Troubled hospital tops expectations � The hospital said last year’s financial losses were $2 million lower than predicted but also reported an operating loss twice as high as it once expected.

TORI NOTO removes the last bench from the Hideway, which closed at the end of the last academic year. Administrators say the space will be used for other social events in the future.

Duke will rent out Hideaway

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Three months after the Hideaway closed, the space once occupied by the student-run bar will soon reopen as a facility for group rentals.

Former owners of the bar removed their remaining equipment this week, and after some cleaning, the space will be available for social events, a move that comes amidst broad discussions about social space. “It appears that at least in the short term that it will

be a commons space available for students to reserve, like any other social space on campus,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for

student affairs.

Hideaway owners had complained that the establishment had become unprofitable—and therefore unappealing to in-

vestors —because the administration cracked down on underage drinking and then refused to restructure the lease. Student Affairs officials denied the blame,

stating that the bar closed because previous owners did not seek successors. Moneta did not rule out the possibility of eventually reeopening it as a bar.

Whether groups will rent out the space is uncertain, but in previous years the Hideaway has been for fraternity and sorority mixers.

“It’s certainly a good idea to have something that is so central on campus open for student events,” said senior C.J. Walsh, See HIDEAWAY on page 10 P

Durham Regional Hospital may still be losing money, but its officers nevertheless had a reason for optimism Wednesday: Last year’s losses were nearly $2 million less than they had expected.

Bill the hospital also released figures showing an operating loss nearly twice as high as projected for the first month of the current fiscal year.

Mark Miller, chief financial officer of Durham Regional, told the Durham County Hospital Corporation’s Planning and Finance Committee Wednesday that the hospital had lost only $7.5 million during fiscal year 2001, according to its unaudited financial summary. That sum represents a $1.9 million improvement over the $9.4 million loss the hospital had

been projecting.

“We’re really pleased withthe progress we’ve made,” Miller said. “We’re heading in the right direction.”

Miller attributed the improvements over the budgeted numbers to an increase in patient volume, combined with the hospital’s decision to cut unprofitable programs like the Oakleigh Substance Abuse Treatment Center and the Senior Health Center in Northgate Mall.

Miller stressed, however, that the hospital was still losing money and would continue trying to move closer toward profitability.

“Am I doing any high-fives because we lost seven and a half million dollars? No,” he said. “Am I See

ARAMARK plans major changes to dining options Students report little change in food thus far

By VICTORIA KAPLAN The Chronicle

ARAMARK Corp. has some big changes in mind for on-campus dining, but since students returned last week, most say they haven’t noticed a difference.

“I wouldn’t have known the difference if they didn’t tell me,” sophomore Matt Newell said of the food in the Great Hall. “All I notice are the new signs and the immaculate layout.” Over the summer, the company renovated the space, adding a different look

and theme for each station.

Sophomore James Gregory agreed, saying he did not notice much change to the food. “It’s good, but I don’t know if it’s better,” he said.

But Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said the Great Hall is already attracting more students this year. “We served over 1000 customers [Tuesday] night. That’s 150 to 200 more than last year,” Wulforst said. “The challenge is to hold on to that business and give quality to the customers.”

While initial changes may appear minimal, the corporation has big plans for Duke’s dining options.

New dishes, a new diner and coffee shop in the WestEdens Link and major renovations to the Oak Room and the Great Hall are in the works.

Jason Freedman, a senior and co-chair of the Duke

i iside

University Student Dining Advisory Committee, said ARAMARK will gradually introduce its new ideas.

“Not everything is in place yet, but we’re headed in the right direction,” he said, noting that although the dishes are similar to those of last year, the Great Hall and the Marketplace now offer “higher quality meats, fresher vegetables and better presentation.”

Freedman added that menu changes will occur on a weekly basis, as new dishes are perfected and old

dishes are re-evaluated.

Students will have the opportunity to taste test and vote on both new and old items before any changes are made, and DUSDAC will have the final vote before removing any old dishes.

“We want them to perfect the new dishes before presenting them,” Freedman said.

Officials will also post ingredient labels at the food service sites and on the Internet within the next couple of weeks, Wulforst said.

Additionally, employees have been trained to better accommodate vegetarians by using separate utensils, keeping a portion of the grill meat-free, expanding the salad bar and offering vegetarian burgers on a regular basis. There is a daily vegetarian dish at each station in the Great Hall and the MarSee ARAMARK on page 7

Bush calls for increase in defense funding

By SONYA ROSS The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO Unbowed by the latest bad budget news, President George W. Bush ratcheted up the stakes for his military spending increases by painting a dark picture Wednesday of a vulnerable America.

“I know this nation still has enemies and we cannot expect them to be idle,” Bush said. “Security is my first responsibility and I will not permit any course that leaves America undefended.”

He pledged to block any attempt to raise taxes to cope with the government’s evaporating budget surplus.

The president used a speech to the 83rd annual convention ofthe American Legion to draw battle lines for the spending debate that awaits him in Washington when Congress returns from its August recess next week.

He said his priorities are new military and education

funding, Medicare coverage for prescription drugs, new protections for HMO patients and passage ofhis initiative to give religious groups government social-services grants.

But new economic data suggest he cannot have his tax cut, more defense spending and his domestic programs without tapping the Social Security reserves that he prom-

ised not to touch.

Bush did not address those numbers, released by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office earlier this week. Instead, he swatted at those he said are secondguessing the tax cuts that he pushed through Congress in May on mostly party-line votes.

“I presume those who now oppose tax relief are for raising your taxes,” Bush said. “That would tie an anchor on our economy and I can assure you I won’t allow it.”

Department Wick plans to take proactive approach

implements changes � The history department credits

its most recent reforms with an increase in enrollment last semester and this fall.

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

After over a year of internal review, the Department of History is preparing to implement a series of reforms designed to address the concerns of an external review last year.

