Anticipating the impending deadline to reform the School of Medicine’s curriculum for the fall of 2004, some members of the school’s Curriculum Committee are expressing frustration at the current pace of planning and the quality of the administrative leadership.

Although there is widespread support for the direction of change, some members of the committee have raised questions recently about the preparedness of the committee for both the fall 2004 starting date and a January 2004 deadline to submit a “plan of action” to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting body for medical schools.

“With educational eyes, I think it’s a rush,” said Dr. Emil Petrusa, associate dean of curriculum assessment. “[A delay from fall 2004] would make sense to me... but there’s an accreditation deadline. The LCME wants action.”

Considering the potential advantage of the new curriculum, Petrusa said he felt the rush to be beneficial, as it will force the Curriculum Committee to be more proactive and engaged than it has been.

Curriculum revisions would alter already-unique Med School system

By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Confronting a demanding and uncertain future for health care professionals, the School of Medicine is preparing for whole-scale revisions to all four years of its curriculum, scheduled for implementation in fall 2004.

The Curriculum Committee—made up of a broad coalition of faculty members and medical students—are leading the changes to an institution already unique among medical schools. Al-

though the final structure is not complete, the past year’s planning has fleshed out many of the details of the revision—the School of Medicine’s first since 1966.

“As medicine and society change, the way we educate physicians must change,” said Dr. Edward Halperin, vice

dean within the School ofMedicine and vice chancellor of academic affairs within the Medical Center. “Our mission is to adjust to the times while being mindful and respectful of eternal verities.”

Students at Duke currently learn basic science in the first year alone—compared with two at other schools—and clinical science in the second year in the form of rotations. This leaves open Duke’s vaunted third year for independent research and the fourth year for clinical electives.

Among the likely changes, subject material from the first and second years will be blended and taught in a See CURRICULUM on page 5

The five presidential candidates—Taylor Collison, Adam Katz, Mike Sacks, Matthew Slovik and Shaomeng Wang—all juniors, have all worked with DSG in some capacity, although only Slovik has previously served as a committee vice president. Sacks is currently studying in Los Angeles, and will travel to Duke at least once over the next several weeks for endorsement interviews with various student organizations.

Jean-Baptiste said the group’s work has been largely inefficient because of that type of disagreement roundabout among executive members.

That disagreement, he said, points to a deeper fault in the organization’s basic structure: too many different agendas.

Currently, DSG’s six execuJoshua Jean-Baptiste tive officers—who together comprise the organization’s leadership—are all elected separately. Hence, they usually run separate campaigns and have separate visions for undergraduate student governance. The result, Jean-Baptiste said, has often been inaction.

Al-Jazeera audio tape contains message believed to be from Osama bin Laden

By ROBERT REID

The Associated Press

A raspy voice beDOHA, Qatar lieved to be Osama bin Laden’s urged Iraqis to carry out suicide attacks against Americans and draw U.S. troops into combat in Iraqi cities. U.S. officials said the call broadcast Tuesday proves the world must fear Saddam Hussein’s ties to the al Qaeda

The appeal was made in a voice

It was broadcast as U.S. officials warned of potentially devastating attacks within the United States and

Some analysts wondered at bin Laden’s motives for issuing a statement supporting Iraq, given many countries’ skepticism of U.S. allegations of Iraqi-al Qaeda links. Others worried the recording would inflame Muslims against U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf region.

“We advise about the importance of drawing the enemy into long, close and exhausting fighting, taking advantage of camouflaged positions in plains, farms, mountains and cities,” he said.

The White House said Tuesday that it was conducting “intense diplomacy” in the face of strong European-led opposition to its tough approach on Iraq, and that it still hoped the U.N. Security Council would pass a new resolution on the use of military action against Baghdad.

Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesperson, was asked Tuesday whether the resistance of France, Germany and others did not quash hopes for a new resolution. “Keep your powder dry before you make predictions,” he said, urging reporters not to jump to conclusions. “The president is going to continue to talk to leaders around the world and he believes that the call will be answered.”

While the debates splitting the United Nations, as well as NATO, have been widely depicted as among their worst in decades, Fleischer tried to play down the trans-Atlantic differences as a “good spat” among friends.

Patterson links journalism, civil rights Career center

proposals draw support

By WHITNEY ROBINSON The Chronicle

“I’m not a blind boy from Alabama,” said Roy Clark, a senior scholar at the Poynter Institute, a journalism thinktank. “I’m a white man from Long Island.”

That didn’t stop him from slipping into his best BB King imitation, grabbing a pole microphone by the hand and serenading legendary journalist Eugene Patterson, the special guest at a Sanford Institute of Public Policy panel Tuesday, in an a capella rendition of the spiritual “Walkin’ Down Freedom Road.”

“I feel inspired by the music in Gene Patterson’s writing,” said Clark, who co-edited The Changing South of Gene Patterson: Journalism of Civil Rights, 1960-1968, with a second panelist, Raymond Arsenault, John Hope Franklin professor ofhistory at the University of

South Florida.

Patterson, editor-in-chief of The Atlanta Constitution from 1960 to 1968, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning civil rights columnist and one of the most famous and prolific Southern journalists. During his tenure, he was responsible for some of the most passionately written and controversial editorials on racial equality in the nation.

“We didn’t settle this by the sword in the 20th century. We settled it by the pen,” Patterson told a packed audience. “[The United States] was a vicious society we were trying to change.”

While Patterson—a former Duke Trustee and former editor, president and CEO ofThe St. Petersburg Times—answered questions and gave a short speech, both Arsenault and Clark read two examples of his writings, which they also distributed to the audience.

“To read Gene’s columns is to see the 1960s though his eyes—an extraordinary revolution,” Arsenault said. He chose to read one of Patterson’s celebrated editorials, “I Have a Dream,” written the day after Martin Luther King, Jr.’s monumental speech in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 30, 1963. “Gene Patterson saw this writing for the most influential paper in the South,” Arsenault said.

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

EUGENE PATTERSON speaks to audience members Tuesday at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. Patterson’s columns on race in America won him respect from civil rights leaders.

