SSM gift goes to grad fellowships

An anonymous donor’s matching gift will help satisfy one of the University’s highest priorities in The Campaign for Duke. By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

An anonymous donor yesterday gave Duke’s graduate students their largest financial boost ever, a $5 million matching gift that will fund graduate student fellowships, President Nan Keohane announced. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for the graduate school,” said Leigh Deneef, associate dean of the Graduate School. “We have a lot of unmet needs. We have goals that we’re trying to develop for new levels of funding.... This kind of support is a real help for us.” The donor will match with either one or two dollars of his own for every dollar given to fund graduate fellowships. If another gift-giver targets a specific area, the anonymous donor will match the amount of the gift; if the gift-giver allows Graduate School Dean Lewis Siegel to choose an area, the donor will double the amount. Therefore, the terms of this donation could increase funds for doctoral students by $lO million. “Doctoral students make many sacrifices to pursue their intellectual goals and they need considerable time to achieve the Ph.D.,” Siegel said in a statement. “And we need to help to ensure that they have this time by providing support packages that are equal to the local cost of living and competitive with other universities. Fellowship awards are absolutely necessary if we are to succeed.” But graduate student fellowships are among the most difficult targets to fund, in part because graduate See DONATION on page

They don’t get a sense that my plan has got real purposes for real people.” Bush made his comments after prominent Republicans across the country expressed concern over the state of his campaign and after a series of polls showed that Vice President A1 Gore was solidifying the gains he had made after the Democratic National Convention.

Damage costs go down in ’99-’OO By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

For years, selective groups—especially greeks—have

incurred large housing damage fees for property destruction and uncleanliness in their residential sections. However, last year, damage in greek houses declined $B,OOO from nearly $30,000 in the previous year. Damage fees for the entire campus decreased by $17,150.

Members of the administration believe the decline resulted from a new set of residential damage guidelines, which give living groups greater responsibility for cleaning up “excessive” messes. Representatives from fraternities, however, cited the annual review process as providing the impetus for the drop. Formed by a collaborative effort between the Interfraternity Council and the Office of Student Development, the new policy went into effect last year and in-

A Story oi Run Caro rill si tci A Duke IIn fi* siduudic

While

many students have typical summers lifeguarding by the pool or twiddling their thumbs in an office, there are those few people who truly have summers to write home about. Ten years ago, one Duke student had a summer to write a novel about. Eric Martin, Trinity ’9O, joined a house course started by one of his friends. The course led to an internship in the middle of tobacco country, where Martin and his friends spent the summer of 1990 working with farmworkers and social service workers in rural North Carolina. “One hot night during that summer I went really late to the office—l sat down and wrote what would become the first page of the novel,” said Martin, who graduated with a degree in comparative literature. “I didn’t really know I was starting a novel; I just saw a scene and tried to capture it.” Last month, Martin published his first book “Luck: A Novel” which chronicles a Duke student’s return to his rural hometown. He and his friends encounter the decline of tobacco farming and the use and abuse of Mexican migrant workers—many of the scenes Martin himself encountered that summer. While the first page of “Luck” was written during Martin’s internship experience, he put the story away for five years while he worked on another novel and attended graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin. “The novel is about a North Carolina I had known during an intense part of my life,” Martin said. “It is a North Carolina drawn on facts and reality that ended up existing in my book.”

Sign language to Chafe lists obstacles for faculty appear at events By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Major academic programs—like convocation and commencement—will include sign language interpreters starting this year. Audience members can request assistance for other events. *

By JOHN BUSH The Chronicle

To assist audience members with hearing problems, a new University policy will include sign language interpreters at all major academic events—including convocation, commencement, the baccalaureate ceremony and Maya Angelou’s annual speech to freshmen. Previously, sign language was available upon request. “Even without a specific request, we have decided to provide [an interpreter] for major University events,” said Mary Franks, director of disability programs. “It sends a message that Duke is open to people with disabilities.” The policy took effect at the beginning of this academic year, with interpreters from a Raleigh firm at both convocation and Angelou’s talk. The University pays $42 per hour for the signers, who also receive compensation for travel and other expenses. As in the past, assistance for other events will be available upon request. Franks added that her office will consider using captioning and assistive listening devices to make these events more accessible to the hearing impaired. “We really, really want to make our services and activities open to qualified people...” Franks said. “Let us know ahead of time if you have a particular need.

At the year’s first meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council, faculty representatives heard a broad and wide-ranging address from William Chafe, dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences and vice provost for undergraduate education. Touching on recent successes such as faculty hires, Chafe also outlined future obstacles for the faculty including proposals for new construction. ‘This is an exciting and challenging time,” he said. “But it’s also one for reflection and prudence.” Noting that 15 years ago the school had only one department ranked in the top 10 nationally—as opposed to seven departments currently—Chafe discussed the difficulties presented by recent growth. “One of the side effects has been other institutions raiding our faculty,” he said. But even though the number of professors leav-

ing for other institutions has tripled recently—with 40 faculty members leaving in the last three years—Chafe assured the council that Arts and Sciences has actually retained about 75 percent of those who received offers. This retention rate, he said, has helped fuel a 32 percent growth in Arts and Sciences faculty over the last 10 years, including a record 52 new hires this year alone. More specifically, Chafe expressed satisfaction with growth in the number of female and minority faculty members, and promised to focus on departments where such groups are under-represented. But he admitted that would be difficult, considering the recent surge in hires. “No university can afford to sustain that type of growth,” said Chafe, noting that Arts and Sciences has already curtailed recruitment for the upcoming year. Specifically, he said, new hires will bring the See A&S COUNCIL on page 9 �

Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act in 1998, the University has worked to improve its accommodations for the disabled. The Office of Institutional Equity, which encompasses Franks’ department, was created in 1995 by President Nan Keohane in part to address ADA

Many graduate students at Duke are older and must support their families while they advance their studies for sometimes more than seven years.

number of Arts and Sciences professors to 582, close to the target of 590 for the immediate future. That target, Chafe said, is constrained by the $2OO million Arts and Sciences budget. Although Trinity College of Arts and Sciences has a reserve of $7 million, he expects a $4 million deficit this year, with more shortfalls expected in upcoming years. With 85 per-

cent of the budget coming from tuition, Chafe said the University will likely have to raise undergraduate costs by more than the inflation rate despite the fact that tuition is already the fifthhighest in the country.

