West-Edens Link opens doors Duke to

New 350-bed dorm draws mixed, generally favorable student reactions

By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

Years of discussion, planning and construction culminated Monday with the opening of the $3B million West-Edens Link, the centerpiece of long-awaited changes to upperclass residential life.

The dormitory’s new residents voiced mixed reactions so far to the new building, which adds 350 undergraduate beds to campus and connects two formerly separate areas of West Campus.

But even though students criticized some aspects of the new dorm, most expressed overall satisfaction and an eagerness to begin unloading their belongings into their clean, new rooms.

“Compared to other living options, it is great to be here,” sophomore Adam Walsh said.

Chris Dibble, a sophomore, said the WEL is a vast improvement over his living conditions last year in Randolph Dormitory. He was confident that flooding and vandalism will be much less prevalent in the new building.

The gigantic WEL is one of the most visible features of the new upperclass residential life system, which over this week and next will implement several major changes planned in previous years. The University uprooted fraternities and other selective houses from the Main Quadrangle and moved them to the perimeter quads ofWest to create a separate corridor for independent

mores make up the majority of the WEL’s population.

One sophomore, Charlotte Vaughn, pointed out several of the WEL’s perks.

The University is repaying almost $700,000 in federal grant money after discovering that two former University employees had been swindling a prominent researcher for over three years, administrators acknowledged tjiis week.

The researcher, Kenneth Manton, has been in a state of emotional turmoil since 1998, including hospitalizations, colleagues said. Edward Davison, one of the two employees accused of taking advantage of Manton, was arrested in April 2001 for improperly using a University credit card, but Davison posted bail and fled with Christopher Fowler.

Police have not yet found them.

“We had two employees that basically exploited a person who was having serious difficulties,” Provost Peter Lange said.

Construction transforms Science Drive Divinity School officials hope a funding setback will not delay the school’s addition for long, while engineering and parking projects have already made their footprints.

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Two major construction projects on Science Drive started over the summer are progressing on schedule, but a third has been delayed for at least six months because of funding problems.

Excavation is complete for both the parking deck behind the Bryan Center and the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering Medicine and Applied Sciences across from the Pratt School of Engineering. Work on the addition to the Divinity School has been pushed off until the winter, however, because a gift intended to help fund the new facility has fallen through, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said.

“We still need some funding issues straightened out,” Trask said. “We had a foundation gift that didn’t work out, and we’re not going to be building buildings that we’re not able to pay for.” Trask declined to elaborate on the nature ofthe funds.

The new measures state that he may make further constitutional amendments at will and allow him to dissolve the elected Parliament and to appoint the country’s military chiefs and Supreme Court justices.

The changes will also institutionalize the political role of the military in politics by allotting it some seats on a newly created National Security Council.

Renovated Graduate students seek parking solutions Kilgo wins fans

By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle

Students praise the quad’s new air conditioning and added social areas, but add that the renovations should have gone further. >

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

North Carolina in the middle ofAugust is not the most ideal environment for lugging boxes, but at least air conditioning makes the process a little less hellish. Just ask the new residents of buildings K, L and part of M in Kilgo Quadrangle.

The quad, which houses independents, the selective living group Brownstone and Sigma Nu and Delta Sigma Phi fraternities, received the first of the renovations in the plans to modernize Main West Campus’ residence

halls over successive summers.

The renovations are 99 percent completed, Program Coordinator of the Residential Program Review Roger Belanger said. Only a few minor details are left, with the primary renovations—air conditioning, smaller bathrooms, the revamped commons room

and repainted, recarpeted and relit bedrooms —ready for move-in.

“The air conditioning is awesome,” said Brownstone member and House L resident Jill Grob, a junior. “It’s how every dorm should be.”

The building is not without its problems, though. For part of Wednesday, the card swipe was not working, and residents reported problems with water in the bathrooms.

“I’ve taken two showers so far,” Brownstone member and House L resSee KILGO CHANGES on page 10

While the exact wording may not be included in an official petition drafted to address graduate student parking concerns, “I took it up the tailpipe from Duke Parking Services” has become a rallying cry among students. Several graduate students have designed and begun selling bumper stickers with the phrase to express their frustration with the fall parking situation.

After receiving numerous e-mails this summer saying the graduate student parking situation is inadequate, executive members of the Graduate and Professional Student Council recently devised a petition to “Address the Transportation Needs of Graduate and Professional Students.”

The petition cites a broad range of concerns —presenting historical issues regarding transportation at the University and addressing the specific needs of graduate students due to their irregular schedules—and proposes both short- and long-term transportation plans.

Ideally, the petition’s creators want the University to formulate a Master Plan for the 2003-2004 school year, ready for presentation to the student body by this December.

“The petition serves two purposes—those who have access to e-nfail wanted to get something done before school starts and we wanted it to detail out the long-term goals,” said GPSC President Rob Saunders, a third-year graduate student in physics.

GPSC has approached, the University several times over the past three years, but its members say Duke has not responded noticeably.

“For one reason or another, [the University] can’t seem to get a plan together ahead of time f said Carol Chancey, a fifth-year biomedical engineering student. “Between agreeing with us and implementation, there seems to be a big hole.”

Some felt the need to take the initiative a bit farther. “We felt that sign”

KEN EATON, left, and several fellow graduate students are protesting Duke parking regulations by printing and selling bumper stickers. ing the parking petition just wasn't a public enough protest,” Ken Eaton, a neuroengineering student who has been selling the “tailpipe” bumper stickers, wrote in an e-mail. “We felt this would be a statement that parking officials might take more notice of.”

Biomedical students, law students and students in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences have voiced the most frustration over the summer, Saunders said. He has been receiving almost daily e-mails on the subject.

Saunders said GPSC’s primary concern for the fall is the availability and security of parking in the perimeter lots on Duke University Road.

But Director of Parking and Trans-

portation Cathy Reeve said additional precautions have been taken for the perimeter lots. They will be patrolled from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. by a security vehicle, and bus service will run every 12 minutes with routes to the Chapel and Science Drive.

Graduate students who wished to keep their spaces in the same lots as last year had until Aug. 15 to register online. After that date, all remaining students and faculty were placed on a waitlist for the remaining spaces in the “nearer” lots, Reeve said.

Move-in changes bring more efficiency, confusion

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Although they were not filled with the same degree of excitement and apprehension as their freshman counterparts, upperclass students this week experienced all the same successes and frustrations of fall semester move-in.

The University revamped operations this year for West Campus move-in, but many students said logistical problems—-

especially in parking—still persisted.

For the first time, students were able to pick up their parking passes and keys in the Intramural Building near the Blue Zone. Key pickups were organized by quadrangle, and resident advisers and the eight new residence coordinators were onhand to help facilitate distribution.

“Things have been going great in here,” said Assistant Dean ofStudent Development Deb Loßiondo, who oversaw the IM operations. “It’s all been running smoothly.”

Students agreed that the new distribution worked better than in past years, when students had to check-in at service offices around campus. Some, however, were confused about the hours of operations, especially Wednesday.

Although his roommate had already arrived and he was able to move in to his room, sophomore Anthony Resnick arrived at about noon Wednesday to pick up his key and found the IM building empty.

“It’s really getting the school year off on the wrong foot,” Resnick said. “I can’t get into my dorm without my roommate’s key.”

Students were expected to go to service offices Wednesday to pick up their keys, as the RCs and RAs were busy mov-

ing freshmen in on East Campus. Resnick and others said the University never informed them of this, and no signs were posted at the IM building with such an explanation.

The parking situation drew more complaints. Residents were given passes to park for 45 minutes in lots and fire lanes near their dorms. Many upperclassmen reported, however, that the time allotted was too short, and cars were frequently

towed. Statistics on the number of cars towed were not available.

Students in Wannamaker Quadrangle also complained that their fire lane was not open.

“I’ve gotten a lot of complaints from my residents,” said junior Laura Kendall, an RA in Wannamaker 3. “They had to park way out by the gym and carry all their stuff to campus. I guess they could park in the fire lane last year.”

Alpha Tau Omega fraternity member Derek Blass, a senior, agreed that movein was worse than last year because of the closed fire lane.

“I had to park in the Beta lot, and there was a lot of trekking across the quad,” the Craven Quadrangle resident said.

Some students, however, reported no problems, and praised the courtesy van that brought students and their belongings from the Blue Zone to drop-off points around West Campus, as well as those employees who directed students where to park.

“The tow people were real nice,” said junior Sukhi Walha, a Kilgo Quadrangle resident. “They said, Til give you ten minutes, then I’ll tow you.’”

Duke, NCCU split community development grant A $2.25 million gift from the Kellogg Foundation will go toward Duke’s Neighborhood Partnership Initiative By

CINDY YEE

The Chronicle

HOPE will be taking on new meaning for some Durham residents this winter.

