Donations create 6 endowed chairs

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle In preparation for the University’s annual Bass program dinner, officials announced the creation of six new endowed chairs and named five professors to previously created positions. One ofthe new chairs was also filled.

As part ofthe Bass Program for Excellence in Undergraduate Education, the donors each gave just over $1 million, and the program subsidized the remaining $375,000 needed to create an endowed chair.

“I think the giving ofyour money and your time to the university you attended is the most significant way you can give back for the experience so formative in my life, and to help ensure the same type of experience for the next generation...said James Vincent, engineering ’6l, who created the new professorship that was just filled.

The program was created in 1996 by a $lO million gift from Anne and Robert Bass, and it has been an impor-

tant selling tool for The Campaign for Duke, which places an emphasis on creating additional endowed chairs because the prestige of a named position can help attract and retain top professors. “The Bass Program is critically important because it recognizes the combination of qualities in our faculty which we... value at Duke: excellence in scholarship and excellence in teaching,” said Provost Peter Lange.

The new $1,125 million gifts include: The Bishop-MacDermott Family Professorship, created by Archer and Sandie Bishop; their daughter Kristin MacDermott, Trinity ’9O, and son-in-law; and their son, Trinity sophomore Thompson Bishop. The Bishops have served on the Parents Committee, and Sandie Bishop is a member of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens Advisory Board.

Lilly Library staff consider letting users take out videos

Renowned flautist and

It’s hard to watch a laugh-out-loud movie in a chilly library carrel. And depending on the results of a Lilly Library survey, undergraduates might not have to, come fall.

Officials at the East Campus library are currently reviewing the circulation policies governing its rich video collection, trying to achieve a balance of letting students comfortably access the 9,000 videos while trying to maintain the pricey collection.

Currently, undergraduates are allotted only three hours for their strictly inbuilding use of all videos. Faculty and graduate students, on the other hand, can take out the videos for 24 hours. All viewers must stay in the library to watch the rare, expensive or out-of-print videos, which can only be checked out for three hours at a time.

But officials might extend the current circulation periods to either overnight circulation of most videos, a five-hour period for any viewer or a 24hour circulation period for all users, essentially ending the in-house viewing requirement.

Geologist discusses radioactive waste, page

To gain student, faculty and staff input on potential revisions to the policy, the library has made a questionnaire available

at the library’s entrance and online at www.lib.duke.edu/lilly/video_survey.html.

The survey began last week, and the library will continue to accept responses until April 15.

Jane Agee, film and video librarian at Lilly, hoped that the survey will generate other suggestions. “We want to know what encourages a student to bring a video back, how the student uses the video, how often he or she uses it and for what purpose—whether it is for research, for reserve viewing or for fun,” she said.

After April 15, Lilly’s staff will compile responses and make a recommendation to library administrators. Any changes to the policy will likely be instituted in the fall, perhaps following a trial period.

Many undergraduates agree that the library should alter its circulation policy, although there is some divergence about exactly how to change it.

“If professors plan ahead and put certain videos on reserve, then the library should be able to lend the non-reserved See

On U.S. soil, WASHINGTON Juan Miguel Gonzalez said Thursday he was “truly impatient” to reclaim his son Elian, but his hopes for an orderly transfer of custody were dimmed when government negotiations with the six-year-old Cuban boy’s Miami relatives broke down.

The father declared his love for son Elian and chastised those who are trying “to obtain political advantage” from the custody battle over the shipwreck survivor.

Ex-prisoner tells of horrors in Cuba Armando Valladares, who was a political prisoner in Cuba for 22 years, denounced Fidel Castro and all dictatorships during his speech Thursday night.

By ANYA SOSTEK The Chronicle

The soles on a pair of large black boots are what

Armando Valladares remembers when he thinks back to his trial at age 22. The boots belonged to the judge in the case, who sat through the trial reading a comic book with his feet up on his desk and then sentenced Valladares to 30 years as a Cuban political prisoner.

Valladares’ crime, as he told an audience of about 40 last night, was refusing to post a card on his desk that said that he supported a communist government.

He spent 22 years in prison before a special request by then-French president Francois Mitterand freed him in October 1982.

Since then, he has written the book Against All. Hope and served as U.S. special ambassador to the United Nations.

Last night’s speech was hosted by the CubanAmerican Undergraduate Student Association, Amnesty International and La Unidad Latina and sponsored by a wide range of University departments and campus organizations.

Valladares spoke in Spanish and through an interpreter during the nearly two-hour speech. He stressed the evils of a dictatorship, regardless of any of its positive outcomes.

“All of the dictatorships are the same—to characterize that some are worse than others is a mistake,” he said. “If we are going to justify the dictatorship because of all the schools and hospitals Castro built, then we have to justify Hitler, Stalin and Pinochet because they also built schools and hospitals. How do you justify that when a Cuban finds anything that can float, they will leave Cuba?”

Paramount in Valladares’ critique of the Cuban dictatorship were his stories of life as a political prisoner. Stating that, “I am not the exception, there are thousands of prisoners that have stories more dramatic than mine,” he reeled off a series of gruesome anecdotes.

With

advancing technology and the increasing need for convenience, cellular phone use has steadily risen in the past decade. However, recent research points to potential health risks associated with using the pocket-sized phones.

Most significantly, using wireless phones may impair driving safety. In 1997, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that a driver using a cell phone is four times as likely to have a collision than one who is not. This is roughly the same '' driving intoxicated.

“The main problem is that traction when using a cell : while driving,” said Stephanie Communications Director of AAA Foundation for Traffic Sa. “Not observing the road ahead you at all times is a huge facb [in car accidentsl

w

of everyday life

Out of all the possible cell phone related distractions, Faul said that increased levels of concentration in a discussion while on the cell phone most significantly lowers driving performance.

Cell phones have also been reported to distract older people more than younger drivers. Recent studies conducted in Finland found that braking reaction times are delayed by as much as half a second because of cell phone use.

However, various surveys have ranked talking and driving below other distracting activities including changing a cassette or CD, reading a map or even dealing with noisy children or unrestrained pets.

Faul also noted that there are clear benefits of having a cell phone in an emergency situation.

“People often overlook the fact that cell

phones have very important safety functions,” she said.

Although the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is uncertain if there is a direct correlation associated between cell phone use and driving impairment, officials stress that the behavior is a contributing factor to the mounting distractions that drivers have to deal with.

Paul suggests certain precautions drivers should take to ensure their safety.

“For some basic rules, try to keep conversation light, limit the conversation length, don’t be afraid to hang up the phone and allow plenty of following distance.” She also suggests using cell phones sparingly and in uncongested areas where traffic patterns will not change rapidly.

Another health risk that may be associated with cell phone use is exposure to radiation released from the phones. Since they are powered by electricity, they give off electric and magnetic fields, or EMF, which emit a non-ionizing form of radiation, .'his type ofradiation, which is sim-

.arly emitted by microwaves and mputers, does not have enough to split atoms into harmful ■rically-charged particles, and is off in both low doses and low lev'articularly high doses can increase risk of cancer, birth defects and

defects. ;rn over these effects arose last year when the Medical Journal of Australia speculated that a 50 percent increase in brain tumors is due to cell phone use. The World Health Organization also found that mice exposed to about 18 months of low-level radio waves similar to those emitted from wireless phones were twice as likely to develop cancer.

However, not enough conclusive research has been done to prove a direct link.

“Overall, the existing evidence for a relationship between radiation from cell phones and cancer is found to be weak to nonexistent,” said Dr. John Moulder, a radiation oncologist at the Medical College ofWisconsin.

Hanks said developing a geological history of the mountain was essential in creating his analysis.

“Anything that is likely to happen in the next 10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 years has already happened. This is where earth science is at its best,” he said.

“The present is the key to the past. That’s something you learn early on as an earth scientist. In this case, the past is the key to the future.”

While earthquakes and volcanoes are unlikely, Hanks said, the possibilities of water seepfair

ing through the mountain to the

storage area is still a concern.

“Water accelerates the corrosion of canisters in which waste is stored. Water can become the vehicle of escape from drifts in

the mountain to ground water which can come to the surface,” said Hanks. “That these things happen is not an issue. How fast it happens is the issue.”

