N.C. welcomes tobacco ruling Leaders in one of the nation’s top tobacco-growing states lauded a Supreme Court decision that stripped the FDA of its authority to regulate cigarettes. >

By CHRISTINE PARKINS The Chronicle

While the proponents of the tobacco industry are rejoicing, anti-tobacco organizations are regrouping in the wake ofTuesday’s U.S Supreme Court ruling that the Food and Drug Administration does not have the authority to regulate tobacco as an addictive drug. Many North Carolinians expressed relief at the good news for the state’s top cash crop. ‘Tobacco is away of life for the people in North Carolina,” said Dean Rouse, chair ofFriends of Tobacco. “Without it, our people have no way of making a livelihood.” Rouse explained that he saw the FDA’s interference in the tobacco industry as a threat to the well-being of the citizens ofNorth Carolina. “That’s how we make our living... by growing a legal product,” he said. ‘The FDA would be putting our people out of work.” Members of anti-tobacco groups, however, vehemently disagreed with the ruling. T hate to be pessimistic, but this definitely was a disappointment for us,” said Tim Filler, program manager ofAmerica for Nonsmokers’ Rights. ‘They won this stage of the battle on the war against smoking.” Across the state, tobacco proponents were pleased that the industry was receiving a brief respite from increased regulations. [ “This is welcomed news for the tobacco industry at time when it seems everyone in the world has irned against this legal crop,” said N.C. Agriculture immissioner Jim Graham in a statement. In Tuesday’s 5-4 ruling, the court said the FDA •eached beyond its delegated authority in its attempts regulate cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. The FDA stepped up efforts against tobacco in 1997

The messages had been subpoenaed for campaign-finance investigations By ANN SCALES The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON The Justice Department has begun a criminal investigation into the disappearance ofthousands of White House email messages that had been subpoenaed in campaign-finance and other investigations. The investigations will also look into allegations, made at congressional hearings Thursday, that WT hite House officials warned contractors to keep quiet about the problem. The e-mails were sought during congressional and judicial inquiries into campaign fund-raising abuses

in the 1996 presidential campaign, among othercriminal investigations. The Justice Department’s involvement, disclosed Thursday in court papers, helps resurrect the campaign-finance scandal, which White House officials had hoped was behind them. GOP presidential candidate George Bush Thursday quickly weighed in on the controversy, which is sure to be a contentious issue in the 2000 campaign. White House counsel Beth Nolan acknowledged last week there was a previously unknown glitch on the computer server in the office ofVice

President A1 Gore. Explaining why the Justice De-

partment was opening its investigation, a department official said, “It’s serious enough to warrant more than just picking up the phone,” and calling the White House to find out what happened. “But, we’re not quite sure if there’s anything there.” Investigators want to know why the White House computer system failed to capture thousands of incoming e-mails to top White House personnel, and whether the effort was deliberate. They also want to know whether White House employees made threats to workers of Northrop Grumman Corp., which ran the See E-MAIL on page 6 �

Clinton enjoys traveling around India By TERENCE HUNT Associated Press

JAIPUR, India President Bill Clinton danced with women in a rural village Thursday and lucked out on a safari when he saw a Bengal tiger come close to pouncing on a deer. The president said that at the request of wildlife experts, he would issue a plea for preservation ofIndia’s endangered tigers against continued poaching. Twenty of the magnificent animals were lost last year, he said. After high-level meetings and sightseeing through the week, the president concludes his Indian trip Friday by visiting a high-tech center and the financial capital of this struggling country.

The president leaves India with at least one regret: He followed the advice ofWhite House advisers who, fearing embarrassing pictures, persuaded him not to ride on a painted elephant. “I desperately wanted to ride on an elephant’s back,” Clinton lamented later, “I’ve always wanted to do it.” Clinton avoided a run-in with frisky monkeys by surrendering the lei he was wearing around his neck, “Once I was deflowered they didn’t pay attention to me,” the president said with a laugh, “I don’t mind these monkeys liking me but I don’t want to get 4,700 shots” ifthey had bit him.

Wed. shooting kills employee at home 1 �Two suspects have been arrested in the bizarre shooting of Karen Paschall, a beloved staff assistant in the Human Resources department. ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Karen Paschall, a compassionate and caring Duke employee for the past 24 years, was shot to death late Wednesday night in her North Durham home. Two suspects have been arrested and charged with her murder.

Paschall, a staff assistant in the communications and planning division of Human Resources, was talking on the phone in her Village Green home when a gunman fired several shots through her window, striking her twice in the chest. She was transported to Durham Regional Hospital, where she later died Two suspects were taken into custody Thursday morning. A statement issued by the Durham Police Thursday Department night gave no potential motive for the crime, and police officials could not be reached for comment after the release was distributed. |( aren Paschall Nineteen-year-old Charles McDonald 111, of 5819 Lilley Dr., and 18year-old Corey Eugene Damarr, of 202 E. Maynard Ave., have each been charged with one count of firstdegree murder and one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling. Police also believe the two suspects were responsible for a drive-by shooting earlier that night at 1112 Taylor St. No one was injured in that shooting. “[Paschall] was a beautiful woman, a beautiful soul,” Dennis Meredith said Thursday as he choked back tears. “She was just so sweet, so helpful and so loving.” Meredith, the assistant vice president and director of the office of research communications, worked with Paschall for eight years.

Getting published is not impos sible, but new writers cannot expect immediate success

By KELLY WOO This is the third story in a three-part series on young authors breaking into the writers’ market.

So you want to be a writer.

Well, ignore the laughing and the sympathy from your friends and relatives. Contrary to popular belief, you can be a writer—and it can happen soon, as evidenced by recent Duke graduates Dr. Jeff Drayer, David Gomberg and Justin Heimberg, who have all published books before age 30. “Everything good gets published,” said literary agent and writer Bill Adler. “If your novel is good enough, eventually it’s going to get published.” All it takes, say those in the literary field, is determination. “I think it’s the determination that counts more than innate, inborn talent,” said Shannon Ravenel, a founder of Algonquin Books publishing company in Chapel Hill. “The writers that I see succeeding

Write, write, write—and the published get published somewhere, a three part series Adler said. “The first article I ever wrote was for the bestselling, internationally acclaimed magazine American Dry Cleaner,” Adler said with sarcasm, recalling his piece about three dry cleaners within a block of each other. “The more you write, the more you’re going to get edited, the more you get published. It doesn’t matter where you start, the point is just: Start.” One piece of advice everyone offers is to join a writers’ group.“It really helps to be part of a writing community where people like yourself are just starting out, or if you go to [a Master of Fine Arts] program...,” Ravenel said. “It helps to have people other »arents or your best friends to read what "en and give you unbiased and helpful igreed. “You want to have that novel brusaid the author of Outwitting Squirrels The Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Linn. “If it means rewriting... then take the ticism to heart.” But though getting published may not impossible, it is still a difficult feat—specially for novelists. Major publishing ouses like Random House, Harperlollins or Penguin do not even accept unsolicited manuscripts or deal with authors directly. They require that you have an agent. Although the buzz is that agents are vital, Adler said there are other routes for hopeful writers. Smaller publishing houses, like Algonquin Books, take unsolicited manuscripts. “Consider small boutique publishers, 'hey will look at fiction that is un-agent-1,” Adler said. “Some of them don’t pay t much, but on the other hand they are jd people who care about what they do.” Ravenel also said an agent is not necesSee

Condominiums want to keep sandbags beyond May deadline:

Owners of a condominium complex in Kure Beach want the state to allow sandbags to remain in place beyond the May deadline for their removal. The Riggings condominiums are wedged between a rock outcropping and the 3,100 foot-long boulder wall at Fort Fisher, but the sea has scoured out a dent in the shoreline at The Riggings. Sandbags that have been in place since 1985 are all that stand between the 48 condominiums and the Atlantic. All sandbags placed on North Carolina beaches before 1995 have to be removed

by May under rules intended to keep sandbags from becoming permanent impediments on the beach. The owners hope that the bags can buy them enough time to enter Kure Beach’s next round ofbeach renourishment in 2001, but federal engineers have said that is unlikely.

