After 32 years as the University’s Director ofFinancial Aid, James Belvin will retire this summer, President Richard Brodhead announced Monday.

During his tenure, Belvin has increased the number of students on need-based aid, streamlined on-eampus student employment and centralized loan-based aid. Off campus, he has served as a College Board trustee and chaired the 568 Presidents’ Group, a congregation of private colleges that derived a plan for awarding aid based on demonstrated financial need.

He has also led Duke’s efforts to establish a need-blind admissions policy that admits students on the basis of merit, rather than their ability to pay for college.

“Jim Belvin knows the nuts and bolts of financial aid as well as anyone in his trade, but he’s always had his eyes on the real goal: creating opportunity by making education affordable to all,” Brodhead said in a public statement Monday. “Duke has been extraordinarily fortunate to have a person of his ability in this crucial position.”

Last December, Belvin worked with Brodhead and Provost Peter Lange to institute financial aid measures that eliminate parental contributions for families with incomes under $60,000 and guarantee debt-free SEE BELVIN ON PAGE

the 2008-2009 academic year, selective living group members confirmed Monday.

Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity and Phi Delta Theta fraternity will both be relocated to Keohane Quadrangle; Kappa Alpha Order will occupy the former Beta Theta Pi fraternity section in Craven Quadrangle; Prism will move to Wannamaker Quadrangle and Round Table will be placed in Kilgo Quadrangle.

The shuffling of sections is necessitated by the scheduled Few Quad renovations in Fall 2008, and groups will move back to Few Quad for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Selective living group members said they are satisfied with the results.

“We’re extremely pleased. [Keohane Quad] was our first choice,” said AEPi President Matt Sperber, a senior. “The rooms are new, the hallways are big.... We couldn’t be happier with how it worked out.”

Residence life and Housing Services had originally presented the groups with five different options for the next academic year, including splitting up theirsections between West and Central campuses and not having a section.

Campus Council representatives previously told The Chronicle that not all of the selective living groups in Few Quad would remain on West because the ratio ofaffiliated students to independent students could not exceed a certain percentage.

Since then, RLHS has made adjustments

When a former colleague of Corey Cleek, Fuqua ’OO, approached him in 2006 about starting an online classifieds Web site for college students, Cleek immediately jumped at the opportunity.

“When Ryan [MacCarthy] initially asked me, I knew it was right down my alley,” Cleek said. “The core team of four of us came together and we launched the first site at [the University ofCalifornia at] Santa Barbara in January 2007.”

The Web site, Uloop.com, made its Duke debut Friday and had around 100 registered users by the end of the day. It allows students to buy and sell textbooks and furniture, find jobs and post events, among other things.

The site tries to distinguish itself from its much larger SEE ULOOP ON PAGE 7

SLGS from page 1 to its policy to

accommodate the groups on West.

Campus Council President Ryan Todd, a senior; said RLHS is considering temporarily suspending the agreement it has with selective living groups that requires all members to live in their group’s section for two years, which should reduce the size of some sections.

Oversized singles and doubles will become doubles and triples, respectively, which will also make more bed spaces available on West, Todd said.

This year, 32.7 percent of students living on West reside in a selective living group section. Next year, once the selective living groups in Few Quad have relocated, that percentage will not exceed 40 percent, said Campus Council Vice President Kevin Thompson, a junior.

The chances of independent juniors getting housing on West next year will be roughly the same as this year because of the steps RLHS will take, he added. “[This plan] works perfectly with our system,” Todd said. “We’re not in a crunch anymore.”

Even so, sophomores who do not plan to go abroad

next fall have expressed concern that the rise in the number of rooms reserved for selective living groups will make it difficult for them to find housing on West next year.

“I [am] probably going to live on Central next year, [but] for the people who want to live on West, they shouldn’t have to compete with selective living groups,” sophomore Kevin Tolson said. “I know a lot of people who want to live on West, and if the selective living groups take up all the spots, you’re going to end up on Central. I just don’t feel like that’s really that fair.”

