Dirt lots, buses top parking plan Pratt, Law

Ist schools to hit goal

By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle

Plans for a new remote parking lot on Maxwell Street, a central component of the University’s restructuring of the parking system, have been scrapped in favor of two graveltopped dirt lots on Duke University Road. Along with discontinuing the efforts on the Maxwell lot, officials announced several other changes that include pushing back the window for online parking registration by two weeks and modifying the process of obtaining Blue Zone passes for off-campus residents. The administration also plans to begin a new daily bus service to run from West Campus to the Belmont and Duke Manor apartment complexes. Catherine Reeve, director of parking and transportation, said the Maxwell lot plan, which would have served ofif-campus students, fell through because it failed to meet Durham

city requirements. We could not have met our Sept. 1 deadline for the Maxwell lot,” said Joe Pietrantoni, associate vice president for auxiliary services. “The gravel lots are a temporary solution. It wasn’t the greatest decision ever, but it’s not a bad option.” The replacement of the proposed Maxwell Street lot with two gravel-topped dirt lots on Duke University Road contradicts a previously expressed consensus among administrators—including Executive Vice President Tallman Trask—that the lots are unsafe and would eventually be abandoned as a parking option. Reeve explained that in response to safety concerns, the University will coordinate its efforts with the City ofDurham to ensure the lots are properly lit, fenced and patrolled regularly between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. ‘We will do everything we can to make sure cars in the new lots are not broken into, and that anyone who parks there is safe,” Pietrantoni said. We are trying to prevent break-ins, but I’m not saying it won’t happen.” He added that the Duke University Police Department will station officers with radar See PARKING CHANGES on page 38

Moneta inspires praise, criticism Undergrads join Movet*'* genomics study By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Since coming to Duke last August, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta has restructured the Division of Student. Affairs, prepared the campus for the largest residential change since all freshmen moved to East Campus and is the first in his position to sit on President Nan Keohane’s senior officers council. A year after his arrival, however, colleagues and student leaders say that perhaps Moneta’s greatest impact has been bringing a fresh perspective and a new leadership and management style to campus. “The year was fast, rapid, intense, exciting and very fulfilling,” said Sue Wasiolek, dean of students and assistant vice president for student affairs. “With [Moneta] there’s no such thing as phasing something in.” Duke Student Government President and senior Joshua Jean-Baptiste agreed. “He’s a swift mover.... He at first leaves the floor open for discussion, but once consensus is made, there’s not a chance for rethinking it,” he said Moneta has not simply been quick to pull the trigger. Administrators and students say he has also challenged traditional thinking at the University. Provost Peter Lange, for example, praised Moneta’s

As the genomics initiative continues to take shape, a recent grant will begin to link undergraduates to the larger Duke effort. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute awarded the University a $l.B million grant to further undergraduate scientific education and research. The grant will provide for additional facilities, courses, student research opportunities, a lecture series and outreach

workshops to North Carolina teachers. “The grants have paralleled areas of research in science that are on the national forefront,” said Mary

Nijhout, associate dean of Trinity College. “[Howard] Hughes has been instrumental in keeping undergraduate education up with faculty research.” Dr. Joseph Nevins, chair of the newly-merged Department ofMolecular Genetics and Microbiology, said the newest HHMI award will allow the benefits of genomics work to better funnel down to undergraduates. The University had applied for $2.2 million, and the University is funding the $400,000 shortfall to provide

University news, while you were gone... Gates Foundation gift to fund sciences The University announced a $35 million gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation at an Academic Council meeting in early May. Thirty million dollars of the gift will help fund the planned multidisciplinary sciences building—to be named the French Science Center, in honor of Melinda French Gates’, Trinity ‘B6 and Fuqua ‘B7, family. The other $5 million will be earmarked for assorted Student Affairs projects.

Board of Trustees approves construction The Board of Trustees gave final approval in May for the construction of the $97 million Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences. Trustees gave preliminary approval to three other projects, including

an $BO million multidisciplinary sciences building, a $25 to 30 million addition to the Washington Duke Inn and a $l2 million addition to the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. The program in bioinformatics and genome technology also received a green light, as did the new Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology and the University’s $1,221 billion budget for the 2003 fiscal year, a 4.4 percent increase over the cur-

rent year’s budget.

DUHS orders layoffs The Duke University Health System announced the elimination of 300 posi-

tions in response to budgetary pressures caused by the elimination of government reimbursements and higher health care costs. The first 100 of the job cuts were announced in June.

Snyderman nets top pay Dr. Ralph Snyderman, chancellor of health affairs and Duke University Health System president and CEO, was the highest paid University employee for the 2000-2001 fiscal year, according to Internal Revenue Service 990 tax forms released in May. Snyderman received more than $674,000 in his expense account and other allowances—most of which was a forgiven real estate loan—which, along with his salary and contributions to his employee benefit plans, brought the DUHS chiefs total compensation to $1,156,277.

Provost approves financial aid recommendations Provost Peter Lange informed Duke Student Government officials in June that the University will heed the group’s March report’s recommendations to eliminate the car policy and establish a

universal housing rate. The financial

aid office currently deducts 35 percent of the car’s value from a student’s aid, unless the car is worth less than $3,000 or is older than five years.

Melin-

numbers set a record high this year and Duke’s acceptance rate was the lowest in school history, matriculation yield remained a stagnant 43.4 percent for the Class of 2006. Just over 33 percent of those matriculating listed themselves as a member of a minority group when applying, about the same as last year. However, the Graduate School’s incoming class of 630 students will be its largest and most selective ever. The school accepted a lower percentage of applicants this year than ever before, offering admittance to just under 20 percent of the pool. See SUMMER NEWS on page 26

Duke copes with drought limits By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

In the midst of the region’s worst drought in a century, the sight of sprinklers operating at mid-day in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens has become a point ofdiscontent for some Durham residents. Duke officials maintain and the city manager’s office confirms, however, that the University has operated within the letter of the law since the city enacted Singe 111 ofthe Water Conservation Ordinance in late June. Durham’s Conservation Coordinator Vicki Westbrook said the University has been cooperative in working with the city. Currently, Duke is one of 37 businesses licensed to operate contrary to the ordinance, with a provision that overall usage be reduced by 30 percent or greater. “[The University] didn’t want people to think they were abusing water. They wanted to get all the paperwork in place so it was understood that they were working with us and making concessions ori overall water usage,” Westbrook said. “They have been very responsive to any additional inquiries we’ve had, and they’ve taken immediate action to anything that has been brought up.” Westbrook noted the University has actually cut water usage by more than 30 percent since the restrictions were put in place.

dens and using more water from a nearby pond, the University has decided to hold off on campus landscaping projects, including at the newly built WestEdens Link dormitory.

“It makes little sense to add additional watering needs at this time of the year when we have the restrictions in place,” said Grounds and Sanitation Manager Joe Jackson. “That’s like taking one step forward and several backward.” Glenn Reynolds, manager of projects and engineering, said the University requested a water use license so it could hydrate the gardens at times when the rest of the city is limited. “With the variety of flora and fauna we have on campus, some of it requires more attention than what the strict requirements allow us to do,” he said. “We are not at optimum, but with the initiatives we’ve taken and with the coordination and cooperation we’ve gotten from the city, we’re maintaining.” Most ofthe complaints that Durham residents have made about the University’s watering practices have been based on misunderstandings, said Westbrook

Immune variant tied to atherosclerosis

•

Medical Center researchers have discovered a genetic variant of an immune system receptor that simultaneously dampens the body’s response to bacteria and other microbial toxins while also reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, the clogging of the arteries. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine and led by Dr. David Schwartz, a professor of pulmonary medicine, examined a 10-member family of receptors known as Toll-tike receptors, which provide the immune system’s first warning of invaders. The genetic abnormality could lead to a new approach in creating anti-atherosclerosis drugs.

Researchers identify G protein sub-units

•

In a study in July’s edition of Molecular Cell, scientists from Duke’s Medical Center and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute identified a new strain of metabolic switches in yeast that could lead to new drugs for diabetes, alcoholism and heart disease. The metabolic switches, called G proteins, typically lie just inside the cell membrane and initiate cell responses when activated by their G-protein-coupled receptors. The researchers identified three novel sub-units of G proteins that are completely unrelated but serve similar functions. Dr. Joseph Heilman, associate professor of genetics, and Thoshiaki Harashima, a research associate in microbiology, co-authored the study. :

Scientists offer new AIDS treatments By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Two new drug therapies can significantly slow the advance of HIV in both the early and late stages of infection, giving new hope to patients with the virus that causes AIDS, according to two Duke studies released earlier this month. In one finding, doctors announced the potentially groundbreaking effectiveness of T-20, a fusion inhibitor, which is part of the class of drugs that can successfully prevent the entry of HIV into human cells. Researchers in another study compared patients’ response to several antiretroviral drug combinations, or cocktails, which attempt to slow the reproduction of viruses within cells, and found that some are far more efficient than others. The researchers presented the studies at the 14th annual International AIDS Conference in Barcelona, Spain, held the week of July 8. Dr. Dani Bolognesi headed the T-20 study, which grew out ofthe research he and other Duke professors pioneered in the early 19905. The drug’s benefits come, he said, because HIV mutates in some patients to become immune to many of the 17 therapies currently on the market. By taking the unique approach of preventing the virus from ever entering cells, and combining T-20 with more common drugs, researchers greatly reduced HlV’s presence in patients. “While these cocktails are effective, they are not without side-effects. Taking such strong drugs for a long period of time can be very damaging for a patient, and then the virus can re-emerge,” said Bolognesi, who is now on leave from his position as professor of experimental surgery, working fulltime to develop T-20 as chief executive officer of Trimeris, Inc. in Research Triangle Park. “Our drug doesn’t really care whether the virus has developed resistance or not. It’s equally effective against naturally developed HIV strains and those that have evolved over time.” In one of the trials, the concentration of HIV in patients using T-20 fell to the recommended low levels in 37 percent of cases, compared to 16 percent of cases in which patients just took traditional drug cocktails. The federal Food and Drug Administration recently placed T-20 on its fast-track list for approval within six months, and Bolognesi said it could be on the market within a year. In addition, he said Trimeris is making progress on an even stronger drug, T-1249, that may replace T-20 if HIV develops immunity to the latter. On the opposite end of HIV treatment, patients who have never taken medication for the virus may now have a

much better chance at longevity according to a study that examined the effectiveness of different cocktails. Dr. John Bartlett, professor of medicine, told the experts gathered in Barcelona that over three quarters of patients responded positively to at least one of the three cocktails tested. A group using a combination of the antiretroviral drugs abacavir, lamivudine and nNRTI saw the most dramatic reduction in HIV copies per milliliter of blood, in some cases dropping from as high as 100,000 copies/mL to 50 copies/mL. “Trying to find the best combination for patients is a challenge. It requires a controlled group, and a very large sample,” Bartlett said. The results represent analysis after 48 weeks ofthe study, and Bartlett said they will know more as trials continue.

Victim of reported assault speaks out on safety By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Cari Goldman still had her first DukeCard when she graduated. She fought with her roommate over keeping the blinds shut. She took every precaution in the book. She was Duke’s least likely victim of assault. But that did not stop her from falling prey to a two-and-a-half-hour assault and attempted rape last February, which five months later she reflects on with concern and advice for other students living off-campus. “I’m living in New York City now, but I think I would be more scared to walk alone in Durham than here,” Goldman said. “There is only so much a responsible student can do—everybody has to work together. Durham [crime] is not something that can be conquered in a day, but [conquering] it is also not something that cannot be done.” Goldman laid responsibility at the feet of not only students, but also the University and area landlords. Goldman currently is suing Erwin Square Apartments, her former residence where the attack occurred, for not providing adequate security for its tenants, of whom many are female Duke

students. “Landlords have to be aware of crime—l don’t understand how they could not be,” she said. “It should be their job to know what is going on.” Since the attack, those in charge of Erwin Square Apartments have installed flood lights in the parking lot, secured window screens, employed a police officer for on-site security and start-

the apartments during dark hours. The officer, Durham police Officer Lawrence O’Brien, said his last day was scheduled as July 20, until July 19, when officials decided to renew the contract. Erwin representatives would not comment. Belmont Apartment Business Manager Marty Snyder said the gated complex has not yet filled the vacant position of a security officer that it hoped to fill this summer.

O’Brien, who saved Goldman from her attacker in February and has since guarded Erwin, said female tenants have told him that his presence has made them feel more secure, particularly in returning to the complex after dark. “Living alone, I would not feel comfortable without security,” Erwin resident junior Wallis Avalone said. O’Brien recommended that students planning to move off campus contact the Crime Analysis Unit ofthe Durham Police Department, which can inform students of how much and what type of crime has been reported in different lo-

cations. After they move in, Crime Prevention Officers can walk them through their new residence and make locationspecific safety recommendations. Above all, he recommended that students take personal precautions. “Even in the good areas, if you are not careful, you are inviting yourself to become a victim of crime,” O’Brien said. The University has plans to create a website this fall that provides students with information on the safety of offcampus areas, similar to the service the Crime Analysis Unit offers, Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Burness said. The University also is co-sponsoring an initiative to encourage Durham police officers to live in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding East Campus. “Off campus is very different than a campus situation, where we have Duke police there to keep students safe,” Burness said. Goldman, who graduated in December and had returned to campus last spring to enjoy the remainder of her college experience, said the University—which had posted Erwin on its website as an off-campus living option —should take a more active role in protecting its students. “Duke needs to educate students on how unsafe Durham is,” Goldman said. “Given the incident in Erwin with me... the University ought to put some pressure on Erwin, on all the places where they know students live. People can lose sight ofthe fact that there is a place beyond Duke at Duke, and that they need

to be careful.”

Three finalists vie for Durham police chief position By ABBY PRINGLE The Chronicle

City Manager Marcia Connor has a difficult call to make. From a pool of nearly 50 initial applicants, three men whom she calls highly qualified now await her decision on which of them will become the next chief of the Durham Police Department. The three candidates have expressed similar strategies and ideas for improving the police throughout the process, but would bring different styles and backgrounds to the job. “Many law enforcement agencies work together or share information,” said City Councilor John Best. “This makes for

pretty uniform strategies—the differences are mostly in personal characteristics and ability to stand by their actions.” Steven Chalmers, interim Durham Police chief; William Carcara, chief of the Jefferson County (Ky.) Police Department; and Gregory Watkins, recently-retired deputy chief in Kansas City, Mo., were chosen from five candidates invited to meet with City Council members as well as a committee ofrepresentatives in law enforcement and businesses, community groups and educators. “I feel each finalist has a unique combination of leadership skills, experience and strengths in various areas that leads me to consider each of them further,” Connor said. Using visits to home jurisdictions, interviews, committee advice and public response, she intends to make her decision by the end of the month. Theresa Chambers left the position in early February after four years to become the first female chief of the U.S. Park Police for the National Park Ser-

vice. The Durham chief oversees 578 employees—476 sworn and 102 civilian—and currently administers an operating budget ofabout $34 million. In a public forum July 15, Durham residents said they are looking for a police chief who will take on drugs, gangs, youth violence and deviant officers. Chalmers, whom several City Council members publicly support, was among the top officers on Chambers’ staff and Chambers herself chose him as an interim replacement. During her time in the position, the reported crime rate in Durham dropped nearly 20 percent, although crime remains a top concern among the public. Durham has averaged around 30 murders each of the last several years. Best, a Chalmers’ supporter, noted the interim chiefs role in the positive changes in recent years and believes he will continue the work Chambers began. He also stresses that choosing a local candidate sends a strong message to all levels ofthe Durham police force. “When [lower-ranking officers] see someone like Chalmers, who has been with the department for 27 years and risen through the ranks, it shows them hard work does pay off and motivates them to follow in his footsteps,” Best said. The committee that has been interviewing the finalists, however; recommended hiring Watkins. Watkins stresses his experience in a larger city, especially his success in integrating the police department and the community. He said at the forum that he would retain community relations as a top priority in Durham. Tve been accused of being naive be-

proach to community policing, we can not go wrong.” Watkins was with the Kansas City Police Department for almost 30 years before he retired, managing 925 personnel and overseeing a $145 million budget in his final position as deputy chief. When questioned at the forum about how he would deal with an officer using excessive force, Watkins did not hesitate to respond forcefully. “Excessive force is not and will not be tolerated under me,” he said. “It tarnishes all our badges and sets us back years.”

•HANDMADE

Chalmers and Carcara agreed, as many residents expressed concern about police abuse nationwide. Laying out a philosophy of “legal, ethical and moral” policing, Carcara said he has put officers under his watch in jail for abusing their power. Under Durham’s tightening budget, however, many citizens at the forum were concerned with the feasibility of some proposals. In Jefferson County, about $lO million of Carcara’s $52 million budget came from grants. Both he and Watkins agreed that secondary money is incredibly important to the strength of any department with budget restraints.

Moody’s Local 77, University ink agreement Ups Duke’s bond rating By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

By signifying the University’s strong record on paying back debt, the rating will allow Duke to borrow at lower costs. By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Moody’s Investors Service upgraded Duke’s revenue bonds rating from an outlook of stable to positive earlier this month, translating into lower costs for the University to borrow money. Tori Nevois, assistant vice president and deputy treasurer, said the July 9 report, which gave Duke a rating of Aal, was the first time Duke’s rating has been upgraded since it first began issuing debt. Universities often issue debt to raise funds for buildings or renovations. Nevois gave several reasons for the upgrade, including positive operating margins, active management of Duke’s debt portfolio, improvement in the Duke University Health System’s finances and Executive Vice President Tallman Trask’s fiscal discipline. “It shows confidence that the rating agencies have confidence in the outlook for Duke,” she said. “Raising from a stable to positive outlook is a big step.” The University’s Series 2002A bonds See BOND RATING on page 18

Just hours before the previous contract expired, members of Local 77 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees ratified a three-year contract with the University June 30. The new contract provides for wage increases totaling 6.25 percent over the next three years and sets standards for employee attendance, shift preference and

disciplinary suspensions. Local 77, which includes about 950 service employees in housekeeping, campus dining, grounds keeping and animal care, agreed to wage increases of 2 percent for the first two years and 2.25 percent for the third. Several employees, who declined to give their names, expressed concern that the new wage increases are lower than those negotiated in the last contract, which hiked wages three percent annually. Paul Grantham, director of communications for Human Resources, said the wage increase was part of a total compensation increase, which also factors benefits into the overall equation. Grantham did not sit in on the negotiating sessions. “There were proposals with different wage increases and benefits packages,” Grantham said. “You don’t necessarily come out with what you expected, but hopefully you went in there, you put your stamp on it, you shook hands and you’re satisfied with what you got.” Michael Gibson, the union’s principal negotiator and official spokesperson, declined to comment on either the negotiations or the new contract. He also declined to give the names of other Local 77 negotiators. A number of employees said they did not know any of the details of the agreement. West Campus housekeeper Thomas Boyd was unaware that the previous contract had even expired.

Alcohol, fraternity events fall � Statistics showed that student group events were up overall last year, but alcohol-based and commons rooms events fell sharply. By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Rumors of a declining on-campus party scene were confirmed this sum-

mer with the release of registered events statistics by the Event Advising Center. The figures—which indicate a massive decline in alcohol- and selective living group-based parties, but an up-

swing in cultural events and events overall—have drawn mixed reaction from University officials and student

leaders. “The fact that the numbers are increasing is certainly a positive sign that there are more activities for students to engage in,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta, “but more and more of the alcohol-related partying is going off campus and we need to think about student safety.” Registered events were up 89 to 635 over 2000-01, while bring-your-own-beer events—which most fraternity parties are classified as—were down 32, keg events were down 10 and commons room events were down by 51. “The Greek-dominated social scene is changing,” said Union President and senior Jesse Panuccio. “We’re sort of in the middle of a transition period on campus... to more things to do in the student village.” , Intrafraternity Council President Jeremy Morgan, a senior, said the statistics mostly reflect that, in the face of tighter alcohol restrictions for commons See STUDENT EVENTS on page 18

Catholic Center finds new home off East Campus By KEVIN LEES

Parapsychology, named after parapsychology expert J.B. Rhine, when the institute opened its new headquarters on Campus Walk Avenue this spring. Duke has long since distanced itself from the institute, which saw its peak in the 19605. “There’s a slight possibility that it may fall through, but we’re certainly under the impression that we’re going to close on it,” said Diocese Chancellor Russ Elmayan, Fuqua ’79. Previously, University officials had considered using the space for sorority offices and storage, which will now be housed in Trent Drive Hall (See story on page 12). Elmayan added that the diocese has a long-standing relationship with the Duke Catholic community. For example, the diocese provides housing and a subsidy for Vetter. Elmayan said that of all the campuses for which the diocese provides outreach assistance, Duke has the largest number of Catholic students. About 20 percent of Duke’s undergraduate student population is Catholic, and the diocese provides the Newman Center with about a quarter of its funds.

The Chronicle

A small office on North Buchanan Street, formerly the home of an institute for extrasensory perception, will soon welcome Duke’s Catholics as a new community center. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh has offered the University $385,000 to purchase a house at 402 N. Buchanan Blvd., on the corner ofTrinity Drive. Duke’s Newman Catholic Student Center will use the space for special gatherings, cooking meals and other worship-related events. Father Joe Vetter said the process to obtain more space has taken three years. “We need some extra space for a chapel where Catholic students can pray or a place where Catholic students can cook a meal, have fellowship or someROBERT TAI/THE CHRONICLE thing like that,” he said.

Indeed, of the $2.1 million of the diocese’s $3O million capital campaign earmarked for campus development, $500,000 is set aside for Duke. “Ideally, Father Vetter would like to build some Catholic student center that would be perfectly fitted for the needs of that ministry,” Elmayan said. “We have the example of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life. That may be something that would be a long-term objective. Before he goes down that road, this will be an interesting test case for him.”

Perkins installs new locks, lighting after near-attack By ABBY PRINGLE The Chronicle

Students fearing the stacks of Perkins Library can study more easily, thanks to $27,000 in new safety changes implemented at the end of spring semester. Spurred by an attempted attack in a single bathroom in February, library officials used recommendations from a Duke University Police Department survey to determine what changes to make. Perkins has installed locks on the outer doors of all single bathrooms, hardwired the lights in larger bathrooms so they cannot be turned off, installed halfdome mirrors in elevators and in stairwells with blind corners, repaired outside lighting, trimmed shrubs and trees around the building and installed phones on each floor of the stacks. Ashley Jackson, head of library access at Perkins, stressed the importance of students being aware of their surroundings. “It is very important that students take advantage of these changes, especially using locks on the single bathrooms,” he said.

PHOTOS BY JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

(clockwise from top left) NEW LIGHTING in the Perkins Library stairwell helps users be aware of their surroundings; LOCKS have been added to singles bathrooms: MIRRORS allow library users to see around corners; and BUSHES AND SHRUBBERY have been cut back outside the library to protect those walking by. Library officials hope that, all together, the added security measures will prevent further incidents such as the one last February.

