THE CHRONICLE

A standing ovation, amplified for many by a year’s worth of tension and waiting, met the apology to the lacrosse players and their families President Richard Brodhead delivered Saturday at the School ofLaw. Brodhead’s remarks made up just 15 minutes of a two-day conference called “The Court of Public Opinion: The Practice and Ethics of Trying Cases in the Media.” But for some, his words were perhaps the most significant of the entire event. Brodhead’s original involvement in the conference had been canceled, and he was not expected to be a part of the programming until a month ago, when he asked to speak after the lacrosse panel, said Kathryn Bradley, senior lecturing fellow analysis at the School ofLaw and chair of the conference steering committee “Although the conference was planned without [his address], I think it was exacdy the right place and the right time,” she said. Others, however, said although the conference may have set an appropriate tone, the timing was off. “I thought it was appropriate that President Brodhead would apologize for the failure of the leadership, but it was well over a year late,” Jay Bilas, Trinity ’B6 and Law ’92, told The Chronicle Sunday. Bilas wrote a letter in June to the editor of Duke Magazine, Robert Bliwise, which recently appeared on the magazine’s Web site. The letter called for the resignation of both Brodhead and the chair of the Board of Trustees, Robert Steel, Trinity ’73. “The vast majority of his words and actions, and in many cases his silence, emphasized an aura of guilt of the students and of the University,” the letter reads. “From the beginning, President Brodhead abdicated his responsibility as Duke’s leader to stand up for fairness and truth.” But John Burness, vice president for government

Standing behind a podium in a packed auditorium at the School ofLaw Saturday, President Richard Brodhead issued an apology to members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team and their families in his first public statement on the lacrosse case since the disbarment and resignation of former Durham district attorney Mike Nifong. “First and foremost, I regret our failure to reach out to the lacrosse players and their families in this time of extraordinary peril,” Brodhead said. “Given the complexities of the case, getting this communication right would never have been easy. But the fact is that we did not get it right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they most needed support. This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it, and I apologize.” Brodhead added that the administration will review the decisions made during the handling of the lacrosse case. He said, however, that questions regarding how a university should act when its students are accused of a crime are questions that Duke “neither can nor should resolve by itself.” In an effort to prevent a similar situation from repeating itself, Brodhead said Duke will host a national conference of educators, lawyers and student affairs leaders to discuss how such situations should be handled. Brodhead’s apology was one part of a two-day-long conference at the School ofLaw titled “The Court of Public Opinion: The Practice and Ethics of Trying Cases in the Media,” which focused on the role that media and public scrutiny played in high-profile cases like the lacrosse case. In a roundtable panel titled “A Conversation: Living Through Lacrosse,” professors, administrators and media members discussed

Rebels overrun AU peacekeepers by

Alfred de Montesquiou THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HASKANITA, Sudan Rebel forces stormed a small African Union base in northern Darfur and killed at least 10 peacekeepers, leaving behind charred armored vehicles and bombed out barracks in an unprecedented attack on the beleaguered mission that threatened upcoming peace talks. More than 30 peacekeepers were still missing by late Sunday, indicating the death toll from the attack could rise significantly. About 1,000 rebels from the Sudan Liberation Army attacked the base outside the town of Haskanita Saturday after sunset when Muslims break their daytime fast for

the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, AU officers told The Associated Press Sunday at the scene of the attack. The rebels eventually stormed the base early Sunday, they said. “We batded for hours, but when we ran out of ammunition, we took refuge in this ditch,” said a Nigerian peacekeeper who would only give his first name, Aboubakar, because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He showed a corner of the camp riddled with bullet marks and mortar holes where the AU troops mounted their resistance. Some of the surviving peacekeepers appeared shellshocked and said it was difficult to describe the intensity of the onslaught.

The rebels used armored vehicles and

rocket-propelled grenades, an indication that they are more heavily armed than previously believed, peacekeepers said. The AU troops said they initially repelled the assailants. But the rebels eventually overran the camp at around 4 a.m., peacekeepers said as they recovered from the fighting. The Sudanese army routed the rebels early Sunday and the remaining AU peacekeepers were evacuated under the protection of the army. By afternoon, some government troops could be seen plundering goods from the bumed-out camp as an AU armored vehicle smoldered nearby.

U.S.and Iraqi forces kill insurgents by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD U.S. and Iraqi forces killed more than 60 insurgent and militia fighters in intense batdes over the weekend, with most of the casualties believed to have been al-Qaida fighters, officials said Sunday. The U.S. Embassy, meanwhile, joined a broad swath of Iraqi politicians both Shiite and Sunni in criticizing a nonbinding U.S. Senate resolution seen here as a recipe for splitting the country along sectarian and ethnic lines. U.S. aircraft killed more than 20 al-Qa-

ida in Iraq fighters who opened fire on an American air patrol northwest of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. The firelight between U.S. aircraft and the insurgent fighters occurred Saturday about 17 miles northwest of the capital. The aircraft observed about 25 al-Qaida insurgents carrying AK-47 assault rifles one brandishing a rocket-propelled grenade walking into a palm grove, the military said. “Shortly after spotting the men, the aircraft were fired upon by the insurgent fighters,” it said.

The military did not say what kind of aircraft were involved but the fact that the fighters opened fire suggests they were lowflying Apache helicopters. The command said more than 20 of the group were killed and four vehicles were destroyed. No Iraqi civilians or U.S. soldiers were hurt. “Coalition forces have dealt significant blows to Al-Qaida Iraq in recent months, including the recent killing of the Tunisian head of the foreign fighter network in Iraq and the blows struck in the past 24 hours,” military spokesman Col.

Meredith Mechanik THE CHRONICLE

As the sun set on the historic tobacco warehouses of Brightleaf Square in downtown Durham, the music was Just heating up. As a part of a concert series thatstarted in May, local musicians perform for diners, shoppers and music lovers alike every Friday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The atmosphere was a combination of lawn-chair regulars, happy couples—frequently with children and dog in tow—and celebrating students. Add a keyboard, drum and bass, and Brightleaf Square becomes a new venue for downtown Durham. “[The music] has given a pulse to the heartbeat of Durham,” said lifelong resident D. R. Timberlake. “There’s a good variety of music that attracts a good crosssection of people.”

