Pro-union nurse sues Hospital Officials decline to say if union activity motivated firing

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

A registered nurse who worked for 17 years at Duke Hospital filed a lawsuit Monday in Durham Superior Court, alleging officials fired her because she tried to rekindle nurse unionization efforts.

In the suit, Durham resident Constance Donahue claims Hospital officials terminated her because she was vocal in pushing for a nurses union—not because she left; a patient for about 11 minutes to take a bathroom and cigarette break June 26, as officials said.

The suit names the University and Duke Universi-

ty Health System as defendants, and it specifies Hospital Chief Executive Officer Dr. William Fulkerson; Clinical Operations Director of General Surgery, Trauma and Transplant Christine Roeback; and Nurse Manager for the Surgical Intensive Care Unit Elizabeth Hickey as individuals involved in the firing.

Fulkerson did not return repeated requests for an interview Monday, and Roeback and Hickey declined comment. Assistant University Counsel Kate Hendricks, to whom Roeback deferred all comments, also did not return calls.

“The facts are pretty clearly stated in the complaint,” said Stewart Fisher, of Glenn, Mills & Fisher, the Durham law firm representing Donahue. “I believe [Donahue] has been mistreated by Duke and I look forward to the trial ofher case. I’ve represented a

lot of Duke employees over the years and I’m tired of seeing the University mistreat people.”

Before her firing, Donahue was pushing for a

union. In 1999 and 2000, she served as an organizer in the movement to join the International Union of Operating Engineers, which already represents Hospital engineers and skilled maintenance employees. After an October 2000 vote to unionize failed, Fulkerson, Roeback and Hickey all spoke individually with Donahue about why a union was not a good idea, the suit alleges.

In April 2002, after Fulkerson became CEO, the Hospital announced a cut in health insurance benefits for future retirees. Donahue claims widespread discontent among nurses and other employees Dr. William Fu kerson restarted a unionization campaign, which Fulkerson and others did not welcome. Two months later, Donahue left a patient for a bathroom break, and she was fired for the action a month after that.

Donahue claims that on the day of the incident, she transported a patient to the Radiology Unit and left the patient with two physicians and a respiratory therapist. Donahue suffers from a medical condition known as “hyperactive bladder syndrome,” which causes her to urinate frequently. She also was beginning her menstrual cycle. After taking a bathroom break and smoking a cigarette, she returned 11 minSee NURSE’S SUIT on page 6

Council considers development � The City Council discussed whether to develop more land near The Streets at SouthPoint on the outskirts of Durham.

By AMI PATEL The Chronicle

Developers around The Streets at SouthPoint mall will have to wait a little longer to find out their fate after the City Council postponed a zoning vote Monday night.

The area around 1-40 and N.C. 54 is currently rural, but developers began eyeing the land in recent years as the new mall was constructed. Council members heard competing arguments on the future of the land—including from many local residents who attended Monday’s meeting—but eventually decided to wait for another public hearing.

Some council members want to develop the area further, in part to bring more jobs to Durham, while others want to preserve the residential feel of the area.

In his presentation to the council, Frank Duke, a planning director for Durham city and county governments, recommended against further commercialization of the area. He told council members that potential traffic problems should limit the area to a medium-density residential zone.

Ellison Heights resident Helen Ellison, whose family established the neighborhood 58 years ago, said she opposes making the area a commercial zone because she said it would adversely affect her community. “My family enjoys providing a better quality of life,” she said. “Ellison Heights is a quiet, peaceful and safe neighborhood, and I hope it can be saved from commercialization.”

Council member Howard Clement proposed an alterSee DEVELOPMENT on page 6

Much of the new information about Bashir, his group and their terrorist connections to al Qaeda has come from the interrogation of Omar al-Faruq, who was picked up here in June and turned over to the Americans. He was moved for questioning to the U.S. air base in Bagram, Afghanistan.

UNITED NATIONS The White House dismissed an Iraqi offer Monday to let weapons inspectors return there unconditionally, calling it a tactical move that did not change the desires of President George W. Bush’s administration to remove Saddam Hussein.

The White House released a written statement that called the offer “a tactical step by Iraq in hopes of avoiding strong UN. Security Council action.”

“As such, it is a tactic that will fail,” spokesperson Scott McClellan said in the statement.

