Blue Devils desecrate Temple DSG calls for eating disorder coordinator

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

In a contest

featuring two coaches recently inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, Duke raced out to a 29-12 lead against an undermanned Temple squad Wednesday night, and- never looked back, coasting to a 82-57 victory.

Jason Williams and Mike Dunleavy led the top-ranked Blue Devils, scoring 26 and 24 points respectively, along with pulling down 10 rebounds each.

The Owls’ Lynn Greer, who lit up Wisconsin Monday night for 47 points, tallied 22 points in a losing effort. However, with Temple missing two offensive starters (Kevin Lyde was out with an ankle injury and David Hawkins is ineligible until next semester), its offensive leader struggled. Averag-

four resolutions.

The most debated issue of the evening was a proposal for the creation of an eating disorder coordinator position at the University by Vice President for Community Interaction Carrie Johnson.

Johnson said the impetus for the legislation was a Nov. 1 column in The Chronicle by Mary Adkins, which drew considerable attention to the eating disorder problems on campus and solicited over 100 e-mails from students relating their experiences with eating disorders.

Johnson said such a position would increase the time, resources and experiences allocated to the issue and would coordinate the University’s resources.

Currently, eating disorder services are handled by three different groups: Educational Support to Eliminate Eating Misconceptions, a student-run awareness group, Student

Health and Counseling and Psychological Services.

Opponents of the resolution said they were not arguing the context of the proposal, but rather the lack of input from administrators and University professionals.

But Johnson and other proponents of the bill said enough student input had been collected, and that the administration has been unresponsive to the issue in the past.

“If there are already experts on campus, why is this still a major problem?” asked junior Vinny Eng, Student Organization Finance Committee chair.

The resolution passed, though not unanimously. Johnson said she did not know who See

Faculty use guest IKON to take over copy centers lecturers in class

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

� Many professors

say visiting speakers offer their students a real-world perspective, both in the world of academia with their research and also with careers in professional fields.

By KENNETH REINKER The Chronicle

As many students look forward to fresh courses next semester, some have seen new faces in front of their class on a regular basis. Several courses at the University aim to add a real-world perspective to academia by hosting visiting speakers from the professional world.

Stephen Wallenstein, professor of law, co-teaches an economics class entitled Global Capital Markets, which brings in Wall Street business leaders.

“The idea was... to offer students the exposure to different areas of the financial world so that they could make better-informed decisions about where they wanted to go,” Wallenstein said. “[The course gives them the chance] to have exposure to some of the best minds on Wall Street.”

The course is a more practical look at how economics apply to financial markets, Wallenstein said, with speakers covering topics such as equity, derivatives and mergers and acquisitions.

“It’s one ofthe most amazing courses at Duke,” senior Anupam Pradhan said. “It’s the only class you get a chance to meet the people in the markets.”

IKON Office Solutions will take over operations of the University-owned Copy Center on Kangaroo Dr. along with Devil’s Duplicates in the Bryan Center, no later than Jan. 2.

Joe Pietrantoni, vice president for auxiliary services, said that over the past four years, revenues have dropped $650,000 because of a growing number of 24-hour copy centers, such as Kinko’s, an increase in home ink-jet printers and multi-functional units that allow a number of computers to print to one source.

Duke, which had a number of bids from other companies, has already signed a letter of intent and soon will sign a contract with IKON. The company already administers individual copiers for the University. All copiers are coordinated through auxiliary services.

Pietrantoni said the benefit of having IKON in charge of all copying functions is that two companies would not compete for University accounts.

Jim Wilkerson, director of Duke Stores, said that even though Duke’s copy centers will not change their hours of operation under IKON, they will add more services, such as digital enlargements, high-quality digitally developed fliers, large full color posters and CD-recording capabilities.

A U.S. bomb missed its target, leaving eight casualties, including five Afghans

WASHINGTON Three U.S. Special Forces soldiers were killed and 20 wounded in Afghanistan Wednesday when a U.S. bomb missed its Taliban target. The bomb, carrying 2,000 pounds of explosives, landed about 100 yards from the soldiers’ position north of Kandahar, where the Taliban is making its last stand against Afghan opposition forces.

Pentagon officials said they could not immediately explain what went wrong in the deadliest “friendly fire” accident of the war. Whatever the cause, it illustrated the danger inherent in the kind of support U.S. forces are providing to Afghan fight-

Officials consider future of transit

By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

As a planned regional rail system to connect the Triangle moves forward, a decline in the tax revenues funding the project is forcing officials to make hard decisions about what the system should look like.

Ideally, the Triangle Transit Authority Board of Trustees would like to see Phase 1 ofits regional rail system—with trains running every seven-and-a-half minutes over 16 stations, from North Raleigh to Durham—ready to begin service by 2007 or 2008, said TTA board chair Bill Bell. But some of the TTA’s funding comes from taxes on local car rentals—which have slipped along with travel nationwide in the wake of Sept. 11.

That drop means the project’s first phase might not be completed by the target date. “Because of the finanrial impacts, we are having to reassess that,” said Bell, also the mayor of Durham. “Right now, we’d really like In see us be able to do Phase 1. [But] honestly, it doesn’t appear that we’re going to be able to do that at that point.”

At a meeting last month, the board heard a fist of alternatives to deal with the declining revenues: delaying the beginning of service for Phase 1, running trains only every 15 minutes or postponing the construction of some of the 16 stations, such as those in North Raleigh.

Bell said the board is still deliberating over which of these alternatives to take. “[First] we’re going to try to make a decision on the station stops,” he said. “Once you make that decision, then you can look at what the financial impact is and then that drives your revenue requirements and [how often to run trains]. That determines whether you’re going to be able to do it in 2007, 2008 or whether it will

take longer.”

Implementing Phase 1 as planned could cost the TTA—which anticipates obtaining about half its funding from the federal government, a quarter from the state government and a quarter from local taxes on gasoline and car rentals—about $745 million when adjusted for inflation, said senior TTA policy analyst Rim Crawford.

In October, the board of trustees approved 10 of 16 proposed sites for Phase 1, in Raleigh, Cary, Research Triangle Park and Durham—one downtown and one on See TTA on page 9 >

THE SHELTON SMITH ROOM was renovated by the Divinity School for graduate students in the religion department, as administrators try to take into account more student input.

Religion examines graduate program Officials implement small changes, consider broader revisions

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Officials in the religion department, as well as the Divinity School, are considering new ways to administer the graduate program in religion following an external review that recommended its reorganization.

Although they are taking small steps toward bettering the program—such as collaborating with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and fostering increased student input—they must still decide on its ultimate direction.

