Court hears vote case Mon.

By LINDA GREENHOUSE N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON Lawyers for Gov. George W. Bush told the U.S. Supreme Court Sunday that the vote recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court Friday was illegal and unconstitutional, while lawyers for Vice President A1 Gore maintained that the only real right at issue in the case was “the right of voters to have their ballots counted.”

With only hours to go before the second Supreme Court argument of the postelection legal battle, the two teams of lawyers threw their best arguments into 50-page briefs, filed simultaneously to meet the 4 p.m. deadline the court set Saturday when it accepted Bush’s appeal.

The justices’ 5-4 order Saturday, putting the court’s bitter division on full display, halted the statewide recount that had just begun.

As the competing briefs arrived Sunday at the Supreme Court, lawyers and political advocates of the two sides almost universally agreed that its decision could well be the final stroke of the long See ELECTION on page 8 P

Curtis crowned soccer’s king

Senior Ali Curtis may be Duke’s best player ever

By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Ali Curtis came to Duke with a powerful leg and incredible quickness that made him one of the most talented and targeted players in college soccer.

Four soccer seasons later, his college career now at an end, Curtis has demonstrated a new skill, one which truly sets the tw.o-time player of the year apart from his peers.

It is the art of deference.

Curtis evoked it last month when he broke Tom Kain’s school record for most career goals, referring to his achievement not as an individual accomplishment but as “a great team effort.” Set in Duke’s record books, the humble senior did the same last Thursday, when he credited his teammates with helping him earn the Missouri Athletic Club national player of the year award. Curtis claimed the honor, which he nearly won a year ago, with five more points than Connecticut’s Chris Gbandi.

“I want to emphasize that getting this award is more a reflection of our LAST YEAR, SENIOR ALI CURTIS received the Hermann Trophy, the other player of the year See CURTIS on page 7, sportswrap i award. He is planning for a professional soccer career after he graduates.

Scott Harmon got an early and unexpected gift from his church and the University this Christmas —the chance to hold a commitment ceremony

in

Duke Chapel. It’s something he’s been hoping to do for a long time “It means that I can have a ceremony to give thanks to God for the love that my mate and I share, and I can have that ceremony in the place where I worship,” said Harmon, a 38year-old Durham resident who sings in the Chapel choir. “It’s OK for me to be there, to sing in the choir, to volunteer and to help, and now it’s OK for me to honor before God and my community the love that I share with my mate.”

Harmon and his partner, David Helwig, will by all expectations be the first gay couple to marry in the Chapel now that it has been opened to such ceremonies.

The couple—who met three years ago at a meeting of the Triangle Area Business and Professional Guild, a gay and lesbian business networking organization—were determined to have their ceremony in Duke Chapel.

Former Honor Council chair Matthew Baugh—already an Angier B. Duke scholar and a Truman Scholar—nabbed another prized scholarship Sunday, when he was named the 30th Rhodes Scholar in University history.

Baugh, a senior and a Raleigh native, is a Program II major focusing on international development and health.

At Oxford University—where all Rhodes Scholars study—he hopes to earn a degree in international relations and policy, with an emphasis on humanitarian intervention in places like Haiti and Iraq.

As an A.B. Duke scholar, Baugh traveled to Oxford in summer 1999. During that Matthew Baugh time, Baugh said, he first began to consider applying for a Rhodes Scholarship.

“When I went to Oxford, the experience really whetted my appetite and made me hungry for more,” he said The Rhodes Scholarship, which provides students a two-year stint at Oxford, is one of the world’s most prestigious academic awards. Thirty-two scholars are selected annually from nearly 1,000 applicants.

Israeli Prime minister resigns

Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he intends to run

By DEBORAH SONTAG N.Y. Times News Service

Having disapJERUSALEM peared from the Israeli politics for 19 months, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned Sunday in full, media-sawy style.

He flew in from abroad, swept onto the evening news and proclaimed his intention to recapture the Likud Party leadership and the office of prime minister.

Netanyahu said Prime Minister

Ehud Barak should not be allowed to frustrate “the will of the nation” by blocking his ability to run for office. Netanyahu said he would work to brush aside the political and legal obstacles to his pursuit of re-

election, which were placed in his path by Barak’s resignation from office Sunday.

“The man who bypassed the will of the nation while in power is now bypassing its will in order to stay in power,” Netanyahu said. “He is not resigning in order to restore calm or stop the Palestinian violence or to return security to our people.

Something else is happening here: the most cynical political trick in the history of Israel. He is resigning in order to prevent the people from freely and democratically electing a new prime minister and Parliament.”

Still, for Netanyahu, who commands a significant lead in the

Exit polls indicated Iliescu had won 70 percent of the vote in his runoff against Comeliu Vadim Tudor,

who had run on a promise to “liquidate the mafia” that had drained the economy but was infamous for his screeds against Jews, Hungarians and Gypsies. The final vote will not be known for a day or two, but recent exit polls have been accurate in Romania.

Political commentators on television refused even to discuss his charges.

Employee murder accomplice jailed � Nineteen-year-old Durham resident Corey Daman, one of the two teenagers involved in the murder of former Duke employee Karen Paschall last year, was sentenced Friday.

From staff reports Corey Eugene Daman*, the second of two teenagers charged with crimes relating to the death of former Duke employee Karen Paschall, received a prison sentence of 94 to 122 months Friday.

The 19-year-old was sentenced after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. His accomplice, 19-year-old Charles Edward McDonald 111 of 5819 Lilley Drive, was sentenced in September to a prison term of 21 to 42 years.

Damarr received a lighter sentence because he did

not actually shoot Paschall; he drove McDonald to Paschall’s house. McDonald fired the fatal shots that killed Paschall as she talked on the phone March 22.

According to the Herald-Sun of Durham, District Attorney Jim Hardin said the lighter sentence seemed appropriate. Hardin added that Damarr helped the police investigation and played an instrumental role in convicting McDonald.

At Friday’s proceeding, members of Paschall’s family were allowed to speak before the court. Jennifer Paschall Abubakari, Karen Paschall’s daughter, expressed anger, confusion and disappointment in

Damarr’s actions.

Later, Damarr apologized to the family for his actions and said he was only doing what his friend had

told him to do.

Paschall, 45, had worked at Duke for 24 years. She began working at the University’s employment office in 1976 and then worked at the Medical Center for 12 years. She joined the Duke News Service in 1990.Last October, she moved to Human Resources.

