Though the schedule says that Duke will play army Saturday, the Blue Devils will really battle two opponents. In addition to the Black Knights, Duke’s players will face the challenge of overcoming the remnants of the 62-13 drubbing they received at the hands of no. 1 alabama last weekend.

“We played against the number one team,” freshman Josh Snead said. “They dominated us in all phases of the game, but we feel like with some of the stuff we did we im-proved a little bit.”

Snead and the rest of the Blue Devils (1-2) will get a chance to show that improvement in Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Snead in particular has built some nice momen-tum for the game, after running for 83 yards, at an average of nearly six yards a carry, against the Crimson Tide.

“With my great offensive line we prepared really well to run the ball,” Snead said. “I did a great job of seeing where the cuts were and how to handle certain movements in the line that I can prepare for the rest of the season.”

against army (2-1), running the ball will be a huge key to success. Snead, Desmond Scott and the rest of Duke’s stable of backs will need to be effective in order to keep the Black Knights’ run-option offense off the field.

army’s unique scheme could make that difficult, how-ever. The Black Knights favor the Bear-flex defense, an ag-gressive scheme aimed at stopping the run game.

Admins present formal financial updateby Matthew Chase

THe CHRonICLe

Top administrators expressed confidence Thursday that the University will be able to eliminate its remaining $40 million budget deficit in the next two years.

provost peter Lange and executive Vice president Tallman Trask provided faculty members with an up-date on the University’s financial climate at the first academic Council meeting of the Fall semester. Most of the presentation re-emphasized information president Richard Brodhead sent by e-mail to faculty and staff Wednesday regarding the state of the endowment and budget deficit.

The administrators reported that the endowment saw a 13.2 percent return for fiscal year 2009-2010, which

ended June 30, and that the University still has to cut about $40 million.

“It is important that it is a better outcome than we an-ticipated because all of the budget cuts that we anticipate are based on projections,” Lange said regarding the posi-tive endowment return.

Donations to the University increased by 15 percent from last year to $345 million, which Lange called a “partial recov-ery of fund-raising.” Most giving, however, came from one-year cash returns and not long-term pledges, Lange added.

Since implementing budget reforms last year, the Uni-versity has reduced its annual budget by about $60 million,

Atwater sentenced to life in prisonThe man who admitted to killing

former UnC student body president eve Carson was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday.

Demario atwater, 24, pleaded guilty in april to five federal charges

including kidnap-ping and carjacking resulting in death. atwater’s plea al-lowed him to avoid the death pen-alty at the federal level. along with Laurence Lovette, atwater is accused of kidnapping and

murdering the 22-year-old University of north Carolina at Chapel Hill stu-dent in March 2008.

In addition to being sentenced to life in prison, atwater was ordered

to pay more than $212,000 in resti-tution if he is ever released. Federal District Court Judge James Beatty, though, noted that such a release is highly unlikely, The (Raleigh) news & observer reported.

atwater and Lovette, 19, alleg-edly kidnapped Carson from her Chapel Hill home early in the morning of March 5, 2008. Inves-tigators say the two men comman-deered Carson’s SUV and forced her to withdraw $1,400 from several aTMs. police say the two men then shot her five times and dumped her body at the intersec-tion of Hillcrest Circle and Hill-crest Road in Chapel Hill.

at his sentencing, atwater looked directly at Carson’s parents, who were seated in the front row of the Winston-Salem courtroom, and apol-

ogized, according to The (Raleigh) news & observer.

“I’m sorry for everything that’s happened,” he said, according to the paper. “no matter what the court did today it would be far from anything I should receive.”

The Carsons declined to speak, the paper reported.

Lovette, atwater’s alleged accom-plice, is being charged with murder, kidnapping and robbery in orange County. He will not face the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of Carson’s death. He is also accused of robbing and murdering Duke graduate student abhijit Mahato at Mahato’s off-campus apartment in Durham in January 2008. Lovette faces a maximum sentence of life im-prisonment for both killings.

ToKYo - Japan said Friday that four of its citizens are being held in china for al-legedly videotaping military targets as tensions heightened over a territorial dispute that has damaged ties between asia’s two biggest economies.

The four are employees of Fujita corp., chief cabinet secretary Yoshito sengoku said in Tokyo. They were visiting hebei, china on company business unrelated to military issues, Fujita spokesman Yoshiaki onodera said.

The detention comes as china ratchets up pressure on Japan to release a fishing boat captain who collided with Japanese coast Guard vessels near islets claimed by both countries. The islands, known as Diaoyu in chinese and senkaku in Japa-nese, are in the east china sea near natu-ral gas fields. The two countries signed an agreement to jointly develop the fields that has yet to be implemented.

WashinGTon — The evidence for cli-mate change grows: The first eight months of 2010 put this year on track to tie 1998 as the hottest year on record, global bleach-ing is devastating coral reefs and arctic summer sea ice is reaching new lows.

But for all the visible signs of global warming, weakened political support for curbing the emissions that drive it means that the united states is unlikely to impose national limits on greenhouse gases before 2013, at the earliest. sev-eral leading Gop candidates this fall are questioning whether these emissions even cause warming, while some key senate Democratic candidates are now disavowing the cap-and-trade bill that passed the house in 2009.

“i don’t see a comprehensive bill going anywhere in the next two years,” senate natural resources committee chairman Jeff Bingaman, D-n.M., said Tuesday.

columbia professor Robert Jarvis discusses his experiences writing about war Thursday.

by Anna KoelschTHe CHRonICLe

With the Iraq war in the end stages, Co-lumbia professor Robert Jervis provided insight into the conflict and the pitfalls of analyzing war itself.

Jervis, the adlai e. Stevenson profes-sor of International politics at Columbia University, shared findings from his recent book “Why Intelligence Fails: Lessons from the Iranian Revolution and the Iraq War” in a speech at the School of Law Thursday.