Approved in July and backed by $2.25 million from the nonprofit W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the University’s Holistic Opportunity Plan for Enrichment seeks to assist low-income Durham children by intensifying its seven existing after-school programs in the Walltown, West End and Crest Street neighborhoods.

Beginning in January under the HOPE program, a support team will create individualized development plans based on each student’s interests, needs and performance. Members of the support team will come from all angles of the students’ lives—community centers, Durham Public Schools, Durham Social Services, Durham Parks and Recreation, faith communities and the students’ families.

Duke Director of Community Affairs

Michael Palmer said the program recognizes the importance of tailoring plans to each student—a practice that is difficult to implement across a large school system.

“We’re approaching this in away that is not being done already, and that may be why Kellogg was willing to invest,”

Palmer said.

Funds from the Kellogg Foundation will cover the entire program, including costs such as teacher stipends, transportation and learning materials.

“If life is a race, then somewhere in

that race you may have to sprint to catch up,” Palmer said. “What we hope to do is build a support team around each center and thus around each child.”

The University applied for the grant in collaboration with North Carolina Central University, which will also receive $2.25 million. The grants are the largest that Duke has taken for community engagement for the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership Initiative,

and the largest NCCU has ever received from a private source.

For its part, NCCU will channel its resources into its Community Access to Resource Enterprises program. CARE’s main focus will be on creating family resource centers within four existing community centers in Eagle Village, a community with a 1.5-mile radius surrounding the institution.

The most formal collaborative link between the two universities will be through NCCU’s Saturday Academy.

Starting next spring, 50 to 100 students from NPI communities will join the nearly 200 students already enrolled in the Eagle Village program.

“Kellogg wanted to try to concentrate their resources, instead of spreading them all over town,” Palmer explained.

“Given NCCU relationships and Duke relationships, we in essence capture the core urban majority of Durham. If the grant money was spread among 11 universities around the country, there

would be much less bang for the dollar.”

Beverly Jones, the administrator of the grant at NCCU, said the collaboration not only helped secure the grant but also set the groundwork for future cooperation between the universities.

“As we do our separate work, there will probably be some really poignant policy issues out there that we can come together on,” Jones said. “For example, if we think the social services cap is too high, we can tell them that we think they should lower it in order to really help members of the community. If we approach these issues as a united front, it’s much better than to do it separately.”

Jones said the unique partnership between Duke and NCCU can also serve to build bridges beyond the Durham community.

“What we are creating with the synergy between a private and public insti-

tution, one historically black and one historically white, can really create a national model,” Jones said.

Charitable cash gifts increase, against expectations

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

The University received $264,580,049 in charitable gifts in the 2001-02 fiscal year, a small increase over last year, despite the economic downturn. The philanthropic cash gifts total was the second largest in the school’s history.

“Conventional wisdom was that this year would have been weaker than last year,” said Peter Vaughn, director of community and donor relations for development. “[The increase] is a pretty strong testament to Duke alumni.”

This year brought The Campaign for Duke, the University’s $2 billion fund-raising effort scheduled to end December 2003, up to a sum of more than $l.B billion. The momentum of the campaign played a large role in the sizable gifts total, Vice President of University Development Robert Shepard said.

Much of the giving will go toward the goals of the Building on Excellence—the University’s strategic

plan—including improving faculty support, strengthening the sciences and engineering, promoting the University’s diversity and expanding Duke’s reach both globally and locally.

About $lB.l million ofthe total was from the Annual Fund, which accumulates alumni gifts. This was a slight increase over last year’s $17.7 million.

“It’s incredibly impressive in such a tough year that alumni understood it was important to continue to support their alma mater,” Director of Annual Giving Sterly Wilder said. “It shows a strong commitment and loyalty from our alumni.”

The donations accumulated from July 1, 2001, to June 30,2002, fell behind only the more than $3OO million total the University received in the 1999-2000 fiscal year. This year’s total topped last year by about

$155,000.

Both the total number of donors and the number of

alumni donors decreased slightly from last year, but larger gifts accounted for the increase. The figures do

Duke that is often the University’s largest donor, topped the donor chart with a $33.5 million donation, which goes partially to scholarships and outreach programs. Portions of the $35 million pledge from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for an undergraduate facility and student life initiatives ranked second. In third were portions of the $25 million grant from Peter and Ginny Nicholas that created the Nicholas Faculty Leadership Initiative. The Nicholases are co-chairs of the Campaign for Duke.

Neither Vaughn nor Shepard said they expected such a strong repeat for next year.

CRIME BRIEFS From staff reports

Student charged with possession, intent

At 1 a.m. Aug. 20, while performing a routine bicycle patrol, a Duke police officer detected an odor consistent with that of marijuana in the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity section. She entered the dorm and went to the room on the first floor where the smell was coming from. She entered the room, which was occupied by four students. Subsequent investigation led to the confiscation of 10 containers of various amounts of marijuana, ranging in prices of $5O and $lOO, two glass jars with marijuana residue, one pipe, a small aluminum foil containing opium and a pill bottle labeled “Dutch Ecstasy” containing a green leafy substance. The smoke detector in the room had been removed from the ceiling with the battery taken out.

Kevin Josh Neveloff was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell and deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of opium. He was placed under a $5,000 secured bond. The other three students in the room were not charged. Neveloff could

not be reached for comment.

Car, man on bicycle collide

A Chapel Hill man riding a bicycle down Duke University Road toward N.C. 751 hit a car driven by a Duke student turning left from Towerview Drive onto Duke University Road Monday afternoon.

Sophomore Paul Jameson, the car’s driver, told Durham police that he was obstructed by a Duke police car stationed at the entrance of Towerview Road and could not see the biker coming.

The man struck the rear driver’s side of the vehicle, and flipped over the trunk. He was transported to Duke Hospital and later released.

Jameson was charged with failure to yield the right of way and declined further comment.

Laptop stolen

A student reported that between 9:33 a.m. and 9:40 a.m. Aug. 20, someone stole his unsecured $4,000 Dell 2500 Inspiron laptop computer (service tag number

FQDXJO 1, express tag number 34247254897) from the law school library.

Cameras, saw taken

A Mid-Atlantic Infrastructure Systems employee reported that between 4 p.m. Aug. 16 and 5:30 a.m.

Aug. 19, someone removed a window from a construction trailer parked at the East Campus steam plant and stole one $BOO Stihl Saw (serial number 153377212, model TS-400), one $lOO Canon SureShot 85 zoom camera (serial number 6441989, model SS-

85), one $750 Sanyo digital camera (serial number 927452) and one $1,750 RCA camcorder.

Vehicles entered Two visitors reported that their cars had been broken into while parked in the Blue Zone parking lot over the weekend of July 31. One car had a $2OO window broken out, but the other car showed no signs of forced entry. One victim had a Sony car stereo/CD player stolen and 100 CDs, valued at $1,750. The other had a Pioneer car stereo/CD player stolen and 60 CDs, valued at $1,150. There are no suspects.

Vehicles broken into

Between 6:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. Aug. 9, someone broke out the $l6B rear passenger window of an employee’s vehicle parked in the H lot, behind the Anderson Street bus stop and stole the $l2O face plate from her CD player and $39 cellular phone earbuds. In addition, a Duke police officer discovered that nine more secured vehicles had been broken into while parked in the H parking lot near Anderson Street. The windows were broken out of two of the vehicles and apparently the locks .were entered on seven. The following was stolen from the vehicles: a $250 Boss CD player; a $250 Sony CD player 82 CDs valued at $642; a $250 Sony CD player; a $5O wallet containing credit cards, drivers license and two Social Security Cards; a $3OO Kenwood CD player; a $2O CD wallet; a $l5O StarTac cellphone; $4O of miscellaneous clothes by McGregor in a blue-black gym bag; a $3O gray box containing a first aide kit; a $2OO Pioneer CD player; a $3OO Pioneer CD player; a $3OO CD player; a $l2O CD player; and a $7O pair Nike tennis shoes.

Locks broken An employee reported that between 5 and 9:30 p.m.

Aug. 15, someone broke into her office on the second floor of the Divinity School and forcefully entered her desk drawer, causing $3OO in damage. The locks on several second floor office doors and handles sustained $9OO in damage when someone attempted to enter them. Nothing has been reported stolen.

Exposed man reported A visitor reported that around 4:15 p.m. Aug. 8, she was walking on the path behind the Chapel when she noticed a Latino male, approximately 30 years old, wearing a blue long sleeve shirt and blue pants —a “janitor type uniform”—standing near a trash can. As she approached, she noticed his pants were open with

That request has not yet been ruled on, but some details of the assets involved were described in the criminal charges, including millions of dollars held in

bank accounts by Fastow, members of his family and former Enron executives.

