Hospital nurses force unionization hearing By JAIME LEVY The Chronicle

SARAH HAIG, a Trinity freshman, votes in the class officer elections on a DSG-monitored laptop computer polling station. Yesterday’s was Duke’s first online election.
Candidate challenges senior election
Now that Duke Hospital’s nurses have filed their petition to unionize, both union proponents and Duke administrators are preparing for a National Labor Relations Board hearing late next week that will determine the terms of a union vote. The potentially heated hearing will involve a mediator from the NLRB, which will decide which employees would be represented by the union. Once these decisions are hammered out, the eligible employees will vote on whether to form a union that will have collective bargaining and Mike Israel
striking rights. In order to get to this stage, union organizers—in this case, the Interna-
tional Union of Operating Engineers —had to get at least 30 percent of Hospital nurses’ signatures to confirm that they wanted a vote. Although lUOE spokesperson David Miller would not say how many signatures he received, he mentioned that it would be foolish to file a petition for a vote that wouldfail. “We normally like to get 75 percent in a campaign,” he said. Hospital officials remain staunchly opposed to a nurses’ union, arguing that many of the nurses’ concerns cannot be addressed by collective bargaining, largely because the Hospital’s understaffing is a result of a nationwide

To address concerns about high patient-to-nurse ratios, the Hospital has been closing patient beds; as of Tuesday afternoon, 28 beds were deliberately out of use. “I have very little disagreement with anything I’ve heard in meetings with staff,” Israel said, adding that 10 percent of nursing positions at the Hospital are currently unfilled. “What I differ with is those individuals who are proponents of thirdparty representation and collective bargaining. I don’t believe that that will bring about a resolution to the issues they have.” Israel pointed to the recent reshuffling of the Hospital’s administration as a mechanism by which employees could have more access to upper management. When Chief Operating Officer Brenda Nevidjon announced her resignation last week, Israel unveiled a new administrative structure designed to bring the rank and file closer to the Hospital brass. Now, Chief Nursing Officer Mary Ann Crouch will report directly to Israel. “The purpose of the administration is to see that the work environment is appropriate [for everyone]...,” Crouch said. “You don’t manage an organization without that thought in mind.” See UNION on page 9 �
Activists protest killing of pigs in med school classrooms First-year medic al classes use live anesthetized pigs to demonstrate certain medications’ effect on the body By ALEX SUNDSTROM The Chronicle
The practice ofkilling animals in first-year medical school labs sends a horrible message to students about respect for life, say animal rights activists in the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine, which is now protesting against the use of live animal teaching labs at Duke and other universities. Activists said the use of animals is unnecessary and barbaric. “[Students] cud up causing the death of the first living patient they work on,” said Dr. Murray Cohen, who works for PCRM. “It precludes the development of compassion.” Duke’s School of Medicine is the only medical school ranked in the top 10 by U.S. News & World Report magazine that Dr. Murray Cohen still uses live animal labs, said Cohen. “It really isn’t possible anymore for the supporters of dog labs to say it’s essential to medical education,” he said. “Many surgeons have become surgeons withcut using animal labs.” Medical school first-years attend labs in which
pigs are first put to sleep and then used to demonstrate the effects of drugs on heart rate, blood pressure and other indicators.
“Students almost universally are in support of it. Less than 5 percent opt out,” said Dr. Bryant Stolp, the assistant professor of anesthesiology who directs the labs. One of those students, Evan Buxbaum, invited Cohen to give a talk in Zener Auditorium last Friday. PCRM also ran a full-page ad in The Chronicle that traded on ABC talk-show host Bill Maher’s celebrity to attack animal labs. Alternatives to animal labs should be seriously considered, Cohen said. “Probably the best would be the Harvard m0de1...,” he said. “Let them rotate in the operating room and let them see in bold relief an effort to cure disease.” He also suggested that students use computer programs to simulate the animal labs. “With [the computer program] SymßioSys you can do anything you can with a dog lab,” he said.
Distinguished historian speaks, page
The medical school, however, already employs these alternatives, Stolp said. Students rotate through surgery during their second year and use the SymßioSys program. Physicians at the School of Medicine said live animal labs make physiology and pharmacology more memorable. “Nothing beats hands-on learning,” said Stolp. “You can simulate only so much.” Stolp added that SymßioSys is not nearly complex enough to substitute for a live animal. “CD-ROMs are grossly deficient in the upper levels of learning,” Stolp said. “Right now there’s nothing available to us that does the job [as well as animal labs].” More expensive computer simulators, such as those used by Stanford University School of Medicine, might eventually be able to replace pigs at Duke, Stolp said. The simulators would cost $250,000 per year to install and $200,000 per year to operate, Stolp said, compared to the $4,000-per-year price tag for maintaining the pig labs. “We’d certainly consider going to something like that if we had the [financial] support,” Stolp said.

Supreme Court overrules death penalties By LINDA GREENHOUSE N.Y. Times News Service
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court Tuesday set aside the death sentences of two convicted murderers in Virginia, indicating in two separate decisions that despite the sharp restrictions imposed on federal courts by a 1996 law, federal judges still have a significant role to play in reviewing the quality of justice administered by the states One of the decisions unanimously granted a new hearing on allegations of juror bias and prosecutorial misconduct to an inmate who was 50 minutes away from execution when the Supreme Court intervened in October to grant a stay and accept his case for review.
The second decision was a splintered ruling that was considerably more equivocal as the court grappled with the ambiguously worded core provisions of the 1996 law, the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act By a 5-4 vote, the court accepted the view of the
law’s supporters that federal judges must defer even to a state court decision they regard as incorrect, as long as the decision was not “unreasonable.” But at the same time, the court was unanimous in rejecting a definition of “unreasonable” that as a practical matter would have meant that federal courts would have almost never been able to review state See

