An 11-word informal contract set into motion the future

of Duke Medicine. ‘You have been elected." Delighted with prospect of working with you,” stated a telegram sent by former President William Few Jan. 21,1927, to Dr. Wilbert Davison, the first dean of Duke Hospital and the School ofMedicine. Although several of the details of Davis’ hiring—a salary of $ll,OOO per year and a starting date in September 1927, among

others—were decided upon in a previous meeting between the two

correspondents, University

lore holds that this was the extent of the formal contract. “To those who insist on contracts and written terms, this informality may seem amazing,” Davison wrote in Davison of Duke: His Reminiscences. “But I found that they were superfluous when dealing with the administration ofDuke University.” The Duke University Health System celebrates the 75th anniversary of Duke Medicine

Former Duke President Nan Keohane was widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading university presidents. She was also among the top-50 highest-paid university executives in Fiscal Year 2004, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The publication released a database this week detailing the compensations of the top officials at institutions of higher learning. According to the database, Keohane earned $555,613 in total compensation during FY 2004. Her total pay included $45,613 in benefits and $2,786 in expense reimbursements. Five other university presidents were paid more than $1 million in earnings during FY 2004. Donald Ross —the retired president of Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. —topped the list with more than $5 million in total compensation, $4.5 million of which came from deferred compensation accrued over a year. John Bumess, senior vice president for public and government relations, said he recognizes the challenges posed by running a university and said manyof the officials’ compensations are consistent with the expected responsibilities associated with the post. “The president of a university

In her final year as president, however, Keohane was the University’s fifth highest-paid official. Men’s head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski topped the list in FY 2004, netting more than $1.48 million. Burness said Keohane could have argued for a much higher salary but opted to self-impose a cap on her annual earnings—often going against tfm views of several members of the Board of Trustees. The Board analyzes and compares the compensations of“likeminded officials in similar institutions” when deciding what to pay an employee, Bumess explained. Keohane believed that there should be a reasonable ratio between the lowest-paid employee at Duke and the highest, he said. “Nan actually didn’t know what she was paid,” he said.

Agreement on Gaza border reached by

Anne Gearan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice played the heavy on Tuesday to help seal a deal that was eluding Israelis and Palestinians and clouding a hopeful moment for Mideast peace. The agreement that Rice announced on opening Gaza’s borders also tested her willingness to lay personal prestige on the line for a bargain that might not hold. President George W. Bush said the deal made “important progress” toward achieving a lasting peace on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. “The freedom movement, the democra-

cy movement has got a very good chance of taking hold in the Middle East, in the holy land,” Bush said while traveling in Japan. “As it does, it is more likely that we’ll be able to achieve the peace that we all want.” During all-night negotiations in a Jerusalem hotel suite named for slain Israeli peacemaker Yitzhak Rabin, Rice let both sides know she wasn’t leaving without agreement on questions that arose from Israel’s decision to end three decades of military occupation in the Gaza strip. • In three previous trips to Jerusalem and the Palestinian headquarters in the West Bank, Rice had preferred to at least give the appearance that the United States was

in the back seat as Israel and the Palestinians contemplated a Gaza Strip emptied of Jewish settlements and run by Palestinians. This time, she rearranged her schedule, staying an extra night in Jerusalem, to apply pressure. Instead of the airy rhetoric she often uses about the promise of democracy and self-rule, Rice talked about details like bus convoys, truck inspections and video monitors. “Whenever you get to a place where you’re pretty close—not there but pretty close—you’re best off to try to close it when you can,” Rice said.

Senate calls for Iraq withdrawal plan by

Liz Sodoti

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mindful that the WASHINGTON Iraq war is growing increasingly unpopular, the Senate is calling for 2006 to be a period of significant political and military transition in Iraq that will create conditions for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops. The GOP-controlled chamber was voting Tuesday on a pair of proposals—one Republican and one Democratic —that tell President George W. Bush what the Senate believes the U.S. diplomatic and military policy on Iraq should be.

Whichever proposal prevails will be added to a defense bill the Senate is hoping to complete work on as early as Tuesday. The bill includes provisions that, taken together, mark an effort by Congress to rein in some of the wide authority lawmakers gave the president following the Sept. 11, 2001, insurgent attacks. For instance, the measure includes language imposing restrictions on the treatment of foreign detainees and requiring details on purportedly secret CIA prisons overseas. A bipartisan group of senators reached a compromise Monday that would allow

detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,

appeal the rulings of U.S. military tribunals to the federal courts. Detainees who receive a punishment of 10 years in prison or more or death would get an automatic appeal to the federal appeals court in Washington. Detainees with lesser sentences still could petition the court to hear their cases. And the 500 or so detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba would be allowed to challenge in federal court the procedure under which they were labeled “enemy combatants.” The Senate was voting on the compromise provision Tuesday.

