THE CHRONICLE

High school senior Kyrie Irving, Scout, corn’s No. 6 player in the country, committed to Duke yesterday, locking up one of the Blue Devils’ most prominent targets.

Irving is a 6-foot-l, 165-lb. guard from Elisabeth, N.J. who plays mosdy at the point.

“When I went on my official visit, it felt like home and the place for me,” Irving said on ESPNU’s Recruiting Insider. He also cited close relations with head coach Mike Krzyezewski and the coaching staff as contributing factors to his decision.

Irving had been rumored to be leaning toward joining Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils, and SportsNet New York’s Adam Zagoria even reported as much Tuesday night. Irving, however, refuted that claim via Twitter the same night.

Despite rejecting Zagoria’s initial report —which cited three anonymous sources with knowledge of the recruiting process—lrving did indeed chose Duke over Kentucky and Texas A&M, the other two schools to make his final list.

Irving and his father, Drederick, were unavailable for comment Thursday.

Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis and the Blue Devils look for theirsecond straight ACC win against conference bottom-feeder Maryland. The contest kicks off Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Wallace Wade Stadium.

A bus that caught fire last week and three others in Duke’s fleet should have been recalled, Vice President for Campus Services Kernel Dawkins confirmed.

Based on the results of a preliminary investigation, administrators have concluded that the Oct. 14 C-l bus fire resulted from a problem with the electrical wiring near the vehicle’s wheelchair lift, Dawkins said.

A batch of Bluebird school buses manufactured in the late 1990 s were found to have electrical wiring problems in the same location and recalled by the manufacturer, he said. Administrators did not learn of the recall until Wednesday afternoon.

“We did not know anything about that recall, and we were not notified,” Dawkins said, adding that he did not know when the recall was announced.

The charred bus—which caught fire shortly after pulling away from the East Campus bus stop—is no longer in service.

Top inti officials study at Duke Early retirement Sanford’s custom program seen as ’win-win’for both sides by

BETSY BOXBERGER/THE CHRONICLE

Many foreign senior government officials have studied at Sanford since 2001 .Sanford's customizedprograms bring in faculty from a variety of departments to teach participants about different aspects of public policy.

On Tuesday afternoon, in a comer room of the Terry Sanford School of Public Policy that is regularly filled with students, a group of Chinese government officials were participating in a mock debate.

These officials, including members of different Chinese ministries and a memberof the Chinese Supreme Court, were deliberating the merits oflast year’s American auto bailout.

As a part of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs program, this group has attended programs at Sanford for the Fall, and will continue to do so until mid-December. This is the sixth year that Chinese officials have studied at Duke. SAFEA is part of the Duke Center for International Development’s Executive Education programs.

Joe Tham, Executive Education co-director, said Duke works with countries to design programs that suit the officials’ needs.

He said the initiatives bring in faculty from departments such as political science and economics to educate the officials.

“This is a chance for us to teach senior government officials about public policy issues,” Tham said. “I think it’s

Susan Ashley Wilson, program coordinator for the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, has worked at Duke for 32 years. When an early retirement incentive package arrived in her mailbox Tuesday evening, Wilson said she saw a once-ih-a-lifetime opportunity to leave her career and try new things.

Wilson said she will consider accepting the incentive although she may have to find another position because she is too young to draw Social Security benefits.

“One can never be certain what the future is going to bring,” Wilson said. “In this economic climate, one takes what is there, and with the incentive at least there is something interesting that provides you with some

Feds crack down on cartels and bonuses of executives WASHINGTON, D.C. In a series of recent raids throughout the United States, federal authorities have arrested nearly 1,200 people who they say are connected to one of Mexico's most aggressively expanding and deadly drug trafficking cartels, known as La Familia Michoacana, law enforcement officials told the Los Angeles Times'Washington bureau.

At least 300 of the arrests occurred Wednesday and Thursday in California,Texas, Georgia and numerous other U.S. locations where the crime syndicate has set up bases to engage in drug trafficking, extortion and other crimes, authorities said.

The crackdown, dubbed "Project Coronado," was described by one knowledgeable source as the largest single strike in the United States against the Mexican cartels, based on a multi-agency investigation that lasted nearly 3 1/2 years.

The Obama adWASHINGTON, D.C. ministration's pay czar saidThursday that he hoped his move to slash the salaries of the highest paid employees at the seven largest recipients of federal bailout money would not lead to an exodus of talent that would prevent the taxpayers from being repaid.

"The taxpayers are in deep with these seven companies, and one of my primary obligations is to see to it that the taxpayers' dollars are returned to the U.S. Treasury," said Kenneth Feinberg, the special master for executive compensation under the $7OO billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. He said he does "not accept as a priority" that the government should be vindictive or punitive about executive compensation, but he acknowledged that Americans are upset about huge bonuses and salaries at companies that received bailouts.

Focus stays well-funded despite deficit

Council OKs new Ph.D. pro by

Lindsey Rupp and Zachary Tracer THE CHRONICLE

The Academic Council approved the

creation of a Ph.D. program in Environmental Policy Thursday.

The council also reviewed a proposal an Institutional Conflict of Interest in Research policy and discussed moving the president’s annual address to the faculty from the Council’s meeting.

Chair Craig Henriquez, professor of biomedical engineering and computer science, said he thinks students in the new Ph.D. program would be strong candidates for future environmental policyjobs. The program will be sent to the Board of Trustees for approval at its Dec. 4-5 meeting.

Dr. Ross McKinney, director of the Trent Center for bioethics, humanities and history of medicine, presented a draft of the proposal to create an Institutional Conflict of Interest in Research policy, which he said would cover situations in which the financial interests of the institution or top officials who represent Duke may affect the research, education, clinical care, business or other activities of the University.

McKinney said similar policies are beginning to appear at other universities and Duke is relatively ahead on this issue.

He said the policy, which will be also be presented to the Trustees in December, would not gready affect faculty members who are not senior officials.

“The other area [the policy would take effect] will be in the gifts, because we have the concern that there are gifts being given to the institution that may to create

Brodhead said he thinks it is important for the president to interactregularly with faculty members and asked the Council to consider ways to optimize attendance in the new format.

“I think it’s a great idea for the president to speak to the faculty—l have no desire not to speak to the faculty,” he said. “Last year, there were topics that it was very important for the president to speak about that it was not right for the president to speak about at the Academic Council meeting.”

Students in the “Muslim Cultures; The Middle East and Beyond” focus cluster will take a trip to Turkey this coining March.

For the second year in a row, the University will subsidize approximately two-thirds of the 10-day trip. Although Duke is currently facing a $125 million budget deficit, Richard Palmer, faculty director of the program, said Focus was well funded this year thanks to endowments that are specifically allotted to funding it.

