Councils delay dean's excuse vote 1 month University continues operating sans policy after Pratt faculty fail to show by

lan Crouch

THE CHRONICLE

The Arts and Sciences Council was all dressed up but had nowhere to go during its first meeting of the year Thursday.

A joint session of the A&S Council and the Engineering Faculty Council failed to approve a new dean’s excuse policy because only one member of the EFC showed up, delaying a vote for possibly a month. With the non-vote, there is currently no policy in place to deal with students who miss a test or paper due to illness.

“It is unfortunate that we couldn’t have a vote because we remain in a situation of limbo,” said William Chafe, dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences.

While some in the council expressed the desire to immediately deal with the problem in a special joint session before next month’s scheduled A&S Council meeting, others said the issue could wait.

“It is not going to be a disaster to con-

tinue without a policy,” chemistry professor Alvin Crumbliss said, pointing to the fact that there has been no policy in effect so far this year.

Chemistry professor James Bqnk, who chaired the committee that re-examined the policy, suggested a special joint council session should be held in Hudson Hall to better accommodate the engineering faculty members who did not make Thursday’s meeting. Four members of the EEC are required to reach quorum for a vote.

Chafe charged a committee in May to establish a new dean’s excuse policy after Director of Student Health Dr. Bill Christmas announced last fall that health care workers would no longer issue medical excuses to students. This announcement meant that the old dean’s excuse policy, which required confirmation of illness from a medical professional, was no longer tenable.

THE CHRONICLE

After surviving land mines and a 12hour flight, Weekend Excursion returns from performing for American military personnel around the world to play at the Great Hall tonight at 10 p.m.

The concert, hosted by Campus Council, marks the first stateside show for the local band in over two months.

“I think that their trip [was] a neat opportunity and I hope they talk about it during their set,” said Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli.

Weekend Excursion played at exotic locales such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bahrain, Hawaii, Korea and Japan. Averaging five shows a week for the U.S. troops, the band relished the opportunity to help raise morale.

“This experience changed me,” said lead singer Sam Fisher. ‘We went over with the idea that we would give them a piece of home and just to shake their hands and to thank them for what they did for us. It was amazing.”

The band members, who returned to the States Monday, said they are still “recuperating” from their life-altering tour of U.S. military bases around the world.

Microsoft discovers software flaws by

Ted Bridis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Moments before WASHINGTON a top Microsoft executive told Congress about efforts to improve security, the company warned Wednesday of new flaws that leave its flagship Windows software vulnerable to Internet attacks similar to the Blaster virus that infected hundreds of thousands of computers last month.

Microsoft urged customers to immediately apply a free repairing patch from its Web site, www.microsoft.com The company cautioned that hackers could seize control over a victim’s computer by attacking these flaws.

“We definitely want people to apply this one,” said Jeff Jones, Microsoft’s senior director for trustworthy computing. Outside researchers and Microsoft’s own internal reviews discovered the new flaws after the Blaster infection, he said.

Outside experts said some flaws were nearly identical to problems exploited by the Blaster worm, which spread last month with devastating damage. Computer users who applied an earlier patch in July to protect themselves still must install the new patch from Microsoft.

‘They’re as close as you can be without being the same,” said Marc Maiffret, an executive at eEye Digital

Security Inc. of Aliso Viejo, Calif., one of three research groups credited with discovering some of the new problems.

“It’s definitely a big oversight on Microsoft’s part that they missed these.”

Maiffret speculated that because of the similarities, hackers could launch attacks against unprotected systems as early as day’s end. “This is an instant replay of a few weeks ago,” he said.

A vice president at Network Associates Inc., Robin Madock, agreed that corporations, government agencies and home users will race the clock before the next attack. “Without a doubt, this is a nasty vulnerability. It could easily be exploited,” she said.

Israeli Cabinet debates expelling Arafat by

Karin Laub

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM

Seeking a dramatic response

to

the lat-

est Hamas suicide bombings, Israel’s security Cabinet debated Thursday whether to expel Yasser Arafat, and the Is-

raeli foreign minister said a majority of his colleagues support the idea.

Arafat said: “No one can kick me out.”

The United States continues to oppose expulsion, Israeli officials said, and it was unclear whether Prime Minister Ariel Sharon would block Arafat’s ouster, despite growing public pressure in Israel for drastic action.

Eight of the 11 members of the security Cabinet are in

favor of expulsion and two are opposed, Israel TV said.

Sharon has not made his view public.

The ministers also were expected to weigh other responses to Tuesday’s twin bombings that killed 15 Israelis.

One would tighten Arafat’s isolation at his West Bank headquarters by keeping out visitors and cutting off phones; another is to reoccupy the Gaza Strip, where the Hamas leadership is based.

In a first response to the bombings, Israel stepped up its campaign against Hamas, dropping a half-ton bomb on the home of senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar on Wednesday. Zahar survived, but his eldest son and a bodyguard were killed.

School

of Law

encourages

public service by

Andrew Gerst

THE CHRONICLE

With a typical student debt load of over $BO,OOO after law school, it’s no wonder that many aspiring attorneys dodge the public interest route.

But even in the wake of a bleak report from the American Bar Association last month—which cited law school debt as a major obstacle to public service careers—Duke’s School ofLaw is largely keeping the faith.

From 1992 to 2002, according to the report, median tuition at private law schools jumped 76 percent, from $14,159 to $24,920. Tack that on to a 28 percent rise in cost of living, and you’ve got fewer and fewer students willing to turn down an average private practice starting salary of $90,000 for the $36,000 a public interest job lands.

‘The legal profession,” the report states, “cannot honor its commitment to the principle of access to justice if significant numbers of law graduates are precluded from pursuing or remaining in public service jobs.”

A quick look at the employment statistics might make it seem that the School ofLaw is no exception.

Eighty percent of the Class of 2002 found work in the private sector; only three percent went to public interest or government jobs.

But Anne Akwari, senior career specialist at the office of student affairs, said students seem to be more interested in public interest work than they have been for years.

Work at think tanks, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice, for instance, is perennially popular, Akwari said.

Police unveil 'crime mapper'

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

The Durham Police, Department recently unveiled a new Internet tool that allows current and prospective residents easy access to area crime statistics.

The “crime mapper,” which can be accessed from DPD’s website, taps into city and county crime databases and maps specific types of crime by location. Officials stressed that the crime mapper is still a work in progress but noted positive feedback from those who have tested out the system.

Linda Moiseenko, program coordinator for Duke Community Housing, added a link to the crime mapper from the community housing website, noting that graduate and undergraduate students looking to live off campus can use the system before deciding where to live.

“Students come into my office wanting to live in a safe area, but ‘safe’ is really something they need to determine for themselves,” Moiseenko said. “Part of living in a safe area is knowing about area crime, and now that the information is on the Internet it’s easier for them to

find what they’re looking for.”