“This is not a matter of inspections. It is about disarmament of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and the Iraqi regime’s compliance with all other Security Council resolutions,” McClellan said in Washington.

The administration still is demanding a decree from the United Nations that would make plain that the organization will enforce the 16 resolutions Saddam has broken, McClellan said.

It demanded a “new, effective UN. Security Council resolution that will actually deal with the threat Saddam Husseinposes to the Iraqi people, to the region and to the world.”

A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity said the letter did not surprise the administration, because of a historical pattern of such llth-hour communiques and because Bush administration officials had prior indications that Iraq was preparing it.

The administration seeks three things in a new UN. resolution: a list of Iraqi violations of previous resolutions; what Iraq needs to do to comply; and unspecified consequences Iraq will face if it does not.

Parizade, Devil’s Delivery, begin operation on points � Devil’s Delivery Service began delivering food from Cafe Parizade in the First Union building Monday night.

By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle

Students seeking upscale, healthy dining options now have a new alternative. Cafe Parizade, in cooperation Devil’s Delivery Service, began delivery on food points Monday evening.

Duke dining officials believe the addition of Cafe Parizade—a fourstar First Union building restaurant—to the delivery scheme will satisfy the needs of students who are looking for more nutritious meal options as well as provide more employment opportunities for students through DDS. “We specialize in fine Mediterranean dining,” said Igor Gacina, a manager at the restaurant. “We are quite different from George’s [Garage]. Our menu includes a variety of healthy selections such as sushi, oysters and fresh pastas. We also offer rack of lamb to go, and a score of beautiful desserts.”

The cafe is also prepared to offer menu choices to meet the demands of those with special dietary needs. Vegetarians and vegans can find appealing dishes to order as well.

The addition of Cafe Parizade to the system follows more than a year of negotiations between the restaurant and the University.

“The logistics of putting Parizade on points were very demanding,” said Kristen Luneberg, DBS president. “Contracts had to be negotiated between Devil’s Delivery Service and Parizade, and

between Parizade and Duke dining, one to take care of delivery, the other to manage the transacA WAITRESS AT CAFE PARIZADE brings food to customer’s at therestaurant’s First Union building location. The tion of food points.” local establishment is now part of Duke’s food points system.

MATT KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

DDS, a student-owned and -operated organization, was a major advocate of the Parizade’s addition to the list of merchants on points, and will handle all Duke-related deliveries. The additional restaurant will create a need for more student drivers.

“We witnessed the need to add

another vendor on points firsthand,” Luneberg said.

“George’s, the other fine-dining option, has two phone lines. Both ring constantly every night between six and eight. Food was extremely popular, and demand was high. There’s no telling how many calls we missed. Having Parizade as an alternative will be better for

everyone.”

DDS also delivers for Cattleman’s Steakhouse and Francesca’s Italian Cuisine, and previously held a contract to deliver New York Pizza, but was forced to abandon the latter due to lack of demand. Luneberg said he expects Parizade’s exotic nature to keep demand high.

Like George’s, the quality of

the food at Parizade translates into higher prices than at many other vendors.

“Parizade is similar to George’s, and I like ordering from there,” said junior Bobby Zappala. “It tends to be expensive, but I don’t think that will turn out to be a problem. When you’re ordering on points, you don’t always pay attention to that.”

Bread and Kabob and International Delights, two other local restaurants with international fare, have also started delivering on points this semester, although DDS does not handle their business.

“I am very satisfied with the response to the points system. We have gotten a great deal of increased student business,” said Ziad Lobbad, manager of International Delights.

Pakistan hands Pearl murder suspect to U.S, authorities ByAFZAL NADEEM The Associated Press

KARACHI, Pakistan An alleged organizer of the Sept. 11 attacks was handed over to United States authorities Monday along with four other al Qaeda suspects who were arrested here last week in a major blow to the terrorist network.

The five suspects—including Ramzi Binalshibh, a Yemeni who allegedly wired money to the hijackers in the United States and provided them logistical support—were flown out of Pakistan, several senior Pakistani officials said.

The handover took place after a Pakistani official said police were investigating whether some of those arrested with Binalshibh were involved in the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was abducted in Karachi in January.

If a link were established, it would be the first evidence that al Qaeda may have been involved in Pearl’s abduction and killing.

