Svec had rotator cuff surgery Nov. 15 at Duke Health Raleigh, and she has spent the last seven months drawing attention to the mix-up—supporting and comforting patients who previously felt they had few places to turn.

Patients have criticized Duke for not releasing information about the chemical composition of the liquid earlier; it took more than six months for Duke

and Exxon Mobil Corporation—which produces the fluid—to make the data public.

In early July, Dr. Michael Cuffe, vice president for medical affairs at DUHS, said Duke should have responded more quickly and clearly when corresponding with patients about the specifics of the situation.

“Duke did the right thing immediately,’" he said, citing Duke’s decision to correct the problem

and analyze the data gathered to assess the impact of the mix-up.

“But I think Duke could have done better in communicating with the patients.”

Cuffe also noted that Duke should have relayed the urgency of the situation to ExxonMobil when requesting information about the fluid.

Carol Svec, a health writer from Raleigh, is almost singlehandedly taking on Duke University Health System. Acting as an advocate for patients affected by the widely publicized hydraulic fluid mishap of November and December 2004, Svec is pushing for patients’ rights and calling for more transparency from DUHS administrators.

“We were put in this situation by no fault of our own. We were harmed while under Duke’s care,” Svec said, adding that she has spoken with more than three dozen affected patients the day before. “We would just like to be helped.”

In late 2004, employees at Duke Health Raleigh and Durham Regional Hospital—both DUHS facilities—used tainted surgical tools in more than 3,800 surgeries.

The instruments had been washed with elevator hydraulic fluid in one step of the standard cleaning process. An employee of a local elevator comhad pany inadvertently drained the fluid into drums

The University is gearing up for a new fundraising initiative targeted solely at financial aid.

Administrators expect the initiative, which is slated to begin sometime this winter, to significantly boost Duke’s financial aid endowment and lessen the percentage of aid funded by the annual operating budget.

Duke currently spends about $5O million each year to help students pay for tuition, room and board. Approximately 20 percent of the funds come from the financial aid endowment—money raised from investing and earning interest on the endowment. The rest comes from the operating budget, which is money that can be spent on a variety of other needs, including salaries, programming and renovation costs.

With the new initiative, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said the University hopes to increase the endowment enough so that only 50 percent ofannual

Angelica Central overhaul delayed strikes deal with union After years of debate and negotiation, Angelica Corp.—the laundry service used

by Duke University Health System reached an agreement with workers’ —

union UNITE HERE. Workers at non-unionized Angelica plants, including the Durham plant, can now decide by vote whether and how to unionize without facing pressures from company management.

The agreement requires non-unionized plants to use a public “card check,” rather than secret ballot, method when deciding if they want to unionize under UNITE HERE, which represents workers at 23 of Angelica’s 35 plants. Angelica employees previously told The Chronicle that they experienced unfair conditions and harassment from anti-union workers and management.

The University and DUHS, per policy, do not directly force companies to allow workers to unionize. In the past, however, Duke has indicated that it wants Angelica to improve the working conditions at the Durham plant.

Over the past year, students in Duke’s chapter of Students Against Sweatshops have supported UNITE HERE and staged several demonstrations on campus.

Officials announced in earlyjune that the University has pushed back the first phase of Central Campus renovations by one year. The project is now set for completion in Fall 2008.

The University said the decision to delay the revitalization initiative was made largely in response to an expected housing crunch created by the increased enrollment of the Pratt School of Engineering by 200 students over four years.

“The idea to push the project to 2008 is based on our own sense of the pace of what we can do,” Provost Peter Lange said in June. “To do this right, we felt the extra time would be useful.”

HIV vaccine research by

THE CHRONICLE

Dr. Barton Haynes, director of Duke’s Human Vaccine Institute and Frederic M. Hanes professor of medicine, has studied HIV/AIDS for 15 years and has no intention of stopping—especially now that he has the backing of the world’s eight leading industrialized, democratic nations and $3OO million from the National Institutes of Health.

The funds will support the new Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology, established July 14 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases, a department of NIH. As the leader of the center, Haynes will coordinate an international consortium of HIV vaccine researchers.

The center’s objective is to design, develop and test potential HIV vaccines.

It will use many ofits resources to gain a greater understanding of the virus, especially its earliest stages of infection.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity because we won’t be resource-limited,” Haynes said. “But it’s also a lot of responsibility to make sure that we use these resources to move forward.”

In its first year, the center will receive more than $l5 million from the NIAID, which anticipates committing as much as $49 million for each of the subsequent six years.

The center was created in response to a 2003 proposal presented by the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise, a group composed of prominent HIV vaccine researchers from around the world, including Haynes.

For the first time in six years, Duke University Medical Center has failed to claim the No. 6 spot on U.S. News and World Report’s annual Honor Roll of America’s Best Hospitals. Despite falling two spots to eighth place overall this year, DUMC maintained distinctions in 16 of 17 specialties ranked by the magazine, a number consistent with last year’s report.

The honor roll presented in the July 18 cover story represents the cream of the crop of the 6,007 medical centers in the U.S. The 16 hospitals that made the roll had to achieve very high rankings in at least six specialties.

Heart and heart surgery and geriatrics were DUMC’s strongest areas of expertise, ranking fourth in both. It also placed in the top 10 in the specialties of cancer, gynecology, orthopedics,

digestive disorders, psychiatry, urology, respiratory disorders, ophthalmology, kidney disease and rheumatology.

“I’m disappointed by the drop because we’re better than that,” said Dr. Michael Cuffe, vice president for med-

ical affairs at Duke University Health Systems. However, he added that “we’re going to celebrate and be pleased and congratulate our employees and physicians at doing so well and being recognized as being one of the top hospitals in the country.”

After gaining about 200 pounds over the course of 15 years, Kay Adock knew she desperately needed a drastic life change.

Once “thin in her youth,” Adock began to pack on pounds in her mid-40s. Two injuries—one from a fall that crushed her arm and shoulder—incapacitated her for several months and only exacerbated her weight gain.

“Life just wasn’t a lot of fim,” Adock said.

“I just went into depression and thought, ‘Well this is it. Life is over.’”

Obese, diabetic and virtually immobile, Adock tried every conventional diet available.

When she made a final plea to her doctor for help, he recommended the Rice Diet Program in Durham.

Adock and her husband decided that she would try the medically-supervised program for one month. She moved from their home in Fuquay Varina, N.C., to the Quality Inn in Durham and devoted herself to every aspect of the diet, which includes a strict nutritional plan, motivational speakers, yoga and meditation sessions at the Rice House Clinic.

After the first month, Adock felt so empowered by her progress, she decided to keep going. One month turned into two, and two turned into 11.

So far she has lost 143 pounds.

“I figure, this is the way I have to live. This is a new way of life,” Adock said.

Every year, more than 4,000 dieters like

Over the course of 11 months, Kay Adock has lost 143 pounds on the low-calorie, low-sodium Rice Diet in Durham.

Adock make the pilgrimage to a variety of diet centers in Durham in search ofa new way oflife.

The Bull City became known as the “Diet Capital of the World” in the 1930s after Duke kidney specialist Dr. Walter Kempner advocated treating various diseases with a healthy diet.

To alleviate hypertension, for example, Kempner prescribed a low-calorie, low-sodium plan consisting primarily ofrice and fruit. It became known as the Rice Diet Kempner’s diet was effective in fighting hypertension, high blood pressure and diabetes-associated ailments, but it was the signif-

icant weight loss patients experienced that gave the program international distinction.

Several celebrities, including Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation founder Colonel Harland Sanders, became Rice devotees.

The program split from Duke University in 2002 and now operates independently.

Two other programs offering alternate diet plans have also developed in the area—the Structure House and the Duke Diet and Fitness Center. Each of the diet centers boasts a SEE DIETS ON PAGE 22

When Clare Lascelles heard the rumble ofmedia helicopters competing with the sound of her professor’s voice during a lecture July 7, she just assumed it was a “busy day” in London.

It wasn’t until the junior from Atlanta, Ga., who is studying at the London School ofEconomics for the summer, went to grab a drink during a class break that she learned four explosions had rocked the city in the busy morning hours.

A woman on an elevator told Lascelles a bomb had exploded in the subway. The woman had also seen a doubledecker bus with its top blown off that morning.

For Lascelles, the news hit close to home “I’m actually in a global politics in the Middle East class, so it was all so real—the class was becoming all too real,” she said.

Among classmates from several countries—including England, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates—Lascelles said the American students could not help but recall Sept.

11, 2001 and react with mixed emotions.

“The Americans sort of felt bad, like wherever we go these sorts of things happen,” she said. “It was almost like a feeling of camaraderie, like, ‘Oh now you know how it feels.... We’re not alone, we’re not the only ones.’”

Lascelles was one of many Duke students in London during the bombings. Director of the Office of Study Abroad Margaret Riley said all students and professors in the Duke in London Drama Program—the only Dukesponsored summer program in the city—have been accounted for and are unharmed.

Though she said there is no way for the University to fully account for students like Lascelles who are studying or working independently in London over the summer, Riley said she has received no reports of students being injured in the attacks.

The blasts killed more than 50 people and wounded 700. Four bombers, possibly linked to al Qaeda, are believed to have died in the attacks. A fifth man, who studied chemical engineering at North Carolina State University, was arrested in Cairo based on suspicions he helped build the bombs.

Junior Meredith Musselman, a participant in the Duke drama program, said she and several friends were standing just blocks away from one of the bombs when it exploded.

Sophomore Edward Wardle, another member of the drama program, said he was thankful he and other Duke students living in the city are safe. families of all the victims; it’s “My heart goes out a blessing to be alive, because it could have easily been one of us in harm’s way,” Wardle wrote in an e-mail.

Although classes continued as scheduled the day of the bombings, Lascelles said LSE would not allow some students out of their dormitories and told all students to remain on campus. Attendance was taken in class, and free phone service was offered to students so they could contact their families.

“It was five in the morning in America so a lot of kids were waking up their parents —who had no idea what was going on,” Lascelles explained.

Despite initial confusion and precautions, Lascelles said London quickly returned to normal in the attacks’ aftermath. She saw people sight-seeing near the Houses of Parliament the afternoon of July 7—albeit under the watchful eyes of extra police.

Lascelles even took a train out of the city the day after the bombings and said she felt no fear.

“I don’t think any of us have any apprehensions about going about in the city or taking public transportation,” Lascelles said.

“My feeling about the whole situation is that it largely is silly to be afraid because once it has happened, it’s not going to happen again. The safest day to take a trip on an airplane is the day after a crash because everything is in tip-top shape.”

Nonetheless, Lascelles said she and others in the city are surprised London was selected as the target of the attacks.

“London is the most international city in the w0r1d....

It’s one of the places where you wouldn’t expect it to happen because people get along so well; there are so many religions and ethnicities,” she explained.

Gilbert Merkx, vice provost for international affairs, estimated that only 15 to 20 students were affected by refusal of funding for trips to countries on the list. And he said the University’s study abroad policy was consistent with peer institutions.

Smile with Dr. T

by Peter A. Tzendzalian, DDS

Q:

How can I keep a healthy smile for life?

A:

Visiting a dentist regularly, you’ll keep visits short and you’ll drastically reduce the likelihood of developing a problem. Gum disease is responsible for 60 percent of

tooth loss in the country. And gum disease can get underway long before you would be aware of it. The same is true for decay. Only your dentist will be able to see the beginning of a cavity. Repairing a small decayed area is much easier and cheaper to accomplish than repairing a large cavity, which may require elaborate steps like a root canal and crown. It is recommended that you visit your dentist twice a year. Even if there’s no dental problem, it’s good to have your teeth cleaned at least twice a year. Here are some fundamental tips to keep in mind: Stay away from sugar. The average American consumes almost 150 pounds of sugar a year. Plaque, the clear, sticky substance that accumulates on your teeth every day and can cause cavities and gum disease, loves sugar. So, be to remove plaque every day. Brush your teeth after every meal. The longer food residue stays in your mouth, the more contact it has with teeth. Stop smoking. Smoking is one of the leading risk factors in the development of gum disease. Smokeless tobacco is bad, too. Its use significantly increases the risk of developing oral cancer. Brush with an American Dental Associationapproved fluoride toothpaste. And floss eveiy day. Remember to rinse after flossing to wash away dislodged food particles.

Follow these guidelines and you should keep a healthy smile all your life.

festival draws international dancers, fosters community by

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

They come and go in jabbering groups.

The walk is a slightly turned-out half-shuffle—their soundless and unassuming steps tread the ground. Dressed in cropped sweats, gaucho pants and tight-fitting tank tops, either barefoot or in flip-flops, they proudly display the taped and untaped wounds and callouses covering their feet as evidence of their craft.

The dancers who have just finished rehearsal are slowly packing up and moving out, greeting the ones coming in for their three-hour session with pleasant “hellos.”

Fifteen minutes after the hour she walks in—her amiable aura made obvious by the instant camaraderie that surrounds her.

It is Huai Wen Zhang’s first time in America. The 23-year-old Taiwanese native traveled to Durham in June as part of American Dance Festival’s summer program, which has made Duke its home for the past 28 summers.

“For me, it is a family with the whole ADF group, even with dancers I don’t know,” she said. “It’s a stranger, but you can tell they’re a dancer—if they walk like a dancer, dress like a dancer. We all say ‘hello’ to all the dancers.”

ADF brought 50 performances from 17 dance companies in seven countries to Duke between June and July. From a group of more than 300 dancers, Wen is one of 35 chosen to perform with the International Choreographers Commissioning Program at the end of the summer.

Although the dancers hail from many

different countries, the universal language of dance eases translation.

“Everyone is doing the same thing, they have the same goal,” Wen said. “We are just connected together, so you don’t need to talk because everybody has the same feelings.”

Wen’s life as a dancer began at the age of 13, which she calls a “late start” in comparison to fellow dancers in the program but does not consider a disadvantage. “We don’t compare because there are many geniuses dial got their start very late,” she said.

After a year of preliminary training, Wen was admitted to a junior school for dance in Taiwan, earning top marks at her entrance audition. When she was 15, she was admitted to Virginia School of the Arts but never attended because she was denied a visa.

“How can everything have been going so smoothly? What’s happening? Why don’t they give me the student visa?” she remembered wondering at the time.

Frustrated and discouraged, Wen took time off from dancing for a year in New Zealand, where she learned English. “I couldn’t go to America so I went there. I just wanted to leave Taiwan for a while,” she said.

Wen returned to Taiwan at 16 and attended arts school for two-and-a-half years before enrolling in Taipei Physical Education College. She expects to graduate next year.

For Wen, ADF has given her the opportunity to study her life’s passion in America.

Duke, union ink contract to boost worker pay by

Saidi Chen

THE CHRONICLE

After 26 rounds of negotiations, a new three-year contract was finally ratified by Duke and the local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees June 30.

The contract provides a minimum base pay of $lO per hour and salary increases of 2.5 percent to University employees represented by the Local 77 chapter of the union for each of the next three years.

In addition, the two sides agreed upon a number of attendance and professional development planning standards.

“We were able to reach an agreement on issues that were important to both Local 77 and the University,” said Paul Grantham, communications director for human resources. “We have a good contract in place for the next three years. We’re pleased with the agreement,” he said.

On the other side of the bargaining table, Mike Gibson, business manager of Local 77, agreed that the six weeks of negotiations with the University ended well for the involved parties.

“I think economic issues were the most important, as always, but I think we got past those issues and basically headed in a new direction with Duke,” Gibson explained.

He noted that relations between the union and the University “could have been better” in the past.

The new contract will cover about 900 service employees who provide dining, groundskeeping, housekeeping and animal care services for the University. In addition to affecting all new Local 77 members hired, the new base wage will also cause salaries to increase for about 300 current

employees.

Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said the $lO-per-hour wage was probably the most visible issue for the union going into negotiations because the University announced the same rate

for all full-time employees in the spring Trask noted, however, that a decrease in the number of days employees can arrive late, leave early or be absent without consequences was a more important issue to Duke in the negotiating process, “I think in many ways the attendancepolicy changes were more important,” Trask said. “It’s been something of a problem in that unit,” The University employs approximately 1,100 union workers—about 4 percent of the employee population. In addition to the Local 77 of AFSCME there are two smaller unions which represent transportation, skill craft and maintenance workers.

