tops Duke best By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

PHOTOS BY JENNY ROBINSON/THE CHRONICLE

THIS WEEK REPRESENTED A NEW BEGINNING for nearly every member of the University community. For employees and faculty, the hustle and bustle of campus life returned Monday. For freshmen, a new life began, and the FACs (above) were there to greet them. Thursday’s freshman convocation, see story, page 3, even marked a new tradition—a ceremonial honor-code signing (left). Graduate and professional students were part of the fun too, as orientations ranged from pub crawls to camping excursions, see story, page 10. But the focus remained on the freshmen, as it always does when 1,600 new freshmen arrive, redefining Duke life.

Hospital, NLRB reach agreement

A New

By MARKO DJURANOVIC The Chronicle

The unfair labor practice charges filed against Duke University Hospital by the International Union of Operating Engineers disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared late this summer. Under an agreement with the National Labor Relations Board, Duke Hospital administrators agreed early this month to refrain from six specific activities that roughly correspond to the unfair practice charges filed by the lUOE. A signed statement declaring Duke’s commitment now appears in prominent places throughout the Hospital, where it must remain for 60 days after the initial signing date, Aug. 4. In return, the NLRB will not pursue the complaints against the Hospital. “There was no point in fighting the charges further—we just want to have the election,” said Michael Israel, Duke Hospital CEO. The settlement appears to have topSee

It appears the University may not need to use its lifeline when playing Who Wants to Be a Billionaire. Between July 1, 1999 and June 30, 2000, the University raised nearly $4OB million, beating out last year’s record-high of $330.9 million and catapulting it just $2OO million shy of the $1.5 billion Campaign for Duke goal. The campaign runs out in 2003. “The key factors this year are pretty much the same ones as the last few years—generous and enthusiastic donors, a strong staff and volunteer group and a healthy .economy,” President NanKeohane wrote in an e-mail. “People are feeling good about Duke and excited about the initiatives they are asked to support and more generally positive about investing in the future of this institution.” This year’s contributions came from about 88,000 donors, over half of whom are alumni. Harvard became the first university to break the $4OO million dollar mark when it raised slightly over $420 million during the 1996-97 school year. Since then, Harvard has consistently raised even more annually. Duke officials suspect that the booming economy may have helped other schools raise big bucks last year, too, but figures for other schools have not yet been released. Such incredible success did not figure into administrators’ and trustees’ plans when they were laying out the campaign in the early ’9os. “Last year we raised [s33l million] and we were See CAMPAIGN on page 28

WASHINGTON Mexican President-elect Vicente Fox drew praise from A1 Gore and George W. Bush Thursday, but the two presidential aspirants’ neighborliness was mixed with reservations —especially from Bush—about Fox’s proposal to eventually open the U.S.-Mexican border. On a visit rife with political overtones both north and south of the border, Fox spent an hour with Gore strolling the grounds of the vice president’s official residence, then went to the White House for an Oval Office meeting with President Bill Clinton. He will meet with Bush Friday in Texas.

■

Gore’s foreign policy team had touted the meeting with Fox as an example ofhis extensive contacts with foreign leaders. For Bush, the Fox meeting underscores the one area where the Republican candidate has significant foreign relations experience, in dealing as Texas governor with Mexico. For Fox, bringing suggestions for improving U.S.Mexican ties even before he takes office—rather than simply waiting to react to U.S. overtures —establishes him as a forward-looking leader. He already has visited other Latin American countries and plans a trip to Europe before taking office.

Nan says no to Harvard rumors � Despite speculation that President Nan Keohane.could take over Harvard’s top post, she blows off the buzz. By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle Each year, Harvard University lures hundreds of students away

from Duke, but despite the rumors, it will be unable to steal Duke’s eighth president, Nan Keohane. But, Keohane said, she will likely step down from the presidency at the end of The Campaign for Duke, after 22 years as a university president. By the end of the campaign in 2003, Keohane said, she would like to go back to teaching and writing about political philosophy, feminism and education. Although she said she has not thought much about her post-presidential plans, Keohane said her tenure at Duke could make staying at the University appealing. Still, the nation’s top universities have been and will continue to tiy to recruit her away from Duke. Almost as soon as Harvard President Neil Rudenstine announced his resignaSee

Keohane compares frosh to pilgrims By JESSICA CLOUGH The Chronicle

A student’s journey through Duke was briefly transformed into a pilgrimage during President Nan Keohane’s address to the class of 2004 during this year’s opening convocation Thursday. Keohane told freshmen what to expect from their Duke careers by using as an analogy the pilgrimage of John

Bunyan’s hero Christian in “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” The allegory chronicles a pilgrim’s journey from “the place of all evil” to the “Celestial City.” In Keohane’s version, Christian becomes Chris—short for Christopher or Christine, the typical Duke freshman. Throughout Chris’ pilgrimage at Duke, the mythical student encounters issues ranging from Curriculum 2000 and academic integrity to binge drink-

ing and diversity. “After [Chris] spends a couple of nights worrying about one of his friends, called Pliable, who gets into

binge drinking, he can understand why his advisers talk so much about the alcohol policy,” Keohane said. “He and Joey have to clean up after Pliable gets very sick in their room. They take turns waking up in the night to make sure that Pliable is sleeping on his side, so he won’t choke on his own vomit; they worry about whether they should take him to the emergency room.” The president also emphasized the importance of diversity. “Duke is an intentionally diverse community,” she said.

Correction A page-one story in the July 17 Chronicle incorrectly represented the basketball program’s history. It has been sanctioned by the NCAA before.

Also, a page-37 story incorrectly stated the graduation requirement, which is actually 34 classes.

“Solid scholarly research has shown that economic, religious, racial, geographic and cultural diversity enriches the education that all students receive much better than does a homogenous mix,” she added. “Diverse student bodies learn better.” In her closing remarks, Keohane affirmed that although there was no “Celestial City” awaiting the freshmen at the end of their Duke careers, perhaps their journey would help them trans-

ated DUMAC to manage the University’s assets. Eugene McDonald, Morton’s predecessor who served for DUMAC’s entire 10 years, dedicated his presidency to providing a firm foundation from which the company could grow. “It’s not a very visible post to the campus community, but to be the steward of our endowment is a large responsibility that touches upon every area of the University,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public relations. Under McDonald’s leadership, the University’s investment returns consistently outperformed the mean for the largest 50 universities’ endowments.

Last year, DUMAC’s rate of return was an estimated 40 percent. “The DUMAC team has done an outstanding job,” Morton said in a statement. “They’ve generated superior riskadjusted returns for the endowment, and it is my hope to take the organization to the next level. That’s the challenge.” Morton began his career with J.P. Morgan immediately after graduating with honors from Brown in 1978. At J.P.

Compaq donates technology, patents to Pratt School By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Pratt School of Engineering Dean Kristina Johnson may not be Michael Jordan, but she does have her first “three-peat” since taking office in 1999. The school secured its third multi-million dollar gift in late July when Compaq—a Houston-based computer manufacturer—contributed millions of dollars worth of equip-

ment and intellectual property. “It’s really a unique and tremendous opportunity for the School of Engineering because it allows us to take research done by a major corporation [that] we can now continue to develop...,” Johnson said. The dean has been working on the gift since she first arrived at the University in August of 1999. She developed her contacts with Compaq through Colorlink, a private company she founded. The two companies cooperated on several projects during the 19905, and that research relationship helped Johnson ensure Compaq’s contribution.

Keohane Calif. leaves for Medical School dean Come September, Ed Holmes will reunite with his wife on the West Coast By TESSA LYONS The Chronicle

They say he was “geographically vulnerable.” Edward Holmes, dean of the School of Medicine, will be leaving the University in mid-September to take a position at the University of California at San Diego, where he will be closer to his wife, Judith Swain, chair of the department of medicine at Stanford. In a statement to the Board of Trustees, Chancellor for Health Affairs Ralph Snyderman cited the long distance between Holmes and his wife as a key reason for Holmes’ departure: “The burden of cross-country travel to be with his wife... came to be more of a burden than originally anticipated.” At the time he was approached by UC-San Diego, Holmes said that he wasn’t looking to leave. Although he has been solicited by several universities in the past year, there was no sign that he wouldn’t stay until his retirement. Holmes lived in Durham from 1970 to 1991, completing his residency here, then moving on as a Howard Hughes Investigator and later serving as chief of the clinical ward. After working at both the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University, Holmes returned to Duke just more than a year ago. But the allure of new professional horizons—and less time stranded in airports when trying to visit his wife—made the move too tempting, he said.