Most of the reforms concern enrollment, which had declined for six straight years until the department reversed the trend last spring and this fall. Professors credit the upswing to the department’s more ‘outreach’ lecture offerings, in addition to the seminars that had come to dominate the department’s curriculum.

“The idea behind the outreach class is to have a faculty member say what they have to say to the largest audience possible at the University” said Associate Professor Sydney Nathans, director of undergraduate studies for the history department.

For all those interested in playing rugby, Michael Wick is the man to see.

As the intramural rugby club president, Wick is actively recruiting new members. But besides being a rugby aficionado, Wick is also this year’s Interfratemity Council president. In that position, he hopes to do two things: more closely interacting with other student groups and being more proactive. “[Mike’s] an extremely hard worker with a strong passion for the fraternity community,” said Todd Adams, assistant dean of student development. “He understands how his fraternity constituents fit into the larger Duke community.” Adams,

the Interfratemity Council adviser, said that comprehension differentiates Wick from previous IFC presidents.

The northern California native said that by the end of the year, IFC will be “a strong proactive organization known for creating a favorable atmosphere for greek and independent students.”

Adams said Wick has begun the year on the right track by organizing a retreat this weekend for the presidents of Duke’s fraternities.

In addition, Wick opted to remain on campus throughout the summer, attending Duke Student Government forums and participating in a leadership series seminar. “Being in Durham all summer gave me time to talk to a lot of people and prepare for this year,” said Wick, a mem-

ber of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Wick has been an active member of IFC since joining the council his sophomore year. He said he chose to participate because the council has a lot of potential to help solve problems at Duke. He suggested that fraternities have the power to work together through IFC to proactively solve student problems at the University.

Although fraternities might not have the greatest reputation among some campus populations, Wick says that, on the contrary, fraternities comprise much more than what some students think.

“Fraternities do have their share of problems. However, frats do a lot of good things as well,” he said. ‘We are trying to

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT MIKE WICK says he hopes to strengthen fraternities’ role on campus and better represent his constituents. improve the bad press fraternities get but whatever comes, we always try to put our best foot forward. We hope to bring a positive outlook on the fraternity system.”

In the past, students and administra-

tors have criticized fraternities for not meeting community standards as Duke considers the role offraternities on campus. Last year, the University revoked

Phi Kappa Psi fraternity’s housing and recognition after the group failed the annual review. The new residential life plan gives prime housing space on Main West Quadrangle to independents, not greeks.

Wick cites his own fraternity experience from his freshman year as an example ofwhat fraternities do well. “I joined a fraternity because I felt I could add lifelong friends, leadership experience and fun social events to my college experience,”he said. “I found fraternities offered a lot of extra aspects of college life that

would be beneficial for me.”

As IFC president, Wick will serve as a liaison between the administration and the residential fraternity system. Among his many goals, Wick also hopes to help improve and diversify social options on campus. In addition, he wants to strengthen the greek system by improving communication and helping fraternity presidents and administrators solve problems collaboratively.

Although Wick enjoys laid-back activities like camping and just hanging out with friends, he approaches his duties as IFC president with more caution

and deliberation.

Adams said Wick knows how fraterni-

ties can function better both as fraternities and as members of the University. “[Mike] synthesizes lots of information and in doing so, sees the big picture,” Adams said.

Schlesinger sets school’s agenda � The new dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences hopes to strengthen several departments and transform them into national leaders.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle As William Schlesinger begins his tenure as dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, he is quickly formulating his goals for the 10year-old school.

Schlesinger has made it clear that he intends to change the long-term plan ofthe school. His top priority will be to identify a number of areas in which the school can lead nationally. “Our academics are broad but not particularly deep,” he said.

Preliminarily, he lists five areas: global change, earth surfaces processes, the Center for Environmental Solutions, sustainable forestry and coastal ocean ecology.

One of the marks ofthe previous plan was to create relationships around the world through distance education. Schlesinger expressed reservations about immediately pursing that objective. He hoped that the school could experiment with web-based learning through refresher courses for alumni before launching an international project.

Peter Half, chair ofthe division of Earth and Ocean Sciences, said that global change includes a number of issues that are already being explored by the school.

“Global change... would include things like climate change, the effect of human beings on the earth’s surface, ocean fisheries and the development and change in rapid transformation of ecological systems,” he said.

“It’s an unprecedented time in the Earth’s history....

Administrators struggle to find time for research

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Sometimes a dean needs a sanctuary from her ad-

ministrative duties. So Kristina Johnson, dean of the

Pratt School of Engineering, is building herself a lab Her research, which she conducts every Friday in the space she rents near South Square Mall, focuses on photonics, specifically crystal devices and applications for digital telecommunications. Johnson has experience in starting companies—she had a hand in starting five before she arrived at Duke “I didn’t feel Duke hired me Kristina Johnson to do research but to be a dean, she said. “I viewresearch as away to keep my sanity.”

Johnson’s experience is not unique. Academic administrators come almost exclusively from strong scholarly backgrounds, and leaving that behind is not

the civil rights and women’s movements. He is currently working on three books, one book ofhis own on politics and two others which he is editing.

He said that as an academic administrator, keeping up with a broad set of issues was an important part of his job.“[lt is important to keep] more in touch with the issues of intellectual excitement,” he said. “Faculty members see us as colleagues as well

as administrators.”

Jim Siedow, vice provost for research, retained his biology lab when he took a job in the administration last year. He said that shutting his lab down to take a job as the top academic officer for research would send a bad message to the faculty. He added that he stays on a number of editorial boards for academic

publications.

“It takes a change in your outlook. You really do have to realize you’ve taken a full-time job as an ad-

ministrator and that’s going to take away from the time you have for research,” he said.

Karla Holloway, dean of the humanities, is working on a book due out in February. She agreed that her research has helped to keep her in touch with the issues of her field, English.

“I feel most like myself when I’m writing,” she said.