The speech focused on the complicated

task of writing about a war after its conclu-sion. Jervis said it is clear that the Iraq war has been a failure because many “postmortems” have already been written about the conflict.

“We almost never do postmortems on successes,” he said. “We want causation. We need to compare failures and successes.”

Jervis said writing about war after the fact is problematic because authors must rely on sources who struggle to recall what they thought in a moment of great stress. The ac-counts are also often written with the expecta-tion of finding the “silver bullet,” he said.

Jervis said he realized just how touchy postmortems are when he was interviewing analysts about went wrong in Iran.

“They were on edge and nervous,” he said. “I then realized that while I have tenure, they don’t and could get fired for what I say.”

Jervis said that of the major questions about the Iraq war, only a fraction could be answered by intelligence reports. Intel-ligence produced papers predicting that reconstruction “was going to be hard” and eventually concluded that there were not necessarily connections between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, he said.

But intelligence failed to answer ques-tions about the status of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs and whether the situation would deteriorate if Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons, Jervis not-ed. Yet although former president george W. Bush was widely blamed for the lag in intelligence, Jervis conceded that it prob-ably was not his fault.

Jervis said the intelligence community

was largely passive while Bush was deciding to go to war.

“I suspect that part of the reason why is that they knew it was hopeless,” he said. “Regardless, it’s totally unacceptable.”

erin Daniel, a staff assistant at the Law School, said Jervis was selected to speak by the Center for International and Compara-tive Law because his book was a “hot topic.”

nan Yang, an exchange student from peking University who is now at Duke Law,

said she was glad she attended the speech. “I don’t come from the United States

and am interested in learning about the different perspectives on international af-fairs,” she said. “I wanted to have an idea of how other people see the Iraq war.”

Despite the solemn subject matter, Jervis kept the tone light.

“I’d never heard students laugh so loud at a lunchtime lecture,” said Cassie Web-ster, a third-year law student.

Career Center sees success with first-year outreach effortsby Lauren Carroll

THe CHRonICLe

Some freshmen are heading to the Career Center just weeks into their time at Duke to start planning for their future.

This past year, one of the center’s main goals was to help freshmen become aware all their services and demon-strate the importance of experimentation when consider-ing a professional career, Teri Mills, an assistant director for the Career Center, wrote in an e-mail.

The center has seen a 33 percent increase in freshman turnout at its events that it attributes to new efforts to reach first-year students, the associated press reported Sept. 12.

“We don’t want to push students to decide on a specific course of action, we want them to fully engage in the ex-ploration process,” Mills said. “The process of exploration is powerful in helping students understand themselves in order to make informed and appropriate decisions.”

new initiatives include the “four plus model,” which provides assistance for students starting their freshman year through four years after graduation, and LaUnCH, a 6-session series that intends to equip students with a better understanding of opportunities at Duke.

other programs include the First-Year Internships ini-tiative, which is designed to help first-year students gain experience in professional settings, and First Year Fridays, where freshman can get their resumes reviewed and ask quick questions without having to schedule an appoint-ment. although elevated unemployment rates are a chal-lenge facing college graduates, Mills said first-year students cite other reasons for reaching out to the Career Center.

“First-year students want information on how to navigate the new world they have just entered,” she noted. “They of-ten come to us for information on specific programs they

can participate in, resources available to them and how to gain exposure to areas of interest.”

For some freshmen, the Career Center services have already helped them achieve short-term goals.

“I guess I don’t want to think about a career yet, but... I went to the resume build-ing workshop, and now I have a work-study job,” freshman Manuela Mejia said.

John gitau, also a freshman, said he at-

tended an open house at the Career Cen-ter in order to get an “early start” on his career path.

“I have a few ideas in mind, but I figure these guys are professionals,” he said.

Freshman Marianna Jordan agreed that it is important to explore one’s post-gradu-ate opportunities sooner rather than later.

“I think the mindset in america in 2010 is that it’s best to start thinking about ca-reers and post-grad opportunities once you enter college,” Jordan wrote in an e-mail, adding that she plans to attend Career Center events in the near future.

largely through employee attrition and the elimination of some non-salary expenses. To date, the University has eliminated the equivalent of around 392 positions—most-ly from central administrative units—since last year and has saved about $32.3 million in scaling back non-salary expenses, Trask said. He added that the number of posi-tions eliminated will be the equivalent of 400 to 425 “when all settles out.”

There is some good news for faculty members, however. administrators have plans to make a modest salary increase in the next fiscal year, according to Brod-head’s Wednesday e-mail.

But this year individual schools will face tight budgets, with a flat annual spending distribution from the long-term pool.

and as faculty members leave the University, many of their positions will not be refilled—especially in the Trin-ity College of arts and Sciences. Lange said Trinity will need to see an attrition of 20 to 30 positions—which is less than 5 percent of its current 645 regular rank faculty members.

“Had we not encountered the recession, the stress on the arts and Sciences budget due to the size of the faculty would have been substantial,” Lange said. “But with the down-turn of the economy... it became worse.”

Because of the large faculty size, Lange said the University will have to launch few-er faculty searches this year. Last year Duke conducted 58 searches, whereas this year it will run about 50.

“The principal reason that number is go-ing down is because we will be running fewer searches in arts and Sciences,” Lange said.

Trinity has seen an average of 3 per-cent annual faculty growth since the 2005-2006 academic year—the second-highest annual growth rate behind the Sanford School of public policy, which Lange noted has grown significantly be-cause it transitioned from an institute to a school in July 2009.

Trask added that administrators plan to start an eprocurement program in Jan-uary to automate the way the University purchases equipment and other “stuff.” The University currently spends $650 million per year on such expenditures, Trask said, adding that reducing that cost with eprocurement programming by

5 percent would save the University $30 million per year.

In accordance with other Duke admin-istrative Reform Team initiatives that strive to find excesses in the budget, the Univer-sity is close to eliminating paper from the payroll process, Trask said.

