Six out ofthe University’s 28 selective living groups were recently put on probation for failing the annual review conducted by the Office of Student Development, and the results have sparked renewed criticism and debate about the way the administration assesses selective living groups.

Just before spring break, Delta Sigma Phi, Maxwell House, Old House CC, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Nu were all put on probation by the Annual Review Committee.

The six groups on probation must meet with committee chair Benjamin Ward and create a contract stating measures they will take to improve their standing. “If the group fails to meet the conditions of probation, we recommend that that group be dissolved,” said Ward, associate dean for residential life.

However, no groups have been dissolved during the five years the review has existed. But Ward added, “Our purpose is not to dissolve but to strengthen them and to make them the best they can be.”

Ward said the committee suggested improvements in'various areas to at least a dozen additional groups.

The annual review requires living groups to compile semesterly reports on their activities in seven categories: faculty interaction, student-led programming, cultural programming, educational programming, community service, social interaction and a new category added this year, citizenship. The review was designed to ensure that the groups—which enjoy prime housing on West Campus—are giving back to the community.

OPEC raises oil production slightly The 6.3 percent production increase will not lower gasoline prices significantly appears to be well short ofwhat an-

By BRUCE STANLEY Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria

The Organi-

zation ofPetroleum Exporting Countries ignored the objections of Iran,

its second-largest member, and agreed to increase oil production, officials in Vienna said Wednesday, But the amount of new oil might not be enough to lower gasoline prices in the United States significantly.

In a rare departure from its nor-

mal quest for unanimity, ministers of the 11-nation cartel announced early Wednesday morning that nine members would raise production by 6.3 percent, or a total of 1.45 million barrels per day. That

alysts have said would be needed to curb crude oil prices, which have tripled over the past 12 months.

The Clinton administration had been lobbying for a rise of 2 million to 2.5 million barrels a day to bring down gasoline prices that in the United States have risen from below $1 a gallon just over a year ago to an average of almost $1.60.

Falah Aljibury, an industry consultant based in Alamo, Calif., said the agreement would knock off, at most, “a few cents” from the average price of unleaded gas. “I’m disappointed.... The market expected more,” he said.

move a “positive development.”

“These increases will help sustain worldwide economic growth and provide greater balance between oil supply and demand,” Clinton said in a statement.

Energy Secretary Bill Richardson has said it would take four to six weeks for the additional oil to reach U.S. markets. Summer gasoline prices, however, may remain high because of extremely low gasoline stocks. Refiners may not be able to build up inventories in time for the high-demand summer driving season, energy analysts have said.

Bush plans $5 billion literacy program

By CLIFFORD LEVY

N.Y. Times News Service

SOMERSET, N. J. Mooring traditionally Democratic issues to his agenda, Texas Gov. George W. Bush proposed a $5 billion program Tuesday to address what he termed a national literacy crisis among children.

Bush said the 5-year program would provide grants to states to test reading in kindergarten and first grade, train teachers and provide tutoring. He soberly contrasted the nation’s economic success with its edu-

cational failings, and declared that he would bring the same improvements in reading on the national level that he said he had achieved in Texas.

He said every child should know how to read by third grade, vowing that states failing to increase student performance would lose federal money. “There is nothing

more fundamental than teaching our children how to read,” Bush said in a speech Tuesday afternoon in Reston, Va., the first in a series of events this week intended to spotlight his commitment to improving education.

“America must confront a national emergency,” he said. “Too many of our children cannot read. In the highest poverty schools—l want you to hear this statistic—in the highest poverty schools in America, 68 percent of fourth-graders could not read at a basic level in 1998.”

The Bush plan was quickly dismissed by aides to the Democratic contender, Vice President A1 Gore.

They sought to shift attention to Bush’s tax cut proposal, saying that it would leave no money for new education initiatives. Gore has called for $ll5 billion in new federal financing for education over 10 years.

GPSC looks at parking, rights

By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

The Graduate and Professional Student Council received several pieces of bad news Tuesday night, as members heard about the upcoming parking shortage and a setback for GPSC’s graduate student charter and bill ofrights.

Representatives discussed the parking-related consequences ofthe upcoming dorm construction in the current location of the Ocean parking lot. Business student Scott Keane, GPSC’s representative on the University’s Committee on Facilities and the Environment, informed the council that postgraduates would be short about 500 parking spaces next fall.

“Everything that is now on Wannamaker Drive... is now going to be undergraduate parking,” Keane said, adding that several new lots would be constructed, primarily for the use ofFuqua and law school students who would otherwise have no viable parking options.