“When you’re a writer, you feel in touch with the ideas and questions and processes of the field that you’re engaged in.”

Administrators also miss teaching at Duke. Some, like Johnson, try to set an example and still find the time to teach a course or two. The engineering school dean will be teaching a graduate and senior course on photonics.

Chafe, however, is unable to find the time.

“I miss teaching undergraduates,” he said. “I’m really good at it,” Dave Ingram contributed to this story.

always easy.

Some of the school’s other top administrators have even less time to keep up with their research projects, especially with the University’s capital campaign and the travel required by fundraising.

William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sci-

ences, spent the summer working on three different long-term projects.

“The good part about my summer is that when I’m away, I do [only] about five hours of Duke stuff,” Chafe said. “I could not do that when I’m here.”

Aide: If cease-fire holds, Israel may pull back troops � ISRAEL from page 2 cate, talked with Arafat several times.

Hassan Abed Rabbo, a senior member of Arafat’s Fatah movement in Beit Jalla, said his forces received instructions Wednesday afternoon from the Palestinian leader to stop shooting. “We are committed to

these instructions,” he said.

Raanan Gissin, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said a tentative agreement for a ceasefire in place had been reached by leaders on both sides and transferred to local commanders. If the truce holds, he said, Israel would decide about pulling its troops out.

But Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Wednesday if Palestinians resumed shooting on the neighborhood after an Israeli withdrawal, his troops would “absolutely” move back into Beit Jalla.

In the morning, firelights raged between Israeli

forces and Palestinian gunmen in Beit Jalla and the nearby Aida Palestinian refugee camp, and 13 Palestinians were injured. In a first sign that a truce was being enforced, witnesses said Palestinian security forces set up roadblocks at the entrance to Beit Jalla on Wednesday afternoon to keep gunmen out.

As part of the Israeli incursion, troops commandeered several rooftops of buildings with a view ofthe town. One was a Lutheran Church hostel. After a stiff protest from church leaders, the Israelis left the hostel early Wednesday.

Forty-five children in an orphanage next door, who had been confined indoors by the fighting and an Israeli curfew, were allowed outside to play Wednesday.

Ten-year-old Shihade Sharabati said he was frightened by the sound of heavy gunfire. “Today, we collected the empty bullets and we played with them,” the boy said. “I will keep them as souvenirs.”

Elsewhere in the Palestinian territories, four Palestinians and an Israeli were killed in ongoing violence.

One of the Palestinians died in an ambush attack on his car. Police suspect Jewish extremists carrying out a retaliatory raid.

The dead Israeli was a fuel truck driver who was gunned down after delivering gas to a Palestinian village.

In Hebron, an officer in Force 17, an elite unit of Arafat’s police, was killed by Israeli gunfire. The Israelis reported exchanges of fire in Hebron through the day, and 15 Palestinians were wounded, Palestinians said.

Palestinians said two Israeli tanks entered the Jelazoun refugee camp near Ramallah. The Israeli military said Palestinians fired at the settlement of Beit El from a car and escaped into the camp.

In 11 months of fighting, 595 people have died on the Palestinian side and 163 have died on the Israeli side.

By

reading Freud, Vickers,

Our inquiry will then expand to include the poets Labe, Sceve, du Bellay, du Guillet and Ronsard. In the last half of the semester, we will turn our attention from desire per se towards the history' of sexuality, a second key branch of “queer theory.” Theoretical and critical readings will include works by Foucault, Halperin and Freccero, among others. Early modem texts might include Louis le Roy’s Sympose de Platon, satires on Henri 111 and Catherine de’ Medici, chapters of Montaigne’s Essais and the anonymous L isle des hermaphrodites. Throughout the semester, we will be thinking about the insights and limitations facilitated by contemporary theoretical trends.

the question in the field of sexuality (the field don Juan is romping in when he gets this question), but also, and perhaps more importantly, and in the broader fields of personal, social and political “identity.”

This course is not afraid to look stupid. It asks, what is “un hombre?” What is “una mujer?” And why do we think we are, or think we have to be, so certain about the answer? This course asks, how do we get to be who we think we are? The “who we think we are” in this case is sex-- “male,” “female”-and gender-masculine, feminine. Are these genders natural, part of our bodily equipment? Are they learned as part of our social intercourse? Are they put on as we might put on makeup or a tie?

Texts studied will be primarily (but not exclusively) from the Iberian peninsula, and range from the late middle ages through the twentieth century. We’ll read “literature” and other cultural forms—popular magazines, advice books, film.

Durham Regional makes accounting adjustment >

DURHAM REGIONAL from page 1

pleased that we’re doing better than expected? Yes.” The hospital—which lost $12.9 million in 1999 and $16.9 million in 2000 has projected losses of $3.7 million for the fiscal year that began July 1.

But in the first month of the new fiscal year, the hospital’s actual operating losses were $303,434, almost double the budget projection of $159,429.

Miller explained that the difference, once again, was attributable mainly to a change in the number of patients treated.

—

“Unfortunately, in [July] our volume was shy of our plan, but we’re hoping

that will start to turn around,” he said, explaining that the hospital had fallen behind on surgeries performed but found three new surgeons who would be able to treat more patients.

But even if patient volume remains low, the hospital has a good chance to beat its projections for fiscal year 2002, due to an accounting move called a goodwill adjustment that the Duke University Health System made Wednesday. DUHS operates Durham Regional on a 20-year lease.

DUHS reduced the book value of Durham Regional’s assets from $126 million—a figure which assumed future hospital earnings—to $BB million, the value of the hospital’s tangible assets alone.

“This accounting adjustment is being made to more accurately reflect the ‘fair market value’ of DRH,” Kenneth Morris, vice president and chief financial officer of DUHS, wrote in a letter to Charles Blackmon, chair of the DCHC board of directors. “These savings will go straight to Durham Regional Hospital’s bottom line.”