Marine Lab adds new courses to boost enrollment By BECKY YOUNG The Chronicle

Declining enrollment at the Duke Marine Lab has prompted a flurry of neW course offerings designed to attract

more students. Officials have introduced a new program called “Conservation, Biology and Policy” that they hope will bring a new type of undergraduate to Beaufort. “We are hoping to attract students that are not necessarily science majors,” said Bruce Corliss, associate dean of the Nicholas School of Environment. “These are courses with policy involved.” Enrollment in the Marine Lab’s programs has fluctuated greatly in the last

Pope John Paul II holds interfaith meeting in Jerusalem By ALESSANDRA STANLEY N.Y. Times News Service

JERUSALEM John Paul II has long dreamed of holding an interfaith encounter during the Holy Year with Jewish and Muslim leaders to symbolize the religious reconciliation that he has made a hallmark of his papacy. The pope initially tried to have it on Mount Sinai, where Moses, revered by all three religions, received the Ten Commandments. That fell through. Thursday, in Jerusalem, the religious encounter the Vatican patched together grew so stormy that it became a symbol not of reconciliation, but of the deep political divides that are veining the pope’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The pope and his two guests took their seats in an auditorium at the Pontifical Institute of Notre Dame. Above them was a painted screen depicting Jerusalem with a dove of peace flying over it and the word peace in Hebrew, Arabic and Latin. Israel’s Ashkenazic chief rabbi, Yis-

rael Meir Lau, took the podium first, speaking with intensity about the need, in everyday life, for peace and dialogue. He then put an abrupt end to both by thanking the pope for “your recognition of the Jewish independent state, the state of Israel, your recognition ofJerusalem as its united, eternal capital city.” The pope, who is trying to get

Jerusalem international status as a

holy city, had done no such thing. A man in the audience, which was made up of representatives of the Catholic, Muslim and Jewish faiths, along with others, angrily shouted, “The pope did not recognize

Jerusalem!” Sheik Taysir Tamimi, the newly appointed deputy chief justice of the Palestinian Islamic courts, spoke next. He welcomed the pope in Arabic as the guest of “the Palestinian people on the land of Palestine, in the city of holy Jerusalem, eternal capital of Palestine” and was interrupted by loud applause. He had agreed to take part in the interfaith encounter after the chief Muslim cleric, the mufti of Jerusalem, backed out, saying he could not sit with rabbis as long as Palestine was occupied by Israelis. As Tamimi spoke about justice and the “usurpation” of national rights and “aggression against people, property and holy places,” Lau, who does not speak Arabic, stared stonily into space. The pope, who had an interpreter at his side, held his head in his hands throughout both speeches. The sheik mentioned occupation, Jewish settlements the need to establish an independent Palestinian State and Baruch Goldstein, the Jewish extremist who opened fire in a Hebron mosque in 1994, killing many Muslims.

Investigators wonder if disappearance was caused by glitch � E-MAIL from page 2

computer system, to prevent the existence ofthe e-mail from being disclosed. Robert Conrad, chief of the Justice Department’s campaign finance task force, said in the court papers that investigators had recently learned that the White House’s record-keeping system had for some time failed to capture e-mails sent from external computers, and that some of the messages may have been related to various investigations, including its investigation into 1996 fund-raising. He wrote that the task force “has initiated an investigation” into whether as a result of computer error, task force subpoenas issued to the Executive Office of the President “were not fully complied with.” He added, “The task force intends to investigate whether persons were in fact threatened with retaliation in order to prevent the existence of the affected e-mail [if any] from becoming known to the task force.” The court documents were filed as part of a request to delay a civil lawsuit filed in part by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, which has pursued numerous cases against the Clinton White House. At a congressional hearing Thursday, Northrop con-

tractors working on the e-mail project testified they had reported the computer foul-up, which began in 1996, to White House officials in June 1998, a time when the White House was consumed by the Monica Lewinsky investigation. Two contractors said White House officials told them to keep quiet about the problem and said they could be jailed if word got out. “There would be a jail cell with my name on it,” contractor Robert Haas told a hearing of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee. Two other contractors at the meeting said they did not recall being threatened with jail, but all remembered being told to keep quiet about what was a sensitive issue. A fifth participant said she thought she had been threatened with jail, but was unclear by whom. Two White House employees alleged to have made the threats, Mark Lindsay and Laura Callahan, testified later to the committee that they had never tried to intimidate anyone or made threats over the e-mails. “I unequivocally deny that I threatened anyone regarding disclosure of the e-mail situation,” Lindsay said. Callahan said Haas “may be having a bad recollection or he might have an overactive imagination.”

In remarks prepared for the House committee, Nolan, the White House counsel, said she has instructed Charles Easley, the associate director of the Office of Administration’s Security Division, to conduct a review ofthe allegations. Nolan, who was not called to testify Thursday, also said in her prepared statement that the “computer glitches are the result of unintentional human error,.., No one attempted to hide responsive information from this committee or any other investigative body.” “We are still in the process of determining the scope and time period involved,” she said in a letter to Representative Dan Burton, an Indiana Republican and chair of the House committee investigating the questionable e-mails. In an interview after the hearing, White House spokesperson Jim Kennedy said the administration had been in touch with Justice Department investigators over the past several weeks and was cooperating with them. Asked whether the investigation would raise fresh questions about White House fund-raising, Kennedy said, “This is a problem involving the technology, and we are doing what we can to help resolve it.”

expressed his surprise was 5-4 because ofwhat he considered ruling the that to be the clarity of the law. “Just looking at the facts, it appears obvious to me that the FDA should not be regulating tobacco. If you gave the FDA the power to label cigarettes as ‘medical devices,’ that could lead to the banning of cigarettes,” he said. Coble said the president’s allocation of the regulatory authority to the FDA was outside the executive branch’s power. Instead, Congress traditionally dictates this type of jurisdiction. President Bill Clinton did not address this point in his statement Tuesday, but said that he hoped Congress would pick up where the FDA was forced to halt. Clinton called upon Congress to enact the provisions of a five-year old proposal the FDA presented to eliminate advertising aimed at children and curb minors’ access to tobacco. “So today I call upon the leadership of Congress.... that by working together across party lines, believe I we can protect our children and save lives,” he said. Already, several members of Congress have introduced bills to expand the FDA’s authority to cover tobacco. “The Congress now has the ball in their court,” Filler said. “Traditionally, Congress has been tobacco’s friend. I hope that the congressional leadership will do the right thing and give the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco.” Filler said his Californiabased organization would be stepping up education and outreach efforts to members of Congress, i Maura Payne, a spokesperson for the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company disagreed, saying that earmarking Congress as being friendly to a certain industry is misleading because ofthe wide diversity of opinions in the legislature. Rouse, of Friends of Tobacco, said he did not foresee Congress giving the FDA more regulatory authority. “I can’t see that [Congress] would try and overrule [the Supreme Court’s decision]. I hope this will be the end if it,” said the chair of the Kinston based organization. Filler added that he hoped Congress would not feel needs t)acco to extend any compensatory benefits to the toindustry if it decided to allow the FDA to reguate it. Although the Supreme Court ruling could have unifications in the future, most experts agreed that le decision will not significantly affect the lives of av-

erage citizens. “Many of the provisions of the FDA’s original proposal had to do with preventing teenage smoking and these had already been put into place as part of the Master Settlement agreement from November 1998,” Payne said. “Much of what the FDA sought to pass had already come to pass.” Payne pointed to restrictions such as the ban on cigarette brand sponsorship for events with a significant youth audience and document disclosure as FDA proposals that had already been implemented. Jim Martin of the North Carolina Tobacco Prevention and Control acknowledged that state laws would still prohibit minors from smoking and keep most cigarette vending machines in adult-only areas. Neverthe-

tobacco laws. “We will need to fill the void left by the loss of federal funds,” said Martin, the state adviser for preventing teen smoking. Officials across the nation seem to agree that the ruling means local action will have to strengthen in order to prevent teen smoking. ‘The governor never thought it was the FDA's responsibility to regulate tobacco,” said Reid Hertzog, spokesperson for N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt. ‘The decision means we’re going to have to do our part to reduce teen smoking.” Although Clinton asked Congress to work on this issue, many state officials said local efforts would be most effective. “No one is discounting the need to eliminate teen smoking, but this can be handled best on a state and local level as opposed to regulation by a federal agency,” said Graham, the agriculture commissioner.

Student suffers injuries after being hit by DATA bus ACCIDENT from page 1

EMERGENCY PERSONNEL patrolled the scene after a DATA bus ran over a Trinity sophomore at the West Campus bus stop.

An eyewitness to the accident said Shandilya was walking across the street toward the bus stop when the accident occurred. Apparently, neither the bus driver nor the student saw each other before the collision. By the time the bus stopped, Shandilya was underneath it about midway between the front and back tire. She told police that before walking into the bus’s path, she looked both ways and did not see it. The witness, a female employee who was standing with the traffic control officer manning the stop, said the officer screamed out to the victim and the driver, but it was too late. “Neither the bus nor the girl seemed to slow down,” she said. Shandilya’s roommate, Trinity sophomore Emily Degroof, said she heard through Shandilya’s sister that the bus driver did not realize the accident occurred until' after he ran over her. “She’s OK for being run over by a bus,” said. “Luckily, he stopped and didn’t run over her again.... I hope she’ll be OK. It’s really sad and scary.” Shandilya remained conscious after the collision and throughout treatment from Duke EMS and Durham County

EMS, who transported her to the Emergency Department. In addition to the pelvic fracture, her leg is also having blood pressure problems caused by the initial collision, Degroof said. DATA officials refused to comment on the accident or the driver, explaining that the company is conducting its own investigation. The bus, number 119 with license plate 44433R, was driving the Duke-to-downtown route. Campus Police called Durham Police Department’s Traffic Accident Control team to investigate the scene and kept Chapel Drive and the bus stop closed for most of the morning. Several University officials said yesterday’s collision sparked their memories of a 1992 Duke Transit bus accident that killed a female student, Amy Geissinger, The student fell out of the bus right near Trent Drive Hall and was dragged underneath it by the right rear wheel. In November 1998, a DATA bus collided with one of the pillars at the northwest intersection of Chapel Drive and the traffic circle. One of the bus’s five passengers was injured and transported to the Emergency Department, Richard Rubin contributed to this story.