Hanks said past studies on water seepage may be unreliable, citing a Department of Energy study, which he said overestimated the amount of water seeping into the mountain.

‘The price of their conservatism came in several forms, most of them [ini unnecessary engineering,” he said. “Fundamentally, Yucca has been an en-

gineering project with science and technology at the bottom of the food chain. Yucca mountain would be better off if engineering and earth science could work together.”

The future of the Yucca Mountain site will be determined by a process beginning in November. The site recommendation will be presented to the secretary of energy, the president and congress.

The state ofNevada will also have an opportunity to appeal any decision before attempts are made to obtain licensing from the Nuclear Regulatory Committee to build and operate the storage facility. If all goes according to plan, the site should be operational by 2010.

Price plans to boost Students receive national honors teacher workforce From staff reports US. Rep. David Price, D-N.C., unveiled legislation Monday to encourage students to become public school teachers, to help alleviate the nationwide teacher shortage. Price’s proposed Teaching Fellows Act of2ooo would

provide federal grants to states that establish innovative programs to attract people to the teaching profession.

The act would reward states that create programs similar to the N.C. Teaching Fellows Programs, which provides students four-year scholarships. Two hundred million dollars would be available to states that design programs to provide students with scholarships of at least $6,500 per year and to support extracurricular enrichment activities. Fellows would teach within the state for four years at public 6WS schools or for three years at .p low-performing schools.

D I*l6lS The Teaching Fellows Act would also encourage members of the education community who are not yet licensed teachers to obtain four-year education degrees.

Education experts have estimated that the teacher shortage will grow worse over the next decade as tens ofthousands ofteachers reach retirement age.

From staff reports For their excellence in undergraduate research, four University students—Trinity sophomore Kevin Lacker, Pratt junior Daniel Neill and Pratt sophomores Pavan Cheruvu and Scott Smith—were awarded Barry M. Goldwater Scholar-

collaboration. Cheruvu is a double major in biomedical engineering and chemistry and has done research to improve mathematical modeling of cardiac electrodynamics. Finally, Smith, a major in electrical engineering and computer science, would like to help design the future’s communication and computing infrastructure.

Prosecutors have proof of Pakistani court gives former auction chairs’ price fixing prime minister life in prison

By BARRY BEARAK

By DOUGLAS FRANTZ N.Y. Times News Service

Prosecutors in the NEW YORK federal antitrust investigation of Sotheby’s and Christie’s have evidence that a scheme to limit competition by fixing commissions charged to buyers and sellers was set in motion

lawyers for Christie’s, who had obtained the material from Christopher Davidge days after he resigned as Christie’s chief executive, according to people involved in the inquiry.

People involved in the case said that Diana Brooks, the former chief executive of Sotheby’s, has let prosecutors know that, with immunity, she could support some of Davidge’s assertions about the scheme’s origins and could say she met with him on instructions from Taubman.

not by subordinates, but by the chairs of the world’s auction giants at the time, according to people involved in the investigation.

The two leaders, A. Alfred Taubman of Sotheby’s and Sir Anthony Tennant of Christie’s, discussed the arrangement in person and then instructed their chief executives to meet to carry out the scheme, according to accounts from the people involved in the inquiry.

Lawyers for Sotheby’s and Taubman have acknowledged privately that Taubman met with Tennant in the early to mid-19905, but would not specify more precisely when.

But the lawyers contended that the conversations were innocent and had nothing to do with a conspiracy.

Christie’s lawyers and Tennant declined to comment, but people involved in the case say he also maintains that the conversations were innocuous.

The information—including memorandums describing aspects of the arrangement—was turned over to prosecutors several months ago by

Brooks, who stepped down at Sotheby’s on Feb. 21, the same day Taubman resigned as Sotheby’s chair.

He remains the majority shareholder but gave up his seat on the board.

Davidge acknowledged to prosecutors that he and Brooks met secretly many times over three years in New York and London to work out the details of the collusion.

Nawaz KARACHI, Pakistan Sharif, ousted as Pakistan’s prime minister in a military coup in October, was convicted Thursday of hijacking a commercial airliner, sentenced to life imprisonment rather than death and ordered to forfeit all his personal property.

Standing along with six co-defendants, who were each acquitted, the balding, doughy Sharif barely blinked when the judgment was read.

A shriek from his daughter Maryam broke the silence. “Have fear of God!” she cried. Her mother, Kulsoom Nawaz, attempting stoicism, quieted her and other relatives who had begun to wail.

Sharif, 52, was then quickly led away. His family and followers, many clutching copies of the Koran, tried to chase after him, shouting, “Long live Nawaz Sharif!”

Sharif’s crime was not an ordinary hijacking, at least as most of the world understands the term.

No weapon was used. Sharif was not even aboard the aircraft. His crime was

to issue orders, which he later rescinded, telling the airport’s ground control to refuse permission for landing to a Karachi-bound airliner, sending it out of the country.

The plane, according to the pilot, then found itself low on fuel, and the lives of everyone on board were endangered.

Among the 198 people on the plane was Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who came

to power that day in a coup. Hours earlier, the prime minister had fired the general as army chief of staff while he was out of the country.

In reprisal, army officers began the coup. Once the general was back safely on the ground, he took control and named himself Pakistan’s chief executive.

Judge Rahmat Hussain Jaffri took these unusual circumstances into account in sparing Sharif death by hanging and meting out the lesser penalty of two concurrent life terms —one for hijacking, another for terrorism. In Pakistan, a life sentence is defined as 25 years, though there is the chance of an early release for good behavior.

Sharif’s attorneys immediately said they would appeal, insisting that too much weight had been given to the testimony ofAminullah Chaudhry, the former head ofthe civil aviation authority and the man who claimed to have received Sharif’s orders to waylay the jet.

Chaudhry, at one time a defendant, won release by becoming a witness for the state.

“He purchased his freedom with the neck of another person,” said defense lawyer Manzoor Ahmed Malik.

In a 157-page decision distributed Thursday, the judge wrote that the hijacking “was committed at the spur of the moment and in heat of passion” after Sharif “came to know that his authority was eroded by some few army soldiers.”

The verdict, the judge said, fell within the confines ofPakistan’s penal code.

Although assembling this material could take until 2003, the rough draft will be a significant prize for researchers, since they will be able to search the genome for genes reasonably well even though it is in pieces.

Celera is making use ofthe consortium’s public data in completing its own genome sequence.

Over the last three weeks, as they have entered the endgame of the human genome race, Celera and the consortium have engaged in a series of combative public announcements, interlaced with private talks about collaboration.

There is a strong logic for a joint effort because the two sides are pursuing different but complementary strategies to decoding the genome.

First Celera disclosed its fruit fly results, proving the effectiveness of its whole genome shotgun strategy.

Then Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project ofthe National Institutes of Health, announced the June date for the consortium’s rough draft.

Venter responded with Thursday’s announcement. He added that he was switching his 300 sequencing machines to analysis of the mouse genome,

knowledge of which will help researchers interpret what human genes do.

The genome decoded by Celera belongs to a man, so it has both X and Y chromosomes (women have two X chromosomes).

The man has not been named, but his identify will become largely immaterial as individual variations in DNA, called SNPs or “snips,” are gathered by Celera and others. The public consortium’s genome is drawn from a mosaic of different individuals.

Venter said that after the human genome was assembled, he would convene a conference of outside experts to annotate it, meaning to identify where the genes lie on the DNA and what they do. Annotation is achieved with computer programs that analyze the DNA sequence, pinpoint the components of genes, and guess their biological role from comparison with known genes of other species that are already in the databases.

Only 3 percent of the human genome codes for genes and the methods for identifying them are far from perfect.

Once the annotation experts have finished their task sometime later this year, Celera will make its human genome sequence freely available to researchers, Venter said.

Venter has a record of technical and managerial successes in sequencing genomes, first of bacteria and now of animals, despite assertions by critics that he would never succeed and whose skepticism seems a necessary psychological spur to his accomplishments.