The adjustment is an accounting one only; no actual dollars will change hands as a result of it. But on paper, it

means that the hospital can erase a $2 millioh expense from its annual budget—and thus is more likely to beat its

projections.

“We happen to start out with a very nice plus,” Miller said.

Miller also said Wednesday that of the 130 positions that Durham Regional announced it would cut in April, all but four of the employees involved had been reassigned to other jobs in the health system.

History becomes first department to accept AP credits HISTORY from page 3 courses that have a real general audience.”

Nathans said that enrollment will reach about 1,300 this semester. He added, however, that enrollment was hurt by three

popular professors unexpectedly taking leave for a year—Professor Alex Keyssar,

Assistant Professor Greg Grandin and Associate Professor Monica Green. “When you have lots of experts in a field you’re used to losing people,” said Professor John Thompson, chair of the history department.

Several other professors commended Thompson on improving atmosphere in the department, which had come under criticism for disunity.

In an effort to attract more majors who may have been lured by other fields in the economic boom ofthe 19905, the history department will become the University’s first to allow Advanced Placement credit to be used toward completion of a major, if the plan is approved by the University’s courses committee. Thompson expressed hope that the option would particularly help attract double majors.

“In the pool ofstudents that Duke draws on, virtually everyone has AP credit,” he said. “For distinguished undergraduate institutions like Duke, survey courses are pretty much wiped out.”

The department will also be introducing courses this spring exclusively for newly de-

dared sophomore history majors. The courses will be taught by some of the department’s best professors, Nathans said.

“One ofthe things we’re trying to do as well is to work on bringing a really good early experience to those that declare a major in history, something that gets them to meet together and develop a sense ofcommunity,” he said.

With that same goal in mind, Thompson is trying to overcome the challenge of having classes on East Campus. Although most classes will still be in the CanBuilding, the department has placed a

banner on the building to remind students of the department’s location. “We’re trying very hard to increase our visibility on campus, even with little things,” he said.

Another criticism of the external review was the amount of time graduate students spent in class. As a result, their class load has been reduced from four to three, although they are now taking on more teaching assignments as Curriculum 2000 requires more writing classes. Professor John Cell, director of graduate studies in history, called the change a better use of graduate students’ time.

“They’re getting a much clearer sense for the sources in a field. If you direct research papers, that is, what a goodtopic is and then work with the students on the research, you learn a hell of a lot from that,” he said.

THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT placed a sign outside Carr Building in an effort to better publicize its location and courses.

RESEARCH ON FOREST PRESERVATION will be a key area of improvement for Dean of the Nicholas School William Schlesinger. Scientists will use the Duke Forest to meet that goal.

Dean hopes to consolidate entire school to one place

Mr. Veraldi received his MBA from the Fuqua School of Business and is now with the IBM Corporation in the Research Triangle Park. He teaches MMS 191-192, Topics in Organizational Design: Expectations; Behavior, Product (M&M Internship Course). Past professional experience: Assistant Dean at the Fuqua School of Business and Mr. Veraldi has also worked for General Electric Corporation. ,

� NICHOLAS SCHOOL from page 4 It’s kind of a redirection of the overall problems we are used to focusing on.”

Half added that the transition of Earth and Ocean Sciences into the envi-

ronment school was, for the most part, going along smoothly. But still, he and Schlesinger hope to physically consolidate the two.

“I think it’s an excellent idea and the faster we do it, the better it will be,” Haff said. “It’s like in real estate. It’s all location, location, location.”

There are no plans to do so in the near future, but the solution could be adding a new wing to the Levine Science Research Center or moving the school to a different location altogether.

One area that will be physically impossible to consolidate is the Beaufort Marine Laboratory.

Mike Orbach, director of the Marine Lab, said that the lab’s marine conservation biology and policy concentration was the best in the nation.

“What we mean by that is we combine the natural and the social sciences together in our classes,” Orbach said.

“We are right at the forefront of the coastal ocean area.”

He added that the lab was building an oceanography maintenance building, and Orbach hoped to remodel dorm spaces. Duke’s division ofAuxiliary Services will also soon begin to control all the facilities for the lab.

Law professor Jonathan Wiener, who helped form the environmental solu-

tions center, said that the center is already establishing itself within a unique niche.

“It’s a University-wide, multidisciplinary center and it includes participants from the Nicholas school, the law school, the Sanford Institute, arts and sciences, Fuqua, engineering, medicine.”

The center hired Kathryn Saterson as its director, who is already working on several projects, like climate change policy and the role of environmental watchdogs.

Wiener said that although other similar centers exist—such as the Center for Environmental Law and Policy at Yale University and the Joint Program on Global Change at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—none were as multidisciplinary as Duke’s.

Schlessinger’s plan, like the previous one, listed faculty recruitment as a top goal. The new dean noted that over the next five years, as much as 20 percent of the faculty may turn over due to retirements. He added that, as the school currently has no African-American faculty members, more diversity will also be a top priority.

Former dean Norm Christensen, who remains with the Nicholas school faculty, wished his colleague the best of luck.

“We’ve been friends for 25 years,” he said. “We’ve worked together on many things. The advice I would give him is to focus, on the extent that you can, on a vision and how to bring those pieces together,”

Course Overview This course will cover the principles of corporate finance. Students will be exposed to 1) concepts and ratio analysis, capital processes involved in: structure, interest rates, debt/equity, risk and return, tax laws, equity markets, break-even analysis, cost of

capital, proforma statements, capital budgeting, planning forecasts, current asset management, valuation, mergers and acquisitions and time value of money; 2) techniques used to generate financial statements; 3) functions, technology and techniques of financial management; and 4) interpretation of financial data for use in making effective financial decisions. This is an introductory course and will not count for the M&M Certificate. This course is not open to first year students. The course is a prerequisite to two new 100-level elective courses in the M&M curriculum: "Entrepreneurial Opportunities and Finance" and "Strategic Financial Management." **For information about any of these courses contact: Bonnie Wilson- bwilson@soc.duke.edu

Cila emerges from Curtis’ shadow, leads team

By MICHAEL JACOBSON The Chronicle

As the most talented class in recent Duke men’s soccer history departed this past spring, veteran coach John Rennie knew this season would feature uncertainty.

