Parental leave policy extended to staff

Ludacris to make Cameron crazy by

Ludacris will get plenty of Duke’s “southern hospitality” Sept. 24, as the good-times rapper has agreed to grace the stage of Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first major concert there in almost a decade.

In an effort to help staff members in both work and family life, the University announced in early August a new parental leave benefit for staff members, which will take effect Sept. 1.

Under the new policy, eligible staff members who are considered the primary caregivers in their families will be provided three weeks of base pay when they take time off of work for the birth or adoption of a child.

Paul Grantham, director XSjy. of communications for Duke Human Resources, said the paid parental leave kicks in only after the new parent has used three weeks of vacation or sick time, but that the next three weeks are fully paid according to the employee’s regularly scheduled hours of work.

Previously, University employees had to use vacation or sick time to receive pay for their time off. Ifthey wanted more time off than was provided through vacation and sick time, they had to forego their paychecks for the additional days.

“We are delighted to be able to provide this support for Duke families,” President Nan Keohane wrote in an e-mail. “We hope to demonstrate in this way that we understand the importance of parenting, and make it a bit easier to combine career and family.”

The new benefit stems from Keohane’s Women’s Initiative, which she launched last year to study and respond to issues -7

Duke University Union President Jonathan Bigelow said the University has secured an “airtight” oral agreement with the Atlanta-based rapper, known for such hits as “What’s Your Fantasy,” “Area Codes” and “Act a Fool.” His next album, Chicken and Beer, will hit stores next month, roughly coinciding with the concert.

Despite the rapper’s profane lyrics and occasional bouts with controversy, Bigelow said Ludacris’s immense popularity among college students and boisterous persona make him an ideal choice.

“Ludacris offers a major attraction, with a fresh option from traditional college rock availability,” Bigelow said. “Ludacris plays the type of music that Duke doesn’t see a lot of.”

Tickets are not yet on sale, but Bigelow said prices will be $2O in advance for Duke students, who will have the first right of refusal on prime seating. Total capacity will be about 4,500 for the concert, and Bigelow expects a mixture of stuSEE LUDACRIS ON PAGE 14

Duke drops to No. 5 in U.S. News rankings Princeton Review ranks Duke 3rd in overall academic experience by

Andrew Collins

THE CHRONICLE

Duke slipped one notch in this year’s U.S. News and World Report college rankings, placing fifth but remaining tied with the California Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which had been lumped in with that group last year, stayed at fourth and pushed

the others down. Harvard University joined Princeton University at number one after finishing tied with Yale University last year as runner-up.

Provost Peter Lange welcomed Duke’s high ranking but urged prospective students to use caution in interpreting the U.S. News survey.

‘This is wonderful recognition for our faculty, programs and students, who are arriving back on campus to begin a new semester,” he said. “As much as we welcome such news, we recognize the limitations of these kinds of surveys and urge high school students and their families to use them as only one factor in deciding where to apply

to college. So much about a university experience is difficult to quantify, and every student needs to decide which university is right for him or her.”

U.S. News worked to refine its ranking methodology this year. The rankings no longer factor in yield—the ratio of admits to applicants—which previously accounted for 1.5 percent of a school’s ultimate rank. Getting rid of yield could have helped Duke, which has fewer students accept its offer of admission than other top-10 schools.

Duke was noted for five “programs to

Investigation into U.N. bombing in Baghdad continues by

Dexter Filkins

NEW YORKTIMES NEWS SERVICE

U.S. investigators BAGHDAD, Iraq looking into the deadly bombing of the United Nations compound Tuesday are focusing on the possibility that the attackers were assisted by Iraqi security guards who worked there, a senior U.S. official here said yesterday.

The U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said all of the security

guards at the compound were agents of the Iraqi secret services, to whom they regularly reported on U.N. activities before the war.

The United Nations continued to employ the guards after the war was over, the official said.

The official said when investigators began questioning the guards, two of them asserted that they were entitled to “diplomatic immunity” and refused to cooperate.

Diplomats working in foreign countries are

often entitled to immunity from prosecution by local authorities, but the official said the two guards could make no such claim.

The investigators are continuing to interrogate the guards, the official said.

“We believe the U.N.’s security was seriously compromised,” the official said, adding that “we have serious concerns about the placement of the vehicle” and the timing of the attack. The bomb exploded directly under the third-floor office of the U.N. coordinator for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello, while he was meeting with a prominent American human rights advocate, Arthur Helton. Both men were killed, along with several top aides to Vieira de Mello.

In New York, a U.N. official reacted skeptically to the assertions. “All of us are trying to get to the bottom of this,” said Fred Eckhard, spokesperson for the secretary-general, Kofi Annan. “In fact, the sec-

retary-general is sending his security coordinator to Baghdad this evening to investigate the bombing. But the task is not made easier by the conspiracy theories circulating. We’ll have to separate as best we can fact from speculation.”

No one connected to the U.N. office in Baghdad, which was demolished in the bombing, could be reached for comment.

The United Nations had a large presence in Iraq before the war, running the oil-forfood program and housing teams of weapons inspectors.

The U.S. official said investigators were trying to determine which, if any, of the guards failed to report to work the day of the attack. Even before the war, the government of Saddam Hussein was widely known to assign its intelligence agents to guard and guide foreigners who were visiting or living in the country.

Suspicions have focused on the guards rather than other local U.N. personnel because their links to Saddam’s security service were close. Under the former regime, they had to report to the security service once a week on the activities of U.N. personnel, Western officials said.

Even so, U.N. administrators retained the guards after Saddam’s government was removed. U.S. officials said earlier this week that the administrators had also turned down a U.S. offer to provide greater security around the building.

The U.S. official also questioned the wisdom ofU.N. officials who ordered the construction of a cement wall around the compound. In some places, he pointed out, the wall was just 12 feet from the building.

Tensions have repeatedly flared between the United States and the United Nations over Iraq.

Capitol Hill reacts to Davis'California television address by

ERICA WERNER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Gov. Gray Davis called the recall effort part of a wider attempt to “steal elections Republicans cannot win,” evoking the impeachment offormer President Bill Clinton and Florida’s 2000 presidential election fiasco.

In a speech televised statewide Tuesday, the first major address of his political fight for survival, Davis defiandy told Californians that he makes no apologies for his actions as governor. He said he inherited the state’s energy crisis and that its budget woes were part of an American economy that has “tanked.”

“For the next seven weeks, my highest priority is to do the Job you elected me to do, but make no mistake... I will fight this recall and the right-wing forces behind it,”

Davis said.

In Washington, Democratic party leaders were closely watching the polls Wednesday to see if Davis’ address succeeded in reversing the governor’s declining support.

Democrats are united against the recall but split on whether to back an alternative candidate. The top choice would likely be Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who recent polls show neck-and-neck with Republican actor Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leading replacement candidates.

A senior party official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Wednesday that Davis has until shortly after Labor Day to shore up his support; otherwise, Democratic leaders will begin signaling their support for Bustamante. Another party official said Davis is having trouble raising money.

Democratic Party chair Terry McAuliffe is sending former Clinton White House spokesperson Ann Lewis to California this week to head up the party’s communications strategy for the recall.

