Administrators are still searching for the place to put the runoff when Duke drains the Ocean’s 450 parking spaces in May to make way for a flood of construction equipment and personnel for work on the new dorm. They have all but settled that all undergraduate parking will move to the lots along Wannamaker Drive, which will be gated, monitored and patrolled. But where to put the hundreds of employees who normally park in those lots, currently zoned RT, has become the real issue. Even if officials come to the unlikely decision of dedicating the Cameron Indoor Stadium lot and parallel spots along Towerview to employees, several hundred will still need to be accommodated elsewhere. “We have multiple options,” said Joe Pietrantoni, vice president for auxiliary services. “Where could we develop parking lots strategically for the long range plan? How does that fit into the master plan?” After sorting through several ideas, administrators See PARKING on page

The University has named 29year-old Bruce Seltzer to a two-year term as the Freeman Center for Jewish Life’s first rabbi and assistant director, CJL Director Roger Kaplan announced yesterday. “During college, when I was working very hard to build a Jewish community on campus, I realized I wanted to become a rabbi and be on campus,” Seltzer said. “It’s a very important age group when people form their identity and can be shaped for the rest of their lives.” Seltzer will be ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary in May and will come to the University with his wife Deborah and 21-month-old son Zev in July. He worked for the Hillel chapter at Drew University for too years and at Hofstra University f°r one. While an undergraduate at Kranklin and Marshall College, Seltzer was Hillel chapter president!

Group drafts changes to event policy By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle If a series of 33 recently proposed changes to the student event policy is

enacted, the University could undergo a serious change in social life, including an end of quad-sponsored and commons room parties.

The Event Policy Review Committee, composed of 13 officials in student affairs, auxiliary services and police, proposed that commons rooms only be used for small events and that University funding—including house dues—no longer be used for alcohol. The committee is now soliciting student input and eventually make recommendations to Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson. “The purpose of this suggestion is to eliminate the role of the University in the collection of money used to purchase alcohol,” said committee chair Melinda Bolger Roper, assistant dean ofUniversity Life- “Instead, student groups

would have to ‘pass the hat’ to collect

money to buy kegs.” Students—who were not included on the committee that drafted the recom-

mendations—argue that prohibiting University money from being spent on alcohoi will drive the social scene undercover. Do y°u think individual students will be able to scrape together $l5O for a keg t at Du kel when you can go off campus and buy a keg for 70 bucks?” asked Trinity junior Sonny Caberwal, a founder ofStudents To Unite Duke. The committee also suggested that any events involving alcohol, even those “

not distributing it, be registered with the Event Advising Center. “We’re talking more about what would be understood as a party,” Roper said. “It’s not 10 people getting together to watch a Monday night TV show.” Assistant Dean of Student Development Deb Lo Biondo, a committee member, explained that registering events would make administrators more aware of on-campus happenings.

“Ideally, we’d like to know what all is going on from a programmatic standpoint in the residence halls...”she said, “If we know what’s going on, we can better meet the needs of students.” Despite the stricter regulations, Roper stressed that the committee did not want to make Duke a dry campus, “The elimination ofalcohol from campus is not the goal here...,” she said,

Senate rejects ban on flag desecration The proposed constitutional amendment fell just short in a 63-37 vote By JIM ABRAMS Associated Press

A proposed

WASHINGTON

constitutional amendment

on flag

desecration was narrowly defeated in the Senate Wednesday, with opponents arguing that the protection of free speech rights outweigh the need to ban unsavory acts against the flag. The 63-37 vote, four short ofthe two-thirds majority needed, put to rest for another year an issue that has been a top agenda item since Republicans took control of Congress in 1995. The amendment, proposed by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, consist-

ed of one sentence: “Congress shall have the power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.” The flag is “not just a piece of cloth or a symbol,” Hatch argued, “It is the embodiment of our heritage, our liberties and indeed our sovereignty as a nation.” “Flag-burning is not speech, it is conduct of the most offensive kind,” said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. The amendment grew out of 5-4 Supreme Court decisions in 1989 and 1990 that struck down state and national flag desecration laws on the grounds they

weakened First Amendment rights to free speech. The House has approved flag desecration amendments three times since 1995, most recently by a 305-124 vote last year.

Constitutional

amendments

also must be ratified by threequarters of state legislatures, a near certainty in this case because 49 states have passed resolutions urging Congress to send them a flag amendment. But supporters have failed to overcome free speech concerns in the Senate. During the last vote, in 1995, proponents fell three short of the two-thirds majority.

Deans distribute Early acceptees form online network the dormitory survey By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

students living in dorms and Central Campus apartments to participate in a national survey about their residential experience.

“What we’re trying to do is to solicit feedback regarding students’ level of satisfaction on campus,” said Dean ofStudent Development and Residential Education Barbara Baker. The last time the Office of Student Development surveyed students about their experience living on campus was during the 1997-98 school year. However, previous surveys were homegrown and Duke-specific. ‘This is a survey that is being administered at other colleges and universities across the country,” said Baker. “Hence it [will not only] allow us to get our information back, but it will also give us an opportunity to benchmark against other institutions.” The Duke survey will be compared to results from peer institutions, as well as to national averages. The surveys were handed out to dorm residents a week ago by resident advisors, and should be returned to RAs by tomorrow. Central Campus surveys were distributed by mail, and should be returned to the Central Campus service office. Several of the questions deal with alcohol and drug consumption. Although Baker said the University was surveying alcohol use through several other means, she hopes that the results ofthis project could be instructive to the task force recently formed under Vice President for Student Affairs Janet Dickerson. David Butler, director of the national survey, thought students would respond honestly to questions about their alcohol consumption. “Students have nothing to gain or lose by answering this question correctly,” he said. “My experience is that students are overwhelmingly straightforward on a survey like this.” Even though the survey is national, the last 10 questions are Duke specific. Printed on a separate sheet of paper, they were added by OSD officials to probe issues such as community standards and security, as well as to determine the effectiveness ofthe quad councils, facilities and other student services.