Although construction on the new dorm will begin immediately following the May 14 commencement, parking will not become a problem until undergraduates return from summer vacation in late August. By this time, Keane said, at least one of the new parking lots will likely be complete.

However, the new lots were not enough to soothe GPSC’s upset stomach. “It’s not a complete shock,” said GPSC President Tomalei Vess, a fifthyear graduate student in zoology. “It was our fear the whole time that the undergraduates would take over those RT 10t5.... It doesn’t make sense to us that the undergraduates who use their cars mostly on the weekends get those spots and [graduate students] park far away.”

Parking was not the only issue discussed which failed to go over smoothly, however. Vess reported that the Executive Committee of Graduate Faculty did not respond well to the graduate student charter and bill of rights proposed by GPSC earlier this calendar year.

“We discussed [the issue] at the ECGF and I was badgered for an hour,” Vess said. “The general feeling was that when you state a bill ofrights you’re putting students on one side and faculty on the other side. I was surprised there was that much contention on it.” She added that she suspected the document as written would be difficult to pass.

TWO VOLUNTEERS load a truck with pre-prepared lunches to distribute through Meals on Wheels,

High gas prices challenge volunteers

By TOBY COLEMAN The Chronicle

John Shertzer leaned against his car, taking a break from loading two coolers filled with prepacked lunches that he was preparing to drive to some of Durham’s neediest residents. After briefly considering rising gas prices, he said he would keep on driving for Meals on Wheels.

“People need to eat,” Shertzer said.

All seven Meals on Wheels volunteers interviewed in the parking lot of the charity’s headquarters in Northgate Presbyterian Church said they would not cut back their commitment, despite the increased cost of a fill-up. Volunteers use their own cars and are not reimbursed for gas.

Meals on Wheels Volunteer Coordinator Patricia Powell said spiraling gas prices have not caused current drivers to cut back on their commitment or quit altogether.

But, she said, they are running into difficulties finding new volunteers to fill seven unassigned delivery routes. “[Now] when we advertise for volunteers, we get a lot of phone calls asking if you use your own car and if we reimburse you for the miles,” she said. Normally, Powell said, the people who ask such questions never volunteer.

Across the Triangle, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle in Raleigh is grappling with its own struggles as the result of rising gas prices. Executive Director Jill

Bullard said that by February, the charity had already exceeded the amount it budgeted for gas costs during the first three months ofthe year.

The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle operates eight trucks that take food donations from restaurants to organizations that feed the hungry, such as Meals on Wheels.

For an organization with vehicles that average 302 miles a day, rising gas prices can cause serious concern.

“It’s pretty scary,” Bullard said. “We’re watching [pricesl, but we’re not planning on cutting back service.” In an attempt to stave off a budget crunch, Bullard said her group will begin a direct mail fund-raising push in July.

Meals on Wkeels volunteers all have different takes on rising prices. “If you think about it, [oil industry experts] are projecting that gas prices have actually gone down since 1980,” said Dr. Curtis Thigpen.

For some, rising gas prices have meant hard choices.

Dana Mackert said she and her husband have stopped using the family car, a 1988 Jeep Cherokee, to get around.

Instead, she walks, and her husband uses the bus.

Volunteer Alan Crist said he thinks about the cost, but like his colleagues, he will not let increased prices at the pump affect his commitment to the charity, “I’ll keep doing it,” Crist said. “But I have thought about getting a more fuel-efficient car.”

Researchers study process for suppression of HIV replication

Results indicate that “non-killer” CDS cells—when added to infected CD4 cells—can help stop HIV in its tracks

By MEREDITH YOUNG The Chronicle

Adding to the wealth of knowledge that researchers have accumulated since the discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, scientists at the Medical Center have helped discover the function of a subset of immune system cells bearing the receptor CDS, which plays an important role in resisting HIV, Researchers found that these CDS cells can sometimes help suppress the virus’ replication and keep some patients in an asymptomatic state.

HIV infects CD4 cells, which are white blood cells of the T-lymphocyte family and cousins of CDS cells. Scientists have long known that CDS cells can kill infected lymphocytes and stop HIV from replicating. In the 1980s, researchers at the University of 'California-San Francisco discovered that CDS cells could slow HIV replication without killing infected cells, but the mechanism by which this happened was unknown. “[The UCSF researchers] were the first to show that there is a non-cytolytic activity of CDS cells,” said Michael Greenberg, assistant professor of experimental surgery. “We have shown how that happens.”

Non-cytolytic, or “non-killer,” CDS cells release beta-chemokines—chemicals that help block entry of HIV into CD4 cells—but the activity of these chemicals cannot explain the HIV-suppressive activity of CDS cells.