GPSC hears Local protesters arrested, detained inD.C. VP’s take on More than 90 activists from Triangle-area colleges traveled to the weekend event grad parking By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle CHAPEL HILL After 27 hours in

By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle
Undergraduates may think they have it tough when it comes to parking, but they will not get much sympathy from Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. The University’s highest-ranking official with direct oversight on parking spoke to the Graduate and Professional Student Council last night, when he bashed the University’s current parking system. “I have spent 35 years on a number of college and university campuses and I have... never seen a parking system so screwed up [as Duke’s},” Trask said. He added that a part of the problem was the result of the University and the Medical Center operating on different parking schemes. But he also said the current allocation of spaces on the University side is wholly inefficient. Trask was clear that next year’s parking layout is not a permanent solution, but he assured GPSC that graduate students would not be hurt by the new plan. “For next year, if anything, I think graduate students will actually be a little better off,” he said. To alleviate the parking stress on graduate students, the University will build two new parking lots with approximately 500 spots. These spaces will replace those lost when construction begins on a new dormitory in the Ocean parking lot. In the long term, Trask said, the University plans to gate many more lots to prevent rampant illegal parking. Along with the re-allocation of spaces, there will be a general increase in parking prices. Although prices will not rise substantially next year, Trask said, the administration plans an even-

Pettis and his girlfriend Lucie Laurian traveled with more than 90 protesters from both UNC-CH and Duke and about 27,000 other Americans to Washington to try to stop the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings this weekend. Many of the protesters contended that the IMF’s and World Bank’s policies have hurt the developing countries they are designed to help. On his way out of the jail, Pettis saw Laurian walking in a different line, crying. He told her to remain strong. “The officers yelled at me, ‘Do you want us to move you to cell block?’” he said. “That was their threat all weekend. They said, ‘We’ll put you where all the murderers and rapists are, and they’re going to hurt you.’” Then, Pettis was dragged back into the jail’s depths, where officers sandwiched his head between jail bars and eventually put him at the back of the processing line. Several of the activists gathered yesterday at UNC to relate their stories. Each said the group was focused on fighting the IMF and World Bank, but that the police department and National Guard’s confrontational tactics at times forced the protest to turn against the police. Sgt. Joe Gentile ofthe Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department said the officers behaved very professionally. “We allowed them a certain amount of latitude because we’re the

Drug that aids smokers may reduce cocaine addiction
Duke researchers believe the discovery might lead to new addiction-fighting drugs and novel treatment By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle
A drug primarily used to help people quit smoking may also reduce cocaine addiction, based on recent tests on rats. “This research opens a new approach to the treatment of cocaine abuse, which has been resistant to treatment in general,” said Jed Rose, chief of the Medical Center’s Nicotine Research Program. Mecamylamine, which has been available for nearly half a century, was originally used to treat high blood pressure and has been known to help smokers quit. Currently, the drug is under Food and Drug Administration review as a treatment for both smoking and Tourette’s syndrome in children. Mecamylamine works by blocking nicotonic receptors in the brain that would normally release dopamine, the primary chemical involved in generating feelings of pleasure. An addicted individual’s desire for cocaine is weakened when the drug cannot produce any feeling of pleasure in the brain. Nicotine, cocaine and alcohol are just a few of the drugs that increase dopamine in the brain. Mecamylamine’s presence may affect the pleasure-inducing qualities of other drugs, including cocaine.
I«1|IF3
IrJ
ED LEVIN of the Nicotine Research Program works with mecamylamine, currently known for helping smoking cessation, to potentially reduce cocaine addicts’ dependency problems.
“[Mecamylaminel indirectly affects the system that cocaine normally stimulates,” explained Edward Levin, lead researcher and associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral science. A paper about his research on the topic is currently being reviewed by several journals in the field. Levin predicts that this research
will pave the way for the discovery of new addiction-fighting drugs that will reduce the side effects of treatment. “The results of this study can be used to find and develop even better antagonists that are more specific in targeting the sub-receptors directly stimulated in drug addiction,” he said. Levin and his colleagues observed
rats that were injected with varying concentrations of mecamylamine. Previously, the rats developed a cocaine addiction by learning to press levers to get injections of cocaine. The study closely models human behavior because people also self-administer their cocaine. This research may also open new doors to identifying other ways to ease cocaine addiction. “Through this research, we can find and understand the specific mechanism in the brain that can be exploited for treatment,” said Dr. Paul Sanberg, the University of South Florida’s director of neurosurgical research. “[Mecamylamine] increases the arsenal available to treat this addiction, which is an important avenue to provide addicts.” Levin observed an average 40 to 50 percent reduction in the number of times the mecamylamine-injected rats pressed the lever for cocaine. Concurrent tests were also conducted to ensure that the administered mecamylamine was not affecting food consumption and was specifically targeting drug enforcement. These findings may demonstrate mecamylamine’s ability to curb cocaine cravings.
The Medical Center study was funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Historian relates story of 1900s black businesswoman By KIA WRIGHT The Chronicle
Smatterings of applause and laughter interrupted a Tuesday night speech by Darlene Clark Hine, a distinguished professor of history at Michigan State University.
Amused by Hine’s wit and intellect, the lively audience listened as Hine spoke about women in black history. Black women’s burdens are unique, Hine said,
explaining that they deal with the oppressive and unique intersection ofrace, class and gender. Because ofthis combination, she added, it is especially important for black women to make links to their own history. Citing a need for the non-academic world to learn about this history, Hine spoke of Madame C.J. Walker, a black female entrepreneur and one of America’s first black millionaires. Explaining Walker’s “telling life,” Hine told ofher upbringing in a poverty-stricken home. Through her diligence, Walker founded a black hair-care business in the early 1900s, a time period plagued by extreme violence and oppression for blacks. “[The business had] profound psychological and economic ramifications within the black community,” Hine said. A major problem for tum-of-the-century black
women, Hine explained, was a feeling of inadequacy regarding personal appearance and self-worth. Plagued by the psychological effects of their socioeconomic status, black women found a new sense of personal merit in Walker’s products, which were produced specifically with black women in mind, Hine said. Walker helped black women define themselves and their beauty, instead of letting someone else do it for them. Hine praised Walker for applying her personal principles to her professional goals. Calling Walker’s attitude an “uplift ideology,” Hine added that Walker embraced and applauded racial worth, urging black women to take “great pride in appearance.” Hine also highlighted the application of Walker’s “uplift ideology” in the workplace. Practically everyone employed in Walker’s business was black, Hine noted, making Walker an advocate for a new black consciousness within the area of economic activity. Along with calling Walker a token of encouragement to many of her peers, Hine added that Walker serves as an excellent role model today.
Walker’s linked values of “beauty, politics and earning a living” helped reshape an economic and aesthetic history largely controlled by whites. “[Walker is an example] by which we can all achieve a better world,” Hine said.
DARLENE CLARK NINE, a Michigan State University professor, said black women face special challenges in American society.

