NCAA champions return to crazed campus Bonfire celebration affects attendance of Tuesday classes

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

For the third time in four days, students packed Cameron Indoor Stadium to cheer on their basketball team.

This time is was not to cheer during a game, but rather to welcome back the na-

tional champions.

“I used to have a case of 1991-92 envy” sophomore David Lang said. “The class of 1992 how lucky were those guys?

“It’s a honor to cheer for these guys. They’re a joy to watch and I am proud of them.

I’m proud to be a Duke student today. No one can be a better representative of what Duke stands for.”

Fans, which this time included faculty, employees and Durham residents in addition to students, packed Cameron starting as early as 12:30 p.m. yesterday in anticipation of a 2:15 p.m. rally.

Although the team did not make it to Cameron for another 90 minutes, they received a hero’s welcome upon entry.

“It was certainly great that the team had the opportunity to celebrate with the students, fans and members of the community,” head line monitor Norm Bradley said.

After a brief introduction by Duke president Nan Keohane, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski addressed the crowd to claps See RALLY on page 17 P*

If you woke up slightly woozy yesterday and decided to just go back to sleep, you were not alone. Despite the official continuation of classes, many students said they skipped their courses, and professors said they noticed.

“I heard a rumor two days ago that they were going to cancel classes if we won,” said sophomore Craig Erdrich. “I believed them, but I guess it wasn’t true.” Erdrich and several other students reported missing their morning classes. Only a few, however, said they received e-mails from professors canceling them.

Many students also abandoned afternoon classes to attend the welcome-back celebration in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Although the festivities were scheduled for 2:15 p.m., they were delayed over an hour because the basketball team’s plane took off late.

“They should make [classes today] very optional. This is just as important as class,” said sophomore Courtney Slagle, who was one of thousands of fans waiting for the team.

China blames U.S. for plane collision President Bush warned that detainment of the crew could damage relations

By MARTIN FACKLER Associated Press

HAIKOU, China China allowed American diplomats to meet the crew of a U.S. spy plane Tuesday for the first time since the plane landed on Chinese soil after a collision with a Chinese fighter jet, but there was no sign when they would be allowed to return home.

China blamed the United States for the collision and demanded an apology. President Jiang Zemin demanded that the United States stop surveillance flights off China’s coast.

Students Bryan Center renovations in debate get grace for religious days

By DEAN CHAPMAN The Chronicle

A long-standing policy excuses students from class without obtaining a Dean’s Excuse if the holiday they wish to celebrate is on a list of accepted observances.

By ANA MATE The Chronicle

As Duke becomes increasingly diverse, University administrators are affirming their commitment to respect cultural and religious differences. This year, Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson has made sure that faculty members are aware of various religious holidays and Duke’s policies on dismissing students for them.

Thompson said that faculty should

make their students aware of the University’s long-standing policy excusing students from class when they have a religious conflict. In his Jan. 10 memo, which he sends out twice a year, he also included a fist of major religious holidays.

“The policy is part of the Duke philosophy and approach,” Thompson said. “It enables students to participate in events important to them.”

The policy does come with some restrictions. If a student wishes to be ex-

cused from a holiday not on the list, he must ask Thompson for an excuse. And if a student does miss an assignment See HOLIDAYS on

page 9

Correction A page-eight headline in yesterday’s edition of The Chronicle incorrectly described some of the events in Tuesday morning’s bonfire. The Southgate Dormitory bench did not go up in flames.

After a year’s worth of speculation about potential renovations to the Bryan Center and West Union building, the University has yet to produce any formal plans, ruling out previous hopes to start construction by the end of this semester. Instead, the space needs committee will issue a list of suggested modifications by the end of April; the report will then be considered by University Architect John Pearce.

Now administrators are looking at the end of the fall 2001 semester as a potential ground-breaking date.

When the Bryan Center’s upper level was renovated over the summer—adding a $200,000 ticket and information booth—the construction was hailed as an important step toward improving the often-criticized layout of the student center. However, the only progress made in the last several months has been in the form of conversation, not construction.

“Our hope was that we could get conversation started this year,” said Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky, a senior. “The fact that the [Duke University Union! board has been discussing this —at least having conversations —sets a really good groundwork for getting out a collaborative voice.”

Administrators, with the help of the University Architect’s office, have been batting around several possible changes to the Bryan Center, including moving the Office of Institutional Equity to another Bryan Center location; moving religious groups to the basement space vacated by OIE; expanding or relocating the center’s shops; expanding Dining Service’s kitchens; and using space on the first floor for a new bookstore, cultural space or cafe expansion.

An idea that continues to resurface is the addition of a new floor to the Bryan Center—a project expected to cost between $3 million and $ll million.

MANOJ RAJAPAKSA/THE CHRONICLE

BRYAN CENTER RENOVATIONS will likely include the addition and expansion of office spaces Currently, even small spaces, such as the one pictured above, are in high demand.

Although Bazinsky and immediate

past Union president Pam Wells have not been active in the conceptualization and planning of the proposed renovations, officials are aware that any changes would involve student input, particularly those of the incoming DSG and Union presidents.

“We know that any of this would also involve a new round of conversa-

INSIDE THE NATION

«More cancers betray full-blown AIDS Researchers at the National Cancer Institute and the Danish Epidemiology Science Center said doctors should consider incidences of Hodgkin’s disease, lip cancer and testicular cancer when determining whether HIV-infected patients have full-blown AIDS. A study of 300,000 AIDS patients found that they were several times more likely to develop these cancers than normal patients. Maligancies already considered indicative of AIDS include nonHodgkins lymphoma, cervical cancer and a skin cancer known as Kaposi’s sarcoma. *

Supernova may reveal ‘dark energy’

Peering back in time to 10 billion years when the universe was in its adolescence, the Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the most distant exploding star ever observed. The barely detectable supernova is causing researchers to rethink how the universe works because it shines brighter and moves differently than it the universe had expanded at a steady rate since the beginning of time. Some say this finding also supports a theory that mysterious “dark energy” is unevenly accelerating the expansion of the cosmos.