Last Feburary, an attacker reportedly entered an unlocked third-floor library bathroom, turned off the lights and attempted to restrain a female student who was then able to fend him off. Signs have been placed on single bathroom doors reminding students to lock the doors behind them. Some students said they were not aware of the new changes. “The stacks can be a little creepy, es-

pecially the small study rooms,” said junior Anna Froneberger. “It would have been nice to know [about safety

changes] But the additions have not gone unnoticed by all. A note received in the library suggestion box reads, “Thank you for putting a lock on the fourth floor women’s bathroom; it is much appreciated by those of us up there working when no one’s around.” Rebecca Gomez, head of the interlibrary loan department, said that she also felt safe at her job, but offered a suggestion for future changes to ensure employee safety in particular. “Often when we come in through the back door on weekends or at night there are no lights on,” she said. She also noted that she has to walk far to and from her

car, which can be intimidating after dark. Jackson said there have been no serious incidents in the library or its branches. He added, however, that there have been minor thefts, reports of suspicious characters and people exposing themselves in the stacks. Similar changes are beginning to be implemented in the branch libraries on a smaller scale. Although no future changes are scheduled in Perkins, Jackson said security concerns would be considered as Perkins gears up for major renovations next year. “The new areas will be more open and visible and allow more space for older sections,” he said. “Also, the lights will be centrally controlled in all public areas.”

GPSC plans undergraduate mentoring program By KIRA ROSOFF Th,e Chronicle

Designed to build a link between the undergraduate, graduate and faculty populations, and construct a medium for exchange of information between the groups, a proposed residential cluster mentoring program will begin this fall. The graduate student organizers ofthe mentoring program will be working with administrators in the Office of Residential Life over the summer and throughout the fall semester to integrate graduate and professional students into the programming in each ofthe six quads on Main West Campus.

Summer in Durham and N.C. US Airways assumes Midway operations Midway Airlines Corp., which filed for bankruptcy last year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has signed a letter of intent to become a part of US Airways. One of Raleigh-Durham International Airport’s largest carriers, Midway will operate as part of US Airways Express, flying a fleet of regional jets beginning in October to Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. Midway said that it will eliminate the rest ofits fleet of six Boeing 737 aircraft, and lay off 400 workers. The airline suspended flights last week to prepare for the transition, and many passengers complained about having to fly standby on US Air. Robert Ferguson, Midway’s chief executive officer, said he hoped to eventually rehire at least two-thirds of the Midway employees being laid off. Midway had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2001 citing a drop in number of passengers. At the time, the Morrisville-based carrier listed assets of $3lB million and debts of $232 million. Midway continued flying on a reduced schedule but stopped operations altogether after Sept. 11. It resumed flying Dec. 19 after receiving a $12.5 million grant from the federal airline bailout program.

Primaries set for Sept. 10 North Carolina’s primary elections; already delayed two months due to fights over new maps of state House and Senate districts, will be held Sept. 10 under legislation approved last week. The compressed election schedule is the result of a protracted lawsuit brought by Republicans, who successfully challenged new legislative districts drawn by Democrats. Primary elections scheduled for May 7 were indefinitely delayed after first a lower court judge, then the state Supreme Court, ruled that state House and Senate districts were unconstitutional. The State Board of Elections chose to delay all voting, including primaries in the critical U.S. Senate race to succeed Jesse Helms, in order to spare local election districts the expense and trouble of holding voting on multiple days. The legislation would allow the top vote-getter in all races to win the party’s nomination regardless of the margin. Ordinarily, a candidate has to win 40 percent plus one vote to avoid a runoff. The compressed schedule is also causing havoc among General Assembly candidates, who must file again with the Board of Elections because of redistricting.

Lottery vote may come soon State House Speaker Jim Black said last week that a vote on a lottery referendum bill will be held before the General Assembly adjourns for the year, after he skipped a vote on the issue for the fourth time. See N.C. NEWS on page 25

Med school glitch affects applicants By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Between the evening of March 13 and the morning of March 14, eight Duke University Medical School applicants received the news they had been waiting for—they had been accepted. The only problem was, they hadn’t. A computer error mislabeled the admissions status of eight applicants for a period of less than 24 hours, falsely notifying them that they had been accepted to the fifth-ranked medical school. The school returned their status to pending when it caught the mistake the next morning.

Lahiji said she too called the office the next morning, but not because she was waiting for an official letter, which she said she never knew was the school’s only form of official notification. Lahiji has since called and written the school numerous times requesting informationand a re-review ofher application “It’s been an emotional roller-coaster,” she said. “What they did was wrong.

Armstrong consideration at two of the other medical said this disclaimer had always been

According to his e-mail to her, he reviewed the case and stood by Duke’s decision. “While you were incorrectly informed of an ‘accept’ status at Duke on its website, you were also informed that this notification was erroneous as soon as possible after the error was

found,” Sabalis wrote. “Duke has apologized for this error and provided a second review of your application by personnel who were unaware of the controversy surrounding your situation. It appears that neither the first nor second review of your application has resulted in a favorable decision by the Duke Admissions Committee.” Lahiji, who has been accepted to several other medical programs and is currently planning to attend the Universi-

ty of California at Santa Barbara Medical School, said she still wants Duke to consider her as an applicant. “As much as this incident hurt me, I feel like what Duke did does not invalidate their academic reputation,” Lahiji said. “It’s always been a dream school to me.”

Students get taste of administrator life By NADINE OOSMANALLY The Chronicle

For students still deciding what they want to do with their lives, the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators hosted the Minority Undergraduate Fellows Program at Duke this month to introduce minority students to careers in student affairs. Thirty-one students from 25 schools across the nation participated in the three-day summer leadership institute. “It is designed for careers in higher education to get [students] thinking about graduate schools and to know that student affairs is an option,” said Andrea Caldwell, assistant dean of students. Duke was chosen to host the annual Summer Leadership Program over another 100 other institutions that volunteered. In response to the lack of minorities in student affairs positions, former NASPA president Doug Woodward founded MUFP in 1989 to encourage minority students to become involved in student affairs and to continue in higher education. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta delivered a keynote speech to the group. “MUFP is a wonderful program which helps identify students of color who may be interested in serving college students through various campus roles,” Moneta wrote in an e-mail. “The program exposes the attendees to the complex and exciting roles of student affairs staff and helps them understand the opportunities we have

PARTICIPANTS in the Minority Undergraduate Fellows Program engage in a team-building exercise while learning about future careers in student affairs. to serve student needs and the paths one can follow to the various student

affairs careers.” The program allows students to learn about career opportunities and to develop problem-solving skills. Most of the activities centered on case studies, particularly examples from Duke. Fellows in the program also participate in a one- or two-year internship under the guidance of a mentor from their home institutions. They also have the opportunity to participate in an eight-week summer internship. “It’s a phenomenal program that has impacted numerous lives,” said Brian Hemphill, national coordinator

for MUFR “Working with students on college campuses and introducing students and getting them [into student affairs offices] engages a student affairs program.” The program also included disabled students, one of NASPA’s primary goals last year. The Department ofEducation recently awarded NASPA a grant to continue development of the program, enabling it to host a fall leadership institute at the

University of Hawaii. “We hope after the experience that

they are sold,” said Hemphill. “‘That’s what I want to do with my life’—that T want to work in student affairs.’”

New Panhel advisor plans to help unify greek life By NADINE OOSMANALLY The Chronicle Bringing administrative experience in working with greek organizations, as well as the experience of being in a sorority herself, Nicole Manley is the latest to join the University’s efforts to unify campus greek life. Manley arrived this summer as the new full-time coordinator of greek life and advisor for the

Panhellenic Council. In trying to define a position that has never existed before, and in an office that is also new—the Office of Nicole Manley Fraternity and Sorority Life—she said her most important priority is connecting groups with each other and with the administration. “Students have great ideas, but they may not have

the means and need help to get them implemented,” Manley said. “It is very easy for me to take a role where I can partner with them.” After completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia and her graduate degree at Colorado State University, Manley worked in student affairs at Colorado State to establish what she called a well-defined relationship with greek organizations. In the past, some greek organization leaders have expressed concern that administrators offered only short-term solutions. As a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, she said she has experienced the difficulties that sororities face operating independently. Manley was also vice president of Virginia’s Panhellenic council, where she worked closely with the judicial board. She intends to do the same at Duke in order to better deal with disciplinary problems in the long-term. One of the goals of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is an increased emphasis on strengthen-

ing relations across racial and ethnic barriers. For example, the office will advise both the largely white Interfraternity Council and the traditionally minority National Panhellenic Council. “We want to promote ongoing contact and coordination between the fraternities and sororities and the umbrella groups.... to create a thriving greek system,” said Sue Wasiolek, dean of students and assistant vice

president for student affairs. Manley said that improvements to community service and leadership development—including the possibility of a retreat for the officers of all of the sororities—are immediate goals for the council. The University has also agreed to host an institute in the fall for leadership development in an attempt to allow schools to discuss issues faced by sororities today. “Being part of a Greek organization is not the only thing students at Duke are involved in. It supplements extracurricular activities,” Manley said.

BOND RATING from page 7 went on sale July 10. Those bonds will provide Duke $l2l million in revenue for three specific projects—the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences on Science Drive, a 550-space parking deck near the Bryan Center and renovations to Kilgo Quadrangle, all of which began this summer. Moody’s also affirmed an Aal rating on Duke’s $293 million in outstanding debt. Although Nevois could not point to a specific number, she said the new rating would mean lower borrowing costs for the University, which is in the midst of

The Chronicle capital campaign-fueled construction. Moody’s defines the Aa rating as a high-grade bond. “[Aa-rated bonds! are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities 0r... there may be other elements present, which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than the Aaa securities,” Moody’s rating definition reads. Groups like Moody’s, such as Stan-

dard and Poor’s Corporation and Fitch Investors Service, L.P., assign lettergrade rankings to businesses, universities and even states and nations. Moody’s highest ranking is Aaa, followed by Aa, A and Baa. Junk bonds are ranked even

He added that the loss of Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities also had an impact on the numbers. “I definitely think the party scene is dying too quickly,” said senior Joshua Jean-Baptiste, Duke Student Government President. “Other alternatives aren’t being provided.... Even so, students are still going to fraternity parties and are still drinking. The question is, are they doing it safer now than they were doing it before or is it more reckless now?” Although, figures for emergency visits were lower by about 10 this year, Moneta still expressed concern, as any one of the 40 incidents could have ended tragically. Drunk driving was also a concern last year, and to keep pace with the changing scene, Moneta and JeanBaptiste—then DSG vice president for student affairs worked together to offer free weekend bus service into —

lower, Ba or B, and those that are ranked even lower—Caa, Ca and C—are considered highly speculative and substantially

risky investments. At each grade, Moody’s also provides a rating between a high of 1 and a low of 3, and an outlook of positive, stable or negative. Nevois said most university debt ranges from Aa3 to Aaa at the most stable schools, such as Harvard University and Yale University. “It puts us right below them,” said Vice President for Financial Services Michael Mandl. “Frankly, if you look at the set of Aaa universities, it’s a very small hand-

ful—Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford. We are literally, from a bond rating

standpoint, right on their heels. It’s extremely strong.” Endowment size and the consistent management of past debt are components of each school’s rating. Mandl said that in the last several years, Duke’s endowment has grown, the University has not taken on a lot of new debt and Duke’s asset growth was very strong. Duke first turned to bonds in 1976 to build Duke North Hospital. On the University side, the first debt issued was in 1987 and included funding for the R. David Thomas Center at the Fuqua School ofBusiness. Trask, who also serves as University Treasurer, was out of town

and could not be reached for comment.

“We need to ask if there is a point where the campus gets saturated to the point where its a disservice to students and to events,” said Sue Wasiolek, dean of students assistant vice president of student affairs. “The vast majority ofprograms are sponsored by [just] one organization.... We need to promote to our groups the notion of interdisciplinary organizational events.” Panuccio also wondered if programming had reached a critical mass, if different types of co-sponsored events should be explored and if students are taking advantage ofthe high level of activity. “I still hear students go out and say there’s nothing N to do on campus. Students need to get up and get out of their rooms,” he said. Panuccio said the Union and other student groups are moving toward smaller but more frequent programming, like bands in the Armadillo Grill and festivals on the quads, and need to further pursue events with academic connections. Event Advising Manager Rick Garcia said the 84 registered cultural events last year was a considerable increase, but he said numbers were not available for 2000-2001. Moneta pointed to the $lOO,OOO cultural fund, initiated this year, as the main explanation for the increase for cultural events and overall events. He said a similar amount of money will likewise be administered this year for cultural programming.

for all the programs the proposal requested. Forty-four universities received four-year grants, ranging from $1.2 to $2.2 million and totaling $BO million. Duke was one of only a handful of institutions to win all four grants that HHMI have offered—in 1990, 1994, 1998 and 2002, Nijhout said. The past three proposals, however, focused on neurobiology. Signaling the University’s growing interest in genomic research, the latest proposal focuses on bioinformatics and genomics. The University announced its $2OO million proposal for the Institute of Genome Sciences and Policy in fall 2000. Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson, who wrote the proposal, said Duke’s multidisciplinary approach in designing the genomics initiative—which spans across many schools and disciplines—made the University an ideal candidate for the grant. “Duke is unique in that we have committed to engaging in ethical and environmental conversations about the effects of genomic technology” he said. “We have students interested in public policy, the environment and biological sciences, and the grant is designed to provide avenues for students to pursue those interests in genomics.” Specifically, by fall 2003, there will be six new first-year seminars in genomics and bioinformatics, two new laboratory courses, four new upperlevel science, technology and society

MENTORING from page 11 tending graduate school,” Beck said. “These people are passionate about what they do and passionate about helping others discover their passions. 3ut we also want to foster knowledge [among undergraduates] about what the other half of the Duke population is doing.”

Beck added that for those who have already begun to work in fields such as law and medicine and work daily with younger people, the practice will be in-

valuable.

“The Howard Hughes Program is a fabulous thing,” Provost Peter Lange said. “It’s the best model of vertical integration in the strategic plan that we could have.” The latest grant will also create a fourth summer research program open to between 10 and 12 rising juniors and seniors each year. Previous HHMI grants have created three similar programs, including a pre-college program for local high school students, an eight-week research fellows program for rising Duke sophomores and a high school teachers’ program in lab instruction. “I think programs like these can be a life-changing experience for many of those involved,” said Deborah Wahl, associate director of undergraduate research for Trinity College, who has managed the HHMI grants since 1990. “Nationally, we hope it increases the numbers who not only go on in the sciences, but also make a larger population that is more scientifically literate.” Senior Rebecca Ahrens participated in a neurological pharmacology research fellows program two summers ago. She is currently applying to both medical schools and graduate programs and hopes to pursue more research. “[The program] exposes students to different resources than you normally experience in school,” Ahrens said. “It gives you an opportunity to do research without committing to do it for life.”

The mentoring program will be “two-pronged,” including one-on-one career counseling as well as an aspect of informal communication. The mentors will attend current programs

which are relevant to making career decisions so they can evaluate the interests and best advise students. “In the future, the residential cluster system could provide students with academic advising support, career advising and [help students] prepare for graduate exams,” Moneta said. “I only think of good things that could happen so there is no reason to put too many restrictions on it right away.”

Kilgo renovations blaze trail for future schedule When construction workers began the renovations of Kilgo Quadrangle this summer, they found evidence of just how truly antiquated the dorm was; Old cans, bottles and newspapers dating back to the 1920s when the school was built laid dormant in the walls. But no longer. Kilgo—the first quad to undergo renovations in the plan to modernize Main West Campus’ residence halls—will be

retooled with air conditioning, carpeting, solid ceilings, renovated bathrooms and reconfigured commons rooms. “It’s a pretty unbelievable scene—running air conditioning into an 80year-old building,” said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. The half ofKilgo that was renovated set the pace for future West Campus changes, with the project just two days behind schedule for its finishing date in August. The rest of the campus will likely receive a similar makeover in the next six years. The rest of Kilgo will be completed next summer. Administrators now know that they can complete the renovations solely within the summer and that the older dorms can indeed be air conditioned. Moneta added that the process will take longer than originally predicted, will be expensive and that, as renovations occur, administrators will try to make quads more accessible horizontally, not just vertically with staircases. The renovations are budgeted for $l7 million.

Brownstone, a selective living group, will occupy the renovated space, where Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and part of Maxwell House used to be, under the new residential plan. Brownstone member and senior Dave Bernstein said that while he doubts the renovations will affect the group’s rush significantly, some amenities, like air conditioning, may help Brownstone’s recruitment. “The move screwed over a lot of groups, but we got a pretty good deal,” Bernstein said. Besides air conditioning, one of the most noticeable differences will be smaller bathrooms. Each original bathroom was split into a male and a female bathroom, each serving 10 to 12 students. The renovated quad also will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as there will be a ramp leading to the front door, a small lift and three rooms for students with disabilities that include personal bathrooms. Each room’s ceiling, carpet, fights and in many cases, closets, were replaced. “We could not expand the hallways, but we created wide spaces where possible through alcoves where we needed to take out space, to create the idea of openness like on East,” said Judith White, director ofthe Residential Program Review. The first of the quad’s three commons rooms has been expanded and tailored with hard wood trimmings. Green tiles—each quad will have its own specific color—will line the interior wall facing JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE the front door entrance, to add a more (clockwise from top left) A HALLWAY, entrance, dorm room, facade, and commons room in kitchen aesthetic greeting. the renovated Kilgo Quadrangle.

Edens Quad

For more than two years, residents on the outskirts of Edens Quadrangle and Main West Campus have been greeted each morning with the unwelcome sound of jarring construction equipment and beeping trucks at the site of the new West-Edens Link. Now, $3B million, hundreds of thousands of manhours and countless unexpected wake-up calls later, the WEL finally is set to open its doors to its own residents. “It’s a beautiful, beautiful dorm,” said Duke Student Government President Joshua Jean-Baptiste. “It takes all the things that are ideal about East Campus and West Campus dorms and brings them together.” Administrators are equally satisfied with the final outcome, which—barring a hurricane—will be ready for the mid-August student move-in. “The project is finishing up just great,” said Judith White, assistant vice president and director of the Residential Program Review. “I think the WEL could soon become the dorm ofchoice on campus.” Not all aspects ofthe WEL will be ready by students’ move-in, however. Because of drought restrictions, none of the landscaping in the new quad will begin until at least September, and several floors in the McClendon Tower might not be completed until the end of fall semester because of architectural problems. The Chronicle toured the site July 12. Here are some highlights of what to expect in mid-August:

The University has contracted the owners ofRick’s Diner and Catering, a local establishment on University Drive, to run the new cafe and diner in the McClendon Tower of the West-Edens Link. The eateries are currently on schedule to open by the time students return in late August. “We looked at the package and felt like we had so many Duke students and faculty customers at our current location that it would be a really good opportunity for the University and for us,” said Rick Lynch, owner of the local diner. At least until fall break, the diner will remain open 24-hours and the coffee bar, the Blue Devil Beanery, will be open from 8 a.m. until midnight. “We asked about 10 vendors in the Durham area to participate in the bid process and basically everyone of them told us that there was no way they could operate 24-hours a day,” said Jim Wulforst, director of Duke Dining Services. “[Lynch] was the only one to say, ‘l’ll give it a stab, let me see.”’ In mid-October, Rick’s will reevaluate its hours for both establishments. The diner will determine the profitability of staying open at all hours, and the cafe will decide if it needs to stay open late at night with the diner open downstairs. “We’re doing it based upon information the UniverSee RICK’S on page 38

Black made the comment at the close of a week in which the legislation remained on the floor calendar but was never taken up. He cited a need to balance the state budget for next fiscal year without relying on lottery revenue. Gov. Mike Easley is pushing a lottery as away to avoid major cuts in social programs, particularly in his education initiatives. A vote on a bill allowing for a statewide lottery referendum in November was delayed last week after supporters were at least three votes shy of passage.

practices. Stephanie Sams, a manager at Blue Corn Cafe on Ninth Street, said Duke should be able to water when necessary. “This whole town is formed around the University,” Sams said. “They should definitely be careful and conserve as much as possible, but with the gardens... you can’t let something like that go down.” Westbrook agreed that the gardens factored into the city’s decision to allow the University to water outside the prescribed time frames. She added that Durham conservation mandates may change as the drought continues. Should the city enact the next stage of the Water Conservation Ordinance, businesses will have to reapply for water use licenses and reduce water usage even further. Kathi Beratan, a research scientist at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, stressed a need for those in charge of groundskeeping to connect with scientists at the Nicholas School and at the Pratt School of Engineering. “I don’t want to say they’re doing a bad job, but there isn’t a process out there that can’t be improved,” Beratan said. “It would be useful to make sure that practice connects with available science.”

‘Canes bring out hockey fandom For a few brief weeks in June, North Carolina took a break from a sweltering summer and all eyes fixed on the state’s first major ice hockey playoff run.

The Carolina Hurricanes played in their first Stanley Cup finals in franchise history, only to lose to the Detroit Red Wings in five games, including one of the longest games in playoff history. Tickets for home games at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Raleigh sold out on the Internet within minutes of going on sale, and retail sales for the team skyrocketed as the team advanced through the playoffs.

gible for city health and dental coverage. The council voted the proposal down 4-3 after finishing the budget process for the 2002-03 fiscal year. Mayor Bill Bell and council members, Howard Clement and Cora Cole-McFadden, supported the measure. John Best, a council member who opposed the measure, said he did not think most Durham residents approve of homosexual lifestyles. Two city employees had requested the benefit and the city budget and planning office recommended the coverage, on the basis ofthe city’s non-sexual discrimination policy.

treatment to developing nations. About 41 million people worldwide are infected with HIV, and although only a few of them will ever have access to expensive drugs like T-20, Bartlett said that many researchers in Barcelona were optimistic about recent attempts to spread therapies. “There was a very strong emphasis on HIV in the global community,” Bartlett said. “For many people, an important access point to antiviral therapy may be through clinical trials.”

Helms has heart surgery, returns home U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms returned home last week for the first time since he had heart surgery almost three months ago.

Jimmy Broughton, a Helms spokesperson, said the

senator, 80, left a rehabilitation center in Raleigh last

Tuesday morning. Helms, R-N.C., had surgery April 25 to replace a worn-out pig,valve that was installed in his heart 10 years ago. The original pig valve was used to replace Helms’ mitral valve, which guards the opening between the upper and lower chambers ofthe heart. Helms was hospitalized until June 10, when he was moved to unidentified rehabilitation center in northern Virginia. On June 26, he moved to a rehab center in Raleigh.

City, County raise taxes, wages Durham residents will pay a slightly higher property tax next year, but city and county employees will still receive a raise, in the two Durham budgets approved last month. City Council members increased the property tax by just over 2 percent from 53.4 cents to 54.6 cents per $lOO of property value. Two years ago, the council approved a 1.5 percent tax hike for downtown revitalization, and last year, a 3.2 percent tax increase was set aside to pay debt on bonds approved in past referendums. Durham County Commissioners approved a $558.9 million budget for the 2003 fiscal year, which included a 3.3 percent hike in property taxes. The tax rate increase amounts to 2.4 cents more per $lOO of valuation, pushing the new tax rate to 75.3 cents. Commissioners said the increased tax revenue will pay for county capital improvement projects, such as new library branches, which voters approved in a referendum vote in November. Many of the county’s 1,900 employees will see a 5 percent raise as of January.

SUMMER NEWS Student Affairs administrators, RCs hired Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta filled numerous spots in the newly re-structured Division of Student Affairs. Zoila Airall, director ofinstitutional diversity at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, was named the new assistant vice president of campus life. Sheila Curran, currently at Brown University, will fill the yearlong vacancy of the Career Center’s directorship. Student Affairs also named

the University’s first residence coordinators —nine full-time positions created to serve a broad set of quad systembased duties.

Administrators named The Freeman Center for Jewish Life announced the hiring of Jonathan Ger-

stl, an experienced fundraiser, as its new executive director. Dr. Robert Cook-Deegan was selected as director of the Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy. Dr. Edward Halperin was named vice dean for education and academic affairs and vice dean for clinical affairs of the School of Medicine,

Student insurance rates increase Blue Cross Blue Shield will continue to provide health insurance for students next year, although premiums will increase by 11 percent and reimbursement rates will decrease by 10 percent.

