Bus shelters debut after

many years

oflobbying by

Andrew Collins

THE CHRONICLE

The Office of Parking and Transportation Services deprived future Duke Student Government candidates of a perennially popular election platform Friday by installing four long-awaited bus shelters at various locations on Central Campus.

Two shelters arrived on Alexander Avenue, one on Anderson Street and one on Circuit Drive—the four busiest locations on the East-West-Central route. Director of Parking and Transportation Services Cathy Reeve said passenger counts over the past year helped parking officials ascertain the best location for the shelters.

The shelters kick off yet another initiative in a busy year for the Office of Parking and Transportation Services, which recendy unveiled the new Parking Garage IV on West Campus and is preparing to release its first-ever long-range plan.

While the constant calls for shelters from DSC candidates may or may not have made an impression, Reeve said the impetus for the shelters came two years ago, when Central Campus Council representatives came to her and made a formal request.

The computer worm that caused a brief network outage Friday is only one of a number ofviruses the Office ofInformation Technology is trying to remedy as students return to campus and bring thousands of new computers onto Duke’s network.

Friday’s culprit, the Nachi worm—also known as Welchia or Blaster-D —overloaded Duke’s routers by sending out echo requests, or pings, to find active computers to infect. Chris Cramer, the

University’s information technology security officer, said OIT has temporarily blocked all external ping requests in order to keep the network running.

“Ping has a lot of uses, but since the virus was making use of it, we had no choice but to shut it down,” Cramer said.

“Last I knew, there were about 350 corn-

puters infected on the network, with probably about two-thirds of those in the dorms. The worm was probably putting out several hundred thousand ping requests every minute.”

Because OIT has not disabled ping requests within Duke’s internal network, very little has been affected as far as students are concerned, Cramer said.

Taliban claims role in Kabul ambush by

merit soldiers and that the

CARLOTTA GALL

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghan officials have reported another attack on their troops in the southeastern part of the country, where five government soldiers died Saturday when a military truck was ambushed by suspected Taliban fighters. *Three of the attackers were killed in the clash and two were captured, the governor of Zabul Province, Hafizullah Khan, said in a telephone interview.

In a telephone call to The Associated Press, the Taliban appeared to claim responsibility for the attack, saying that Taliban forces had killed 12 govern-

guerrillas

had suffered no casualties.

The fighting seemed to involve the same group of guerrillas that clashed with government troops in the neighboring province of Oruzgan Friday. In that battle, four soldiers and two guerrillas were killed, Khalid Pashtun, a government spokesperson in the southern province of Kandahar, told the Reuters news agency. The group of guerrillas numbered about 50 and was operating in a mountainous area straddling Zabul and Oruzgan Provinces, Pashtun said.

The attacks were the latest in a growing wave of violence by suspected Taliban guerrillas against government

forces in southern and eastern Afghanistan in recent weeks that has killed dozens of government soldiers.

The governor of Oruzgan Province reported that his troops and a group of suspected Taliban supporters fought for three hours Friday.

Afghan officials say that Taliban fighters have regrouped in Pakistan and are organizing the attacks from there, sending militants across the border in increasing numbers to attack government soldiers and offices. Khan, the Zabul governor, said one of the captured prisoners admitted to being SEE TALIBAN ON PAGE 18

GAZA CITY Gaza Israeli helicopters fired missiles at a group of armed men sitting near the Gaza City beach Sunday, killing four Hamas fighters, including a fugitive commander, just hours after Israel’s army chief said Hamas militants were targets for “liquidation The attack occurred just 200 yards from the office of Palestinian security chief Mohammed Dahlan.

“Israel has no choice but act in those areas where the Palestinians are failing to do so,” said Gideon Meir, a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official.

Israel’s army chief said only hours earlier that all mem”

bers of the Islamic militant group are “potential targets for liquidation.” Sunday’s attack came three days after Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Abu Shanab in a similar strike in retaliation for a Hamas bombing that killed 21 people, including five Americans, on a Jerusalem bus.

Palestinian officials said Sunday’s attack would undermine a planned Palestinian security clampdown that began Saturday with moves against arms smugglers, casting fresh doubt on an already shaky U.S.-backed peace plan. That socalled “road map” envisions a Palestinian state by 2005.

RLHS requires event registration by

Andrew Collins

THE CHRONICLE

In an effort to keep closer tabs on the use of residential facilities, the Office ofResidential Life and Housing Services will now require students to obtain authorization before holding events in and around the residence halls.

The events could range from a quadrangle barbecue to a commons room club meeting, said RLHS Director Eddie Hull. He justified the policy by pointing out that noisy or obtrusive events in and around residence halls can sometimes adversely affect residents, and it is the responsibility of RLHS to effectively represent all students who live on campus.

“In doing things in these spaces, [groups are] doing things in people’s homes,” Hull said. “We’re basically taking back our facilities.”

Residence coordinators will be the point of contact for activities in residence halls. Otherwise, students and groups will have to notify the RLHS office direcdy.

Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli praised the policy as enabling greater communication between groups and RCs. “I like the fact that Residential Life and Housing Services is empowering the RCs to take a little more ownership in their areas,” he said. ‘The RCs know what works in that space and they’ll be able to help groups to get other spaces if the other spaces would be more appropriate.... [The policy] will eliminate a little of the bureaucracy, too, because it will allow people to go to a very close source [for authorization].”

EDITOR'S NOTE The Freshmen Orientation Guide that was included in the August 22 edition of The Chronicle was an old, unedited version that should never have seen the light of day. Although the real version included a very different design of our coverage of freshmen-movein, the biggest difference between the real version and the published version was an accurate guide to campus leaders. Although we can not reproduce that entire guide in corrected format, we can offer an abbreviated guide on pages 8 and 9 today.

Patrons inside a New York City bar bondand commiserate over a few drinks by candlelight during the blackout.

|n

the late afternoon of Aug. 14, the lights went out on Broadway.

Members of the television, radio and print media reported from New York, Detroit, Toronto and other major cities in 11 states and Canada that they were affected by what is being called the “worst blackout in U.S. history.”

In the weeks since, everyone has been asking the question, “Where were you during the Blackout of 2003?”

For many ofNew York City’s residents, the response to that question brings up remembrances of impromptu gatherings with friends; with nowhere to go, many New Yorkers—including many Duke students interning in the city—embraced the free time creatively.

‘The atmosphere was actually really festive,” Margaret Lauerman, Trinity ’O2, wrote in an e-mail. “We just threw a party on the roof instead of going out, and we hung out there talking by candlelight.”

With no easy way to get home and the calming

knowledge that terrorism was not involved, the blackout was a refreshing excuse for a snow-day in summer and a huge street party all over Manhattan.

Kate Runde, a senior interning at Random House for the summer, was at first scared when all the computers in her office shut off at the same time. “I thought it was like the pinch from the movie Ocean’s Eleven,” she said.