FBI agents arrested a woman Tuesday who was suspected of robbing four banks in suburban Virginia while appearing to be talking on a cell phone. Candice R. Martinez, 19, was arrested just before 4 a.m. at a home in nearby Centreville,Va.

Duke employee joins ranks of City Council Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

Amid all the incumbent victories in last week’s municipal election, newcomer Mike Woodard, Trinity ‘Bl and a Duke administrator in financial services, emerged as the only new face elected to Durham office. “Personally, it’s an exciting time to be involved in city government,” he said. With his successful bid for City Council, Woodard will replace Ward 3 incumbent John Best, Jr. after garnering approximately 73 percent of the vote. “Obviously his record is a lot more liberal than mine,” Best said, adding that Durham citizens tend to lean ideologically to the left. Best also cited negative press coverage as a reason for his loss. “This election was more of a negative

toward me instead of a positive toward him,” he said. Although it is his first time elected to higher municipal office, Woodard has served the community in various leadership roles since coming to Durham more than 20 years ago. Woodard has worked as the president or director of several state and local organizations, including the Durham InterNeighborhood Council and the North Carolina Jaycees. “I’ve been very active in the Durham community for a number of years now,” he said. “I’ve seen the great opportunities and some of the challenges that face Durham, and I’ve been very active in helping to meet those opportunities.” A native of Charleston, 5.C.,, Woodard first came to Durham to study economics and political science at Duke. After his graduation in 1981, he chose to stay in the Bull City when he received an offer to work at his alma mater. “I had a job offer to stay at Duke, but there have been times over the years when I was offered a job [elsewhere] and decided to stay,” he said. Currently, Woodard works in the Financial Services Division on the implementation of differentfinancial and administrative systems. He said he intends to continue in his position at Duke while working as a public servant on the City Council something he said would not have been possible were it not for the support of his employer. “They’ve been very supportive in giving me flexibility,” Woodard said of the University. Woodard is not the first Duke employee to venture into the Durham political scene. As the city’s largest employer, Duke —

Christina Patsiokas THE CHRONICLE

Cable 13 is making a comeback.

Throughout the semester, Station Chair Lawrence Gan, a senior, and his production board have been working to

revamp the network and restore it to its former glory. “Cable 13 was the first student-run TV station in the country and the largest at one point,” said sophomore Justin Mahood, Cable 13 co-production manager. The station used to air several popular, student-produced shows. Since the mid-19905, however, the station has fallen by the wayside. “Most people I speak with don’t even realize that Duke has its own broadcasting station,” Gan said. Former prestige is something the current board members are looking to recapture. Two men’s basketball exhibition games have already been broadcast on Cable 13,

and a top ten music video show airs Thursday nights^ “We probably have the most active board since 1995,” Gan said. The current board recently discovered that Cable 13 is already licensed to play music videos, a contract for which they thought they would have to pay. The license is from BMI, an American

performing rights organization.

Gan said Duke’s radio station WXDU

bought the license, and Cable 13 learned

only this year that they were able to use the music videos offered through the license. Also in production is a quiz show featuring pop-culture type questions. “It’s sort of a mix of Jeopardy! and Double Dare,” Mahood said. “We’re also looking to have a faculty guest for the final round of each show.” Some of the other projects Cable 13 SEE CABLE 13 ON PAGE 8

by Tony Tu THE CHRONICLE

Through recent findings, scientists are beginning to unravel the mystery behind humans’ perceptions of time. Two Duke neuroscientists have proposed a theory of how human brains track time in the seconds to minutes range—called interval timing—that enables individuals to pursue everyday activities ranging from conversations to sports. The findings were published in the October issue of Nature Reviews Neuroscience, a prominent science journal. In their paper, co-authors Catalin Buhusi, assistant research professor at the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and Genomics, and Warren Meek, professor of psychological and brain sciences, challenge the traditional view of how brains perceive time. Buhusi, an expert in neural network modeling and computer simulations, was a post-doctoral student of Meek, who is an expert in the neuropharmacology of timing and time perception. “Collaboration is really a keyword here,” Buhusi said. The two partners are presenting their new model at this week’s annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Washington, D.C. The new findings replace a view of the brain originally proposed by Meek. For decades, the neuroscience community believed that the brain follows time in a regular fashion, much like the ticking of a clock or the

