tions created a third straight day of waiting and tough decisions for administrators Thursday. In the end, they decided to send students and professors back to their normal schedules Friday, with the hopes that Thursday night’s temperatures would not refreeze roads and walkways. The severe weather policy remains in effect Friday for first-shift employees. “I think the roads are still a little tough. There’s some ice and they’re likely to freeze over tonight,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, who called the severe weather day. “Anything off the main roads is still pretty treacherous.”
Provost Peter Lange, who decided to resume classes today, said Friday’s light schedule played a large part in his call. He added that unless it snowed again Thursday night, he would not change his mind. “It’s a question of how many people you’re putting on the road,” he said. “We felt after my drive home and Tallman’s drive home, having the number of faculty who have class and the number of graduate and professional students who have class Friday was a reasonable thing.” The provost will announce a class make-up schedule for each of the schools by Monday. Meanwhile, some professors
used e-mail to conduct Thursday’s business, making assignments and clarifying schedules. A few even demanded that papers be turned in over the Internet. See CLASSES on page 7

Clinton’s speech Blue Devils stomp Heels, 101-58 ists year’s goals By VICTOR ZHAO The Chronicle
Call it a first-round TKO for the Blue Devils. The Duke-North Carolina rivalry has always featured bitter slugfests ’till the final whistle, regardless of time, place or records.
� In a grueling, hour-and-a-half State of
the Union address, President Bill Clinton letailed an ambitious agenda for his final year in the White House.
Last night’s contest certainly
By MARC LACEY
N.Y. Times News Service
Delivering his final address to WASHINGTON Congress, President Bill Clinton boasted Thursday light that the state of the union had never been better md proposed using some ofthe nation’s wealth to provide modest tax relief for lower- and middle-income Americans, particularly married ones. “Our economic revolution has been matched by a revival of the American spirit,”Clinton said pumping his fists for emphasis. “Crime down by 20 percent, to its lowest level in 25 years. Teen births down seven years in a row, and adoptions up by 30 percent. Welfare rolls cut in half to their lowest levels in 30 years. My fellow Americans, the state of our union is the strongest it lias ever been.” As Clinton stepped to the rostrum, the House chamwas crowded, as always, although the entire berSupreme Court was puzzlingly absent, some without my stated reason. But the drama of his address a year igo, delivered on the eve of his impeachment trial, was ?one. Instead, Clinton’s main adversary was the calendar, which shows less than a year to go until his successor’s proposals are the ones that matter. With Vice President A1 Gore seated behind his right shoulder and Hillary Rodham Clinton in the balcony ibove, Clinton did much to try to help their political forces and the effort of other Democrats to take back the douse from the Republicans who had impeached him. So packed full of proposals was the speech that it lasted 89 minutes, breaking Clinton’s record of 81 minutes, ■vhich he set in 1995’s speech. The president also received uore than 100 ovations, far more than he has received in my of his seven previous State of the Union addresses.

wasn’t one of them. In a rout of historic proportions, the women’s basketball team (18-2, 7-1 in the ACC) trounced North Carolina (10-9, 26) 101-58 last night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The 43-point margin of victory was easily the most lopsided win for Duke in its series history against North Car-
olina and the worst loss for the Tar Heels in nearly a decade. “I’m justreal proud of the team,” Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Obviously we were very focused and ready to play. Tonight, we played a great game. It was the most complete game we’ve played,
offensively and defensively.” Peppi Browne set the tone early for the Blue Devils, blowing past UNC star LaQuanda Barksdale on the game’s opening possession for a layup; and her teammates quickly followed suit. Before the Tar Heels could even gather themselves, the Blue Devils had roared out to a 30-8 lead behind a 15-of-21 shooting performance in the game’s first 12 minutes. Browne and reserve Sheana Mosch each contributed six points to the opening blitz. “I’m satisfied we came away with this win,” forward Lauren Rice said. “I’m a little shocked at how

GOP criticizes Clinton’s proposals Leading Republicans called the president’s agenda fiscally irresponsible By ERIC SCHMITT

seized on details that seeped out during the day to warn voters that Democrats could not be trusted to
oversee the nation’s prosperity and the federal budget surpluses that have accompanied it. “I suspect that if you listen carefully, what you’ll hear is a litany of spending,” Gov. George Bush of Texas, the Republican presidential front-runner, told a Chamber ofCommerce breakfast in Nashua, N.H. “If the past is any judge of today, it is going to be spending after spending after spending, which proves my point. If there is money left in Washington, it is going to be spent.” House Speaker Dennis Hastert,
expressing amazement at proposed
initiatives that range from a $5O million plan to clean up the Great Lakes to $2O million to fight infectious diseases, said: “As Washington digs out ofthe latest winter blizzard, the Congress will dig out of an avalanche of presidential spending initiatives. We will sift through the president’s requests and make a determination what is necessary and what is not.” Thursday night’s reaction from Republicans previewed the year-long battle between the two parties over how best to use the trillions of dollars in projected surpluses—already a core theme on the campaign trail.

Snow may limit restaurants’ hours this weekend By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

Students who have overdosed on fast food said they are not particularly pleased with the weekend selection. “I like McDonald’s; I like the Armadillo. But I don’t think I could eat that for the entire weekend,” said Pratt sophomore Dave Alspector, adding that he would likely depend on deliveries. “If they’re still willing to drive, I’ll tip the drivers well.” Wulforst said all Merchants-onPoints vendors will deliver Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Even students with kitchens are having some trouble preparing their own meals—grocery stores have been crowded and are out of some bare essentials like bread and milk.

Students willing to brave the icy roads will be able to fill their stomachs at local establishments.

