Longhorns lasso Goestenkors Junior found dead in room

Gail Goestenkors accepted the University of Texas’ offer to become its next women’s basketball head coach Tuesday, leaving behind the Duke program she built into a national powerhouse during her 15 years in Durham.

After informing Duke administrators Tuesday morning of her decision, Goestenkors spoke with the current Blue Devils squad in a meeting in the afternoon.

Texas will introduce Goestenkors, the reigning Associated Press Coach of the Year, at a news conference Thursday at noon EDT. “During the last week and throughout her entire time at Duke, we addressed everything that Gail requested in order to remain our coach for the duration of her career,” Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said in a statement. “In the end, it came down to her seeking a new challenge at this stage in her career and her life.” had offered Texas reportedly Goestenkors a contract that would pay her $BOO,OOO per year, which is significantly more than her salary was at Duke.

After she returned from her interview in Austin last week, however, Duke matched the offer and addressed other concerns Goestenkors had about program support, a senior athletics official with knowledge of the negotiations said.

A source familiar with Goestenkors’ thinking said the recently divorced coach heavily weighed her personal life in the decision.

In the end, Goestenkors, 44, chose to chase her elusive first national championship in Austin, where there is an established fan base for women’s basketball, a strong recruiting pipeline and a women’s athletics director—Chris Plonsky —with whom Goestenkors has worked previously.

“I talked with Gail repeatedly in the last few days and I know this was an extremely difficult decision for her, but ultimately the lure of a new challenge outweighed her

Bush: Dems are irresponsible President Bush denounced "irresponsible"

U.K. calls for direct talks with Iran by

Tariq Panja

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Britain called for direct LONDON talks with Iran to resolve a dispute over 15 captive Britons Tuesday after its first contact with the chief Iranian negotiator. The announcement followed the sudden release of an Iranian diplomat in Iraq that raised new hope for resolving the standoff.

In a statement late Tuesday, Prime Minister Tony Blair’s office said there had been “further contacts” between the two countries, including with chief international negotiator Ali Larijani.

“The UK has proposed direct bilateral

discussions and awaits an Iranian response on when these can begin,” Blair’s office said.

“Both sides share a desire for an early resolution to this issue through direct talks.”

British officials say there has been intense diplomatic activity, including meetings in London with Iran’s ambassador.

But reports of contacts with officials in Tehran have been sketchy.

The Downing Street statement did not say whether the contact with Larijani came in person or by phone.

Blair said earlier in the day that the next 48 hours would be “fairly critical” to resolving the standoff over the British personnel, who have been held by Iran since March 23.

The call for talks came hours after Iranian diplomat Jalal Sharafi was freed by his captors in Iraq. He had been seized Feb. 4 by uniformed gunmen in Karradah, a Shiite-controlled district of Baghdad.

His release raised hope for an end to the standoff and suggested the possibility of a de facto prisoner swap—something both Tehran and London have publicly discounted.

Iran alleged the diplomat had been abducted by an Iraqi military unit commanded by United States Jorces—a charge repeated by several Iraqi Shiite lawmakers.

U.S. authorities denied any role in his dis-

appearance.

Gunfire in CNN complex kills one by

Harry Weber

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA—As rescue workers wheeled wounded man and woman out on stretcha ers, the crowd that gathered stared at the big television screens overhead. It was CNN broadcasting reports of a shooting that took place inside the complex that houses the news channel’s headquarters.

The woman, who worked at the Omni Hotel attached to CNN Center, later died.

The man, wh6 was not identified, was critically wounded. The man was not carrying identification, police spokesman James Polite said. Police described Tuesday’s inci-

dent as a “domestic situation.”

The pair had been arguing when the man allegedly pulled a gun and shot the woman near an entrance to the complex just before 1:30 p.m. Police said a security guard who intervened then shot the man.

“We heard the shots, pop, pop, pop,” said Victoria Opalach, who was standing in line at a Starbucks inside the building’s main atrium when the shooting occurred down a nearby hallway. “Everybody stood up and started running. All I could think of was 9/11.”

When the shooting occurred, hundreds of late-lunch diners and tourists in

the food court and atrium at the center of the CNN Center rushed in a human wave away from the sounds of gunfire coming from the hallway that led to the shooting scene. Sandwiches were dropped in midbite, and a few people ducked under tables on the floor. The lines of people waiting in the atrium for CNN studio tours quickly fell apart as guards and police officers rushed toward the scene.

