With recent gifts, Divinity seeks to allocate more aid

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Three gifts announced Thursday will allow the Divinity School to expand its financial aid offerings.

The contributions have been earmarked to sustain ministerial education, reduce student debt and provide discretionary funds. The Duke Endowment gave $1 milbon, alumni Morris and Ruth Williams donated $1 million and the Mary G. Stange Charitable Trust contributed $510,000—all announced prior to the school’s 75th armiversaiy weekend celebration.

One of the Divinity School’s six goals in its long-term plan last year was to improve the school’s ability to recruit high quality students, especially by developing stronger financial aid policies.

Financial aid is a key barrier to students accepting admission to the school,

according to the plan, and the school should assess the viability of increasing need-based financial aid grants. Ninety percent of Divinity students currently re-

ceive financial aid.

“The majority of our students are from middle-income backgrounds, and they also know they’re not coming to Divinity School to make a lot of money,” said Gregory Duncan, associate dean for student life at the Divinity School.

“The majority of positions are not high paying positions.”

Duncan said financial aid is often a top recruiting tool as well, noting many admitted to the school who are offered only partial grants at Duke are offered full scholarships at other seminaries.

“It’s a very competitive arena now in terms of seminaries and attracting students to seminaries,” he said. “There See DIVINITY on page 7 S*

Blue Devils open season vs. seventh-ranked Texas Tech

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

The Duke women’s basketball team begins its season Sunday as the host of the 2001 State Farm Women’s Tip-off Classic. Ranked fourth in the nation, the Blue Devils will face off against another elite school,'seventh-ranked Texas Tech.

“I think this is going to be an unbelievable test for us,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “There’s a part of me that would like to ease into the schedule, but there’s another part that’s just real excited and can’t wait to play a team that’s as experienced and as talented and as well-coached as Texas Tech.”

Goestenkors feels the two teams closely resemble one another, particularly in their youth. The Red Raiders’ Amber Tarr will be the only senior starting Sunday, as both teams rely heavily on underclassmen.

“I think we both have outstanding young talent,” Goestenkors said. “We don’t have senior leadership yet, but we’re developing our leadership with our young players.”

Foremost among the two teams’ collection of youth is Duke’s highly acclaimed Alana Beard, a preseason All-American.

The sophomore phenom exuded confidence regarding Duke’s potential this season and eagerly awaited this weekend’s contest.

“It’s exciting,” Beard said. “We’re playing a top team in the country our first game out. It’s going to show us what we’re made of. It’3 going to show us what we need to work on as a team.”

President reassures nation in speech Bush conceded the United States does not know who is behind the anthrax attacks

By SONYA ROSS

The Associated Press

ATLANTA President George W. Bush assured an uneasy nation Thursday night that the United States will prevail against terrorists and said Americans should not “give in to exaggerated fears or passing rumors.”

In a prime-time address, he told Americans to turn their fears into action: volunteer in hospitals, schools, homeless shelters and at military facilities or train for emergency service work and join a new civil defense force he hopes to build.

“We have entered a new era. This new era requires new responsibilities—both for the government and our people,” the president said.

The commander of the U.S.-led coalition confirmed a “gunfight” was raging south of Mazar-e-Sharif, although he refused to give details. Taliban and opposition spokesperson described intense fighting, with front lines moving back and forth around a key ridge south ofthe city.

Opposition spokesperson Ashraf Nadeem said the northern alliance was so confident of victory that commanders have met to discuss how to storm Mazar-e-Sharif without destroying the city.

‘Gunfleht’ rages near key Taliban city

Alabama school board questions evolution

The Alabama Board of Education voted without dissent Thursday to place a disclaimer on the front of 40,000 new biology textbooks calling evolution a “controversial theory” students should question.

Nearly two months after the hijacker attacks in New York and Washington, Bush conceded that his administration does not know who unleashed anthrax in the U.S. mail, nor did he offer hope that U.S. troops would soon find Osama bin Laden and unravel his Afghanistan-based terrorist network.

But he confidently predicted victory abroad: ‘We will persevere in this struggle, no matter how long it takes to prevail.” He also lauded Americans for their actions so far.

We are a different country than we were on September 10th: sadder and less innocent; stronger and more united; and in the face of ongoing threats, determined and courageous,”

Elsewhere, U.S. jets and B-52 bombers repeatedly hit Taliban targets along the front line about 30 miles north of the capital, Kabul, and around Kandahar, the southern city that is the headquarters of the Islamic militia.

Huge plumes ofsmoke billowed from Taliban positions, which did not fire anti-aircraft guns as they have on past bombing runs over the capital. It was unclear whether the guns had been knocked out or whether the Taliban were just saving ammunition. Bismillah Khan, an opposition commander, said U.S. bombing overnight near Kabul had been “very effective,” and two Taliban tanks and an anti-aircraft position were destroyed.

Campus Council OKs resolution The proposal echoes Duke Student Government’s argument that the University should preserve seniority in the housing lottery. �

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle A day after Duke Student Government passed a resolution calling for seniority in the housing lottery process, Campus Council made a similar recommendation at its meeting last night.

Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta, Assistant Dean of Student Development Burig and other top University officials will decide on a final version of the lottery system early next week. Moneta said the administration will consider both groups’ recommendations and that he hopes to inform students of the finished plan’s details before Thanksgiving break begins.

“I’m particularly impressed with both bodies and how they clearly cared that students not be disadvantaged in the process,” Moneta said.

The core aspect of Campus Council and DSG’s resolutions are identical in that they both ask for rising independent seniors to receive priority over rising independent juniors for singles, doubles and triples on West Campus.

However, while DSG’s proposal includes an amendment that guarantees current sophomores living in Trent Drive Hall a room on West next year, Campus Council rejected such a measure.

“The administration is sticking to their guns that Trent is a good form of housing,” said Campus Council President Vik Devisetty. Devisetty added that the system would create considerSee CAMPUS COUNCIL on page 8 �

A&S computing remains $3 million over budget

By KENNETH REINKER The Chronicle

The Arts and Science Council heard reports on the University’s progress in technology at its meeting Thursday.

Melissa Mills, associate dean of Arts and Science computing, outlined the department’s goals, addressed budgetary concerns and discussed technology-related security issues.

She urged faculty to protect passwords and log off computers, noting that protection of student records is especial-

DAVE INGRAIWTHE CHRONICLE

Mapping an argument

Norman Finkelstein, controversial scholar of Zionism and professor of political science at DePaul University, lectured on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a packed lecture hall in the Sociology-Psychology Building last night. Over 200 students, faculty and community members attended, many of them sitting in aisles or standing against walls.

Himself a Jew and son of Holocaust survivors, Finkelstein used historical background of the founding of Israel, as well as descriptions of the living conditions of present-day Palestinians, to sharply criticize Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. He advocated an Israeli withdrawal of territories it gained in the 1967 Six-Day War against its Arab neighbors, and condemned the use of the Holocaust to justify the existence of Israel.

Audience members seemed evenly split between the conflict’s two factions, and a tense but subdued question-and-answer period followed Finkelstein’s speech.

You’l

ly important.

Mills also reported the computing budget, much of which is distributed to individual departments, was over $3 million—up 10 percent over last year. To help determine departmental budgetary needs, Mills asked faculty members to complete online computing surveys.