Sources close to Celera said that at a meeting last Friday with officials of the National Institutes of Health, Venter proposed that both sides publish their findings jointly, as was done with the fruit fly genome sequence to which the public consortium

Gonzalez will meet with attorney general this Friday �FATHER from page 2 this orderly process rests squarely with the relatives in Miami,” Wallis said.

He added that immigration officials

would provide the Miami relatives with

a letter outlining the reuniting process.

Gonzalez planned to meet Friday morning at the Justice Department with Attorney General Janet Reno, Immigration and Naturalization Sendee Commissioner Doris Meissner and other officials.

In Miami, Elian seemed oblivious to the new phase in the struggle. He

played on a slide outside his greatuncle’s home and fired a toy gun as the usual horde of reporters and photographers took note.

Relatives said he learned of his father’s trip only hours before it took place.

It was an unsmiling Juan Gonzalez who disembarked from a small chartered plane at Dulles International Airport at dawn Thursday, accompanied by his wife, Nercy Carmenate Castillo, and their infant son, Hianny.

“This is Elian’s true family, and we love him very much,” he sai3.

“It’s been an agonizing experience to see my son submitted to cruel psychological pressures aimed at influencing his personality,” Gonzalez said, speaking through an interpreter; “Worse still, Elian’s been paraded and exhibited in public rallies and by the media with a clear intent to obtain political advantage,” from the tragedy that befell him last November, when his mother died while en route with Elian to South Florida from Cuba.

“As if his mother’s disappearance before his eyes and the miracle of his arrival have not inflicted enough damage on a 5-year-old boy, he has had to spend time under the temporary custody of some distant relatives who had never seen him before,” he said.

President Bill Clinton, interviewed on CBS, said, “The fact that the father has come here, and will be in a position to show his concern for, and desire to be reunited with, his son, should be a big help.”

Although, the Miami relatives were not swayed.

Lazaro Gonzalez “was almost in tears” when he heard the father’s statement, said his spokesperson Armando Gutierrez. “He felt that that is not his nephew. He felt that was not the person he knows,” Juan Gonzalez rested during the day at the suburban Washington home

of Cuba’s chief diplomat here and met with his American lawyer, Gregory Craig, who flew to Cuba on Tuesday to arrange the father’s visit.

Later, Reps. Maxine Waters, DCalif., and Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., came for an hour’s visit during which, Serrano said, Gonzalez showed pictures of Elian and the family back in Cuba and talked about how Elian slept between him and his current wife when she was pregnant with their new baby. ‘“This is a family,’ he told me,” Serrano said. “I saw his eyes get moist when I started to talk to him about my children... and he said, ‘What do I have to do to prove I love my child?”’

JUAN MIGUEL GONZALEZ, with his wife and six-month old son, shortly after arriving within the United States Thursday. He expressed his disapproval of the political commotion surrounding Elian.

Thursday night, Juan Gonzalez told his fellow Cubans by telephone to a live broadcast on state television: “Don’t worry. Very soon we will have the boy with us in Cuba.”

Several dozen anti-Castro protesters, carrying candles and placards, gathered peacefully outside the house where Juan Gonzalez was staying.

In Miami, the number of demon-

strators around Lazaro Gonzalez’s house swelled to more than 200 by midafternoon. They sang and prayed.

Cuban President Fidel Castro bade farewell to the Gonzalez family at the airport in Havana before dawn, Gonzalez said the President “has been like a brother giving me advice and support through our long days of pain and uncertainty.”

Ex-political prisoner tells of his quest to free friends I VALLADARES from page 3

He told of the urine and excrement from other prisoners guards dumped on his face while he slept. Holding up his hands, he showed the scars from rat bites. He described the fungus that grew on his body up to his eyes, and how he would try to shove the food from the plate directly into his mouth, so he would not have to touch it with his infected hands. And he told of the time a guard jumped on his broken leg.

In order to leave the prison, Valladares said, political prisoners had to state that “all my life has been a mistake, I’ve been wrong all my life, God does not exist, I want you to give me the opportunity to join a communist society.”

ARMANDO VALLADARES relays his experience as a Cuban political prisoner. Once he was released, Valladares testified before the United Nations about his 22 years in jail.

Valladares said about 70,000 of the 80,000 political prisoners in Cuba have accepted rehabilitation.

“For many people, that is the solution,” he said. “For me, that would have meant to commit spiritual suicide.... I never lost my freedom. Freedom is not the space where you can walk around. There are lots of people

in Cuba who have space to walk—and they are not free.”

Valladares said he got out of prison because of the devotion of his wife, Martha, who was only his girlfriend when he was first sent to prison.

“Penelope waited for Odysseus for 20 years,” he said. “My wife did more than that. She waited 21 years. She went around the world for me in a campaign, which ended with Mitterand’s request.”

After his release, Valladares said he had an obsession to free his friends still in prison.

His major step toward that goal was

his testimony to the United Nations, which culminated in a UN. Human Rights Commission to Cuba. The commission’s report documented thousands of cases of human rights abuse in Cuba.

“This is a battle, a gigantic battle,” Valladares said of his work to promote human rights. “It’s a terrible battle, but I think we’re winning. I’m sure we will have a society where human rights violations are a thing of the past.”

The Trouble with Tobacco The North Carolina state legislature has acted in the best interests of the state as tries to end its dependency on the tobacco industry

Tobacco

has cost this country billions of dollars and thousands of lives. It is time to hold this industry accountable. However justice needs to be meted in a fair, reasonable fashion.

An ongoing class-action lawsuit in Florida is threatening to charge the tobacco industry with punitive damages of more than $lOO billion. In response, North Carolina legislators passed a bill Wednesday that will shield tobacco manufacturers from the effects of the jury’s decision by making it easier for the companies to appeal any decision Certainly, the constitutionality of such an unorthodox measure is questionable. However, on principle, legislators are doing the right thing. A 12-person jury in Florida should not have the power to take down an entire industry without the judicial safeguards that the appeals process guarantees.

Right now, the economy of North Carolina is addicted to tobacco money. This state cannot go “cold turkey”—the tobacco industry provides too many jobs and too much tax revenue. North Carolinians must wean themselves off of tobacco in a slow yet steady process.

The economy of this state is presently going through some major transitions. The economy used to be dependent exclusively on textiles and tobacco. Over the past few decades, the state has developed hightech and commercial industries. This legislation gives the state breathing room to keep developing alternative industries; it helps continue to shift the focus off of tobacco, Certainly, one must feel for individual tobacco farmers. They grew a product the federal government told them was legal for willing customers—and now they are being sued for it. The state moved correctly to aid those farmers and others who work for the tobacco companies. However, much of this sympathy is eliminated by the behavior of the tobacco industry. Remember, tobacco companies intentionally altered the level of nicotine in cigarettes to addict the American public. In many ways, the corporate monoliths of Phillip Morris and the Ligett Group are nothing more than glorified drug dealers.

This is why the class-action lawsuit on behalf of thousands of Floridians is such a powerful statement. No matter what their intentions, the tobacco industry ruined millions ofpeople’s lives in this country over the course of the 20th century. The time has come to pay the piper, but the payments should not be made immediately at the expense of an entire state’s economy.

On the record “I’ve had people think that I was an intricate part of the selection committee—like somehow I should know the emphasis that Duke puts on AP classes..”.

Blue ribbon a cappella

Lady Blue, Rhythm and Blue, NYRD Blue, Deep Blue Sea.... Telling Duke's numerous student a cappella groups apart can be tough. Here’s a tip: One of them is the group behind this year's best collegiate a cappella song.

All-female group Out of the Blue won big at this year's contemporary a cappella recording awards, scoring nominations in each category, and best song for an adaptation of "You Were Mine."

“On an album with enough great songs to have filled the category, 'You Were Mine' was an absolute standout...," raved Contemporary A Capella News. "(It] completely outshines the Dixie Chicks' original with more power, passion and pathos than you can bear."

Additionally, Laura Young, Trinity '9B and a first-year at Duke Medical School, carried off the prize for best female collegiate soloist for the song "Call It Love."

Young won the award with only one solo appearance on the group's latest album, House Blend. She was quick to credit the group for her success. "It was a nice affirmation of the hard work we've done," she said.