Arsenault cited Patterson’s finesse in capturing the essence and importance of King’s speech with only one draft. “He urged us to follow the ’6os with him. It was a dizzying experience to deal with this much change in this short amount of time.”

Clark read Patterson’s much-lauded essay, “A Flower for the Graves,” written Sept. 16, 1963, in response to the murders of four black girls in Birmingham, Ala., at the hands of white residents. The article, in which Patterson blamed the crime on all Southerners—black and white—was considered so powerful that former anchorman Walter Cronkite asked him to read it on the CBS Evening News.

Citing the extensive use of the pronoun ‘we’ in the article, Clark said, “This was not a man talking down from the mountain top but having a spirited, spiritual conversation with his fellow Southerners about the possibility of change.”

Patterson himself spoke about the challenges he faced as a liberal-minded figure in a segregated Southern society.

Growing up in a segregated community and attending segregated schools, he spoke Tuesday of several instances where he was confronted with the harsh nature ofracial inequality. “[Racel is the great domestic issue for this country,” he said. “It’s not just about race or laws —it’s about the human heart.”

It’s job-hunting season, and seniors across campus are getting anxious.

The reality of graduation—not to mention the reality of an unforgiving job market—looms over the heads of aspiring doctors, lawyers and investment bankers.

But students who have chosen not to pursue the “typical” post-Duke careers say they have difficulty finding support at the Career Center. The center’s new director, Sheila Curran has expressed a desire to broaden its ability to advise on alternative career options, and many students say they would welcome the change, as well as more involvement by career counselors in students’ planning.

Many also said that now, at least on the surface, the Career Center provides support exclusively for certain established career paths.

Senior Katherine Glass, who will enter a graduate program in graphic design next year, said the Career Center offered her few resources. Glass prepared her portfolio and applications to various art schools completely on her own; while she did approach the Career Center for assistance, she did not think the center’s counselors were necessarily prepared to meet her needs. Other than providing the names of a few alumni contacts, she said, “They weren’t helpful whatsoever.”

Many seniors do not even go as far as Glass, hesitating to contact the Career Center at all. Donna Hamer, assoSee CAREERS on page 7

Neurologist analyzes cognition of elderly

By JACQUELINE FOSTER The Chronicle

Exceptional cognitive abilities of some older adults can slip through the cracks unnoticed, as society tends to focus its attention on those who experience major brain-functioning deterioration, and away from those few who are able to retain most of their cognitive skill in old age.

Roberto Cabeza, assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences, has found that aging can cause some people to use multiple areas of their brains for example, using both sides of the prefrontal cortex—for tasks that they, when they were younger, might have accomplished with just one side of the brain.

Since 1995, Cabeza has been working —

on a study that analyzes how many older adults are able to recruit the use of both sides of the brain to carry out cognitive activities. As a part of the aging process, older adults develop “fragile bones, their joints do not work as well and they suffer from high cholesterol,” Cabeza said. “The brain is an organ of the body. It’s affected by aging too.”

As adults age, they begin to lose some natural brain functions—specifically, those cognitive functions, such as memory, associated with the prefrontal cortex.

“Certain [brainl functions are lateralized in young adults,” Cabeza said, meaning that certain are dedicated to one area or side of the brain.

For instance, in performing tasks that require the use ofmemory, brain scans show that most young adults show almost all stimulation occurring in the left prefrontal cortex of their brain.

“Older adults show more bilateral ac-

tivities,” Cabeza said.

Cabeza cited two theories that attempt to pinpoint how adults acquire the ability to engage their brains in bilateral activity. One theory is the dedifferentiation theory, which presumes that the phenomenon occurs because of the loss of the ability to use specialized neural mechanisms. If this theory were

THE BRAINS OF OLDER ADULTS tend to more often use both sides of their brain for cognitive tasks, possibly to compensate for deterioration in one side. true, an individual’s genes would be regulating the change, Cabeza said.

The compensation theory states that the loss in asymmetry occurs through a

psychological mechanism. Under this theory, the phenomenon reflects a change in the way the brains of some older adults perform cognitive tasks.

“This change occurs through a training ofthe brain,” Cabeza said.

In selecting a proper research group for the study, Cabeza and his research partners tested a large group of older adults in their ability to perform specific memory tasks. From the initial research

pool, Cabeza’s team selected a group of high-performing older adults and a group oflow-performing older adults.

After the two test groups were organized, Cabeza administered cognitive tests to each of the individuals in both groups while scanning their brains using positron-emission tomography.

“The high-performing group showed bilateral activities,” Cabeza said. “This shows thatthe change is compensatory.”

CURRICULUM from page 1 more integrated manner; an organized curriculum complete with small-group discussions will be added to the second year; and more structure and required material will be added to the third and fourth years.

The overall structure will remain intact, including the unique third year when many students pursue secondary degrees.

“The amount of time devoted [to each subject] will stay relatively the same. Where it occurs will start to vary,” said Dr. Edward Buckley, associate dean of curriculum development. “In the first year there could be a fair amount of clinical exposure that’s relevant to the material being taught and appropriate for the training level of the student. Likewise, in the second year, there’s nothing that says you can’t introduce scientific material.”

Administrators list several reasons for reforming the curriculum: the increased complexity of medical concepts and technologies, a changing health care market with greater emphasis on preventive care, a national clinical skills test required of all medical school graduates beginning in 2005 and more focus being placed on the professionalism and communication skills of doctors.

“You have to adapt physicians to the way you think the future is going to be, and the future is not going to be unless you adapt physicians to help create it,” said Dr. Ralph Snyderman, CEO of Duke University Health Systems.

To meet these goals, a major focus of the curriculum revision is changing the style of instruction, moving to

greater utilization of technology and more labs and

small-group discussions.

The plan calls for the first year to be condensed into three large courses —Molecules and Cells, Normal Body, and Body and Disease —covering the same breadth of material, but thoroughly altering teaching methodology and consistently working in clinical applications. “[The first year] will become more of an interdisci-

plinary, not departmentally-owned endeavor—learning as it makes more sense,” Buckley said.

Basic science in the first year is now taught from 12 lecture courses—roughly divided in subject matter by department and ranging from biochemistry to neurobiology.