“We’re trying to support what you all do,” Mills said. “We’re trying to make technology something you can use without thinking about it.... Any kind of support [needed], we probably are providing, and if we’re not, maybe we should be.”

The council also heard a report from Michael Pickett, special assistant to the provost for academic technology, who addressed technology on a University-wide level. Pickett spoke about the need to improve all areas of computing support, including making increases in Duke’s mass data storage capacity.

“[We want to develop] a whole environment that supports the whole idea of useful technology,” Pickett said.

He also spoke about the development ofwireless Internet access, but argued it would not replace wired networks, largely because of speed issues, range differences and interference with other wireless technology.

Pickett also addressed student technology, saying that the University has decided not to require students to purchase laptops at this point.

Pickett said the University is also developing a certificate program in infqrmation science and information studies, scheduled to begin in fall 2003.

Council members raised concerns about computing support for graduate students, noting that in the rush to buy cutting edge technology, the University may be ignoring those who may not be able to afford basic technology.

IN OTHER NEWS: History professor and council chair Ron Witt said releasing course evaluation data online for spririg registration would be considered at either the December or January meeting.

Witt also announced that Philip Cook, ITT/Stanford professor of public policy, would chair the task force addressing fiscal choices concerning faculty size, research and graduate students. The members of the committee will be announced at the council’s next meeting.

State House gives approval to Senate redistricting plan

From staff" and wire reports The state House voted 57-55 to approve the state Senate’s plan to redraw Senate districts in the state, despite iyr \r vocal opposition from Republican INIiiWS and black legislators. The plan p DTI7I?c would reduce the number of disS tricts with a majority black population from four to two. But several Republicans feel the plan was designed to ensure a Democratic majority in the Senate in the coming years.

The Senate plan “violates our constitution, it violates our rules and it doesn’t follow traditional redistricting principles,” said House Minority Leader Leo Daughtry, a Republican. Legal challenges may be raised.

Federal law officials must approve the plan before it is implemented in the 2002 elections.

Bell widens lead in mayoral race: After count-

ing 429 provisional ballots, the Durham County Board of Elections reported that Bill Bell has increased his lead over Nick Tennyson in the mayoral election.

Bell, who defeated Tennyson by 366 votes according to unofficial results Tuesday night, gained 274 votes from the provisional ballots, compared to 155 for Tennyson. That gives him a lead of 485, or more than 1 percent of the total vote—which is the usual threshold for determining whether or not to recount ballots, said Mike Ashe, director of the board of elections.

“This moves it further out of the 1percent,” he said.

“So actually this was good news for Bell and not good news for Tennyson.”

The official results in the election will be announced at 11 a.m. today.

Over $220,000 will go toward scholarships for students from counties where tobacco is a key to the local economy, and $320,000 to lure teachers to

rural areas.

Funds for the foundation come from the $4.6 billion the state received from a 1999 major tobacco settlement. The foundation has received $169.8 million so far, and officials expect to receive $65 million more by April. The foundation only uses investment income from the settlement payments to create grants.

“We’re looking at niche crops and niche markets for the small farmers,” said Valeria Lee, the foundation’s president. “We’re putting about 40 percent of our money into agriculture.”

Midway applying for federal airline relief:

Midway Airlines has to meet next week’s deadline to apply for a second round of federal relief money in its struggle to stay afloat.

The airline, which was facing bankruptcy before the Sept. 11 attacks, applied in October for money designated by Congress to help airlines nationwide recover after the attacks. However, the U.S. Department of Transportation denied the request, saying it was unsure if Midway was eligible for the funds because of its previous financial difficulties.

U.S. Rep. David Price, a Democrat, said getting Midway back in the air is critical for the local economy.

“Under the terms of the law and DOT’s own regulations, Midway clearly qualifies for grant funding, and I have asked Secretary [of Transportation Norman] Mineta to expedite review of the airlines application,” Price said.

Midway CEO Bob Ferguson said Midway will apply for $l2 million in grants and $2B million in loans.

However, some industry experts question whether $4O million would be enough to restart the airline under current economic conditions.

Bioterrorism bill becomes law:

Governor Mike Easley signed a bill Thursday that designates $32 million to help the state fight terrorism. The law gives $1.9 million to the Division of Emergency Management to create urban search and rescue teams and to improve disaster response teams. Other possible actions include gas masks for law enforcement officers, new equipment for the State Laboratory and computer security upgrades for government networks.

Another bill still pending in the Legislature would also stiffen penalties for terrorist acts.

Tobacco farmers receive $7.7 million in grants: The Golden LEAF Foundation has granted

North Carolina Tobacco farmers $7.7 million to focus on finding other types of agriculture to supplement tobacco. Current proposals include the cultivation of hot peppers for use as-insecticides and the raising of free-ranging hogs.

was a member of the -D KllLr O Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps when she was at the University, had a night off from the USS Milius—the ship on which she was assigned—when she was struck by a car while crossing a street. She was 23.

Ceremony to mark Divinity anniversary: The Divinity School will

celebrate its 75th anniversary and break ground on a new building in a ceremony this Saturday.

The events will begin with a 10 a.m. public worship service in the Chapel. The sermon will mark the anniversary of the school’s 1926 founding.

The groundbreaking ceremony will begin at about 11:15 a.m. Faculty, staff and guests will exit the Chapel in a recessional march to the spot east of the Chapel where the new addition will be constructed. The groundbreaking is free and open to the public.

“We cannot know every turn this battle will take. Yet we know our cause is just and our ultimate victory is assured,” Bush said. “We will no doubt face new challenges. But we have our marching orders; My fellow Americans, let’s roll.”

The address was billed as an update on the war in Afghanistan, the anthrax scares at home and the new responsibilities of government and all Americans. Bush also outlined actions the government has taken to strengthen homeland security, including deploying National Guard troops to airports and giving law enforcement authorities more powers.

“None of us would ever wish the evil that has been done to our country, yet we have learned that out ofevil can come great good. During the last two months, we have shown the world America is a great nation,” he said.

“Our great national challenge is to hunt down the terrorists and strengthen our protections against future attacks; our great national opportunity is to preserve forever the good that

has resulted. Through the tragedy, we are renewing and reclaiming our strong American values.”

He spoke in Atlanta, chosen because it is home to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nation’s leading disease control facility.

Recognizing in polls a desire by Americans to get involved in the fight against terrorism, the president suggested ways people can serve their country. He urged people to head into “careers of service,” such as firefighting or police work.

He said people should volunteer to work in hospitals and other places on the front lines of terrorism response, such as military installations. Friday, Bush was announcing a “dramatic increase” in the use of National Guard personnel for airport security, including the stationing of Guardsmen at airport boarding gates, an administration official said.

“Many ask what can I do to help in our fight? The simple answer is all of us can become a September 11th volunteer by making a commitment to service in our own communities,” Bush said.

NINETY PERCENT OF STUDENTS receive financial aid once they are admitted to the University’s Divinity School.

Many students in Divinity face financial difficulties � DIVINITY from page 1 frankly aren’t as many people seeking to enter the ministry as entering business, medical or law careers.”

Sarah McGiverin, a first-year master’s of divinity student, said she was grateful for the aid she had and that the school was very accommodating. But she noted that Divinity School debt, in addition to undergraduate debt, would be difficult to pay.

“You know, you’re not going to be able to pay it when you get out,” she said.

‘You will, but it will take years and years and years.”