Gordon Andrew, a spokesperson for Fastow, declined to comment. The statements by Kopper and the information in the court documents upended the argument that the off-the-books partnerships established by Enron were simply a valid business strategy that had gone horribly awry.

Rather, with more evidence that Kopper provided

Duke University Divinity School has created a new program designed to foster health ministries in communities throughout the Carolinas, Dean Gregory Jones announced this week.

The program, “Caring Communities: Health Ministries and the Practice of Faithful Caring,” will develop a resource center to provide interdisciplinary training in health ministry for health care providers, clergy, lay leaders, policy makers and community leaders. The four-year project, part ofthe Theology and Medicine Program at the Divinity School, is underwritten by the Duke Endowment. Funding for the first year is $600,000.

kickbacks to the Enron executive who selected him to run certain partnerships, legal experts said, the entire strategy has taken on the air of a financial fraud that allowed a group of Enron insiders to reap from the company millions of dollars to which they were not entitled.

In effect, as described by the government, the partnership strategy at Enron was a series of lies within lies. Executives used it to hide the true state of the

company’s finances and holdings from Wall Street and from regulators, and then used it again to funnel vast amounts of money to themselves without the knowledge of shareholders.

Based on Kopper’s admissions, the managers ofthe partnerships—which had to meet certain requirements ofindependence to be used as a valid business strategy—were so closely linked in the lucrative scheme that the entities they ran were entwined with

one another and with the company they were supposed to benefit.

“The conspirators created an array of companies designed to disguise Enron’s vulnerability to risk and losses, and to benefit the conspirators at the expense of Enron’s shareholders,” the deputy attorney general, Larry Thompson, said in a news conference at the Justice Department.

But outside the courtroom, David Howard, a lawyer for Kopper, read a statement as his client stood silently beside him, expressing regret for what had occurred.

“Michael has admitted that he misused his position at Enron to enrich himself and others,” Howard said. “He apologizes to all whose lives have been affected by what he did.”

Kopper, who is 37, was released pending sentencing on a $5-million bond. He faces a maximum of 15 years on the two charges.

PARKING from page 3 School and Circuit Drive lots, Reeve was still able to satisfy 60 percent of the need in the 45 graduate and professional departments. The remaining 40 percent will be forced to park in remote lots if they are not taken off the waitlist.

“Everyone will get a decal, but it is a question of if it is where they want to be,” said Joe Pietrantoni, Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services.

To express concern, graduate and professional students and other community members can log onto the website (www. duke. edu/gpsc/ParkingPetition/) and “sign” the petition through at least the first two weeks of the school year.

The finalized petition will be presented to President Nan Keohane and eight other University officials.

“I think [the petition] enhances our mutual desire to develop more effective communication in transportation and parking issues,” said University Architect John Pearce, who will meet with Medical Center & Health Systems Architect, Greg Warwick, to discuss the future of the proposal from a University-wide design standpoint.

“It could evolve into an overall program statement which would spell out the issues on a broad basis—not just for the grad student, but for faculty, undergraduate students and visitors,” he continued.

Saunders said the petition has already generated several hundred responses and added that once new students arrive at school for the fall and get to view the parking situation first hand, he expects that number will

they made their room selections. “I don’t live in the [renovated area] and I’m kind of pissed I don’t have air conditioning,” Matt Gunia said. “I don’t understand why they didn’t continue it down the hall.”

In addition to the more comfortable

temperature, new residents noticed the redone commons room, the sunny alcoves in the halls and the smaller bathrooms, which were created by dividing the old bathrooms to be more personable.

Belanger said the University plans to maintain the current designs, which he was largely pleased with, but will work out the “wrinkles” before next summer’s renovations. Among these is an alcove in the bathrooms where Be-

langer is concerned students might store things or a predator might hide.

Those in charge of the renovations will meet next week to discuss what went and what they will change.

Residents also noticed some smaller changes. An aesthetic modification, green tile lining the wall facing the front entrance, also attracted attention.

“The tile is a big tease,” said Brownstone member and House L resident David McConeghy, a senior. “You see it when you walk in, but it stops there.”

Belanger attributed the success of the renovations to C.C. Woods, the company remodeling the dorm. “Remodeling a dorm is difficult,” Belanger said. “This has been a very pleasant surprise.”

SCIENCE DRIVE from page 1 The addition includes the Goodson Chapel, a lecture hall, offices and classrooms.

Divinity School Dean Gregory Jones said the school is still putting together the funding package for approval at the October Board of Trustees meeting. “[The package] was not in place in time for the May meeting, and so we will anticipate seeking Board of Trustees approval in October,” Jones explained in an e-mail. “We were disappointed not to receive a grant we had applied for from a foundation, but we still should be able to have a strong funding package in place.”

The addition to the Divinity School is budgeted at $2l million, ofwhich about $l3 or $l4 million has been raised—enough to proceed, said Wes Brown, the school’s associate dean for external affairs. The $2l million is part of the school’s overall $B5 million capital campaign, which is currently 89 percent achieved. Brown said he still anticipates that the project will be completed by fall 2004.

‘There is money still to be raised before construction is completed, but we

details of how to accomplish this are a matter for the Pakistani people to decide, we stand squarely behind the establishment of democratic civilian rule under constitutional means. We continue to look forward to the holding of free and fair national and provincial elections in October. President Musharraf reiterated his government’s commitment to such elections in his national day speech last week.”

mographic Studies last spring but remains its principal investigator, in charge of $3.3 million in federal grants. Professor of Sociology Kenneth Land has replaced Manton as director.

A University investigation last year into Manton’s grant expenditures found a pattern of significant irregularities and inadequate documentation from 1998 to 2001, said Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Burness.

The problems went unnoticed by senior administrators until April 2001, when an anonymous faculty member, unaffiliated with the center, complained about Manton’s performance to Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe. Additionally, Manton approached police that month to say he had been swindled by Davison and Fowler, The New York

Times reported.

Wednesday.

“This is part of the constitution,” he declared at one point, waving his hand in the air. “I am hereby making it part of the constitution.”

As the legal basis for his sweeping actions, the general cited a May 2000 Supreme Court ruling granting him the right to amend the constitution.

2002 � PAGE 13

Rights advocates and opposition groups dismiss that ruling as coerced. They point out that it was made after the general seized power and a group of high court judges, refusing an order to take a loyalty oath to his provisional constitution, resigned instead.

Western diplomats said the changes announced by Musharraf, who announced a series of proposed amendments in July, were not a surprise—that they were in fact less hard-line than some of the July proposals.

But they said the general, a former Pakistani army commando, was showing a familiar tendency to alienate potential allies by dictating changes instead of building consensus. “If I remember correctly, the Emperor Charlemagne crowned himself too,” one diplomat said Wednesday night. “It’s the commando attitude.”

(In fact, Pope Leo 111 crowned Charlemagne.)

Political and rights groups said that if the United States did not try to curb the general, it would be following a long-established pattern. Washington has repeatedly turned a blind eye to military governments in Pakistan when they suited US. short-term interests, they said.

“We did not know about some ofthe personnel problems and did not have any particular reason to audit [before April 2001],” Burness said.

However, Professor Emeritus Max Woodbury, who has worked at the center and mentored Manton since 1971, said he voiced concerns about Manton to Chafe about six months earlier, and that Chafe did not respond to his complaints. Chafe deferred comment to Burness.

“In the course of that discussion Woodbury talked about his deteriorating relationship with Ken Manton,” Burness wrote in an e-mail, “but Bill [Chafe] says there was nothing in that conversation which gave him a sense that Manton was experiencing the kinds of personal or institutional difficulties that subsequently surfaced in April of 2001.”

Lange said the University was unable to detect problems at the center for two reasons. “It’s quite clear that the members ofthe center who were aware of what was going on did not report it to their superiors,” he said. ‘We also did not have an adequate degree of supervision.”

Woodbury said “people were just plain afraid” to report the situation.

Manton did not renew grant contracts for Woodbury, nor for Associate Research Professor Elizabeth Corder or her husband, Research Professor Larry Corder—three of the grant team’s members.

Larry Corder said that although Manton released 60 percent of the center’s faculty in a short period of time, the staff was not sure there was a reportable problem. “Where do you draw the line between eccentric behavior and something worse?” he said. “When dealing with a guy like Ken who’s always been difficult to work with, how can you tell it’s gone too far?”

Manton did not respond to interview requests.

After the investigation, the University informed the National Institute for Aging, which awarded the grants, about its discoveries and offered to pay back $682,000 in improperly spent funds. It also conducted a series of random audits in other departments and concluded that the problems were isolated.

