Bush to use new detention power � Amid concerns from civil liberties advocates and immigration lawyers, President George W. Bush will use expanded powers to

detain suspected legal immigrants indefinitely.

By PHILIP SHENON and ROBIN TONER New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The Bush administration Tuesday announced a major expansion ofits power to detain immigrants suspected of crimes, including new rules prompted by last week’s terrorist attacks that would allow legal immigrants to be detained indefinitely during a national emergency Citing the new powers, the Justice Department said it wouldcontinue to hold 75 immigrants arrested in connection with the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Previously, the department faced a 24hour deadline on whether to release detained immigrants or charge them with a crime or with violating the terms oftheir visa.

The new detention powers drew statements of concern from civil liberties advocates and immigration lawyers. While the pressure on the administration and Congress to act is immense, there is rising concern on the left and on the right that the rush to respond could erode basic constitutional freedoms.

The administration, which had the authority to rewrite the detention regulations on its own, is also expected within days to present Congress with a broad package of anti-terrorism legislation. Civil liberties and privacy groups are pleading with Congress not to act hastily.

In announcing the new detention,rules, Attorney General John Ashcroft said at a news conference that the government had “a responsibility to use every legal means at our disposal to prevent further terrorist activity by taking people into custody who have viSee DETENTION on page

A PAINTED OVER MIDWAY AIRLINES SIGN leaves a dreary reminder of the defunct airline in Terminal C of Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Midway suspended all operations last week.

Airline’s fold puts plans influx

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Much of the Duke community is scrambling to change its travel plans following Midway Airlines’ suspension of all future flight operations after last week’s terrorist attacks.

Based in the Triangle, Midway offered many cheaper direct flights—used regularly by students and faculty—out ofRaleigh-Durham International Airport. In place of its canceled flights, the now-bankrupt airline is providing full refunds to passengers. But many students who had tickets with Midway said the replacement flights they have found are more expensive and often not direct.

“Bottom line, it is just a big inconvenience, as far as time and money go,” said sophomore Nazy Jouei, who is now replacing her fall break tickets home. “The best

thing about Midway was that they had the best prices and direct flights—they offered the only direct flight to Fort Lauderdale. Now I have to use connecting flights, and the least expensive tickets I have found are $lOO more than Midway’s were.”

Sophomore Paul Conneely bought four round-trip tickets on Midway a week before the company declared bankruptcy Aug. 14. Conneely has rescheduled his

Thanksgiving tickets through Delta Air Lines but has decided not to return home for fall break.

“Just to even get new tickets is a big hassle,” he said.

“With that and safety concerns, I think it would be better just to make other plans.”

Midway decided to shut down entirely after Tuesday, “with the recognition that following the recent terrorist See

Officials doubt anyone survived collapses

By SUSAN SACHS

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK Little more than mammoth knots ofsteel and pulverized concrete remains where the World Trade Center once stood, and city officials acknowledged Tuesday that it was unlikely that anyone, even in the underground concourses, survived the towers’ collapse last week.

“We have to prepare people for the overwhelming reality that the chance ofrecovering anyone alive is very, very small,” Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said. “We still hope and pray, but the chance is very, very small.”

It was the bluntest assessment yet from the mayor about the fate of more than 5,000 people still listed as missing in the trade center attack.

A survivor was wrenched out of the rubble last Wednesday. Only bodies or parts of bodies have been recovered since.

One encouraging bit of news, at least for the criminal investigation of the terror attacks, came late Tuesday when a law enforcement official said that investigators may have picked up the “pinging” of a black box from one of the hijacked planes that hit the twin towers.

“They are picking up some pinging, but there is so much stuff on top of it, including iron work, that it will take some time for them to get to it,” said the official.

Giuliani’s grim appraisal of the search efforts foretold an impending shift in operations at the site ofthe devastation, away from the careful raking of debris in search of body parts to a more straightforward demolition job.

Seven days after the disaster, contractors clearing rubble

at the site said they had yet even to reach the area wherethe twin towers once stood, except occasionally with the aid of mechanical talons at the end ofhuge cranes.

ALPINE ATRIUM reopened last week after four weeks of renovations. The eatery has a new look physically and has also added more items to its menu.

Alpine tries to fill ‘grab-and-go’ niche

By MELISSA LENTZ The Chronicle

The Alpine Atrium, with a more efficient floor plan and new menu, reopened in early September to long lines and crowds of customers.

Owner Chris Sullivan said the Atrium has already experienced a significant increase in revenue but declined to say how much. He said the renovations made the eatery—which has occupied the mezzanine level of the Bryan Center for the last four years—more practical.

Sullivan recognized that the old Atrium space was not functional for the “grab-and-go” niche. “The former design could not handle the traffic levels in an efficient manner. We have utilized the new space, making available more menu options for the students,” he said.

In addition to smoothies and coffee, the new Atrium menu includes wraps, soups, vegetarian entrees and a variety of desserts. Other changes include the installation of a walk-in cooler, ice machine and new noise-minimizing blenders.

Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said he be-

lieves the Atrium’s renovation will encourage other vendors on campus to follow suit, “The Atrium has really hit a home run with the renovation. I expect that the level of competition created by these changes will only improve the quality of vendors’ services on cam-

pus,” he said.

Student response,too, has been positive since the Atrium’s reopening.

“I love the new Atrium. The desserts are really good.

There is nothing like cheesecake to procrastinate a full night of studying,” said sophomore Amanda Smith.

Along with increased food options and quality, students say the atmosphere has also played a large role in the eatery’s success. “The Atrium has a unique setup. It’s a great place to grab a sandwich, study or just hang out with friends. There are not many places like that on campus. The renovations have made it even better,” junior Steve Bartz said.

Plans are now underway for renovations to the Perk, which, along with Alpine Bagels and Brews, is also owned by Sullivan.

New genes may protect cancer cells •

Elderly, women underrepresented in trials

A study by Duke researchers found that women and the elderly remain significantly underrepresented in cardiovascular clinical trials. In a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, senior author and Associate Professor of Medicine Dr. Eric Peterson reported that between 1966 and 1990, cardiac patients aged 75 years or older only accounted for 2 percent of the patients enrolled in clinical trials. Women accounted for 20 percent representation in trials during the same time period.

Both figures rose in studies after 1990 to 9 percent and 25 percent, respectively, but these numbers still remain low considering that nationally, the elderly make up 40 percent of cardiac patients and women comprise 43 percent of patients. The researchers called for regulation of enrollment practices to ensure future studies would involve representative populations.

Short cervix may indicate premature birth

Researchers from the University of Alabama in Birmingham have linked premature birth with a shortened cervix early in pregnancy. This finding, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, may be used to help doctors identify women who are at risk of delivering prematurely and intervene earlier. Lead investigator Dr. John Owen said women whose cervixes measured less than about an inch at 16 to 18 weeks of pregnancy were three times more likely to give birth prematurely than those with normal-length cervixes. Infants who are born prematurely have an increased risk tor health problems, and these findings may prompt future research on procedural interventions.

Zoos will monitor for West Nile virus

Zoos across the country have agreed to track the West Nile virus after it was named responsible for the deaths of a flamingo, a pelican and a rare Humboldt penguin at the Philadelphia Zoo. Fearing the virus will spread, Dominic Travis, a veterinary epidemiologist at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, has formed groups of veterinarians and health officials who plan to monitor zoos. The only other zoo believed to have deaths linked to the virus is the Bronx Zoo in New York, where over 20 birds have died since the disease was first detected in 1999. Scientists fear the virus could be spread easily through mosquitos.

Brain scans may forecast memory loss

Healthy people over 60 on a course to develop memory problems show distinctive changes in their brains that cad be imaged with positive electron transmission scans. After following subjects for three years, researchers from the New York University medical school concluded that these scans could be used to predict who would develop mild cognitive impairment, which lead investigator Dr. Mony de Leon said is a precursor of Alzheimer’s disease. This finding was reported in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Researchers report these clouds of dust, which are made of fine particle of soil, provide spikes of nutrients in the water that unleash a chain of events that cause these algal blooms. Previously, scientists were not sure about the cause but believed water temperature could play a role.