Past performers have included jazz/ funk band Cafe Mars and R&B musician Skeeter Brandon. Most of the musicians are from the Durham area, emphasizing the sense of community felt at Brightleaf Square. “The live music was so nice. Where I’m from, we don’t have cute little community stuff like that,” freshman Heather Wiese said. “It’s Just nice that people come together. The people around here care so much about the community.” Many people in Durham, from shop owners to music aficionados, agreed that the live music at Brightleaf Square has helped build a sense of community by opening up a new arena for people to come together. “It definitely enhances Brighdeaf Square,” said Barbara Wentworth, the owner of Wentworth and Leggett Rare Books and Prints. “I love music, and we’ve

gotten everything—it’s great. People look forward to it” The shopping area was established in 1981 and is now home to 12 restaurants and 10 retail stores, providing a variety of culinary and shopping options to Durham residents and Duke students. Jennifer Donner, the owner of Dolly’s—a boutique that offers a mix of vintage clothing and accessories—said the music provided a good reason for students to get off campus. “[The music] is so fun for everybody. I’m shocked at how many people come out to listen. I think it’s good for Brightleaf and good for everyone in downtown Durham,” she said. “I think it just lets people get to know Durham.” Some students, however, said they were not aware of the concert series, although SEE BRIGHTLEAF ON PAGE 6

Members of the North Carolina Pride Marching Band perform during the N.C. Pride Parade, whichwended its way through Durham Saturday.

Presidential Review Committee Announcement Since 1982, in addition to annual performance reviews, Duke University has conducted at regular intervals, reviews of the President of the University, the senior officers and deans. The Board of Trustees believes these reviews have been useful for these university leaders and healthy for the university community.

In accordance with established procedures with the Academic Council that mandate a review at the end of the third year of the first fiveyear term, Board of Trustees Chairman Robert K. Steel, in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Board and the Executive Committee of the Academic Council, has charged a committee of trustees and faculty to gather and distill information for the trustees to consider in its review of President Brodhead’s period of service. The committee includes: Trustee Daniel T. Blue, Jr., as chair, Trustees Paula P. Burger, Alan D. Schwartz, and Anthony Vitarelli and Professors Sara Sun Beale, Dennis A. Clements, and Sherman A. James. Chairman Steel has charged the Presidential Review Committee:

to invite and gather information and opinions widely from faculty; administrators, employees, students, alumni friends of the University and leaders in higher education. The review should focus on the effectiveness of the President in leading this complex and ambitious University and in articulating a vision for its future among leading universities. Information may be gathered by mail, email, and through meetings with individuals. The committee is charged with organizing the information and advice it receives and to providing a summary for the Board of Trustees of the information and opinions gathered, including strengths and areas for improvement. ,

The Presidential Review Committee welcomes information from members of the university community. Information provided to the committee will be held in confidence but may be reported without attribution as part of the summary report that will be submitted to the Board of Trustees. If you wish to share your thoughts with members of the committee, please do so by October 29. Presidential Review Committee Duke University Daniel T.

The performers’ outfits varied as much as the music. A performer who identified himself as Erica Daniels, a friend of Walker, did four numbers and had three costume changes, including a purple, sequined bikini with a beaded fringe, taffeta train and matching earrings. Another performer, who called himselfPhalene, Trinity ’O3, said Friday was a great crowd. ‘You need a responsive audience,” said Phalene, whose name means moth. “Otherwise, it’s just boys in dresses.” After a pause, he added, “and girls in pants.” Saturday’s festivities—with the field next to the East Duke building decked out in rainbow banners and pinwheels—were just as colorful. Vendors sold plastic doll art, wooden frogs and sex toys in rows of tents lining the field. The Sower, a statue near the entrance of East Campus, was covered in condoms, and excited attendees of the festival took pictures with a Wonder Woman look-a-like in drag. “I love it—a big gay bomb in the middle of Durham,” said Braxton Simmons, a sophomore at Appalachian State University. Meg Putnam, a senior at Chapel Hill High School and co-president ofher school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, said the event was much larger than she had anticipated. “It’s huge,” she said. “There are so many people out here supporting it.” After mingling among the vendors, festival attendees lined Main Street to cheer on floats and marchers in the parade. On the opposite side of the street, however, over 30 people protested the event. One man with a megaphone described the event as “parading sin,” while others held up signs or distributed fliers. Despite protestors’ attempts to rain on the Pride Parade, the festivities continued. Laughter from the crowd and revving engines of passing vehicles pulling floats drowned out the protestors’ shouts. The weekend encouraged acceptance, said junior Sejin Lim, who performed Friday as the “Spicy Asian.” “I was really worried what my friends would think, but all of them, even the straight ones, were really supportive,” Lim said. “I’d do it again,” he added.

“[The school’s] new home will be a shining example of Duke’s commitment to sustainability while also providing a state-of-the-artfocal point for innovative and interdisciplinary education and research on the environment,” Nicholas School Dean Bill Chameidessaid in a statement In a third project, the Board approved plans to construct a 1,900-space parking garage at the comer of Erwin Road and Research Drive. It will replace a 300-space lot on the same site. In an interview Friday, Board Chair Robert Steel, Trinity ’73, said Trustees were aware of student concerns about the Few Quad renovation preceding changes to Crowell and Craven quadrangles, but decided the Few project was worth doing first. The Trustees also received a report from the Duke Management Company regarding the University endowment’s performance in the fiscal year that ended June 30. DUMAC achieved a 25.6-percent return on investments. The annual return, along with five-year returns of 17.5 percent, placed Duke’s endowment third among the 25 largest U.S. university endowments, according to a University statement. The endowment’s value now stands at $5.9 billion. During the Board’s open session Friday, the Trustees and administrators heard reports from Academic Council Chair Paula McClain, a professor of political science, Duke Student Government President Paul Slattery, a senior, and Graduate and Professional Student Council President Crystal Brown, a third-year law student. McClain spoke about the history of faculty shared governance at Duke and reflected on the hundreds of faculty members involved in some aspect of governance. She also outlined some of the Academic Council’s agenda for the year. Slattery said Duke has an unusual opportunity to effect positive change. “I would like to start... with a common conviction: Duke isn’t broken,” he said. “It doesn’t need to be fixed. It needs—like all universities—to be improved, and I can’t imagine a room full ofindividuals better equipped to improve it.” He used his speech to highlight several issues at the top ofhis agenda for the year, including his initiative to reform undergraduate judicial policies, which was the focus of a memorandumhe sent to the Trustees. Steel said the Board’s Student Affairs Committeewould begin the Trustees’ response to the memo. In her address, Brown focused on the growth in the personal, social, academic and professional spheres of graduate and professional student life. ,

