Merkx, committee aim internationally

Experts say Republicans to gain seats Polls indicate that House majority will increase as Bush hits campaign trail

By ADAM CLYMER

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON Republicans are poised to buck history and make

slim gains in the House of Representatives Tuesday, according to analyses by campaign officials of both parties, the latest polls, and reports from political experts around the country.

Race-by-race examinations of competitive districts indicate that Republicans are more likely to increase their total of 223, in a House of 435 members, than to suffer a net loss, much less lose the majority.

Parties holding the White House almost always lose House seats in off-year elections, as weaker candidates who rode in on a president’s

coattails lose when running on their own. Democrats did gain in 1934 and 1998, but never have Republicans gained strength in the House in a midterm election while holding the

White House.

President George W. Bush, seeking to end that losing streak, has campaigned relentlessly for Republican candidates. Sunday, he was in Illinois, Minnesota and South Dakota. In Springfield, 111.—where Rep. John Shimkus, a Republican, appears ahead of another incumbent— Bush said, “For the sake of Illinois, for the sake of this congressional

district, for the sake of the country, put John Shimkus back in the United States Congress.”

With many contests very close, Democrats could still achieve a modest increase with a superior effort to get their supporters to the polls. But, with two dozen or fewer seats still in play, Democrats would have to win almost everywhere they still have a chance to make the net gains they would need to take control.

“I think we are going to make history. I think we are going to pick up seats—whether it’s one or five I don’t know. And we’ll certainly hold the House,” said Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, head of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Sharon, Netanyahu battle over elections

By GREG MYRE

The Associated Press

JERUSALEM

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon sought

to keep his imperiled government afloat Sunday by bringing former premier Benjamin Netanyahu into the Cabinet, while Netanyahu set a tough condition for joining—early elections.

Israel’s two leading right-wing politicians, Sharon and Netanyahu, are trying to work out an alliance while also battling each other to lead the Likud Party into the country’s next general election.

The ballot must be held before next November, but could be brought forward to early next year if the Sharon resigns, or if his fragile coalition collapses in the coming days or weeks.

That could plunge Israel into even greater turmoil as

the Israeli-Palestinian conflict drags on and the threat of a U.S. war with Iraq on the horizon.

In the complex rivalry between Sharon and Netanyahu, both stressed their efforts to resolve the current political crisis and played down any suggestion they were jockeying for advantage in the next election.

“I told (Sharon) that I’ll be happy to serve as foreign minister on condition that we go to early elections,” Netanyahu told Israeli television.

“The right thing is to immediately go to new elections,” he added, predicting that Likud would double its current 19 seats in the 120-member parliament.

Sharon wants Netanyahu in the government, a development that could help stabilize the coalition. In addition, See NETANYAHU on page 9

Methodism or multiculturalism?

At a retreat this summer, senior administrators discussed how the University’s Christian roots and its push toward multiculturalism may conflict with each other.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

How can a university feature as its centerpiece a magnificent chapel steeped in ties to the Methodist church, while attracting a greater diversity of students and faculty with other religious and cultural backgrounds?

That question was one senior administrators discussed at their annual retreat in August, said President Nan Keohane, adding that the group did not develop any plans for how to approach the two trends and did not even decide that the two needed to be reconciled.

“This one is ‘on the table’ for continuing discussion,” she wrote in an e-mail. “The main point at the moment is to be sensitive both to our long-standing and deeply valued affiliation with a Christian denomination and to our developing status as a major internationally recognized research university where scholars of all ages pursue truth wherever it may lead them.”

Many students, administrators and religious leaders at Duke agreed that there is currently little tension between the two issues.

Julian Sanchez, director of the Office of Intercultural Affairs, said he was surprised to even be approached about the issue. “[The school’s Christian roots are] the history of the institution, and [they are] honored,” he said. “At the same time, we’re moving forward with the campus becoming more diverse.... Traditions are respected and honored, but there’s not a conflict that I can see.”

Gregory Jones, dean of the Divinity School, said the issue was important to him as the school constantly sways between scholarship and acutely-felt ties to the United Methodist Church.

Jones said Christianity and multiculturalism are not inherently at conflict. In fact, he said Christianity is multicultural by nature and that the Divinity School’s efforts have included racial reconciliation and uniting people of Christian faith around the world, including those in

Latin America, Asia and Africa.

Historically, Methodists have been more liberal and accepting of the notion of an academically-liberated campus, said Will Willimon, dean of the Chapel. He noted See MULTICULTURALISM on page 11

DUPD defends decision to eliminate phone lines Students say emergency phones promote safety

By NATALIA ANTONOVA The Chronicle

Prompted by an abundance of prank calls, the Duke University Police Department removed many emergency call phones from dormitory entrances earlier this semester.

But in light of the most recent sexual assault on campus, many students worry the move may contribute to an unsafe atmosphere at the University.

Major Robert Dean of the DUPD said the vast majority ofthe phones were either not being used at all or used for the wrong reason, such as prank calling.

DUPD eliminated the phones to increase efficiency, he said. He could not recall one time when the phones had been used for a real emergency.

Intoxicated students contribute to the problem, said Assistant Dean ofResidence Life Deb Loßiondo. “We have found that not-intoxicated students will not usually tamper with emergency equipment,” Loßiondo said.

BETSY McDONALD/THE CHRONICLE

Crouching tiger, but no hidden Blue Devils Duke fans cheer in Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday afternoon as the Blue Devils make a fourth quarter run against the Clemson Tigers.

After a reported sexual assault in a Wannamaker Dormitory bathroom last month, Loßiondo said she hopes students will gain an increased awareness of the seriousness of misusing emergency mechanisms.

Although she understood why the University took down the phones, freshman Denise Napoli said she an-

ticipates that students will abuse emergency resources less following the

recent assault.

Freshman Joe Freimuth disagreed with the removal of the phones, but added that other security measures, such as an increased number of police officers patrolling campus, would be more efficient than phones. “I have not seen a security guard on campus since I

got here,” Freimuth said.

Chiu-Yu Chen, a senior, agreed and argued none of the phones should have been removed. ‘You can never have too much security on campus,” she said.

In the October incident, a female student reported that as she entered a bathroom in Wannamaker, a male was waiting for her, tried to rape her and used her own penknife against her, cutting her thigh and arms.

Since the incident, student affairs administrators have installed separate locks on the bathroom doors to provide more safety for female residents. In the near future, overall changes in campus

security will likely be made, including expanding the cameras at the entrances of Randolph Dormitory on East Campus—where an attack occurred in a bathroom last year—to other dorms.

Administrators may also consider other security changes like panic buttons in bathrooms.

Duke hopes to take national role in global education

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle Gilbert Merkx is out to spread the word that Duke takes international education very seriously, whether by scheduling conferences, increasing Duke’s partnerships with high-caliber universities abroad or enhancing the awareness of the University internationally.

As the vice provost for international affairs, Merkx is on a mission that he’ll have to travel far and wide to accomplish. But it’s also one that others say is desperately needed.

“I’ve been surprised at how international Duke is,” said Judith Kelley, assistant professor of public policy studies, who has worked at both Harvard University and in Denmark over the past five years. “One of Duke’s major challenges right now is communicating how international it is. I think its reputation is lagging behind it.”