Nifong aims for dismissal of ethics case

Smithfield co. comes

under fire

The North Carolina State Bar scheduled a hearing Tuesday to consider a motion to dismiss ethics charges filed against Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong.

The hearing is slated to take place April 13.

The bar charged Nifong in January with violations of professional conduct, including withholding evidence from defense attorneys during the investigation of the lacrosse case.

He is also charged with lying to the court and making misleading and inflammatory comments about the three indicted members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team. The three still face charges of sexual offense and kidnapping after rape charges were dropped in December.

If the charges against him are not dismissed next week, he will stand trialJune 12.

Nifong recused himself from the lacrosse case after the bar’s charges were brought forth, and the case is currently being investigated by two state-appointed prosecutors.

The speedometer ABOARD TRAIN VISO, France climbed higher and higher—and so did my heart rate.

Inside the last of three double-decker cars sandwiched between two engines, those of us aboard the French bullet train trying to set the speed record on conventional rails watched the digital numbers flash on a screen in kilometers per hour: 400, 450, 500, 550.

Looking out the windows, the French countryside became a green blur.

Then the magic number appeared: 574.8 kph, or 357.2 mph—faster than any humans had ever traveled in a train on rails. As fast as an airplane, but on the ground.

The air pressure made my ears ache.

Frankly, I was happy when it was over—and not because the journey quite literally ended in Champagne.

The chrome and black VISO looked majestic as its engines hummed on the platform near the town of Preny, east ofParis, before Tuesday’s record run.

For its mission to break the speed record, the train was modified with a 25,000-horsepower engine, and adjustments also were made to the track, notably the banking on turns.

The rails were treated so the wheels could make perfect contact, and electrical power in the overhead cable was increased from 25,000 volts to 31,000 volts.

SANDERS from page 1 Two administrators from StudentAffairs —Clay Adams, program coordinator for the Dean of Students Office, and Todd Adams, assistant dean of students for fraternity and sorority life—left a conference early to fly back to campus Tuesday evening in order to be with students.

Sanders was an art history major and graduated from Notre Dame High School in West Haven, Conn., in 2004.

Those who knew Sanders said he will be remembered for his kindness as a friend and enthusiasm as a teammate.

“He made people laugh. He made people feel good,” said Dan Colella, head coach of the men’s swimming team. “He’s going to be sorely missed.”

Sanders’ fraternity brothers in Sigma Nu said he will be remembered for his infectious laugh and his loyalty as a friend.

“Chris’s death came as a shock to all of us. He touched everyone that knew him in ways impossible to express,” the fraternity wrote in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who loved him.”

More than 100 people attended a memorial service for Sanders Tuesday night in the Old Chemistry Building. There will be a formal service in the Duke Chapel Wednesday night at 9 p.m.

whose face was covered in blood when he was carried out of the building on a stretcher, was in critical condition.

The woman who died was identified as Clara Riddles, 22, of College Park, according to Caryn Kboudi, a spokeswoman for the Irving, Texas-based Omni Hotel chain.

Kboudi said Riddles worked at the Atlanta hotel checking and restocking honor bars in the rooms. She said the hotel was not aware ofany domestic problems the woman had.

A portion of the CNN Center was evacuated during the immediate investigation, and people were not allowed in.

Minutes after the shooting, an announcement over the building’s public-address system said there had been gunfire “with potential casualties.” Police cordoned off an area by the escalators near the main entrance of the building, facing Centennial Olympic Park.

“I heard four or five shots. I really didn’t see it. I got out of there quick,” said Jas Stanford, 27, who had been helping take down a temporary stage in the park used for college basketball’s Final Four festivities.

Besides CNN, the complex includes the Omni Hotel, various fast-food and sit-down restaurants, a book store and some souvenir shops. It’s connected to Philips Arena, home of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers. Nearby is the Georgia Dome, the home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and where college basketball’s national championship game was played Monday night.

AERO CONTRACTORS from page 3

“It appears that in flying individuals to overseas torsites, Aero Contractors and its employees have, in addition to having engaged in a conspiracy to violate Mr. El-Masri’s rights under the Constitution and international norms, also violated North Carolina laws,” stated a letter addressed to Governor Mike Easley, Attorney General Roy Cooper and the State Bureau of Investigation from the coalition of organizations advocating for Aero’s investigation.

