postal workers, who died Monday, likely had contracted inhalation anthrax, the deadliest form of the disease.

By DAVID ROSENBAUM and SHERYL STOLBERG New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON Two postal workers in the District of Columbia died Monday ofwhat health officials said was probably anthrax, and two others are hospitalized with anthrax in their lungs as concerns about

bioterrorism reached a new level.

Those who died and those in the hospital worked in the city’s main mail processing center, a complex that had not figured prominently into the initial inquiry into the biological scare. All mail for Washington, including that for Congress, goes through this center on Brentwood Road Northeast.

“There’s a war and a battlefield outside this country, and there’s a war and a battlefield inside this country,” said Tom Ridge, director of the office of

homeland security.

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES on one of five genomics facilities, the Center for Human Disease Models.

S®veral community members spoke in favor and against the use of school impact fees at last night’s meeting of the Durham Board of County Commissioners. See page 3

With last August's arrival of Dr. Sandy Williams, dean ofthe medical school, and the impending arrival of a director of the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy this year, the University-wide initiative on genomics is finally picking up.

Duke, which began the project three years ago, is still in the planning stages for IGSP. Only one of the five centers, the Center for Human Genetics, has a permanent director and of the three planned buildings, two are still under construction, and the final one has yet to gamer Board ofTrustees approval.

Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said both the $35 million Center for Human Genetics and the $4l million Center for Human Disease Models, currently being constructed on Research Drive, are on time and on budget. They are scheduled to open sometime during the 2002-2003 academic year.

Provost Peter Lange said he was not pleased with the pace ofthe genomics initiative, but that with a new medical school dean and a potential IGSP director, he hoped the initiative would finally begin to take shape.

Williams said genomics has been his top priority since arriving at Duke.

“I think it was necessary to have a dean of the School of Medicine before this could move ahead,” Williams said. “The opportunity to lead this is one of the big reasons I came back to Duke.”

Peer institutions are, by and large, ahead of Duke in some areas of genomics research. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Whitehead Institute began in 1982 and is currently a leading public sequencing center in the world and part of the international consor-

The U.S. bombs are creating a path to Kabul for the northern alliance rebels Bv STEVEN GUTKIN The Associated Press

U.S. jets BAGRAM, Afghanistan struck Taliban front-line positions Monday as the United States tried to pave the way for the opposition to advance on Kabul and other major cities. In an appeal for Muslim support worldwide, the Taliban accused America of waging a campaign of “genocide.”

The president of neighboring Pakistan, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, said he hoped military operations in Afghanistan would be over by midNovember, when the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins. Leaders throughout the Muslim world fear a determined backlash if operations

continue against Muslim Afghanistan during Ramadan.

While saying the U.S.-led campaign should continue until its objectives are met, Musharraf said bombing during Ramadan “would certainly have some negative effects in the Muslim world.” During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset.

“So one would hope and wish that this campaign comes to an end before the month of Ramadan, and one would hope for restraint during the

month of Ramadan,” Musharraf said on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”

The Taliban’s ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, claimed U.S, and British jets attacked a hospital in the western Afghan city ofHerat Mon-

day, killing more than 100 people. U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rums-

feld denied the claim, and Britain said none ofits planes took part in any raid against Herat. Rumsfeld also denied Taliban claims that they had shot down two U.S. helicopters.

With the shift toward front-line targets, U.S. jets spared Kabul Monday for the first time since the bombing was launched Oct. 7, aimed at rooting out bin Laden and his chief lieutenants in the al-Qaida terrorist network and punish the Taliban for sheltering him.

However, the jets returned before dawn Tuesday and dropped at least 10 bombs on targets in the north of See AFGHANISTAN on page 10 �

School impact fees draw debate

Community members present arguments for both sides B Y MELISSA SOUCY e C romcle

At a meeting ofthe Durham County Board of Commissioners Monday, the consideration ofschool impact fees evoked what commissioner Ellen Reckhow called “a very spirited debate.”

A public hearing—in which 37 realtors, citizens, parents and developers argued before the county commissioners—consumed the majority of podium time, Speakers discussed whether the county should charge impact fees on new residential developments to compensate for the rapid increase of students in Durham public schools.

Members of the public often spoke of a $5,000 fee accompanying the purchase of all single-family houses and $3,000 for all other housing developments.

The commissioners argued, however, that those numbers represent the maximum amount the county could justifiably charge, not what it actually would charge. They said realtors took the figures out of context and spread them publicly through phone and radio. “I really take offense at the realtors,” commis-

sioner Becky Heron said. “Our board had really not meant to discuss any numbers.”

What the board did do was pay $57,500 to a consuiting firm, Tischler & Associates Inc., to prepare a study about the fees—which opponents said was a waste of taxpayer money.

They also argued that an across-the-board fee that ignores the magnitude of the cost of a housing development would be unfair. “$5,000 fees for houses and $3,000 fees for condos will eliminate a sector of the population that can afford homes,” argued Judd Barrett, speaking for 60 other people from the Research Triangle.

