NCAA set to sanction Duke Maggette admits accepting $2,000 in 1997 By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

When the book on Corey Maggette’s Duke career is finally written, the highflying former Blue Devil likely won’t be remembered for his sensational dunks, his provocative slaps of the backboard, his chiseled shoulders or even for his place as the first member of Duke’s basketball team to leave for the NBA after only one season. Instead, the the 20-year-old native of

Melrose Park, 111., who now makes more thansl million per season with the Los Angeles Clippers, will forever be remembered as the first person to prompt NCAA sanctions against Duke basketball in the

program’s 95-year history. On July 11, in a sworn iatement to Duke officials, Maggette admitted for the first time that he accepted $2,000 in cash payments from AAU coach Myron Piggie during the summer of 1997. NCAA bylaw 12.1.1-(a) says a studentathlete loses amateur status and collegiate eligibility if he uses his athletic skill for pay in that sport. “Duke University did not know and was not in a position to know that it had an ineligible player,” NCAA public inforcoordinator Jane Janikowski mation 7 said.

Hospital lease dispute may force program cuts By MARKO DJUKANOVIC The Chronicle

/ /

DUKE OFFICIALS AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS disagree about the fairness of Duke’s 1998 20-year lease of Durham Regional Hospital. While Health System administrators argue that the commissioners’ audit overvalued the hospital, the county stands by its figures.

Sometimes, a positive cash flow doesn’t signify the end of financial woes. Despite Durham Regional Hospital’s projected $1.5 million dollar profit for the upcoming fiscal year, up to $3 million worth of its programs could be cut in pursuit of a three percent operating margin, said Duke University Health System officials. The announcement came June 23 on the heels of a joint meeting between Durham County commissioners, the Durham County Hospital Corporation and DUHS. Newly appointed Durham Regional CEO Richard Liekweg said administrators do not yet know which programs might be axed. But he did offer a hint; “Certainly, those programs which we operate at a loss would be at the greatest risk.... It would be irresponsible on our part to think otherwise.” He offered the hospital’s substance abuse treatment center, Oakleigh, as a good example of a program whose lackluster financial performance over the past two years is being evaluated. “It was never said that we wouldn’t consider closing it, but that’s not the focus of the analysis,” he said. DUHS officials maintain that they did not wish to See DURHAM REGIONAL on page 39

Summer at Duke: News in a nutshell For the full texts of The Chronicle’s top news stories of the summer, see www.chronicle.duke.edu.

Appeals panel dissolves Old House CC in May Citing a “broad record of unreliability and unresponsiveness” in its May 22 statement, a three-member appeals panel dissolved Old House CC. The decision upheld a unanimous recommendation by the Annual Review Committee that resulted from the group’s failure to meet several deadlines. Former Old House CC members denounced the decision and said the missed deadlines stemmed mainly from the actions of then-former house president Matt Sherwood. Members of the group have since been reassigned to live on either Main West Campus, Central Campus or Edens Quadrangle. Several ARC members have said they

did not expect their recommendation to be upheld. “Every student member truly voted for dissolution because they believed House CC would not be dissolved,” one committee member said.

favor July 13. The ruling upheld a 1999 appellate court decision and marks the first time the high court has ruled that an employer may pay more punitive damages than the harassing employee if it fails to address the matter adequately. “This is a landmark opinion for employee-employer cases,” said Caitlyn Fulghum, an associate with Glenn, Mills and Fisher, the law firm arguing Watson’s case. “If the amount you could recover in punitive damages against the employer was limited to the amount you could recover from the individual defendant, that defeats the purpose of punitive damages.” In this case, the defendant is Duke employee Bobby Dixon, now a senior medical supply assembler at the Medical Center. In a 1996 trial, Watson successfully brought a suit against Dixon, charging that in 1992, when they were both working in the Medical Center’s sterile processing department, he made harassing phone calls to her, rubbed his body against hers, touched her breasts and drew obscene pictures of her. The jury also found that even though Watson repeatedly reported the harassment over a period of seven or eight months to her supervisors, the University did not respond until Watson suffered a nervous

A Sister s Quest for Justice

In the beginning, it was one defiant young womans passion that illuminated the memory ol her dead sister. In the end, the light hurn ing within Sheela /\garwal had spread into a national campaign to find her sisters murderer and bring him to justice in the United States. =

Last Friday, Sheela got the news that she had been waiting for. Kamlesh Agrawal, the suspect in her sister Deepa’s murder, had been arrested in a suburban hotel in Mumbai, India.

I\ tigliL bond “She was my better half, she was my big sister, she was perfect. I wanted to be her.” At times Sheela Agarwal, Trinity ’OO, still can’t believe that the sister she is describing, Deepa, is gone. Like many sisters, n i Sheela and Deepa shared at)/ Jason tight bond. Growing up in T| G' Orlando, Fla., they shared a room and never went a day without speaking, even after both went to college. But last July, their 20-year bond ended. Deepa, a student at the University of Central Florida, was living in Orlando. Sheela was in New York on an internship, but the two remained connected by phone every day. Even so, Sheela says, “When I hadn’t heard from her for a couple of days, I didn’t ,

think anything of it.” As the days passed, and her parents, who had since moved back to India, became concerned, she filed a missing persons report. A police officer was dispatched to Deepa’s apartment, searched it, but found nothing.

More days passed. Finally, Sheela persuaded the Orlando police to search the apartment again. In her bedroom, police found blood splattered on the floor; in a closet, they found Deepa’s body. In New York, Sheela received a call from her high school guidance counselor who had heard news reports of a body being found and who knew that Deepa was missing.

Later that evening, Sheela received a call from Orlando police. “I still didn’t believe it,” she says. “They couldn’t recognize the v body at all because of what j Wagner he had done,” she says. ‘He,’ . I as far as Sheela understands it, was Kamlesh Agrawal, a 21-year old fellow UCF student and Deepa’s third cousin. Two weeks after the murder, Orlando officials charged Kamlesh with the crime. “People had seen him leaving the apartment, they had heard screaming, his fingerprints were everywhere,” Sheela says. Sgt. Ron Corlew, one ofthe Orlando Police Department’s investigators for the case, could not be reached for comment following several phone calls.

SHEELA AGARWAL, TRINITY ’OO, speaks at a D.C. rally in her attempt to bring her sister’s killer to justice. The suspect fled to India just before a warrant was issued but was arrested last weekend

flown to his home country of India long before Deepa’s body was discovered. Back in Orlando, Sheela and a few friends went back to the apartment to move the rest of Deepa’s possessions. Until then, Sheela says she had rationalized her sister’s death into a denial of it. She told herself that she was simply helping her sister move out of an apartment when she came across something that was undeniable —Deepa’s blood-stained bed. Sheela’s voice breaks as she tries to describe what happened afterwards. “I left after that, I couldn’t...,” When she returned to New York, Sheela followed developments in the case and prepared to return to Duke for her senior year, a year she would have to

tackle without her sister. “The police in Orlando seemed to be doing very little,” she said. “I’m not saying it’s because she’s an Indian American but in my eyes if she was a white American there’s no way that the American public would let this lie.” With the case at a dead end, Sheela’s father began working for justice from India. “We all knew him and we knew his family and of course we confronted them in India and they said We haven’t heard from him,”’ Sheela says. Sheela’s parents themselves are fugitives from U.S. law. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, they were indicted on tax fraud charges last spring. Although a formal extradition treaty See

Dose of healthy exercise rivals anti-depression drugs A carefully planned exercise program can go a long way toward helping patients break out of major depression By MARKO DJUKANOVIC The Chronicle

Sometimes, a healthy lifestyle can prove to be just as helpful as an expensive drug A new Medical Center study found that a simple exercise program can be a viable alternative to anti-de-

pression medication. “Patients over age 50 with major depression were assigned to three-times-per-week exercise programs for four months,” said Dr. James Blumenthal, a professor of medical psychiatry and lead author of the study. “We found this exercise training to be just as effective as

anti-depression medication.” The study’s 156 patients were either assigned to an exercise program, given effective medication or both. There was no placebo or no-treatment group. In the end, all three groups showed comparable levels of improvement; 60 percent of the patients in the study no longer met the criteria for major depression. Studies comparing the effects of exercise and medication have been done before on college students, but no one had ever done a study involving clinically depressed patients. Blumenthal noted that the researchers had some good luck in conducting the study; for the most part, patients followed their programs with zeal. “The patients were pretty motivated from the start,” he said. ‘They wanted to get better and saw exercise as potentially helpful.” In addition, the team was particularly successful at getting the patients to exercise. “The adherence factor was quite outstanding, as four out of five patients stayed with [the exercise program].” Blumenthal also attributed this outcome to the researchers’ persistence; a patient who missed a workout would be contacted by the research team, making it more difficult to simply drop out of the program.

THE POSITIVE EFFECTS of exercising range beyond the obvious improvements to physical health. In addition to having fewer biological side effects than standard medication, the sense of accomplishment that accompanies an exercising program significantly boosts mental health.

However, he is not sure why exercising helped so much. One.possibility is that completing an exercise program gives patients a new sense of mastery and accomplishment.

Anastasia Georgiades, a research associate in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, praised the study’s findings and emphasized the advantages of a behavioral intervention versus a biological one. “You would avoid all the negative effects of medications... that might reduce the patients’ quality of life—exercise has few side effects,” she said.

Although newer anti-depression drugs have fewer side effects than older ones, they can still cause anxiety, sleeping problems and an increased heart rate. Also, the newest medications can be fairly expensive. The study’s findings pave the way for using exercise as a possible preventive technique. “[Exercisingl might prevent the patient, potentially, from becoming depressed,” Blumenthal said. Blumenthal is currently working on a study that will explore the effects of group support on exercise in. clinically depressed patients. This new study will test the effectiveness of a home-based exercise program.

Nurses union debate continues as NLRB steps in Union files another charge against Duke By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle Down to four, back to five, up to six? Just weeks after the National Labor Relations Board dismissed one of the five unfair labor practice charges filed against Duke by the Interna-

tional Union of Operating Engineers, the lUOE filed another charge. And if the lUOE decides to appeal the NLRB’s earlier dismissal of a charge concerning wage and benefit improvements for certain nurses, the total number ofunfair labor practice charges thrown at Duke will come to six. The latest charge cited Duke Hospital CEO Mike Israel and an e-mail he sent out to all hospital nurses. “Mr. Miller and Operating Engineers Local 465 have gained a great deal of publicity and attention from this situation,” Israel wrote in the e-mail. “However, his legal maneuvers force [Duke University Medical Center] to maintain the status quo withregard to UN’s wages, benefits and conditions of employment while other area hospitals are free to make pay and benefit changes that put DUMC at a competitive disadvantage.” lUOE spokesperson David Miller said the latest charge is a result of Duke wanting “to have it both ways.” “The [NLRB] dismissed the charge about the implementation of benefits,” he said. “On the other hand, Israel says that as a result [DUMC] has to remain at status quo—less competitive and unable to make improvements” -

See COMPLAINT on page 40 &

By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle Although the attempt to unionize about 2,400 nurses in Duke Hospital and adjacent clinics continues to stretch on, both sides claimed victory in late June

when the National’ Labor Relations Board handed down its first ruling on the unfair labor practice charges filed against Duke University by the International Union of Operating Engineers. The NLRB dismissed one set of allegations, refusing to issue a complaint on them. However, the board also found enough evidence to further process the remaining allegations in the unfair labor practice charge. Gary Stiffier, acting assistant regional director of the NLRB, said the involved parties must now reach a settlement within “a reasonable amount of time,” or the case will go before an NLRB judge. He explained that a settlement would likely result in Duke posting announcements throughout the Hospital for 60 days. In the postings, he said, Duke would promise to stop making certain statements about the unionization process. But .the NLRB found inadequate evidence to establish that Duke had granted wage and benefit improvements with the specific intent of curbing union support. Although Duke had bolstered nurses’ packages in the spring, the Hospital provided sufficient documentation to prove that the actions were part of an administrative plan put into effect without regard to union activity. The IUOE’s and Duke’s interpretations of the NLRB decision differed, with each side highlighting its own victory. ‘The NLRB... has dismissed all of the significant charges filed against [Duke University Medical Center! by the Operating Engineers,” Duke Hospital CEO Mike Israel wrote in a statement released June 23. But lUOE spokesperson David Miller pointed out that Duke will still have to undergo scrutiny as the other charges continue to be examined. And although Israel maintained that all the substantial charges had been dismissed, Miller contended that the most important charges—those that accuse Duke of saying bargaining starts at zero with a union—are still standing.

“That’s a hallmark violation,” Miller said. “It could set the election aside if such a thing isn’t resolved.” Union supporter Connie Donahue, a clinical nurse in the trauma unit, added that the fear of losing benefits resonates with Hospital nurses. “The reason why a lot of nurses came to Duke is because of the decent they’re benefit package,” she said. “If nurses... is significant.” benefits, that going to lose these

Both the Medical Center and the lUOE have the legal right to appeal the board’s decision with the NLRB’s general counsel in Washington, D.C. Israel stressed that Duke wants to have an election as soon as possible and will therefore not appeal. But Miller indicated that the union would most likely appeal the decision. Although the lUOE had not filed an appeal as of July 14—the deadline—Miller said he was confident the NLRB would grant an extension. Miller said the union would continue to look for additional evidence to strengthen their appeal. Both union supporters and anti-union advocates in the Hospital said they were not surprised by the dismissal of some of the allegations; they said they expected Duke to have the necessary documentation. But some pro-union nurses are still skeptical about whether the overlap between union activity and benefit implementation is coincidental. “It was targeted toward clinical nurses... and [Duke] had not done that before,” said Donahue, a prominent leader in the movement to unionize. “Why weren’t [the benefits] announced before?” The factions are split on the remaining charges. April Perry, a clinical research coordinator and antiunion organizer, believes that the union has not gained any additional support by filing charges or postponing a vote—moves she says are delay tactics. “Their support has waned significantly...,” she said, adding that she thinks the unfair labor practice charges are technicalities. “They’re scrambling to change that.” Perry added that she knows one-time union supporters who have switched sides See

Curriculum 2000 ready for kick-off By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

With one month until the first generation of Curriculum 2000-educated Blue Devils arrives on campus, University administrators are completing the last steps of their 18-month implementation plan. The most challenging tasks in this conversion revolve around the new academic writing course, the foreign language requirement and academic advising—areas

that administrators identified early in curricular planning as being potentially tough to handle. Since the curriculum’s adoption, Trinity College Dean Robert Thompson and other administrators have been supervising the transition from the University Writing Course to Academic Writing 20, which will focus on composition and analysis instead ofrhetoric. As they had hoped, administrators were able to keep class sizes limited to 12 students and hire enough post-doctoral fellows to teach most of the fall semester’s AW courses. Fellows will teach courses in their fields of study, unlike many graduate students who taught UWC classes in years past. The transition from graduate students to postdocs will take two years—each fellow is hired on a two-year contract, so the University ha? hired a portion of its target total this year and will hire the rest next year. To support AW2O, the University has also set up a writing studio on the second floor of the pre-major advising center. The studio, which is open to all students, will be staffed by trained writing tutors and is expected to open its doors in the fall. Preparing the foreign languages for the expected drastic increase in enrollment brought on by the new curriculum language requirement has been another hurdle. In the old curriculum, students often dropped the foreign language area of knowledge. Still, many language offerings, especially in Romance Studies, have fallen far short of student demand over the last few years. To prevent exacerbating the problem when foreign languages become required, administrators have hired several additional faculty members to teach classes at the introductory level. “We project that the initial effect of the [curriculum! reform will probably be seen primarily at the level of the first two years of language instruction, courses below 100 [level]...,” said Assistant Professor Antony Higgins, director of undergraduate studies in Romance Studies, which administers the most popular foreign language courses. “We also anticipate substantial increases in enrollments above 100, particularly after the reform has been in place for a couple of years. We have been able to add more course sections for fall, particularly for the first two years of language instruction.” Just organizing the logistics of placing more than 1,000 students into the correct foreign language level has been a headache for administrators. “The only test that first-year students will have to take is the SAT 11, if they have not taken it previously and if they intend to take French, German or Spanish at Duke to satisfy the language requirement,” said Thompson, who said administrators are still receiving requests for exemption. The University will hold testing on the Thursday of orientation week. Also during orientation, freshmen will meet their pre-major advisers for the first time. Advisers will serve as new students’ main guides through the relatively complex system, and administrators have been working hard for almost a year to revamp a pre-major advising system that many students and faculty called woefiilly inadequate. Norman Keul, director of the pre-major advising center, will hold mandatory training meetings Aug. 21 and 22 for all advisers. The one-and-a-half-day-long training session will teach advisers about the new curriculum and how to best advise under it. ‘The main thrust of our training is still to come at the end of summer,” Keul said. “We decided to focus our training efforts a couple days before students return so it’s fresh in advisers’ minds.” The center, which has also hired a new assistant dean, plans on holding focus groups later in the fall to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. Since the end of the school year, the advising center has completely revised the academic bulletin and printed new materials to help advisers understand it.

Officials make Construction remains on schedule alcohol plans By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

� Students, and especially freshmen, can

expect a slew of new alcohol education programs when they arrive on campus in the fall, including talks by prominent athletes. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Administrators and students are working hard to prepare campus social life for the August arrival of undergraduates, as they organize a plethora of programming initiatives, including non-alcoholic social options, an alcohol treatment program, better programming for first-year students and improved training for resident advisers. “We’re going many different ways,” said Jim Clack, interim vice president for student affairs. “The focus is to try to make drinking safer and less unhealthy.” Administrators will place special emphasis on informing first-year students of the dangers of alcohol, as about 70 percent of alcohol violations typically occur among freshmen. “There’s going to be more emphasis on [incoming] students knowing that there is a concern about alcohol abuse and that... alternatives do exist,” said Clack. “(We’re] trying to enlist their help. Ultimately, they’re the only ones that can really alleviate the problem.” Although the content of orientation programming will remain the same, seven members of the athletic department—including men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski, assistant men’s basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski and several other prominent athletes —have agreed to speak to the incoming freshmen. In addition, a student panel will host a questionand-answer session. See ALCOHOL on page 45

Like an Olyfnpic runner, construction across campus is right on pace. With a timeline that has site

preparation for the West-Edens Link ending in the summer, Director of the Residential Program Review Judith White said, “All is going to plan.... We are where we had hoped to be.” Workers were still preparing for construction on the WestEdens Link this week by rerouting utilities lines, creating vehicle routes and building new walk-

ways from Edens Quadrangle to various parts ofcampus. White is hoping to minimize inconvenience to returning students by constructing turnarounds that will allow them to access roads, like Wannamaker

Drive, that have been closed for most ofthe summer. “Everything that has to do with moving in students should be done by the time students get back,” White said. “We’re doing the new turnarounds for areas that have been blocked by construction. We’re building a new fire lane.... We want [move-inl to go as smooth as possible.” Parking Services, too, is trying to complete most necessary renovations by the time students return.

End of an era: Looking back, lookin forward

Two tiger statues, green with age, guard Princeton’s stately Nassau Hall. When Janet Dickerson sees them, she doesn’t think about the school’s storied academic legacy or even the Princeton football team. What comes to her mind when she walks into the Revolutionary War-era building that will eventually house her office? Clemson University For the South Carolina native and huge basketball fan, this summer’s transition from the ACC to the Ivy League has meant rapid lessons about her wider responsibilities—and the schools in her new conference. “It’s meant that I’ve had to stop thinking about issues at Duke more quickly than I would have thought,” the former vice president for student affairs says. But Durham is never far from her mind. The beanie baby tiger in her temporary office wears a Duke shirt. Even more telling, she slips and refers to her new assistant, Jan Logan, as “Nan.” Can you really blame Dickerson for being occasionally confused? After all, parts of Princeton’s Gothic campus look remarkably like West Campus, and many of the issues she’s dealing with are strikingly similar. Instead of opening a new residence hall at Duke, she’ll be opening a campus center at Princeton. Instead of trying to create alternatives to alcohol-centered fraternity parties, she’ll be seeking alternatives to alcohol-soaked eating clubs. And if Princeton officials get what they bargained for, Dickerson will bring the same community-based approach she emphasized during her 9 years in the Gothic Wonderland. “I think she will be remembered as a consensus builder,” says Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs. “That was an approach and a goal that she felt was of greatest significance in terms of making a difference here at Duke.” Dickerson’s transfer to Princeton leaves room for change at Duke. Although Dickerson was praised for her ability to achieve consensus, she was, at times, critiqued for prolonging decisions. “Sometimes, in the process of building consensus, reaching a final decision quickly is difficult,” says Wasiolek, a po-

tential ca erson left there mav building ti more decis Regard Dicke: tion for Duke means that her replacement will have to deal with many of the same types of issues that she did—the beginning of the 2000s brings only modified questions from the 19905. For example, the University is currently considering its plan for upperclass residential life, an issue that has the potential to change the face of social life at Duke. In 1993, Dickerson smoothed the transition for a change of similar magnitude as the University created the all-freshman East Campus—an initiative inspired by the find-

ings of the Greek Life Task Force, formed by Dickerson. “Her strength in bringing together diverse constituents really played itself out,” says Dean ofStudent Development Barbara Baker, who came to Duke in 1995 and who may also apply for Dickerson’s position. “She brought together a lot of different groups.” As a result, most observers now agree that the implementation of the policy greatly changed the residential life experience at Duke for the better.

Although the debate surrounding the East Campus shift has long been settled, newer versions of similar topics are emerging; Many students and administrators question the placement of fraternities and selective living groups in prime housing on Main West Campus.

Dickerson has always emphasized the need to create a welcoming campus for all students, and she says she wishes she could have been a bigger part of residential decisions in recent years. See STUDENT AFFAIRS on page 41 S*

Duke Recycles Asks...

DUKE RECYCLES

Did You Know? •

Duke University is a community of approximately 34,000 people students, faculty and employees. This community produces 12,000 tons of garbage a year. -

•

Duke students produce 3,500 tons of trash every year 4 pounds a day per person.

that’s an average of

The two Duke Dining Halls throw away approximately 286 tons of material each year. That is 572,000 lbs of garbage each year. The West Campus Main Quad Dormitories produce garbage that is equal to throwing away 135 cars a year.

Duke Recycles processed 120 tons of newspaper last year. This is equivalent to saving more than all of the trees on East Campus. The United States represents 5% of the world’s population, uses 25% of the world’s resources and produces 30% of the world’s garbage. Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet. Americans discard over 4 million tons of paper a year enough to build a 12 foot wall from New York to California. -

Duke Recycles recently finished its fiscal year and with your help over the past two semesters, we are on pace for another record breaking finish. Though the final numbers are not in as of this Send Home Issue, we estimate that we will break the 1,125 ton mark of recycled goods that we processed last year. Duke Recycles would like to thank you for your efforts in helping us reach this goal. It all begins with you sorting your materials properly. Hopefully, through our collective teamwork, we can have another record breaking campaign next year and ensure that Duke University maintains its status as a leader in the environmental sustainability movement.

Homeless shelter prepares for renovations to facility tiled to start last year, when Bradford took over the shelter he found “significant financial problems,” which postponed the project. “[Spencer] has been working very, very hard and diligently to put the shelter back on track, to be accountable and responsible to the Durham community and the people it serves,” said Donna Smith, director of the United Methodist Mission Society on Queen Street, a group that works closely with the shelter. One of the largest issues looming for the shelter is finding a temporary facility during remodeling. Bradford is having a difficult time finding optional housing. “We may have to use two or three sites to serve everybody,” he said. “We hope we’ll be able to stay close to downtown.” Smith added that if the shelter is far from the Urban Ministries Center, it would be problematic because much of the programming for the shelter’s residents, like the soup kitchen, is run by Urban Ministries. “I don’t know how they’re going to deal with that,” she said. Although some homeowners in neighborhoods around the facility have voiced concern about the residents and their effect on the community, Bradford said, “Most of the problems they’re speaking to are police problems and law enforcement issues.” He added that if disruptive or illegal behavior occurs in the shelter, residents may be evicted, and that those causing the problems may be former residents. “No one wants that conduct on their premises,” he said. “We’re here to invite people who need a safe, clean place to stay while they get on their feet.” Smith added that while she believes homeowners’ complaints are legitimate,

After three months on the job as executive director ofthe Community Shelter for HOPE in downtown Durham, Spencer Bradford faces both a period of high possibilities and high uncertainty. Five years after work on the first grant applications began, the shelter will undergo a $1.5 million renovation of its Liberty Street facilities. “By the end of the fall I expect the renovation work will begin, and by late next year we will be moved back in,” Bradford said. The renovation will completely overhaul the building, which was originally constructed to house the .county’s Social Security Administration. A 6,000 square foot section will be added to the existing facility to better accommodate the many single women and their children who come through the shelter. Although the addition will not increase the current 125 bed spaces, it will allow for a separate group of private rooms with bathrooms for women with children, separate from the barracksstyle rooms that house single men and women. The new facilities will also include more space for classrooms and programs. Currently the shelter hosts recovery group meetings for its residents, but Bradford envisions a wr ide slate ofclasses covering everything from independent

living, literary tutoring and adult basic education to support group meetings and substance abuse education classes. The city of Durham put up $300,000 for the project, and the state Housing Finance Agency and Durham County have each given $600,000. Although work was initially sched-

OIT readies to offer online billing to its customers By JESSICA CLOUGH The Chronicle

The University office in charge of technology may soon become even more high-tech. Since fall 1999, Office of Information Technology officials have been experimenting with an online billing service to streamline invoice delivery to their customers. OIT will begin a trial run of the new system at the beginning of the fall. Depending on the results of approximately 100 user trials, the new online billing system may be fully implemented by the end of

the semester. ‘This new process is going to eliminate the need to check mail and late bills, which can be a hassle,” said Duke Student Government co-director of computing Ben Allen, a Trinity junior who is in charge of assembling a student committee that will test the new service. “The DSG cabinet, legislature and undergrad

computing committee have all been asked to participate [in the trial].” OIT started to pursue the idea after it was raised by DSG representatives and application programmers, said OIT Director of Finance and Administration Angel Dronsfield. ‘The new system will be web based so it can be accessed by any computer with access to the world wide web,” she said. Under the current design, customers will receive emails that notify them that their OIT bills are ready for viewing and printing from the secure OIT invoicing web site. Once logged in, customers will have the option to pay using their credit cards and even “Internet checks,” which allow users to enter their checking account information online and have money deducted straight from their banks. “We are hoping to make online payment using FLEX possible, but at this point, we aren’t sure if this

service will be available by this fall,” Dronsfield said. Payment using traditional checks and cash will still be received at the Tel-Com building. In fact, those customers who prefer to use traditional checks need only to print out the bill from the OIT web site and send it via campus mail. Student reaction to the plan so far has been mixed. While many students acknowledged the convenience of paying bills online, some worried about the risk of giving away sensitive information. “[Paying bills online] would be a lot easier,” said Pratt sophomore Mausumi Syamal, who said she would prefer to use Internet checks or FLEX. But Trinity junior Caroline Rosenberg said that she rarely buys anything online. “I’m paranoid about using my credit card online, but I could see how a lot of people would think it is a good idea,” she said. Steven Wright contributed to this story.

