German studies sees renewal of applicants

By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

For the time being at least, the graduate program for the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature is likely out of the woods.

The German studies program has received 15 applications—more than three times the number received last year when administrators questioned the viability of a doctoral program that had attracted only four new students since the year 2000

attributed this year’s jump in ap- Ingeborg plications to a massive advertising campaign that included a new and widely distributed brochure and closer collaboration with sister schools such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“We’re really focusing on advertising and publicity, and word is starting to get out about our program now that we finally have some graduates in academic jobs,” said Ingeborg Walther, chair of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature.

Director of Graduate Stud-

ies James Rolleston said that

having more applications this year is a great relief to the program, which fielded administrative threats of being cut back after receiving only four applications last year.

“It’s been something of a crisis year for us,” Rolleston explained. “We think we’re through the crisis, but we can’t be sure.”

Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel said he was confident the program is stable for now. “German [studies! should be able to take in a class,” Siegel explained. “They were in the double digits, which was the reWalther quirement.”

Rolleston said the program drew more applications this year also in part because the department made strong efforts to form more personal connections with prospective students.

“We actually brought some UNC people to campus as part of our effort to get in

touch with other institutions and bring in promising seniors,” Rolleston said, adding that the program connected with other North Carolina students through colleagues See GERMAN on page 7

Nurkin wins young trustee

By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

After three weeks of applications and interviews, the results are in. Out of three finalists, senior Andrew Nurkin was selected as the newest young trustee at a Duke Student Government general body meeting Wednesday night.

Nurkin, an English major with a history minor, will initiate his three-year term in July.

“There was no wrong choice here, and it was probably easier to be at the front ofthe room than to be sitting in the legislature,” Nurkin said.

Seniors Brady Beecham and Jesse Panuccio, also finalists, both congratulated Nurkin on his selection and expressed confidence in his ability.

Before DSG legislators and members of the Intercommunity Council made their decisions, the three candidates each spoke for 15 minutes and

answered questions.

“Fm running for young trustee for a pretty simple reason, and that’s because I love Duke,” Nurkin told legislators and ICC members.

Over the three-year term he will serve on the Board, the Atlanta native said he plans to focus on the physical development of the campus “according to the wants and needs of faculty and students... and the completion of buildings without disrupting student life.”

Nurkin added that he hopes to enhance the academic program through a more cohesive advising system and

Heated arguments arise at Israeli divestment forum

By CHARLES LIN The Chronicle

A teach-in and discussion designed to initiate the DukeDivest campaign sparked into a fiery debate last night at the Love Auditorium as audience members shot back and forth with panelists over the issue of Israeli divestment.

Nine faculty members mostly from humanities departments comprised the panel, which was organized by the DukeDivest group. Members gave individual reasons—ranging from personal experience to intrinsic, moral beliefs—for signing a petition calling for the University to cut ties with companies involved in arms

Others built their justification out of personal experience. Mekhala Natavar, assistant professor of the practice of Asian and African languages and literature, recounted an emotional story of her father’s last years in the West Bank town of Ramallah.

“I am appalled by the blatant inhumane treatment of the Palestinian people by the Israeli forces,” she said.

Associate Professor of English Srinivas Aravamudan emphasized the importance of a politically active stance at the University. “We’re no longer in the ivory tower,” he said. “We’re very much in the belly of the beast. And for that reason we should make our university accountable.”

After the panelists had concluded speaking, the intensity of the event rose significantly. Audience members actively engaged the panel, disregarding requests See DIVESTMENT on page 6

U.S. allies favor granting Iraq time Eight Security Council representatives speak in support of continued inspections

By EDITH LEDERER and DAFNA LINZER The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS The United States failed to convince key allies on the Security Council that time has run out for Iraq to cooperate with weapons inspections, as a ma-

jority of council members Wednesday

called for peaceful disarmament and diplomacy.

Of the countries that spoke at a crucial council meeting, eight supported giving more time to the inspectors to pursue Iraq’s peaceful disarmament—Russia, China, GerChile, Guinea, many, Mexico, Cameroon and Syria, council diplomats said. Only Bulgaria and Spain

focused more on demands on Iraq than on continued inspections.

Britain remained squarely in Washington’s camp. , “There are members of the council who are asking for time, but it isn’t a matter of time. It’s a matter of whether Iraq realizes that the game is up, or whether it is trying to keep the inspectors at bay,” British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock said during a break in the daylong session.

U.S. diplomats had hoped Wednesday’s council meeting would signal

increased international support for military action in Iraq. But neither the largely negative reports from weapons inspectors this week nor President George W. Bush’s argu-

merits in the State of the Union altered the positions of some ofAmerica’s key allies, including France.

“The majority of the council thinks we should continue inspections,” said French Ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sabliere. “This is what they think today, and I think it is important to say so.”

Still, U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte warned that the “diplomatic window is closing,” for the council and “the time for decision-making is fast approaching.”

An explosion followed by a raging KINSTON, N.C. fire demolished a plastics factory Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring at least 37. Three others were feared missing in the burning ruins, which sent a black, acrid smoke billowing over the countryside.

There were conflicting reports on the number ofcasualties, but Gov. Mike Easley and Mayor Johnnie Mosley later said two deaths had been confirmed. The mayor also said three people were unaccounted for.

Plant manager Thomas Clagon appealed to workers to check in to help figure out who was still missing.

The cause of the thunderous blast at the West Pharmaceutical Services plant was not immediately known.

The factory, which made syringe plungers and IV sup-

plies, was cited for numerous safety violations last fall.

Workers who escaped the fireball and the choking smoke said they thought the factory was under a terrorist attack.

The first emergency crews on the scene said they repeatedly rescued workers who were dangling from steel beams. Many had third-degree bums.

The Red Cross said at least 37 people were injured, some of them critically.

The blast was felt for miles and the building was still burning seven hours later, with the smoke punctuated by exploding fireballs. Nearby trees and brush were aflame.

Emergency officials urged residents within a mile of the plant to evacuate because of the smoke, which included fumes from burning plastic from two 800-foot water towers flying through the air.

Colloquium focuses on AAS program Recruitment

for NPHC groups begins

By lAN CROUCH The Chronicle

Signaling the latest step in what some hope will result in an Asian American studies program at the University, three national scholars examined the field’s place in academia and its potential at Duke at a colloquium Wednesday.

The colloquium, titled “Transforming the Academy: Asian American Studies,” was part of an initiative that began last year to explore the development of an AAS program. The initiative also includes funding for courses and a research center, and speakers had both praise and

criticism for the administration’s efforts thus far.

The forum was sponsored by Trinity College, the Asian American Studies Working Group and the Asian American Studies Task Force, and featured Evelyn Hu-DeHart from Brown University, Gary Okihiro from Columbia University and Stephen Sumida from the University of Washington.

Introducing the evening’s speakers, Dean ofTrinity College Robert Thompson made specific references to the work of students in bringing the need of an AAS program to the administration’s attention. He also touted the administration’s own efforts to build an AAS program as part of the University’s emphasis on diversity and cross-cultural awareness.

“With our history of segregation, we have a particular responsibility in this regard,” Thompson said.

One speaker—Hu-DeHart, who teaches history at Brown—countered Thompson’s introduction, criticizing the lack of administrative interest in AAS in the

past at Duke.

“I know of no other field in which students have to take things into their own hands,” she said, referring to the student initiative that sparked University action.

