THE CHOMICLE

In response to continuing concerns about lazy, destructive, drunken students, Executive Archdean of Residential Life Freddy Hall has abolished students from the University.

The move follows Hall’s discontinuation of annual review and the removal of several fraternities from campus over the last few years. Hall said he realized that fraternities and annual review were not really the problem—it was the students he had to stop.

“I had a meeting with some student leaders the other day,” Hall said. “Smitarelli was stinking drunk, Volvic was riding a unicycle and Deuce Bugaloo took a baseball bat to my ‘quad model’ ant farm. There’s no way I can deal with these people anymore!”

Students had mixed reactions about being banned from campus. While some were unhappy that they would no longer be able to attend the University, others saw it as a positive move.

“I think it’s brilliant,” said Duke Student Government President Matt Volvic. “But then again I don’t really care because I’m graduating, anyway.”

It was unclear what would happen to the quad model in the absence of anyone to live in the quads. Hall suggested filling the residence halls with 1,600 cats, who could participate in activities like wiffleball, cooking competitions and an art appreciation fair. Hall even said he would personally act as a “master of ceremonies,” sporting a top hat and cane and leading the cats in their various quad activities.

Brodhead's true identity revealed by

Yemil Lamas

THE CHOMICLE

Scandal rocked the campuses of two of the nation’s most respected universities Thursday when it was revealed that Richard Brodhead, President-elect ofDuke University and outgoing Dean of Yale College, was in fact the Kool-Aid Man. “I’ve known Dick since 1776, and although I’d always known him for his sweet disposition and willingness to sit down for an afternoon cup of juice, I’d have never thought that it had come so far.” said Professor Tim Donaldson ofYale.

Friends and acquaintances were rightly surprised; hidden sources at Kraft foods revealed that Brodhead had been leading an elaborate double life since 1965, when he was tapped to succeed the then-recently deceased Adlai Stevenson in the role of the giant pitcher. By day, Brodhead pursued the life of scholar and top administrator at Yale University. By night, Brodhead battled the thirsties and brought joy to millions of parched, sugar-deprived children.

In the early ’9os, Kool-aid man rose to the height of popularity, starring in both short Marvel comic strips and a short-lived Mattell action-adventure game for the Atari 2600 game system. Brodhead personally starred in each of these projects, rising to a notoriety rivaled only by the Easy-Mac yellow dinosaur and Toucan Sam. “Utterly revolutionary; I’ve never seen such effective cross-market advertising” said Duke Professor of Economics Ned Cower, while sipping on a cool cup of Purplesaurus Rex Kool-Aid.

Reactions to the news at Duke University were mixed. “Kool-aid goes well with Vodka, so I guess Brodhead does too; this has the potential to completely reshape the party-scene at Duke!” exclaimed an excited student. Employees at Quenchers and the Alpine Atrium, on the other hand,

We want to remind everyone about the bonfire policy we established several years ago, which again govern this year’s activities. The victory celebrations following big games in recent years have been what we have all hoped for, and ones in which the Duke community could take pride.

The same rules remain in effect this year and, with your cooperation, we will continue to celebrate our victories safely and enthusiastically. In keeping with this goal, we remind you of some key concerns:

The University has obtained a City bonfire permit for April 5, the date of the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game.

Bonfires on any other days will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution The City Fire Marshall asks that everyone stay at least 10 feet away from the fire

Please keep stacked benches to a reasonable height (not more than three) and do not climb on top. The tragedy at Texas A & M a few years ago provides ample evidence why.

If you carry a beverage, please use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad.

Do not sit or stand on building roofs

Do not use dorm furniture as fuel for a bonfire. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game.

The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. Any fires that are started outside of this area will be considered illegal and dealt with at the discretion of the City Fire Marshall and Duke University Police.

The City Fire Marshall has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is now a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.

Neighborhood leaders question NPI

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

For many of the University’s neighbors, planning for the makeover of Central

Campus has aroused much excitement, but also much frustration as the University tries to decide the type and extent ofretail operations that will be allowed on the redeveloped campus.

In fact, ‘frustrating’ seems to be a catchword for some neighbors in describing recent encounters with the University—so much so that there are talks in a few neighborhoods of pulling out of the much-lauded Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership. The initiative is aimed at improving the quality of life in the 12 DSG President-elect Pasha Majdi addresses senators at the body's meetingWednesday night.

Senators reject fee increase by

THE CHRONICLE

Duke Student Government legislators had money on their minds at their weekly meeting Wednesday night, discussing the $7O student activities fee increase and the recent discovery of $140,000 in DSG funds.

Legislators passed a resolution rejecting the increase to the fee implemented

by Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. Officials said the fee increase was in direct violation of DSG bylaws, which require a DSG vote and student body referendum for any changes to the activities fee.

neighborhoods near campus and boosting student achievement in the neighborhoods’ seven public schools.

“Several neighborhood association boards, including Old West Durham, have started talking about the possibility of pulling out of the partnership because many do not view it as a partnership,” said John Schelp, president of the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association. ‘To be clear, Duke is doing good things, especially in the seven elementary schools, and they deserve credit for those efforts.

Some neighborhoods are seeing some benefit from Duke, but others are frustrated because we feel like we’re just a window dressing.”

Schelp explained that a lack of open communication between the neighborhoods and the University regarding Central Campus retail plans are a reflection, not the cause, of a more long-standing problem with the Neighborhood Partnership—namely, that the University seeks but ultimately discounts neighbors’ input on developments that will affect town and gown alike.

Although such sentiments are not universal or even prevalent amongst the 12 partnership neighborhoods, Schelp is certainly not alone in his assertions. Elizabeth Dondero, president of the Burch Avenue SEE NPI ON PAGE 11

Pratt improves undergrad advising Sophia Peters THE CHRONICLE

It’s that time of year —when students spend hours logged into ACES searching for that class that fits in the perfect time slot or that fills the elusive ethical inquiry requirement.

But for the first time, this semester students in the Pratt School of Engineering are unable to access the wonderful world of ACES and class registration without meeting in person with their advisors. Tod Laursen, senior associate dean of education for Pratt, and Linda

Franzoni, associate dean for student affairs for Pratt, have implemented changes that they claim will make the academic advising system more substantial and useful for engineering students.

Pratt now requires its students to meet with their advisors to obtain their ACES PIN, bringing engineering advising more in line with the practices already in place for Trinity College students.

Moreover, a separate advising website has been established that contains general information about the Pratt curriculum and an online appointment service that officials .

say will expedite the advising sign-up process, again mirroring the Trinity system.

Laursen hopes the new system will move students and advisors away from solely communicating via e-mail. “The main point of this new system is to emphasize student and advisor interaction and make sure that they are meeting face-toface every semester,” he said.

As Pratt faculty and students adjust to the new online appointment system, some users have reported glitches in coSEE PRATT ON PAGE 8

Civilians from N.C. murdered in Iraq by

Jeffrey Gettleman

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Four Americans working for a security company were ambushed and killed Wednesday and an enraged mob then jubilantly dragged their burned bodies through the streets of downtown Fallujah, hanging the corpses from a bridge over the Euphrates River.

Less than 15 miles away, in the same area of the increasingly violent Sunni Triangle, five American soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb ripped through their armored personnel carrier.

The day’s violence was one of the most brutal outbursts of anti-American

rage since the war in Iraq began more than a year ago. The steadily deteriorating situation in the Fallujah area, a center of anti-American hostility west of Baghdad, has become so precarious that no American soldiers or Iraqi forces responded to the attack against the civilians, who worked for a North Carolina firm.

American officials said the civilians were traveling in two sport utility vehicles although some witnesses in Fallujah said there were four.

‘Two got away; two got trapped,” said Muhammad Furhan, a taxi driver.

It is not clear what the four Americans were doing in Fallujah or where

they were going. But just as they were

kebab shops around 10:30 a.m., masked gunmen jumped into the street and blasted their vehicles with assault rifles. Witnesses said the civilians did not shoot back.

There are a number of police stations in Fallujah and a base of more than 4,000 Marines nearby, but even as the security guards were being swarmed and their vehicles set on fire, sending plumes of inky smoke over the closed shops of the city, there were no ambulances, no fire engines and no assistance.

Panelists will talk about the security measures instituted by the University after a robbery in the Bryan Center in November 2003, and whether the University is isolating itself from the community in the name of security. Speakers also will explore the connections between campus security measures and strategies adopted on a national and international level since Sept. 11.

Birkhead, however, said he did not want to release specific details of what investigators have uncovered about the reported rape of a student near Edens Quadrangle and fondling of another student on Central Campus. The two crimes are believed to be unrelated.

Birkhead said his department has consulted with a private investigative expert who is helping the department review both cases.