Scholar praises NAFTA, globalization Wetland creation
project progresses
By PATRICIA JORDAN The Chronicle
Even though NAFTA affects every American, fewer than 10 people joined Brigham Young University Professor Earl Fry for his talk on United States-Canadian trade after the implementation of NAFTA. Perhaps the low attendance was indicative of one of Fry’s observations about Americans concerning the North American Free Trade Agreement; Many Americans hold negative views toward NAFTA, not because the treaty has caused them great economic harm, but primarily because of their ignorance of it. Fiy, the director of BYLTs Washington Seminar Program, believes most Americans would be more supportive of NAFTA if they understood its benefits. “Americans think globalization goes along with financial instability” he said. “They are fearful for their own jobs and the jobs of their children.” Fry sees this attitude especially among the “digitalhave-nots.” Although the United States will inevitably lose low-skill jobs as a result of globalization, he explained, Americans are making up for this loss in jobs requiring highly trained, better-paid workers. Interestingly enough, Ben Fullalove, an art history
graduate student from Canada, said Canadians’ greatest fear about NAFTA is losing their cultural and economic control without maintaining their political sovereignty. Canadians are worried about preserving their cultural heritage, he said, even if it means limited access to certain Internet sites or television programs from other countries. Fry, on the other hand, does not foresee such an outcome. “I think consumer sovereignty will prevail in that area,” he said. Fry’s talk focused mostly on the tightly knit relationship between the United States and Canada. The
professor explained that despite the fact that economic interaction with Mexico is more publicized than its trade with Canada, the neighbor to the north is actually a more valuable trading partner. Three million
� After some concern and confusion about the University’s eligibility for a state grant, officials will soon begin building a wetland in Duke Forest. By CHRIS McHUGH The Chronicle
After almost a year ofwaiting, Duke Forest will become home to a new wetland in the very near future. After initial concerns over funding, the University has obtained grants from two state sources that will
EARL FRY, a Brigham Young University professor, said more Americans would support NAFTA ifthey knew more about it.
U.S. jobs are linked to Canada. More significantly, he said, the United States and Canada are the leading suppliers of imports for each other. In fact, Fry explained that Canadian manufacturers produce more goods for the United States than for their own country. He added that Canadians are the United States’ primary source offoreign tourists and that the United States exports more to the province of Ontario than to Japan. Fry believes the future of NAFTA holds possibilities like “pre-processing,” where officials could check immigrants and commercial vehicles by computer before they cross borders. Overall, Fry stressed that Americans must be willing to accept certain sacrifices to be successful. “We need to be prepared to give up some of our national sovereignty for the good of our people,” he said.
enable construction to begin in two months. The wetland is expected to improve the quality of water in Durham and provide University students with opportunities for teaching and research. Professor of Resource Ecology Curt Richardson, director of the University Wetland Center, is looking forward to starting construction. ‘The contract is still being drawn up, and the planning is not finished, but we hope to begin by June 1,” he said. At the outset ofthe project, officials were concerned that the University would be unable to receive state funding because of its status as a private institution, However, the Clean Water Management Trust Fund will be giving $582,500 to the project, and the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program will provide $94,531. The NCWRP will then work together with the University as its main sponsor on the program, avoiding any problems there may have been with the private institution status. The site for the project encompasses eight acres near the Duke Golf Course toward the lower end of the driving range.

Maslow accused Odar of general campaign violations and alleged that she hung unapproved banners, sent an endorsement to The Chronicle without the signers’ approval, had a slanderous email sent to the track team on her behalf and left a link to the DevilNet voting site on her home page after it was supposed to be taken down. “Had she followed [the by-laws] like everyone else did, I would have been
more willing to accept the results of the

I hope not to offend anyone who may be friends with him, but I suggest you pick better friends.” Early Wednesday morning, Payne said Odar did not ask him to write the e-mail and that he would likely file a complaint against Maslow for a “nasty e-mail” Maslow sent back. Odar rebutted Maslow’s complaints, arguing that the Election Commission

UNC grad student charges police mistreated her in jail �WASHINGTON from page 3 was marching in a group of 3,000 people Monday, she was surrounded by police officers in full riot gear, most of whom
had taken off their badges. Gentile pointed out, however, that riot gear is designed to fit over the regular uniform and has no slot for a badge. Laurian and Pettis, who were marching in a group led by national protest organizer Brian Becker, were arrested at a police-sanctioned rally. The procession started at the Department ofJustice, Pettis said, and police allowed it to continue to the World Bank building and then to DuPont Circle. Police officers surrounded the group as it worked its way down 20th Street and arrested most of the crowd. Laurian, a UNC graduate student,
said some women remained in buses for almost an entire day without food or water, with their hands tied but with food available in their backpacks. She said that despite the crowd’s willingness to disperse, police arrested her, kept her in a bus for a while and then took her to jail. “We stayed for two hours in Alcatraz-looking cells, piss smell, but otherwise we were not touched,” she said. “We were without sleep for 27 hours, without food and water.... We could go to the bathroom to change tampons but there was no water, so it was extremely dangerous hygienically. Some women’s tampons were taken when they went to jail... [The policel had this sadistic ritual where from behind the wall they would say ‘pizza, pepperoni.’”