“We are convinced there is still enough room to say that we can get the $40 million out of the budget,” he said.

in other business:Council members voted to change the

academic Council election by allowing the election committee to either list all faculty members eligible to serve on the council or list the subset of faculty members who express that they want to serve.

“our hope is to collect the names of those that are interested and make that the nominating ballot,” said Chair Craig Hen-riquez, professor of biomedical engineer-ing. “But we did not want to tie the hands of future academic Council chairs... if it gets to the point where nobody chooses to self nominate, we are going to have a prob-lem, so we like the flexibility.”

Henriquez also discussed some of the top-ics the Council will address throughout the year. The Council is expected to approach is-sues such as Duke’s global strategy, the face of Undergraduate education, salary equity and faculty diversity. The Council may also discuss a June report from the Knight Commission, which called for college athletics reform in light of increasing athletic spending.

Again, Duke got its shots off against its opponent. And, again, it found difficulty converting the attempts into goals.

This time, though, the Blue Devils’ failure to convert cost them. In its first ACC match of the season, No. 14 Duke fell to Wake Forest 2-1 at Koski-

nen Stadium Thursday night. Although Duke (6-2-2, 0-1-0 in the ACC)

controlled much of the possession early in the game, it was the Demon Deacons (7-3-0, 1-0-0) who struck first, with forward Ra-chel Nuzzolese putting away a 20-yard free kick from just outside the box in the 25th minute. The kick was from an unusual posi-tion—right outside the box nearly adjacent to the goal line—and in their confusion, the Duke defenders failed to make a wall, leaving an easy line to the goal.

“We set up like a corner and it’s not a corner,” head coach Robbie Church said in frustration. “It’s a mistake. When you make a mistake in this league, it’s going to cost

you a goal.” The Demon Deacons had another free

kick opportunity just outside the box with under a minute left in the first half after freshman defender Ashley Rape was called for a foul, but were unable to convert.

The Blue Devils came out with a re-newed sense of purpose in the second half, which culminated in freshman Laura Wein-berg’s breakaway goal in the 62nd minute. Freshman midfielder Kaitlyn Kerr weaved a perfect through-ball between two Demon Deacon defenders, and Weinberg was able to put it past freshman Wake Forest goalie Aubrey Bledsoe into the bottom right cor-ner of the net.

Weinberg now leads Duke with five goals on the season, while Kerr is tied with freshman forward Gilda Doria for the as-sists lead at three.

The Blue Devils were only able to remain even for a short while, however, as Nuzzo-lese put away her second free kick of the game in the 68th minute, this time from 23 yards away. The foul was on a controversial call that drew the ire of Duke fans, when

Defending NCAA champions. A No. 1 national ranking. An unblemished record this season. And only eight miles away from Duke.

Top-ranked North Carolina may boast a bevy of accolades, but the No. 13 Blue Devils will look to cement their own sta-

tus as one of the best teams in the country Saturday at 1 p.m. when the ri-val Tar Heels make the short trip to Jack Katz Stadium.

“I think we’re one of the top teams in the country, too,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “I don’t think that results show it, but I think we are. We played them well in the spring, we played them well in preseason.... I think it’s going to be a real

strong game for both teams.”Duke (4-4, 0-1 in the ACC) has yet to con-

cede more than three goals in a single game this season, while North Carolina (7-0, 1-0) has averaged just under five goals per game.

The Blue Devils will look to set the pace and can take advantage of their familiarity with the Tar Heels’ style of play. Although Duke wants to dictate the flow of the game and put pressure on North Carolina, the Blue Devils may need to rely on their tough de-fense even more than usual Saturday.

Susan Ferger, the team’s leading scorer with three goals this year, broke her thumb last weekend and most likely will not see the field against the Tar Heels. Duke will call upon its young talent to fill the void, including freshman Emmie Le Marchand and sophomore Mary Nielsen, who have combined for four scores this season.

“The freshmen and the sophomores have had to acclimate real quickly, and I think they have,” Bozman said. “The greater their strides, the greater success we’re going to see.”

If the team’s underclassmen continue to contribute —and if Duke makes the most of its offensive chances this weekend and beyond —Bozman believes the Blue Devils can elevate their play to an elite level.

“We feel like we’re a work in progress... and we’re inches away from greatness,” she said. “We’ve just been emphasizing how close we are, how we just need to get that little ex-tra inch and the whole outcome of the games are just going to be very different for us.”

After a successful trip to Wilmington, N.C., the Blue Devils return to ACC play tonight against Boston College at 7 p.m. in Koskinen Stadium. No. 11 Duke (3-1-

2, 0-1-1 in the ACC) is coming off its first road game of the season, a 1-0 victory over UNC-Wilming-ton Tuesday night.

As has been the case for most of the young season, soph-

omore Ryan Finley led the way in the win, scoring the team’s lone goal and launching a team-high four shots. Finley, the NCAA’s leading goal-scorer, now has 73 percent of the Blue Devils’ goals for the year.

While Finley does carry much of Duke’s offensive load, head coach John Kerr is not worried.

“He’s the deepest guy [on the field], that’s for sure,” Kerr said. “We’re not overly con-cerned at this stage. If Ryan is the only scorer in the next five games, I’ll be concerned.”

Nevertheless, the coach is still looking

Sales Price: $159,824

*The payment is based on a $159,824 sales price, a $127,850 mortgage amount and a 20% down payment with a 30 year Conventional 5/1 ARM. In the first 5 years, the interest rate is 2.75% and the principal and interest payments are $522. After 60 pay-ments the interest rate will increase or decrease a maximum of 5%. Thereafter, the interest rate is subject to change every 12 months and can increase or decrease a maximum of 2% with a lifetime minimum interest rate of 2.25% and a lifetime maximum interest rate of 7.75%. The adjustments are based on the 1 Year LIBOR index plus a margin of 2.25%. Payments do not include taxes, insurance [or PMI] so your total payment will be higher. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 2.78%. Assuming the 1 Year LIBOR index is the same after 60 payments as it was on 08/20/2010 the simple interest rate after the first adjustment would be 3.25% and the payment would be $556 and would remain constant for the next 12 months. There is no guarantee the index will remain the same during the life of the loan; therefore the APR may increase or decrease during the term of the loan.