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

EVELYN HU-DeHART, left, and Gary Okihiro, two Asian-American scholars from other major universities, discuss the place of Asian American studies at the University at a colloquium Wednesday night.

Hu-DeHart was also critical of the 30 percent undergraduate diversity figures that Thompson cited in his remarks. She called for a deeper investigation of the

figures, noting that Asian-American students are a highly visible group on college campuses, yet underrepresented in the curriculum.

In addition, Hu-DeHart stressed the importance ofAAS programs, which she said can apply to other contemporary fields including race discourse and comparative ethnic studies.

Okihiro, who directs the AAS program at Columbia, said AAS had been his passion for more than three decades. He spent much of his presentation defending its academic merit.

“Asian American studies is still marginal to other fields of study,” he said.

Okihiro noted weaknesses in the program nationally, but pointed to racial

and cultural issues in America as underlying the lack of acceptance for AAS. Sumida, a professor of literature at

Washington, similarly called for a new understanding ofAmerican culture in academia. “There is no alien culture in America,” Sumida said, “We have to change the definition of American culture He stressed the difference between Asian studies—focusing on the Asian continent—and Asian American studies.

The colloquium began with a welcoming speech by junior Nancy Lee and sophomore Stephanie Liu, members of the Asian American Studies Working ”

Group and the Asian American Studies Task Force. These groups have worked .since April to develop an AAS program at the University. Although their work has

been highlighted by the inclusion of four AAS courses, Liu noted the absence of a full AAS curriculum.

The recruitment processes for National Panhellenic Council organizations are well underway, even if they are not as conspicuous as rush events for other campus greek groups.

Many if not all of the eight chartered NPHC fraternities and sororities with chapters on campus began their recruitment, or intake, of new members earlier this month. This recruitment season is the first with the NPHC under advising from the relatively new Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, and although much of the NPHC groups’ intake remains under wraps, officials say the process is continuing as usual.

Since NPHC does not set rules for intake, each fraternity and sorority has great autonomy over its recruitment process.

“NPHC groups [conduct intake] at whatever time they feel that they’re ready and want and need to take in new members,” said Todd Adams, OFSL director. “We have a couple of groups that are in the process of soliciting or looking for new members. They will hopefully be extending their membership in the next few months of this semester.”

NPHC leaders declined to comment on which groups are currently conducting intake, but two NPHC fraternities, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., often recruit freshmen during the spring semester.

Burig outlines minor changes to housing policy

By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

Administrators hope to remedy last year’s snafus in the housing policy—which relegated some juniors to Edens Quadrangle as sophomores basked in their singles on Main West—with some minor but significant changes.

Assistant Dean of Residence Life Bill Burig spoke to Campus Council last week to present the 2003-2004 housing proposal, which gives seniors who have not lived on West the highest housing priority. Although the new plan keeps much of the old intact—including rooms on West for all rising sophomores and the same links between freshman dormitories and West Campus quads—singles will not be reserved for sophomores, and students will receive a higher housing number if they request to return to the same quad.

Burig said he wanted to make housing assignments less painful for students by increasing their chances of living in the same place. ‘We want very much for students to land someplace and be able to stay there and not have to worry about having every year to pick up and potentially move somewhere else,” he said.

It is now up to Campus Council to approve the changes and cement them into policy.

“Campus Council will respond to those changes and come up with a list of strategic long-term initiatives,” said senior Andrew Nurkin, president of Campus Council.

Burig said he consulted Campus Council and Duke Student Government earlier to hear their input on the housing system, particularly the issue of seniority.

Playing the lottery

become unavailable to rising seniors to allow rising juniors and sophomores to fulfill the requirement, he said he will remain firm about implementing the policy.

The Class of 2005 “is the very first class that has ever been on West Campus as an entire class,” Burig said. “So we’re not going to be flexible.”

Last year’s housing policy caused an uproar among many upperclassmen who did not get singles on West while sophomores did. Burig ascribed that

outcome to the decision to separate

room picks by the size of the room.

“It was the order in which things were selected that caused the problem. Singles were picked first, then triple rooms,

The success or failure oflinked housing is yet to be determined, as administrators said they are giving the new system one more year to prove itself.

“We don’t feel that a one-year process is enough to really make a good assessment in terms of whether or not linked housing is something that should stay or go,” Burig said. “We don’t feel like we’ve properly given it enough time to say if it’s successful or not successful.”

Director of Residence Life and Student Housing Eddie Hull, who was hired earlier this year, said he will investigate

the housing process without settling for the current procedure if problems arise.

Additionally, the new housing plan

will force students to live on campus for three consecutive years. In the past,

many students successfully petitioned to move off campus when returning to the University after studying abroad. Instead, starting with the Class of 2005, all students will need to live on campus for three consecutive years to fill vacant beds and to maintain community cohesion.

Even though Burig admitted that housing assignments might potentially

then double rooms,” Burig said. “So this year... everything is on the table. It’s in a straight number lottery order, and lottery is obviously by seniority.”

The announcement of next year’s system was generally well received among the student body, especially when they heard that seniors are gaining housing priority over other students.

“It’s really good that they are allowing for the fact that a lot of juniors have never gotten the opportunity to live on Main West,” junior Rebecca Kristol said.

Amelia Hairston-Porter, a sophomore who received a single during housing picks last year, said she thought upperclassmen deserve the singles on West.

“I think the policy is fair now. I know if I were an upperclassman, I wouldn’t have been too happy about the policy,” Hairston-Porter said. “I figured I would try for [a single] and see if one was available. It was just kind of a gamble.”

NURKIN from page 1 cent of the student body is involved in a group outside of class where they need space,” he said, recalling his own

difficulties in finding space as president of Campus Council.

Senior Troy Clair, DSG vice president for student affairs, asked each candidate to name one issue on which they would not compromise if selected as young trustee. Nurkin promised not to neglect the current student body while fulfilling the University’s future plans. “My most distinguishing character is my willingness to speak up for the students who are here n0w,... This is the only four years you

get,” Nurkin said.

Panuccio named academic standards as one issue on which he would not bend. “I would not support any agenda item that would diminish the academic quality of this school,” he said.

Student involvement in administra-

tive decisions was Beecham’s answer.

“One change I’ve seen... is that students are being left out of decisions made by administrators... wherein stu-

dent opinions are given by limited av-

enues,” she said.

Overall, the finalists thought the questions asked of them were fair.

“There were some questions on divestment that I was surprised by, but that’s news on campus, so I guess that’s fair game for young trustee,” Beecham said, referring to specific questions that some legislators asked regarding the University’s divestment

of funds from Israel.

Panuccio agreed. “I thought the question on Israel was to pull something out of today’s paper,” he said.

Although undecided as to his future plans after graduation this spring, Nurkin is looking forward to his new position. “This is such an honor,” the new young trustee said, smiling. “I’m excited to fulfill the responsibility that’s been given to me.”

NPHC from page 3 “Sororities do mimic the [fraternity] process, but

they have their own rituals and procedures,” said senior Cyril Broderick, historian of Duke NPHC and polmarch—or president—of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Groups generally raise awareness of their organizations through flyers or information meetings at the beginning of either the fall or spring semester.

Once non-members show interest, they complete a two- or three-month process before joining. Some recruits may be interviewed, asked to fill out an application or complete a test on their knowledge of the group’s history.

Once each NPHC fraternity or sorority selects its new line, the groups present their new members at a

DIVESTMENT.ro. page 1 for calm by the moderators, and at points made irreverent remarks and disrupted panelists as well as each other.