Officials say the beneficiaries need to think about signing up—but not necessarily to decide right away which drug plan

A new study conducted by two Duke neuroscientists offers a findings on how human brains track time using neurons.

beating of a metronome. Timing was thought to arise from regular neural impulses counted by a part of the brain that converted the number of pulses into a perception of time. A hundred pulses, for example, might be equivalent to a minute. Meek, co-author of the original

“pacemaker-accumulator” model, based his theory on what is currendy considered a limited understanding of the neural mechanisms of timing. “We didn’t have the ability to create ‘knock-out’ mice with specific mutations or perform ensemble recording in multiple brain areas in order to test our ideas about how the interval

clock worked in behaving animals,” he said. “Much of the model was only hypothetical in order to guide future neurobiological research.” Counting pulses to tell time seems simple. Meek’s original model, however, has been challenged by an accumulating body of evidence suggesting that time is perception widespread throughout the brain. Instead, brains track time differendy depending on the situation, Buhusi said. According to the new theory, called the striatal beat-frequency model, the brain is not a single timerbut is instead composed of millions of smaller timers—each

with a regular oscillating pulse. Neurons in the striatum, an area near the center of the brain, integrate these individual pulses in order to tell time. Buhusi likened each neuron to a single instrument playing in an orchestra. ‘You have each instrument doing its own thing, and you have to put everything together into a unified pattern in order to generate music,” he said. The striatum would then act as the conductor, synchronizing the beats from every neuron. Having this level of complexity affords the brain the flexibility needed to alter perceptions of SEE BRAIN ON PAGE 9

Local activists and officials said the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund agreed to award a $l.l million grant to Durham County to subsidize its purchase of two tracts of land at the edge of Duke Forest. The grant would supply $1 million to buy a 43-acre plot of the Duke-owned at the corner of Erwin and Pickett Roads and $112,000 for a 23-acre tract owned by Wade and Carolyn Penny. For a time, the land was slated to become the site of a townhouse development, but community activists rallied against that plan and encouraged elected officials to block the project.

layed the housing project until four local governments, the neighbors and a regional conservation group to come together and pledge money to buy the property.

The four governments involved are Durham County, the City of Durham, Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill. The $1 million from the grant will offset most of the contributions from local governments. Durham county would likely get $500,000, and all four will share the rest.

North Carolina should consider decriminalizing illegal drugs, a former state Supreme Court chief justice said Monday. Burley Mitchell, the state’s top judge from 1995 to 1999 told a Raleigh luncheon crowd interested in drug reform that the war on drugs in North Carolina and nationwide has been “a total failure,” and money would be saved if police no longer made arrests and courts didn’t hand out sentences for drug-related crimes. The money saved could be used to treat drug addicts, he said. Decriminalizing drug offenses would give some relief to state’s crowded prisons. As of Monday 36, 978 people are serving time in North Carolina prisons. About

5,400 prisoners are serving drug offenses.

Water use decreases, more cuts wanted Water use restrictions in Durham have helped increase conservation, but not as much as officials were hoping when they went into effect eight days ago. Limits on yard irrigation and other measures have trimmed the city’s average daily demand on the Durham water system by 3 to 4 million gallons a day, officials said. That is a reduction of 10 to 13 percent, which is short of the 20 percent reduction target officials set earlier this month. Reservoir levels at Lake Michie and Little River continue to drop.

THE CHRONICLE

The day Dr. Wilbert Davison was appointed dean of Duke Hospital and the School of Medicine in 1927, the search began for books to fill a medical school library. Davison, who oversaw the construction of the first Duke'medical facilities, wrote in Davison of Duke: His Reminiscences that books were more important than buildings, faculty and students—and more difficult to find. “To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea,” Davison wrote, noting this was one of his favorite aphorisms. The Duke Endowment donated $lOO,OOO to purchase the collection. Davison sent lists of other medical schools’ prestigious library collections to book dealers throughout the world. His colleagues, meanwhile, ranked the books on the list under three designations: “N” for necessary, “O” for optional and “U” for useless. Davison’s buyers would purchase “O” and “N” books for at most $3 each. For special exceptions, rare books were purchased for up to $5O. Because no otherinstitution was purchasing large quantities of medical

books, Duke bought many of the texts for substantially less than they would cost otherwise. Duke was able to take advantage of the low prices of medical books in Amsterdam, Paris and London. The cities’ bookshelves were flooded with an excess of supplies because of the post-World War I inflation in Germany. Davison said occasionally an exception was made for a particularly rare book. A frequendy told story is that someone offered Davison Oeuvres Chirurgicales, a surgical book by Ambroise Pare published in 1575. After Davison initially declined the offer, citing the $5O rule, the man replied, “Please send the $50.” The book was worth more than $l,OOO at the time and was one of eight copies in the United States. Thanks to other donations and appropriations, Duke built one of the best medical libraries in the country at that time for about $227,000. It contained more than 20,000 volumes, collected in a fairly short time. And what was the book purchased with the best bargain? Davison said his buyers acquired the complete collection of copies ofLeonardo da Vinci’s drawings—all 28 volumes —in Leipzig, Germany for $250.

