IFC bids up over last year by

Gone to Carolina, a win on their minds

THE CHRONICLE

Let the pledging begin Fraternities received word Tuesday as students rushing various groups were required to accept or decline invitations of membership. Todd Adams, assistant dean of students for greek life, said the Interfraternity Council had over 250 men accept bids this year, an increase from last year.

He noted that this year’s rush schedule was planned to accommodate various campus activities, such as men’s and women’s basketball games, but remained similar to that of 2003. The process for giving out bids was also modified to avoid conflicting with the Super Bowl—bids were handed out Monday instead of Sunday like previous years.

Adams said one of the reasons for the increased number of accepted bids was the presence of a new fraternity, Delta Tan Delta, which had 28 bids accepted.

“As far as numbers it has always been in the plan to. grow FRATERNITY RUSH as qU i c kly as we ON-CAMPUS DTD could,” President Peter Alpha Epsilon Pi 19 21 Alpha Tap Omega 17 22 Fernandez said.

GAME NIGHT INFO: (#1) Duke vs. (#l7) UNC Venue: Dean Dome Tip-off; 9 p.m.

Television: Ri locally, ESPN nationally by

Gabe Githens and Ted Mann THE CHRONICLE

The Thrill in Chapel Hill this Thursday will be a date with the Devil from the other side of town, as Tobacco Road’s fiercest rivalry is renewed. Head men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and the top-ranked Blue Devils travel a few miles down 15-501 for a head-on collision with the No. 17 Tar Heels in the Dean Dome tonight, looking to post their 16th consec-

utive victory and continue their recent dominance over their arch-nemesis.

The game marks Roy Williams’ muchanticipated first game against Duke at the helm of North Carolina (13-5, 3-4 in the ACC), and Tobacco Road is brimming with excitement at the renewal of a rivalry that has been all but one-sided the past two years. Duke (18-1, 7-0) has claimed 12 of the past 14 meetings between the teams, including four of the past five in

Chapel Hill, but Williams’ arrival changes

the tenor of the confrontation.

“You can tell it is more intense of a rivalry now that he is here,” sophomore guard Rashad McCants said. “It is more anticipated than it was before. [l’m] just waiting to see...how the game is going to be coached with two of the best coaches in college basketball. I’m excited.”

Panel discusses faith leadership DSG listens to safety update by

Emily Rotberg THE CHRONICLE

Guests greeted each other with “Asalaam aleikum” and “aleikum salaam” as they filed into Griffith Theater Wednesday, for Imam Warith Deen Mohammed’s speech on educating faith-based leaders.

Mohammed, the son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Mohammed and the man who left that movement to pursue Islam based in the Quranic tradition, remained quiet for much of the two-hour presentation. At his third speaking engagement on campus within two days, Mohammed relied largely upon a six-person panel for commentary.

The panel incorporated young leaders from a crosssection of undergraduate-aimed religious institutions, including the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, the Newman Catholic Student Center, the Self-Knowledge Symposium, Black Campus Ministries, United In Praise Gospel Choir and an area Islamic center.

Mohammed opened by advising young people interested in leading their faith communities to gather “support from those nearest” to help them “follow their best nature and best motivations.”

Courtney Wisotsky, a Jewish campus service corps fellow at FCJL, agreed. She said she understood the need for support for faith-based leaders, whose work can often be frustrating at such a secular campus as Duke. “People don’t often come to Duke with Jewish life in mind,” Wisotsky said.

Area pastor and Divinity School graduate Michael Walrond said he tries to excite students by encouraging them to find guidance in higher examples. Leaders, said Walrond, derive stamina and grounding from their moral beliefs.

Many panelists based their own leadership styles in models from their respective religions. Gretchen Crowe of the Newman Center cited her belief in Jesus, while Ed Cheely of the SKS noted the “transformational morality” of religion as a valuable guide. He said rather than merely following the rules, individuals should aspire to a more natural adherence to religious dictates.

As far as challenges to campus leadership, junior Brooke Spencer of Black Campus Ministries, noted fear of failure as a problem. “Faltering and starting over is not going to stofi me from anything I want to do,” Spencer said.

Crowe added that doubt in religion is another challenge to campus leadership, while Wisotsky said part of the difficulty in attracting participants to faith-based programming is the unique situation of college students.

Dawkins and Duke University Police Department Chief Clarence Birkhead.

Dawkins and Birkhead spoke for an hour to Duke Student Government at its meeting Wednesday, addressing issues of concern to undergraduates and telling senators about “Operation Silent Night”—the name for its response to the armed robbery.

“Part of the reason we’re here is to try to start a dialogue with [DSG], campus services and the campus police,” Dawkins said. “We want [DSG’s] involvement in a community policing model—particularly in reporting, for example, suspicious behavior.”

Operation Silent Night is an interdepartmental effort to increase the presence of security personnel on campus and to develop greater security measures, such as improved lighting and a more widespread use of cameras in high-risk areas.

The hallmark of Operation Silent Night is the use of staffers who were previously engaged in other departments for crime surveillance and prevention. More than 100 staffers—trained by DUPD and outfitted with neon vests, walkie-talkies and vehicles with flashing lights—are now in place to supplement regular security and police

patrols at night.

“We took other members of campus services and put them on campus in strategic places around campus to help to deter crime,” Birkhead said, citing increased personnel patrolling the Bryan Center, various high-travel areas on the quadrangles and particularly East Campus’s points of entry.

During the question and answer period, senator SEE SAFETY ON PAGE 4

IFC from page 1 year. Sigma Nu received 22 acceptances out of 25 offered, Alpha Tau Omega will have 17 members in its pledge class after five students declined a bid and Kappa Alpha Order offered 29 bids and received

20 acceptances.

Sigma Phi Epsilon President Matt Ivester said his group’s numbers were similar to last year’s with 25 students out of 34 accepting bids. He touted the communityenhancing nature of housing—which Sig Ep obtained in Edens Quadrangle last year—but downplayed its effect on the rush process.

“I think that having all of us together has made us a stronger brotherhood,” Ivester said. “But I think guys are joining Sig Ep because they want to be Sig Eps, not just because they want to get housing.”

residents’ permission, the teams will conduct interior inspections as well.

Reginald Goodson, associate director of Housing and Community Development and program coordinator, said inspections will occur once a week for the first six weeks and once a month for the remainder of the six months alotted for each neighborhood.

Inspections in Trinity Park should conclude around the beginning of August.

Although inspections did not officially begin in Trinity Park until today, a number ofTrinity Park residents reported receiving mysterious letters—from a fictional organization, Trinity Park Neighbors for a Better Neighborhood—pointing out various “violations” on their properties.

