Dean of the Faculty ofArts & Sciences William Chafe addresses the Arts & Sciences Council Thursday.

Thursday’s meeting of the Arts & Sciences Council was one of departures and arrivals, as the council said goodbye to current Dean of the Faculty ofArts & Sciences William Chafe and welcomed Dean-elect George McLendon.

Chafe gave his final presentation as the dean to the council, praising the faculty and evaluating its accomplishments during his nine-year tenure. “It’s been an honor to be part of this engaged, energetic and bold enterprise that we call Duke University,” he said, speaking with great admiration.

Chafe credited the faculty for the significant increase in the University’s na-

tional and international reputation during the past decade.

“The faculty is the lifeblood of every great educational institution,” he said.

“You accomplish our most important mission: teaching the next generation. You also [have provided] the research, discovery, and imaginative and creative thinking that has made possible this university’s meteoric rise in the past decade.”

Chafe said he was grateful for the opportunity to work with the broad range of faculty outside ofhis particular field of study.

“I’ll never be a physicist, a psychologist or a scholar in Germanic studies, but what a joy being introduced to this world oflearning that an historian never dreamed of en-

countering,” he said. “It’s been an exciting

journey to discover so much I had not previously even been aware of, and better than that, it has been extraordinarily rewarding to get to know most ofyou as individuals.”

In addition to reflecting on the personal relationships he has enjoyed with faculty members, he discussed his cooperative working relationship with the faculty when responding to the various crises—including budgetary shortfalls that “sharply curtailed” faculty searches, issues ofacademic freedom and the uneasy intellectual climate following the Sept. 11 attacks—that arose during the past decade.

Threatening note found in WEL room by

Andrew Collins THE CHRONICLE

A student in Maxwell House who has been active in educating her peers about sexual assault received a threatening note from an unknown person Thursday night. The note, written on the back of an anti-sexual assault poster she had designed and painted, read: “Your signs will not stop this me.”

The cryptic warning came less than a week after students discovered two graffiti notes in Perkins Library and the West-Edens Link referencing rape. The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said police told her they believe the WEL graffiti and Thursday’s incident are connected but the Perkins scrawling is probably unrelated.

Administrators were officially mute on the issue, as Duke University Police Department Maj. Phyllis Cooper declined to speak with The Chronicle Thursday night and Assistant Dean of Students Deb Loßiondo also declined to comment.

However, the victim said that police have already begun an investigation of Thursday’s note, focusing on

handwriting analysis.

The victim said she had no idea whether the note was intended as a serious threat or not. “I think the fact that someone’s willing to do this shows that something’s fundamentally wrong on our campus,” she said. “If it’s a joke and you don’trealize the impact it has on, in particular, the female population on this campus [and], in particular, a female, that [behavior] needs to be expelled [from] our campus. It shouldn’t be tolerated.”

The perpetrator’s writing material was a sign that the victim had made and left outside her door, which the perpetrator then slipped under her door. The signs had been painted in response to the earlier graffiti in a bathroom in the WEL, where Maxwell House is located. That graffiti read: “I rape more and more.”

Thursday’s incident became the focus of a meeting in the WEL that was originally scheduled to discuss the two prior graffiti incidents. Loßiondo was in attendance.

It is the NCAA Tournament of the bhangra world. Similar to college basketball teams’ dream of reaching the Final Four, bhangra dance teams want to make it to Bhangra Blowout, the national bhangra dancing competition held annually in Washington, D.C. Tomorrow afternoon, Duke Dhamaka will be the Gonzaga of the contest, competing against nine bhangra powerhouses in its first Blowout appearance.

Only'a year and a half old, Duke Dhamaka—which means excitement in sound and beat in Hindi and has the connotation of craziness—is a young team to make it to Blowout. Additionally, although some of the group’s members may have previous dance experience, most of them had never danced bhangra prior to joining Dhamaka.

What they may lack in experience, however, they make up in devotion and enthusiasm.

‘The students are very dedicated and talented. They've got a really good spirit, a competitive spirit, but also have a lot of fun when they're doing it,” said Mekhala Natavar, Dhamaka’s faculty advisor and assistant professor of the practice of Asian and African languages and literature.

“You can really see that camaraderie... inside and outside of the dance space.”

to

D.C.

The tight group dynamics stem not only from the fact they practice so often—twice a week for three hours each time—but also because the members are such good friends.

“We’re basically a group of friends more so than a team. We’re a group of friends that love to dance,” said junior Raj Vasnani, Dhamaka captain and choreographer.

‘That’s the main reason why I think the dancers have such a great time on the team. It’s about displaying our heritage and having fun.”

Bhangra, a traditional farmer’s folk dance that originated in the Punjab region of northern India, combines elements of Hindi, bhangra and hip-hop music as well as traditional dance aspects —such as the wrist flicking and scarf flickering—with a modern hip-hop twist. Although it is not yet considered a mainstream dance genre in India, bhangra is gaining rapid popularity in the United States, especially because it allows dancers to connect to their heritage.

“Like reggae connects people to their roots in Africa, this music links people from America to their roots,” said Sachin Bansal, a junior from Punjab who has studied bhangra academically. “These are westernized South SEE DHAMAKA ON PAGE 10

WASHINGTON Under sharp questioning, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice insisted Thursday that President George W. Bush fully understood the threat of terrorism before Sept. 11, 2001, but no intelligence foretold the deadliest attack ever on American soil.

Disputing criticism that Bush was negligent, Rice told a national commission “there was no silver bullet that could have prevented” the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

hearing turned contentious as Democratic members questioned why alarms didn’t ring when Bush was presented with an Aug. 6, 2001, classified memo entitled “Bin Laden determined to attack inside United States.”

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey, a Democratic member of the commission, described the memo as saying that “the FBI indicates patterns of suspicious activity in the United States consistent with preparations for hijacking.”

Rice dismissed the document as “historical information based on old reporting” and said it did not warn of attacks inside the United States. But she acknowledged it did reveal the FBI had

U.S. faces intense Shiite revolt in Iraq by

James Risen

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON U.S. forces are confronting a broadbased Shiite uprising that goes well beyond supporters of one militant Islamic cleric who has been the focus of U.S. counterinsurgency efforts, U.S. intelligence officials said Wednesday.

That assertion contradicts repeated statements by the George W. Bush administration and U.S. officials in Iraq. , Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that they did not believe the United States is facing a broad-based Shiite insurgency. Administration officials have portrayed Muqtada al-Sadr, a rebel Shiite cleric who is wanted by U.S.

forces, as the catalyst of the rising tide of violence within the Shiite community of Iraq.

But intelligence officials now say that there is evidence that the insurgency goes beyond al-Sadr and his militia, and that a much larger number of Shiites have turned against the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq, even if they are not actively aiding the uprising.