“We got everything we asked for,” he said.

The Focus program, which is open to freshmen and sophomores, is a unique program that offers interdisciplinary seminar-type clusters on topics that range from global health to digital media, said Pam Riley, the senior program coordinator. This year, applications for spots in the Focus clusters were up 30 percent from the previous year, and the number of students increased from 250 to 350, Palmer said.

One of the highlights of the Focus program, which aims to link the social and academic spheres, has always been trips and other group experiences outside of the classroom.

“Focus is, from my point of view, the

The Council also discussed when President Richard Brodhead should address the faculty in his annual President’s Meeting, which has previously occurred at October Academic Council meetings. Members proposed experimenting with a new format that would be separate from Academic Council.

Members said that if the proposed annual faculty meeting were poorly attended, the president’s address could return to its Academic Council setting.

CAMPUS COUNCIL

Group broadens Central Campus living options by

Carmen Augustine THE CHRONICLE

Gender designation of rooms on Central Campus is now a practice of the past, Campus Council decided at its meeting Thursday night.

Campus Council members approved a resolution that will remove gender designation of rooms on Central Campus during the Room Fix process in the Spring. “[We’re] making co-ed blocking on Central a little bit simpler,” said Vice President Alex Reese, a junior who proposed the resolution.

Currently, students opting to live on Central can get up to six apartments per block. The fact that each room is designated by gender, however, has hindered students’ ability to live in the blocks they planned for because males and females go through the Room Fix process separately. The outcome depends entirely on the availability of male and female rooms that are in close proximity of each other.

“Our [Residence Life and Housing Services] staff advisers will tell you that those designations are arbitrary,” Reese said. “By removing them, we’re adding a degree of flexibility for students.”

The situation has caused frustrations for students going through the process in the past, RLHS Assistant Director of Communications Jen Frank said. Campus Council leaders said they hoped the resolution, though not perfect, will allow more students to obtain the housing they prefer.

Reese also proposed an alternate resolution that would put a cap on the number of each type of room —two-bedroom suite, two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments available to each gender based on the proportion of the total population they represent.

But Frank said gender equality amongst dorm types is “a very delicate balance.”

“People [are] always wondering if this is fair,” she said.

After a lengthy debate, however, Campus Council members decided to pass the first resolution as one that would be easier to implement.

Campus Council President Stephen Temple discusses a resolution to remove gender designations from Central Campus rooms during its meeting Thursday night. The group,which approved the resolution, hope to give students more flexibility during Spring's Room Fix process.

In other business: Voting took place for two new positions on Campus Council. Junior Tommy O’Malley will be the new liaison to Duke Student Government and junior Drew Everson will be the new liaison to the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee.

Facilities and Services Chair John Pryor, a junior, asked Campus Council to brainstorm new ways to use the com-

mittee’s $75,000 budget to improve campus. Members considered improving the conditions of bathrooms on West Campus and making better use ofunused rooms, but no decisions were made.

In addition, Southgate House Council was granted a $1,200 finance request to help fund the rave they have planned for November. The event, though targeted toward freshmen, will be open to all students!

U.S. assistance is deeply controversial in Pakistan, which wants to avoid the appear- * ance that it is dependent on the American government or military.

The two governments have had difficulty in sharing some information in the past.

American officers have accused Pakistan officials of tipping off targets about upcoming strikes. But a senior defense official said that in the Waziristan offensive, U.S. and Pakistani interests are closely intertwined.

“The Pakistanis are getting more and more serious about the militant threat,” said the senior official. ‘You are going to

senior officer and his driver.

The current offensive, marked by heavy fighting, is seen as critical for the U.S. and Pakistan. South Wazidstan is the base for Pakistani militants who have mounted a string ofattacks across the country and it is an important refuge for al-Qaeda.

“We are coordinating with the Pakistanis,” said a senior military official, one of several who confirmed the operations on condition of anonymity. “And we do provide Predator support when requested.”

For months the U.S. and Pakistan have been sharing information from Predator flights in the volatile border regions, but until now the Pakistanis had not accepted help for their major military operations.

Pakistan turned down American surveillance and targeting aid during the offensive in Swat that began in May. The use of military drones in Pakistan is separate from the ongoing Predator campaign being carried out in that country by

BUSES from page 1 tation will examine all buses in the coming weeks, but the other three Bluebird vehicles manufactured in the late 1990 s have been taken off the road for further investigation, Dawkins said.

“We have scheduled the three remaining [Bluebird] buses that we have for a complete investigation that we are going to do with a fine-toothed comb over the next couple of days,” he said.

“We don’t know if there are defects with those buses, but we want to be absolutely sure.”

Duke has rented vehiclesfrom Carolina Livery to sustain its regular routes without the four buses.

Sophomore Lauren Pfeiffer traveled across campus in one of Carolina Livery’s 10-person vans rather than her usual C-l Wednesday. She said last week’s fire has made her think twice about her safety on Duke’s buses.

“The driver [of the Carolina Livery van] talked to us the entire way, and he described all the other buses as ticking time bombs,” Pfeiffer said. “It makes me a little scared to get on a C-l. People ride them every day, so they should make sure they are safe.”

Duke buses have caught fire three times since the Departmeiit of Parking and Transportation began its records 27 years ago, Dawkins said. In Spring 2006, the engine compartment of a C-l parked at Main West Campus bus stop caught fire.

Dawkins did not know when the

third fire took place C-l Driver Mike Eubanks, who has worked at Duke since2008, said buses go up in flames periodically, but last week’s fire was the worst he has seen in his 20-year career. “[Bus fires] happen but I would say that they are uncommon,” Dawkins said. “Any motor vehicle is susceptible.... You’ve got lots of different systems operating on a bus. It’s one of the problems that comes with running a transportation fleet.”

Duke buses are inspected daily before they ever pick up students, in addition to “preventative maintenance inspections” every 90 days, Dawkins said.

Once a year, Duke’s fleet is also examined by an outside agency.

The C-l that caught fire last Wednesday underwent its 90-day inspection Sept. 22 and Sept. 23.

After that time, four minor repairs were performed on the bus, but there were no signs that the vehicle had a wiring problem, Dawkins said. The bus’s daily inspection did not reveal anything unusual the day of the incident, and Dawkins said he does not think the fire could have been prevented.

“I feel very confident about the safety of the fleet as a whole, and I feel confident in our processes of inspecting and maintaining the buses,” he said.

C-l Driver Nancy Colon, who has worked at Duke since 2008, said she and other drivers have had more problems than usual with the buses since the school year began in August. She said she has noticed a shortage of

both drivers and vehicles, estimating that at least three new buses are needed. But she doubts the department will'be able to find funding for these ventures in this economy.