A contingent of pro-Israelis in the audience were particularly vocal, booing between panelists’ speeches and firing a slew of directed comments during the question-and-answer session. Most were angry at what they called the presentation of only “one of many histories and one of many views,” among other things.

“Panelists should represent a pluralistic viewpoint, especially on a campus where the goal is not to push an agenda but to expose people to many opinions,” Miguel Schwartz, a graduate student in ecology, said after the meeting.

Professor of Literature Kenneth Surin countered this notion during the event. “This is partially a forum. It is also the initiation of a campaign,” he said.

After the event, participants expressed mixed feelings about the forum.

“By focusing exclusively on Israel, this campaign ignores the multiple narratives and complex geopolitics ofthe Middle East,” said Elliot Ludvig, a graduate student in psychology.

Panelists and event organizers, however, had a more hopeful outlook on the discourse. “I’m grateful that people with different views came here,... We need to have follow-up discussions for something

like this to be substantial,” Professor of Religion Bruce Lawrence said.

DukeDivest is already planning for the future. “We will continue to do educational events, host forums and dialogue and circulate our petition,” said junior Jessica Rutter, a forum organizer.

The panel also included Associate Professor of Literature Michael Hardt, Assistant Professor of English Ranjana Khanna, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology Diane Nelson, and Associate Professor of Slavic Languages and Literature Jehanne Gheith. So far, more than 40 faculty have signed the DukeDivest petition at www.dukedivest.org.

“Each of us [the umbrella greek organizations] are going to do our own thing, but it’s beneficial to recognize that other groups are there, to respect other groups and get to know each other,” said Maye, a senior.

Greek leaders are planning a forum at which all groups can learn about each others’ histories. In addition, in the next couple of months, the OFSL will introduce new websites for each ofthe three umbrella or-

The announcement of a new line often occurs only a day or two before the presentation, and, since potential members traditionally do not talk about their recruitment, the revelation of the members can be a surprise to non-members.

Each new line of members of an NPHC group contains between about one and eight members. Few organizations recruit every semester, and most recruit simply when others show interest in joining their group.

GERMAN from page 1 at Davidson College and UNC at Charlotte. “We’re never quite sure how people hear about us, but I think our personal connections have had something of a ripple effect.”

Rolleston added that the program has made specific connections with students outside North Carolina as well, bringing in applications from as far away as New Orleans and Sweden.

A number of German studies faculty members attributed the small size oflast year’s applicant pool to bad publicity from the administration of the Graduate School.

“What really hurt us last year is the negative publicity we got based on several things Dean Siegel said about the program not being viable,” Walther said. “As far as I can see, the dean measures viability in terms only of how many people apply.”

Leigh DeNeef, associate dean of the Graduate School, countered this accusation, pointing out that

LEAPS

questions of the program’s viability did not emerge until last year, and therefore had no effect on recently diminishing applicant pools. Also, David Hughes, one of last year’s four applicants to the German Studies program, said he did not come across any negative publicity regarding the program when he applied.

“I had no questions about the program’s viability last year,” Hughes said. “But any kind of negative publicity would have been a legitimate concern. It’s a great shame things like this have to be reduced to numbers and figures and bureaucracy because the interdisciplinary aspect of the program is an extremely valuable resource, not just for Germanists but right across the University.”

Walther noted that a recent external review ofthe program was very positive—a sign, she said, that the program was not only viable but a model for German studies programs across the country.

“We’re trying to make the case that ours is a small program, a new program, an interdisciplinary program for everyone,” Walther said. “We’re trying to do something really innovative, so of course we’ll have a

smaller applicant pool than at established universities like Harvard and Yale.”

However, even German studies programs more established than Duke’s—which has only been around since 1992—were not impervious to what Associate Professor of English Thomas Pfau called a “shrinking interest in German studies as a reflex of the American school system that does not emphasize foreign language programs.” Pfau also teaches in the German studies program.

Hughes, who applied to other top universities like Harvard and Stanford last year, affirmed that universities were suffering from small applicant pools all around. He added that the “German recession” is occurring worldwide, including in his native England.

Hughes said he was not surprised that there were more applications this year. “It’s only right and proper that Duke should have a larger applicant pool than what it was getting because in my view this is the best program in the world,” he said. “The originally small pool owes only to historical circumstances that were taking a toll everywhere.”

sitions. A student in the class can always talk to someone else besides me.”

The story of LEAPS began in 1996 with two Duke juniors who had experienced service learning during high school. Upset that the University did not offer such an opportunity, they met with Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe and discovered a faculty member in the religion department who was willing to run a service learning course.

“Together, [the students] developed a process where students met with peers to reflect on their service experiences,” said Betsy Alden, service learning coordinator at Kenan. “They quickly saw the potential for such a program because of the enthusiastic response.”

Since its inception, LEAPS has undergone many changes, quickly swelling in size as Duke faculty and students have responded eagerly to participating in a curriculum that actively advocates community service as a part of the learning experience.

LEAPS’ rapid growth propelled leaders to evaluate and restructure the program last semester. Major changes call for a reduction in the number of courses that are LEAPS-facilitated, as well as more forceful implementation of the house course in service-learning, run by co-facilitators freshman Catherine Cullen and Paul.

“The house course is now required for all students who plan on becoming LEAPS facilitators,” Paul said.

“We want to make sure they have the right skills and enough skills to facilitate a reflection session. They are responsible for creating a good learning experience for other students.”

Currently, there are six students taking the house course, making the atmosphere a relaxed and intimate one. After several rounds of the M&M affair, everyone partakes in discussion, debating over political stigmas that may be attached to community service and the plethora of different volunteer opportunities that are available to Duke students.

“Service goes beyond soup kitchens and homeless shelters,” argued senior Arit Amana, in one such debate. “You just have to search for the right kind of op-

portunity.”

Through it all—the educational benefits, the experience of interacting and getting to know others, the rewards of kind deeds—the primary source of motivation to do service may be the simplest of philosophies: “It makes you happy” Paul said. “It makes others happy.”

The most likely scenario would be a resolution declaring that Iraq has failed to cooperate actively with inspectors and setting a relatively short deadline for Baghdad to meet certain steps, the diplomats said.

Bush said in his State of the Union address that he would use the “full force and might of the U.S. military” if needed to disarm Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

Doing weird stuff with dogs since 1998...

If you found there to be nothing particularly interesting about yesterday's episode of As the World Turns, you weren't alone.

But oh, how unperceptive you must've been! On just another sleepy Wednesday morn, Bailey Chase, Trinity '95, made his debut as "Chris Hughes," the long-running soap opera’s newest character. Hughes will appear on the show three or four days a week and Is incredibly hot. Super-stodgy Chronicle Editor and closet soap freak Dave Ingram spoke with Chase earlier this week.

Recess: What did you do at Duke to prepare for acting?

Bailey Chase: Not much. I was pretty allconsumed in terms of the things I did with football and class. I was also in a fraternity, and I did a lot of work in the Children's Hospital. Just walking into the room with these kids, they would light up and it would also be lift for me.

Where do you plan to go from here? Will you follow in the footsteps of former ATWT actress Lauryn Hill?

[Laughter] First of all, I can't sing and I can't dance, so Broadway isn't looking too good.

[Note: Lauryn Hill is in no way affiliated with Broadway.] When I originally got into the business I dreamt of doing films. That may or not be in the cards. I just signed a three-year contract, so I guess I'll be here for a while.

