Following a highlight film featuring number 31, played to the music of Sarah McLachlan’s “I Will Remember You,” the current star player for the Memphis Grizzlies opened by recognizing the leaders that influenced his life.

He called upon the wisdom of Coach Mike Krzyzewski as well as lessons he learned growing up in a home environment he compared to The Simpsons.

“I had to leam very young that I’m different,” said Battier, who told the audience of his elementary school picture day, when he was the only student who was given a hair pick rather than a comb. “Leadership is not always cool.

Leadership is not always popular.”

Battier, Trinity ’Ol, spoke as the first guest in a series presented by the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy and the Division of Student Affairs entitled “Leadership: A Commitment to Act.” The Birmingham, Mich., native brought the series’ theme to the forefront ofhis speech, which was centered around the Davey Crockett quotation, “Know you’re right and go ahead.” Each part of the quotation represented a different quality: See BATTIER on page 6

College Dean Gerald Wilson said the two main changes he has seen are that more students are opting to take the LSAT sooner—in June after junior year rather than October of senior year—and that students are, in

History faculty sign Iraq petition � Duke professors joined their colleagues from across the nation in asking the U.S. Congress to debate whether military intervention in Iraq is justified.

By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

“A five-year negotiating process was initiated by the Declaration of Principles, with no clear outcome,” Beinin said. “In fact, all of the most critical issues in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict were deferred to the final status phase of the negotiations.”

Beinin said the prevailing Israeli view of the declaration’s purpose was that the Palestinian authority would assume responsibility for Israeli security. However, he held that the Palestinians were never given this opportunity because the Israeli army continued to act as though still entrenched in a Palestinian intifadah. The result was the continuation of bloody conflict, which claimed far more Palestinian than Israeli lives.

The turning point in the conflict came when an

American historians, including 11 Duke faculty members, have signed a petition encouraging lawmakers to engage in serious discussion and deliberation over the Iraqi threat, and to fulfill the Constitutional obligation of a formal declaration of war. A delegation will present the petition to Congress Sept. 25.

The appeal, which has amassed over 1,300 signatures, circulated via e-mail to academics across the country and represents an opportunity for scholars to voice their concerns on the issue “It reflects the dynamic of organizing in the Internet age,” said Edward Balleisen, assistant professor of history. Some Duke professors received the e-mail through the Organization of Ameri- William Chafe can Historians, others from colleagues at peer institutions.

“Academics have absolutely no influence [with President George W. Bush’s administration],” said signer and history chair John Thompson. “There has never been an administration like this; they have rejected the last 60 years of foreign policy.” Thompson explained that regardless of political viewpoints on whether we should go to war with Iraq, a debate is imperative.

Balleisen agreed, calling Bush’s potential war against Iraq deviant from previous policy. “The American people, through elected representatives, should have a full-fledged debate through Congress,” he said.

In a speech to the United Nations last week, Bush outlined UN. resolutions that he said the Iraqi government has not upheld, and added that until they

Expert speaks on Mideast conflict

By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

As Israel and Palestinians continue to struggle with violence nearly a decade after the Oslo peace

process, a scholar of Middle Eastern history offered an explanation Wednesday night for why that process failed.

Joel Beinin, professor of history at Stanford University, spoke on the deep-rooted conflict that has marked Israeli-Palestinianrelations since the Israeli state’s conception. In his lecture, Beinin offered a pro-Palestinian view ofthe failed Oslo peace process that began in 1993.

“The most fundamental reason for the failure of the Oslo process was that Israel’s side never made the psychological shift to see the Palestinians as equals,” Beinin said. “Israel just saw the Oslo process as a chance to establish more settlements and to confiscate more land.”

Beinin lauded the Oslo Declaration of Principles as Israel’s first official recognition ofthe Palestinian Liber-

ation Organization. However, he said the ambiguity surrounding Israel’s evacuation ofthe Gaza Strip and Jeri-

cho trivialized the agreement.

Club promotes campus debate Pakistan arrests 7 in Students found society based on Georgetown model car bombing attack

By KELLY ROHRS The Chronicle

A group ofwell-dressed students is trying to make the Duke community think.

Last Thursday 17 students in business attire met in the Breedlove Room at the inaugural meeting of the Duke Philodemic Society.

Roughly following parliamentary procedure, the students debated in meeting-house style the merits and efficacy of democracy as a form of government.

“There wasn’t a forum on campus forreal issues,” said senior Bill English, a columnist for The Chronicle, who founded DPS and serves as its chair. “[DPS] could absolutely transform the face of undergraduate life at Duke.”

Taking both its name and format from the Georgetown Philodemic Society, DPS offers students a noncompetitive arena for philosophical, theological and political discussion.

English, also president of the Duke Conservative Union, began forming the group last year during a DCU trip to Washington, D.C. While visiting friends at Georgetown University, English and Nathan Carleton, a sophomore and also a columnist for The Chronicle, began talking about the lack of public debate at Duke. “[DPS debate is] different than sitting around the dinner table and saying, ‘Let’s talk about philosophy,’” Carleton said. “There are no other opportunities like it on campus—an extracurricular opportunity for intellectual conversation.”

Each debate session begins with two keynote speakers who offer opposing views on the week’s issue. After brief statements and briefer rebuttals, the floor is opened to all in attendance for

debate. At the end of the evening, participants vote on the issue at hand. The formality of the debate is enhanced by a suggested dress code of coat and tie or equivalent.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan The police arrested at least seven Pakistani militants in raids in Karachi Wednesday morning, including the suspected mastermind of a car bombing last May that killed 11 French engineers and three Pakistanis, officials said in a statement Wednesday night.

A police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said militants who had planned to assassinate Pakistani president General Pervez Musharraf when he visited Karachi Tuesday were also arrested.

The arrests came a week after 10 suspected members of al Qaeda, including a man thought to be a planner of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, were seized, also in Karachi. The statement released Wednesday night said that informationfrom Pakistani intelligence services led to Wednesday’s raids and that all of the men arrested were Pakistanis.

The statement did not identify the man suspected of masterminding the attack on the French engineers. But it said the raids recovered “a large quantity of arms and ammunition, which included various categories of explosives, grenades and even rockets.”

A police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the police had thwarted a plan by four militants to fire antitank missiles at Musharrafs motorcade while he visited Karachi Tuesday. The president’s crackdown on Islamic militant groups in cooperation with the U.S.-led campaign against terrorism has enraged many militants.

The official said the men involved in the assassination plot were members of Harkat-ul-Mujahedeen, a group the police have linked to a failed assassination attempt on Musharraf April 26 and the car bombing in June of the US. Consulate in Karachi, which killed 12 people. It was not clear whether the men accused of planning to assassinate the general were among the seven men arrested Wednesday.

Officials said that investigators continued to interrogate five men suspected of being members of al Qaeda. A Pakistani intelligence official said that Fazal Karim, a Pakistani who led the police to the body ofthe American journalist Daniel Pearl, has identified one of the suspected Qaeda members as the person who killed Pearl. But the official said investigators are not sure whether

we’re doing here is serious. We’re really engaging upon something worthwhile,”’ English said.

Freshman John Korman said the dress guidelines added authority to the meeting. “It added an air of formality, profundity,” he said.

But members emphasized that the dress code is not a primary component of the society.

“As long as you’re bringing good ideas to the table, it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing,” sophomore Anthony Resnick said.

Members said political affiliation was not a factor in last week’s debate either.