President George W. Bush said Binalshibh’s arrest showed the war on terrorism had not flagged.

“I had the feeling that after September the 11th, that some around the world would grow weary and tired of this effort,” Bush said in lowa. “But that’s not how America feels. That’s not how that fellow who’s been picked up in Pakistan feels, too.”

German prosecutors believe the 30-year-

old Binalshibh was meant to be the fourth suicide pilot in the attacks on the United States.

After he was refused a U.S. visa, he instead arranged payments to American flight schools and made frequent organizational trips.

The FBI believes he is a key aide to Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who is thought to have been a top planner of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and to have plotted several al Qaeda attacks since.

Among those captured and since handed over to U.S. custody was Umar al-Gharib, a brother of al Qaeda leader Tawfiq Khallad, a U.S. defense official inWashington said on the condition of anonymity. Khallad is thought to be one of the masterminds of the deadly October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole offYemen.

It was unclear whether the four militants handed over with Binalshibh were the ones Pakistani police suspect may be linked to Pearl’s slaying. Pearl’s dismembered body was found in May in a shallow grave in Karachi.

Four Pakistani militants, including British-born Ahmed Sheikh, were convicted in Pearl’s abduction, though those who carried out the American’s killing have never been arrested. Saeed was sentenced to death by hanging and the others received life sentences.

Police officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press the men gave them detailed accounts of Pearl’s days in captivity. They said a group of Arabs, believed to be Yemenis, cut Pearl’s throat three days after he tried to escape.

A senior security official, speaking anonymously, said one of the three militants was taken Friday to a safe house where Binalshibh and the others were held to see if he could identify any of the suspects. The official did not know whether he was able to do so.

nate plan that would zone only 13 acres for commercial use, but the proposal failed 4-3.

The council also discussed a proposal requiring certain city department heads and high ranking officials to live within Durham city limits. Council members Lewis Cheek and John Best expressed concern over the legality of the amendment. Mayor Bill Bell said such a rule would ensure that employees feel invested in the community.

“People need to live the experience if they are part of deciding what happens here,” Bell said. “I don’t know why someone involved with.Durham wouldn’t want to live within city limits anyway.”

Council member Tamra Edwards expressed concern over existing employees and the grandfather clause in the amendment. The clause states that employees currently living outside city limits who are being considered for promotion cannot be penalized for not living in Durham. City Attorney Henry Blinder said the wording of the clause had been “narrowly crafted” and was defensible in court. Although they said they agreed with the philosophy of the amendment, council members voted it down because of wording concerns, they said.

If students need to speak with a peer and they have not seen one on campus,

they can call the Office of Health Promotion to set up an appointment with a Healthy Devil to talk “informally, oneon-one,” Griesse said.

“The point of it is not to preach, just to provide information,” said senior Tamara Pardo, who works with AOD. “I love to get out there into the student body and share what I’ve learned and help fill in the pieces that needed filling in [my] freshman year.”

In addition to holding events during special weeks on campus and launching media campaigns with flyers and posters, Healthy Devils also speak to dorms and fraternities. “We hope that they can help through programs and talking with RA’s and dorms to change Duke’s culture and make it a safer and healthier for everyone,” Griesse said.

Healthy Devils pride their programs on the fact that they are entertaining from a student perspective.

She then remained with the patient until the end of her shift.

On July 21, Roeback told Donahue that a supervisor of the respiratory therapist complained she had left the patient. Five days later, Donahue met with Roeback and Hickey, and after they “criticiz[ed her] harshly for her nursing care and her judgment,” they placed her on administrative leave. She met with Hickey alone July 28, and expressed her concern that she “was being made an example in order to scare other nurses and that... Hickey and... Roeback were taking their orders from top level management at Duke with regard to the situation.”

In a meeting three days later, Roeback, Hickey and a representative of the staff and labor relations department fired her.

The suit also charges that Hickey and Roeback falsified a Surgical Intensive Care Unit reference guide by adding an undated protocol entitled “R.N. Cross Coverage” after the

Sengupta also explained that because living groups will frequently ask Healthy Devils to present a specific issue in a specific context, they will custom create programs to fits groups’ needs., “A lot of times groups will have specific requests and ask us if we can put a program together from them,” he said.