I’m graduating early, probably cum laude,” she said. “I think people feel pressured to have one, but not having a computer can definitely be done.” Howe said she even came to appreciate the lack of hassles not having a computer brings—including toting broken or malfunctioning laptops to the Office of Information Technology. “My friends are constantly having to deal with viruses and OIT,” she said. “It almost became over time a sort of pride thing.” “I also felt I would be more productive without one too,” Howe added. “I wouldn’t be wasting time on IM and stuff.” Pratt School of Engineering senior Brooke Rennick views living at Duke without a computer differently. After living at Duke last year without one, Rennick—who recently purchased a computer of her own—appreciates the convenience of having a personal computer as a student. Rennick’s life was made more difficult when computers with Unix, a program used by engineering students, were removed from her local computer cluster. “While computers do provide an extra distraction, I’d much rather have that extra distraction and have a computer,” she said.

“Historically one of the reasons why computer labs exist on campus is for students who don’t have a computer or who are between computers,” Davis said Always having to use the public cluster computers has caused the occasional inconvenience for Howe. “The only time it’s really frustrating is when I go to a computer cluster at like midnight and all the computers are taken,” Howe said. “Mostly by people who I know have a computer at home that they could use. It’s also stressful during high use times, like exams...

Though people all around her own computers, Howe still shrugs off the idea of buying her own. “Just like any sort of technology, if you go a long time with any certain type of thing it’s hard to live without it,” Howe said with a smile. “It’s not like you need it, but it’s easy to become dependent on it, that’s all.”

The gritty details of the border pact that emerged will be a crucial measure of how well Israelis and Palestinians can work together on much bigger questions of war and peace that remain unresolved. Rice brokered the deal even as another top U.S. diplomat in the Mideast was expressing frustration at what he described as Israeli and Palestinian foot-dragging.

the country,” he said. Burness explained that the amount of deferred compensation an official receives is “a function of the individual arrangements with an institution.” The highest-paid government employees of many states tend to be officials at public universities, Bumess added. The Chronicle of Higher Education also noted that some government officials are concerned about whether the high salaries of leaders of colleges and universities—most of which are nonprofit organizations —are warranted. Bumess cited the recent resignation of American University President Benjamin Ladner, who stepped down from his post following an investigation into thousands of his expenses over the past few years. “It’s very hard to understand what they did there could be justified,” Burness noted.

James Wolfensohn, a special Middle East envoy of the international peacemaking group known as the Quartet, had said he was ready to quit after months of negotiations. After the agreement was announced, Wolfensohn said Rice’s presence was key, underscoring how crucial her role will continue to be. “If you are an envoy of the Quartet you have a certain amount of possibilities in negotiations,” Wolfensohn said. “If you are the secretary of state of the United States, I would have to say there is a little more clout associated with it. And to push it over the edge, one needs not envoys, but secretaries of state.” Israelis and Palestinians had been unable to agree on control of border crossings in and out of Gaza since Israel’s historic withdrawal in September. Optimism had turned to finger-pointing on both sides.

She also said she makes sure the station does not exceed its Union-funded budget. Currently, however, the greatest challenge for the station and its personnel is not monetary but organizational. “We’re getting one thing off the ground at a time,” Mahood said.

Duke, however, has no immediate plan for adopting the early-action policy, Guttentag said. Since the option is still new, it is difficult to predict the benefits and potential increase in the number of applicants it would produce. “We fill less than 30 percent of our class through early decision, and 90 percent of our applicants choose regular decision,” Guttentag said. “Right now the system we have in place works well for us.” As in years past, all early decision applicants will be notified of their status in mid-December.

Recently re-elected mayor Bill Bell accepted a brief position at the University in the 19905, and countless professors, administrators and their spouses have served on City Council or the County Commissioners in the past. Woodard said his decision to continue his work at Duke while serving on City Council will not pose a conflict of interest, adding that he would excuse himself from matters in which one might exist. “The fact that you’re a Duke employee isn’t necessarily going to govern how you do what you’re going to do,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public and government relations at Duke.