Best Buddies brighten Duke hospital newsbriefs by

Bolin Niu

THE CHRONICLE

Classes may be out, but volunteering is

definitely still in.

The Best Buddies program at the Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center this summer is full of students and community volunteers. The program, specific to the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplantation unit, pairs each volunteer with a family whose child is an inpatient.

Since 1997, Duke’s Best Buddies has placed 210 volunteers with 465 families.

Word of the program has been spread largely by one volunteer recommending it to another. Volunteers provide respite for parents who may need to be away from the unit for a short time. Jane Schroeder, director of family support for PBMT, said it is important that families be relieved of the stress of having a child in the hospital.

“They allow families to take time off and know that someone they can trust is with their child,” she said.

Volunteers go through a thorough training process. After meeting with Lindsey Kearns, the program’s coordinator, volunteers spend 12 hours preparing for the experience. Topics such as grief and loss, communication, confidentiality and med-

ical knowledge are presented through role-playing and general discussion.

Volunteers are well-respected in the hospital unit and considered an essential part of the a patient’s team along with nurses and social workers.

“Best Buddies has grown into something very significant,” Schroeder said.

Senior Alexis Sheaffer, a Best Buddies volunteer, said the program has garnered respect due to the amount of work volunteers contribute.

She added that it “is very emotionally demanding, but that’s what makes it all worthwhile.”

Depending on the patient’s age and medical situation, volunteers may talk, play games or even watch DVDs with the child.

Sheaffer helps her little buddy’s family by running errands for the parents and watching the child while the mother rests.

Schroeder, however, said the program’s worth lies beyond what volunteers do with their buddies.

“The most important thing is being able to form a relationship with the family and the patient,” she said.

But lasting relationships often develop with heartbreak. During her freshman year, senior Whitney Little lost her little

buddies, twin brothers under three years old, within two weeks of each other.

Being with the family through the ordeal allowed Little to become close with them, and she continues to visit them in Greece every summer.

“Volunteers walk side by side with [the families] in the hardest time of their lives,” she said.

Litde added that volunteers have come to appreciate the silent desperation and love that parents feel for their children.

“They will do anything for their child,” she said.

Best Buddies also allows students, especially those who want to become physicians, to see medicine from a unique perspective. “It exposes you to the extremes of medicine... and the amount of labor—physical and emotional—that is involved in being a doctor,” Little said.

Observing patient-doctor relations in person allowed Sheaffer to become more aware of the way she plans to interact with patients as a physician.

“Sometimes I see the mom nodding when she doesn’t really understand what the doctor is saying,” Sheaffer said. “When I become a doctor, I’ll know to take an extra second to explain.”

New members named to Board Seven new members of the University’s Board ofTrustees were announced July 6 by Board Chair Robert Steel.

Beginning their terms with the 37member body July 1 were Thomas Clark of New York City and Litchfield County, Conn.; Robin Ferracone ofLos Angeles; Kenneth Hubbard of Greenwich, Conn.; David Rubenstein of Washington, D.C.; Robert Saunders of Durham; Alan Schwartz of Greenwich, Conn.; and Anthony Vitarelli of Marlton,

THE HART LEADERSHIP PROGRAM Helping students become engaged citizens in a democratic society

People are talking about us. Here’s what they’re saying: “One of the nation’s best-known leadership programs.’’

The Chronicle

of Higher Education

“Since its inception, the Hart Leadership Program has been at the forefront of the nation’s leadership and service-learning programs.’’

Bruce Kuniholm Director of the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy }

“Far and away the best class I have taken at Duke. This is the most passion for teaching that I have encountered in any professor at Duke.’’

Teacher-course evaluation spring 2005 “The Hart Leadership Program is gaining national recognition for the development of a powerful new form of experiential learning, Research Service Learning, in which the service that Duke students provide is the generation and application of knowledge to an issue of concern to a community agency.”

Robert Thompson, Dean of Trinity College and Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education “I’ve seen the best and worst of leaders hard at work, learning piece by piece what leadership means. I firmly believe in servant-leadership, a combination of humility, group input, openness to change, and a perspective that the job of a leader is to maximize the effectiveness of the whole team.”

Jay Lee, 2004-2005 Hart Fellow based in Bangalore, India

spent time at an open bazaar in the heart ofYerevan and purchased several books from second-hand booksellers.

Although most of Turkyilmaz’s research books were from the 1900s, one was a 17th-century volume. If Turkyilmaz had declared the books at the airport, he would not have been stopped from leaving Armenia, said Orin Stam, professor of cultural anthropolgy and Turkyilmaz’s fac-

Various world leaders supported the Enterprise’s recommendations at the June 2004 G-8 summit—a meeting of the leaders of the world’s eight most industrialized country.

“With the epidemic continuing unabated globally, not enough progress was being made,” Haynes said. “We need to go faster and include more countries.”

With a global focus—the senior leaders for the new center hail from Harvard University, University of Alabama and Oxford University—the center will establish clinical sites to find and study patients in the United States, England and Africa.

The internationalreach of the project is particularly important because HIV is rapidly evolving and viral diversity presents many problems for vaccine development. Haynes said these factors have made progress in developing a vaccine more difficult than he ever anticipated.

With Haynes as the head of the center, Duke continues to push forward with its institutional commitment to global health.

ulty advisor.

“I’m positive he had no idea of the law banning the exportation of books,” Starn said.

Turkyilmaz’s research involves investigating the involvement ofKurds, Turks and Armenians in the transformation of eastern Anatolia—the Asian region of Turkey—in the early 20th century. Stam called Turkyilmaz’s arrest ironic given that the scholar is calling for fellow Turks to recognize and understand theirrole in the persecution of Armenians in the early 1900s. Turkish-Armenian relations are still tenuous because of Armenian claims that they were victims of genocide at the hands of Turks.

“I just hope people understand the books are about research. He’s not going to break the law,” Zeynep said. “His research is very important—about the relations between the two countries.”

While he is being detained, Turkyilmaz is only permitted to communicate with his lawyer, who has informed Turkyilmaz’s family and Siam that he is not being mistreated. Although it remains uncertain when Turkyilmaz will be released, he will not be allowed to leave Armenia and return home until after his court date, which has not been set. Zeynep said her brother had scheduled to return to Duke mid-August.

Donald Horowitz, James B. Duke Professor ofLaw and Political Science and a member of Turkyilmaz’s dissertation committee, said he finds the law against taking old books out of Armenia unusual.

“I have no knowledge ofArmenian law, but I have done research in many countries. I have never heard of a prohibition on the export of books that are over 50 years old.

Rare books are another matter,” Horowitz wrote in an email. Ithas been reported that none of Turkyilmaz’s books would be classified as rare.

“I am deeply concerned that a Duke student—and ajonderful person—is being held,” Starn said.

“This grant offers an unparalleled opportunity to perform innovative research that will lead to new design options for an HIV vaccine,” Dr. Victor Dzau, president and CEO of Duke University Health System and chancellor for health affairs at Duke, said in a statement. “With this intensive effort, we will make a substantial impact on global health.”

Dr. David Goldstein, visiting professor of molecular genetics and microbiology, will lead the center’s Host and Viral Genetics Core, one of the center’s five main research foci. “The focus of my group is on understanding how genetic differences among people influence their abilities to control the virus,” Goldstein wrote in an e-mail. “Understanding why some people naturally control the virus better than others can help to provide clues to the most profitable directions for vaccine development.”

The other four cores are the Structural Biology Core, the Acute HIV-1 Infections Network Core, the Clinical Core and the Vaccine Production Core. Dr. Myron Cohen from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and three doctors from Harvard Medical Center will lead the other core groups.

McKinney and Cuffe both stressed that the quality of care provided to patients is the ruler the hospital measures itself against “If we believe we’re providing the best care possible and the rankings move one way or the other, we should still be satisfied we’re doing excellent work,” Cuffe said. “We would certainly like to do better year over year in every area, but the most important thing is our patients and the quality of the care we’re delivering.”

Johns Hopkins Hospital claimed the top spot on the honor roll for the 15th straight year, with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and Massachusetts General Hospital rounding out the top three.

lease of more juniors in last year’s housing lottery as possible explanations.

“Either way, fewer seniors living on campus means we release fewer juniors to live off-campus,” Love said.

A lack of available on-campus housing prompted RLHS to institute a housing lotteiy last spring that released about 220 juniors—nearly all that applied—from on-campus housing requirement Although Love was unsure of the specific numbers at this point, he speculated that if the same number of juniors apply this year, only about one-half to two-thirds will be released.

The news is shocking for many juniors who anticipate moving off campus in the spring. Melissa Furlong made plans months ago to live off campus with six friends when she returns from studying abroad.

“If they make us live on campus when we get back, they’ll probably stick us in Edens [Quadrangle], which is like punishing us for going abroad,” she said.

“The three-year housing monopoly should be illegal.”

Adding to Furlong’s frustration is the fact that RLHS cannot guarantee that students returning from abroad will get their preferred roommates, a point Love emphasized.

Love also advised that juniors interested in living off-campus second semester be prepared to live on campus if their applications are denied.

If students are already paying deposits on apartments, they should make sure they are refundable and insist on written confirmation, he added. “Above all, be flexible and don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” Love said.

Provost Peter Lange said the idea for the initiative, which is expected to span three year, originated with President Richard Brodhead. “The president has identified an absolutely critical, long-term institutional need,” Lange said. “He thinks that this period... is an ideal time to try to address that need and to redress a potential structural weakness in our financial structure.”

The initiative also reflects Brodhead’s strong commitment to undergraduate life, Trask said.

The financial aid status of Duke and its peer institutions, Lange explained, can be split into three tiers. In the top tier, schools like Harvard University, Princeton University and Yale University depend on their operating budgets for only 20 percent of finan-

Vacationing in London, the girls were riding one of the targeted subway trains near Edgware Road when a bomb detonated. The sisters, who believe they were about 10 feet from the blast, said they felt like they were on fire as the bomb exploded.

Although the sisters were in close proximity to the bomb, Georgiade said passengers and seats around the girls likely shielded them from suffering more serious injuries. Georgiade said the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. State Department and Scotland Yard invested a substantial amount of time and energy to transport the family from England.

Once the family arrived at RaleighDurham International Airport, a DUMC transport crew brought the Bentons to Duke.

Georgiade said Katie, a senior at the University of Tennessee, is eagerly anticipating the upcoming school year, hoping she will be far enough along in her recuperation to attend her first day of classes Aug. 26.

Georgiade addedKatie was “not sure why everyone is interested in them. [They] survived, the people next to them were dead.”

nurturing environment in which patients cultivate positive habits to replace their formerly destructive behaviors that led to weight gain and health complications.

Dr. Howard Eisenson, director of the Duke Diet and Fitness Center, noted that while nutrition and exercise are important, Durham’s diet havens are successful because they seek to affect the psychological aspect of weight loss. The clinics are “three internationally recognized, serious programs grounded in good science,” Eisenson said.

Susan Blech has spent over 18 months living in Durham on the Rice Diet. Once an intense bodybuilder, Blech turned to food to help her deal with overwhelming emotions associated with events affecting her mother, who became a quadriplegic after suffering a stroke when Blech was young.

Over several years, Blech gained 300 HOWARD CHEN/THE CHRONICLE

BUILDING from page 12 Science Research Center as part of the University’s effort to improve its sciences. With an eye towards interdisciplinarity, FSC will provide a home for and foster cooperation among the chemistry, physics and biology departments.

Construction on the addition to the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy surged ahead this summer. The new Rubenstein Hall building is set for completion by September. The $ 13-million project nearly doubles the size of the current institute and will function primarily as office and research space.

Crews broke ground in March on a $17.6-million building that will house the entire School of Nursing, eliminating the inconvenience presented by the five locations that currently house various facets of the school.

Although Duke’s nursing program has been in existence for nearly 75 years, the Board of Trustees recendy approved a new Ph.D. program in the field, necessitating a centralized space. The building is scheduled to be completed next summer.

Renovations and the addition of a new wing to the law school—projects totaling $2O million—are slated for completion by late August.

cluded that the Rice Diet was her best bet.

On the predominately vegetarian program—patients eat fish only once a week during the second phase of the clinical plan —Blech has shed over 220 pounds.

She wants to lose 50 more.

Although Durham’s diet programs are expensive, reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars for some patients, both Adock and Blech believe it is money well spent. “When I get out of here, I’ll be completely broke, but what would I do with the money when I’m six feet under?”

Blech said.

Fearing a heart attack or stroke, Blech knew she needed a radical change from her hectic New York City lifestyle. After researching clinics on the Internet, she con-

into the diet programs. “When you get into a group of people that are all taking care of themselves, it makes it easier for you to take care of yourself,” said Robert Rosati, director of the Rice Diet. “It’s hard to not be attracted to whatever the masses are doing.”

Both the Duke Diet and Fitness Center and the Rice Clinic say about 40 percent of their patients sustain long-term weight loss. But ounces and pounds are not the only thing they lose.

“Even though most people come here to lose weight, through the course of the program they see that it’s about more than that because they see people getting off their insulin, high blood pressure medicine being stopped, people that don’t need their walkers or oxygen tanks anymore,” Rosati said.

The average dieter stays a month at the center before returning to the real world of temptations and independence. Eisenson stressed that it is crucial to frame diets to prepare patients for pressures of society.

“We try from the very beginning to say to them, ‘Listen, this is not the real world.

This environment has been designed to facilitate your education, to give you a success experience, to empower you and to motivate you, but you’re not going to be facing the challenges here that you are going to be facing out there. So let’s be realistic from the very beginning and plan for how to address those,’” he said.

Because of the programs _restric live aspects, doctors do not recommend that dieters try them on their own. Successful dieters who have come to Durham, however, say the programs produce very physical and emotional results.

“After I had lost 125 pounds [my husband] said, Tou’ve lost what you were when I married you. But just don’t lose the girl I married,’” Adock said. “And I said, ‘No, no you won’t. She’s still here.’”

In what she considers a turning point in her efforts, Svec said DUHS felt increased pressure to release more information when the story resurfaced in the local media and hit national headlines in mid-June, six months after the initial discovery of the mix-up.

Around the same time, Svec sent an email to Dr. Victor Dzau, president and CEO of DUHS and chancellor for health affairs at Duke, asking him to use her to help the confused patients.

when you need to,” she explained. “There are a lot of ideas I would never bring up.”

Wilson said the issue is particularly problematic for conservative students like herself. From picking classes to deciding how to write a public policy memo, Wilson said she often made academic decisions based on her professors’ ideology. “[Conservatives] take liberal professors’ classes who they have heard can withstand conservative views,” she said. “It usually is a grade issue in the end.”

ACADEMIC from page 1 history of higher education: academic freedom.

In its purest form, academic freedom exists when an institution fosters a culture in which students and professors are not punished for their opinions. And although most people agree academic freedom should be a given on any campus, the questions of how much ofit exists and how to protect it are grounds for debate.

Even in the shadow of bold historical moves in support of an open intellectual environment, Duke—like much of academia—has struggled to shake a reputation as a bastion of liberal bias.

At Duke, many believe the issue stems from a lack ofcandid dialogue.

“We don’t have honest conversations about race, gender, homosexuality or religion because it’s easier not to offend anyone,” Munger said. “That is dangerous to education when you avoid things that you are confused about because you are afraid of offending someone.”

Some students say problems arise from a stifling ofcertain beliefs among faculty.

“For me, the issue is less so what is being taught at Duke right now, it’s what isn’t being taught,"junior Licia Yanez said.

Amid the discussion, administrators are quick to point out that Duke is more open academically than many schools.

“I believe Duke is pretty good in some respects to these issues,” Provost Peter Lange said.

But Lange and other top brass admit that even at Duke, there is always room but no easy avenue—for improvement.

Conflicting philosophers Professor Gary Hull wants answers

In the evaluations for his “Introduction Philosophy” class, Hull, director of the Program on Values and Ethics in the Marketplace and senior lecturing fellow in the sociology department, received comments like, “Everything was amazing, could not find a flaw,” and, “Duke needs more teachers in the philosophy dept, like Dr. Hull.”

