A&S faces tough year for budget Administrators and faculty will face tough decisions as they hammer out an Arts and Sciences budget for fiscal year 2002.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Hard choices—that is how William Chafe, dean ofthe faculty of arts and sciences, describes the budget process for fiscal year 2002.

With an impending $1 million to $1.5 million deficit in the Graduate School, Chafe said the budgeting process will have to be creative and will involve tough discussions about priorities. Chafe added that there is not enough room in the budget for new faculty, larger salaries, more research support and increased money for younger graduate students.

“I expect a lot of discussion and interaction to take place,” Chafe said. “It’s different because the budget crunch in the Graduate School is one that did not exist earlier. We have gone through an ongoing hiring process.”

Chafe also said that the slumping economy, particularly in light of last month’s attacks, will make budget tightening crucial. But he predicted that the budget will break even.

TENTS FILL KRZYZEWSKIVILLE, which will repopulate before the Jan. 17 game against Maryland, the first tenting game of the year.

Legislature approves new tenting policy

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Krzyzewskiville now has its constitution.

Duke Student Government legislators voted unanimously Wednesday night to approve the 2001-02 tenting policy.

The resulting plan, however, is significantly different from the policy Head Line Monitor Greg Skidmore proposed at last Wednesday’s DSG meeting.

Responding to student input received in the past week, Skidmore changed his initial walk-up line policy to make it more demanding on students.

Although those in the line can still provide the name of a friend at the time of registration, line monitors will make random and unannounced checks throughout the days before the two tenting games to ensure that at least one

member ofthe pair is in line at all times.

Skidmore stood by his earlier position that allowing students to be in line only 50 percent of the time was a fair policy.

“I think this remains in the spirit of the walk-up line because students can still go to class, get food or go to the bathroom,” said Skidmore, a senior.

“One of them will have to remain in line up until the start of the game.”

Skidmore urged students not to pair with people with similar schedules because no allowances for absences will be made during the checks, expect for two 10-minute bathroom breaks during weekdays.

Citing demand for more hard-core tenting spots, Skidmore also altered his proposed reduction of tents during the earlier Blue period from 50 to 30. Al-

though the Blue tenting for the game against the University of Maryland Jan. 17 will be limited to 30 tents, last year’s cap of 50 Blue tents will continue for the March 3 game against the University of

North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: The Legislature unanimously passed a resolution denouncing recent harassment against Muslim, Arab and Middle-Eastern members of the Duke community. West Campus legislator Peri Kadaster, a cosponsor of the resolution, said the move was in response to isolated harassment incidents on campus since the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

Seven students were also elected to DSG’s Judiciary Board: Jessica Clark, Matt Ivester, Kai Lin, Dev Motwani, Sripriya Narasimhan, Rene Stokes and Sara Zielske.

Born in 1941, McKinney moved (Me Birth of to Durham eight June 29,1941 years later. He served in the U.S. Navy reserves at Guantanamo Occupation Bay during the 1962 Cuban Salesperson Missile Crisis. He has worked as a salesperson for employers Education ranging from life insurance companies to cemeteries. He has also Some course work at Durham worked for a trucking company, Technical Institute, University for pest control companies and North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a consultant on diversity issues. Since 1972, he has run Se&hft Offices Held numerous times for various public offices. During the last mayoral election in 1999, he was eliminated in the primary.

Activist Ralph McKinney, a frequent—if so far unsuccessful —candidate for offices, has again thrown his hat in the ring, this time for Durham mayor.

McKinney, who has run for such offices as county commissioner and U.S. Senator, is centering his campaign on remedying injustices—racial

discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual abuse. His commitment to solving those problems comes from personal experience with them in the workplace, he said.

The 60-year-old salesperson, who first ran for office in 1972, said he remembers experiences when his employers told him to charge black customers twice as much as white ones for the same services and when managers would stir up racial tensions to encourage their workers to raise prices on customers of the opposite race. He also said he remembers occasions when women were sexually harassed.

“I worked in too many businesses in Durham that intentionally charged people extra because they were black... and it’s created an environment of fear,” he said. “Citizens should be able to have

zero tolerance for businesses that require you to be a racist bigot to have a job.” McKinney said that after he spoke up against racism, companies would deny him employment—even though he had won trophies for his skill as a salesperson.

McKinney blamed current city and county officials for allowing injustice to exist, or for doing nothing when he and other citizens lodge complaints. He said that if he were elected, he would

not tolerate racist businesses, and would try to strip them of their licenses.

“All elected officials for the past 40 years have promoted, protected and profited off racism themselves,” he said. “People who take oath of office take oath of office to protect their citizens.

When they don’t protect their citizens... they’re cowardly traitors, and they commit acts of treason, and they should resign today.”

Most elected officials dismissed McKinney’s accusations of treason. “I think that perhaps is his perception, but I believe that perception is baseless,” said City Council member Floyd McKissick.

Mayor Nick Tennyson said he did not “intend to dignify [the claim of treason] with a response.” He added that McKinney’s charges of doing nothing in response to his complaints were “just not true.”

Bush pushes new spending, tax cuts

The president endorsed a $6O to $75 billion plan in an effort to help the economy

By RICHARD STEVENSON New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON

President

George W. Bush urged Congress Wednesday to pass a package of tax cuts and additional spending worth up to $75 billion as part of the effort to shore up the faltering economy.

“One person laid off is one person too

many,” he said.

As described by Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, the administration’s proposal includes a mix of tax breaks for businesses, new money for state unemployment benefits and a quicker timetable for implementing the tax cuts approved earlier in the year.

Republican and Democratic congressional leaders said they would

support an economic recovery plan of the scale suggested by Bush.

But in a sign of the tricky task the administration faces in piecing together a plan that can win broad bipartisan support, the White House’s approach came in for heavy criticism from Republicans on Capitol Hill, especially conservatives who object to increased government spending and tax cuts that would be limited to people with lower incomes. They said that the White House was caving in to demands from Democrats too quickly and dissipating the economic impact ofthe stimulus plan in the process.