Beginning this school year, Holmes will be vice chancellor of health affairs and dean of the medical school at UCSan Diego. The position, which is roughly analogous to Snyderman’s here, will give Holmes increased responsibility and a segue back into clinical work. ‘This poses an opportunity for me, from a career point of view, to assume additional responsibilities in areas I enjoy like clinical and academic,” Holmes said. Holmes is also leaving another responsibility—he has been heavily involved in the University’s long-range

planning project—but he said his departure should not affect the planning’s outcome. He said he is confident that the faculty can continue without him. “Duke was here before Ed Holmes; it will be here after him,” he said. President Nan Keohane reluctantly agreed. “Much of the planning for the school has already been done; the final stages can be carried forward by Chancellor Snyderman and other colleagues,” she wrote in an e-mail. “We are truly sorry to lose Dean Holmes, and wish that he were staying longer. He has already had a significant positive impact on the Medical School even in his short tenure here, and will leave things in good shape for his successor.” For the time being, Snyderman will serve as interim dean of the Medical School. A search committee chair has been appointed and the committee will start looking for a

Duke,” Holmes said. “Ralph Snyderman has been a mentor for me. I’ll miss that tremendously.” Holmes also said he will miss the interaction he enjoyed with fellow administrators. He specifically mentioned his increasing interaction with Kristina Johnson, dean of the engineering school, and promising relations with the researchers at the Nicholas School of the Environment.

addresses Class of 2004 The following is an edited text of President Nan Keohane s prepared convocation speech. We can’t predict what changes will occur in each of you as students at Duke over the next four (or three or five) years before you graduate; but we can be sure that you will have a fascinating journey, and that you are likely to become a deeper and more interesting person, with a stronger sense of how you want to make a difference in the world. I’m sure that you are curious about what those years will be like, what you can expect from your Duke experience, and how you can use these first few weeks to ground and prepare yourself to take best advantage of it. Let me provide a few guideposts, and make a few predictions. I will use as my model one of the classic literary accounts of a journey, John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress....” The hero of Bunyan’s 17th-century allegory sets out from his hometown, “the place of all evil,” on what is at times a lonely journey, leaving behind his family and the playthings of his former life in order finally to reach the Celestial City. Along the way he encounters “molestations, troubles, wars, captivities, cries, groans, frights, and fears” but in the end gets to live in company with the Shining Ones and walk in white, like Duke parent Tom Wolfe, author of “A Man in Full.” And See SPEECH on page 30 �

Moeser kicks off his presidential term at UNC From staff and wire reports James Moeser began his tenure as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s ninth chancellor with an Aug. 15 tour of the campus, surveying the facilities of the 207-year-old campus. Moeser will be formally installed as the university’s chancellor on the school’s birthday in October. The Texas native came to UNC from the University of -————

Nebraska, where he also served as chancellor. Throughout

his career as an educator, Moeser has also worked at the University of Kansas, Penn State and University of South Carolina—where he became the first outsider to lead the school. Moeser was selected in April to fill the vacancy created when then-chancellor Michael Hooker died of cancer after serving four years as head of the UNC flagship institution.

Officials involved in converting the old American Tobacco campus downtown into a complex of office, residential and commercial spaces are now waiting for big lease commitments to continue plans, the News and Observer reported last week. Persuasive pitches have already been presented to potential tenants, Capitol Broadcasting Co. officials said. Though the targeted companies are being kept a secret, they may include IBM, Nortel networks, Cisco Systems and Glaxo Wellcome, reported the N&O. Capitol officials said earlier that they needed at least three major anchor tenants to confirm a total of 300,000 feet of space before construction begins. The University has already agreed to occupy 100,000 of the project’s 670,000 square feet of office space.

Orientation for the big kids

Graduate and professional students have their fun before classes start By MARY CARMICHAEL The Chronicle

Convocation wasn’t necessarily in the Chapel this year, orientation included trips to local bars and move-in didn’t take place on East Campus. It’s not just a freshman fantasy. Graduate and professional students have orientation too, and their programming this year was as plentiful as the freshmen’s. The Medical School’s 99 new students, including 16 who graduated from Duke, had the most intense orientation. Three weeks ago, before other graduate students even arrived at Duke, most of the medical students went on a three-day camping trip to the western North Carolina mountains (weary campers also got to relax a bit at the Biltmore Estate), and they’ve also tackled a ropes course and partied at Satisfaction and George’s Garage. “When you’re camping over the weekend and everyone’s getting stinky, it’s hard to put up barriers,” said Javier Mixco, a first-year medical student. “It was a really low-key, relaxed way to ease into things,” he added. For the first time, the Medical School also set up mock patient interviews to CATHY DAVIDSON, vice provost for interdisciplinary studies, speaks at the graduate and professional stuplay out in front ofthe students. “They didn’t want the first day of dent convocation Thursday. Other orientation events included camping, bar-hopping and a family picnic. class to be two hours of biochemistry...

Business students are in class too, but the syllabus for their current course doesn’t last too long: only a

week. The class, which counts for acad-

emic credit, focuses on team-building skills—yes, there’s a ropes course—and lasts until Monday, when the rest of

their classes begin. Before the one-week class started, the 341 Fuqua students had a schedule full of fun—sponsored by Johnson & Johnson—that included a scavenger hunt, a golf tournament and a family picnic complete with a Moonwalk machine for the kids. And finally there are the graduate students, whose classes haven’t begun yet. They met for the first time on Tuesday in a packed Griffith Auditoriumsome of them couldn’t even find seats—to listen to speeches by professors, Associate Dean of the Graduate School Jackie Looney and Graduate and Professional Student Council President Cybelle McFadden. Jo Rae Wright, a professor of cell biology, told them to watch out for road rage—Duke isn’t a very bike-friendly place, she said—and also warned them about the isolation that comes with grad school’s hard work and narrow focus. Fortunately, there’s an outlet: Science grad students have a regular happy hour every Friday at 5 on Research Drive. After the speeches, the students were off to be fed and feted at receptions. But all good things must come to an end. Their classes start Monday.

Man arrested in Hospital for impersonating officer

From staff reports

Earlier this month, Campus Police discovered that a Duke Hospital patient claiming to be a Greensboro police officer was lying, and the department charged him with impersonating an officer, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. At 6 p.m. Aug. 18, the man went to the Hospital’s Emergency Department complaining of back pain. He carried a Greensboro police badge and handcuffs and had a belt around his waist with a holster; he claimed to be Officer David Duncan. When DUPD officials called Greensboro police to arrange for his transportation, officials there denied having an officer by that name. Police then found a CB radio, police scanner, handcuff keys, camouflage binoculars, a parking sticker from the Department of Defense

and other police paraphernalia in the man’s 1992 Mercury Grand L Marquis. They also found his Glock t| model .22-caliber handgun with a filed-off serial number and other police equipment they think he stole from the Arrington Police Distributor in Charlotte. After making these discoveries, officers charged the man—-33-year-old Thomas Manning Hook of 190 SouthOak Dr. in Winston Salem, N.C.—with impersonating an officer, carrying a weapon on campus, resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer, possession of stolen goods and possession of a firearm by a felon. Hook was charged with impersonating an officer in Forsyth County, N.C. in 1997; the charges were dismissed. He was also convicted of possession of a firearm by a felon and of obtaining property by false pretenses in Brunswick earlier this year. He has been placed under a $250,000 secured bond and has a court date set for Sept. 7.

Electronics taken: More than $3,000 in electronic equipment was stolen from Duke Clinic’s purple zone between 8 p.m. Aug. 11 and 8 a.m. Aug. 14, Dean said. Someone took one $BOO Dell Lattitude LM laptop computer, serial number BwBL7; one $BOO Epson lap-

The victims told police that both rooms were believed to be locked at around 8 p.m. Aug. 11, but that they found the doors unlocked at around 8 a.m. Aug. 14. There was no sign of forced entry.

Cash taken: Between 4:45 and 7:45 p.m. Aug. 8 someone stole $93 cash from an employee’s office located on the second floor of the Fuqua School of Business, Dean said. There was no sign of forced entry. Change-thief arrested: At 12.58 a.m. Aug. 14, a DUPD officer observed a man taking $12.07 in loose change from the Duke North lobby fountain, Dean said. After approaching and questioning him, the officer arrested the man, 49-year-old Johnny Burkett, and charged him with possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed razor blade. Since his arrest, Burkett has been placed under a $6OO secured bond and his court date has been set for Sept. 13.

Cars damaged: Between 2 p.m. Aug. 21 and 6:45 a.m. Aug. 22 someone entered a student’s unsecured Plymouth van and caused about $2OO worth of damage while attempting to steal the car, which was parked between Gilbert-Addoms and Blackwell dormitories, Dean said. The perpetrator stole a $2O blue CD case and 12 CDs valued at $2OO. The CD case had “MARK” written on it. Police received a call at 6:45 a.m. Aug. 22 from a student reporting that someone broke into a Cherokee Jeep also parked in the lot between the two dorms. Police contacted the car’s owner when it was discovered that $lOO of damage had been done to the left rear window. Also, a $5O CD case, 73 CDs valued at $2OO, a $5O olive green bookbag and four textbooks were taken. Dean said the perpetrator apparently tried to steal the vehicle because the owner's spare key, which he left in the center compartment, was found in the ignition. Dean said the two crimes may be related.

Numbers show drop in campus crime Student convicted of sex charges By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle Although the number of crimes committed on campus or at the Medical Center remained above 2,000 in 1999, the figure—compared to 1998—is relatively low; According to statistics released by the Duke University Police Department, the number of crime reports dropped 14 percent in 1999, from

By TESSA LYONS The Chronicle In a court HILLSBOROUGH hearing Monday, junior Thomas

2,472 to 2,120. “Overall we noticed the number of crimes being reported were down on campus,” said Maj. Sarah Minnis of DUPD. “All departments [in North Carolina] are reporting a reduction in criminal activity.... We’re right in there with the trends.” The decline was most concentrated in incidents oftraffic violations and disorderly conduct. After a 645 percent jump in traffic violations in 1998 that brought the number to 213, the number fell to 152 in 1999. Minnis said a heavy effort to enforce the law forbidding left turns from Flowers Drive to Erwin Road likely accounted for the jump in 1998; in 1999, she said, she hoped people had learned their lesson. However, Minnis had no explanation for the drop in disorderly conduct incidents, which fell from 80 in 1998 to 21 in 1999. Despite the significant declines in those two areas, several others did have increases. DWI violations, for example, jumped from three in 1998 to 17 in 1999. “It’s hard to say [why the number went up],” Minnis said. “We have been doing more enforcement. The officers are more attentive to that.” The statis-

Jones was convicted of a class-one misdemeanor of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ruling was a result of an April 26 sexual encounter with a 14-year-old Orange county female. Jones was initially charged with statutory offense, a felony under North Carolina law. After consultation with the victim’s family and the defense, the state agreed to a lesser charge. Under the plea, Jones will serve two years of supervised probation. If he violates the terms of his probation, he could be held under a 45-day jail sentence. In her recommendation to the judge, District Attorney Kayley Taber recounted the events leading to the criminal activity: After communicating with the victim online for several days, Jones arranged to meet the girl shortly after midnight on April 26. Jones met the girl outside her house at the designated time and drove her a short distance from her house, where they sat in the car and talked. See JONES on page 29