Old-fashioned soda shop to open on Ninth Street BY

COSETTE WONG THE CHRONICLE

Milkshakes to rival Cook Out are on their way to Ninth Street. Ox and Rabbit Soda and Sundries will open this November in the space once occupied by McDonald’s Drug Store, which longtime Durham residents may remember as a place where people used to be able to hang out and sip milkshakes and soda made the old-fashioned way—with syrup and seltzer water. “So many people kept saying such wonderful things about the McDonald’s Drug Store that’d been there for so long,” said Bryan Nickell, a co-owner of the new retail store. “We just thought it would be a fun idea to bring the soda fountain back, but change the drugstore part ofit.” He and co-owner Erin Walker-McMullen hope people ofall ages will be able to come to Ox and Rabbit and find something they like, Nickell added. “We’re trying to hit all different price ranges so that students from Duke or hide kids can come in and find something small,” Walker-McMullen said. “But then we’ll also have things that’ll be a little bit more expensive.” Nickell said the two wanted to take an old-fashioned idea and modernize it. “We’re a little younger than the other store owners on the street and our inventory will reflect that,” he said. “I hope it’ll speak to Duke students.” Some freshmen said they find the new option offEast Campus an attractive alternative to the husde and busde of the Marketplace. “It’d be nice to have a place to sit down and relax,” said Kelsey Bandeen, a freshman. Sophomore Kaidin Atkinson added she thinks the idea of a soda fountain is quaint.

He added that he remembers his grandmother taking him to the Ninth Street store for special treats. “The big deal was going into the McDonald’s and getting a cherry Coke,” Gable

said. “That was a good drink.” Nickell said he plans to invite kids behind the counter to mix drinks just as Mrs. McDonald did for him, but added that he thinks Ox and Rabbit will have a much different atmosphere than McDonald’s did. “It’s kind of a new twist on an old idea,” he said. [But] I hope people will connect to it as much as they did [with] McDonald’s.” In addition to a soda fountain, Ox and Rabbit will be stocked with housewares, cards, chocolate, clothing, bath products and baby care items, Walker-McMullen said. “

what it was like living for one year under the public spodight cast on Duke and Durham as a result of the case. The interdisciplinary conference hosted over a dozen events Friday and Saturday, including seven panel discussions. Panelist John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said during the discussion that the media’s coverage of the story was unprecedented. In the month prior to the incident, he said there were approximately 3,400 stories about Duke in the national and international media. In June 2006—three months after the alleged incident—there were over 24,000 stories in circulation. “The media had rushed to stereotype so fast in this case, and it was a case that was a perfect [public-relations] story,” he said. “It combined race, sex, class, privilege [and] the South. From my perspective trying to manage through this, the variable that made this story so powerful in the end was Duke University, which had been on a pedestal for academics. When you’re on a pedestal you can only fall off.” In an interview following the panel discussion, Burness said the national media’s portrayal of the Duke-Durham relationship was blatantly inaccurate. “One of the issues widely misunderstood in this case is that Duke and Durham don’t get along, but they get along pretty damn well,” he said. “Everyone kept saying, ‘Oh this case is going to make Durham explode.’ Well, it didn’t explode, did it? It brought us closer together. But you cannot understate the damage that Mr. Nifong has done to so many people.” Law professor and panelist James Cole-

“The baby stuff we’re going to sell is unique and hip and a little bit more funky,” Nickell said. “We both want to help out artists too, so we’re selling a lot of stuff [bought] directly from the artist or their representative.” Ox and Rabbit’s unusual name was inspired by a song in which a group of people lose everything and have to start over, Walker-McMullen added. “We had some personal experiences a few years ago and this is kind of like a positive starting over, in away, for us,” she said. man said during the panel, however, that the case failed to unite the community. “This is a case that could have been a bridge,” Coleman said. “Instead, I think it has built more of a wall. There’s no understanding, and that’s too bad.... [lt has] made us go back into our camps.” Sergio Quintana, a panel member and local reporter for NBC 17, said the University consistendy had problems communicating with local media about what was going on. “I think the University brought nice language and higher thought to a knife fight,” he said. “There were some really great opportunities to show how this affected the University as a whole. It affected so many different layers—from athletics to the image of the University, to the students themselves, who were concerned for the people who were accused, and now everyone else who has a Duke University degree.” Quintana added that the administration failed to communicate this sentiment to the public, which was left with a one-sided view of what was going on. Lorenzo Lynch, a Durham resident since 1965, said although the conference was informative, public involvement was not prevalent enough in the discussions. “The conference was too much expert testimony and not enough public discussion,” he said. “The public was absent. It’s almost laughable or unbelievable that you could talk about public opinion without public discussion.” In his closing remarks, Brodhead said he hopes the lacrosse case is eventually forgotten and falls out of the attention of the media and public. He added, however, that if it is remembered, people should leant a lesson from it. “Let’s hope it is remembered the right way: as a call to caution in a world where certainty and judgment come much too fast,” he said.

ing today are the opportunity for interdisciplinary study and students having second majors in [Trinity College ofArts and Sciences].” Shannon Hayles, a prospective student from New York, said she came into Pratt In Focus still deciding between civil and mechanical engineering, but started to lean toward mechanical engineering after attending an information panel that discussed the available majors in Pratt. Dolbow said the tours introducing participants to the facilities, which were given by Pratt students, prompted positive feedback from visitors and their parents. Shannon Hannington, a parent of a Pratt In Focus attendee, said she found the lab presentations hosted by Pratt faculty very impressive. “[The professors] were so open to talking, they seemed very enthusiastic [in regard] to teaching,” she said. Though most of the events of the day showcased the academic opportunities available to students, coordinators said they also scheduled a lunch with current Pratt undergraduates to give the prospective students a chance to learn about everyday life in the college. Laura Hoover, a junior in civil and environmental engineering, said Pratt undergraduates gave up their Saturday and volunteered at the program to offer advice to visitors from a current student’s perspective. “I remember what it’s like being in high school and trying to figure out where you want to go, it’s really stressful,” she said. “So, I think it’s really great for them to be able to hear the student’s point of view on it.” After lunch, coordinators hosted a student life and activities fair to showcase the extracurricular options available for Pratt students. Robyn Schwartzman, a prospective biomedical-engineering student from Maryland, said she became interested in the Society ofWomen Engineers and Engineers Without Borders after attending the fair. “The generalities that we saw earlier this morning were good too, but [the fair] helps you get a better focus,” Schwartzman added. Dolbow said she has already started working with coordinators to brainstorm ways to improve the event for next year. “Given the positive feedback about the lab demonstrations, it would be great to provide more time for those,” she said. “I also hope that next year we will be able to show visitors the [Home‘De.potl Smart Home.

