A Duke bus pulls up to the East Campus Bus Stop and disappears into the background. Two students on the bus end their conversation with strangers riding a similarly vanishing bus that is parked on West Campus. The students on one bus communicate with the students on the other bus via an audio installation of microphones and speakers. The buses are wrapped with images of Duke’s East and West Campus Bus Stops and if they line up just right, appear to disappear into

their surroundings This scene is not a science-fiction-like plan for Duke’s future—the buses’ creator, artist and Duke alumnus David Solow, is one of 22 artists brought to campus by Duke seniors Jessica West and Lauren Miller as part of the campus-wide exhibit Road In Sight: Contemporary Art in North Carolina. West and Miller have brought artists from all over the state of North Carolina to Duke as their senior thesis. The two art history majors have used the exhibit as an opportunity to “expand art at Duke beyond the confines of

the East Duke Building,” Miller said.

Solow’s psychedelic buses, exhibited outdoors, are just one part of seven oncampus installations. Michael Salter’s contribution to the show has transformed the usual graffiti of the East Campus bridge into a billboard of advertisementlike images without slogans. At the intersection of Campus Drive and Oregon Street, another artist has incorporated glass artistry into nine glass cones that project mirror images.

University administrators are considering re-evaluating the faculty’s sabbatical policy, which is more flexible than policies at some of Duke’s peer institutions.

George McLendon, dean of the faculty of Arts and Science, said this policy could be reviewed sometime as early as next year.

Currently, tenured faculty members can only leave and get University funding after every six years of service to the University, according to the Faculty Handbook. Unlike other prestigious universities, however, Duke’s policy does not prevent professors from leaving more frequently when they obtain private funding.

“We really don’t know what the best policy is because I don’t think it’s been thought through in quite some time,” McLendon said. “This is one that’s on our docket to look at more carefully.”

Michael Munger, chair of the political science department, said a flexible policy is necessary at a prestigious research university like Duke.

“In order to compete with these other schools in hiring our faculty, we need to have a policy that allows them to do research,” he said.

But a flexible policy could also lead to large numbers of department faculty on leave simultaneously. These exoduses can vary depending on a department’s hiring patterns and how many become eligible to go on leave at the same lime.

Next semester, several departments will have an unusually large number of professors on sabbatical.

This year, Campus Council has already spent $40,000 on Collective Soul and another $13,000 on Weekend Excursion—exceeding the $50,000 budget for the day’s festivities by $3,000.

Rudolph pleads guilty in bombings

by Kristen Wyatt THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA A defiant Eric Rudolph pleaded guilty Wednesday to carrying out the deadly bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and three other attacks, saying he picked the Summer Games to embar-

rass the U.S. government in front of the world “for its abominable sanctioning of abortion on demand.”

“Because I believe that abortion is murder, I also believe that force is justified...in an attempt to stop it,” he said in a statement handed out by his lawyers after he entered his pleas in back-to-back court appearances, first in Birmingham, Ala., in the

morning, then in Atlanta in the afternoon.

Rudolph, 38, worked out a plea bargain that will spare him from the death penalty.

He will get four consecutive life sentences without parole for the four blasts across the South that killed two people and wounded more than 120 others.

Rudolph expressed remorse in his statement only for the Olympic bombing, saying “I do apologize to the victims and their families.” In all the attacks, he said he intended only to target “agents of the Washington government” or “abortionists.”

In the Atlanta courtroom, Rudolph sat stone-faced and answered questions calmly and politely. In Birmingham, though, he

winked toward prosecutors as he entered court, said the government could “just barely” prove its case and admitted his guilt with a hint of pride in his voice.

The statement—a rambling, right-wing manifesto on 11 typewritten, single-spaced pages—marked the first time he offered a motive for the attacks.

“The purpose of the [Olympic] attack on July 27th [1996] was to confound, anger and embarrass the Washington government in the eyes of the world for its abominable sanctioning of abortion on demand,” Rudolph said in the statement, in which he also quotSEE RUDOLPH ON PAGE 7

FDA backs lifting breast implant ban ufacturer, Inamed Corp., failed to satisfy

Lauran Neergaard THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

by

WASHINGTON In a surprising turnaround, federal health advisers Wednesday recommended allowing silicone-gel breast implants to return to the U.S. market after a 13-year ban on most uses of the devices—but only under strict conditions that will limit how easily women can get them.

Mentor Corp. persuaded advisers to the Food and Drug Administration that its newer silicone implants are reasonably safe and more durable than older versions. The 7-2 vote came just one day after a rival man-

lingering concerns about how often the implants break apart and leak inside

women’s bodies.

FDA’s advisers said Wednesday that Mentor had performed more convincing research that the implants only rarely break shortly after they’re inserted—about 1.4 percent over three years—and showed some evidence that they may last as long as 10 years.

They stressed that sales should resume only if Mentor meets some strict conditions; Prospective patients must sign consent forms acknowledging implant risks, includ-

ing that they ultimately may break and require removal or replacement.

Mentor may sell silicone implants only to board-certified plastic surgeons who complete special hands-on training to insert implants in away that minimizes odds of breakage.

Mentor must open a registry to track how patients fare long-term, and it must continue more formal studies to nail down how often implants rupture within 10 years, something no one yet knows.

An Indiana man was shown at gunpoint on a videotape aired by Al-Jazeera television two days after he was kidnapped near Baghdad. Although he urged U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq, the United States said it would maintain its policy of not negotiating with kidnappers.

Bill to end federal estate taxes The House voted to eliminate federal estate taxes in 2010 and beyond, a repeal that Republicans hailed but many Democrats

The bill would end the tax at a cost of

Weekend Excursion to open at LDOC by

Liz Williams

THE CHRONICLE

Duke University Union, Campus Council and the Last Day of Classes Committee are “Moving On” with Weekend Excursion, a North Carolina-based rock band that will open the LDOC festivities April 27. The band has played in a wide array of locations, including Afghanistan, Korea, Bahrain and Duke in 2003.

LDOC organizers noted that the group, whose single “Moving On” brought them local fame in September 1999, was a great choice because of their “upbeat show” and previous experience playing at Duke. “We had a decision to make between having a band with a big name and only

one hit song, and a band that was lesser known but has a great show. We chose the latter,” Campus Council President Anthony Vitarelli said.

Despite the committee’s enthusiastic support for Weekend Excursion, budget issues played a key role in determining this year’s opening band. LDOC Committee Chair Matt Greenfield noted that organizers originally hoped to diversify the event by bringing in some hiphop flavor.