David Smith, president of Trinity Park Neighborhood Association, said many of the letters cite “violations” that are not ap-

al year. Sigma Chi extended a far larger number ofbids than it did last year—an increase from 17 to 30. With its new pledge class totaling 20, president Marc Mattoli said his group doubled its pledge class size from last year.

Chi Psi President Vito Mecca said his group had not received notice about all of its 10 bids, but nonetheless planned to begin pledging in a week’s time.

“Due to the fact that we have not received responses from all outstanding bids, I cannot give an accurate count as to how many pledges we will have for at least another week, when our pledging period will begin,” he said.

As on-campus fraternities had a greater total number of accepted bids than last year, Adams said that he did not think the non-IFC off-campus fraternities Eta Prime (formerly Kappa Sigma) and Delta Phi Alpha (formerly Sigma Alpha Epsilon) had an effect on the IFC retention figures.

“Our numbers aren’t showing that they have affected on-campus rush; in fact our acceptance rate was higher than its been in years,” Adams said. “Obviously we’re not seeing a decline in our numbers [and I] don’t know if there is a correlation.”

Despite a letter sent from Vice President of Student Affairs Larry Moneta to parents warning against students rushing off-campus fraternities last semester, both Eta Prime and Delta Phi Alpha were pleased with their yields.

Eta Prime rush chair Matt Sullivan, an associate sports editor at The Chronicle, reported that the group had offered 23 bids and had 17 students accept, 9 fewer than last year. Nevertheless, he pointed to the success of the rush process.

“In the face of everything the University threw at us, we mirrored the IFC schedule and came out with an awesome class,” he said. ‘The letter that the University sent to parents had no effect whatsoever on our

rush process, which I think was a lot more fun for kids than were those of the on-campus ffats. This is the second straight January that the school hasn’t been able to do anything to stop us from having a great pledge class, and it’s not going to stop anytime soon.”

Ryan Turner, vice president of Delta Phi Alpha, said he was also excited about the group’s 20 new members —only five bids were rejected. He also praised the results for Eta Prime, noting that the campus social scene was in flux. “[Eta Prime] got a great class and that’s great for us,” Turner said. “That further substantiates that things are moving in a new direction as far as the social scene at Duke.”

Beta Theta Pi leaders declined to comment on its rush figures.

Officials for Phi Delta Theta, Theta Chi and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternities could not be reached for comment.

East Campus have expressed concern that the inspections will be an invasion of privacy, as inspectors will be able to obtain administrative warrants to enter without residents’ permission if they have cause to believe a violation exists within the dwelling. “I’m trying to assure the citizens that the program is being implemented to benefit, not harm, citizens,” Goodson said.

He noted that his message seems to be getting through to.residents, with about 95 percent ofresponses from Trinity Park, Trinity Heights and Walltown neighborhood residents coming back positive. “A lot of people feel this is well overdue,” Goodson said.

Smith and Risa Foster, president of the Trinity Heights Neighborhood Association, said they have heard similar feedback from residents in the affected neighborhoods.

“People don’t think the city’s approach is a draconian violation of private space,” Smith said. “Everyone understands that the city has a broad responsibility to ensure that housing is up to code, and there’s a further understanding that what the city intends to do is what is dictated by the law.”

Both Smith and Foster said residents of Trinity Park and Trinity Heights will have little to fret over once inspections begin because homeowners in die two neighborhoods tend to maintain their properties.

They acknowledged, however, that enforcement of the zoning law prohibiting three

unrelated people from living in a single-family dwelling could be of particular interest to absentee landlords, renters and homeowners who live near rental properties.

“A number of students are worried and apprehensive about this,” Foster said. She added, however, that she did not believe the current campaign would focus closely on occupancy codes. Foster noted that Trinity Heights is not scheduled to be inspected until late summer.

Frank Duke, director of the Planning Department, said occupancy limits make up only a miniscule portion of the city’s zoning issues. In his two years on the job, the Planning Department has issued only one citation for a violation of occupancy codes. In all, he said, his department issues hundreds ofcitations every year for other violations.

Duke noted that it is often difficult to issue citations for residents who are in violation of maximum occupancy codes. The city must first obtain proof of a violation—a step Duke said was often dependent upon occupants’ cooperation. “The neighborhoods surrounding the university campuses have been very critical of the Planning Department because they say we have not enforced the law and that we routinely allow violations we know of to continue,” Duke said. “My response is that we may have a suspicion of a violation, but we have to have more than a vague suspicion to take action.”

MOHAMMED from page 2 ‘They are no longer experiencing religion through their parents’ lives,” Wisotsky said. Students who in the past would have been regular churchgoers have the freedom to simply sleep late on Sundays

once they move out of the house and into the dormitories, she explained.

In reaction to the extreme and varied schedules of college students, Wisotsky described initiatives to tailor programming more to student needs, including plans for Shabbat services in Krzyzewskiville before the Maryland and North Carolina basketball games.

Cheely downplayed the value of flexibility, calling the idea of shaping faith-based programming around students’ lives “backward.”

“When I first started with the SKS, I loved it because it made me feel absolutely horrible about myself," he said. ‘We have to continue to hold the bar high.”

Mohammed closed by assuring the audience of the viable future of religious

leadership.

‘The world is not lost,” he said. “We don’t need a lot of leadership, we just need good leadership. Sometimes the best leader isn’t the one who wants to be number one, but the one who wants to support number one.”

Wintta Woldermariam questioned DUPD’s use of racial profiling and charged that officers often treat black students unfairly. “If black students at Duke have a party on Central Campus, within 20 minutes it will be shut down,” she said.

Birkhead and Dawkins strongly countered her claim, saying DUPD prohibited the use of racial profiling. “I don’t condone racial profiling, and we have a very investigative policy in place if someone comes to us with a report of that,” Birkhead said.

Dawkins said he was willing to meet with student groups to open up dialogue on safety issues, and that his office was “especially sensitive to those [profiling] concerns.”

sor Brown will manage a smooth transition to CIEMAS.” Johnson noted that when Brady steps down in July, he will have left the center in a very strong position to cope with the change in leadership. “When David took a chance and came to build the center in 2001, we didn’t have anything. He put all the pieces together, and it has worked out really well,’’Johnson said. “The center’s future looks bright because David has built it into something that people will want to come lead, which is really the best thing you can do for your institution.”

Brady, the Addy Family Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, said he looks forward to his continued involvement with the Fitzpatrick Center. He will still head the Information Spaces Laboratory —one of five research labs in the Fitzpatrick Center—bringing the lab online in CIEMAS. He will also chair the electrical and computer engineering graduate studies committee, which is working on a novel vision for grad-

Some of his greatest contributions, however, will come through his research, Johnson said. “While David was director, his research really cranked up, so he was torn between serving two masters,” she said. “What he has chosen—research—is exactly what I want him to do.

It’s perfect.”