As the head investigator on a study at the Center for AIDS Research, Greenberg helped demonstrate that CDS cells operate on infected lymphocytes. “We have now identified another way in which CDS cells protect against HIV disease, and they do it with cells that are already carrying the virus,” he said.

The team’s research, reported in the March 28 issue ofthe Proceedings ofthe National Academy of Science, suggests that “non-killer” CDS cells can turn off virus production and expression in infected CD4 cells. Although the researchers have not discovered the exact mechanism, they formulated two hypotheses about the way this “dimming switch,” as Greenberg called it, works.

“It is not entirely clear if a molecule on the CDS cell attaches to CD4 cells or if CDS cells secrete a factor, or both,” he said.

Researchers used blood samples from asymptomatic patients at the Duke Infectious Disease Clinic to study this variability, often dependent on the activity of CDS cells. They focused on two of the most resistant patients. “Despite many years of infection, we’ve found very potent viral suppressive activity,” Greenberg said.

Usually after the virus enters the human body, it has an affinity for T-lymphocytes carrying the CD4 receptor.

Viral genetic material is copied into the host DNA, and the virus then takes over the genetic function ofthe cell. It directs

the host to produce copies of HIV that eventually travel into the bloodstream and infect other CD4 cells. The number of CD4 cells, therefore, is reduced as a result of HlV’s presence.

An experimental system, developed by research associate Georgia Tomaras, allowed researchers to track HlV’s effects through a single viral life cycle and predict when the non-cytolytic activity ofCDS cells will be most effective. With-

in the first two to six hours, HIV entry into CD4 cells has already been completed. In addition, reverse transcription of the viral genetic material is finished by 10 to 14 hours. Finally, expression of early HTV genes occurs mostly between 14 and 48 hours, “The timeline tells us that CDS cells can suppress HIV after it has already

Duke hosts national, international journalism fellows

By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

Journalists from countries including Nigeria, Kosovo and Japan arrived at the University

March 19 to study democracy and the media as part of the University’s

Media

Program.

Fellows

The program, run by the DeWitt Wallace Center for Communications and Journalism, brings together American journalists, international reporters, editors and others involved in the media five times each year.

Ten journalists arrived last week and will remain at the University until April 14, joining three who are spending the entire academic year on campus. Two more will spend a week at the University within the next month.

Ken Rogerson, the research director for the DeWitt Wallace Center, said the program is the

most far-reaching of its kind.

“We have more international journalists than any other similar program in the United States,” he said.

The program aims to allow its participants to discuss and reflect on the role of the media in a democracy through a series of seminars, said Program Coordinator Laurie Bley. “At the same time, they interact with each other,” Bley said. “They get to spend time together talking about challenges they face as journalists.” She added that some journalists who met during the program had gone on to produce articles together.

Ibrahim Gashi, the news editor for the Kosova Information Center in Kijeva, Kosovo, said he has enjoyed the program so far. “The most interesting part of the program is some of the sessions we have,” he said. “It’s amazing to see how diverse

OPEC schedules June meeting to re-review oil market from page 2

OPEC Secretary General Rilwanu Lukman ofNigeria confirmed Wednesday morning that nine members would revert to higher levels of production that prevailed before April 1,1999.

He said OPEC would hold an extraordinary meeting in Vienna June 21 to review oil markets and adjust output if warranted.

Iran, the No. 2 OPEC oil producer, refused to endorse the action, saying the Organization of Petroleum

Exporting Countries should not be a “rubber stamp.”

The agreement also excludes Iraq, which never was part ofthe original production cuts last year that sent

prices surging.

“I believe that OPEC remains as united as ever,” Lukman told reporters. “We have differences between one OPEC country and the rest.”

Bijan Namdar Zangeneh, Iran’s oil minister, told reporters he believed production should be increased by less than 1 million barrels a day and objected to at-

tempts by others to push through an agreement to boost output by some 1.7 million barrels. While Zangeneh did not mention other OPEC countries by name, Saudi Arabia—OPEC’s leading producer—had led the drive to raise output as much as 7 percent from official quotas, or by 1.7 million barrels.

“Our difference is on principle and not on merely a few barrels,” Zangeneh told reporters after the meeting broke up. “In my view, OPEC is not an organization to rubber stamp a decision already made.”

Artist discusses organic symbolism Campus Council

By MOLLY JACOBS

wanted big name

The Chronicle

Israeli artist Uri Katzenstein—best known for his outlandish use of atypical artistic materials—spoke yesterday at the Center for Documentary Studies. He allocated the majority of his lecture to a discussion of his artistic style.

“I most commonly use a lot of organic material,” said Katzenstein. “Urine, pus and blood are common. I use meats, such as salami, as small conceptual containers because they create a dichotomy by penetrating the body both sexually and as food.”