Runde later walked 60 blocks to a co-worker’s apartment in upper Manhattan, passing people coming out of manholes from trapped subways, swarming hot dog stands and bars selling one dollar drafts along the way. “We bought a bottle of wine and sat out on the terrace with die neighbors. There’s nothing else to really do but sit by candlelight and enjoy the stars— I could see the constellations—l’ve never seen it like SEE BLACKOUT ON PAGE 17

Angelou christens new crop

by Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

Maya Angelou started her annual speech Sunday af-

ternoon the same way she has for years, singing a medley

of spirituals in four different languages. It was the Class of 2007 that varied from standard protocol.

“In fourteen years, this is the first time I walked out and everybody hasn’t stood up,” Angelou said. “Maybe you’ve grown tired of me.”

At that, the packed Chapel rose to its feet, clapping and calling out, “We love you.” Angelou then continued with a shorter version of the speech she gave last year, speaking for 45 minutes about race, prejudice and ignorance.

“There is a world of difference between being an old female and a woman,” she said after finishing a rendition of a Roberta Flack song she had written. “There is a world of difference between being an old male and a man.”

She used three distinct voices to tell stories about overcoming racial prejudices—employing her official speaking voice for the majority of her speech, several times switching to a halfsinging, half-speaking voice to sing and recite .u rcourage IS Lite her own poetry, and occasionally slipping into a mo st important of conversational tone to inbecause terject comments into virtues her ffic pr entati without it you canThe Wake Forest Umnot produce any of versity professor told how .1 she opened a Krispy i Virtues.

Students bill Angelou’s speech as the highlight of freshman orientation. She is a best-selling author and noted poet as well as a television producer and civilrights activist. Each year the Delta Gamma Sorority helps sponsor her speech on multi-culturalism for new students at Duke.

“Maya Angelou is one of my idols, and I have very few idols,” said freshman Florence Noel. Noel and freshman Teniola Adedipe had won sixth row seats in the game of musical chairs the audience played before the speech as the ushers opened up reserved seating to students.

Not all freshmen were so anxious to be there. Jon Karlin said he came because the rest of his Freshman Advisory Group was going at the end of the summer reading discussion. “I kind of felt out of place if I didn’t go.”

Others, like Lisa Backman, were more excited by Angelou’s high name recognition. Backran rushed Angelou’s limo when she arrived and ambushed the author. “I was like, ‘C’mon, guys,’ and they just stood there so I ran up to her with my friend,” Backman said. “I called my dad and he was like, ‘Are you excited because she’s famous or because it’s her?’ and I’m not really sure which one it is.”

Not for sale: Soccer players fight for Erwin Park

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

The University withdrew an offer to buy Erwin Field on Oregon Street after local soccer groups and parks advocates opposed the sale earlier this summer.

Erwin Field is one of the largest pieces of property in the Central Campus area not owned by the University. Administrators said the University will continue to have an interest in the property, but they did not wish to pursue an unpopular sale at this time.

“In the long run, we’re going to be doing a lot of different things with Central Campus. It would make sense from a planning point of view to own [Erwin Field], and I think we will some day,” said Jeffrey Potter, director of real estate administration. “But

jJLr-.

we don’t have any specific plans right now, so there was no reason to push for something that people are opposing. When the city said now was not a good time to buy the park, we withdrew.”

University officials said that, since Central Campus development is only in its beginning stages, there is no telling where the property will fit into the master plan.

In a letter to City Manager Marcia Conner dated July 23, Executive Vice President Tailman Trask wrote that the University did “not want to generate a firestorm over a property which, while of interest, is not likely essential to our development plans.” Trask could not be reached for comment.

Beaufort retreat changes receive high marks by

Jane Hetherington and THE CHRONICLE

Yeji Lee

At a seemingly deserted West Campus days before move-in last week, 51 undergraduates pulled up, dropped off their belongings at their respective dorms and immediately prepared to leave campus for two

a few days at the beach.

Three days later, when they returned to Durham from the Student Leadership Retreat in Beaufort, N.C., participants described their trip as “intense,” “dynamic" and “enlightening.”

Their experience was the fruit of a program that developed into the event that appeals to students of varying backgrounds. From athletes and DSG members to greek officers and students still wet behind the ears in the leadership department, students came together to participate in this program. “[The Beaufort Retreat] initially started five years ago with the intent of gathering students in leadership roles to get to know each other and decrease barriers,” said the retreat’s faculty advisor, Andrea Caldwell, assistant dean of students.

The program included workshops such as “Leaving Your Legacy” by Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek, speeches such as a “State of the University” address by Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta, and other group activities.

One of the very first indicators of change was attendance. Nearly twice as many students as last year participated.

“We actually had 65 students signed up for the program,” said junior Jennifer Beall, who acted as student facilitator for the retreat. Fifteen people, however, dropped out within the last week before the retreat began, notifying program coor-

dinators that they could not attend due to one urgent reason or another.

“But we were prepared to take all of [the student participants],’’ Beall said. She attributed the overwhelming response to publicity conducted on campus. “We reached out to a lot of people, asked them to apply and really spread the word.”

Students’ reasons for arriving on campus a few days early to go to a leadership retreat differed widely, though there was a common thread: a basic interest in leadership.

One participant, Sugandhi Chugani, received notice of the Beaufort retreat in an e-mail from a friend. She echoed the senitment of multiple attendees in that she

“wanted to reflect on leadership.”

But this year Chugani also becomes a senior, a year she thinks is more challenging to meet other people. So during her free time at Beaufort, Chugani relaxed on the beach and used the opportunity to bond with various types of students.

Junior Christine Lauro said she was impressed by the list of administrators who were holding workshop sessions.

‘There is plenty of housing in Beaufort, plus it is an excuse to go to the beach and it’s a great way to meet new people,” said Beall.

Newly established at the retreat this year was a project called Beyond Beaufort, where students set specific leader-

ship goals for the school year and try to attain them. Retreat alumni will network with each other and use the information presented to them by participating administrators.

For example, sophomore Sarah Goor plans on using her newly acquired leadership skills to create a club for Christians in the Middle East.

“I met a lot of people —both deans and staff—who I think can provide very valuable resources,” she said. “The seminars were very interactive, and we really got to express what we think.”

The retreat planning committee is currently studying student feedback, and after investigating the pluses and minuses of the program, they plan to further change and improve the leadership retreat for next year.

Beall said she would like to see the level of structure and freedom in the group project altered.

Her first year at the retreat, she and other participants were assigned a skit about integrity, a project that “wasn’t structured—at all.” This year, Beall and other organizers made sure to give the participants concrete steps.

“Once we made it more structured, people said they felt like they were being babied. So hopefully next year we can find a medium between totally structured and totally unstructured,” she said Still, with this year’s changes, the retreat was hailed by all as a success.

“I’m thrilled with it,” retreat co-funder Melinda Roper, assistant dean of student advising and programming. “They’ve done amazing work—l’ve heard nothing but good things from the people who are involved with it.”