ROSS MONTANTE/THE CHRONICLE

SOURCE: DUKE UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPERATMENT

tics also show significantly more instances of larcenies and burglaries, but Minnis attributed the rise to a new computer program police used to calculate the numbers. Although the number of larcenies jumped from 624 to 755 and the figure for burglaries climbed from 30 to 93, Minnis explained that in the past, only the most serious crime on an individual police report was included in the statistics. Now, however, all crimes are included in the report. “It’s a truer representation of the types of crimes because most people don’t commit just one,” she said. There were no reports of sexual offenses in 1999 but Minnis said this reflects only the number of police reports, ■

and does not include reports to University officials. Stephanie Wilenchek, director of Duke’s sexual assault support services, said the number of reports to her division had not changed significantly in the last two and a half years. “Some people don’trespond to the police so their statistics will fluctuate,” Wilenchek said. “Some years there might be a small increase or a small decrease. It just depends on who’s reporting.” Each year, DUPD compiles a report which categorizes crimes into 35 areas. The report is sent to the North Carolina Division ofCriminal Information, which in turn sends the information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Israeli prime minister warns of possible left-right coalition Barak suggests unity with the Likud Party if peace talks collapse

Prune Minister -amr Ehud Barak said Thursday that if peace ul

talks with the Palestinians failed, he was prepared within “a few weeks” to invite Israels conservative opposition to join in broad government of “na-

tmnal unity. P°ja W S immediatel y rejectu!1 Pr?eader i opposition Likud, a•i cu Anel Sharon, a hawkish former general, who was suggested by Barak as a possible foreign minister in a coalition government. But it was widely perceived as a warning to the Palestinians that if they fail to break the negotiating deadlock soon, they may ultimately be confronted with a government far less amenable to compromise on central issues of territory and Jerusalem. The proposal was also seen as a warning to Orthodox religious parties that have quit Barak’s coalition in protest over the peace negotiations. ,

The Israeli leader, in two radio interviews, coupled his proposal for a goveming alliance between his Labor Party and Likud—an uneasy left-right coalition that Israel last saw in the late 1980s—with a challenge to Sharon, the Likud leader, to prove Likud’s credentials as a secular party and join him in such a “civic revolution.” Barak’s plan to challenge the entrenched power of ultra-Orthodox groups, and even of more moderate Jewish institutions, stunned Israelis when he unveiled it last weekend. “The Likud, under Ariel Sharon’s leadership, is certainly a natural partner to this social and civil agenda,”

Federal judge plans to release accused Los Alamos spy on bail By SUE HOLMES Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A federal judge Thursday agreed to release for-

mer Los Alamos- scientist Wen Ho Lee on $1 million bail while he awaits trial

for mishandling US. nuclear secrets. Lee, 60, had twice before been denied bail. U.S. District Judge James Parker relented after a hearing in which Lee’s lawyers cast doubt on the solidity of the government’s case and just how sensitive the nuclear material involved was. “I conclude that there now is a combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the appearance of Dr. Lee as required and the safety of the community and the nation,” Parker said. Lee was not immediately released. The judge set a hearing for Tuesday on the conditions ofhis release.

Under the judge’s proposal, the Taiwanese-born scientist would be required to remain at his White Rock home under surveillance at most times, and all of his telephone calls and mail could be inspected. He could leave only in the company of at least one of his lawyers and would be required to report by telephone twice a day to the federal court. The only other person who could live there would be his wife, Sylvia Lee, but his children could come for visits prearranged with authorities. Mrs. Lee could leave the home only after notifying authorities of where she was going and why, as well as when she planned to be back. In addition, law enforcement agents would be allowed to search her both before and after her trip.

Financial aid becomes focus as Bush, Gore compare plans �

EDUCATION from page 2

cent Hispanic—and at least half of them are low-income students who qualify for Pell grants. “We don’t have large endowments. We can’t charge students who come to us the tuition they ought to be paying,” said Norman Francis, president of Xavier University. He estimated that students pay about only half the cost of their educations at most historically black colleges. “Without the assistance in the student financial aid and the institutional aid, we would have to raise our tuition and we’d cut out students,” Francis said. He noted that only twice before has Congress boosted the institutional aid to black colleges—in 1890 and most recently in 1965 “at the urging of another Texan, Lyndon Baines Johnson.” US. Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okla., who helps oversee funding for black colleges,

joined university officials in praising Bush for offering to seek the funds. “Obviously there’s always more that can be done,” he said. Jodie Jiles of Houston, secretary of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and a graduate of Texas Southern University, hailed Bush’s pro-

posal. He said Bush has already shown support for minorities in Texas—by keeping TSU independent and approving increased funding for both TSU and Prairie View A&M University. “The governor’s record in Texas for support of historically black colleges is outstanding,” Jiles said. “We’ve put a number of buildings on the historically black colleges throughout the state of Texas.” A second Bush appointee also endorsed the plan. University of Texas regent Raul Romero of Houston said Bush increased minority scholarships by 300

percent and lowered the cost of taking Advanced Placement tests. The $l,OOO in extra funds for Pell Grant recipients should be a huge help, he said. “That is the catalyst that will make this program be very, very successful,” Romero said. “I’m really delighted to see that the governor has the vision to invest in our communities.” Gore, on a campaign stop at the University of Maryland in College Park, said his plan would include a tax-free saving program to help parents save for the increasing costs of higher education. In his speech to about 1,000 people packed into an outdoor amphitheater, Gore said his tuition proposal would allow families to claim either a credit or a tax deduction of 28 percent on up to $lO,OOO in tuition and fees for any postsecondary education, including college and vocational training schools. Gore’s staff said most families with a

child in college would be able to claim the full $2,800 credit. “It is time to make the largest investment in education since the G.I. bill,” Gore told an audience that included students, union members and Democratic activists.

Gore’s proposal also would involve a new “401(j)” provision to which workers

and their employers could contribute just as they do for 401(k) retirement accounts. Invested earnings could be withdrawn tax-free if used for any education expenses.

Gore also proposed a national tuition savings plan that would link tax-free savings initiatives started in some states to allow parents to begin saving for their children’s education from birth. Under Gore’s proposal, existing state programs would be linked into a national program, and states without them would be encouraged to join.

Mexican president-elect promotes open border during U.S. visit � FOX from page 2 “Mexico’s commitment to the future has changed, and our responsibility is to take all this positive energy to go forth,” Fox told reporters at the National Press Club. He described his meetings with Clinton and Gore and also with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as “extremely positive, extremely friendly and extremely useful.” A towering man who has towered over Mexican politics since his election on July 2, Fox received a warm

welcome in Washington. During his opposition presidential campaign, the Fox camp accused both Gore and Bush of snubbing his overtures for meetings while agreeing to see representatives of his ruling party opponent.

Aides to Fox said the alleged snub prompted the president-elect not to take congratulatory phone calls from Gore and Bush after the July 2 election until each had tried to reach him several times. Aides to Gore and Bush denied at the time any intention to snub Fox. Gore praised Fox Thursday as a man with “big ideas, very large ideas.” Bush, traveling from Austin to New Orleans, saw him as “an interesting man, a big

strong man, a charismatic fellow.” He predicted a “good long-term relationship” with Fox should Bush prevail in November. But Bush was less kind in his assessment of Fox’s proposal for the eventual opening of the U.S.-Mexican border.

“I don’t think he’s fully explained open borders,” Bush said. “As you know, I believe we ought to enforce our borders.” He said he will reinforce that point in a speech Friday before his meeting with Fox. He added that the Mexican leader has been sending mixed signals on the issue. From the Democratic side, reservations about Fox’s plan also were voiced but in less abrasive terms. Leon Fuerth, Gore’s national security adviser, said that Gore, during his meeting with Fox, found aspects of Fox’s open border proposals to be “very problematic” for the United States. Gore listened respectfully to Fox’s ideas and pointed out that implementation of the plans would take 25 to 30 years, Fuerth said.

FRIDAY, AVGVST; 25, 2000,

The Chronicle Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Safety first The first weekend of a semester should be an enjoyable experience, not a disaster At most universities, the first weekend of the semester usually means one thing—partying. And at Duke, partying has come to mean one thing—alcohol. However, students planning to throw back a drink this weekend

ought to heed the advice of Polonius and proceed with caution and moderation. During the 1999-2000 academic year, 44 Duke students spent one of their evenings in the emergency room suffering from an alcoholrelated illness. Over 70 percent of those incidents involved first-year students. But the dangers of excessive drinking extend to upperclassmen as well—last year, Duke lost a junior to alcohol-related illness. This Friday and Saturday night will likely bring welcome-back drinks for three-quarters of the undergrads and welcome-aboard drinks for the incoming freshmen. It is important to develop a sense ofcommunity with fellow classmates. A weekend party —thrown by a fraternity or another campus organization—is a great way to go about this induction. But the sense of community needs to extend past the keg. From at the beginning of the night to the end, Duke students need to look out for their fellow Blue Devils. Most safety guidelines are well-known, but judging by last year’s 44 trips to the ER, it seems they are still largely unheeded. Students should not let people drive while intoxicated or drink alone. If a student is clearly drunk, someone should stay with him to protect him from himself as well as from others who might take advantage of him. This is especially true for freshmen. Freshman hallmates may not yet be best friends—they may never hang out again—but still, they need to look out for each other. Also, fear of punishment for underage drinking should not deter someone from calling the police if they feel a friend is sick. The University has an amnesty clause—if a student is sick from alcohol and the student with them is also intoxicated, they will not be punished for notifying the police or making a trip to the hospital. Students should use this policy if they need to, but not abuse it, either. These safety concerns are not exclusive to the dangers of alcohol. While Durham can be an exciting and enjoyable community, it does have one of the ten highest per-capita crime rates in the United States. This problem is sometimes evident in the neighborhoods around East Campus, and students travelling around those areas should do so in groups, especially at night. Look out for each other from the bus stop to the dormitory door. If you find yourself in trouble, do not hesitate to use an emergency phone. Also, there are indoor “safe havens” on both East and West Campuses that offer a secure environment. At the end of the night, if the buses have stopped running, students can call Safe Rides for transportation back to their dorms at 684-SAFE. College is supposed to be some of the best years of our lives. Being cautious and using moderation will help make that maxim true.

