THE BRYAN CENTER and the West Union Building will comprise the two student-oriented centers that will make a social “village,” in Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta’s plan.

Moneta plans ‘village’ of student space

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

The long-discussed renovations to the Bryan Center and West Union Building may soon become a reality, but not before a little more planning.

With much of the groundwork laid for implementing the upperclass residential life plan, Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, is looking

now to begin a discussion on upgrading student social space. Focusing on a “village” comprised of the two main

student centers plus Page Auditorium, the Flowers Building and the new

parking garage and auxiliary services building, Moneta hopes to modernize spaces often characterized as crowded, disorganized and unwelcoming.

“I think it’s really an interesting

question to ask ourselves, ‘What is the student center for the 21st century?’”

Moneta said. “I see the next few months as a time for fact-gathering on what are the best uses for these spaces.”

Currently the buildings house a fluctuating variety of offices, gather-

ing areas, restaurants and stores. The area has seen several changes in the See VILLAGE on page 9

hopes will lead the charge.

Tracy Futhey, currently vice provost and chief information officer at Carnegie Mellon University, will join Duke in March as vice president for information technology, Executive Vice President Tollman Trask announced Thursday.

The position includes a wide range of responsibilities, from managing the operations of the Office of Information Technology to implementing the University’s various computing initiatives. Most recently, those initiatives have included furthering the use of technology in academics with a campus-wide wireless network, more instruction in technology use and better computing infrastructures for classrooms.

Administrators pointed to Futhey’s experience with such initiatives as one of her greatest strengths.

“Futhey seems to have the complete package of all the skills, with the ex-

ministrative systems.

“It’s not often that you go through a national search, with a very strong and diverse committee that represents all the different areas on campus that are touched by information technology, and end up with a candidate that sweeps the field,” said Provost Peter Lange. “She also seems to be a person who understands very well the risks that there are in over-committing too quickly in particular technologies or particular investments.”

Officials present neighborhood revitalization plans

By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

Durham Housing Authority officials Thursday presented plans to turn a low-income community into a revitalized neighborhood with residents of mixed incomes.

But some citizens who attended the presentation feared that rising property values might induce an affordable housing shortage that would drive out many of the current residents of North-East Central Durham, some of whom five in public housing.

Officials hope to use $35 million in federal Hope VI funds to rebuild the neighborhood, which is home to the 240unit public housing complex of Few Gardens. The area currently contains many run-down buildings, and crimes like drug dealing often take place there as well, said Willie Jones of The Community Builders, Inc., a Boston-based consulting firm that is working with the city’s housing authority on the redevelopment project.

“What’s presented here is not a mealy-mouthed or subtle approach,” Jones said. ‘We wanted to be aggressive in terms of making change.... Our goal is to transform North-East Central Durham into a neighborhood people live in by choice, not necessity.”

Under the plan, some existing homes in the neighborhood would be tom down and replaced; a new park would be created in part of the Few Gardens area.

That disturbed residents who do not want to move.

Sharon Lyons, a resident of North Goley St., said her house was built re-

Some residents feared the redevelopment would cause an affordable housing shortage. cently through Habitat for Humanity and is in' good condition. “I have been in my brand new home for only four years, and Ido not want to see my house pushed down,” she said.

The rebuilt neighborhood would contain between 575 and 650 total housing units, with 350 to 450 designed for rental and 150 to 225 for home ownership, Jones said. The figures are more ambitious than those in the original 425-unit Hope VI proposal the housing authority presented to the federal government in July.

A larger number of properties would also be designed to be sold or leased at market value, Jones said. That could bring some higher-income residents into the area as well. “You want a mixed-income neighborhood, and if you want property values to appreciate, you have to have that,” he said.

But some feared that an increase in home values could lead to a situation in which low-income residents cannot afford to live in the area, and current residents, many of whom are black, might be driven out.

“Is my community going to change colors because you’re going to come and put

in units that some of us can’t afford?”

North-East Central Durham resident Tony Garrett asked Jones during a question-aiid-answer period.

And Stephen Matherly, a recent candidate for Durham City Council, asked whether the neighborhood might not take on a more high-income, “gentrified” feel if residents buy homes and later sell them as property values rise, further eliminating the availability of affordable housing.

“It may be slow-motion gentrification, but it’s gentrification,” he said.

Jones said rental properties could be protected from such sales, but added that

homeowners should be allowed to sell

their houses. “The slow-motion gentrification that you talked about is one of the challenges,” he admitted. “But I think the flip side is you want to have a neighborhood that people fight for. And you can’t have it both ways.”

The neighborhood would also gain a regional rail station along its southern edge, said Juanita Shearer-Swink of the Triangle Transit Authority. The station would run next to an existing railroad line and would not run through any

homes, she said.

Jones estimated that construction on the Hope VI redevelopment would take place between 2002 and 2004, while the rail system might arrive between 2007 and 2010.

Filling directorship proves difficult Easley declines Black Church Studies still searching for director 2 years later Rose clemency

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

The Divinity School is hoping to find a new director for the Office of Black Church Studies by the end of the semester, a position that has been empty for over two years.

Since Rev. Jarrett Gray left the position, the Divinity School has offered the job to four candidates, all of whom turned it down, said Willie Jennings, dean of Academic Affairs for the Divinity School.

Gregory Jones, dean ofthe Divinty School, said filling the position is one of the school’s top priorities this year.

Jay Carter was offered the position in spring 2000, but instead accepted an assistant professor position within black church studies.

Willie Jennings The director position combines both faculty and administrative responsibilities and Carter said he preferred a position that concentrated only on teaching and research. “[Filling the position] is not an easy thing to do because it is a hybrid position,” Jennings said. “The thought of coming to Duke is daunting enough, not even taking into account the hugeness of the job.”

In addition to the difficulties of finding someone to take on both administrative and teaching responsibilities, Carter said the Divinity School’s commitment to having a director with both academic interest and experience in black church life and extensive education in the field has made filling the position difficult.

“That combination in one person is not usual,” Carter said. “That it has taken two years to find someone to fill the spot is not at all hard to believe.”

Jennings said the black church studies office currently provides leadership, curriculum and support for

students, as well as an invitation to a wide black Christian community.

He said he has three goals for the new director: more research focused on black Christian thought and life, training the next generation of Christian leaders and helping the Duke community and the black community that surrounds the University.

Jones also said he hopes the new director will foster racial reconciliation within the Divinity School.

“We are one of the major links of the University to the Durham community,” Jennings said. “We have a direct link to many of the black churches in this area, and in many ways, the Durham community claims ownership of [black church studies].”

Rodney Sadler, the interim director ofthe office, said this relationship allows the University to have one of the nation’s most prominent black church studies programs.

The Duke Divinity School is one of only a few that still requires a course in black church studies. The office also offers workshops and lecture series.

In addition to making ties to the Durham community, Jennings said the office also serves as a source of support for black students at the University. He said he hopes the new director will further these relations.

“In the last year, the Divinity School has made significant strides to hear a variety of different voices in regards to the hurts of this issue [of racial reconciliation] ,” Sadler said.

“Even though we are talking about reconciliation, we are living in a different community in the Divinity School,” he said.

Despite the obstacles in filling the position, Jones said he thinks having Jennings as part of the Divinity School makes it appealing to prospective members,

including a new director.

“Willie Jennings has helped make us a more attractive place for black scholars to be,” Jones said. “I think he will continue to attract more black students and faculty.”

From staff and wire reports

Condemned killer John Hardy Rose was scheduled to die by injection at 2 a.m. today in the Central Prison death chamber.

Rose, 43, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1991 death of Patricia Stewart, who lived below him in a Robbinsville apartment building.

His appeals exhausted, Rose refused to ask Gov. Mike Easley for clemency. There were no plans to file any last-minute court requests seeking a stay of execution, said his attorney, Michael Minsker of Charlotte.

Pope John Paul II asked Easley—who is Catholic—to spare Rose’s life in a letter written by the Vatican ambassador to the United States.

Minsker provided Easley’s office with information it requested relating to Rose’s mental disorder, which was not provided to jurors, he said. But Thursday . night Easley decided not to grant Rose clemency.

Rose would be the fifth prisoner executed in North Carolina this year. The last time five prisoners were executed in the state in one year was in 1953.

N.C., Va. lawmakers hold first high-speed rail meeting: Legislators from North Carolina and

Virginia met Wednesday in Raleigh to discuss highspeed train service between Charlotte and Washington, D.C. The two-state committee met for the first time to begin the thorough preparation process for federal funding.

With trains reaching speeds of 110 mph, the high-speed service would reduce the current 10hour Amtrak trip by over two hours. Current estimates for the project, expected to begin operation in 2010, place costs between $2.5 billion and $3 billion.

Justice Department offers citizenship for terrorist leads

Ashcroft said escaped fugitive Clayton Lee Waagner is behind the fake anthrax letters that have been sent to abortion clinics KAREN GULLO

WAqutv nrr

Jr

SoCiated Press

The Justice Department Ihursday offered the prospect of American citizenship, including a promise to ignore visa problems, to entice foreigners to come forward with information about terrorists.