Someone reported to Duke police Aug. 20 that the operator of a Honda Accord struck another vehicle while it was parked at Bell Building Drive, and then drove off.

Police contacted the owner of the Honda, an employee, and learned that her son was driving her vehicle. The owner claimed that her son was not involved in a hit and run.

Subsequent investigation resulted in the employee’s son, Omisade Omololu, DOB Oct. 21, 1982, of 921 Junction Road, being charged with failure to report an accident, and resisting, delaying or obstruction of an officer.

Chavez recall effort Activists recall MLK rolls on in Venezuela speech 40 years later by

Juan Forero

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

With the opCARACAS, Venezuela ponents of President Hugo Chavez seeking to remove him through a recall referendum, the Supreme Court is expected as early as Monday to choose a new electoral board that would oversee the voting.

Chavez’s government has not offered explicit support for a referendum. But under the constitution, a referendum can be convened halfway through his six-year term, a milestone reached last Tuesday.

In his drive to remake Venezuela, Chavez rewrote the constitution and packed Congress and other institutions with his allies. The Supreme Court, several of whose members were handpicked by the interior minister, was considered as beholden as any.

The government’s adversaries, who had already failed to overthrow Chavez in a coup last year, had as recently as January dismissed the Supreme Court as just another puppet of the leftist president.

But after a two-month national strike failed to oust Chavez, the court has the last option.

To hold the referendum, the court must select five electoral board officials who would verify the validity of 3.2 million signatures, collected by the president’s adversaries, that demand his ouster.

If the signatures are authenticated, the board will then organize a referendum for as early as the end ofNovember. Polls indicate that two-thirds of Venezuelans may vote to remove Chavez.

WASHINGTON Forty years after Martin Luther King Jr. eloquently captured the struggle of black Americans for equality, civil rights activists called Saturday for his dream to finally be realized.

His vision of a land where little black boys and girls in the South would one day hold hands with little white boys and girls was remembered by thousands of people who gathered on a warm summer day to celebrate King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

“Despite the progress we’ve made during the last four decades, people of color are still being denied a fair share of employment and educational opportunities in our society,” said his son, Martin Luther King 111.

Speaking to a few thousand people gathered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King said it was a day to honor the hard work of all those behind the 1963 march. It also represented, he said, a moment of realization that much work lies ahead.

To mark the coming 40th anniversary of the March on Washington, King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, urged the crowd to follow the peaceful path that her husband preached.

“We must make our hearts instruments of peace and nonviolence because when the heart is right, the mind and the body will follow,” she said.

Mrs. King stood on the memorial’s granite steps, looking out over the Reflecting Pool, in the same spot where her hus-

band delivered his powerful appeal so many years ago to a throng estimated at 250,000.

Another activist with vivid memories of that August day in 1963 was Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who helped organize the march.

“I was here 40 years ago, 23 years old, a few pounds lighter, with all of my hair,” he said, as he asked young and old alike to do more. ‘Too many of us are too complacent, too satisfied. We need to make a little noise.”

Before the speeches, participants took shelter from the bright sun under about a half dozen white tents set up for a series of teach-ins.

The panel discussions varied from education, economic justice and jobs to voter which education and empowerment was one of the central themes of the weekend remembrance.

The coalition of about 100 diverse groups who organized the rally used the event to kick off a 15-month voter mobilization campaign.

Saturday’s teach-ins and speeches culminated a two-day celebration of the march in which King issued his famous demand for justice for all, delivered on Aug. 28, 1963.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ’We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,”’ he said.

Despite the government’s onetime control of the court, the justices have shown themselves to be unpredictable in recent months.

Last August, the court angered Chavez by absolving four military officers accused of having taken part in the April 11, 2001, coup against him. Yet, earlier this year, the court also ordered striking state oil employees back to work.

“The court has shown it can make a decision that corresponds with the interests of the nation,” said Ernesto Alvarenga, a former ally ofChavez who helped oversee the composition of the court.

Even after a board is chosen, legal hurdles remain. Many political analysts expect that signatures calling for a referendum, which were collected months ago, will be ruled invalid.

But Maria Gorina Machado, director of the group that collected them, said the group was prepared to collect them again.

“We know there are millions of obstacles,” she said.

In addition, four new 120-man American provincial reconstruction teams will be sent around the country, on top of the three American teams and one British team that already exist. The United States would also lead an effort to build police training centers in eight cities with the aim of producing 19,000 newly trained officers

Iraqi police force to undergo training in Europe by

Dexter Filkins

NEW YORKTIMES NEWS SERVICE

BAGHDAD, Iraq Eager to have more Iraqis take responsibility for their country’s security, U.S. officials here are planning to ferry as many as 28,000 Iraqis to Eastern Europe for an intensive police training course.

Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner in charge of the Iraqi Interior Ministry, said in an interview that U.S. officials had secured permission from the government of Hungary to set up a large police academy inside an old Soviet military base there.

Kerik said the extraordinary measures were necessary because the existing police academies in Iraq were not large enough to train so many officers over the next several months.

His plan is part of a larger effort by senior U.S. officials here to press the Iraqis to take a greater share in running the country. The Bush administration is also under growing political pressure at home to lighten the load on the U.S. forces here.

“We want to turn Iraqi security over to the Iraqis,” Kerik said. “This is the only way to do it quickly.”

He said the prospective Iraqi officers would receive eight weeks of intensive training in Hungary and then return to Iraq. After they return, they would be given four to six to six months of on-the-job instruction, similar to

the training that prospective officers undergo in the United States.

Kerik said he hoped to begin training the first group of 1,500 officers in four months, with 28,000 officers being ready to start working in Iraq over the next 18 months.

That would bring the total number of Iraqi police officers to 65,000—the number that U.S. officials believe is required to police the country effectively.

The program outlined by Kerik reflects the growing sense of urgency among U.S. officials that the chaotic security situation that prevails in some parts of the country could be more effectively dealtwith by the Iraqis, who are seen as more credible peacekeepers than the U.S. occupation forces.

There has been some violence against Iraqis who worked with the Americans, including a bombing in early July near the graduation ceremony for the first class ofpolice recruits that killed seven of them. But Kerik said the

overwhelming reason for training outside Iraq was to prepare police officers as quickly as possible.

He said it would relieve U.S. troops of the burden of doing the policing. But it is unclear whether that would reduce the number of U.S. troops needed in Iraq.

Four months after Saddam Hussein’s government collapsed, the streets of Iraqi cities, including Baghdad, are still quite chaotic, with rampant robberies, kidnappings and shootings often going unpunished. The collapse of public order that followed the fall of Saddam’s government was made worse by the disintegration of the Iraqi army, which made guns and munitions easily available on the streets.

In Baghdad, for instance, U.S. soldiers have set up checkpoints dedicated almost exclusively to stopping armed carjackings.

Afghani aid may grow Blair to face inquiry by

DAVID ROHDE

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

In the next KABUL, Afghanistan several weeks, the Bush administration is expected to announce a major increase in aid to Afghanistan that would gready expand the American role in this country, senior American officials here and in Washington say.