From the first day they arrive on East Campus, freshmen are confronted with new challenges

and obstacles. Ascending from high school to college presents these students with an array of new places and new people and a new way of life. However, by starting an online network of fellow early-decision admittees, Mike Sacks, a senior at the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, has taken a step to make the social transition easier. Shortly after receiving his acceptance letter in the mail, Sacks gathered e-mail addresses and America Online Instant Messenger names of admitted early decision candidates and used them to establish the network. Currently, this network is composed of 52 pre-freshman who are constantly looking for new names. Talking daily with one another over the Internet has helped many of these students to make friends within their class without setting foot on the Duke Campus. The initiative was initially taken by Sacks. T had been an Internet junky for close to five years,” he said, “and this idea had been on my mind even before I

New group brings Former Panther reflects on activism children to Duke By LATASHA DAVIDSON The Chronicle

Members of Kappa Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., founded a program that will continue to fund inner-city schoolchildren’s weekend campus visits. By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

From now on, cavorting youngsters will be a common sight in the Sarah P. Duke gardens on Saturdays. Several members of the Kappa Alpha Order and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., have begun inviting two dozen or so inner-city schoolchildren to the University’s campus each weekend for a day of educational programming and games. The students have dubbed their organization Full Court Press and plan on three or four weekend installments this year. “This is pretty much a prototype to build a more extensive program for next year,” said Jake Anderson, a Trinity sophomore and one of the program’s founders. “We envision hopefully 12 to 16 sessions for next year.” Anderson, together with Daryn Dodson, David King and Scott Orleck, chose the Edgemont Tutoring Project as the source for participants after Anderson and King tutored at the program. “It’s one thing to tutor these kids for an hour, jump in your sport utility vehicle, drive back to campus and forget about them,” said Anderson. “We have to get them out oftheir existing situation once in a while and

bring them to Duke.”

this Saturday, participants During the first as young as five and as old as 13 were treated to breakfast and lunch. They played basketball and capture the flag, ran relay races and watched a step show performed by two former members of Kappa Alpha Psi. See FULL COURT PRESS on page 14 �

session

Students in the Mary Lou Williams Center listened intently as radical activist Wallace “Hotada” Francis grimly recounted the numerous assassinations of blacks who literally sacrificed themselves for freedom and power. Francis, a member of both the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panther Party, urged last night’s audience not to forget the struggles of the civil rights and black power movements. ‘We must learn from the lessons of the past and project,” he said. Francis said knowledge is the key to any political struggle, and he and his colleagues sought knowledge through both reading about the past and experiencing the present. During his political education, Francis often remembered his mother’s fear that he would become a victim to an angry society that terrorized an entire race of people. But Francis persevered, and through knowledge, he and numerous other black leaders became political activists who struggled for rights that were supposedly guaranteed to them as United States citizens. “America did not go wrong, it began wrong,” he proclaimed. He and many others began their own struggle to make it right. “The civil rights movement,” he reminded his audience, “began as a human rights movement.” Francis said he thinks most ofthe movies that supposedly chronicle the civil rights era have sensationalized the period instead of detailing how the leaders’ knowledge was shaped, evolved and communicated to the public. It was this public interaction that made the Black Panthers such an enemy to the government that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover once called the group the biggest threat to national security. “Hoover was mainly afraid of our ability to articulate the grievances of the people,” Francis said. He emphasized that political persecution still exists, and he cited several cases in which he said that political leaders have been imprisoned on trumped-up charges.

MATT KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE

WALLACE FRANCIS spoke yesterday about the Black Panthers. Phillip Shabazz, artist in residence at the Mary Lou Williams Center, said he thought Francis represented the center’s commitment to bring more diverse, interesting voices to Duke, especially because the radical edge is missing from the campus. In his introduction, Shabazz explained how middle-class voices usually supersede the more radical ones, with these voices marginalized through accident, neglect and also desire. Francis’ voice was clear when he expressed the need for Americans to become knowledgeable about historical events by questioning history and the ways history is recorded. In essence, he said, ‘“I don’t know 1 won’t help.”

Students sign up

to Rock the Vote By TREY DAVIS The Chronicle

Despite the belief among many students that presidential candidates are not courting their vote, almost 500 registered to vote yesterday at a Rock the Vote table on the Cambridge Inn Quadrangle. The massive registration drive, complete with balloons and music provided by DJ Sly, was a joint effort between Duke Student Government, the NAACP, College Republicans and Duke Democrats. Although organizers said the success was evidence of students’ interest in the political system, many students who were registering said they felt disenfranchised by the political system. “Today is evidence that students are not apathetic,” said Meggan Wurzburg, a Trinity sophomore and DSG Chief of Staff. She was pleased with the turnout and explained that by removing some of the hassles associated with the registration process, the organizations were able to make students more likely to fill out the forms. Although students seemed excited about registering, many felt that the presidential candidates were not doing all the could to attract the young vote. T haven’t seen any kind of public campaign [aimed at young voters],” Nathu said. College Republican Laura Daniel said there is room for improvement in both presidential campaigns. “I don’t think that either of the candidates is doing enough,” said the Trinity freshman. Daniel added that getting college voters registered is crucial to involving them in the campaigns. Robert Chen, a Trinity freshman, used the Rock the Vote drive to register in his home state of Tennessee. “I haven’t felt involved yet, but it is important and I will make a decision,” he said. Wurzburg said that A1 Gore has taken steps to court the young vote by enlisting the help of Herald Ford Jr. (D-Tenn), one of the youngest members of Congress, in his campaign. Lynn, however, felt that some of the energy of the presidential race left with Bill Bradley and John McCain, both of whom seemed to be new to the national political scene and were more appealing to younger people, she said. “I think that Bradley and Gore are the weakest as far as younger voters go,” Lynn said. In the past, voter registration drives have suffered, because groups have only been able to register students See