10 P e°pl e who have the courage to make the . right choice deserve to be welcomed as guests into our country and perhaps to one day become fellow citizens,” Attorney General John Ashcroft said.

In other developments Thursday, Ashcroft said that one of the FBI slO most wanted fugitives, prison escapee Clayton Lee Waagner, is behind a string of anthrax hoax —

A^

letters sent to abortion clinics.

The FBI also said that one of the Sept. 11 hijackers used the Virginia address of an Indonesian man now in custody to gain entry to the United States.

The citizenship-for-information program was the latest appeal by the Justice Department to elicit help from the public in tracking down terrorists.

Hundreds of Middle Easterners have been swept up in the terrorism investigation, drawing complaints from civil rights and Muslim-American groups.

The “responsible cooperators program” would defer deportation indefinitely for foreigners with visa problems and would allow outsiders to enter the country and eventually apply for citizenship.

Foreigners must provide “reliable and useful” information that helps investigators track down terrorists or avert an attack, Ashcroft said.

“It does not necessarily have to lead to a conviction, and it doesn’t have to be comprehensive,” he said. “It might be that it’s a missing link in a chain of evidence that allows us to actually do something.”

Ashcroft said investigators “have clear evidence” that Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network were responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks and that alQaeda members are in the United States. “Non-citizens are often ideally situated to observe the early stages of terrorist activity,” he said The announcement was a switch from the hard line the department has taken since Sept. 11 against immigration violators.

More than 600 men from Arab and Muslim countries are in custody for immigration violations and other non-terrorism allegations, and authorities want to question 5,000 other Middle Eastern men in connection with the investigation.

Investigators have been told to check their immigration status and hold those with problems. Ashcroft said foreigners who report to the FBI or U.S. embassies overseas with information about terrorists will not be questioned about their immigration status.

The new program could provide an incentive to get those in custody to cooperate and to encourage those wanted for voluntary questioning who have immigration problems.

“Some visitors may be hesitant to come forward with their information because of their immigration status,” Ashcroft said. “They may rest assured that the United States welcomes any reliable and useful information that they can provide. In return, we will help them make America their home.”

A program started after the 1993 World Trade Center attack offers foreigners a special visa if they provide critical information about criminal activities or terrorists that could endanger their lives. The “S” visas are nicknamed “snitch visas.” As many as 250 such visas can be offered annually; last year 106 people and 122 of their family members received the visas. There is no limit on the number of people who can apply for the new program.

Ashcroft “also asked Americans to be on the lookout for Waagner, a convicted felon who escaped from an Illinois jail last February. The FBI says Waagner has claimed responsibility for sending more than 280 letters to abortion clinics across the United States.

Meanwhile, a federal magistrate in Alexandria, Va., ordered Agus Budiman, 31, held without bail on grounds that prosecutors had shown he had close ties to some of the Sept. 11 hijackers.

acterized the government’s case as “smoke and mirrors,” saying Budiman had only a passing acquaintance with the hijackers through a Hamburg, Ger-

many, mosque.

He said there was no evidence that showed Budiman shared the hijackers’ views about the United States or knew of their plot.

Gomez testified that Ziad Jarrah, suspected of flying the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, listed Budiman’s address on a visa application to get into the United States.

He also testified that Ramsi Binalshibh, labeled “the 20th hijacker” by the FBI because agents believe he was supposed to have been aboard the Pennsylvania flight, twice tried unsuccessfully to use Budiman’s address to get into the country,

Thrash said the two men used Budiman’s address without permission and suggested that an acquaintance of Budiman, Mohammed Bin Nasser Belfas, may have given them the address.

Budiman, a driver for a food delivery service, is charged with helping Belfas, a fellow Indonesian, fraudulently obtain a Virginia ID card. Belfas’ whereabouts are unknown.

In Denver, one of the men named on a Justice Department list of 104 people charged with federal crimes in the terror investigation was in custody along with his brother.

Arsalan Absar Rizvi, 26, posted $lO,OOO bond in a state domestic violence case, but was being held by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Goldberg said.

Bush defends military tribunals, questioning of non-citizens Poll suggests 60 percent of Americans support military trials for suspected non-citizen terrorists

By RON FOURNIER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON Brushing aside criticism, President George W. Bush defended his authorization of military tribunals and the questioning of Middle Easterners in the United States. “We’re an open society, but we’re at war,” the president said Thursday.

“We will act with fairness and we will deliver justice, which is far more than terrorists ever grant to their innocent victims,” the president told federal prosecutors visiting the White House.

The speech was Bush’s most forceful defense of the administration’s investigation tactics after the Sept. 11 attacks. The tactics include authorization of military courts to try non-citizen suspects, interviews with hundreds of people of Middle Eastern descent, secret detentions and the monitoring of jailhouse conversations between lawyers and clients.

Military tribunals can hold closeddoor trials and afford fewer rights for the accused than civilian US. courts.

For example, two-thirds of a jury can convict in a military court, as opposed to the unanimous civilian court verdicts.

Bush, citing precedent from World War II and the Civil War, signed an order to authorize the courts and give himself power to decide who would be tried before them.

Aides say it could be weeks or months before the first tribunal is formed, if ever.

Some lawmakers have questioned whether the military courts would vio-

late due process rights. Bush’s response: “Non-U.S. citizens who plan and/or commit mass murder are more than criminal suspects. They are unlawful combatants who seek to destroy our country and our way of life. And if I determine that it is in the national security interests of our great land to try by military commission those who make war on America, then we will do so.”

Applause filled the theater where prosecutors gathered, across a private street from the West Wing. White House lawyers say military trials, which can be conducted overseas or aboard ships, might be needed to protect jurors, ensure safe trials and keep confidential intelligence from becoming public.

“We’re an open society, but we’re at war. The enemies declared war on us,” Bush said. “We must not let foreign enemies use those forms of liberty to destroy liberty itself. Foreign terrorists and agents must never again be allowed to use our freedoms against us.”

A majority of Americans —six in 10—supported holding military trials for suspected non-citizen terrorists, according to a recent poll. About nine in 10 said they support the detentions of more than 600 people in the terrorism investigation.

Bush also defended the Justice Department’s attempt to interview American residents of Middle Eastern descent, including those with no known connection to the attacks.

U.N. extends aid Taliban, Alliance fight for Kandahar program for Iraq A unanimous Security Council extended the oil-for-food humanitarian program for at least six months and prepared to overhaul the U.N. sanctions against Iraq next year.

By EDITH LEDERER The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS The Security Council unanimously approved a resolution Thursday extending the U.N. humanitarian program in Iraq and setting the stage for an overhaul of U.N. sanctions against Baghdad next year.

The resolution was drafted by the United States and Russia, which have been feuding over policy toward Iraq for several years, and marked another sign of growing cooperation between Washington and Moscow, especially since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

Disputes over Iraq usually left extension of the oilfor-food humanitarian program to the last moment.

But the U.S.-Russian compromise enabled the council to approve a six-month extension one day before the current phase expires at midnight Friday.

U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte called it “a very important step forward and another example of strong unity and consensus within the Security Council.”

Tunisia had threatened to block consensus unless the council included a provision authorizing the return to Iraq of civilian aircraft stranded in Tunisia and Jordan since the 1991 Gulf War. But it dropped the demand after behind-the-scenes diplomatic pressure from Washington, Western diplomats said.

The oil-for-food program allows Iraq to sell unlimited quantities of oil on condition that the proceeds are spent on food, medicine and other humanitarian

goods, and war reparations.

When the program came up for renewal in June, the United States and Britain tried to include a sanctions overhaul plan tightening the 11-year-old military embargo on Saddam Hussein’s regime and clamping down on Iraqi oil smuggling while easing the flow of civilian goods into Iraq.

A list of dual-use and military-related goods needing review was a key part of the proposal.

But Washington and London shelved the plan when the Russians threatened a veto. Russia, Iraq’s closest Security Council ally and a major beneficiary of contracts to purchase Iraqi oil and to sell Iraq humanitarian supplies, saw the goods review list as a threat to its commercial interests.

Under the compromise reached this week, Russia agreed to approve by May 30 a new list of goods needing UN. review before shipment to Iraq. A provisional list ranging from night vision goggles to radar and telecommunications equipment was attached tu the resolution.

The United States, in turn, agreed to Russia’s longstanding demand for “a comprehensive settlement” of the sanctions issue—including steps leading to lifting the military embargo imposed after Iraq’s 1990 inva-

ATTACKS from page 2 as saying. “Now we have the opportunity to fight against the infidels,” meaning non-Muslims. The Taliban official spoke by telephone from the border town of Spinboldak on condition of anonymity.

Kandahar residents arriving at the Pakistani border town of Chaman said the Taliban appeared determined to defend Kandahar rather than abandon it as they did Kabul, Herat and other cities.

“They gave the impression that they are ready to fight,” said a man who identified himself by the single name gf Ataullah.