Approximately 1,100 fans left smiling after more than two hours of frolicking. “I think the kids had a lot of funsaid Trinity junior Justin Lessek, co-chair of security for the event. “Everyone I talked to was happy.” Before Wyclef stepped on stage, concertgoers were treated to a set on the turntables by his DJ and a rendition ofCarlos Santana’s “Maria Maria,” currently the number-two single in the nation. The first part of the concert was a mix of songs from Wyclefs solo album, The Carnival, songs from his former band, the Fugees, and covers of popular hip-hop songs from the last decade. Wyclef kept the crowd on its toes by liberally shifting between singing, storytelling and freestyle rapping. At one point, he jumped from the stage and

cademic Council hears plan for bioinformatics department culty attracting really good people [since we don’t have

ACADEMIC COUNCIL from page 1 IN OTHER BUSINESS: In more standard procelure, the council also addressed the proposed creation if a Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in he School of Medicine. The proposed department would merge the disciilines of biostatistics and bioinformatics to provide a nitable environment for two disciplines seen by many n the field as arrows to the future, said Dr. Joseph lorless, vice dean for faculty and academic affairs at he School of Medicine. “Biostatistics is a department that has status at lost major medical centers,” he said. “We have diffi-

an appropriate home}.”

When pressed by electrical engineering associate professor John Board, William Wilkinson, professor and chief of the division of biometry, acknowledged that there are conflicting definitions of bioinformatics. ‘We’ve defined it loosely as ‘computational biology,”’ he said, adding that its vague definition should not cause concerns that the department will be an “exclusive club.” Wilkinson emphasized that the department would be collaborating with the computer science department as well as the Pratt School of Engineering. The proposal will be voted on at the April meeting.

The council also discussed possible renovations to the faculty dining and meeting facilities on the second floor of the West Union building. “Our recommendation is that we take advantage ofwhat is currently unused space,” said Mike Munger, associate professor of political science and chair of the Faculty Commons Committee. The committee will be conducting a survey of faculty members to gauge support for an improved eating and meeting establishment. The council elected Professor of Physics Lawrence Evans for a one-year term as editor of the Faculty Forum, replacing long-time editor and Professor of English Victor Strandberg.

Billy Packer needs to adjust his attitude and style I dislike Billy Packer’s style of commentary. His approach is dependent upon criticizing the decisions that players and coaches make while on the playing floor. He does not provide “color” commentary, but negative comments to make his point. To make it worse, he has a pompous attitude, and it is for that reason that for most of the games he worked in the ACC in the 1980s and 19905, my family would turn the sound off on the television and turn on the radio whenever possible.

Taiwan takes a positive step toward independeno equal in status, otherwise the “negotiation” would be no more than one side demanding and the other fulfilling these demands. But that is not how China wants to play. China insists on having the upper hand. It wants to talk; however, it lists as a prerequisite that Taiwan must recognize that “there is only one China” and that “Taiwan is part of China.” Accepting these prerequisites implies that Taiwan is subordinate to China. That immediately brings danger in two ways: Taiwan then would have no leverage or status at the negotiation table, and China will use its familiar mantra that “no foreign country should involve

itself in our internal bus ness” to fend off any foreij observers or assistance, this happens, the Taiwanei people would then be immediate danger— hot military and political.

March 18 was a glorious day in Taiwan. The Taiwanese have spoken with their votes. They said no to two parties that have dominated their regimes without interruption for more than 50 years.

Given the current conditions and preexisting policies in China, Taiwan and the United States, Taiwan will not declare its independence in the foreseeable future. Therefore, Taiwan needs to keep the dialogue about unification flowing across the straight. During any negotiation process, both sides should be

word “culture” has been tossed around lately in discussions about the role of alcohol in life at Duke. The alcohol task force has begun to examine this culture and how it might be changed, but simple examination is not enough. The committee is a group designed for thinking; what Duke needs right now is some doing. These last few weeks of school are an especially dangerous time, when many students drink and drink heavily. There are several highrisk events —including the Final Four and the last day of classes. The administration must provide for some short-term solutions in addition to the long-term planning the task force will provide. Binge drinking and alcohol abuse will never be completely eradicated; there will always be people who will drink to excess in the privacy of their own room. However, what the University can do is create an environment where drinking is more public and drinkers can be held more accountable by their peers. More importantly, the community needs to see visible results starting now. While the task force’s intentions are good, who knows when they will come up with a plan and when that plan will be implemented? The administration must immediately step forward to help fund and plan programming. These events would not be non-alcoholic “alternatives” to drinking; they would be venues for responsible, peerregulated, public drinking. There are a million creative and fun ideas. Have a midnight jazz concert in the Duke Gardens where students can listen to music and drink wine with their friends. Bring out the beer trucks every Friday, and supplement them with a quad barbecue. Encourage student groups to host parties where dancing and socializing are primary, but drinking is still allowed. Open up Cameron Indoor Stadium so people can watch tournament games or attend concerts. The point here is to give students an array of free, safe, alcohol-friendly—but not alcoholbased—choices. In addition, the task force’s leaning toward prevention and education is right on. Students should be informed how to handle themselves and their peers after binge drinking. Though this sends mixed messages, the administration can make it clearer by adopting a “we’ll help you but won’t like it” attitude toward binge drinkers. Allow students to drink in on-campus bars, but do not tolerate drunk and disorderly conduct. It makes sense to have drinks available on points, but maybe DukeCards could be programmed to limit the number of alcohol purchases per day. And if a student is repeatedly being hospitalized, require something beyond simple counseling—perhaps extensive community service. Whatever the University administrators choose to do, it must be done now—before the school year ends and the momentum frizzles. Thinking and strategizing is important, but it must be accompanied by quick, decisive action. As we have all learned too well in the past months, when it comes to curbing binge drinking, lives are at stake. The time for change is now.

Reading the scoop, having a Bud Half snack, half cereal, all good

The fast-paced modern world leaves little time for a family meal in the evening much less one in the morning. For years now, experts on breakfast have been predicting the demise of breakfast cereals and their leading producer, Kellogg's. It looks like the experts were wrong. When a massive comet struck the earth 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs didn't die—they turned into birds. And when the slings and arrows of a changing society struck the breakfast table, Kellogg's cereals didn't die either—they turned into Snack 'Urns The line currently features three breakfast cereals with their snackable properties enhanced: The "Big Rollin' Froot Loops™" are simply giant versions of the regular cereal, and the "Big Boomin' Pops™" are strangely unpleasant. But the "Rice KrispiesTreats Krunch™" strike solid cereal gold. The first few bites are admittedly disconcerting—they are dry and crunchy rather than moist and chewy—but the flavor is wonderful. Even better is the nutrition content; A whole can—far more than you'd want to eat at a single sitting—has just 520 calories and 6 grams of fat. They are perhaps the most addictive low-fat snack that doesn't have the mischief-causing synthetic compound olestra in it it'd be nice to know whether Frosted Flakes, Raisin Bran or some other cereal may be getting the Snack 'Dm treatment, but officials from the company are surprs ingly cagey, "it's a brand-new product that's going over very well.That's all I can tell you," said a customer service representative. Still, Newsweek reported recently that the company has dropped behind General Mills in the cut-throat cereal business for the first time, and executives view products like Snack 'Urns as their salvation. And that they may be. Providing a new way to enjoy old flavors, Snack 'Urns could be the biggest new Kellog's product since Pop Tarts. When Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats were first introduced, the company couldn't manufacture them fast enough to meet early demand. A look at the shelves in local supermarkets suggests that Rice Krispies Treats Krunch, if not its two illegitimate younger siblings, could emulate that triumph. —By Tim Millington

Win $2 million on Greed!

greedy Duke students: Chuck Woolery wants you, and so do the folks at the gameshow he hosts Greed. Yes, the former host of Love Connection and the producers of the Fox Network's popular television show Greed are looking for college students to appear on the show and compete for up to $2 million in prize money. Auditions will be held this Monday at Top of the Hill (100 E. Franklin St. in Chapel Hill) at 3 pm, sharp. Students from Duke and UNC will vie to compete in a college edition of Greed. According to Hayley Blain, head contestant coordinator for Greed, "We want to have a good representation from Duke for our ACC show. We'll probably pick up to three or four Duke students, so there are plenty of spots to be taken."

