Former President Nan Keohane and her husband Robert, James B. Duke professor of political science, will leave Duke’s faculty to take academic jobs at Princeton University. The Keohanes, who are currently on leave from the University, will resign their positions in 2005 and will take up professorships in Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Robert Keohane, one of Duke’s “celebrity professors” during his tenure here, said although a Princeton offer was on the table as early as last April, he and his wife only finalized their decision

Israel threatens to limit access to mosque by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Israel said Wednesday it would severely limit the access of Muslim worshippers to Jerusalem’s holiest site during the holy month of Ramadan, claiming it could collapse. Three Palestinians were also killed Wednesday in Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip. Angry Muslim clerics dismissed Israel’s claims, saying Arab engineers assured them the A1 Aqsa Mosque compound was stable. They accused Israel of exaggerating the danger in hopes of increasing its control over the site, which is administered by the Islamic Trust.

Al-Zarqawi’s Tawhid and Jihad group has claimed responsibility for beheading several foreign hostages and for car bombings throughout the country, and a videotape posted Wednesday on an Islamic Web site showed militants linked to al-Zarqawi beheading two Iraqis the terror group accused of being spies. “If they do not turn in al-Zarqawi and his group, we will carry out operations in Fallujah,” Prime Minister Ayad Allawi told a meeting of the 100-member interim National Council. “Fallujah, of course, is an honest city, but it has been manipulated by

Returning to the sta se exactly 43 theater years after the first review opening night, the show originally debuted Oct. 14, 1961 at the 46th Street Theatre in New York City, where it enjoyed a successful run for more than three years.

Duke was hot with political fever Wednesday night, as the voices of President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry, DMass., boomed out of dorm room windows and through campus gathering points. The third and final presidential debate sparked opinions, cheers and even laughs from subjective students and pundit professors alike. “I think you probably see Kerry winning more of the issues, but it wasn’t a walkaway like the first one,” Richard O’Dor, a lecturer in public policy studies and specialist in public speaking, said after the debate. “I thought he did well in taking some of the answers and then bringing it back and talking about how it applied to people. Like with the divide in the country, you might see a disproportionate amount of undecided voters looking and saying, ‘Why has this happened? What has Bush done?”’ Political science chair Michael Munger noted that Bush has had a rough six months, but he con-

The number of students who fail to appear for their job interviews at Duke was unusually high this fall, with about 20 percent of some firms’ applicants neglecting to appear or canceling their appointment with insufficient notice. Staff members from the Career Center refer to the students as a “no-shows.” The rise in no-shows has caused some employers to question whether they will continue to come to Duke as part of their recruitment efforts on college campuses, which could result in serious problems in the future for on-campus job recruiting. While student no-shows have always occurred for on-campus interviews, this year marked a substantial jump in the number. Bob Leonard, a recruiting rep-

This considerable rise in student no-shows at Duke has caused recruiters-like Leonard, who normally spend significant time and resources to come to Duke, to consider avoiding the University if this problem becomes a trend. ‘They have expectations about what to expect from Duke students,” said Kara Lombardi, associate director for counseling and programs at the Career Center. “If recruiters come and are disappointed SEE INTERVIEWS ON PAGE 10

pandemic action plan by

Steve Veres

THE CHRONICLE

Bracing for an “overdue,” “inevitable” influenza pandemic, officials at the North Carolina Division of Public Health released a plan earlier this month outlining the structure of the state’s vaccination and control response. Experts warn that the next influenza pandemic could cripple the national health care system and kill up to 7,000 people in North Carolina and 800,000 in the United States—an increase of 764,000 deaths nationwide over a normal year’s flu season. The plan, which state officials drafted after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered each state to create response policies, breaks down the different phases of the mass infection and lays out actions to be taken to better contain the virus. The plan assumes that no vaccines would be available until three to six months after the first reported infections and the drugs will be rationed to people most at risk for complications. At the most extreme level, officials could institute a state-wide “snow-day” in which schools, public transportation and businesses would be closed—setting up a basic quarantine. “If it looked like the mortality rate was high, this type of system would be effective to stop the spread,” said Dr. Kristina Simeonsson, chair of the pandemic influenza response plan committee and an epidemiologist with the North Carolina Division of Public Health. Simeonsson said North Carolina is fairly middle of the pack with regard to influenza pandemic preparations. “I read some other states’ plans and I feel in terms of number of experts and issues taken into account, we have a very good plan.