However, Stufflebeem said it was unclear how many Taliban leaders would stick with Omar, calling the Islamic movement “fractured.”

“There are some commanders who are negotiating for surrender of their forces. There are others who might take Mullah Omar’s orders literally and intend to dig in defensively and fight to the death,” Stuffiebeem said.

In the center of Kandahar, at an intersection called Martyr’s Crossing, the Taliban hanged a man they accused of pointing out potential bombing targets after he was caught speaking on a satellite telephone, the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press reported.

This week, the alliance’s foreign minister, Abdullah, said the alliance was dispatching Pashtun commanders to the south to work with Pashtuns who have

rebelled against the Taliban. Some Pashtuns— Afghanistan’s dominant group—are now coordinating operations with the alliance, which is mostly made up of ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks.

Forces loyal to Mullah Naqib, a Pashtun guerrilla commander in the war against the Soviets, and others allied with a former Kandahar governor, Gul Aga,

have been moving on Kandahar for days. Gul Aga’s fighters claim they are within one-and-a-half miles of the Kandahar airport.

More than 1,000 U.S. Marines began setting up a base in the desert of southern Afghanistan last weekend in preparation for a showdown with the Taliban.

The Taliban had controlled about 95 percent of Afghanistan before the Northern Alliance, backed by punishing U.S. airstrikes, forced them to abandon Kabul and most of the country this month.

Taliban fighters withdrew to the ethnic Pashtun areas of the south where their movement was organized in the early 19905. Taliban officials now claim to control four of the 30 Afghan provinces.

President George W. Bush launched military operations against Afghanistan on Oct. 7 after the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, the main suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

In other developments: A U.S. official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there were credible reports that Taliban intelligence chief Qari Ahmadulla had defected to Northern Alliance rebels. But a defense official said Ahmadulla was still negotiating for his surrender.

At U.N.-sponsored talks in Germany, the Northern Alliance made a major concession that could pave the way for international peacekeepers to restore order in Afghanistan. The alliance dropped objections to an international force to help secure the peace during an interim administration that will govern until a council of tribal elders meets in March.

Alliance forces have captured Ahmed Abdel-Rahman, a bin Laden follower whose father is jailed in the United States for plotting to blow up New York’s World Trade Center in 1993.

Both North Carolina and Virginia are spending state funds in preparation for high-speed service, but will require assurance that the federal government will continue to provide financial support before the trains begin operation, said state Sen. Wib Gulley, D-Durham.

Service between Charlotte and Washington constitutes the first leg of the Southeast Corridor, which will eventually expand south to include South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama.

Lawmakers consider public record limits: North Carolina lawmakers are con-

sidering legislation that would limit the public’s access to government records.

Some of the legislation responds directly to the Sept. 11 attacks, designed to keep government security plans away from would-be terrorists. Other measures were being considered before the attacks.

“We’re all plowing new ground here. Security is something that didn’t pop up much in

the general statutes until September 11,” said Hugh Stevens, general counsel for the North Carolina Press Association. “What concerns me is that people who are traditionally skeptical about the need for public access are likely to take advantage of this opportunity.... If there’s a door open, they’ll try to drive a truck through it.”

The proposals range from keeping school emergency response plans secret to allowing city councils or county commissioners to pass security plans with just the amount spent remaining public.

Easley approves bio-terrorism legis-

lation; Under penalties signed into law Wednesday by Easley, individuals convicted of a fatal chemical or biological attack could be charged with first-degree murder and possibly face a death sentence. The law also penalizes anyone convicted of a hoax involving fake chemical or biological substances.

“This new law will give prosecutors and law enforcement the strongest tools possible to punish anyone engaging in terrorist acts,” Easley said during a signing ceremony.

The law is part of three pieces of legislation passed in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. A bill allowing Easley to spend as much as $3O million in state reserves to bolster security has already been signed into law.

Easley also signed a bill Wednesday to create a registry of labs that keep one of 48 chemical or biological substances.

agreed truce.

Tension has been high in the region since Israel killed a leading Hamas militant Friday, which sparked several revenge attacks, including an outbreak of shooting by Palestinians in the northern Israeli town ofAfula Tuesday.

Israeli government spokesperson Avi Pazner blamed Arafat for Thursday’s bus attack—even though in recent days the Palestinian Authority had implored militant groups not to stage attacks in Israel.

“These terrorist attacks are the means by which the Palestinian Authority undermines the peace mission of Gen. Zinni,” Pazner said. “This is a very serious escalation, the responsibility for which is entirely on the Palestinian Authority.”

In Ramallah, where Zinni had been meeting with Palestinian leaders Thursday, the Palestinian leadership issued a statement “condemning all

the terror attacks that are targeting al-Sharkiyeh, a Palestinian town just across the line between the West civilians from both sides.”

The statement promised “every Bank and Israel.

Chair will be responsible for photonics P ENGINEERING from page 1

back candidates to whom the search committee has already spoken.

The department hopes to grow in the information technology field over the next five years—from telecommunications to e-commerce and security to all-optical networks.

The largest undertaking is the Fitzpatrick Center for Photonics and Communications, which will occupy one of the two wings in the new Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering

and Applied Sciences.

Photonics, the study of massless packets of light known as photons, has applicable uses in optics, laser technology, electrical engineering, materials science and information storage and processing, and is one of the school’s three strategic initiatives.

“The [information] technology in ECE is one of the most rapidly growing fields and we need someone in a leadership role who can utilize the expertise of our faculty members,” said Gary Ybarra, director of undergraduate studies.

Strobehn, however, said the new chair will not necessarily be a photonics expert. Last year, David Brady arrived at Duke to head the

photonics initiative; Johnson is also an expert in the field. Currently, Hisham Massoud is serving as the interim chair.

“Obviously that’s an area that’s important for us, but we feel the search should fundamentally be wide open, and we have enough flexibility as we look forward at the department,” Strobehn said.

John Board, associate professor, works in computer engineering and said that the chair must work hard to ensure not aH resources go toward photonics.

“I think the notion our dean has brought to us in making photonics one of the principle thrusts is a good one,” Board said. “The challenge for the chair is that we pay attention to the rest of ECE as well. There are other things besides photonics in the department.”

He said Duke has drawn a lot of interest because potential chairs would not have to stop conducting research and that the department is smaller than those at other universities where the electrical and computer engineering faculty is larger than Pratt’s entire engineering faculty.

The new chair will join three

other new chairs in the Pratt School of Engineering: Roni Avissar, chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Morton Friedman, chair of Biomedical Engineering and Kenneth Hall, chair of Mechanical Engineering and Material Sciences.

Johnson said that new leadership was important for the school as it looks to significantly expand into the new engineering building.

She noted that the previous chairs had been in those positions for some time and that they now wanted to focus more on research.

“It’s just a long time to be serving in the position,” she said.

Ybarra said the faculty have met with a handful of candidates in person and that the pool has been out-

standing. “[Candidates] stressed things from interdisciplinary research activities to creating one of the best undergrad programs in ECE in the nation,” Ybarra said.

“There were multiple candidates who talked about incredible opportunities for collaborative research in

the Medical Center and more research programs at the undergraduate level.”

Officials likely to prioritize student group office space VILLAGE from page 1 past year, including cosmetic alterations and a new box office in the Bryan Center. And it will soon see more differences, such as a temporary

multicultural center

in the current Craft Center and renovations to the West Union by food provider ARAMARK Corp.

The plan for the parking garage and adjoining building will free up space in both the Bryan Center and the West Union, and combined with the arrival of Moneta, the buildings may bring a more holistic vision into focus. Administrators are prepared to spend about $2O million to renovate the four buildings and help fund the new building, but as with similar conversations during the past two decades, the University faces numerous options and competing ideas.

One major priority for renovations is likely to be increasing student office space. Most student groups currently are housed in the Bryan Center’s main office area, seen as inadequate and too small for the number of groups occupying the space. Many groups, for example, share a single phone line.

“Student groups simply don’t have enough space, and I think it’s time to think about the big picture rather than putting people in areas just because there is space available,” said junior Brady Beecham, president of the Duke University Union.

Traditionally the Union has had some authority to allocate space in the Bryan Center. Although a Board of Trustees resolution in May granted Moneta all authority to allocate stu-

dent residential and social space, he said he hopes to involve students, especially Union and Duke Student Government officials, in examining student unions at other schools.

Beecham noted, however, that the Bryan University Center has traditionally offered, as its full name indicates, a place for the whole University, with the dual goals of providing student social space and broader, community services.

Those services have an important role, said DSG President C.J. Walsh.

“I think it would be nice if a student center was actually a student center, with a computer cluster, even [Counseling and Psychological Services], the Career Center, things that people use. so students can really focus on one place to go,” Walsh said.

Some of the services in the current “village” buildings—possibly including the Textbook Store, Duke Barber Shop and The Chronicle’s offices—are likely to move into the new building. It is to be built near the current Bryan Center parking lot, and is scheduled to break ground in mid-spring. Other schools’ student unions, such as the one at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, already emphasize more student space. Administrators there

are adding a new 40,000-square-foot wing to the building, with student meeting and office space.