The Athletic Director sells out football fans for cash As a loyal Duke fan, I felt it to be my duty to speak my mind about what Athletic Director Joe Alieva has done to the Duke fans by not allowing the Duke-Eastern Carolina University football game to be televised. For those of us who can’t be at the game, I find Alieva’s action to not allow the game to be on TV a very bad decision on his part. I can agree that from his point of view this is a very smart business move but

from a fans point of view this is a shot below the belt. Not only has he deprived the fans of seeing this game on TV he also left the fans high and dry last year when we had a chance to see Duke football face off against Florida State University when he sold the game site away. I do understand that the Athletic Department requires funds to be successful, but it also requires fans to support them.

As long as Alieva continues to see this as a business and insists on seeing dollar signs and not fans, I won’t step foot in the football stadium. I think that Mr. Alieva was way out of line to ask ECU to pay the difference at the gate if it doesn’t sell out if they wanted TV coverage. It isn’t ECU’s job to fill the stadium. Joey

This new study bolsters an earlier, After all, there is a real reason for putting the Bt gene into corn: deterring flawed study. Critics of these new findings, however, continue to note that corn worms, which consume a billion

dollars worth of corn every year, while at the same time eliminating the need to spray vast quantities of insecticide. And there are many other good things that transgenic organisms can bring to the world. Monsanto has developed a GM rice that expresses a beta-carotene gene, thereby making it an excellent source of vitamin A. They’re going to give away (yes, give away) the licenses to “golden rice” to third world nations whose primary starch source is rice; among other benefits, this is expected to eliminate vitamin A-deficiency blindness in millions of children worldwide. But still, here in the US, there has been remarkably little public discussion of the issues surrounding GM plants and animals, and that must change. Because, for better or worse, the technology is here. In the agricultural “green revolution” of the 1970’5, new

variations of traditional plant breeding prevented the starvation of millions. Similarly, the more precise and powerful transgenic techniques promise great advances in the quality of both human life and the environment. But sooner or later, something bad will happen, or someone will attempt something ethically dubious.The biotech community then will be lumped together on the receiving end of very bad press, if not outright public rejection. These technologies must be seen and accepted for what they truly are—tools that, like any other, are of great potential use, but imperfect, and requiring

balanced consideration before and during any particular use.

So consider this column to be, if nothing else, a starting point for a necessary discussion. Edward Benson is a Durham resident.

Clash of the populists Guest Commentary Dave McNeely His daddy taught school before going to Congress, Democrat A1 Gore told the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles last week. His mom worked her way through law school waitressing. ‘When I visit a school and see a hard-working teacher trying to change the world one child at a time, I see the face of my father,” Gore said. “When I see a waitress working hard and thanking someone for a tip, I see the face of my mother. “And I know: For that waitress carrying trays or a construction worker in the winter cold, I will never agree to raise the retirement age to 70 or threaten the promise of Social Security. It’s not fair to them, and I won’t do it.” He’ll stand up to “big tobacco, big oil, the big polluters, the pharmaceutical companies, the HMOs.” It’s about populism, stupid. We the people against the powerful. Texas Gov. George W Bush to the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia: “In Midland, Texas, where I grew up, the town motto was The Sky’s the Limit.’ And we believed it. There was a restless energy, a basic conviction that, with hard work, everybody could succeed and everybody deserved a chance. “Our sense of community was just as strong as that sense of promise. Neighbors helped each other. There were dry wells and sandstorms to keep you humble, life-

long friends to take your side and churches to remind us that every soul is equal in value and equal in need. “This background leaves... an outlook. Optimistic. Impatient with pretense. Confident that people can chart their own course in life.” Gore and Bush didn’t mention their Harvard degrees. Both want to identify with as many up-fromthe-dirt Americans as possible—because whoever does it best wins. The late Lee Atwater, who directed former President George Bush’s successful presidential campaign in 1988, thought a populist message was critical. Atwater said after the election he was glad Democrat Michael Dukakis didn’t hit a populist theme until the final two weeks. “Had they developed that theme at the [Democratic National] convention [in July] rather than spending

the entire time denigrating George Bush, they would’ve probably done a lot better,” Atwater said. He believed a populist message worked best on the swing vote between the parties. ‘The Democrats have always got to nail Republicans as the party of the fat cats, the party of upper class and privilege. And the Democrats will maintain that they’re the party of the common man. “The Republicans, of course, argue that the

Democrats are the party 0f... the Harvard elite liberals who are not in touch with the mainstream of the coun-

try,” Atwater said. “I grew up managing 20 state campaigns in the South, and in every one of them, when we hit that [populist] theme properly, we won.” George W. Bush officed near Atwater during that 1988 campaign. By 1992, Atwater was dead of cancer. And President Bush lost re-election to a populiststyled campaign by Bill Clinton and A1 Gore. Karl Rove introduced Atwater to the elder Bush in 1973. Rove is now George W.’s closest adviser. Atwater, Rove said, would say A1 Gore’s anti-big business approach is “pinched populism.” Atwater thought “elitist big government that looks down on the attitudes of ordinary people was the most vulnerable object of

populist discontent.” Bush, Rove said, believes that “people have less confidence in the answers from Washington, but more in answers that come from family, community, church, neighborhood and local institutions of government.” Bush has charged Gore with engaging in “class warfare.” But Gore, who has jabbed Bush as a lackey of the powerful, seems unworried his own proposals on behalf of“working families” will be read negatively. “He feels that his positions are those that are on the side of working families,” said Gore spokesperson Maria Meier. “And he’s willing to talk in detail about his plans for health care, shoring up Social Security, providing targeted tax cuts, putting prescription drugs under Medicare. And those are the things that people care about the most.” So who’s the better populist? Let the people decide Dave McNeely’s column is syndicated by Cox Newspapers.

(B Sexy costumes and breathtaking visuals can’t save the underwritten script of the latest Jennifer Lopez thriller.

by Greg Bloom

Perhaps

the most ambitious and eccentric of this summer's suspense fare, The Cell is a disappointing case study in style overpowering substance. A by-the-book hunt for a serial killer and his hidden victims, The Cell's only intriguing twist is a detour into the killer's malevolent subconscious. The film suffers from an undernewcomer is GRADE 1 written scri P t that concurrently overdirected by MTV video Tarsem Singh. You can almost imagine the former w director standing like a carney outside his dilapidated directent, thirsty for attention and recognition above the ranks of the tor's seedy music-video circus. But unlike the genuine article discovered in freakshow Spike Jonze, who translated music-video ingenuity into bigscreen gold, Singh sticks to the visceral whiz-bang trickery of MTV only to neglect real-movie basics —starting with the plot. What there is of it revolves around a detective (Vince Vaughn) and a psychologist/lab rat/hottie (Jennifer Lopez) zapping themselves into the brooding, volatile inner mind of a comatose sicko (a dopey and wasted Vincent D'Onofrio). Singh paints brilliantly haunting landscapes of the deserts and caverns of the subconscious’; several of the scenes are arresting in their surreal, dreamlike intensity. However, while Singh sustains this creepy, suspenseful mood throughout the film, he's never able to cash in on it. The Silence of the Lambs fueled more nightmares through just a handful of scenes with Anthony Hopkins and a glass plate than this entire shlep through Jennifer in Wackoland can ever hope for *

There's some weird stuff going on here, but what it amounts to is simplistic: the murderer's inner child struggling against the inner demon, searching for redemption in Lopez, the guardian angelA/irgin Mary. For all its creepy gloom and evil preening, the subconscious is never

realized as a living, organic realm, and this Cell is thus left empty it may be a little discomforting, but it's not genuinely disturbing like the truly innovative and exhilarating romp —

through John Malkovich's dreamscape in Being John Malkovich. Lopez seems most out of place. Her subtlety, surprisingly effective in the smooth Out of Sight. translates into just plain bad acting amidst The Cell's loud surroundings. In her defense, though, the role was fluffed from the start by an underdeveloped script—the most interesting thing her character does is walk around at home in scanties smoking a joint. Lopez looks good in these costumes, but what she wears to award

ceremonies is ten times more interesting.

You still want to watch an egotistical director fling his stuff at the wall to see what sticks? Bring a Discman to the theater, put on some Nine Inch Nails and enjoy the show,

NOW THATS WHAT WE CALL A COSTUME: Jennifer Lopez doesn't wear this dress in The Cell. But it's still a nice thought.

Tell someone that The Cell isn’t the only thing that stinks...

JUST A TIP. SURVIVORS: You should never, ever go without shirts.