“One of the overall curriculum goals is to increase the student-perceived relevance of the subject matter,” said Dr. Emil Petrusa, associate dean of curriculum assessment. When learning about carbohydrates in biochemistry, for example, students could learn why diabetics are not able process the chemical and how it affects them, he added.

12, 2003 � PAGE 5

Petrusa added that some depth in basic science material may be sacrificed. “The basic scientists see it as a loss. The clinical people will see it as a gain and an improvement to clinical care,” he said.

Organ systems form a unifying theme for much of the first year’s later material. Students will likely learn several subjects—like physiology, anatomy and cell biology—surrounding a specific organ system, such as the heart, at the same time, instead of learning about disease at one time and the drugs to treat

them at another.

“When you’re practicing medicine, you don’t think about how the drug you want to give [patients] fits into the scheme of pharmacology. You think about how it affects the heart,” said Karen Joynt, a third-year medical student on the Curriculum Committee. “It’s a smoother intellectual transition.”

Jo Wright, vice dean of basic sciences, also lent support for the new philosophy. “I am a strong supporter of an integrated curriculum,” she said. “I think it’s important to change things to keep people vital and keep the curriculum active.”

The second year is mainly composed of five required clinical rotations, in which students gain their first exposure to patient care. How clinical material is taught across the country has not changed significantly since the 19305, but Duke is planning some innovation.

“Medical schools have not had a curriculum for the clinical work,” Petrusa said. “The patient-contact experience has been random.” For the first time, the revisions will add an organized curriculum to the clinical experience, he added.

In addition to following students more closely, the plans will likely institute a one-week inter-term between clinical rotations, consisting of small-group discussions on both their experiences and national health

...For All the Ones You Love

care topics.

The presence of departmentally-divided clinical courses will probably not change, however. “One of the neatest parts of the second year is being part of a team. Merging courses would pull you out of that,”

Joynt said.

Requirement of a thesis and other tracking methods have already been phased in to the third year, but administrators expressed hesitance about changing the year in other directions due to its centrality to the School of Medicine’s identity.

In order to better bridge the gap between medical student and resident, curriculum revision to the fourth year may require a subintemship and some experience in emergency medicine.

Halperin pointed to the constant need for improvement. “The undergraduate medical curriculum is an organic structure, not static,” he said. “Professors, students and administrators will, I am sure, embrace the excitement of innovation.”

COMMITTEE from page 1 charge of the curriculum transformation, said he felt the revision is moving forward at an appropriate speed.

“The most important thing is to get it right, not to get it fast,” he said. “I think [the Curriculum Committee] is doing a fabulous job.”

Professor of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology Victor Nadler, who has been involved with every stage of curriculum planning and currently serves as co-chair of the Body and Disease subcommittee, disagreed.

“I think that we are nowhere right now,” he said. “For reasons I don’t understand, there’s not a will by the people running this committee to make any decisions.”

The School of Medicine has been planning a curriculum revision for nearly four years. In fall 1999, former vice dean for education Dr. Russel Kaufman held a retreat to discuss potential changes. Feeding on the results, a task force outlined revisions in early 2001.

Kaufman created the present Curriculum Committee in fall 2001—including the positions now held by Petrusa and Dr. Edward Buckley, associate dean of curriculum development—to implement the revisions. Kaufman left last April to head a Philadelphia research center.

Buckley said the plan remains to initiate the brunt

CAREERS from page 3 date director of the center, said she is well aware of the phenomenon and wants to publicize the Career Center to dispel the myths about advising.

“Students certainly don’t take advantage of the resources at the Career Center,” she said. While career counselors have “done everything they can—e-mails, ads, flyers—it is still a constant challenge to make students aware of what is going on here.”

In terms of on-campus recruiting, Harner explained, only certain companies have the resources to make themselves very visible at the University.

She emphasized that the Career Center does, in fact, offer a wide variety of resources for job-seekers of all disciplines. Out of the eight counselors that work at the center, only one specializes in business and finance.

Upon graduation, Jay Heeter, Trinity ’O2, entered the non-profit sector with the environmental advocacy group Green Corps. He said he ultimately was inspired not by the Career Center but by several outstanding teachers and advisers he had had at the University. Out of 22 Green Corps organizers and six permanent staff members, four are Duke graduates.

“The Green Corps contacted me by a fortunate coincidence and some lucky connections,” he said.

Heeter emphasized that while alternative opportunities are there, often they are harder to track down.

Students make their own opportunities, getting information from friends or flyers on campus as opposed to the traditional recruiting options available to those students who seek jobs at larger, more visible corporations.

Echoing the sentiments of a large number of current students’ reactions to the utility of resources at the Career Center, Heeter added, “They were very helpful in terms of resume-writing, but other than that they were not much help at all.”

Harner asserted that the center is receptive to change and willing to respond to any student’s needs.

“You don’t have to go through [your job hunt] by yourself,” she said.

of the changes in fall 2004. “Whether we can go with the full-blown change or not, I don't know.”

Sandy Williams, dean of the School of Medicine, voiced support for the current pace of revision. “It is a major undertaking, and we expect some bumps along the way, but I am confident the initiative is in good hands and that reasonable progress is being made.”

Countering this view, Nadler explained that his subcommittee—one of 20 working on different aspects of the curriculum—completed a first-draft design in June of last year, but has not yet had the opportunity to present it to the larger committee or to gain feedback on their plan’s feasibility. “We can’t move forward until we know how the new curriculum shapes up,” he said.

Nadler, co-chair of the last curriculum committee in the late 19905, attributed the slow progress to a vacancy of involved leadership following the departure of Kaufman, who initiated the changes. “We had a dean of education who was strongly committed to the process,” he said. “Since he left last year, the process has struggled.”

The current leadership has not been as engaged as Kaufman had been, Nadler said. “Up to this point,

12, 2003 � PAGE 7

[Halperin] has not been involved at all. To my knowledge, as far as interaction with the committee as a whole, that’s been a problem,” he said. “In medical schools that have had successful curriculum changes, the change was led by a committed dean.”