“When people see people talking about sexual issues they feel they can talk more freely.”

The suit claims neither the protocol nor any such set of guidelines existed in the reference guide before June 26, and that it was added in after Donahue’s firing, “but [was] left... undated so that it would appear that [Donahue] had violated a written rule.”

Fisher explained that a page of the guide was redone and placed back inside the loose-leaf binder in the SICU. Citing eight other cases, Donahue claims other nurses in the SICU had not been terminated for worse offenses —including the accidental switching of an intravenous bag of insulin and Zantac thatresulted in irreversible brain damage to a patient—and that other nurses had not received disciplinary actions for leaving their patients for bathroom or cigarette breaks.

Fisher said he advised his client not to speak with the press, but added that sheis now working at another nursing job. Fisher also represented a Hospital woman who claimed sexual harassment after a 1991 incident.

Duke also has injuries to worry about, with star running back Chris Douglas reaggravating his ankle in the Northwestern game. The Blue Devils’ leading rusher last season has been slowed all season by the pain, and Franks said he is considering letting Douglas sit-out the Florida State game to hopefully improve the lingering ailment.

However, the No. 1 complaint by Franks about the Northwestern game was the lack of offensive efficiency.

Franks said he felt the team should have scored 35 points at a minimum.

“We stopped ourselves many more times than Northwestern stopped us,” he said. “The way that I calculated it, they had a better defense than we had an offensive play about three times.”

Franks hinted that Smith may have separated himself from fellow sophomore quarterback Chris Dapolito in their rivalry for playing time. Dapolito See FOOTBALL on page 12

After 36 holes of play at the NCAA Fall Preview at the Kampen golf course in West Lafayette Indiana the Duke women’s golf team sits tied for third with Arizona, three shots behind leader Oklahoma State. The Blue Devils, currently at plus-18, will play a final 18 holes today to decide the championship.

Duke’s leading individual is freshmen Liz Janangelo. Playing in her first tournament as a Blue Devil, Janangelo currently stands at plus-five, tied for 13th. “[Janangelo] is handling the rigors of the golf environment as she is adjusting to life at Duke,” coach Dan Brooks said.

“With her team depending on her, she is doing a great job.”

With a two-under on Sunday’s first round and an even-par 72 Monday, Auburn’s Celest Troche leads the tournament while her team occupies sixth place. Vanderbilt’s Sarah Jacobs is one shot back, and the 18-hole-leader Karin Sjodin of Oklahoma State finished the second round tied for fifth.

Duke players Niloufar Aazam Zanganeh and Kristina Engstorm are tied with three others for 25th place.

Zanganeh was even through 16 during yesterday’s round but dropped three shots on the final two holes, including a

Heinberg, Shults win Top of the Hill Kickoff Classic

By SHANE RYAN The Chronicle

PETE SHULTS teamed with doubles partner Ryan Heinberg to win the Top of the Hill Kickoff Classic over the weekend.

The men’s tennis doubles tandem of junior Ryan Heinberg and sophomore Pete Shults started the season off with a bang, winning the Top of the Hill Kickoff Classic this past weekend in Chapel Hill.

Other members of the team also played at the Southern Collegiate tournament in Athens, Ga., but many of their matches were canceled because of poor weather.

In Chapel Hill, Heinberg and Shults competed in a bracket featuring top teams from eight local schools.

After winning easily in the first two rounds, the Duke duo beat Wake Forest’s Trent Brendon and Andrew Simpson 8-2 in a doubles pro set to capture the title.

“Ryan and I complement each other nicely...Where one of us is weak, the other is strong,” Shults said.

Assistant coach Dave Hagymas echoed the sophomore’s sentiments.

“Ryan has the ability to make great shots—he’s a very flashy player—while Peter provides a more steady and consistent presence,” Hagymas said. “They played great together this weekend.”

The two also competed in the singles bracket, with Shults making the semifinals and Heinberg the quarters.

After winning his first two matches, Shults earned a semifinal showdown with Winthrop’s hard serving Clayton Almeida. The two players split the first two sets before inclement weather forced them to forgo a full third set and instead play a “super tiebreaker,” with the first player to 10points taking the match. Almeida’s serve carried him to a 10-5 victory, and Shults was eliminated.