She was survived by a daughter, two sons and her husband, Emanuel Paschall, who has worked for the Durham Police Department for the past 22 years.

Houses prepare for annual review

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

As the Annual Review Committee prepares to meet for the first time this academic year in January, selective living group leaders say changes to this year’s process have resolved some long-held complaints about administrative expectations for individual houses. Still, leaders say they wish the ARC, which has the ultimate power to decide a group’s housing status, would provide concrete standards by which to measure their standings.

This marks the first time in several years that groups have submitted reports in both the spring—for review by Ben Ward, associate dean for student development—and the fall—for full review. Ward, chair of the ARC, said he hopes administrative feedback on the spring reports will help groups identify exactly what is expected of them before they are formally evaluated.

“It was our best attempt to be sure [presidents] had the most recent information,” Ward said. “We tried to do it early enough in the semester so that if there were problem areas, they’d have time to address those.”

Feedback about the change has generally been positive, but selective house presidents say the ARC’S standards, which have not been modified, can still be applied somewhat arbitrarily.

“The process in and of itself isn’t always clear what’s expected of us in general,”said junior John Wiemann, president of Theta Chi fraternity. “They are doing a better job recently at telling us what they expect from us.”

Even the leaders of groups who have received good ratings from the ARC say they are not sure what is expected ofthem. Junior Patricia Chen, president of Prism—which received a “good” rating last

Woman robbed as she confronts thief in grassy lot From staff reports A visitor was robbed as she confronted a man breaking into her vehicle Friday afternoon, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department.

The victim said she had parked her car in the grassy 1 (JLICL lot on Duke University Road and Chapel Drive and walked KmUKij to another car to chat with a friend. At 1:10 p.m., she noticed someone breaking the $l5O passenger-side window of her vehicle, reaching in the vehicle and taking her $lOO

When she noticed the man—described as white, 40 to 45 years old, 6’2”, 175 pounds, with black hair and a full black mustache and wearing blue jeans, a brown suede jacket and a cowboy hat—she asked him what he was doing.

The assailant then took her $4O black shoulder purse containing $lO in cash, credit cards and other miscellaneous items as she approached him.

After snatching her purse, he got into a white Pontiac Grand Am with N.C. license KSZ-3937 and drove away, heading east on Duke University Road.

There was a passenger in the car, but no description was given.

Merchandise taken: Between 5 p.m. Dec. 4 and 7:30 a.m. Dec. 5, officials from Retail Concepts

reported that someone stole six adult-size leather coats, four child-size leather coats, a 1.7-ounce bottle of Fahrenheit cologne, two bottles of 273 perfume, assorted leather lipstick holders, wallets, fur hats, gloves and assorted Aigner merchandise totaling $674 from the lower level of the Searle Center, Dean said.

The store official said the merchandise was to be sold the next day. There were no signs of forced entry.

Camera taken:

Between 1:45 and 4:45 p.m.

Dec. 8, someone stole an employee’s $5OO Kodak digital camera from his office at the Duke Pain Clinic located at 932 Morreene Road, Dean said.

There were no signs of forced entry.

Mirror vandalized: Someone caused $2OO worth of damage to the rearview mirrors of a student’s vehicle between 12:30 and 4:30 a.m. Dec. 4.

The vehicle was parked in the Beta parking lot, Dean said.

Mice snatched: Several Office of Information Technology-owned computer mice were taken from many campus locations over the weekend, Dean said.

Clack reassigns extra funds to event security subsidy

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Following a failed attempt to orchestrate a campuswide party, interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack and the Office of University Life have reallocated $14,000 to subsidize security at events organized by various student groups.

Each group will be eligible for the subsidy, which would cover the standard $lB-per-hour charge for each officer, when the Event Advising Center deems security necessary.

“I consistently hear that a number of individual organizations have difficulty having social events because of the high costs that go with them,” Clack said.

“The one consistent thing I always hear... is that they must pay for security.”

The decision resulted, in large part, from discussions from last year’s Event Policy Review Committee

Chronicle Staffers:

and this year’s Undergraduate Social Space Committee, which will issue a report later this month on programming space for social events.

Senior Jasmin French, a member of the Alcohol Task Force, said she thought the subsidy was a good idea, especially considering that there was no broad support for the initial party idea. “This is a creative way [to use that money!said French, who is also Duke Student Government vice president for student affairs. “More students will be impacted by this new alternative than a party aimed at bringing [together] the rest of the campus.”

The funds were initially allocated to social events by the task force. Administrators had hoped to facilitate an event in the Bryan Center that would have the feel of a carnival. The idea was bolstered by a particularly successful Devil’s Eve this year and a visit by Assistant Dean of University Life Melinda Roper to Pennsylvania State University, where a similar event

takes place weekly. “We wanted to see if we could light the place up,” Clack said. “I was hoping it would be a carnival-type atmosphere where there would be something for everyone. My thoughts were not shared.”

After a Nov. 20 meeting encouraging students to take initiative in the effort brought little student support, administrators gave up.

“From what students told me, the perception was that this was an ‘administrator-planned event,”’ Roper wrote in an e-mail. “In truth, the administrators hoped to serve in an advisory role, not a planning role. It seems we were not able to adequately communicate this fact.”

Senior Jennifer Downing, president of the National Panhellenic Council, said she welcomed the subsidy.

“I’m very excited about it,” Downing said. “It’s going to be very helpful to a lot of students that don’t have commons rooms.”

The end of the election?

Just

when you may have thought it was over, the United States Supreme Court decided to have election 2000 go another round.

Last Friday, Vice President A1 Gore received a boost, as the Florida Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s decision and granted Gore’s appeal, ordering immediate manual count of every undervote—ballots that registered no vote for president—in the state of Florida. This was a fair decision that would have answered the 34-day-old question of“Who will be the 43rd president?”

However, the U. S. Supreme Court disagreed. On Saturday, the court voted 5-4 for an immediate halt to the hand recounts. The court argued that if the recount favored Gore, but was later thrown out on legal grounds, the Bush presidency would be seriously undermined.

This argument is not sufficient cause to enjoin the counting of the ballots. Under Florida’s broad “sunshine” laws, any Florida citizen has the right to request a viewing ofthe ballots of the previous election. One newspaper, The Miami Herald, has already announced it will conduct its own manual count of the ballots once the election is decided. If, say, Bush is declared the winner and then independent groups determined that Gore won the Florida vote, will this action not undermine the legitimacy of a Bush presidency just as much?

