Coach K, Duhon sustain injuries

Hip injury forces Hall of Fame coach to leave game for hospital By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle Midway through the first half of Duke’s 102-74 victory over the EA Sports All-Stars, junior guard Chris Duhon drove from the three-point line after missing two straight treys. He slashed to the basket angrily, cutting through defenders, before leaping from just inside the foul line. In mid-flight, he was bumped and his legs flew into the air. The crowd, fearing the season was about to shatter on Coach K court, leapt to its feet as the Blue Devil captain fell from the precipitous height. He landed on his left hand and his rear, and immediately rolled onto his stomach while clutching his wrist. When Duhon catapulted to his feet seconds later, the Duke faithful thought all was well, but a much greater problem had arisen on the bench Like the rest of the crowd and Duke sideline, head coach Mike Krzyzewski jumped from his seat as Duhon fell. Watching his point guard writhe in pain on the far end ofthe floor, Krzyzewski ran most of the way to mid-

� Plagued by questions surrounding the awarding of city contracts, the City Council will question City Manager Marcia Conner Monday. By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

The integrity of Durham city government is once again under fire as questions surface regarding the city manager’s contract policies. Several weeks ago, The Herald-Sun of Durham reported that City Manager Marcia Conner had violated city policy by

court. When Duhon appeared to be fine, the coach returned to the bench. There he told associate head coach Johnny Dawkins that his right leg hurt. “The time we jumped up when Duhon went down, you could see Coach wince like something may have happened,” Dawkins said. “He said, ‘Something’s wrong with my leg.’” Krzyzewski continued to coach throughout the first half, just as Duhon, who had sprained his left wrist, continued to play. The coach was in visible pain, however, at numerous points. After limping off the court at halftime, Krzyzewski gave his usual intermission talk to the team. He did not mention his injury and the players could not tell for certain if their coach was hurt. “It doesn’t matter how much pain he’s in, his main See INJURIES on page 16

Nixon forum incites fans, critics Faculty say they oppose reduction

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Thirty years after he left the White House, one of Duke’s most infamous alumni—former President Richard Nixon, Law ’37—was resurrected in a panel discussion that included both his staunchest supporters and a man who prosecuted him. In a two-hour discussion in front of a 100plus person audience at the School of Law, panelists gave the former president mixed reviews, but all agreed on the importance of his legacy. The speakers included Edward Nixon, Trinity ’52, his youngest brother; Raymond Price, Nixon’s special consultant and former head of his writing and research staff; Philip Lacovara, counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor who argued the Nixon tapes before the Supreme Court; and Ole Holsti, George V.

Professors engaged in a lively discussion on faculty growth at Thursday’s meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council, eventually passing a resolution against cutting the size ofthe faculty. The resolution came as a response to a report presented last month by a task force headed by Professor of Public Policy Studies Philip Cook. The Cook report evaluated the feasibility offour options for addressing projected budget shortfalls in Arts and Sciences. Given the available options, the task force concluded that, in a worse-case scenario, the best way to balance the budget may be to cut up to 50 faculty positions. Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe insisted at Thursday’s meeting that such a

Civil Service protections and advance an ideological agenda of cutting the bureaucracy. The Senate is expected to give final approval soon to legislation establishing the security department largely on Bush’s terms, which include wide latitude to transfer or fire employees. Some analysts said exposing much of the government work force to competition for their jobs at the same time Washington was assembling the biggest new government agency in half a century could undermine morale throughout the bureaucracy. Bobby Hamage Sr., the president ofthe American Federation of Government Employees, a union representing 600,000 federal workers, said the move Thursday showed that Bush had “declared all-out war on federal employees.”

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The President George W. Bush administration said Thursday that it would place as many as 850,000 government jobs—nearly half the federal civilian work force—up for competition from private contractors in coming years. Officials said the intent was to save money by ensuring the lowest cost for many routine duties, from mowing lawns and picking up trash to making eyeglasses and printing paychecks. But the sweeping policy change infuriated union leaders, who are already fighting the White House over workers’ rights in the new Homeland Security Department. They attacked the move as part of a broader effort by the White House to wipe out government jobs, take back

Campus Council tables safety plan � The residential governing body briefly considered a resolution arguing for cameras and other safety measures, but opted instead to wait for more student feedback. By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Campus Council tabled a controversial resolution concerning on-campus safety and sexual assault at its meeting Thursday night, hoping to give students another week to express their opinions on the issue. The resolution calls for the installation of cameras at the entrance to every residence hall, DukeCard access to dormitory bathrooms and ja. reevaluation of the procedures by which students are tried for sexual assault. The measure also asks for a new SafeWalks system which would function as a SAFE Rides-style service for pedestrians; better lighting around residence halls and the perimeter of Central Campus; and more self-defense physical education courses The possibility of cameras—which would not be monitored under the proposal, but rather Andrew Nurkin whose footage would be examined if an incident were to occur—stirred the most debate among the council members and three other residents who attended the meeting. “I, and others, really do object to cameras outside the residence halls,” said Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin, a senior. “We need to weigh the risks [of such a move].” Nurkin’s sentiments were backed by Duke University Union President Jesse Panuccio and Executive Secretary Jonathan Bigelow—two of the non-council members in attendance. “Cameras are an invasion of privacy and they have proven to not be a deterrent,” said Panuccio, a senior. He added that he was concerned that the student body had not been made aware of the possibility of such a resolution and urged the council members to communicate the issues better with their constituents, most of whom, he predicted, would not support such a measure.