Ever wished people would tell you what they really think? Whether it's the out-of-control nose hairs of that filthy second cousin or a friend's less-than-fragrant personal bouquet, giving personal criticism the old-fashioned way can be tough. There are always problems of tact and the potential for crying, not to mention the possibility of getting fired for really letting your boss have it. A new web site called Just A Tip (www.justatip.com) lets you put someone in their place the Internet way: with anonymous, painless and unusually polite e-mails. Founded this summer by Duke students Alex Sundstrom and Howard Lerman along with two Princeton counterparts, the site stocks a surprisingly vast repository of quibbles, from telling someone they're a bad co-worker to letting a friend know exactly what their crotch smells like. Think your buddy needs to lay off the donuts? You can not only specify which of their body parts you find a little fugly, but even suggest which foods they're overindulging in. If your mate is miserable in bed (or actually, between "somewhat bad" and "pretty much the worst ever," as per your selection), you can politely chastise them for their lack of enthusiasm or minor-league member,

as well as threaten them with the old heave-ho. Our personal fave was the option to tell someone their dream will die. From the comfort of your computer, you can axe budding Bill Gateses or Eddie Van Halens with swift dispatch, hopefully saving them the

trouble of their pointless efforts. Justatip's best feature—or greatest limitation—is its impersonal style. Beyond selecting the specifics of the person's problem (such as the number of times per day they pass gas), you can't get truly descriptive because the site doesn't let you include a personal message. Considering that you may be telling someone their hair smells or that they "do not adequately place the 'bop' in 'bop sha bop sha bop,"' it's probably just as well that the petty misanthropy doesn't give you a chance to use an identifiable personal style. If you're worried that all this anonymous meanness will be unproductive, Justatip has the answer for that, too —you can send the offender a "solution kit" such as a brush and tube of hair gel. And you thought the letters section of The Chronicle was the ultimate venue for whining. —By Jonas Blank

Israeli opposition party balks at possible coalition with Barak p- ISRAEL from page 13

Barak said in an interview with Israel radio. He added; “I call on the Likud people to lend a shoulder to this march—they are people who, just like you and me, want security and peace and a proper civil society On this issue we are in the same boat.” Sharon has said he opposes every major component of a peace deal that President Bill Clinton put forward and Barak tentatively accepted at the recent summit meeting at Camp David. The deal included a compromise on Jerusalem and an Israeli withdrawal from 90 percent ofthe West Bank, including the strategic Jordan Valley. The Likud leader has also rejected the proposal to reduce the power of the Jewish religious establishment, calling it a political stunt that goes far beyond anything most Israelis would accept. In rejecting Barak’s proposals, Sharon said that the prime minister should accept “his failures,” including the Camp David collapse and the disintegration of Barak’s majority in the Israeli parliament, and bow to an early election—an event many Israelis believe would put Barak at a disadvantage because he might be forced to defend the controversial concessions offered at Camp David without the countervailing benefit of a final peace to offer voters. “Given his numerous concessions, particularly on Jerusalem, and his failures on the domestic scene, there is no place for us in the Barak government,” Sharon said. In making these proposals, Barak appeared to have staged a high-risk political raid, one aimed at breaking the mold of current Israeli politics and reversing the tables on his domestic opponents—all apparently without consulting most of his closest political associates.

The surprise and uncertainty about Barak’s mo-

tives were all the greater for the fact that it was only 15 months ago that he won a landslide victory in Israel’s first direct election contest for the post of prime minister. That event, coupled with Barak’s forging of the broad One Israel coalition that united parties of the left, center and right, raised widespread hopes among Israel’s 5.9-million people, tired by the controversy and combativeness of the previous prime minister, Benyamin Natanyahu, that Israel might be in for a period of greater political stability. As Israelis struggled to absorb Barak’s moves, two views prevailed, reflecting the increasingly sharp divide among Israelis over Barak. One, put forward by Sharon and his Likud associates, was that Barak is “flailing about” for more promising political ground as he sees his peace bid foundering, and seeking by any

Hcm/, Q

means to avoid an election he would be far from certain of winning. The other, favored by Israelis who badly want a peace agreement, and by those who have exhausted their patience with the power of ultra-Orthodox Jews, was that Barak had come up with a onetwo knockout punch that at a stroke put him back into ' the driver’s seat of Israeli politics. In this view, Barak, with his warning of an early Likud alliance, maximized whatever slim chance there might be of reaching an early peace agreement with Arafat, and prepared a political fallback position in the event that no peace pact is forthcoming. Likud, Barak’s supporters said, would have to be wary of entering an election in which Barak could present himself as the weary battler for what he has called “a brave peace,” and as the first Israeli prime minister ready to confront the Jewish religious es-

tablishment head-on.

UNION from page 1 pled the final barrier to letting Duke Hospital’s 2,400 nurses vote on whether they wish to join the Local 465 �

AFL-CIO labor organization. “September is out of the question but we may have an election in the first two weeks of October,” said lUOE representative David Miller, adding that the official date must be set by the NLRB. There can be no election until the 60-day posting period on the settlement notice expires in early October. In the settlement, the NLRB offers no judgment on the unfair practices, and Duke admits no wrongdoing. However, Howard Neidig, assistant to the NLRB’s regional director, confirmed that the board would have issued a complaint, and thereby pursued the IlJOE’s accusations, had there been no settlement at all. He explained that the National Labor Relations Act focuses on ways to correct committed wrongs. “In this case, that would have amounted to what was obtained in the settlement agreement,” he said, adding that Duke administrators were informed that the NLRB planned to issue a complaint regarding some parts of the charges. Miller said these types of settlements are common in unionization attempts. ‘The benefits of the scare tactic greatly outweigh the penalty for it,” he said, arguing that Duke lost little face by having to post the notices. Nurses’ opinions continue to differ regarding unionization. Union supporters say filing the unfair labor practices was away of both protecting the integrity of the labor act and sending Duke a message that it must follow the law. But anti-union nurses say the unfair practices were an inappropriate delay tactic. News of the settlement came as about 12 pro-union nurses picketed in front of the McGovem-Davison Children’s Health Center. The picket drew several supportive honks from passers-by but also prompted a letter to the Duke Dialogue from 23 nurses discouraging the picket because it could negatively affect patients.

Honor council chair urges freshmen to sign honor code

CONVOCATION from page 3 dudes the first female to win a National Chess Championship—and she did so when she was only in the third grade. Another freshman addressed the United Nations at its 50th anniversary celebration

and also produces punk and ska concerts. Concluding the convocation was a speech by sophomore Melissa Walker, chair of the honor council, who introduced the class of 2004 to the honor code and stressed its importance.

She reminded the class that the honor code was adopted by the student body—not the administration —in 1993. Walker asked the students to take part in and contemplate the University’s first-ever honor-code signing, which

Keohane cites Bunyan’s book to describe frosh experience SPEECH from page 6 he makes quite a lot of friends along the way. Bunyaris hero was called Christian; to make him relevant to your own multi-dimensional class, I will call our pilgrim Chris—which could be short for Christian, Christopher or indeed Christine. During the summer before he arrived at Duke, our pilgrim checked in often with the Class of 2004 web site, where he followed discussion threads about FOCUS courses, Project WELD, bands, proposed partying and a whole lot more. In ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,” Christian’s closest companion is named Hopeful; well call Chris’ roommate Joey—he’s sometimes hopeful, but not always, just like most of us. Chris and Joey’s class is the first to engage in our new curriculum in Trinity College. As you’ve all discovered by now, the curriculum includes foreign language and cultural studies, which is more than a nod toward globalization—it can be a way to rewire your habits of thought. Professor Alice Kaplan, who directs Duke’s new Institute for French and Francophone Studies, talks in one of her books about learning French: “It’s violent being thrown into a new language and having to make your way,” she writes.... But being violently thrown around isn’t very comfortable. And even though Chris thought he was eager and ready for Duke, he soon finds himself somewhat confused and, against all his expectations, a bit homesick.... Chris quickly understands why we stress the importance of a balanced body and mind, of educating the whole person. As someone who loves to play racquetball, he soon finds his way to the Wilson Rec Center, right across Towerview on the athletic quad.... >

Just outside Wilßec is the grassy lawn that we call Krzyzewski-ville, after our legendary men’s basketball coach. K-ville comes equipped with traditional Duke lampposts with ethernet connections, so that students can “rough it” while tenting for tickets Bunyan’s pilgrim pointed out to one of his own companions that “the body without the soul is but a dead carcass and our student, too, will foster religio as well as eruditio to help stay lively and in tune with the universe. (In case you didn’t catch that allusion, “eruditio et religio” is the Duke motto). Chris discovers not only the uses of tolerance but the outright joy of celebrating diversity—quite literally, as Joey invites him to great Kosher dinners at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life on Campus Drive, which is open to, and used, by everybody, making Jewish life and culture familiar to all. Besides his occasional visits to the Chapel, sometimes to sit and listen to the exquisite organ music and sometimes to sit and listen to the silence, Chris applies himself spiritually by tutoring a local school kid as part of Duke’s Neighborhood Partnership Initiative.... However, Chris is no saint, and very shortly after he arrives here, he makes his way to Vanity Fair, where all kinds of enjoyments are available, both legit and forbidden. He has a great time—Duke parties are deservedly famous. However, Chris is a pretty sensible guy. After he spends a couple of nights worrying about one of his friends, called Pliable, who gets into binge drinking, he can understand why his advisers talk so much about the alcohol policy. He and Joey have to clean up after Pliable gets very sick in their room. They take turns wak”

ing up in the night to make sure that Pliable is sleeping on his side, so he won’t choke on his own vomit; they worry about whether they should take him to the emergency r00m.... Duke is an intentionally diverse community, and our efforts to recruit a multicultural student body, faculty and staff go far beyond historical imperatives of affirmative action and even beyond moral responsibility: Solid scholarly research has shown that economic, religious, racial, geographic and cultural diversity enriches the education that all students receive much better than does a homogenous mix