Super aspirin helps high-risk patients By MEREDITH YOUNG The Chronicle

This month, Duke Clinical Research Institute announced the results of a study indicating that glycoprotein Ilb/lIIa platelet inhibitor drugs—also known as super aspirins”—did not significantly benefit most patients with acute coronary syndromes. However, the researchers, who presented their findings at the American College of Cardiology’s annual conference, discovered that a selective use of these drugs may in fact help a specific subset of patients in preventing a second heart attack and even death. Patients from 29 countries participated in the trial testing the effects of lamifiban, one of three intravenous super aspirins designed to prevent circulating platelets—small, colorless blood cells—from clumping together and forming a clot at the site of the atherosclerotic plaque in coronary arteries. The drugs are administered to patients who suffer

from unstable angina or are at risk for a second heart attack. Two of the super aspirins, eptifibiatide and tirofiban, are already on the market. The clinical trial, which enrolled 5,225 patients worldwide, found that in overall data, patients in the lamifiban trial showed only a small, statistically insignificant improvement. Roughly half of the patients were randomly allocat-

ed a dose of lamifiban tailored to each individual’s weight, gender and kidney function, while halfreceived a placebo. In the double-blind study, patients also received heparin, a blood thinner and regular aspirin. “The step forward would have been if this dose adjustment made a difference—and it doesn’t,” said Dr. Robert Harrington, the study’s lead investigator and an associate professor in the Division of Cardiology. At the end of 30 days, 11.8 percent of patients treated with lamifiban had either had a second heart attack, See

Administrators dismiss plans for satellite parkin �PARKING from page 1 are now considering building a new lot near the one at the intersection of N.C.

751 and Science Drive and another behind Gross Chemistry Building on Circuit Drive, said Executive Vice Presi-

dent Tallman Trask. Lynda Harrison, administrative secretary for the department of religion, said she has watched parking get worse and worse since coming to Duke six years ago. “I guess I resent the fact that I have to come in so early because I have to walk from so far away,” she said. “I don’t mind the walk since I need the exercise, but when it’s raining or its cold or its dark... if I rode the [RT shuttle], I could walk it faster.” She now arrives at 7:30 a.m. to park and walk to work. Harrison knew that The Ocean was closing and had heard rumors that students would be bumped to the RT lot she now uses. “With the people I’ve talked with, we think first and second year students shouldn’t have parked cars,” she said. “At other schools, they don’t. From what I’ve heard, East Campus is worse than over here. We have professors who go over there to teach classes and get parking tickets.” Gwen Johnson, a Duke Stores employee who also parks in the RT lots, said she had not heard about the changes. “It’s just if you get there, you

have to wait for the bus,” she said. “And if you’re running late, you still have to take 10 to 15 minutes to walk to work.... But the students need to have easy access to the campus. They shouldn’t be pushed away so far.” Although they said they did not look forward to the change, many students seemed understanding about it. “It’s going to be a little bit less convenient, but I don’t think it will make a difference as long as there are enough slots for people who have a car,” said Pratt junior Brandon Stray, The campus master planning initiative, which will lay out principles for any new construction, has thrown a complex loop into the discussion, forcing administrators to think about how any new lot locations would fit into the longterm philosophies laid out in the campus plan. Parking consultant Barbara Chance, whom the University hired early this year, is also working to solve the problem. Pietrantoni, who has been advocating the N.C. 751 lot expansion, said employees and students from the schools of law, business and public policy might prefer to park in these spaces—which are closer to the buildings than those in other RT lots. Chick-Fil-A employee Connie Poole said that although she gets a ride to

work, most of her co-workers park in the gravel lot at Duke University Road. She has not heard any talk about the changes, which would not affect the gravel lot. Deborah Horvitz, director ofcommunications for Human Resources, said the division’s traditional role does not include contributing to parking discussions or advocating for employee interests in general; that task is generally left to Trask. University architect John Pearce and

the consultants are reviewing the options and will submit a plan in the coming weeks. Employees had worried that they would be pushed as far away as Erwin Square for satellite parking, but Pietrantoni said that plan, which Medical Center officials were mostly considering, has been discarded because the lots were not available. John Bush contributed to this story.

I have talked to other Southern people through the list and the friends I have made have helped to relieve me.” Jim Zimmer, a senior at Mount Carmel High School said the topics of conversation vary a lot. Chicago in “We just talk about typical teenage stuff.... books, movies, where we are from, and why we are going to Duke,” he said. ‘There has also been a lot of e-mail about basketball lately. After the loss, there we some disgruntled fans and profanity used.” A group of students from the New York and New Jersey areas are also planning a face-to-face meeting. Due to the expansion of the network to other states, they have also considered meeting in a central spot on Blue Devil Days, but no plans have been finalized, said Sacks. “I hope we get to meet each other on Blue Devil Days,” he said. “We all want to get to know one another so we’re not going in there flying solo.” And Venit said the network provides a great medium for building these relationships. “This technology is a natural extension of what they normally use to communicate with their friends and they are using it to form their own virtual East Campus,” he said. Jaime Levy contributed to this story.