Hausfeld breaks record in Duke’s 2 victories by

MadelinePerez THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils went down to Florida hoping to secure their first two ACC road wins. They left with the victories, and more importantly, a new individual record-holder. During the second game against Miami (8-6. 2-3 in the ACC) Sunday, senior Ali Hausfeld set her 5,083rd assist, surpassing the previous all| ' time Duke record 0 FSU held by Kristen Campbell. HausDUKE -3 feld notched 47 total assists over 0 MIAMI the weekend, putting her career total at 5,101. “I would have loved to have broken the record in Cameron,” Hausfeld said. “But doing it today was great. With everyone playing so well, it was definitely symbolic of my career here.” The Blue Devils handily defeated the Hurricanes Sunday, winning 30-25, 30-19, 30-19 for the 3-0 sweep. The win capped off a strong weekend for Duke, which also earned a victory over Florida State Friday night, 30-24, 30-18 and 30-26. Team play was key for the Blue Devils over the weekend. With the setter serving as the anchor for the offense, Duke (10-3. 5-0) had plenty of opportunities to exploit the Hurricanes’ defense. The team definitely took advantage of Miami’s defense, as four Duke players registered double-digit kills. Senior Carrie DeMange and sophomore Rachael Moss tallied 17 kills while Sue Carls and Jourdan Norman each recorded 10. The Blue Devils never faulted through-

out the three-game match, though Duke fought off a strong Hurricanes’ comeback in Game One. After falling behind early

20-12, the Hurricanes bounced back to come within two. The Blue Devils’ offense eventually proved to be too much for Miami to handle, however, with a 5-2 run to end the game. “During Game One, opponents always try to learn what they can do against you,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “They were just trying to stop our strengtiis. When they come out of the gate so strong, especially at home, you just have to match their energy.” With a large crowd attending the match Friday against the Seminoles, Duke got their first taste of a hostile ACC environment this season. Despite the loudFSU fans cheering against the Blue Devils, the team treated the match as business as usual, using its suffocating defense to control the match. After focusing on its blocking in the days preceding the road trip, Duke’s practice seemed to pay off, as the team outblocked FSU 10-5. The Blue Devils also saw improvement in terms of serving, recording only 10 total errors in the two matches. Duke continues its five-game road trip Thursday when it takes on in-state foe N.C. State. Before they get ahead of themselves and start focusing on the next match, Nagel and her team want to make sure they are well-rested despite all their traveling. “It’s going to be a long stretch away from home,” Nagel said. “But looking at our performances, it’s very gratifying, especially with it being a busy time both academically and within our season. But, now, the team can catch their breath and prepare for next weekend.”

Blue Devils best Hokies in thrilling 2-OT finish by

Sabreena Merchant THE CHRONICLE

As she saw her game-winning shot roll into the far post of the goal less than four minutes into double-overtime, Kelly Hathorn was excited, VA.TECH but also incredibly relieved. DUKE 1 After gutting it out with Virginia Tech (4-4-1, 0-2-0 in the ACC) for nearly 104 minutes in a 1-0 win, the Duke forward was just glad to get off of her feet. “Everyone started jumping on top of me, and I was just screaming about my legs,” Hathorn said. “[Christie McDonald] doesn’t even try to hug me, she runs right in, grabs my foot, starts stretching my calf muscles. It was just hysterical. It was a typical Kelly Hathorn celebration.” For the player whois now tiedfor the most Blue Devil scores this season, it’s not just the celebration that’s becoming commonplace. After forward Elisabeth Redmond sent a ball to midfielder Jane Alukonis, Alukonis broke through the defense and played the ball out to the left side of the field, where Hathorn settled it. The junior then ripped the ball into the net to beat the goalie from about eight yards out. Hathorn’s fourth strike of the season ended the 104-minute battle for the Blue Devils (6-2-2, 1-1-0). Hathorn’s goal ended a hard-fought contest between the two teams. The game was incredibly physical, as the Blue Devils and the Hokies combined for 28 fouls. “[Virginia Tech] really brought it to us, but we were ready for it,” Hathorn said. “I think we batded back really well.” Duke gave a strong defensive effort against an attack-minded team, allowing just eight shots, only three of which were on net. GoalieAllison Lipsher made some fantastic saves late in the second half to preserve the shutout and anchor the solid play of the back line. “It’s tough to play against teams like that because they’re always looking to attack and get in behind you, so you have to be really organized,” Lipsher said. “The back

They came out flat in the first halfand struggled to find their rhythm. As the game went on, though, Duke was able to pick up its energy level, and it showed in the stat line, The team took as many shots, five, in the first ten-minute period of overtime as it did in the entire second halfofregulation. MidfielderLorraine Quinn credited the

offensive spurt in overtime to the team’s determination to play its type of game. “We tried as hard as we could to keep [the ball] on the ground and really play our style,” Quinn said. “We had a number of chances—we just finally put one away.” The first and second overtime sessions featured several great scoring opportunities for the Blue Devils. Midfielder Kendall Bradley took advantage of forward Kay-

Anne Gummersall’s absence up front and applied the pressure, putting up two shots in the first extra session, including one ball that bounced off the left post of the goal, But the play of the day belonged to Hathorn. Head coach Robbie Church could only think of one thing after watching die ball go in and the game finally come to an end. “Thank goodness,” Church said. “Thank goodness.”

As a South Florida prep MIAMI, Fla. star, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis was one win shy of a playoff game in the Orange Bowl. But in his first game at the legendary stadium Saturday, Lewis quickly became familiar with

his hometown turf—perhaps too familiar. In a game in which Duke went toe-to-toe with Miami, the Hurricanes’ numerous sacks of Lewis led to large yardage losses in key situations, playing a major role in the Blue Devils’ inability to win for the second time this season. After allowing no sacks in its win over Northwestern and only one in its close loss to Navy, Duke allowed a season-high NOAH PRINCE /THE CHRONICLE nine sacks Saturday for a total loss of 59 yards.