His early works use mainly building materials—fire extinguishers, mailboxes, carving boards—and self-created machines to create a “sound environment.”

“When I first started, I wanted to be like a one-man sex machine band,” he said. “I liked to play with rhythms and build with synthesizers.”

In more recent years, he has transcended from installation to performance art. “The only good advice I got in art school was to put myself in my work,” he said.

“Today, my work centers around my body and tries to feed on different... ways of producing, enhancing and

creating a groupspeak.”

One ofKatzenstein’s favorite pieces depicts Lika, the Russian dog sent into space. Protesting animal cruelty, he uses vials of urine, dumbbells and a hound’s profile to send his message. “Animals are friendly creatures,” he said. “I express the humanization of animal through the point of view of the individual.”

Some of Katzenstein’s artistic tools are difficult to store and present. “I have one piece where I use a dead shark with his head cut off I have to keep it in my own freezer and then take it out right before it is time to show,” he said.

This has greatly displeased at least one art collector: “I got a call from a collector who was really mad one time.

One ofthe vials in the blood pieces had burstall over his white sofa. I just made him another one, but he was angry.”

Katzenstein’s political motives and beliefs have driven much of his work. In protest of fascism, he constructed a chair in the shape of a swastika.

URIKATZENSTEIN, a controversial Israeli performance artist, shared his personal philosophy on art Tuesday.

“A person in this chair could be seen as a fascist as himself, but there is another side that creates a dichotomy” he said. ‘To show how we must fight back, I often stand in the chair to show a defeat.”

This strong political aspect of his art is not always accepted by Israelis. Once, when the Israeli prime minister came to a show in the Israel Museum ofArt, his bodyguards and the museum curator stood in front of the chair to keep him from seeing it.

Katzenstein’s most recent work, “The Family of Brothers,” can be seen at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life. He is the first recipient of the Evans Israel Academic and Cultural Residency Fellows Program, a foundation aimed at increasing the exchange of arts and letters between Duke and Israel,

the opening act is until he signs the band’s $35,000 contract.

Procuring a big act was Campus Council’s top priority this year.

“It’s the entire goal ofthe event to bring a band that students will enjoy. [But] no matter what band we [bring], we will never please everyone...,” he said. “We had more money this year, and we wanted a band with lots of name recognition and a band that people enjoy listening to.”

This year, Devisetty said, Campus Council solicited input from students in choosing a group. After compiling preference lists from all the quad councils, Campus Council pursued several groups—including The Roots, Live, Third Eye Blind and Tonic—before settling on the Indigo Girls. The other groups were either booked or did not want to play at Duke, Devisetty explained.

In 1997, the group backed out of an April senior concert in Cameron Indoor Stadium after canceling an entire leg of its tour. Because a contract had not been signed when the band canceled in March, the Duke University Union and East Campus Council were left scrambling to find a replacement. More recently, the band canceled a tour ofAustralia while Indigo Girl Amy Ray underwent surgery.

Campus Council Vice President Jim Lazarus said he was not terribly worried about losing the concert at the last minute.

“Most of the reasons they’ve canceled aren’t anything we can worry about...,” said the Trinity junior. “It’s a concern, but not one that’s standing out in my mind.”

Booming economy boosts financial aid ENDOWMENT from page 1 order to eliminate the significant risk in these stocks,

DUMAC sells the stocks almost immediately after the

“lock-up,” or required length ofholding, expires.

McDonald’s view of the money is typical of many investors who have watched the economy for many years. For example, although he is excited by the gains, he and his staffrefer to the Internet money as ‘ether’ because of its volatility during the time when they cannot sell it. “This period of the ’9os has not been a normal period,” he said. “We cross our fingers, hold on tight and hope that it continues.”

The growing endowment is already increasing the resources available for financial aid. “As we succeed in the capital campaign, resources for financial aid have increased accordingly,” said Jim Belvin, director of fi-

nancial.aid.

Belvin added that he has also seen the economy cause a slight decline in the number of students receiving financial aid. “There’s no question we’ve seen an impact. This office is impacted by any change in family financial circumstances,” he said. “We have seen many of our families do very well in this economy over the last nine years.”

Although the economy has clearly benefited Duke students and parents, many departments and faculty at the University have had to deal with smaller problems that come with such a bountiful infusion of money.

For one, a few high school seniors and many recent college graduates are skipping the option of further education and jumping right in to the workplace, which for the short term at least can be much more lucrative than sacrificing four years or more in the ivory tower.