Hours before Davis’ speech, Bustamante, who has billed himself as the safety vote to keep a Democrat in office should

Davis be ousted, offered a one-page “tough love” budget blueprint. The plan borrows many of the embatded governor’s rejected budget ideas, calling for raising taxes on cigarettes and higher taxes on high-income residents.

Two top Republican contenders planned to discuss their ideas for reviving the state’s economy Wednesday.

Schwarzenegger, who has avoided publicly discussing his stand on the issues, planned to speak at an economic summit attended by high-profde advisers, including billionaire investor Warren Buffett. He also planned to begin airing campaign ads.

Duke family killed in July plane crash From staff reports Twelve members of the Brumley family, which has had close ties to the University for many years, died when their plane crashed into a mountain in Kenya July 19.

Two South African pilots were also killed.

“The Duke community is deeply saddened by this terrible news from Kenya,” President Nan Keohane said in a statement. “Five of the 14 persons on board the plane were graduates of the University; they had all maintained close ties and contributed to Duke in many ways. Their lives were filled with professional achievement, commitment to family, service to society and a spirit of generosity. Our hearts go out to the family and friends ofall those who were lost in this unspeakable tragedy.”

Sixty-eight-year-old Dr. George Brumley Jr., Trinity ’56, was a former co-director of the Division of Perinatal Medicine at the Duke University Medical Center. He began a long affiliation with the University as an undergraduate before proceeding onto the School ofMedicine and then Joining the Duke faculty in 1966. Dr. Brumley founded the medical school’s Division of Neonatology in 1972 and served at Duke until 1981, when he became chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University. He was the winner of a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Duke medical school.

His wife, 67-year-old Jean Stanback Brumley, Women’s College ’5B, was a fellow Duke alumna and originally from Salisbury, N.C. She worked as an elementary school teacher in Durham before she and her husband moved to Atlanta, and was active in a number of charitable and civic organizations.

Three of the Brumleys’ children died on board: George, 42, Elizabeth, 41, and Lois, 39.

George 111, MBA ’B6, lived in Chapel Hill. He was chairman and CEO of Oak Value Capital Management, a Durham investment management firm he SEEBRUMLEYS ON PAGE 12

Community standard debuts

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

As students funneled

out

of the Chapel Thursday af-

ternoon, they were asked, per tradition, to pledge to up-

hold honor at the University. This year, however, marks the first year the incoming class put their names to the new Duke Community Standard, which replaces the former undergraduate honor code this fall.

During Thursday’s convocation, the Class of 2007 was reminded repeatedly of the University’s expectations.

President Nan Keohane cautioned students to remember their personal dignity and Duke Honor Council Chair Robert McDonald reminded them that “the foundation of this University does not lie on the gothic stones before us, but within its students and faculty.”

The Community Standard has three main differences from the old honor code, which was established in 1993.

First, it strengthens the honor code’s “non-toleration clause,” which required students to report incidents of academic dishonesty but did not require students to name the offenders. Now, students are expected to cite specifically the student they are accusing, if known.

Judith Ruderman, vice provost of academic and administrative services, said this policy will be essential to the judicial process in cases ofacademic dishonesty, as the

accuser can be more readily called upon as a witness during the judicial process. Although the accuser will not be forced to testify, the entire process will be more open because the accuseid will know exacdy who accused him, Ruderman said.

The Community Standard also provides the possibility for one-time mediation for minor, first-time offenses.

Under the old honor code, academic dishonesty cases always went directly to the judicial system. Now, however, a faculty member who learns of a student’s dishonesty but judges the infraction to be minor may settle the matter with the student outside the judicial system.

The Dean of Students Office will still monitor the system and will keep a record of the mediation process, but the offense will not go on the student’s permanent record.

Ruderman said this aspect of the Community Standard encourages more student-faculty interaction—an element she said was essential for the University to truly work under a self-governing honor code system.

The third major change from the old honor code involves the punishments doled out after an incident of academic dishonesty. Previously, students were punished

THE CHRONICLE

When Duke students think of summer

internships, they usually think of working in D.C. with policy, in New York City with media and advertising or at a technology or pharmaceutical company. There are even numerous grants and fellowships students can apply to to help fund these summer adventures. This past summer, however, the Chapel sponsored the Pathways Program, a different sort of intern-

ship altogether.

This was the inaugural summer for the eight-week long program, an internship that placed nine Duke Students at positions in local churches and faith-based non-profit organizations. The program is funded by a five year grant the Chapel received from the Lily Foundation and is designed to help undergraduates discern their vocation as it relates to their faith.

"People in their campus fellowships

The Office of Information Technology recently unleashed ePrint, which University officials say should make printing in OIT computer labs quicker, easier and more eco-friendly.

In the weeks between the end of Summer Session Term II and the arrival of students for the fall semester, OIT installed print release stations next to the printers in all of the PC and Mac labs. Jen Vizas, manager of Academic Technology Services, which oversees OlT’s computer labs, said the Unix labs will soon have release stations as well.

Each release station consists of a monitor, card swipe and mouse.

When a student wishes to print a document, he must enter his NetlD when sending the document from his computer and

lects the document he wants to print from a list of print jobs, which are available in the ePrint system for 12 hours.

“This solution should reduce the amount of time a student spends at the printer sifting through paper to find their document and cuts down on paper waste,” Vizas said.

She added that ePrint allows students to print to any OIT lab or quad printer from their residence halls or wireless laptops once they have downloaded the appropriate client software.

OlT’s ePrint system uses Pharos Systems’ Uniprint software, which can track, monitor, measure, route and optionally charge for network printing.

help Durham keep the faith

get their spiritual formation there, but Pathways is a program that will take them out into the community to carry out social justice ministries and the sharing of the Gospel," said Reverend Regina Henderson, the program’s director. The program is away for students to explore different types of Christian ministry from being a full-time pastor to running a community service center she explained.

About two dozen churches and community organizations were invited to apply to receive interns from the program. Reverend Henderson then worked with the student interns to find an organization that fit the students’ interests in ministry.

Ultimately, five churches and four faithbased non-profits were assigned interns from the program, which satisfied the nine interns who wanted to participate.

The churches and non-profits applied to receive interns mostly because they wanted to provide Duke students with the opportunity to work in the type of min-

istry they provide.

“I’m a Duke Divinity alumnus and I remember it was hard to find field placements in a Pentecostal church when I was a student,” said Reverend Herbert Davis of the Nehemiah Christian Center. “I wanted to create that type of opportunity for current Duke students.”

Some students applied because they felt they had been called to ministry but did not know what kind specifically. Others applied out of a desire to learn how their faith can be an active part of their careers.

Tve always thought of ministry as being a pastor at a church,” said Kori Jones, a Trinity Junior who interned at Durham Urban Ministries. “I learned you can do ministry in other ways than being a pastor, in taking time to talk with someone, to smile and wave here and there. It’s the little stuff that’s very important.”