Running requires exercise regimen

Spiders mastered art of silkmaking

Researchers at the University of California at Riverside and the University of Wyoming used genetic analysis to determine that a class of spiders known as orb-weavers all use similar silk threads to weave their webs. The scientists thus concluded that the basic recipe for making silk dates back 125 million years to when the earliest orb-weavers evolved and leaves little to be improved upon. Reported in the current issue of Science, the study is the latest attempt to understand how spiders decode the complex molecules that make up silk.

By MATT BRUMM The Chronicle

For many, finding the motivation to take a jog is a difficult task. And the idea of planning an actual exercise regimen—which includes varying the time, intensity and speed of running—is nearly unbearable. But experts say that’s exactly what you have to do if you want to better your cardiovascular health, lose weight and

build endurance.

Michael Huff, sports performance coordinator at the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Research Laboratory, said that running decreases the risk of diabetes and obesity and improves coordination, cardiovascular health and brain function.

“Every system in your body works together when you’re physically active,” said Huff. He added that the legs and lungs, in addition to the cardiovascular system and the upper body, are the principal parts exercised when running.

Cardiovascular Health Of all the advantages of running, cardiovascular gains have the most long-term significance, said A1 Buehler, professor of health, physical education

and recreation.

For runners seeking to improve their cardiovascular health, Huff recommends setting aside a time specifically for exercise and improving the quality of the workout. Workout quality may be improved by combining straight distance runs, interval training and inclines.

THIS WEEK’S HEALTH TIP

RUNNING SURFACES Benefits; These surfaces are plentiful.

Drawbacks: The hardness of these surfaces can cause injuries like shin splints. Roads are better for running than sidewalks because asphalt causes less strain on the legs than concrete.

Benefits: Stairs provide a great workout.

Drawbacks: People with knee problems need to be careful going down stairs. The extra distance of the step down again increases the impact force on the leg.

Benefits: The uniform surface is safer than roads or trails. Shock absorbtion is very good, which cuts the chance of injury.

Drawbacks; Lack of scenery.

Benefits; Tracks are made especially for running.

Drawbacks: Not all tracks are the same. AtDuke we are fortunate to have one of the best tracks in the country.

Benefits: Trails of grass or dirt are softer than roads and sidewalks, making impact injuries less likely.

Drawbacks: Rocks, holes and other obstacles can be dangerous to a runner. Uneven ground can cause strain to certain muscles and ligaments. Sand is particularly bad to run on because it does not provide enough support.

Runners should adopt a regimen based on their current physical fitness. “For a beginner, two to four days per week is pretty good for cardiovascular health,” Huff said.

Buehler, a former long-time Duke track coach, emphasized the role of aerobic exercise. “Run comfortably for 30, 40, 50 minutes at a nice steady state,” he said. “Take in the oxygen you need to get the job done.”

Weight Loss

John Hinkle, senior exercise physiologist at the Duke Center for Living, said that low to moderate intensity running for long durations is the best plan for weight loss. But Huff warned not to overdo it at first.

“Running places a pretty significant stress on the body,” Huff said. “Start slow—even [combine] walking and running, gradually increasing the percentage of time you’re running.”

Buehler said that running programs designed for weight loss should account for differences in daily caloric intake. He added that reducing the number of calories consumed is a much easier way to lose weight than starting an exercise regimen.

Endurance

The most effective way to improve endurance is to devote a greater amount of time to strengthening the quality of a workout rather than extending the time period ofexercise, Huff said.

Buehler said that uninterrupted running—without pausing to rest —over set distances helps to improve stamina.

NEAL PATEL7THE CHRONICLE

RUNNING can be an enjoyable and relaxing hobby in addition to serving your health needs.

Fitness experts agree that those who begin exercising more should take a clear approach to ensure success.

Buehler recommended constructing a specific, feasible plan.

“Do it with specific goals in mind.

Have it be enjoyable. Do it with a partner,” Buehler said. “Be realistic with your goals and where you are.”

Huff said that people should not view time constraints as a major barrier to exercise.

“People get caught up in the time,” he said. “For most people, a 30 to 45 minute workout is something they can budget into their day.”

Sneakers designed with high specificity

By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle

Just do it

Or rather, just buy it. When it comes to sneaker selection, many people may not even realize that shoes are manufactured for specific purposes, let alone know which sneaker is for what.

“Shoes serve two functions,” said Bob Bruzga, coordinator of sports medicine physical therapy at Duke’s Sports Medicine Center. “They are designed to minimize injury and to improve performance.”

And the wrong shoes can lead to various problems.

“Shoes that don’t fit properly or are improperly worn [for the activity you are doing] can overstress your foot, leading to possible foot fractures, callouses, blisters and foot deformities,” said Dr. Farshid Guilak, associate professor of orthopedic surgery.

Wearing the wrong shoes can also lead to pains to other parts of the body. “If the feet are not well supported, other joints can be adversely affected. Knee, hip and back pain may be injuries that are caused by inappropriate or ill-fitting footwear,” Bruzga said.