Before the crime mapper went online, residents could obtain crime information from local newspapers or by calling DPD and requesting a report, but Moiseenko said these methods produced inaccurate or slow results, re-

spectively.

Reyn Bowman, president of the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau, said that crime information passed along through the media or by word of mouth was not very useful. “With anecdotal reports, you don’tknow if it’s the same crime talked about 10 times, or 10 different crimes,” he said. “Plus, you don’t know the locations of the crimes, so it creates a generalized sense of unsafety.”

Bowman said the crime mapperresolves these issues, allowing residents to get straight facts that pertain to their own neighborhoods.

“Now people can get data for their areas rather than in big districts,” he said. “They won’t feel generally unsafe so the police department will be able to better orSEE CRIME MAPPER ON PAGE 6

North Korean nuclear plant ceases operations John

Lumpkin by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Plutonium reprocessing activity at a key North Korean site has apparently ceased, U.S. officials said Thursday.

It is unclear why the North Koreans stopped work at their reprocessing plant at Yongbyon, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Presumably, they either chose to stop or had technical problems at the plant.

Unless something broke, the plant could be restarted at any time.

The plant turns spent nuclear fuel rods into plutonium that can be used in nuclear weapons. It is the only plant the North Koreans are known to have. At the same site is a nuclear reactor that can make the spent fuel rods.

Also Thursday, officials said North Korea appears to be developing a new intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States. The missile has not been tested yet.

The North Korean move at its nuclear site in Yongbyon was first reported in Thursday editions of the Los Angeles Times.

The U.S. officials declined to say precisely when activity at the Yongbyon stopped, although other officials had said as recendy as last month that low-level reprocessing was under way.

The North Koreans restarted the reactor at Yongbyon in late February. They are also thought to have accessed some 8,000 ready-to-reprocess spent fuel rods that had been in storage.

Reprocessing work may have begun sometime in the late spring or summer.

It is unclear whether North Korea could have reprocessed enough spent fuel to make a nuclear weapon.

Washington estimates they already have at least one or two.

Experts had previously estimated that running the plant at full speed could make five or six new nuclear weapons out of the 8,000 rods at the rate of one a month. But

officials had previously described the activity at Yongbyon as minimal.

The North Koreans claimed they finished reprocessing the rods in April, but Western intelligence officials do not believe them.

Their new missile may have a range of 9,400 miles, a distance within the range of any U.S. state or territory, two U.S. government officials said.

Until now, the limit of North Korea’s missile range was thought by U.S. defense experts to have been Alaska or Hawaii for heavier payloads and the western half of the continental United States for lighter

payloads.

Whether Pyongyang could reach U.S. targets with a nuclear warhead is not clear; officials are not certain whether their nuclear weapons are small enough to fit on their missiles.

Some officials said the new missiles based on Russia’s SS-N-6 “Serb,” a Sovietera, submarine-launched ballistic missile.

This suggests cooperation, at a minimum, from Russian scientists or other entities, the officials said.

The administration has raised the issue with Russian government officials, who indicated surprise and disapproval of the activity, according to the U.S. officials.

However, other U.S. officials said the North Korean missile may be based on an indigenous design, rather than a Russian one.

North Korea’s possession of missiles with a range covering almost half the planet could add a troubling dimension to its dispute with the United States over its nuclear weapons program.

In the absence of a proliferation agreement, the North could cap its missiles with nuclear warheads, which would leave U.S. cities vulnerable to attack.

North Korea has maintained a moratorium on missile tests since 1998, but the country is believed to be obtaining information about its missile viability from Iran.

Malaria hits News Briefs high number of Marines

Towerview booth to be manned

Pauline Jelinek

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Navy doctors are investigating what they say is an unusually high rate ofmalaria among Marines who were in Liberia last month on a peacekeeping mission.

Three more patients turned up with symptoms and are being treated aboard the USS Iwo Jima off the West African coast, bringing the number of ill Wednesday to 46, said Master Sgt. John Tomassi of the U.S. European Command.

That represents some 20 percent of 225 Marines and Navy personnel who went ashore last month, a surprising number since the anti-malarial drug they were given is normally highly effective in preventing the mosquitobom illness. The number of confirmed cases among the 46 now stands at 18, up from 13 Tuesday, Tomassi said.

Doctors are closely watching the rest of some 225 who went ashore, an unknown number of whom also are reported to have complained of body aches, one of the symptoms, said Capt. Greg Martin of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. ‘There are .a lot of questions about this,” he told a press conference Tuesday in the Washington suburb of Bethesda, where most of the patients were taken.

Doctors are looking into three possibilities for the outbreak, he said: The strain of malaria troops got has become resistant to the dmg they were taking, troops didn’t take it correctly or the dmg had gonebad or there was a flaw in its manufacture.

All going ashore are being switched to another antimalarial in case resistance is the problem, doctors said.

Meanwhile, 16 of those hospitalized in Bethesda were discharged, spokesperson Lt. Cmdr. Chito Peppier said Wednesday. There was no further information on their condition or what further care they might need.

The three new patients remaining aboard the Iwo Jima are a Marine, an Army soldier and a civilian.

Previously, 43 Marines and sailors with more serious cases had been evacuated from their ships for hospitalization. They all had goneashore in Liberia from the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima and the amphibious landing dock USS Carter Hall, officials said.

Five of those evacuated have serious cases, including two patients with cerebral malaria. But all are expected to recover, said Lt. Cmdr. David Blazes, a doctor who specializes in infectious disease and is caring for those brought to Bethesda.

Martin said the Marines and sailors started taking the antimalarial d*ug mefloquine in late June or early July in a regimen that requires troops to begin dosing two weeks in advance of a deployment, then take the drug weekly thereafter until they have been out of the risk area for a month.

The military also gives troops a repellent cream containing DEET and mosquito netting.

Col. Jay DeFrank, a Defense Department spokesperson, said the Marines, members of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., were in Liberia in mid-August as part of a U.S. quick-reaction force of about 150 troops. They operated from an airport outside Monrovia, the capital, for about 10 days.

Others went back and forth from the ships to land, sometimes for as little as a couple ofhours at a time.

Doctors said they are asking the patients whether they took their drugs faithfully, whether they slept inside or out at night and other pertinent questions.

Of the 43 evacuated to hospitals, 41 were taken to Bethesda and two were transported to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany in the flights that began over the weekend.

Officials said that as a precaution, movements of Marines ashore in Liberia from the Iwo Jima, Carter Hall and another ship off the Liberian coast were being limited for the time being.

About 136 American troops still are ashore in Liberia, mostly Marines providing security at the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia. The Iwo Jima and two other ships off the coast carry about 2,200 Marines and about 2,500 sailors.