Brady currently leads the Duke Integrated Sensing and Processing group, whose research focuses on the integration of physical and digital processing in optical sensors is used in both biomedical and national defense applications. Brady said collaborations over the last three years with faculty members from computer science and mathematics have had a dramatic impact on the direction of his research, enabling him to work with his collaborators to build radically improved optical spectrometers and imaging systems.

Brady noted that, in view of the potential impact of this work, he and his collaborators have been awarded over $l5 million in federal research contracts in the past year and a. half. “I feel that I need to step away from my administrative role to ensure that the promise of our research is fully realized as quickly as possible,” he said.

In the next year,Brady will complete a manuscript on computational optical sensors that he has been working on for the past seven years, begin testing an in vivo optical blood chemical analysis system, and build a first prototype of a “thin” digital imaging system for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Looking back on his three years as director of the Fitzpatrick Center, Brady said his greatest accomplishments were sustaining the center’s momentum through a challenging period for the optical industry and developing regional and international partnerships for the center. The center is currently a partner in the North Carolina Photonics Consortium, and has developed relationships with National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Johnson said a nationwide search for a new director will begin immediately. She noted, however, that the search committee will not have to rush unnecessarily to find a new director. ‘We wouldn’t want the search to go beyond a year, but we are willing to take a year because the center is in the right position right now,” Johnson said.

Johnson said the search for a new director is a wonderful opportunity to attract another world-class faculty member to the Fitzpatrick Center. She noted that she has already heard from several interested candidates, even though no advertisements have yet been placed announcing the position.

The Fitzpatrick Center is named for Duke alumni Michael and Patty Fitzpatrick, who helped establish the center with a $25 million gift in 2000.

TOP; Shelden Williams works his way around a UNC defender last year during Duke's loss at the Dean Dome.

ABOVE: Williams and captain Chris Duhon go after a ball caroming out ofbounds.

Senior Chris Duhon and the Blue Devils are attempting to tune out the distractions of the contest and simply focus on basketball.

“We’re doing our game plan just like we do for any other team,” he said. “We scout them and we’re going to exploit what we think are our strengths and their weaknesses, and hopefully we’ll get the better matchups.”

Duhon’s strategy sounds simple enough, but the Blue Devils still have to execute against a North Carolina squad loaded with talent. The Tar Heel attack is orchestrated by point guard Raymond Felton, who has established himself as one of the better floor generals in the nation.

After one walk around the ACC block, Felton has displayed poise and patience this season, averaging 11.7 points and 7.9 assists per contest.

On the wing for the Tar Heels will be standout sophomore McCants, who leads the ACC in scoring with 18.9 points per game despite being plagued by inconsistency. McCants hit the biggest shot of UNC’s season thus far, burying a game-winning three-pointer in the closing seconds of UNC’s 86-83 vicover then-No. 1 tory Connecticut, but he’s also struggled at times. In an earlier contest at Kentucky, McCants tallied only four points, and was repeatedly benched by Williams.

Duke guard Daniel Ewing will most likely draw the task of defending the prolific McCants, marking the third consecutive game Ewing has guarded one of the league’s leading scorers. In the past two contests, Ewing has had his hands full with Florida State’s Tim Pickett and Georgia Tech’s BJ. Elder, but McCants has the potential to be his most difficult assignment to date.

“You really can’t rely on making shots every night,” Ewing said. “What you can rely on is playing good defense.... We know we’re not going to shoot the ball well every night. As a result of that we’ve been able to do that [defense] and it has helped us win some games where we didn’t play as well on the offensive end.”

The Blue Devils’ leading scorer, JJ. Redick, will be the focal point of an active UNC defense that averages 11 steals per game. Although the Tar SEE UNC ON PAGE

THE CHRONICLE

The scene at Florida State's Chic Center was dismal before yesterday’s game got underway. After a heartbreaking 66430 loss to North Carolina dropped the unranked Seminoles to 3-6 in the ACC and their top rebounder Genesis Choice benched with a broken ankle, the Noles (11-10, 4-6 in the ACC) were looking for a pick-me-up—but were staring straight into the jersey's of No. 2 Duke.

Still, in an eerily quiet Civic Center, the Seminoles gave their fans a reason to cheer. FSU came out strong and overpowered the Blue Devils on both ends of the court for a full 40 minutes, earning FSU an 80-74 victory.

“It was pathetic. We played the worst basketball game I think I've ever seen,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said.

“We were slowing everything we did and every pass we made and every pass seemed like it was a struggle like it was about a half second slow or late. And I don't have any excuse-I don't think the players have any excuse-for why that happened. We just didn't have what it took on this day, unfortunately.... This is a wake up call.

We can't walk into the game thinking we can beat anybody. You learn from losses so that's what we have to do.”

The Seminoles came out immediately with strong penetrations past Duke's defense. Shante Williams, a freshman guard for Florida State, had 13 points by the end of the first half, all achieved in shots within the perimeter.

In addition to strong guard penetration, FSU was able to find open lay-ups for their post players. Center Trinetta Moore, who replaced Choice in her starting position, tallied 15 points from the post on lay-ups over Mistie Bass and Monique Currie.

“They were playing really good team basketball,” Blue Devils’ head coach Gail Goestenkors commented on FSU’s increase intensity since their performance against the Tar Hells. “Their post player

in particular was 10 for 12 from the floor so they were utilizing their post a little bit more then they had beenaein the past they were more of a perimeter team. I thought Moore and Bradley worked really well together. And so having those two inside caused a lot of problems for Carolina and they certainly did for us as well.”

On the opposite end, the Blue Devils appeared to be stuck on one play that was not working. Duke relied primarily on lobbing the ball over the Seminoles' interior defense to their post players, Brittany Hunter and Bass. But several attempts in the first half were overthrown or fumbled out of bounds, contributing to the Blue Devils’ 16 total turnovers.

“We're better when we play together,

when we have our inside-out attack or when we're all on the same page defensively,” Beard said. “It wasn't there tonight and it was a lack of focus.”

The Bass-Beard duo—between big ups from the post from the center and strong penetration from Beard—earned a total of 45 of the team's total points. Florida State played a much more balanced game.

The Seminoles finished with five players in double figures.

“We haven't been playing our best basketball lately and we haven't had great practices so I hoped it wasn't coming,” Goestenkors Concluded. “In retrospect we played the way we've been practicing and that's not at the highest level and the level it needs to be to be successful in the ACC.”

Ten states and eight different positions add up to a 24-man football recruiting class that head coach Ted Roof is ‘Very, very excited about.”

Yesterday marked the first time Roof could comment on this year’s crop of players, as the high school seniors signed with Duke Tuesday afternoon.

‘There is a lot of variety and a lot of diversity in this class,” Roof said.