Blue Devils travel south for back-to-back matchesby Patricia Lee

THE CHRONICLE

playing back-to-back road games against top ACC op-ponents Georgia Tech and Clemson this weekend, Duke will need to capitalize on its defense and work on strong communication if it hopes to come away with two more conference victories.

The Blue Devils (9-2, 1-0 in the ACC) will first face the Yellow Jackets (7-5, 0-1) in Atlanta Friday night at 7 p.m. before heading up to face the Tigers (10-2, 1-0) in South Carolina Sunday evening.

“Georgia Tech has a very physical team, a very talented team, and we’re going to have to play our best in order to

be successful down there,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “They have solid services, so it’s tough to get them out of system, and they put up a solid block and take good defense around it, so they’re just always coming back at you. We have to be able to communicate and control the ball in order to put the ball away on them.”

The Yellow Jackets were picked to finish third in the ACC and boast one of the top setters in the conference, senior Mary Ashley Tippins, who averages 10.27 assists per match while boasting a .321 hitting percentage. They also have the ACC’s top blocker, junior Asia Stawicka, who has posted 58 blocks so far this season.

After playing Georgia Tech, Duke faces a team similar

to itself, Clemson. The Tigers are a young group, mostly made up of freshmen and sophomores, yet they lead the league in defense by holding opponents to a .135 hitting percentage. Clemson also has accu-mulated an ACC-leading 127 blocks.

“The main part of their team is freshmen and sophomores, but they don’t play like freshmen and sopho-mores,” Nagel said. “They’re very talented and were ranked very high in the ACC last year in blocking, and the entire team is ranked pretty high nationally in blocking right now. They have a blend of scrappy players and very physical players, and they do really well together, so it’s going to be a fight.”

In addition to playing two tough away matches, Duke must also adjust to playing in a different environment where the facilities are smaller and the stands are closer to the court. Both schools garner large crowds for volleyball games, and it’ll be a lot dif-ferent from “playing in the comfy confines of Cameron,” as Nagel said.

However, the Blue Devils have two key advantages this weekend—they have junior middle blocker Amanda Rob-ertson, who was named ACC player of the Week and posted a double-double Friday against Wake Forest, and they are one of the top defensive teams in the conference, holding opponents to a .137 hitting percentage, the second-lowest in the ACC.

“We try to concentrate on defense, and we work very hard at it,” Nagel said. “We have some nice sized players, but we have to get on the floor as well and dig some balls, so that’s something we are working very hard at and very diligently at every day in practice.”

Following this weekend’s road stint, Duke returns to Durham for a four-game homestand against Maryland and Boston College Oct. 1-2 and North Carolina and N.C. State Oct. 8-9.

Duke looks ahead after Wake win

caroline rodriguez/chronicle file photo

senior bo waggoner finished fifth against wake forest last week.

by Sarah ElsakrTHE CHRONICLE

Fresh off their win at Wake Forest two weeks ago, the Blue Devils are in for some tough competition this weekend as the men’s team heads to the Roy Griak Invitational while the women’s team will split and participate in both the Roy Griak and William & Mary Invitationals. Each team looks to accomplish separate goals—the men will try to work towards qualifying for nationals, and the women set out to gain a feel for the competition at these big meets.

On the men’s side, the competition at Roy Griak has increased significantly since last year, with seven nationally ranked teams, including No. 19 Duke, competing. As it heads into the first major meet of the season, head coach Norm Ogilvie said that despite the strength of the field, the Blue Devils will look for a win to move towards qual-ifying for Nationals in November. To make it there, the team either needs a top two finish in the NCAA Southeast Regional in mid-November or must accumulate enough points by beating ranked teams—which will be in ample supply at the Roy Griak Invitational.

“We need to finish fast and together, with a couple guys finishing in the top five to win,” Ogilvie said. “We’ve been training harder, and we’ve had five weeks so far, and it’s our first time to go all-out.”

The results from Wake Forest back up that statement as the top five Duke men finished one second apart, with senior Bo Waggoner in the back, despite him typically be-ing the Blue Devils’ frontrunner.

“Our real weakness was not having an outstanding

frontrunner [in the past]—[we’re] looking to improve that,” Ogilvie said. “Also, Duke is currently ranked 19th, so we’re going to see where we stand this weekend.”

Senior Josh Lund was optimistic about the upcoming meet, even with the increased level of competition.

“I know we will all be very disappointed if we don’t fin-ish in the top four,” Lund said. “We believe we can win this.”

For women’s head coach Kevin Jermyn, team goals for this weekend’s meets are completely different. His team, he said, will not think about qualifying for Nationals this week. Instead, Jermyn is so confident in his team that he sees the meets as a way to gain experience for Nationals.

11 women are heading to the William & Mary Invita-tional with seven more joining the men at Roy Griak, but according to Jermyn the decision was not made based on performance so far.

“We are trying not to make coaching decisions until No-vember when we pick the top seven to compete at Nation-als,” Jermyn said. “We are not thinking about using this meet to qualify for Nationals at all, we are looking more to prepare as individuals here and looking to automatically qualify at Regionals. We try to make this the best experi-ence for every runner... and one of our top seniors Emily Schwitzer is actually from that area so we wanted to give her a chance to run on her home turf.”

The eager outlook shared by both teams, albeit for dif-ferent reasons, was best summed up by Lund.