“The University has made some major modifications across the entire University to ensure something like this couldn’t happen again,” said Vice Provost for Research James Siedow, but he did not give details.

The University placed unique controls on the Center for Demographic Studies after the investigation, particularly on the procurement cards used for center purchases, and Chafe has continually been reviewing the center’s finances. An internal audit a year later found that the controls were mostly effective.

As principal investigator on his grants and scientific director of the center, Manton maintains “broad authority” on personnel matters for the grants, but he is no longer allowed to exercise administrative and financial controls, Lange said. Both Land and Siedow also have oversight over Manton.

In addition, Manton now works in a separate building from much of his staff and must give 30 minutes’ notice before visiting the other building to prepare staff members who feel uncomfortable in his presence.

“I believe there are serious issues about Ken Manton’s ability to manage people,” Larry Corder said.

Other employees wrote a letter defending Manton’s leadership. “While some may question his style and personal approach, those of us signing this letter honor and respect Dr. Manton not only for the brilliant mind that he is, but also for such human qualities as gentleness, sense of humor, respect for those with whom he works (regardless of gender), caring and sensibility,” the 22 members of the center who signed the letter wrote.

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

WEL diner, cafe set to open this week, slightly behind schedule Students will soon be able to sample some homestyle cooking at Rick’s Diner or sip a latte at the Blue Devil Beanery as McClendon Tower in the West-Edens Link is scheduled to open either today or Friday.

Floors 0,1 and 4 will be the only completed spaces among the total of nine floors that make up the Tower.

Floor 0 houses the diner, and students will be able to relax and eat on floor 1, which overlooks the restaurant below. The cafe, along with a convenience store, can be found on floor 4. Both the diner and cafe feature outdoor patio seating.

The two eateries are opening almost a week behind schedule. “It was a tight project, and we made a decision in the summer that we could not miss on the rooms. If you couldn’t buy a hamburger for three days, it wasn’t going to be a problem,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said.it seemed more important to get the rooms done.”

The remaining six floors of the tower are intended for social space, and could be completed by the end of the semester.

without having them crash together.

The new semi-lofted beds have created some discontent as well.

These partly raised beds were theoretically employed to add more space, but some students said the beds do not create enough room.

Many students preferred to loft their beds completely. “I wouldrather have a loft. I cannot fit anything useful under [the semi-lofted bed] like a desk or a TV,” Dibble said.

Students also criticized the WEL’s dreary and unfinished appearance.

“I hate the crater walls and the brown ceilings,” Walsh said.

Dibble said the brick-lined hallways and piping along several ceilings gives the WEL a sewer-like appearance.

Vaughn added that the WEL can feel too much like an institution. Although the building has few long, straight hallways in order to make the floors seem less daunting, she

“I really like the air conditioning and carpets,” she said. She added that she appreciates the cleanliness of the bathrooms and looks forward to not feeling “grossed out” whenever she unlocks a bathroom door—although she believes there is sufficient space to add another stall in her bathroom.

Students went on to praise the resources in the WEL, such as the seminar rooms, lounges and eating options, saying they believe trips up to Main West will become less necessary.

Walsh and roommate Bill Rogers, who were on the fringes of East Campus last year in Gilbert-Addoms and Southgate Dormitories, were excited about the common spaces at their immediate disposal in the WEL. Although the WEL boasts significantly larger rooms, many students said their rooms do not appear to be feared that the smaller hallways as big as the square footage suggestcould separate the students; they ed.

Dapolito, Smith to compete for starting QB job Franks announces narrowing of competition for starting quarterback spot at press conference Either Chris Dapolito or Adam Smith could be leading the Blue Devils into Wallace Wade Stadium Aug. 31 against East Carolina—and there’s no guarantee the other will not see minutes

By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

Head football coach Carl Franks provided an optimistic, yet realistic view of his luckless team at a press conference Tuesday.

Franks began by discussing the quarterback position—a position in turmoil after D. Bryant, last season’s starter who was suspended from the football team during the offseason, transferred. Although he acknowledged that circumstances could be better, Franks looked at this year as a chance to start anew.

“Sometimes you just need change,” Franks said, adding that the competition for the vacated quarterback spot has been narrowed to sophomores Chris Dapolito and Adam Smith.

Franks has left open many options for deciding who will run the team, including ideas such as waiting until the last week of pre-season to make a decision, or giving both quarterbacks equal playing time.

Monday’s scrimmage at Wallace Wade Stadium made the quarterback decision even tougher for Franks. The pair combined to throw for 265 yards and three touchdowns during Duke’s 90-play scrimmage.

Dapolito was 9-of-20 through the air for 120 yards and one touchdown while Smith completed 16-of-26 tosses

THAD PAI

CHRIS DOUGLAS who ran for 111 yards during last night’s scrimmage will be counted on to ease the pressure of Duke’s new quarterback.

Goestenkors named coach for USA Duke coach will serve as assistant in World Championship

By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Less than six months after her Blue Devils fell justshort of winning a national championship, women’s basketball head coach Gail Goestenkors will have the chance to help guide a team to a World Championship Sept. 14 to 25 in China.

Goestenkors will join the USA Basketball World Championship Team for a month-long stint as an assistant coach Monday. She will serve under head coach Van Chancellor of the WNBA’s Houston Comets and alongside Anne Donovan of the Charlotte Sting and Syracuse University’s Marianna Freeman. .

“I feel very privileged that they’d ask me to be the assistant of the world championship team,” Goestenkors said. “This is basically our Olympic team.

It’s going to be a great opportunity for me to work with players at the elite level—all from the WNBA—and with great coaches as well. So I feel like it’s going to be a great experience for me.”

The team features WNBA stars Lisa Leslie of the Los Angeles Sparks, Sheryl Swoopes from the Houston Comets and the Seattle Storm’s Sue Bird, among others. Goestenkors’ primary responsibility for the team will be scouting the team’s opponents.

Our practices begin on the 27th [of August] and our head coach won’t be with us if things work out well for him in the playoffs. So it will be an opportunity to get to know the players and run them through some drills. We will start the foundations of what we’re going to build upon.”

Although leaving her team for a month at the beginning of the school year might seem a risky or unwise move, both Goestenkors and her players feel her departure will not hurt the team and might even prove beneficial. “[Her departure] is going to force leaders to step up,” preseason All-American Alana Beard said. “It’s going to make our team chemistry so much better; it’s already good, and with the five incoming freshmen we really need that. We really need them to feel they’re accepted.”

Added junior point guard Vicki Krapohl: “Instead of Coach G telling the freshmen how we play and what goes on, it’s going to have to be us. And so by telling them, it’s going to force us to take responsibility for the things she would normally be taking.”

Spiezio’s extra-inning home run defeats Yankees

By TYLER KEENER The New York Times

STAN HONDA/AFP

SCOTT SPIEZIO’S home run in the top of the 11th inning lifted the Angels over the Yankees, 5-1

It was 5 NEW YORK Angels all there for Rondell Yankees 1 White. With one swing, he could supercharge his season, slam away his slump and overcome his failure in the ninth inning. The bases were loaded with two out in the 11th, and the Yankees trailed the Anaheim Angels by four runs. All White wanted was a simple grand slam off a 98 mph fastball.

Too much to ask? Certainly, but White was hacking anyway. He fouled off three fastballs from Troy Percival—-the first at 97 mph, the next two at 98 —and took a close pitch at the knees for a ball.

Percival fired another 98 mph fastball, up and in, and White was helpless. Strike three, swinging. Game over, slump not.

The Yankees lost, 5-1, leaving six runners in scoring position from the

sixth inning on. They loaded the bases off Percival with no outs in the 11th, but Raul Mondesi popped out before Percival blew away John Vander Wal and White with fastballs.

White has three hits in his last 44 atbats, and his average has tumbled to .243, its lowest point since the last week in May. It has been a humbling season for White, who was booed Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. He could not recall being booed before.

“But if you’re not doing the job, hey, that’s how it is,” White said. “Just try to do better. It can’t get any worse.”

White must have thought that after his at-bat off Ben Weber in the ninth.

With the score tied at 1-1, Jorge Posada led off with a double to deep left-center.

Mondesi tried to move him over by hit See ANGELS on page 19

Owners offer new deal as Aug. 30 strike date nears By

RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

NEW YORK Baseball owners presented a new revenue-sharing deal

to the union to try to spark talks, calling the offer a significant step toward what players want.

The proposal, made Tuesday night and disclosed Wednesday, was much better received than management’s luxury-tax plan last week, which was so far from what players would accept that they set an Aug. 30 strike date.

Revenue sharing among teams and a luxury tax on high payrolls to slow salary increases are the chief issues

that could lead to baseball’s ninth work stoppage since 1972.

