Secret societies:

same-sex

The mystery behind two societies is revealed after many decades of secrets and silence By ELLEN MIELKE The Chronicle

They are the remnants of a culture that used to be prevalent at Duke—secret societies. By far, the grandest era of secret societies at Duke came during the ’4os and ’sos, when two organizations gained an influential role in campus life. The Order of the Red Friars sprung up in 1913 at Trinity College with the mission of creating a spirit of loyalty and interest in the school. Senior members selected seven new junior initiates during public ceremonies in front of the Chapel. “There was a tradition of a lot of this type of stuff on college campuses,” said University Archivist Bill King. “Duke’s were really only quasisecret. People knew who they were.” These initiations, or “tappings”—so called because new members were tapped on the back to signify that they had been chosen—usually took place in late spring. One shrouded member would stand in front of the Chapel early in the morning to signify that the tappings would be that day, King said. Soon, students would gather to see who the new members would be. Typically, secret society members were campus leaders, and of no surprise to the rest of the student body. TOP: UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES.

After formal and informal discussions that lasted several months, the Freeman Center for Jewish Life has opened its doors to Jewish couples who wish to have same-sex unions. Last Thursday, the center’s Board of Directors decided to incorporate the decision into a broader policy addressing the needs of all Jewish faiths. “We are a pluralistic community, and we attempt not to dictate Jewish tradition and belief but rather encompass the whole range of expressions that are part of modern Judaism,” said Roger Kaplan, director of the FCJL. Debate about same-sex unions at the FCJL heated up in April when the Central Conference of American Rabbis, a Reform organization, said it would allow its members to perform such ceremonies. The Reconstructionist branch of Judaism also permits samesex unions. Kaplan said no couples have approached him about having a same-sex union in the FCJL, and the center’s Conservative rabbi, Bruce Seltzer, will not perform the unions. But because of this new policy, otherrabbis would be able to perform the ceremonies in the facility. Seltzer said that he is bound by the rules of Conservative Judaism and would likely go before an ethics board if he performed a same-sex union. “The fact that I might not be able to See SAME-SEX on page 8

Dems, Libertarians face off in District 23 election By SARAH McGDLL The Chronicle

As North Carolina charges into the 21st century, the General Assembly faces a host of new and lingering questions. In a state with a weak governor’s office, members of the House and Senate will craft legislation involving transportation, education, health care, the administration of justice and other issues. The House District 23 election will send three Durham residents to the state House this year. The race pits two Libertarians with no previous experience in elected office—Ray Übinger and Robert Dorsey—against three Democrats—Paul Luebke, Mickey Michaux and Paul Miller—who have a combined 35 years in state and local government. All five candidates bring different priorities and goals to the race. Both Libertarians would like to see a less powerful and less expensive state government. Dorsey’s primary objective is to revamp the school system by offering

tax credits to organizations and individuals that would pay to send a child to private school. The IBM engineer said that the tax credits would give parents power over their children’s education. Übinger is running on a platform dominated by a single issue: the North Carolina electoral process. Currently, for write-in votes to be potential write-in Election 2000 , counted, candidates must first register with the state. And that, Übinger contends, is an assault on American democracy and Sixr£& Local the Constitution. The clinical data assistant at Duke’s medical center said after restoring “free elections,” he would work toward a standard Libertarian program of tax, gun, drug and personal freedom. Luebke said the legislature should focus directly on public schools instead of funding a tax credit or voucher program. A professor at the University of North

Carolina at Greensboro, Luebke wants to close tax loopholes for businesses and get rid of the remaining two-cent food tax, which he characterized as an unfair penalty for lower and lower-middle class citizens. Education is also on the mind of Michaux, who said he would work to give historically black schools their “fair share” of school bond money if the bond referendum is passed, and get class sizes lowered. The attorney said he would also place emphasis on criminal justice reform, including a review of the habitual

felon law.

Miller, who served on the Durham City Council from 1995 to 1999, said he would work to hand more control over from the state government to local governments. The independent computer consultant, whose controversial election in the May primaries ousted longtime incumbent George Miller, said he

would also focus on increasing pay for public school teachers. For profiles of the individual candidates, see page 6.