“We are in the best shape of our lives and I am excited to see what we can do,” he said.

head coach John kerr thinks Andrew wenger will start at center back.

for other players to get more involved on the score sheet.“We definitely need more production from Cole [Gross-

man], from Temi [Molinar], from Chris Tweed-Kent, and from [Rob] Dolot,” Kerr said. “We need more production from them on the offensive end.”

The key question that remains for the Blue Devils is where sophomore Andrew Wenger will line up tonight. Wenger started the year at forward alongside Finley, but a knee injury to freshman Sebastien Ibeagha forced Kerr to move Wenger to the backline. Although Ibeagha returned on Tuesday, his older brother, senior Christian Ibeagha, went down with an injury himself. For tonight’s match, Kerr said that Wenger will likely start at center back alongside the younger Ibeagha.

With Wenger in the back, Finley and company will have to be in top form, as the Eagles have allowed just three goals this season and zero on the road. No. 10 Boston College (4-0-2, 0-0-1) defeated the Blue Devils in both of last year’s meetings—2-0 in Chestnut Hill, Mass., and 1-0 in the ACC tournament.

“They’re stingy. They work really hard for each other,” Kerr said. “They’re organized and they get players behind the ball quickly so it makes it more difficult for us to break them down, but we’ve developed a game plan to counteract that and give us some more opportunities going forward.”

If Duke finds a way to get past the Eagles’ defense, it will have to deal with one of the top goalies in the coun-try who always brings his ‘A’-game against Kerr’s squad. Sophomore Justin Luthy had three saves in Boston Col-lege’s first win last year, then shut out the Blue Devils in extra time in the ACC tournament.

“Their goalie last year had the game of his life against us, and hopefully that won’t happen again,” Kerr said.

Duke is in much need of an ACC victory after start-ing the year with a comeback draw against Virginia and a heartbreaking loss to UNC. With just one ACC home game remaining after tonight’s contest, Kerr stressed the impor-tance of this match in relation to his team’s goal of reach-ing the top of the conference standings.

“It’s a critical game for us,” Kerr said. “We don’t want to go winless in our first three ACC home games.”

Duke Tennis heads to charlottesvilleAfter capturing five of six overall championships at the

Duke Fab Four Invite last weekend, Duke will send four players to Charlottesville, Va., to compete in the UVA Ranked plus One Invitational starting today at the Snyder Tennis Center. Seniors Reid Carleton and Jared pinsky and freshmen Chris Mengel and Fred Saba will all participate in both the singles and doubles sections of the competi-tion.

Carleton, who usually teams up with sophomore Hen-rique Cunha to form the No.1 doubles team in the nation, will play with Saba while pinsky will compete with Mengal.

In the singles competition, both Carleton, Mengal and Saba look to build on their singles titles from last weekend. Carleton looked particularly impressive at the Fab Four In-vite, defeating Simon Childs of Lousiville 6-0, 6-1 in the section C finals. He now plays Arkansas’s Matt Hogan to-day at 2:00 p.m.

Familiar ground awaits Blue DevilsThe Blue Devils return to an old stomping ground this

weekend as they travel to Franklin, Tenn., to tee off at the Mason Rudolph Women’s Championship this weekend. Duke won the 54-hole tournament, which is hosted at the 6,281-yard, par 72 Vanderbilt Legends Club, three straight years from 2004 to 2006.

Duke’s team lineup will consist of senior Kim Dono-van, sophomores Lindy Duncan and Courtney Ellenbo-gen and freshman Laetitia Beck and Alejandra Cangrejo. Meanwhile, sophomore Stacey Kim will get her first taste of competition this fall as she competes in the individual tournament.

The Blue Devils, who are coming off a fourth-place fin-ish at the recent NCAA Fall preview in Bryan, Texas, will need to play to their potential as they will face a very com-petitive field. Duke’s 17 competitors at the course include Alabama, Auburn, Arizona State and Southern California, all of which finished in the top-10 last year.

Sophomore Lindy Duncan, who is coming off a career best five-under-par, fourth-place finish at the Fall preview, looks to provide a steady presence for the youthful Blue Devils.

After the Mason Rudolph Championship, Duke will par-ticipate in the Tar Heel Invitational at Finley Golf Course Oct. 8-10.

freshman midfielder Natasha Anasi got her feet tangled with the Wake Forest forward.

“It’s not like I can get mad at my team for working hard and getting stuck in a tackle,” sophomore goalie Tara Campbell said of the penalties leading up to the free kicks. “[But] it’s frustrating that [Wake Forest was] able to convert two of them.”

The Blue Devils had plenty of opportunities through-out the rest of the second half—with 15 shots overall—but ultimately they were unable to convert when they needed to. The Demon Deacons on the other hand only had five shots, but were able to execute on two of them.

“You have to be able to throw out passes and fin-ish chances because they’re not going to be plentiful,” Weinberg said.

Overall, the game was very physical, with 11 fouls on Wake Forest and eight on Duke. A player on both teams received a yellow card, with senior midfielder Bianca D’Agostino receiving one in the 66th minute for the Demon Deacons while Anasi received hers in the 71st minute.

With more ACC competition on the horizon, notably No. 8 Maryland on Sunday, the team knows what it needs to focus on.

“We did some really nice things, but we didn’t execute the final ball,” Church said. “And then we gave up two really soft goals, and you can’t do that in ACC play.”

tracy huang/the chronicle

kaitlyn kerr weaved a pass through wake forest defenders in the game’s 62nd minute to find laura weinberg, who scored Duke’s only goal.

“Their defensive scheme is very difficult,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Everyone talks about the option offense—and it does require a lot of work to get ready for—but it requires a lot of work to get ready for their defense.... They have been very successful insti-tuting this unusual defensive scheme, and not a lot of people do it.”

While Army’s defense will challenge the Blue Devils’ running attack, Duke’s defense could be in for a long day. The Blue Devils have given up an average of 58 points the past two Saturdays, and have especially struggled against the run. The defense has examined itself, and it is looking for specific things to build from despite its recent difficulties.