Ridge joins Coach K conference Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge has announced that he will be participating in the second annual Coach K and Fuqua School ofBusiness Conference on Leadership, to be held Oct. 19 through Oct. 21.

Ridge joins a group of 23 speakers who have commit-

ted to the event, including CNN news anchor Lou Dobbs, former NBA All-Star David Robinson and Pricewaterhouse Coopers President James Donald.

“We will be even more focused this year than last on what it takes to be a leader in the board room, on the court or wherever you are called on to lead,” said men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski in a statement. “People coming to Duke will not only learn from an array of proven leaders but also network with each other to become better leaders.”

PMAC educates students on C2K nuances The Pre-Major Advising Center has created a quiz for undergraduates on Curriculum 2000 whereby they can see whether they are sufficiently informed about the ins and outs of the matrix.

Curriculum 2000 is currently being discussed by a committee headed by biology professor Steve Nowicki.

The committee will report its findings and suggest possible modifications to Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe by the end of the fall semester.

terest] careers have an affinity for certain constitutional principles,” Akwari said. ‘They enjoy seeing the fruits of their labor, which can be a little more difficult when your client is a company.”

Carol Spruill, associate dean of public interest, pro bono and special projects, said the employment data is simply misleading.

“More people are making that initial job choice unduly persuaded by debt,” Spruill said. “But looking at that 3 to 5 percent who go to public interest is just the narrowest way to look at it, because that’s only their first j0b.... People are still making their way to service in one way or another.”

Others, however, are doubtful. Scott Goldstein, a third-year law student and treasurer of the Public Interest Law Foundation, said he thinks the career switch is not a real option for most lawyers.

“You get caught up in a lifestyle,” Goldstein said, adding that he’s likely to work at a private firm. “When you’re at a big firm in New York, associates can start at $lOO,OOO a year. When you’re pulling down thatkind of money, you get a big house, have a family and kids and family expenses. You get used to having thatkind of income, and it’s not that easy to say, ‘Okay, I’m going to reduce my income by two-thirds.’”

But the law school is one of approximately 56 schools to offer a loan repayment assistance program specifically designed to aid public interest counsels.

The LRAP works on a sliding scale such that a Duke law graduate making $35,000 a year has 100 percent of their loans repaid and one making $60,000 receives no assistance. Spruill said a cap of $200,000 in total yearly assistance exists but has never been reached.

“Without the [LRAP] help, I don’t think you could take a $30,000 position and then pay off that $BO,OOO debt,” Spruill said. “That would require huge sacrifices.”

Through the LRAP, the law school forgave a total of $169,100 last year, more than double the $77,733 it forgave 10 years ago. Individual grants ranged from $1,757 to $18,246, with a median grant of $9,394.

The system immediately draws a map of the location with dots representing where each type of crime occurred and also charts the frequency ofeach specified crime.

“We had heard from various community groups that this type of service was a real need,” said Maj. Charles Tiffin, DPD chief of investigative services. “We think it will be a really useful tool for citizens to understand what the crime situation is or isn’t in a particular area, or even all over the city or county.”

Tiffin said the crime mapper data goes back to 2002 and will be updated regularly from now on. He added that the system, which will be tweaked as DPD receives more feedback from users, could serve as a model for the rest of the state.

“I presented the system at the [Partners Against Crime, District Two] meeting Monday night and came out with an entire page of suggestions that citizens thought could make it even more useful,” Tiffin said.

He added that the system will eventually break down crime by neighborhood so that users can search an area without having to know a specific address.

Bowman said the crime mapper could cause some initial anxiety amongst Durham residents, as they will now be able to maintain awareness ofall the different crimes transpiring nearby.

“Now all this information is in front of you, whereas before you could only see a little at a time so you didn’t see how much existed,” Bowman said. “But people quickly adapt, and we’ll eventually be able to use this information to our benefit.”

Newman Aguiar, former chair of the PAC2 crime information task force, said having information immediately available for residents can help prevent smaller crimes by augmenting programs such as the upcoming Citizens on Patrol program, which can use the crime maps to determine which areas are in greatest need of patrols.

Bowman added that major crimes can also be diminished by preventing minor crimes. ”

private sector has not been easy. Until the spring of 2002, the LRAP sliding scale maxed out for students with a salary of $35,000—a figure that had not been adjusted in 10 years. Only after a student lobbying effort, led by Kendra Montgomery-Blinn, Law ’O3, did the changes take place.

“It’s a real tribute to the students who were part of the public interest work,” said Dennis Shields, associate dean of admissions and financial aid. ‘They did almost all the legwork of comparing our program to those of peer institutions and put together a fairly significant proposal... that was to raise the salary cap and make us think about how we treat this.”

Meanwhile, the Public Interest and Pro Bono Center, which Spruill heads, sponsors a number of initiatives geared to spur student involvement, including an overnight retreat, service groups and a Southern Justice mission during spring break.

This year, the law school has also launched the Pro Bono Pledge, calling for a voluntary commitment to 50 hours of law-related community service over students’ time at the school.

The Public Interest Law Foundation provides another option for students curious about thinking outside private practice. The group raises money throughout the academic year and divides it among eligible law students. Last year it offered 40 grants for students to do public interest law work over the summer.

“I think the student loan debt is a real concern... but I sense a really palpable commitment to pro bono work among my fellow law students,” said Debbie Murphy, a second-year law student and PILF co-chair.

“A lot oflaw students will strike a compromise by finding a law firm that gives a salary that lets them pay [the loans] back, but will ask a lot of questions during the interview about [the company’s] commitment to pro bono work. They want to find a real balance.”

Murphy added that public interest work does not always mean it has to be pro bono, or free.

“People think if you’re going to work in public interest, you’re going to make no money and you starve,” Murphy said. “But all lawyers, no matter what kind of job, can make a commitment to give back to their community.”

the Keohanes would rule out parting ways with the University after their fellowship ends.

“We know that being at Duke teaching political science has been very attractive to us both,” said Robert Keohane. “We’d like to be back here, and it would take some extraordinary opportunity that we don’t know about now to let us reconsider.”

President Keohane said she and her husband have asked any potential recruiters to refrain from contacting them about job offers for the next few months.

“We’ve deliberately said to anybody who might be thinking about making us an offer that we don’t even want to think about anything until certainly late fall, early winter,” she said.

For now, at least, the president said she is eager to get back into her work in political philosophy after serving as president of Duke and, prior to that, Wellesley College.

“I know some people say, ‘How on earth can she be serious about getting back to scholarship after 23 years in administration? She’s smoking something.’ And if I were a geneticist, or a physicist or even a historian... it would be hard,” she said. “But in my field, the primary sources are the thing.”

She has already been moving toward academia in her last year as president, agreeing to teach a course on inequality in the spring with political science research professor Peter Euben. She added that at CASBS and beyond, she would contribute more of her own ideas to the field of political philosophy than she had in her previous stints as a professor at Swarthmore College, the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford.