Sophomore Katie Henderson said she does not plan to participate in the early-release lottery for the Class of 2010 that would allow her to live off campus her junior year because she wants to be close to friends. She added that she is worried that she will not get housing on West.

“I’m very concerned about this because I love living on West and I have no desire to live anywhere else,” she said.

“I’m an independent, and since that’s lowering my chances of getting housing on West, it seems unfair. But then again it’s not their fault [the selective living groups] are getting kicked out of their quad. It’s just an unfortunate situation.”

RLHS officials could not be reached for comment Monday.

the implementation of the recently announced [financial aid] enhancements, it’s the best possible time,” he said.

“One should go when one has his or her health and can enjoy life.”

Belvin said his decision to retire does not stem from a lack ofaffection for Duke, adding that he feels great gratitude toward the University and will miss his students and colleagues.

The search for a new director will begin in mid-February and continue for three to four months, but a new director will not initiate many changes, Lange said.

“I don’t foresee any dramatic changes,” he said. “We’ll be looking for a director through a national search, looking for the absolutely best person to implement our new programs.”

Dean of Undergraduate Education Steve Nowicki will lead a committee in the search to replace Belvin.

“We are looking for someone who is a national leader of the stature of Jim Belvin,” Nowicki said.

Lange said Belvin is scheduled to retire June 30 but has agreed to serve until Jan. 1, 2009, if a new director has not been hired by the summer.

“I’ll have the opportunity to implement the [financial aid] enhancements, put them in place and make sure they’re on the right track,” Belvin said. “I will not be leaving until they are working and in place.”

Although his retirement was only recently announced, Belvin said he has been planning it for several years and notified Lange ofhis decision in November.

After retirement, he plans to continue volunteering for the Boys and Girls Club, playing golf and reading more books, he said.

Lange said he has a positive outlook for Duke’s financial aid.

“Change happens,” he said. “Jim’s been here a long time and he’s done a fabulous job. He leaves big shoes to fill, but I’m very confident we can hire a new person for the next phase.”

Bush completes weapons sale to Saudi Arabia by

Terence Hunt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia President George W. Bush delivered a sophisticated weapons sale for Saudi Arabia Monday, trying to bolster defenses against threats from U.S. adversary Iran and muster support in this oil-rich kingdom for a long-stalled Mideast peace agreement.

On a surprisingly cold day with blustery winds, Bush received a warm embrace from King Abdullah, whose family wields almost absolute rule. Among ordinary Saudis and across much of the Mideast, Bush is unpopular, particularly because of the Iraq war and unflinching U.S. support for Israel.

Bush and Abdullah were going to some lengths over two days to emphasize their strong personal ties.

Saudi Arabia holds the world’s largest oil reserves and surging fuel costs are putting a major strain on the troubled U.S. economy. But White House officials said it was unclear if Bush raised the subject with the king. The issue has come up in earlier stops on Bush’s eight-day trip, largely in the context of his quest for alternate fuels and sources of energy, the officials said.

White House counselor Ed Gillespie said Mideast leadershave “talked about the nature of the market and the vast demand that’s on the world market today for oil.” He said diat was “a legitimate and accurate point.”

Bush, who dislikes late nights, also stayed up well past his regular 9:30 p.m. beddme for after-dinner talks with the king in the walled compound of his opulent palace.

Its marble floors and walls contain sheets of gold, colored with precious stones and embedded jewels.

In a show of hospitality, the king invited Bush to come Tuesday to his lavish horse

Bush (left) holds the King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit that was presented to him by Saudi King Abdullah (right) at Riyadh Palace Monday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. farm where 150 Arabian stallions are stabled. The visit, including an overnight by Bush, is a payback for the president hosting Abdullah at his Texas ranch.

U.S. officials said much of conversation over Monday’s palace dinner was about chill temperatures that dropped into the 40s. Gillespie said there were predictions for snow Tuesday, the first to fall here since 1968.

