Fingerprints hold key to some doors Old House CC endures restrictions

By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

When Duke pioneered across-theboard use of college identification cards in 1985, many observers touted the move as the wave of the future for similar security-concerned institutions.

But in an age when new technologies emerge faster than you can say “DukeCardit looks like a part of the Gothic Wonderland may be turning to a system in which people enter buildings and offices by scanning their fingerprints instead of their ID cards.

Although it sounds like a fanciful device out of Mission Impossible the prospect is already a reality. As of now, one handprint scanner and three fingerprint scanners dot the campus: two fingerprint readers in the pharmacology department, one fingerprint scanner in the Schwartz-Butters Athletic Center and a handprint scanner in the lock, key and hardware shop.

Jimmy Tilley, supervisor of the lock, key and hardware shop, declined to comment on the specific cost of the new technology, but said the equipment cost “a little more than a manual lock change, a little less than a card reader.”

He said that the handprint system, which was set up in his office as a tester, has been running for four years.

Tim Haystead, whose lab in the pharmacology department is protected by the new technology, explained that the cost of operating a DukeCard system—about $6,000 for two units and installation fees, plus a $lOO monthly security monitoring fee—is significantly greater than the fingerprint technology, which costs about

The former selective house was disbanded at the end of last year for what was cited as a “broad record of unreliability and unresponsiveness.” Group members can no longer hold any social functions or they risk losing University recognition indefinitely.

“As far as throwing parties go, we’re looking past that right now,” said this year’s would-be president junior Dave Alspector. “It’s much harder than I thought, not having a section. So far, we’ve been doing a really good job.”

For N.C. votes, Bush launches ads while Gore waits Pundits say the traditionally GOP state could swing either way this fall By

JAMES HERRIOTT The Chronicle

For the past 20 years, North Carolina has been a “gimme” state for Republican presidential candidates. But this year, Republican presidential nominee Gov. George W. Bush of Texas isn’t counting his Carolinian chickens before they hatch.

Following Democratic presidential nominee and vice president A1 Gore’s recent bounce in the polls, the Texas Governor has aired television commercials in North Carolina and 20 other states.

“We know that Democrats said they were going to make North Carolina a target,” said Tucker Eskew, a spokesperson for the Bush campaign in Austin, Texas. “We expected a close race all along and a bounce after Gore’s convention, and we have been making strategic decisions based on our predictions.”

Despite Eskew’s expectations of Gore’s strategy, members of the Gere camp said that there are no current plans to air TV commercials in the state or for Gore and his running mate, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, to visit.

Education,

Scott Falmlen, executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party, explained that due to limited campaign resources, Gore is waiting to spend money and energy in the state.

“It’s a matter of husbanding resources until the real campaign begins in the fall,” he said.

Falmlen added that because the state has traditionally leaned Republican, past presidential candidates have not considered the state in play. This year, however, he thinks things could be different.

“I think North Carolina will be very competitive and I think Gore has a very good chance here,” Falmlen said.

Eskew said that the political climate in North Carolina has changed in recent years.

“North Carolina has a Democratic governor and a Democratic senator—who Gore nearly nominated for the vice presidency—and a sizable swing vote.”

Michael Briggs, a spokesperson for North

Carolina Senator John Edwards, said that Gore has the full support of the senator. Although Edwards currently has no formal plans to campaign See CAMPAIGN

Split over missile defense plan widens Officials disagree over when the defense project would violate a key treaty

By STEVEN MYERS N.Y. Times News Service

WASffINGTON The Pentagon and the State Department are sharply divided over how far work on a limited national missile defense system could proceed before the United States would be required to give Russia formal notice it was violating a crucial arms control treaty.

Officials in the Pentagon and State Department said disagreement within the administration was a primary reason for Defense Secretary William Cohen’s delay in making a recommendation to President Bill Clinton this month on proceeding with the project.

The debate has focused on when

construction of the missile system, which involves elaborate radar installations, would violate the AntiBallistic Missile Treaty of 1972, which lies at the heart of the arms controls built up over the Cold War. The Russians have steadfastly refused any change in the treaty to permit elaborate new radar installations, fearing that they would lead to a larger system that would undermine Russia’s nuclear force.

Officials from the agencies said Cohen was wrong when he told the Senate Armed Services Committee last month that administration lawyers had reached a consensus.

Cohen said then that there was agreement that building a crucial

radar station in Alaska could continue until 2002 before the United States would violate the treaty.

That represents just one ofthree interpretations drafted by administration lawyers, the officials said.

But senior policy-makers at the State Department and the National Security Council are strongly opposed, the officials added. The opponents contend that this interpretation would be overly aggressive and unilateral, and would surely anger the Russians and European allies.

A spokesperson for the Pentagon, Rear Admiral Craig Quigley, said Cohen and his aides declined to discuss his Senate testimony.

Varsity reaches legal agreement The online textbook retailer settles a suit filed by the National Association of College Stores, which claimed Varsity made false advertising claims. "

President Pam Wells hopes to get more students actively involved in the organization.

This is the first story in a three-part series spotlighting Duke’s top student leaders.

The Chronicle

Students can now expect more textbooks at advertised discount rates thanks to a compromise made earlier this month between the National Association of College Stores, Inc., and the Varsity Group Inc.—the parent company ofVarsityßooks.com.

The settlement agrees that Varsity, one of the nation’s largest online textbook retailers—will no longer advertise discounts as high as 40 percent unless 10 percent of the books it sells are actually being sold at that discounted rate. In addition, 10 percent of the sold books at the maximum discount must be books currently in use by college professors.

“It has always been our belief that their claims have been misleading,” said Laura Nakoneczny, director of public relations for NAGS. “Instead of being told you can buy at a 40 percent discount, you’ll actually understand in advance what kind of things you’re buying.”

This brings to a close a nine-month legal dispute between Varsity and the NAGS—an association of 3,000 college bookstores, including Duke University stores and the Book Exchange in Durham. The NAGS contended that Varsity made false and misleading advertisements about the discounts that online retailer offered.

A Washington court dismissed one of the two allegations last fall, and Varsity representatives insist that the settlement of the second will have little effect on the company’s goal of providing affordable textbooks for students.

“This suit and settlement will have no overall effect See VARSITY BOOKS on page 10 I*

Spreading the Union word

As students frantically run around campus preparing for the semester, senior Pam Wells can calmly keep her composure through the usually tumultuous transition into the school year. She has already laid out specific plans to better what might be one of the University’s best-kept secrets: the Union.

This year Wells, the Union president, anticipates “getting the word out about the Union” and “getting more students active and involved” in the organization—goals that the organization direly needs to fulfill, if some Duke students’ attitudes are any indicator.

Many Duke students interviewed for this story had only a vague knowledge of the organization.