Campus celebrates July 4 with classes By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Ironically, most students this July 4 could only hope for one thing: freedom. While most of the nation celebrated the holiday with barbecues and beach trips, classes continued as usual for most Duke students. “Having class on the Fourth was a pain,” said Kate Oden, a University of Chicago junior studying at Duke. “My class was small and we had lab, so we just griped together.” University administrators, however, said they were in a no-win situation. Paula Gilbert, director of continuing education and the University Summer Program, said she considered a number of options, but that this one would probably frustrate students the least. “For summer session to have classes that meet a minimum of 35 hours, we’ve only been able to come up with a limited number of options; at some point in each term to hold classes on a Saturday or Sunday, eliminate the reading day, or hold classes on both Memorial Day and Independence Day,” said Gilbert. Last summer, the University observed Independence Day July 5 and began summer term two classes July 6; in exchange, students gave up a day of reading period. Last year, July 4 fell on a Monday, which would have been the first day of summer school. Because employees in most other parts of the University do not work on Independence Day, Gilbert said, it would have

been too difficult to begin a new set of classes. “There would be no one in OIT to run class rolls, no one in the registrar’s office to sort and distribute class rolls, no one in publications to deliver rolls through the mail, and no one in the departmental offices to receive the rolls and pass them along to the instructors,” Gilbert said. This year, however, the Fourth of July did not come until the second day of class, eliminating bureaucratic problems. But for some, classes were no barrier to celebration. Some classes were canceled, and those that See

The $145 billion verdict awarded to sick Florida smokers may have little effect on local tobacco farmers. Although stock prices of several tobacco companies went down in anticipation of the most recent verdict, including those of North Carolina-based R. J.

allocating the state’s $4.6 billion share

of the national tobacco settlement. The allocation occurred during the July 14 closing session of the North Carolina state legislature. The funds will be distributed to two trust funds—one for tobacco farmers and allotment holders and the other for health programs. Each will receive $1.15 billion over 25 years. A foundation helping communities hurt by the national settlement with cigarette companies will receive the other half of the settlement, $2.3 billion.

Representatives from tobacco corporations said they intend to appeal the case on a number of grounds, emphasizing that the amount of the verdict was exorbitantly high. North Carolina produces more tobacco than any other state, and the industry employs about 11,000 leaf growers and 70,000 owners of government tobacco production allotments.

cently—a poll of 500 voters taken last week by a local television news station gave him 41 percent of the vote as compared to Easley’s 50 percent. A previous poll placed Vinroot at 38 percent and Attorney General Easley at 53 percent. However, the change is not statistically significant, given the poll's margin of error of 4.5 percent.

Merger committee turns in plan for consolidation The 40-member Merger Charter Commission, a group responsible for researching issues relating to the merging of Durham’s city and county governments, approved a charter July 12 by a 27-6 margin.

According to The Herald-Sun of Durham, those who voted against the proposal did so mainly because they wanted the new governing board to be elected on a partisan basis; instead, part of it will be elected on a partisan basis and part on a non-partisan basis.

U.S. Congress approves Hurricane Floyd relief North Carolinians who were devastated last September by Hurricane Floyd are finally getting relief in the form of a $361 million dollar aid package, courtesy of Congress. But the aid was slow to come, partly because the package was attached to an omnibus spending bill that almost ended up carrying several other controversial riders. The final bill passed in the Senate contained provisions as varied as money

for a marine institute in Alaska and funds for a U.S. Customs Service center in West Virginia. The bill also provides aid for areas other than North Carolina, which will

get about $257 million. U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms and Rep. Walter Jones had also been pushing for a rider allowing army engineers to start building thick stone jetties on the banks of the Oregon Inlet in the Outer Banks. Congress approved the jetties 30 years ago, but construction cannot begin until the Department of the Interior transfers the land to the Corps of Engineers—a move the department itself opposes on environmental grounds. The bill that eventually passed the House of Representatives 306-110 did not have a provision for the jetty project; neither did the one that passed the Senate. President Bill Clinton has said he will sign the bill.

Committee

reevaluates dining area By JONATHAN SHEETZ The Chronicle Imagine 6,000 square feet—with

hardwood floors, chandeliers and a fireplace—-in the middle of Main West Campus. What would you have done with it? Last semester, in the Academic Council’s portion of the master planning initiative, the Faculty Committee on the Dining Commons re-evaluated the commons’ role in campus life. The FCDC summarized its findings, including a possible role for its coveted location, in an April report. “We were thinking about something along the lines of the Searle Center in the Medical Center,” said Professor of Political Science Mike Munger, chair of the Committee on the Dining Commons. The report suggested that the University convert the commons into a hotel-style conference space with one area reserved for faculty and another reserved for students and guests. The committee was concerned about the cost and the role of the space. The commons has not been seen as effective in bringing faculty See DINING COMMONS on page 44

Library merger perplexes scientists By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

Math plus physics plus engineering equals a new consolidated library. The University library system is taking its first step toward consolidating its math and science libraries as it merges the Math-Physics Library with the Vesic Engineering Library at the Teer Building. The Math-Physics library closed permanently in late May, and the books should be integrated into the engineering collection in early August. “One of the problems with a decentralized library system is the inability to support interdisciplinary work effectively,” said David Ferriero, vice provost for library affairs. “This is the first step toward a consolidated science library which in the long run will better support interdisciplinary work.” The main impetus behind the move, however, was the Math Department’s urgent need for office space. The relocation will free up about 4,000 square feet in the Physics Building, where the library was formerly housed. The Math Department has already begun constructing offices in its portion of the vacated area, and the Physics Department is also in need of office space for its graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. “We have lots of problems with space on campus, and it’s always difficult to find enough space for everybody who works here,” explained Tom Beale, director of undergraduate studies in math. The engineering library, which was almost at capacity, will now have to accommodate the math and physics col-

Fuqua spins off consulting firm

Crimestoppers The Pratt School of Engineering hosted deaf students, from kindergarten through 12th grade, at a 10-day-long summer program intended to teach students the applications of science. At the end of the session, students used their skills to solve a mock crime.

Deutsche Bank, Ford, Siemens and Ericsson have already signed on as the company’s first clients. The University will hold the company’s majority stock, and University officials hope several private equity groups will buy the rest. Wanda Wallace, associate dean for executive education, John Gallagher, Fuqua’s director of computing, and Professor John McCann will each move from Fuqua to the corporation’s Durham offices. Also, Judith Rosenblum, former chief learning officer for CocaCola, will join the company.

Police charge student with filing false reports

From staff reports After a student reported close to $l,OOO of his property stolen from his 2015 Yearby St. apartment, police discovered that he lied, and charged him with falsifying statements, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. x OIICC “

The man, who was auditing a Con- |VopOrtS 1 tinuing Education course while living on Central Campus, originally said someone stole a CD storage book containing $5OO worth of CDs, a $250 Sony special feature telephone, a $4O blender, credit cards and a $3OO steel Bryan Lacrosse stick with a black end and a “P” on the shaft between 7 and 9 p.m. July 1. There were no signs of forced entry. Police officers discovered holes in his story and decided to investigate the crime further. Just a few days ago, they discovered that he falsified evidence about himself to the police and the University. They charged the man, Patrick John Blackburn

with falsifying statements to the police. Dean was not sure whether he had been assigned a court date yet.

Computer stolen:

Between 10 8 a.m. June 26, somea.m. June 22 and

one stole an employee’s $9OO white Gateway computer, serial number

17611108 and model number GP7500, from a secured room in the basement of North Pavilion, Dean said. There were no signs of forced entry.

Tools swiped: Between 12:10 and 12:15 p.m. July 1, someone stole $375 worth of tools from an unsecured

Duke-owned truck, which was parked at the Paint Shop on Sumpter Street, Dean said.

Bike taken; Between 8 p.m, July 12 and 3 p.m. July 13, someone stole a student’s unsecured, blue $385 Miata bicycle from the bike rack at the LSRC cafeteria. Stereo nabbed: An employee reported that between 8 a.m. and 5:05

p.m. July 12, someone stole the $3OO CD/radio stereo system from her Honda, which was parked in the H and R lot on Hillsborough Road. There were no signs of forced entry.

Cash swiped; An employee reported July 4 that between 3:25 and 5:00 p.m., someone stole her $3O handbag containing $3BO cash and a $3O gray electronic organizer from her secured vehicle, which was parked on the second level of Medical Center parking garage 2, Dean said. The molding on the driver’s side window was damaged, and the window had been scratched.

Microwave stolen:

An employee reported that between 6 p.m. June 29 and 8 a.m. June 30, someone stole a $l5O

white Samsung microwave, model MW649OW, from a cafeteria located in the D-wing ofthe LSRC, room 132, Dean said.

Change purse lifted: Between 2 and 3:46 p.m. July 3, someone stole from

the Duke Hospital first-floor dish room an employee’s unattended $5 change purse containing $73 cash, Dean said.

Employee harassed: As an employee walked on Flowers Drive near Yearby Street June 6 at 8:30 a.m., a truck driver asked her for directions to “Trent Audio,” Dean said. The employee reported that the driver appeared to be masturbating and that he followed her in his white truck until she reached the main entrance ofDuke Clinic. The truck had writing on the side and a red ladder on its top. Totebag taken: Between 3 and 3:30 p.m. July 5, someone stole a visitor’s $BO Hartman gold-colored totebag containing $4OO prescription glasses, a $3O wallet with various credit cards, a $5 black

address book and several reproduction paintings valued at $lO, Dean said. The visitor’s vehicle was parked either at 705 Broad St. or at Erwin Square Mill. There were not signs of forced entry.

Judge grants postponement for student’s sexual offense case From staff reports At a July 17 hearing, Trinity junior Thomas Jones’ statutory offense case was postponed until Aug. 21. Jones was arrested and charged May 1 with willfuland feloniously engaging in a sexual act with a 14ly year-old girl. After meeting in an Internet chat room, Jones and the alleged victim met in her Orange Coun-

ty home, where the felony allegedly occurred. Jones, who first informed authorities that he could not afford a lawyer, has since hired attorney Wood Van of Durham.

Last Monday, in Orange County Criminal Court, Van presented an agreement between his client and the state for a postponement. In an interview, Van said he needs more time to look for documentation requested by District Attorney Kayley Tabor. Tabor said she was not at liberty to discuss the documentation Van supplied to her, but said she is still reviewing the case and continuing her discussions with the alleged victim’s family. , Van said Jones has not yet decided how he will plead,

Jones spent the summer working at home in New Jersey. According to Van, Jones plans to return to the University in the fall. When asked if Jones has received any disciplinary notices from the University, his lawyer said he would not comment specifically, but said he knows Universi-

ty officials are aware ofthe alleged offenses. Jones did not return several phone calls placed over the last several weeks. Van said he advised his client to remain silent with regard to the case.

Fowler’s has proudly served the Duke community since 1925 and we’re still a family-run, independent grocery that just gets started where the supermarkets stop. Now located in the historic Nash building (remember the Rambler?) in Durham’s tobacco warehouse district, our 21/2-year-old facility offers a sun-filled space and fan-cooled back porch for casual dining.

Our full kitchen and encyclopedic deli & cheese departments serve up freshly prepared foods, salads, sandwiches, and soups. You’ll find real bread in our bakery-from Pain Poilane to our own crusty baguette. Desserts range from the sublime to the sinful to the just plain silly-like polka dot pound cake.

The espresso bar prepares all manner of coffee, tea, and Italian sodas. Over the years our international grocery, prime butchery, produce, and heirloom-quality housewares departments have evolved and grown, and Fowler’s wine department continues the standard that Vanity Fair has called “the best selection ofCalifornia wines outside of California.”

Irreconcilable differences? DUHS has held up its end of the bargain, now Durham County government must sit down at the bargaining table

say it’s less effective to ask for permission beforehand than it is to act first and explain later. Perhaps Duke University Health System administrators will learn that unfortunate lesson from the awkward situation imposed on them by Durham’s intransigent county government. When DUHS’s leaders calculated that a budget shortfall at Durham Regional would cost $l5 million this year, they asked the county for a chance to negotiate the lease contract. After all, Duke officials can plausibly argue that the terms they agreed to in 1998 were based on bad information—an accounting glitch changed a projected surplus into a multimillion dollar loss. But without even listening to DUHS’s case, Durham’s county commissioners made it clear that there would be no bargain. The county’s unwillingness to parlay forced DUHS to look for savings internally, and the most obvious target for saving is money-losing indigent care. Duke will not win friends by cutting programs like the Oakleigh Substance Abuse Treatment Center, but the Health System will still spend millions on the county’s poor even after the cuts. As long as DUHS continues to provide some indigent care, support the county’s Emergency Medical Services and operate Lincoln Community Health Center, it is fulfilling the letter of its agreement—and much of its spirit. DUHS administrators are fond of a saying: “No margin, no mission.” Although Durham Regional is not forecasted to lose money again this fiscal year, its operating margin will remain below the optimal level. DUHS is not an endless font of money that can be tapped freely without damaging health care elsewhere in the community. The commissioners are laudably eager to reinvest the rent Duke pays on Durham Regional, but they should be willing to negotiate before endangering health care countywide. It’s understandable that Duke is troubled by this shortfall—escalating deficits have driven academic medical centers around the country to the brink of bankruptcy. By seeking a compromise solution, Duke has acted responsibly. If the county had decided to lease Durham Regional to one of the for-profit companies that also bid aggressively for the hospital in 1998, it’s unlikely the hospital’s new managers would be so flexible. Instead of a self-conscious partner wringing its hands over the unpalatable prospect of trimming some indigent programs, the county might now be battling an angry corporation determined to make Durham Regional profitable by slashing jobs, eliminating programs or even taking the county to court for bad-faith deal making. But the bottom line in this dispute is that those with the quietest voice—indigent patients—suffer the most, and for their sake, both sides must seek a compromise. Duke and Durham Regional entered this partnership two years ago in an optimistic spirit of mutual cooperation. The agreement can still benefit both parties, but it will fail if one side’s stubbornness forces the other to make unpleasant decisions.

Letters to the Editor

Duke Marching, Pep Bands deserve to play The recent letter concerning one undergraduate’s claim that the Athletic Department “wastes” seats on the pep band certainly struck a nerve with many of us. I did not read the letter until several students in the pep band brought it to my attention. As pep band director, I can understand the lack of understanding many undergraduate students have waiting in line for hours, days or weeks, only to find the band walk in several hours before the game. Perhaps shedding a little light on the situation

No student may be part of the pep band unless he or she has served in the marching band. Not one person in our band receives any schol-

The band, however, is able to get pose, we must be our equipment, warm up there until the final seconds and be ready to play as soon tick away, then remain to as the doors open. Whether play “Dear Old Duke” for the or not one likes the band valiant efforts our team has made on the field, regardless selections is not of importance to this argument; the of outcome. There have been pep band not only adds to many, many games where the general atmosphere of the band has finished the the game, but it has earned alma mater only to turn those seats. Please allow me around and see the stands totally deserted. to explain.

Graduate student seat allotment In the June 15 letter to the editor Juan Batlle stated, “It’s that enough heinous Cameron wastes student section seats at all on graduate students and the pep band.... Undergrads play on the team. Undergrads deserve seats.” But undergrads didn’t even fill their own section for big games last year—a year when Duke finished the regular season in first place after losing three players early to the NBA. Why would that warrant giving undergrads more tickets? If you gave the graduate and pep band section to undergrads, you would have a sparsely filled, quieter

When basketball season comes, the band not only shows up two and a half hours prior to game time, but

it plays for the majority of that time, as well as during time-outs, some of half time and even after the game. If the team wins a big game and

the fans storm the court, the band is not allowed to join the celebration. This is not to mention the fact that the band is at every game, even those games that many undergraduates avoid. As with marching band, pep band members do not receive any money for their participation nor do they receive credit for participation in the pep band; many schools pay their pep band members and/or give them credit. This is not a

complaint, simply another fact to shed light on the dedication of our membership. Finally, and probably the most overlooked point of the argument, pep band members are undergraduate students, too. Neil M. Boumpani

at Duke. If you look at the numbers, 600 of 5,187 (11.6 percent) graduate students got tickets last year, while 1,200 of 6,834 (17.6 percent) undergrads were allowed into each game. I agree that Duke basketball is part of the undergrad experience, disproportional so the amount of tickets given to undergrads is warranted. Graduate students, however, still pay tuition to go here, camp out for tickets (albeit a necessarily different system) and stand in long lines before each game; therefore, they have just as much right to tickets as undergrads. After countless postings on Duke Basketball Report and articles in the Chronicle about low attendance, under-

grads still half-heartedly filled Cameron, so the tickets had to be reallocated to compensate for the lack of undergrad support. Don’t blame the athletic department. Blame the undergrads who left Cameron half-empty when Maryland handed Duke its first loss in 46 games at home. For any undergrad that disagrees with this article, I suggest that you consider your future. In a couple of years, you may pursue an

advanced degree, and I will wager that if your school has an outstanding sports program, you would want a chance to see them play. Alan

Old House C C falls to public pressure, bias

The Annual Review Committee must remain consistent and equitable in their disciplinary procedures eningly over-priced party school. This image overhaul needs more than the outstanding Duke PR machine; it needs concrete change in the way the University handles its undergraduates. As usual, when genuine change is required, the David Nigro University has it all backwards What was the ultimate reason Old When students arrive on campus late House CC was dissolved? The group next month, they will be greeted by the missed its deadlines for submitting some sweltering heat of a Durham summer, paperwork. That was the straw that endless accounts of their friends’ sumbroke the camel’s back. Had mixers with sororities while on probation? No probmers, and the ever-present quad squirrels. One thing they will not find, howevlem. Destroy property in your section? er, is the all-male comer of Craven Quad The University does not care. Those are formerly known as Old House CC. Unlike two actions that some IFC fraternities the departure of Han’s, Old House CC’s and other living groups have engaged in dissolution happened not because of in the past, yet the University has held no changing student tastes but because their additional sanctions on them after issualumni do not have the deep pockets or ing probation. I am wondering when the national support of an Interfratemity “double secret probation” will become an official University disciplinary term, right Council member. Old House GC was thrown off campus up there with “imminent jeopardy.” We all know the real reason for the by a panel of three people after the annudissolution was to make an example of a al review committe recommended its dissolution. As reported in The Chronicle, living group. Former Vice President for some members of the ARC thought that Student Affairs Janet Dickerson said so the three-person panel would ignore their in the Chronicle. “I believe there will be recommendation and that Old House CC greater expectations for the respectful would remain on campus.

tently violated University policy will continue to do so next year, confident in the fact that the punishment for their misdeeds will be taken out on independents or other selective living groups. The annual review itself is a good idea; it ensures that each group contributes something to the Duke community, both intellectually and socially. All groups currently on campus are capable What the of doing these things. University needs is not to make an example of some guys whose crimes include lacking good day planners, but to institute a system that works, one that carries explicit sanctions for infractions and one that is applied equally to all groups. Semester after semester on probation with continuing violations, a group should lose its right to occupy its section. Fraternities and selective houses are a great idea; they allow students to choose to live and interact with others who share the same lifestyle. This free-

dom allows all students to choose their own way of life and not have one imposed on them by a university such as in a residential college system. But with this freedom comes responsibility, of which the greatest is the responsibility to respect others. If a group continues to do physical damage to its surroundings, disturb its neighbors and violate conduct regulations, the University should enforce its rules and disband that group. The University’s goals of avoiding the social debacles of last year are well

intentioned and deserve the full support of students, parent and alumni. However, the path to these goals is not

through the arbitrary application of policy, but through education, understanding and when necessary, the disbanding of living groups that contribute negatively to the Duke community, no matter who that living group may be. Dave Nigro is a Trinity senior.

America the beautiful lights, camera, but no action Off the Record and on the QT Martin Bama Thankfully, I was preoccupied the day apathy became chic. After two years in college, I am longing for days of yore, when protests were as common as fraternity parties —I am yearning for the 19605. The fashions may have been awful, the movies may have been dreadful, and it may have been the beginning of political correctness, but there was something in the air that is missing today. Today, we just have lights and camera. What hap-

pened to action? Action today seems relegated only to those activities that will advance one’s career. This applies as much to people of our generation as it does to our parents, who were the “youth” of the sixties

Cut! To see this level of apathy, disinterest and inattention is disconcerting—especially when you work for a newspaper’s editorial department, and spend some of your time waiting for letters to the editor. You may find that your time is better spent waiting for Godot. For example, in the last volume we ran an editorial

calling for the abolishment of the death penalty and received zero letters in response. Eighty percent of America reportedly supports the death penalty, but apparently no one in the Duke cpmmunity cared enough to voice support or opposition to our stand. It is dimcu

to imagine that at Duke—where political thought is about as consistent as the Chicago skyline—we are of one mind on this topic. Or, is it that we just don’t care enough to express an opinion one way or the other? In six years Gov. George W. Bush has presided over two-thirds of the executions in the U.S. in the last 23 years—and this guy wants to be president. But try to start a conversation about that issue, or any other, and the most common reply is “I don’t follow politics,” or, “I try not to have opinions.”

We don’t need an election to think, but it is a great place to

cap our political discussion after thoughtful dialogue with others. “I try not to have opinions.” Now, that’s real apathy. You might call it Zen apathy. You reach nirvana when your head is completely empty. It is true that political topics and issues of the day pay little personal dividend. To take a stand or give voice to our positions does little to advance our careers or earning potential. But we are not mere consumers; we are citizens of a great republic who should be engaged in the issues. America needs someone like Dr. Laura (OK, maybe someone who isn’t a scold, so not Dr. Laura) to stand up and shout to the masses: “It is OK to have strong opinions about something, and it is also OK to express those opinions!” This shouldn’t be news—this is the founda-

tion of a free society. Many people entertain conflicting opinions about serious issues. Think not? What if someone came up to you right now and told you that they just had an abortion? What if a friend walked up to you and informed you that he or she was gay? Apathy is the worst problem that America faces because it makes it impossible to form a consensus for action. It is especially apparent in the electoral process—turnout in this year’s election is expected to hit a record low. I am not saying that the political establishment is free of guilt for our loss of faith in politics and government. Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Richard Nixon and many others deserve plenty of blame. Nonetheless, the American people need to stop complaining about not being informed, and not being able to do anything. We need to start acting. If we are unhappy with the candidates, it is our job as the electorate to express that concern in the press and at the ballot. We don’t need an election to think, but it is a great place to cap our political discussion after thoughtful dialogue with others—with those who agree with us and those who do not. Someone told me not long ago that it was arrogant to have opinions and to assume-that anyone’s actions and opinions will change anything. He may not have made that observation 35 years ago. We can do without the strife and political cant that are also part of the sixties’ legacy, but we sure could use some of that action. There is no easier question than “what do you think?” It is time we started to ask and answer this question. Let’s get those cameras rolling again—America cannot afford to be in a mental freeze frame. Martin Bama i$ a Trinity juniorand editorial page

PAGF 37

Twenty-three students become freshmen 2 months early By TESSA LYONS The Chronicle The early matriculation pilot program seems to be flying high. Twenty-three students from the Class of 2004 arrived on East Campus this month to begin summer studies as part of the new program that allows students with few Advanced Placement credits to get a head start on their freshman years. Because of the 36-credit graduation requirement,

students who do not enter with college credits are forced to take two semesters with five classes apiece. This course load often adds a substantial academic burden, especially because most of these students have work-study responsibilities and may be involved in other school activities. The problem is also severe for athletes, who are burdened with workouts and team trips. Program officials, led by Assistant Dean of Student Development Carmen Tillery, were initially concerned that the athletes and non-athletes in the program might not mix socially or that athletes’ workout schedules would preclude them from the program’s social activities, including a tour of Durham, a visit to the North Carolina Museum of Art and an outing at a Durham Bulls game. But Trinity senior Amy Yuen, one of the students’ resident advisers, said the program’s directors told the 13 enrolled athletes that their obligation was to the program first, not pre-season training. NCAA rules prohibit college athletes from working with their coaches during the summer, although athletes are permitted to work out on their own and with teammates. Since then, the athletes have been very involved, and women’s crew member Carrie Green said she has enjoyed the opportunity to meet non-athletes before her season starts. ‘The athletes and the non-athletes get along very well,” she wrote in an e-mail. ‘There is a common brotherhood in the program that I believe we will all come to appreciate when we are thrown in here with the massive number of freshmen in the fall.” For football player Kenneth Stanford, the program is an opportunity to gradually learn the intricacies of Duke life. “This program will allow me to interact with non-athlete students through the friends that I have made during the summer,” he wrote in an email. “The process of getting accustomed to the change in lifestyle will make my transition in the fall much easier.,.. Hopefully this program will force me to create and maintain good study habits and organization, which I will need next year due to my strenuous schedule.” And this is exactly what Tillery had in mind. Tillery, Yuen and co-adviser Domanic Smith wanted the experience to mimic freshman living. For example, the students are living in Blackwell Dormitory on East Campus and are subject to the same rules they will face in the fall. And most of the students’ problems with the program have been those typical to a college freshman. “We hear complaints about how the bus [to West Campus] only comes every 30 minutes, about having to eat at the Marketplace every day... but they are happy,” Yuen said.