A year ago, many Shiites rejoiced at the U.S. invasion and the toppling of Saddam Hussein, a Sunni who had brutally repressed the Shiites for decades. But U.S. intelligence officials now believe that hatred of the U.S. occupation has spread rapidly among Shiites, and is now so large that al-Sadr and his SEE SHIITE ON PAGE 8

Ranking methods under fire

Skyward Darby THE CHRONICLE

With the popularity of the Atkins diet on the rise, restaurants and grocery stores across the country are introducing new product options to satisfy their carbohydrate-wary customers. Duke University Dining Services, however, will not jump on the low-carb bandwagon and become “Atkins friendly,” Student Health nutritionist Franca Alphin said.

by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

“[Becoming] Atkins-friendly [means] that we would offer a whole line of lowcarb options and that I would not be in support of,” said Alphin, the dietitian for Dining Services. “We would be condoning that lifestyle, and there is not enough research out there to do that. I am not opposed to some low-carb options, but I don’t want to be sending the message that Dining [Services] is supporting an Atkins lifestyle.”

Although some on-campus vendors, such as Subway and Trinity Cafe, already offer low-carb options, Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said they do not indicate an endorsement for the Atkins diet or Atkins brand products.

“Technically, we don’t want to be endorsing any one diet program in particular,” Wulforst said. “If we do that, then we potentially are making recommendations to endorse a product line, [and] we may not have any legal right to do that.”

In addition to these legal considerations, Alphin expressed concerns about the possible student health implications of selling Atkins-suitable products on campus. Living the “Atkins lifestyle” involves maintaining carbohydrate consumption at well below the normal level in order to facilitate weight loss. Alphin believes this eating pattern, while appropriate for obese individuals regularly monitored by medical professionals, could be dangerous for college-age populations lured into the Atkins craze by a false sense of assurance that they will lose weight and be healthier.

“Low-carb diets simply substitute proteins for carbohydrates, but they aren’t necessarily lower calorie,” Alphin said.

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

Duke Dining officials say Atkins brand products will not be coming to the University in the near future.

“People shouldn’t be confused that if

they eat low carb, they’ll lose weight. Carbohydrates are also essential for maintaining energy.... Your brain uses them as a preferred energy source, so if you have a low-carb diet and you are someone who is active and fit, you may be tired, your blood sugar may drop [and] you may not be able to concentrate. Also, [you may not] get enough fruits and vegetables that reduce cancer risks.”

Dr. William Yancy, an assistant professor of medicine and clinical investigator in Atkins diet studies conducted at Duke, pointed to other trends in student-age populations that could increase the risks associated with a low-carb diet.

“College students are more likely to have erratic eating habits,” Yancy said. “[They] are more susceptible to eating disorders like bulimia or binging [and] purging, so they might be more susceptible to the things that come with dramatic weight loss, like electrolyte and vitamin deficiencies.”

He also voiced concern over advertising Atkins or low-carb products in University dining facilities to students who, in general,

are not familiar with the diet’s particulars.

“If you don’t read [Dr. Richard Atkins’] book or have any knowledge of nutrition and you go to the cafeteria and pick out things labeled ‘Atkins-friendly,’ you might eat something else not on the diet as well and harm yourself, or gain weight,” he said.

Despite these considerations, David Randolph, the district manager of ARAMARK, described plans to introduce more low-carb options on campus next year in response to student requests.

“We’re working on a low-carb wrap for the hot and cold wrap stadons in the Great Hall,” Randolph said. “[Low-carb eating] is a trend in food and we’re trying to keep up-with most of the trends.”

Randolph said ARAMARK was also considering offering Atkins brand products, such as candy and other packaged goods.

“I know a lot of people say that the Atkins diet is not a good, healthy diet and that’s true,” he said. “You need carbs, and we’re not endorsing the diet. But for peoSEE ATKINS ON PAGE 11

In a move intended to protest college rankings that are often seen as misleading and unfair, Harvard Business School and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School announced they would no longer fully cooperate with news media creating such rankings. Duke officials, though similarly scornful of mediagenerated college rankings, said they had no plans to follow in Harvard and Wharton’s footsteps.

Harvard and Wharton’s decision was announced Tuesday after the two schools—both of which have ranked among the top five MBA programs in numerous publications for years—refused to release current and former graduate students’ contact information to Business Week for the magazine’s biennial survey of MBA programs. The magazine typically uses the contact information to help measure students’ levels of satisfaction with their education.

‘The Harvard and Wharton action, and news coverage of it, has certainly sparked a lot of discussion over here [at the Fuqua School of Business], but at this time we are not considering doing the same,” said Jim Gray, associate dean of marketing and communications at Fuqua.

Gray said the prevailing view at Fuqua is that the rankings will continue to exist, whether or not the school’s administrators are content with the rankings methodology used by the news media.

“They’re still there, and they’re still credible with some of the people who are thinking of going to business school,” he said. “You have to remember that the real purpose of these rankings is to give prospective students good information on which they can act.”

Only two quadrangle representatives, those from Crowell Quad and Central Campus, were ready to spare some funds, while the rest reported that they had already allocated their money to other projects and were thus unable to help pay for the shirts.

After the quadrangle representatives reported on their financial situations, Pike announced his decision about the T-shirt fee. “What this means is that we’re still short $7,000 for Last Day of Classes, and because we’re short, we’re going to have to sell t-shirts to the student body.... We’re not

Princeton considers rationing number of A’s Justin

Pope by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON College grades have been creeping steadily upward for 30 years, but Princeton University may try to break the trend by rationing the number ofA’s that can be awarded. The proposal has academics wondering already

about the possible impact at other schools.

In what would be the strongest measure to combat grade inflation by an elite university, Princeton faculty will vote later this month on a plan that would require each academic department to award an A-plus, A or A-minus for no more than 35 percent of its grades.

A’s have been awarded 46 percent of the time in recent years at Princeton, up from 31 percent in the mid-19705.

Since 1998, the New Jersey school has been encouraging its faculty to crack down, but marks have kept rising. Finally, Princeton administrators decided that the only solution would be to ration top grades.

“I think it’s tremendously significant that Princeton is doing this, and I do think it will have a ripple effect,” said Bradford Wilson, executive director of the National Association of Scholars, a group that has spoken out against grade inflation, and also a part-time teacher at Princeton.

“What goes on at the premiere institutions sets the standard of quality for every institution in the country.”

So far, most schools that have tried to stem grade inflation have little to show for it. Harvard University, criticized several years ago for allowing more than 90 percent of its

students to graduate with honors, cut back its honors degrees but has not ordered faculty to lower or limit grades.

Grade inflation seems to date to Vietnam War era, when many professors were reluctant to flunk students and consign them to the draft, said David Breneman, dean of the Curry School ofEducation at the University ofVirginia.

Other factors made it snowball, including competition to attract students, and tuition increases that have convinced some students and parents that good grades are an entitlement when they pay as much as $35,000 per year.