“There were a lot of different outlooks and opinions,” Korman said. “A lot of times in a class you’re taught things in a certain way. The Philodemic Society encouraged me to think for myself. It was intellectually expanding.”

Although many of the society’s founding members are affiliated with DCU, people from all political viewpoints are encouraged to participate.

“It won’t be fun if everyone thinks the same thing,” English said. “Reviving higher education shouldn’t be a necessarily conservative value.”

English hopes the group will eventually grow in membership. He said he would also like to bring in distinguished faculty members as occasional keynote speakers.

The Philodemic Society meets Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. in the Breedlove Room. Tonight’s topic is “Greater Security Justifies a Sacrifice of our Liberties.”

State Department debates private security for Karzai

By JAMES DAO

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The State Department plans to hire a private company to help protect President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, a job currently handled by U.S. Special Operations soldiers.

The plan has come under fire from senior Congress lawmakers who argued that protecting Karzai is too important to be entrusted to a private contractor.

Two members of Karzai’s Cabinet have been murdered this year and the president himself was the target of an assassination attempt this month.

In a letter sent Tuesday to the State and Defense departments, Reps.

Henry Hyde, R-111., and Tom Lantos, D-Calif., urged the two departments to combine forces to protect Karzai rather than hire a private company.

“Experience with such contractors elsewhere leads us to believe that the presence of commercial vendors acting in this capacity would send a different message to the Afghan people and to President Karzai’s adversaries: that we are not serious enough about our commitment to Afghanistan to dispatch U.S. personnel,” the lawmakers said in their letter.

Hyde is chair of the House Interna-

tional Relations Committee and Lantos

is the ranking Democrat.

The State Department announced last month, before the assassination attempt against Karzai, that its Diplomatic Security Service would take over responsibility for protecting Karzai from the military. At the time, administration officials argued that diplomatic

security agents were better suited than soldiers for protecting a head of state.

But Wednesday, Richard Boucher, the State Department spokesperson, said the department needed to hire an outside firm because its security agents do not have the proper training or weaponry to deal with the kinds of combat conditions that exist in Afghanistan.

“Diplomatic Security Service is a civilian law enforcement and security service,” Boucher told reporters. “It operates in an environment where the rule of law governs; that is not necessarily the situation in Afghanistan.”

Another State Department official said that the Diplomatic Security Service was stretched too thin to provide enough guards for Karzai’s detail. The State Department was expected to assume responsibility for Karzai’s protection later this month, but administration officials said that might be delayed.

The Diplomatic Security Service provides protection to the secretary of state, foreign ministers visiting the United States and U.S. embassy officials overseas. The unit has about 1,000 special agents.

The State Department will also help train an Afghan security unit to protect the president, but that could take more than a year, officials said.

One firm the State Department is considering hiring is DynCorp of Reston, Va. The company has numerous government contracts, including ones for recruitment of retired police officers for U.N. peacekeeping operations in Bosnia and pilots for U.S.-financed antidrug operations in Colombia.

BATTIER from page 1

AL QAEDA from page 2

“Know you’re right” refers to character, “go” to courage and “ahead” to vision.

He said he had not expected to be a leader of his freshman class, but focused rather on being the best person he could be and then the best basketball player.

“As a leader, it is important to have belief in yourself,” he said. “People can smell fear and indecision in a leader. You have to know you are not going to have all the answers.”

Battier compared courage to the moments following an important shot, when everything seems to move in slow motion.

“Coach K never got on us for missing a shot. He got mad for passing up a shot we had,” Battier recalled. “Don’t be afraid to miss. Failures and successes are markers of our strengths and weaknesses, but at the end of the game, you don’t get a higher position in heaven or better karma.”

He remembered the sweetness of winning the 2001 NCAA National Championship, but said part of the reward was knowing people didn’t think the team could do it.

The summer before his freshman year, Battier was working for the marketing department of McDonald’s Corporation. He remembered Coach K calling him every day, asking if he could picture himself in various scenarios of success.

If he paused or stumbled over his answer, his coach would hang up and call back the next day.

“He was planting visions in my head,” Battier said. “[Leaders] don’t stop in their given field. [Leadership] is a gift and because so, we must use it to affect as many lives as possible.”

Freshman Dan Riley said after Battier’s speech that he had been following Battier’s career since high school and had written in one ofhis Duke application essays that Battier was instrumental in developing his own sense of self.

Senior Obi Amachi said Battier’s lessons were universal.

“You can apply what he said anywhere in life, regardless of where you are, if you are an MBA or an undergrad,” he said.

Amachi said he also liked Battier’s message that even if a person does not have the natural spirit of a leader, he or she ROBERT TAI/THE CHRONICLE should not give up.

“He’s very normal, very real,” said freshman Corinth SHANE BATTIER discussed his experiences with Coach Hunter. “Only he’s Shane Battier.”

Mike Krzyzewski during his speech Wednesday.

Counterterrorism experts in Europe and the United States also said Islamic charities continued to disburse funds to militants. The United Nations says governments are having a particularly difficult time regulating and monitoring the millions of dollars paid out by these charities.

In the latest instance of a possible connection between charities and militants, the Dutch newspaper Eindhovens Dagblad reported last week that the security police were investigating financial links between a Saudi-financed mosque in the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven and members of the group from Hamburg, Germany, that was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

The UN. report said the terror network was “alive and well,” with access to considerable money. Senior American officials disagreed, saying arrests in Europe, Southeast Asia and elsewhere and the freezing of $ll2 million in suspected terrorist money had weakened the organization.

Stopping the money flow is the best way to stop terrorism, said David Aufhauser, the general counsel at the Treasury Department and the chief of an interagency task force on terrorist financing.

“Much of the intelligence war is, in fact, suspect—the product of treachery, deceit, custodial interroga-

tion, bribery and encrypted talk,” Aufhauser said at an international symposium on economic crime in Cambridge, England, last week. “But audit trails do not lie. They are diaries of terror.”

Not every transaction leaves an audit trail, however, and some experts question whether the money can be stopped, given the myriad means of transferring cash around the world. Much of the terror network’s wealth has been shifted beyond the reach of banks, according to European intelligence authorities and bank regulators.

Valentin Roschacher, the attorney general of Switzerland, said the consensus of officials in all major European banking states was that al Qaeda had protected most of its assets by shifting from cash to diamonds and gold before the Sept. 11 strikes in the United States.

“They are able to function, and we believe they still have enough money to possibly carry out other attacks,” Roschacher told reporters recently in Washington.

Nikos Passes, a professor at Temple University and a consultant to the Treasury Department on illegal money transfers, said, “The chief parallel aim

should be to stop the terrorists, because the financing system cannot be completely controlled.”

The Turkish business linked to al Qaeda offers a lesson in the difficulty of monitoring seemingly legitimate enterprises.

Salim, a Sudanese engineer and longtime associate of Osama bin Laden, set up the company in Istanbul in November 1996 at a time when al Qaeda was expanding its financial reach from Afghanistan and Sudan into Europe. In the incorporation statement filed with the Turkish authorities, Salim said Maram would be involved in travel and in imports and exports.

American investigators and prosecutors said Salim had a history of moving money and shopping for weapons for al Qaeda.

In 1994, he was involved in an attempt to buy nuclear material and in later efforts to develop chemical weapons, according to testimony last year at the trial of the other suspects in the 1998 bombings of the American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Salim is awaiting trial in New York on charges related to his suspected role in the embassy bombings.

A few months after Salim created Maram, records show that he transferred shares in the company to two other men identified by the American authorities as Qaeda members.