Your character is described as an "impetuous medical student." Would you want someone operating on you who's known as "impetuous?"

[More laughter] Probably not. Chris is an intern, so I don't know how serious of med-

ical operations he'd be doing at this point.

They don't have any written in yet, but if I had choice I'd want the chief of staff.

Your character is a whistleblower: He will be investigating the "Snyder bam fire" earning him "the disapproval of his superiors at the hospital." Are you up to the challenge?

[Note: heavy cliche usage ahead.] Chris acts before he thinks, and in a lot of ways that's admirable. He wears his heart on his sleeve, a" that runs him into troi with the powers that He lets the chips fall where they may.

Soap operas tend have kind of a cult following. Are you doing anything to prepare yourself?

Maceo Blows His Wav into Duk

Stevie Wonder once said, "If Maceo is not on the groove, then the groove is not on." If he's right, the audience in Page Auditorium Friday night will be on the groove, as jazz/funk legend Maceo Parker takes the stage along with his son's group, the Corey Parker Band.

A respected presence in the music world for over 30 years, Maceo has come into his own over the past decade, having jumpstarted a successful solo career as well as collaborating with varied artists including Ani Difranco, Jane's Addiction and Prince. Since picking up the saxophone at the age of 8, this Kinston,

North Carolina, native has been cultivating a sound that is, as he puts it, "2% jazz, 98% funky stuff."

Parker spent nearly 20 years playing backup for James Brown and left the band for good after Brown's incarceration in 1988. Lucky for jazz fans everywhere, Maceo embarked on a solo career, and now has several hit records under his belt. It was 1992's Life on Planet Groove that introduced his sound to a wider following—including a broad college audience. Constantly on tour, Maceo has earned a reputation for treating each live show as a wild party. Aficionados of funk music and new

Macy Parker would like to add that her name is oddly similar to Maceo Parker's.

That is all.

Smooth Sailin' London DJ-pack Groove Armada has made the "chill" sound as much a science as an art. In their latest album, Lovebox, the group continues to innovate while still retaining the compelling bass, rhythm and guitar licks that typified their work from Vertigo to Hello Nightclub.

A pleasantly adulterated rendition of Hendrix classic "Purple Haze" kicks the album off. Though GRADE: hard to recognize without help from the liner notes, the track is a welcome departure from traditional electronic rapings of classic tunes, e.g. Paul Oakenfold's "remix" of U2's "New Year's Day." During the album's halftime, "Final Shakedown," we are privy to the professions of a large bass-heavy man on how much he wants to get high. Really high. Like, whoa. Yet for some reason, the track resounds as one of Lovebox s strongest.

Listening to Lovebox without prior exposure to the Armada will leave you wondering how many bands are on the disc. From track to track, the album jumps from groove to funk to rock to ballad to house and all the way back to groove. An eclectic album, as far as the London music scene is concerned, Lovebox, taken as a whole, is musical ear-chocolate. The groove's the tin wrapper, the beats are the chocolate, the rock's the nougat and the funk's the prized almond in the middle.

So next time you bring a girl or guy back to your room after an enchanted evening, and you're pretty sure DMB's sex-classic "Say Goodbye" will get yourself slapped in the face, pop this aural Toblerone into the HiFi. You'll either end the evening laid, stoned, pumped up or ready to fight someone. Any way you look at it, you win.

To n

in tonight? Catching up on some quality trash TV? You're not alone. Thank Chuck Barris, the mind behind The Gong Show, The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game—those campy 60s and 70s primetime hits considered precursors to modern reality TV shows. Think Joe Millionaire and American Idol ; they were the fun, but tacky big-network cash cows that Americans loved to hate. Barris was a pop-culture icon credited with revolutionizing network television, putting the boob in the tube and the idiot in the box. In his 1984 autobiography, Barris also claimed to have led a secret life as a CIA hit man, using his television persona as a front. His life story is the premise for George Clooney's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Barris (Sam Rockwell) stalks pretty girls and chews with his mouth open. He's a graceless, avykward little guy who never does things quite right, gets lucky in spite of himself, but always manages to fumble. Enter George Clooney, CIA

operative, with an offer too good to refuse—and probably too good to be true. Confessions never directly questions the validity of Barris' story, but nourishes a cinematic alter ego that's conspicuously out of sync with the rest of his life. His CIA shots are stylistically surreal and deliberately vague, almost as though—and here's the key they represent what a dorky little guy like Barris, having seen one too many late-night B-list espionage thrillers, imagines government work to be.

George Clooney is the quintessential government top cop with a deadpan monotone and all the answers. Julia Roberts is a Bond-girl conglomerate of indeterminate purpose. There are missions; there are targets, and no one seems to really know what's going on —least of all, Barris. He doesn't know how to hold a gun. It's great.

—

But why? It's High Fidelity's John Cusack meets Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Man awakens desire for a creative legacy, said creation spins out of control. Barris didn't set out to be

7ii,v

Tunc 9 the king of trash TV, and I think he created the CIA story for himself, not for an audience, to balance the cheap publicity of his television persona with a darker heroism.

He's a common man of uncommon ambition, who only manages to distinguish himself by glorifying things common and mundane. Barris's CIA alter ego isn't intended to be a cold-blooded contract killer, but a thankless servant of the country whose audience tarnished his dream. "I dispose of people," he says, "and 1 am disposable." Barris is two men—the visionary he thought himself to be and the man he's become —divided by the warped progeny of an imagination betrayed.

Confessions defies the one sentence wrap-up: the film's too slick to have an obvious point. But if one person walks out of that theater intrigued, confused and a little bit bored—maybe wishing he'd gone to see The Hot Chick instead—I think Barris is finally having a well-deserved last laugh.

A Nocturne

Detached

While it may seem impossible to turn an 800page Charles Dickens novel into a film of reasonable length without doing it a great injustice, writer/director Douglas McGrath succeeds admirably with Nicholas Nickleby.

The story revolves around the journey toward justice of 19-year-old Nicholas Nickleby (Charlie Hunman), who has recently lost his father.

Along with his mother and sister, he seeks aid from his uncle Ralph (Christopher GRADE: Plummer). Plummer offers a seamless rendition of the malicious Ralph, and his devilish performance is complemented masterfully by Jim Broadbent's own as Wackford Squeers—the sadistic, one-eyed and absolutely horrifying director of the boarding school where Nickleby works.

Ensconced in a helpless situation, Nickleby seems downright overmatched. It's a good thing, however, that he receives a little help from his friends —token bright characters introduced into the mix to balance the evil.

What ensues is an emotional rollercoaster created by the quick scene-changes and McGrath's insightful juxtaposition of good and evil. While one is oftentimes befuddled by what had just occurred in the 19th century London setting, all

The hardest thing in the world is just to say something. Because when we try to, meaning is thrown in, as is morality; some sort of glint or twinge that evokes a purpose. What good was there in saying "that" and what sort of meaningful addition did "this" bring to our life? But there are certain things that to do any rightful justice to, it can only be said and nothing more. And for The Pianist, Roman Polanski absorbed this notion fully.

This is life, drawn out from memory onto the

screen. White you can sing praises day and night for Polanski's brilliant vision and his genius as a director to bring all this —this brutal tattered display of a man caught in the chaotic raping of Warsaw—to realization in perfect detail, you won't. For in doing so you remind yourself that this was a movie again; You know, two and a half hours of celluloid pulp that when fully digested will leave a warm fuzzy aftertaste and a slight Oscarish burp.