More likely, the court stopped the recounts to avoid dealing with the reality that it will be deciding who the next president is. The court does not want to be seen as determining the winner of the election, but that, sadly, is what their role has become. Now that the courts have fallen into this partisan fray, their best way out is to suggest some kind of standard for counting votes and to order the recount to go forward.

While there is not time to do the most fair thing and count every vote in Florida by hand, there is time before the constitutional deadline of Dec. 18 to count every undervote.

No matter what the court rules after Monday’s hearing, the vice president, the governor, the Florida legislature and all other third parties should abide by it.

The losing candidate will then face the difficult duty of conceding. In his concession speech, that candidate needs to plead for national unity, support of the new president and serious reforms to voting laws in every state The winning candidate, on the other hand, needs to approach his job with a great degree of bipartisanship and humility. The Senate will be divided 50-50 or 51-49, and the House favors the Republicans by the slimmest of margins. It would be foolish for either candidate to claim a mandate or attempt to ramrod his proposals and appointments through the Congress.

From day one, the new president will have a great burden on his shoulders. But it is important that he realizes that this burden will become America’s unless he works in a cooperative and moderate fashion. The invective must go; the nation must heal.

On

the record This came from the students who thought this was the right thing to do, and not the political mainstream.

Same-sex union decision showed strong leadership

As an alumnus of Duke and as a member of Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C., I am pleased by the decision to permit unions of commitment between individuals of the same-sex in Duke Chapel.

I deeply appreciate the

leadership that is shown by this kind of decision.

Regrettably, people who profess the unconditional love demonstrated by Jesus for all of God’s children must rely on such leadership to find sanctuary. Yet those with a more exclusive

theology have so many places to stand. you, Thank Duke University, for giving this Methodist a sanctuary at a place I can truly call home Don Morgan MHA ’75

New Chapel policy offers equality to all religions I applaud the University’s decision to allow same-sex unions at the Chapel.

From my point of view, the debate over the issue was only explicable by the intensity of the emotions surrounding the issue, not the complexity ofthe issue itself.

A secular university that provides access to its chapel to a broad range ofChristian

(and some non-Christian) faiths cannot draws lines about what is and is not holy and acceptable without relinquishing its claim to non-

sponsorship of particular religious beliefs.

This debate was not about, and should not be about, whether the Bible condones same-sex unions: that issue is splitting congregations throughout the country, but it is distinctly not the province or duty of a nonsectarian university that provides broad access to its chapel to resolve it. Those who enjoyed de facto condonation of their particular beliefs are learning what nonsectarian means for the first time, something perhaps they would have embraced long ago had their beliefs not been majoritarian

(a somewhat baffling and forgetful development, in light

of the fact that America’s Protestant tradition was intimately familiar with flight from institutional sponsorship of hostile beliefs).

Neither Durham nor the lands beyond lack congregations of unified believers willing to fervently express their deeply held beliefs. I recommend them to those who find the Chapel now too sullied for appropriate communion with God. Matthew Stowe Law ’Ol

No. 1 Blue Devils manhandle Michigan

By BARRETT PETERSON The Chronicle

JENNIFER ROBINSON/THE CHRONICLE

SHANE BATTIER drives against Michigan's LaVell Blanchard Saturday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

students prepared for finals this week104 As fellow Duke Puke end, the men’s basketball team had a test of its own to Michigan 61 take care of on the basketball court.

With a 104-61 drubbing of the Michigan Wolverines (2-5), one might say that Duke more than aced its first exam of finals week. The Blue Devils killed it.

“I think it’s obvious that we played an outstanding basketball game,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Gur kids were sensational. It’s tough to single out any one person because I thought that everyone played well.”

Not that manyyears ago, the traditional Duke-Michigan game was a tough late-December matchup for both teams. As of late, however, the annual showdown has been more lopsided than interesting (or than anything else).

The Wolverines came into the game sporting an unimpressive 2-4 record with double-digit losses at home to Maryland and St. John’s.

The Blue Devils were licking their chops even before tip-off.

“From the beginning of the game, we saw their guys jumping around and celebrating like they were the No. 1 team,” senior cocaptain Nate James said. “We got in the locker room and we said ‘Hey, we are going to go out there and play our asses off and shut these guys down.’”

Needless to say, the Wolverines’ unmerited swagger did not sit too well with the Blue Devils.

“They kind of disrespected us early by stomping on our floor and things like that,” freshman guard Chris Duhon said.

Michigan’s pregame tactics backfired in a big way as the Cameron crowd and the Duke defense jumped all over the Wolverines from the get-go.

Duke raced to an 11-2 lead, feeding off its defense and the boisterous crowd. The Blue Devils put even more space between themselves and the Wolverines on the strength of an amazing 25-0 run that left Michigan trailing 34-2 with 8:51 left in the half.

With Duke holding a 59-18 lead going into the locker room at halftime, the second half was a mere formality. Michigan did manage to keep Duke’s final margin of victory from ballooning to over 50 as it played with more composure in the second stanza en route to the final 104-61 count.

After the game, Michigan coach Brian Ellerbe struggled to find the words to adequately describe his team’s performance.

“We did not execute at all,” Ellerbe said. “The young guys were very, very shell-shocked. I’m not that articulate of a guy, I’m not sure what other word to use.

“They just didn’t function in the environment.”

Krzyzewski and the rest of the Blue Devils, on the other hand, basked in the glow of one of the more impressive wins of the year, especially coming off a lackluster performance against Davidson Tuesday night.

Duke opens game Volleyball coach wins regional honor with 34-2 charge

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

She has only been at Duke for two seasons, but Jolene Nagel is already making a name for herself with the Blue Devils.

On Thursday, Nagel was named the East District coach of the year by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Sophomore Jill Sonne and freshman Krista Dill were also named to the All-Region first team as well.

The honor is nothing new to Nagel, who won similar regional coach of the year honors in 1998 at Georgetown. In her 13-year career, Nagel is 238-163 overall, having brought programs at Cornell and Georgetown to high levels of NCAA competition. Nagel gave the credit for this honor to her team.

“The team made everything happen,” Nagel said.

“They are the ones who put in all the hard work and made the commitment to themselves and this program to be at a level to be able to get to this point, as far as improvement.

“I believe they’re going to continue to do that, which is really exciting. But I’m so excited we were able to have success this year and reward all their hard work.”