One was Wael Hamza Jalaidan, a Saudi businessman described by the American authorities as a founding member of al Qaeda.

Earlier this month, the governments ofthe United States and Saudi Arabia jointly designated Jalaidan as a financial supporter of al Qaeda, meaning his assets would be frozen.

Jalaidan is on the board of the Rabita Trust, a Pakistan-based charity accused by the United States of providing logistical and financial support to al Qaeda.

Attempts to reach Jalaidan were unsuccessful.

The Saudi press has reported that he issued a statement last year saying he cut all ties with bin Laden in 1992.

American Jewish settler dressed in his Israeli army uniform gunned down over 100 Palestinian worshippers in a mosque, Beinin said. The incident led to an escalation of violence, yet spurred no initiative from Israel’s prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, to clamp down on extremist settlers who were opposed to any evacuation ofIsraeli forces from the West Bank.

“The fact that Rabin was afraid to establish the precedent of dismantling a settlement is what convinced me that this process was going nowhere.”

Beinin also discussed the Oslo II Accords of September 1995, which he described as a “Swiss cheese arrangement” of Palestinian territories completely surrounded by areas under Israeli control.

He said the accords ultimately failed because Israeli forces continued to expand Jewish settlements into Palestinian territory and refused to halt secret service operations on lands under Palestinian authority.

Although one audience member criticized Beinin for his pro-Palestinian bias, many attendees were impressed with his willingness to contradict the predominantly pro-Israel policies of the

United States government.

“In America, people just didn’t know what was going on because their information was based on the media, which felt compelled to show only the Israeli point of view,”said freshman Andy Kanderian. “I was impressed that [Beinin] could show respect for both sides.”

Hiwar, a student organization dedicated to political and social issues in North Africa and the Middle East, sponsored Beinin’s lecture.

parapsychology. At one time, 40 percent of the people dedicated to working in this area worldwide had undergone training in Rhine’s laboratory.

The research facility quickly became exposed to the intense light of national publicity, as its controversial experiments were reported by the media. Subsequently, fascination with the subject of parapsychology quickly arose and terms such as “ESP” became part of the everyday lexicon.

In 2001, Duke bought the home when the Rhine Center moved out, and the University sold the house this summer to the Diocese of Raleigh, to be used as an extension of the New-

man Catholic Student Center.

The building is to be renamed the Falcone-Arena House, after two Catholic Duke families. Coach Carmen Falcone served as a football trainer and

wrestling coach.

He and his wife, Dorothy, ran Our Lady of the Hills Catholic Camp in the North Carolina mountains for 30 years. Dr. Jay Arena was a member of the School of Medicine’s first class and the first chair of the pediatrics department at the Medical Center. His wife and Dorothy Falcone still reside in Durham today; both husbands passed away in 1996.

The Falcone-Arena House will primarily be used as a house of prayer and a space for gatherings. While the first floor will be open to the public—with a

IRAQ from page 2 Exact language of the congressional resolution remained unclear, but the administration wants the support of Congress to bolster its case in the U.N. and has urged U.S. lawmakers to take the lead. President Bush met with congressional leaders to discuss Iraq and praised them for promising to vote on a resolution before Congress leaves town in early October.

“It’s an important signal,” Bush said. “It’s an important signal for the country but as importantly, it’s an important signal for the world to see that this country is united in our resolve to deal with threats that we face.”

White House officials continued to pressure lawmakers for a swift resolution. A draft could be sent to Congress from the White House by Thursday outlining the president’s specific demands.

After that, debates in both houses of Congress could take place in a matter of days. “If this morning’s meeting is any indication, there is a seriousness in the Congress about dealing with this in a real fashion, and in a fashion that has credibility, and serves the purpose of hopefully promoting peace,” White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said.

chapel, kitchen, social rooms and an office—the second floor will be used as a private residential space for a peer ministry coordinator and three students.

The Center is now attempting to obtain a special-use permit from the Durham City Council and is debating plans for renovation, which could cost about $lOO,OOO. “There’s a group of students working with us to figure out the best uses of the house so that when we renovate it we can support those uses,” Vetter said.

Triangle Park Association, a local neighborhood organization, is content to welcome yet another new neighbor.

“We’ve been meeting with the neighborhood association and they’ve assured us they were happy with the new Catholic center there,” Vetter said.

But it remained unclear whether the administration would ask Congress to renew its commitment to regime change in Iraq, a position lawmakers adopted in 1998. Senate Republican leader Trent Lott of Mississippi said the resolution would probably focus on destroying Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction capabilities and stores.

Senate Democrats are considering two alternative resolutions, one that would directly authorize U.S. military action and another that would authorize it with U.N. approval. Democrat Carl Levin of Michigan, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said a “resolution ought to support the use of force by U.N. member states.”

White House officials insisted they were not forcing Congress to act too swiftly, without pausing to consider the consequences of approving war. If the president decides to use troops—a decision administration officials say has not been made—he would make a separate case to the public, Fleis-

cher said.

“I think Congress is asking the appropriate questions in the hearings that it has, so that Congress can make the appropriate decisions as they approach a vote on a resolution,” Fleischer said. “Anything beyond that, I don’t want to speculate about the timing of it. But the president understands, of course, the importance of talking to the country about it.”

PETITION from page 3 are enforced, military action will remain an option. Iraqi officials said Tuesday that they would welcome back U.N. weapons inspectors, but after meeting with top Congressional members Wednesday, Bush said the move was Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s “latest ploy.”

“I think it is important [for Congress to be consulted] because I believe that the president has no right to engage in a massive military action without discussion and debate with the peoples’ representatives,” said Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe, a former president of the Organization of American Historians and a signer of the petition.

The petition has highlighted what many academics feel is a

clear lack of discussion among the American public over political issues like Iraq. Professors cited a variety of causes for what is sometimes referred to as the “discourse gap,” which range from media complacency to a general sense of American apathy, “People do not speak out individually or collectively about what is concerning them,” said Professor of History Peter Wood, also a signer. “The more reasonable discussion there is, the more all of us get a chance to examine our understanding of the issues and to learn and to change our

minds,” he said. “That’s the beauty of debate.” Wood added that everybody has an obligation to speak out both individually and at the workplace.

Although more students are taking a break between undergraduate and law school, Wilson cautioned that students should not take breaks to make

their applications more competitive.

“I have been planning to go to law school all along, but as far as taking a year off, it seemed like the right time to do it,” said senior Noah Bialostozky. “[Whether it makes me more competitive] depends on what I do with my year off. I’m not that concerned.

I’m taking a year off because I don’t think I’ll have that opportunity once I start law school.”

Although he took a prep class this past summer and has taken several practice tests, Bialostozky said he remains uncertain about how the increase in LSAT registrations and law school applicants will affect scoring and the application process.

Senior Sarah Pinkerton decided only recently to take the LSAT because she had been unsure of her plans for the future.

“Taking the LSAT left the option open for me to go to law school later,” Pinkerton said. “I think it’s natural for people to be worried about the job market and so they are trying to stay in school as long as possible.”

Dennis Shields, dean of admissions at the School of Law said the changes bring about both positive and negative aspects for Duke’s undergraduate applicants.

“The bad news is law schools have the luxury of being more selective, but the good news is that students who pursued their undergraduate degree at Duke will have an advantage over people who went to lesser institutions,” Shields wrote in an e-mail.