“The union philosophy here is different from other places, in that we don’t have a lot of revenue generation,”

said Scott Hudson, assistant director

of the union at UNC-CH. “Our union is a lot more lounge areas, meeting space

CROWDED OFFICE SPACE in the Bryan Center is one problem students and administrators hope to address during discussions about renovating student space. for student organizations and offices for student organizations.”

Whatever the balance of stores and restaurants to purely student areas, the spaces may include more mixing of administrators and students. Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs, said that having student groups located next to an office for their advisors may create more community.

Renovating the various buildings in the “village” has been an issue almost as far back as the Bryan Center’s completion in 1981. The issue was a top priority for Trask when he arrived at Duke in 1995, and several committees have since studied potential changes. The renovations were delayed while administrators focused on residential changes.

Trask now credits Moneta with rejuvenating the process.

“I’ve got a client,” Trask said. “I

have somebody who wants to do something.”

The residential life changes—including the renovation of Main West Campus and the construction of the WestEdens Link—allow for more flexibility and creativity in looking at social space, said Judith White, assistant vice president and director of the Residential Program Review. The new and renovated housing will likely feature several new social areas, including the WEL’s tower, as well as a wider diversity of meeting areas—spaces that White said will allow the University to be unique in re-evaluating its student unions.

“We’ve gone through this exercise of trying to see what models there are out there, and what I’ve observed is that the student centers are really intrinsic to the place,” White said. “We really have to decide what combination of those will work at Duke,”

Futhey oversaw a range of projects at Carnegie Mellon that integrated technology on campus and into classrooms, including Wireless Andrew and Handheld Andrew, which together allow campus-wide access to the Internet via laptops and handheld devices. She also developed programs in wireless laptop checkout and campuswide scheduling, and said enthusiasm for innovative ideas helped attract her to Duke.

“The commitment in Duke’s strategic plan to work toward further integration of technology into academics and other aspects of university life is what persuaded me to consider the po-

sitionFuthey wrote in an e-mail.

“Once I visited the campus, it was clear from everyone I met that that commitment was recognized throughout the university and that there was considerable momentum around the IT aspects of the plan.”

Futhey received bachelor of science and master of science degrees from Carnegie Mellon, where she had previously served as executive director of computing services.

As part of a growing effort to increase the diversity of the higher-level University administration, the search committee had made an effort to recruit a diverse applicant pool. Morgan characterized the final pool as diverse in both race and gender. He and other administrators said they were pleased to find a woman for the position, but that diversity was a challenge due to the nature of the position.

“The pool was not as diverse as one might hope, but for that particular job it was pretty good,” Trask said.

Bottled with Bite Leave Evian for the naive. Check out the new bottled water, one that's not only vapor distilled but also seasoned with fruit. That's right, with Glaceau's American launch you can enjoy six new flavors of water, including Dragonfly fruit, peach ginseng, grapefruit cranberry, earl green tea and my favorite, lemon ginger. The water is zero calorie, super-trendy and often spotted next to a pair of little black pants. Made in Canada, the stuff proclaims to be "the best drink you've ever had," and strangely enough, it could be. Hints of fruit leak into your mouth with every sip, and even if you refill the bottle with normal water, the essence of peach or lemon is still there in the bottle.

Much lighter than fruit juice but cooler than water, this Glaceau stuff is really fun to drink, and even more fun to mix-and-match. The best combo so far? Earl Green Ginseng Peach for a wakeup call, Lemon Ginger Cranberry Grapefruit for lunch (or even better, for an evening cocktail, mixed in with peach schnapps or ginger ale and gin). It's weird to be so obsessed with water, but really, this stuff is so good. And oh yes, available beneath the East Union on food points.

Billy Bob Thornton goes noir in The Man Who Wasn’t There.

As

critics never fail to note, the Brothers Coen are some kind of film savants—they know everything about movies and nothing about life. In the course of nine films, they have plundered the dark sleaze and high camp of allAmerican film tradition, yet for all this R p oreg reverence, they remain irreverent in their refusal to take seriously the pathetic and often gruesome worlds they present on screen.

Now the Brothers Grim are back, with The Man Who Wasn't There. After stumbling with unrestrained excess of Americana in last year's Oh Brother Where Art Thou, the Coens have now made a quiet, ponderous piece that is more detached from its own machinations than anything seen from them before. Its world comes alive, if only to desperately want to take a nap. The result is both painfully slow-paced ancfVvholly absorbing, an intricately crafted empty jar. *

Crane's debonair looks belie his morbidly banal nature, as he drifts through life with a barber job stale as his marriage.

This human blank slate is the kind of noir fixture, aimless and none too bright, that pops up without a oen Brot^ers m - Here they Bloom ail inoff the likable goofiness ofThe strip Dude (hmm, Lebowski?) and leave only his essence in Crane: a profound and unspeakable alienation nearly smothered beneath an overstylized, hyperreal world. At first it appears he's just guarded and reserved, but this is a rare case where character development works backwards: the more we see of him, the less there really is. As Crane's life comes unhinged by a modest blackmail scheme gone awry, his reaction-or lack thereof—is nearly inhuman.

The supporting cast is great, notably Tony Shalhoub as the Cranes' lawyer—but they're given less attention by the brothers than usual. The real loser is Frances McDormand, in a rare screen moment that fails to sparkle. As Crane's ambitious and domineering wife, she exits far too early in the film, and she's greatly missed.

That said, The Man Who Wasn't There is one of the Coens' most challenging and arguably brilliant films. Thornton's quiet bulldozer of a uKAub: performance is its lynchpin, a powerful force around which everything seems to levitate. When Crane unexpectedly blurts out existentialist angst over the cutting of a kid's hair, we laugh at another Coen moment. But when the bathos finally fades to black amidst similar existential rumblings, the effect is deeply unsettling and closer to Camus' The Stranger than anything in a James Cain noir. Here the Coens have captured a void, perhaps what is to be found at the heart of all film—shapeless, empty and utterly fascinating. □

If movies can be frustrating in their dispiriting lack of ideas, it is outright disarming to come across one that's built and composed on only thought and imagination. In Waking Life, Austin auteur Richard Linklater {Before Sunrise, Dazed and Confused} delivers a veritable chin-scratcher that swaps dialogue for monologues, characters for impromptu and often unlikely lecturers, and plot for what at first appears deceptively to be a montage of freshman-year pseudo-intellectual yammering. It's all more headily arresting than you'd expect, with nearly 100 minutes of uninterrupted talk fleeting by in a breathless, dizzying rush that never actually leaves the couch.

The very look of the film is exhilarating, as it employs cutting-edge animation techniques “‘tage with com-

Careful What You Wis for December is the season for giving and getting. Recess checks out the winners your stocking will be begging for.

Arts Music Ever since Rolling Stone shed its cool and became the official spokesmagazine for Britney and all things tagged for mass consumption, there's been a big old void in the music world. Hiphop/R&B mags such as Vibe and The Source cover the bling-bling but give little print to the more progressive side of the genres. And Spin has its tongue so deep into its cheek, it looks like a tumor. tere's a hip kid like you to go for md reviews of cutting-edge music?

Recess is an excellent start, but much can you really trust a bunch /

Dukies?

Enter CMJ New Music Monthly. It's ieen around for over 10 years, but ;omehow CMJ has managed to stay true to its college roots, churning out just-below-the-radar articles on everything from hip-hop to altcountry. And every month you get a free compilation CD featuring a few artists from each lonth's issue. There's definitely .hing shady going on with the artist selection process (i.e. shit-fests like Bad Ronald occasionally make it on there), but on the whole it's a great way to sample newly-dropped obscurities and find out what you dig. A year's subscription is only $29.95 —a great gift for the wannabe music snob in all of us.

—Kelly McVicker

Finding a gift for an artistically-minded friend, lover or family member could be difficult in Durham. Luckily, the Museum of Modern Art has an online store. For great gifts that say class but are still under $lOO, the MoMA is the place to find shop.

For women, you can't go wrong with jewelry. The Illusion Necklaces designed by Kasia Gasparski range from $55 to $95 depending on their length. My personal favorite is a necklace featuring handblown glass balls, "giving a contemporary edge to this timeless art form."

You can also find rings, pins and bracelets on the site.

For men, you can find a stylish business card case ($25) that would be perfect for a winter graduate. A flask with a modern twist, circular wine rack or funky cufflinks are also among the options.