Attention all —

The audition process is fairly easy—fill out an application and take a qualifying quiz. Students who pass the quiz will stay for a second round, which will more or less be a simulation of the actual game as it is played on TV. And if you make the cut after round two and are approved by the show's executive producer, you'll be flown out to Hollywood sometime in April to appear on College Greed as a member of the ACC team. So what kind of person is Greed looking for? "We want greedy students," Blain said. "It's basically survival of the fittest and the smartest and the Three other collegiate athletl the Ivy League, RAC-10 and Bi have their own College Greed And by what sophisticated cnt four conferences selected?

Pratt senior describes his MTV experience Recess editor Kevin Pride spent spring break in Durham, but that didn't stop him from enjoying

the fun vicariously. Yesterday, he chatted with Pratt senior Brandon Cherry, a contestant on MTV's sun-and-skin show Springer Break: King and Queen, which airs tomorrow on MTV.

How did you manage to get on the MTV's Springer Break? Well, they were in Cancun shooting various shows all week, and had gone in to watch the taping of another show, and one of the cast people came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be on the show. And so I said sure. Then there were auditions for the show, and a bunch of people auditioned and they picked the best people. How many people were at the audition? Probably about 100 total... about 50 guys and 50 girls. Describe the premise behind the show and describe what happened before and during it I guess in theory the show sets out to find the hottest couple at spring break. None of the people are couples, though. I think that there was actually only one real couple in the whole group, while the other people were just randomly paired together. If you watch the show on TV, you're supposed to believe that the people are couples. rry Springer is : you a bunch of i be answered 'ords. And I is... sexual, some couples nally get down

And this girl wasn't very attractive and she didn't want to do any cool or funny stuff, so I really had no chance of winning. Yeah, I pretty much hate her. What, specifically, did the two of you have to do? The-first show, they ask each couple a question. Joye had to do something to turn me on, and she just kind of shook her ass for a little while or whatever. In the second round, every couple did lap dances. Then in the third round, there was a phone booth, and every couple had to go into the phone booth and change bathing suits, and whoever came out in the fastest time won. And it was a glass phone booth, so the people in the crowd had a pretty nice view..., and the cameras, too. What kind of rules were there for the couples? The girls had to wear thongs, which Joye somehow managed to not have to do, probably because she couldn't. The guys couldn't wear necklaces for some reason, and we were all barefoot. For the first show, they told us not to do anything that was too sexual. But by the time we got to the finals, they said that everything they had told us before, throw that all out the window now, it's the finals, it's for a trip to the Bahamas, you know, we want good TV, so do whatever you can. In classic Jerry Springer form, did any fights break out or any chairs get thrown? No fights broke out. Nothing like that. I was thinking about starting a fight with somebody, but we really didn't have time for that. Has your mom seen the show? I'm not sure that she's aware that I'm on it, so I'm sure she hasn't seen it. What would she think if she did see it? I'm sure she'd be embarrassed, but whatever.

OWN T Teen movies aren’t just slash-’em-ups and softcore pornography. In Hereon Earth, there’s also sappy drama. .

By Angela Fernan des

THE UNDERDOG: Why would Samantha (Leelee Sobieski) want to stick with long-time boyfriend Jasper (Josh Hartnett)? He's a poor local boy and (unlike Chris Klein) he doesn't look a thing like Keanu Reeves. And h\s name is Jasper!

So now we finally hear from Hollywood's Sappy Teen Drai with Hormonal Horrors and Banal Raunch Comedies.

But there are plenty of other cringe-wo wonder why you're in a theatre full of vapid teenage girls, certainly one of them. The plot here isn't all that different from Love Story's, ex of being set on a college campus. And hey, it's even in Massachusetts, just so our cocky hero can be a pretentious Starbucks-bred Bostonian Masshole.The Gothic mansion was a nice touch, in case you didn't understand that this kid is rich. Subtle, subtle! And so we have Kelley Morse (pretty boy Chris Klein of American Pie) zipping along a country road one night in his Mercedes looking for redneck trouble, of course. Isn't that what prep-school boys spend their time doing? He stops at a roadside diner, Mabie's Table, and ;es to ogle the provin-

In a courtroom scene too stupid for me to explain, Kelley is slapped with community service time: He must help the town rebuild Mabie's Table. Don't make me laugh. Oh, how convenient; he can stay at Samantha's (the provincial waitress) house while serving his time in order to build up the restaurant AND the sexual tension over the summer. Yeah, yeah, so they fall in love, and quite unconvincingly at that. Mmm, sexual innendoes about handcuffs and "breaking the law" are just too innovative for the millenium. Tm glad that the art of seduction hasn't been lost. But what about the boyfriend? There's no particular reason why Samantha ditches him for Kelley. Maybe because his name isn't Jasper and he doesn't drive a Monte Carlo. And how could we forget the important cancer plot point? Samantha develops cancer, as well as the Ali McGraw Beauty Disease made so popular by Love Story. Wasting away in a hospital bed riddled with cancer actually makes you more beautiful.

Reaching a Destination A Duke English major interning at New Line Cinema does his best to inject literary style into the script that became Final Destination. By Dan Mallory So the Academy Awards are nigh upon us, and it's all American Beauty this and Cider House Rules that. I am sorry to report that, in a Pyrrhic victory for quality cinema, the most recent addition to the canon of American film has been obscured by the Oscar hype: I refer, of course, to New Line Cinema's latest piece de resistance cinematique, the teen horror thriller Final Destination. Even though the tagline for this movie is "No Accidents... No Coincidences... No Escapes," I am proud to state that whiled away last summer polishing this movie's script. Details? Very well: In February of 1999, I landed a June-to-August internship at New Line's New York headquarters. Lo and behold, once the office brass hear I'm an English major at Duke, they shuttle this script down to me —Flight 180, it's called—and invite me to provide a bit of feedback. I read the screenplay, which details the travails of a pack of kids who deplane a not-long-for-this-world flight and subsequently find themselves stalked by some inexorable, lethal force. (Hate it when that happens.) Clever premise; flat execution, i deduce that New Line wants me for my intelligence. So I pen a treatise on the script's existentialist trappings—you know, equating the teens' mortal conflict with deified cosmic dread, their secular confusion with a spiritualized Barthesian calibration of the Other. "Yes!" 1 think to myself. "Shrine Auditorium,

here I come!" Detour. New Line doesn't care for my philosophical reading; "We need a young person like you to

sex it up," they explain. Hmm. Sexxxy. I determine to foist the sexiness 1 surely exude

onto Flight 180. Trimmed is a subplot involving the FBI! Slashed is a setpiece

sion between two principal players! And which' ending do I prefer—the gotcha, one-more-twist-ofthe-knife finale, or a more somber version? 1 opt for the latter, since, you know, contemplation's sexy, dude. Well, as it turns out, my revisions went largely unheeded. The FBI business figures prominently in the final version, the ending 1 liked didn't test well, and so an alternative conclusion was hastily shot

Erin Brockovich DIR! STEVEN SODERBERGH. WITH! JULIA ROBERTS, ALBERT FINNEY, AARON ECKHART, MAR 6 HEL6ENBERGER

GRAPE' Yqu think Julia Roberts

A-

can't act? Think

again.

In her much-heralded latest film by Steven Soderbergh, Erin Brockovich ,Roberts sports astounding cleavage, really big hair and a bad-ass attitude as a legal secretary who brings a corporate giant to its knee's.

In her new job, Brockovich happens on the case of a family that is being offered money for their house from a chemical company and finds out that the property has been poisoned. In addition to having a large chest—a fact pointed out time and again in the movie—Brockovitch turns out to be an excellent researcher who uncovers the background of the cover-up, gets all the families concerned to go to arbitration and holds the case together through various travails, Beyond having an uplifting—and true—story, Erin :

At the beginning of the movie, Brockovich is an out-of-luck single mother who loses her job, can't find a new one due to her lack of education and gets smashed in a car accident. When her lawyer proves unable to win her any money from the perpetrator of that accident, she pressures him into hiring her as an assistant.