DATA bus stop changes location � After the Durham Area Transit Authority moved its service stop away from the West Campus bus stop, many employees are complaining about the long walk. By JANNA FISHMAN The Chronicle

For many Duke employees and students, the walk to the bus stop just got a little longer. Two weeks ago, the Durham Area Transit Authority cut off its service to the West Campus bus stop. Now, patrons must catch DATA buses at the traffic circle or behind the Allen Building on Flowers Drive. “I don’t think it’s fair because the employees have to get to work on time,” said Rosa Mims, a food service worker in the Great Hall. “It’s unfair because [DATA] left us to our own devices and... it’s a long walk.” Pierre Owusu, who serves as transit planner for Durham, explained that the change was a matter of trade-offs. By cutting the time needed to reach West Campus, the bus will be able to service other patrons who ordinarily would have had to walk long distances. ‘This was an instance where service can be streamlined. In the future, if we have more buses, we can make changes to the route,” Owusu said. Now, DATA bus drivers will be able to extend their route to the Washington Duke Inn. Previously, employees had to walk about a half-mile down Morreene Road to catch their bus. Employees said they received no formal notice or explanation about the change. Many speculated that the primary reason for the change was an accident last spring in which a student was struck and injured by a DATA bus at the West Campus bus stop. “I heard it all started from the girl who was hit by the bus,” said Chick-Fil-A employee Ethel Collins. “But nobody has given us an official reason.” Duke officials denied those rumors. Collins, who has arthritis in her knee, says that the walk from the traffic circle to West Campus is difficult, especially in the early morning darkness.

Currently, the University has not offered additional

services for employees with health conditions. Duke officials have reiterated that they had nothing to do with the change in the DATA route. See DATA BUS on page 9

A legacy

of art

A new exhibit at three Durham venues displays art from historically black colleges By BECKY YOUNG The Chronicle

Conservation, documentation and exhibition.

iiillil

This three-fold concept is the focus of To Conserve a from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, an exhibit currently on display in Durham. The idea behind the exhibit, which contains 260 pieces of art, including paintings, prints, drawings, photographs and sculptures, is to highlight the work of black artists in the context of the work of their peers. The exhibit, however, does not contain work only by black artists. Running until Dec. 3, the exhibit is part of a seven-city national tour. The venues for the North Carolina exhibit include North Carolina Central University, the Duke Center for Documentary Studies and the Duke University Museum of Art. All of the artwork comes from the collections of six historically black colleges and universities: Clark Atlanta University, Fisk University, Hampton University, Howard University, North Carolina Central University and Tuskegee University. These universities’ participation hinged on a desire to help preserve very important pieces of art. “7b Conserve a Legacy is a major project,” said Lynn McKnight, communications director for the Duke Center for Documentary Studies. “It’s more than just an exhibit because there’s a conservation ele-

ment.” Duke has a special link to the exhibit through cocurator Richard Powell, who is also chair of Duke’s art and art history department. The other curator is Jock Reynolds, director of the Yale University Art

Gallery. The curators envisioned assembling an exhibit that not only profiled the artwork, but also gave back to the institutions through different methods of conservation and support. “It was important to pull the artwork together in away to tell the story” Powell explained. “We wanted to tell the story ofAmerican art that one sees through the lenses of the art of these six institutions.” Powell said that at the opening, he heard people discussing the fact that they had been in Durham most oftheir lives, but had never actually been to either NCCLTs or Duke’s campuses; the exhibition provides a special purpose to visit these venues.

JebBush hit the campaign trail Monday for his brother's presidential run. appearing with their mother at Republican strongholds on the Gulf Coast, Bush has been accused of not doing enough to help George W.

GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH campaigned Monday with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in California, a state once thought to be a lock for Vice President Al Gore By ALISON MITCHELL N.Y. Times News Service

Texas Gov. BURBANK, Calif. George W. Bush hurtled into the stretch run of the presidential race Monday, choosing California instead of the more closely contested states in the Midwest, to portray himself as a unifier and his opponent as a man who practices the “politics of division.” Casting an aura of confidence, Bush insisted that his decision to spend some of the last precious days before the election in a state that has been a Democratic cornerstone of the last two presidential victories would pay off with an upset. Promising that “we will bring America together,” he broadly summed up the rationale for his election.