“The conduct of Aero and its employees may in fact amount to a criminal conspiracy within our state, placing a duty upon our state officials to investigate such acts,” the coalition wrote in the letter.

Christina Cowger, coordinator of North Carolina Stop Torture Now, said she hopes the grassroots movement will eventually result in the removal of Aero from the state.

“Our position is that both the local and the state government should investigate this because extraordinary rendition is a crime,” Cowger said. “Aero Contractors should be shut down completely while this matter is being investigated.” ture

there’s absolutely no exception,” he said.

Aero currently operates from hangar space leased by the state-owned Global TransPark airstrip in Kinston, N.C. GTP is an economic development area in Eastern North Carolina designed to attract investment.

“Our tax dollars are indirecdy sponsoring [extraordinary rendition],” Shahshahani said. “What’s going on [is] in our name and in our money.”

One of the most well known instances of Aero’s involvement with extraordinary rendition involves Khaled El-Masri, a German citizen ofLebanese descent who was transported to a CIA facility in Afghanistan on an Aero flight and detained for five months in 2004.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of El-Masri in November 2005 that was dismissed by a Virginia district judge.

An appeal is currendy being considered by the United States Supreme Court.

DSG ELECTIONS

f^ei

sophomore Sunny Kantha, junior Genevieve Cody and freshman Lucy McKinstry were elected executive vice president, vice president for academic affairs, vice president for athletics and campus services, vice president for community interaction and vice president for student affairs, respectively.

Only the position of vice president for academic affairs required a runoff this year. DSG bylaws state that a

runoff is needed if no candidate receives a majority ofall in their race.

“In the first round of calculating the vote, only the first-place votes are counted,” Fleming said.

In the runoff, the lowest-finishing candidate in the race is dropped and the votes for that student are redistributed to the top two candidates.

Like last year, voters were asked to rank their choices for each position. This allowed the software to conduct an instant runoff in order to prevent the problems that marred the 2005-2006 elections, when a runoff lasted six days.

In the initial race, junior Gina Ireland received 43.03 percent of the votes and sophomore Natalie Barber received 31.31 percent. In the runoff, junior Joshua Kazdin was eliminatedand Ireland won with 59.61 percent of the votes to Barber’s 40.38 percent.

Winners of the five other races received enough votes to render runoffs unnecessary.

Slattery said he is satisfied overall with the students elected to work with him next year. Current President Elliott Wolf, a junior, noted that he believes the Executive Board will be veiy strong.

Wolf said that the winners are a good mix of students who are currently active in DSG and newcomers to the organization. He added that he is pleased that three of the vice presidents are female.

“I think [the new officers] are in a position to pave their own way and continue the success we had this year,” Wolf said.

This year’s voting turnout marked a dramatic decrease from last year’s, when 3,479 students submitted their ballots for the presidential race.

DSG Attorney General George Fleming, a senior, said this year’s turnout is not unprecedented.

“Since 2000, the turnout for DSG Executive Elections has ranged from a low of 36 percent to a high of 57 percent, and today’s turnout of 40 percent lies in between those,” he said.

Last year was the highest turnout in recent years, with 52.4 percent of the student body voting. Slattery said he thought turnout last year may have been higher because there were five candidates vying for the position of president.

Fleming said women’s basketball coach Gail Goestenkors’ decision to leave Duke for the University of Texas and the death of junior Chris Sanders may have negatively affected this year’s voter turnout, as the events coincided with the elections.

Partial Stories of “Displacement a film by Azadeh Saljooghi

Hear the lowdown from past winners, and members of Duke’s International Scholarship Committee

Screening and Q&A with filmmaker Wednesday, April 4th, 2007 6:30-8:00pm Lilly Library’s Thomas Room Light Refreshments will be served

~

this event is free and open to the public

The film locates women’s lives in historical-political contexts, captures displacement beyond geographical dislocations, and invites audiences to view displacement as an empowering rather than a crippling modern phenomenon. The understanding that emerges from displacement comes from six women, including the four who directly share their stories with us

and self-identify as Palestinian- American, African-American, AfghaniAmerican, and Native-American, plus the two others as Romanian and Turkish. These powerful narratives are interwoven with poems by Wislawa Szymborska, Derek Walcott, and prose written by the filmmaker. (30 min.

It was from a woman who had only met Myers once on a golf course, but who said that “in that short time, [she] saw all that [her husband] speaks of so often” and that her husband attributes their marriage to Myers.