“We were looking for diversity, but unfortunately we weren’t able to procure a hip-hop group that would be good enough,” SEE LDOC ON PAGE 8

Former presidential candidate and senator George McGovern spoke Wednesday in White LecHall. Sponsored by the political science department and the Duke Political Union, McGovern’s speech highlighted his political career and military service. Introduced by Peter Wood, professor of history, McGovern began his speech noting the influence his educadon in history had on his political career. McGovern focused on terrorism and hunger, advocating the fight against global hunger.

McGovern has been deeply involved with organizations fighting world hunger throughout his political career, acting as the permanent U.S. Representative to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and working closely with the World Food Program. Much of his Senate work dealt with the domestic agricultural policy and how it related to the United States’ role in world hunger. He spoke of his military service in World War II and its political influence on his life, crediting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s notion of liberalism as inspiration. Incidentally, he noted that Durham was one of the two counties in North Carolina he carried in the presidential race in 1972, a comment that was met with applause and cheers from the crowd. ture

DSG reviews SOFC bylaws

Regulating at the Regulator

bv Sarah Ball THE CHRONICLE

Executive Vice President Andrew Wisnewski presented a comprehensive revision of the Student Organization Financial Committee’s bylaws at Wednesday night’s Duke Student Government meeting. The reforms, meant to streamline SOFC and codify its budgeting and groupchartering processes, are subject to a vote April 20.

“We’re taking out a lot of the fat, trying to clarify everything,” said Wisnewski, a senior.

SOFC is an affiliate ofDSG and oversees all student organization programming funds.

Among the changes co-authors Wisnewski and Senator Joe Fore, a sophomore, hope to make include lowering SOFC’s required reserves from $25,000 to $lO,OOO, citing the former amount as “excessive.” The changes also include forming an Auditing Subcommittee to monitor student organizations and their use of DSG-budgeted funds.

The chair of the committee will be selected by the Senate next year; other members will be elected in the fall by members ofSOFC. The bylaw revision also strengthens the current policy on funding for political events. DSG is prohibited in its bylaws from allocating money to political rallies or events supporting campaigns; SOFC drew criticism in the fall for funding an event in support of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.

Although DSG determined the event was “educational” rather than partisan, Wisnewski said the reform act will tighten language and be more explicit in order to avoid another “little snafu.” Politically-themed events will still be allowed.

During the week, senators will submit questions and concerns with the bylaw to either Wisnewski or Fore.

In other business: Vice President of Community Interaction Joel Kliksberg, a sophomore, announced Wednesday that he plans to add a new position to DSG. The latest representative will be an advocate for the University to the Durham City Council, helping to facilitate better town-gown reladons.

Kliksberg said his idea is modeled after similar programs at the University of Virginia, the University of Maryland and Wesleyan University. Particularly important in ensuring a similar position’s success, he said, is ramping up involvement over a set period of time.

Acclaimed author Jonathan Safran Foer addressed a

packed house at the Regulator Bookshop Wednesday night. Foer, 27, read from Extremely Loud and Incredibly

Close, his latest novel.

The book’s first chapter introduces Oskar Schell, Foer’s precocious nine-year-old protagonist, who spends his days combing through New York City on “Reconnaissance Expeditions.” When not exploring, Oskar generates fanciful inventions such as skyscrapers that move around stationary elevators and ingestible microphones that amplify heartbeats. He also plays the tambourine, is a CB radio enthusiast and has a brief extracurricular flirtation with jujitsu.

The solemnity with which the boy conducts himself (he carries business cards) prompted laughter from the crowd. But the book’s central event is anything but humorous: Oskar’s father is in the World Trade Center Sept. 11, and the boy listens to messages from his dad as the day’s events progress.

Foer said he wanted to write Extremely Loud because he found the large, geopolitical depictions of Sept. 11 too impersonal. “I wanted to create a context for not viewing 9/11 as a tragedy alone,” he said. As such, the book includes two other extremely loud events: Oskar’s grandfather lived through the firebombing of Dresden, and the boy listens to a tape from the aftermath of HiSEE FOER ON PAGE 7

SABBATICALS from page 1 The Department of Political Science, for example, will have somewhere between 15 and 20 percent of faculty away from the University next semester. The history department will have an even larger number absent—about a third of its professors will be on either fellowship or sabbadcal leave.

But McLendon noted the smaller departments are the ones that are affected the most. He said that when one of the six or seven faculty members in the German

department goes on leave, “it’s a big deal.”

Faculty sabbaticals, McLendon said, are currently arranged at a departmental

level. He said this is important “because they’re the only ones who can coordinate the faculties’ need to study at the forefront of tfieir field with the immediate needs of the students.”

When several faculty members leave a department at the same time, the problem of finding people to fill the vacant spaces arises. Visiting professors and graduate students can sometimes teach a course in a professor’s absence, but McLendon added

the latter is “not normative practice.”

“We sometimes replace faculty with visiting professors, but what we are essentially doing is picking up people who are academic gypsies,” Munger said. “A lot of the time they don’t even have an office, which makes it very hard for the students to get in touch with them.”

Sarah Deustch, chair of the history department, said part of the joy professors find in teaching is being able to share what they have learned and experienced.

Most of the time professors will come back refreshed from the sabbatical and •

eager to engage in the classroom again, she added.

While department chairs agree that there are long-term benefits to sabbaticals, the University’s departments might be hurt by diminished faculty numbers.

McLendon, however, noted that there are advantages for the University when faculty pursue acclaimed opportunities.

“We encourage people to apply for prestigious, competitive fellowships,” McLendon said. “We can’t encourage that and if they get them, say, ‘No, you can’t do that.’”

Junior Ajay Kori, head of the Student Services Committee, announced the winner of last semester’s DSG-run “Cool Idea Contest.” After choosing a winner from 442 submissions, Student Services finalized plans to throw a high school prom party Saturday, April 16.

Though the committee initially planned to place a supersized ice-skating rink on Main West—Kori cited insurance problems as preventing that event from reaching fruition —DSG has already allocated $6,000 for 10 kegs and more than 250 boxes of wine for the prom. Food, alcohol and admission will be free; the event will take place in the Class of 1980’s reunion tent.

“I don’t know about you all, but I’ve had a lot of students tell me they want something like the Brodhead ball again—and they want it done by students,” Kori said to the Senate.

ed the Bible repeatedly, condemned homosexuality and complained that the Olympics promote “global socialism.”