Medical Center officials push for federal oversight agency By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle
Eight months after the Medical Center was forced to halt its human research projects because of its failure to meet government regulations, Duke’s top officials have begun calling for a national restructuring of current oversight mechanisms. In an article in today’s Science magazine, Chancellor for Health Affairs Dr. Ralph Snyderman and medical school dean Dr. Edward Holmes recommended the creation of one well-funded agency to oversee all clinical human subject research. Tt is our view that regulatory and compliance mechanisms are overly complex, difficult to interpret, and, at times, redundant or inefficient...,” they wrote. “The goal should be an effective, simplified system that is understandable, that works and that is adaptable to change.” Both were traveling Thursday and unavailable for further comment. In their article, Holmes and Snyderman outlined the complicated and outdated nature of clinical research regulations. The two officials contend that the Office for
Protection from Research Risks, a government arm established in 1972, has failed to keep up with the expanding needs of medical institutions nationwide. “[1972 was] a time when most clinical research studies were conducted by individual or small groups of investigators dealing with small groups of subjects,” they wrote. The co-authors recommended “a comprehensive and broadly based review of federal regulations to protect human subjects, with the goal of creating a single set of
effective federal regulations.” The recommendations about streamlining come from
IRBs receive ongoing accreditation to avoid confusion about the intent of federal guidelines. “Well-meaning individuals and institutions may interpret regulations differently,” they wrote. They want institutions to obtain prospective approval of their IRB procedures and certification of their members so they would have a clearer understanding of regulations before being reviewed. Given the complexity and volume ofresearch studies at major medical centers like Duke, Snyderman and Holmes recommended that the cost of time faculty spend serving on IRBs be included in all grant funding.
Snyderman and Holmes’ recommendations come from the authors’ perception that clinical research is overregulated at various stages. their first-hand experience with the federal government’s The officials used a clinical trial funded by the Na- regulatory power.

N.C. begins to recover from surprise monster snowstorm By PAUL NOWELL Associated Press
Emboldened by sunshine and imTROY, N.C. proving roads, North Carolinians, still amazed by this week’s two-foot snowstorm that caught everyone flatfooted, dug out their cars Thursday and began replenishing empty pantries. Making her first grocery shopping foray Thursday since Monday’s storm,Ann Long recalled how the falling snow first looked beautiful in her Montgomery County community. “But then it started to look a little like a monster.... And I thought it’s amazing how fast something that is so pretty can turn into something so ugly.”
The storm, the fourth to hit North Carolina in a week, developed with little warning late Monday night, dumping a record 20.3 inches at RaleighDurham International Airport and up to 2 feet in Montgomery County. It closed schools and businesses, turned highways into slaloms and sent people in a mad scramble for boots, gloves and snow shovels. With temperatures still hovering around freezing Thursday, some of the snow melted, but the going remained slow, and another storm was on the horizon Saturday or Sunday. Forecasters were unsure whether it would bring snow, ice, rain or a combination. More than 60,000 homes and businesses statewide
remained without electricity Thursday—about 40,000 located in a swath from Southern Pines and Moore County to Union County east of Charlotte. Most schools and businesses remained closed from Monroe, just north of the South Carolina line, to Henderson, just south of the Virginia border. Many government offices also didn’t open Thursday. Ten shelters were set up in Anson, Moore and Montgomery counties, where strong winds and freezing rain at the storm’s outset snapped pine trees and uprooted hardwoods. Much of region remained without electricity Thursday. See

Students brace for falls with traction, extra caution, luck �SPILLS AND THRILLS from page 4 she’s fallen once and seen at least two other people wipe out on the ice. “I’m going a lot slower. I feel like a threeyear-old,” she said. “And I haven’t got any boots—just tennis shoes—so I’m all over the place.” Shannon Dooley, a Trinity sophomore, said she is wearing shoes with greater traction and taking paths that have been cleared. “[I heard that! in Edens, someone fell and broke their ankle and then someone cracked their jaw,” Dooley said. But she added that
she’s satisfied with the ice and snow removal so far. “They’re doing the best they can considering there’s a sheet of ice over everything.” To prevent further spills from occurring, Sparacino advised people to take it slower and to stay close to the banisters on stairways. “I’ve found it’s better to walk where there’s snow than on the sidewalk where you think they’ve cleared it,” she said. But she added that even with precautions, some falls are inevitable. “We just have falls, and there’s not a lot you can do.”

The council cannot legally deny the Sons of Confederate Veterans’ request to add their logo, a city attorney advised council members last week.
The local Sons has tried to get permission to add its logo—which bears the Confederate battle flag—to Hickory’s welcome signs since 1997. Council members have denied the request, saying the welcome signs are too crowded. Numerous organizations are observing a boycott of South Carolina to protest the Confederate flag flying over the state capitol.
Burke County supports displaying Ten Commandments; Burke
County joined a growing number of North Carolina counties that support
posting the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. County commissioners unanimously approved a resolution last week requesting that state and federal lawmakers enact legislation allowing them to display the Ten Commandments. Rutherford County was one of the first in North Carolina to ask for the right to post the Ten Commandments; since then, 19 counties have approved resolutions in support of the idea. Burke County commissioners approved the measure despite legal advice from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners and the
North Carolina School Boards Association, who said posting the Ten Commandments would violate the First Amendment.
A legal brief from the two organizations pointed out that the U.S. Supreme Court has already struck down a similar Kentucky statute. The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a bill that would mandate posting the Ten Commandments in schools, but officials said the bill is probably unpassable.