Duke by sophomore Shadee Malaklou, Tuysuz wanted to make sure she got a chance to talk with someone about the emotional messages put out by both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian groups on campus. Malaklou, who is a columnist for The Chronicle, posted a variety of messages in opposition to the display of the skeletal remains of bus No. 19, which was the target of a suicide bomber in Israel earlier this year. “Zionism=ethnic cleansing” read one sign. Another said the Palestine Solidarity Conference pitted Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, the Freeman Center for Jewish Life and a variety of othercampus groups against Hiwar, the student group sponsoring the conference. For part of the afternoon, Malaklou stood with her signs, sparking controversy among passersby. But even when she left for class, her signs drew a crowd.

As the conference approaches, other incidents are also escalating tensions on campus. Someone not affiliated with the University sent a phony e-mail message to about 1,700 people in the Duke community Wednesday morning. The note, purportedly from conference organizers, included militant anti-Israeli language and suggested the University condones Palestinian violence. “The Zionists take pride in their money so we plan to hit them where it hurts: in their wallets,” the forged e-mail reads. “Together we can destroy the evil called Israel.” Security officials tracked the message to a Verizon email account in Los Angeles, Calif, but were unaware Wednesday afternoon of who was responsible for the incendiary note. A similar message was sent from an L.A. email account before the PSM conference two years ago at the University of Michigan. Duke officials sent an e-mail discrediting the original mesr sage to the entire campus community Wednesday afternoon. Rann Bar-on, local spokesperson for PSM and a graduate student in mathematics, said the incident was handled efficiently and will not likely stir additional conflict. “We are trying to have a peaceful conference and any violent disruption will be dealt with by the appropriate se-

Birkhead said security for these events will be less extensive than for the PSM events, but DUPD will ensure that they take place safely. “They’re classes, and we don’t normally have security in classes,” Birkhead said. University officials expect about 400 people to attend the conference. About 200 to 300 people have protested at previous years’ conferences. Even though most campus groups and leaders of the local Jewish Federation discouraged demonstrations against the conference, several busloads of people —most of them from national Jewish and Zionist organizations —will descend upon the University to oppose PSM’s principles.

The Duke University Police Department is coordinating whatever way possible.

broader focus, Nevins said, because complex computational methods are required to analyze the data sets generated by genomic analysis of the pathways. ‘The whole field of cancer genomics is very involved with computational statistical methods,” West said. “It involves producing models to help in terms of understanding and hopefully predicting cancer growth.” Long term, this statistical research hopes to document a correlation between the genomic characteristics of the pathways and the severity of the disease in order to discover what genomic traits lead to milder or more treatable forms of cancer. Ideally, these breakthroughs will lead to tailor-made cancer therapy based on individual genomic makeup.

“The two goals are to develop large-scale... studies,” West said. “And then to apply that knowledge to the individual.... It’s all part of a big feedback loop from the basic science to the clinical and back.” Nevins agreed that understanding the genome of the pathways can lead to a greater understanding of the outcomes of the disease. “Cancer outcomes are all about the fact that different types of cancer develop because of differences in the pathways,” he said. Nevins said the funds will be primarily used to maintain and perhaps augment the project’s staff of roughly 3Q employees. The rest will be spent on infrastructure and materials for the project.