All-American Chancellor Young, a wide receiver from Woodinville, Wash., who is regarded as the best recruit in the class, committed and signed with the Blue Devils yesterday morning. Young, who runs a 4.3 40-yard dash, also had offers from Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon and UCLA. Young’s father, Charles Young, played three seasons at USC, and was a first-round draft choice by Philadelphia in 1973. “[Young has a] great pedigree and a solid family... His dad was very observant,” Roof said. “It speaks volumes about our program [and gives the] stamp of approval for a lot of NFL players’ kids.”

The class includes six offensive linemen, led by Izzy Bauta, younger brother ofDuke offensive guard Lavdrim Bauta, and Fred Roland, a first team all-stater from Georgia.

“I think we addressed some specific needs we had,” Roof said. “We had .a tremendous need for offensive linemen; it was a good year as far as that goes.”

One of the fastest recruits is Ronnie Drummer, who placed second in the 200meter dash at the 2003 California State Track and Field Championships. Drummer recorded a 4.2 40-yard dash last summer.

Roof credited both the coaching staff and the current players with the success of this year’s recruiting process. Coaching changes, both mid- and post-season, were pivotal in securing a good recruiting class.

The current players also helped to secure some important commitments with positive attitudes about the program during recruitment visits.

Rolling Stone’s internal battle: Can the magazine that helped elect Jimmy Carter make its mark on politics once again?

politicking was Rolling Stone. Not originally flavored by the latest case of celebrity indulgence, the grassroots publication that emerged from San Francisco's Counterculture talked about Vietnam and Nixon. Stars like Cameron Crowe, Annie Leibovitz and Hunter S. Thompson strutted over pages of essays on Kent State or rock star ODs or Fear and Loathing Anywhere.Today, the inclusion of at least one non-celeb article per issue is a requisite, but somehow, it tends to get lost in a mix of bikinied Pink, Army advertisements and investigations into Avril Lavigne's authenticity. As a magazine that helped elect Jimmy Carter, its political force has surely diminished.

Yet the current issue features Howard Dean —the first politician oncover since Al Gore—marking the disruption of a trend that's been towards

more celebrity skin rather than substantive coverage. It turns out, the National Affairs section— RS's politics—has been publishing all along. In fact, each issue for the last six months has contained a National Affairs article articles which are almost always critical of the administration's policies and which range from "The House of Bush: A Secret History" to "Wyoming: Bush's Eco-Vandals Go to Work," Indeed, while the political heavies left on the magazine's masthead, PJ. O'Rourke and Thompson, have been MIA for several years, a new political awareness is streaming into RS. "My impression is that throughout its history, coverage goes in cycles," said David Weir, former associate editor and co-author of RS's classic three-part series on Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army. "Drug abuse... abuse by DBA officials [and], since John Lennon's death, gun issues are a common focus for the magazine."

Not since 1992 has the magazine's commentary been as political charged as it is today. Then-national commentator William Greider presided over the —

But by 1996, political stories were listed under features, not national affairs, and by 2000, political writing returned to the National Affairs umbrella, though it appeared less frequently. Describing the section as "a living, breathing part of the magazine," Dana argued that political coverage never left the magazine; it's just been through a period of restructuring—and back how stronger than ever.

M" :

The Grammys are often criticized for offering an inaccurate picture of the "best" music of a given year, but every so Ai often, decisions made by the Recording Academy defy all explanation. Past years have given us such memorably Metallica for Best \ bizarre moments as Jethro Tull's win over Metal Performance and last Best Dance year's Heavy nomination for No Doubt.

Here's a sample of Recording year's more puzzling nominees:

Dead-locked Categories: This year's preponderance of deceased nominees has created interesting situations in at least two categories. Five-time nominee, Warren Zevon, is up against the thrice-nominated George Harrison in the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance category. Also, former singer/breather Rosemary Clooney is up against the not-dead Bette Midler's tribute to, well, Rosemary Clooney for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Apparently nothing's better for musical careers than taking dirt naps; are you listening, Kelly Osbourne?

The New Old Artist: The Grammys often reward long-struggling acts with a Best New Artist nomination —once they've broken into the pop mainstream,that is.This year's old new artist contender is Fountains of Wayne, who formed in 1996 and released their third album last year. Next year, our money is on a certain fresh breath of Latino flair, an up-and-coming outfit know among the indie crowd simply as... Menudo.

Last Year's Hit, This Year's Grammy Nominee: With an Oct. 1, 2002 to Sept. 30, 2003 eligibility period, many songs and albums we've all long grown tired of are dusted off and played again.This year we get one last chance to decipher the backwards chorus to Missy Elliott's "Work lt."We'd rather have another helping of Janet Jackson's "accidental" floppage, but for now it looks like we'll have to keep hitting the rewind button.

The most excruciating wrestling move ever

Dean Chapman

Beyonce—Headbutt

After wildly unsuccessful CD releases by Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band, hillbilly wrestler Stone Cold elfin cookie Steve Austin and apparent heiress/WWE diva Stacy Keibler couldn't help but get in on the act. World Wrestling Entertainment, the guilty pleasure our generation knew as the WWF, has released an album that has—remarkably—exceeded the badness of the wrestling itself.

This album is, in a word, awful.

Strong Bad look-alike Rey Mysterio's autobiographical Spanglish contribution ("Crossing Borders") simultaneously motivates and nauseates.

If this track alone does not catapult WWE Originals into an international bestseller, well, Recess will not be the least bit surprised. Gluteally gifted wrestler Rikishi's heartfelt ballad ("Put A Little Ass On It") touches in places that are best left off limits. It also furthers the suspicion that he may be the lovechild of "American Idol" champ Ruben Studdard and "South Park"casanova/mentor Chef.

In the album's tour de force ("We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal"), Eddie and Chavo (Chare's nephew?) Guerrero, accompanied by a mariachi that would have trouble getting a gig in an abandoned bodega, belt out an anthem best suited for POW interrogation.

If you shop now at wwe.com, you may also receive a bonus DVD with all the oiled-up, behind-the-scenes footage you'd care to watch along with a T-Shirt (XL only) to broadcast your impeccable taste in tunes.

Don't miss your chance to own the worst LP since Joey Lawrence's self-titled debut.

Sirens has yet to establish a definitive crowd, but Locke knows precisely the demographic she'd like to see. Young professionals, law and medical students, professors and Duke undergraduates are all in her target audience/'l made this place for the Duke students," she said.

Because the space is zoned as a private club, Sirens is required by law to be a members-only establishment (Ringside, in downtown Durham, operates the same way). Annual memberships, however, are being offered for as low as $5 to students ($2O to the general public)—scarcely more than the weekend cover charge at other Durham nightclubs. Members are allowed unlimited guests for no charge.

