Two years after the implementation of Curriculum 2000, administrators say most students are on track to meet their graduation requirements.

Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson based that assessment on data analysis completed over the summer. He said more than 50 percent of sophomores have taken one class I wV in each area of knowledge and that 47 percent of students in the past two graduating classes would have fulfilled every Curriculum 2000 requirement.

Chapel Hill police plan tighter Halloween restrictions Regulations could lessen traditional crowd

FRANKLIN STREET party-goers celebrate Halloween last year.

lltSidO

Candidates for Durham City Council squared off at a forum Monday night, discussing issues ranging from small business loans to education. See*page 3

Fifty thousand costumed revelers flooded the streets of downtown Chapel Hill last Halloween, as they have for the past 20 years. This year, tighter regulations may lead some to find other places to celebrate.

In an Oct. 4 press release, the Chapel Hill Police Department outlined its concerns about the excessive crowd, and the toll it has taken on the town. This Halloween, revelers can expect minimal parking, limited road access and at least 100 more law enforcement officers.

Jane Cousins, spokesperson for CHPD, said the tighter restrictions stem from resident complaints and safety concerns.

“Residents are tired of people parking on their lawns and littering in their yards,” Cousins said.

The police department has notified area residents and businesses and asked for feedback.

“We’ve had a very positive response [to the announcement] so far,” Cousins added.

The goals of the new limits are to make the Halloween celebration a smaller, more j oca } even£ an( } minimize inconvenience to residents, Cousins said.

Graduate students can now take advantage of a new series of courses that helps them teach using more technology. See page 4

Some Duke students, many of whom travel to Chapel Hill each year, said they would appreciate more security, citing previous negative experiences on Halloween.

Sophomore Rose Acoraci, for example, said she doubted she will go back to Chapel Hill this year.

She said she enjoyed seeing the costumes last year, but that she was less than impressed by crowd control and the lack of parking.

To solve the parking dilemma, senior Vik Devisetty, president of Campus Council, hoped both this year and last to offer bus service to Chapel Hill, but the plan failed due to lack of support.

Even though security has been increasing at large events across the country in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Cousins said the tighter regulations were already planned beforehand. She said the issue has become even more important to residents in recent weeks.

“The events of Sept. 11 have influenced people’s thoughts and actions more than they have influenced our policies, as far as I can see,” Cousins said.

Duke students do not appear to be worried about terrorist attacks in deciding whether See HALLOWEEN on page 6 �

Northern alliance plans major offensive

By STEVEN GUTKIN

The Associated Press BAGRAM, Afghanistan With the front lines in Afghanistan largely unchanged despite U.S. airstrikes, opposition commanders insisted Monday they plan a major offensive—but said it could not succeed without stepped up American attacks to break down Taliban defenses.

There were signs the United States was willing to increase attacks on Taliban forces. Strikes on the northern front entered their second week Monday with thunderous explosions and blinding streaks of light in the skies over this battle zone north of the capital.

The opposition northern alliance has barely advanced here or at the key northern city of Mazar-eSharif to the northwest. Opposition commanders have welcomed stepped-up bombing over the past week, but say more is needed.

If youVe ever gotten your food before you finished ordering...

In Washington, Pentagon spokesperson Victoria Clark said Monday the U.S. military extended its bombing toward the Afghan border with Tajikistan, where Taliban troops are preventing opposition forces from reaching

Mazar-e-Sharif.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld rejected criticism the United States was not doing enough to help the alliance, saying Washington was eager for an opposition advance against the Taliban.

‘We are anxious to have all the forces on the ground move forward and take whatever they can take away from the Taliban and the al-Qaida,” he said at the Pentagon.

“Our hope is that they will work their way into the major cities and the major airports.”

During a Pentagon briefing, Rumsfeld said airdrops of ammunition to opposition fighters have begun and coordination of targets has become more effective.

Council hopefuls debate at forum

By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

This summer’s scandal over small business loan allocation sparked debate between City Council hopefuls at a forum sponsored by the Herald-Sun of Durham Monday night.

Ward 1 candidates Cora Cole-McFadden and Jeffery White, Ward 2 candidates Howard Clement and Michael Peterson, and Ward 3 candidates John Best and Erick Larson had an opportunity to respond to audience

questions on key city issues.

Several audience questions concerned the City Council’s responsibility to manage taxpayer funds. One question addressed the Council’s plans regarding fiscal mismanagement, especially small business loan funds—some of which have come under federal investigation. Although all candidates supported an audit and investigation of missing funds, there was disagreement as to how much the City Council itselfwas to blame.

‘We have to make this city fiscally responsible,” White argued. He said whoever had mismanaged the funds should pay the consequences.

Best used his experience as a small business owner to demonstrate his perspective on the situation. “If the government comes in and wants to see our records, and we don’t show them, we get thrown in jail,” Best said.

But Larson contended that audits of the missing funds were not the responsibility of the City Council, though he supported investigating them anyway. “We were trying to do the best job that we could,” Larson said. He also cited the numerous positive effects of past

loans, including newly paved roads.

Candidates also addressed issues of growth and development within Durham. Peterson accused Clement of “rubber-stamping all that the developers want.”

Clement said he supported any zoning or building or-

dinance that met the approval of planners employed by the city and county.