Divinity School Dean Gregory Jones said this year the school implemented a series of scholarships aimed at increasing the Divinity School’s commitment to financial aid.

The Duke Endowment grant will establish the Benjamin Newton Duke Scholarship Endowment for Divinity students to encourage excellence in ministerial education and provide outstanding pastoral leadership for churches in the Carolinas.

Halfof the $1 million Williams gift will supplement the Benjamin Newton Duke

Scholarship Endowment Fund. The other half will go to the A. Morris and Annabel Williams Fund for Parish Ministry.

The Stange gift will create the L. Gregory and Susan Pendleton Jones Endowment Fund, which will provide discretionary financial aid funds.

Sheila Williams said there are currently 43 scholarships for incoming students and that the Duke Endowment provides grants for field education in the United Methodist Church.

Tuition for the academic year at the Divinity School is relatively low, $11,250, compared with other University schools, but the total estimated annual expense is $23,665. Jones said this is a staggering amount in the context of a minister’s salary, which may be as little as $30,000

to $35,000.

“The pressing issue is that graduate students must go forth and make large amounts of money” Jones said. “Ministers’ salaries are significantly lower [than] business and law students’.”

Duke Divinity School is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and enrolls approximately 475 students from 40 denominations.

"Filled with advice and illuminated by real stories of students' self-doubts, failures, discoveries, and hopes, [this] book is a blueprint for academic success." *

“Based on 10 years of interviews with Harvard students, the book distills their wisdom and quotes them liberally on such matters as choosing classes, studying,

two Asians and two non-Asians, were integral in implementing this Western component. As the only dance with non-Asian choreographers, Bhangra became unique in its performance and orchestration.

“Having non-Asian choreographers helped to put a different spin on the dance. They know what is popular in dance and helped us make that a part of what we did,” Ali said. “While the show is about South Asian culture, we want to come together with other cultures by fusing hip-hop, ballet and jazz.”

This theme is also evident in the composition of the dance groups.

“It’s a really accepting performance,” senior Jeanna Novelli said. “We have lots of different types of kids, and everyone who wants to gets to perform.”

In an effort to make the annual performance more welcoming to all students, Diya decided this year to change the name from Diwali, a traditional Hindu celebration, to Awaaz, which means “voices.”

“Diya wanted it to be more of an inclusive celebration and representative of all South Asian cultures, and all South Asian cultures aren’t Hindu,”

Ali explained.

“We wanted it to be more cultural than religious and seem more open and accepting.”

Awaaz has a record number of participants this year, including a large number of non-Asian students.

“I wanted to participate in Awaaz because I had always been interested in South-Asian culture. It is really cool if you want to learn more, but it’s not something you have to do to understand it,” said senior Kristin Hoeft, one of many non-Asian performers in the Bhangra dance.

A large number of students chose to participate despite the time commitment required for practice and rehearsal. Bhangra performers began practicing immediately after fall break, and have worked furiously for five weeks to perfect the dance.

“We have practiced the Bhangra about five times a week for between two and six hours,” Ali said. “It’s a lot of time, but you really need it to perfect the dance, and it’s fun getting to know all the people you are working with.”

Participants agreed that the time is a fair tradeoff for the experience they receive.

“It’s lots of time commitment, but it’s also lots of fun,” junior Chirag Shah said. “The people are great, and we learn a lot about who we are and what we can do.”

While fun, it also helps South Asian students integrate their cultural backgrounds.

“Many of us are first- or second-generation kids in America, and we are not sure how to perceive our culture, especially after we come to college. And this is a chance to learn about it and celebrate it,” junior Anshu Jain said.

CAMPUS COUNCIL from page 3

able logistical problems if the 350 sophomores who currently live in Trent decided to room with people not living in Trent, possibly creating almost 700 priority positions.

The Campus Council proposal did recommend that students living in Trent for two consecutive years be given priority in their second year to fill any vacancies on West or Central Campuses if they become available.

Campus Council also recommended that the dorm selection process be combined with the Central Campus apartment selection process, thereby affording juniors and seniors more choice in the housing selection process.

Moneta said officials have not considered the latter proposal, but will weigh it with other recommendations.

DSG and Campus Council have both been seeking

influence on administrators as the University makes its final decision on this issue.

“I think it is under our mandate to address this issue because we are the residential governing body,” said Devisetty, who said the two groups were not in a rivalry.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, an amendment was made to a resolution passed at last week’s meeting, which called for a ban of smoking inside all residential living areas. The resolution now does not include Central Campus apartments, where such a policy could be unenforceable.

Campus Council also announced the possibility that this year’s Last Day of Classes concert could be held in Wallace Wade Stadium. The concert would become a revenue-generating event, and, although Duke undergraduate students would be allowed in free, tickets would be sold to other members of the Duke community.

Toting Twosome

The Experience Music Project's Electric Bus rolls into Durham for a weeklong stay on West Campus. Check out the hottest action on 18 wheels.

Introducing the newest style icons from Herve Chapelier: Mary Kate and Ashley Olson. Last week, the twins of Full House fame were spotted on TV, Chapelier totes in tow. Recess speculates the girls used one of their paychecks to snag the overpriced bags, first spotted in Paris. Starting last fall, Herve migrated from the Eiffel Tower to Clocktower, sitting next to salads and Stairmasters en masse. Pretty soon, it was an epidemic—everybody wanted an ugly handbag.

A visit to NYC revealed our Columbia counterparts wanted nothing to do with Herve, but the twelve-year old bluebloods at Spence were all over it. Guess we should have taken the hint back then. Now it's too late: The tweeny-bopper set has seized this trend in full force, and we implore you to put down the handbag. We know it's hard. That's why we're here. Relax. Reflect.

And when you're finally convinced that it's time to give the bag to your little sister, remember the good news: Lulu Guinness, Coach and Northface are having sample sales this month.

(Still not satisfied? Try adopting an Afghan camel. By rescuing a hapless animal from the Taliban regime, you're doing your part to help the war effort. The way-cool beast of burden can fit all your schoold even three n its back! Afghan mels are cheap, require very little food and water, and are sure to be the next big Trend for he stylish Duke Get yours today!)

Tweeners dig Herve Chapelier, and Recess ventures into The Real World.

Sex, lies and Videotape

This is the true story of 1000 strangers... arriving in Durham... with the hopes to be picked for a show... and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop wanting anonymity—and start getting "real."

9:45am line stretched around the block, hundreds of kids eager to get inside. All collegeage, they waited with painted faces and spirited clothing. No, this group was not lining up for Cameron, but rather the chance to be on MTV. The Real World/Road Rules Open Casting Call was in town, and everyone was looking to be the next pop-culture cliche.

Hopefuls had started lining up outside of Yancey's Blues and Jazz Cafe (the old Tobacco Roadhouse) on Main Streets as early as 4am, a full six hours before the day began. (When we arrived at 9:45, we were numbers #333 and #334). People had traveled hours to attend the casting, from Wilmington to Asheville, Virginia Tech to Appalachian State. Carille, a Howard University student, drove in from D.C., because she missed the open auditions there. There had been car wrecks, traffic tickets, even hotel rooms purchased. These hopefuls had already invested quite a

lot into the process: time, money, even busted fenders. Some were there to be the next Puck. Others were seeking internships with MTV or a platform for exposure (poets, singers, and future architects). It seemed that everyone present had a hidden agen-

da—including MTV (how real).