Compounding the problem, grade inflation tends to feed on itself; if one department or school is doing it, others are under pressure to follow, or risk disadvantaging their own students when they step into the job market.

Iraq violence complicates presidential campaigns By

Adam Nagourney and Carl Hulse NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON

The surge of violence in Iraq has

created vast political complications for Democrats and Republicans, as President George W. Bush struggled

Wednesday to address doubts about his foreign policy and Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts sought to challenge the conduct of a war he voted for two years ago.

The difficulties facing both men were evident throughout the day. As scenes of violence in Iraq flashed across television screens, Bush was mostly out of sight, on his ranch in,Crawford, Texas, even as some of his conservative supporters began expressing concern that Bush’s Iraq policy could diminish his re-election prospects.

Kerry was in Georgetown, pressing ahead with a longplanned major speech on the issue that he expected to be the centerpiece of the campaign, the economy.

Faced with repeated questions about his own views of the war in a series of interviews he scheduled to promote his economic plan, however, Kerry diverted from his script to offer some of his harshest criticisms of Bush’s Iraq policy to date.

In an interview with American Urban Radio Networks, he described it as “one of the greatest failures of diplomacy and failures of judgment that I have seen in all the time that I’ve been in public life.”

Still, even as he attacked Bush, Kerry was notably vague in saying how he would handle the matter as president. His advisers said he had no plans to offer a policy speech about a war that aides to both Bush and Kerry said they now expect to provide a bloody backdrop for the campaign for months.

“Right now, what I would do differently is, I mean, look, I’m not the president, and I didn’t create this mess so I don’t want to acknowledge a mistake that I haven’t made,” Kerry said on CNN. Kerry ignored two questions shouted to him by reporters, who were invited to observe a meeting he held with economic advisers, about whether he would “take out” Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical Shiite cleric, a pool report said.

“You guys coming?” he said to Robert Rubin, the former treasury secretary under former president Bill Clinton, as he walked away from his questioners.

On Capitol Hill, Republican congressional leaders invoked the violence in Iraq and urged the party to unite behind a White House struggling with a foreign crisis. Their comments underlined the difficulty Kerry and congressional Democrats—especially those who supported Bush in the first place —had in taking the

“This is a democracy, and people have every right to express themselves and to do all that they believe is within their ability to affect the debate,” said Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the Democratic leader.

He said he was deeply troubled by the “character assassination that seems to come from this administration and its allies any time anybody takes an alternative point of view.”

Kerry’s remarks on the deterioration in Iraq reflect the extent to which he has yet to come up with any proposals to distinguish himself from Bush about what might be done there now.

His national security adviser, Rand Beers, said that Kerry would support an increase in troop strength along the lines that the Pentagon is now advocating.

He said Kerry continued to support transferring authority over Iraq from the United States to the United

Nations, though he said that such a goal now appeared unrealistic until the current situation is resolved.

For his part, Kerry urged Bush to abandon his pledge to transfer power to a provisional government July 1, charging that Bush was acting more out of concern with the domestic election calendar than for an orderly transition of power in Iraq.

“I think the June 30th deadline is a fiction and they never should have set an arbitrary deadline, which almost clearly has been affected by the election schedule in the United States of America,” he said on National Public Radio.

One of Kerry’s former rivals for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, who was an unwavering supporter of the war, called on Bush and Kerry to “reach common ground on the issue of sending more troops in Iraq.”

“It’s incumbent upon all Americans to rally around the leadership of this country in times of great crisis in the world when we are the leader of the free world and not to incite the other side,” said Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., even as he acknowledged the administration “underestimated just how difficult and complex the job in Iraq would be.”

In an unwelcome development for the White House, even some prominent conservatives appeared uncomfortable with Bush’s Iraq policy. Bill O’Reilly, the Fox News commentator who had been one of the most vocal supporters of the war, warned that that the situation in Iraq might cost Bush re-election if he did not deal with it promptly. O’Reilly compared the Iraqis to the South Vietnamese their lack of support for the United States.

“If these people won’t help us, we need to get out in an orderly matter,” O’Reilly said on his show Monday evening, repeating the sentiment again Tuesday.

Newt Gingrich, the Georgia Republican and former house speaker, also said he was concerned that the problems in Iraq could hurt the administration unless it made a forceful case to stay there.

“The administration has to win the argument that this is an unavoidable fight,” Gingrich said. “This is painful and this is difficult but we have no choice.”

The focus on Bush’s Iraq policy came the day before the president’s national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, testified on Capitol Hill before a commission investigating whether the White House ignored warnings of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

With Bush facing such an intense challenge to what his aides have described as the pillar of his re-election appeal —foreign policy —Democratic congressional leaders asserted that Republicans were trying to mute opposition by suggesting that attacks on his Iraq policy were unpatriotic.

talked with the president about the exisQaeda cells in the United States after being alerted by Clarke. She said she couldn’t recall.

Rice also was challenged on why Bush’s national security team met 100 times before it took up the subject of terrorism and whether she bore responsibility for the failure of FBI offices nationwide to be alerted about increased threats before Sept. 11.

After swearing to testify truthfully, Rice sat alone at the witness table, her hands laced in front of her on a red tablecloth as she read a prepared statement.

Rice said the United States, as far back as the Reagan administration more than 20 years, ago, mounted an insufficient response to the gathering threat of terrorism. “The terrorists were at war with us but we were not yet at war with them,” Rice said.

Historically, democratic societies have been slow to respond to threats, she said, citing provocations before World Wars I and 11.

“Tragically, for all the language of war spoken before Sept. 11, this country simply was not on a war footing,” Rice said.

Even so, Rice said, Bush “understood the threat and he understood its importance.” She said Bush came into office determined to develop a “more robust” policy to combat al Qaeda and told his national security adviser he was “tired of swatting at flies.”

Picking up on her testimony, Kerrey noted that Bush failed to order a military strike in response to an attack on the destroyer USS Cole that killed 17 U.S. sailors three months before Bush took office.

“Dr. Rice, we only swatted a fly once....

How the hell could [Bush] be tired,” Kerrey asked. That was a reference to a 1998 missile strike Clinton ordered against suspected terror training camps.

Former Gov. Jim Thompson, a Republican commission member from Illinois, also expressed unhappiness about Bush’s failure to respond to the Cole. “Blowing up our destroyers is an act of war against us, is it not?” he asked.

Rice said the administration decided not to respond “tit for tat” with an inadequate response that that would simply embolden terrorists. tence of al

out Carie Lemack, whose mother died on the first hijacked plane to hit the World Trade Center. After three hours in the witness chair, Rice shook hands with a few family members and then reached out to embrace a few more.

With much at stake for the president, Rice appeared composed and unruffled even as members challenged her responses and accused her of filibustering with long answers. Rice carried the responsibility of defending Bush’s credibility on the issue he has made the cornerstone of his re-election campaign.