Halperin defended his record by pointing to the work of administrators directly under him, including Buckley. “My philosophy is to get out of their way and have them do it,” he said. “I am ultimately responsible for adhering to the demands of faculty and students,” he added. “I look at myself as being directly in charge....

Do I attend meetings every day? No. Dr. Buckley does.”

Pointing to Molecules and Cells—a course derived from Curriculum Committee planning that was implemented last fall—as an example of a course that was not planned thoroughly enough, Petrusa expressed the need for more educational expertise and better planning.

RESTRUCTURING

“I am a firm believer that ideas forged through the crucible ofdebate be-

will outline a plan for restructuring the student government’s organization—which he and DSG Attorney General Will Fagan developed over winter break—at the Legislature’s meeting tonight.

“By saying, Well, you do your thing and I’ll do mine,’ we’re not going to get anything major done,” Jean-Baptiste said.

In a Chronicle column Monday, senior Bill English accused the DSG executive committee of “crippling” Jean-Baptiste’s agenda, singling out Executive Vice President Justin Ford and Vice President for Student Affairs Troy Clair for using “petty personal politics” to block initiatives.

“Justin Ford is an elected official, and he has a job to do,” Jean-Baptiste said.

“Everybody did their job well this year,

and as a result, it led to gridlock.”

Although he declined to comment on English’s column, Ford said he thought disagreement among executive committee members was not a result of structural problems, adding that differing opinions allowed for improved policy.

CANDIDATES from page 1 candidates to my knowledge,” Fagan further observed, a stark contrast to the current executive makeup.

Of the six positions, only one—vice president for community interaction—is uncontested, with sophomore Andrew Wisnewski a lock for the position.

Junior Clifford Davison, current vice president for facilities and athletics, and freshman Russ Ferguson are running for senior Justin Ford’s position as executive vice president.

tween opposing and diverse views are the best kind of policy that any organization could hope to achieve,” he said.

Jean-Baptiste’s plan includes reducing the elected executive positions from six to three—president, executive vice president and chancellor—elected in a ticket format. Furthermore, the student body would elect 35 senators, some by class, instead of the current 50 legislators.

Under the executive vice president, four committees—facilities, student life, academics and appointments—would each elect their committee chairs internally. Community Interaction would become a DSG standing committee.

Chief of Staff Emily Grey said JeanBaptiste proposed his plans to the executive committee in January and gathered feedback from the group, which ultimately voted not to present the plan to the general body.

“If the executive committee does not agree with the proposal, the person who brings it always has the option to bring it to the Legislature instead or to take that advice and bring it back to [the ex-

Sophomore Maggie Peloso and junior Avery Reaves will battle for senior Lyndsay Beal’s spot as vice president for academic affairs.

For vice president for facilities and athletics, juniors Alex Niejelow and Kevin Ogorzalek will run.

Three sophomores—Stephanie Crissy, Elizabeth Dixon and Mimi Wachendorf—all DSG members, will pursue senior Troy Clair’s position as vice president for student affairs.

Elections will also include two referrenda on hiking the student activities fee of DSG and the Duke University Union.

ecutive committee] revised,” Grey said.

“That’s something that has been done in years past, but it hasn’t been utilized to its fullest capacity this year.”

Despite internal disagreements, Grey said she did not feel as though differing opinions hindered the executive officers’ performances. “I think the dynamic of the executive committee has been a challenge, but I think that we were still able to get a lot individually done this year.”

troversial issues, especially social life.

“We either end up voting, or we get so much gridlock that the issue cannot be discussed,” Jean-Baptiste said. ‘We had little incentive to talk about controversial issues because it was so painful to do.”

He added that DSG needs to provide more services for the student body, and although it has served as a strong advocate for some issues like SAGES, it has fallen short on others.

“I wanted to talk about the changes in the greek system, as in things that have been happening particularly to residential fraternities and having the administration provide an explanation as to what was happening,” Jean-Baptiste said.

However, the executive committee could not agree on how to approach the administration publicly to question its future plans for the greek system.

Given the current structure, though, “I think we’ve done the best that we could,” Jean-Baptiste said. “I want the candidates who are running next year to talk about this. I want the student body to demand that DSG change, unless the student body doesn’t mind DSG being

Ford agreed.

“The degree of professionalism in DSG has been far superior to any of my previous experiences with the organization,” he said, highlighting smooth elections, passing the Greening Initiative, seeing the Student Accessible Course Evaluation System become permanent and gathering undergraduate input on parking, safety and women’s issues.

“We’ve done it in a manner that was without controversy and contention, which I think accounts for our low profile this year,” Ford said.

While individual projects may have been productive, Jean-Baptiste said he felt disagreement fostered by structural weakness forced executives to avoid con-

The lower performance of the other group could be attributed, at least in part, to the individual’s incapacity to “functionally compensate” for the loss of ability in the brain.

Yanowski set to head special teams CBS, DMX,

By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

NBA, FOX, etc.

In an offseason where there has been much speculation about assistant coaching changes, the football team made its first move when it hired special teams coordinator Don Yanowski, who spent his last two seasons as the defensive line and defensive special teams coach for East Carolina.

Yanowski replaces Denny Creehan, who missed a month of last season after surgery to remove prostate cancer.

Creehan resigned for a combination of reasons, among them his health.

Always a football fanatic, Yanowski almost ended his coaching career when he and his wife decided to have children.

“With coaching, you always worry about moving, and how it’s going to affect your family,” he said.

Yanowski, who is the father of two boys aged five and eight years, seriously contemplated going to law school, but, through his wife’s advice, he decided to remain in the sport that he has always loved. “[My wife] said that you will be a better husband and a father if you do what your passion is,” he said. “I think in reality the days of living next door to Grandma and Grandpa or working for the same company in any discipline has evaporated.”

Yanowski’s decision, as head coach Carl JEFF BURLIN/THE CHRONICLE

So many thoughts, so little space...

There were few things more painful in sports last week than watching the first three quarters of the NBA All-Star game. I understand that in the NHL and NFL, players are primarily concerned with not being injured, and thus defenses are nowhere to be found. But the NBA has no excuse.