Wetland will become outdoor lab Court constrains � WETLAND from page 6
In the end, the project will protect and improve the water quality by acting as a buffer that will dampen the effect ofpollutants on watersheds. For University officials, though, the project’s more exciting benefit is the educational opportunities that it will present—Duke is currently seeking $1 million in funding to help with research and teaching at the wetland. Lisa Blumenthal, an associate in research at the Nicholas School of the Environment, said, “There are plans for an indoor modeling facility utilizing computers that will allow students to have access to automated data as it is happening.” The Pratt School of Engineering and NSOE will link together on this project and share the wetland’s benefits. Still, there is much more funding needed before the indoor facility becomes a reality.
There has been little opposition to the project from the community or neighboring areas that may be affected by construction Ed Ibarguen, general manager of the Duke Golf Course, is enthusiastic about the project and hopes that the wetland will also be able to help the course. “I’m not concerned with construction at all. We are just hopeful that water from the wetland will be available to us during drought periods,” he said. “But we’re not really sure about that right now.” Initially, people who run on campus were concerned that construction may damage the cross-country running trail. “There will be a short section that will [needl to be relocated,” admitted Judson Edebum, Duke Forest resource manager. But he said people will be able to continue to use the trail during construction.

added that he believes animal labs will always be the best option, but conceded that many still question whether their educational value justifies their humane cost. Washington University School of Medicine abandoned its dog labs three years ago because of financial concerns and pressure from animal rights activists, said Dr. Ted Cicero, vice chancellor for research at Washington University.
The school has filled the gap with more classroom time. “Personally, I probably think [abandoning the labs] was a mistake,” Cicero said. “I think it’s an invaluable experience to deal with a living animal.” Duke School of Medicine is currently undergoing a curriculum review, and administrators said that the labs would come under scrutiny. “I think we’re very sensitive to this issue,” said Professor of Anesthesiology Joseph Reves, “I don’t think anyone’s unalterably committed to animal labs.”

death row appeals � COURT from page 2
court rulings. Applying the law, the court then voted 6-3 that the inmate was entitled to a new sentencing hearing because his lawyer’s performance at the original hearing fell below the minimum constitutional standards of competence. Both decisions were coincidentally, and confusingly, named Williams v. Taylor; the inmate in the first case, No. 99-6615, is Michael Williams, and in the second case, No. 98-8384, the inmate is Terry Williams. John Taylor is the warden of the Sussex State Prison in Waverly, Va., where both are housed. Both cases happened to be death penalty appeals, coming at a time of heightened public concern over the fairness of the way capital punishment is applied. But the court was interpreting statutory provisions that apply across the board and are not limited to the death penalty. While it is unusual for the court to overturn two death sentences on a single day, there was no suggestion that the court is reassessing its stance toward capital punishment. Since the retirement of Justice Harry Blackmun in 1994, no member ofthe court has taken a position of blanket opposition to the death penalty. The two decisions were the court’s most important rulings to date on the meaning of the 1996 law, by which Congress sought to limit the authority of federal courts to grant petitions for writs ofhabeas corpus. These petitions, challenging the constitutionality of a conviction or sentence, are the only source of federal jurisdiction over state criminal convictions and have long been a target of those seeking to curb federal authority over the states. Somewhat surprisingly for the current Supreme Court, which in many ways has helped marshal the attack on federal habeas corpus, Tuesday’s decisions amounted to a rebuff of the conservative federal appeals court that has most aggressively picked up that battle cry, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Richmond, Va. Both decisions overturned 4th Circuit rulings. Another 4th Circuit decision, a ruling last year that declared the Supreme Court’s Miranda decision to no longer be good law, will be the subject of an argument before the justices today.