“I’ve heard the name, just don’t know what it does,” said junior Justin Loona.

Junior Meccasia Zabriskie knew about certain aspects of the Union, but only because she had previous experience working with the organization.

“Major Speakers is run through it; it is very important because it is students’ way to get programming on campus,” Zabriskie said.

Wells became enamored with the Union her freshman year when she was a member of the On Stage committee. That same year she befriended Jeff Hindman, former Union president. Hindman encouraged Wells to remain involved and run for an office. During her sophomore year, Wells took a chair position on the On Stage committee. But it was her junior year that she believed prepared her best for her new position, for during that year she studied abroad in Italy. • “It helped me take a perspective on what I wanted to do when I got back,” Wells said. “Going abroad helped develop interpersonal skills because I didn’t go on a Duke program,” she explained.

It was those same interpersonal skills that encouraged her to run for president. “It was more of a ‘carpe diem’ moment for me to try out for presi-

dent,” she said.

To prepare for her presidential role, Wells not only took summer courses to free up her schedule, but she put together 12-page pamphlets for undergraduate students, mailed letters home to all incoming freshmen, placed information about the

Although Wells is full of ideas on how to improve the Union, she does not believe the organization pro-

over 40,000 people attended Union events last year.

“We did a great job of bringing the community together last year, especially with events like Oktoberfest and Springfest. We have a great balance of tradition by always being open to new ideas; it’s what keeps us going,” Wells said.

This year, Wells is not only excited about the new approaches the committees are taking, but about the individual committees and their members. And she is not the only one excited about her co-workers. The Union vice-president, Koshie Lamptey, summed up her feelings for Wells in two words; “She’s together.”

Another one of Well’s officers, junior Abhijit Prabhu, the Union communication director, believes that Wells will have no difficulty fulfilling her leadership role. “Pam will be successful in achieving her goals because she has some insight into Duke through her three years at Duke, her commitments

Education levels linked to heart attack survival An international trial reveals a higher mortality rate in patients with blue collar jobs and fewer years of education

By MARKO DJUKANOVIC The Chronicle

Who knew a $30,000-a-year tuition could buy you a few extra years of life?

A new, internationally conducted Medical Center study revealed that people with a college degree and a white collar job can expect to live longer after a heart attack.

“The less education you have, the more likely you are to die within a year [of a heart attack!,” said Dr. Conor O’Shea, a Duke Clinical Research Institute cardiologist and lead author of

the study.

The study analyzed socioeconomic data collected from an international trial that included over 15,000 patients from over a dozen countries.

O’Shea explained he used a traditional marker of wealth, the number of years of education, to represent socioeconomic status.

Information about actual household income is very difficult to collect due to privacy issues, and looking at zip codes is often an unreliable way of determining wealth.

O’Shea’s team modified the raw data to adjust for relevant factors like age and also limited the study’s international scope to only include countries where at least 500 patients were enrolled, thereby narrowing the field to 11,300 patients. Using this new data set, the researchers

discovered that

19.8 percent of patients with less than eight years of education died within a year after the heart attack, compared with only a 3.5 percent death rate among patients with over 16 years of education.

Additionally, the death rate for patients who worked in management positions was 3.8 percent versus 5.1 per-

cent amongst the laborers.

O’Shea did not attribute these findings to any specific factors but speculated that lower socioeconomic status may be associated with increased smoking, an inability to vary one’s diet and lowered access to cardiac intervention and medication.

Factors like these play prominent roles in increasing the risk of dying within one year of a heart attack.

O’Shea’s next project will focus on identifying the dynamics of these factors in educated and less-educated populations.

The study’s raw data also initially indicated that patients who live alone are at a greater risk of dying after a

heart attack, but the adjusted data was not conclusive because the majority ofthe patients who lived alone were

also older.

“The data was driven by the older age of patients,” said O’Shea.

“When the data was adjusted [for patients’ age] it didn’t show an increased risk of dying.”

1-year Mortality Rate by Years of Education in Selected Enrolling Countries The confidence intervals for each of the five countries below signify that 95% of the data obtained during the international trial fits into the ranges shown.

The international nature ofthe trial made the data analysis process a bit different than most Medical Center research projects.

In addition to translation and data collection challenges, cultural differences had the potential to seriously alter the study’s results.

For example, when researchers attempted to ascertain how much alcohol

the patients consumed on a daily basis, definition problems arose.

“A beer to an American is 12 ounces versus a liter to a German,” said DCRI senior statistician Amanda Stebbins.

To compensate for such occurrences, Stebbins explained, international trials use steering committees that help modify the study’s design to reflect the specifics of the countries involved.

University taps NSOE professor to lead dean search

From staff reports Nicholas School of the Environment Professor Randall Kramer will lead the search for a new dean to current dean Norm Christensen, the University an-

nounced Tuesday.

The committee includes seven people: NSOE professor Richard Barber; NSOE associate professors Richard Di Giulio and Emily Klein; John Rarer, vice provost for academic affairs; Irwin Fridovich, James B. Duke professor of biochemistry; Robert Keohane, James B. Duke professor of political science; and Douglass Rohrman of the NSOE Board of Visitors.

Christensen announced last year that he will step down from his post in July to teach and conduct research. A professor of ecology, he has been at the University for 27 years and has been dean of the NSOE since July 1991.

Explosion forces evacuation: Employees were forced to evacuate Monday afternoon after a safety exhaust hood exploded in an unoccupied laboratory in the Bryan Research Building. No injuries were reported and damage was confined to the hood. The explosion’s cause is unknown, but the incident is being investigated by the University’s occupational and environmental safety office.

Professor promoted: John Payne, the Joseph J. Ruvance, Jr. professor of management, has been promoted to deputy dean of the Fuqua School of Business, Dean Rex Adams announced last week. Payne will oversee all academic programs at the school and replace Blair Sheppard, who left the position to serve as the president and CEO of Duke’s newly created consulting company—Duke Corporate Education.

Adams also announced that Daniel Nagy has been appointed as the associate dean for MBA program operations. In this capacity, he will report to Payne and oversee admissions, operations and corporate relationships.

Associate professors Alison Ashton and James Smith also received promotions. Ashton will now serve as the school’s associate dean for the executive MBA program, while Smith will serve as an associate dean for

school’s daytime MBA program.

Vice President Al Gore, for his part, has responded to the challenge on an issue that has been especially strong for Democrats ever since President Lyndon Johnson got the first law on federal aid to public schools enacted 35 years ago over the opposition of most Republicans.

“I think it’s time to make revolutionary improvements in our public schools the number-one priority in the nation,” Gore declared in a speech last week in Chicago to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.

While both candidates are emphasizing education, their approaches are quite different.

