By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle The number of scholarships for female athletes climbed a percentage point last year to 41.2 percent, according to a new report released by the University Wednesday.

Despite the small increase, officials said they could reach their ultimate goal of 48 percent as early as next year.

The report, which is required of all universities by the Higher Education Act, showed continued growth in the number and the percentage of scholarships for women, total expenditures on women’s teams and revenue generated by the women’s basketball team.

About 91 scholarships were awarded to women athletes for the 2001-2002 season, according to the report.

Chris Kennedy, associate director of athletics, said about nine more scholarships have been added this year in rowing and track and field, and six more could be added in 2003-2004.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, mandates that participation opportunities for male and female students should be substantially proportionate to overall enrollment percentages. Duke’s undergraduate female enrollment last year was 48.7 percent.

ROCKVILLE, Md. The manhunt for the roving suburban sniper focused on two people being sought by the police Wednesday night as witnesses, who were reported on the run and the subjects of an intensive East Coast dragnet.

After three weeks of fruitless hunting by law enforcement officials, the search for the sniper suddenly leaped toward solid progress with the announcement of the search for the two.

One man was identified by the police as John Alan Williams, also known as John Alan Mohammad, a 42-year-old military veteran. The police said he was accompanied by a juvenile, whom they did not identify. An alert for a car presumed to be carrying the two was issued at 10 p.m., calling on area police to be on the lookout for a 1990 blue or burgundy Chevrolet Caprice bearing the New Jersey license plate NDA-21Z. The focus on the two capped an intense day in which the search for the sniper, who has killed 10 people and wounded three, shifted westward across the country as federal investigators began searching a home in Tacoma, Wash., for evidence that might be linked to the shootings here on the East Coast.

The search was televised live nationally explaining that the hunt had become particularly fluid with

The lookout for the two and the car was issued soon after.

Federal investigators said that searchers were looking for shell casings or bullets in the yard of a duplex in suburban Tacoma where one of the two might have once lived.

A federal official said the two were being sought for questioning about possible ties to “skinhead militia” groups.

Federal agents noted the Tacoma search was being conducted with the cooperation of the current resident there and with federal agents formally declaring it a crime scene search in combing the grounds.

Officials would not comment on reports that one of the people being

The witness described a dark Chevrolet or Chrysler speeding away immediately after a woman shopper was shot in the head as she loaded packages into her car.

Residents here as elsewhere were transfixed by the live TV coverage.

But they remained mindful that the sniper was last heard from with deadly certitude Tuesday in the single-shot killing of a 35-year-old bus driver in the Aspen Hill section ofthe northern Washington suburbs here in Montgomery County.

The local manhunt by hundreds of police officers has been fruitless so far. The sniper, meanwhile, has defied dragnets and steadily cut down his targets at widespread points across the area, preying as far as the Richmond, Va., area, 100 miles to the south.

The Tacoma search indicated that federal investigators have several far-reaching leads to pursue. “It may not amount to anything,” one federal agent conceded, emphasizing that the Tacoma search proceeded from one of the many tips that investigators are pursuing.

Gender forum features discussion on intellectual life Panelists say academic and social pressures force Duke students to accept exaggerated ideals

By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

Students gathering at a forum Wednesday night might have been surprised when the panel discussion drifted from the notion of gender and notions of “ideals” to the state of Duke’s intellectual climate during the question-and-answer period.

About 40 people—mostly undergraduate students—attended the forum, sponsored by Duke Inquiries on Gender, the student arm ofthe University gender initiative that President Nan Keohane announced last spring.

The eight-member panel included conservatives and liberals, students, administrators and faculty.

“It’s certainly true that most Duke students are used to excelling without having to try terribly hard,” said Lawrence Evans, professor emeritus of physics.

“They get up here and realize not everybody makes it into the top half and that comes as a shock.”

Panelist Mary Adkins said that academic and social pressure forces students to create ideals by which they gauge their success. “[Students] find some way to stand out,” she said. “Too often, there are institutions in place that encourage sorts ofbehavior that are unhealthy and make people unhappy.” Adkins, a junior and Chronicle columnist, said those tendencies disproportionately impact women.

Franca Alphin, student health services dietitian, agreed, noting that students who feel intense pressures to fulfill their goals may develop unhealthy eating habits in an attempt to gain a sense of control. “[Disordered eating] is not about attracting the opposite sex—it is about not feeling like you have control over your life.”

Other panelists suggested that other issues influence disordered eating. “Eating diseases seem to be a fundamentally ‘rich’ disease,” said panelist Bill English, a senior and Chronicle columnist. English argued that women who fall into a higher

John Staddon, James B. Duke professor of psychology and brain sciences, harshly criticized what he perceived as a lack of intellectually engaging activity on campus. “Duke seems to me incredibly impoverished,” he said. “I have never been under the illusion that this is an intellectual university.”

Students commented on campus social climate as well.

“If I try and bring up issues of homophobia or anti-racism in a social conversation, I get shot down,” said senior Kelly Quirk. “When it comes down to the two hours a day when you aren’t doing work, people don’t want to talk about this stuff.”

disagreed Audience members whether the blame for unhealthy gender images lies with the greek-centric social order. One sophomore pointed to the rush process as evidence of a student tendency to judge people based on physical attributes.

For all of the frustration expressed with social climate, participants agreed that change would have to come not from administrators, but from students. “As an administrator I can only fail,” said Leon Dunkley, director of the Mary Lou Williams Center.

“Solutions aren’t going to come from the Flowers and Allen Buildings,” said English, who opined that administrative engineering exacerbates problems.

“I don’t think this committee should try and force discussions where there aren’t any.”

2002 ELECTION Bowles, Dole tackle jobs, growth

Midterms serve as Bush referendum The Nov. 5 elections will serve as a referendum on George W. Bush’s presidency thus far, according to political commentators. Bush has been asking voters in House and Senate elections to grant him a Congress that will deliver him deeper tax cuts and free rein to build a domestic record he can carry into his own re-election campaign. The White House is working hard to keep Republican control in the House and gain a majority in the Senate, where the Democrats currently hold a one-seat advantage. The President has raised over $163 million for Republican candidates, among them Senate hopeful John Thune, who is running in a close race against Democrat Tim Johnson in Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle’s home state of South Dakota. Vice President Dick Cheney has raised over $22 million for candidates in 74 campaign appearances thus far.

In the U.S. Senate race, James Carville’s famous 1992 maxim apparently still holds true.

Both major-party candidates, Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Elizabeth Dole are volleying to take the upper ground on a variety of economic issues—including tax reform and President George W. Bush’s economic record, North Carolina manufacturing job protection, state business growth and agricultural policy.

Hearing to focus on soft money financing

The Federal Election Commission will decide how parties can direct funds

By SHARON THEIMER The Associated Press

Election regulators preparing to implement the nation’s new campaign finance law are stepping into one of its thorniest issues: to what extent political parties, interest groups and candidates can legally coordinate their spending.

Many of the key players, including the Democratic and Republican National Committees, business lobbies and campaign watchdog groups, are offering their views at a two-day Federal

Election Commission hearing that started Wednesday.

The new law, due to take effect Nov. 6, the day after the election, will bar the national party committees from raising unlimited donations from businesses, unions and others. The parties can currently spend such contributions, known as soft money, on general party activities such as

get-out-the-vote drives and ads on party issues.

The law’s sponsors, including Sens John McCain, R-Ariz., and Russ Feingold, D-Wis., say strong coordination rules are crucial to its success. If too high a degree of coordination is allowed, soft money will simply find a new way into federal elections through outside groups working in tandem with parties and candidates, they say.

Lobby groups including the Republican-leaning U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Democratic-leaning AFLCIO, both conducting get-out-the-vote drives across the nation in this fall’s election, told the commission in written comments that its rules must protect the constitutional rights to free speech and free association.

The Supreme Court has not yet taken into consideration the coordination issue.

The Holistic Enrichment for At-Risk

JANEHETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

RUSH HOUR ON U.S. 15-501 and other transportation congestion is just one sign of increasing urban sprawl, the subject of a new study that adds to concerns about growth.

Study ranks Triangle 3rd for sprawl, raises concern

By APARNA KRISHNASWAMY The Chronicle

A recent report that ranked the Research Triangle Park region the third “most sprawling” area in the country has prompted concern among community members, as more residents encounter long stretches ofroad between home and work.