“There’s a lot of positives,” senior line-backer Abraham Kromah said. “We’ve learned we need to tackle better, swarm the ball better, get our assignments right. We need to do the little things that we can control.”

If the Blue Devils haven’t learned their lesson, Army’s running backs will be there to teach them.

So far this season, the Black Knights have dominated the ground, averaging over 280 yards rushing per game, the sev-

enth most yards of any FBS team. While the yards themselves are damaging enough, the mental and physical drains that come with extended time on the field are even more debili-tating. Throw in the expected high temperature of 95 de-grees, and the Blue Devil defense will have its hands full.

The toughest part of it all may be handling the emotional toll of the confidence-draining defeat on Saturday.

“All athletes get mad,” Snead said. “Especially if you’ve got the winning, competitive nature you’re going to get upset when you lose ballgames.”

To help counteract any distractions, Cutc-liffe didn’t give the team much time to dwell on their struggles.

“We had to put it behind us real quickly,” Snead said. “We had to come out the

next day and practice. Coach told us that we just got domi-nated in all phases of the game, and that this week we need to come out and prepare and try to make a statement.”

Recovering from the past two weeks and clawing back to .500 would be a great start.

Students looking to avoid a cramped bus now have more opportunities to get around via bicycle, thanks to the Of-fice of Student Activities and Facilities’expansion of the Duke Bikes pro-gram. In adding 50 new bikes to its stock of bicycles available for rent to the Duke commu-nity, OSAF has met students’ demand for another way to get around.

Originally conceived as a way to provide bicycles free of charge to students for up to a month, the success of the Duke Bikes program is the result of the enthusiastic par-ticipation of the student body. The decision to add new bikes was in response to student de-mand, which had outstripped the supply of bikes to the

point that students had been turned away daily.

There are multiple ben-efits to the increased bike usage OSAF’s program is in-tended to stimulate. Students

riding bikes to and from cam-pus are not us-

ing cars, helping to decrease congestion on and around the University’s main arter-ies. Substituting motor vehi-cles helps eliminate pollution and emissions, an important step towards achieving cam-pus sustainability initiatives.

Convenience is another important factor. Especially for students who need to navigate across the University’s different campuses, the rhythms of a bus schedule may not be conducive to timely arrivals. Even for stu-dents who have cars, the cam-

pus’ byzantine parking rules make the prospect of getting to class on time much more diffi-cult. The ease of transportation by bicycle combined with the presence of bike racks across campus provides for a useful al-ternative for students on a tight schedule.

Encouraging and facili-tating bicycle use can help connect parts of campus that have traditionally felt isolat-ed, such as Central Campus. The University acted wisely in expanding bus service to Central. Making bicycle trans-portation safer and more con-venient should help promote more unity among Duke’s three campuses.

Recently, the City of Dur-ham was commended for its “bike-friendliness” by the League of American Bicyclists.

This honor highlights both the safety of Durham’s streets for cyclists and its easily acces-sible trails, such as the Ameri-can Tobacco Trail. Students who may not be inspired to venture into Durham by foot or bus now have added incen-tive to experience the city by traversing its streets and paths on two wheels.

Within the confines of campus, the miles of natural trails found in the Duke For-est provide a beautiful set-ting for students to take their newly rented OSAF bikes for a ride. Duke students are fortunate to enjoy a beauti-ful climate and a lush North Carolina geography almost year-round, and bicycles pro-vide another way to take ad-vantage of the natural won-ders of the state.

Among the multitude of budget challenges currently facing the University, stimulat-ing bicycle use is probably not among the most pressing. But simple steps can be taken to improve the University’s acces-sibility and safety for cyclists. Relatively easy, cost-efficient steps include adding more bike racks, maintaining existing bi-cycle paths and ensuring that paths in between campuses are well-lit and secure. And as more new projects are undertaken, the University should keep the interests of bicyclists in mind.

OSAF’s decision to ex-pand the bikes program is a timely response to student demand. Ensuring cyclists are comfortable on campus dovetails with the Universi-ty’s commitments to sustain-ability and wellness.

editorial

Last week the City of Durham issued a press release announcing its recognition as a bi-cycle friendly community by the League

of American Bicyclists. Durham was awarded a bronze-level recognition, the lowest of four levels recognized by LoAB. Chapel Hill also received a bronze-level recognition. Close by Carrboro bested both college towns, achiev-ing a silver rating. Several other North Carolina cities also received awards.

This publication picked up on the story this week, and Tuesday’s edition of Towerview magazine had a one-page spread on just how hip the bicycle commuting trend is for the fall. In true magazine style, the short blurb was accompanied by a shopping list to aid interested trend-followers in getting in on the act.

I hope bicycling is more than a fall trend, but I also applaud all of the publicity this healthy and fun form of transportation is getting!

I’ve covered biking and alternative transpor-tation in this column before, specifically my ex-periences attempting to commute on my bike despite a travel distance of about 9 miles (fairly average for the Duke population as a whole) on some fairly busy roads. Over the summer I was approached by several fellow students with sto-ries about their own attempts and experiences, inspired by the column. I also spoke with regular bike commuters.

The consensus: there is still a lot of room for improvement both at Duke and in Durham, al-though the city and University are constantly mak-ing incremental changes.

It’s sometimes difficult to separate what hap-pens in Durham from what happens at Duke, as in the case with two recent paving projects that intersect campus. The most recent, the resurfac-ing of Anderson Street that runs through Central Campus, was completed by the City. The smooth black tarmac was still awaiting markings as of this writing, but the project is reported to dispense with the parking spaces that lined the street in favor of bicycle lanes. Score one for alternative transportation, and one for Durham. The mindset that made this possible is the mindset that has the potential to carry Durham toward being an even more bike friendly city.