Duke researchers have identified 10 genes that may protect oxygen-deprived, or hypoxic, cancer cells—allowing them to thrive even when exposed

to radiation and chemotherapy.

The results, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, suggest that researchers could exploit the genes to treat patients with cancer.

“What we have provided is a more complete and quantitative picture of the transcriptional response to hypoxia,” said lead investigator Dr. Greg Riggins, assistant professor of pathology and genetics. But he cautioned, “This work is in a very early stage. We are a gene discovery laboratory, and the potential applications of such work are many years down the road.”

The scientists examined 24,504 genes expressed in oxygen-deprived brain cancer cells and identified 10 of them that were strongly activated, presumably those that could protect cell growth in oxygen-deficient conditions.

Previously, researchers believed blood vessel generation, or angiogenesis, was regulated by a small group of genes, but the new findings suggest that there may be multiple ones at work.

“We observed a mixture of known and unknown genes, in particular three genes where only a complete or partial sequence was known, but no known function,” Riggins said. “We also observed several genes that were known for their role in cancer or other diseases, but had not been known to be induced by hypoxia In order to grow, tumors depend on receiving oxygen from the blood supply.

When this blood supply is cut off, tumors are starved of oxygen and consequently shrink or do not grow beyond a small size. Most solid tumors develop hypoxic regions in inaccessible areas, but other tumors continue to thrive in this situation by altering gene expression to induce angiogenesis. Radiation and chemotherapy are ineffective in treating these hypoxic sites.

Riggins and Anita Lai, a postdoctoral fellow in pathology, will continue to

MARK DEWHIRST, professor of radiation oncology, pathology and biomedical engineering, looks at a protein that fluoresces under low oxygen. He collaborated with a team of Duke researchers who identified 10 genes that may protect cancer cells from oxygen-deprived conditions. investigate the roles of these newly identified genes, which may clarify their mechanism for protecting tumors.

For example, one of the observed genes is a member of a family of proteins known to trigger blood vessel growth, which the researchers suspect may be secreted to stabilize the blood supply in response to hypoxia.

Another gene called carbonic anhydrase may be involved in regulating the pH of tumors.

Furthermore, there are still questions about how these genes originated.

Some believe genes may be mutations of normal-functioning genes. “Tumor cells may have mutations in some of the hypoxia-responsive genes so that those

genes are either turned on all of the time, or they may not respond to a hypoxia stimulus,” said research collaborator Mark Dewhirst, a professor of radiation oncology, pathology and biomedical engineering.

However, researchers express skepticism about the finding’s immediate use in treating patients. “It is not likely that these discoveries will change treatment of patients with cancer in the near future. “We will have to learn a lot more about what they do,” Dewhirst said.

“Once that is found, then these genes could become targets for tumorspecific therapy in the future, but that is speculation, at best.”

Dust settles in N.Y. as safety questions arise The Environmental Protection Agency says dust is a problem for some workers but their risk is small

By ANDREW REVKIN

ew York Tunes News Service

NEW YORK —As thousands of workers streamed back into Lower Manhattan Monday for the first time since the terrorist attacks, federal officials said they faced no significant health risk.

Low levels of asbestos were detected in some dust and debris close to the wreckage of the World Trade Center, the officials said, but there was no evidence of danger, except to search crews moving the rubble.

“We haven t found anything that is alarming to us, said Mary Mears, a spokesperson for the Environmental Protection Agency.

As an extra precaution, officials recommended that businesses in the area clean the filters on air conditioners and use vacuum cleaners equipped with filters for fine particles those labeled HEPA to avoid scattering any haz-

ardous dust.

Officials recommended similar precautions for apartment dwellers, saying they should use vacuums with particle filters, mop floors and use wet cloths to dust, and wash clothing soiled by the ash and dust separately from other laundry.

Overall, though, officials said, the only significant health risk remained near the destruction. Workers there should wear masks and protective gear and clean their shoes before heading home, they said.

Some officials expressed frustration because many of the workers—most of them hard-bitten construction workers— were ignoring their recommendations.

“In the early hours of a rescue, the urgency ofthese efforts leads people to forget their own health and safety,” said Dr. Neal Cohen, New York City’s health commissioner. The city will add mare safety officials to its teams this week, he said, to make sure that more searchers wear protective attire.

Tina Kreisher, a spokesperson for the EPA, said that ample gear was available at the attack site but that because of the heat and stress, workers commonly refused it.

“There are small pockets of asbestos,” Kreisher said. “The concern is there—not for the city, not for residents, but definitely for these workers.” Many workers may be there for months, she said, Federal officials said they would set up at the site equipment able to clean 1,500 workers twice a day.

Agency officials and independent experts tried to quell rumors about other hazards, including the possibility that the fires might have turned freon from air conditioners into a poisonous gas called phosgene, The chemical reaction that generates phosgene is possible in extremely hot flames, but not in fires like those still burning. Any gas generated by the initial inferno has dissipated, officials said.

Triangle considers traffic enforcement cameras Officials debate whether the cameras would improve safety or just invade people’s privacy

By MEG LAWSON The Chronicle Frowning for the camera may become a routine part of life for Triangle residents, as local city govern-

ments discuss adopting intersection cameras that take

pictures ofvehicles as they run red lights.

The trend toward adopting these controversial cameras has swept the country in recent years, with cities

such as Charlotte and San Diego joining the movement. Proponents say the cameras improve driver and pedestrian safety, but opponents argue they invade privacy and are profit-making tools for the private companies running them.

The North Carolina Legislature approved a measure June 25 that would allow cities in the Triangle to install the cameras as soon as their city councils give their approval.

In Charlotte, the cameras are triggered by any vehicle that rolls over a stop bar three-tenths of a second or more after the light has turned red. The owner of the vehicle is then sent a citation with the pictures of the violation and ordered to pay a $5O fine. The owner may forward the ticket to another person, if the owner was not driving the vehicle at the time of the violation.

The North Carolina programs are unlike others around the country because points are not assessed on the driver’s license or for insurance purposes.

Durham Mayor Nick Tennyson said that although the Durham City Council has not yet considered a measure to install the cameras, he hopes that when one is considered, it will be approved.

“I believe that [the cameras] actually enhance public safety at no meaningful risk,” he said.

Jimmie Beckon, Raleigh transportation director, said his department is currently studying the implications of possible camera locations in Raleigh.

“There’s other research around the country that says they are effective,” he said.

In most cities, the cameras are installed and main-

tained by private companies who, in turn, receive money from each citation—a practice that has some officials concerned.

Chapel Hill Town Council member Kevin Foy does not want a private company controlling the program.

“My problem with it is that the profit motive shouldn’t be the criterion on which we implement a public safety measure,” Foy said. “If red light cameras are a good idea, then the town should operate them.”

But Tennyson said he was more concerned with public safety than making money. “I don’t view this as a money-making operation,” he said. “I hope it has declining revenues.”

Foy said he also worries about privacy invasion. “I don’t particularly like the idea of government keeping

an electronic eye on us,” he said. “[But] if we have an intersection that we can cut down on the number of fatal accidents, then maybe it’s a good trade-off” In the three years since the inception of the Charlotte SafeLight program, crashes on streets where the cameras are used have been reduced by 24 percent. A recent survey by SafeLight showed that while 84 percent of those questioned believe the SafeLight program is beneficial to the community, slightly fewer—-76 percent—support it.

Floyd McKissick, a Durham City Council member, said he would like to see the cameras installed in Durham in the next year.

“I hope it will be implemented soon, and the program will see positive results,” he said.

Youthful DSG starts new term � Duke Student Government’s 50 Legislators, 39 of whom are newcomers to the organization, say they are enthusiastic about the new year.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

The Freeman Center for Jewish Life was filled with both excitement and apprehension Saturday, as Duke Student Government ushered in new legislators during its annual all-day retreat.

C.J. Walsh, calling for a “year of implementation,” charged the 2001-2002 legislative body to prepare for what the president considers a critical period for both the organization and the University.

Walsh, a senior, said he expects DSG to lead the way in bringing into effect the campus-wide changes that the administration and previous DSG bodies have enacted in the past few years.

Walsh acknowledged, however, that the student organization must do so with one of the most inexperienced and youngest groups of legislators in the SAFE FLYERS adorn the walls of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center, as SAFE signs decorate places on campus where the program’s participants reside.