Many said they fear the impact fees would negatively affect the city’s growth. Barnette Crabtree, a Durham resident and builder, said imposing impact fees would cost between 1,700 and 2,400 home buyers, Liz Pullman, a Durham taxpayer since 1961, supported the impact fees, suggesting they fall not on the buyer, but on the developers. “Developers create a need for new schools; developers need to help pay for new See

North Carolina is at the forefront of the death penalty moratorium movement, according to local and national activists who convened at the annual conference of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty in Raleigh this past weekend.

NCADP Communications Director David Elliott said the conference’s location was appropriate because the state serves as the center of the nation’s moratorium movement. “[Questions of] racial equity, class equity, possible innocence and proportionality are all being debated across the U.S., but the debate is louder, more vibrant [and has] a richness in North Carolina that you don’t

find elsewhere,” Elliot said.

Seventy percent of North Carolinians would support a moratorium if potential death row inmates could receive a sentence of life without parole, according to a poll conducted by the News and Observer last year.

North Carolina currently leads the country with 14 municipalities that have passed resolutions calling for a moratorium.

In order to achieve its goal of a state moratorium, the movement lobbies legislators to vote against the death penalty on both the state and local levels.

“We’re going after legislators execution by execution, letting them know that people are being executed in our name and asking them, ‘ls this a fair system?”’ said Ted Frazer, a member of the Charlotte Coalition for a Moratorium Now. This summer, the movement scored a major victory in the state legislature with the passage of a ban on executions of the mentally retarded. Steve Dear, executive director of People of Faith Against the Death Penalty, applauded the new law, which is retroactive. “[The law] literally saves the lives of more than a dozen people on death row, and reflects a rising standard of decency,” he said.

Another law passed this summer allows prosecutors trying first-degree murder cases with aggravatSee MORATORIUM on page 10

Graduate Trustee Vehicle raided in the H-overflow lot committee named

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

The Graduate and Professional Student Council took the first official step last night in its selection of this year’s Young Trustee representative for graduate and professional students. The council finalized the eight-person Young Trustee Selection Committee by electing its chair as well as three committee members, who will fill spots vacated by the GPSC executive board officers that removed themselves to possibly apply for the position.

After the deadline for Young Trustee applications passes in November, the committee will examine all applications and narrow them to 10 candidates, whom it will then interview and again narrow to three to five candidates. Early next semester, GPSC as a whole will decide which finalists will become the new Young Trustee, the graduate students’ sole position on the Board of Trustees for a three-year term.

Young Trustee Selection Committee chair and GPSC Vice President David Ferguson, a divnity student, will be in charge of convening the committee and guiding it through the selection process. He said he is pleased with the diversity and experience of the eight-member group, which is evenly split between professional and graduate students and males and females. “It is a diverse group by study, which is the key [factor in a good committee],” Ferguson said. “It’s important because they will be able to feel out the applications, which come from various schools.”

As a rule, GPSC executive board members comprise the committee, but three declined to do so, since committee members are not eligible for the

Young Trustee position.

The three executive board members who abdicated their position on the committee were Will Tyson, a graduate student in sociology, Carol Chancey, a graduate student in biomedical engineering and Jack McNulty, a graduate student in genetics.

None of those officers have decided whether they will indeed apply for Young Trustee, Ferguson said.

In their place, four GPSC representatives ran for the positions on the committee; the three winners were graduate student Chrissie Merdes, third-year medical student Michael Bernstein and graduate

student Brian Sumner.

They will be joined by executive board members Ferguson, french student Elayne Heisler, cancer biology student Shannon Lemrow, law student Tyler Gellasch, environment student Tobin Freid, sociology student Megan Hay and computer science student Michail Lagoudakis.

Heisler, GPSC president, said the group will look for candidates who are knowledgeable, visionary and advocates, as well as able to work well in groups.

Iraq transports chemical Agencies work to provide weapons to safe bunkers food, medicine for Afghans

By JOHN LUMPKIN The Associated Press

Iraq is moving WASHINGTON some of its chemical weapons industry to underground bunkers, a U.S. government source said Monday.

Moving it into specially built bunkers could make it harder to find

and destroy, but the United States has designed bombs and other weapons specifically to blow up concealed, bunkered weapons of mass destruction.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, could not say how the bunker project was detected or provide other details immediately.

Some Bush administration officials, notably Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, have called for strikes on Iraq, but others want the war on terrorism to focus solely on Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida and Afghanistan.

U.S. intelligence has not obtained credible evidence linking Iraq to either the Sept. 11 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center or the ongoing anthrax scare.

“We have no illusions about Saddam Hussein, and his record of threats and assaults upon his own people, as well as neighboring countries, is very well known, as are his attempts to develop weapons of mass destruction,” State Department spokesperson Phil Reeker said Monday.

“We don’t put anything past [lraqi President] Saddam Hussein, but I don’t believe that there’s any clear linkage [to the anthrax attack] at this point.”

Iraq has rebuilt some of its capacity to make chemical weapons since the Persian GulfWar, and has the scientific expertise to produce such weapons on short notice, according to a Pentagon report released in January.

Saddam has long tried to hide his weapons production capacity. He had previously stockpiled mustard, tabun, sarin and VX chemical agents, says the report, “Proliferation; Threat and

Response.”

Information on Iraq’s weapons program has been sketchy since it expelled UN. weapons inspectors in 1998. The

country has also retained the scientific and engineering expertise for its

weapons programs.