The survey was developed by 16 housing operations professionals from around the country for the Association of College and University Housing Officers-International. The organization hopes to determine whether students feel their housing experiences match the ACUHO-I standards. Last year, the association’s survey was conducted at 158 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Butler said the great advantage of the survey is that it compares students’ opinions on a national basis. Citing his experience in the University of Delaware s housing office, he said he was surprised by the results when he switched from using a university-specific survey to the national one. ‘When compared to other schools, what we found

was that things where we thought we were doing well on, students at other schools were a lot more

satisfied,” said Butler. Because the Office of Student Development did not survey during the last school year, Baker hopes that this year’s survey results will be even more useful. “We had some good information for a couple of years and we want to see how opinions have changed or stayed the same,” said Baker. “We hope this will be a continuation of our assessment methods.” Assistant Dean of Student Development Bill Burig noted that this survey will get the most productive results if many students complete the form. “If we get a poor turnout then we won’t get very statistically good results,” said Burig. “I make a plea that students please let us know what they are thinking. We really want to know a lot.”

Proposals include reducing access to commons rooms from page

“Our intentions are to clarify the messages sent by the University, increase the level of safety and to eliminate current policies that create inequity between residential and non-residential student groups As part of these equity issues, the suggestions include several points addressing the availability of social programming space. For example, one point recommends, “All social venues on campus should be free a couple times per semester like Von Canon. These free uses should include [Campus Police] coverage.” Although students said these policies could be helpful in improving the ease of programming, they added that until more central social space is available, lowered fees—a long-standing demand of non-residential social groups—would be ineffectual. “The problem is there are not enough spaces on campus that are centrally located. [The IM Building] is not a place where people are going to go,” Caberwal said. “People have parties on campus and in commons rooms because you get people just passing through.” The committee’s proposal that com”

One discusses safe occupancies, while the other explicitly states, “Commons rooms can be used as a living room for small parties only” Trinity junior Jim Lazarus, vice president of Campus Council, said he would like to see everyone’s access to social space equalized even if it means limiting some groups’ use of their own commons rooms. Tm a fan of providing the most amount of programming space to the most amount of groups possible,” he said, Wasiolek explained that the committee did not include students because members wanted time to educate themselves about the event policy before coming up with concrete recommendations. “We are not at a recommendation phase right now... because students have not been involved in the discussions,” she said. ”

the desert, but for members ofthe University’s Jewish community, nine months without a rabbi was tough. “It’s not like we’ve been looking for 25 years, but to find a rabbi is really exciting,” Kaplan said. “We were looking for someone who had the interest to work with college students and the ability to work with them and share with them, teach them and understand what the needs of college students are. We were looking for someone who is very energetic and positive yet learned

and spiritual.”

For many CJL officials, experience was Seltzer’s primary asset. “He is very experienced in programming,” said CJL student board president Sarah Bell, a Trinity junior

and photography editor of TowerView, The Chronicle’s news magazine. “He is into creating a community, and

that’s definitely something we need. He is interested in finding ways to make Judaism appealing to students... and making Judaism a part of student life.” The rabbi will also play a key role in some CJL administrative decisions—like whether to allow non-Jewish groups to use the center on Jewish holidays, usually prescribed as days of rest. Kaplan said he will consult Seltzer for liturgical guidance on these matters. Like most campus rabbis, Seltzer’s role will likely involve a spin on traditional rabbinical duties. He will focus on education, counseling and advising in addition to working with the center’s student board. While students will continue to lead many religious services, Seltzer will also help oversee the center’s Kosher kitchen and its soon-to-open mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath. “He is young and eager and enthusiastic and obviously intelligent,” said Vice Provost for Academic and

Administrative Services Judith Ruderman, a member ofthe CJL executive board and long-time leader of the Duke Jewish community. “[He] will add both education and a pastoral component.” With Seltzer’s arrival, CJL program director Helena Lawrence will leave the University. After a stint as Duke’s Steinhardt Jewish Campus Service Corps Fellow last year, Lawrence was hired temporarily to the new position this year when the CJL board could not hire a rabbi. The CJL student board will have to take up much of the programming slack left by Lawrence’s departure. “I haven’t seen the typical day-to-day stuff” Seltzer said of how he envisions the center in a few years. “But I would hope there would be more activities and more opportunities for people to be involved and that the CJL’s presence [would be] expanded.”

recurrent chest pains or died, compared with the 12.8 percent treated with a placebo. These findings, however, led to an encouraging discovery. Although, collectively, the platelet inhibitor drugs only produced a slight benefit, a specific group of patients benefited significantly from the lamifiban.

A sub-study helped identify high-risk patients. The researchers found that administering lamifiban to patients that are “troponin T positive” reduces the risk of a second heart attack by nearly 50 percent. When troponin T, a regulatory protein, is found in the blood, it indicates that muscle tissue is dying. “Somewhere between 25 to 40 percent of patients who come in actually have troponin [T],” he said. Harrington said identifying high-risk patients whose situation is improved by the drug is consequential. “All of the effects of [lamifiban} appear to be in that group. We’ve learned there is a subset of patients who are at very high risk whom these drugs seem to preferentially benefit,” Harrington said. Dr. Howard Herrmann, professor ofmedicine and director of interventional cardiology at University of Pennsylvania Health System, said that although the overall trial showed insignificant effects for patients as a whole, the sub-study also reveals an important finding. “I think the study supports the concept that inhibiting the platelets is important in this type of situation.”