In the altogether-too-short time in which I knew Coach Myers, I learned that almost every person who met him has a “Rod Myers story.”

BASEBALL

Nine-run 6th inning leads Duke to victory by

Joe Drews

THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s offense is back After riding a six-mn second inning to an 8-5 upset of No. 1 Florida State Saturday, the Blue Devils (21-11) continued to re-emerge from their offensive slumber, outslugging Davidson 17-12 on the road Tuesday.

Duke took a 5-0 lead before the Wildcats (15-16) responded with a seven-run But the 17 Blue Devils tied it DUKE 12 with two runs in the fifth and tacked on nine more in the sixth to blow the game open.

“That was a great statement by our offense to tie it at seven,” head coach Sean McNally said. “Then we put nine up in the sixth to stretch it out.”

Seven of those runs were unearned, as Duke took advantage of a Davidson miscue to put the game out of reach.

“That’s what good teams do,” McNally said. “When they give you an extra out, you have to take advantage.”

Duke did just that, as a dropped fly ball

by Davidson third baseman Chris Fitzpatrick on the opening at-bat paved the way for Duke’s explosion. Gabriel Saade singled to left to drive in Jeremy Gould and Nate Freiman to break the tie, and 12 Blue Devils came to bat in the inning.

Duke capped off its response with backto-back home runs by Brett Bartles and Freiman, giving the Blue Devils a 16-7 lead

(fourth.

they would never relinquish.

With the win—highlighted by Duke’s 19 hits and .442 batting average—the Blue Devils improve to 19-1 in non-conference play.

Jimmy Gallagher led the team with a 4-for-6 night at the plate, ripping a home run and three doubles while knocking in five runs.

The game was especially important considering Duke’s difficult ACC schedule.

The Blue Devils just finished a series with the Seminoles and take on No. 6 Virginia and second-ranked North Carolina the next two weekends. Duke knew it could not afford to look past the Wildcats.

“We knew that Davidson is one of the top offensive teams in the country,” McNally said. “We were ready to play.”

But not everything went right for the Blue Devils. Davidson scored seven runs in the fourth inning, and Duke’s three errors were a cause for concern.

“We’ve shown throughout the season that we’re a very good defensive team,” McNally said. “Our defense over the weekend and [Tuesday] was not great, but we have very capable defenders.”

Despite struggling on the mound and the field against the Wildcats, Duke will in focus on the offense’s breakthrough performance as it prepares for a difficult series against the Cavaliers.

“We’re going to carry some momentum out of this game,” McNally said. ‘You have to keep trying to find ways to win, and we’re confident we can do that. It was a positive night for us.”

MEN'S GOLF

Blue Devils finish in 9th at NIT by

Meredith Shiner THE CHRONICLE

Unable to overcome its stroke deficit from the first day of play, Duke finished in ninth place Tuesday at the National Invitational Tournament in Tucson, Ariz.

Over their first nine holes, which were played on the back nine, the Blue Devils carded a collective 14 bogeys —leaving them at 9-over heading into the final stretch of play.

Duke fired back on the front nine, however, posting 14 birdies and one eagle.

Senior Jake Grodzinsky led the charge with four birdies and carded a 3-under 69—his best round of the tournament and the team’s best of the day.

After his solid third-round performance, Grodzinsky moved up 23 spots on

SHINER from page 11 people feel so connected to him when he was alive and saddened when he passed.

I’d like to share a few of the hundreds of Coach Myers stories that have recendy surfaced, particularly a more light-hearted one. That would be a fitting tribute to a man who took his job and his success seriously but never hesitated to crack a joke along the way.

Almost every person I have interviewed about Myers has said that he was like a second father, someone the players trusted and looked to for guidance. Mike Casdeforte —a Duke golfer from 2002 to 2004 and the author of the letter to Myers that ran in Golfweek in early March shared one of his favorite Myers stories and another way the coach was like a father to the team.

The Blue Devils were in Evanston, 111. for a tournament at Northwestern. Like on most other road trips, the team rented —

the leaderboard and into 43rd place “I’m proud of how [the team] finished strong,” interim head coach Brad Sparling said. “They were all fighting and balding. It was a really hard week emotionally and physically. They were tired and didn’t have much left in the tank.”

The Blue Devils shot a 6-over 870 for the tournament, with sophomore Clark Klaasen completing his round as Duke’s top finisher in a tie for 29th place.