“This is a classic rebuilding year,” Rennie said.

“Anytime you lose seven seniors (five of whom were starters), it’s tough.”

The 2001 edition of the men’s soccer team is a far cry, in terms of makeup, from that of last year. A much younger team, including eight freshmen and one transfer, the Blue Devils feature a very cohesive bunch of young players, thirsting to prove those who doubt Duke wrong.

“Last year [with the preseason number one ranking!, we were gunned for by everyone. This year... we’re not expected to do as well. That makes us more dangerous because we know how good we really are,”

sophomore forward Jordan Cila said.

The team is still rich with talent, but unlike last year’s freshmen class, this year’s underclassmen lack the core group of seniors who are expected and counted upon to be leaders.

On a team laden with outstanding individuals in search of a leader, Cila stands out.

“Each player has to decide his role on the team. I want to be a leader out there, and I want to make sure we win,” Cila said.

One of the nation’s most highly touted recruits last year, Cila, a member of the U.S. Under-20 national team, came to Duke seeking to make an immediate impact on his new team.

The colorful Croat was back on the Grand Slam stage Wednesday, basking in his role as reigning Wimbledon champion. With a nearcapacity crowd firmly in his comer, Ivanisevic beat Hugo Armando 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

Fans love Ivanisevic, but few expect him to duplicate his magical run at Wimbledon, where last month he became the first wild card to win a major men’s title. That achievement was all the sweeter because it came in the same tournament where he had endured a decade of despair.

Now he’s seeded 15th and in the weaker half of the draw but again considered a long shot. He’s still hindered by chronic shoulder soreness that will require surgery at the end of the year, and Wednesday’s victory was just his sixth at the Open since 1996, the only time he reached the semifinals.

The severity of the break is not known, although The Sporting News reported late Wednesday night that the 6-foot-2 point guard is expected to return to action before the start of official team practices Oct. 12.

Franks attacks spurious characterizations of Spurrier Spurrier’s former player and assistant defends him against accusations of being an egomaniac

By KEVIN LLOYD The Chronicle the bad He is boy of college football.

The figure on the sidelines is familiar: the madman, yelling at his quarterbacks.

He smiles, his eyes obscured by the trademark visor and sunglasses, as his team scores its 63rd point of the afternoon.

Steve Spurrier is not a beloved figure. In fact, there are probably coaches around the country that believe he would run up the score against a pee-wee football team.

“I don’t think that image fits him at all,” Duke coach Carl Franks said.

Franks played for Spurrier when Spurrier served as an assistant at Duke in the early 1980s, and spent 12 years as one of Spurrier’s top assistants.

“The people who make those statements obviously don’t know him,” Franks said.

“He is a competitive individual, and I think that carries over to his football team.”

But love him or hate him, everyone has to acknowledge the fact that Spurrier is a winner. Spurrier became the first football coach in NCAA history to win a hundred games in his first 10 years at a school.

Spurrier began his head coaching career at Wallace Wade Stadium, coaching the Blue Devils from 1987 to 1989. During the 1989 season, he led Duke to seven consecutive regular season victories to capture an ACC co-championship and a berth in the AllAmerican Bowl.

Franks said that while Spurrier’s team provides a model for the current Blue Devils, things have changed in the last decade.

“It’s a little different situation now,” Franks said. “Florida State wasn’t in the conference then. So, it wasn’t quite as difficult with the teams that you had to play. But he certainly set a standard here being the last school from the state of North Carolina to win an ACC Championship. That’s something that someday we hope to get ourselves in a position to do.”

After leaving Duke, Spurrier returned to his alma mater, where he had won the 1966 Heisman Trophy as a quarterback.

At Florida, Spurrier’s high scoring offense, known as “Airball” at Duke and “Fun and Gun” in Gainesville,

the bottom of the SEC to a position of dominance.

The Gators have stepped on the field only once in Spurrier’s tenure without a national ranking—the first game he coached.

Florida has won 7-of-9 SEC Eastern Division championships, six outright conference championships and the 1996 national championship. Prior to his arrival, no Gator team had won a conference title in the 56 years that Florida belonged to the SEC. But along the way, the Gators have earned criticism for their propensity to put up videogame-esque point totals.

“It’s really an unfair assessment,” the third-year Duke coach said.

“Your job on offense is to go out there and score points. In basketball, when you get way ahead, you don’t quit scoring. In football, when you put your [second team] out there, they’re allowed to keep playing. If the other teams keeps blitzing, you’re allowed to keep throwing.”

Franks also vehemently disputes suggestions made in the media that Spurrier is an ego maniacal control freak who second-guesses his

-

assistants.

“You coached your players,” Franks said. “They knew what to do, and they played hard. You did your job in recruiting. That’s what he expected of you. That’s fair—that’s what every coach should expect.”

Franks said the national news media pays little or no attention to the things Spurrier does off the field, choosing instead to focus on making him out to be a rogue element.

“One of the greatest experiences of my life was being involved with his staff,” Franks said. “He and his wife do a lot of things as a football staff family. We would go on cruises, and we’d go on beach trips. We were a close-knit group because he does care about family and the coaches. These are the things people don’t know and don’t see.”

Franks also spoke highly of the role Spurrier has played in his own coaching career.

“He’s been a tremendous influence on my career,” Franks said of his mentor, “He gave me my opportunity to coach, and I did well enough that I was able to move with him to several places.

“Hopefully I’ve learned something about how to be a head coach from him, how to manage a team and make the game fun for the team. He’s easily been the biggest influence on me in terms of Ir what I know about offense and hopefully how to be a good head

football coach.”