After taking Duke to a 13-14 mark last season, Nagel saw her team improve to 21-13 overall this season.

Despite some tough losses during the ACC regular season, the Blue Devils took off at the end, carrying their momentum into the postseason. After upsetting topseeded Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament, Duke fell to North Carolina in the final match.

Duke’s showing earned it an invitation to the NCAA tournament—the first invite since 1994—where the team lost to Arizona State 3-1 in the first round.

“I think the NCAA berth definitely helped highlight myself as well as Krista and Jill,” Nagel said.

Sonne was named to the All-ACC second team this season after ending the year with 364 kills. Dill was named to the All-Rookie team after being named ACC rookie ofthe week four times during the regular season.

The freshman led the team with 146 blocks and added 363 kills as well.

With 7:42 remaining in the first half, the Cameron crowd did something that it probably has not done too many times in Duke history—it cheered for the opposition.

Sleep-deprived insanity had not taken hold. No, the crowd applauded something that had only happened one other time—a Michigan basket.

Kevin Lloyd Game Commentary With 7:44 remaining, Michigan scored its third and fourth points of the game. In doing so, the Wolverines pulled to 34-4 after ending a 25-0 run that lasted 8:52.

For all intents and purposes, the game was already over. Sure there were almost 28 minutes left to play, but the opening explosion put the game out of contention. Unlike last weekend’s rout of Temple, in which remarkable shooting keyed the victory, this Duke blowout came from what Shane Battier called one of the best defensive efforts in his four years at Duke.

“Every night we want to come out and jump down people’s throats,” Mike Dunleavy said.

“We felt like we had a let-down against Davidson. We wanted to come out tonight and have the kind of performance [that we had against Temple]. I think we took it to another level tonight.”

Duke held the Wolverines to 19 points in the first half. The Blue Devils forced 20 turnovers and allowed only two assists.

JOLENE NAGEL directs her Blue Devils early in the season Nagel also said the postseason honors will benefit the Blue Devils’ volleyball program in terms of prestige and recruiting.

“The coach thing is really for the program,” Nagel said. “It’s not me, it’s our staff that we have here, our administration that we have here at Duke. It’s the team and all the long hours and commitment to allow us to have had the success we have had this season. It was really a culmination of a lot of people.”

Tigers trounce No. 3 Duke Yet, when the Blue Devils returned from the locker room, they faced a 13-2 Clemson

Outscored in both halves, disjointed by the Tigers’ defense.

There would be an eventual 57 points Duke watched as Clemson took the upper hand scored off free throws by the two teams after in a lopsided 52-38 second half.

“I think we lost our patience late in the first half,” Clemson coach Jim Davis said. “They started trapping a little bit, we kind of panicked, lost our patience, didn’t rely on ball reversal the way we should have.

Offense stumbles against Tigers When a frustrated and CLEMSON, S.C. teary-eyed team of players moved quickly toward their locker room following an 18-point loss at Littlejohn Coliseum Saturday, the 75 points in No. 3 Duke’s scoring column belied the ineffectiveness of the Blue Devils’ offense.

Playing against an upstart Clemson Tigers team (5-2,1-0 in the ACC), the Blue Devils (9-1, 0-1) never found their rhythm on offense, despite putting up a point total that surpassed that of three of their victories. Little credit was given to the unheralded Tigers entering Saturday’s ACC opener, but signs of a potentially stifling defense were evident in their first six games this season. During those contests, Clemson held all but two of its opponents to less than 60 points.

Brody Greenwald Game Commentary On Saturday, Clemson built off three straight victories, during which its opponents averaged a paltry 53 points, as it bewildered heavily favored Duke 93-75 by mixing in full-court pressure to accompany a bullying attack.

“Our kids, for a while now, we’ve hung our hats on the defensive end,” Clemson coach Jim Davis said. “I think our young ladies give a tremendous effort. They realize the importance of defending. We’ve got the athleticism to really create some problems for other people.”

ROCHELLE PARENT elevates above Clemson’s Marci Glenney for a shot Saturday.

The problems were immediate and crippling for the Blue Devils, who connected on only 36.5 percent of their field-goal attempts.

From the opening tip, it was clear the underdog Tigers intended on disrupting Duke’s offensive flow by making the game a physical slugfest.

On Duke’s second possession of the game, senior Georgia Schweitzer hit the deck hard and left the game holding her head after being hammered by a Tigers defender on a fast break.

Schweitzer would return and other Blue Devils would later hobble to the sideline, but Schweitzer made a minimal impact in her first chance to prove to the conference she can repeat as ACC player of the year.

“They did a great job. I give most of the credit to Clemson,” Schweitzer said. “They played

very physical with us. Things just didn’t come easy for us.”

Duke stayed close until the wheels began to spin off the offense midway through the first half. Trailing by four after a three-point play by Lakeia Stokes, Duke turned the ball over and then, on each of its next two possessions, forced up a bad shot when the shot clock dwindled down to a couple seconds.

When they again regained control of the ball, the Blue Devils dropped it out of bounds before Michele Matyasovsky finally ended the drought with a three-pointer to close the deficit to six points. Fittingly, Matyasovsky’s three on a disjointed possession came as a last-ditch effort with only three ticks left to shoot.

“I could see in warm-ups how focused they were and I knew we were going to be in for a battle,” said Duke coach Gail Goestenkors, who once watched as it took her team 15 seconds to advance the ball past halfcourt. “So that’s all I can say. I give them a great deal of credit.”

Clemson ate up the inside with 6-foot-4 center Erin Batth, who created havoc in the post with three blocked shots in addition to chipping in a double-double on offense. With Batth owning the middle, Clemson’s quicker players rotated along the perimeter and clogged the lane to prevent the Blue Devils from throwing it down low or driving inside. Duke, which normally lights it up from long range, had no answer as Matyasovsky’s three-pointer was the team’s only one of the first half.

“Again, I think it’s a lack of focus and toughness,” Goestenkors said. “We’ve gone against pressure before. Usually we’ve got great ballhandlers on the team and usually do a good job; we usually end up scoring off the press and make people pay for it. Today, we were a little more tentative.”

In a game where most of the time was spent at the free-throw line, the Blue Devils relied upon 23-for-26 shooting from the charity stripe to reach theif final total of 75 points. Although that total only fell three short of the team’s season average, things were clearly not right with Duke’s offense Saturday.