But, if you're looking for a more generic, genderless gift, take a look at MoMA's chess sets. The brightly colored Rashid Chess Set is $5O while the Bauhaus Chess Set priced at $350 is for those with deeper pockets Despite the price difference, both are quite amazing. The Keith Flaring Dominoes are also a good choice at $45 and bring a taste of the artist into the home Whatever you dec the MoMA is the pe feet place for gifts this season. Just click on gift ideas and you can't go wrong. You can even finish off the perfect MoMA gift in any one of the many MoMA wrapping papers for just a roll. Shopping mai

Books

Contain your ebullience —the Christmas DVD season is upon us With 2000 and 2001 clocking in as some of the worst years for films ever, the DVD releases end up, for the most part, mimicking the staid selection that has plagued the silver screen. The winter releases are dominated by this summer's critical flops: Jurassic Park 111, The Score, Pearl Harbor, Moulin Rouge, Evolution, Rush Hour 2, etc. Yet, there are a few truffles in this winter's film DVD list —cult classic Willow recently hit the DVD stands and no real film buff should be without The Godfather Trilogy collection. If you're like most people and missed the gender-bending fun of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the DVD "comes out" Dec. 11. If you are a sucker for Jim Carrey and Ron Howard's special brand and cartoonish schmaltz, covered in a milieu of green fur, you can buy The Grinch.

The surprising thing about this year's holiday releases is that the best stuff is not cinematic but rather episode collections from small screen gems: David Lynch (Mulholland Drive) fans will be happy to know that the entire first season of Twin Peaks will be released on Dec. 18.

Even if you remember who killed Laura Palmer, this collection is a must have—not just for the story but for the innovation that Lynch brought to television—this may be the one series that The Sopranos owes something to.

Elsewhere: The X-Files' fourth and best season is available (also, pick up the second best X-Files season —the third). An in the mood to delay s iday debt, Buffy, The V. Slayer: The Complete Fi Season hits shelves Jai With quality television ing up on DVD, if Hollywood doesn't get act together soon, it m find that the new med f of choice has been coopted by the networks

It's often difficult to match the right book to the right person.

Just because you loved All the Pretty Horses or Who Moved My Cheese? doesn't mean your loved ones will. Enter the Keep It Simple Series (KISS). They're like the ies/ldiots books —except these aren't conmding and they have stunning color photois instead of black-and-white stick figures, 're available on many of the pleasures in golf, wine, gardening, sex. particularly interesting choice is the guide to iga. The information ranges from the simple >ses of Hatha yoga, the form most often praciced in the United States to introductions to more complex yoga styles like Kundalini and Ashtanga. And the information is versatile enough to be a great gift for Dad, who can't touch his knees or for Aunt Viola, who spends upside down than right side up. The book includes sections on meditation, on eating for good health and on how to incorporate yoga into busy lives. And like any good guide, the KISS series has a sense of humor—a cartoon creation resembling Arthur shows up on many pages to alert the reader to "complete nonos" and "inside scoops." Beginner's guides can be a perennial gift choice: After your mom gets into Iyengar yoga, next year you can buy her the KISS Guide to Feng Shui.

—Lee Bullock

Trends Want to know what to get your best friend/new love/old flame/baby sister/awesome editorial staff for Christmas? Here's a hint; The best gifts are stuff that everyone wants, but no one would buy for themselves. Case in point; the J.Crew leather bra. Available in four juicy colors and perfect for underwear or baring it all, the top comes ready-towear, halter style. It's crazy, sexy, cool and also on clearance for a whopping $9.99 at jcrew.com. Other fantasy fashions include red driving gloves, perfect for underneath a camel-colored coat or dressing up a little black dress, and the all-purpose corduroy skirt. Get one that skims yoiir knees and don't be afraid of color—Theory's turquoise version, available at Uniquities for s£9, is so cute it'll actually make your ass look

—Martin Barna

Taste What would the holiday season be without food? Time is running out to indulge in your favorite goodies before New Year's resolution time comes around, so 'tis the season for culinary gifts. Gift certificates to restaurants or dessert shops (think Ben and Jerry's or The Mad Hatter's) are guaranteed winners. The more adventurous and creative can head to Fowler's Gourmet, a fountain of epicurean bliss in Brightleaf Square, for yummy gift baskets. The pre-made ones range in price from $l5 to $lOO and vary in theme from chocolates to North Carolina-made products, to the festive Santa Snack Basket, or you can opt to create your own basket from Fowler's wide selection of gourmet foods and kitchen equipment.

But alas, all too often we find ourselves searching for a present for the person who already has it all. Why not tap into that holiday spirit and give a gift in his or her name to someone who really needs it? This Saturday night, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m. several campus organizations are hosting a Relief Dinner for Afghan refugees in Von Canon. Your $l5 ticket fee ($2O for non-students) will go directly to relief efforts coordinated by Islamic Relief Worldwide to help Afghan refugees survive winter. Now there's a gift that will warm your heart and someone else's tummy.

small. And don't forget to check out H&M. The hot Swedish store sweeping American cities has everything from sharp tweed peacoats to shimmery, bootcut bitch-pants. The Recess favorite? A pink-and-purple handbag with a picture of d horse. The bag reads "Cowgirl since 1877' The price-tag reads $5.50. Can you really go wrong? Stuff it with Stila lip gloss, available at makeup counters worldwide, and you'll be giving yourself instant karma for a whole year. If you're shopping for guys, try a new pair of Oakley sunglasses for the skier dude or surfer boy. While other brands may be trendy right now, Oakley has been running strong for 10 years, and they're not going anywhere by next summer. Sweaters are always a cute idea if you're like a mother to your best guy friend (Banana Republic has some particularly nice ones this season), and there's always the guy who gets a scarf. Make it a good one this year by failing into the Gap—their unique take on NewYork fashion (read: a slate blue muffler with a taxi cab on-the end) is totally adorable. For the label whores out there, go down to Burbury and get it over with. The plaid is still there, and this season, they've also got stripes. How original. Finally, there are always those girls who get their guy underwear. While Recess does not recommend this practice, it does suggest going to WalMart for the ultimate Christmas present; Pick up a pack of undies, grab some Rit dye from the laundry section and tye-dye those tighty-whiteys. It's cheap, it's cute and it's a hell of a lot better than those Santa Claus boxers from the mall —Faran Krentcil & Whitney Beckett

The ngsty energy that pushes every song on the are damn album from the edge of cool to barely-controlled just really Either people at the Cradle insanity started to show up in the band's delivery. cool, or this band's hype has traveled way faster than the band itself—no one swarmed him, no On "Alone, Together," guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. no one even dropped the deadpan and went into a series of seemed one asked for autographs, he was.

0 After the huge success of 1998's Devil Without a Cause, it seems feasible that Kid Rock would at least try to write some fresh material. But for a guy who talks as much as he does, Rock sure doesn't have anything new or profound to say. After a good, solid listen, any kid who likes rock can figure out that Kid Rock has a lot of money, gets a lot of women, drinks a lot of booze, and repeats himself... a lot.

Kid Rock's usual hard-driving rock-rap somehow seems less clever than ever (if that’s possible), and his depth in rhyming rarely rises above GRADE: the poo-poo-pee-pee level, including one memorable stretch in which D+ particularly he successfully rhymes "Nantucket," "suck it," and "f-k it."

So he drops a few (thousand) f-bombs and collaborates with Snoop Dogg on a cut ("WCSR") that makes you feel so dirty you’ll have to take two showers? It can't get any worse, right? Wrong. Just when you think it's over, Kid Rock goes country in

one of the most inexplicable, unmotivated, agonizing moments in music history. Imitating Hank Williams, Sr., Rock's wails on "Midnight Train to Memphis" and "Baby Come Home" sound more like a cat caught in a lawnmower. And I think it made me sterile

The worst part is that even Kid Rock doesn't seem to know what the hell he is trying to accomplish, electing to change back into his hip-hop clothes halfway through each track. If you're going to be horrendous, at least be consistent.

Kid Rock is the new Ted Nugent, with less class.

"Picture," a country ballad/duet with Sheryl Crow, is one bright spot—sort of. When Rock shuts his big yapper long enough, it sounds nice. And if you happen to like the brazen braggadocio of old, "Forever" is your best bet. Just don't expect the same effort throughout.

Of all the tracks on the album, none is as bad as "Eyes Like Yours," the abominable, word-for-word translation of what's considered by some to be Shakira's greatest song, "Ojos Asi."

Laundry Service (Epic) But let us not be so hasty as to discredit Shakira's talents. After all, neither crafty PR nor previous successes make a career (two letters; M and J). There is a reason that Shakira is a Latin icon. Aside from killer songwriting and a beautiful voice, Shak sings with something that few artists today possess: emotion that transcends language. While the English on the album fails to fully convey what Shakira is trying to say, the slack is taken up by the powerful range of emotions that Shakira's voice spans. From innocent schoolgirl to lovesick teenager and the oh-so-trendy independent woman, Shakira slides through them all. Want proof? Listen to the Spanish songs on the record.

Even if you don't know what she's saying, you'll sure know how she feels about it. That, coupled with the (mostly) catchy, well-produced tracks; and you have an album that demonstrates great talent in spite of the language barrier. □ rant;

Piece of One Pieces of Eight opened last night in Shaefer Theater, but not all eight pieces fit in the drama’s puzzle they way that they should.