Bush focuses on making schools more accountable for their students’ performance, and talks about the importance

WASHINGTON His campaign has kept careful count. When Gov. George W. Bush goes to Springfield High School in Holland, Ohio, outside Toledo Thursday, he will be making his 100th visit to a school since he began running for president 14 months ago.

It is predictable what he will say, because he says it at almost every stop almost every day, rain or shine, no matter the audience, even when he has only five or 10 minutes to speak.

It goes like this: ‘This nation of ours must challenge what I like to call the soft bigotry of low expectations. Every child can learn. It starts with raising people’s sights and raising expectations and refusing to yield, refusing to accept a curriculum that won’t work.”

Five years after the Republican Congress shut down the government in part because of the money President Bill Clinton wanted to spend on education, four years after Bob Dole embraced a Republican platform that advocated abolishing the Department of Education, Bush has made an expand-

of local control. The modest additional

spending he proposes would go primarily toward a program to help disadvan-

taged children learn to read.

Gore, by contrast, would increase federal spending on education by 50 percent, $ll5 billion over the next decade.

Clinton faces conflicting advice on missile defense decision ft*-

MISSILE DEFENSE from page 2

Cohen is the administration’s leading advocate of missile defenses.

Aides to Clinton declined to discuss the internal debate but confirmed that officials were considering several options and that Cohen’s statement last month did not reflect a consensus view. “It is true that there are a number of options available to the president,” said P.J. Crowley, a National Security Council spokesperson.

The question of when the United States would violate the treaty is a pivotal one that Clinton has to answer before approving even limited steps to begin building a radar station on Shemya Island at the western edge of the Aleutians. The Russians would surely object to the United States and its allies. American officials’ interpretations vary based on when in the construction process the treaty violation would occur.

Cohen is now widely expected to make a recommendation to Clinton in a few weeks on how to proceed. But the officials said the legal questions could delay a decision to move ahead further.

The division is so sharp that Clinton may be forced to choose among conflicting advice, if he decides to move ahead at all.

“This is really squishy business,” a senior military officer said. “Smart lawyers can disagree.”

Under the Pentagon timetable, the first contracts for the Alaska radar work, as well as a site for the missile interceptors, would have to be awarded this year so that work could begin next spring and a working system could be in place by the administration’s goal of 2005.

Intelligence officials have warned that the United States could face a threat from some countries, including North Korea, by then. There is universal agreement that building the radar would amount to a

three legal interpretations of the treaty that, in their view, would allow some work to begin without breaking the treaty.

In his appearance before the Senate’s Armed Services Committee July 25 and again at a news conference the next day, Cohen said administration lawyers had reached a consensus that the United States would not violate the treaty until workers laid down rails that would support the radar itself at the station at Shemya. That is not scheduled to happen until 2002.

Cohen emphasized that Clinton had not yet made a decision, but at the news conference he added, “There is a consensus that until such time as the construction is under way that would lay the rail, so to speak, for the actual radar being deployed there, that would not constitute a breach.”

But defense and administration officials said Cohen was using the most liberal interpretation of the treaty.

Not so long ago, the twenty-first century was widely predicted to become the “Asian century.” But now it seems more likely to become a “global century,’’dominated perhaps not by any one region but rather by global media of communication and multi-polar power structures. A key phenomenon of globalization is regional integration, spearheaded by the European Community. Meanwhile, the nations, economic zones, and cultural spheres of East Asia envision and put into practice their own version of regionalism.

How have Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese seen each other in relation to the geographical space they have inhabited, and what contexts have significantly shaped their interactions? Why, for instance, is regional integration in East Asia more tentative and informal than in Europe?

violation of the treaty. The administration had hoped to negotiate amendments with the Russians that would permit the limited system now being developed, but Moscow has refused.

Officials previously said Clinton would decide this summer whether to deploy a system. But with the Russians objecting and even the allies expressing concern, the officials have since signaled that Clinton simply plans to decide whether to move ahead with an initial development. He would leave a final decision to deploy—and break the treaty—to the next administration.

That is why the legal interpretations have become so important, because each interpretation sets a different moment when Clinton must, as the treaty requires, give the Russians six months’ notice ofAmerican intent to withdraw from its anti-missile restrictions.

At the White House’s request, lawyers from the State Department and the Pentagon have drafted the

Through our readings, lectures, and discussions, the grouping that is East Asia emerges primarily as a product of a shared modern history. Tracing international, transnational, as well as sub-regional relations from the pre-modern era through the end of the twentieth century, we will identify and examine the most important forces that have shaped East Asia historically. Concurrently, we will develop a critical perspective on what it means to study East Asia from within the American academic tradition of area studies.

relations for the National Education Association, said her union was “in perfect alignment with the vice president.”

But her union’s members might not feel that way. For example, when Gore spoke last spring to the Michigan Education Association, he was vigorously applauded when he described his plans for recruiting teachers and increasing salaries. But his remarks about making teachers more accountable were met with icy silence.

Polls show Bush’s strategy has helped close a gap between Republicans and Democrats on education. In 1988, when Bush’s father was running for president, 55 percent of those questioned in a New York Times/CBS News poll said Democrats were more likely to improve education; 23 percent said Republicans were. In answer to the same question last month, the Democrats’ lead narrowed, with 45 percent of respondents favoring Democrats’ chances of improving education and 33 percent the Republicans’.

Both candidates offer a ream of

specific policy proposals. Bush would spend $1 billion a year for five years to train teachers to diagnose and correct reading problems. Just last week, he offered modest proposals to build and repair schools on and near military bases and to give grants to historically black and Hispanic colleges.

Additionally, Bush would penalize states with a loss of 5 percent of their federal aid if they did not give standardized reading and math tests to students in the third- through the

eighth-grade and publish the results.

Gore aims to spend $5O billion over 10 years to provide public preschools for all 4-year-olds and many 3-yearolds. He would offer interest-free bonds for school construction and modernization, provide money for raising teacher

pay, award signing bonuses to recruits and give tax credits to offset the cost of college for students from families with incomes below about $lOO,OOO a year.

Oddly, given Gore’s assertions in recent weeks about the specificity of his policy proposals, his campaign was unable this week to provide a breakdown of exactly how the $ll5 billion extra he intends to spend on education over the next 10 years would be allocated.

In any event, the precise policy proposals of the candidates are less important than the principles they espouse. That is because Congress develops education programs and is likely to devote approximately the same amount of resources to education regardless of who is president.

But Washington’s influence on public education could depend on who is elected. Gore would have the government much more involved in local

education matters. Bush would mostly keep his hands off except for holding schools responsible for the progress oftheir students.

The emphasis on education in this year’s campaign, far greater than in any recent presidential race, is odd for two reasons.