The graduate school and the medical school have recently seen decline in applications over the last years, an occurrence they attribute partially to the economy. “People can take a bachelor’s degree now and... go out and take a job that potentially brings very big rewards,” said Lew Siegel, dean of the graduate school.

He said that the current high-tech and entrepreneurial society sometimes makes further education look like a luxury. “This particular time represents an opportunity that is so rare for a big return that if you don’t go you may never go again,” he said. And while almost every other sector ofthe economy has stretched to find workers, the academic job market remains tight, he said. “People see this even on entering graduate school and say, ‘Look, do I really want to do this?’”

The computer science department has been hit particularly hard.

“It’s hard to get graduate students to come in the first place because they can make huge salaries and get great bonuses from Internet start-ups,” said Richard Lucic, associate chairman of the department.

“A lot of people who would be eligible for graduate school are by-passing it and going straight into industry.” He added that many of his students, who get an average of four to five job offers before graduation, begin working at a salary double that of their senior professor in college. The department has tried to prevent losses by building partnerships with companies that can offer “collaboration where these students can do things that are as exciting in school as in industry.”

He also noted that the problem of not having enough people to fill positions is only going to get worse as companies hire the people who might someday teach a forthcoming generation of programmers and computer scientists. “The more enlightened companies realize that if you hire away the best people n °w, that in ten years you won’t have anyone to educate the people after, and they’re going to have serious Problems in the future,” he said.

One school not having any problems filling its seats has been the business school. “Clearly as the economy has expanded and grown, so has the demand for said Dan Nagy, assistant dean and director of ProSram ah the Fuqua School of Business, “TV h s been a very sustained growth market... but this is Probably the longest sustained growth market and job m arket that I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

Although Nagy said that the heyday for business consulting—an area many undergraduates and MBAs ave recently entered—is passing, other areas such as banking and e-commerce “show no signs of oppmg.... [lt’s] a good time to be a college grad and ave a technical degree or an MBA.”

The composition of the committee itself has also been the subject of debate.

“It’s a little bit strange that part of the review board is made up of students who come from the groups,” said McMillan, the Maxwell House president.

Ward said the ARC was designed to be representative of the entire student body and thus drew its student members from Duke Student Government, Campus Council and the Undergraduate Judicial Board—without regard to

McGinnis of Phi Psi raised other questions of committee bias. “There’s definitely a stigma attached to every fraternity on this campus,” he said. He

added that the committee might be more objective if it did not know the name of the selective house while reviewing it.

Group leaders also said the ARC should ensure groups have actually held the events they report. “Several groups... joke about how they embellish their reports,” said IFC president and Kappa Alpha Order member Ken Collins, Trinity ’99. “There’s really no checks on that.”

Although others said they had the same concern, Ward said the committee did sometimes verify reported events.

Goodbye, ACES lady

Shifting

course registration to an online system is a move the University had to make. The new Student Information Services and Systems has the potential to streamline what has always been a stressful experience. Although moving to such a system makes a lot of sense, there are several problems with the system’s implementation.

Courses are listed first by department, then by course title.

Critical information —such as the times classes meet, the days ofthe week classes take place and the professor who is teaching the section—are hidden until the third screen. This gives students who are casually browsing an unfamiliar department a poor sense of departmental offerings. Unfortunately, this web page layout discourages students from exploring for hidden gems. Students need a system that lets them scan for the information they want with a minimal amount of wasted time.

There are lots of little quirks that could augment the current system to make it more user-friendly. For example, many courses on the new browser lack detailed synopses. Students rely on this quick-hitting information for their course selection decisions, but the registrar should encourage professors to provide these essential snippets. Also, students could take advantage of a browser that is searchable by time of day and by professor.

Any time new software is implemented, there will be concerns about errors in the new technology. Mistakes will inevitably be part of the new SISS system as well. However, there is no reason to believe that this new software is more prone to errors than even the reliable ACES lady. Hopefully, students will show a little patience and work with officials from the Office ofInformation Technology to optimize the program. So far, OIT has been flexible and staffers seem to understand that the SISS system is still a work in progress. If everything continues to go well, this era of cooperation will last.

Certain drawbacks to this software are highly specific to a particular group. Students will still have to wake up early in the morning to register if they want to take full advantage of their window. Although it is safe to assume that every student owns a phone, many do not own computers. This problem is exacerbated for students who live off campus, as their connections are generally slower and more prone to disconnection.

As with any new policy or system, the University must consider the implication on all its members and work to ameliorate any inequalities.

SISS has great potential to improve student at life at Duke. It will be very convenient to check grades online, and the new system allows students to find out ahead oftime if they will be blocked from registering. Although this system has a lot of potential, administrators must continue to work through the details to optimize this critical student service.