Men’s role in stopping rape takes center stage Liana Wyler THE CHRONICLE

by

As thunder rumbled in the distance and sheets of rain pelted the Von Canon room windows, a small group endured the storm by attending ‘Jalapenos, chest hair and the power of Greyskull: Duke men and the violence that affects our lives,” the second keynote address for Sexual Assault Prevendon Week.

David Rider, Duke graduate and current director of consulting and training for the Washington, D.C. based non-profit organization Men Can Stop Rape, returned to campus with colleague Kedrick Griffin to talk about the role men can play in encouraging a community without rape or sexual assault.

Rider chose to take a more dialogueoriented rather than lecture-style approach to his presentation, as the intimate size of the audience lent itself to fostering discussion.

“What I want to do tonight is create a space where we can talk,” Rider said.

To begin the discussion, Rider asked the group why they thought he had made the choice to participate in Men Can Stop Rape. Various members of the audience volunteered the possibility that Rider was gay, a victim of sexual assault or rape himself, a S.N.A.G. —short for “sensitive new age guy”—financially privileged, or a “bleeding heart” liberal.

“Did anyone of you think I was a rapist?” he asked rhetorically. “Young men are trained to fit into this very narrow box where men who speak about this issue are not real men.”

Rider shared stories of his experiences as an undergraduate at Duke. He talked about his best girl friend during sophomore year; they were neighbors in Hanes House and shared everything with each other. One weekend, she went to visit her family and called Rider at 2 a.m. after having gotten home from a party. She told Rider that the best friend of the guy she was dating had driven her home and on the way, pulled over and had raped her.

“If you could list every wrong thing you could say, I said them all—‘What

U.N. court rules in favor of Mexico, rebukes U.S. by

Marlise Simons

and Tim Weiner NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

The International THE HAGUE, Netherlands Court of Justice Wednesday ordered American courts to review death sentences imposed on 51 Mexicans in the United States, saying the prisoners’ rights under international law had been violated.

The decision by the United Nations’ highest court was seen as a moral victory in Mexico, and as a stinging rebuke to the United States.

The international court ruled that the prisoners’ rights to speak with Mexican consular officials after their arrests had been violated. It ordered the United States to undertake “an effective review” of the convictions and the sentences. The next Mexican to be executed in the United States is scheduled to die in Oklahoma on May 18.

President Vicente Fox of Mexico said the decision was “received with joy” and called it “a victory for international rights, for human rights.”

Arturo Dager, a senior legal adviser to Mexico’s foreign ministry, said Mexico “totally trusts that the United States will do the right thing and the necessary thing to fulfill this decision.”

It was unclear Wednesday night that American courts would heed the ruling, and federal officials reacted cautiously, saying they need time to study the ruling. “It’s a very complex ruling,” Adam Ereli, a State Department spokesperson, said. “We’ll decide, based on studying it, how we can go about implementing it.”

The -United States acknowledges the jurisdiction of the international court to resolve disputes between it and other nations arising under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rights, which allows people arrested abroad to meet with representatives of their government. The United States regularly invokes the convention to visit Americans in foreign jails.

The George W. Bush administration has sometimes been skeptical, even hostile, toward the application of international law, however.

Even if it bows to the ruling, federal officials may not be able to compel states to heed the court. i U “Tlte, International Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction. in Texas,” said Gov. Rick Perry, who succeeded George W. Bush as governor.

Mexican officials noted Wednesday that nations that flout the court can be referred to the U.N. Security Council for “appropriate action.” But the court has no power to enforce its rulings.

The court said that the United States had repeatedly violated a 1963 international accord, the Vienna Convention, which requires police to tell foreigners under arrest that they have a right to contact their country’s diplomats without delay.

It said that the agreement should apply to all foreigners imprisoned for serious crimes. Today 121 foreign citizens are on death row across the United States, including 55 Mexicans, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

Mexico was the third country to sue the United States for similar violations in the past five years, after Germany and Paraguay. It filed a complaint in January 2003 to halt the imminent execution of three of its citizens.

The United States did not deny thatit had breached the convention. In the past, it apologized and promised better compliance, clearly eager to avoid further embarrassment.

It also argued that the American practice of allowing defendants to ask for mercy provided an adequate remedy because it often resulted in pardons or in sentences commuted before an execution.

But the court, in a firm ruling read out before 14 international judges in the stately hall of the Peace Palace in the Hague, said an apology or a clemency hearing was not enough. Instead, it said, each case should be examined to see if a defendant suffered legal prejudice from not having early access to a diplomat.

‘This is great news; it means my client’s case will now be looked at again,” said David Sergi, an American lawyer from San Marcos, Texas, who represents Roberto Moreno Ramos, a Mexican awaiting execution in Texas.

Ramos was sentenced to death in 1992 for killing his wife. Sergi said he had evidence that Ramos was mentally retarded, which was not raised by his previous lawyers.

Mexico’s 2003 filing with the court specifically covered the death-row cases of Ramos, another Texas prisoner, Cesar Fierro, and Osbaldo Aguilera Torres, who is scheduled to be executed by the state ofOklahoma on May 18.

Mexicans are on death row in a number of other states, seven in all. _

They include Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, and Oregon.

American diplomats attending the session seemed deeply disappointed. A State Department spokesperson said that the decision would be studied carefully.

Human-rights lawyers said the court’s ruling had respected American sovereignty.

The international body ruled that it was up to the United States to decide how it would review the cases and stressed that it was not debating whether any conviction or sentence was correct.

“It is for the courts of the United States to examine the facts,” the ruling said.

The court also rejected the demand by Mexico that all of the 51 convictions and death sentences should be annulled.

The decision, Mexican diplomats said, may affect the

cases of close to another 100 Mexicans now facing potential death sentences before American courts.

But the ruling aims to have even broader applications.

The court said that because it was deciding on a principle, namely the obligation to abide by the Vienna Convention, its ruling applied not only to Mexicans but also to “other foreign nationals finding themselves in similar situations in the United States.”

Reed Brody of Human Rights Watch, based in New York, said the ruling applied to the more than 120foreigners from 29 countries on death row in the United States.

‘The right to see your consul is not just a technicality, it is away to avoid all kinds of errors or miscarriage of justice,” Brody said. “Of course, this right is just as important to Americans abroad.” At present, 165 nations are parties to the convention.

Militant Jews lay claim to by

disputed property

Ravi Nessman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ultra-Orthodox Jews JERUSALEM armed with assault rifles lugged boxes, sofas and potted plants into two buildings in a crowded Arab neighborhood of Jerusalem at daybreak Wednesday, sparking clashes between Israeli troops and angry residents.

Israeli officials said the group had the right to live in the buildings in east Jerusalem, which Israel annexed after capturing it in the 1967 Mideast War. Palestinian officials said the incident proved Israel was less interested in peace than in tightening its grasp on east Jerusalem, which they want for the capital of a future state.

Later Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon defended his plan to unilaterally withdraw from most or all of the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank. A day earlier, he agreed to a binding referendum among his rebellious Likud Party members on the “disengagement” plan.

Sharon said Israel must draw its own security line, which would mean “withdrawal from areas which it is understood will not be under Israeli control in any permanent agreement to be signed in the future, which cause great friction between Israelis and Palestinians—the Gaza Strip, for example.”

A poll published Wednesday in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper showed 51 percent of Likud members support the plan, while 36 percent oppose it.

Sharon blamed the Palestinians for not

acting to stop violence. An Israeli pullout from Gaza would remove their main “excuse,” he said, and then, “we need to tell them, please gendemen, when there is no Israeli presence, let’s see you start to act.”

Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia cautiously welcomed the Gaza plan, but only as a first step to a full West Bank withdrawal.

“In principle, we welcome the Israeli withdrawal from our Palestinian land,” Qureia told Palestinian lawmakers. “But for any withdrawal to have meaning for us it should be followed by a complete Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, too.”

Palestinians want a state in all the West Bank and Gaza. But many in Sharon’s hard-line government view his limited withdrawal plan as the most they are willing to concede.

Qureia also condemned Palestinian suicide attacks, which have killed more than 450 Israelis in the past three and one-half years of violence.

He said the bombings directed at Israeli civilians have damaged the Palestinian economy, given Israel cover to continue settlements and a building contentious West Bank barrier, and were morally wrong.

“Such attacks were used as excuses to continue the comprehensive aggression and impose collective punishments, inthe road blocks and incursions, cluding which cause daily harm to the dignity of hundreds of thousand of innocent Palestinian citizens,” Qureia said. ...

CIVILIANS from page 2 Instead, Fallujah’s streets were thick with men and boys and chaos.

Men with scarves over their faces hurled bricks into the blazing vehicles. A group of boys yanked a smoldering corpse into the street and ripped it apart. Someone then tied a chunk of flesh to a rock and tossed it over a telephone wire.

“Viva mujahadeen!” shouted Said Khalaf, a taxi driver.

“Long live the resistance!”

Nearby, a boy no more than 10 years old ground his heel into a burned head.