Program helps students feel ‘SAFE’

LGBT staff remains pleased with program, despite vandalism

By MATT BRADLEY The Chronicle

A semester after the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life kicked off its “SAFE on

Campus” program, some students and administrators say the program has started to help Duke students feel more comfortable about sexuality.

Since last January SAFE—Students, Administrators and Faculty for Equality—has trained about 250 students, faculty and staff to mediate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues, thereby creating 250 “SAFE havens” on campus.

“I think regardless of how many people actually approach a person with a SAFE sign, the fact that University faculty and students recognize the symbol and recognize the number of SAFE spaces throughout the campus is crucial in and of itself,” said LGBT Center Director Karen Krahulik.

The program, however, may have already run into some friction. Major Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department said that a few SAFE signs were stolen from the Medical Center last summer. The police have yet to find the signs, but Kerry Poynter, LGBT Center program director, said he is taking it all in stride.

“At other schools, things like that happened as well,” he said. “Signs were stolen, defaced, notes left under people’s doors. That’s one of the things that I tell people during the training—there are people who don’t like that you’re affirming and'supportive.”

Nevertheless, Poynter says the program has improved the social climate on campus by increasing the visibility of homosexual acceptance. Poynter says the stickers are important in creating healthy dialogue about LGBT issues.

body’s history.

Of the 50 legislators either elected by the student body or appointed by the executive committee, 39 are newcomers: 18 freshmen, 13 sophomores, seven juniors and one senior.

Thirty-eight of the legislators are either freshmen or sophomores and there are only three experienced seniors in the legislature.

“It is a manifestation of the new face of DSG,” said Walsh, who was elected in March, having never served in the organization.

Their inexperience, has not stunted new legislators’ enthusiasm.

“I am looking forward to it,” said Kevin Williams, a junior new to DSG. Williams was the executive vice president of the Black Student Alliance last year, and said that he wanted to now take on broader campus issues.

“The opportunity to get substantial experience in making policy at Duke is really appealing to me,” said Aneil Lala, the top vote-getter from East Campus.

The reason for the sudden turnover of legislators

remains unclear, but some pointed to Walsh’s victory a year ago as inspiration for others to run.

Congress to allocate billions to airline industry

By KAREN MASTERSON and JULIE MASON The Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON Lawmakers say they intend to work quickly on a bailout package for the airline industry, although it’s unlikely to include everything the industry wants and will not be

completed this week.

Airline executives visited Capitol Hill Tuesday to plea for $24 billion in federal help for their industry, and to answer questions from lawmakers.

Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said the administration will send a legislative package to Capitol Hill, based largely on the industry’s request.

Congress is working on its own solution.

“There’s no doubt they are suffering,” Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle,

D-S.D., said of the airlines. “We can put

them back in a position of strength. We have no specifics today. But the work to put that together begins today.”

The airline industry was directly damaged by the Sept 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, when hijackers crashed commercial planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.

Also in Washington, a congressional source said Boeing is planning to lay off 20 to 30 percent of its commercial airline work force—roughly 31,000 people—as a result ofthe terrorists attacks.

The Bush administration has asked Congress to act quickly on an airline bailout bill, an economic stimulus package and anti-terrorism measures.

But because of the attack, the Feder-

al Aviation Administration temporarily grounded all airplanes, crippling the industry’s finances. Lawmakers from both parties agreed to give the airlines package top priority.

“It’s not a bailout, in my opinion,” said House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas. “It’s paying for what the government is responsible for, in asking the airlines to be grounded at a time their economic situation was already in jeopardy. We’re also asking them to take extra security measures; the government should pay them for that.”

Even though airports have reopened—with the exception of Ronald Reagan National Airport—airplanes are only half full. And industry officials say they are losing $250 million to $3OO million a day.

Congress is scheduled to formally return Thursday from a four-day break in observance of Rosh Hashana. House Republican leaders said they intend to take up a bailout plan as soon it’s ready,

perhaps Thursday or Friday.

But Daschle said the Senate will likely have to wait until next week because many members will travel to New York Thursday to tour the damage.

Lawmakers seemed open to the industry’s request for roughly $l2 billion in loan guarantees and $5 billion in direct aid—which is twice the aid money they

asked for last week, and that House members tried to pass Saturday morning.

However, a request by the airlines to

suspend approximately $7.5 billion in

SAFE from page 6 “More and more often, students are coming out of high school already out [of the closet],” Poynter said. “They’re going to see this sign on the [resident advisor’s] door and [the RAs will] give resources and responses to the new student.”

Poynter uses a concept called Identity Development Theory to educate SAFE participants on evaluating a gay student or faculty member’s personal development. Learning the theory helps SAFE members evaluate what sexual identity stage a homosexual person is in—and how comfortable a person is with himself or his sexuality.

“It gets them to think about a lot of different issues,” Poynter said.

Jessica Rosario, a sophomore, said that the “SAFE on Campus” program has made her feel more comfortable interacting with students and teachers, especially as a gay student on campus.

“I actually had a grad student who was an assistant in one of my classes, and she proudly sported a SAFE sticker on her backpack, and I knew that I could talk to her without fear of prejudice or judgment,” Rosario said.

Besides the level ofcomfort SAFE is designed to provide homosexual students, LGBT administrators hope the program also breaks down barriers.

“I think that heterosexual people are the individuals on campus who have the real power to create institutional change. They won’t be questioned or second guessed,” Poynter said.“Anywhere, not just Duke, a heterosexual person is going to have more leverage because they area’t necessarily personally invested in the issues.”

immigrants simply for lack of a country willing to take them.

Human rights groups have long criticized indefinite-detention laws in other countries, noting that they are often used by repressive governments to lock up dissidents for months or years under the guise of “emergency” conditions.

Last week, the Justice Department announced that it would ask Congress for broad new surveillance authority to place wiretaps on phones and computers and a variety ofother powers to fight terrorism.

Ashcroft has asked Congress to act in a

ior fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations, said. “If we do it carefully, we can find an acceptable balance. If we rush into it, we will do things that deprive people oftheir liberty without improving security.”

Halperin was one of the organizers of a coalition of groups, as varied as the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans for Tax Reform, that met for the first time Friday. That coalition informally known as the In Defense of Freedom Coalition—has scheduled a news conference for Thursday to declare its concerns. At the moment, many of these groups are demanding that the administration’s proposals be the subject of open debate and orderly consideration.

Grover Norquist, the influential conservative strategist who heads Americans for Tax Reform, said, “I’ve heard some politicians say we need to pass this

this week—that’s code for, if anybody read it, it wouldn’t pass,” Jerry Berman, executive director of the Center for Democracy and Technology, another member of the new coalition, said, “We’ve had a history of racing to judgment and passing inappropriate and wrongheaded and ultimately counterproductive laws.

“Before you pass legislation in this area, you need to know what happened,” he added. “And I have not yet found a story or a statement by any official that says the failure here was caused by restrictions on electronic surveillance.”

But Ronald A. Klain, who served in the Clinton White House and Justice Department, argued that “it’s inevitable at times like this that the pent-up agenda oflaw enforcement gets put forward.” He added, “I think there is nothing wrong and probably something right about Congress acting on these matters relatively quickly.” Moreover, Klain said, the public might well be ready to recalibrate the balance between civil liberties and security. “The Constitution is not a suicide pact,” he said. Klain argued that Congress needed, however, to ensure that whatever tradeoff was made actually resulted in a safer society.

Pulling Together in the Face of Terror: An Invitation

to

the Duke Community

As members of the Duke University community, we, in unity with others around the world, are experiencing shock, sorrow, and anger at the cruel acts of terrorism committed on September 11th. We grieve for those who were murdered, injured, and traumatized, and for all the families, friends, and loved ones whose lives have been shattered. No one in this country remains unaffected by the horrific events in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. They remind us of our vulnerability, a new and frightening lesson for many of us who have never experienced the insecurity people face in some parts of the world.

There are no easy solutions in defending ourselves against terrorism. The days and months ahead will test the wisdom of our leaders and the integrity and strength of our democracy. But they will also test our individual humanity and our community closer to home. Recognizing this, we affirm our commitment: To seek tangible ways of helping the victims of this terrible attack, by donating blood, money, and other resources, and by comforting grieving

attacks demand for air transportation is expected to decline sharply,” according to the company’s website. 'lhe site also gives ticket-holders directions and recommendations for retrieving refunds and rescheduling flights.