Director of Graduate Studies Eric Meyers said one of the largest problems identified by the external review remains—a gap in rigor between the programs for religion graduate students and theology master’s students.

“It’s not an equal playing field,” Meyers said. “[The religion students] feel gypped with the level of classes.”

Meyers said the religion program is one of the most competitive in the University, with the highest GRE scores and high selectivity, more so than the master of theological studies, or the master of divinity degrees.

But Willie Jennings, dean for academic affairs at the Divinity School, said in every setting, there will be more advanced students and less advanced students.

“It does not break down along the master-doctoral divide,” Jennings said. “It really breaks down in terms of the progression of students. In some classes, you [might not havel a predominance of students ready to engage the subject matter at the highest level. That’s the case in any course.”

The solution to any potential gap may be a better relationship between Divinity and religion, something top University administrators agree is important.

Meyers said the best religion graduate programs—such as those at Harvard University and Yale University—are tied to divinity schools, but that those divinity schools are more academic in nature and not tied to a specific denomination.

“There’s a fundamental difference in the way we view our home in the academe,” Meyers said. “We have competing visions of the academe.” He noted that the DivinSee RELIGION on page 9

Cancer survivor dedicates life to cancer community

By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

In September of 1982, Nancy Emerson began her battle against cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, her breast cancer had already spread to six lymph nodes, and her prognosis was not positive. Nineteen years later, Emerson is still alive and, for her courage and dedication to the cancer community, she has been named the 2002 “Cancer Survivor of the Year” by Coping, a national magazine aimed at cancer patients and doctors.

Emerson, a patient of the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Nancy Emerson Center since her diagnosis and an employee ofthe center since 1990, now spends much of her time assisting others in coping with the disease.

“I decided to use my experience with cancer to help other patients,” Emerson said. “By helping others, I didn’t concentrate on myself as much, which was healing for me Emerson’s message to fellow cancer sufferers is primarily one of hope. “Most people think of it as a death sentence, but you need to focus on living with cancer, not dying with cancer,” Emerson explained. “People can live ”

a fairly normal life with cancer. Fm working, Fm able to control the pain. You need to focus on the ‘can’ in cancer.”

Maxine Galloway, diagnosed with breast cancer at age 39 and also a patient of DCCC, is one of many that Emerson has touched. “Before she came in, I was just absolutely devastated,” Galloway said. “Nancy was the first person I spoke to that I knew had walked in my shoes, and it gave me so much hope.”

Galloway was full of praise for the advice and friendship that Emerson has given over the years. “She taught me to not be afraid to ask questions, learn as much as I can about breast cancer, be an informed patient. It changes your focus away from fear to taking it one day at a time and getting on with your life,” Galloway explained. “And she has really inspired me to do the same thing with other people.”

Dr. Kelly Marcom, a Duke medical oncologist and primary physician to both Emerson and Galloway, noted the importance of intangibles in fighting cancer. “You have to feel like you’re playing an active role in the treatment of the disease,” Marcom explained. “[Emersonl is the best example of how important it is to maintain a positive attitude,” Marcom said. He noted Duke’s commitment to inter-patient counsel through the Duke Cancer Patient Support program, for which Emerson was one of the first volunteers and later served on the program’s advisory board.

r

Emerson, the director of major projects and assistant director of development and communications for DCCC, has a long history of support for cancer research. She was one of the first cancer patients to take part in the first phase of a revolutionary trial conducted at Duke that used the patients’ own dendritic cells to stimulate the immune system. Emerson has also served on the executive committee of the National Patient Advocate Foundation, which aims to ensure patients’ access to medical care, and organizes the annual Tree of Hope, a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony at Duke that raises money for cancer treatment.

Although she noted there have been many advances in treatments for cancer and drugs to combat the side-effects of chemotherapy, Emerson lamented how little the government supports cancer research compared with how much suffering the disease causes, observing that, on average, one person succumbs to cancer each minute of the day. She has testified before Congress to gain greater federal funding for research, and continues to stress the need for personal contributions.

Emerson, whose cancer has spread to the skull, spine, ribs, arms and liver, refuses to give up. “My coping mechanism is to help others facing cancer,” Emerson explained. With the aid of friends, family and hope, she continues to survive.

Afghan factions sign pact for interim government

By STEVEN ERLANGER

The New York Times New Service

BONN, Germany Four Afghan factions Wednesday signed a pact creating a broadly based, interim government for a post-Tabban Afghanistan after more than 20 years of rivalry and warfare.

The new government, which is to take power in Kabul Dec. 22 for up to six months, will be led by Hamid Karzai, a 46-year-old Pashtun leader currently fighting the Taliban in southern Afghanistan.

The selection of Karzai, a Pashtun and relative of the former king, Mohammad Zaher Shah, 87, was acceptable to various factions inside Afghanistan and to its neigh-

bors, as well, Pakistan, in particular, has many Pashtuns and was uncomfortable with the non-Pashtun Northern Alliance’s control of Kabul since Nov. 12, when the Taliban fled.

Karzai’s government, however, will have 17 ministers from the Northern Alliance, out of a total of 30.

After many hours of negotiations spread over nine days, the Afghan factions, prodded by the U.N. special envoy for Afghanistan, Lakhdar Brahimi, and diplomats from the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Russia, India, Iran and Pakistan, settled on a structure and personnel for the governing of an Afghanistan still at war.

The negotiations finally concluded Wednesday morning at 6:45, after an all-night session. The deal was signed less than three hours later, with the Ger-

man chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder in attendance To embraces and applause, Brahimi said, “Nowhere is the feeling of hope greater than among the people of Afghanistan, who during 23 years of tragedy and loss have maintained the hope that peace and stability could be restored one day in their country.”

But he warned the delegates that “the real work starts now, and the real difficulties will start when the interim administration agreed on here moves to Kabul.”

He acknowledged that the agreement was not perfect, but would have to serve to start to bring Afghanistan out of its chaos of warlordism and rivalries, where the younger generation has never known anything but strife

and violent conflict.

“The eyes ofthe world will be on you, and you carry a heavy responsibility,” Brahimi said. “You must serve your people in a democratic and transparent manner. Their expectations are high and you cannot afford to fail them.”

Younus Qanooni, the interior minister and leader of the Northern Alliance delegation, promised complete cooperation to realize the agreement.

With the Taliban gone, he said, “Afghans can build a common homeland.” The agreement is proof, he said, “that if Afghans can fight well, they can also achieve peace,” urging the world to five up to its pledges of aid.

But officials warned that the titular leader of the Northern Affiance, Burhanuddin Rabbani, and his conservative ally, Abdul Rab Rassoul Sayyaf, a Pashtun Wahhabi, remain unhappy with the deal.