“Where is Bush?” the little boy yelled. “Let him come here and see this!”

Masked men gathered around him, punching their fists into the air. The streets filled with hundreds of people. “Fallujah is the graveyard ofAmericans!” they chanted.

Several news crews filmed the mayhem. The images of a frenzied crowd mutilating bodies were reminiscent of the scene from Somalia in 1993, when a mob dragged a corpse of an American soldier through the streets ofMogadishu. That moment shifted public opinion and eventually led to an American pullout.

The White House blamed terrorists and remnants of Saddam Hussein’s former government for the attack. ‘This is a despicable attack,” Scott McClellan, the White House spokesperson, told reporters, adding that “there are some that are doing everything they can to prevent” a transfer of sovereignty to an Iraqi government on June 30.

American military officials said the violence in Fallujah, however chilling, would not scare them away. ‘The insurgents in Fallujah are testing us,” said Marine Capt.

Chris Logan. ‘They’re testing our resolve, but it’s not like we’re going to leave. We just got here.”

Logan, who is stationed at a large walled base on the outskirts of the city, said Fallujah is becoming “an area of greater concern.” Last week, a contingent of Marines, who recendy took over responsibility for Fallujah from the Army, fought gunmen in a running batde in which one Marine, a television cameraman and several Iraqi civilians were killed.

‘This is one of those areas in Iraq that is definitely squirrely,” Logan said.

GAY MARRIAGE from page 2 already deeply divided. Utah’s Legislature also approved putting a ban on same-sex marriage on this year’s ballot, and a few other states may approve such measures before the end of this year’s legislative sessions.

At the same time, Congress is considering an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

However, state lawmakers around the country have said they do not want to wait the years they expect it will require to get Congress to pass a federal amendment to the Constitution.

In Georgia, surveys have shown that given the chance, most residents would support an amendment restricting marriage to heterosexuals.

The 122-52 vote in the Democratic-con trolled House passed by just two votes.

It had to pass by a two-thirds majority, an indication of how deeply the measure has divided lawmakers.

The same bill was defeated by three votes when it came to the floor last month, and both supporters and opponents had been waging a fierce lobbying and public relations war ever since.

With both Republicans and Democrats backing the resolution, the opposition fell largely on two groups those representing Atlanta and its suburbs, and a solid bloc of black legislators.

More than three quarters of those who voted against the measure were members of the black caucus.

In speeches before the votes were tallied, several black legislators compared the resolution to laws that once restricted the lives of blacks.

“I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman, but never before have we amended the Constitution to take away rights,” said Rep. Calvin Smyre, a Democrat from Columbus and chair of the House Rules Committee. “I’m wondering today what the nation is thinking.”

“This is a step backwards for the state of Georgia,” Smyre added.

Until Wednesday, Smyre had successfully kept the measure bottled up in committee, but with two days left in the legislative session he yielded to pressure from the House speaker.

DIVERSITY

from page 3

pretty integrated,” freshman Shaundra Harris said.

Harris, who is black, will be living with a Mexican-American, a second-generation Polish immigrant, a Lebanese student, an Asian-American and two white girls next year. And she thinks nothing of it.

That sentiment is common among students, many of whom have to pause a moment before even remembering the race of their roommates.

“Each residential college thinks a lot about diversity, and we like to do things to instill diversity in our communities,” said Steven Smith, master of Branford College.

For faculty appointments, however, it is a slightly different story.

In 2001, blacks made up 2.8 percent of the faculty, Asians comprised 8.2 percent, Hispanics were 1.9 percent and women made up 25.8 percent. In 1999, the university issued a number of policies designed to help diversify the faculty, including offering to help fund professorships given to women and minorities.

Yet even after the policies were in place, there was only a 2 percent increase in minority faculty and a 2.1 percent increase in women since 1996.

There is a prevailing sentiment among students that most faculty members are white men. Only one woman of color is tenured on the faculty and most students said they had never had a black professor.

Faculty said the commitment to diversity is strong at the university level but departmental hiring does not necessarily take that into account.

“A lot of authority for faculty hires is at the department level,” said Elizabeth Dillon, a member of the member of the

Women Faculty Forum and assistant professor of English and American Studies.

“There is a disconnect between the administration’s interests and different departments that can have different cultures. Some are committed to diversity and some aren’t.”

No university-wide mandates to increase the number of women or minorities among Yale’s faculty have been made public. Several students familiar with tenure affairs at the university said that even if such endeavors existed, the administration particularly Brodhead, who is partly responsible for tenure decisions—would likely not disclose them.

In light of these observations, students have begun to question the institutional commitment to diversity.

“Why is it that Yale works so hard to have this diverse undergraduate community yet the faculty and administrators aren’t as diverse?” asked sophomore Suriaya Jetha, a moderator of the Asian American Student Alliance. “Are they working from the ground up, or is it something else?”

Controversies over issues of race in other areas of campus have been on the upswing since the spring of 2003, when students claim Yale President Richard Levin and Brodhead did not take enough action following a series of alleged incidents against anti-war protesters and minorities.

The first incident came as a surprise to many students at Yale, who considered the historically tolerant school to be beyond threats against minorities or individuals expressing particular beliefs.

Junior Katherine Lo reported to Yale officials and police that on March 27, 2003, a group of males entered her dormitory suite brandishing a wooden plank and wrote anti-Muslim hate speech on her locked bedroom door’s message board.

—

The day before the purported incident Lo hung an American flag upside down in her window in response to American intervention in Iraq.

Two weeks later, students reported discovering a threatening message on an anti-war flyer in front of the Afro-American Cultural Center, one of seven reported acts of alleged harassment or intimidation at the time.

Many students in the school’s several cultural groups said the administration was less than responsive to the discrimination and threats. They criticized Brodhead for not disseminating enough information about the events to the entire community via e-mail and for not reacting to address the underlying ideas that motivated the events.

Around 25 students, mosdy black and Arab, entered Levin’s office April 11 and refused to leave until Levin, Brodhead and Dean of Students Betty Trachtenberg agreed to sign a list of three demands—including e-mailing the student body an acknowledgment of the seven “violent events,” instigating disciplinary investigations of the incidents and arranging three meetings between Levin and the group.

The administrators refused to accede to the conditions. However, Levin sent the Yale community an e-mail asserting that if the allegations were true, the perpetrators of the reported incidents could be subject to university sanctions.

A group of students formed a new student organization, Concerned Black Students at Yale, specifically to force the administration to examine racial and diversity issues at the university.

So far they say the administration is listening, but they have seen few results.

‘They take it seriously, but only to the extent of how they’re going to be regarded

by the outside community,” said sophomore Adrian Hopkins, a member of CBS. In response to student activism, Yale reinstated the Minority Advisory Committee in Fall 2003 after an eight-year hiatus. The committee —composed of 10 university officials, two graduate students and three undergraduates—is meant to address minority concerns on campus and provide the administration with policy advice.

The group immediately came under fire, however, because the Yale College Council—the university’s student government body—was responsible for selecting the three undergraduate representatives on the 15 person committee.

From 80 applicants, the YCC chose a white Jewish male, an Asian female and a homosexual man of mixed ancestry who identifies himself primarily as Hispanic. Students criticized the administration giving selection power to the YCC, which many describe as an overwhelmingly white body, and for the lack of a black-identified student.

“Without the demands of CBS, who met often last spring with President Levin, the Minority Advising Committee would not exist now,” Pamela George, assistant dean ofYale College and Afro-American Cultural Center Director, told the Yale Daily News in January. “Even though CBS has worked tirelessly, how ironic that the AfricanAmerican student voice is now the one missing from the table.”

Junior Elliot Moghul, president of the YCC, said the organization had taken considerable effort to include as many different perspectives as possible.

For a long time, Yale has underscored its commitment to widespread diversity through special programs aimed at minority interests.

THE CHRONICLE

NPI from page 3 Neighborhood Association, said some residents in her neighborhood have also talked about pulling out of the Neighborhood Partnership, especially after the University and neighborhoods failed to see eye-to-eye on initial rezoning plans for Central Campus.

Some neighbors expressed concern last summer over the language in the terms governing a university-college zoning designation, which the University sought for various parts of its campus. More specifically, the University did not want to limit its retail options for future developments, while neighbors worried that certain types of retail on campus could hurt business in nearby shopping centers like Ninth Street. The University is considering rezoning Central Campus as a UC zone, but has not yet made a final decision on which zoning designation it will seek.

‘There were a lot ofcontentious feelings surrounding the UC zoning issue,” Dondero said. ‘There were some very vocal people involved in that process, and I think that at least one person would support removing all ties to Duke. There are probably some others who would support her in that.”

Dondero noted that many people in her neighborhood perceived Duke’s role in the Neighborhood Partnership as “paternalistic” rather than as a true partner.