“Our country has unlimited potential,” Bush told a crowd of several thousand people in an airport hangar in Albuquerque, N.M., where he stopped on

his way to the West Coast. “But our politics is broken—at least in Washington. “You know what’s wrong,” Bush said. ‘Washington is obsessed with scoring points, not solving problems. There is so much anger, so much division, so much important work left undone.” Bush’s insistence that “we can aim higher, we can do better” was designed to contrast with the Democrats’ recent attacks on his record in Texas and his relative inexperience in national politics. Yet even as he pledged to “inspire and unite,” the Republican presidential nominee took withering aim at Vice President A1 Gore. He described his opponent as a defender of the status quo, who was sowing cynicism and was afraid to lead, or to grapple with the looming financial difficulties of the federal programs for the elderly. “Surely the vice president can see these problems,” Bush said. “And yet he will not act. He is surrounded and sup-

ported by interest groups that exist to oppose reform. He seems guided by polls and focus groups that drain politics of its courage.” He said Gore’s “big government ideas are out oftouch with our time and out of step with the American people.” Building to a crescendo, Bush said, “My opponent cannot bring America together because he practices the politics of division. He talks of ripping the lungs out ofpolitical opponents. He scares the elderly for political gain. His campaign attacks are designed to spread falsehood and cynicism.” Bush’s supporters cheered and many of them held up three fingers for “W,” Bush’s middle initial. Bush portrayed himself as a farsighted leader who would not shy away from fixing programs like Medicare and Social Security, which threaten to run out of money in coming decades, or from tackling the lack of quality in the nation’s public schools.

Negativity dominates gubernatorial race Despite popular issues like education, both candidates avoid substantive debate By DENNIS PATTERSON Associated Press

RALEIGH As last Thursday night’s televised gubernatorial debate ground to an end, one observer at the back ofthe old House chamber muttered that it reminded him of the fights he used to have with his ex-wife. For an hour, Democrat Mike Easley and Republican Richard Vinroot presented their views of how government should work, heavily larded with some of the nasty personal attacks that have marked their broadcast ad campaigns in the last several weeks. There was some discussion of whether public schools would be helped more by lowering class sizes or giving vouchers to the parents of students in failing schools. And there was some talk of what role the state should take in health insurance issues. But mostly, the debate sounded like the commercials, with Vinroot charging

North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “The agenda is being set outside the folks who are running the campaign.” Instead, Vinroot focused on trying to associate Easley with Gore, who most polls show trailing George W. Bush among North Carolina voters. Vinroot has closely identified his campaign with Bush, hoping to get some help from Bush’s coattails if his margin of victory is big enough, “Listen to me; I’m not A1 Gore.

Gore promulgates populist message By KATHARINE SEELYE N.Y. Times News Service

FOND DU LAC, Wis. Power to the people was A1 Gore’s cry Monday as he trundled across the fading emerald farmland ofWisconsin in his ongoing struggle to blunt the appeal of Ralph Nader and keep traditionally Democratic states in his column. He promised that as president he would hold an average of one open meeting a week with ordinary citizens. He pledged not to add a single extra job to the federal government. And he returned repeatedly to his vow to make the overhaul ofthe campaign finance system his top legislative priority. “We need to give democracy back to you the people!” Gore declared at a lunchtime rally in front of the copper-domed courthouse in Green Bay. “I believe in listening to the people,” he said. “If you elect me president, I will have an average of one open meeting every week with people throughout this country to get your ideas on a regular basis, to listen to you, to work for you and fight for you.” Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., who—with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,—has championed campaign-finance reform, gave Gore his imprimatur Monday. And Gore spoke at length at his rallies about the importance of diminishing the effect of money in politics—a major plank in Nader’s platform. The long-time consumer advocate’s appeal to voters in states like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Washington and Oregon could tip the election to Gore’s rival, Gov. George W. Bush. Tuesday Gore is to fly from Milwaukee to Portland, Ore., where he hopes a rally can move that state his way. Carter Eskew, a top Gore strategist, said that Gore might break through to Nader voters with two particular themes: campaign finance and a reminder that abortion rights are at stake in this election. Gore focused heavily on both Monday. “The Supreme Court is at risk here,” he said in Green Bay. “Equal rights and women’s rights and civil rights and disability rights and federalism and antitrust law and the basic interpretation of our constitution for the next 30 to 40 years is very much on the ballot this fall.” On the subject of revamping campaign finance, Gore said that the drug companies and insurance industry were backing Bush to protect their profits. “It is morally wrong for the decisions about your health to be made on the basis of what is going to improve the bottom line for an HMO rather than on the basis of what’s best for your health,” Gore said. “The HMOs and the big insurance companies have been able to use their wealth and their political influence and power to convince a majority in the Congress to block a patient’s bill ofrights,” he declared. “They want to stay in control of the medical decisions. And they’re supporting Governor Bush because they want him in control of the medical quality. I want to fight for you.” Gore was not all earnestness Monday. He doffed his jacket at the Green Bay rally, saying: “It’s chilly, but I’m hot, and I’m telling you, this election is hot!”

RDU raises parking fees to finance improvements By EVAN LESTELLE The Chronicle Duke community members groan about parking on campus, but they may encounter an even more cramped situation at the Raleigh-Durham Interna-

tional Airport.