The interns lived in graduate student apartments on central campus. They ate meals together regularly and participated

in group activities such as a Durham Bulls game, bowling and a climb to the top of the Chapel. During the week, they were expected to work 30 to 35 hours at their internship sites. The work they did ranged from answering phones and folding church bulletins to planning fund raising events and giving sermons on Sunday mornings. On Wednesday nights, the interns would gather to reflect on what they were learning in their internships and in their spiritual lives.

“It surprised me how these students of different denominations could live together and have theological discussions where they agreed to disagree while still building a close community,” said Reverend Henderson.

“We had people working in Episcopalian, Methodist, Pentecostal and Presbyterian churches as well as non-profits. This made our discussions interesting with the SEE INTERNS ON PAGE 10

Vizas said OIT should know within the first couple weeks of ePrint’s operation how much paper the system

PRINTERS from page 4 Vizas said the software is used widely throughout colleges and universities.

Although some students said they were worried that the University could start tracking and charging for students’ print jobs, Vizas said OIT is not planning on monitoring student printing at this time. “We have the capacity to do that, but we’re just trying to increase services right now,” she said. “People will be able to move quicker, and they won’t be waiting on people who monopolize all the printers at one time.”

Vizas said students have generally reacted in favor of the new ePrint system. Junior Vivian Wang said the new system is not only convenient but also “environmentally conscious.”

“Before, when people printed, lots of papers would get left in the tray because students couldn’t find what they printed,” Wang said. “Now it keeps track of what you print. So it increases individual awareness, which

will save. She noted that some universities have saved anywhere from 20 to 40 percent after switching to Uniprint.

However, Vizas emphasized that ePrint’s primary aim is not environmental preservation. ‘The main reason we did this is increased services and selectability in print loca-

tions,” she said. “Before, you could only send jobs to one printer. If there was no paper in that printer, you would have to go back and reprint, which could be a hassle if you had already closed the window you were working with.

Now, you can just go to another release station and swipe your card.”

Still, some students were wary of the new system. Junior Michael Mahdi said ePrint was “more tedious than anything else” and that it could be a hassle for students in a rush.

Vizas said ATS is now looking to work more with Duke Office Products to allow students access to high-end printing. Eventually, she said, students may be able to send print jobs to Devil’s Duplicates, where they can have their documents printed and even bound. ePrint could also turn up elsewhere on campus, such as in the main part of Perkins Library, where students often print papers off e-reserves. This transition would not go through ATS, however, as Vizas’ office deals only with OIT computer labs.

under a two-semester suspension policy.

Now, punishments will be tailored more to the severity of a student’s infraction.

Although the new Community Standard may be most prevalent in the classroom, advocates of the new policy insist that it can and must be applied to all aspects of a student’s life at the University.

Avery Reaves, Duke Student Government vice president of academic affairs, said the honor code that students have been signing since 1993 fell short of those codes from schools with historically strong systems of academic integrity'.

‘The code was given due lip service but was in practicality seen as clumsy and peripheral, as President Keohane has described it, to students’ day-to-day lives here at Duke,” Reaves said. “At Duke we seek not to build simply a community of great to violate “the very principle on which our scholars but also a community of great citizens, in their years here and in their lives community is dependent,” and the new to follow.” freshmen have already promised to uphold Ruderman said the exact wording of that principle by signing their names to the the Community Standard was a topic of Community Standard. But that is certainly much discussion over the last year, as adnot the last they will hear ofit. ministrators wanted students to uphold The Duke Honor Council will present the standard in their non-academic the Community Standard again during spheres as well. first-year orientation. Throughout the “Last year, we hounded the faculty to school year as well, Ruderman and talk to their classes about the honor Reaves said they plan to expose students code,” Ruderman said. “We worded the to the new standard by encouraging facCommunity Standard to make sure that ulty to go over it in their syllabi and even students knew exactly what was expected giving smaller group presentations in resof them.

different perspectives in the group,” said senior Adam Hollowed, who interned at Reconciliation United Methodist Church, a multi-cultural and multi-racial church.

The program seems to have been uplifting for both the internship supervisors and student-interns.

“It was wonderful that we received a student willing to work with our program and not only that, but one who Was willing to contribute uniquely,” said Reverend Larry Johnson of Reconciliation. “Every summer we do a multi-racial camp and in addition to the kids having fun, Adam thought it would be good if the kids contributed to the community through service as well. So we took the kids to a nursing home and volunteered for a few hours.”

Jones said the internship was a good fit for her because it was away of combining several aspects of her life. “I worked mostly with the kids and I can see myself in teaching as a,ministry now. I’m interested in education and ministry so this was the best of both worlds.”

Though the grant from the Lily Foundation is only for five years, the long term continuation of the Chapel Pathways Program has become a goal of the Chapel congregation. “The program reaches students’ spiritual needs and is filling a void in the Chapel life at Duke,” said Reverend Henderson.

“I think most students will take [the Community Standard] seriously,” said Josh Posen, an incoming freshman from Toronto. “Especially after signing it, people who are tempted to cheat might think, T already committed not to.”’

Others, however, said they thought the Community Standard would have little practical effect. “If you were going to cheat in the first place, you still would, regardless of the Community Standard,” said Caitlin Vandevander ofSilver Springs, Md. “There’s a lot of pressure to sign the code when you come out of the Chapel because everyone’s signing it anyways, so it might not mean a lot.”

Los Angeles native Peter Moon struck the middle ground; “It might not be feasible, but it’s still good to have it, at least formally,” he said.

RANKINGS

watch” by the magazine: first-year experiences, undergraduate research and creative projects, learning communities, study-abroad programs and writing in the disciplines.

Elsewhere in the state, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill dropped a notch to 29th, and North Carolina State University was 84th, as U.S. News expanded its ranking beyond the top 50 for the first time.

In addition to the perennially popular U.S. News survey, another major player in the college prep business released its rankings this week.

The Princeton Review’s list of the top 20 colleges in 63 categories, ranging from academics to extracurricular to quality of life, gave Duke more cause for celebration.

Duke made it onto seven lists, netting third place in “best overall academic experience for undergraduates.” According to The Princeton Review, Duke is a ‘jock school” where “students pack the stadiums.” Despite a “beautiful campus,” “town-gown relations are strained,” and there is “little race/class interaction.” It is also among the “toughest [schools] to get into.”

Duke placed in the top 20 in all those categories.

Although Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said he did not give the Princeton Review rankings too much credibility because he did not believe them to be scientifically valid, he acknowledged he was “flattered” that Duke scored third in overall academics.

Moneta said the rankings should be seen as amusement only, not used as a guide for administrators

gers at what their ranking is,” he said. ‘There’s no doubt that we talk about it, but I don’t talk about it in the sense that ‘That’s the way we’re going to measure our approach.’ I don’t use the rankings and I don’t use the indices that they measure on in any way.”

A significant change from recent years is that Duke is absent from the list of schools where “alternative lifestyles [are] not an alternative.” Last year, Duke was eleventh in this category, which is set up as the converse of the “gay community accepted” category. The University topped the list

in 1999.

“Duke has made strides in a number of areas since the 1999 number-one review and those strides have been made on every level,” said Karen Krahulik, director of the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life.