Teachers who commute to the University weekly via Midway had to make other arrangements quickly this week, and are continuing to deal with the fallout of the airline’s end.

Susan Tifft, a Patterson professor of the practice of public policy, travels between New York City and Durham each week to teach her Monday and Tuesday seminars. Until last week, Tifft used Midway’s directflight between the cities, buying her tickets about six weeks in advance. Now, Tifft must replace the tickets she had bought through fall break.

“The prices are looking to be about the same—the problem is that most of the other carriers’ flights are not direct, like Midway’s were,” Tifft said.

Because the least expensive ticket available for this week cost $9OO, Tifft made alternate arrangements—taking the subway to Penn Station, taking Amtrak to the Baltimore-Washington International Airport, taking a Southwest Air-

lines flight to RDU and finally using a car service to get to Duke.

Uncertain about the timing ofthis sequence, particularly with the recent airport security increases, Tifil had made arrangements for two students to lead her seminars, although she did arrive in town on time.

Like Tifft, Knight Professor of the Practice of Public Policy William Raspberry took weekly direct Midway flights between RDU and Reagan National Airport, which has since been shut down, leaving Raspberry, who drove down to the University this Sunday, with a double dilemma.

“Besides the fact that National has shut down—perhaps indefinitely—the

airline I used went belly-up,” he said. “So even if National were not closed, I would still be dealing with making new arrangements right now.”

Despite the complications caused by Midway’s closing, Raspberry is quick to put travel problems in perspective after last week’s casualties.

“It’s interesting, isn’t it, that Americans seem to be taking these inconveniences very much in stride,” Raspberry said. “My inconvenience is so slight, I feel embarrassed even complaining about it.”

To strive, in everything we say or do, to uphold the ideals of democracy and of our common humanity, including human rights, freedom, the rule of law, and concern for the vulnerable; •

To appreciate our human diversity and work to build a community of civility, mutual respect, and mutual understanding.

We call on all members of the Duke community to join us in these commitments.

We cannot undo the pain and horror of September 11, but we can help shape its moral legacy.

Freshman writes Ruins’ magnitude becomes clearer Beowulf musical SEARCH from page 2 The city’s fire commissioner, Thomas Von Essen, said the search and rescue operation at the scene had not yet changed. Then he added, “But it will, we believe, in a few days, if we continue to find what we’re finding when we penetrate.”

Neither he nor the mayor would say what it is that rescuers are or are not finding when they do penetrate the indescribably dank and dark crevices of the debris.

“I think when we get closer to that,” the mayor said, “we’ll explain that.”

At the trade center site —a 16-acre moonscape of twisted steel, gutted buildings and pyramids of crushed concrete—the atmosphere already seemed different as the giant metal claws of heavy demolition equipment began attacking the mounds of debris.

Fresh reinforcements in crisp navy blue uniforms replaced the soot-coated police officers who, just a day or two ago, sagged into abandoned chairs scattered on the edges of the rubble. The gray dust that coated the sidewalks has been swept and hosed away.

The frenzied activity of the early days, sometimes fueled by sheer will and hope, has become a determined but systematic routine. Most of the bucket brigades, weary men who stood shoulder to shoulder passing five-gallon pails of debris out of the smoldering piles of wreckage, have disbanded. Their white and orange buckets have been stacked along the perimeter P

FRESHMEN from page 1 Harrington was attracted to the University’s marine lab program, which offers a summer course about sea turtles. She sees Duke’s Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C., as a definite part of her future here and hopes to study biology further.

Not all students had to travel great distances to explore their interests. In her hometown in Kansas, Caitlin Robinson turned heads in another area of science—metalsmithing. During her sophomore year, Robinson took a metalsmithing elective course. Three years later, she is nationally recognized in the craft with work in national touring shows and has had pieces exhibited in the Corcoran Gallery, the largest non-federal museum in Washington DC. Her interest in the arts came at a young age from her grandmother, an art teacher. When she began working with metal, her interest flourished. “I tried it out of curiosity and fell in love with it,” Robinson said. “Once you find the right medium you love working with it. You getto design, form, solder, stain, finish and polish. You do it yourself every step of the way.”

One particular piece, a silver box, has earned Robinson much acclaim. This piece, entered in the jewelry category, won the National Gold Award, given to one of the 10 best pieces in nation and the National Scholastic Silver Award, given to the top 25 pieces in the nation.

Although an interesting and fun hobby, Robinson admits that metalsmithing can be expensive. She has sold a fair number of pieces, but admits it is sometimes hard to part with pieces—she has not completed very many and finds herself becoming sentimentally attached to something she has worked on for so long.

While a high school metalsmith might be rare to find, a high school student who composes musicals is even rarer. Eric Abrams, however, wrote a musical based on Beowulf as part of his 10th grade English project. “The assignment was to write a song, but my friend and I took it too far and decided to write a musical,” Abrams said. “It was just a good friend and me having a good time and just being goofy. My parents thought we were just goofing off at my friends house and I plopped the finished product on their bed and they were amazed.”

The piece consisted of 15 songs adapting the epic poem to lyrics set to an original score. He recorded the songs, which comprised a 25-page libretto. Abrams and his friend received an “A” in the class for their work which used all original text and added new characters who did not appear in the standard version of Beowulf.

“It took us 10 days to do it and we didn’t go to sleep the night before,” he said. ‘We even rode our bikes to Kinko’s to make the copies because we couldn’t drive yet.” &

of the devastation.

Even the fires that had burned beneath rubble piles were spent. Most of the smoke and dust that had shrouded the area with a stinging pall has all but dissipated, laying bare the trade center’s deformed remains.

What workers have found has amazed and appalled them: skyscrapers built of several millions of cubic yards of concrete seemed to have ground themselves

into dust.

Most ofwhat they have seen on the exposed layers of debris has been pieces of the aluminum face of the twin towers, and mangled steel. They have not seen many chunks of concrete.

The scene underground apparently is just as devastating.

Transit officials said they estimated that 1,000 feet of the No. 1 subway line tunnel beneath the World Trade Center, including the Cortlandt Street station, had collapsed.

“We see debris floor to ceiling, wall to wall,” said A1 O’Leary, the chief spokesperson for New York City Transit.

The Rector Street Station on the No. 1 line was also damaged, officials said, but is not structurally unsoun

They said the Cortlandt Street station on the N and R line also was severely damaged and has structural problems. Although falling steel beams appeared to have pierced tunnels at that station, they predicted that repairs could be completed on the line in a few weeks.

Von Essen, in the morning briefing, also gave a grim view of what the levels below the trade center towers might look like, saying fire fighters have not been able to penetrate fully to the underground shopping concourse.

“We’re finding in some areas where there might be a void, the levels of heat is so much that no one would have been able,to survive,” he said. “I just don’t want to say yet that we’ve exhausted all of our abilities to reach every area that we think might be possible. So I just need a little bit more time.”

On the surface, the street-level plaza area that once covered part of that concourse between the twin towers is now a gaping hole. The site has been divided into four rough quadrants and assigned to different contractors and heavy equipment operators. The situation at each one was different Tuesday.

At the western edge ofthe site, crews finally managed to clear West Street of debris from a collapsed pedestrian bridge, allowing bigger cranes and excavators to be brought closer to the pile of compacted wreckage that once was 2 World Trade Center.

But tremendous mounds ofrubble, mainly from the destroyed Marriott Hotel, still separate workers from the base of the downed tower, the southernmost ofthe two 110-story twin towers that were pierced by hijacked airliners last week.

The rubble stands as high as a six-story building, said Peter Marchetto, president ofBovis Lend Lease, a New York City construction company that has been assigned the southwest quadrant ofthe site.

“The buildings came down and spread out to West Street and in every direction,” he said.

“To get to the towers you now have to work your way in. That’s what everybody has been trying to do, to work their way in.”

His crews are still 100 feet away from the tower, but can now use a new wave of heavy equipment, including cranes that can reach across the debris and try to pick out the gnarled masses of steel.

