Higher ed: not a primary issue Presidential candidates are not focusing on higher education

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

DURHAM, N.H. The first state primary of the 2000 election cycle is only a few weeks away, and candidates from both parties gathered at the University of New Hampshire last week to outline their agendas. The debate topics ranged widely, from health care to foreign policy, but candidates said little regarding higher education and financial aid, the issues with the greatest direct impact on student life.

Broadly speaking, education regularly appears near the top in surveys of all Americans’ major concerns. In a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted in early November, respondents placed education below only health

care, Social Security, the budget deficit and taxes as an important problem for government.

However, the public’s focus on education usually reflects concerns about the quality of local schools, not necessarily the issues that are most important to universities and their students.

“I don’t think higher education is going to be high on the agenda of any candidate,” said John Burness, the University’s senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “K through 12 education is in such difficulties nationally that the focus is going to be there.”

Indeed, most of the candidates’ conversations about education have not focused on See

last stages of life, President Nan Keohane announced late Wednesday afternoon.

Westbrook organized gifts from the Foundation for the End of Life Care, the DadeFund of the Dade Community Foundation and VITAS Healthcare, the hospice provider he

co-founded in 1978.

Using a three-pronged approach—training, public education and research and teaching—the Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life will address the ways in which caregivers, from pastors to surgeons, can best attend to the dying elderly.

“I would hope the institute would have direct influence so that in 20 years from now, we would see changes in terms of public policy and care at the bedside as well as a deeper and more effective understanding of what it means to die well,” said Divinity School Dean Gregory Jones.

The institute’s work will

focus mostly on bringing together the issues—religious, financial and medical—involved in medical decisions

for dying patients and their families.

“Good pain management from the medical side allows for patients to deal with the end of life and... the spiritual and other issues,” said institute director Dr. Keith Meador, an associate clinical professor of psychiatry. “On the other side, family and spiritual care will promote better pain management.”

Since Westbrook founded VITAS, the company has grown into the largest hospice care provider in the United States, serving 32,000 patients each year—more than four times its closest competitor. Westbrook, an ordained United Methodist minister and now CEO of VITAS, lives in Miami.

“This will be the first comprehensive institute ofits kind that will address areas with care at the end of life,” Westbrook said. “That says a lot about the status of end-of-life care. It is something that happens every day and we avoid talking about every day....

Duke’s willingness to not only study and teach but to commit

itself to delivering end-of-life care are the important elements that make Duke the unique place for the institute to be created.”

Durham Regional staff reacts nervously to financial woes

By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle

Durham Regional Hospital’s severe and widely publicized financial troubles have made some of its employees uncertain about the hospital’s future. The hospital merged with Duke University Health System in July 1998 in an attempt to make it more solvent, but it now faces a serious $4.3 million deficit.

This downturn has raised some concerns among employees about promises from Duke, especially the “no layoffs” policy, a Duke pledge that no Durham Regional employee would be fired within the first three years of the merger.

Most employees at Durham Regional were very uneasy to talk about the issue and none were willing to go on record.

“I’m thinking about the latest developments,” said an operating room employee, “but I’m not terribly concerned since there’s not much I can do about it.”

His words echoed a general sense within the hospi-

Durham

officials work on

tal’s staff that Durham Regional is losing some of the independence it had before the merger.

A long-time technician expressed concern over the latest developments.

“I think the budgetary loss is being played up to gain a greater control of the hospital by the DUHS,” he said. “We used to have control over our own Mike Israel destiny—now we don’t.”

Mike Israel, CEO of Duke Hospital, maintained that there is nothing to be gained by manufacturing a crisis. He affirmed that DUHS simply bears the responsibility for operating the hospital, while the county commissioners approve the strategic plans.

However, Israel did acknowledge that in order for the commissioners to retain this power, the hospital has to

city-county

make a profit of 3.5 percent of its operating budget, “But even if someone thinks that we are Machiavellian enough to think up such a scheme,” said Israel, “they should know that we pushed back the goal of reaching a 3.5 percent margin by three years.”

In general, Israel said that although he understands why employees might be worrying, he was confident that Durham Regional’s financial problems will be solved.

Some employees worried about the changing character of Durham Regional. Several nurses said they would not like to see Durham Regional go the way of DUHS, becoming more like a business and less personal.

Durham Regional CEO Richard Myers countered that the hospital is a business and as such has to be brought into alignment. “We simply cannot operate within a deficit,” he said.

Furthermore, Israel added that DUHS is not like See HOSPITAL on page 14

Justices let cops frisk fleeing people Supreme Court ruling allows police to search people who flee from them The majority, in an opinion by

By LINDA GREENHOUSE

Chief Justice William Rehnquist, held that the man’s presence in an area known for heavy narcotics trafficking, combined with his unprovoked flight, justified the search.

The dissenters, in an opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens, said the known facts of the case were too ambiguous to justify the conclusion that the officer had the requisite level of suspicion under the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches.

The decision overturned a ruling by the Illinois Supreme Court

N.Y. Times News Service

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a person’s flight at the mere sight of a police officer could often, in the context of other factors, be suspicious enough to justify police in conducting a stop-and-frisk search.

Although all justices agreed with that broadly stated view, the court split 5-4 on how to apply it to a Chicago case in which a man bolted at the sight of a convoy ofpolice cars.

An officer chased him and found he was carrying a loaded gun.

that fleeing at high speed could not provide the “reasonable suspicion” necessary to justify a stopand-frisk search. The state court reasoned that because people have the right to walk away from an encounter with police—a right that earlier Supreme Court decisions have made clear—they also had the right to leave the scene at high speed.

In its appeal, the state of Illinois had requested a flat rule the other way: that unprovoked flight always gave rise to reasonable susSee

Japan halts growth of nuclear power plants

By HOWARD FRENCH N.Y. Times News Service

TOKYO The director of Tokyo’s huge electric power company made no mention of public opinion when he announced the postponement of plans to use a new plutonium fuel.

But the politician whom he was with when he made the announcement, Gov. Eisaku Sato of the Fukushima prefecture—the site of many nuclear plants—left no doubt that the public’s newly raised suspicions about nuclear power were precisely what the postponement was all about.

This was no time for an expansion of the nuclear program, Sato said, citing Japan’s worst nuclear accident in September which killed one worker and exposed scores of people to radiation. “Now is the time for mourning.”

THE REGULATOR BOOKSHOP PRESENTS

The brief meeting between the industry chief and the governor illustrated how sharply the ground has begun to shift under Japan’s electric utilities since workers set off the accidental chain reaction at Tokaimura, 70 miles north of Tokyo.

More than any event in a history full of serious mishaps, the accident, which forced a partial evacuation of the town and set off a death watch for the irradiated workers, rattled the ironclad coalition between industry and government that has long made Japan, a country with precious few domestic sources of energy, the world’s most ambitious user of nuclear energy, which provided one-third of it supplies.

Strikingly, in a country known for its political quiescence, the sharp movement of public opinion against nuclear power has taken the form of a genuine See NUCLEAR on page

For most Duke students, beer is chea comes in kegs and tastes horrible. But that is changing, thanks to Durham’s beer renaissance. ,

Brew übs such as Top of the Hill, the Carolina Brewery and Tobacco Roadhouse are doing

“With the influx of other specialty beers from other places, the local brewers have realized that the standard for quality beer has risen,” Irby said.

Another impetus for the rising demand for specialty beers is a backlash against mass-produced brews.

“It’s the same thing that’s driven the popularity of home-baked cookies, local bakeries, local-based cuisine,” Bradford said. ‘There’s a movement that’s trying to be an antidote to fast-f00d... going against a trend of glob-

Now, beer consumers want a brew “with top ingredients, painstakingly produced with a local character,” she added.

The large amount of college students in the Triangle has helped spark the beer renaissance, Irby said.

“The three major universities have students from around the country and they come down and say, ‘Oh, there’s some good beer down here,”’ Irby said. “They also look for their own home brews.”

Rice emphasized the importance of educating the beer drinker, as did Bradford. An assistant research professor at the Nicholas School of the Environment, she wishes she could teach young people to drink beer the right way.