Reid Ewing of Rutgers University and Rolf Pendall of Cornell University examined 83 metropolitan areas nationwide and ranked the Triangle behind the Greensboro/Winston-Salem area and the Riverside/San Bernardino region in California.

The researchers used four variables to measure urban sprawl—residential density, connectivity of roads and streets, strength of downtown activity centers and mixture of homes with shopping and workplace areas. A low score on these variables indicated high urban sprawl.

The report, which is the first in a series that will focus on the different effects of sprawl, focused on transportation.

“This should be a big alarm for our region,” said Cara Crisler, executive director of the North Carolina Smart Growth Alliance. “The conclusion from this report is that regions getting low scores on these variables are experiencing negative im-

pacts, like traffic fatalities, for example.”

Crisler explained that there is a direct link between urban sprawl and a reduced quality of life.

“If these regions want to improve the quality of life, they need to look at how they are growing. We need to coordinate transportation patterns with land-use patterns and reinvest in existing communities that are using landspace,” she said.

Crisler admitted, however, that it will take a concerted effort to attract businesses to the downtown Durham area.

“If people are living there, business owners will see that the market is there.

But both have to happen at the same time,” she added. ‘The government can help alleviate the tax burden on being able to use buildings downtown.”

One reason for the Triangle’s high rank, Crisler said, is the lack of a central authority to coordinate growth efforts.

She added that the study isn’t likely to change people’s attitudes on sprawl.

“There is still a perception that the American dream means a half-acre lot with a large house on it. This requires suburban development and urban sprawl,” she said.

Johanna Reese, a public information spokesperson for the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, said she wasn’t surprised by the study results.

“North Carolina’s population has been growing quickly and people have been moving out of the city for a while now,” she said.

She cited several environmental impacts of urban sprawl. Among these are negative effects on water and air quality and the depletion of natural open spaces and forests.

“The more sprawl you have, the more paved areas there are, and there will be a lot of runoff when it rains,” Reese said. “This carries pollution into streams. The farther people live outside the city where most of their jobs are, the farther they have to drive into the city and the more cars that will be on the roads, releasing a lot of toxic emissions into the air.”

Reese seemed optimistic, however, about the efforts being made by groups in the area to alleviate these problems.

“Ordinances, for example, have been passed to encourage developments downtown. There are state tax incentives for using downtown space,” she said.

Richard Bell, project officer at Active Living by Design, an organization that encourages physical activity in community design and public policy, discussed the health impacts ofurban sprawl.

“The report indicates that we are weakest in the category that measures the amount of space between homes and shopping centers or workplaces. This makes it difficult for people to just walk to those areas,” he said.

Teens program, which will begin Nov. 4, is the result of a $1.3 million federal grant and years of planning on the part of the Schools of Social Work and Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Samarkand staff. The program will provide the girls with 24hour care, based on a holistic rehabilitative approach. Additionally, the HEART program will boast new residence facilities and a staff of 17—a ratio ofless than oneTo-one—nearly unheard of in rehaSee HEART on page 16

Christie looks back: 30 years after reforms

By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

Looking back 30 years after the socalled Christie Report redefined faculty governance at the University, James B. Duke Professor ofLaw George Christie said the faculty’s role in influencing University policy remains solid and the changes established then remain as important as ever.

The report was submitted to the Academic Council in April 1972 by the Committee to Study the Nature and Role of

the Academic Council, which Christie chaired. The report aimed to establish a coherent system for communicating faculty recommendations on University policy to the administration. Among other provisions, it called for administrators to give the council ample time to discuss major issues before they were brought before senior officials or the Board ofTrustees for action.

Christie stressed greater accountability for administrators as a major achievement of the reforms.

“On the whole, the administration has shown good faith and has brought major proposals before the council,” he said. “I think it’s led to better decisionmaking.”

He also said the reforms increased the faculty’s say in planning.

“It’s the job of the president and the Board of Trustees to run the University,

but they should let us know what they’re doing,” he said. “I think we’ve done that and I’m pleased.”

The report, which contained 10 recommendations addressing a number of Academic Council issues, also redefined a “faculty representative” as someone who was appointed by the Executive Committee of the Academic Council. This eliminated the practice whereby “an administrator could consult with a couple of people, maybe his cronies, and say, T spoke with the faculty,’” Christie said.

Provost Peter Lange said administrators also benefited from consulting representatives who truly spoke for the faculty.

“From my standpoint, [the reforms] really assure that we consult with and work with the faculty effectively on the major issues that affect the University,” he said.

Christie said the council’s influence has lent the University legitimacy. “You would have had serious problems, given all that has happened in the last 30 years, if it looked like [the administration] was a top-down regime,” he said.

He also said having an established system to distill faculty opinion was even more important now than in the past, considering the differences between today’s faculty and the faculty circa 1972. “It’s a larger faculty with less commonality [today], so I think [an Academic Council] like what we have is even more important,” he said.

COUNCIL from page 1 ident and one or two administrators serving as ex officio members.

The seven-year-old council encountered a severe test when black students staged an Allen Building takeover in February 1969 and issued a series of ultimatums during a 10-hour standoff with administrators and police.

At an impromptu meeting of about 1,000 students and faculty members in Page Auditorium, Professor of History Thomas Rainey earned a standing ovation when he said the cause for the takeover was not the racist attitudes of the “grits and rednecks” but the faculty, who “sold out and gave [University President Douglas] Knight a blank check to bring the pigs down on us.”

The faculty responded by passing a resolution supporting the president and the Trustees, though the debate was heated. About 40 faculty members walked out on the meeting when a motion to delay any ultimatum against the students failed.

In another political debate of the era, the Vietnam War, the Academic Council adjourned in disorder for the only time in its history after a 1970 debate about terminating the Duke ROTC program was disrupted by protesters. Despite the incident, the program remained on campus.

The Christie Report

After years of administrative dominance, the role of the faculty in University decision-making was codified in an April 1972 report by the Committee to Study the Nature and Role of the Academic Council, chaired by James B. Duke Professor of Law George Christie.

The Christie Report, as it was known, specified that anyone considered to be a “faculty representative” to a University committee must have been nominated by the Executive Committee of the Academic Council. This mandate aimed to end a long-standing pattern—administrators chaired committees and appointed a few faculty members of their own choosing.

The report also established the Christie Rule, which changed the power balance at the University by requiring an inviolable role for faculty consultation.

“Except in emergencies, all major decisions and plans of the administration that significantly affect academic affairs should be submitted to the Academic Council for an expression of views prior to implementation,” the Christie Committee wrote. “The views expressed by the Academic Council should be transmitted, along with the administration’s proposals, to the Board ofTrustees.”

New Developments, New Debates Discussions in the Academic Council have changed the course, for better or worse, of a number of expansion projects across the University.

Perhaps the most rancorous debate in the council’s history began when repre-

sentatives of former U.S. President Richard Nixon, Law ’37, entered into discussions with Duke President Terry Sanford in July 1981 about providing a home for the Nixon Presidential Library.

The Academic Council, which had not been consulted in accordance with the Christie Rule, threatened to call an emergency summer meeting before Sanford persuaded Nixon representatives to allow the decision-making process to play out

fully. Strong faculty opinion against a proposed 110,000 square-foot museum eventually led the council to vote 35-34 against continued negotiations, and the project was eventually scrapped.

Construction of Duke Hospital North, which opened in 1980, also spurred a contentious battle. Throughout the late 19705, debate raged in the council as to whether the hospital was worth the considerable financial commitment.

“As I recall, the entire assets of the University, including the Duke Forest, had to go on the table as collateral,” wrote Fluke, a professor emeritus of zoology.

In addition to the hospital, several expansion projects later earned the backing of the council, including the Levine Science Research Center.

The Modem Era The Academic Council has moved into this millennium exhibiting a commitment to an assortment of issues, including fundraising, diverse representation and the more routine issues that comprise the bulk of the council’s business.

A harassment policy was discussed and endorsed by the Academic Council in April 1993 after widespread debate the previous fall when a draft of the policy had referred only to sexual harassment.

President Nan Keohane signed off on the policy in November of that year and it went into effect Jan. 1,1994.

Sometimes, by chance or design, council meetings have led to unexpectedly widespread implications. For example, in the early 19905, a parade of deans came into a series of meetings to explain why their schools’ budgets should not be cut.

The immediate result of this, Fluke said, was the University’s current capital campaign, now approaching its $2 billion goal.

“In 40 years the council has generated a tremendous stream of low-profile stuff, the view of the faculty on the detailed ordinary business of the University” Fluke wrote.