What Polanski created looks just like the images of history, and the characters portrayed in The Pianist resemble the flickering nameless faces in old movie reels. All of them, they're nobodies

dredged from the past. You can hardly call Adrien Brodie's Szpilman the leading character because he didn't do anything save survive; it's as if a camera followed him around for five years with interjections of music and editing. Coming to the end of the ordeal, Szpilman has fallen even from redemption. He's become a ghost looking down at mad desperation and mayhem, seeking only survival of body. It's nothing but pitiful watching him drink out of some latrine bucket in desperate need of water and seeing him

coddle a can of cucumbers as if it were his savior and babe all at once. What little hope one can eke out from his survival by luck is muted by a raging feeling of injustice, provoked by scenes of disgust when Szpilman, having the chance to help, just walked on.

Don't see this film looking for a story. See it to remind yourself of the darkness that passes so easily through the eyes of man. Because as a story, there's no meaning in it, no hope or salvation, just a plot of horrific detail seen through a broken window pane by the eyes of a man a nocturne detached from sympathy, reduced to a single grain of sand smashed through the revolting cogs of the machine of war.

Cncc Xtpm a "Art flick culture has long been in the hands of Hollywood, and the trendy "art" movies often showcase big stars and large budgets.

Enter The B-movie—untouched by the hand (and money) of Hollywood.

The art of the B-movie lies in the minimalist techniques: donated film, dubbed sound, very un-professional acting. However, the true wonder comes from the ingenuity of such techniques.

The expensive luxury of sound (no joke) Is often side-stepped for a reliance upon the true soul of film: visualization. The simple camera shots are lar unaltered, remaining true to their subj and oftentimes providing a deep reali that showcases the true protoplasmi ing of the characters.

If you remain open-minded, you c. in the "roots" of film-making and enjoy the gems of these forgotten genres.

I have to spend my entire weekend watching hours of this crap?

Here's my recap of the festival, and in case you're interested, most of these films can be rented at the local Blockbuster: Jesus Christ: Vampire Slayer Advertising tagline? "The first testament says "an eye for an eye." The second testament says "love thy neighbor." The third testament... Kick Ass!" Set in an unnamed Canadian city, this film stars the pierced, retro-dad, kung fu master Jesus Christ. Played by Phil Caracas, Jesus battles the dreaded kung-fu atheists and lesbian hunting vampires while screaming the sacred psalm—"May the power of Christ impale you!"

Around 75 minutes long, it could have been completed in 15 minutes without losing a thing.

Did I really watch this? Yeah, and the whole audience, including me, is going to hell.

May I had been reading about this film on Internet "top ten lists"

Calendar for the last six months—and I didn't even know what it was Unless people don't enjoy plots set within the special effects of good cheap horror, this film should be getting national attention. Angela Bettis is a name to remember—her performace is remarkable and utterly Oscar-worthy.

I on't know if this is the result of me peyote-induced binge, but the :e of the characters' heads occaially superimposed on that of clayon bodies made me woozy. Oh and it's a musical too (song, , and tap)—a diarrhea of nonsense oss-cultural misunderstandings, an experience.

Digging r Digging defines the message and purpose of the Nevermore festival. Shot by J.T. Petty—a New York University film student—using donated film and a budget of $6,000, this semisilent film is truly scary and disturbing: something Hollywood directors have been unable to do.

Donnie Darko Most of us missed this film when it premiered two years ago.

However, a theater filled to the brim during the Super Bowl can attest to the power of Donnie Darko—that it is becoming one of the greatest cult films of the last decade.

Resurrecting the brilliant world of Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone, Darko offers the story of a misunderstood suburban teenager with visions of the apocalypse. At the hands of first-time director Richard Kelly, Jake Gyllenhaal (Darko) is simply amazing. He allows you to look into the soul of his character, and amongst the impossible, I saw something so real, so moving, so incredibly weird and original—it can't be put into words.

I had never left a movie feeling quite the way I did that day.

Get

your Red Bull ready: It's time to stay up way past your bedtime.

Sure, you could be pulling an all-nighter at the library, but now it's time to party. Spring brings the best bashes, and your only excuse for going to bed early is if someone's in there with you. So wriggle into your favorite jeans and grab your fake 1.D.; It's time to boldly go where the Recess crew has gone many, many times before —all along the Duke party scene. So check your closets, your liquor cabinets and your friends' away messages—here's the run-down of where to see the sunrise every Saturday: The Section Party The Where : Get off the back of the bus and follow the faint sounds of "Baby Got Back" along with the droves of lemmings otherwise known as freshmen. Odds are in your favor that you'll find yourself in Craven, Kilgo or with more than a few people in Few. The Wear. Bitch pants if you're trying, jeans if you just wanna have fun, and if you look around the room, you'll realize why Steve Madden and those guys from New Balance are very rich men. Still totally stuck? Catch five min-

utes of Dawson's Creek or five pages of the new J. Crew catalogue and you should be fine. Bonus points to girls whose skin-toskirt ratio is 2:1.

The Usual Suspects : Shaggy boys, sometimes shagging.

Overheard. "Oh, we don't always drink beer Sometimes we drink lite beer."

Don't be a party pooper. Section parties are low-key and honestly, lots of fun (as long as you're not a bored senior). Bring your friends for optimum dance-floor damage.

The Off-East Frat House The Where : East Campus Student Ghetto hop the wall and run for it.

The Wear. Jeans with heels, jeans with flipflops, jeans with boots, jeans with Sauconys....

The Usual Suspects: That cute guy who slipped you an invite in Chem class, the girls whose screen-names' you stalk but never have the nerve to call, and all of their Onslow Street neighbors, too.

Overheard: "Can we use your room? We'll only be two seconds...."

Don't be a party pooper. Like a section party without the campus rules, these places are great for seeing your friends, your crushes and people who play Beirut with even less skill than you do. Get a carpool and buy your designated driver dinner.

RECESSA^PS

Dev Manbites ils Symbiotic

relationships seem to occur as much in art as they do in science—-take it from Visiting Lecturer of Theater Studies Jay O'Berski, who notes the give and take between Duke's drama community and Manbites Dog Theater, a professional non-profit Durham theater that often uses Duke students and faculty members in its shows. "We give them incredible students, and they provide a great place to perform," O'Berski said Tonight, Manbites Dog begins a threeweek run of Neil Laßute's The Shape of Things, directed by O'Berski and with two Duke students in front of the curtain and one behind. Graduate student Susan Walsh works as stage manager while juniors Danny Smith and Meghan Valerio, who is also co-editor of Recess' Arts section, work on stage in Shape's twisted love story, featuring a 20-something engaged couple. This is the first time any of the three has worked for a professional theater company; although, all have done extensive work with on-campus theater. They hope their professional debuts with Manbites Dog lead to more gigs in the future.

While the talent on campus is hard to ignore, O'Berski recognizes that Duke is not "an arts school." Most students, he said, perform on the side. His own desire to start a theater company brought him to Durham 10 years ago, where he was cast in plays at Manbites Dog and was eventually allowed to direct before creating his own company, Shakespeare & Originals. At Duke, he teaches "Intro to Performance" for non-theater majors, and he still doesn't understand why people say it's so hard to make it in acting; "Do they

think being a doctor or being a lawyer is any easier?" he asked.

Junior Danny Smith entered Duke as a pre-med student who had always dreamed of becoming a doctor, but last semester, he redeclared as a theater studies major. Smith had performed in on-campus shows including The Changeling, Our Country's Good and Macbeth before being invited to audition for O'Bersksi last October.