“I have a hard time seeing where the administration’s coming from on this,” said Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn.

Democrats said they would prefer that the individual income tax Cuts go primarily or exclusively to low- and middle-income people. Under the across-the-board reduction in tax rates favored by the administration, the benefits would accrue mostly to upper-income people* who pay most of the income taxes.

Bush said he had concluded that the economic plan should total $6O billion to $75 billion, in addition to $4O billion in emergency spending and a $l5 billion airline industry bailout package already signed into law after the attacks.

In settling on that range, Bush is supporting a package at the high end of the range being discussed in Congress.

City candidates debate policies

By MELISSA SOUCY The Chronicle

At a panel Wednesday night, candidates for Durham City Council and mayor heatedly discussed their opinions on issues ranging from affordable housing to capi-

tal punishment.

Although the panel, facilitated by North Carolina Central University’s student government, saw a turnout of only about 40 people, the audience’s questions left candidates pressed for time to get out all their points and rebuttals.

The majority of the night was occupied by a debate among the City Council candidates. At one point, both candidates and audience members rose to their feet when the topic turned to crime, as candidates Michael Peterson and Ray Übinger took sides at opposite extremes.

Peterson, a former columnist for The Chronicle, cited

programs already running in Virginia. He suggested that Durham adopt Project Exile, which sends anyone illegally owning a gun to jail for five years.

In response, Übinger, a clinical data assistant at the Medical Center and a member ofthe Libertarian Party, explained his “peaceful” drug policy. “By the government forbidding something, the problem is getting worse,” he said. “We shouldn’t put people in jail who are simply exchanging personal property.”

He added that when the government incarcerates people who are not hurting anyone, there is less room in prison for murderers and rapists.

The candidates also fielded questions relating to Durham’s economic environmentand affordable housing.

“Empowerment” was incumbent Tamra Edwards’ economic solution, “We as a city council could act as a facilitator to bring the community together,” Ed-

wards stressed.

She explained that the city should look to successful businesses to help provide job skill training and development for the city’s youth—a point several other candidates agreed with. “A working person is a productive person,” said Howard Clement, a 19-year council member.

Some candidates, notably Peterson and challenger John Best, said the city needed to perform a complete audit and recover the money—about $BOO,OO0—that the city gave out in small-business loans that are now under federal investigation.

All candidates acknowledged the importance of affordable housing, although some were less willing than others to use public funding to improve housing availability.

MELISSA SOUCY/THE CHRONICLE

MAYORAL CANDIDATES Ralph McKinney, City Council member Brenda Burnette, Mayor Nick Tennyson and former county commissioner Bill Bell discussed their ideas for Durham at a panel discussion Wednesday night

Peterson argued that there is “tons ofHUD money” to be put toward housing, and that the allocation of city funds for such a purpose should be sidelined until money is recovered from the programs that have not yet been audited In contrast, incumbent Angela Langley emerged as a strong housing advocate. “I do believe in putting public money where it can help our citizens,” she said. “A home is an anchor for a person because you really can’t do much without an address.”

Other City Council candidates present included challengers Cora Cole-McFadden, Jeffery White, Joe Williams and Steven Matherly, and incumbents Dan Hill, Thomas Stith, Lewis Cheek and Erick Larson, a Perkins Library employee. Incumbent Jacqueline

Wagstaff did not attend.

Following the debate among the City Council candidates, NCCU students posed questions dealing with capital punishment, tax increases and crime to mayoral candidates Bill Bell, Brenda Burnette, Ralph McKinney and incumbent Nick Tennyson.

Burnette and Bell adamantly opposed capital pun-

ishment, saying the justice system sometimes leads to the conviction of innocent people. Tennyson agreed that the system was flawed, but said he still supported the death penalty in principle. “Some crimes are so egregious that the only appropriate punishment is the loss of one’s life,” he said.

Burnette called for a cautious approach to taxation.

“We have to make the people with the money pay” the current City Council member said.

Bell agreed, but added that some taxation is beneficial. “I don’t think people mind paying taxes if they’re getting better services,” he said.

McKinney blamed businesses for taking advantage of black people, claiming they often overcharge them because oftheir race. “If we recovered money from the bigots, we’d have money and no need for new taxes,” he said.

McKinney also said public funding would not be necessary to prevent violence. “There is so much money in the world that people have no use for,” he said. “If they saw Durham had a commitment [to violence prevention] we wouldn’t have to tax.”

Tennis center to again welcome non-varsity athletes Officials optimistic that facility will attract more students despite same structure for fees

By STEVEN BISCHOFF The Chronicle

In less than a month, the Sheffield Tennis Center will again open its doorjs to students, faculty and the general public. If last year is any indication, the indoor tennis courts will attract few students but several faculty and staff members.

The University built the center in 1999 to provide Duke’s varsity tennis programs with a state-of-the-art indoor tennis facility, complete with six indoor courts, locker rooms and coaches’ offices. In fall 2000, it decided to

accommodate students, faculty and staff as well.

“Students are welcome to use the facility any time during business hours,” said David Hagymas, director of the center. Beginning Nov. 1, business hours will be 9 to 11 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.

For $l6, students can call ahead to reserve a 90-minute block of time or show up on a first-come, first-serve basis. Faculty and staff can play for $24 per court and the general public for $2B. A seasonal contract that enables students to reserve a designated time each week at a reduced rate is also available.

“We researched other facilities at [the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill] and Wake Forest [University] to come up with a competitive

rate and tried to stay in that ballpark,” said men’s tennis coach Jay Lapidus. Lapidus said the fee might be cost-prohibitive for students and that more staff than faculty reserved time at the center last year.

Hagymas said he thought that students preferred to play outside.

Despite Duke’s club tennis teams practicing in the facility and some additional student use, Hagymas said the facility, which was full only a couple days per week last year, still had plenty of room to accommodate more recreational use. He remains optimistic that more students will play at Sheffield this year as the center attempts to publicize its availability to the Duke community.

Student opinion about the facility is not quite so enthusiastic.