Most immediately, the University will host a research conference on global challenges in US. higher education from Jan. 23 to 25. The conference comes a year before the pending reauthorization of the federal Higher Education Act in 2003-04 and will consider the current and future needs for foreign language and international areas studies. The conference specifically will focus on Title VI of the act, which concerns funding for area stud-

ies centers.

“Duke is a logical candidate to be a leader and the conference [means that] Duke is stepping up to the plate and saying, Tes, we’re major players now, even if we weren’t 10 years ago,’” said Robert Healy, a professor at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences and director of the Center for North

American Studies.

The conference, held on behalf of the Coalition for International Education, will feature speakers as diverse as U.S. Senator John Edwards, D-N.C., General Motors CEO and President Richard Wagoner and University President Nan Keohane.

Keohane especially has been an advocate for internationalizing higher education and has gone out of her way to travel to places such as Latin America, Asia and Eu-

rope during Duke’s ongoing $2 billion capital campaign.

Merkx added that Keohane is also chairing a group of university presidents this year who are looking at how American institutions can take greater advantage of in-

ternational universities.

Not everyone, however, believes that enhancing Duke’s reputation should be the focus of the University’s international strategy.

Alberto Moreiras, Bass professor of romance studies and director ofthe Center for European Studies, said the best way to increase Duke’s reputation is by concentrating on enhancing the actual scholarship.

“It seems that although fame and notoriety and publicity are very good things, they are only good things because they are helpful,” he said. “If we do the right thing,

we will become a national leader. We don’t have to focus on that for it to happen. The way for the vice provost to [enhance Duke’s reputation] is not to focus on it, but to focus on the work.”

Meanwhile, Margaret Riley, associate dean of Trinity College and director of the Office of Study Abroad, said a recent National Association for Foreign Student Affairs proposal has selected Duke as one of 16 American universities to study for a report on universities that have successfully integrated international studies and students. “What they’re looking at is Duke’s level of internationalization and then, ultimately, sharing aspects of our internationalization process that will be incorporated into the final report, so that other institutions can [learn from what Duke has done well],” Riley said.

innovation among individual departments, while having the resources to know when synergy is possible—such as through a centralized list of international partnerships across the University.

“From the law [school] perspective, I think we’ve appreciated the ability to come up with and implement our plans for internationalization, but from the law perspective, we’d like to know what’s going on in other parts of the University,” said Jennifer Maher, assistant dean for international studies at the law school.

Merkx said he hoped at the least, the strategic plan would include a more centralized method to let the University’s international players know what else is happening across all disciplines.

“Right now we don’t have a study abroad program in Brazil,” said Margaret Riley, assistant dean of Trinity College and director of the Office of Study Abroad. “Right now it makes sense for us to be in touch with Fuqua [School of Business] and the med school and the law school... to see, ‘what do you have going on in Brazil and are there ways to work within what you’re doing?”’

Provost Peter Lange, who served in the early 1990s as the University’s first vice provost for internationalaffairs, said many partnerships stem from individual relationships with visiting foreign professors, but that there might be ways to take fuller advantage of existing and future partnerships. “[When I first took over,] I said Duke was like a huge ocean liner and that it’s hard to change,” Lange said. “[President Keohane] said, ‘No, no, no. It’s like a flotilla.

You’ve got to get all the different ships to be moving toward the same direction.”’

Even as the committee progresses toward a balance on how to approach partnerships, Merkx said the University is taking a step forward in providing

Tolk With These Exhibitors:

national leadership, including a conference planned for late January on global issues in higher education.

He added that another top concern will be to improve fundraising—specifically targeting alumni living abroad, foreign students who now live and work in the United States and donors with specific interests in internationalization.

Merkx also hoped that because Duke is now offering financial aid to foreign students, the University would attract not only more students, but those who have a greater variety of backgrounds.

Carlisle Harvard, director of the International House, said her main concern over the next year would be maximizing the experience of foreign students. “They’re here to enrich themselves, but also to help us see other ways of looking at problems that we wouldn’t think of,” she said. “It doesn’t make the education for US. students international if the students from Turkey spend all their time with other students from Turkey or other international students.”

Merkx’s report primarily served to update the

Trustees on Duke’s progress in internationalization.

Ten years ago, Lange outlined a series of goals to enhance Duke’s global reach. Since then, Merkx noted that the number of federal-funded international, foreign language and area studies centers has increased from four to eight—the highest in the nation.

“Basically, area studies up to the 1990s used to be conceived by area-bound work. In the 19905, a new idea emerged, area-based,” said Alberto Moreiras, Bass professor of Romance Studies and director of the Center for European Studies. “I think Duke has been a pioneer in area-based [comparative area studies centers].”

Study abroad participation has increased from about 600 to 750 students per year, the proportion of international undergraduates has increased from 1.4 to 4.6 per-

cent and international graduate students have increased from 20 to 32 percent. Likewise, Curriculum 2000 codified a foreign language requirement and a cross-cultural requirement, which Merkx said has made the undergraduate curriculum more intemationally-aware.

AIDS from page 1 The dawning of understanding about the AIDS epidemic—in which the Medical Center played a prominentrole beginning in 1982—was a painful and emotionallycharged process, and Duke’s existing expertise in immunology forced it into the center ofAIDS research.

In 1984, current chair of medicine Dr.

Barton Haynes helped provide the clinical samples to National Cancer Institute researcher Robert Gallo that proved HIV was the root cause of AIDS. One year

later, researchers at the Medical Center

helped discover and then perform the initial clinical trials on the first major weapon against the disease; the anti-viral drug AZT. Under the leadership ofDani Bolognesi—a James B. Duke professor of experimental surgery currently on leave as head of a Triangle-area company developing a new AIDS drug—the Medical Center quickly became a national center for clinical research on the disease.

“Duke has played a prominent role in just about every aspect of AIDS research,” said Dr. John Bartlett, director of the Duke AIDS Research and Treatment Center. “One of the things that distinguishes Duke is the amount of cooperation between members of different '

disciplines.”

That connection between basic science and clinical research unique to the Medical Center was a fundamental part ofthe National Institute of Health’s 2000 decision to locate the national HIV Vaccine

Trials Network at Duke, making the University the central site for testing results from and coordinating attempts to find a

vaccine for HIV.

Duke’s greatest success story in the fight against AIDS, however, may he not in the laboratory, but in its long dedication to patient care.

Since 1985, the Medical Center’s Infectious Disease Clinic has treated more than 7,000 HIV-infected patients.

DART has, in turn, stressed the integration of these patients into clinical research and the availability of comprehensive support, including therapy, legal assistance and help in getting federal health insurance.

Many of the 1,300 patients at Duke’s clinic are unable to afford the more than $30,000 annual cost for AIDS treatment.

In fact, only 20 percent of clinic patients have their own insurance—4o percent rely on Medicare or Medicaid, and the other 40 percent have no insurance at all.

“HIV/AIDS is fundamentally a disease of poverty,” Bartlett said. “Our clinic is

motivated by a spirit of idealism, and we try to provide the best care for every patient that walks through the door, regardless of their ability to pay... We’re fortunate to be able to do that because we’ve integrated clinical care with research.”

Many Medical Center researchers are also looking towards the worsening global picture. At the end of 2001, 40 million people worldwide were infected with HIV, primarily in third-world countries, where access to expensive anti-viral drugs ranges from limited to non-existent.