Morris balanced passion, compassion Union sentiment MORRIS from page I lie Safety has not yet determined the cause of Morris’ one-car accident. “If you were to meet her, you would be drawn to her,” said Morris’ best friend, and junior-year roommate Jamie Hechinger, Trinity ’OO. “She had something behind her eyes, behind her person, that drew you to her. She was so alive, and that’s what is so tragic.” More than anything else, Morris was a compassionate friend and magnetic presence, and she used these attributes to find success whether tutoring underprivileged Durham children or forging strong connections with her peers. “She was completely without prejudice. As open and kind and generous with her time as committed to the things she cared about,” said Service Learning Facilitator Trip Stallings, who worked with Morris when she tutored at E.K. Powe Elementary School and later administered the program at George Watts Elementary School. “I don’t know of many people who are able to bridge social and cultural gaps as well as Jacqui.” Morris had her eyes set on law school, so she could gather the tools to research social policy, and specifically, the legal process and its relationship to children. This summer, she was working with a Tucson judge, examining the criteria judges use to place youths in the juvenile or adult justice system. Her studies at the University, whether in her psychology major or outside it, were largely focused around this goal. But Morris managed to balance her professional drive with her outgoing personality, often by engaging in contentious debate while connecting personally with her opponent. ‘The thing I found to be so refreshing about Jacqui is that she would not hesitate to join the debate, but she would do so respectfully,” said Assistant Vice President

for Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek, who taught Morris last semester and attended her June 30 funeral. Yvonne Morris, Jacqui’s mother, said Jacqui managed to balance passion and compassion in everything she did, whether in athletics or as senior class president in high school. “She did defend her opinions and she also respected other people’s point of view in away that was not mean or angry but kind, so you did have a dialogue with her.” Hechinger was among 10 University students and dozens of Morris’ high school friends who joined Yvonne Morris and her family at the funeral. At times, Hechinger said she felt herself smiling as Morris’ rabbi related stories about her and talked about his relationship to her. “She knew exactly what she wanted to do and who she wanted to be,” Hechinger said. “Jacqui was an absolute gift. Her death was unfair and unexpected. She had so much left to do, but at the same time, the funeral wasn’t so much lamenting her death as celebrating her life.” For Yvonne Morris, the funeral felt much the same. At the same time she could not help but feel the tragedy of Jacqui’s death, she was awestruck by the number of friends who attended. “She was always very involved in helping others and being there for other people, and I think that’s why she had so many good friends,” she said. “It was tremendously affirming as a parent yet so profoundly sad that someone whose high school friends came in from everywhere.... Affirming yet so sad that someone who had such a connection with people and someone who was able to make connections with people would be taken from us.” Students and the Morris family are planning an oncampus memorial service in the fall.

could be shifting UNION from page 8 "They’re seeing that this is another level of bureaucracy and only the start of problems we would face when negotiating a contract [after unionization],” she said,“People have gained more information..,. The decision to vote for or against the union was initially an emotional one—people have now had the time to think about it more.” But Donahue and union supporter Marge Dooley, a clinical nurse in the surgical inpatient unit, disagree. “There are still a lot offence-sitters who have not made up their minds,” Donahue said. “Some nurses have become union supporters after seeing Duke’s efforts to discourage nurses’ [union-

ization attempt].” Dooley admitted that union supporters have been silent in the past few weeks as they waited for the labor charges to be resolved. Still, she predicted a big upswing in union support—and more activity from the pro-union camp-—in the coming weeks. Either way, no one wants to see the union established without a vote. The NLRB could take this action if it finds Duke guilty of exceptionally severe violations. Representatives on both sides acknowledged that this is quite unlikely. Miller said lUOE only wants to unionize the Hospital with nurses’ proven support. “We’re not suggesting that the union be brought in without a vote,” he said. But the vote is still several months away and will most likely take place sometime in the fall, even though the lUOE has not yet filed a notice to proceed with the election. “We don't want to delay the process anymore,” Donahue said. “But the NLRB is still investigating the charges and we want everyone to hear what they have to say.”

System officials will decide how to meet budget DURHAM REGIONAL from page 1 be “bailed out” of any financial troubles by the county but simply wished to alleviate the budgetary strains of a hospital whose income was overstated and lease price was set too high. “I think, coming out ofthe discussion today, that the county representatives made it pretty clear that they had their own concerns and point of view and we had a different point of view,” said DUHS Executive Vice President Bill Donelan June 23. The meeting, more specifically called a “meet and confer,” is a provision of the lease agreement that presents the involved parties with an opportunity to discuss impending issues arising under the lease agreement. DUHS initiated this provision May 31 with the intent of discussing the financial performance of Durham Regional. ‘This was one avenue and the most direct and ap-

propriate one—to have direct discussion about the problems,” said Donelan. But direct discussion has done little to clarify the situation—two years after its merger with DUHS, Durham Regional’s financial woes remain clouded by confusion and conflicting explanations. While Durham County currently-receives $7.1 million annually for Durham Regional under the 20-year lease agreement, DUHS officials claim the hospital was overvalued by a faulty audit when the lease agreement was negotiated. They contend that an accounting glitch caused the hospital to overestimate the revenue it received from its contracts with insurance providers. As a result, DUHS officials maintain that the lease payments are twice as high as they should be, as was determined by a different, external audit performed in the 1999 fiscal year. Durham Regional’s auditor stands by its numbers. “In the business discussion we simply had a mistake made through nobody’s bad intent... and it had a consequence in the setting of the lease price,” said Donelan. ‘This is a problem that can be remedied.” DUHS officials say they initiated the “meet and confer” with the intent of doing just that. “Immediate action by the county would have provided additional time to repair and reposition the hospital in light of the rapidly changing healthcare industry environment, including the provision of the hospital and health care for indigents and underinsured citizens ofDurham County,” wrote DCHC Board Chair Charles Blackmon in a June 23 statement. But the county commissioners disagree with this assessment and expect to continue receiving the previously agreed-upon lease payments without any cuts in the hospital’s indigent care. “The county attorney informed the Duke representative that we don’t have the ability to renegotiate the deal,” explained County Commissioner Ellen Reckhow. “If we were to renegotiate we would need to reopen the bidding process.”

The Chronicle will publish the Freshman Orientation Issue Friday, August 25

and will resume daily publication Monday, August 28.

Reckhow acknowledged that many hospitals across the Carolinas and throughout the nation are

suffering losses. However, having seen the hospital’s new budget and noted its positive cash flow, she believes that DUHS should allow the situation to stabilize. “All I can say is that I hope they will be patient and judicious with any cuts,” she said. Reckhow also pointed out that since PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm that prepared the initial financial documents for Durham Regional, continues to stand by its audit, DUHS should take issue with the firm, not the county. “If the audit was not correct they should sue the firm,” said Reckhow, adding that “reams of financial data were sent to [DUHS] auditors and law firms.... We feel that they knew what they were getting into.”

The hospital posted a $14.5 million loss for the fiscal year that ended this June. The $l6 million upward swing was achieved partly by cutting expenses and improving the collection of revenues, and partly by moving $9 million in revenue that would have otherwise been at Duke to Durham Regional. Liekweg reiterated that the hospital administration is not currently pursuing any further cuts. “We will continue to look for ways to improve our bottom line, as a projected $1.5 million operating margin is thin and will not provide the necessary funds to reinvest into our programs,” Liekweg wrote in an email, adding that most hospitals strive for a three percent operating margin. Durham Regional’s current operating margin is

about 1 percent. Greg Pessin contributed to this story.

Dickerson’s emphasis of inclusion remains embedded at Duke STUDENT AFFAIRS from page 12 “There’s a part of me that really wanted to be involved in what the plans for the upperclass residential campus will eventually look like,” says Dickerson. “I don’t think, for example, that all the fraternities should be made to live in one section, in one quadrangle.” She recalls that it was especially “painful” to defend the residential greek system to students and parents who complained about living in Trent Dormitory—the sophomore dorm tarnished by its isolated location. “There was a lot of anger and it made me angry, even though for the most part, I held the institutional line,” she says. Nonetheless, President Nan Keohane has promised the Board of Trustees that fraternities will keep their prime housing, and Dickerson’s ideas regarding their placement will likely not be explored in the near future. With Dickerson at the helm, the student affairs division could not navigate issues of greek life with-

out addressing race relations, too. “I see the greek

system as retaining some elements of that segregationist system,” she says, referring to Duke’s historic exclusion of minorities. Indeed, Dickerson’s race itself played a role in her approach to minority issues at Duke and, some say, even got in the way; some people criticized her for being “too black.” ‘There was a part of me that wondered, how black is too black? Would anybody ever say, “You’re too white?’ or Tou’re too Christian’ or whatever?” she says. Despite her reservations about fraternity culture, Dickerson placed top value on understanding the diversity in student perspectives. “She seemed very willing to explore new answers to old questions and to give new ideas a chance,” former Interfraternity Council President Stephen Broderick, Trinity ’99, wrote in an e-mail. “Vice President Dickerson was always very supportive of efforts to involve fraternities with other campus groups.” The vice president, who came to Duke after her

term as dean at Swarthmore College, left a lasting impression particularly on students, who say she seemed genuinely interested in what they had to say. “She is an extremely approachable person, and she often invited me to visit her in her office to talk about my ideas, life, career decisions...,” Rudy Spaulding, Trinity ’OO and former co-coordinator of Mi Gente, wrote in an e-mail. “She not only served as an administrator on whom I depended to get things done, she tried hard to be and was a friend of the students/’ With Dickerson’s departure and a search for a replacement about to begin, the Duke community is trying to pinpoint what it wants during next era for student affairs. Still, after a decade at Duke, Dickerson’s ideas remain firmly planted in the Gothic Wonderland. “There needs to be a real openness to different ways students want to spend their time...,” Baker says. “Variety allows us to embrace all the diversity that does exist at Duke.”

er should not have to pay more punitive damages than the harassing employee, but the justices disagreed. “An employer who has ratified an employee’s tortious conduct should not be allowed to use its employee’s limited financial resources as a shield against additional punitive damages,” the opinion read. In the original 1996 verdict, Dixon was ordered to pay Watson $lOO in compensation and $5,000 in punitive damages. Duke was ordered to pay Watson $lOO,OOO in compensation and $500,000 in punitive damages. In early 1999, Duke unsuccessfully appealed the awarding of $lOO,OOO worth of compensatory damages. Later the same year, the University’s appeal ofthe punitive damages was struck down by a state Court of Appeals, Legal experts say this ruling marks the end of the case, however, and signifies that Watson will finally receive payment fn m the University. “This is a dec’ ion by the North Carolina Supreme Court on a question of Nr rth Carolina law,” said Fulghum “For all practical purposes, this is the end of the line.”

together in inter-disciplinary discussions. Also, the commons has not been making money. The University has been subsidizing the commons and has provided a generous rent. The FCDC estimated the value of the space at $BO,OOO a year, but Duke has only charged $40,000 in annual rent. Gross revenues fell 10 percent over the past five years, according to the FCDC’s report. “I was barely covering my rent,” said Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst. Originally, the commons was an impressive ballroom with hardwood floors, a grand fireplace and three enormous chandeliers—which are still in stor-

age—and hosted dances and social events attended by hundreds. Currently, the commons serves only about 20 to 50 customers per day, according to the FCDC report. Low prices are seen as the major, and only, draw—the average meal costs around $4—not the orangebrown decor with matching laminated, print tablecloths. Some faculty were not interested in changing the commons. “They just needed to advertise,” said Amy Hall, an associate professor in the Divinity School and regular patron of the commons. “It took me years before I even knew the commons existed.”

Of the 50 customers per day, most of them are drawn from a pool of 100 loyal faculty. One regular patron, Associate Research Professor of Physics Thomas Phillips, defended the commons. “I’m not unhappy with the atmosphere,” he

Arrest of murder suspect follows July 11 vigil in D.C.

SISTER from page 4 had been signed between India and the United States in 1997, Sheela says Indian officials refused to try to find or arrest Kamlesh, and U.S. officials were doing little to pressure them. Under the twostep U.S. extradition process, officials would formally request a provisional arrest from a foreign government and then

the suspect would be extradited. Sheela contends that Orlando police took about five months to fax the request for Kamlesh’s arrest to India, and that by then his family had bribed enough public officials to ensure his safety. As the case dragged on and seemed no nearer to a conclusion, Sheela got involved. She set up a web site for her sis-

ter (www.duke.edu/~sa9) that details the case and asks everyone to write to his or her congressperson. She contacted

A few days after the vigil Sheela received the phone call she had been waiting for. “My parents called me and then I spoke to the State Attorney’s office in Florida saying that they had been informed of the arrest.” At that point she broke down. Tcried quite a bit, I cried all day. It makes it real, I can’t hide behind this campaigning anymore.” Sheela says she never expected progress so quickly; the unanticipated victory brought back all the memories of her sister’s death. “At this point I’m still numb,” she says. “I can’t believe it. I was not prepared for this, and I’m still not prepared for it.”

Duke re-establishes Durham bus route ALCOHOL from page 10 “Students on stage will be selected specifically to give information we think is important to hear,” said Ray Rodriguez, student health administrative coordinator. “There will be peer theater on alcohol and violence issues.” The University hopes to reinstitute bus service to Durham shopping areas as a non-alcoholic social alternative for freshmen. The bus will run to the South Square area from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. and will stop at South Square Mall, the Wynnsong movie theater and several area restaurants. Jim Lazarus, chair of the cultural assessment subcommittee of the Alcohol Task Force, is working on bringing other non-alcoholic social programming for the first six weeks of school. On Friday nights, the University will provide musical entertainment, food and a movie on West Campus, and there will be various other forms of entertainment Saturday nights on East Campus. “[There will bel varying events designed based on what worked before, what students requested...,” said Lazarus. “It’s not meant to replace the old social scene.

has not yet been secured. Administrators will also try to bring AWARE, a 10week alcohol series under the Duke Addictions Program, to campus. “AWARE is an educational program targeted for individuals who have had consequences associated with their alcohol use but may not have a diagnostic substance-use disorder and is therefore not considered treatment,” Paul Nagy, administrative director of DAP, wrote in an e-mail. The details of the contract are still being worked out, but administrators expect the two-hour-per-week program to serve as a consequence of repeated alcohol violations. As part of its quest to inform students about the repercussions of alcohol, the University will print about 20,000 pamphlets entitled “Students Helping Students,” and resident advisers will distribute the pamphlets to their residents. In addition, RAs will participate in a three-hour workshop conducted by Pharmacology and Cancer Biology Professor Cynthia Kuhn and Research Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Bill Wilson; the professors will focus on sociological, biological and pharmacological issues, and on the most effective ways of dealing with students during an alcohol episode. RAs will also attend a five-hour workshop conducted by Counseling and Psychological Services focusing on peer counseling, crisis intervention and crisis prevention. CAPS is also searching for an alcohol and substance abuse specialist following the elimination of substance abuse specialist Jeanine Atkinson’s position. “We’re working madly to get that done,” said Clack. “We’ll get a good person. They will be the gatekeeper students go to before seeking further treatment.” Several administrators emphasized that they will not revise the alcohol policy until students return in the fall. The Alcohol Task Force hired CIRCLe, a not-forprofit consulting firm founded by Young Trustee Brandon Busteed, Trinity '99, to conduct an assessment of the social culture at Duke in the spring. The results of the report will be released after task force members have reviewed them. Tim Millington contributed to this story.

When Chris Carrawell last stepped off a basketball court, he had tears streaming down his cheeks as he exchanged a nationally televised embrace with his coach and friend, Mike Krzyzewski.

ALIZA GOLDMAN/THE CHRONICLE

CHRIS CARRAWELL will be throwing down slams in the raucous Alamodome instead of Cameron Indoor Stadium next season.

When Chris Carrawell was next to be televised nationally, he chose not to share his emotions with the basketball public by turning down his invitation to sit in the green room at the 2000 NBA draft, which took place June 28 in Minneapolis, Minn. Instead, the only four-year starter ever to win four consecutive regular season ACC titles decided to watch the draft from his own living room in St. Louis, Mo. Good decision. In what he later said was the toughest moment of his life, Carrawell and his family sat watching as NBA commissioner David Stern and his associates walked to the podium 40 different times to announce the most recent NBA inductee. None of those players were named Chris Carrawell. It wasn’t until the San Antonio Spurs made the 41st pick that he discovered which city he would call home next year. “I’m very disappointed about not being selected in the first round,” he said. “I just don’t understand it. I didn’t understand the whole draft.” Draft experts had predicted that Carrawell would be selected by Charlotte with the 19th pick in the first round, but that fell to pieces when the Hornets instead opted for Kentucky’s Jamaal Magloire. And so, with only 10 picks remaining in the first round, the first-team All-American and ACC player of the year waited. A few picks later, a high school player was selected. And then a player from Croatia, another from Greece, still yet one more from Slovenia. All of them taken over one of college basketball’s most con-

sistent winners; none of them having stepped on a college basketball court in their life. ‘There’s probably no player except [No. 1 pick] Kenyon Martin, the best player in the draft, that had a better resume than me,” Carrawell said. “No other senior accomplished more than me. It’s just a bad thing. I don’t know what happened. It was a shocker.” Soon the first round was over. And still he waited. Until finally, 41 picks into the 2000 NBA draft and more than an hour since the Hornets had turned him aside, Carrawell had made it to the NBA. When the San Antonio Spurs—the only team that didn’t pass on Carrawell at least once—at last placed their call into the commissioner’s office, the painful

waiting game was over. Finally. T look at it like, first or second round, San Antonio is still the best place for me,” Carrawell said. “It’s a great organization. It’s kind of like Duke because the team is the only thing in town. It’s a great fit for me.” For Carrawell, the moment was bittersweet. For the group of men huddled in the Spurs’ war room, it was a

moment of celebration. Both the Spurs and Carrawell had sat patiently while the other 28 NBA teams made their picks: Carrawell praying to hear his name announced, the Spurs crossing their fingers that it wouldn’t be. “We tried to get into the late first round to get Chris, but we couldn’t trade up to pick there,” San Antonio assistant general manager R.C. Buford said. “We waited at No. 41 and just hoped he would be there. We were very excited.” Even though Carrawell is now on a team that plans on playing him immediately, he was not nearly as excited as the Spurs. Friends, coaches, even his former teammates called to wish him well and offer their encouragement. See

Carrawell expects to play immediately CARRAWELL from page 6 Nate James, who has spent four years as a teammate of Carrawell’s, did his best to keep his friend positive heading into his rookie season. “I told him that things happen for a reason,” James said. “It was unfortunate for him to go in the second round, but San Antonio is a great situation for him. Now he just has to prove everybody wrong.” Making believers out of those who doubted him is something Carrawell has always excelled at. Back in his high school days, college scouts ranked Carrawell as one of the most coveted recruits in basketball during his junior year. But then two painful shoulder operations for which he still bears prominent scars severely restricted Carrawell’s movement, and many people began to second-guess him. Still, the quick learner forced himself into Mike Krzyzewski’s starting lineup his first two seasons by playing ferocious defense at any position he was needed. As a junior at Duke, Carrawell continued to wait in the shadows while teammates Elton Brand, Trajan Langdon, William Avery and Corey Maggette stole the spotlight en route to the 1999 national title game. When those four players all went in the first round of the NBA draft, Carrawell refused to let the team that was now his be mediocre. Instead, he finished near the top of nearly every statistical category for the Blue Devils and guided them to their second consecutive No. 1 ranking in the final polls. “He is such a quick learner and he is a winner” Krzyzewski said the day before the draft. “A lot of that has to do with the fact that he knew that it was either to be playing with players who were better than him, or be the best player out on the court. So I think he brings that to a pro team, while a lot of those other kids have not learned what it is to play with other good players.” With the Spurs, Carrawell will have a chance to play with some of the best in the world, including former league MVPs Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Two seasons removed from their world championship, Duncan and the Spurs are a veteran team that could use a shot of adrenaline like Carrawell. But the Spurs have made clear to their newest player that he won’t be there to be a cheerleader or to watch and learn. He will be there to play. And if Shawn Elliott, who is still recovering from a kidney transplant more than a year ago, doesn’t return, Carrawell may very well be in the starting lineup. Either way, Carrawell knows it’s up to him to do what he has always done: earn his time on the court. And the ACC’s winningest player in regular season conference play has the perfect motivation. “To actually be invited to the draft and not go in the first round, that’s something I will use as motivation whether it’s my first year or my tenth year,” he said. “It was the worst. I definitely won’t forget it. It was the toughest day in my life.” &

When Carl Franks arrived on campus as the head football coach more than a year ago, the promise of a multi-receiver, aerial offense straight from the pages of Florida Gators coach Steve Spurrier’s playbook had Blue Devil fans dreaming of high-scoring shootouts. When that same offense took three weeks to stumble into the endzone for the first time, critics of Duke’s new

QUARTERBACK SPENCER ROMINE, shown here in street clothes at last season’s home opener, will command the offense.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 19,

“Airborne” offense were lining up to take their shots at the first-year coach. Now in his second year at the helm, Franks promises that his players’ and coaching staffs increased familiarity with his system will translate into more touchdowns and fewer glitches. Kinks in the armor

But if he is to raise the ship that sank so quickly at the beginning of last season, the mind behind Duke’s offense must do so without his two top receivers and two primary tight ends from 1999. After the graduation of starting tight end Terrence Dupree and Scottie Montgomery, the second-leading receiver in program history, the young Blue Devil coach saw two of his more promising offensive weapons transfer their eligibility to other universities late last year. “Any time you have a coaching change take place, you don’t always have everyone’s philosophies, you don’t always have everybody’s goals the same when the new coach comes in,”Franks said. “We have several guys who chose to pursue their careers elsewhere. But we’ll move on and we have good enough players that we will be in good shape to do that.” Wide receiver Richmond Flowers, who earned his diploma by completing his requirements last semester at Tennessee-Chattanooga, became the first to defect shortly after the season ended. Saying that another program may better suit his ultimate goal of the NFL, Flowers decided to transfer his final year of eligibility next season to the Division II school. Flowers finished the season tied for first in receiving touchdowns and second behind Montgomery in receptions, yards and yards per reception, but he said it was important to him to be on a winning team. “You don’t consider how awful and how contagious losing gets,” said Flowers, who added that his loyalty was to former coach Fred Goldsmith. “I was recruited by Coach Goldsmith and I have the utmost respect for him,

but my choice to leave was not based on a single coach.” A few months later, another bomb dropped on Franks when freshman Benjamin Watson waited until finals period to notify his coach he was transferring to nationally recognized Georgia. Playing behind Dupree at tight end, Watson emerged as one of the more consistent targets late in the season. His versatility and ability to break free after the catch eventually landed him two starts at fullback in Duke’s two-tight-end formation, and Franks was counting on Watson as this season’s starting tight end. “I didn’t think I fit in too well and I wanted something different,” Watson said. “Duke is a great university, it has a great program and great coaches. I hope they do well and I have the most respect for them. It just wasn’t for me, that’s all.” Missing targets In addition to Watson, who was the only player other than Flowers and Montgomery to catch a touchdown pass

last season, Dupree, Montgomery and Flowers’ departures strip Duke of three of its top four receivers from a year ago. These vacancies will be especially troubling with starting quarterback Spencer Romine, currently 10th on Duke’s all-time passing charts, ready for a career year after recovering smoothly from last month’s shoulder operation. The only returning member from last year’s four top receivers is Ben Erdeljac, who sat out spring drills while attempting to recover from the tom ACL he suffered in the ninth game of the season. Franks said Erdeljac is healthy, but he acknowledged that his leading receiver out of the backfield, running back B.J. Hill, also sat out spring practice because of a tom ACL.

Even with all the injuries, Franks will rely on Mike Hart, who played sparingly with a strained hamstring last season, to fill the starting void at tight end. But with vacancies aplenty at wide receiver, projected starters Erdeljac and Kyle Moore, who has only 17receptions in two seasons as a Blue Devil, will not be the only answers in Duke’s five-receiver sets. Much of that responsibility is expected to fall into the hands of junior walk-on D.R. Cash and incoming freshman receivers Jeremy Battier, Reggie Love and Khary Sharpe. Two of the more lauded members ofFranks’ 24-man recruiting haul, Battier and Love were both named SuperPrep All-Americans in high school. ‘The offense isn’t going to change, but

Reminded of the last year’s injuryplagued season at his annual June press conference, Franks offered his quick-witted humor on the need for six quarterbacks. With a grin on his face and a few chuckles from the assembled media, Franks said what any visitor to Wallace Wade has already learned. “It’s been proven around here that you need more than one quarterback.”

Blue Devils await NCAA punishment MAGGETTE from page 1, The Chronicle NCAA tournament, plus an automatic vacation of their performance in the tournament. In all the cases that have been similar to this one, that is what the

precedent has been.” After the University forwarded the statement to NCAA officials July 11, it entered what the NCAA calls the penalty phase. Now, NCAA officials will decide whether or not to strip Duke of its 1999 national runner-up status and part or all ofits $226,815 in tournament revenue from that season.

Duke officials and head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski this week refused to comment further. Maggette and Duke agreed not to release the statement to the public. Despite Duke’s claims that it had no way of knowing that Maggette was ineligible to play basketball for the Blue Devils, the NCAA’s current rules on amateurism still holds universities in such situations responsible. This policy

has received national criticism, and Krzyzewski attacked it at his June 27 meeting with the media. “How can you be responsible for everything a kid has ever done?” Krzyzewski asked. “But you should be responsible for a kid while he is in your program.” One week after Krzyzewski’s press conference, athletic director Joe Alieva said department officials did not know what to expect. “We have no knowledge at all about what the NCAA is going to do,”Alieva said. Nonetheless, precedent of sorts was set in late June, when NCAA officials ordered UCLA to return 45 percent of the $45,321 it earned from its participation in the NCAA tournament. UCLA was penalized for playing Jaßon Rush, who came under NCAA investigation early in the 2000 season and sat out 24 games last year for accepting money from Piggie and an agent. Rush was one of five AAU players, including younger brother Kareem Rush, Oklahoma State sophomore Andre

Williams, third-year NBA player Korleone Young and Maggette, who accepted a total of $35,550 from Piggie while they were still high school students. The NCAA tempered its punishment of UCLA because its athletic department was not aware of Rush’s violations when he arrived there in fall 1998. The same standard will likely be applied to Duke. Even though the Rush case is similar to Duke’s situation with Maggette, Chris Kennedy, Duke’s NCAA compliance coordinator, pointed out that the NCAA is under no obligation to use the same standards of punishment. “None of the other cases are exactly

the same,” Kennedy said. “UCLA’s kid [also] took money from an agent while he was still at UCLA. This is a case where nothing happened before [Maggette] got here and then he was gone by the time any of this came to light.” Throughout the federal investigation of Piggie, Maggette maintained his innocence although Piggie had admitted in May to giving him money. But push came to shove when US. District Court Judge Gary Fenner scheduled Maggette to testify in a July 7 evidentiary hearing to clear up the discrepancies. Piggie had been indicted April 12 on 11 counts which included the defrauding of four universities, but even after Piggie’s guilty plea to two of those counts, Maggette’s testimony was necessary so that Piggie could be sentenced fairly. The hearing was postponed for five days, and Maggette waited until the day before his scheduled appearance before choosing to avoid testifying by publicly acknowleging his wrongdoing for the first time. , During the past year, various groups have taken steps to update what many

believe are antiquated definitions of amateurism. One of the most prominent criticisms of the current legislation revolves around its zero-tolerance policy on accepting any form of benefits. Many observers argue that the regulation does not take into account changes in the sport since the NCAA last reviewed its current policy.

KARYN SINGER/THE CHRONIC

COREY MAGGETTE, famous for his acrobatic slams, placed Duke’s basketball program in the precarious position of waiting for its first NCAA sanctions in team history. ‘There are some rules that aren’t up to speed with what has actually happened in our sport,” Krzyzewski said. ‘The whole culture and socio-economic makeup of the kids playing the game are so much different in where they come from and the pressures on them. We have to come up with rules that are more current.” The NCAA is in the process of appointing a 10-person committee headed by Syracuse chancellor Bud Shaw to re-evaluate the league’s current legislation. In the committee’s vision statement on the

deregulation of amateurism, the NCAA acknowledges that the current rules have not been able to punish ineligible student-athletes and their institutions consistently for eligibility violations.

Fabulous freshmen raise expectations even higher

Duke’s second straight five-freshman, all-star class has a return trip to the Final Four in reach

the Final Four. Duke eventually lost to Purdue in the national championship game, but by then its name was indelibly etched in the minds of schoolgirl hoop stars. “Getting to the Final Four was tremendous for us as a program,” Goestenkors said. “It allowed high school players to see us and to see that we were going to be a national power. All of a sudden we were in on many of the top players.”