The line crept along for about two hours until we finally made it inside. Then, in some evil twist only reserved for queues at amusement parks, we sat in groups of six. The restaurant was filled with a cacophony of people practicing the art of "individual promotion"—crazy stories told at a decibel level calculated to drown out all the other Chatty Cathys.

Some started ordering beer and nachos; others ran back and forth from the bathroom, adjusting hair and makeup and assessing if their butt looked good in the tight club pants. (One girl went to the bathroom for this "final" check seven times.)

After another 90 minutes (and two Bud Lights), we were called to the stairs, where yet another line beckoned. A grand total of four hours of downTime—for 10 minutes. We sat in groups of 10, and Jason, our 24-year-old "casting director," facilitated a discussion. Sample questions: "Who here's a vir-

gin?" "Does anyone disapprove of interracial dating?" "Ever practice S&M?" I wish I were kidding.. 1 guess in the world of MTV, talking superficially about sex is considered "getting real." Especially when nine other people are shamelessly attempting to separate themselves from the crowd.

We were thanked and asked to leave. Carille drove the five hours back to D.C. Clarence drove to the mechanic to get his car fixed.

But for what? Is MTV such a barometer of cool?

Is our generation so desperate to seek pop-culture validation that we will stand for hours for the minutest chance to have our privacy violated? Why are people so hungry to have their personal struggles exploited and edited to the latest Verve Pipe song?

Isn't reality TV dead already?

But in the words of Chris Rock, you never, never know.

Ah, the continuing seduction of The Real World concept/contest: It could be YOU. You, the chosen one, deemed by MTV as worthy of airtime.

Hypnotic isn't it?

—By Beth lams with Faran Krentcil

Recreating Kravitz On his latest album, Lenny, the poster boy of posers struggles to come up with something new.

Lenny

Kravitz is easily the craftiest chameleon in the music industry today. Since bursting onto the scene in 1989 with Let Love Rule, Kravitz has impressed with his impressions. From Hendrix to Prince, the resemblance talk has never ceased, . and Lenny, with his Jimi-like guitar distortion and a probable penchant for Purple Rain, has begrudgingly assumed the role of reincarnated rock star. But he is a rock star nonetheless....

Just look at him. If you looked up By David "hip" in the dictionary, you might find a picture of Lenny Kravitz. The man makes Shaft look like Steve Urkel. But even his stylishness causes the comparisons. Remember when he was married to Lisa Bonet?

Between all the dreadlocks and nose rings, it was hard to tell the Kravitzcool from the Cosby kid. If he ever marries Macy Gray, we're going to need nametags.

Which leads us to an interesting question. Can Kravitz's sixth album —simply titled Lenny—put an end to the cloning conversations and establish him as a more unique act?

Nah—but he's too cool to care, and if you like Lenny Kravitz, you probably won't care either.

Kravitz doesn't try anything drastic w Lenny, producing a predictable mix GRADEof mid-tempo vibes with thick rock texC+ tures and the occasional ballad that has become a staple of his music. Actually, the few instances in which he journeys out of his comfort zone prove to be the most disastrous. The experimental looping beat box of "Believe in Me" *

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Kool kid Kravitz is kamera-ready.

is nose-bleed inducing, and the random record scratching of "Pay to Play" falters miserably, as do the inexplicable gunshots and bomb blasts on

"Battlefield of Love."

Kravitz runs into more problems by impersonating himself on "Stillness of Heart," a cut that sounds exactly like his last hit, "Again." I'm not even sure why he bothered to change all the words. Speaking of words, the song Walters goes something (ike this: "I'm out here on the street/ there's no one left to meet/ the things that were so sweet/ no longer move my feet/ I've got more than I can eat/ a life that can't be beat/ yet still I feel the heat/ I'm feeling incomplete" Hmmm—it does rhyme, Lenny.

One gets the feeling that if the first line had ended with the word "orange," it would have been a lot

shorter.

The best moments of Lenny come when Kravitz sticks with what he loes best. "Yesterday is Gone (My ear Kay)" is a vintage wailing power lad that soothes the soul, as does mournful "A Million Miles Away."

"Bank Robber Man," an autobiographical account of Kravitz's false arrest after being mistaken for a criminal in Florida, is a driving rocker that has a legitimate message on racial profiling.

Overall, Lenny proves itself to be your average Kravitz. It's not perfect, but it has its enjoyable moments. In the words of Kravitz himself on the first single, "Dig In": "Once you dig in/,you'll find you'll have yourself a good time."

And you can't argue with someone that cool. □

From Russia With love And Pop The KGB investigates pop and serves up a boy band alternative.

Experientia The Experience Music Proiectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sJEiectric Bus makes a pit stop on West Campus.

Recess climbs on board! for a sneak peek.

Friday, november nine, two thousand one

Have you ever been experiencedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the back of an 18-wheeler?

If not, now's your chance. Next Monday, the Experience Music Project Electric Bus will roll its wheels onto Duke's campus for a week-long visit.

Starting Monday at 9am, the bus, which is actually a semi-truck, will open up for Durham residents and Dukies to take a gander at the 10,000-square-foot music exhibit and make some music of their own The traveling exhibit, which concludes its stay in Chapel Hill today, is divided into three different themes that are displayed in six tents surrounding the bus. Origins and Impact explores the social and historical factors that influence how songs are created, through interviews with songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen and Jill Scott.

The exhibit area is designed to help visitors understand the personal process each artist goes through in creating music. There are also video interviews with Brian Wilson, Joan Baez and others, who discuss the impact specific songs have had on their lives. (Think VHl's Storytellers.)

John Morrison, touring and logistics director for the BMP Bus, describes the Origins and Impact tent as a glimpse into the minds of musicians to understand what music means to them. "Origins and Impact explores questions like 'Why did Bruce Springsteen write "My Hometown"?' and 'Why did Madonna write "Material Girl"?' It also exposes you to thinking about what different songs mean to you."

RECESS

In the Artists and Artifacts section of the bus, you can see bits and pieces of music history on display, like the smashed parts of one of Kurt Cobain's guitars and an original lyric sheet from Bob Dylan. There are even some "hip-hop artifacts" in the mix (maybe Flava-Flav's clock, or a pair of Run DMC's shell-toed Adidas?)

For those of you who still want to be rock stars, you can. make your way over to the "Song Lab," where you'll find an interactive exhibit that allows you to write, record and mix your own songs. The lab also includes a demo stage area staffed by people who will help you learn how to write a song if you're feeling artsy.

By Kelly McVicker Morrison has traveled with the bus on previous tours and says the Song Lab is the part that impacts people the most. "It's really fun to watch people create music for the first time. I've seen three or four people go up to the microphone, and they're all singing together, and they're oblivious to everyone else in the room. And you know, sometimes they're really good and sometimes they're really bad. They finish and they all laugh, but then they're all like 'cool!' Seeing people react like that, seeing them realize that maybe it's not so hard after all, is really amazing."

Morrison and the rest of the BMP staff coordinate the bus's touring schedule as it makes stops across

page seven

the country on college campuses, at music festivals and other special events. According to Morrison, Microsoft Jobs, the project's main sponsor, helps determine where the bus will stop based on colleges they hope to recruit from.