“Even though the court rate is relatively modest, it is a strong deterrent for college students,” sophomore Adam Hausman said.

Similarly, sophomore John Alexander said, “It seems unreasonable that student tennis players should have to pay to use indoor courts.”

Hagymas reminds students that the fee is on a per court basis, and that if they choose to play doubles, it costs only $4 per student. Students also have the additional option of playing for free on the outdoor courts of East, West and Central Campuses.

DIVINITY STUDENT WILCANTRELL plays intramural football. Many students say intramural sports help build community.

Students find camraderie, exercise in intramural sports

By JOSH NIMOCKS The Chronicle

As this fall’s intramural sports enter the heart oftheir season, they continue to be a popular part of.undergraduate life.

Up to two-thirds of the student body takes part in intramural games, throughout the year, with about a dozen programs running at any point. The most popular tend to be basketball, indoor and outdoor soccer, softball, flag football and tennis.

The program includes the First-Year Student Program, which designates events specifically for first-year students: soccer, volleyball, flag football, basketball. The program also includes an All-Sports Day early in the fall.

Some students said that aside from providing athletic activities, the program also builds camaraderie.

“It’s a good way to build community in the dorm,” said freshman Andrew Card. “Nothing brings kids in a dorm closer than athletic rivalries, and it’s a fun way to get some exercise.”

All leadership positions on teams are filled by students, and most scheduling for events is done online through the self-scheduling system. Roy Skinner, director of intramurals, said the system makes starting a team easy.

“A group of guys get together and say, ‘Lets form a basketball team,’” Skinner said. “If they want to play serious or not

serious, we enable a person to do that.”

Like all organizations on campus, the intramurals program must deal with the issue of funding. However, by touching so many people, Skinner said that whenever an intramural sport requires more money—in order to use athletic space, for example—University funds are usually available.

“Suppose I had 300 basketball teams,” Skinner said. “That would require more money.”

Outdoor competitions take place on fields on East andWest Campuses. Most indoor competitions take place in Brodie Gym, Wilson Recreation Center and the Intramurals Building. “[Wilßec] has really helped satisfy our indoor needs,” Skinner said, adding that basketball uses much of the space.

As many as 200 basketball teams take part in before-season fall competitions.

Seven weeks of regular-season basketball follow, leading to playoffs in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

With a multitude of sports, a high

percentage of the student population participating, and team captains ranging from independents to fraternity and sorority members, the intramural program receives widespread support both financially and socially. “I personally think we have a really good program,” Skinner said. “It’s well-received, and it’s well-funded.”-

University welcomes new senior faculty members

By KENNETH REINKER

gy, Beratan worked for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory for five years before going to the University of Pittsburgh, where he taught for a decade, Beratan’s research is in theoretical chemistry and biophysics, specifically

The Chronicle

When David Beratan was an undergraduate at Duke 20 years ago, many buildings on campus, including the Bryan Center, were not yet completed. The Gross Chemistry Building, however, was already built. So when Beratan returned to the University this fall as R.J. Reynolds Professor of Chemistry, he found himself in familiar surroundings.

But Beratan is not the only new professor on campus—37 new faculty were hired this fall, while 15 left, for a net gain of 22 faculty, said Charles Byrd, associate dean of academic affairs.

“It’s a little weird to be on the other side of the lectern,” said Beratan, one of the three full professors hired this year by the College ofArts and Sciences. “Coming back to my alma matter is really a joy. I had many positive, good experiences here, and I’m glad to be back and a part of it again. It’s very satisfying for me.”

After receiving his Ph.D. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technolo-

dealing with how biological molecules

work. He typically works with a research team of six to eight people, often including undergraduates; he brought three graduate students with him from Pittsburgh.

“There’s an effort [at Duke] to build in the physical sciences that makes it a really interesting place to be,” Beratan said.

“It’s an exciting time because there are not only a number of good professors now, but we also have vacancies to hire and improve. There is a chance to help shape the department at an interesting and strong university.”

Currently Beratan is not teaching any classes; however, next fall he will be teaching graduate statistical mechanics and expects to teach junior-level physical chemistry.

Another senior hire, Karen Renuner comes to Duke as a professor of political science after close to 20 years at the University of New Mexico. “[Coming to Duke] was not an easy decision,” Remmer said. “I was just progressively impressed with the quality of the University and the department... This is a terrific university with a terrific political science department that attracts some of the best graduate students in comparative politics.”

Remmer’s primary interests are comparative politics and Latin America. She is currently teaching a graduate seminar on markets and democracy in Latin America, and will teach comparative politics with an emphasis on developing countries in the future.

“Most of my work has been focused on the interface between economics and politics,” Remmer said. “For example, I look at the importance of changing economics conditions on electoral outcomes.”

Brian Smith, who will serve as Kimberly Jenkins University Professor, is

the third senior professor added to Arts and Sciences.

Smith’s focus is the philosophy of computer science.

The low number of senior hires is consistent with a policy ofArts and Sciences to focus on hiring mostly young, junior level faculty, said William Chafe, dean ofArts and Sciences. The goal is to improve departments by developing junior faculty into what Chafe called “aca-

demic stars.”

Chafe said he was pleased with these hires. “We’ve made several senior hires to bolster programs,” Chafe said. “They are all people who are very distinguished.”

Chafe reported that 50 professors had received outside offers and that Arts and Sciences managed to retain 80 percent of these faculty members.

“We try to be very alert to people who we know are being looked at by other institutions,” Chafe said. “We talk about things we can do to bolster support and generally try to respond to things that are important to them.”

Administrators worry about rising capital expenditures I* BUDGET from page 1

The rest includes faculty salaries, new faculty hires, teaching budgets, capital budgets and graduate and undergraduate financial aid. Chafe, Mann and the Arts and Sciences faculty will examine allocation of those funds throughout the rest of the year.

“The issue is if the faculty doesn’t get into the act, the decision will be made without us,” said Ronald Witt, chair of the Arts and Sciences Council. Witt said he and Chafe will meet today to discuss the creation of a task force to address the budget.