DUKE STUDENT GOVERNMENT VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS LYNDSEY BEAL speaks to the Legislature about the proposed changes to the dean’s excuses policy.

chair, said the new policy would be more convenient for sick students by eliminating a trip to the student health center.

He added that DSG’s support of the proposal was important to its ultimate acceptance by both the Arts and Sciences Council and the Engineering Council. Many faculty members have been hesitant to support the proposal because of a perception of tepid student support.

“In DSG, we’re really getting a sense of what students want because, of course, students are going to be the primary supporters of this,” said Kishore, a junior. “If they give their support, then faculty will follow.”

Judith Ruderman, chair of the Academic Integrity Council created last year, and vice provost for academics and administration, said faculty may not be ready to embrace the climate of trust the new policy promotes.

“This is a delicate issue,” she said.

“Some faculty don’t want to be put in the position of determining who’s sick and who’s sicker than the next student who didn’t miss the next assignment.”

A new subcommittee of the Academic Integrity Council—co-chaired by Beal, a senior, and junior Sourav Sengupta, the Honor Council’s vice president for external affairs—will study the dean’s excuse policy in general, making further recommendations to the council.

At the meeting, some DSG legislators questioned the effectiveness of the policy.

Troy Clair, DSG vice president for

although the new policy may provide a symbolic advantage by showing increased trust in students, grades may suffer if more students miss class.

“Yes, [in] the new honor code, trust [and] integrity [are] symbolic, but your grade is not symbolic,” said Clair, a senior. “We’ve seen from surveys over past years that there is a question of honor at Duke.”

Other legislators said they trusted the current system and the requirement of doctor’s approval more than the individual whims of faculty. “I have a lot of professors that I probably wouldn’t want to put this choice in their hands,” said sophomore

Avery Capone, who wondered if students could still opt to use the current excuse policy.

thought the policy would allow students to cheat more easily.

“We have to ask, Ts this a policy that shows that students can trust us to build institutions that do not promote cheating?”’ he said.

Junior Avery Reaves, however, said the policy would encourage a trustworthy

atmosphere,

citing

Davidson College’s honor system—where students can take exams when they please without a proctor, “That’s the kind of community that I want to live in,” he said.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: DSG legislators approved charters of the Canadian Student Association, the Force Air Club, the Persian Students Association and Learning Identity for Environment.

It also appropriated $1,965 to Sigma Chi fraternity for its Derby Days programming.

“I am ready to dive into the issues facing the community, and to take the department to a level of success to make it the best police department in the state,” he said in a statement.

At a forum for the three finalists earlier this week, Scott emphasized the importance of working with the community to prevent crime. He also discussed the importance of curbing gang violence through a combina-

Bell said that in addition to performing background checks, Conner talked to insiders who spoke very highly of Scott.

Scott’s selection concludes the city’s second search for a police chief since the position was vacated Feb. 1.

DEPO-PROVERA* Contraceptive Injection

•

(medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension. USP)

•

•

This product is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.

What is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a form of birth control that is given as an intramuscular injection (a shot) in the buttock or upper arm once every 3 months (13 weeks). To continue your contraceptive protection, you must return for your next injection promptly at the end of 3 months (13 weeks). DEPO-PROVERA contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a chemical similar to (but not the same as) the natural hormone progesterone, which is produced by your ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle. DEPO-PROVERA acts by preventing your egg cells from ripening. If an egg is not released from the ovaries during your menstruaf cycle. it cannot become fertilized by sperm and result in pregnancy. DEPO-PROVERA also causes changes in the liningof your uterus that make it less likely for pregnancy to occur.

How effective is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

The efficacy of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection depends on following the recommended dosage schedule exactly (see “How often do I get my shot ofDEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection! ). To make sure you are not pregnant when you first get DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection, your first injection must be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period; ONLY within the first 5 days after childbirth if not breast-feeding; and. if exclusively breast-feeding, ONLY at the sixth week after childbirth. It is a long-term injectable contraceptive when administered at 3-month (13-week) intervals.

DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is over 99% effective, making it one of the most reliable methods of birth control available. This means that the average annual pregnancy rate is less than one for every 100 women who use DEPO-PROVERA. The effectiveness of most contraceptive methods depends in part on how reliably each woman uses the method. The effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA depends only on the patient returning every 3 months (13 weeks) forher next injection. Your health-care provider will help you compare DEPO-PROVERA with other contraceptive methods and give you the information you need in order to decide which contraceptive method is the right choice for you.

-

The following table shows the percent of women who got pregnant while using different kinds of contraceptive methods. It gives both the lowest expected rate of pregnancy (the rate expected in women who use each method exactly as it should be used) ana the typical rate of pregnancy (which includes women who became pregnant because they forgot to use their birth control or because they did not follow the directions exactly).

What if I want to become pregnant after using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

Because DEPO-PROVERA is a long-acting birth control method, it takes some time after your last injection for its effect to wear off. Based on the results from alarge study done in the United States, for women who stop using DEPO-PROVERA in order to become pregnant it is expected that about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 10 months after their last injection: about two thirds of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months; about 83% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 15 months; and about 93% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 18 months after their last injection. The length of time you use DEPO-PROVERA has no effect on how longit takes sou to become pregnant after you stop using it What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

I .Irregular Menstrual Bleeding The side effect reported most* frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for contraception is a change in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using DEPO-PROVERA, you might have one or more of the following changes: irregular or unpredictable bleeding or spotting, an increase or decrease in menstrual bleeding, or no bleeding at all. Unusually heavy or continuous bleeding, however is not a usual effect of DEPO-PROVERA: and if this happens, you should see your health-care provider right away. With continued use of DEPO-PROVERA, bleeding usually decreases, and many women stop having periods completely.

In clinical studies of DEPO-PROVERA, 55% of the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding (amenorrhea) after I year of use, and 68% ofthe women studied reported no menstrual bleeding after 2 years of use. The reason that your periods stop is because DEPO-PROVERA causes a resting state in your ovaries. When your ovaries do not release an egg monthly, the regular monthly growth of the lining of your uterus does not occur and, therefore, the bleeding that comes with your normal menstruation does nqt take place. When you stop using DEPO-PROVERA your menstrual period will usually, in Time, return to its normal cycle.

2.

Mineral Changes Use of DEPO-PROVERA may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in your bones. This could increase your nsk of developing bone fractures. The rate of bone mineral loss is greatest in the early years of DEPO-PROVERA use. but after that, it begins to resemble the normal rate of age-related bone mineral loss.

3.

Studies of women who have used different forms of contraception found that women who used DEPO-PROVERA for contraception had no increased overall risk of developing cancer of the breast, ovary, uterus, cervix, or liver However women under 35 years of age whose first exposure to DEPO-PROVERA was within the previous 4 to 5 years may have a slightly increased risk of developing breast cancer similar to that seen with oral contraceptives. You should discuss this with your health-care provider 4.Unexpected Pregnancy Because DEPO-PROVERA is such an effective contraceptive method, the risk of accidental pregnancy for women who get their shots regularly (every 3 months [l3 weeks]) is very low.

While there have been reports of an increased risk of low birth weight and neonatal infant death or other health problems in infants conceived close to the time of injection, such pregnancies are uncommon. If you think you may have become pregnant while using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception, see your health-care provider as soon as possible.

SAllergic Reactions Some women using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection have reported severe and potentially hfe-threatening allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions.

Symptoms include the sudden onset of hives or swelling and itching of the skin, breathing difficulties, and a drop in blood pressure.

d.Other Risks Women who use hormone-based contraceptives may have an increased risk of blood clots or stroke. Also, if a contraceptive method fails, there is a possibility that the fertilized egg will begin to develop outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy). While these events are rare, you should tell your health-care provider if you have any of the problems listed in the next section.