The students gave him scores generally above the philosophy department’s average. He was lower than the average ranking in the “effort required” category, but students still scored Hull’s class a 4.9 out of 5 in intellectual stimulation; the department average was 4.3.

Because Hull was paid through a separate program, the philosophy department did not have to hind his salary for the course. It seemed like the perfect arrangement for the department.

But students will not be able to take Hull’s class this year, as it was not renewed.

Hull is speaking out, saying the department treated him unfairly.

The philosophy department, he explained, generally teaches philosophy with a pro-socialist slant; his class covers both a pro-capitalism and pro-socialism view.

Many ofhis colleagues, Hull noted, do not to

All of the eight departments listed had more Democrats than Republicans; some departments had no registered Republicans.

Madison Kitchens, Trinity ’O4 and executive director of DCU at the time, said the trend in the departments is troubling.

“Their viewpoints don’t represent a broad, diverse intellectual balance of opinions but rather a monochromatic look at certain subjects,” she said.

Though others said political affiliation has little bearing on a department or professor’s quality of instruction, the ad reignited the evolving discussion about students’ academic freedom.

WANT A

Most participants in the debate agree that an affirmative action-like program for conservative professors would harm the University’s academic quality. Munger said the best way for professors to combat the perception of bias is to teach all sides of an issue, not reveal partisan preferences and allow students to figure out their own values.

But some students say there are professors who never give them that chance. Jessica Wilson, Trinity ’O5, said violations of academic freedom are usually subtle. Often, she said, it comes down to what professors do—explicitly or implicitly—to make students feel comfortable expressing themselves in class.

ACADEMIC from page 26 think some of his subject matter should be taught.

“This is more than liberal bias against conservatives,” he said. “This is antagonism towards the whole idea of individualism and capitalism—any type of ideology that contradicts the philosophical premises of the department.”

Hull said one reason the department excluded him was because, after taking his course, students questioned the new material in subsequent classes.

“The professor gets pissed off,” Hull said. “Rather than deal with the objection and deal with the student, he gets upset and dismissive and behaves in goon-like behaviors.

I’ve seen them do this to students.”

The philosophy department denies these accusations.

Martin Golding, a philosophy professor who supported cancelling Hull’s class, said the decision to exclude Hull was not because of his views. “We didn’t think his course was appropriate,” Golding said. “We don’t think that people that are not in the philosophy department should come from outside the philosophy department, unless

THE CHRONICLE

there is a special need.”

Owen Flanagan, James B. Duke professor of philosophy, questioned Hull’s credentials and speculated that he was hired because nobody else was available to teach the course.

“We would not allow a person to teach in our department on a regular basis who we would not consider a credible hire by our department,” he added. “[Hull] would not be a credible candidate in our department.”

Golding and Flanagan said neither political affiliation nor ideological discussions arise when deciding whether to keep or hire a professor in the department. But Hull alleged that professors who have different views are unwelcome in the department, leaving certain areas of the field potentially unexplored and untaught.

The provost said standards of achievement for hiring committees are not universally specific but depend on an institution or department’s particular disciplines and subdisciplines. Many departments, particularly smaller ones, include a collection of professors with similar research specializations.

But Lange said this situation can be detrimental to the academy if not monitored. “I do believe that faculty do have

be vigilant in just reproducing themselves,” he said

The new professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is still unpacking his office.

The associate professor of sociology was recendy hired to come to Duke from Texas A&M University. Lynn Smith-Lovin, professor of sociology and chair of the department’s hiring committee, wrote in an e-mail that Bonilla-Silva’s research focus on racial oppression makes him a perfect match for a department particularly strong in the study of economic sociology.

But the professor’s past may be catching up to him.

In an e-mail to The Chronicle, former president of the Young Conservatives of Texas A&M Matt Maddox, who graduated in 2004, called Bonilla-Silva a “racebaiter” and an “intellectual burden.”

“He doesn’t let other people voice their views in the classroom,” Maddox said in a later conversation. “I don’t think he contributed anything but stirred racial hatred on the campus.”

The Young Conservatives ranked Bonilla-Silva as the top perpetrator of academic abuse in the classroom in their Professor Watch List Hall ofDishonor.

Maddox said the ranking was partially based on written comments. In Bonilla-Silva’s syllabus for his “Sociology of Minorities” class, he called the U.S. “The United States of Amerikkka” and said he would “remove the three K’s from this word when the USA removes racial oppression from this country!”

The Young Conservatives’ list claimed “Bonilla-Silva also routinely refers to conservative students as ‘Nazis’ or ‘Manlike’” and does not allow them to dissent in class.

Though not completely surprised by the attacks, Bonilla-Silva—who is not a registered Democrat or Republican—said students gave him positive teacher evaluations, a fact he considered impressive for a professor with liberal views on a generally conservative campus.

Bonilla-Silva said the statements the group criticized were “tongue-in-cheek.” His syllabus was tailored to ultraconservative students at Texas A&M, some of whom use The Bible as the main source in an essay, he explained.

Bonilla-Silva said students should use scientific data if they want to oppose arguments in his class.

He added that his job is to give his students the tools to challenge him with data after they have become well-versed in the subject matter he has studied for more than 20 years.

Lange said he was sure nobody at Duke knew of the ranking on the watch list when Bonilla-Silva was hired but added that it would not have affected hiring. “The worst thing we could possibly do is begin to allow off-handed rankings to influence intellectual decisions,” Lange said.

Philip Morgan, chair of the sociology department, challenged students to judge Bonilla-Silva for themselves.

“Rather than look at some list on the Internet, you might want to drop in and listen to what he has to say,” he said. “More importantly, why don’t you pick up a book and read it. It’s not like he is hiding his views.”

Future of freedom

Junior Stephen Miller is fighting for change.

As the head of Duke’s chapter ofStudents for Academic Freedom, Miller hopes to change the University’s academic climate by disseminating information, pressuring professors who violate students’ liberties and working to pass an academic bill ofrights.

“If you have cancer, the cure will be ugly and gruesome. Leftist bias is a cancer in academia,” he said.

The group is an offshoot of the national Students for Academic Freedom organization, a conservative group trying to pass federal legislation of an academic bill ofrights.

Lange said a federal mandate are not the best method of enacting effective academic change. Instead, he supports an amendment to the Duke Student Government constitution passed last spring tided “Academic Expectations and Responsibilities.” Proposed by junior Joe Fore, vice president of academic affairs, the bill states that Duke students should expect “freedom from religious, political, and other biases” in their academics.

The bill does not propose a specific mechanism for change, but Fore says he will be working this year to instill a more free academic atmosphere on campus.

Fore and Miller admit students cannot do the job alone. It will require efforts from administrators, whole departments and faculty as well.

With no quick fix in sight, Lange says the first step to making progress is sparking discussion.

“The whole idea of a university is to challenge people to think—to challenge their own way of thinking, to learn about their own way of thinking by bringing them into contact with different ways of thinking and giving them tools to do that in public and intellectually reasonable ways, ’ he said. “Debate is a good thing.”

Wells has devoted himself both to parish work, especially in underprivileged areas, and to a scholarly career that has earned him a reputation as one of the major theologians writing on ethics today Dr. Wells is a fourth-generation Church of England priest. He earned a master’s degree in modem history from Oxford University, a bachelor of divinity in systematic theology from Edinburgh University and a Ph.D. in theology from the University of Durham. He has been a priest in the Church of England for 14 years, serving in churches in Newcastle, Norwich and Cambridge.

Wells said there were many reasons why he was interested in the job, and is excited to come to Duke: the university, the divinity school and Duke Chapel congregation all offer unique opportunities.

should have been the issue.

A university education ought to be about how to argue coherently and with proper rigor. If students really are being graded down for what they are arguing rather than how, then that is surely a problem Duke should address. It would be, however, a problem of individual instructor—not institutional bias. Political examples and correlations certainly belong in the classroom as away of connecting theory to the world; but party-line politics shouldn’t be a part of evaluating student work.

That said, the focus on grade discrimination masks an underlying issue that potentially affect the education of every student. There is a dearth of conservative education in some parts of this University. And that has nothing to do with Republican or Democratic beliefs.

Conservative ideology, as defined in a classical, non-partisan sense, is less pervasive in many disciplines than its liberal counterparts (like Marxism), but it still offers a serious approach to thinking about serious academic questions. Too few classes at Duke offer instruction in these modes of thinking. Just as students should be able to learn conservative thought even if they hold fundamentally liberal beliefs, professors ought to be able to teach it.

But conservative ideas are still considered minority ideology in many disciplines. Fully integrating conservative thought into classes and into research would require a shift in thinking. Intellectual diversity has long been a goal of Duke's. As the debate about academic freedom evolves, the focus should be on the way universities regard conservative thought in a liberal education. That is a debate that could change attitudes.

Campus Unsafely: in our pools?

Duke University began subcontracting management of the Central Campus Pool to a small company called Pool Professionals in 2004. I was hired as the manager for the 2004 season and was offered the position again this year. The opening date for the pool was April 22, two weeks before final exams, and my contract stated that I would not be required to lifeguard until after my exams. The company also agreed to provide 10 lifeguards to staff the pool, but two days before the pool was to open, they only gave me four guards. I discovered on my own that one was unavailable until after final exams, and the remaining three were not CPR-certified.

I notified the company of this serious problem and repeatedly asked for certified lifeguards, but they refused. I removed the uncertified guards from the schedule and was forced to close the pool frequently, as many ofyou that visited the pool during the beginning of the season may remember. As I was studying for an exam one day in the Bryan Center, I found out that my supervisor at Pool Professionals had ordered one of the uncertified guards to open the pool by himself. I called my supervisor at Pool Professionals and told him that what he was doing was unsafe and illegal. My supervisor made it clear that my position as manager was at risk if the pool was not open at all times, regardless of guards’ certification.

I drove to Central Campus Pool, removed the uncertified guard from duty and closed the pool. Pool Professionals terminated my contract a few days later.

While Pool Professionals’ employment practices are reprehensible, it is a minor issue. What’s frightening is that they attempted to coerce a subordinate employee into breaking the law and jeopardizing our safety.

Imagine that a loved one now has a permanent disability from a simple infection because the family physician had been practicing without a license. A lifeguard that doesn’t know CPR can do as much to help a drowning victim as a six-year-old bystander can (call 911). When I notified The Chronicle of these events in late May and they began collecting information, the president of Pool Professionals ordered the staff to not speak with The Chronicle. The Duke community deserves better than to deal with a company that operates in such a shady nature and pays no regard to our safety.

Some good has come out of this incident: the elevated lifeguard stand was suddenly fixed after a year of ignored repair requests, there is now new equipment in the guard room and to my knowledge, the entire staff is now CPR-certified. However, these actions were only taken in response to inquiries from The Chronicle. I wouldn’t feel any safer in the

hands of the unlicensed family physician now that he has new furniture in the office and keeps his stethoscope nice and shiny....

The Duke community is now aware of this lifeguard safety issue and will be at fault if no action is taken.

Volunteer work still yields results To Dan Englander in response to your column “Team Malaria” (June 23, 2005): You’re right, one idealistic 18 year old cannot possibly save Kenya, Africa or the rest of the developing world. Making that realization is the first step toward productive humanitarianism. Ajid even if that’s all you’ll take away from your summer volunteering in Africa, you will come out ahead.

But I believe your volunteering experience has already taught you much more than that. You have learned how deeply rooted in culture many of Africa’s problems are. And you’ve learned how frustrating it is to constantly adjust your expectations. But in any cross-cultural volunteering experience, adjusting and re-adjusting goals is what it’s all about.

You have empowered 12 Kenyans to take control of their own sexual health. That means twelve fewer victims of HIV/AIDS and many more potential cases of HIV avoided when your students do not transmit the disease to their sexual partners. And that’s before we consider the potential impact your students have on their community as they, in your words, “may or may not go on to teach their friends” and relatives about HIV. It may be a small dent, but what we have to understand as volunteers is that small dents are the name of the game when it comes to HIV/AIDS education.

Consider, also, that what you take away from volunteering can be as important as what you contributed. How much has your perspective changed?

How much more of a global citizen (and malaria victim) do you feel, and how will that change the way you live upon your return to Duke? How many more people can you inspire to volunteer—instead, perhaps, of having those internships? What you gain—and share back home —in the way of perspective can be extremely impactful. This is especially true in your case: Your words in The Chronicle reach thousands ofreaders.

So don’t throw your hands up with “my hours of work have actually done little good.” Find the value in the small dents you’ve made and keep working to inspire your friends back home to take on the task of making dents.

Sell your printer. It’s more expensive, slower and less convenient to print in your room than it is to stop by the computer lab and swipe your Duke card Four fans are better than one.

Leave time to dally on. the way to class. Friendships get cemented on Duke’s pathways. It’s worth it to stop and talk. It’s also (usually) worth it to be on time to class.

Leave your door open while you’re in your room. Close and lock it when you leave.

Don’t tell anyone when you Va lose your bathroom key. That’s what hallmates are for.

Leave campus. Duke is a sheltered environment, and people get spoiled. Wandering through Durham will remind you what happens when you graduate. There is a point to education beyond building up alcohol tolerance.

The perfect solution to a hangover doesn’t exist. Just drink lots of water before you fall asleep.

Keep beer in a Solo cup, and keep Solo cups in your room (ping pong bails, too).

Find a set time to do laundry—or at least buy lots of underwear. (You never know where you might leave them.)

You can cut the mandatory orientation events and no one will notice Duke is expensive. $15,710 each semester, to be exact. And that’s just for undergraduate tuition. Room, board and mandatory fees tack on about another $4,000 each semester. That money pays for a lot more than just classes and a Duke seal on your degree. There is tons of stuff happening on campus and most of it is free (read: already paid for by fees, tuition and random alumni donations). Join activities, stop by shows, listen in on lectures, walk into Duke basketball games. These things are what make a Duke education worth the price tag.

Student government in college is way different than student government in high school. You’ve been warned!

Domino’s is open ’til 2.

Jimmy John’s is open ’til 3. Cosmic is open ’til 4.

But don’t eat after 11— that’s where the freshman 15 comes from.

The first few weeks of school, the social scene will be off campus. If you don’t want the neighbors to call the cops and shut down “social life” for the rest of the semester, act civilly. And be quiet while you’re walking home.

Vicariously livin’ in Laguna Beach “[Life] is solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short.

-Thomas Hobbes in The Leviathan, 1651 “[M]y friends and 1... have unlimited access to money and booze and whatever else we want, and our parents are rarely home, so we have tons ofprivacy. We’re smart, we’ve inherited classic good looks, we wear fantastic clothes, and we know how to party. Our s-t still stinks, but you can’t smell it because the bathroom is sprayed hourly by the maid with a refreshing scent made exclusively for us by French perfumers.

Cecily Von Ziegesar in Gossip Girl, Book One, 2002 I watch Laguna Beach: The Real 0. C. Not only do I watch it, but I’m Sarah ball actually a converted fan. After months of verbalizing my disdain guest commentary for the plodess MTV reality series—the main premise is unchecked teenage hedonism against a sunny SoCal backdrop—l now devote my precious respite from a 40-hour-per-week job to watching this show’s weekend marathons.

Hence my Saturday afternoon positioning. I’m still in my pajamas, legs draped over the arms of an overstuffed chair. My tongue is wagging around in the air, blindly feeling for my green Starbucks straw. Apparendy I’m too entrenched in the small-screen melodramadcs to wrench my eyes away from the screen. “Characters”—at this point, they’re really more like close friends—L.C. and Stephen are driving over the Golden Gate bridge. “Whoa,” says L.C., her blonde hair flapping out behind her gigantic sunglasses. “I, like, don’t live with my parents anymore.”

The camera pans over to Stephen, wearing an identical pair of Olsen-twin sunglasses.

“Weeeeird,” he says.

The screen fades to black. Adam Levine’s scratchy voice croons a three-note love song.