“Duke is a very, very good basketball team; they’re very deserving of their national ranking” Davis said. “They didn’t play their A-game today, but I’d like to think we had something to do with that.”

Duke barely yields double digits by half Coach commends fans for support � DEFENSIVE INTENSITY from page 3 “Our defense was at a different level in the first half than it has been at any point in the season,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “And we play pretty good defense.

But tonight, we played great defense in the first half.”

Jason Williams and Chris Duhon stymied Michigan’s undersized point guard Avery Queen throughout the first half. When the Wolverines passed the ball under pressure, Dunleavy and Nate James stepped into the passing lanes. The two combined for seven steals.

Those first-half steals set up fast breaks, and the Blue Devils converted. Duke scored a staggering 26 fast-break points in the first half alone.

Guard play created many of the scoring opportunities, but most of the credit for the minuscule 21.7 percent that Michigan shot from the floor in the opening frame should go to the big men.

The Wolverines, who did not use their normal starting lineup, came into Cameron hoping to use size to their advantage. Michigan started 7-foot-2 Josh Moore at center, while the Chris Young, the team’s everyday center, received the nod at power forward.

The Blue Devils were not intimidated by the lineup.

Duke’s frontcourt knocked the Wolverines off the ball and forced them into bad shots the whole half. They allowed only eight points in the paint in the first half and held Young, Moore and Bernard Robinson to seven points on 10 shots. Michigan’s trio also committed seven turnovers.

James said afterward that the perceived lack of respect served as a motivating factor.

“We had a team coming in tonight that said Duke is soft and from the suburbs, and we’re tough and from the city,” James said. “When the ball went up in the air, we took what they said personally. When the ball went up in the air, Duke was the only team smiling.”

Whatever created Duke’s attitude Saturday, Krzyzewski felt the entire team showed what is necessary for success.

“In the first half, I felt that it hurt us when they scored,” he said. “That’s how I want us to play, when it hurts us when they score.”

� MICHIGAN from page 2 “We kind of had a chip on our shoulder [tonight] because we didn’t come out and play like we wanted to against Davidson,” Duhon said. “We had something to prove tonight and

Michigan just happened to be the team Duke displayed great offensive balance throughout the entire game. Shane Battier scored a team-high 21 points and Jason Williams lit up Michigan’s inexperienced backcourt for 20 points of his own on 8-for-12 shooting from the field.

Four other Blue Devils—James, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Casey Sanders—also scored in double figures for Duke.

Krzyzewski was especially complimentary of Sanders, who came in and played with tremendous energy and enthusiasm in the first half, Pickir the'slack ft frnl-’ id”

“

JASON WILLIAMS draws contact in the lane Saturday.

Battier said the Blue Devils understand that they are a great team on offense, but that they have to be even better on defense to sustain the level they achieved Saturday.

It should be noted that the evening was not without its disappointments. The late-half Wolverine flurry kept the Blue Devils from achieving one of their goals.

“We wanted to keep them to single digits [in the first half] Battier said. “I don’tknow how many teams can boast ofthat, so we were trying to keep them in single digits going into halftime. That would have been pretty cool.”

For those of you who measure Monday, Monday success by number of offensive ethnic jokes plus inflamed letters to the editor, all we have to say is, “Eat a Queer Fetus for Jesus” (this is the best bumpersticker Sara has ever seen).

And there were some letters to the editor, but since they were written by an a) washed-up bagel restaurateur, b) silly little Panhel girl, and c) grad student fashion victim, they really weren’t worth space in a regular column. But now that we’re unmasked, we’ll attend to some unfinished business.

Dear self-proclaimed Bagel King, We’re surprised you didn’t respond to the date plea. Are you still waiting for Dining Services to approve mousemeat before our sandwich makes it onto the menu?

Dear Shannon Dooley, Has the Kate Spade home decor line come out yet? Let us know, and maybe Dania’s experience as a child prodigy fashion designer will help you out.

Dear Robert Parrish, Hey, didn’t you used to be a Celtics player? As for your taste-of-your-ownmedicine letter, it’s odd that your grad student überintellect didn’t pick up our sarcasm about undergrad conformity.

Perhaps you could attempt a positivistrevisionist reading of our text? thank you to our Lord and Savior... wait, we’re not wide receivers who just won the Superbowl. Bazinsky, as much as you play this off like you don’t like the hype, we saw the column on your fridge—with the part about you highlighted. And way to go Martin, for your poor titles and arbitrary paragraph splits. Norm definitely would have known what the CFL was, but that’s OK because we still think you’re sexy in your own newspaperman way. Please bear with us as we blubber through our individual Oscar acceptance speeches.

Dania: Yeah, it’s me. Hee hee. I have a few shout-outs to the peanut gallery, and then Fm signing off for good.

Thanks to Momster and Stone T. for always laughing but not really understanding why. If I ever need an ego, I know where to find you two. Thanks to all my pals and drama queens for being so interesting that I never had to work harder than roll out of bed in Naughtyham to find column fodder. To Hyonah and Neels, my sexy roommates, who make me laugh so hard I no longer do sit-ups. And honorable mention to Pooja “Sexual Blackhole” Misra, who still denies what she said in the Dillo.

But most of all, to my girls, Abs and

Sarita, boy, would I be lonely if I rode this wavelength alone.

Sara: Well folks, it’s a wrap. Thank you, Mom, for reading our “article” faithfully despite the unintelligibility of Duke material, and Dad, whose bit about the “Pitchfork want-to-bes” [sic] being called the “Blue Deviled Eggheads” definitely should have run. And Chris, as if you weren’t one of the losers carrying the refrigerator! Thanks Em, for keeping our secret and tossing up some ideas. And Gregg, for relying on your roommate’s deductive capabilities to try to read me like I can read you. Riiiight. For the record, I joked about consulting interviewees because I was once one too, foolishly hoping I could afford ‘cute clothes’ in grad school (actually Phil’s idea). And finally, thanks to Abs and D for putting up with my whining and being the best ‘friends for life’ a girl could find.

Abby: So Phil and Jordan, your advice was already in effect. Maybe you knew and were just trying to be sly, unlike the Monday night dinner crew who brought up the column without knowing we’d

written it. Of course, me and my latent paranoia instantly assumed you had figured us out, but apparently, until last week I was mistaken. I just can’t believe more of you didn’t call us on our little anonymity stint. To the select few of you who did realize it was us, nice detective work. Craig, you confronted me about this months ago, so despite my attempted diversion, you win. Jen, Tom, Ryan—apparently you have to be in the column before you realize who wrote it. And as for my partners in columnist crime, thanks for doing this. It’s been tremendous.