Rabbani and Sayyaf could work to alter the adminis-

J

tration in the emergency loya jirga, or traditional constituent assembly of provincial elders and powers, expected to convene in the spring.

That loya jirga will create a transitional government that will rule for up to two years and pick a transitional head of state, who may end up being Zaher Shah, the former king who was deposed in 1973, heralding the start of Afghanistan’s decades of turmoil.

Despite his advanced age, he remains popular in Afghanistan as a unifying symbol of a lost idyll.

Britain is expected to organize the international security force envisioned for Kabul, and Washington will likely support its deployment by Dec. 22, officials said.

The Pentagon remains concerned that a second, independent military command in Afghanistan will create complications, officials said.

“But Washington wouldn’t have pushed this conference so hard if the White House was going to block a key aspect of the agreement,” a senior official said in a telephone interview. “There may be a day or two of hiccups, but the Pentagon would feel much more at ease if the British were running the force.”

Karzai, reached by telephone, told the BBC that his first priority would be “peace and stability for Afghanistan and the chance for Afghans to return to a normal life, and being sure people get the opportunity to work and earn.” Asked about his concerns, he said: “I’m not a man of worries. I believe in God’s help and I hope that with God’s help we can take the country forward to a much better future.”

Justice Department blocks FBI files Copy prices will fall under IKON

By FOX BUTTERFIELD

New York Times News Service

The Justice Department has re-

fused to let the FBI check its records to determine whether any of the 1,200 people detained after the Sept. 11 attacks had bought guns, according to FBI and Justice Department officials.

The department made the decision in October after the FBI asked to examine the records it maintains of background checks to see if any detainees had purchased guns in the United States.

Mindy Tucker, a spokesperson for the Justice Department, said the request was rejected after several senior officials decided that the law creating the background check system did not permit the use of the records to investigate individuals.

Tucker did not elaborate on the decision, but it is in keeping with Attorney General John Ashcroft’s strong support of gun rights and his longstanding opposition to the government’s use of background check records. In 1998, as a senator from Missouri, Ashcroft voted for an amendment to the Brady gun-control law to destroy such records immediately after checking the background of a prospective gun buyer.

That amendment was defeated.

John Collingwood, an assistant director of the FBI, said, “We intend to use every legal tool available to protect American lives,” but added that “applicable law does not permit” the background check docu-

merits to be used “for this purpose.”

The Justice Department’s action has frustrated some FBI and other law enforcement officials who say it puts the department at odds with its own priorities. Even as the department is instituting tough new measures to detain individuals suspected of links to terrorism, they say, it is being unusually solicitous offoreigners’ gun rights.

The International Association of Chiefs of Police, the nation’s largest group of law enforcement executives, has already written one letter to the FBI opposing Ashcroft’s policy on gun records, and is drafting a second letter questioning the decision not to check the gun records.

“This is absurd and unconscionable,” said Larry Todd, the police chief of Los Gatos, Calif, and a member ofthe association’s firearms committee.

“The decision has no rational basis in public safety” he said. “It sounds to me like it was made for narrow political reasons based on a right-to-bear-arms mentality. If someone is under investigation for a terrorist act, all the records we have in this country should be checked, including whether they bought firearms.”

the investigation, I am very con-

this heinous attack to justice The NICS is the acronym for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

The conflict over how to deal with the records of background checks of gun buyers predates Sept. 11.

Under the system, a gun dealer faxes in a form filled out by a prospective buyer to either the FBI or a state law enforcement agency; the authorities run a computerized search to make sure that the buyer does not fall into one of several categories of people who are prohibited from buying a gun. Those categories include convicted felons and fugitives, but several types of foreigners as well.

The records of those background checks, also called audit logs, have long been a point of contention for some gun-rights advocates, who contend that they create a de facto national gun registry.

The FBI preserves the records for 90 days; it has said it needs at least that long for investigative purposes and to determine that the background check system is working.

According to Collingwood, the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms asked the FBI to check a list of 186 names of detainees against the background check records on Sept. 16. “The names were identified as aliens whose identities had been developed

� DUPLICATES from page 1 “It’s highly competitive in the street,” Wilkerson said. “Those people have access to all the latest technologies and have highly skilled people... because of our inadequacies, [customers] have gone off campus to businesses that can provide these services.”

Pietrantoni said the customer base for both the Copy Center and Devil’s Duplicates has never been large enough to keep either center open at all hours, and so weekend and nighttime business has gone elsewhere. In addition, the University’s stores cannot offer the same technology as other retail

copy stores. “[Because of] changing times, the Copy Center, as a single entity, will only get smaller and smaller,” he said. “To go 24-seven as a self-operating system doesn’t seem the right thing to do.”

Wilkerson added that because IKON, rather than the Division of Auxiliary Services, is running the center, prices will also be lower. Three years ago, the Copy Center was struggling to eke out a 0.3 percent profit, with revenues of $1,662 million and expenses of $1,657 million. A year later, profits plummeted to negative 5.4 percent and last year, to a negative 11.8 percent return, after the center gained only $1,316 million in revenue and had $1,471 million in expenses.

“We have seen a big drop-off in the last three years,” Pietrantoni said. “[We don’t have] all the pieces available in the field today that is available in a Kinko’s format. We’ve also found out that the industry has stepped up beyond Kinko’s.”

IKON Office Solutions is a leading provider of products and services in business communications.

Pietrantoni said the company has a $5O million operation in Morrisville that has contracts with many Research Triangle Park corporations.

The Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee recently completed an extensive student survey, which suggested “students would like to have a casual, moderately priced environment for lunch... and a slightly higher quality, fine din-

ing experience for dinner,” according to the bill.

The average price will be between $5 and $9 for dinner, and between $l2 and $22 for dinner. “The Oak Room is being brought down a level,” said DUSDAC chair Jason Freedman.

The fourth resolution passed was a recommendation to purchase a pool table for one of the two television rooms on the second floor of the Bryan Center. The initial proposal called for the removal of the room’s television, but legislators said the rooms could accommodate both a pool table and a television. DSG President C.J. Walsh said he would recommend keeping both televisions when he presents the proposal to Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta today.

Latino Studies proponents Bush expresses grief for bemoan shortage of faculty bombing victims’ familes LATINO from page 4 “The limiting factor right now is the critical mass of faculty to offer the desired offering of courses, and to sustain that offering for a few years,” said Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson.

The first step in this process is identifying faculty within the University whose expertise he in Latino Studies, and recruiting them to teach in that area.