After hearing from Rice, the commission met with former President Bill Clinton for more than three hours and said he was “forthcoming and responsive to questions.’’ Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are to be questioned soon, also in private.

Rice, recalling a rash of vague warnings over the summer, said, “One of the problems here was there really was nothing that looked like it was going to happen inside the United States.” She said the threats pointed overseas to possible targets in the Persian Gulf, Israel or perhaps the summit in Genoa, Italy, of leaders of industrialized nations.

Former Republican Gov. Thomas Kean of New Jersey, the commission’s chair, agreed later that the attacks probably could not have been stopped.

“There are a number of things that could have been done and had they been done would have been helpful,” he said on PBS’ “NewsHour With Jim Lehrer.” “But in all probability, 9-11 would have happened anyway. Mr. Clarke said the same thing.”

Former Democratic Rep. Lee Hamilton of Indiana, the vice chair, said he wasn’t certain. “But there isn’t any doubt in my mind that there was a lot of warning coming to policy makers,” Hamilton said.

Bush and his wife, Laura, watched the testimony on television from their vacation home in Texas.

Rice was pressed on whether she had

SHIITE from page 2 forces represent just one element of it.

Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence has not yet detected signs of coordination between the Sunni rebellion in Iraq’s heartland and the Shiite insurgency. But intelligence officials say that the Sunni rebellion also goes far beyond former Baathist regime members.

Sunni tribal leaders, particularly in A1 Anbar province, home to Ramadi, the provincial capital, and Fallujah, have turned against the United States and are helping to lead the Sunni rebellion, intelligence officials say.

The result is that the United States is facing two broad-based insurgencies that are now on parallel tracks, both of which are increasingly difficult to contain.

The Bush administration has sought to portray the opposition much more narrowly. In the Sunni insurgency, the White House and Pentagon have focused on the role of former leaders of the Baath Party and Saddam’s government, while in the Shiite rebellion they have focused almost exclusively on the role of al-Sadr.

Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon that the fighting in Iraq was just the work of “thugs, gangs and terrorists,” and was not a popular uprising. Myers added that “it’s not a Shiite uprising. Sadr has a very small following.” According to some experts on Iraq’s Shiite Muslims, the uprising has spread to many Shiites who are not followers of the cleric al-Sadr.

‘There is a general mood of anti-Americanism among the people in the streets,” said Ghassan al-Attiyah, executive director of the Iraq Foundation for Development and Democracy in Baghdad.

‘They identify with Sadr not because they believe in him but because they have their own grievances.”

While they share the broader anger in Iraq over the lack of jobs and security, many Shiites suspect that the handover of sovereignty from the occupying powers to Iraqi politicians on June 30 would bypass their interests, al-Attiyah said.

With his offensive, al-Sadr has “hijacked the political process,” he said.

As a result, more moderate Shiite clerics and politicians risk going against public

opinion if they come out too strongly against the rebellious young cleric.

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani is an aging cleric venerated for his teachings, while al-Sadr is a youthful rabblerouser, with little clerical standing. This week, al-Sistani issued a statement supporting al-Sadr’s decision to act against the Americans, but emphasizing the need for a peaceful solution. In this, the older man seemed to be marking out a position that allowed him to associate with the tide of Shiite popular feelings, while allowing alSadr, for whom he is said to harbor a personal contempt, to risk his militia—and his life—in a showdown with the Americans.

While al-Sadr’s militiamen prepared for battle, all was quiet at the Kufa headquarters of a rival militia that has helped sustain al-Sadr’s political influence—the Badr Brigade. Nominally controlled by another Shiite political organization, the Supreme Council for the Islamic revolution in Iraq, the Badr Brigade has generally been seen as underpinning al-Sistani’s authority.

Although anti-Americanism is hardly universal among Shiites, an anti-American mood has been building for months.

At the Grand Mosque in Kufa, where alSadr took refuge as his militiamen were seizing control of the city Sunday, a deep vein of it feeds off every rumor. At night, as they torch gasoline-soaked tires to light checkpoints guarding the approaches to the mosque, the militiamen speak of America planning to uproot Islam in Iraq, to steal its oil, to deny Shiites a voice in the country’s future governance, even to bring back Saddam.

In the Shiite-dominated areas of Iraq, some Pentagon officials and other government officials believe that Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Shiite extremist group, is now playing a key role in the Shiite insurgency. Some officials said that the Islamic Jihad Organization, a terrorist group closely affiliated with Hezbollah, has established offices in Iraq, and that Iran is behind much of the violence. CIA officials disagree, however, and say they have not yet seen evidence that Hezbollah has joined forces with Iraqi Shiites. Some intelligence officials believe that the Pentagon has been eager to link Hezbollah to the violence in Iraq in order to link the Iranian regime more closely to anti-American terrorism.

In terms of diversity, Chafe highlighted the increased level of diversity among the student body, the greater number of female faculty members in the natural sciences and the nearly doubled rate of black professors at the University. Despite the increased diversity, Chafe stressed that the University still has ground to cover in order “to make diversity a reality... rather than just a demographic statistic.”

The clarification allows for regularly scheduled exams, although it does not allow these exams to replace a final exam, which must be administered after reading period.

The council first debated the original resolution passed by the Engineering Council, which included a ban on “cumulative exams” during the final week ofclasses. Some professors, notably in the natural sciences, said that all their exams were cumulative, not just final exams.

Not only the members are having trouble quelling their nervousness and excitement—Natavar, who has judged numerous bhangra competitions, said she is too.

However, she has complete confidence in the team’s ability this weekend.

“I can barely eat when I think about it.... We're really excited,” she said. “When I saw them dance in the competition in Durham, my heart was palpitating and my hair was standing on end because I [saw] perfection. I don’t think it’s artificial—l can say with 100 percent commitment that these guys are the best. I have a good feeling about them winning.”

Although the accomplishment of qualifying for Blowout is huge in itself—the team tried last year but did not make it—and winning the competition would make this success even sweeter, team members do not think they will lose any motivation after this weekend, whatever the outcome may be.

“The pride associated with being the best of the best would motivate us to keep doing what we’re good at,” Vasnani said. “But the purpose of creating this team is not to go out and win and get prizes. We created this because 16 of us could put together a great dance in an organized fashion that we could be proud of.”

RANKINGS

from page 3

David Lampe, a Harvard spokesperson, told The Chronicle of Higher Education that the business school’s decision was not meant to limit the information available to prospective students. “Our interest is not in restricting information, but in improving the usefulness and transparency of that information,” he said. ‘The media haven’t paid particular attention to the rigor of their method or the real needs of the students.”

Both Harvard and Wharton will continue to provide basic data, like class size, to news media.