Only time will tell if Locke's heavy investment pays off. In addition to the precarious parking situation (parking is across the street at the Dollar General), the overall class of the place makes it a risk in a town where quasi-biker bars actually account for a good fraction of the nightlife. For now, though, we can at least callThe Sirens Lounge a welcome addition to the Durham scene.

The Sirens will be offering drink specials (draft beer and house cocktails) for students with a Duke ID this weekend.

A double dose of avant garde theater at Duke

A Perfect Ganesh..By Gillian Barnard "Queer." "Faggot," "Cocksucker." "Die

from my cum "Makes you uncomfortable, doesn't it?

Your discomfort might be for the person these comments are directed at.

Maybe you are embarrassed and ashamed for the person who is uttering them. Probably you are feeling awkward as a member of an "innocent" audience that has happened to read what can only be categorized as offensive statements. If you would much rather avoid such disconcerting moments, then the Wendell Theater Group's production of A Perfect Ganesh is not for you.

A Perfect Ganesh is the story of two well-off, middle-aged women (played by Caroline Patterson and Carrie Alexander) who take a trip to India. They embark on their journey to seek adventure and to take a vacation from their problems. As the audience is soon to find out, these problems are far more complex and disturbing than we ever could imagine.

Student director Amit Mahtaney (T â&#x20AC;&#x2122;O5) explained, "Instead of ignoring stereotyping or trying to be PC, we want to push the boundaries. By doing so, we get more out of the experience of our characters."

One is tempted to tag A Perfect Ganesh

TheBlacks: A Clown Show...By Meghan Valerio

as a comedy. The play is packed with laugh-out-loud humor and irreverent stereotypes that mock anyone and everyone. Don't be deceived.The production is a darkly serious performance, and these jokes are used in order to lighten the mood of what would otherwise be a sickeningly accurate portrayal of the unbearable pain that is all around us every day.

Issues such as cancer, prejudice, racism and abject poverty are not glossed over.

There have been challenges in the production. Mahtaney explains that he has talked to some Hindu students who have a problem that Ganesha (played by Greg Anderson) is portrayed as a gay man. He rationalizes this by citing the basic premise of Hindu;"God is in everyone."

This is a powerful premise and it results in a production that is rich with spirituality, sensitivity, love and pain. Each member of the tiny four-person cast delivers powerful performances.They have stayed true to Terrence McNally's original script and the result is an expertly-delivered,

thought-provoking experience.

A Perfect Ganesh can be seen in Shaefer Theater in the Bryan Center at8 p.m. tonight and tomorrow, and at 3 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Saturday.

The Blacks: A Clown Show, running this weekend at The Ark on East Campus, pushes the questions and boundaries of race and theater in ways Duke's campus has never seen before.

Written by Jean Genet as a play-withina-trial-within-a-play, an all-black cast (well, in this case, almost all-black) reenacts the rape and murder of a white woman for a mock court of other black actors, masked, costumed and dialectically performing as white aristocrats.

Heavy stuff? Sure, but what would be upsetting in any show becomes, in The Blacks, an all-out assault. In performances around the world, audience members walking out is par for the course. Directors Mary Adkins and Amy Eason stage the show environmentally, with actors wandering through the audience before the performance and striding through during it. Using language, staging and a variety of theatrical tricks, the actors assert control not only over the stage, but the entire theater and its occupants as well.

Adkins and Eason saw a production of The Blacks while studying on the Duke in New York program and decided to produce it at Duke while sitting

A global pespective on Migration

Salgado's photos are a striking example of the artistry involved in black and white photography.

Here at Duke we grumble and complain about having to make the trek back and forth between East and West campuses on a daily basis. Most of us avoid going to so-called "far away" buildings on Science Drive; we don't even know where the Center for Documentary Studies is located because it isn't visible from a bus stop.

But if you take the time to visit the Center for Documentary Studies sometime before March 28, the current exhibit by Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado may just help to put the journey across Duke's campus in perspective.

Salgado has traveled to 39 different countries in order to compile his set of images of human suffering, Migrations. His goal documenting and exhibiting his experiences is to share the information he was able to gather with others who do not have the opportunity to visit other countries.

His black and white images depict the hardships faced by migrants forced to leave their homes and take dangerous trips in search of a better or safer life. Countries all over the globe, from

on Adkins'bed, discussing the show.

"As Duke grads, the financial conditions of our prospective futures are, literally, about 20 times that of someone who works at Wal-Mart." Adkins said.

"But the problem is that we've inherited this sense of power, so that we have no idea what life is like in its absence, what life is like for many, many people in America today. Until [you] attend The Blacks. Then, you know. At least for two hours."

The implications of The Blacks are intense and provokingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that black and white racial identities are as much performances as any scripted role; that faces, whatever their appearance, are masks; and that the racial climate that made The Blacks so affecting in 1961, when James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson and Maya Angelou first performed it in the United States, has changed so little that the play's power has only

Mexico to Afghanistan, are represented among the images on display at the CDS. Salgado's pieces include emotionally-charged portraits that help spectators identify with the victims and exquisitely-detailed backgrounds that add to the understanding of world situations. For this reason, many critics have condemned Salgado for trying to soften and beautify atrocity.

On the other hand, the aesthetic element of Migrations allows the viewers ofSalgado's work to examine the hardships faced by fellow humans without being overwhelmed by the shock value of witnessing atrocity. Because the artistry gives viewers the ability to emotionally and intellectually grasp what they are seeing, Salgado is more effective in building connections between his viewers, privileged Americans, and the victims he uses as subjects in his photographs.

His effort is well worth a visit.

Migrations: Humanity in Transition will be showing through March 28th.

Kerry's a Beatles fan, but Edwards prefers Springsteen. The good reverend digs on Yolanda Adams, but until recently he's consulted Andre 3000 for hairstyling tips. Speaking of OutKast,"Hey Ya!" you've got no chance. Kucinich gets "high" on Willie.

Coincidence? Not entirely.

Particularly when it comes to picking what songs to play before each campaign stop, the more effective the music, the more it reveals about the candidate's message. Overall, the soundtrack to the candioffers dates' campaigns insight about the men who could be president.

Two weeks ago, the Associated Press asked the candidates the innocuous question of what album they would most like to have in their CD player. John

Kerry picked the Beatles' Abbey Road, widely considered one of the best albums of all time, which matches up nicely with his broad appeal and current role as the likely recipient of the Democratic nomination, Similarly, John Edwards picked The Essential Bruce Springsteen another safe bet. Not to be outdone, Howard Dean offered the relatively unusual pick of any music by Wyclef Jean. Dean's selection is still far more hip than any of his fellow "outsider" candidates' choices, a position Dean himself occupies. In fact, with their selections of music by Willie Nelson and Yolanda Adams, Kucinich and Sharpton have unintentionally chosen music whose obscurity parallels their slim chances of receiving the party's nomination. Joe Lieberman chose Andrea Bocelli—look where that got him.