Clearing away the debris to get to the physical foundations of the southern tower could take up to two

months, Marchetto said.

At the northwest corner, three other construction companies are working to clear the damaged or destroyed buildings that stand in the way of access to parts of 1 World Trade Center, the northernmost tower.

parents either cannot afford child care or child care may not be available.

The effects of giving 6 to 13 year old children the responsibility for caring for themselves are widely debated. Some studies show “latchkeys” develop many positive characteristics, such as independence, resourcefulness, and a sense of responsibility. They also suggest that this responsibility helps children mature faster and take care of themselves earlier.

Other studies indicate that loneliness and depression are likely to develop in those left on their own for extended periods of time.

What To Consider

•

Whether or not your own child is ready to stay alone depends on a variety of factors. Because maturity rates vary, some children are better equipped than their peers to take care of themselves.

Parents should also consider the relative safety of the neighborhood and what types of help would be available to a child in the event of minor as well as major emergencies. Investigate community resources for latchkey children, such as hotlines, classes and neighborhood “Safe House” programs.

Prepare children for successful taking care of themselves by practicing emergency procedures. Teach them how to prepare simple snacks and clean-up after themselves and set a schedule for homework or chores. Encourage problem-solving by asking them to propose solutions to situations which may arise.

To memorize their name and address, including city and state.

To memorize their phone number, including area code.

To use both push button and dial telephones to make emergency, local and long distance calls and to reach the operator.

To check in with you or a neighbor immediately after arriving home.

To never go into your home if a door is ajar or a window is broken.

□ 10. I feel proud of the way I can take care of myself.

Things about being on my own

/

like:

That’if they feel they’re being followed, either on foot or by a car, to run to the nearest public place, neighbor or “Safe House’.

To tell you if anyone asks them keep a secret, offer them gifts or money or asks take their picture.

•

To always tell you if something happened while they were away from you that made them feel uncomfortable in any way.

Things about being on my own I dislike:

Above all, help them voice their concerns and let your child know that alternative arrangements can be made if self-care is not working.

THE UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN GETS READY of Public Affairs of this year’s United Way campaign at Duke University are gearing up for an even larger campaign than last year’s, which passed the $1 million mark for the first time. Campaign Co-chairpeople Rafael Rodriguez (Office of Information Technology), Deborah Roth (Duke Clinical Research Institute), Richard White (Sarah Duke B. Gardens) have set the goal for 2001 at $1,123,000, a 3.5 percent increase over 2000.

Without further ado, however, the campaign leaders want to thank all donors who gave last year, especially those who led the way with gifts of more than $5OO

by Susan Kauffman, Assistant to the Senior Vice President

Organizers

“At a time when the needs of

our local community are greater than ever, we’re par-

ticularly grateful to leadership Ava and Travis Ward donors who helped the Duke campaign have a significant impact on the lives of all of us who benefit from United Way services,” Roth said.

Duke donations to the Triangle United Way fund 90 agencies throughout the region. Nearly every aspect of community life including daycare, pre- and after-school education, disaster relief, homelessness, literacy, and substance -

abuse prevention programs involves one of these agencies. Those area organizations touched an estimated 300,000 people last year. Employees can find out more about the work from staff of local United Way agencies -

Because the United Way is also about fun, Duke will continue a popular practice started in recent years. Anyone who returns a pledge card, whether or not they make a donation, will become eligible for donated prizes, including airline tickets, computers, and vacation time. Winners will be posted in Dialogue, Inside DUMC, and on the Duke United Way web site.

The faces of Duke resonate the message of the United Way Duke Partnership and its member agencies. Operating Room Nurse Ava Ward uses the Association for Retarded Citizens or the ARC as a care-provider for her son Travis. Supporting United Way agencies through gifts is how Robert Hoover, Business Manager of Pathology, Robert Hoover keeps much needed funds where they can do the most good. Please remember to make your pledge during this year’s campaign; October 1 through October 19. Anyone interested in volunteering or who wants more information can email Diane Lomax, Duke’s United Way

coordinator, at

diane.lomax@duke.edu.

These

caregivers are available for care of children who are mildly ill but do not need medical supervision. They can come to your home for an entire morning or afternoon if listed for AM or AFT, or for a full workday. These caregivers are not medically trained and will follow your instructions on care. Their rates vary from $2O to $4O or more per day. As always, the responsibility for screening lies with parents and caregivers.

References for most of these caregivers are listed in the first part of this directory.

Staff and Family Programs recommends that you meet the caregiver(s) before hiring her or him and discuss hours, fees, transportation, and your child’s needs. You cannot predict on what day your child might be sick, but you can use these caregivers for regular care and get to know them before you have an urgent need.

HELP MAKE THE Since July 2000, Duke employees who care for older loved ones have had a valuable resource.

The Duke Elder Care Consultation Service, a partnership with Human Resources’ Staff and Family Programs is confidential and available to all Duke staff and faculty members without a referral. There is no charge for the service.

Lisa Gwyther, Director of the Duke Aging Center’s Family Support Program, and Edna Ballard are social workers who guide employees throughout the often-complex responsibilities of elder care. Lisa and Edna are available by phone, email or for a face to face consultation with Duke staff and faculty and their family members. There are multiple resources available and they can assist with evaluation of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, in-home care, websites, and even to sources for further assessment or testing done to help families and caregivers make the very best choices for their individual situation. They can also refer family members who might be caregivers themselves to free support groups. In addition, the Center can assist with long distance referrals for Duke staff and faculty caring for family members not in the immediate area.

Offices are centrally located in Duke South Blue Zone. To talk with Lisa Gwyther, feel free to contact her via phone or email at: 660-7510 or lpg@geri.duke.edu.

When the teams return, they are likely to have the regular officials back.

NFL sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the executive committee of the NFL Referees Association was voting by e-mail on a proposal by the league that would end the lockout that lasted through the final game of preseason and the first game of the regular season. If it is approved by noon EDT Wednesday, the regular officials will be back for Sunday’s games.

week of January.

And while it may still reduce the number of playoff teams from 12 to eight, commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Tuesday that full playoffs are still a possibility.

Tagliabue said the league’s competition committee had voted unanimously to keep the 16-game format, switching the games called off last weekend to the weekend of Jan. 5-7, when wild-card games had been scheduled.

But he said the committee is still looking at ways to keep the normal complement of 12 playoff teams rather than eight. That would mean three division winners and three wild-card teams in each conference would make the playoffs rather than the three winners and just one wild card.

“This would be the best of both worlds. If they can keep the 16-game schedule and the six wild cards, then

everybody’s happy. It’s just back to business,” said coach Mike Sherman of Green Bay, one of many teams whose playoff chances would be hurt badly if the NFL cut back on wild cards.

“I’ll be curious to see what follows after this,” added Andy Reid of Philadelphia, another team that might be affected. “I’d hate to disrupt the playoffs in that situation.... I’m sure

College football’s stadiums tighten security this week The Associated Press

The rah-rah partyers who fill college football’s enormous stadiums are in for big changes.

Coolers and picnic baskets, even coats and blankets, will be searched or banned altogether, turning quick trips through turnstiles into long waits at security checkpoints for crowds as large as the more than 100,000 expected at Michigan.

“We’re trying to make people understand that things are going to be a little different,” Mississippi State

Associate Athletic Director Duncan McKenzie said.

Fans attending the Bulldogs’ game when majof college football resumes Thursday will be the first to notice the difference. Everyone else will find out later in the week.

Items such as video cameras, cans or glass bottles, coolers, umbrellas, noisemakers and purses will hold fans up at some games.

In Ann Arbor, Mich., planes won’t be allowed to fly over the Wolverines’ stadium Saturday.

There will be differences on the field, too, including teams wearing US. flags on helmets.

All of last week’s Division I-A football games were postponed or canceled because of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Major League Baseball resumed Monday night and the NFL returns Sunday, both under much tighter security.

“You watched the emotion that Major League Baseball brought back to the country a little bit,” said Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, whose Buckeyes play UCLA at the Rose Bowl Saturday. “We have the good fortune at Ohio State to bring some more emotion and to serve as an energy source for our country.

“What venue would you rather have it be in than before 90,000 or 100,000 and on national TV? I think it’s going to be an exciting thing and away we can do some good by the way we play.”