The Iraqi military has used chemical weapons against Iran and Kurds in northern Iraq. A document found by UN. inspectors but seized by Iraqi officials suggested Saddam may have hidden an additional 6,000 weapons after the Gulf War. In addition, Iraq acknowledged in 1995 that it had produced 7,800 gallons of biological agents, including anthrax, botulism toxins and aflatoxins.

However, U.N. weapons inspectors said Iraq likely had produced three to four times more.

Iraq also said it had deployed munitions filled with biological agents to airfields to be used against Israel and coalition forces in Saudi Arabia, the report says.

It claimed all these weapons had been destroyed.

istan dominate.

Further, some of the international assistance that has kept drought-stricken Afghanistan more or less afloat over the last four years is still in place, and new supplies are being driven in by commercial Afghan truckers and smugglers eager to make money.

The executive director of the World

Food Program, Catherine Bertini, said Monday that her agency was delivering 900 tons of grain a day, and she was con-

fident this would be increased to 1,600 tons daily, which would put the agency close to meeting its goal of dispatching 52,000 tons offood a month.

An official of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Monday that the United Nations was beginning to plan for airlifts of food and medicine to Afghans in remote areas.

The Taliban confiscated more than 6,000 tons of World Food Program food in warehouses in Kabul and Kandahar last week, forcing the agency to truck food directly into remote village areas rather than stockpiling it in city centers, U.N. officials said.

The Taliban also hijacked about 90 U.N. vehicles last month. The Taliban leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, or-

dered them returned. But U.N. workers said Monday that only a handful of the looted trucks and cars had shown up.

For Daniel O’Neill, the president of Mercy Corps, who arrived here Monday from the United States to assess his group’s operations inside Afghanistan, the picture was better than he had anticipated. The corps’ network of 200 Afghan staff members was still working inside the country tending to children at clinics and inoculating livestock, he said.

“We were very pleasantly surprised

to find our staffalive and functioning as best they can,” O’Neill said after listening to reports from Afghan staff members at the Pakistani border. “Assistance is going forward. On the inside, supplies are going forward. None of our supplies have been taken.”

One of the most decisive turning points for those living in Kandahar appears to have been the flights ofthe AC130s, airplanes designed to level buildings that also make horrendous noise.

Afghans have lived through years of rocket-propelled grenades and shelling, but such close overhead air attacks were something new and mean in their vocabulary of war.

Word also soon spread, mainly through radio, of the landing of the American Special Forces overnight last Friday inKandahar, another action that scared civilians who believed that they might be killed or kidnapped, several Afghans who had spoken to people in Kandahar said.

quickly investigating the potential danger on Capitol Hill. Until this month, no cases of deadly, inhaled anthrax had been found in the United States since 1978.

So far, officials said, the only piece of mail found in Washington contaminated with anthrax is the one opened on Oct. 15 in the office of Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., the majority leader.

The Capitol, closed since Thursday, reopened Monday. But the Senate and House were not in session, and the congressional office buildings remained shut as technicians in white safety suits and masks scoured them in search of haz-

ardous materials.

Traces ofanthrax have been found in the separate mailrooms of the Senate and the House and in a mail sorting center on P Street Southeast, about 15 blocks from the Capitol.

The Senate and House announced plans to hold regular sessions Tuesday but to keep their office buildings, closed because environmental tests were not completed. Senators and representatives will be offered temporary office space in government buildings away from Capitol Hill.

Ridge said the assumption of the investigators who were blanketing the capital was that all the contamination here originated in that letter, but he said the authorities had not ruled out the possibility that other pieces of mail contained the potentially lethal bacteria.

Anthrax has not positively been diagnosed in the postal workers who died Monday, but Dr. David Satcher, the surgeon general, said, “It does seem highly probable that those two deaths were related to inhalation anthrax.”

The hospitals and government officials refused to disclose the names of the victims. Deborah Willhite, a senior vice president of the U.S. Postal Service, told reporters: “They and their families need your prayers. They do not need, at this point in time, your curiosity.”

The decision for Congress to meet was “an indication to the nation that the legislative business of the United States continues,” said Lt. Dan Nichols, a spokesperson for the Capitol Police.

While the deaths and serious illnesses were reported here, the principal focus of the criminal investigation remained in New Jersey, where the letter to Daschle and ones sent to NBC and The New York Post were postmarked.

Ridge repeated Monday that the strains of anthrax found in the three let-

ters were “indistinguishable,” suggesting they came from the same source.

If the two deaths here trim out to have been caused by anthrax, they will be the second and third this month. Robert Stevens, a photo editor at American Media in Boca Raton, Fla., died Oct. 5.

One of those who died Monday, a 47year-old man, arrived at the emergency room at Southern Maryland Hospital Center in suburban Prince George’s County at 5:45 a.m. The hospital released a statement saying, “The patient was put on a ventilator and died six hours later, despite aggressive antibiotic therapy and supportive care.”

The hospital said a blood sample taken by doctors at the hospital showed germs called bacillus, a family of more than 50 types of bacteria whose members include anthrax. Further tests to determine ifthe germs are, in fact, anthrax are being conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The man first went to the hospital Saturday after he collapsed in church.

Doctors saw nothing that suggested anthrax and sent him home with a diagnosis of the flu, The Associated Press reported. That decision was made at the hospital even though, according to Ridge, federal medical surveillance teams were “on the highest alert” for anthrax cases.