“The motto of our magazine is drink less and drink better,” she said. Her dream course to teach is “beer drinking for novices....

Grad students seek academic space County officials consider merger

This is the fourth story in an occasional series exploring graduate student life.

By JAIME LEVY

� This week, the Durham County Commissioners began the process that is leading toward a November referendum on a merger with the city of Durham.

The Chronicle

Graduate students share several of the same academic responsibilities as professors —teaching classes, meeting with students, conducting research —but many graduate and professional students say they work each day in facilities that are inadequate to meet these obligations.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council’s student life proposal to the Board of Trustees lists the lack of academic space as a serious problem for the students in several departments and programs. In the long-term, the proposal suggests that the University build additional facilities and, in general, keep graduate students in mind when it considers reallocating existing space.

Several administrators agreed that academic space is critical to the graduate and professional student experience.

“We need to do a good inventory of availability and needs and evaluate these in the context of the overall space needs of the departments and the possibilities for creating more space for them and their grad students,” said Provost Peter Lange.

As far as short-term solutions go, the GPSC proposal suggests that graduate students have access to suitable classrooms for the classes they teach and that they should be able to reserve classrooms at non-class times for optional class activities.

Graduate students also have concerns about office space. Susan Jarosi, an art history graduate student, explained that after the departments’ graduate student offices were renovated and turned into faculty space, the students were relocated to one office in the basement of the West Duke Building. The rest of the department is located in the East Duke Building. “(The office is] rarely ever used, I think, because of the miserable environment, and because it is in a dif-

The report recommends that student offices have improved heating and cooling systems, be cleaned more regularly and include adequate office furniture.

Jarosi added that there is no intellectually-based “common area” for graduate students to share.

“For graduate students in the departments, the experience is extremely isolating—you spend an awful lot of time in the little [carrels]...,” said Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel. “Appropriate See ACADEMIC

The year has only just begun, but Durham officials are already tackling one of the most pressing issues on the 2000 agenda: the proposed citycounty merger.

On Monday, the board of county commissioners approved funds for a cost-benefit analysis of the merger and began to consider the structure for the merger charter commission.

At their meeting, the commissioners voted unanimously to pay their share—half of the $93,900 tab for DMG Maximus, a Chicago-based consulting firm. The city will pay the remainder.

In addition to providing a clear assessment of each government’s resources, the analysis will help determine the effect a merger will have on

taxes and salaries for Durham employees, said board chair MaryAnn Black.

The vast majority of land falls within city limits, but the city and county governments operate largely independently—creating the possibility for redundancy and inefficiency.

But without concrete answers to questions about the fiscal ramifications of a merger, county commissioner Ellen Reckhow said she does not think citizens will even consider a merger proposal.

The commissioners stressed that going ahead See MERGER on page 14

Study explores liver transplant flaws Ruling slows Duke Duke scientists discovered that freezing the organs damages important cells

By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle

“Transplanted livers must be kept cold to preserve their functions, so if we can understand how [important] cells are injured, then we can try to block those mechanisms.”

A recent study at the Medical Center may be the first step in improving the success of liver transplants.

The study, which used a rat model, showed that the cold temperature required to transport livers for transplantation produces a chain reaction that ultimately causes the death of important cells called hepatocytes. Although researchers previously knew that some cells were damaged during transplantation, this study is the first that identified which cells were dying and why. “[This research] provides further support for the concept that there are host factors that contribute to liver preservation injury,” said Dr. Gregory Gores, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic’s Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. The research may also explain why a transplanted liver often functions poorly after it is transplanted.

The findings, published in the January issue of the journal Gastroenterology, present a conflict for researchers who know that transplanted livers must be kept cold at the cost of losing other important cells.

“With anything good there are side effects,” said lead researcher Dr. Pierre-Alain Clavien, professor of general surgery and chief transplant surgeon at the Medical Center. “Transplanted livers must be kept cold to preserve their functions, so if we can under-

stand how [important] cells are injured, then we can try to block those mechanisms.”

The research team used a unique system in which blood samples with and without platelets were circulated through healthy livers removed from rats’ bodies.

At temperatures near freezing, platelets triggered the death, or apoptosis, of highly specialized cells called sinusoidal endothelial cells. Clavien said these cells appear only in the liver and line the tiny blood vessels that form a vast network throughout the organ

Dr. Pierre-Alain Clavien, PROFESSOR OF GENERAL SURGERY “We found that platelets stick to endothelial cells [in prepared liver transplants! and trigger apoptosis of those cells in rats,” he said.

He hopes to use this knowledge to understand liver grafts in humans, who exhibit known similar characteristics.

Clavien also believes the damaged endothelial cells

may be correlated to the injury and death of another

critical set of specialized cells called hepatocytes, which have complex functions including overseeing the manufacture of as many as 5,000 different proteins in the liver.

Clavien’s ongoing research includes finding the molecules and mechanism by which platelets trigger endothelial apoptosis. In addition, the results of the study support the potential development of a drug that can hinder the apoptotic process initiated by the platelets.

However, until more research is conducted, Clavien suggests that physicians consider changing their transplantation protocol. For instance, he believes the study supports minimizing the administration of platelet transfusions to liver transplant patients, as some centers and clinics routinely do to offset the significant blood loss associated with liver transplants.

From staff and wire reports A family that has waited more than three years for the payoff from its courtroom victory against the University will wait even longer, a Su-

perior Court clerk ordered.

Duke was found guilty of negligence in treating a 10-year-old boy, and the jury awarded a multi-million dollar settlement.

James Carr, Durham clerk of the Superior Court, issued an order Jan. 10 saying he will not force Duke to dole out more than $4 million because of the wording in a 1997 court decision.

The decision said the money should not be paid until all “further orders of IVpwC J this court or until the appeal 11 ofthis court is completed.” Tfc f*| Carr’s order keeps open a case that three courts, ineluding the state Court of Appeals and the state Supreme Court, have ruled should end.

In November 1999, the state Supreme Court upheld a $2.5 million award given by a Durham jury in 1997 to Finesse Couch and her family in the 1992 death of her 10-year-old son, Carnell.

The Durham jury ruled that doctors and other medical personnel were negligent when they treated Camell for pneumonia and overlooked blood clots that ultimately killed him.

This month, attorneys for the Couches asked the clerk to release the money to the family, saying the case was resolved. But the University’s attorney, James Maxwell, argued to block the payment and the $l.l million in interest because some issues in the case remain unresolved.

One issue is the disciplining of an attorney for See

Turkey postpones execution of rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan The Kurdish instigator of a guerrilla war may be spared to speed Turkey’s acceptance into the European Union

By STEPHEN KINZER N.Y. Times News Service

Responding ISTANBUL, Turkey to European pressure and hoping to end a civil conflict that has shaken this country for 15 years, Turkish leaders decided Wednesday to postpone the execution of the country’s most prominent Kurdish rebel.

The prisoner, Abdullah Ocalan, who directed a guerrilla war aimed at winning more rights for Turkey’s Kurdish minority, was convicted of treason in June and sentenced to die. Wednesday’s decision means that he will probably remain alive for at least a year and perhaps escape the death sentence altogether.

The decision could also accelerate Turkey’s move toward membership in the European Union, which has become a transcendent national goal. European leaders have been pressing Turkey strongly not to execute Ocalan.

His fate has become a major factor in the debate over Turkey’s entry into the union, all of whose members have

banned the death penalty.

Besides solidifying relations with Europe, the decision also holds out the possibility of improved relations between the government and Kurds who sympathize with Ocalan. Fighting in the Kurdish region has died down, and there have been tentative steps toward reconciliation.

Britain ceases an on gays in military

By SARAH LYALL

N.Y. Times News Service

LONDON The British government announced a code ofconduct for the military Wednesday that ends its ban on gay men and women serving openly in the armed forces.

The action follows a European court ruling last fall that Britain could no longer keep the exclusion.

It ends a decades-old practice of subjecting gays in the military to intrusive investigations and dishonorable discharges.

The change brings Britain into line with almost all other NATO nations, including France, Canada and Germany, which allow openly gay men and lesbians to serve in their armed forces.