“There’s no health care topic, in my

happening? Call Alex

or

mind, that’s more important than treating HIV on a global basis,” said Hicks, also associate director of DART, “You have 23 million people infected in Sub-Saharan Africa, but you don’t have the medical infrastructure to treat these people.”

To Hicks, that medical need demands attention from physicians worldwide.

“We’re beginning to say, ‘Wait a minute... the situation is that if you happen to be bom in the U.S., England, Germany, you’re going to live. If you happen to be bom in Senegal or Chile, you’re going to die?’” Hicks said. “That’s something we need to change.”

With this in mind, University physicians—including Bartlett, Hicks and

House,” she said. “I think our get-outthe-vote effort is really going to make the difference.” She said she expected “that when people in these districts go to the polls, they’re going to ask if they are better off now than they were two years ago, and vote Democratic.”

But while the competitive campaigns have emphasized domestic issues, such as the economy generally or Social Security or prescription drugs, most analysts say the Democrats have failed to grip the public

reach efforts in Tanzania, a country in which 10 percent of the adult population is infected with HIV. They have focused on providing medicine to impoverished people and understanding the social context of the disease.

“We’ve had the disease for 20 years. It is a completely preventable disease, and yet 40 million people across the world are infected and it’s spreading at an extraordinary rate,” said Haynes, who is leaving his post as chair of medicine to pursue AIDS research. “HIV is the great pandemic of the 20th and 21st centuries.”

Bartlett maintained the current path of the AIDS crisis places great responsibilities on researchers.

“Globally, the HIV epidemic is devastating humanity,” Bartlett said. “I think we have the opportunity to do something

great here.”

“Churchill talked about the pudding that had no theme. This is an election that had all kinds of possibilities—Iraq, terrorism, the economy, corporate corruption—and none of them fully developed,” said Charles Cook, publisher of the The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan journal.

Indeed, the fall campaign has changed very few House races. For every surprise, like the upset that Tim Bishop, a Democrat, may score over Rep. Felix Grucci in Long Island, N.Y., there are a half dozen more where a once plausible challenge to a favorite faded.

In lowa, for example, four incumbents, three Republicans and a Democrat faced respectable challenges, but all now seem likely to win.

However, many races that appeared deadlocked at Labor Day still do; two of those are Democratic seats, those of Reps. Karen Thurman of Florida and Bill Luther of Minnesota, and two are open seats in Indiana and Maine.

Field Hockey suffers 3-2 defeat to No. 2 Michigan

By JESSE COLVIN The Chronicle

3 With a backdrop of mascots perhaps only suitDuke 2 able for Halloween week, the Blue Devils (12-7, 1-3 in the ACC) faced 17thCentury English royalists and X-men this weekend at home.

With the ACC tournament looming, the No. 11 field hockey team gathered steam for the postseason as it finished up its regular season with games against Virginia and Michigan. The end result was a 4-2 win over the No. 20 Cavaliers (9-9, 0-4) Friday and a 3-2 loss to the No. 2 ranked Wolverines (17-2) Sunday afternoon.

Despite the loss to defending national champion Michigan, both players and coaches were pleased with the team’s performance this weekend. All in all, it was a successful three days.

The Blue Devils won their first ACC game in over three years, revived their offense, celebrated Senior Day, and took the second best team in the country right down to the wire. And even though they did win against the Wolverines, they could take solace in the fact that they stayed competitive the entire game “It was awesome [to finally win an Michigan

ACC game. But we know that we are good,” Chrissy Ashley said. “The last two games we have just come out really strong. I do not think it was because of Senior Day. We are just playing really well together right now.”

Ashley did not waste any time taking advantage of her day against the Wolverines. One of just three seniors on the team, the Plains, Pa., native got the Bide Devils on the scoreboard first 10 minutes into the game when she set up freshman Katie Grant for the first score of the game. Ashley’s pass was ridiculously accurate, as it came from approximately 40 yards out.

The low moving rocket somehow avoided the sticks of several Michigan defenders before hitting junior Kim Yam Kirk’s stick. From there, the ball deflected to Grant, who put the ball away in the upper comer of the cage to record her eighth goal ofthe year.

Not to be outdone, the Wolverines scored their first goal seven minutes later in an identical manner. Stephanie Johnson’s free hit from just outside the arc flew into the box, and teammate Adrienne

Hortillosa redirected the ball past freshman Duke goalkeeper Christy Morgan.

Coming out of the halftime huddle down 2-1, the Blue Devil players looked to swing the momentum back to their side—but the ferocious cats would not cooperate.

Just 36 seconds into the half, Michigan scored its third goal of the game when Johnson finished off a penalty stroke to beat Morgan. Just like that, Duke trailed 3-1.

“Today we put two halves together,” sophomore Johanna Bischof said.

Her penalty stroke with five minutes left brought Duke within one, but that was as close as they would get.

After the game, the players and coaches spoke fondly of the team’s three seniors: Ashley, Sarah Wright, and Erica Perrier.

“They are a huge part of our team,” Bischof said. “Sarah Wright has started practically every game since her freshman year, so we are going to miss them next year. But we are not done yet.”

In Friday’s game against the Cavaliers, it was a first-half offensive explosion for the Blue Devils. Coach Liz Tchou said it was great to be up 3-0 at halftime. Bischof paced the Blue Devils, notching two goals and one assist in her

Although Duke surrendered its goal in over 200 minutes of playing time, the Deacons could have easily tacked on more. All-ACC goaltender Thora Helgadottir made two crucial saves, once again demonstrating top form.

“The last couple of weeks she’s put it in a different gear,” Church said. “She’s taken it to a higher level, and the confidence that she has spreads to the entire team.”

Church also praised the team’s senior leadership, which has been crucial to the Blue Devils’ success in their recent time of crisis.

Defensive stalwart Rebecca Smith tried to explain the seniors’ influence on the team.

“I try to think to look at each game as an individual game and not say if we win this game than x, y or z will happen,” she said. “Really, all you can do is come out and try to lay it all down the line. I think, as a senior, you’re playing a lot more passionately every gamebecause you know that it could [end our postseason hopes]. ”

When Tigers attack: 4th q FOOTBALL

from page 1

Whitehurst threw for a Clemson-record 420 yards in the contest, including four touchdown passes. Clemson coach Tommy Bowden was ecstatic about his quarterbacks’ first start of the season.

“Charlie Whitehurst did a heck of a job his first time out,” Bowden said. “He drove the field.

He stayed in the pocket and was patient. Patience is a key.”

Duke’s impatience on a key play in the fourth quarter proved to be the turning point for the Tigers’ stunning comeback. After Clemson had moved the ball 24 yards to Duke’s 47, the Blue Devils’ secondary stoned the Tigers’ passing attack on three consecutive plays. Bowden made the decision to gamble on fourth down-and-10 with his team trailing 14 points.

Duke’s pass rush, effective for most of Saturday, made the crucial mistake of not containing the elusive Whitehurst. The true freshman rolled out ofthe pocket to his right side to escape the Blue Devil pressure and found an open man running a crossing pattern. Receiver Airese Currie caught the ball with enough yardage for a first down, before breaking a tackle and sprinting for a 47-yard touchdown that

immediately changed both teams’ demeanor.

“The defense really helped the offense in the game in the third quarter,” Franks said. “We felt like when we hit a big play to Khary that maybe the momentum had swung our way, but all of a sudden it was fourth-and-10 and they hit it and wind up scoring a touchdown.”