tual drastic increase in the price ofcertain undergraduate lots. “For a significant portion of undergraduates,
we’re basically a warehouse,” he said. “They bring ‘em in, maybe go out on the weekends.” However, graduate students will be largely exempted from the increasing parking costs. “Of all the people in the world, graduate students have the least amount of money and the most need for mobility,” Trask said, adding that the current policy takes their needs into consideration. GPSC representatives asked several questions about the feasibility of holding a graduate student basketball campout amid undergraduate cars. Trask assured the group that in the unlikely event that the campout could not be held in its usual location, a suitable new site would be found. IN OTHER BUSINESS: Scott Keane, GPSC representative to the Facilities and Environment Committee, reported that air conditioning will be in place in Cameron Indoor Stadium by next basketball season. Renovations for the stadium, which were approved at the committee’s last meeting, include a new staircase and several additional women’s bathrooms. The GPSC office will have a new location effective next year. The Duke University Union approved a proposal for the office to take the current location of the Bryan Center information desk. According to the proposal submitted to the Union, GPSC should move into its new home by July 1. The Council approved a $3,000 honorarium for president Tomalei Vess before closing its final meeting of the year. New officers will take their positions upon graduation in May. “It’s been a great year,” said Vess. “Given the composition of the council and its strength, I think we can go really far next year.”
�UNION from page 1 But union proponents called the restructuring nothing more than a strategic move. “Obviously, they’re trying to address concerns of nurses. It may be a good move. Even the threat of having a union—at least it’s getting them off their butts...,” Miller said. “[But] who knows if this reshuffling could go right back to the same old way if the. union was to fail?” And clinical nurse Doug Buehrle, a union supporter, said the new structure would not ameliorate nurses’ complaints, anyway. “We’ve already had nurses in upper management positions,” he said, referring specifically to Nevidjon. ‘The upper management is out of touch with the pulse of what is really happening on the f100r.... I don’t think the shuffle in administration at this point will change any issues we’re facing.” Although Miller suggested that the administrative adjustments might be considered an unfair labor practice, Israel stressed that the change has been in the works for a while and that Nevidjon’s resignation provided a timely opportunity.
demand that certain groups of nurses who have expressed no interest in unionizing be included in
the vote. “Mr. Israel would like to use these nurses to water down our vote,” Buehrle said. “These nurses would most likely be ‘no’ votes. However, if Mr. Israel is willing to use them in his anti-union efforts, I think they really need to consider their need to be represented. No one likes to be used; the end does not justify the means.” But Israel said officials have not yet decided whether they would request a larger voting pool. Now Hospital officials are waging an education campaign to inform employees about both the bene-
fits and dangers of unionization. Hospital administrators have begun distributing both government- and Hospital-produced pamphlets and holding information sessions, Israel said, trying to do their part to ensure that employees know what to expect as talks about unionization become more serious.
Miller, however, said the Hospital’s efforts would be “a snowstorm of misinformation” and added that Duke officials incorrectly label union

A failing fraternity policy The University’s current policy for “punishing” fraternities and selective houses amounts to no more than empty threats
The
University has parceled out prime pieces of its West Campus real estate to fraternities and selective houses. In return, these groups are supposed to provide social options, perform community service and contribute to a pleasant residential environment. But when many groups are consistently on suspension for excessive noise and damage to their living sections and for being menaces to their neighbors, we must begin to question the University’s nonstance on this recidivism. In addition, we must evaluate the appropriateness ofpunishing groups by suspending them from hosting the social events they are here to provide. And when groups openly flout the suspensions they have been given, we must seriously question the University’s commitment to enforcing its tough-sounding rules. This shirking ofresponsibility by the University was most obvious March 31, during a Crowell Quadrangle party hosted by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. The fraternity had just been placed on a serious, longterm suspension, but the scene bore all the marks of a forbidden event: amplified sound, drinking games and scantily clad women. University administrators knew the party was occurring. But they turned a blind eye, refusing to enforce one of the strictest punishments they have handed down in years. Instead, administrators said only a formal complaint could compel them to do their jobs. Imagine if a guard put a prisoner in a jail, forgot to lock the door and walked away. We’d be furious, right? Imagine further that the guard, upon seeing the prisoner roaming around the streets, refused to arrest him unless a citizen filed a formal complaint. We would never accept such blatant disregard for common sense and just punishment if it came from our public corrections system, and we should not condone it from the University. Who can blame Phi Psi members for having raucous parties when they know that their “suspension” will probably not be enforced? Phi Psi and the other groups that are repeatedly on suspension present another question that the University must deal with: How can Duke justify keeping groups on campus that are too frequently on suspension to provide benefits to the community—and that have also had trouble passing their annual review? Beyond enforcing its own rules, the University should reopen discussion about whether fraternities and selective houses should have the best space on campus guaranteed to them. President Nan Keohane closed the issue two years ago at the end of a lengthy campus discussion about residential space allocation. But everything else about that proposed plan was tossed out the window as the University focused on planning the new dormitory. If some groups are always on suspension and not helping the community, we must ask why ending their reign is the only idea offthe table.

DUFs routine includes hefty charitable contributions We would like to commend and congratulate Duke University Improv on a brilliantly hysterical performance Friday night. What we find most amazing, however, is that this was not just about comedy. It’s also about a dedication to a cause that is personal to a few members of the group and embraced 100 percent by each member. DUI has raised over $20,000 for the Scott Carter Cancer Foundation, a sum raised solely by the energy, desire and cooperation of 14 Duke students. As seniors and close friends of the “original eight,” for referenced
we have seen DUI grow from an idea to an established organization based on friend-
ship and laughter. It is disappointing to read letters to the editor that single out two or three sentences from four years of achievement, sentences that were taken entirely out of context. The nature of this comedy group may seem to be offensive at times, but is founded on good fun and harmless teasing. In no way did DUI mean to be malicious or insensitive to different ethnic groups. We do admit that there are racial problems fac-
ing society today, as one of us has experienced racism as a Hispanic. We understand that our society has fostered oversensitivity, but in this situation, we feel an apology from DUI is unwarranted. We should be focusing on the achievements and successes of the DUI members and their dedication to a greater cause. Thank you, DUI, for four wonderful years.

The Chronicle inadequately covers cultural events As one of the largest student organizations on campus, Diya hopes that The Chronicle will increase its coverage of cultural events and minority affairs on campus. In November, Diya’s annual Diwali program received only limited coverage from The Chronicle—specifically, only one photograph and no article. The Chronicle failed to report that Diwali—perhaps the largest student-run event at Duke—relocated to the Great Hall and Page Auditorium, where a two-night, sold-out
audience experienced sights and sounds unique to the mainstream Duke culture. In February, The Chronicle provided similarly scanty coverage of the Asian Students Association’s Lunar New Year. It is a shame that our events receive such neglect from the primary source of campus news, especially when they involve hundreds of Duke students. We hope that The Chronicle will increase its coverage of minority events at Duke. We have several
events planned through the remainder of the year, including one this Friday. The Chronicle has the ability to help unite Duke by increasing awareness of cross-cultural events. Please do so.