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Not so fun at the YMCA YMCA Early Learning Center is usually filled with childish whining, but this week it’s mired in more serious complaints spurred by mismanagement and poor communication. Most ofthe daycare facility’s 70 teachers walked out Friday to protest the unexplained dismissal of Interim Director Karenne Berry. Refusing to discuss the termination, YMCA President David Byrd has threatened to fire many ofthe protesting teachers. The center will not open again before Monday, and until then, 120 children of Duke employees—whose slots at the facility are subsidized by the University—have no place to go. Parents are upset, teachers are angry and almost everyone is confused. At least one thing is clear: The Y has mishandled this situation. Byrd is not obligated to disclose the center’s rationale for firing Berry, but he should provide teachers and parents with some information—such as the months-long performance review that preceded Berry’s firing—even if that information reflects poorly on the ELC or his staff. If teachers had felt more included in the decision-making process, they might have trusted Byrd’s judgment and not have gone on strike in the first place. The shroud of secrecy around Berry’s removal is emblematic of larger problems at the ELC, the chief one being shoddy and sparse communication. Byrd has said the Y is trying to solve this problem. Opening the lines between teachers and administrators would be a good place to start. If the fired teachers do not return, new ones will be hard to find in the Triangle’s tight job market. The University has already discussed, albeit briefly, taking its subsidies elsewhere. In the meantime, Duke should concentrate on finding temporary daycare for the 120 displaced children ofemployees. While the Children’s Campus would only hold half of the children, it might be a viable option until the ELC is fully staffed again—or until Duke chooses a new facility to subsidize. Although the University has no legal responsibility to directly involve itself in this debate, it could certainly help repair some of the broken bonds between teachers, administrators and parents. Duke should offer to help by sending one of its many trained mediators or crisis managers. The University should also be sympathetic to its employees who have missed workdays be cause their children were stuck at home this week. Many of these employees have very few sick or vacation days left, largely because they already had to use them when January’s snowstorm blocked them inside. Duke is on the right track here; administrators have assured the employees that they will not be fired for missing days. But as the immediacy of the situation fades, the University must remain flexible with its employees—and adamant about ensuring that this crisis is resolved once and for all

The Constitution grants everyone certain rights lam writing in response to the letter to the editor published March 28 regarding same-sex marriages and God’s word. The two gentlemen who wrote the letter stated that, “Our government is based upon God’s law and authority, and since He outlaws [homosexuality], so must we.” I would like to remind these gentlemen of the First Amendment, which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” Under this amendr ment, what the Bible says with regard to homosexualifor referenced

ty does not matter because our government is legally bound not to make laws based on the words of the Bible. The two gentleman are right when they say the law allows the freedom of religious expression, it simply does not allow religion in the law. Secondly, in response to their belief that homosexuality is a choice, the two gentlemen must not realize that even Dr. Laura Schlessinger has stated that homosexuality has a biological cause, but she mistakenly believes, much as the Nazis did in World War 11, that it can be cured. Why

would anyone willingly “choose” to be a part of a group that is subjected to stigma and hatred? Homosexuals are asking for no more than to live as they are, as they were born and as they were created. In our country, these rights should include the right to marry, This group hurts no one by asking for the rights that they deserve under the protection of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The right of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Time well spent on the beach Ron Jeremy

Finally becoming a grown-up A Strand in the Web Heather Morris

Dana Vachon I once considered the possibility that, lacking enough fun things for everyone to do, society anoints a leisure class to have fun for everyone else. This theory would apply to people who go to the moon, win Olympic gold medals and have sex with models. We read about them in tabloids and get offby proxy. However, over spring break this year, I applied my theory to the world of tanning. Seeing as my Anglo-Celtic flesh defies anything darker than its own uniquely Victorian palor, I endeavored to select a certain portion of my body to tan, so that the rest of it might at least watch and enjoy. I looked for the darkest areas of flesh, and immediately settled upon my nipples. I should inform anyone who isn’t already aware of the fact that my nipples are far and away the most impressive part of the physical Dana Vachon (note to readers: If ever I release a jazz CD, remind me to name it The Physical Dana Vachon or maybe, An Evening with the Physical Dana Vachon). Moreover, my nipples start out tan at the get-go, so as I put SPF 30 on the rest of my body, it was Coppertone two with tanning enhancers for both Nipple A and Nipple B. I continued this for three days, and soon, well, everything changed. Middle-aged trophy wives at the beach club, all of whom initially—and, I might add, accurately—assessed me as a pale sexual novice, now took notice of my nipples. They got me more than stolen glances—they got me a love affair. ,

Well, in less than two months I will be graduating from this fine institution, and then there will be nothing to hold me back. I will be (gasp!) a real adult. I don’t think I am the only senior in college who finds this situation a little scary. After all, who knows what might happen to me when the transition occurs? I may start wearing skirts in sensible dark colors, going to bed at 10 p.m. during the week, and spending my vacations at historical sites instead of amusement parks. We are approaching uncharted territory. I only mention these possibilities because thinking about graduation has caused me to ponder this impending adulthood thing and about how I viewed adults when I was a child. By and large, they seemed to be tall people who often dressed in suits or skirts and rushed around doing important—but boring—things like paying bills, buying groceries and working. They seemed to have remarkably little time for playing games or anything else fun, and that always worried me a bit. But there were benefits to being an adult as well. I always thought that adults were all-knowing. You probably did too, once upon a time. The good part of being an adult would be getting to know all the answers. That, of course, and staying up as late as I wanted. Maybe the

lack of playtime wouldn’t matter. the time. And I found that contrary I must have assumed that at the to popular belief, adults are allowed entrance to adulthood, people were to have fun every once in a while! given the knowledge they needed to I seem to be well on my way to qualify as adults.