Since the Latino Studies initiative is not a department, it does not have the status or funding available to do its own recruitment.

leader and newly designated head of the provisional government in Afghanistan, was in the area where the bomb landed but was not seriously wounded, Pentagon officials said.

“I, along with the rest of American, grieve for the loss of life in Afghanistan,” President George W. Bush said during an Oval Office appearance. “I want the families to know that they died for a noble and just cause.”

The Pentagon initially reported two were killed. A third died en route to a hospital. Officials said they had no information on the seriousness of the injuries or how many were Army or Air Force.

All 22 were described as special operations forces, but officials would not say whether they were Green Berets, Rangers or other kinds of special operations troops. It appeared likely most were Green Berets.

The deaths bring to four the number of Americans killed inside Afghanistan in the two-month war. CIA officer Johnny “Mike” Spann was killed Nov. 25 in a prison uprising while questioning forces captured in the fighting.

Several hundred U.S. special operations troops are in Afghanistan to assist the Afghan opposition forces.

The Pentagon has credited them with

helping turn the tide against the Taliban in northern Afghanistan last month by enabling more precise and effective U.S. bombing; in the south they are heavily engaged in aiding a collection ofanti-Taliban forces in a fierce fight for control of Kandahar.

U.S. officials familiar with the evolving battle for Kandahar said it appeared that the opposition forces were too few to initiate a final, climactic assault on the Taliban and al-Qaeda holdouts inside the city. Nonetheless it remains the Pentagon’s strategy to let the opposition forces take the lead on the ground, rather than send in the Marines or other U.S. ground troops to finish the fight.

Duke religion may TTA, Duke discuss potential stops partner with UNC &

� RELIGION from page 3 ity School’s goal is a professional one, while the graduate program’s goal is that of research and teaching. He said the ideal solution would be to have separate classes for graduate students.

To better the program for religion students, Meyers is considering combining the department’s resources with UNC-CH for non-Westem traditions, something that will allow more in-depth study in those areas, despite a small faculty. The religion department already has ties to UNC-CH in Islamic Studies, Judaic Studies and American Christianity.

“We could advertise real strength together if they have a common strength,” said Lewis Siegel, dean ofthe Graduate School. “Neither had sufficient strength in [non-Westem] programs and it’s an area of great interest, particularly after Sept. 11.”

The Executive Council of the Graduate Faculty passed a resolution strongly urging the religion graduate program to define itself into more focused subfields—currently there are nine, ranging from Judaic Studies to religion in modernity.

‘We were concerned that the proposal for nine subfields in the recently adopted bylaws by the religion program may create a situation in which some smaller subfields would find it more difficult to get support,”

TTA from page 3

Ninth Street. The six other sites include three more stops in Raleigh, one in Morrisville and two more in Durham—one near Alston Avenue in North-East Central Durham and another near the Duke University Medical Center.

The board has not yet approved the Medical Center stop because TTA and University officials are still discussing its location, said TTA transportation planner Juanita Shearer-Swink. The University objected to two locations that the TTA had originally suggested, leading the TTA to consider instead a site on a railroad spur that crosses Hospital Drive near the Medical Center’s helipad and a location on Elba Street, north of Erwin Road.

“The current discussion or consensus between Duke University Medical Center representatives and TTA staff is that we are not in a position to make a final decision on which of those two alternatives would be the better alternative,” Shearer-Swink said.

Tallman Trask, the University’s executive vice president, said the Medical Center is starting to develop a new master plan, which will influence the choice of stations. He also mentioned a third alternative, one near the junction of Fulton Road and the Durham Freeway, that Shearer-Swink described as less desirable. But he said the University is “not wed-

ded” to any of the stops—at least for Phase 1, where the Medical Center would be the end ofthe line.

“The real question in terms of the station location is not really this phase, it’s, ‘ls there another phase? 5 Trask said. “We are prepared to be the end of Phase 1.”

But Phase 2 of the TTA’s plan calls for a connection between Durham and Chapel Hill—either by extending regional rail servicefrom the Medical Center stop, which Trask said would be difficult, or by means of a separate, fight rail system or via bus service, Shearer-Swink said.

“One ofthe things about this [regional rail] project is that it’s really the beginning of a very large network of transit systems or it has the potential to be the beginning,” she said.

Mark Ahrendsen, transportation director for the city of Durham, said officials from Durham and Chapel Hill are still considering their options but are leaning toward the option of bus service between the two municipalities—either over special lanes constructed for buses only or along the lanes of existing roads. “The city’s plans, as envisioned in our 2020 comprehensive plan, clearly call for a density corridor and high-level transit service along the 15-501 corridor,” he said. “While the bus lane/bus in mixed traffic is, I guess, the most promising technology, local officials wanted to revisit the technologies.” ”

Surin said.

Still, the program will continue with the nine fields.

Administrators have been quicker to address concerns raised by graduate students in their response to the external review. The religion department has added a set of lockers, established a graduate student council and adopted a new advising system.

“I think it’s been pretty positive,” said James Thrall, a graduate student in religion who serves on the new council. “To a great extent, I think there were needs that simply had to be identified. It’s not that the graduate faculty were not considerate of our needs. They were just not aware of them.”

Professor uses guests to expose students to research � GUEST SPEAKERS from page 1 For example, J. William McMahon, a managing director of Goldman Sachs, visited the class Nov. 19 and spoke about risk in the aftermath of Sept. 11.

“I don’t think that there’s a lot of classes that really prepare you for the types of problems that are out there,” junior Justin Baier said. “It’s just kind of nice to feel like [these professionals] have an interest in Duke as a school.”

William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, said Wallenstein’s course is an example of using guest speakers well, and that incorporating speakers into classes must be done judiciously.

“The value of guest speakers largely depends on how the instructor fits the expertise of the guests into the subject matter,” Chafe wrote in an e-mail. “I know that [this course does] an excellent job of this, bringing the expertise of outside speakers into a vital, ongoing discussion about issues of great importance.”

Similarly structured classes exist in other departments, although some have less of a professional focus; for example, David McClay, professor of biology, taught a seminar about developmental biology that frequently featured specialists presenting their research papers.

“The whole idea is to bring graduates and undergraduates up to the cutting edge in research,” McClay said. “The great thing is to appreciate how the research professor works.... Unlike courses where the material is two to three years out of date, this is as recent as you can get.”

In McClay’s class, before the arrival of the speaker, the class went through a

The speaker then gave a public lecture describing his work, followed by a discussion with the students in the course.

“McClay’s a great teacher. He definitely made it interesting, and he challenged us to critically analyze the research,” said senior Lisa Berg, who took the course last spring. “I think it’s useful for undergraduates to have such close interaction with a wide variety of influential scientists.”