The plan, he said, “was to force the cancellation of the Games, or at least create a state of insecurity to empty the streets around the venues and thereby eat into the vast amounts of money invested.”

He said that because he was unable to obtain the necessary high explosives, he “had to dismiss the unrealistic notion ofknocking down the power grid surrounding Atlanta and consequently pulling the plug on the Olympics for their duration.”

The bomb that exploded at the Olympics was hidden in a knapsack and sent nails and screws ripping through a crowd at Centennial Olympic Park during a concert. A woman was'killed and 111 other people were wounded in what proved to be Rudolph’s most notorious attack, carried out on an international stage amid heavy security.

Rudolph said that he had planned a much larger attack on the Olympics that would have used five bombs over several days. He said he planned to make phone calls well in advance of each explosion, “leaving only uniformed arms-carrying government personnel exposed to

potential injury.” But he said poor planning on his part made that five-bomb plan impossible.

“I had sincerely hoped to achieve these objections without harming innocent civilians,” he said. “There is no excuse for this, and I accept full responsibility for the consequences of using this dangerous tactic.”

He said he blew up four other bombs in a vacant lot in Adanta and left town “with much remorse.”

Rudolph also admitted bombing a gay nightclub in Atlanta, wounding five people, in 1997, and attacking a suburban Adanta office building containing an abortion clinic that same year. Six people were wounded in that attack, which consisted of two blasts, first a small one to draw law officers, then a larger explosion.

In Birmingham earlier in the day, Rudolph pleaded guilty to an abortion clinic bombing there in 1998 that killed an off-duty police officer and maimed a nurse.

With his head tilted back, Rudolph looked down his nose slightly as U.S. District Judge Lynwood Smith in Birmingham asked whether he set off the blast.

“I certainly did, your honor,” Rudolph said.

With his admission, the nurse began weeping in the front row.

“He just sounded so proud of it. That’s what really hurt,” said Emily Lyons, who was nearly killed in the bombing and lost an eye.

FOER from page 4 roshima The book follows Foer’s astronomically successful debut, Everything is Illuminated. In that 2002 release, a protagonist named Jonathan Safran Foer travels to Ukraine and tries to find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Despite the fact that his first book features a protagonist who shares his name, Foer said he feels Extremely Loud is more autobiographical.

“You can’t help it as a writer, you’re writing from your own experience,” he said. “Who is Oskar if not me?” He called this the Philip Roth effect, referring to another prolific American Jewish writer who has made himself a character in his own repertoire.

Still, Foer said he does not purposely model his characters after himself.

“When I write, it's very instinctive,” he said. “My only real test for whether its working is if this character continues to feel real for me.... You tell certain kinds of lies to be able to tell certain kinds of truths.”

Greenfield said Attracting Weekend Excursion to Duke cost between $4,000 and $7,000—by comparison, getting Collective Soul to headline the event took between $25,000 and $35,000. Organizers said they chose Collective Soul over a better-known band because of the group’s energetic live performances.

Among the students interviewed who were familiar with Weekend Excursion, the band’s presence inspired mixed reviews.

“I think. Weekend Excursion is a good opening band. I’m not that sure about Collective Soul

as a headline band, though.

They’re just not that well known anymore and not that popular,” sophomore John McAneny said.

Many students seemed unfamiliar with the groups. Several called themselves “indifferent” to the opening band and were unimpressed with Collecdve Soul.

“I think that people would rather have a good hip-hop band than a pop band that hasn’t had a hit since we were in seventh grade,” junior Lauren PhillipsThoryn said.

Others were content simply with the fact that there would be any music at all on the LDOC. “They’re not two bands that I listen to very frequently, but it’s better than no music, I suppose,” freshman Blake Rose said.

FDA from page 2 plant breaks don’t cause immediate symptoms, patients should

get an MRI scan five years after implant insertion and every two years after that. They should consider having broken implants removed to minimize risk of silicone oozing into the breast, or beyond.

“We are holding it to higher standards than other implants,” said FDA adviser Stephen Li, a Florida medical device-testing expert. “This device has a 30-year history that, at best, is checkered.

Given that history, it behooves us to have a higher standard.”

“Patients can determine whether or not for them it is

worth it

to

have a device that

might need to be replaced within a 10-year period of time,” added Dr. Marilyn Leitch, a cancer surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center who also supported Mentor sales.

But Mentor’s best research tracked implant recipients for only three years so far, said New York dermatologist Dr. Amy Newburger, who opposed allowing widespread sales. “I don’t have the assurance that it’s safe.”

The advisers wresded with the decision and acknowledged it was a surprise given their harsh criticism of competitor Inamed’s bid to sell its own silicone implants.

“They’re two different devices....We didn’t have nearly the questions on this that we had on

the prior application,” Li said.

“Those are the reasons that will let me sleep at night.”

The FDA isn’t bound by its advisers’ recommendations. Just 15 months ago the FDA overruled a recommendation by the panel to bring back gel implants, telling manufacturers it needed better data on durability and silicone leakage before lifting restrictions that since 1992 have limited silicone implants to use only in special research studies.

Implant critics bemoaned the decision.

Blue Devils serve up

shutout by

Alex Fanaroff

THE CHRONICLE

In his 15 years as Duke’s head coach, Jay Lapidus has learned a few things about a Duke-UNC men’s tennis

matchup

PUKE

‘You’re alwaysexpecting them

to peak or play very well against us,” Lapidus said of the Tar Heels. “They always seem to go 4-3 with us.”

Not this time.

The fifth-ranked Blue Devils steamrolled the No. 44 Tar Heels, 7-0, Wednesday afternoon in Chapel Hill. The Blue Devils swept the Tar Heels in three doubles matches and won all six singles contests, dropping just one set all day.

Duke (17-3, 7-1 in the ACC) used its performance in doubles play to spark the dominating victory.

In No. 1 doubles play, Duke’s 43rdranked team ofLudovic Walter and Jason Zimmermann upset UNC’s 41st-ranked duo of GeoffBoyd and Brad Pomeroy in a match that required a tiebreaker.

The No. 2 tandem of Charles Brezac and Jonathan Stokke cruised to victory over their Tar Heel opponents, as did the No. 3 pairing of Stephen AmritraJ and Peter Shults.

“The doubles kind of set the tone,” Lapidus said. “We’re very solid through our whole lineup. We don’t have any real holes in our lineup, so after we win the doubles point, it’s hard to feel like teams can really beat us.”