While students may not have as many choices for schools they can attend, the overall quality of the programs to which they apply will not decline, Shields said. He added that students must know that while they may not be accepted to their first choices, they will likely get into their second or third choices, “Students who are already in law school are glad they got in when they did,” said Dean of the School of Law Katharine Bartlett. She said that she expects between a 15 and 20 percent increase in applications this year, but won’t be sure of the exact increase until January.

The current average for applicants to Duke’s law school is a 3.4 GPA and 162 LSAT score. Shields said the growing pool could raise the numbers to 3.5 and 163, respectively.

At

this point, it's almost cliche to sing the praises of The Sopranos.

What can be said about the amazing, exciting show that hasn't been penned before by every major entertainment mag in the country? And while it would be fun to list our complaints, the truth is, we haven't got any. The season premiere of The Sopranos was fun, scary, sad and completely captivating.

Here at Recess it is our ongoing mission to observe and, if possible, grope the culture of the student body. Seeing that the spiffy promenade outside the WEL had not yet been christened, we took to the streets, put our ears to the well and listened for the people's voice. Anticipating, that this voice would be meek and muttered, we provided voters in advance with some well-intentioned options.

equal number of votes. Coming just ahead of them on the official ballot was the "Wizzle Edensheezy Liznizzle," or quite simply, “The Wizzle." Colorful write-ins included: "Highway to WELT and "The Cell Phone Service Walkway."

But the voting process has been tinged with controversy, as one write-in—"The Renald Provey Commemorative Memorial Walkway"—received almost more votes than all the rest combined. It turns out that Provey was not in fact a construction worker who died on the job and whose body lies buried in the foundation; instead, Ren is a very alive Trinity junior. We will be contacting Ren with our decision on whether he can commemorate a walkway to the memory of himself.

David Parsons: Basically, had been with the Paul Taylor Dance Company for nine years, and had been making my own work at the same time and was having it produced around New York City. wanted to get [my work] out—nine years is a good amount of time and I learned a lot from Paul, but it was time to move on.

Which piece is your particular favorite as a choreographer?

I have to say I don't have a favorite. One of the things we deal with in this company is the variety of music or movement. So basically one of the reasons 1 think the company has been so popular in the last 15 years is because we really give a lot of variety in the evening. There's comedy, there's some dark works, there's absolute pure dance.... Variety has been a hallmark for the company.

What's the best part of having your own company?

It's to watch artists grow and even to move 0n.... It's satisfying as a director to watch people grow and to challenge them and to watch them travel around the world. It's pretty exciting when you bring someone new on and you say, "Hey, you're first show is going to be in Taormina, Sicily," and to see the reaction on their face.

What is the worst aspect?

Raising money.

Do you enjoy the traveling schedule?

I toured for many years, but I will be in Durham. I'm gonna be there in Durham because we have new dancers and I want to be there for them, but basically no, I don't tour with the company full time anymore. But it is quite a difficult lifestyle.

Do you think the dancers handle it well?

I do, absolutely. These people are world class artists. They've performed from Australia to Alaska, they know what they're doing.

What are your favorite cities that you've performed in?

Sydney, Australia, New York City, Rio de Janeiro and Milano.

What would you say your favorite venue is?

The place where I've had the most excitement and felt the warmest was the Theatre Municipao in Rio de Janeiro.

Why do you think our readers should attend your show?

I would say because they're going to experience a level of artistry, athleticism and physicality that is truly world-class.

Complex Consumption You are, at present, consuming words Each new combination of letters is a morsel for your mind to digest. In Arthur Huang's exhibit, Consumer Complexities, he quantifies this act of mass media consumption through meticulously documenting his own patterns of intake. Until Sept.

28 you can consume this enthralling exhibit in the Bryan Center's Louis Jones Brown Gallery.

The dissected pages of a magazine stretch across the gallery wall, and beneath them lay the table scraps from Huang's feast —alt the words he understood and then cut from the pages of various print material. All the words he did not know cling to the skeletal pages. These words are survivors of Huang's banquet, symbols of his inability to consume.

In the adjoining room hang extensive lists

of what Huang consumed everyday for the span of five months. From radio stations to food to parking meters to The Simpsons, he documents everything—save conversations and words he did not know. Above these lists are his ATM deposits and withdrawals for the year 2001.

My mind was left spinning after trying to, myself, consume the pieces. Not only did I reassess my own consumption patterns after viewing this exhibit, but I also realized the weight of this act as I digest-

ed the heavy meal of five months of docu-

mented consumption.

My sole criticism is this: Huang attempts to make a statement with visual installation art, while denying visual images any currency in his documented consumption. Among the lists of the consumed are no photographs or paintings, and the magazine visuals are left undigested with the

HUH unknown words. In Huang's attempt to make a point about our patterns of consumption, he undermines his visual medium, thus weakening his point.

Minus this small fault, I highly recommend checking out Consumer Complexities ; not only is the entrance priced at every consumer's favorite fee (FREE), but more importantly, it also challenges you to reconsider your own consumption patterns. As all good works of art, it breathes new perspective into your everyday life.

"trie the Hip Hop Film Festival storms into Durham this weekend, I'll tell you what the problem is: It's those hooligan thugs and their filthy rap music.

Hip hop has been getting a bad rap ever since the media started focusing on "rapitalismNo longer do you see videos like "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five or NWA's "Express Yourself," where artists provide commentary on the struggles of their neighborhoods and show a genuine concern for social change.

Nowadays, MTV tells us hip hop is defined by materialism. With lyrics like "Pinky ring worth about 50 bling bling/every time I buy a new ride bling bling," rapper BG, one of the Cash Money Millionaires, states the anthem of today's rap climate.

When it all began, Grandmaster Flash was representing the streets with flows like this: "Got a bum education, double-digit inflation/Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station."

Although MTV would have you believe otherwise with its force-fed Imagery of dudes dancing in front of Lamborghinis in the ghetto, as long as there are social problems, hip hop will still exist in the streets.

And so, it is no big surprise that Durham has a large audience for hip hop.

Recognizing the importance of the art form to the community, the Durham Association for Downtown Arts —with the help of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture at Duke and North Carolina Central University—has brought in the highly acclaimed Hip Hop Film Festival. Completely devoid of the aforementioned “rapitalism," the festival boasts 10 of the hottest independent hip hop films, along with performances featuring both national and local artists. The synthesis of the national and local arts scene and cooperation within Durham (no easy feat) demonstrate the positive impacts of hip hop on the community.

The difficult process of bringing the HHFF to Durham also exemplifies the power of grassroots organizing. Originally, DADA did not have the funding to bring the award-winning filmmakers and national artists, so they enlisted the help of members of the Duke community. Using her university contacts, Paula Cook—a member of the Advisory Board at DADA, an employee in the English Department and a self-described "dirty south girl"—contacted Leon Dunkley at the Mary Lou Williams Center. With the financial backing of the center and the resources at DADA and NCCU working together, this festival has become more than just a Blockbuster night—it became a Durham art event.

The HHFF is a darling example of what happens when the community works together to solve problems, and that, you hooligan thugs, is what takes hip hop back to its roots.

As

Hip Hop Comm This past weekend, Jenn Duerr from DADA invited me over to chill at her place with Kevin Epps, director of Straight Outta Hunter's Point, Todd Hickey, director of Street Legends, and Lila Maes from the Center of Hip Hop Education. Sitting around on sofas, sippin' on some coffee, we talked a little bit about their films and the art of hip hop.

Recess: So Kevin, what's Straight Outta Hunter's Point all about?