NUMBER ONE: Bed partners Kalemeris am

iowns

niaht seven actors performed eight plays in Shaefer Theater. Some imo the wee hours of the might assume the show must have morning but these plays are all quite short, the longest being no more All are part of a compilation called Pieces of Eight. than 5 The eight pieces in question were created by eight different writers, all who could win the prize for "Best Contemporary Playwright." Beckett, Mbee Stoppard Lardner Pinter, Feiffer, Anderson and lonesco are not names to be brushed over in the drama world-if not world renowned, each playwright is quite famous within his genre.

Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to group these playwrights together to form a cohesive dramatic whole. There is no central theme among the plays except for the second set, which at least all fit into the absurBy Cary dist genre. Since there is no proverbial glue to hold the plays and uneven sporadic choppy, a together, the audiences gets theatrical experience.

The first vignette—The Unexpected Memoir of Bernard Mergandeiler by Jules Feiffer—starts the compilation off strong because of the piece's humor and reality. Also in this piece, the audience will catch its first glimpse of a half-naked Paul William Downs. It is certainly not the last of the night.

The actors Downs and Sarah Kalemeris, seem to enjoy what they're doing and we enjoy watching them.

The second vignette is where things start to fall apart. The Black and White was written by Harold Pinter, known for his tricky language and dialogue. The actors in the piece, Talya Klein and Kacey Henley, play old women who are sitting down for a cup of soup. The text is extremely difficult, and if it isn't delivered in the appropriate Pinter manner, the audience will not understand what the story is about. The actors teetered on the verge of this fatal mistake.

The third and fourth short plays are funny and cute, but without real substance or merit. The Tridget of Greva by Ring Lardner has great potential to be hysterical, but the three male actors lack comedic timing. Perhaps this is something that will be worked out over the course of the weekend. The fourth play The Sandbox by Edward Albee, proves only that Talya Klein is an exceptional character actor.

The (15 Minute) Dogg's Troupe Hamlet by Tom Stoppard is absolutely the best play of the entire evening. It's obvious the actors love the piece because

Sounds from Boys of Harlem I

\

Just when you thought you couldn't love a boy band, here they come. Fiercely dedicated, amazingly talented and even younger than Justin Timberlake, the Boys Choir of Harlem storms Page Auditorium this Sunday night at 8 pm. And white there will be no pop stars flying down from the ceiling, there will be beautiful music raising the roof.

Based in New York City, the Boys Choir of Harlem offers a conservatory-based education for New York children in grades 4-12.

Over 500 kids are accepted each year into the program, which promotes scholarship and honor through musical achievement. The commitment to join the choir includes a pledge to excellence in the arts and academics. We bet the Backstreet Boys never dealt with any of that in their contract.

World renowned, the choir has sung in Jerusalem, The White House and all over the United States. Their pit-stop in the Gothic Wonderland is part of this *

year's tour, which also pulls into Georgia and the Big Apple. They also played the munchkins in the concert version of The Wiz. a soul-infused alter ego of the classic Judy Garland musical. While they won't sing “Ease on Down the Road" at the Duke concert, they will offer up some classic choral fare as wet! as holiday tunes and their trademark Gospel touches. After all, the Boy's Choir of Harlem lauds itself as the only chorus trained in classical technique but rooted in the musical tradition of African-American song.

So what will you hear at Page this Sunday? Part of the concert will be songs from the 19th century, like excerpts from Handel's Messiah. Part will be Christmas music like Little Drummer Boy and Joy to the World. No doubt the boys will bring the house down with “Ride on. My Brother" or another Gospel favorite from down South. And you may even hear one of over 14 pieces composed especially for the Boy's Choir by prominent African. ,ue Boy's Choir of Hartem. They're fabuRecess is stoked for the arrival oif thlous musicians, rigorous students and younger than Hanson. And you thought all boy bands sucked.

MAKE SURE YOU GET VAXED. Hepatitis B is a very uncool thing.

It's a liver infection that can make you really sick for weeks or months. Most people pick it up as teenagers or young adults, so college is prime time for hepatitis B. You can get it by having sex, or by exposure to infected blood or body fluids through scrapes or cuts on the playing field. 1 Or through repeated sharing of an infected person's toothbrush, earrings or razor. 2 Even potentially by being pierced or tattooed. The only good thing about hepatitis B is that it's easy to prevent. Just go to the on-campus hepatitis B vaccination clinic listed below, and they'll start you on hepatitis B vaccination. Finish the three-dose series, and you won't have to worry about missing out, messing up or turning an embarrassing shade of yellow.

Back on track: Duke destroys 49ers No. 1 Blue

Devils begin ACC season

By SHAWN NICHOLLS The Chronicle

64 CHARLOTTE —When Duke (4-2) exited the Charlotte 39 floor after the first half of Thursday night’s game at Charlotte (3-1), the Blue Devils had made only eight field goals. Fortunately for Duke, however, the 49ers only made six shots, and the Blue Devils led 18-14.

The second half was a different story.

Duke found its hot hand, and behind five quick field goals and an assist from sophomore Alana Beard, equaled its field goal total from the first half in only five minutes. The Blue Devils led 34-20 at that point, and 60 percent shooting in the second halfhelped them Duke

to a 64-39 victory.

“We came out with a lot more intensity,” Beard said. “Our defense was really on point. We did a lot of things right and helped out each other, and I think we talked more in the second, and that really helps. But we need to play with a lot more passion from the beginning.”

Both teams were not timid about shooting in the first half, but the shots were just not falling. After Charlotte won the opening tip, Duke played tough perimeter defense and forced the 49ers to take a poor shot from the top of the key with only seven seconds left on the shot clock. The Blue Devils then pushed the ball down the floor and Iciss Tillis scored from the paint for the first two of her 11 points. Tillis also grabbed 14 rebounds for her third double-double of the season.

ALANA BEARD goes to her left as she attempts one of her 17 shots against Charlotte

By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle Of the top 10 teams ranked in the preseason polls, only two remain undefeated: No. 5 Missouri and No. 1 Duke.

“We’re 5-0 and that’s a good thing,” junior forward Mike Dunleavy said.

“We’ve showed some signs of a very good basketball team. We’ve yet to put together a full 40 minutes performance like we can, but I like the direction the team’s headed.”

Duke was able to survive a tough stretch of five games in nine days. Now the Blue Devils are ready for another cycle—a six-day stretch featuring games at home against Clemson and Temple, followed by a matchup at Michigan.

“We haven’t had any problems so far,” guard Dahntay Jones said. “Our communication’s been bad, but I’m happy that we’re doing this well. It’s just going to go up from here.”

Duke’s first ACC game comes against Clemson (4-1), a team that hasn’t beaten the Blue Devils in the past 11 meetings, but has already overcome adversity this season.

Volleyball hopes to start Glorious Revolution tonight

By NEELUMJESTE The Chronicle

The first round of the volleyball team’s NCAA tournament bid begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium, when the Blue Devils (22-4) face William and Mary (22-5). This will be Duke’s second consecutive appearance in the tournament, as William and Mary competes for the first time.

“We are really excited about the opportunity ahead of us, especially because we will be playing in our home facility,” coach Jolene Nagel said. “We have had great practices this week, and the girls have shown a lot of energy and effort.”

In the teams’ first meeting since Nagel’s coaching tenure began, the Blue Devils hope to break down William and Mary’s excellent ball control. Though the Tribe is not known for its power hitting, its net strength and consistency have been strengths for Willliam and Mary all season. A lack of errors, particularly on defense, will be the Tribe’s main advantage in the matchup against Duke.

inks five

Five high school seniors signed letters-of-intent to Duke’s men’s basketball program during the early signing period, which ended Nov. 21. A sixth will walk on next year.

“They are definitely a ball control team and they make very few errors,” senior Ashley Harris said. “We are working on how our defense reacts to them and going after their shots, but mostly we need to focus on our game.”

While the Blue Devils are a stronger hitting team, their previous experience in the NCAA tournament will be another key advantage for the match. They are also confident with the depth of their team, while they look to control William and Mary’s outside hitters, Tara Tobias and Christina Hinds. Tobias, a senior, is the core of the Tribe, and the Blue Devils feel that ifthey can shut her down, they can weaken the rest of the team.

‘We are not a bunch of superstars, but we’ve got a great team with a lot of strength coming from each player,” Nagel said. “We all have to have a good night in order for us to come out with the victory.”

One player who must have a good night for the Blue Devils is sophomore Krista Dill, who leads the team in blocks for the .season with 117. The outside hitter/defensive specialist believes her

team is battle-tested because of its difficult competition throughout the season.

“This is our weekend to just play the best volleyball we can,” Dill said. “We feel that we are prepared because we had such a tough conference during the regular season and we have faced other good teams. Playing William and Mary is like playing another ACC team.”

In the 13 days they have had off since the ACC tournament, the Blue Devils been working on their defense and blocking, which they felt needed

some improvement.

“We are hungry and ready to play our best volleyball,” Nagel said. “We played a little tight in the ACC tournament, most likely due to the added pressure of being the number one seed. It is a lot easier to succeed when you are the

unexpected team.”

Hart-less Blue Devils yearn for win Duke takes on No.