The other postal worker died at Greater Southeast Community Hospital in Washington. The hospital did not release information about the worker, but Dr. Ivan C.A. Walks, chief medical officer for the District of Columbia, said the victim was a man and that his blood cultures also were consistent with anthrax.

The two workers hospitalized with pulmonary anthrax are at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va. They are seriously ill and being treated aggressively with antibiotics, the authorities said.

One of them was identified Sunday as Leroy Richmond, 57. The other, who entered the hospital Monday, has not been identified.

Richmond worked in an area that dealt with express and priority mail, Willhite said. That raised the possibility of additional mail containing anthrax, since the Daschle letter went through normal mail channels.

Walks said 13 potential cases of anthrax, including the two who died and the two who are hospitalized, were under investigation in the District of Columbia.

Not all of these people necessarily worked at the Brentwood postal station, he said.

� IMPACT FEES from page 3 schools,” she said. Others objected that the developers would merely pass that cost on to buyers by raising prices.

Supporters argued that impact fees

are better than the possible alternative, a property-tax increase. “An impact fee is one-time,” said Lavonia Allison, chair of the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People. “Property tax is continuous and continues to go up.”

Proponents also stressed that the improvement in Durham’s quality of education outweighs the monetary burden.

They said Durham’s classrooms currently include 140 trailers, students are often assigned to lunch periods as early as 10 a.m. and as late as 2 p.m., and that some schools do not have enough books.

The commissioners explained that they will remain open to new methods of implementing impact fees, saying something does need to be done to alleviate the high density of students in public schools.

Commissioner Joe Bowser suggested ideas such as setting the fees on a percentage basis, or exempting programs like Habitat for Humanity.

The state Legislature earlier chose not to grant the county explicit authority to levy the fees, but county attorney Chuck Kitchen said the county would still be legally permitted to impose them.

County Manager Mike Ruffin said that the earliest vote on the issue will likely be in December.

Student Affairs administrators said that the crimes were a separate issue from the bar’s closing, and that they handled the situation like any other judicial violation. Universities are prevented by federal privacy laws from revealing details of students’ judicial violations.

“We don’t have conversations like that about student disciplinary actions because we’re governed by laws that prevent us from talking about allegations about students,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs.

She added that the administration would only notify the public of an incident if it 'affected the safety or security of the campus, and even then, circumstances and students’ names could be withheld.

Wasiolek could not comment or on other details ofthe case, but Hudson expressed confidence in the University’s handling ofthe matter. “I don’t believe it was intentionally kept quiet, but it’s a political matter, and there was a need to keep it quiet for a while before we knew what the true outcome would be,” Hudson said. “I have full confidence in the University and their decision with what to do in this case.

ment exacerbated the financial trouble.

“In the end, there was still the way the lease agreement was set up and the debt was to be paid out. The end was inevitable. This just made it happen a few years before its time,” Hudson said.

“Everything has worked out except for the closing of the Hideaway. The true loser was the student body.”

Jennifer Curfman, a junior and former manager of the Hideaway, said that the bar’s demise would not have been imminent without the embezzlement.

“Had this not happened, the Hideaway would be open,” Curfman said.

“The lease agreement was not fair and was not good business, but it would have stayed open until at least the end ofthe lease agreement.”

Neither the administration nor Hideaway owners made the embezzlement public in the spring, nor did they mention the incidents during repeated interviews about the closing of the bar.

versity’s Human Genome Center and Harvard University’s Bauer Center for Genomics Research are both well-established, while Duke is only beginning to shape its own genomics center.

Lange, who said the interdisciplinary nature of IGSP made it unique, said the slow pace of the initiative has not negatively affected Duke.

“In some areas, we’re probably ahead,” Lange said. “Our [Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy] is thriving ahead.... I think bioinformatics has really taken off. There’s a certificate in place, they’ve hired some su-

Williams and Lange noted that genomics research at the University should not mirror private pharmaceutical research. Private companies have competed, often successfully, with universities in the race to map the human genome and are both willing and able to spend more money on research and development.

“I think we need to compete by not trying to do what industry can do,” Lange said. “The things that are intellectually simpler and less complex....

Those are areas we should not be in because the industry can do better.”

However, Katharine Bartlett, dean

A statement by the government said Halaweh had been No. 1 one on a list of militants Israel had demanded the Palestinian Authority arrest.

A 19-year-old Palestinian police officer from Bethlehem died Monday from wounds suffered two days

earlier, doctors said.

Since the current round of violence began in September 2000, 704 people have been killed on the Palestinian side and 186 on the Israeli side.

Speaking to party activists in Tel Aviv, Sharon repeated his main demand, already rejected by the Palestinians, that militants who gunned down Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi Wednesday be handed over to Israel, “We are not willing to make any compromises concerning... a complete halt of terrorism, the dismantling of terror groups acting against us and the extradition of the killers of minister Zeevi and those who sent them,” Sharon said.

In Washington, State Department spokesperson Philip Reeker gave the harshest criticism yet of the incursions and the deaths of civilians. “Israel Defense Forces should be withdraw immediately from all Palestinian-controlled areas, and no further such incursions should be made,” Reeker said.