Trinity College also plans to expand several institutes and programs, like an addition to the Sanford Institute for Public Policy for the study of society and genomics. Throughout his address to the council, however, Chafe emphasized the need to balance new growth with shoring up Arts and Sciences’ current areas of strength.

members of the council’s Executive Committee ending their terms this month, the faculty elected Professor of Classical Studies Kent Rigsby and Visiting Scholar in Computer Science Owen Astrachan to serve two-year terms on the seven-member committee.

Like Annan and Blair, Clinton argued that peacekeeping meant thinking not only about weapons but also about water, schools, health and the environment. “Some people will listen to this discussion and say, well, peacekeeping has something to do with security, but these other issues don’t have anything to do with security and don’t belong in the Security Council,” Clinton said. “This is my last meeting—l just have to say I respectfully disagree.

Conference draws about 700 to discuss racial equity � RACE INITIATIVE from page 3 Hunt said he was concerned that children from un-

Even if they’re not married, the father

still needs to be involved,” he said. The governor also described the economic disparity between ethnic groups as a key area of concern. “When you contrast [the poverty] with the enormous wealth that some people have, and when you see those things you realize we’ve got some real moral problems,” the governor said. Carolyn Coleman, special assistant to the governor, said her office considered the day a success. She said the ideas generated at the conference would likely be acted upon, due to the political influence of many attendees. One idea that came from a discussion group on equalizing access to technology was the creation of restricted credit cards.

“One of the groups discussed the fact that Internet access depends on having a credit card, which makes it difficult or impossible for people of lower incomes to access the Internet,” said Ben Reese, a conference organizer and Duke’s assistant vice president for crosscultural relations. Consequently, Reese said, participants suggested that restricted-access credit cards be made available to assist more minority families obtain Internet access. Findings from these discussions will be distributed to state and local human relation commissions, to the state legislature and to conference attendees. The compiled text will also be made available to the winner of November’s gubernatorial election.

cant statement to a group who leaves an area in away that would require a lot of time to clean.” The policy change was based largely on student input, administrators said. “We interacted a great deal with selective living groups while developing the policy,” said Dean of Student Development Barbara Baker. “It was derived with student help and... part of the success of our new policy is the increased student accountability.” IFC was chosen as a collaborator largely because, in the past, greek organizations had been those with the worst damage problems. “Greeks usually have the most fees because they

host events in their living space,” Wallace explained. But while many members in the selective houses showing significant improvement are aware of last year’s policy changes, several attributed their improvement to the annual review process. “We are aware of the damage policy,” said senior Matt Corley, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. “But the annual review policy was more important in decreasing the damages, especially here.” PiKA and Kappa Alpha fraternity, both of which failed the previous year’s annual review, were among the three fraternities OSD cited as having significantly improved their damage estimates

“We know now that the annual review can affect whether or not we have our section,” said junior Alec Gill, a member of KA. “Our president made this a major issue and since the review, we have really tried to improve.” The third group, Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, has shown a decline in damages for several consecutive years; ATO President Jonathan Blob said he expects the decline to continue.

While administrators and students differ in their opinions of what prompted these improvements, the new policy’s provisions for judicial sanctions are expected to produce even more dramatic results. Under the new policy, housing management will follow up on every damage

Incidents will be brought to the Undergraduate Judicial Board after several infractions. “In the past when something broke there was not immediate consequence,” Gill said. “Now when you break something, the [resident adviser and area coordinator! come to you and try to find out what happened; if an individual is not responsible then the section takes responsibility,” he added. Administrators are optimistic about future reductions in damage. “Now we are just examining a twoyear trend,” said Baker, “but we hope that damages will continue to go down each year under this policy.”

Strengthening ties

For

many members of the black community, adjustment to University life can be difficult. The arrival onto a campus where few look like you and even fewer share many of your life experiences can make the transition overwhelming. Students and administrators have set up a variety of programs to help black students, but the creation ofthe African-American Mentoring Program may be the best idea yet. This program is an excellent way to address the special needs of members of the black community. By strengthening the ties between freshmen and upperclassmen, the program creates a stronger community and a network of support. In addition, by creating a special relationship between mentorees and faculty members, students will have better access to leading scholars who have been in their shoes and can serve as role models. Each of these relationships will continue to serve students well after they leave East Campus—strengthening the University as a whole. But blacks are not the only group on campus to have special needs. Student leaders from other minority groups need to explore the possibility of establishing such programs in their communities. The quick response of administrators proves their willingness to aid cultural organizations. Student leaders should not be afraid to seek out these administrators and ask for their help. Opportunity should never be a limiting factor at this University.