The student performers’ dedication to the production of this musical is also readily apparent. “You’re talking to a bunch of kids who give up fall break, who give up sleep. I know kids in Hoof ’n’ Horn who haven’t eaten in, like, forever,” said sophomore Emily Schmidt, the show’s director. “It’s been our heart and soul for the past few weeks.” The overwhelming time commitment involved in producing the musical, however, has worn out a number of the students—many of whom are also interning with the Broadway show “Litde Women,” which is currendy in development at Duke. ‘The biggest challenge we faced was probably the double involvement of cast members in the show.... A lot of people are just stretched really far,” said junior Jacqueline Langheim, who plays the role of Hedy. Another challenge that the students faced was the lack of tap dancers. The core of our cast is not tap dancers, and it’s a pretty classic tap-dancing show,” said choreographer Lisa Kopitsky, a junior. Freshman Shaun Dozier, who plays the role of Ovington, gives some practical advice for those still deciding whether or not to see “How to Succeed:” “Ifyou’re looking for something to have a good time at, then come. It’s a comedy, so if you’re looking for something big and dramatic, you won’t find that here.... Go see ‘Little Women.’” The Devil Grins” was Hoof ‘n’ Horn’s first production in 1936, and in January they will produce “Bat Boy.” Until then, settle in for “How to Succeed,” with its full dose of romance, comedy and satire—and the evident fruits of hard labor.

Her words—or maybe just her tone of voice—lulled a crowd of people to her nest of neon posterboard signs that read “I want to talk without bias” and “Corpses are sacred, not to be used for propaganda.” Yosi Oldak, a graduate student in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences who helped bring bus No. 19 to Duke, joined her on the grass for much of the afternoon. With his white yarmulke perched on the back of his head, he seemed an unlikely companion for Tuysuz, who vocally supported the PSM conference and railed against the sensationalism of the displays on the quad. “I would never have thought that I could engage in dialogue with anyone who was here to protest the bus,” Oldak said. But he did for several hours. The two activists held court as students attracted by Malaklou’s signs and the bus shell gathered. Spontaneous discussions flowed. Goldberg admitted that all the talking was a phenomenon new to Duke this year. “But no one was out here doing this last year,” he said as he sneered slightly

REACTION from page 3 the president’s tactic of targeting his conservative base to set what political science graduate student Brendan Nyhan called the underlying “narrative that comes out of these debates.” But the focus of the discussion eventually returned to the importance of 18- to 24year-old voters. “I think lots of students, especially here at Duke, when we do talk about issues like gay marriage and abortion... I think it’s really important that these issues not get lost in the debates,” said senior Evan Burness, a member of Duke Democrats and co-president of Duke for Rep. David Price, D-N.C. “It’s very important for all of us that we all do as much as we can to look at what issues matter to us and not just what the candidates are choosing.”

INTERVIEWS

While there were plenty of jeers from among the more than 200 studentswho remained in Griffith for the debate when Kerry explained his foreign policy plan in the beginning of the domestic-based showdown, the accompanying cheers for Bush’s sound bites dwindled as the questions shifted toward social policy. Junior Tierney Ahrold whittled away at her Japanese homework among a cluster of students plopped on couches in the Blue Devil Beanery as she listened for segments dealing with civil rights. After tuning in to those exchanges, she said she was “now willing to condemn” Bush for his conservative positions. “I wish he could hearwhat he sounds like to someone else,” she said of the president’s take on her key issues. “Nothing comes out of his mouth that makes any intuitive, emotional sense.” The approximately 50 students gathered

that they’ve wasted their time, they may not come back.” Yolander Albert, associate director of employer reladons at the Career Center, wrote an e-mail directed to juniors and seniors Sept. 30, warning them of the growing problem and encouraging awareness of Duke’s policy for interview noshows. She described the situation as “unprofessional and not expected from Duke students.” Recruiter frustration at the rise of student no-shows was made especially clear this year to Duke’s Career Center. ‘Traditionally, we have never experienced the amount of negative feedback from recruiters that we received this year,” Albert said. “It is a poor reflection on students at Duke because it gives the impression that Duke students do not take the interview process seriously.” Some students feel that they do not have enough time to commit to all their interviews. “Students get wrapped up in their own bubble with on campus activities and lose a sense of the bigger picture,” junior James Chiang said. Another reason for student no-shows seems to be the recovering economy, which has made students more selective about company choices and less concerned about