The administration appears set to embark on a vast American-led effort at top-to-bottom rebuilding and recasting of Afghanistan, these officials said in recent days.

A senior American diplomat said that President Bush, viewing the situation “like a businessman,” had decided that investing more reconstruction money here now could lead to an earlier exit for American forces and save money in the long run.

The United States currently spends $ll billion a year on its military forces in Afghanistan and $9OO million on reconstruction aid.

But officials of aid groups here contend that the presidential election in the United States next year will be the motivating factor. They say the White House is eager to have Afghanistan appear to be a success story to voters.

Under the new initiative, American reconstruction aid is expected to double, to $l.B billion a year, officials said. A dozen senior American government officials would work as advisers to Afghan government ministers. Up to 70 staff positions would be added to the embassy in Kabul, where virtually the entire senior staff is being replaced.

The proposals are likely to be well received in Congress given the widespread

criticism there that the aid effort so far has been inadequate, officials said.

Sunday, a White House spokesperson declined to comment on the reports.

U.N. officials say Afghanistan is entering what is arguably the most critical period since the fall of the Taliban in December 2001. National elections are to be held next June, andAmerican officials are eager for the moderate government of President Hamid Karzai to fare well.

Visible progress must be shown in reconstruction, disarmament and security, particularly in the south, if a Taliban insurgency is to be curbed and any semblance of a fair election held, U.N. officials said.

However, questions are already being asked here about whether a belated billion-dollar infusion of American cash and advisers would produce the desired results. Aid workers say that reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan have been stymied by a lack of political will in Washington, by what they see as draconian security restrictions imposed on American government workers here by their own security officials, fierce bureaucratic infighting, and an attempt to rebuild Afghanistan “on the cheap.”

After initially opposing the expansion of peacekeeping operations outside of Kabul, the United States is considering supporting the use of peacekeepers in other major cities, the senior American diplomat said. American officials also said that sending additional American troops to Afghanistan could not be ruled out.

Kelly—a former weapons inspector in Iraq who worked for the Defense Ministr —was found dead after he was identified as a source for the May 29 British Broad-

byJANEWARDELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Prime Minister Tony Blair and his senior aides played a key role in the decision to identify the source of a BBC story asserting that the government exaggerated Iraq’s military threat, according to documents released over the weekend by a judicial inquiry.

The publication of the documents on the Internet led some British newspapers to predict Sunday that Blair will face hard questions when he appears before the inquiry this week.

Blair “showed almost an obsessive interest in a story and its source,” The Sunday Times said in an editorial headlined “Blair In The Dock.”

The inquiry is investigating the suicide of senior British weapons adviser David Kelly, who committed suicide in July after he was identified as a source of the BBC report that said Blair’s government had “sexed up” a dossier about Iraq’s weapons before the war. The dossier said Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction could be fired in 45 minutes.

Saturday, thousandsof documents submitted to the inquiry into Kelly’s death were released on the Internet by the presiding judge, Lord Hutton. The material included information that had not been disclosed in the first two weeks of the hearings.

A newly released confidential Cabinet Office note indicates that Blair presided at a series of meetings during which it was decided to make public “that a source had come forward,” according to The Observer newspaper Sunday. The memo authorized the Ministry of Defense to work out the “naming strategy.”

casting Corp. story.

The report quoted an unidentified source as claiming that the September dossier on Iraqi weapons was “transformed” in the weeks before publication to strengthen the allegations of an Iraqi threat. The government has denied it did that.

In one documentreleased Saturday, John Scarlett, chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, said there was “general agreement” within Blair’s administration that “the issue would inevitably become public.”

“We are already open to criticism for not coming clean about the existence of a possible source,” he added in the memo, following a meeting with Blair and other officials.

Blair’s office has distanced itself from the decision to name Kelly, saying it was in the hands of the Ministry of Defense. But the documents released Saturday show that the press statement made by the Defense Ministry that provided clues to Kelly’s identity was drafted at the prime minister’s office and checked by Blair’s communications director, Alastair Campbell.

Campbell also told one journalist hunting the name of the source that he was on the wrong track.

Blair is scheduled to give evidence to the inquiry headed by Lord Hutton, a top

judge, Thursday.

to relax

modernization pollution standards

by John Heilprin THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a victory for industrial plant operators, the Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to issue a new rule within days to let thousands more facilities modernize without adding more pollution controls.

The new rule relaxes the agency’s definition of “routine maintenance,” a catch-phrase Congress adopted in its 1977 Clean Air Act amendments to describe the only reason an industry could modernize without having to install best-available pollution control technology.

“Routine maintenance” has been at the center of debate over the Clean Air Act’s “new source review” program, which was intended to force businesses to install new clean-air devices if they modified or improved older plants in ways that increase emissions.

Bush administration members and industry officials who lobbied heavily for the changes describe them as clarifications of a confusing standard that has long stymied industry. The new source review program needs improving, said the EPA’s acting administrator, Marianne L. Horinko, because “that program is not. causing a whole lot of emissions reductions.”

Horinko said she will sign the new rule, which is based on EPA’s proposal last November, in the coming week and it will take effect in the fall. The announcement is

planned for Wednesday.

“This rule is desperately needed to make America’s power plants, factories and refineries safe and reliable,” said Jeffrey Marks, director ofair quality policy for the National Association of Manufacturers.

Scott Segal, a lobbyist and attorney for six large utilities, said even the new allowance for replacement costs wouldn’t fix all the shortcomings in the new source review program, but it would “move us along the path of improving efficiency and reliability of the electric power system.”

Environmentalists, Democrats and other critics contend the rule change is a giveaway to utilities and industry, allowing many of the nation’s dirtiest coal-burning power plants and other facilities to release millions of tons ofadditional pollution into the air.

‘This latest rule on NSR is just one more flagrant violation of the Clean Air Act and every court’s opinion on this matter,” said Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vt., the No. 2 senator on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

This is the single most destructive anti-clean air rule in the history of the Clean Air Act,” said Vickie Patton, a senior attorney in Boulder, Colo., for New York-based Environmental Defense, an advocacy group.

Some critics also have suggested the EPA announcement on the new rule was being moved up so that it would be out of the way if a Senate confirmation hearing begins next month for Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, President George W. Bush’s nominee to succeed former EPA Administrator SEE ERA ON PAGE 22

BUS SHELTERS from page.

REGISTRATION

Workers are still putting the finishing touches on the shelters, but they are fully functional and Reeve said they “look good.” In addition to four walls and enclosed roofs, all shelters will be well lit at night and equipped with blue light phones for emergency calls.

On Alexander, two bus stops will merge into one at the location of a new shelter. Notices at the existing locations will inform students about the consolidation this week, and the route will be adjusted beginning next week.

Some students objected to the single bus stop.