Despite five years of singing with the award-winning group, Young says the came... well, out of the blue. "I didn't expect it at all, it was a very large surprise. I didn't think I'd even be nominated," she said.

Since matriculating at Duke Med, Young has temporarily set singing aside. And even if the award does bring recording industry talent scouts to her door, she says she has no intention of abandoning medicine. All the same, she added, "I'd love to keep singing—it's been sad not singing this year."

Marketing Force Comm Sometime, you don't even need to use a new product t« review it—you can infer all you need to know from the wa' it's marketed. So what could we guess about Star Wars: Force Commander before even tearing the shrinkwrap?

Return of the Rio

The market for portable digital media has blown up over the past year, with old companies and new ones alike introducing tiny little walkman-like players into the fray at a rapid clip. And they all pretty much offer the same features, so if you want digital audio on the go, it's hard to go wrong.

The fine folks at Diamond were kind enough to let us try out the Riosoo, their newest variation on their previous product, the Rio PMP 300.

With more memory, now at 64 MB, you can get almost two hours of less-than-CD quality digital audio on the player in MP3 format. But if you want good sound quality, you're really looking at something more like one hour.

The Riosoo only requires one AA battery which lasts for more than 10 hours—because the machine has no moving parts, it swallows energy much slower than a Discman. Unfortunately, the unit itself doesn't play very loudly, which is good for your ears but ultimately unsatisfactory if you're in a noisy environment, like on a treadmill or, heaven forbid, near a blasting zone.

There's even a cute little carrying case, which you'll never use! 'ou've got a whole lot of pirated music 'our computer and would like to take it you on the go, then the Riosoo is, rati, a pretty good option. If the 64 MB ■mory isn't enough, you have the option adding a 32 MB memory card to the nit for more music.

Diamond, and every other digital audio company, boasts "skip-free" music. This is true, but when dropped the unit in the Gardens the other day, the LCD screen spasmed and the whole unit malfunctioned.

Lesson to be learned here: Don’t drop the damn thing.

Well, these are the facts: Fact #1 : Star Wars has a computer-literate fan base enthusiastic enough about new products that they'll buy anything computerized and related to the movies. Lucas Art; a game called Jar-Jar's Playhouse and at least some people Fact #2: Lucas' marketing strategy appears oriented towan day rather than steady sales over a long period. Witness th worldwide release of The Phantom Menace on video, or tf tioned midnight orgies of consumerism at selected retail o Episode I toys debuted.

Fact #3: Unlike many manufacturers, LucasArts seldom prv loadable demo versions of its games, and it's much less willing to distribute promotiona! copies to the media. But their web-based publicity features plentyV of information about Just iusfhnw h much Star Wars gimmickiness there is bundled into the package.

So when Lucas Arts released Force Commander, an ambitious 3D real-time strateov name that nuts nlav ers ,n control of walkers, stormtroopers and snowspeeders, it was clear that plenty of fans down $45 for the product as soon as they could, sight unseen. Those same gamers would diligently learn how to play he game even if it had a forbidding, confusing interface-after all, a chance to become a part of the d t0 reaSOn that *"* would place more emphasis on

p,U^°

ommander fl,ts the prediction—there are more vehicles and troopers than you could possibly imaq-9 me (and can imagine quite a few) The sound-effects-from clanking walkers to squealing notch and the graphics are respectable, even at extreme closeup. But the interface, based around directing a 3D camera that takes literally 11 different keys to control, is painfully clumsy. And the game's mighty technical demands can turn even a robust system from speeder bike to sandcrawler.

Once you crest that formidable learning curve, though, Force Commander becomes addictive before you know it. It's always more fun to play the bad guys, of course, and there's a certain joy in leading a squad of stormtroopers swaggering into a frontier village looking for insurgents—like Platoon without the social commentary. And who hasn't wanted to turn thei blaster on an Ewok or two?

I can see why LucasArts was reluctant to send out rev copies. If hadn t invested my own money in this game, ably would have given up on its counter-intuitive interface in than an hour. But my love of Star Wars—and my desire to sc ome return on my investment—won out. I'm glad it did.

VIRGINIA O Richmond’s Pat McGee Band will rock Kilgo

Quad tonight

By Meredith Young

After

waiting a tense twenty minutes for Pat McGee to call me for a phone interview scheduled for 10 a.m., I started wondering whether getting stood up would affect my perception of his self-titled band and its new CD, Shine.

Then, the phone rang. An apologetic Pat proceeded to explain * the frustrations of his faulty cell phone. After talking to me for forty-five minutes about the band, the new CD and some crazy adventures on the road, he apologized just one more time.

Though I had always sensed it, it was then that I realized that this Richmond-based band—whose members are known to go out and party with their fans after a show—are truly real in their music, lyrics and manners. Heading for Duke today, the Pat McGee band has an opportunity to display their raw energy and gritty, unique sound which, fortunately for them, has not been compromised by the switch from self-released CDs to a production deal with Giant records.

Pat McGee started out as a solo artist. Tirelessly touring at a multitude of venues and colleges in Virginia, he gained a devoted fan base hooked on his energized acoustics and songs that could somehow speak to every single person in the crowded bar. After adding five band members, selling 100,000 CDs, and keeping up an insane regimen of hard-core touring, PMB has gained an '

Recess correspondent Meredith Young caught up with Pat McGee to talk about his band's upcoming show on Kilgo Quad, as well as a new album and a strong affinity for construction machinery.

What's the best college you've ever played at?

When we started this band, our original days were at, like, Virginia Tech, places like that. The immediate response came from Virginia Tech, basically all of the Virginia schools, UVa, JMU, places like that, but realty Virginia Tech was where I think it kind of exploded out of, as far as getting the DC scene, because there are so many people from Northern Virginia and DC from Virginia Tech.

What's the craziest thing you or other band members have ever done on the road?

I can remember in Memphis one time hijacking a street cleaner very late at night, and driving it down a major highway—fairly sketchy. We tend to gravitate towards somehow turning on construction highway machinery late at night. 1 don't know why that's the case, I guess we just get bored at 4 o’clock in the morning and our bus is parked next to a construction site. We've learned that you can start pretty much any kind of crane with any kind of household key (laughs), so, those things are fairly, I wouldn’t say standard, but you know, you never know...

Does your band have groupies? It seems that there are a lot of people who go to all the shows....

There’s a huge tape-trading population out there. They would probably be so offended if they were referred to as groupies—groupies is a term brought from the days of women that would get on the bus and travel with the band... that definitely doesn't happen.

Is there unspoken or spoken jealousy among band members that the band is self-titled, the Pat McGee band?

It's never been an issue, only because I put out my first record before the band got together, so it 'wasn't Ike I got everyone in the room and was like, "Hey, I'm going to call it this." ! was already out for a year playing gigs as the Pat McGee Band with random musicians, and the only reason I was calling it "Band" was because I played so many solo gigs and I wanted to make sure these people at the venue understood that 1 was bringing a band, so i just put "Band" at the end of my name. If I had to do it all over again I definitely would not have done that.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever gotten, whether it's about music or not?

I got the fortune of meeting James Taylor; we opened up for him. He was talking to us and said, "You know what? You should never ever take yourself too seriously because what we do is not very serious." I always kind of felt that way—not that we're a whole bunch of clowns, but it's still just music. And music is very important to people's lives but it should be entertaining. It should make you feel good. It should be something you enjoy.

almost cult-like following.

Although fans constantly try to put their fingers on the magic of PMB, it is nearly impossible to ascertain exactly what makes PMB's music so infectious—and makes one leave the band's music in the stereo for months, whether it be the live CD, General Admission, or the studio album Revel. Pat McGee's pre-band solo effort, From the Wood, is equally charming.

However, Shine sheds even more light on the way PMB's perfect blend of simple delivery with a profound and complex meaning can create such an amazing result. More polished and mature in lyrics, musical arrangement and instrumentation, Shine, produced by formerTalking Head Jerry Harrison, might just be the band's chance for a radio breakthrough.

Take the disc's second track, "Rebecca," for example. As the first song Pat ever wrote —and the band's trademark song both at gigs and on their records —its earlier versions haven't done too badly. Fans always ask for it, the guys play it last, and they've produced and performed so many variations on the tune that it never gets old.