During their journey, Chris and his classmates spend a good deal of their time in cyberspace. New instructional technologies enrich all parts of the curriculum: virtual labs, virtual journeys through the world’s great museums and archeological sites, databases in every area..., simulations ofall kinds of situations relevant to a budding social scientist. E-mail flies regularly from professors to students. The library is the central axis for all of this virtual learning, giving new meaning to its historic role at the heart of the University. You should make a point of entering the actual library soon, on your realtime feet. Both Lilly, on East Campus, and Perkins, on West, are veritable treasurehouses of fascinating information.... In the end, after all his journeying, Chris will have made his way to the Celestial City, where the men and women who enter at the gate are transfigured by new robes and mortarboards, and, in Bunyan’s words, “All the bells in the city rang again for joy.” That, of course, would be the carillon in the Chapel tower. Chris

and Joey both make their destination successfully, watching sadly as one of their companions, Ignorance, who tried to take an easy shortcut to the Celestial City, is denied admission at the end. They shake an administrator’s hand and receive their degrees at last. But here is where we must depart from our text. When our students finish, we will send them back out again from the Celestial City to regenerate the world; a world that is always in the process of being recreated, from which our students come and to which our students return. And I would also point out that you don’t have to wait until graduation to become aware that this “Gothic Wonderland” has some ofthe features of a Celestial City of its own. The stone of the buildings on this campus makes them as sturdy and serviceable as the education one gets within them; yet I like to think that that stone does not so much confine as liberate the minds and lives it touches. The buildings themselves may be beautiful, but they are nothing compared to the spirit that inhabits them. And the institution that will engage your full powers of intellect, and which you will in turn help refine, is a work for the ages. You are taking your place in the continuum of human history, joining a long line of men and women who have preceded you and who will follow you at Duke. You are the product of everything and everyone that has come before, and the choices you make will determine what happens next—here at the University, and in the w0r1d.... I honor our contemporary pilgrim, the energy and potential he brings, and with my young friend Chris, I salute you all. Welcome to your new University.

Keohane a power in the ivory towers HARVARD RUMORS from page 3 tion in May, Keohane was pegged as a top candidate to replace him. In a July 14 article, The Boston Globe reported Keohane as a front-runner, and from Europe to North Carolina, lists of top prospects and rumors have circulated that Keohane is ready to leave for “the Duke of the North.” But in an interview this week, Keohane said Harvard search committee members have never contacted her and that she has no interest in leaving the University. “I’m not interested in moving,” she said. “I made a commitment to a lot of people that I want to stay through the campaign. I am also quite intrigued by a couple of things we have going on in our planning exercises.” Keohane’s success at Duke and Wellesley College, where she was president for 12 years before coming to the University in 1993, has made her a top candidate for nearly every major administrative search in academia over the past few years. After then-Stanford President Gerhard Casper stepped down last September, many experts expected Keohane to flee to Duke’s west coast counterpart; Keohane taught at Stanford from 1973 to 1981 and chaired the senate of its academic council. But Keohane said she was never approached for the position and only met with a few search committee members to advise them on trends in higher education. And Harvard seems to have had Keohane in its sights for several years, too. Keohane’s husband Robert, James B. Duke professor of political science, was a Harvard professor until 1996. Last October, The Harvard Crimson reported her as the top candidate for the first permanent dean of the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study, a $350 million endowment that Harvard officials hope will be a world-renowned center for learning. In many other top administrative searches around the nation, universities have begun focusing on hiring women. And among current top administrators, let alone women administrators, Keohane may be the most successful and prominent. “There’s somebody who not only is experienced in a very highly regarded university but experienced at the presidential level,” said Jean Dowdall, vice president ofA.T. Kearney Executive Search, a firm that conducts and advises major searches. “Her name comes up so often because Duke is so prominent and because she has been so successful. She has been a successful president of two very prominent, very different institutions.” Still, Keohane said: “I have the highest respect for Harvard, but it’s not the job for me.”

All-American leaves Duke after 2 years

Beth Bauer, a member of the 1999 national championship team, strives to make the LPGA tour By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle Instead of moving back to campus with the rest of her

Blue Devil teammates, Beth Bauer is trying to move herself into the LPGA. Two weeks after announcing that she will forego her final two years of eligibility at Duke, Bauer joined two of her former teammates, Jenny Chuasiriporn and Amie Lehman, in Venice, Fla. at the annual LPGA Qualifying Sectional Tournament. The three women shared only one season at Duke, when Bauer slowly but surely dethroned three-time AllAmerican Chuasiriporn as the Blue Devils’ most dominant player. Duke’s flashy freshman finished all but one tournament tied or ahead of Chuasiriporn during the 1999 campaign, a run that culminated in the program’s first national championship when Bauer outshot her elder team-

mate once again. Fifteen months later, it was more of the same as Bauer inched ever closer to her LPGA dreams by shooting a 69 in Wednesday’s second round at the Plantation Golf Club. The top 30 finishers following today’s round will advance to the LPGA Tour’s Final Qualifying Tournament in October. While Lehman finished Wednesday tied for 67th and Chuasiriporn wound up in a tie for 10th, Bauer tallied one of only three marks in the 60s to position herself fourth overall with a two-day total of 142.

Ewing commits to Blue Devils Collins returns to � The versatile shooting guard gives the Blue Devils a potentially deadly backcourt trio in 2001-02 and breaks Roy Williams’ heart in the process. By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

backcourt player turning increasingly to Mt. Vernon, N.Y. native Ben Gordon, it looked to many like Ewing would have to play ball elsewhere. But as July progressed, Gordon, who has since committed verbally to Jim Calhoun at Connecticut, slipped below Ewing on Duke’s wish list. And so when the Blue Devils offered Ewing a scholarship for 2001, his response certainly didn’t surprise anyone, except perhaps a

smitten Williams. “I knew that if he got the opportunity to go play there that he would decide to go to Duke,” said Ronnie Courtney, Ewing’s basketball coach at Willowridge High School. Ewing’s interest in Duke first became mutual when the coaching staff watched him play Memorial Day weekend at the annual Bob Gibbons Tournament the verge of accepting Roy of Champions in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

coaching family that currently exists in Chapel Hill, the Duke coaching family tree is alive and growing. On July 21, Duke assistant coach David Henderson replaced former Blue Devil assistant Mike Brey as head coach at the University of Delaware, after Brey was hired as the new coach of Notre Dame. This chain of events

prompted former Duke guard and then Seton Hall assistant coach Chris Collins to take Henderson’s place in the Duke coaching staff. Needless to say, Collins was elated about his new job. “It’s always a dream to be able to coach at your alma mater,” Collins said. “For Coach K to think highly enough of me to bring me back and instill some of the things that I’ve learned from my life in basketball and from the Duke program is special.” However, leaving his mentor, former Duke assistant and current Seton Hall head coach Tommy Amaker, was difficult for Collins. “Any time you leave something you’ve put so much of yourself into, it’s always tough to say goodbye,” Collins said. “This was just the opportunity of a lifetime to come back here.

UNC releases Parker after SAT doubts From staff and wire reports Charlotte native Jason Parker has given up his longtime dream of wearing Tar Heel blue. One year after signing the 6-foot-8, 265-pound power forward to a basketball scholarship, a disappointed North Carolina coaching staff regrettably urged the two-time high school player of the year to attend junior college. They then released him from his commitment to play for the Tar Heels when Parker declined to attend junior college, his father said. North Carolina officials released a statement 10 days ago that said Parker would not attend the school. ‘Due to the Family Rights and Privacy Act, the University will not be able to disclose any of the details regarding Jason Parker’s situation,” UNC athletics director Dick Baddour said. “We will only be able to acknowledge that Jason will not be enrolling at the University of North Carolina. Our basketball staff is extremely disappointed because Jason is a nice young man.” The decision was due to concern that the second of Parker’s two college entrance exams could be disqualified. The NCAA already invalidated a score on an SAT exam because it was 45 percent better than his previous high. NCAA and SAT officials say such jumps are extremely rare. After the score was flagged, Parker decided to retake the test, but didn’t record a score high enough to qualify for NCAA competition. “Jason worked hard this past year to put himself in a position to attend the University of North Carolina, so it’s unfortunate things have not worked out for him,” first-year coach Matt Doherty said. “We were looking forward to Jason being a part of our program.” Parker has been cleared to play by the NCAA eligibility clearinghouse because his ACT scores are above the minimum standard. It has been suggested, however, that his ACT score will likely be thrown out as well because it had a similar level of improvement compared to his SATs. Parker plans to make a decision about college in the near future, his father said. Schools interested in Parker

include Michigan and Kentucky, The Charlotte Observer reported two weeks ago. Wake Forest has recently surfaced as a possibility, but ESPN.com initially confirmed

JASON PARKER dunks over his high school opponents at a venue he thought he would be calling home—the Dean E. Smith Center. that Parker’s representatives contacted Michigan about one of its three remaining scholarship slots. “Jason will look at his other options and make a decision soon,” the Parker family told Reuters News Service. “Our family does not wish to answer any more questions until we have selected another school.” Jason’s father, Jesse, said ifhis son is unable to attend college, he will likely enroll in a junior college and then declare himself eligible for the NBA draft next spring.