These guys refused to play any sort of defense ■ whatsoever until the fourth quarter rolled around. Occasionally one defender would put up his hands to defend a Evan Davis shot but that was about Pm , tt de,p slm it. Criminal, greedy, uneducated...now we can tack on lazy to the growing string of glowing adjectives for the NBA and its players.

CBS announced that they have signed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a commentator for the NCAA tournament this season. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it would be great if the other guys in the booth refused to refer to him as anything but “Murdock,” the former Laker center’s name in the film classic Airplane!

San Francisco taps Erickson as next head coach

By GREG BEACHAM

The Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif.

Dennis Erickson was hired Tuesday by the San Francisco 49ers to replace Steve Mariucci as head coach in a surprising end to a search that stretched nearly four weeks.

Erickson will be introduced as the 49ers’ 14th head coach at a news conference in San Francisco on Wednesday. The former Seattle Seahawks coach leaves Oregon State, where he went 31-17 over the last four seasons.

Mariucci, fired by owner John York Jan. 15 despite leading San Francisco to four playoff berths in six seasons, signed a five-year contract with the Detroit Lions last week.

Erickson, who turns 56 next month, is an unexpected choice for San Francisco, which concentrated its search on NFL defensive coaches since York sur-

prised his front office by firing Mariucci.

After wowing York and general manager Terry Donahue in a weekend interview, Erickson got a fiveyear contract worth $12.5 million—half of what Mariucci will make in Detroit. Erickson is charged with continuing the winning tradition established by Bill Walsh, George Seifert and Mariucci.

“We have found what we were looking for in a

ing winning teams, and I’m confident he’ll succeed in San Francisco.”

The search was praised by the candidates as deliberate and thorough, though Pro Bowl quarterback Jeff Garcia called it “embarrassing” for its apparent lack of direction. New York Jets defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell was the leading candidate until last weekend.

Donahue always said he planned to consider college head coaches. Earlier, several college coaches said they weren’t interested, including Washington’s Rick Neuheisel and Southern California’s Pete Carroll.

Erickson did not immediately return cell phone calls Tuesday. He was expected to address his players in Corvallis on Tuesday.

Erickson is just the 49ers’ fourth coach since 1979, following Walsh and Seifert who both won Super Bowls—and Mariucci. Erickson also is the first coach with prior NFL head coaching experience to take over the 49ers since Norman “Red” Strader in 1955.

Erickson coached the Seahawks from 1995-98, going 31-33—the same record of current Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, who briefly was thought to be a candidate for the 49ers’ job.

Many thought Erickson deserved better in his native Seattle, where he helped rebuild the

Sorenstam petitions for invitation to PGA’s Colonial

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press tournament made famous by Ben A Hogan and steeped in tradition on the PGA Tour could be in for a real twist: Annika Sorenstam is negotiating to play in the Colonial.

Tournament director Dee Finely said Tuesday her agent has inquired about giving one of the 12 sponsor’s exemptions to Sorenstam. That would make her the first woman to play on the PGA Tour since 1945—the year before Colonial began.

“We have been contacted by Mark Steinberg (at IMG),” Finley said. “It’s interesting, and something for us to

consider.”

Finley declined comment on the negotiations until “we have something to announce,” which could be as early as today.

Steinberg, who is also the agent for Tiger Woods, declined comment when reached at his hotel in San Diego.

No one has won more golf tournaments than Sorenstam over the last two seasons, Woods included. Last year alone, she shattered the LPGA Tour scoring record and won 13 times around the world, the most by anyone in nearly 40 years.

Now, she wants to take on the men.

Sorenstam said last month she would say “yes in a heartbeat” if a PGA Tour event offered her an exemption.

“I would love to play,” she said. “I have nothing to lose. It’s a great challenge.”

The last time a female played a PGA

Tour event, Babe Zaharias qualified for the 1945 Los Angeles Open and made the 36-hole cut before a 79 knocked her out of the final round.

The Colonial made its debut the fol-

lowing year, and it soon became known as “Hogan’s Alley.” He won the first of his five titles in 1946, and made the Fort Worth, Texas, club his home course during the peak of his career.

No course has hosted a PGA Tour event longer than Colonial.

Bank ofAmerica recently signed up as the title sponsor and is believed to be interested in having Sorenstam in the field.

Sorenstam’s main stipulation about playing on the PGA Tour is to compete on a course that does not require power off the tee. Colonial is 7,080 yards (par 70) and puts a premium on accuracy off the tee and being able to move the ball in both directions.

“Even if she plays Colonial, it would have to play hard and fast,” Woods said Tuesday, suggesting that Sorenstam would need a lot of roll to compensate for her lack ofpower.

PGA Tour players have been mostly supportive of her playing, although some doubt whether she could compete.

Still, the Colonial has one of the smallest fields on tour—114 to 120 players, while most PGA Tour events have 132 to as many as 156 players. There could be a backlash if it was perceived Sorenstam was taking away a spot in a small field.

“That would be something we would consider very, very seriously in making an offer to her,” Finley said. ‘We do have a number of players that don’t yet qualify for our field that have requested

sponsor’s exemptions.”

That was the reason Finley cited last week in suggesting there might not be room for Sorenstam to play in the Colonial this year.

What changed? ing freshmen will continue to cut away at his playing time, but rather as a captain. He and Dahntay Jones were both

named as captains Monday, and the news couldn’t have come soon enough.

Chris Duhon has enough to worry about with his own play, and the added stress of being the team’s lone captain certainly wasn’t helping the situation.

Horvath is a vocal leader on both the court and the bench, and head coach Mike Krzyzewski did the right thing by recognizing him as such.

The Cameron Crazies this season have been far worse than in the past three years, perhaps more. Cheering this year basically consists of chanting a player’s name when he does something good and then clapping five times. Duke basketball fans were once known for their •

ANNIKA SORENSTAM won 13 LPGA Tour events last year while also setting the tour’s scoring record “Following those conversations, we got a call from Mr. Steinberg,” he said.

Jose Maria Olazabal said he didn’t see anything wrong with Sorenstam trying to qualify for the Colonial.

“I don’t see a controversy and don’t want to make a big deal about it,” he said. “If she makes it, we’ll have to see how she plays and how she does.”