Rob Manfred, management’s top labor lawyer, said the revenue-sharing plan was a “substantial move toward the union both in structure and in transfer amount,” He would not disclose details of the proposal and said the next move is up to players.

“I am frustrated a little bit,” Manfred said. “I’d like to get a more active dialogue going on the tax and the revenue sharing, but it takes two parties to have a dialogue.”

Union lawyers said the proposal was a move in the right direction, but

they would not agree that the shift was “substantial.”

“We will respond to their proposal on revenue sharing in the very near future, more likely than not, tomorrow,” Gene Orza, the union’s No. 2 official, said after Wednesday’s second bargaining session.

In qiemos to players and agents last weekend, union head Donald Fehr said players already had agreed to raise the amount of money to be transferred from high-revenue teams to low-revenue teams from $169 million to $235 million annually, using 2001 figures. Before their latest offer Tuesday, owners had

proposed $282 million be transferred.

Meanwhile, a management lawyer sent a nine-page memo to team executives to prepare them for a strike. The memo to chief financial officers, general managers and assistant general managers urged them to make plans to cut expenses.

“All operations should be carefully reviewed with an eye toward reducing overhead costs during the strike,” said the memo, written by Frank Coonelly, a lawyer in the labor relations department of the commissioner’s office.

FRANKS from page 15 for 145 yards and two scores.

Unlike the game in the air, the running game appears very solid for the Blue Devils. Franks said the offensive line has improved significantly, something he attributes to both new line coach Rich McGeorge and the fact many of the players have added pounds. If all goes well, better blocking will open up room for junior Chris Douglas, the team’s best offensive player last season.

The thunder to Douglas’ lightning is junior fullback Alex Wade. Franks was effusive in his praise of Wade, and mentioned that he could take some carries

Franks said.

Life on the other side of the ball is also bright, he added.

The defense is marked by a significant change: The move of junior Ryan Fowler, last season’s best defensive player, from outside linebacker to middle linebacker. The change was made to make the team quicker and deeper. So far it appears to be successful, with Fowler adjusting easily to his new position.

“The defense is a lot more aggressive [this year],” Fowler said. “There’s a different attitude. A point of emphasis was to bring more speed to the field, and I think we’ve done that successfully.”

Franks also addressed the nationworst 23-game losing streak, noting that it did not dominate the team’s thoughts and words.

“It’s something that exists, and that we deal with, but it’s not something we spend a great deal talking about,” Franks said. “I hope the team uses it for motivation.”

Franks added that his job’s rewards derived from more than just wins on the field, and that the chance to give two walk-on players, Mark Thompson and Matt Brooks, scholarships this year was an emotional highlight in his tenure at Duke.

“One of the most enjoyable, satisfying moments that we had last spring was when I told the team that I was going to give those guys scholarships,” the coach said. “The reaction of the team was one that made you feel real1}

end of the month. Two of the three seniors are wings and the other a post player. Two scholarships will be available to the seniors.

Incoming freshmen Caitlin Howe and Jessica Foley, who had knee and ankle surgeries respectively in the off-season, are both recovered and cleared to play.

Beard kept a lighter schedule this

Goestenkora’ trip is its impact on recruiting. September is one of the most important months of the year for recruiting because coaches can visit recruits in their homes. But Goestenkors plans to make four home visits in the three days

after she returns from China.

Goestenkors is confident the trip will ultimately be a good deal for Duke.

“I just want to learn and grow as a coach and as a person,” she said. “My goal is to take all the knowledge I can gain while working with these players and coaches and bring it back to help [the Duke team]. So in the long run I think it’s going to be very beneficial for the team, the program and myself.”

Notes; Goestenkors will visit three high school seniors and a junior at the

summer, playing the least basketball for a summer in four years, but she spent time at home working on the consistency of her jump shot and working out—she can now bench nearly twice the weight she could as an incoming freshman.

Krapohl, on the other hand, worked as a counselor at seven basketball camps this summer. She spent June and July working at the Duke camp and practicing with freshmen Lindsey Harding, Mistie Bass and Brooke Smith who were taking summer classes.

ANGELS from page 16 ting to right, but he fouled off a pitch and ended up grounding to short.

Vander Wal was walked intentionally, and White bounced to short for an inning-ending double play.

The Angels scored four times off Jeff Weaver in the top of the 11th, but when Percival got in trouble in the bottom of the inning, White and the others could not make him pay.

“It’s tough when he’s throwing 97, trying to get a fastball and hit a grand slam to make up for the double play,” White said. “I should have gotten a better pitch to hit.”

Manager Joe Torre, believing White had become a defensive hitter, benched him for two games in Kansas City last week. Torre spoke with White then and told him not to feel he was letting the team down.

But that has been hard for White to do. He says he tries to leave a bad game in the clubhouse, but he usually watches highlights when he gets home to

check on friends around the league.

Then he sees himself and feels worse.

“It’s a team game,” White said, “but you’ve got a lot of pride in your game, and you’re going to feel like you’re letting the team down if you’re not doing your job.”

Others shared the blame Wednesday.

The Yankees were shut out after Bemie Williams’ run-scoring single in the first off Ramon Ortiz. They left the bases loaded in the sixth and two on in the eighth before their failures in the ninth and 11th.

Orlando Hernandez threw seven strong innings for the Yankees, and Mike Stanton and Steve Karsay worked the next two. Weaver (7-11) came in for a scoreless 10th, but Brad Fullmer slapped a double to left to lead off the 11th and bring up Scott Spiezio.

Weaver got ahead, 0-2, then tried a two-seam fastball, a pitch meant to tail away from the left-handed-hitting Spiezio. This pitch ran back over the plate, but Weaver did not expect to see it land in the right-field seats.

“I was still surprised he turned it around like that, regardless of where the location was,” Weaver said.

22.2002 � page 19

The home run gave the Angels a 3-1 lead, and three more singles and a fielder’s choice produced two more runs. It was the first rough outing Weaver has had in four appearances as a reliever. It is a short-term role for him, and clearly not one he enjoys.

“I’m just dealing with it,” Weaver said. “It comes as it comes. I don’t know; each day is a new experience.”

Torre has placed some restrictions on how he uses Weaver. Torre has said he would only call for Weaver to start an inning, and he would rather use him in the middle innings. But with Mariano Rivera on the disabled list, Weaver’s role takes on more importance.

“I’m not going to let what happened in that inning affect the way I think about him or the trust I have in him,” Torre said, referring to the 11th. “He has too good stuff, and he will be very important to us as a starter in the future. He’s taken on a role now that he’s not familiar with, and he’s done a good job with it.”

A good job until Wednesday when Weaver, White and their teammates could not put the Angels away.

BASEBALL COMMISSIONER BUD SELIG hopes the new proposal will keep the MLBPA from striking again.

“examine all of its contractual obligations, including agreements with other unions, employment contracts, leases, etc., to determine what costsaving measures may be taken during the strike.”

Since the 1994-95 strike, which lasted 232 days and wiped out the World Series for the first time in 90 years, the commissioner’s office instituted standard employee contracts for non-players such as managers, GMs, scouts and trainers.

“The commissioner has the authority to suspend uniform employee contracts when there is a player strike,” Coonelly wrote in his memo. “No decision has been

made regarding the exercise of this authority in the event of a strike.”

Some employees may have had special provisions inserted into their contracts guaranteeing their pay during a strike.

Negotiators are working to prevent another walkout, but it appears that the talks, like always in baseball, will go right up to the deadline.

With the sides stuck on the luxury tax, management turned to revenue sharing in an effort to build momentum toward a deal.

“We thought it was a productive

step to try to move the other related piece in the hope the whole negotiation would move forward,”

Manfred said.

Players fear that a large increase in revenue sharing, when combined with a luxury tax, would take away too much money from baseball’s high-payroll teams, who would otherwise spend it on

salaries.

The Chronicle Courageous UNC

Students

at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill engaged in discussion earlier this week about their summer reading assignment, a book called Approaching the Quran: The Early Revelations that contains excerpts from the Quran, an assignment that has embroiled UNC in controversy this summer.

UNC took a courageous stance by assigning passages from the Quran, an assignment they must have known would invite controversy.

The assignment is appropriate and timely, since in order to understand current events one must have some prerequisite background knowledge, and, for better or for worse, radical Islam and its practitioners dominate current events. As a result, it is essential that students delve into this important topic, since ultimately, gaining knowledge and promoting understanding is the core of academic pursuits.

Critics have lambasted UNC, a state-funded university, for promoting Islam in the wake of Sept. 11, contending that mandating students read the Quran is tantamount to establishing a state-sponsored religion. But these critics miss the essential fact that UNC’s program is not promoting the Islamic faith. Quite the opposite: UNC is secularizing Islam and its teachings. Works such as the Quran and the Bible have value, be it literary, cultural or political, that is entirely separate from whatever religious value they may have.