The three main types of sneakers are running, crosstraining and court shoes. Court shoes —including basketball and tennis shoes—have soles that are less shock-absorbant, wider and more squared-off so they are good for lateral stability in activities that require cutting, pivoting, jumping and lateral movement. In contrast, running and training shoes have a softer, cushioned sole with a sharper edge angle, making them better suited for forward motion and motion control.

Physical therapists and trainers believe shoe-related problems stem from people unknowingly wearing shoes that are inappropriate for the activity they are doing. “I see guys playing basketball in running shoes, and it

makes me nervous because [those shoes] are built for straight-ahead running, not lateral movement,” said Mike Huff, coordinator of sports performance at the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Research Laboratory.

“Running shoes give little ankle support, so the chances of spraining an ankle [when playing basketball] are much greater,” he said.

The inappropriate use of shoes, though, may arise initially from consumers not knowing which shoes to buy in the first place. “Unfortunately, a lot of people have no notion of foot problems, so for the young age group, the selection criteria becomes brand allegiance, what athletes wear and what’s in style.... For older people, the criteria for purchase is based on price and comfort,” said Bruzga. “People buy sneakers they like, not [because of] what they might be doing with them.”

And therapists are skeptical that sales representatives can help in the selection process. Bruzga suggests asking the store managers, since they are more aware of the frequently changing shoe models.

Physical therapists are also wary of the new modifications to shoes such as shock absorbers and air pumps.

“A lot of times the main thrust of selling shoes is marketing,” said Tony Francisco, a research analyst at the K-lab. “Yes, [certain modifications] make shoes better in some ways, but it depends if that change is something you’re looking for.”

For those planning to buy a shoe, specialists sug-

gest buyers learn the structure of their foot, including its width, how it arches and in which direction the foot normally rolls. “Don’t buy shoes based on looks but based on what fits, what’s comfortable and what will last under the conditions that you will put them in,” Huff advised.

Development project looks for tenants in addition to Duke

By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Over a year ago, Raleigh’s Capitol Broadcasting Corporation enthralled the Durham City Council with plans to transform the vacant American Tobacco factory from an eyesore into a thriving downtown center filled with shops, restaurants, apartments, office space and a concert hall. But construction has yet to start on the project.

Capitol, the owner of the Durham Bulls and WEALTV, plans to spend over $l6l million on the American Tobacco Historic District, which will lie adjacent to the Durham Bulls Athjetic Park.

But before Capitol will invest the money to begin construction, it must find one or two major tenants to commit to a substantial amount of office space, ensuring the project’s financial security. “[We’re] talking to larger corporations, getting them to expand,” said Peter Anlyan, general manager of Capitol’s Durham real estate. He added that Capitol is primarily courting tenants in the Research Triangle Park area, with special focus on biotechnology companies.

Anlyan noted that several promising companies have shown interest, and it will be 60 to 90 days before Capitol receives their answer. Duke University is currently the only major tenant, with a commitment to lease between 100,000 and 120,000 square feet of space, primarily for administrative offices and academic departments.

Bill Kalkhof, the head of Downtown Durham Inc.—a private group aiming for downtown revitalization —has been working closely with Capitol and the city on American Tobacco. Kalkhof said that because ofthe downturn in the economy, Capital’s original plan to begin construction this past summer was overly optimistic.

Despite these troubles, Kalkhof said Capitol remains as dedicated as ever to American Tobacco. “The best measure of excitement and optimism about a project is the developer, Capitol Broadcasting: Are they still putting a lot of time and money into the project? And they are,” he said.

The city council also remains optimistic about the potential revitalization of downtown. Council member Dan Hill said that he expects American Tobacco to provide 4,500 new jobs and to convert downtown “from a downtrodden, tough place to an energized center.” “[This could be] the biggest thing to happen to Durham since Duke was founded,” he said.

Council member Lewis Cheek stressed the need for patience with the project.

“I don’t view time as having gone by without work as great significance,” he said. “With that sort of underof taking, a year is not that significant a period oftime....

The huge amounts of money required to start construction mean Capitol is best off taking it slowly.”

Still, Hill said the council is eager for the revitaliza-

tion that American Tobacco promises for downtown.

“There is frustration because we want it to happen so much,” he said.

American Tobacco will use 1.4 million square feet of total space, but Anlyan said Capitol needs to sell only 150,000 more square feet of offices before cleaning and renovation can begin. And planning and designing the structure is nearly finished.

Once the major tenants commit, Anlyan said, the shops and restaurants will fill in with relative ease.

In support of the project, Durham has promised $37 million to construct parking decks. Council members said this will require a property tax increase of one cent per $lOO to take effect when Capitol is well underway

with construction.

Council member Erick Larson has advocated a strict hands-off policy with American Tobacco, stressing that Durham will not spend any money until Capitol progresses with the project.

Committee examines local high school’s internal flaws

By MATT BRADLEY The Chronicle

They say that you should never judge a book by its cover —and for Durham’s Hillside High School, that mantra couldn’t be more true. The new $26 million high school houses a dwindling student population, kids that consistently perform below grade-level and a damning grade-fixing controversy. Even with Hill-

side’s beautiful exterior, Durham Public Schools Superintendent Ann Denlinger is forming a planning committee to give Hillside a much-needed facelift.

Amidst the school’s controversies, the

school board’s new committee will attempt to pump new life back into the historically black high school. The committee, which includes 24 parents, teachers, students, area business leaders and school board members, is chaired by Associate Superintendent for Administrative Services Calvin Dobbins.

“The committee is going to look at a three-pronged approach,” Dobbins said.