N.C. NEWS THIS WEEK From staff and wire reports

Easley sued over transferred funds Accusing both Gov. Mike Easley and the General Assembly of unlawfully transferring money from the Highway Trust Fund to balance state budgets,

two officials responsible for the fund’s creation sued the state Thursday. The lawsuit, filed in Wake County Superior Court, was brought by plaintiffs Jim Harrington, a former transportation secretary, and former senator Bill Goldston, D-Rockingham, who served as co-chair of the committee that drew up the bill in 1989. Harrington and Goldston claim Easley improperly took $BO million from the Highway Trust Fund to counteract a 2002 fiscal year budget shortfall. The plaintiffs also found fault in the transferal in September of $205 million from the fund to a general fund, $BO million of which acted as a “recurring inflationary adjustment,” according to budget-writers.

The lawsuit says that the state constitution specifies that tax revenues must be used for their intended purpose, and that in the face of a budget crisis, a governor must reduce expenditures rather than usurp revenues. In the state’s budget crisis, Easley has used his emergency powers to take $BOO million from one-time revenues.

Suspected al Qaeda member arrested A fugitive accused of leading a Detroit terrorist cell has been arrested in

North Carolina and will be extradited to Michigan to face authorities. Although originally identified in an indictment as Abdellah, N.C. court papers now identity the man as 36-yearold Abel-Ilah Elmaroudi of Minneapolis. In an August indictment in Michigan, Elmaroudi was accused of acting for a radical Islamic movement allied with al Qaeda in a “covert underground support unit” and an “operational combat cell.” Elmaroudi, who “provided direction” to the Detroit cell, according to the indictment, was charged with providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to engage in fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents. Along wdth Karim Koubriti, Ahmed Annan and Farouk Ali-Haimoud—who pleaded innocent in September to conspiring to provide material support or resources to terrorists—Elmaroudi is scheduled to go to trial Jan. 21. These are the first known charges since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to be brought against an alleged terror cell.

Greensboro lifts water limits Mandatory water use restrictions were lifted for the first time in a year Thursday in Greensboro, indicating that the drought that has plagued the state in past months may be coming to an end. For about four years, climatologists have observed less-than-average rainfall in North Carolina. However, the past winter saw acute rainfall and a drought that drained already-suffering water supply systems. Greensboro has had restrictions in some form or another since last Decern-

ber. During the summer, for example, residents were not permitted to water their lawns or wash their cars at home. The city’s three main reservoirs reached their lowest levels at the end of August. But the week before Labor Day, rain began to fall more heavily and boosted lake levels. Good news came Wednesday when Lake Townsend, the biggest reservoir, filled. Water systems statewide are recover-

ing in much the same way, although officials still stress the importance of keeping an eye on water measurements.

Case judged by historic panel For the first time in North Carolina state history, a panel of three black female judges on the Court of Appeals sat together Wednesday to hear a case. However, the momentous occasion will probably not happen again for quite some time, after two ofthe judges lost elections last week. Judges Wanda Bryant and Loretta Biggs lost their elections last week by slight margins and will step down Dec. 31, two years after having been appointed to the court. The third judge, Patricia Timmons-Goodson, will have a chance for reelection in 2006. Judge James Wynn, the only other black member of the 15-judge appeals court, was responsible for the session. He suggested putting Biggs and Bryant in place of himself and another judge at the hearing of a Greensboro murder conviction appeal to which TimmonsGoodson was already assigned. At the hearing’s end, the judges hugged and posed for pictures.

Most council members, however, said they supported the measure. “This will help the victims and bring the assailants to justice,” said junior Mark Pike. He noted that even if the majority ofstudents are opposed to cameras, it is Campus Council’s responsibility to protect the interests of those in the minority, as he said it did last year when it passed a resolution calling for a residential smoking ban. Pike is also a staff writer for Recess, The Chronicle’s arts and entertainment weekly. Sophomore Jake Flomenberg, another council member, said that although he was in favor of the cameras, he was worried about possible abuse by the administration. “They don’t have to listen to us,” he said. “They could continue to monitor them for all sorts of things.... [During parties,] half of my quad is going to be’ in legal trouble if that [is] the case.” Deb Loßiondo, assistant dean of residential life and housing services, said the cameras that were installed this semester on a trial basis at Randolph Dormitory on East Campus are

not monitored and others also would not be. She said that since the October reported sexual assault of a female student in a Wannamaker Dormitory bathroom, the majority of those attending safety forums have called for cameras. The council, however, still thought more input from the community was needed. Nurkin encouraged students to contact their quad councils and campus council representatives to express their opinions on the matter.