Last year, the budget fell short by $3.6 million, forcing the University to dip into its $7 million reserves. Chafe attributed that shortfall to a capital problem—the accumulation of construction and technology costs. Mann noted that equipment purchases in the sciences will remain significant, especially if the University hopes to remain on the cutting edge ofresearch.

The cost of preparing office, classroom and lab space

Thomas Mann said the budget, which must be approved

by Chafe and Provost Peter Lange before heading to the Board ofTrustees, will be about $212 million.

Lewis Siegel, dean of the Graduate School, said the school’s budget would depend on the commitment the school makes to summer stipends. Siegel said that the school will begin a program for advanced research this year but that budget concerns may delay the provision of stipends earlier in the graduate student track.

He also said that cutting slots for graduate students across the board might be a solution.“You can’t say that’s not a choice,” Siegel said. “A total percent of the budget goes to the department. There’s a number ofslots in each department, so everybody goes down.”

Mann said that a great deal of the budget, including blocks for buildings, maintenance, libraries and student affairs, are not managed by Arts and Sciences.

for each junior faculty hire has risen from $300,000 to $600,000 over the last several years, and each senior faculty hire now costs $1.5 million.

Although the Campaign for Duke includes funds for capital expenditures, until the University receives the money, Mann said Arts and Sciences will depend on a special fund from Lange’s office. Chafe warned that even as capital campaign money comes in, technology and building costs will continue to rise.

“As these pledges actually mature into gifts, it’s at the end of that period you can begin to pull in money,” Mann said. “We’re not actually realizing a great deal of income from that at the moment. The hope is four or five years from now, as the provost’s support for our capital pulls back, the campaign will begin to kick in.”

Arts and Sciences currently has a $4OO million capital campaign goal and the Graduate School has a $2O million goal.

United States must deal with competing interests abroad COALITION from page 2

The Saudis have difficulties with these Islamic radicals, some of whom belong to the bin Laden network.

Saudi officials, with whom Rumsfeld met Wednesday, have been reluctant to authorize the use of the bases in their country to mount general air attacks on

Take Pakistan, for example. A country that has tested nuclear weapons and has a history of political instability, it has promised cooperation. But the United States is purposely limiting its requests for basing rights there, and Rumsfeld’s Middle East itinerary notably excludes Islamabad, lest a stop there be seen as

Afghanistan.

Other difficulties loom, closer to home.

For the moment, Secretary ofState Colin Powell appears to have won the big argument about the scope of the action.

What policymakers call “the Powell option”—concentrating the first phase of operations on bin Laden, the suspected terrorist leader, and on his network—has prevailed over a broader approach, possibly involving an attempt to oust Saddam Hussein in Iraq, favored by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wol-

provocative.

Pakistan’s most important contribution may be intelligence. Along with Russia and Egypt, and to a lesser degree China, it is believed to have the best data about Osama bin Laden.

Similar problems exist in Saudi Arabia, where the United States has about 5,000 troops plus a major air base with F-15s, F-16s and other aircraft. The country is a staunch ally of America and key provider of oil, but it also bankrolls the mosques and preachers who spread an uncompromising version of Islam, known as Wahhabism, close to that espoused by

fowitz and others.

But the question is likely to be reopened later, if bin Laden can be effectively dealt with. Wolfowitz has been quiet lately, at least in public, but allies on the Republican right, such as William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, and Richard Perle, a former State Department official, have kept up the pressure.

A Powell ally said, “'Hus dispute will be invented and reinvented in months and years to come.”

Other questions also await answers.

militant radicals.

With this divided loyalty—to the Unit-

ed States and to its unbending view of Islam—it is not easy for Saudi Arabia to make clear strategic choices in the looming conflict.

Bin Laden was bom in Saudi Arabia.

So, too, it seems, were several of the hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attack.

The most important relates to the Taliban government in Afghanistan, which has aided and abetted bin Laden’s operations.

Should the United States seek to oust it?

If so, how, overtly or surreptitiously? And if the Taliban goes, who should replace it?

Prime Minister Tony Blair ofBritain has spoken clearly on the subject, telling a Labor Party conference in Brighton, England, this week that the Taliban must “surrender the terrorists or surrender power.”

Sometimes President George W. Bush has sounded just as firm, but he has also insisted that the United States is not interested in using its military for “nationbuilding”—a reference to the American misadventure in Somalia and the longrunning peacekeeping mission in the Balkans—and other senior officials have used murkier language. Clearly, one of the problems is that Bush must speak to several audiences at the same time.

Tough talk goes down well at home and, to varying degrees, in Britain, France and Germany. But for many in the Islamic world, anything that smacks of a generalized anti-Islamic operation, as opposed to a concerted campaign to bring down bin Laden and company is not only distasteful but dangerous.

Egypt, another of the stops on Rumsfeld’s route, presents particular problems

and has not, in the words of a top US. official, “fallen all over itself to cooperate.”

President Hosni Mubarak is constantly looking over his shoulder at the Islamic militants, hostile to his government, who organized the assassination of his predecessor, Anwar el-Sadat, 20 years ago this week. One of the suspected conspirators is one of bin Laden’s closest associates.

With the Egyptian press carrying highly colored, largely anti-American accounts of the current crisis, Mubarak is said to have agonized over how much help to give to Washington, which has long been his major benefactor.

At the moment, the most promising land base for American combat operations would appear to be Uzbekistan, once part ofSoviet Central Asia. Lying directly north of the Afghan capital of Kabul, Uzbekistan has a large standing army and well-equipped military bases, a legacy of its role as a major staging point for the ill-fated Soviet military campaign in Afghanistan.

Small Special Forces units are already operating in the area, and Uzbekistan is on Rumsfeld’s schedule. Uzbekistan has an Islamic militant movement, too, but like Russia itself in relation to Chechnya, it appears to see cooperation with the United States to gain support for future moves against its domestic enemies.

But some local leaders said his notes and the comments can often seem cluttered and confusing.