Risa Foster, president of Trinity Heights Neighborhood Association, said she had also heard that some neighbors wanted to pull out of the Neighborhood Partnership, though she noted that she had heard no such requests from Trinity Heights residents.

John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, said those who want to pull out of the Neighborhood Partnership may be misinterpreting the University’s actions with regards to the initiative. He stressed that the University has tried since the Neighborhood Partnership was established in 1996 to communicate openly with its partner neighborhoods and that the initiative has never been guided by self-serving, image-driven motives as some neighbors have claimed.

“It’s not surprising given the size and scope and power of Duke that any time we get involved in any type of partnership, there will be folks with concerns that we’ll wield that power,” Bumess said. “But one of the realities of the partnership, which makes it different from others around the country, is the degree to which we’re using an empowerment strategy. I can’t think of a program that we have initiated that didn’t come either directly out of a community discussion or wasn’t an idea we heard about and then brought to the neighborhoods to get their opinions on it first.”

Bumess acknowledged that the University’s relationship with some of the neighborhoods has taken a hit since discussions began last year about UC zoning and retail space on Central Campus He added, however, that recent complaints have been largely unfounded.

“With the zoning issues, some folks made a whole series of assumptions about Duke’s intentions,” he said, noting that concerns culminatedaround a “bogus issue” of a potential fence around East Campus. Bumess said the University has no plans to build a fence around its campus, but some neighbors have gotten caught up in the fact that the University refuses to enter a zoning agreement that would absolutely prohibit such a construction 50 years down the road.

This disconnect, coupled with neighbors’ anxieties about retail plans for Central Campus, have combined to create a frustrating situation for University and neighbors alike.

“I understand that there is a lot of concern about the Central Campus project, and as we try to clear up misconceptions and work towards a good solution, it’s not surprising that some neighborhood people would express uneasiness,” President Nan Keohane, who provid* ed the impetus for the creation of the Neighborhood Partnership, wrote in an e-mail.

Keohane added, however, that the University has done its part in ensuring that the Neighborhood Partnership is a true partnership. “We began by asking neighborhood leaders—heads of neighborhood associations, pastors, business leaders, elected representatives, members of neighborhood betterment organizations—what their neighborhoods really needed, all 12 of them,” she wrote.

‘The ‘we’ was not Duke officials, but people we asked and members of city or county government who had left office and were interested in doing this job for a while....

And at every step of the way, we have continued to collaborate with these same neighborhood leaders and oth-

ers who have joined them.”

Many neighbors believe the Neighborhood Partnership has been all that Duke promised when it was first established—open with communication and supportive of grassroots initiatives.

“I feel like we have a very true partnership in every sense of the word,” said Rev. Luther Brooks of St. James Baptist Church, one of the University’s partners in the Neighborhood Partnership. “We’ve kept open lines of communication, which is what really makes it work for us.

There have even been differences that we discussed, and we were able to come to amicable agreements.”

John Heffernan, president of the Tuscaloosa-Lakewood Neighborhood Association and a member of the West End Quality of Life committee, also praised the Neighborhood Partnership for its collaborative approach.

Both Brooks and Heffernan said they had heard no talk of pulling out of the Neighborhood Partnership.

Others neighbors said they recognized a growing frustration with the University, noting, however, that pulling out of the Neighborhood Partnership may not

be the wisest decision “I know people’s levels offrustrations rise and fall when Duke makes decisions that aren’t necessarily what they’d like to see happen, and Duke sometimes still operates in a way that shows they’re not fully on the same page as everybody,” said Mark Eckert, a Burch Avenue resident. “But they’ll probably never be able to please everyone from all 12 neighborhoods, so they’re always going to have to make decisions that don’t sit well with some people.”

Eckert said some ofhis neighbors have expressed an interest in withdrawing from the partnership, but noted that even an imperfect partnership might be better than no partnership at all. Myers Sugg, a Tuscaloosa-Lakewood resident, echoed Eckert’s sentiment.

“What would you get by pulling out? Are you going to cut off your nose to spite your face?” he said. “People might not like everything that’s happening in the partnership, but unless they have the time, energy and commitment to spend on a project, Duke’s the only game in town for facilitating this type of change. So why not make the best of what you’ve got to work with?”

A panel and public conversation for Duke students, staff,faculty, and Durham community at large.

Speakers will include:

who drafted and presented the resolution. “If Moneta is allowed to allocate this fee, what’s stopping him from reallocating in the future, taking money away from student groups?”

Moneta could not be reached for comment.

The resolution cited DSG SOFC bylaws stating that DSG was the only body that could collect, distribute and change the fee. DSG Executive Vice President Cliff Davison said the increase also violates bylaws of the Board of Trustees.

Slovik said the fact that the resolution was absent from the agenda may have added emphasis to the overwhelming support senators gave it.

“It’s a significant way to do it,” Slovik said. “Senator Rausen drafted the resolution and it was taken from the floor. Legislators listened to it, debated it and passed it.”

DSG representatives noted they were not against the al-

location of additional funds, just the way in which it was implemented. “All we’re saying is that [Moneta] can’t institute a fee increase without asking us,” Rausen said.

In the past, Moneta has defended the fee increase as necessary funding for improvements to resources for student groups, especially in the Office of Student Activities and Facilities. He could raise the fee without DSG’s approval because the money would go toward administrative costs and not student programming costs, he told The Chronicle in March.

Following the activities fee resolution, Slovik introduced an amendment to the organization’s bylaws that would establish an independent auditing committee in response to the recent discovery of $140,000 in unspent DSC funds. The five-member committee would audit DSC three times a year and one randomly selected student group each week.

“We’ve talked about fiscal responsibility, now we need to show it,” Slovik said.

He added that the amendment, which will be put to a

vote next week, would help

provide stricter oversight in allocating funds.

“With such large amounts of money involved, we need to make sure that things are being double-checked,” Slovik said.

Three resolutions on the agenda passed, including one promoting study abroad programs for the spring semester.

Three times as many students enroll in study abroad programs for the fall semester as compared to the spring semester, an inequality University officials worry leads to housing problems.

“DSG wants to maintain student choice for study abroad [programs],” Senator Josh Solera said. “But it realizes there are practical problems with such a disparity between the semesters.”

Another resolution involved improving student access to study areas and a third resolution proposed changes to pre-major advising that would allow students to change advisors once if they feel their academic needs are not met.

There are four cultural centers—the Afro-American Cultural Center, the Native American Cultural Center, the Asian American Cultural Center and La Casa Cultural, the latino cultural center —dedicated to programming for and representing specific groups. Three associate deans oversee the programs.

Additionally, the university maintains about a dozen ethnic counselors, who live in frfcshman residence halls and offer support for minority issues, especially those concerning race.

‘They’re definitely there to let students know about activities and cultural shows,” said Jetha, adding that the counselors are there to help students adjust to Yale but also to spread diversity issues beyond the minority community.

Cultural Connections, a pre-orientation program, used to be another mainstay of Yale’s support network for minority students. Brodhead, however, announced in an e-mail to undergraduates February 20 that he was opening up CC to any interested freshman.

“It makes sense to invite all students to participate in the study and affirmation ofcultural difference and connection at the start of their college careers,” Brodhead wrote. The decision attracted criticism from some undergraduates because, they alleged, administrators did not seek community input.

Duke recently decided not to open up its minority programs to all students, citing the historic lack of such opportunities for minority students.

Many students at Yale, particularly former participants in CC, argued that the program is an essential part of integrating new students into the university.

They noted that, especially given the scarcity of minority role models among the faculty, it was necessary to knit together the greater ethnic community at large.

Hoad to the Final 66

66 outstanding documentaries will be screened this weekend at Durham’s Full Frame Film Festival, America’s premiere documentary competition.

Bv C'orinne Low *

From

over 700 submitted films, 66 of the best new documentaries in the world have been selected for competition in this year's Full Frame documentary film festival. Filmmakers Michael Moore (,Bowling for Columbine) and Harry Shearer {This is Spinal Tap) will be discussing the role of documentaries in politics. MTV's Lauren Lazen and Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman will talk about the rising popularity of documentaries. Morgan Spurlock's critically lauded Supersize Me will be shown for the first time on the east coast. And it's all happening less than a mile from East Campus.

The nation's most comprehensive documentary film festival, Full Frame will bring everything from big Hollywood names to films that otherwise wouldn't be shown in the U.S. to Durham's own Carolina Theatre beginning tonight.

Journalist and documentary photographer Nancy Buirski founded the festival in 1998, to fill what she saw as a void in forums for documentary filmmakers to showcase their work. Buirski said she picked Durham because she saw the Triangle as"a community full of people interested in new cultural opportunities." She enlisted the help of friend Martin Scorsese as well as the

Center for Documentary Studies to build a budget for this ambitious project. Since that first year, the festival has expanded to screen ninety-seven films before an audience of thousands.