Police begin radar patrols The Duke University Police Department instituted new patrols equipped with radar to catch speeders. Duke police began using radars to monitor speeding drivers across campus.

CAMPAIGN from page 1 “We are all quite pleased that Pratt and Law have achieved their campaign dollar goals, especially since both goals represent ambitious ‘stretches’ compared with where the schools were when the campaign began,” President Nan Keohane wrote in an e-mail. Keohane and Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donor relations for the Office ofUniversity Development, said that although both Law and Pratt reached their goals, they will always have unmet needs. “The campaign is not going to be successful until we’ve accomplished all that we set out to do,” Vaughn said. “Neither of those [schools’l buckets are full.” A significant portion of Pratt’s campaign will go toward the ongoing construction ofthe Center for In-

terdisciplinary Engineering Medicine and Applied Sciences—the $97 million engineering plaza on Science Drive. Faculty and student financial support and development are the key beneficiaries in Law. “It’s very exciting, but on the other hand, the law school has many needs not covered by our cam-

paign,” said School of Law Dean Katharine Bartlett. “We are out of space, and we are looking toward a pretty substantial project involving some additional space and some renovations of existing space.” The law school’s strategic plan also calls for a $3 million technology initiative and the funding of two $1 million endowed professorships. “I’ve been involved with the campaign since September 1, 1996,” said Robert “Judge” Carr, associate dean and director of development for Pratt. “We set this line in the sand, I wanted us to get there and I wanted us to be first.”

Along with Pratt’s CIEMAS, which Carr said will still need more financial support, the school hopes to raise its percentage of endowed chairs from 19 to 25 and provide for more scholarship support for undergraduates and fellowship support for graduate students. When The Campaign for Duke officially began in 1998, administrators set an initial goal of $1.5 billion by the end of 2003. With the strong economy and early success of the campaign, the goal was increased to $2 billion in 2000. In that dramatic change, Law’s goal was increased from $5O million to $55 million and Pratt’s jumped from $5O million to $l7O million. The overall campaign’s $2 billion mark is also in striking distance by the end ofthis year. Vaughn pointed out, however, that the remaining $155 million is still a large sum that cannot be treated lightly. He added that even with the slumping economy and corporate mistrust, donations have remained steady.

much as brick, is used sparingly on the dorm in favor of a mix of terra-cotta brick and a deep dark brown brick. White said the dark brick was necessary to break up the otherwise overwhelming terra-cotta brick. Jean-Baptiste dryly called the brick design “different.” The same dark brick lines all of the walls of the interior hallways, and the dark colors are mirrored with a deep dark wood and brown-painted cement on walls and ceilings. There are aesthetic highlights, however. The exterior structure features towers, archways, bridges, staircases, unique building angles and scattered bay windows. Commons rooms and seminar rooms have never looked as nice, and almost every room makes excellent use of natural lighting. Even the bathrooms are an improvement over those in other dorms, with a white and Duke

Blue tile pattern.

Two Quads, No Green Out on the quads, however, the sight is not as attractive and might not be for several months. The city asked the University to not plant trees or shrubs or even lay sod until water levels are higher. The result is that although the dorms themselves will be completed, the overall site will still look like an uninhabitable work-in-progress, with dirt everywhere in sight. The delay in landscaping made a planned late-August concert on the WEL quad to kick off the year an impossibility. Panuccio said that once the greenery is planted, the main quad will make for an incredible venue for concerts, games of ultimate frisbee or lounging in the sun with a book. Maybe, even, a nice place to take a much-needed nap.

A Snapshot of Duke University Press in 2002 Duke University Press publishes about 100 books per year and 32 journals. This places the Press’s books publishing program among the twenty largest at American university presses and the journals publishing program among the five largest. The relative magnitude of the journals program within the Press is unique among American university presses: no other publisher of more than 15 journals also publishes fewer than 175 books per year. The Press publishes primarily in the humanities and social sciences and issues a few publications for primarily professional audiences (e.g., in law and medicine). It is best known for its publications in the broad interdisciplinary area of theory and history of cultural production, and it is known in general as a publisher willing to take chances with nontraditional and interdisciplinary publications, both books and journals.

be located behind the cafe. Seating will accommodate about 25 inside, and during warm weather, the same number outside on the House D walkway. Downstairs in the diner on floor zero, Rick’s will offer 24-hour breakfast, sandwiches, salads, milkshakes and daily Blue Plate specials. Lynch said that at his Durham location, the menu offers about 15 southern-style dishes, which in the WEL will be rotated in and out on a daily basis.

Wulforst described the space as “small and eclectic with neat boothing” which seats about 60. There will be no wait staff—customers will order at the counter and their name or number will be called when their food is ready, similar to the system used at the Loop. Alcohol will be served as soon as the necessary permits are obtained. The diner opens out onto a patio where outdoor seating will be provided, and customers can also bring their food upstairs to level 1, which partially overlooks the diner below. Together, there will be a 25 person staff per 24 hours, and students will have opportunities to work in both locations. Like all new Duke establishments, Rick’s has signed a one-year contract that can be extended three years in the spring. The Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee officials welcomed

the decision. “We’ll be interested with working them throughout this upcoming year so that they provide what the students want,” said DUSDAC co-chair Isaac Dolgovskij.

-307 spaces—as the abandoned lot near East Campus. Buses will run from the lots to West Campus. A parking permit for the lots will cost $lO. Reeve also announced the addition of a new bus route for the fall, set to run to the Belmont and Duke Manor. Buses will run on weekdays from West Campus through Central Campus to the apartments. Th© buses will run every 10 minutes from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and every 20 minutes from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Junior JennaVanliere said she was considering moving to the Belmont next spring and the prospect of the service eased her fears about commuting back and forth to campus. “My boyfriend lived in the Belmont last year and I know having a bus would have made his life easier on several occasions,” she said.

In addition, the online enrollment window for park-' ing permits will be pushed back to extend from July 22 to Aug. 15. “One of the things I want to stress to students is to rely on the website,” Reeve said. ‘We’ve totally revamped it.” Students and employees can log on at

http://transportation.duke.edu to access information about important changes in this year’s resident and off-

campus parking plans. In a change of policy, off-campus students will be eligible to apply after Aug. 15 for a waitlist spot from which any surplus spot in the Blue Zone will be assigned. “After we satisfy resident student demand, we will conduct space counts and open any remaining spaces to non-resident students,” Reeve said. Also new this fall will be a carpool permit option, where a group of three or more students can purchase a joint pass for one car at price of $36 per person. In addition, each member of the carpool will receive 12 freedaily permits, should the need arise for one member to park another car somewhere on campus.

Campus moves toward encrypted e-mail

What’s next?

Duke policy now requires that all e-mail processed via acpub accounts use encryption technology. The new policy does not affect Lotus Notes e-mail or departmental e-mail systems (for example, phy.duke.edu, ee.duke. edu, math.duke.edu, and others). However, most Duke students, and many faculty and staff, use the e-mail system provided with acpub accounts; these e-mail users are most affected by the new policy, if you’re one of these users, you may need to change some settings (see below).

working

or studying on a college campus, you might want to reconsider. In locations throughout campus you can check and send e-mail, consult the Web, and more. Wireless access takes relatively little equipment

and is available on campus—including the interiors of most buildings and many outdoor areas such as the Chapel quad and, of course, K-ville. If you’re concerned about cost, there’s some good news there as well; the cost of wireless networking is dropping. What is wireless networking and how do I get it?

A wireless network operates via access points that convert “wired” Ethernet signals to radio waves. Duke currently has more than 150 access points available from 40 locations around campus; more are on the way (see www. oit.duke.edu/access/wireless/index. html#accesspoints). Many ofthe larger departments and schools at Duke, such as Fuqua and Pratt Engineering, have their own access points; see their Web sites for further details about locations. The OIT Wireless FAQ is at www.oit.duke.edu/access/ wireless/ To get wireless networking, you first have to acquire and install a wireless adapter card in your laptop or PDA (personal digital assistant—for example, a Palm Pilot, a Handspring Visor, an iPAQ handheld, or a TransNote portfolio computer). The Duke Computer Store sells a variety of wireless cards. In the past, prices for the cards were fairly steep, but Jim Rigney, General Manager of Computers and Office Technology for Duke Stores Operations, reports that prices for networking cards are falling. Currently prices start at about $129, but that figure should continue to shrink.

If you bought your computer recently, it may have a built-in wireless adapter. All laptops purchased through the Duke Technology Advantage Program (see www.oit.duke.edu/

oit/standards/student_recs/tap.html). are equipped with wireless cards. The next step is to register your card with OIT, whether it’s a separate

In the coming months, the wireless network should see a dramatic increase in coverage. Authentication will soon be automatic, removing the need for you to e-mail your hardware address. As always, OIT appreciates your comments and suggestions. Please send these to staff@netcom. duke.edu.

AFS: free file sharing, free data storage, and free backups The Andrew File System utility (AFS) for Windows and Macintosh computers is free to students, faculty, and staff. AFS lets personal computers that are connected to DukeNet store data and files on an OIT server. The stored informaion can then be shared or retrieved from another computer connected to DukeNet. Disk space is allocated at 70 MB for both student and faculty and 10 MB for staff. The system should limit the need for portable media (floppy disks, Zip disks, etc.).

AFS can be used anywhere access to the Duke network is available, for example, computer labs, dorm rooms, or classrooms. And because AFS transactions are authenticated at the user level, you can also connect from off campus through an Internet Service Provider (dial-up, DSL, or cable connection).

The AFS utility also allows directory access permissions to be assigned, letting you share specific information with other AFS users that you designate. For example, you can share information between classmates, groups, and organizations of which you are a member. Data sent across the network with APS is encrypted, and the APS file system is backed up nightly. In the event of a hardware failure, OIT staff can recover your lost data from backup tapes. The only requirements for using the system are a Duke NetlD and the APS utility.

Secure e-mail, through encryption technology, decreases the chance that someone else can read your e-mail. It also protects your password. Since the NetlD is the authentication mechanism for many computing services (see www.oit.duke.edu/helpdesk/ netid), someone able to read an

unencrytped e-mail password could access those services posing as the owner of the NetlD.

Most of the e-mail clients used to access acpub mail already support encryption. Compliance with the new policy for students, faculty, and staff will be a matter of changing settings on their e-mail programs. For incoming freshman, setting up encrypted e-mail will add just a few steps to the process of establishing e-mail access. Common e-mail clients used at Duke that support encryption are Mulberry, Outlook and Outlook Express, Entourage, Eudora, Netscape Mail, and Pine. Webmail (www.mail.duke.edu), an Internet browser e-mail client, is already configured with encryption The only known e-mail client used by some members of the Duke community that does not support encryption is Simeon. Simeon is no longer sold or supported by the vendor. After July 15, users of Simeon must switch to another e-mail client to access acpub mail. You can learn how to configure your e-mail client for a secure connection by following the instructions at www. oit .duke. edu/helpdesk/ email.

MONETA from page 1 ability to combine the goals of Student Affairs with

those of academia.

“[He’s brought] a willingness to ask, ‘Why do we do it that way? Couldn’t we think about doing it better by using another approach?’ to some of the things we just do as a matter of habit, without thinking,” President Nan Keohane wrote in an e-mail. Moneta served this year on Keohane’s senior officers council, a group usually reserved for the most veteran and highest-ranking administrators. Lange said Moneta’s fresh voice demonstrated how student issues impact almost all campus-wide initiatives, and that in his first year on the council, Moneta earned his stripes. Perhaps the most evident example of, Moneta’s innovative thinking was his restructuring ofStudent Affairs. The massive overhaul included the creation of an office for greek life, the dismantling of the Office of

Student Development and the consolidation of all residential life and housing services. “When I heard that OSD was going to be split in half, I thought, whoa, the people I thought I was going to be working with I’m not going to be working with anymore,” said Assistant Dean of Students Andrea Caldwell, who like Moneta arrived at Duke just last year. Despite the shake-up, colleagues have dubbed the system more efficient, more user-friendly and more responsive to student needs. They said the system has also fostered healthy, although sometimes opposing opinions on key issues. “Whether it’s with a student or another administrator, he can always agree to disagree,” noted Todd Adams, assistant dean ofstudents and director of greek life. Beyond internal workings, Moneta also spent the year preparing the campus for the massive changes to the residential system planned for the upcoming year, including all sophomores on West, an independent corridor and of course, the new West-Edens Link.

marginalized.” Moneta countered the complaints by saying that the residential system is no longer “a game ofreal estate” and although selectives have a place on campus, he has challenged them to do some self-reflection about why they exist. To compound matters, the new housing lottery system allowed rising sophomores to choose singles on West, upsetting many seniors who were closed out of the process and had to settle for a single in Trent Drive Hall or a double on West. “It upset a lot of people, but that was not his fault

For a system that he mostly inherited from his predecessor, Janet Dickerson, and that was handed down from above by the Board of Trustees, administrative colleagues said Moneta has prepared the campus well. Students, however, have not held some ofMoneta’s decisions in such high regard. In creating the independent corridor, every selective group was allowed to give preferences for housing relocation. However, the rankings were barely considered and while 11 groups received their first choice, 11 others did not receive any of their top three choices, prompting DSG to pass a resolution rebuking the process. “The reallocation of housing space to a certain degree was a mishap,” Jean-Baptiste said. “It wasn’t an all-out outcry, but I feel as if some people got

Students need solid math skills in the information age. Low income students who take algebra and geometry attend college at three times the rate of those who do not. Math teaches students ways of thinking that apply in every workplace. Math tutors are great role models. Local schools need math tutors It’s fun!

iors who have never lived on West Campus will have that opportunity. For other controversial decisions—the ban of smoking in dorms, for example—Union President and senior Jesse Panuccio said students must take the initiative to voice their opinions on issues. “If you don’t want a smoking ban, go talk to him about it; he’ll be glad to discuss something with you,” he said. Indeed, students voted on a referendum in DSG’s executive elections, and almost 58 percent voted to uphold a smoking ban—a ban supported by Campus Council but opposed by DSG. Nurkin said he thought the power struggle among student groups caught Moneta most off-guard. “I don’t think he expected that Duke student groups have not always been cooperative,” Nurkin said. “He is a cooperative sort of guy and wants groups to have a shared vision.” Student organizations and the administration also could not agree on a restructuring of the funding system for student groups. The funding restructuring is just one of many key initiatives now on tap for the upcoming year. At the top of his list is the implementation of the new residential quad system, but from there, Moneta hopes to focus his efforts on linking the Bryan Center, the West Union Building, the Flowers Building, Page Auditorium and several proposed new structures into a student village. The student social scene—much of which shifted off-campus last year—is another key area of concern. Administrators and student leaders also point to other issues, including campus climate, social space and greek life. Moneta said he also wants to work on graduate student issues like child care and social space, as well as continuing to bring intellectual life out of the classroom.

En-Titled to celebrate Thirty

years ago last month, President Richard Nixon, Law

’37, signed into law the legislation that jolted women’s athlet-

ics forward. Title IX forced schools to offer athletic opportunities to both genders, and the effects have been incredible. Five times as many female athletes participate in intercollegiate sports, and three million girls participate in sports at the high school level —10 times more than the 300,000 who were allowed to play in 1972. Furthermore, many have attributed other positive developments, such as a greater balance in the ratio of men and women in college, to the gender integration the law has demanded. The anniversary allows colleges to realize how Title EX has been crucial to fostering a more welcoming environment for women throughout the past three decades by creating more welcoming environments for women in the past three decades. But the the landmark statute remains virtually unchanged and it has not adjusted to fit into the world it has so beneficially transformed. Title IX has unintendedly been a factor in cutbacks to men’s sports nationwide, including wrestling, baseball and even football, as schools have worked toward federal compliance, A measure designed to level the playing field is creating its own inequalities. Administrators at Duke and around the nation have made imprudent choices to create artificial parity. For instance, in 1998, the University promoted women’s rowing to a varsity sport for Title IX compliance, and the program now draws more money than any other non-revenue sport, even though it lacks the base of fails and attendance many other sports —men’s and women’s—enjoy. In the greatest inequality, the men’s team remains a club sport with a substantially smaller budget. With 85 possible scholarship spots and millions of dollars locked into the football program, other men’s sports start at an immediate disadvantage in the continuing quest to divide funds—and scholarships—evenly between male and female teams, and these levels still remain unequal. Everyone should applaud how Title IX continues to help women in opening locked doors, but this equality should be reached by augmenting opportunities for all—not the present zero-sum game. President George W. Bush has appropriately appointed a commission with qualified members from academia to revise Title IX, and they will hopefully determine whether male and female athletes are receiving equal treatment. The commission should also consider the feasibility of proposals that would better account for football and otherrevenue-generating sports, such as men’s basketball or ice hockey at some institutions. At the same time, significantly weakening or even repealing Title IX must not be the goal. In addition to protecting the gains' women’s athletics have made, the legislation continues to close gaps in coaches’ salary and other financial issues—at Duke, the average salary of a men’s sport coach is twice that of a women’s team coach. But the nation’s colleges would be well-served with a more flexible set of guidelines as collegiate athletics enters a new era.

Letters to

the editor

U.S. should lift embargo, respect Cuban autonomy Some recent letters have appeared in The Chronicle that criticize the editorial board’s support for ending the U.S. embargo against Cuba. These letters reflect how many in the United States do not understand our own government’s policies toward Cuba, nor do they understand what contemporary life is like on the island. In the June 27 issue, J. Edgar Williams wrote, “The U.S. embargo... has not affected Cuba’s ability to trade with the rest of the world.” To the contrary, the “Cuban Liberty and Solidarity Act,” the 1996 legislation that details the specific provisions ofthe U.S. embargo, penalizes all nations that trade with Cuba by disallowing ships to port in the United States for six months after they have visited any Cuban port. for referenced letter,

Additionally, the act allows the United States to enact economic sanctions against countries that trade with Cuba. Both of these policies starve the small island nation of billions of dollars in potential revenue. As we speak, President George' W. Bush pressures Mexican President Vicente Fox and other Latin American leaders to cut economic ties with Cuba in exchange for closer trade relations with the United States. I am disturbed by the dichotomist options that the current debate has left us with, forcing us to decide whether the United States should: a) maintain the embargo or b) lift the embargo and allow Cubans to experience the “wonders” of free market capitalism. Cuba needs neither.

Contrary to the dictates of our country’s power-bro-

kers, capitalism does not work for everyone. Cubans in Cuba have chosen a sociabst economy, and they should not be punished or patronized for that decision. Indeed, it is a tough lesson to learn that we in the United States do not know what is right for all the world’s inhabitants. I am not an apologist for the Cuban revolutionary government. I simply ask that we learn more about how things really work before judging a people and their right to self-determination. We can begin this process by respecting Cuba as an autonomous nation and lifting the unjust embargo. Jonathan Harris Trinity ’O2

If you believe that nuclear conflict is inevitable, chances are you envision something akin to the following scenario. Eventually, India’s government will feel intense public pressure to retaliate massively against incursions into Kashmir by Pakistani militants. Border skirmishes will thus escalate into a fullscale assault by the Indian army and air force on forward Pakistani positions. Because India’s military is far larger and conventionally superior, Pakistan will feel that it has no choice but to counterattack with a tactical nuclear strike. No country can accept such an attack without responding in kind, so

they both have nuclear weapons, India and Pakistan will never use them India will hit back with its own strategic weapons, and we get nuclear war. Many worry this will happen, but the plain truth is that it won’t. The above scenario is based on a number of assumptions, of which the absence of any one renders the whole story extremely implausible. To begin with, short of an offensive by a substantial portion of the entire Indian military, Pakistan’s own formidable forces on the Kashmir border will hold their positions in the event of attack. A full-scale invasion of Pakistan is not on the drawing boards in New Delhi, so there is no risk at present that Islamabad will feel threatened enough to press the big button. That’s not to say that the coming months won’t be bloody, but it is inconceivable that non-conventional weapons will be used. American influence and the U.S. presence in the region should also act to defuse tensions. For the last year, the Bush administration has used all its diplomatic might to persuade the two governments that war would serve neither side’s interests. The saber-rattling along the disputed border has certainly not helped Washington’s regional objectives, as Pakistan has withdrawn its forces away from the Afghan frontier where they had been seeking out Taliban fighters. Clearly, the United States has a vested interest in keeping the peace in South Asia, since war would make the difficult operations in Afghanistan an even thornier process. Although it would obviously stay neutral in any conflict, the close proximity of several carrier task forces to the subcontient helps project America’s resolve in a tangible way. But if India and Pakistan genuinely wanted a major war, the entire US. navy could not stop them. Thankfully, though, they don’t want the situation to escalate out of control, and under these circum-

stances, deterrence will take care of itself. On both sides, there is now the political will for a great deal of rhetorical posturing, sending in border reinforcements and recklessly conducting missile tests. And this is exactly as far as the two governments will go. Beyond the bellicose speeches, they are thinking peace. The rationale for this is simple. Given that all its strategic assets—air bases,

installations, command-and-control industrial centers—are threatened by the enemy’s missiles, neither side will ever take the first step towards all-out

nuclear war. You can’t have a fight if nobody throws the first punch, and in this case, no one will. Deterrence is effective if both sides are rational, and whatever one may think of their handling of the conflict, there is no denying that Prime Minister Atal Vajpayee and

President Pervez Musharraf are stable individuals who are not prepared to lead

their countries into an atomic cataclysm, They will continue to practice brinksmanship, but when the moment comes, they will blink rather than push forward, We should remember that deterrence is not always pretty. At times, it has looked like it might fail. Anyone who lived in New York or Moscow in 1962 knows this all too well. Still, it is a fact that there has never been a war—conventional or otherwise—between two nuclear states, and while India and Pakistan appear that they might be the first exception, there is reason for guarded optimism.

A nation with its eyes closed

I usually like anti-drug ads, The recent Bush administration spots blaming drug users for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, however, are irresponsible. Actually, they are more than that. They are absurd. The aforementioned anti-drug message goes as follows. The viewer is bombarded with a series of quick soundbites, each quote coming from a young w" teenager, probably a high schoolers, saying that “they just wanted to have fun;” that “I was only harming myself;” that Nick “I didn’t hurt anyone else.” Christie Juxtaposed with these meekly-stated testimonials are images of terrorist-inflicted damage The ad concludes by directly accusing young drug users of supporting terrorism, of being a key reason for the Sept. 11 tragedy. The sole purpose of my column is to demonstrate just how these television spots are not simply incorrect in their insinuations, but in fact, contain a message that is outrageous. More frightening, the presence of these anti-drug spots suggests that a majority of Americans hold an ignorant, eyes-closed view of narcotics and the “war on drugs.” The average youth, like those plastered on our TV sets and blamed for funding terrorists, do not consume pure product. Indeed, the don’t even consume too many ‘hard’ narcotics like heroin or coke, the drugs most rogue groups profit upon. Who does?. Our wealthy. So too do our athletes, musicians and politicians. 8

Our heroes. How many lines of coke do you think George W. Bush snorted. Just one? A little more? How about his Yale buddies? How about his early business colleagues? Blaming young kids’ smoking mostly pot or taking a hit of ectasy for anything, particularly funding terrorist operations, is an egregious assault on America’s youth.

In all actuality, one could write 15 columns on why this nation’s war on drugs, in addition to being ineffective, actually exacerbates our nation’s drugrelated problems. A kilo of 90 percent pure heroin—commonly called China White—sells for an estimated $200,000 in large East coast markets like New York and Washington D.C. After being cut down and impurified several times, that kilo will bring in a return of roughly $1,000,000.