Storm reminds N.C. residents of Hugo from page 4
Raleigh-Durham International Airport resumed operations Thursday afternoon after being shut down for two days. A limited flight schedule was planned Friday, said spokesperson Mike Blanton. By Thursday afternoon, trees had been cut away from major roads, but some rural roads remained impassable. The scene reminded many residents of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. “But Hugo hit in September and it wasn’t cold,” said A1 Scarborough, a hardware store owner in Anson County. “We don’t have any electricity. We’re hoping that we will have some this afternoon. Everyone is desperate for something that will produce heat.” The power outages knocked out part of Anson County Hospital’s water supply. For a time, workers shoveled snow into 55-gallon barrels to melt into water to feed their heater boilers.
The Labyrinth
On Thursday, the National Guard brought pumper trucks to feed the boilers. Dr. Fred Thompson, the hospital’s CEO, said the 30bed hospital and adjacent 66-bed nursing home had enough drinking water, but the outage meant no water to flush toilets or run X-ray machines. New admissions were being diverted to Charlotte hospitals. “The emergency room looks like a MASH unit,” Thompson said. While the sunny skies helped thaw roads Thursday, even interstates had icy patches. Truckers and other travelers grumbled about the state’s road-clearing efforts, but state officials said they were doing their best. “People have asked why we aren’t better prepared for winter weather,” Tom Hegele, a spokesman for State Emergency Response Team, said Thursday. “This isn’t Buffalo, N.Y., or upper Minnesota. Twenty inches of snow? When was the last time we saw anything like that in Raleigh, N.C.?”
get 4th snow day CLASSES from page 1 Lange and Trask waited most of the day for word on road conditions and overnight forecasts from the Duke University Police Department and the state highway patrol before making plans for Friday.
The two administrators have coordinated their decisions for most of the week, with Trask first deciding to call severe weather days and Lange following with canceled classes. “I think in general if roads aren’t safe, you don’t want anyone on them,” Trask said of the de-
cisions’ congruence. But in a Thursday morning interview, Lange said the pattern would not necessarily hold through the weekend. “We coordinate substantially,” he said. “I’m not saying that different decisions could never be made. The severe policy covers a lot of different people. Depending on the day of the week, classes could involve many fewer.” After driving on some slippery roads, Lange made it to his office from his Orange County home early Thursday morning in time to issue a 10 a.m.
decision to cancel the remainder ofthe day’s classes. The darkness and consistent sub-freezing temperatures continue to make most secondary streets dangerous at night, Lange said. “We didn’t want anybody on the road after dark,” he said. “So you’re talking about putting some people at some riaY for four hours of classes. The latest we would have classes is 4 p.m. For four hours of classes, it was not worth it.” Although there are very few classes scheduled on Fridays, Lange said it was important to get another day of school in this week so that make-up schedules would not get too bogged down. Employees who made it to workThursday spent the day chopping ice on the sidewalks and clearing roads and parking lots. Trask worried, though, that another night’s freeze would make the paths no better than when they started Thursday. “We made the decision [Thursday morningl based on the condition of the roads off campus and of some of the parking lots as well as the pathways,” he said. “We’re working on them right now.

Vital goals
Although
exhausting, President Bill Clinton’s 89-minute State of the Union address laid out an ambitious agenda for this year’s Congress. Coming off a year in which Congress accomplished next to nothing, Clinton called Republicans to task for their failures on a range of issues, including gun control, a patients’ bill ofrights, campaign finance reform and judicial appointments. In his plans for his final year in office, Clinton placed a praiseworthy emphasis on improving the lives ofthe working poor. This concentration comes at a particularly appropriate time in our history. As Clinton stressed early in his speech, America is at a crossroads, with unprecedented prosperity and a federal surplus of approximately $2 trillion expected over the next decade. Rather than pass this money back to the upper classes through massive tax cuts, Clinton’s plans use this prosperity to start solving critical and enduring social and economic inequalities. Clinton’s dedication to the working poor represents a significant shift for politicians. For so long, both parties have concentrated on getting all Americans to work, but now, with unemployment levels at 30-year lows, Clinton appropriately proposed several tangible and feasible steps to make sure all working Americans can provide for their families. Right now, millions of working Americans—supposedly living the American ideal—do not earn enough to escape poverty. In nearly every section ofThursday’s speech, Clinton touched on policies and programs designed to aid the working poor. For example, he advocated raising the minimum wage, bettering child care in lowincome neighborhoods, making higher education more affordable, directing financial aid to poverty-stricken rural and urban areas, giving poor families greater access to technology to “close the digital divide” and improving access to quality health care. The way Republicans acted during Clinton’s speech was profoundly discouraging. Any mention of programs to benefit the working poor were not even acknowledged with polite clapping. Their official response—presented by Senators Susan Collins and Bill Frist—concentrated on health care and education, but didn’t rise to the president’s challenges on these issues. Beyond his concerns about the working poor, Clinton touched on several other important issues—such as increased aid to help Africa fight AIDS, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, hate crimes legislation and increased federal funding for scientific research. The sheer length of the speech and volume of policies mentioned indicate that the president is ready for an active conclusion to his term. However, it remains to be seen how much of his agenda will be accomplished; in this election year, politics and votes will undoubtedly trump legislation at the forefront of every politician’s mind. Clinton should be praised for providing a noble agenda to help the working poor and all Americans. Even if he can’t accomplish everything before his term ends, last night’s address outlines the work that lies before the future leaders ofthis country.

Letters to the Editor
Founding Fathers didn’t support rule by the people Two instances of a grim misconception appeared in The Chronicle this week. They represent a phenomenon that has become endemic in popular thought, namely, the view that America is, or should be, a democracy. The first instance occurred in Monday’s editorial on the flying of the Confederate flag above the South Carolina capitol: “The South Carolina legislature’s

in Cradle Will Rock an outstanding cast crashes headlong into Tim Robbins 9 socialist dogma. The result is a mess. ,
Ahh, Tim Robbins and his overtly politicized movies. His latest, Cradle Will Hock, is a mixed bag about the Depression and government censorship of theatre. Then there are any number of evil capitalist pigs, capitalist patrons of the arts and eccentric and embattled artists, starving and yearning to breathe free. Or something like that. This film is about art. The integrity of the artist. The courage of the artist in the face of censorship, risking his livelihood forTruth. Art as a pawn of Fascism! And finally, the artist as whore. There's also the corporate whore, which Robbins seems to think is far worse than the artistic whore. No new stuff here. If you find any of this particularly compelling, or even entertaining, or you're an activist
just like Tim Robbins, then maybe you'll enjoy this jumble. And even then, I dare you to make sense of it Otherwise it's just boring, despite a stellar ensemble cast. There's a lot of passion in this movie, but it suffers from a lack of a defined focus. Let me try to explain: It's the 19305. America is suffering through the Great Depression, and cutthroat, monopolistic industrialists have all the money. Oil, rubber and steel corporations are selling supplies to Germany and Italy, who are