In singles play, Walter—ranked No. 3

The largest crowd in Koskinen Stadium history was on hand to witness the men's soccer match against UNC Oct. 3, as 6,350 fans cheered for Duke's 3-2 victory.

Lauren

Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE

Every basketball season, Duke fans

spend coundess hours waidng in line to see the team play in Cameron Indoor Stadium, often enduring cold temperatures,

rain and even snow. But when it comes to Duke’s non-revenue sports, most Blue Devil supporters are fair-weather fans in every sense of the word.

Although most Duke teams are competitive with other schools, the majority of

fans only flock

to events

when the team is

playing against a rival, the weather is toler-

able, the date and time of the event are accommodating or the team is doing particularly well.

Highly-ranked Blue Devil programs like men’s and women’s lacrosse, field hockey, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s soccer have yet to see a larger crowd at home than the one that was present during the men’s soccer game against North Carolina in Koskinen Stadium Oct.

3—a contest that boasted all of the prime fan conditions.

“It was on a Sunday evening after a beautiful day,” head coach John Rennie said of the game. “The team was doing extremely well and that’s always a factor for any sport. You play that game on a Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 and you’ll have a different group of people watching.”

Without three projected starters No. 16 Duke (13-8, 4-4 in the ACC) gave No. 13 North Carolina (19-6, 7-1) all it could handle at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center Wednesday. Katie Blaszak, Jennifer Zika and Lauren Archer sat on the sidelines as the Blue Devils faced their archrival.

THE CHRONICLE

FANS from page 9 has attempted to increase fan attendance and interest in non-revenue sports but has been unsuccessful in generating the ideal Blue Devil fan community.

“Overall we do pretty well in getting students, fans, people on campus to the games,” said Bart Smith, director of sports promotions. “But I don’t think we’re satisfied with that.”

Efforts have included a promotion day co-sponsored by adidas during soccer season and T-shirt giveaways at men’s and women’s tennis matches. When the women’s lacrosse team plays Virginia Tech April 22 at Koskinen Stadium, the Athletic Department will host an event during which each player invites a favorite professor or University staff member to the game to be honored in front of the crowd.

Still, limited financial resources restrict the department from promoting non-revenue sports with the pre-game events often held for the basketball and football programs.

“You have to be a little bit more creative with the Olympic sports,” Smith said. “It has to be more grass-roots oriented.”

In addition to the efforts of Smith and his staff, The Inferno, the official student club for Duke Athletics, was formed earlier this year with the goal of increasing student spirit for all Blue Devil teams, not just basketball.

Perhaps because of fan organization brought about by The Inferno and the Athletic Department, attendance figures at non-revenue sporting events are on the rise for several sports—but are still not on the level with those of other schools, coaches have said.

“When we played Maryland in February

Many non-revenue teams play theirhome games in front of empty bleachers. Duke's Athletic Department is trying to drum up support with special promotions. there was a huge crowd,” women’s lacrosse head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “People up there are huge lacrosse fans. We’re starting to get more of that down here and more of a following.”

The field hockey team, the 2004 NCAA runner-up, may also see an increase in its fan following next year when the new Bell Tower Dormitory across from Williams Field on East Campus be-

gins to house students.

“You can look out the window and see the game,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “It can’t hurt. Some people have never seen a field hockey game. Now they will.”

As more fans begin to take advantage of opportunities to support Duke’s nonrevenue teams, the promotions department hopes to continue to encourage at-

tendance at their events and improve upon this year’s numbers, “I’ve been very pleased with all the different pockets of fans coming out for our sports,” Smith said. “We have a lot of different Division I sports, and there’s always a different mix of sports going on. We have a lot of fans, both Duke fans and sports fans in general. There’s a lot to come out for.”

UNC the 4-3 win “She did a great job showing that girl it was going to be a match. It easily could’ve gotten the otherway if Saras didn’t come out from the first point and show that it was going to be a fight,” Ashworth said.

Duke had gotten off to an inauspicious start, dropping the doubles point in only 40 minutes. A ball that passed between Jackie Carleton and Clelia Deltour because of poor communication was symbolic of the Blue Devils’ struggles as they tried to adjust to makeshift pairings with Blaszak and Zika out of the lineup. North Carolina’s two top-25 doubles teams capitalized on Duke’s unfamiliarity, winning their matches 8-1 and 8-0 for the first point of the night.

In the first singles match to finish, Duke’s Tory Zawacki evened the score at one by overpowering her opponent in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3.

The Blue Devils gained their first lead at 2-1 when Parker Coyer won her match by the same score. The seldom-used sophomore made the most of her opportunity, giving Duke a point at a crucial juncture in the match.

“I knew it was a big opportunity, and I knew every win would help, so I really wanted to capitalize on that,” Coyer said.

Deltour was next to finish her match. In a show of poise, Duke’s lone freshman rebounded from her shaky doubles performance to take the first set, 6-3. After her opponent took the second, 6-2, Deltour again regained her composure and won the third, 6-3.

As Deltour’s match concluded, Kristin Cargill stood frustrated on the baseline while both teams’ coaches and two referees debated a controversial line call with Cargill down 5-2 in a second-set tiebreaker. The sophomore, who called the ball out, was overruled and never regained her concentration. She had already lost the first set and her double fault on the final point of the tiebreaker cost her the match.

Carleton simultaneously lost her match, 6-4, 6-3, which leveled the overall score at three and left Arasu on the court with her opponent.

Despite the loss, Ashworth was satisfied with his team’s

TIAN QINZHENG/THE CHRONICLE

After leading 4-0 in the third set, Saras Arasu was broken by No. 31 Aniela Mojzis and went on to lose the match.

W. TENNIS from page 9 higher in our lineup were not there,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said.

Despite playing at No. 2 singles for the first time this season, Arasu—usually the Blue Devils’ fourth or fifth singles player—managed to lead Mojzis for the majority of the first set by using her speed and quickness to combat her opponent’s size advantage. Mojzis kept the score close, however, and forced a tiebreaker which she went on to win.

Arasu then evened the match at a set apiece, taking the second, 6-2. She continued to dominate Mojzis early in the third and seemed to have exhausted the Tar Heel All-American as she took a 4-0 lead.

Just when Arasu appeared to have her match in hand, North Carolina tied the team competition at three, making Arasu’s tilt the deciding point. Mojzis rattled off game after game, finding away to return Arasu’s deep groundstokes until Arasu made a mistake. Down two match points at 5-4, Arasu hit a forehand down the line that missed by an inch and gave

M. TENNIS from page 9 in the nation won in straight sets over the Tar Heels’ (14-8, 4-5) first singles player, Raian Luchici. The victory was his 22nd on the season, which leads the Blue Devils.