The scope of these four years looks agnificent on paper. There’s a list of illities that a Duke education should ive instilled in order for us to graduate s well-informed and well-rounded indiiduals. Ah, so these are the real graduaion requirements. Here are a few ivorites at which I have witnessed Duke tudents excel: Write effectively. Or at least effecively enough to pass the class with ainimal effort. Communicate well orally. This idudes such intelligent bus conversation “Have you ever been to Mexican City?” id fraternity guys ordering food at an’s: “Uhmm, hook me up with the eneralT!” Develop an awareness of social problems. Only if those social problems involve below-average sex, alcohol and campus parking. In times of hurricanes and other inclement weather, these concerns remain, along with the annoyance that the hurricanes aren’t actually scary enough for you to have “fun.” Actual Durham residents not residing in Gothic fortresses powered by under-
shortages. Appreciate art, literature, music and drama. Not applicable to engineering students and science majors. Bonus points for those who appreciate theater that does not involve bursting into song and/or dance. Identify moral and ethical issues, This usually involves saying “But whose morality are we going by?” and other such ethically relativist statements. Situational ethics prevail. Truth is relative. Develop self-esteem/self-confidence. A prime example: Ordering the McDonald’s two-for-one apple pie deal while not cowering as the horde of sorority girls snarfing McFlurries snickers at your piggish gluttony. You read that motivational pamphlet during body-image/eating disorders/rape awareness week, didn’t you? Understanding myself and others, Read above. Read or speak a foreign language. Everyone at Duke speaks French and Spanish fluently with an attractive American accent not found appalling by native speakers. And they all know the location ofMexican City. Evaluate the role of science and technology in society. Or at least enough to write an essay about it to get into a good medical school. Gain in-depth knowledge of a field. Please choose a practical field that will not make people laugh at you. This excludes drama, philosophy, literary-type things and Program 11.

For example, upon hearing of my interest in a drama major, my adviser promptly queried “And what are you gonna do with that? Do you want to be an AK-TRESS or something?” I immediately appreciated that he had been reading the Program in Drama literature and was aware of the many possibilities that a student well-educated in liberal arts and theater has after graduation, Then I pointed out that I could also “write effectively” in addition to “pretending to be other people on a stage.” Town-gown relations are also in stellar shape. Durham residents love Duke basketball, but it isn’t commonly known that they also love the way we make light of their city, referring to it as a hole and lamenting about its dearth of entertainment offerings.

rou throw in cirrhosis, alcohol poisoning and other dcohol-induced fatal illnesses, this number jumps to a topping 65,000 a year, according to the National astitutes of Health, That is a hell of a lot of dead people. Each year ilcohol and its effects kill more Americans than died n Vietnam. All this seems to be lost on Duke students, who glee% go about getting drunk on a regular basis, drink's underage and drink and drive. Alcohol is a mood-altering substance, whose primaPurpose—and ls

myself, but I have plenty of friends who do, some of whom make their own beer. Alcohol has some health benefits as well. All the handwaving about the evils of alcohol aside, one truth remains: Responsible drinking, regardless of the age of drinker or type ofalcohol, kills next to nobody. Now, let’s talk about firearms. The people who shoot recreationally are usually rural or suburban blue-collar folks, and most don’t have much in common with Duke students. There’s a wide gulf of distance and income separating the two populations, and it’s easy for wealthy kids to hate and fear what they do not understand, as some recent columns in The Chronicle
Trying to legally differentiate between the “good” and “bad" firearms is pretty much futile.
effect—is to lower social inhibitions.
these inhibitions that ordinarily keep
us from
loln g antisocial things, like shooting people. Maybe it’s time we rethought the 18th and 21st ftiendments. Maybe prohibition wasn’t a bad thing after all. There are plenty of counterarguments to this idea, lc h as the high and inflexible demand for alcohol which nn gs about black markets and crime, the inability of lw enforcement to stop people from drinking. These are °d arguments, but what are you going to tell a parent ?tl ose child was run down by a drunk driver? W course, I’m ignoring one big fact here. Alcohol Onsumption is fun. Lots of people do it. I don’t drink
have demonstrated. Upper-middle class urbanites do not have to deal with poisonous snakes under their back porch, deer coming through their windshields or wild and dangerous dogs. Gun control is an exercise in reactionary politics. Take the assault weapons ban, for instance. Somebody apparently thought that we should make sure some of the ugliest and least lethal rifles on the market—Aß-15’s and Kalashnikovs—less available. It hasn’t even had that effect. Throw prohibitions on inaccurate, unreliable, underpowered, poorly balanced and difficult-to-conceal junkhandguns like the TEC-9 and MAC-10/11, and you
have a... good idea? Do we want aspiring young thugs and mass murderers to switch to something more socially acceptable and effective, like 12-gauges and .30-06’s? I imagine a handgun ban would be just about as good an idea. Firearms shoot projectiles. Trying to legally differentiate between the “good” and “bad” firearms is pretty much futile. The functional difference between a handgun and a (non-gas-operated) rifle is a hacksaw, a file and a couple ofhours—except cutdown rifles are more deadly and are still able to punch through most bulletproof vests. Furthermore, the epidemiological rhetoric about the dangers posed by firearms in the home springs from poorly controlled studies and health care professionals with an ideological axe to grind. Many physicians’ associations urge people get rid of guns in the home to reduce the risk that their owners will be struck dead by them. Following this line of statistical reasoning, I fully expect the AMA to urge the removal ofall Pet Shop Boys CDs from homes, lest people be struck gay by them. Don’t get me wrong. Licensure and safety tests are a good idea, especially since most people these days learned everything they think they know about firearms from TV and movies. For example, Handgun Control, Inc.’s position paper on assault weapons describes weapons seen only on TV. The concern of shooters and the NRA is that no matter what gun controls get passed, there will still be tragic shootings, and people won’t stop wanting more controls until all firearms are outlawed. Responsible gun ownership, regardless of the age of shooter or type of weapon, kills next to no one. Enjoy your beer.