to watch the debate in the Great Hall as part

of West Campus graduate assistants’ ongoing One Sweet Vote program were more attentive on the whole. Giggles at both Bush and Kerry were sprinkled among otherwise quiet consideration of social and domestic issues concerning young Americans, though many hoped for more specific responses. “In an ideal world they’d address social issues, but in this political spectrum they have to play to the middle, so they just appeal to the lowest common denominator,” said senior Andrew Herbert, a member ofDuke for Kerry. Back at Griffith, debate moderator Bob Schieffer’s question for Bush and Kerry about affirmative action prompted an ominous “oooh” from the crowd. “I think Bush completely ignored and neglected the question and Kerry took a more direct approach,” said sophomore Joiselle Cunningham. She added that the problem of an

meeting their commitments, officials said. Albert said the problem can be greatly reduced if students use the Career Center to work out time conflicts they may have. If a student notices he will be unable to commit to an interview within 48 hours of the appointment, the Career Center can try to work out the situation with the company by changing the time slot or filling in an alternative student. To prevent substantial interview no-shows, the Career Center continues to enforce its on-campus recruiting policies. The Career Center’s no-show policy is enforced if a student does not appear for a scheduled interview or cancels an interview less than 48 hours beforehand. After the first offense, a student will be banned from DukeßlueDevilTrack, a product of Monster.com, which manages job postings and on-campus interview information. Students can only be allowed back into the system after a meeting with the Career Center staff and a written apology to the , company. In cases of a second offense, a student will be banned from all campus interviewing activities indefinitely. Albert noted that he hopes greater awareness of the problem and more use of the Career Center will decrease the number of interview no-shows in the future.

American political divide, is mirrored in class discussion and around Duke. The polarization made some sense to Bill English, a graduate student in political science and former president of the Duke Conservative Union. “You actually got the sense that George Bush is a conservative and John Kerry is a liberal,” he said. ‘That hasn’t come through as of yet, and I think in that sense you had an honest debate that got to the root of the election.” Students like sophomore Scott Liddle, who spent Wednesday evening lying alone in a Craven Quad commons room watching the Red Sox-Yankees game, settled on their choice well before Bush and Kerry’s last clash. “Pretty much I’ve already got my mind made up,” he said. “It’s not that it’s not important or I don’t care, I just don’t think [the debates] are going to change that much. And, come one, it’s Red Sox-Yanks.”

Nate James, who is attempting to make his first NBA roster, tries to blow by a defender during the76ers' exhibition win over the Wizards Tuesday.

Although Nate James graduated in 2001 with a National Championship, he has struggled to mimic the same level of success in his professional career. This past week, however, the former Duke captain found himself back in Cameron Indoor Stadium on a quest to make his first NBA regular season roster. The Philadelphia 76ers signed James to a free agent contract Oct. 4th, and he competed at their training camp in Durham with hopes of making the team. “He’s a talented player, he has a great career [ahead],” said Philadelphia head coach Jim O’Brien after the 76ers beat the Washington Wizards in an exhibition game Tuesday night. “He had a strong training camp for us.” Although he might still be a

long shot to make the 76ers squad, scoring only six points in 10 minutes Tuesday, James is taking advice he learned from Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski as a college player to “run your own race.” James has focused on making himself a better player without comparing himself to others. “I’m just looking forward to

improving and trying to make it,” said James, who has played in several international leagues over the