Even with a new parking deck, parking accommodations continue to be cramped at the airport. In order to solve the crunch, the RDU Airport Authority plans to build a new parking deck even larger than the one completed last April. To fund this and other projects, the authority recently announced a parking

rate increase that will become effective early next year. RDU hopes this increase will supply revenue for more than $1 billion in capital improvements that the airport plans to make within the next 10 to 15 years. “It’s important that we keep our revenues up, and that’s what we’re doing by increasing the price of parking,” said Bob Winston, chairman of the RDU Airport Authority. Long-term maximum parking rates will increase by $1 to $2 a day, while daily maximum rates will increase by $2. Hourly rates will remain at $l.

“We will continue to keep our hourly rate at $1 an hour,” said RDU Public Affairs Manager Mike Blanton. “The city parking deck in downtown Durham is $1.50 an hour. This is a pretty good indication of how affordable our rates are.” Winston said the increase is partially the result of a natural inflation within the industry—this is the airport’s first parking rate increase since January 1997.

Airline passenger and Triangle resident Ken Meehan feels that the increase is of little consequence. “Airline prices fluctuate a heck of a lot more than that. I’d rather pay the money and have a higher quality facility,” said Meehan. The airport will need a significant amount of revenue to complete the expensive capital developments it has planned. According to Blanton, three long-term projects are in the works: The most expensive of these is a five year, $650 million venture to completely redevelop and double the size of Terminal A, one of the airport’s oldest terminals.

Administrators praise FCJL policy as ‘thoughtful’ SAME-SEX from page 1 do it does not affect the policy in any way” Seltzer said. “It also doesn’t affect how I deal with individuals.” He added that he can still help couples with other details, such as planning. Kaplan said that the new policy does not target same-sex unions but all lifecycle ceremonies, such as the bris or baby-naming ceremony and the bar or bat mitzvah. As long as one major branch of Judaism allows a ceremony, it will be allowed in the center. The decision comes amidst University-wide debate over same-sex unions in campus facilities. President Nan Keohane and Dean of the Chapel William Willimon recently appointed a ninemember committee to study the issue of the unions in the Chapel and make a recommendation by mid-November. “We are grateful to the board of the FCJL for tackling this issue and for providing their thoughtful recommendation,” Keohane wrote in an e-mail. “I know that it will be helpful to the University-wide committee that is considering the topic.”

The committee has already met twice, and Willimon said the group is on track to complete its deliberations on time. He said he thought the FCJL’s decision was well-thought-out and that the motive behind the move could apply to Chapel policy. Willimon rejected arguments made by Duke Student Government in an Oct. 2 working paper that same-sex unions are a matter of law and discrimination. “The discussion really is, what religious ceremonies ought to be accommodated in these buildings?” Willimon said. “It’s more of a religious accessibility issue.” The Chapel, a non-denominational religious facility, has historically prohibited same-sex unions because of Duke’s long-time affiliation with the United Methodist Church, which recently reiterated its stance against the unions. But students and administrators have long discussed the ethics behind the policy, and Duke’s Board of Trustees approved the new committee’s re-examination of the policy earlier this month.

THE SANCTUARY INSIDE THE FREEMAN CENTER can now host same-sex unions as part of a new policy that accomodates life-cycle ceremonies recognized by any branch of the faith.

Prosperity, ‘Southwest effect’ add to parking crunch

AIRPORT from page 7 The airport also plans to construct a third runway a process that typically takes six years. Airport authorities expect to start preliminary environmental work for the runway sometime next year. To ease the parking crunch, the airport will build a 6,150-space parking deck, priced at $l2O million In the last two years, RDU has spent more than $53 million on parking improvements, and since last December, the airport has added 4,100 parking spaces. The most expensive parking project to date was the construction of a $4O million parking deck across from Terminal A that opened in April. That deck alleviated some ofthe crunch, but Triangle resident Kay Bradshaw said parking remains P!