Educated people must understand different, diverse religions and their texts. To prevent students from reading seminal works of civilization solely because they happen to be religious texts is ridiculous if the intent of such reading, be it the Quran, the Bible or Greek myths, is to emphasis the aesthetic beauty of the work or to encourage students to come to an objective understanding of the religion and its accompanying culture.

UNC does deserve some criticism for its specific selection of what book to read. While promoting an understanding of Islam is admirable and worthwhile, critics contend “Approaching the Quran” picks and chooses what portions ofthe Quran to include and intentionally leaves out parts of the Quran that terrorists and Islamic extremists use to justify their horrendous actions. How can UNC’s students gain a complete and total understanding of Islam and its culture without understanding the entire Quran, peaceful and violent passages alike?

If UNC is serious about academic freedom and the understanding of different religion and cultures, it should present students with all the evidence, an unbiased and complete accounting ofthe Muslim faith that has not been whitewashed of its less savory elements, and allow students to make their own judgments. We applaud UNC for its decision to make its students read the Quran, an important work of world literature and civilization, but hope that in the future such attempts at crosscultural inquiry present a complete picture of other cultures.

Serious Iraq policy needed Two weeks ago I was in New Delhi, India, watching CNN, when on came President George W. Bush talking about the need to deal with the threat from Iraq. I had no problem with what the president was saying.

What bothered me, though, was that he was saying it in a golf shirt, standing on the tee with his golf clubs. Up to now Bush has conducted the war against terrorism with serious resolve. But he shows real contempt for the world, and a real lack of seriousness, when he says from the golf tee, as he did on

Thomas Friedman Commentary

America, not in authoritarian regimes that are ostensibly pro-American—even though it is America’s support for the autocratic regimes in Egypt and Saudi Arabia that has made many of their citizens so anti-American and contributed to the fact that 15 Saudis and one Egyptian played key roles in 9/11.

Some argue that if you have elections in these countries you will end up with “one man, one vote, one time”—in other words, the Islamists would win and never cede power back. I disagree. I think you would have one man, one vote, one time—for one term.

Because sooner or later even the Islamists would have to deliver or be ousted.

People cite Iran for what happens when democracy goes wrong. Sorry, Iran is not a

democracy. Iran is a dictatorship of conservative Iranian clergy, financed by oil wealth, that uses voting for pre-selected candidates to give it a patina of democracy.

Iran, though, is living proof of why, in a country with a long legacy ofauthoritarianism, you need a process of democratization before democracy. Which is why I would not favor we talk about democracy.

When the Bush team insists that Saddam America’s demanding elections tomorrow in Hussein must be ousted to bring democracy to Saudi Arabia or Egypt.

What we should be advocating (and what Iraq and the Arab world—but says nothing democrats in these countries seek) is a soft about democratizing Saudi Arabia or Egypt landing, notes Larry Diamond, a democracy people there notice. And it undercuts our support and credibility. To his credit, Bush has expert at the Hoover Institution. “That finally decided to withhold an aid increase to means,” he said, “encouraging these regimes to gradually introduce authentic political parties, Egypt, in response to its jailing of Egypt’s leadand fair elections, even if they are competitive ing democracy advocate.

For a period of years the current ruling famArabs are wondering: Why is America pushing ilies really America could retain key powers—over the army democracy only in Iraq?

(The Iraq and using democracy as acover. army in Turkey and the king in Thailand have Ditto in the West Bank. The Bush team is played that kind of guardianrole, as their socipushing democracy on Yasser Arafat and the eties gradually built the habits of democracy.)

Then gradually, more the West Bank that helps poison the atmosradicals phere there, empowering Palestinian power could be transferred to them.

But that is not the Bush policy. The Bush and weakening the liberals.

But it is not just the physical backdrop for our Iraq policy that we need to be more serious about if we want to win greater world backing.

Want instant prestige? Just add famous names

To raise its profile, Duke should use its endowment to steal renowned professors from other schools If you haven’t noticed yet, we have an inferiority complex here at Duke. It’s subtle, but you start to see it soon enough. It manifests itself on the highest levels, as in the administration’s ongoing social engineering projects (e.g., shackles on the fraternities, a more restrictive curriculum, etc.) to turn us into Harvard.

And it’s there on the lowest levels, too, in the sheepish giggling of the tour guides when they tell Duke’s creation ' myth about how our university was founded by tobacco barons who first tried to buy Yale and rename it before JSmF'b*.. endowing Trinity College.

Rob I even notice it in myself sometimes, P nnr|man like the time last year when my friends and I sat up late drawing up plans for an Anti-Ivy League featuring ourselves, Stanford, and Chicago. And when you furiously thumb through the U.S. News rankings, discover that we’re still only number eight, exclaim “Bulls-t!,” and then hang your head in resignation, it will have hit you, too.

Under normal circumstances, resolving this kind of problem would take years of soul-searching and debate on the part of the entire community. But ifwe’ve learned anything from Duke’s founding family, it’s that there has never been a problem that cannot be solved with very large amounts ofcash. That we have—Duke University's

endowment totals about $3 billion.

Here’s what I’m proposing: Let’s sign the nation’s top 50 professors to multiyear contracts of $5O million each.

What else do we need for instant prestige? Name just three Duke professors famous to the general public. I can’t do it. Now, this shouldn’t be taken as criticism of Duke's current faculty; The professors I’ve had have been excellent. But our present need isn’t excellent professors, it’s famous ones.

Think top academics are above the pull of money?

History would suggest otherwise. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, the University of

Chicago bought Clark University’s entire psychology on earth? At the very least, let’s name something department. In 1982, Steven Weinberg, the nation’s after John Edwards.

These are just examples for your consideration. The leading astrophysicist, was lured from Harvard to Texas with a six-figure contract. opportunities are limited only by our imagination and And this year there was Cornel West, the man money. Of course, some will argue that Duke would be who, I believe, will go down in history not for any starting a dangerous bidding war, but I reply that that’s specific contribution to African-American studies but exactly what we want. as the father of academic free agency. This is the man For one, we can lock up our top picks before other who left Harvard for Princeton, in part because schools know what’s going on. But more importantly, the Harvard’s president neglected to call him while he effects of such spending will trickle down to the rest of society, and everyone will was in the hospital. In short, even ivory-tower intellectuals have benefit. Think of a professoriA J I 7 al draft right out of grad bank accounts and egos, which tiLIS yCCLT WCLS for school, mean they can be bought. starters.

I bet they’d all like $5O million, dedicate themselves to the pursuit of pure knowledge.

But maybe the very best are unavailable. We can still No longer will they be forced to sell out and become do quite well—like the New Jersey Nets with Jason lawyers and doctors to make a decent living, because Kidd—rehabilitating tarnished superstars. Imagine intellectuals of all kinds will be highly-paid celebrities.

Doris Kearns Goodwin (plagiarism), Stephen Ambrose We can use money, that which Americans respect most, (plagiarism), and Joseph Ellis (lying about war record) to end a long tradition of anti-intellectualism.

It can all start right here at Duke. This is our choice: rediscovering their academic game as the stars ofDuke’s history department. Imagine them thanking our school We can continue to wallow in our inferiority, dependent for giving them a second chance in a tearful, nationally entirely on Coach K and the men’s basketball team for televised press conference. our collective self-esteem, or we can spend the money to State politics, too, can be fertile ground. There turn Durham, N.C. —like Athens, Aachen and Florence of should be a chair of political science polished and old—into the world capital of learning.

So who’s up for some professor-stealin’? waiting for Liddy Dole or Erskine Bowles, whoever loses November’s Senate race. And what better place could there be than the academy for a retiring elder Rob Goodman is a Trinity sophomore. His column statesman like Jesse Helms to spend his last years appears regularly. _____

When

Guide to the On-Campus, Off-Campus Juggernaut

most Duke students speak of Durham, they do so in snobbish tones.

"Well, there's the crime and the peddlers and the...ewww, 1 just hate Durham," they declare over their Grande iced mocha Frappawhatevertheycallits.

Too freakin' bad.

As strong as the student body's antipathy toward the surrounding city may be, because of the sweeping changes that the administration has made to the University's social scene, we Dukies must increasingly rely on what lies outside of our cozy,

wooded confines. .

The transition has already begun.

When they took away the Hideaway, we guzzled at the Joyce. When the number of Fraternity parties markedly decreased, we danced to whatever the newest Nelly song was at the Edge.

And when they outlawed sex, we se-

lected from the bevy of buyable beauties lining Alston Avenue. (OK, they haven't outlawed sex yet, but it was still the best $9.78 J've ever spent.)