“Some of the issues he raises are perhaps valid concerns; however, they get lost in a sea of ambiguity,” McKissick said. “It’s frequently difficult to identify and pinpoint what Mr. McKinney would like [the City] Council to do about particular matters.

As a result of his rambling style of conversation where many unassociated issues are all presented within a three-minute time frame, frequently you’re lost at the end.”

inney, agreed. “He sort of brings up the same handful of issues, and frankly, I find them to be really confusing every time he brings them up,” she said. “I think he hasn’t really brought anything new to the table that we haven’t seen before.”

Terry added that she is uncertain of the validity of many of the accusations McKinney brings against

businesses.

“I guess I’d like to think that if they did have merit, then somebody would have figured those out,” she said.

In addition to fighting discrimination, McKinney said he would end the city’s habit of closing some of its meetings to the public.

He also condemned the current city administration’s management of a series of federally funded loans distributed to small businesses. The repay-

ment status of many of the loans, which totaled about $BOO,OOO, is now in doubt.

McKinney said he would also focus on helping the neediest members of society. “There’s a saying, ‘For the least of these,’” he said. “People don’t mind paying taxes to help those who can’t help themselves.”

As an example, he said that for the past two weeks, he has been working to try to find government money to pay for home care for Helen Cojanis, a former schoolteacher who is disabled and confined to her bed.

Cojanis described McKinney as a “go-getter.”

“I think he really wants justice in government, and he pointed out a lot of difficult things that have happened down in our city,” she said. “I think he’s really empathetic toward people.”

But she said she- had not yet decided whether she would vote for McKinney.

Randolph officially ends recruiting war, picks Duke

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

SHAVLIK RANDOLPH officially confirmed he will to attend Duke at a press conference Wednesday.

After 20 minutes of prayer, thanks and a standing ovation, quiet and unassuming Shavlik Randolph strode to the podium near center court in Broughton High School’s crowded Holliday Gym. He leaned his head from atop his 6-foot-9 frame down to the microphones and thanked the speakers who had preceded him and the hundreds offans gathered in the gym.

“I’ve come to my decision, as you all probably know,” Randolph said. “I’ve decided to attend Duke University.”

Then he sat down.

The crowd—consisting of the Broughton football team on break from afternoon practice and many other students, adults in business attire who had left work early and the media—began clamoring for more of a speech.

Broughton coach JeffFerrell stepped into the vacuum behind the podium and, eliciting laughter, told the crowd that the speech was finished and that was ShaVs style.

The whole event was Randolph’s style.

Beginning promptly at four, the announcement ceremony was moderated

by Ferrell. First came a prayer, followed by Randolph’s principal, followed by his old AAU coach and finally his dad.

Kenny Randolph praised a number of his son’s past and present coaches as well as the coaches of the four other schools on Randolph’s final list.

After the presentation was over, the media swarmed around Randolph. The quiet young man told the reporters that he had been leaning toward Duke for a while and had all but officially decided

he was a Blue Devil after his official visit to campus.

“A couple weeks earlier I’d gone up [to Duke] to play pick-up and Sean Dockery and J.J. Redick were there,” he said. “And it was us three, Mike Dunleavy and a walkon. We just did really well and we had a lot of chemistry, and I knew that if I went there I could be the best player I could be.”

In addition to Dockery and Redick, Duke is also bringing in Michael Thompson, Lee Melchionni and Shelden Williams. Many analysts have suggested that Randolph and Williams, both big forwards, will have to compete for the same role at Duke. Randolph disagrees.

“I think [William’s] more of a pure power forward type of guy that can step outside every now and then,” he said. “But I’m more of a guy that can play around the wing and step inside when [l] need to.”

Randolph did not totally rule out a jump to the NBA at the end of this year, saying that ifpeople told him he’d be a lottery pick out of high school, he’d have to consult God, his family and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Randolph also said he had a tough time breaking the news to North Carolina coach Matt Doherty.

“I almost cried after I got off the phone with him because it was kind of like saying goodbye to an old friend you’re never going to see again,” Randolph said.

But the quiet, religious youngster is wrong here. He will see Doherty again—at least twice each season at Duke—but next time, Doherty will be more concerned with attempting to stop Randolph rather than trying to woo him.

A dream fulfilled

When

women’s soccer coach Bill Hempen suddenly departed after last year’s solid season, a gaping hole was left. Hempen founded the program in 1988, and quickly turned Duke into a perennial power.

The man trying to fill this huge void is the new women’s soccer coach Robbie Church.

Duke appears to be in good hands, as his players and assistant coaches have nothing but glowing remarks for him.

“He just has so much enthusiasm,” Katie Heaps said. “We have so much respect for him.”

Fellow senior Sarah Pickens has similar remarks. “It’s really fun to play for a coach who really cares about and respects you,” she said.

“He’s a really caring, knowledgeable coach.”

Although only inheriting the job in the middle of July, it seems Church is already on the same page with his players. When Church was asked what he felt was the best trait a coach can have, he responded with communication skills. When his players and assistants were asked what Church’s best trait was, they also

responded

“He has wonderful people skills. P< help motivate players,” said assis\ Billy Lesesne, who came with Chum previous coaching job at Vanderbilt U “I think that he communicates ex, he wants. It helps with unity so we a whole together,” said Pickens.

But Church knows that there is rrk than just winning. “The most importan that we could teach [our players] every time you step out for a game o tion, play as hard as you can; that yo game up to your fullest potential.”

Good as Godsey

By EVAN DAVIS The Chronicle

He was the runner-up for the 1999 Heisman Trophy.

He was a first-team All-America, ACC Player of the Year, and won the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award. He made his foray into the Georgia Tech record books in every passing category, and quarterbacked his team to two bowl victories.

Then Joe Hamilton graduated, and the Yellow Jackets entered the 2000 season with George Godsey under center.

Godsey had thrown only 32 passes in the previous two years before taking over for his famed predecessor.

Many wondered if he would be able to step in and pick up where Hamilton left off.

Godsey, however, did not feel pressured to be the next Hamilton. Instead, he says that the pressure he faced was to be simply the best that he could be.