“There’s no hiding the fact that we all know that we need new buses —the buses are just run down,” she said. “We have been complaining, but the change has to come from students. You are the ones who pay to make this place run.”

Dawkins said plans to buy new buses have been in the works for some time, and administrators hope to add new vehicles to the fleet within the next year. He added that the economy has not affected the timetablefor acquiring the buses.

Shuttling from East to West Campus on a late-night C-l, sophomore Kevin Lieberman said he doesn’t question his safety on Duke’s buses.

“Every so often there’s going to be an incident, but I feel the buses are safe,” he said. “My first reaction to the news of the fire, because no one was hurt, I didn’tfind it shocking. These buses are old.”

Eubanks said he has complete confidence in Duke’s fleet, noting that he would trust any of his family members on his bus.

But he added thatlast week’s fire has given him and other drivers pause as they go about their routes each day.

“I’ve heard a couple of drivers comment that it makes them think,” he said. “These buses can be replaced—human safety cannot.”

PAKISTAN from pages and Pakistan. Key civilian and military leaders, led by Vice have argued that Pakistan receives inPresident Joe Biden, sufficient U.S. attention and resources.

The Pakistani offensive is principally aimed at a militant group that has carried out the recent series of deadlv attacks inside the country and was formerly led

by Taliban chief BaiUillah Mghsud, killed by a CIA air strike in April., U.S.' officials have pressed Pakistan to expand its military campaign to other Taliban groups and hope the Pakistanis will next turn their offensive to North Waziristan, used as a haven by Afghanistan’s Taliban factions.

The Pakistani military official said there is “no discrimination” in the Taliban groups that the Pakistani military will pursue. Still, U.S. officials said they have seen no indication that the latest campaign has or will target militants linked to Afghan Taliban leaders such as Mullah Mohammed Omar and Jalaluddin Haqqani.

Some defense analysts said it was critical for the Pakistanis to consolidate their gains in South Waziristan before moving on to other territory.

“We would like them to extend the offensive,” said Stephen Biddle, a military historian and defense analyst.

“But we would also like them to hold what they clear. It might or might not be a good call for them to add territorial goals, when it is most importantfor them to hold what they take Frederick W. Kagan, a defense analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, argued that helping the Pakistanis retake South Waziristan is critical to the stability of Pakistan and to the U.S. campaign against al-Qaeda.

“It is conceivable that we could look back at this South Waziristan operation as a turning point in the war against al-Qaeda,” Kagan said. “This has been the safe haven for these guys.”

American officials said the new cooperation is due, in part, because the U.S. has effectively broadened its outreach to Pakistani officials beyond Ashfaq Kayani, the Pakistani army chief of staff.

The U.S. believes if it can get Pakistan to accept more help, the Pakistani offensive will be more effective. ”

a win-win for both sides because the Duke

faculty have a chance to interact with the foreign government officials, and they in

learn from us.”

Since 2001, the DCID has offered advice to countries through its Executive Education programs. In 2004, Duke first provided customized programs to foreign officials from countries like China, India, Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia.

Duke professors educate the officials on issues such as public policy and conflict resolution.

DCID Director Francis Lethem said the officials should leave Duke with a multidisciplinary idea of how to solve problems in their countries.

“This is the government’s strategy of broadening the horizons of their senior leaders,” Lethem said. “The government is... creating a club of people who can rely on each other in the future.”

Lin Jing, a Chinese counselor enrolled in SAFEA, said the officials have learned a lot about communication skills and policy. He said one of the major things he has learned came from a recent program trip to Washington, D.C. where the foreign officials met with U.S. representatives in the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Trade Commission.

“We have learned a lot about how the U.S. is dealing with problems of providing low-cost housing to urban groups,” Jing said of the trip. “Of course, China’s economy is growing a lot, but there is a gap between turn

rich people and poorer people and we have learned a lot about how to deal with that group as far as housing is concerned.”

Funds for these programs come from the officials and their governments, as DCID is financially independent of Sanford, Lethem said. Although the costs of customized programs like SAFEA vary, the summer openenrollment Executive Education programs cost up to $ll,OOO per pardcipant.

But others also benefit from the program.

Michael Munger, chair of the polidcal science department and the 2008 Libertarian candidate for North Carolina governor, is one ofdie professors involved in the Executive Education program. He said he has taught courses on the U.S. Constitution and on American policy processes. Munger said he enjoys answering questions from foreign officials.

“It isn’t just Duke that benefits in a way it’s the entire American system,” Munger said. “I am glad to have that sort of interaction with people from other cultures to think and to learn about the things that they think are important. It makes me a better teacher. When I go back into the classroom to teach Duke students, I can say, ‘Here are things that people from other countries find surprising about our system.’”

Munger said language and cultural differences make working with the officials sometimes challenging—a group of 18 officials from Kazakhstan who speak limited English just arrived Monday. Despite language barriers, Munger said the officials are knowledgeable and experienced. He specifically noted the experience of the —

“His knowledge ofconstitutionalism and law is incredible, so you have to go slowly and yet not bore them because they know so much more than most students would know,” Munger said. “It’s really very tiring, from my perspective and theirs. You really have to be prepared.”

tion, they can sort of relate to it—they have seen it first-hand and they can bring it i 0 the classroom,” Taneja said.

Taneja’s professor, Fernando Fernholz, said many of the international officials in the class are receiving graduate degrees, including master of international development policy or MPP degrees.'

Student interaction Dan Kobayashi, a second-year master of public policy student, is a teaching fellow for the Chinese officials. He said he has benefited from speaking with a Chinese foreign minister who has worked in regions ofAfrica, noting that it is a rare opportunity for graduate students to advise officials of this caliber.

“Folks with this pedigree are generally not calling for the advice of [Master ofPublic Policy] students in the U.5.,” Kobayashi said. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for me and for the rest of my colleagues to really see from a pretty high vantage point some perspective of what is happening in this emerging economic and political giant and to frame it in terms of real human beings who are making decisions.”

But exposure to the officials is not limited to graduate students.

Junior Nikhil Taneja is enrolled in Economic Growth and Development Policy, a graduate-level course that many foreign officials are taking. He said it is interesting to complete group assignments with an official who applies personal experiences to issues.

Then-Duke President Nan Keohane, Provost Peter Lange and current Sanford Dean Bruce Kuniholm, among others, supported the move, Lethem said.

Taneja said Duke’s hosting of foreign officials is emblematic of its global focus.