Pedro Martinez has a NEW YORK new “Daddy.” His name is Jon Lieber. While the raucous crowd at Yankee Stadium taunted Martinez with booming chants of “Who's Your Daddy?” Lieber shut down the highest-scoring offense in the

major leagues. A No. 5 starter pitching against a threetime Gy Young BOSTON J_ Award winner, Lieber took a 3 NEW YORK shutout into the eighth- inning. John Olerud backed him with a two-run homer in the sixth off the tiring Martinez, and the Yankees beat the Red Sox 3-1 Wednesday night for a 2-0 lead in their American League Championship Series rematch. ‘These two games were huge, especially tonight,” Yankees manager Joe Torre said. After Orlando Cabrera singled leading off the third inning for Boston’s first hit, Lieber retired 13 straight batters before David Ortiz singled in the seventh. Lieber needed just 45 pitches to get through five innings—Martinez threw 46 in the first two innings alone. Lieber’s biggest thorn was leadoff man Johnny Damon, who kept fouling balls off before lining to center in a 16-pitch at-bat with one out in the sixth. “He pounded the strike zone down,” Boston manager Terry Francona said. Boston had seen Lieber recendy. On Sept. 18, he took a no-hit bid against the

serve New York’s opening win Rivera shattered Damon's bat on a foul ball, threw a called third strike past him to escape trouble, then finished the five-hitter for his second straight save and 32nd in postseason play. After a day off, the series resumes Friday at Fenway Park, with Kevin Brown pitching for the Yankees against Bronson Arroyo. Boston headed home unsure of the status of ace Curt Schilling, whose ailing right ankle might prevent him from starting Game 5 if it’s needed. In last year’s series, the teams split the first two games in New York. The pattern this year resembles 1999, when the Yankees won the first two games at home and took the series 4-1. Back on the mound where he had a meltdown in the eighth inning of last year's Game 7, Martinez once again tired against the team that frustrates him most. After a Sept. 24 loss the Yankees at Fenway Park, he uttered the bizarre sentence: “What can I say—just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy. I can’t find away to beat them at this point.” Pitching just a few miles from where Big Daddy and Daddy Warbucks became famous names on Broadway, he dropped to 1-2 against the Yankees in postseason play. During the regular season, Martinez is 10-10 against New York and 172-66 against the rest of baseball. ‘To beat him when he had his stuff like this, it really gives us a lot of confidence,” Torre said.

JAMES from page 13 after his senior season when James participated in summer leagues with both the Washington Wizards and Sacramento Kings, but neither squad invited the undrafted player to its training camp. He was also waived from the Fayetteville, N.C., Patriots of the National Basketball Developmental League before the season began. James decided to take a year off to allow a nagging back injury to heal and give himself the opportunity to strengthen his relationship with family and friends. “I was worried about my health and taking care of that, and listening to my body and what God was trying to tell me, to take time offand to take a break and take care of myself,” James said. “So taking the year off really helped me develop a passion to get back out there to start working to compete. It was a very important part ofmy life.” Following his one-year absence, James played for the Carolinas Basketball League’s Hickory Nutz, earning MVP honors during the 2002-2003 season. “It was a situation where I was given the opportunity to run up and down with some guys,’’James said ofhis CBL days. “So that kind of helped me, propelled me to

Former Blue Devil Casey Sanders joined James on that

The man who became the first player to win five straight ACC regular season titles came full circle Tuesday night, when he dressed in the same locker room he inhabited as a Duke player from 1996-2001. This time, however, he was surrounded by high school idols like Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson and “Big Nasty” Corliss Williamson, as well as perennial All-Star Allen Iverson. “Anybody who ever dribbled a basketball or who had aspirations to play, whether it be going to college and playing there, you want to make a team,” James said. “You’re finally given an opportunity, and it’s kind of like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to pray and work your butt off to get to the other end. And I think that’s what I’m doing now.”