A busy fourth-year molecular cancer biology graduate student, stage manager Susan Walsh was hired after sending Manbites Dog an e-mail asking if they needed help. Walsh commented that the Manbites show is focused more on acting, rather than stage design and costumes, unlike the non-professional campus productions she has worked with Duke's Hoof 'n' Horn and Wendell Theater. All the participants note the great difference in preparation time for a professional versus on-campus production since The Shape of Things rehearsed for only a month before opening night.

Manbites gives more than an opportunity to perform. All actors are paid employees, and one of Manbites' biggest casting pools for late-teen, early 20-something roles lies in the Gothic Wonderland.Duke-affiliated cast members, many of whom met on the set rather than at Duke, said they feed off each other's ability and experience. "Manbites Dog is a great training ground. We're trying to find talent and not kid them about it," O'Berski said.

A TIMES WAR

Presented as part of the ongoing series

of events on the theme "The Arts in Times of War," coordinated by the Duke Institute of the Arts, and sponsored by the Institute of the Arts with support from the Mary Duke Biddle foundation, the

franklin Humanities Institute's "Making the Humanities Central" project, and the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary

Studies.

Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31, 2003 7:00 pm. Sheafer Lab Theater, Bryan Center FREE ADMISSION This moving multimedia performance by Paul Berliner, professor of music at Northwestern University and visiting Fellow in the John Hope Franklin Center for International and Interdisciplinary Studies during 2002-2003, integrates the voices of musicians and their families, audio and video recordings, film footage, and Berliner's own chronicle and musical performance. It is a compelling story of resistance, regime change, and the human effects of war.

Ctesry Clreklr*'* Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's most famous works, such as The Seagull, Uncle Vanya and The Three Sisters, turned him into a 20th century critic's darling. But, for all the critics' praise he received, Chrekhov was troubled by the label "tragedist" because he considered his plays, which deal with loss, suicide and missed opportunities, to be comedies.

Sophomore Amit Mahtaney agrees: As a director in the upcoming Duke Players' offering of Chekhov one-acts this weekend, he aims to show Chekhov's humor with three short pieces;

On The Harmful Effects of Tobacco and The Bear, both by Chekhov, and The Audition, by Neil Simon. Mahtaney co-directs The Audition and The Bear with fellow sophomore Naomi Reagan and performs in On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco under the direction of freshman Sabrina Jawed.

“There's a feeling of being depressed associated with Chekhov," Mahtaney said, but the pieces "comment on the stuffy side of Chekhov with a twist of humor." The Bear is a one-act farce touching on the absurdity and whimsy of physical attraction, while The Audition features the disembodied voice of Chekhov auditioning a nervous young woman.

With a cast of stellar Duke stage regulars taking the stage tonight, perhaps Chekhov will provoke, rather than the usual misty eyes and postshow soul-searching, a round of raucous laughter.

lii Fact, Nat a Small Bowl If

you've ever been to Asia, the "night-market" shopping experience is one that you must not miss. For a little over $3, you can choose from an eclectic selection of T-shirts with misspelled brand names like "PKNY" "Cap" "Channel" and many more For some strange reason my desire to return to these markets resurfaced as I sat in the Big Bowl Asian Kitchen. The uniforms that the waitresses were wearing with the words "Big Bowl" directly translated into Chinese characters boldly printed across their back reminded me of those fake bargain T-shirts. Nontheless, the golden glow from the paper lanterns brought about a warm, albeit kitschy, ambience.

Our appetizer was steamed vegetable wontons with peanuts and Chinese greens stuffing served in a bamboo basket. Typically cooked in soup with shrimp-egg noodles, these wontons are wrapped in a thin piece of dough that resembles ravioli sheets. The zesty flavors of the ginger-plum sauce blended with the herbal and nutty wonton filling, and the abundance of sauce made the appetizer moist and succulent.

Party on, Mario 1 Nintendo somehow manages to come up with another way to waste your life

It's

a cold Saturday night. Snow falls on a windswept West Campus quad. You're out of booze and you smoked your last jay this afternoon It seems as though you are doomed to commit the ultimate college sin. Working on the weekend!

choose from a diverse list of characters that includes long-time favorites such as Mario and Luigi, as welt as those that only hardcore gaming addicts will recognize. With his selected persona, each player takes turns cruising around the board racking up coins and trying to grab stars. Each turn is punctuated with a mini-game that can come in three varieties: battle royale, three-on-one or twoon-two team battle. There is always the option of tackling a couple computer-controlled opponents, but the real magic happens when four humans pick up the controllers.

The formula is a success because Nintendo keeps it simple, cutting back on frivolous extras and allowing players to face off mano a mano. Mario Party IV is,great for all the reasons that Nintendo markets it to be great. It has an addictive quality that can't be captured in a word or phrase; it's something that has to be experienced with five other gamers and a case of beer at two in the morning on a Wednesday.

freshman it was Those year, friendly faces were love. always waiting for me —waiting, smiling, never judging. The orange ones look like Cheetos, bless 'em. And that's what freshman year was all about. Snood, I mean.

I've known electronic addictions. Back in the fifth grade I could make Oregon in four months fiat with three oxen, two spare wagon wheels and only a mild case of dysentery. Later there was Zelda. In high school, Goldeneye.

Snood was different. Cool video games are perfectly acceptable fixations. But among recreational addictions, Snood is the social equivalent of being hooked on cough syrup, or maybe eating Elmer's glue. I played over 11,000 games and got no respect. 1 would position my laptop away from disapproving eyes and keep Word documents open for quick cover. I deceived my friends. I led a double life. I was ashamed.

The problem solved itself when my laptop bailed; something about bubble gum in the A drive. To everything there is a season, turn-turnturning and so forth.

Wolfpack huffs, puffs, Blue Devils stand strong

By JOSH SILVERSTEIN

32 minutes into RALEIGH Wednesday night’s contest at Reynolds Coliseum, Duke led N.C. State 46-24.

The fans were rather bored, to say the least. Duke’s advantage came mostly from a wealth of lay-ups, particularly off the break. Both sides looked anemic from the perimeter.

As the immortal Woody Harrelson BM| uttered so profoundly in White Men Can’t Jump, “Why

N.C. State game, where the shots simply were not falling, the women’s basketball team compensated for its lowest scoring effort of the season by frustrating N.C. State with stifling man-to-man defense to the tune of a 54-44 win last night at Reynolds Coliseum. The victory was the Blue Devils’ 32nd-consecutive victory in conference play. The win also allowed Duke (20-0, 8-0 in the ACC) to match Virginia’s 1985-86 record of the best ever start by an ACC team.

The Blue Devils thwarted the Wolfpack’s offensive attack in the first half, holding N.C. State (9-10, 4-4) to

There was certainly no shortage of building material, that’s for sure. The two sides combined to miss 86 of their 113 shots, including 19-of- 21 from three-point range. There were also a collective 44 turnovers.

“It was probably one of the ugliest games ofbasketball, offensively, that I’ve seen in a long time,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Both teams really struggled.”

Iciss Tillis, two-time defending ACC player of the week, agreed.

“It’s kind of shocking because in practice we have been doing well offensively,” she said. “I was expecting us to have a good game, offensively. That was

just 11 points on dreadful 5-of-26 shooting. With Duke limiting the Wolfpack’s biggest offensive threat, junior forward Kaayla Chones, to just l-of-5 shooting in the first frame, the Blue Devils’ defensive game plan made it difficult for N.C. State to get any sort ofrhythm going on offense.