In the recent election, Durham citizens voted to implement eight city development bonds. Woodard said he hopes the bonds will help in job creation. “Our tax base has seen significant growth over the last five to 10 years,” he said. “But I think our challenge is going to be to find ways to expand that to other parts of Durham.”

to details. The striatum offers this level of flexibility by integrating millions of neuronal timers in the brain —something a single timer could not do. But external influences, such as alcohol and cocaine, can also alter time perception. In patients with Parkinson’s disease, decreases in dopamine levels can also cause distorted time perception. Although the significance of these find-

ings for health care is undetermined, some clinicians believe that interval timing can be used to diagnose early stages of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s and Parkinson’s, with the hope of early intervention. In such tests, patients would be asked to complete interval-timing tasks, with doctors monitoring their performance. Eventually, such technology could indicate whether patients are having difficulties with the timing of tasks, which might implicate a neurological disorder. Researchers are optimistic that their findings will have an important impact for both basic and applied sciences. “our model is really an attempt to put everything together,” Buhusi said. “This is an example ofresearch in the 21st century.”

Every day as he walks from the team’s locker room in the Yoh Football Center to the turf practice field behind Wallace Wade Stadium, senior safety Brian Greene is reminded oflast year’s seasonending 40-17 loss to North Carolina. On the track surrounding the stadium are remnants of the Carolina Blue spray paint that the Tar Heels used to color the base of the Victory Bell after their re-

Are you serious? After you picked Duke to roll through the season and easily win the program's fourth national title, the team laid an absolute stinker on opening night. Were you at the game? Did you even watch it? You have to be concerned about the way the Blue Devils played. Do you actually feel good about Duke beating Boston University by just 17? The Blue Devils made the Terriers look like the Boston Celtics. Just imagine what Texas will do to Duke if it continues to look this bad. Are you done? Sure. 1-0—not “1-but-it-looked-bad-and-

motto.

So Duke’s offense didn’t look great. Their defense didn’t look great. Their special teams wouldn’t have looked great if basketball squads had special teams. Even the Cameron Crazies weren’t great; BU head coach Dennis Wolff did a good job keeping them out of the game (But if we’re being honest, the NIT Season Tip-Off ticketing rules did the best job of actually keeping them out of the game). But negatives are so, um, negative. The Train always focuses on the positives. Like Wojo’s return and “The Human Emotional Highlight Reel” proving to the nation that he is a true slam dunk

champion. Like the Davidson brothers, who, though they didn’t suit up for the game, were dressed impeccably (and almost identically) on the sidelines; Mrs. Davidson must have been proud.

Coach K was even in mid-season form with the referees—Duke shot 26 free throws; the Terriers shot four. And Sean Dockery is continually transforming, in front of our eyes, into a Blue Devil clutch legend. Think about it.

team that finished just 12-16 last season and was ranked second-to-last in the Big East preseason poll, the Blue Devils will have a second chance to prove their offense is as good as its preseason hype. “We were a little anxious today, just trying to get our shots up, but we got a win today,” senior Sean Dockery said after his team’s 64-47 win Monday. “We’ve got a lot to learn, we’ve got a lot to work on.” During the preseason, Duke used its blend of veterans and talented freshmen to destroy the competition.

A season before the Blue Devils’ surprising 30-22 upset win in Chapel Hill in 2003, the Tar Heels celebrated their last-second 23-21 victory at Duke by running into a 25-foot inflatable Blue Devil helmet at the open end of the stadium. The helmet deflated, and Duke players cried foul about the disrespect their rivals had shown them. “Both times that they’ve beat us there’s been some type of in-your-face, disrespectful show,” Greene said. “It’s definitely something that I don’t see as respectful, and it’s going to be our job to gain some respect on Saturday.”