"It was the first thing that popped in my head, and it was very simple..., very easy to write," McGee said. As obvious as the lyrics might seem, they're really not. While many ask McGee if he is singing about an ex-girlfriend, he explained that during college, "1 was performing so I couldn't be as hammered as the next fraternity guy down the block. I would just see all these different girls, whether they came up to me at a bar drunk and just told me, 'Man you suck' or whatever it was. 'Rebecca' is like five or six different people that I would think about" Along with the catchy lyrics, the song is also a trademark example of PMB's exhilarating groove, with a chorus that hooks the listener'from the get-go That type of energy will be PMB's trademark all evening tonight in Kilgo Quad, at what promises to be a high-energy, high-intensity perfor-

mance. And with a devoted fan base filled with college kids, it is possible that the next time Dukies hear this band play, it will be on the radio. □

seeing Katie Holmes jumping around to any of these eight songs on an upcoming episode of

Dawson’s Creek. Nonetheless, it seems that Pedro the Lion might be headed in that direction.

For starters, this band has taken advantage of their recently gained indie rock cred and signed with Jade Tree, a label that will likely make this their most widely distributed release yet. This is a good thing, as Winners Never Quit is probably Pedro the Lion's most accessible release! to date For those unfamiliar with frontman David Bazan's unique songwriting style, all I can say is that he is as sincere and intense as anyone in the industry. While some songs are slow and heartfelt, others are cynical, ,Jr angsty effusions. Many people like to call Pedro the Lion and indeed most Jade Tree bands "emo," but that label isn't really fair or specific enough to be credible. What can be said is that Winners Never Quit is ; nice collection of slow-paced, well crafted and largely acoustic songs perfect for a night's meditation or a slow car ride.

If. you need a good date show, or you're just craving a night of good music in Chapel Hill that doesn't consist of loud guitar rock, check out the band's show at Go! Studios on

New Radicals

dead prez bring much-needed activism to today’s hip-hop

1

can tell you one thing for straight off: We won't be

page five

For all those pining for a powerful, substantive hip-hop album on a major recording label, there's a rumor that just such an album has arrived to challenge the fluffy status quo The suspects? dead prez duo Stic.man and M-1, and their potent debut IP Let's Be Free. Their charge? ’ Attempting to use todays most wide-reaching musical genre to enlighten and engage this apathetic nation towards visions of radical social change.

The verdict? Guilty as charged.

Let’s Be Free grabs you before you even open the case The album's cover photo celebrates the militant Soweto uprising against South Africa's apartheid government in 1976.

Its piercing, gun-laden

imagery, admonishes potential listeners of the rich lesson (in life, not history, fool) that

lies inside.

Consider the track "They Schools," a scathing critique of the education system and its Eurocentric curriculum: "In the hallways, the pope was always present/ Lookin' for dope and weapons—get you lessons, That’s what my moms kept stressin. // tried to pay attention but they classes wasn't interestin'/They seemed to only glorify the Europeans / Claimin' Africans were only three-fifths a human being."

There are no "bling-blings" or "jigga what's" here. In fact, much of Let's Be Free will make most listeners very uncomfortable. Even as someone who supports solutions to societal problems that some consider "radical','this

album made me feel a little uneasy and challenged. This reaction illuminates the systemic problems facing our society, where the typical privileged American response to timeless issues of oppressed people speaking to themes of self-help, self-determination and discipline is one of fear.

But don't let dead prez's ardent political message confuse the fact that they still lace some very tight and shakabie beats. Their first single, "Hip-Hop','with its heavy bass, points to Stic.man's Dirty South upbringing. Other tracks, like "Police State," mix attacks on the authorities with loops

that will get the dance floor bumpin'.

Being schooled in the teachings of radicals like Marcus Garvey and Gil Scott-Heron and inspired by Aikido, it's no surprise that M-1 and Stic.man litter Let's Be Free with a cornucopia of complex and inspiring references. Listeners must be ready to catch allusions to everything from the I Ching, the sacred Chinese Book of changes, to veganism, a lifestyle devoid of animal products, both practices to which the duo adheres.

Other references highlight the probable first-ever rap song about a George Orwell book in "Animal in Man" and the murder of Black Panther Fred Hampton Sr. and the trials of his son, social justice fighter Fred Hampton Jr. in "Behind Enemy Lines" Few would question dead prez's commitment to practicing what they preach—both rappers double as community activists in the National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement. The duo's unique talent, and one that even separates them from the great Public Enemy, is their ability to put life truths into music that can play in clubs, which are dominated by materialistic party music. By having a more accessible sound, dead prez can reach more minds in places that ideological rappers are usually shut out of.

As M-1 claims, the message on this album is "bigger than hip-hop'.' Yet, in many ways, the album is hip-hop, in that hip-hop is more than just 'urban music.' Among other things, it's an expression by people who deal with the results of systemic racism and classist oppression.

The fact that the issues raised by dead prez actually exist in the hip-hop community (and America) should not be surprising, and is not the true gem of this dope hiphop debut. M-1 and Stic's real genius lies in their ability to articulate the messages of their lives in a broader context, making this one of the best albums of the year, hiphop or not.

Hope you can handle it.D

In three decades of paintings, Don Eddy explores the themes of light and

reflection

in

representa-

tional art.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF MARYLIN AND ARTHUR LEVITT

BUMPER SECTION XXI (1970, acrylic on canvas, 34 x 48 in.)

By Norbert Schurer

Profound

art, for painter Don Eddy, is art that "both implicitly speaks to its own culture and time, yet has the ability to transcend it."

An experience he had with one of the 35 works currently on display in the exhibit Don Eddy: From Logic to Mystery at DUMA illustrates what he means.

When the 1970 painting "Bumper Section XXI" was presented at a show in Essen, Germany, in the early '7os, Eddy says, the Germans didn't quite get it—they did not recognize the painting's subject as part of a Cadillac. So while American audiences were seeing "Bumper Section XXI" within its original cultural context, Germans were relating to it differently, through the abstract organizational aspect.

This abstract organization was also what most struck Nancy Hoffman, the gallerist who discovered Eddy in the late 19605. She immediately recognized "a different approach to urban culture and the urban landscape..., a real freshness," Hoffman explains. Similarly, Michael Mezzatesta, director of DUMA —who brought this exhibit to the University—says that, "I have always admired his work" for its representational style.

DON

JEROME'S DILEMMA (1985-1986, acrylic on canvas, 40 x 48 in.)

EDDY

Eddy himself summarizes his entire oeuvre as "contemporary representational art," a description that highlights the fact that he paints recognizable objects such as cars, toys, flowers and glass. This reliance on verisimilitude puts him at a disadvantage with culturally sophisticated art connoisseurs, he ,

believes, who look down on representation, but gives him an advantage with the "masses," to whom much modern art is inaccessible.

In reference to his own lower middle-class background, Eddy says, "I've always wanted my art to make sense to a broader range of audiences," and as it turns out, people from all walks of life enjoy his paintings.

Mezzatesta adds, "Because he's a realist painter, there's an immediate connection that can be made” and emphasizes that just because it looks real, this form of art is "not more facile."

Art critics have divided Eddy's work into three distinct (though overlapping) phases, a separation Eddy tolerates; "I let people cut up the pie any way they want to,'' he says. Hoffman agrees, explaining that the division is merely "a descriptive handle for some people to get into the work."

Bumper

Section XXI" belongs to first phase, and to the movement commonly known as photorealism—a term Eddy objects to as being commercial rather than philosophical, instead prefering the European hyper-realism. Hoffman, too, finds this categorization problematic and adds that Eddy's "conceptual basis.... sets him apart from other photorealists." At the same time, Mezzatesta points out, Eddy's work of this time was considered important

lough that he was chosen to represent his 'school' in art history textbooks.

In the paintings of this period, Eddy says he is particularly pursuing three jais: pushing the boundary between representation and abstract organiza3n, investigating the nature of space and challenging the viewer’s selective attention. "Bumper Section XXI" is representational in its depiction of a sec-3n of the front of an automobile, but this is only visible at a second glance—■st the viewer is struck by the geometrical organization into horizontal, vertical id diagonal lines as well as the opposition between straight and circular lapes and the force of the colors.