ness. Then the Workers Protection Act saves everyone, or at least gets people working again and establishes the Federal Theatre. Hooray. Lowcost theatre. What Americans have always wanted. So we have this cheapie government theatre, which is rumored to be harboring artists with Communist sensibilities. The Federal Theatre takes on Marc Biitzstein's (Hank Azaria) labor union musical, Cradle Will Rock, and all is rocky from there. A young Orson Welles (Angus MacFadyen's portrayal consists of lots of yelling and drinking) is hired to direct the controversial piece—if only he'd get over his blustery ego and the drunken squabbling with his foppish British producer, John Houseman (a very puffed-up Cary Elwes). John Turturro and Emily Watson play two struggling actors who are cast in the embattled piece. In the meantime, war is being waged against th T’
like art and politics to mix. Hazel Huffman (Joan Cusack), a lowly FT employee, is determined to testify about the un-American activities she has witnessed. A drunken ventriloquist named Tommy Crickshaw (played hilariously by Bill Murray) supports her case. But what do these two losers know? He's a has-been who talks’through his dummy and thinks that vaudeville will last forever. No wonder he's teaching ventriloquism to two "Commie-pinkos." Then there's the whole corporate whore versus artistic whore subplot. Millionaire Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) hires Mexican painter Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades) to design a mural for Rockefeller Center. Little does he know what Rivera has in mind—among other images, a giant mural including Vladimir Lenin, police brutality, and syphilitic cells Mr. Rockefeller changes his mind and refuses to fund the project, thus infringing on
Or perhaps just on bad taste'. It is HIS building, after all. Probably the worst performance in the entire movie belongs to Susan Sarandon, who seems to have enjoyed hamming it up as an Italian fascist art dealer. I didn't buy her particular brand of prosciutto. Did Robbins even HEAR his girlfriend's attempt at an Italian accent before casting her in his film? As Mussolini's former mistress, she gives Da Vinci paintings to corporate whores to ensure that Benito will have American supplies for his war machine. Robbins's film is ridiculously simplistic in its philosophy. Businessmen are bad fascists who know nothing about art! Artists are pure, honest and full of integrity! Bring on the syphilitic cells!

an immense discount. With this time, SETI accumulates about 35 gigabytes of radio transmission data per day —about twice the size of a hard drive on a typical new desktop computer. The received data is then broken up into small, manageable packets and automatically sent to the more than 1 million users of SETl@home for analysis on their computers. As each packet is completely analyzed, the software returns the information to SETI and downloads a new packet for analysis. Many Duke students are helping SETI in its search. Trinity senior Andrew Elliston has gone through nearly 1,000 such packets over the course of the last year "One of my friends thought I had found aliens," Elliston said, but in fact that was not the case (at least according to SETI). Not only does he contribute at home, but also at work. In fact, sometimes analyzing data can get '..ompetitive—businesses, schools or LOOK OUT JAMES!

"The lab I work in has, like, five or six computers that all run it," Elliston said. "It is sort of a competition between labs." The program searches for exceptionally strong radio signals in the data packets, not just Glos's morning show with Bob and Madison. SETl@home is looking for signals from alien civilizations that were, in theory, intentionally broadcast to be received by projects such as this one. But they're not looking for spaceships.

What about The X-Files7 Strangely enough, it is likely that people working on SETI are at the same place Sunday evenings as a high number of Duke students—in front of their televisions watching The X-Files. "I personally enjoy watching The X-Files, at least I did the first couple of seasons," Anderson said. "I think that the popularity of The X-Files is really symptomatic of how important the question is. People are interested in UFOs because that is really the next big question that we, as a race, have to answer." To that end, the scientists hope to find that special radio signal containing the knowledge and discoveries of life beyond Earth. A conversation at such a great distance is, realistically, impractical. Scientists hope, however, to receive an encyclopedic amount of information in that one detected signal.

su By Community theater is alive and well in Carrboro Curtain Upl's current productions feature all the hallmarks of small-town American dramatic art; spare, suggestive sets, local actors and close-tothe-audience drama. The company is currently presenting two one-acts, Edward Albee’s breakthrough play The Zoo Story and Durham playwright Sheryle Criswell's Mourning the Marigolds, at the Carrboro ArtsCenter. From the beginning, Mourning the Marigolds (directed by Alan Criswell), is a simple memory play. It never reaches too deeply into unexplored emotional territory, and that's a good thing. It begins in a London park when a matronly Bessie Levinson (Sharlene Thomas) sits down next to Charlie (Michael O'Foghludha) and starts talking about her marigolds and the "squir-rels" (in an American accent) that are always in them. Soon, in absurd Albee-esque fashion, Charlie is drawn in a conversation with her, which is rather uninterestingly interrupted by the introduction of two other characters who sit across the park—the priest Frank (Harvey Sage) and Julie (Jenifer Crowell), a young female family friend. And then,
voila! the inevitable, inexorable flashback. We learn that a younger Bessie, a failing actress and American expatriate hoping to make it big in
London, once fell in love with a young Frank, the priest who is, by the way, already taken. It's a formula for heartache and mediocre drama a la The Thornbirds. And with lines like, "You must have been thinking about the past, Bessie. You've got that far-away look of people when they're thinking about a long time ago," you really begin to wonder if it ever needed to be said again. While the writing and thinking that undergird this one-act are less than spectacular, the acting is for the most part competent, with Thomas particularly well-suited for her role. With her impeccable timing she can move even the harshest cynic to appreciate the sentimentalism of the play. As much as the writing of Marigolds can't conceal some fine acting, the direction and acting in Curtain Upl's production of The Zoo Story (directed by Phil Holmes), can't conceal the genius of playwright Edward Albee, the master of the American wing of the Theater of the Absurd. This production chooses, for reasons not quite clear, to cast a young Laura Christopherson in the role of Jerry, the young man who accosts Peter, an older married man, on a park bench in Central Park. Confused? Not to sound misogynistic, but with a playwright like Albee, who famously focused on exactitude and precision in each and