A safer solution

Recently

Duke Student Government submitted a proposal to Auxiliary Services in favor of expanding the Safe Rides program to include more vehicles and additional pick-up services to off-campus locations. Students and employees have grown increasingly frustrated with the lengthy waits and miscommunication that has come with Safe Rides in past—sometimes resulting in the service not showing up at all. If people are under the perception that the service is so unhelpful to the point of choosing not use it—the program needs to be improved. In response to these problems, the University should invest in more vans. As more students move off campus and as the parking configuration forces longer walks, the necessity of Safe Rides will increase. Only additional vehicles can sufficiently accommodate this larger demand. As for the second part of DSG’s proposal—to extend the service to include additional off-campus pick-ups—this plan should be placed on hold. With the possibility of alcohol policies becoming more stringent on campus, there is a realistic potential that Safe Rides may become a taxi service from off-campus parties. But most importantly, before this proposal is even considered, DSG officials must calculate the financial costs. While the debate may still rage, everyone would agree that student safety should remain a high priority.

must set Spade

Sure, some girls can't live without their North Face. But did you know that you could fit an entire day's worth of provisions in a Kate Spade? It's totally true. Like Mary Poppins' big carpettote, a quality Spade can stash almost anything. Using the infamous "classic" model (the one that resembles a super-sexy shoebox), Recess easily managed to stick two notebooks, a pen, Clinique lipgloss in "almost cherry," three NutriGrain bars (breakfast, lunch, and dinner?), a pair of Steve Maddens (strappy sandal platform shoes) and some clean underwear. That's not bad for a bag that measures a mere six inches by eight. Add the fact of that slinky black vinyl, and you just might be able to justify the couple hundred dollar price tag. We tried to shove all the stuff found at the bottom of our Kate Spade into a comparable product from Fendi, and the Italians couldn't come close. For starters, the Maddens couldn't squeeze in and they stretched the Fendi's python skin in the process). Some might think that being in Durham might make it hard to find one of these miracle pocketbooks—not so. You can instantaneously purchase status and space on the web at NeimanMarcus.com, which carries this season's full lineup. But at over a hundred bucks, you probably aren't looking at Kate Spade bags for the super-cute prints and sturdy fabrics so much as that teeny five-centimeter logo. At least now you can feel good about it—besides the infinite capacity of its interior, a basic Kate Spade can go anywhere, with anything and with just about every girl at Duke. And if you do make it to NYC, you can get them on the corner of 59th and Lex in NYC for $l5 bucks a piece. —By Faran Krentcil

RECESS

THE

The "C" In KFC Mmm... chicken If it looks like a chicken, walks like a chicken and tastes like a chicken... it might not be KFC. In December of 1999, rumors swirled on the Internet that the University of New Hampshire had released a report claiming that the fast-food franchise KFC (the franchise formerly known as "Kentucky Fried Chicken") had been forced to change its name. The report alleged that KFC was using a kind of genetically modified bird that didn't meet the government definition of a chicken The report says, "These so called 'chickens' are kept i A alive by tubes... they have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them" One problem though—the "report" is a motherclucking lie, all skwak and no substance. It never existed—as boring as New Hampshire is, they haven't stooped to studying fried chicken. We called KFC's national coop in Louisville, Kentucky, to make sure that the corporateworld wasn't pulling the feathers over our eyes. The KFC spokespeson not only denied that KFC uses genetically-modified chicken, but called it "pure science fiction." But when we asked other questions, she pecked away at our inquiries—giving brief answers about the existence of other modified chickens and why the chicken crossed the road. What we could use is a study of geneticallyrmodified corporate spokespeople.

SANDBOX it's okay if it tastes like chicken sometimes, fight? With the weather getting cold this week, Recess realized one thing in a big way—summer is really, really over. As we say goodbye to the days of beaches and Birkenstocks and European vacations, Recess thought we’d say au revoir with a little cultural comparison. Because if there's one thing Americans and our European counterparts share during the warmer season, it's those classic, silly summer singles. The only real question is, which continent is sillier? See for yourself.

U.S.A. Sisqo "Thong Song" America's essential summer single, this R&B kept booty in the spotlight for another year. She had dumps like a truck truck truck / Thighs like what what what/All night long / Let me see that thong Britney Spears

"Oops, I Did It Again" In a blatant novelty move, Ms. Spears inserted this faux-Titanic interior dialogue into her ass-shaking romp But I thought the old lady dropped it Into the ocean In the end /Well baby, I went down and got It for you / Oh, you shouldn't have.

BB Mak— "Back Here" The lyrics may not rise quite to the level of "silly," but they sure do score points for "insipid." Until you're back here baby/Miss want you need you so / Until you're here baby yeah / There's a feeling I want you to know N SYNC "Just Got Paid" It's not actually their signature summer single, "It's Gonna Be Me," but the lyrics to the 80s R&B cover "Just Got Paid" are far more illustrative of the power of the current boy-band champs. Bet you thought you had me played / Check is in the mail, I got it made /You'll notice I'm smilin'/ It's like Kool-Aid / Cause I just got paid, uh -

Eurotrash Anton featuring DJ Otzi— "Anton Aus Tirol" Don't expect to hear this Austrian on GlO5 any time soon. His comedic hit, "Anton Aus Tirol" is a beered-up sloshfest with some cocky lyrics. Translated from the original German; lam so beautiful /1 am so cool /1 am the Anton from Tirol / my figure is a natural wonder. (And your song is a one hit wonder.) Manu Chao—"Bongo Bong" It's electronic Latin music. And it works. The lyrics tell the story of a cast-away bongo banger. Daddy was king of the Congo / mama was queen of the mambo / deep down in the jungle /1 started banging my first bongo Die To ten Hosen— "Bayern Munchen" re old and ugly but these German rockers laking more noise, this time professing dislike of German soccer team Bayern ch. While some is lost in translation, the rus basically says that; If we were 20 and super talented/ we wouldn't go to FC Bayern Munich Tom Jones "Sex Bomb" This wacked-out novelty hit has thus far been confined to the Atlantic's other shores. And considering the implications of infrared semen, that's probably okay. Spy on me baby use satellite / Infrared semen move through the night/Aim gonna fire shoot me right/ I'm gonna like the way you fight/And I love the way you fight By Jim Herriott, Jonas Blank and Robert Kelley