Dude. This show is soooo deep What is so enthralling about Laguna, as it is affectionately petnamed, remains a mystery' even to a critical connoisseur such as myself. Yet there are certain basic tenets of the show that are common to many of the most popular books, movies and serial television dramadies among young adults. These tenets? A lack of consequences, rules or laws; an abundance of wealth; die absence of parents and/or any sort of nuclear family structure; an indulgence ”

”

in multiple unhealthy habits. Protagonists live a life of excess, their daily dealings unscathed by the cruel realities of a violent, Hobbesian world. In Mean Girls parlance, it’s a pretty fetch setup.

Young culture worships this premise, and as a lemming, I’m hardly above it. Last weekend, because the Laguna marathon hadn’t yet commenced, I instead lazed at the pool, hiding a Gossip Girl book inside my De Kooning biography. Almost two million copies of the unapologetically trashy series have sold to a demographic that, according to the National Endowment for the Arts, doesn’t even read anymore.

We must be hooked.

But what frightens me more than my rapidly intensifying addiction is that this fantastic lifestyle isn’t so far removed from our lives as college students. “Mean Girls” is the title of a Duke Facebook group, for Christ’s sake. We may not all live in luxe impiety a la the Cruel Intentions cast, but we have the same freedom from consequence in our Gothic bubble—the most important pillar ofhedonism. There are no steadfast “rules” here or at most colleges around the country.

Young grasshoppers, Oh-Niners, I hope I haven’t convinced you that Duke is what my Misss-ippi debutante of a grandmother would call a “fast and loose place,” or that our little spread here in North Cakalacky even mildly approximates the fast times at Laguna Beach High. There’s a difference, after all, between being the scrupled life-of-the-party and being the coked-out bulimic with a festering case of the clap (you all know at least one of these).

But balancing ain’t easy, son, especially if you’re a fresh-offthe-boat freshman. The trick is in learning restraint, training yourself to employ some self-control, even if it’s I.) really hard or 2.) sooooooo passe.

You’ll probably learn this hard way.

The truly fetch thing about college, however, is that this freedom is yours to claim. What will you do with it? Will it be freedom to expand, to grow, to experientially ascend the throne of adulthood in a four-year whirlwind of the stimulating, the raucous and the mind-blowing? Or will it be freedom to choke yourself with self-serving behaviors, to get lost in the fray, to wind up a suburban mother of two reliving her long-gone Upper East Side high school days in a beach-read series?

That choice—like all the ones you’ll make this year —is yours and yours alone.

Dear readers,

Washington Post writer and newspaper icon Carl Bernstein once said, “Good journalism should challenge people, not just mindlessly amuse them.”

I discovered this quote online soon after Bernstein’s most famous source, Deep Throat, revealed his identity in June. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what exacdy it means for journalism to “challenge

”

Does it mean incitmg anger from bigwigs with a 1 1

piece? Criticizing the proverbial “establishment” in an editorial? Creating controversy with a column?

Since beginning my Job as editor ofThe Chronicle’s 101st volume, I’ve realized that the primary function of a newspaper should be to present readers with information that makes them want to do the challenging.

A good paper should be more than words on a page. It should cause people to examine the world, question their own assumptions and start talking to each other.

As The Chronicle enters this new year, we are committed to continuing the tradition of serving as the Duke community’s primary news source. Our staff of more than 100 student volunteers is looking forward to producing a product that people can’t wait to grab once it hits the bins.

From breaking news announcements to in-depth looks at what is making the Duke community tick, we hope to grab your attention with relevant, accurate coverage.

But we also hope to engage you as The Chronicle never has before. We want to hear what you are thinking—about us, about Duke and about the world. Send us a letter.

Submit a guest column. Give us a call if you see or know of news that’s fit to print (per the New York Times motto).

Alum McNally named baseball coach Players react to Blue Devils'

recent hire by

Sarah Kwak

THE CHRONICLE

For weeks, rumors swirled among the baseball players as the team awaited the selection of its new coach. The morning of July 15, hours before the Duke Athletic Department announced his hiring, Sean McNally was on the phone calling his players’ homes, touching base with his new team.

It was not the first time the Blue Devils had spoken with McNally. The former minor league manager and Duke baseball star led a hitting workshop for a struggling Blue Devil team during its most recent season. And while some of the players were surprised that Duke had selected a young and relatively inexperienced head coach, they were all happy with the hire.

“He came and talked to us about hitting,” sophomore Brett Bartles recalled. “He helped me a lot just in that one day, and so I’m really excited to have the opportunity to play for him.... It was a good hire.”

McNally’s nine years in the minor leagues seemed to be a strong selling point for many of the players.

“The biggest thing with him is his pro ball experience,” sophomore Jim Gallagher said. “He played nine seasons and even coached at that level. So he knows what it’s like to be at that level and what it takes to get there.”

At the collegiate level, however, McNally has never I held a coaching position, I nor does he have much expe- I rience in recruiting young players. Many of the other candidates for the position, on the other hand, had both.

“I was a little surprised,” I junior Corey Whiting said. “I I thought they would hire I somebody with more college I experience. I don’t know Me- I Nally too well, but I know he’s a great player and was successful at the college level... but I thought there were other candidates who looked better at least on paper.”

Many of the players said that McNally’s professional experi-

Duke hired one of its own to fill the coaching void left after Bill Hillier resigned from his position as head baseball coach May 25.

Sean McNally, a four-year letterman for the Blue Devils in the early 19905, will take the helm of a struggling program, Athletics Director Joe Alieva announced July 15 at a press conference.

“Sean represents things that we were looking for in a coach,” Alieva said. “He knows the game of baseball. He’ll be able to teach it, communicate what it’s like to be a Duke baseball player and, most importantly, sell young kids on the experience at Duke: the benefits of coming here and their development not only as a student-athlete but their development as a potential professional baseball player.”

McNally, 32, spent the last three seasons in various coaching capacities at the minor league level, most recently as manager of the Cleveland Indians’ Single A affiliate. He has no previous collegiate coaching experience.

After the Blue Devils ended last year —their seventh-straight losing season—with a 14-39 record, it is clear the task at hand for the young coach won’t be easy.

“It’s certainly going to be a process,” McNally said. ‘You measure winning in a lot of different ways, and I think every day we’re going to work to get better. I don’t have a definite time frame of how long that will take. My eyes are wide open, and I know it’s a very competitive league, having played in it, watched it and followed it.”

Alieva and McNally said turning the program around will begin with recruiting better players—an area in which McNally has no experience. But the Rye, N.Y., native said he has a network of connections he developed during his nine years playing professional baseball for six minor league organizations.

Alieva said the athletics department will provide the program with the financial resources to recruit nationally. And although McNally has yet to choose his staff of assistants, he expects they will bring recruiting experience.

Duke is “a place that I care a lot for, and I feel like when I talk to recruits and when I talk to perspective student-athletes, I’ll be talking about a life experience that I’ve SEE MCNALLY ON PAGE 19

The Sports Forum page enters its second year as part of The Chronicle’s sports section. The page, which will appear every Tuesday, will examine various issues being debated among sports fans nationwide. I hope that readers will take the opportunity to voice their own opinions and reactions by submitting letters throughout the year.

The sports section will also debut a new page that will include lesser-known news and notes about Duke’s Olympic sports.

The page, tentatively entided the “Blue Devil beat,” will run each Wednesday.

This year promises to be an incredibly exciting one for Duke athletics. At least nine teams have legitimate chances to contend for national titles in their respective sports, while the others continue to show steady improvement. It is our goal to provide readers with the most indepth and comprehensive coverage ofall ofDuke’s 26 varsity teams.

In recognition of the Blue Devils’ fifth place finish in the Directors’ Cup last year, we devoted the center spread of this issue (pages 12-13) to an examination of the biggest moments in Duke sports from the 2004-2005 school year.

nbaagelimit

igiblefor the draft, and he must wait a full year after his class graduatesfrom high school. International players must be 19 to enter the draft.

Basketball personnel and aficionados nationwide have voiced their opinions, both in support and against, the new age limit. The Chronicle examines some of them here:

New limit just doesn't make any difference

So you are 18 years old. You just graduated high school, and you have decided that college is not for you. Maybe you go and work in your uncle’s garage as a mechanic. Maybe you enlist in the Marines and get ready to fight in Iraq.

What’s that, you want to play in the NBA? Are you crazy? You’re not ready to be compensated generously for playing a boy’s game. You need one more year and then you will be ready.

The NBA’s 19 year-old age minimum is a load of crap from a constitutional perspective, and unfortunately, it’s not going to help college basketball.

Memories of Carmelo Anthony and visions of the next Lebron making D-l athletes look like schoolboys—even if only for one year —have gotten some fans excited.

If you are one of those fans, chill out.

Anthony was the exception, delivering Syracuse and Coach Jim Boeheim that elusive NCAA Championship. For every Carmelo there are twenty versions of Stephen Marbury and Tim Thomas—players who leave after one season, send their programs into downward spirals

and cost coaches their jobs The next Lebron, if he even exists, will never take a Sociology 142 final or make it to a Sweet 16 press conference. Oh you think he will, huh? I think I’ve got just the guy to shut you up.

“What if Lebron James was not allowed to play [in the NBA], would he still have gotten his Nike contract?” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I think he would have. So I don’t think he is going to college. So what does he do?”

Great question, Coach K. From where I’m sitting, that player has two legit options for that one year. He can go to Europe and get paid while competing against lesser talent. But as much as this would do for an 18 year old’s maturity, I don’t see these guys going for it. What he will do is play in the NBA Developmental League, which will be the NBA’s version of a minor league. Then comes the ripple effect.

If the very best players go to the Developmental League, then the second and third-tier players coming out of high school—guys with a very realistic chance of making the NBA eventually—will begin to follow and fortify the league. As the NBDL rises, college basketball will fall.

Now the ball is in the court of the NCAA. College basketball needs to become a more attractive option in order to prevent a mass migration. Maybe—dare we say it—college basketball players should start making money.

“It sounds silly to say the college game isn’t good for guys, but there may be some truth to it If you’re good enough to play 10 to 15 minutes a night and practice every day, you’ll get dramatically better being in the NBA compared to staying in school.”

RECRUITING

Age limit has minimal impact on Duke recruiting by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Imagine if Kobe Bryant or Shaun Liv-

ingston had come to Duke. Would the Blue Devils have more than just three national championships? How dominant would Amare Stoudamire have been if he had spent his rookie season playing for John Calipari and Memphis?

Or would Dwight anah/cic ciii(3iy>i2i Howard and T.R. Smith have made last year’s North Carolina Tar Heels, already national champions, one of the most dominant teams in NCAA history?

There’s little doubt that an NBA age limit could have dramatically changed the last 10 years of college basketball. But now that the freshly instituted 19-year old age limit is a reality, how will college teams adjust their recruiting strategies?

At a place like Duke, the answer is probably not much. As one of college basketball’s most desired destinations and with six high school All-Americans on the roster next season, Duke and head coach Mike Krzyzewski already recruit the nation’s top players, with few exceptions.

“In the last five years or so we have not recruited a small pool of players each year that we have just forecasted to be guys who would go,” Krzyzewski said. “People in this pool aren’t necessarily better right now than the people we’re recruiting, in fact some of them aren’t as good. But they have the physical characteristics that the NBA is

looting for—potential.”

In other words, the Blue Devils probably won’t be making heavy recruiting overtures to every top player in the class. None

Headcoach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff will likely not change their recruiting strategies, despite theage limit. of Duke’s three verbal commitments for the class of 2006—-Jon Scheyer, Brian Zoubek and Gerald Henderson—were early entry candidates, and Krzyzewski said he would never recruit a player who has already set a timetable for when he’ll begin his professional career even before stepping foot on a college campus.

Duke has already been witness to the ef-

fects that early exit can have on a basketball team, as evidenced by the dearth of senior leadership the Blue Devils will face in 2007 and 2008.

“With Louie [Deng] going after one year, Kris Humphries never got here, Shaun didn’t come. You’ve got three guys that potentially could give you 12 years and we got one,” Krzyzewski said. ‘What that did is we

•

•

couldn’t recruit anybody else, so now we’ve got a team right now that has seniors, one sophomore, because Dave probably won’t play, and freshmen. We’ve got to be careful.”

This is not to say, however, that the Blue Devils will not remain completely unaffected by the new limit. The new limit may embolden Duke to take a few more chances with the phenoms instead of eschewing possible early entry players entirely.

For instance, the Blue Devils are in need of an athletic power forward to finish out their class of 2006. The class contains many attractive options—Duke is rumored to be recruiting Alabama forward Stanley Robinson and New Jersey’s Lance Thomas—but the new age limit could push the coaching staff toward undecided Tennessee phenom Brandan Wright. The 6-foot-9, 200-pound Wright, one of the top-three players in his class, would have been a likely lottery pick without an age limit.

Wright’s top-notch rebounding and shotblocking abilities could make the Blue Devils serious national title contenders in 2007 even without the four seniors who will graduate this year. And with top forwards such as Gani Lawal and Kyle Singler waiting in the class of 2007, Duke could be wellequipped to handle an early departure.

Now that Wright will be ineligible for the NBA draft for one year after high school, Duke can recruit him even harder with the security that a commitment will result in his almost certain presence on campus, a luxury Krzyzewski did not have with Livingston.

Although the new age limit won’tresult in a complete overhaul of Duke’s recruiting, it will likely keep the Blue Devils recruiting at the top of the class for superstar talent.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Shooting for the future, players intern in NYC by

Alex Fanaroff

THE CHRONICLE

—

Most Duke students with summer in-

ternships at New York investment banks spend their free time on the job pondering important questions such as “Which bar am I going to tonight?” or “How did I get lucky enough to land an internship in New York City?”

For Duke forward Lee Melchionni, a summer intern at Credit Suisse First Boston, thoughts are a little different.

“Everyday, I’m sitting at my desk thinking I should be working out,” Melchionni said, adding that when he took the job he worried he would not be able to find time to play basketball. “But it’s the best of both worlds: I’ve been able to work and maintain my fitness level.”

Melchionni and Lindsey Harding—a guard on the women’s basketball team and summer intern for CBS Sports—have eschewed the traditional summer plans of their high profile teammates. Rather than work out and take summer classes at Duke or play in the USA Basketball program, the two have opted for on-the-job training.

For his part, head coach Mike Krzyzewski has been true to his American Express commercial pledge to “arm his players for life”—just like he was when former Duke All-Americans Shane Battier and Elton Brand took advantage of summer internships.

‘You don’t have to play basketball all the time. In fact, it’s better to take a little bit of a break,” Krzyzewski said. “Sometimes working in these internships, too, they have to handle themselves well. You have to show up on time; you have to dress

ing up for work at 6:30 a.m. and leaving after 5 p.m. His program lasts 10 weeks one week of training followed by three, three-week rotations. He shadows established investment bankers, sits at different desks and tries to learn as much as possible.

When he leaves CSFB’s Manhattan offices, Melchionni’s day is far from over.

The sharpshooting forward promised Krzyzewski he would maintain his training regimen and play basketball while away for the summer.

“It’s definitely a big time commitment,” Melchionni said. “Between working and working out, it doesn’t leave a lot of time to do anything else.

“First, I want to play basketball after graduation, but I can’t do that forever.... I know I can’t eat basketball. This is only going to benefit me when it comes time to get a real job.”

Along with the additional time commitments after work, Melchionni’s basketball prowess has created a few interesting moments around the office.

“Like from the first time I met the other interns, going around the room introducing ourselves to the group, there were some big basketball fans who said, ‘Hey, I know you.’

“It helps you in the world ofbusiness to have your name known like that, but at the same time you have to make sure everyone knows that you’re not there because you’re an athlete —you’re there to work and learn.”

Harding has also had her share of recognition at work. As a part of her job

Lee Melchionni has spent the summer in New York City as an intern for Credit Suisse First Boston. well. It’s a business. I think they grow up; it’s not just us making them. It’s the situation making them grow up.”

In addition to the real-world values an internship like Melchionni’s can teach a young man, Krzyzewski also said players destined for professional basketball can benefit from an experience in the working

world. The Hall-of-Fame coach said Battier’s NBA earning potential has been increased greatly by the confidence he gained working with marketing firms during his Duke summers.