PRETTY WOMAN: In Erin Brockovich, Roberts sports a daunting cleavage made possible by gravity-defying costume design.

two months ago; and, of course, the movie's been retitled. Also, and against my recommendation, the filmmakers reinstated a line about John Denver perishing in an aerial accident—one of his songs recurs throughout the film, you see, and I didn't think we needed to verbally overplay our hand. I had forgotten, naturally, that this is a horror movie, and lines such as "Didn't John Denver die in a plane crash like the rest of our classmates?" are downright subtle. But, you know, I'm wiser for the experience. Sexier, too. And how many people do you know who can claim to have worked on a film starring screen luminaries Devon Sawa and Ali barter? I'll say it again: Shrine Auditorium, here 1 comelQ

Brockovich succeeds because of Roberts’ acting, through playing off three of the most hated groups in the United States against each other and by bringing up a plethora of interesting and highly relevant issues. Some of these issues are education, sexism, citizenship and parenting. The movie does not force them on its audience but subtly introduces fairly sophisticated shades of problems. Throughout the film, lawyers have it out with insurance companies and big business. None of these groups are completely negative or positive—once again, the audience is presented with unexpected sophistication. But as noted and most importantly, Erin Brockovich lives off Roberts' spetacular performance. Alternately petulant, personable and provocative, the eponymous title character shows that even a single individual can make a difference, earn a living and feel good about herself in the bargain —By Norbert Schurer

Meanwhile, the University was desperately—and fruitlessly—searching for a place to put a coffeehouse. Crowell seemed ideal, but the Dope Shop, already lodged there, might have been endangered by the competition. Students were more excited about a new restaurant called the Rathskeller, and interest in the proposal dwindled. A month later, in August 1966, Jini Rambo got angry. One of the chief proponents of the coffeehouse proposal (and a bit of a radical), she decided that rather than wait for administrators, she would take her coffeehouse off campus. She planned to renovate an office building at 206 Milton St. off East Campus later that year. "We are not going to operate a beer joint," she told administrators. Still, her project was met with antagonism —and eventually failed. Later attempts were more successful —the Celestial Omnibus coffeehouse finally opened in the Flowers Building basement. Today, Duke boasts several coffee-

oriented hangouts, including the Alpine Atrium and The Perk. But none has stayed around as long as the Coffeehouse, started by a group of intrepid stu-

dents in 1981.

The Golden

Age

"The Coffeehouse belongs to all of us!" proclaims its first flier, dated September 29, 1981. Within months, murals sprang up on the brick walls. Couches were bought at garage sales and stuck next to donated tables and chairs. Organic food, an alternative to campus grub, was brought in on points. Poetry groups, open mic enthusiasts and local bands began to take to the Coffeehouse's tiny stage and rock the rickety floors. If there was one thing students didn't want their coffeehouse to be, it was quiet. Leafing through old notebooks reveals a myriad of popular groups: Chuck Jones and the Pravie Heads christened the Coffeehouse stage for its 19® opening, along with the Ugly Americans, a campus band that returned over twenty times before graduating. Jazz ensembles grooved every Tuesday, prompting study sessions with music by Brother Yusef and classical guitarist Jeff Gibbons. On Friday nights, the venue sometimes hosted fraternity parties, though the bashes soon stopped when frats got too crazy. In a journal entry from 1984, manager Amy Sherman wrote: "Kappa Sig party tonight" NEVER AGAIN. Puke in the toilets and beer cans every;

For over 20 years, the Duke Coffeehouse has been more than a place to get coffee—it's been a social and cultural alternative on Duke's otherwise homogenous campus. Before becoming the Coffeehouse, the back section of Crowell Hall on East Campus was passed back and forth by campus groups for over a century. Over the years, the space hummed with activity—functioning as a lab, a social space, a sorority house and even a post office, but the idea for a Coffeehouse has percolated since the '6os. With the Dope Shop firmly lodged in its bottom floor, Crowell looked like it was on the way to being a prime hangout... until its upper floors were condemned in 1960. A small fire in May 1974 made the building even

where. Gag!" While the West Campus social scene occasionally migrated to the Crowell building, the Coffeehouse attract# a more alternative crowd. "[The Coffeehouse] wasn't the center of the campus by any means," explains Dave Kliet

CHAOS AND DISORDER: Constant renovation characterizes the Coffeehouse's two-decade evolution. In the age of Starbucks, though, the coffee-making facilities seem pretty downbeat.

Trinity 'B3, a onetime manager of the Coffeehouse who's now a Florida priest. "It was a nice place for people to get together and have some music. At that time alternative was still an alternative. People wouldn't join fraternities or sororities." Instead, they would join the open mic night, "No Boundaries," that sprang up every Thursday. As employee Julian Martlew said later, "If you want to get up there in a tutu, you can." Fortunately, patrons declined that dare, reading instead from Caryl Churchill's play Cloud Nine or strumming out some Dylan. Open mic nights started out small, with 20 to 30 people, said Klier. "The Coffeehouse was more [for] artsy people. West Campus was for fraternities and sororities and East Campus was for us. It was all upperclassmen then. Epworth was very supportive of the Coffeehouse; it was their baby. And Project Wild people hung out there." So did the occasional celebrity. After a talk in 1984, author Abby Hoffman came by and had a cup of joe. Playwright Tom Stoppard (Arcadia, Shakespeare in Love) stopped by in 1987. And Beck graced the stage in the early '9os. "The people that were running the Coffeehouse then —they knew their shit," said Allan Stevens, the Coffeehouse's current co-manager. "They booked Beck when he was still a nobody, and between the time they booked him and the time he played here, 'Loser' came out on MTV.... There were apparently people trying to climb in the windows, trying to get in." Adding to the popularity of the hangout was an article in Rolling Stone, featuring pictures of the Coffeehouse walls, covered as usual in graffiti and art. The article featured Jeremy Steckler '96, whose tenure oversaw shows by Blues Traveler, Rusted Root, Superchunk and Fugazi

The Dark

Ages

But things almost fell apart in 1996, when Jason Kale Rice, co-manager of the Coffeehouse, broke into the cash register and stole almost $2,000. He was arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and cocaine. He was later convicted and sentenced to 100 hours of community service and a rehab program. The next three years brought few programming innovations, and the Coffeehouse's popularity started to dwindle. "We've had some very lean years, the past three or four years," Stevens said. "When East Campus was turned into a freshman campus, we had to start out from scratch every year, because our freshmen clientele was not inclined to come back. People aren't in the

building on a regular basis any more.... And the people that were running it before me—well, we hadn't really innovated as much we should have to respond to the changing campus." Still, people talk about the place. It's rumored that the Beatles played there, that it used to be a crack house, that a long time ago, it was the place to be. A current freshman remarked, "I've never been to the Coffeehouse. Actually, none of my friends have ever been, either. 1 know there's some cool stuff going on there, but I've never checked it out. You should talk to someone who's there a lot—try the guys in Beta."

The Renaissance Some of today's "cool stuff" includes two successful shows by campus band Mojo Train, Wendell Theatre's soldout run of The Heidi Chronicles and appearances by Hot Water Music and the Southern Groove Society. On Valentine's Day, the Coffeehouse hosted Freewater's showing of Casablanca. Every other Thursday, the Coffeehouse gets transformed into The Blue Roach, where would-be poets can mingle with an accomplished artist and try out their own works too. The Blue Roach has been so well-publicized that the crowd usually includes several Durhamites mingling with the students. The two most popular events by far have been Hookah Night and Club eXodus, a semi-regular rave. "A Pakistani student contacted me with this idea to bring hookahs into the Coffeehouse and rent them out," Stevens said. "We put that on the same night as an acoustic music series, and now that's also becoming a really popular event." Club eXodus has been a huge success, bringing in as many as 270 people—far too many for the Coffeehouse to hold. Want to check it out for yourself? The fourth Coffeehouse rave of the semester is scheduled for tonight. And people do just come and hang out at the Coffeehouse. On weeknights, music quietly pulses as regulars sip and study. Then, on the weekends, the tables and chairs are pushed back and patrons dance with wild abandon. Everyone is friendly, laid back and very proud of their place on East. In the words of Dave Klier, one of the first Coffeehouse managers, "It was the first place on campus where 1 really felt like I had a community. The Coffeehouse was my place to be free."

CHANGING WITH THE TIMES: B the 1980s, left, the Coffeehouse h punk and metal bands and even itself the Kafehaus. Nowadays, rr electronic music provides a big d at weekly raves.

Michael Jordan’s latest restaurant venture, 23, has ultra-hip, trendy decor and fantastic appetizers. Unfortunately, it’s largely downhill from there. grits for the full effect, or, if you want to get your protein in early, get the barbecued rabbit served over grits. Neither one will disappoint. There's also the option of black bean soup or a soup of the day (they didn't tell us what it was), several salads, or a reasonably priced menu of side dishes (including magnificent mashed sweet potatoes and fairly interesting onion rings) to start things off.