The painting is divided into three planes: the relief object which is representj, the flat, illusionistic relief surface of the physical painting, that is, ie two-dimensional painting itself, and the reflection visible in ie chrome parts of the bumper, which r ie viewer's space. Eddy is also intereste ature of perception. In quotidian percep' ays, we don't see everything that is aroi vhich would be impossible), but focus o omething in particular —a process Eddy alls selective attention (or inattention). I ontrast, in his art, he wants to "try to jrce [the viewer] to become equally ttentive to every part of the painting." hile Eddy maintains that his artistic concerns have mW remained fairly constant over the course of his career, he I lints out that in some paintings of le mid-'Bos, he became particularly itererested in the nature of experince. He says, "It is my contention latwe don't ever 'see' the world irectly, but experience it through the sil of our past, our acculturation, our opes, dreams and failure."

In "Jerome's Dilemma" (1985-86), for stance, this interest in the past is [pressed in the use of an older paintg, Simon Vouet's "St. Jerome and the igel" (c. 1625), which is covered by a /er of floating toys, fruits and vegetaes. While the objects in the foreground e actually more 'real' —as opposed to angel—they come across as more it, Eddy contends. Even though the )uet layer is a painting of a photograph a painting, he says, the angel "seems 'have more substance."

Mezzatesta adds that these pictures low that Eddy "comes out of a long adition of representational painting 'at goes back to the Renaissance" 3me of the pictures he uses at this roe are actually Renaissance paint>9s. According to Mezzatesta, Eddy as "fully assimilated that vocabulary."

In this period, Eddy wanted to introtice more color back into his paint'9s and for that purpose went to toolworth, where he proceeded to Y $3OO worth of toys in 10 minks— toys because they can be any kr, and so many in such a short ne so that he would not be thinking 'nsciously about his choices: The ore staff, he says, did not seem surged by his behavior at all; they were Quite tolerant—this is New York!"

Finally,

in his more recent work, Eddy has undergone a "really big shift from highly didactic and conceptually based work to work that is fundamentally democratic and based on a poetic model," by which he means that enough remains unsaid (or unpainted) to leave the 'completion' of the work to the viewer. As Mezzatesta puts it, the viewers have to "make connections between the different parts," engaging in a kind of "leap of faith." In formal terms, Eddy has moved from the one-subject paintings of his first period through the layered works of the 'Bos to compositions that are segmented as triptychs or as paintings with even more distinct parts.

These compositions, Eddy says, come to him in their completed form. He claims to have "not the foggiest notion of what they merely to be painting what he feels is 'e vision. In the 1993 triptych "Imminent I Distant Longing II," for example, he has ;d three distinct nature panels that relate d contrast with each other on a variety of 'ls: the diversity of elements (sky, water, lant), the different forms of movement 'clouds arrested in the sky, water erupting over a waterfall, flowers planted firmly in the ground), the varying color schemes (dark clouds, shining water, colorful flowers). According to critic Virginia Bonito, the "dark brooding underside of the cloudbanks, and the unbroken wall of woodlands relieved only by light, introduce an element of tension and foreboding that keeps us ever mindful of inevitable confronts-. tions with fate and dark force." This atmosphere is also captured in paintings such as "After the Storm" (1993) which shows a red hibiscus flower glowing with water, in front of an ocean, after a rainstorm.

Eddy wants his more recent compositions to be understood as "a celebration of what I will call ontological mystery, the mystery of being." He does not intend to unravel this mystery, but only to present it to his audience. With these paintings, he has introduced a spiritual, Christian mysticist aspect to his art, which is also tinged by an interest in the connections between Christianity and Buddhism.

Eddy

finds it impossible to summarize his work —"I would have to be able to do that about my life to be able to do it for my work," he says. Similarly, the title of this exhibit —From Logic to Mystery—describes a trajectory of change rather than an ouevre. In contrast, however, Hoffman finds something of a continuing thread going through Eddy's paintings: an interest in "light and reflection." It is these themes, and the realist representation in his work, that allow Eddy's work to transcend its time and that make it accessible to everyone.

By Alexandra Wolfe

(Abridged)

Emera Krauss gives Katherine Paterson’s Bridge to Terabithia a new and inspiring adaptation for the stage.

My favorite parts of The Hobbit. The Emperor's New Clothes and even Cinderella were the pictures. I used to skim through pages of description until I got to a ’picture page.’ So I was especially curious when I heard that Emera Krauss was bringing Katherine Paterson's renowned children's novel. Bridge to Terabithia, to the stage. in the dark theater of 209 East Duke, Krauss' adapted version of Bridge to Terabithia far surpassed any children's book illustrations. Most striking about the production was the director's reliance on movement instead of an elaborate set. I found myself transfixed by the elegant and graceful choreography and did not even miss pictorial detail. Carmen Abrazado's lighting combined with well-timed and rhythmic gestures provided riveting visual images.

The talented six-member cast uses only black boxes and platforms to portray the various settings of the play, both earthly and make-believe.The play mixes the child's world of imagination with everyday life into a charming and bittersweet plot. The story begins when Leslie Burke (Taylor West), a tom-boy, moves to town, and Jess Aarons (Chris Schuessler) saves her from being ostracized. Their friendship develops despite obstacles such as Jess' male playmates and his younger sister May Belle (Faran Krentcil). Leslie introduces Jess to a new world of creativity and ultimately teaches him to believe in himself.

satisfaction lies in getting exactly what you expect. That's certainly D what happens with The Skulls—although the film also offers at least one interesting variation within the genre.

GRADE: Sometimes,

Luke McNamara

(Dawson's Creek's Joshua Jackson) is a young

orphan from a poor background who is attending an Ivy League college and wants to go to taw school, but can't afford it.

His only chance, he thinks, is to join the secret society The Skulls, which will pay his tuition.

He does indeed become a member of this organization, but all kinds of complications arise with his girlfriend Chloe (Popular' s Leslie Bibb), his roommate Will (Hill Harper) and his new 'soulmate'

At long last we have an adult romantic comedy sans the saccharine cuteness of the now defunct Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks duo. And thank God. You can't get any more vacuous and sexless than those two. I get the idea that they'd rather rub noses than jump in the sack, which doesn't do much for my sense of romance.

Please bring back Joe's volcano, and throw the two of them in it.

Nora Ephron, who set the scene for witty nnodern romance with When Harry Met Sally, has unfortunately taken on Hollywood's smarmy plasticity in her more recent

ventures.

Remember "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" blaring over the soundtrack when Ryan and Hanks finally

THE PIONEERS: Joshua Jackson meets some of George "Dubya" Bush's most loyal campaign donors in this scene from The Skulls.

Caleb (Paul Walker).

The rest of The Skulls chronicles the completely predictable adventures of Luke in his attempt to deal with the society. It's everybody's paranoid fantasy—a small group of individuals who hold immense power in their hands, controlling everything from government to the judiciary to the police.

Nevertheless, The Skulls is an entertaining movie.

Except for one glaring error (Why don't they copy the tape?), the screenwriting and cinematography are competent. The issue of class is raised enough to make the audience-aware, but not too much to be overbearing.

And most importantly, Bibb doesn't give us the usual whiny and helpless female protagonist, but a courageous, principled kick-ass girl who completely holds her own against her male counterparts. Too bad there aren't any women's secret societies.

meet at the end of You've Got

Then along comes the hilarious Bonnie Hunt (The Green Mile, Jerry Maguire) with her trademark edgy wryness to take a valiant stab at this formula-driven genre. And for the most part, she succeeds. She co-wrote, co-starred and directed this pleasantly amusing romance, and it is not without a certain charm that is all her own.

My reservations about this film center mainly on its sap-worthy premise. Bob Rueland. (David Duchovny), a Chicago architect, is widowed after his wife dies in a car accident. Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver), is a pleasant young lady with an ailing heart who desperately needs a transplant. She receives the deceased wife's heart, and then whaddya know, meets and

enchants the mournful widower. A typical Hollywood coincidence, but the engaging performances and forceful wit of this film overshadow its gushy potential.