Early in the fourth quarter, Miami, leading 10-7, had the ball at Duke’s 17-yard line and faced third-and-16. Hurricane quarterback Kirby Freeman, who replaced Kyle Wright after the starter suffered a severe mouth injury, threw a pass into the end zone to Darnell Jenkins. Blue Devils safety Adrian Aye-Darko, however, had tight coverage as he reached in front of Jenkins and knocked the ball away. The Miami crowd booed heavily, disappointed at the lack of a call in favor ofits team. Several seconds passed and Duke prepared to send out its field-goal blocking unit when suddenly the back judge, who moments earlier had signaled an incomplete pass, threw a late flag. Pass interference was called on Aye-Darko, infuriating the coaching staff and the Blue Devil players. Roof said he never received an explanation for the call, and several players questioned it. “I don’t want to say it was wrong or right,” Leon Wright said. “It was 30 seconds at least after the play had happened. It was an excellent play by Darko, and I give him all the respect and unfortunately, he didn’t get the call.” Penalty or not, Duke put itself in the position to win another game, but, like last year and last week, it could not.

Maggio takes field for PATs True freshman punter Nick Maggio took over for kickers Joe Surgan and Greg Meyers and performed well in his first collegiate game, nailing a pair of PATs after Duke’s two scores. Maggio was also observed warming up on the sidelines late in the fourth quarter as Duke drove towards a potential game-tying field goal or touchdown, but a strong wind and the distance of a potential 47yard attempt for the relatively untested Maggio led Roof to decide for a fourthdown conversion try instead. Also, none of the walk-on kickers who tried out last week duringpractice traveled with the team to South Florida.

Instead of changing the plan, Duke ran the exact same 3 isolation for DickDUKE inson. This time, BC the junior fielded a pass from LauDUKE ren Miller and BU zipped it into the back of the net, handing the Blue Devils (7-5, 1-2 in the ACC) a 3-2 victory over the Terriers (9-3) Sunday afternoon in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The win was the second of the weekend for Duke, as it also edged No. 10 Boston College 3-2. The triumph over the Eagles (7-3, 1-2) gave the Blue Devils their first ACC victory of the season. “We knew that there was an awful lot riding on this weekend,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “We knew that we had to get a sweep to have a chance to get in the [NCAA] tournament.” Although both contests were close, the win over BU was more climactic. The first half went back-and-forth, with both squads trading scores in the first 30 minutes.

Sender' goalkeeper Caitlin Williams was instrumental for the Blue Devils, recording eight saves after the intermission. In the end though, Dickinson came through in the clutch for Duke. The gamewinner against BU was part of a huge outing for the junior, as she totalled four goals for the weekend. “We came out with more urgency,” Dickinson said. “We maintained intensity for 70 minutes and played better as a unit.” This intensity was especially evident in the Blue Devils’ victory over Boston College. Duke scored in the first two minutes on a goal from freshman Susan Ferger and took a 2-1 lead into halftime. The Blue Devils extended their advantage to 3-1 six minutes into the second period and held on to win despite a two-goal effort from Eagle forward Bob Dirks. For Duke, its start to the second half of the season was substantially better than its beginning to the first. “These games were huge,” Dickinson said. “This was a turning point in the season and gets us ready for next weekend.” This upcoming Saturday presents a huge challenge for the Blue Devils, as defending national champion Maryland visits Williams Field with a 12-0 record, But, with two road wins under its belt, Duke feels up to the task, “We’re finally getting into rhythm,” Bozman said. “Every win makes us more confident, stronger and more cohesive.”

Duke strikes early in road victory over Clemson by

David

Ungvary THE CHRONICLE

Over the last two years, Duke has struggled to beat Clemson, losing a game in each season to its ACC foe. But the No. 7 Blue Devils (7-2, 2-0 in the ACC) finally DUKE secured that elusive win Friday CLEMSON night when they took down the Tigers (3-5-1, 0-3) with a 4-2 trouncing in Clemson, S.C. Duke took an early lead when junior Darrins Barnes hit senior midfielder Joe Germanese, who rattled the ball in the back of the cage within the first 10 minutes of play. Clemson, however, was not deflated by the Blue Devils’ early strike. The Tigers came clawing back just thirteen minutes later when senior forward David Bell notched the tying goal. After junior Mike Grella responded with a goal of his own five minutes later, Clemson became noticeably frustrated, crossing the line between playing intensely and playing too aggressively. The Tigers’ physical game haunted them throughout the contest and nearly erased any hope they had of rallying back down the stretch, as they had 26 fouls called against them, including two yellow cards and two red cards. “I’m not sure why they fouled as much as they did,” head coach John Rennie said. “I’m not sure what their plan was, but it gave us a lot of opportunities to go forward and it cost them two players at the end of the day.” Perhaps the most costly foul came just

sealing the victory. The Blue Devils, who have outshot their opponents in every game, again had more attempts on net. But continuing that streak of outshooting opponents is not the team’s focus entering each contest, particularly in a road matchup against a team like Clemson. “We played very well, it’s a very hard place to play—l can’t remember the last time we won here,” Rennie said. “A win away from home in this league—you just take that for the individual game that it is. We went forward, we scored a lot of goals, and we won a game and we’ll take it at that

point.”

weekend wrapup

Blue Devils rack up another win Duke emerged victorious in its second consecutive meet after besting the field at the Mary Keating Invitational Saturday in Orono, Maine. The Blue Devils were led by junior Maddie McKeever, who was running in her first meet of the season and was the individual winner in the 5K race with a time of 16:59.40. The second-place finisher, Donaldson, Yale’s Lindsay clocked in 16 seconds after McKeever. It was a team effort, however, as Duke runners dominated the top-10. Sophomore Kate Van Buskirk came in fifth with a time of 17:37.20, followed by teammates Patricia Loughlin, Emily Sherrard and Christy Adamyk, who finished in the seventh, eighth and ninth places, respectively. Three other Blue Devils—Emily Schwitzer, Shelley Forbers and Molly Lehman—boosted the team’s points total by crossing the finish line within the top 20. The team next competes in the Hagan Stone XC Classic Oct. 6 in Greensboro.

Nelson named as captain Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced Friday that senior DeMarcus Nelson will be his team’s captain for the 2007-2008 season. The 6-foot-4 guard, who is the lone senior on the squad, was also a team captain last season, when he averaged a team-high

Duke, which has been affected all season by injuries to its veteran leaders, will get a huge boost on defense when senior defenseman Tim Jepson, who has been out all season with a hamstring injury, looks to suit up for the first time this Friday. For the Blue Devils, things are only looking up. “We started a little behind the curve because of three major surgeries in the spring and Jepson’s injury right away,” Rennie said. “We’re getting healthier, we’re getting better and I think when we do get Tim Jepson back now hopefully in another week, we’ll get better as we get into October.” Duke has made good use ofits last three contests in terms of getting even. The Blue Devils, who defeated both Maryland and UNC-Wilmington in their two previous matches, have now avenged all three oflast year’s regular-season losses. The next game will be a tough one for Duke as it takes on No. 21 Boston College Oct. sth at 7 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium.