Coinciding with Bush’s arrival, the administration officially notified Congress it will offer Saudi Arabia sophisticated Joint Direct Attack Munitions—or “smart bomb”—technology and related equip-

ment. The deal envisions the transfer of 900 of the precision-guided bomb kits, worth $123 million, that would give Saudi forces highly accurate targeting abilities.

Some lawmakers fear the systems could be used against Israel but Congress appears unlikely to block the deal because ofSaudi Arabia’s cooperation in the war on terror and in deterring aggression from Iran.

The United States already has notified Congress of five other packages to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, including Patriot missiles. The total amount of eventual sales as part of the Gulf

Security Dialogue is estimated at $2O billion, a figure subject to actual purchases.

The sales are a key element in Bush’s strategy to shore up defenses against Iran, which the president has deemed the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, with majority Sunni Muslim populations, harbor deep suspicions about Shiite Iran’s rising power and want to make sure the U.S. remains committed to keeping Tehran’s ambitions in check. At the same time, Arab allies are worried that the world economy would suffer heavily if the U.S. dispute with Iran turns into a military confrontation.

On Mideast peace, Saudi Arabia handed Bush a coup by taking part in the U.S.-sponsored Mideast peace conference in Annapolis, Md., in November. Bush was expected to encourage Saudi Arabia during his visit to use some of its vast wealth to help struggling Palestinians build the foundations of a future state. Bush also sees support from Arab neighbors as crucial to the Palestinian leadership being able to successfully negotiate with Israel over borders and other contentious issues.

Abdullah, for his part, was expected to urge Bush to keep up the pressure on Israel to halt setdements in Palestinian territories.

Bush’s drive to spread democracy across the Mideast was another likely topic. The king has tried to push some reforms on education and women’s rights and there have been limited municipal council elections. But he has been cautious and limited in his effort.

Posing for pictures, the king and the president did not speak about political matters. Abdullah presented Bush with what appeared to be a medallion of gold with white and green stones, suspended from a gold palm tree emblem with crossed swords.

THE chronicle from page 2

“I will not rest until Michigan is back,” said Romney, a native son who jabbed at his rival for saying many jobs among the thousands lost will never return.

“We will create newjobs,” insisted McCain, who also favors improvements in federal programs for laid-offworkers. ‘We have the innovation, the talent, the knowledge and the ability... to regain Michigan’s position as the best in the world.”

Polls showed McCain and Romney in a close race, with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee running third.

Of the three, Romney is most in need of a victory as he looks to restore at least some of the luster lost with defeats in the lowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. Several associates have suggested the former Massachusetts governor may quit the race unless he prevails.

McCain won the state’s primary eight years ago on the strength of independent voters, and hopes for a reprise Tuesday. He has regained the lead in the national polls that he enjoyed months ago—before his campaign nearly came apart over the summer.

Huckabee has less at stake in Michigan than either of his two rivals, and hopes to attract votes from those hard-hit by the state’s economic troubles, as well as from evangelical Christians, who powered him to victory in the lowa caucuses.

He, too, campaigned on economic issues during the day.

“Some of the toughest competition your company faces is from its own government, whose tax policies, whose regulatory policies, the threat of litigation, makes it real tough to stay in business,” he told employees at a Demmer Corp. plant near Lansing that makes armored personnel carriers for the military.

Romney went before the Detroit Economic Club for a speech meant to appeal to laid-off workers as well as voters who recall his father’s tenure as governor a generation ago.

“I’ve got Michigan in my DNA. I’ve got it in my heart, and I’ve got cars in my bloodstream,” he said. A former Massachusetts governor, Romney promised to convene a White House summit within 100 days of taking office to produce a solution to the auto industry’s long-term slide.

In remarks that could apply to President George W. Bush and the Republicans who controlled Congress for a decade, he said, “Washington politicians look at Michigan and see a rust belt. But the real fust is in Washington.”

McCain spoke constantly of the productivity of Michigan workers. “As president of the United States, I will herald a new day for Michigan,” he said.

Among other Republicans, former Sen. Fred Thompson is making a last stand in South Carolina, which has a primary next Saturday. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani campaigned in Florida, where he hopes to resurrect his flagging campaign in the Jan. 29 primary.