Return to Me is in its own way Mrs. Hunt's tribute to the working class neighborhoods of her hometown Chicago. Grace works as a waitress in her grandfather's restaurant, O'Reilly's, an Irish-ltalian restaurant that boasts a ridiculous combination of shepherd's pie along with spinach ravioli. The grandfather, a very Irish Carroll O'Connor, serves up the Guinness alongside Robert Loggia's spaghetti cook. It's a delight to see this supporting cast of eccentric geezers hash it out over the virtues of an Irish Bing Crosby versus Mafia crooners Sinatra and Dean Martin.

I'll also give Hunt credit for featuring religion in a positive light in an age when Hollywood would rather ignore or ridicule it. And I'm not talking about a quick opportunistic prayer to God. When was the last time you saw anyone praying the rosary in a non-cynical manner onsc r een? Faith is actually a reality for many people outside of Tinseltown.

For you skeptics out there who question Duchovny's comedic capabilities, I ask you to watch for his dry, subversive humor in any episode of the X-Files and even his Saturday Night Live and late show appearances. He's quite good opposite Driver, and together they're sweetly romantic in that PG flick sort of way, without the nose-rubbing.

It is however, Bonnie Hunt and Jim Belushi who steal the show. Hunt is Grace's childrenladen married friend who offers such sage advice as "Don't shave your legs on a first date—that way, you won't let things go too far.'

There has never been a more hilarious or sexy take on ordinary married life, even with Belushi's sickly-amazing rolling paunch.

Given that romantic comedies all more or less follow the same simple formula, a little innocuous romance goes a long way in this se son's dearth of quality films.

And you know that deep down inside, Dean Martin is cool in a smaltzy Italian boozehound way. □

Tivolution With enough bells and whistles to make your VCR jealous, the Tivo from Philips makes personalized television a reality.

in Pride

Anyone who's ever watched television has robably, at one time or her, wished that they could rewind a funny moment from a sitcom or watch an instant replay of an impressive sports play. Up until now, these wishes were nothing more than the stuff of a couch potato's dreams.

But now you can have the power, withTivo, the new "PersonalTV" device from Philips. Not only can you rewind up to thirty minutes of a live broadcast, you can pause it (while you go get a beer, for instance), fast-forward or rewind (frame-by-frame, if you please), watch something in slow motion (like a Vince Carter dunk), instantly jump back to live television, or hit the instant replay button to go back and watch the previous 8 seconds of TV. In other words, you pretty much have total control over the viewing experience.

The general rule for home entertainment hardware is this:- the better a device's remote control, the better the device. And that's one of Tivo's hallmarks —its kickass remote control that can do everything. Which makes sense, really, since you can't operate the unit without it. Don't let the normal-remote look of the thing fool you.

At the top, there's the "Tivo" button. Press it and go to the "Tivo Central" screen, the place where the unit's fancier functions can be utilized. From here you can watch pre-recorded programs, live TV, browse through a virtual magazine highlighting upcoming television events, view several "Network Showcases," pick the programs that you want to record, as well as control every aspect of the Tivo's setup to meet your personal viewing needs.

spr Mm,

There are also two funny-looking buttons—a red "Thumbs Down" button and a green "Thumbs Up" button. With these you can be your own personal Roger Ebert Say, for instance, that you're a big basketball fan but you hate watching cooking shows. When basketball is on, press the "Thumbs Up" button as many as three times to signify your approval. Likewise, when you come across the latest episode of "The iron Chef," go ahead and mash down on the "Thumbs Down" button. Over time, based on your likes and dislikes, Tivo will document your viewing preferences and make viewing suggestions for you, most of which are pretty good ones How does all this work? The Tivo is equipped with a hard drive that can record up to 14 hours of programming and that automatically records, for temporary and instant recall, whatever television is being viewed The Tivo is also equipped with a 56K modem that ma a free daily phone call and downloads programming information for your cable service provider. After a short time, Tivo does all of the work for you, selecting your favorite shows and automatically recording them for viewing at your convenience (yeah, as if watching TV wasn't easy enough in the first place).

If there is a problem with the Tivo, it's the price—s399 retail, plus $lO a month for the Tivo service (o $199 for lifetime service).

But if you can't live without your shows, then Tivo is highly recommended. It's like steroids foryourTVD

Quashing quackery

The Food and Drug Administration should improve regulation of homeopathic drugs A Life Unexamined...

Edward Benson After preparing my taxes, I’d agree that regulations can be a drag. But there is a growing problem that requires an active regulatory role for the United States government—dietary supplements.

The Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act of 1994 changed the law of the land so that, as the Food and Drug Administration puts it, “ingredients used in dietary supplements are no longer subject to premarket safety evaluations.... They must, however, meet the requirements of other safety provisions.” Those provisions are essentially so that the product not present “a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury” when taken as directed.

Standard dosages of active ingredients need not be known, nor their purity or potentially dangerous interactions with drugs and other supplements. The products don’t even have to be effective.

It is simply enough that manufacturers’ “statements [must bel truthful and not misleading,” arid that all claims for the product be followed with this phrase: ‘This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”

Now let’s be clear: Dietary supplements, such as vitamins or herbs, can be effective. Numerous independent double-blind studies have demonstrated that vitamins are required in diets, and recently such serious science has been

applied to certain commercially popular

St. Johns Wort has been shown of St. John’sexample of this is the danger Wort reducing the effectiveclinically “equivalent” to the antidepresness of many prescription drugs and sants fluoxetine (G.

Another study, at the University very weak (McAlindon, JAMA, 2000). of Colorado, found that 50 percent of Homeopathy has repeatedly been tested surgery subjects kept taking such supin recent years in double-blind, placebocontrolled studies, and found to be roughly as effective as placebo; indeed, outside of explicit “homeopathic journals,” there is precious little evidence for effectiveness (e.g., J. Smolle, 1998; A. Vickers, 1998).

True, homeopathy usually uses substances so extremely diluted in water that not a single molecule of the substance remains in the dose. This is not intrinsically harmful. Likewise, there’s little apparent intrinsic harm in the “Vitamin 0” dietary supplement that was found to be, simply, salt water. That sold over a million bottles—at $25 a pop However, some harm may come to someone using an ineffective “remedy”— at best, being ripped off, but at worst, failing to use an effective medicine.

There is also another worry—the undocumented side-effects or unexpected interactions of dietary supplements.

The path to school reform

starts

plements in the two weeks prior to surgery—including herbs, such as gingko, that interfere with clotting.

So to the crux of the issue. For any given dietary supplement, there are only two possibilities: It doesn’t work, or it does. If it doesn’t, there isn’t any reason to take it, and claims to the contrary are misleading or outright fraudulent.

If, on the other hand, the product

does work, under current regulations, the consumer—who is unlikely to discuss the supplement with their doctorwill have no idea what the active ingredients are, how pure or concentrated they are and how they may interact.

In either case, more oversight is clearly demanded to protect consumers from being taken for a ride, or from being at risk from “natural” treatments that can easily do more harm than good.

Guides try to sell p-frosh on Duke

It’s

AT THE YMCA After an eight-day teacher strike, the Durham Early Learning Center at the YMCA finally reopened Wednesday under Duke-hired management. Because Duke subsidizes tuition at the ELC, many Duke parents went almost two weeks without day care for their children.

� TOURS from page 1 telling us all about why we should go to Harvard. My guide at UNC... totally turned me off to the school.”

Allison Bevan, an admissions officer who oversees

Duke’s tour guides, said she recognizes the impact the guides have. ‘Tour guides make probably the strongest and longest-lasting impression {on visitors],” she said.

“People on the tour have high expectations for their tour guides. They put a large burden of responsibility on them to reveal the institution.”

The tours are not explicitly scripted, but guides are trained in the sort of information they are expected to relay, Guttentag said. The 75 to 80 guides are all volunteers who have gone through an extensive interview process and proven that they have honest, positive and interesting things to say about the University they love.

“I hope that people would feel like they know Duke after a tour—not just about the academics, but what it’s like to eat in the Marketplace, to go to a basketball game, live on East Campus, stay up late talking to your roommate or stand and watch a bonfire,” said Ryan Mohling, a Trinity sophomore who has given tours since the beginning of the year.