By ANDREA BOOKMAN The Chronicle

Entering her 10th season as head women’s basketball coach, Gail Goestenkors finds herself spending a lot of time talking about potential. This team, it seems, has overwhelming promise—to be, perhaps, Duke’s best ever. Before the season begins, Goestenkors will gather her team and ask them to set goals for themselves. “I’m sure the goals will be to win the ACC regular season, win the ACC tournament championship and get to the Final Four,” she said. Last year, the Blue Devils won their first ACC tournament championship. The year prior, they captured their first ACC regular season title and made their first Final Four. Could this be the year they put it all together?

A new set of stars Not only was Duke “in on” top players, it was consistently and methodically signing them. With potential to spare, five new Blue Devils will arrive on campus in August. Prep school All-Americans Rometra Craig, Alana Beard and kiss Tillis join the top two high school players from Michigan, Vicki Krapohl and Crystal White, on East Campus this fall. “We’ve signed players who are very versatile,” Goestenkors said. “Vicki is the only one who plays only one position. Rometra may be our best athlete ever. Alana might be our most skilled player ever. Everyone has the potential to make an impact.” Best athlete ever? Most skilled player ever? Goestenkors is serious about these young women. And their resumes are impressive. Beard led her high school squad to four straight Louisiana state championships. Tillis, one of the Blue Devils’ most versatile freshmen, is a prolific threepoint shooter and shot blocker. Both she and White can dunk the basketball. Craig, the daughter of former San Francisco 49er Roger Craig, is a top-notch defender. Although she tore her ACL at the end of her high school season, Craig

TRI-CAPTAIN MISSY WEST, shown here soaring for a layup against Campbell, will have to set an example for the five freshmen.

“We have the potential to be the best team we’ve ever had,” Goestenkors said. Whether this potential is realized in the 20002001 season will depend upon several factors. Will the five-member class of brand-name freshmen perform up to expectations? Will this team subscribe as readily to Duke’s patented formula of putting team goals well before individual ones? With a roster stacked with Miss Basketball honorees and Gatorade players of the year, how will Goestenkors manage to keep everyone happy? If Goestenkors finds the right equation, she may find her team in the Final Four again after a oneyear hiatus. In 1999, the Blue Devils shot their way into the realm of elite women’s college basketball programs by beating perennial power Tennessee to advance to

There’s a new kid in town He has yet to play a single game in a Duke uniform, but already Chris Duhon is making people take notice. Mike Krzyzewski has promised the media and fans that Duhon will be a “very special” player, and the incoming freshman discussed his basketball future with The Chronicle inside his future home, Cameron

me out with things, tell me to calm down. Plus the leadership we have on the court, I really don’t have to do that much. He had more pressure than I had because he had to run the show. But they’re more mature now and I can just sit back and take things slowly.

point guard?

How do you like it at Duke so far?

It’s been good. Fm rooming with [basketball player] Andre Sweet, and we have a lot of things in common. We’re having fun and enjoying everything. We do eveiything together: we come work out together, we go out together and we have already formed that bond. It happened so quickly, it’s great. •

BG: What have you been doing outside the classroom? CD: Since there are only two of us here right now, we’ve been working out with the football team at 8:00 in the morning. We’ve been working out, getting stronger, getting faster, things like that. Then after class we usually come into Cameron and shoot to work out on our own. BG; When you played pickup ball with the older players, did any of them surprise you with moves you hadn’t seen before?

CD: No, not really. I practically always knew what they were intending to do and I’ve seen mostly everything they can do. Nobody showed me anything different, except that they improved. Their game went up another level. Going from Jason to Nick, all their games have stepped up. BG; Is there going to be any sort of competitive rivalry between you and Jason?

CD: It won’t be anything serious, but more out of fun. We’ve already formed a good bond together and it’s going to be more of us trying to get the other person trying to step up their game.

Last year, Jason looked very nervous in his first two games. How do you think you’ll perform in your first game next season? •

environment, a different game. I know I’ll be I’ll be more prepared. Plus, since Jason’s already gone through the experience, he can help

nervous, but I think

BG; How do you feel about sharing the backcourt with Jason?

CD: I think we’ll be more deadly out there at the same time, especially when they really can’t focus on who to stick and who to put the most pressure on because sometimes Jason will bring it up and sometimes I will. Plus that will give us a chance to work more on the offensive side, going off of screens and doing things away from the ball, instead of always having the ball in our hands. I see nothing but positives in that, especially on the defensive end. Two quick point guards pressing full court and getting in your face, I just see all positives with that.

BG CD

IY GREG PESSIN

Can you compare your game to Jason’s?

I think we have pretty much the same game. I think he is better at penetrating than I am, and I believe that I am a better shooter than him. The only really big difference is that he has more experience than I have. But other than that we’re both real competitive, we hustle, we know how to play the game, we’re unselfish. •

BG: Can the fans expect some exciting fast breaks when you two get out running? CD: Definitely. We can both make the spectacular play. We can make the nice pass to somebody and make the great finish, or do it ourselves. I think the fans are going to be really excited about this year. BG: Coach K has said he knows you will be a very special player here at Duke. Does that put extra pressure on you?

CD: just take it in stride. It really just motivates me to do what he ask's me to do, just to go out and work

hard and not make a liar out of him. Just go out and do the the things that he recruited me to do so I won’t make a liar out of him. BG: What do you think your immediate impact will be on the team?

CD: Bringing depth and versatility to the team because we have so many versatile players that can play more than one position. It just gives other people options to play different positions and not have to be be stuck on one position the whole game.

BG CD

•

What do you want your legacy to be at Duke?

Winning four national championships—because I’m staying all four years. And just having the greatest time and have everybody saying, ‘He played hard the whole game and he had fun.’ And I just want to give the fans something to enjoy. •

means out of the question. “Certainly I think Nate can make a big jump,” Krzyzewski said. “I don’t think Nate’s jump last year was particularly noted because we had freshman stories, we had Carrawell stories, we had Battier stories. Then there’s Nate. At our banquet, I even made special mention of him.” On adding depth

After playing a six-man rotation last season, Duke saw firsthand against Florida in the Sweet 16 how a small lineup could be worn down against an opponent with a deeper bench. With sophomores Nick Horvath and Casey Sanders both expected to play more minutes and two new freshmen on board, Duke won’t be as thin as it was last season. But even ifthe Blue Devils incorporate a nine or 10-man rotation, there’s one person who won’t be on the bench very often. “I think we will play more guys next year, but you can be dam sure that Battier is going to play 32-36 minutes a game,” Krzyzewski said. “We may come at [opponents] with more people, but they are going to get tired of seeing Battier’s face come out.”

Whether Duke’s depth pans out will depend heavily on the play of freshmen Andre Sweet and Chris Duhon. Sweet, a 6-foot-6 swing player, was overlooked by many recruiters because he was only one of three outstanding seniors on his high school team. Although Sweet didn’t steal the spotlight in high school, Krzyzewski said he expects him to contribute even more to this team than other freshmen have in the past. Only time will tell what’s in store for Sweet, but his summer roommate already has encountered some pretty lofty expectations from his teammates and coaching staff Recognized for his smooth ball-handling and deadly long-range shooting, Duhon has been mentioned alongside Duke greats like Christian Laettner, Johnny Dawkins, Bobby Hurley, Tommy Amaker and Grant Hill. Four ofthose Blue Devils have their jerseys hanging from Cameron’s rafters, and the man who coached them all sees the same possibilities in his newest addition. “I just think Chris Duhon is going to be a very special basketball player and I’m anxious to coach him,” Krzyzewski said. Injury report

Casey Sanders had his ankle scoped to remove a few loose bodies, but Krzyzewski said in late June that the sophomore center was close to playing again and would be fine well before the first practice of the season.

So very near, but... Lacrosse coaches Mike Pressler and Kerstin Kimel have their programs on the verge of championships By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

In the summer of 1997, they weren’t even in the same sphere as coaches. She was a 25-year-old at the helm of a .500 team regarded as the lightweight of the conference’s lacrosse programs; he was a 37-year-old veteran who had just taken his team to the first Final Four in the

program’s 44-season history. Three summers later, the mid-May tides had drawn them to nearly the exact same place. As men’s lacrosse coach Mike Pressler and women’s lacrosse coach Kerstin Kimel strolled the Duke sidelines in NCAA quarterfinal play, both were a mere breath away from the promised land. But an untimely penalty in triple overtime bounced the Blue Devil women from contention on a scorching Sunday afternoon in Princeton, N.J., while an unconventional putback of a deflected shot off Duke goalie Matt Breslin’s helmet eliminated the Blue Devil men the following Sunday. And now, Kimel, the only coach in the five-year history of Blue Devil women’s lacrosse, and Pressler, the all-time winningest men’s lacrosse coach at Duke, are both searching for away to lift their respective programs to their first ever national championship. “Nothing changes here. Our goal has been from the beginning to be playing on Monday for the national championship,” Pressler said. “It’s not just getting to

To the Men of the Class of 2004 On behalf of the seventeen fraternities affiliated with the Interfraternity Council of Duke University, congratulations and welcome to Duke. The coming months are sure to be full of many new pursuits as you acclimate yourselves to your surroundings. You will not be asked to have any formal involvement with the fraternities until the beginning of rush at the start of the spring semester, and I would like to encourage you to actively explore all aspects of Duke, including the Greek system. By deferring rush until the spring, it is our hope that you will have the maximum opportunity to sift through the many options presented by the University. Life at Duke has long been characterized by its unique tradition of openness and inclusiveness. This spirit continues to thrive at the majority of events, both fraternity-sponsored and not. You should feel welcome at these occasions and consider them chances to meet upperclassmen, as well as have a good time. Duke’s openness allows you unlimited opportunity to discover where you belong. The only limiting factor is your own willingness to take initiative.

Throughout the fall semester there will be several sessions at which you will be able to learn more about the rush process and the fraternity system. Please do your best to attend one of these sessions, especially if you are uncertain about participating in rush. Also, feel free to contact the IFC with any questions you may have at 684-2496.1 hope that Duke will meet and exceed all of your expectations, and I wish you the best of luck in the coming months. Sincerely,

President

Interfraternity Council of Duke University

the Final Four, it’s nothing like that. We’ve been to the Final Four. It’s about winning there and playing for the national championship. That’s what it is.” So far, neither coach has been able to win at the Final Four, and each has only made one trip there. In a miraculous turnaround from the program’s inaugural 3-12 season in 1996, Kimel required only three years to take her team to the national semifinals as she upped her squad’s win total from that first season by 10 in 1999. Still only eight years removed from the national championship she played a crucial part in winning as a two-time All-American at Maryland, Kimel saw her program’s unprecedented success in 1999 crumble under added expectations last season. Ranked as high as No. 2 early in the 2000 campaign, Duke’s women’s lacrosse team allowed second half leads to escape in all six losses last season, including its eighth consecutive series defeat to Virginia when the Cavaliers closed out a two-goal victory with five unanswered goals. That trend eventually culminated in the 9-8 triple overtime loss to Princeton in the quarterfinals, which saw a 4-1 halftime advantage for the Blue Devils evaporate courtesy of six straight Princeton goals to open the second half. Tm disappointed that we didn’t make it to the Final Four as a program, but I think maybe in the long run it might be the best thing for us because I don’t think we played well enough in that final game,”

Government welcomes you to Duke and encourages you to run for a legislative position! Election packets will be available in the Duke Student Government office in the Bryan Center when you get back to school. Elections will be held on September 7.

If you have any questions over the summer, call us at (919) 684-6403. We’ll see you in the Fall.

Biro battles Duke to retain financial aid After losing her scholarship for allegedly breaking team rules, the tennis player tells her story By STEVEN WRIGHT and BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle Junior Erica Biro is attempting the biggest comeback of her life, but this time it won’t be on the tennis court.' One month after women’s tennis coach Jamie Ashworth released Biro from her scholarship, Biro challenged Duke’s athletic department to retain her financial aid. She is only the second Duke athlete since the late 1970s to have her scholarship revoked.

After last season’s conclusion, Ashworth filed a rec-

RAY HOLLOMAN/THE CHRONICLE

ERICA BIRO has appealed the withdrawal of her tennis scholarship even though she realizes she can’t return to the team.

ommendation with athletic director Joe Alieva asking that Biro’s scholarship not be renewed because of an allegedly lax and selfish attitude. Examples of this

Biro on both Nov. 5 and April 1 that her scholarship would come under review unless she changed her attitude immediately. “Scholarships for athletes are for one year and renewable at the coach’s discretion,” Ashworth said. “I had a verbal conversation with her in my office and spoke with her several times.” Biro denies any such conversations ever took place. “He never had a meeting with me—if he had, I would have been aware of this,” she said. “I had no clue that this was coming. I thought everything was fine.” If Biro’s appeal is denied by the committee, Harris said he plans to file suit against the University in civil court. Assistant University Counsel Kate Hendricks refused to comment on the pending case. Although no athlete has ever appealed a decision to revoke a scholarship for disciplinary reasons, Harris said he is confident that Biro’s case will succeed. “What you have here is a coach that will have Erica lose her scholarship because she speaks her mind,” he said. “That is not a reason to terminate a scholarship. He knows he has to justify what he is doing so he makes these things up. It’s unfortunate a coach would do that.” Ashworth explicitly denied these claims and said t Biro not only broke team rules, but she also had a poor worth ethic, a bad attitude and an inability to get along with members ofthe team. “You also have to remember it’s not a win-lose thing,” Ashworth said. “It’s more than that. It’s a lot more than just winning matches. She could have played a lot harder.” Regardless ofwhether the appeal is denied or upheld, Biro said she will return to Duke for the fall semester. Ashworth has informed her that even if her scholarship is reinstated, she will not be invited back to the tennis team. “He’s done this to me,” Biro said. “My teammates didn’t just lose a player, they lost a friend.”

alleged conduct included “tanking” matches and drinking the night before a road match. Despite her 32-12 singles record last season, Ashworth singled out 10 specific allegations of wrongdoing in his complaint. At the end of the letter, he argued that Biro “has been more disruptive to the overall cause of our team than productive; our team would be a better [onel without her.” Telling her stoiy publicly for the first time since her scholarship was terminated June 19, Biro maintains that the contents ofAshworth’s complaint are entirely false. “Erica’s scholarship should have never been terminated,” said Bob Harris, a lawyer representing Biro. “She abided by Duke’s code of conduct and her grades were fine. She’s entitled to return to her scholarship.” Included in the complaint, which tracks Ashworth’s dissatisfaction from the fall season in September to the NCAA Championships in May, are accusations that Biro violated the University’s alcohol policy and blamed the tennis program for having to drop one of her courses. Biro, for her part, claims that she was hounded and scrutinized because she wasn’t afraid to voice her complaints to her coach. “It was very personal for him,” she said. “I was constantly under scrutiny like no one else on the team. “I showed up to every practice. I put in the time and effort every time. I take this scholarship very seriously.” Biro and her attorney both said her removal from the team was a complete surprise. But Ashworth insists that in addition to a formal letter informing Biro of his recommendation to athletic director Joe Alieva that she no longer receive a scholarship, he also verbally warned her multiple times. In his complaint, Ashworth contends he assured

3. That you abide by

One-year renewable scholarships. For scholar-

ship athletes at Duke, they are a concept that must have seemed more like an urban legend or a myth than a reality. But its there, nonetheless, spelled out simply in black and white. And it’s something that every schol-

arship athlete at Duke receives before joining their team. Contrary to popular belief that athletes possess guaranteed four-year scholarships, NCAA rules prohibit universities from promising anything more than renewable one-year offers. And in a letter sent home to all Duke athletes, the final paragraph concludes with a warning that previously appeared as harmless as the paper it’s printed on. If for any reason you fail to meet the conditions outlined [above], your aid will be reviewed by the Department of Athletics.” Review an athlete’s financial aid? Even Blue Devil coaches have said they tell recruits and their parents that it’s nearly impossible for an athlete to lose his or her scholarship. Rare, yes; impossible, no. Athletics director Joe Alieva and Dr. Chris Kennedy, Duke’s NCAA compliance coordinator, each could only recall one instance prior to this summer of a coach requesting the repeal of an athlete’s scholarship. And that was one instance total at Duke since the 19705. But, as this summer’s removal of one more scholar-

ship within the athletic department demonstrated, the

rarity ofthe rebuke doesn’t make it any less real. As it says in the terms of the letter, there are three

violations that an athlete can commit which would warrant the removal of their scholarship. Aside from failing to meet the academic expectations of Duke, the primary reason for stripping an athlete of his or her scholarship deals with disciplinary infractions. “There are basically three reasons to take away [a scholarship],” Alieva said. “If you don’t represent your team well, if you don’t represent your school well or if you don’t represent yourself well. Those are the three basic reasons.” Once a coach decides that one of her athletes has failed to properly fulfill one of these terms, she must present her case to Alieva and obtain the athletic director’s approval before the scholarship will be revoked. Due to the rarity of the procedure, Duke officials admit that no playbook exists on exactly what measures the athletic director should then take before making his decision. Despite the autonomy he possesses to either approve or deny the renewal of the scholarship, the few times scholarships have been appealed by a coach, the athletic director has always begun by seeking the advice ofhis peers. “He wouldn’t just listen to a coach and say, ‘OK, that sounds good,”’ Dr. Kennedy said. “Beyond that, he would confer with faculty, the chairman of athletics, the coach and anyone else who might have something relevant to add.” Even after the Alieva agrees with a coach and recommends the dissolution of an athlete’s scholarship, all is not lost for the student. As female tennis player Erica Biro has chosen to do following the removal of her scholarship this summer, athletes can appeal to retain their financial aid at Duke despite not playing their sports. While Kennedy and Alieva both refused comment on Biro’s case pending the outcome of her appeal, they did detail the appeals process. In disputed cases, director of financial aid James Belvin, two students and three faculty members convene as a committee to listen to the athlete’s appeal. Barring further action with the NCAA, the decision of that committee is final.

Christmas present in summer: Duke lands \)Vyntcr The third-rated high school junior in the nation has already committed to Duke for 2001-02 By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle

After all the phone calls, all the letters and all the glossy print brochures, it was what she had always known that made the difference. Saying that it was “what had been in her heart,” high school junior Wynter Whitley officially gave women’s basketball coach Gail Goestenkors a verbal commitment in late June, making the versatile 6-foot-2 wing the first member of the Blue Devils’ 2001 recruiting class. “I pretty much knew the first time I visited here,” Whitley said. “It took me a while to realize that it was what I wanted to do and [make it official!.” A 1998-99 Nike All American, Whitley’s short-list of schools included Duke, Tennessee, Connecticut, Georgia and Virginia. But a number offactors—including remaining close to her Georgia home and the Goestenkors brand of offense—made the final decision an easy one. “I think Duke has been her number one choice all along,” said David Anderson, Whitley’s high school coach at Atlanta’s Holy Innocents. “Duke is very similar to Holy Innocents relative to its setting—a small, friendly school. She likes that and she liked the whole feel of the place.” And as the All Star Girls Report’s No. 3 ranked junior and Blue Star Index’s No. 4, Duke’s newest recruit is also its biggest. Although Goestenkors has signed back-to-back top-three recruiting classes, no recruit has ever entered Duke ranked in the top five by both major

recruiting services. “The [recruiting run] Goestenkors has put together speaks volumes with what she’s done with the program,” Anderson said. “Gail has made her program one

m DUKE RECYCLES

that top recruits now have to consider and the result is getting great players like Wynter.” As a sophomore, Whitley led Holy Innocents to the class A Georgia state championship and was named MVP by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As a junior this season, she was named an honorable mention to Street and Smith’s All-America team, despite missing the final two games of the season with a mildly sprained ankle. A do-it-all player in high school—she has played every position on her high school team—Whitley should quickly find a home in Duke’s aggressive fiveout offense! Though Whitely easily has the size to play inside at 6-2 and 177 pounds, the Blue Devil-to-be will likely move out to the wing in college. On the perimeter, Whitley would give Goestenkors the Lauren Rice mold of big guard that the lOth-year head coach has been so productive with. The opportunity to employ her versatility in Duke’s wide-open offense separated the on-court Blue Devils from the list ofremaining suitors. “My strength is versatility,” Whitley said. ‘That’s what separates Duke from the rest of the schools, they [encourage that]. That’s why I thought I was a good fit

for Duke.” Of course at Gail Goestenkors’ Duke, there’s no guarantee that even a recruit as highly touted as Whitely will see significant playing time her freshman season. With two tremendous recruiting classes ahead of her (the incoming class of 2002 includes Iciss Tillis—formerly Duke’s highest rated recruit—Alana Beard, Vicki Krapohl, Crystal White and Rometra Craig), the Blue Devils’ roster will be sporting 11 top-100 high school players. But of all the things this rising high school senior

Duke Recycles thanks you for making Move-Out for Charity 2000 a huge success! For a few weeks in May, several trailers were placed in parking lots across campus for donations of clothing, furniture, appliances, loft wood, cinder, blocks, and food from students during move out.

This year, we collected approximately 32 tons of great stuff! The clothing, furniture, and household items were donated to Durham’s Community Shelter for Hope, Genesis Home, Agape Comer, Durham Rescue Mission, and the Helping Hand Mission in Raleigh. These organizations will give the goods to families in need. The building materials were given to TROSA, a group who rebuilds inner city housing, and the food was donated to the Durham Branch of the NC

Food Bank.

Duke Recycles is proud to be involved in the University’s outreach efforts to the broader Triangle community. You certainly made a difference and helped Duke achieve its goals of being a good environmental citizen and fostering a good social and moral campus community.

We thank everyone who helped out and made this year’s Move-Out for Charity another great success!

has to worry about, playing time simply isn’t going to be one of them. “She’s the kind of player that things like that don’t matter to,” Anderson said. “She doesn’t want to be the star and make her teammates feel left out. Even [at Holy Innocents], she wants her teammates to feel as good. She honestly doesn’t care when she goes out if she scores four or 40. If the team wins, she’s done her job.” And if there’s one thing that Whitley can still count on as a member of what should be Duke’s most talented team ever, it’s that there won’t be many nights that she’ll go to bed without having done her job.

Dunleavy, Williams set to play for USA young men’s team From staff and wire reports In their first organized competition since a Sweet 16 exit against Florida in mid March, Jason Williams and Mike Dunleavy return to the court

again today. This time, however, the Blue Devil sophomores accustomed to playing in blue and white will be adding red to their uniforms. At 6 p.m. tonight in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil, the USA young men qualifying team will challenge seven other nations for the Pan-American championship Carlos Boozer, Jason Williams Duke’s Dunleavy and Williams were all finalists for the team after the trio played a critical role in the Blue Devils’ success last season as freshmen. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, who is commanding the helm of the team, elected to take both Dunleavy and Williams as part of his 12-man team, which is comprised entirely of university players. Tayshaun Prince of Kentucky, Steven Black of Maryland and Nick Collison ofKansas highlight a few of the talented undergraduates who will help the United States compete for a gold medal. Of the eight teams contending for the PanAmerican championship, the United States is paired in a four-team bracket with Argentina, Panama and Uruguay, tonight’s first round opponent. The top two teams will advance to the medal round Saturday, with the gold medal game taking place at 7 p.m. Sunday. Each of the top three finishers will have the opportunity to advance to the World Championships, which will take place in Japan in 2001.

Playing the world’s best: Duke junior Beth Bauer finished 38th at the LPGA Jamie Farr Classic July 9 in Sylvania, Ohio. Bauer entered the final round

tied for 11th, but a 77 on day four dropped her in the standings. She still the top amateur finisher was t i at the tournament. Bauer was the No. 1 player for the Blue Devils’ women’s golf team and she was in con’

tention for the individual national championship before struggling in the final round at Sunriver, Ore., last May. Although Bauer has not made a final decision, she is expected to tell women’s golf coach Dan Brooks within the next two weeks whether she will return for her junior season.

Staying put: Months after rumors swirled that Ali Curtis might leave Duke for the professional ranks, the 1999 Hermann Trophy recipient said he will be back to lead the Blue Devils in 2000. Curtis said he is very exciting for the upcoming season and that his two primary goals—to win a soccer national championship and earn his Duke degree—influenced his decision to return. After tallying 17 goals last season, Curtis equalled Duke’s all-time, single-season scoring record. He captured 114 points in the voting to edge Indiana’s Nick Garcia and become the first Blue Devil to claim the Hermann Trophy, awarded to the nation’s best player, since 1986.

Luck of the Irish: Following the departure of basketball coach Matt Doherty from Notre Dame to North Carolina, the Irish filled their vacancy with former Duke assistant Mike Brey. “What a perfect fit!” Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. “Mike has the background which is totally suited for the level of success that Notre Dame wants and deserves. He and his family will be absolutely terrific in representing Notre Dame. I’m so happy for all of them.” Brey takes over a team that had its most promising season in years under Doherty in 2000.

A new era begins for Duke track: In a move that couldn’t have happened any other way, Duke hired Norm Ogilvie to fill the void created by former director of track A1 Buehler’s retirement. Buehler coached cross country and track at Duke for 45 years before stepping down after the NCAA Championships concluded in early June. Ogilvie arrived at Duke in 1991 as an assistant track coach and was then promoted to associate track and field coach in 1997. “There have only been two previous head track and field coaches at Duke,” Ogilvie said in a statement. ‘The opportunity to be the third is a great honor. With the fine staff we have assembled I am sure that we will continue the tradition that my two predecessors have established.”

On the move: When commissioner David Stern stepped up to the podium minutes after the 18th pick in the 2000 NBA draft, Duke fans had one name on their mind; Chris Carrawell. Instead, they heard a familiar name from the recent past. In a cost-cutting move, the Orlando Magic shipped Corey Maggette, two other players and cash to the Los Angeles Clippers for a future first round pick. One week later, the Magic used their extra space under the salary cap to acquire another former Blue Devil. After spending his first six NBA seasons with the Detroit Pistons, Grant Hill agreed to a multi-year contract with the Magic that will pay him the league maximum for free agents.

the most important thing—my players. My mentors taught me that loyalty is the most important thing. That was the decision, I couldn’t leave my players.” Williams’ announcement, which came the same day as two published reports detailing his alleged acceptance of the UNC coaching job, stunned Tar Heel fans

and left a reeling athletic department in search ofPlan B. “[Williams] was our first choice; he had unanimous support,” a despondent Baddour said after news broke from Lawrence. “But we don’t feel desperate at all. Certainly we had B, C and D plans.” When options B through D made the same choice as Williams, however, desperation to keep the Smith basketball family tree intact became evident as the athletic department moved swiftly to cover its wounds. Soon the job was offered to 38-year-old Doherty, and it took little time for him to be tabbed as a slightly older version of the young Dean Smith who took over the North Carolina program in 1961. But even this parallel couldn’t erase the one very obvious contrast between the new coach and the four candidates who chose not to return to their roots. Perhaps, it can best be noted by their combined 2,157 career victories as head coaches in the NBA and college basketball. “Just to be mentioned in the same breath with Roy Williams, Eddie Fogler, George Karl and Larry Brown is very humbling,” Doherty said. “I have not done what those men have done.” Still, Doherty was greeted in Chapel Hill by joyful tears, smiles, congratulations, even Williams’ blessing—one big, happy family with Guthridge and the patriarch, Smith himself, in attendance nodding their silent approval. It was important, as everyone said, that the family’s unity and the program’s heritage remain untampered. “I just wanted someone who had played here or coached here to get the

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS were a little too quick with the trigger in announcing Roy Williams’ acceptance of the vacant Tar Heel coaching job. job, because it’s a special place,” Doherty said. “I don’t think someone from the outside would understand what it means to have played here. I don’t think they would understand the effort it takes to maintain the ties with the former players.” But that’s when a peculiar thing happened to the family that outsiders couldn’t be a part of. Three men, all of whom played for Smith and have been loyal assistants to the program in recent years, , were dismissed as Doherty’s crew from Notre Dame came with him to UNC. “It’s tough to see them go, but our friendships, our relationships go further than the basketball court,” Tar Heel junior Jason Capel said. “That’s not going

to change. We have to get used to four new faces. We have to, we have no choice.” It was as if there had been a death in the family. ‘There’s a celebration and there’s a funeral,” Smith said. ‘That just kills me.” Phil Ford, Dave Banners and Pat Sullivan—three coaches with 26 combined years of coaching experience as assistants at UNC—were gone. One of them played in three Final Fours wearing Carolina blue, another still stands as the program’s all-time leading scorer. All of them turned away at the request of Doherty, who hasn’t served the Tar Heel program since he graduated from North Carolina 16 years ago. A coach who was hired because he could keep the tradition in the family.