“It’s definitely really exciting going in on the first day of class and going around the table to see where everybody was from,” he said. “And the exposure that creates for Duke is also good—we’re going to have more publicity across the globe,’so there’s .nothing but upside;” Jing said the interaction between Duke and China represents his country’s improving relations with the U.S. “I think that the exchange between China and Duke is only a small part ofChina’s U.S. relations,” he said. “Everybody has been aware that over the past two to three decades relations have been developing fast.... I believe everybody agrees that it’s important to have closer relations between these two countries.”

retirement from page 1 last Friday to employees receiving monthly salaries as part of its latest incentive aimed at cost-cutting, said Kyle Cavanaugh, vice president for human resources.

This latest early retirement package represents a small part of Duke’s effort to cut about $125 million from its budget over the next three years. An early retirement incentive offered to biweekly employees over the summer has already saved the University about $2O million.

Administrators announced «at an employee forum last month that they would offer early retirement incentives to monthly salaried employees. Each department received a list of its qualified employees from the central administration, and department leaders chose the employees who would be offered the incentives, said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask.

For the retirement incentive to become available, an employee must meet the Rule of 75-their years of service added to their age must add to 75 or higher. Reaching the Rule of 75 would qualify employees for retiree health benefits, accrued vacation time up to 40 days and two weeks of pay for every year at the University up to 26 years. The position must not be funded more than 50 percent by grants, and ideally it could be restructured or eliminated.

Trask said administrators approved departments’ final lists of employees.

Wilson said the most'difficult factor in accepting the package is the short notice employees were given to leave their positions. Employees have until 5 p.m. Dec. 8 to accept or decline the package and then an additional week to finalize their decisions, leaving little time to prepare their finances for retirement.

Those who choose to retire can select Dec. 31 or Jan 29, 2010 as their official retirement date.

Trask said officials do not expect the same success they had with the biweekly-paid staff early retirement incentive that was offered over the summer. That package had an acceptance rate ofabout 35 percent.

Trask said he “would be surprised” if 50 employees accept this latest incentive.

“It depends a whole lot more on personal circumstances as to whether it’s attractive at this point, and we have no idea who it’s going to be attractive to,” he said.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23,2009 I 9

This round ofincentives targets employees who might be thinking about retirement in the next few years, Cavanaugh said. To help employees make their decisions, he said the University has focused on providing employees with as much information as possible. The packages include lists of frequently asked questions and a data sheet breaking down the values of the package and what benefits follow the employee into retirement, he said.

Cavanaugh added that HR is also running group sessions for general questions and encouraging eligible employees make individual appointments to discuss their benefits.

Those conversations could be helpful for younger employees like Betty Henderson, a departmental business manager at the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies, who has worked at Duke for 29 years. Although Henderson is also not eligible to receive Social Security benefits yet, she is seriously considering her retirement offer. Henderson said her savings suffered during the recession and that she would probably have to take another job, like Wilson.

“I think it’s a huge decision for someone, particularly in my situation not being old enough to get the additional to

Social Security benefits. However, this is a lifetime of work almost, and you know that this opportunity may not come around for another lifetime,” she said. “So there’s some pretty significant choices to be made, and it’s a very exciting position to be in, actually.”

Although the retirement incentive is a voluntary package, Trask said layoffs are still not out of the question.

Officials will know by next summer whether they will be necessary.

Still, he added that employees offered the incentive will not automatically lose their jobs ifthey choose not to retire.

“If you got a letter, it’s not a certainty you’ll be laid off,” he said. “If you got the letter and we do have to do layoffs, it’s more likely you’ll end up on that list than not.”

Future personnel decisions depend on market performance and how well current workforce reduction measures work, Trask said. Officials estimate that various reduction measures have eliminated the equivalent of about 372 positions as of Sept. 17.

Trask said he does not expect to see new centralized cuts before next summer. Next, Trask plans to examine non-personnel areas like Information Technology and facilities.

FOCUS from page 3 best thing at Duke,” said Michael Gillespie, Jerry G. and Patricia Crawford Hubbard professor of political science.

Gillespie teaches a course in the “Visions of Freedom” Focus cluster, which took a trip to Charlottesville, Va. over Fall Break.

Although some programs are choosing to stay closer to home this year, their directors maintain that lack of funding is not the cause.

“Between Europe & Asia,” a Focus cluster that centers around Eurasia, used to travel to Russia over Fall Break.

Riley said it is harder to obtain visas to visit Russia, citing 9/11 as one of the reasons why it has now become too difficult to secure visas to go to the country over break “A lot of those students still go to Russia,” Riley added, “The same person who directs the program also does Duke Engage, and some students choose to study abroad.”

The “Global Health: Local & International Disparities”

cluster chose to place a greater emphasis on domestic health issues this year.

Riley said the cluster will attend the State Fair to examine its food offerings, such as chocolate-covered bacon.

She added that Gary Bennett, professor of psychology and neuroscience, taught a class called “The Social Epidemiology of Obesity” and found that the tasty treat was about 900 calories.

Riley said one cluster that traveled to the Duke Marine Lab over Fall Break and collected specimens with scientists on the barrier islands did not pay anything.

Programs that travel abroad are also still available.

Sophomore Ibrahim Maali participated in two Focus clusters his freshman year, one in the Fall that traveled to Rome, and “Muslim Cultures” in the Spring, which

Other students are more than happy to participate in Focus clusters that travel only a shorLdistancefrom Duke.

“It was the most interesting thing that I’ve done since I’ve come to America,” said freshman Joshua Foromera, who is from Zimbabwe.

His Focus cluster, “Faces of Science,” took a trip to Washington, D.C. over Fall Break.

“I would encourage anyone who wants to do the Focus program to do it,” Foromera added.

“It really depends on what’s educationally best for the cluster,” Riley said. “We’re still traveling, but we have to be careful, because a lot of the time this requires money from students to help pay for the trip.”

COUNCIL from page 3 In other busipess The Executive Council will review Executive Vice President Tallman Trask and Dean of the Graduate School Jo Rae Wright for their five-year evaluations.

Council members approved three finalists as Faculty Scholars for 2009-2010. The awards are based on departmental nominations of students with high grade point averages, who have performed independent and innovative work and who have expressed interest in pursuing a scholarly career.

Members unanimously approved conferring awards on senior Rose Li in chemistry, senior Kathryn Maxson in biology and senior Matthew Rognlie in math and economics.

Members also approved designation with honorable mention for senior John Harpham, a member ofThe Chronicle’s editorial board, in political science and senior Jordan Rice, a columnist for The Chronicle, in Spanish and Latin American studies.

Associate Dean ofStudent Development Benjamin Ward, chair of the Faculty Scholar Award Committee, said that although the deadlinefor submitting nominations was pushed back a month from previous years, the committee received only 22 nominations from just 16 of the 34 undergraduate departments in Trinity College ofArts and Sciences.