“Nearly every aspect of the University—from the president to administrators and faculty to straight students, gay students and all students in between—a number of people at Duke have been trying to make the campus more comfortable for people who practice an alternate way of living.”

Although Krahulik, too, disparages the survey’s statistical invalidity, she said it is important for the University to do well because prospective students pay close attention to the rankings.

“I know there are students who choose not to come to Duke because we’ve been on that list,” she said. “My hope is more students who would choose an alternative lifestyle will see Duke as a comfortable place in which to make that choice.”

Other acts that were considered for the concert but abandoned because of scheduling issues were Bob Dylan and a combined set of Ben Harper and G-Love and Special Sauce, said senior Dylan Ashbrook, chair of major attractions for the Union.

Early fall is typically inconvenient for rock acts because summer tours are just ending and winter tours are yet to get underway.

Budgetary constraints and the needs of the athletic department also influenced the Union’s decision, Ashbrook said.

Bigelow acknowledged that security would be a major consideration for the Ludacris concert, and that it would have been “virtually impossible” for the rapper to perform outdoors on a quadrangle—for instance, on the Last Day of Classes.

Pardy owing to this worry, some administrators were querulous when they heard that Ludacris would be performing on campus.

Who? Who? was Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta’s reaction, he said. “Then I consulted my expert on all such matters, my 22-year-old daughter, who said, ‘They’re a cool hip-hop “We’re dealing with administrawho are by and large middleaged, who don’t listen to this type of music,” Bigelow said. “There

were some people who had no idea who Ludacris was. Everyone had security concerns.... A lot of those concerns translated into specific security measures [which are still

being negotiated].”

A successful and safe concert could portend a return to the musical glory days of Cameron, which last hosted a major concert in 1996. The athletic department’s decision to reopen the venerable arena to bands came in 2002, after a long-standing moratorium on concerts due to the availability of the stadium, protection for its new floor and overall expense.

Now, Bigelow and others are trying to restore Cameron’s musical reputation.

“When I hear that James Madison University brought Ludacris and is able to bring musical acts in their large venues, it’s a shame that Duke hasn’t been able to do this for the last few years,” he said.

Icons of the 1960s and 1970s like the Grateful Dead, Dylan and Bruce Springsteen all packed the house to make Cameron one of the prime venues in North Carolina, but a combination of scheduling difficulties and the arrival of newer, larger stadiums in the Triangle had made Cameron an afterthought, at best, for most major bands.

Ludacris may lack the classic rock pedigree of the Dead and Dylan, but his live show is described by Ashbrook in the timeless language of popular music.

“He’s exciting, he’s loud—it’s going to be awesome.”

PARENTAL LEAVE among women at the University. Grantham said the policy is a direct result of the 15-member Women’s Initiative Steering Committee’s efforts to garner feedback from women across Duke. Still, he noted that Keohane herself was instrumental in the change.

“Most organizations offer a parental benefit tied to a short-term disability, which means it’s only accessible to the birth mother,” Grantham said. “Ours is accessible to people giving birth and adopting, and it’s accessible to mothers as well as fathers. [Keohane] made it pretty clear that parenting is not a disability and that parental leave should be something that is broadly accessible to the Duke community.”

Donna Lisker, director of the Women’s Center and a member of the Women’s Initiative Steering Committee, said the new benefit is a great improvement over the previous policy. “Unpaid leave is impractical for most people, and not everyone has a large balance of sick and vacation leave,” she wrote in an e-mail. “These three weeks, fully

paid, are a great way to stretch the time new parents have with their children.”

Lisker added that the benefit is not exclusively for women. “It helps primary caregivers, regardless of gender, and it helps families in general,” she wrote.

Keohane’s announcement of the new benefit Aug. 11 has met an overwhelmingly positive reaction from staff members who have or are expecting children, officials said.

Deirdre Gordon, program director for the Divinity School and a member of the steering committee for Parents@Duke, a group that advocates for rights for Duke employees that are parents, lauded the new policy as one of the University’s first commitments to staff members that considers both work and home life.

“It recognizes that Duke employees are more than somebody who sits in a chair and works all day,” she said.

Among those who will benefit from the new staff benefit is Julie Pruitt, program coordinator for Duke University Health System’s ActivHealth. Pruitt, who is 12 weeks pregnant, said she was worried about her parental leave before the new policy was announced.

“I felt guilty about using a lot of my sick time when my

husband was hospitalized unexpectedly last year. I wouldn’t be able to spend that time with my baby,” she said.

Pruitt said she could only have taken six weeks off with pay under the old policy, which she felt would have forced her to leave her baby at home when he was still too young. The alternative—taking an unpaid leave in order to get a full 12 weeks at home—was also a very difficult option. Under the new policy, however, she will be able to take nine weeks off with pay and hopes to work part time until she can resume as a full-time employee after 12 weeks.

Gordon noted, however, that there are a few things Parents@Duke would like clarified about the new benefit. For example, she said the group would like to learn more about the rationale behind the requirement that the employee be the “primary caregiver” for the new child.

“Right now, if both parents of the child work at Duke, one person has to be designated as the primary caregiver, but if one parent works at Duke and one parents works elsewhere, both can take a leave,” she said. ‘There may be a very logical reason behind this policy, but we’re just not aware of it right now, so it’s something we would like clarified in the future.”

Gordon added that there are still many discrepancies between the faculty and the staff policy, and that the University should continue to look at making parental benefits more consistent for people who work at the University. Under the parental leave benefit for faculty, new parents can take a full semester off for the birth or adoption of a child.

Grantham said it is difficult to compare the faculty and staff parental leave benefits because faculty do not receive vacation time, which staff members can use toward their time off as new parents.

Namely, a gold medal and the Robert F. Cox Women’s Amateur trophy.

The rising Duke senior captured the 2003 U.S. Golf Amateur championship Aug. 10, with an impressive 2 and 1 victory over 16-year-old Jane Park in the 36-hole match play finals at the Philadelphia Country Club.

It was the first-ever Amateur championship by a Duke player, and the Thailand-native’s second major title: She won the NCAA Individual Championship in 2001 as she guided the Blue Devils to their second team tide.

“I knew I had the game all along to play with the pros,” Nirapathpongpom said.

“But I had to show the mental toughness.

I did that this week.”

Nirapathpongpom used a stellar putting game and tight short iron play to outdistance a feisty Park, who showcased a prowess ofher own on the greens to keep the match close throughout.

The two traded leads through the first 18-holes, with the Blue Devil taking a 2-up lead into the afternoon. She won the 19th hole, but then dropped three of the next

I wantKris Humphries to come to Cameron so I can directly ask him—or someone very close to him—why he abandoned his National Letter of Intent to play basketball at Duke in order to enroll at Minnesota, and why the National Letter of Intent Steering Committee accepted his appeal to allow him to compete in the 2005D4 season. Asking him in person is the only journalistic method available, as Humphries and his supporters have been nothing but evasive throughout one ofthe strangest ordeals in recent Duke basketball history.

Humphries’ history with the Blue Devils.