Contrast this positive change with the resurfac-ing of Towerview Drive on campus over the sum-mer. One of the concerns of cyclists the world over is the quality of the pavement on which they ride. What may be a mindless bump to a car can send a cyclist over the handlebars. Towerview, prior to

resurfacing, was one of the roads on campus that needed the most attention. Duke missed an op-portunity when it returned parking to the sides of the road at the completion of the project. Instead

of safe, separated, well surfaced bike lanes on one of the only roads crossing the main campus east to west, bicyclists must continue to contend with traffic and car doors opening into their lane of travel.

This is just one example. There will be plenty more opportunities as roads feeding campus and other popular destinations for living, working and dining in the city come up for repair. The recent publica-tion of the Durham Bike Map, while

useful, is also a telling reminder of the piecemeal nature of existing bike-friendly infrastructure. It’s a situation that won’t change overnight, but it needs to remain a priority.

In the mean time, a new Duke DIY video on the bicycling page of Duke’s Parking and Transporta-tion website features Academic Dean of Trinity College Norman Keul, a regular bike commuter. Keul made a list of the pros and cons of commut-ing by bicycle. The pros won and he says never looked back.

There are also perks. For instance, if you reg-ister as a bike commuter you can be eligible for a limited number of parking day passes—for those days when the pressed suit really needs to shine or there’s a hurricane in the forecast.

More education and awareness of services avail-able on campus is also necessary. For example: Where are the showers? Do I have access to them? Is there a safe place to leave my bike? Or covered bike storage? Do other people commute by bike?

Recent efforts by the Parking and Transporta-tion office in conjunction with the Office of Sus-tainability are starting to answer these questions and build a community of bicycle commuters. As an example, during national bike to work week, the Office of Sustainability held a reception for bike commuters that was reportedly well attended and initiated a positive dialogue. The momentum generated by such events needs to be maintained at all levels of the Duke community.

Finally, no piece on bicycling at Duke would be complete without mentioning the Duke Bikes pro-gram. It’s awesome. Find it, use it.

Ride safe out there, stay off the sidewalks and remember: Always wear a helmet.

Also, who were the stakeholders? Were students formally included? I know some students who would fight pretty hard against the reappointment of Mlyn.

Back in February, a man named Seth Brigham went be-fore the City Council of Boulder, Colorado in an at-tempt to protest a trend in heavier policing of public

nudity. Brigham’s rationale was that the city, known to some for its “progressive” counter-culture, annually hosts events such as the Naked Pumpkin Run and the Naked Bike Ride. He feared that restrictions on attractions like these would damage not only the local population but the tourism industry as well, as many peo-ple apparently flock to Boul-der to see men like Brigham participate in various forms of exercise without their clothes on.

In order to emphasize his point, Brigham appeared in front of the council wearing nothing but his boxer shorts, and was promptly barred from speaking and escorted from the building.

Fortunately for Brigham, this constituted a breach in his civil liberties; specifically, his First Amendment right to freedom of speech and his Fourth Amendment right to protection from unlawful arrest. Rather than deal with the financial implications of a trial (not to mention the inher-ent risk in bringing to court a man with an inclination to-ward nudity in state institutions), the city of Boulder opted instead to pay Brigham a sum of $10,000 in exchange for his agreement not to seek further legal action.

But even the settlement sum is replete with its own strange twist in this story. After his lawyer’s fee, Brigham found himself $6,000 richer, a not insignificant sum that someone in his position would most likely feel better about having around in the event of a rainy day. Unfortunately, ac-cording to Brigham, holding on to a sum of that size would void the long-term disability compensation he receives for his bipolar disorder (presumably he would be “earning” too much at that point to be eligible for the benefits, which he will continue to need even after these winnings dry up). In order to retain his right to the disability compensation, he will be forced to spend the money almost immediately. He says that he has considered putting it toward a collec-tion of boxer shorts for any member of the council who agrees to wear them (and only them) to future meetings but, predictably, none have stepped forward so far.

Now that Brigham’s “too soon” boxer joke has bitten the dust, he has allegedly gotten serious and decided to spend the money on a scooter instead. Although it’s a little surprising that he’s not putting it directly toward the organization of another landmark nudity event, a quick Google search shows that Boul-der does not yet have a Naked Scooter Race, and it’s conceiv-able that Brigham might simply be in the early stages of putting together just such a game-changer based on his previous naked antics. Of course, this becomes a little less certain in light of the fact that Brigham himself has never participated in any of the public nudity for which he so boldly bared his civil liberties, but by now this story is probably so far past reality’s point of no return that it is of little to no consequence anyway.

On the other side of the coin, the Boulder City Council has taken measures to ensure that something like this never hap-pens again. First of all, they have taken steps toward instituting new legislation, to the dismay of Brigham, that would prevent citizens from speaking at meetings for longer than two minutes when there is a queue of 15 or more waiting (part of what led to Brigham’s arrest was his refusal to yield the microphone). The city has also continued its vendetta against public nudity, with its next plot to ban it in the town hall setting.

So it seems in the end that Brigham may have done more harm than good. After all, before he launched his pro-nudity campaign, a bipolar man could stand in front of the city council without his pants on and walk away with $6,000 or a new scooter, depending on which day you asked him. Now, such a stand is quickly becoming grounds for arrest. Going forward from here, it looks like you really won’t be able to fight City Hall.

But maybe the outcome isn’t the point. Perhaps it’s the chase that keeps men like Brigham, self-proclaimed “activists” (his quotation marks, not mine; they appear with such persis-tence on his blog that you’d almost be fooled into reading all of this as some kind of joke) doing what they do. And if that’s the case, then it’s only a matter of time until Brigham is back at it, considering by his count he has already harangued Boulder on over 60 separate occasions. This time, though, when Brigham fought the law, he won.