For much of the day, bothClinton and Obamaseemed content to engage in increasingly accusatory campaign tactics.

Campaigning in Nevada, Obama, said some of his opponents “don’t seem to have anything positive to say about their own record. All they’re trying to do is run me down.”

Obama, seeking to become the first black president, didn’t mention Clinton by name. But the reference was unmistakable after days ofrace-related controversy, and as her campaign arranged a conference call to criticize his record on abortion.

Rangel’s remarks were the second critical ofObama in as many days by a black surrogate campaigner. On Sunday, businessman Robert Johnson appeared to make a veiled reference to Obama’s self-disclosed drug use as a youth—although he quickly disputed that was his intent.

Instructor: Taylor

This seminar will document the aging ofAmerican society and how this and related demographic changes will influence how long term care will be provided in the future. Long term care is broadly defined as help and support provided to persons with disability that allows them to function as well as they are able. Nursing home care is included in this definition, but many other types of care are also included such as informal (unpaid) care provided by family members. Specific topics to be covered include causes of disease/disability, current financing of long term care, why private long term care insurance is rare, the link between retirement, social security and long term care, and the cost of long term care to society.

PUBPOL 264.11 Economics of Reparation Instructor: Darity This course will explore the rationale for compensatory payment for a grievous injustice to a group that has been demarcated racially or ethnically. Special attention will be drawn to the case for and against reparations for African Americans, historical precedents for payment of reparations, and casino rights mechanisms as a form of reparations for native Americans in the USA.

PUBPOL 2645.21 Women and Public Policy Instructor: Goss American women have been in the forefront of virtually every major social and political reform movement in American history, from the battle to ban alcohol and cigarettes to efforts to establish a national kindergarten system and the United Nations. This course considers the role of women in the American policy-making process as voters, voluntary association activists, social-movement participants, and elected officials.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. As the Blue Devils filed out of the Comcast Center with solemn faces and heads hung low, a scream on the loudspeakers could only rub salt in the wounds.

“We beat Duke!”

0 <llll6 senior forward Laura analysis Harper yelled, punctuated by a shriek of joy as Maryland celebrated in the middle of the court, excited at finally earning the home victory that had eluded it the last 10 years.

Although Harper was speaking for the entire squad, the statement may have rung even truer for the three Maryland post players. Along with the senior, center Crystal Langhorne and small forward Marissa Coleman constituted the majority of the Terrapins’ offense, scoring an overwhelming 59 of their 85 points. In comparison, their Blue Devil counterparts failed to deliver, as the trio of Chante Black, Joy Cheek and Carrem Gay accounted for only 17 Duke points.

Perhaps Blue Devils guard Wanisha Smith reacted best to the staggering numbers when she repeated the Maryland total and simply looked down.

And in a game with dangerous sharpshooters on both squads, no one was deadlier than Coleman, who tied her career high with a dominating 30-point performance.

“She’s a matchup nightmare,” Maryland head coach Brenda Frese said. “Duke had no answer for Marissa.”

COLLEGE PARK, Md. With the lights dimmed on a raucous crowd of 15,531 in the Comcast Center Monday night, two pillars offire blazed at halfcourt as each Maryland starter was announced.

But when the gimmicky pyrotechnics were taken away, the No. 4 Terrapins had fireenough to keep power DUKE -70 the fifth-largest MARYLAND crowd in ACC history on its feet and the No. 10 Blue Devils at bay, fending off any attempt at a Duke run with depth, speed and an attacking, experienced inside presence en route to an 85-70 win.

The victory, which was Maryland’s first over the Blue Devils in College Park since Jan. 30, 1998, made the Terrapins the first team in the country to reach 20 wins.

“Pride, obviously, is a big thing in this rivalry,” Maryland senior Laura Harper said.

“We wanted to end this streak. As much as we didn’t want to say it, that was something that was important for us. And it just feels so good to finally say that as a senior now, we did it, and it’s over.”