Discussions about college rankings are by no means limited to the nation’s business schools. Christoph Guttentag, Duke’s director 6f undergraduate admissions, said he has long been concerned about the rankings systems used by popular news media.

“Rankings are inappropriately reductive in the sense that they take these large, complex, multifaceted, outstanding institutions and reduce all of those qualities to a single number that eliminates any sense of richness of an institution,” Guttentag

said. “They appear to be objective when in fact they’re not.”

One of the biggest methodological flaws in current college rankings systems, he added, was that the organizations that publish the rankings determine for themselves which factors matter and how much weight each factor is given.

“I have thought for a long time that companies like U.S. News and World Report would do everyone a service by allowing students to create their own rankings, by allowing each student to weight each factor whichever way they wanted to,” Guttentag said. “I’m not saying the information is inaccurate, but what the organization thinks counts does not necessarily matter to individual students at all.”

Karen Kemp, senior public relations specialist for the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, said administrators at Sanford have thought long and hard about effective ways to encourage organizations that rank schools to rethink their methods. Sanford administrators have enlisted the support of professional groups like the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management and the National Association of Schools of

“Healthy eating can be achieved without having to rely on those types of products,” Alphin said. “Students who wish to eat low-carb can do so without special products.”

Both Alphin and Yancy listed other, “healthy” ways to cut back on carbs, like eating more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein while consuming less processed “simple sugars” found in most candies and desserts. Wulforst noted that offering students the

Kemp noted that no one at Sanford has suggested the school withhold information like Harvard and Wharton.

“We’ve used what you might call other channels to communicate about our desire to see these numbers looked at closely,” she said. “Frankly, it hasn’t had much effect. U.S. News and World Report this year did their rankings the same way they did them in 2001.”

Guttentag noted that there is some merit in the rankings produced by news media, despite the methodological flaws in the ranking systems.

“In compiling in one place the public information that allows people to compare one institution against another on the basis of objective information, I don’t think we can fault a magazine for that,” he said, noting that students and their families are often overwhelmed by the surfeit of data available on each school.

Kemp added that rankings keep schools on their toes.

“It’s not up to us to tell students what to eat, it’s up to us to have a balanced menu that students can make intelligent choices with,” he said. “We always try to have healthy options.”

The future ofAtkins brand products and other low-carb offerings at Duke has yet to be decided. Alphin, however, believes the Atkins diet will prove unpopular in the long run.

“To me it’s just one other trend, and I’ve been around to see a lot of trends,” she said. “We watched the whole fat-free thing take off, and now we have an obesity epidemic. [The Atkins diet] is just one more trend, one more attempt to address eating behaviors and changing our behavior to address that epidemic... but I don’t think this will be successful.”

strive for excellence,” she said. “We would do that anyway, but it doesn’t hurt to have an external reminder that it is important for us to be constantly evaluating the effectiveness of our programs and the quality of teaching and research that happens in those programs.”

In a statement released online in response to Harvard and Wharton’s decision, Business Week said its biennial rankings help students make informed decisions by providing objective, unfiltered information about each school. “[W]e believe prospective MBAs, current students and alumni have a strong need for the independent information gleaned from our surveys —including crucial details about student experience from those who have just completed the degree,” the statement read. ‘Just as investors today are clamoring for more transparency on the part of companies, so should students expect a similar degree of openness and cooperation from the very schools that nurture new business leaders.”

The magazine noted that it will continue with its survey for the 2004 MBA rankings, which will be published next fall.

Following the incident, the victim said she removed all the anti-sexual assault signs she had hung around the WEL because of fear and in order to keep other students out of danger. She added she would be much less public if she wanted to spread sexual assault awareness in the future.

The victim said she hoped the perpetrator would be found and punished severely. “He should be charged; he should be expelled completely from this school,” she said. “It’s ridiculous, it’s beyond a middle school joke—l mean it’s sick. We’re held to a standard at this school, and it’s something that shouldn’tjust include academics.

It should include maturity. People like that do not belong at this school.”

Coming off a close loss to No. 17 East Carolina—the baseball team’s fifth in a row—the Blue Devils (15-18, 3-6 in ACC) will take on a struggling Wake Forest team (11-18, 1-8) in a three-game series this weekend. The Demon Deacons, who most recently fell to UNC Greensboro 12-4, are also looking to snap their 10game losing streak this weekend. With two teams looking to turn around their

Wake Forest, the ACC Champions in 2001, has found itself at the bottom of conference standings. Though the Demon Deacons faced the ACC powerhouses early this season —Clemson, North Carolina and Georgia Tech—the team has not found much success. The team is batting .287 this season, led by Ben Ingold, who averages .352 with 24 RBIs and three home runs. - Though

Wake Forest has lost its last 10 games, Nick Blue has been hot at the plate, averaging .407 with four stolen bases. Blue brings to Durham a seven-game hitting streak, his personal season-high.

Nonetheless, the Demon Deacons have not been able to manufacture many runs. In its last four games, Wake Forest as been outscored by over 20 runs against UNC Greensboro and North

The Blue Devils’ season thus far has been one marked by disappointing defeat but also uplifting success.

After closing out the fall season with a monumental win at Stanford, Duke began the spring by placing 14th and 16th in its first two events.

“The main thing is that we got off to a slow start during the first few tournaments because of a poor winter,” head coach Rod Myers said. “We didn’t have much time to practice.”

But as the weather began to warm, so did the Blue Devils.

During the first weeks of the spring, Duke traveled to Georgia and played in both the Schenkel/EZ Go Invitational and the Cleveland/Augusta State Invitational. After each tournament, the Blue Devils returned home not only with top-five finishes, but also with renewed confidence.

“We have beaten a lot of top-10 teams these last few weeks,” Myers said. “We feel like we are playing at the top of our games.”

This newfound success has been supplemented by the good news that thir star player, sophomore Ryan Blaum, will hopefully return to the line-up this week after missing the entire spring with a hip fracture. The consensus around the team, with Blaum back and sophomores Nathan Smith and Alex Wilson having stepped up in his absence, is that the Blue Devils can compete with anyone.

“When we get Ryan back, there is no doubtabout it,” Smith said. “We are one of the top-three teams in the nation.”

GATORS CHOMP DUKE by

Jake Poses

THE CHRONICLE

When the match was over, the scoreboard didn’t indicate it, but the women’s tennis team hung tough with the No. 2 Florida Gators (18-0) for four long hours yesterday. Unfortunately for No. 4 Duke (16-2), an inability to pull out close singles matches resulted in a 6-1 loss Thursday at the Ambler Tennis Stadium.

‘We definitely had opportunities to win,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “And we definitely had opportunities, we were in every match. There was not one match that we were not in. If we just could have gotten over the hump of one of those...”

Singles action started well for the Blue Devils, as Amanda Johnson, ranked ninth nationally, quickly dispatched the nation’s No. 1 player, Alexis Gordon.