Kevin Epps: It's about a predominantly all AfricanAmerican community, and how this community came about during the war efforts. The blacks migrated there to help during the war and built a thriving community. After the war was over, the shipbuilding industry collapsed and left the black community there isolated with all these social-economic conditions—crime, poverty, drugs all seeped in and created a kind of unique situation, and there was all this energy and people. Even the hip hop, it was very much a part of the community.

When

first-time direc-

tor Sam Jones set

out to document

the making of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot a couple years ago, he never could have guessed the drama that was to ensue: Accused of producing something "too creative," Wilco's record company, Reprise Records, dropped the band's contract and refused to release the record. After struggling to find a new label, Wilco eventually hooked up with Nonesuch, and Foxtrot was released to wide critical acclaim. Film Editor Tom Roller caught up with Jones, whose I am Trying to Break Your Heart captured this journey.

Recess; Having had a musical background, has music or film been your primary influence and/or focus?

Sam Jones: Well pretty much, I mean life's a long time... and there's a big session devoted to women. No, definitely music and visual things like photography and film have been my two main focuses ever since high school. I think that really helped give me the confidence to do this without having done a movie before.

NAPTIME FOR TWEEDY: Wilco's frontman hits the deck and Captain Cholesterol follows.

Coming from a background of commercials, photography and music, what made you interested in documentary filmmaking?

Well, it wasn't an interest in just documentary filmmaking—it was the process of making a creative piece of work. All my interests are really subject-driven, and I was interested in the process of making a record. Wilco is one of the few bands that are around today that do that in the traditional sense of experimentation.

Why did you feel that Wilco was film-

worthy?

Well, there aren't many bands —when you think about it—that have that much critical success and yet are still under the radar of most people. I had a good chance of stepping into a really good album, and the band itself didn't have this visual profile or media savviness that would hinder the whole process of trying to get intimate moments on film What did you origi-

focus? Did your target audience change?

I think the big change was I went from being reactive and trying to observe the band to actually having to figure out how I am going to tell this story. There were really three stories in the movie—there's the [ousted band member]

Jay Bennett story, the Reprise story and the making of the record story. The hardest thing was to balance those out and still have a whole bunch of music.

Why did you choose to film the documentary in black and white?

Black and white both aesthetically and thematically simplifies things so you can focus more on the music and the story. It takes away the "time and place" element....

:

Picture Perfect in a Suburban Hell This is middle-America as One Hour Photo director Mark Romanek sees it: a sprawling wasteland of green lawns and tidy streets, where planned-communities and strip-mailed homogenization speak not only of prosperity, but also of quiet desperation. This is Wal-Mart culture at its most efficient, channeling our frenzied rat-race scamperings into a soothing, categorized existence of bright lights and straight aisles. We bring our infections, our insecurities and our secrets to these 24-hour temples, wallow in anonymity, then purchase a quick fix and a smile. If something isn't for sale, you probably didn't need it in the first place.

The alarming new film One Hour Photo, which has just now crept its way into the Triangle after weeks of screenings in New York and L.A., probes at the underbelly of suburban consumer culture in a disturbing juxtaposition of obscurity and intimacy. Robin Williams is Sy Parrish, a multi-decade veteran of the photofinishing business and permanent fixture at the local Sav-Mart. Sy is a self-professed "nobody/' whose zippered nylon windbreakers and beige orthopedic shoes suggest a wholly forgettable existence.

His day-to-day is ruled by rigid routine and a plethora of managerial

demigods, and his personal life by a spiraling obsession with the photographs he develops of a shutter-happy young couple. Their birthdays, holidays and celebrations are the overly bright, artificially enhanced existence we all try to sell ourselves. Blinded by this vision, mired in a bland reality, Sy occupies a no-man'sland of imagination gone awry.

Unlike most of the trash heaped upon us at the end of the summer, One Hour Photo is not clearance-rack fare. The film is genuinely creepy—it combines the palm-sweating anticipation of Silence of the Lambs with the GRADE: Paradise Lost hopelessness of American Beauty into an , engaging plot with an actual message. In a cinematic season of half-hearted corporate complacency, brow-slapping dialogue and easy symbolism for the masses, One Hour Photo is certainly the most intelligent and worthwhile choice on the market,

RECESS

Enter the Pao Lim Durham receives a much-needed infusion of authentic Asian food

drop soup? General Iso's chicken? Three years since coming to Durham, I have never ceased to ponder why these famous Chinese dishes" rarely appeared on local restaurant menus in my native Hong Kong. I will never forget the initial shock of biting into a greasy "egg roll" as I tried my best not to scream.

Nevertheless, did not give up on them. My curiosities of this new species of Chinese food evolved from acceptance to appreciation, and eventually, a growing fondness. But once in a while, the craving reemerges....

In a desperate search for Cantonese food straight from home, found my refuge along 2505 Chapel Hill Blvd. at Pao Urn Asian Bistro & Bar. This recently established restaurant boasts an eclectic variety of Asian cuisine. As a customer, you can pick any bit of Asia you fancy—from the Japanese darkwood interior design to the mixture of Vietnamese, Indian, Thai and Chinese food.

Traditional —however you may want to interpret the word —was the theme of our meal.

We started with cool and zesty Vietnamese mint rolls. The crunch of julienned cucumbers, carrots and bean sprouts balanced well with soft marinated tofu and the chewy rice paper that was delicately wrapped around it. A small slice of mint leaf and the hoisin dip-

The pork ribs were separated and had a tougher texture that required greater jaw-work. The sauce did not have the regular tang, but a greater hint of sweetness. It was surprisingly

Barbecue sauce. soup For the entree we dined on Cantonese roast duck and pad thai, a classic Thai dish of stir fried rice noodles with seafood, eggs and crushed peanuts in a sweet and spicy sauce. The poultry was rightly seasoned and lightly fried, successfully retaining the suppleness and original flavors of the duck. The noodles, however, lacked the heat and intensity of flavors that the wok-cooking should have produced.

When the crispy duck was chewed to the very last bone, we left Pao Lim full and satisfied. As we headed out, a waiter recommended curry fish, the most expensive and least authentic item on the menu. I smirked. But then I thought that if Durham is a town that has transformed greasy egg rolls into an acceptable delicacy, anything at Pao Lim would serve as a welcome substitute.

Phone: 919.544-8880 between Babette's marketplace ambiance, and say, Foster's? In both restaurants, the customers order up front, take a number and sit down to eat. Whereas Foster's has a wide variety of deli foods, such as sandwiches and pasta salads, Babette's specializes in gourmet dinner meals. The spinach and artichoke dip, grilled mushroom bruschetta, fish tacos and shrimp bowtie pasta are all generously and appetizingly prepared; the wine selection is notable; and even we penniless college students can afford Babette's prices. Owner Devon Mills, who worked as the executive chef at The Weathervane and several other local restaurants, has a regular crowd of familiar faces at Babette’s to confirm his expertise in the restaurant business.

However, Babette's is located a good little clip out on Fayetteville Road, and Foster's is right around the corner. Is this place worth the drive?

Sure, if you ever have a terrible hankering for grilled sirloin kabobs or tiramisu.

“I wanted to have Tassy work out with the team during her second semester, but her schedule wouldn’t fit it,” Nagel said.

Instead, for her first year and a half at Duke, Rufai played club volleyball, where her teammates and opponents were wowed by her skills.

“She was definitely a cut above [the rest

ofthe players],” said former teammate Elan Church. “She has this natural ability to keep a team’s momentum going.”