The United States, with its “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, is at variance with that trend. The policy, adopted by the Clinton administration, allows gays to serve provided they do not disclose or discuss their sexuality. President Bill Clinton himself has objected to the results of the policy.

In the U.S. presidential campaign, both contenders for the Democratic nomination have said they would work to change the policy to allow gays to serve openly, while leading Republicans stand by the policy. The topic has become more charged since the killing of a gay soldier at a Kentucky base last summer.

The new British policy sets out a code of conduct for all manner ofsocial and sexual relations, whether heterosexual or homosexual.

Under the guidelines, “unacceptable social conduct” that might result in disciplinary action includes sexual harassment; overt displays of affection which might offend others and taking sexual advantage of subordinates.

The code determines that commanders have the right to be aware of and to intervene in the personal lives of their subordinates.

“In the area of personal relationships,” it says, there is an “overriding operational imperative to sustain team cohesion and to maintain trust and loyalty between commanders and those they command.”

That “imposes a need for standards of social behavior which are more demanding than those required by society at large,” the statement said.

The about-face in British policy became inevitable on Sept. 27 when the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, unanimously ruled in favor of four former servicemen and women who were discharged in the mid-1990s because of their homosexuality. In ruling against the British government, the court found that its ban violated the fundamental human right to privacy, as set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.

In cases where Britons argue that their rights have been violated, Strasbourg serves as a court of last resort, much the way the Supreme Court functions in the United States.

Britain signed the European convention, with 40 other countries, and thus obliged itself to abide by the See BRITAIN on page

12

The decision taken Wednesday was

to postpone the execution until the European Court of Human Rights has ruled on his appeal.

The appeal focused on the fairness of the closed trial and not the death sentence, and there was no guarantee that Turkey will accept the European Court’s ruling. But the court was set up under the European Convention on Human Rights, which Turkey ratified, and Turkey has accepted rulings of the court in the past.

However the appeal plays out, the government decision marked a victory for Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit. He not only opposes the death penalty but also hopes to secure his place in histo-

ry by leading Turkey toward the European Union.

Ecevit’s task Wednesday was to win over his senior coalition partner, Devlet Bahceli, who heads the far-right Nationalist Action Some leaders of Nationalist Action, along with many of its rank-and-file members, have been clamoring for Ocalan’s quick execution. But Wednesday Bahceli chose to overrule them.

Bahceli made no statement after the meeting at which the decision was reached. But Ecevit, evidently seeking to calm emotions in Bahceli’s party, asserted that he would support executing Ocalan “if the terrorist organization and

Institute on end-of-life care sketches grand plans GIFT from page

nurses from the Medical Center, theologians and ethicists from the Divinity School and humanities experts from arts and sciences departments, the institute will involve a few new faculty hires both inside and outside the Di-

vinity School.

The center will also work collaboratively with pastors and caregivers around the country and social work professors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In other words, caregivers from across the nation will have different levels of commitment to the institute’s work—while some will research, teach and train for the institute full time, others will consult with the core staff at the University.

In the next few months, the insti-

tute will establish ties with a historically black college or university to help it address issues of unique relevance to the black community, which has largely been neglected by the hospice industry.

There are also plans to affiliate with the Department of Palliative Care and Policy at King’s College at the University of London and London’s St. Christopher’s Hospice, where the modern-day hospice movement began.

The institute’s first program, the March 2 symposium “Opening Doors: Access to Care at the End of Life,” will draw to campus experts from around the nation to discuss accessibility of

end-of-life care, quality-of-life issues, a patient-and-family caregiving model and the character virtues needed to be an effective caregiver.

THE NEWLY CREATED

Ultimately, organizers hope that the seminar’s findings would be widely dis-

seminated, like the research the institute will eventually produce.

By formulating a public relations strategy to bring research to mass media and professional journals, the institute will make education a major part

of its work.

Later in the year, a seminar in Washington D.C. will address the

affairs and government relations,

problem as it relates to public policy and the community, and is meant to attract ordinary citizens as well as politicians.

“This is quite a large gift for a divinity school program, maybe the

Citizens’ groups protest use of new plutonium-based fuel NUCLEAR from page 2

groundswell, from subway straphangers horrified by stories about safety lapses to small civic groups that have started petition drives against the industry’s expansion to local political candidates who are running for office on the issue.

Public protest has not been common in Japanese society for well over a generation, having mostly died out since Japan attained the level of affluence of many Western countries, starting in the 19605.

But in recent years—timidly at first, and then with growing speed—localized movements have been springing up and asserting themselves more boldly, notably in the courts, to protect consumer interests or the environment.

Since the Tokaimura accident, small citizens’ groups, encouraged by the spreading awareness of the risks of nuclear energy, have suedregional power companies to prevent the introduction of the new plutonium fuel and petitioned local governments to block

plant construction.

A scandal involving the falsification of inspection data by the British maker of plutonium pellets has also strengthened resistance.

The grassroots activists have put the nuclear industry on the defensive in ways that recall its decline in the United States and much of Europe after the accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl.

In the clearest example of the impact of local mobilization, Mayor Takaaki Sasaguchi of Maki, in the Nigata prefecture, used his announcement ofhis re-election campaign Tuesday to declare his opposition to plans to build a new plant in his city.

The industry, citing unflinching support from the national government and Japan’s near total dependence on imported fuels, has pledged to stick to its plans for plutonium, which it describes as a step toward developing so-called fast-breeder technology.

With fast-breeder reactors —whose development remains, perhaps, decades away—proponents say Japan will be able to produce more plutonium fuel than it consumes and achieve the holy grail of energy independence.

In the meantime, industry officials say they merely need to be patient until public passions against nuclear energy die down, and they will proceed with plans to build many plutonium-buming plants.

‘There is only enough uranium in the world to last 72 years, and our country is not endowed with fossil fuels,” the chair of the Federation of Electric Power Companies, Hiroji Ota, said. “There are some other alternative power sources like solar and wind energy.

But they all present technical problems. For all these reasons, MOX fuel is appropriate for Japan.”

MOX, or mixed oxide fuel is the new plutoniumbased fuel that the largest utilities had planned to start using late last year.

In western Takahama, a former fishing village that is home to four nuclear power plants, the surprising face of the antinuclear activism is a citizens’ group largely made up of homemakers and elderly people.

Judging from the group’s determination, the utilities may be underestimating the opposition.

In October, the group started a drive that collected 2,170 signatures in a town of fewer than 9,000 inhabitants. The focus of the drive, like that of much of the recent opposition to nuclear power in Japan, is the new plutonium-based fuel.

On a recent morning, the group delivered a letter to Mayor Riichi Imai, exquisitely polite in its protocol in a typically Japanese manner but absolutely firm in its message—the town must refuse the new fiiel.

Lighting a cigarette, Imai refused to commit himself, saying he would explain his position soon before the regional assembly. That provoked a bitter laugh from Masae Sawayama, 90, the group’s doyenne.

“It occurred to me that our mayor might do like most politicians do and go tell a bunch of lies later,” Sawayama said.

The uphill struggle of the group becomes clear on entering City Hall, where large interactive displays show idyllic color images of the town’s plants nestled in the hills by a rocky bay. Even public parks there are decorated with statues and monuments that commemorate mastery of the atom.

Fishing has almost disappeared as away of life.

Nowadays, whether directly or indirectly, the regional utility, the Kansai Electric Power Co., employs the bulk of the population.

The electric company has spared no effort to keep the townspeople on its side, subsidizing regular bus tours to its headquarters in Osaka, more than two hours away, for safety briefings. And residents say the cable television company runs annoyingly frequent public-service-style announcements on the benefits of nuclear power.

Despite all that, the Tokaimura nuclear fuel processing accident seems to have awakened the deep Japanese allergy to things nuclear, born after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the country in 1945.

And many have put their foot down and said no to the new program, seizing on studies by scientists in France, which uses MOX fuel in a limited way, and in the United States, which does not, that have shown that the fuels are more unstable during burning

“There is only enough uranium in the world to last 72 years, and our country is not endowed with fossil fuels.”

than the plain uranium fuels that they are intended to replace.