Going global in a foolish fashion Above the Norm

She walked up to me at the outside bar, smoking a cigarette on a long filter and wearing a revealing

two-piece, the lower part of which seemed intent on inspecting her colon. She looked into my eyes, took a long drag of smoke and gave life to the words I had been dreaming of: “Nice nipples.” On any other day I might have run for cover, made a self deprecating joke to ward off her advances or simply soiled my bathing suit on the spot. But by this point, I knew well the powers of my nipples, and I had a pre-planned response. “They taste like kiwi,” I said to her. “I like kiwi,” she said as she licked her lips. “That’s good. So do I. New Zealand produces a lot ofKiwi.” I was losing my cool, but this skilled reptile of a woman didn’t need much help from me. I would like to say that a few hours later, I became a man. In truth, a few hours later, I just had very wet nipples. Moreover, she insisted upon keeping her cigarette lit during our tryst, so I imagine that they also had a good deal of nicotine and tar on them, but that is not the point. The point is this —tan nipples are sexy, and sexy women like to lick them. I told Mrs. Nipplelicker that I could tan other, less often exposed parts of my anatomy if it would similarly inspire her. I told her that I would do just about anything to those other, less often exposed regions of my anatomy if it would similarly inspire her, but it was no use. “Look here kid,” she said to me during our last rendezvous, “There’s nothing like a really pale guy with really tan nipples.” I could only answer her in the language of romance, and whispered into her ear, “Ta-rue Dat.”

Norm Bradley Traditionally, the Major League Baseball season starts with a home game for the Cincinnati Reds. However, this year’s opener takes place far away from the Queen City—actually, it’s in Tokyo. This MLB brainchild is the latest attempt to improve baseball’s international following. Last year, the Baltimore Orioles participated in a two-game series with the Cuban national team, and major league players have barnstormed in Latin American winter leagues for several decades. Baseball is not alone in trying to sell its entertainment product overseas. The National Football League sponsors “America Bowl” games in several foreign countries, and it has created a spring developmental league in six European cities. Not to be outdone, the NBA opened its season in the land of the rising sun as well, and basketball set a precedent by allowing its stars to participate in “dream team” Olympic tournaments in 1992. Those affiliated with professional sports defend these ventures as attempts to increase their league’s fan base and increase revenue through global marketing efforts. However, I think these leagues are wasting their time— MLB will never dominate the headlines in the Far East, For example, do you know who holds the international record for career home runs? If you guessed Hank Aaron, you’re wrong—the correct answer is Japanese slugger Sadaharu Oh. What team did this superstar play for? I have no idea. But just as Americans don’t care about Oh, Japanese children will not buy into the exploits of Sammy Sosa and Mike Piazza. Even if professional sports organizations bring their games to Japan, it does not mean that Japanese children will put away

their sushi for a slice of our national pastime. People want heroes they can identify with. Simply put, fans will not embrace a game played by foreign players that is played in foreign cities. Considering that no sport is planning on opening franchises outside of North America anytime soon, bring one or two meaningless games across the pond is a waste of time—and a disservice to these sports’ real fans. I’m not a professional sports isolationist—l think that professional sports need to take a different approach. Sports leagues should increase their investments in youth leagues in foreign countries. There’s a reason why virtually even’ player in the NFL is an American citizen. American children aren’t genetically disposed to punt, pass and kick better than their peers,, it’s just that children in other countries are not exposed to the game at an early age. Japan caught “Nomo-mania” early this decade when Hideo Nomo first caught on with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Japanese families would stay up to the wee hours of the morning to watch Nomo pitch, and Japanese communities in Southern California bought all sorts of merchandise dedicated to their hero. If professional sports can develop youth programs, we will see more and more countries represented in sports, which will in turn, encourage even more children to pick up a bat instead of a soccer ball. For example, look at recent changes to the National Hockey League. Two decades ago, the league was exclusively Canadians and Americans. But now we have stars like Teemu Selane (who is just as popular in Finland as he is in Anaheim) Dominik Hasek and Jaromir Jagr {who get much more press in Prague than they do in their North American homes). But this explosion is due to the fall ofthe Iron Curtain, not any programs run by the NHL. If professional leagues can encourage the next Hideo Nomo, maybe we will see a true World Series in the foreseeable future.

Kids, volunteers like Sat. program COURT PRESS from page 4

Children who took part in the program said they enjoyed their day and looked forward to returning, “We get to come out here and meet new friends,” said Marcus Cox, a participant. “They’re giving us t-shirts and autographs from Duke basketball players.” The organizers depended on about 30 volunteers to manage the children and activities. “There was probably one volunteer for every two kids, at least for every three kids,” said Dodson. “Each kid got a significant amount ofattention from the volunteers.” And everyone seemed to be enjoying their time. “I love kids,” said Dan Suzuki, a Trinity sophomore and afternoon volunteer. “These are good kids. [The children] are definitely having fun. They love it at Duke and they want to come back.” If the children are to return in the future, however, organizers will need to secure continued sources of funding for the project. Because University and private sources have come forward with $2,250 to fund this year’s remaining three sessions, Anderson said he does not see financing as a problem. As a result, Edgemont students can participate at no cost. “These kids don’t really have any financial resources,” said Anderson, “so the purpose is to provide them with... a moment where they don’t have to think about cost and funds.”