Heinberg, meanwhile, won his opening round match before falling at the hands of Wake Forest’s David Here in the quarterfinals. Bere went on to win the championship, defeating Almeida in straight sets.

“Pete’s worked really hard on his game, to the point where he’s becoming a new player,” Hagymas said. “It’s great to see him doing so well. Ryan was impressive as well, and hell be more than ready to compete once he gets a few matches under his belt.”

At the Southern Collegiate tournament in Athens, Ga., mother nature was the big winner.

The Blue Devils saw their schedule cut short after only one match when play was suspended for the weekend. Before the rain fell, however, freshmen Stephen Amritraj, Chris Brown, Stefan Rozyci, Jonathan Stokke and Ludovic Walter all emerged victorious in singles action. Walter also combined with Jason Zimmerman to post a doubles victory.

Forward Trevor Perea earned co-ACC player of the week honors following his stunning free-kick strike that propelled the No. 20 men’s soccer team over Clemson Saturday.

Four weeks into the college football season, N.C State’s Philip Rivers leads all quarterbacks in passing efficiency. The junior currently boasts a staggering QB rating of 202.25.

Titans’ star running back Eddie George spent Sunday night in the ER after complaining of severe pain in his left foot. Coaches cited a faulty taping, but George has a history of foot pain.

Men’s golf finishes 4th as Sunday storms ends rally

By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

If nothing else, at least they’re in touch with nature.

Just as the Tennessee sun fell behind dark rainclouds this weekend, so too did the glimmer of a first place finish for men’s golf team end up a little dimmer in their first action of the year at The Ridges Golf and Country Club in Jonesborough, Tenn., Sunday afternoon.

The Blue Devils, opening their season against an imposing 14-team field in the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate Tournament, saw their comeback, from a six-stroke deficit Saturday, turn into a share of the lead with three holes to go Sunday, and then become swept up by the storm —instead settling for fourth place.

“I think the weather was part of it, but I also think we need to learn how to finish stronger,” said senior Leif Olson, who tied for first individually with a one-under total of 215 for the three rounds.

Olson led the team all weekend with

his strong play and perseverance on the Ridges’ slick greens, but his triple bogey in the final round showed him a similar fate to that of his teammates, as Duke

gave way to the late Sunday rain and sixth-ranked Wake Forest. The Deacons held on to a team victory with a threeday tally of 876, seven strokes better than the Blue Devils.

Behind Olson for the team’s individ-

ual performances was freshman standout Ryan Blaum, who fired a ninthplace 218 in his first collegiate action.

Fellow classmate Alex Wilson was Duke’s next best finisher with a 227, in 42nd place.

Mike Castleforte (T-46th, 229) and Rob Beasley (T-50th, 229) represented the rest of the Blue Devil contingent, which next heads to the second of their five events in the fall season at the Windom Memorial in Chicago on Sept.

30. For the time being, though, the team will hold its rain-soaked heads high.

“We showed we can compete at the highest level,” said assistant coach Jason Widener, who accompanied the

Junior Leigh Anne Hardin improved four shots upon her first round 78 during yesterday’s round.

Surprisingly, reigning national champion Virada Nirapathpongpom struggled mightily Monday. The No. 1 player in the nation, began the second round tied for eighth at even par but fell out of contention after the front nine. The junior bogied four consecutive holes and finished the day at plus eight, ten shots back.

“She had a little trouble finding the feel and the right thought,” Brooks said.

With six schools separated by just seven shots coming into the final round, the Blue Devils will have to raise their level of play in order to emerge victorious.

Citing his team’s experience and maturity, Brooks appeared confident in his squad’s ability to come back, even on the extremely difficult Pete Dye layout.

“This a pretty intimidating course,” Brook said. “You have to take the bull by the hom.”

FOOTBALL

from page 9

fumbled his first snap and threw an ill-timed interception, while Smith played his best football of the season for the first three quarters. Despite Smith’s letdown in the fourth quarter, Franks said he is happy with his development.

“He hit some passes, handed the ball off well, and made some good decisions,” Franks said. “I thought he played very, very well through the first three quarters ofthe game. He gave us the best chance on that day.”

Dapolito’s chances are not over, however, as Franks still plans on playing him in every game, fearing an injury to Smith would devastate the season. Franks said he feels that to discontinue the development for Dapolito would be a mistake.