In the end, Imai, who has been a strong supporter of nuclear power throughout his career, had no choice but to oppose the new fuel, at least for now.

Announcing his turnabout, Imai spoke bitterly, saying he felt betrayed by the industry experts who had campaigned for his approval of MOX.

England’s ruling follows lead Turkish citizens increasingly from Court of Human Rights support suspension of death fending its ban, it also pointed to surcourt’s rulings, even to the extent of veys that it says show that members of the armed services are reluctant to changing its laws if necessary. Previous cases have forced Britain to end serve with gay men and lesbians.

Responding to Wednesday’s ancorporal punishment in schools and to lain Duncan Smith, the nouncement, to and to greater give rights prisoners defense Party’s Conservative suspected terrorists. said that was no reathere Wednesday’s announcement follows spokesman, a decision Tuesday by the European son to believe that people in the armed Union’s highest legal body, the Court of services would be more willing to acJustice in Luxembourg, which ruled in cept gays than they had in the past.

“I believe and have always befavor of a woman who argued that Germany’s constitutional ban against lieved,” Duncan Smith said, “that we women bearing arms amounted to unshould follow the advice of the armed BRITAIN from page 7

lawful sexual discrimination.

In the House of Commons Wednesday afternoon, Geoffrey Hoon, the defense secretary, acknowledged that the human rights court’s ruling had left the government with no choice but to end the ban. “The European Court ofHuman Rights ruling makes very clear that the existing policy in relation to homosexuality must change,” he said.

“As all personal behavior will be regulated by the code of conduct,” he said, “there is no longer a reason to deny homosexuals the opportunity of a career in the armed forces.”

The British defense department has long argued that the presence of gays in the military would depress morale among the 210,000 uniformed personnel and disrupt the services’ effectiveness as fighting forces. In de-

forces, which had always been that lifting the ban would adversely affect operational effectiveness.”

But supporters of gay rights and civil liberties applauded the change, saying that it was overdue.

“When I first came to Stonewall seven years ago, I was shocked that lesbians and gay men in the armed forces were treated so brutally,” said Angela Mason, the executive director of the gay-rights group Stonewall. “I am very proud that as from today, they will be able to serve their country with dignity and respect And Roger Garford, a member of Rank Outsiders, a support group for gay men and lesbians who are serving or have served in the military, said he welcomed the news that no one in the armed forces could now be forced to go through what he did in the early 1980s. ”

OCALAN from page 7 its supporters try to use this process against the high interests of Turkey.”

In recent days, newspapers have been full of warnings that executing Ocalan would not only alienate Europe but also lead to a resumption of fighting in the mostly Kurdish southeast, hurt the economy, and probably bring down the government.

President Suleyman Demirel had

urged that the execution be postponed in deference to “Turkey’s higher interests.”

“We need to proceed in accordance with reason, not emotion,” Demirel said.

According to reports in the Turkish press, the country’s intelligence agency also opposed an execution.

It reportedly prepared a confidential memo urging the government to “use” Ocalan rather than risk turning him into a martyr.

Under Turkish law, Parliament must approve all executions. There have been none here since 1984, although death sentences are still occasionally handed down.

Within Turkey, Ocalan has two very different images.

For years the press has been describing him in terms like terrorist, murderer and baby-killer. Many Turks have come to share this view, among them relatives of fallen soldiers and nationalists who support them.

A large number of Kurds, however, speak of Ocalan with respect and admiration. More than a few consider

him their leader.

Soon after his capture in February, Ocalan began issuing calls for an end to the guerrilla war.

The government has not responded, and in recent days the police carried out a new round of raids on legal Kurdish political offices.

There are signs, however, that the political climate may be slowly changing. Several Kurdish politicians have said they may soon try to launch new pro-Kurdish parties.

One pillar of the political establishment, former prime minister Mesut Yilmaz, caused a stir last month when

he declared, “The road leading to the European Union passes through Diyarbakir.” Diyarbakir is the biggest city in the Kurdish region and a hotbed ofKurdish nationalism.

In another sign of possibly softening

attitudes, Foreign Minister Ismail Gem said he believed Kurds should be allowed to operate television stations in their own language.

The authorities have refused this right for years, fearing that Kurdishlanguage broadcasts would encourage separatist feelings.

After Cem made his statement, an aggrieved citizen filed a complaint against him, demanding that he be prosecuted under laws that forbid advocating separatism.

A judge refused, saying Gem’s comment was not extreme enough to deserve prosecution.

Law enforcement officials support justices’ opinion on flight RULING from page 2

picion, regardless of the presence or absence of any

other element. The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday did not go that far, adhering instead to its traditional inquiry into the broader context. “The determination of reasonable suspicion must be based on commonsense judgments and inferences about human behavior,” wrote the chief justice.

The situation in Wednesday’s case is one that occurs frequently in ordinary police work, and state courts have been in considerable disarray. Most have held that running from police, even in a high crime area, is not enough to justify a stop-and-frisk. The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that it is.

The full import of Wednesdays ruling, Illinois vs.

Wardlow, No. 98-1036, will be uncertain until state courts begin applying it in actual cases. Rehnquist’s five-page majority opinion was sufficiently cryptic to permit several shades of interpretation over how much weight to attach to the element of flight.

The majority opinion did make clear that flight alone would not automatically justify a stop, but it should be given heavy weight in any analysis. “Headlong flight—wherever it occurs—is the consummate act of evasion; it is not necessarily indicative of wrongdoing, but it is certainly suggestive of such,” he said.

Rehnquist’s opinion said flight was not a “mere refusal to cooperate” with police, or an aspect of “going about one’s business,” but was “just the opposite.” He added: “Allowing officers confronted with such flight to stop the fugitive and investigate further is quite consistent with the individual’s right to go about his business or to stay put and remain silent in the face of police questioning.”

Law-enforcement organizations that had filed briefs in the case regarded the outcome as a substantial victory. Robert Scully, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said the de-

cision was a victory for “effective law enforcement.”

On the other hand, professor Barry Friedman, a criminal-law expert at New York University Law School, said the decision was a “troubling indication of the court’s obliviousness to what’s really going on in the country.” Friedman said the majority opinion failed to acknowledge the growing evidence of police practices of “racial profiling” and the singling out of black people and members ofother minority groups.

Stevens’ dissenting opinion contained lengthy ref-

erences to such incidents and investigations in New Jersey, Massachusetts and elsewhere. “Among some citizens, particularly minorities and those resident in high crime areas,” Stevens wrote, “there is also the possibility that the fleeing person is entirely innocent, but, with or without justification, believes that contact with the police can itself be dangerous, apart from any criminal activity associated with the

officer’s sudden presence.”

The incident that led to Wednesday’s decision occurred at mid-day on a Chicago street in 1995. As four police cars on narcotics patrol approached the sidewalk where he was standing, Sam Wardlow turned and ran down an alley. An officer caught him and, in a pat-down search, felt a gun in a bag he was carrying under his arm. Stevens said the police officer’s testimony about what actually happened was too vague to support a finding of reasonable suspicion.

The decision was an application of the court’s 1968 decision in Terry vs. Ohio, which for the first time authorized a warrantless, brief detention and search of a person acting suspiciously but under circumstances less conclusive than probable cause. Rehnquist wrote in the ruling that “in allowing such detentions, Terry accepts the risk that officers may stop innocent people.”

The majority opinion was joined by Justices Sandra Day O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas.

The dissent was joined by Justices David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.These were among the court’s other actions Wednesday: The court ruled, 9-0, that criminal defendants do not have a constitutional right to represent themselves on appeal. The decision, Martinez vs. Court of Appeal, No. 98-7809, upheld a ruling by a California appellate court.

A The case was somewhat unusual in nia prison inmate, convicted ' and serving a sentence of 25 years to life under the state’s three-strikes law, filed his own Supreme Court appeal on the representation issue and persuaded the justices °

!

to take his case. But that was as far as the court went; it appointed a lawyer, Ronald Maines, to represent the inmate, Salvador Martinez.

The basis for the debate on the right of self-representation was a 1975 Supreme Court decision, Faretta vs. California, which gave criminal defendants the right to represent themselves at trial.