Shults, playing in the No. 6 singles spot, continued his impressive run. His match was the first to finish as he dominated his UNC opponent, losing only one game in the process. The senior has not lost a set in seven conference matchups this season and has not dropped more than four games in any of his last four matches.

“I think everything’s been clicking. I’ve started to play really well the last few matches,” Shults said. “For anybody, the more you win, the more confidence you get.”

Stokke, Peter Rodrigues and Brezac earned straight set victories over their UNC opposition at the No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 singles spots, respectively.

Boyd was able to give Amritraj more of a hard time at the No. 3 singles spot, but the Blue Devil junior was able to pull out a three-set victory.

Duke will host Wake Forest Saturday and Virginia Tech Sunday in its final matches before the ACC Tournament March 21 to 24 in Cary, N.C. —

“I thought we competed better than we have. I thought our attitude was better than it’s been, and that it was definitely a step in the right direction,” Ashworth said.

Film explores youths' Preparation Duke senior focuses the lens on the transition from youth to adulthood in Israel. by

Lauren Fischetti recess

expectations, and questions.

If you think back to your transition out of high school most of you will probably remember worrying about the SAT, grades, and where you would continue your studies. Now compare your experience with that of teenagers in Israel. Required to spend a year in the military, high school students choose not which college they will attend, but rather which military group they will join.

Duke senior Maital Guttman has captured this experience in a documentary entitled Mechina: A Preparation. The film follows her cousin and his five friends as they prepare to join the army.

Bom in Israel, Guttman remained there until she was seven years old. Since she still has family in Jerusalem, she returned to Israel every year to visit, but it became difficult to visit when she started college. When she began her project last year, she hadn't been back in over three years.

The idea for a documentary came to Guttman as she began to look for funding for her trip. She applied for and received grants from multiple sources including campus arts, Judaic studies, and international groups “I knew that my cousin would soon be entering the Israeli army and couldn't help but compare his life with mine.” Guttman explained. She thought of the documentary as a way to portray an important story that we don't see in the Unites States. Mechina explores what the transition into the military is like for Israeli teenagers. She captures their fears,

Guttman spent three weeks filming in Israel over the summer and then returned again last January to see her cousin ship out. Although teenagers in Israel are required to join the army, they are allowed to defer their involvement for one year of volunteerism and studying-the program ll *** from which the film draws its name. Guttman joined her cousin and his friends during the end of their year of Mechina.

Having to join the military is especially challenging for the subjects of the film because each is a strong proponent of peace. Her cousin had previously attended Seeds of Peace, a well known camp in Maine where Arab and Israeli teenagers selected by their country's govern- 11| f ment based on ac- I ademic perform- | and ance leadership ability live together, eat together, and participate in summer activities. camp While in Israel, her Guttman, cousin and his friends attended the country's largest peace rally in ten years.

One of Guttman's main motivations for creating this documentary was to show aspects of the story that the media does not portray. In the news, we are only shown images of conflict see MECHINA on page 7

They can't spell but they sure can rock Matt Dearborn recess to his degree in music. However, for this 28-year-old Finn Cohen just wants complete Duke sophomore, finishing is much harder than it may seem. Cohen, the guitarist and lead singer of the Triangle-based budding rock outfit The Nein, began the life of a musician directly after high school and hasn’t looked back since. Cohen has had a colorful academic career, attending UNC, Durham Tech and currently Duke.

The Nein formed in early 2003, after Cohen and drummerRobert Riggers experienced the demise of two other bands.

After high school, Cohen attended UNC briefly, but dropped out after joining White Octave, the pioneering indie group led by ex-Cursive guitarist and then Duke Law student Stephen Pederson.

“White Octave was doing a lot of touring at the time,” Cohen said. “I just wasn't going to commit to going to school while that was going on.

Music has always been my top priority.” .

Chainz. Most of Gold Chainz’ songs were written by Hancock, and Cohen and Hancock’s musical tastes clashed regularly. In the end, however, it was not musical differences but rather family life and distance that eventually drove Hancock to leave the band.

“Line was writing decent music, but it was basically just major chords, Guided By Voices stuff,” Cohen explained. “I was interested in doing things a little bit differently, but everything worked out in the end.

He moved to Raleigh, got engaged and eventually left the band.”

After Hancock’s departure, Cohen took up the frontman position, renamed the group and asked Casey Burns to play bass with the band. The inspiration for the band’s name stems from the Lord of the Rings characters, The Nine. “Finn really liked the idea of naming the band The Nine, but he kind ofmessed up the spelling,” Biggers joked, “Even after we found out we spelled the name wrong, we stuck with it. We even thought it worked better.”

Soon after The Nein formed, they began to test themselves musically, seeing what they were capable of creating. After The Nein self-released two EPs which garnered them substantial local popularity, Cohen applied and was accepted to Duke. “I wanted to finish my education near my house,” he explained. “Duke was the closest school to me, so I figured I’d apply.”

Just one week before Cohen began his first semester at Duke, to Sonic Unyon, an indie Canadian label, which boasts of signing The Nein was signed see NEIN on page 7

Epic Servings

sandbox While the rest of recess was taking in Scorsese and movies about Paralympics at Full Frame, Yoav Lurie shotgunned a couple beers, got in a bus and headed to NASCAR’s Advance Autoparts 500 in Martinville, VA. These are the lessons he learned: Life gets dirty —Martinsville is a short track: short tracks mean more wrecks.

NASCAR’s a festival atmosphere like Woodstock with a wad ofSkoal in its lip.

I was late to the race, so I ate some food a guy left on the hood of his car.

Yokles are friendly —The parking lot always teaming with people and fried food. A middle-aged guy with a green goatee, after shotgunning a beer with me, hands me his bottle of sour apple schnapps. It’s almost noon.

Dress to fit in—NASCAR makes you want to take you clothes off. And the fact that most of the people who go, myself included, are not very good looking, doesn’t stop us from making headgear out of our pants. It was Sunday, so I thought it appropriate to wear my “what would Jesus do” tie. I figured that for a Jewish kid at a NASCAR race, it would be the only thing that kept me from getting crucified One person per Portajohn —I wander off to get away from the loud cars—who would have known they’d be there—and stumble onto a chick who likes my hat. ‘Yeah, they used to be cargo shorts.” She invites me to join her in a Portajohn, but that’s how I got the clap. So I cordially decline.