What symptoms may signal problems while using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

Call your health-care provider immediately if any of these problems occur following an injection of DEPO-PROVERA: sharp chest pain, coughing'up of blood, or sudden shortness of breath (indicating a possible clot in the lung) sudden severe headache or vomiting, dizziness or fainting, problems with your eyesight or speech, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg (indicating a possible stroke) severe pain or swelling in the calf (indicating a possible clot in the leg) unusually heavy vaginal bleeding severe pain or tenderness in the lower abdominal area persistent pain, pus, or bleeding at the injection site what are the possible side effects of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

I.Weight Gain You may experience a weight gain while you are using DEPO-PROVERA. About two thirds of the women who used DEPO-PROVERA in clinical trials reported a weight gain of about 5 pounds during the first year of use. You may continue to gain weight after the first year. Women in one large study who used DEPO-PROVERA for 2 years gained an average total of 8.1 pounds over those 2 years, or approximately 4 pounds per year. Women who continued for 4 years gained an average total of 13.8 pounds over those 4 years, or approximately 3.5 pounds per yean Women who continued for 6 years gained an average total of 16.5 pounds over those "6 years, or approximately 2.75 pounds per yean •

2.other Side Effects

In a clinical study of over 3,900 women who used DEPO-PROVERA for up to 7 years, some women reported the following effects that may or may not have been related to their use of DEPO-PROVERA: Irregular menstrual bleeding, amenorrhea, headache, nervousness, abdominal cramps, dizziness, weakness or fatigue, decreased sexual desire, leg cramps, nausea, vaginal discharge or irritation, breast swelling and tenderness, bloating, swelling of the hands or feet, backache, depression, insomnia, acne, pelvic pain, no hair growth or excessive hair loss, rash, hot flashes, and joint pain. Other problems were reported by very few of the women in the clinical trials, but some of these could be serious. These include convulsions, jaundice, urinary tract infections, allergic reactions, fainting, paralysis, osteoporosis, lack of return to fertility, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, breast cancer or cervical cancer. If these or any other problems occur during your use of DEPO-PROVERA, discuss them with your health-care provider.

Should any precautions be followed during use of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

I .Missed Periods During the time you are using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception, you may skip a period, or your periods may stop completely. If you have been receiving your DEPO-PROVERA injections regularly every 3 months (13 weeks), then you are probably not pregnant. However, if you think that you may be pregnant, see your health-care provider.

21aborotory Test Interactions If you are scheduled for any. laboratory tests, tell your health-care provider that you are using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception. Certain blood tests are affected by hormones such as DEPO-PROVERA.

Interactions

4.

Mothers

Cytadren (aminoglutethimide) is an anticancer drug that may significantly decrease the effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA ifthe two drugs are given during the same time.

DEPO-PROVERA can be passed to the nursing infant in the breast milk, no harmful effects have been found in these children. DEPO-PROVERA does not prevent the breasts from producing milk, so it can be used by nursing mothers. However, to minimize the amount of DEPO-PROVERA that is passed to the infant in the first weeks after birth, you should wait until 6 weeks after childbirth before you start using-DEPO-PROVERA for contraception.

How often do I get my shot of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

The recommended dose of DEPO-PROVERA is 150 mg every 3 months (13 weeks) given in a single intramuscular injection in the buttock or upper arm. To make sure that you are not pregnant at the time of the first injection, it is essential that the injection be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period. If used following the delivery of a child, the first injection of DEPO-PROVERA MUST be given within 5 days after childbirth if you are not breast-feeding or 6 weeks after childbirth if you are exclusively breast-feeding. If you wait longer than 3 months (13 weeks) between injections, or longer than 6 weeks after delivery, your health-care provider Although

should determine that you are not pregnant before giving you your injection of DEPO-PROVERA

Moxie: The Real

Featuring

four seasoned musicians and a young, silky-voiced chanteuse, Raleigh-based Moxie McCoy has

developed a strong reputation as an energetic, must-see live act, and they continue to gain recognition around the Triangle with the recent release of their first album, Crowded Room. Music Editor David Walters caught up with drummer Adrie!

Boals, who also happens to be a research scholar in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Duke, to talk about the band and the brain.

Recess: You're a research scholar and professor here at Duke. What's more fun; drumming or teaching?

Tough question. Drumming is fun simply because you get to play your music with a lot of energy, but being a drummer you're kind of in the background, and some people don't even notice you. After the show people will ask me if I saw the band play, and I have to say, 'Dm, yes.... I was in the band.'

But when you teach, the limelight is on you, and I like being the center of attention. If I could combine the two, that'd be fun.

Describe for those who haven't had the experience of catching a show what type of music the band plays.

Well, we have a female lead singer, and we play about 75 percent covers, and they're all songs that everyone will recognize. We do everything from Jewel to AC/DC to Guns n' Roses, and we also throw in our original songs, which are now available on the new album we put out.

Sometimes people have a hard time warming up to a female lead singer in a rock band, but it's clear after hearing

Jessica Dick's voice that she's no joke.

What's her story?

Our keyboard player Matt [Kschinka] knew Jessica. When he decided he wanted to put Moxie McCoy together, his vision was to have a female lead. We actually auditioned about a dozen different girls, but Jessica really struck us as someone who could sing well and had a lot of personality, and that really comes out onstage.

Calendar

that's involved in a lot of coordinated movements.

Is it possible that, as a white guy, I was born without one, or perhaps I severely damaged mine sticking Tinker Toys up my nose as a young child?

From a psychological perspective, you might need to further develop your cerebellum.

I'll look into that. So what are you going to be for Halloween?

I haven't dressed up the past couple of years because Moxie McCoy's been playing. Maybe a rock star?

Or a big, drumming hippocampus.

What do you see in store for Moxie McCoy? I think we have potential to do really well. We're just working really hard through all of our live shows to get a following going, and everyone should check out Crowded Room because we're very proud of it.

How old is she?

Just turned 21.

Do you think she'd go out with me? [long pause] She might.

Not a chance, huh? Moving right along, what's the focus of your research?

1 do a lot of research on stress and memory. If you have a lot of stressful events in your life, that can have negative consequences.... We're working on ways to reduce the negative impact of stressful events. We find that people who write about stressful events have fewer intrusive thoughts and better overall health later on Serious question time.Who rocks Check out Moxie McCoy at Fat Daddy's harder: B.F Skinner or Carl Jung? in Raleigh October 26 and at www.mox[laughs] I would think it would be iemccoy.com.

Adding to the diversity of the album are the punk rock, toe-tapping "Rock 'n' Roll and the Teenage Desperation" and"Elekt," which has a"Bullet with Butterfly Wings"esque coda, echoing the Pumpkin's past and foreshadowing Loudermilk's future.

Keeping Them Entertained: A Guide to Parents' Weekend Pinsky Pontificates The former poet laureate discusses America and his writing In Page Auditorium

Robert Pinsky is a cool dude. The U.S. poet laureate from 1997-2000, he's known for his efforts to make poetry accessible to the public —he started the "Favorite Poem Project," which added a recorded collection of ordinary Americans reading their favorite poems aloud to the Library of Congress. He has also authored several volumes of poetry and criticism, as well as a translation of Dante's Inferno. Saturday, you and the 'rents will have the opportunity to hear Pinsky speak about poetry and modern America at 3:30 p.m. in Page Auditorium—an event sponsored by the Union's Major Speaker's Committee and the late ions Board,

taring his visit, Jitor Meghan engaged

via e-mail on ics of writing, hip and making accessible. ess: In lish classes Duke, we ften use Norton Anthologies—ioetryf modrn poetry, short stories, a reader, you name it. I've always thought publication in one of those would be an indication that the writer had "made it" —kind of like a rock musician hearing themselves on the radio, or an actor being asked for an autograph. When did you know that you had "made it" as a poet? A point when you knew that the world, and not just you, considered yourself a poet?

Robert Pinsky; Anthologies, prizes, titles, critics—all these offer only unreliable measures of one's work. Once, visiting a poetry class at a prison, I heard one of the inmates recite from memory a poem I had written, "Exile." I once met a 14-year-old boy who for a school assignment had to memorize a text related to the word "compassion," and he chose my poem "From the Childhood of Jesus." Those are examples of real laurel.

You will see what I mean if you go to www.favoritepoem.org and look at the videos of a construction worker reading Whitman, of a Jamaican immigrant reading Plath, of a young Cambodian-American woman reading Langston Hughes, of a nine-year-old reading Theodore Roethke's "The Sloth."

Notice the way these readers say the poems aloud, and what they say about them. Imagine yourself being the poet: that, for me, is far more glorious than inclusion in any anthology.

(On the other hand, POEMS TO READ, the Favorite Poem Project anthology, is indeed published by Norton!)

You've commented that poetry is doing well in this era, but that criticism is not. How can the U.S. train new, intelligent critics?

Literary criticism is in a somewhat dark age

at the moment, and reviewing suffers as a result. Newspapers do as good a job as ever, though the literary newspaper reviewer must

fight for space. It's in the highbrow quarterlies that the decline seems so drastic. The academic critics who used to write for them have lost confidence and morale. They seem terrified by new work, depressed about the challenge of making judgments.