‘The way coach [Georgel O’Leary coaches here is that he demands the best and expects a lot,” Godsey said. “He expects 100 percent effort and enthusiasm.”

And in 2000, Godsey delivered. His 2,906 passing yards and 23 touchdowns made him Georgia Tech’s MVP and earned him second-team All-ACC honors.

Aside from individual accomplishments, Godsey also led the Yellow Jackets to success as a team. After putting together a 9-3 season, including a final ranking of 17 and a win in front of 85,912 fans at hated rival Georgia, Godsey had silenced his doubters.

This year, however, expectations were even higher.

Tech entered the season billed as a contender for the national championship, but doubts arose almost immediately after the Yellow Jackets barely escaped from their season opener against Syracuse with a 13-7 win.

“Obviously, we have a lot of improvement to do,” O’Leary said following the game.“We have to play better in a lot of facets ofthe game.”

Godsey, for one, took his coach’s words to heart. After throwing for 224 yards and no touchdowns against the

�

Orangemen, the industrial engineering graduate student went on a tear. He put up 380 yards and four touchdowns in his next two games, despite playing for limited times in both games.

The Yellow Jackets’ good fortunes hit a roadblock against Clemson last week, however, as Woodrow Dantzler led his Tigers to a thrilling 47-44 overtime victory. Showing his usual optimism, though, Godsey insists that last week’s disappointment can do wonders if viewed in the correct light.

“I was looking at the game and I was upset,” he said.

“It’s like when you go to class and take a test, know the material, but do poorly. Even though we stumbled a bit there is still a chance to have a great season.... Right now we’re not the team we want to be.”

Those are scary words for his next opponent, since the Jackets still possess arguably the best three-man combination in the ACC—running back Joe Bums, wideout Kelly Campbell and Godsey.

Campbell’s speed and Bums’ toughness are qualities not lost on Godsey. He realizes the focus that defenses put on his team’s many other weapons.

“It’s a big burden off my shoulders having guys like that who can contribute,” Godsey said.

Whatever the reason, Godsey has certainly been flourishing. He posted a passing efficiency mark of 151.9 last year, highlighted by strings of 132 and 120 consecutive passes without an interception. This year, he has a mark of 180.4, good enough for second place nationally, while leading an offense which is averaging an ACC-best 40.5 points per game.

On Saturday, Godsey will lead his high-powered offense into Wallace Wade Stadium to take on Duke, a team that hasn’t won a game this millennium.

Predictably, though, he refuses to take it lightly.

‘What a lot of people don’t understand is that in the games they’ve played they haven’t been blown out ofthe water,” Godsey said of the Blue Devils. “They are a lot tougher than theirrecord shows.”

Bonds breaks age old record, still doesn’t catch Big Mac

By BEN WALKER

The Associated Press

Giants

Barry Bonds set a record. But not the one he wanted.

11 HOUSTON

Astros B Bonds broke Babe Ruth’s walks mark instead of making home run history in front of frustrated fans, scoring three times Wednesday night as the San Francisco Giants beat the faltering Houston Astros 11-8.

After striking out on rookie Tim Redding’s 96-mph fastball in the first inning, Bonds drew three straight four-pitch walks while the record crowd of 43,630 at Enron Field booed the Astros’ tactics.

Bonds’ two daughters even held up a sign that read: “Pitch to Our Daddy.”

Were the Astros afraid of him?

“It seems that way,” Bonds said.

Countered Redding: “If he thinks we’re cowardly for walking him, maybe he’s a little high on himself.

“We’re not out here to set major league records, we’re here to win ballgames,” Redding said. “The fans are here to see something special. I’d like to see if he could do it, too. But I’m not a guy that’s going to give it to him. He’s got to earn it.”

In a strange twist in the ninth, the crowd began

chanting “Barry! Barry!” when he came out on deck, hoping to see him get one last chance to match Mark McGwire’s record of 70 home runs. The fans then booed when Rich Aurilia grounded out, ending the inning.

Bonds has four games remaing to match McGwire’s record.

He walked right past Ruth’s total of 170 set in 1923, and finished the night with 172. He hit an RBI single in the eighth inning and the ballpark began clearing out.

“Babe Ruth didn’t have 170 walks for nothing,” Giants manager Dusty Baker said. “That was 1923, See BONDS on page 16

Celebrating a legend

With the support of his family and players, Coach K has taken Duke into its golden age Okay, flashback: It was late 1988, my first semester as a Duke student.

(There, I’ve dated myself.) I was attending one of my first basketball games in Cameron Indoor Stadium and was standing right behind the Duke bench. Mike Krzyzewski had just removed Christian Laettner from the game, and as Laettner took his seat, Krzyzewski, in response to a mistake the freshman had just made, knelt and delivered a blistering phillipic right in his face. I was taken aback by the intensity and vulgarity of the coach’s outburst, and the player appeared to be similarly affected because as soon as Krzyzewski walked away, Laettner buried his face in his hands.

Guest column Seth Davis A few seconds later, Laettner—and I —heard that same nasally voice pipe up from the far end of the bench.

“Christian, keep your head up!”

Krzyzewski said. “Learn from your mistakes!”

Those few seconds gave me my first real glimpse into how Mike Krzyzewski coaches, and though I’ve watched and written about him many times over the last 13 years (often to his chagrin, I’m sure), I don’t know

that I can offer up a better example to Yet after the final buzzer sounded, illustrate why he has been so success- Krzyzewski didn’t celebrate for even a ful.

attain such exalted status while maintaining a real semblance of humility.

Last fall, I saw him standing in a locker room in Madison Square Garden when an old writer friend came over to introduce his teenage son. Coach K stuck his hand out to the youngster and said, “Hi. I’m Mike Krzyzewski.”

As if he didn’t know.