So here we are, a proud triumvirate of former Miss Americas, waving and crying just before they introduce our successor. Hopefully we’ll now be funnier in person since we won’t be saving our two cents for the presses. Whether that’s a promise or a threat, we’re over

and out.

Dania and Sara encourage our former readership to tune in to WXDU to hear Vinyl Abs work the graveyard shift next semester.

THE ARTFUL DODGER arrives on the scene Monday, Monday THE ARTFUL DODGER First, THE ARTFUL DODGER wishes to applaud The Chronicle and President Keohane for supporting the weddings of same sex couples in the Chapel at Duke.

I began to worry that the decision caused some confusion, however, when I crossed the quad to find both Communist and homosexual students celebrating the decision. One fellow wearing a Karl Marx Tshirt remarked to me that he had worked as a teamster this summer, and often checked out the fine asses on the guys over at the International Federation of Building and Wood Workers. Pulling long shifts driving tulips from Minneapolis to St. Louis, there were times when he wished they’d work on his wood (Hear ye, hear ye: THE ARTFUL DODGER has now filled his painfully obvious and crass sexual joke quota for the semester). He added that the International Transport Workers Union has had a thing for the International Elevator Constructors, and the International Florists Union would act as best man at their wedding in the spring.

Meanwhile, two UWC teachers in horn rimmed glasses wearing berets registered at Tiffany’s via cell phone, and I could not help but think that Keohane might have been a bit more specific in the wording of her decision.

I would like to apologize to those two love swept grad students for stereotyping them in the above paragraph.

Indeed, I learned this week through what could only have been the actions of some brilliant PR agency working on behalf of the grad students that they are typically stereotyped as “impoverished academics.”

Perhaps this is true to some, but my stereotype is a bit more vivid, typically involving a mangy goatee, a master’s thesis on buggery and auto-eroticism (bolstered by hours of first person research) and a dejected ARTFUL DODGER getting a C for using masculine pronouns.

Then there is my own sexual fantasy of a grad student, which usually involves the DODGER getting deflowered in her off-campus abode, amid rose petals, beside an empty bottle of sherry and a gleefully empty cask ofVaseline.

Dean Willimon, meet my friend Bacchus: This is the sort of intellectual athleticism that I came to Duke for.

that Duke football has not recruited a five-foot-twoinch Asian for the position of It

turns out

fullback since,.,

ever.

Athleticism was also a theme this week, as Melissa Sullivan dropped her (field hockey stick? softball bat? polo mallet?) for a pen and defended fellow athletes from libelous comments in The Chronicle, saying how shocked she was by “Dave Nigro’s Tuesday column, ‘Athletic Absurdity.’” She added that Duke athletes play sports for “respect,” not money or other worldly goods.

After reading this, the captains of several mens’ varsity teams paid a freshman FOCUS student to put into words their conviction that, with the aid of several cases of Budweiser, this respect could be exchanged like tickets from a skee-ball machine for “incidental coitus, hubris and vainglory.” The remaining male athletes theft immediately Went to dictionary.com to look

up the exact meanings of “incidental coitus, hubris, and vainglory.” Upon finding the definitions they agreed emphatically, and one was heard to remark,

“Incidental coitus is the best.”

As for my own hubris, THE ARTFUL DODGER has wanted to be on the Duke football team since he was a sperm cell. (When he was an egg cell he wanted a cell phone, an addiction to Parliament Lights, black pants from Bebe and an attitude, but that is neither here nor there.) I failed once again this year to join the prefrosh jockos for their recruiting weekend. It turns out that Duke football has not recruited a five-foot-twoinch Asian for the position of fullback since... ever.

Yet, the recruits were quite impressed when after Friday night’s reception I single-handedly jacked the sound systems of 14 cars from the Cameron lot using only a toothpick and breath mint from the Oak Room.

Coach K, I am enjoying your Bose sound system. I will send you back the collection of Czech polka classics via campus mail. Indeed, The Chronicle might have reported the theft in their police blotter but they couldn’t find any synonym for “stolen” that alliterates with “Bose.” Another purloined projector and a box of obfuscated Oreos got the press coverage instead.

Shed a tear.

I hope that my theft did not offend Brian Denton, an assistant dean ofstudent life who wrote a Dec. 7 letter

to the editor entitled “Column title offends Elvis Fans” about Thomas Bowman’s column, “Throwing Rocks at Elvis.” Brian, weren’t you more offended by the fact that the King died while evacuating his bowels, hopped up on speed and constipated with the collective digestive angst of over 23 jelly donuts? Brian, was your letter an alcohol-free event?

Methinks not.

THE ARTFUL DODGER wishes you a warm holiday with much incidental coitus hubris and vainglory.. ,

House president: Arbitrary standards remain a problem ?•»'

REVIEW from page 3

year—said she wasn’t sure what would constitute an excellent rating.

“When we asked questions about

what made an outstanding house, [Ward] couldn’t give us any standards or specific things we could be working on,” Chen said. “If even he can’t tell the difference between a good and outstanding house, how are we supposed to know the difference? It’s like going through a [room blind] —we just do our

thing and hope that he’ll give us a good grade.”

Last year, the ARC dissolved Old House CC after house leadership failed to meet several deadlines. Members of

the house were outraged, claiming that the process had been unfair, and several members ofthe ARC admitted they never meant for the dissolution to take place.

This year, several selective house leaders say they are not worried about encountering a similar situation.

“The different leaderships in the selective houses should take the right steps to get everything done and on time... so that problems that House CC had don’t occur,” said senior Hill Hardman, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Chen worries, though, that the ARC can more easily dissolve a non-greek selective house because there is no umbrella organization—such as the Interfraternity Council or the Panhel-

lenic Council—to voice the opinions of the leaders.

“We don’t have as strong a presence as [greekl selective groups,” she said. “[Nongreekl selective houses are in a more precarious position than other forms of housing, even though we could argue that we potentially give more to the campus.”

Earlier this year, non-greek selective house leaders met to discuss the possibility of an umbrella group, but conversations on the topic have died out.

Election comes down to 90-minute Supreme Court hearing P ELECTION from page

legal struggle. “We are going to follow the dictates of the United States Supreme Court,” said James Baker, the former secretary of state who represents Bush.

“You can rest assured on that.”