Just minutes before Clemson converted on fourth down the Blue Devils’ looked as though they would run away with the win. After three possessions for either team produced no points and five punts, the Blue Devils used a face mask penalty and a 12-yard completion to Alex Wade to get out of their own territory. Quarterback Adam Smith, who had three touchdown passes and 290 yards through the air, found wide receiver Khary Sharpe for 54-yard touchdown that put Duke up 24-10 with 11 minutes left. Defensive end Shawn

Johnson remembered celebrating that moment

from the sidelines.

“We were on the sidelines and we were so excited after Khary caught that post,” Johnson said. “We thought we were going to bring this one home.

There was no doubt in my mind and there was no doubt in the rest of the team’s mind. I don’t even know what happened.”

After a demoralizing five minutes of play in which the Tiger’s scored three consecutive touchdowns to take a 31-24 lead the Blue Devils could have thrown in their cards. Instead, Duke’s defensive unit made a key play when Johnson sacked Whitehurst and caused a fumble that Duke defensive tackle Matt Zielinski recovered at Clemson’s 24-yard line. On second down Smith took a shot to the end zone and hit tight end Andy Roland for a spectacular play and a 31-31 tie.

The first half was played at a fast pace, as both teams scored on their first possession of the game.

Clemson used several passing plays to move down the field on the Blue Devils while Duke pulled out a little trickery to get into the end zone.

Smith lateralled the ball to wide receiver and former high school quarterback Darryl Scott on third and goal from the 20-yard line, while tailback Chris Douglas, who had 86 yards on the ground, sprinted down the right side of the field unmarked.

He caught Scott’s perfectly thrown pass for Duke’s first touchdown of the game.

Even after nearly four quarters of solid play, the Blue Devils’ ended the game with another tough

loss. In Duke’s heartbreaking 24-22 loss to N.C. State two weeks ago Duke attempted the very same wide receiver option. Scott overthrew a wide open Douglas, and the Blue Devils came up empty.

Sharpe said, after Clemson sank Duke’s hopes at its first ACC victory in three years, one of his team’s strengths was looking toward the future.

“To see it slip away like that—three points at the end the game was what decided it—it’s tough,” Sharpe said. “It hurts but we have to bounce back and set our goals and go out and achieve them.”

rter comeback drops Duke Early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss Duke appeared destined for victory. Clinging to a 17-10 lead, the Blue Devils stuffed Clemson on a fourth-and-one deep inside Duke territory and then immediately counterattacked. Five plays later Adam Smith threw a perfect strike to Khary Sharpe. Already behind the Tiger secondary when he caught the deep ball, Sharpe sprinted into the end zone to complete the 54-yard touchdown pass.

As Sharpe turned around and celebrated, Duke looked to have taken complete control of the contest. In the first three quarters, Smith and Sharpe couldn’t find their timing, missing on several open opportunities, but now they were finally in synch. The Tigers looked demoralized. More than that, they looked bullied.

During the Blue Devil scoring drive, tight end Andy Roland had embarrassed Clemson defender Kelvin Morris. In a highlight moment replayed over the jumbotron to Duke fans’ delight, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound Morris had attempted to get a final hit in before the officials whistled an incompleted pass play dead. Morris ran up only to have Roland knock him onto the ground instead, drawing catcalls from the Duke bench.

Contrary to appearances, however, Clemson was not dead in the water. Facing fourth-and-10 on its next possession, the Tigers pulled off a stunning 47-yard touchdown pass. Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst connected on a 15-yard crossing route to Airese Currie, who eluded a would-be tackier and then raced untouched for a dramatic score.

“There’s a time in football when one big play can light up a team, and that just happened,” Smith said. “It happened incredibly quickly, but no one gave up. They had a huge swing of momentum, but we came back.”

A huge swing of momentum, indeed.

Suddenly reinvigorated, Clemson promptly exploited its newfound momentum. Although only a true freshman, Whitehurst threw two more touchdown passes in just over four minutes of play, transforming Duke’s 14-point lead into a seven-point deficit.

As the Tigers grew more confident, Duke looked flustered.

Trey McDonald shanked a punt to set up the game-tying touchdown pass, while a Smith interception led to Whitehurst’s third touchdown pass.

Try as they might, the Blue Devils couldn’t recover. A Whitehurst fumble inside the Clemson 25-yard line spurred Roland’s game tying touchdown grab with just 2:36 remaining, but Duke’s secondary couldn’t hold. Whitehurst calmly marched the Tigers to the game-winning

Momentum is a tricky thing, of course.

Whitehurst threw for 215 yards Game Commentary and three touchdowns in just one quarter, illustrating just how dominant the Clemson offense performed in the game’s closing stanza.

put the contest out of reach.

“We were off a few times,” Smith said. “Some of my throws were a little long, [but] it’s better to miss a little long than to miss short. If you miss short it’s going to be a turnover. Someone’s going to intercept it.”

Unlike the Tigers, Duke failed to capitalize during its most dominant stretch Saturday. The Blue Devils controlled the action throughout the second quarter, pushing Clemson around offensively and defensively. They got just 10 points to show for it.

“Going in to halftime I actually heard a bunch of players yell out T hate halftime,’” Sharpe said. “We don’t want to leave the field. I hate the breaks between quarters.”

Duke missed numerous opportunities. First, Brent Garber missed a 41-yard field goal. TVo possessions later, the Duke offense received a gift fumble from Clemson’s kickoff return team on the Clemson 29, only to have Smith throw an interception while getting hit the very next play.

Finally, the Blue Devils closed the first half by driving to the Tigers’ 10-yardfine. Poor clock management forced the Blue Devils to settle for Garber’s 28-yard field goal as time expired. Two timeout delays cost Duke 20 valuable seconds, as did Franks’ decision to call so many running plays.

“I wish we could have had a little more time on the clock because I think we would have scored a touchdown instead of having to settle for a field goal,” Smith said. “And, look at the score... that would have helped.”

Saturday’s contest came down to one crucial difference. When the Tigers seized momentum they capitalized fully: 24 points in 10 minutes. Duke, on the other hand, came away with just 10 points after an entire quarter of dominance.

The Blue Devils’ 23-game conference losing streak continues.

Wake Forest 2 Sometimes a play totally changes the Duke 0 complexion of a game.

Wake Forest’s Justin Moose was tearing down the right side of the field, and Duke goalie Justin Trowbridge came all the way out of the penalty area, but slipped on the cold, dewy turf. Moose knocked a long leading pass into the deserted 18. Wake Forest All-American Jeremiah White then took off for the ball, gaining a first step on Adam Guren who dragged White down from behind on the edge of the six, just before White would have knocked the ball into Duke’s open goal. Referee Ken Andres swooped down with a red card for Guren and a penalty kick for Wake Forest.

When Trowbridge dove to his right and White blasted a shot low in the other direction, 62 minutes of even, fiercely-contested soccer were erased, and the visitors held a one-goal and oneman advantage. They would add anoth-

After a strong showing at the Head of the Charles Oct. 20 against some of the toughest competition in women’s rowing, the Blue Devils anticipated several first-place finishes at the Head of the Chattahoochee competition Saturday in Gainesville, Ga. But Duke’s visions were disrupted by a surprisingly strong Tennessee team, which finished third in the championship 8+ race with a time of 18:25.0, only six tenths of a second ahead of a disappointed Blue Devil squad.