There may be some debate this weekend over which of Coach K’s teams was his finest, but in my mind there’s no contest: It’s his family. Fve seen the drastic toll that the coaching profession can take on marriages and families, yet Krzyzewski has always

ensured that his wife, Mickie, and their three daughters felt like the most important members ofhis team. As for his other teammates, well, I like to tease him about his Catholic guilt (though as a Jew I can relate), and so I have no doubt he’ll feel guilty at times this weekend because their names can’t be etched on that Hall-of-Fame plaque right alongside his.

So as the basketball world commemorates his legacy and his special weekend gets underway, I’d like to offer Coach K one piece of advice, unsolicited as usual: Celebrate this weekend. All weekend. Every millisecond. If only to allow your teammates the chance to pat you on the back.

The Maryland Terrapins cracked the AP poll this week with a flawless 4-0 mark on the season.

This is the Terps’ first visit to the top 25 since 1995. Their game this week at home against Virginia has conference championship implications, as the Terps and Cavaliers are the only teams that remain undefeated in the ACC.

Church plans on Bonds remains 1 swing off Mark improving team BONDS from page 12 and we’re still playing baseball the same way.”

Said commissioner Bud Selig: “It only goes to prove what a remarkable season he’s had.”

The timing would’ve been perfect for Bonds to homer—it was the 50th anniversary of Bobby Thomson’s playoff “Shot Heard ’Round the World.”

Bonds was subbed out after the top of the ninth, and Houston scored five runs in the bottom halfbefore falling short.

The Astros, who could have clinched a playoff spot with a win, lost their fifth in a row and for the seventh time in eight games. They managed to hold onto their share of the NL Central tie with St. Louis, which lost at Milwaukee 7-5.

Jeff Kent delivered hits after each of Bonds’ walks

and drove in three runs to reach 100. Benito Santiago homered, doubled and also had three RBIs as the

Giants won for the seventh time in nine games.

San Francisco stayed two games behind Arizona in the NL West. The Diamondbacks beat Colorado 4-3.

“The other guys did more things out there to help the team,” Bonds said. “A lot of other guy did things, so this conversation is over.”

CHURCH from page 11 Heaps agrees. “Sometimes a coach will wait too long that he snaps when he sees you’re doing something wrong. [Church] will take you to his office and tell you what you did wrong. He takes the time out ofhis day After Bonds struck out, Redding, Nelson Cruz and to coach. He knows his players very well.”

Mike Williams all had their chances to take on Bonds, Before this season, Church amassed a 177-107-14 and none of them did continuing the walkathon that record in collegiate competition, having coached men’s began after Bonds hit his 69th home run Saturday. soccer at East Carolina, Belmont Abbey, and Lynn Since then, he’s gone 2-for-6 with seven walks, and University, and women’s soccer at UNC-Charlotte and has twice been hit by pitches.

“I think coaching girl’s teams suits my personality a little more,” Church said. “I think there’s adjustments and tweaking of the communication process, so that everyone is on the same page. Coaching women has been very rewarding, and I’ve enjoyed it a great deal.”

So far this season, the Duke women’s team has accumulated a solid, yet unspectacular, 4-4 overall record and an 0-2 record in ACC against stiff competition.

Despite the team’s early struggles, Church plans to improve.

“It’s difficult to come in as late as we did,” he said.

“We’re kind of doing this day by day.”

Church has always wanted to coach here at Duke.

He grew up attending Duke football and basketball games, and in 1985 he was one of the men’s soccer team’s assistant coaches.

“It’s a real privilege to be at Duke,” Church said “It’s kind of my dream coaching job.”

The Chronicle Supporting grad students

At

a large research institution like Duke University, thousands ofpeople are working to advance learning and knowledge, and graduate students provide a crucial backbone in that task.

Fortunately, the University is attempting to make their lives easier by providing a stipend for summer research. Additional stipend initiatives are key as the University attempts to continue and extend the strength of its many graduate programs.

The Graduate School’s initial plan provides for 50 fellowships to allow graduate students in Arts and Sciences to remain at Duke and continue their education in the summer. Although the inaugural program is currently aimed at students well into research for their dissertations, administrators have already announced their intention to expand the program to graduate students earlier on the path to their doctorate.

Strong graduate students have an impact on other parts ofthe University as well. Graduate students perform much of the groundwork for research at the University—research that enhances Duke’s prestige. From teaching to grading, graduate students also perform critical work in classrooms.

The University will rightly become more attractive to quality graduate students as the institution makes more of an effort to reward them and alleviate already heavy burdens. More immediately, summer stipends can boost students at Duke as well, shaving as much as a year off their time at Duke spent looking for grants rather than engaging in study. The result will also mean better teachers and better courses—something from which all departments can benefit.

Even though the programs’ attributes are quite significant, administrators have progressed prudently and cautiously at a time when fiscal discipline is essential. Arts and Sciences is already facing a budget shortfall —a smaller stipend program will be easier to manage and adjust in its inaugural phase. Furthermore, graduate school administrators hope to target these fellowships toward students in the humanities and social sciences. Students in natural sciences often receive National Science Fellowships and other grants. The focus ofthis addition support is rightly helping the students in fields without outside funds.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council should champion this cause and become a forum for discussion regarding future expansion of summer support. GPSC often prioritizes social activities—events that have community-building value—but the organization also has problems garnering student interest. GPSC leadership on this issue can directly improve the lives of graduate students at Duke.

On the record The issue is if the faculty doesn’t get into the act, the decision will be made without us.

Freedom’s strange bedfellows Give me your tired, your poor, / Your masses yearning to breathe free, / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.! Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost, to me,! I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

huddled

—Emma Lazarus Standing alone, Lady Liberty holds in one hand her torch of freedom and inscribed at her feet are the words of Emma Lazarus—both beckoning the tired masses hither. She stands as a symbol of opportunity and hope and maybe more importantly, freedom. How she must weep at the sight of the New York’s tragically altered skyline. She Kevin must also mourn over Omrralek I zaleK America’s inability or unwillingness to spread her radiant freedom wherever we dare tread.

American freedom remains unsurpassed to this day, even though the majority of the world’s people live within the borders of democratic nation states. Our brand of freedom comes at the expense of liberty for others so we may enjoy a healthier economy.