The plan includes an evaluation of Hillside’s current academic condition by looking at test scores and other academic indicators, “shaping a vision” for the school,

The Fourth Circuit Court ofAppeals will conduct a series of cases at Duke School of Law April 6. In order to demonstrate to law students how an appellate court actually operates, the court occasionally visits law schools throughout the five states over which the court presides.

“This is very important to us because the law students of today are going to be the attorneys of tomorrow,” said Chief Justice Harvey Wilkinson.

“We are very excited about coming to Duke. It has a marvelous reputation and we are looking forward to meeting the faculty and students.”

Possibly ranging from criminal to labor to corporate law, the cases will each include 40 minutes of oral argument after which the circuit will answer questions from the student body about how the court works, and will give insight into how the court reaches their decisions. The cases will be drawn from those filed in Virginia,

olina and South Carolina.

“This will provide students with the opportunity to see the real world functioning, and will hopefully demystify the

process of judicial decision-making,” said Thomas Metzloff, senior associate dean of the law school. “Courts do not regularly do this—it’s more work for them than conducting the cases back in Richmond—and we appreciate that.”

Law students at the University are excited for the event as well. “This is our circuit... a lot of us who stay in this area will soon be arguing before these very people,” said Clevonne Houser, a second year law student.

Lisa Hall, a third year student, agreed. “It will help law students to witness the formalities ofreal oral arguments, especially those interested in

litigation,” she said.

The sessions will take place Friday at 9:00 a.m. in the Poyner Moot Courtroom and will be telecasted for those who cannot attend. The sessions are open to the public.

"Supreme Indecision: Aboriginal Rights in Canada" Through the 19905, a series of decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada have transformed the landscape of Aboriginal rights in Canada. The Marshall judgment (1999) recognized the legitimacy of indigenous treaty rights to fish for commercial purposes. That decision, in turn, created chaos and controversy in the East Coast lobster fishery and presaged future conflicts between Aboriginal and nonAboriginal Canadians over the commercial use of resources. The actions of the Supreme Court have generated intense criticism of judicial intervention and sharp backlash against Aboriginal aspirations and demands.

Milosevic statement opens way for war crimes prosecution

By STEVEN ERLANGER

New York Times News Service

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia Bosnia’s Foreign Ministry Tuesday seized on an admission by Slobodan Milosevic that he had channeled state funds to Serbian forces fighting in the 1990s wars in Croatia and Bosnia, saying discussions about Yugoslavia’s role in the atrocities of those wars “could now cease before international organizations and judicial bodies.”

“What Milosevic has confessed to now was clear a long time ago to all those who survived the horrifying events in Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as to the world public that carefully followed those events,” a statement from the ministry said.

Milosevic’s admission was the first time he had ever acknowledged such a direct link with Serb forces fighting in Bosnia and Croatia. His statement, which should now make it easier to prosecute him in either Serbia or The Hague on war crimes charges, came in a three-page appeal that he had filed seeking to be released from custody. But a Belgrade court rejected his request Tuesday, saying Milosevic, who was arrested Sunday, would continue to be held, pending an investigation of charges of. corruption and abuse of power.

In the appeal, in which he argued that money missing from the state had never gone into his own pockets but had been used to pay for the wars, Milosevic also implied that there was classified documentary proof showing how the money was used.

These matters are still state secrets, he said, but “judicial bodies could, of course, check them.”

Milosevic added, “I don’t mind any investigation of any aspect of my life, but it bothers me to be treated as a criminal for what I have done for my state in the best way it could be done.”

In 1993,Bosnia sued Yugoslavia in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, a separate institution from the war-crimes tribunal, for conducting a war of aggression and genocide. Yugoslavia has previously denied any involvement in the Bosnian war.

Vojin Dimitrijevic, director of the Belgrade Center for Human Rights and an international lawyer, said the admission is more likely to cost Yugoslavia in the court than to damage Milosevic himself. “Milosevic can always argue that he was defending the Serbian people and didn’t know the money would be used for ethnic cleansing,” Dimitrijevic said. “But he can also be tried for violating the constitution” by exceeding his authority and “deciding what is secret or not.”

Dimitrijevic has been named a member of a presidential truth and reconciliation commission, officially created Monday, to look into the causes of the wars in Yugoslavia. The commission is “pretty repre-

sentative,” he said, with writers, lawyers, historians this day, Serbs and Croats fiercely debate just how and theologians.

Israeli helicopters attack Palestinian targets in Gaza

By KARIN LAUB Associated Press

Israeli helicopters fired GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip dozens of rockets at bases of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s security services Tuesday, hours after a Palestinian mortar attack critically injured a 10-month-old Israeli baby and wounded his mother.

Seventy-seven Palestinians, including Palestinian policemen, were injured, said Tayeb Abdel Rahim, a senior aide to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He said 70 rockets were fired at five areas ofGaza.

In a seaside compound ofForce 17, a Palestinian security service, rockets ripped through the metal roof of a large garage, burning a car. The wall of an empty, two-story arsenal adjacent to Arafat’s home was pierced by a missile. It was not clear whether Arafat’s home was damaged.

Amid the escalation, the United States was trying to arrange a three-way meeting with Israeli and Palestinian officials to lower tensions. Raanan Gissin, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the time and place have not yet been set, but that Israelis and Palestinians have agreed to attend.

Palestinian officials said all issues should be discussed, while Israel said it would only address security matters. Sharon has said he would not negotiate under fire.

US. participation in such a meeting would indicate that the Bush administration is gradually being drawn into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, despite its

initial reluctance to get involved.

Abdel Rahim reiterated Palestinian claims that Sharon was implementing a 100-day plan of a gradual escalation, including rocket attacks, pinpointed killings and the capture of Palestinian militants. Sharon’s aides have denied the existence of such a plan.