Another audience member asked the candidates whether they supported the city’s ability to annex See CANDIDATES on page 8

Duke celebrates Latino heritage

By MELISSA LENTZ The Chronicle

As the Latino community and the student group Mi Gente organize Latino Heritage Month, students are celebrating the Latino culture and the recent strides made by the community.

This year marks the third annual celebration ofLatino Heritage Month on campus, as well as Mi Gente’s 10th anniversary. The month of cultural education and exploration began Oct. 15 andruns through Nov. 15.Although it is traditionally observed in September and October, organizers said this year’s celebration required more planning,delaying the event’s start.

“This month provides the invaluable opportunity to educate others while exploring our personal development. Within our Latino population we share many similarities and many differences. For instance, the Mexican, the Puerto Rican and the Cuban have so much they can teach one another while strengthening ties to our community as a whole,” said senior Cris Rivera, co-president of Mi Gente.

The month encompasses an eclectic calendar ofpolitical, cultural and social events. Activities so far have in-

eluded a dinner and discussion about Latino stereotypes with Pi Kappa Alpha, a faculty interaction dinner, and a joint conference among students from Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. Also planned are a Nov. 3 community service event, the Nov. 10 social event Bachata Latina, and a Nov. 12 political forum entitled, “Labels: What it means to be Hispanic/Latino/Latina,” moderated by Walter Mignolo, director of the Institute for Global Studies in the Humanities.

“The forum will raise some political questions on Latino identity and race and how all this relates to our place in society,” senior Jessica Clough, Mi Gente’s political chair, wrote in an e-mail.

One specific goal of the month is relationship expansion outside of Mi Gente. Organizers are focusing on drawing a diverse group of people on campus to the events, to share their culture and to learn from others.

“We are really concentrating this year on developing new relationships within the campus and community,” Rivera said. “By involving greeks, faculty, employees, other universities and local See LATINO on page 8 �

They’re more amenable to adopting these things,” Murphy said. He added that many resources besides GS3OI are available at CIT for graduate students, including one-on-one training workshops of various kinds and specialized

The major component of this goal is a new course, GS3OI Instructional Uses of Technology, sponsored by the Center for Instructional Technology. Free, noncredit and open to all university graduate students, the course—being taught regularly throughout the year—consists of four workshops: Introduction to Using Technology in Graduate Teaching, Developing and Using Course Web Pages, Using Technology to Enhance Class Presentations and Interactivity and equipment.

FCJL confronts CHPD aims to make Oct. 31 safe financial trouble � HALLOWEEN from page 1 or not to brave the crowds. Chris Chandler, a junior, said jokingly that bioterrorism could be the biggest safety concern. Others cited weather, parking and getting separated from friends as larger worries.

However, the lure of Halloween in Chapel Hill seems to be in the tradition more than the event itself—many students said they were disappointed by their experiences. “I haven’t been to Chapel Hill

on the beaten path—you have to make plans to go there,” she said. “At one point, we were naive enough to think that we would not only break even but make some money on our kosher dining facility.”

Freshman Maital Gutmann said the Freeman Center and the kosher kitchen, specifically, play an important role in her life at Duke.

“I wouldn't have come to Duke if they didn't have the Freeman Center and the kosher meal plan,” she said. “[lf the kitchen closed,] it definitely would be a problem. It is a place I can go and I can get a good meal, not just a kosher meal, but a good meal.”

Ruderman said that for the past three years, the center has been able to fall back on reserves that were established when the FCJL opened, but now, the center has to look at more permanent solutions.

Many of those solutions appear to lie in more aggressive fundraising. Kaplan added the center is attempting to build an endowment, in order to avoid financial difficulties and develop a stronger development plan for the center.

“There’s a lot of solutions,” he said. “One is we need more aggressive fundraising, and that requires cooperation of all the stake holders of the Freeman Center. We need to get our message out more: A—that we exist, B—the services and C—where our money comes from.”

Senior Brian Fried, president of the FCJL’s student board, said he, along with other students, hopes to more vocally rally support for the center from the University community and private donors.

“We’re planning on talking with administrators,”

Federal health officials said that tens of thousands of Americans were now taking antibiotics to guard against anthrax infection and that from now on an older medicine, doxycycline, would be recommended instead of Cipro, a drug whose patent is controlled by the German pharmaceutical company

Bayer AG.

Law enforcement authorities have developed a range of theories to explain the spread of anthrax along the Eastern seaboard, but they said they still had no idea who sent the potentially deadly bacteria through the mail or how many letters might have been sent.

Fried said.

“The main issue is the fact that the vast majority of the Freeman Center’s budget is still donations from alumni and friends,” he added.

Fried also said cutting kosher kitchen services has been mentioned as one possibility for reducing deficits.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said he expected the FCJL to remain entirely privately funded, although he said the University will continue to provide guidance. He noted that the Freeman Center is a department within the Division of Student Affairs and that Kaplan is a member of his staff.

Moneta served on the University of Massachusetts Hillel board for 10 years and said he understands the issues with which the FCJL is dealing.

“The Freeman Center is facing very similar kinds of financial challenges that many institutions like Hillels do across the nation,” he said.

Ruderman said she remains optimistic the FCJL can continue to operate.

for Halloween since my freshman year because it was so chaotic,” said senior Catherine Jacobs.