“We thought, perhaps naively, that [the date] change might generate more nominations—in fact, it did not,” Ward said, adding that last year only 16 departments submitted nominations as well. “One lamentable note this year, this is the first year in myrecollection thatwe’ve not received any nominations from the Pratt School of Engineering.”

Last time Duke took the field, senior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis led the Blue Devils to a 21-point road victory over ACC opponent N.C. State. Lewis earned ACC Offensive Player of the Week honors thanks to his 450-plus passing yards and six total touchdowns.

Duke (3-3, 1-1 in the ACC) looks to carry that momentum through its bye week when it faces a struggling Maryland team (2-5, 1-2).

The Terrapins are coming off backto-back conference losses against Wake Forest and Virginia. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Although Maryland is off to a slow start this season, the Blue Devils know that this will be a hard-fought game.

“Maryland is a great team,” senior running back Re’quan Boyette said.

“They have a lot of athletes, and a lot of talent on defense.”

The Terrapins’ best playmaker is sophomore wide receiver Torrey Smith. The 6-foot-l Smith is a dynamic receiver and kick returner who has scored five touchdowns in Maryland’s last six games. Senior cornerback Leon Wright and the rest of the secondary will look to contain Smith Saturday.

On the other side of the ball, the Terrapins pride themselves on rushing the passer. Maryland’s defense has racked up 20 sacks thus far,

which is the most in the ACC and 17th in the country.

“They lead the ACC in sacks for a reason,” Blue Devils’ head coach David Cutcliffe said. “This will be a war in pass protection.”

Lewis is coming off a career day, but if Duke’s offensive line cannot protect him, he could have a difficult game. Virginia Tech and Kansas were the only teams to sack Lewis more than twice, and the Blue Devils lost both of those games. The offensive line has shown much improvement in the last three weeks, and if it continues to do so thenLewis could have another big game.

“Offensively, we seemed to be calling plays and [executing] plays that our team is good at,” tight end Brett Huffman said. “We weren’t forcing things. Hopefully we will continue that Saturday.”

Lewis has three consecutive games with multiple touchdowns and no interceptions, and if he can extend that streak, the Blue Devils have a good chance of improving to 2-1 in ACC play. Maryland is the only ACC team that Lewis has not faced in his time as the Duke quarterback.

The last time these two teams met was September 25th, 2004.

Maryland beat Duke 55-21 that day thanks to a three-touchdown performance from tight end Vernon Davis, who ended up being selected sixth overall in the NFL Draft.

The Terrapins have fallen on hard times, though, beating Clemson but

losing to all other FBS competition.

They even lost to Middle Tennessee State in their third game.

“All [our players] know is that Maryland has had a difficult start.”

Cutcliffe said.

CutclifFe also said during his Tuesday press conference that he thinks it benefits Duke that it had a bye week before this contest. He believes that the extra week spent watching tape and scouting Maryland could prove helpful in exploiting matchups in Duke’s favor.

The Blue Devils’ rotation at running back is still not at full strength.

Sophomore Jay Hollingsworth is recovered from an knee injury, which has sidelined him since the Kansas game, but Boyette is hurt and will not play this week. Hollingsworth, who ran well against the Jayhawks, averaging four yards a carry, will be accompanied in the running back committee by freshman Desmond Scott, who figures to see plenty of action Saturday.

If Duke can win Saturday, it will mark the first season since 2003 that it has won multiple conference games, but the team has higher hopes than that. CutclifFe has spoken since the preseason of reaching a bowl game for the first time since 1994, and a win Saturday would go a long way toward that goal.

“Both teams should be pretty hungry for a win,” Cutcliffe said.

“It should make for a good football game.”

After getting back on track in the ACC with two consecutive shutout wins, the Blue Devils ran into a pothole when they faced conference bottom-dweller Virginia Thursday night.

The Cavaliers (7-5-3, 2-4-1 in the ACC) defeated Duke 1-0 at Koskinen Stadium, potentially derailing the Blue Devils’ late-season push for an NCAA tournament berth.

But it was what Duke failed to do on the offensive side of the ball that ultimately cost the Blue Devils the game.

“I don’t think we ever found our rhythm,” midfielder Jane Alukonis said. “I think the whole game we kind of just saw the ball going up and down the field, but we never really broke into our style of play.”

IRVING from page 1

Duke hopes for ACC boost Friday

Blue Devils now have three verbal commitments from the Class of 2010. Guard Tyler Thornton and forward Joshua Hairston verbally committed to Duke months ago.

Duke Basketball officials hope that Irving’s decision, and the publicity that surrounded it, can help attract another top recruit, Harrispn Barnes. Barnes is the No. 3 player in the country ac-

Asked about what he wanted to tell Barnes on ESPNU, Irving said, “I’ll let the Duke coaching staff handle that.” Irving also called Barnes “like my big brother”.

During Irving’s official visit to Duke Sept. 23, students hung banners outside their dormitories urging him to become a Blue Devil. One of the signs included a reference to other Duke point guards from New Jersey—namely Bobby Hurley and Jason Williams, who led Duke to its three national championships in 1991, 1992 and 2001.

As the season winds down, the Blue Devils find themselves in a great position—No. 19 in the country, No. 8 in the RPI and n the conversation as a possible host for the opening round of the NCAA

Clemson

tournament.

Only tour games remain on the No. 19 schedule, however, anc{ Duke sits in ( Dllke sixth P IaCC ir? the FRIDAY, 7 p.m.

ACC. Friday’s match Koskinen Stadium Clemson against provides a golden opportunity for the Blue Devils to boost their conference standing and increase their chances of playing their postseason opener in Koskinen Stadium. • “We’re in a good spot right now,” head coach John Kerr said. “We’re eighth in the RPI, .which is a good place to be going into the final phase of the season. We know we have to keep winvs

ning to maintain that level and aim for a postseason home game.”

The top 16 seeds in the NCAA tournament host the opening rounds, with the higher seed playing host every round after that until the final four.

How long Duke (9-4-0, 2-3-0 in the ACC) manages to stay around in the competition this year could very well be a function of how many matches it plays at home. The Blue Devils boast an impressive 8-1 mark at Koskinen but are only 1-3 on the road.

“Every game we play, especially from now on, taking one game at a time, we need to win,” senior Josh Bienenfeld said. “We need to increase our chances of getting in and hosting a home game in the tournament.”

Clemson (2-9-1, 1-4-0) comes limping into Friday’s match on the heels of a disappointing loss to Furman, and with only one win in conference play.

“They’ve had a tough season so far, and their record is not as good as how they’ve played,” Kerr said. “In some games they’ve

played quite well.”

In Duke’s last effort, a 3-0 win Tuesday over Navy, the Blue Devils struggled at the beginning and failed to match the Midshipmen’s effort for some of the first half.