NIXON from page 1 sti said, was his international policy. Holsti gave the former president good grades, particularly for his relations with China, but lamented his resignation from office as a lost opportunity for further international relations. Lacovara emphasized the former president’s impact on the legal system and the presidency. “With the exception of Franklin Roosevelt, no president has had more impact on public law,” Lacovara said. When he counseled the special prosecutor, Lacovara’s office chose to bring the case before the U.S. Supreme Court in order to name the case The United

States of America v. Richard Nixon “It showed the special prosecutor was the prosecutor for the United States, and that Richard Nixon was a man who just happened to be president,” Lacovara said. “It demonstrated the ultimate constitutional point that the special prosecutor has the right to evidence, wherever it may lay, and showed that the president must abide by the law.” Both Price and Edward Nixon staunchly supported the former president’s integrity during Watergate. Price predicted that in the future Nixon would be rated as one of the nation’s best presidents. “I fought the Watergate battle alongside him,” Price said. “I believed then, as

The Marshall Group has also received payments from the city, yet the written contract between the two has not been signed by Conner. When first questioned, Conner denied she had anything to do with granting the contract to the Marshall Group. The firm is owned by Byron Marshall, who served as assistant city manager of Austin, Texas, a post Conner occupied after Marshall left in 1994. However, at a Nov. 4 City Council meeting, she admitted having a role in the contract decision. Mayor Bill Bell announced Monday that city auditors would examine every contract initiated by Conner over the past year. Also, the audit will look at a random sampling of contracts granted by other city agencies to ensure policies are being followed elsewhere. “I think the reason he requested the audit was to look at the contracts that had come out of her office, [and also] to look at other city contracts to make sure

Raleigh, Conner admitted to violating policy but wrote that she had Durham’s best interests in mind. “Since I arrived here, my focus has been on ‘getting the job done.’ And, I must admit, in my zeal to be responsive to the community... I’ve made some mistakes along the way,” Conner wrote. “What was done was done in an effort to complete important projects, improve our city and move toward the future.... The old adage, ‘you can be right, but not correct,’ is probably appropriate for this situation.” Cole-McFadden said good intentions do not constitute a legitimate reason to neglect procedure. She added the current contract rules are in place both to minimize costs and to provide local businesses the opportunity to get city contracts. “That’s a very distressing piece to me,” she said. Conner began her public service career as a budget analyst in South Florida, before becoming budget director for Arlington County, Va.

The audit should be complete by next Monday, when the City Council will hold a closed meeting to talk about Conner’s performance, and then discuss the Marshall Group contract in particular at the council’s regularly-scheduled meeting at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall. The council has the authority to reprimand Conner. Council members say they will withhold judgment until the audit is completed Monday and more facts surface. “We’re just trying to get a feel of the extent to which we have complied with policy,” said council member Cora Cole-McFadden. Currently, however, she added that she does not see any explanation for the discrepancies. “According to policy, in unusual circumstances she might be able to waive contracts,” Cole-McFadden said. “But the [contracts] in question are the ones where the policy was very clear.” In a Nov. 10 letter to The News & Observer of

CLUBS from page 3 national Association for the Exchange of Students with Technical Experience, said her group seeks those interested in engineering students’ difficulty in finding time to go abroad—a topic she said is rarely considered by students. While Richter observed a general need in the engineering student body, sophomore Matthew Tolnick helped to charter Students for a Sensible Drug Policy because of a personal incident. “My best friend from freshman year was arrested for simple marijuana pos-

session and the arrest drove him to try to hurt himself,” Tolnick said. “This piqued my interest in the war on drugs.” The final step in the group recognition process is attending one of DSG’s

weekly general body meetings, where legislators ask questions regarding the prospective clubs and vote to accept or reject their charters. Not everyone is approved on the first try. “I made our goals and purposes known to DSG; however, they objected to SSDP upon first consideration,” Tolnick said. “After defending the organization in a 15-minute question-and-answer session, it came to a vote and was nearly unanimously passed.” DSG legislator Raymond Stoney said there are no set criteria for charter approval, but there are ways to increase the chances of gamering approval. “Representatives from these groups should come prepared to answer questions about their mission, contingency and how they intend to impact the existing Duke community,” Stoney said.