Judge gay marriages without religious prejudice The letter to the editor

written by Trinity freshman

Adam Stokes and Trinity senior Will Grimsley conceming gay marriage was so

their lives, to be heterosexual. This is contrary to my personal experience, since my heterosexuality seemed to develop quite naturally and was at no point a choice that I made during my life, Their assertions that our government is inextricably interrelated with God go against everything that this nation stands for.

The founders of our country were fleeing from govemments that were controlled by religions, and although they saw religion as an important component of their lives, they understood the dangers of a nation that lacked separation of church and state, One of the most astonishing aspects of this letter was their invocation of “the freedom to religious expression.”

They are clearly blind to the fact that freedom of religion entails freedom to believe in any religion—or no religion at all—not just Biblical Christianity.

We are still fighting the battle against racism and sexism, and we are making some slight gains.

However, the human rights of homosexuals have consistently been ignored.

This is the next civil rights movement, and it seems to me that Christians like Stokes and Grimsley should attempt to practice tolerance and kindness instead of self-righteous judgment and the condemnation of others based on religious prejudice.

reprehensible that I had to seriously think about the possibility that it was a joke.

What evidence do these two undergraduates have that “one’s sexual orientation is not an inherent trait or characteristic...’7 If they can provide conclusive evidence to support their statement, they are one step ahead of the scientific community, where the underlying reasons behind homosexuality are hotly debated.

The letter goes on to state that sexual orientation “is a choice made by the individual.” This statement implies that these two individuals Cornelia Simons chose, at some point during Trinity ’96 for referenced letter, see http:! www.chronicle.duke.edu!chronicle 12000103128110Prograymarriage.html /

Increased security does not solve cluster problems It was 4:20 in the morning in the Perkins public computer cluster, and the IBMs were beginning to make students cry. At the same time, the Macs were making people spew strings of expletives and kick desks and the printers were causing my fellow

undergraduates to literally

pull out their hair.

I saw all of these incidents happen in a matter of a few minutes the other night. If any ofthe few Duke students without printers or personal computers are reading this, they will know exactly what I am talking about.

The quality of our school’s public computing facilities has been too low for too long, and it is time for our administration to address this huge problem.

Not only does the Main

West Campus cluster have too few computers—especially IBM-compatibles—but if a student somehow comes across a vacant computer, it is generally because the floppy disk drive doesn’t work!

This causes constant lines of frustrated students who simply want to print a paper.

In my four years at Duke, I had to sprint three times to a cluster in Edens Quadrangle to hopefully find a working computer and printer before a paper deadline.

To make matters worse, the University recently installed a new security system in the clusters.

While attempting to log in to a cluster computer a few nights ago, I had two computers completely freeze up on me and one other undergo the DOS version of

a schizophrenic meltdown before also freezing up. In the seat next to me, an extremely angry classmate desperately tried to recover a captured document before

having to log out and lose the file forever.

Instead of narrowing access to Duke’s precious public computing facilities, all the new log-on system does is cause more opportu-

nities for problems with the already unreliable cluster computers.

I realize that the “why are we paying $32,000 a year for this shabby treatment” argument is overused and childish, but in this case, it just makes too much sense to not think about.

Staff-student relations hurt by insensitive employees Yesterday evening, I had the good fortune to meet some of my students at the Marketplace for some food, conversation and study. The ’place was pretty full, so I ended up having some time to stand around and marvel at the way this location has changed since I arrived at Duke as an undergraduate

over 10 years ago.

An amazing array of food and drink was spread out for students to enjoy, staff were

preparing and serving food to the music coming out of the

sound system, and chalkboards were proclaiming the wonders of Carolina basketball and the demise of the Duke team.

Wait. What? True Blue? In that color? I must be too tired.

No—that’s what it was! The familiar, Carolina crossed-NC symbol? On a board in our Marketplace? Shift to the right—another board with the Final Four bracket and another derogatory remark about Duke’s team. Unbelievable.

There are constant complaints that Duke students and staff do not interact much (if at all) and that when they do it is usually characterized by rude comments, usually coming from the students.

In this case, however, I certainly don’t think the students—especially the members of our basketball team who eat there and who have devoted a significant part of their past year working to fulfill and greatly exceed the

expectations we who work and go to school here had-should have to look at this “artwork” put up by people who are supposedly members of the Duke community.

Certainly not within the walls of Duke itself. Many thanks to the woman who “cleaned up” at least one of the signs when it was pointed out.

I hope the folks working over on East can figure out some better way to communicate with the students.

Getting rid of the “us vs. them” attitudes—for both students and staff—is the first step to improving student-staff relations.

all of these policies that come down from on high, people we (especially freshmen) are supposed to trust ifwe have problems.