In a statement, the Prime Minister’s office said: “The murder of Rehavam Zeevi crossed the red line and Israel, as any democratic country is exerting its right to self defense and the defense of its citizens.”

Israeli media report a deep rift between Israel and the United States over the incursion, reflecting U.S. concern that Mideast violence could sabotage efforts to bring moderate Arab states into its anti-tefrorism coalition.

tive has hurt recruitment for GELP. Officials have not yet found a director for the center and are also searching for someone to head the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.

“We have candidates coming in at rapid order,” Williams said, adding that he would have less input in those searches. “There’s a high probability they could be filled before an institution director is selected.”

Clark Havighurst, William Neal Reynolds professor of law, is the law school’s representative on GELP’s steering committee. He said last month that the search is underway and that applications will close this month.

Vice Provost for Research Jim

Siedow, interim director for the bioinformatics center, said candidates are coming in every week for that center.

“It seemed we were kind ofmoribund when former [Dean of the School of Medicine] Ed Holmes left,” he said. “It has been hard to gain momentum.

Sandy’s made a lot of difference.”

Holmes left after only 18 months in September 2000, for a position at the University of California at San Diego.

Williams said searches for the Center of Human Disease Models and the Center for Genome Technology will take longer. With research linked more closely to the Medical Center, Williams said he and the new IGSP director will help select those directors.

Activists are now working to pass a law that would call for a day in court devoted to evaluating any potential racial motivation behind a local prosecutor’s decision to pursue the death penalty.

Defendants whose victims are white are 3.5 times more likely to receive a death sentence in the state, according to an April study conducted by two professors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In addition, Dear reported that three-quarters of the state’s executed are AfricanAmerican.

Moratorium supporters are also pursuing an execution ban for individuals convicted of a felonymurder, who were accessories to the murder.

Dear cited the Oct. 12 execution of David Junior Ward, convicted for the 1991 killing of a Greenville convenience store owner, as an example in which a “less culpable” offender was put to death while his partner received a life sentence. Dear blamed a disparity in resources for hiring legal defense as the cause of the different sentences.

“The most glaring problem with capital punishment is that those without the capital get the punishment,” Dear said.

Moratorium advocates stressed that because inequity still exists in the application of death sentences, their members do not all necessarily support the abolition of the death penalty.

“Even if you believe in [the death penalty] theoretically, you could not support how it’s being imposed,” said Marshall Dayan, president of PFADP.

Heels lose Chapman

The Duke women’s basketball team is holding an open house this evening for its fans. From 5 p.m. to 7 pm, the players will sign autographs, pose for pictures and hold practice.

On the day that the North Carolina football team returned to the Top 25, it learned it would lose Will Chapman for the rest of the season. The starting DT tore ligaments in his knee.

“After watching the tape, we had too many guys who just didn’t know what to do,” Franks said. “We were not in position.

We were not where we were supposed to be. Some of it I’m going to have to learn to accept because a lot of them are guys who haven’t played before.”

Franks feels the younger players on the field were not adequately prepared because they have missed practice time. “[The young playersl need to get as much practice as they can,” Franks said. “Some of them didn’t get as much practice as I would have liked last week. We had a few guys who were sick, and we have got some nagging injuries. We didn’t get a lot of practice time that would have been beneficial.”

Despite not having won a game this season, Franks is still confident in his younger players.

“They will get better and better,” Franks said. “I do know that. I do know that they’re good athletes. Once they learn what to do, what to expect [and] how to adjust, we’ll be fine. We’re moving where we want to, just not as fast.”

With all the growing pains being shown by the younger players, it has been tough for the seniors. But senior defensive end Chris Porter is not feeling sorry for himself.

“It makes me think about my days as a freshman, and knowing how hard it is,” Porter said. “It’s very depressing not winning a game in 18 tries, but in that situa-

tion, you look for your coach’s help and guidance. They’ve been there for us.”

Franks also feels for his older players.

“I have a great deal of frustration for our older players,” Franks said. “I wish that they didn’t have to go through this.

When there’s not that many of them, it’s tough on them.”

Porter feels that a win would do wonders for the Duke football program.

“There are no words to explain how important it is to win one game,” Porter said.

“Everybody wants to win. We want to win, our fans want to win, our friends want to win. That’s what we’re concentrating on.”

Both Porter and Franks feel confident that Vanderbilt will give the Blue Devils

win number one.

“Watching film today, I feel as though we have a great opportunity ahead of us this weekend,” Porter said. “We go into each game thinking we have the opportunity to win, but Vanderbilt especially. I think we match up well against them.”

Franks is also very enthused about the game.

“It’s going to be one heck of a football game,” Franks said. “I guarantee you Vanderbilt feels the exact same way, and there’s no reason they shouldn’t. We better make sure we know what we’re going to do, and come out with some intensity. I guarantee Vanderbilt is looking at this [game] as one they can win.”

The team is in better spirits playing against a comparable foe, as opposed to a team like Maryland.

“We’re more enthusiastic coming into this week,” Porter said.

Kickoff against Vanderbilt is at 1:00 p.m. Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium.

This year’s ACC Championships will be crucial for Kelly.

He will be expected to pace Duke as well as defend his own ACC Championship title.