A Note from the Editor We managed to make a pretty cool magazine last year with two editorsin-chief. Nothing was more fun for me than watching the quirky creative visions of editors Tim Millington and Kevin Pride collide in a magazine that was consistently great looking, readable and—usually—funny. While I'm the only editor-in-chief this year, I'm far from alone at the helm. We've got the largest, most dynamic staff in our magazine's short history, with a dizzying array of perspectives and a fresh outlook. Writing entertainment is a challenge because no two people are entertained in exactly the same way. Your job is not only to convince people to like what you like, but to provide commentary, perspective and information about what they already like. And for that, the more minds at work, the better. Our challenge this year is not just to make a strong magazine, but to make a strong magazine stronger. I think this issue gets us off to a great start, and hope you agree. MP3 and Napster have been the big story in entertainment this summer. But while hordes of pundits and proselytizers have had a lot to say about it, they've largely ignored our perspective —the college students who are the main users of MP3 technology. Freshmen, get ready —if you're like most of us, you're about to get a whole lot more

As with our Taste section last year, we hope Vision helps to broaden our appeal, and give you some new ideas about what to watch—and our thoughts about what you're already watching. Recess couldn't be as special to all of us if it weren't for the unbelievable support we've gotten from our readers. From the e-mails (positive and negative) to comments to each of us around campus to watching people avidly not-pay-attention in Friday lectures, we've gotten an overwhelming amount of input. We know you're reading—and we appreciate it. Before I go, I'd like to thank my staff for putting such incredible energy and time into this issue. You made this first issue a lot of fun to make. And to Tim, Kevin, Norbert, Angela and everyone else inside of The Chronicle and out who has supported the magazine—you are my inspiration. We want to keep you informed on entertainment in a smart, snappy but lighthearted way this year. This is a Duke magazine—it's your needs we're trying to meet, and we want to hear from you, both good and bad, about how we're doing at it. So keep us posted, okay?

Thanks, Jonas Blank

THE

Representin' JLB The new editor of Hecess is more than just a pretty face. He's also a famous name. Once upon a time, Jonas Blank was just a lowly Internet tape trader. He did not even have the degree of notoriety that comes from being Recess music editor and sparring with such scurvy foes as Dave Matthews and Trent Reznor. But his catchy moniker caught the eye of Phil Kretschman, an aspiring record executive who assumed it was a trendy hacker pseudonym, like Phyber Optik. Through his admiration was born the label Jonas Blank Records. When we found out that Jonas' name was attached to a record company, we secretly hoped for a label with some real Recess chutzpah—perhaps its logo would be a hooded music editor grimacing in an electric chair, Death Row style. Maybe Phil Kretschman would ride through the streets of New Orleans in a solidgold tank studded with jewels. Or maybe a 17year old musician would declare over and over that "JLB will make you drop it like it's hot." Musically, though, Jonas Blank Records serves up melancholy fuzz pop and experimental noise records; its stable of artists includes I obscure bands like Reizoko and Loki & the j Improbable Solution. The label's single-sided vinyls have small production runs and the packaging is aesthetically intriguing—the handsewn construction paper sleeve of Reizoko's T'Nance & Tricky Ricky belongs in either a hippie commune or an upscale New York boutique. It's certainly not Bad Boy or Uzi Suicide. And just getting a label named after you is pretty impressive, even if NBA superstars don't floss in platinum necklaces featuring the Jonas Blank Records logo. Sean "Puffy" Coombs doesn't have a label named after him. Neither does George Martin, the legendary producer behind the Beatles, or Col. Tom Parker, the man who steered Elvis to greatness. Of course, at this point / -f / Jonas doesn't exactly have an active label that bears his name. Kretschman reports that Jonas Blank Records is "hibernating" right now. At least the real Jonas Blank is still conscious. —By Tim ~

SANDBOX Welcome back the equal opportunity dispensers of mockery and' >ro*rna:.on

NEW SHAFT, OLD SHAFT It's a new millennium, and we're a long way from 1971 —or are we? This summer, Paramount Studios managed to resurrect yet another relic of the era of skyrocketing gas prices and a scandal-plagued presidency. Shaft, like Santana, is still trying to be the manjn 2000. But the question, has he gotten better with age? Recess sees how the two Shafts stack up.

"��A SEX MACHINE TO ALL THE CHICKS**/' Shaft2K approaches sex like a chore. He talks about it, but never actually gets around to any on-screen action other than the disappointingly suggestive opening scene. To quote the man himself; "It's my duty to please that booty." The original Shaft loves to get it on. He handles more ass than a butcher cutting rump steak.

the nod: Old Shaft. He’d never spend 2 hours onscreen with Vanessa

mp J*

Williams without making a move.

"WHO'S THE MAN WHO'LL RISK HIS NECK FOR HIS BROTHER-MAN!” The original Shaft was a revolution in Hollywood's portrayal of minorities. He was a black superhero who took care of business on his own terms. The film also earned the first African-American artist —Isaac Hayes—an Oscar. New Shaft spends even more time bent out of shape about racism, and righfully so—every cracker in the flick is a bigot. Of course, nobody bothered to apply this sensitivity standard for Hispanics, who are mocked relentlessly through the overdone character of Peoples. '"TM

THE NOD!

Peoples. If anyone in these movies is really a victim of racism, it's this two-dimensional stereotype. He also stabs himself repeatedly with an icepick after his brother is killed. Now that's brotherly love.

o®

"THEY SAY THAT CAT SHAFTS ONE BAD MUTHA**/' New Shaft is a bona-fide ass-kicker. He beats the crap out of nearly everybody in the movie. For instance, a mom doesn't want her kid dealing drugs, so Shaft obligingly beats the piss out of the local drug dealer. Seems that in New York, even former cops can brutalize random strangers! Old Shaft can hold his own, no doubt.

•

THE nod: New Shaft, obviously. If there's one thing he knows besides clothes, it's how to beat somebody within an inch of their life —or kill them, for that matter. '

MUSIC I W

Paul Van Dyk’s Out There and Back mixes his U.K. trance pedigree with the blockrockin’ sound that’s popular stateside. By Kelly McVicker

Out There and Back, Paul Van Dyk finally seems to have figured out the evasive balance between the hardcore and the candy-coated, bringing us brilliant tracks that deliver haunting vocals and melodies without skimping on trance sounds and beats. The album strikes a blissful deal between Van Dyk's trance pedigree GRADE: anc * t *ie more voca a nd melody-based dance music that has become popular stateside with the help of Brits like Moby, Fatboy Slim and the Chemical Brothers. While this may sound like more market propaganda used to add one more category to the already burgeoning list of genre labels, it's not. This is what the future of techno sounds like. It seems like many DJs are finally finding away to meld the proverbial schism that has risen up through the cracks of that big umbrella we call techno ever since the varying styles began to take the music in different directions. Fusion seems to be the magic word for Van Dyk—he joins emotion and rhythm together in song after song. Out There and Back begins with a track called "Vega," which is all about ascension, like a slow, deliberate rise onto the mothership. Everything about the track, from the vocals to the organs, gives the sensation of being lifted into somewhere not quite terrestrial. The next track, "Pikes," was written in a hotel room on the '

island (and dance music mecca) of Ibiza, giving it an ethereal, breezy feel that evokes images of the environment of its creation. YOU DONT KNOW HIM, BUT HE'S GOT GREAT CHEEKBONES: Paul Van Dyk is a Other tracks like famous U.K. trance DJ. That's why you might not recognize him. Now you do. "Columbia" and "Tell Me Why (The Riddle)" are as energetic and explosive as they come This album is a great compromise for those who are missing out on the club scene this summer and want to get that club-fresh feeling in the comfort of their own homes. The disc is hard enough to induce an all-out dance frenzy under the strobe lights, yet smooth enough to keep you company as you relax far away from the neon glow. Perhaps the best feature of the CD is the way it flows from track to track. As one sound gives way to another, strong bass lines and breathless, dreamy vocals —mostly sung by Van Dyk's wife Natasha—give the transitions a comfortable fluidity. But continuity does not translate into monotony —the tracks retain separate identities as they rise and swell into one another. The progressions are not unlike those of a book of short fiction: each chapter tells a separate story, yet each story gains more significance in the context of the other tales surrounding it. The result is an artfully constructed album that can make you feel transported in or out of the club. You don't need to be a club-savvy gatecrasher to appreciate this album's fluidity and power—but then again, maybe it wouldn't hurt.D

Sayonara, Sam Goody Once upon a time, those of us who didn't live near big cities or trendy college towns relied on the local mall to buy music. In exchange for an outrageous sum of money, we were given a selection of around 20 CDs and a bargain bin full of old Foreigner albums. For the rare times when we wanted a CD not found on the Billboard charts, we were at the mercy of the surly sales staff to make a special order. Oh, how the Internet has freed us from our shackles! Now, anything is available, anytime, for a substantially lower price than the mall stores. The most challenging aspect is sorting through the options. For buying common compact discs, big can be better. Both CDNow.com and amazon.com have a huge selection of domestic and import titles at affordable prices—perfect for everything from sale-priced Busta Rhymes to the French technojazz hipster Saint Germain. If you're looking for something too rare for the big sites, try midheaven.com, where they're not afraid to pepper their site with the f-bomb. Also check out parasol.com and insound.com, both well-known independent

music specialists. If you want a song, but not a whole CD, some sites allow you to make custom combos from pre-set selections. You'll rarely achieve the sort of musical bliss of the Napster-CDR combo, though. CDNow's $lB-20 custom CD option offers unmemorable song pools like the Black Music Collection, which features "Bust a Move" by Young M.C. alongside B. B. King's "Recession Blues." Slightly better is ezod.com, though it's still not worth the price.

Record corporations are hoping to replace Napster with pay-per-download sites like icrunch.com that let you download MP3s for around $1.70 each. The selection is wide enough to include trance artist BT and the new album from Femi Kuti, making it almost worthwhile to shell out a few coins in order to find a rare track or download from a fast, reliable source. Another site, emusic.com, offers a fairly sizable roster of acts and labels, including many lesser-known indie imprints that never make it to Napsterland. We're clearly better off than we were when we couldn't get good CDs because Paula Abdul took up all the shelf room at Sam Goody's. If you can't bear the shortcomings of the Internet music scene, perhaps you should download some techno software from fruityNOT OUR GIRL FOREVER: Thanks to the loops.com, where you can make some good Internet, you may never have to see a music of your own—and then charge your Paula Abdul CD again. roommate to download it. —By Robert Kelley � * 11! i -i7i o* l \•tr*�** n i"i y< vv \Vi\v> ■ *

Matchbox Twenty Despite their inexplicable name change, Matchbox "Twenty" keep riding the gravy train that made Yourself Or Someone Like You such a success.

a/ Summer Is e, lame, Lame By Beth lams

THANK GOD FOR THAT STRATEGICALLY PLACED HAND: Sisqo hosts a booty-shakin' Gr/ntf-wannabe show on MTV this summer. Judging by this photo, the hip-hop star is planning on showing the most booty of anybody.

the space between the MTV Movie Awards in June and the Video awards in September, "summer" overtakes MTVland, leaving three months for viewers and VJs alike to kick back and relax. And what's a better place to set up summertime MTV-style than in Southern California. Umm, right dude? MTV has the summer formula down, from the meticulously styled San Diego shore studio to skaters-on-the-boardwalk station tags. They have the sandy beach, the ocean backdrop, and even the sun shows up once in awhile. Supertrendy new programs? Check. Girls in bikinis? Check. Just one slight problem with this summer insta-mix: it's about chill as Durham in July. For one thing, the VJs are annoyingly caffeinated —you gotta be hopped up on something in order to talk 4000 words a minute without pause. There are also pieces of the screen moving at all times, videos or whatnot—it's frighteningly frenetic as it tries to be free-flowing. This is nothing new; MTV is ever-increasingly processed and smugly self-congratulatory. But does the network really think So-Cal is So-Cool?

But hey, while kinda illegal, it's downright educational. Two big points learned; Mandy's friends think she can be kind of stuck up, and Mandy is not a "taco person." For an entire 30 minutes, she whined about how scared she was to eat a taco. She asked to "fake" eat it, and then smoothly spit out the bite she cried through. wish were kidding. Hot Zone At least they played a relatively eclectic set of mainstream hits (Macy Gray, Blink 182, Next). But VJ Ananda's constant chatter spoils out any "bangin' on the beach" vibe whatsoever. As for the word-association game and favorite action movie segment? Lame, lame, lame. Sisqo's Shakedown If dancers are good (no, if they're HOT!) spray an "S" on their stomachs! If they don't make the cut, spray an "X!" All this tiresome tripe needs is an "E"—for enough already. Sadly, this show just doesn't measure up to The Grind. This is a shake-your-booty show, hosted by noneother than Mr. Booty himself, Sisqo. heard his full name is Mr. Bootywhack, but they shortened it to match how long his MTV career will be. And the shorter the better for this joker. Say What Karaoke Here's your chance to watch a bunch of jackasses do karaoke on a beach, with celebrity judges like Busta Rhymes, B Real and Bijou Philips Watching other people do karaoke is annoying even when you're drunk;

It's nearing self-satire status. What is new are the levels of inanity reached by the "new" summer shows. At least they air in the morning, when most of us are either at work or asleep. In fact, you've probably never see these so-called shows. But Recess made me watch (I swear) so here's a rundown of some of the stuff you've been not-missing: Mandy

when you're at home sober watching MTV people do it, it's excruciating. So if you want to maximize your MTV summer break experience, I’ve got only one suggestion: sleep through it. □

It’s hard to believe, but every year has its Battlefield Earth. Remember these? So far, this movie season has been depr ingly respectable—there's only been one box-office bomb worthy of total scorn am derision. And fittingly, it's based on a bo< by a kooky Hollywood cultist—and it stai one, too. Battlefield Earth, John Travolta' galactic fiasco based on the novel by Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, clearly ranks as the year's mos implosive critical and commercial bomb. We decided we'd pay tribute to B.E. by compiling our very own list of unforgettable hot-weather turkeys from summers past The Avengers (August 1998; jet/gross: $6O million/$25 ion) In this absolutely incoent travesty of the '6os )er series, Ralph Fiennes and ma Thurman very nearly dis' more pleasant memories . The English Patient and Pulp Fiction. As an ersatz John Steed and Emma Peel, ;he stars spend most of the movie trading languid banter with Sean Connery, playing half-badly) meteorological manipulator Sir August de Wynter. The scattershot plot manages to incorporate a Peel doppelganger, mechanical wasps, a teddy bear convention and Eddie Izzard as a menacing androgyne. Low point: Fiennes and Thurman ford a river in translucent globes. It doesn't make any more sense on the screen. Immortal dialogue: Cackles the sinister Sir August, plotting his imperial regime, "Rain or shine, it's all mine!'' Best critical potshot: "I can't remember another Friday morning show where I heard actual cries 'Ugh!' on the way out the door." (Janet Maslin, The New York Times) Worth wat ing if: You're convinced Ralph Fiennes ca' no wrong. .

'ze (Arnold

iger) and

nymphomaniacal botanist Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman, who didn't learn from this experience and proceeded to make The Avengers). Wildly n/erproduced and packed to le gills with lame quips, the •urth Bat-film effectively killed 'arner Bros' most lucrative franise and managed to seriously iair the careers of ;warzenegger, Thurman, director Joel Schumacher, and co-stars Alicia Silverstone (Batgirl) and Chris O'Donnell (Robin). Holy debacle, Batman! Low point: Thurman, wearing a gorilla suit, sways sensually atop a parapet. I said, Thurman, clad in a gorilla suit, sways sensually atop a parapet. Immortal dialogue: "You're not sending me to the cooler!" Or, "The Iceman cometh!" Or, "Tonight, Hell freezes over!" Best critical potshot: "Batman No More would be much more fitting." (Joe Baltahe, Sacramento Bee ) Worth watching if: You

still aren't convinced of the Law of Diminishing Sequel Quality (see Alien, Superman, Jaws). The Island of Dr. Moreau (August 1996; budget/gross: $6O million/$27 million) Few bigbudget films have ever wallowed so zealously in grotesquerie.The third screen adaptation o' H. G. Wells' 1896 cautionary novel feaes a mincingly camp turn by larlon Brando in the titular role (i.e r. Moreau, not the island), but hat's the least of this film's problems. John Frankenheimer, a director capable of tightly wound thrillers (Ronin), badly mishandles the action sequences; >

Stan Winston's creature effects are more odious than convincing, and a miscast David Thewlis barely registers as Edward Douglas, a UN ambasmarooned on the island where Moreau and his assistant Montgomery (Val Kilmer) breed hirsute "humanimals." Douglas witnesses a grisly mutant birth, sympathizes with a resistance movement, and finally flees from a pyrotechnic revolt. Moreau is genuinely appalling, and a permanent fixture in the pantheon of Val Kilmer disasters. Low point: Moreau and his sidekick play "Rhapsody in Blue" on a double-tiered piano. Immortal dialogue: "I have seen

'he Patriot

The Perfect Storm defies the odds: It’s a natural disaster film that works

The Perfect Storm is mostly sound and fury, it signifies a good deal more B+ than should be reasonably expected from an effects-fueled summer thriller. Adapted from Sebastian Junger's 1997 novel, the film chronicles the high weather and higher tragedy encountered by the crew of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat which, in the autumn of 1991, found itself at sea during the maritime convergence of three fearsome squalls. In recent years, the cinematic depiction of natural phenomena has yielded a bevy of stilted failures (Twister, Volcano, ad nauseam) which gleefully indulge in CGI wizardry at the expense of human conflict. The Perfect Storm, by contrast, is the first disaster movie -03, spectacuare, compleather than suble the drama at the story's vibrant heart. The doomed

a host of iconic types like Mark Wahlberg, who is surprisingly strong as an idealistic rookie. In a comparatively undernourished but no less visceral subplot, a trio of pleasure boaters finds their cruise menaced by the gale. While

this scenario clearly exists to leaven the grimness of the Andrea Gail's ordeal, it does allow director Wolfgang Petersen to stage a prolonged, riveting helicopter rescue. This entire project marks a welcome return to form for Petersen, whose last effort—the crudely jingoistic Air Force One—epitomized sleek prefab nihilism. With The Perfect Storm, he has re-identified the humanity that propelled Das Boot and, to a lesser degree, In the Line of Fire. Petersen is the rare action director able to elicit strong performances from his casts, nowhere more consistently, perhaps, than in this film. These spirited, pitch-perfeet actors suffuse their characters with utterly convincing nuance. Particularly fine among the ensemble are Diane Lane, vulnerable and earnest as Wahlberg's landlubbing beloved, and the luminous Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, a splendid actress too rarely seen in recent years. The Perfect Storm is impeccably played throughout (a few bathetic newsroom scenes notwithstandjn g) and its first half-hour establishes an authentic

dramatic milieu. Still, the movie falls a touch short of the perfection its title augurs. Petersen and editor Richard Francis Bruce never establish a discernible temporal trajectory—we're unable to register the passage of time (which, is difficult to convey amid an apocalyptic tempest). This ambiguity lends the film a biblical timelessness, to an extent, but it also undermines the drama unfolding among the anxious folk back on land. How long has the Andrea Gail been at sea? How many days have Lane et aI held their collective breath? Another debit; James Horner's tame, rote score, which contributes an unnecessary and inapt dimension of generic heroism. But a quibble like this withers in the face of such electrifying technical mastery: The Perfect Storm's seamlessly incorporated special effects burnish the drama in exhilarating, unobtrusive fashion—the climactic breaker, in particular, inspires bottomless, primal dread. Rarely have sound and fury been harnessed so effectively to accessible emotion.

Welcome to the latest edition of the

Superhero Movie Franchise. I do mean franchise, because judging by the anticlimactic

ending of X-Men, there will be many, many more

episodes featuring this mutant bunch. Not that that’s anything to complain about. As long as it doesn’t follow the fruitless flapping of the now defunct Batman series, X-Men could prove to be in for an entertaining haul. What makes a superhero movie better than others? Well, first you must concede that like the comic books, they're all going to sport a hare-brained plot, with some too-serious supreme villain hatching a complicated plan to take over the world. The dialogue is tough and stilted, and if you're looking for any sort of characterization, I suggest the nearest art-house cinema.

Which leaves us to be thrilled by watching what superheroes do best: fighting evil using weirdo powers and even a few funny one-liners. There's plenty of mesmerizing weirdo powers here battling for your attention Magneto (lan McKellen) manipulates magnetic fields. •Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) can invade and control minds from his wheelchair. Storm (Halle Berry) whips up fearsome weather patterns while Wolverine sports wicked sideburns and retractable claw-blades. And on and on! It's special effects we want to see in superhero flicks, and X-Men delivers an extravaganza of noise and slick visuals. It's no battle of master thespians even with Shakespeariens Stewart and McKelian lending their brainy dramatic forces in what may have been a casting attempt at adding some theatrical levity. Theatrical levity aside, we'll settle for levitation—and laserbeams, shape-shifters and attack toads. X-Men is fun, punchy and entertaining. Sometimes you just have to skip the Shakespeare and revel in a raucous barrage of mindlessness. —By Angela Fernandes —

Former Recess Film Editor Angela Fernandes recently caught up with Toby Emmerich, who is the President of Music for New Line Cinema and the producer/screenwriter of the recent sci-fi thriller Frequency. Even though he proved to be a little saucy Angela kept him In check. Read on. What do you do as the music executive for New Line Cinema? My department puts together soundtracks for movies and helps directors track down composers to write and orchestrate scores for our films, as well as recording locations. Name some of the recent soundtracks you've helped put together. The Austin Powers movies, Friday, Next Friday, Menace II Society... What do you think about the trends in pop music right now, with the dancing blonde tarts and Latin men and boy bands all over the place? Well, think musical trends go in cycles, and right now we're in the phase of the boys bands and all that. Most of the time, it's not even about the music, it's about marketing a package. It's not so much about the artist as it is a cool image. I mean, going back to the 'Bos, you had all those hair bands, like Bon Jovi and Poison, and then they just disappeared.... The music that lasts is going to be the music that's good, that's about the artist and not so much the package. The trendy music now, some of those people are talented and some of them aren't. Where did you work before you joined New Line? I was at Atlantic Records. 1 was an A&R guy—artist and repertoire. It was basically talent scouting. Any famous people you discovered when you were there? No, not really. Well, I did find Mariah Carey, but apparently that wasn't her time to be discovered. It was the late

Frequ Toby?

80's, and well, it just wasn't the time for her. How did you get into the entertainment industry? I met the guy who founded Atlantic Records at a party when I was in college, and he seemed to have been impressed with my knowledge of music, so he contacted me. I let him read my thesis. What was your thesis on? Bruce Springsteen, Sam Shepard and Martin Scorcese. That sounds like a pretty wacky thesis. Where did you go to school? Wesleyan. I majored in English, Film and Classical Music. What's the value of a high caliber college degree in Hollywood, where so many people who didn't graduate from high school are making movies? I think people ar.e only going to be impressed if they find out you went to Harvard. That's what people perceive to the best, so if it's anything other than that... it doesn't matter. 1 don't think anyone in this industry is going to be impressed by your college degree, because look, there are so many people with all sorts of life experiences, talents. Artistry and imagination don't necessarily require a higher education. Look at Leonardo DaVinci and so many other geniuses who have contributed to society...l think Spike Jonze [director of Being John Malkovlch] is doing great work, and he didn't go to college. Are you currently working on a screenplay? Yes, I'm writing a buddy comedy with my brother (actor Noah Emmerich) called Schnitzel and Grits, but I'm not going to tell you what it's about. I'm also working on writing a futuristic sci-fi western. I hope it's nothing like last year's WildWild West. I didn't get a chance to see it. Was it bad? Oh yes, quite. Is it difficult to concentrate on your writing as a full time music exec? Yes, especially when 1 have to do an interview. Sorry. Where do you get your ideas for screenplays? When I'm out jogging. love to jog. Or when I'm on vacation. It's when you're not thinking about anything -that the ideas come to you. Would you work again with Gregory Hoblit? [director of Frequency. Fallen, Primal Feat] Sure. I was very happy with how Frequency turned out. He's a pretty good director. I'lll be sure to tell him you said that. Umm, thanks.