Though Duke did finish first in other events, including the club eight and mixed four, freshman Kim Bailey said the team had hoped for stronger finishes overall.

“We were pleased, but we were hoping we would do a little better,” Bailey said. “Our races [at Head of the Charles] were really strong. We were expecting them to be even stronger over

the weekend.”

Many of Duke’s boats raced for the first time this season at the Chattahoochee. In

the novice singles, Duke’s three entries swept second through fourth place, an impressive accomplishment.

Several other boats finished well in the competition; Novice eight was ninth with a time of 22:39; club four finished second behind Tennessee with 21:04.1; senior Amelia Booth got 12th in championship singles in a time of 25:06.8; and the championship double teams finished sixth, eighth, 12th and 17th.

Despite a number of strong performances, Bailey said the team’s preparation was concerned with its overall finish at the regatta.

“Our team’s attitude was to go out there and row hard,” she said. “We were all hoping to do well and come out with a strong performance as a team.”

The Head ofthe Chattahoochee event concludes the Blue Devils’ brief fall season. The team now heads into winter training, with the rowers intent on building on the strides made in the fall.

“We’re going to focus on being consistent,” Bailey said. “We want to be intense and focused so that we’re ready to go in the spring.”

Men’s golf claims 4th at Landfall Tradition

By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

The Duke men’s golf team capped off a successful fall season with a fourth place finish at the inaugural Landfall Tradition played at the Country Club ofLandfall at UNC-Wilmington. Mike Castleforte played three sound rounds of golf and fin-

ished in a tie for fourth individually.

“We didn’t play as well as we would have liked,” Castleforte said. “I think we were tired and flat from last week’s West Coast trip.”

Defending NCAA champion Minnesota won the tournament, beating host UNC Wilmington in a playoff. Both teams finished the 54 hole event at 863 while Missouri shot a 870 and finished third.

The Blue Devils shot rounds of 292, 289 and 293. Duke golfers were hampered by cold temperatures during yesterday’s final round.

The individual crown was shared by two Minnesota golfers, Matt Anderson and Justin Smith who each shot 211.

Besides Castleforte, Duke freshman Ryan Blaum shot 219 and tied for 13th.

Leif Olson fired a 221, finishing 18th.

Both Blaum and Olson struggled during yesterday’s final round shooting threeover-par 75.

Castleforte was pleased with his overall play during the weekend but was again hurt by mediocre putting during the final round. He shot a oneunder-par 71 during each ofhis first two

Women struggle, men roll at ACCs

The men’s cross country team logged a strong second place finish Saturday on the strength of three top-10 individual finishers at the Atlantic Coast Conference championships in Atlanta. The impressive finish leaves the unranked men’s team with high hopes for a spot at the NCAA Championships Nov. 25 at Indiana State.

The women’s team did not live up to their high expectations, largely because two of the fastest Blue Devils were a little green around the gills. Freshmen Caroline Bierbaum and Laura Stanley were both coping with illness, but the Duke harriers were able to pull out a fourth-place finish, thanks to both a strong team performance and a brilliant individual race by ACC Freshman of the Year Clara Horowitz.

The Georgia Tech home course was described by coaches and runners alike as “challenging.”

The Duke men’s team met that challenge, finishing the race with 69 points, second only to the dominant performance of 21st-rated N.C. State, who netted a mere 17 points.

The first three Duke men to finish the BK-meter course did so withinfour seconds of one another. Sophomores Michael Hatch and Nick Schneider and junior Chris Williams were the top Blue Devils, with times

ranging from 24:51 to 24:55. Their eighth, ninth, and tenth place finishes earned all three spots on the AllConference Team. Sophomore lan Cronin placed fourth amongst the Duke squad and 19th overall, clocking in at 25:28.

“We had two career performances Saturday; Nick Schneider and lan Cronin,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “They’ve never had finishes like that in their time here at Duke.”

Jared Moore’s 25:32 time and 23rd-place finish made him the fifth and final Duke scorer.

The women’s team, ranked 13th nationally, came away just fourth in the ACC. The knowledge that a healthier team might have fared better somewhat softened the Blue Devils’ disappointment.

“We could have won it with some more of our team running at 100 percent,” said Horowitz, who finished fifth individually, making her the only Blue Devil on the All-Conference Team.

Horowitz covered the SK-meter course in only 21:11, less than five seconds away from overall winner Shalene Flanagan of North Carolina.

Freshman Sally Meyerhofffinished 13th overall, and Bierbaum and Shannon Rowbury finished 17th and 18th, respectively. Sophomore Phebe Ko was 28th overall and Duke’s lone non-freshman scorer. The Blue Devils finished with 81 points.

N.C. State and Wake Forest shared conference title honors, tying for first with 61 points.

Next weekend, both teams head to the Cavalier open in Charlottesville, Va. In order for the teams to be invited to nationals, they need to be one of the top two teams at the regional qualifier on Nov. 16.

“We hope to improve our finish,” Horowitz said, “because we’ll be facing pretty much the same competition.”

rounds and fired a 73 yesterday.

“I am a very streaky putter,” Castleforte said. “I was putting well during my first two rounds but the putts just seemed to lip out on Sunday. Putting has been my problem in final rounds in the past.”

While disappointed about not playing better, Castleforte remains excited about the fall season that saw Duke win the Nelson last weekend and have sev-

eral other strong performances. On the heels of last week’s win, the Blue Devils rose to No. 5 in the golfstat rankings for collegiate golf teams.

“While we didn’t play a great final ROBERT TAI/THE CHRONICLE round, we have a lot of momentum going into the winter offseason,” Castle- MIKE CASTLEFORTE ties for fourth this weekend at forte said. the Landfall Tradition; his team finished fourth as well.

WINE CLASS from page 3 With his hand over the cork, Gustafson first demonstrated how to slightly twist the bottle in order to release the cork without spilling too much bubbly.

“If you’re in a celebratory mood, and you want to let the champagne gush out all over the place, that’s fine,” Gustafson said. “But if you want to actually drink it, this is probably the best way to open a bottle of champagne.”

The champagne was passed around the circle of students, each filling about half of their glasses with the golden-colored liquid. Everybody held their glasses to the light, scrutinizing the wine’s color to judge how it looks on a scale of one to four. “Look at the size of the bubbles,” Gustafson instructed. “The smaller, the better.”

NETANYAHU* Netanyahu would presumably be subject to the discipline of Cabinet decisions, rather having the freedom to criticize the government from the outside.

Sharon “praised the decision in principle by Netanyahu to join his government,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement. Netanyahu’s demand for early elections was “being examined,” Sharon’s

office added.

Netanyahu could harm his image if he flatly refused to join the government at a moment ofcrisis. But analysts said he is reluctant to serve under Sharon as the race for party leader intensifies.

Sharon is the current Likud leader, but a party primary must be held before the next general election.

Some polls have shown Netanyahu winning a headto-head contest. He would then be positioned to become the next prime minister, according to the polls that show Likud winning the largest number seats in the next election.

In Israel’s chronically unstable political system, the winner of any election will have to work out alliances with a host of smaller parties. Such governments regularly fail, and the country has had five prime ministers in the past seven years.