GOLF

Coaches find success in different ways by

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE

It has been more than two decades since the Duke golf program, either men’s or women’s, has had a head coaching change. Over those years, men’s coach Rod Myers and women’s coach Dan Brooks—who combined have more than 50 years of coaching experience at Duke—have sculpted their teams into perennial contenders and done so in programs that seem remarkably similar, but they are quite difft :ali

the similarities end there.

Brooks’ program has undoubtedly experienced more success. His team captured its third national title in the past seven years, while the men’s team placed eighth at the NCAAs—the program’s best finish in Myers’ tenure. But at the root of this discrepancy lies differences in NCAA rules, the coaches’ recruiting tactics and the current state of each sport.

men’s game, the talent pool is large enough that only the truly great players get a full scholarship, and it’s entirely possible to field a contender with none ofyour players receiving full scholarships.”

Myers said he can rely on several walkons to join his squad in addition to scholarship golfers, but in the women’s game, scholarships get doled out to all the talented players, leaving almost no college-level players to aid Brooks’ depth woes.

“I’m given three spots by the Duke admissions office, and I do my best to fill all three of those spots every year,” Myers said.

“I like to have 12 guys on my team in a given season, and since I don’t even have enough full scholarships to field a team, I’ve relied on splitting the scholarships and walk-ons throughout the years.”

WOMEN'S GOLF

NCAA champs take trip to White House Lang turns professional after 2nd place finish at U.S. Open by

WASHINGTON

Patrick Byrnes THE CHRONICLE Seven weeks after their NCAA

DAVID BOHRER/WHUE

National champions on the women's golf team met with President GeorgeW. Bush July 12 and presented him with a Duke golf club cover.

Championship in Sunriver, Ore., the Blue Devils traveled to the nation’s capitol where President George W. Bush honored them. Duke met privately with Bush inside the White House, then gathered on the South Lawn for Bush’s address to the 15 teams that won national championships this spring.

‘With national championships in 1999, 2002 and 2005, Coach Dan Brooks of the Duke women’s golf team has now won three national championships with the Blue Devils,” Bush said. “That ties him with Coach K. Therefore, he shall be known as ‘Coach B’.”

Brooks said although it was great to return to the White House for his third time, he hoped his new nickname would not catch on.

“Honestly, I didn’t find it that clever,” Brooks said. “I don’t plan on adopting that title.”

Liz Janangelo, Jennifer Pandolfi, captain Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh and NCAA individual-champion Anna Grzebien were on hand for the festivities. Brittany Lang, the Blue Devils’ top-ranked golfer, was an obvious absence.

Lang decided to turn pro and join the LPGA after just two seasons with the Blue Devils.

“Brittany wants to focus on playing well and taking every moment to practice,” Brooks said. We tried to make plans for her to come with us, but in the end, she decided to pass on the chance to meet the President and take time to prepare for an upcoming tournament.”

The sophomore recently competed as an amateur in the U.S. Open and shocked the field by finishing the opening round in first place. Lang remained at the top of her game for the final three rounds and finished the tournament in second. Coincidentally, she tied with 17-yearold Morgan Pressel, who last winter had given a verbal commitment to attend Duke, but now also appears to be headed to the LPGA. After her stellar performance, Pressel asked the LPGA to let her turn pro despite an age limit of 18. In an unusual ruling announced July 13, the LPGA decided Pressel can go to qualifying school in the fall, but she cannot officially join the tour until her 18th birthday in May, even if she earns the privilege .

“I completely understand the actions of both players,”

Coach G guides USA, Warier at Ul9 Worlds Goestenkors discusses experiences working with rivals, future PG by

Alex Fanaroff

THE CHRONICLE

Coming off a season in which her team reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament despite a roster of only eight players, Gail Goestenkors could have taken it easy this off-season. Instead, she chose to challenge herself this summer —and said she’s relishing her decision.

In late April, the 12th-year Blue Devil head coach was selected to coach the USA Women’s Basketball Ul9 World Championship team. The team, composed of the top rising freshmen and sophomores in the nation, is competing in the FIBA Women’s Ul9 World Championships in Tunis, Tunisia July 15-24.

The team got off to a good start July 15, beating Russia —one of the tournament’s top squads—9B-65, in its first game of the tournament. A fast start gave the U.S. a 24-7 lead and it never looked back. After the game, Goestenkors praised her team’s defensive effort and effective post game.

Team USA began its game against Congo July 16 in similar fashion, eventually winning the contest 124-37 and breaking or tying numerous team records along the way. The team’s 124 points were the most scored by any USA squad since 1993, when they put 109 on the

board against Japan.

The team then improved to 3-0 with a 9468 win over Serbia & Montenegro Sunday.

Goestenkors’ squad has a heavy ACC flavor. Duke’s soon-to-be freshman Abby Waner—the 2005 Gatorade and McDonald’s National Player of the Year—-joins North Carolina’s Erlana Larkins, Maryland’s Crystal Langhorne and Virginia’s Sharnee’ Zoll, all rising sophomores, on the roster.

The team won four consecutive exhibition games in the United States before splitting a pair of pre-toumament contests in Budapest against Hungary’s Ul9 team.

Waner has started at guard in three of the six games, playing just over 15 minutes and scoring 5.7 points per contest.

Stanford’s Candace Wiggins, the country’s co-freshman of the year last season, captains the team along with Langhorne and Larkins.

The Chronicle’s Alex Fanaroff spoke with Goestenkors by phone just before she boarded the plane from Budapest to Tunis to ask her about her summer.

This is your fourth experience as a coach in the USA basketball program. Why is coaching against international competition so appealing to you?

Because it’s a great challenge anytime I have the opportunity to coach with USA Basketball. I learn and grow so much from the experience of coaching internationally, and I want to continue

learn and grow. I’ve more about myself as a person and as a coach, brought back good things to help the team be on the cutting edge and help Duke win games. to

What has it been like to coach Waner? What kind of advantage does that give you?

It’s been ideal for both of us. I’m learning a lot about her; she’s learning a lot about me as a coach and as a person —the way I coach, the way I teach and what’s going to be expected of her.

Some of the players on the team are some of Duke’s fiercest rivals during the regular season. What is it like coaching players you know that you will be doing your best to beat a few months from now?

It’s been a great experience. I’ve found out more about these players while I’ve been coaching them.

Erlana is one of those fierce competitors. Crystal is a wonderful person, she’s pretty special. And

is a great leader and a tough competitor. I’ve learned a lot about them; I know what they can do.

How has the team looked so far in the exhibition games?

We’ve had great days and great games and some tough days. We’re still learning and growing as a team and

building

chemistry.

That takes time, and we need more time together.

What can you take away from the experience with this team and bring to Duke next season?

We have a really good post game on this team —I’d like to integrate that inside-outside game at Duke. There are a lot of similarities between this team and Duke’s team. We don’t have a true point guard [on the Ul9 team] and neither did Duke last year. We have 13 very good players on this team, and Duke will have 13 players next year that are all very good.

There’s a lot I can learn, and ultimately my goal is to do whatever’s necessary for Duke to win a national championship.

On heels of Directors’ Cup success, Duke Athle by

Mike Van Pelt

THE CHRONICLE

One national championship, three runners-up and seven other top-10 finishes

made last year the greatest in recent memory for Duke sports.

The Blue Devils finished the 2004-2005 academic year in a school-best fifth place in the annual Directors’ Cup competition, which evaluates schools’ overall athletic programs based on NCAA championship finishes.

While the athletic department enjoyed unprecedented success this year, however, Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said the department is focusing its resources on fully endowing athletic scholarships in an effort to ensure prosperity for the future.

“The University is in the very early stages of planning for the financial aid initiative that will be announced late this fall or early next year, and, as a result, that is a very high priority of ours—the financial aid initiative

and scholarships,” said Tom Coffman, director of athletics development. “[Once endowed,] what you’re really talking about is being in a position to raise money to provide for the margin of excellence, and that’s the difference between being in the top five somedmes and being there every year.”

Athletic programs nationwide are securing their long-term financial stability with their endowments, which provide a source of income from the interest they accrue each year.

The 235 scholarships that Duke currently offers to its student-athletes cost more than $ll million each year to fund. The athletic program’s current endowment—the fifth largest in the country according to a 2003 Bloomberg News study—generates approximately $2.7 million annually in endowment income. The money is devoted solely to athletes’ financial aid.

But an additional $9 million is necessary to cover the cost of scholarships each year,

placing a tremendous burden on the Iron Dukes, the organization responsible for collecting gifts for scholarships.

“Part of the risk is that if you can’t cover [financial aid] through annual gifts, or if for some reason your annual gifts dip for a year—for whatever reason—you have to cover it out of your operating budget,” Associate Athletic Director Mitch Moser said of relying on donors to finance scholarships.

“The endowment income is not going to take a dip. It’s like having an insurance policy.”

A full endowment would also give the department more economic freedom, allowing it to increase its recruiting budgets and hire better assistant coaches, Alieva said.

With an athletic endowment more than twice as large as any other school in the country, Stanford has proven that full endowment can translate into success in athletic competition. The school, which has won 11 straight Directors’ Cups, offers the

NCAA’s maximum allotment of scholarships in each ofits 35 varsity sports.

Stanford has also won 89 NCAA Championships. Duke, in comparison, has won seven.

Former Stanford Athletic Director Chuck Taylor had the foresight to start endowing his-program in the 19605. With the prosperous market created by the Silicon Valley technology boom in the 19905, the athletic department’s endowment grew from $42 million in 1990 to $250 million by 2000.

“Stanford has all their scholarships fully endowed and that gives them so much leeway to do things with their money in other areas,” Alieva said. “We have to spend so much of our time and effort raising annual fund dollars to pay for our scholarships. If we had that all covered through endowment, it would free up so much money that we could do a lot of other things.”

Although full endowment would create numerous benefits, achieving it will be a dif-

—by Sarah Kwak, Said! Chen and Tom Mendel

sfocuses on scholarship endowment campaign ficult and lengthy task, Alieva admitted. But he is confident it can be accomplished.

The cost of endowing a full scholarship at Duke recendy increased to $1 million, as tuition rose to more than $43,000 per year. Since Duke has just 60 of its scholarships endowed, it would take an additional $lBO million to close the funding gap—with that figure increasing as the cost of a Duke education rises.

Many donors are also reluctant to give for endowment, preferring to make donations that will produce immediate tangible or visible effects.

“Endowment is not sexy for people to give to,” Alieva said. “It’s just not something that people totally understand and totally feel like you need it. People love to give money for buildings, people understand the need to give money to pay scholarships on an annual basis. It just seems like its been harder to convince them to give money for endowment.”

Nevertheless, seven of the 13 men’s bas-

ketball scholarships have been endowed by the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund, an organization that was formed in 1999. One ofits primary goals is the endowment of player scholarships, coaching salaries and operating expenses for the men’s basketball program.

As the most visible entity of the Duke athletic department, the men’s basketball team was a natural place to start to endow scholarships, Alieva said.

Fully endowing the basketball program including the nearly $5 million in operating expenses—is the Legacy Fund’s ultimate goal, said Mike Gragg, the director of the organization. And if it meets its lofty goal, the Legacy Fund will be responsible for the nation’s first completely endowed program.

The Legacy Fund’s objective is an integral part of the athletic department’s overall success because it would free up money that could be used by other programs, men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski added.

—

“If Duke puts a sport out there, we should try to have full scholarships for it, and we should try and endow all those scholarships—forget that there is even a Directors’ Cup—just because we want to be good in all of them,” Krzyzewski said. “Duke should be able to give maximum support to any initiative it starts whether it be in the academic world, the athletic world or the medical world.”

Alieva said he shares Krzyzewski’s vision and hopes to increase the number of scholarships Duke offers in its Olympic sports to the maximum NCAA allotment. But he realizes his goals are financially infeasible without endowment.

“This is long term, but I would love to fully scholarship all of our sports,” Alieva said. “But we can’t do that until we take care of the ones we have now.”

The increased priority placed on scholarship endowment comes on the heels of a successful decade-long capital improvement

campaign. Nearly all of Duke’s 26 varsity sports have benefited from facility upgrades, including the construction of the Yoh Football Center and improvements to Cameron Indoor Stadium and Koskinen Stadium, where the soccer and lacrosse teams play.

Duke’s Board of Trustees also approved the construction of a basketball practice facility that will house the athletic department’s academic service offices and a multipurpose event room. The project—for which Duke is still securing funding—is the last major capital project in the works, but other facilities will continue to receive minor upgrades, Alieva said.

“In the past few years, our number one focus was trying to improve the facilities, so now [we’re] focused on endowment,” Alieva said. “I think the facilities that we’ve been able to put into place Jtave helped us to recruit the kind of kids that you need to win championships and go to Final Fours.”

GERALD H

Brandan Wright has led his high school team to three state titles in his first three years.

Duke battles UNC, UK for top power forward by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

With three highly touted commitments in place for the recruiting class of 2006, Duke’s

coaching staff can afford to go after its “reach” prospect —the top-rated power forward in the country.

Brandan Wright, a 6-foot-10 prospect out ofBrentwood, Tenn., is a lanky inside-outside threat with incredible athleticism and surprisingly polished skills. The lefty is very active on the boards and with the 7-foot-3 wingspan he boasts, is an excellent shot blocker.

The rising senior has already enjoyed a tremendous high school career at Brentwood Academy. He has led his school to three straight state championships —Brentwood Academy had never won a state tide before Brandan’s freshman year—and was named Tennessee’s Mr. Basketball the last two years.

As a junior he averaged 20.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.4 blocks and shot the ball at a 63 percent clip from the field.

“He can do so much, he’s just very skilled,” said George Pitts, Wright’s high school coach.

“He passes the ball extremely well and he’s very unselfish.”

Not surprisingly, Wright, who has drawn comparisons to former Georgia Tech star Chris Bosh, has garnered much attention from top programs. Wright has enough potential that he would likely have been a high draft choice had he been able to skip college, but his class is the first to be affected by the newly implemented NBA age limit increase. Under the new rules a player must be at least 19 and wait one year after his class graduates from high school before he can enter the draft.

Wright has reportedly narrowed his top choices down to Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina but has not publicly declared a favorite. He still says a number of other schools

are in the running. Several sources have reported that the top three schools have offered the two-time Tennessee Mr. Basketball a

scholarship.

The main concern about Wright is his strength —he packs only 200 pounds onto his thin frame. Pitts said Wright has put on more than 20 pounds over the past three years, but concedes that he must continue to gain strength to prevent getting pushed off the block in college.

“Brandan is a smart kid and he knows that he needs to get stronger for the next level,” Pitts said. “It may take a couple of years, but he is a hard worker and he has taken some big strides here.”

IfWright does put on the muscle needed and improves his perimeter shot and ballhandling, he could be a premier all-around threat—an extremely rare weapon in the college game.

Despite signing five recruits for the recruiting class of 2005 and already receiving verbal commitments from three members of the class of 2006, Duke is able to offer Wright a scholarship because the five-eight rule was rescinded last year by the NCAA. That bylaw limited programs from offering more than five scholarships per year and eight over a two-year period, but now schools can offer, as many as they have available. Duke will have at least four scholarships available for the recruiting class of 2006 because of this year’s large senior class.

Should he decide to attend Duke, Wright would have the chance to develop alongside frontcourt mates ’O5 signees Eric Boateng and Josh Mcßoberts, as well as verbal commit and fellow classmate Brian Zoubek. If Mcßoberts, however, decides to leave school for the NBA after one year—as some scouts have projected he might —Wright’s status will quickly go from luxury to necessity.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Ewing, Randolph playing for NBA roster spots by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

In the world of Duke men’s basketball, the focus is already on this year’s team which boasts a star-studded incoming recruiting class and figures to be close to, if not at the top of, the preseason national rankings. But even with the high hopes for the upcoming season, the Blue Devils will be without two key contributors from last season’s team, which won the ACC Tournament tide and made its eighth-straight run to the NCAA Sweet 16.

On NBA Draft Night June 28, Duke’s Daniel Ewing waited hours before hearing his name called by the Los Angeles Clippers with the second pick of the second round. His former teammate Shavlik Randolph, who surprised many with his decision to leave Duke and turn pro, went undrafted but received an invitation to train with the Philadelphia 76ers this summer.