How much does a kilo of China White cost to manufacture in the mountains of Myanmar, Columbia, Mexico and Afghanistan? Roughly $2,500. (These numbers were taken from the cover story in the June, 23 New York Times Magazine. I encourage this audience to go to your local libraries and read it). The U.S. government is solely responsible for creating this immense 4,000-fold profit. The efforts of the United States—and, to be fair, other Western nations —directly fund every cog in the immense chain of producers, traffickers and distributors. Every New York druglord, every Nigerian trafficking klan, and every sweat-labor utilizing producer in the mountains of some third-world country depends on the illegality oftheir product to turn a profit. Their existence could disappear. Where am I coming from? Let me tell you. I guarantee you that I hate narcotics far more than the average American, and probably a lot more than at least 95% of the people reading this. Know where I spent my New Year’s morning? In the Emergency Room at the UNC Medical Center. A close friend overdosed. At five in the morning I held her limp body in my arms as I made my way down the steps of balcony at the Chapel Hill nightclub where I worked. Out of the 150 people still partying—for the sixth straight hour— I was literally the only one sober. As I lay her on the hood of an outside car, she tried to sit up. She couldn’t.

She tried to speak. She managed only mumbles. Nevertheless, her Xed-out companions tried to get her in their car. I had to physically keep her in my possession to prevent her from being taken home to “sleep.” When the paramedics came, she was struggling to breathe. She stopped breathing while they pumped her stomach. I saw all this. If she went anywhere, or the ambulance was simply late, have. The war on drugs isn’t a war. It’s a massacre. Drugs

are everywhere. More black youths are in prison than in college because of them. The situation has deteriorated in recent years, and it is only getting worse. Almost all lethal overdoes occur for one of two reasons: A mixing of narcotics, or the consumption of impure product. I am up to my eyeballs in drugs. Included in my fist of friends are recreational ecstasy users, cocaine users, and even a few who prefer nitrous oxide. Who are these people? They are societies underworld, right? Pimps, prostitutes, club-going waitresses and bartenders. Wrong. They are bank managers. They are government workers. They are white-collar employees. Open your eyes America. Drugs are everywhere. They have been and will be always in our midst. The addictions and the deaths keep piling up. The solution may be radical, but it is no less critical to stemming drugs harmful effect on Americans—legalize the damn things; control their distribution; control their purity. Educate, truly educate our youth. Fewer kids will be in the ER coughing up black paste given to them so they can purge her weakened body.

Franks hopes $22 million facility will wow recruits By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle

Recruiting top-quality football players to join a team with a 23-game losing streak is never easy. But with the new Yoh Football Center nearing completion, coach Carl Franks hopes that task will become a little less onerous. “It makes an impact when a young man sees what kind of commitment the University has made toward his development as a football player,” Franks said. In this case, that commitment comes in the form of a four-floor, 70,000-squarefoot facility, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for which is scheduled for Aug. 30, the night before Duke’s home opener against East Carolina. The building is a $22 million gesture of support for a football program that badly needs victories. Franks said the center was designed to be state-of-the-art, and added that the architects had visited football powerhouses like Florida and Virginia Tech, taking notes on their facilities. “We don’t want to build it so that it will be obsolete in 10 years,” he said. There’s no doubt that the facility is, or will be, impressive. The building has wide staircases designed for the ascent of dozens offootball players at once. Then there are the oversize swivel chairs in the team meeting room—not to mention the dual projection screens and the partition that can be set up to turn the space into two separate meeting rooms, one for offense and one for defense. Duke football logos adorn everything from the carpets in the hallways to the spacious cherry lockers to the tiles around the SwimEx—a training facility equipped with underwater treadmills and jets of water for athletes to swim against. Perhaps most noteworthy is the speed and agility room, which includes a minia-

ture 40-yard field of artificial turf for

players to practice running patterns on without damaging the actual field. It will also serve as a practice area in case of inclement weather, an option the team had been lacking. But the third floor’s See YOH CENTER on page 22 Ms *■-

and-neck. But he’s really done a great, great job. But it’s been a gradual kind of thing.” By the end of the 19905, Duke was clearly the top team in the ACC and a perennial championship contender until its first win in 1999. Brooks said the most recent championship was the sweetest, however, for a number of reasons. In 1999, Duke led the entire tournament and won in the middle of the fourth day when rain ended the

tournament prematurely, with Arizona State catching up. “People put a star on it because of the rain delay,” said second-year Arizona coach Greg Allen. “Although they came back and hurt us this year, it was nice for Dan to win that

second title and people have no questions about how he won it.” In 2002, the Blue Devils trailed Arizona from day one through nearly the end of the last day. “I was on my way into the 18th green ready to pat everyone on the back for a great runner-up finish,” he said. “That’s how much I thought we might not pull it off.”

He noted, however, that the

chemistry was really good last year and that he did less coaching in the championship match than in any tournament the team had played in. Beth Bauer, who played at Duke from 1998 until 2000 when she went pro, said Brooks’ style See BROOKS on page 26

A place at the table After two Final Fours in last the

By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

Duke basketball currently rests in a state of flux: the balance of power between the men’s and women’s basketball programs has temporarily shifted. While the men must reload, the women reign supreme. And although both teams insist there is no competition between them, if men’s coach Mike Krzyzewski is not careful, Gail Goestenkors, his female counterpart, might begin to match some of his accomplishments. Simply put, next season’s women’s basketball team expects to be a dominant force in the college basketball landscape. Seven players, including its six largest contributors, return from last year’s eight-woman Final Four squad. Remaining are first team All-America Alana Beard, second team all-ACC forwards Iciss Tillis and Monique Currie as well as a host of talented reserves. If that were not enough, the Blue Devils boast the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class, a group that includes two 6-foot-3

centers, a lighting quick point guard and two dangerous swing players. This year’s team will be deeper, faster and more talented than any other team in the school’s history. Expectations are exceedingly high, although attitudes and aspirations are matter-of-fact. “Being ranked in the top three is a real honor,” says Tillis. “But, in the end, what we want to do is win the national championship, and I think we will.”

New team, new chemistry With its incredible stockpile of talent,

four seasons, the women’s basketball team wants a title

Duke’s biggest obstacle will be to reestablish the sensational chemistry of last year’s tightly-bonded group. After two December transfers, last season’s Blue Devils proceeded to win 28 of their next 29 contests. They swept the ACC with a 19-0 record and marched through the East Regional before losing to Oklahoma in the national semifinals. Goestenkors said that duplicating that team’s close-knit comraderie will be essential if this year’s squad plans to reach its lofty expectations. “I think team chemistry was definitely our greatest asset last year,” she said. “It is something that you can’t necessarily control, but the good thing is that the five

players coming in are all great people.” On some teams, an emotionally intimate core of seven returning players might be averse to immediately accepting five fresh faces. Goestenkors, though, feels confident in the ability of her returning women to embrace the Class of 2006. “They want to have good team chemistry because they understand how important it is,” she said. “I think they are very determined to make sure that they welcome the incoming freshmen.” Welcoming the freshmen is one thing. Leading them will be another. If the Blue Devils have a question mark, it is theirtremendous youth. Duke’s only two seniors are Sheana Mosch and Michelle Matyasovsky, two veterans who are talented, but who will find difficulty cracking the starting lineup. MAH KLI

A.C. installed in stadium, more improvements will likely follow By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

Aside from the small, close atmosphere and annoying fans, one of the staples of Cameron Indoor Stadium—the aspects the visiting teams really dread—was the heat. And, although ACC rivals can still look forward to the famous Cameron Crazies every time they visit the 9,314person arena they will no longer have to worry about its sweltering conditions. The project to add air conditioning to Cameron has been completed, but the University will not host an official event in the arena until the second annual All-Star Charity Game. However, coach Mike Krzyzewski said that the air conditioning had been particularly useful “keeping everyone fresh” during the hot summer days of basketball camp. The Hall of Earner also added that this was only one in a series of steps to improve the famous arena. He said that new windows, coming possibly as early as the beginning of school, and, by next year, a new concourse floor were also in the works. Finally, Krzyzewski said that he hopes to see a few additions to the Hall of Honors, most notably displays dedicated to Duke’s national players of the year. Both the men’s a women’s teams have “so many beautiful things, like Wooden awards and Naismith awards, but you can’t see them,” he said “It creates an atmosphere that’s conducive to excellence,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s kind of like when you have a beautiful home. Beautiful homes don’t have 35 knickknacks around, they have five, but they’re really good.”

deals with their respective teams after being back-toback picks in the NBA Draft June 26 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Williams was drafted No. 2 by the Chicago Bulls, while the Golden State Warriors used their third selection on Dunleavy. It was only the second time in history that two teammates have gone in the top-three picks in the draft. “To have that honor of two guys picked in the top three says a lot for Duke, Coach K and our program,” Dunleavy said. “I can tell you when we came in as freshmen to think in three years we would be here, I certainly didn’t envision it.” Bill Duffy, Williams’ agent, said that his deal was worth close to $lO million, Golden State would not discuss Dunleavy’s deal, only saying that it was in line with the rookie pay scale. Last season’s No. 3 pick, Memphis forward Pau Gasol, signed a contract worth $9.6 million over three season. Both players began their professional career this week playing in the NBA summer league. Williams is playing in Salt Lake City, while Dunleavy will go to Long Beach. Forward Carlos Boozer was also selected as the 35th pick in the draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, since the Juneau, Alaska native was not selected until the second round, he does not receive an automatic contract. He must try-out for and make the Cavalier team before sitting down at the bargaining table.

Sanders goes to court After being charged with assaulting a female, men’s basketball player Casey Sanders will have those charges dropped pending his compliance with a courtordered deferred prosecution agreement. Under the terms of the deal the Tampa, Fla., native must admit his guilt while staying clear of all offenses, save minor traffic violations, for the duration of the agreement. He must also remain in school or find full-time employment and refrain from harassing, threatening or assaulting the witness or the victim. Finally, Sanders must undergo a domestic vio-

lence, substance abuse and mental health evaluation by President Emeritus Keith Brodie, who is a member of the medical school staff, and comply with any treatment. Both Brodie and Sanders declined to comment on the issue.

Brushing up on Spanish Instead ofspending the summer months playing on various United States national teams throughout the world—the typical summer for college basketball stars—Chris Duhon and Daniel Ewing have been taking Spanish. Actually, the pair are taking intensive Spanish classes that, Duhon said, meet up to eight hours a day. At the end of the program, which is open to all students, two foreign language credits will be awarded to each student, leaving them only one semester the fall—to complete their requirements. “I’m kind ofscared,” said Duhon, who added that he went into the first day of class speaking no Spanish. “It’s going to be interesting. It’s a new program, and we’re kind oflike the test tube dummies.” The program will help ease the work load on the men’s basketball players, who under the new curriculum must take three foreign language credits. By taking two of the three credits in the summer and the one in the fall, the players can learn the language in a comprehensive manner, without having to struggle with it during the heart of the season, when they miss a great deal of classes. “It’s really the only way our guys can be treated fairly for language,” Krzyzewski said. “I think its a great thing for all students, but especially our guys.”

Unlike last year’s festivities, former Blue Devil stars are encouraged to invite NBA friends and teammates, who will make up the opposing team. The festivities will also include a roast of Krzyzewski, a charity auction and a golf outing. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Duke/Durham Neighborhood Partnership Initiative and the Emily Krzyzewski Family Life Center.

Trio of sophomores ready to step up for Duke By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Carl Franks has had his share of bad luck in his first three years coaching the football team. But the June announcement that senior starting quarterback D. Bryant will not be academically eligible to play football next year will loom large—whether it will be yet another setback or a turning point for the Franks era has yet to be decided. For the time being, the team hopes that the surprise turn of events will allow for a new leader to emerge from three sophomore quarterbacks and fresh energy to surface. “D. was a quarterback on the team that lost 23 straight games, so maybe we need a new leader,” Franks said. “I don’t think it’s going to be a major setback. We’re moving on. I think our team is excited about who’s going to be quarterback next year.” Moving on with Franks will be his three possible starting quarterbacks— California standout Adam Smith, New Jersey native Chris Wispelwey and Rutgers transfer Chris Dapolito, or any combination of the three. Franks hopes one may be able to claim starting honors next season, a year earlier than any had planned. Franks said he will take his time in deciding who will start for the team. “I’m going to make [the decision] when I think it’s the right time,” he said. “You can’t set a date. I’m going to wait to see how the competition goes. When I feel there’s someone who’s definitely the See NEW QB on page 24

0 years of Title IX there are more events in the men’s sport, there are more scholarship opportunities for women in track.” Others say that the University should sacrifice more from football and men’s basketball if it wants to create equality across other sports. “The response that a lot of people use is that instead of trying to cut the pie in a different way, expand the pie,” said women’s basketball coach Gail Goestenkors. “Have everybody tighten up just a little bit more. With football maybe you don’t stay in a hotel every night before a home game.” Perhaps no women’s sport at Duke has benefited as much from Title IX as women’s rowing. Duke added the program in 1999 to create greater parity, and the sport now ranks fourth in funds received, behind football and men’s and women’s basketball. Some have criticized the choice of upgrading rowing over, for example, softball, noting that the sport is traditionally one of the least ethnically diverse. The sport also draws complaints because the men’s team remains a club sport. While

the athletic department provides the women’s team with multiple scholarships and expensive boating equipment—totaling $124,519 in 2000-2001 the men’s team seeks funding from alumni and student activity fees. Robyn Homer, women’s rowing coach, said she would like to see the men’s team gain prominence, but not at the expense ofthe goal ofTitle DC. “No major change is gong to be easy. There’s going to be some bumps along the way, but at the core Title DC is a good thing,” Homer said. Despite the tilting of the playing field in favor of women in some cases, female athletics still face inequities on several levels. Coaching pay for men’s teams, for example, is nearing double what it is for —

women’s teams, although Alieva said the average is distorted by the two highest-paid coaches, football coach Carl Franks and men’s basketball coach

Mike Krzyzewski. Women also tend to draw smaller crowds than men, even to the point where the women’s basketball team departed for last year’s Final Four with only a handful

of well-wishers. Athletic officials note that

many fans find women’s sports simply less interesting, but some athletes think it just takes time. “Our crowds aren’t all that big, but I think they’re growing,” said junior Meghan Brown, a member ofthe volleyball team. “People tell me all the time that they didn’t think volleyball could be so exciting.” Whether current criticisms ofTitle IX meet withreform will likely have to wait until January 2003, when Bush’s commission is scheduled to issue its report. Its recommendations will almost certainly stir more controversy, but to coaches like Nagel and Goestenkors, who once had to drive their teams around in vans, Title IX will always evoke memories of struggling women’s programs. “We had to constantly prove ourselves and prove ourselves, and now these young girls are really reaping the benefits,” Goestenkors said. “They don’t understand what it took to get to this point. We still have a long way to go, but I want to help them appreciate what’s come before them.” Paul Doran contributed to this story.

“Nationally 1 think it’s sad when you cut programs to add programs. 1 wish there was some way that wouldn’t happen. Giving opportunity is great.... You have to find more innovative ways to make money, that’s the biggest area.

However, it’s worth it.” Mike Krzyzewski

as men, and 43 percent of athletes are female, just short of the 47 percent female make-up ofthe student body. And perhaps most significantly, female sports receive equal or higherfunding compared to male sports—outside ofbasketball and

football. The women’s tennis team, for example, received $96,164 in 2000-2001, the latest year available, while Duke allocated the men’s team $73,406. Such gaps in favor of women exist in other sports as well—men’s track, for example, receives two-thirds the funding of women’s track—and are caused by the need to balance out money given to football and men’s basketball. Those revenue-generating sports soak up much of the budget for men’s sports, $1.6 million in 20002001, while the $786,677 budget for women’s sports is spread more evenly. The solution, say some, is to change Title DC by excluding football or other wealthy men’s sports from the picture, allowing more funding for things like wrestling or men’s crew. Jan Ogilvie, coach of the women’s track team, said she strongly supports the spirit of Title DC, but that the law has hurt the men’s track program, which is coach by her husband Norm. “I am not a complete proponent of what Title DC has done. I see the opportunity that Title DC has given women, but I also see what it has done for men’s sports that are non-revenue,” she said. “I live in the same house with someone who runs a team of men in the same sport as I do, and despite the fact that

“I tend to take a lot of things for granted. When you look back on how far things have come you think ‘wow, that’s pretty incredible.’ But it is really safe here, [women] have a lot of opportunities. You definitely take a lot for granted.” —Michele Matyasovsky, womens basketball player

Yeah I’ll read it—l want to see it [laughs]. I want to see what quotes you took and what you took off. If you misphrased me a little bit, just to see what it says, find out if you did a good job or not.

What’s your favorite TV. show?

Favorite TV. show, hmmm Actually I just started watchingFriends .

PD I Aren’t you about 10 years late? CD: [laughs] Yeah. It happened

when I went to Japan [playing for the USA World Championship for Young Men Team], and everything was in Japanese and they had a movie rental store and they sold some English tapes and they had the best of Friends and we rented one and we watched like three tapes. It was pretty funny. So when I got back I started watching Friends. When you go abroad, do you PD professional teams? play !

are they?

How good

! Yeah we play the pro teams. They’re not as quick, but they’re more fundamentally sound—they do everything by the b00k.... They shoot the ball well, and they know how to play the game. It’s just different. They have good talent out there.

I Do you think that some of the players, particularly the guys that are coming over, that they will be able to survive in the league?

I No, because the league guys are quicker. I think their lack of quickness is going to hurt them, their lack of athletic ability as well. You probably have a few exceptions like Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash, guys that are quick.

I So, do you think Yao’s going to be the biggest No. 1 bust since Joe Smith?

I [laughs] I don’t know, I mean I really haven’t seen him play—see what he can do, what he can’t do. So I don’t know, it’s going to be interesting.

I What NBA great would you compare your game as being closest to?

I Hmmm. That’s a good question. I mean and I wouldn’t compare my game to this person, but I think —this is what I’ve heard—l’ve heard I play a bit like John Stockton.

I Can you be the scorer that you need to be for this team to succeed next year?

I Yeah, definitely. I have all the confidence in the world in my scoring ability. I mean I think that last year scoring wasn’t my main thing. My main thing was getting the ball to the right peoples’ hands.

PD I Best performance in college? CD I I think one of my best performances was my freshman year at Virginia when we lost, I [also] think I had a pretty good ACC Tournament this year. I mean I hit a couple key shots and I think I passed the ball well—didn’t have that many turnovers.

PDI Worst? CD

Tallahassee. Those are just the ones off the top of my head.

Can you go over tapes of your bad games, or is that just too painful? •

Yeah, I can, but I have to be by myself. I don’t want anybody there. It’s like a censored room, especially for the bad games. It gets ugly in there, and I don’t want anybody to get hurt [laughs].

What do you do after games?

Depends on how I feel. If I’m tired I go and relax and watch Sportscenter. .

Do you ever look for yourself?

It depends if they can give me some TV time. It’s always like the Jason, Mike and Carlos show [laughs]. Maybe I’ll make a nice pass, see if I can make Plays of the Week or something, you never know. My name could be on •

the bottom where they show the stats, that happens every now and then. But either that or sometimes I go out afterward if it’s a home game.

What do you do before games

to get ready?

When it’s a home game I watch tape. Usually I have a tape of the other team’s point guard and I’ll watch that, and try to get a feel for what their tendencies are. [I also] sleep, drink a lot of fluids, and get my mind ready for the game.

Do you have any superstitions?

I I sleep with the ball, nights before games. The type of basketball that we’re playing with the next day, and hopefully it’ll be lucky to me.

*• Do you cuddle it or just kind of put it on the bed next to you?

! Yeah you do this [demonstrates a hugging motion and laughs] Sometimes it doesn’t end up where it’s supposed to in the morning, but that might be a sign, I haven’t experimented with that yet [laughs].

Can you guys win the nation-

al title?

1 1 believe so. One of the keys is that our freshmen come in knowing that they can’t be passive. They have to come in and make an immediate impact. We don’t expect them, for the first one or two months, to come out and be superstars.... Actually, I kind ofthink it may be easier for us to win it because the expectations from everyone else are not there.... We can go out, have fun and play.

! You won the national championship—all the team honors possible your freshman year. Despite any individual awards you may get over the next one or two years, do you ever worry that you might not make it back to the top and that the best is behind?

I No, it’s because I want to get back there and feel that Duke is always going to bring in the weapons for us to get back there. It’s up to us to get there. And I feel like it’s going to be up to me for us to get there this year. And it’s a challenge; it’s something that I want to go against. I love the challenge.... I think my best days are yet to come and I really believe that we are going to do some great things. ■>

Four women’s golfers participate in U.S. Open Men’s lacrosse places 3 players, coach Mike Pressler on America’s title winning squad From staff reports Fresh off its second national championship in four seasons, the women’s golf team had two of its current members as well as two alumni compete in the 2002 U.S. Women’s Open at the Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan. The two members of the 2002 title team, juniors Leigh Anne Hardin and Virada Nirapathpongpom, both failed to make the final cut. Hardin shot a 78 both days, finishing at 16-over-par and tied for 116th place. Nirapathpongpom—who recently won the 2002 Honda Award for top Division I collegiate athlete in her sport—faired only slightly better, shooting rounds of 75 and 78 to finish 13-over and tied for 93rd. On the flip side, alumni Jean Bartholomew and Beth Bauer were both playing when the weekend arrived. In the end, Bauer shot a plus-9 for the tournament landing her in a tie for 18th place and Bartholomew shot a 13-over good for a tie for 44th. In other women’s golf news, Blue Devils coach Dan Brooks was honored as Division I coach of the year. It is the third time in four years that he has won that award.

Three players with Duke ties, as well as head coach Mike Pressler, helped the United States rally from a two-goal deficit at halftime to win America’s sixth consecutive International Lacrosse Federation World Championship held this year in Perth, Australia. Scott Bross, who graduated in 2001, scored one goal in the title game, while senior Kevin Cassese tossed in an assist. Tim Knowles (Trinity ’99) also played on the team, while Pressler served as an assistant. Entering the fourth quarter deadlocked at 13, America used a four-goal blitz to beat Canada, 18-15.

KEVIN CASSESE, who will be entering his final year of eligibility, had an assist during the final of the ILF World Championship.

Burton, who has worked with the program the past two seasons while completing her degree in civil engineering, will coach freshman walk-ons and recruits, while also assisting with the recruiting process next season.

During her undergraduate years at the University, she was a four-year letterwinner and her novice crews posted no lower than second during the spring season. “Erin’s work ethic and commitment to the program are going to be a tremendous resource for our staff,” coach Robyn Homer said. “She has an incredible grasp on what it takes to be part of our program, both as an

Kris-krossed: Humphries verbally commits to Duke After listing Kansas and Minnesota as his top choices, a visit from the Blue Devils landed the blue chipper in Durham.