NCAA confronts South Carolina flag controversy ByANYASOSTEK The Chronicle
Red is not one of Penn State’s school colors. But when they took the field against the Winthrop baseball team March 18-19, every Nittany Lion sported a red wristband in protest of the Confederate flag flying above the state capitol. That weekend, Penn State joined the growing list of sports organizations that have made some sort of statement against the Confederate flag. The resistance has been slowly building since January, when the NAACP first announced the boycott. Some NCAA schools in the Philadelphia area, including Temple and Swarthmore, canceled lacrosse and tennis matches in South Carolina, and various professional and national sports organizations have taken action. In addition, several prominent individuals in the sporting world, like Serena Williams, Lou Holtz and Terry Bowden, have expressed their support of the boycott. the South Although Carolina state senate voted last week to remove the flag from atop the statehouse, the NAACP is continuing the boycott because the bill hangs a

ment on statehouse grounds. Similarly, the NCAA is awaiting the legislature’s final decision before it changes policy. For now, NCAA officials are taking seriously a letter they received from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The letter asked the NCAA to move the 2002 regional basketball tournament from Greenville, S.C., if the flag is still flying. Wally Renfro, public relations director for the NCAA, sees a sports boycott as another chapter in the long history of sports and politics. “I think you have to understand that sports in America are a microcosm of society—people love their sports,” Renfro said. “This is not the first time by a long shot that sports have been used for political purposes and it won’t be the last time. Sports is where human drama is played out and it doesn’t stop THE CONFEDERATE FLAG has become a fixture atop the South Carolina Capitol for politics.” but pressure from all sides, now including the NCAA, is changing that.

Crowd applauds Rocker in return By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press
John Rocker returned to a ATLANTA standing ovation last night, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in his first game since rejoining the Atlanta Braves after a twoweek suspension. ' The crowd of 34,903 gave Rocker a big cheer when the reliever ran in from the bullpen. One fan held up a sign that read: “Rocker for President.”
Rocker struck out the first hitter he faced, Philadelphia’s Mickey Morandini, walked the next batter and then got two flyouts. Rocker left with the score tied at 3. When he exited after his one-inning outing, many of the fans left Turner Field, too. The Braves eventually won 4-3 in 12 innings.
There was hardly a hint of protest before the game, with Rocker hoping fans remember his fastball more than his foul mouth. The game against the Phillies seemed just like another nondescript, midweek contest except for a lot more reporters. The reliever came back after serving his penalty, imposed for comments about minori- JOHN ROCKER returned from his 14-day suspension to ties, gays and immigrants. provide much needed relief for the Braves bullpen.

Hawks forward ATLANTA Roshown McLeod was arrested on simple battery charges Monday night in suburban Atlanta. Police in the northwest suburb of Marietta arrested McLeod, a secondyear forward out of Duke, about 11 p.m. Monday night, Cobb County sheriffs Lt. Ronald Cross said. He posted bond of $l,lOO, Cross said. Hawks general manager Pete Babcock and team spokesman Arthur Triche confirmed the arrest but would not give details before the Hawks’ game with the New Jersey Nets last night. “From what we know about it, it’s just a major misunderstanding,” Babcock said. 'That was a personal matter, and I promised Ro I wouldn’t tell.” McLeod was in uniform Tuesday night but had no comment. “It’s not something we’re concerned about his health or his physical wellbeing,” Babcock said. McLeod, 24, has averaged 7.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 43 games this year with the Hawks, who have the second-worst record in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. McLeod graduated from Duke in 1998 and was an All-American and team captain his senior season. He helped lead the Blue Devils to an appearance in the Elite Eight in 1998, the first since 1994.

Sabres avoid sweep in OT; Devils, Stars push toward semis From wire reports
BUFFALO, N.Y. Stu Sabres 3 Barnes scored on an off2 balance shot 4:42 into Flyers overtime as the Buffalo Sabres stayed alive with a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers last night. Curtis Brown and Miroslav Satan each had a goal and assist for the Sabres, who cut the Flyers’ best-ofseven series lead to 3-1. The Sabres won despite blowing a 2-0 lead while also overcoming yet another disputed goal. Game 5 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series is Thursday at Philadelphia. Rick Tocchet and Keith Primeau scored and Mark Recchi had two assists for the Flyers, who have lost eight straight overtime playoff games. Their last overtime win in the postseason came in the 1995 conference finals against New Jersey. James Patrick set up the game-winning play when he kept the puck in at the right point. He fed a bouncing pass to Barnes, who was parked in the slot. Turning
towards the net, and falling down, Bames wristed a shot that went over defenseman Dan McGillis and the left shoulder ofrookie goalie Brian Boucher. Only two teams—the 1975 New York
Islanders and the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs—have rallied from a 3-0 deficit in NHL playoff history. Down 2-0, the Flyers got on the board when Tocchet deflected Recchi’s point shot through Hasek’s legs 13:55 into the second period. It was Philadelphia’s sixth power-play goal of the series. Primeau tied it with 1:35 left in the second after being set up by Recchi. Recchi got a weak bouncing shot off and Hasek couldn’t control the rebound. Recchi then swiped the puck into the slot where Primeau chipped it in. Buffalo almost won in regulation but Boucher slid across the crease and got his arm up just in time to block Chris Gratton’s shot from the slot five minutes into the third. With 6:40 left, Boucher made three consecutive tough stops, foiling Richard Smehlik, Brown and Satan. The Sabres got off to a great start despite having another controversial call go against them.