First, the federal government is a relatively minor player in education compared with the state and local governments. The $23.5 billion Washington is spending this year on public schools is only 7 percent of the schools’ $340 billion in total spending.

Second, there is no evidence that the public is paying significantly

more attention to education this year

than in the past. Polls have shown all year that 5 percent to 10 percent of the voters say education is the most important problem facing the government. About the same percentage of voters rank health care, Social Security, Medicare or taxes first.

“We love the settlement. It creates a standard about the level of claims and discounts that can be made,” Nakoneczny said.

She added that the NAGS is now engaged in talks with ecampus.com and bigwords.com regarding advertising inaccurate sale prices. “Students can expect more books they need will be offered within advertised discount ranges.”

University officials said they were also pleased by the settlement. . Tm glad there is a settlement that designates proper ways to advertise

textbooks on campus,” said Jim Wilkerson, director of Duke University stores.

He added that the online textbook industry has not significantly hurt Duke University Store sales in the past few years.

Although Duke University stores is currently working with web-designers to create a web site to sell books online, it does not see companies such as Varsity as significant competition.

“I continue to believe that those online companies staying in business must remain competitive,” said Wilkerson.

Market investors tend to agree with Wilkerson. NACS’s initial judicial compliant was filed in October, just months before the Varsity Group’s February initial public offering—where the firms traded for just under $lO days. Upon news of the settlement, the company’s stock fell to just over a dollar.

Biometrics more Edwards ‘stands ready’ for Gore secure than cards I*

FINGERPRINT from page 1

$2,000 total for both of the pharmacology department’s systems.

“Biometrics in general have come way down in price,” said Richard Spencer, general manager of Tennyson Biometric Systems, which sold Duke the tech-

nology. “Where they used to be $4,000, $5,000 and $6,000, now the price is well under $2,000.” He added that he negotiated a special price with Duke officials.

The pharmacology department, located in the Levine Science Research Center, uses the security system to protect the delicate, expensive equipment used in Haystead’s genomics and proteomics research. The fingerprint readers were installed in two rooms this week, and Haystead, an instructor of pharmacology and cancer biology, said it is working well so far.

“The instrumentation that’s in those rooms is very valuable and we want to make sure it’s secure...,” Haystead said, adding that about 10 people have clearance for the rooms. “They’re delicate instruments and you have to be careful you don’t have a lot of traffic.”

In the Schwartz-Butters building, a fingerprint scanner is used in the elevator system. To access the building’s first-floor locker rooms or its sixth-floor basketball offices—those ofhead coach Mike Krzyzewski; his assistant, Gerry Brown; Assistant Athletic Director Mike Cragg; and tutoring program coordinator Mike Schrage—elevator users must scan their fingers and punch in personal pass codes.

“Especially in the athletic and [physical education] departments, the comment has been going on for years that people that go down and go into the locker room and put on gym clothes have to find someplace on their gym clothes to put a card...,” Tilley explained. “I’m not saying a card isn’t very secure. But if you’re playing tennis and you have your card in a towel lying next to the tennis court, anyone could pick it up.”

Because the building’s elevator will not reach the sixth floor without clearance from the high-security device, there has been some speculation that it was designed to protect the privacy of Krzyzewski’s office.

But athletic department officials denied the buzz.

In fact, Cragg said they restricted access to the sixth floor because it does not have a receptionist. The men’s basketball team offices also are located on the fifth floor, where a receptionist can give clearance to visitors to ascend to the sixth floor.

“It’s not a Coach K thing—it’s a building issue... said Jon Jackson, director of sports information. “It’s not an attempt to waylay everyone from that floor.”

'P- CAMPAIGN from page 1 for Gore in North Carolina, Briggs said that “Edwards has told former Commerce Secretary and campaign chairman Bill Daley that he stands ready to do whatever they want him to do.”

Edwards reportedly also has told Daley that other states in the South could be within Gore’s reach.

“Senator Edwards has said that several states in the South could be in play if the vice president’s campaign wants to spend the resources to make them in play,” Briggs said.

However, Ted Arrington, professor of political science at University of North Carolina in Charlotte, is skeptical of the vice president’s chances in North Carolina.

“Even if he does really well nationally, I don’t

think he’s going to win in North Carolina too,” Arrington said.

He added, “It’s a southern state, all of the southern states have been trending Republican for fifty years now. You just look at the past and you say, ‘ls Gore going to beat that trend?’ No. ‘ls Bush some way repellent to good old southern boys?’ No, he’ll fit right in Based on this, Arrington does not expect Gore or Bush to spend much effort in North Carolina unless Gore is leading significantly in national polls, adding that Cheney’s Charlotte visit later this week is mostly for fund-raising purposes.

‘The only reason that Cheney is visiting is because [Charlotte] is where the banks are,” he said.

“As bank robbers say, you rob banks because that is ”

A time for prayer

/

Public school officials —as representatives of

the government—should not be allowed to participate in student-led prayer sessions.

This

June, the Supreme Court ruled against a Texas school board that allowed students to choose by majority vote to have student-led religious “invocations” at school events such as football games and graduation.

Since this ruling, schools throughout the country, and even in the North Carolina, have experienced “spontaneous student-led” prayer at school events —an act, which under the ruling, falls within the bounds

of protected speech.

But prayer sessions that are motivated, scheduled and advertised by students and parents alone are uncommon. School administrators are rarely uninvolved—and in many cases they overtly participate.

Two things remain unsettled by the Supreme Court’s ruling: how far schools may go to accommodate these prayer sessions and whether school officials may join in.

Increasingly, school officials are sanctioning the desires of the religious by allotting time for any “student-led” prayer that may arise. For example, each week in Hattiesburg, Miss., school officials sponsor a period of time before football games when members of the crowd have started prayer sessions.

This sort of accommodation is inappropriate and borders an establishment ofreligion by the school. When a school makes allowances for religious activity, it sends the message that school administrators prioritize spirituality.

Just as school officials should not support a specific kind of religious activity, they certainly should not deem other perspectives on God insignificant. By supporting prayer before school events, administrators send a negative message to those who pray to different gods, as well as those who choose not to pray at all.

Of course, many public administrators do participate in religious activity outside of their government jobs. While they are off duty, teachers, principals and staff are guaranteed the rights of all citizens, including the right to free speech and religious expression—even if it takes place at a school-related event.

On-duty school officials, however, represent the state government.

By participating in “student-led” prayers, these state officials lend potentially unconstitutional credence to religious activity.

Admittedly, the Supreme Court’s decision is vague and does not specifically limit the school’s role in these student-led prayer sessions.

Still, it is important that we set up a standard: When the letter of a ruling is vague, the spirit should not get lost in interpretation.