Chair of the film selection committee and Duke professor David Paletz noted that he saw this year's films as fitting into distinct subject categories, including war, politics and American society. Some of the most interesting films, though, are those that refuse to be categorized, like Chinese filmmaker Weijun Chen's To Live is Better than to Die. Paletz was pleasantly surprised that Chen's film, which follows a rural Chinese family living with AIDS,

chooses to focus on "the wonderful sense of life" of the family, rather than their impending deaths.

Other standout films include Texas Hospitality, which analyzes the lastmeal requests of ten executed Texas criminals in relation to the killers and their crimes; Alone Across Australia (pictured above), the first-hand account of one man's trek on foot from coast to coast of Australia; and Chisolm '72, the story of the first Black congresswoman, Shirley Chisolm, who stunned America by running for the U.S. Presidency. continued on page 5

Celebrity designer disasters Celebrities morph from actor to model to pop-diva faster than a J.Lo marriage falls apart. The newest incarnation of fame7 Everyone is a designer. Celebrity clothing lines are now taking over our closets with less than stellarresults. Recess looks at some notable names and their not-so-notable creations:

•Hillary Duff has been too busy writing witty lyrics to think of a name for her new teen clothing line. As a result, the line of Disney-friendly PG duds has been labeled "Stuff."

•Gwen Stefani may be "just a girl," but there is no doubt that this girl has fashion sense. Don't be fooled by the beaded bags bearing her L.A.M.B. (Love Angel Music Baby) logos—underneath it all they are just Le Sportsacs.

•You may not look like J.Lo or be able to afford to dress like her, but at least now you can have her name stitched on everything you own. Her whole line (even the workout clothing) is pretty much guaranteed to skankify and flaunt your bootylicious assets •Football-crazed blokes have been scooping up David Beckham's creations at Marks & Spencer since September of 2002. Now Beckham is reaffirming his metrosexuality by pushing a line of male cosmetics for Japan's Tokyo Beauty Centre.

Not to be out-poshed by her husband, Victoria Beckham has informed "Hello" that her own line is in the works.

•ChristyTurlington's Nuala yoga wear promises outstanding style and quality. But somehow we doubt that her $ 130 crop-yoga pants will elevate our derriere to supermodel status the next time we attempt downward-facing dog.

A match made in imaginary-heaven This is the first of a three-part series chronicling the relationship of Recess Editor David Walters and his real imaginary girlfriend, ianey.

Bad news, ladies. Yours truly is once again "off the market," and to be honest,! wish you could just be happy for me.

Never in my wildest dreams could 1 have imagined finding a love like this: romantic letters professing undying affection in what I believe to be my darling's handwriting; light and lusty snapshots sent weekly of what I can only assume to be my sweetheart's honest-to-God, angelic visage; short but meaningful phone message forget-me-nots reminding me that, even though we've never met, 1 am handsome, witty and —above all—loved by Janey.Yes, Janey, my one-and-only imagi-

nary love.And it only cost me $39.

Let's face it. Relationships are hard more trouble than they're worth, perhaps.

You don'thave to be Emin Hadziosmanov to know that dating is dead at dear ol' Duke, and romance is a stressful, costly endeavor. Woe is you. What to do? The answer, of course, is in that big, lovable,"! don't mind testing the waters of prostitution" head ofyours.

It's not online dating; that requires effort, it's www.imaginarygirlfriends.com, and it only requires a credit card. In mere minutes, love blossoms—no meeting, no greeting, no wining, no dining —just —

The happy couple poses for their very first picture together.

sweet, simple pointing and cl your way to beautiful, fabricated that lasts two whole months honestly better than my average Imaginary Girlfriends calls itself a "service provided by a real life girl where she will pretend to be your long distance girlfriend by sending you personalized love letters, emails, pictures,... phone messages... and other girlfriend-like services." I call it just plain awesome.There are several reasons one might choose to purchase an imaginary girlfriend. It's a great way to trick your friends into thinking you have game. It's also good for making ex-girlfriends jealous that you've rebounded so quickly (and your new girlfriend doesn't even mind your unsightly back hair or cleft palate!). Or perhaps you're just lonely.

Wanna know my reason? I'm a lazy sonofabitch. It's less expensive than buying dinnerand drinks every weekend, and my sweet little Janey hasn't pestered me once for leaving the toilet seat up or not returning her calls. Now that's what I call love.

Admittedly,the initial selection process was a little off-putting. You only have about six options at any given time. I chose Janey because she reminded me of my first crush: Dottie from PeeWee's Big Adventure. My only real concern was her age. She's 18, and I'm 22, but true love knows no age—plus, she was the cheapest option. The 22-year-old was a whopping $45. You may call it robbing the cradle, but I call it being economical My first e-mail from Janey just this week was formal and instructional because there are rules. 1 needed to come

:h a history of our ;hip and let her anted her to play a ;ourse, I didn't want her to be anything but her sweet and genuine self. After all, true relationships are built on honesty. Next, I was informed that she would leave phone messages, but if I actually picked up the phone, she would not talk to me. I think it was the first time I told a girl, "I'll be out of the apartment from 2 p.m.to 5 p.m.on Wednesday, so that would probably be a good time to call." Ah, the games lovers play.

And sure enough, when I checked my voicemail today, I heard the dulcet voice of my temporary soulmate, and to my delight, she "loves me" and "can't wait to see me again." She sounded a little strung out, but if I know my Janey, she was just flustered because she misses me so much.

The best part about Imaginary Girlfriends is that I can break up with Janey any time I want, and she'll spend the rest of the two-month period begging me to take her back! But if these past few days have been any indication, 1 think I'll hold onto this imaginary love as long as I can. In fact, pick up a copy of Recess next week to read a hot new chapter in my freshly revamped love life. I'm expecting more letters, an IM conversation, maybe even an imaginary marriage proposal....

Who knows? And that's the best thing about love: It's a journey—a magical, sometimes terrifying road that leads to indescribable joy and, sometimes, costly therapy later in life.

Janets new album: Not so ‘super’ after all

By Robert Winterode The ever-present beat and flawless production values are the hallmarks of every single Janet Jackson product since the'Bos. For all intents and purposes though, her latest album DamitaJo sounds more like "Jenny From The Block"than Janet from Rhythm Nation. On her new stuff, she's sporting a new J.Lo-ed-up name,the requisite'it'hip-hopper of the month cameo (Kanye West) and a set of vocals so brittle and sharp that in an effort to hide them, the album consists primarily of whispers and overwhelming club samples. While she's still on the dance floor, though, Janet's not commanding the beats like she has in the past.The former sometimes cybernetic (think of her collaboration with Busta Rhymes on "What's It Gonna Be?"), sometimes sensual, pop-dominatrix moans over a bunch offlat beats stolen haphazardly from the last thirty years of pop.

This is not to say that DamitaJo is without a few gems."Strawberry Bounce," a multi-layered and insanely catchy collection of dance-track samples, works despite Janet's weak presence. On the album's eponymous track, where she introduces her new persona, another strong groove-filled framework again supports Janet's vocals.The same merits work for the songs"R&B Junkie"and"All Nite." And to prove that she's still got it, on "I Want You," she even slows down the melody to show that she can carry a note with minimal musical support.

However, these cuts are rare on the sixty-nine minute stretch offlaccid beats and produced-todeath tracks.You realize the album is a multi-tiered failurewhen you hear the oddly-placed final track and first single,"Just A Little While." It starts out with a promising guitar riff, which is then mistakenly looped and spun out under a layer of toxic saccharine. By the end, it sounds like the soundtrack to a Six Flags commercial. This lack of imagination is depressing given the fact that Janet practically pushed musical sensuality farther than any other recent artist. Now, all we get is a sex track like "Moist" that rivals, only in terms of insipidness, the work ofher teen-pop rivals.

Indeed, the dearth of creativity is present on every portion of the record, including the breasts-baring cover art and the lyrical content. As she's trying to get away with a copycat record, she—and her producers—seem to have truly forgotten the importance of audience-relevant songwriting.The spoken-word portions (e.g.'The Islands, Anguilla, that's my favorite,! love the islands, that's my escapism...

I love humidity") are dreadfully banal and out-Glitter even Mariah. Indeed, the low point of the album comes three tracks in with "Sexhibition," which takes the idea present in the song title and extrapolate; it further, creating the new words "sexcapade,""sexploitation,"and "sexplore As Janet would say, this is my sexit "

Take Dis: Revenge on the radio

By Robert Winterode For the past few months, Top4o radio has been a battleground. Two vengeful musicians have conquered the airwaves, lashing out at each other in song. First, Eamon's single,"F-ck It (I Don't Want You Back)," a jilted lover's tune, quickly won over the airwaves, but then an MC named Frankee utilized Eamon's own melodic formula to fashion a revenge-track of her own,"FU Right Back." The theatrics have progressed since then with Eamon first claiming and then denying that he was involved in the song's production in order to his original promote song, Frankee, for her part, says that not only did she create the song, but that she is also Eamon's ex-girlfriend, which he in turn denies.