HOME GAMES ARE IN BOLD

It takes 90 minutes to win a soccer game and 30 seconds to lose one. That’s the mentality Duke is attempting to bring into the NCAA Tournament, head coach John Rennie said. A loss and the sixthseeded Blue Devils are done; a win and they are that much closer to bringing home their second national title and first since 1986. Entering the postseason averaging almost 2.5 goals per game and suffering only one shutout loss all season, Duke (12-4-3) is not overly worried about its offensive output. Instead, the Blue Devils will rely on their defense as they prepare to face off against the best teams in the country. Although the squad’s statistics show a nearly impervious defensive unit, one that has allowed little more than a goal per game and has recorded shutouts in nine out of its 19 games, one lingering flaw remains—of the 22 goals scored on Duke this season, 20 have come following intermission. In particular, the Blue Devils had 1-0 halftime leads against both St. John’s Sept. 11 and first-

seeded Maryland Oct. 7, only to surrender four and three unanswered goals, respectively. “Early in the season we had a new defense and a new goalkeeper,” Rennie said. “We were playing a new system. Our defense was inconsistent, it just happened for whatever reason that we gave up some goals late in games.” Since a late-goal loss to Virginia Oct. 16, however, Duke has allowed just six goals in seven games. Crucial Devils’ recent success to has been the play of goalkeeper Justin Papadakis, who has recorded four shutouts in the team’s last seven games. During this stretch, Rennie said the sophomore is beginning to assert himself as one of the best goalies in the conference. “He was an understudy last year and got some experience there,” Rennie added. “But he really started in the spring last year with the opportunity to win the starting job and he did that, and he did that we11....

Riding a three-game winning streak into Winston-Salem, the Duke volleyball team rallied to beat Wake Forest, 3-1, Tuesday. The loss snapped the Demon Deacons’ seven-game home winning streak The Blue DevDUKE £_ ils (19-7, 13-5 in the ACC) came *| WAKE back to win the final three games of the match after dropping the first game 30-13 and being held to a .000 hitting percentage. “Our service-receive really broke down in the first game and we weren’t being consistent,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We weren’t pursuing balls like we needed to or reacting to what was happening on the court. We were just kind of frozen.” Duke did not capture its first lead over Wake Forest (16-11, 9-9) until a block assist by outside hitter Sarah Salem and middle blocker Jourdan Norman gave the Blue Devils a 10-9 advantage in Game 2. The Blue Devils went on to take the second game, 30-24, led by Norman and middle blocker Samantha Fisher, who each notched five kills in the game. “In Game 2, we started to serve-receive a lot better, which allowed us to get our offense going,” Nagel said. “Once that happened, we were able to establish our blocking game, which helped us keep more balls in play.” The Blue Devils were paced by setter Ali Hausfeld, who had a match-high 62 assists

and middle blocker Carrie DeMange, who posted her 18th double-double of the season, with 17 kills and 13 digs. Nagel, however, was quick to point out the importance of the team’s effort as a whole. “We had some great individual performances, but all of us can’t do what we need to do without the help of somebody else,” she said. “That’s what it’s all about, coming together as a team and making everything happen for ourselves.” After taking the third game 30-23, Duke found itself trailing the Demon Deacons by as many as six in the fourth. But after closing the gap to one at 23-22, the Blue Devils went on an 8-2 run to clinch the game, 3025, and end the match. DeMange recorded kills on three of Duke’s final eight points, to fuel the Blue Devils’ comeback. “I’m encouraged by what I saw tonight,” Nagel said. “After really not playing up to our capabilities in Game 1, we could have just thrown in the towel—but we didn’t. We hung in there point for point, focusing on each play, and came away with a win.” The Blue Devils, who have won nine of their last 11 matches to move into a tie for third in the ACC, need to continue to focus on each point and each game, Nagel said. “Our team is really trying to focus on the next match ahead, we’re not looking beyond that or back at what we’ve done so far,” she said. “The most important match is the match that’s next.”

CELEBRATION from page 11 In 2003, then-interim head coach Ted Roof began film sessions leading up to the UNC game with a clip of the Tar Heels’ stomping down the helmet. In the past, Roof has used other motivational tactics, such as T-shirts emblazoned with a motto, to sharpen his team’s mindset entering into the rivalry game. With a bye week in between the Nov. 5 loss at Clemson and this Saturday’s matchup in Chapel Hill, Roof said he has yet to employ a bold motivational symbol for this year’s game but has not ruled one out. Instead of just building up emotions for the North Carolina game, the Blue Devils spent their bye week getting injured players much-needed rest and returning the rest of the team to hard-hitting drills.