every line, it's hard to ignore the ham-fisted efforts of this rewrite to accommodate a woman. In this production Jerry is not a "H-O-M-O-S-E-X-U-A-L' but rather a "LE-S-B-I-A-N." When this Peppermint Patty look-alike jumps on the stage and introduces her pathetic life by saying "I've been to the zoo," you want to say, "Yeah, honey. Riiiight..." Albee's writing is clearly meant as a dialogue between two unsatisfied males one because he is a loner and the other because he is a family man with "one wife, two daughters, two cats and two parakeets" rather than the sons and dog he desired. The tension between these characters can only be achieved with proper casting that allows the audience in on what becomes an intimate homosocial conversation. But other than this one small and irksome feature, the production is a rare opportunity to see an Albee work on the stage. Because of his paucity of characters and the range of emotions required of his actors, Albee is rarely performed, and any company that takes him on deserves praise. It's entirely possible that if you're not familiar with Albee you'll be satisfied by a viewing of this play. The Zoo Story certainly represents a virtuoso piece for both actors, even if they are unfortunately miscast. □

Duke welcomes Oedipus The Aquila Theater Company, founded in 1990, has quickly earned a reputation for its innovative perspectives on classical drama. The group has, in roughly a year's time, produced critically acclaimed versions of King Lear and The llliad. Recess Arts Editor Alexandra Wolfe caught up with Peter Meineck, producing artistic director of the company's latest piece, Oedipus the King, which is scheduled to appear in Page Auditorium on Saturday at 8 pm. How is this performance different than other performances of Oedipus the King ? It uses a lot of very innovative movement. It's one of the few productions to use Greek theater masks in such a mesmerizing way. How did you come up with the Idea of doing this show? This was a production that was going to be done in the year 2000, and we wanted to choose shows that were monumental and also related to each other, so it fit very well with our repertoire.
I think there's also a different training. A lot of American actors are more interested in films and television and building a solo career and there's less focus on ensemble or company work. Is your conning here connected to the production of Helen of Egypt? Robert Richmond, the director of our production, directed the production of Helen of Egypt as well, which was a student production, though. So, it's the same director, but with our company. Why are the classics still
What is the difference between British and American theater? There's a longer tradition of theater in Britain, going back hundreds of years. I think that England is a smaller country, so in away theater is more accessible. Most people can get to London if they really want to, and every single British city of a reasonable size has a professional theater company, which is not the case in America. 1 think also there’s quite a lot of arts subsidy in England, where the government subsidizes theater, which doesn't happen very often in America.
relevant?
If you serve the play well and present it in a fresh way, I think people will relate to it and I think people are always excited by seeing a great play done very, very well that isn't boring. They have the double attraction of seeing a great work of literature and also having a great night at the theater and seeing something that is provoking. There are parts of our play that will make people gasp. It's great that a play that's two-and-a-half thousand years old can still do that.
I think some things are classic because they're good.

Disme Emo?
Ever heard a band that sounds like a cross between Fugazi one fan described the wacky harmonic: live show of Washington, DC rockers The funky wild Plan. The band is coming to Go! Studios Dismemberment Thursday, Feb 4 in support of their stunning new release, Emergency & I. There aren't many opportunities to see artcan actually dance to, but at a DP show, dancing (from boded audience) is a sure thing. A Plan show is more than a it’s a spectacle, complete with flailing, rapping and occasu breathing. Recess music editor Jonas Blank caught up wh Travis Morrison to get the skinny on the exuberant, excep Dismemberment Plan.
Prince? That's how
Do you have any goals for this tour? Umm, not really, no. Not to lose money. Obviously it's nic< people come out to see us, but don't really think about t got the same charm it's always had for me —drive around the country, meet new friends, play music. I love it.
I
How would you describe your music? pop music. Some kid described it once as a cross between Prince and Fugazi, and I like that. It's weird, because we're kind of an arty band, but there's still the element of four guys just plugging into their amps. 1 tell people we're into Steely Dan —because we are into dense songs—but we're loud, we rock
I describe it as experimental
If you come to a venue, and nobody's really heard of you, and nobody's really dancing or having a good time, what do you do to get them excited? [chuckle] Flail. I just try to play a good show. I try to turn my energy toward having a good time myself. People like to watch people have fun. I never think these things out I just get up and go. If they dig us, they dig us. Can you pick one show as your best show ever? Or maybe we should start with a worst show... The worst ones [musically] aren't the soul-killing ones. The interesting ones are usually the soul-killing ones. We don't have nearly as many of those as we did back in the day. We played a show in a record store somewhere in Alabama with Sleater-Kinney to four people. The guy who owned the store had no speakers. There were no mic stands, because he couldn't grasp the concept that both singers in Sleater-Kinney also played instruments. These kinds of things always seem to happen in Alabama or Mississippi or one of those godforsaken southern states. Our last show in December at the Black Cat [in Washington, DC] was a high watermark. I think there's a juncture in a band's career where you can fill a whole room with people who 'get it.' It was like, man, there can't be any more people like this in Washington. Who knows, maybe there's 50 more, I don't know How would you describe your audience? Geeks? Yeah. It's a little They Might Be Giants-ish sometimes. We get a crowd that is very creatively challenging. It challenges me as a performer. We have a very alert, smart and open crew. We're not Modest Mouse. People don't come just to be seen. I think people do come to engage us. We have a really smart crowd, and one that wants to be there for the right reasons.
There's a rant on your web site [www.dismembermentpian.com] about the 'emo' label you've recently been given. What's up with emo? Does anybody know what it means? The original emo is Rites of Spring, late 80s hardcore, Fugazi, Jawbox bands like that. Hardcore bands that heard Husker Du. I try not to get wrapped up in genre names; they're more descriptive of where musicians are coming from than what they sound like. For some reason, there's been a prick of mainstream media interest in this emo thing, and I don't know why now. SPIN made Promise Ring's record one of their top 20 of the year, and they didn't even use the right album cover! Like, if they're such big Promise Ring fans, don't they even know what the album cover looks like? Don't they at least have one lying around to scan? You can't even say what's up with [emo] because it's bullshit. People get too uptight with all these genre names. —
Where
do your lyrics come from? On the song "Gyroscope," you say, "Happiness such hard work Is it hard to make you happy? think that line is true, maybe a little flippant. I'm not saying things don't think. One challenge to writers is, say you're writing about abortion. It's easy to make a song sayln9 ''Operation Rescue sucks," because they do. As a writer, it's harder to do a song where you consider "Is there anything valid to what they're saying?" You have to respect the challenge to be sympathetic to everything. You can't leave your characters out in the cold. You have to sympathize with them, even if they're wrong. If you could play one venue anywhere on earth and sell out, where would it be and why? 'he Black Cat. It's home. It's my favorite club, it's cozy and warm. It sounds bad. S° you like being where you are? res. I think so. is