Another professor who invites guest speakers to her courses is Susan Tifft, Patterson professor of the practice of public policy. A former Time magazine reporter, Tifft is teaching courses this semester about investigative journalism and ethics in journalism.

“What I try to do is to give students a firm foundation in the fundamental ethical, logistical and technical problems journalists face,” Tifft said.

Like McClay’s course, students are given background information on the speakers and their work before they come to talk. ‘"You’re able to ask [the speakers]

*

questions. They give you little tidbits you wouldn’t be able to get [otherwise],” said sophomore Jenny Osterhout. “How they started out is really the most interesting thing.”

Senior Brad Balukjian decided to sign up for Tifft’s course after hearing her talk when she was a guest speaker in his magazine journalism course.

“I think that journalism is a field where it is really appropriate to bring into the [speakers! classroom,” Balukjian said. “You have to have a variety of thought and opinions from people who actually do journalism,”

Temple lacks talent to compete Cavaliers, Hoyas host Blue Devils

Facing the consensus No. 1 team in the country is not an easy task to begin with.

It gets worse when you have to play the Blue Devils in Cameron—not exactly touted as a fun place to play on the road.

Temple had enough to worry about with just those factors, but on top of that it had to play with one hand tied behind its back.

Kevin Lloyd Game Commentary to injury, and guard David Hawkins ineligible until next semester, the Owls found themselves dipping too far into the reserve pool.

“It’s pretty difficult to coach walkons,” Temple coach John Chaney said.

“I’ve got three kids that are walk-ons, and you just can’t coach walk-ons. You treat them nice, they’re good people and they’re good students. You put them on the team and you scholarship them.

But they aren’t blue-chip players.”

With Temple lacking offensive weapons, the Blue Devils were able to gear their entire defensive attack around the Owls’ best player—guard THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE Lynn Greer.

After its victory over then N0.6 Louisiana Tech, the women’s basketball team prepares to embark on a weekend trip to Virginia and then Washington, D.C. The No. 9 Blue Devils (5-2) are set to open ACC conference play Thursday night in Charlottesville, Va., against the Virginia Cavaliers (5-2) at 7:30 p.m. in University Hall. Saturday, Duke will continue its journey to the nation’s capital to square off against the unranked Georgetown Hoyas at 4 p.m. in McDonough Arena. Seeing as how the team members are entering their reading period this weekend, this road trip could prove extra difficult.

“I think the games are going to be tough battles for us,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We are heading into our reading period and are coming' off a very emotional win against La. Tech, so we have to make sure that we are very focused for these two games. I think we will be focused'for Virginia because it is our first ACC game, but the Georgetown game scares me a little bit because it’s not an ACC game and it’s the last game of this stretch.”

The Cavaliers’ style of play closely resembles the Blue Devils’. Both squads are young—each starts mostly freshmen and sophomores—athletic, and a little inconsistent thus far during the season. After Duke’s last win over a ranked opponent, against Texqs Tech Nov. 11, the team came out very flat in its following two games.

Coach Goestenkors hopes that the Blue Devils have learned from their prior mistakes.

Florida withstands late Michigan State comeback

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press

74 GAINESVILLE, Fla. Most players from the Final MSU 70 Four teams of the recent past have left Michigan State. That did not keep Florida from savoring its breakthrough against the Spartans.

Behind a career-high 23 points from Matt Florida

Bonner and a smothering full-court press, No. 6 Florida defeated No. 24 Michigan State 7470 Wednesday night.

Brett Nelson scored 15 points for the Gators (5-1), who won in this, the second rematch against the Spartans (4-3) since the teams met in the national championship game in 2000.

“When we’re playing Michigan State, I know people are talking about how it’s a big rivalry,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said. “But it’s hard to be a rivalry when you don’t win.”

The Gators need not worry about that anymore, although this young—some say rebuilding—Michigan State team almost pulled this game out with an amazing, late rally.

The Spartans chipped a 19-point deficit to four with 18 seconds left by making four quick three-pointers.

Spartans stole the inbounds pass, but missed two three-pointers as time expired, and Florida finally had its win in this series.

“Let’s not be fooled by the last four minutes,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. “They handed it to us.

“This is a potential Final Four team. What I love about them so much, is they remind me of our team the last three years.”

Michigan State defeated Florida 89-76 in the championship game to end the 1999-2000 season, then won the first rematch last year in East Lansing. But these were not the same Spartans, and the O’Connell Center surely is

not Michigan State country.

Playing surrounded by fans clad in blue and orange T-shirts —they call them the Rowdy Reptiles—Bonner had everything from his baby hook to his three-point shot working.

He also had 10 rebounds.

It was a good thing, because Florida’s other big man, Udonis Haslem, spent most of the night in foul trouble, and finished with just eight points and six rebounds.

With or without Haslem, the Spartans could not handle Florida’s press. Michigan State committed 20 turnovers, many coming in their own backcourt.

AP names Grossman Player of Year After Torre, Yanks look

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press

Rex Grossman might remember his record-setting year at Florida more for the sting of a season-shattering loss.

Despite a gallant effort by Grossman, Florida lost to Tennessee 34-32 last week and squandered its chance to play for the Southeastern Conference title and a spot in the BCS national championship game at the Rose Bowl.

The loss did not do much to hurt the stature of the nation’s top-rated passer, who was chosen Wednesday as the 2001 Associated Press College Player of the Year.

“Our season fell short of what we hoped,” Grossman said. “We’re a little down in Gainesville. I thought I had a pretty good year, but two losses is kind of all we can think about right now.”

Grossman received 18 votes in balloting by the 72 members of the AP college football poll board, which includes member newspapers, TV and radio stations.

The Gator quarterback edged Miami QB Ken Dorsey by three votes, while Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch finished third with 12 votes.

Oklahoma safety Roy Williams was fourth with seven votes, and Indiana quarterback Antwaan Randle El and Miami left tackle Bryant McKinnie tied for fifth with five votes each.

“There are some tremendous players around the country, and I am privileged to be in their company and receive this award,” Grossman said.

Gators coach Steve Spurrier said the sophomore “richly deserved” the honor.

“He is probably the best pure passer of the quarterbacks I have coached and is one of the most courageous players,” he said. “He loves to compete.”

Grossman is among four finalists for the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded Saturday night. He’s also up for Walter Camp player of the year, the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien national quarterback of the year.

With Grossman, Spurrier finally closed his revolving door of quarterbacks, which began after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel departed.

Once Grossman got going, the numbers started piling up. The nation’s leader in total offense threw for 3,896 yards and 34 touchdowns.