“It’s good to have somewhere to stand while it’s raining, but it’s highly inconvenient to have only one bus stop on .Alexander,” said junior Emma

Previously, students and groups registered with the Events Advising Center for parties and other events. Problems occasionally arose from miscommunication, such as when a Kappa Alpha Order fraternity party was broken up last September.

Smaller events, such as club meetings, were supposed to be registered with the EAC, Vitarelli said, but it was common practice for such events to take place under the radar of the administration Some students said they were concerned about the closer watch that will take place under the new policy.

“It just limits freedom,” said freshman Chris Morgan. “Unless it’s something really extreme, I would say, ‘No problem.’”

In the end, however, Hull stressed that the policy was not designed to be restrictive.

“Let’s say a quad council wanted to do a barbecue,” he said. “We would certainly' want to see that happen... but let’s talk about it in advance.”

Boa-Durgammah.

Reeve said more shelters and benches will be coming soon, including on Science Drive near the future Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences and possibly on East and West Campuses. A potential hindrance for those shelters is the University Architect’s office, which must ensure that all on-campus construction meets certain aesthetic and usage standards.

Another reason for the low priority of shelters on East and West, suggested senior Julian Lim, is that buses stop at these locations more frequently and passengers are therefore less exposed to wind, rain and the like.

The shelters represent a minor triumph for the ever-active parking and transportation services, which witnessed the grand opening of Parking Garage IV on West Campus and the merger between the University and Medical Center parking departments this summer. A new office is coming soon in the basement of the former facilities management building off Science Drive, and a substantial hike in the cost of employee permits this year will give the consolidated department the ANTHONYCROSS funds to complete major projects specified in its long-range plan, due this fall.

ERWIN FIELD The sale of Erwin Field has been a topic of discussion for years. City administrators recommended selling the seven-acre property to Duke for $500,000—a price many who use the field felt was too low to replace one of the few lighted soccer fields in Durham. Currently, the field is used by a number of different soccer clubs and schools for practice or tournament play.

“The city’s view is that they’d like a more modern, newer park, particularly for soccer,” Potter said. “Erwin Field was built as a playground and baseball park, so we thought we had a situation where we could buy the park for more than it’s worth and the city could build something nicer somewhere else. But it turns out people were fearful they would lose a field altogether.”

George Dubay, a senior chemistry research associate and president of the Durham-Chapel Hill Strikers soccer club, said the sale of Erwin Field would have taken away one of the few resources available to local soccer clubs.

MONDAY. AUGUST 25. 20031

‘The community has very little in terms of parks and there are only two city parks with soccer fields in central Durham,” Dubay said. “To sell one would be taking away much of what’s available.”

The University also proposed allowing public recreation to continue for two years after the sale, which would theoretically give the city time to develop a comparable field without disrupting soccer practices. Dubay said, however, there could be anywhere from a six to 10 year delay in replacing Erwin Field.

“Despite Duke offering a reasonable sum, it’s not extraordinary and it would limit access to soccer fields with no replacement in sight,” he said. “Right now, Durham needs to expand its resources, not contract [them].”

Pete Sadin, director of operations for Triangle Futbol Club, said the soccer club was glad to hear the University dropped its offer to buy Erwin Field, echoing Dubay’s sentiments that a two-year extension of public usage would not guarantee that another facility would open in time for uninterrupted play.

15

“I personally thought the $500,000 price tag was cheap and that Durham could have sold Erwin Field for more,” Sadin said. He added, however, that he understood the University’s interest in the field.

University involvement aside, the “spirited” opposition to the sale of Erwin Field highlighted a planning problem the city now faces, especially as it continues to grow at a rapid pace, Potter said.

“Durham doesn’t have a long history of building soccer parks because soccer didn’t become particularly popular until recendy,” Potter explained.

Dubay, who also serves on the city’s Recreation Advisory Committee, said the city may have “languished” in terms of developing facilities in part because many University employees who can use University facilities are also members of the Durham community.

“As a result, there is very little for organized team play in Durham, and it is unlikely that adequate resources will be available for the expanding population for an extended period,” he said. “It’s not Duke’s fault, but it impacts the need for these parks.”

Later this fall, DSG will also be looking at the results of Visions of Duke, a survey project DSG cabinet members Rick Garcia and Dave Kahne led last spring. Slovik said the report, which should be complete by early October, will be presented to the Board of Trustees and other campus leaders. It will also help to further Slovik’s goal of promoting student voices on campus.

“It will be written proof, saying this is what students want and this is how students feel,” Slovik said.

While Slovik does not have any definite plans beyond graduation, he does have an idea of what he hopes to see after his term is

complete.

“When I pass the reins, I’d like to see DSC as an organization that has really helped to improve the campus experience and the college experience for Duke students,” he said.

“It’s not about accomplishing 20 different goals that I want to do, it’s going to be accomplishing one, two or three goals that are really going to make a difference.”

puters still need to be cleaned up. He added that OIT will allow all ping requests again once the virus has been removed from the majority ofinfected computers and once traffic from outside Duke’s network is reduced, indicating a lower risk of infection.

The Nachi worm takes advantage of a security hole in Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP and Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0 —the same vulnerability exploited by the Blaster worm, which affected Windows NT, 2000, XP and Server 2003. Although the Nachi worm seems to have been made with good intentions—to download security patches and remove the Blaster worm from infected computers—computer experts have cautioned that no worm is a good worm.

Cramer said it is a fairly simple process to clean up an infected computer. Over the weekend, OIT started e-mailing students, faculty and staff whose computers have been infected with instructions on how to remove the virus.

He said he hopes students, faculty and staff will take responsibility for cleaning up their own computers, adding that computers that continue to cause problems on the network may have to be pulled off-line.

‘We took some actions to keep the worm out of the network, but because it spreads automatically, once it’s in Duke’s network we have to go in and clean up each individual com-

OIT changed the network registration page students living on campus see when they use Duke’s network for the first time in their new rooms. The modified page provides links to download a Microsoft security patch, a worm cleaning tool and the Duke site-licensed antivirus and personal firewall. Cramer said students should not have to take any additional steps after downloading and installing the antivirus program, which is configured to update itself automatically with the latest virus definitions.

Other problems OIT has been working with include the Blaster worm and the Soßig virus, which infests computers through e-mail as an attachment. Cramer said the Blaster worm, which was created to blast a Microsoft site, turned to blast the registration site instead when students with infected computers tried to connect to the network.

Like the Nachi worm, the Blaster worm must be removed from each computer individually.

Cramer said Soßig is currently under control, with fewer than 10 computers carrying the virus as ofSaturday.

“A lot of students have downloaded McAfee [VirusScan], and we’ve also run an antivirus on the mail system itself,” Cramer said. “We caught over 1.5 million copies of the Soßig virus trying to come into the network, and they were all stripped out by the antivirus program.”

“When the power [in New York City] went out and no one knew why or how or who, it took about two seconds to realize that you are on an island, in arguably the most targeted city in the country —and probably the world—and are fairly helpless if you are being attacked,” Lieb wrote in an e-mail.