14.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per contest. “As our

only senior and fourDeMarcus year letterwinner, has grown into quite a leader,” Krzyzewski said. “This has been recognized by his teammates and coaches, so instead of having multiple leaders we are looking for DeMarcus to do that on his own this year. The Blue Devils open practice Oct. 12. ”

—from staff reports Duke in 7th after Day 1 Defending their 2006 tournament title, the Blue Devils found themselves in seventh place after the first two rounds of play at the Fighting Illini Invitational at Olympia Fields Country Club in

Olympia Fields, 111. Duke struggled early in the day, finishing the first round with a collective 14-over 294, but the team fought its way back in the second round, posting a 9-over 289. The Blue Devils were led Sunday by sophomore Adam Long, who carded a 74 in the first round and 72 in the second. Long had ten bogeys on the day, but began the second round strong, firing two birdies over the first four holes. His solid play helped him move into a share of 22nd place, finishing with a 6-over 146. Oklahoma State leads the field after firing a second-round team total of 5-under 275. The team’s 7-over 567 for the day gave them a three-stroke lead over secondplace Texas.

Duke tees off today at 7:45 a.m. in the third and final round of the Invitational. —by Kyle Lambrecht Blue Devils hostAlumni Match Thirteen of Duke’s best, including five former All-Americans, returned to Ambler Stadium on Saturday to take on the current Blue Devil squad in the third annual Duke Tennis Alumni Match. The alumni faced off against the current roster in a mini dual match, consisting of single set doubles and singles contests. The alumni played the current roster to a 5-5 tie. Current teams are now 2-0-1 against the alumni. Head coach Jay Lapidus was happy just to see so many of his former players. “It’s just good to see them all in person,” he said. “It brings back a lot ofmemories.” The team also hosted an alum-

ni-only single point tournament. Recent graduate Joey Atas took first with several impressive points, including an epic semi-final win over Geoff Grant. Atas was more excited about being back at Duke after graduating in 2007. “It’s awesome, coming back to see everyone,” he said. “Win or lose, I had a great day.” Former All-American Grant was named Alumni Weekend MVP, going 2-0 on the weekend, remaining undefeated in Alumni Weekend matches. —by James McMahon

complicated this was for the University.”

Coleman said many of the unsettled concerns at this juncture pivot on whether the University had supported its students enough. “I think there was almost a sense of relief, that a kind ofa final piece had been put into place,” Coleman said. “He recognized the University had not [done enough], and as president, he took responsibility for that. He made no excuses, and I think that was

appropriate.” KC Johnson, a history professor at Brooklyn College and author of the “Durham-in-Wonderland” blog, said Brodhead’s

The apology that President Richard Brodhead made at the School ofLaw Saturday marked one of the few occassions he spoke publicly about the lacrosse case.

BROOHEAD from page 1 affairs and public relations, said Brodhead had been seeking an opportunity to make such a statement for some time. Bumess added that the timing of Brodhead’s apology was independent of last week’s announcement that several lacrosse families had hired attorney Charles Cooper, which sparked rumors that the University could soon face a lawsuit. “This conference was the logical place to give this kind of talk,” Bumess said. “The decision to do this was weeks-old at this point.” Law professor James Coleman said the nature ofBrodhead’s response did not indicate concern over a lawsuit.

“Given the unequivocal nature of his remarks, I don’t think he was concerned with [a lawsuit],” he said. “I think he did the right thing, and the fact that he did the right thing in the face of a threatened lawsuit is [commendable].” Bumess said the presence of the Trustees, who were in Durham for the weekend, was also unrelated to Brodhead’s apology. However, Trustees were present at the conference only during the president’s remarks, noted senior Ken Larrey, founder of Duke Students for an Ethical Duke —a group formed in the aftermath of the lacrosse case to advocate equality and fairness for all students. “He gave that apology because the Trustees ordered him to,” he said. “I’m not even

sure he believed what he was saying.” Larrey added that Brodhead could have been responding to pressure from Bilas’ letter to Bliwise, which Bilas said he still stood by. “What President Brodhead apologized for was his weakness and failures as a leader, but what we’re left with is a weak leader,” Bilas said. “I respect him very much as a scholar, but I think he’s proven himself incapable to lead Duke into the future.” Others who were present at the conference, however, interpreted the situation

differendy. “I think his statement was exacdy right,” Bradley said. “His statement did a goodjob of apologizing for things that needed to be apologized for while acknowledging how

remarks were appropriate, but added that his sincerity would be reflected in his future actions. “The question will be whether his future policies actually reflect the sentiments in his statement,” Johnson wrote in an e-mail. “If he has —as he said yesterday—truly learned lessons from the case, then presumably he will now try to create a Duke faculty whose members make better judgments and are less inclined to make divisive statements at their own students’ expense.” Others, although saying Brodhead had done the right thing, said the president had been too caudous. “I think it’s a step in the right direction, but it’s a very small step,” Larrey said. “I think he’s being cautious because it certainly does not come to grips with the severity of the situation Duke is in right now [facing a pending lawsuit]. Bilas, who called the apology “woefully insufficient,” said he also questioned the strength of the University’s position. “I’m disappointed that over the course of the entire matter the University was more concerned with liability than responsibility,” he said. Attempts to reach lacrosse players and their families were unsuccessful.

case “will be forgotten someday” is understandable, but it is too early to speak of forgetting the case while there are still so many students on campus who have been direcdy affected by the fallout and deserve to be direcdy addressed. Brodhead’s apology will do much to help restore Duke’s image. However, his disappointing decision not to engage the student body with his courageous statement suggests that he has not entirely absorbed the lessons of the case, but he has taken a step in the right direction toward restoring the University’s integrity and given a degree of closure to an unfortunate spectacle that has polarized and preoccupied the University for far too long.

learning experience. The suggestion that Duke host a “national conference... to discuss best practices” when handling cases like this is a commendable, concrete step. The lessons that the Duke community has learned will do much to ensure that similar cases do not again have such destructive consequences. This clear effort to place the regrettable events of the case in a historical and academic context marks a turning point for this community and will do much to bring a sense of closure. At the same time, Brodhead has a responsibility to directly address his students, and the wounds inflicted by the case will not fully heal until he does so. His hope that the lacrosse