Tuesday’s rocket attack came just a few hours after Palestinians fired three mortar shells into the Jewish settlement of Atzmona in the Gaza Strip. One shell exploded near Leah Yered and her 10-monthold son, Ariel, spraying them with shrapnel, settler Zvulun Kalfa told Israel TV.

A PALESTINIAN WOMAN holds a piece of an Israeli rocket that hit her house Monday night at a Bethlehem refugee camp in the West Bank, Seventy-seven Palestinians were injured as Israeli attacks continued Tuesday with helicopter strikes on Gaza.

The infant was critically wounded in the head and other parts of the body, while his mother broke an arm and suffered shrapnel injuries to the stomach, said Dr. Emmanuel Katz of Beersheba Hospital in southern Israel.

“We are attacking targets that are involved in terrorism after the barbaric and unbearable attack against the baby,” said Lt. Col. Olivier Rafowicz, a spokesperson for the Israeli army. “All the targets are involved in terror activities against Israel.”

Israel charges that Force 17 is responsible for many attacks against Israeli civilians, including am-

bushes, drive-by shootings and mortar bombings, Arafat was in the West Bank town of Ramallah at the time of the assault.

Ramallah was not targeted, but Israeli tanks fired shells at a Force 17 residence building in nearby Beitunia, destroying the building, Palestinians said The building was empty.

The rocket attack on Gaza began sometime after 8 p.m. At least seven Israeli helicopter gunships hovered above Gaza City, firing rockets at intervals of a few seconds. Flashes lit up the night sky, followed by loud booms.

Most professors said they understood students’ enthusiasm about the win but held classes anyway. “I know a lot of faculty members who had a hard time dragging themselves to class today, and I’m one of them,” said Jeffrey Karson, professor of earth and ocean sciences. “It’s just a lecture we had to do this time ofthe semester....

But people will catch up. We’ll have an extra review session if we need to.”

Karson said about 15 out of 80 students attended his morning lecture.

Patricia heighten, who teaches an introductory art history class, said she took her cue from the students. When several ofher 80 class members showed up, she decided to hold a session. “I would be sympathetic. We don’t have a national championship every year,” heighten said. “I would have been happy to [cancel class].”

Senior administrators, though, stressed that the academic nature of Duke would make it inappropriate to cancel classes. Duke rarely cancels classes —even on the Fourth of July, summer courses are still held.

“One of the outstanding features of our victory is that it was achieved by student-athletes who conveyed their athletic and academic commitment in everything they did and accomplished,” said Provost Peter Lange, who an-

nounced Monday that classes would not be canceled regardless of the national championship game’s outcome. Lange also said any penalties for missing class would be decided by individual professors.

due to a religious conflict, he must make it up at a later time. “[The policy] is not an invitation for students to get out of academic assignments,” said Peter Burian, chair of the Academic Council. “It is like missing a class for any other good reason.”

Students and professors agree that religious conflicts have not posed any major problems. Burian, also a professor of classical studies, has never encountered any objections from the faculty. And leaders of student religious groups say they have not heard any students complain about particularly strict professors.

However, both Brian Fried, president of the Free-

man Center for Jewish Life, and Hoda Yousef, president of the Muslim Student Association, did say that some professors have been more lenient than others.

“Students come to Duke taking it into account that it will be more difficult to practice religion and balance it with academics,” said Fried, a junior.

Yousef agreed and said that despite instances of professors not accepting dean-excused religious excuses, it has not really been that big of an issue.

“People just deal with it basically,” said Yousef, a senior. “Each student has to make a decision when faced between schoolwork and religious practice.

Students have to make a compromise no matter what their choice is.”

The ARAMARK fix?

Now

that the Duke Student Government has approved a resolution advocating ARAMARK’s management offour campus eateries, it seems inevitable that the $7 billion food service giant will come to Duke.

The whole situation is unfortunate. The University has no mandate for such action from the students and no guarantee that ARAMARK has the incentive and ability to provide quality food service.

What is even more unfortunate, however, is the way the company was brought to Duke. The course of events suggests that at best, the situation was woefully mismanaged and at worst, a fix.

Before DSG had the opportunity to evaluate the privatization, Dining Services eliminated the playing field ofpotential companies, zeroing in on ARAMARK. Instead oftaking bids —as any good business would do—administrators dismissed companies like Mariott Dining Services without even asking what they could offer Duke.

And when the issue did come before DSG, suspicious activity continued. DSG President Jordan Bazinsky vetoed a 24 to 23 vote in favor ofARAMARK, claiming that legislators needed more time to get informed. At the time, Dining Services and the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee promised legislators they would not wage an advertising campaign. But the full-page advertisements and numerous e-mails sent out the week before the next vote proved otherwise. No one can argue that the ads—which presented both sides ofthe ARAMARK debate—were balanced or that the informative e-mails were unbiased.

Furthermore, instead of voting to override Bazinsky’s veto, the Legislature voted on legislation virtually identical to the initial resolution —eliminating the need for two-thirds of legislators to vote in favor of ARAMARK. Even though it was approved in a 36 to 10 vote, legislators may have thought twice before overriding their president’s veto.

So, now that ARAMARK is coming, Dining Services must do its best to ensure that the company gives Duke what it wants: quality food service. University officials say ARAMARK will not immediately renovate the venues it will manage—the Oak Room, Chick-fil-A, the Great Hall and the Marketplace. These eateries already need restructuring, and a large capital investment is exactly the incentive ARAMARK should face: Duke should demand that the company put some money into Duke if it is truly committed to serving students here.