23 could have been a champ. The presentation of each item was fun, from the trampolinelike bread basket to the colorful, arty layout of the rabbit plate, and the quality of the food was exceptional. Other than at Crook's, there isn't any food like this in Chapel Hill. When the entrees came along, things fell apart in a hurry. The Delmonico steak —at a lavish $26.50—was riddled with fat and uninspiringly presented next to a lump of only-adequate mashed potatoes. The balsamic ginger marinade had a fine, tangy flavor, but it couldn't salvage the substandard

cut of meat. The chicken, a seasoned half-chicken coupled with grilled zucchini and mashed potatoes, was problem-free, but for $16.00, a few minutes at Kroger and a mediocre cookbook could have produced a whole chicken and left money for dessert. While the first two entrees merely failed to impress, the Macadamian sturgeon, served atop a roast

lonely bed of sauteed onions and slathered ina wine cream sauce, had an awful, gelatinous consistency and weak flavor. Worse, the apparent undercooking made one of my guests sick

almost immediately. 23 saved some face with the dessert. "Coffee and donuts," a concoction of three homemade donut holes resting in a cappuccino cream sauce, coupled with a coffee cup full of chocolate mousse, was a fun, delicious novelty. The restaurant also takes an interesting twist with traditional apple crisp, placing a neat pile of fresl apples, cinnamon pastry and cinnamon ice cream inside a shell of dried apples. This restaurant seems to function best as a date place—stylish, upscale and trendy, with interesting menu and conversation-worthy decor. The service is also friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. For people who are serious about their food, though, the dinner's very, veil mixed results make 23 less than recommendable. To be safe, try it at lunch before you risk dinner. But as with Jordan's Tar Heels themselves, maybe this is just an inconsistent year—the place just opened in December. Si we bet a future "31" in Durham could havei best of this place any day.Q

Like one of his patented slam-dunks, you can be sure that Michael Jordan's new 23 restaurant in Chapel Hill has plenty of style. Unlike His Airness, though, the place is totally lacking in consistency. Even from the outside, 23’s glass-walled lot at the corner of Franklin and Church streets screams hipness. Despite the obvious association to Jordan, and the intrusive presence of a gift shop, 23 is far from a sports bar. The menu and decor are well-suited to compete with upscale, trendy spots like Pyewacket and Brightleaf 905; if you want to watch the game, you're better off elsewhere. The interior is a compelling mix of minimalist art-deco elegance mutated with a surprisingly classy basketball motif. The tables —black, glossy numbers with no tablecloths—sit in a wide circle around a giant basketball hoop mounted in the ceiling, complete with a floorto-ceiling net made of metal cable. The interior walls have portholes that house Jordan memorabilia from old shoes to his diploma to a complete transcript (sorry, no grades). 23's menu is a fairly-well rounded mix of southern-eclectic and contemporary American fare. At least two of the appetizers—ranging in price from about $5 to $9.50 —use grits in some way, and their creamy, smooth consistency is incredibly appealing. Try the wild mushroom

Tandy Cronyn and the

PlayMakers do justice to the Pulitzer-prize winning play Wit.

By Alexandra Wolfe

The Play Makers' rendition of Margaret Edson'sW/f makes its strongest emotional impact after the play is over—the audience bursts into tears when actress Tandy Cronyn comes out to take a bow. Until this moment, protagonist Dr. Vivian Bearing (Cronyn) is somewhat intimidating and commands nothing but respect from her audience. Bearing is dying from cancer, yet she never lets her guard down, always keeps her composure and covers up any signs of weakness with clever witticisms. Her denial of the situation keeps her viewers at enough distance to stop them from becoming emotionally involved. But once Cronyn is out of character, this barrier is removed, the denial no longer works and the issues suddenly become much more real, releasing a flood of tears. Wit presents the trials and tribulations of Bearing, a professor of 17th-century English poetry diagnosed with ovarian cancer. A rigorous scholar, Bearing has spent her life defining herself through her intelligence and strength. She has mastered John Donne's most complex poetry and taught the most demanding courses—but all the while exempted herself from any personal relationships because she believes she can find happiness in words alone. Now, she must come to terms with her own fate The drama is literally set on a stage of words: Donne's poetry is printed on the the floor and reflected on to a huge mullioned pane going upwards diagonally from the stage. A rectangle in the center of the floor opens as-the scenes progress, and through it rise different articles of furniture. This single set, representing the University Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center, is intensified by Mary Louise Geiger's lighting and Melissa Marquis' sound, whose effects shadow Bearing's fluctuating and intense emotions. 9 Bearing is surrounded by a small cast of peripheral fcharacters. Attending her in the hospital is research::

oriented Dr. Jason Posner, whose lax bedside manner is effectively portrayed by Jeffrey Blair Cornell. Cornell's unchanging intonations in response to Bearing's cancer earn the hatred of the audience. The only character the audience truly sympathizes other than Bearing herself is nurse Susie Monahan (Ka Hunter Williams). Monahan is the play's most compassi character and, through her empathy and mother-like m proves to Bearing as well as the audience through her ei er-like nurturing that intelligence and terminology are no long run. Although at times Williams exaggerates her ch; making the text seem trite and hackneyed, she does pi contrast to the doctor and his dramatically lackadaisical ei Yet in spite of these characters' presence, Wit is a show. Wearing a night gown and a red cap to cover he taining her dignity through the vigor and sharpness of the audience to deal with fleeting mortality and the Cronyn by herself who makes Margaret Edson's Wit and sentimental production, bringing to life Donne's p<

'N Sync try to grow up on their new album, but get stuck in musical puberty.

W Syne or

Stin? By Rob Kelley

SAY CHEESE!: 'N Sync doesn't really look like this picture any more, but they were too cheap to send us an updated photo of their "dirty pop" look, so we ran this cheesy-ass pic of them, instead.

Brassic Beats USA

Compilations are usually a mixed bag. They Various Artists collect dust in most (skint) record stores. They're GRADE: notorious for their primarily promotional nature And when you pick one up and read the track listing, it's kind of like reading a restaurant

menu—some of the selections look good, while others are just plain nasty. Brassic Beats USA, a 70-plus .„c«srnnr» minute compilation of twelve BUk^ B|lS BRASStC dance songs from the British T'xv label Skint, pretty much fits this hit-or-miss formula. As far as V dance music is concerned, Skint has been a major player. Big-beat bv v - ' progenitor Fatboy Slim was the label's first successful act, while the Lo Fidelity Allstars have achieved international success with their anthemic dance cuts and quirky dialogue sampling. Both acts supply some of the best moments on this collection, with Fatboy Slim’s "Sho Muff" and Lo Fidelity's "Puppy Phat Number One." The disc's surprise achievement is, perhaps, its most stripped-down offering—a song called "Train Jam" by Req, one of Skint's finest producers. "Train Jam" cuts through the compiicated miasma that electronics often tends toward, discarding the characteristic fuzz and squeals for a simple drum sequence, coupled with some equally simple guitar licks. It's refreshing to hear a song of such minimalism amidst a collection of musical concoctions that are, at times, excessively baroque in their compositions. Ultimately, Brassic Beats USA offers an impressively diverse array of different club sounds. While such stylistic eclecticism exhibits the label's strength, it's also the reason why listeners will be inclined to skip many of the songs on the CD. There's no consistent mood or quality to '

cling to, the mixed-bag syndrome that afflicts so many otherwise strong compilation albums —By Kevin Pride

people believe that the quality of music is inversely related to the state of the economy. According to that theory, when we're struggling to make ends meet, our society produces music that expresses hardship and clamors for a change. When times are good, we make music that celebrates the status quo and, hence, pushes no boundaries. Well, times are as good as they've ever been, and 'N Sync are back with another CD that says absolutely nothing about anything. It seems that 'N Sync themselves are aware of this extremely bland state of American popular music (a state to which they contributed greatly with their debut album, 'N Sync). On their new album, No Strings Attached, they take some conscious steps to distance themselves from 98 Degrees, Christina Aguilera and archrivals the Backstreet Boys. Too bad they just don't have the talent to pull it off. The boys from ‘N Sync say that they had a lot more creative input into No Strings Attached than their first album. By throwing in a healthy dose of hip-hop influences, they manage to define themselves as a boy band with an attitude.The first single. "Bye Bye Bye." struts along with a funky rhythm and edgy lyrics like, "probably gonna start a fight." A fight? If they do, they'll have the help of Atlanta's most famous singer/arsonist, Left Eye of TLC, who appears on "Space Cowboy (Yippie-Yi-Yah)." Left Eye's rap is one of the highlights of the album. Nothing on the Backstreet Boys' Millenium sounds as good as this song pumping out of a car with a good system. BBSsa However, the rest of the song has more in common with Vanilla Ice than Eminem, proving that five pretty white boys ; can't just go hip-hop overnight. Another of the best moments of the CD occurs during one of its worst songs, "Digital Getdown." Once you ignore their plea to "get together on the digital screen, the frantic drum loop builds to an almost jungle-like complexity (although the crackling sounds of a modem connecting ruin the moment). Two songs that see 'N Sync scaling back their ambitions are potential megabits While boasting a rough, passionate vocal, "It's Gonna Be Me" perfectly pulls off the 'Bos retro sound that carried Britney Spears to superstardom. Slowing things down a bit, the boys bring back memories of Wham! with the delicate "I'll Be Go< For You." For all of their efforts to introduce some individuality to the record, it is the superior production that carries No Strings Attached. Each song is well-crafted, creating a mature sound that sometimes compensates for the band's god-awful lyrics. Unfortunately, the boys decide to throw out all production and end the a5 album with an a capella song, "I Thought She Knew," that exposes their voices solid but unspectacular. No Strings Attached doesn't contain any timeless songs like Backstreet's "I Want That Way," and it doesn't live up to its ambitious goals. Still, it's a perfect album foft times —lush, syrupy and rich. Even though everyone will be embarassed to have bought this CD in a couple of years, we'll probably still be humming 'N Sync's new batch of tunes as long as Top 40 radio continues to play it.n

Aiming to reduce gun violence Congress explores stronger enforcement measures to prevent firearm crimes Commentary William Raspberry The trouble, the WASHINGTON National Rifle Association has been telling us, is not the absence of new guncontrol legislation, but the federal gov-

ernment’s failure to prosecute under existing legislation.