The Electric Bus is an extension of the BMP Museum that opened in Seattle in June 2000. The museum, founded by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) features the world's largest collection of Jimi Hendrix memorabilia and houses interactive' exhibits similar to the ones the bus brings on the road "The museum is 140,000 square feet, so the bus is just a little piece of the museum. We just focused on one aspect of it, and we tried to explore that through the bus" said Morrison.

The museum in Seattle is home to over 80,000 artifacts from music history, including guitars owned

by Bob Dylan, Bo Diddley and other legendary performers. The building, designed by architect Frank Gehry, also houses a restaurant, cocktail bar and 200seat performance theater used for guest lectures, master classes and small performances.

But if you can't make it to Seattle, you can still make it to the Beta parking lot sometime next week.

The interactive exhibit will be open Monday through Thursday from 9am to 7pm and Friday from 9am to spm, and best of all, it's free.

"I think people who come are really going to enjoy it," said Morrison. "We're not selling anybody anything; we're not pitching anybody anything. It's simply about coming to learn about and experience music." â&#x20AC;˘

Monster of a Movie

Monsters, Inc has all the makings of a classic—silly comedy, brilliant visuals and a one-eyed creature. .

Monsters,

Inc., the new computer-animated film from the kids at Disney and Pixar, has humor and heart to spare. The film does not break any new ground or make a dramatic leap in computer-animation technology—instead it relies on more conventional methods to dazzle its audience—sight gags, sound gags and the vocal talents of a gifted comedian (Billy Crystal).

Mike Wazowski (Crystal) is an oddball, eyeball-shaped monster who wears a single contact lens the size of a dinner plate. He's chronically overlooked by his peers, because it's his best friend, James R Sullivan (John Goodman) that everyone wants to see. Mike doesn't care; he lives in blissful ignorance. Besides, he and Sullivan are a team —the best team of "scarers" at Monsters, Inc., an overwhelming corporation that supplies the entire parallel monster universe with energy derived from the screams of frightened kids.

Via what at first appears to be chance, Sullivan and Mike become guardians of a little human girl named 800. After they uncover a fiendish plot being orchestrated by Randall (Steve Buscemi), Sullivan's GRADE: chief competitor at Monsters, Inc., Mike and Sullivan work hard to not only protect 800 from the Child Detection Agency (a lovely "63 MILLION DOLLARS!":We scared up thatmuch money in one weekend?" sight gag with multiple miss-shaped monsters wearing full body biohazard suits—did I mention that the film really hits home?), but also to The animation itself is also top notch, especially the ending chase stop this industry of for-profit scaring—permanently. sequence, which involves a wild ride on conveyor belts with our heroes and Like Toy Story and A Bug's Life, the film's animation is full of gags and villains taking the old "enter-one-door-come-out-another-door" sketch to new jokes that the target audience will never understand but a few heights.

Finally, a film worth seeing! After a chain action movies, Domestic Disturbance provii starved audience with a suspenseful plot ai ented cast. Unlike the flops of the summer fall, this thriller is not set in a major city an not rely on new-age technology to make up of plot. While the story itself is somewhat formulaic, Vince Vaughn, John Travolta and Matthew O'Leary make the movie an excit Set in Southport, on the coast of Maryla Domestic Disturbance is about a divorced couple, Frank and Susan Morrison (Travolta andTeri Polo) and their son Danny's (O'Leary) reactions to his mother's recent TOAVOLTATKlESforhisHollywood-recorclthirdcomeback. marriage to the wealthy Rick GRADE: Barnes (Vaughn), a new arrival to Southport. Although at first we think Danny is being immature and irrational—expressing his anger at his familial situation through mischief, lies and aggression—we soon realize that he is justified in being suspicious of Rick. When Danny finds out that his mother is pregnant, he runs away from her house in hopes of hitching a ride with his new stepfather on the way into town. It turns out � that Rick was never going to town at all, but embarking on another, more chilling errand.

We watch on the edge of our seats as Frank and Danny try to convince Susan of her husband's culpability. Vaughn turns out to be a convincing and terrifying villain and plays back and forth with Travolta to create the same kind of tension seen in Face/Off. Travolta shows his ability to transition into the protective "good guy" and is a believable and touching father. The surprise star of the film is Matthew O'Leary, who steals the show from Vaughn and Travolta with his realistic acting and humor. This was not just a kiddy performance, but real acting. The other peripheral performers were not as impressive. Steve Buscemi was hilarious as usual, but he basically played the same twisted character he always does. Teri Polo was a replica of herself in Meet the Parents, with a few added screams here and there.

Despite a few unrealistic courtroom and police-briefing scenes and a predictable ending, the movie was a relief from recent thriller attempts; and the flaws can easily be overlooked.

Meeting the

expectations?

Microsoft launches two new operating systems: one for the home and one for handhelds. Are they worth the hype? Recess takes a closer look.

With

a multimillion dollar marketing campaign rivaling Hollywood's movies, Microsoft's new operating system, Windows XR has finally arrived. The successor to Microsoft's Ăźbiquitous 98/ME/2000 family of Windows software, the much-hyped XPhas been at the center of many positive reviews as well as controversy.

The biggest question many of you will be asking is "Should upgrade?" The answer is a cautious yes.

Overall, XP is a very solid and versatile operating system that corrects many of the flaws of previous iterations of Windows. The most noticeable difference is that performance-wise the operating system is much faster and more reliable, since it's built on the same 32-bit kernel featured in

By Eric Microsoft's Windows NT and 2000 operating systems. What this means is that you can practically say goodbye to the blue screen of death.

XP also looks completely different than all previous versions of Windows.

While this may take some getting used to, you'll soon find it difficult to dislike the new design. The entire Windows interface has been entirely revamped and is now very streamlined, organized and colorful. Pop-up icons, sidebar menus and automated assistance are offered for a variety of tasks and on practically every explorer screen, making XP extremely user friendly. newest

You can instantly view and create slideshows of images for example, and little touches abound, like the ability to hide the startup icons in the bottom of your screen to create more taskbar room. The new Internet Explorer also has built in media playback, and XP has built in CD burning capabilities, Despite these improvements, Windows XP has also been the subject of some controversy. To combat software piracy, Microsoft has mandated that all users "activate" their copies, which means that you'll have to go online and have your system's hardware info entered into Microsoft's database. Obviously, Choy you therefore won't be able to install XP on more than one computer since their hardware configuration won't match. While it's a clever antipiracy concept, it gets really annoying when you make big changes in your hardware configuration and need to reactivate. People who own more than one computer are out of luck and will have to buy another copy, Furthermore, to enjoy XP benefits, your computer will need to satisfy the hefty system requirements: a Pentium 11-300 or faster, 128MB of RAM, and 1.5G8 of free disk space. In the end, if you can get past the annoyances, then Windows XP remains a very worthwhile upgrade. â&#x2013;Ą

was about even What is the purpose of Awaaz and what can people expect?

NK: The purpose of the show is to entertain and educate the audience

about the South Asian and South Asian-American cultures. So during the show, since part of it is entertainment, we have group dances and songs and musical appearances, skits, a fashion show. It's pretty encompassing of different mediums of performance.

JB: We tried to get a pretty good cross-section of different regions of South Asia as well as different expressions of culture Who participates in the event?

NK: About 175 Duke students participate, South Asian and non-South Asian... It's not really a set core constituency of people. The Diya

members are definitely more present than other groups, but we do get a lot of people outside of that population.