The

MP3 boom isn't new. Thanks to our ultra-fast network connections, we've been enjoying MP3s at Duke for over three years. Nowadays, many of us don't even bother to bring stereos, since most of our music is on computers anyway. We're on the right side of the much-lamented "digital divide." We are not workaday America —we're on the cutting edge. So if corporations—especially media corporations—want to understand the consumers of the future, they'd better start trying to understand us. Record companies have never liked MP3 trading. In 1999, Devilnet was forced to divest itself of its fledgling search engine at the

advice of lawyers for The Chronicle, where the Devilnet server resided. There probably wasn't a great risk then, but there had been some arrests at other universities, so it was better to play it safe. After all, MP3s were still fairly hard to get, and anything that made them easier to find might draw the attention of some very worried record companies. Napster's arrival last year threw the doors wide open on MP3 trading. No longer were

Recordable machines and cheap CD-R media at below a buck a disc, the situation threw record companies, record store owners and some artists into a panic, prompting lawsuits by both Metallica and Dr. Dre against the fledgling Napster corporation. With a decision possible as early as next month, the days of Napster may be drawing to a close. But what Napster has done can't be so easily eradicated —the promise of cheap digital music will remain, in some form, for as long as the Internet and fast connections exists. Before the courts slay either Napster or the recording industry, Recess wanted to weigh in on this summer's biggest music controversy.

just bought a record player. Maybe I missed the elaborate packaging, large covers, limited editions and waxy sheen of virgin vinyl—along with its little pops and crackles. Maybe it was just nostalgia, but 1 like to think of it as my little rebellion —a pithy analog outcry against the digitized and super-soulless Napster culture. There are thousands of reasons to like Napster. If you could care less about the Cocktail soundtrack but can't get enough of "Kokomo," or if you're harboring a secret hankering for the new single by Sisqo, the song can be yours, free of the pesky $l5 price tag. If you hear about a new band and want to check them out, plug their name into Napster and voila! —try before you buy. So the theory goes, anyway. Access to new music is what's, supposed to be driving the Napster boom—or that's what the program's creators would like you to think. But is Napster really a vehicle for discovering new artists, or a tool for downloading stuff you already know? Napster operates via a search engine. That means you have to know either the name of the artist or the song you want in order to get it. Online retailers sell new music by directing you to artists who "sound like" the ones you're buying. That's not what Napster does. Napster can get you that obscure R.E.M. single you didn't know existed, but only if you tell it you want R.E.M. first. And, if you don't know what to look for, you're stuck with something else—the musical "product" proffered on MTV and mainstream radio. Corporate entertainment's music-selling model doesn't rely on artistic development but on gaining listener acceptance of single songs. Jive Records hopes you'll buy No Strings Attached to get "Bye Bye Bye," and Sony hopes you'll stomach the rest of Significant Other for the "Nookie." As long as you like one song enough to buy the whole album, these megacorps could care less what you think of the complete work. That's why Napster scares the hell out of record companies—it calls their bluff. You don't have to buy a crappy album anymore to get "that one song.” This is especially true of soundtracks and compilations—say

goodbye to buying Ml:2 to get the new Metallica single, which kicked off this latest MP3 debate. This sounds like a good deal —no more buying crappy music. But most of the music that gets ignored—the "other" songs on the CD—is from new, up-and-coming artists, many of whom don't get things exactly right the first time around. Their albums may be spotty, but they also might be too challenging and innovative to comprehend at first listen. In the world of pointclick-delete, a first listen may be all you get. Thus, the bands hurt most by Napster aren't established acts like Metallica and N'Sync that already have a large, stable fan base. A fair number of people prefer to buy their whole records rather than hassle with downloading the 12-15 songs on them. It's the Harvey Dangers and Weezers that take it the worst, worthwhile bands with one or two songs people have heard. Some may buy their albums, but most won't they'll get "that one song" and be on their way. You have to wonder how some of last decade's premier artists would have fared in Napsterland. Would Nirvana have become a cultural force if everyone had downloaded "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and moved on? It's hard to remember now, but Nevermind wasn't such an easy listen when it debuted in 1991. Singles-driven listening has hurt hip-hop for years—you can't understand 2Pac without hearing the seething anger of "Hit Em Up," but that song doesn't make most people's playlists. Where would Pavement be today, or Liz Phair or even a band like Korn? Without a raft of hit singles from MTV airplay, nobody would've known to search for them. Corporate greed, that most consummate of evils, has already sucked the life of mainstream music dry. Napster is merely the technology driving the nails in the coffin. The way we're consuming pop culture right now may be cheap, but that doesn't make it right or even all that cool. By buying into Napster and the singles-driven aesthetic on which it thrives, we're making music more mainstream, less innovative and less financially viable for artists. The solution can't come from record companies—it must come from us, the consumers. The good bands are out there, and the technology for discovering them is better than ever. For now, though, Napster isn't the solution —it's part of the problem. —

By Tim Millington If Orrin Hatch and Lars Ulrich unite on the same side of an issue, the rest of us should feel practically obliged to join the other camp. In Congressional hearings July 11, the prissy Utah senator (and amateur crooner) joined forces with the surly heavy-metal drummer to fire another broadside in the continuing war against Napster and other methods of distributing music on the Internet. It's a struggle that purports to be about creative integrity and the rights of struggling artists. It isn't. It's about depriving customers of choice, thwarting new technology and resisting threatening changes—the same behavior that made Microsoft an enemy of the state. There's no denying that MP3s are changing the way college students get their music. They're also changing the machines people use to listen to music—today's college student is more likely to need high-powered speakers for a computer than for a stereo. The question, though, is how MP3s will alter the way music is created and promoted. The real problem isn't that MP3s provide high-quality, electronically encoded music without the need to visit the local Tower Records. After all, in some big cities you've been able to get near-CD quality music delivered by cable radio for years, and that's had no noticeable effect. The actual threat posed,by MP3s is unfettered choice: the consumer's dream and the producer's nightmare. Customers have always embraced technology that allows them to hear the songs they like without suffering through the ones they can't stand. The music industry would prefer customers didn't have this choice, so that they have to pay $15.99 for Hooray for Boobies when all they really want is the damn mammal song. Artists, too, would prefer to prevent customers from choosing which songs they buy. What would Billy Corgan or Eddie Vedder do if they had to face the reality that most people would rather purchase only crowd-pleasing arena rockers and ignore the pretentious drivel that pads many a Smashing Pumpkins or Pearl Jam album? Even Billy Corgan is entitled to artistic expression, of course. But should CD-buyers have to fund it? The music industry must concede that its customers, like any others, are always right. Sure, these are the same customers that have made the Backstreet Boys and Puff Daddy fabulously wealthy, but they're still entitled to exer-

There are MP3 players the size of tie-pins, players that can record voice memos and even one shaped like a cassette tape that plays in a car stereo. But there's always the same limitation: space. With an average capacity of 32M8, most players hold a max of ten CD-quality songs. At the moment there are two options if you want a higher-capacity MP3-player: Either a player with a miniature hard drive or one that reads files off a CD. Recess took one player of each type for a test-spin.

Compressor Personal Jukebox The Compressor Personal Jukebox is built around a 6.4 gigabyte hard-drive, for about 80 hours of music. It's about the size of a scientific calculator, and shares some unfortunate design elements with one: There's none of the shiny plastic or colorful ritz of other high-end MP3 players. The highlight of its simple design is a large, eas' '-to-read display that provides abundant information about the track y r makes navigating among even 60 or more a! included software makes it easy to send file: between computer and player. It takes abou' 10 minutes to transmit a typical album. For the price, though, you practically could tote a computer; The product retails for a hefty 5749 (Inexplicably, the company also sells Compressors in sets of two for $1,398—His n' hers?). Even if you can afford it—and if any college students can, they're at Duke—you'll need theft insurance if you're going to use it on cam;

cise their own judgment. The question artists and the recording industry should be tackling isn't how to thwart Internet distribution of their music. They should be concentrating on exploiting the MP3 revolution; with abundant bandwidth and a larger inventory at its disposal, a site supported by the industry would attract users away from Napster. Between advertising and monthly subscription earnings—necessary to predict demand and keep countless users from clogging the site—this alternate Napster could generate revenue. But could the site turn a profit if its administrators also had to pay royalties to artists? The number of sites that charge a subscription for their services has grown steadily since the free-wheeling early '9os, but they're vulnerable to users who trade passwords over the Internet. To tackle that dilemma, Recess sought the advice of Robert Hansen, a security expert who helps administer several web sites through the company Silicon Alchemy. "It is so easy to track [unauthorized usage of a web site] that the few times I have actually pursued someone who has deliberately tried to hurt this system, I have essentially removed all the access that they had to everything on the Internet," Hansen said. For the site Hansen services, his work means the difference between hemorrhaging money and earning a buck or two. "If I had let things lay as they may, there is no way we could have stayed in business at a11.... Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in revenue would have been lost in downtime, and [at least! $lO,OOO more a month in bandwidth costs when we could stay up...," Hansen said. "Since was hired and implemented this security program, it has actually become profitable for us to operate." The mechanism for a secure, profitable means of distributing music on the Internet exists, and the popular demand for the service is deafening. The recording industry should listen to this mandate; Stop trying to smother Napster in the courts and concentrate on defeating it in the marketplace. And if allowing Lars Ulrich to express himself is so critical to our nation's creative discourse, let the National Endowment for the Arts fund his music.

Two new portables let you take more than a few of your MP3s with you. By Tim Millington

Portable MP3 Player You won't have to part with half a grand to get your hands on the creatively-named Portable MP3 Player from MP3Solutions.com that retails for $189.99. If it weren't for the discrete "MP3" printed on its case, you'd never know it wasn't a regular CD portable —it plays regular music CDs as well as MP3 files. The product has a steep learning curve: Its user's manual is largely incomprehensible, and the system for navigating among folders and subfolders on a CD is not intuitive. The FAQ on the company's web site makes things somewhat easier, though, and once you grow accustomed to the system it's surprisingly logical. You'll need your own software to make MP3s, along with access to a CD burner. One CD will hold about 12 hours of music, and the player will treat subdirectories on the disc as individual playlists so you don't have to worry about mixing up your ->y Spears and your Mandy Moore. ine of the biggest drawbacks of this unit is its display, which shows just a ick number and time.When song titles are on CDs waiting to be isplayed, it's frustrating not to be able to see them. Still, if you're interested in a no-frills, convenient product for a decent price and you want it now, it's hard to beat the Portable MP3 Player. If money is no object, the Compressor is a better choice. You'll have to decide for yourr whether the differences between these two istify a $550 price gap. And if you want still lower ’ more features... wait six months.

Chris Noth, formerly of Sex and the City and Law and Order, may step in for David Duchovny on "The X-Files" this season, After a drawn-out contract battle, Duchovny only signed for 11 episodes and may appear in less than that. Another name that's been tossed around; David Caruso, formerly of NYPD Blue. Slayer sidekick? The next season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will have a new character: a 14-year old girl named Dawn with dark psychic powers. She'll be a kind of younger sister/thorn-in-the-side to Buffy and develop a crush on Xander (Nicholas Brendon). Is the show trying to avoid the 90210aging syndrome by preparing for the eventual exit of Cellar? Casting news; NBC's new fall show Deadline will get some star power with the addition of several new cast members, including Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers) and Lily Taylor (High Fidelity). The show stars Oliver Platt as a Pulitzer Prizewinning newspaper columnist.

The WB’s Popular takes a candid look at fitting in. By Norbert Schiirer Last year, Thursday nights finally got a fresh alternative to TV viewers sick of the antics of their so-called "friends": the WB's Popular. The show added a new twist to the teen-drama format of its network neighbors ( Buffy, Dawson's Creek, etc.) and achieved an elevated level of sophistication, camp and surrealism. The show centers around two female trios vying for high-school popularity: one as social activists and newspaper editors, the other as cheerleaders and beauty queens. Popular, too smart to favor the Greenpeace Girl Scouts, plays against expectations; The leading geek (20-year-old Carly Pope) is often too whiny to garner sympathy, and the main cheerleader (27-year-old Leslie Bibb) is always having second thoughts. The distinctions, then, are refreshingly muddled. Popular addresses typical WB issues like sexuality, child-parent relations and body image, but tackles them with unusual frankness. In the episode, "Hope in a Jar," body images present a problem not only for the’inflatable bra-wearing, obsessively dieting girls, but for the guys as well: One of the male characters faints after wearing a mummy wrap slimmer throughout the episode. In "An Officer and a Gentleman," the boys are sent to a "sensitivity camp" for making lewd comments, but the girls end up there too for objectifying their male counterparts. Still silly, sure, but a bit more savvy. But even more important, Popular introduces Ally Mcßeal-esque surrealism to teen drama. In "Hope in a Jar," a magic scale appears in the girls' bathroom making promises to the young woman who loses the most weight. "Two Weddings and A Funeral," highlights the gimmicks shows employ in their season finales, providing a list of marriages, boy groups and natural disasters and checking them off onscreen as they occur. Popular hasn't exactly made a splash in the Nielsen ratings, but SOME GEEK!: This twentysomething actress plays a the show has gained a steady and loyal following of about three milhigh school newspaper geek in Popular. Sounds like lion viewers—kind of like Party of Five in its first season. If Popular it's not much closer to reality than Survivor. continues its candid portrayal of complex issues and maintains its visual quirkiness, it could gain an even bigger audience in the fall, when it moves to a better Friday-evening time slot. But until then, if you've missed this gang so far, summer is the time to join the Popular crowd.

I By Tim Perzyk

Networks have hit paydirt with shows like Survivor, but TV’s reality trend doesn’t ring true.

you haven't caught an episode of The Real World, Survivor, or one of the growing collection of reality-based programs by now, you're probably quarantined on the set of Big Brother. What started nine years ago with seven strangers in New York City was a Gen-X voyeur's dream'. What remains is a rising tide of commercialized melodrama fit for a public punch drunk on tribal councils and million-dollar questions. The Real World, MTV's first foray into fishbowl psychodrama, debuted in 1991 and quickly became a pop culture phenomenon. We laughed, we cried, we loved, we hated. But most important, we watched. Despite The Real World's success, copycats were slow in coming. MTV's own extreme-challenge follow-up, Road Rules, debuted the next year, but the gun-barrel antics of Cops and America's Most Wanted remained the series' only "true TV" contemporaries. The major broadcast nets, ABC, NBC and CBS, passed on similar projects, deeming the cable-ready exploits of The Real World too risque for primetime fare. So what happened? Blame it on bad programming, splintered viewership, or the looming behemoth once called "The Information Superhighway," but broadcast TV faltered. Ratings plummeted as the ranks of Seinfeld grew thinner, and new hits like ER and The X-Files wound up on the endangered species list. Enter Regis. As American TV execs looked east for inspiration, (No, not Mecca. Think Britain.) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? burst into our living rooms. With its aging but amiable host, futuristic set, and hefty payoff motivating contestants, Millionaire was an instant smash, pumping life, viewers and ad revenue back into primetime. What differentiated Millionaire from Jeopardyand company was its humanity. We met contestants' families, heard their stories, and watched them struggle through their greenback journeys and trivial pursuits. Players "talked it through" with Regis as viewers participated online.. Millionaire's cunning genesis appeared all too innocent, and

America took the bait. But in time, the routine has grown tired,

HEY! ITS NOT JUST SNAKES YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR: This guy, Joel Klug, got tossed off the Survivor island in week six.

the questions easier and the contestants' idle banter all too scripted. Nearly a year after its American debut, Millionaire is about as stale as Regis's one-liners. And its knockoffs, Greed and Twenty One, also managed to flop in their kitty litter.

This sumiTh Real World an Rules are bad by the halo eJ press and the ty programm l help noticing changed.The grew up on t they are now heightened s< belied by thei friendly smiles did" interview Perhaps reali ing actors ou And then t, all-new Survivor A GRIM REALITY: This old guy is trying to make Viagra out of a coconut. and its CBS comrade Big Brother. As the most-watched summer series on record, Survivor is a bona fide television juggernaut. The stakes are higher than either Millionaire or Road Rules, but the hook is dangling from the same pole. In a post-Darwinian twist on natural selection, contestants determine their fates on the merits of physical prowess and interpersonal skills. It's Lord of the Flies for the child in all of us. With Big Brother, the underlying trend intensifies. With a 1984 angle and another chunk of green on the line, ten contestants endure a three-month stay in a cookie-cutter suburban cell located on the lots of CBS Studios. This time, the audience picks the finalist, but arguably, the true "winner" might be the reject from week one. The term "exploitation" does Survivor and Big Brother little justice. Neither does "voyeuristic" and "contrived." The Big Brother cast is a perfect slice of American demographic pie, ripe with a stripper and an undergrad playboy sure to provide a fair share of nocturnal mayhem. And like The Real World before them, both shows serve up a packaged, scintillating dose of heavilyedited "reality." Arguably, the end product is far more faux than any evening of Friends or Everybody Loves Raymond. As many have noted, the popularity of these shows says something about us as viewers. In an e-world with vanishing privacy, are we obsessed with full disclosure? Do we watch to see losers ousted or to revel as "survivors" succeed? What exactly are we so excited about? Regardless of why we're watching, the fact remains that reality TV isn't doing much to enrich the American TV diet. As with other trends, like the talk-show craze of daytime and the newsmag rush of the mid-'9os, the mighty are sure to fall. But one thing is certain: We'll be watching them all the way down. □

Fifteen Duke students traveled to Maine this year to start their own Shakespeare company. This is a diary of Associate Recess Arts Editor Faran Krentcil’s experience as an actor in the company. May 23. Welcome to the Camden Shakespeare Company, a three-month adventure for 16 Duke students assembled in a seaside New England town. For the next nine weeks, we will cook together, clean together, dream together—and hopefully build a theatre company that will fill the 500-seat Camden Opera House for twenty-five performances. Four recent Duke grads—Eamonn Farrell, Jim Sink, Andrea Davey and Melanie Moyer—cooked up this summer scheme over their senior spring break. Eamonn is directing A Midsummer Night's Dream and Othello] Melanie, formerly of Hoof 'N Horn, is our business manager. Jim, the former artistic director of Brown and GreenTheatre, got us our ninebedroom summer home and a huge amount of community support. Andrea brings extensive experience with Duke dance and theater to Maine to be our choreographer (and Othello's Desdemona). We arrive like contestants on "Big Brother," unloading our bags, claiming beds, getting roommates, loading the fridge—and then realizing that this was for real. With no safety net, in an unfamiliar state, we have just a few weeks to assemble a three-show Shakespeare season. June 1. Our show starts in less than a month, and we are working like machines. We have to do our own directing, acting, managing, publicizing, bookkeeping. fundraising and maintenance, not to mention the domestic chores of a family of sixteen. And the dishwasher's broken. Promotion and advertising are hectic: We set up a website and cajole local businesses to buy ads in our programs. We tack business cards everywhere. We whip up fliers, brochures and table tents, and call area newspapers. To stay afloat, we must raise $30,000 by the end of the summer. June 15. These are our current tasks: live on less than $lOO a week, cook for 16 people every night, memorize a scene a day, rehearse

for eight hours straight, survive Maine's erratic temperatures, sing along to Lynyrd Skynyrd, convince companies to sponsor our show, work the local newspapers, sew, not break dishes in fights over who gets to wash them and make a donkey's head out of foam June 23. On opening night for A Midsummer Night's Dream, we have a crowd of about 70 people. The show, our first, is full of dancing, music and energy. Everyone whips across the stage and the company shines {especially the fairies, in glitter gel and sparkle makeup). The reviews are fabulous; the attendance figures are not. We need more people and we know it. We start hitting the streets in costume and set up a ticket table in the middle of Camden, hoping to lure townies and tourists.

July 4. Happy Independence Day! We barbecue and hold sparklers off the porch. There is a meeting about finances; basically, we have none. We talk about options, agree to take pay cuts if necessary, and proceed as normal. Tensions in the house are rising. After an hour of held breath and steady venting, we go back to work. We start building the Othello set. Eamonn has decided to set the tragedy in the 19205, so we try on fringe and attempt the Charleston. This should be interesting. July 6. Aaron Snook, a '9B Duke grad who works in LA and I teach a

Shakespeare workshop at the library. Over thirty kids, aged nine to nineteen, come and dish about Big Willy and his work. Six kids end up in the amphitheatre, screaming Shakespeare to the heavens, and everyone leaves knowing that "ass" is simply another word for AVON LADY: If Shakespeare were an actor in the Camden Shakespeare donkey. It's amazing to see kids disCompany, he might look like this. cover Shakespeare, and even more impressive to listen to them play with the text in ways I never considered. June 25. We perform a free show in the Camden Amphitheatre, a green courtyard July 7. We run through Othello for the first time across from the harbor, drawing 300 spectators. today.

Back in the days when "recess" meant a 30-minute play break

and "creative writing" meant a story about your weekend, it seemed as if Cats was the only musical on the planet. Those

black t-shirts with the cat-eyes and the scrawled logo were as

popular as Homey the Clown and Barbie dolls. If you didn't have a Cats t-shirt, you hadn't been to Broadway, simple as that.

lLatSC&saw In large part, it's the young audience that made Cats so successful. With a loosely-knit storyline based onT.S. Eliot's whimsical "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" poetry collection, bright, garish costumes and a razzle-dazzle set with lots of moving platforms, fake smoke and twinkling lights, Cats is cute, easy-to-swallow and not hard to follow. For hordes of tourists struggling through the Broadway throngs trying to placate grumbling kids, that made Cats the long-sought answer to their Continued on next page

prayersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a Broadway production you could get the kids to sit through. But is Cats actually a good musical, or is it a compromise, buoyed more by an ability to keep kids quiet than to arouse the aesthetic interest of the rest of the audience? Twenty-one years old and still without the t-shirt, 1 decided to go to Broadway and find out if Cats was worth the trip. Almost as soon as the production begun, I realized that more than the t-shirts were going to remind me of the kiddie culture of the Reagan era. The show looks like a flesh and blood version of the classic 'Bos cartoon Thundercats, with actors wearing striped spandex costumes with wing-like tufts of fur framing their faces. Plot-wise, Cats seems a lot like the Smurfs. There a bunch of cats at the once-a-year "Jellicle Ball','and each cat has its own specific, stereotypical personality and a ridiculous, jackassed name. There are two thief cats, a rock star cat, a magical cat, an old, wizened cat and one really attractive cat that doesn't have any solos (Smurfette?).The con-

swoops down on the cats as they're out at play, snagging the wizened old cat (Deuteronomy) and whisking him offstage. But before you can make sense of any of this, or the kids get bored, these plotlines are efficiently dispatched. The magical cat (Mister Mistoffelees), who shows up nowhere else in the story, retrieves Deuteronomy from Macavity's clutches. Once he's back, Deuteronomy uses his magical powers to give Grizabella a second chance. The cats sing another song, mechanical stairs descend from the ceiling and take Grizabella to cat heaven, and that's a wrap. Aside from "Memory," Cats' music seems like a Broadway reflection of aesthetic that brought us songs like "Thriller" and

"Sledgehammer"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;nice-sounding,

THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER.... OH, WAIT: Grizabella isn't a Thundercat, but she sure looks a lot like one (left).

unswervingly vapid nonsense. The opening number, "The Naming of Cats" will stick in your brain like bubblegum even if you don't care what it's about, and from there on out its more of the same, with the oddly weighty "Memory" there to remind you that this is a Broadway musical and not a cartoon. But given its lack of structural fluency and over-attention to special effects at the expense of acting, you can't help but feel like Cats is kiddie fodder. Without strong characters or a plot with any climactic forestalling, Cats never gives its adult audience a reason to care. Cats' success argued that a cathartic, memorable plot and strong songwriting came second to grabbing a big audience and making things look pretty. Broadway has yet to fully recover from the raft of stinkers that followed, hoping to capitalize on Cats' success. Maybe its closing can make room for more serious productions and leave the children's stories to Disney. Because for now, in the words of The Rumpus Cat, "The theater's not what it used to be."Q

"WMen

For

readers who believe that literature and politics should be separate, this hasn't been a good summer. Novels by two of the country's most prominent writers, Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, are explicitly embroiled in politics throughout their plots. Both are narrated by elderly men, with elderly men as their protagonists Roth and Bellow themselves are senior citizens at 67 and 86 years old, respectively. Both novels depict characters who think they've been wronged by life or society and are fighting back with a vengeance. Unfortunately, both fail to show their authors at their best In The Human Stain, Roth concludes the trilogy he started in American Pastoral and continued in So I Married a Communist. The year is 1998—the title refers to Clinton's stain on Monica's dress, as well as the stain of race relations. The narrator is Roth's alter ego Nathan Zuckerman, who tells the biography of one Coleman Silk 71-year-old Silk is angry for a variety of reasons. He has taken early retirement from the college where he workei as a Classics professor and dean for 30 years because hi was accused of racism. Subsequently, his wife has passed away, a former colleague has threatened to expose his new relationship with an illiterate college custodian and the woman's ex-husband is threatening to kill the two. Silk is also hiding a number of secrets about his past and identity that don't exactly contribute to his peace of mind. On one level, The Human Stain reads like a novelistic indictment of political correctness in academia—Silk can't understand why he is accused of racism and his departmental nemesis, a young French woman, refuses to comprehend his humanistic background. On another level, it seems that the book accuses American society of abandoning those who have brought it to its present greatness, accepting flashy new theories (in academia, politics and entertainment) —

Philip Roth’s The Human Stain ant) Saul Bellow’s Ravelstein gripe but don’t grip. By Norbert Schurer

over the trusted humanistic ideas of the past. Bellow's Ravelstein is a barely-fictionalized biography of the last days of cultural critic Allan Bloom, author of The Closing of the American Mind, who died in 1992 of AIDS. The novel has little plot, jumping back and forth between the present of the narration, the past of Ravelstein's dying, and the deep past of the friendship between the biographer and his subject. As described by Chick, Bellow's narrator and alter ego as well f as Ravelstein's friend and confidant, Ravelstein comes across as an energetic, impatient, boisterous, arrogant, intelligent, ungraceful giant of a man. With very few exceptions, he is dismissive of his students, colleagues and society in general. He believes that society is vulgar, dumb and unable to appreciate him, but is quite willing to accept the fame, notoriety and money it bestows. Ravelstein seems more a force of nature than a character, living and dying according to rules others cannot comprehend. Both The Human Stain and Ravelstein are pessimistic books, lamenting the decline of American culture and trying to pin the blame on politics of either the academic or governmental sort. Unfortunately, neither Roth nor Bellow seem able to summon much sympathy for their protagonists—Silk md Ravelstein have too many negative characteristics to allow the reader any kind of identification. For that reason, the reader finds it difficult to endorse these attacks on American culture —they seem motivated more by pet peeves than serious argument. In the end, the books fail because their depictions of characters and society are too one-dimensional, and because their authors offer no alternatives. Neither protagonist really comes alive, and neither narrator can make a connection to his friends or the reader. Another problem is that this time around, Bellow and Roth's novels both lack convincing female characters. These are books by, about and for grumpy old men.Q

Ghost By Michael Ondaatje

Anil's

Anil's Ghost finds AnilTissera, the female protagonist of Michae Ondaatje's first novel since The English Patient, coming back to her homeland of Sri Lanka in the late '9os for the first time in fifteen years. A forensic anthropologist, she has been sent by an international human rights organization to investigate war crimes in the country, which is torn by fighting between the government, Tamil'separatists in the north and insurgents in the south of the island. She is joined by Sarath Diyasena, a local archeologist, and later Ananda Udugama, an artist-turned-miner, in the attempt to discover the identity of a skeleton—and perhaps victim of political violence —they call "Sailor." Ondaatje arranges the novel in what might be called concentric circles —clusters of characters and atmospheres that reinforce its narrative structure. The first circle has Sarath and Ananda at its center, with Sarath's wife (who might or might not be dead), his brother (a doctor who deals with the killing in Sri Lanka) and his teacher (who has retreated to

a deserted forest monastery) revolving around them. There is another circle focused solely on Ananda that deals with his work in the mine, his inability to deal with the horror of the killing and his work as a painter of Buddhas' eyes. Ultimately, every character and incident is related back to Anil. But that does not mean that Anil's Ghost is just about one character. No longer able to speak Sinhala and unwilling to open up emotionally, Anil lives in a bubble of her own making. Ondaatje leaves no doubt that such a pose—which stands as a metaphor for the way human beings deal with horror and disaster—must crumble in the :ace of the events in his and her homeland. He takes no ides in the political struggle, only shines a blinding light on ie misery it causes the population at large. Anil's Ghost is insightful study in the psychology of its eponymous heroi, but more importantly—and most powerfully—it is an ictment of humanity as a whole for the crimes it commits inst itself and allows to go unpunished. —By Norbert Schurer

BUDGETING FOR HOME OWNERSHIP

Informationfor this article

was provided by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, Durham Center

Perhaps

you are just beginning to think about buying a home sometime in the future. Or maybe you have already found a home you would like to buy. Whether you hope to buy a home soon, or in a number of years, it is very important to look at your personal or family financial situation. If you do not have and use a written budget and keep records of your spending and saving, now is the time to begin! Too often, people think only about saving enough money to get into a house. They forget that the expenses of homeownership can include not only costs such as closing costs, down payment and mortgage payments, but also regular maintenance costs, homeowners insurance, property taxes, repairs, furnishings, major appliances, and much more! When you begin shopping for a mortgage loan, being able to show your budget and records for each type of homeownership cost will demonstrate to the lender that you and your family know how to manage money and are good credit risks. First you need to find out exactly what is in your credit record. Ask the nearest credit bureau for a copy of your credit report so that you know what it says. If you find errors, you can ask for corrections. If you’ve had credit problems in the past, you can leam how to reduce the risk of future problems and improve your credit record through good budgeting and record keeping. Knowing what is in your report before you apply for a loan is a good investment.