So what is this 'emo' thing, anyway? 'Emocore' or 'emo' is a label applied to lots of rock's coolest new stars, but it has a problem—nobody knows what it is. Check the well-respected All Music Guide {www.allmusic.com} and there isn't even an entry for it. CMJ New Music Monthly, the college music bible, doesn't do much better: "This scene is characterized by its dynamic, guitar-driven style molded after the word of such titans as Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate." With bands like Promise Ring and Rainer Maria attracting the attention of the mainstream press and one newly crowned emo band, The Dismemberment Plan, coming through town next week, Recess wanted to try and figure out this whole emo thing. So here it
is, kids; Emo 101.
1. The name emo comes from the word 'emotion,' implying, at least to some extent, that the music is intended to move the emotions (as opposed to music that isn't)-. This means that the emo tag isn't normally attached to artists who sing about chicks and beer, though brat-rockers Blink-182 have somehow landed the label. In general, though, think
of a non-confrontational, kinda sad, sensitive guy doing emo, or a really aggressive, dark and angry guy. 2. Oh yeah—most emo artists seem to, be guys. 3. Emo has many flavors. Fugazi are sometimes referred to as the progenitors of emo, but rather un-Fugazi bands like Get Up Kids and even Radiohead are sometimes tossed the moniker. Lots of emo sounds like punk rock, with blazingly fast riffs and relatively simple song structures. However, the songs aren't as simple as punk songs, and they also have sensitive, feelings-oriented guys singing them, rather than snarly, Sid Vicious types. 4. One band that almost everyone classifies as emo is Promise Ring (whose 1999 effort, Very Emergency, showed up on many year end 'best of lists), although no one is sure why. According to SPIN, "Whatever emo is, be careful using it to describe anyone since the kids today take that as a BIG insult. So for the sake of argument, it will be said now that Promise Ring is what emo would sound like if there was ever an actual term to attach itself to" Still don't understand emo? Neither do we. But you'd better be on the lookout, since it's allegedly the Next Big Thing. —By Jonas Blank

On the brink of disaster What role should First World countries play in mitigating the effects of pollution and climate change? An Unexamined Life Edward Benson As I write this, central North Carolina lies under nearly 2 feet of snow, a record-shattering accumulation that is taxing an area not known for its gizzards. This unfamiliar, extreme weather is reminiscent of our last dose jf horrible weather, Hurricane Floyd, just four months ago. One can’t help but wonder if, overall, the weather is worsening. Indeed, as I wrote in this space last April, there is a great deal of evidence that the global climate is changing and that humanity is responsible for (at least some of) the changes. Into the situation, then, comes this news: Sajeeda Choudhury, environ-
observed
ment minister of Bangladesh, has stated that if global climate change results in sea level rise, it will displace millions of her countrymen. Further, she believes, First World nations should take them in. She noted first that the current draft report of Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was predicting that nearly 20 percent of Bangladesh might be submerged within a few decades. “Approximately 20 million people will become ecological refugees. Where shall we move such a huge population?” she was quoted as saying. “People will try to move into upland areas. But there is not enough space to accommodate them. So I would request the developed countries of the world to rethink their immigra-
Don’t
tion policies for the survival of refugees from various small island states and coastal states low-lying like Bangladesh.” As destinations, she specifically singled out the First World nations of “America, the other big countries, Britain and Europe.” In response, the Environment Minister of the United Kingdom, Michael Meacher stated, “We may have to do what Mrs. Choudhury asks. But what we really have to do is to try to prevent the cause. That means ratifying the Kyoto Protocol on ng greenhouse gas emissions. The message is mainly to the United States, which is responsible for 25 percent of emissions.” Kyoto, in his words, was merely “a first, modest, faltering step,” as it calls for emission cuts from 1990 levels of just five percent, while 60 percent or greater is thought to be needed to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations at less than twice their pre-industrial levels. The IPCC is a respected body, but its projections, while based on the bestavailable evidence, are somewhat speculative. And Bangladesh—and other small, low-lying nations—may be worstcase scenarios. But the question raised is significant: If climate change is anthropogenic, and if it does lead to increased sea levels, does the developed world have a special responsibility to help out? It is likely that even if global warming were not anthropogenic, the West might want to help: European and American assistance in numerous humanitarian crises of the past, including for Bangladesh itself, exemplify this desire
tain regions, do developed nations need
to take extraordinary measures to assist? Taking in 20 million refugees would be
extraordinary. Even split among Europe, Japan, the United States and Canada, those 20 million refugees would be staggering, especially given logistical issues of how to transport, house and employ such a staggering number of migrants. If we choose to do so, the West might take on such a challenge; after all, the West implemented the Marshall Plan,
and West Germany took on reunification with East Germany. Both of these were done at enormous cost—but with public will, they happened. The question is not simply could we do so, but rather should we even consider doing it? Pollution in general exists via a vast economic loophole: Its producers do not usually bear its costs. If the West bears the most responsibility for climate
change, then perhaps we do have a special responsibility to help. However, taking in millions of refugees is a steep price. The logistics of it, the precedent established, the stunning costs and the probable lack of public will all argue against it. There are many other ways in which the world could deal with the issues raised by climate change; implementing
international agreements would indeed be a start. In fact, Choudhoury’s and Meacher’s statements may simply be political pressure to get America to adhere to the Kyoto Protocol or to squeeze out more foreign aid to the Third World. But the question raised is thoughtprovoking. And we may need to have a thoughtful answer—soon.