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle Late in February, Duke assistant Chris Collins traveled to Minnesota to watch a player by the name of Kris Humphries, who had begun receiving increasing attention from colleges like Arizona, Louisville and Michigan during an exceptional junior-year campaign. On May 22, three months later, Mike Krzyzewski garnered his first commitment from the Class of 2007 when the

six-foot-nine forward from the suburbs Minneapolis, announced his intentions to become a Blue Devil. “Coach Collins immediately saw him and realized [how good Humphries had become,]” said Ken Novak, his coach at Hopkins High School, “I think he came up at the same time Jim Harrick of Georgia was there and there were about three others. And immediately, every one of them just realized.” Maybe it was the seven assists the big man handed out against Wayzata that night that impressed the coaches. Maybe it was the 11 rebounds he pulled down. Possibly it was the five-of-six that he shot from behind the arc, or maybe it was simply the 44 points he poured in against poor Wayzata. In any case, the coaches liked what

they saw. Collins talked with Krzyzewski and showed him the tape. An invitation for

an official visit was tendered, and in May, after the forward met with the players and coaching staff on campus, Humphries found himself on the Mike Max Show on WCCO in Minnesota ver-

bally committing to Duke. “I think it was always in the back of Kns’ mind to go to Duke,” Novak said. “I think it was just more of a matter of whether Duke thought he was good enough to play for them, and I think once they saw him they realized he was.” After earning a starting spot for Hopkins at the beginning of his sophomore year—an impressive accomplish-

ment for a team that had been nationally ranked the year before—and playing well early, Humphries broke his wrist and missed most of the season. That summer, Humphries was forced to play center—a position he can handle, but does not highlight his abilities—for his AAU team and drew only limited attention from major programs. Then came Humphries’ junior year, the coming out party. Last season he averaged 26.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots while leading Hopkins to the state AAAA championship, and he was named Minneapolis Metro Player of the Year. In the spring he was listed among the top 25 players in his class by most recruiting experts. After not even being on the list of finalists Humphries’ cited in the winter, Duke vaulted past Kansas and Minnesota, where Kris’ dad William played football. If the winter was Humphries’ coming out party, the summer has been his coronation ball.

Wispelwey faces D Wl, 3 other charges

After losing D. Bryant for academic reasons, the football team has more off-field problems By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

One of the candidates for the recently vacated starting quarterback job, Chris Wispelwey, was charged with driving while impaired as well as three other misdemeanor counts Sunday, July 14 at 2:08 a.m. Wispelwey registered a 0.17 bloodalcohol level and is scheduled to appear in Orange County District Court, Aug. 20. He also faces charges of driving after consuming alcohol while under 21, driving the wrong way on a multi-lane road and attempting to use a drivers license that was not his. According to a police report, the

Pompton Plains, N.J., native was driving on the wrong side of the street west in the eastbound lanes of Franklin Street—forcing oncoming traffic to drive onto the sidewalk to avoid head-on collisions. The 20-year old then turned right onto Estes Drive and continued driving despite being pursued by police cars brandishing lights and sirens. The officer had to pull up beside Wispelwey’s vehicle and tell him to pull over. The report also said that when the police officer asked for Wispelwey’s license and registration, Wispelwey attempted to give the officer his broth—

er’s drivers license. “I’m aware ofit, we’re monitoring it,” coach Carl Franks said. “I’ve talked to Chris, we’ll handle it internally and the court system will certainly handle their end of it. It’s unfortunate for that to

happen to any young person... if it all proves out to be correct. We all make mistakes in life, and fortunately no one was injured in his accident. Hopefully we’ll move on from that.”

Bryant suspended for 2002 season

Starting quarterback D. Bryant was ruled academically ineligible for the 2002 football season and will not play his final year for the Blue Devils according to a statement made by the football program June 12. The loss means that Duke, which has not won a game in its last 23 tries, will be without an experienced play caller when the season opens Aug. 31 against East Carolina. “This is an unfortunate situation under difficult circumstances,” Bryant said. “I have enjoyed my time here at

Duke and have made great relation-

ships with many people. I will certainly miss my teammates and wish them the best of luck. I hope to play college football at another school this fall and return to Duke in the future to earn my degree.” Franks said the decision was made by the University, but is effective at other NCAA schools. He added that Bryant would probably transfer to an NAIA school, and hopefully play during

the upcoming season. Franks said that Bryant probably has more eligibility remaining at an NAIA school because they calculate it by semester rather than year. After redshirting his freshman year, Bryant walked onto the basketball team and

Fowler under a new Roof

The defense has received a much needed makeover after Ted Roof took the reigns as defensive coordinator. Roof, who called the defensive plays at ACC rival Georgia Tech for the past three seasons and is a former All-ACC linebacker himself, has moved some of the players on the defensive line around in an effort to make it quicker. “Ted certainly gives us some new-found enthusiasm,” Franks said. “Change can be good, and that’s a place where we needed to have some change.” The most notable change Roof has made is moving Ryan Fowler, arguably Duke’s top defender, from outside linebacker to the inside. The coaching staff hopes that the move will increase the line’s speed up the center and make it easier for Fowler to tackle and to get at the opposing team’s quarterback. Franks said he would not reveal any other strategic changes his team has made because he is hoping to catch a few coaches off guard when the season starts.

No JUCO anytime soon Despite the fact that almost every other program in the country recruits junior college transfers, Franks said that Duke has no intentions of starting the practice anytime soon. He did add that it was a possibility down the road—something his staff “kicks around a little bit”—pointing to the practice at academic peer institutions like Stanford, but that under the current Duke system it is extremely difficult. Currently, Duke graduates most of its players in four years; but at other schools it is the norm to stay five or six. In its history, Duke has had just a few junior college players, most recently in the 1970s and 1980s. Currently there is a movement in NCAA Division I foot-

ball to make it harder to transfer credits between schools and thus harder for schools to accept junior college players. “Duke has never made a commitment to recruiting junior college players,” Franks said. “It would be pretty difficult for us to find enough guys who would be able to come in and be eligible.” Franks said that for a junior college player to transfer to Duke and graduate in four years he would have to be extremely dedicated to academics and have 60 to 75 percent of his coursework done before he stepped onto campus. He also noted that with only 12 scholarships to give next season, it is even more unlikely.

The $22 million cost was bankrolled primarily by a $5.5 million gift from Harold “Spike” Yoh, chair of the Board of Trustees, and his wife Mary Milus Yoh. The remaining threequarters of the price tag came from about 750 other donors, more than half of whom were former football players. Whether the center will successfully improve Duke’s recruiting chances remains to be seen. But Franks said the current Blue Devils approved of it. “The players are excited about moving into the building, and some ofthem have already snuck in there,” he said.

Goestenkors will have the particularly unenviable task of trying to determine a playing rotation for her immensely talented side. “Everybody’s time is going to go down,” she said. “That’s just the way it’s going to be. I’ve already [told] them that productivity needs to go up. They aren’t going to have the luxury of making

three, four, five mistakes because there will be somebody else.” As Beard, Currie and Tillis are almost guaranteed to play significant minutes, only two starting spots will most likely be open, forcing many to accept supporting roles off the bench. For highly acclaimed athletes used to thriving in the spotlight, such a transition might be hard to swallow. “I think for me [it will be hard], because I’ve been used to playing so much in high school,” freshman Mistie Bass said. “That could be easily adjusted to, but everybody’s goal is to play. I really can’t change that outlook.” Fellow freshman center Brooke Smith feels the potentially negative situation can also be seen from positive angles.

that we are going to run more, we are going to score more.” Featured prominently in such an aggressive scheme will likely be freshman point guard Lindsey Harding. The 5-6 Harding boasts tremendous speed and a passion for running. “That’s my strength, actually, to get the ball out and push it up the floor,” Harding said. “In high school I was used to doing it all myself, but now I’ll finally have people on the wings to give to who can score, so definitely that’s a strong point for me.”

ALANA BEARD will have to step-up to a leadership role on this young Duke team. “I think the best thing about it is that bat restlessness is through an extended we are all going to make each other that rotation. She now has an unprecedented much better,” she said. “It will be an quantity of depth, a luxury that she adjustment because we all were at intends to make much use of. “It’s going to be even more exciting places where we were the best on our teams, but it will be a good challenge.” because we will be able to press even

Eager to prove its national merit, Duke will play a schedule expected of a top-flight team. , The two pivotal matchups will be against Tennessee and Connecticut, the perrenial powerhouses in women’s collegiate basketball. Goestenkors is particularly anticipating the battle with the Volunteers. “That [game] potentially will be oneversus-two,” Goestenkors said. “That’s usually the Connecticut-Tennessee game, so for us to be involved in the oneversus-two game, which I think will happen—l think that’s incredible.” The accomplishments of last season mean that Duke will enter the upcoming season as an established title contender. Teams will be ready for the Blue Devils, particularly the other eight schools in the ACC, who are facing the possibility of

back-to-back white washes. “We’ll probably start the season ranked one or two, but that doesn’t mean anything to us to be perfectly honest,” Goestenkors said. “I think the good thing about our team is that we don’t feel like we’ve arrived. We are constantly in pursuit.... I hope I never feel that we’ve arrived because then I think I might take a step back and become complacent.”

Wispelwey led the Blue squad last spring. “He’s the biggest of the three quarterbacks, has a strong arm—probably the strongest arm of the three —and likes to throw the ball,” Pry said. “Again, [like all three] his negative would be lack of game experience.” Wispelwey’s status, however, may be unclear after he was charged in Chapel Hill with a DWI as well as three other misdemeanor counts. Franks said the team would handle the matter internally. In addition, Franks pointed to an additional incoming freshman backup—Mike Schnieder, a 6-3 Pennsylvania prospect.

Foster leaves for Dartmouth Recent graduate and All-American women’s lacrosse goaltender, Kristen Foster, will leave Duke to join the Dartmouth women’s lacrosse staff as an assistant coach. During her career, Foster collected many accolades including leading the Blue Devils to the 1999 final four. She has also served as a member of the U.S. developmental squad, as well as working in camps at Dartmouth, Duke, Maryland and Stanford. Foster will replace Big Green assistant Randi Borgen and join the staff of head coach Amy Patton, who is entering her 11th season as head coach.

Being sick folks, we sent our most macho movie reviewer to see the least macho movie of the summer. Here's what Jon Schnaars had to say: Gentlemen, there is a cancer among us. It is showing at your local multiplex, and I warn you now: Stay Away! Imagine a film created through the creative collaboration of Oprah and Martha Stewart and produced by the Oxygen network. Now shoot it up with a little Thelma & Louise, and you’ll be left with Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood. Now, I wouldn't call this film a chick flick, I would call it the chick flick. As the culmination of more than a half century of Hollywood's obsession with making women swoon at the movie theater, Ya-Ya pours on the sap worse than the actors in the film pour on the bad Southern accents. As is the problem with virtually all "chick flicks" (a rather cliche term, but nonetheless the most accurate), Ya-Ya leaves us poor defenseless

men without any chance of being entertained. This is the story of mothers and daughters, of women maturing, of men being put through unequaled agony. And Ashley Jpdd doesn't even take her bra off. Why are we destined to suffer so? The Walker women—the mother and daughter in question —are not content merely screwing up their own lives, so they must instead drag a

loving boyfriend or husband with them. Forget all that crap about mothers and daughters, the real story behind Ya-Ya is the incredible patience and fortitude displayed by these men. Unfortunately, there are no divine secrets here, only tortured male egos and mushy female bonding that serve to make Ya-Ya arguably the most gender-biased film in recent memory, and a surefire boyfriend killer. Will Hollywood learn from its mistakes, men? Ugh, who cares? Just grab me a beer.

Like movies? Like music? Like gentle spankings? Then sign up for Recess. We will be having new writer meetings early in the year, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements. In the meantime, e-mail Greg and Meg at recess@chronicle.duke.edu.

Yes, as a high-brow college student, I scoff at MTV. The reasons for its demise are endless —"Tough Enough" instead of videos, Simon Rex a porn star, it's practically the Britney network, the list goes on. Well, that's during the school year, summer, I received a piece of news that warped my too-cool convictions —the MTV Beach House was at the Jersey Shore. I began to dream of a lime-colored beach house and Carson Daly in swim trunks.

Spotting the house's we took to the beach, hoping for a shoreside approach. Within 100 yards of the stage, we were stopped by a harried intern with the name Barry on his lanyard. "You can't come in here, sorry," the little suck-up said. We begged, sweet-talked, debated, but Barry held firm. We could see the audience for TRL assembling, and Carson on the house's balcony. We stooped to telling Barry about a terminally ill aunt dreaming to see us on TV, that this was our shot at television stardom. We even pulled out flirtatious . wiles. To no avail. A few days later, we talked to our friend Cragin. "I called the MTV studio and got TRL tickets!" she said. "Who wants to come?" Alas, if we'd only known it were that simple. —Meghan Valerio

are the Disney generation. Weaned on the classics and spoonfed the spinoffs, we lived and died . ,: r by the annual summer injection of fresh animania. We knew the songs, we loved the characters, and for a few golden, glorious years, Disney was King. Roundabout the birth of Pocahontas, something went wrong; Disney hit a slump. Did

twin pillars of the entertainment trinity? The standards that compel Disney adaptations to adhere so closely to literature, do they also grant Disney the creative license to bastardize classics with talking gargoyles? These flicks are relatively harmless, but from their beheadings, hangings and mock executions to their occasional high-speed under■ water spaceship firefight, we can't shake the feeling that Disney ought to ditch the drama and work on the little things. Like plot, Props to Lilo and Stitch, however, for going back to the basics this summer. You've got your cliches—the broken family, the misunderstood heroine, the gentle, chiding morality. But Lilo has other elements in its favor: It's crazy, but coherent. Characters are proportionate, in personality and in appearance; dialogue is smart and snappy, but tasteful.

so fast. Oh, we've all been there; bored adolescents, fingers poised on 'pause,' perusing stacks of the old classics. Unlikely cloud formations and phallic architecture aside, early Disney is a study in subdued sexuality. Every heroine is shadowed by the ghost of a Lolita complex; but somewhere, somehow, things began to change. Heroines are now more Lara Croft than Sleeping Beauty; we're talking heaving bosoms, sultry eyes and lots of leg. The timid pretty-boys of animation past have beefed up, stripped down, and found attitude as well. And the innuendos are spectacular. Skeptical? Watch Tarzan with 20 friends and a case of Busch Light.

These things have away of coming out. And there are more questions: What of language and violence, remaining

death-doom-and-destruction scenario—we suppose they couldn't resist —but keeps it light. Lilo isn't watered down; it's just intelligently made. What's next for is anyone's guess, Disney DISNEY’S UNLIKELY SAVIORS: Lilo and Stitch makes Disney there's more Lilo but if worth watching again. and less Mulan in its future, this deposed despot of the animation underworld just might be clambering its way back to the top of the heap. —Katie Latanich

Perdition

Mendes apart from his contemporary up-and-coming filmmakers is his ability to tackle every scene as though it were a single

moment of a very expensive play. Mendes became a Hollywood darling after winning an Oscar for his first film, American Beauty, and it's not clear if Hollywood realizes what it has—a stage veteran who knows the craft of directing better than most Hollywood veterans. And Mendes is so good at

disguising a play as a movie, that Hollywood, which usually loathes anything that looks and feels like stage work, is begging Mendes for more. Not to mention throwing its biggest stars of two generations at him—Paul Newman andTom Hanks play the central father-figure and son roles in Perdition. How does he do it? Two skills that are often present on stage and often missing in Hollywood: subtlety and restraint. The best scenes in American Beauty are the quiet ones between Wes Bentley andThora Birch and between Kevin Spacey and

back and letting the audience make the connections for itself. Humor, drama, rose-covered naked women on the ceiling —American Beauty's real attractiveness was its ability to put the so-called fourth wall of theatre back in place, and make the cameras, no matter how close-up the shot, seem like orchestra seating. It's a decidedly un-American feel, which makes sense, because Mendes is a Brit. That he was able to peer so closely into American attitudes makes his first achievement even more stunning. The early reviews of Perdition are not as positive, and it may well be time for nose-in-the-air critics to take swipes at someone they regarded highly just three years ago. But pointing the arrow of ire at Mendes would be a mistake. Hollywood is more beautiful even with Mendes offering his second-best effort. For all the criticism of how stale Hollywood has become, an interjection of the finest points (and directors) of theater could make a difference. —Martin Barna

Attention comrades! DMA to feature Russi Almost everyone's heard of it, and certainly you've seen it (or will see it pretty soon), but have you ever really gone to Duke's own museum? If you haven't, /all's the perfect time to emedy that. And if you lave been, the Duke niversity Museum of Art s plenty happening this mester to pique your erest.

DANCIN’ BORIS wants you to go to the DUMA (no, not//«f Duma) to see this fall’s exhibit.

European art will be in full swing at the DUMA for c , : . on over move-m. Slide with the 'rentals and check out selections of 19th century French art from the permanent collection. Also on display will be selections of Russian art. The works from the permanent collection rotate in and out of the museum, so catch 'em while they're on the wall. From late August to Oct. 27, DUMA will run the moving photography exhibit, "Missing; Documenting the Spontaneous Memorials of 9/11." Aimee Malloy will conduct a lecture Sept 11 at 8:43 a.m. to discuss the exhibit and its statement about the tragedy. The faculty of Duke's own Ciompi Quartet will hold a reception and concert in the museum Oct

3, and Ciompi will again get the old museum rockin' and rollin' (okay, maybe more like waltzing) Nov. 7. The DUMA folk will also be dancing in the museum's halls in early October. Students and instructors will perform dances choreographed to complement the DUMA'S artwork Oct. 10. The free "Moving Experience" begins at 6 p.m., preceded by a reception at 5:30. Opening with a reception Sept. 26, "Reinserting Myself into a History: Academic Eye III" will explore American life through the lens of Chapel Hill photographer Tammy Rae Garland. Free to Duke students, the exhibition runs through Nov. 24. Another after hours opening of an exhibit entitled "Pedro Figari: Lines of Uruguayan Life, A Student Curated Exhibition" will take place at 6 p.m. Nov. 14. Listen in as fellow students educate you on the finer points of this oft-forgotten turn-of-the-20th-century South American artist Whether you're an art historian or a waltz nut or just need some good ol' culture, DUMA offers a treasure trove of opportunities to capitilize upon this fall, so you have no excuse to skip this untapped campus resource. —Meg Lawson

Although numerous individual B cuts shine, the album lacks the continuity that drove his first offering. The shattering death of "Blood on the Motorway" proves that Shadow hasn't lost the ability to make groundbreaking music, but the altogether goofy and misplaced "Mashin' on the Motorway" shows that he may have forgotten how to make a complete album. —Greg Veis

first thing you notice are the moptops. Then, your attention shifts to band members' four matching suits and the high-pitched screams emanating from the first few rows. By the time the opening chords of "

revolutionized rock music, I'm having a blast. Despite 1964's being comprised of four goofballs who have dressed up and pretended to be other people for the last 18 years, there are just too many reasons to enjoy their show. First, the songs can automatically suck the cynicism out of even the most hardened misanthrope, and these fakes play 'em just like you remember 'em. Rockers like "Eight Days a Week" and "Twist and Shout" were surprisingly raucous, and ballads "In My Life" and "Yesterday" weren't overly sentimental. Second, anytime I diverted my attention away from the stage, a sea of completely offrhythm, overly enthusiastic 50year-olds attempting to recreate their glory days unfolded before me. During "Help!" .

Sandor, he's about to collect his social security check, and he probably wants to sell you life insurance. Those shrieks from the front of the theater aren't girlish moans either; they're asthmatic chokes. And, the worst indignity of all, Paul is fat. So, 1964... ATribute, the Beatles' "premier" cover band, is not quite as cool as the original Fab Four. Not even close. But packed into the Carolina Theatre 40 years after the boys from Liverpool

one Golden Oldie started dancing so spastically that his dentures fell out.

How to Jack Your 8-Track It's more essential than sunscreen, more personalized than that monogramed beach towel you got for high school graduation and a hell of a lot funkier than your '64 Impala. It is the perfect summer mix tape (or burned CD), and you know you need to make one. You'll quickly find, however, that although it's pretty hard to mess up a mix tape, it's also pretty hard to get it exactly right. Enter the Recess music department. By following our simple rules, even you can make a mix tape that will not only get you through the highs and lows of summer in style, but will also impress your friends, and maybe even get you laid. Trust us. RULE #1: No repeats. Phish-heads take note: If you use more than one song by the same band, you defeat the whole purpose of the mix tape. And yes, Trey's side projects count. RULE #2: Nothing too new. You want to be able

to listen to this tape all summer long. Imagine if you had made a tape last year and included "Who Let the Dogs Out." Exactly. RULE #3: Keep it accessible. Unless you plan on listening to this tape alone all summer, don't include that obnoxious song by that random band nobody but you likes. RULE #4: Old Skool Jamz. It ain't a mix tape if it doesn't include something that can be described as "straight up seventh grade." The trick to this rule is picking something you actually want to hear again. Use sparingly: Sublime, Cake, Old Ben Folds

Five, anything off Doggystyle. RULE #5: Make yourself happy. Too many great mix tapes have been ruined when they tried to cater to too many divergent tastes. If you're going to the trouble to make it, you should want to listen to it.

The Boss of Underground Garage Little Steven: Sopranos Star, Springsteen ax man and righteous dude

Recess

editor Greg Veis caught with Little Steven (ne: up Steven Van Zandt) earlier this month, and he talked to one of the busiest men in show business about the future of The Sopranos, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's new album The Rising and his Underground Garage radio gig: Recess: You, my friend, are a multimedia star. You've got music,TV, radio. Why such a fast pace? Little Steven: I gotta keep myself off the streets. Stay outta trouble. Doing a good job of it? So-so. I think I need more to do. So, with the radio show, why'd you press to get it started in the first place? First of all, I- don't hear my favorite songs on the radio. I want to bring a combination of British invasion and New York garage bands—none of whom get airplay. Why do you think these bands aren't seeing any time on the radio, where people could actually get exposed to them? The major record companies haven't been signing them, so they just exist in a limbo in this underground garage world. 1 discovered the whole newstyle garage thing about three years ago. 1 went to this festival, and it was fantastic. I need more people to hear how damn good this music is, and it bothers me a lot that this generation and the one before it—don't have a lot of choices when it comes to music. All that's getting thrown at them is hard rock and rap and pop and that's it. Look at all the choices we had growing up, and it's just not fair to these kids. —

Choices are what America's supposed to be about.

Hallelujah. Hell yeah. So I realized that it ain't never gonna change unless we try to change it, so I use whatever celebrity capital 1 have to break into radio world, which is like breaking into Fort Knox. What current bands excite you. In the newest generation of garage

bands, 1 love Greenhorns, Cotton Mather, Model Rockets, Boss Martians and a bunch of others like that. It's funny that so many people don't think about this stuff,

That's gonna happen whether 1 agree or not. They may do a fifth year, and that'll be it. It's tough for me because I love it so much, and I want it to last forever. You can keep it interesting because there are so many good characters that you can discover a lot about. What are the chances of there being a spinoff for your character Silvio Dante? Oh, I love that idea. I'm telling ya. I have to ask: Is [E-Street and Late Night drummer] Max Weinberg addicted to groupies?

Last question: If we were osophy the show at a party together, would you •uid call it introduce me to other people as its before it your friend? :s too old? Sure, why not?

As far as the new album goes though, I heard you compare it to Sgt. Pepper's. Those are big words. 1 didn't want to exactly compare it to Sgt. Pepper's, but it has elements of it in the fact that it's an album where the songs add up to more than the sum of its parts. It's bigger than each individual song. It's damn good. Can Bruce Springsteen &The E Street Band still connect to college audiences? I don't see why not. When you're an early teenager, you accept a lot of the fabricated music, but once you

JETT RINK, one of the Durham’s niost respected acts, along with a number of recent converts, believes that the local music scene can rival that of Chapel Hill. From left: Mike, Dave, Tim, Viva and Tony.

noon on June 3, a rally cry was posted on the alt.music.chapelhill newsgroup: "ok folks, i hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you need to know this and we have some work to do immediately. "on the way home we swung into radio free records parking 10t... the back gate was locked and ethan was sitting on the front stoop, he said they were closed today, i asked if it was just too hot. he responded that the store had been robbed.... "radio free, one of the best record stores to ever grace this state, is virtually wiped out. there is no insurance." Amid the flurry of activity that immediately followed, the irony of this note was lost; It was posted to the bulletin board for Chapel Hill, but the store and the majority of the people who responded to it reside in Durham This is a town that, two years back, could not boast a single venue for live shows. But tragedy brings out the best in a community; in this case, it galvanized a music scene that had only just begun to take form.