And David Boies, the lawyer who will appear before the court for’ Gore, said: “If the Florida Supreme Court’s opinion is reversed and the United States Supreme Court says no more votes are going to be counted, then that’s the end of it.”

After weeks in which lawsuits and counter-suits proliferated up and down the state and federal courts, this phase of the extraordinary election has now come down to 90 minutes of argument in a case entitled, fittingly and simply, Bush v. Gore.

Arguing for Bush will be Theodore Olson, who appeared on the Texas governor’s behalf in the first Supreme Court argument Dec. 1. Joseph Klock will also argue again on the Bush side on behalf ofKatherine Harris, the Florida secretary of state.

Boies, who presented the winning argument in this

phase of the case before the Florida Supreme Court last Thursday, will replace Laurence Tribe, who argued Gore’s cause before the Supreme Court last time and whose name remains as counsel ofrecord on the brief

the Gore team filed Sunday. The two lawyers, who argued against one another in a Supreme Court case 13 years ago, have collaborated throughout this case.

The Dec. 1 Supreme Court argument, and the justices’ subsequent order vacating the Florida Supreme Court decision then at issue, figured prominently in

the brief the Bush lawyers filed Sunday attacking the state court’s latest ruling.

The Florida Supreme Court has not yet responded to the justices’ Dec. 4 order to clarify the basis for its Nov. 21 decision to extend the deadline for certifying the results of the state’s presidential vote. That means that the decision remains vacated, deprived at least temporarily of any legal effect.

The Bush brief told the justices Sunday that the Florida court’s ruling Friday nonetheless continued to build on its earlier decision by ordering the inclusion of votes that were counted after the original certification deadline ofNov. 18 had expired.

“The court below not only failed to acknowledge that its earlier decision had been vacated,” the brief said, “it openly relied on manual recounts that had occurred only because of that opinion.”

“Such reliance on a prior vacated decision defies this court’s mandate and extends the error ofthe Nov.

21 decision,” the Bush lawyers told the court, adding: “Without a single reference to this court’s Dec. 4 decision, the majority of the Florida Supreme Court announced sweeping and novel procedures for recounting selected Florida ballots to determine anew the winner of the Nov. 7 presidential election in Florida.”

The brief asserted that in ordering the recount, the Florida court committed essentially the same statutory and constitutional errors that caused the justices to vacate the earlier decision: usurping the state legislature’s authority under the U.S. Constitution to determine the manner of choosing Florida’s presidential electors by undertaking a “wholesale revision of Flori-

da statutory law.”

In addition, the brief said, “the unconstitutional flaws in the Florida Supreme Court’s judgment immediately bore further unconstitutional fruit” when the recount decision was carried out Friday night and Saturday morning.

Because neither the state Supreme Court nor the trial court that was supervising the recount set standards for how to assess the various ballot permutations, “the court’s newly devised scheme for re-tabulating votes is plainly arbitrary, capricious, unequal, and standardless” the Bush brief said.

The Chapel’s importance to Harmon and others like him rests in what it represents to him and the community. He admits that “there are a host of wonderful places and other churches that let people have ceremonies like this,” but insists that the Chapel’s significance goes beyond location.

“Duke is really like a cathedral like the way the old cathedrals were. They were the true centers of town..., the center oflearning, where people came together,” he said.

Raleigh resident Michael Armentrout, Trinity ’7B, agrees. He calls the Chapel the center of Duke, “architecturally, spiritually and emotionally.... It’s an image, it’s a logo.”

Armentrout and his partner held a commitment ceremony in Hawaii in 1988 because the Chapel was unavailable to them.

Someone cracks Nutrition Center safe, steals $325 from it CRIME from page 4

from the computer cluster in room 208 of Kappa Sigma Dormitory, Dean said.

An employee reported Dec. 7 at 3:04 p.m. that someone had stolen a $3O Microsoft mouse with “Duke OIT” engraved on the top from the Teer Library basement computer cluster, Dean said.

Someone stole a $5O computer mouse from a secured room on 2200 Duke Hospital between 5 p.m.

Dec. 1 and 11 a.m. Dec. 8, Dean said. There were no signs of forced entry.

Cash taken: Between 6:30 and 7:40 p.m. Dec. 4, someone stole $3O from a student’s wallet, which was in an unsecured locker in the Wilson Recreation Center locker room, Dean said.

Safe cracked: An employee reported that between 12.30 p.m. Dec. 3 and 4:55 a.m. Dec. 4, someone broke into the Steadman Nutrition Center, forced open a safe and stole $325 from it, Dean said.

Man removed from campus: At 7:39 p.m. Dec. 6, a Campus Police officer noticed someone who had previously been trespassed from Duke property was in

the Bryan Center, Dean said.

Twenty-year-old Sedric Hunt of 5319 Eno River Drive was charged with trespassing and has a court date Jan. 9.

Student arrested: At 10:38 p.m. Dec. 7, a Campus Police officer arrested a student on East Campus for simple possession of marijuana for having one joint, Dean said.

The freshman, 18-year-old Andrew Salenger of 18169 Kingsport Drive in Malibu, Calif, was caught in the East Campus gazebo.

Salenger said he was wrongfully arrested, claiming he only had rolling papers on him and that the officer picked the marijuana up from the grass behind him and his friend. He said he will probably contest the citation.

Democracy, the military and Starship Troopers The members of the armed services have the same rights to democracy as private citizens; no more, no less Democracy, however, is only historically associatresponsible, even self-sacrificing, are permitted to An unexamined life ed with our country, and as we can see from the turthink out and enact long-term, responsible courses bulence in our current presidential election, democracy can be messy, fragile and confusing.

If sufficient members of the public, or perhaps

Edward Benson A few days ago, a letter to the editor in a local paper caught my eye. The writer made such a sweeping, undemocratic statement that it startled and amazed me.

The local paper’s identity, or that of the writer, isn’t important. Nor are the other points of the let-

ter. Discussing those here would distract from the central issue which must be addressed, which was the penultimate sentence: “I earned my right to voice my opinion by serving my country.”

Now I’ve got nothing against military service. I considered the military myself back in high school and college, in part because my grandfather and my father both served, the latter for 21 years. Both of them were in combat, and both have my gratitude and respect, which is true of veterans in general.

“Greater love hath no man,” as applied to the military is, in my opinion, not simply a religious justification of the deliberate violence of armed conflict. It is also a statement of courage in the face of fear that can inform any soldier’s purpose. And of course, any military member has a right to voice opinions, subject to their duties.