“Of course he’s going to pace the team because he’s the best guy,” Ogilvie said. “And it’s not even like it’s close. He’s by far the best guy on the team.”

At the ACC meet, Kelly will face two runners who are equal to, if not better than, himself. These men are AllAmerican Chris Dugan, a senior from N.C. State, and Nathan Sisco, a junior, from No. 14 Wake Forest.

The team is ranked 17th nationally going into the ACC Championships this Saturday Clemson, S.C. “Sean has the experience that no one else on the team Ogilvie said. “He’s been to the NCAA Championships, he’s won an ACC individual title. He’s certainly one of 'tter cross country runners in America right now, and by example. He works harder than anybody else ;’s why he’s really good. He’s definitely the backbone

Yankees return to World Series with win over M’s

By JOSH DUBOW

The Associated Press

The 12 NEW YORK Yankees made a liar Mariners 3 out ofLou Piniella.

The American League championship series never made it back to Seattle, as the Mariners manager promised, thanks to a 12-3 victory in Game 5 Monday night that gave the Yankees a chance to win their fourth straight World Series.

“I have never been prouder of a group of men in my life,” manager Joe Torre told his team. “Whatever motivates us, I know the ‘NY 1 on your cap had a lot to Yankees

do with it. This ballclub will be remembered by me forever.”

MVP Andy Pettitte took a shutout into the seventh inning, Bernie Williams and Paul O’Neill homered and the Yankees put the bumbling Mariners

away early.

Next up for New York is Game 1 of the World Series against aces Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson and the

Arizona Diamondbacks at Bank One

Ballpark on Saturday night; The Yankees jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the third inning—thanks to third baseman David Bell’s error and Williams’ third homer in as many days.

The rest was just a formality as the Yankees brought a swift ending to

Seattle’s record-tying 116-win season and won their 38th pennant.

“You need a different hero every night,” Derek Jeter said. “Fortunately we have 25 heroes.”

A team that looked old and tired in the first two games in the opening round against Oakland staged an improbable rally. One home run swing away from being swept, the Yankees showed a resiliency that endeared them more than ever to their fans in this shaken city.

“Down 2-0 to one of the best clubs in baseball, you never, never, never doubted yourselves,” Torre said in toasting his team. “This city needed something like this. We needed something like this.”

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was among the 56,370 fans cheering Torre’s Yankees so loudly the stadium shook.

The celebration was a wonderful distraction from the heartache and devastation endured by this city following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

“I think it’s as emotional as I’ve ever heard it at Yankee Stadium,” Giuliani

said. “This year I have to say the emotion adds something extra to it.”

After Shane Spencer’s sliding catch ended the game, Giuliani and Torre walked arm in arm to the mound to congratulate the celebrating players.

The Yankees of Derek Jeter, Williams and Pettitte became the first team since their predecessors in 1960-64—led by Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Whitey Ford—to win four straight pennants.

There was no more tough talk to come from Piniella on this night. All he could do was stare at the field and pop his chewing gum while the Yankees romped around the bases.

After two straight losses at Safeco Field to open the series, a defiant Piniella made a promise his team couldn’t keep—that the ALCS would return to Seattle for Game 6.

“First of all, I won’t say it again,” Piniella said. ‘You live and learn. I just had confidence in my team. That was it.”

Piniella looked like a prophet after Seattle’s 14-3 Game 3 win Saturday. But the Mariners lost in the ninth inning on Sunday and they let him down again in the clincher. After becoming the first team in 53 years to lead the league in batting average, fielding and ERA, the Mariners could do nothing right.

Seattle committed one error, let three flyballs fall in front of outfielders for hits and threw a run-scoring wild pitch in one of its sloppiest games of the year.

After Tino Martinez’s three-run homer in the eighth inning, the fans chanted: “No Game 6! No Game 6!”—as if Piniella and the Mariners didn’t know

that already.

“The one thought that did come to my mind strangely enough is this city had suffered a lot and let out a lot of emotion,” Piniella said. “I felt good for them. I really did. That’s a strange thought from a manager” who was getting whipped badly.

The Mariners joined baseball’s only other 116-win team as a postseason dud. The 1906 Chicago Cubs lost the World Series to the crosstown White Sox in six games.

“The amazing thing about baseball is no matter how many games you win, unless you win the World Series you’re going to feel disappointment,” Piniella said.

ALCS from page 14 The Yankees showed a bit oftheir own bravado, not bringing their suitcases to the stadium for a crosscountry flight that never took off.

“We wanted to be confident,” Pettitte said. “We wanted to get it done tonight.”

Seattle’s best shot in the game came in the first inning after Mike Cameron reached on a one-out double that third baseman Scott Brosius appeared to lose sight of in the red-white-and-blue background of bunting hanging over the stands.

But with two outs, Edgar Martinez hit a soft liner to left field that Chuck Knoblauch made a shoe-top catch on to save a run. It was Knoblauch’s miss on a similar play that turned Game 3 in Seattle’s favor.

The fielding play that turned this game came in the third inning, when the sure-handed Bell misplayed Brosius’ grounder leading off the inning for an error.

Alfonso Soriano, whose ninth-inning homer won Game 4, lined a single to center field off Aaron Sele.

After a sacrifice bunt, Jeter hit a sacrifice fly to give New York the lead and David Justice followed with an RBI double.