6 Louisiana Tech

By FOZAIL ALVI The Chronicle

The Duke football team looks to avoid its second winless campaign in as many seasons as it travels to Death Valley to take on Clemson Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m, A loss could send Duke (0-10,0-7 in the ACC) into a tie with Northern Illinois for the seventh-longest losing streak in Division I history at 22. But a win could turn around everything for the 27-point underdogs from Durham, as they face off against a Clemson team with a three-game losing streak of its own. “[A win] would change everything, all last season and all this season,” said defensive end Charles Porter, one of 12 seniors playing in their final game as a Blue Devil.

“Our guys that have only been here two seasons haven’t even gotten a win. I’d love to have them experience a first win, and I’d love to go out from Duke with a win.”

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Game Breakdown The Chronicle previews the Duke-Clemson football game with a graphic listing key players and team strengths. See page 15 Porter and the Blue Devils are coming off a thrashing at the hands of archrival North Carolina, which beat Duke 52-17 to earn its 12th consecutive win in the matchup. In that game, Duke also lost one of the most important pieces of its offense over the past few seasons when Mike Hart suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Hart, recently named to the All-ACC first team, was one of the highest-ranked tight ends entering the NFL draft but now may be forced to miss out on all the senior bowls and combine workouts.

Clemson (5-5, 3-4 in the ACC) has had for the most part a disappointing season and faces the possibility of not earning a bowl berth for the first time in coach Tommy Bowden’s three-year tenure. Even if Clemson manages to win Saturday against Duke, the Tigers are still not guaranteed a bowl bid, as seven ACC teams managed to garner winning seasons, though only six teams will likely get invited to bowl games. As if the possibility of not playing in a bowl game is not enough, pride alone is reason enough for the Tigers to come out fired up for the Blue Devils according to Clemson

freshman linebacker Eric Sampson.

“We will be the most embarrassing team in the country if we lose to Duke," Sampson said in The State

newspaper on Tuesday.

The Tigers are led at quarterback by senior Woodrow Dantzler, whose uncanny ability to pass and run out ofthe shotgun with equal productivity earned him Heisman status earlier this season though he has fizzled of late. Realizing that Dantzler is the key to 75 percent of Clemson’s offensive force, many teams have effectively employed a spy to just guard the player many coaches call a running back playing QB. Last year’s matchup of these two teams saw Duke hang with the Tigers for the first quarter and a half before Dantzler took the game over with his breathtaking moves. Two scrambles for touchdowns by the •All-ACC first-team quarterback, including one heartstopping spin move around defender Darryl Scott that left Scott on the short end of a Sportscenter highlight, followed by a touchdown pass gave Clemson an insurmountable lead at halftime en route to a 52-22 victory.

CLEMSON QUARTERBACK WOODROW DANTZLER is a threat on the ground as well as through the air.

Stopping Dantzler will be the top priority for Duke’s shaky defense, which has given up an average of 50 points over the past five games.

“He is a tremendous weapon,” said Duke coach Carl Franks. “We have to make sure we contain him. No one’s done a great job of containing him. One thing we have to do is wrap him up when we get a hold of him.

We haven’t been the greatest tackling team, so we also have to get a bunch of people around him.”

On the other end of the ball, though, the Clemson defense will have to deal with quarterback D. Bryant, who has alreadypassed for 2,000 yards this season, good enough for fourth in the ACC, as well as multi-dimensional running back Chris Douglas, whose 1,700 all-purpose yards are tops in Duke history. But with the running game slowed in the past few weeks, Bryant looks to take to the air against a Clemson secondary that has been lit up like a light bulb.

“Their DBs don’t look that tough on film,” said Bryant, who made his first career start in last year’s game versus Clemson and passed for 168 yards. ‘They’re definitely not a Clemson team of old. They are not even the team from last year, and we are better than last year.”

One of the bright spots for this year’s Duke squad has been the play of linebacker Ryan Fowler. Following a promising freshman season, Fowler has had the breakout year his coaches expected, leading the team in tackles with 119, forced fumbles with three and tied for the team lead with two sacks and one interception.

The sophomore from Redington Shores, Florida has seen his share of individual success but has yet to earn a win in his two seasons at Duke.

“I’m pleased [with my season], but I’m not satisfied,” Fowler said. “I won’t be satisfied until the team wins. If you do a good job, at least you can look back and say, ‘I did something to help the team.’ But if the team didn’t win, you didn’t do enough.”

Voiceover: Duke women’s basketball team, you scored a big home win to open the season against Texas Tech, but have since been upset by two lesserranked teams. What are you going to do now?

Team: We’re going to Disney World.

Waiting for the No. 14 Blue Devils (4-2) Sunday at Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. is No. 6 Louisiana Tech (2-1).

The Lady Techsters, who return all five starters from last year’s highly respected team, will present a stiff challenge for Duke. Ayana Walker leads them from the paint with 19.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, whose team handed Louisiana Tech its sole loss of the year, foretells of a potential matchup problem for Duke’s interior players who are “more lean.”

“Certainly when you play Louisiana Tech, I can tell you, they’re very physical on the inside,” the legendary coach said.

Freshman Wynter Whitley will be responsible for defending inside and so will sophomore Iciss Tillis, who happens to be one ofthe team’s better three-point shooters. So far this season, the Blue Devils have struggled from behind the arc. The responsibility of banging with the Lady Techsters will keep Tillis

around the basket.

“I think if I happen to get out [to the three-point line] and I happen to get some open looks I’m going to take them, but I’m not going to focus on getting some threes in for the team,” she said. “I’m not really going to dwell on getting our [three-point] shooting percentage up.”

Louisiana Tech coach Leon Barmore is more concerned about Alana Beard, who hails from Shreveport, La., which is just 70 miles from Louisiana Tech’s campus in Ruston, La. “Oh God, I’d have offered her all the scholarships we had if she’d [come here],” Barmore said. “I’ve watched her since she was very little and [she’s] a wonderful player. I know she’ll be very motivated to play us. I hope she takes it easy on us because I think you’re definitely talking about one of the best we have in our game. She’s beautiful to watch; she’s just fun to watch.”

Alana Beard will be starting Sunday at the wing, as Krista Gingrich handles point guard duties.

Beard began the season attempting to move to the point, but has thrived at wing, where she had played in the past Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said “the jury is still out” on the point guard situation, and she is still experimenting with different lineups.

A game against a talented team such as Louisiana Tech at a neutral site for a major event featuring other top teams and national media attention will be an excellent crucible for the Blue Devils.

“It’s going to be a tremendous opportunity for us to see how much we’ve learned and we’ve grown,” Goestenkors said.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Carlos Boozer should be able to repeat his 22-point, 14-rebound performance against lowa, and after shutting down lowa’s Reggie Evans, Boozer will likely dominate Clemson’s Ray Henderson as well.

Dunleavy has been nothing short of magnificent so far this season, and Sunday should be no different.

Losing Will Solomon to the NBA was a critical blow for the Tigers. Edward Scott has taken over the point, and stepped up with a 2.7:1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Duke, however, outdoes Clemson with All-America candidates Chris Duhon and Jason Williams at its guard positions.

Look for them to run circles around the Tigers.

The Tigers’ bench is as deep if not deeper than the Blue Devils’, but it’s quality, not quantity, that counts.

Duke’s Daniel Ewing, Casey Sanders and Nick Horvath would be starters on most NCAA teams. Clemson has Chey Christie and Tomas Nagys on the bench, but lacks players of comparable talent to Duke’s.

After defeating the Hawkeyes Tuesday, Duke has a fiveday stretch before facing the Tigers. Clemson, meanwhile, takes on Coastal Carolina today before traveling to Durham Sunday. Clemson’s non-conference schedule has been pretty weak, and the Tigers may not be ready to face off against the top-ranked Blue Devils.

Simply put, Duke looks unbeatable. Boozer has established himself as a dominant post presence, and Dunleavy is more than filling the void left behind by Shane Battier. Conversely, Clemson will be spending this season battling Florida State for eighth place in the nine-team ACC. Duke’s biggest problem has been its three-point shooting, but against Clemson, it won’t Compiled by Evan Davis come close to mattering. Duke wins 115-74.

ROMETRA CRAIG fights a Charlotte player for possession of the ball

Blue Devils force 13 steals, pull off 30-13 run in win CHARLOTTE from page 11

Duke, however, went cold after its opening bucket, and did not score again until Beard picked up a steal at midcourt and converted a layup with just under 15 minutes left in the half.

In that scoreless span, Duke missed six shots and turned the ball over three times.

After Charlotte center Adrienne Jordan swatted one of her game-high four blocks near the midway point of the half, guard Monica League made one of her only three field goals on the night to put the 49ers up 10-9 with 11:38 left.

However, Charlotte would not score again for the next nine minutes.

It appeared that the Blue Devils may pull away, and in a 33-second span with just over five minutes to play, Sheana Mosch made two of her 10 points and then freshman Monique Currie converted a fast break layup for a five-point Blue Devil lead. Duke was not able to continue its hot play, however, and struggled in the final minutes

of the half.