There was some speculation after the draft that Randolph, who still has yet to hire an agent, would ask Duke for reinstatement—a seldom-used loophole to allow undrafted college players who have not accepted money from teams or agents —to return to school.

Randolph, however, decided to continue pursuing his dream of playing in the NBA and his family announced a week after the draft that he had accepted an invitation to work out with the 76ers. The move seemed curious at first because Philadelphia is not fielding a summer-league team this year. But the Randolph family felt that the 76ers offered the best opportunity to catch on and sign an NBA deal.

PETER GEBHARD AND BROOKS FICKE/THE CHRONICLE

Shaviik Randolph (left) was invited to work out with the Philadelphia 76ers this summer after going undrafted June 28. Meanwhile, Daniel Ewing averaged eight points per game in the Vegas Summer League for theLos Angeles Clippers—the team that selected him with the 32nd pick in thedraft.

“With the summer league, you play, and it’s done in a couple weeks,” Randolph’s father, Kenny, said. “But with [Philadelphia] Shav has the opportunity to work out for the whole summer and into training camp.”

4 players leave program

after freshman season Leslie Cooper THE CHRONICLE

by

As the football team prepares for its 2005 campaign, it’ll have to do so without four members of the 2004 recruiting class, each of whom has chosen to transfer from Duke after one season.

Wide receivers Chancellor Young and Corey Thompson, cornerback Daniel Charbonnet and offensive lineman Izzy Bauta were among the 24 recruits signed by head coach Ted Roof in his first full season at the helm of the Duke football program. Roof could not be reached for comment regarding why the four players chose to leave the Blue Devils.

Young, a high school All-American, was widely regarded as the best recruit in the 2004 signing class. The Woodinville, Wash., native saw playing time in all 11 games last season. In addition to contributing two receptions while positioned at wide receiver, he made eight tackles on special teams.

In a 2004 signing day press conference, Roof described Young as having “a great pedigree and a solid family.” The wideout’s father, Charles Young, was a first-round draft choice by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1973 and played 13 seasons in the NFL. In 2004, Roof said that Young’s choice to sign with the Blue Devils gave the program “the stamp of approval for a lot of NFL players’ kids.”

Of the four first-year transfers, however, Thompson made the greatest contribution to Duke during his freshman season. In 10

As Duke's first five-star commitment in decades, Oghobaase is figuratively and literally one of the biggest incoming freshmen in Blue Devil history. A physical, run-stuffing defensive tackle, Oghobaase is already as big as many NFL tackles and enters Duke with all the physical tools necessary to wreak havoc on ACC running games. Although it remains to be seen if he can live up to his mammoth expectations, Oghobaase figures to start immediately on a defensive line ravaged by injuries last season.

WOMEN'S TENNIS

Duke welcomes UCLA transfer by

Well Waggenspack THE CHRONICLE

For the second time in as many years, the Duke women’s tennis program benefited from UCLA’s inability to retain its hard-court stars.

Head coach Jamie Ashworth announced June 8 that former Bruin Daniela Bercek, who finished the 20042005 season with a 14-5 record and ranked 10th in the nation in singles while playing at the first position for UCLA, will join the Blue Devil squad in the fall.

“What we struggled with last year is where she really excels, so she’ll make a huge impact in both singles and doubles,” Ashworth said of Bercek.

Entering her junior season in Durham, Bercek will reunite with former Bruin teammate Jackie Carleton who transferred from UCLA following her sophomore campaign in 2004. The duo led the Bruins to an ap-

DAN RYAN/THE

pearance in the NCAA Championship match before Carleton’s departure.

The addition of the two-time All-American will help to secure the top of the Blue Devil lineup after No. 1 singles player Katie Blaszak graduated in the spring.

Bercek will also be an asset in doubles play, an area in which Duke stumbled late last spring. During her time at UCLA, Bercek posted a 57-17 doubles record and won the NCAA Doubles Championships her freshman year with partner Lauren Fisher.

Bercek ended last season ranked fourth in doubles with partner Riza Zalameda but was upset in the second round of the NCAA Championships.

Bercek is the sixth starter to leave the UCLA program in the last four years. She joins three incoming freshmen for the 2005-06 season who will look to aid the team in rebounding from last year’s disappointing season.

Head coach Ted Roof and the football team took advantage of a new NCAA rule that allows schools to play 12 games each season.

Blue Devils book game with Irish by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

It was the luck of the Devils that set up a meeting with the Irish.

Duke football will be taking advantage of a new rule that allows Division I-A teams to schedule 12 regular season games, beginning in 2006. The Blue Devils have already used the additional slot to arrange a trip to South Bend to take on Notre Dame during the 2007 campaign.

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors passed the 12th-game measure by an 8-2 margin in April. The ACC was the only conference from which representatives opposed the proposal in both the Management Council and Board ofDirectors. Nevertheless, many ACC teams, including Duke, are expected to utilize the extra-game option now that it has passed.

Duke Associate Athletic Director Chris Kennedy said that the program is still searching for a 12th opponent for the 2006 season, an unusual situation since football matchups are normally slated several years in advance.

“We try to schedule schools' that are comparable to us, academically and athletically,” Kennedy said. “Believe it or not, scheduling a football game now for 2006 is very short notice.”

The Notre Dame visit means national television exposure—all of Notre Dame’s home games are televised by NBC—and a likely large payout for the program.

Some question the feasibility of the Blue Devils, who finished 2-9 last year, keeping up with the second-winningest Division I-A program in history. Kennedy, however, said he does not expect the matchup—the fourth overall between the two schools but the first since 1966—to be one-sided.

“We definitely believe that even before and certainly by 2007 we are going to be competitive with high-caliber teams like Notre Dame,” Kennedy said.

The Fighting Irish may not be the only prominent opponent scheduled by Duke in the future, as the availability of an extra game has allowed greater non-conference options. Kennedy said that his optimistic outlook towards the football program’s development has been reinforced by interest in playing at Duke from upperechelon programs.

“Teams that usually would want us to come to them for a one-game deal are starting to look for a home and home, which says a lot about how our program is starting to be viewed from the outside,” Kennedy said.

Such interest may not have been present if not for SEE SCHEDULE ON PAGE 22

Accomplished Blue Devil returns as assistant coach by

about winning a national championship. “This past year, we knocked on the door. This year we’ll kick it in.”

During his four years at Duke, the team earned three NCAA Tournament bids and won two ACC championships.

The two-time captain was named AllACC and All-American three times each—including first team All-America in 2002 and 2003—and was tabbed the midfielder of the year as a junior.

He was drafted second overall by the Major League Lacrosse’s Rochester Rattlers and continues to play for them and the USA National Team. He is also involved in a series of lacrosse business ventures. Despite his other engagements, Cassese said his “number one commitment is to Duke.”

THE CHRONICLE

As soon as former assistant coach Joe AJberici accepted the head coaching position at Army June 15, Duke knew exactly where to turn. The next day head coach Mike Pressler called Kevin Cassese, the 2001 ACC Player of the Year and one of the most accomplished Blue Devils in history.

Having kept in touch with the coaching staff and former teammates, Cassese jumped at the opportunity to return to his alma mater after serving as an assistant this past year at Stony Brook. He is expected to work primarily with the offensive unit.

“Kevin is arguably the most dedicated player in Duke lacrosse history, and when this position came open he was without question our first choice,” Pressler said. “[He] is a rising star in the coaching profession. Speaking for our alumni and players, we couldn’t be more pleased with this hire. We feel Kevin certainly will help us build on the success we experienced during the 2005 season.”

Last year, the Blue Devils set an NCAA record with 17 wins and advanced to their first national title game before losing to Johns Hopkins 9-8 May 30. In addition to the comfort he felt with the Duke program, Cassese also mentioned the team’s recent successes as another lure. “[I hope to] achieve a goal that I never had a chance to do,” Cassese said

Smith returns to assist head coach Jay Lapidus, under whom Smith won a school-record 119 career singles matches while leading the Blue Devils to a four-year 96-11 record.

Meanwhile, the Duke women’s tennis team announced the hiring of Stephanie Nickitas as an assistant coach July 11. Nickitas arrives after three seasons acting as assistant women’s coach at Harvard.

young

recruits

McNally, who is one of the Blue Devils’ best hitters of all-time, emphasized the importance of developing the young talent on the team to help his players reach a higher level. Some of the players acknowledged the differences in McNally’s approach, as compared to the style offormer head coach Bill Hillier, who had often put a premium on winning at all costs.

“I think [Hillier] was feeling a lot of pressure given the status of the program,” senior Adam Murray said. “I think McNally can afford the time to develop the player. Even with that being said, though, I don’t think McNally is going to be grooming players for the future. We’re going to find the balance between the two.”

In addition to his professional experience, the 32-yearold McNally will bring youthful energy to the program, something the team said it needed. Murray and Athletics Director Joe Alieva had both mentioned Duke’s success with young coaches like lacrosse coaches Mike Pressler and Kerstin Kimel and women’s golf head coach Dan Brooks, who just collected his third*National Championship this year.

“Duke has hired plenty of coaches who are young and don’t have much experience, but once they get their feet wet they have often done a good job,” Murray said. “[McNally] is young and really excited for the job. He’s going to bring a lot of energy into the program. That’s going to translate to current players and in recruidng, not only for next year but for years to come.”

Although McNally has missed the first two official weeks of college baseball recruitment, he is confident that he will quickly make up for lost time. He said after he familiarizes himself with his current players, he’ll get on the phone recruiting his future ones.

MCNALLY from page 1 had and not something that I’ve heard about. That’s very special to me,” McNally said.

The coaching position became available when Hillier resignecTafter six disappointing seasons with the Blue Devils. The team finished last in the ACC four times under his watch.

Alieva and Hillier agreed in 2004 that if the team’s performance this past year did not show significant progress it would be Hillier’s last season in Durham.

In addition to the team’s poor performance, several former Duke baseball players’ allegations of coaching misconduct and steroid abuse were published in a story in The Chronicle April 15.

The announcement of McNally’s hiring ended a lengthy but diligent search for a replacement, Alieva said. A field of more than 100 applicants, including a number of top assistant coaches and recruiting coordinators from major programs across the country, was narrowed to six for the interview process.

The selection of such a young and inexperienced coach came as a surprise to some.

“I knew there were a lot of people very interested in this job all year long and then once the job became available even more so,” said Will Kimmey, who covers college baseball for Baseball America. “A guy that played at Duke was more important than a guy that had a good wealth ofexperience. I don’tknow how it’s going to play out. Maybe he’ll be great, but you have no track record to look at. But there were a lot of candidates that did have a track record.”

Kimmey added that simultaneously learning the ropes of recruiting and managing a team in the highly competitive ACC would be daunting for any new coach. He said it will be a few years before McNally’s success and his hiring can be evaluated.

McNally’s time as a Duke player was one of the most prosperous periods for the baseball program, as it went 134-82 in his four seasons from 1991-1994. His senior-year .408 batting average is the highest single-season mark in Duke’s history.

McNally also worked in Duke’s athletic administration as an academic advisor in 2003-2004.

Chris Kennedy, Duke’s senior associate athletics director who chaired the search committee, emphasized throughout the hiring process that the Blue Devils were looking for someone who understood what the studentathlete experience was like at an elite academic institution and would be able to convey that to his players.

“It’s really a big relief and a blessing just to have this opportunity,” Ewing said on draft night. “It is a good situation to be in, especially with some familiar faces on the team that can help me with the transition from college to the NBA.” The Clippers, who are coached by former Duke parent Mike Dunleavy Sr., have made a practice in recent years of drafting or acquiring players with Blue Devil ties.

Global Health: Disease in Time & Space Spring 2006

Livingston, who had signed a national letter of intent to play for Duke before deciding to enter the NBA draft straight from high school.

“I don’t know if there’s a conscious effort to draft Duke players,” said Gary Sacks, the assistant director of player personnel for the Clippers. “But you know with Duke players you’re getting hard-working, good people from a good program. They have great coaching, a high-level of play in the ACC, and at Duke they develop a winning attitude.”

Ewing struggled shooting the ball, averaging just eight points per game, but was among the summer league’s leaders in steals. The Clippers view Ewing as more of a shooting guard than a point guard but value his versatility. They have experimented by playing Ewing alongside Livingston, with Ewing playing off the ball on offense and guarding the opposing team’s ball-handler on the defensive end.

Having been picked in the second round, Ewing did not receive a guaranteed contract from the Clippers as those players selected in the first round are awarded. Sacks said he was drafted with “the intent to sign,” but also noted that anything could happen.

INTERNSHIPS from page 6 she met with WNBA President Donna Orender and Renee Brown, the league’s director of player personnel. Harding said Brown “could tell me everything about me.” The junior point guard also introduced herself to a graphic designer who had worked at a Duke women’s basketball game, and he promptly pulled up a computer file with all of her information in it.

Still, Harding said, the best part of her six-week internship has been everything she has learned working in the production department editing stories about athletes.

“I’ve always wanted to stay in sports after graduation,” Harding said. “It would be great to be a producer, and this experience will definitely help in the long run.”

Harding, like Melchionni, is participating in the internship while working hard to maintain her basketball skills.

She has been able to play basketball and work out at New York University every day after she leaves her job at CBS. Both players said their coaches were extremely supportive of their decisions to spend part of their summers away from Durham and their teammates—as long as they kept themselves in basketball shape while they were at it.

Harding, who was suspended from the team last season for undisclosed reasons, was given a stringent directive by her head coach, Gail Goestenkors.

“I told Lindsey she’d better do a good job so that companies would continue to hire women’s basketball players,” joked Goestenkors, who has supported forward Monique Currie and former player Michele Matyasovsky in their summer internships. “I’m glad that she’s taking advantage of the opportunity.”

Though demanding summer internships remain the road less traveled among Duke’s better-known athletes, both Melchionni and Harding know that they are better offfor choosing to pursue the paths they have taken.

“When I was looking at schools to attend, some school’s students were working at the mall or at restaurants during the summer,” Harding said. “A lot of Duke students were going to Wall Street internships and other jobs that are hard to get. I wanted to do something that is hard to get, that would look good on a resume and help me in the future.”

SCHEDULE from page 17 the new legislation. Under the previous rule, a 12th regular-season game could only be played when the calendar allotted 14 Saturdays between the set start and finish dates of the schedule, a situation that occurred in 2002 and 2003 but was not slated to appear again until 2008.

Kennedy said Duke already had 12 games in place for 2008 before the rule change.

The adopted rule allows schools to schedule the additional game even when only 13 Saturdays are available, eliminating a bye week for teams who choose to play the 12th game. The benefits of the 12th contest cited by supporters include increased flexibility in scheduling and additional revenue created by another game.

“I think it provides an option for those schools and conferences that choose to have the extra game, but at the same time it doesn’t require anyone to do so,” Board of Directors member Sidney McPhee said before the meetings.

“If you look at the football season with the basketball or soccer seasons, it is not a very long season in comparison, so I don’t think it keeps our athletes out of the classroom for too long.”

Brooks said. “While I feel a college degree is always a good choice, anyone could see the excitement on both of their faces at the U.S. Open, and I believe there is nothing wrong with taking advantage ofwhat the pro game has to offer.”

In her two years at Duke, Lang captured six individual tides, including two ACC Championships, the 2005 ACC Player of the Year Award and the 2004 National Golf Coaches Association Rookie of the Year Award. She finished her sophomore season ranked No. 2 in the country

by Golfweek.

“I loved Duke and really learned a lot while I was there,” Lang wrote in an e-mail. “Even before our national championship, I’d pretty much decided to turn pro, and now I’m just excited to see what I can do at the next level.”

TRANSFERS from page 16 Washington. Spokesmen from both schools refused to confirm the reports. Thompson declined to speak with The Chronicle regarding his plans for next year, and Young could not be reached for comment.