Along with the new party chairperson, several more men in their 50s and 60s were expected to be named to the Politburo Standing Committee in a ceremony in the Great Hall of the People. Many observers predict that until he consolidates his own power base, Hu will follow the agenda of steady economic reform and political conservatism set by Jiang over the last 13 years. “It’s too simplistic to call him liberal or hardline,” cautioned Fred Hu, a managing director at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, who first met Hu Jintao 20 years ago when both were members of

the Communist Youth League. Fred Hu was a student at the elite Tsinghua University in Beijing, Hu Jintao’s alma mater. The two are not related. “At the time he was young and forward-looking, dynamic. I believe he still is,” said Fred Hu, who earned a Ph.D. in economics at Harvard and has lectured on corporate governance at the training academy for up-and-coming cadres that Hu Jintao directs. “He owes his career to the Chinese reform process, so I expect his vision and thinking are very much in tune with the demands and expectations ofmodern people.” At least at first, Hu will be operating in the shadow of his predecessor. Hu was annointed by former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping. Although Hu was careful never to oppose Jiang, neither did he become a Jiang acolyte.

large cut of the faculty would never occur. “Fifty [cuts] is not ever something that we’re going to ask for,” he said. “It is, in fact, not conceived by me, my staff or [Provost Peter Lange].” Chafe said he and other officials would explore various measures before making any cuts. He nevertheless acknowledged the possibility of further reducing the number of faculty searches in coming years. Searches were already down from 42 in 2000-2001 to 32 last year. In light of the budget debate, the executive committee of the Arts and Sciences Council produced Thursday’s resolution, which passed with about a two-thirds majority. “I think it’s useful for the council to go on the record [in opposition to faculty cuts],” said Professor of History John Richards. “This is a bad idea. Think of something else.” The resolution originally did not express such strong opposition to decreasing the faculty size, but instead left the door open for cuts as a last resort. Over the course of the afternoon’s discussion, however, professors passed an amendment expressing the position that the faculty should not be reduced in size at all. A number of faculty members offered dissenting perspectives on the resolution. Some said it was too weak of a response to a report they felt outlined an argument for cutting faculty; others worried the resolution was too strong. “Really, it does look a little self-serving to come out as strongly as this resolution does,” said John Staddon, James B. Duke professor of psychological and brain sciences. After the amendment to strengthen the resolution passed, another motion was submitted to state that the size of the faculty should be allowed to increase as needed. Although the motion eventually failed by a large margin, faculty members engaged in a spirited debate over the clause. Those opposed argued that growth in itself should not necessarily be a goal ofArts and Sciences and that the issue should not be addressed in the

context of the resolution on the Cook report. “We’re sounding like the Durham City Council,” Staddon said. “Do we really think that growth is always better?” However, other faculty members remained concerned about the long-term prospects of growth in Arts and Sciences. “Voting [against the motion] means that we’ll live with no growth or that we think no growth is an okay thing,” said Jane Gaines, professor of English and literature and director ofthe film/video/digital program. “What about the future...?

The administration’s new policy, which can be enacted without congressional approval, is a major expansion of a trend that has been coursing through government at all levels for the past two decades. State and local governments as well as Washington have been hiring private companies to pick up trash, run prisons, collect traffic tickets and do much of the other mundane business of government. Until now, the Bush administration had been pressing government agencies to subject 15 percent of jobs that are not “inherently governmental” to private competition. The jobs that are subject to competition are defined as “commercial activities,” like running cafeterias, making travel arrangements and other tasks that are routinely done in the private sector. The new policy sets a target of subjecting half of those jobs to private competition in the next two years or so, and putting all 850,000 of them up for competition over the long run. The federal government’s experience so far is that about half the jobs put up for competition end up going to private contractors. Of the jobs that are privatized, according to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, 60 percent go to small businesses and companies owned by women and minorities. “This is intended to get the best deal for taxpayers and to ensure the highest level of government services for the citizens of the United States,” said Trent Duffy, the spokesperson for the OMB. Duffy said the change had been in the works since last year, when Bush laid out a plan for improving the management efficiency. Hamage of the employees’ union said federal employees almost always had more expertise and experience than outside contractors in doing the jobs that were put up for bid. He said there had been many cases in which private contractors either drove up the

costs to the government or failed to do the job well. “This administration is selling the federal government at bargain basement prices to their corporate friends, who then make campaign contributions back,” Hamage said. “This is not about saving money, it’s about moving money to the private sector.”