Fueled by the team’s four junior and senior starters—who combined for 80 points and 27 rebounds—the Terrapins played like a team thatrefused to give in to the weight of the historic rivalry, even when the game seemed to be falling into Duke’s hands.

With just under six minutes left in the game and down 68-67, Duke senior Wanisha Smith was at the line with a chance to give her team its first lead in a game in which it had trailed by as many as 13.

Smith connected on the first but missed the second, and the Terrapins (20-1, 3-0 in the ACC) pulled down the rebound and pushed the ball up the floor. On the ensuing play, center Crystal Langhorne drove ——

Lindsey hardly belongs in Cameron’s rafters This Sunday, Lindsey Harding will become Duke’s second women’s basketball player to have her jersey retired in the rafters ofCameron Indoor Stadium. I, for one, do not see the occasion as reason for celebration.

In electing to retire Harding’s jersey, Duke is placing Harding alongside the most accomplished athletic company in school history. There have just 14 basketball players to have their jerseys retired in school history—l 3 men, and one woman, Alana Beard—making induction areg into the club more exclusive than any other athletic honor at this University, even more so than the Hall ofFame In recent years, Duke has established two primary criteria forjersey retirements. The first is for the student-athlete to receive some type of distinguished recognition for his or her contribution. Most retired players have won National Player of the Year, but other distinctions such as Defensive Player of the Year or setting some type of school or NCAA record have also been considered. Harding did all of these as a senior, winning the player and defensive player of the year awards and setting Duke’s all-time assists record. The

second unofficial guiding requirement is for the player to graduate from Duke. Harding did that too.

On paper, her resume reads as if she should be a shoe-in for jersey retirement—except for one little fact: Harding sat out the entire 2004-05 season because of a “violation of team rules,” which is college sports’ umbrella category for an indiscretion that the school, player or both does not wish to publicly disclose. That is, assuming that arriving late for the team bus did not warrant a year-long suspension in former head coach Gail Goestenkors’rulebook.

The public will likely never be quite sure why Harding' missed whatwould have been her junior year, even though it seems at times as if the entire student body has heard the rumors. In some senses that is OK; the cause for Harding’s suspension is her business, and we should leave it at that.

But the discussion needs to be more complicated than that. Last week I spoke with Georgia Beasley—formerly Georgia Schweitzer, who after Harding and Beard is probably the third-most accomplished women’s player in Duke history. Beasley emphasized that Harding had made the best of her second chance and should be honored for her

accomplishments.

THE CHRONICLE

10 I TUESDAY, JANUARY 15,2008

COLEMAN from page 9 Although several Blue Devils attempted

to shut down the 6-foot-l junior, every big bucket seemed to come out ofColeman’s hands. Whether it was two big shots from behind the arc to finish out the first half and create a wave of momentum, or a

finish up the fast break, her versatility exposed Duke’s holes on the defensive end.

Although the Maryland fans were hardly silent, Coleman’s buckets seemed to intensify the atmosphere, causing the crowd to come to a deafening roar in the final minutes of the first half. Even when she wasn’t delivering a key basket, Coleman’s enthusiasm remained a catalyst for both her teammates and the home crowd.

Even as the Blue Devils tried to push back in the final three minutes in an attempt to close the gap, it was once again Coleman who delivered the final blow: a three-pointer from the comer to give Maryland an 11-point lead.

“Marissa was a difference maker in the

ZACHARY TRACER/THE CHRONICLE

Duke's Abby Waner and Maryland's Kristi Toliver fight for a looseball during the Terrapins'Bs-70 win Monday.

W. BBALL from page 9 down the middle of the lane, turned and knocked down a right-handed hook that energized the fans, deflated the Blue Devils and gave her team the lead for good.

Maryland would score eight points over the next 72 seconds, flustering Duke and closing out the contest on a 17-2 run.

“Never, at any point in the game, was I thinking that we were going to lose,” said junior Marissa Coleman, who tied her careerhigh with 30 points Monday evening. “We knew [the Blue Devils] were going to go on a run—they’re a great team...and it’s about pride, so of course they were going to give us all they had. We knew it was going to come down to us making stops on defense.”