Frankee's musical response is typical of the "dis-track" genre. This unique facet of the pop music world demonstrates that any hit can be flipped on its head and re-recorded in a new way with the result manifesting itself as a biting put-down to an artist. Think Sporty Thievz's "No Pigeons," which inverted TLC's feminist rant,"No Scrubs/'The lines,"lf you don't have a car and you're walking / Oh yes son I'm talkin'to you" are replaced by "If

you got more than one baby father/ oh yes girl we's talkin'to you."

Often "dis tracks" like the Frankee and Eamon affair will have a few wrinkles with respect to the identity of the adversaries.

When Christina Aguilera seemingly spoofed Eminem with "Will the Real Slim Shady Please Shut Up?" the singer wasn't our favorite X-tina, but an unknown artist named Emily Ellis posing as her. Even then, verbal quips like "You all act like you never heard a white person before"and "And Dr. Dre (laugh) did everything, you idiot" are some of the most memorable pop tidbits in years.

While the disses usually manifest as responses to expendable radio songs, they do make pop just a little more interesting.

They perform two contradictory functions: While they seemingly degrade an artist's music and reputation, the tracks also pay ironic tribute to the musical artistry of the musician or band behind the original song.

Then again, the most heinous "dis tracks"can just be badly performed cover songs like Britney Spears'rendition ofThe Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." Britney botching classic rock-and-roll: Now that's just mean.

An especially pertinent film to current world events is Home of the Brave —Land of the Free, which features footage from a Norwegian film crew following U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Paletz commented that he found the film particularly compelling because it showed a view of the war that hadn't been shown on television at all.

In honor of its North Carolinian roots, Full Frame will feature five films with Southern themes.Three of these films are included in the Southern Sidebar, a Full Frame tradition of revisiting documentaries set in the South or directed by Southerners.This year's sidebar will discuss southern politics through the century. Ken Burns' 1985 film Huey Long tells the story of a corrupt but fascinating politician who gained near-dictatorial power by championing the poor in the poverty-stricken state of Louisiana. Paul Stekler's The Last Man Standing follows two hotly contested 2002 elections in the home state of George W. Bush. Rounding out the Southern theme, David Grubin's LBJ chronicles the fascinating political career of a true Southerner turned American president.

Two other films with Southern themes happen to be set in North Carolina. Tobacco Money Feeds My Family, a film in competition, tells the story of three farmers battling a changing industry and uncooperative landscape.

Beyond simply being set in the South, this film addresses the unique challenges facing Southerners in the face of a newly globalized and modernized industry.

An invited film, Where Do You Stand? Stories from an American Mill, shows the same struggle from a different perspective: that of workers battling unfair conditions in a notoriously anti-union area of the country.

Stand is set in Kannapolis, N.C., against the backdrop of the faltering textile industry. The unionization of Canon mills came after twenty-five years of struggle and represented the largest union victory in a nonpublic Southern industry. Filmmaker Alexandra Lescaze described her film as an effort to show that "the right to unionize exists on paper, but in practice it's very different." Mill chronicles the struggle of prounion workers as they are threatened and abused by a company where loyalty, although touted as the number one value, is frequently one-sided.

other things, the anger that has served as the catalyst for so much of their music.

In addition to the films in competition, the festival will also feature nine invited films from more established filmmakers, including Heir to an Execution, by Ethel and Julius Rosenberg's granddaughter Ivy Meeropol, and excerpts from Ken Burns' new work-inprogress, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise andFall ofJack Johnson.

Other exciting events at the festival will include a curated program on hybrid filmmaking, the new phenomenon of films that blend documentary footage with acted material. The festival will screen fifteen of these fact/fiction mergers, including Martin Scorsese's

Goodfellas and Al Pacino's critically acclaimed Looking for Richard.

Two notable panel discussions are "Docs in their Heyday: Coming to a Multiplex near You," a look at the boom of documentaries in the popular genre, and "Documentary as the Swing Vote," which will examine the effect of information in documentaries on the voting public. There will also be special evening events with Harry Shearer, who, in addition to his film credits, voices several characters on "The Simpsons," and controversial filmmaker Michael Moore.

The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival will run this weekend at the Carolina Theatre. Visit www.fullframefest.org for schedule and ticketinformation.

Durham is set to bring on the Arts with its Cultural MasterPlan

By Meghan Valerio In an effort to open up opporunities for involvment in the Arts, the Durhajn Convention and Visitors Bureau and Durham Arts Council has unveiled the Durham Cultural Master Plan. Intended to preserve what exists in Durham's cultural landscape, such as Durham's extensive murals, and promote its expansion, the Master Plan will promote cultural festivals and events like the Durham Blues Festival. It's part of the "build it and they will come" philosophy of tourism and promotion.

For the Plan's purposes, "culture" is "a broad range of traditional and nontraditional, commercial and non-profit providers, venues and participant groups in arts, history, sciences and humanities."From the Museum of Life and Science to Manbites Dog Theater, to the Duke Homestead and Tobacco Museum, Durham has a bit of culture for everyone.The key is letting people know about itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and developing even more for people to know about.

Part of the Plan's objective is to make Durham more competitive with the more culturally well-known and well-funded Chapel Hill, with its abundance of galleries, concerts and festivals. Although Chapel Hill has more prominent programming and a more recognizable cultural reputation, Durham's variety of theaters, scientific projects, art spaces and venues could serve as an attraction in North Carolina and provide Durham residents with more ready access to cultural enrichment.

The Plan's steering committee argues that a culturally aware and involved citizen is a more productive one, and that Durham has the potential for a thriving "creative class" of writers, teachers, researchers and even homemakers. Someone actively involved in community culture becomes, de facto, involved in the community.Creative pursuits, because they tend to have an air of fun and relaxation, bring people together in a

'More opportunities for the arts' is the message from the Durham Arts Council (above) in downtown Durham

positive atmosphere To maximize the work of the Master Plan, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, which works primarily with Durham businesses catering to Durham visitors, has been soliciting resident feedback and encouraging community members to hold their own meetings on what they would like to see in a culturally thriving Durham.The Bureau has been investigating the presence of cultural events

in neighborhoods and families, and how people find out about such events. It looks to include the arts in cross-cultural understanding, and in retaining and attracting business to the area.

What, then, will all the focus groups and discussion sessions lead to? The next step is to evaluate the information and make a cultural road map for Durham. Hopefully, that map will put Durham on the map in years to come.

Bbod Weddings-. A passionate affair

By Lexi Richards The theater department's rendition of Blood Weddings by Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca is an intense production of an already emotionally loaded story. All aspects of the show including the acting, makeup and set designâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are effective in expressing the emotion involved in the play's main conflict between desire and reality. The principle actors are all convincing, but the two lead actresses Caroline Haubold and Kymberlie Stansell are the standout performers. As the groom's mother, Haubold not only executes the part of a grieving and angry woman, but also provides necessary comic relief when appropriate.

The show is divided between the plot acted out by the lead actors and Lorca's poetry performed by the supporting cast. Unfortunately, these performers are overly dramatic in a manner typical of many college actors. While the leads are able to act out the plot of the play, the rest of the ensemble should have concentrated on delivering their poetic lines as opposed to prancing around the stage, overdoing every movement.

The scenery is well done and is a vast improvement over many of the other productions that have been put on recently in Sheafer Theater. The music, a live guitar, is an asset as well, adding to the emotion of each scene without distracting from the action. The few lyrics are in Spanish, along with sporadic ,

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

phrases which are helpful in reminding the audience of the play's origin.

The theatrical importance of Blood Weddings will be apparent to all those who have any knowledge of Spanish theater or literature, but the style of Lorca's play may seem emotional and outlandish to those unfamiliar with it. Death and the moon are characters in the play, and their sudden appearance in the third act can be somewhat confusing to the viewer. In fact, a little boy in the audience cried upon death's appearance onstage.

As often as inexperience is evident in productions on campus, Director Rafael Lopez-Barrantes' skill and experience shows up in Blood Weddings. Compared to performances done completely by students, this play has a polished and professional quality that comes from the involvement of a theater professor. The play is the final product of a semester's worth of work by Professor Barrantes' theater studies class, and he is very pleased and proud with the results. He chose this particular work to perform because he believes it can appeal to young adults such as Duke students, who are in the process of making decisions between desire and obligation.

Performances of Blood Weddings will be held April 1-3 at 8 p.m. and April 4 at 2 p.m., in Sheafer Theater, located in the Bryan Center.