Brodhead’s speech was far removed from the heart of the community, and his longoverdue apology seemed directed more at the news media and the nation than at die Duke community. Many students first learned about his remarks from external news outlets such as ESPN, com, long after the fact. Considering the inaccessibility of the venue, Brodhead should have sent out an e-mail immediately following his remarks. His failure to do so robbed the apology of much of its potential impact with the students who have been so affected by the controversy. said, That Brodhead should be commended at this time for admitting mistakes and for treating the case as a

have to be the least 00 SClXibs disastrous form of extreme weather known to nature. Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes—all are very clear when they occur. When a tornado rips a hole in your house, you notice. But the only way I’m going to realize we’re in a drought is if one day I go outside and there’s no more humidity. And that’d be a good thing. Besides, I didn’t think droughts even happened anymore. Seriously, when’s the last time you heard about a drought? A drought is like famine or the plague. It hasn’t happened since the Middle Ages. Sure people complain about the lack of rain all the time. But small-talking with the stylist off East at the Hair Cutlery about how we really need rain this week doesn’t count as a drought. Plus, we don’t need the rain. Who needs rain? We’re not an agrarian economy anymore. We haven’t needed rain since the 19305. Shouldn’t we be able to genetically engineer food at this point? I’m pretty sure the physics department has been manufacturing the cats that roam campus for Just such a purpose. Some have even called for Duke to respond with conservation efforts and a pledge to let the quad go brown until we curb our water use. Has anyone seen the quad? It is brown. Just like a drought is not really a natural disaster if no one notices, letting the quad go brown is not really a protest if no one cares. For starters, yellow rope is not an effective tool for stopping people from walking across the quad. In fact, with campus tours, bonfires and reunion tents, the quad is a year-long parade of landscaping devastation. There’s so much mud when it rains that Main West starts to look like the illegitW.'V vr

imate child of Woodstock ’99 and Malaysia. All complaints aside, though, we do have a moral obligation to help. Our water conservation problem is a classic collective action failure and I would shame my PPS major and the Sanford Deli if I didn’t do something about it. Our failure to conserve water during this drought would be a more epic choke than the Mets’ collapse this weekend. So, I’ll leave you with five simple tips to help you do your part to conserve water.

1. Stop drinking water. Duh. Few people actually consider this, but drinking water most directly contributes to our shrinking water supply. In fact, studies have shown that water from Durham taps is 98-percent water. That means the next time you pour yourself a glass of Durham’s finest, you’re almost drinking water. And that’s a problem. 2. Use bottled water. Bottled water on the other hand is fine. Since all bottled water comes from a magical, bottomless spring in France, it’s not hurting the Durham ecosystem. In fact, after you’re done with your Le Bleu shower, you should probably pour the rest down the drain. Otherwise it’s wasteful. 3. Don’t watch “Garden State.” I normally would never give this advice. Like Natalie Portman says, sometimes we look forward to a good cry. But the last scene is a tear-jerker and now is not the time. Crying is the reason for 27 percent of wasted water caused by Duke undergraduates and, on an unrelated note, 99 percent of annoyance caused by freshman girls. (The other 1 percent is carrying a camera with themselves everywhere.)

4. Avoid physical activity at all costs. One of the main consequences of bodily sweating. While many environmentalists might discount sweating as an issue of water conservation, none of them were at George’s this weekend where I witnessed the ultimate in water mismanagement. Imagine an overzealous Dukie, who in the process of crankin’ dat soulja boy, sweat so profusely that not only did he supersoak his ho, but he also irrigated a small village in Kenya. movement is

etterstotheeditor Show support for “Saffron Revolution” Last Wednesday, I was happy to see The Chronicle guest column, “Eyes on Burma,” discussing the situation in Burma. Although I cannot summarize the matter any better than that column’s author, I would like to reiterate her message and issue a call to action for the Duke community. Two years ago, I received a grant from Duke to travel to Thailand and research the work being done by Burmese political refugees to enact change within their nation. Many academics I met there feverishly wrote articles and essays to attract attention to their cause. But toward this end, they were unsuccessful. Too few people were listening. Events of the past week have changed this. The recent protests against authoritarianism in Burma have garnered attention worldwide. Even actor Jim Carrey has spoken out, posting a YouTube video asking the public to e-mail U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to get the issue placed on the Security Council’s agenda. I would encourage all to watch his message and send an e-mail, but there are other ways to help too. Last Wednesday’s guest columnist asked students to learn more about the issue. If you haven’t already done so, students will be distributing information about Burma’s struggle today on the Plaza. You can also sign a petition on the Web site of the U.S. Campaign for Burma that asks Chinese President Hu Jintao to use his leverage with the Burmese junta to encourage national reconciliation. Then, at noon on Tuesday, all are invited to a rally on the Chapel steps that will show solidarity with the protesters in

Burma. Even if you are unable to come, please show your support for what activists have begun to call the “Saffron Revolution” (after the color of the monks’ robes) by wearing maroon or red on that day. Two summers ago, a Burmese academic told me that “the Burmese problem is that nobody is serious about Burma.” It’s time to prove otherwise—and your help is required.

of the half-dozen student organizations I run. Oh, I also ran six miles. And tonight, I plan to knock back Busch Lights until I black out to make up for last night’s lack of sleep. Does this sound like a realistic day to you? It shouldn’t. Unfortunately, rachael massell this hyperbole isn't too far side | ong g | an£e off from what some Duke students think they can cram into 24 hours Gotta breathe, gotta eat, gotta sleep. Oxygen, energy, rest. These are our lives’ building blocks. Without them, our bodies cease functioning. These are the rules by which the rest of society plays, but apparently college students at an elite university think they can do just fine without the latter two (they admit defeat on the first count). Many think they actually thrive in such conditions of scarcity. Why else would I routinely overhear some students bragging about how little sleep they’ve gotten? This valuing of asceticism in pursuit of excellence (or at least survival) in our academic and extracurricular pursuits complements a culture of excess in our social affairs. And thus, the “work hard, play hard” ethos is born. Although this aspect of campus culture has been endlessly rehashed in the last few semesters, I think we’ve overlooked a major contributing factor: We simply do not value well-being or moderation in our community or as individuals. Though the administration may pay lip service to such ideas through the support of programs like the Oasis, one only needs to get on the weeks-long waitlist for a counselor at CAPS to know that such programming is merely a band-aid for a much larger wound within our community. So why is self-deprivation valued above self-care? Some might argue that our sacrifice ofsleep and other creature comforts is altruistic; there are simply not enough hours in the day to make our requisite difference in the world and do all our readings for class tomorrow.