Into the Unknown Maureen Milligan My mother grew up in the same town her entire
childhood—and lived next door to the same evil women
for just as long. They were the Koeler sisters, cruel women with pinched hair and pursed lips who were as quick as cats. They could snatch a baseball or tennis ball as quickly as you could hit it into their yard. Rumor had it that the rooms in their house were filled with baseballs. They were the type of women who populate every small town—you might say, for balance. Just as each town needs policemen, a mayor and a pharmacist, it needs town drunks, harlots and old maids. Towns simply do not function without a wide array of personalities. The policemen need people to a rrest, the ladies of the church need fodder for their gossip and children must have tormentors to prepare them to be creative and strong adults. My mother’s family got plenty of training, because they only had to step out their front door to find their antagonists. In fact, in a child’s life, there are often a multitude 0 tormentors—not just old maids, but elder siblings, ovil teachers, schoolyard bullies and, if they are unforunate enough to be Catholic, they have nuns and priests as well.

Partying Can Be Fun h But Beware of What Happens I When You Try to Warm Up Via Alcohol [U|
Alcohol use is often a contributing factor to hypothermia. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and increases the amount of blood flow to the skin surface resulting in heat loss. Heavy drinking often leads to drowsiness which in turn may cause a drinker to fall asleep while exposed to a cold environment. Alcohol impairs judgment and general awareness of one’s surroundings, which can contribute to the development of hypothermia.

Hypothermia begins with severe shivering and can progress to slurring of speech and confusion. If the condition is allowed to progress, a victim may become unconscious and experience lowered blood pressure. Without proper care, hypothermia can result in death. Even mild cases can lead to cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological disorders.

After a long talk with her team, North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell somberly made her way to the press table and tried to describe the massacre she had just witnessed.
Neal Morgan Game Commentary
But then, at the very end of her press conference, Hatched said something that although a bit confusing, was the perfect way to describe Duke’s offensive attack. ‘They do what they’re capable of doing and do it well,” the coach said. ‘They don’t try to do what they can’t do, and they do what they’re capable of well.” Duke never once tried to play outside ofits game. The Blue Devils simply worked within their offense about as efficiently as they have ever done this year. Duke drove the ball, executed well-timed cuts, shot open jump shots

KRISTA GINGRICH effectively led Duke’s offense, dishing out two assists as the Blue Devils enjoyed their highest-scoring game of the year.
especially in the first half, approached perfection. While building a 30-point halftime lead, Duke made 22 field goals, 17 of which were assisted. The Blue Devils rarely posted up, but still scored 24 points inside of the paint. Duke passed often and passed well, creating open layup after open layup. “It was a great team effort,” Blue Devil coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Almost every basket was an assisted basket, which is very, very impressive and shows the unselfishness of our team.... It was the most complete game we’ve played.” Before last night’s romping of the Heels, Goestenkors said she felt her team was playing impatiently on offense. She said her players were rushing possessions, leading to ill-advised shots or careless turnovers. Last night, there was none of that. The Blue Devils waited for their opportunity to strike, and when it came, they didn’t miss. Duke shot a season-high 67 percent from the floor in the first half. If the opportunity to strike wasn’t there, the Blue Devils made the extra pass and waited for opportunity to knock. Duke realizes it doesn’t have a dominating player who it can isolate one-on-one. It doesn’t have a Michele VanGorp, who last year could barge inside and demand the ball. Instead, this year’s Blue Devils pass the ball around and use everyone—last night, five players scored in double-digits. “Tonight we played a great game,” Goestenkors said. “Everybody got involved, everybody did their part. It wasn’t just one person, it was a great team effort. I’m very, very proud of the team.” But the execution wasn’t limited to the offense. The Tar Heels entered the game with the ACC’s two leading rebounders, but left the floor with a season-low 27 rebounds. Lauren Rice is not exactly a bruiser, but she efficiently boxed out and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. Duke guards See TEAMWORK on page 16 ¥

ANALYSIS C
Browne and Rice lead a very athletic frontcourt for Duke. Each scored 16 in the rout vs. UNC. Parent is an excellent rebounder and plays tough defense. Volnaya and Laßue are two of the best in the nation and could have a field day if Browne, who was injured vs. UNC, is not able to play.

ts
Browne hurt, leaves game in second half with knee injury � UNC from page 1 coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “This is a game I’ll remember for a long time.” Hatchell may remember this game for a while, but it’s one the rest of the Tar Heels would like to soon forget. North Carolina turned the ball over 24 times and converted only 19 field goals. Before two meaningless three pointers from Leah Sharp in garbage time, the team had shot a combined 1for-13 from behind the arc. “We’re just not taking very good shots,”

helped off the floor after five minutes. Browne’s injury status remained unclear following the game. “I hope Peppi’s knee is not what I think it is,” Hatchell said. “It looked bad when she went down. I hope it’s not an ACL injury, but it looked pretty bad. I’ve seen a lot of those, and my stomach dropped when it happened.”
Although Goestenkors went to the
bench frequently in the second half, the Tar Heels never mounted a serious run. But North Carolina’s trapping defense did manage to turn the final 20 minutes into a conga line to the free throw line. The Blue Devils went eight minutes without a field goal but somehow managed to extend their lead from 39 to 42 over that stretch.