The Yankees are nearing the finish line in negotiations for Jason Giambi, and from all indications, they are going to sign him. But there is something that worries some in the organization: a late bid by the Oakland Athletics, a final financial and emotional appeal from Giambi’s first and only team.

The Yankees are also completing some other business. Manager Joe Torre signed a three-year contract that will pay him more than $5 million a year, a package of just over $l6 million. The Yankees are also on the verge of signing the reliever Steve Karsay, who has been courted by other teams who want to make him their closer. Karsay would have to pass a physical examination with the Yankees before any deal is completed. The Yankees are also negotiating with the left-hander Sterling Hitchcock, who could sign a contract next week.

Giambi rejected a six-year, $9l million offer from Oakland during the season, and he indicated last week that the Athletics had not adjusted that proposal. The Yankees, meanwhile, have aggressively pursued Giambi since the free-agent signing period began two weeks ago, discussing deals that would pay Giambi from $ll2 million to $ll9 million over seven years. But the talks have dragged on longer than expected, with Yankee officials mulling over their own position, trying to determine if they were bidding against themselves.

The Athletics seem to be out ofthe picture. But, as one baseball executive speculated Tuesday, their current posture might be the best position to be in as they compete with the cash-rich Yankees.

“If they stand toe to toe with the Yankees and trade bids, they’re going to lose,” the general manager said. “But if See GIAMBI on page 19

Blue Devils meet Wolverines, Coach K faces former player

By TED MANN The Chronicle

Coach Mike Krzyzewski will be confronted with a familiar face this Saturday, when the No. 1 Blue Devils (70) travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on the Michigan Wolverines (3-3) at 2 p.m. in Crisler Arena. However, for the first time, Duke alum Tommy Amaker will not be on Krzyzewski’s side but will instead be trying to execute an upset as the first-year coach of the unranked Wolverines.

Amaker played for Krzyzewski at Duke between 1984 and 1987, leading the team to four consecutive NCAA tournament bids. Soon after graduating, he took over as an assistant coach for the Blue Devils, roaming the sidelines alongside Krzyzewski for nine successful seasons before accepting the head-coaching job at Seton Hall. There he spent three up-and-down years before deciding to make the move to Michigan.

‘Tommy was here for a long time,” Krzyzewski said. “There is nobody here except me who has been here longer as a player and coach. He gave such a great foundation for this program. He was a great point guard—that missing ingredient for the team—and then he was a fabulous assistant.”

Krzyzewski, who usually avoids scheduling games against teams coached by his former players or assistant coaches, was trapped into playing Amaker’s squad when Amaker replaced Brian Ellerbe as the Wolverines’ coach this past spring.

The two teams, which have played annually for years, could not cancel the

games this year or next, although after next season the series will be discontinued indefinitely.

Although the coaching matchup is delicious, the game itself, which is nationally televised on CBS, is far less enticing.

Amaker has experienced some difficulties in his first few games at Michigan, watching his team lose to less-than-powerhouse teams like Western Michigan and Bowling Green. They could be in for a long night against Duke, especially if last year’s matchup with the Blue Devils is any indication.

In that game, the Blue Devils came out on fire, taking a 59-18 lead into halftime and eventually drubbing the Wolverines by a final score of 104-61.

Forward Mike Dunleavy expects much more of a challenge this year.

“Last year was something that will never be replicated,” Dunleavy said.

“They’re really well-coached... [and] they’ve got a lot of guys back from last year, so it’s going to be a tough game.”

Dunleavy will likely draw the responsibility of guarding LaVell Blanchard, a Wooden Award candidate and Michigan’s leading scorer and rebounder.

“He’s a really good player” Dunleavy said. “I played against him a lot in high school. It’ll be a real challenge for me.”

Krzyzewski expects a challenge for the whole team.

“I’m excited to go up there,” Krzyzewski said. “I think Tommy’s going to build a great program up there. [He’s] done a good job with that team [this year], so it’ll be a difficult game for us.”

ANALYSIS

Inside

Outside

Avery Queen, the famed “little point guard” from last year’s game in Cameron, crumbled last year against Duke’s pressure. Also, he cannot cover the much larger player with whom he is matched up. The Duhon-topoint-guard move worked better for him and Williams against Temple, and that trend should continue.

O

c

CD

CQ

Daniel Ewing provides quality minutes in the backcourt, while Casey Sanders and Nick Horvath spell Duke’s starters up front. Michigan's best player off the bench has been three-point bombing freshman Dommanic Ingerson. Duke gets the edge here considering Ewing would start for Michigan.

In the battle between master and pupil, the master usually wins. The Michigan players will have incentive to play their absolute best, if they remember how badly Duke embarrassed them in Cameron last year.

Duke should come in with confidence after dismantling Temple Wednesday.

Amaker seems to be off in the direction of turning Michigan around. He’s starting to battle Tom Izzo for recruits. But other than freshman Ingerson and Chuck Bailey, they’re not here yet. Amaker has the same team that was completely undressed by Duke last year.

Robinson, who cut his hand after punching a window after losing to Bowling Green, may need a straitjacket for after the game. Duke wins 96-62 Compiled by Tyler Rosen

The frontcourt is clearly the strength of Michigan’s game. But at each position, Duke has a better version of Michigan’s player. Boozer is more athletic and polished than Young; Dunleavy more versatile than Blanchard and Jones punches the glass in front of fire extinguishers less than Robinson.

Goestenkors: Duke must play with more consistency � WOMEN’S BASKETBALL from page 13 “Great teams play at a certain level all the time,” Goestenkors said. “This is another challenge for us to see how much we have grown since [the seasonopening Texas Tech] game.”

The Blue Devils will need to contain

Virginia’s star senior, Telisha Quarles, if they hope to defeat the Cavaliers and improve on their 14-32 all-time record against the Wahoos. Quarles, a senior guard, is Virginia’s leading scorer, averaging 15.0 points a game, and is coming off a career-high 26-point effort against UC-Santa Barbara.

The Blue Devils will need to take advantage of Quarles’ tendency to use her left hand to drive, and to limit her opportunities near the basket if they hope to contain her.

“Telisha is a really good player and a player,” coach great one-on-one Goestenkors said. “She scores a lot ofher points getting out on the break since she is so good in transition. We will have to match with her really early. We would also rather keep her on the outside than allow her to create inside.”

In response to UVa’s major threat, the Blue Devils will counter with sophomore sensation and National Player of the Year candidate Alana Beard. She will be an integral part of the Duke offense, being Duke’s leading scorer, at 17.4 points per game and also averaging 6.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 4.4 steals this season.