While the Terrapins clamped down on defense, Duke (13-4, 2-1) struggled to contain the multifaceted Maryland attack. And in no statistic was this exposed more than in the free-throw differential between the two teams. The Blue Devils sent the Terrapins to the line 42 times, as they seemed a step slow on the perimeter and a bit too weak inside.

Duke, on the other hand, attempted just 16 free throws. The 6-foot-l Coleman sank eight of her 11 attempts from the charity stripe, while point guard Kristi Toliver went 10-of-13. Maryland was in the bonus halfway

through the first period and 13 minutes into

the second, and the 33 points from the line proved to be insurmountablefor Duke.

“I’d like to know if any team has ever shot more than 42 free throws in a game,” Blue Devils head coach Joanne P. McCallie said with frustration after the game. “Is that a world record or something?”

Forward Joy Cheek fouled out with five minutes left in the game and Duke trailing by four, which seemed to end any hope for a Duke victory on a night when the athletic and powerful Maryland frountcourt combined for 59 points. With junior Chante Black held to a season-low four points—in large part due to a hyper-extended knee suffered in the first half—the shortening of the Duke’s frontcourt rotation was too much for the overmatched team to bear.

As the clock wound down on the Maryland victory, and the end of a decade-long run, the Blue Devils walked dejectedly off the court and the Terrapins celebrated at center court, unable to contain their elation. The crowd was back on its feet, just where it had been two hours earlier.

Maryland hopes it can carry that fire through its ACC slate, much like Duke did last year, while the Blue Devils can only hope they find their own flame, their own identity, in one of the nation’s toughest conferences.

BEATON from page 9 “Everyone knows she made a mistake,” Beasley said. “She’s the first person willing

Lindsey Harding will have her jerseyretired at halftime of the Blue Devils' January 20 game against N.CState.

to admit that. She did something wrong.

Plenty of people have done the same thing at college. She got a second chance and did the most of it.”

I agree with Beasley, except for one detail. Harding never really admitted it.

When she returned at the beginning of the 2005-06 season, the one in which her team came oh-so-close to winning the national championship, Harding’s coach and teammates spoke of how she had apologized for what she had done and was ready to move forward. But the fans and members of the media who still wondered what had happened, why Duke’s point guard had been sidelined for an entire year with no explanation, were all shut out.

Putting speculation about the specific infraction aside, fans and media are usually willing to accept honest apologies and move forward. For an example of the right way to deal with a problem, the Duke community should look to Zack Asack, who was willing to publicly speak of his indiscretion after being punished. Asack probably will not win a Heisman Trophy, but I have the utmost respect for his handling of the situation.

It is unclear why Harding did not do the same, as the public would likely have quickly moved on from a rules violation that did

game,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “She’s a great player. She made terrific plays and has an awful lot of confidence in her shooting.”

While Coleman seemed unstoppable from any point on the court,'Duke may have had a chance had its own post players come through in the clutch. Following a 19-p"oint performance Friday night against Florida State, Black was held to a season-low four points. Cheek and Gay did not fare much better against the overwhelming physical presence of Maryland, with neither player able to break double digits.

Coleman’s offensive explosion was undoubtedly the difference on a night where the teams were comparable on the boards and in second-chance points.

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, Coleman is only the first of many talented forwards Duke will soon face, with Tennessee’s Candace Parker and North Carolina’s Erlana Larkins on the schedule in the next month.

But for now, Duke can only think about the player who got the best of the Blue Devils Monday night.

“It’s a tough pill to swallow when she drops 30 points on us and we lose,” junior Abby Waner said.

Kind ofmakes you want to shriek. not involve the breaking of any laws and did not even cause a suspension from the

University like Asack’s did.

“A player’s conduct both on and off the court are considered when making the determination whether a jersey is retired at Duke,” Jon Jackson, Duke’s Associate Athletics Director for Communication wrote in an e-mail. “In this specific instance, of course it was discussed. Lindsey’s absence from the women’s basketball program was handled internally and appropriately. She is completely deserving of this honor and we look forward to a wonderful afternoon in Cameron Indoor Stadium on January 20.”