Freshmen Jeff Edelman and Adam Long finished in a tie for 34th after both carding 4-over 74s Tuesday and going 3over in their three rounds of play.

Overall, Sparling was much more pleased with the Blue Devils’ performance in Round 3 than he was after the first day’s action, when he felt the team was making a van so the players could travel with their clubs. Casdeforte said that as Myers was driving, he and his teammates noticed a group of girls dressed to go out and said, “Look Coach, Northwestern girls!” Just like a father who wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to give his sons a hard time, Myers pulled up to the curb, opened the automatic side door from his driver’s seat and let his players say hello to the lovely Wildcat ladies.

“He just waved and got this big smile on his face and said, ‘Hi girls,’ and didn’t pull away until we were totally embarrassed,” Casdeforte said.

Because the team travels so much and over such great distances, some of the best stories are also the simplest ones the ones about the players in vans or going to dinner or hitting the range with their coach.

And they loved spending time with him, right up to the end.

The current Duke players got the opportunity to visit Myers while he was re—

too many mental errors and course-man-

agement mistakes.

“They did a much better job of making decisions—of what shots to hit and where—and that paid off in better scores,” Sparling said.

Duke was able to play more consistently from hole to hole than it had in the first two rounds, and no Blue Devil recorded anything higher than a bogey

Tuesday.

“We just played better today,” junior Michael Schachner said. “There were only a couple holes that gave us trouble yesterday, and we played those better.”

The team will take a few days off before returning to practice, when the players will focus in on their short games, Sparling said.

Senior Jake Grodzinsky shot Duke's best round of the tournament Tuesday, carding a 3-under-par 69.

covering from his treatments. At that point, he was not in the best physical condition, but how he was feeling was secondary to how he wanted his players to feel.

“It was a really special thing for me,” senior Jake Grodzinsky said. “Even with him going through all this crazy stuff, he was still real present and doing everything he could...to make us feel better about it—just looking us in the eye, holding our hands.”

Throughout his life, Myers’ players and his program came first.

In August, I met with Myers at the Karcher-Ingram Center, and we talked for two hours—which shouldn’t have surprised me considering this was the same man who stepped away from the tee-box and into a hazard when All-American Ryan Blaum was finishing his practice round for the NCAAs to talk with some lowly freshman reporter on the phone.

I didn’trealize until sitting with junior Michael Schachner two weeks ago why Myers spent so much time showing me

every room and luxury in the Center. Sitting on a cart facing the Center, Schachner said, “This is what he probably dreamt that Duke golf would turn into.”

Myers was living his dream, which seemed so appropriate for a man who dedicated his life to cultivating the aspirations of young men.

Blaum, who is now a professional on the Nationwide Tour, said it best.

“Each player that came, each student that came, [Myers] had an unsurpassed knowledge of golf and improved their golf games, but he also improved their characters,” Blaum said. “Not only did he demonstrate that through his character, but he demands that from his players.

The ages of 18 to 22 are such influential ages, and he was able to mold lives for years to come.”

It’s clear that the man who players affectionately called “Coachie” was taken from us too soon. There are a lot of young men out there still needing to be molded.

“Duke stood up for Gail in both its reawards for coach of the year. Throughout sources and salary support,” said Dr. Henry her travels, Goestenkors remained noncommittal on her future, saying she needed Friedman, a supporter of the women’s program and the deputy director of The Pretime to ponder the life-changing choice.

Goestenkors arrived at Duke in 1992, taking over a program that had reached just one NCAA Tournament in its 17 previous years of existence. Since then, Duke has become one of the nation’s elite programs, making it to the Final Four in four out of the past eight seasons.

She will likely be remembered for bringing the program to new heights, but also for her failure to win an NCAA tide in her two trips to the national championship game.

“We respect her decision and wish her the best of luck in her new role,” Alieva ROB GOODLATTE/THE CHRONICLE said. “We thank her for all of her years of Gail Goestenkors served as Duke's head coach for 15 service and the job she did while building seasons before deciding to leave to take Texas'job. our program.”

Chris Plonsky, a longtime acquaintance of Goestenkors’—and the women’s team practices in a 44,000-sq. ft. facility, which includes a court exclusively for its use. At Duke, the women’s team is forced to share court space in Cameron Indoor Stadium with the volleyball and men’s basketball teams.