Texas Tech confirmed that Daniel Charbonnet is currendy in Lubbock taking classes and will be a member of the Red Raiders in the fall, although as a transfer he must sit out this season because of NCAA rules. During his freshman season at Duke, the comerback took the field in every game, logging 14 tackles and a fumble recovery for the Blue Devils. According to father Craig Charbonnet, the Woodlands, Texas, native’s decision to transfer was based largely on his overall experience at Duke. “[Daniel] felt like the school, culture-wise, wasn’t a fit,” Craig Charbonnet said. “He wanted to go to a school that was a little more of a football school, even though he respected and liked the coaches at Duke.”

Charbonnet added that his son’s decision was not influenced by the choices of the other four players.

Izzy Bauta, who earned no playing time during his year at Duke, transferred to Villanova, a spokesman for the school confirmed. He is also taking classes this summer at his new university. The lineman’s older brother, junior Lavdrim Bauta, is an offensive tackle for the Blue Devils.

Blockbuster-style entertainment and ancient history collide for the latest collection of King Tut’s treasures.

For the first time in 26 years, pieces from King Tut’s tomb and other ancient Egyptian excavation sites will be on display at host galleries throughout the United States.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art —the first location for “Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs”—recendy hosted an elaborate grand opening with a golden carpet, flashing camera bulbs and media fanfare. And when the collection reaches Fort Lauderdale this fall, ships adorned in gold will be floating in the nearby water. In the next two years, the tour will also visit Chicago and Philadel-

phia.

Tut’s last exhibit in the 1970s also brought a Hollywood flair to the ancient treasures, but the new version—with corporate sponsors Northern Trust Corporation and National Geographic —is perhaps the ultimate example of the fusion of the entertainment and art worlds.

The Comas'lead singer Andy Herod (second from left) fused personal heartache with musical talent on theband's latest album, Conductor. by

Robert Winterode

recess

Andy Herod is miserable.

It’s pouring down bullets of water, and he’s attempting to track down his ’B9 Ford Econoline van that has been towed from Brooklyn to a storage facility in Queens.

This isn’t the first time this sort of thing has happened to him since he moved to the city a year ago.

Herod, the lead singer of The Comas, and most of his bandmates (Nicole Gehweiler on guitar, Cameron Weeks on drums and Justin Williams on bass) have made the “big artist” transition: leaving the small town—the town-in-question being Chapel Hill—for the Big Apple.

No, losing his van isn’t the first time Herod’s been heartbroken. In fact, he recently broke off a two-year relationship with former Dawson’s Creek star Michelle Williams. And Blender Magazine summed

up The Coma’s latest album Conductor—a concept record inspired by Herod’s melancholy—as “11 songs about breaking up with the blonde one from Dawson Creek.”

“I dated this girl, and it was a big part of my life,” Herod says. “The record wasn’t meant to be a breakup record. It’s just when we went to fill in the blanks of the songs, that’s the theme that came out.”

Indeed, the record’s sound is all drizzly fuzz guitar and cool desperation. Songs like “Tonight On The WB” contain especially forlorn and bitter lyrics; “I love it when you fall apart/You turn it into higher art” is an example.

During the group’s lifespan, Herod has also dealt with the departure of various band members and another ruinous relationship —this time with Warner Bros, imprint 679 Recordings. With Conductor, The Comas had to contend with the most money they’d ever been given to produce

a record, “expectations and pressure to sell a lot of records” and afterwards, various

legal problems.

“It was a quagmire for awhile,” Herod says.

Asked if he would ever begin a relationship with another silky starlet again, he responds with a succinct “no.” And on whether his band would sign with another major again, he replies, “I would probably date a starlet before I did that.”

Two years ago, Herod was hanging out at the likes of Chapel Hill’s smoky basement bar The Cave. At the time, the prototypical hipster—he had the glasses—seemed content. He said then his plans were for the band to take over the world.

Today, he says his plans have changed.

“It’s really simple,” Herod says. “We’re here just to make the best music possible.

Auteur Miranda July talks innocence, Me and You by

Brian McGinn

filmreview

recess Miranda July’s debut feature Me and You and Everyone We Know has gotten rave reviews worldwide, winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and the prestigious Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film, a delicate, touching and funny exploration of the human heart, is being released throughout the summer by IFC Films. Recess Film Co-Editor Brian McGinn caught up with July while she was in Los Angeles.

RECESS: So how did you get the film made?

MIRANDA JULY: Well, I wrote it and then I went to the Sundance Labs [the filmmaking institute in Utah]. I applied three times and got in on the third time; that was 2003. I went to the... lab in June of 2003, and there I met Gina Kwon through one of my advisors. She became my producer, and we sent the script everywhere and had a million meetings and tried to get financing for it for about nine months. Then we worked out this partnership between Film Four... and IFC and the summer of last year, we started shooting.

R: Wow, it obviously had to be disheartening to take so long [to find funding]. How did you stay focused during that period?

MJ; Well, it’s actually an insanely short time to get financing. [For] most people it takes years or at least a year, so we were pretty lucky. But, you know, I was rewriting the script the whole time and making it better. We knew we would make [the film] that summer regardless of how much money we had. I mean, we were prepared to make it for $200,000 if we had to, so it was just more like constantly not knowing what level budget we would have. But I never thought: “Oh, I’m never going to make this movie.” I’ve been making things with so little for so long that that’s just not where I’m coming from.

R: You’ve been doing a lot of Q and A’s after screenings and talks and stuff. Have you had the chance yet to just walk by a theater, see if it was playing and Just go buy a ticket and sit in the back and watch people’s reactions?

MJ: I keep meaning to do that, I want to do that. Yeah, I mean, my friends joke about what kind of disguise I might wear when I go. But yeah, I was in Santa Barbara last weekend, and I kept saying, “We have to see if it’s playing here!” because it would be perfect to go to some town that’s not where I live and see how its going across.

R: You’ve talked before about how innocence is to you kind of like an art

Cattlin Donnelly recess A special award-winner for originality at the Sundance Film Festival, Me and You and Everyone WeKnow succeeds for the opposite reason it received acclaim. Though some of the film’s setups seem bizarre, its underlying theme of trying to create a connection in an increasingly distant world is poignandy ordinary.

Writer, director and star Miranda July manages to find art in the everyday.

She creates a world in which a man sets his hand on fire in order to “save his life,” a seven-year-old girl spends her allowance on appliances and towels for her dowry and a goldfish precariously perched on the hood of a car becomes a symbol of life’s fragility.

Occasionally, the scenes overreach, as does an exchange between July and her potential suitor, shoe salesman Richard Swersey (John Hawkes). Their shared twoblock walk becomes a far-fetched metaphor for their imagined relationship.

But for the most part, the film provides a refreshing take on even the touchiest of subjects. When seven-year old Robby (the adorable Brandon Ratcliff) forays into the world of online sex, it is apparent that this seemingly disturbing scenario is the innocent exploration of a lonely boy and ultimately comes across as comical rather than creepy.

Full of standout performances, particularly from Hawkes, Me and You and Everyone We Know presents July’s quirky vision of reality —a vision the audience delights in sharing for an hour or two. by

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Quirky director Miranda July is receiving criticalacclaim for her film Meand You and Everyone We Know.

form, and it really seemed to me that was so evident in this film, in every character there was some element of innocence at some point.

MJ; I don’tknow if I meant it then, but I would say that it starts with staying innocent as you’re writing it, which means to not be judging yourself while you’re writing, and to not be necessarily thinking of the world that already exists, but instead to just let yourself create that world. I mean, that’s kind of, that is a discipline.

Anyone who’s e-mailing and making phone calls and interacting—that’s not really a very innocent [thing] in the way that I’m talking about it—it’s hard to bring out the more fragile or subtle parts of yourself, and you kind of have to work to protect that [innocent] place and certainly protect it enough to create a whole movie that lives in that place.

R: You talked about discipline in regards to keeping yourself grounded while you’re writing—staying outside of the “normal” world. How hard was that for you, when you have a background in creating pieces that expand on reality while keeping true to real emotions? Does that come easier to you now?

MJ: You know, this movie was much more completely grounded in reality than anything else I’ve ever made, except for maybe

some short stories, 50... there wasn’t an external influence, but [it] was me wanting to use the best of what making a movie has to offer, which is a wide audience. And it’s—at least with your first movie—maybe not the place to completely show [all of something].

If you’re going to try to show something magical the best way to do that... is through daily life, instead of literally getting abstract.

So that was a particular discipline for this movie: to stay grounded in daily reality and not give myself the kind of freedoms that I do with my performance work or sound work.

R: There was an essay that was published last year by Alexander Payne [Director of Sideways] about the state of independent cinema and of the country as .a whole. It talked a lot about how people go to the movies to find out things about themselves, who they are, where they’re going and where we’ve been as a society.

Did you write to elicit a feeling of self-discovery in your audience and yourself?

MJ; I don’t know. I mean, that could mean so many things, I know what I love is to go see a movie or a band or read something that just makes me feel like the world is relevant to me, and that makes me want to make things. I wanted to make a movie like that, that gives people more space to be in.

INDIE FILMS

Katie Somers recess It’s raining in Paris, and it’s hard to say what is most seductive—starlet Jeanne Moreau’s come-hither French murmuring, the sensuous jazz of Miles Davis or the cite d’amour itself. This, Louis Malle’s 1958 film Elevator to the Gallows, was the birth ofcool.

The director’s stunning debut gained new life this summer with a Lincoln Center retrospective on Malle’s career and a re-release by Rialto Pictures.

In Gallows, Julien Tavernier (Maurice Ronet) is having an affair with his war profiteer boss’s wife Florence (Moreau). They decide to commit the perfect crime by murdering her husband and making it look like a suicide.

But this is a film noir, and things are never that simple. Soon Murphy’s Law kicks in and their plan goes horribly wrong, as Julien becomes trapped in the office building’s elevator after committing the deed. Before long, a juvenile delinquent and his girlfriend steal Julien’s car, Florence madly wanders the Parisian streets thinking Julien has abandoned her and the car thieves frame Julien for the by

murder of two tourists.

The plot, though deliciously ironic and laced with political insinuations, is clearly not the main attraction here. The movie is more notable as the forerunner to the thenburgeoning French New Wave. The movement in itself was sexy—away of breaking all the rules of filmmaking that liberated the directors from the studio system. The Wave was a renegade way of moviemaking that utilized shooting on location rather than in studios, often done on a very low budget. In Gallows, a number of tracking shots follow Moreau through the Parisian moonlight, where a baby carriage was used as a makeshift dolly.

Viewing the restored, retranslated film in 2005 is surely a different experience than it was in 1958. It has been removed from its late-’sos context, but the film still resonates on a political level. Malle and his actors seduce the audience in this tale of retribution, morality and mistaken identity that is no less powerful now than it was 47 years ago.

Elevator to the Gallows began its run in New York City, and will be touring the country through September.

Love, a delicate love story set in a small British town, and Sony Pictures Classics releases the final Merchant/Ivory Production, Heights. My Summer ofLove plays like a Sofia Coppola film, featuring brilliant performances by the two female leads, an excellent score and lovely photography.

Heights, which assumed its weighty canonical role after producer Ismail Merchant passed away earlier in 2005, features Glenn Close as a New York mother caught in turmoil. The film isn’t Merchant/Ivory’s best, but Close asserts herself again as a distinctive talent.

Newcomer Miranda July (SEE INTERVIEW) bridges the gap between performance art and film with the lovably bizarre Me and You and Everyone We Know (SEE REVIEW), a critically lauded, truly independent picture that is hilarious and touching.

It has a grasp of the idiosyncrasies of modem life that should propel it toward the awards season; in fact, Everyone We Know has already won awards on the film festival circuit across the country.

Rounding out the month are a trio of fantastic documentaries: March of the Penguins, a nature documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman about the Emperor penguin; Rize, a wham-bam-jam dance movie from Dave LaChapelle (note the La) featuring “krump-dancing;” and Murderball, the Sundance Festival award winner about disabled athletes playing wheelchair rugby. All three documentaries follow in the footsteps of the indie genre’s recent success, which should allow them to find relatively wide audiences.

August marks the arrival of the big boys, with Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers—the Cannes Palme d’Or winner—and Wai’s 2046, a sequel of sorts to his classic In the Mood For Love. Flowers has already started to gain

Oscar buzz for its lead actor, Bill Murray, who is looking for Oscar redemption after being robbed in 2003 for Lost In Translation.

The story follows Don (Murray) after he receives an anonymous note alerting him to the existence of a son. Egged on by his neighbor (Jeffrey Wright), Don visits his exgirlfriends in search of answers.

Later in August, City of God director Fernando Meirelles helms Focus’ T he Constant Gardener, adapted from the John Le Carre novel and starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. It will be Meirelles first American-funded project.

2046 is a futuristic love story that features the same, style made famous in In the Mood for Love. Wai is a master of mood, tempo and composition, but it is his remarkable ability to infuse small objects and small moments with massive importance that makes him so extraordinary.

2046 should be a hit with critics—as it was in Hong Kong, where it won numerous Hong Kong Film Awards—though its appeal may be limited in American theaters.

The end of the summer also marks the end of a film tour by Rialto Pictures. Rialto focuses primarily on restoring classic, litde-seen foreign films to mint condition and re-releasing them. This summer, they bring French noir Elevator to the Gallows (SEE REVIEW) to theaters. Gallows is a true gem, still incredibly enjoyable decades after its initial release.

Although “independent” may not mean the same thing as it has in the past, the set offilms from minor studios mixed with truly independent work from firmly established directors and talented newcomers makes for an exciting summer. If everything is as good as it gets, the arthouse films might even be good enough to wash the foul stench of The Adventures ofLava-Boy and Shark Girl from everyone’s

palates.

That could only be a good thing.

A not-soblockbuster summer BY

(the box office takes a dive)

CORINNE Low

recess It had everything: Oscar-winning stars,

a proven director-actor combination, an indie hero turned mass-market favorite, a gripping historical setting.

It had a precedent {Seabiscuit had done it, hadn’t it?). It had a pedigree. It had the critics in its pockets—and everything but the audience to fill its seats.

One week after Cinderella Man's release, it didn’t look good. But hey, films have had slow starts before. Two weeks after it came out, it was official: The widely praised, Oscar-bait, can’t-go-wrong Crowe-Zellweger combination, under the directorship of Hollywood’s golden boy Ron Howard, had gone wrong. Cinderella Man was a flop.

The movie’s failure was attributed to everything from Crowe’s bad behavior (telephone, anyone?) to the distributor’s bad timing (drama in summer?). More sinisterly, it pointed to an ominous trend: a box office recession.

Citing a reduction in ticket sales since last year, industry insiders began to grumble of a box office slump. This excuse for dwindling returns picked up speed until a few clever observers pointed out that last year’s Passion of the Christ, which lured in a glut of atypical movie-goers, made 2004 a poor standard of comparison.

And besides, it’s not as though summer ‘O5 has been free of hits. Revenge of the Sith did predictably well—but perhaps surprisingly it surpassed all but two of the series’ other installments, climbing into the top ten while still in theaters. Its current gross is over $360 million. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Madagascar and The Longest Yard are all posting current gross-

ly climbing toward a likely $2OO million total. But studio execs who were expecting the dark superhero story to be this summer’s Spider Man (or even Spider Man 2, as both films grossed over $350 million domestically) found themselves looking to War of the Worldsfor the hit of the summer.

Worlds has, of course, done decently—as do all disaster flicks that open on the July 4 weekend—but some speculate that

the film’s |64.9-million holiday weekend gross could have been higher had its star refrained from loopy antics.

With totals from Stealth, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Island, Fantastic 4 and Wedding Crashers still to be counted, 2005 has some wild cards yet—though none of those films promise a hit of Star Wars magnitude.

Summer 2005 will not likely be remembered as the summer of little movies that could, with smaller flicks such as My Summer ofLove and Rize posting disappointing returns considering their stellar reviews.

Only Crash stepped into the league with the big boys, deservedly earning $5O million. And with Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle languishing in limited release, one wonders what happened to the magic ingredient that sparked Miyazaki’s hit Spirited Away.

In the end, though, don’t cry too hard for Hollywood. Domestic box office receipts for the summer are still well into the billions, and marketing partnerships plus foreign grosses raked in a healthy supplemental income. No matter how cheap DVDs or absurdly expensive theater ticket prices become, no matter how closely home sound systems begin to resemble those of auditoriums, America will continue to flock to the big screens.