UVa has climbed back into a first-place tie with Duke in the conference standings. It is eager to avenge its only ACC loss, a 21-point drubbing by the Blue Devils back in December in the ACC opener. UVa has a huge edge playing in front of what should be a raucous home crowd.
point barrier. Seldom-used center Lello Gebisa ended the suspense with 11 seconds left by softly banking in a turnaround in the lane. The game marked the first time Duke has broken the 100-point barrier against an ACC team since it dropped 113 points on Georgia Tech last January. “It’s always nice [to get to 1001 because the crowd gets really into it,”

11 VIRGINIA
Duke faces a big uncertainty this weekend with the availability of Peppi Browne. Even if she plays, Duke has its hands full with Volnaya and Laßue. Duke handled the duo last time, but Laßue was playing in her first ACC contest. UVa has since reeled off seven consecutive conference wins and vaulted into first into the standings. The game will be exciting but the home crowd and Laßue are too much. UVa 87, Duke 83.—Compiled by Bob Wells

Quarles and Robinson are exceptional guards who can light up the scoreboard when they have to. Still, Virginia turns the ball over too much—2l last time vs. Duke and 19 in a narrow win over Wake. Gingrich does an excellent job getting Duke into its sets and no one has been able to stop Schweitzer all year.

THE NOD
Schweitzer said. “But it doesn’t really matter to us as long as we win.” Notes: Rice grabbed her 500th rebound last night and came within one board and four assists of a triple-double.... Duke’s 29 made free throws established a new Blue Devil Cameron record.... The Blue Devils shot 67 percent from the field in the first half, their best performance of the season.

ANALYSIS 2
Boozer, Battier and Carrawell make up one of the best frontcourts in the conference—averaging 51.1 points per game, compared to Clemson's 22.8 average. The Tigers may be taller than the Blue Devils at every position, but Duke’s quickness and athleticism will easily make up for it.
I
Clemson’s Solomon leads the ACC in scoring and is a threat from three-point range, but other than that, the Tigers have very little that can challenge Duke. Furthermore, Williams is hot after throwing in 19 points against Wake Forest last week and will be fresh after a week off.

Clemson hopes to have Edward Scott healthy for this contest because its key reserves average less than nine points per game. Duke only plays six men with regularity, but even its seventh, eighth, and ninth players could start for the Tigers. Everyone on the Duke roster should see action during this contest. After a week off, Duke has been able to catch up on practice and academics. The team will be well-rested and looking to get its rhythm back before next week’s game against UNC. Clemson, in contrast, will be playing its second game in three days. However, Clemson will carry its momentum of shocking N.C. State.

Duke enters the game with a 15-game winning streak and a week to prepare after its record-setting win in Winston-Salem. Clemson, on the other hand, is the only ACC team with a losing record and it enters this one after having lost six straight. The snow may keep a few people out of Cameron, but this one should not prove too difficult for the Blue Devils. —Compiled by Paul Doran Duke wins easily, 91 -69.

Despite lack of size, Haywood scores career-high 24 vs. Terps Duke grabs boards Associated Press
TEAMWORK from page 13 Georgia Schweitzer, Krista Gingrich and Shaena Mosch combined for 10 boards. “They all get in there and battle on the boards,” Hatchell said. “The most impressive thing about them is they’re not that big, but they get in there and really battle inside.” Hatchell was surprised that a team so small could grab so many boards, but this year’s Duke team is full of surprises. On paper, the Blue Devils don’t really command that much respect. But once they’re on the floor working as a unit, they’re very tough to beat. &

The bleeding has stopped at CHAPEL HILL North Carolina. The reeling Tar Heels avoided their first five-game losing streak since 1952 as Brendan Haywood matched his career high with 24 points in a 75-63 victory over No. 22 Maryland Thursday night. “We want to remember this feeling so we can taste it again,” said North Carolina’s Jason Capel, who added 11 points and 12 rebounds. The Tar Heels (12-8, 3-3 in the ACC) trailed by as many as 11 points in the first halfand seven at halftime, but stormed back in the early portion of the second half to end a miserable stretch of six losses in nine games. “Coach [Bill] Guthridge told us to just settle down,” Capel said of the halftime speech. “He said we came out too anxious and to settle down and good things will happen and stay together because we were going to come back and win. “There was no way we were going to lose this game,” Capel added. “We have worked too hard and we deserve this. We came out and played for [coach] and the fans and had a good time in the second half.” Maryland (13-6, 2-4) made 10 of its first 17 3-pointers, but hit the offensive skids during a 14-0 North

a run. game “We’ve played 19 games now and we should be more consistent than we were in the second half,” Williams said of his team’s 26 percent shooting over the final 20 minutes. “We just broke down.” Haywood, who was 10-for-ll from the foul line, also had 24 points against California in 1998. North Carolina came into the game with its worst losing streak since the 1991-92 season. “From everything I read this week I knew it was going to be a situation like [desperation] coming in here,” Williams said. “To their credit, they got it up. It’s one thing to talk about it, it’s another thing to do it, They did a great job of playing with emotion.” The game was pushed back 24 hours because of the 20-inch snowstorm that hit the area Monday night, and many of North Carolina’s regular fans were absent.