Humphries, a ballyhooed 6-foot-8,240 pound recruit from Minnesota, verbally committed play for Duke in the summer of 2002.

Verbal commitments are not binding, and a player can change his mind about which school to attend without any punishment from the NCAA. But in November Humphries was temporarily true to his word, and signed with Duke. Humphries seemed happy with his decision, and made no qualms when his Hopkins High School basketball team played at Cameron in a 63-46 loss to St. Anthony’s (New Jersey) during a winter tournament held in the Triangle area last January. But in mid-May, Duke, on Humphries’ request, released the Minnesota native from his NationalLetter ofIntent.

The decision shocked nearly everyone, and no one involved had any explanation or analysis on what went wrong. NCAA rules prohibit Duke from commenting on the former Hopkins star, but the Humphrieses, along with their friends and family, deliberately chose not to explain themselves.

Byjune Humphries had decided to play at his father’s alma mater, the University of Minnesota. Although the storm appeared to be setding, Humphries continued to reveal nothing, telling the Associated Press his release from Duke would “remain private.”

Golden Gopher head coach Dan Monson made the unlikely claim that he too had not been enlightened on the extenuating circumstances that led to his departure from Duke. Monson was probably just relieved to replace sophomore Rick Rickert, who declared for the NBA draft although he was not ultimately selected. to

THE CHRONICLE

To a collegiate long-distance runner, the summer provides the only significant respite in a season that can extend from September through July. To a collegiate long-distance team, it is likewise a time ofrenewal, when a squad tries to use new recruits to fill the vacancies left by recent graduates.

In the upcoming cross country season, the women’s team will have to fill a sizable hole, as it will be competing without one of last season’s mainstays, 2003 USATF Junior Cross Country individual champion Clara Horowitz. Horowitz’s absence, likely the most troublesome cavity for coach Norm Ogilvie’s team this year, has less to do with graduation and more to do with two seemingly unrelated other factors: health problems and the 2004 Summer Olympics.

“She’s going to delay and redshirt for the fall,” Ogilvie said at a press conference earlier this week. “She’s got some health issues that she needs to resolve, if you get my drift.”

Later in the same press conference, Ogilvie mentioned Horowitz’s other reason for redshirting in the autumn. “[North Carolina star Shalane] Flanagan’s back for her last year of cross-country

and she’s not going to run track, to get ready for the Olympics,” Ogilvie noted. “Clara’s just doing the opposite thing, because the Olympic trials are next summer. Clara decided not to return to school in August, but it was a mutual decision on all involved.”

Ogilvie stressed that Horowitz, a native of Berkeley, Ca., intends to return to Duke in January and would again compete for the Blue Devils.

“We think it’s a good decision for her,” Ogilvie said. “Clara has every intention of running indoor and outdoor track, and trying to make the Olympic trials next July.”

The loss ofHorowitz for the upcoming season is only the most recent roster modification for the team. Ogilvie’s squad has lost Caroline Bierbaum (who transferred to Columbia) and Horowitz for the fall season, while gaining the services of former high school All-American Natasha Roetter, who will participate this fall after opting not to run competitively once arriving on campus last fall.

“We had five freshmen score in the ACC last year,” Ogilvie said, referring to Horowitz, Sally Meyerhoff, Bierbaum, Shannon Rowbury and Laura Stanley.

“And now three of those are back, and how do we get better?”

Neuheisel sues NCAA Former Washington foot-

ball coach Rick Neuheisel sued the Huskies and the NCAA Thursday, alleging that he was wrongfully terminatedfor his involvement in college basketball pools.

Sophomore Clara Horowitz plans to return to Duke in January to resume her running career.

The long, slow, deep, soft, wet joy of Bulls baseball

by Mike Corey THE CHRONICLE

It is perhaps the most celebrated movie line among baseball aficionados; a soliloquoy of sorts that encapsulates everything from love to sex to drinking to passion and, of course, America’s national pastime.

“Well, I believe in the soul...the small of a woman's back, the hanging curveball, high fiber, good scotch...that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, I believe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents on Christmas morning rather than on Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three nights It was delivered by one Crash Davis (played by Kevin Costner), in the film that Sports Illustrated recendy tabbed as the best sports movie of all time, Bull Durham. It was this movie that propelled the Bulls to national fame, making the ballclub the most recognizable minor league franchise in all ofAmerican sport.

The farm team for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Bulls have deep roots with Duke University, and their games have become a community event as they bring people together from all walks, balks and runs of life.

The Bulls, which won their first-ever International League (triple A) championship last season, are in the midst of ”

their 101st season of playing ball.

Founded in 1902 and originally called the Durham Tobacconists, the squad actually played its first game against Trinity College, which later evolved into Duke. The Tobacconists won the exhibition game, 8-5.

The ba;;c;ib disbanded until 1912 when it joined the North Carolina State League, and played its first game as the “Durham Bulls” on the Trinity College Campus, which is now the site of Duke’s East Campus.

In the years that would follow, the team’s popularity grew slowly—that is until the Bulls began cashing in after the success of Bull Durham in 1988.

The Bulls moved into their new ballpark in 1995 in front of 10,000 fans, a number which instigated an expansion of the stadium which was completed in 1998. The edifice is a diamond in the rough of sorts in Durham, made all the more enamored because of the recent success of the Bulls, and because of the mid-inning contests that involve and entertain fans ofall ages.

Currently, the Bulls are well on their way to defending their AAA Championship, as they are three games up in the South Division with a 68-60 ledger.

And even if the Bulls weren’t competitive, games would still be enjoyable, because of the welcoming and entertaining atmosphere that has become the norm in minor league baseball.

And if anything else, a fan can always pass the time at the ballpark reciting lines from the movie.

THE CHRONICLE

HIDAY. Al GIST 22.2003 Ilf9

Sports Briefs Compiled by Mike Corey Football The Blue Devils are extremely optimistic heading into the final week of preseason practice, with the many fifthyear seniors raising expectations higher on a daily basis.

However, the season ended early for freshmen cornerback, Cedric Mason, who suffered a serious injury to his left patella during the football team’s first hitting drills of the season last weekend.

“He's probably better off that this happened now," Duke coach Carl Franks said last Tuesday. “He's had a history of some problems with his kneecaps.”

Men’s Soccer In an exhibition game this past Monday, the Blue Devils survived a second-half surge to down East Carolina 5-2.

Junior Nigi Adogwa scored a hat-trick on the day, scoring the game’s first two goals to give Duke a 2-0 lead. Justin Trowbridge, in his second year starting in goal, made one save and allowed no goals in the first half of play.

In the second stanza, however, East Carolina put two quick scores past junior netminder Mark Valdez to knot the match at two. But Duke retaliated with two scores from freshman Josh Swank, and a final goal from Adogwa, to sink the Pirates.

“It's great to score goals,” Duke head coach John Rennie said Monday. “Scoring three goals after we were tied is a result of pure effort, fitness and heart. This team has a lot of those qualities. A lot of teams would have lost or settled for a tie after the game was tied. ECU came out in the second half with a lot ofenthusiasm and intensity. We didn't match that tonight. That's something we can work on.”