In addition, Duke will look towards

junior guard Sheana Mosch to get more involved in the offense. After opening the season quite tentatively, Mosch has been more assertive in her shooting lately and will look to emulate her performance against Virginia from last year in which she broke out for 25 points on 12-for-15 shooting from the field.

After a very quick turnaround, the Blue Devils will face the Hoyas Saturday in what will be a homecoming for star freshman Monique Currie, who hails from Washington, D.C. Currie, who has been selected ACC Rookie of the Week twice —including for her 19point effort against Louisiana Tech, is Duke’s third leading scorer, averaging 14.0 points and 5.4 rebounds in only 23.7 minutes per game.

If the Hoyas are to have a chance against the Blue Devils, they will have to rely on their leading scorer and sophomore rebounder, forward Rebekkah Brunson. She is averaging 16.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and is a force down low and Duke has to lose its focus as it did against Toledo and South Carolina.

In addition to sending the team into the finals break on a four-game winning streak, two victories on this road trip would place Goestenkors in a tie with Debbie Leonard as the winningest coach in Duke history, with 213 alltime victories. In only 10 seasons in Durham, Goestenkors has posted a 211-80 record.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Both teams start a freshman at center, and Virginia’s Brandi learner is averaging nine rebounds per game this season. The scoring power of Iciss Tillis and Wynter Whitley should be more than the Cavaliers can handle, however; defensively, the pair combined for five blocks and five steals in the win against Louisiana Tech.

C

Senior guard Telisha Quarles has led Virginia in scoring in four of its five wins, including a career-high 26-point performance in the Cavaliers’ narrow victory over UCSanta Barbara. Last season at Virginia, Duke’s Sheana Mosch started a six-game streak of double-figure scoring with 25 points on 12-for-15 shooting.

The Blue Devils continue to show their depth from the bench, with nine of 10 players making an appearance in the starting lineup, while all players are averaging at least 13 minutes a game. With a quick turnaround to Saturday’s game at Georgetown, Duke should continue to spread playing time, especially if it builds a big lead.

m

Both Duke and Virginia come in with 5-2 starts to the young season. But tonight’s game marks the beginning of ACC play and those records are meaningless.

The Blue Devils should be fired up and will look to send a message to the rest of the conference that they are once again the team to beat.

Virginia only returns two starters from last year, and many predicted the Cavaliers to struggle. However, Virginia is off to a surprise start and is riding a three-game winning streak. Duke is coming off a big win over Louisiana Tech. If Alana Beard can repeat her 15 point, 11 assist, six-steal performance and Duke shoots the ball well out of the gate, the Blue Devils should roll. Duke wins 79-64.

lent to theirs,” Izzo said. “But I can’t make experience an excuse, because we’ve got games to win.”

After trailing by 19, Michigan State cut it to 13 with seven minutes left and had momentum. That’s when Bonner showed his value goes beyond mere shooting and rebounding.

On a Florida possession, the Spartans forced the ball loose and it looked headed to the backcourt, but Bonner chased it down, picked it up just in front of the line and called a timeout before he lost his balance and fell into the backcourt.

Izzo just smiled, maybe wishing he had a player that savvy on his bench.

After the timeout, Nelson hit a threepointer to push the lead to 16. It turned out to be too much for Michigan State to overcome, although the late rally gave the Spartans something to build on—and the Gators something to learn from.

“I thought for 36 minutes we played really great basketball,” Donovan said.

Marcus Taylor led the Spartans with 17 points, and Kelvin Torbert—one ofthree freshmen getting big playing time for Michigan State—had 15, including two treys during the late rally.

The Gators pressed more than they had in the previous two meetings, because Donovan knew the Spartans were not as good, or experienced.

“They’ve got some guys who are going to be good players,” Donovan said. “But this was probably the first time some of them have seen pressure like that.”

Gone from the team that reached its third straight Final Four last season are Andre Hutson, Jason Richardson and Zach Randolph, along with four others.

The Gators, meanwhile, have lost outside shooter Teddy Dupay—he of the famed tangled-leg incident that briefly knocked Mateen Cleaves from the title game—but still have Bonner, Haslem, Nelson and Justin Hamilton, who were all among the core oftheir Final Four team.

Prudent tuition increase Facing

a budget deficit, the Graduate School acted pre-emptively to stem that shortfall earlier this week by raising tuition almost $B,OOO over the next three years. Although the annual 10 to 11 percent increases may cause problems for some graduate students, the action was necessary to secure the overall financial stability of the school.

Graduate School officials will be forced to use reserve funds this year despite their search for alternatives, but all other options were not acceptable. The school recently implemented a summer fellowship program for research and raised TA stipends while also expanding its instructional technology and English language support. These initiatives certainly increased costs but were necessary to maintain the overall quality of graduate instruction—cutting them should not be an option. Similarly, reducing the number of graduate students would have also had a detrimental effect.

Administrators should take care not to burden master’s students excessively, who may not be as fortunate because they must pay per course—with a courseload that varies across departments—and do not have always a vast network offunding available. The Graduate School should standardize tuition across the different fields so master’s students are charged by the year, not by the unit.

At the same time, the tuition and fee hikes now bring the University’s graduate tuition up to those charged by peer institutions and analogous to the total undergraduate payment as well. A low tuition cost has its advantages, but the primary reason for coming to Duke should not be that the University is the cheapest option.

Furthermore, Duke still benefits from being in an area with a lower cost of living than many other major research universities.

By choosing to raise tuition, the Graduate School may have actually found an option of minimal impact upon students. The funding for many graduate students comes from a combination of grants and departmental resources, and doctoral students—depending upon their field—can earn these degrees without having to pay exorbitant tuition costs. Many of these same grants, such as 120 grant slots from the National Institutes of Health, will absorb a large part ofthe Graduate School’s increase. In other cases, departments will have to seek out additional grant money to offset the increased cost of maintaining their respective graduate programs.

Funding for the Graduate School has not been a top University priority—its capital campaign goal of $2O million is only one-hundredth of the capital campaign’s larger goal. Still, graduate students provide a vital link at any top research university because they are the engines of both faculty research and undergraduate teaching. The budget deficit highlights the importance ofraising

these funds for the school.

BSA, Women’s Center speaker thwarts mainstream I would like to address John Zimmerman’s Nov. 28 column regarding Elaine Brown and his self-perceived qualified footing as one to be critical of the decisions made to bring her as a speaker by the Black Student Alliance and the Women’s Center.

Since Zimmerman is neither a black in America nor a woman in our society, his enlightened

insight regarding the qualification of Brown to speak to this demographic certainly didn’t come from personal experience. So where does his assertion that Brown was given the opportunity to speak simply because she is a black woman come from? Was he at the BSA or Women’s Center meeting when this decisionmaking process occurred—of course not—but since when is that a barrier to being a witness to fact? I believe his arrogance regarding his power to critique others comes from something more troubling.