occasion DUBUQUE,

But can’t we best serve others when we’re clear-headed and energized? Being a good person doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. You can do good and be well at the same time; they aren’t mutually exclusive. The competitive nature that drove us all here in the first place probably plays into this phenomenon as well. We compete for grades, jobs and guys, so it’s only natural that we also want to beat our neighbors at I-got-less-sleepthan-you or I-have-more-papers-than-you. This is the same instinct that collectively drives us to start a new student organization every 10 seconds and propels many of us, including yours truly, to ever more exotic locales for study abroad and summer projects. Obviously, the main reason I studied abroad in Cameroon last fall was so that one day, I could write about my adventures with exotic diseases and latrines in a Chronicle column and let the world know how hard-core I am. Duh. But the competitive spirit alone can’t explain some of the crazy things we do. Maybe some people actually do thrive offof no sleep; it’s possible their lives are one big adrenaline rush. These are the same people who say when you graduate from college (or, alternately, die), you won’t look back and wish you had slept more. But aren’t quality of life and sheer quantity of life two different things? I would argue that the people who sleep more are better able to fully embrace and enjoy the waking portion of life than the people who are only semi-conscious through it all. And still others truly think they’re invincible, which must be a great feeling —until it wears off and you end up shaking from caffeine dependency and sleeping through your seminars. The dichotomy of deprivation and excess discourages open dialogue about our limits as human beings, but we all know somebody who couldn’t subsist for four years on a diet of booze and coffee. Regardless of its origins, the low status our campus culture gives well-being harms the community at large, as demonstrated by the oft-noted abuse ofAdderall on campus. “Work hard, play hard” is not a sustainable lifestyle; to adapt the DukePlays slogan, why not give “work well, play well” a try?

lowa It’s been said that in academia, the feuds are so bitter because the stakes are so low. If anything proves that, it’s working a fulltime job in lowa. There are a thousand minor battles fought at Duke every week that I know nothing about. This doesn’t just apply to our school—here in Dubuque I hardly know anything about what goes on at major colleges frank Holleman in America, compared with Ollt Of pan.. the amount of exposure at Duke provided But I couldn’t avoid hearing the story ofMahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at Columbia University a week ago. The president ofIran is a noted critic of America. His administration has done everything from allegedly providing bombs to Iraqi insurgents to questioning the Holocaust. Understandably, the decision to let Ahmadinejad speak was a controversial one. Of course the pundits were out in force, deriding the president ofColumbia for allowing Ahmadinejad to speak at the school. Presidential candidates were quizzed. Protests were held. But when it came down to the wire the president of Columbia, Lee Bollinger, stuck it to all of the naysayers. As he introduced Ahmadinejad before the president’s speech, Bollinger referred to the Iranian’s leadership as “cruel and petty,” and his position of Holocaust skepticism as “either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated.” These, among other statements, were direct rebuttals not only of Ahmadinejad himself, but also of those who said that inviting the Iranian to speak at the university was unacceptable. He showed that his university would not let Ahmadinejad’s radical positions go unquestioned by the intellectual community. As would be expected, Bollinger’s intentions were immediately called into question. The same man who had been asked to defend his stand on having Ahmadinejad speak was then asked to defend his criticism of what Ahmadinejad had said. It was an ironic moment of misplaced indignation. All told, I think Bollinger did the right thing from start to finish. He expressed the most important principles of in-, tellectualism by first inviting Ahmadinejad to talk and then not allowing the president’s perverse propaganda and policies to remain undisputed. Any college has the obligation to present different points ofview to its students and theworld at large. Higher education must be bold in forcing us to try and understand ideas different from our own. But that obligation is at all times tempered by a responsibility to promote reason and fact. Ahmadinejad certainly represents a viewpoint different from the average American, and Columbia would be remiss if it didn’t present such a view from time to time. But it would also be morally reprehensible to allow Ahmadinejad’s record of statements and actions to go unquestioned. Some people might think it’sreckless to invite a man to speak and question his respectability in the same breath. But I think it wouldbe worse not to do so in this case. Ahmadinejad is unpopular in his own country, and if he is able to maintain power beyond his current term it will probably be because of his country’s suppression offree expression. In the United States he shouldn’t have that advantage. The excesses, exploitations and executions of the Iranian regime cannot go unquestioned in our open marketplace of ideas. Given an open discourse, Ahmadinejad’s denials ofreligious and political freedoms, as well as his reprehensible stand on the Holocaust, will be denied any validity. And indeed, during an open question-and-answer session, Ahmadinejad’s attempts to defend his record were lame and laughable. They ranged from calling otherworld leaders “retarded” to insisting there are no homosexuals in Iran. These statements aren’t surprising, considering his record. They’re also anathema to everything higher education represents, and not refuting them would give them a weight that they don’t deserve. Personally, I was glad that, after years of academics trying as hard as possible to accommodate even the most absurd ideas, Bollinger was willing to publicly and forcefully make a stand against Ahmadinejad. This time, the stakes were high, and he rose to the occasion.

Evan Stewart Trinity ’OB President’s actions post-lacrosse unbelievable On Saturday, I read online President Richard Brodhead’s apology to the lacrosse team members accused of rape. As a lawyer, I cannot believe a president of a prestigious university and an equally prestigious law school could have taken such actions and uttered such statements against the accused players. Obviously, Brodhead does not believe in the presumption of innocence, but rather the obvious conclusion of guilt upon arrest. I have told my two children that I cannot support their desire to apply to Duke University for their education, but I will support (and finance) any other school of their choice. I base my decision not only on the actions of the president, but of the lack of the other faculty members to publicly challenge his actions and statements. Kent Yano Palm Desert, Calif.

What do you crat/e? Be a part ofwhere The Chronicle's going...

Campus renovations will eventually move The Chronicle from its longtime home in the Flowers Building. Hard as it may be to imagine the newspaper somewhere else, a move represents a remarkable opportunity: the chance to build from scratch a better newsroom.

What newsroom will best serve independent reporting at Duke? How can it embrace changing technology and media trends? What should it look like? Where should it be? To get answers, The Chronicle is launching the Next Newsroom Project, a joint between the newspaper and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Over the next year we’ll, Conduct a national discussion about the model campus newsroom, starting with the Chronicle staff and Duke community and extending to other college newspapers, media, academics and foundations Convene a conference on the topic at Duke next spring Craft the best possible proposal for The Chronicle’s next home Document every step and useful finding on the Project Web site, as a standing resource for other college newspapers.