Sir Charles will be sorely missed in the ‘uncivilized’ NBA In the early 1980s, the employees of the Pizza Hut located in Auburn, Ala. were given a few things
to memorize. The correct temperature for the oven, the prices for each topping. But most importantly, they learned that if someone called and simply said, “This is Charles,” three large supreme pizzas should be sent immediately to the dorm room of Auburn’s star forward. Hence the nickname, the Round Mound ofRebound. Charles Barkley, one of the NBA’s greatest characters, will say his final farewell tonight when the Houston Rockets take the court against the Vancouver Grizzlies. Barkley, who ruptured a tendon in his knee in a December game vs. Philadelphia, announced his retirement Dec. 9 but will return to the court for one
last hurrah. Looking back on his career, it is phenomenal what Barkley has added to the game of basketball, both on
and off the court.
While he is listed at 6-foot-6 and 252 pounds, any fellow player will tell you that on a good day Sir Charles reaches just over 6-4. Any fellow player will also tell you, though, he played a heck of a lot taller than any size measurement. Not only was Sir Charles listed among the NBAs 50 Greatest Players ofAll-Time, he is one of only three players to record more than 20,000 points, 12,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists. The impressive numbers don’t stop there, however. Barkley won two Olympic gold medals and was named the 1992-93 NBA Most Valuable Player, an All-Star 11 times and All-NBA first team five times. Despite all these amazing numbers, it was personality that made Barkley stand out from the rest. His good humor, his short temper, his bluntness. One thing Charles did not lack —confidence. When asked about the dangers of carrying a gun, he responded, “I won’t kill myself; I’m one of my favorite people.” Barkley, like any other person, had moments he
Upon further review Brian Kane would like to forget. Such as when he spit at a fan who was heckling him and instead showered a little girl. Or when he ended a bar fight by throwing a man through
the bar’s glass window. He was constantly defending himself to the media, explaining that he was just as human as them and prone to make mistakes. He preached the fact that he was not a role model, that a kid’s parents should fill that position. Barkley knew that everyone’s child could not grow up to be a professional basketball player, but that every child could get a solid education. At times, Charles was held under the microscope for speaking his mind. But when he was on the court smiling and laughing and rebounding, his shortcomings were certainly forgotten. He is an inspiration to short people everywhere, as he is one of the most prolific rebounders the game has ever seen despite giving up nearly five inches to most forwards. And he was sure to remind everyone of his talent, saying that “any moron can score,” but it takes real talent and ability to rebound. Often times, to make up for his size, Barkley was forced to play a bit more of a physical game inside. This kind of play, along with his short fuse, has led to many altercations. In the 70s, there was Ali-Frazier, in the 80s, it became Barkley-Laimbeer. These two were in each other’s faces probably more often than any other two players in history. Despite their differences on the court, both men respected the other’s intensity and determination.

Earlier this season, Barkley found himself in a fight with Shaquille O’Neal after O’Neal threw the ball at the Rockets forward. Barkley claimed he retaliated against the big man because his grandmother taught him not to let anyone push him around. Comments like this are what made Charles the player he was. No matter what the situation was, Barkley could always add a humorous twist. Despite all his technicals and suspensions, Barkley could still be seen riding a horse in a Right Guard deodorant commercial, claiming, “Anything less would be uncivilized.” So, whether you found it humorous or offensive that Charles elbowed an Angolan in the Olympics with his team up by 50, Barkley probably doesn’t really care. One thing he has always cared about and will have to walk away without is an NBA title. His best chance came with the Phoenix Suns in 1993 against the Chicago Bulls. But this door was slammed in Game Six when John Paxson hit a game-winning three pointer as time expired. But there is a vision of Charles that will always remain in my mind. It’s one of a player who gave his all every time on the court. A player who had Scandal’s “The Warrior” as his theme music in the NBA Superstars video. It’s one of a player who brought fans to their feet on a regular basis, whether in Philadelphia, Phoenix or Houston.
And believe it or not, this player was chosen in the draft behind Sam Bowie. So, who better to discuss his impact on the world than the man himself. Tve said and done some things wrong, but I can honestly say I’ve done more right than wrong,” Barkley once said. “Am I going to heaven? It’s going to be a real

red as the Yankees kept up their dominance over Texas. Jeter’s homer came in a three-run first that pushed New York ahead to stay and eliminated any need for another miracle play. New York (10-3), off to its best start since 1988, has won 35 of the last 46 games over the Rangers, including sweeps in the last two postseasons. The Yankees won 5-4 in 11 innings on Monday night, benefiting from a bizarre double play after Texas loaded the bases with no outs in the 11th. Hernandez threw 84 ofhis 119 pitches for strikes. “He got behind a little bit early, but the good sign is he knows what it takes. It was a great effort,” Yankees manager Joe Torre said. “In the ninth inning, he was a little tired, but he knew what we were trying to do. It was not something where he had thrown too many pitches.” New York got all of its runs off Rogers, who has lost two straight home starts after putting together a 19-game home winning streak that was the third-longest in major league history. “As eventful as last night was, tonight was one of those methodical nights With nothing much exciting happening,” Texas manager Johnny Oates said. “Kenny had a little stiff back, and couldn’t get the ball down but he battled.” Jeter’s solo homer to center field got New York started. Later in the first, Tino Martinez had an RBI double and scored on Posada’s single. Posada hit a two-run homer in the fourth, his third of the season. The Yankees added another run in the fourth when left fielder Gabe Kapler misplayed a ball.

By taking a commanding lead of three games to none in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, the Devils put themselves in position to eliminate the Panthers here tomorrow night and advance to the second round.

The Stars continued to swarm around the Dallas net, but couldn’t put the Oilers away. With less than two minutes to go in the second, Guerin walked in to the left of goalie Ed Belfour and hammered a long slap shot that skipped over Belfour’s glove hand and into the net.