As the rest of the world watched the darkening skyline, thousands of people in the city that never sleeps were, for once, disconnected. Some got trapped in dark subways, some had to walk home, others waited three hours for ferries to New Jersey while still others opted to sleep on the streets of Times Square—but, people made the best of it.

TALIBAN from page 2 offered money in Pakistan to go to Afghanistan to fight.

In a sign of the concern caused by a possibly resurgent Taliban, a group of Americans led by Sen. John McCain raised the issue on a trip through Afghanistan and Pakistan last week.

On his way to a meeting in Pakistan with President Pervez Musharraf, McCain told journalists in Kabul that Pakistan was “not doing as much as it can” to stem the cross-border infiltration of militants into Afghanistan “We are appreciative of the help that Pakistan has given us in the war on terror and in other ways, but we believe that more measures can be taken,” he said after meeting with the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, in Kabul Friday. “We ll be asking how the United States can help on the Pakistan side to prevent these escalating acts of terror.”

Pakistan confirmed that Musharraf discussed the issue with the American delegation during a one-hour meeting in the city of Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad.

“The president reiterated to the U.S. delegation that Pakistan would not tolerate any terrorist activity across its borders,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued after the meeting. Musharraf also stressed that Pakistan and Afghanistan must share intelligence in a timely way, the ministry said.

“Every member of Hamas is a potential target for liquidation,” Israeli army chief Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon said Sunday in the first public comment by a senior defense official on Israel’s new policy, adopted after Tuesday’s bus bombing.

In the past three years of fighting, Israel has killed scores of wanted militants in targeted attacks—the Palestinians call them assassinations—but rarely has gone after Hamas political leaders. Abu Shanab was the most senior Hamas leader killed in a missile strike.

Hamas remained defiant after Sunday’s missile strike.

“If the Israelis thought assassinations would destroy our determination to continue in our resistance, to continue defending ourselves, they are mistaken,” Hamas spokesperson Ismail Haniya said. ‘We will move ahead whatever the sacrifice.”

Also Sunday, a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed about four miles from the Israeli city of Ashkelon, about 10 yards from an unmanned lifeguard post. It was the deepest a Palestinian rocket has struck in Israel in recent memory, the army said.

Dahlan’s forces, meanwhile, continued arresting weapons smugglers in the Gaza Strip, seizing weapons and detaining at least 15 suspects in a sweep begun late Saturday. Security forces said they sealed off six tunnels used to smuggle weapons from Egypt Israeli security officials dismissed the Palestinian raids as fiction and affirmed that Israel will continue acting against militants, a security source said Sunday.

IRAQI POLICE from page 11 Since the end of the war, U.S. adminis37,000 police officers in place around the country. Most of them worked for the former government but were judged by the occupation officials to be competent, honest and reasonably independent from that government.

Kerik said that as many as 3,000 Iraqi officers had been barred from returning to police work, usually because of a history of corruption or brutality, which Iraqis say was common under the old administration.

Each of the officers now working in Iraq has been given a mandatory U.S.-designed training course, usually lasting a few weeks, in police tactics, democracy and human rights. Kerik said that the pool of former officers was all but used up, though, and that raw recruits would need far more training.

Training those new recruits in Iraq’s existing police academies would take nearly six years, he said.

Kerik, who is wrapping up his tour in Iraq, said he hoped that if the first class could begin training in four months, another group of 1,500 would begin training four weeks later. The course would last about eight weeks, he said, which is shorter than that of most police academies in Western countries, which typically last several months.

“We don’t have that luxury,” he said Kerik said the police academy would be set up in Hungary on a base near the city of Taszar, the same site where hundreds of Iraqi volunteers received military training to join U.S. forces in the invasion of Iraq.

The Iraqi police force has been given a largely warm recepdon by the Iraqi people, although the force has been weakened trators have put

by a lack of equipment, especially.guns. In the southern Iraqi city of Diwaniya, for instance, only a fraction of the city’s 2,500 police officers have guns. U.S. Marines overseeing the police force have been forced to pair armed officers with unarmed.

Kerik, acknowledging the shortage of equipment, said that a shipment of50,000 9-mm pistols would arrive shortly, and that 100,000 more would arrive next year.

He oudined progress in putting Iraqi border guards and customs officers in place as well. About 13,600 are on the job he said, with about 6,000 more still to be trained and hired. U.S. officials are also overseeing the creation of an Iraqi civil defense force, which would have about 14,000 troops initially, under current plans.

Kerik, whose dme here is to end in a week, said he was proud of what he had accomplished, including putting together a team of Iraqis who could serve as senior administrators for the new Interior Ministry.

He said said that although he would be returning to the United States, he expected to be engaged for some dme in helping his successors.

“I’ll probably be on the phone for several weeks,” he said.

Kerik said he hoped to begin training the first group of 1,500 officers in four months, with 28,000 officers being ready to start working in Iraq over the next 18 months. That would bring the total number of Iraqi police officers to 65,000—the number that U.S. officials believe is required to police the country effectively.

The program outlined by Kerik reflects the growing sense of urgency among U.S. officials that the chaotic security situation that prevails in some parts of the country could be more effectively dealt with by the Iraqis, who are seen as more credible peacekeepers than the U.S. occupation forces.

The claims that the September dossier was “sexed up” and Kelly’s suicide have become the biggest crisis of Blair’s six years in office. Blair urged skeptical Britons to back war because Saddam posed a serious danger and vehemently denies exaggerating the threat.

In a new poll, 67 percent of those questioned said the government had deceived Britons about Iraqi weapons, according to the survey by polling firm ICM for The Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

Fifty-eight percent of those questioned said they trust Blair less since Kelly’s death. Sixty-one percent said they believed the BBC report that the government exaggerated evidence on Iraq.

Those parts include the length of time permitted between polludon-control upgrades, record-keeping and pollution reporting, and the way emissions are calculated.

There are unresolved, politically delicate questions about how much new aid would be delivered through the Afghan government, and over what role American-paid experts and technocrats would play.

Afghan and Western officials are acutely aware of the need to avoid the appearance of being a colonial power, particularly in a country with a long history of humbling foreign occupiers. A central tenet of Taliban propaganda against Karzai’s government is that he is an American puppet.

Afghan officials say they would welcome more aid, but must retain control of their ministries.

American officials pledged that they would and that the new advisers would not resemble the “shadow ministers” that the So* viet Union installed when it occupied the country in the 1980s.

But aid officials say that an increase in American-paid foreign advisers working in government ministries could stoke Afghan nationalism.

Introducing Duke Student Portfolio The Duke Student Portfolio is your space to create an ongoing record of your original work and accomplishments and to present yourself professionally.

An electronic portfolio is an organized, purposeful, collection of your personal achievements, course work, and projects.

Here you can archive text, audio, and video files to include in

online presentations or to display on the Web to potential employers and others inside and outside of the Duke Community.

You are the owner of your portfolio, and you decide what to archive and what to make available for viewing on the Web. Think of it as your own virtual museum with you as the curator.