But that is the beauty of cloaking the suspension in a “violation of team rules” and refusing to discuss it even three years later, right? Nobody will ever know whether rumors that the punishment did not fit the crime were true. People will continue to whisper over something that could have been put to rest with a little honesty.

If it were so important that whatever happened stay between Harding and her teammates and coaches, then Duke should have kept her accomplishments in the record books—not in Cameron’s rafters.

In an e-mail late last week in response to my inquiry, President Brodhead wrote to me; “It’s always pretty thrilling when these ceremonies take place; next week’s will be as well.”

Under these circumstances, I respect-

fully disagree.

professors that would make “direct contributions,” and numerous of such instructors within a single department is one good way to augment the educational experience for students.

In addition, the opportunities that these funds afford to the University should attempt to connect to its recent initiatives, such as Duke Engage, the Global Health Initiative and the numerous avenues for civic engagement. Hiring professors to add to these programs will solidify the status of such initiatives and increase their appeal to the general student body. terest in

Lastly, Duke should aim to attract true academic

all-stars. The substantial size of the gift, coupled with Duke’s inherent bigname allure, should allow for the University to draw distinguished faculty not only from other universities, but from all of academia and the private sector.

The newly created, positions might even provide an opportunity to re-establish a Nobel Prize winner amongst the faculty.

We need to pursue faculty members that draw attention to the University, as well as those that enhance the quality of our undergraduate education.

It is to be expected that every department will want a piece of the proverbial pie. The process for hiring, however, should focus on significantly bolstering specific departments to gain national recognition, as opposed to spreading thin the benefits of the Endowment’s gift to all the departments.

It’s

been more than a month since Karl Rove descended upon our happy campus, leaving in his wake a tearful trail of angry editorials and exhausted rhetoric. I’d hate for my first column to be another retrospective on respect and free speech, culminating with a grand platitude about whether or not it is ever okay to shout “Liar!” in a crowded the- andrew kindman ater.

get up, stand up

However, given that it is now a new year, I feel as though there are a couple of important issues to raise.

It is now 2008, and as such it is time to reflect on the past year and dismiss that which is no longer relevant, like Lindsay Lohan. However, we also have to learn what lessons we can from last year and frame them in the context of the new one.

For example, it is abundantly clear that nobody was really pleased with the havoc of Rove’s visit and the constant heckling that interrupted his discussion. Unfortunately, if controversial politics got so out of hand in 2007, 2008 is going to be extremely uncomfortable. So in the spirit of the new year, an election year, let’s reflect on how we can do better.

Most urgently, I think we just need to lay down a few ground rules for heckling. I really do appreciate heckling for its display of grassroots fury, and even more so when it can incorporate irreverent humor. But when we take it too far, heckling ceases to become valuable. So for the sake of preserving this most populist of traditions while simultaneously encouraging an academic environment, let’s learn what we can from our recent experience with Rove.

First of all, when heckling, the most important thing is timing. It is my general belief that it is fair to heckle a speaker on the way in and heckle a speaker on the way out, but to heckle in the midst of a presentation is completely unhelpful. The man came with something to say, and though antagonizing people who are trying to communicate may be a staple among Rove’s policy recommendations, that doesn’t make it appropriate behavior, and it certainly is not conducive to learning.

We are also left to wonder whether this tactic even has any effect. I can’t imagine that it really hurts Rove’s feelings all that much. The man is

nearly 60 years old—if being called a liar really bothered him I assume he would have found a different line of work by now. Accusing Rove of being a liar seems tantamount to calling Courtney Love a drug addict—you aren’t the first to say it and you won’t be the last.

What’s more, it’s not as if Rove came to Duke with the secret hope that he could plant the seed of the neo-con agenda, only to be met with hostility and sent away with his pointy little tail between his legs. Duke shelled out major cash to get him on stage.