Where the Music Happens What's a music community without a venue? Up until the last several months, Durham residents have pondered that very question. However, with the addition of two new clubs Bully's Basement and Ringside—bands who would have otherwise traveled to Chapel Hill for an audience don't have to spend the extra gas money. Both venues, despite fighting for the same local dollars, badly want to see the local scene develop. "We have a great cooperative relationship...," Ringside's booking agent Jenn Duerr said. "We book shows for each other all the time. If they don't have room for somebody and think it would go better at Ringside, they call me, and vice versa." Greg Bloom drops the information you'll need once you start frequenting these clubs in the fall: —

The Palace Thief With the administration stuffing summer reading down the new freshmen's throats. Recess provides a couple helpful (Cliffs) notes

Pity

the Class of 2006, whose summer romps were interrupted when the Division of Student Affairs, in, all its divisional wisdom, plopped down upon them a summer reading assignment with the proud banner of "promoting intellectual discussion." Never just an A&E rag, Recess is ready and willing to jump into the desk chair ring. Freshmen, a word of advice: If Recess offers to do your work for you, kick back and let it flow like Cliff's Notes. A moment please, let me get my boots on before we wade through the Bogs of Oprah. Ethan Canin's "The Palace Thief" is a story about cheating —rather, a story about letting cheating slide. Our narrator is a blustering and spiteful teacher named Hundert, nestled within a stuffy, elite prep school. His maxim: "It is critical for any man of import to understand his own insignificance before the sands of time." Conflict arises when he comes across 3) Sedgewick, a troublemaker with "the dangerous element of natural leaderobscurity ship." He catches the boy cheating in a 2) osteoporosis trivia contest in front of the whole school and its rich WASPy families gangrenous including the boy's father, a senator. effervescently Although our narrator makes sure the kid loses, he nevertheless balks from 1) exposing the fraud. The moral failure Sedgewick's sparks plagues him throughout the rest of his i&Roai career. Decades later, the kid —now CEO-fabulous but still up to no good—reconvenes his entire class on a private resort island to restage the contest. Once more, the teacher catches him cheating, and once more lets him off the hook. When he finally does scrape together some integrity and tries to redeem himself, it's too late; The palace is already stolen (that's figurative, hot shot) with the fortunate son on his way to Washington to become a senator himself. Canin's story has at times the sharp eye of a parable. The power process runs not on merit but in fact counter to it—that cheating in life is

modus operand'/, and the foppish routines of integrity ultimately break down in compromise Strangely, the story has only a weary apprehension of this cheating. The senator-to-be was mischievous but not malicious, and the worst thing really said about him—something that could be redirected instantly toward our country's current leader—is that he was "blindly ignorant of history and therefore did not fear his role in it." Instead it is the narrator, and the academy he uses for a crutch, who are the real chumps. Hundert's life is bloated with every clot of arcane insulation that so hopelessly mires academia in irrelevance. The poor sod even has emphamyopia, a fact you should bring up in your discussion of symbolism, right diction." after you cover tone and diction. scapula Certainly "The Palace Thief" has an odd lesson to teach the Class of 2006, Sedgewick but it's one they'll learn well in the next couple of years. They'll know three or four kids in each dorm just as privileged, learning bratty and ethically bankrupt as Sedgewick—tomorrow's leaders who will sled down a Public Policy curriculum at a speed of 3.8 GPA, right into a cushy job controlling other people's money. Maybe not all of them have cheat-sheets taped to their shoe soles, but they still stand as damning evidence that an institution like Duke is just as much one of higher power as it is higher learning. In "The Palace Thief," academic integrity and excellence are as cheap as those framed Honor Code flyers on classroom walls. How's that for a discussion topic? —Greg Bloom

Top three things to say about Thief to impress your peers:

—

'The tone that Canin utilisizes sizes the of his obsolete 'The could in the become when obfuscates." "Hunderfs embers of accentuate of success."

Dorm Room Shopping on Target for Fall

of the first things people said to me after had-been accepted to college was, "Have you picked out your sheets yet?" Apparently there is some ceremonial picking-of-the-first-year-of-college-sheets rite of passage that I was not privy to. This silly preoccupation with linens started to make sense when I discovered a hidden truth: Everyone wants her home away from home to reflect her unique personality. However, sheets alone do not a personalized dorm room make, so I've done some research and settled on two stores that I think offer the most stylish products around: Target This major retailer has set itself apart from the of myriad Middle America mega-stores by never compromising on style in the name of a bargain. Target has given itself a bit of a makeover for the new millennium after attracting unique designers to create home products for the masses. After all, necessity need not be boring. For your room, consider a streamlined side table by Phillipe Stark that also serves as a light. Or try a funky portable phone by Michael Graves straight out of the 19505. Most delish of all, Todd Oldham, a former MTV House of Style contributor, has just released a colorful summer collection, jumping with eclectic designs that specifically cater to the dorm room crowd.

As Phone: 919.969.8846 the sleazeball with the spray-on hair bought me drinks, I munched on the ginger chicken wings with red chilies, while my friend had the black mushroom and cabbage dumplings. The wings were tangy, but I expected them to be hotter. Instead they were pleasantly sweet, but covered in peanuts. which were not listed on the menu. A bit of a problem if you have a peanut allergy, but once I informed the very helpful staff, they were happy to correct the problem. My friend's dumplings were good overall, but the flavor of the casing overpowered the filling too much.

The presentation of both dishes was excellent and well-planned. For the entree we moved to the dining room where I had the steak with crispy spinach and my friend had the only vegetarian entree, which was a pleasantly spicy southern Indian stew of chick pea dumplings and saffron. Local vegetables such as summer squash, tomatoes and roasted onions added to its hardy taste. My Japanese steakhouse-style filet mignon with onions served on skewers was delightfully different. The saltiness of the crispy spinach nicely complemented the Ponzu sauce. Dessert diverged from the Asian theme as we ordered the hot chocolate cake and vanilla bean panna cotta. The cake had a molten center and a rich chocolate flavor. And the milk chocolate ice cream on the side cooled it off wonderfully. The panna cotta rivaled desserts at any Italian restaurant in the area, with its near meltin-your-mouth consistency. The sweetness of the vanilla was balanced by the espresso caramel and coffee brittle. There are little more than 10 tables in the dining room, but the design—large mirrors across one wall and windows along another masks its size elegantly. The bar is darker and less pleasant, but the bartender was extremely friendly, despite being pressed to wait on the more than 20 people waiting for tables. Because reservations are only accepted for parties of six or more, the best advice is to go early and always be prepared to wait. Unless, of course, you want Mr. Spray-on to buy you drinks. —Meg Lawson —

They aren't always students But they play them on TV RECESS surveys how the networks try to imitate your life

Recently,

TV networks of all sizes have been giving it the old college try. The WB tried to launch a major hit with their fabulous, and now sadly defunct, four-year series Felicity. HBO sent Meadow Soprano away to college. Fox decided it was Undeclared, and CBS tried to educate Max Bickford. And then Dawson's Creek doll Katie Holmes dropped onto Duke's doorstep, filming segments of the teenybopper drama all along the Gothic watchtowers and libraries. Not to be left out, MTV decided YES, I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT: Sopranos’ that instead Jamie-Lynn Sigler (above) and Keri Russell of sending (right) of Felicity play college girls gone wild. Daria to college, it would send the new crew of Road Rules on a cross-country collegiate challenge instead. Yep, the networks sure are trying to capture college. The question is, are they getting it right? The answer of course is yes and no. To begin with, there are the obvious aesthetic differences—for instance, there are way more anorexic blondes on Duke's campus then there will ever be on television. And sadly, Felicity had more Marc Jacobs in her closet than most college girls could ever imagine (although I did catch her sporting a cowgirl shirt from Old Navy once). Still, the television networks have managed to capture little shards of the drama, the style and the friendship that really do make up our college experience. In honor of our recent addiction to MTV's Sorority Life, the Recess crew has decided to make up a little study guide—we've found our college shows, matched them up against the real thing, and given them a mark. Read on to see if your favorite show made the grade.... —Fa ran Krentcil

Bachelorettes Moles ,

For

those craving a break from contrived network shlock, at its best, may be a strong alternative. The genre has e; its put-people-on-an-is!and/in-a-house-and-film-them" pi phy to feature everything from game shows to real-life dramas. However, game shows with as much guile and suspense as a typical beach novel are hard to find. Although the surreptitiously conniving behavior on The Mole II: The Next Betrayal involves the viewer in an intriguing mystery, Dog Eat Dog, should be spaded. Featuring idiotic challenges performed by the contestant selected as most likely to fail, Dog resorts to cheap insults and ridiculous stunts for entertainment, leaving viewers looking for the remote. Though not exactly high-brow fare, American Idol actuall works and has become a breakaway hit this summer. The show deftly harps upon our voyeuristic tendencies, and we even get to call in to vote for the next pop sensation, like,

Dogs: Oh My!

A similar attraction existed toward The Hamptons, a virtual n the playground of the rich and disillusioned. The documentaryiseries managed to capture the essence of this much bally-hooed of excess. And, well, Bachelorettes in Alaska was Bachelorettes 'ka. it, for those hoping for something a bit more serious, a handful of l-life dramas have popped up this summer. The compelling Crime id Punishment and State v. satisfy those who can't get enough of hat Law and Order thang. Other dramatic series such as Boston 24/7 and Houston Medical examine lives that network execs want you to believe are more exciting than yours. Don't believe them, though, because the fleeting nature of reality TV is such that some really happening gal on Houston Medical this year could very easily become next summer's winner on Bachelorettes in Kandahar. —Hilary Lewis iwn.

July 24, 2002/THE

CHRONICLE

WELCOME TO DUKE UNIVERSITY Duke University originated in a one room, log schoolhouse in nearby Randolph County. In the academic year 1838-39, Brown’s Schoolhouse reorganized as Union Institute when Methodist and Quaker families united their efforts to provide a permanent academy for their children. For a brief period the school offered state sanctioned teacher education as Normal College, but it became more clearly identified with the Methodist Church with its name change to Trinity College in 1859The school survived the Civil War without closing but it struggled during the Reconstruction Era before casting its lot with the “New South” image of urbanization and manufacturing with a move to the booming city of Durham in 1892. The church loyalty and civic mindedness of entrepreneur Washington Duke led him to contribute $85,000 to entice the school to Durham. His eldest son, Benjamin N. Duke, continued support for Trinity College and Ben’s younger brother, James B. Duke, made the transition to a university possible with the creation of The Duke Endowment, a family philanthropic organization, in 1924. He also donated $21,000,000 for the construction of what is now known as East and West Campus. President William P. Few talked J. B. Duke into agreeing to the new name for the new university because there were over a dozen colleges and universities named Trinity around the world. Despite an oft-told tale, J. B. Duke did not offer his gift to Princeton if it would change its name. His philanthropy was clearly in the tradition of that of his father and brother, although more spectacular. While Duke is now known as the home of the Blue Devils, the football team was also the “Iron Dukes” in 1938 when the football team was unbeaten, untied and unscored upon! “Iron Dukes” was a moniker given to the football team by an outside sports writer. Durham has the distinction of being the only community other than Pasadena, California, to host the Rose Bowl in 1942. -

DUKE FOREST Many undergraduates attend Duke University and never take advantage of one of the most unique environments the University has to offer: Duke Forest. Totaling 7,900 acres, primarily within Durham and Orange Counties, the Forest is comprised of a variety of ecosystems, from open fields and young pine stands to mature pine and hardwood forests. The Duke Forest originated in the mid-1920’s when Duke University purchased many small farms and forested lands as a buffer for the new campus then under construction. In 1931, under the direction of Dr. Clarence Korstian, these tracts were placed under intensive management for forestry purposes. The original goals of forestry education and research have since broadened to encompass a variety of disciplines in the natural and environmental sciences. Today, academic use of the Duke Forest ranges from class instruction to long-term research projects, and includes such diverse topics as plant ecology, invertebrate zoology, forest economics, and global climate change. With nearly $3 million of funded research annually, the Duke Forest is nationally recognized as a premier facility for outdoor education and environmental science research in the Southeast. Limited recreation is permitted in the Duke Forest, as long as it does not conflict with teaching and research projects. Access roads throughout the Forest provide opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hikers may also use the posted foot-trails and are encouraged to visit the one-mile self-guided nature trail located off NC-751 at Gate C. Additional opportunities for biking and hiking near campus can be found at the three-mile cross country trail, which winds through the woods around the Duke University Golf Course. Two shelters off of NC-751 may be rented ($25-$3O) for picnics and gatherings. For more information or trailmaps, contact the Office of the Duke Forest at 919-613-8013 or visit the Duke Forest homepage at www.env.duke.edu/forest. The Gothic Bookshop at the Bryan Center has an information kit for Duke Forest available.

DUKE CHAPEL mm

CHRONICLE

by Adelaide McCulloch

From the beginning, Duke University Chapel was meant to serve the entire university. At the Service of Dedication in 1935, ministers from several faiths participated in the service, as well as officers of the university, faculty members, and students. Since then, the Chapel has served the University community in many ways. The Deans and campus ministers provide continuing opportunities for worship, study, and outreach. The Chapel hosts many weddings and funeral services for students, graduates, and employees each year. In addition, convocations and baccalaureates for various colleges of the university frequently take place in the Chapel. Past preachers have included the Rev. Billy Graham, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, The Reverend Charlene Kammerer, Rev. Dr. Peter Gomes, Dr. Samuel Proctor, just to name a few.

A variety of musical performances takes place each year. Recent groups to visit and perform at Duke University Chapel include the Durham Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys from Durham, England; the Tallis Scholars; and the North Carolina Boys Choir. The Duke University Chapel Choir is a strong and active choir. In addition to singing for Sunday worship during the academic year, the choir performs two oratorios a year, one of which is always Handel's MESSIAH, performed each December. Perhaps the most memorable performance of MESSIAH took place on the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The audience emerged from hearing Handel's marvelous work to be greeted by newsies and others announcing the bombing. The two greatest changes to the Chapel occurred in the 19705. In 1971, a fire sparked in the nave, destroying several pews and causing thousands of dollars in damage to the interior of the Chapel. The pews were replaced with wooden chairs, which proved to be something of a blessing; the chairs can be moved to accommodate an orchestra, risers, and other supports for concerts and liturgical dance performances. In 1976, the dedication of the Benjamin N. Duke Memorial Organ took place. The organ, built above the entrance to the nave, is the single most important addition to the building since its completion and dedication in the 19305. Established endowments and offerings help defray the cost of the upkeep of the fabric of the Chapel, enabling the Chapel to maintain its grandeur while still offering entrance and guided tours at no charge. continued on page 10

DUKE CHAPEL

CHRONICLE

continuedfrom page 8

The Stone Duke University Chapel is constructed of a volcanic stone from the Duke Quarry in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The lectern, pulpit and other trimmings were made from Indiana limestone. The vaults of the choir are made of stone, but the walls and vaults of the nave and transepts are made of Guastavino tile, a soundabsorbing material. This tile had to be coated with a sealant prior to the installation of the Flentrop. This increased the reverberation time, making the Chapel more suited to the sounds of the new organ

work of the choir, the 73-foot interior ceiling with its carved stone bosses, and over a million pieces of stained glass all combine to form one of the largest and most well-used university chapels in the United States.

Architects and Craftsmen The architects of the Chapel were Horace Trumbauer of Philadelphia and his chief designer, Julian Abele, America's first black architect of renown. Mr. Abele was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and in France.

Gothic To simply explain Gothic architecture is a difficult, even daunting task. It is an architecture of height-allowing for great height and space as well as for complex and delicate ornamentation. The Gothic era spans something of 500 years—the Middle Ages of England and Western Europe. Most Gothic cathedrals are not all of a pieceone might have a Norman nave, a Perpendicular choir, one window from the 13th century, others from the 15th, perhaps even later. Often a Gothic cathedral might be as many as two hundred years in the making—several generations of architects, stone cutters, and craftsmen. A later architect might tear down an entire wall erected the century before. Fire might destroy a delicate window, leaving only a few pieces of glass to be used in the panes of its replacement. But it was five years between the laying of the cornerstone to the Service of Dedication in 1935. Duke University Chapel might be described as a synthesis of the best of Gothic. While one is not able to see every characteristic from each period of Gothic architecture, one can experience the height, space, ornamentation and color of a Gothic cathedral. The decorative foliage at the base of the Memorial Chapel vaults, the intricate hand-carved wood-

DUKE PRIMATE CENTER Since coming to Duke from Yale University in 1966, the Primate Center has housed and studied the world’s largest and most diverse captive collection of rare prosimian primates (mostly lemurs from the island of Madagascar). As Madagascar’s population is currently doubling every 25 years, there is ever growing pressure for land, mainly for slash-and-burn agriculture. Therefore, the protection and preservation of these truly unique primates requires a holistic approach involving multiple strategies both in Madagascar and internationally. The Primate Center houses over 250 animals made up of 21 species and subspecies of prosimians. During a walking tour of the Center visitors are introduced to representatives from the species we house. A highlight on the tour is Jovian, the Coquerel’s sifaka who currently stars in the PBS hit show Zohoomafoo. Additionally, guests will see two species of lemur that are in captivity only at the Primate Center. The protected enclosures and captive breeding programs are designed to enable researchers from around the world to study these unique animals. Unlike a zoo, visitors are not allowed to tour the Center unescorted, but rather are asked to schedule appointments for a docent-guided walking tour of the facility. Admission fees directly support the primates. The University is currently offering limited bus service from the west campus bus stop. Please consult a schedule if you need transportation. For . additional information see our web site at www.duke.edu/web/primate and for appointments please call 919-489-3364.

Among the figures most influential in determining the intellectual and cultural shape of the twentieth (and now twenty-first) century was a nineteenth-century German loner named Friedrich Nietzsche. Yet, while the fact of his enormous influence is undeniable, the reasons for this have frequently proved much more difficult both to identify and to assess. Nietzsche has been the subject of at least as much misreading, distortion, and outright misrepresentation—both intentional and unintentional—as any other thinker in the tradition. What did Nietzsche actually believe? And how did he seek to convey his beliefs? Through close reading and intensive discussion of several of Nietzsche's major works—including The Birth of Tragedy, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy ofMorals, and Twilight of the Idols— this seminar will try to suggest some answers to these questions.

German Cultural Thinking: The 20th Century German 123A.03

Lutz Musner MW 2:20 3:35 -

Twentieth-century German thinkers sociologists Max Weber and George Simmel, philosophers Theodore Adorno and Jurgen Haberman, psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Lou Andreas- Salome, and radical Rosa Luxemburg have shaped the culture of our time.This course examines the world of these thinkers, and looks at how, after 1945, German writers sought to comprehend and transcend the experience of Nazism. -

Knowing German can give you a much better grasp of many disciplines (including chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, philosophy, medicine, psychology, international law and business, music, art history and archaeology), and enhance your career opportunities in the global marketplace.

Business German German 1005

Introduction to the language of commerce and industry; modes of expression for technology and marketing. Particular attention to cultural differences affecting German-American business transactions.

Advanced Grammar and Composition German 118S

Yvonne Ivory MW 11:50 12:40 -

This course is designed to further your overall German language proficiency at a very advanced level. It will focus on increasing your ability to express your own ideas as convincingly and precisely as possible. In particular, it will focus on the use of writing to foster your understanding of the varied communicative functions of language.We will read authentic texts from a variety of media and genre, each with a thematic focus. We will also analyze the various genre in terms of form, content, style, audience and purpose, emphasizing the process through which a writer creates and produces meaning. Through a process of carefully guided writing exercises, including free writing, composing as biographical drafts, peer editing and revising, you will practice writing various kinds of portraits, place descriptions, narratives, reports, reviews, argumentation and persuasion and literary interpretive essays.

Intro to German Literature German 122S

Michael Morton TTH 10:55 12:10 -

This seminar will introduce you to principal authors, genres, concepts and selected works of German literature from the eighteenth century to the present.

Rilke, Kafka, Mann German 126S

Frank Borchardt MW 2:20-3:35

An exploration of several literary figures who wrote in German in the early years of the twentieth century and whose writings have become World Literature: the lyrics of Rilke, Kafka's stories and parables, incl."D/e Verwandlung"(The Metamorphosis), "Das UrteiT' (Judgement), and Mann's Tonio Kroger.

http://www.german.duke.edu

James Rolleston TTh 10:55-1 2:10

Poetry is often thought to be the expression of an individual subjectivity; but it can equally be read as the purest vehicle of a "Zeitgeist." And since modernity installs the self at the center of history's dreams and possibilities, German poetry tells us intimately about what was widely felt and thought at a given moment of German history. We will read all the major poets of German modernity: Goethe, Hoelderlin, Schiller, Eichendorff, Heine, Moerike, Hofmannsthal, Rilke, the Expressionists, Benn, Brecht and Enzensberger; also those who can tell us most about the German world as lived before and after 1989. The course will probe the links between subjectivity, history and textuality, exploring the ways in which images become stale, only to be renewed through irony, allegory or collage.

Second Language Acquisition Theory and Practice

ingeborg Walther W 3:55 -6:25

German 261S

Overview of current research in the fields of second language acquisition and foreign language pedagogy, and its implications for the teaching of the German language, literature and culture at all levels. Readings and discussions on competing theories of language acquisition and learning, issues of cultural identity and difference, learner styles and the teaching of language as culture; training in contemporary teaching techniques and approaches.

WHY A BLUE DEVIL? THE STORY OF THE DUKE MASCOT ©

1992 William E. King, University Archivist. This article originally appeared in The Duke Dialogue February 28, 1992

During World War I the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed “les Diables Bleus,” were well known French soldiers. They first gained attention when their unique training and alpine knowledge was counted upon to break the stalemate of trench warfare in their native region of the French Alps. Unfortunately the Vosges Campaign in March, 1915, failed to alter the status quo even though the Blue Devils won accolades for their courage. However, their distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret captured public imagination. When the United States entered the war, units of the French Blue Devils toured the country helping raise money in the war effort. Irving Berlin captured their spirit in song describing them as “strong and active, most attractive . . . those Devils, the Blue Devils of France.” As the war was ending in Europe, the Trinity College Board of Trustees lifted its quarter-century ban of football on campus. After playing an intramural class first year the traditional nomenclature of the Trinity Eleven, the Blue and White or the Methodists (as opposed to the Baptists of nearby Wake Forest) described the team. In September, 1921, the student newspaper, the Trinity Chronicle, launched a campaign for a “catchy name, one of our own possession that would be instantly recognizable nationwide in songs, yells and publicity.” At a campus pep rally to stir up enthusiasm it was pointed out that Georgia Tech was gaining recognition as the “Golden Tornados” and that rival North Carolina State College had recently adopted the name “Wolf Pack.” There were numerous nominations including Catamounts, Grizzlies, Badgers, Dreadnaughts, and Captains which was in honor of the wellliked Coach W. W. “Cap” Card. Believing a choice utilizing continued on page 22

the school colors of dark blue and white to be appropriate, the newspaper editors urged a selection from among the nominations of Blue Titans, Blue Eagles, Polar Bears, Blue Devils, Royal Blazes, or Blue Warriors. None of the nominations won strong favor but Blue Devils apparently had enough support to elicit the criticism that it would arouse opposition on the Methodist campus “for obvious reasons,” and that it might prove risky and jeopardize football if a controversial name were used at that particular time. The football season passed with no official selection of a name.

returning veterans so the name needed no explanation.