Sharon’s broad-based coalition government lost its majority in parliament last week when the moderate Labor Party quit over a dispute about the funding of Jewish settlements in Gaza and the West Bank.

The coalition now has 55 seats in the 120-seat parliament, making the government vulnerable to collapse. Several no-confidence motions are expected in coming days.

Sharon and his aides are looking to form an alliance with the far-right National Union-Israel Beiteinu party, which has seven seats, enough to give the government a narrow majority.

National Union leaders met Sunday with Sharon’s Cabinet Secretary Gideon Saar to discuss joining the government. No decision was reached, but more talks were planned.

Sharon has said he will not alter his policies in order to bring in additional parties, but the National Union says it wants to see the government move further to the right in its handling ofthe conflict with the Palestinians.

“We want a significant change in the policies of the

tery and must pay a course fee of $125.

“A lot of my friends are in it, and they think it’s a great opportunity,” said senior Jasi Kamody, who attended a class session as a guest. “From what I hear, it’s totally worth the fee.”

Students find the course a nice transition into the weekend and learn how to be knowledgeable when ordering wine in restaurants and how to

drink responsibility.

“It’s the best class I’ve ever taken at Duke—it’s a lot of fun meeting people, and it’s different from a regular class setting,” said Kelly Williamson, a senior.

“I’m learning something I’ll be able to use in my life,” Kathy Pazmino, Trinity ’O2, who took the course last spring, said she

“simply could not refuse” when Gustafson asked her for help as a teaching assistant this semester.

“Luckily for me, we are sampling

government,” said Yuri Stern, a National Union lawmaker participating in the negotiations.

The National Union opposes the creation of Palestinian state and wants Yasser Arafat removed as the Palestinian leader, said Benny Elon, a National Union lawmaker.

Such hard-line coalition partners could put Sharon in a bind as he responds to a U.S.-led plan that seeks to establish a Palestinian state with provisional borders by next year.

When Netanyahu was prime minister from 1996-99, Sharon served as foreign minister for the latter part of that tenure. Netanyahu has criticized him for not expelling Arafat and the idea of Palestinian statehood.

When Netanyahu was premier longtime hawk Sharon was considered to be pulling him to the right—but now the two have traded places.

MULTICULTURALISM,ro m pages that a Christian-multiculturalism clash is more likely to play out at a school with more fundamentalist roots, such as Baptist-affiliated Wake Forest University.

“The Methodists founded 250 colleges or universities in America,” Willimon said. “They were the most successful—Syracuse, Vanderbilt, Emory—some fine private schools. Methodists had a broad view of church-related education, and Methodists were welcoming to a wide array of backgrounds and gave their schools a great deal of freedom.... Methodism is kind of liberal Protestant Christianity personified, so it tends to be pretty broad in its views, which means there’s less tension.”

Last year, a external review noted tensions in the religion graduate program—administered jointly by the religion department and the Divinity School’s faculty—in part over whether the Divinity School was too closely tied to the United Methodist Church.

In writing his Indenture of Trust that established Duke University as a Methodist institution in December

She pointed to accommodations like Muslim prayer space in the University, he has seen an explosion of new student groups among different faiths. the Bryan Center. “I had that impression because of Pointing to the 1999 founding of the Freeman Center Trinity College and the Chapel,” she said. “Once I came for Jewish Life, the growing Newman Catholic Center here, I really didn’t feel any of it.... I haven’t personally and the increasing religious diversity of the student felt any contradiction or any tension much at all. I think the University has done a pretty good job of balancing its body, Willimon said he is comfortable with the balance.

In addition, the University provided space in the roots along with its new initiatives.”

Bryan Center last year for a multicultural center, and Willimon warned, however, that too often, discussion spaces that house Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and ofmulticulturalism on campus does not include religion.

“We think gender differences, racial differences, ethTransgender Life and the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture have allowed the growth of networking nic differences. One of our jobs is to say we need to get and programming for alternative ideas and perspectives. sawier about our religious differences,” he said. “That’s Only one incident—the opening of the Chapel to my only concern about multiculturalism. We have too same-sex unions—has recently seen Christian and mulnarrow an idea of what ‘multicultural’ means.”

APATHY from page 1 dents about the candidates and issues while walking the precincts.

“Our main goal is to help support Republican candidates and to provide our members with campaign experience,” said junior Jeff Raileanu, Duke College Republicans president. “There are things you can learn in a campaign that you can’t get from a political science class.”

Both groups have most intently focused on the U.S. Senate race pitting Republican Elizabeth Dole against Democrat Erskine Bowles. The race has garnered much local and national media attention because of the relative prominence of the two candidates and the potential party turnover in the Senate.

A separate student group—Students for Dole—is also dedicated to supporting Elizabeth Dole, Woman’s College ’5B. The group has attended one of the candidate debates, listened to President George W. Bush speak in Charlotte and helped with fundraising dinners for Dole. With additional support from Duke College Republicans, Students for Dole also sponsored a rally at Duke for Dole in August.

“We thought the best way to [get students involved] was to have something separate from College Republicans so that we could attract people who support Dole, even if they’re not Republicans,” said sophomore Mary Ellison Baars, president of Students for Dole.

In addition to campaigning off campus, all three groups have also been active in trying to get Duke students registered to vote. In spite of their efforts, however, there seems to be a sense of apathy among many Duke students towards this election.

“Midterm elections are never going to draw as much interest [as presidential elections], but this race is above average as far as student interest is concerned because of the Senate race,” said senior Jonathan Morris, president of Duke Democrats. He added, “The average Duke student is still fairly ignorant of what is going on in the state and in the country.”

Freshman Danny Fitzgibbons agreed. “Duke students are more apathetic than I thought they would be. Most are not politically active, but that may just be [on] East Campus.”

Some attribute voter apathy to the fact that only about 15 percent of each class are North Carolina residents and may be paying closer attention to races in

their permanent homes.

“One of the biggest obstacles for Duke is that so many kids are from different states, so its hard to get people into one campaign because they’re all registered in different places,” Morris said.

Junior Gele Moloney said she is not voting because she is not registered, and even if she were registered, she probably would not vote. “[l] wouldn’t feel like it’s my job to vote.,” she said. “[lt depends on the students... [and the] people I’m friends with definitely are apathetic.”

By attempting to get students involved, groups such as Students for Dole have tried to overcome those attitudes. “The best way to combat apathy is to ask people to help, to make them feel they are going to make a difference,” Baars said.

Freshman Clare Hawthorne said she’s not voting because she’s only 17. She said one reason why students are apathetic is Duke’s atmosphere and location.

“Duke is so secluded,” she said.

PAGE 14 � MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4,2002

The Chronicle Vote for Dole

Now

that Jesse Helms is leaving the U.S. Senate, the door is

open for a new candidate to step in and represent the state Tomorrow, North Carolina voters have a choice between

Elizabeth Dole and Erskine Bowles, and the choice is clear: Elizabeth Dole is the right person to represent North Carolina in the Senate.

Dole has extensive experience in Washington, as a former labor secretary and transportation secretary, and also served as president of the American Red Cross, one ofthe nation’s greatest philanthropic organizations. Moreover, Dole has strong ties to North Carolina. Her mother continues to live in Salisbury, and Dole graduated from Duke’s Woman’s College in 1958. She has gone on to serve the University admirably as a Trustee.