There’s something about that crowded opening night buzz, the collective gasps and amplified laughter, the stars’ heads as big as dining room tables, the movie theater—not theater-quality—sound effects and, yes, even the line, the ticket and the popcorn, that will keep us coming back. Summer blockbusters are far from a dying breed.

El movimiento nuevo: Latin music a Robert Winterode recess Remember “Livin’ La Vida Loca?”

In the old days, Latino artists shook Top 40 radio with their poppified-to-a-bubble-gum-extreme singles.

No more.

Urban flava has become the predominant lengua of the Latin crossover artists. A quick scan of the radio dial releases the sounds of such bumpin’, hip-hoppish tracks as Frankie J’s “Obsession,” Daddy Yankee’s “Gasolina,” Baby Bash’s “Baby I’m Back” and Natalie’s “Coin’ Crazy.” Recess interviewed three of the new genre’s up-and-comers. by

Twin divas ‘You can see the urban influence,” says 19-year-old Nicole Albino, half of the twin duo Nina Sky. “Recently it hasn’t just been Spanish artists doing pop music. It’s strayed away from that. It’s a lot more hip-hop right now out there.... It’s about time that there’s a lot more Hispanics in the music scene.”

Albino says Latin culture has something special to offer mainstream music: a special twist on an old product.

Nina Sky’s debut single “Move Ya Body” was probably last summer’s unofficial anthem as well as a testament to the idea that cultures can fuse together, becoming more than the sum of its parts. “Move Ya Body,” a song constructed out of a bare coolie “riddim,” was one of the first pieces of reggaeton—a Latinized blend of dancehall reggae and hip-hop —to hit mainstream radio.

As a Puerto Rican who grew up in Queens, Albino speaks proudly of her heritage. “Because there aren’t as many Latinos in the hip-hop game, I feel we should get more respect for that fact alone,” she says.

A new type of radio station is looking to get on a first name basis with the American public.

Known simply as “Jack” stations, this new breed of radio format features a larger, more eclectic playlist than traditional FM stations—anywhere from 1,000 to 2,500 songs, versus the more typical 200 to 400 songs a conventionally programmed station might feature. In between the shuffled milieu of multi-genre music, a computerized voice spits out sarcastic one-liners such as, “We just ate five minutes ago, but we’re going in the pool anyway.” The voice gives the radio station a persona in the form of the Jack (or Bob or Simon or some other male name) character, instead of live DJs. The first Jack station, KJAC 105.5 in Denver, went on air in April 2004. Since then, 15 other stations nationwide have officially gone Jack, while coundess others now exhibit Jack-like characteristics. In the Durham area, for example, you can set your dial to 98.7 Simon, a hits station out of Greensboro that changed to a more Jack-like forin April 2005.

The station is typical ofmany Jack-like stations because most, but not all, ofits broadcasting time is taken up by the random shuffle of a large number of songs. Unlike some of its counterparts, however, the station still has a weekly morning show hosted by live DJs. mat

ipes and MC Play (inset) is defining theTexas hip-hop scene trailblazers Natalie, Baby Bash and Frankie J.) Their debut album The Process will be released this fall.

Half-Venezuelan and half-Argentinean, Play recognizes how much his cultural upbringing has affected his music. “My heritage definitely gives my music the rhythm with the congas and production skills,” he says. “It adds flavor like in the way I play the cymbals.”

In their own way, Play-N-Skillz is trying to fill a void in Latin hip-hop that’s been left empty since Cypress Hill fell off the

:reative ledge.

“We’re definitely trying to step up for the Latin people. It’s a black and white thing in hip-hop right now,” Play says.

“The only pop success for us has been, like, Ricky Martin, and he was just a flash in the pan. We need more faces.”

What Latin hip-hop needs is an act the size—in terms of musical ingenuity—and likability of Nelly, *he adds.

With Jackradio, the ipod shuffle feature comes to your local FM radio station.

A new study by Edison Media Research and Arbitron warns that these jumps could be counterbalanced by lower tune-in spans per listener. The study, released in June, took its information from statistics at the eight longest-running Jack stations.

Like so many other forms of entertainment, radio has been pushed to extremes by the pendulum of public opinion.

“Through the 90s, radio became very format-

ted and predictable;.very sharp and tight,” said Branch. “People got sick ofit. This format development is a reaction to this.”

Indeed, “Jack” radio is the latest in a long line of gimmicks—such as commercial-free blocks and huge cash giveaways—that FM radio has employed in a desperate attempt to keep listeners tuning in as evolving music media slowly eclipses the form that started it all.

That’s all we’re concerned with now.

Everything else you can’t really control.”

He sounds resigned.

But Herod has a lot to be proud of. All three of The Comas’ albums have attracted critical acclaim, with publications like Magnet Magazine hailing the group as one of indie rock’s preeminent outfits. And they have crossed over to mainstream magazines, gamering positive reviews in Rolling Stone and Spin.

Their latest release—or as Herod terms it, “a massive art project gone haywire”—was accompanied by a well-received animated short starring Herod’s ex. The band has also engaged in other audiovisual endeavors, recording two videos for “Tonight On The WB” and “Invisible Drugs.”

The latter song is among the group’s best work; an impossibly staccato drumbeat and a fuzzing bass propel the track’s narrative of unrequited love. The video portrays the scrubby-looking band attempting to make a video under a parking garage until Herod flicks a switch and The Comas are suddenly in fashionable threads playing in an arena.

“We weren’t trying to be rock stars,” Herod remarks slyly.

Indeed, the latest video, which was featured on Yahoo!’s Launch and Rolling Stones website, might just be the band’s il-

luminating spotlight.

For now, the band is at work on another album and shopping around for a new label. “We’re not contractually obligated to anybody right now,” Herod says.

Systems upgrade: the next installment of the gaming wars Everson Jordan recess A new generation of console games will begin arriving next spring, but the initial details of the new systems have already been revealed. While Sony attempts to hold its dominant market share with the new Playstation 3, Microsoft will battle for control with the Xbox 360.

Each system is boasting better statistics than its counterpart in a bid to one up each other, though some of the hardware specifications might mean little to the lay consumer. Playstation 3 boasts a 3.2 Ghz processor —which, compared to Xbox 360’s two symmetrical 3.2 Ghz core, seems pathetic. Yet the PS3 provides two teraflops of performance while the Xbox 360 only provides one.

While these technical specifics might make your head spin, some of the other numbers offered up are more straightforward: Sony has increased Playstation 2’s measly two-controller system to seven for the PS3, while Xbox has simply maintained its four-controller system. Both systems provide Wi-Fi Internet connections and have half a gigabyte of RAM. The battle between these two systems rages on: Microsoft and Sony are following the same concepts in their new systems, searching to build a bigger, better machine.

Yet as the past has shown, the end results may be the same. Despite Microsoft’s boasts of the original Xbox’s superior power over the PS2, when third- party game developers began creating games, they agreed that each system was capable of supporting exactly the same game. Thus the massive differences announced before the release of the systems proved overblown. by

”

If power differences do prove negligible, the massive price differences could swing purchases: While Xbox 360 will sell for a (relatively) reasonable $3OO, Playstation 3’s price is sky-rocketing to over $450.

In contrast to Microsoft and Sony’s early release of the Xbox 360 and PS3 technical specs, respectively, Nintendo has remained tight-lipped about its new system, the Nintendo Revolution. It has said only that Revolution is a smaller, more affordable alternative to the other two systems. The new system’s “revolution” comes with a new controller design—one they are unwilling to describe at the moment.

Though the systems have differences, the most decisive factor in a purchase should probably be the console-specific games like Xbox’s Halo series, Playstation’s Final Fantasy series and Nintendo’s classic Mario and Zelda series.

One final issue for the new consoles is backward compatibility—the ability to play games from old systems. Playstation 3 will be able to play PSI and 2 games, while the Xbox 360 will not be able to play Xbox games. This missing quality is surprising in the battle between the two juggernauts.

But Nintendo Revolution’s incredible backwards compatibility is even more surprising: Every Nintendo-produced game since the original Nintendo Entertainment System will be available for download to the Revolution’s memory—and word around the blogs is that these classic games may be free.

While Sony and Microsoft wage war in the same arena, Nintendo is proving to be the dark horse of the next generation consoles, with innovative ideas and a novel vision for the future of the console market.

‘blockbuster,’” said John Norman, president of Arts and Exhibitions International, in a statement to the press. “This amazing exhibition promises to exceed everyone’s expectations, and we are confident we can set the ‘blockbuster’ standard for the next 25 years.”

Many art elitists, however, have accused the exhibit of being too commercialized and too Hollywood. Tickets can cost as much as thirty dollars, prompting The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to turn down the opportunity to host the treasures, citing a museum policy against charging the public for special exhibits.

Missing from the traveling collection this time around is Tut’s famed golden mask, one of the features of the original 1970s tour. Event organizers cited a desire to display new pieces instead of rehashing the previous exhibit as reasons for the mask’s absence.

Teams from Egypt, France and the United States just completed three-dimensional models of the young pharaoh’s face. The models are based on state-of-the-art imaging techniques that allowed researchers to digitally peel off the mummy’s wraps.

Missing mask notwithstanding, there are several spectacular artifacts among the 130 pieces in the new Tut collection.

A silver trumpet, a gilded shrine to Tut and his wife found near their remains and the royal diadem—the gold crown on the mummified king’s head—are just a few of the highlights.

The public will also be able to view more than 70 objects from other royal graves of the 18th Dynasty, all more than 3,000 years old. Unless you’re planning a trip to Cairo, the exhibit might be worth your time.

A passion for fashioning wood artbriefs Ho recess Blue crabs, bioluminescence and wooden bowls?

A strange combination, but Professor Richard Forward of the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C., manages to incorporate all three elements into his work.

Forward has been at the marine lab for 35 years, teaching courses such as “Physical Ecology” and “Physiology of Marine Animals.” He has published numerous papers in his scientific career, and he is primarily noted for his work with fish larvae and blue crab migration patterns.

But when he has a spare moment away from his laboratory, Forward enjoys a hobby he took up justfive years ago: woodworking.

As an active researcher, Forward built much of his own scientific equipment for years, but he worked primarily with metal and plastic. He sometimes crafted wooden objects as models for his wife to use in her paintings.

But some unexpected inspiration came when a leak ruined the entire kitchen floor of his historic house during a hurricane. In the process of rebuilding the back of the house, Forward decided to include a woodworking shop as a place to store his equipment. It was then that he seriously began to pursue his artistic interests.

Forward carves various wooden items, including flatware. The inspiration for Forward’s pieces usually comes from the wood itself.

“A lot of times the piece will dictate where you go because it will have a crack or rotten area in it and you will have to reby

Whatever your reaction to the book’s unusual subjects and conclusions, you won’t be bored.

The Washingtonienne is the story of Jacqueline, a young Capitol Hill staffer whose escapades make Samantha from Sex and the City look conservative.

Jacqueline’s adventures provide entertainment for other characters through her blog and make the novel a quick and easy summer read.

The author, Jennifer Cutler, describes life on Capitol Hill in a both accurate and exaggerated manner, not unlike Tom Wolfe’s description of college life in I Am Charlotte Simmons. For example, many of the characters play into stereotypes: the older man who uses power and money to seduce younger women, the young women who are working on the Hill for the sole purpose of finding a husband and the sleazy politician.

hangover, Koren Zalickas carefully chooses the word “smashed” to describe one of her first escapades with alcohol in a letter to a long-time pen pal. From this point forward, “smashed” becomes the only term applicable to Keren’s life, as alcohol leads her on a blurry path into her twenties.

Smashed is a sadly honest memoir of this young woman’s life with alcohol. Zalickas spent a decade in a haze created by a seemingly endless consumption of cocktails, beers and shots. Yet Zalickas, as she is quick to point out, was never an alcoholic. She never drank alone nor was she physically addicted to alcohol. Instead, she was a long-time alcohol abuser—a young female with an affliction that has become so common it is noteworthy, as Zalickas puts it.

Zalickas draws on a few shocking statistics and deep personal memories to discuss the prevalence of alcohol abuse among young females. But Smashed is not intended to preach a substance-free existence. The book was written as much for Zalickas as it was for the readers.

Through Smashed, Zalickas seeks to define the progression of her cycle of alcohol abuse and come to terms with her life filled by blacked-out memories. In doing so, Zalickas puts forth an important and compelling work of an increasingly common female experience.

—Chrissie Gorman Sunday Money: Speed!

Lust! Madness!

Death!

By Jeff MacGregor

Jeff MacGregor is an outsider in an area where 75 million people are in the know: the world of NASCAR. In his own quest to understand the lure of this growing American pastime, MacGregor analyzes and scrutinizes the drivers, races, fans and promotions during a yearlong trek with his wife. During this period, the couple traveled 48,000 miles to attend 36 races at 23 tracks.

Sunday Money, however, is as much about the culture of NASCAR as it is about the races. In providing a comprehensive look at the industry, Sunday Money takes the readers from the early beginnings of the sport to Disney World, where the author gets to drive a car as part of a fantasy adventure. MacGregor’s frequently satirical tone makes the book

very readable to even those who do not know anything or even care about NASCAR. The tone lightens as MacGregor drives on, showing his own shifting feelings about the culture.

With as much artistry as MacGregor uses to describe the industry, his wife, a photographer, adds great images of the trip, which help even the most removed outsider get a glimpse into the world of professional racecar driving.

Everything Bad is Good For You

By Steven Johnson At

first

glance, a sociology text doesn’t material seem well suited for pool-side summer reading, but Everything Bad Is Good for You is just that—a breezy, not too thinky book of assertions and opinions.

In this self-described “old-fashioned work of persuasion,” author Steven Johnson asserts that, despite popular claims, elements of modern mass culture such as video games, television shows and the Internet are actually making us smarter. In Johnson’s world, modern video games are akin to extended word problems and television dramas have progressed from the single episode arcs ofStarsky 6s Hutch to the extended and competing storylines of The West Wing and The Sopranos.

Johnson’s point that you cannot judge modern media by past literary standards has definite merit, but his work seems to suffer from selective attention. For example, though he uses The Sopranos to illustrate his assertion that television is becom-

ing increasingly complicated,

Johnson

pointedly excludes more limited forms, like reality TV or predictable sitcoms, from his discussion. Similarly, videogames that require little more than furious button-pushing, such as Super Smash Brothers, escape his attention.

Moreover, Johnson refrains from empirical analysis, which seems necessary when one is surveying the pop culture

landscape.

Despite its fault, Everything is an interesting read, appealing for all consumers of popular culture. So pick it up one afternoon and, even if you’re not persuaded by Johnson’s argument, at least you’ll have read a book, which everyone agrees is good for you.

If I see one more white, ankle-length, tiered skirt pass me on ternship? I’m getting there.

There are any number of things that I am the sidewalk, I might actually puke. And

yet there’s a gorgeous one sitting in my closet. The solution (and problem)? I won’t wear it again for another three years.

Compounding this fact at myjob is that most people who work in fashion know fashion. I’m finding I do it, too.

I can tell if your shirt is from H&M; I can tell if your belt is from Banana Republic; I’m not judging—Lord knows I shop at both places frequently—it’s just that when you get to point of being able to brand the items you see on the people walking by you, the need for unique increases exponentially.

And at a fashion magazine, more money will not buy an escape from homogeneity. In other cities, at other jobs, the money to buy designer clothing can also buy exclusivity.

Not in the fashion world, where people are given free clothing —or wholesale discounts—and certainly not at a fashion magazine, where most of the employees (myself included, sadly) could tell you not only the designer of your jacket but also the year and season it was produced.

This lack of clothing unknowns takes away the security that someone won’t show up to work wearing the same thing as you, as well as the pleasure of thinking you’ve found something truly special.

The concerned reader might wonder how I am dealing. Aside from the dwindling bank account, I’m managing—with a couple of tried and true tricks that I’d be a fool to reveal. The jaded reader might wonder if I would I give it up: the superficiality, the futility, the relentlessness? Not a chance in hell. The constant search for what is new and fun and beautiful is what makes the world of fashion so

exciting.