Acknowledging that it was somewhat unpopular, they nevertheless believed it to be the best name nominated. Neither the college press nor the cheerleaders used the name that first year. In fact, The Chanticleer made fun of the selection and process by quoting someone saying "We will use blew dewies even if no one else does." Much to the editor's surprise no opposition materialized, not even from the college administration. The Chronicle staff continued its use and through repetition, Blue Devils eventually caught on.

As the campus leaders from the Class of 1923 made plans for their senior year, they decided to select a name since the desired results by democratic nomination and vote had been inconclusive. The editors of The Archive and The Chanticleer, two of the other student publications, agreed that the newspaper staff should choose a name and “put it over.” Thus William H. Lander, as editor-inchief, and Mike Bradshaw, as managing editor, of the Trinity Chronicle began the academic year 1922-23 referring to the athletic teams as the Blue Devils. Their class had been the first post-war freshmen and the student body was full of

Today the origin of the university mascot is virtually forgotten even though its instant, national recognition has long been established. With the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged throughout the country, the origin of Duke's Blue Devil is one of the most often requested items of information in the University Archives. Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more military and patriotic than religious. See the Duke University Archives on line at http://www.duke.edu/web/Archives

THE SOWER

1991 William E. King, University Archivist. This article originally appeared in Duke Dialogue, June 14, 1991

The Trinity Chronicle in November, 1914, announced that a bronze figure representing The Sower had recently been placed on campus as a gift of Mr. James B. Duke. Of all the statuary on campus that of the Sower, observable on the lawn between the entrance to East Campus and the East Duke building, is the only one not depicting a member of the Duke family or an historical figure of the college or university. To the university community today the statue's history is interesting, its part in campus tradition amusing, and its role enduring. At the time of the gift, John C. Kilgo, former president of Trinity College (1894-1910), was residing on campus as a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Kilgo was especially close to the Duke family and while visiting James B. Duke, he admired the statue which was part of the extensive landscaping at Duke's estate in New Jersey. Duke promptly donated the Sower to Trinity College. Kilgo was particularly drawn

the figure because of an

inspiring, popular bac-

on the parable of the sower from the Gospel of Matthew preached two years previously at Trinity commencement by his col-

calaureate

sermon

based

league Bishop W. T. McDowell. Kilgo also admired the statue’s “strength and nobleness of face and the strong arm with which the laborer faced his daily toil.” He believed the statue would be a powerful model for students as they completed four years of study and faced the challenge of life. Duke had discovered the Sower while on a grand tour of Europe and purchased it in Leipsic. The Chronicle reported that the statue was signed by St. Walter but that no information was available about the sculptor. An inscription on the statue reveals that it was a production of the Gladenbeck Foundry in Freidrechshagen near Berlin. Research has revealed that the sculptor was Stephan Anton Friedrich Walter, bom in Numberg in 1871. A catalog from the Great Berlin Exhibition of Art in 1911 reveals that Walter had been an independent sculptor since 1898 and he first participated in the Berlin exhibition in 1899. Among his works was a figure entitled “Sower From The Time of the Great Elector.” Thus the figure is that of a seventeenth century peasant sowing his fields. The university statue is

undoubtedly a small scale version of the heroic size figure believed to have been made for the Neiderbariner Hospital in Berlin. Unfortunately little else is known about Stephan Walter. A few additional works are noted and he is identified as a member of the Union of Berlin Artists in the 1928 edition of Wer Ist’s?, the German version of Who’s Who. On campus the statue assumed a role unanticipated by Bishop Kilgo. At a time when women students were permitted only three dates a week and those were carefully defined, students could stroll about certain areas of campus without it counting as an allowed date. The Sower acquired the role of cupid as couples began placing pennies in his hand and claiming a kiss from their partner if the pennies were gone upon return. Although the origin of this practice is largely unknown, and it is unnecessary to most students today, it is not uncommon to still discover pennies in the Sower's hand. Campus wags have had fun with the statue as well. Parents have characterized it as a student with a hand out for money, and a campus caretaker reportedly told visitors for years that it was a statue of Mr. Duke sowing his money. In 1980 at the urging of staff member Rebekah Kirby, the Founders’ Society adopted the figure as its symbol. Franklin Creech, an alumnus of the class of 1964, has fashioned a remarkable replica of the Sower that is twelve inches high which the university presents to designated donors at the annual meeting of the Founders’ Society on Founders’ Day in the Fall. The Founders' Society honors individuals who establish named, permanent, fully-funded endowments thus providing for the future of Duke University. By reason of their generosity, these founders are sowing that future generations will reap the harvest of their labor.

The Sower maintains a unique position in the history of the university. First revered by Trinity College students, it became a special symbol for residents of the Woman’s College when East Campus was exclusively for women. Now it has become a university symbol acknowledging the need and expressing gratitude

for continuing, vital financial support. See the Duke University Archives on line at http://www.duke.edu/web/Archives

The West Campus Main Quad Dormitories produce garbage that is equal to throwing away 135 cars a year. Duke Recycles processed 175 tons of newspaper last year. This is equivalent to saving more than all of the trees on East Campus. The United States represents 5% of the world's population, uses 25% of the world's resources and produces 30% of the world's garbage. Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet. Americans discard over 4 million tons of paper a year enough to build a 12 foot wall from New York to California. -

Duke Recycles recently finished its fiscal year and with your help over the past two semesters, we are on pace for another record breaking finish. Though the final numbers are not in as of this Send Home Issue, we estimate that we will break the 1,241 ton mark of recycled goods that we processed this year. Duke Recycles would like to thank you for your efforts in helping us reach this goal. It all begins with you sorting your materials properly. Hopefully, through our collective teamwork, we can have another record breaking campaign next year and ensure that Duke University maintains its status as a good environmental citizen.

Why Study Political Science? Political Science has been called "the queen of the sciences", and rightly so. It is the only major where you can obtain practical knowledge and at the same time gain insights into the great issues of our age. What, for example, are the causes and institutional forces behind a conflict between the President and the chairman of a congressional committee. Are nations threatening an armed confrontation? What lies behind the conflict? Is there a public and media frenzy over a certain policy? Why do people react this way and is it justified? What is the human condition? What is the meaning of civil society, and what is the individual's place in it? When you study political science you will think about these questions often. You will be able to answer them better than you could otherwise thanks to an understanding of the Presidency and Congress, international relations, political ideologies, and political theory. The knowledge and critical skills gained from the study of politics will enable you to be a more rational citizen, a more constructive participant in public affairs, and a better professional in any vocation that deals with the public domain.

Perhaps

you are just beginning to think about buying a home sometime in the future. Or maybe you have already found a home you would like to buy. Whether you hope to buy a home soon, or in a number of years, it is very important to look at your personal or family financial situation. If you do not have and use a written budget and keep records of your spending and saving, now is the time to begin!

Too often, people think only about saving enough money to get into a house. They forget that the expenses of homeownership can include not only costs such as closing costs, down payment and mortgage payments, but also regular maintenance costs, homeowners insurance, property taxes,

repairs, furnishings, major appliances, and much more! When you begin shopping for a mortgage loan, show your budget and records to the lender to demonstrate that you are a good credit risk. First you need to find out exactly what is in your credit record. Ask the nearest credit bureau for a copy of your credit report so that you know what it says. If you find errors, you can ask for corrections. If you’ve had credit problems in the past, you can learn how to reduce the risk of future problems and improve your credit record through good budgeting and record keeping. Knowing what is in your report before you apply for a loan is a good investment. To obtain a copy of your credit report, contact the major credit bureaus listed:

Box 8030, Layton, UT 84041-8030, (800) 392-1122.

Making a Budget Spell out your financial goals. Look at your net worth and think about how much of your assets you would be willing to use in order to buy a home. If you do not yet have enough money for a down payment and other one-time costs, you will want to increase your savings (and your income, if possible) to help you reach that goal. If your debt load is too large, your first goal will be to spend less, use less credit, and reduce the amount of debt you owe. Estimate your gross and net income for the coming year. Look at last year’s income and think about possible changes in the coming year. Include only income that you are confident will be available. Also look down the road and think about how stable your income will be for many years of mortgage payments and other housing expenses.

Analyze your current financial situation. Look at your credit situation. Think about each debt and the amount of payments due each month. Ask yourself what changes you must make or want to make in the coming year. Look at last year’s average expenses.

Think about each item, and ask yourself what changes you must make, and others that you want to make. Look at ydur savings and investments. Think about how much you can set aside each month to increase them. Make a plan for the use of net income in the coming year. Spell out your planned monthly payments for all long-term debt obligations. Your lender will calculate the percentage of debt payments in comparison with your gross income to see if it falls within specific guidelines. Subtract the amount needed for debt payments from your estimated net income. Write down your monthly estimates for all family living expenses except housing, and figure the total. Subtract these estimated non-housing expenses total from the amount left. Estimate each of the average monthly expenses for a house in the price range you are considering, and figure the total. A lender or realtor can help you estimate mortgage payment (principal and interest), taxes, and insurance. Compare your estimated housing expenses with your estimated available income. Is money still available for savings and investments? If the income available is not equal to or greater than estimated expenses, it’s time to re-evaluate your situation.

Prepare an actual budget for the coming year that will guide your spending and help you reach your goals. Remember: a budget is a flexible tool to help you reach your goals continued on page 8

Even

as interest rates inch up from 30year lows, homeowners still may want to consider the potential benefits of refinancing their mortgages. In the refinancing process, you pay off an existing mortgage and take out a new loan. Typically, you will provide similar information and follow the same basic procedures you did when you first applied for your mortgage. However, you may be able to include the closing costs in the refinancing and incur expenses only for an appraisal, credit report and flood certification which is usually less than $4OO.

Many homeowners refinance their mortgages to reduce the interest rate and monthly payments.

However, there are other reasons for this financial decision, and your decision should be guided by careful evaluation of your reasons for refinancing and the benefits you hope to achieve

example, you may want to reduce your loan term or replace an loan adjustable-rate with a fixed-rate loan. During times when interest rates are higher, some homeowners select adjustable rate mortgages, which typically may offer lower interest rates during the early years than fixedrate loans. When rates come down, people with ARM loans may consider refinancing to a fixed-rate loan in order to take advantage of a lower rate and maintain it for the life of the mortgage. For

Refinancing also can be a sensible By Anne Watson, Mortgage Loan Consultant for Wachovia Mortgage Company, Durham option if you want to manage finances your There are situations when you may want to consider refinancing a fixed-rate mortgage to an ARM. If you better by consolidating existing debt or to borrow money for a particular reason such as to purchase a feel constrained by the expenses of your current car or pay college tuition. A “cash-out” refinance mortgage, an ARM may provide the benefit of lower allows you to tap the equity that has accumulated in payments. However, you should keep in mind that an home. your Typically, you can get a "cash out" refiARM can increase. If you intend on selling your home in an amount equivalent to 75 percent of the nancing to of time, this may be an in a oneseven-year period total value of your home. option to consider. In addition to interest rates, the refinancing equation should include consideration of the cost of refinancing as well as the amount of equity built up in your home. If the main reason you are refinancing is to lower the monthly then the payment, number of months it will take to recoup your closing costs is very important. You would want to realize your potential savings before selling your home. For example, if it costs $2,500 to refinance, and the interest savings totals $lOO each month, then it will take 25 months to recover those costs. In this situation, you might not want to refinance unless you intend to stay

As an example, if your home is valued at $150,000 and you currently owe $BO,OOO on it, you may qualify for a cash-out refinance for $112,500. In this case, refinancing would give you $32,500 in cash (minus closing costs) to use for other financial obligations.

When you are ready to shop for the best refinancing deal, you may want to contact several local mortgage lenders. Because there are several variables, you might want to make a refinancing comparison chart. This will-help you take a systematic approach to analyzing the rates, closing costs and other fees or terms. Remember that interest rates do change often, sometimes daily. So you should record the date of your rate quote. If you contact potential lenders on the same day, you likely will get a more accurate comparison. Some financial institutions provide interactive capabilities for figuring potential savings on refinancing. Wachovia's Web site at www.wachovia.com, for example, provides an extensive section on refinancing, including several calculators that can help you make your decision.

Tips for Buying I

J By

John D. Loftin,

Ph.D.(Duke '83);

Select a realtor of your choice. The realtor has access to a multiple listing service and can show you what is available in the area. ask If the property is in a subdivision be sure the realtor for a copy of the restrictive covenants and road maintenance agreement. Make sure that they are acceptable to you. Once you have signed the contract, you are bound by those provisions. Also be sure to ask the realtor about the schools in that area if you have children. Ask the realtor how far you will have to travel to work and what will the traffic be like. You should also discuss with your realtor before signing a contract any applicable zoning or land use laws that may effect the property. to

Be sure to have an experienced real estate attorney review any written contract for the sale of real estate before you sign it to make sure that it protects your rights and interests. Once the contract is signed you should have the home inspected for structural soundness and pest damage and the land inspected for environmental problems such as toxic waste, underground storage tanks, etc.

Once a loan is approved, insist on an experienced real estate attorney of your choice to handle the closing.

J.D

A survey may be required and, if it is, you should contact the surveyor soon because this may take several weeks. Whether required or not, you should have the property surveyed if the monuments marking the corners of the property are not visible to the naked eye. Does the creek flood? Check is located in a flood zone.

These are general suggestions and are not intended as legal advice. Each real estate transaction is unique and there are a few rules applicable to every one. Every prospective buyer should consult with an experienced real estate attorney when buying any real estate.

Financial counselors suggest that you lake a good look at your current financial situation before you prepare a budget to guide your future spending. Your housing expenses should consume no more than 25 33% of your net income (about one week’s income.) If you develop a good budget, but do not keep a record of your expenses, you’re wasting your time. If the budget you’ve developed shows that you do have enough income to pay both the operating costs and future occasional costs for a home of your own, you’re ready to begin looking at houses in your price range. Be sure to study the housing market to determine whether current interest rates and local housing costs are acceptable. Keep good financial records while you wait, and practice planning your purchases, controlling credit use, and increasing your savings. Get in the habit at the end of each month of comparing your expenses to your budget plan. If you need to, you can revise your budget, or you may need to discipline your spending and use of credit; remind yourself to stop and think before you spend money for things that aren’t a part of your plan and would delay your reaching your goal of home ownership. -

Some Facts You Should Know

lumber used to build most decks and other outdoor structures is treated with compounds that contain arsenic, and some precautions should be taken to prevent getting the toxin into your system. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t consider the risk severe.The EPA has been urging retailers for years to inform pressure-treated lumber customers about the handling requirements for the material, but local stores don’t always issue the proper warnings to do-it-yourselfers.

THE LOWDOWN ON TREATED WOOD PRODUCTS

here are some of the facts you should know

After the lumber is cut, the CCA, Chromated Copper Arsenate, is applied under pressure so that it penetrates through the wood. The treatment protects the wood from insects such as termites, dry rot, mold and fungus.

James Cummings

The EPA announced earlier this month that it is “conducting a comprehensive assessment of CCA-treated wood” that will examine, among other things, the possibility that arsenic from CCA-treated playground equipment can accumulate in surrounding soil.

Wood treated with CCA lasts about five times longer than untreated wood, which makes it important for preserving utility poles, boardwalks and outdoor play equipment as well as decks.

The ERA said it was also working with the American Wood Preservers Institute, a treated lumber trade organization, to improve its public education efforts. The institute has suggested labeling each individual treated board with a warning instead of posting information nearby. The institute also plans to establish a toll-free hotline and a Web site.

CCA does not protect from water damage, however. That’s why pressure-treated wood must be sealed periodically.

According to the EPA’s Web site, the EPA reviewed the use of CCA to treat wood during the 1980s and concluded that CCA-treated wood did not pose unreasonable risks based on studies that evaluated the potential for absorption through the skin.

Handling Treated Lumber The EPA considers pressure-treated lumber safe for do-it-yourself use, but you have to follow a few simple guidelines. Here are some tips from Consumer Information Sheet developed by Universal Forest Products Inc.:

The EPA was concerned enough, however, to issue health regulations for people who work with CCA on a daily basis. And while the agency didn’t require the treated-lumber industry to inform casual customers about the danger, the industry agreed to a voluntary information program.

Avoid frequent or prolonged inhalation of sawdust from treated wood. When sawing and machining treated wood, wear a dust mask. Whenever possible, working treated wood should be done outdoors to

•

Cox News Service

avoid accumulations of airborne sawdust You may use treated lumber inside residences as

long as all the sawdust and debris are removed. Do not use treated wood for kitchen cutting boards or countertops, or any other surface that comes in direct contact with food or animal feed. Only wood that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used for patios, decks, walkways.

Dispose of treated wood scraps by ordinary trash disposal. Treated wood should not be burned in open fires or in stoves, fireplaces or residential boilers because toxic chemicals may be produced in the smoke and ashes. When power sawing or using power sanders, wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from flying particles

If you have been working with treated wood, wash exposed areas of your body thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking Launder clothes soiled by treated-lumber sawdust or preservatives separately from other clothing.

However, some pieces, such as the imposing media center in Habersham’s licensed Plaza Collection and Raymond Waites’ generously sized kitchen island for Laneventure, take the aged-andshabby look to new levels of deception. Broyhill has tuned into the vintage craze with its expanding Attic Heirlooms Collection of furniture that looks right off the floor of an antiques mall.

The walls are high, white and handsome, and there’s even a Julian Schnabel painting leaning up against one in true TrißeCa fashion. But underfoot is no longer honey-colored hardwood, nor walnut-stained hardwood, nor terrazzo, polished concrete or any other trendy flooring. Instead, Rowley laid down wall-to-wall, wool velvet broadloom carpet, in white.

Betsky counts himself among its boosters. “We just laid down a rich blue wool wall-towall carpet in the house here,” he said. “I have to say, I do like it.”

“I just walk in, take off my shoes, and I’m relaxed,” said

Rowley. “It’s like a bathrobe for the whole house.” Slowly, quietly, wall-to-wall carpet is rolling back onto the design scene. Homeowners and designers are dipping their toes into the seamless, plush pile of broadloom and finding overlooked virtues. They are also realizing its assets can outweigh its less savory association as the official flooring of tract housing across the nation.

“People recoil in horror when I tell them I use wallto-wall,” said Michael Formica, a Manhattan designer. “They think of 1953 and Levittown, or some sticky aunt somewhere who had wall-to-wall, and they’ve never forgotten it.” Aaron

Betsky,

does Formica, who used it in every room in his apartment in New York. His choice was a Wilton carpet in medium gray, a flat, low-pile style by V’soske, whose lavish carpets start at $75 a square foot and climb rapidly from there.

Wall-to-wall, or “fitted carpet’ as the English call it, first came about in the 17405, when the Wilton Carpet Factory, founded in 1655 in Wiltshire, England, began making repeating-pattern cut-pile carpet in long rolls of 27-inch widths. Wilton carpets, as they came to be known, could be seamed to any size and they caught on fast. By the 1760s stylish Americans among them George Washington and the Baron de Botetourt, then governor of Virginia had yards of imported

But people cannot let go of those wood floors for some reason.” Facing down the wood-floor prejudice has been easier lately, said Jeffrey Bilhuber, a Manhattan interior designer who rated his favorite carpets in the Formica

really lousy in the ’6os and 705,” he said. Acrylic fibers, in particular, had a tendency to fuzz and pill. “But really that’s the fault of the materials, which got cheaper and cheaper, not the carpet.” comfort Two of wall-to-wall’s foremost virtues underfoot and good soundproofing make it well suited for bedrooms, hallways and children’s rooms, and it is in these rooms that more people are going wall-to-wall first. But broadloom’s new fans point out that it also has virtues in the showoff rooms. “It really pulls the whole house together,” said the designer Mario Buatta. “That’s what Sister Parrish always did,” he said of the great American designer. “She’d put the same color carpet, like a vanilla, in every room of the house. People would be horrified, but it really unified those projects to have this underlying common thread wherever you looked.”

quality broadloom, especially made of wool, is selling again. At ABC Carpet, in Manhattan, said Head, sales of broadloom have risen 40 percent over the last two or three years.

Sarah Herda, Storefront’s owner and director, said, “It was the most remarkable thing that’s ever been done to our space.” Rem Koolhaas, with whom Blaisse works, plans to use it in his new design for the Seattle Public Library.

Atlanta, Larry Mahurter, the director of advertising for Couristan, a carpet maker and importer based in New Jersey, said, “Sales of broadloom were up 23 percent over last year.” He said that greater range of pattern and texture may be enticing more people to buy. At a trade show last week in

Still,

One wall-to-wall pattern, developed last year by a Dutch designer, Petra Blaisse has even won the hearts of such vanguard architects as Richard Gluckman. A photo print of grass and plants, the carpeting was shown in New York last year at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in SoHo. “It has a

taste

“That,” she said, basking

in her $45-a-yard triumph,

“is just what I like about it.”

Wall-to-wall’s future was secured by French Protestant weavers who fled France in the 1680s after the Edict of Nantes, guaranteeing religious freedom, was revoked by Louis XTV. Legend has it they were smuggled out of France in wine barrels by the Wilton factory’s owner. The factory is still going strong more than 300 years later, at www.wiltoncarpets.com.

In the 1830s, advances in textile machinery made carpets accessible to more people. Still, wall-to-wall Wilton, as well as its less-costly cousin, Axminster, stayed in demand in the United States as a rarefied taste (often sold in single-room-size bales at carpet centers). In Massachusetts, Erastus Bigelow patented the first power carpet loom in the 1840’s, and the first carpet broadloom in the 1870s. In 1905, the English firm Brintons produced carpet on a loom 15 feet wide. By 1930, the looms were common enough that demand for broadloom carpet began to rise, as tapestry’s popularity faded. Wall-to-wall was soon associated with sleek modernity. In Hollywood, the rich colors of a clean, patternfree broadloom carpet were a welcome addition to sets filmed in Technicolor: Fredric March’s office in “A Star Is Born” (1937) boasts a brick red carpet; the clean offices of Modern himself, the architect Howard Roark (played by Gary Cooper) in “The Fountainhead” (1949), are laid with a light wall-towall, as is Blandings’ dream house (1948). Carpeting reached perhaps its greatest glory two decades later in “Barbarella” (1968), in Jane Fonda’s spaceship was carpeted in shag that matched her hair. After World War 11, wall-to-wall went hand-in-hand with the low, long horizontal lines of modern houses and furniture. In the 19405, workers in Georgia’s large chenille-bedspread industry began to apply tufting machinery to carpet, producing it up to 10 times faster than weaving could. Then in the early 19505, manmade fibers like nylon helped tufted broadloom rapidly overtake the entire woven broadloom industry. By the mid-19605, tufted carpeting was being made so cheaply that high-quality woven carpet makers, like Chenille Axminster, started to falter and fold. But as with any wild spree, a hangover was coming. By the mid-’7os, wall-to-wall had become the indoor equivalent of crabgrass. Fine wood floors became a central part of a new design ethic that valued authenticity and natural fibers above all else. Instead of rugs, homeowners began to choose sisal. In the early 90’s, when many consumers wearied of sisal’s cruel-tobare-feet texture, and fragility, a paradoxical compromise was born; broadloom carpet woven to look just like sisal. Graham Head, president of ABC Carpet & Home, said the vogue for wool sisal might have prompted people

Bottom freezer: Good for tall people and older people, who don’t have to bend over as much. Not so then you’ll do a lot of great if you use a lot of ice stooping. Fewer models are available, and prices are higher. For easier access, look for models with slideout drawers or baskets in the freezer. Similar in space requirements and energy use to a top freezer. Under-counter: Wine coolers, ice-makers and refrigerator drawers that blend into cabinetry. Some are designed for outdoor kitchens.