But more important than her experience are her ideas, especially when compared to those of Bowles, who never outlined a clear vision during the campaign.

For example, take the issue of Social Security, where Dole has proposed a plan and Bowles has not. Dole’s plan to privatize part ofSocial Security, although not perfect, does aim to address problems the Social Security system will face 40 years down the road. Without significant changes to the system, it will become insolvent, forcing either severe reductions in benefits or harsh tax increases. While Bowles wants to maintain the unworkable status quo on Social Security, Dole is progressive and forward-looking and wants to allow young workers the entirely voluntary option to privatize and invest part of their accounts.

Moreover, Dole’s views against taxes are far superior to Bowles’ taxand-spend philosophy. By pledging not to raise taxes, Dole is ensuring that North Carolinians are getting a fair shake and that the money they earn, they can keep, without having it go to wasteful government spending. Bowles, however, by his insistence on bulky social welfare programs and a balanced budget, almost ensures that he will want to raise taxes, thereby crippling North Carolina’s economy.

Dole is also much more progressive and forward-looking than Bowles on the prospect of North Carolina jobs. Currently, many North Carolina workers are stuck in textiles, a dying industry. Whereas Bowles again wants to maintain the status quo and keep North Carolina workers in the textile industry, Dole wants to give these workers away out. By supporting free trade and fast-track authority, Dole recognizes that the future ofNorth Carolina is not in producing textiles, but rather in producing technology and offering services. Dole is planning for the state’s future and wants to give workers the opportunity to go to school, earn a new degree and get higher-paying, more satisfying jobs in technology and other emerging sectors. Whereas Bowles seems to not have a plan for the future of this state, Dole aims to create new jobs and opportunities through the benefits provided by free trade.

While Bowles is a strong candidate with experience as former president Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, he simply does not match up to Dole, in terms of the quality of his experience or the strength ofhis ideas.

Bowles is noted as a consensus builder and has a true concern for rural North Carolina, but this campaign and this election are really about vision. Dole has a vision for the future of North Carolina, whereas Bowles wants to keep things the way they are.

The Chronicle formally endorses Elizabeth Dole for US. Senate.

Sexual assault reality Editors Note: The following column was written by the victim of the reported sexual assault in Wannamaker Dormitory Oct. 9.

cent of daterapes are reported.

If the statistics I present are not shocking enough, adjust them to include those unvoiced cases. Julie Pike, sexual assault counselor at CAPS, affirmed this, saying, “Many women who know their assailant do not report for fear of being disbelieved or for fear of being blamed for the attack.” Unfortunately, these fears aren’t unfounded. We like to pretend that the questions “What was she wearing?” and ‘Was

Every weekend on our campus, two women report being sexually assaulted. To put that statistic in perspective: as a female student at Duke, I stand a one in 10 chance of being sexually violated before I leave. Wow.

she drunk?” justify the attacker’s behavior. The answers to these questions are irrelevant. Most of us are guilty of dressing “less than conservatively’ and drinking too much on occasion—but that doesn’t make us acceptable targets.

Women: Accept the fact that you are potential rape victim. I know many of you operate under the illusion “it will never happen to me.” It may.

During my time at Duke, sexual assault has been talked about in moderation—primarily after scary bathroom encounters. The dialogue seems to fade, however, as new locks are installed and safety measures are discussed.

No one wants to talk about the real issue: Sexual assault is a reality on our campus. The attacks are scary, but attacks are happening every weekend. Perhaps what makes this situation even more tragic is that no one is scurrying to change locks, increase security and start discussions about safety on campus in response to these “every weekend” attacks.

Instead, there is silence—and we wait until the

Anonymous Guest Commentary Until recently, I was aware of only two of these assaults. In both of these cases, the attacker was a stranger to the victim. These attacks are exceptions: The majority of assaults on campus are acquaintance rapes.

Very few incidents are criminally prosecuted.

In most cases, alcohol is involved. Girls allege rape, guys claim consent and little is done to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Virtually all of the accused attackers are students. These are guys we see every day

walking on the Bryan Center walkway, speaking in our classes, and drinking on Saturday nights. This realization hit me hard. Envisioning potential rapists as scary Durhamites, hiding behind bushes was a bit

more comforting.

Two weeks ago, my vision of the “scary Durhamite” came true, only the attacker wasn’t a Durhamite—l believe he was a student.

And he wasn’t hiding behind a bush, he was standing in a bathroom stall. The media’s account of what happened in that stall is not entirely accurate. While I’ll spare details, I would like to clear up a couple of misconceptions. The attack was labeled as an “attempted sexual assault.” This is wrong: A sex act was committed against my will. I did not “fight him olf and escape to my room.” He left—l didn’t escape.

I resisted, but at no point during the attack was I in control.

I was struck by how “normal” he looked.

Had he been washing his hands, I would have assumed one of my hallmates had a visitor. As the attack ensued, I came to the realization that “bad people” aren’t the distant, masked criminals I had once feared—they can be popular, well-shaven, J. Crew-sporting college kids with high GPAs and nice families.

I didn’t know the guy, but my situation is unique. Most women are violated by someone

they know and trust. On average, only 5 per-

next weekend.

To those who have been affected by this increasing trend on our campus, I offer two things. First, a definition: Sexual assault is any sex act (oral, vaginal or anal) committed or attempted without consent or committed when consent cannot be freely given (e.g., drunk, passed out, etc.).

Second, I offer you an invitation to talk can-

didly about your experiences, your frustrations or your fears. If you have been affected by this issue in any capacity and are willing to share your story, I urge you to contact me at ConcernedAtDuke@hotmail.com or through campus mail at Box 93920. This invitation is open to men and women and is not extended exclusively to victims. If you heard a relevant conversation last Friday at a party, send me that dialogue. If you think this issue is being overblown, send me your argument. Nothing is out of bounds. If any document is compiled, all names will remain anonymous.

To those of you who feel uncomfortable disclosing your story—even anonymously—in a public arena, let me know. I do hope that you will share your knowledge with me on a personal level. Right now, I’m grasping for ways to deal with this constructively. Input from anyone—especially past victims—might help convert my feeling of “Why me?” to “Why anyone?”

Commentary

The Chronicle

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4,2002 �PAGE 15

Rival versions of student life I have previously used this space to suggest some indications of the fragmentary nature of undergraduate life at Duke. This has included commentary on the difficulty of holding certain conversations outside ofrestricted spheres, the implicit moratorium on politically incorrect speech, the dominance of pre-professional aspirations for which the liberal arts are a decorative afterthought, the hypocrisy of selectively applied diversity platitudes and the adversarial nature of social life priorities played out between students and administrators. The full consequences of such fragmentation merit furWhat we find at Duke are radical XR practices of compartmentalization.

Between the classroom, sports teams, job I interviews, Saturday nights and Sunday J Bill mornings, students engage in a constant flux not simply of activities, but also of English values, priorities, reasoning and aspira- =r— —7 The Cntlcal Theory tions. The consequence is a culture that is as schizophrenic as it is diverse, in which undergraduates continually adopt and divorce rival versions of student life and are formed, over time, into individuals incapable of viewing their lives as a unified whole. Two consequences follow—one personal, one political—but to understand these we must first attend to a few of therival versions of student life prevalent on this campus: student as consumer, student as trainee and student as scholar.