Letters to the Editor

OIT responds to recent complaint about ACES I wanted to respond to the letter from Christina Askounis concerning her frustration with the ACES system. First of all, I under-

stand how frustrating it has been over the last few days for pre-major advisers who are trying to work with firstyear students to drop or add courses online. There has been a number of hardware and software problems related to the new online web registration system. These problems have caused some users to be unable to access the ACES system at all or to be dropped from the system in the middle of working with a student. OIT staff have been

for referenced

working round the clock to

solve the particular hardware and software problems that arise. Once the drop/add period is over, we will be working with the registrar’s office to determine what changes need to be made in the system to prevent this from happening in the future.

The one comment I had difficulty with in Askounis’ letter is her comment that “OIT saw the whole thing coming but opted to sit back and watch the train wreck from a safe distance.”

Certainly, had we had any indication that any of these problems might occur, we

would have done whatever we could to avoid them.Since

the web registration system is extremely complex, there are a number of factors that have impacted performance and caused system failures, and it was impossible to predict them. I would not want anyone to think that the OIT

staff—which is right now working so hard to fix the

problems with ACES—would in any way have allowed the problems to happen in the first place.

letter, see http://www.chronicle.duke.edu/chronicle/2000108/29/ 140itaces.html

Administration frustrates with electronic ACES We would like to congratulate the administration on its recent superhuman efforts to change our school for the better. We never thought that the University could top the architectural masterpiece that is the Schaeffer Tennis Center a.k.a. The Barn—but the new high-tech ACES web proved us wrong. Using this efficient registration system, adding a class is only one click and 800 refreshes away. Nothing screams excitement like spending your afternoon staring at a screen that reads “The page cannot be displayed,” unless you count spending your weekend nights driving your car to and from scenic North campus. We were willing to —

accept the fact that we had to park further away because of the new dorms, but we were just ecstatic to find out that we get to move our cars to make room for the hordes—seven freshmen—of screaming football

fans. At least they got rid of parties on West so that we don’t have to worry about avoiding drunk drivers on our way anymore.

We guess that, between the nifty ACES system and

the parking fiasco, the administration figured we would be too busy to notice the disappearance of an Granted eatery. the University Plumbers Union may have applauded the closing of Han’s, but if the Oak Room were to close as well and consequently stop

providing leftovers, where would the Great Hall get its choice entrees? If you are looking for a well-balanced meal, we now have several mouthwatering options.

The Pitts offers an exciting selection of chicken, chicken, or chicken, but if you are feeling a little dangerous, you can always go to the Armadillo Grill and get chicken wrapped in a tortilla. We wait with baited breath to see what innovations the University has in store for basketball season.

Ron Jeremy

Letters from

the left Dana Vachon

“You’re too fair skinned, Dana.”

“Give up your stupid dream, Pre!”

Then 1bathed in “George Hamilton’s Bronze Liquid Tanner” for 24 hours straight.

But I wasn’t paying attention to all that. I was thinking of gold in Munich... and also of taking off my clothes fof money.

Before I could get anywhere, I needed to look a bit more mature. So I sprayed Rogaine all over my chest, back, and armpits. Then I bathed in “George Hamilton’s Bronze Liquid Tanner” for 24 hours straight.

When I hopped out of the bathtub after that long day, I looked so money I could have opened my own hedge fund. There was only one thing missing—and after stuffing a few pairs ofsocks down the front of my Speedo—this too was taken care of.

Before long, I was ready to take the stage... as “Lando, the Mediterranean Playboy.”

My dance number was something special. I would come out onto the stage to the song, “Big Pimpin’.”

Only to add a creative flair, I cut out all of the parts when they sang about pimpin’ “up in NYC.” Then, in my best impression of a Greek accent, I did a voice over. When I was done, the song’s refrain went, “Big Pimpin’... in Greece.” This was to bring the music in keeping with the Mediterranean feel that I was working toward with my act. As an artist, this was very important to me After the music came on, I’d do a few push-ups on stage, just to prep my body for the intense cardiovascular workout that was my act. Then I would break into some authentic Greek dances. These typically involved holding one of my feet behind my back with one hand and then hopping up and down and slapping the other foot as I hopped. Occasionally I would break plates, or scream “Opa!” Interestingly, “Opa” isn’t a Greek word. It just sounds like it is.

Then the real adulation would start, and this is when it was all worth while. Women would come up to the stage and stuff my Jockeys full of dollar bills. For five dollars they could feel my Rogaine generated chest hair. A veritable hunka-hunka bumin’ love.

For the coup de grace I would read aloud a passage from Zorba the Greek, using nothing but what nature gave me to turn the pages as I went.

Alvin Ailey and Bob Fosse never had talent like this.

Trinity junior Dana Vachon is a very proud member of the International Stripper's and Lap Dancer's Union.

The revolution cometh

Barely a summer

Vergil described rumor—in the Latin, fama—as a many eyed feathered beast, swooping from mouth to ear and spreading itself like wildfire. Upon first reading his description, I thought that he just had very serious psychosexual issues with avians but now I know better. Now I know exactly what he was talking about.

Over the past few days, nasty stories have been spreading about my activities over the past summer. I have decided to confront them for once and for all.

It is true that I spent the summer as a male stripper at Chippendales in Los Angeles. What is even more true is that I loved every second of it, and to this day, I keep my blue Speedo as a reminder of all that the experience meant to me.

I had always had a real interest in choreography, and also an acute affection for middle aged women. In my duties as a stripper at Chippendales I found a happy marriage for these twin passions and an experience that I will not soon forget, though I won’t tell you that it was easy.

When I first got out to L.A., the going was tough Every establishment I visited, I was turned down.

‘Ton don’t have the right physique, Dana.”

PAGE

Ben Weller This summer we witnessed a

true surge in political participation, not at the ballot box but in the streets. We also witnessed the predictable result of increased

government repression.

The citizens who took to the streets in Philadelphia and Los Angeles for the Republican and Democratic national conventions came to peacefully protest a twoparty system dominated by a handful of wealthy individuals and corporations. They came to protest a brutal and racist police force, an unsustainable and imperialistic structure of world trade, a failed and costly drug war and a culture of materialism rather than human values.

These protesters relayed their message through peaceful civil disobedience, creative expression and sheer mass. The army of police who came to meet them delivered their masters’ message through force, intimidation and the manipulation of the

lists and drug manufacturers were courted by the politicians and treated to parties at private clubs.

Outside the conventions, in the streets, the“criminals” were dragged off to jail and their bails set at often as high as six digits—John Sellars, leader of the Ruckus Society, was held on a $1 million bail in Philadelphia for “conspiring to block traffic.” Their crimes ranged from “failure to disperse” to protesting outside of the “designated free speech zones.” Some people were “preventively arrested” because they were suspected of planning to protest. If it weren’t clear previously as to why people were going to protest, it should be now.