8 CHAPEL HILL If imitation is

~7 the sincerest form UNC of flattery, then the legendary Dean Smith must be sitting in his office with a smile on his face. That’s because the No. 3 Duke women’s lacrosse team took a page from Smith’s coaching playbook. Using their version of the “four corners” offense which Smith invented in the mid-19605, the Blue Devils (6-2, 1-1 ACC) frustrated and confused the defense of fifth-ranked North Carolina (6-3, 2-1) en route to an 8-7 victory. Duke’s spread offense controlled the pace of the game early on and took advantage of its opportunities, scoring four goals in the first 20 minutes of play. At the same time, Duke limited the Tar Heels’ possessions and virtually eliminated their offensive staple, the ability to get into the open field and utilize their team quickness. “We just wanted to maximize our possessions,” Duke coach Kerstin Kimel said. “And that’s what we felt like we could do. Carolina is a much faster team

than we are, and we felt like we needed to keep the ball out of their hands.” The Blue Devils jumped out to an early 4-1 lead on the strength of two Kate Kaiser goals. Kaiser finished the night with a hat trick to lead all Duke scorers.

“Kaiser was phenomenal,” Kate Soulier said. “She scored some really key goals for u5.... She has an incredible awareness and great ability to play this game, and it’s an absolute pleasure having her on the team.” Even when the Tar Heels had opportunities to run in the open field, Duke was able to thwart most of those scoring opportunities because ofits defensive sliding and ability to anticipate the Carolina passes. “The defense was absolutely phenomenal and had great composure [tonight],” Soulier said. “Slides were totally early and the defense was coming up with big plays, ground balls. They were just doing it all. What they were doing was getting momentum, which was helping us a lot on attack. They won the game for us.” When the Tar Heels managed See

The ninth-ranked men’s lacrosse team (6-2) took an advantage early in the third quarter and never gave it up as it earned a 13-11 win over No. 19 Maiyland-Baltimore County (2-4) yesterday at Koskinen Stadium. With the game tied 6-6 at halftime, the Blue Devils came out swinging in the second half. Chris Hartofilis slammed a goal in after only 40 seconds with an assist from senior T.J. Durnan.

AS EXPECTED, Cincinnati freshman DerMarr Johnson declared his eligibility for the NBA draft yesterday.

Terp stays put; Bearcat leaves Cincy for NBA From wire reports

Maryland junior forward Terence Morris announced yesterday that he will return to the school for his senior season. “It is an opportunity for me to complete my education and to be a senior leader on the basketball team,” Morris said in a statement. “I am very excited about our team next season and have very high goals for the team and myself. I look forward to being a part of the campus community for another year.” Morris led Maryland to a berth in the NCAA tournament’s Midwest Region before losing to UCLA in the second round. Morris was second behind Juan Dixon

in scoring, averaging 15.8 points a game this season. While Morris announced his intention to stay in college, Cincinnati freshman DerMarr Johnson will leave

his school to enter the NBA draft, The Cincinnati Post reported on its web site yesterday. “I had a long talk with D.J. in which we discussed his options, and I understand and support his decision,” coach Bob Huggins said in a statement obtained by The Post. “It was great to have DerMarr in our program, both as a player and as a person, if only for one year. I am sure he will remain part of the family and, like our other guys, return often.” Johnson, a 6-foot-9 shooting guard, was the Bearcats’ third-leading scorer, averaging 12.6 points. “This was really a hard decision because the people at Cincinnati have been so good to me,” Johnson said. “In talking things over with my family, I realized that this was something I needed to do for them. “Playing in the NBA is something I’ve wanted to do for the last three years. My year at Cincinnati has prepared me to take this step.”

UNC misses potential game-tying one-timer in final minutes � UNC from page 15 to get near the cage, they found Shannon Chaney there to turn away most of their shot attempts. Chaney stopped 12 shots on the game and held the Tar Heels to a season-low two goals in the first half. “Shannon came up really big today,” Carolina coach Jenny Slingluff said. “She had some really nice saves.” It was Chaney’s second straight win over UNC, matching an 8-7 Duke victory in 1999.

“She just played out of her mind today,” Kaiser said. “Some of the saves she made were just unbelievable. There’s just not much to say [about her performance].” Carolina still had one last chance to tie the score with less than two minutes remaining but missed a chance to connect on a one-timer. Duke picked up the loose ball and was able to run out the clock and preserve the victory. Despite their lethargic start, the Tar Heels battled

to remain within striking distance of Duke. Meghann Mohler’s goal cut the Blue Devil lead to 5-4 with 24:04 left to play. That’s when things began to get a little interesting During a scrum in which Duke looked more like rugby’s New Zealand Blackshirts than a lacrosse team, several players hit the hard turf at Henry Field trying to recover the ball. But, it was junior midfielder Courtney Rodgers who finally picked up the loose ball and found a clear path to the cage to put Duke up 6-4, knocking some of the wind out of the Tar Heels’ sails. “Ground balls and those loose balls are always a big part of our game plan,” Rodgers said with a huge smile. “If you win those, it helps you so much to gain momentum and get into the game. “It felt really good.We were all hustling to redefend, I think everyone was just excited [about the goal] because we had redefended and capitalized and got a goal off of it.”

Duke retrieves lead Cerenko, Root grind out tough 3-set victories with 2nd-half surge WAKE from page 15

UMBC from page 15 we woke up and realized we were in the fight of our lives here, and our guys responded to it.” Having taken a 6-5 lead by the end of the second quarter, Duke lapsed and gave up the ball with seven seconds remaining. Not wasting any time, the Retrievers charged down the field to tie up the contest at the buzzer 6-6. “In the first half, they had their way with us,” Pressler said. “They made us play at their tempo. And that goal at the end of the half gave them great momentum going into the second half.” That momentum never showed up for UMBC as the Blue Devils made their own momentum at the start of the third quarter, in which they outpaced the �

Retrievers

3-1.