MEN'S SOCCER from page 13 senior goalie Justin Trowbridge notched yet another shutout. “They were defending and countering and still were able to get forward a little bit, but it’s obviously a big problem for them when that happens,” head coach John Rennie said Georgia State’s pressing offense left huge holes in its defense, and Duke poured in three more goals before the match was over. The Blue Devils took advantage of a Georgia State team that, in addition to being down a goal, was also playing short-handed “Whether it was 10 or 11 guys, I think we wore them out and then we got more chances,” Rennie said. “This is not a bad team we were up against.” Danny Kramer, Paul Dudley and Ryan Pascioni scored, the last three goals. Pascioni’s goal was the first of his career, and came just minutes after earned his first collegiate point by assisting on

Dudley’s goal. Scoring was not always easy for Duke, as a gritty Panther defense played tough even as the Blue Devils outshot the Panthers 11 to three in the first half. The ball was in Georgia State’s defensive zone for the majority of the opening period, but Duke could not capitalize because of missed opportunities and poor shooting. ‘We didn’t do much of anything wrong, but shooting was obviously not what we wanted it to be,” Rennie said. Slow starts become a bit of a pattern for the Blue Devils lately. Against North Carolina, Duke fell behind early, but was able to battle back for the victory. A lethargic effort against Virginia Tech dealt the Blue Devils their first loss of the season. A

After a brief non-conference respite to get the Blue Devils back oh track, the team must now focus its attention on an ACC cellar-dwelling opponent. “Getting those goals at the end of the half really got us back in the groove of things,” Miller said. “Hopefully we can carry that on against N.C.

Chris Dougals dashed for 218 yards in a 41-17 victory over the Yellow Jackets. The Blue Devils are also coming off their best rushing performance of the season, a 191yard day against The Citadel. Roof recently stressed, however, that the Duke offense will remain flexible Saturday. “Some of it is going to be dictated by what we see,” Roof said. The Blue Devil offensive line will be forced to contain Georgia Tech defensive end Eric Henderson Saturday. Henderson, who missed Georgia Tech’s first three games because of injury, was honored as the ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week Monday. The Yellow Jackets recorded seven sacks in their 20-7 road victory over No. 23 Maryland and allowed a mere 81 yards from scrimmage. Henderson, who had two tackles for loss in the game, including 1.5 sacks, recently expressed the frustration he felt last season after losing to the Blue Devils. “The Duke game last year was pitiful,” Henderson said. “We didn’t come out and play the way we expected. I thought we came out flat-footed and they played one of the best games and the score showed. I wouldn’t say that we didn’t take them seriously because we never go into a game where we don’t take an opponent seriously. We just didn’t get the job done. We want to win every game and to get humiliated like that is a heartbreaker.” Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey suffered similar effects. “I remember having a sick feeling,” Gailey said. “I have a hard time rating lowness, but it was a sick feeling. That one hurt more than others. I’ll be honest with you. It did.” Chrissie Gorman contributed to this story.

DEBATE

from page 1

turned his back on the wellness of America, and there is no system and it’s starting fall apart,” Kerry said. Kerry 1 and the president also debated abortion, gay rights, immigration and more in a 90-minute debate that underscored deep differences only 19 campaign days before Election Day. This debate was similar in format to the first—the two rivals standing behind identical lecterns set precisely 10 feet apart. Bush was on belter behavior, though, and there was no grimacing and scowling this time when it was Kerry’s turn to speak. The encounter was also a policy wonk’s dream—a blizzard offacts and figures, references to “budget caps” and other terms meaningful only to Washington insiders. It also turned into a tug of war of sorts over Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican maverick who is Kerry’s Senate friend but Bush’s campaign supporter. Kerry twice invoked his name during the debate, and the second time Bush pounced. “John McCain is for me for president” because of his position on Iraq, he said. Kerry, Bush said, offers a policy of “retreat and defeat.” Taxes was a particular flash point between the president and his challenger. Questioned by moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS, Kerry said he would follow through on his plan to roll back tax cuts for Americans who earn more than $200,000 a year while preserving the reductions that have gone to lower and middle income wage earners. Under Bush, he said, the tax burden of the wealthy has gone down and that of the middle class has gone up. But Bush said Kerry would never stick to his promise, and his election would mean higher taxes for all. He said that in more than 20 years in the to

