When Rubenstein Hall was formally dedicated Friday afternoon, the future of the Sanford Institute for Public Policy was on the minds ofmany . Hundreds of students, alumni and members of the administration gathered to celebrate the public policy institute’s latest addition. Administrators hope additional space and resources provided by the new building will entice new faculty and improve the quality of public policy studies at the University. “Rubenstein Hall just about doubles our space and doubles what we do here at Sanford,” President Richard Brodhead said at the ceremony. “It’s great to build facilities, but I like to tell students, ‘You build facilities for facilitating things.’” The 46,000-square-foot building is named in honor of donor David Rubenstein, Trinity ‘7O and a member of the Board of Trustees. It opened for use in August and includes numerous classrooms, offices and meeting rooms. It will house Sanford’s

that the student body is often labeled as apathetic, yet when students came out in droves for Powell’s speech they were turned back. “If they can handle basketball games and coordinate wristband distribution... can’t they do it for the former secretary' of state?” Levy said.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell brought a crowd to its feet Friday as he delivered the keynote address to dedicate Rubenstein Hall, a new building in the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. The event, held in Wilson Recreation Center before approximately 1,115 administrators, alumni, students and local residents, was so well-attended that nearly one thousand people were shut out due to space constraints. Loudspeakers set up outside allowed the overflow crowd to hear Powell’s words. The hour-long speech shifted between personal anecdotes and a serious discussion of the war on terror. Entitled “Diplomacy: Persuasion, Trust and Values,” the address offered a defense of foreign policy under President George W. Bush’s administration. Powell attributed recent war protests to the fact that “democracy is a noisy system,”

It isn’t basketball season, but

Friday afternoon hundreds of people crowded the lawns of Krzyzewskiville anyway. They were not able to enter the at-capacity Wilson Recre-

ation Center for former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s speech at the dedication of Rubenstein Hall.

“Don’t blame me, I’m not the fire marshal,” Powell said, acknowledging the people looking through Wilson’s back glass windows. While those shut out of the gym did not blame Powell, they were critical of the University’s administration and the overall planning process for the touted

speech event.

For the men of Pi Kappa Phi, a Shooters Halloween party is the destination on this particular Thursday night. It is the first Halloween the brothers have spent together as a fraternity since their establishment at Duke last semester. The ghostbuster is senior Matt Zullo, die president of Pi Kappa Phi and one who claims to be well-acquainted widi the typical images a fraternity might call to mind. But the new fraternity he leads seems to shirk all categories, he said.