troublesome. “Even though they built the parking deck, it’s al-

ways a problem. You never know which lots are full. If it were more convenient to have someone drop us off and pick us up, then we’d do that,” she said. Winston attributed the parking crunch to prosperous economic growth that has created opportunities for heavy development within the Triangle area. “If you look at our growth patterns, we’ve increased our parking in conjunction with the growth of the airport,” Winston said. Last year, RDU experienced a 24 percent growth in passenger traffic and was the second fastest growing airport in the country. The emergence of Southwest Airlines in RDU also has caused a jump in parking needs. Winston said that when Southwest Airlines moves into an airport, its low fares cause other airlines to lower their fares to compete—attracting more customers all around. This trend is defined by the United States Depart-

ment of Transportation as the “Southwest effect.” “A lot of Southwest passengers drive, especially from distances. The demand that has been created for Southwest Airlines causes a need for more parking,” Winston said. He added that the biggest challenge RDU will face will come during the next holiday season. Duke junior Ben Koh, who has parked at the airport for the past few years, said the airport can get very crowded during holidays. “Everyone goes on vacation at once, like Duke, UNC,” he said. He added, however, that the parking situation is never unreasonable. “If you get there with enough time to spare, it’s not that bad.” Airport authorities are optimistic that their plans will meet their customers’ needs.'The whole reason for what we’re doing is to respond to the demand of the public,” said Winston.

Employees lament DATA stop’s move -

DATA BUS from page 3

“Duke did not make the decision. This is strictly a downtown DATA bus decision,” said Stephen Burrell, director of transit. “We have parking lot shuttles that... do serve employees in the morning. We also pick up dining and housekeeping [employees! on a bus that runs at 5:00 a.m.” Despite these options, some employees feel that the situation is still inconvenient. Others offered suggestions for what can be done to make improvements. “DATA is my mode of transportation to and from work,” said Cynthia Grossman, assistant to the director of graduate studies in political science. “Walking to the [West Campus bus stop] is dangerous and, at my age... I want to avoid any broken bones. Personally, I would not mind paying if Duke provided a shuttle from downtown for those of us who work near the Chapel.”

1971, the members, as well as alumni, made the collective decision to end the group because it seemed too elitist and student interest had waned. King added that towards the end of both the Duchy’s and the Red Friars’ existence, they were mocked on campus by groups including The Order of the Chair, which used a toilet at imitation tappings and dressed people in humorous costumes. Such outside pressures, and a college environment much different from that of the 19405, resulted in the secret societies’ demise... or did it? The hooded members occasionally seen on campus today are believed to be a modem-day version of the Old Trinity Club. This secret society was not as notorious and much less is known about it. It was apparently made up of seven senior men, as were most of the societies in Duke’s past, but the details of its history ends there. “I believe the Old Trinity Club still exists, although I know very little about its current existence,” said Wasiolek. A 1979 picture in The Chronicle shows a man wearing a black robe and sunglasses, much like today’s group does. The caption identifies him as a member ofthe Old Trinity Club. Members of the current society declined to comment due to pressure from within the group to maintain the sanctity of the organization. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a secret, now would it?

Foreign debt freedom Maybe

poor countries can catch up, after all. Last week, Congress approved a $435 million plan that will relieve the heavy burden of unserviceable debts from 30 ofthe world’s poorest countries. Debt forgiveness will not only allow these countries to feed their people today, but will also be beneficial to the development of their economies. A large portion of this debt could never have been paid anyway, as many of these countries have severely shaky economies where funds to repay the loans are not now available. What little funds are available have to be directed towards crucial humanitarian concerns. In the near future this scenario is not likely to change, shy of significant intervention. And this bill, along with the efforts of Jubilee 2000, an international Catholic Church effort to help poor nations, could provide the sort of changes that are needed. This is not an idealistic mistake, but an important measure that will yield real results. This bill has been supported by people as diverse as President Clinton, Pope John Paul 11, U2 lead singer Bono and, as of late, Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C. Helms, a politician often noted for taking a staunch party line, has moved in mysterious ways. This is a fine showing of the kind of bipartisanship and leadership that should expected of senior members of Congress. North Carolinians should be proud of the bold stance that Helms took on this issue. Take, for example, the case of Bolivia. This is a country that has made important economic reforms and has cooperated in the fight against illegal drugs. Bolivia currently pays $35 per citizen per year to cover the cost of its debt payments. This cost is more than Bolivia currently spends on health care and education combined. In countries like Bolivia, where the cost of living is low, this debt relief plays a significant role in fighting extreme poverty. There is a legitimate concern that if the United States indiscriminately cancels foreign debt, that the money owed to the United States could be wrongly channeled to bureaucratic “fat cats” in countries where their citizens are starving. However, the plan approved by Congress compensates for this potential hazard by hand-selecting countries that will receive debt relief, countries in which the funds from a forgiven debt will benefit the masses, not the few. This should be the extent ofthe U.S.’s involvement in monitoring what the forgiven debt is used for. Every developing nation has its own specific economic plan and it is arrogant and unfair to tell another country how to use the funds that come from forgiving its debt. That is the same as attempting to buy political influence in another country and it is wrong. Debt relief represents a positive turn in US. foreign policy. The results of this $435 million plan should be studied in order to determine whether this is a type ofplan that this country should pursue in the future.