Writing for the court Wednesday, Stevens said the historical analysis that supported the 1975 ruling did not apply to appeals, which were not available under common law and, although provided for by law in the state and federal systems today, are not guaranteed by the Constitution. Stevens said states were “clearly within their discretion” to conclude the government’s interest in the integrity, efficiency and fairness of the appellate proceeding outweighs the inmate’s interest.

The justices displayed a lively interest during an ar-

gument on whether a state can constitutionally permit grandparents or others to petition for the right to visit with a child over the objection of parents who have not been shown to be unfit. The Washington state Supreme Court declared that state’s law unconstitutional; all states have some form of “grandparents’ visitation” law, although the Washington state law, permitting petitions by any third party, was one of the broadest.

In fact, the law was “breathtakingly broad,” O’Connor told Mark Olson, the lawyer for grandparents seeking visitation with the children of their late son. Most of the justices appeared troubled by the law but, at the same time, appeared unready to give full endorsement to the argument of Catherine Smith, representing the children’s mother, that in the absence of evidence that children are being harmed, the parents should have an absolute veto power over who gets to see them.

Committee setup Officials say DUHS will honor commitments generates debates HOSPITAL from page 1

with the analysis does not necessarily signify a commitment to the merger; many are still hesitant about overhauling local government.

In fact, commissioner Becky Heron expressed minor concerns that the consultant may be inherently pro-merger. “My disappointment in the consultant was he brought information about entities that merged [from around the country], but not those that didn’t merge,” she said, adding that Durham officials should examine communities in North Carolina that attempted to merge and failed.

While the consultant works, the commissioners are moving forward with discussions about the make-up of the charter commission, the committee that would suggest a blueprint for the merger. Once the commission makes its recommendation, the proposal would be subject to city council and county commission approval before going to a referendum.

Although Black and Mayor Nick Tennyson had hoped to formulate some concrete ideas about the

other hospitals in North Carolina. “We house some of the sickest patients and have 7,000 employees, which is more than the population of some small towns,” he said.

More importantly, Israel reiterated that Durham Regional is not meant to be a “mini-Duke Hospital” and that both hospitals may grow even more personable as a result of the merger.

But despite the financial and emotional rollercoaster, the quality of care seems to have remained the same.

Jackie Forsythe, a patient, said she never had a bad experience at Durham Regional and that she hopes things stay that way. Other patients said they have seen no difference in the level of services offered since the merger.

On the part of the employees, a medical specialist

summarized the mood best: “We just hope that Duke sticks to the promises,” he said.

Israel responded to such concerns by first acknowledging them as appropriate given the hospital’s desperate financial situation.

But he added that DUHS has not backed away from any commitments and that it now has administrators with past success actively engaged in finding solutions. A firm strategy for resolving the budget deficit is expected soon.

Israel also made it clear that sticking to promises is of great importance to DUHS and him personally.”

“My ability to do my job,” he said, “depends on my credibility.”

Israel encouraged all employees to feel free to contact management about any concerns through the existing “in-touch” system or direct contact. “They can send me an e-mail if they like,” he said.

commission’s make-up at their Monday meeting, they decided they needed further discussion with

their colleagues.

“I wanted to do more thinking about how many people should be on the commission and how it should be formed,” Black said. “Also, I haven’t had a chance to discuss some ideas with all of the commissioners.”

Commissioners are still trying to determine whether elected officials should sit on the task force.

Heron, for example, said elected officials should be an important part of the commission.

“Basically the buck stops with us and we have to make the final decision,” Heron said, explaining

that since the commissioners have the authority to reject a proposal, it made sense to include them on the task force.

But Reckhow disagreed. “I feel that it would be good for the current elected officials to stay out of the process,” she said. “That will allow the committee to get a fresh start and chart a new course for the community.”

Although not all the details have been finalized, Black did have some visions for the committee. The group would probably not exceed 40 people, she said, and would likely include citizens with specific areas of expertise such as law or finance.

Additionally, she said, she would like to include representatives from various neighborhoods. “I want to look at the entire county and ensure that representatives come from the entire population,” Black said. “We would send letters to various organizations asking to nominate people.”

Despite the lingering questions, Black was confident a decision can be made in time for inclusion on the Jan. 24 agenda.

Even as commissioners work on individual aspects of the merger process, some argued that the whole process is process is moving too quickly.

“I think the whole thing is on a fast track. With something as important as this, I think we’re moving entirely too fast,” Heron said. “This county will be here a long time after all of us are gone.”

She said she wants to make sure Durham gathers as much information as possible and has time to educate its citizens. “The citizens have got to know what they’re voting for,” she added. “I don’t think we have given ourselves enough time to do all this.”

But Reckhow disagreed, saying that the most recent advances are still exploratory and officials are not locked into anything. If, for example, the cost-benefit analysis showed the merger would be detrimental to the community, officials could halt the process, she said. “We always have that safety valve.”

Reckhow added that the commissioners are working with the goal of having a proposal on the November 2000 ballot, to ensure a sizable voter turnout. But if the charter commission needs more time, she said, Durham could always hold a referendum later.

Durham should be commended recycling ordinance, which should deter residents from discarding recyclables.

However, these incentives must be modified to reach University students as well

for its new

the end of the 21st century, the city of Durham should not be cleaning up garbage left over from its beginning.

Hopefully, a new city ordinance that imposes fines when recyclables are left in the trash will prevent this depressingly plausible scenario from becoming reality.

Beginning Jan. 1, the provision allows the city to collect fines whenever it discovers newspapers, glass, aluminum cans, cardboard and steel cans in the trash. Durham already provides recycling bins for its occupants, and this penalty is designed to encourage people to use them.

Although the city plans to give its residents some time to ease into the new law before seriously cracking down, Durham officials seem committed to this environmental initiative—and rightfully so. The physical health of the local community is largely dependent on altering its trash-producing mindframe. Compared to many West Coast communities, Durham is relatively indifferent to recycling.

As proven by these more recycling-conscious cities, monetary punishment creates an immediate incentive to self-monitor and recycle.

By enforcing these penalties, the city can ensure that eventually, recycling will become second nature to its residents.

Assuming this ordinance is enforced effectively and consistently, it has the potential to be more than just an annoyance to city and University residents. By penalizing the people and institutions that disregard environmental concerns, the ordinance will change the local culture from one of apathy to one of action.

The logic is simple: As people become increasingly aware of financial repercussions associated with producing solid waste, they will necessarily become more aware of the sheer amount of waste they produce. Repeated enough, the behavior will become ingrained in the culture.

But this effect could be lost on individual students. Although the University is passing the cost of potential fines down to most departments, Housing Management is planning to absorb the price in the dormitories. Students must be held directly responsible for putting recyclables in the trash, or they will not change their behavior.

The University’s campus might be leafy, but the culture is certainly not green; the city has handed Duke the opportunity to change that. Whether success translates to fining living groups for their post-party garbage or penalizing specific departments for consistently careless disposal, the University must alter this community’s overwhelming nonchalance about recycling by passing on the incentive structure presented by Durham’s plan.

I woke up feeling WASHINGTON intensely guilty.

When I was young, I used to go into a dark box at church and confess all kinds of guilt: about talking back to my parents, about unkindnesses and about impure thoughts.

But now I feel guilty about just one thing: not being a millionaire. On the glowing boxes of my adulthood—the television and computer_people are constantly getting rich quickly.

When Time Warner merged with America Online, some predicted the end of print, and my life passed before my eyes. But I was far more disturbed that I had lost yet another

Age. But now the only remorse that people feel about money is why haven’t they made more?

“Once, new money tried to disguise itself as old money,” says Michael Lewis, who wrote The New New Thing, about a Silicon Valley billionaire. “It gave some of itself away. It dressed itself up in airs and pretensions. Now old money cringes in the face of new money.

Now even new money gets stale fast, and has a sell-by date.”

We are obsessed about making money with our money.

Making an honest living does not seem like a particularly sensible thing to do anymore when you can simply hold onto a stock that rises to the stratosphere.