Dennis Miller’s Monday Night Football debut showed that he probably should stick to Comedy Central. By Brody Greenwald

It's

Monday night and you're sitting down to watch the game and have a Bud. In comes the blare of the trumpets guitars and drums... Dun, dun, dun, dun! The digitized helmets of the Rams and Broncos smash together, along with ABC's standard on-screen pyrotechnics. It's ten minutes to kickoff in the 2000 season's first edition of Monday Night Football and the question is the same; are you ready for some football? The 60,000 blue-and-gold smeared fans packed one on top of another inside St. Louis' Trans World Dome were more than ready, the Rams and Broncos were definitely ready (or at least their offenses were), you better believe good ol' Hank Williams was ready and if you're anything like me sprawled across an extra-long couch, couple of beers in hand —well, then you were sure as hell ready, too. Unfortunately, not everyone was so well-prepared for the primetime gridiron theatrics. Cut to Dennis Miller, a self-described "ultimate fan" who was hired by ABC to be the vial of adrenaline for a program that, for more than a decade now, has seen its life support fade quicker than a terminally-ill patient visiting Jack Kevorkian. There's just one problem with this "highly informed fan" and erstwhile comedic genius—maybe I don't belong at Duke, but I had no idea what he was talking about half the time. When it came time for introductions in the booth, Dennis dropped a pretty inscrutable opening line: "Kurt Warner is as implacable in the pocket as all of us are in a hammock." The conversation then turned to Miller's jacket, a throwback to the hideous yellow sport coats donned by Howard Cosell and Don Meredith. It —

was a light moment most fans could appreciate, until Miller unloaded something about "nehrus." Forgive me if I spelled it wrong, but three friends and I spent 20 minutes looking the word up in two different English dictionaries —not "nehru," "nehroo," "nairoo," "nairu" and there were no words that began with "nh" —until we gave up and concluded that it must mean something about

ugly jackets.

When we decided to check up on "implacable," we discovered that Kurt Warner must be as "impossible to reconcile or appease" in the pocket as we might be in a hammock. I don't know about you, but as long as the sun's shining, the breeze is blowing and someone is fronting me a few drinks, I'm pretty damn easy to appease when I'm in a.hammock. And all this took place before the game even began. If you kept watching, you got a free history lesson on Romulus and Remus —apparently the founders of Rome—or picked up something about a French bridge called the "Pont Neuf." But what they have to do with the speed of Rams receivers Az-Zahir Hakim and lorry Holt, or with the wrap around the leg of Denver's Terrell Davis, I sure couldn't tell you. In between the obscure references, Dennis didn't do that much talking. The Associated Press referred to it as toning down his act, or as they put it, "refrained from too much over-the-top esoterica." Refrained? To me, Miller seemed a little extraneous in the football booth and more appropriate for late-night, profanity-laced comedy bits. Maybe the average football fan enjoyed his humor, but my guess is the average football fan would be happier with less of Dennis Miller and a few more sideline interviews with Melissa Stark.Q

Strangers With Candy is closer to reality than the PTA would like to admit. By Tim Perzyk

NOT RELATED TO JONAS: Her last name is "Blank," but Strangers With Candy protagonist Jerri Blank doesn't have a chance in hell at being Recess editor.

We all know the type. A high school fixture as celebrated and reviled as the head cheerleader or varsity quarterback. You remember her: the 47-year-old exprostitute drug addict who returns to complete her diploma while getting a little on the side. Well, maybe not exactly, but Strangers With Candy's Jerri Blank is more all-American high school than the PTA would like to admit. Strangers With Candy, Comedy Central's irreverent and off-color take on adolescence, is a breath of fetid air amid TV's Glade-fresh slate of primetime stinkers. At once entirely offensive yet oddly thought-provoking, the show parodies the pre-Oprah schmaltz known as the after-school special. Jerri Blank (played by Raleigh native Amy Sedaris) is our guide through the winding halls of Flatpoint High, where she struggles with a host of herbal and carnal temptations. An ex-convict who's returned home to start fresh after a thirty-year foray into the "adult" world, Jerri is hardly an apt pupil. When encouraged to "reclaim her womanhood" by asserting her born-again virginity, Jerri falls in line behind the in-crowd, quick to don the cherry-bobbing pins the respectable girls are wearing. As any noble heroine would do, Jerri valiantly dismisses the advances of the school hornball. But Strangers wouldn't be the jaundiced snapshot of contemporary high school without Jerri's late-

episode transgression with a prudish bookworm in the ladies' room. As if drug, alcohol and sex addiction weren't enough, Jerri is illiterate, which becomes public knowledge during the mental gymnastics of cheerleading tryouts. "V-l-C-T-O-R-Y What does that spell?!" "WINN!" Clearly Jerri didn't benefit from a rigorous regimen of Sesame Street and Hooked on Phonics. Strangers With Candy wouldn't be an insightful commentary on modern-day morality without taking a stance on the value of friendship. When Jerri schemes for an invitation to a wealthy classmate's party after declining a similar offer from her close friend, her rejected admirer chokes, "Jerri, you don't know what it means to be truly rich." Her simple and straightforward response: "Well, 1 know what rich isn't. And I'm lookin' at it." While at points outlandish and ridiculous, Strangers With Candy wouldn't be so funny if its subject matter weren't so firmly grounded in the reality of Gen-Y sensibilities. Picking up where films like 10 Things I Hate About You failed and Clueless began, Strangers registers with crackling wit and couch-slapping one-liners. Refreshingly original and truly tasteless, this Candy will satisfy your sweet tooth. Strangers With Candy airs on Mondays at 10 PM on Comedy Central Q

HARCE Local bouncers get to see the

University—and its students—from a decidedly different angle. Story by Alexandra Wolfe Photography by Jenny Robinson and Cwen Leßerre

Who

knows our exact ages, cares more about our birthdays and hears more gossip about us than our friends do? They can be our favorite people.or our worst enemies. They can help you out of a jam or hurl you in a cop car before you blink. When things really get going, they can be the last line between chaos and control. Well, maybe that's a little extreme. Still, the bouncers at our local pubs and bars see more humanity in one long week than a lot of us see in a year. Stories that make you laugh. Excuses worthy of a presidential pardon. Evasions that couldn't pass muster in preschool. "Come on! I'm just a little girl! I'm so small!" pipes a late arrival at James Joyce last week. "No, I'm sorry, we're over our limit. We can't let anyone else in," replies the bouncer, Kevin Marusic. "But, come on! All of my friends are in there!!"