Williams then hit a drive toward the monuments in left-center—where Yankee greats from past dynasties are honored—for his 16th postseason homer to make the score 4-0.

O’Neill, likely in his final days before retirement, hit his second homer of the series to make it 5-0 in the fourth and that was more than enough for Pettitte.

Pitching with his hat pulled tight over his steely eyes, Pettitte held Seattle scoreless until Bell’s tworun single in the seventh inning cut New York’s lead to 9-2.

Pettitte allowed three rims and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings to improve to 10-5 in the postseason. More importantly, the Yankees won for the 17th time in Pettitte’s 22 postseason starts.

The Yankees tacked on four runs in a sloppy sixth when flyballs fell in front of Cameron in center field and Jay Buhner in right for hits. Joel Pineiro also threw a run-scoring wild pitch.

Notes: Torre joined John McGraw (New York Giants 1921-24), Joe McCarthy (Yankees 1936-39) and Casey Stengel (Yankees 1949-53 and 1955-58) as the only managers to win four straight pennants....

Williams trails Jim Thome (17), Mantle (18) and Reggie Jackson (18) on the all-time postseason homer list.... Sele dropped to 0-6 in his postseason career with five losses to the Yankees, &

.—ss Letters to the editor

Evaluating evaluations The University wrongly permits professors, departments and schools to hold back course evaluation data from students students should welcome the news that the Arts and Sciences Council finally allowed some evaluation data to be displayed online, the system of disseminating this data is far from perfect. Inconsistency in openness across courses hampers efforts to provide the students with complete information about these classes.

In particular, the council failed to mandate that all departments display the evaluations for all professors and all courses. Instead the group unacceptably allowed itself to be swayed by several gun-shy faculty. These professors were, at best, concerned students would use the system to find easier courses but perhaps selfishly fearful of seeing themselves evaluated in public.

The concern that some students will use the evaluations for wrong reason bears a shadow of validity. But even so, distributing this information has great value. Outside of course evaluations, students are usually stuck choosing their courses based on word of mouth and the short paragraph description listed on ACES. One student’s related experience may be highly atypical from the rest of the class. Course evaluations simply provide a more empirical view of a class than rumor.

If professors fear that course evaluations do not provide a complete picture, they are correct, but the proper response to this problem is to realize that, without course evaluations, students choose courses with even less information.

Instead, the faculty should mandate that course evaluations be posted for all classes and encourage instructors to explain their evaluation numbers. Students will appreciate this effort at it adds a key perspective to the information they have available in choosing their classes. Such explanations would supplement the course synopsis webpages. Currently, some professors do provide more information than the standard blurb, and such pages are very helpful in letting students know what they are getting into. Professors should always be filling these forms out, and those who are not, certainly should not be complaining that course evaluations are imprecise.

As the methods of distributing information change, so do the means of collecting it. The council recently changed and improved the end-of-semester evaluation forms. Unfortunately, some faculty members were arrogant enough to believe that they should not be required to hand out these evaluations forms. Student feedback is always highly valuable, for other students, for the department and especially for the teachers themselves to consider how well they are actually communicating the knowledge they are charged with explaining.

Still, the Pratt School of Engineering has yet to consider posting course evaluation results online. This is something that Duke Student Government should not have overlooked in their years of campaigning for course evaluations for Trinity College students. Now DSG, Engineering Student Government and the school’s faculty should turn their attention to providing access to this information.

PPS facilitates stimulating intellectual environment of fall 2000, public policy was one ofthe three most popular majors at Duke. The inaccuracies in Zimmerman’s column go on and on—from technicalities such as attributing tools of policy analysis taught in PPS 55 to PPS 114 and claiming a false lack of security policy classes to more substantial issues like the claim that the institute was training bureaucrats, not leaders. This outlandish remark is particularly disturbing. First, I encourage Zimmerman to enroll in one of Tony Brown or Alma Blount’s legendary leadership classes.

But beyond that, it is important to recognize that PPS classes are more than just venues for facts to be imparted and then memorized and regurgitated. Instead, they to reconcile his unsubstantiatare avenues for analytical ed claim with the fact that, as skills training, ethical inquiry

reading After John Zimmerman’s Oct. 11 critique of the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, I can’t help but feel sorry for him. Somehow he has managed to arrive at his fourth year at this University without learning how to write a proper argument. A quick analysis of Zimmerman’s column —something I learned how to do effectively in one of my many PPS classes—reveals one particularly disturbing flaw: It lacks any evidence to support his many claims. Claims that, with a little bit of research, are easily seen to be false.

Zimmerman begins by stating that eager freshmen in PPS classes quickly get discouraged and drop out. What Zimmerman doesn’t do is try for referenced column,

and character development. It is that unfortunate Zimmerman’s experience has

not been as fulfilling as mine and that ofmany others.

The Sanford Institute of Public Policy is nationally with distinrecognized, guished professors that succeed in creating an intellectually stimulating environment. It is, in Zimmerman’s own words, a “true treasure.”

Zimmerman concludes his column by stating that unless reforms are instituted, Sanford will remain “a waste of students’ time and Duke’s money.” I believe the only money being wasted is Zimmerman’s, for he evidently has not learned much during his time here at Duke.