With the bulk of social activity occurring away from Sigma Who and Pauly's Hot Dogs this fall, the following is a breakdown of how Durham stacks up against Duke socially:

Movies

Freewater dominates Duke's film scene. The student group is most recognizable for screening newish releases on weekends for a couple

bucks: however, Freewater is at its best dur-

THE NOD

ing the week. Be-

tween putting on

film series (the Jack Nicholson and the music movie festivals were particularly noteworthy last year) and showing a host of worthwhile artsy movies you probably would never see otherwise, Freewater does exactly what a college theater group should: It exposes the greatest amount of students to truly

THEY CAN TAKE OUR HIDEAWAY, BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE OUR FREEWATER FILMS: Even though the longtime campus bar closed its doors last year, the Duke social scene doesn't necessarily have to be as sterile as the area that was once filled with boozed-up, underage undergrads.

original filmmaking.

Out in Durham, aside from the Wynnsong multiplex/human zoo that plays the new big-studio flicks, the Carolina Theatre stands as the

best option. The converted vaudeville house that opened in 1926 shows the best of the indie options and, if you're into subtitles, foreign films. The theater also hosts two nationally recognized film festivals—the Full Frame and the North Carolina Gay and Lesbian. Entertainment Weekly even went so far as to name Durham a hot spot (along with Los Angeles and New York, thank you very much) for hosting the Martin Scorcese-sponsored Full Frame. The nod; Push.

MUSIC: The Duke Coffeehouse

in

the Crowell Building on East Campus is really the only place on campus where you can consistently enjoy local music. Sure, there's a symphony here or a choir group there at other locations around Duke, but the Coffeehouse offers the most consistently enjoyable and youth-oriented batch of performers. While Beck played in this funktafied venue several years back, go to the Coffeehouse for all the local and student bands that are THE NOD trying to claw their way into the spotlight.

Two new music venues have emerged on the Durham landscape recently. Ringside and Bully's Basement book all the best local bands, as they attempt to make Durham's music scene just as vibrant as Chapel Hill's. With both clubs' popularity burgeoning, the effort just may work. (For more information on these venues, refer to the cover story in this summer's Recess.) The nod: Durham

Dining: A funny thing happened when ARAMARK took control of Duke's dining operations last year: The food continued to stink! The Great Hall and Marketplace belong in the

pantheon of rubber chicken and sordid spaghetti establishments, Chick-Fil-A is a greasy mess (although it does sell Yoo-hoo), Alpine is serviceable, the Armadillo Grill is gastastic, The Loop is inconsistent, the Oak Room is a highpriced train wreck and McDonald's is McDonald's. True, some of these opinions may be the product of overexposure after three years, but the food wasn't that good to THE NOD begin with.

Durham, for all the grief it receives, actually stands as a damn good restaurant town. Magnolia Grill, Nana's and Four Square are the highpriced heavy hitters that don't fail to deliver, and a number of less expensive restaurants (Foster's Market, Pop's, Blue Corn Cafe) are tasty date places.. Honey's and Elmo's also work for the hungover and the hungry. The nod: Durham.

Romantic Areas:

On campus the you can stroll through Sarah R Duke Gardens on a TUP ivinn nc l>lu crisp Saturday morn, or you can gaze at the sky above the Chapel at sunset before lockJmSSSaam ing lips with your starcrossed lover.

In Durham you can walk by abandoned tobacco complexes. The nod: Duke, in a nailbiter.

gRpOH

Nightlife: Woe is the Duke party scene. Long departed are the days of beer trucks, the Hideaway and university-sanctioned fun. The so-called "new Duke" is to partying as Michael Jackson is to black. The best place to get boozed up though See SOCIAL SCENE on page 7

The Chronicle

Bring an umbrella, and dump your HS sweetie Chronicle columnist dispenses sage wisdom for freshly-minted freshmen on life at Duke social, academic and otherwise “Welcome to the real world,” he said to me, condescendingly. That was the only piece of advice I got from my FAC—besides “Come to my frat party.” And even though freshman year is all about independence, advice is sometimes much needed. No matter how pre1 pared you are, new issues lurk behind every Faran core requirement, cute professor and keg. The Krentcil good news? Freshmen make up 25 percent of the student body.

That means 75 percent of us have been there before. But just in case you’re too shy to ask the big kids in person, check out the questions and answers below—we remember our hazy first year of hangovers, hookups and Hell 101 (also known as organic chemistry) and we’re here to help.

Hvirl

Q: I can’t remember anyone’s name!

What should I do?

Orientation is a deluge of new information, and remembering anything is tricky in the sticky Durham heat. Fortunately, RAs make tiametags for everyone’s room—check the name on the door before you go visiting someone. Another trick: whip out your Duke Card and say, “Can you believe my picture? I look so young/old/hot/ugly/much like that kid from American Idol.” Soon, everyone will be swapping cards, giving you an opportunity to scan names. But if you do it with a sincere smile, nothing beats

honesty. It's totally okay to grin and say

Tm so sorry, I don't remember your name” —as long as it’s not to your roommate, or the sophomore you were smooching last night.

Q: My parents keep calling and it’s driving me crazy!

Parents are so cute when they’re worried. To keep them at bay without hurting their feelings, suggest a weekly time to always phone home; with extra calls for emergencies only. Remind them how busy you are with classes, and that they can always e-mail you instead. As a last resort, have your roomie say “Sorry, he/she’s in the library,” when you’re not around.

Q: I don’t know my major yet. Any

ideas for picking classes?

Even if you do know your major, use the first semester to take a wide variety of classes covering different core requirements. Freshman year is not the time to take six hours of art history; it’s the time to see what Duke has to offer.

Even the most focused students change majors—to avoid future summer sessions, get your core requirements out of the way first! Don’t forget to check the cross-listings, as some classes are not what they appear. For example, I’m nailing my last Natural Sciences requirement by taking Philosophy of Science, which definitely does not include a lab!

Pretty sneaky, huh? Also, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to professors. They

will become your mentors, your leaders and quite possibly the ones who hook you up with a summer internship or job interview. One last word on academics—if you don’t like the class for any reason, make life easy and drop it. There are hundreds ofothers to choose.

Q: There are so many weekend parties—what’s the best social scene?

The key to college partying is finding the best scene for you. At least for the first few weekends, go everywhere.

Don’t worry about feeling out of place; if you’re invited to a party, get some friends together, make fun of each other’s outfits, then go! You can always leave if it sucks; if you’re not quite sober, call 684-SAFE and have Safeßides take you home. Don’t get into someone’s car alone, and if you’re uncomfortable, LEAVE. Scary stuff aside, most Duke parties are surprisingly chill. Walk in with a smile, don't drink anything until someone offers you a cup, and leave the Britney and Boy-Band threads at home—your favorite jeans will take you anywhere you want to go. Please don’t be like that girl wearing the fuzzy pink bra—we’re still laughing about her.

Also, the last bus to East leaves at 2 a.m. (4 a.m. on weekends), so if you’re invited to stay over somewhere, make sure you’re not going to get kicked out of

GEORGE'S GARAGE,TUCKED OFF OF NINTH STREET may be the safe choice this year for Duke nightlife, as more and more parties skedaddle from the fraternity section and move further away from campus.

Sports: There's a reason

why 1,000 otherwise Duke students perfectly intelligent camp out in the dead of winter every year: The basketball games are that much fun. Cameron Indoor Stadium—cramped, boiling, thunderous —is still college basketball's best venue, and the men's basketball program, recent defections and all, is still one of the most prized in the country. (Warning: Avoid being that person who paints himself blue and bases his sense of self on the ability to come up with clever rhymes involving "Andy Borman.") Aside from basketball, few people attend other Blue Devil matches —a real shame. The s teams consistently rank in the THE NOD tenn ' (and they're attractive), top-ten lacrosse and field hockey games are at m&m least violent and baseball is always soothing to watch live no matter how atrocious the team may be.

The Durham Bulls present the best option for the sports fan away from Duke. Munch on a couple dogs and some Dippin' Dots (they are the ice cream of the future, you know), take in the scene and you've got a perfect night of Triple-A ball at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. College nights on the lawn in centerfield are particularly amusing. In the summer the Durham Americans, a semi-pro ball club, take the field at the old ballpark where Bull Durham was filmed; however, you're gonna need a six-pack and an NBA sticker to keep up with the very local crowd. The nod: Duke.

The social life of a Duke student need not be devastatingly average. Just follow these two simple maxims; 1) Durham does not suck as bad as you think it does. In fact, upon greater exposure to the city, you will realize that it's oddly attractive.

2) A healthy mix of on and off campus activities will at least allow you to have some social diversity, dropping the chances that you and your raging desire for high jinks will stagnate.