“I have never seen so many disgruntled people at the peak of a bull market,” says James Stewart, the author of Den ofThieves about the Wall Street scandals of the ’Bos, 7 WTT who is now an editor W017167

The importance of setting goals

Living life with Puff Daddy

|A Strand in /:

Ron Jeremy

j the Web Heather Morris

Dana Vachon In great fear of disciplinary action, I am using my first column in The Chronicle to apologize to the Duke community for my actions on the night of Dec. 27,1999, My legal team tells me that I am looking at jail time. In preparation for the big house, I have bought five to 10 years worth of soap-on-a-rope. The last thing I need is to be expelled from the University, and so I tell my story here. I hope to vindicate Puff Daddy, the voluptuous Jennifer Lopez and myself with this explanation.

In the past, Puffy and I have always been “tight,” although I wouldn’t say that we are “down like that” anymore—at least not after the shooting that occurred over winter break at Club New York. I aim to relate the events of that fateful evening, as they occurred, to the best of my abilities.

A couple of “suckas” were “fixin’ to lay it down” on Jennifer, who is Puff’s “honey.” This caused him great consternation. He went over to them and said the equivalent of, “Hello gentlemen, is there a problem?” However, they insisted that he was “frontin’.”

...all of a sudden they began to talk about food, calling me a “cracker” and asking if I had any “beef.

Sticking up for my boy Puff, I called these rather coarse fellows “playa’ haters.” This is a term that I have picked up from Puffy—an insult, I imagine.

They must have been on drugs, because all of a sudden they began to talk about food, calling me a “cracker” and asking if I had any “beef.” This is when things took a turn for the worse.

We had been to a steakhouse for dinner. I ordered, but did not finish, a beautiful cut of filet mignon.

After dinner, I it put in a doggy bag and placed it in my coat pocket.

“Why yes!” I said to the gentlemen, “I do have beef!” I reached for my doggy bag, thinking that perhaps they were hungry, and we could settle the dispute with a shared snack. If only I had known at the time that “beef’ is slang for a dispute or argument. The men thought that I was reaching for something called a “glock” with which to “cap” them. They then pulled their own “glocks,” intent upon “capping” me.

Not wanting to have any role in this capping, I called upon Puffy’s bodyguard. He too had a glock, and I think he carried it for the same general capping purposes as everyone else in the club that night who was “packing heat,” real or imagined.

Soon there were gunshots, and the “po-pos” (which is slang for “law enforcement agents”) were on the scene.

I should now inform my readers of the little known fact that Jennifer Lopez is madly in love with me. When the cops arrived, she whispered in my ear, “Let’s tell the police that Puffy shot someone. That way he will go to jail, and then I will be free to make passionate love to you for extended periods of time.

You are the ultimate aphrodisiac Dana, so charming and witty, and I love that you still live with your parents. You are kind to animals, too,” Seeing as I could find no flaw with her arguments, we made for the car. Puffy saw our exit though, and he quickly caught up with us. The next thing I knew, we were all speeding away, and after running in excess of 12 stop lights, we were arrested.

I say throw the book at Puffy. His music was lame anyway. But free me to live and love with my Jennifer, as she is very hot. Thank you for your time.

As I begin my last semester in college, I have been thinking about the ways my life may be different a year from now, and about the differences between college and “the real world” in general. After all, where else is 2 a.m. considered to be a reasonable bedtime? In most environments, noodles macaroni and and cheese aren’t thought of as

importance is really in making the plans.

I do realize when I am making plans that I haven’t done well with the task in the past. Last week, as I said good-bye to friends at home, I promised to e-mail them more frequently, but I also acknowledged that it might not happen. I say this at the beginning of every semester, and the improvement never seems to come. But I think that even though I admitted the likely failure of the plan, it was important to set the goal.

It is vitally important that we

In many places, the work ends—instead of begin-

ning—when one comes home for the day. In the real world, time isn’t measured in semesters—this is peculiar to students.

As I was getting ready to start the new semester, I realized some of the benefits that this division of time brings for students. Twice a year, we get to start over with a blank slate. It is not as if past work doesn’t matter —grade point averages are cumulative—but it is a time to begin anew.

plish it may allow us to realize what we are doing wrong, so we can improve and succeed the next time.

New Year’s resolutions are the same thing. How many people do you know who have the same resolution every year with the clause, “but this year I am really going to do it.” It is nice to have beginnings—of semesters, of years, of centuries and of millenniums. They are a chance to say, “I am going to make a break with the past. I am going to start over and this time I will be better.”

These beginnings give us the impe-

tus to dream big. Sometimes they give us the courage to dare to start, or to try again. So what if you failed before? After all, it is a new year. It is a new semester. This time it’s going to be different (“sure it is” says the cynical voice inside our heads.)

Well, it might be. It can be. You can have a new beginning any time you want—some just come ready-made for you. And in college, well, it’s one of those benefits you get—two free beginnings every year!

Heather Morris is a Trinity senior.

Anything could happen. This semester I could get straight As. I might finally become completely organized, or maybe I will start going to the gym, like I always say I will.

Near the start of every semester, I plan how I will do things differently, as I am sure many people do. For the past several semesters, I have vowed to start exercising.

It has never happened, but I mean

well. There are some plans that don’t get carried out, but the

Why we watch

invest so much emotional energy into sports?

Certainly there are less painful and more productive things we could be doing with our time. A simple glance at the format reveals that they are a losing proposition—only one team per sport and one group of fans can finish the year truly satisfied. Look at last year’s Blue Devil basketball team: 37 and 2, yet all people talk about is the one that got away.

Are sports fans just gluttons for punishment?

I don’t think so—even in defeat, the benefits of being a sports fan far outweigh the drawbacks.

For example, when I returned home at the end of last summer I found hundreds of “No Goal” bumper stickers on the cars of western New York. Although they were somewhat pathetic, I was impressed with the show of solidarity. There were more bumper stickers over a hockey game than those for mayor, Senate or any other elected office.

Nothing builds communities like pride in the local sports teams. They provide wonderful topics for conversations in front of water coolers and television sets across the country.

They give us a common experience in a time when the American experience is difficult to pinpoint. For example, look at the University. Many things drive us apart—greek vs. independent, upperclassman vs. freshman, white vs. black—but everyone can crowd into Cameron Indoor Stadium and root, root, root for

Column as I see ’em Norm Bradley I’m from Buffalo, so I should be used to losing by now.

You may have seen the “Music City Miracle” last Saturday. After Steve Christie valiantly booted a 41yard field goal to give the Buffalo Bills a 16-15 lead over the Tennessee Titans, Frank Wycheck threw a questionable pass to Kevin Dyson on the ensuing kickoff return. Dyson returned the ball 75 yards for a touchdown. Unfortunately, the referees ruled that the throw was indeed a lateral and that the play stood, ripping open the hearts of the good people of Buffalo just one more time.

Sometimes, I think my teams have lost in every conceivable way, but Saturday reminded me that Buffalo teams always find creative ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Brett Hull camped in

the goalie’s crease as he slid the puck past Dominic Hasek in game six of the Stanley Cup Finals last summer. Scott Norwood pushing a 47-yard field goal wide right in the first of the Bills’ four Super Bowl losses. I came to college hoping to escape the curse, and Duke loses the national championship game in basketball.

“My” teams have away of failing only after convincing me of their invincibility. They perpetually appear destined for greatness but are doomed to fall short just when 1 start believing this -team? is different;.

Why do I—arid riiillioriis of sports fans like me—

sports

the home team.

So I’ll continue to watch sports, even if they give me a heart attack. Just don’t try to convince me that the pass was a lateral.

the Couches, Maria Sperando, who the Supreme Court said engaged in grossly improper conduct when she characterized attorneys for Duke as “liars.” Another is whether a co-defendant who was dismissed from the lawsuit can recover his legal expenses from the plaintiffs, Maxwell said.

Academic Council schedules special meeting:

The Academic Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday Jan. 18 to discuss a recent user survey of Duke Managed Care. Vice President for Human Resources Clint Davidson and representatives from the firm that conducted the survey will address the council at the 3:45 p.m. meeting in 139 Social Sciences Building. Representatives from the Faculty Compensation Committee will also speak.