A lanky timid youth hands over a sparkling new Connecticut I.D. and looks into the bar to see who's there—and who would potentially be able to see him get rejected. "Who's this, your older brother?" "No, it's me." He puts his hands in his pockets and nods to someone in the crowd inside. He glances from side to side, never looking his interrogator square in the face. "What's your sign?" "My sign?" "Your horoscope sign." "Dm, Virgo?"

"Urn, I don't think so." The boy motions to his friends waiting in line behind him and they all turn around with their tails between their legs. "Should we just go back to the Hideaway?" "It's funny," said Marusic. "The guys who try to get in are pretty cool about things. It's the women who bitch and complain all the time." When Kenin, a popular student band, played at the James Joyce last week, the crowd exceeded the bar's 70-pprsor)r|imit by about a hundred. While Marusic does-

With alcoholic mixers in danger of extinction on campus, a new surge of underage drinkers are likely to start filling Main Street and Ninth Street in search of social events. "[Marusic] wouldn't even let his mother in if she left her purse in the car," said a friend standing nearby. Marusic's bulging biceps and menacing presence would send any mother running. Ironically, though, when he isn't checking I.D.'s, Marusic is anything but heavy-handed. By day, he serves as a massage therapist at the Durham YMCA. "He heals people by day and he kicks their the friend added with a smirk, sic appears to be more the type eak up fights with a single loesn't have to get rough with ;omers very often. "There have

"Whenever ght happens I actually have to 'ork, but for the most part my job s pretty boring," Marusic said.

'Wanna go there?' 'Yeah. My car's around back.'They start to leave the bar and try to get past the crowd by the door, and he says [laugh], ‘So, your name's Mary?' and she says, 'No, Sara,' and they keep walking out together!"' You don't hear conversations like that on the massage table. Across the street, the Down Under Pub has seen its fair share of excitement. The Pub's head bouncer, Newt Burns, recalls an especially scary incident last year that some students remember as, "the pepper spray

fiasco." Burns leans

back and takes a swig of his beer. He rolls his eyes and recalls the events of the night, as he watches the arcade game he and his friends have been playing "One kid and his buddy took a bottle from behind the bar. The bartender caught him. I kept them all inside so they wouldmoney." HE DOESN'T WANT TROUBLE: Since an infamous pepper spray incident last iht or physical confrontation can nt get away.

When they heard about a rift at the Down Under, they came right away. "The cops didn't know what they But it's drunk people, most bouncers agree, that are the most entertaining part of the job.

While some students the end of a recent evening; "The guy says, 'You ready?' and the girl was like, 'Uh, yeah.'Then were still ordering shots, others were frothing at the mouth and throwing up. Everyone else was trying to get away from the clouds of pepper spray. Even though a typical night doesn't involve that much action, Burns does say he often has to break up fights and throw people out of the bar. "If you've got a fight between two people, there's usually two sides with about five guys each. You've got to separate the two, and then get one or both of the sides to leave." So while his job is not ail fun and games, he does recall being entertained by late-night antics such as an impromptu limbo contest. Burns makes up for his strictness on his offnights, when you can tell he knows how to have a good time. "You've got to meet Newt," Down Under manager Bryan Faucette said. He may be burly and a little bit threatening but everybody at the Down Under seems to know and like Newt. Even if a student spends years on campus going to social events on and off the quad, it seems to be the bouncers who will ultimately get the most real taste of human nature, who will get the behind the scenes look at campus life.

other, better, recent movies—like Bound or The Last Seduction —have used prefab noir constructs as a springboard for stylistic virtuosity. Distressingly, The Way of the Gun fumbles its tone —the same tone of stony lunacy McQuarrie

so masterfully insinuated in Suspects. It's an adolescent-, ersatz Pulp Fiction, tepidly riffing on that film's spry guerrilla warfare and tangy exchanges; even its title sounds like an uncer-

tain stab at cooler-than-thou suavity. Tarantino walked a fine line between dispassioned moxie and savage vitality; in his footsteps, McQuarrie falters promptly. The actors only hinder matters. Phillippe, milky-voiced and cloudy-eyed, isn't persuasive as a scruffy lowlife, while the actively agitating del Toro remains a fractious screen presence. And the presence of Lewis, who has appeared in more than her share of stylish thrillers (Cape Fear, Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn), further demonstrates the film's trite determination to be taken seriously. McQuarrie tries to forcibly impose a cool on this movie that The Usual Suspects radiated without effort, as well as the sinister exuberance emitted so famously by Pulp Fiction. A project this unsure and unschooled should come with training wheels—The Way of the Gun certainly needs them. □ I

Real Times Four By Greg Bloom

Thirty years from now, when intro film students look back on the long-dead "Age of Film," it may at first

seem strange to them that two seemingly innocuous works —The Blair Witch Project and Time Code—were the earliest artifacts of the new era of movies.