But this weakness in criticism may be a general, culture-wide matter: the scandals about film criticism for example, with critics being manipulated by publicity agents.

I don't know how this situation might improve. Maybe it is cyclical. Or maybe a new wave of clever young people are ready to take over reviewing?

The chair of Duke's English Department, Maureen Quilligan, recommended Robert Fitzgerald's translation of The Odyssey as summer reading, especially because the new translation has turned it into "true beach reading." Did you have such accessibility in mind when you began your Inferno?

I tried to make a translation that would be a poem in English, that would be exciting to read. I didn't know of such a translation of Dante—in other words, I tried to make something that I would like to read. The poem in Italian has given great pleasure to readers for hundreds of years. It has speed and quickness, as they say in basketball, and tremendous variety. I strove to give it something with that grace and attraction in English.

As poet laureate, you began the Favorite Poem Project. Were you surprised by its eager reception or by the poems and recordings that came of it?

—

Yes and no—I knew that the American audience for great poems was far greater and more vital than the stereotype of us might indicate. But yes, I am surprised that the first anthology, Americans' Favorite Poems, has gone through 15 printings. And yes 4 1 have been surprised by the quality and intensity of the letters quoted in the two anthologies and at www.favoritepoem.org.

Memos, Coffee, Spankings Two disillusioned souls escape society’s boundaries and find love

Well,

spank me with a stiletto! Secretary, winner of a Special Jury Prize for originality at the 2002 Sundance Festival, features a screenplay written by one of our own: Duke associate theater professor, Erin Cressida Wilson.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is Lee Holloway, a directionless 20-something endowed with a compulsive conscience and the most enviable collection of 'Bos-style office apparel this side of Murphy Brown's closet, mutilation, Lee returns home to your run-oflands her first job as a secretary in the offio Spader), a local lawyer who administers mi, Grey just needs a helping hand. Lee just starts as a kinky little bit o' somethin'-som, ous tug-of-war between lonely hearts, trou we say it) aching loins. Lee and Grey pay hi chology feeding frenzy of inhibitions, comp sions and sexual fantasies. Neither can qu ; conviction of chronic abnormality, and of b siders in a world that plays by the rules.

Time out. Secretary is not some asinine tic comedy about oddballs and unlikely love I think the more overt symbolism and the easy melodrama of the story are a ruse intended to hide a more intense agenda

Secretary likes to outsmart its audience, and it panders briefly to a contingent of pseudo-intellectuals who'll pat themselves on the back for seeing an "Art Film" and reaffirm their suspicions that Everything is Society's Fault.

But beneath the slick veneer, there's something a little deeper and far more sinister at work. Secretary thrusts its audience outside a self-imposed comfort zone which has nothing to do with diversity objectives, dialogue and other PC superficiality. Secretary is strong, sexual and graphic; and the very fact that it can be so GRADE: disturbing is testimony to the depth of its conflict. The discomfort of the audience mirrors, on a smaller scale, the same self-imposed division of right, wrong, normal and abnormal which spawn the tuple's magnificent capacity for self-hatred.

Secretary is a jarring example of alienation between mind nd body, and I'm going to wrap up this review right now, 'efore I'm tempted to toss in a half-assed thesis and hand it in for ninth-grade Flonors English credit. Apologies.

On a more serious note, give Secretary a took; films with this level of depth and creativity are few and far between. But be warned: What you get out of the movie is up to you. If it's mindless entertainment you're after, 1 recommend The Transporter. I hear it's pretty good.

Abandon stereotypes

I'm not afraid to die. I've seen The Ring.

I've encountered Freddie, I've stood toe to toe with Jason (all 10 times), but The Ring scared me to levels previously unimagined.

From the opening sequence, the film is tinged with an unnameable, unexplainable terGRADE: ror. A story fraught with child abuse, murder and revenge from beyond the grave, The Ring speaks to the darkest parts of your soul. The premise is simple: You watch "the" tape. You die. And right before you take your short trip into the long sleep, you see... the ring.

About as tight as a horror film gets, The Ring smoothes over any plot holes by sinking its claws of existential fear into your unsuspecting flesh.

Personally, I spent most of the movie just trying not to wet my pants.

There is probably a whole truckload of symbolic and ideological questions that you could analyze about The Ring, all of which are rendered inconsequential by the sheer dread of the experience.

Should you see The Ring? I don't know. But be sure to think long and hard about what you want your next week to be like.

Beginning in January 2004, average Americans will have the opportunity to find their own out-of-thebox presidential candidate or to choose another centrist—with a little help from the FX Network.

The new show American Candidate, based upon summer's break-out hit American Idol, will allow viewers to call in and choose which candidates—currently being selected from a pool of applicants—move on and which are handed their hats. The show's episodes will be filmed across the U.S. at quintesAmerican locales such as Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty.

1 asked two public policy professors—Susan Tifft and Jay Hamilton—to weigh in on the implications of Candidate for politics and the U.S. Tifft said she is worried about the line between politics and entertainment becoming too blurred.

"The thing that concerns me is it is based on these reality shows like Survivor... and Big Brother, and what it’s purporting to do is turn politics into entertainment," Tifft noted. "We live in such a media-saturated culture as it is, I'm not sure this is going to encourage people to think of politics as anything other than entertainment."

Hamilton, instead, touted the benefits of more young adults being exposed to politics. "[Many people] feel that since their votes have such a tiny chance of being influential that they will not take the time to invest in learning about the process," Hamilton wrote in an e-mail. "If this show can spark an interest in politics among 18-34 year-olds, the prime demographic for FX, then that might be a positive influence."

Tifft noted that many of her students have made similar arguments, but she remains doubtful.

"1 would be ecstatic if that were true, and I wait for enlightenment," she said.

Dreams OD's on Saccharine The new drama American Dreams is a classic example of the overachieving freshman TV show.

Each week, the creators behind Dreams present the audience with an hour's worth of conflict focused on the conservative Pryor family in 1963 Philadelphia. In each episode, all six Pryor family members are awarded a storyline of their own, and as each arc progresses through the hour, all six of the stories remain connected by a succession of golden oldies that underscore the scenes.

Thankfully, the mish-mash of melodrama and music is centered around one particular family member: the starry-eyed 15-year-old daughter Meg. She is the eye of the hurricane that is American Dreams, but like the real thing, the show can't help but be strong on action and seriously lacking in subtlety.

The obviousness is truly unfortunate because,

as cheesy as a show about a girl whose life's dream is to get on American Bandstand is, the actors and performances that comprise the Pryor family are surprisingly excellent. Several critics have already pointed out that American Dreams strives way too hard for historical significance, particularly in its desire for post-Sept. 11 relevance, causing it to come off as sentimental and saccharine.

However, it is an even greater disappointment to know that if the creators of American Dreams tightened their storylines, while also allowing their talented actors to suggest the social significance of the times to the audience instead of force feeding it to them, NBC would have a worthy successor to The Wonder Years on its hands and not an overlyr

stylized nostalgia trip.

Virginia crushes women’s soccer in Charlottesville

Loss drops Blue Devils 2 games below .500 as Cavaliers notch Ist ACC victory of season

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

2 The women’s soccer team continued havPuke 0 ing problems scoring as it fell to the Virginia Cavaliers 2-0 Wednesday night at Kldckner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. The win, which was the first in the ACC for the Cavs, improved Virginia to 8-5-2 overall and 1-3-1 in the ACC. With the loss Duke fell two games below .500, to 6-8-1 and 1-3-1 in conference.

“I think tonight was a huge win for us,” Virginia head coach Steve Swanson said. “We played a tough game and we played well defensively and converted some chance to win. We are improving and we now have some momentum that we hopefully can build on.”

Both defenses held tight early on, but the Wahoos found a crack in Duke’s backfield when Alyssa Benitez netted a Noell Keselica throw-in in the 32rd minute to take a 1-0 Virginia lead. The Cavs then held tight and went into the final 45 with the lead.

Both teams played stellar defense tight in the second half, as the Blue Devils tried to break through Virginia’s ironclad defense and pounded home the equalizer.

However, fortune turned to the other

Mathews moving Washington Redskins quar-

terback Shane Mathews said he is moving his family from the Washington, D.C. area to Florida in an effort to get out of range of the area’s sniper.