The response to the demonstrations by the police, the media and the politicians further proved the validity of the protesters’ claims. The system is violent, power is in the hands of the few rather than the many, civil liberties are being eroded and the two major political parties wish to maintain the status quo.

To those who question this claim, just look at the two major candidates. Both Bush and Gore support the death penalty, despite a large and growing proportion of the population that either opposes it or seeks a moratorium. Both candidates sup-

legal system.

While protesting citizens were derided in the press as “criminals” for such heinous crimes as blocking traffic, a far different class of criminals was welcomed with open arms by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Arms dealers, environmental polluters, monopo-

port the current efforts of the WTO, World Bank and IMF to structure world trade according to the interests of the rich. Neither man has addressed such problems as police brutality and political prisoners in the United States. Both candidates support a public subsidy of high

technology under the guise of an unrealistic and dangerous missile defense program. Both candidates have amassed personal fortunes from the oil business.

It comes as no surprise then that the protests in each city were met with a massive police presence and sometimes brutal attack. As Tom Hayden, a leader of the anti-war movement, said during Vietnam, “When protest becomes effective, governments become repressive.”

The protesters, who included Duke students, are calling for an alternative to the two-party system. They are calling for a political system that allows the participation of many opposing points of view rather than one that narrows discussion and debate to a meaningless argument over which of two evils is better.

People are starting to listen, and the powerful have grown afraid.

In the past year we have seen protests in Seattle, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Los Angeles. We have seen images on television of police riding horses and motorcycles

over seated, non-violent protesters, spraying them with pepper spray and shooting them with rubber bullets. A movement is building in America, and the powerful are on the defensive. The time is coming when our rulers can no longer mask

their brutality and oppression.

When that time comes they will have already lost. For their power rests in our consent, and that consent is eroding fast.

Ben Weller is a Trinity junior.

With democracy comes responsibility The pen and the sword Abdullah AhArian In international news, it looks as though the Burundian civil war may be coming to an end. Former South African President Nelson Mandela was in the Tanzanian city of Arusha this week attempting to iron out some of the major differences between the warring factions. While the chances of a lasting settlement are still rather tentative, a likely cease-fire would end seven years of bitter conflict in the region. Should a final agreement be reached, President Bill Clinton is expected to attend the signing.

In Colombia, violence has escalated with a series of massacres over the weekend resulting in the deaths of 22 people.-This is simply the latest in over 30 years of fighting between right-wing and Marxist guerrilla forces. The killings came just days after American leaders pledged $1.3 billion in aid to Colombia to help in their war on drugs. Clinton is expected to visit Colombia in the coming days, despite considerable protest from the FARC, Colombia’s largest guerrilla group. FARC claims that Clinton’s visitation violates the nation’s sovereignty with undue interference into its domestic affairs.

In the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak threatened—amidst failed negotiations at Camp David—late last week to form a coalition with the right-wing Likud party. Hoping to regain support after barely surviving a non-confidence vote, Barak expressed misgivings about the future of the peace process, with the non-negotiable status of Jerusalem as the current stumbling block. As we approach the seven year anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accords at the White House lawn, one wonders whether a just and lasting peace is viable between Palestinians and Israelis.

Before I move on, the question arises: Does anyone

really even care? We, here in the United States, often isolate ourselves from world events around us, thinking that what goes on across the globe simply does not affect us. In contrast to other countries, where such news is of utmost significance, international events are cast aside as immaterial and irrelevant to our daily lives. But the dangerous combination of ignorance and apathy that plagues the American public does not leave it solely to blame for this phenomenon.

Government officials seldom bring international

issues to the forefront. In both the Republican and Democratic national conventions, references to foreign policy initiatives were few and far between. This does not mean that politicians do not care about such issues, for as we know, American foreign policies dominate world affairs. The concern, however, is that with the lack of a public forum to debate such issues, these policies are potentially unrepresentative of that for which an informed American electorate might call. The mass media, therefore, is also at fault. International coverage in most news outlets is minimal, with a brief summary at best. Rather than hearing stories of heroic pets and bargain laundry detergents, maybe an in-depth look at the Chechen war would be in order, considering the implications this situation has on American policies.

Most people feel that if something doesn’t affect them directly, it is not worth concerning themselves with it. That is understandable, but the truth is—whether we like it or not—our actions, or—more accurately—our inactions, have critical consequences on billions of lives. Living in a democracy (and the most powerful one at that) should not only be a privilege, but also a responsibility. It is our votes, letters, and protests that can determine what stance our nation will take on foreign policy issues. For Duke students—many of whom will grow to be the future leaders of America—the obligation is even greater to stay abreast of world affairs.

And this means more than just the blurbs on page two ofThe Chronicle or the sample stories with which I began this column.

The History Department welcomes newly appointed Assistant Professor FELICIA KORNBLUH, who will teach Women's History at Duke. Felicia Kornbluh is a twentieth-century historian whose interests include welfare, law, feminism, and the history of sexuality. She also focuses on public policy from a gendered perspective. Before coming to Duke, Dr. Kornbluh served on the staff of the U.S! House of Representatives Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, and on the staff of several research, law, and policy centers. She is also a free-lance writer and policy analyst. Professor Kornbluh will teach two fall courses.

HISTORY 103.05

Women and Gender in the United States Since 1890-Present This survey course will center upon relationships among men, women, and the state since 1890. How have women and men shaped the legal process and state policies? The course will look at the history of feminism, the movement for lesbian and gay rights, and the myth of the 1950s family. The class will also examine the effects of Jim Crow segregation on Southern women and men, the sexual revolution of the 19605, and the effects of WWI, WWM, and Vietnam on U.S. gender relations.

HISTORY 1955.13' Women and Welfare in the U.S.

&

Other Societies

This course focuses on domestic welfare policies and their impact in the U.S. and Europe in the 20th century. The course begins in the late Igth century and ends with the US Personal Responsibility welfare legislation of 1996.

The course will study not only the cash transfer programs that we commonly call "welfare." It will also examine comparative health care policies, child care, European family allowances, labor regulation, and policies concerning domestic violence. Course themes include the political incorporation of women and men in modern states, law as an arena of public policy, and the role of social policy in discouraging or enabling women's participation in the waged labor force. The class will also examine the role of ordinary citizens in the making of public policies.

Old House CC members struggle with diaspora effect OLD HOUSE CC from page 1 guys.... These are the guys we want to hang out with. If we’re doing our thing and other people show up, it’s really easy [for it to be perceived as] willful actions against the administration.”

Several students reported that former Old House CC members hosted a &

that as a group they’re not to have so-

said would-be vice president Jeff Heyman. “That’s what we didn’t quite understand. It’s hard to reunite a group of guys scattered around campus.”