Making a Budget Spell out your financial goals. Look at your net worth and think about how much of your assets you

would be willing to use in order to buy a home. If you do not yet have enough money for a down payment and other one-time costs, you will want to increase your savings (and your income, if possible) to help you reach that goal. If your debt load is too large, your first goal will be to spend less, use less credit, and reduce the amount of debt you owe Estimate your gross and net income for the coming year. Look at last year’s income and think about possible changes in the coming year. Include only income that you are confident will be available. Also look down the road and think about how stable your income will be for many years of mortgage payments and other housing expenses. Analyze your current financial situation. Look at your credit situation. Think about each debt and the amount of payments due each month. Ask yourself what changes you must make or want to make in the coming year. Look at last year’s average expenses. Think about each item, and ask yourself what changes you must make, and others that you want to make. Look at your savings and investments. Think about how much you can set aside each month to increase them.

Make a plan for the use of net income in the coming year. Spell out your planned monthly payments for all long-term debt obligations. Your lender will calculate the percentage of debt payments in comparison with your gross income to see if it falls within specific guidelines. Subtract the amount needed for debt payments from your estimated net income. Write down your monthly estimates for all family living expenses except housing, and figure the total. Subtract these estimated non-housing expenses total from the amount left. Estimate each of the average monthly expenses for a house in the price range you are considering, and figure the total. A lender or realtor can help you estimate mortgage payment (principal and interest), taxes, and insurance. Compare your estimated housing expenses with your estimated available income. Is money still available for savings and investments? If the income available is not equal to or greater than estimated expenses, it’s time to re-evaluate your situation. Prepare an actual budget for the coming year that will guide your spending and help you reach your goals. Remember: a budget is a flexible tool to help you reach your goals.

Getting Started Financial counselors suggest that you take a good look at your current financial situation before you continued on page 30

A GLOSSARY OF MORTGAGE TERMS

Informationfor this article provided by the National Association of Mortgage brokers; thunks

Shopping

for a home can be exciting but also very confusing. You may have already discovered that there are many unfamiliar terms in the mortgage industry. For example, you’ve probably heard terms such as “ARM,” “discount points,” and “escrow account.” Because you may be wondering what this terminology means, here is a glossary of some of the most common terms used during the mortgage financing process. It is important that you completely understand these terms before you sign your mortgage. Your loan officer can explain these terms in greater detail and also provide you with more information.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) A mortgage loan in which the interest rate can go up or clown based on market conditions. C hanges in the interest rate are determined by a financial index. ARM loans have a cap or limit on how much the interest rate can change.

A type of adjustable-rate mortgage loan that can be converted to a fixed-rate mortgage.

Closing The final step in the mortgage loan process which

follows underwriting. The closing is a meeting between the homebuyer, seller and lender in which mortgage documents are signed and title to the property passes from the seller to the buyer. At the same time, the homebuyer receives the funds needed to purchase the property and pledges the property as security for the repayment of the debt.

Discount Points Also called “points.” A one-time charge paid to the lender at closing to obtain a lower interest rate on the mortgage loan. One point is equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. For example, two points on a $lOO,OOO mortgage would cost $2,000.

Equity The amount of the home that you actually own. Equity is the difference between the market value of the home and what you still owe on it.

Escrow Account An account often required by the lender to pay taxes and insurance. Every time a mortgage payment is made, a portion goes into the escrow

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) A term that expresses the cost of a mortgage as an annual rate. The APR is normally higher than the

Closing Costs Fees paid by either buyer or seller at closing which are usually 3 to 6 percent of the mortgage amount. Some examples of closing costs are: realtor fees, attorney’s fees, appraisal fees and taxes.

When you are ready to shop for the best refinancing deal, you may want to contact several local mortgage lenders. Because there are several variables, you might want to make a refinancing comparison chart. This will help you take a systematic approach to analyzing the rates, closing costs and other fees or terms. Remember that interest rates do change often, sometimes daily. So you should record the date of your rate quote. If you contact potential lenders on the same day, you likely will get a more accurate comparison. Some financial institutions provide interactive capabilities for figuring potential savings on refinancing.

HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE

Informationfor

this article was provided by Chuck Barham, Agent. State Farm

Insurance. Durham.

North Carolina

Insurance

is something that people buy, hoping they will never need to use it. Typically, homeowners insurance insures your home, any structure attached to it (like a porch or garage), and any unattached buildings on your property that are not used for business or rented to others. In the event of a covered loss to your home, most insurance companies will pay up to your limit of insurance plus an additional 25% of that limit, to repair or replace the damaged or home with destroyed similar construction. Keeping this in mind, be sure to let your agent know within 30 days of the start of any additions or remodeling, to make sure you receive full benefits. A good option to discuss with the agent is guaranteed replacement coverage for not only the home, but the items inside the home as well. It is important to find a dependable record in paying claims and in customer satisfaction. Take time to read your policy carefully and be aware of what is and is not covered.

Taking Care of More Business

Inflation Coverage automatically accounts for inflation changing the cost of replacing your property, by increasing the amount of insurance coverage. Changes in coverage are based on the movement of an inflation index and are reflected in the premium on each

Additional coverages that may be available include: debris removal, reasonable repairs, tree damage, fire department service charge, collapse, refrigerated property, credit card forgery and counterfeit money, depending on your policy. Although homeowners insurance provides comprehensive coverage, it does not cover every loss. Some common exclusions are: flood damage, earth movement, damage caused by animals kept by household members, and liability losses resulting from professional liability, intentional injury to others, or liability between members of the same household. Be sure to check your policy for a specific description of losses not insured.

APARTMENTS

What’s Covered? Coverage for your home can include damage or loss caused by fire, lightning, windstorm and hail, explosion, aircraft, riot or civil commotion, vehicles, smoke, vandalism, theft, falling objects, weight of ice or snow, plumbing leaks, tearing or bulging of heating and cooling systems, freezing of plumbing system, and artificially generated electric current. In addition, policies cover accidental direct physical damage to your home (such as scorched surface, chipping of sink, paint spills, falling objects, types of water and moisture damage, and damage to siding).

Anything Else? Homeowners insurance can include other types of coverages. Personal Liability coverage provides payments for certain accidental bodily injury or property damage you or a household member may be legally responsible for, such as someone accidentally injured at your house or property, or if you accidentally injure someone while playing baseball. Medical Payment to Others coverage pays medical expenses up the the limits in the policy for someone who is accidentally injured on your property or is accidentally injured by you or another household member. Loss of Use coverage provides payment for expenses when your home is damaged and unfit to live in because of an insured loss and you are forced to temporarily move. In this case, expenses are covered for what you would normally spend for food, shelter, and related items. Replacement Cost coverage protects many items in your home, such as clothes and furniture. In addition, it can protect some personal property while you are away from home (such as things you take with you on vacation). With protective' replacement cost coverage, the insurance company will pay to replace or repair your personal property up to your policy limits. Items not repaired or replaced will be covered for their actual cash value. Generally, the amount of insurance on your personal property is equal to 70% of the amount of insurance on your home. But in many cases, special limits apply to certain items of personal property. Ask your agent for specifics. Read your policy carefully.

This reduces the total interest costs of a home mortgage and pays the loan off months or years sooner than scheduled.

Improvements

Tax Benefits

Some improvements increase the value of the house while others do not. Improvements rarely increase the value of the house dollar for dollar. For example, don’t expect a $lO,OOO improvement to a $75,000 house to make the house worth $85,000. Improvements are most likely to increase a house’s appraised value if neighboring houses are larger or in better condition. If surrounding houses are smaller or have not been kept up, the cost of improvements to your home is less likely to increase its value.

When you purchase a house, you are not just buying protection from the elements; you are also protecting some of your income from federal and state taxes. As a homeowner, you can deduct a portion of your

total monthly housing cost from your federal income tax. Mortgage interest and property taxes are both deductible on your personal income tax return. During the early years of your mortgage, almost the entire payment will be tax deductible. However, the lower the interest rate, the more quickly the tax advantage will decrease. Many people have more taxes withheld than needed. Although the money withheld will be returned to you after you file your income tax return, you will have lost the use of the money for part of the year. You may need this money for additional costs as you move into your new

house, or you could be drawing interest on it from some sort of savings or investments. By completing a W-4 form correctly, you can avoid over withholding. Ideally, you should come out about even each year. The beginning of a new tax year is the best time to check your W-4, so that the amount withheld is more nearly accurate from the start. In general, the tax benefits of home ownership increase with increases in the size of the household’s marginal tax rate, the size of the housing payment, the interest rate charged, and the length of the term of the mortgage.

Caution Many financial institutions today encourage homeowners to use the equity in their home as security for a loan or for a line of credit. The usual sales pitch is based on the fact that the interest payments on such loans will be tax deductible, while the interest on consumer credit loans is not. Homeowners should think long and hard about using this source of credit. If you were to lose your job or have a serious medical condition, would you be able to repay the loan or meet the credit payments? If not, you have placed your home at risk. Older people who want to stay in their homes, but have insufficient cash for living expenses, now have away to tap into their home equity without risking the loss of their homes. This approach is referred to as a home equity conversion mortgage or HECM. North Carolina law requires special counseling for older homeowners before they may enter into such an agreement. Do your homework. Take time to explore the economy. Find competent professionals to help you make your selection and don’t be in too much of a hurry.

MAKING THE RIGHT RENTAL CHOICES

Theresa T. Clark. Family and Consumer Education Agent, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Sen ice. Durham Countv Center

Finding

the right place to call home can be a rewarding experience or a frustrating and

financially draining one! Nearly one-third of all U.S. householders are renters. If you are considering renting, you need to make a lot of decisions about where to rent and what type of structure to rent. You also need to know your rights and responsibilities under landlord-tenant law.

When You Move In •

•

Know What You Want and Can Afford When renting you must decide how you want to live. What is and what is not important to you and your family? Next determine a price range into which your rent and all other housing costs can fit. Your total monthly housing costs rent, furniture, utilities, telephone, maintenance fees, and insurance should not exceed 25 to 30 percent of your monthly take-home pay (approximately one week’s take-home pay). Where you choose to live may be influenced by how far it is to your work, your children’s schools, shopping, your church, recreational facilities, the type and condition of neighborhood, and your need for personal security.

•

When You Move Out

Keep your relationship with the landlord business-like by reporting all problems as they occur even if you are at fault. Place all your communications to the landlord in writing. Keep a copy of your letters and receipts.

•

Demonstrate your good faith by paying your rent and utility bills on time. Insure that your family, friends, and pets do not abuse the property or the rights of other tenants Keep the property clean.

•

Give proper and legal written notice. Send change of address cards to friends and notify the post office.

•Leave the property in good condition •Complete a security deposit checklist. Ask the landlord to go through the property with you. Ask him or her to sign a form stating that no damage was done or that you both agree to the specific charge as noted in writing. Return all keys and leave a forwarding address.

Learn How to Find What You Want As you search for housing, check with friends who may live in the areas that interest you. Read want ads and check with rental agencies. If you are moving into a new locality, your employer may be able to provide some leads. Once you have found several possibilities, take the time to mentally live in each of the choices. Think about a typical day’s routine for your family. Can each of your family members get up, get ready, and get off to the day’s business without running over one another? Measure to make sure your furniture will fit. Mentally “decorate” it. Is there space and facilities to do the things you want and need to do? What are the average utility costs? If you are thinking of renting an apartment, consider possible problems. These might include: noise from passing traffic, other apartments, plumbing, and hallways; infrequent trash pickup; poor parking facilities; poor maintenance of entrances, halls, and grounds; and heating and air-conditioning systems that do not work well. “

”

Know Your Legal Obligations and Rights A lease is a contract in which the landlord gives the tenant

the right to use and possess property for a specified term in return for rent. The purpose of a lease is to detail the rights and duties of the tenant and landlord. To be enforceable, the lease must meet certainrequirements. Both parties must be of legal age. A lease must: •

Specify the amount of rent

Insist on having a lease, read it carefully, and make sure you understand all provisions. If you do not understand the terms of the lease, do not sign it until you do. Verbal agreements are binding but difficult to prove. Have all your agreements documented. The rights and obligations of the landlord and tenant are established both by law and by the rental agreement. If you have a question about your rights as tenant, first check your lease. If you do not find the answer to your question in your lease, seek professional advice. Do not try to resolve the problem without first finding out what are your legal rights and obligations. Generally, self-help remedies are not available to either the tenant or the landlord. Your landlord may not cut off utilities or lock you out ofthe rental property in lieu of a court procedure to evict you. You may not withhold rent to force the landlord to make repairs without the court's permission. Knowing your rights and obligations is the first step in resolving any problems with your landlord.

RENTERS INSURANCE Informationfor this article

was providedby Andy

Jones. Agent, Nationwide Insurance, Durham, North Carolina

Anyone

who rents a home or apartment might wonder if getting insurance would be necessary. If you don’t own the building, then why buy insurance? A renter’s liability isn’t much different than that of a homeowner, and the renter’s personal property and liability are not covered by the landlord’s insurance policy. Renters insurance will protect many things in the home like stereos, furniture, computers, jewelry, televisions and other valuables that would be expensive to replace if any of these items were stolen, damaged or destroyed. It can also provide some protection for personal property while on vacation or away from home. Many renters don’t realize exactly how much they have invested in their personal belongings. After all, how much furniture and clothing can be in just a typical three- or four-room apartment? Think about it—what would it cost to replace the clothing in a closet alone? $1000? $1500? More? Add to that personal stereo equipment, books, computer, furniture and appliances and the replacement costs might add up into the thousands of dollars! Many renters believe that insurance is not affordable. However, compared with other forms of insurance, renter’s insurance is relatively inexpensive. When considering the high cost of replacing personal belongings or defending a lawsuit and paying a judgment, renters cannot afford to be without insurance.

What Does Renter’s Insurance Cover? Renters insurance can provide both property and liability coverage. It can protect property from

damage due to fire, lightening, windstorms, hail, explosions, smoke, falling objects, theft, water

Cash Value or Guaranteed Replacement? Once the approximate value of the personal belongings is determined, the decision of actual cash value

damage from plumbing or appliances, or damage due to the weight of ice, sleet or snow. Personal liability coverage provides protection in case of accidental bodily injury to others or damage to the property of others. It usually applies regardless of where the incident occurs and covers relatives who live with the renter (such as a child, parent, etc.) This coverage also pays legal defense costs and attorney fees if a suit is filed. Medical coverage pays the medical expense of others who are accidentally injured while in the home with permission, or elsewhere if the injuries are caused by the renter’s actions. Research the insurance policy for more information about more specific types of coverages.

coverage or guaranteed replacement coverage needs to be made. Actual cash value usually means current replacement costs less depreciation. Guaranteed replacement coverage does not deduct for depreciation. In terms of $l,OOO worth of furniture, actual cash value would deduct depreciation costs (say one-third), and present you with a payment of approximately $666 ($l,OOO less $334). A guaranteed replacement coverage policy would present a payment of $l,OOO. Personal property insurance can protect investments, but a policy must be chosen to be sure that all possessions are covered. Some possessions, like business property, silverware, or jewelry, are often subject to category limits in terms of dollars. When researching insurance policies be sure to notice how these limits apply to expensive items. If the valuables are worth more than these limits, individual coverage of the items may be needed to get full protection. Check with the agent to determine what valuables the renter’s policy excludes or limits.

How Much Is “Enough”? There are at least two ways to determine how much insurance is needed on personal property. One is to take a complete inventory of the possessions by listing each item, when it was acquired and the purchase price or current value. Total this list up and you will have a rough idea of what the personal property is worth. This process is handy for maintaining an accurate inventory in case of damage or theft (especially if photos of the entries are included). Put the list in a bank deposit box or some other safe place. Should something “unthinkable” happen, the police and the insurance agent will have something solid and dependable from which to work.

Stay “Up To Date” Smart renters will periodically review their policies to make sure that they are adequate. Some companies do this automatically, adjusting policy amounts based on the Consumer Price Index or some other inflation indicator. Remember to add major purchases, though. Regardless of the coverage amount, the policy will usually include a deductible provision that applies to property losses. This deductible amount represents how much the renter must pay before insurance payments begin. The renter may not own the building but does own personal property, and the renter has more liability exposure than realized.

Another way to determine how much insurance is needed is to ask the insurance agent to estimate the total value of the belongings. Some companies now have ways of determining the approximate cost of replacing possessions based on the size or number of rooms in the rental unit.

FASTER, INFORMAL LIVES THREATEN THE TRADITIONAL LIVING ROOM

By Justin Bachman Associated Press Writer •

ATLANTA (AP) The living room is dying Long a model of stuffy grace and fancy furniture, the traditional living room employed rarely and offlimits to children and pets has all but disappeared from American homes. Its replacement? A zone that gets daily use in the form of Internet browsing, television watching, eating, drinking, exercising or conducting business. ‘The idea of this room that is set apart that you only use when you have guests, like our parents did 50 years ago people are not planning those in their home,” said Ann Platz, an Atlanta interior designer. “They are really trying to find rooms they have multiple functions for.” Decorators say the technology-saturated 1990s have made media rooms the current darling, with people packing in computers, stereos, big-screen televisions, CD players, home satellite systems and video games. “The younger generation wants to buy all those electronic gadgets and you need a space to put them in. The living room goes away,” said Atlanta interior designer Hugh James, who has seen the less-thansubtle shift away from living rooms over the last decade. Bill and Tricia McCutchen got rid of their living room in their last move, their third in 18 years. The couple instead hang out in a sunroom that adjoins their large kitchen in Roswell, an Atlanta suburb. “We did away with it because we never used it,” Mrs. McCutchen said. And with the couple’s children out of the house, the two “kind of live in the kitchen,” she said. “It all boils down to lifestyles,” she said. “People just don’t entertain formally any more don’t have time.” The traditional living room has morphed into

entertainment centers, libraries, home offices, exercise areas and private space for older people who have moved in with their children. “Most of the time I find that people who request a formal living room are using it for a piano,” said John Slappey, a real estate agent in Buford who plans to install a pool table in his living room. “I’ve got a formal living room and it’s got furniture in there that’s just collecting dust.” Living rooms once were the domain of people engaged in more structured, less manic lifestyles, where guests were entertained formally, books were read and drinks were sipped by a fireplace. Such a space doesn’t accommodate the way people live anymore, Ms. Platz said. “We live in a fast-paced world, and we drive into McDonald’s. It’s kind of instant living,” she said. Living rooms also have become physically less distinct since homeowners have begun knocking down walls separating kitchens from dining areas, and dens from living rooms. “I find that clients like this open flow of space. It’s all just coalescing, one room into another,” said Hilary Imes, an interior designer in San Clemente, Calif. The change also has been spurred by the way people entertain. “People are not doing high tea anymore,” said Dan Bawden, president of the Greater Houston Builders Association. “Today’s dinner parties are more likely to involve casually dressed company having cocktails and grazing in the kitchen than dressedto-the-nines guests sipping martinis in a living room before sitting down for dinner,” Ms. Platz said.

The living room’s transformation has been accompanied by bigger homes over the last 20 years. The average single-family home has increased from 1,645 square feet in 1975 to 2,190 square feet last year, according to the National Association of Home Builders. That jumpalso has led to huge differences in the amount of space people want in particular rooms, builders report Walk-in closets are in, as are large bedroom suites, behemoth bathrooms and kitchens with big foodpreparation islands. The breakfast nook has expanded exponentially. Those desires lead to cuts elsewhere. The living room is usually first to go. “They give you their wish list and very seldom does it include a dedicated living room with living room furniture,” said Paul Davidson, president of Davidson/Kopp Group, a Georgia company that builds $300,000-plus homes. “You just don’t hear people say they want a living room anymore.” Still, old habits die hard: About 89 percent of new homes are built with a living room, even though most aren’t used as the formal spaces builders designate, said Andrew Kochera, an economist with the home builders association in Washington, D.C. “In the majority of the houses in America, eventually that living room is going to go away and become a library-slash-office,” predicts Ron Becker, presidentelect of the International Furnishings and Design

GIVING KIDS ROOM TO GROW 1999

Cox News Service

Sarah

Thornton is living in a dream world. To be more accurate, a dream room. With the help of

Atlanta interior designer Gretchen G. Edwards, Sarah has everything a 14-year-old could want in her bedroom and then some. A queen-size sleigh bed in whitewashed pine. A custom-made curtain canopy that hangs gracefully from the ceiling, draping either side of the headboard. Matching window treatments that are fancier than those you’d find in some living rooms. A pine dresser and matching cabinet to store her collection of porcelain tea sets and whatnots. Custom-made, blue-and-white-checked lampshades and blue wallto-wall carpeting to complete the theme. Sarah’s closet was redesigned to maximize storage space, and her bathroom was wallpapered to coordinate with the bedroom decor. “It’s exactly what she had visualized. It’s just a little girl’s dream,” said Edwards, who started the project when Sarah was 12. Money was no object. Decorating costs for Sarah’s bedroom? Almost $20,000. But the Thorntons won’t be changing the decor for their only child any time soon. “This was it, and she knew that when we did this,” said Betty Thornton, Sarah’s mother. “It absolutely has to last through college. My thinking is she’ll take this furniture with her someday, when she gets married or has a household of her own.” The price might seem steep, but the Thorntons aren’t alone when it comes to spending large sums on children’s bedroom furnishings. Industry analysts say the spending spree starts shortly after conception. Juvenile products are one of the hottest-selling segments in the children’s market. “Since 1980, the juvenile product market has increased 400 percent. In 1980 it was $B5O million and in 1997 it was $4.4 billion,” said Kathleen Baier, vice president of communications for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. “We have a number of things we attribute this to,” Baier says. “Parents today are having much smaller families. Grandparents have a lot more disposable income, so grandparents are buying additional items for grandchildren that our parents may not have bought for us.” When parents make the second round of major purchases for their children, which typically occurs some time in grade school, many aren’t settling for mismatched furnishings. They want quality furniture that will take them from those in-between years, when the kids have outgrown Winnie-the-Pooh, to a tasteful guest room after they’ve left the nest. “Most parents don’t use hand-me-downs,” Baier said, because “we have more disposable income than our parents had.” Consumer demand for high-end children’s bedroom furnishings has become a manufacturer’s delight. Ethan Allen introduced a line of youth furniture called E.A. Kids. Pottery Bam came out with a mail-order catalog of kids’ furnishings. Rooms to Go was ahead of the curve when it opened the first of several Rooms to Go Kids stores in Marietta. The childrens’ stores carry about 15 different bedroom collections in addition to accessories, rugs and bedin-a-bag sets.

with girls. Canopy beds and sleigh beds are popular. So are accessories with dolls. “The doll has been the one we’ve been doing the most. It’s more the classic doll, collectibles,” Benatar said. Boys are still wild about sports, he said, particularly baseball, football and basketball. A basketball theme was a natural choice for Garvis and Gavar Long, sons of Atlanta Hawks player Grant Long. Nikki Long, Grant’s wife and an avid interior decorator, played the theme to the hilt in the boys’ room. Garvis, 9, and Gavar, 7 1/2, have full beds with custom-made basketball headboards. Nikki Long had bed skirts made in the same color as the pro basketballs. She had a muralist paint a basketball scene on the boys’ armoire, with a

“We weren’t quite sure we could justify it, but that’s a chance owner Jeff Seaman decided to take,” said Eyal Rappoport, vice president of merchandising at Rooms to Go. The hunch paid off. “Because youth furniture has been emphasized by so many companies, business has been better than ever, from the manufacturing sector to the retail sector,” Rappoport said The demand for good-looking youth furniture has also boosted interest in creating themes tnat reflect the child’s personality and interests.

There’s also a basketball table, basketball lamps, a basketball border around the room and basketball players on the valance over their curtains. A life-size cardboard figure of Grant Long, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, towers over a comer of the room. The boys hang their backpacks in basketball lockers. Nikki Long can’t begin to estimate what it cost to decorate the room. “I think I started looking for basketball stuff when my oldest was first bom,” she said, laughing. “You really don’t have to spend a lot of money to make something look good,” she said. “There’s no place you can’t look.”

BURGLARPROOF YOUR HOME By James Cummings

•

2000 Cox News Service

July

and August are the busiest months of the year for burglars. So if you want to help the downward trend in burglaries continue, there are a few steps you can take to make your house less attractive to thieves, particularly when you’re on vacation. Contact the local police department at least a week before you leave. Some departments offer free crime-prevention inspections. Most police departments tell patrolling officers to keep an eye on a house when they know it is going to be temporarily vacant. Visit the delivery office of your neighborhood post office to have mail delivery stopped if you’re going to be out of town. Also stop your newspaper delivery. If you’re going to be gone for more than a week, have someone cut your grass.

windows within 40 inches of the lock, you can use a lock with a thumb latch that will let you open the door from the inside without a key. In doors with glass panels, use a lock with a keyhole on both sides. •

•

Discouraging Burglars Some of the following tips are from the Burglary Prevention Council, and you can get more information from the organization by visiting its Web site at www.burglaryprevention.org. Or send $1 for handling and a self-addressed stamped envelope to Burglary Prevention Council, 221 N. LaSalle St., Suite 3500, Chicago, 111. 60601-1520 for the booklet “Keep Your Home Safe & Secure.”

Use automatic timers. Some timers can be set to turn on lights, radios and other appliances at the same time each day. Others that are slightly more expensive vary the on and off patterns from day to day to enhance the illusion that someone is home. Setting a timer on a radio tuned to a talk-show station might fool burglars into thinking a live conversation is going on if they listen at the window. Illuminate the yard. Outdoor lighting is an effective deterrent to burglars. Energy-efficient low-voltage, outdoor lights can eliminate the dark spots where a burglar could hide.

•

Lock up ladders, tools and lawn furniture. Don’t

invite burglary by providing aids to breaking into your house. A sturdy lawn chair that can quickly be pulled under a window makes getting through that window easier.

Close and lock all doors when leaving home even for short periods. More than a quarter of all burglary is without forced entiy Make sure you check the doors of the attached garage and breeze-way, as well as all windows, including basement windows.