Tour guides field questions on everything from drinking to residential life to rumors prospective students have heard about the school. “I had someone ask me about a rumor that a shipload of rock coming to Duke during construction accidentally got mixed up with one going to Vanderbilt which was being built at the same time, and so there is supposedly one building at Duke that looks like it should be at Vanderbilt and vice versa,” recalled Mohling. “I told her I didn’t know.”

Molding's response was unusual, said Bevan. She said that most tour guides try to provide answers to questions, even if they don’t really know. “Sometimes people ask inappropriate, ludicrous questions of their tour guides,” Bevan said. “I encourage the tour guides not to respond to questions about their SAT scores and how they’re paying for their education.”

Mohling acknowledged that the pressure from visitors can be trying. “I’ve had people think that I was an intricate part of the selection committee—like somehow I should know the emphasis that Duke puts on AP classes...” he said. “I just got a letter from a girl who I think was kissing up to me, as ifI had a say in the selection, saying what a greattour it was, how great Duke was, etc.

Maybe she just thought I was devilishly handsome.”

Because the University is just one of many schools on the elite college tour circuit, Guttentag said it’s important that Duke doesn’t get lost in the crowd. He said he encourages his staff to visit other colleges when they travel in the fall and spring to give information sessions, in order to see how Duke’s presentations differ.

“Your tour guides, I think, are very good,” said Chris Leesment, a visiting parent from New York, N.Y. ‘Take the DukeCard, for instance. All the other schools have similar systems, but no one else described it as appealingly or comprehensively,” she said.

But sometimes, Duke fails to separate itself from its competitors. “Each campus is distinct and appealing for different reasons,” said Viive Felmly, Leesment’s daughter. “You arrive with nothing in your head and you leave full of information. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to remember which school was which.”

Not all responses are positive, Guttentag acknowledges. “Duke is not for everybody” he said. “I think it’s better to have 95 percent of people very excited and 5 percent of people unhappy than it is to have 100 percent of the people leave with a vaguely positive impression.”

Guttentag said visitors’ main complaints arise from infrastructure problems relative to the physical inconvenience of having to trek from remote parking lots to the information session. But for the most part, he said, the feedback is quite positive.

Other prospective students say they are looking past tour guides’ personalities for their decisions. “I think it’s shallow to pick a school based on the tour guide and the weather,” said lan Cronin, a visiting ju-

UConn junior guard Khalid ElAmin will reportedly declare himself eligible for the NBA draft today. El-Amin has scheduled a 10 a.m. news conference at Gampel Pavilion to announce his decision. The 5-foot-10, 200-lb All-American is projected as a late first-round or early second-round pick.

The third-ranked Blue Devils now own an 0-7 lifetime mark against Virginia. Duke lost to

the Cavaliers three times last year during its unprecedented run to the Final Four, including a heartbreaking 9-8 defeat in the national semifinals.

To say that Virginia has had the Blue Devils’ number is like

other traditional powers such as Maryland, North Carolina and Princeton, the Blue Devils have still failed to hang an ‘L’ on the Wahoos.

“In terms of never beating them, I think that’s on everyone’s mind,” senior goalie Shannon Chaney said. “[Still], it doesn’t matter that we’ve never beaten them, it’s the fact that we need to play well against them [tomorrow].”

On paper, the Cavaliers seem especially vulnerable this season. Against conference opponents Maryland and North Carolina, UVa has looked like it didn’t belong on the same field. The Cavs were not competitive in either contest, losing 17-8 to the Terps and 12-5 to the Tar Heels.

But like Lee Corso ofthe ESPN GameDay crew, Chaney offers up

saying Michael Jordan was a pretty good basketball player.

T.J. Duman seeks a return trip to the Final Four in his senior year

By NEAL MORGAN The Chronicle

In the summer of ’97, T.J. Duman fulfilled a lifelong dream.

The then-freshman was playing in the Final Four, the ultimate fantasy for any lacrosse player. Duman didn’t start back then, only seeing time in extra-man situations, but none of that mattered.

The early-season frustrations of losing that third starting spot in the front line were long past. That afternoon, there was no place Durnan would rather be than an ordinary-looking field in College Park, Md.

Duman stepped out onto the Byrd Stadium grass and looked around in awe. The stadium was packed with thousands of fans and things moved in slow motion for the young kid from Rockville Centre, N.Y. “It was like a dream,” Durnan said. “Growing up playing lacrosse, that’s what everyone wants to do.”

Three years after reaching

the pinnacle ofthe sport, Duman wants nothing more than a return trip to that ordinary field at this year’s Final Four.

But back when Durnan

was living out his dream, it seemed almost a given he’d be back. But back-to-back quar-

terfinal losses, including last year’s disastrous upset loss to Georgetown, leaves the senior with just one more chance.

“Last year, we had an awesome season but we didn’t get there,” Durnan said. “[The seniors] know that this is our last chance to get there. It would be pretty tough if we didn’t. We feel this year it’s kind of fated for us to get back to the Final Four.”

Fate is one word to describe See

For the past 12 years, Wallace Wade Stadium has come alive for the GM-Duke Invitational, drawing collegiate and elite athletes from around the country.

But this isn’t just any year for Duke track. And this meet, which kicks off at 2 p.m. today and ends around 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, won’t be just like every other Duke Invitational.

“We’re really looking forward to the Duke Invitational this weekend,” men’s associate coach Norm Ogilvie said. “It’s really one of the premier meets on the East Coast.”

The meet will serve as a springboard for Duke’s banner year in track, which includes the ACC championships later this month, the NCAA championships in May and the retirement of Duke track legend A1 The Duke Buehler.

Invitational will feature more collegiate teams than usual and several elite athletes who are hoping to make the Olympics in September.

Tiger Who? Unknown Paulson grabs early lead at Augusta

By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

Somebody forgot AUGUSTA, Ga. to tell Dennis Paulson that Augusta National is tougher,than ever.

Tiger Woods knew all too well.

On a day when Woods made his first triple bogey in 541 holes and finished behind two guys in their 60s, Paulson’s maiden voyage in the Masters turned into a memorable 4under 68 that gave him a one-stroke lead over Tom Lehman.

“Maybe lack of knowledge is better,

not knowing how hard this course is supposed to be,” said Paulson, a 37-yearold Californian whose biggest victory came on the Nike Tour.

Or maybe he just was too happy to be in the Masters to care.

Paulson ran into the same kind of trouble that stalled everyone else on a blustery day at Augusta, making a double bogey on No. 11. But he also had an eagle and five birdies that gave him the lead after the first round of the first major championship of the year.

Lehman managed to avoid a train wreck until the end.

Playing without a bogey for the first 17 holes, an amazing feat considering the tough new rough and treacherous always winds, he drove into the trees on the 18th and took double bogey to lose the lead.

“If you avoid hitting

Make that two blips for Woods, the prohibitive favorite to win his second green jacket. And he wasn’t bothered, either.

The Wahoos field a team that is capable of reaching the NCAA finals for the third time in four years.

Defense is once again the benchmark for this talented bunch. Between the pipes, they are led by senior Frances Segarra, who has emerged into one of the premier goalkeepers in the nation this season. In 11 games, she has allowed just 76 goals.

“She’s much improved from last year,” Virginia coach Julie Myers said, “and she keeps getting better.

You expect your goalies to make the easy saves and then also some of the great saves. She’s done that so far this year and we hope for more of the same on Saturday.”

Amy Fromal also returns for the Cavaliers to anchor the explosive midfield. Fromal, the 1997 ACC rookie of the year and two-time All-ACC performer, is one of the best in the nation. The first-team AllAmerican has 18 goals and five assists on the year.

“She’s an awesome midfielder,” Myers said. “She has great speed, quickness and tenacity. She really helps us out with defense and transition and she has the ability to score. She has the complete game.”

Despite the abundance of talent on the Cavalier roster, they limp into tomorrow’s matchup losers of three of their last four. More surprisingly, they enter as underdogs.

“We’re underdogs and it’s a different feeling for us,” Myers said. “Duke is a top-10 team and this is our next best challenge and we need to take advantage of it.”