“I have beaten her before, so I really wasn’t thinking about the fact that she was Tanked No. 1,” said Johnson, who had never beaten any play-

er No. 1 nationally. “I was think-

ing that how I have played her in the past, how I have beaten her, and I was thinking if I could do that the results would take care of themselves.”

Johnson said after the match that gritty return games against a strong Gordon serve and repeated testing of Gordon’s backhand were the keys to victory. Ashworth said it all came down to her competitiveness.

“Amanda does a really good job of believing in herself,” Ashworth said. “As I have been saying all year, she doesn’t have the greatest serve in the world, she doesn’t have the greatest returns, but she has an unbelievable ability to believe that she can win matches. She is a winner.”

As the men’s lacrosse team wrapped up practice up yesterday, somebody quipped “it’s not who the best team is, it’s who the best team is between 1 and 3 on Saturday.”

Duke fans can only hope that adage holds firm this weekend because Johns Hopkins, the second ranked team in the country, is coming to Durham to play Saturday.

And while Hopkins enters the game with a 6-1 record and a realistic aim ofreturning to the NCAA title game after finishing second in 2003, Duke is in the midst of a three game losing streak after starting the season with a 3-1 record. Should the Blue Devils (44) lose Saturday, their record would fall under .500.

“We are 4-4 right now, and Johns Hopkins is one of the top teams in the country,” Duke head coach Mike Pressler said. “We are just going to try to limit what they do and make it a one or two goal game in the fourth quarter.

It’s the Blue Jays’ first trip to Durham since 1951 after we signed a four-year contract last year. We are just going to try to make the most of it.”

Face off is set for 1 p.m. at Duke’s Koskinen Stadium.

Even though the regular season’s end is in sight and playoff scenarios are starting to enter the lacrosse world’s conversations and message boards, the NCAA tournament could not be further from Duke’s focus at the moment, according to Pressler.

Forget thinking about the playoffs Duke just wants up to play to its ability for an entire game.

After a big win against then-No. 13 Loyola, the Blue Devils lost consecutive 9-8 games at home to North Carolina and Georgetown, and were handled by No. 8 Ohio -

RICHMOND, Va. Jeff Capel to go to the Final Four and relax while hob-knobbing with other coaches and watching the national championship be decided.

Instead, San Antonio for him became a “whirlwind” as he was pursued by media and Auburn and Miami, two major conference programs in search of men’s basketball coaches.

On Monday, Capel said, he flew to Auburn for an on-campus interview and was offered the job at a substantially higher salary than he makes at Virginia Commonwealth.

On Tuesday, he flew to Atlanta and met with officials from Miami.

And on Wednesday, he called VCU athletic director Richard Sander and told him he isn’t going anywhere because he wants to make the Rams program some-

thing special.

“It was an unbelievable honor to be wanted by someone,” Capel said at a news conference Thursday, where supporters greeted him with a standing ovation.

“Even through the whole process when Auburn was talking, in the back of my mind, I knew that this is where I’m supposed to be and this is where I want to be.”

Auburn’s interim president, Ed Richardson, denied Thursday that Capel was offered the Tigers job. The school hired Chattanooga coach Jeff Lebo to ...

replace Cliff Ellis on Thursday, and Richardson said Lebo was the only candidate offered the position.

Capel referred calls about the discrepancy to his attorney, Dennis Coleman.

“The people of Auburn were very professional in their dealings with us,” Coleman told the AP. “An offer was in fact made to Coach. We discussed the salient points in their entirety and at the end of the day, Coach decided not to accept the offer.”

Capel said that decision was difficult in some ways, easy in others because of the show of faith Sander and VCU President Eugene Trani had made by hiring the then-27-year-old with no head coaching experience and just two years as an assistant.

“Basically it came down to my love for this university, my love for my players and my commitment to the two men that believed in me,” Capel said of the decision.

Now 29, Capel remains the youngest head coach in Division I. ■ Capel met with his team just before the news conference, and most of them stood and cheered with Board ofVisitors members and boosters when he entered the room.

“A lot of people were worried,” forward Nick George said. “I had people coming up to me in class saying, ‘Oh, he’s gone. Auburn. SEC. It’s one of the SEE CAPEL ON PAGE 20

Lebo from

AUGUSTA, Ga. Back-to-back birdies brought out that boyish smile in Justin Rose. The loss of his longtime looper

Chattanooga

brought a tear to Tom Watson. A suspect swing made Tiger Woods look as vulnerable as ever.

The Masters had a little bit of everything Thursday, starting with Rose shooting a 5-under 67 to take a two-shot lead, and ending with Woods walking briskly to his car in darkness, 4 over par through 14 holes and not much to say.

“Tm donefor today,” he said. “Thanks.”

Watson’s score was irrelevant. He was on his way to the course when he learned his longtime caddie, Bruce Edwards, died in Florida ofLou Gehrig’s disease.

“I’m relying on his spirit to take care of me,” Watson said.

Augusta National was littered with heartache an 80 by Adam Scott, an 8 on the 15th hole for Vijay Singh, and a double bogey at the end of the day for defending champion Mike Weir.

No sooner had his ball spun back into the pond on the 15th that the siren sounded, and Weir stood in the fairway with his hands on hips, slamming his wedge into the turf.

“It was a weird day,” said Ernie Els, who was 2 under with one hole to play. The 18 players resume the round at 8:45 a.m. Friday.

“What’s very important to me is that we’re going to do this the right way,” said Lebo, whose six-year head coaching career also includes a stint at Tennessee Tech. “It’s going to lake some time. That’s what I’m used to. That’s the way I’ve been trained “I’ve been fortunate to be around good people both playing and coaching, and I know how to do it the right way.”

Auburn is prepared to wait, giving Lebo a seven-year deal worth about $750,000.

THE CHRONICLE

161 FRIDAY, APRIL 6,2004

TENNIS from page 13 The team, however, failed to capitalize on the momentum Johnson provided, and saw its 26-match home winning sneak and 16match overall winning streak come to an end.

The two critical matches were played in the fourth and fifth flights. In both contests, the Duke players lost a pair of close sets. Julia Smith fell to No. 99 Boglarka Berecz 6-4, 7-5 and Saras Arasu was defeated by Lindsay Dawaf 6-4, 7-6.

Arasu and Dawaf engaged in long baseline rallies, and the frustration of being unable to muster winners against her quick opponent was evident on Arasu’s face throughout the match.

Arasu’s loss, after Florida gained an early edge taking the doubles point and the Gators’ Jennifer Magley moved past Jennifer Zika 6-3, 7-5, clinched the team victory for the road squad.

“I think we played that match with the mindset that we could win and they should win, instead of we should win and they could win,” Ashworth said. “And if you look at the scores, that is how it was.”