Duke hopes to snap 42-game losing streak against UNC CARLYLE CUP from page 1 so much more attention to 20 teams at each school makes it even more special.” In each sport, the school that wins

�

the majority of head-to-head meetings wins all the points for the particular sport. If the teams split the season series, they split the points. Fourteen sports are worth three points each, and six sports—cross country, fencing, track and field, swimming, wrestling and rowing—are worth one point each. Duke NCAA compliance coordinator Chris Kennedy said this new competition

may intensify the rivalry between the schools. “[The Duke-UNC rivalry! always gets attention from people who are associated with those teams,” he said. ‘There is the same kind of intensity as a basketball game to the field hockey coaches, players,

trainers and parents. It’s hard to heighten or intensify that rivalry. There just isn’t that much room for that. But for the people who don’t pay that much attention to those sports, it might cook up some extra excitement, especially as the year goes on and the competition winds down.” But the field hockey team will have bigger fish to fry—they are seeking to break a 42-game losing streak to North Carolina, a streak which stretches from Oct. 13, 1981. “Most teams that they play break down; I want us to play poised,” coach Liz Tchou said. “Past teams have been like, ‘Oh my God, it’s UNC.’ This team, we have the feeling we can beat them, and we aren’t going to beat ourselves.” Duke’s game plan revolves around a more possession-oriented offense than last year’s. Tchou wants her team to work the ball for good shots while get-

ting players in front of the cage for any second opportunities. Last year Duke went 13-8,1-3 in ACC play. The team reached the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in school history, and the second time in Tchou’s four years at the helm. However, she must incorporate six new freshmen into the mix while compensating for the loss of six seniors from last year’s squad. The graduated players Scored 53 percent of Duke’s goals and 42 percent of Duke’s points. Tchou says the freshmen have fit right into the program and will contribute immediately. “They’ve been great. It’s the most well-rounded class we’ve had, with experience in various positions. They have fit right in, and they aren’t intimidated.” Senior co-captain Courtney Sommer agrees that this team is ready for ACC competition. ‘This team is as capable as any team I’ve played on of beating UNC. It is going to be a battle. If we can stick to our game plan, we’ve got a really good chance.”

Sommer, a second-team All-America and two-time first-team All-ACC, and forward Melissa Yuppa are the team’s leading returning scorers with 17 and 18 points, respectively. Finding a primary offensive weapon figures to be a problem for Duke after the graduation of Corey Ceccolini, who scored 19 goals last year and tallied a staggering 43 points. Instead of designating a replacement for Ceccolini, Tchou plans to have a more balanced offensive attack with sophomore forward Chrissy Ashley, junior forward Liz Bateman, Yuppa and senior forward Jennelle Moore. “They are going to have to worry about all three for-

The Blue Devils seek an end to that remarkable streak tomorrow at Fetzer Field. they’ve ever been,” Sommer said. “This team is set on getting to the tournament. As a team, we are capable of being better than we’ve ever been.” Carolina returns its entire starting lineup from a team that went 16-6 and lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament to lowa, 2-0. They are led by two-time All-American Jana Toepel and senior Kristen McCann, who is a member of the United States national

wards on the field,” Tchou said. Saturday’s contest does not count toward the ACC standings—the rematch Oct. 1 will be the official ACC game. However, beating quality ACC opponents Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Wake Forest will prove difficult. Last year was the first time in NCAA history when an entire conference made the NCAA tournament. But the team’s ultimate goal remains to advance to and succeed in the NCAA tournament. “Our team goals are higher than

Brooks recruits solid freshman class to replace Bauer BAUER from page 33 what’s best for my game. I’m looking forward to getting back to my own routine.” For one coach and six other golfers, however, Bauer’s decision to walk away from college golf left a bittersweet taste as they tried to swallow their own tremendous loss without detracting from the celebration of her success.

Acknowledging that their former teammate did

not reach her final decision lightly, the Blue Devils

have been surprisingly supportive of Bauer. Still, it doesn’t take a math major to figure out that Bauer, who consistently shot in the very low 70s, will be dearly missed in 2001. “I would have absolutely loved to have Beth stay with us,” Blue Devil coach Dan Brooks said. “I want people to follow their heart and what matters to them most. I want them to see what is out there.

Beth looked things over as closely as she could have and as well as she could have, and she followed her heart. That process is what I’m in support of. “Am I upset that she’s not on our team? You bet. She’ll be missed. We’re all going to miss those low scores and we’re all going to miss her dedication.” Brooks wasted no time in attempting to replace his top player from the past two seasons. The veteran coach added perhaps two of the best recruits available in order to return the national championship trophy to Durham. Freshmen Leigh Anne Hardin and Virada Nirapathpongporn join sophomores Maria GarciaEstrada and Kristina Engstrom, junior Candy Hannemann and senior Kalen Anderson on the fivetime defending ACC champions. Hardin enters Duke as one of the most decorated high school athletes in Blue Devil history. In four

years at Martinsville High School in Indiana, Hardin racked up nine state championships, including four team championships and three individual championships in golf as well as two team championships in basketball. Brooks first heard about Hardin in her pre-teen years when she shot an astounding 62 at an Amateur Junior Golf Association tournament. Nirapathpongporn, on the other hand, hails from

Bangkok, Thailand, but played golf with GarciaEstrada and Hannemann at the renowned Leadbetter Academy. Both players personally recommended Nirapathpongporn to Brooks. “Just about everything I could hope for in a couple of individuals coming onto my team, I find in these two players,” Brooks said of his freshmen. “They want to play the best golf in college golf. They are everything you could want in student-athletes.”

Correction In the July 17 issue of Sportswrap, a picture of a women’s tennis player was incorrectly labeled in the page 20 story entitled “Biro battles Duke to retain financial aid.” The picture was not of junior Erica Biro, but was instead of senior Kathy Sell.

Collins, Krzyzewski form close bond in tough years basketball history. The Blue Devils went from national runner-up in 1994 to ACC cellar dweller in 1995, before once again qualifying for the NCAA tournament in 1996. According to Collins, this rocky road helped to strengthen his relationship with Krzyzewski. “We’ve always had a very special relationship ever since I was a player here,” Collins said. “I kind ofhad a unique career as a player—l came in on the highs, weathered the storm of some of the lows in the mid ’9os, and felt like I was part of a team in ’96 that righted the ship, got us back on track.” “I think we have a special bond going through those wars. Now, being back we have a different relationship. Instead of it being coach-player, it’s more of a colleague-type relationship—it’s me working for him, sitting in the meetings, looking at film, talking about the players. It’s a different relationship, but one I’m really excited about.” Collins will join his former teammate and current Duke assistant Steve Wojciechowski as a traveling recruiter for the Blue Devils. He will also spend a substantial amount of time working with Duke’s perimeter players. However, the loss of Henderson could pose problems for Duke’s interior post players. The hiring of Collins signifies the first time in Krzyzewski’s 21 seasons at Duke that ail three of his assistant coaches played the guard position in college. Krzyzewski himself was also a guard during his playing days at Army. But Henderson, whose primary responsibility was to coach the post players during his tenure at Duke, does not think this phenomenon will present a problem. Instead, he is quite confident in the ability of Krzyzewski’s assistants to do whatever is necwhere he led his league in scoring. During his playing days at Duke, Collins’ most essary for success. “Each of those guys have knowledge about all notable accomplishment was serving as team captain for the Blue Devils during his senior year in parts of the game,” Henderson said. “I think Chris 1996. His four-year stint as a Duke player marked will be able to do a great job with the guards and the one of the most tumultuous periods in the school’s big men.”

COLLINS from page 33 the only job I would have left Seton Hall for and I truly believe that. I love Tommy Amaker and I love all of the people at the Seton Hall program.” Despite his disappointment about leaving Amaker, Collins was excited to join Mike Krzyzewski his former coach at Duke. And by choosing Collins, Krzyzewski was obviously excited about having another of his former players back on board. “We are absolutely ecstatic about having Chris Collins join our staff,” Krzyzewski said in a statement. “He was a huge contributor as a player here. His leadership, especially his senior year, helped return our program to national prominence. His enthusiasm for and intelligence of the game will make him a great asset.” Henderson, who has now settled into his new position at Delaware, shares Krzyzewski’s sentiments about Collins. “I think Chris will do a great job, because he’s been around basketball all ofhis life, he has a terrific mind, loves the game, brings a lot of energy, and I think he can share knowledge with a lot of the players,” he said. “Chris was a great competitor and when the game was on the line, he hit a lot of big shots for Duke in his career. His toughness in situations like that will really help young players in understanding game situations and in competing.” The son of former NBA coach/player and current NBC basketball analyst Doug Collins, the Northbrook, 111. native served as an assistant coach at Seton Hall for one year under Amaker. He took the Seton Hall job after working as an assistant coach for the WNBA’s Detroit Shock. Prior to that, he competed as a player for two years in Finland, >

side shooter. He may even be better than Chris Duhon, not necessarily as a player but as a more consistent outside shooter. He is a great addition for the Blue Devils.” According to his high school coach, consistent isn’t even the word to describe the shooting touch that Ewing has developed. “He has been working so hard this summer that he has taken his game to a whole new level,” Courtney said. He s at a point where he very sel-

If Williams were to leave, Duhon would likely take over for him as the Blue Devils’ starting point guard, while Ewing would become the primary shooting guard. For the time being, however, Williams has repeatedly stated his desire to stay all four years at Duke. So even if it still looms more than a year away, the prospect of seeing Ewing join Williams and Duhon in Duke’s backcourt has even the most seasoned basketball junkies licking their chops. “With a trio of Jason Williams, Chris Duhon and Daniel Ewing, the Blue Devils could have one of their strongest backcourts of all-time, maybe their best ever,” Gibbons said. But before that can happen, Ewing will realign with Ford and his other high school teammates as Willowridge attempts to defend its state championship and live up to its billing as the top high

Sunny day makes for smooth freshman move-m

Some freshmen greet friends, roommates they met through the Internet, while parents bid teary farewell By JOHN BUSH and TESSA LYONS The Chronicle

Far from the beanie caps and the colored hair bows freshmen wore in the “days of old,” the class of 2004 sported their own styling duds and smiles of relief following a smooth move-in Wednes-

day.

Following two years of poor weather, including one hurricane-prompted emergency move-in, Wednesday’s move-in on East Campus went relatively smoothly. For many parents and students who

expected the worse, the day’s events

came as a pleasant surprise. “There was a lot less chaos than I [would have] thought,” said parent Anna Robinson.