Flying in less than friendly skies People’s perceptions have been altered by Sept. 11 attacks

Now I don t claim to be the best-lookmg guy in the world; vanity is one of the few vices I have left unscathed. That being said, 1 never imagined mat my pnys1 ig ical appearance would Jp#. such reac'Vf ewer inspire .xjtspi tions as I received while .

traveling this fall break. I � knew the Abdullah prospect of flying was a A i risky one indeed. It had A1 Arian been a month since I had left campus for any considerable length of time, and an airport was perhaps not the smartest place to go. I had heard about instances of “Middle-Eastern-looking” people harassed at airports, thrown off of airplanes or just treated badly, but I had no idea what to expect myself.

Upon entering the airport, I decided to stay as alert as possible and notice anything out of the ordinary, including people’s reactions to my presence. It is certainly possible that my apprehension got the best of me, allowing my imagination to roam free, as I anticipated the worst. “Take your American passport,” my friends advised me beforehand, although I would not be leaving the country. The looks I received from my fellow travelers cannot be adequately described. They were looks of uncomfortable recognition, looks that seemed to say more than words ever could. As I waited in line, I felt the many eyes in the room follow me all the way to the ticket counter. It was the feeling of someone on stage and not knowing his lines. I searched for a behavior type that would ease the tension and alleviate their worries but could not manage more than a nervous smile. I avoided eye contact, “but wait, that is suspicious behavior,” I told myself. “Look at them, for God’s sake... No, don’t stare, that’s even worse.” Thus went the two hours prior to boarding.

harass me as much as I had anticipated, but the sight of fully armed soldiers was enough to send chills down my spine, just as it had probably laid to rest many of the other passengers’ fears.

After boarding the plane, things T got worse. Apprehensive glares, only some of them quite angry in their own right, followed me to my seat. I helped an elderly woman stow her bags away, and she asked me for my name. I hesitated for a while before I told her. The eyes came back on me at once. “They should get him out of here,” said one man, just loud enough for me to hear.

At that point, something came over me. I felt that I had to prove myself, not only to them, but to my own wounded sense of belonging. I smiled at the girl across the aisle, commenting on her history book and did so in perfect English, to the amazement of many around me. She proceeded to introduce herself, as did I. To her and many others’ surprise, I did not come from any place exotic or dangerous, although Florida is one of the more culturally diverse states, and our crime rate is nothing to boast. As our conversation continued, I felt the trep-

idation gradually reduce itself, and the awkward collective silence was broken in the crackling of airline peanuts.

As much as it troubles me to say it, I could not fault the passengers for their reactions. In some ways, I felt more empathy with them than any real anger. We have all suffered a great loss, whether of life, property, security and ultimately, innocence itself. My real anger is still directed toward those responsible for our dismal state of affairs. My heart, which has thus far known no hatred for any human being could suddenly justify such feelings because no human being, in the true sense of the term, could possibly be capable of such deeds. And yet that

Media self-censorship: Why we should care In light of our “war on terror,” the news media are showing increasing signs of self-censorship. But why are they doing it—and does this threaten democracy?

On all the news programs and websites, our current conflict dominates— the CNN website especially, which is no longer headed “CNN News,” but the special report “America Strikes Back,” regardless ofthe negative pop-cultural implications (Secretary of Defense Edward Donald Rumsfeld is Darth Vader?).

Benson Throughout the media, stories not to our related “new war” have practically vanished The most striking example: the 2000 presidential balloting in Florida. That story, the single biggest of last year, was historic: The presidency was won by George W. Bush by a solitary electoral vote, but only if Florida’s 25 votes were lost by A1 Gore. Democrat Gore’s attempt to get selective recounts done in counties where ballots were confusing was upheld by the (majority Democratic) Florida Supreme Court. But that count was blocked by the (normally states’-rights) Republican majority ofthe U.S. Supreme Court, giving the presidency to the Republican Bush. It was a great story: the most powerful elected office in the world, conniving on both sides, clear conflicts of interest all over the place and a willful disregard for precedent up and down the judiciary. It was a mess and high drama.

In the aftermath, several major media outlets (The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN and others) decided to contract with the highly reputable, non-partisan National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago to analyze exhaustively the ballots from Florida.

Last Saturday, a tiny article buried in our local news-

paper revealed that the analysis is now done—and the news organizations involved “put the whole project on hold.” A seven-figure budget and months of research have just stopped. The findings will not be released.

Perhaps this is a vast conspiracy, designed to shield us from the truth at this tumultuous time, to avoid

news, or as background, analysis or prediction. The media cannot let up, especially as rapidly developing stories get momentum that compels both more interest and more coverage. This means continuous pressure on the media to produce new information, no matter how sketchy or misleading or biased, as long as those undercutting President Bush’s authority? shortcomings are somehow defensible (“sources say,” Could be. “unconfirmed reports,” “we believe”).

But Bush is president (if for no other reason than So the evident self-censorship in the media may that Gore had to concede). The analysis could help to not in fact be due to any deliberate conspiracy, rightbolster Bush’s standing, or at least help us to remedy wing or otherwise. It may simply be the result of marflaws in our system. Coverage of the most important ket pressures, forcing the media to focus on the curstory of last year could be a good thing. So, more like- rent meal-ticket. ly, the media decision to kill that story is about money.