Borski, who moved into Virginia’s all-time top 10 in points and goals, was set-up by freshman Julie Napolitano for the score.

-Overall, the Cavaliers, outshot Duke

13-6—a season low in shots for the Blue Devils.

It was the third time in 15 tries this season that Duke has been outshot. So far this season, the Blue Devils have been able to produce chances, but unable to finish.

In the net, Helgadottir was able to make four stops, meanwhile her UVa counterpart Anne Abernethy tallied only two.

And while the Blue Devils and Cavs both took a pair of corners, Duke outfouled the Wahoos six to two.

The Blue Devils now have three regular season matches left before the

Giants edge Angels 4-3, even Series at 2 each

David Bell’s single in Bth lifts San Francisco to first home World Series win since 1962

By BEN WALKER

Tim Worrell got the win and Robb Nen closed for a save in a game the Giants trailed 3-0.

It was an October classic, and came on a fitting night. Pete Rose drew the biggest ovation during a pregame celebration marking baseball’s most memorable moments.

Jason Schmidt will start for the Giants in Game 5 Thursday night against Jarrod Washburn. It will be a rematch ofthe opener in which Schmidt outpitched the Anaheim ace.

Bell’s father, Buddy, and grandfather Gus, both played in the majors. Spiezio and Barry Bonds, of course, also had dads in the big leagues, while Snow’s father played in the NFL.

Somehow, the Giants slowed down Anaheim’s persistent hitters. And then, the biggest surprise of all; They broke through against Mr. Unhittable and posted San Francisco’s first Series win at home since 1962.

“I was just trying to get a pitch over the plate I could hit hard,” Bell said. “He has great stuff and he’s been doing a good job.”

Rodriguez had blown away all 12 San Francisco hitters he faced in the Series until J.T. Snow singled to start the eighth. Snow moved up on Bengie Benito Santiago.

Razorback tackle caught with over 10pounds of pot

By JENNY MARBERRY The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Arkansas coach Houston Nutt kicked defensive tackle Jermaine Brooks off the team Wednesday after city police arrested Brooks on charges he sold and possessed 10 1/2 pounds of marijuana in his off-campus apartment.

Brooks was charged late Tuesday with felonies alleging drug possession, drug distribution and simultaneous possession of several rifles and handguns.

Officers found $16,841 in Brooks’ apartment and also arrested a woman who was there with him.

Police laid out cash, marijuana and a cache of weapons on a display table for reporters to view. Deputy prosecutor John Threet said that if convicted of simultaneous possession of drugs and a gun, Brooks could be punished by life in prison, though that would be rare in a marijuana case.

“He’ll do a fraction of whatever he’s given,” Threet said. “It would not be a complete shock if he got 10 years out of the whole thing,” and be eligible for parole in two years.

Brooks apologized to Arkansas fans

WORLD SERIES from page 12 chopper that he beat out for an infield single. Kenny Lofton followed with a bunt that slowly danced down the chalk fine until third baseman Troy Glaus picked it up for another single.

Rich Aurilia singled home the Giants’ first run, Jeff Kent hit a sacrifice fly and, after another intentional walk to Bonds, Santiago singled up the middle.

The MVP of the NL championship series clapped his hands and pointed toward the San Francisco dugout after

rounding first base.

Glaus hit a two-run shot, tying Bonds’ record of seven home runs in a postseason, to give the Angels a 3-0 lead in the third.

A day earlier, fans taunted Glaus with shouts of “Welcome to Pac Bell!” after he flied out to the warning track, reminding him it gave up fewer homers

EARLE from page 12 went down in his life and knows what it takes to rise above it. He understands that, so he’s not mad at anybody, and he’s not an angry kid,” Still, Earle’s life certainly not lacking for bumps in the road, has hit a frustrating snag since getting to Maryland. Intense media coverage of his life’s journey by the likes of ESPN and HBO forced Friedgen to ban him from speaking to the press in order to concentrate on his play.

However, Earle continues to struggle in his shift to the college game.

Even with the Terrapins thin in linebacker depth, especially with the current injury to starter Jamahl Cochran, Earle has yet to see any action, even if it might be better for his

than any other ballpark in the majors this season.

Both teams looked for every edge they could find.

Wanting an extra right-handed bat in the lineup, Angels manager Mike Scioscia pulled ALCS MVP Adam Kennedy—hitting .371 in the postseason—and instead started Benji Gil at second base. The hunch paid off as Gil singled his first two times up.

The Giants brought out their own good-luck charm in 3 1/2-year-old Darren

Baker. After missing Game 3 because of a sinus infection, the son of manager Dusty Baker was back as a bat boy. Not even as tall as some of the Louisville Sluggers he toted, the little boy wobbled out toward the plate during the Giants’ rally in the fifth, and Kent had to corral him when a throw went wild.

A leadoff single by Tim Salmon set up Glaus’ third homer of the Series, a shot to center over the leaping Lofton. psyche at Wallace Wade this weekend “I think he’s handled the academic and cultural transition, but the transition to college football has not been as easy for him, so he’s red-shirting,” Seamonson said. “Even though physically

he’s a good talent, he hasn’t been able to make that transition yet. Obviously we have high hopes for his future ability, but I really think he’ll learn from not playing this year and mature as a football player.”

Mature as a man, Earle is starting to put the pieces together, finding his new home and looking into a psychology major—maybe the most fitting transition of all. The Terps may have another Juan Dixon on their hands—someone with both ability and perseverance—whom they are welcoming with open arms as the newest member

of the family.

opposing defenses were doing, nor the habits of his receivers—something that caused his delivery to be timid and awkward. After figuring out his problem, and gaining 35 pounds, Smith has a more-than-adequate throwing arm, passing for TD strikes of 40 and 45 yards against Navy and N.C. State, respectively, this season.

“This guy has devoted himself to being a good quarterback,” Franks said.

“Adam couldn’t get anything on the ball because ofhis delivery when he first got here. It took more time than what coaches are allowed to work with. He had to work on that on his own. He really dedicated himself to get his arm stronger by getting the ball in the right decision to get something on it.”

Smith’s development led him from a redshirt season his freshman year to being second-string quarterback to D. Bryant last season. He appeared in five games, connecting on 5-for-13 passes for 30 yards with one interception.

Smith was expected to be the back-up again this season, with D. Bryant returning for his senior season, and Smith said that when learned that Bryant was suspended by the University, he had mixed emotions.

“I was excited, but I felt bad for him,” Smith said.

Smith had no problems adjusting his summer schedule to compete for the starting position because he says he approaches every summer with the intent of starting the next year.

“It was known that D. was going to be the starter, but at the same time I was always preparing myself for that opportunity,” Smith said. “I had gone home that summer with the intention to be the starter because you never know what’s going to happen in football. It’s just one of those games. I wanted to be prepared as much as possible.”

The starting position was by no means handed to Smith, as he and Chris Dapolito competed everyday of pre-season for the starting position. Franks did not announce Smith as the starter until game time against East Carolina.

“There’s a certain honor in starting,”

Smith said.

Smith and Dapolito continued to split time at the quarterback position until Smith began to separate himself against Northwestern on Sept. 14th.

The Chronicle Smith threw for 188 yards that game, while Dapolito had zero. From that point on, the Blue Devils became more and more “Smith’s team.”

Smith led Duke to its second victory ofthe season against Navy throwing 11for-17 with 144 yards with no interceptions. Smith had his first 200 yard plus game in a near loss to Virginia, throwing 26-42 for 256 yards.

“I thought the key to the team was the quarterback,” said UVa head coach A1 Groh. “The throws he made were really excellent.”

Smith struggled against Wake Forest this season, and did not manage to pass the century mark in passing yards. Always willing to learn from his mistakes, Smith had his best game of the season last week in a 24-22 loss against then No. 10 N.C. State. With 353 yards on 28-41 passing in Duke’s near upset, one couldn’t help but be

impressed.

“I’m very, very impressed with Duke’s quarterback,” Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen said. “I think the quarterback play has been outstanding.”

Smith feels that he still has a lot of room to improve, and is working hard to do so.

“I don’t feel so much that I’m better, it’s just that I’m more confident and more relaxed,” Smith said. “I’ve definitely learned a lot.”

Smith also looks to improve by continually thinking about the game.

“For me, its mental,” he said “All week long, I am almost always thinking about the game. Sometimes I’ll be in class and I’ll just be thinking what if they threw this cover or pulled this check and it will be the middle of class.