Woods played with Sorenstam against David Duval and Karrie Webb in

the “Battle at Bighorn” two years ago, and it turned into a fiasco at the end when neither of the women could hit the 18th fairway in regulation or the playoff.

Woods has said Sorenstam should consider playing more than one PGA Tour event to give herself a chance.

“If she plays well, then obviously it will be an overwhelming success,” he said. “But the downside would be pretty great as well.”

ERICKSON from page 9 Seahawks but couldn’t make the playoffs. Seattle was denied a playoff berth in 1998 only by a controversial loss to the New York Jets in which Vinny Testaverde was infamously awarded a touchdown when he never crossed the goal line a play that helped spur the reintroduction of instant replay to help officials.

Erickson’s greatest success has been in college, where he has turned four schools into winners.

Before resurrecting a moribund program at Oregon State, Erickson won national titles at Miami in 1989 and 1991, going 63-9 over six seasons. He also has coached at Idaho, Wyoming and Washington State.

Erickson said upon his hiring in 1999 he wanted to retire at Oregon State, but he is the second straight coach to leave Corvallis for an NFL job. Mike Riley left for the San Diego Chargers four years ago.

Cottrell, Chicago defensive coordinator Greg Blache and San Francisco defensive coordinator Jim

Mora interviewed last week. The 49ers also seriously considered Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who re-signed with the Buccaneers after the Super Bowl.

Cottrell, who signed a two-year extension to remain the Jets’ defensive coordinator if he did not get the 49ers’ job, felt he was treated fairly by the 49ers.

“I was informed today by Terry Donahue that they decided to hire Dennis Erickson as the next 49ers head coach,” Cottrell said. “While it’s obviously disappointing, I’d like to thank Dr. York, Terry Donahue and the entire 49ers staff for their professionalism throughout the interviewing process.”

Blache said while he was disappointed he did not get the job, he believed the 49ers gave him a fair shot.

“I feel good about the process,” he said, also dismissing the suggestion he was interviewed simply because he is black. “For me to say I was paraded around, used, I can’t believe that. I walk away from it feeling like they did things in good faith.”

Mariucci was fired despite four 10-win seasons

Franks feels that the Blue Devils’ special teams will drastically improve after last year’s poor showing.

“I like having somebody in charge of all the things that can happen,” Franks said. “Last year was kind of a disjointed year for us special team-wise. It was tough getting continuity.”

Hoping to help the Blue Devils’ well-being in the win column, Yanowski brings a great deal of enthusiasm to the game.

with a remarkably brief rebuilding period in between. York had a difference in philosophy with Mariucci, who led the 49ers to a 10-6 record, the NFC West title and a playoff victory over the New York Giants this past season.

Erickson is unlikely to demand a larger role in the organization, as York claimed Mariucci wanted. York has applied a strictly regimented business plan to the 49ers in which every employee has a clearly defined role. The owner felt Mariucci wanted to breach those boundaries by taking a role in player personnel, though Mariucci flatly denied it.

Three offensive assistants, including offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, are under contract 49ers for next season, and Donahue has said he wants to keep running the West Coast offense in its birthplace.

Erickson seems likely to go along with that dictum.

because it does take some emotion to run down the field and throw your body around and make tackles and return kicks and all that,” Franks said. “It was important to find somebody who has those qualities, somebody with a passion for the game.”

After playing offensive guard for the University of Toledo, Yanowski got his coaching start as a graduate assistant for his alma mater in 1981. He quickly climbed the coaching ladder, becoming the offensive line and recruiting coordinator for Utah from 1982-84.

Yanowski decided to coach younger players for the next stage of his career, working as an assistant coach in 1985-86 at Bountiful High School in Salt Lake City and then as a head coach at Viewmont High School, also in Salt Lake.

Following his high school jobs, Yanowski joined the college game once again in 1989, serving as the outside linebackers coach and recruiting coordi- Carl Franks nator for Memphis until 1994.

After taking a year off, Yanowski spent one season as an assistant for Minnesota before gladly accepting another assistant position in the far more clement area of Jonesboro, Ark., home ofArkansas State University.

Yanowski then spent the past two seasons at East Carolina, where a head coaching change left him and all but one ofthe other assistants looking for a new job.

Franks had met Yanowski at various camps and coaching functions, and began making phone calls inquiring into his service when the Toledo graduate became available. Franks was extra careful in evaluating Yanowski’s people skills because of the assets the special teams position demands.

‘You want to make sure the coach that you bring in gets along with the rest of your staff, especially if he’s a special teams coordinator,” Franks said. “In essence [the special teams coordinator hasl used other position coaches’ players. You’ve got to work with everybody else on the staff to make sure that you’re not only getting the best players on the field, you’re not

burning out those players.”

Yanowski feels he can balance playing time because of his significant experience.

“My passion and enthusiasm in coaching would probably start with special teams because its been an area where I’ve had a chance for some leadership opportunities,” he said.

No other coaching decisions have been made for the 2003 season, including the debate over whether or not to hire an offensive coordinator.

“Debate?” Franks joked before chuckling out, “If we do anything, I’ll let you know.”

Changing Career Center

The

arrival of Sheila Curran as the latest director ofthe Career Center has brought alongside it several ideas for improving careerfinding and job-placement services for undergraduates.

With her arrival, the center’s improvement should be one of the Division of Student Affairs’ top priorities. Leadership has long been too inconsistent at the center to develop ties to employers, online databases are embarrassingly outdated, services are disorganized, and, too often, “counseling” is reduced to spending time looking up resources yourself.

One very successful model the center should keep in mind is the pre-law office at Duke, through which consistency, knowledge and experience allow students the very best opportunities to find the best law school.

Career services should be no less smooth and organized.

Plans to enhance links with Alumni Affairs is a welcome move.

Duke has produced many leaders in various fields and the Career Center should take advantage of that for recent graduates trying to get their foot in the door within those same fields. Likewise, the endeavor to renovate the career center is long overdue. A first-rate facility in which interviewers and students can meet should be a requirement for a top-10 school.

Curran also notes that the center should offer students more choices than just pre-law, pre-medicine, consulting and investment banking.