“I might go this year just to be nostalgic, and it would be great if I didn’t feel like I was drowning in a sea of people.”

Ameliorating that drowning feeling is exactly what CHPD hopes to do. Cousins said that making guests feel safe and protecting residents’ privacy are the primary concerns of the department.

Military and government officials said Monday that the commando raid into Afghanistan 10 days ago had failed to produce significant intelligence on the Taliban militia or on al-Qaida. The raid, on a compound outside of Kandahar, the base city of the Taliban, disappointed Pentagon officials because they had hoped it would yield information on the location and operations of Taliban and al-Qaida leaders.

Before Monday’s terrorism alert was issued, President George W. Bush called the first meeting of his Homeland Security Council, made up of top officials involved in anti-terrorism matters, and announced the creation of a “foreign terrorist tracking force” to crack down on potential terrorists from abroad who are in the United States.

No new confirmed cases of anthrax were announced Monday. As matters now stand, inhaled anthrax, a serious and sometimes fatal illness, has been diagnosed in eight people—two employees of American Media Inc., a tabloid newspaper company in Florida, and six postal workers. Three of these people have died, one has been released from the hospital and four are hospitalized in serious condition.

Ashcroft and Mueller spoke briefly to reporters in the auditorium at the Justice Department and had no suggestions about what Americans should do in response to the new warning except to exercise “vigilance.”

“We have decided to share with the American people that we have alerted law enforcement,” Ashcroft said.

“We think this gives people a basis for continuing to live their lives the way they would otherwise live them, with this elevated sense of alertness or vigilance.”

A reporter asked the officials whether they were concerned about crying wolf—that if no attack occurred this time, Americans might not take the alerts seriously next time.

Americans, Ashcroft replied, should not be lulled

“into a false sense ofindifference.”

He added, “It’s important for the American people to understand that these are to be taken seriously, but by taking them seriously on a continuing basis, we can have the good outcome of avoiding very serious additional terrorist problems.”

After the alert Oct. 11, police authorities around the country complained that the warning was far too vague to help them and served mainly to drain manpower from other urgent tasks.

Mueller seemed to speak to those complaints Monday night. “I know how difficult it is,” he said, for “state and local officers out there to respond

without greater detail.”

Still, he added, “I believe it is advisable to alert law enforcement and local authorities as to what knowledge we have received. We are asking them and, through them, local communities to remain extremely vigilant. Doing so gives us a force multiplier that could well prevent another terrorist attack.”

Counter-terrorism officials said that the issue of whether to issue an alert was discussed Monday at a meeting which included representatives from the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security Council and other agencies.

The threat offurther al-Qaida violence was based

on information thad came from overseas and was obtained by a U.S. intelligence agency, one government official said.

The discussion at the meeting centered in part on the wisdom of issuing an opaque warning balanced

against the risk of unduly alarming the public and overtaxing state and local law enforcement agencies without providing any specifics about the possible nature of the danger or location of an attack.

The information, like that on which the earlier

warning was based, was taken seriously because it came from an intelligence source that has proved reliable in the past, officials said, and therefore could

not be lightly dismissed.

Like the intelligence that led to the earlier threat advisory, the information behind Monday’s alert stood out from the stream of threats and warnings received by law enforcement and intelligence agencies each day, the officials said. Those threats often include highly specific information, but are almost always determined to be false.

Council candidates debate Heritage month includes city’s ability to annex land community service element � CANDIDATES from page 3 areas without the approval of citizens of that area.

Larson and Clement both supported the city’s right to add neighboring territory, contending it was the only way to efficiently coordinate public works and services in light of suburban growth.

However, other candidates disagreed.

“If an area wants to be on its own, they have that right,” said White, adding residents should vote on any proposed an-

nexations.

A 1950s North Carolina law permits cities to annex land outside their limits without the vote of their residents.

Peterson contended the city’s recent annexation of low-crime areas was the reason that Durham’s overall crime rate

has decreased. He said that criminal activity within other areas of Durham had stayed at past levels or even increased.

Clement said this accusation was false.

Candidates also offered their views on education and the living wage ordinance.

Cole-McFadden called for more afterschool activities and increased vocational education within public schools.

All the candidates voiced their support for the city’s standing living wage policy, which dictates that the city pay its employees at least the minimum amount that is deemed livable. However, some candidates opposed applying the living wage policy to the private sector. “[A better] way of helping businesses and wTages [in Durham] is to low T er taxes,” said Best.

LATINO from page 3

Durham residents, we hope to share our culture and encourage others to join us in celebration.”

To involve Durham residents, sophomore David Salguero, Mi Gente’s community service chair, is leading the community service event. He said that adding an event that includes more than justpeople from the University helps to erase dividing lines in the Latino community.

“We are trying to pick a project that will create an impact in the community,” Salguero said. “We have done a lot of great work with the middle schools in the area, helping Spanish-speaking children triumph over the language barrier. Through this project, we hope to bridge the gap between our isolated

campus and the neighboring area.”

The month of festivities also aims to shed light on current Latino issues on campus. Julian Sanchez, director of the Office of Intercultural Affairs, emphasized the support of President Nan Keohane and Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson for their work with the Latino community. This is the second ofthree semesters that will include a course specifically focused on Latino life in America.

