Ewell leaves Durham for Calif. Dean of Chapel releases report By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

It’s official. After weeks of speculation, City Manager Lament Ewell announced Thursday that he will step down from his Durham post to accept a similar position in San Diego, Calif. “One might conclude that mine was an easy decision. I want to assure you it was not,” he said at a press conference at city hall. “I labored over this decision.” Ewell, a California native, said that the personal and professional opportunities offered in San Diego were too large for him to pass up. Ewell will leave his Durham position Dec. 25 and begin his tenure as the assistant manager of San Diego a week later. The number two San Diego position will require Ewell to help administer the nation’s sixth-largest city and a budget of over $2 billion. “When I look at it on balance, this was a good decision for me.... Professionally, the challenges of dealing with a budget literally in the billions... is one that interests me,” he said. “It is one of the things that my wife of 24 years and I have agreed on.

Night life nearly void of faculty but replete with uncivil behavior and sometimes irresponsible drinking, a university concerned more with producing research than developing human beings—this is the picture painted by Dean of the Chapel William Willimon in a report to President Nan Keohane released yesterday. Keohane asked Willimon in September to revisit his 1993 study of student life, in which the professor of Christian ministry criticized the University for neglecting students’ experiences outside the classroom. The new study, called “Old Duke, New Duke,” reiterates many of the same themes and comes at a crucial crossroad as Duke searches for its next vice Will Willimon president for student affairs and begins to seriously examine its alcohol policy. Alcohol Willimon’s report urges the University to take a larger role in all areas of student life, including alcohol. “Part of a university’s mission is to give talented young members of a community the means to rise above the limits of their society,” he wrote. “Duke must not be a haven for disobeying the law nor must our See WILLIMON REPORT on page 10

Florida court backs Palm Beach recount By TODD PURDUM

N.Y. Times News Service

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The Florida Supreme Court ruled Thursday that at least two predominantly Democratic counties could continue recounting ballots by hand, but a handful of pending legal challenges left it unclear whether any such votes would officially count in determining the outcome of the presidential race.

The state Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion, issued in one paragraph without comment late Thursday afternoon, upheld lower court rulings al-

lowing recounts and created some vulnerability for Gov. George W. Bush of Texas, who leads by a mere 300 votes in the state’s official tally. It paved the way for Palm Beach County to join Broward County, where a recount was already underway, in manually recounting a total of some 1 million ballots.

That could potentially give Vice President A1 Gore an unofficial lead that would instantly become public knowledge—a psychological reversal that the Bush campaign has been struggling to avoid. But the question of whether any such recounts would be included in the

state’s official results, and thus in awarding Florida’s 25 electoral votes, was not before the high court Thursday. That issue was left for Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis in Tallahassee to rule Friday on whether Florida’s secretary of state, Katherine Harris, a Republican, abused her discretion by announcing Wednesday that she would not consider any such late results, even before she received them. Lewis said he would issue a decision at 10 a.m. today. Lawyers for Bush on Thursday filed papers with a federal appeals court in AtSee ELECTION on page 8

Latinos gain political attention This is the last story in a five-part series about Latino issues at Duke and in North Carolina.

By TREY DAVIS The Chronicle

As the number of Latinos living in North Carolina continues to grow rapidly, the political institutions of the state are starting to take notice—especially on the local level. “Today the communities are more visible and represented,” said Aura Camancho Maas, a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Hispanic/Latino Affairs. She is also the

founder and director of the American Latino Resource Center in Raleigh, an institution that works to raise levels of communication between cultures. Aside from seeing the sheer numbers of the Latino community rise, Maas has also noticed that diversity within the communities has grown. “As immigration takes place, you will find a greater diversity within these cul-

tures,” she said. This cultural diversity also plays out along political lines. Although it has been noted that See LATINOS on page 16 >