Throughout all of this, students should consider carefully the role of DUSDAC. What should be an advocate for students, seems more like a native collaborator than an oversight committee.

Not one concern was raised publicly by DUSDAC itself, indicating that the committee lacks true representation of the student body’s diverse concerns. Furthermore, opponents of the ARAMARK resolution received two minutes to speak before DSG in public forum, whereas DUSDAC and Dining Services officials had every opportunity to speak at the DSG meeting and elsewhere. DUSDAC even screened attendance at their “public” information sessions.

Clearly, the ARAMARK situation could have been handled better by the University, by DSG and by DUSDAC. Dining Services and ARAMARK have their work cut out for them: In order to gain the trust of the students, they’re going to have to prove that their interest in providing quality food is genuine.

Do not misread financial advantages as SAT bias I disagree with Laura Sellers’ March 8 column, “Sinking the SAT.” She mentions that SAT “scores increase with every additional $lO,OOO earned by the testtakers’ family.” She uses this statistic as evidence that this

test is inherently biased against the poor. I agree that students from upper socioeconomic backgrounds score higher on the test than other students. Is this necessarily bad? Are there factors that help explain it? The answers to these questions are no and yes, respectively.

Just because poorer students score lower on the test than richer students, are we to assume automatically that there are flaws in the test? I believe this is another exam-

pie of setting the standards lower to help the “victims.”

Rather than point to the test as the problem, why don’t we try to explain why these students are not scoring as well and then use those findings to bring the students’ scores up?

Sellers also mentions Richard Atkinson, president of the University of California System. She says, “He is concerned that it is not those who study harder and work harder who do better. Rather, it’s those whose parents are white, more educated and better off financially.” I have a really difficult time understanding these statements. He delineates this issue in black

Freedom from offensiveness? Nah. Beyond the wall Michael Peterson Remember the children’s taunt: “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words can never hurt me?” Well, apparently words can hurt you ifyou’re a Duke student.

I cannot believe students who level the most awful epithets at opposing basketball players can’t handle an ad in a newspaper. We are talking about students who toss panties and CDs on the stadium floor to humiliate, degrade and insult others, but students who cannot take words they don’t like, words they find “offensive.”

What’s going to happen to these babies in the real world when someone says, “Yo, you’re ugly”? Or, “You’re stupid.” Or the ultimate insult—"You’re fired! Your work doesn’t meet our standards.”

Who are you going to cry to then? Probably a lawyer who’ll litigate for you, lose the case, and charge you besides. It’ll serve you right.

I believe that political correctness is an insidious form of censorship. Apparently some people feel they have a constitutional right not to be offended.

If we, and by

If we do not now dare everything, then the prophecy as sung by a slave in the Bible is upon us: God gave Noah the rainbow sign. No more water, fire next time.

-James Baldwin It is the responsibility of intellectuals to reveal truth and to expose lies.

-Noam Chomsky Recently, we have been recovering a sense of social balance after being unsettled by the appearance of an anti-reparations ad. The ad revealed the current state of our pubbc conversation about race/reparations and awakened forces that are difficult to express in language.

We lack the tools to articulate the ideas that confront us. Healing Pages are an attempt to recognize the size and shape of our current experience. They are an effort to recover a sense ofintellectual rigor and integrity. They are an attempt to retrieve our social discourse from the realms of commerce and popular advertising.

David Horowitz penned an ad. He purchased newspaper space in order to “freely’ speak opinion. He used the ad to solicit funds for the advancement of his business. As a community, we have explained to ourselves that this action is

allowable under the First Amendment and that Horowitz has the privilege to use it in this way. Here, we sustained injury.

Rights have become privileges. What was guarded by the First Amendment

remains

neither “inalienable” nor “human”, but rather becomes commercial and inherently unequal in character.

Rights seem publicly elusive, but commercially available for the purchase price.

We suffer the loss of illusions about the possibility of“freedom of speech” when we realize that “freedom” is commonly bought and sold in our world. “Freedom” is transacted in board rooms and ideas exchanged not in the marketplace (fabled and euphoric) but on the auction block (violent and abusive).

Horowitz’s communication is manipulative. He does not engender the “healthy dialogue” that the University has espoused. Rather, he relies on social numbness and paralysis to keep us blind to his true intention. Horowitz is not a subtle player. It takes work not to see this.

Blindness enabled The Chronicle to behave in the way it has, no less abused by a resourceful tactician (if not a towering intellect). They simply don’t know that yet. This is, perhaps, why an apology is not forthcoming. Having missed the editorial moment, The Chronicle promptly passed its own blindness on to the rest of us. Their blindness combined with the Horowitz abuses to create a tangle that serves

Horowitz.

The clear intention was to shatter the sense of community that could possibly impede his business interests and his political agenda. [How much weaker the domestic Nike demonstration would be were we to lose a sense ofhuman connection to the workers in Indonesia. How much more ready we would be to roll back the most profound advances of the Civil Rights Movement were we to forfeit our sense of human connection to American racism.] No. It was never intended that a “healthy dialogue” be engendered.

Community was to be shattered and the “subject” of reparations is the means to those -ends. We are more focused on the social profanity, the ramifications of “free speech” and the musings of a student editor. It is regrettable that, having taken a stab at journalistic heroism, all that has been achieved is arrogance.