Brodhead and Alieva were correct to point out that nonfinancial considerations influenced Coach G’s decision to migrate to the Lone Star State. But that is precisely the problem. When her salary options were equal, Goestenkors chose to leave—what was once, at least —one of the most prestigious athletic departments in the country on the heels of the greatest regular season in the history of

ACC women’s basketball. This raises serious questions about the ability of administrators in the athletics department when it comes to retaining talent.

Alieva and his staff have alienated influential boosters by blasely allowing a great coach to slip through their fingers. The loss of Coach G also exacerbates the impression that at Duke, all other sports take a distant backseat to men’s basketball. This makes it significantly harder to persuade prospective coaches and female athletes that they have equal standing with their male counterparts.

The athletics department must learn from its mistakes in the Goestenkors bidding war if it hopes to stay competitive in the contest for great women athletes and coaches.

When Alieva was asked why Goestenkors’ compensation pales in comparison to Tennessee’s Pat Summitt and Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma, he said, “They’ve both won a lot of national championships and are part of programs that make money for their institutions;” adding, “I’m sure some of these other institutions will offer significantly large packages to encourage her to go.” Alieva later backtracked on his statements—and reportedly met Texas’ salary offer—but the damage was done.

To be sure, the Longhorns have a stronger women’s basketball infrastructure than Duke does. Texas has its own women’s athletics director—

Let’s

talk about tuberculosis. The first effective

therapy for TB, streptomycin, was developed in 1944. Today, TB is a preventable and curable disease, and yet the World Health Organiza-

tion estimates that it kills up to 5000 people every day. In 2004, 80 percent of the 9 million new TB cases were concentrated in 22 countries, mostly in Africa and Asia.

Or we can talk about HIV/AIDS. The first drug to treat AIDS, AZT (zidovudine), was approved by the FDA in 1987.

Since then, a host of antiretroviral agents (ARVs) have significantly improved the survival rate and health outcomes for persons living with HIV in the United UAEM States. Yet, in 2006, out of the 39.5 mila wider perspective lion people living with HIV, 24.7 million of them lived in sub-Saharan Africa, and as of June 2006, a little more than 1.6 million people living with HIV were receiving ARV therapy in low and middle income countries.

You get the point: At the end of a long list of infectious diseases that are preventable, treatable and in many cases curable, there remains a fundamental series of questions that demand intelligent answers.

Why are people at this very moment dying of diseases that we are well prepared to treat? Why do global health disparities still exist and whose responsibility is it to eliminate them?

In the age of neoliberalism and free market capitalism, a few answers come to mind. The modern pharmaceutical establishment in the developed world functions as a multi-billion dollar industry that produces many of the life-saving treatments we currently have. However, pharmaceutical research and development is fueled by the ability to generate profits from drugs developed for and sold to wealthy citizens of wealthy nations. Ironically, those who can not afford these medicines are often the ones who need them the most. This has led to devastating inequality in access to life.

For those who believe that health care is a basic human right, restricting access to life-saving medication is unacceptable. Luckily, we as students and faculty at a major American research institution are in a unique position to reject and revolutionize these policies. American universities have long been important in the early stages of the development of life-saving medication. The active ingredients in the drugs that are marketed by pharmaceu-

tical companies are often developed by universityemployed scientists. These innovations are then patented and licensed out by the university to pharmaceutical companies who continue to develop the drugs. Unfortunately, the university is pressured to license these medicines on the financial terms of profit-driven companies that are not rewarded for providing for the poor.

Take, for example, the case of Yale University and the HIV drug d4T or stavudine. D4T was invented by a Yale professor and was originally licensed exclusively to Bristol-Meyers Squibb. In February 2001, Doctors Without Borders requested Yale’s permission to use a generic version of d4T in South Africa. Yale initially refused to consider the proposal. However, this position quickly elicited protest from a group of outraged Yale Law School students, who believed that a university’s humanitarian goals should outweigh any immediate financial earnings. Under intense student pressure, Yale eventually conceded in negotiating with Bristol-Meyers for emergency patent relief and price cuts on the drug throughout Africa.

More recent advances at universities throughout the country have resulted in the public release of a document entitled “In the Public Interest: Nine Points to Consider in Licensing University Technology.” Developed by eleven top U.S. research universities and the Association of American Medical Colleges, the document openly commits to policy changes’that would make university inventions more widely available in developing nations.