But quite frankly, anyone who believes that the right to voice one’s opinion derives from serving the government—in the military, or wherever—is missing the very point of that service. For, quite apart from the nationalism or patriotism that anyone may feel for their country of origin, military members in this country serve democracy.

substantially fewer members of the military, decide that democracy is not what is desirable, then our form of government will someday come to an end.

To wit, claiming that the right to voice an opinion hinges on any arbitrary qualification is profoundly anti-democratic, and an insult to all those who serve democracy.

..

.claiming that the right

to

voice an opinion hinges on any • arbitrary qualification is

profoundly antidemocratic It might be possible to run a democracy in which the rights of the people to free speech are severely constrained—Singapore springs to mind. But then would we consider it a true democracy, or simply a sham?

“I earned my right to voice my opinion by serving my country,” is stunning in its blatantly anti-democratic invective. And it is strongly reminiscent of the world mapped out in Robert Heinlein’s brilliant science fiction classic, Starship Troopers.

In that thought-provoking vision of humanity’s future, the right to vote is reserved for those who have done their military service. Tellingly, civilians are depicted as indolent, self-indulgent and shortsighted, and only veterans, who are depicted as

for society as a whole.

There’s even a scene wherein a former civilian literally weeps with gratitude for the military which redeems not only him, but his entire society. It’s worth noting that the culture so outlined is explicitly the result of the collapse of Western democracy due to social unrest and defeat at the hands of a “Chinese hegemony.” It’s a vaguely paranoid, arguably fascistic system.

Such a vision is utter nonsense when applied to today. I know many, many civilians who work long, hard hours, who are responsible, decent people working to better the world and themselves both in their jobs and on their own time. To be sure, there are some lazy, irresponsible, even dangerous people walking around in “civvies,” but then we’ve seen, sadly, that there are a few of that sort walking around in uniforms, too. And that’s after they went through the selection and training intended to make them more responsible people.

But for any of us to claim that only they have —or should have—the right to voice their opinion is contrary to the very meaning of democracy. Indeed, service to the government in general is not the purpose of our lives, or of our society. Provided that we do not harm others, or break laws that do so, our free society means that what we choose to do with our lives is our own business, whether that is serving government, or otherwise pursuing whatever each of us define as happiness.

For in this great democracy, we hold that government derives its “just powers from the consent of the governed:” A government of, by and for the'people.

And not the other way around.

Anticipating the end Young sanyassin ]ona Hattangadi OK, so classes are over and exams await.

Everyone commences with the 72-hour cramming period where the bags under your eyes grow larger as your synaptic transmissions grow fewer. At least that’s what happens to me. In the delirium of sleep deprivation, I often enter a different world of consciousness—a skewed perception of reality. What is and should be obviously apparent is lost, and I’m left with a delightful trance of my own creation.

Everything is infinitely more amusing. Simple movements are epic. And the drunkenness of nocturnal life consumes me.

What is she rambling about, you ask? Well, seeing as this is an exam break issue and you may have nothing but this and your organic chemistry text to read, I figured that gives me some power to write about whatever I choose.

So I will resume my discussion on the manifestation of a tired, yet more aware understanding of things. I find that taking a break from my studying and wandering though the mazes of the Perkins stacks, I wrestle with my own values and perceptions, my own meanings and meaninglessness.

Analyzing the graffiti accumulated over decades on the wooden desks is sometimes amusing, other times revolting—but basically illustrates the transcendental nature of college culture. Profanity knows no corruption by the clocks.

Caffeine is a wonder drug—mocha lattes for the savvy, black coffee for the hard-core. Mountain Dew cans pepper the recycling bins.

And for one sublime week, superficiality is cast aside; those clad in pajama pants and fleece are styl-

ishly minimalist. Most neglect grooming and don an old Cubs cap instead.

And for what, really? To pull in that last ditch effort to improve your GPA, to make up for that test you bombed, to prove to your parents that their money has not been wasted. To get into medical school or law school or to impress some company. But certainly not to learn anything. After the three-hour intellectual catharsis that is most exams, I can barely remember my own name, let alone anything else.

But maybe that’s just me.

The thing is, none ofthis really matters. Enjoy the highs of sleep deprivation—refrain from driving—and then go home. The holidays await. At my house,

Enjoy the highs

of sleep deprivation—refrain from

driving—and then go home.

The holidays await. a dusty fake Christmas tree, artificial logs in the fireplace, and brightly decorated palms on the patio.

And everyone else will go home, play with their dogs, hug their parents, beat up their kid brothers. This will all be a blur.

I always seem to reflect on the last semester once I’m home—what I may have learned and done. And I can’t always quite place it I’ll look in the mirror and see the idiom of confusion, persistence and curiosity written in fine script through the lines on my face. I haven’t a clue what I want, and somehow that thrills me.

I’m learning to trust my intuition, harness my innate feelings, rely on instinctual behavior.

Shouldn’t I be more focused? I suppose I should. But

what’s the rush? I don’t think time is what we think it is—even our most advanced concept of it is inadequate. It doesn’t always impose limits on our actions and our lives. Time is the dream in between when time was not, and when time will cease to be. Those are its only absolute boundaries.

I can sense a deeper reverence for child-like things, a greater appreciation for wandering and discovery. I want to augment my capacity to be affected by that around me. I can respect the boundary walls of human awareness, but allowing the wonder it evokes to preside over my imagination.

And I want to develop that free flow between consciousness and the unconscious which you need to make your awareness whole. All this in four months?

Well, perhaps not. It may just be the ludicrous notion of escaping responsibility and the real world. Or it could be quelling the shriek of a rebellious void wanting to be filled.

The fact is, I’ve learned much from introspection, but a great deal from other people here. From creative friends who want to start their own mindcandy magazine, and those brilliant individuals who plan to study music because doing so would be sharing a gift—l’m inspired. There are those, who like me, have no clue what will happen when we are unleashed on the world.

And I’m thankful. There are also those who know exactly what they want and where they want to go.

I’m impressed.

Then there are those who just want to finish their studying, take their exams and leave. And to them I drop some bits of advice; Relax. Always set your alarm. Don’t sleep through the final. If all else fails, make something up. And then it’s over.

As for me, I thank those who may have employed my random streams of consciousness for passing enjoyment. I may sound clueless, but believe me—uncertainty isn’t a liability, it’s a blessing.