Football stadiums dwarf arenas used in the NHL (where the biggest in the United States is Chicago’s 20,500-seat United Center) and the NBA (the Spurs play before up to a league-high 34,215

at the Alamodome).

Unlike in the NFL, there won’t be a standard set of security measures at college games.

“With 976 different institutions, it is difficult to make policies that are applicable to the broad membership,” NCAA spokesman Wally Renfro said.

At Michigan Stadium —with a capacity of 107,501, the largest site of a game Saturday—the Wolverines will have U.S. flags stitched on their uniforms when

they face Western Michigan. American flags will replace Big Ten banners along the stadium’s rim.

“Our fans should expect some possible delays, especially if they continue to come in at the last minute,” said Bill Bess, Michigan’s director of public safety. “We would like fans to get in the stadium sooner than they have in the past.”

The Federal Aviation Administration granted Michigan’s request Tuesday to bar flights within a 1-mileradius of the stadium and up to an altitude of 3,000 feet. That also covers blimps.

Other schools, including Penn State and Wisconsin, asked the FAA to keep airplanes from flying near stadiums during games.

At Notre Dame, which averaged more than 80,000 fans last year, the university is consulting with the FBI and an expert in emergency planning.

The school has canceled its Friday stadium tours on football weekends.

“Our goal is to continue to make the game-day experience fan-friendly,” Nebraska’s Athletic Director Bill Byrne said. “But we must all begin to operate under a higher level of securi-

ty awareness.”

Ohio State running back Jonathan Wells said players must trust that university administrators and officials have weighed and considered all the possibilities.

“Once we get out there and get together as a team, we’ll be fine. I don’t think you can be worried about any problems that can happen at the stadium,” Wells said. “You have to go out there and be focused on the task at hand, and that’s beating UCLA.” At an empty Husky Stadium, where No. 13 Washington plays Idaho Saturday and the NFL’s Seahawks play the Eagles on Sunday, drummers in the school’s marching band banged

their instruments as if calling for a return to normalcy.

“I expect to see tightened security,”

Washington sophomore drummer John Bailey said. “But I’m not afraid to go back into the stadium.”

SALT LAKE CITY and its inhabitants prepare for this winter’s Olympic Games

Salt Lake City residents react to terrorist threat at Olympics

By PATTY HENETZ The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY Stephen Pace never liked the idea of bringing the Olympics here. Now, with his home a scant mile from where the medals plaza will be, he fears for his life.

If terrorists are looking to make another global statement, what better place than the middle of the Winter Games next February?

“Putting 100,000-plus people and 10,000-plus reporters there every night is lunacy” Pace, a health industry consultant, said. “They are saying it’s worth risking everybody’s life for. The motto ought to be: Don’t do anything in downtown Salt Lake they wouldn’t do in downtown Tel Aviv.’”

Pace said the International Olympic Committee should consider putting offthe games for a year.

Pace, perhaps the loudest local opponent of the Salt Lake Games, may find more people who think the same way since the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.

While lOC officials stoutly declare the games will go on, more people are now asking: What if?

The lOC said Tuesday that all aspects of security will be reviewed in the wake of the terrorist attacks. But it said a “catastrophe scenario” of an airliner crashing into the opening ceremony has been part of security planning since the 1972 Munich massacre.

“In fact, our scenario was, and is, a plane crashing in the midst of the opening ceremony, full of people, full of

fuel, broadcast live worldwide on television,” lOC director general Francois Garrard said.

Salt Lake Organizing Committee chief Mitt Romney will report to the lOC Thursday on the latest plans for keeping the Feb. 8-24 Olympics safe.

In the meantime, Congress has bolstered the $2OO million security plan with an additional $12.7 million. Lawmakers also are moving to repeal legislation limiting the use of military personnel in Olympic operations.

At the Triad Center, a complex of shops, restaurants, small businesses and offices flanking the medals plaza, Robert O’Keefe said he is worried about the concentration of international visitors during the games, and how that might be attractive to terrorists.

“What better place to have a huge effect?” O’Keefe, an Australian and owner of Cardio Express, a fitness center, said.

“The terrorists will be looking to strike back. The more countries they can involve, the more innocent people they can kill, the more attractive the target. Any person who supports this war on terrorism is a new target.”

Allan Liu, a supervisor at the Wyndham Hotel, at the medals plaza’s edge, thinks otherwise.

“I definitely want to see the games go on,” Liu said. “It would be a shame if the terrorists spoiled the athletes’ time.”

Across the plaza, Adam Vester, night manager ofthe City Creek Inn, looked out the window at the empty parking lot that will become the plaza and shrugged: “Security will be so stepped up. Being closer to the medals plaza will make it more secure than being far away.”

In the next breath, he seemed to change his mind. “I can see them leaving a car bomb here big enough to blow up the

plaza,” he said.

Millions of dollars or a college degree? It’s a no-brainer Let me ask you a question.

Say that I tell you about someone who didn’t graduate from college. He enrolled at Lafayette in 1942, and after only two years ofschooling, he left college without a degree—to attend dental school, which in those days didn’t require a bachelor’s degree for admission. Low on money, this 19-year-old was simply looking to start his dental practice instead of working side jobs just to make ends meet.

No brainer, right? A hard-working guy who sets goals and aims to achieve them. He didn’t need a college degree, so he didn’t get one. My grandfather would go on to graduate from dental school and be a successful orthodontist. Without a college degree.

graduating from college, while others have fresh memories of their high school prom. Regardless, these are kids who have accomplished their collective dream of becoming NBA players.

The fact is that a pro sports career doesn’t require a college degree. So why do we ridicule those who choose to leave college early, or skip it altogether?

The answer lies in the media coverage, which lends a bit more interest to the multi-million dollar NCAA basketball and football businesses than it does, say, collegiate baseball or golf.

How many 18-year-olds are there playing minor league baseball? These kids aren’t in college. Where’s the outcry?

Where’s the story about the Twins’ first overall pick, 18-year-old Joe Mauer, and what he’s going to do if his arm gives out? on The PGA Tour is considering implerules that would force players to menting view be at least 18-years-old. The reason?

Some kids are leaving high school early with dreams of Q-school in their minds.

Evan Davis These kids can’t even vote yet, and they’re entering the realm of professional sports.

Now say we change a few details.

Major League Soccer has kids who are It’s 2001, and instead of wanting to be barely old enough to get driver’s licenses. a dentist, there’s a kid who wants to play But we, the American public, don’t professional sports.

These kids grow up with a goal: and maturity in the life of each player playing in the NBA. That goal becomes a who decides that he’d like to make milreality, and they leap at the opportunity. lions. And sportswriters everywhere add Some of them are only a year short of fuel to the fire.

further

-

But this begs the question: Why does the fire exist in the first place? What’s wrong with an athlete leaving school without graduating?

We’ve all heard the arguments about why every athlete should get a college degree before turning pro. My personal favorite is the “What happens if you get injured?” one, which is simply ridiculous on two counts.

First of all, ask yourself which is better: suffering a career-ending injury at age 20 while a junior in college, or suffering the same injury at the same age, after having signed a three-year NBA deal and collecting a few million dollars.

Second is the absurd notion that once one leaves school, one can never go back and get his degree. If pro sports don’t pan out, school always remains an option, whether at age 18,20 or 50.

Just ask Jim Scharrer, a 24-year-old freshman linebacker on Duke’s football team. Fresh out of high school, the Erie, Pa. native signed a professional baseball contract with the Atlanta Braves organization that included a $250,000 signing bonus. But after failing to advance past Double-A in six years of trying, Scharrer decided to work toward his college degree.

Scharrer took a shot at his dream because it’s what he wanted to do. But for some young athletes, it’s what they need to do. Some ofthese kids have families at home who need money. Some of them have brothers and sisters who could use financial help. Yet we sit at home wondering what in the world possessed that kid to let a booster buy him a car.

“He should know better,” we say, totally oblivious to the fact that not every 18-year-old in this world has a

family that can buy him a new suit, much less a new car.

How ignorant is the average sports fan? Does anyone really think that it is in this kid’s best interests to wait for the millions?Does anyone truly believe that a degree, a piece of paper, should take precedence over one’s future? Everyone

insists that these two entities should coincide, but in this case, that’s not always true.