With so much riding on Friday’s tilt against the Tigers, another lackluster start could prove disastrous.

“That game against Navy wasn’t easy,” Kerr said. “They’re a really good team, we needed to step up and we did. We know that we have to be ready from the whistle, and I think that will be a good reminder.

Our slow start against Navy will keep us ready for Friday.”

Rising to the occasion down the stretch in any sport is crucial, even when it doesn’t seem like the biggest of games. Tuesday’s performance shows that the Blue Devils are capable of just that, and they will need to demonstrate similar resolve against Clemson if they want to have a chance at home-field advantage.

“I’m happy to how we responded to having a slow start,” Kerr said. “That gives us a lot ofconfidence going into Friday.”

Kreger then sent a low cross to Redmond in front of Virginia’s goalie. Redmond could not get control of the ball, but she tipped it behind her to a wide-open Gummersall at the back post. But Gummersall squandered what looked like a sure goal by rocketing the ball over the crossbar.

Duke’s struggles to maintain possession for more than a few minutes finally took a toll on Church’s patience with 22 minutes remaining in the game, when he threw his jacket off to the side of the team’s bench in frustration.

“We battled ourselves back the last couple of weeks, put ourselves right back in the middle of everything, and this is a really, really big blow to us,” Church said.

The Blue Devils now find themselves in seventh place in the ACC, holding the second-to-last berth to the conference tournament by a single point in the standings.

Led by freshman sensation Berta Queralt and sophomore Maria Briones, both of whom are from Spain, Ohio State averages 3.13 goals per game, which is nearly a goal more than Duke’s average 2.27 goals allowed The Blue Devils counter with their strong defensive unit led by senior AllAmerican captain Lauren Miller, the “back,

SeniorLauren Miller, whom head coach Beth Bozman called"the backboneand leaderof [the] team,"leads Duke against Ohio and Ohio State on the road this weekend. bone and leader of [the] team,” according to Bozman. With her skill and leadership, Duke hopes to minimize the offensive potential ofboth Ohio State and Ohio.

While the defense will rely on Miller, the offense depends on fellow senior Amie Survilla, whose 20 goals rank her fourth in the country.

Notably, both Miller and Survilla, the lone seniors on the team, have recently been elected to the NFHCA Division I Senior All-Star team, an honor celebrated

in an exhibition game at Wake Forest Nov. 21. The game is scheduled between the NCAA semifinal (Nov. 20) and championship game (Nov. 22).

Despite the amazing accomplishments ofits two senior leaders, the team remains focused on finishing the season strong.

Duke has the opportunity to do this despite its inconsistent early-season play, as the team now seems poised to make a legitimate run in the ACC and NCAA tournaments. Bozman and Miller said

they think the team is peaking at the right time “We are confident and pleased, but not complacent and satisfied,” Miller said.

After the games against Ohio and Ohio State, Duke has its regular season finale Oct. 31 at Virginia as its last tuneup for

postseason play.

“We are just excited to see how we measure up in the ACC tournament,” Miller said. “We just want to keep proving to ourselves how good a team we are.”

THE DIGITAL AS ANTI-ARCHIVE? The repertoire and the archive are two of several coterminous systems of creating, storing, and transmitting knowledge. Digital technologies constitute another system of transmission that is rapidly altering our frames of knowledge. Rather than assume that expansive digital capabilities usher in the "era of archive" in which everyone can be his or her own archivist, perhaps we need to consider that the shift to the digital might actually prove profoundly anti-archival. What then might be the politics of this new digital era?

Duke plays toughest fall tournament by

THE CHRONICLE

Duke concludes its fall schedule this weekend

against some of the nation’s top programs in the NCAA Fall Preview at the 6,325-yard, par-72 Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, N.C. The Blue Devils will not only face the longest course they’ve played on all fall, but the top 17 teams in the na-

tion, with the exception ofNo. 8 Florida. Duke will tee" off Friday morning with playing partners No. 9 Denver and No. 12 Wake Forest.

The Blue Devils look to bounce back from a poor showing at the Tar Heel Invitational earlier in October, where they finished in seventh place. The only bright spot was freshman Courtney Ellenbogen, , who' placed fourth overall for her best collegiate result. Ellenbogen’s IbSSwI finish was the team’s only7 top ten in.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY c dlv, ua‘ P«f°™ance this cfall. £ Country Club ofLandfall Wlth such a young team, the Wilmington, N.C. Blue Devils have had a bumpy road thus far. However, head coach Dan Brooks is pleased with his squad’s progress.

“It’s all been good as far as development goes,” Brooks said. “We have people working hard and perfecting areas that we need to zero in on.”

This weekend, Duke will roll out a young lineup anchored by senior Alison Whitaker and junior Kim Donovan. Freshmen Lindy Duncan and Stacey Kim will be competing in their fourth tournament for the Blue Devils, while it will be Ellenbogen’s third.

The Preview is especially important to the fall schedule because it will be the Blue Devils only chance to compete at this spring’s NCAA Championship course.

Duke’s first impressions were good, as it practiced Thursday morning under a perfect Wilmington sky.

“We couldn’t ask for better conditions,” Brooks said.

“The greens are justreally, really good.”

Brooks believes his group will need to concentrate most during the tournament when putting on those greens.

“If you’re on rough greens sometimes it doesn’t reward the best putters,” Brooks said. “Good putters will be rewarded in this tournament” While Brooks’s main focus during the fall is admittedly not on winning—instead, Brooks has concentrated on developing the games of his newest players—he understands the importance of gaining momentum before advancing to the spring campaign.

“Hopefully the numbers will come,” Brooks said.

“If not, we’re not going to be devastated by that, but it would be really nice to go out with a win here.”

of community.

In addition, piloting a Faculty-in-Residence, similar to the existing program on East and West Campuses, would create additional space for interaction between students and foster a more intellectual environment.

And on *a minor note, allowing students to have small personal outdoor grills could be helpful as they may be more inclined to invite friends over or make new ones over a few burgers.

From a programmatic standpoint, Campus Council could facilitate small, informal classes that teach practical life skills. All Central residents have a kitchen, so cooking or bak-

ing lessons would create another social venue.

In the end, focusing attention on the Central Campus experience is a prescient move beyond increasing its desirability as a living space. By building community and encouraging interaction, residents will get to know their neighbors. Over time, this could play a large role in dispelling the widespread perception of Central as unsafe.

Campus Council deserves credit for its efforts to improve life across all campuses, especially Central. Hopefully, innovative programs like Pets on Central will be just the beginning.

the apartments that would house animals to one specific part of campus allows students who have allergic problems to animals or dislike pets to avoid a potentially undesirable situation. And requiring those who wish to participate in the program to obtain references is a good measure to ensure that students’ four legged friends are adequately cared for.

