junior and News Managing Editor of The Chronicle.

early that morning, 5:45 a.m., to finish my biology homework and listen to my favorite radio show, Jackie and Bender. Nobody else in the house was awake. At 6:10 a.m., Jackie’s celebrity gossip was interrupted on the radio. “Holy crap!” Bender said. “A plane just hit the World Trade Center.” While not the most poignant or respectful exclamation, it certainly captured the shock of the seemingly implausible act. My parents and I sat speechless for several minutes. When I arrived to my first class, half of my classmates had no idea anything was wrong. It was still early—even I usually don’t hear news that early. My first-period teacher taught as if nothing was wrong or different. It was somewhat relaxing to continue with everyday life. An assembly was called and the rest of the morning was spent going from class to class, staring at the news in shock. My friend Lindsey was flying to Boston that morning. Her plane was grounded in a midwest state. I was far away from the incident that day—physically and emotionally. I will never be able to understand what others went through. I only felt the great sadness and complete horror that accompanies such an incident. awoke

Duke University, Durham, N.C.: There was something peculiar about the kids on the East-West bus the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. I was heading back to East Campus after my 9:10 on Science Drive and it seemed as if too many students with New York accents were hunched over their cell phones, speaking in tones far too alert for that time of day. I still had no clue what had just happened. Although that quickly changed once I got to my dorm and watched the planes crash into the Twin Towers over and over on CNN, it took me substantially longer to truly internalize what had just happened. Terrorist attacks were things that occurred in remote places like Kenya and Tanzania—places far far away from here, I thought. Later that evening, our dorm held a candlelight vigil for the victims of the attacks and it was only then, that the the significance of the tragedy truly began to hit home. Students I knew received calls on their cells phones in the middle of class from family frantically trying to

of the attacks.
reach them. A girl in my dorm couldn’t find her father for days after the attack. One of my neighbor’s high school classmates was on the
Pennsylvania flight. Liana Wyler
Bethesda, Md.: Like thousands of students across the country, I first heard of the Sept. 11 attacks between classes. As kids growing up outside Washington, D.C., where the local news is also national and international news, we knew it was something big. We watched the towers fall as we sat in
fourth period, unable to do anything but gape at the horror. But it didn’t really hit home until they hit the Pentagon. That was in our backyard; some students had parents who worked there. Even more frightening was the realization that we were just outside the nation’s capital, and most of our parents worked downtown—many in federal government buildings. Suddenly everyone we knew was crammed into the little newspaper office, using our phone to try and call their parents. There were reports of car bombs downtown, which were thankfully just rumors, and as we left school early that day we could hear the helicopters and airplanes circling above. The federal government was shutting down in panic, and we didn’t know what to do. For the first time, many of us realized that our government, which employed so many kids’ parents, was truly the object of some people’s hatred. That was the scariest thing of all: Our government couldn’t protect us from something like this. Karen Hauptman New York, N.Y.: We were far enough from any likely targets to really fear for our own lines. There were murmurs on campus that eight planes were still unaccounted for. We couldn’t go home that night. We all packed the homes of our few friends who lived outside Manhattan. We didn’t know when we would be able to go back, at that point we didn’t know what else might be hit. That was the kind of day it was. Almost from the beginning I knew this would change
everything.