“We were very passive,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said of her team’s first-half play. “We were trying to execute, but at the same time, we still needed to be aggressive. [Charlottel got us standing around. We were much more aggressive in the second half. We’re at our best when we’re very aggressive.”

For a. short time, the 49ers, however, refused to wilt under the pressure of Duke’s new second-half intensity. After Beard went to the bench with 14:23 left, a bucket by Alicia Abernathy, the only 49er in double figures with 16 points, capped a 6-0 Charlotte run, shrinking the Blue Devil lead to 34-26.

This was as close as the 49ers, who were without the services of leading scorer Peaches Harris due to an injury, would get, as Duke closed on a 30-13 run behind more strong play from

Beard, who finished with 11 field goals

and 23 points, both season highs.

Swarming defense and quick transitions on missed Charlotte shots allowed Duke to score many of its second half points on the fast break. The Blue Devils had 13 steals in the game, including two from Rometra Craig and five from Beard.

“We’ve proven ourselves defensively this year,” Charlotte coach Katie Meier said. “We’re really reliant on defense and we need to develop our offense.

The game was going exactly as planned the first half. And we told our team that, from 20 minutes to 15 in the second half, Alana was going to take over the game. But she’s that good. She can still take over a game when you know it’s coming.”

Nick Christie “Kreme” was too busy trying to figure out whether a big “23” on the cover of Sportwrap might falsely imply there was an article on Michael Jordan inside.

Catherine Sulli- “Ripp” -van “Winkle” thought 23 might more likely refer to the number of times Doran used the word “gimpy” in his last story.

Seemingly unphased by Lloyd’s tantrum, Harold “my” Gutt- “would seem smaller if I was a taller” man was instead focusing on lobbying Barna to change the Winter Kangaroo to Hanukkah Harry.

Becoming frustrated by the discussion, Christina “We just can’t com-” Petersen chose to instead listen to the Duke-Clemson game on the radio.

“This football game should be the biggest spanking of the weekend,” Petersen reasoned.

—by Florida coach Steve Spurrier’s

“Fried” Meanwhile, Andrew Green- “Tomatoes makes me cry” field told Adrienne “of the world as we know it” Mercer that he would resign from The Chronicle unless the crew ran a pre-emptive 24.

Kevin Lloyd “-y, lloydy, my fraternity sucks” overheard Greenfield’s comment, and immediately chastised his colleague for not being completely supportive of the football team.

“That’s why we’re here,” Lloyd said.

“We’re here to make the football team better. That’s our job, just like everyone says it is.”

Duke then outscored the Tigers the rest of the way but fell 52-22. Chris Douglas scored two touchdowns, while D. Bryant started for the first time.

First Half Duke has proven that it can usually put one half together. However, that has been the second half and a poor start to the game has often left the Blue Devils out of reach. If Duke can avoid an early Clemson onslaught like last year, it could very well be in striking distance late in the game.

The Clemson defense has been tough on the Duke running game. The Blue Devils have had a 100-yard rusher only nine times in 45 meetings with the Tigers.

Chris Douglas is coming off his worst rushing total since Florida State, but look for him to become the 10th.

When this game was originally scheduled, Clemson was a top-20 team with a 2-0 record. Now, however, the Tigers are reeling and need to beat Duke to salvage a winning season. Dukes hopes back-to-back winless seasons rest in Saturday’s game, and with last week off, the Blue Devils should be well prepared. Suffocating Dantzler is a S S N r h Cai? lina Proved this could be done, holding Dantzler to 78 yards passing and keeping Clemson from scoring a touchdown. That’s a long !j ? eh shot, but the unpredictable uhas taken place all year in the ACC. It’s time for the Blue Devils to pull off an upset. Duke wins 31-28.

Faculty-student gap Duke needs to foster positive faculty-student relationships outside the classroom

Admissions

catalogs often report student-faculty ratios and coloften take them into account. Some students rankings lege believe that a low ratio implies a large amount of faculty-student interaction as they seek out institutions where academic discourse and mentoring are prized. Unfortunately, these touted statistics do not reveal the true climate on campus, particularly Duke’s environment, where relationships between professors and their pupils often fail to extend beyond the classroom.

Interaction is an important extension of teaching. Students come to college searching for knowledge in particular areas, and professors teach much ofthis material. Meeting outside the classroom allows for deeper mentoring as students attempt to chart their future career plans and discover more about the course material itself.

Certainly, some professors do interact with their students outside allotted meeting times. Faculty who live in dorms as part of the Faculty-In-Residence Program, for instance, represent those willing to be greatly involved. Students frequently praise FOCUS professors for their desire to develop relationships at times that also mesh with students’ schedules. But FOCUS is limited to firstyear students. Other professors who want to extend relationships beyond the classroom are left on their own to determine how to proceed as such interaction lacks organization and variety. For example, lunch with a student—one frequent method of interaction—is treated as an end when it should serve as a springboard for future exchange. waking hour with No one expects faculty members to spend their pupils. Professors have to devote time to other matters, particularly research. A focus on connecting professors to quadrangles as part of the new residential plan is a good start, but communication must also occur on an individual level. Planned events should not be forced social gatherings but instead revolve around common interests, such as Duke basketball games.

The academic side of the University has a valuable and desired role from student affairs—what students are doing in more everything in social settings—to admissions —where the minds that professors will teach are selected. At the same time, shaping key administrative policy may also make faculty more attached to student lives. The Arts and Sciences Council and the Engineering Council have a place in addressing this interaction, as does Duke Student Government.

Students also have a responsibility to take the initiative to develop relationships with professors. The University already offers small courses with the opportunity for greater exchanges with bright and willing professors. Finding these opportunities when they present themselves enhances students’ college experience.

Fortunately, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta has already shown the ability to implement daunting projects in relatively short periods oftime. Hopefully, he can also address faculty-student relationships to provide an infrastructure that will facilitate more diverse means of interaction. Until the climate changes, the motivation for interaction will continue with little interest.

Under this logic, Zimmerman would have no remarks, as he is neither a minority nor a

female. I am sorry he feels oppressed. I am sorry he feels reverse discrimination. I am sorry he feels segregated.

Welcome to my world. To any student who feels the same as Zimmerman, I’ll see you at a Kwanzaa celebration, in the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture or at the next BSA meeting.

University transportation needs better coordination I am writing this letter out of both curiosity and frustration. As a resident of Edens Quadrangle, whenever I need to go to East Campus, it makes more sense for me to walk up to the circle and take the bus from there, rather than take it from the West Campus bus stop. Virtually every time I have done this, I have encountered the same problem: Empty buses don’t stop. And if they do in order to let a passenger off, they

often will not let additional passengers on, even when there is sufficient space. I understand that buses often do this because there are certain patterns they follow, such as driving in pairs, so the first bus will not stop if there is another just behind it. But when the second and

third buses fail to stop, it appears to me that there is a problem with communication among the drivers. This scenario occurred to me especially when the only

bus that stopped was one that was so full that I was standing in the forbidden yellow zone and hanging into the stairs. Perhaps I am wrong to think that this is a flawed system. Perhaps there is some secret and ingenious plan that I am completely unaware of, but if so, will someone please enlighten me while I wait

for the bus?

Guest Commentary

In medical school, it’s a common we treat patients as individuals. We are taught to take careful histories and physical exams and summon the story that brought this particular patient to the hospital on this particular day. Ironically, all that work to render a patient unique is left by the wayside once a diagnosis is made. Modern medicine is really quite

A patient like Betty doesn’t only have a unique story~she has a distinct genetic makeup that accounts for not just her curly hair, or how tall she is, but how she responds to infection, her susceptibility to cancer, whether she eventually has high blood pressure or even how she metabolizes certain drugs.

An ode to alcohol Thanksgiving Eve started innocently enough with my bouncing up and down in the car talking about how much I was going to drink. I had jtfHk been looking forward to this day for a J|- 1 long time, as it is the one day that everyone from my town is guaran-

teed to be home and hitting the bars up very hard. Lucky for me, my friend Duba was the designated drivEvan er for the night. We went to our first t bar, and it was like I was a freshman > in high school all over again. Virtually everyone from my grade was in the place, along with “upperclassmen” and some random townies. I went through the ritual of hugging and shaking hands with the drunkards who I hadn’t seen for nearly four years as I threw back some tasty Yuengling lagers.

Soon Duba and I learned that most of our group of friends was at another bar, since one of them had been banned for life at the tavern we were in. We bid adieu to our high school cronies and found our way to the other place. I discovered our pals downstairs in the bar and after we exchanged pleasantries, I began to drink heavily to catch up with them. After many hours of incredibly entertaining story swapping, we decided it was time to invest in some shots of Southern Comfort and be on our way.

It was then as I sat in a drunken stupor, that I had a revelation. I concluded that the most amazing substance in the world is not genetically modified foods, an unbreakable type of metal or a cure for anthrax. No, the most amazing thing has been around for ages. It is alcohol. Alcohol does more