However,the sjmple corollary between the popularity of the candidates' music and the candidates themselves breaks down when you consider the music each candidate chooses to play before campaign appearances. Here the music is selected to convey a certain message, and that role makes the actual songs selected that much more important. Once ,

again, in terms of effectiveness, Kerry seems to be leading the pack, hijacking the music offellow presidential hopeful John Edwards'favorite artist and horning in on Bush's post-9/11 claim to fame with Springsteen's "The Rising" and "No Surrender."

This concern for effectiveness in a landscape of often deceitful pop songs also means that the potential for an embarrassing mistake along the lines of playing "Every Breath You Take" at a wedding is always present. In 1984,Ronald Reagan erroneously chose to play Springsteen's anti-American "Born in the USA."This year's victim of lyrical deceit could possibly be Howard Dean, who is apparently toting out the beautiful-misery anthems of "Bittersweet Symphony" and "Beautiful Day." Even one of his "Scream remixes" would have worked better than his apparent pledge of happiness amidst destruction.

Nonetheless, as interesting and amusing as it may be to follow the candidates' song selections, their musical taste alone is certainly not indicative of their ability to win the White House. After all, Wesley Clark's frequent references to OutKast haven't given his candidacy the same sort of spike that they may have given the group's sales.Yet such musical soundbites have garnered him more media attention than his platform has. Perhaps this is the problem; it seems that when it comes to campaign songs, the goal should be to complement one's message—not define it.

Can a producer make the crossover to become a respectable MC? The eternal question presents itself again on Kanye West's debutalbum College Dropout.

West has designed beats for Jay-Z on his Grammy-nominated The Blueprint and his career coup de gras The Black Album, as well as Talib Kweli's instant classic Quality. For his own rookie effort, Kanye calls in a few favors and ends up with more guests than an episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Mos Def, backed by the Harlem Boys Choir, eloquently aids on "Two Words" with a little help from Philly sensation Freeway. Ludacris also contributes by giving "Breathe In Breathe Out" a bit of southern flava and making it one of the album's most upbeat selections. Other notable collaborators include Twista, Common and Hova himself.

The albums first track/'We Don't Care," could be characterized as a twisted version of Mas'recent uplifting hit "I Can," complete with children belting out the chorus.West criticizes schools and speaks of the insidious effect of narcotics in his neighborhood, but remains optimistic. In a poignant refrain, we hear, "We wasn't supposed to make it past 25/ The joke's

on you, we still alive." Later on the same track, he bemoans funding cuts from "the programs for after-school" resulting in dyslexic kids whose favorite 50 Cent song is"l 2 Questions."

His complicated and constructive lyrics continue on the a capella- backed spiritual "Jesus Walks" and on the album's most personal contribution and phenomenal first single, "Through the Wire," where West recounts his brush with death in an Oct. 2002 car crash. His accelerated sample from Chaka Kahn's "Through the Fire" only adds to the sentimentality of this cut he recorded with his jaw wired shut.

Radio darling "Slow Jamz" and bass-laced "Get Em High" are the album's lighter notes. The former is a more-thanappropriate seduction soundtrack, and the latter is best for showing off the pair of 12-inch subs in your trunk. West doesn't totally deliver on MTV's suggestion that College Dropout is the most anticipated hip-hop debut since 50 Cent, but this is still one of the best showings in some time. West can spend as much time as he wants in front of the mic as long as he doesn't quit his day job. GRADE

REVIEW: GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

A Pedrl with potential

By Sarah Brodeur

Attention future Sofia Coppolas Ms. Films is coming to town

By Corinne Low Ladies, our day Is here. Lost in Translation, a film written, directed and produced by a woman, stands nominated for four Academy Awards, including best picture and director. In a world of growing professional equality, filmmaking has remained one of the last bastions of male dominance. Sofia Coppola joins only two other women ever to have been nominated for an Oscar in the directing category.

But Coppola had a name and a trust fund to get her in the door. Is there any recourse for less fortunate aspiring female filmmakers?

Ms. Films, an organization founded by women in the Triangle arts community, hopes to level the playing field. "The cost and time commitment of getting an education in film creates a barrier,"says Niku Arabi, the foundation's coordinator. Women curious about the movie industry see no way to get involved at an "intermediate level." At the end of this month, Ms. Films will host its annual festival here in Durham, offering what Arabi hopes will be that first step for would-be Coppolas.

The festival will feature three days of movie screenings and filmmaking workshops, fulfilling Ms, Films' two main goals: to showcase existing femmes of film and train new ones. The idea is to not only raise awareness and excitement about female filmmakers, but to provide the resources to help participants funnel their newfound energy into workable projects.

"Many women are intimidated by the technical aspects of filmmaking," Arabi explains."With the right information, it's actually relatively easy for anyone to make their own movie/'Workshops will instruct attendees in all elements of film production—including screenwriting, camera techniques and sound editing—but equally important is the opportunity the festival provides for networking among the filmmaking community. Film, even at local levels, is often as much about who you know as how much talent you have; A vision is nothing without access to cameras, editing equipment and places to send the finished product. Although most newcomers would have no

Idea where to begin, the Triangle offers a surprising number of resources for fledgling filmmakers. By making these local avenues less formidable, Ms. Films hopes to give women of all ages the skills and knowledge necessary to go home and immediately get started putting their stories on film.

"Thefestival is notan end in itself,"insists Arabi.The goal, rather, is to create an environment where existing female role-models can nurture up-and-comers.

"We wanted the festival to be useful to women at all levels as more than just a three day event," Arabi adds.

Those already established in the industry can both learn from one another and share their expertise by presenting workshops or submitting films. As an extension of this knowledge exchange, the festival's organizers have compiled a booklet of information on area filmmaking. "The down-and-dirty, do-it-yourself MOVIEMAKING GUIDE for film girls and video vixens," (available at the festival or from the Regulator on Ninth Street) offers everything from technical howto's to public resources for ladies looking to break into the biz.

As for the ladies behind Ms. Films, they've been able to transfer their own vision into reality through the support of the Triangle community.The festival is possible thanks to a facility grant from the Durham Arts Council, as well as aid from various Duke departments, including the John Hope Franklin Center.

Perhaps the most exciting stage of their fundraising, though, will come this Saturday, when the Ms. Films Benefit Show rocks into Duke's own East Campus Coffee House.The show, which starts at 9 p.m., will feature a wide array of musical talents including Cantwell Gomez & Jordan, Gerty, Fluff Chick and Natasha.

Maybe this is the year for a female director to finalclaim the Oscar, maybe it isn't. But thanks to Ms. ly there will be plenty of video vixens from the Films, next generation ready to make another go at it.