And most people today don't even realize it. A revolution in digital filmmaking is upon us, and while these crude beginnings may not yet thrill with genuinely good storytelling, they absolutely quiver with potential. Even if the hype turned you off to Blair Witch, you may have missed Time Code, a challenging, flawed, yet groundbreaking film by experimental auteur Mike Figgis. Shot simultaneously on four Sony DSR-1 cameras, Time Code follows multiple plotlines and characters on separate screens without a single cut for its entire 93 minutes. That's right, real times four. This sort of thing would be impossible with heavy filming equipment and processing delays. Figgis and his team were able to film straight through several times in a day and then watch the entire film

film have never before occurred in the history of filmmaking. What Figgis has done, essentially, is surrender the most powerful tool of the film medium—editing—to the audience themselves, forcing the viewer to engage different screens at different times to piece together the narrative. That leap forward—or gimmick, according to some is worth experiencing for anyone with an interest in cinema. Time Code certainly requires a strong sense of cinematic adventure, a lot of patience and, hand in hand with those two, a tolerance for hammy acting. But it's not every day you get to see a revolution beginning. —

Quad Flix will be showing Time Code this Saturday at 7:30 and 9:3opm,

Dave Matthews proved the difference between style and substance again last Friday in Raleigh.

Even though a whole punk band may be limp competition for theT-man himself, you can still spend some quality time this Monday night with the band that shares his badass moniker. Just don!t expect a Mr. T-style rumble. The Mr. T. Experience's style is more romance than riots, with songs that address the age-old topics of heartbreak and lovers' woes in an unexpected East Bay punk fashion. Weird as that may seem, it sounds pretty good. This band has found a little niche in the land of pop-punk, where a little more polish or a little more screaming might force their style too far to one side or another. But for nearly fifteen years, they've been doing a good job of staying right where they are with songs that couple pop lyrics and themes with a lot of guitar and ska rhythms —a little like NSync opening a show forThe Ramones. And just for kicks, Mr. T throw in songs

Today, hearing the phrase conjures images of Meg Ryan going through Kleenex boxes fast enough to alarm the National Forest Service. We've been fooled into believing that love happens only in close-up, with the requisite Harry Connick, Jr. ballad in the background. Arlene Hutton's Last Train to Nibroc, playing at Manbites Dog Theater in Durham, offers a striking counterpoint to THAT AIN'T MEG RYAN HE'S TALKING TO: And fortunately.

Commentary Phil Latham You hear a great deal about global warming these days. Some people say it threatens life on Earth, others say it is nothing but a myth. Me, I don’t know anything about that either way. What I do know about is global cooling. Now there is something that has really changed our lives over the last 40 years. Maybe it has warmed up a few degrees on the outside during that time and, if so, that’s a terrible thing. I know for sure, though, that it has cooled down by 20 or 30 degrees on the inside. If anything has changed our lives more than air conditioning, I don’t know what it is. The term wasn’t even invented when I was bom and now we cannot do without it. Most people my age remember not having it anywhere. We started school around this time of year, which meant it was still blazing hot for several weeks and we went until the beginning of June, which gave us all of May during which to swelter. No air conditioning. No fans that I can remember. All we had were open windows and the hope for a stiff breeze. What I remember most about school in those days were the dozens of wasps that buzzed along the ceiling and walls—waiting for an unsuspecting student. As a result, instead of learning multiplication, I was—like an air traffic controller—dividing my time keeping track ofall the the wasps in the room. Forget plane geometry—l was plain scared. Euclid never had to worry about this. The first air conditioner I remember at home was an oscillating fan. Fm sure those fans were a remarkable invention, but the most remarkable feature about them is that they are blowing air somewhere else almost all ofthe time. And I still recall the day my dad installed the evaporative cooler in the living room of our house. These contraptions weighed about two tons, and then you put water in them so that the air that blew into the house was cool. Except it almost never was that cool, especially if the sun happened to be beating down on the cooler. Evaporative coolers, which should never be used in areas with more than 15 percent humidity, had two other significant features—they grew a great fungus, and they smelled like four-day old fish. There was nothing you could do about the fungus, but for the smell we dumped a couple of gallons of Pine Sol a week into the water tray. Everything smelled so strongly of pine in my house that we really didn’t have to take a bath for a week. It smelled like Christmas in July. I was in high school before my family got its first window unit that actually used Freon. My parents thought they were being smart by installing it in their room, turned out they would always regret it. Because from the instant the unit was installed, their bedroom became the family room. They literally would have to drive us out at night. And then a strange thing began to happen. After just a few weeks ofthat wonderful air conditioning, it seemed to do nothing but get hotter outside. Where once I could have worked or played outside all day long, suddenly, the heat got to be too much for me. As a senior in high school I was lucky enough to get a class in the newly renovated—and air conditioned—part of the building. Going there just before noon made every class afterwards unbearable. Funny, but it hadn’t been that hot before, had it? Global wanning may not be as big a danger as global spoiling. We’ve all become so accustomed to being comfortable all the time that we can’t stand it when something goes wrong. Besides, the two things might be tied together anyway. I’m thinking global warming comes from the exhaust from all those air conditioners.

Where safety was not a priority In fact, Ono was in the country this week, testifying before a Senate subcommittee. He told the senators he would “accept full and personal responsibility” for the recklessness that put unsafe tires on the road and may have caused almost 100 deaths in this country alone. “Whenever people are hurt or fatally injured in autoaccidents, it is tragic,” he said.

Duke heads north in search of win No. 1

� Volleyball begins Duke Classic tonight

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

The Blue Devils (3-2) host the Duke Classic this weekend. Their first match is tonight at 8:30 p.m. against Towson State (2-2). Saturday’s action begins at 11:30 a.m. as Duke faces off against Cleveland State (3-1). Duke’s final match comes tomorrow night against Georgia (1-2) at 7 p.m.

It was the best of times. It was the worst

of times.