Blue Devils fall to ‘dirty’ Cavaliers 4-1 in ACC’s By PAUL DORAN

The Chronicle

CARY After a an even first half in which the men’s soccer team was deadlocked with the Virginia Cavaliers in virtually every statistical category—including the 1-1 score line—the Blue Devils fell apart and out of the first round of the ACC tournament, as they were crushed by the Wahoos 4-1 at the SAS Soccer Complex in Cary. Facing a comer kick following a quick Virginia attack in the 47th minute, Duke loaded the box with defenders. But after a Jacob Leßlanc lob pinged around the Blue Devil goal for a few seconds, it somehow found the foot of Cavs star Ryan Gibbs who lightly knocked it past Justin Trowbridge and a mass of confused Blue

And though the Gamcmmntan Cavaliers avoided chomping on ears, breaking knees or severing appendages, Virginia thrived on extremely rough play which added up to 23 fouls, five yellow cards and one red card. “I wouldn’t say [the played] as much rough as dirty,” senior co-captain Donald Mclntosh said. ‘These guys, they come out here and I think over 50 percent of the time they’re not even going after the ball, and it’s just frustrating. I’m just trying to go out there and play the game of soccer, and these guys aren’t even trying to play.” The Blue Devils were clearly frustrated throughout the game, but stayed even by matching the Cavaliers’ aggressiveness.

Sometimes almost isn’t enough. Coming off a bye week in a season that has seen too many missed opportunities for a resurrection from the depths of the ACC, the Duke football team travels to Atlanta Saturday to face a Georgia Tech squad that is on the other end of in-between, having won the nail-biters the Blue Devils have lost and as a result looking at bowl possibilities coming down the season’s home stretch. Meanwhile, Duke simply aspires to take its first conference victory in three years. “We need to one or two of these last games,” Duke head coach Carl Franks said. “We’d like to win them both, but we need a win to carry us with a little more momentum into the off-season. I think we’ll feel better about ourselves. It’ll show how much improvement we’ve made, and it’ll help us keep try to make more improvement in the off-season.” The Blue Devils (2-8, 0-6 in the ACC) at least have their conference-best run defense to feel better about heading into the 1 p.m. showdown at what is expected to be a soggy Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Yellow Jackets (6-4, 3-4 in the ACC) rank second with 119.6 rushing yards allowed behind Duke’s 118.4, so Saturday is sure to feature a battle in the trenches. With a 70-percent chance of rain predicted, Duke might have the same type of advantage it saw in the season opener when Alex Wade pounded East Carolina

into the mud to snap the Blue Devils’ frighteningly long losing streak. Franks also said he would consider spreading out the offense to create more running room, a scheme made possible after running back Chris Douglas took the bye week to heal. The Rambling Wreck, meanwhile, are still aching, with injuries to starting tackles Nat Dorsey and Jeremy Phillips only further hurting their offense’s chances as Tech prepares to faceoff against a familiar face. Duke defensive coordinator Ted Roof returns to Atlanta to face his former team, having instilled the system he used with the Yellow Jackets to make stars this season out of ACC sack leader Shawn Johnson and stalwart linebacker Ryan Fowler. “The first thing that they’re doing is stopping the run,” Tech coach Chan Gailey said. “Anytime you can stop the run—and they’re leading the conference in rushing defense—you’re going to allow yourself to be in the ballgame. By stopping the run, you make the other team become one-dimensional, and all of a sudden you can knock a pass down here and stop a drive there and stay in the game.” If that’s enough to help a Duke pass defense that Franks acknowledged he was worried about, the Blue Devils could keep the ball out ofthe air on both sides and avoid a fate similar to the last time out, when Clemson quarterback Charlie Whitehurst put together a game-winning drive to outplay Adam Smith and his three interceptions.

Blue Devils demolish second straight exhibition foe By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

102 Duke’s young basketball team put on a disEA All-Stars 74 play of dominance with a 102-74 victory over the EA All-Stars Thursday night, as Five Blue Devils, including three freshman and two reserves, scored in double figures. “The story was our bench,” associate head coach Johnny Dawkins said, “I thought our guys did a great job of stepping up. I thought they brought a lot of energy when we subbed in the first half. Our starters actually fed off of that.” Duke opened the game at a torrid pace that left the All-Stars sucking wind at every break. Freshman Shavlik Randolph used his size and quickness to burn his opposition for two early layups, including a three-point play. After finishing the night with 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting, Randolph spoke about his team’s mentality. “We don’t feel the pressure,” Randolph said. “We just go out there and play basketball. We know the type of tradition this school has and we have the utmost confidence that we will continue that tradition.” Fellow freshman Sean Dockery provided a huge lift off the bench with six steals and 12 points. His defensive prowess helped the Blue Devils contain the EA All-Stars to only 34 points at halftime. One key play that sparked a Blue Devil run was Dockery’s steal from opposing point guard Mike Elliot and his subsequent court-length drive for a layup.

Duke

“Sean has great hands,” Dawkins said. “Even when we watched him in high school he did a terrific job of stealing the basketball.”