Bipolar man gets naked, wins money

lettertotheeditorClarification on Editorial Board coverage of Mlyn

I write to thank The Chronicle for its coverage of Eric Mlyn’s reappointment as the Executive Director of DukeEngage. Your article and editorial bring im-portant attention to a program that has become a hallmark of Duke’s commitment to using knowledge in service to society.

I do want to clarify one point in yesterday’s edito-rial. DukeEngage is an autonomous program and as such, Dr. Mlyn reports directly to Provost Peter Lange and to me. DukeEngage and Dr. Mlyn collaborate closely with Dr. Leela Prasad, the faculty director of the Duke Center for Civic Engagement, whose broad-er mission is to strategically connect and leverage civic engagement initiatives across the University.

We now have in place both the personnel and structures to cement Duke’s role as a national leader in making civic engagement a truly integral part of its educational mission.

Duke parking problemA serious flaw in Duke’s parking system was

brought to my attention when I received a ticket to-

day; there is no way that a student can park on both East and West without breaking the rules! Take my-self, for example. I am an undergrad senior who lives off campus and away from any bus lines. It is my un-derstanding that the only sort of parking pass that I can apply for is the Blue Zone. How can there actual-ly be nowhere that I’m allowed park on East campus when half of my classes are over there? Am I really expected to park in the Blue Zone, walk 10 minutes to the bus stop, wait for the bus, ride to East and then ride back? That’s at least 40 minutes of my time for every class period I have on East! Freshmen with cars face nearly the same ordeal (to be fair, there is a visitor’s parking lot near the Bryan Center), albeit in reverse.

My ideal solution would be to have on each cam-pus a convenient short-term parking area where any Duke student would be able to park for three hours or so for free. This would provide a great deal more flexibility for all students going to class, and would be relatively easy to implement. For now though, I think I’ll just take my chances with a ticket and park on East.

The honking began first as a series of peevish, stac-cato beeps, then finally a sustained, angry drone. The grandmotherly type at the wheel of the huge

sedan right directly behind me was going ballistic. This little drama unfolded last spring at the intersection of Towerview and Science, where I was poised on my bike in the left turn lane, obeying the traffic signal, preparing to proceed first down then up the hill to-wards the School of Engineering and then make my way over to my office in Davison.

Gesticulating and raving, Grand-mother finally had enough of the cyclist impeding her progress and proceeded to clear the intersection of my presence, using the front end of her car as a bull-dozer, then darting past the oncoming traffic, turned left down Science.

I had quickly unclipped before I ended up under her wheels, and found myself somewhere in the cross-walk. I shook my head in amazement. Was the driver somehow not aware this was Bike to Work Week?

Well of course she wasn’t, nor was the majority of the sentient members of the campus at the time, I daresay.

To assign a period of phony, hollow observance to a particular cause célèbre has become a durable way of paying lip service and preaching to various choirs; to seem concerned and engaged, rather than to be. And so it goes with events like Bike to Work Week.

As a cyclist and daily bike commuter, I am struck by the disconnect between the exhortations to ride to work, and the significant risks and obstacles to doing so, at least for those who work at the Medical Center. My commute is fraught with hazards, heavy traffic, dan-gerous intersections, debris-strewn inner lanes and ag-gressive motorists. If my own experiences, the letters to the editors of local newspapers, the rants of radio personalities and a review of death and injury statistics are at all telling, the regional antipathy held towards cyclists is staggering.

The mindset is, yes bicyclists are legally entitled to their share of road, but I find these a stupid set of laws, therefore I am entitled to flout them. There is no safety in numbers either, as fellow cyclists on campus are just as apt to be clutching a latte in hand, iPod in place and either riding the wrong way or quelling the foot traffic on the sidewalk.

After surviving the trek through Durham, one’s ar-rival on campus is no guarantee of safety, as its streets are generally in poor repair (although there have been patchy, but major improvements of late), clogged with buses, delivery trucks and randomly intersected with the Brownian motion of meandering pedestrians.

I visited Portland, Oregon last year. I was a bit disap-

pointed. The city was more afflicted with the peculiarly Northwestern variant of urban blight than I had expect-ed, but Portland was nothing if not serious about bicycle commuting, and the bicycle is a legitimate means of trans-portation for a significant proportion of its citizens.

Riding a bike to work out there just seems to make sense and is supported by the city’s traffic engineering, with the wide spread installation of dedicated bike lanes and “bike boxes” at intersections. There is a robust advocacy for cycling to be found in the city’s Bicycle Transporta-tion Alliance.

The end result of all this is a pervasion of bicycle commuting and the requisite financial and social commitment into Portland’s culture and infrastructure

to a degree that I have not seen equaled in any other American city. A bellman at my hotel told me he had not been in an automobile in over ten years. I never got the impression that Portland’s bike commuters were af-fecting a pose or trying to make a statement (which I would argue is the least valid reason to ride one’s bike to work). For many out that way, there just seems to be no good reason not to.

So should the greater Duke community be urged to commute to work by bicycle? Not as circumstances dictate in the here and now. Too many of us have sto-ries, from the scary close encounter to the near-death experience. As for myself, it is a combination of conve-nience, foolhardiness and a compulsive need to ride several thousand miles a year that keeps me commut-ing on my bike to work.

But save for a select and lucky few living in close proximity to the campus, the venture is far too dan-gerous, the thoroughfares too inhospitable. Durham is not Portland, it is not Boulder, Colorado, it is not even Carrboro. Most of the time, that is a good thing. But Durham’s central roads and traffic flow present very real impediments to safe biwwcycle travel, and too many motorists regard cyclists as potential hood and grill ornaments.

As campus and medical center construction in-creases, bringing about added congestion, I don’t see any of this improving. I hope one day the culture may change, and the institutions around these parts will finally get serious about alternate forms of transpor-tation and implement the necessary funding and sys-tem-wide changes to get more commuters out of their automobiles. But until then, we’ll have to settle for Bike to Work Week.

I suppose that’s a start.