This

past Wednesday, the Muslim Student Association and Diya held a candlelight vigil “to commemorate the victims of militants attacks that have been occurring throughout Pakistan,” as their Facebook invitation sfere read folIn January, <£:Mm Israel’s lowing brutal siege on Gaza that resulted in the deaths of almost 1,400 michael stauch Gazans, of whom spread the embers more than 400 were women and children, and almost 800 had nothing at all to do with fighting Israeli troops, MSA called for... a candlelight vigil.

Meanwhile, many students and young folks around the world, following that same siege, occupied their universities, demanding that they divest from this brutal system of not only military occupation, but of apartheid, that they boycott Israelis complicit in this system and that they sanction Israel for continuing it.

Moreover, they won some important concrete demands, including scholarships for Palestinian students studying abroad, and a promise that universities would send old computer equipment and textbooks to universities in Palestine.

But what do these far-flung incidents—vigils and occupations—that seem so at odds have to do with one another?

In previous columns, I’ve noted the dramatic polarization of our society toward the left and the right as the center fails, in the wake of crises both economic and political. Here, I would put forward that candlelight vigils at Duke and militant student occupations around the world suggest not necessarily a war between right and left, but a war within ourselves—a war between those of us to whom fighting injustice is a living and breathing commitment, and those to whom it is simply something to put on a resume, “proof” of one’s heart on the way to a career as an I-banker.

The MSA is hardly alone in this. Throughout the University, these tensions linger just below the surface. Duke Democrats undoubtedly have a few black sheep disillusioned by the limited “change” Obama has delivered. Among Blue Devils United, there are certainly those for whom “Remember Stonewall”—a fight against homophobes and the cops—is no empty phrase.

In each, we have a choice to make.

Such internal conflicts are nothing new, and we can look, perhaps, to the Civil Rights era, and the conflict between nonviolence and armed self-defense, to guide us in our search for answers today.

Debates between these two poles raged throughout the entire history of the Civil Rights Movement. As with so many intellectual debates, they were settled by the practical action of normal people on the ground. On Feb.l, 1960, just an hour away from here in Greensboro, N.C., four students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University sat at a lunch counter in Woolworth’s and refused to leave, making all the ink exchanged between Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Williams or Malcolm X to that point moot.

The tension between candlelight vigils and building occupations within our communities awaits a similar reckoning today, in the mass actions of students and young folks around the world.

But let’s be clear—to equate candlelight vigils with MLK and student occupations with Malcolm X or Robert Williams would be a mistake of the highest order. The reality is that those students occupying administration buildings around the world are taking up the nonviolent tradition of civil disobedience that MLK advocated. Those lighting candles have no precedent in the civil rights tradition that springs, immediately to mind. Very few people saw lighting candles as an effective means of struggle against white supremacy.

Some people will undoubtedly protest what I write here. They will say that I am doing a disservice to King’s legacy. These people need to remember that King was arrested dozens of times for acts of nonviolent civil disobedience like those students are engaged in today. Liberals that love his talk of a colorblind society tend to forget that King died in a hail of gunfire while organizing Memphis sanitation workers shortly after he began condemning the Vietnam War in terms that made Robert Williams himself blush.

Even today, people snicker on MLK Day, referring to it as “James Earl Ray Day.” Clearly, we still have not reached the promised land King dreamed of.

And yet, every day and with every indignity, the war within our communities intensifies. Today, we face a choice between the politics of vigils and the politics of occupation. The politics of Malcolm aren’t even an option yet.

Duke Basketball is a unifying force for all students on campus, and in targeting greeks, the program is isolating everyone else. Having assistant coaches speak to groups is a great way to get students excited for this upcoming season, but there is no reason these events should be limited to the greek com-

munity. Associate men’s basketball coach Chris Collins speaking in a common room, open to anyone, would attract a large crowd and ultimately do more to promote the team.

Also notable is that targeting greeks entirely ignores freshmen, who easily make up the

majority of the student section at any given game. Indoctrinating freshmen into the tradi-

tions ofCameron Indoor Stadiumand getting them excited is as important as reinvigorating

upperclassmen.

A “greek night” in Cameron will have the opposite effect the staff is hoping for, and will only isolate freshmen and independents.

Cameron is one of the few places where we aren’t fragmented into our greek or nongreek affiliations. We are all just Crazies, and the basketball staff should work to make all students feel welcome in Cameron.

Balloon Boy also rises Oct. 15, 2009, the world stopped what it was doing and thought it was watching a boy float away 2,000 feet above Ft. Collins, Colo Although his name is now Balloon Boy, he was never actually in the balloon.

The Internet has given us plenty of instances in which an unimportant event was elevated to undeserving heights of übiquity. But I cannot recall an instance' where the subject mat nathan freeman ter at hand so Bood mght> a™ thoroughly rises goodluck to the level of abrsurdity d cu'f the culture nurturing.it—that is to say, Balloon Boy may be the perfect way to articulate how an Internet economy built on the exchange of user-generated “news” content has ushered in a new Zeitgeist of irreverence.

Let’s get the facts straight: Falcon Heene is the youngest of the offspring produced by a couple who have been on ABC’s “Wife Swap” (twice), are fond of testing shoddy hovercrafts on ice rinks (with their kids inside), take their children on potentially deadly storm-chasing missions (to test an experimental “tornado cannon,” father Richard explained) and have been on a few UFO-hunting expeditions (yes, UFOs). And before his would-be airborne adventure, Falcon’s only previous experience in showbiz included a weirdly profane rap video shot with his brothers and displayed on the family’s YouTube site.

Last Thursday afternoon, I saw “Denver” moving up on the trending topics. Upon clicking on it, I discovered the story that would soon steal the attention of much of the blogosphere: a boy was trapped in a balloon high above his Colorado home.

The appeal of a story like this is obvious.

There is the voyeuristic desire to watch what could be a lurid tragedy unfold—is he going to fall out? On the other hand, there’s the powerful drama that erupts when you start to hope that this boy will be OK. But then there’s also the part that eventually gives the s tory staying power within the memosphere and even in-person conversation; the surrealist idea of a balloon—a symbol of innocence and whimsy—actually flying away with a child mside. Once the deception was revealed—and the name “Balloon Boy” proved to be an ironic misnomer—the consummation was complete, and the collective sense of humor that germinates all those dumb-joke laden e-mails began

I 23

to mine the story for inspiration.

Twitter trending topics were suddenly awash with news about Balloon Boy. News about his parents gets out? “Wife Swap” starts trending. Someone makes the connection to Kanye? “Imma” starts trending (i.e. YO BALLOON BOY IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT ANNE FRANK HAD ONE OF THE BEST ATTIC HIDEOUTS OF ALL TIME!”). And eventually, when the Balloon Boy Mania hit fever pitch, the top 10 Google Hot Trends and Twitter trending topics were all Falcon Heene-related.