Nader needs

votes to

People say that a vote for Ralph Nader is a vote for Gov. George W. Bush. I have got news for you, a vote for Vice President A1 Gore is a vote for Bush and vice versa. They are the practically the same candidate. The major difference is Gore lies about stupid stuff and looking at him gives me the willies. But on issues, it takes a magnifying glass to find stark contrasts. Gore tries to create disparity by arguing that Bush will nominate an almost fascist Supreme Court that will abolish abortion forever. The truth is Bush has appointed moderate judges in Texas, and abortion has never been a litmus test for him. Bush and Gore both the support Second Amendment, they both agree that the death penal-

ty is necessary, that government should be smaller, and both are in the pockets of special interests. Obviously, there are different nuances but their policies are so molded to appeal to what an average soccer mom driving down main street USA in the heartland of America wants that there is little

real distinction. If anything, Gore just seems like a poor man’s version of Bush. At least Bush sticks with his policies (once he understands them); Gore is willing to say whatever sounds best to a certain group at a particular time. However, if you decided to “throw your vote away” on Nader and he managed to

get federal matching funds in 2004, then you would have helped to create a viable third party. Yes, Bush

wins.

The only difference is that the Green Party will have more money (hence more media coverage) and will be able to reach more people. This broader coverage will create a new polarity in politics that will manifest in a stronger democracy where more views will be

given a voice. So in a couple Tuesdays, if you want to vote, then vote your heart. Your single vote does not matter in a national election, but doing what is right should matter to you.

Fuzzy election? Ask Ralph and “Bush.” And before you think that this column is going to knock down both candidates and then issue a blank

Martin Barna “Gore.”

"Bush.”

“Gore” “Bush.” Welcome to the mind of the undecided voter.

“Gore.” After the longest campaign in history—which started in December 1998, unless you are Lamar Alexander, in which case your campaign started in March 1996somehow there are voters out there who cannot make up their minds, “Bush” I think the reason for that is clear —we have two

amazing candidates who represent all that America can be and present bold, dramatic choices for our future. “Gore.” Hardly, right Ralph? “Bush.” We have two favorite sons whose connections and money bought them the nominations ofthe major political parties. We have two guys who dress the same and have a combined charisma equal to one-tenth of Bill Clinton’s. We have an eternal exaggerator versus someone who cannot pronounce eternal or exaggerator. Isn't that how it is, Ralph? “Gore” We have the guy whose greatest accomplishment is the signing off of over 100 executions against the guy who solidified his support with a smooch. Ralph*'’ Well, not exactly.

check to third party candidates, let’s make it dear: Ralph Nader may be a nice guy who has done a lot to making plastic bags safer and air bags slightly safer, but he is in no way whatsoever qualified to be the next president “Gore.” Nader is nothing more than a name on theIf'list'. He represents the jean jacket of politics——chic for about a day, but now pretty drab. His candidacy which seems to be solely about supporting a couple of radical ideals that are totally impractica l because ofthe existence ofreality. “Bush.” And Nader is just not real, Neither is Pat Buchanan. Harry Browne is certainly not real; in fact he is so unreal that he makes Nader seem very believable—the same way that if we believe in a rabbit running around and bringing candy every April, Santa Claus suddenly seems plausible.

“Core.” And that is just about what his campaign tow become—a" quest by Nadar to prove something real that is as phony as a compassionate conservative who executes people. “Bush/’ The central promise of the Nader campaign—that the two candidates aro the same person who stand for the Same things ds totally invented. Look at foreign pollsupports some kind of neo-isolationist policy that would have sat out Kosovo.

Shakespeare Express presents

Tl)e Roaring Girl By Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker Written by Shakespeare’s competitors Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, The Roaring Girl is part rollicking romantic comedy and part bawdy documentary about a notorious woman named Mary Firth, a.k.a. Moll Cutpurse, who, defying religious and legal authority, dressed as a man, picked pockets, brawled in taverns, and fought against the double standard. Moll’s notoriety turned into popularity, and her iconoclastic fighting spirit made her the perfect heroine for a play that exposes the rakes and scoundrels of Renaissance London, while it also gives us a remarkable early spokesperson for the cause of women.