The Duke Student Portfolio is the place to put your talents on display!

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.

Print

Examining the Double Standard

He

was a respected NBA star. He endorsed everything from shoes to food to clothing to beverages. He portrayed himself as a family man and was heavily marketed to children. And now, he was an outed adulterer. Maybe more.

New printing stations will making printing at

public computer clusters a breeze At the end of this past summer, OIT officials completed an overhaul of the printing systems in computer labs across campus. The new system, ePrint, will save students time at the often crowded print stations, as well as reducing the amount of paper used overall. ePrint was introduced to combat recurring problems encountered by students when printing in the public clusters. Under the old system, too many students often printed to the same machine, causing jams and backups. In addition, different jobs would pile up causing students to spend significant lengths of time sifting through others’ documents. In many cases, this would force individuals to print the same document several times.

With ePrint, students click the print command at their computer, entering the job into the ePrint system. They can then swipe their DukeCard at any printer in any lab on campus, and select the Jobs they wish to print. This will prevent confusion at the printers, and allow students to avoid broken or backlogged machines.

The ePrint system will also allow students to print to any lab or quad print-station on campus using their dormroom computers or

wireless internet connections. By downloading software provided by OIT, the need to buy a personal printer for your room will be largely eliminated. However, students who need to print in color may still need to depend on personal printers, as most cluster units will not print in color.

Another benefit to the new system is its history of reducing the amount of paper used in the labs. ePrint is already in use at several other major universities, where paper waste was reduced as much as 20 40 percent. This will aid in the university’s initiative to further itself as an environmentally conscious institution.

The primary caviat in the implementation of ePrint is that it could easily allow OIT officials to monitor each student’s print jobs, limit them and charge them for printing. While OIT employees stress that there are no plans to charge students at this time, many other univeristies currently use ePrint to charge their users.

Overall, the ePrint system is a vast improvement over the old printing structure in the public computer clusters. It will save individuals time and money, while keeping the amount of paper waste to a minu-

mum.

Nathan Carleton His reputation was now in the hands of those he’d spent years trying to charm; the media. They could report and morally analyze this sex scandal so relendessly that it would become impossible for one to hear his name and not think of the wife he betrayed. Or they could sweep the story under the rug, giving it such minimal coverage that few would hear of it.

Fortunately for Michael Jordan, they choose the latter.

That’s right. Michael Jordan. An unfaithful husband who used bribery to cover up an affair. Yet still the most revered athlete ever.

That Kobe Bryant’s July 6 arrest and impending rape trial have made for the most analyzed sports story in years is appalling.

When the more famous Jordan admitted, in October 2002, to having paid fledgling actress Karla Knafel $250,000 to keep secret an extramarital relationship, slim press coverage ensued.

“But MJ wasn’t charged with rape! one might say. True. But the Kobe story was about more than crime. It was about the fallibility of a hero. After admitting to adultery on July 18, Kobe was barraged with criticism for betraying his family. Said columnist Terry Pluto: “Guilty or not, Kobe was wrong.

Such condemnations were nonexistent when the Jordan scandal broke. The online search [“Kobe Bryant “-(-adultery] turns up over five times more matches than [“Michael Jordan “-fadultery] does.

No one should be surprised. Throughout his career, Jordan has taken little heat for his often classless behavior. From retiring three times to preventing fellow legend Isaiah Thomas from competing for his country in the Olympics, Jordan has shown himself to be a selfish egomaniac with little respect for teammates and less for opponents. Yet the smoker and compulsive gambler has appeared with children in “Be Like Mike Gatorade commercials and starred in a cartoon movie.

Maybe a sex scandal or volatile personality can ruin the public image of a mere mortal, but for media darling Michael, it’s nothing to worry about.

In short, there’s a double standard here and almost everyone knows it. And what a paradoxical concept that is. For it seems that if everyone knows that a double standard exists, then it no longer should.

But there exist today countless examples of self-evident hypocrisy. Citing statistical “

likelihood, car insurance companies charge higher rates for males than females. If conflicting evidence led them to reverse this system, however, and charge higher rates for females, or if African Americans were charged higher insurance rates than whites, then there would be protests and boycotts across the nation.

Similarly, as the search for chemical and biological weapons in Iraq was proving frugal this summer, President Bush was called a liar for his claim that Iraq possessed a weapons network capable of mass destruction. Yet the integrity of the United Nations, France and Syriawho all concurred with tire United States on the issue—was never questioned.

Nor was former President Bill Clinton’s, even though he said this in 1998: “If we fail to act, Saddam Hussein will go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guaranv tee you he’ll use the arsenal.”

Double standards are most evident in matters of perceived racism. Chicago Cubs manager Dusty Baker claimed this summer that minority players are better suited to playing in hot conditions than whites are. His comments actually provoked some interesting biological discussions. But no discussion was needed about one issue; had a white manager made similar comments, he would have provoked an instant firestorm and lost his job.

So the question remains; why, when everyone knows a double standard exists, does it exist? Why do people view actions differently based on who engages in them?

The easy route is to blame the media. And they certainly are in part responsible. But there’s another reason. It’s that a minority can drastically affect public opinion by working hard or being loud.

If car insurance companies charged higher rates for females than males, feminist groups would make noise until the policy was changed or the industry’s reputation tarnished. If a white manager were to drawracial distinctions between the abilities of athletes, civil rights groups would audibly fuss. But few activists concern themselves with the plights of males or whites, and so the campaigns needed to alter one’s public reputation rarely occur when possible discrimination by the minority does.

It follows that one’s fate is often decided by one’s enemies. That has seemed especially true this summer. Perhaps the boos that showeredKobe Bryant as he was named 2002 All-Star MVP in his hometown of Philadelphia, PA, should have convinced him to avoid trouble at all costs. They didn’t, and he would eventually learn that he was not Michael Jordan—the recipient of a twominute standing ovation in the same arena.

He had too many enemies. He couldn’t shrug off immoral behavior like a three-pointer.

On Backpacks, Big Macs and the Freshman Fifteen "X Tm may have seen the buses pulling V' into East last week, or maybe just JL smelled them after they opened their doors, as the freshman participants and upperclass leaders of Project WILD returned to campus in their sweaty, unshaven, two-weeks-without-showers glory.

Then again, you might have missed them—by the end of the day most had showered, dressed for success, and scarfed a SuperValue Meal. It’s symbolic of returning to civilization—back to a culture based on appearance and ease. Although every year when I return from the woods I vow to keep some of what I’ve learned in my everyday life—l’ll carry a spoon with me and eschew plastic utensils, I’m going to walk when I could ride—it always peters out eventually.

Me han Valerio What I love about backpacking is the slackened and deliberate pace of responsibilities, their reduction to their most basic. Things from waking up to walking stop being automatic as you light your own stove, build your own shelter, and feel everything you need on your back as your legs bring you up a mountain. Backpacking forces me to live what we’re conditioned to avoid—effort.