The survey gathered information from physicians and consumers about the performance of the managed care plan. The meeting, which is open to non-council members, was called because there would not be time for discussion during the regularly scheduled Jan. 20 council meeting.

Keohane discusses role of women: President Nan Keohane joined a group of leading female academic, political and business leaders in an online discussion about trends in their fields and the role of women in the next century.

In her Dec. 27 comments, which are available at m, Keohane discussed the advantages and disadvan-

tages of Internet technology for higher education. She also speculated on what academic careers will look like in the future. “Women will need to overcome the perception that we are not well-suited to certain kinds of study and particular professions, especially in the sciences and engineering,” she said.

Included in the discussions were Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, U.S. Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif. and Joan Brown Campbell, general secretary of the National Council of Churches.

Even on an individual department basis, many graduate and professional students said they were dissatisfied with their current University experiences.

For example, medical student Brian Ruiz deLuzuriaga said there is no space for changing into scrubs near the gross anatomy lab in the Bell Building—an area that every medical student uses eventually.

“Basically, everyone just has to cram into small bathrooms or unoccupied classrooms in order to change,” said Ruiz de Luzuriaga, a GPSC representative. ‘There are already lockers in the hallway outside of the lab, but the problem is that the regular employees in the Bell Building don’t much appreciate a bunch of students stripping down in the hallway.”

Medical student Lauretta Bucher said that even the locker space is inadequate.

“We have to share lockers with two or three other people, and they’re tiny, not even big enough to fit a decent sized book bag...,” Bucher said.

Rami Zheman contributed to this story.

GPSC representative Katrina Oie, a graduate student in the department of microbiology, works in the Jones Building and says she has a hard time finding a place to use for reading journal articles.

“I find when I have to do a lot of reading, that it’s nice to have more comfortable seating, like a couch,” she said. “Also, this may sound petty, but places like [the Jones Building! library or the [Medical Centerl library are just too cold for me.

Presidential candidates emphasize lower grade levels PRIMARIES from page

higher education, as they have Concentrated on proposals for improving the nation’s schools and teachers.

In addition to his plans for expanding preschool, Democratic Vice President A1 Gore has probably come forward with the most concrete proposals on higher education.

Gore has supported several popular initiatives, including a “national tuition savings program,”

which would attempt to combine many state financial aid programs that help students save tax-free money for college.

Like many other candidates, Gore has also proposed expanding tuition tax credits and education savings accounts, modeled after those used for retirement. For his efforts, Gore was endorsed last fall by the American Federation of Teachers, the country’s largest teachers’ union.

“We believe that as we enter into the information age, we should make education a national priority,” said Chris Lehane, a press secretary for Gore. When asked to respond to claims by former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley that education is primarily a state issue, Lehane referred to the building of interstate highways in the 19505. “Many people called highways a state issue, but the role of the federal government was very important in creating that infrastructure,” Lehane said.

Bradley said in last Wednesday’s Democratic debate that the government should be working on “big things and big ambitions,” and his list of these items does not include any major proposals for higher education. The lone higher education proposal that Bradley, Gore’s main rival for the Democratic nomination, has made is a $2 billion grant to improve technology at community colleges.

“I don’t think [higher education] is a very important issue, especially compared to health care,” said Meghan Deumbar, a student at James Madison University and Bradley supporter. Deumbar, who attended the post-debate Bradley rally, added that any involvement by the federal government in higher education is inappropriate because many universities are run by states.

Sarah Donahue, a student at Stonehill College and a Gore supporter, disagreed. “Gore has the right idea, because the state of New Hampshire is giving no aid right now. I just don’t think you can rely on local gov-

ernment anymore,” said Donahue, who attended the post-debate Gore rally.

In contrast to the Democrats, the leading Republican candidates are largely in agreement on education policy. As a result, the issue did not come up in last Thursday’s Republican debate, an omission that Ari Fleischer, an aide to Gov. George W. Bush of Texas, called “disappointing.”

Bush, the national front-runner for the Republican nomination, has been cautious on the topic of higher education and has focused instead on elementary education. He has stated his support for the popular education savings accounts, which are also supported by Arizona Sen. John McCain and publisher Steve Forbes.

Like his fellow Republicans, Bush has denounced the use of quotas and affirmative action programs in college admissions. However, Bush has proposed expanding a program in Texas in which the top 10 percent of graduates from each high school automatically receive admission to a main state university.

Although cautious in proposing new initiatives, McCain has touted his record in the US. Senate of supporting tax credits for tuition, supporting Pell grants and proposing to expand education savings accounts.

While McCain’s record shows strong support for financial aid programs, his record on research funding is less clear. In 1991, he co-sponsored a bill that would

have required the Department of Defense to offer more research grants to the nation’s engineering schools.

However, in 1997, McCain proposed eliminating a $2 billion incentive program that the government was using to keep medical schools from graduating too many doctors. The program, which the senator likened to crop subsidies that pay farmers to not grow certain crops, was a large source of funding for medical schools.

Forbes supports both tuition tax credits and education savings accounts, but some of his other proposals have generated controversy within the higher education community. The candidate has made as the center of his campaign a proposal for a flat tax, under which all income would be taxed at the same rate. The proposal would also eliminate almost all deductions.

During Forbes’ 1996 run for the presidency, many college presidents and professors worried that eliminating deductions for charitable giving would hurt do-

nations to their institutions. Charles Clotfelter, a professor of public policy studies and economics at Duke, estimated at that time that gifts to colleges would fall by 18 to 38 percent. Forbes has responded that a flat tax would generate more economic activity, thereby increasing incomes and charitable giving.

Forbes also drew criticism last fall for his role on the board of trustees at Princeton University, his alma mater. When Princeton hired Peter Singer as a professor ofbioethics in its Center for Human Values, Forbes used his seat on the board to protest the appointment, citing Singer’s support for the euthanasia of severely disabled newborns. Forbes’ call for Singer to be fired was labeled as an attack on academic freedom by many Princeton professors and the chairman of the board of trustees. Forbes defended himself by comparing Singer to doctors who worked at Nazi concentration camps.

The women’s basketball team rang in their first games of the new year with rousing success. While the student body continued its winter vacation, the Blue Devils (14-1, 3-0 in the ACC) have been on the road posting solid numbers against ACC foes Maryland and Georgia Tech.

No. 11 Duke hopes to continue its run tonight as it battles Wake Forest (5-9, 1-2 in the ACC) at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Duke has had great success in the past against the Demon Deacons and one has to go back to 1993 to find the last time Wake Forest managed to defeat the Blue Devils.

Since 1993, Duke has risen to higher success while Wake Forest has often struggled. Yet Duke coach Gail Goestenkors knows not to take any team lightly, especially when that team has been doing some interesting See WAKE on page 30

Hornets guard Phills dies in automobile crash in Charlotte Bobby Phills, 30, died instantly when his Porsche collided with a minivan as he drove away from a team shoot-around.

By PAUL NOWELL Associated Press

CHARLOTTE Charlotte Hornets guard Bobby Phills was speeding in his Porsche after practice yesterday when he lost control, crashed into a car and died instantly.

Stunned and tearful teammates and Hornets officials gathered at the accident scene less than a mile from the Charlotte Coliseum, where minutes earlier Phills and the other players had been practicing for last night’s game with the Chicago Bulls. The

game was postponed.

Phills, 30, was traveling at a “very high rate of speed” when he collided with a car headed toward the coliseum, police spokesman Keith Bridges said. A minivan rear-ended the other car. Two people in those vehicles were hospitalized.

Witnesses said teammate David Wesley, the Hornets’ starting point guard, also may have been driving too fast in his own Porsche, according to police. Wesley’s car wasn’t involved in the accident, and he was questioned at the scene.

Bridges said it will be at least several days before investigators reconstruct what happened.

Phills lost control on a hilly curve where the posted speed was 45 mph, said Capt. L.E. Blydenburgh, the crash investigator. “The skid marks

indicate he was not going in a straight line.”

Phills’ car, with the vanity plate “SLAMN,” left skid marks several hundred feet long and came to rest in one of the opposite lanes, Bridges said.

Firefighters had to cut his body from the wreckage.