Duke used a barrage of fast-break attacks to bust the game open before the halftime buzzer. Blue Devil captain Chris Duhon assisted sophomore Daniel Ewing on two three-pointers, the second of which forced the All-Stars to use their second timeout with Duke leading 35-17. Prior to the scoring binge, Duhon collided with a hoard of EA All-Stars and was planted on his back. Jumping from the bench out of concern for his point guard, head coach Mike Krzyzewski injured his hip forcing him to miss the second half. Nevertheless, Duke maintained its intensity without their leader. Randolph was proud of his team’s effort despite missing their mentor on the sideline. “We go out there to prove a point,” Randolph said. “We’re going out there for Coach K. We knew he was struggling and we had to get our own energy together. I think we responded well.” The second frame highlighted yet another freshman, J.J. Redick. The Virginia native, known for his deft three-point shooting ability, managed to miss all six of his attempts from behind the line. Sensing his struggles behind the arc, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard opened the second half with a driving layup. Minutes later, Redick—anticipating a lackadaisical pass from the EA AllStars—jumped in front of Damien Cantrell and scored an uncontested layup. On the next Blue Devil possession he curled off of a screen and nailed a jumper. The combination ofRedick and Ewing at the two-guard position could be one of

The Chronicle staff got a little bored this week with exhibition basketball games, so they decided to check out some Duke alums in the NBA. “Let’s go see Mike Dunleavy play,” Whitney Beck “is so 90’s” ett said. “He’s soooo dreamy. I especially like his eyes and how they sink into his face.” The staffs motivations were slightly different, but they wanted to see Dunleavy in action nonetheless. “What about my boy The Balia’ Formerly Known as Jason Wi-zil-liams?” Robbie “Swervin’” Samuel exclaimed. After a staff vote, it was decided that The Chronicle would head to the Sunshine State to see Dunleavy play for the Golden State Warriors. Paul “No Diggity” Doran picked up his cell and called Dunleavy to inform him ofthe good news. “Oh, golly gee! My daddy will be so excited that someone’s actually coming to see me,” Dunleavy said. “I probably won’t be playing when you come, but Dad is going to get me traded soon to an offense where I’ll be able to score more—at least up to five points a game.” So the staff gathered their things, hit up RDU and flew out to California where they were immediately overcome with smog, valley girls and annoying people from Stanford. “Hey guys, that’s not very nice, I’m from California,” Neelum “Feel’em” Jeste said. “This is where Saved by the Bell is from.” Brian “Gimme some” Morray immediately beamed, and started imitating A.C.

He was then taken to Duke Medical Center for X-rays, the results of which were not available Thursday night. “When he came in and couldn’t even continue to at least sit on the bench and do what he was able to do last year, obvi-

Krzyzewski, who has had a history

of arthritis-related hip problems, had his right hip replaced in March of this year. He has said that he feels much better now than he did last season. His left hip was replaced in April of 1999. Prior to that, he missed most ofthe 1994-95 season because of back problems. With Krzyzewski out, Dawkins coached the team in the second half. The Blue Devils continued to blow out

Adogwa immediately jumped up, only to find Cavalier Matt Oliver in his face. Duke’s bench erupted, but maintained its composure as the team attempted to pacify Adogwa and Oliver, who were jawing at each other in an ugly manner. Rennie ran onto the field, making certain that his players avoided the fray. “I was just concerned with our guys getting away from that and not getting dragged down to that level,” Rennie said. UVa’s final infraction came in the 82nd minute, when a red card was expeditiously awarded to Sean Feeney after he

COMMENTARY from page 11 “First half we matched Virginia step-for-step,” Owoicho Adogwa said. “They gave us an elbow, we gave them an elbow back.” An elbow for an elbow, a goal for a goal. At least, that’s how it went in the first half when Adogwa tied the game with a masterful goal in the 36th minute. Virginia retaliated with two quick goals in the second half, breaking Duke’s spirits, although they appeared to be trying to break everything but. “It was a very physical game, let me put it that way,” head coach John Rennie said. “If it was handled in the first half

But it got out of hand.” The closest Duke came to losing its cool was in the second half when Adogwa hit Jacob Leßlanc in the face with an inadvertent elbow while jockeying for possession of the ball. No foul was called on the play, much to the chagrin of senior Kenny Arena, who followed the referee around yelling and waving his arms. When play resumed, Adogwa was

he was trying to get back on his feet. Asked to comment on his team’s belligerent play, UVa coach George Gelnovatch spoke succinctly and

unashamedly, shrugging off culpability

by saying that such physical play was typical for the caliber of competitiveness in the ACC. “I don’t think my team’s dirty,” he said

EA Sports, adding to their 55-34 halftime lead. “That helped us grow as a team, not having our leader there,” Duhon said. “Guys came together and we were still able to execute and play pretty good basketball.” Duhon, who finished with eight points, six assists and five rebounds, continued to play until the middle of the second half. He then had his wrist X-rayed—the results were negative—-

“I don’t know how serious it is, but it’s really bothering me right now. “I was just trying to brace myself from the fall. I guess my vertical got a little bit higher, because that was a long fall.” Duke now has some time to recuperate before the season opener Nov. 23 against Army. For now, thoughts remain on Krzyzewski. “I’m concerned about him, because we all love him and I know about his troubles in the past,” freshman Shavlik Randolph said. “I hope, I pray that everything will be all right and that God will take care of him.”