The appeal of playing for club team wore away quickly for Rufai, who wanted to be involved in more frequent competitions than club play could provide.

All things being equal, the volleyball team’s opponents this season probably are not too happy with Tassy Rufai’s class schedule.

Rufai, a two-year star on the Blue Devil club team, recently joined the varsity squad only after her academic schedule allowed it.

So far this season she has flourished in her new role as an outside hitter, raking up 98 kills and a .221 attack percentage.

“The way my schedule was, I didn’t really have time [to walk on] freshman year,” Rufai said, who added that it was only a more wide-open academic schedule this fall that allowed her to come out for the varsity team last spring.

When special teams coach Denny Creehan was forced to have prostate cancer surgery this season, head football coach Carl Franks announced that special teams duties would be split among his assistant coaches.

Although none of the coaches had significant experience coaching special teams, new offensive line coach Rich McGeorge had experience coaching one very special team.

Last season, McGeorge was the offensive coordinator and head assistant coach for the XFL’s Memphis Maniax.

“My wife said to me, ‘I always knew I was married to a maniac, but now I’m sure of it,”’ McGeorge said.

Although the league is looked at as something of a joke now, Me-

George took the job seriously, not letting the entertainment value of the new league interfere with football strategy.

“They tried to make it entertainment, but it was real football,” he said. “We didn’t change our coaching style at all. My only disappointment was that we only played one year.”

The Maniax met with mixed success, compiling a 5-5 record including two victories against the Los Angeles Xtreme, the champions ofthe XFL’s lone season.

Being the head assistant coach, McGeorge led tryouts and commanded the draft, as head coach Kippy Brown was busy with his job See McGEORGE on page 12

Vick claims Bears assistant coach wanted him hurt

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

MICHAEL VICK accused a Bears assistant coach of telling his players to hurt the quarterback.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick said Wednesday that a Chicago coach screamed “take his knees out” during a loss to the Bears last weekend.

Vick made the allegations, which were backed up by teammate Willie Jackson, against Bears defensive coordinator Greg Blache.

“They were coming up to hit me,” Vick said. “I heard one of their coaches scream, ‘Take his knees out!’ That was their goal, to knock me out of the game.”

Blache denied that he wanted to injure Vick, the best running quarterback in the NFL. The coordinator did say he told his players that the best way to tackle Vick was by taking his legs out from under him.

“Sure, if he’s going to run, what are you going to do?” Blache said. “If he’s going to run, why not?”

The coach was clearly perturbed by Vick’s allegations.

“He got his butt beat and now he wants to make somebody look bad,” Blache said. “Unbelievable.”

The Bears were penalized three times for roughing the quarterback in

their 14-13 victory Sunday. Vick led the Falcons (0-2) in rushing for the second week in a row, gaining 56 yards on 10 carries.

Vick also was sacked four times and lost a critical fumble at the Chicago 21 early in the third quarter.

Blache said he told his players, “Don’t dance with him, cut him.” The coach added, “The dude wants to run and he wants people to dance with him.

It’s unbelievable.”

Jackson, a Falcons receiver, said he heard Blache tell his players to take out Vick’s knees after a scramble by the speedy quarterback.

Jackson relayed what he heard to Vick.

“The reason I brought it up was so Mike could take precautions for himself,” the receiver said. “I don’t like to make big deals out of stuff, but he’s my teammate.”

Jackson said he’s never heard a similar comment during his nine years in the league.

Vick said he confronted Blache after going out ofbounds on the Bears sideline.

“It was very inappropriate and uncalled for,” Vick said. “It just shows guys are gunning for me and trying to knock me out of the game.”

Said Blache, “Yeah, he made a comment to me at the time. I said, ‘Son, if you run, we’re going to hit you.’”

Vick, who has 128 yards rushing this season, realizes that teams are going to punish him when he leaves the pocket.

“I know my style of football,” he said. “I’m going to take a lot of shots.

I’m prepared for it. That’s why I lift weights so hard.”

Blache said any quarterback who runs from the pocket increases his risk

of injury.

“We teach tough, clean football,” he said. “We understand the rules of the pocket. We try to stay off people’s knees and try to stay off their heads in the pocket.”

Blache is in his fourth year as the Bears defensive coordinator. Last season, his team allowed fewer points (12.7 per game) than any team in the league.

Chicago defensive back Larry Whigham described the 22-year-old Vick as “just a young kid who got beat up pretty well Sunday. I guess he’s looking for some type of excuse.”

“We don’t try to injure people,” Whigham added. “We just try to inflict as much pain as we possibly can within the rules.”

“I think coming into the season [the freshmen] had a chance to bond, and we’re familiar with how each of us plays,” Camp said, “so I think that contributes a lot.”

“In the beginning it was fun,” she said, “but after awhile it got old.”

Unfortunately for many of Duke’s opponents, Rufai’s schedule conflicts

Whatever breathing room those contributions provided was erased early in the second half, when the Highlanders’ Geraldo Hernandez burned the Blue Devil defenders. The Radford midfielder took Mark Mattern one-on-one at the six. He creeped in on the intimidating 6-2 defender, but then snuck back and fired across the net to turn the momentum in the 54th minute.

For the remainder ofthe game, Duke’s imperfections began to show, while Radford, sensing an upset in one of thenbiggest games of the season, began sending balls over the Duke midfield with an aggressive attack before they got caught running back to chase Jordan Cila.

Playing a three-man game with touch passes in the box, Cila hastily put one in the net over Smith, only to have it called back for an offsides infraction.

Ten minutes later, defender Andy Borman saved Trowbridge from being beat again with a save of his own. On Borman’s pass back to Trowbridge, though, the keeper picked up the ball illegally. Though Trowbridge’s action appeared to deserve being whistled for a handball and a penalty kick, the referee failed to react, sparing Duke from a Radford penalty kick that could have knotted the game at 3-3.

cleared up in time for her sophomore spring, and she began to practice with the team.

She received a lot of support from her club teammates, however, Nagel was not as sure that Rufai would make it.

“When Tassy came out, it was really only on a day-to-day basis, but her commitment was certainly there,” Nagel said.

The squad’s captain, Josey Weymann, had heard a club teammate of Rufai’s praising her abilities. When the 5-foot-10 Rufai came out, both Nagel and Weymann were struck by two things: Her athletic ability and her improvement. When the psychology major began to practice with the team, Nagel noted that she was “an athlete, strong and really serious about it.”

Weymann echoed these impressions, saying that Rufai was “a raw talent and a great athlete. She just needed a coach to help her put that talent into force.”

A few months, later, the captain still has similar feelings. “[Rufai’s] improvement over the past six months is ridiculous,” Weymann said. “She’s a top offensive weapon now, and a smart player.”

Rufai herself has taken well to the adjustment, becoming a true force on the team. In Tuesday’s 3-1 win, the bighitting Rufai recorded 12 kills—the second-most for the Blue Devils.

Rufai said that the major changes

“It’s been a lot of hard work, but I’m glad to have made the decision,” she said.

The 8-4 Blue Devils are setting their sights high and placing many goals before themselves.

“We hope to make it past the second round in the NCAAs this year, and Tassy will be a big help to us in getting there,” Weymann said.

as an assistant coach for the Green Bay Packers.

Despite the fun he had in an alternative professional football league, McGeorge is cherishing his time at Duke, his third run with the University in a span covering over 20 years.

“Duke is definitely a step up from the XFL,” he said. “This is a special place, a very special place.”

Franks adamantly agreed with McGeorge on this subject.