Sometimes I’ll sit and laugh at myself and ask ‘why I’m doing his.’”

Smith is continually adjusting to North Carolina, a place much different than his hometown, Orinda, California.

“It was very different at first,” Smith said. “People are nicer around here, and a lot more friendly.”

He even had to adjust to the food.

“BBQ is different in California,” Smith said.

As he has with every role he’s had in his football career, he has adjusted well, emerging into one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC. “He seems to be developing a very good command on what is happening in the game,” Franks said. “He sees what other teams are doing.”

HEART from page 5 bilitative and correctional facilities.

Judy Julian, a Youth Development Division Special Projects planner, has high hopes for the program’s success.

“One of the most important things about this program is that this is a life plan program,” she said. “Mental health, education, vocational and spiritual aspects of treating are all priorities.”

Julian added that a typical day for a girl in the HEART program might include classes in women’s studies, personalized treatment from a psychologist or rehabilitative counselor and other activities aimed at developing self-knowledge and spirituality, including yoga.

HEART facilitators have been training in preparation for the girls’ arrival.

Martin Pharr, clinical director of the state’s youth centers, said the staff—-

which includes 12 substance abuse counselors, a rehabilitative therapist, a education

special

teacher

and

a

teacher’s aid—is crucial to realizing the aims of the program. “Relationships [between the staff and the girls] allow learning and growth and behavior change to happen,” he said.

Leigh Hines, Samarkand communications director, said she envisions the HEART program as a new and necessary approach to treating troubled youth. “This is cutting edge for the state of North Carolina,” Hines said. “This is a system we are moving into because we know that the therapeutic model is the way to deal with our youths.”

Because the program is in its trial phase, girls will have to apply for a limited number of spaces in the program.

Julian said renovated facilities, which

include new computers and classrooms, will greet the girls when they arrive.

She added that girls already at Samarkand have painted “healing affirmations” on the walls that aim to provide a positive girl-power message.

“Girls need role models,” she said, contesting that the program’s perspective may proliferate idealized gender roles. “Studies have shown that genderspecific works.”

Pharr added that the juvenile justice

system has not kept pace with the needs of females and contemporary societal roles. “The juvenile justice system has been very male-oriented, and research has revealed that girls face different approaches and require different approaches, particularly girls who have penetrated the juvenile justice pro-

gram,” he said.

Specifically, Julian cited the results of a 1998 U.S. Department of Justice report on women in the criminal justice system that showed a lack of concern for the needs of girls in juvenile justice programs. The study also found that many female juvenile offenders have self-esteem problems either contributing to or resulting from their delinquency problems. It said that current programs, geared more toward the treatment of boys, do not properly address the gender-specific problems that girls face—a vacuum the HEART program hopes to fill.

Pharr and Hines hoped that a successful trial-run for HEART could bode well for the future of therapeutic approaches to juvenile institutionalization.

“This is a new way of doing things, and each day we are moving forward,” Hines said. “We think this is going to bring a lot of attention to the state of North Carolina.”

Kennedy said that to reach the goal of proportionate representation, the department developed a plan in 1998 to add 34 new women’s scholarships, with the ultimate goal of adding 106.

Kennedy said those additional scholarships needed to be strategically distributed and the total number can fluctuate

and athlete transfers to other schools.

“There are all sorts of variables,” Kennedy said. “You can have your nice little tidy numbers, but you are always going to be off.”

At an average of $36,218 per scholarship, the University allots the greatest total scholarship ftmds to students in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Kennedy said it is difficult to compare Title IX compliance success with other ACC schools because ofthe wide range of undergraduate enrollment breakdowns.

‘You need to measure compliance with what the female athletes think,” Kennedy said. “Do they feel like they are being equitably treated? I think we’re doing pretty well compared to other places.”

depending upon recruitment success

CORPORATE EXECUTIVE

THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

Both candidates have called for statewide infrastructure investment.

Bowles’ plan calls for building new roads throughout eastern North Carolina that will facilitate travel and attract more business.

Dole has highlighted support for small businesses as well and has pledged to help displaced workers find jobs in the high-tech sector through community college tuition grants.

But statewide, the candidates are most aggressively posturing to claim the mantle of protecting the state’s top industry—agriculture, which has taken a hit from this year’s drought.

Both Bowles and Dole promise they can negotiate a tobacco buyout in Congress, which could generate between $5 and $6 billion for farmers.

Expenses and revenues of the University’s 24 teams were also included in the report. Men’s teams accounted for 98 percent ofthe total revenue and 43.9 percent of total expenses.

The men’s basketball team took in

the most revenues at $9.3 million, which is 29.2 percent of total revenue, and incurred expenses of $4.8 million. The football team had $6.4 million in revenues and $6.3 million in expenses.

Other men’s teams garnered $65,087 in revenues and $3.1 million in expenses.

Women’s basketball, which made it to the Women’s Final Four of the NCAA Tournament last year, more than doubled its revenue from 2000-2001 to $321,905, with expenses of $1.7 million.

“The revenues for women’s basketball are going up and the interest is going up,” Kennedy said. “There is a lot of potential there, and we are going to be very good this year, so it should continue.”

The numbers also documented the breakdown in gender ofhead coaches of women’s and men’s teams. All 12 men’s teams had male head coaches, but the 12 women’s teams were split evenly between male and female head coaches.

The candidates’ plans would end the tobacco quota program that has existed for over 70 years—farmers must buy or rent quotas to grow tobacco. The buyout would provide $8 per pound to quota owners and $4 per pound to growers, allowing farmers the capital to invest in other crops.

“The rural communities of North Carolina desperately need the infusion of money that the [tobacco buyout] would bring,” Dole said.

“Our farmers have been crying out for help for a long time, and it’s high time that Congress responded by passing my plan now.”

Although Dole’s plan has been endorsed by many farm groups, including the North Carolina Farm Bureau and the North Carolina Tobacco Growers Association, Bowles has made the issue one of his top goals.

“I don’t think [passing a buyout] will take long,” Bowles said. “It is my number one priority.”

Opt-in or opt-out

In

December, the Arts and Science Council will vote on a proposal to permanently approve an opt-in system for the Student Accessible Course Evaluation System, which provides quantitative data on courses through ACES web. The Council should approve this plan, but should not stop thinking about the issue and refining the system to better serve student needs.

What is most unfortunate is that the council will vote on the opt-in system, in which professors must choose to be included in the system rather than the opt-out system currently in use, in which professors are included in the system unless they specifically ask to be left out. The danger is that professors will be less likely to put their evaluations online if they have to make an effort to do so, whereas they will be less likely to opt out if their information is automatically posted.

However, council chair Ron Witt believes the council would unequivocally deny any proposal to make a permanent opt-out system, so it seems the opt-in system is the only possible option; in any case, any type of online data is preferable to nothing.

With an opt-in system, the most important aspect for students is that a large number of professors provide their data. Professors need to recognize that students are both smart and responsible and will use data in a similar manner, and so should continue to provide it.

Professors who oppose SAGES generally base their argument either on the premise that students should not be evaluating professors in the first place, so placing data online only codifies an already invalid metric, or that students will abuse the course evaluation data to find the easiest classes or ones with the least amount of work. Neither of these arguments reflects the reality at the University.

While undergraduates may not always accurately evaluate the impact of a course or how well the material was covered, they are able to provide general impressions, such as whether the course was intellectually stimulating or if it was a waste of time.

Undergraduates may not make perfect judgments about the quality of a course or professor, but they certainly can make such judgments in a general sense.

Undergraduates generally do not decide on courses based on difficulty; rather, students choose courses based on the content of the course, the professor and most of all how interesting and stimulating the course will be.

Moreover, SAGES is not the only or primary tool used by students to judge classes. Students talk with their peers who have had courses, consult with their adviser or make decisions based on hearsay. Many campus organizations compile their own listing and evaluations of courses. SAGES just adds another piece of information to the large body of resources already available to students.

SAGES can only increase the course information, improving students’ decisions about what courses to take. After all, vital to a liberal education is the free flow of information and instruction on how to make good judgments. .

Letters to

the editor

Swiping cards for bathrooms is safer than keys The plan to secure bathrooms by gender-coding the

bathroom keys for

each

house is a dangerous mistake and will ultimately place an enormous burden on the housing offices, while not providing the safety students need. Issuing new sets of keys to men and women of every house on campus is not a viable solution.