“We got some things in our offense that Chris can do very effectively,” Franks said.

Franks praised his quarterbacks for the most part, offering alternate solutions to problems normally blamed on quarterbacks. For the two interceptions, Franks felt the receivers were at fault, and for the lack of offensive rhythm, Franks held the snappers responsible.

Franks thought his team played well on the defensive end for the most part, but gave up too many big plays. On 64 of their 74 defensive plays, the Blue Devils gave up only 168 yards. But on the remaining 10 plays, Duke gave up 262 yards.

“The game came down to big plays we gave up defensively and turnovers we committed on offense,” Franks said. “It was tough watching that tape, because that’s a game we should have won. This team wasn’t better than us.”

The “big play issue” could prove to be an even bigger problem against Florida State, a team known for its break-away talent.

“What we’ve got to do to stop big plays is to make sure we’re taking care of the right gaps, and getting the right calls. In the secondary we have to make sure our eyes are on the right spot,” he said Despite its 1-2 record, Franks believes the team is playing much better than a season ago. He credits an improved running game, an improved turnover margin—second in the ACC—and defense as the main factors for the progress.

“There has been a great deal of improvement,” Franks said. “I guess we’ve improved to the point where its hard to accept that we lost that game [against Northwestern], which is to me a good thing.

Our expectation level is higher than it’s been in a long time.”

Monday’s press conference did have a positive note for the Blue Devils with the announcement of special teams coach Denny Creehan’s successful prostate cancer surgery. He is expected to make a speedy recovery.

—s Column demonstrates ignorance of U.S; history A U.N. challenged

Last

week, President George W. Bush addressed the United Nations on the threat Iraq poses with its possession of biological, chemical and possibly nuclear weapons.

In the speech, Bush pointed out that Iraq has defied 16 separate U.N. resolutions demanding that the Iraqi regime allow weapons inspectors into the country to search for weapons of mass destruction or demanding that Iraq rid itself of those weapons.

Sixteen times, Bush noted, the United Nations has failed to enforce its resolutions with consequences. Sixteen times, Saddam Hussein has defied the will of the world.

In pushing the United Nations to take action, Bush is asking the world organization to do something it has never done—follow up its resolutions with a forceful response. The United Nations has been a strong peacekeeping force, but has never been a strong peacemaking force. Bush’s demand that the United Nations take strong action against Iraq could be a turning point for world security and international law. The Bush administration must be careful, however, not to appear that it is dictating its demands to the United Nations.

The diplomatic signs over the week, however, were encouraging, as new allies emerged in the United States’ campaign against Iraq.

Britain, Italy and Japan have voiced their strongest support, diplomats have made progress with Russia, which issued a warning to Iraq this week, and even countries once staunchly opposed to US. intervention, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, have taken steps toward helping the American stance.

Bush’s speech to the United Nations “brilliantly demonstrated that Iraq has repeatedly defied the world consensus on weapons of mass destruction. Saddam also has not only demonstrated that he has biological and chemical weapons, but he has already used them against the Kurdish population in Northern Iraq.

Bush must now convince the world that Iraq is a threat to the Middle East and to the world. Obviously, Saddam has shown no qualms in using weapons of mass destruction, but the Bush administration and their allies need to outline why allowing Saddam’s regime to continue is more dangerous than the status quo and provide as much evidence as possible of links to terrorist groups.

Iraq, which inspired world ire by invading a neighboring country 11 years may likely continue to oppose weapons inspections and the destruction of its stockpiles. If so, it will only strengthen the US. case for action.

By going to the United Nations, Bush is acting more responsibly than if he engaged in unilateral action and setting a strong precedent for other countries who might want to make a preemptive strike, such as Russia is threatening to do in Georgia or China has often threatened to do against Taiwan.

A UN. resolution that promises consequences if Iraq continues to defy weapons inspections or maintains its weapons of mass destruction may not be able to convince Iraq to comply, but it will likely convince the rest of the world that the United States is serious about dealing with the Iraqi situation and that it is giving its allies around the world the chance to influence and aid the United States’ eventual response toward Iraq.

This is in response to the column by Nick Christie, “Attacking the beloved South.”