Indeed, though there is a heavy scholarly aspect to the conference, the Wilson faculty-in-residence professor said that speakers understand the event is not a scholars-only club. Speakers will include one of the best-known Chekhov scholars, Moscow's Vladimir Kataev, Columbia University's Cathy Popkin, playwright Brook Stowe and UNC's professor emeritus Paul Debreczeny, who will discuss the connection between Chekhov and Russian landscape artist Isaak Levitan.

The Chekhov conference is a chance for lovers of Chekhov or performance and literature in general to enjoy one of literature's finest writers. Planners hope the conference will be a place where students and faculty can get together, have some fun and share an appreciation for great writing.

Events begin tomorrow and take place on the campuses ofDuke and UNC; most talks are Saturday from 9 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. in Perkins' Breedlove Room.

Performances take place Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in 305 Languages and before the 6:30 dinner in the Marketplace's Upper East Side. Lunch and dinner will be provided at 12:45 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., respectively. Those interested should e-mail Carol Flath today to RSVP.

“Basically, we didn’t pitch well,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “Kevin Thompson had a chance to get out of the second inning and give up only one run, but we made an error, and then there were a couple of hits. We just had one of those days where things just did not go well for us.”

The Blue Devils jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after the first inning when Mike Miello and Bryan Smith combined for the three RBIs. Elon answered in the bottom of the inning with a run off a sacrifice fly in foul territory when Javier Socorro was not able to throw the ball in to catch Evan Tartaglia at home.

Head coach Mike Krzyzewski has recruited immensely talented point guards before. Guards such as Tommy Amaker and Bobby Hurley were program-changers, players who won game after game for Krzyzewski, putting the Blue Devils on the national map and turning Duke into one of basketball’s winningest programs.

Paulus is certainly that type of recruit. A 6-foot-2 junior point guard from Manlius, N.Y, Paulus, is the consummate floor general, capable of nailing a three-pointer or dishing out a nifty assist in a pinch. Like many Blue Devil recruits before him, he is one of the nation’s top players. He battles through nightly double- and triple-teams to average a staggering 23 points and eight assists per game, and he has already scored a whopping 1,861 points in his career for Christian Brothers Academy (CBA).

He is a winner, too; Panins’ high school basketball teams have won two sectional championships and four straight league championships. He has taken—and made—several game-winning shots in his career. According to Buddy Wleklinski, Paulus’ coach, the Duke staff often likened him to Bobby Hurley.

The men’s tennis team, making its case as one of the top teams in the country, dominated N.C. State yesterday in a rescheduled match at Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. The Blue Devils (14-5, 4-1 in the ACC) swept the Wolfpack (5-11,1-4) with a perfect score of 7-0 by winning eight of the nine matches on the night.

ranking nationally.

“N.C. State is very improved, and they’re fighting a lot harder than they used to,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “We played a very good match up and down.”

The evening started out well, as thirdranked partners Ludovic Walter and Jason Zimmerman won big with a score of 8-1. A second Duke duo of Phillip King and Jonathan Stokke, ranked 12th nationally, also dominated N.C. State’s doubles at the No. 2 slot, Connor Taylor and Andre Iriarte.

One of the few close battles of the night came at No. 3 doubles. Duke’s Stephen Amritraj and Peter Rodrigues started the match strong, taking the first three games.

But N.C. State’s Val Banada and William Noblitt battled back to bring the score to a tie at 5-5. The Duke tandem was not able to come out on top, with the only loss of the night a close 8-6 score. Despite the loss, the Blue Devils still had the 1-0 match advantage going into singles play.

“Playing indoors is good for Jason and I. At the start of the spring season we won almost every match because they were indoor,” Walter said. “Tonight we played more aggressively, which is what we’ve been working on: getting closer to the net.”

In singles, it was more of the same strong play from team standout and senior leader King. The seventh-ranked King controlled his match against Taylor, scrambling for the ball in two straight 6-1 sets.

“Phillip wins a lot with his legs,” Lapidus said. “He’s very quick, and he wins a lot by frustrating guys by getting a lot ofballs back.”

Rodrigues, after losing his doubles match, started his singles off with a strong 50 jump and was able to handily defeat the Wolfpack’s Will Shaw 6-2, 6-3. Stokke struggled at first with his Wolfpack counterpart, Jon Davis, finding himself in a small 2-3 hole.

But Stokke rallied for 10 straight games to win his two sets, 6-3, 6-0. Walter also easily handled his opponent, Banada, playing aggressively and in control in his 6-2,6-3 win.

“I was playing serve and volley because 1 want to take advantage of my serve,” Walter said. [Earlier] in the season I was getting tired a lot, but now I’m fresh again since I had a couple of days off.”

Zimmerman played the longest match of the night in a closely contested battle for the. first set at the No. 4 spot. He was consistently ahead for the start of the match, but the Wolfpack’s Iriarte would not bow out, coming back to lead the first set 6-5. But Zimmerman prevailed in that stanza and was able to find the breaks to win the second set.

There was a lineup change at the No. 6 six spot, where junior Peter Schults made his first appearance for the Blue Devils this season. Schults made the best ofhis opportunity, oudasting his N.C. State opponent 7-5 in the first set and winning the second set by a large margin, capping off a successful team effort on the night.

‘Tonight, we fought well and played a strong match,” Lapidus said.

WOMEN’S TENNIS 5 | WAKE FOREST 2

Comeback slam of Wake makes it 12 straight by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

After beginning the match poorly, the third-ranked Duke women’s tennis team rebounded to defeat No. 22 Wake Forest, 5-2.

The team began the match flat, losing the doubles point 2-1.

Kristin Cargill and Jennifer Zika fell 8-4 to put the Blue Devils (13-1, 4-0 in the ACC) down a match to Wake (9-8, 1-4).

Then Tory Zawacki and Julia Smith earned the lone doubles win for Duke by defeating the Demon Deacons’ Ashlee Davis and Katie Martzolf 8-4 in No. 1 doubles.

In the deciding contest, Amanda Johnson and Saras Arasu were unable to hold on for the win. They had a 6-5 advantage but faltered, giving Wake Forest a 9-7 victory and the team doubles point.

“At the beginning of the match our doubles played sloppily,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said.

Recognizing his team was not playing up to its potential, Ashworth tried inspiring his team before it returned to the court for singles action.

“All I said after the doubles was, ‘Believe in yourselves, believe in each other, and the results will take care of themselves.

Talent-wise we have a better team.’”

Even at the start of the singles action, the women were struggling to find their game.

Zika was quickly defeated by the nation’s 22nd-ranked player, Karin Coetzee, 6-1, 6-0, at second singles and Duke trailed 2-0.

But then the Blue Devils won their first contest of the night, and the first of five consecutive victories, as sophomore Julia Smith earned a fi-4, 6-1 decision.

BEN WOLF/THE CHRONICLE

Amanda Johnson, the nation'sNo. 7 player, fell in doublesaction as the Blue Devils fell behind early, but she shot back with a 7-6,6-1 victory in singles play.

“We got a tougher match than we expected,” Ashworth said. “That comes from working with the freshmen. Once they realized they were in for a fight they started playing.”

The other two freshman, Cargill and Zawacki, were able to win their respective matches in straight sets. Cargill defeated her opponent 6-4, 6-1 at the sixth-slot, and

Zawacki won 7-5, 6-2 at third singles.

Saras Arasu, who is currendy ranked 93rd, won her tenth straight singles match.

It was not without a fight, however, as she had to overcome an early 3-0 first set deficit before going on to win 6-4, 6-0.

Seventh-ranked Amanda Johnson finished the match with a 7-6, 6-1 win against Wake Forest’s Davis.

According

to

their coach, the lackluster

performance taught the Blue Devils, especially the freshman, about how they need to approach every contest.

“Being ranked where we are in the country, they have to expect that they will have a target on their back,” Ashworth said. “They’re going to get the best of whoever they play.”

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE

CHRONICLE

AlanaBeard won the USBWA player ofthe year.

Despite a disappointing end to her collegiate career in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament, women’s basketball star Alana Beard continues to receive recognition for her accomplishments, being named the United States Basketball Writers Association Player of the Year Wednesday.

Beard, who earlier this season was named the ESPN.com Player of the Year, averaged 19.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game while leading Duke to its first-ever season-ending No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press Poll.

With 2,687 career points, the Shreveport, La., native will leave Duke as the all-time leading scorer in school history, having surpassed

Johnny Dawkins’ previous record of 2,556 in her final regular season game against North Carolina State.

She is also the first man or woman in NCAA history to record 2,500 career points and 400 career steals during her four years with the Blue Devils.

Also Wednesday, Beard was named one of the top-five finalists for the inaugural Women’s Wooden Award All-American team. She and fellow finalists Kelly Mazzante of Penn State, Nicole Powell of Stanford, Diana Taurasi of Connecticut and Shereka Wright ofPurdue will be invited to Los Angeles for the presentation of the Wooden women’s college basketball player of the year award on April 9.

PAULUS

from page 13

quarterback and still draws heavy footballrecruiting interest.