They’re supposed to be a combination between a counselor, a clergyman and a policeman. Oh, that’s great—l’m going to feel really good about approaching a priest who I know is a policeman to ask for forgiveness for a crime I’ve committed.

Put it another way—if I’m inebriated, and a freshman, the last person I want to see, no matter my situation, is my RA, because then I’m in trouble. Sure, you’re supposed to get amnesty, but the RA can’t grant that—only a dean or the Undergraduate Judicial Board can. And my RA gets in trouble if she doesn’t bust me. She can only react to the results of a drinking binge; she cannot be standing there beside me sipping a non-alcoholic drink if she is on call. If I’ve never drank

before, then Fm left by myself (with whoever is pressuring me to drink) to decide whether or not I should shoot the Tequila.

This sounds like a really bright idea so far—but there’s more.

RAs who enforce the policy breach the trust of their residents, and those who don’t break the policy. This is a horrible arrangement that provides only danger for residents or the RA, or in some cases, both.

It is clearly time to rethink the alcohol policy above everything else. My suggestions would be for the University to begin learning about alcohol before choosing to learn experientially about it in a hazard-filled environment, where the dangers to ourselves also include our in-house priest/police force.

Computer cluster reforms shut out public use A Stone, A Leaf, A Door Jason Wagner When you see the things that Duke’s administration supports, sometimes you just have to ask yourself, “What were they thinking?” Such was the case when I walked into the computer cluster in Perkins Library on the Saturday after spring break.

As most everyone who uses public computer clusters knows by now, our friends at the Office of Information Technology have created a new log-in process for all public computers consisting of typing in the first part of our e-mail address, followed by our password.

The ostensible reason behind the changes was to increase security and—get this—to “make computer

use more efficient.” Now, I don’t know about the highnsk world of computer espionage and intrigue that the OIT staff is faced with on a daily basis, but I do know that it takes me at least two more minutes to check my e-mail each time I try to use a public computer cluster.

When all I want to do is log into telnet, but I can’t because a public computer can’t find my “roaming prohle,” I really wonder how efficient the University’s network is becoming.

The friendly green card on top of the computer monitors also informs you that you can no longer save an ything on the hard drives and that if you leave your computer alone for 20 minutes it will automatieally log you out. Unless you beg someone to touch the Keyboard every so often while you’re away sipping on uat latte, you can say sayonara to that astrophysics

Search project. this “efficiency” continues, I might start siding

with those oh-so-scary hackers myself and supporting the denial-of-service attacks that have left the computer-dependent world shaking in its boots.

But then again, maybe not, since OIT has a tidy record of my exact location every time I log in. Sure, it is no more big brotherish than our DukeCard—which records our every purchase, entrance and exit—but at some point you have to say enough is enough.

Seriously though, the first thing I thought of when I learned of the new log-in system was all the times I have used the clusters late at night to print out a paper, and encountered a fifth-grader and her mother working on a paper about photosynthesis. I might have had to wait a little longer for a computer, but it really

.when it comes to allowing...

Durham residents on campus to get a few crumbs from our table we kick the public to the curb. ..

,

didn’t matter. Knowledge was being furnished; work

was being produced.

A few hardy souls come out from Durham into the Gothic Wonderland to use what should be a public convenience. But if they came in the last week—the unemployed searching for better jobs, the high school student surfing the Internet and the fifth-grader trying to type up a neat paper about chlorophyll—all had to turn around and go home. They can always try to sign up for a 30-minute block on one of the word processors at the Durham Public Library—nevermind that some of their classmates are surfing the web and typing their term papers at their own convenience at home.

Clearly, OIT must not have communicated with anyone but their own liability-reducing, disaster-predicting, pocket-protector wearing peons when making their decision. (I’m already convinced the world, or at least the United States, will be run by these guys in a few decades, so I should probably bail out soon after

this column is published.)

It’s probably one of the biggest public relations snafus we’ve made in a long time, excepting our hospital’s malpractice suits. Sure, we invest in Durham and win grants for community development, but when it comes to allowing real-life genuine Durham residents on campus to get a few crumbs from our table, we kick the public to the curb. As Rob Carter, director of systems administration for OIT, said, “You don’t want the general public to be able to abuse [the system].” He may have said, “abuse,” but he might as well have said, “use.”

In fairness, OIT will allow limited-access .guest memberships that will be made available to' the public someday. Unfortunately, this fact seems to' be a secret that OIT would like to keep to' itself, given that no information has been posted in the computer labs, alerting people to this possibility.