“The administration and faculty have shown continued support to the Latino community,” Sanchez said. “Latinos have made great strides in recent years, but recognize that more needs to be done in engaging Latino faculty members, developing a Latino studies program and increasing Latino enrollment.”

Curriculum 2000 leads to increased Spanish enrollment CURRICULUM from page 1 In addition, fulfilling the science, technology and society mode of inquiry has raised concerns. Under Curriculum 2000, students are required.io take two STS courses and two W courses beyond Writing 20. Recognizing the need for more STS and writing classes, the University has been focusing its development in those areas.

Despite these efforts, some professors question the way the STS requirement has been implemented. “[The biology department’s! major objection is that the [ideas embodied in] science, technology and society that are built into the major are not recognized by the curriculum,” said lecturer Ron Grunwald, associate director of undergraduate studies in biology. “Biology majors who are getting tremendous exposure to [these issues] are still required to take two [STS-designated] courses.”

Although the biology department has tried to have courses recognized as STS, these requests have been denied. Grunwald worries that students may be forced to satisfy STS in their social science courses, limiting their opportunities to take more preferred social science courses.

Additionally, science and math departments have designated some classes as writing courses in order to accommodate students who need to fulfill the writing requirement.

“Now we have [several] required courses for the major that are considered writing in the discipline, and that will certainly help,” said professor Stephanos Venakides, director of undergraduate studies in math.

“We’re at a phase where we are looking at courses to see how T we can structure the program better.”

Grunwald also said another difficulty for science students could be the foreign language requirements, which may conflict with the need to take math and science introductory courses.

Because of the curriculum changes, foreign language departments anticipated an influx of students since students could no longer exempt any area of knowledge. En-

“There’s no denying [Curriculum 2000] has increased enrollment,” said instructor Melissa Simmermeyer, assistant director of the Basic Spanish Language Program, who added that most lowerlevel Spanish classes are entirely full.

“The avalanche has hit this semester, particularly in intermediate [classes].”

In other departments, however, the anticipated

increase has yet to materialize.

pected to see—we’re not sure when it is going to hit.”

Student reaction to Curriculum 2000 has been varied—some said it has been difficult to balance the numerous requirements with their other academic goals.

Sophomore Junior Gonzales said the difficulty of Curriculum 2000 depends on students’ majors.

“It’s really hard, [especially since] I’m pre-med and was in FOCUS.” Other students support Curriculum 2000 but think the requirements are too rigid.

“I’m a double major, so there’s not a lot of room for other classes,” said Emma Batchelder, a sophomore. “I think [the curriculum is] a good idea, but [the University] went too far with it.”

Deßoo wins Southeast Regional Championships

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

New school, new outlook, new results.

That’s the best way to describe the early progress of Duke tennis player Julie Deßoo, who transferred at the beginning of the school year from Ole Miss and won the Omni Hotels Region Southeast Championships Monday, her first tournament victory since becoming a Blue Devil and her 10th straight match win overall.

Deßoo easily disposed of Wake Forest’s Janet Bergman 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals during the morning and maintained her solid play throughout the afternoon, winning a three-set battle with 27th-ranked Sarah Witten of Kentucky to take the title.

After winning the first set 6-2 in a similar fashion to her match against Bergman, Deßoo suffered her first setback of the day when she lost a competitive tiebreak to Witten in the second set 9-7. But solid serving allowed the Ecully, France, native to regain her composure in the final set, and the junior promptly closed out Witten 6-3 to win the tourney.

With the victory, Deßoo automatically qualifies for the ITA Indoor Championships in Dallas next weekend, an accomplishment she believes she has reached in large part because of her transfer to Duke.

“I prefer [Duke],” Deßoo said unequivocally. “I like the practices, I like the fact that it’s competitive, [and] I like the fact that the coaches are open to suggestions. I like everything about it. I’m happier here than I was at Ole Miss.”

While Deßoo remains content with her new situation at Duke, coach Jamie Ashworth is excited that he has three players who have emerged as viable contenders for the top seed once the spring season approaches. Despite losing last year’s No. 1 player Ansley Cargill to the professional ranks, the Blue Devils’ singles depth has

proven to be quite formidable, as sophomore Amanda Johnson, freshman Kelly McCain, and Deßoo will all compete for the top spot.

Needless to say, Ashworth is salivating at the possibilities that this depth will provide his team.

“I think you could justify putting any one of them at [number] one and I think you could justify putting any one of them at

three,” Ashworth said of Johnson, Deßoo and McCain. ‘We’ve had two players in the past who we’ve done that with, but we’ve never had three players to be able to do that. So I think that’s going to be great for our team. We can change our lineup around a little bit, depending on game styles, and always keeping our opponents guessing so we don’t have the same lineup everyday.”

Of course, not all the news coming out of Winston-Salem was positive for the Blue Devils. In particular, Johnson, who entered the tournament seeded No. 1, was upset in the opening round of the tourney by Wake’s Katie Martzolf. As a result, Johnson, along with McCain, will wait to see if the ITA grants her a bid to the Indoors next weekend.

Ashworth also expressed some concern about the fact that none of Duke’s newly configured doubles teams made it to Monday. However, he believes this is simply a product of the doubles teams still getting to know each other’s on-court tendencies.