“The first half was one of our best halves of basketball,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought we did a really good job on Chones. I thought our rotations were good and I thought we played good personnel.”

The Wolfpack improved their shooting at the outset of the second half and found themselves within six points of Duke just five minutes into the act. But the Blue Devils then exploded on a dominating 18-2 run. The offensive outburst featured several nice scoring efforts from freshman point guard

The Blue Devils’ 22 turnovers looked particularly out of place. In their relentless desire to push the ball up the court, players passed with a little too much

No. 5 Blue Devils play host to unheralded Butler Tenacious Bulldog defense meets explosive Duke offense in Cameron Indoor Stadium

By TED MANN The Chronicle

In last Sunday’s Super Bowl, the dominant defense reigned supreme over the prolific offense. Duke hopes that this principle doesn’t apply to mens basketball, as its high-scoring offense hosts Butler and the stingy Bulldog defense tonight at 7 p.m. in

Cameron Indoor Stadium.

In the first ever matchup between the two teams, Duke’s offense—averaging an

Zach Maurides, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound lineman from Glenbrook South in Illinois, has opted for Duke over Eastern Illinois, Navy and Bowling Green. He sports a 5.3 40-yard dash.

NCAA-leading 87.2 points per game—will have to crack Butler’s defense, which allows a miserly 58.3 points per game, seventh-best in the nation.

This stifling defense has made

Butler (16-2) perennially one of the best mid-major teams in the country.

And, like Gonzaga, the Bulldogs are a team that nobody wants to face in the NCAA tournament.

Butler competes in the anonymity of the Horizon League playing against unknowns like Wright State and Wisconsin-Green Bay. The showdown with Duke (13-2) on national television provides the chance for exposure and validation against a national powerhouse that the Bulldogs have coveted.

“You always want to go against the best,” Butler senior guard Darnell

N.C. State recruits well

Sloan, Artest suspended

Football recruiting guru Tom Lemming listed N.C. State’s recruiting class as the ninth-best in the country. Lemming considers the Wolfpack’s recruiting success a huge surprise.

Utah head coach Jerry Sloan was suspended for seven games for shoving an official, and Indiana star Ron Artest can not play for four games for his antics against Miami.

Archey said. “We' know that playing against Duke will put us on the map.”

Butler has had success in the past against teams from major conferences, and has even joined the nation’s elite in the NCAA tournament in four of the past seven years.

In 2001, the Bulldogs upset Wake Forest in the first round of the tourna-

ment before losing to Arizona, which went on to lose to Duke in the championship game.

The year before, Butler nearly shocked eventual runner-up Florida in the first round, losing only on a lastsecond shot in overtime. In the past two regular seasons, Butler has notched victories over Wisconsin, Indiana and Purdue.

All of these upsets, however, would pale in comparison to beating Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“We’re going to play a team that’s had the top program since I’ve been alive,” Bulldog senior forward Joel Cornette said. “It’s something I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid, getting a chance to go after the big boys.”

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski scheduled Butler precisely because of its reputation for playing David to the big-name teams’ Goliath.

At the beginning of the season, Krzyzewski said his young Blue Devil squad needed experience against this type of opponent.

If Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils want to pick up a victory along with some expe-

rience, they will have to avoid letting the deliberate Bulldogs control the pace of the game with their patient offense and stalwart defense.

the 6-1 Archey.

“We know that we’re going to have to be guarding guys on the perimeter a lot,” senior forward Nick Horvath said.

“Even [the 6-foot-10 Cornette] is more of like a point-center for them, and...they can all shoot, so we’re going to have to play a lot outside.”

The size discrepancy between the teams should allow the Duke big men to build on their solid performance against Georgia Tech.

In that contest, Duke’s post players responded to critics that had railed the Blue Devils for not having any offensive threats on the interior.

Pundits were proven correct in consecutive losses to Maryland and N.C. State, in which Duke’s big men were hardly noticeable on the offensive end.

Against Georgia Tech, however, the Blue Devil frontcourt was a force to be reckoned with, going 13-for-21 from the field and ripping down 24 rebounds.

The inside effort was headed by Shelden Williams, who established career-best totals of 18 points and 13 rebounds. He looks to continue to emerge as a sorely-needed inside threat for the Blue Devils.

“He’s a beast inside, and he’s finishing well,” Horvath said ofWilliams.

“At times he rushes his shot, but [lately! he’s been patient, finding his spots and finishing well.”

little bit,” Goestenkors said. “Too high, too long—l’m not sure exactly why. I think we were excited to be able to run.

We hadn’t been running much in recent games, but there’s not excuse for that.

We had 13 turnovers in the first half and we’re usually a team that takes care of the basketball.”

Duke looked impressive from a hustle standpoint, however. The Blue Devils were particularly outstanding on the glass, outrebounding N.C. State 48-32..

“We know that rebounds are a tough area for us,” said Wolfpack head coach Kay Yow. “We’re still working on that.

We know we lost the battle there.”

Although the Blue Devils appeared to have a formidable size advantage inside, their impressive rebounding edge appeared to come mostly from sheer

Harding—all 5-feet-8 of her—pulled down five offensive rebounds by herself.

“You certainly would like to think that the short guards couldn’t get in the lane to follow a shot,” Yow said, seemingly a little miffed at such a statistical oddity.

High flying Duke entered

Wednesday night averaging more than 85 points a game, with just 14 turnovers. Their performance tonight featured little of that offensive firepower. But one of the truest cliches in basketball lexicon is that defense really does win championships.

Floor burns and grit go a long way against whomever you’re playing, and will certainly be needed in large supply this Saturday when the Connecticut Huskies, the nation’s only other undefeated team, come to Cameron with their record-setting 58-game winning

streak on the line.

Sheana Mosch then contributed with a hard-scoring drive to the basket during the run that drew a foul. Mosch capitalized and converted the from the line.

The Wolfpack responded to the Blue Devils’ 18-2 attack with a 12-0 run oftheir own, cutting their once 22-point deficit to just 10 with 5:04 remaining. Duke again was able to distance themselves from N.C. State with a couple of lay-ups by Alana Beard. The Wolfpack, however, would not let Duke get away without a fight, as junior guard Terah James hit a cutting Liz Bailey for an easy bucket that once again cut Duke’s lead down to just six with 1:30 remaining. But while Duke bended, it did not break. The Blue Devils shut N.C. State out for the rest of the game to preserve its spotless record.

“They just kept on chipping away at our lead and I was proud of our poise down the stretch,” Goestenkors said. “I was a little disappointed that we let that lead slip away, but again, justproud of the poise that we exhibited in the last couple minutes ofthe game.”

Duke did not have its optimal offensive output Wednesday. It went a mere 1for-14 from behind the arc and shot just 35 percent. The Blue Devils did however have their fair share of highlights. Beard led Duke’s scoring force with 24 points and eight offensive rebounds (11 total).

Time after time, the 5-foot-11 junior made the court her personal dance floor, juking and shimmying past would-be Wolfpack defenders.

“After last game, the coaches told me to take it to the basket more,” Beard said.

Bush’s vision

Wednesday,

President George W. Bush gave his third State of the Union address to the nation. Although the speech focused more on what Bush wants to accomplish in the future rather than what his administration has done in the past year, it was nevertheless an encouraging restatement of many of Bush’s top priorities, domestic and international.