Don’t get me wrong. Not every college athlete is wasting his time in the NCAA. Some people have no business being in the draft. Their professional careers are anything but guaranteed, and more college experience would certainly help them hone their skills. Others, like Duke’s Jason Williams, simply valued the extra year in school more than an additional year in the pros. He isn’t wrong, but neither are the ones who decide differently than Williams did.

College degrees are simply a means toward an end; getting a job. Take a computer science student, and offer him a multi-million dollar job with Microsoft following his junior year of college. I’m guessing that he is going to choose Bill Gates over those early-moming computer labs. Just a hunch.

My grandfather didn’t need to finish college to accomplish his goals, so he left. Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry didn’t need to attend college at all. They became the first, second and fourth overall picks in this year’s NBA draft, and signed the multi million dollar contracts that accompany their draft status.

So, let me ask you a question. Why should thesekids have gone to college? :

New York Times News Service

� The NCAA rule that prevents a school from bringing in more than five recruits in a year and more than eight in two years was not recommended to be repealed yesterday.

From staff and wire reports

The NCAA’s Basketball Issues Committee convened by telephone yesterday, but failed to reach a consensus about the five/eight rule.

The rule, which comes into effect with the class of2001, limits a school to five scholarship players in one recruiting class and eight in two years.

Although, the committee, which includes Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, has no legislative power, it could make recommendations to the NCAA management council, who would then write the appropriate bylaws.

The teleconference ended with the committee

recommending that the rule be modified so that schools could replace a player who left, either for the NBA or for another college, on pace to graduate in five years.

Presumably, this change in the rules, if adopted, will help Duke, as Jason Williams has announced he will go to the NBA this spring despite being a few credits short of graduating.

Duke would then be able to bring in six scholarship players; J.J. Redick, Michael Thompson, Lee Melchionni, Sean Dockery and Shelden Williams plus Shavlik Randolph—the Blue Devils’ final recruiting target for the Class of 2006—if he commits to Duke.

If the rule change is not instituted, or if it is not applicable to Duke’s situation, and Randolph commits, Melchionni will pay tuition as a freshman and not count as one of the five scholarship players.

Martinez announces he will League may push back Super not play again this season Bowl, cancel wild-card week

By JIMMY GOLEN The Associated Press

“I always felt safe on a baseball field.”

The Red Sox were in first place in the American League East on June 27, when Martinez first went on the disabled list.

They were still in contention when he returned Aug. 26, but he was clearly not the same pitcher who won three Cy Young Awards and was 7-1 with a 1.44 ERA on Memorial Day. His return couldn’t keep the Red Sox from losing 13-of-14 games since Aug. 25 to fall 13 games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East and 13 1/2 games behind Oakland in the

Boston Red Sox ace BOSTON Pedro Martinez said Tuesday he will miss the rest of the season with inflammation in his right shoulder, confirming what had been expected since the team fell out of contention.

“I would like to pitch, but there’s nothing I can do,” he said while standing in the Fenway Park stands in street clothes.

“I have to be smart. There’s nothing can I do to bring the team back.”

Martinez was placed on the 15-day disabled list so he could rest his AL wild-card race.

After his last start, Sept. 7, the shoulder and team said he would not pitch again let the inflamunless the Red Sox returned to the mation recede pennant race.

He will begin “Like everybody else, we were rehabilitation a little bit more,” Martinez expecting as soon as the said. “I was very sad to let it go. We season is over, lost Nomar [Garciaparra], which was a general managbig part of it, and also [Jason] Varitek.

Dan er But we tried. We don’t have anything Duquette said before Boston’s to be ashamed of.”

Martinez’s spot in the Red Sox rotagame against p ecj r0 Martinez tion will be taken by former reliever Tampa Bay—the team’s first since the terrorist Derek Lowe.

Lowe will be limited to three attacks at the Pentagon and World innings or 45 pitches against Detroit Trade Center.

“The reason we’re playing right now Saturday and probably will get at most four starts. is probably to try to make people forLowe, who has blown six-of-30 save get,” said Martinez, who is expected to chances this year and allowed eight-ofbe ready well before spring training.

“I don’t have any fear,” he said when -27 inherited runners to score, has asked whether he was concerned about made just 19 starts in 295 major his safety when playing in Fenway Park. league appearances.

Tagliabue said in reference to the playoffs. “Several options have been presented to us in recent days that would help us accomplish that. If we cannot resolve our entire postseason lineup in a satisfactory fashion, we then will go to a system of six division winners and two wild-card teams for this one season only.”

One option would be to move the Super Bowl, to be played in New Orleans, from Jan. 27 to Feb. 3. There is only a one-week break this year after the championship games.

One way to do that would be to switch the Super Bowl and the National Auto Dealers Convention, scheduled for the next week. The Pro

Bowl, scheduled for Feb. 4, would either be moved back a week or played as scheduled without players from Super Bowl teams.

Another option would be to schedule most of the potential playoff teams for Saturday, Jan. 5, then play the wild-card games Wednesday Jan. 9.

The next round would be played Jan. 13-14 with the championship games as scheduled on Jan. 20—most likely with four exhausted teams.

A third would be to play the title games on Super Bowl Sunday, Jan. 27, as a doubleheader at the Superdome. The Super Bowl would be played the next week at another site with New Orleans promised another game in the future.

The 16-game season appeared to be a certainty soon after Tagliabue

announced last Thursday that last week’s games were off because of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C One reason is financial. If the league had played 15 games, 15 teams would have played seven home games instead of eight, missing out on one lucrative gate. And the league would owe the networks $4O million to $6O million for the wild-card games that would not be played if the alternate scenarios don’t work out.

Another reason was practical. San Diego was scheduled to be off last week. So the Chargers would have ended the season having played 16 games while the others would have played 15.

And a third reason seemed to be that most players and coaches wanted a full schedule.

But the players and coaches also wanted a full playoff schedule. If options can’t be worked out, however, they won’t get that.

“Fewer playoff teams is basically going to take the playoffs out of a lot of teams’ reach,” said Wayne Gandy of Pittsburgh, which must play in the Baltimore, AFC Central with Tennessee and Jacksonville. even maybe “By December, November, guys are going to get down on themselves because they’re going to realize only four teams are going to make the playoffs and, in the AFC, there are a lot of good teams. It’s going to be a challenge for everybody.”

The Chronicle Time to play ball Tuesday,

all of Major League Baseball’s teams resumed play.

Last week and throughout last weekend, many sporting events, from the collegiate level to all professional sports, were canceled out of respect to those whose lives ended from Sept. 11s terrorist attacks. Looking back on that decision, it was indeed the prudent choice to make, both locally at Duke and in professional sports as well.

Athletics administrators at the University, including Athletics Director Joe Alieva, showed a great deal of thoughtfulness with the decision to cancel professional events. Only on Sunday did Duke sports re-emerge with volleyball, which also played Tuesday night.

Many members of the Duke community, including a former lacrosse player and a former football player, are thought to have died in the attack on the World Trade Center and understandably the thoughts of athletes, like many Americans, drifted away from entertainment to the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. Even the players, who devote much of their lives to their sports, recognized that sporting events were secondary.

Even if players had been mentally ready, the logistics would have prevented much play. In the case of women’s soccer, a cross-country trip to San Diego was out ofthe question because airports did not open until Thursday, and even then only on a select basis. Throughout the weekend, heightened security forced two- to four- hour delays.

Furthermore, there were security concerns ofhosting 70,000 people in stadiums only days after a terrorist attack that seemed unfathomable a month ago. Meanwhile, those people would have been rooting against the opposition at a time when Americans should have been uniting together.

The country must move forward, but last week would have been premature. The National Football League was criticized in 1963 for going forward with games the weekend after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. With the experience ofthat controversy, the NFL and MLB held off throughout the weekend. After all, how many fans would have wanted to go to a baseball game last week anyway?

Bud Selig, MLB commissioner, decided immediately to end games the day of the incident and was very sensitive to the issue.

In the case of Giant Stadium, only 10 miles from ground zero, the sight and smell of smoke from the rubble ofthe World Trade Center should have been enough to cancel its NFL game.