Her opportunity to study and think will be granted at CASBS. Mark Turner, associate director of the center, described a beautiful, secluded enclave for only the best scholars. It is closed to the public, a chef prepares lunch every day and a library service brings the fellows any books they may desire.

“There’s no audience, there’s no one watching what these people do and they’re all at the top of their field,” Turner said. “They don’t have to worry about distractions.”

The Keohanes will be in elite company at CASBS. The selection process tends to be extraordinarily rigorous, with Turner saying it is “almost impossible” to become a fellow. Individuals must be nominated and then 1 percent of that group are selected to form a class of 40 to 50 fellows. In political science, 98 percent of the members of the National Academy of Sciences have been invited to the center. The Keohanes have been fellows at the center twice before.

“From a social scientist’s point of view, it’s a pretty ideal situation,” Robert Keohane said. “The one drawback is you don’t have any excuses not to get any work done. So you can’t say, T was on so many committees. I had so many students knocking on my door, I couldn’t get anything done.”

The center is located on Stanford-owned land but is independent of the university. It was created by the Ford Foundation in the mid-1950s and is supported by numerous foundations and its own small endowment.

Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe addresses theArts and Sciences Council Thursday.

DEAN'S EXCUSE fro.page,

which will continue to be carried out by the deans. The distinction between a shortterm and long-term illness was described

by Bonk in his presentation.

“This is sort oflike pornography,” Bonk said. “A dean can recognize a long-term illness when he sees one.”

Also Thursday, Chafe—who is stepping down as dean at the end of this year—made his last “State of Arts and Sciences” address to the council, reflecting on successes in the past and highlighting challenges for the future. In the face of current budget constraints, he praised the faculty and made the case for caution in the shortrun to allow for long-run growth.

“I am confident that the plans we have put in place for ensuring financial stability over the next five years will provide a solid foundation possible for sustaining our momentum forward,” Chafe said.

IN OTHER BUSINESS: Elections for two positions on the Executive Committee were also held Thursday. The council elected Professor of English and Literature Susan Willis from the humanities and Associate Professor of History John French from the social sciences. Two more vacancies will be filled in October by representatives from the natural sciences.

The last part of the form would have a paragraph concerning the Duke Community Standard. In printing their name at the bottom of the form, students would affirm compliance to the standard and promise not to use the absence to gain an unfair advantage over their classmates.

After Bonk’s presentation, debate on the procedure and wording of the new policy held the council over its scheduled adjournment time, causing many of those in attendance to walk out.

Much of the debate concerned the language of the e-mail form. Many council members voiced concern that the conditions were too narrow and advocated greater flexibility in the agreement between students and professors about accommodating illness.

“I don’t want the Arts and Sciences Council to tell me what I should have on my syllabus,” Crumbliss said.

The proposed changes would not alter the current long-term illness procedure,

Jesse Shuger-Colvin CHRONICLE THE

BOBBY RUSSELL/THE CHRONICLE

teshman HilaryLinton has been a consistent offensive threat for the Blue Devils thus far in 2003,

This weekend there will be a showdown in Durham between the top dog and the up-and-comer of the college field hockey world.

Duke (4-0) will open its conference schedule this Saturday afternoon at Williams Field against visiting Wake Forest (3-0).

The game is not an ordinary contest, however.

It will be a battle of two of the country’s top-five teams. The Blue Devils are currently ranked No. 5 in the latest STX/National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll, while the Demon Deacons hold the No. 1 spot.

In addition, Wake Forest was the 2002 ACC and NCAA tournament champion. The Demon Deacons eliminated Duke from both postseason tournaments last year.

And even though a win against the defending champions would help to elevate Duke’s program to a new level, the pressure remains on the Demon Deacons, Duke head coach Beth Bozman said. “[Because of our high ranking] it is pressure on everybody else, and it puts a lot of pressure

on Wake,” Bozman said. “We are going into this as a no-lose situation for us rea11y....”

“I don’t think scary is the right word [to describe Wake Forest.]

They are a good team, but I think we are looking forward to playing a good team. It is just a good measuring stick for us.”

The Blue Devils have yet to be tested in a close game, but they have played about as well as possible in their first four games. Duke outscored its opponents 30-1 in those contests, although it struggled with penalty corners last

Sunday

against

Appalachian

State, a phase ofits game Bozman said the team improved upon substantially this week.

Wake Forest, meanwhile, has faced much stiffer competition in its opening games, but has managed to emerge unscathed as well. The Demon Deacons slipped past No. 9 lowa 1-0 in overtime in their season opener and defeated No. 7 Michigan 4-2 in Ann Arbor last week.

Both Wake Forest and Duke routed their only common opponent thus far, James Madison.

Does arguably even better individual talent and a summer of various amateur championships lead to a national championship? The 20032004 Duke golfers will tell that story.

When the Blue Devils begin their season today at the NCAA Fall Preview, they will begin the quest for their third national championship in five years. The team, ranked first in at least one of three national polls for the sixth consecutive year, tees off this weekend at the very course where they will likely contend for that third title—the Grant National Lake Course in Auburn, Ala. The team will face many of the same collegiate powers it will compete against for all the glory. But, despite the emphasis on the NCAA Championships, the team is vowing to take the season toumament-by-tour-

“That summer of good play is in practice and know that we are focusing on winning a national chamgoing to help us,” head coach Dan pionship,” senior Leigh Anne Hardin Brooks said. “There is a lot that they said. ‘Then each tournament do the can reach back and recall now and realize that they succeeded in other same and kind of use each tournapressure situations and that is everyment as practice for the NCAAs.” Joining Hardin in a strong leader- thing in golf.”

THE CHRONICLE

Reality smacked the men’s soccer team (2-2) in the face last weekend with a pair of 2-1 losses. The fact of the matter is the rest ofDuke’s schedule will not include cupcakes such as Liberty and Georgia Southern, teams that were easily dismanded by the Blue Devils to open the season. The meat of Duke’s schedule begins with a trek to Clemson, S.C., Sunday for a match against the No. 19 Tigers (2-2-1).

“We need to focus more on the quality of our play right now,” senior Jordan Cila said. “Our intensity, fitness and mental strength is fine, but we need to improve our quality.”

Last year the Blue Devils survived a double-overtime win against then-No. 2 Clemson in Durham, N.C. If Duke plans to start its ACC campaign with a victory', it will need to contain forward Andrew Borges, who has netted two goals for the Tigers this season.

After firing 14 shots in a 2-0 loss to St. Louis and batding to a 1-1 tie with Winthrop, Clemson’s offense appears suspect. Besides Borges, the Tigers have not fared well on the offensive this year, scoring only four goals in five matches. If the Blue Devils manage to strike early, senSEE SOCCER ON PAGE 16

Back-to-back wins? Duke hosts the Owls by

Robert Samuel

THE CHRONICLE

Normalcy in the college football world seems to mutate when Rice (0-1) and Duke (1-1) face each other.