JB: We also have several graduate students performing, so we reach out beyond just the undergraduate population.

NK: And faculty this year, too.

Since the show is free and the dinner is free, where does all the money for the event come from? And what is the budget?

NK: In the past, the budget has been around $lB,OOO and we had to collect that money from quads, houses, businesses off campus. But since the cultural events fund was set up big portion of the iy from that fund, and the rest we've n fundraising through different organiations on campus.

JB; As well as from businesses and

other donations.

How many people usually

come to the show?

JB: We have 500 each night for dinner, and 1000 each night for the show.

So Page pretty much fills up. To what do you attribute the popularity of this event?

JB: We have a long history.

This is the 17th year the show's been running, and it's grown considerably. It started out in a Giles commons room 17 years ago... and just three years ago it moved to Page. So I feel like it's built a name for itself.

NK: And also the participants, since they do come from really diverse backgrounds and different groups of friends, they bring in different types of people as well. And. we also bring in people from the Triangle area who are interested in the South Asian community.

The Diya dinner, catered by Sitar India Palace, is at spm in the Great Hall and the show begins at Bpm in Page Auditorium. Both

events are free but tickets are required and can be found on the BC walkway or at Page box office. □

Duke falls to UVa in ACC tourney Augustus to visit Duke, Goestenkors

By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

2 Last season, the Duke women’s soccer team Duke 1 defied the odds and advanced all the way to the ACC tournament finals after surviving an overtime thriller against Virginia in the first round. This season, however, the Cavaliers (14-3-1) gained revenge on the upstart Blue Devils (8-9), winning the teams’ quarterfinal matchup 2-1 at Wake Forest’s Dennie Spry Stadium in the extra period.

In similar fashion to the most recent contest between Duke and Virginia Oct. 20, the Wahoos scored a goal early in overtime to seal the victory over the Blue Devils. In that game, Cavalier reserve midfielder Erin Englehardt assisted forward Lindsay Gusick for the game-winning goal in Koskinen Stadium.

Virginia

By EVAN DAVIS The Chronicle

This time around, Englehardt was on the receiving end of an assist, as she retrieved a pass from teammate Megan Leo, broke away from the Duke defense and knocked the ball past Duke goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir in the bottom left comer of the goal to conclude the game.

“It was everything we expected,” Virginia coach Steve Swanson said of the hard-fought contest. “Every game in the ACC is a difficult game. We knew it would be a tough game and it was.”

DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

� SARAH PICKENS scored Duke’s lone goal in its 2-1 loss to Virginia in the quarterfinals of the ACCs.

Sports Illustrated for Women asked “Is she the next Michael Jordan?” And that was when Seimone Augustus was 14 years old.

So, you can only imagine why Gail Goestenkors is so excited that the senior from Baton Rouge, La., has decided to visit Duke. After Augustus comes to Durham this weekend on her official visit, Goestenkors and the rest of her potential Duke teammates hope she will return as a Blue Devil next summer.

Earlier in high school, national recruiters held back from Augustus because they believed she was bound for LSU. Recently, however, she has added Duke, Tennessee, Purdue and possibly others to her list.

According to recruiting analyst Bret McCormick, the Blue Devils would be lucky to get her.

“She’s always been good since she was in the ninth grade,” he said. “She’s 6-1, she’s very athletic, she can play multiple positions. She’s a good kid, and focused.

Wrestling starts season amidst high hopes for success

By MICHAEL JACOBSON The Chronicle

TOM CASS will not be competing this year, as he trains at the U.S, Olympic facility.

* McCain wins twice

|

J

Duke freshman Kelly McCain advanced to the second round of the Omni Indoor Championships.

McCain and Julie Deßoo upset the No. 2 seed in doublesplay.

As the wrestling season gets underway tomorrow at the West Virginia open, the Blue Devils seek to improve on what was arguably their best campaign in team history. While featuring a lineup that started four freshmen and the team’s only senior for the majority ofthe season, Duke won 12 dual meets, a team record.

This year’s squad looks to be coach Clar Anderson’s most successful in his five seasons at Duke.

“I’m excited,” senior 197-pounder Daegan Smith said. “Practice has been a lot tougher [this year] and I’m interested to see how we do this weekend.”

After qualifying for the NCAA Championships and coming within an overtime of being named an AllAmerican, 125-pound Tommy Hoang is one of seven seniors who are capable of picking up the intensity when needed.

“I think it was expressed well by Coach one day when he said that this is the most competitive team we’ve ever had, and it’s true,” Hoang said. “You can judge that by how many fights there are in the r00m..,. It’s just because we’re so competitive, everyone wants to win.”

Unlike the beginning of last season, there are few question marks concerning the Blue Devils’ lineup this year. Although the health of senior Jason Gorski might pose a problem for the 149-pound weight class, the lower-weights are essentially the same as they were a year ago. Junior Andy Soliman will most likely fill graduated senior Sean Meakim’s spot at 133 and senior Harry Clarke remains at 141.

Tragedy hits Wake Wake Forest guard Michael Mossbrugger will likely miss the remainder of the football season after his parents and brother died in an apparent drugrelated murder/suicide.

j|/.

The upper-weights, however, will feature familiar faces at different weights. 184-pound Tom Cass, an NCAA qualifier last season, is redshirting his senior year to train at the U.S. Olympic training facility in Colorado Springs, Colo. Cass' spot will be filled by sophomore Frank Comely who was second on the team in wins last year with 26, at 174 pounds. Fellow sophomore Tim Marcantonio will also bump up a weight

class while senior Matt Hoover will remain at 165.

“I think we’ll be more well-rounded,” Smith said of Cass' absence. “I think other people will step up.”

Although Cass' 30 wins a year ago will be missed in the lineup, his void in the practice room will be filled in part by new assistant coach Corey Bell. Bell, who graduated from North Carolina this spring, was a three-time ACC champion for the Tar Heels.

“Tom [Cass] will be back next semester for ‘moral support’,” Hoang added. “He’ll be back in the room and pushing the guys. He’s going to come back next year [from the Olympic training site] real tough.”

While ACC competition is still three months away, Duke sees some of its toughest opponents of the season within the next few weeks. Next weekend’s Keystone Classic, hosted by Pennsylvania, features some of the nation’s toughest teams, including lowa State, who is ranked sixth in the preseason, and Gael Sanderson, a three-time NCAA champion with a perfect 119-0record.

Defending ACC champion N.C. State appears to be the favorite to win the conference this season. The rest of the conference, however, is up for grabs and Duke figures to be in the mix.

Depleted Wildcats upset No. 2 Maryland 71-67

By JIM O’CONNELL The Associated Press

just 71 NEW YORK—In the second game of the UMd. 67 2001-02 college basketball season, Arizona hung up an upset that may be hard to top.

Jason Gardner, the only returning starter from the national runner-up, scored 23. points and the Wildcats shocked No. 2 Maryland 71-67 Thursday night in the opening round of Arizona

the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.

The matchup of half of last season’s Final Four—Maryland lost to Duke in the semifinals—was one of teams facing very different seasons. Arizona had only Gardner back from its starters, while the Terrapins had four back.

But it is the Wildcats who will play No. 6 Florida in Friday night’s championship game at Madison Square Garden.

The Gators beat No. 16 Temple 72-64.