While that’s true, the reason Duke students lean toward careers in law, business and medicine is because those career paths can naturally appeal to bright and talented people, not necessarily because the Career Center hasn’t offered enough options. While the center should provide as much information as possible to students about as many career choices as possible, it should not forget about the demand those career fields have to students and should work to maximize opportunities in law, medicine and business, including more ties to pre-professional advisers.

Plans to start career advising for students earlier in their undergraduate career are also very welcome. Too often, students wait until their senior years to think about their future, scurrying about trying to land a job.

Guidance during the sophomore or junior year would allow students more time to plan their career options, all the while providing them with information as they set about planning their courses and planning for summer opportunities. At the same time, linking career guidance to academic advising should raise caution. Career paths, at a liberal arts institution, should not determine majors. An engineering major can apply to law school, a physics major can apply to medical school and with a few courses in math, economics and finance, a classical studies major can get a job in banking. Students should choose majors based on their interests, not their resumes.

Curran’s ambitious agenda for the Career Center may prove to be a highly successful one. Although renovations will take time, many of the changes can and should begin immediately.

comment

I was stunned today to see that the mainstream newspaper of a university as open-minded as Duke

could publish writing like that I stumbled across on the staff editorial in the Feb. 10 issue of The Chronicle.

My interest in politics is usually low, yet I couldn’t help but react when I read, in “War against Iraq justi-

fied,” that “as it has done for

much of its history, France once again refuses to stand up to a clear threat to democracy.” I’m French, you see. I don’t have an overdeveloped national pride, but I am a strong partisan of truth and I think that this statement is a really an overly-simplistic view. Keep Http:

//

about France inappropriate

in mind that we’re talking about the nation that wrote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

I would really appreciate it if The Chronicle could put those sentences in perspective. Of course France doesn’t have a stainless background, and it might indeed have “sold Saddam a nuclear reactor and [have] a vested interest in Iraq’s oil.”

But remember that the

United States put Saddam Hussein’s party in power in 1963 and sold Iraq weapons throughout the 1980s. I honestly wonder who is “complied in Iraq’s tyranny” now.

As for defending democracy, should I give the names of a few countries that were helped out of it by

United States? the Guatemala, Laos, Bolivia, El Salvador and Chile immediately come to mind.

I am not trying to say that the United States has been wrong in doing any of this. I would just like to point out that there are usually two sides to a story.

Presenting “facts” in such a harsh way as the The Chronicle did does not favor positive debate; It only creates tensions among the international community of our University. For everyone’s sake, try to be a bit less assertive when all The Chronicle is doing is giving its opinion.

Columnist’s picture of war with Iraq The picture of war in Iraq as painted by Abdullah Al-

Arian in the Feb. 10 Chronicle

is truly chilling. Fortunately, it isn’t realistic. A search of The New York Times web page and then the entire world wide web for the story Al-Arian cited, the one about the Pentagon’s secret plans for bombing Iraq thousands of times a day for 60 days, turned up nothing.

The United States isn’t trying to annihilate Iraq, but to oust Saddam’s Baath party and help build a more stable nation. The US. has learned from past mistakes and intervention in Iraq means following through all the way. Many Americans will lead the rebuilding process after the war is over, and it wouldn’t

make much sense to expect the survivors of a 60,000bomb hell to follow the lead of those responsible for their suffering. Could anyone really expect the Pentagon to be that thick-headed?

Al-Arian assumes that the United States can dismiss civilians deaths caused by such an attack as collateral damage. Collateral damage, however, is more than just a “convenient little government phrase,” and it actually has its roots in this thing called the

Chronicle’s endorsement of Iraq As an alumnus, I am deeply disturbed that The Chronicle has endorsed the Bush administration’s reckless charge to war against Iraq in its Feb. 10 editorial,

The Bush administration has continually failed to make the case that the United States faces imminent danger from Iraq. But don’t take my word for it.

on U.S. soil, it could very well be the result of an eerie self-fulfilling prophecy.

But perhaps the most reprehensible action by the Bush

administration is the attempt to play on the fears of the American people to further its hawkish agenda.

At every

chance possible, George W. Bush attempts to establish a link in the minds of the American people between the events of Sept. 11 and the Iraqi government. There is simply no evidence that such a link existed, and Bush deeply undermines the case for war when he compels Americans to

infer that such a link exists. If war ensues, however, it’s not hard to conceive that we will kill far more innocents than died on Sept. 11.

Academic institutions in the United States need to examine how the United States can promote peace and reduce terrorism by becoming a better global citizen—not by a “might

makes right” ethos. The Chronicle’s endorsement of this war is simply shameful to our academic community.

The greatest incentive of all is the big Kurian paycheck waiting at the end of the tunnel, The Pen is Mightier just beyond the Duke degree. In general, pre-med students are no different—just like the multitudes of students who think that law and business are the only other viable career options.

College is the place where students should be debating life’s greatest questions. We have all been given a tremendous opportunity to study at one of the finest institutions in the nation, yet Duke students continually hesitate to engage the material they learn beyond the graded confines of the classroom.

Undoubtedly, many of these incentives are necessary: People need to pay bills. The powerful American middleclass ethic has a firm grounding on this campus. For very wealthy students, itis an ethic of self-preservation and status; for the not-so-wealthy students, it is one of intense desire to have things they did not growing up. These are both completely understandable and viable motivations.

I believe cautiously in capitalism insofar as it can efficiently provide goods and services to the people that desire them most. However, I do question what capitalism’s incentivized ethic has done to students. Arguably throwing away centuries of tried and true economic theory, I think that Duke students are cheating themselves by modeling theneducations after some predefined destiny that is supposedly in their self-interest. Duke obviously has an interest in the perpetuation of this set-up, as the next graduating class will be the next generation of wealthy alumni. Why else would orientation make it seem as if the only worthy career goals for Duke students are medicine, law and business?

Our incentivized education permeates undergraduate life at Duke, focusing students on grades, highest starting *

salaries and future comforts rather than wrestling with the difficult concepts and issues that arise in class, the same ones that will stay with us throughout fife after Duke. It is no wonder that something like one in six Duke undergraduates is an economics major. However, the job market for products and services should not be the sole determinant of our educations. We should not let the value that the market sets on majors and careers be the sole influence of our decision-making on what majors and careers are valuable.