Cila confident that superior chemistry will make team better p CILA from page 13

I wanted to play right away. I made a decision out of high school, I wanted to go and contribute to the team. I wasn’t looking to score tons of goals or go after statistics. I was looking to contribute any way possible. I just wanted to win,” Cila said of his freshman campaign.

As the 2001 season begins Saturday against UMass in Raleigh at the Adidas Wolfpack Classic, Gila’s role will be a little different.

“Last year I wasn’t as concerned with a leadership r01e... especially with how many vocal seniors we had. I just wasn’t as concerned with [being a

team leader] last year because it wasn’t something that I thought I needed to do,” Cila said.

“Jordan did everything we had hoped for as a freshman,” Rennie added. “We wanted him to contribute; he did. We wanted him to score; he did. I was impressed by how much he did score. Thirteen goals is a lot for a freshman.”

After notching 35 points, including five game-winning goals, last season, Cila will be counted on to pick up much of the role vacated by last-year’s captain Ali Curtis.

“Ali was a vital asset for our team. He was a great goal scorer,” Cila commented. “I’m going to be looking for goals this year, but I’m not going to be selfish about it. If I have a teammate open, I’m going to be looking for him.”

Cila’s 2000 numbers tie him for second in Duke history in terms of freshman goals and third on the all-time freshman points list.

Although Cila’s numbers from last year put him on pace to tie or break many of Curtis’ marks, the unassuming sophomore forward refutes the comparisons.

“Ali and I are two very different players.... We worked well together last year because of that,” Cila said. “I’ve only had one great season. Ali had four. It’s too early to start thinking about things like [scoring

records].”

As far as filling in Curtis’ shoes, Cila is not too concerned about the team.

‘We’re not a better or worse team without Ali, we’re just a different team. Hopefully we’ll be better [at the end of the season] because of that,” Cila continued.

In the preseason, the team seems to have rebounded well from last season’s disappointing ending. In spite of picking up nine new players, the Blue Devils have seemingly meshed together very well early on and look to be a sleeper in the ACC. “What we lost in talent, we make up for in cohesiveness,” Cila said. “Our chemistry is better, and I think that’s going to help us do better than we did

last year.”

Memphis player cleared to Spit spat colors day when all play; former coach indicted of the higher seeds advanced on Wednesday.

If convicted, Lang and Kirk face per count fines of up to $250,000 and jail sentences ranging between five and 20 years.

The indictments came just hours after the NCAA’s Administrative Review Subcommittee, composed of staff members at NCAA institutions, approved a request by the University of Memphis to waive the one-year residen-

“The indictment alleges that it was a

principal object and purpose of the conspiracy to wrongfully obtain money and other things of value from universities, or fans known as boosters associated with the universities, seeking to recruit [Means],” federal prosecutor Terry Harris said.

Means, a former Parade All-America at Trezevant High, transferred to Memphis in January after playing last fall at Alabama. He left the school after hearing Lang and Kirk had shopped his talents to Southeastern Conference schools in return for cash, cars and other items.

Kirk testified under oath this week at a Memphis school board hearing that Crimson Tide booster Logan Young paid Lang $200,000 to get Means to sign

cy requirement for Means.

NCAA spokesperson Wally Renfroe said the committee reviewed only the waiver request and what was best for Means, not the recruitment allegations.

“There was no evidence that Albert Means knew about those allegations prior to reading media reports,” Renfroe said. “[The waiver was great news for] the Means family and for our football team,” Memphis coach Tommy West said.

“Albert has worked very hard throughout this entire ordeal and, at times, I know that it has been hard for him to keep his mind on his school work and on football,” West said.

The FBI, the NCAA, and the Southeastern Conference also are investigating the recruiting allegations.

Means, a 6-foot-4, 340-pound sophomore, practiced with the Tigers while awaiting the NCAA’s ruling.

The Tigers’ season opener is Monday against Mississippi State in Starkville, Miss.

with Alabama.

Lang, now coaching in Mississippi, resigned from the Memphis school system following the allegations but has denied wrongdoing.

Young, a Memphis businessman, also has denied making any payments to Lang.

On Monday, Kirk was suspended Kfepjtrtg

MEMPHIS, Tenn. A federal grand jury indicted two former Memphis coaches in a recruiting scandal involving former Alabama football player Albert Means, who was cleared Wednesday by the NCAA to play for the University of Memphis Lynn Lang, former head coach at Trezevant High School, and his former assistant, Milton Kirk, were chained with conspiracy, bribery and extortion, and warrants were issued for their arrests.

won 17 of the last 20 games to beat Christophe Rochus 7-5, 6-2, 6-1.

On a near-perfect day for tennis clear and mild the only precipitation came from Czech Michal Tabara, who admitted he spit at American Justin Gimelstob approaching the net to shake hands after their match. Gimelstob, who won in five sets, annoyed Tabara with his demonstrative manner and injury timeouts.

“I think he wasn’t fit,” Tabara complained. “He take injury time because he cannot breathe and cannot move.”

Gimelstob said he didn’t see Tabara spit, probably because he was looking away as he celebrated the win.

“The chance is 100 percent I didn’t see it, or I would have been on the other side ofthe net,” Gimelstob said. “I guarantee you the next time I see him, I’ll take it up with him.”

For entertainment value, only Ivanisevic could rival a spat about spit.

from innoGear,

His news conferences may be the most exciting 15 minutes in sports, and topics Wednesday included his sore left shoulder, off-color English and plans to play soccer for his hometown team in Split, Croatia.

“I signed the contract, so I’m on the team,” he said. “I’m going to be even more nervous, because is not my sport.

When they going to give me the ball, I going to get rid ofthe ball straightaway, just give it to the closest guy next to me, even if he’s from the other team.”

Ivanisevic apologized for language he used at Wimbledon to describe a linesman who annoyed him, and said he’s trying to be more careful about his choice of words.