In fact, former members are scattered off-campus and across Main West Campus, Edens Quad and Central Campus. Most juniors and Seniors of the 55-member group ended up on Main West Campus but many sophomores live in Edens.

“Considering the situation, it’s the best we could have done,” said sophomore Matt Beck. “I’m pleased, not as [much as] if we were living in section, but it’ll make do.”

Should the group be reinstated, administrators have not decided whether they will receive the same housing but have assured the group that reinstatement does include obtaining housing.

Also in contention is this year’s Old House CC pledge class. Last year, administrators decided that the group could not hold rush for the upcoming year but have agreed to reconsider the “decision.

“I will certainly support that they receive a hearing on this issue based upon their performing other aspects of the conditions they must meet in order to be reinstated,” said Jim Clack, vice president for student affairs.

Clack, Baker and former Campus Council president Nikki Fetter will decide the issue but all declined to comment further.

Those three also made up the ap-

peals committee which in a May 22 letter denied Old House CC’s appeal of its dissolution. The group was disbanded in an April 28 decision by the ARC, after house leadership failed to meet several deadlines.

North Carolina, Jason Parker 'eked the Wildcats

From wire reports

LEXINGTON, Ky. Power forward Jason Parker, a one-time North Carolina recruit until he was denied admission, enrolled at Kentucky and will be eligible to play for the Wildcats this season.

Parker, a former Mr. Basketball in North Carolina, is expected to become an immediate contributor to Kentucky’s front line.

“We’re very excited that Jason’s going to live out his dreams of playing college basketball,” Kentucky coach Tubby Smith said yesterday from training camp in Hawaii, where he’s with the U.S. Olympic team as an assistant.

“I’m glad he’s getting the opportunity to do that at Kentucky. He will add a real presence and some much-needed depth on the front line.”

Parker, a 6-foot-8, 255pounder, averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game last season at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy. He graduated from West Charlotte High School in 1999 after leading the team to the Class 4A state championship

Parker re-entered the recruiting process after North Carolina denied him admission earlier this month. He chose Kentucky over Cincinnati, Michigan, Wake Forest

and North Carolina-Charlotte.

Soccer attempts to learn from exhibition loss

By BRODY GREENWALD The. Chronicle

The same spunk, the same swagger and, yes, the same relentless running drills were all present yesterday afternoon when the men’s soccer team held its first practice since returning home from a weekend trip to Fort Wayne, Ind. A few of the 1,200-plus fans in attendance at the 2000 Soccer Showcase and all 26 Blue Devils were left disappointed Saturday when Duke’s loss to Rutgers in an exhibition game prevented a clash with No. 1 Indiana in Sunday’s finale. Instead of the Hoosiers, the Blue Devils crushed Indiana-Purdue at Fort Wayne 8-0 Sunday in what was more an exhibition of Duke’s talent than an “exhibition game Not exactly a marquis match-up, although freshman Danny Wymer probably wasn’t complaining about his opportunity to score the first four goals of his career.

Perhaps some of the fans were even murmuring something about how coach John Rennie should have pushed harder for a chance to size up the Hoosiers first-hand by sending out his A-team rather than playing nine substitutes Saturday. But they would have entirely been missing the point behind last weekend.

“Wo certainly played to win against Rutgers, but that’s not the main reason you play exhibition games,” Rennie said. “We did”

Yet, while even Duke’s stars only played about 60 minutes Saturday, Rutgers’ entire first team was on the field for the

entire 90-minute game.

Maybe that’s why back on campus yesterday, the talk and certainly the walk of the Duke players made it look as if the loss never happened.

Pedro starts bench-clearing incident Rutgers capitalized The Red Sox ace h it the first batter of the game before retiring 24 straight on mental mistakes

By FRED GOODALL Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Pedro Martinez came within three outs of his first career no-hitter, leading the Boston Red Sox to a brawl-filled 8-0 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on last night.

After hitting leadoff man Gerald Williams in the first inning with his fourth pitch of the night, Martinez (15-4) retired 24 in a row before John Flaherty singled to the right-center on a 2-2 pitch leading off the ninth.

Martinez then retired his next three batters, finishing with the third one-hitter of his career.

He struck out 13, including Greg Vaughn and Fred McGriff three times each, and walked none.

Eight Devil Rays—five players, manager Larry' Rothschild and two coaches—were ejected in the first seven innings during five altercations, primarily caused by four hit batters.

Martinez, the AL Cy Young Award winner, lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.68, throwing 110

pitches, including 71 strikes.

On June 3, 1995, when he was with Montreal, Martinez became only the second pitcher in the history of the major leagues to take a perfect game into extra innings, before allowing a leadoff double to San Diego’s Bip Roberts leading off the 10th.

The only other pitcher to accomplish the feat was Harvey Haddix of Pittsburgh in 1959. He pitched 12 perfect innings in that game before losing in the 13th.

Under amended no-hitter rules adopted by an eightman committee on statistical accuracy in 1991, Martinez received credit for neither a perfect game nor a no-hitter.

Williams and Rothschild were ejected in the first.

Williams, hit near the left hand, took a several steps toward first base, alternating his stare between his hand and Martinez. He then charged the mound and throwing a right. Williams was then tackled from

behind by catcher Jason Varitek.

Williams was restrained by several different people, including Vaughn and Red Sox coach Jim Rice.

There was considerable pushing and shoving after both benches and ballpens emptied. Daubach, who emerged from the pile holding his left arm, ’was pushed from behind by Devil Rays closer Roberto Hernandez.

Rothschild was ejected by second base umpire Tim McClelland for arguing that Martinez should have been thrown out. The

game was delayed 12 minutes.

Dave Eiland (2-2), Tampa Bay’s starting pitcher, and coach Bill Russell, who became acting manager following Rothschild’s ejection, were tossed in the third after Eiland hit

Daubach and Nomar Garciaparra with pitches.

Daubach hit the dirt avoiding a high and inside pitch, then was hit on the next pitch.

After Everett doubled, Garciaparra was hit in the back and Eiland was ejected.

Cory Lidle was ejected in the seventh after throwing a pitch behind Daubach and coach Jose Cardenal was tossed because he was acting manager. Tony Fiore relieved, threw an inside pitch to Daubach, then hit

him with his second pitch.

Both benches emptied, but there were no punches thrown. Williams came out of Tampa Bay’s clubhouse and ran back on the field, in front of the Devil Rays’ dugout.

Vaughn was ejected by plate umpire Phil Cuzzi in the bottom ofthe seventh inning for

arguing balls and strikes after Martinez, who was working on a no-hit bid, threw a called third strike by him.