As Duke (0-1) and Northwestern (1-0) gear up for tomorrow’s game, the latest installment in a growing tradition between the Harvard of the South and the Harvard of the Midwest, this is clearly a tale of two coaches. Two coaches, both in their second season

at schools not particularly known for football dominance. Two coaches who notched subpar 3-8 records last year. Two coaches who have far more experience than their current ventures would suggest. Things are good in Evanston, 111., for Wildcats coach Randy Walker, who won his season opener last Thursday against Northern Illinois 35-17. The Wildcats have a revamped offense and 17 returning starters, including running back Damien Anderson, who led the Big 10 in carries last season and gained more than 1,100 yards. For a team that topped the football-heavy Big 10 only five short years ago, injuries are no longer a factor like they were last year. Now Walker, the former Miami (Ohio) coach who was an assistant at North Carolina while Carl Franks was a young tight end for the Blue Devils, could have the Wildcats headed upward once again. Meanwhile, things are not so good for Franks. In the midst of a 76-0 scoring drought, no one is talking about bowl games or championships in Durham. While the two coaches find themselves in much different positions going into tomor-

battle of the kickers with Northwestern, culminating in a 9-9 tie that went into overtime. In extended play, Duke notched another field

goal, but the Wildcats completed a 27-yard pass for the touchdown and the win. “Duke is a team we seemingly play almost every year,” Walker said at a weekly Big 10

teleconference Tuesday. “They’re a team who came out of the blocks and didn’t play as well as they wanted to against East Carolina, but they faced a similar situation a year ago and they played like gangbusters against us a year ago, really took the game to us. We were See FOOTBALL on page 20 �

Arriving as the best team in the land, the Blue Devils (0-2) left the UConn/Nike Soccer Classic with two more regular season losses than they accumulated all last season.

Romine torched Northwestern 2 seasons ago in Evanston � FOOTBALL from page 19 very lucky to win last year at their place.” Likewise, tomorrow provides one of the few opportunities for the Blue Devils to gain some momentum before taking on Virginia, Florida State and Clemson in three of the next four games. It might prove harder than last season’s attempt; Northwestern is stronger and more experienced, while the Blue Devils have younger players. ‘They’ve changed a little bit,” Franks said. ‘Their offense has gone to more of a spread-open one. They try to use the passing attack type of blocks. They look a lot at times the way Clemson plays. ‘They didn’t throw it as much as they’re going to be throwing it this year. Their defense is going to be bigger than East Carolina’s was. Hopefully they won’t be as quick, but certainly they will

be bigger.” Size stops running games—speed stops passing games. East Carolina had both, but Northwestern’s air defense isn’t nearly as sharp, which means fans ought to look for the real debut ofAirborne 2000

this week. But Duke’s not the only team with an open offense. Northwestern has worked on revamping its passing in a conference that prefers the run. Led by junior quarterback Zak Kustok, who took over for

seven games last season and performed well in this season’s opener, the Wildcats will try to do more through the air. “Our whole purpose going into spring practice last year was to throw the ball better,” Walker said. “We can rush the ball pretty effectively, but our passing game was not what it needed to be last year. We made a concerted effort to be better. “I think we are better. Part of it is that Zak Kustok has had a whole year in our system. He came in really at a disadvantage last year, having transferred from Notre Dame, not having gone through spring. We faltered a great

deal in consistency.” But rather than the Wildcats of 2000 or 1999, Franks hopes the Wildcats of 1998 show up. In 1998, Duke’s Spencer Romine threw 303 yards for a 44-10 win in Evanston.

“Certainly you want to score more points, you want to get points on the board,” Franks said. “We’re going to keep trying to see if we can’t find ways

to do that. “Kevin Bentley’s their leading returning tackier and in the Big 10, most everybody runs the ball. You’ve got to have some beef up front, you have to have aggressive linebackers. What we’ve got to do is try to utilize their aggressive nature and see if we can keep them off-balance a little bit.”

After regulation, the score was dead-locked, 9-9, following a field goal exhibition by each team’s kicker.

They coached together in the BlueGray game, but these two head coaches, both in their second seasons at their respective schools, are in a battle to bring their teams from the bottom back to the top.

Northwestern returns Damien Anderson, whose 306 carries last year led the Big 10. If there is one silver-lining to Duke’s defense, however, it’s the linebackers, with Todd DeLamielleure and Kendral Knight. But they can’t compensate for an extremely young defensive line. The Wildcats have widened their offense, an interesting move that might help them in their conference. But tomorrow, it will almost definitely help them against Duke, a team with a secondary sorely lacking in experience. Wide receiver depth is Northwestern’s biggest strength and gives QB Zak Kustok plenty of options. Northwestern has an experienced special teams, although it didn’t see much action in the opener against Northern Illinois. Senior Tim Long, who hit 12of-18 field goals last season, isn’t a bad kicker. Junior punter J.J. Standring was steady at an average of 40.5 yards per punt.

The Big 10 is a conference that swoons toward the run and Northwestern’s defense is geared toward it. Duane Epperson rushed for 35 yards last week, and that was the Blue Devils’ leader. Chris Douglas played his first game against ECU. As long as the Wildcats’ defense is consistent, it should have no problem here. Spencer Romine led the offense against Northwestern in 1998, passing for 303 yards in a 44-10 win. ECU had a stronger defense and although Northwestern’s might be bigger, they’re also slower. With a game under the belts of WRs Jeremy Battier and Reggie Love, Duke will shine here if they are to win. Brian Morton was one of the high points last weekend for Duke, with an average of 42.6 yards/punt. Again, last year, kicker Sims Lenhardt was Duke’s only scorer, with four field goals. But for Duke fans to see Brent Garber in action, Duke will have to get past Northwestern’s 41-yard line.