“We’ll take the next two months before we play a team match and really try to' come up with the right combinations,” Ashworth said. “It’s been hard also with injuries—Katie Granson hasn’t been able to play and in the past two years, she’s been a big part of our doubles. She’s just starting to play this week, so we’ll have to mix her in there.

“That will certainly take a lot of pressure off our singles, because the way we’ve been playing singles, we should be able to win three singles every match.”

JULIE DeROO won her 10th straight match of the fall en route to her tournament victory.

This is the last in a six-part series profiling the members of the men’s basketball recruiting Class 0f2002.

In his free time, which has been scarce between a recent plethora ofrecruiting visits, Shavlik Randolph walks through the woods to his friend’s house.

The house, or as Randolph calls it, the palace, has a full-size basketball court in the backyard with durable rims and adjustable fiberglass backboards. In the spectacle that follows, Randolph and his friends lower the rims to about eight-and-one-half feet, take a smaller-than-regulation-size basketball, roll the cameras and play.

Randolph then spends part ofhis technology class, and much of his spare time, editing that tape and making highlight reels. By now he’s on volume four.

This is what the thoughtful, slow-talking Raleigh native did for relaxation during the biggest recruiting battle on Tobacco Road since David Thompson signed with N.C. State—a war that ended only a few weeks ago when Randolph committed to Duke.

Men’s golf ends fall season, finishes ninth at Stanford

By ANDREW GREENFIELD The Chronicle

The fall season is over for the men’s golf team, and possibly so is its chance at getting into the NCAA Regionals.

The Blue Devils went into their last fall event as the defending champs, looking for their first top-five finish of the year. This was not the week, as Duke finished in ninth place for the second time this season.

LAUREN HANCOCK won the 500- and 1,000-yard freestyle races against N.C. State.

Swimming’s lack of depth costly against N.C. State

By CLINTON McHLGH The Chronicle

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving team took on N.C. State Saturday in front of a packed parents’ weekend crowd at the Taishoff Natatorium. The swimmers put on an impressive performance for their families, taking first in eleven events.

Duke fell short of victory in the end, however, as the Wolfpack’s depth of talent proved to be too overwhelming. The women’s team was defeated 147-96, while the men fell 145.5-95.5. The losses drop the records ofboth teams to 02, while the squads from N.C. State each improved to 2-0.

“It was a nice, competitive meet,” Duke coach Bob Thompson said. “We won a lot of events, but we didn’t quite have

the depth to come out with a win today.”

The women’s team was once again led by its talented sophomore class. Lauren Cornet, Amy Halligan, and Lauren Hancock each collected two wins on the day. Comet touched first in the 50-yard freestyle in 24.24 early in the meet, and then later dominated in the 200-yard breaststroke to win by almost five seconds with her time of 2:21.79. Halligan was the winner in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:09.14, and finished first in the 200-yard butterfly in 2:07.25.

Hancock took the lead in 1,000-yard freestyle from the very beginning of the swim, looking to put away the competition early in the longest event of the meet. Her opponents refused to give up, however, closing through the second half ofthe swim and forcing her to fight it out through the last lap to win in 10:29.05. The 500-yard freestyle was an

even tighter race, as N.C. State’s Katie Sheridan held pace with Hancock through the entire swim. Hancock’s strong finish gave her the win by 53 one-hundredths of a second with her

time of 5:08.06.

“Lauren Hancock is by far one of the hardest workers on the team,” senior Jen Gauger said. “She trains at a pace as fast as most of the guys and it is paying off. With her endurance and speed, she can step up on the blocks and win almost any race on any given day.”

On the men’s side, senior Captain Chris Fleizach won the 200-yard backstroke, fending off a late sprint from Kevin Barkley of N.C. State to win by three-tenths of a second with a time of 1:55.34. No stranger to close finishes, Fleizach was prepared to defend his lead from Barkley.

“He was trying to save himself for a sprint in the last 50 yards,” Fleizach said. “I wasn’t about to let him pull that sort of trick on me, even though I was getting tired near the end. I think he just underestimated the toughness that our training gives us at Duke.”

Junior Ryan Spoon came through in the 200-yard breaststroke, slowly pulling away frcftn the pack to win in 2:09.28. Freshmen John Humphrey and Teddy Heifers also posted wins for the Blue Devils. Humphrey took first in the 200-yard IM with a time of 1:57.83, while Heifers finished the 200-yard butterfly in 1:58.80 to win

“It’s frustrating,” coach Rod Myers said. “We just can’t put it together. Our top players are giving us two good rounds, but they need to give us three. Also, we need to have guys finishing individually in the top 10 for us to contend.”

This week Duke once again got off to a terrible start, forcing it to play catch up for the rest of the tournament. The Blue Devils were in 13th place out of 15 teams after the first and second rounds.

An even-par final round moved Duke up four spots to ninth. won the Nelson Washington Invitational, played at the par-71, 6,786-yard Stanford Golf Club in Stanford, Calif., with a three-round total of 839, 13-under-par. Individual medalist honors were claimed by N.C. State’s Justin Walters.

Duke was led this week by Leif Olson, who fired rounds of 68-74-70 to finish one-under par and tied for 19th place.

According to Myers, Olson’s game is presently the sharpest on the team, but he is playing too well to be scoring the way he is.

“Leif has so much game, talent and ability,” Myers said. “He is just missmanaging himself, not taking full advantage of the golf course and the

opportunities. He is just hitting the wrong shots at the wrong time.”