Last semester, studying in Australia, I walked a mile to and from school without complaint, walked to the grocery store where no one used carts, didn’t miss the SUVs, and began to realize how much our culture encourages inertia, but at the same time condemns it. We .pepplg thin, but people who run and go to the gym regularly “have a

problem.” We drive to Cantina and complain about gas prices, absurdly low compared to the rest of the world. Disordered eating’s prevalence on campus leads us to question, and often rightly so, anyone who chooses fruit and cereal over pancakes and sausage—but in a genuinely healthy world, wouldn’t it be the other way around? My roommate in Australia followed a vegan diet and was in perpetual training for the Chicago Marathon. Although tiny, she could bench more than our guy friends and drank protein shakes the way the rest of us drank cocktails.

“I’m sorry,” my other friends, also American, would say after she ordered quesadillas, extra beans instead of cheese and could you go light on the oil?, “but that girl has a problem. Give her a cheeseburger.” They’d follow this declaration with a handful of Cheezels. a seasoned potato wedge with sour cream, or a packet of Tim Tams. From the names of these foods, you might guess that their fat/hydrogenated oil/trans fatty acid contents are not low, nor their nutritional values high. You might be right. So bad it must be good.

Why is it that my roommate, with her full meals of lentils and tofu and 8 kilogram bucket of soy protein, was the one with the problem? it was around then that I realized appearance is a no-win issue. The rifts between what is attractive, what is healthy, and what is normal in America are huge. Thin is attractive, healthy is relative, and normal is overweight. That it’s normal and average to be overweight seems a bit unbelievable on the Duke campus, where a tour group might reasonably believe that you fist your height and weight on the application, but Duke isn’t a very inclusive population sample (that’s another column entirely).

We all know that Duke kids are under pressure, whether self or parent-in-

duced, to be perfect in every way, including physically, and that Duke pro-

vides us with the resources to get as close as we can. At the same time, there’s this twisted sense that being happily fit is kind of weird, and that everyone should eat McDonald’s Super Sized Extra Value Meals. They’re easy and big, right? Just like America!

When I returned from Project WILD my freshman year, I felt better than I had in my life—l had new friends, new skills, and more energy than I’d thought physically possible. And yes, as the weeks went on I ate a lot of late night pizza and drank a lot of Busch Light, and the yesI hike-all-day body disappeared, but I eventually found a happy medium. Col-

lege is a great place to do that—to try new things, spread yourself thin, and play to your passions. I only wish I’d figured that out a little earlier.

Moral of the story? Activity is okay.

Appearance is relative. If you gain the freshman five-to-fifteen (I did), you’ll live (I did that too). Whether you’re a freshman or a senior, hell, a seventhyear grad student, it’s a new year. I may not light my own stoves in these parts, and I may take the bus, but something I learned in the woods was the importance of choices. I’m not Thoreau, but I want to live as deliberately as I can.

Uncle Ebenezer and DJ Riddle get another free t-shirt Eight DJ

unlucky freshmen got me,.UNCLE EBENEZER as a FAC. When I found out that this involved waking up before noon I passed the torch on to RIDDLE.

Dear Future Wealthy Donor, You may wonder why you are receiving this letter.

Let me tell you. My name is DJ RIDDLE, and I am your First-Year Advisory Counselor. Duke has appointed me to help you and seven other equally stupid (but hopefully hot) freshmen make the transition to life at Duke.

It should look pretty sweet on my resume, plus I get a funky free t-shirt.

It’s perfectly normal to be feeling a bit apprehensive right now. You’re heading to a new place to live with a random person in a room smaller than North Carolina can legally give to prison inmates. You’re leaving your loser high school friends and wealthy family behind for the enchanted city of Durham. Don’t feel bad about leaving your friends behind, instead take solace in the fact that they’re at state schools (where all they do is drink lots of cheap beer and watch sports), while you’re at Duke...doing...much better things. So hopefully you’ll feel a little more comfortable after reading this letter.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. First off, I’m in a frat. It’s awesome. I am from New Jersey, and I am a pre-med econ major with a minor in bio. I got into Duke because I am special, just like everybody else. Did I mention I’m in a frat? It’s awesome.

What will I do to help you? I’ll start by giving you a

campus tour. On the tour, I’ll point out all the notable spots on campus: where the basketball players live, Pauly Dogs, the Chapel, the place where I booted last Easter, the office where you go to drop Math 32, the best gate arms to break off, and many other campus hot spots. After that I’ll probably ditch you for my friends.

A few tips before you start your college career; Call your roommate ahead of time. This way you can be sure to find out of s/he has any undesirable traits and can alot sufficient amounts of time to preparing yourself accordingly. Also you can plan who will bring the fridge. I would advise pretending to be poor. This way you can guilt trip your roommate into buying all the appliances. Take some time before you call to think of cute icebreaker jokes. For example, DJ RIDDLE asked his Turkish roommate if he went home for Thanksgiving. Poor guy didn’t get the Joke though.

Maybe because it was 4 a.m. his time when I called.

Think of a cool nickname for

pressed if you tell them repeatedly how you were a state champion and could have played in college.

Caffeine pills. 9:10 sounds like a late start for morning classes, but it’s quite a bit harder to get out of bed in the morning when you’ve been drinking 12 nights in a row. Don’t worry though, unless you are in Pratt you will soon have a schedule with no morning classes and Fridays off. For the afternoon classes when you are awake pick up a Chronicle for the crossword. Don’t be thrown off by the summer issue, the Chronicle is not normally that big and Mike Corey does not usually type up his interviews with Coach K while drunk and getting drunker.

One dollar bills. You’ll need them for the 4 D’s; Delivery Drivers and Dockside Dolls. Have I told you about DDS yet? My frat runs it. We’re pretty awesome.

BMW and accompanying attitude problem. Parking is a real hassle, but you should avoid the bus at all oasts.

If you know any current Duke students, they may tell member you. If you’re on the cross you that your FAC won’t try to hook up with you or give you al“Speedy” ™igh t cohol, but will disappear after the first week. Let me dispute you’re thinking about joining a fraternity, just tell people your last claims by saying that only Q u K“»»»UU doina murh Pcilci better these ng...mUCn name and be sure to always wear the third one is true. I’ll hook things." your hat backwards. you up with all the free booze Some tips for the first few you want, then put the moves weeks of school: on you. Assuming it doesn’t Casually mention your SAT work (it likely won’t), you’ll score in every conversation. You’d be surprised how never hear from me again much people care.

Also, they require me to have you ask your parents Remember, it is best not to let anyone know you’re to give to the annual fund. So if you could just do that, a freshman. Disguise this fact by traveling in large that’d be greeeaaat. Thanks, your loving FAC. groups whenever possible.

Some things you might want to bring with you: We’re out like Michael J. Fox in Jenga High School letter Jacket. Other students are very interested in your high school accomplishments. After Uncle Ebenezer and DJ RIDDLE’s column appears every all, very few played any varsity sport and will be very imMonday. You can count on it.