Duke travels to Connecticut Saturday for its final preseason game before beginning regular season competition at home against Liberty August 30.

A 6-0 shutout of UNC-Asheville marked the beginning of the 2003 season for the women’s soccer team in an exhibition match last Sunday. The young Blue Devils were led by its seven upperclassmen, as juniorLauren Simel scored the game’s first goal, and recorded an assist to senior Gwendolyn Oxenham, while junior Casey McCluskey added two goals ofher own en route to the victory.

Freshmen Lauren Tippets and Sarah McCabe closed

Women’s Basketball Tillis and Pam Am team pick up silver medal Cuba defeated the United States 75-64 in the gold medal game of the Pan American tournament August 9, marking the Cubans’ fifth victory over America in 18 days. Previously, the Cubans had downed the U.S. in three exhibition contests played in Havana, Cuba, and once in the Pan American tournament in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Duke senior Iciss Tillis scored three points and collected four rebounds in the loss.

Beard and USA Young Women grab gold Alana Beard poured in 12 points and grabbed six rebounds in leading the United States Young Women team to a 71-55 victory in the 2001 FIBA World Championships held in Sibenik, Croatia August 3. The win served as compensation for the Americans’ only loss in the competition, when Brazil upended the U.S. 73-60.

Beard, along with teammates Seimone Augustus (Louisiana State) and Christi Thomas (Georgia), were named to the five-member All-Tournament team.

Following the gold medal presentation, U.S. coach Jim Foster—who heads up OhioState’s basketball program—was very complimentary of the trio.

‘They had great character and Augustus and Thomas stepped up today, Beard was consistent defensively,” Foster said.

Both Beard and Tillis are on the Wooden Award’s preseason watch list which honors the nation’s top player.

WACO, Texas Scott Drew is leaving Valparaiso to take over the challenge of repairing a Baylor basketball program torn apart by the death of a player, the shamefilled resignation of coach Dave Bliss, a string of transfers and potentially strong NCAA violations.

Mike Oppland, a sophomore-to-be at Valparaiso, told The Associated Press Thursday night that Homer Drew called his family to tell them Scott Drew was going to Baylor and he was coming out of retirement to take his place.

“I was surprised (about Scott), but I guess I understand why he did it,” Oppland said. “When Homer retired or whatever, he said he was done with basketball. I guess, he figures he’s the best man to take over the program.”

Scott Drew is expected to be announced at a Baylor news conference Friday.

Baylor president Robert Sloan would not comment on Drew.

“We do not have a deal yet, but we’re working closely” with the search committee to hire someone soon, he said at an afternoon news conference.

Baylor spokesman Larry Brumley repeatedly said that a new coach had not been selected, even after being told by the AP of Oppland’s comments.

Houston television station KRTV, the Waco Tribune-Herald and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, all citing sources, reported Thursday that Drew was expected to be announced as the new coach on Friday.

Repeated calls to regents and search committee members were not returned.

Drew has only one year of head coaching experience, going 20-11 and reaching the NIT last season. He spent the nine previous seasons as an assistant to his father at Valparaiso. Their most memorable season was 1998, when they reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament with a team led by his brother, Bryce, who hit a miracle shot to beat Mississippi in the opening round that year.

At 32, Scott Drew is one of the youngest coaches in Division I. As an assistant to his father, he was known as a resourceful recruiter, having brought in many players from Europe, Africa and South America.

Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton resigned Aug. 8, the same day that Sloan said the school had placed itself on. a two-

year probation.

Baylor launched an internal inquiry in July into possible NCAA violations, after allegations surfaced of improper payments to players following Patrick Dennehy’s disappearance. Dennehy was found shot to death July 25, and former Baylor player Carlton Dotson remains in a Maryland jail awaiting extradition to Texas to face charges in the death.

The inquiry found that Bliss was directly involved in paying tuition costs and other expenses for Dennehy and another player. It also found that failed drug tests by players weren’t properly reported.

Since then, secretly recorded taped conversations of Bliss have shown he asked players to lie to investigators to try to portray Dennehy as a drug dealer.

Patrick Dennehy Sr. plans to sue the university, its former coach, regents and others, saying officials conspired to cover up information about his son’s death and concealed illegal activities within the athletic department, according to his attorneys.

The lawsuit, which is expected to be filed Friday in Harris County District Court, seeks at least $50,000 in damages. It also accuses officials of creating an “unsafe atmosphere” in the department, The Dallas Morning News reported in its online edition Thursday night, citing a draft of the lawsuit.

As part of its self-imposed penalty, Baylor won’t play in any postseason tournaments next season, including the Big 12 tournament. The school also offered every player to be released from their scholarships, allowing them to transfer to other schools. The NCAA on Wednesday said it would waive the one-year transfer period and let the players be eligible at their new schools immediately.

Junior center Lawrence Roberts, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder last season, transferred to Mississippi State. Junior guard Kenny Taylor said he is transferring to Texas, and incoming freshman center Tyrone Nelson instead enrolled at Prairie View A&M. Junior guard John Lucas 111 has also asked for his release, and the second-leading scorer has said he won’t return. Senior forward R.T. Guinn, sophomore forward Tommy Swanson and junior college transfer Harvey Thomas also asked for their releases.

“I’m thinking this can go anywhere," Park said. Tm feeling pretty good after I made the putt on [23].”

Nirapathpongporn then birdied the par-5 24th and 30th holes to secure a 2-up lead that she would not relinquish.

“I knew, ifI stayed focused on my game, I’m the best player,” Nirapathpongporn said. “And the best player wins.”

Although Duke head coach Dan Brooks was on hand to watch, Nirapathpongporn's father, Dr. Apichart Nirapathpongporn, who is suffering from leukemia, did not make the trip at her daughter’s urging. After securing the victory, an emotional Nirapathpongporn dedicated the win to her father.

Nirapathpongporn and Park each earned an exemption into the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open, providing they retain their amateur status—questionable for the Duke star, who could turn pro after next year’s NCAA championships, when Duke will once again be a favorite.

Earlier this summer, Nirapathpongporn lost 1 up in the 36-hole final to 13-year-old Michelle Wie at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links tournament, and missed the cut by one stroke at the U.S. Open, making the Amateur win even more satisfying.

She also finished third this week at the York Newspaper Company Futures Classic in Pennsylvania, behind winner and recent Blue Devil graduate Candy Hannemman.

Current teammates Lizjanangelo and Leigh Anne Hardin also competed in the Amateur. Hardin, a senior, did not make the match play cut of 64 players, while Janangelo was knocked out in the first round of match play.

The Associated Press contributed to this

There were only three speculative reasons tossed around about Humphries' departure: That he wanted a guarantee of significant playing time in order to quicken his route to the NBA, that Humphries wanted to play on the perimeter more dian the Duke coaching staff envisioned and that Humphries wanted to play closer to home.

The first two reasons, if true, are founded on poor logic. Any player that is ready to compete in the NBA would receive plenty' of floor time on a Duke squad, and Mike Krzyzewski has a solid history' of using his post players on the perimeter with the most glaring example being 1992 national player-of-the-year Christian Laettner.