That’s enough to make me a neo-Luddite right there. In a society where there is considerable evidence' that a significant number of our children are being isolated from the benefits of an Internet society wT hich then expects them to compete with those privileged enough to own a computer, the University can do better than this.

In the last few days*. I have noticed I don’t have to wait in line for a computer anymore and the printers seem to work slightly more efficiently. I just wish I could still see that fifth-grader patiently typing out her paper on photosynthesis again.

Duke baseball team.

However, the Blue Devils suffered a setback yesterday, losing to Virginia Commonwealth 6-4 at Jack Coombs Field. According to Duke coach Bill Hillier, though, the loss should only prove to be a small bump in the road for a team on its way up.

“We were still in the ballgame in the late innings today and with a hit here or there we could have won the thing,” Hillier said. “We just couldn’t get it done. I don’t think it was because we didn’t compete. I just think it took us a little bit of time to get going today.”

A consensus first team AllAmerica and recipient of almost every player of the year honor, Martin averaged 18.9 points and 9.7 rebounds with 107 blocked shots in 31 games.

No. 3 Duke battles streaky UNC in ACC grudge match By 808 WELLS The Chronicle

The Carolina women’s lacrosse team is like a hotel shower.

They’re usually pretty good, but boy can they turn cold on you in a hurry.

Fetzer Field

But this is the same team that was embarrassed 13-5 by the Dukes of James Madison. They also lost to upstart Boston University 7-4, which is better known for its annual hockey Beanpot tournament than for its lacrosse excellence. So, when No. 3 Duke (5-2, 0-1) heads to Fetzer Field tonight at 7 p.m. for Duke-UNC Take One, it will be anybody’s guess which Tar Heel squad will show up.

Part of the reason for the Heels’ inconsistency this season can be attributed to the fact that they are a very young team. Eight of their top 15 players are freshmen and sophomores, and their main offensive weapon, Kellie Thompson, is a sophomore.

What is known, however, is how important this contest is for both clubs. A Duke win would keep the Blue Devils in the hunt to claim at least a share of the regular season title, while a loss could send them spi-

“Last year’s game definitely plays on pur mind,” North Carolina coach Jenny Slingluff said. “But Duke had a great team.

Tar Heels’ Final Four berth leaves Duke fans confused

It’s time to put differences aside and root for the Tar Forget about what UNC has done for the ACC, its Heels—their success is good for the struggling ACC Final Four berth reminds us what could have been We’re never going to live this one down.

So what’s different? battle with the best of conferences like the Pac 10, which placed four teams into Why not jump on the growing bandwagon of Duke fans committed to seeing the field of 64 that were all ousted by anyone but the Tar Heels win this year’s the Elite Eight.

For starters, there’s something more team that was considered on the bubimportant than Duke vs. UNC right ble three weeks ago following its loss now, and it’s the fact that the ACC is to Wake can now be contending for a title.

It must have been a dull March day in hell, and Satan—bored with standard evils like war, hate and AT&T commercials—decided he would try something new, just for kicks.

Then it struck him: the perfect plan.

Get UNC in the Final Four. The Tar Heels are an eight seed who have struggled all season. But in the wackiest tournament in my lifetime, UNC has a legitimate national championship shot.

Friday night was the crudest of evenings for Duke fans. First, they watched their beloved Blue Devils fall to Florida. That hurt a lot, but it was the devil who twisted the knife a few hours later.

Just as the pain was starting to go away, Duke fans flipped their television sets back on, and to their shock and dismay, UNC beat Tennessee.

The Heels had somehow advanced further than the Blue Devils, but what was worse, all North Carolina needed to do was beat Tulsa for a trip to the Final Four.

The Tar Heels obliged, and Satan smiled.

I’ll admit that some sick, twisted part of me finds this kind of funny. The Heels were bashed all season long, and now they’re in the Final Four. The day before the NCAA tournament began, The News and Observer of Raleigh ran a column that said UNC had no business being in the tournament. I guess

they were wrong.

But the initial perverse joy is gone, and now I’m being petty and jealous.

If Carolina beats Florida Saturday, I will mope. I will sit motionless on my commons room couch, just shaking my

head and mumbling profanities.

People say I should cheer for the Heels, for their success demonstrates ACC muscle.

But I can’t bring myself to do it.

Screw the conference, what about my needs?

As I look at the final Four teams, I get upset. I know Duke exceeded all expectations by having the season it did, but looking at the brackets, there

could have been more. Much more.

Michigan State is the only team left worth a damn, so you can be assured the Spartans are the only team I’ll be cheering for this weekend.

Am I being a typical whiny Duke student?

Yes I am.

But it’s not my fault. The devil made me do it.