Letters to the editor Incorporated

1993

English course changes Proposed changes to the English major—including focused clusters of three courses on the same topic—promise improvements over the current system

Last

month, the University approved a reorganization ofthe English department’s curriculum, trying to model it in part on the freshman FOCUS program with a cluster of courses grouped around a specific topic. The English major has been sorely in need ofreorganization and additional focus. Currently, the requirements are somewhat haphazard and do not provide students with sufficient guidance about what courses or types of courses to take. And the general idea ofthe English department to add coherency through clusters ofthree consecutive courses, each building off the one before, is a strong model around which to base a meaningful educational experience. The English department should think very carefully about what types of clusters it offers. Currently, the proposed clusters—which include the history of the book, creative writing, theory ofthe novel, gender and sexuality, the science of literature and psychoanalysis and literature —seem somewhat tangentially related to the study of English literature per se. Perhaps the English department should consider clustering studies around time periods, nationalities, or genres of literature rather than on these more esoteric subjects. One encouraging prospect is the creative writing focus. Although this focus may be a bit unusual for a research university, it is nevertheless an interesting idea and might encourage students who are interested in becoming writers to come to Duke. Also, the codification of a creative writing program could help present Duke students who are interested in creative writing yet currently have a limited outlet. Also, the requirement that students take courses about English literature across various time periods is a good one, although it may not go far enough in properly guiding students into taking courses on the best authors and seminal texts. In this vein, one disappointing aspect of the new English curriculum is its de-emphasis on some of the central figures of English literature Shakespeare, Chaucer and Milton. Currently, English majors must take at least one class on one of these authors. However, under the new system, one can major in English without having read anything by any of them. In order to ensure that English majors receive a complete education in the Western tradition, perhaps the English department should institute requirements stressing the importance of these authors. —

Students in fear of future poverty need a kickback After the last three years of figuring out in which direction I want to take my life, I finally declared my major in English two weeks ago, which entails putting up with the fact that I am going to be poor for the rest of my life. So when I read Emily Streyer Carlisle’s column I thought, “Well, if doctors are underpaid, then I am really screwed.” Being an English major allows me the advantage of being completely ignorant of the facts, so I really don’t know how accurate Carlisle’s column is, but I do know that the feeling is there and that I can speak for all the students of English, art history, philosophy, music and others at Duke when I say, “Dude.” Jn a perfect world, we would all be able to make a decent living off what makes us the happiest.

I stopped by the Durham County GOP election office to volunteer my services. They had received a call that Elizabeth Dole signs at City 5 Precinct had been tom down. Gathering several signs, I drove there and planted the signs wires into the soggy earth. Coming back later, I found the signs had been uprooted yet again. After fixing them, I returned to the car armed with a camera (I was informed by a Durham County Republicans leader

for my trouble. What I really needed was some sort of example to learn from, manly men I could watch and emulate.Wrestling! Who’s more built than pro wrestlers? And think of all the girls they get! If I was going to learn from example, I had to watch pro wrestling.

Returning

So I sat down in the Bryan Center TV room and flipped on Monday Night Raw. And believe me, I was absolutely right about those wrestlers. I was admiring their well-defined pecs and how good they looked in all that spandex when I felt a tap on the shoulder. “Hey, are you a wrestling fan? That’s great! I’m actually a bit of an amateur myself—lemme show you my sleeper hold!” Tuesday; Kappa Sig. I was about ready to declare defeat and resign myself to a lifetime of girliness. I had one last hope: porn. I thought Fd read somewhere that looking at porn made you a real man. I’d also heard that they sold Playboy in the convenience store under the Marketplace, so I decided to check it out. I got carded. And I didn’t have

any ID. So I broke down. “I can’t get anything right!” I sobbed. “I keep trying to be manly but there’s nothing I can do and I always end up passing out and waking up next to a guy and it’s probably going to happen again and I’m just going to be a girl for the rest of my life and now I can’t even buy porn!” But the clerk offered me a Kleenex and dried my face. “Hey, cheer up, buddy! It’ll be all right. Listen, I’m in Kappa Sig—maybe we can work out a deal.” Wednesday: I had an epiphany Tuesday night. There was only one thing to do, and so I rolled over in bed and asked, “Where is this relationship going?”