Two years ago in Rice’s 15-13 win over the Blue Devils, the game began with Rice’s fans walking out of the stands through Duke’s bench onto the field to greet the Owls. Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, the students tried to disrupt the Blue Devils’ warm up. One drunkard was heard saying, “Where’s Krzyzewski now?”

‘That and the fireworks going off at Virginia [Aug. 30, 2003] were two of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen,” Duke head football coach Carl Franks said.

The Rice band was worth remembering, as well. The uniform of the band was as follows: Suit pants, dress shirt, classy vest, and the weirdest tie one could possibly fathom.

The band had no unity in foot apparel, either, as some musicians wore sandals, while others upped the ante to Chuck Taylor’s.

Every member of the band also wore a brimmed hat, but each topper was unique—one hat had feathers duct taped to it, another had a stuffed animal duct taped to it, and a third just had duct tape all over it Just when the situation could not seem to get weirder two years ago, according to members of the Duke football program, the PA system blared at halftime something to the effect of: ‘Jealous of Rice’s

higher average SAT score, endowment, and better football program Duke has tried to invade the Owls’ field.”

In a near fascist-like response, the crowd screamed relentlessly. Then people dressed as smurfs ran onto the field, supposedly serving as metaphors for the Duke team, Individuals representing the Rice team stole basketballs from the smurfs, alleging that they had conquered the basketball-oriented school. Another person, perhaps maybe the same drunkard as before, was heard saying, “Where’s Krzyzewski now?”

So what is the oddity for the rematch to be held at Wallace Wade Stadium at 6 p.m. Saturday? The Blue Devils are a 10point favorite, the first double-digit spread Duke has been on the positive side of in recent memory.

Who knows what other abnormalities will occur during the game, but the fact remains that the team that scores the most points in conventional football will win.

The 2001 loss to Rice was perhaps the most heartbreaking of Duke’s 0-11 season, as the team fumbled snaps just feet away from the endzone on both an impressive drive and a potential game-tying two-point conversion.

“You can’t dwell on it, it’s been two years though,” offensive lineman Rusty Wilson said. ‘We probably should have won. It’s tough to lose those games.”

It is still unknown who will start at quar-

terback for the Blue Devils this week. Mike Schneider, who started last week, has recovered from his concussion, and Adam Smith, last year’s starter, is still riding the momentum of his 120-yard, two-touchdown performance off the bench last week.

Still, it seems to be the perfect time for the Blue Devils to exact revenge with Rice coming off a 48-14 loss to Houston. In addition to its struggles against the Cougars, Rice will be without its starting quarterback Kyle Herm, who has damaged ribs.

But personnel is not quite as important for a team like Rice, whose triple-option offensive scheme keeps them competitive.

“It’s a variation of the wish-bone [offensive formation],” Rice head coach Ken Hatfield explained about his quirky offense. “It’s kind of a flex-bone and spread option combined. The biggest thing people relate the wishbone to is that it is a triple-option attack.”

Duke dealt with the option tremendously in its 43-17 win over Navy in 2002, but Franks feels the Owls’ option is much different and will require a better effort by Duke to stop it.

Franks added that Chris Dukes, who is sitting out this season because of NCAA transfer rules, did a great job in practice this week preparing the defense, as Dukes ran the option every day as a member of the Nebraska football team last season.

On the other side of the ball, Franks felt

that Rice’s defense would be much stronger against Duke than against Houston. “[Rice] played a lot of young guys [against Houston],” he said. ‘They are going to play a lot different than they played that week. I’m sure they feel this is a winnable game, and it’s important to get their season started.”

Hatfield was less confident about improvement.

“We’re going to find out if we’re the fast learners or the slow learners [Saturday],” Hatfield said.

Last week Franks was able to motivate his players for the game with the thought of avenging the embarrassing 27-0 loss to Virginia on the first week of the season.

This week Duke came off a 29-3 win over Western Carolina, but the man with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Duke feels he’s up to the task.

‘We’re all feeling good about ourselves,” Franks said. We had a good night Saturday, and it just feels different. You go around feeling too good about yourself you’re not going to work as hard as you need to. We want to keep getting that feeling, and pay the price [of hard work] every week.”

For Rice, though, it does not matter who starts, as they are just looking to salvage its reason.

“We need this game to have a competitive season,” starting Rice wide receiver Marcus Battle said.

A last-minute interception by Greg Gatlin and several Duke red zone errors doomed the Blue Devils. Rice quarterback Kyle Herm completed six passes for 47 yards on the 17-play,75-yard drive that gave Rice a lead it would not relinquish.

When Rice Has the Ball No matter who Rice puts on the field, its'triple-option offense is difficult to defend.The jury is still out on the Duke run defense, and the confusing Owl attack should provide a theater in which to more completely evaluate the Blue Devil game against the rush.

M atchup of the week:

Breakdown: Team Leaders

If the wishbone formation intimidates run defenses, it relaxes the secondary. Rice has never had a good passing game,and with the rib injury to starting quarterback Kyle Herm,the Owls'air attack looks more ominous than fearsome.

Field position could be key for the Owls with their impressive average of 25.6 yards per kick return on the season. With the injury to kicker Brent Garber, Duke's special teams have struggled. Expect gritty Rice to take full advantage of whatever weakness the Blue Devils show.

Good Running Game vs.

Good Rush Defense The Blue Devils run defense got off to a wretched start when they gave over 200 yards up to Virginia.The Blue Devils then dominatedWestern Carolina, giving up a negligible four yards. Which Duke run defense shows up against Rice's vaunted running attack could determine which team goes home with a win.

Ball

Chris Douglas, who was partially injured for nearly the entire 2002 season, is finally playing to his All-ACC potential Averaging nearly 100 rushing yards a game, Duke's all-time all-purpose yards leader has made up for 2002 team MVP Alex Wade's hamstring injury. Wade's leg improves every week, so expect the duo to run all over Rice.

Although it is unknown who will start at quarterback for the Blue Devils, it is known that Duke has two quarterbacks who can both get the job done. Expect Adam Smith and Mike Schneider to share snaps tomorrow en route to a successful passing day.

With Garber's injury, field goal kicking could be a problem. But with Chris Douglas thus far having a banner year, kick-off returns should continue to give the Blue Devils good field position. Franks is thinking about inserting a freshman into Garber's role, so expect some shaky legs.

The Blue Devils are favored by double digits for the first time since...no one can remember. Literally, no one The Chronicle interviewed even had a guess. Expect the Blue Devils to come out with confidence, but not over-confidence against an unintimidating team after a win against Western Carolina. Rice's triple-option offense will be tricky to defend, but the Owls have over 20 true and redshirt freshmen, making the Duke defense nearly as experienced with Rice's attack as the Owls are themselves. Expect the Duke offense to shine with both quarterbacks and running backs, and Rice to make several big plays in between rookie mistakes. Duke beats the spread in 34-14 defeat of the Owls.

and glad they are on our team.”