Occasionally we befriend oppressive governments, seeking commercial partnership and military alliances. We do not make a true concerted effort to spread our ideals, if such action would hamper our financial interests.

Americans like to believe their country stands for liberty, equality and justice. Yet looking at US. foreign policy over the past 50 years, an outsider might believe our bastion offreedom is an opportunistic hand that reaches across oceans and aids anti-democratic forces for pure economic gain. The United States has an odd enamored history of befriending others who outwardly oppose universal liberty. Yes, the Cold War influenced our decisions in regard to whom we supported, but nevertheless we intervened over and over against the democratically-elected leaders for our own benefit.

In 1961, the Central Intelligence

Agency, with the help of Belgian intelligence, assassinated the first democratically elected Congolese premier after it had been ravaged by colonization since the 1880s. The United States sponsored Augusto Pinochet’s rise to terror in the 1970s against a democratically-elected leftist government.

Throughout the 19705, the United States supported an authoritarian Shah who ruled and westernized the country without popular consent. After an Islamic movement overthrew the Shah, the U.S. government financially aided Saddam Hussein, a dictator with whom we are all too familiar, and encouraged him to invade Iran and overthrow the Ayatollah Khomeini.

During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the United States trained and supported our current foes, and after the Soviet Union’s collapse, America abandoned its work in Afghanistan.

Musing as a promoter of democracy, the United States has backed factions in various parts of the world, yet when the dust settled and our interests were met or beaten entirely, we often left the pile of rubble for others to clean.

This checkered past supporting despotic and clearly anti-democratic regimes may be justified as choosing between the perceived lesser of two evils. Yet when examined closely, the United States usually acts out of pure economic interests, not some higher

We recently praised Sudan, one of the few states where slavery still exists, in an apparent effort to curry favor.

The World Trade Center fires are not even out and we are courting the aid of every rogue, authoritarian and oppressor in an attempt to gain vengeance. What is the point in fighting these coming battles against supposedly anti-democratic terrorists to preserve worldwide democracy as we know it, if we must use such vile sources for aid?

moral calling. Since Sept. 11, the political pundits consistently called for a “War on Terrorism” as US. officials assembled a broad coalition. President George W. Bush stated in his address to the nation, “They hate, what we see right here in this chamber, a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms, our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.”

Yet we have supported and continue to ally our nation with anti-democratic regimes. Osama bin Laden has stated that he loathes the United States in

War simple, but Current events remind me of the only sequence from the movie Anna and the King that I recall with any clarity. King Mongkut had ordered the execution of one of his monks and one of his wives because they continued an affair after he married the woman. The king did it, as he explained to Anna, not for revenge, but to preserve his authority as king. But that isn’t what struck me.

We see the prisoners being led to James the execution block, and the execuHarkins tioner preparing the blade. Then, suddenly, we see the king in the Buddha temple, offering incense and bowing. His manner is one of sincere regret: “It is a terrible, terrible thing I am doing,” he seems to be saying. “I feel I must do this to preserve my country’s stability, but that doesn’t make it any less terrible.”

Why are we hearing no such messages from our government as we prepare for what will likely be a protracted and bloody war? Sen. John McCain has come the closest, in saying that this war will be “messy.” But that isn’t enough. Children in the kitchen make messes. Adults with real guns leave piles of rotten, mangled corpses for the vultures to tear apart.

“Messy” doesn’t even begin to describe the course we’re about to embark on.

Indeed, it is a terrible, terrible thing that we are planning to do, if in fact we are preparing to invade Afghanistan. Is it necessary for our country’s security, and that of our allies? Maybe it is; maybe it isn t.

I’m not qualified to judge. But why must the reality

not

be sugar-coated for the American public? Why must the horror be cloaked in the rhetoric of honor, nobili-

ty and heroism?

There is some truth in the rhetoric. Putting yourself in harm’s way for your country is a high level of selfsacrifice, and this does deserve our respect. But we don’t stop with respect for the soldiers, do we? Battle after battle, war after war, we’ve tried mightily to convince ourselves that war itself is heroic.

For the most part, public discourse about war—including high-school history classes, war documentaries, monuments, and the like—has focused on individual bravery, and the political outcomes of conflicts. I was in Charleston, S.C. recently, and I visited Patriots Point just two days before the attack. There was a display covering one wall, outlining the Civil War battles over Charleston Harbor. The technology of warfare was described in detail; military tactics were laid out; and various victories received glowing accounts.

There was lip service to numbers oflives lost and to that part of Charleston’s architectural heritage that was destroyed. But the carnage—bodies writhing in agony, trapped in the flames on a burning and sinking ship; infantrymen slowly bleeding to death on the battlefield or losing limbs to gangrene; young men with ideas and plans, and maybe even families, cut down long before their time—this is all kept at a safe remove, so that our hearts may swell with pride but don’t have to burn with regret over the hundreds of thousands of wasted lives.

Is it that we want to protect our veterans from confronting the doubts that they may have felt about their

missions? Or do we want to protect ourselves from the moral ambiguity of war? In war, heroism and brutality are so closely intertwined that we can’t really separate one from the other.

War is harder to tolerate when we acknowledge the full weight of that reality. During the Vietnam war, television coverage showed America the brutality of war in a new way, and the country was totally unprepared.

Many Americans freaked out and treated our veterans like pariahs, even though they had just been to hell and back.

Since then, it seems clear that we didn’t learn the lessons of Vietnam. We didn’t develop a holistic relationship with war, one that could recognize the many small acts of heroism found in any crisis situation while grieving as a nation for the base and uncivilized station into which humanity descends again and again. And now, faced with another horrible conflict, many Americans have no other ideas except, “It is time to go to war.”

If we must go to war, I ask only that we not fool ourselves about the nature of that act. It is a terrible, terrible thing, no matter what’s at stake. Are we mature enough to own up to that fact and take full responsibility for it, both individually and as a whole country? Are we creative enough to look for alternative courses of action that could reduce the need for violence, if not eliminate it? Are we ready to grow up, and find a better way?