The view of student as consumer is by far the most pervasive. Students are (high) paying customers at this institution who expect to receive quality goods in return —good housing, good food, good education and good times. A glorified cost-benefit analysis guides fundamental decisions within this mentality. Classes are chosen so as to satisfy minimum distribution requirements and maximize amusement and free time. It is no wonder then that entertainmentbecomes a central task of Student Affairs (pillowpadded entertainment to be sure), and Larry Moneta employs rhetoric of “service delivery” to describe obligations towards students. Hefty tuition bills must always find justification in bottom-line benefits.

Student as trainee is a somewhat related but fundamentally different concept. Within this mentality, one attends Duke in order to attain a very specific, practical ability. This is characteristic both of top-tier athletes as well as pre-professional students. The goal is to develop over four years in such away that upon graduation one is ideally positioned to become a professional I-banker, basketball player, medical doctor, etc. This may necessitate a certain narrowness offocus and isolation within the Duke community so as to dedicate oneself fully to this process.

Student as scholar is perhaps a more rare phenomenon,

though this aspiration is likely healthy amongst a good portion of underclassmen. Within the scholarly view of student life, the purpose of a Duke education is to broaden one’s understanding of the world. There is a notion that the liberal arts actually free the individual from the ignorance of youth and tyranny of popular thought. This is often done at great risk, for it is always unclear what the outcome of this engagement will be, and it is likewise an endeavor whose progress is difficult to measure by the rubric of immediate benefits or job offers.

These are, of course, not always mutually exclusive visions of student life. Certainly, for example, there are students who are paying good money to be trained as scholars, and even more for whom training as an investment banker is consonant with a consumer maximization of Duke experience. I need not dwell on these, for what is important is the degree to which these visions clash at the margins. What we observe within each version of student life are different claims regarding the purpose of time at Duke as well as a different hierarchy of values by which to judge various opportunities. Very few of us fully inhabit one sphere or another. Rather, we find ourselves constantly moving between them and having to modify the type of justifications we give for what we are doing at any particular moment. What counts as a good reason for going out Thursday night will be different if someone is wearing the hat of the scholar or the consumer. Unless someone inhabits one vision exclusively, he or she will not have any good reasons for choosing to be guided by one set of values over another. Not only, then, must these higher-order choices ofreasoning be to .. . .. some degree arbitrary, but there is the added difficulty of coming to terms with the question “who am I” in our university setting.

This is to say that answers to questions such as what I should do as a stu-

even the pre-professionals, really know what we want to do with our lives, let alone next year. Making choices beyond Duke requires an uncommon clarity regarding the kind of person one is in the process of becoming, and this is a clarity fundamentally absent from the fragmentation of campus life.

The second consequence is political and home out both on campus and in larger society. We are unable to have conversations about the public good, because we quickly discover that there is no public good as such, but only the diverse and incommensurate goods of compartmentalized activities. Students as well as citizens are given good reason to abstain from the trite and inconclusive “democratic” politics of both DSG and the US. Congress. Thankfully, very few people vote, and the morons we send to either legislature are kept in check by the few special interests that enough of us share in common.

What I have sketched here is but the beginning of an outline of a much larger critique of Duke life that is sorely needed. It is the kind of critique that Duke Inquiries on Gender, Student Affairs and Nan’s presidential committees would pursue if they were really serious about understanding the grave pathologies of undergraduate life. It would mean however, questioning the very foundations with which we are all much too comfortable and well

acquainted.

team, as a brother of that frat, as a job

candidate and as a socialite are in many instances incommensurable.

Rather than adopt one identity by which to principally judge all others, I would contend that most students pursue a day-to-day pragmatic and inco-

herent jumbling of priorities.

The first consequence is personal and involves the resulting difficulty of viewing one’s life as a coherent whole. This is acutely evident in the realization that most seniors have recently had, namely that none of us,

5:30 a.m. On the way to campus, we stop in the dirt lot. She tells me that as assistant president, I will need a car.

Suddenly, I realize that I’m about to be in the crime briefs. I pick out a crappy ’93 Civic and chuck a rock through the passenger window, causing $lOO in damage. Now I am the proud owner of the $24 car and its contents: $2OO Kenwood CD player, eight CDs totaling

In order to document President Keohane’s entire day, I spent the night before at her crib. Not so bad, but it really creeped me out when she kept refilling my wine glass and asking if I wanted to be head line monitor next year.

5:00 a.m. The alarm clock goes off, playing the theme song from Chip & Dales Rescue Rangers. Presidents sure must work hard to wake up this early.

While practicing hygiene, I notice that Nan uses Duke brand toothpaste. Must be a perk of being president, free condiments. Or is toothpaste a toiletry? I can never remember.

6:00 a.m. Nan’s driving really fast, and I’m having a hard time keeping up with her Corvette. I finally catch up with her at Sam’s Quick Shop on Erwin.

I run into the store to find her at the counter, corporate Visa in hand, showing her ID to the cashier. On the counter are countless 40 ounce bottles of Schlitz Malt Liquor, an unlabeled keg, a pack of Black & Milds and 12 bags of pork rinds. As I help her carry it all to her car, I try to explain that MLT is a Thursday thing, hence the “T”. She mentions something about Dean Sue’s birthday party and that it might be bad if her probation officer sees this.

6:45 a.m. We arrive on campus and are greeted by maintenance staff, ready to carry the beer into the Chapel. Nan

in my five years here. I ask where the money comes from, then rescind my question when I recall the latest tuition bill. When Nan realizes that she forgot some things, she sends me to Kroger.

“Get a few cans of EZ Cheese, a box of Twinkies and be sure to try the free pizza samples.” Odd that she knows what samples they have today. Maybe she’s more powerful than she lets on.

The rest of this column will be written in the past tense, because it’s easier.

4:12 p.m. They asked me if I wanted to taste a free sample of microwaveable pizza, and that’s the last thing I remember. I woke up in a coin laundromat with a raging headache and a person of questionable gender named Jesus at my side. We’ll assume that Jesus is male.

“He” was laughing at my notebook, which I had been using to record the day’s events. I groggily shook myself awake and leaned over to see what was so damn funny. Jesus put a hand on my thigh and started nibbling my earlobe, at which point I stood up and said, “I got a man.” Jesus replied with “whacha your man got to do with me?” I’ll spare you the rest of this.

4:31 p.m. I had to beat Jesus to death with his own shoes. He told me I could

have my notebook back if I pried it from his cold, dead fingers. I willingly complied. Inside I found multiple pages filled mostly with nude sketches of Ralph Wiggum. Some of them also included Groundskeeper Willie doing bad things, but I won’t go into that. My favorite sketch pictured a much older, pot bellied Ralph dressed in a white shirt and tie.

He was teaching a CPS 6 lecture and holding a laser pointer. As I thought back to my time in CPS 6.... Scary.

4:63 p.m. Some people refer to this time of day as 5:03, but not me. I returned to campus in search of my fearless leader. I found her in the Yoh

Center, surrounded by Football Gatorade coolers. There were four coolers, one for each quarter. I hid behind the soda machine and watched as she dumped a handle of Everclear into the cooler marked “4th Quarter.” This explains quite a bit, like how 24-10 became 34-31 so quickly. As Nan turned around, her eyes widened in fear. “SECOND GUNMAN, you must swear to never tell anyone about this. I could lose my job.”

I swear.

To be continued next week...