He was there because we paid him to be, and when he got back to his all-expenses paid suite in the WaDuke that night, I doubt he' lost any sleep over our antagonism. The point of all this is that attacks on Rove just bounce right off (read; rubber, glue, etc.), but though it may not bother him, interrupting the program to heckle is detrimental to the learning environment.

Nevertheless the question remains, short of pelting Rove with our Birkenstocks (thank you, American University), how can we get through to him? We can start by using the question and answer period to its fullest advantage. This does not mean spewing polemics all over the microphone and storming off. If we attack him, we have to expect him to attack us back, and though petty banter is fine for Bill O’Reilly, if we are really set on exposing

When heckling, the most important thing is timing.

his malice we should ask him a question that he has to answer. Then, he’ll expose himself for us With all this in mind, 2008 is going to be a fun year, no doubt about it. Politics are heating up and I, for one, am incredibly pumped. However, if our experience with Rove has taught us anything, it is that we need to make sure our heckling, empowering as it is, doesn’t become counterproductive. When controversy strikes in the future, we need to remember to be respectful and intelligent if we want progress.

Duke is for lovers

Tuesday late last semester, I headed to Perkins for some hardcore Econ 51 studying (a.k.a. responding ,to several urgent Facebook wallposts, updating my profile, then staring at my notes for 20 minutes).

I walked past the librarian’s desk and sank into a plush-looking blue velvet oversized chair. I promptly took m out my laptop and sur-

claiming “Duke isfor Lovers,” complete with pictures of smiling Duke couples, past and present I’ll admit I was impressed at the clever way the “u” in “Duke” had been replaced with a heart, but please excuse my cynicism ifI was not immediately convinced that our school is a setting conducive to love.

If Duke were truly for lovers, why would we have speakers like Laura Sessions Stepp talking about books with ominous titles like “Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both”? Why would we have a house course, conceptualized and taught by students, called “Dating and Mating: Hook-Up Culture at Duke”?

At some point during orientation, every freshman hears: “No one dates at Duke.” I even heard it as a prefrosh, but I didn’t believe it. Still, it’s equally hard to believe that Duke is suddenly for lovers. I see plenty of couples to disprove the claim that no one dates. Most are prime examples of what my friends and I affectionately term “nerd love”—the girl with slightly frizzing hair, the guy often with glasses, either willow thin or barely chubby. There are even a few—very few —quintessential Dukies who have paired off, the sleeves of their respective North Face fleeces gently rubbing together as they walk down the Plaza holding hands. I’m also sure I wouldn’t be getting incessant e-mails urging me to participate in a Duke dating study if there were no such phenomenon to be studied.

But for every one couple I see sharing an intimate dinner at The Loop, I see 10 couples at Shooters on Saturday pressed up against the mirrored wall (you know the one), taking things just a little further than dancing.

We’re all sick of criticizing and complaining about the so-called “hook-up culture” (sorry to drop thatdreaded phrase, but you knew it was coming), while simultaneously participating in it.

I’m not saying that one form of relationship, either the committed one or the casual one, is morally superior to the other. We each can decide what is right for us.

Certainly, though, the less common and more serious relationship is more likely to bond two people as lovers in more than just the physical sense.

As a community, we have been bombarded with criticisms of hooking up and complaints about the lackluster dating scene. Yet, we have not chosen away to solve the problem supposedly plaguing college campuses across the nation, or even unanimously decided that it is a problem at all. At the same time, almost every song we hear, every movie we see and every story we read relentlessly markets love. We may have moral qualms about casual relationships, but it feels foolhardy to let idealized portrayals of love create the expectation of finding it in every encounter with the opposite sex.

If Duke really is for lovers, some of us should pack up, go home and enroll in community college. For some, Duke actually is for love. For others, it’s strictly for hooking up. Everyone else is here looking for whatever they might find to make them happy, if only in the

short term.

Like most freshmen, I haven’t quite decided what to expect from Duke. I’m left to look at the banner in

Perkins with a wry smile at the ripped-off slogan and saccharine naivete, and a small hope that the notion might not be as laughable as it seems.

Now, back to cross-price elasticities...