Barring a practice round yesterday, none of the Duke golfers have ever seen or played the Grant National Lake course they will compete on today. Through a friend, Lang learned that the course is not in terrific shape, and is not particularly challenging.

Recalling his experience coaching the team on the course in the mid 1990’5, Brooks said that the layout is fairly hilly a positive for the Duke team which is used to playing on a course with similar undulation at the Duke Golf Club.

And while winning this weekend’s NCAA Preview event would be a major victory for the team and a huge confidence boost especially for the freshman—the golfers will also be extra observant of the course, knowing they will be back in the spring to compete for the national championship.

‘Just the fact that we are going to be there for four days, they know that we are going to be learning, all the time and I will remind them and say, ‘You notice this course tends to be this way’ or ‘We might want to work on these shots a little bit, there tends to be a lot of them’,” Brooks said.

However, Brooks was also careful to point out that the course will likely be much different when the team returns in late May. “Hopefully we are going to get three good tournament rounds under our belt and leave confident knowing we have a good chance [in May],” Hardin said.

GOLF from page 11 her and I am happy for her that she is going to play the game without being in pain all the time.”

Replacing the graduated Kristina Engstrom and Maria Garcia-Estrada are a pair of freshman—Brittany Lang and Anna Grzebien. Lang is coming off a terrific summer, winning back-to-back amateur events the North-South Amateur and the Western Amateur. In the NorthSouth competition, the Texas native defeated a very tough opponent on the fourth playoff hole. In the finals of that same tournament, Lang notched five consecutive birdies on her way to victory.

“I started playing amateur tournaments and got a lot of confidence out of those two wins,” she said. “I was a little intimidated by the amateur stuff, but after I got into them I was relaxed and learned a lot.”

When the team tees off in Alabama today, both Lang and Grzebien will be on the course for the Blue Devils. Following rounds of intra-team qualifying and its positive attitude during practice, the team is confident with the freshman duo’s ability to perform on the course.

‘They are awesome,” Hardin said. ‘They don’t need any help.

Basically all I told them was what uniforms to bring. I help them with travel and things like that, but they know how to play golf and they are going to do well. I am confident —

HOCKEY from page 11 JuniorChrissie Murphy said a win Saturday would give Duke lots of confidence.

Confidence is indeed something Duke is going to need as it navigates its difficult schedule, especially its conference games. Despite fielding only five programs, the ACC is again the strongest conference in the country.

Out of the top-five ranked teams in the country, four are ACC schools—and Wake Forest is at the top of that list.

Saturday will be a batde of opposing styles as Wake Forest will look to hit the ball long while Duke will try to control it, a point Bozman has tried to repeat to the Duke players this week.

In addition, Bozman stressed the importance of playing at home.

“Home field can help everybody in every situation....”Bozman said. ‘We talked about it last week.

We want to keep this [Williams Field] our house. We Johanna Bischof has scored three goals and tallied seven assists, ranking the junior second in total points for Duke this season. don’t want people to enjoy playing in our house.”

SOCCER from page 11 senior sweeper Matt Ahumada and the rest of his defense should be able to pack it in and keep the Tigers out of Duke’s penalty area. “[Clemson] lost a tremendous amount of talent and they’ve played a very good schedule....” head coach John Rennie said. “It’s kind of like the preseason is over and this is the real thing. We expect nothing less of Clemson than a tremendous amount of effort.”

Unlike last season, the Blue Devils have been able to score often this year, netting 10 goals in four games. Although Duke only scored two goals last weekend, both losses were good experience for an upcoming schedule that features No. 1 Maryland, No. 2 Wake Forest and No. 5 North Carolina.

In the Duke backfield junior Matt White and freshman Kyle Helton hold down the fort on the outside ofAhumada. Giving up two hard-fought goals in each game last weekend, the Blue Devil defense was able to contain a quick University of California at Santa Barbara team for most of the match.

Duke is in need of a victory to redeem itself for last weekend and to send a message in its ACC game. Matches similar to this Sunday’s are all over Duke’s schedule, and the Clemson game will be a good indication of what is to come during the season.

“Both teams are in desperate need of a big win,” Cila said. “It doesn’t make or break a season but it can really catapult you to the next level.”

The Chronicle

The Independent Daily at Duke University

No excuse for A&S, Pratt Councils Lack of attendence at joint meeting of the councils leaves students without a dean's excuse policy for up to one month the majority of students are probably not aware, the last three weeks of the semester have past by without an official dean’s excuse policy in place. At the close of the Spring 2003 term, the old dean’s excuse plan, whereby students were required to obtain written verification of illness, became ineffective. At a joint session of the Arts and Sciences Council and the Engineering Faculty Council yesterday, a new plan—in which students would be personally able to excuse themselves from graded exercises—was supposed to be voted on. However, due to a lack of attendance on the part of the Engineering Faculty Council, the proposal was tabled until the next joint session one month from now. The issue of dean’s excuses is very important to students, and a special session of both councils should be called in the next several days to put a working excuse policy in place as soon as possible.

The plan the councils were supposed to approve today is a vast improvement over the previous excuse policy. Previously, a student’s word alone was insufficient evidence of illness to warrant an excuse. Under the new system, in keeping with the spirit of personal responsibility and integrity outlined in the Community Standard, a student’s word is all that will be necessary to obtain an official excuse. Further, officials have made the process of contacting professors and deans about an excuse extremely convenient—students only need to fill out a simple online form, most likely through ACES, which will be sent to their professor and also to their academic dean.

Up to this point, the fact that no excuse policy has been in place has not been a problem. This is due in large part to the fact that most courses have not yet had major tests or papers, so students have had no need for dean’s excuses. Approving the new excuse policy at Thursday’s meeting would have been perfect timing. However, there is now a very real danger that a number of students will need to make use of the excuse policy in some capacity before the next joint session of the councils next month.

Some amount of censure must be accorded the members of the Engineering Faculty Council who failed to attend the session Thursday. At least four members of the Engineering Faculty Council, in addition to the Arts and Sciences members already present, were required to put the policy to a vote—one member showed up. This issue is significant enough to warrant the attention of both councils.

With the semester coming into full swing, failing to implement a solid excuse policy is irresponsible and fraught with potential problems for students, professors and deans alike. In light of these concerns, a special session of the Arts and Sciences and Engineering Faculty Councils should be called to resolve the issue by early next week.

Lett ers to the Editor Dr. Mezzatesta has a bright future As I contemplated the recent Chronicle article regarding the Nasher Museum, I thought of Michael Mezzatesta’s strong qualifications fro a museum director as he seeks new worlds to conquer. I think it is important to look ahead on behalf of those who leave our campus.