Nick, I’m sorry you feel the way you do about the South and Southerners. I wonder if you have any friends there at Duke. The last time I looked at a map it was still in the South.

So you will know where I am coming from, I am white, 66 years of age, college- educated, former Navy Fighter

attack the South and it’s heritage because you are not a part of it and because you are so full of hatred.

You cannot see that the miniscule number of events you focus on do not represent the values and culture of the beloved South. I will not defend any crime or injustice committed anywhere in this country at any time or place,

but I will remind you that the South has a wonderful, rich heritage that you can not and never will know about and experience until you take off your blinders.

I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to have traveled to many parts of this world in the past forty years and have witnessed enough to convince me that living in the South is the best place to be, Durham included.

Throughout my lifetime I have seen and heard the likes of you who complain about and condemn Southerners and their heritage. It doesn’t make any difference what the subject is. ‘Tour kind” feels disenfranchised and you

I love history. It is one of especially hobbies, American history. I suppose you have no knowledge of murders, hangings, etc., in other parts of this country.

It has happened in all parts of this country and the my

world. Do you know about

the race riot in New York City during the American Civil War during which blacks were beaten, burned and hung? But we do not condemn entire regions and cultures because of past injustices that occurred there. You need some education in the history of this country that you obviously are not getting at Duke.

Until then, it is probably best that you stay with reporting sports.

Entire nation must deal with racism, not just South It is with great dismay that I read Nick Christie’s column the “Attacking beloved South”. The title definitely fits the column; it is an unmitigated “attack” filled with generalizations and stereotypes.

As a white male bom in the South, I guess Christie would have me feel guilty about my are heritage. Lynchings attributed as the South’s rogue and racist justice, but they have also occurred in states in the North, such as in New York.

The long heritage ofhate and racism has existed in the United States independent of geography, though it is common for people to assume that these problems don’t occur north of the Mason-Dixon line.

It is our duty as a nation to deal with these problems, and

pinning blame on a set ofindividuals is almost inconsequential to the ultimate goal.

Christie uses an appeal to emotion in an effort to criticize those who would celebrate their Southern culture. What connection does Southern culture have to a common racist heritage shared by the United States as a whole?

Southern culture is about preserving hospitality that no longer exists in most parts of the United States; it is about eating grits for breakfast and barbeque for dinner; it is about Mississippi Delta and Carolina Piedmont blues music; it is even about reading

William Faulkner.

If we attribute racism as an artifact of Southern culture/heritage, then we risk marginalizing it as an issue solely found in the South. Its grotesque history extends

across America, and its victims include AfricanAmericans, Native Americans, Asian-Americans,and almost any other ethnicity you can think of.

As a nation, we must deal with racism, both overt and subtle, to bring to rest a most

embarrassing chapter in Western history—the legacy of slavery—whether it is through reparations or true and complete integration without the socio-economic stratification that exists today in the United States.

To chastise the South for celebrating its culture is tantamount to calling for the nation as a whole to abandon Western culture. It is offers a solution that does nothing to solve the problem.

Cowboy adventures in the international forum

Yogi Berra, arguably one of the greatest catchers ever, combined solid defense with excellent offense to help the Yankees win many World Series Championships. Yet what endeared Berra to all fans was not necessarily his skill behind the plate, but his “Yogiisms” or stupid quotes. My personal favorite happens to be “People don’t go there anymore, it’s too crowded.” Rarely, though, are people remembered more for their hilarious comments than their accomplishments.

J_ .***■ Unfortunately, Kevin George W. Bush is fast becoming the Yogi Berra Ogorzalek of presidents, which is A moment bad for us, since he’s the of your time commander-in-chief dispatching our troops around the world, instead of directing a curveball down and in.

Bush prefers simple, straight talk to

the intricate nuances required for inter-

national diplomacy. The newsworthy sound-byte beats the thoughtful statement preferred by so many of Bush’s predecessors. In all fairness, some statements from Bush are quite comical, like his declaration that Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien would make an excellent Texan even if it wouldn’t help him in Canada. Such a characterization must have given goose bumps to the wily Quebecer, career politician and true international statesman.

Consistently over the last year, Bush alienated foreign allies and set the United States of America on a difficult track, teetering on future unilateralist actions because he refuses to abandon his cowboy image.