“I thought when we scored the first couple to begin the third, we had to make UMBC play from behind,” Pressler said. “Once we got ahead, they were playing catch-up the rest of the way. And when you play that slow tempo, it’s hard to catch up when you’re behind by a couple.” “We should have closed them out 13-8, but now we can get ready for Harvard. We’ve been through a hell of a week here, with these three games in a row, not a lot of time to prepare. But we’re looking forward.”

singles, the Hilton Head, S.C. native came out blistering in the decisive set. Smith blitzed Michael Berger by taking the first 20 points ofthe set to go up 5-0, and eventually winning 6-1. ‘That’s almost unheard of in tennis,” Pedroso said.

since being struck in the eye by a ball during a match against UCLA two weeks ago, Duke dropped the doubles point for the fifth time in the last six matches. Paired with Pedroso, Yani looked sharp in his return to action at No. 2 doubles. But Wake’s Michael Murray and Johan Hansen looked a bit sharper, dropping Pedroso and Yani 8-6 in the decisive doubles match after the two teams had split at No. 1 and No. 3. “He was pretty good considering it was his first match,” Pedroso said. “He looked as good as you could look for not playing for two weeks. “We pretty much came out flat at the beginning. Mike and I should have won—we had a lot of chances.... We haven’t been 100 percent intense through the doubles.” Although Duke took five of the six singles matches, the wins did not come easily. Pedroso and freshman Joel Spicher cruised past their respective opponents to give Duke a 2-1 lead. Three of the other four matches went into a decisive third set. Marko Cerenko outlasted Justin Kaufman in the closest match ofthe day at No. 5 singles to put Duke within one match ofthe win. And Ramsey Smith didn’t wait long to clinch it.

UNC misses potential game-tying one-timer in final minutes � UNC from page 15 to get near the cage, they found Shannon Chaney there to turn away most of their shot attempts. Chaney stopped 12 shots on the game and held the Tar Heels to a season-low two goals in the first half. “Shannon came up really big today,” Carolina coach Jenny Slingluff said. “She had some really nice saves.” It was Chaney’s second straight win over UNC, matching an 8-7 Duke victory in 1999.

“She just played out of her mind today,” Kaiser said. “Some of the saves she made were just unbelievable. There’s just not much to say [about her performance]. Carolina still had one last chance to tie the score with less than two minutes remaining but missed a chance to connect on a one-timer. Duke picked up the loose ball and was able to run out the clock and preserve the victory.

Despite their lethargic start, the Tar Heels battled

to remain within striking distance of Duke. Meghann Mohler’s goal cut the Blue Devil lead to 5-4 with 24:04 left to play. That’s when things began to get a little interesting. During a scrum in which Duke looked more like rugby’s New Zealand Blackshirts than a lacrosse team, several players hit the hard turf at Henry Field trying to recover the ball. But, it was junior midfielder Courtney Rodgers who finally picked up the loose ball and found a clear path to the cage to put Duke up 6-4, knocking some of the wind out of the Tar Heels’ sails. “Ground balls and those loose balls are always a big part of our game plan,” Rodgers said with a huge smile. “If you win those, it helps you so much to gain momentum and get into the game. “It felt really good. We were all hustling to redefend. everyone was just excited [about the goal] think I because we had redefended and capitalized and got a goal off of it.”

JUNIOR MIDFIELDER CLAIRE FINN looks to turn the corner on the UNC defense. Finn helped the Blue Devils dictate the action at midfield, where Duke picked up 32 ground balls to UNO’s 25

Duke retrieves lead Cerenko, Root grind out tough 3-set victories with 2nd-half surge WAKE from page 15

UMBC from page 15 we woke up and realized we were in the fight of our lives here, and our guys responded to it.” Having taken a 6-5 lead by the end of the second quarter, Duke lapsed and gave up the ball with seven seconds remaining. Not wasting any time, the Retrievers charged down the field to tie up the contest P

at the buzzer 6-6. “In the first half, they had their way with us,” Pressler said. “They made us play at their tempo. And that goal at the end of the half gave them great momentum going into the second half.” That momentum never showed up for UMBC as the Blue Devils made their own momentum at the start of the third quarter, in which they outpaced the Retrievers 3-1. “I thought when we scored the first couple to begin the third, we had to make UMBC play from behind,” Pressler said. “Once we got ahead, they were playing catch-up the rest of the way. And when you play that slow tempo, it’s hard to catch up when you’re behind by a couple.” “We should have closed them out 13-8, but now we can get ready for Harvard. We’ve been through a hell of a week here, with these three games in a row, not a lot of time to prepare. But we’re looking forward.”

since being struck in the eye by a ball during a match against UCLA two weeks ago, Duke dropped the doubles point for the fifth time in the last six matches. Paired with Pedroso, Yani looked sharp in his return to action at No. 2 doubles. But Wake’s Michael Murray and Johan Hansen looked a bit sharper, dropping Pedroso and Yani 8-6 in the decisive doubles match after the two teams had split at No. 1 and No. 3. “He was pretty good considering it was his first match,” Pedroso said. “He looked as good as you could look for not playing for two weeks. “We pretty much came out flat at the beginning. Mike and I should have won—we had a lot of chances.... We haven’t been 100 percent intense through the doubles.” Although Duke took five ofthe six singles matches, the wins did not come easily. Pedroso and freshman Joel Spicher cruised past their respective opponents to give Duke a 2-1 lead. Three of the other four matches went into a decisive third set. Marko Cerenko outlasted Justin Kaufman in the closest match of the day at No. 5 singles to put Duke within one match of the win. And Ramsey Smith didn’t wait long to clinch it. After dropping the second set of his match at No. 2

singles, the Hilton Head, S.C. native came out blistering in the decisive set. Smith blitzed Michael Berger by taking the first 20 points of the set to go up 5-0, and even-

tually winning 6-1.

‘That’s almost unheard of in tennis,” Pedroso said.