We seem satisfied proclaiming that it is David Horowitz (and not reparations) that is a “bad idea,” we are convinced that he is an idiot (read in the ancient Greek sense of the word, being concerned only with id or self) and we are consumed by legal defenses of his right to be that way. It is easier to do this than it is to speak about the subject of the presented text: reparations. This is intended and by design. The cost of this is that blackness is forced to become a backdrop in its own social discourse. We have achieved the equivalent of an intellectual Tarzan movie with the object of blackness marginalized in the side of the frame and the subject centered and occupied by an average actor and a terrible script. It is the spectacle that preserves this moment, nothing more. Smoke and mirrors, cloak and dagger... circus.

The ad catalyzed polarized and polarizing responses. The polarized response was fostered by an already difficult social climate and by an intellectual/academic environment in which these issues appear as marginal ones, as if affecting “them” and not “usTme”, as if affecting “Other” and not “sameTself.” We imagine ourselves apart from one another at our peril and with shared consequences. The polarizing response was fostered by the reactions of our institutional leaders, so many deer caught in the ideological headlights (myself among them), responding to the surfaces of things (to the content) and not to the depth of things (or their subtext). Nothing conditions an environment more profoundly than the implications of inaction. The consistent message from on high has been dispassionate.

Skins bum in acids that are far less corrosive, yet no danger/poison signs were issued here.

Not long ago, I met with Duke Student Government President Jordan Bazinsky in my office. I had just seen a Dallas Cowboys game in which an offensive lineman had suffered a spinal injury. He was carried from the field unable to move. Tears ran down his

cheeks for the absence of pain, a sudden numbness and paralysis. It was strange that the Cowboys gained a little more

than 30 yards when play resumed.

When someone is injured that severely, we are ineffectual. We simply applaud and the game goes on. This game was nationally televised and sponsors had purchased commercial space to market/auction their wares. We could not stop the game, there was already too great an investment in its completion.

Everything comes at a cost. Here, we had traded a measure of our dignity for a net gain of a little more than 30 yards.

We likened the story to a fraternity party (ironically, a similarly polarized and polarizing event). Rather than a lineman, it was a bingeing student who had been “injured”, having passed out from the overdose. A flag was thrown, a whistle was blown and the paramedics rushed the “field”. The downed “player” was carted away to the hospital by the medical team, a fellow student and an amnesty clause. As with the Dallas game, it was strange when the party resumed. When someone is injured that severely, we are ineffectual. We could not stop the party, there was already too great an investment. Everything comes at a cost.

The lived experience of race and the social experience of alcohol are intimately linked. Our ability/inability to deal with of race and alcohol are linked. Both condition the University experience. Each of us is profoundly affected. The link is obvious and we know it. It takes work not to see this. The only thing that prevents clarity and community is the he that we tell ourselves about the way we live. The strength of the he is the magnitude of our investment. A healthy climate at Duke University is entirely possible, but everything comes at a cost, and we pay either way. The questions are before and beg our attention. It has long been time that we answered them.

Editor

Race plays an unfortunate role in U.S. prisons I am struck by how many prison/death-row activists do not examine racism inherent in the criminal justice system as crucial to understanding how the prison culture exists in its current state.

In light of David Horowitz’s ad and the ensuing debate, I am interested in this perception ofthe criminal justice system and in how the conversation on campus and in the press about the Horowitz ad revolves around a factual error that slavery no longer exists in this country.

Section One of the Thirteenth Amendment states: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist with the United States, or any

people incarcerated in prisons and jails were

place subject to their jurisdiction.” After this amendment took effect, the U.S. prison system took on a new shape, with the government arresting people who participated in behavior such as vagrancy, insulting gestures, and absence from

listed as black.

With racial profiling, police (and citizens) have difficulties in reporting and investigating crimes without being influenced by race.

With the privitization of

work, behaviors described in the various state “Black Codes” as illegal. The convict lease system soon went into place, allowing companies and state and local governments to pay prisons for the use of inmates for work. The companies and governments had no contractual or legal obligation to feed or sustain the inmates while they worked.

In 1999, 13 percent of people living in the United States as citizens were listed as black. Also in 1999, 46 percent of

prisons, more inmates are needed to make the building and upkeep of prisons profitable.

These are just facts; I am not sure whether we still live in a country that supports slavery. If you would like more information, there will be a rally today at 1:00 on the State p.m.

Capitol steps in Raleigh, where many will speak about racism and the justice system.

The Chronicle angered cultural groups with ad As members of the Asian, South Asian, Caribbean, Latino, Jewish, Muslim and Native American communities on Duke’s campus, we would like to express our outrage at The Chronicle’s decision to run David Horowitz’s full page advertisement in the March 19 issue of The Chronicle.

The Chronicle

PAGE 15

Transfer policy may adversely affect school’s scores ¥-

HILLSIDE from page 6

and then using these inputs to design a program for improving Hillside. The committee’s work is scheduled for completion at the end of the academic year.

One aspect of Hillside High School that many community members feel is at the core of the school’s problems is Durham’s liberal transfer policy. “The school was designed to handle 1500 students, but it now has just under 1000,” said committee member and Hillside parent Coleman Moore. “The district allows parents to transfer their children out of their neighborhood high schools freely,” he said. “Both black and white parents see the statistics that Hillside has students operat-

ing below grade level, and they select to take the better students and transfer them to other high schools,” As a result, Moore says that the Hillside student population is disproportionately black, and that grades and test scores have dropped precipitously.

Some school officials do not believe that the transfer policy is a factor in

Hillside’s current predicament. “I think that our liberal transfer policy gets the blame, but people were not willing to go to Hillside for a number of reasons... and the enrollment issues really predated the liberalization of our transfer policy,” said school board member Phillis Scott.