Matt Krauss got off to a slow start

with a first-round 76, but the senior rebounded to shoot rounds of 70-69 to finish tied for 24th place.

“Matt is naturally our leader and we feed a lot off his performance,” Myers said. “He didn’t feel well in the first round, which had something to do with his poor score, but even in the final round when he shot 69 he felt like he left too many shots on the course and that’s not like him.”

Brandon LaCroix, like Krauss, got off to a difficult start firing a 77, but he too fought his way back with rounds of 71 and 70 to finish tied for 39th place.

Also competing for Duke were sophomore Bobby Castor and junior Brad Clark. Castor fired rounds of 73-72-76 to finish tied for 48th place, while Clark shot 76-80-75 to tie for 76th place.

Right now it is a little too early to count Duke out of the NCAA Regionals, Myers knows that his team cannot afford to have a slow start in the spring.

“No question that if the selection was today we wouldn’t be selected,” Myers said. “We have to get off to a solid start in the spring because we don’t have much room for error.”

The Chronicle

Randolph spurns family traditions at State, UNC handling skills like a guard. He blocks shots, he rebounds, he scores in numerous ways. Inside, he gets to the free-throw line. He’s a complete player.”

Over a year ago, coach Mike Krzyzewski put Randolph on a list of six players he wanted to get for the Class of 2006. The Blue Devils brought No. 42 to campus many times, both unofficially and officially.

They worked him out and showed him around campus. At night, the players took him around the town and played heated games of Madden 2002 on Playstation 2.

After wavering between N.C. State, North Carolina, Kansas and Florida—reported to be his sec-

ond choice—he chose Duke, rounding out Krzyzewski’s list and cementing the Class of 2006 as arguably the best in college basketball history. “[I knew I wanted to go to Duke] the Sunday I got back from my visit,” Randolph said. “I talked to Coach K a lot and he pretty much told me that Duke was the right place and I needed to go ahead and make a decision.... He also said that me going to Duke was not going to make or break the program; if I didn’t go to Duke, they were still going to be the best and they were still going to win national championships. He just asked me if I wanted to be a part of that or not.”

The choice was not easy for Randolph, who grew up in a somewhat anti-Duke background due in part to the legacy of his grandfather and namesake Ronnie Shavlik, an All-American for the Wolfpack in the mid-19505. In a move that his grandfather once said was the toughest check he ever signed, Randolph’s mother went to North Carolina, where she not only increased the family’s bias, but also met his father.

A generation later, Shav, as he’s called by his friends, will complete the Triangle trifecta and attend Duke.

As odd as some may find it, Randolph maintains it will not be hard for a pair of Tar Heel alumni to pull for Duke if it makes their son happy. However, he did say it was hard to turn down a scholarship offer he received from N.C. State the summer after his freshman season.

“Right after it happened and my Dad told me what it was, I didn’t know what to say,” Randolph said. “I was real close to going to State. At the time they offered me the scholarship I was one of those kids who, if I’d seen the players at the mall, would have gone up and asked them for an autograph. I was a little kid trying to get tickets to the game and all of a sudden they’re saying they want me to play basketball for them. That was kind of weird for me.”

SHAVLIK RANDOLPH takes a shot during his official visit to Duke near the end of September.

As Randolph gets used to the superstardom that he says makes him feel like Michael Jordan—whom, incidentally, he played against this summer—he still

“There’s not much he can’t do on the court,” said future teammate J.J. Redick, who played with Randolph over the summer and may room with him next year. “He can shoot threes, he’s 6-foot-10-and-a-half. To do that at that height is special. He’s got ball-

maintains that it’s not weird to be both a superstar and a kid playing around in the editing room. Most of the people he plays with he has been around all his life, and the girls “still fawn over some of my teammates more than me,” Randolph said, despite the fact his school makes T-shirts for him that say “Shav Country.”

“Seeing the Cameron Crazies wearing it would be kind ofcool,” Randolph admits.

A pianist and deeply religious person, Randolph’s talents, which he says were given to him from God, extend well beyond the basketball court. Many people, including future teammate Lee Melchionni, say he is one of the genuinely nicest people they have met. However, he and others say he can be a bit of a jokester.

“He’s just fun to be around,” Redick said. “He makes everybody laugh. He draws attention to himself just because he has a great sense ofhumor and a great personality. And you’ve got to admire him for his faith and his religion.”

The wrong path to peace

In

the midst of the United States’ war against the Taliban and worldwide terrorist networks, too little attention has been paid to the escalation ofviolence in Israel and the Palestinian-occupied territories that surround it following ofthe murder of Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Zeevi by Palestinian militants.

In the wake of this assassination, Israel once again clamped down on Palestinian-controlled lands in the West Bank and initially delayed withdrawing its forces from the region. As a sign of good faith, the Israelis have now pulled back from this offensive posture, and in return, the Palestinian Authority must commit to curtailing terrorism among its people. Yasser Arafat, chair ofthe Palestinian Authority, has shown that he can control Palestinian extremists but has been unwilling to do so in the past year. The aging leader must once again demonstrate that he can be a partner for peace by supporting the re-enactment of the Mitchell Plan devised to stop the current wave of violence.