“All the preseason talk; that’s people’s opinions,” Gardner said. “All you can do is hope the team stays within themselves and believes in themselves and stays together. All we can do is believe in ourselves.”

Suddenly, the rest of the country has to start believing in the Wildcats. And it was Gardner whose four-point play gave Arizona the lead for good.

“Six of these kids are freshmen, and to play in the Garden and play against a team the quality of Maryland, certainly that is something that will have

Harold “I’ve got a big” Gut “for a little” Man took notes at the “Buying a pint the Williams Way” forum. Tyler Ros “-y palms” en sat down to hear Terp fans give a seminar on sportsmanship called “Make Every Penny Count.”

Pra “ctically drunk” tik Patel joined Eddie “Haskel” Gieisinger, Thaddeus Par “sley” sons and Drew “you a picture of Mrs.” Klein “naked” also attended.

Paul “Fm a big dorky cheating loser who cannot win at Grid Picks and tries to short-circuit the Socialists because I am jealous of their power, good looks, wealth and success” Doran, Matt “Who is Bill Bell?” Atwood and John “Mother Hubbard” Bush spent the entire day at Gary Williams’ “Overcoming sobriety, one Duke loss at a time” address.

some kids’ knees buckling,” Arizona coach Lute Olson said. “But I didn’t see any of our guys back off.”

Gardner hit a three-pointer with 10:32 left that capped an 8-0 run and gave the Wildcats a 53-45 lead.

The Terrapins, who matched the highest ranking in school history as the preseason No. 2, seemed ready to take control as Juan Dixon started a 15-4 run

with two three-pointers and Maryland had a 60-57 lead with 5:45 to play.

Arizona has five freshmen and a redshirt freshman on its 11-man roster. But the Wildcats played like a veteran team with Gardner, a 5-foot-10 junior who applied for the NBA draft then withdrew his name.

With the game tied at 61, Arizona had trouble getting the ball upcourt against Maryland’s pressure and barely beat the 10-second count across midcourt. The ball swung to Gardner right in front of the Arizona bench and he hit a trey as he was fouled by Lonny Baxter.

“We had trouble against the pressure, but Luke Walton is such a great passer and he found me and I just let it go,” Gardner said of the final tiebreaker. “Baxter came at me, and I thought he got a piece bf it. Then I was on the floor and heard the crowd and said Tt must have gone in.’”

The Wildcats did not trail again as the Terps got within two points three times, the last at 69-67 on a rebound jumper by Chris Wilcox with 4.6 seconds left.

“I can’t tell you how impressed I am with her,” Sharp said. “She’s just so explosive and can do so many things.”

Despite the swarm ofmedia hype that has surrounded her, Beard isn’t concerned over the lofty expectations that accompany such national recognition.

“I’m not worried about it,” she said.

“There is no kind of pressure on me. I just love the game of basketball, and I just love to get out here and play with my other teammates.”

Sunday’s game against the Red Raiders will mark the debuts of Duke’s two much anticipated freshmen, Monique Currie and Wynter Whitley.

Both players expect to play significant minutes, and Whitley will probably start.

In her first action as a Blue Devil, last week’s exhibition against DynamoMoscow, Whitney did not have a stellar game, scoring only four points on 2-of-9 shooting. However, the freshman forward felt the experience she gained playing against the veteran Russians will serve her well Sunday.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Preseason Naismith candidate Plenette Pierson, who averaged 14.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game last year, will duel with Duke’s Iciss Tillis. The sophomore Blue Devil has shown great scoring potential, but rebounding remains a question mark. The other paint role players will be supporting actors to this match-up Preseason All-American Alana Beard is making the transition to point guard, which will be challenging for her, but Duke’s backcourt is loaded with athletic playmaking scorers who can defend. The Red Raiders’ Jia Perkins was a clutch scorer and great defender off the bench last year.

O

WYNTER WHITLEY will play center for Duke as it faces Texas Tech.

“Hopefully, I’ll know what to expect a little bit more,” she said.

Furthermore, Sunday’s nationally televised matchup against the perennial power will represent a significant transition for Whitley, as she moves from past spectator to current participant.

“It is weird; of course I’ve seen Texas Tech play on TV,” Whitley said.

“I’d see them do things and say ‘they’re not that good,’ so now it’s my time to size them up.”

CD

Duke’s bench is slightly depleted since center Crystal White is not fully recovered from a severe ankle injury sustained in the preseason. Michele Matyasovsky and Monique Currie lead Duke off the bench. Tech should have an eight-or nine-woman rotation, with some proven scorers on the bench.

With a marquee tournament in Cameron being broadcast on ESPN, the Blue Devils are hoping for a huge, enthusiastic crowd. If they get their wish, they will benefit from home-court advantage. Otherwise, Texas Tech, who lost just one starter from last year, will have the edge in intangibles.

Both Texas Tech and Duke are young teams that can run. Duke, however, is making somewhat more of a transition —its star player switching from score to distributer. Beard may struggle early on, but Duke has enough talent to fight back. The Blue Devils responded to a major challenge in their preseason game while Tech coasted. This experience will help in a close game. Duke wins 82-76.

� WOMEN’S SOCCER from page 9 For Duke coach Robbie Church, Englehardt’s goal not only represented the possible conclusion to his first season in Durham—pending the upcoming NCAA tournament selections Monday afternoon—but it also constituted a bad case of deja vu from two weeks ago.

More importantly, the course of the game seemed eerily familiar to the negative characteristic he has been unhappy with all season.

“We played well in spurts, but like we’ve done all year, it was only in spurts,” Church said. “We can’t do that playing a great team like Virginia. We’ve got to play the full 90 minutes at this level and at this time of year. That’s one of the reasons we’re going home.”

Only an hour and a half before their gut-wrenching defeat, the Blue Devils seemed well on their way to pulling off an upset similar to last season’s defeat of Virginia. Duke senior Sarah Pickens, who was left off

However, the excitement of Pickens’ goal was short- record had reached the Big Dance, but he expressed lived for the Blue Devils; less than 20 seconds later, optimism about his team’s chances because of its ACC Player of the Year Lori Lindsey received a pass excellent schedule strength and the NCAA’s decision from Cavalier midfielder Laura Gaworecki 12 yards to increase the tournament field to 64 teams.

Whether or not the Blue Devils make it, an obvishy of the goal and chipped a shot into the upper left ously dejected Pickens expressed her regret about her corner to tie the game From that point on, Virginia dominated the field of team’s inability to pull out the big game.

“We’ve had three games go into overtime. With that play, outshooting Duke 21-8. But Helgadottir, a firstteam All-ACC honoree, continuously stifled the kind of experience, we should know how to dig down Cavaliers’ scoring opportunities to keep the game and do what it takes to win,” she said. “But we came out too soft. knotted and forced the extra period.

Now, Duke can only hope the NCAA selection com“She’s been brilliant since the first of October,” mittee comes out soft when it makes it picks. a lot of Church said of the Duke goalie. “She cleans made and decisions good things up for us. She’s made Virginia 2, Duke 1 good saves for us all year. We knew [Virginia] would 0T 1 2 FINAL get its shots, and she made big saves today.”

game. She is just a great player and a great person. “[She is thel number one player in the country.”

Judging by the awards she has received, one would be hard-pressed to argue with McCormick’s assessment.