Wear diapers—The redneck speak for “readmission entrance” is “pass out gate”—the irony is apparendy completely lost on them. So, I stumble through it and lay down next to an entire family that clearly had too much to drink. I wake up sun burnt with a wet stain on my crotch. Yeah, I finally figured out a way to blend in: I peed myself.

Don’t argue with reality l get back to the “action” in time to see Jeff Gordon, who I have now learned is nothing but a pretty boy, tofu eating, hippie from California, spin out Kasey Kahne to take the win.

500 laps to salvation I am left dehydrated and with an inexplicable burn that looks like a radiator cap and tan lines from my preachy tie.

While last year’s box office flop You Got Served may not have been a cinematic masterpiece, it will have forever left its mark on the cultural landscape of our time by bringing into popular parlance the term “serving.” A serving can be something as simple as oneupping a naive classmate or as maniacal as running down that annoying neighborhood pet with your car. In whatever form they take, servings are pretty much always really sweet, as Hollywood has shown us time and again. Here recess provides a short list of our all time favorite film servings. Enjoy.

80s-inspired Elkland joins post-punk scene we dress how we like to dress. It’s all to please ourselves,

Sarah Freeman recess The members ofElkland were just toddlers during the peak of synth-pop. But when middle school came around and the electronic choruses of the ’Bos faded into the past, the upstate New York natives weren’t ready to put away their Joy Electric albums. As their peers listened to grunge rock, they began to experiment with drum machines and by

Initially called Goat Explosion, the group opted for a new name, deciding on Elkland after a small neighboring farm town. “Elkland has a very dark meaning behind it.

Pierce warned.

With a new name and a mounting resume of extensive touring, the band started to attract the attention of major and indie record labels.

“I always had dreams, but I never thought that most of them would come true. When we started getting attention, we were nothing short of surprised,” said Pierce. When they were offered a contract with Columbia Records, Elkland knew that it was an opportunity not to be missed.

With their stunning good looks and magnetic personalities, Elkland is everything that a major label looks for in a band. Each member has his own style: Adam Kessler is all business on the guitar while Joel Tarpin nonchalandy plugs away on the synthesizer and drummer Jesse Pierce Jon’s brother—uses every ounce of his energy to keep the beat at its furious pace. And, of course, there’s Jon with his angelic vocals and dance skills that would make even Billy Idol proud.

Still, the band is a far cry from any commercially prefabricated boy band polluting the Clear Channel-dominated airwaves. “No one is born cool, so all you can do is try, and people who try suck. We play music that we love, and —

Elkland’s five-track EP, Apart, was released at the beginning of February. Featuring a club-ready cover of The Cranberries’ “Salvation” and the infectiously catchy title track, the record gives listeners an idea of what’s in store for the band’s first full-length album Golden.

sizer riffs will be stuck in your head for days.

“Our number one priority is songwriting. We are all about big hook-y choruses. If I write a song that is not memorable, then it is quickly scrapped,” Pierce said.

New songs are always in the works as well as a possible side project between Pierce and Tarpin. The band is opening for ’Bos pop legend Erasure on their sold-out tour, the music video for “Apart” is in rotation on Fuse and the song will be featured on EA Sports’ upcoming FIFA Soccer game.

This one’s just Garbage

Mariah returns

Robert Winterode recess Lead singer Shirley Manson was this close to being the next Kylie Minogue. A literate, “la, lawless version of Minogue at least.

On Garbage’s last LP beautifulgarbage, she sang cheekily in her lilting Scottish brogue about adolescent angst over some of the best electronic riffs constructed to date.

Garbage has always been impossibly clever, producing songs about feminism, conformity and androgyny, and yet this last release, despite the band’s innovative use of obscure influences such as The Ronettes and trip-hop, was an international flop.

Bleed Like Me, their latest release, could be seen as a reaction

Peter Blais recess What’s that, you say? Mariah Carey’s back? Stop, I need space to breathe...

Garbage’s decreasing popular-

ity. It’s the band’s last-ditch effort to recapture their tide as the reigning masters of gloom-pop while the clock’s ticking, the band’s breaking up, the fickle Brit-pop scene’s changing once more, and Manson’s status as a sex symbol is shakier than ever.

This album is a return to form of sorts. Basically, it sounds as if Garbage has thrown away the last 10 years of the group’s development and delivered a carbon-copy of their eponymous and enormously successful debut—albeit with a few things missing. For a band that relies on the traditional power-pop structure, the hooks-to-songs ratio is surprisingly low. Indeed, for the first time in their history, the album is a subdued affair as most of the songs flit by with none of the group’s signature sonic punch.

With strum-heavy, sound-alike guitars replacing the band’s trademark electronic blips, it sounds as if Garbage is stuck in 1992, which makes sense considering that Butch Vig produced some of that period’s seminal bands, including Nirvana, Sonic Youth and The

Smashing Pumpkins.

And while Vig’s production skills are still thriving and Manson’s vocals are still feral, there’s something entirely lacking here.

It’s a dead album from a group with no creative life left.

Travel guide takes brave new angle: Partying Brian McGinn of the trip. Now on opposite coasts, Korvach and Jachman recess harbor wishes of continuing their travels: “I would love to Do you ever find yourself in old Paris, loaded up on break off and see some other parts of the world, not Eucoke, dangling a half-empty botde of scotch out of your rope, but South America, Australia, eventually the Far left hand while scantily dressed French women lick the salty sweat off of your brow? If so, you don’t need Party Europe to create memorable evenings.

If you’re like most of the human race, however, the latest college-student aimed travel guide is going to be a highly useful companion to any time you spend in Europe. The book, researched by two Duke graduates, Jesse Jachman and Michael Korvach, is full of information about fun and social places to go in 14 of Europe’s most populous and touristy destinations.

Party Europe is a book about exactly what it seems to be about: partying in Europe. Korvach calls it a “niche travel guide, meant to supplement Let’s Go or another big guide.” Party Europe isn’t going to please older travelers—it’s directed toward the college crowd.

Written in a different style than most travel books, each review of a bar or club includes comments from one of four fictional characters: Tucker, frat-boy extraordinaire; Adam, drug-addled hippie; Brittney, sorority girl and shopping aficionado or Emma, serious yet social fun-lover.

The personas reflect the most bland and stereotypical of students, but Korvach claims that readers can associate with each the characters on different days.