Papadakis made two key saves injthe penalty kick shootout to help the Blue Devils secure their first ACC crown since 1999. While Duke has struggled at times to adjust to its new defensive strategy, the leadership provided by the team’s experienced players has been vital in shortening the learning curve for the new starters. Despite his young age, sophomore defender Tim Jepson has emerged as a leader in the back. As one of only four players to start every game last year, Jepson’s maturity has helped to ease the transition to the starting lineup for Duke’s three new defensive additions Papadakis, freshman Darrius Barnes and junior Ryan Pascioni. “Last year gave me the experience,” Jepson said. “The players and coaches look at me as a leader back there. I’ve got a lot more confidence and accepted the role that I’m in as far as being a leader.” The defense has certainly begun to find its rhythm, Rennie said, as all the pieces to the puzzle are finally coming together. And with the NCAA tournament looming ahead next week, the defense will need to continue its recent hot streak if Duke wishes to return to the College Cup. “We really understand better how each of us plays,” saidJepson, who has played the second most minutes on the team behind Papadakis this year. ‘Just the concept of being one. Defense is just about being close-knit.” —

Remember the “Gone in 54 Seconds” game? That killed me. I almost didn’t recover.) Chris Duhon was like that too. If he took a three in a big situation, it was going in. But Duhon also knew how to run a team. He knew when to throw the lob for an alley-oop, when to look for his own shot, and even when to slap the floor. Dockery is becoming Duhon. Check out his stat line from Duke’s win over the Terriers. Dockery was 2-for4 from three, and scored seven points. He played his trademark tight defense and knew the right moment to pump up the Cameron crowd. Each three came in a big situation, and when the ball left his hands, you knew—just knew somehow—that it was going in. You’re talking about Sean Dockery, right?

dents who are ready and eager to learn. While Brodhead’s consideration for other institutions of higher learning is certainly valid, Duke also has a responsibility to its students. And right now, the 12 freshmen are Duke students. They have been a part of this community only a few days less than every other freshman here. They have gone to class, joined extracurricular activities and built friendships. But unless Duke is willing to make a one-time exception to its transfer policy, they will not be students much longer. DSG’s request is simple and by no means extreme. Simply allow them to apply to Duke. The current transfer policy requires applicants to complete two full semesters of credit at another institution before seeking admission. The request is that these 12 students be allowed to use their performance at Duke as the basis of their transfer applications,

even though they do not have the two full semesters of credit. These freshmen should be allowed to apply to the school they have been attending for as long as they have been in college. This is no guarantee that they will be admitted. A policy change would offer them the chance to consider it. Their applications would be considered with the rest of the transfer applicants. In no way would this be automatic admission for the freshmen. The pools of transfer applicants are very competitive. Adding a handful of additional freshmen would make this year’s pool even more intense. But if these students can do the work at Duke, then shouldn’t they have the chance to gain admission? If these students are not given the option to stay, they will surely be fine. They will return to their original colleges and start over, just like all the other freshmen at those schools. But shouldn’t they have a choice?

Skeletons in GPSC’s closet?

functioning. That means having stu-

ABSTRACT:

The purpose of this study was to detect any skeletons in the closet of the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC). No recent scandals were identified, but difficulties have dogged GPSC in the past. The current GPSC administration should keep these difficulties in mind as it continues serving the interests of graduate and professional (G&P) students. INTRODUCmTION: When I was preeti aroon originally selected to be a columaim for the stars nist for The Chronicle, I was instructed to cover GPSC and attend all its meetings. I was to watchdog this governance body for any evidence of mismanagement, lack of effectiveness, embezzlement or other “bad things.” To my disappointment, GPSC seemed to be a competently run entity. I wasn’t stumbling upon any scandals or malfeasance that could form the substance for a juicy expose column. But, we all have skeletons in our closets, don’t we? What secrets may lurk in GPSC’s past? And, might there be any clues from recent history that would suggest where to look for present-day scandal? To answer these questions, I conducted a study. Yes, a study. METHODOLOGY;

To look for skeletons in GPSC’s closet, I searched the online archives of The Chronicle. Using the search term “GPSC,” I generated a list of the last 200 articles (including editorial pieces) that contained the acronym GPSC. Using the headlines of the articles, I created an Excel spreadsheet that grouped them into categories based on their content. In instances where the headline did not immediately suggest what the article was about, I scanned the text. I hoped that some of the categories into which I could group the articles would include: “scandal,” “corruption,” “resignation” and “basketball-ticket lottery rigging.” RESULTS: The 200 articles I examined from the archives dated from Nov. 9, 2005 all the way back to the last millennium—Oct. 20, 1999. Of these articles, the top five topics they covered are listed in Table 1. Table 1: What the Last 200 GPSC Articles in The Chronicle Are About Graduate Student Life —20 articles Young Trustee Position—l 9 articles Health Insurance—17 articles