And even if these were the reasons for his departure, they certainly are not the “extenuating circumstances” that the National Letter of Intent Steering Committee requires for instant eligibility. Normally when a player is released from a National Letter of Intent, he must sit out one season.

Creating a horrible precedent, The National Letter of Intent Steering Committee granted Humphries’ appeal, and he is all set to play for Minnesota this season. The Star Tribune in Minneapolis, Minn., reported that despite a lack of publicly known “extenuating circumstances,” Humphries said that he knew all along he would be able to play in the coming season.

“We knew awhile ago that it should be a for-sure [decision], but I didn’t want to publicly state it,” Humphries told the Associated Press in a story published July 22.

What I want to know—and what the Duke community deserves to know —is what else Humphries “knew awhile ago.”

Kris Humphries struggled while playing in Cameron Indoor this past January as a high school senior.

But despite his son’s silence, Humphries’ father, William, told the Indianapolis Star that he would eventually provide an explanation about Kris’ surprise decision.

“I told somebody yesterday, ‘Don’t you think it’s kind of strange that we haven’t made a comment concerning it?,”’ William Humphries said in May. ‘That’s because there’s more to the story. There’s a legiti-

Well, many a moon has passed since that statement, so I decided to give him a call. Mr. Humphries was busy, and politely gave me his wife’s phone number. But the elusiveness continued.

“I have no desire to comment on that,” Mrs. Humphries said.

Duke University Museum of Art Summer Exhibitions: “Brodsky and Utkin Prints” through September 7. Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin were born in Moscow in 1955, where they studied architecture together. Turning to pure ideas rather than the physical world, they became known as the “Paper Architects.” Their etchings of fantastic projects draw freely from the past, and were responses to the dehumanizing Soviet architecture that surrounded them.

They were leaders of the Moscow conceptualist movement of the 1980s.

Duke University Museum of Art Summer Exhibitions: “Dyshlenko Change of Situation” through October 26. Yuri Dyshlenko was born in 1936, spent 30 years in Leningrad before emigrating to New York in 1990; he died in 1995. His style was collage-like, an information age bombardment of visual data. He felt that all art is self referential for the viewer, a stimuli of the modern world seeking noise, the masses; like television and photographic advertising. The goal was the opposite of pop art to capture visual cliches, a monument of the Soviet myth of the American lifestyle.

THE CHRONICLE

301 FF\IDAY, AUGUST 22, 2003

The Chronicle

The Independent Daily at Duke University

Housing changes New housing policy will hold offenders accountable for living agreement violations As the most recent alteration to Duke’s ever-morphing housing policy, beginning this fall, students who are kicked off campus for housing.violations will be required to pay the full amount of their contracts through the end of the academic year. Essentially, delinquent students will not only lose their housing privilages, but could owe the

university up to several thousand dollars in payments.

In the past, students asked to leave campus were charged only for the time they actually spent living in university accomodations. The remaining balance of their housing contracts were paid for indirectly by their classmates. The administration’s rationale in adopting the new system is that only the offending individuals should be made to bear the cost of their infractions.

Housing officials are also depending on the new punishment plan to act as a powerful deterrent. They hope that it will prevent students from dilberately violating housing guidelines to escape the university’s mandatory three-year on-campus policy, and dissuade people from engaging in unruly behavior in general.

Several students have stated that this policy is too severe. They point out that a student kicked off campus will be responsible for paying the balance of his or her housing contract as well as rent at an apartment or house. In many cases the possibility exists that a student dismissed in the fall semester will be paying for their room even after it is filled by another student, such as someone coming back from abroad in the spring.

Whether or not this new system is too harsh depends largely on the logic behind it. If the adminstration’s primary purpose is to deter offenders and those looking for a free-pass to off-campus living, then the new policy should go a long way toward achieving its goals. Offending students have signed a legal contract, and in violating it, have not only disrupted the university community, but also passed the burden on to those who have no responsibility in the matter. When they accpeted admission to Duke, they simultaneously agreed to abide by its living requirements, including three full years of on-campus residence.

However, if the true purpose behind the plan is simply to recoup monetary losses, a better policy could be implemented. Offending students should be liable to pay for their rooms until another tenant can be found. For instance, an indvidual asked to leave campus in the fall semester should be responsible for paying their housing contract only until another person moves into their room in the spring.

The new housing violation policy takes some much needed steps toward addressing the loopholes in the current on-campus residential system. Students who break the rules should not be allowed to shirk their responsibilities, however, housing officials should take care to be reasonable in the amount and duration of monetary punishments they assess.

Doctors find alcohol program lacking As the scientists who

participated in the “So

’

You Wanna Get Buzzed” drug and alcohol orientation, we would like to respond to the recent editorial expressing great relief that freshmen would not have to listen to this talk.

We find it regrettable that the most important thought you could express to incoming freshmen and their parents was your relief that you could do less alcohol orientation, but you might be surprised that we agree with you about some things.

We have always maintained that the best drug and alcohol education occurs in small groups facilitated by an informed person, preferably including a peer. We have been advocating to the Duke administration since 1998, before Raheem Bath died of an alcoholrelated illness, that fresh-

man orientation include such a program.

We felt so strongly about it that we voluntarily conducted presentations in freshman dorms that requested such a program, and conducted training for dorm RAs (which might have something to do with their greater ability to handle alcohol-related infractions as reported in the same Chronicle).

The administration responded with the proposal that we conduct an orientation for the entire freshman class that was

mandatory (a requirement winked at by the administration last year, as is evidenced by the fact that at best half the students attended).

We also agree with you about the timing before -

things really get rolling on campus. We actually advocate sending information out to incoming freshmen before they arrive on cam-

pus. However, we part company with your enthusiasm for voluntary, webbased education.

Conveying this information to incoming freshmen is just too important to leave to chance.

During the first semester, college freshmen are going through the period of their lives when they are most likely to severely injure themselves or die from alcohol-related injuries. We have found that the vast majority of adults don’t even know how one dies from alcohol.

Therefore, we urge you to consider an effective, small group based program involving educated peers or other trainers.

We also renew our offer to help in any way possible.

Whitne' Beckett It seems almost every Duke student who actually dated in high school brings their boyfriend or girlfriend with them in fear that everyone at Duke will be dorky and bad looking (not entirely true) and that they will never find such real feelings again as the ones they conjured in the backseat of their first car. In practically every 200-square-foot dorm room (150 if you pretended to have allergies to get airconditioning), there are pictures taped to the wall of one side of the room that will be stared at longingly during long distance and oft-poindess phone conversations.

But the chance of these pictures lasting longer than a two-beer tolerance is slim.

They will be pulled down when these freshman bring someone new back to their room Sheryl-Crow-Kid-Rock-style, and frantically replaced in their proper shrines when the significant other comes to visit.

What follows is a list of anomalies more likely than still being with the same homegrown love by the beginning of sophomore year: earning a 4.0 freshman year; staying in Pratt, even if you are a girl; spending less than $5OO at Uniquities by graduation; going to the gym everyday; still loving the Marketplace by the end of the year.