Korvach and Jachman, who both graduated in 2004, spent 14 weeks traveling through Europe last year, taking notes on various locations. They had a list ofclubsand bars to visit, but Jachman notes, “the best research we did came from [the locals] that we talked to in cities we visited.”

Both former students were quick to point out how lucky they were to have the opportunity to travel Europe on someone else’s dime—and both have fond memories .r by

East,” saysjachman.

The book is focused mainly on clubs and bars, places small to large, from pubs to large raves, and each review goes into pretty significant detail on what to expect in terms of atmosphere, prices and type ofcrowd.

Unfortunately, it’s pretty difficult to take the book with you out for a night on the town—it weighs a hefty two pounds and doesn’t fit in your shirt pocket very easily. It’s a far better idea to just write down a couple of clubs and their locations, then see which one you end up stumbling closest to.

The book’s website,

www.partyearth.com, along with selling copies of Party

Europe, is accepting submis-

sions for researchers for future Party books; there is already a plan to update Party Europe for 2006. If you’re taking off for a semester abroad, or you’re just going to Europe on vacation, you might want to check out Party Europe —unless, of course, you’re too busy with those beautiful French ladies

Authors help white girls find inner shawty by

Sarah Ball

recess For better or for worse, I’ve always felt perfectly comfortable using hip-hop slang in everyday conversation. I believe I described the nap I took during my afternoon lecture yesterday as “crucial—fo’ real.”

Ifyou’ve ever seen the über-preppy pearl studs that are a fixture in my ear lobes, you probably know I’m kidding.

But supposeyou are a fellow white girl without the gumption to utter “fo’ shizzle” in casual banter. Authors Albertina Rizzo and Amanda McCall, in their book Hold My Gold: a White Girl’s Guide to the Hip-Hop World, try to bridge the gap between “Crunktown” and Caucasian awkwardness. So swap your Amstel Light for Hypnotiq, don a Burrrrr-berry bikini or a throwback and stick a fat blunt between your lips. According to the experts, you’ll be mackin’ it with Lil Jon before sunset.

That’s a hefty claim from a skimpy paperback that probably hails from the Barnes & Noble checkout display (right between “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Part IV” and “100 Things You Learned From Your Cat”). In fact, “Hold My Gold” doesn’t quite make it past the kitsch stage. Funny? Sort of. Rizzo and McCall recommend gold spray-paint for all your white-girl jewelry silver Elsa Peretti hearts included. And don’t forget to bling-ify your smile. “If you can’t afford to cap your teeth gold and you have a special event to go to, simply apply gold marker!” they write.

When a book prominently features instructions on becoming Lil’ Kim—three strategically placed bottle caps, string and an optional roll of doublesided tape are apparently all it takes to be Queen of the Obscene—claiming poor taste is probably a moot point. Yet some passages teeter on the brink of being downright, oh-no-she-didn’t offensive.

Show offers a prism of Duke music Slava Petrova recess This Saturday, two weeks before the academic year comes to a close, Duke’s seven premier music ensembles will bring their own seasons to a spectacular close. This grand finale, The Prism Concert, is more than just an aural experience. It is visual, unusual, engulfing. It is a whirlpool of sound as each group will perform one after another, accompanied by lighting and special effects.

The Duke Chorale, the Collegium Musicum, the Djembe and Jazz Ensembles, Opera Workshop, the Symphony Orchestra and the Wind Symphony will all gather in Baldwin Auditorium to perform their most traditional and unique compositions. The concert will feature a variety of styles including Gregorian chants, modern jazz, orchestral works, operatic excerpts and Djembe African drumming. by

One of The Prism Concert’s most distinctive aspects is the fact that the stage is not a solid entity as it would be at a classical concert performance. The balcony, the orchestra pit and the rest of the audience spaces all join together to form a stage.

Transitions between pieces and ensembles are quick, with the lighting and focus changing rapidly.

Such an intense stream of performances makes the show difficult on the players and singers. “We usually have our performances in Duke Chapel or the Nelson Music Room,” director of the Collegium Musicum Kerry McCarthy said. “So, Baldwin Auditorium is new to us.”

Her ensemble was “told to do something about six minutes long and impressive.” The concert’s stringent rules, which apply to most of the performing groups, help create the atmosphere of the concert. There is no applause,

causing the audience’s attention to switch quickly from one performer to the next, from one location in Baldwin to another. This puts additional pressure on the participants, since they have no preliminary time to prepare or adjust, and they must remain highly concentrated and organized throughout the entire one-hour concert.

It is no wonder that even “logistically,” as McCarthy emphasized, “itis very hard to get these seven or eight groups together.” The preparation of the whole concert has required great coordination not only between and within the ensembles but also with the technical crew.

Despite its sophisticated presentation, the overall idea behind the concert is simple: to showcase seven different types ofmusic at Duke—just as white light is dispersed into its seven component colors as it passes through a prism.

New exhibit brings local artists to Duke

road in sight from Chronicle 1

As well as site-specific installations, pieces from the exhibit will be showcased through May 15 in the Center for Documentary Studies, the Allen Building, the Franklin Center and the East Duke Building, home of the art history department. The exhibit’s main site, however, is off campus at the 8,000 square foot Smith warehouse space. These installations are the culmination of a year-long experience for West and Miller.

Last spring they approached Kristine Stiles, their adviser in the art history department, with their desire to bring back a program Stiles had created 15 years ago. In conjunction with the Duke University Museum of Art, Stiles started the curatorial program in order to give students the chance to produce a show instead of writing a paper as their senior thesis. At the time, the program was called SOHO at Duke because students would travel to galleries in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles and pick out pieces to bring back and showcase at Duke. Over the years, the program had fallen into different hands and strayed so far from its original goals that students no longer .even picked out the art themselves.

While Miller and West wanted to bring back the practice of students choosing the pieces of art, they approached the task with a completely different outlook.

“There’s a great tradition of experimental art and innovation in craft in North Carolina, especially in the mountains near Asheville. It’s always talked about in art history classes, but Duke often ignores its own backyard [when bringing contemporary art to

campus],”

West said. As a result, West and Miller decided to focus solely on artists from North Carolina.

With the of closing DUMA last April in preparation for the Ron Rozzelle, St. John in th( opening of the Nasher Museum, both the funding and the space for the project were lost. Stiles told West and Miller that she would work with them if they came up with the funding for the show. The curators immediately started writing proposals for financial support and space. The first person to grant them funding was Duke’s then-President Nan Keohane, and the rest of the administration quickly followed. The project has been extremely well-received by the Duke community.