Indeed, that was burden of NRA Vice

President Wayne LaPierre’s intemperate' blood-on-President-Bill-Clinton’s-

hands remarks of last week. The accusation usually is accompanied by references to Richmond, Va.’s Project Exile, a program under which firearms offenders—including drug users, felons, carriers of illegal guns and gun carriers who have been convicted of domestic violence—are prosecuted in federal rather than state courts, where sentences and bail bond requirements tend to be tougher. The NRA—and other advocates of a citizen’s right to bear arms—say Project Exile has significantly reduced Richmond’s homicide rate. I don’t know if that’s true or not. What interests me for now is what happened in Congress this week. Democrats have offered legislation to boost federal enforcement of the gun laws by hiring new federal agents and prosecutors and creating a national database of“ballistic fingerprints.” In effect, the proposal calls the NRA’s bet—and raises it substantially. This NRA wants enforcement? The proposal would add 1,000 local prosecutors and

100 federal prosecutors to handle gun enforcement. Gun advocates want to make it tougher on criminals who use guns? The national registry of firearms “fingerprints”—unique barrel markings—would make it easier to link specific crimes to particular weapons. In addition, the packet ofbills referred to as ENFORCE would fund “smart gun” technology that prevents weapons from being fired by anyone except their owners. It will be interesting to see what LaPierre and NRA President Charlton Heston have to say now. As for Richmond’s Project Exile, it’s hard to know how much, if any, of the reduction in the city’s homicide count can be attributed to it. For instance, one time period that saw a 27 percent drop in homicides also saw a 24 percent reduction in aggravated assaults, a 19 percent decline in violent crime generally and a 17 percent drop in rapes. As with the recent national decline in criminal violence, local officials tend to credit whatever it is they are doing, be it community policing in Indianapolis or gettough enforcement in New York City. The Richmond experience also raises the question of why federal courts should be the venue offirst resort in gun cases. The pragmatic answer is that a gun violation that might result in probation or a few months in jail in a state court will bring a sentence of five years in a federal court. But federal judges aren’t crazy about the idea of their courts being swamped by relatively petty criminal offenses normally tried by state courts. No matter. The legislation offered this week by Sen. Charles Schumer,DN.Y. and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., (they were joined by Rep. Carolyn

McCarthy, the New York Democrat whose husband was killed by a gunman on a Long Island commuter train) takes the NRA’s contentions about Project Exile at face value. Instead of arguing the weaknesses and uncertainties of the approach, they say, in effect, bring it on. Will the NRA’s response merely be partisan? After all, much of the new legislative

David Margolis APRIL 17, 2000, MONTPELIER, Vt. Yesterday, the Governor approved a bill that would give same-sex couples more than 300 rights and benefits that had previously been available only to heterosexual married partners. The bill, which was passed by the state house on March 16, is being blamed for wanton destruction and mayhem all across the countryside as a host of plagues of Biblical proportion battered the Green Mountain State. All over the sleepy, picturesque streets of Bennington and Woodstock, married men and women abandoned their children and fornicated with strangers. “Our marriage vows are meaningless now!” said Mary Smith, who was standing in line at a Brattleboro pawn shop, one of many Vermonters attempting to hock their wedding rings. “I’m going to spend all my money at an Indian casino, or maybe I’ll build a small hydroponic farm in my basement for my marij uana plants,” she added, “This new law completely negated my love for my wife of 15 years and my three school-aged children. Im having the time of my life!” said Hany Von bloneker, a 39-year-old man who was cavorting in a Montpelier fountain with two naked high school football players. Marshall Evanston, a professor of sociology at the University of Vermont, observed that, “the state govern ment has just destroyed the institution of marnage, and I fear that we may never recover from this

depravity.”

additional federal agents are earmarked for “zero tolerance” measures to keep guns out ofthe hands of violent felons. One sticky point could be the part of the package that calls for 500 new agents and inspectors for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, an

The beginning of this column was brought to you by the radical religious right. Apparently, they believe that the “institution” of marriage is under direct assault by the forces of the “radical gay agenda.” When gays and lesbians are allowed to marry, it will most certainly discredit the sanctity of existing covenants between husbands and wives. And because heterosexual marriage is the glue that holds families together, banning gay and lesbian unions will ensure that the foundation of our society will be preserved into the future. And without families, there will be no building blocks for the city on the hill. I think that I have accurately restated the arguments against gay marriage. Maybe I do not have it correct. It sounds so ridiculous that I cannot really imagine anyone being convinced by it. But still, I imagine that the majority of Americans fall in this category, considering that most people are opposed to allowing gay and lesbian marriage. We are, of course, citizens of a country that, since 1996, has legal protections for marriage by defining a marriage based on what genders spouses should be. Even President Bill Clinton and Vice President A1 Gore, two politicians who are repeatedly accused of being ultra-liberals by the right, have made countless statements in opposition to permitting homosexual marriage. (Incidentally, this confirms my suspicion that the two of them must read a poll over bowls of Cheerios every morning.) To counter the government’s definition, I think that I will present my own views. In two senses, marriage is a contract between two people. They are legally bound together in a civil union that grants them special status for a myriad of official purposes, such as taxes, the census and estate law. These are the important civil and financial rights that are denied many gays and lesbians and denies them many protections that would be their right if they would only decide to love the “right” type of people. In this light, the

it?

Defense of Marriage Act is like a national Jim Crow law, denying civil rights to citizens based solely on a personal characteristic. In a second sense, married couples are bound together in an avowed relationship of mutual love, respect and support. Why this element of marriage should be restricted only to heterosexuals is beyond me. It seems like everyone is capable of holding one person dear in their hearts —no matter what gender they are—and clearly that fact can be sworn to by both individuals. If a couple, same-sex or oppositesex, wishes to proclaim their love in a court or a church, they should be allowed—because both types of union can be considered to be “marriage” in both senses of the word. To do otherwise would be contrary to human nature and contrary to the spirit of the Constitution.

Many members of the University community who agree with me are still frustrated with Duke’s continuing prohibition of same-sex unions in the Chapel, rules that bar loving gay and lesbian couples from holding their ceremonies in the sanctuary of the most prominent building on campus. This policy is inconsistent with the University’s policies regarding equal financial support for partners regardless oftheir sexuality, not to mention the University’s stated policy of discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. In my view, it would not be harmful to the grand tradition ofholding marriage ceremonies in the ornate and magnificent building because a same-sex union is effectively the same as a heterosexual one. Furthermore, because the current practices are so inconsistent with the spirit of our legal traditions and also, basic common sense, it may actually be more harmful to the institution of marriage to permit these policies to continue. David Margolis is a Trinity 1 senior.

ters ofcell biology and an increased emphasis on taking physics during the junior year—made it more difficult for students to spend a semester at the Marine Lab. “I’m a biology major going pre-med, which I think is a drawback because Beaufort’s schedule doesn’t really fit with the requirements,” said Trinity sophomore Chevon Haswell. “It almost seems like the program was geared towards graduate biology students.” In response to these criticisms and at the behest of a task force, Marine Lab administrators have begun changing their programs. Physics will be offered at Beaufort this summer and perhaps in the fall. More broadly, the Beaufort program will begin to concentrate on the “so what?” questions resulting from science. The directors of the program want to create more integrated courses in addition to its single-discipline based classes.

The latter will be team taught with faculty from Durham and Beaufort. In making the changes, lab officials considered the effect of the entering freshman class. “As the Curriculum 2000 requirements go into effect next fall, we are trying to see if the lab’s courses can fulfill the student’s needs,” Corliss explained. With the careful review of the lab’s program resulting in alterations and new additions to the course list, Orbach said he hopes to see continued interest in this “intimate environment where students grow close and are willing to give assistance to one another.”

The fourth-seeded Illini, who took Duke to the wire in November and reached the finals of the Big 10 tourney, saw a running and pressing squad that played nine men at least 15 minutes in Sunday’s second-round matchup. They lost to a team that scored 53 second-half points Sunday, shooting 54 percent and forcing nine turnovers. But if they face the same Florida team Butler did, the Blue Devils should waltz into their third straight Elite Eight. The 12th-seeded Bulldogs took on a team that needed two missed free throws and an off-balance, buzzer-beating shot to prevent what would’ve been the biggest upset of the first round. When AP voters ranked the Gators seventh in the preseason, they likely envisioned the team that dispatched Illinois by 17 points Sunday. But enough performances like the one against Butler dropped Florida to the fifth seed in the East Region. The Gators lost two of their last three regular-season games and went See

Hometown boy makes good: Amaker, Seton Hall in Sweet 16 By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

Not too long before ESPN’s Gary Miller was chasing down Tommy Amaker to see if he could fit a 15-minute one-on-one for Up Close into his busy schedule, Seton Hall’s third-year coach was learning the art of patience. Content as an assistant at his alma mater, Amaker patiently hung around Duke and waited for the right head coaching opportunity to present itself. The wait lasted for nine seasons, until a small school from New Jersey fresh off its worst season in 12 years came knocking on his door. After more than a decade of success under the helm of P.J. Carlesimo, the Seton Hall Pirates had taken a steady turn for the worse under George Blaney. When the Pirates’ win total declined to 10 in 1997, the time was right for new leadership—the time was right for Tommy Amaker. Amaker quickly righted a sinking Seton Hall program, as he guided the Pirates from a 22-34 record the previous two years to .500 marks in each of his first two seasons. But Amaker knew that his two NIT appearances would only buy him time; they wouldn’t suffice much longer with a boosters foundation that had been within a single point of a national championship under Carlesimo. Then came the run of 2000. Mentioned only as an afterthought Big behind East powerhouses Connecticut, St. John’s and Syracuse, the Pirates stunned the mainstays with a sizzling 18-3 start to the season that propelled them into their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1994.