the Duke bubble

Study abroad provides perspectives that a student at the University would not otherwise experience As my stay in Australia comes to an end, I find myself reminiscing about what I’ve learned during these past few months. Yes, it sounds like the trite opening line to a college admissions essay, but this 20,000-mile distance away from home has brought on many new perspec-

fives. Most importantly, it’s been a jßfe, reality check about Duke and the social bubble in which we live. Don’t get me wrong: I love Duke and I know there’s no college where I’d be Jennifer happier. But, having broken free ofthe gothic brick walls, it’s become clear Wlach that our campus is not a social utopia. e People are hypercritical of themselves Perspective and of others. Our sheltered lives are focused on trivial details that give us small indication of the life we’re expected to lead after graduation. I’m just as guilty as the rest. I put on my sundress and stand in a parking lot full of kegs for tailgates. I get psyched for themed mixers and putting on costumes most likely bought from Thrift World or Party City. I thoughtlessly swipe my DukeCard for meals, laundry and books. And I mistakenly consider this an independent life. We pay little attention to the fact that everything is provided for us on campus. Our dorms are cleaned, food is available all the time. Hell, we can eat at the Washington Duke on points—we’re hooked up like no other students I know! All we have to do is get ourselves to class. Yes,

Duke can be about as real as The Real World. Sydney, however, gave me a preview of what independence is actually like. Australia was, in a word, relaxed. People were not stressing over wardrobe rotation and date functions, Life was not a drama-ridden imitation ofFelicity. In Sydney, issues were paying rent, signing leases and being the only one responsible for yourself. Plans to go out at night were not a military-like project complete with time coordinates, but inconsequential details of an adult life. The people I met were truly diverse. I’m not referring to racial or ethnic identity, but rather that every student was not a high school overachiever with a good GPA and SAT scores. The students at university here are not on our “Game ofLife” plan that goes something like: college, bonus, marriage, grad school, job with $lOO,OOO kids, pets. Many of my Australian friends have spent +

years working their way through Europe before considering higher education. Some of the guys I met from Europe are fresh off their compulsory military service and starting college in their early 20s. They take life as it comes, and are in no rush to settle in now, work on their golf game and wait for retirement. Perhaps the most important distinction is that people in Australia are not quick to place you into some superficial category. No one is concerned about which greek letters I wear or which fraternity I hang out with. Life outside class is not wasted talking about other people—something Duke girls seem to be bred to do

This change has also been positive for meeting other Duke students, not just people from other parts ofthe globe. I’ve gotten to know several Dukies whom I would have never known on campus. They have become friends, rather than people I would have randomly met one night and occasionally said “hi” to in line at Alpine. Outside the social bubble we were able to put aside the judgmental vices that we’ve developed over the past three years. So, having been on my own now, it makes me wonder how I will readjust to life back on campus. Will I slide right back into the superficial conventions? Am I going to return to a life where getting asked to bigtime formals like Lei Party are all that’s important? Not gonna happen. Granted, I’ll still go to date functions and mixers; I’ll still put on a sundress to go stand in the Blue lots. I will still participate in the social scene, but I will not play into the system and

be defined by it. When I get back inside the bubble, it will be with greater understanding and appreciation of Duke and its dysfunctional social environment. I’m leaving my southern Pacific paradise with one thought in mind: I’ve only got three semesters left and I’m going to enjoy them to the fullest. College may be a sheltered existence; it may be a melodramatic scene instead of real independence. But these are, without question, the best years of your life.

IRAQ AND US: A LETTER TO THE FACULTY Debate

is the essence of democracy. Since the Vietnam War, we have not had a more critical juncture in US foreign policy than the looming attack on Iraq. Yet the general mood of most folk, including most Duke students, staff and faculty, is to go about business as usual. We want to encourage, even provoke debate. We want everyone to count it as a patriotic duty to reason, to speak, to listen, to act on this crucial issue: do we or don't we attack Iraq? Who benefits? Who loses? Where do we go in the war on terror AFTER Iraq? What else can we do to prevent another 9/11 if we don't attack Iraq? What about the Iraqi children and civilian population? What about the global environment? What about our own economy? What about our hopes for a free and fair world of the future, for ourselves and for our children?

There are no simple answers to any of these questions, but we feel that they need to be reflected upon, aired, debated, and addressed as a community. We at Duke are part of a national crisis management unit and we must begin to assume our share of the collective responsibility for all adult Americans at this defining moment in our national history. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said regarding the war of his generation, "We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. "

Let us not be "too late." Though we come from different disciplines, represent varied political, social, and ethical perspectives, and hold different views on what should be done, we are united behind this call for dialogue and debate. We recall the mission of Duke University, "to engage the mind, elevate the spirit, and stimulate the best effort of all" and "to contribute in diverse ways to the local community, the state, the nation and the world." We call upon Duke University faculty to join us in an initiative to address this historical juncture, a nation on the brink of war. The initiative asks three things of you. 1) During a three-day period, November 18-20, we ask that you devote a period of time during your class to addressing this issue. 2) We ask that you share your commitment with the Duke community in a public web-based forum by letting us know what class you are teaching and how you propose to address "IRAQ AND US," This information will be available at http://aaswebsv.aas.duke.edu/iraqandus. (Email: mdf@duke.edu) 3) Participate in IRAQ and US related events between Nov. 17-20 by addressing critical issues at critical times through your talents, insights, and questions.