Hillside came under scrutiny last fall, when its Principal, Richard Hicks,

tendent decided that she needed to transfer Mr. Hicks, but she returned him for the remainder of the school year,” said Gail Heath, vice chair of the school board. After this year, Denlinger will transfer Hicks to another post within the Durham school system, where school officials say he will continue to earn the same income—about $lOO,OOO. Even with Hillside’s many problems,

the high school and Hicks have found

supporters. “The [school’s internal] committee announced that they would not be submitting any names for people to serve on the search committee—parents or teachers,” said Heath. “I think that it would be a mistake for them not to participate, and I think that it’s a show of support for Mr. Hicks.”

Moore, however, maintains that the committee’s reluctance has nothing to do with Mr. Hicks. Moore proposes that the planning committee wait until its work is done before naming Hillside’s new principal. “We think that it makes eminently more sense to be patient and wait and match the principal to the plan, rather than the plan to the principal,” he said.

President Jiang Zemin said the EP-3E violated international law and intruded into Chinese airspace. “The responsibility fully lies with the American side” for the collision, Jiang said, according to Zhu. “We have full

China “has the right to investigate the whole incident as well as the plane that caused it,” Zhu said.

U.S. military officials say the Chinese undoubtedly boarded the plane and examined its sophisticated equipment.

“We have every reason to think the Chinese have been all over the airplane,” U.S. Ambassador Joseph Prueher said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

The U.S. military says the EP-3E was on a routine surveillance mission in international air space. Zhu said the plane “made a sudden and big movement” and hit the Chinese fighter.

U.S. military authorities say it was more likely that the faster Chinese plane brushed against the lumbering EP-3E.

Linebacker prepares to potentially start � SCHARRER from page 17 that time, Scharrer has re-established his priorities, which now revolve around excelling in the classroom rather than hitting a curveball.

“I’m older and a little more mature now,” Scharrer said. “I know how good it is now to be going to a place

like Duke.”

Scharrer said maturity has given him an apprecia-

tion of what the college experience can do for him in

the long run. He hopes to enter the business world in some capacity after graduation, and his first priority in the next four years will be preparing himself in the classroom for this future. “That’s totally out of the cards,” said Scharrer of any future in professional sports. “I would like to do something with business, but I am not sure exactly what right now.”

On the football field, Scharrer will play linebacker, giving Duke some much-needed depth. Although his size and muscle are ideal for the position, he barely touched a football in the last six years, meaning this spring has been especially important for Scharrer in preparing for the upcoming season.

In Saturday’s scrimmage, Scharrer showed some room to grow, missing a few tackles that he admitted he should have made. But his ability was evident also, as he showed off his above-average quickness and ability to make big plays.

Appreciative fans got a glimpse of what he can do late in the game, as he came up with a fourth quarter interception. Franks was impressed as well, and said Scharrer has the potential to start this fall depending on how much he improves during the rest of the off-season.

“Coming from baseball, we just didn’t know how he was going to adjust to the collision factor,” Franks said.

“I was very pleased about the way he adjusted out there [Saturday].”

Franks even singled him out after the scrimmage as one of the players who played particularly well, high praise for someone fresh off hitting baseballs for six years. Afterward, Scharrer received the Most Improved Defensive Player award for his performance all spring.

The good start is encouraging for him, but his baseball experiences have taught him to set realistic expectations. A place in the starting squad for the Blue Devils’ opener against vaunted Florida State would be special, but the mature Scharrer will not be one to let his head get too big.

“I’ve got a ways to go,” Scharrer said. “In high school, I just ran around and tackled the guys. Here, I’ve got to be in a certain position on each play, so it’s an adjustment.”

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA STUDENTS set fire to cars and overturned them after their team lost to Duke Monday.

Riots rock Tucson, Ariz. after loss

By ARTHUR ROTSTEIN Associated Press

With the TUCSON, Ariz. bumed-out vehicles cleared away and smashed windows boarded up yesterday, police tried to sort out the riot involving University of Arizona basketball fans.

Police also were examining their own response to Monday’s melee in a commercial and residential district near the university.

The riot began after Arizona’s loss to Duke in the NCAA championship in Minneapolis.

Fans overturned vehicles and set them on fire in a scene reminiscent of disturbances that followed the Wildcats’ victory in the 1997 title game. Police eventually resorted to firing rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowds.

Seventeen people were arrested, at least seven of them students.

Police had deployed about 500

officers in riot gear Monday night in the Fourth Avenue area, anticipating a rerun of problems seen after Arizona’ national championship in 1997.

Police Chief Richard Miranda said he was pleased with his officers’ performance in responding to the violence. “I think we did a better job,” he said. “This situation was isolated to a two- to three-block area. The damage, to me, wasn’t that extensive,” he said.

Officers did not move in and begin enforcing their order to disperse until after revelers had tipped over several vehicles and set at least two cars and a motor home on fire.

Tim rioters, mostly young men, also overturned planters, trash bins, smashed some decorative street lights to bits and tore down street signs at the peak of the disturbance.

A brick wall and part of the roof

of a bar called The Hut was scorched by one of the fires, and several of its windows were boarded up Tuesday, like those in a number of stores over a three-block stretch ofFourth Avenue.

Several people were hit by the rubber bullets, and four of about 10 people requiring medical attention at University Medical Center were admitted, all with non-life-threatening injuries, spokeswoman Pila Martinez said.

Two men were listed in fair condition and another man in good condition. A woman was admitted and then discharged.

Alexis Hernandez, associate dean of students at the University of Arizona, said seven of those arrested were students.

“It’s unfortunate that anyone who is enrolled in the university might have taken part in that and it’s embarrassing,” he said.