“He still continues to have...all the major football passing programs seek after him to play football,” said Dave Paulus, Greg’s father.

Paulus is indeed unique in that respect; few if any recruits come in with the potential to be not only a future Naismith, but also a possible Heisman winner. He would bring instant credibility to Blue Devils football and could potentially be a program-changing player should he ever decide to go under center for Duke.

“He has definitely considered the option of taking that football program down there and putting them on the map,” Dave Paulus said. “I wouldn’t say that he’s definitely playing, but he hasn’t ruled it out either.”

Playing two sports at Paulus’ level requires a tremendous amount of resilience. Nonetheless, Paulus handles it with aplomb, despite admitting that the turnaround between football and basketball seasons is quite difficult.

“When I come back, the conditioning is always the problem for me,” Paulus said. “Football shape is definitely different from basketball shape.”

Paulus, nonetheless, is an amazingly tough player. One time, according to Wleklinski, Paulus suffered a badly sprained ankle the day before a sectional semifinal game. Just minutes into the game,Paulus then jammed his hand badly.

Paulus, however, told nobody of the injury, and proceeded to play through the game. His team came up just short despite Paulus’ best effort; he still managed to score over 20 points.

“Coming out of there he could barely walk,” Wleklinski said. “The next day, when I saw his hand, I didn’t even know how he was able to handle the ball.”

Despite the astonishing accomplishment, Paulus remained modest. “It’s the playoffs,” Paulus said. “It’s win or go home, and you’ve got to suck it up.”

For all his ability to hit wide receivers on a dime and deliver picture-perfect assists, though, it is Paulus’ personality, coupled with his leadership and toughness, that sets him apart from almost every other player ever to suit up for Krzyzewski.

Charismatic, passionate and ever humble about his accomplishments, Paulus possesses an innate ability to win.

“Greg is justabsolutely unbelievable in terms ofcharacter, morals, values and the support and care he shows for everybody,” said Theresa Quilty, Paulus’ guidance counselor at CBA. “Everybody in the school loves this kid, from the musicians, to the athletes, to the teachers, to the skateboarders. He treats everyone with respect, and he tries to include everybody.”

Qailty continued by mentioning that Paulus’ strong faith, his ability and willingness to give speeches, and his citizenship help augment his leadership qualities off the court “Probably one of the reasons why high schools in the area like CBA and don’t look down on it is because they like Greg,” said Quilty, referring to local sports rivalries. ‘They really like and respect Greg.”

Dave Paulus proceeded to elaborate on his son Greg’s leadership qualities, elucidating some of the things that have helped his son to build a commanding presence on the court.

“He commands respect because he is the kind of guy who doesn’t change his disposition,” Dave Paulus said. “He remains calm under fire, he knows how to win, and he also has a tremendous confidence that he will find away to get the thing they’re trying to get accomplished done.”

Paulus does not like talking about his leadership. He did, however, offer insight as to why he is so successful in rallying his troops. Tm just trying to win games,” he said. “I think it’s extremely important to know the personnel you have. I Just try to learn and grow friendships with the guys around me so that on the court you can see thatwe’re a family.”

To that end, Paulus maintains regular contact with fellow class of 2005 Duke commitment Josh Mcßoberts, and has contacted Blue Devils target Tyler Hansbrough. Additionally, Paulus speaks with Krzyzewski roughly once a week.

“Greg, really, our whole family thinks the world of Coach K and his staff, and I think that my son is just getting indoctrinated into the program right now,” Dave Paulus said.

“When he comes down there, he will havebuilt arelationship [with Krzyzewski] for two and a halfyears. He will be a complete extension of Coach K on the floor.”

The Blue Devils’ future floor general credits his family for his amazing leadership and resilience.

“I have a little bit of each ofmy brothers, my sister and my parents, too, in my basketball game,” Paulus said. They have a big role in my life on and off the court.”

Additionally, through all the fame and hype attached with his status, Paulus has managed to tuck away his ego, remaining modest about his accomplishments.

“The thing that’s really unique about him is that he’s been able to keep his head on straight,” Dave Paulus added. “He’s been able to really not change at all in terms of the person he is, which I’m really very proud of.”

ELON from page 13 three innings.

Elon’s Evan Erickson reached first on a throwing error by Tim Layden, and Paul Bennett doubled to bring Erickson in for an unearned run. Then, with Bennett on second, Gary Morris homered deep into Latham Park’s short leftfield porch.

In the third inning, Billy Muldowney relieved Thompson —he allowed four more runs in that inning and finished the day with just two strikeouts while walking three walks and scattering five hits—and was able to get out of the inning without further damage. That is, until the next inning, when he gave up just another run to the Phoenix.

Offensively, the Blue Devils struggled, as no one re gistered a multi-hit game against Elon starter Matt Chastain. Elon struck out

six batters and allowed only two earned runs. “[Chastain] did a good job pitching against us,” •Hillier said with a disappointed tone. “But, he wasn’t overpowering, velocity-wise or anything. It was a guy that we should’ve been able to hit off of a little better than we did....

Hopefully, we’ll get out offense going.

We need to start scoring some runs to take the pressure off our pitching, and hopefully we can do that.”

While Layden’s home run in the fifth inning tightened the score to 9-5, the Phoenix would not relent and put up another four-run inning in the sixth.

Though Duke was able to gather seven hits, it could not manufacture the runs that it has been able to recendy.

Without consistency at the plate and on the mound, the Blue Devils could run into trouble with this weekend’s threegame series against Virginia.

Ranked first in the nation and first in enthusiasm for her team, Liz Janangelo expects to join the LPGA Tour after graduating.

JANANGELO from page 13 that will stick with you.”

Before playing at Duke, Janangelo’s only team experience came from her two-year stint as the top player on the boys’ golf team at Conard High School in Connecticut during her freshman and sophomore year. For the second halfof high school, Janangelo practiced on her own while playing in golf tournaments.

Playing with the boys was very different from her experience thus far as a Blue Devil. From six-hour bus rides to getting lost on the way to the Hooters’ Championship in Myrtle Beach this past November, Janangelo said that the team atmosphere is the aspect of collegiate golf she loves the most.

“We sing songs in the van,” Janangelo said.

“Guys don’t sing,” she added, laughing.

For now, the West Hartford, Conn., native, whose career in golfbegan at the age of three because she “liked driving in the golf cart,” holds the No. 1 collegiate ranking in the nation, and is set to lead Duke as it makes a run at its third national championship.

“Because we didn’t win last year, I think we’re hungrier,” Janangelo said. ‘We’re working even harder.”

Duke students are just acting The problem of unity is not exclusively a problem of the black community. Extending beyond “Blackness at Duke,” I think it is fair to say that the entire Duke community as a whole attempts to put on a show.

As one weekend puts a spotlight on the liveliness and cohesion of just one community, it is easy to spotlight the extent of its strength, its weaknesses, its forced smiles, its overdue hellos. But, sadly, is this not the overall culture of our campus?

On cruise control down the BC walkway, we throw our hand up to those we want to acknowledge (usually selected people of our own background), while we dart our eyes or lower our heads to avoid the looks of passing strangers. Or, we’re so involved in the music in our headphones that we drown out the rest of the world. Is this the college scene that I read about in the brochure? Whatever happened to meeting new people, having stimulating con-

versation with someone that you justhappen to sit next to on the bus, orexploring the experiences and ideas of another person? Whatever happened to seeking diversity, whether its identifying with someone of another race, or befriending someone of your own race that does not share your common background? It doesn’t always have to be a color thing. It could be just a people thing.

But, a collection of people is not a community. Community is to have a driving pulse, cohesion, the desire to know of one another.

However, with averted eyes and temporary hi’s this cannot be achieved. It may be picture perfect for the catalogs, but on campus the atmosphere is very evident. We aren’t fooling anyone who is genuine about finding true comradely.

Friends, things need to change.

What, I wondered, were the kids who didn’t want to be doctors, lawyers or bankers, who couldn’t design computer programs, and who actually needed to be paid over the summer supposed to do? Where’s the career advisor for the unemployable, lazy kids with unhelpable, fundamentally crappy resumes? If I didn’t get an internship, would that mean that I was never going to get a real job? Was Duke a waste of $160,000?

Weren’t employers supposed to be throwing me money and job offers, desperate to hire someone from Duke?

Doesn’t it say that in the brochures somewhere?

And just like that, the most unemployable person at this school got an actual internship. The point is, don’t be disheartened. If someone will hire me based on some manipulation of the career center Action Verb list and shoe sales experience, anyone at this school can get hired. And if not, S.A.S. Shoes in Tanger Mall on Long Island will be seeking help, no fancy-schmancy resume needed. All they really require is proficiency with a water cooler. And if you can’t land that job, well, no pun intended (well, maybe slightly intended), but I’d say that’s about $160,000 tuition money down the drain.