Unfortunately, our own University is not among the signatories. As one of the top research institutions in the country, Duke has incredible potential to contribute to this ever-growing movement of increased access to essential medicines and health technology. As students and faculty, it is our responsibility to ensure that Duke achieves its humanitarian goals by ensuring global access to its innovations. To do this, we must raise our voice and encourage the University to document publicly its commitment to equitable access licensing around the world. Once we have openly rejected exploitative licensing policies we can begin to consider ourselves a global, humanitarian institution.

This is the third in a series of columns this semester written and supported by members of several campus groups. The goal of the series is to raise awareness and to educate on a select group of issues related to sustainability, human rights and health care with a global perspective.

I can’t believe it’s not Jesus

that. .

Holy

chocolate Jesus, Batman, is a holy chocolate Jesus? In the anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better world of postmodern art, innovation wins the most points. Sometimes this results in a Jackson Pollack-style reinvention of the form, but other times it results in excrement... literally. Life as art, food as art, Jesus as art, it’s all been done.

So how does an artist create something wholly original? How about the life ofJesus as food as art?

Early last week, MSN.com featured an article on the controversy surrounding a life-size anatomically correct sculpture of Jesus that was intended to be displayed in a Manhattan hotel art gallery beginning the week of Easter. Sculpted from 200 pounds of chocolate, “My Sweet Lord” depicts the crucified Christ in a manner that is apparently

iacaui uciwnci detwiler JCU.IJUI

completely unacceptable to

the Catholics of New York.

Bandying about phrases like “morally bankrupt,” and “sickening display,” members of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights actually applied enough pressure that the hotel has cancelled the exhibition.

This is utterly shocking in light of National Enquirer accounts of recent acts of God. A man in a Waffle House in East Bumble unearths the image of the Virgin Mary in his chocolate chip pancakes and it’s declared a miracle. A card-carrying artist painstakingly sculpts theLord’s son out ofchocolate and it’s an abomination. Has anyone involved in this controversy ever actually attempted to carve anything into chocolate? I can’t even make chocolate curls for cupcakes. In fact, one time I tried to make miniature letters out of gum for a friend’s work project and almost lost a finger.

The last few controversies about Christianity-themed art focused on a fecal mother of God and a urinary Jesus, which is slightly more understandable, given the obviously negative connotation behind sculpting things out of excrement. These arguments also centered on the implications of the art itself, which I believe is the point. Like for instance, that using poo as a medium to display the good lord implies that you think said good lord is a piece of —.

What then is the primary issue in the case of the tasty chocolate Jesus? Well, thus far no one’s mentioned idolatry, although in my particular case—notto mention the case of most PMSing women —it’s obviously a concern. The controversy also doesn’t appear to involve the material itself—that the statue may end up melted and reused in a batch of Chunky Chips Ahoy, that some hungry kid might take the “eat this and remember me” line a bit too seriously, or that the chocolate is not uniformly distributed and homeslice looks a tad splotchy.

No, it appears the Catholic group has taken on as their cause celebre the fact that, *gasp* we can see the lord’s penis. It appears the artist, Cosimo Cavallaro of Canada, has omitted the obligatory loincloth from his non-traditional portrayal.

Funny, I thought the big deal about Jesus was that he was made flesh like us other dirty humans. Are there actually people who thought that didn’t include the naughty bits? I feel that there is enough injustice in the world that the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights can find something more important to protest. Like, for instance, the unbridled hatred and genocide perpetrated daily in the name of God instead of a depiction of Jesus in a decidedly human, and therefore ostensibly naturally beautiful, form.

The MSN article ended with a description of the artist’s other works, which include coating an entire house in cheese and plastering ham all over a four-poster bed. Can we really be this upset at a guy who is just having a good time with his lunch? I mean, who hasn’t plastered ham all over a fourposter bed? I think I did that to an ex-boyfriend one time.

Not to give you any ideas or anything; I doubt chocolate Jesus would approve.

please hire, desperate.

Feminist patriarchy strong..

But why is it important for a woman to be able to feel like a girl in the first place? Is it because femininity gets you further in the world than feminism? And if so, who creates that world? Men, or other women?

With the power of patriarchal rhetoric on their side, many feminists have been known to play into the traditional demands of femininity in an attempt to somehow subvert it. To paraphrase feminist and political theorist Linda Zerilli, these women don’t need a cluded everything from man to tell them to be feminine. Instead, they socialpothead moms to braly construct their own femininity... and they become burning to the new complicit in their own subjection.