Surely the study of philosophy or literature is just as worthy as a double major in electrical engineering and computer science. But for a substantial number of students reading this sentence, the previous statement is laughable.

What does this conscious reliance on the market to define what is valuable say about the state of our society today?

Theologian Paul Tillich wrote a book entitled “The Courage To Be,” in which he advocates that we must develop the courage to choose ethical principle over our own comfort, “affirming our own being in spite of those elements of our existence which conflict with our essential self-affirmation.” A vast majority of the college experience consists of choosing if we want to follow our principles and passions or if we want to take the “easy” way out, the way that may be highly profitable in the short term but likely to leave us unfulfilled in the grand scheme oflife.

For the most part, college students feel the need to five lives of comfort because it is easier. We can put off engaging, difficult conversations with our peers and trade them for a monotonous diet of sex and booze. It’s so much easier to drown our problems in euphoria than actually spend time contemplating the deepest problems our world faces, perhaps even risking our own mental well-being. Yet all the while, we avoid facing these struggles that should truly define a college education. We put off finding what truly motivates us to get out of bed each morning, always sacrificing that ideal to make someone else happy.

Consider this fact: The cost of an undergraduate education at Duke (valued at approximately $160,000) could feed 100 people in many South African townships three meals a day for nearly 40 years. Think about that the next time you or your parents make your bursar payment. Although the market may determine salaries once students leave Duke, it cannot quantify individual happiness, and we must refuse to let the market be the sole dictate of our futures.

Great events unite campus On March Clinton George 19, and Parliament/Funkadelic will be playing on Duke’s Campus.

For more than two decades, George Clinton has been the pioneer of the funk movement, and his music has influenced artists in such diverse areas as R&B, alternative and electronic music.

His stage act is one that many of today’s performers strive to emulate. His music has brought thousands of people from dif-

ferent backgrounds together over the years. And, unfortunately, less than a Yal quarter of Duke’s undergraduate student Htrchhpra population will be able to see him.

Over the past few years, “diversity” TALing It Like It Is has been a go-to word by those in charge of our student life here at Duke. When all sophomores were made to live on West Campus, it was with the hope of increasing “diversity.” The new plans for a Duke “village” most certainly ring-

our school should be able to attract some of the great artists, speakers and performers of our time. I asked a few people who attended graduation two years ago who was the guest speaker, and no one could remember. At the time, there was a bit of a controversy over the prominence ofthe speaker, and this year, only two years later, we have Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations, speaking at graduation. It is this type of attitude that should be used in attracting other individuals whose music or speech or performance would be the connection for those real life experiences I speak of, especially at a time when

on-campus happenings are lacking.

I’m not saying that it takes famous people for our student body to talk to each other. It definitely shouldn’t be the rank of a performer that determines the amount of support they get. But we pay enough tuition, and places such as Cameron have been used in the past to draw the biggest crowds at our -school. Look at the last few performers at of hopes of increasing interaction between people of differLast Day of Classes, compare them to the acts playing at ent backgrounds. And the administration loves to talk of other schools at our level and you expect better.

Hajj

a

manifestation of human equality

Yesterday, some two million Muslims ended their pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca. Hajj is a tribute to the patriarch of the monotheistic religions— Abraham. Bom to a father who made idols and raised in a society which pracidolatry, ticed Abraham searched B for one God and submitted to His will so

. when God asked him zlz to sacrifice his beloved son Ishmael (who was replaced by a lamb from heaven), he submitted unconditionally. So pleased with Abraham’s devotion, God preserved his story in the Quran and made his tradition an obligation for the believing Muslims for all times.

Aside from its religious significance, hajj is also a great manifestation of human equality where Muslims of all colors, races and socioeconomic backgrounds stand and pray together as human beings in front of their God. It was this equality and diversity at hajj that so impressed Malcolm X that he said in a letter from Mecca to his assistant in Harlem, ‘You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-pat*

terns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions..., During the past 11 days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass and slept on the same rug—while praying to the same

God—with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond and whose skin was the whitest of white.

And in the words and in the deeds of the white Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana.” The diversity at hajj that impressed Malcolm X is also a testament to the social equality inherent in Islamic ethics.

Although throughout history the victors always fettered free individuals of the defeated nation in shackles of slavery, it is an irrefutable fact that among the civilizations of the world, Muslim polity was the first to give rights to slaves and facilitate their transition to mainstream society, even though it did not ban the practice. On the contrary, many other

civilizations failed to do so; such cases abound, dating from the ancient Egyptians’ enslavement of the children of Israel to the Romans whose sociopolitical system depended on slavery to the Hindu society where lower castes (untouchables) were and are treated in sub-human manner to slavery among the preIslamic Arabs to the “enlightened” Europeans who enslaved millions of Africans in the worst type of bondage the world has ever seen.

Islam introduced the reformation in the institution of slavery by providing incentives for the believers in manumission and by changing the

nature of master-slave relationship.

The Quran described freeing the bondman as part of following the “steep” path, or the difficult path of

virtue (90:13). In another verse God says, “Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good to parents, kinsfolk... and what your right hands possess [slaves]: For Allah loves not the arrogant, the vainglorious” (4:36). Muhammad (pbuh) said that those whom you call your slaves are also your brothers. God has put them under you so feed them what you eat yourself, clothe them in what you wear yourself and do not load them with work too heavy and if you do then assist Furthermore, them it. in Muhammad (pbuh) said that no master should say “my slave” rather say “my man,” when referring to those under him. Similarly, a slave should not call his owner “my master/lord”; rather, say “my guardian,” thus restoring lost human dignity among humans. As a consequence of these and many other laws, slavery in Islamic society was phased out during early years of governance.

Not only was the institution of slavery greatly undermined in Islamic lands, the prevalence of racial and ethnic discrimination also diminished. Islam reformed societies starting from the individuals.

Without such deep-rooted change in the attitudes of people, Muslims could not have become as diverse a group as they are and be able to develop societies where multiple ethnicities coexisted. Hajj is a snapshot of this Muslim diversity and a symbol of Islam’s tolerance.