Sports can promote the sense ofnormalcy that show Americans have not been crippled. Now is the time to come back. People need to move on, in their own ways, and sports has a role in that as well.

Many players and fans have marked this transition with pageantry, waving flags and cheering the country. Sports reflect culture, and now is the time for both to display the resilient American spirit.

On

the record

Bottom line, it is just a big inconvenience, as far as time and money go.

Lack of outrage

Political correctness leads some to fault America and not terrorists

thousands of American mi lives in 1944 and 1945 and protected from Alexandra Soviet imperialism for wlf °** e the next 44 years—has been exceeded only by what I have heard all around me for the past week here on the Duke campus. A class begins and the voice from the front of the room says, “We only got what we deserved.

We’ve been bombing and invading other countries at will.” In a seminar a student says, “The level of patriotism in America is scary.” As two students enter a classroom, I hear one say to the other, “The most horrible part of this whole thing is all the racial profiling.” I hear others saying, “You have to separate the political from the personal” and “I’m getting sick ofall the sob stories.”

It’s comments like these that make it harder for me, a native New Yorker, to face this tragedy from Durham. College campuses are probably the most liberal, politically correct havens in America, and here at Duke the PC response to the attack is rampant. Such sentiments, and others on the Bryan Center board, are the result of a liberal education gone awry. The only comfortable part of dealing with the event in North Carolina is the knowledge that the tobacco town is an unlikely target for the next terrorist attack.

While I, like many other students, fear the idea ofWorld War 111 and flinch at even the suggestion of genocide, I just can’t get my mind around the idea

that we “deserved the attack” or that

the horror of it all is “racial profiling.”

This happens to be a country that for 150 years, with a generosity unparalleled in history, has opened its arms to immigrants of every sort from all over the earth—quite a few of whom attend Duke today. The predicted “wave” of bias attacks against America’s two million Muslims never happened. In fact, such incidents have been extremely rare. And sure, we have intervened all over the world, but we’ve done so for economic or diplomatic reasons —motivations far more tangible than jealousy or religious fanaticism.

I can’t get my mind around the idea that “the level of patriotism is scary,” referring no doubt to such things as the flags painted on the benches and the red, white and blue decorating every storefront and restaurant. If this display of unity in the face of attack is frightening, I urge these PC sheep to go back to the roots of their political correctness and ask themselves, “If my brother died last Tuesday, would I be the one saying, We got what we deserved, and we have to separate the personal from the political?’” If anything is “scary” inside Duke’s cozy nest, it’s the wave of fashionable self-loathing.

I particularly resent that it’s fashionable to complain that one has had a bellyful ofthe “sob stories.” I spent a good portion oflast Wednesday and Thursday talking to high school friends who have lost their parents. I spoke to one friend’s mother, whose husband has undoubtedly perished. Yet she still whispered into the phone in a hoarse, tremulous voice, We’re going to find hipi. I know he made it out. He’s one of the most resourceful men you can imagine. I’m on the Internet right now looking at the survivor lists.”

I did not talk to a 23-year-old girl I grew up with—and met for dinner just

three weeks ago. The attack on the World Trade Center either incinerated her or blew her to bits. She no longer exists. Am I being advised to “separate the political from the personal” in order to trumpet the fashionable liberal slant?

For many who have no connection to New York, the event is understandably more symbolic than personal. But what does it symbolize? That even the world’s only superpower can be dealt a lethal blow, killing 5,500 utterly innocent civilians in half an hour? Yes. But the aftermath symbolizes something else. Our attackers can explode buildings but not our ideals.

The country is rising as strong as ever, perhaps stronger. The incident has awakened a sleeping giant.

A minister at the prayer service at the University last Wednesday told the audience to pray that the government remains peaceful and doesn’t attack

anyone else. Although we’ve all been brought up wanting world peace, I will not pray for pacifism. I’ll pray against it.

As a 5’5” female English major and French minor, I hardly have the mindset of a warlord. But I will wear my red, white and blue, I will revere our flag flowing in the wind and hold in contempt the terrorists who attacked the wrong country.

Believe whatever you want, cower at our patriotism, but unless you have a close friend with a father who drove her to school every morning and tucked her in at night and whose day was interrupted by a 757 smashing into his office, driving temperatures up to 1500 degrees and hurling him and his coworkers out through the walls, just don’t tell me about your political correctness.

I won’t be listening.

Religious fundamentalists also exist in America “The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the | gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way—all of them who have tried to secularize America —I point the finger in their face and say, Ton Martin helped this happen,”’ said Rev. Jerry Barna Falwell, Sept. 13, 2001 Two days after seeing the horrors of fundamentalizm unleashed on America, two days after our president rightly stated that this needed to be a time to come together and put politics aside, two days after over 5,000 Americans were murdered in a ruthless and savage manner—Falwell decided to break the silence and confess that civil liberties and personal freedom were what led to Sept, ll’s tragedy. He half-heartedly

recanted two days later.

I’d rather not look at the twisted logic of Falwell’s statement—which can be extrapolated in only one way—that the terrorism was an act ofGod. I prefer not to dwell on the intricacies of Falwell’s perverted ver-

sion of the Christian faith.

Then again, our world is all too full of Falwells and Pat Robertsons (who sat nodding in agreement with Falwell on Thursday). It’s the Falwells of the world that caused Tuesday’s destruction, and who have made religion into a weapon. They are the American Taliban —thankfully they are not in power.

Religious fundamentalism —by Muslims, Jews or Christians —is a greater threat to the stability of civilization than any nation-state. Nation-states are polit-

ical—game theory and logic dictate their actions, not to mention the global political system. The religious fervor that defines fundamentalists is not easily enumerated. Since religion is abstract and illogical—a matter of faith not of calculation—game theory is worthless. A suicide bomber without a nation, acting out ofhate and without regard for his own life, cannot be rationalized or explained by the old model.

This indifference to the old model of diplomacy and

war is what makes fundamentalism so dangerous.

From Palestine to Pensacola (where anti-abortion people detonated a couple doctors offices in the ’80s), from Oklahoma City to the World Trade Center, our current rubric for defense—from enemies both domestic and foreign—is useless against fundamentalists.

However, that does not mean that we are helpless against the fundamentalists of this world. Those fundamentalists who cower in bunkers and send minions off on suicide missions will receive justice—as will the countries that protect those people. But even after we take care of the current terrorists, there will be another problem—like a Hydra, cutting off one terrorist cell’s head will not kill the beast. Our president has been warning us that this war against terrorism will be long. Try infinite. Fighting fundamentalism abroad is not a winnable war.

We can, however, win the war against fundamentalism at home, and we can work to encourage people to learn more than a surface level about faiths they know nothing about.

Many Americans are developing a hatred for something they understand little about—lslam—as Muslims across the country are currently being subjected to an intense level of unjust in some cases, unjustifiable violence. Furthermore, it is based on false pretenses of Islam.

Islam has five pillars; testimony, prayer, fasting, almsgiving and pilgrimage. These pillars have equivalences in Christian and Jewish dogma. There is nothing inherently violent about Islam. Islam, when practiced according to its tenets, is peaceful. Last Tuesday’s terrorist acts smite true believers in Islam as much as

they do Christians and Jews. We need to be careful to separate the fundamentalists from the traditional believers—as we must also do as Christians.

When I tell people that I am a Christian, I do not want to be associated with the fundamentalist babble of Falwell any more than the ordinary Muslim person wants to be associated with the Taliban. In these times, with our tolerance and patience being pressed to extremes—we need to extend our minds further—and show off the durability of the American people. Part of that durability is mending our broken nation. Part of that durability is punishing those responsible with an iron hand. And part of that durability is remembering the freedoms that make this nation great—that includes the freedom of and from religion.

As we progress further from the memory of what America was like Sept. 10—before the horror—we cannot forget the way our lives used to be. Nor can we forget the freedoms on which this nation is based—the freedoms that guided our nation for 225 years. There are those who would like to use this tragedy for political gain—exploiting tragedy in order to advance an agenda. This cannot be. We need to say to the Falwells that an agenda of hate will not dictate the future of this nation. Religious zealotry is a means to our own end.

This America belongs to all of us. I have never been prouder to be a part ofit.