MEN’S SOCCER from page 21 If the loss was truly forgotten, though, then the trip might have been a waste. In order to make sure that didn’t happen, the Blue Devils, beginning with yesterday’s practice, did the one thing they never had the opportunity to do during last season’s undefeated run—learn from a loss.

“I said [last week] that I wouldn’t mind losing as long as we learned from it, and I think that we have,” coach John Rennie said. “A lot of teams this season will play us exactly like Rutgers did. They didn’t do a lot of attacking; they sat back and used a defend-and-counter type of game plan. I think that’s what we can expect in most of our games

&

this season.”

And with lesson No. 1 came lesson No. 2: the way to stop counter-attacks is to avoid bad passes and mental mistakes.

Duke’s defense, which Rennie said will be the key to the team’s success early in the season, played well enough to shut out IPFW for all 90 minutes during an 8-0 rout Sunday. It also held Rutgers scoreless for much of the game Saturday.

But the Scarlet Knights managed to find a chink in Duke’s armor when freshman striker Sherif El Bialy scored on Rutgers’ first successful counter. The Blue Devils said that goal and the game-winner in the 72nd minute of play both could have been prevented if the team was more careful.

‘They weren’t great goals, they were counters,” senior midfielder Robert Russell, one of Duke’s tricaptains, said. “Those occur when a team is sort of relaxing and has mental lapses.

“We were dominating them in the first half, but we relaxed and just sat back against a real workhorse team.”

On to lesson No. 3.

The dominant offense that took the field Sunday against IPFW was far less effective in finding the net Saturday against the Scarlet Knights, but

Duke’s main offensive weapons say it wasn’t for lack of opportunities.

“We created a lot of chances for ourselves, but if anything, we didn’t shoot enough,” senior forward Ali Curtis said. “That’s something that will come when the season starts.”

Lesson learned. The Blue Devils came out firing against IPFW and reeled off 22 shots in the game, while still connecting on more than one-third ofthem.

With much learned from a harmless loss, Duke’s weekend trip to Fort Wayne may have been a gain.

Self-righteous fans respond to Bauer’s departure silently Duke students were hush-hush when Beth Bauer turned pro, which is how they should have reacted to the 1999 exodus Upon further review Ray Holloman The Duke experience. The opportunity.

Pick your argument. Some days you couldn’t see the Chapel for the cloud of self-righteousness that hung over this University.

Of course, those arguments came with a label that said “Suitable for two to six year olds” because even seven year olds knew that was code language for, “Uh oh, hoops team’s in trouble.”

A year and change later it was simply, “Hi Beth. Thanks Beth. Seeya Beth.”

Code language, “Hi Beth. Thanks Beth. Seeya Beth.”

Leaving, in absolute silence.

But you know what? That’s the way it should be.

Now, a women’s golfer leaving isn’t the same as a men’s basketball player and unless there’s a sudden relocation of the University to planet weirdo, it never will be. And more importantly, we all know

fault of the batter who steps in front of Pedro Martinez, but the world isn’t always a fair place.

Take Carolina’s women’s soccer team.

They’ve won eight times as many championships as Duke men’s hoops, but when was the last time you got in a barroom argument about who the better player was, Cindy Parlow or Sherrill Kester? Or when was the last time you debated who was the better coach, Kitty Harrison or

Jamie Ashworth?

It’s not that we don’t care about women’s golf, it’s that we care about it like we care about, say, double coupon day at Kroger. Sure, it’s nice when you can go top-dollar and pick up Oreos, but sometimes life throws you Duplex dou-

blestuffs. It’s the same way with women’s golf. When they won the national championship two years ago, it was a nice line to drop, but if they don’t, we sweep it under the blue and white rug.

Of course, the appropriate question isn’t, “Why don’t we complain when nonrev athletes leaves?” It’s, ‘Why do we when revenue athletes leave?”

I don’t want to downplay how special it is to be at Duke but isn’t it a little too simthat it doesn’t have much to do with the ple to make a 19-year-old a villain Duke experience. It has to do with Duke because you can’t win a grudge match graduates getting together around the with Dave from three cubicles down.

And non-revenue sports just ain’t. money. Just a thought.

But it’s not entirely about the money, Sure it’s as much their fault as it is the

■

If you thought absolute silence went out of vogue with Magic Johnson’s monologues, you owe a big Magic Hour thank you to Duke’s own Beth Bauer.

Formerly Duke’s own, anyway.

In case you missed it, Beth Bauer, the top collegiate golfer, decided to forgo her final two years at Duke last week to make the jump to the LPGA. Sound familiar to the tale of an NBA rookie of the year, the honorary NBA rookie of the year in the 2.2 point scoring, 1.1 dime dishing backup backup division, and the most recent exile to the NBA minors in L.A.?

It should, save one major twist—nobody cared.

Take an A1 Gore press conference, multiply it by a 9:10 P-Chem lecture, and you’ve got the absolute silence and general disinterest that met Bauer’s decision.

Which shouldn’t be surprising, I suppose, other than the fact that the last time an athlete left Duke early it made just a few more headlines. When Elton Brand, Will Aveiy and Corey Maggette bolted for the somewhat, uh, greener pastures of the NBA, it set everybody’s biscuits burning like a Wyoming wildfire.

I can’t say that I’ve ever been much the biscuit-burning type, so I wasn’t too upset when three’s company departed for ‘The League.” Hell, I figured it was two more grad apartments up for grabs on central.

Needless to say, I was in the minority.

In case you weren’t here, the chain reaction of three Duke players leaving the same year set off an unprecedented meteorological event that saw the most hot air blow through campus since Hurricane Fran.

Courgs fa//

it’s about doing what you’ve wanted to do your whole life. It’s about finally making it, and when you’re as close as a Beth Bauer is or as an Elton Brand was, there’s no way to ignore it. Whervyou know you’re just a step away from being the best, you never forget it.

You can’t forget it.

And anything short of making it is failing.

Yeah, they give up your dream of playing for Duke, but unless you’re on the basketball teams or football team, winning the national championship probably wasn’t your backyard ritual. Tennis players don’t dream of playing Jill Craybas.

Golfers don’t dream of squaring off with Grace Park, and I doubt if there are too many basketball players who imagine Michael Jordan in Tar Heel blue.

Even winning the NCAA championship as a non-rev athlete can make you little more than a footnote to the world.

And when you can be the best, it’s damn hard to live a happy life as a footnote.

So let’s just stop pretending that it’s only about the Duke experience, and let’s stop pretending that it’s about betraying a program and accept it for what it is—taking your chance and making it.

It doesn’t make it any easier to accept as a fan, but life isn’t always about easy.

In fact, it rarely is. Next time an athlete leaves early, go ahead and bitch, just try not to do it any longer than, say, the life of The Magic Hour.