Before Shopping carefully, allowing enough room for door swing and clearance for air circulation. The doors of some new models open within the refrigerator’s footprint and don’t require extra space. Make sure doorways are wide enough to permit delivery. Measure the space

Think about how the refrigerator will fit into your kitchen. Even if it slides neatly into an existing cutout, is the model you’re considering going to overwhelm your kitchen by sticking out too far past the cabinets? Know which way the door needs to swing. Consider your family’s eating habits in deciding what size refrigerator to buy. Do you store a lot of frozen foods? Consider a side-by-side, which has a larger freezer compartment (albeit narrow shelves). Need space for tall items or oversize ones? A top or bottom freezer might be best; In general, a family of four needs at least an 18-cubic-foot refrigerator, but if you entertain frequently or freeze a lot of food, you’ll probably need a bigger model.

Doors and handles may project beyond cabinets. Built-in: Also 24 inches deep and much taller than most refrigerators about 84 inches because the compressor is on the top.

Features to Consider You can buy a stripped-down model that will keep food cold or load up a refrigerator with a host of special features.

Closet Organization Tips Take inventory; Begin by noticing everything you want to store in a particular closet. This includes hanging and folded clothing, shoes, accessories, linens and other items. Clean house: Donate or have a garage sale for anything you don’t wear or use anymore. If you haven’t worn it in a year or two, get rid of it. Remove barriers:

If you have a lone closet rod for hanging clothes, remove it. One rod severely limits your ability to visualize available space and does not allow you to double-hang clothing. Measure your entire closet, noting the height and width of doors and door frames. Also make a note of built-in shelves, fuse boxes, cables, ducts and other obstructions. Write down ideas: On a piece of grid paper, sketch out a closet plan. Indicate where you want to place shelves, drawers and hanging clothes. This will help you select the storage system that best meets your needs. Use all available space: Be sure to select a closet system and completion products that maximize all available space, including vertical space from floor to ceiling and the space behind the door. Store sweaters and other winter items in a different space, such as under a bed. Keeping shoes in their original boxes means they can be stacked, freeing more space. store in clear plastic boxes.

Anyone

who rents a home or apartment might wonder if getting insurance would be necessary. If you don’t own the building, then why buy insurance? A renter’s liability isn’t much different than that of a homeowner, and the renter’s personal, property and liability are not covered by the landlord’s insurance policy. Renters insurance will protect many things in the home like stereos, furniture, computers, jewelry, televisions and other valuables that would be expensive to replace if any of these items were stolen, damaged or destroyed. It can also provide some protection for personal property while on vacation of away from home.

page 25

Protection For Your Belongings

INSURANCE WHEN YOU RENT

Many renters don’t realize exactly how much they

have invested in their personal belongings. After all, how much furniture and clothing can be in just a typical three- or four-room apartment? Think about it—what would it cost to replace the clothing in a closet alone? $1000? $1500? More? Add to that personal stereo equipment, books, computer, furniture and appliances and the replacement costs might add up into the thousands of dollars! Many renters believe that insurance is not affordable. However, compared with other forms of insurance, renter’s insurance is relatively inexpensive. When considering the high cost of replacing personal belongings or defending a lawsuit and paying a judgment, renters cannot afford to be without insurance.

What Does Renter's Insurance Cover? Renters insurance can provide both property and liability coverage. It can protect property from damage due to fire, lightening, windstorms, hail, explosions, smoke, falling objects, theft, water damage from

police and the insurance agent will have something solid and dependable from which to work. Another way to determine how much insurance is needed is to ask the insurance agent

plumbing or appliances, or damage due to the weight of ice, sleet or snow. Personal liability coverage provides protection in case of accidental bodily injury to others or damage to the property of others. It usually applies regardless of where the incident occurs and covers relatives who live with the renter (such as a child, parent, etc.) This coverage also pays legal defense costs and attorney fees if a suit is filed. Medical coverage pays the medical expense of others who are accidentally injured while in the home with permission, or elsewhere if the injuries are caused by the renter’s actions. Research the insurance policy for more information about more specific types of coverages.

How Much Is "Enough"? There are at least two ways to determine how much insurance is needed on personal property. One is to take a complete inventory of the possessions by listing each item, when it was acquired and the purchase price or current value. Total this list up and you will have a rough idea of what the personal property is worth. This process is handy for maintaining an accurate inventory in case of damage or theft (especially if photos of the entries are included). Put the list in a bank deposit box or some other safe place. Should something “unthinkable” happen, the

estimate

the total value of the belongings. Some companies now have ways of determining the approximate cost of replacing possessions based on the size or number of rooms in the rental unit.

Cash Value or Guaranteed Replacement? Once the approximate value of the personal belongings is determined, the decision of actual cash value coverage or guaranteed replacement coverage needs to be made. Actual cash value usually means current replacement costs less depreciation. Guaranteed replacement coverage does not deduct for depreciation. In terms of $l,OOO worth of furniture, actual cash value would deduct depreciation costs (say one-third), and present you with a payment of approximately $666 ($l,OOO less $334). A guaranteed replacement coverage policy would present a payment of $l,OOO. Personal property insurance can protect investments, but a policy must be chosen to be sure that all possessions are covered. Some possessions, like business property, silverware, or jewelry, are often subject to category limits in terms of dollars. continued on page 41

CHOOSING PAINT

I’m sorry, but even if I wanted my walls to dress better than I do, I’m not going out of my way to employ a painting technique that costs more and takes longer than regular painting. In fact, I do as little regular painting as possible. But if you have to paint a room or two, now’s a popular time to do the job.

By James Cummings

take short-napped rollers; textured walls require longer nap. Plastic dropcloths come in handy, but avoid dropcloths that are 1 mil thick or less. They’re hard to handle and puncture easily. Canvas dropcloths are better if you’re going to be doing a lot of painting. They’re absorbent and less likely to cause you to slip and fall. Here are some •

tips for getting a room ready

Areas previously painted with oil-based paint can be repainted with latex paint, but a primer coat must be applied first, Kauflin said. It’s a good idea

REAL

“Gloss,” the shiniest paint grade, sheds stains well and can be washed, but gloss paints make blemishes and uneven surfaces more obvious. Gloss paints are sometimes used for cabinets and trim in kitchens and bathrooms.

“Flat” paint has no shine, and “eggshell” has a bit more. They’re typically used for bedrooms, where the walls don’t take a lot of abuse. “Satin” is the most popular type of paint for walls in living rooms, family rooms and dining rooms. “Semigloss,” which is a little shinier than satin but not as shiny as gloss, is used for kitchen and bathroom walls and for trim in rooms painted with satin paint.

If you’re using a custom-blended color, start by purchasing a small can. Paint the inside of a closet or some other inconspicuous area and decide if you like the color on the wall before buying enough paint for the whole job. Custom-blended paints can’t be returned. Latex paints require synthetic brushes of polyester or $2 or $3 for a 3-inch brush nylon. Cheap brushes might have bristles that pull out and mix with paint, so pay a little more for decent quality. You’ll need at least one small, angled brush for trim and one wider brush for small surfaces. It also pays to buy good-quality roller covers. Make sure the roller cover matches the paint you’re using and the texture on your walls. Smooth walls

The cheapest paints about $lO to $l5 a gallon are often more trouble than they’re worth. They spatter and drip and don’t cover old colors well. The most expensive paints $35 or more per gallon are easier to use than average paints, but the typical do-it-yourselfer probably won’t want to pay so much more for a slight improvement in quality.

Tom Kauflin, manager of Miller Bros. Paints in Kettering, said customers buying oil-based interior paints these days are using it primarily to repaint trim that was previously painted with oil-based paint.

The rule of thumb for buying the right interior paint and other materials is to go middle-of-the-road.

Expect to spend about $lB to $25 per gallon of paint, and, in most cases, you’ll be using an acrylic latex paint. Latex paint is water based, so it cleans up easily with a little soap and water. It also dries quickly. The other option is oil-based paint, which requires solvents for clean-up and dries more slowly but more smoothly.

DECORATING WITH PLANTS

This doesn’t mean you have to paint your walls brilliant red or bright yellow. Instead, deliver the same message by using flowers and foliage to create eyecatching color combinations. Outdoor garden designs and color schemes are created by weaving a tapestry of color, texture and form into flower beds and borders. And, as in painting, the skillful use of color in the garden can be used to create harmony and contrast, and to lengthen views or bring distance closer.

By Olwen Woodier creamy yellow or peachy colors on the dining table will stimulate conversations and appetites.” While red signals a warm welcome, experts say that this empowering color also makes the heart pound harder. To create an unforgettable impression for a very special occasion, try filling your foyer with red roses, or take Eiseman’s advice and add a bouquet of red flowers to your bathroom.

Some colorful flowering plants to grow in humid bathroom environments include orchids, African violets and Cape primroses. These plants like bright, indirect light from an east or west window. If your bathroom faces northwest, rotate flowering plants frequently and choose carefree foliage plants such as ferns, philodendrons and spider plants for the long-'

The same ideas also apply to indoor plant arrangements. Instead of nurturing plants because they produce beautiful flowers or because they are green and large, interior decorators and color experts suggest that they are away to add charm, character and color to interior space. One pot of flowers can be pleasing, striking even: But when several pots are grouped in a basket, or several plants are placed in a large container, the effect can be dramatic. The size of the space where your plants will be located will influence whether you display your creations on the floor, a low table or somewhere closer to eye level.

When creating a plant display, consider how plant sizes will affect the room. When space is plentiful, tall branching trees like ficus and Norfolk pine can create an attractive focal point. In less spacious rooms, choose the more delicate, upright growth of bamboo and aralia. To create the illusion of a large plant in a small space, train a philodendron up a tall

The best way to make flowering plant selections is to consider how your color schemes and rooms might benefit from their foliage or flowers. For example, to inject warmth and vigor into a cold, white room, choose flower colors ranging in a harmonious blend of reds, oranges and yellows all hues that fall on the warm side of the color wheel. To soften the sharp lines of stark corners, place tall, bright-green foliage plants directly into the 90-degree angle behind flowering plants that have strong, warm colors. Because warm colors tend to come forward in space, placing vivid flqwers in a corner or at the end of a long passage helps to shorten the distance. A large grouping of delicate pastels, on the other hand, helps to extend the distance and create a more

expansive look. When pale colors are used, they recede into the space and elongate the depth. To energize a cool pale-blue environment, add foliage and flowers that range from blue to green-yellow, or blue to purple-red. Neutral rooms those decorated in beige, ivory, are the easiest to decorate. Choose peach or gray flowers with warm, vivid colors or those with cool, deep colors. Or combine the two for more impact.

During the gray days of winter and spring, introduce warmth into indoor spaces with chrysanthemums, azaleas, hydrangeas, hibiscus, miniature roses, tulips and other nursery-raised outdoor plants. This is also the time to enjoy pots of amaryllis, paperwhites and clivia, and to grow pre-forced bulbs of hardy daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, tulips and snowdrops. Eiseman explained that it is possible to create a lively, or peaceful or warm environment to reflect personality. “We say that yellow evokes a cheerful response and encourages communication. In fact.

Dress up a sun-drenched window located next to hot air ducts with cacti and succulents that thrive in desert-like conditions. Different varieties of cacti, such as golden barrel, bunny ears and column cactus, produce spikes, hairs and flowers.

plant starts to bloom before moving it from a bright location to the lower light found in the center or corner of a room. However, to keep transient plants growing vigorously and blooming freely, move them in and out of their optimum growing locations every few weeks. When grouping plants that prefer bright or indirect bright light in a low-light area for long periods, artificial lighting is recommended. While overhead “grow” lights are the most efficient, any kind of lighting from above, below or from the side is also beneficial.

By moving your plants around the house, not only can you enjoy the way they enhance different rooms, you can also find out where they grow best.

EQUAL HOUSING

Housing Guide

inding the right place to call home can be a rewarding experience or a frustrating and financially draining one! Nearly one-third of all U.S. householders are renters. If you are considering renting, you need to make a lot of decisions about where to rent and what type of structure to rent. You also need to know your rights and responsibilities under landlord-tenant law.

Know What You Want and What You Can Afford When renting you must decide how you want to live. What is and what is not important to you and your family? Next determine a price range into which your rent and all other housing costs can fit. Your total monthly housing costs rent, furniture, utilities, telephone, maintenance fees, and insurance should not exceed 25 to 30 percent of your monthly take-home pay (approximately one week’s take-home pay). -

Where you choose to live may be influenced by how far it is to your work, your children’s schools, shopping, your church, recreational facilities, the type and condition of neighborhood, and your need for personal security.

Learn How to Find What You Want As you search for housing, check with friends who may live in the areas that interest you. Read want ads

and check with rental agencies. If you are moving into a new locality, your employer may be able to provide some leads. Once you have found several possibilities, take the time to mentally “live” in each of the choices. Think about a typical day’s routine for your family. Can each of your family members get up, get ready, and get off to the day’s business without running over one another? Measure to make

Is there space and facilities to do the things you want and need to do? What are the average utility costs? If you are thinking of renting an apartment, consider possible problems. These might include: noise from passing traffic, other apartments, plumbing, and hallways; infrequent trash pickup; poor parking facilities; poor maintenance of entrances, halls, and grounds; and heating and air-conditioning systems that do not work well.

Know Your Legal Obligations/Rights A lease is a contract in which the landlord gives the tenant the right to use and possess property for a

specified term in return for rent. The purpose of a lease is to detail the rights and duties of the tenant and landlord. To be enforceable, the lease must meet certain requirements. Both parties must' be of legal age. A lease must: •

prove. Have all your agreements documented. The rights and obligations of the landlord and tenant are established both by law and by the rental agreement. If you have a question about your rights as tenant, first check your lease. If you do not find the answer to your question in your lease, seek professional advice. Do not try to resolve the problem without first finding out what are your legal rights and obligations. Generally, self-help remedies are not available to either the tenant or the landlord. Your landlord may not cut off utilities or lock you out of the rental property in lieu of a court procedure to evict you. You may not withhold rent to force the landlord to make repairs without the court’s permission. Knowing your rights and obligations is the first step in resolving any problems with your landlord.

or those with limited (or nonexistent) yard space, container gardening presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of plants. But there is no need to limit yourself to the old standards! Be adventurous! Nearly anything that can be grown outdoors can also be grown in a pot. You’ve just got to supply the right conditions (e.g. an oak tree would need a very large pot!).

CONTAINER GARDENS By Paul

G. McKenzie,

Horticulture Extension Agent, Durham, North Carolina

If you do have a sunny window, consider growing herbs indoors. Not only are they attractive and fragrant, but they also provide a fresh source of cuttings for cooking. Basil, oregano, rosemary, chives, and many others are prime candidates. If you’re blessed with a deck or patio, the possibilities expand greatly. Again, the first step is to look at your light levels. Full sun gives you the greatest number of options, which is defined as at least 5

edible crops. Tomatoes are the obvious choice, but why not try greens, bush beans, radishes, or eggplants. You could even grow an apple or pear tree, just be sure to get one with a dwarfing rootstock.

Granted, the more elaborate you

get, the more maintenance it will require. Water is the key ingredient, and the cause of most container garden problems. Over-watering is just as bad as under-watering. There’s no universal schedule, you just have to monitor the needs of the individual plants. Frequency will vary with pot size, type of plant, air temperature, and type of potting medium. In the heat of the summer, some plants may need daily watering. You’ve just got to get your fingers dirty; stick them in the pot to see if you feel moisture. If so, DON’T WATER!

A good place to start is an assessment of your environment. If you’re con-

fined to indoor gardening space, evaluate the light levels in various areas of your home. A non-shaded south facing window will get the most light, followed by east and west windows. Most flowering plants, such as African Violets and potted roses, require plenty of light. A good reference book, or one of the pamphlets available from your Master Gardener’s office, will give you the light requirements for various types of houseplants

hours of direct sunlight per day. Essentially, anything that can be grown in the ground can be grown in a pot. Just be sure you know the full grown size, so you’ll allow plenty of room. Sure, you can go with the old standbys, like geraniums and ferns, but why not try something unusual? How about an ornamental grass, or a potted shrub? If you have some shade, there’s no reason you can’t grow azaleas, hydrangeas, or rhododendrons in a pot. If you’re lucky enough to have full sun, consider some

Also, pest problems may become an issue. Summer oils and insecticidal soaps will control many insect pests. As a bonus, these are low toxicity and safe for houseplants (be sure to check the label). If you see something you don’t recognize, try calling the Master Gardener’s office (560-0528). They may ask you to bring in a sample to identify the problem.Another good reference is www.ncstate-plants.net.

Don’t skimp on potting soil. Buy a quality product, or you’ll be disappointed with the results. There is no limit to the type of container you can use. Just be sure it has drainage holes and is the right size (neither too large nor too small) for the plant. So don’t let space limitations deprive you of the joy of gardening! Just be creative, follow some basic plant care principles, and all your friends will be convince you have a green thumb!

Common Terms Used During the Mortgage Process

hopping for a home can be exciting but also very confusing. You may have already discovered that there are A W many unfamiliar terms in the mortgage industry. For example, you’ve probably heard terms such as “ARM,” “discount points,” and “escrow account.” Because you may be wondering what this terminology means, here is a glossary of some of the most common terms used during the mortgage financing process. It is important that you completely understand these terms before you sign your mortgage. Your loan officer can explain these terms in greater detail and also provide you with more information.

Discount Points Also called “points.” A one-time charge paid to the lender at closing to obtain a lower interest rate on the mortgage loan. One point is equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. For example, two points on a $lOO,OOO mortgage would cost $2,000.

Equity The amount of the home that you actually own. Equity is the difference between the market value of the home and what you still owe on it.

Escrow Account An account often required by the lender to pay taxes and insurance. Every time a mortgage payment is

made, a portion goes into the escrow

account. When the taxes and insurance bills are due on your home, the lender pays the bills with funds from this

account.

PROTECT YOUR HOME •

•

Did you know that in almost half of all completed residential burglaries, thieves simply breezed in through unlocked doors or crawled through unlocked windows? •

Make sure every external door has a sturdy, well-installed dead bolt lock. Key-in-the-knob locks alone are unsafe.

Sliding glass doors can offer easy access if they are not properly secured. You can secure them by installing commercially available locks or putting a broomstick or dowel in the inside track to jam the door. To prevent the door being lifted off the track, drill a hole through the sliding door frame and the fixed frame. Then insert a pin in the hole. •

•

Lock double-hung windows with key locks or “pin” windows by drilling a small hole into a 45° angle between the inner and outer frames, then insert a nail that can be removed. Secure basement windows with grilles or grates. Instead of hiding keys around the outside of your home, give an extra key to a neighbor you trust. Whenever you move into a new house or apartment, rekey the locks.

Check the Doors A lock on a flimsy door is about as effective as locking

your car door but leaving the window down. •

•

All outside doors should be metal or solid wood If doors don’t fit tightly in their frames, install weather stripping around them. Install a peephole or wide-angle viewer in all entry doors so you can see who is outside without opening the door. Door chairs break easily and don’t keep out intruders. Lock your doors when you are inside.

Check the Outside Look at your house from the outside. Make sure you know the following tips: •

•

Thieves hate bright lights. Install outside lights and keep them on at night.

Keep your yard clean. Prune back shrubbery so it doesn't hide doors or windows. Cut back tree limbs that a thief could use to climb to Jl window. Clearly display your house number so police and other emergency vehicles can find your home quickly

Consider an Alarm

Burglars Do More Than Steal

Alarms can be a good investment, especially if you have many valuables in your home, or live in an isolated area or one with a history of break-ins.

Burglars can commit rapes, robberies, and assaults if they are surprised by someone coming home or pick a home that is occupied.

Fire

safety officials suggest that when we move our clocks and watches for Daylight Savings Time, we should also change the batteries in our batteryoperated smoke detectors. But it might be time to change the detectors themselves. Home smoke detectors have been popular since the 19705, and if you’re still using a detector that’s more than 10 years old, it couldn’t hurt to get a new one

The National Fire Protection Association says 51 percent of the residential fires that occurred last year happened in houses not equipped with smoke alarms. With alarms starting at less than $5 each, you’d think just about every home would have a couple, but apparently that’s not the case. The association also says more than 22 million houses in America have at least one smoke detector that is not working because the battery is dead or has been, removed.

periodically for fire safety include:

Clothes dryer vents. They must be cleaned regularly

keep the dryer running efficiently and safely

Range hood or vent. Prevent grease buildup and check for overheating fan motors

Gas-appliance valves. Each gas appliance should have an individual gas shutoff valve, and you must know where it is and how to operate it. Ground fault outlets. Electrical outlets near sinks, tubs and power tools must be equipped with devices that interrupt the current when a plugged-in item is dropped in the water or when a cord is cut. Chemical storage. All gasoline and propane containers must be stored in well-ventilated areas away from fertilizer and other lawn-care products. Never store or use gasoline inside the house.

In lots of cases, someone in the house removed the

battery from a detector after smoke from cooking food or steam from a shower triggered the alarm. If you’ve got an alarm that goes off unnecessarily, replace it with a detector that has a temporary cut-off switch. When the alarm goes off, you push a button on the alarm housing, and it resets for a few minutes, which is usually long enough for smoke or steam to clear. They cost about $lO.

'rest

One problem with such alarms is most people have to stand on a ladder or chair to reach the switch.

In addition to the smoke detector in the kitchen, you probably should have several others around the house. Have at least one on each level in multistory houses Start with a detector in the kitchen, at the top of all staircases, in the hallway outside bedrooms and in any room used by a smoker. A detector inside each bedroom is also a good idea. Some commonly overlooked locations where smoke detectors should be used are the laundry room, furnace room and workshop.

It’s easy to panic in an emergency, especially if you are a child. Children confronted with fire might cower under a bed or in a closet instead of fleeing the house

Part of your drills should be teaching children to get out of a window on their own, even if they have to use an escape ladder. Work closely with small children so they are comfortable with what they have to do, but they still must understand that exiting through a window is only for emergencies.

•

<Mrtchester

Most detectors have a test button. Press it monthly to make sure the alarm is working. Also vacuum alarms regularly to remove dust that might affect their operation.

Start by diagramming the floor plan for your house and designating a primary escape route for each room and a secondary route in case the primary route is impassable. The first escape route is through the room door and an exit door. The second escape route is usually through a window.

For hallways and stairs, look for detectors with builtin lights that help you find your way out of the house in a nighttime emergency.

Stress to children that they are required to leave immediately in case of a fire no matter who or what they think might be left behind. The best way to impress this message on them is to hold an occasional fire drill at home.

Moving Tip 16:

Pack a box with toilet paper, telephone, toothpaste and brushes, snacks, coffee and coffee pot, soap, flashlight, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups and utensils, a couple of pans, and paper towels. These are some of the essentials you may need upon arrival at your new home. Ask your van foreman to load it on the van last so that it will be unloaded at your new home first. Before packing medicine and toiletry items, make sure that their caps and lids have been tightly secured.

When moving plants to your new residence via your car, try not to let foliage rest against the windows, as the leaves will scorch.

After you’ve thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda or charcoal in a sock or nylon stocking and place it inside to keep the interior smelling fresh.

Moving Tip 5: Pack your current phone book to take with you. You may need to make calls to residents or businesses back in your former hometown.

Moving Tip 6: Pack heavy items in small boxes, light items in larger boxes. If packing yourself, make sure you fill the boxes up-use paper or linens to finish a box up. This prevents shifting of your boxed goods and gives added protection.