Listed in stable condition at Presbyterian Hospital were Robert Woolard Jr., 31, of Cornelius, the driver of the other car; and Yao Agbegbon, 33, of Charlotte, who was driving a minivan taxi, Bridges said.

“This is the ultimate tragedy, and our immediate thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kendall, children and family,” Hornets owner George Shinn said in a statement. “Not only was Bobby a tremendous person, but a great husband, father and role model that everyone respected and admired. He was someone that you would want your children to be like.”

Phills, a 6-foot-5 defensive stopper and a team leader, started often at shooting guard or small forward for the Hornets and sometimes played reserve.

He joined the Hornets in 1997 after six years with Cleveland and was in the third year of a seven-year, $33 million contract. Entering the season,

averaged 10.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists a game for his career. He was fourth on the team in scoring this season.

Cavaliers president Wayne Embry gave Phills his start in the NBA by signing the guard to a 10-day contract.

“Bobby Phills was all that you would want in a human being,” Embry said.

“He had extreme high character. A family man. I can’t tell you what he meant to the Cavs. If there’s a person you would want your children to be, a role model, it’s Bobby Phills.”

Active in the community, Phills volunteered for children’s charities and related organizations. In 1998, he was one of four finalists for the NBA’s Sportsmanship Award and started the “Bobby Phills Educational Foundation.”

“He touched all of our lives,” said Bob Bass, the Hornets’ executive vice president of basketball operations.

NBA commissioner David Stern said Phills was “a caring member of the community.”

“Bobby Phills represented the very best of the NBA,” he said.

Phills earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Southern University. Ben Jobe, Phills’ former coach at Southern, said yesterday he tried to steer Phills away from the NBA. Phills

“He could have been one of the foremost black leaders in the country,” Jobe said. “He had the brain power, he had the great family background. He had everything. For years, I tried to get him to go on to med school like he talked about when he was a kid.”

Clay Moser, an assistant coach when Phills played for the CBA’s Sioux Falls Skyforce, said Phills had wanted to be a veterinarian.

“He was a very in-depth person and just a treasure to be around,” he said.

Phills’ death was another in a series of shocks to hit North Carolina sports in

recent months.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Steve Chiasson died in May when his pickup truck crashed outside Raleigh.

Police said he was driving drunk.

Former Carolina Panthers receiver Rae Carruth was charged with killing his girlfriend in November and could be sentenced to die if convicted of murder and conspiracy charges.

Shinn was sued by a woman who claimed he sexually assaulted her. A Columbia, S.C., jury found in his favor in December In October, Hornets guard Eldridge Recasner suffered a broken shoulder and a collapsed lung and teammate Derrick Coleman was charged with drunken driving in a traffic accident.

According to the NBA, there have been three other active players who were killed in accidents: Drazen Petrovic (1993) and Terry Furlow (1980) in car crashes and Nick Vanos (1987) in an air crash.

Williams’ fierce ball pressure rattles Akins into 4 turnovers DEFENSE from page 25 news. But it’s not often—once in the last five years, to be exact—that the Blue Devils have given up 100 points in a game, as they did to Virginia in overtime a week earlier.

“Fd never been on a team here that gave up 100 points,” said senior Chris Carrawell. “Coach was saying we’re not going to win games giving up that many points. It’s not Duke basketball.”

In the two contests since the triple-digit night in Charlottesville, the Blue Devils have held their opponents to 34-percent shooting. Last night, they forced ®

the Yellow Jackets, who had been averaging nearly nine three-pointers a game, to go 2-for-15 from behind the arc.

“I thought it was our best defensive effort so far,” Krzyzewski said. “We concentrated on their threepoint shooting; it was a real point of emphasis. We had a sense of urgency. Our perimeter players put pressure on them and stopped their open looks. It was the first time all year I felt that for all of a ballgame, our kids played with a sense of urgency.”

Duke didn’t exactly shut down Georgia Tech’s big men—twin towers Jason Collier and Alvin Jones totaled 14-of-25 shooting and 26 boards, 11 on the offensive glass. But as long as their teammates misfired from the perimeter, it didn’t seem to matter how many times Collier or Jones rebounded their bricks.

Georgia Tech’s starting guards, Tony Akins and Shaun Fein, had been averaging five treys a game between them. But they went a combined 0-for-8 from long range last night, and the Blue Devils came away with a 25-point victory.

Akins might have watched the UVa game and

hoped to feast on Jason Williams as the Cavaliers’ Donald Hand did. Instead, Williams forced Akins into his share of rushed or off-balance jumpers.

“Jason’s pressure on the ball was outstanding all

game,” Krzyzewski said. “He had discipline; he wasn’t trying to steal the ball every time.... He was able to keep his feet under him and stay down. And he didn’t let what was happening offensively affect him defensively.”

Williams struggled on offense for the third straight game, missing 10-of-13 shots. But as the point guard matures, his inaccuracy is no longer harming his defense—or his sense of humor.

“I came out today and missed a shot,” he said, “and I thought, ‘So what else is new?”’

In fact, Williams’ offensive struggles have taught him a little about how to play ACC defense. Over winter Break, he put up some gaudy offensive numbers against three overmatched opponents. But then ACC season started, and the bumps and elbows that were called fouls in the non-conference blowouts suddenly stopped meriting a whistle.

After a while, Williams decided to push back; last night, his physical play frustrated Akins all game.

Like the rest of the team, the point guard discovered that a tough outing offensively is a lot more fun when the other team’s missing more than you.

“Even though we didn’t shoot well,” Carrawell said, “we were able to win with our defense.”

For most of the first half, it looked like both teams were involved with Habitat for Humanity, as they threw up one brick after another. A 19-10 Duke run turned a fourpoint deficit into a five-point halftime lead.

Second Half Analysis Apparently, every Tech player got some jump-shooting tips from Alvin Jones at halftime. The Jackets shot a hideous 29 percent from the field in the half, allowing Duke to pull away.

vs

Duke has a clear advantage with Browne, Rice and a healthy Parent back from a calf injury. Kirkpatrick has been an aggressive presence on the court and should pose the toughest threat. Robinson is strong both offensively and defensively, and the matchup between her and Rice or Browne should be a stellar one.

Again, Duke has a solid advantage with Schweitzer and Gingrich. The stronger Demon Deacon to watch will be Whiteside, who is a streaky three-point shooter. But Schweitzer has been making an early case for ACC player of the year honors while Gingrich has rebounded after an injury-riddled start.

When it comes to reinforcements, Wake Forest sets aside its best. Senior Alisha Mosely leads the Demon Deacons with 17 three-pointers and 9.8 points per game. But freshmen Sheana Mosch and Michele ' Matyasovsky should provide Duke a wealth of talent to pull from deep into the game.

The home team’s advantage is always a boost, but the spirit of the game in Cameron is always greater for the Blue Devils. And more rueful for the Demon Deacons, their 1998-99 leading scorer, Olivia Dardy, is still seeing limited time on the court due to a foot injury earlier in the season.

m

The humiliation factor in losing to Coastal Carolina may give Wake Forest extra incentive to play hard in Cameron tonight. Despite a sense that their team is slowly improving, it’s hard to find a situation where the Demon Deacons can stop Duke’s juggernaut. Every game gives Duke more momentum to upset N.C.

aulk beats out Warner for AP Offensive Player of the Year From wire reports

The Marshall Plan couldn’t have

worked any better.

When the St. Louis Rams acquired running back Marshall Faulk from Indianapolis last April, it was with the intention of building their offense around him. That offense became prolific, and catapulted Faulk to The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year award,

announced yesterday.

Faulk became only the second player in league history to gain 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 receiving in the same season. He ran 253 times for 1,381 yards and seven touchdowns, and had 87 receptions for 1,048 yards and five TDs. The combined yardage of 2,429 was an NFL record, breaking Barry Sanders’ mark of 2,358.

“That’s cool,” said Faulk, who became

the Rams’ second individual award winner for the 1999 season. Quarterback Kurt Warner was voted the NFL Most Valuable Player last week.

“It’s great to be recognized,” Faulk said. “Not everyone can.

“But we all deserve something. To put up the numbers we did and do what we did is special.”