“I swear on the court in Indianapolis, some religious group, they call,” he said.

“Everything what I say, everybody complaining, this group, that group. I have nothing against those people. Just that’s the thing I say. I’m not going to say it anymore.”

Ivanisevic resisted using curse words when discussing his rotator cuff injury.

The shoulder hurts, he said, as it did at Wimbledon, but he slammed a record 213 aces there and had 25 against Armando.

“I have a lot of aces, but a lot of painkillers also,” he said. “Each ace, one painkiller.”

Ivanisevic, 29, will be sidelined for several months following surgery, but he plans to play again at Wimbledon next summer.

“How can I not show up, even with one leg?” he said.

Academic enforcement

In

recent years, administrators from President Nan Keohane down have stressed the importance ofthe University’s Honor Code. At last Friday’s convocation, incoming members of the Class of 2005 signed their names to a paper, promising not to cheat, plagiarize or in other ways impugn their academic character. However, creating an environment of honor is not as simple as signing a name to a sheet of paper. Officials have had to wrestle with maintaining a punishment system while developing this ideal climate.

Perhaps the University’s recent agreement with tumitin.com comes the closest to maintaining academic honesty without damaging the trusting environment that administrators have attempted to foster. The Internet company provides a service that allows professors who question the authorship of a student’s work to submit the text for review.

The company’s computers generate an originality index for the piece and, if applicable, provide a list of possible sources the work plagiarized.

This policy is fairly unobtrusive, as anti-cheating measures go. It compares favorably to the double-spaced seating, securing bookbags and even restrictions on bathroom breaks that some professors employ as methods, which place unnecessary burdens on honest students.

Certainly, academic dishonesty is inappropriate in an institution of higher education. Universities are places ofevolved learning where people should rely on their own intellectual capital. But the technological revolution has made maintaining honesty in the classroom more difficult. The World Wide Web even contains sites where students can buy prewritten papers. In just this past year, 21 cases of Internet-related plagiarism were referred to the Undergraduate Judicial Board, with many more possibly uncaught or unreferred.

Still, turnitin.com is not a perfect solution. Administrators in the Office of Judicial Affairs must set a standard by which professors should use the service. Particularly, administrators must ensure that an adequate appeals process is in place. Computers are wonderful instruments, but in the end, they are relying on algorithms that are far from infallible. The service can be used only to identify papers as potentially unoriginal works—nothing more. The tool may help professors catch cheating, but it should not be a crutch.

In many respects, professors are the ones who will determine how effective this latest effort will be. University administrators have been begging them to take a more active role in the maintaining the Honor Code, but professors have been shown inconsistent responses.

Many simply take matters into their own hands, but such actions undermine a system that needs consistency. Not trusting the UJB for one reason or another, these professors propitiate a further environment of distrust.

Faculty members may be looking for flexible punishment for offenses for which they feel are not of a critical nature. Certainly, the UJB should be given some flexibility to assign lesser punishments for minor offenses. However, the UJB has a comprehensive advantage in that it has jurisdiction over every case and not just one or two instances in a single class during a semester.

Although turnitin.com does not do anything to foster a community of trust, it does not damage the trust present now. It is a tool that allows professors to stay with modern technology to protect the academic integrity of their classrooms.

Legislators should view human cost of tax hike While our governor and General Assembly look like deer blinded by the headlights in dealing with the unbalanced budget, dozens and dozens of corporate tax deadbeats wonder how well they will fare in the tax legislation lottery.

pie’s car license and inspection sticker were expired, he needed a blood-sugar monitor, and his wife needed a wheelchair ramp.

The elderly couple was on a waiting list for Meals on Wheels, but it would be a long wait because the local senior services organization was short on money and volunteers. The man’s wife was in a wheelchair after a stroke.

Without money for food, medical bills and help caring for

Several strapped government agencies were trying to help.

Is there a corporate tax deadbeat whose precious tax loophole is hidden from the public more deserving than this couple? Did they really

Commentary

The Chronicle

Junior faces new challenges It’s the first week of school, and already I’m in denial. At parties, on quads, even through my thoughts, I’m quietly lying to other people—and to myself. All of a sudden, my new modus operandi is avoiding the world. I’m not paying attention to my major requirements; I’m ignoring the new bank account I have to open; I’m even skipping out on my friends. For some reason, I am refusing to move forward. My dorm room still isn’t decorated. My classes still aren’t picked.

It’s like I’ve taken my life and gone into hiding.

Counseling and Psychological Services would diagnose this as “depression” and offer me Prozac. The Women’s Center would define me as “in crisis” and offer me tea. Fellow fiends of West Campus would nail me as “normal” and offer me another beer. But I’m going to declare myself “none of the above” and stop there. See, I know what’s wrong with me. I think it’s the same thing that’s wrong with a lot ofDukies this fall. We’re not depressed, or confused or even unhappy. We’re just getting old. At graduation last spring, a fellow sophomore found me after the ceremonies and said, “Well babe, that’s it. We’re on the way out.” It’s another year in the Gothic Wonderland, and as wideeyec* froB*llll6ll stumble back to East, Faran sophomores enjoy their new home Krentcil base on West, and the rest of us... well, we just start freaking out. The future is calling our names, and some of us aren’t ready to listen, Fve started to think about all of the things I haven’t done yet—intro to macroeconomics, a killer internship, the unofficial graduation requirements.

I’ve also started to replay all the times I screwed up—the way-dramatic breakups, the lame excuses for late papers, the unfortunate combo ofblack bag and navy blue dress... my whole life at Duke is flashing before my eyes, and I’m absolutely terrified. I haven’t called my friends or picked my classes, because I don’t want to admit that junior year is finally here.

My flawed logic is telling me that maybe, if I

My flawed logic is telling me that maybe, if I stay undercover, it’ll be like I’m not even here. stay undercover, it’ll be like Fm not even here.