Senate, Kerr)' had voted to increase taxes 98 times. “When they tried to reduce taxes, he voted against that 127 times,” he added. “.Anybody can play with those votes, everybody knows that,” Kerry' retorted to Bush. “Senator, no one’s playing with your votes,” Bush said. Bush made a similar point when the debate turned to health care. While Kerry said he had a plan to help expand health coverage for those who lack it, Bush said a “plan is not a litany of complaints. And a plan is not to lay out programs you can’t pay for.” The president said Kerry’s proposal would cost the government $7,700 per family. “If every family in America signed up, it would cost the federal government $5 trillion over 10 years,” he said. “It’s an empty promise. It’s called bait-and-switch.” The two men disagreed over abortion, Kerry saying the choice should be “between a woman, God and her doctor.” The president said he wants to promote a “culture of life”, and said Kerry voted “out of the mainstream” when he opposed legislation to ban so-called partial birth abortions. Asked direcdy whether he supports overturning the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that gave women the right to abortion, Bush sidestepped. “What you’re asking me is will I have a litmus test for my judges, and the answer is no,” the president said. The president dodged a bit, too, when the issue of a minimum wage increase came up. Kerry said emphatically that he favors one, and said Republicans in control of Congress had repeatedly blocked Democratic attempts to pass legislation. Bush said he supported “Mitch McConnell’s” bill to raise the minimum wage, without explanation. As a candidate four years ago, Bush said he favored raising a minimum wage so long as individual states were permitted to exclude workers within their borders.

PANDEMIC

first, it is very comprehensive in nature,” she said, adding that North Carolina did not want to have a plan drastically different than those of the other states. Influenza viruses are always slightly changing and adapting—which is why people suffer from the flu each year. A pandemic is caused when an influenza virus undergoes a massive genetic reassortment known as an antigenic shift, which usually occurs in non-human animals, creating a virus against which people have little or no immunity. “It is like if you buy a new pair of pants every year, but all you do is vary the length slightly, people will get accustomed to that type of pants,” said Dr. Dennis Clements, professor of pediatrics and infectious disease at Duke University Medical Center. “But if every once in a while you do buy something completely different, like shorts, people aren’t accustomed to this change.” Influenza pandemics occurred in 1918, when the Spanish flu killed 500.000 people in the United States; in 1957, when the Asian influenza caused 40.000 deaths in the United States; and

RALLY from page 4 president of Duke Democrats, said in a his organization declined to sponsor the rally because of its perceived connections to PSM conference. Fish asserted that Duke Democrats does not oppose the rally’s anti-terrorism motives. “If Duke Democrats endorsed the rally, then we would also be obligated to endorse the PSM, unless we were to take a divisive position on the Israeli-Palestinian issue itself,” the official statement reads. statement

in 1968, when the Hong Kong pandemic killed 30,000 Americans. Simeonsson believes the next pandemic is due. “From what they can tell when looking at historical records, there were three to four pandemics every century,” she said. “Now it’s been over 40 years since the last major one. That makes people sense that every year we go by, it will be closer.” Although the influenza virus’ DNA changes, a pandemic occurs only if the virus can infect humans and if it can be sustained through human-human transmission. The Asian bird flu, a new influenza strain in Asia, has infected humans with deadly results and can even been transferred through person to person contact. Currently, the Asian bird flu has been kept from reaching pandemic proportions by quick public response. Simeonsson also, believes that increased infrastructure for public health since Sept. 11, 2001 has enabled governments to take a more proactive stand in preparing for the inevitable. “I think that the novel viruses in migratory birds in Southeast Asia have really lit a fire, so to speak,” she said. “Rather than having a passive system, governments are taking a more preparedness stance on this.” ‘This was not the role of Duke Democrats.” Duke Democrats has not commented on the PSM conference. The Duke University Police Department said it expect protesters to attend the concert and rally, and the University has increased security accordingly. The concert and rally will be broadcast over the Internet on Hollywood.com and is therefore receiving considerable publicity unrelated to PSM. Thursday marks the first time a concert at Duke will broadcast in this fashion. Kelly Rohrs contributed to this story.