The Ms. Films festival will run Feb. 27 to 29 at the Durham Arts Council. Visit its website at for details. www.msfilms.org

Based on the novel by Tracy Chevalier, Girl With a Pearl Earring imagines the story behind Johannes Vermeer's portrait of the same name. The subject of the portrait is a young servant girl named Griet, (Scarlett Johansson), who must clean Vermeer's (Colin Firth) studio without adjusting a single object, so as not to disturb the artist's vision. What Griet doesn't anticipate is the mutual dependency that develops between artist and subject, master and apprentice, when she herself becomes part of the artist's vision.

Girl With a Pearl Earring is a work of art in and of itself. The cinematography composed

by Eduardo Serra is the very definitionof what it means to paint with light. It is no wonder Serra is nominated for an Oscar for his work on this film, as every frame captures the light, texture and composition that characterize Vermeer's paintings.

With its meditative pace and haunting music, Girl With a Pearl Earring seems to be more of an assemblage of exchanged glances and tentative touches than a film. Instead of dialogue, it is Johansson's wide eyes and full lips that express the depth of Griefs passion, and they say everything. Firth, meanwhile, does what he does best by standing aside and brooding intently.

Chevalier's novel concerns itself primarily with the interior consciousness of the characters, which isn't easily translated to the screen.

Luckily, Tom Wilkinson, as Van Ruijven, Vermeer's chief patron, and Gillian Murphy as Pieter, Griet's beau, shake things up as they weave their way in and out of the film.

The tagline for Girl With a Pearl Earring is, "Beauty inspires obsession." Unless you're a fan of the book, Johansson or Firth—or prefer movies more beautiful in execution than bountiful in action—Girl With a Pearl Earring may bore you. For art-house movie fans, it's a don't-miss. grade

REVIEW

Air Talkie Walkie

continued from page 1

By Andrew Galanopoulos Air's Talkie Walkie is an album that comes with much expectation and uncertainty. Their masterful .2000 debut, Moon Safari, vaulted the French duo out of the often-stigmatized and even more often mediocre conglomerate of late '9os electronica groups, earning them critical and popular successes and placing them on a plateau to which only a few artists in their genre had ascended (Aphex Twin, Stereolab).Then came their sophomore 2001 effort 10,000 Hz Legend, an album that saw Air's pop genius deny itself for the sake of artsy weirdness. Those longing for the magic of Moon Safari were disappointed with this album, and so a certain amount of nervousness

slow down, as if suspended with the

lightness of the music It is background music that changes everything in the foreground, a trait evident in Air's score work in the films The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation.

From the latter movie comes the high point of the album, "Alone in Kyoto."

Guitar and piano riffs dance softly over a clock-like beat, capturing the silent loneliness of lying in bed, listening to rain hit the roof. A few tracks venture closer toward the disjointed postmodernism of Legend, but even these find their way back to the enveloping mood music of Moon Safari. The track "Run" embodies this duality; its vers-

great map.There's a map included that nobody had that shows exactly where Bush plans to cut the forest." Another groundbreaking article was Bobby Kennedy's searing 11 -page account, "Bush's Crimes Against the Environment."

The magazine is focusing on the current Presidential election process to a greater extent than it has in many years. Reasons why this particular election is receiving special attention vary. "I think it's different because you've got a president in office who didn't win the majority of the vote," said Bates."There's [also] a sense that Bush has mobilized the country in a violent way." Nine current and former democratic presidential candidates also help increase coverage; incidentally, RS has interviewed all of the current candidates, including, yes, Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton. John Kerry was criticized in one such interview for his use of the f-word.The ramifications of a post-9/11 world and a publisher/editor, Jann Wenner, with die-hard political views also strongly influence the magazine.

In a time when Maxim and its pop music offshoot Blender are some of the hottest magazine properties with their increasing circulations and centerfolds, RS has expanded the breadth of its issue stories. For Bates, this is how RS differentiates itself from the publishing pack.'Tor the other music magazines out there, I think politics is anathema to them, and they don't want it on their pages," he said.

At the same time, the blurb-filled front of the magazine, the growing number of cover almost-nudes and the hiring of Ed Needham, formerly of FHM,a s managing editor hints at some of Maxim's influence. Nevertheless, an oddly-juxtaposed commitment to long-form journalism remains.

"I feel some of the stuff that we run, only 30% of the magazine's audience will read, but we're fine with that," Dana conceded. We'd just like to get it out there."

RS's Iraq-embedded reporter, Evan

Wright, wrote perhaps the most adventurous feature of last year, a three-part, 30,000 word series on the Marines' "Killer Elite."

Contemplating the magazine's contrast between pop and politic, he says,"When my Iraq stories ran, you had teenybopper girls, buying the magazine for Justin and Christina Aguilera on the cover and then, they'll open it up to my story and see a picture of a burnt corpse."

Imagine their reaction

Making fun of Republicans is a favorite pastime of Rolling Stone, this year, the magazine is back with a vengeance.

THE CHRONICLE

UNC BASKETBALL CURRY ARRESTED

UNC from page 5

-K

UNCrecruit Major snagged in drug bust by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

A top North Carolina basketball

signee is in big trouble.

JamesOn Curry—a 6-foot-2 shooting guard from Mebane, N.C.—was among 49 students targeted in an early morning drug bust yesterday.

“He was arrested about 8:30 this morning at Eastern Alamance High School,” Public Information Officer Randy Jones of the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office said. “He’s facing six felony counts total: Two counts with possession and intent to sell and deliver marijuana; two counts of sale and delivery of marijuana; and two counts of sale and delivery of controlled substances on school grounds.”

The investigation began last August when the Alamance County school superintendent suspected drug use at some local high schools, according to Jones. The Public Information Officer also stated undercover investigators had been in place at all the high schools in the county since the beginning of the school year.

Curry is considered one of the top 100 prospects in the class of 2004 and is rated the 16th-best shooting guard in the nation by theinsiders.com. Averaging 33 points per game, Curry broke a 44 year-

old North Carolina prep career scoring mark this past December. Additionally, the guard set another state record earlier this season by hitting his 282nd career

three-pointer.

Last November, Curry signed a national letter of intent to play for the Tar Heels. However, the arrest leaves Curry’s basketball future unclear.

“It is disturbing,” UNC head coach Roy Williams said at a press conference Wednesday. “Very surprising. But you know, I’m just learning all about it just like you guys are. It happened today, [so] I don’t have enough information at this time.

“He does not play for me. He is not under my watch. I do have certain thoughts and feelings that...are personal and will stay that way until I share them with his family. If there needs to be a decision made at some time, I will make that decision. When I do, he and his family will know about it first, whatever that decision may be.”

Eastern Alamance athletic director John Moon and North Carolina Associate Athletic Director for Athletic Communications Steve Kirschner could not be reached for comment.