In addition, the Center for Documentary Studies will host “Legacy of the Photographic Image” Nov. 5, in which a photographic archivist and paper conservator will explain the process for preserving both the exhibit s artwork as well as their own personal photographs through traditional and digital techniques. “I think each institution looked at what their strengths are and have centered their focus around that,” McKnight said. Susan Page, program coordinator for the CDS, explained that there are six themes to the exhibition. The CDS houses the group entitled “Training the Head, the Hand, and the Heart”. The other themes include “Forever Free: Emancipation Visualized,” “The First Americans,” ‘The American Portrait Gallery,” “American Expressionism” and “Modem Lives, Modern Impulses.”

‘The themes we explore in this exhibit... help us with the legacy issue,” Powell said. Describing some of the photographs currently on display at the CDS, Page said, “The way they interpret [the theme] is the head is the book part... the hand is teaching people a trade... and the heart is the spiritual guidance.” Page stressed the importance of the photographs because, in general, people do not always consider photos to be artwork. “For me, it was nice to have an ex-

hibit that combines both [paintings and photographs] so that [the photos] weren’t belittled,” she said. Part of the exhibit’s draw is that less-typical art viewers, like students, can take away a great deal from the project. “One thing students may miss initially, but once they get into the exhibit may realize it, is that much of this is art created by young people,” Powell said. “Sometimes young people don’t realize they have the ability and capacity to create something this monumental... I would hope they take from this exhibit inspiration.”

past five years, applications have fallen by 47 and 36 percent respectively. Part of the reason the applications are declining is there are fewer jobs in english and literature,” Wolfram said. “Linguistics is a little different. We’ve had no trouble placing people with linguistics.” In addition to academia, Wolfram said there is a growing demand for linguistics skills from corporations in fields such as voice recognition technology. Linguistics is offered as a doctoral degree program at only a handful of institutions, but Duke administrators said that it is one of the few fields in

the humanities and social sciences that Duke continues to struggle with. “Linguistics is probably the only major field... in which Duke is not represented,” said Dean of the

Graduate School Lewis Siegel. “We’re looking at this and considering several options.” The new program is not Duke’s first attempt to form a linguistics partnership. Siegel said Duke has tried to form a joint program with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but complications with scheduling ended that partnership possibility. Although UNC’s linguistics program focuses primarily on theoretical linguistics, students who pass through Duke’s joint program will have the option of taking classes in Chapel Hill.

� Women’s soccer gets 5-seed in ACCs The Duke women’s soccer team, which hosts the ACC tournament at Koskinen Stadium this weekend, has received the number five seed in the four-day event. Duke begins its tournament run against No. 4 seed Virginia Thursday at 6 p.m.

� Field hockey also earns 5-seed The Duke field hockey team was named the No. 5 seed in this weekend's ACC tournament at Artificial Turf Facility in College Park, Md. The Blue Devils' first round opponent will be the No. 4 seeded Virginia Cavaliers.

Football team reflects on continuing woes After losing to Maryland three days ago, Duke now sets its sights on Saturday’s game against Wake Forest

The problems never stop for the football team. Aside from the fact they are entering November winless, their quarterback situation is as solidified as Jell-0 and their receivers can’t catch a stomach virus if they tried, the Blue Devils now have to deal with a new situation—an offensive line with more holes than Bush’s economic plan. In Saturday’s game against Maryland’s No. 110 ranked defense, quarterback D. Bryant found himself on the ground seven times, and backup quarterback Spencer

Romine was looking up at the sky twice in tour plays. Part of this was due to the fact that the quarterbacks may have held on to the ball longer, but much of it was caused by the offensive line s inability to block. We need to play better up front,” coach Carl Franks said. “D. doesn’t need to hold the ball as long either.” At least the Blue Devils will have Bryant starting in their upcoming game against alsowmless Wake Forest. Bryant came out late in the game after feeling woozy from a hard hit, but is practicing and back to full strength, Franks, however, would not rule out playing Romine at some point in the game.

� Blue Jays name 2 finalists for managerial job Toronto will choose between Buck Martinez and Ken Macha to serve as its next manager. Blue Jays general manager Gordon Upshaw notified four other candidates—Ernie Whitt, Jerry Royster, Hal Mcßae and Willie Upshaw—that they were no longer in the running for the post, leaving Martinez and Macha as the only remaining candidates. The Blue Jays decided not to renew Jim Fregosi’s contract on Oct. 11.

� Panthers lose Walls for season Tight end Wesley Walls, who went down in the third quarter of the Panthers' game against the Falcons Sunday, has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that will force him to miss the remainder of the season. Walls is the second Carolina receiver to go down with an ACL injury this season, the first being wide receiver Patrick Jeffers, who tore his right ACL in a preseason exhibition game.