Michael has impeccable credentials including a Ph.D. from the prestigious School of Fine Arts at New York University. He was one of the first museum directors to feature shows by student by student curators.

Several of the exhibitions he attract-

Ed were recognized nationally. The Louis Kahn show, for example, went from Duke to Harvard. I even remember having seen his name on a huge poster at the Fort Belvedere in Florence as one of the organizers of its Bernini exhibit.

I hope that when he is recruited by another institution, Michael will look back with pride on the remarkble museum at Duke for which he worked so enthusiastically for almost 17 years.

East Campus neighbor speaks out I am one of many Duke alums who is also a resident of Trinity Park. I share the frustration of my neighbors over noise and trash associated with parties at the off-campus houses while reading of the Duke students’ complaints that they are being treated unfairly and being denied their rights to socialize.

The issues seem very simple to me. If it is your understandable desire to live the life of a college student with the hours of a college student, then you really should live on a college campus.

While there are rules on a college campus, they are likely to be far more friendly to your lifestyle than the rules of “the outside world” where people generally have to live in away that is respectful of their neighbors.

Last night, Tuesday night, I was woken up at 2am by Duke students loudly shouting and talking behind one of the houses on Buchanan. No matter who is making the noise, most people would call the police if they are woken up in the middle of the night. I didn’t, but it was only because I was too tired

to! We have children who are sleeping and getting ready to get up and start their school day at 7:3oam. And most of us have jobs that require that we get up at 6:30a.m. or earlier in order to get in to work on time and/or get our kids off to school.

I assume that none of you would want me to blare music out my window, honk my horn, run my leaf blower or lawn mower at 6:3oam because you are probably pretty tired from the night before. And you can count on me and my neighbors not to do that. Please take this point of view when it comes to late night parties or gatherings. If you want to get together with friends, please do so without making it impossible for the rest of us to sleep and to enjoy our beautiful neighborhood. If you choose to get an early start on living in the “real world,” then you have to expect to be held to the standards to which the rest of us are held.

Cutthroat recruiting has no place at Duke

With

being one of the top institutions in the country comes the responsibility of staying at the top, and today’s universities will stop at almost nothing to ensure a school’s greatness is secure. A school’s administration is never at rest. It always has to be in attack mode, from buying up surrounding land for new buildings and building brand new parking garages to changing the name of a school’s honor code to some name like “community standard” without significantly changing the code itself.

Jonathan Pattillo Another disturbing trend that has developed in the competitive world of higher education is the aggressive methods schools have been taking to recruit the big boys of academia. It has become an integral part of the struggle to become top dog, and it is so far reaching that it affects tuition and a student’s learning environment. In efforts to achieve prestige, some schools will wave absurdly high salaries, automatic tenure and a free house to get them to come teach. The New York schools, Columbia and NYU, are offering posh Manhattan apartments, while Harvard is offering quaint Cambridge town houses—all for free. NYU recendy offered Oxford historian Niall Ferguson, in an attempt to

lure him to New York, a free Greenwich Village place and free weekly plane tickets from New York to London so he could keep in touch with his family back overseas. Unfortunately, we here at Duke can only offer free posh apartments off Ninth Street and season tickets to the Durham Bulls.

And what is the downside of trying to woo the new stars of certain subjects like they were fresh off American Idol? The downside is that we the students are paying for those professors’ free Durham Bulls tickets. Aggressive faculty recruiting is one of the reasons tuition is hitting the top side of $40,000. It’s also causing deeper resentment between other schools and leaving some school’s departments desperate to fill vacant positions as some professors begin acting like they were free agents in the NBA. Another bad detail that isn’t really mentioned on school tours when guides brag about the academic stars a school has is that these stars don’t teach that much. You’re lucky if they devote their full attention to the undergraduate student body. In fact, one of the incentives schools offer hot professors is a low class load (maybe one class a semester with lecturing twice a week). The ensuing result of this incentive is it leaves assistant professors and part-time faculty greatly overworked. The school’s administration will force graduate students and the assistant professors who make barely $30,000 to do the bulk of a professor’s research and fill in when the professor misses class. These people will be doing

the true teaching, not the celebrities of and inter-school relations up. Not only the department who are off working on would Duke be praised for being a their next book and doing five minute leader among learning institutions in spots on the Today show.

The Importance of Platonics

There

is one relationship that makes the college experience, and those going through it more complete: friendship with members of the opposite sex.

We spend so much of our time here focused on hooking up or involved in relationships that we overlook the significance of those whom I like to call the platonics. They are simply put, the male or female friends that hold nonsexual roles in your life.

In “When Harry Met Sally” the argument is that men and women can never be friends because sex always gets in the way. While I love that movie (there are two copies in my apartment) I have found that it’s premise is completely false. There is nothing I would like less than to have sexual relations with my guy friends. And I’m glad to know the feeling is mutual.

This sentiment is echoed by throngs of people on campus. Men and women can just be friends. It’s an uncomplicated idea, but the study of platonics at Duke proves to be far more interesting.

Sure having girl or guy friends is great, but forming those relationships is not so easy. It turns out the path to companionship in college isn’t cut and dry; it meanders. . .a lot. In many cases your platonic friends don’t start out as such. Often they become nonsexual buddies once they realize romance is not a possibility.

I remember being at the Marketplace freshman year and watching guys flirt with girls at brunch. Things would start out smooth, but as soon as she dropped the “b- word” also known as boyfriend, the conversation turned to “see you in class. Buh-bye.” That’s the beauty of the Marketplace: it doubles as a dining hall and meat market.

As for the ladies, after several failed flirtation atpreciated having platonic friendships.

But the different same time. But when I came to Duke, I found myself roles platonics play are not nearly as significant as how with an estrogen-heavy buddy list.

‘Residencies Create Blew Works, Buifd ‘Bridges ‘Among BfC Dancers

‘Dance

Duke’s Dance Program is already known for offering a wide range of dance styles, including, modem, ballet, African, Flamenco, swing dance, tap dance, capoeira, and even hip-hop. This year, they will host two long-term residencies by well-known artists that will add yet another dimension to the program.

Ronald K. Brown, one of today’s most successful choreographers who heads his own company, Evidence, will be in residence for a two-day Dance Intensive Weekend in the fall. He will return again in November and January to create a new work for students from both Duke’s dance program and UNC-Chapel Hill’s Modernextention dance group. The new piece, will be given two public performances at Duke in late March as part of the Choreolab mainstage production in Reynolds Theater.

During the weekend of October 31-November 1, at the venerable Ark Dance Studio on Duke’s East Campus,

students from seven area colleges and universities, in addition to Duke, will be able to take part in the Dance Intensive. Those included are NC State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, Meredith College, UNCGreensboro, NC Central University, Elon University, and NC A&T University. The weekend will feature classes, repertory workshops, group meals, and planning sessions to talk about ways the programs can work together on future projects.