Welcome to Duke: a good great school Note: The follovAng column has been censored and revised by the Administration.

Freshmen,

first off, congratulations! You are now attending one of the best schools in the country.

After an intense application process in which there

were a record number of applicants, you have been selected as the best of the best. These next four years will determine the future you map out for yourselves. Hopefully it will be a fun four years (five if you’re pro mod because Curriculum 2000 is so restricting) that not only enriches your mind, but makes you realize your place in the world. So as you begin life at your new school, here’s a brief overview of the different aspects of Duke University that you should be concerned with throughout

the

next four years.

The one thing you will notice at first is the confusing graduation matrix that is known as Curriculum 2000. So

Even try to make it out to a few football games, because the team is surely going to be a lot better this year. Most importantly, have a fun-filled and adventurous freshman year; it will breeze on by before you know it. Go to hell Carolina go to hell and go Blue Devils.

You can graduate in four years with no problem while being a double major or even a triple major. You won’t have to go to summer school or attend an extra year. This is just one of many ill conceived attempts by many things, but very few real skills. Trinity Dean Robert Thompson is God and should be President of Harvard because of this great program.

FROM THE EDITOR

Words of wisdom, the more the merrier

By Alex Garinger Three years ago this week, my oldest brother Geoff, a 1997 Dartmouth graduate, called me as I was frantically packing up 18 years of junk that I just could not live without in college, to wish me luck before I set off for my freshman year at Duke. Before we hung up, I asked if he had any words of advice.

“Alex, there’s going to be a time over the next four years when a friend’s going to bust into your room at 11:30 at night on a weekday and ask you if want to go bowling,” he responded. “Say yes.” We then said our goodbyes and hung up.

Of course, he was right (I bowled a 114 the first time that happened, thank you very much). And of course, the recommendation that incoming freshmen should not let new opportunities pass them by and that they should experiment and try new things at college, is perhaps the piece of advice most often given to members of the Class of 2007 this week.

But there is another lesson, I think, to be learned from that phone call: seeking advice, especially from those older or more experienced, is a good thing. A very good thing. Indeed, if I hadn’t asked, and if my brother hadn’t answered, I would have more than likely brushed aside with a laugh the request to come out of my bowling retirement (when bumpers no longer were considered cool in the third grade, my days with the sport came to an end).

Members of the Class of 2007: Ask for advice from people older than you as often as you can. This maxim applies to every part of your Duke experience, and I assure you will work wonders, mostly because old people simply love to help young

Thompson Graves The first thing that makes life easier as a freshman is to get to know people and you have some grounding and have some good friends. I wish people had encouraged me to meet as many people as I possibly could my first week or two.

Friendly advice from your FAC What words

of wisdom would you give to the incoming freshmen? g and Lauren Sultsber Don’t save all your work for the weekends, try and get stuff done, because you’ll end up not doing it until Sunday night and you’ll not be happy.

Definitely time management, if you don’t manage your time, you’ll never be able to go out and have fun, you’ll have so much work to do.

Meet a lot of people and meet as many people as you can, especially freshman year. That’s when you’re allowed to go up to people and say, hey, what’s your name, where are you from and that will definitely help.

Try and go out a little into the city. Whole Foods is right across the street, it’s easy to start there. Because we have Durham, which is actually a pretty big town right at our fingertips and no one seems to use it.

Enjoy your time. It goes by really fast. I can’t believe I’m already a sophomore. Make sure you take things slow.

Carver Moore This is the one time where a conversation over whether it’s called soda or pop can evolve into a 30year friendship.

Some people are going to come here and immediately start complaining about how much it costs or about all the stuff that’s gone wrong and about 10 percent of people are going to play it right and realize that if they play their cards right and take advantage of the untold resources that are offered here that even if they’re paying full sticker price, $40,000 a year, it’s still an amaz-

ing bargain.

Ruby Lekwauwa, RA Get to know your RA, get to know your professors and get to know people on your hall, because they’ll be your support for the year.

w Schmidt piece of advice I have is to stick with yo jes because initially they may seem too h, intimidating, but you may find they beco. lier or more reasonable as the semester ga I would also say under no circumstano uld you throw a party in your dorm room I would isosugg* you lay down the rules with your lommate in terms ofhow you will be handling space in the room and what’s reasonable and cleanliness.

In terms of social scene, don’t be afraid to attend any event even if you don’t know the group because you will find most groups will be very willing to welcome freshmen or any people to their event.

In terms of Durham, I would suggest going wherever you go in groups and making sure you have someone who knows where you are going, but don’t be too afraid becuase there is a lot of worthwhile stuff around East Campus and further -1 would highly suggest a Durham Bulls baseball game.

Chris Ellis Professor Miregrad told me one time if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. You need to take classes that interest you. Don’t listen to everything that your parents said about what you need to major in, what you need to be doing ten, fifteen years from now. Take the classes that interest you and think about your major toward the end of the year going into your sophomore year.

often will your child do his

or

her laundry?

Robbie Itami He’ll hold off as long as he can, although he’s already found out that he goes through multiple shirts in a day with the humidity, so I think he is going to be forced to do it more than he plans.

Marissa Brock He’s pretty organized, he’ll probably start off once a week, and then he’ll probably sign up for the laundry service. I give him three weeks. When he sees how hard his classes are, he’ll quickly sign up for the laundry service.

Carolyn Bernell (Brent's mom) Carolyn: He’s got enough clothes to go 17 days, so I would think, every 17 days.

Brent: Well, you can re-wear clothes a lot more than that, I mean, you’d be surprised how versatile a pair of pants can be.

Carolyn: We bought a ton of Febreze, so he’s in

Oebby He’s not good at separating laundry, so I expect to get a lot of pink clothes that really are white getting shipped home to me at the end of the fall.

I think it’ll take him a few tries to get the hang of laundry, but anyone who gets into Duke should be able to figure that out.

good shape.

Brent: We were at the store and she wanted to buy me detergent, but I was like, I’m not going to use that. Laundry is determined by the smell test, and if it fails, it gets washed. If it passes, it’s good to go again.

Carolyn: And the nice thing is that we live far away so that he has to fly home and they don’t let him bring his laundry home, it’s not going to be like, here mom, here’s my dirty clothes.

Brent: And you don’t buy white shirts, because they show the dirt. And there’s always overnight delivery, charged to the credit card.

Poor lost lambs...

Karen Doran He will have no idea how to keep track ofhis checkbook, Lawrence Zimmerman He’ll live by himselfwithout his mother’s intervention Irish Vento She’s actually pretty self-sufficient can’t wake up -

Rose Moss Given previous experience there is no chance that laundry will be done any sooner than once a month.

My prediction is once every 3 weeks- I’m an optomist.

Some of Keohane’s other initiatives include the 1994 creation of an all-freshman East Campus, the 1995 revisions to the alcohol policy and facilitated dialogue on race relations in 1997-98. Last year, she called for an initiative on the state of affairs for women at Duke.

Keohane, a political scientist, served as president of Wellesley College from 1981 until 1993, and before that taught at Stanford University. She is married to Robert Keohane, James B. Duke professor of political science.