The third and sixth flight singles matches were both very competitive, and, as was the theme all evening, the Blue Devils failed to win the key points and earn victories. Florida’s Zerene Reyes presented a difficult matchup for hard-hitting

LAX from page 13 State in Columbus last weekend “I don’t think we have played well since the Carolina game,” Pressler said.

“There is all this talk about playoff implications right now, but all we are focusing on is playing 60 minutes of Duke lacrosse, which is something we haven’t done in a while.”

Hopkins, on the other hand, has put itself to a good position to avenge last year’s loss in the NCAA tide game. Holders of the No. 1 or 2 ranking all season, the Blue Jays beat No. 3 Syracuse and No. 6 Princeton 17-5 and 14-5, respectively, last month.

In addition, Hopkins beat Duke 19-6 last year in Baltimore.

There are kinks in the Blue Jays’ pads, however.

Tory Zawacki—the Gator player returned many of Zawacki’s powerful shots, forcing her to go for the lines. Zawacki found success with winners down the line, but Reyes pulled out the match 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.

Like Zawacki, Duke’s Kristin Cargill won the first set 6-3, but lost her momentum, as Nina Suvak won both the second and third sets 6-4, 6-4.

“We have done a really good job with those four-all games all year, we have won a lot of close sets, but I think in this one.;.we weren’t aggressive,” Ashworth said about his team’s inability to win close contests Thursday.

Florida swept the three doubles matches, the most competitive of which occurred in the first flight. The pair of Zawacki and Smith were downed by eighth-ranked Gordon and Julie Rotondi in a tiebreaker.

Reyes and Magley took care of Johnson and Arasu 8-4. Berecz and Suvak easily defeated the Duke freshman duo of Cargill and Zika.

“I think we need to work on doubles next time we play them,” Johnson said.

The loss was difficult for the Blue Devils to take, considering the Gators have had Duke’s number of late. In last year’s Final Four, the Florida won 4-1 to move on to the finals.

“It’s frustrating, very frustrating” Johnson said. “I want another shot at them. I hope we get another shot in NCAAs to play them.”

Amanda Johnson was Duke's lone victor during a 6-1 loss to the undefeatedFlorida Gators.

Hopkins lost to thus-far underachieving No. 15 Virginia (3-5), the defending NCAA champions, 9-8 in overtime last week in Charlottesville and needed a last-minute goal to get past No. 5 North Carolina last weekend.

All of which hasn’t gotten past the notice of Pressler and the Blue Devils. Look for Duke to possess the ball and slow the game.

“We are going to try to make it close,” Pressler said. ‘We know we can’t stop all of their big players, but we can hope to contain them.”

Hopkins boasts a balanced scoring attack led by four players with 19 points or more this season. Defensively, they start a freshman, Scott Smith, in goal.

Duke is paced offensively by senior attackman Chris Haunss, who leads with 16 goals, and sophomore Dan Flannery and

freshmen Matt Danowski, who have a combined 52 points this season.

There is also the face-off factor.

Facing-off has been Duke’s biggest weakness all season. A good team hopes to win about 60 percent of them and usually devotes a roster spot or two for faceoff specialists.

Duke has won 44 percent thus far this year. In their 9-8 losses to North Carolina and Georgetown, the Blue Devils won just seven of 40 face-offs.

And bad news for Duke, Hopkins has some of the best, people in the county in the face-off circle.

Blue Jay junior Kyle Harrison, a second-team All-America last year, has won 64 percent of his face-offs this year and widely regarded as one of the fastest players in the country. Harrison is assisted by sophomore Greg Pyser, who actually is

“We just hope we can make it close at the end of the game and get a big win,” Pressler said. “We just want to play a full game to the best of our ability.”

from page 13

Carolina,

A probable cause for the Demon Deacons’ recent failure is its pitching staff. With a team ERA of 6.29, Wake Forest has only one pitcher with an ERA under 4.00: closer Lee Land, who has pitched only 10.1 innings this season and owns a perfect average.

Duke’s pitching, on the other hand, has been its strength this season. Fifteen men deep, the pitching staff has a 3.97 ERA. They have combined for 246 strikeouts and allowed a mere 96 walks. Batters have been averaging .280 against the Blue Devil pitchers and seven have ERAs under 3.00.

“Our pitching has been our strong point this season,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “I know that Wake Forest will come out strong this weekend because they’ve been struggling and they want to win.”

Friday’s probable pitching match up will be Tim Layden

for Duke and Justin Keadle for Wake Forest. Layden, with a 4.62 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 39 innings, also leads the Blue Devils at the plate with 37 RBIs and four home runs. Layden owns a 3-2 record, posting wins over Maryland and Princeton. Keadle, however, in his six starts, has not yet won a decision and has a 0-3 record coming into Friday’s game.

He leads the Demon Deacons with 32 strikeouts, but also has a 6.07 ERA, the highest of Wake Forest’s primary starters.

Saturday’s game will feature Duke’s Zach Schreiber and the Demon Deacons’ Kyle Young on the mound.

Both pitchers are 3-3, but Schreiber has a slight advantage with a 4.56 ERA, compared to Young’s 5.84. The senior righty for the Blue Devils is second on the team in strikeouts with 46, behind Greg Burke, and most recently recorded 10Ks against Virginia while only walking one batter.

Burke, who has found the most success of the starters on the mound this season, will start for Duke on Sunday afternoon. Though his 3-4 record is not as impressive as the other pitchers, Burke leads the starters with a 2.25

ERA and 48 strikeouts. He has pitched two complete games and allowed only one home run in 56 innings.

Opposing batters have not found much success with him, as they average .229 when facing the righty redshirt junior. In his last three conference outings, Burke has allowed only five earned runs in 23.2 innings. The Demon Deacons have not yet decided who will pitch for them on Sunday.

The series will most likely be decided on the mound, as the Blue Devils and Wake Forest are comparable at the plate. Javier Socorro, who looks to extend his nine-game hitting streak, leads Duke, batting .376. Most recently, he posted three hits against ECU, which is ranked in the top 20 teams in the nation. Layden, who is averaging .330, finds himself on base about half the time.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to continue hitting [against Wake Forest],” Socorro said. “We both want to break our losing streaks, so it’ll be good games. Hopefully, we’ll be able to take the momentum we gained from [the ECU game] and get three wins this weekend.”

Please wish Akosua a happy 21st birthday Saturday

201 FRIDAY, MOULD. 2001

GOLF from page 13

CAPEL from page 14

Psyched and hungry for competition, Duke returns to North Carolina this weekend to play in the Intercollegiate at MacGregor Downs Country Club in Raleigh. In pursuit of the spring’s first victory, the Blue Devils will have to battle against a strong field including both of their instate rivals—N.C. State and North Carolina. Fortunately though, both of these teams have not been much of a match for the Blue Devils the last few weeks. In each of the last two events, Duke has defeated both the Tar Heels and the Wolfpack by at least 10 shots.