Once the pair established themselves financially and obtained spaces, Stiles agreed to help them in their quest to Jason, Witherspoon, Smell Spring, 2003 showcase North Carolinian art at Duke.

While they worked at The Whitney in New York last summer, Miller and West sent hundreds ofletters to individualartists asking for slides and submissions. When they returned to Durham last August, Stiles, West and Miller embarked on a three-day road trip visiting artists’ studios, homes and backyards.

The whirl-wind lour of North Carolina’s art world was “a unique

experience,” said West. “It allowed us to interwith artists on such a personal level.”

The road trip was followed by almost daily visits in September and October to studios located closer to campus. Eventually, the duo

act

narrowed their selection down to the best work they could find, including that of DeWaync Barton. Barton, an artist in his 20s, performed SLAM poetry in front of his kinetic machinebased 1 hibit's opening last night and made his debut with Road In Sight. For Barton, his work—which comments on disparities in civil rights and the power of privilege—is part of a greater desire to make a statement.

All of the work in the show is like Barton’s in that it is civically or socially en-

gaged, differentiating it from today’s mostly identity-based and introspective artwork.

mechina and violence. Guttman hopes that Mechina will help people to see Israel beyond die conflict and to realize that the media is not the only reality.

For her cousin and his friends, the experience of joining the military is not about the conflict. It has been about questioning what it means to be a member of the Israeli army, what their behavior in the army should be and how to be a moral soldier.

The story is told through the eyes of the filmmaker, which is significant because this could have been Guttman’s experience had she remained in Israel. “At first I didn't know that I was going to put myself in the film,” Guttman said. “Then I realized that even being behind the camera I am still very much there.”

The creation of the documentary became a personal journey for her, in which she was able to explore what it means to be born in Israel and to move to the United States. While Guttman was not required to join the army—having lived and attended high school in the States—the very process of obtaining her exemption gave her reason to reflect.

When she returned from Israel, Guttman faced the challenge of making something out of over 50 hours of footage. She discovered the Multimedia Project Studio in a lab under Old Chemistry building, which is an unknown gem open to all students for free. She spoke with the director and was able to create an extremely helpful partnership with advanced students.

Guttman hopes that Mechina can become a useful learning tool for the greater '

Duke community. To this end she has scheduled a variety of opportunities for students to see her film. On April 20 Mechina will premiere in Griffith at 7:30p.m. Additionally, the documentary will be shown as part of Israel Day on April 22 in a tent on Main Quad.

Showings have also been organized for every East Campus dorm on April 28 at Bpm on Cable 13. Each will be followed by RA-led discussions in which students can compare their experiences transitioning into college and can also learn about the resources at Duke that many students never use, such as the Multimedia Project Studio.

Additionally, Guttman contacted approximately 60 professors to whose courses the documentary might be relevant. Many have encouraged their students to attend the screening and others have decided to include Mechina in their syllabus for next year.

Guttman's enthusiasm for the project is evident. “Seeing the trailer on the big screen was the coolest thing,” she exclaimed. “I don't know what I'm going to do on the 20th.”

After graduation, Guttman will continue to promote Mechina. She hopes to enter it into film festivals and has been in contact with many groups such as The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and MTV Films. For Guttman, creating and promoting Mechina has served as her own version of service to Israel.

nem Sponge, the Pixies and Mooney Suzuki before they all got big. “We had been sending out our stuff to just about every label we could find that looked half-decent,” Burns said. “It was literally a mass-mailing. We were talking to a couple labels who wanted more material, but then Sonic Unyon contacted us and asked if they could put [our EP] out immediately. We said yes and they signed us on the spot.”

Cohen found himself again in the same position he was in during his time in White Octave: tom between school and music. ‘You can’t imagine how difficult it is to tour for a couple weeks and then come back to school, where you’re expected to make up the work and keep going,” he explained. “Touring just saps so much energy from you. What’s nice is that most of my professors have been cool with it.”

After Sonic Unyon released theirEP in late 2004, the band decided to push themselves further. Bums was a friend of rock veteran Dale Flattum, who has been a member of revolutionary underground outfits like Steel Pole Bath Tub and Milk Cult, and wanted him to join the band. Flattum, who made the artwork for both the band’s EP and their upcoming album, uses two tape decks, a sampler and an echo, all run through a mixer and into an amp as his instrument, adding a whole new sound to The Nein's music. “In my old band, it was an easy way to make the cheapest, simple music,” Flattum

said. “It's always a kind of experiment, to see which sound works with what, which frequency pulls

through.”

“It took me a while to get used

to

what Dale was

doing,” Cohen said. “Sometimes, the sounds he creates just don’t sound right, but then you listen to them a few more times, and you realize they’re perfect. That’s where Dale’s genius shines through.”

Using his tape decks, Flattum samples different sounds he has collected over time. “I have so many cassettes sitting around my house,” he said. “I have more cassettes than records or CDs.” The other members of The Nein are very satisfied with Flattum’s presence. “I think that Dale makes The Nein more complete,” Biggers said. “His sounds mash really, well with our music. I think our new music is more complete.”

The band’s original EP has a very raw, stripped down rock sound, or, as Biggers calls it, very much of a “live band sound.” With the addition of Flattum, The Nein cleaned up their sound and opted to record their new album in a professional studio. “I think that we’re challenging ourselves and making better, more interesting music,” Flattum said. “What you're seeing is just the band maturing.”

The main appeal of The Nein is not only their thoughtful, interesting music but also Cohen’s lyrics.

“Finn’s lyrics are steeped in worry and concern,” Burns said. “They’re not preachy, they're just contempladve.”

The members ofThe Nein are preparing themselves for growing popularity. Their debut full-length album, Wrath of Circuits, which features Flattum, is prepped for release May 17. After the release, The Nein will be embarking on a national tour that begins in late May. Although they do not anticipate exceptional success, they would love to become a self-sustaining outfit. “I don’t think any of us are really planning on getting really big,” Cohen said. “But I’m anticipating good things happening in the next six months or so. We’re thinking of touring Europe and Japan really soon, which would be great for the band.”

With a packed show at South by Southwest last month and a possible trans-Atlandc tour, Cohen’s dreams of getdng his B.A. might have to take a break.

“If we do go to Europe and Japan, I’m going to have to take another semester off,” Cohen said. “It’s too bad I have to leave school, but as I said before, music has always been at the top of my list. One of these days, though, I’ll finish.”

There will be a record release party for The Nein ’s album, Wraith of Circuits, at King’s Barcade in Raleigh on May 7.