First-year Advisory Counselor (FAC) and sophomore Nirupa Goel echoed these sentiments. "It doesn’t seem as crowded as last year," she said. Goel was one of many upperclassmen who volunteered her time to facilitate a more efficient move-in. This year 230 FACs joined resident advisers and various administrators in helping over 1,600 freshmen unload their cars. “I only carried two boxes,” said freshman Shalini Gary of Ohio, alluding to the impact of all of the upperclassmen volunteers. Gary’s mother said that when she moved another child into Northwestern University, she did not receive the same help. Although most students met each other face to face for the first time on Wednesday while arranging their be-

longings in their new room, many had already been in contact with each other. Freshman Chad Leister of Columbus, Ohio said that he and his roommate made contact over the phone. “We introduced ourselves, some small talk, and then got down to business,” he said. The Internet also provides another avenue for communication, and the class of 2004 has extended its use to include a web site specifically designed for their class to meet and interact with each other online. Freshman Mike Sack, a New Jersey resident, started the network, which grew to approximately 400 people. Freshman Cara Kimberg was one such participant, communicating with other incoming freshmen through the network and meeting several of them in person. “It made it easier coming here, knowing that you would see a familiar face,” Kimberg said. Two freshmen who met online arranged to see each other in person because of their close proximity. Shortly afterward, they began dating. This service also helped at least eight freshmen find roommates. But like in all years past there were move-in complaints. Though many students were pleasantly surprised with the size of their rooms, some freshmen, like Carolyn Robinson of Florida, thought that their double may have been intended for one person. Other problems focused around changes in freshmen registration policy. Several

TRASHBAGS IN HAND, students and their families haul belongings into what will be home for the next year, Gilbert-Addoms dormitory. students said they didn’t get a single class they requested, and others were shocked to see that they were only enrolled in three classes. Bill Ewell, the area coordinator for Aycock and Epworth, identified one unfortunate incident—a resident advisor sliced his hand on a refrigerator during move-in. The final stages of the move-in expe-

rience are approaching, as evidenced by the teary-eyed parents leaving their children in the tender care of east campus resident advisers and FACs. While some parents headed home to take care of younger siblings, others had different plans. Freshman Ben Peterson from Minnesota said of his parents, ‘They’ll take a vacation. They’re only here today and tomorrow.”

Amidst the bubble of the Gothic Wonderland, it can be easy to forget that outside Duke’s walls is a city rife with culture and opportunity. The Chronicle’s Ellen Mielke asked David Neill, vice president of research for the Durham Chamber of Commerce, some advice on what to see and do while living at Duke, and how with a little effort...

Durham can become the perfect college town. What makes Durham’s restaurants special?

What makes Durham a good college town? College is intended as a time of learning, but also a time for personal exploration. Durham is the perfect setting for this. As a community with real character, a true texture, students have the opportunity to meet people in this one town from all over the globe, from a full range of incomes, educational levels, ethnicities, and political leanings (drawn here by the local sities and the Research Triangle Park i Durham). Durham is a great opportunity f

There’s no single way to sum up what makes Durham’s restaurants special. Perhaps its the variety of truly world-class cuisine. The diversity that characterizes the community is exemplified in the food. The Convention & Visitors bureau has a list of “Uniquely Durham Restaurants” and I’d have to agree that their

people like college students to learn about tht while challenging long-held beliefs about » races, and for the relocated Yankees (like my South.

list is an excellent starting point for a Durham newcomer. (I might also add Brightleaf 905 to a good list, recently named one ofAmerica’s best new restaurants by Esquire.) What makes for a good weekend outing in Durham? Go with some friends on the weekend up to the Eno River State Park early this fall. It’s a beautiful outdoor location and a real step back in time. (The mill is in operation for demonstrations on the weekends.) What’s the one thing every college student should experience while in Durham?

A meal or two (or 10!) at the famous Bullock’s Bar-B-Que should not be missed by a Durham college student. It’s not too far from campus, the food is tremendous, the prices make sense on a college student’s budget, and the hundreds of photos of the famous folks that have enjoyed the taste of Tom Bullock’s fare is a testament to the longevity of this restaurant and the quality of this truly Durham expe-

rience. Are there any unique, little known places in Durham that you think deserve some attention?

I don’t think that any student should pass up the opportunity to watch a movie at the Starlite Theater. An honest to goodness traditional drive-in movie theather. There aren’t many ofthese old American icons left. Not to be missed. A treasure that could easily be overlooked.

What are some of the best things to do for Durham nightlife? Anything in or around the Brightleaf district (home to Satisfactions, James Joyce, Devines, etc,) the Ninth Street District (check out George’s Garage), or the occassional trip to the Southern Park of Heaven, Chapel Hill. For non-alcohol settings, I would suggest the Carolina Theatre for great live performances and movies that won’t make the various multiplexes and the nearby Durham Arts Council’s galleries for exploring their impressive rotating fine arts exhibits (and to get plugged in to the local arts community). Let me recommend that every Duke ffosh get a copy of the Chamber’s New Resident guide and the convention & Visitors Bureaus’s Official Visitors Guide. They’re two great ways to start exploring Durham. Finally, I cannot over emphasize the value in making sure to make the time between attending classes an sitting in tents in Krzyzewskiville to get off campus to experience the rest of the City ofMedicine—The Bull City—Durham, North Carolina.

On or off campus, being careful essential to safety Ninety-nine percent of on-campus thefts could be prevented by locking dorm room doors, police advise By GREG PESSIN The Chronicle College finals and new friends are, unfortunately, not everything a freshman at an urban campus needs to worry about—safety and security in the dorm and off campus can be just as impor-

and the calm surroundings of the Georgian campus may give students a false sense of security. Dean said students could prevent close to 99 percent of all on-campus thefts if they simply locked their doors, even when they just go to the bathroom. But that simple step is only a start to on-campus safety. This summer, a group of incoming freshmen started a web site on which they posted their pictures and future room numbers. Wallace said this well-meaning project is a good example of a serious security risk that might not seem like one to most students. The line between on- and off-campus

safety can be blurred, especially on East, where students jog along the wall and walk to nearby restaurants and stores. In fact, many crimes that happen just outside the walls have happened inside them as well. Local experts say students should always travel in groups. Dean said most of the campus remains relatively safe until late evenings, so students should ask friends to accompany them during this time. “The later it gets, the more the person should be concerned,” Dean said of both on- and off-campus situations. “The criminal element tends to be out in force See

Alcohol still plays big role in campus social scene University administrators introduce increased alcohol education, non-alcoholic social programming n

By TESSA LYONS The Chronicle

Is it Miller time? Like all college freshmen, the members of Duke’s class of 2004 will face a new and tempting social atmosphere—where alcohol could potentially play a large role.

COURSES

SOCI9B, Social & Philosophical issues in Management (6419) MW, 3:55-5:10 pm instructor, Gary Hull Nearly everyone believes that philosophy has nothing to do with business or with management. But is that true? Many students use Napster to download music for free. But what about the rights of the artists and the record companies? That’s a philosophic issue. Most people believe that making money is practical but not moral. Why do they believe that, and is it true? That, too, is a philosophic issue. Is there such a thing as a “right to work,” to be paid a “fair wage,” to maternity leave? Is a corporation’s primary responsibility to increase the value of its stock or does it have an obligation to “serve the community”? Should companies be subject to environmental and affirmative action regulations? Is it fair for the government to prosecute Microsoft for antitrust violations? Are “big oil” and “big pharmaceutical" companies villains, as the left claims? Or are they unjustly attacked? The purpose of this course is to show you that your answers to these questions, and many others, are determined by your philosophy.

SOCI4B, Demography for Business & Public Policy (6416) MW, 2:20-3:35 pm Instructor: Assistant Professor, M.E. Hughes Businesses and governments face critical decisions every day. Should a grocery store chain open additional stores in the Triangle? If so, where should these stores be located? Should a county government invest in additional schools to anticipate growth in the number of school-age children? Competition and scarce resources mean that the consequences of poor decisions are potentially high. As a result, the decision-making process has become increasingly data based. Success thus depends on a sophisticated understanding of social and demographic research. This course focuses on research strategies for business and policy. The overall goal is to teach students a set of skills that can be used to inform business or policy decisions. The emphasis will be on the logic of research methods, so although basic statistics will be useful it is not required.

Hunt’s focus remains improving' the state’s educational system,,.

It includes peribnnanoo<deteniiiiied pay for strong" teachers that will, raise overall salaries to the national average. Hunt pioneered this incentive-based pay approach, earning praise from President Clinton and from several national business and education leaders.

SAFETY from page 7 the later at night it gets. The probability seems to rise a lot after midnight.” The absence of blue-light phones, RAs and throngs of students on Durham streets make dangerous situations even more difficult to escape. “The best things when walking on a public street are to walk with confidence and walk briskly,” Hester said. “A lot of times, people will ask what time it is or ask for change. Give a quick answer or keep walking.” All the while, students should stay on lit paths and avoid shortcuts, alleys and public parks. And, officials say, the more alcohol someone consumes, the more likely they are to put themselves in vulnerable posi-

Not so long ago, the twenty-first century was widely predicted to become the Asian century.” But now it seems more likely to become a “global century,’’dominated perhaps not by any one region but rather by global media of communication and multi-polar power structures. A key phenomenon of globalization is regional integration, spearheaded by the European Community. Meanwhile, the nations, economic zones, and cultural spheres of East Asia envision and put into practice their own version of regionalism. How have Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese seen each other in relation to the geographical space they have inhabited, and what contexts have significantly shaped their interactions? Why, for instance, is regional integration in East Asia more tentative and informal than in Europe? -

A Break from the Coat &Tie.

Through our readings, lectures, and discussions, the grouping that is East Asia emerges primarily as a product of a shared modern history. Tracing international, transnational, as well as sub-regional relations from the pre-modern era through the end of the twentieth century, we will identify and examine the most important forces that have shaped East Asia historically. Concurrently, we will develop a critical perspective on what it means to study East Asia from within the American academic tradition of area studies. Readings: Jung Chang