Following a last-second win over Oregon in the first round, Seton Hall pulled a stunning upset over second-

seeded Temple without Pirate star point guard Shaheen Holloway. For the first time since 1992, Seton Hall tasted the sweetness of an appearance in the NCAA regional semifinals. “He looked cool, calm and collected on the bench, but I was going to ask if his armpits were a little wet,” Mike Krzyzewski said of his former point guard and assistant coach. “But I’m sure that’s why his team played so well, because of his coolness on the bench. Tm really proud of him and happy for him. What a great story. That’s one of the great stories of the tournament, is the job he’s done in those two games.” Once Duke had survived an upset bid by Kansas last Sunday, Krzyzewski took time out to call and congratulate the man with whom the Blue Devil coach shared 13 of his first 17 seasons at Duke. Last weekend’s two victories—Amaker’s first two NCAA tournament games as a head coach—have suddenly made the youthful coach a budding celebrity, but neither win came without suspense. Both games went to overtime, and it took a miraculous length-of-the-court drive with 1.7 seconds remaining by Holloway to upend Oregon 71-70 in the first round. When Holloway was forced to watch most of the game against Temple from a wheelchair after tearing a ligament in his left ankle, Seton Hall’s chances looked slim-to-none against the highly ranked Owls. But a new star emerged as Ty Shine played ringleader to a three-point parade that saw the little-known guard knock down seven treys, including the game-winning long ball with 18 seconds left in overtime. “For them to beat Temple without Holloway, it tells me that Seton Hall basketball is back with Tommy

THE WAY WE WERE: Seton Hall coach Tommy Amaker as Mike Krzyzewski’s floor general. Amaker spent nine years on Krzyzewski’s bench before becoming head coach of the Pirates.

Michigan State squeezes Orange in 2nd half

By HARRY ATKINS Associated Press

75 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. A halftime tirade by Syracuse 58 Mateen Cleaves got Michigan State turned around and kept the Spartans on track for a second straight trip to the Final Four. The top-seeded Spartans, trailing by as many as 14, roared back to beat Syracuse 75-58 last night in the Midwest Regional semifinals, scoring 17 straight points over the last 5:54. “I had to pick up the pieces at halftime when I got to the locker room,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “Mateen did most of the challenging. He did a heck of a job in talking to them. He helps do my job when Fm not there.” Cleaves, who returned for his senior year with the express hope of winning a national championship, felt the Spartans were rushing their shots, not sticking with what they had done in practice. “At halftime, I didn’t think we were playing hard,” Cleaves said. “I don’t mind guys missing shots. I don’t mind if things aren’t going right. But if you’re not playing hard, then I’m going to get in your face.” The Spartans (29-7) will play lowa State (32-4) tomorrow night for a trip to the Final Four in Indianapolis.

NCAA West: Purdue, Wisconsin to meet in B ig 10 tourney rematch From wire reports

Most would Purdue 75 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. say that Purdue plays an ugly brand of Gonzaga 66 basketball. Its best player is perhaps more well-known for his receding hairline and pugnacious attitude than his skills on the court. But there are no style points in the NCAA Tournament. And say what you will about the Purdue Boilermakers, they’re still playing. The Boilermakers’ defense took the flash out of Gonzaga’s three-point game and pounded the offensive glass to advance to tomorrow’s West Region championship game by brushing aside the Zags, 75-66, last night before 16,004 in The Pit. Sixth-seeded Purdue moved into the Elite Eight for the first time since 1994. “We played with a lot of intensity,” said Gene Ready, who is one victory from coaching in his first Final Four in his 20th season with the Boilermakers. “We did the job on the boards and just hung on.” The Boilermakers outrebounded Gonzaga 44-33 overall. They snatched 20 misses off the offensive glass and converted them into 23 points and, at the same time, slammed the door on the Zags’ three-point attack. Gonzaga’s tournament run was stopped one game shy of a second consecutive appearance in the regional championship game.

“Offensive rebounding has been one of our strengths all year long,” said Purdue forward Brian Cardinal, who led a group effort with eight boards and 10 points. “We know that we have an edge on most teams. If we establish our rebounding game, it helps our total offense and that helps our defense. ‘This is a great feeling. We’ve worked awfully hard to get to where we are now. It’s amazing to be only 40 minutes away from going home to Indianapolis and, hopefully, we can do it. We can’t control whether our shots go in or not, but the one thing we can control is how hard we play. And Saturday, one thing we’ll do is play as hard as we can.”

Purdue shook off an early 10-0 run by the Zags and came from 13-10 down little more than six minutes into the game to a 30-17 lead with 5:03 to play in the half.

Once the Boilermakers got the lead, they held it through their tenacity on the glass and on the perimeter. Gonzaga shot almost 45 percent from beyond the arc in tournament victories against Louisville and St. John’s. The Zags converted only 5-of-20 three-point attempts Thursday night, and Purdue matched that while limiting Zags guards Matt Santangelo (l-for-7) and Richie Frahm (l-for-6) to 2-for-13 shooting from long distance. ‘They do it so much differently than most teams,” Santangelo said. ‘They’re not like St. John’s, who forces you into 30 turnovers and beats you by 40. They rebound the heck out ofit and contest every shot you take and beat you by 10 or 12. From a physical standpoint, that is as good a defense as we’ve seen all year.” Gonzaga did make things interesting after falling behind 56-39 some 11 minutes into the second half. The Zags came to 61-53 after an 8-0 run with 3:37 remaining, but Purdue ran off six unanswered points. “Well, it was one heck of a ride once again,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. ‘This group never ceases to amaze me [with] what they are able to accomplish. If you’d told us at the start of the year we’d be sitting here after losing a game in the Sweet 16, most people would not have befieved it. “We lost to a very good basketball team tonight. We talked about being the most physical team and for one reason we just didn’t get it done. We ran off seven or eight wins in a row where we outrebounded our opponent decisively, but tonight they really handed it to us,” Wisconsin 61, LSU 48 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Wisconsin is still winning ugly, with the plodding but productive Badgers beating LSU 61-48 last night to make it an all Big-Ten final in the West Regional. The Badgers (21-13) will meet Purdue (24-9) tomr-

row for a spot in the Final Four. The Boilermakers beat

Gonzaga 75-66 in the other semifinal. Coupled with Michigan State’s win over Syracuse in the Midwest, the Big 10 has three teams in the final eight. Jon Bryant led Wisconsin with 16 points. Stromile Swift and Jabari Smith each scored 12 for LSU (28-6). LSU, which used its speed and frontline duo of Swift and Smith to beat Southeast Missouri State and Texas in the first two rounds, hit a wall against a Wisconsin team that forced its deliberate, halfcourt offense and man defense on the frustrated Tigers. The 48 points were the fewest scored by LSU this season. The previous low was 57 in a loss to Florida in January.

Wisconsin scored the final 11 points of the first half to take a 22-14 lead. LSU went scoreless over the final 5:03. Wisconsin took twice as many shots as LSU in the first halfand the Tigers had as many turnovers as points. LSU finished with 23 turnovers to Wisconsin’s nine. It got uglier in the second, half. An offensive rebound basket by Lament Rolanc got LSU within 26-18, but the Badgers used a 10-0 run to take a 36-18 lead with 13:44 left. Bryants three-pointer got the run going and Duany Duanys three-pointer ended it. Bryant also scored on a layup and Maurice Linton added a jumper from just inside the arc. Wisconsin advanced despite missing 18 of its first 23 shots and shooting 38 percent. But while the Badgers were having trouble scoring in the game s first 15 minutes, LSU was having a difficult time holding onto the ball. The turnovers also kept the ball away from Swift and Smith, the Tigers’ leading scorers. The pair got just three shots between them in the first half and Swift finished with just five shots. Swift’s only attempt in the first half was a threepointer for the game’s first field goal with 17:36ft to play.

The Tigers have not had a player off the bench play for more than 14 minutes in their last three games. Duke’s matchup zone should find some success against an LSU squad that’s not entirely fond of outside shooting.