Parking—l 6 articles Campout/Athletic Ticket Distribution—ls articles When it came to any evidence of “bad things,” I identified the following categories: Table 2: GPSC Articles Containing “Bad Things” Disagreements between GPSC and The Chronicle’s editorial board—7 articles Eric Phifer Scandal—3 articles I would have done a linear regression analysis and tested for heteroskedasticity, but that would have involved, we11...1ike..., work. DISCUSSION: When it comes to the topics covered in the GPSC articles, four noteworthy findings are: 1. Articles about the need to promote graduate student life dropped precipitously after the 20022003 academic year. Could the 2003 launch of GPSCNews, the weekly email sent to G&P students about upcoming events, account for this drop? Participation at GPSC-sponsored events is said to have skyrocketed after the advent of GPSCNews, according to GPSC officials. 2. Concerns about the cost of health insurance became more salient only during the last academic year. With the recent announcement that health insurance for doctoral students will be subsidized via an increase in stipends, health insurance may decline in importance, although coverage for spouses and children could certainly remain on the table. 3. In 2001 and 2002, The Chronicle’s editorial board and GPSC (via letters to the editor) duked it out over purported underrepresentation of professional students within GPSC and the perception that GPSC does little on behalf of G&P students. 4. SCANDALOUS FINDING: The juiciest finding was that past GPSC president Eric Phifer suspended meetings from late January to early March of 1999. He was supposedly upset that he wasn’t selected to be a Young Trustee finalist. He claimed that the selection process was corrupted by a two-line e-mail calling him a “dork,” which was sent to the GPSC executive committee. Then, when he finally permitted a meeting on March 2, he closed it off to all people, including The Chronicle’s reporters. CONCLUSION: Coverage of GPSC in The Chronicle does not reveal any recent malfeasance. As a governance body, however, GPSC should not become complacent. Scandal and difficulties have dogged it in the past, so it should remain vigilant in not repeating past mistakes. In the event that it does, there is a Chronicle columnist ready to write all about it. Preeti Aroon is a graduate student in public policy. Her column runs every other Wednesday.

Academic Freedom Pledge

than when their students argue with them in the classroom. And so, in the spirit of what our discipline does best and cares about most, we submit the following counter-pledge to the Duke Student Body: Students’ Academic Responsibilities Pledge: 1.) I will arrive in class prepared to have my views challenged, and welcome the opportunity to engage with opinions that are new, unfamiliar and perhaps even uncomfortable. 2.) My own personal or political views will not constrain me from learning how to think, nor will I let my fear of receiving a poor grade compromise my intellectual integrity or prevent me from voicing my opinions in a responsible and mature way in the classroom. 3. I recognize that well-thought-out college courses inevitably carry with them some kind of underlying argument, frame or paradigm, and that learning how to critique the premise of a course, a field of study or an academic discipline is as much a part of my education as is the ingestion of the materials on the syllabus. 4. I will conduct myself in a respectful manner in class, will note the difference between a personal attack and a critique of the way in which I have expressed my ideas and will work to ensure that I take responsibility for my own intellectual de-

velopment. 5. Given the significant portion of Duke students, faculty and staff members who bring to this institution perspectives from outside the contemporary U.S. political climate, I will not impose a narrow perspective on the range of political identities and the ways in which those identities are defined upon the intellectual community of which I am a part. 6. I recognize that there is a difference between a student and a consumer. Further, a Duke diploma and GPA is more than simply a ticket to graduate or professional school, a prestigious internship or a well-paying job after graduation. I will work hard to avoid expressing a sense of entitlement to a good grade, an easy answer, or a “safe” edu-

-I will support intellectual tolerance and diversity in my classroom and welcome a plurality of views. -My own personal political and philosophical beliefs will not bias the grading or treatment of my students. -I will conduct my class for the purpose of educating students in the area of my professional expertise and will not use my classroom to advance political or social agendas.

-I will act to ensure that students with dissenting viewpoints are respected in my classroom. cation. Instead, I view my time at Duke first and foremost as a commitment to the development ofmy mind. We get a chuckle or two out of the above items, but we recognize that others will find them silly, if not downright offensive. We are well aware of our responsibilities as students, they may say. There is no need for us to confirm in writing that grades aren’t everything, that we need to voice (and test) our beliefs in class and not just articulate what we think the professor wants to hear, that we need to keep open minds ifwe expect to learn. Perhaps some students, some of the time, forget these basic truths, but most of us don’t; we’re too smart and too good for that, and we’ve worked too hard to get here in the first place. We’re well aware that with freedom comes responsibility. Why do you need us to sign a piece of paper saying so? Professors, lecturers and graduate instructors feel the same way. Anne Gulick and Katie McClancy are graduate students in the English department.