Changing the keys to bathroom doors doesn’t resolve the issue that students are still abusing the basic security of a closed, locked door. Students are at risk by propping doors and letting unidentified persons tailgate into our dorms and bathrooms. Keys can only secure doors if they are used and possessed by their legal owners. Also, the University’s plan requires that when one student loses his or her key,

Selective groups In response to Monday’s article regarding locks for coed bathrooms, we cannot help but be disappointed at the lack of dialogue between

the

administration

and

selective living groups on this issue. Being part of a selective living group such as Round Table, we were given the freedom to make in-house decisions on a number of significant issues, one of them being the gender specification of the bathrooms due to our coed halls.

every person in the house receive a new one. This is preposterous. There can be no safety while students wait for a lock-change and no bathroom-use without a new key.

Safety isn’t prompt or timely under this system.

A simpler solution is found not by the quick, temporary fix the Duke administration provides, but rather by a more extensive and expensive option: DukeCard readers.

While initially costly and on taxing physically University resources and facilities, only a cardswipe can really provide comfort, simplicity and ultimately security.

Monitoring doors would provide hard evidence of entrance and exit to a secure location.

Conscientious students and additional security precautions, such as telephones and panic buttons must supple-

The difficulty of enacting

this plan is daunting, but we issue a challenge to the University Explain what possible advantages a key has over a card. There are none

beyond cost. Why do we have DukeCard readers at our residence hall’s entrances but not at our bathrooms, even in

brand-new housing facilities?

As students concerned about safety and security on campus, we say we are willing to accept its costs. The question is, why isn’t Duke?

keep co-ed bathrooms

Whether or not a bathroom is to be coed was decided upon at the beginning of the semester by members of the same hall. Consequently, to use gender-specific locks would be extremely inconvenient and impractical given the setup of our dorm.

most Furthermore, Round Table members feel more secure that our male members can get into the restrooms. Perhaps a reasonable compromise might involve hall-specific locks,

to narrow down those who have access to certain bathrooms. Either way, as a co-ed selective living group, we strongly feel that we should be involved in the decisionmaking process regarding gender specific locks on our

bathroom doors.

The more sprawl you have, the more paved areas there are and there will he a lot of runoff when it rains. This carries pollution into streams. The farther people live outside the city where most of theirjobs are, the farther they have to drive into the city and the more cars that will be on the roads, releasing a lot of toxic emissions into the air.

Commentary

The Chronicle

Few and far between If you want to put me in a total state of confusion, force me to watch a football game. Unfortunately, I must admit to all you football fanatics that my knowledge is limited to “the guy who catches and runs as far as he can before getting tackled” (I believe this is the quarterback), “the guy who throws the ball,” and last but definitely not least “the big guys in the middle who tackle.” I must apologize to all of you for my ignorance, as I am sure the sport of football consists of much more than my overly simplistic breakdown. Despite my selfproclaimed ignorance, I’m confident in the following: Every football team plays with one goal in mind—to win.

I have already confessed that lam a Hh|

bona fide football moron; therefore, the dynamics of why Duke’s football team vj.i 1 IKY a,:u has the stigma of such a disappointing record must be broken down into basic Jusu terms. Yet, a nagging feeling I call com- Hot and Bothered mon sense draws me to the conclusion that this dreary record is a consequence ofbad coaching.

Carl Franks is in his fourth year of a five-year contract.

Duke would have a hard time justifying retaining him after another fruitless season. In fight of a USA Today article I happened to peruse, I was forced to battle with the obvious dearth of black college coaches. Had a black coach been responsible for such a poor record, would he finger as long as Franks has?

There is a scarcity of black football coaches, with only five African-American head coaches among 117 head coaches in Division I-A. In a recent move to action, the Black Coaches Association is warning colleges it will steer prospects away from institutions that do not improve minority-hiring practices. In an era when “affirmative action” has become a divisive buzzword at colleges and universities across the country, college athletics in the United States, according to the Northeastern University’s Center for Sport in Society racial report card, provide the fewest opportunities for blacks in coaching and management-level positions. In an attempt to clearly illustrate this problem, I must supply oft-overlooked statistics. The Center for Sport in Society reports that blacks make up 46.4 percent of the players in college football, yet they constitute a paltry 4.7 percent ofthe head football coaches. Do these numbers make sense?

There are multiple factors involved in the lack of black coaches at the college and university level.

Oftentimes the hiring criteria are expressed in a fashion that unfairly eliminates blacks from the beginning with job announcements indicating that applicants should have Division I head coaching experience. If the job is looking for previous experience head coaching at a Division I level, then you are currently only referring to the five existing black coaches. What’s more, the decision to hire particular coaches is often a decision that is not reserved for athletic departments to make on their own.

At many colleges, such as Duke University, the alumni and boosters are controlling the funds for these programs. If you control the money you have major influence on those decisions. Division I football is surprisingly a big money business. Too many black coaches running around would probably disrupt people’s comfort zones, and consequently, their money flows. Realistically, this situation will not change drastically until blacks begin to gain positions as athletic directors, where they can have more say in whom to recruit and hire.

It would be a great disservice for me to ignore the fact that steps, although small, are currently being taken to

Capitalism is not democracy

19

Democracy is a funny word. It doesn’t have a universal definition; rather it is defined by different groups of people for different interests. The U.S. government, for example, uses the word democracy to mean neoliberal economics. I would like to try to imagine a different definition toward a dif% ferent end.

the classroom. Children are socialized into the world through many ideological outlets, including media, religion and family. However, many times school is the first opportunity for children to interact with their peers and to face an authority figure in a “professional setting.” Children are taught from their first day in kindergarten to listen when the teacher speaks, to raise their hands, to be deferential and to allow authority to define their learning process. If we could begin to change this process, perhaps we could change the way we participate in our society.

We should pay attention to power and try to use it while at the same time obeying others. Leadership is being engaged in a democratic process. It is being critical and productive at the same time. It is experimenting and opening to change. We should never trust cy, there would be formal and informal authority in authority without a reason to do so. Just because all people.

Yet, the glaring fact that give what I believe to be more comFranks has had a dismal record over such a long period plete answers.

Looking back at my p-frosh visit oftime makes me wonder if this institution would be just as merciful had Franks been one of the few existing to Duke, I remember hearing about black football coaches. only one substantial campus issue.

As an officer in the Black Student Nikyatu Jusu is a Trinity sophomore.

Alliance, my friend/host had a vest-

Ed interest in the Horowitz ad that had just run in March 2001. He gave me the inside scoop on various responses the ad elicited. Besides that, everything was just rosy. Duke was a great big family community.

The administration always made sensible policies. There was no conflict between selectives and independents. Everyone felt safe and secure anywhere on campus. Trent Drive Hall was a great place to live!

We all know this school has its problems. But it’s too easy to say “Oh well. Every university goes through the same crap. Duke’s no different.” In reality, how true is that notion? Granted, there are some issues here non-unique to Duke. And then there are the others. Practically everyone has his or her laundry list of concerns and complaints that could be strung up on the quad for prospective firstyears to read. Enough of just perusing the dazzling viewbook.

How exactly do we present an honest and complete picture of this school to prospective students?

What do we say to p-ffosh staying in our hall or to the ones running around the quad during Blue Devil Days? Should we reveal different information in official and unofficial capacities? Do we mention the spate of violence and security breaches?

What about the inane and ill-conceived alcohol policy? Or the crime against humanity that is the bus system? Or the ruinous social engineering project on West Campus?

To the administrators enjoying

“an exciting new culinary experience” in The Oak Room Grille; Don’t worry. There is a flip side. Students do have great things to say about Duke. Otherwise, we would have nothing to tell p-frosh, and we

would all transfer while “genderspecific locks” are being installed in bathrooms to deter potential assailants.

I, myself, was once Duke’s biggest critic. I’ve come to love a lot about my Duke experience. Now I only spread good words when talking to people from my high school.

But therein lies the problem. I just don’t know how to balance the good with the bad.

This fall, p-frosh again flock onto campus. Their parents lug around bags from the Duke store loaded with Duke paraphernalia. Tour guides trip over the useless little brown poles everywhere on the corners of main West. What do we say to the inquisitive high school seniors walking around in droves?

“Duke, Duke, mutha’ f—a’s” as I would intoxicatingly yell in Cameron? Or “get out while you still can?”

Unfortunately, I have no solution to this dilemma. I guess I

still have to resolve this quandary myself. I just hope there aren’t any p-frosh reading this column.

On second thought, maybe I do.

Go Duke?!