To be fair, East Carolina, which is probably top-25 material, wasn’t an equal matchup. Northwestern is better suited for Duke and tomorrow’s game provides Duke a prime opportunity for a win, although it won’t be easy. While Northwestern is certainly no Big 10 championship contender as it was in 1995 and 1996, it’s on the upswing and the 17 starters who return from last season might simply outweigh the 11 starters that remain from Duke. Both sides expect a real battle, much like last year’s game. The difference is that last year Northwestern lost its season opener to Miami, 28-3, whereas this time it beat Northern Illinois, 35-17. And Duke only lost to East Carolina by 18 points in its season opener, not 38. If Northwestern could beat Duke last season, even in & sqUbeftdrJt By Kevin Lees he'thfrfavorite this time around.

Split decision in goal paying off for Duke Butler represents Women’s Soccer potential problem Nike/Carolina

� W. SOCCER from page 19 think that my administrators look at it that way,” Hempen said. “We don’t play a great deal of home games, so I count these as ‘close-by games’ for people to come see our kids play.” While the Blue Devils are glad that the commute to Chapel Hill doesn’t consist of all the rigors that one would normally associate with traveling to road games, in many respects, they will be a little sad to play on friendly turf, as they have won all three of their games this season away from home. They were especially happy after their wins last

weekend against Maryland and Richmond, two teams who have presented difficulties for Duke in the past. “We were very excited,” freshman forward Gwendolyn Oxenham said. “We worked hard and came together as a team and we’re proud ofthat.” Part of this coming-together process has resulted in a very different chemistry from last year’s squad, which was dominated by leading scorer Sherrill Kester (who has now graduated) and currentlyinjured senior Kasey Truman. This year’s edition has featured strong performances from both upperclassmen, like junior forward Sarah Pickens, who has scored in all three contests, and newcomers like Oxenham, who has already notched two goals on the season.

And this blend has been especially noticeable at the goalie position, where senior Isis Dallis has platooned with Icelandic freshman keeper Thora Helgadottir. The two split time in Duke’s game against Maryland last Friday and Helgadottir made her first career start two days later at Richmond. While Helgadottir, who has not given up any goals yet this season, has challenged the seasoned veteran for playing time, Hempen insists that there is no controversy among the two. “Isis is definitely going to start [tonight] and Thora is going to start on Sunday. We’ve spoken with them and they understand that,” Hempen said. “They’re both quality goalkeepers and they both deserve to play.” Hempen’s decision to split time between his goalies

is just one component of a larger process ofstrengthening Duke’s defense, an objective that the Blue Devils have been focusing on throughout much of the preseason and early part of the regular season. “If you organized defensively you can win,” Hempen said. “We just want to make sure we leave no stone unturned as far as making sure everybody understands their job all the time.” The likelihood ofDuke’s efforts paying off this weekend are quite high, as it faces two teams, Oregon and South Carolina, who have gotten off to mediocre starts this season. Hempen, though, believes that both games could be difficult because each team possesses certain strengths despite their poor records. Oregon, for one, will likely employ a similar strategy to that ofNo. 1 North Carolina, as all of its coaching staff is comprised of converts from the Tar Heel program. “Anytime you play against a team that has a former assistant coach at UNC as its coach, you have to be leery and prepared to combat a direct team,” Hempen said. “They’ve given up some goals, so I’m sure they’re organizing their defense and I know that they’re going to be a very straightforward, run-at-you type of team. Those are some ofthe things we’re going to have to prepare for.” And Hempen also expects a serious challenge from South Carolina, a perennial SEC contender that has started off its season in a disappointing fashion. “Everybody’s going to take a hit sooner or later and it looks like they’ve taken their [hit] early,” Hempen said. “Sue Kelly is a good coach and she’s going to have her team ready to do battle against a Carolina team and a Duke team that certainly wants to defend their turf as well.”

South African national under-17 team last year. Though they have been trampled 5-0 in both of their first two contests this season, they have dared to take on strong soccer programs such as UCLA and Portland—and their experience against big-name competition could prove worrisome for Duke. Another potential concern for Rennie is that his troops might take the Blackbirds and Bulldogs too lightly. Neither team possesses the athletic capability of the Blue Devils’ previous two opponents, and Duke just might not have the emotional fortitude to play these games with maximum intensity. “There should not be any signs of a letdown,” Rennie said. “LIU and Butler are Division I programs. Obviously, these are going to be some great games this weekend.” Though the season is in its relative infancy, Duke faces a “must-win” weekend on its trek back to national prominence. “I’m up for winning these games this weekend,” highly touted Duke freshman forward Danny Wymer said. “So is everyone else on this team. We are committed to climbing ourselves all the way to the top of the rankings again. It all starts now.”

The Chronicle

301 FLOWERS Tradition would have the Grid Pickers travel to Evanston this week for a quality Duke football game, but thanks to an increased desire to buy Associated Press pictures, they ended up stuck in Durham due to “lack of funds.” Actually, they couldn’t even make it out of The Chronicle office. Greg “you guys are all” Pessin “me off” and Brody Konow “it all” Greenwald were too busy to do any serious picking; instead, they kept trying to figure out how to lay out a paper. Greg had to leave every five minutes to puke from his “exhaustion.” “Dude, how come the Fall Sports Preview didn’t print right, dude,” Greenwald asked. “Brody, you take too long,” Pessin said. “And no! You can’t steal pictures.” Ray “not so” Holloman “as Kevin Bacon” had it all figured out though. “This is easy,” he said. “At Sports Illustrated we did this stuff all the time.” Kevin Lloyd “this is a bad football team” also had SI on his mind. “I know they had that stuff about Weinke and sex in here somewhere,” he said. Harold “I’m going to spill my” Guttman couldn’t be reached for comment. He kept going to the Hall of Fame room with Greenwald’s teddy bear for free food.