� Oklahoma grabs top spot in BCS rankings After their convincing win over Nebraska last weekend, the Oklahoma Sooners have taken the No. 1 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series ratings. The BCS rankings are determined by averaging certain characteristics of the weekly Associated Press and ESPN/ USA Today coaches polls.

OMAR OUINTERO/THE CHRONICLE

D. BRYANT prepares to make a hand-off in Duke’s game against Maryland Saturday.This weekend, coach Carl Franks plans on starting Bryant again, but he will consider playing senior Spencer Romine as well.

“I felt bad putting [Romine] in there when I did,” Franks said. “But I didn’t have much of a choice. He didn’t complain, and he got knocked around a bunch. But he does have experience and does a good job of getting to the right place. His arm strength isn’t what it used to be, and he’s not as mobile as D., but he’s always a consideration.” Whether Romine is in the game or not may be a moot point for a stagnant offense that does not even know its playbook this late into the season. Twice during the game Bryant was picked off in the redzone and one of those wasn’t even his error. “The interception in the endzone was not D.’s fault,” Franks said. “I got on him for it, but from where I was standing I didn’t see we had someone run the wrong route.” In order to win this weekend against the 0-7 Demon Deacons, the Blue Devils must do more than run the correct route. A victory is almost a must for the Blue Devils because with games against N.C. State and North Carolina on the horizon, they have only an outside chance of chalking up a win this season. Without it, the team could possibly be doomed to go 0-11 for the second

time in five years. ‘Trying to win is probably the most important thing for our football team,” Franks said. ‘They’ve been trying to do that. Now we’ve got to go play well enough to actually do it on the scoreboard. I’ve heard people say that winning isn’t everything, but trying to win is everything. Our team has been trying veiy hard; we just haven’t been able to find whatever formula it is to get enough points on the board in

order to get the first win.”

Titans hold on, defeat ’Skins 27-21 at Fedex Field By JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press

Had 27 LANDOVER, Md. Titans Samari Rolle returned the Redskins 21 interception 80 yards, it wouldn’t have meant a thing. Instead, Rolle stumbled his weary body across the goal line for that final yard on the last play of the first half, and the Tennessee Titans were on their way to their seventh consecutive victory. Rolle’s score was one of two touchdown on returns for the Titans as they beat Washington 27-21 last night, ending the Redskins’ five-game winning streak. “It came down to two plays: the punt return and the interception before halftime,” Washington quarterback Brad Johnson said. “Basically, that was the ball game.” Derrick Mason returned a punt 69 yards and former Washington tight end Frank Wycheck caught an 18-yard TD pass as the Titans (7-1) maintained a two-game lead over Pittsburgh in the AFC Central. “Again this football team found away to win,” Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said. “It was not necessarily the conventiorial way.” The loss knocked the Redskins (6-3) out of first place in the NFC East, one-half game behind the New York Giants. Washington’s players put a premium on winning this game under the national spotlight after losing a Monday night game to Dallas earlier this year. ‘You’ve got to win these games at home,” Johnson said. “We’ve lost two big games at home on Monday night.” Rolle’s interception was as dramatic as

The Redskins, trailing 13-7, had the ball on the Titans’ 34 with 10 seconds remaining in the half. Johnson tried to force a pass, and Rolle stepped in front of Irving Fryar and caught the ball at the 19. Then, knowing that he had to run it all the way back because time had expired, Rolle went from sideline to sideline, reading his blocks all the way to the end zone.

“It was a huge play,” Fisher said. “Everybody knew the time was out and it was either you get in the end zone or you don’t. He spent halftime catching his breath.” Rolle was buried under a pile of celebrating teammates in the end zone and couldn’t make it off the field without an injury timeout. Sec

Injured Heisman candidate Vick hopes to return tomorrow By LARRY O’DELL Associated Press

Michael Vick, on crutches and unable to put weight on his right foot, thinks his ankle is improving. But the Virginia Tech quarterback believes he must practice by Wednesday if he hopes to start for the No. 2 Hokies in their showdown at No. 3 Miami. Vick sprained his right ankle when he was sacked just before halftime of Saturday night’s 37-34 victory over the Pitt Panthers.

“I can’t really say what’s going to happen this week,” Vick said during a conference call. “I think by Wednesday, I’m going to have to start getting some reps in practice. You can’t go a whole

week without practicing,” Hokies coach Frank Beamer said Vick’s availability could be a game-time decision, even if the sophomore doesn’t practice all week. Vick was also confident that he could play without practicing, but said fifth-year senior Dave Meyer “would