Ronald K. Brown’s work is often rooted in historical events. While he is influenced by Congolese, AfroCarribean, modem, and hip-hop traditions, relevant social, cultural and political issues provide the thematic foundation for his signature movement style. For young dancers, this foundation speaks to their interest in the power of the arts to effect change and shed light on important social issues. Ron Brown has received numerous awards and fellowships attesting to his success, including a National Endowment for the Arts Choreographer’s Fellowship, a “Bessie” Award for NY Performance, and a Black Theater Alliance Award. He was named a Guggenheim Fellow in Choreography in 2000. His own company performs widely across the United States and in other countries, and has been featured in past summers at the American Dance Festival. Ron Brown’s residency is supported in part by a grant from the Duke Institute of the Arts. The Duke Dance Program has also been honored to receive a National College Choreography Initiative grant for the creation of the new work.

The other long-term dance residency this fall will focus on the North Indian style of dance called Kathak. Renowned Kathak dancer and teacher Kumudini Lakhia will be in residence on the Duke campus from September 25 to October 9. Ms. Lakhia has been a major force in performing and choreographing in the Kathak style for more than 50 years, and

1993-1995,red cedar and pine construction, 97 x 97 x 44 inches. He is mainly known for sculpture and his usual medium is wood.

Puryear is interested in minimalism and simplified shapes. The exhibition runs through February 1, 2004.

Koz’ma Prutkov: A View of St. Petersburg The literary figure, “Koz’ma Prutkov,” was an invention of several leading Russian artists and writers of the mid-nineteenth century, including Alexei Tolstoy. “Prutkov” symbolized the artists’ views of the bureaucracy of the day. They were “living and working in an epoch of stem rule and prescribed thought.” They wanted “Prutkov” to say in his works: “everything human is alien to me.” The exhibition contains fanciful illustrations of the “Prutkov” novel by Russian contemporary artists, and helps DUMA commemorate the celebration of the founding of St. Petersburg. The exhibition runs from September 18 through May 16, 2004.

Eric Pritchard-fatherhood with a violin

by David Heid Violinist Eric Pritchard has been at Duke since 1995 but is suddenly struggling to find practice time.

“My son Shea is only 11 weeks old....Having a child has been an amazing experience from the very beginning but at this point it’s having the effect of getting me to be really creative about finding time to practice usually after midnight or before 7 in the morning!”

-

And Pritchard has plenty to practice for these days. As the First Violinist for Duke’s resident Ciompi String Eric Pritchard Quartet, he maintains a very busy on and off-campus performing schedule in addition to his college-level violin students.

A quick glance at the fall arts events calendar at Duke sees the Ciompi in concert September 27, with world-renowned pianist Menahem Pressler, Pritchard serving as soloist for the Duke Symphony Orchestra’s series opening concert on October 8 and then the Ciompi’s appearance in the New Music Weekend in November featuring the famous Bang On A Can All-Stars.

The Duke Symphony concert, led by music director Harry Davidson, is titled “Sympathetic Spirits” and will feature Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 (Romantic) as well as Pritchard’s appearance for Mozart’s Adagio in E Major and Rondo in C Major.

“This will be the third time I’ve been invited to play with the DSO. It’s always a great pleasure to work with Harry Davidson and I feel that having so many of my own students in the orchestra really keeps me on my toes,” laughs Pritchard.

Appearing with celebrated pianist Pressler would keep anyone on their toes as well. “He was one of my teachers in chamber music at Indiana University when I was an undergraduate there, so it will be a bit of a reunion,” explains Pritchard. “The main thing is that we will have to be very well prepared for the program before he arrives because rehearsal time will be so limited our first rehearsal with him will be just one day before the concert!”

-

Balancing a studio of violin students and a high-profile performing career with fatherhood is complicated, but Pritchard clearly wouldn’t have it any other way. Son Shea seems to be trying to help already with the practicing dilemma. “Shea often loves listening to me practice and he’s already been to a couple of concerts!”

A future student perhaps?

SPECIAL EVENTS: Jean-Pierre Bekolo, an internationally critically acclaimed Francophone African filmmaker born in Cameroon, is known to subvert the conventions and didacticism ofAfrican film and literature with an aesthetic that "tosses it all merrily together."

This semester, he is the visiting faculty member for the Program in Film/Video/Digital. In addition to offering the course "Invisible Cinema", he will be presenting a special screening of his film "Quartier Mozart" on Monday, November 17 in the Griffith Film Theater. "Quartier Mozart" won prizes at film festivals in Cannes, Locarno, and Montreal and was nominated for a British Film Institute Award. The film mixes sorcery and urban realities in a satire of male and female roles.

Known as the master of African cinema, Jean-Pierre Bekolo has also taught film at Virginia Tech and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Quartier Mozart, Nov. 17, Griffith Theater, dir. Jean-PierreBekolo (French

&

Jean-Pierre Bekolo

Francophone)

(d. Jean-Pierre Bekolo, 1992, 80 min, Cameroon/France, French with English Subtitles, Color, 35mm) Winner of the Prix Afrique en Creation at Cannes in 1992, this humorous and magical tale is filled with the sexual antics that enliven a working class neighborhood in Yaounde. A girl takes on the body of a man and learns the true sexual politics of the men around her. In addition, the woman who helps her achieve this transformation metamorphoses herself into Panka, a comic figure who can make a man's penis disappear with a handshake. Presented by director Jean-PierreBekolo!

When the Khmer Rouge seized power in 1975, Chanrithy Him's father was executed and her family, stripped of all their belongings, were assigned to work in the labor camps. Public murders were routine, starvation and epidemics ravaged the population. From a family of 12, only 5 siblings survived, emigrating to America under the sponsorship of their uncle. Ms. Him's story is told in her award winning book When Broken Glass Floats.

Human Rights Film: The Will To Live, Dec. 2, 7pm Richard White Auditorium (d. Anne Gyrithe Bonne, 2003, Denmark, Color) Danish filmmaker Anne Gyrithe Bonne's The Will to Live is a documentary that focuses on people who have suffered brutal oppression and tragic loss, but who instead of harboring hate and seeking vengeance, have worked toward reconciliation with their oppressors. The film recounts the extraordinary lives of three "survivors" whose stories have been an inspiration to others: Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, prominent human rights activist and medical doctor JuanAlmendares of Honduras, and award-winning Cambodian-American author Chanrithy Him of the United States. Their courage and endurance are transcendent, and Bonne's probing footage mirrors the communities' differing perceptions of love, hate, and reconciliation, as it explores the possibilities ofredemption. Followed by a discussion with Ms. Chanrithy Him! Co-sponsored by the History Department.