By ensuring an eventual Iraqi regime change during the near future, Bush backed himself into an inescapable credibility corner. His

gung-ho stance made invasion an imperative if he wished to command any future confidence and deny Saddam Hussein a moral victory. Bush prefers quick installation of a new American-friendly government, without carefully planning with allies in the Middle East and throughout the world a more sensible route to replac-

ing Iraq’s despot.

The campaign against terrorism currently finds itself eerily paralleled to the Cold War. While the United States lacks a clear enemy that can match it tank for tank upon a battlefield, it is fighting a destructive ideology with much the same strategic nation building policies. Instead of preventing the spread of communism,

the Bush administration works to eliminate terrorist breeding grounds.

By declaring to the rest of the world that “Either you are with us or with the terrorists” the President drew a line without defining what it means to be “with us.” This ultimatum seemingly requires all nations bend to our will

or face consequences.

scared more allies away from aligning

problems afflicting the entire planet—poverty, health and environmental degradation, to name a few. He now pretends to be the champion of world dilemmas while ignoring the sentiments of nearly every single nation.

The regime changes Bush seeks are necessary not only for world security and to ensure basic human rights. This foreign policy should therefore necessitate the removal of every despot for those same purposes. The administration botched its golden opportunity to secure worldwide support to ensure a safer world through multi-lateral actions. It focused the tragedy of Sept. 11 as an affront simply to America, rather than humanity. Now it must regain international popularity and move ahead with clear purpose to help stabilize the world.

The next few years will prove quite possibly to be a new era of nation building. According to Bush, Saddam must be toppled; he always posed a threat to the world and should have been dealt with accordingly years ago after initiating two regional wars, persecuting Iraqi minorities and attacking non-combative Israel.

For that matter, many other corrupt and oppressive governments deserve a change for the good of their people.

The only question remaining is whether Bush and his advisors have the tact and commitment to construct a coalition capable of the difficult task before them while avoiding alienating the country from the rest of the world.

Thus far, he has proved himself incapable of swallowing peanuts let alone diplomacy without choking; hopefully someone will provide the United State’s with CPR when we need it most.

themselves with US. interests.

The threats did not end with labeling. Bush felt inclined now to justify his high noon shoot-outs with more inane speech and senseless comments such as: “By confronting evil and lawless regimes, we do not create a problem. We reveal a problem.” Dictators need not be challenged to see they are a menace. The dilemma is always how to deal with the rogue state. Iraq currently tops Bush’s quandary list, yet he eliminated quick and easy methods to attack the Iraqi question. His war rhetoric scared the international community, specifically the Arab states and thus alienated possible supporter’s who prefer more diplomatic attempts to reach a resolution before calling upon armed forces to solve the conflict. France, Canada and Australia prefer United Nations approval before dispatching soldiers to remove Saddam Hussein.

It was not until last week that Bush appeared to realize the need for international support, yet in doing so

revealed his single-track, war-inclined mind. He is so bent on war that while mental construction in Iraq.

There were approximately six Duke students in attendance. Even more exciting is this week’s on-campus Hip Hop Film Festival —a fascinating event combining art, education, and entertainment. One would expect this kind of grassroots artistic and social activity to find both leaders and an audience at a University, but unfortunately the festival is a promising exception, not the rule.

Duke has largely neglected to create a significant relationship with Durham. This University boasts of public policy courses that teach “leadership and morality” but real commitment to community building comes in the most token form. It pledges tens of thousands of dollars to cultural groups that put on pretty dances and then discourages any interaction with the diverse and challenging population outside its walls. It paralyzes our social life yet neglects to provide information about alternatives—even WXDU lacks the capacity to broadcast on campus about local events.

But the students still choose to morosely chow down on this dish that Duke cooks up. It’s rotten: If people leave after four years convinced that there is no community here worth their time and resources, then they go forth into a world of communities with little more to offer. And they, in turn, will have less to offer back—in which case this institution will have utterly failed them.

It’s up to students, then, to find the education you can’t get in a classroom. Many will be perfectly happy to keep fighting crowds in the sweaty s—holes on Ninth Street, but others—and it doesn’t take many to get started—-will pick up an Independent, set up independent study projects with DADA, try to bring artists and audiences to the Coffeehouse and wander off campus more often. After all, there’s nothing keeping them here.