This year hasn’t started yet. I have just a little more time to be carefree, crazy and me. Sadly, this isn’t the way the world works. Life goes on, whether I want to deal with it or not. So, here I am, forcing myself to look at the facts: The majority of my Duke experience is over.

But maybe that’s not a bad thing. There is no more freshman writing course, no more blazing sea nuggets, and no 4 a.m. bus rides home. There’s no more “Intro To” classes that I have to take and no more hauls to Trent to see my friends. And there’s still two more years of everything I love, including something new: my confidence. Being older does mean being wiser, and for the first time I feel like Fm walking on solid ground.

During my freshman year, I was tight with a pack of juniors. They were horrible influences, but I worshiped them anyway. I have a joke with them now: “Fm as old as you were when you met me.” It’s silly, but it makes us all cringe and laugh at the same time. One of my best friends just started law school.

Another stayed at Duke, doing some graduate work with the biology department. There is life after college, even ifI can’t see my future on fast-forward. It’s coming, and it’ll pick me up soon enough.

Last year, I was grabbing a smoothie with a junior friend. She said to me, “It’s so annoying. Everyone’s like, ‘oh my gosh, we only have two years left!’ But two years is forever.” She’s right. We’ve come a long way, but we’re going even further, and we have more than enough time to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Courts rule against affirmative action There is a major revolution happening right now, but it’s happening so slowly that hardly anyone has noticed. Affirmative action is in serious trouble at universities all across the country, and it’s about time.

Monday’s federal appeals court ruling f against the of University Georgia’s preferential admissions poliJohn cy was another 7* immerman major defeat for proponents of affirmative action.

The university had been making borderline decisions using a numerical scale that included points for many factors, race being a prominent one. The court unanimously ruled that this completely arbitrary method was unconstitutional.

But what stood out in the decision was the strong language the justices used to criticize Georgia’s idea of diversity. Simply having different races on campus, they noted, does not constitute valuable diversity.

This important point goes overlooked too often in the zeal to improve college guidebook statistics. At many schools, students of different races rarely mix because the university is more interested in admitting minorities than fostering racial harmony. If any good is to come out of these unfair policies, schools should at least follow through on their investment with more than superficial statements about how students should broaden their horizons.

But even more importantly, the phony diversity of race overlooks

the numerous other types of diversity that are far more valuable in an academic environment than merely the color of one’s skin.

Things like economic, philosophical, and even geographical variety are just as valuable. Judge Stanley Marcus went right after this point in the ruling: “If the goal

to come, you will be watched. You will be judged. You will be labeled. And, independent of your will, you will be boxed.

You have to wonder when some cliches were ever clever. Like the first guy to say to a bad singer, “Don’t quit your day job.” That guy probably got a few laughs. Or, even better, the guy who planned a whole dialogue for the bad

singer situation: “Who sings this?”

“Mariah Carey, I think.”

“Let’s keep it that way.”

He was definitely the clown of his clan. But after a clever phrase becomes so popular that my dad no longer snickers at it, the time has come to bury it for good.

Perhaps we should organize a mass burial for the following references in conversations and publications from this day forward: anything involving Kate Spade, anything involving Abercrombie & Fitch, anything involving Kate Spade, and anything involving Kate Spade.

Since I arrived on campus as a freshman last fall, the jokes about the stereotypical Duke student, particularly the female Duke student—black-panted on the weekends, J. Crewed during the week, Kate Spaded throughout—have evolved from foreign (before I realized their truth), to funny (once I did), to quasi-funny (once I realized I met some of the criteria for the stereotype), to obnoxious (once I realized how much effort I was putting into not appearing the stereotype).

Enter, Mademoiselle Duke. Just one issue of The Chronicle this past summer offers a fairly comprehensive picture of her: She eats only protein-free meals, spends hours on the StairMaster, is “grossed out by sweat”—yes, it’s a contradiction—has an “image-oriented” self-esteem and is the “ice queen” sorority girl of campus. She’s loved by columnists and readers alike because she’s easy to write about and easy to hate; the based-on-a-true-story icon representing all that is superficial about the University.

Why do we insist on associating fashion with depth?

Is it because the students wealthy enough to buy

designer names were probably admitted as legacies?

Because their apparent preoccupation with appearance could be to compensate for lack in other areas? Because we presume them conformists or spoiled elitists who should be spending their money on more worthwhile causes? We’re certainly justified in these assumptions by logical deduction, but there comes a point when we have to question what the continual stress of a stereotype, like the standard Duke girl, is doing.

At this point, Mile. Duke is unfortunately doing as much to encourage what her creators hate as she is to stop it. Rather than making the stylish, anorexic, promiscuous women she’s supposed to represent see the error of their ways and, in turn, change, she’s making the behavior equals appearance equation more concrete than ever. The more we talk about the stereotypical Duke girl, the more real she becomes, and the choice to be her or not to be her becomes black and white for female students. Am I going to carry a Kate Spade bag and rush a sorority, or am I going to avoid any fashionable items that might label me shallow?

Am I going to dress in away that will attract fraternity guys on weekend nights, or am I going to preach about internal beauty and roll my eyes at glitter and

black pants?

These dichotomies are unreasonable even if their origin is valid and emphasizing them with cliches only reinforces the “you are what you wear” fallacy. Perhaps, statistically, girls with frivolous taste in clothes are more socially conscious, more vain, more eager to party.

But assigning them these traits based on the purses they cany doesn’t seem to be making them any deeper.

Plus, it’s just not clever anymore.

So freshmen with Spade, Abercrombie, Fendi, Steve Madden and Vera Bradley logos on your stuff: Be strong. You aren’t worth the value of your handbag unless you want to be; you don’t have to hook up with three frat guys in one night unless you decide to; you don’t have to live on celery and Equal packets to make your designer clothes worth having. Maybe if you won’t, Mile. Duke will finally die.