Named to the USA Today second team and dubbed Junior of the Year by SSN, Augustus averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 5.5 steals per game during her junior season at Capitol High School. Lauded as the Louisiana player of the year, Augustus had to stave off rumors that she would try to graduate high school early, looking to get a jump on college or even heading straight for the WNBA. Augustus comes to Duke to look over the team and see how she would fit in. As a wing guard/forward, her role may be similar to Alana Beard’s. Despite her similarities to Beard and verbally-committed recruit Caitlin Howe, McCormick does not think Augustus will mind sharing the spotlight at times.

“She’s not a selfish player,” he said. “She can blend in. She doesn’t have to score all the time because she is very unselfish. I think she would fit in great.

“I don’t think it will be a problem if she plays with Alana Beard and Caitlin Howe because they will all play well together. They can all be unselfish and they can all score. They’re going to be a triple nightmare for somebody.”

The quiet Augustus believes she could fit in several ways.

“I can be the scorer,” she said. “But, I want to play at point guard.”

Whether Augustus becomes a part of this “triple nightmare” hinges on her visit this weekend. But McCormick is confident that the charms of the Gothic Wonderland will be enough to win over the prize of this year’s senior class.

“I think she will like Duke; I really do,” McCormick said. “What’s not to like about Duke?”

The Chronicle Just say no to ban

Smoking

is a habit that affects not only those that smoke, but also the people nearest to them. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the close atmosphere of the college dormitory. As a result, Campus Council recently called for the University to implement a campus-wide rule in residential halls, prohibiting students from lighting up in their dorm rooms. However, University administrators should be careful before turning such proposals into official policy.

Smoking bans are already in place in halls with central air conditioning, such as Blackwell and Randolph Dormitories on East Campus. Despite such rules, students continue to smoke inside the dorm, spreading second-hand smoke throughout the structure. If the University cannot even enforce a limited smoking ban, it certainly cannot enforce a campus-wide ban. This proposal appears to be just another rule that would carry with it an empty threat of punishment, much like the ban on walking through Duke Clinic to reach Trent Drive Hall from West Campus.

The danger in actually implementing a campus-wide enforced smoking ban is that the University places itself in the awkward position of serving as a surrogate parent for students—a role that administrators should avoid. Certainly if students have issues, health or otherwise, with their neighbors smoking in the room, they should speak up to a residential adviser or other housing official. The University should also take extra care to issue housing assignments based on the smoking status or health preferences of students, as they already do. Placing smokers together as roommates and separating those students bothered by smoke from smokers should significantly eliminate potential conflicts.

The University should enforce its ban on smoking in dorms with central air, as no matter how many precautions smokers take, their second-hand smoke could spread to every room in the building and affect the health of each and every resident. In that case, distance between smokers and health-conscious students would make no difference, and, if central air is included in West Campus renovations, the University should revisit its rules on smoking. Currently, the University’s smoke-free dorms, such as Chatham Dormitory, are viable alternatives. If necessary, the University can create similar options.

Although smoking remains an important issue in the nation, there are much more pressing housing issues for the University to deal with in the coming months. If smoking does come to the forefront of those matters, alternative housing plans and enforcement of existing policies should come first before such drastic rule changes are implemented.

On the record The pressing issue is that graduate students must go forth and make large amounts of money. Ministers’ salaries are significantly lower [than] business and law students.’

Letters to the editor

Army ROTC ensures protesters’ freedom of speech We are certain that most of the student body has seen the pamphlets that tastelessly demean not only the Army ROTC program here at Duke but also the entire U.S. military. The flyers showed the World Trade Center towers in flames or pictures of suffering in Afghanistan coupled with a

supposedly clever phrase and a statement that members of Army ROTC, who are students like others here, are mindless murderers.

This sort of outcry, while it angers and disappoints military personnel and their supporters, cannot help but call to mind the duties of the American soldier. Each person who dons the uniform has sworn allegiance to the

Constitution of the United States and has thus sworn to defend the liberty of every American set forth in the Bill of Rights with his life. This includes the right to free speech and the right to protest. These rights have been ensured over the last 225 years by the actions of countless American soldiers who died so that their fellow Americans could live more freely than the people of any other nation. It has been said many times before but perremembered haps not enough: Freedom is not free; it is bought with the blood, toil and sweat of the American soldier.

To you who bravely expressed your right to free speech here on campus but

seemingly did not care to take pride in your right by claiming your opinion: Every member of the United States military has taken an oath to lay down his or her life for you. It is because of soldiers that you are free to protest, free to be tasteless, free to be ignorant, free to think you are clever. So revel in your liberty; rejoice in your freedom; this freedom, you can be assured, we’ll defend to our last.

‘Secrecy and shame’ of eating disorders must end I am writing to praise and thank Mary Adkins for her Nov. 1 column on eating disorders. As I was reading it, all I could think was “Yes.” The secrecy and shame of eating disorders has to stop.

I, too, have suffered from an eating disorder during my early teens, and though I am

family and friends involved. I do not wish an eating disorder on anyone; the horror of self-entrapment cannot be truly expressed on paper and

therefore makes the disease a mystery to those who don’t have it. But Adkins is right.

We must try and express it and pull eating disorders out ofthe dark comers and whispered gossip.

I am not ashamed to say

SHARE proposes other housing relocation spots In light of the recent housing developments and in the midst of constant

debate

our

own

organization, I am writing to

publicly change SHARE’S housing preferences for the 2002-2003 Academic year. In the Oct. 29 issue of The Chronicle, SHARE’S housing preferences were listed in this order: 1) Central Campus 2) Epworth 3) Edens 3A/38.

As the result ofmuch discussion, SHARE has decided on a new set of housing preferences. Our first choice is now the Chapel. Our second choice is now the President’s House. And our third choice is Universitybuilt tree houses in the Sarah P, Duke Gardens.

We feel that these new housing preferences better reflect the values that SHARE has come to repre-

sent and that we wish to convey to future rush classes.

SHARE is disappointed about our forced move to West Campus but has decid-

ed to make the best of it. We

appreciate everyone’s sup-

port in what we know will be a difficult time of adjustment for the coming year.

Wednesday, The {Daily Mississipian’s] editorial board decided Auburn’s guilty fraternities should be expelled from the campus; the guilty students should be expelled from the school.

The same applies to the Ole Miss chapter of Alpha Tau Omega and its members.

Because of their carelessness and insensitivity, Ole Miss will be forced to deal with the bad publicity their actions have afforded us—bad publicity that the majority of Ole Miss students don’t deserve.

The Daily Mississippian (University of Mississippi), Nov. 8, once pictures of their fraternity members surfaced on the Internet, similar to the situation at Auburn.

Advocating this form of harassment on your own time and in your own home is not illegal, but is deplorable. When a university-sanctioned organization takes on such views, however, the issue comes in conflict with nearly every university’s code of conduct or ethics.

These unsuspecting party-goers were stupid to dress as Klansmen in the first place; they were even stupider to post their discrimination on the Internet. Auburn now must handle a moronic situation with the utmost sensitivity.

The Daily Technician (North Carolina State University), Nov. 8, reacting to the events at Auburn.

The dozen or so events planned each year include a student/faculty/administration interaction dinner, performances, speakers and forums, dancing events and much more. As Latino Heritage Month has grown over the years, we have seen a steady increase of students from diverse backgrounds showing active curiosity and interest about the culture and associated political and social issues surrounding Latinos as in the United States.