Curry has reportedly been released on 40,000 dollar secured bond and will appear in district court in the near future.

The Sports Department wishes the best of luck to Mr. Curry

Heels are known to slip into a 2-3 zone, there will undoubtedly be someone keeping an eye on Redick. The constant pressure on the Blue Devil guard could potentially leave Duhon and Ewing with open looks, and Williams isn’t looking forward to playing a team with so many weapons and strengths.

“They are a well-balanced team,” Williams said. “I think that’s why they have won so many games in a row. There’s not one specific thing that you can be concerned about because of how well-rounded they are, and they really don’t have any holes that you can aim at.”

Duke’s weapon inside, Shelden Williams, will find space in the Carolinablue paint heavily contested by Tar Heel center Sean May. May’s brute force and soft touch around the basket make him a difficult cover for any big man in the country, but Williams has proven himself an effective shot-blocker and inside scorer in his own right. Both sophomores have displayed shades of brilliance this season, and their familiarity with each other—they roomed together this summer at Michael Jordan’s flight school—should only add to the intensity of their battle.

“I am really excited,” May said. ‘We talked about [the matchup] a lot this summer. Shelden is a great player having a tremendous year and doing really every-

Roy-Will and the Tar Heels desperately need a win over No. 1 Duke today in the Dean Dome.

thing for that team. I am just looking forward to playing against him.”

That sort of anticipation and familiarity serve as the hallmark of college basketball’s premier rivalry, which begins a new era Thursday night with Roy Williams taking his first shot at Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils. Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain—the rivalry is back.

“Duke and Carolina...is the game you wait for all year,” McCants said. “I am definitely psyched.”

Editor’s Note: The Sports Department will continue accepting poems regarding the Duke-UNC rivalry up through March 4th, when the Blue Devils host the Tar Heels in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Thus £ thr mal pieces have been received. Send your submissi

I am writing in response to Professor Michael Monger’s Feb. 4 letter to the editor because I believe it misses the important issues in some students’reactions to the Bush/Cheney advocacy at the Florida State game.

The complaint is not that sports and politics must always be separate. This is a more local issue. The complaint is that the proBush shirts/signs/whatever injected controversy into a situation that is about unity. The fun of the Cameron Crazies is that everybody is together and pulling for Duke. The Duke identity is supreme and people temporarily suppress other disputes. George W. Bush is one of those disputes that people have voluntarily deemphasized in the past. To the people cheering, the partisan signs changed the meaning of their actions. They suddenly had to think about whether their enthusiasm would be perceived by the national audience as support for Duke, as it always has in the past, or support for Bush.

Their emotions were hijacked. The Bush/Cheney people defected from a tacit agreement that games at Cameron are about Duke.

My argument hinges on whether this has been done before. Since I don’t believe it has, the Bush advertisers defected from a community norm. If somebody had held up

“Go Duke: Pro-Choice” or “Go Duke: Inde-

pendents are Cooler than Greeks,” or any other divisive issue, the principle would be the same. I believe that Professor Monger’s comparison to Kerry at a Bruins game is irrelevant and a deflection. Kerry’s actions at a Bruins game do not create any hypocrisy in Duke students’ reaction to other Duke students at a Duke student activity.

One could argue that this letter is political correctness in action or a First Amendment problem. It’s not at all. There was a tacit agreement to emphasize unity and deemphasize controversy. Some Dukies defected from this norm. Of course they have the right to do so, but they did violate a norm. Other Dukies are completely within their rights to use scorn and social pressureto try to maintain and repair the norm.

If the administration did something to control signs and shirts at Cameron, that would be different, and would raise freedom of speech issues. As it stands, some students decided that a campaign stunt is more important than the unity of the Cameron Crazies. They were dividers, not uniters.

don’t know, should a student let themknow?

Would Professor Michael Munger appreciate me letting him know about his tone? I don’t doubt the fact that he and other prefossors have some very insightful things to say within their areas of expertise. I do doubt that such information is of any use when it is combined with an inability to communicate effectively with students.

alogue surrounding political campaigning

Wednesday’s Chronicle, however, directed my attention to a subject that draws out some of my stronger opinions: the tendancy

for some professors to think a condescneding tone is appropriate with their students.

Granted, a certain number of people in almost any population will tend to be condescending (just as any other personality trait would be distributed). So a ‘perfect’ faculty in this sense may be impossible, but it does raise a number of questions in my mind.

in the U.S. and several other churches endorse the teaching of evolution and the elimination of creationist subjects from public schools. Despite these stances, many churches, pastors and congregation members still feel threatened by the notion of evolution. The divide between people supporting and opposing evolution often extends beyond this debate into other beliefs and ideals concerning society, such as tax structure, marriage and plans to nuke the whales.

In a secular state, like the United States, evolution must remain in schools and creationism must stay out.

Time still remains to alter Georgia’s decision to eliminate evolution from its curriculum. A petition to do so is already in circulation. Former President Jimmy Carter denounced the decision as embarrassing and said, “There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend our religious faith.”

If these Georgians opposing their state school board fail, the simple solution remains to encourage change from the outside. Duke, along with its peer institutions should refuse to accept students not educated in the basic premises of evolution. That way, we can open up even more spots on campus for people from places like Long Island, the furthest evolved of all humans, followed in a close second by people from Texas and New Jersey.

“We walked out of that store feeling powerful,” he told

one interviewer matter-of-factly. “I lost a lot of negative feelings about this country of ours.... I had my going to the mountaintop experience!”

Unfortunately, the young men were not welcomed

with open arms back on campus. Many of their fellow students refused to believe they had conducted a successful sit-in and the Greensboro Four spent nearly two hours convincing the skeptics. Even though many students pledged to participate in another sit-in at Woolworth’s the next day, only a few actually showed up for Tuesday’s sit-in.

However, support for the sit-ins grew exponentially in the coming days and by Feb. 5, 1960, over three hundred students were involved in protests in Greensboro. Students from surrounding colleges, including a few white students, Joined in the sit-ins. The student protests even drew the attention of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., prompting him to give his “Fill the jails!” speech in Durham on Feb. 16. On July 26, 1960, Blacks were at last served at Woolworth’s counters.

As students, we often wonder what change we are able to make. Tests pile up. Internship deadlines approach. We are caught between enjoying our youth, devoting ourselves to causes we believe in, and fulfilling our duties as college students.

When we feel overwhelmed, we should remember that students just like us have changed history forever.

These students had the audacity to go from the engineering exam to the frontlines of social struggles.

Sometimes no one believed in these students but themselves.

So stage sit-ins demanding the rights of workers in Mexico, in China, at Duke. Get on national television at the Duke game. Protest the war. I know we have a slim chance of sparking any great social movements. But then again, the Greensboro Four could not have known their one courageous action would inspire us to try.