The second half of Bush’s speech focused primarily on international issues such as terrorism and Iraq. One ofthe most important statements of the night was that Secretary of State Colin PoweH will go before the UN. Security Council to outline the reasons for a war against Iraq. Bush made a convincing case for a war against Iraq last night—especially his argument that it would be foolhardy to wait for the threat to be immanent before eliminating it—and if Powell presents sufficient evidence of Iraq’s malfeasance next week, the United States will be justified in going to war, whether as the head of a coalition or alone.

The most damning piece of evidence against Saddam Hussein so far is simple arithmetic: At the end of the GulfWar, the United Nations accounted for all ofHussein’s weapons of mass destruction; now, Hussein must be able to account for where all those weapons are or how they were destroyed. So far, he has been unable and unwilling to do this, suggesting that he is most likely hiding weapons of mass destruction. Hopefully, Powell will present more concrete evidence to the Security Council soon.

Also on international policy, Bush proposed a revolutionary humanitarian mission providing $l5 billion to fight AJDS in Africa. No one should disagree with this use of America’s wealth to help the least fortunate of the world. At home, Bush also focused on health care, promising to fix Medicare. Reforming the American health care system is something sorely needed, and it is encouraging that the 40 million Americans without health insurance are foremost in Bush’s mind. Two possible ways to make health care more affordable and efficient is to encourage privatization of insurance policies and to cap malpractice suits.

Another major problem facing America is a sluggish economy, which Bush aims to fix through large tax cuts. Bush is right to accelerate the timing of the tax cuts and eliminate dividend taxes, both of which will immediately help the economy and spurn job creation.

However, Bush should have discussed the current fiscal crisis many states are in and how the federal government will help rectify that situation. Moreover, Bush should have focused more on specific ideas for job creation. However, it is encouraging that Bush promises fiscal responsibility in the government, since unnecessary government spending in the past has crippled the nation.

Lastly, Bush’s most innovative idea is that of funding for hydrogen cars. Bush is right to point out that new technology is the best way to preserve the environment; however, that technology may be several years away. Therefore, Bush should also be focusing on reducing emissions now, both to reduce our dependence on oil and to protect the environment.

Top professors argue that Duke must support BAA Duke alumni in some of our graduate programs have called to our attention a series of articles that have recently appeared in The Chronicle. We have read with dismay the articles projecting a downsizing of the biological anthropology and anatomy department at Duke University.

Duke’s BAA department has long been a center of excellence in the study of primate and human evolution and has had a profound influence on our current understanding ofprimate evolution.

Its faculty includes leading researchers on the primate fossil record, primate functional morphology and biomechanics, primate ecology and primate behavior and human paleontology. Its graduate program is one of the best in the world, producing outstanding students, many of whom have gone on to become leaders in their field. BAA faculty—including non-tenure track post-docs—have successfully and competitively funded these endeavors with

grant money from many the including sources, National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. BAA faculty have also been instrumental in the development of the Duke University Primate Center, which is of central importance for research into prosimian biology, evolution and conservation—which is arguably the single most important locus for the study of prosimian biology in the world.

It is unfathomable to us that a university such as Duke, dedicated as it is to excellence in research and teaching, would consider decimating a department of the quality of BAA and threatening the existence of the Primate Center. Such actions would be extraordinarily short-sighted and ill-advised.

We urge the Duke administration to develop a more realistic plan for BAA, building on its strengths and rewarding its excellence. To do otherwise would be to diminish the quality of research and under-

After George W. Bush’s statements against affirmative action were reported in the news, I said to a friend, “I cannot believe that Bush spoke out against affirmative action with all of the opposition that he faces already. Maybe this will open up some people’s eyes for the next election.”

"I was a pacifist for much of my life, and I am very against terrorism."

-Laura Whitehom, 2003

"(W)e purposely aimed our attack at the institutions of imperialist rule rather than at individual members of the ruling class and government. We did not choose to kill any of them at this time. But their lives are not sacred..."

-Taped statement from Laura Whitehom's terrorist group claiming responsibility for the US. Capitol bombing, 1983 Becky Thompson, the

visiting African and African-American Studies professor responsible for inviting Laura Whitehorn to Duke, claims that Ms. Whitehorn's "work was actually the opposite of terrorism." But the AAAS has still not acknowledged the full extent of Ms. Whitehorn's crimes. On May 11, 1985, the FBI raided a Baltimore apartment occupied by Ms. Whitehorn. The FBI was rounding up a criminal gang comprised of known associates of Ms. Whitehorn that included Marilyn Jean Buck, who is now serving an 80-year prison sentence. Ms. Buck secured funds used in the gang's "revolutionary" activities by carrying out two armored car robberies in which two guards and two police officers were shot to death. Later, she was also found guilty of participating in a string of bombings along with Ms. Whitehorn and other conspirators.

The FBI

found the following items in Ms. Whitehorn's apartment: weapons, including an Uzi semiautomatic 9 mm, a .38caliber revolver, and a .22 automatic pistol with a silencer; bombing components; $lO,OOO in cash; hundreds of pieces of false identification; equipment to produce false identifications; stolen driver's licenses; police department patches; two badges from the N.Y.C. Police Department; U.S. military uniforms; surveillance logs of banks and corporate and government locations; intelligence files on the police and FBI; bulletproof vests; terrorist instruction manuals; a copy of the FBl's "1983 Summary of Terrorist Incidents"; a copy of the attorney general's "Guidelines on the Conduct of Domestic Security/Terrorism Investigations"; and a folder marked "In Progress" containing diagrams and photos of potential bombing targets, including the Old Executive Office Building and the U.S. Naval Academy. The FBI said Ms. Whitehorn's apartment yielded evidence of its use by extremist groups suspected of 16 bombings and that the gang's arrest prevented 14 planned acts of terrorism.

"(Laura Whitehorn's) work was actually the opposite of terrorism."

-Dr. Rebecca Thompson

Ms. Whitehorn and six other members

of the self-described "Communist politico-military organization" were indicted by a federal grand jury in May 1988 in a string of eight bombings, including that of the U.S. Capitol; the National War College at Fort McNair; the Washington Navy Yard's computer center and officers club; an FBI office; the Israeli Aircraft Industries Building in New York; the South African consulate; and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. After initially pleading not guilty, Ms. Whitehorn later pled guilty to conspiracy and/or malicious destruction of government property in the eight bombings. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The

Duke Conservative Union calls on Ms. Whitehorn, Dr. Thompson, and Duke President Nan Keohane to renounce terrorism categorically and to renounce ALL the bombings perpetrated by Ms. Whitehorn. We call on President Keohane to explain why she denounced a simple academic argument from David Horowitz, but she refuses to condemn Ms. Whitehorn's terrorist bombings. Is an argument against slavery reparations really a bigger threat to the administration's supposed values of tolerance, pluralism and free speech than a serial bomber? Contrary to Dr. Thompson's shocking claims, bombings are not "patriotic" acts of dissent. They are acts of terrorism and illegitimate violence committed by those whose ideas have failed in the public realm. A cloak of "progressive" politics does not justify armed robbery, bombings, and murder. While no one would deny Ms. Whitehorn's constitutional right to free speech now that she is no longer incarcerated, the public has a right to know to what extent she and her sponsors still defend bombings and other acts of terrorism. Finally, we call on Ms. Whitehorn to acknowledge that at some point since she bombed the U.S. Capitol in 1983, she ceased regarding herself and her associates as the rightful arbiters of whose life is "sacred" and who should be killed.