As the Blue Devils prepare for this year’s final regular season tournament, talk among the players has shifted from how to salvage the season to winning the ACC Championship and competing for the national

top conferences in America.’ But I’ve always believed in him. He’s always kept his word with whatever he said to us and I love him for that. I really appreciate having him around.”

Capel already had been offered a substantial raise

by Sander when he was approached by Auburn, and Sander said Capel’s decision to turn his back on larger opportunities speaks volumes for what he is intent on building in the heart of Richmond.

“I think it makes a strong statement about the commitment VCU has to basketball, but also the commitment Jeff has to the program and to these students,” Sander said.

Capel said he’s better for the experience, and relieved the process is over.

“I think this was a process I needed to go through personally. I’ve never interviewed,” he said. “It’s something that I had to look at for me and my family.

You’re talking some of the numbers they were throw-

championship.

“I want to win Coach Myers an ACC Championship,” Smith said. “I think this is one of the best opportunities he has for a championship, and I would love to come through for him.”

ing out. It was pretty impressive.”

Capel took over last season after one year as an assistant to Mack McCarthy.

Coming off a 21-11 season, the Rams were 18-10 in Capel’s debut season, second in the Colonial Athletic Association, and lost to Drexel in the CAA tournament semifinals.

This season, the Rams won the CAA regular season in their last game, then also won the conference tournament, earning their first NCAA tournament berth since 1996.

Playing in Raleigh, N.C., they lost 79-78 to Wake Forest in the first round.

Lawyers for Capel and the school are still working out some of the particulars, but Capel said he hopes the new contract—for six years—will be finalized Friday.

In the future, Capel said he owes it to himself to listen to other opportunities if the Rams’ success continues to raise his profile, l?ut he’s not looking to leave.

“I plan on being here,” he said. “It’s going to take something that completely knocks my socks off, but I can tell you what—these guys have done that already.”

Get over yourself! There is nothing progressive or “free-thinking” about dancing on the table (which you’ve mentioned more than once—you clearly like to say this), or about your “freedom of [sexual] expression.”

The progressive students on campus-many of them, but not all Christians-are working on rural health care, farmworkers rights, and sweatshop labor; they are mentoring the poor and disadvantaged; they are developing environmental initiatives. They are doing decidedly un-sexy and progressive work on behalf of others.

Your “girls-just-wanna-have-fun” stuff and

mean

progressive

your apparent inability to reflect seriously upon any criticism of this stance —from a Christian or any other point of view—speaks only to your shallow understanding of what it means to be progressive.

By all means, take pleasure in your bodyand your bawdiness—but don’t call this any kind of politics, especially not progressive.

Erica Jong took care of this "free-to-besexy-me" stuff some four decades ago. It’s time you put your energies into something that truly matters.

Melissa Malouf Associate Professor of the Practice

Progressivism isn’t about “us” vs. “them” I do not respond to Ms. Malaklou’s Wednesday, April 7, commentary “It is not finished,” as a committed Christian understandably perturbed by her insinuation that religious individuals are little more than somnambulists blindly following an outdated doctrine. I am not a committed Christian, and I share Malaklou’s concerns about a form of nihilism some aspects of the Christian tradition promulgate (the world being nothing but a veil of tears we eventually pass through... and as such not worth troubling over) along with the prominent role many churches have played in reinforcing and reifying oppressive practices.

However, Malaklou’s self-styled “progressivism” should give every progressive some pause. Her response to the “us” vs. “them” bifurcation between secular and sacred is to simply remove the other from the equation.

Organized religion at Duke creates tension?

For her the answer seems to be doing away with organized religion on campus, a move that could be called progressive only in some alternate universe where tolerance is akin to avoidance.

This “live and leave me alone” attitude promotes deafness and insensitivity... and the last time I checked those were not qualities included in the working definition of

‘progressive’.

Lastly, Malaklou’s claims of “free thinking” are especially suspect. Her faith in “free speech and an open mind” is certainly not sui generis, and may have even occurred to such silly “dead men” as Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King, Jr. Our beliefs, concerns, attitudes and opinions are not drawn smoothly or solely from a free-floating ego.

Instead, they are shot through with the concerns, attitudes, etc. of the social world around us. Malaklpu might want to ponder the attitudes and beliefs of her immediate social circle before she makes any bold claims of being an autonomous free thinker.

Of course, the previous sentence included a wild presumption about someone I have never met. It looks like Malaklou’s “progressivism” is already rubbing off on me.

David Mclvor Graduate Student, Political Science

Christianity embraces individu ality Shadee, I respect your call for individuality, but I think you misunderstand that Christianity or any other religion can restrict you from it.

When you said that you would make a “terrible Christian,” because ofyour views and articles, I couldn’t help but think that you are misunderstanding Christianity completely.

God’s love is not something you can earn by being a “good” Christian, but it is something we already have.

For this reason, Christianity lets me embrace my individuality more than any fashion trend ever will. God’s unconditional love allows me to be confident enough to wear my pearls or my stilettos, knowing that he accepts me for who I am despite what I wear. All he cares about is what is going on in my heart.

I am not perfect by any means, nor is any Christian I know, but God’s acceptance through Christ has allowed me to see and work on my imperfections. It has allowed me to be more accepting and understanding of others’ imperfec-

tions and differences and love them for these.

God doesn’t “thwart” my life in the here and now but enriches every minute ofit.

Whether I am out at Bully’s with friends, studying in the library, getting through the pain of a friend’s death or singing at Campus Crusade for Christ, my life is rich knowing God is with me. Maybe some see my trust as blind, but I have peace, hope, love and inner joy that nothing in this world can give or take away.

I am not trying to press my views upon you or anyone else. I would love for others to know and experience the peace and joy I have, but I know that religion is personal, and I am definitely not one to judge what is right or what is going on in your heart Religion is between your heart and whatever you do or don’t believe. I hope that we, as Duke students, can be open-minded enough to embrace our religious diversity, learning and growing from it.

2. Basketball—The culture begun by

Coach K, the founding of K-Ville, and Cameron make us the envy of college students across the nation. Nothing else brings an entire student population together, and when we win, we do it in style. No riot gear or tear gas needed here. The first college basketball gameday, the adoration of Dick Vitale and ESPN, and the 1992 game against Kentucky have all sealed us as the best program in college basketball. The corresponding social life at sports bars, Monday morning conversations, and organized witty cheers will always be one-of-a-kind.

1. The Student Body The dynamic, charismatic, versatile and non-socially inept character and personalities ofDuke students set us apart from the rest. Smart, hard-working and diligent, while at the same time living true to the creed of studying hard, but sometimes partying even harder make us the best all-around individuals of the nation’s top universities and colleges. The list of positive adjectives describing the array of people I have encountered at Duke may seem trite, but after talking to some students at the other major universities, I know that Duke has the best of all worlds.