Install deadbolt locks on all entry doors. A deadbolt lock is hard to force and doubles your door’s resistance to intrusion. If there are no breakable

trees and shrubs growing close to the house. To enter your house without making a lot of noise,

a buiglar needs time to work. Tall bushes and hanging branches can provide shelter while the burglar cases the house or tries to pry open a door or window.

Use window and door alarms. Look around discount and home-improvement stores for inexpensive audible alarms that go off when a window or door is forced. Also available are professionally installed systems that automatically call emeigency crews when it senses trouble. Before investing in such a system, however, check with police to find out what is legal in your community. Inventory your valuables and place small valuables and important documents in a safety-deposit box. Install a peephole in the front door. You must know who’s at the door before you open it, and a 180° peephole gives you a fairly good view if the door doesn’t have a window. Cracking the door and depending on a security chain to protect you can have deadly results. Don’t place a key under the doormat or in a similar hiding place. Experienced burglars check doormats, flower pots, window ledges, the tops of doors and so on because they know people leave keys there for emergencies. If you need to leave a key outside your house, give it to a trusted neighbor or two. —

The Metus y

•

Secure all windows. You can lock a double-hung window securely and inexpensively by drilling a hole at a downward angle through the front sash into the back sash where the sashes overlap. A wooden peg in the hole will keep the window from raising. Check home-improvement, hardware or variety stores for other window-locking ideas and devices.

Start a neighborhood watch program. Your local police department can help organize a neighborhood watch group that encourages neighbors to watch out for one another. But even without.a formal watch group, you should get to know your close neighbors so each of you can help keep the other’s house safe.

SELECTING YOUR HOUSE

from Staff Reports

Buying

a house can be a wonderful experience and a source of great satisfaction, or it can be a financial disaster and a big disappointment. The final decision is a complicated one, often based on emotional as well as financial factors. When selecting a house, first determine how much you can afford to spend and look only at houses in that price range. If you spend time looking at houses more expensive than you can afford, you may never be truly pleased with those that fit your pocketbook. The wise buyer will decide on the price range first to avoid the disappointment of not having “everything” in a house Before you select a house, decide on the space you need and the location, community services, and many other personal wants and needs. These are often called housing values. Consider how essential each item is to you and why. Remember, owning a house requires time and attention. If you would prefer to use your free time doing something other than cleaning out the gutters or raking leaves, homeownership may not be right for you. Many new homeowners soon get the feeling that the house owns them, rather than the other way around Houses require constant upkeep and attention. Repair people are not always available and they are usually expensive, making at least some do-it-yourself skills essential for most homeowners. Consider the condition of each house you look at. When is the best time to buy a house? The answer is not simple. You need to consider more than just

having the money for a downpayment and monthly payments. What is the local housing market like now and likely to be in several years? Is it a “buyer’s” or “seller’s” market? What is happening or is likely to happen to the local economy? Are houses in the neighborhood increasing in value? Will you be able to sell the house for a profit if you decide to move? Usually there are more existing houses than new ones on the market. Statistics show that two out of every three buyers select an existing house. When you are looking at older houses, there are some important things to check.

Look at the foundation for cracks or water marks. This can be accessed through the crawl space. Look

for unevenly painted or ceilings walls, mildew odors, stains or discolorations, or evidence of re-plastering or re-tiling in just one area of a room. Check under the house for damp ground or standing water. Test the water pressure by flushing the toilets and running the hot and cold water simultaneously. Examine the condition of floor joists and structural beams. Check to see if the interior floors are level. Uneven floors could be a sign of settling due to age or could mean problems with supporting joists.

Examine the house from the outside. What kind of pipes are installed and how old are they? If the house has a private well, when was it last tested? Most homes need at least 100 amp service to handle today’s electrical needs 200 is preferred. Check the fuse box or circuit breaker system. Appliances that use a large amount of electricity, like an electric range, need a 220 amp line. Notice the number and placement of electrical outlets. A professional inspector can answer your questions. -

Remember, the three most important factors in determining whether or not you are making a good financial investment are Location, Location, Location! Location means one thing to your family when you are thinking of its relationship to where you work and shop and worship. It may mean something else when it is time to sell the house. The same house may sell for thousands more, within the same city, depending upon the address. Location is not as critical in smaller communities or in rural areas as it is in larger ones, but it may still affect resale value. If you think that you won’t be living in a particular location very long, you might choose to live in a smaller house in an appreciating neighborhood rather than in a larger house in a declining neighborhood. For long-term commitments, your family may choose to buy an existing house and fix it up. Do your homework. Take time to explore the economy. Be realistic about your financial situation and about what your family wants and needs in a house. Find competent professionals to help you make your selection and don’t be in too much of a hurry. Be especially careful about the location to protect your investment and to provide greater convenience for your family.

BUYING FURNITURE

Submitted by: Theresa T. Clark, Family

Consumer Education Agent, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. Durham County Center

hether you’re buying one piece of furniture or several, you’ll probably find it is a major purchase. That’s why it’s important to buy wisely. And that T T means you may do well to do some thinking before you head for the store. Make a plan. Evaluate the furnishings you have now. Decide what new pieces would make your room complete and what you can afford. Include the measurements of the area where you want to put the furniture. Obviously, a 72-inch dresser won’t fit a 60-inch wall.

Remember, it’s not necessary to buy everything at one time. It’s not necessary that all the furniture in the room match. You can mix styles to your liking. However, if you think you might want to buy matching pieces later, ask the retailer to check if the group is still in production by the manufacturer and ask when the next culting(s) is scheduled. Decide what you can afford then what you need most. Furniture can be an investment of you buy quality in combination with style

available space. Your floor plan may also be helpful. Jot down your color and texture ideas. Decide what type of mood or atmosphere you want to create in the room. Think about the style of furniture you want. Make a list of the other items to which the new piece of furniture must relate. Take along paint chips and carpet and fabric samples. Remember, you cannot determine quality by price alone. A higher price does not always mean better construction or guarantee longer wear. One company may be able to produce a quality chair more inexpensively than another company. Most upholstered furniture consists of a frame, springs, or supporting foundation, filling, padding and the fabric covering. You must judge each of these basic parts to know the overall quality of a piece.

Upholstered Furniture It can be difficult to judge the quality of a piece of upholstered furniture. There are some features you can see and test carefully. However, much of what you do not see affects the quality. To be sure you get the best quality for your money, get organized before you go to the store. Make a shopping list. Include measurements the maximum height, length, and width of the -

phrase “and other selected hardwoods.” Higher priced furniture is usually made of fine hardwoods such as maple, cherry, oak, etc., or “selected” softwoods like pine. Medium priced furniture may have a combination of different exposed woods. Be wary if you see furniture labeled as “hardwood” only.

Begin With the Hangtag

and function.

On the hangtag, you might see the term “solid cherry.” That means that all the parts that are exposed are made of solid cherry wood. The frame or other hidden parts may be made of a “lesser” wood such as poplar or gum. Sometimes several different woods are used within a piece of furniture. If this is the case, you will see the

When you get to the furniture store, look around until you see a style that looks like you. The first thing you’ll want to do is look at the manufacturer’s hangtag. The Federal Trade Commission requires the manufacturer to indicate what materials have been used and how the piece is constructed. In other words, the hangtag helps tell you what you’re getting for your money. It can help you make price and product comparisons. And the hangtag should tell you the kind of care the item will require. If you can’t find the tag, ask a salesperson for the manufacturer’s brochure or have him check the catalog. Both can provide valuable information.

FURNISHINGS FOR BOTH INDOORS AND OUT By Danny C. Flanders

•

2000 Cox News Service

“Oversize ums and planters and pots, now musthaves inside as well as out, also add to the mix in glazed or crusty finishes,” Helms said. “New weatherresistant fabrics are looking more and more like those made only for interior use, and when turned into pillows, cushions and throws will soften the edges just as they do indoors.”

The line between indoors HIGH POINT, N.C. and outdoors gets blurrier, and helping bridge that narrow gap are new furnishings designed for use in both home and garden. Veneman Collections, a manufacturer of mostly castaluminum outdoor furnishings, has assembled such a line by a variety of designers that illustrates a new direction for decorating with indoor-outdoor pieces. A cornerstone of the collection is the same eclecticism mixing and matching materials and that has become so popular for interiors. styles Teak with metal. Glass with stone. ’4os art deco with ’9os contemporary. “The furnishings for our outside spaces should be as well thought out, as well made, as comfortable and as pleasing to the eye as those we would choose for our interiors,” said Carol Helms, design and furnishings editor for Garden Design magazine. “We have learned our lessons well when it comes to mixing styles, materials and textures in our inside spaces, and now we can take these same ideas outside.”

In developing its line, shown for the first time at last

month’s International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, N.C., Veneman Collections consulted industry experts for input on where the indoor-outdoor movement is headed. The company found that as gardens, including decks, patios and terraces, become more important to homeowners, the demand for bigger, interchangeable furniture will grow “The whole idea is for everything to become one so that you’re creating a seamless environment,” said Andrea Loukin, a company spokeswoman.

Some table bases are made of cast stone. A 10-footby-10-foot square umbrella is large enough to cover four tables, ideal for outdoor dinner parties. The collection includes several groups, including La Coeur, designer Larry Laslo’s interpretation of French ’4os glamour in cast aluminum; Kew Gardens, an aluminum version of classic English garden furniture; and Veneman Silver, a sleek contemporary line designed by John Caldwell that combines warm teak with cool aluminum.

The collection includes furnishings with thick cushions; durable, weather-resistant fabrics with an indoor feel; hand-rubbed metal finishes; teakand-cast-aluminum chairs; and neutral upholstery fabrics for blending the indoors and outdoors while not showing signs of fading.

Ideas such as surrounding a traditional wood table with metal chairs from another era and pulling up a couple of woven chaises.

Here’s where to go and what materials to provide when applying for utility services.

Electricity You can apply for service any day, 24-hours a day, by calling Duke Power at 382-3200, or by applying in person at 410 Chapel Hill Street (across from the

Police Department), 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday-Friday. Once you apply, Duke Power submits your application to Equifax for credit verification. There are several ways to establish credit. If you are a former Duke Power customer with a prior satisfactory payment record or in North Carolina if you own property and have satisfactory credit, no be deposit will required. If you cannot establish credit with references, you 'fiftl via may be asked to pay a |Mj XT deposit ranging from sl2s to $175. You can r* waive this deposit by having a current Duke Power customer co-sign for you as a guarantor. The guarantor needs to have current service with Duke Power for at least two years and have a good payment record. Deposits can be paid by cash, check, MasterCard, or Visa. Deposits are refunded with interest after 12 months if you have not had more than two late payments. If the application is approved without deposit, your service can be connected the next business day.

(V)

____

Gas To apply for gas service, simply call he PSNC Energy Customer Care Center toll free at 1-877-776-2427. If you are applying for gas heat and water service, the deposit will be based on previous usage at your new address. Public Service offers several options for fulfilling the deposit requirements: You may pay the deposit outright or you may have a current Public Service customer co-sign (provided that customer has at least one year of good credit with Public Service); or you may ask Public Service to pull your credit record. Normally two days are sufficient notice for hook-up. However, during peak seasons (such as the beginning of fall), the hook-up time may be one week or longer. The Customer Care Center is open 24 hours, seven days a week.

Telephone Telephone service can be established with GTE by calling (800)483-4300, Monday-Friday from 7:ooam-9:oopm Saturday from 7:3oam s:oopm, or by applying in person at either the GTE Phone Mart in the Northgate Mall, or South Square Mall

GTE Phone Mart in Northgate Mall is open Monday-Saturday from 10:00am-9:00pm. The phone number at the Northgate GTE Phone Mart is (919)286-7336. GTE Phone Mart in South Square Mall is open Monday-Saturday from 10;00am-9:00pm. The phone number at the South Square GTE Phone Mart is (919)403-3211. Your Social Security number will probably be requested for a credit check or a deposit of $lO5 may be required, or you may be asked to come out to the Phone Mart at Northgate Mall to show a picture I.D. Regular connection charges are $42.75 ($75-$B5 if a technician must come out to the location). Phone connection normally takes tvyo business days unless a technician must come out to the property.

CONTAINER GARDENING

Sy Paul G.

McKenzie (paul_mckenzie@ncsu.edu). Horticulture Extension Agent. Durham

f you have a love of plants and gardening,

but limited space or time, then container gardening may be the perfect solution. Whether your “landscape” is a sunny -A. window sill, a window box, a small apartment deck, or a large condominium patio, there are solutions to fit every situation. As a first step, assess the site you want to “landIs it a south or east facing window' that scape. receives full sun (a minimum of 6 hours per day)? If it s a deck or patio, is there afternoon shade to counteract the heat of our southern summers? Or do you have a deck on the north side of the building that never receives direct sunlight? And finally, how much space do you have to work with?

County. NC Cooperative Extension Service

Once you have determined the characteristics of the site (i.e. exposure, temperature, and available space) you are ready to begin selecting plants. The key to success is to select plants that will thrive in the conditions you have. A miniature rose, for example, will never reach it s potential without plenty of sunlight. But there are other beautiful plants that will thrive in a low light situation. There are many excellent references to help you choose, and you may also call the Durham Master Gardener Volunteers for advice (560-0528). There s no reason to limit your selection to the traditional. It's possible to grow virtually ANY plant in a pot, as long as you give it what it needs (e.g. light, water, nutrients, space). Be a risk taker,

Keep in mind, however, that plants, potting soil, and containers can get pretty heavy,

and try something different. Just keep your space constraints in mind and know the mature size of the plant BEFORE you purchase it. Certainly tomatoes, herbs, and many flowers can be grown in pots. But have you considered ornamental grasses? Small shrubs? Snap beans? If space allows, and you have a big enough container, what about a small tree (e.g. Japanese Maple)? For a real challenge (requiring lots of space, trellising, and maintenance), try growing a watermelon plant!

with the water you will be adding on a regular basis. BE SURE THE SITE CAN WITHSTAND THE WEIGHT YOU WILL BE ADDING. The same principles which are applied to landscape design can be used in container gardening as well. In other words, don't limit your vision to simply adding a pretty plant or two to the deck. Think in terms of what will accentuate the site. Will a single dramatic focal point do the trick? Or are you looking for more of a garden hideaway effect, where you feel surrounded by the natural world? Take into account plant colors, heights, and textures as you develop your plan. Once you ve developed a vision of what you want to achieve, it's time to put your plan into action. Start by selecting your containers, being certain they are of appropriate size for what you want to plant (not too big, and not too small). Sure, you can buy a variety of pots at the garden center, but what about an old bathtub or wheelbarrow? If your budget is limited, cut the tops out of empty milk jugs, or use whatever you can find. Be creative, but whatever container you use it MUST HAVE DRAINAGE HOLES. If your dream container lacks them, put a layer of rocks on the bottom and find a smaller container WITH drainage holes that will just fit inside. Most plants will thrive in any good quality potting mix, though some (e.g. orchids, cacti) have very specific requirements. The ideal mix should be sterile and have the right balance between holding water and draining well. Don't try to cut comers here by using low quality potting mix or garden soil. As far as maintaining your new garden, the most important practice is watering. Rather than watering on a schedule, monitor your plants and water them when they need it. It's best to allow the soil to become almost dry before watering again. Don't be surprised if outdoor plants need daily watering during the hottest summer months. Any of the water soluble plant fertilizers will be suitable for most plants, and can be easily applied with your watering can. A once a month application at recommended rates should suffice. Tender plants, such as annuals and tropicals, will die when winter arrives. But if you have used small shrubs or perennial flowers, it may be possible to keep them alive for many years. Keep in mind, however, that plants in pots are much more suscepr time to extremes of cold than plants in the ground. So even it you don't have your own 10 acre spread, it s still possible to enjoy the joys of gardening.

PUTTING UP WALLPAPER A By James Cummings

•

2000

Cox News Service

Putting

up wallpaper is not the easiest home improvement project you can take on, but it’s not the hardest either. And wallpapering is a project that gives you a lot of bang for the buck; wallpaper dramatically alters the look of a room by taking flat vertical walls, the blandest elements in

most rooms, and turning them into focal points of color and design.

If you’re interested in adding wallpaper to a room, check with a home improvement store; many conduct periodic wallpaper seminars. There are also plenty of brochures and pamphlets on the subject in paint and home improvement stores and books at any public library. Here are a few tips to help you get the hang of hanging wallpaper.

•

Concentrate on preparation. Pros agree that you work twice as hard getting the wall ready than in putting up the paper. Try a flat wall with few obstructions first. A big mistake many amateurs make is starting with a bathroom because it’s a small room. Bathrooms and kitchens usually are harder than bedrooms because of the cabinetry and plumbing you’ll have to work around.

•

Enlist help. The work is greatly simplified if you’ve got one person to hold while the other cuts and so on. Follow instructions. The paper you buy will come with instructions on how it should be applied. Read them twice before wetting, cutting or doing anything else. Then do as you’re instructed, working slowly and carefully through the whole job.

THE CHRONICLE

GUIDE

PROJECT

Before deciding on a room to wal paper, take a look around for potentia problems. Among the things that make a papering job more complex and time consuming are recessed windows and doors, curved archways, plumbing fixtures, high ceilings, overhangs, “outside” comers (junctions that 100 like a comer on the outside of a bo: rather than a comer on the inside of tin box) and cramped spaces where tw people can’t work together easily.

•

0002

Wallpapers with stripes, plaids and ot patterns that have to be matched also are harder to hang than solids or abstract patterns. Typical wallpapers are vinyl or vinyl-coated and come prepasted. To apply it, you wet the paper, allow it to cure for a few minutes, position it on the wall in away to keep the pattern continuous and trim away the excess. Vinyl papers are generally fairly easy to hang, and they’re washable. Some even come with a Teflon coating that allows crayon marks and grease to be wiped away. Some finishes are nongloss, while some are shiny silk looks. Remember that a shiny surface will show imperfections in the wall underneath, while an abstract pattern may disguise minor blemishes. Because wallpaper is expensive, you might be tempted to buy just enough. It’s better to err a bit on the side of excess and have a little extra paper to make up for mistakes and to use as patches later. Consult an expert or a book on measuring your rooms and take all your measurements at least

The measurements and a le drawing of the room will 'W a sales clerk to help you estimate how much paper you need. ry to avoid going back for lore paper. But if you do have co go back, buy paper with the same “dye lot” number or *,nd up with mismatched walls, i’re using a wallpaper with a ;e pattern that must be itched between sheets, expect a lot more waste and buy accordingly.

Hanging Paper You’ll need a set of wallpaper tools. You need a water tray, used for wetting the paper to activate the glue, a brush or plastic smoother to work air pockets and wrinkles out of the paper once it’s on the wall, a metal straight edge to provide a guide for straight cuts and a wallpaper cutter with a supply of breakaway blades.

Also get a retractable metal tape measure, a weighted line to act as a plumb and a seam roller. Before starting, remove as many obstacles from the wall as possible: Switch plates, medicine cabinets, towel bars, etc. Smooth walls are crucial: Irregularities like nail holes will show through the new wall covering and ruin its appearance. If you’re not proficient with joint compound, patching materials and so on, consult a book or expert.

Recycling

Cable TV

The City of Durham contracts with Tidewater Fiber Corp. to provide recycling services. Recycling saves natural resources, reduces pollution and does not take up space in a landfill. Every residence receives a large blue recycling bin. The materials collected for recycling are glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans, plastic bottles, juice boxes, newspaper, corrugated cardboard, magazines and catalogues, and some mixed paper. In the bin, place the clean, rinsed, flattened ■: materials curbside at 7:00 a.m. on the day that solid waste is collected from the residence. For more information on the recycling program, call Tidewater Fiber Corp at 957-8803.

Cable television service is provided by Time Warner, (800) 255-6565 or 220-4481. At the time of the hook-up, TimeWarner requires payment for installation and one month’s service. Orders can be placed over the phone with a Social Security number. Call Time Warner for more specific information

Turning On So, plan ahead, collect what you need and remember to take a bottle of your favorite pain-reliever with you. Remember, your move-in will soon be over, and you’ll be enjoying utilities stress-free in your new home!

prepare a budget to guide your future spending. Your housing expenses should consume no more than 25 33% of your net income (about one week’s income.) If you develop a good budget, but do not keep a record of your expenses, you’re wasting your time. If the budget you’ve developed shows that you do have enough income to pay both the operating costs and future occasional costs for a home of your own, you’re ready to begin looking at houses in your price range. Be sure to study the housing market to determine whether current interest rates and local housing costs are acceptable. Keep good financial records while you wait, and practice planning your purchases, controlling credit use, and increasing your savings. Get in the habit of comparing your budget plan at the end of each month to your expenses. If you need to, you can revise your budget, or you may need to discipline your spending and use of credit; remind yourself to stop and think before you spend money for things that aren’t a part of your plan and would delay you in reaching your goal of home ownership. -

takes so much work that it’s a good idea to do it right and get the most years possible out of the job. As with any paint job, most of the work occurs before you dip the first brush into the first can of paint. If you fail to prepare the walls properly or if you buy a bargainbasement paint, you’re just asking for a paint job that will fail prematurely. This is a fairly good time of year to paint as long as the weather on the days you’re working isn’t too hot. Paint on a calm, dry day when the temperatures are between about 55 and 85 (check the label of the paint you’re using for temperature requirements). Inspect the old paint on the house. Look for peeling, cracking, blistering, fading and black spotting caused by mildew. Rub your fingers across the surface to check for the chalky-white residue that indicates the old paint is breaking down.

If the paint is deteriorated only in a few spots, you might be able to buy another year or two by touching up a few bad places. But it’s hard to get a touch-up job to blend well with surrounding surfaces. Excessive moisture escaping through your walls can contribute to blistering and peeling. Exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms and vents in attics and crawlspaces will help reduce moisture buildup. Paint that cracks into small squares usually indicates the wall has been painted several times and the old layers of paint have lost their flexibility. You may need to get rid of the old paint if you want a smooth finished job. Mildew creates black spots on some walls. To tell if the spots on your wall are mildew and not dirt, splash the spots with a little bleach. Bleach will remove mildew spots but won’t affect regular dirt spots. If you have mildew spots, wash the affected areas with a bleach solution. A good first step in preparing outside walls for painting is using a pressure washer to clean the surface using a cleaning agent such as TSP (trisodium phosphate), which can be found in most homeimprovement and paint stores. If you don’t own a pressure washer, you can rent one. Follow the pressure-washer directions and use a wide spray with the spray tip kept at least a foot away from the surface. Don’t use a pressure washer on stucco it can damage the surface. Don’t spray under the edges of the overlapping siding boards. Rinse with clean water and allow the surface to dry completely. Pressure washing will remove some of the surface chalkiness, dirt and loose paint. Use a scraper to get rid of any remaining loose paint. If the paint is badly cracked, you might need to use a heat gun or propane torch to help get the paint off. If you have any exposed bare wood, if you have sanded or if you used a spackling compound, you’ll need to prime the surface with an oil-based primer. When you’re not sure if you should use a primer, go ahead and use one. Priming is an extra step, but it helps ensure a finished job that will last. Consider a primer with a mildew inhibitor. Have your paint store tint the primer to match the color of the finish coat. Use a quality natural-bristle brush to apply the primer, but don’t try to use the same brush on the top coat. The best type of paint to use for the top coat is a good acrylic latex exterior paint. Most name-brand paints in the middle of the price range, about $2O to $25 a gallon, are good choices for the nonprofessional painter. High-gloss paints are easy to clean and are a good choice for door frames and other areas that are often touched. Flat paints may be better for walls that have been repainted several times because flat paints make surface imperfections less noticeable. If you have a paint custom blended, extra paint cannot be returned. But it’s better to buy a little too much than to stop working to get more paint. Before

excess. (Don’t scrape paint off the brush on the rim of the can.)

starting to paint a wall, blend the cans of paint in a large container so all the paint used on the wall is exactly the same color.

Because latex paints dry quickly, apply a layer of paint with one even stroke, then go over it only once or

A 4-inch-wide brush is a good basic

workhorse for flat surfaces, and a tapered 2-inch-wide brush will help cut paint into comers. You can use rollers to spread paint over a wide area quickly, then smooth the paint and push it into seams using a brush with a small amount of paint. Don’t overload; a thin, smooth layer is best. Dip brushes so paint covers one-third to one-half the length of the bristles, then tap on the can to remove

twice to smooth it. More strokes will leave brush marks in the rapidly drying paint. For additional painting tips, check out homeimprovement sites on the Internet.

MAKING A GOOD MOVE

The “Guide to a Good Move” was provided by Allied Van Lines. See their web site at www.alliedvan.com.

Moving Tip 1:

Moving Tip 7:

Moving Tip 12:

Make a note of your shipment registration number (found in the upper right-hand comer of your bill of lading) and keep it with you in case you need to call your mover with questions about your shipment.

Before the van foreman leaves for your destination residence, give him a phone number where you can be reached. It is also a good idea to provide him with an alternate contact in case you can’t be reached.

Tag all items and be prepared to wheel and deal—garage sale gurus love to haggle.

Moving Tip 2:

Moving Tip 8:

Designate one drawer of a dresser for sheets and towels so that you won’t have to rummage through boxes for these essentials the first night in your

Place pictures in boxes between sheets and blankets to give them added protection.

new home.

Moving Tip 3:

Moving Tip 9:

If you need to store some of your goods, it’s a good idea to tour the warehouse of the mover you’re planning to use. Look for cleanliness, organization, security, etc.

Plates and record albums should be packed on end vertically, rather than placed flat and stacked.

Moving Tip 4: After you’ve thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda or charcoal in a sock or nylon stocking and place it inside to keep the interior smelling fresh.

Moving Tip 5: Pack your current phone book to take with you. You may need to make calls to residents or businesses back in your former hometown.

In addition to the room and contents, have children write their name and new address on the cartons from their rooms so they can become familiar with their new address before they get to their new home.

Moving Tip 14: At destination, you might want to consider having the TV and VCR hooked up first to occupy the kids while the rest ofthe van is being unloaded.

Moving Tip 15; Keep your pet calm and away from all the activity on moving day by arranging for a friend to watch your pet at his or her house.

Moving Tip 10:

Moving Tip 16:

Pack a box with toilet paper, telephone, toothpaste and brushes, snacks, coffee and coffee pot, soap, flashlight, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups and utensils, a couple of pans, and paper towels. These are some of the essentials you may need upon arrival at your new home. Ask your van foreman to load it on the van last so that it will be unloaded at your new home first Before packing medicine and toiletry items, make sure that their caps and lids have been tightly secured.

When moving plants to your new residence via your car, try not to let foliage rest against the windows, as the leaves will scorch.

Moving Tip 11:

Leave the rest to the professionals, sit back and relax, and look forward to the new opportunities, new friends, new experiences, etc., that are part of any move.

Moving Tip 6: Plack heavy items in small boxes, light items in laiger boxes.

Moving Tip 13:

Moving Tip 17: Upon arrival at your new home, let your PC “acclimate” itself to room temperature before plugging it in.

Moving Tip 18:

Remove bulbs before packing your lamps.

If you rent, own this. Nationwide’s

renters insurance offers you all the protection you need for your

personal belongings, as well as liability coverage