During the Oslo peace process of the 19905, a determined Arafat appeared ready to make the difficult compromises necessary for a fair and peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But ever since he turned down very generous “final status” offers made by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the terrorist-turned-diplomat has reverted back to his old pre-Oslo ways. Arafat released extremist political prisoners from Palestinian jails and did nothing to cease the uprising within his jurisdiction.

By allowing such shameful activity to occur, Arafat turned an already skeptical Israeli public against peacemakers from Barak’s One Israel/Labor coalition, leading to the election of the far more hawkish Ariel Sharon.

Sharon’s conduct over the past few months has hardly been exemplary either; it was he who initially incited a strong Palestinian backlash by standing on the divisive Temple Mount religious complex, a holy place for both Jews and Muslims. Since being elected, Sharon has been steadfast in his reluctance to take dramatic actions to stop the seemingly endless cycle ofviolence. Furthermore, he has had little good to say about his strongest ally, the United States. In fact, Sharon insensitively compared America’s recent inattention to the IsraeliPalestinian problem to the 1938 appeasement ofAdolf Hitler in Munich, in which British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain gave the Nazi dictator parts ofCzechoslovakia. Sharon’s analogy may have been a fair one, but its timing was inappropriate and imprudent given the current crisis that his American allies face.

Despite Sharon’s missteps, however, Israel has proven it is willing to share the former Palestinian mandate, while its Palestinian adversaries and their Arab brethren have not. Israel needs to stop settling areas of the West Bank and bulldozing Palestinian towns, but until Arafat’s actions substantively show that his organization desires peace—instead ofthe destruction of the only flourishing democracy in a largely autocratic Middle East—then he should expect nothing In return from the Israelis or the Americans. It is in the best interest ofboth Israelis and Palestinians that a Palestinian state ultimately be created, but with the unproductive actions ofboth sides, this goal’s implementation seems far into the future.

The new foundation of terrorism

November 9, 2005: The California Department of Public Health declares a statewide medical emergency as upwards of 15,000 residents of the Los Angeles area are

suddenly admitted to local hospitals with flulike symptoms. Officials have no immediate comment on what caused Pavel the strange outbreak. t i Molchanov November 10, 2005: With the numbers of ill Californians reaching 80,000 and the death toll rising by the hour, all hospitals in Los Angeles and surrounding counties are placed under federal control by a presidential order. Scientists are feverishly working to identify this disease, which resists all treatment efforts.

November 11, 2005: The Centers for Disease Control announce that the Los Angeles Aqueduct is severely contaminated with an unknown strain ofbacteria that is confirmed to be the cause of the epidemic. Half a million people in the western United States are now showing symptoms, with 20,000 casualties reported so far.

November 12, 2005: All air travel in the nation is stopped after scientists determine that the still-unrecognized bacteria is airborne and spreads through human contact. The epidemic has now spread to the East Coast, Europe and Asia. Quarantine zones are established in all major population centers.

November 13,2005: As the number of confirmed deaths reaches the 120,000 mark, a national emergency is pro\

/

claimed. The entire transportation system is nationalized, and road traffic is restricted to emergency personnel only.

With all state and federal courts suspended and martial law declared, a shoot-on-sight order is issued for all persons violating quarantine orders.

November 14, 2005: A total of 178

governments ban Americans and U.S.-

made goods from entering their countries. Stock trading in New York, London and Tokyo is suspended indefinitely after markets drop 45 percent over three days on the news that virtually all economic activity in the United States is stopped due to the ban on domestic travel. The World Bank predicts the most severe global depression since the 19305.

November 15,2005: The White House determines that bacterial contamination of California’s water was an act of terrorism. The U.S. military is placed on its highest alert level since the Cuban Missile Crisis as the president issues a warning that any country found to have harbored or supported the suspected terrorists would face immediate and massive nuclear retaliation.

While there is no indication that such an attack will occur in the near future and while it is unlikely for logistical as well as political reasons to ever happen, the threat ofbioterrorism is as high as it has ever been. The sobering reality is that Sept. 11 heralded a completely new kind of terrorism, one that lacks any legitimate political objectives. Al-Qaida and those supporting it do not share the dominant goals of20th century movements that relied on terrorist tactics: the formation of an independent state and/or religious and social freedom. Osama bin Laden is clearly not driven by dreams of power or nationhood.

This terrorism ofhatred is objectively neither better nor worse than conventional coercive diplomacy, but it is much more difficult to counteract. The Irish Republican Army, for instance, engaged in countless acts of violence in the 1970s and 1980s, but it remained focused on a concrete objective that was achievable

marginalizing its extremist elements, with devolution and multiparty government in Belfast finally bringing stability. Because nothing short of a complete reversal of U.S. policy towards the Middle East would satisfy bin Laden, placating him is simply not an option.

How does this make bioterrorism more likely? Terrorists who were pursuing politics by other means had to consider the effect of their attacks on public opinion. Since the cold-blooded murder of thousands would be universally condemned, they never resorted to it. The aim was to make the world pay attention without provoking widespread condemnation of the terrorists’ cause. AlQaida, on the other hand, is not concerned about its image and can therefore attempt the most devastating attacks that are technologically feasible.

Recent cases of anthrax in the United States are not on the scale of the fictional scenario, and it is conceivable (though unlikely, in my opinion) that they are

unrelated to al-Qaida, but their goal is the same: systematic destruction of people’s faith in all institutions of civic life.