“Well when you go from a league that doesn’t exist anymore to one that does, I’d say that’s a step up,” he said.

After becoming a two-time All-American at Elon College and spending nine years with the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, McGeorge had his first two years of coaching experience at Duke from 198182. During that tenure he served as tight ends coach and had the privilege of coaching Franks while he was a player at Duke.

Both men now say that there has not been any difficulty with the reversal of superiority.

“Rich and I have had a long relationship dating back to 1981,” Franks said.

The XFL was not McGeorge’s first experience in coaching football at the professional level. He served on the staff of the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions from 1983-84 before becoming of-

fensive coordinator for Steve Spurrier’s Tampa Bay Bandits ofthe USFL. McGeorge coached at Duke again from 1987-89 before a brief stint at the University of Florida from 1990-92; both jobs as each team’s offensive line coach came while Spurrier was at the helm. After leaving the Gators, McGeorge undertook a longer job with the

Miami Dolphins as the tight ends and offensive line coach from 1993-99. Before joining the Maniax, McGeorge spent part of 2000 in coaching stints

with the Packers and the Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm.

The Roanoke, Va., native has used his varied experience to fuel the offensive line to notable improvement this season. The line has pushed Alex Wade to two games in which he ran for over 100 yards, and has given the inexperienced quarterbacks Adam Smith and Chris Dapolito time to throw.

“The offensive line is doing a phenomenal job,” Wade said. “With my size, I need bigger holes them Chris [Douglas] does.”

As long as the line continues at this pace, McGeorge won’t be returning to maniac form for a while.

The Chronicle Malpractice?

Hospital fires nurse for taking an 11-minute break; however, she alleges it had to do with her nurses’ union advocacy.

The

Duke Hospital is facing labor troubles again; this time in court. Although the facts are not yet clear, Duke Hospital’s history with unionization gives concern.

Claiming that she was fired for trying to organize unionization efforts, former nurse Constance Donahue filed suit earlier this week against the University, the Health System and several individual administrators. Donahue was no stranger to the effort and had met with current Hospital CEO Dr. William Fulkerson and other managers in the months prior to her termination. Efforts to join the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 465, failed two years ago, but Donahue’s suit claims recent benefit reductions have rekindled the nurses’ movement. When she got involved, her statement argues, officials used an 11-minute break—during which a patient was left in the care ofthree others and suffered no harm as a result of Donahue’s absence—as an opportunity to silence a pro-union advocate.

There’s a lot left unanswered as the suit gets underway, including whether Donahue’s absence was acceptable, who was involved in the firing decision and whether officials altered a rulebook to justify Donahue’s termination. And if everything Donahue claims turns out to be true, Hospital officials must have been very absent-minded to think they could get away with firing her. But in light ofthe Hospital’s attempts to alter the outcome ofthe October 2000 union vote, officials have some explaining to do.

In the months leading up to that vote, the National Labor Relations Board split on several allegations that the Hospital was engaging in unfair labor practices. The board sided with the Hospital officials on charges that the timing of a benefit increase was just coincidence, not an attempt to placate nurses, as union organizers claimed. Administrators were found guilty, however, of trying to scare nurses into believing a union would force a reduction ofbenefits. The vote had to be postponed, an event that many nurses said led to its failure.

Considering the Hospital’s spotty record, it is easy to jump to conclusions. Fulkerson and other administrators should be given the benefit of the doubt. If Donahue’s allegations are correct, however, they would represent a terrible attempt to prevent union organization. While a union may or may not be the best idea for nurses, they nevertheless have the right to decide themselves whether to organize without intimidation from Duke.

On the record Academics have absolutely no influence [with President George W. Bush’s administration]. There has never been an administration like this; they have rejected the last 60 years offoreign policy.

Chronicle wrong in blaming ]eb Bush The Chronicle was half right. The voting problems in Florida are embarrassing.

But blaming Governor Jeb Bush is somewhat akin to blaming the editor of a textbook because you didn’t read it and failed the exam.

For Bush to be scapegoated

by Janet Reno (or The Chronicle) for the failures of local officials is illogical and an example of the type of partisan bickering the editorial claims to abhor.

A simple Internet search

located the relevant Florida election statutes, which The Chronicle should read. Title IX, Chapter 102, Sections 102.012 and 102.014 give the

county supervisors of elections the responsibility for appointing the election boards that run elections and the inspectors and clerks that supervise the boards.

After 2000, reforms for

modernized voting methods were passed. Voting in the vast majority of Florida counties went smoothly. In

Miami, Dade and Broward, there were numerous problems, almost all of which can be blamed on human error (late poll workers, misinforming voters, not knowing how to operate the machines, etc.). Training and monitoring the workers is the responsibility of local county

on votes

officials (who happen to be Democrats), not the governor.

Logistics demand that elections be conducted and managed on the local level. Rules can be put in place by the state but it is up to local officials to implement them.

No voting system is infalli-

ble. The fact that the same two Florida counties experi-

enced problems under two vote tabulation systems indicates a local problem with those actually running the election. But not to the Democrats, and, apparently, not to The Chronicle, either.

Irrational flag debate Two weeks ago, I criticized the tactics of the NAACP in its attempt to remove the flag from the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse. This criticism is lopsided—the NAACP is not the only irrational party in the flag debacle.

A fact I did not make clear in the previous column is that I am a native South Carolinian. I lived, was educated and worked in South Carolina until relocating here for graduate school.

My mother told me before I left for a year in England never to be ashamed of being a Southerner, that good manners and good taste never go out of style and will take me a long way. But a genuine love of the South has not blinded me to its faults. I can defend others who are Fmilv Strever proud of Southern heritage even while p |• 1 Carlisle disagreeing with some of the sentiment.

It is too easy to dismiss Southerners as StrangeBedfellows backward racists. It’s too easy to overlook the similar sins of other cultures when one’s wrath is so focused on a particular one. We can say a culture did a bad thing, but to say the culture is bad because it did a bad thing is a gross oversimplification.

Therein lays my criticism of the NAACFs actions: Calling the flag supporters racists is inappropriate and creates a situation where flag supporters must continue to fly the flag or else admit to racism rather than insensitivity. You can imagine my surprise to find the column, along with my home telephone number, posted to various flag-waving Internet groups, almost every one of them livid over my having called the flag supporters racists (corollary to my view that a representative government should not fly it), a position I had explicitly rejected. This response underscored the point that both sides of this mess are too angry to be reasonable.

For a columnist facing criticism, the easy way out is to ignore the bad e-mail. Not wanting to be a sissy journalist, I attempted to respond rationally. The exchange instantly devolved into outrage that I would not address such claims as, by a margin of 2:1, South Carolinians want the flag flying as a symbol of their heritage; or irrelevant “facts,” such as only 5 percent ofabducted Afiicans came to the United States; or such simpleton logic as: The Confederate flag did not fly over any slave ship and therefore cannot be associated with slavery. One man wrote that, according to my faulty logic, DNA (that’s deoxyribonucleic acid, in case I didn’t know) was racist.

Other “counter-arguments” included: (a) We’re not being insensitive—what is there to be sensitive to? (b) The war wasn’t fought over slavery, anyway. (I’m still not sure of the relevance of this theory, although I am assured it proves I am wrong.) (c) Was I not aware that other cultures enslaved humans before the South and continued to do so afterward? (Again, I am assured that this point proves I am wrong and that it is unfortunate my graduate-school education has not enabled me to see this.)