Not everyone found insight in the national preoccupation with this bizarre turn of events.

Arianna Huffington took to her eponymous blog to bemoan everyone’s unyielding interest in something so inconsequential: “I find the media’s obsession with these non-stories especially galling when they lead to endless agonizing over the welfare of a child—agonizing that is sorely missing when there isn’t a hot air balloon or inner tube in shark-infested waters involved,” she wrote in an Oct. 19 post.

Her reaction to the spectacle was similar to Falcon’s regurgitory performance on Good Morning America the day after the incident: “No matter what happens in the unfolding legal saga of the Heene family, the most appropriate response to the whole matter was that ofFalcon Heene. He vomited. Twice. On national TV.” But in a column entitled “We’re All Balloon Boys Now,” Daniel Henninger, the Pultizer Prize-winning deputy editor of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, argues that the tenuous duality that connects reality to Reality TV has finally found the perfect spokesman; “The best thing to emerge from the balloon boy story... is that the guy who did it thought that staging a hoax would get him into reality TV programming. It had to come to this.”

And judging from the way in which Internet culture collectively responded to what turned out to be a staged performance, it seems like Henninger is on to something: as the non-stop user-generated newsfeed of Web 2.0 waited rapturously with bated breath, what seemed to be authentic news—the belief that true danger awaited young Falcon Heene was revealed to be fake as soon as the hollow cage of the balloon was opened, and no one was inside. As Henninger said, it makes sense that a D-list reality TV star would know that everyone would care so much about a boy in a balloon.

But despite the deception, the story lives on.

And the boy who never stepped foot in a balloon will be known forever as Balloon Boy. —

In

Japan, perversion seems to be profuse.

From the country that names food items after obscure sex practices and created the hentai boom, this is no big revelation.

Yet it is not something that is glaringly apparent at first glance At first glance, Japan appears to be an exceedingly polite and reserved country. It is a place where cops directing traffic, my bus driver and the subway conductors thank me everyday for I unknown reasons. People will bow before taking the seat next to me on the subway or bus, and will stare at me in horror if I am eating while walking (exlisa du tremely rude in Japan). moshi moshi It is hard to imagine anything like a pervert lingering anywhere in Japan.

But the truth is: Japan has a pervert problem However, this is a special kind of pervert. They are mainly profuse in crowded areas, public transportation and women’s bathrooms. They get off on groping women and enjoy taking indecent pictures without the other party’s knowledge.

These groping and other perverted incidents have increased steadily in the last couple ofyears. In 2004, a Tokyo survey found that more than 60 percent of Japanese women in their 20s and 30s admit to having been groped on a train.

I am thankful to say that I did not become aware of this pervert problem from first-hand experiences, but mainly from observation of the various ways Japan has gone to combat it.

I got my first taste of Japanese pervert prevention early during my study abroad. During my very first commute to school, I had been on my subway car for about three minutes when I realized something significant about my fellow passengers: they all lacked a Y chromosome.

A little puzzled, I had looked around some more and noticed a bright yellow sign on the door that read; “Women’s Only Car. From first train to 9:00. From 17:00 to 21:00.”

As the subway stopped at various stations, I saw the same bright yellow sign on the walls right outside, stating “Boarding Point for Women’s Only Car.” Apparently, males were not allowed on this car during rush hours. At that time, however, I failed to notice the social implications behind a women’s only car, and could only feel gratitude that I was born a girl—because if I had been a boy, I definitely would not have seen the sign before I got on the train either. And I dare not imagine the consequences of a man on a women’s only car.

Women’s only train cars date back to the 1920 in Japan, when a separate car was introduced for female students to ride on so older men would not stare and lust after bodies. They then went out of relative use, but made a comeback in 2000 after rising complaints from women of being harassed by drunken men and getting groped in crowded subway cars. Now, they exist in almost every major city.

Of course, there are other ways to avoid perverts on subways.

The most painful of these have high school girls carrying safety pins and prickling their assailants. The most direct method, however, is to simply grab the hand fondling one’s body and scream “CHIKAN!” (basically, pervert/molester in Japanese), though this is rarely utilized by Japanese women. In fact, the main cause of the rising numbers of train perverts is attributed to the fact that women rarely fight back if they are groped.

In addition to groping, photographing and recording women have also been a problem. This goes for both for perverts on crowded trains and perverts that like to hide out in women’s bathrooms, waiting to snap a rather obscene photo of an unaware victim.

Every couple of days, I’ll walk by a public bathroom somewhere and see a sign warning women of recent pervert antics and to be careful while using the restroom.

Japan’s answer to this particular problem was to attack the tool of the trade. I found out last month that the reason I could not turn off the shutter sound for the camera on my Japanese cell phone was because it was a preventative measure against perverts taking pictures without the subject’s knowledge. Similarly, when I tried taking an experimental video with my Japanese cell phone, I was greeted with a noise similar to a shotgun going off upon start and end of my recording.

Although observing Japan’s pervert prevention program never ceases to amuse, it does come with the unfortunate side effect of becoming very paranoid and adding on to my list of unnecessary worries. I am now somehow very aware of my behind, and anyone within reaching distance of it whenever I am on the subway or bus.', though I am doubtful any part of my body is actually worth grabbing. This, however, is something I guess I should be thankful for—at least in Japan.

music and new lyrics by Steoff-Broadway and Broadway successes of all phen time. Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" boasts a string of welt-loved songs, led by the international hit, "Day By Day." As the cast performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," "All Good Gifts, Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side," the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and hearteningly to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, "Godspell" is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.

At Duke, the Harlembased company's "bracing and immediate" adaptation of Beckett's play (Time Out NY) sharpens yet another radical edge of this timeless parable of abandonment.

directed by John-Michael Tebelak, with music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" is one of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of ail time. Based on the Gospel According to St Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score

by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, "Day By Day." As the cast performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side," the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and hearteningly to life.

Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, "Godspell" is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.

**Classical Theatre of Harlem's Waiting for Godot

This "dauntless" company (New York Times) drew a crowd of 10,000 to theNew Orleans performance of it's Godot revival, which it staged in the 9th Ward, on the porch of a flooded house, after black Americans had waited months for a more concrete kind of salvation. At Duke, the Harlem-based company's "bracing and immediate" adaptation of Beckett's play (Time Out NY) sharpens yet another radical edge of this timeless parable of abandonment. The tramps, the road, and the tree could be in Wilmington (race riot 1898), Rocky Mount (flooded 1999), Durham or anywhere Americans wait for help that either will arrive or won't.