On Sept. 11, airlines and public buildings were targeted; now the target is the mail system. It is possible that the power grid, nuclear reactors, highways and hospitals will be next, but a biological attack on a major population center must not be ruled out.

It cannot be said too often that the likelihood of such a calamity is practically nil. Even terrorist-supporting states would seek to prevent it because the threat of massive retaliation—perhaps using America’s nuclear arsenal—could not be discounted. The logistics of this kind of operation would also be immensely challenging even for a powerful terrorist faction. Living in fear, then, is not the answer, but refusing to recognize that the threat exists would be foolhardy.

British government successfully pursued the strategy of courting the moderate wing of the IRA in the 1990s while

Living in the land of confusion Is there any wonder why the media’s honeymoon with the Bush administration is over?

Three weeks ago, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer begrudgingly clarified that there never was a threat to the president or a threat to Air Force One on Sept. 11. He had previously asserted otherwise and had refused to explain how this threat was determined.

Two weeks ago, the federal governMartin ment reluctantly admitted that it had Bama tested U.S. Capitol police dogs for anthrax before it tested postal workers throughout the District of Columbia.

Last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson finally reneged on a previous statement that has become a painfully obvious falsity—that the United States is in any way prepared to handle a determined biological terrorist.

We seem to be living in Genesis “Land of Confusion:” “Now did you read the news today/ They say the danger’s gone away/ But I can see the fire’s still alight / Burning into the night.”

In the immediate aftermath of the 11th, our media knew more or less how to respond. They had to dust off the Desert Storm playbook and pull the domestic attacks guide out of its 60-year storage place, but the constant coverage, saturated with military and terrorism experts, up-front press briefings and the quick assembly of competent reporting from both Washington, D.C., and New York City, was something to be proud of. Our press was on its toes; Americans knew what to expect.

And then came anthrax—the little bacterium that has made our citizens into hypochondriacs, our news sources into targets and our government into a mess.

It’s a scary time, indeed, when the federal government

is issuing more daily retractions than the major newspapers and networks.

I~find blaming the citizenry for their reactions to the anthrax threat difficult. Given that all of the recipients of anthrax-by-mail have been high ranking government officials or important government office buildings, I must admit I find it ridiculous to see John Q. Public on the local news, wearing white gloves to open his mail. No offense to anyone in Pittsboro, but I think the odds of someone in your four-comer hamlet getting anthrax are about as likely as the terrorists attacking Cosmic Cantina.

It’s not easy to blame the media for this anthrax mess, either. Covering press conferences is an effective way to inform the public. They have been pretty relentless in their pursuit of straight-talk from the administration—a pursuit that seems to grow more futile as the days continue. For the media I only have questions: 1. Who authorized Tom Brokaw’s goofy statement (after his assistant was infected with anthrax), where the marble-mouthed broadcaster said there were no socially acceptable terms he could use to describe how he felt about the anthrax letter? Also, which words would Brokaw use? Is anything really that socially unacceptable on a network that airs Fear Factor?

2. How is Dan Rather defying the terrorists by not taking an anthrax test after his assistant was diagnosed with the disease? Succumbing to a fatal disease seems to be doing what the terrorists want, no?

Getting tested and treated would be more in line with the concept of defying the terrorists.

3. Why did no one send anthrax to Peter Jennings?

Is it because he is Canadian?

4. Is Fox behind the attacks? The other major networks have received anthrax-laden letters, but the fourth estate’s number four has so far been immune.

Then again, Fox’s most prominent anchor-type person—NFL commentator Terry Bradshaw—already uses pretty socially unacceptable terms, not to mention constructions of grammar.

As for the government’s role in this anthrax debacle: as unnerving as Secretary of Ineptitude Thompson and Secretary of Misinformation Tom Ridge are (their counterparts at the Departments of Justice and Defense have been remarkably straightforward), our nation should be more concerned with the way the United States has swiftly lost ground on the global public relations front.

Make no mistake, we are currently losing the PR battle to a group of cave-dwelling murderers and the oppressive, stone-age government that protects them.

The 50-day-old coalition is beginning to show some cracks. We need to continue to retaliate with force and covert operations, but if we do not mute our increasingly unilateralist diatribes and start doing some more effective public relations, we are going to find ourselves standing alone. The Bush administration came into power with a lot of arrogance and then cooled off after it lost the Senate and after the 11th. But now that some time has passed, it seems like the administration is going back to its roots —self-righteousness in the face of world.

Bumbling news conferences are mild sign of how discombobulated the administration has become in the past couple weeks. We are currently embarking on a righteous mission of justice and beginning what could be a world-changing war against terrorists. But we are never going to win either battle without the support of the world. Hopefully someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will refigure that out —soon.

17th-century Italian music is an exciting mix of improvisation, imaginatio and virtuosity, a “fantastic” combination that shows how much baroque music had in common with, for example, jazz. Andrew Manze is the hott name in baroque fiddling today. With harpsichordist Richard Egarr, they will dazzle and delight, or, if you’re a traditionalist, they may infuriate!

The third annual Art Career Forum sponsored by DUMA and the Duke Career Center is a good place to learn about possible careers in the visual arts, including museums, galleries, graphic design, auction houses, art law, etc. A panel of professionals will be there to answer your questions.