THE NOD Off campus, where you can party away from Big Brother's omniscient eyeballs, a number of decent, while not remarkable, options exist. The James Joyce Pub is always good for a $4 pint, and partaking in the joint's Tuesday night trivia contest—with its combination of ribaldry and useless knowledge—is truly one of the great joys of being a Duke student.

Rum Runner's is a very ordinary nightclub, the Edge in downtown Durham plays whatever the new crap on the radio is and George's is fun, if completely unoriginal, on a Thursday night. The nod: Durham, only because of the greater variety of options.

JANE HETHERINGTON and SAM MORGAN/THE CHRONICLE

ANXIOUS DUKIES (far left) swarm the entrance to Blackwell Dormitory and a resident guards her bags in front of Blackwell, while a GROUP OF FACs (top) lounge outside Brown Dormitory taking a much-needed rest in between moving in residents. The Class of 2006 moved into East Campus Wednesday on a hot, but sunny August day. Orientation will continue today through Sunday, and classes begin for all Duke students Monday morning.

Freshmen move smoothly into East Campus

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

One of them was on the Olympic team for trap shooting. Another lived on a farm growing up, without the benefit of a television or central heating.

Yet another student was twice named

the junior world whitewater rafting champion, and another wrote a grant for the restoration of a historical South Carolina lighthouse.

They all arrived yesterday, all 1,651 of them, to East Campus, on a sunny,

albeit hot and hazy, North Carolina August day, welcomed by first-year advisory counselors, and student affairs administrators.

Amid the sweaty labor of hauling boxes, clothes and appliances into dorm rooms, many students were busy meeting their roommates for the first time and getting to know their classmates.

“I still haven’t met her yet,” said

Join

us at

Alexis Farris, a Trinity freshman from St. Louis. “I was originally placed in Epworth, and I clicked really well with the girl I was supposed to be roommates with. But I don’t know how it will be here, since I switched into Randolph so late. I’m optimistic though!”

Caroline Bierbaum, a Trinity freshman from Manhattan, said that because she had roommates all through

boarding school, she decided that going it alone in college might be a nice change.

“I know that having a single is much nicer,” she said.

Move-in, which is traditionally completed in two shifts to better deal with both the sheer number of students moving in and the parking crunch, began at 10:30 a.m. Students in seven of the 13 East Campus dorms moved in until 12:30 p.m. Then there was a quick break for the FACs before the six

remaining dorms moved in at 1 p.m.

For the third consecutive year, however, no rain marred the day, as a hot sun beamed down.

The “welcome week” part of orientation, which began Wednesday and will run through Sunday, before classes start Monday, will feature today’s annual convocation for new students and an address from President Nan Keohane, and Sunday’s annual freshman ceremony marked by a speech by Maya

Angelou.

This year, however, will include discussions of “The Palace Thief,” a short story mailed to each incoming student.

The short story features academic integrity as its central theme, something administrators hope students will discuss throughout the week and beyond as the University adapts from its old honor code to the new Community Standard.

In the meantime, however, freshmen

will learn how to adjust not just to life at Duke, but for many ofthem, life away

from home.

Kern Smith, a West Lake, Calif., native and Pratt freshman, said that moving in was a bit overwhelming, but that he was looking forward to Duke.

“It was funny to see everyone move stuff in and how they pack,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to meeting lots of different people, to take everything in and enjoy it a11.... I’m not apprehensive about anything. I just don’t know enough to be apprehensive about.”

Andrea Felkins, Trinity ’75, mother of Stephen Felkins, a Pratt freshman from Berwyn, Penn., perhaps summarized the worst of all fears for incoming students.

“He will definitely miss getting his laundry done at home,” she said.

Nope, not yet. Although pledging starts (officially) in January, we thought you might find it useful to have a map of West Campus in hand as you go forth on the weekends to discover (what’s left of) the on-campus party scene. Last year, each selective group was reassigned a different location on campus, to coincide with the new residential life plan that mandates every sophomore live on West Campus and also ensures the so-called “independent corridor” that runs on both sides of Main West Quadrangle.

Durham and N.C. Leaders Mike Eosley

Bid Bell

Mayor ofDurham

Governor Mike Easley, who served as state attorney general from 1993 to 2000, was elected governor in Nov. 2000 after defeating Republican Richard Vinroot, former mayor of Charlotte.

Easley, a Democrat, ran a campaign focused on improving North Carolina’s schools and public health care. He also hopes to begin a state lottery.

Fighting for citizen rights to medical care is a logical extention for Easley, who focused his energies as attorney general on fighting the tobacco industry and protecting citizens from consumer fraud.

Easley is a firm proponent of patients’ rights, including the right to sue once patients’ appeal for service has been denied by their health care provider.

With education, Easley wants to further develop the widely acclaimed Smart Start program, which was created by his forerunner, Gov. Jim Hunt. The program aims to give underprivileged children social, medical and educational attention before they enter kindergarten, so that they will be prepared to compete with children of wealthier backgrounds.

The governor hopes to shrink class sizes, and is firmly opposed to any school voucher program, arguing that it would lead to a lack of accountability within the education system.

Easley’s proposal for a lottery drew some support in the General Assembly, and it may be sent to a referendum in the future.

Currently, Easley is engaged in a political battle with the General Assembly to balance the state’s new budget.

While Republicans would like to cut public spending by 3 percent, and the more liberal members of the legislature would like to increase income taxes and perhaps tobacco taxes to balance the books, Easley and some Democrats in the legislature have proposed a one cent sales tax increase. They believe the increase will provide state coffers with a sufficient $6OO million.

Bill Bell, a former chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners, narrowly defeated two-term mayor Nick Tennyson in the Nov. 2001 mayor race.

Bell’s county experience, in addition to serving on the Triangle Transit Authority, has come in handy as mayor.

Among the top projects his administration will face is how to deal with less money from the state due to budget cutbacks, making transit in Durham better, tackling crime and attracting investors to downtown Durham and in particular, the long-awaited American Tobacco redevelopment project.

Bell serves a two-year term and reports to the

seven-member City Council.

David Price Democrat David Price represents North Carolina’s fourth Congressional district, which includes most of the Triangle region—the term

given for the area bordered by Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.

Price, who is on leave from his position as a professor of political science at the University, served four terms before being ousted in 1994. He rejoined Congress in 1996 and was re-elected in 1998.

Past initiatives by Price concerned improving education, ensuring safe neighborhoods and good housing,

making health care accessible, protecting the environment and developing transportation alternatives in the Triangle. He serves on the House Appropriations and Budget committees.

Jesse Helms Senior Senator, Republican

Jesse Helms, a Republican from Raleigh first entered the Senate in 1972 and was re-elected to his fifth term in 1996. He is a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry and the Rules Committee. The 79-year-old is a lifetime North Carolinian and is famous for his staunch conservatism. He will retire from his career as a senator, however, when his term expires next year.

Helms was born in Monroe, N.C., and attended Wingate College and Wake Forest University. After serving in the Navy during World War 11, he worked as a banking executive and then as city editor of The

Raleigh Times.

In the race to succeed Helms, former American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole is likely to secure the Republican nomination in the Sept. 10 primary. Several Democrats are running as well, in-

cluding former Clinton Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and N.C. State House Speaker Dan Blue.

John Edwards Junior Senator, Democrat North Carolina’s junior senator, Democrat John Edwards began his first term in 1999 after defeating Republican incumbent Lauch Faircloth.

Edwards’ Senate run was his first foray into politics, following a career in

personal injury law.

In the Senate, Edwards sits on the Commerce Committee, and along with former committee chair John McCain, he sponsored the Democrats’ version of the Patients Bill of Rights legislation. As a testament to his charisma and popularity in the Senate, Edwards is rumored to have been Gore’s second choice for his running mate and is now testing the waters for a run for the presidency himself in 2004.

Will you study too much? Will you study enough?

Will you study effectively?

Will there be a good fit between the way you think/learn and the way your professors teach?

College courses aren't just harder versions of your high school classes. History chemistry and math courses, for example, will require you to think and study in fundamentally new and different ways that are crucial for you to understand.

Make an appointment with an ASIP instructor and better understand the nature and demands of the courses you will be taking, as well as how you, personally, think and learn-right from the start. We are a professional staff with extensive and wide ranging experiences with the Duke undergraduate curriculum, the faculty teaching the courses you will be taking, and Duke students, many of whom think and learn like you do. We are a reliable source of information and a valuable resource for you to use to reach your academic goals.

In an ASIP conference you can develop an individualized study plan that matches the way you think and learn, as well as the demands of your specific courses this fall. You can learn effective ways to prioritize in the face of the multitude of academic and extra-curricular opportunities that will be available. In addition, an ASIP instructor can assist you in deciding which other Duke resources may benefit you.