Several asserted that my refusal to address such obviously conclusive arguments indicated that, deep in my pansy liberal heart, I knew they were right. One woman said that she had come to expect such a cowardly response from supposedly educated people. I’ve no doubt that she has.

She also hoped I continued my studies at Duke, because I had a lot to learn, as if the lesson she thought I needed would be taught at Duke. (Most did concur, however, that I had been brainwashed by the politically correct liberals at my fancy school—yes, I did giggle at this notion.)

As much as these critics would hate to see it, their responses resoundingly proved my point: They are hellbent on flying the flag because they are desperate to prove that they are not racists for wanting to do so. They are so defensive that, when I wrote a column harshly criticizing the NAACP for calling flag supporters racists, they howled in rage at their perception that I had equated supporting the flag with racism.

I stand by my assertion that most people want the flag removed.

Unfortunately, both the flag haters and the flag fanatics are too blinded by their rage to be rational or productive. One writer of a well-considered response pointed out the importance of education and critical thinking skills to debate. He is quite right. Oh, well.

Black females’ dating woes Do Black People Tan? Believe it or not, a young lady whom I am very fond of allowed these insipid words to come out of her mouth. In an attempt to establish some semblance of cordiality I simply responded with an annoyed hiss of disgust. I often cringe when one of my white counterparts approaches me with questions such as this. Being one of four black students in an overwhelmingly white graduating class, I left high school with the realization that a large part of black culture goes mostly unnoticed within the Nikyatu white community; hence the term Jusu “white solipsism” coined by poet and theorist Adrienne Rich.

Hot and Bothered This solipsistic viewpoint involves, “Thinking, imagining, and speaking as if whiteness described the world? A tunnel-vision, which simply does not see non-white experience or existence as precious or significant?” Quite prevalent within student-produced writings here at Duke, “white solipsism” surfaces particularly when addressing the topic of dating on campus.

“Woe is me,” echoes in the banter of complaining white females referring to the non-existent dating scene on Duke’s campus. The usual complaint is that the feeble replacement for dating is the act of “hooking up”, usually with some drunken guy whom you vaguely remember from Math 26L. We are all in agreement (black, white, Asian, etc.) that for the most part, Duke’s campus is not conducive to forming strong romantic relationships.

Yet, an aspect that always seems to be overlooked is the particularly limited option open to black females.

Among the undergraduate class of about 6,300 students at this University, only 11 percent are African-American.

So, out of about 700 African-American students, one could justifiably not expect a healthy dating scene. Our community is already small, and within this microcosm of blackness, it is quite apparent that for black women, the options are limited.

Many ofthe already disproportionate number ofblack males are athletes who create a laissez-faire attitude, implying that a black male should not have any obligation to link himself to only one female—whatever race she is. Innumerable problems arise as a result of this unhealthy ratio of available black males to black females. Black women become like ravenous beasts in search of meat. Broad smiles of feigned cordiality are

I

painted on black women’s faces as they pass one another, yet a cloud of suspicion lingers in the atmosphere. We misdirect our energies and actually begin to wage wars over these black men and against one another, claiming up and down that in fact “she” is the problem, not “him!”

So, one may ask the question, why should black women limit themselves only to black men when these same black men clearly delight in stepping outside of the stifling confines of race? Why should these black women not do the same? This will provide alternatives to the steadfast rule that black women should only date

black men.

Another question is how would non-black males feel

about crossing the color barrier on such a racially divided campus? I will hesitate to say, for instance, that white males will be receptive to such ‘mingling’. This uncomfortable issue has followed me from high school; the seemingly furtive glance from white males. It is almost as though I have convinced myself that there could not possibly be any sexual attraction between a white man and a black woman. I always convince myself that such a momentary look from a white man could not be the blatantly sexually charged stare that I perceive with my own eyes. I find myself creating alternative explanations for lingering touches and coy smiles; surely, this white man could not be flirting with me. This mode of thinking is so prevalent but overlooked. White males and black females seem to the public to be as contrary as oil and water; so impossible it seems, ‘never the twain shall meet.’

So, what is a black female at Duke University to do in such a complex situation? Her struggle is often overlooked on this campus. Black male students are not the only males here, I agree, but neither do we live in an ideal world where color is invisible. The majority of whites prefer to date only whites, Asians only Asians, and yes, blacks only blacks. The answer to my white friend’s question of “Do black people tan?” is duh.

And as we go about the business of gamering an education within these hallowed halls of Duke University, we, like our white counterparts, have the same yearnings tightly clutched within our bosom—to walk arm-in-arm with a lover. To love and be loved.

After all, we are human.

Travel Log: providing help in Afghanistan “We are not Taliban. We are Afghan,” I was told upon my arrival in Mazar-I-Sharif in the north of Afghanistan by the national staff of the Japan Defense Agency, the small non-govemmental relief and development organization with whom I

Dan Randall Guest Commentary would be working for the next three months. I soon found out the Afghan people consisted of five major ethnicities—Hazaar, Pashtun, Tajik, Turkmen and Uzbek. The Taliban are Pashtun, but not all Pashtun are Taliban. The Northern Alliance is just a loose coalition of three ethnic groups all vying for land, power, and control of the opium trade (the source of 80 percent of European heroin) in northern Afghanistan.

They joined forces with the United States to eliminate their fourth competitor, the Taliban, but there were still a few hundred al Qaeda troops in Mazar just waiting to retake the city that had been controlled by the Northern Alliance since Nov. 2001.

I arrived in Afghanistan through Uzbekistan, after crossing the onekilometer bridge the Soviets used in the 1980 invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. We drove an hour

south on a two-lane road—often

blown over by sand dunes from oncefertile farmland, then 40 minutes west past camps for internally displaced people and children collecting sheep droppings to fuel their family fires for meals and tea. We also passed many police and military checkpoints and were overtaken a few times by four-door Toyota Tundra pick-ups full of Northern Alliance soldiers, kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades. Finally, we drove into Mazar, my new home

and the office of JDA.

We were working in two districts in northern Afghanistan, about 40 miles west of Mazar-I-Sharif, to deliver beans, sugar, oil and clothing to families affected by the drought and oppression of the last four years. We were given limited funding to provide food only to a small percentage of the population, even though every family seemed to be starving. So we distributed food to people in the villages whose names were on the recipient list.

These were supposed to be the poorest of the poor with no other means of receiving assistance. But, as in any ‘perfect’ system, the list was not perfect even though we tried our best to verify it multiple times. It was amazing to see the awe with

which people took their food—it meant life for their families!

But, what do you do when: Trying your best means once the

distribution in this village is complete, a widow, without her burkha, tugs on your sleeve in front of the village elders and asks why she didn’t get anything, and begs for food for her children? Trying your best means that in the next 10 villages there will be at least 20 more destitute widows not on the list. Trying your best means that distributing food to 10,000 people is a sign that 20,000 receive nothing. Trying your best means children go unnourished and die.

I went knowing that trying my best wouldn’t be enough. I knew that my own love and strength would fail.

I needed it to come from elsewhere.

But no matter how many Visualize

world peace’ bumper stickers we put on our cars, or how many ideas and theories regarding how to stop ethnic fighting, end famine and drought we discuss in class or other circles of enlightenment, rain would not come and nourish the land and the fighting would not end.

The Afghan people need more than policies and food. They need hope, a miracle. I believe people, liKe you and me, Christian or not, become part of God’s miracle by bringing love, hope, dignity and peace to those in need—at Duke, in Durham, and around the world.