principles set down in last year’s conference yield a troubling contradiction. Although PSM claims that “certain key principles, grounded in, but not limited to, international law, human rights, and basic standards of justice, will be fundamental to a just resolution to the plight of the Palestinians,” it also asserts that PSM’s status as a solidarity movement prevents it from “dictating] the strategies or tactics adopted by the Palestinian people in their struggle for liberation.” Therefore, as local spokesman Rann Bar-On has repeatedly made clear, PSM cannot con-

No amnesty

As

for amnesty

a Resident Advisor on East Campus, I can tell you that one of the hottest topics among students is the alcohol policy—particularly its infamous amnesty clause. At my first hall meeting during freshman orientation, I mentioned the fact that there was such an amnesty clause, but ultimately, I tried to impart that it shouldn’t matter. If you are seriously concerned for the health and life of a friend, whether anyone gets a suspension or probationary sentence should be irrelevant in the face of possible brain damage or death. The amnesty policy doesn’t change what is the right thing to do in any situation; it shouldn’t have any bearing on your actions. Too frequendy, though, the response to this was ‘Yes, yes, we get it.... anyway, tell us about the policy.” Very well. It has been more or less acknowledged (explicidy by students, tacitly by administrators) that drinking is an unavoidable part of American college culture. Since more than half ofall undergraduates are underage and cannot buy or consume alcohol legally, there exists a “forbidden fruit” mentality that often leads to irres onsible drinking. Students are constandy in need of medical attention. The trendy thing for universities to do is «M S adopt an amnesty clause in their alcohol policies: Sanctony manela tions against underage drinking remain, as per state law, but the sanctions are to be waived under extreme circumstances—like hospitalization. The idea is to make it as easy a decision as possible for a student to seek medical attention—so that a student’s judgment isn’t clouded by fear of judicial action. Noble, right? If the principle behind the amnesty policy is so sound, why hasn’t it been extended to other crimes? Let’s take armed robbery as an example. The vast majority ofarmed robbers don’t intend to actually injure their victims. Nevertheless, once in a while things go awry; in times like these, criminals find themselves having committed aggravated assault or murder, not just robbery. In this situation, virtually every armed robber flees the scene of the crime, leaving his victim to suffer and/or die. Imagine a group ofDurham city legislators who come up with a novel idea for minimizing this suffering and death; they institute a policy granting amnesty to armed robbers who bring their unintentionally-shot victims to the emergency room. As an extra incentive, a robber can even be allowed to keep whatever he’d planned to steal in the first place! The principle here is that authority should do all in its power to make a wrong-doer feel safe enough to seek medical attention for someone who needs it. In favor of the “greater good,” can’t we throw accountability to the wind? After all, isn’t armed robbery just as unavoidable a part of impoverished areas as underage drinking is on a college campus—something we need to accept and apply damage control to? The obvious objection to this analogy is that an armed robber deserves punishment in away that an underage drinker doesn’t, since underage drinking is a victimless crime. Is this really true? According to

www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, 1,400 college students die every year from alcohol-related incidents; 500,000 students injure themselves while intoxicated, and 600,000 innocent students are assaulted by students who have been drinking. The majority of these incidents are caused by underage students drinking illegally. It’s nice that the administration wants to pro-

tect the health of students who’ve drunk a little too much, but what about protecting those 600,000 innocent students mentioned above? Aren’t they entitled to live on a campus with sufficient deterrents to underage drinking? How many alcoholic students nationwide are released back into the community each year under an amnesty policy and later contribute to one of the statistics mentionedabove? Too many. Here’s what I would tell you about the amnesty policy: It’s well intentioned but misguided on the part of administrators and provides you with leniency you don’t deserve. Instituting the amnesty policy was like putting a pox-infected Band-Aid on a broken leg.