The idea that groups other than those based in for referenced column,

the leadership, ownership or predominance of thought by white males, are presumably less able to make critical and emotionally divorced decisions is at the base of Zimmerman’s beliefs and comments. Unfortunately, too many who control the policies, education and editorial pages in the society in which we live have given credence to this idea as being an enlightened underpinning of our nation’s thought process. Thus the creation of groups such as BSA and the Women’s Center, which allow decision-making to not be, at least immediately, controlled by those in that majority.

The predominance of top officials such as Condoleezza Rice and Clarence Thomas, who have been selected in this country as being two of the top chosen blacks in our Constitutional system, should be greatly upsetting to those concerned with effecting real change of the current situa-

tion of blacks in America.

These supposed leaders do not ideologically represent 90 percent of the people they tacitly represent, and they were placed in power by white men who received political kudos for doing so. I contend that these calm strivers often do the most damage, in that their selection is based largely on the fact thatthey are the least apt or inspired to exercise their given power, to disrupt the status quo.

If a group were to sponsor a speaker addressing a topic Zimmerman believes is a

pressing issue in society, such as reverse racism, would the fact that the speaker was, say, a white man come into anyone’s conversation about his qualifications to speak? I think not, and that is what lends many such as myself to remain frustrated and open to hearing what others such as Brown have to say.

Bin Laden II strikes Israel

Extreme religious groups are hijacking the Palestinian national movement The Palestinian Intifada II is finished.

It ended with last weekend’s spasm of suicide bombings against Israeli kids—a signal that the Palestinian national movement was being taken over by bin Ladenism, which is the nihilistic pursuit of murderous violence against civilians, without any political program and outside of any political context. If there is anything left of the Palestinian national movement for independence, it better act now to rescue itself. Otherwise, it’s headed for the same dark cave as Osama bin Laden.

violence. The Israeli silent majority and the world’s silent majority were both poised for a serious deal, and had Prime Minister Ariel Sharon spurned a Palestinian peace bid he would have been swept aside. But instead, Palestinians offered a suicide package.

It leads to only one conclusion: that the priority of the Palestinians is not achieving an independent state. Their priority, apparently, is to kill Jews and get revenge for Israel’s assassination of a Hamas leader whose only claim to fame was organizing previous suicide bombings—a regular Thomas Jefferson.

So Intifada 11, which was supposedly an uprising to prompt Israel to give Palestinians 100 percent of the West Commentary Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, has How so?

Palestinians support and cover for a fair compromise. America just told Israel publicly that it must end settlements, end the occupation and accept a

Palestinian state to end the conflict.

When will Egypt and Saudi Arabia tell the Palestinians publicly that their game is up and they have to accept a Jewish state and end the conflict?

(When will they tell themselves?)

Because if they won’t, if they only blame Israel and sit by while the Palestinian national movement is hijacked

by

Jihad—which want no end of the conflict except when all Jews are gone—then America too will retreat and simply adopt the view that Israel’s occupation is a matter of self-defense, and may the stronger nation win.

The measure of Duke’s community Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge

and controversy.”

T'WfmjL The ultimate measure of Duke is not how many works we publish, l|r grants we receive or the types jobs our graduates get, but where we stand at Troy times ofchallenge and controversy. We Clair can measure the health of our commu nity by how we react when a community member does something that we do not like.

If we include incendiary comments in the paper, draw vulgar paintings on the East Campus bridge, write angry chalking on the Bryan Center walkway or use inflammatory rhetoric to try to divide the community into taking sides as part of our conversation, we are not truly engaged in dialogue.

If we label people as anti-American, unpatriotic or terrorists because they do not conform to a certain ideology, this is not fostering debate. When we set up false normative standards against which we measure someone’s Americanism or patriotism, this prevents us from focusing on the real issues underlying the debate.

When there was an editorialized advertisement, we gave it a full page in our newspaper in the name of allowing different voices to enter into a debate. We only let one side speak and the opponents could only get a few lines to respond in the paper the next day.

We masked the issue as a fight for free speech instead ofrecognizing that the right to speak was not the topic at all. The debate was stifled because the author was absent and could not be directly dial-

lenged. On the other hand, when we bring a speaker to campus, that person is available for direct challenges and questions When students protest the ideas presented and the community’s reaction, we try to belittle them and their causes. We say they are whining. We say they are overacting. But, we ignore our part in creating a community where people have to continually fight to have their voices heard, responded to and respected.

When there was a 1969 sit-in in the Allen Building to protest the types of injustice that hurt all of our community, we responded with the National Guard, police in riot gear and tear gas. Is this the way a community should respond to people trying to improve it? For more than 30 years, the Black Student Alliance has worked to support and advocate on behalf of black students in order to improve the Duke community.

We do not provide enough outlets for people who feel disrespected, in the community or by its members, to constructively discuss what is wrong in a timely manner. We walk around hurt and upset with one another, which does not bring us to a better understanding or provide a release for our emotions.

We judge people even before we ask them what they think. We call people names instead of calling them to talk. We do not respect them, dismiss what they say and label them a disservice to their community, even though our disrespect is a disservice to our community.

We try to dictate how people feel. We seek to embarrass them so that they are afraid to speak up again. The arrogance of telling someone how to feel smacks right in the face of beginning dialogue. We feel powerful by trying to make people who disagree

with us run and hide instead of engaging us in substantive debate.

The true measure of our Duke community is how

we participate in dialogue. A community that continues to use impersonal means of communication has not built the mature relationships necessary for us to progress. When someone that disagrees with me would rather write a negative letter to the editor than discuss the problems over lunch, it is a sign of a com-

munity in trouble.

Dialogue has become such a superficial term that some of us forget what it really means. It means talking with someone, discussing or debating your views, and it is even more beneficial when it occurs in person.

We are busy Duke students and may not always have time for another meeting or a discussion over lunch.

Fine. But, it is counterproductive to create controversy by personally attacking organizations or individuals for fear that they will challenge your thinking or lack thereof. We cannot be afraid to have this engagement and cannot move forward in dialogue if we do not enter it with an open mind.

The ultimate measure of a community is how the people with opposing views handle their disagreements. We must measure our conversations by how they are initiated, who creates them and what results from them. The ultimate measure of Duke is whether people enter conversations to dominate the debate in hopes of intimidating others or enter as strong advocates for their points of view expecting that someone with equally strong opinions will challenge these views.

Do we, as a community, measure up?