Vietnam welcomes U.S. president

Clinton will first address a young generation that relishes economic freedom not just the future of the country; it is the vibrant, industrious present. They buzz to jobs at new private companies or to their own small businesses on the backs of motorbikes, pressing cellular phones to their ears. Less-skilled young people hawk postcards, pirated books and CDs on the streets with enough tenacity and nonstop sales talk to peddle the Brooklyn Bridge. The energy and commercial enterprise of the under-40 population has powered Vietnam’s growth since the communist leadership relaxed rules against trade and private enterprise a decade ago, and the United States lifted its embargo in 1994. At $370 a year, Vietnam still has

By INDIRA LAKSHMANAN The Boston Globe

Sixty percent of VietHANOI nam’s population had not yet been born when what they call the “American War” ended. Another 20 percent were 15 or younger when Saigon fell to the North in 1975, and neither remember nor feel bitter about the long, bloody conflict to repel American “imperialists.” And so it makes sense that President Bill Clinton planned to address young people at Vietnam National University in Hanoi Friday to outline his vision of future U.S.-Vietnamese relations in the one live-television address of his three-day visit. Vietnam’s young generation is

one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world. But urban incomes are higher, and the younger generation has benefltted most from rising living standards; the 1.1 million motorbikes that belong to Hanoi’s 2.7 million people—people who traveled on bicycles 10 years ago—and the televisions in so many shopfronts are the most visible evidence of that.

If his televised speech to the Chinese people from the campus of Beijing University two years ago is any model, Clinton will likely praise Vietnam’s leaders for opening their economy, while gently suggesting how they could also See VIETNAM on page 8 �

Coca-Cola settles racial bias lawsuit By GREG WINTER

N.Y. Times News Service

In the largest settlement ever in a racial discrimination case, the Coca-Cola Co. agreed Thursday to pay more than $156 million to resolve a federal lawsuit brought by its black employees. The settlement also mandates sweeping changes, which will cost the company an estimated $36 million, and requires Coke to relinquish broad monitoring powers to a panel of outsiders—an unusual concession in employment discrimination cases. The lawsuit, filed in April 1999, accused Coke of erecting a corporate hierarchy in which black employees were clustered at the bottom of the pay scale, where they typically earned $26,000 a year less than

white workers in comparable jobs. As redress, the settlement provides each ofthe 2,000 current and former employees in the class with an average of $40,000 in cash, while the four plaintiffs will receive up to $300,000 apiece. The outside panel, appointed equally by Coke and the plaintiffs’ lawyers, has limited authority to dictate company policy, a capitulation even optimistic observers did not expect the settlement to yield. The panel is charged with ensuring that Coke’s record of paying and promoting all minority workers and women improves. “We need to have outside people helping us,” said Douglas Daft, Coke’s chair and chief executive officer. “We would be foolish to cut ourselves off from the outside world.”

A Renaissance In Benches Athletes register early for classes By BECKY YOUNG The Chronicle

Let the bench wars begin! This may be an age-old phrase heard on East Campus, but this year’s rivalries seem to have taken on a different and much more artistic shape. Walk around East Campus and you will stroll past benches sporting replicas of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel murals or a child’s story book. Typically, to express dorm pride, freshman deface each others benches by tipping them over, carrying off or spray-

painting over the initial

design. But this year, the competition has evolved from these more destructive measures into a one-upping artistic competition. J&.

So far, the freshman dorms that have climbed onto

the artistic band-wagon include Alspaugh, Giles, Pegram and Bassett. Alspaugh’s flame-covered “Hot and Steamy in the Spa” design was the first to show an extensive effort on the part ofall its residents. “We tried to do a design contest, but it didn’t really work because the original designs were too detailed,” said freshman Catie Liken, a member of Alspaugh’s house council. “We wanted to involve everyone so we sim-

plified the design.” A common theme heard among the dorms is simply that they wanted to get together and take the time to create a good bench. Their efforts show they care about their dorms and have pride in where they live. “We’re getting to be a pretty close dorm, and we just wanted to show our dorm pride,” said freshman

Next came Pegram’s version of the “Creation of Adam” section of the Sistine Chapel with its theme, “And then there was Pegram.” “We felt a little shame, so we had a big debate about what to do,” said freshman Andrew Steinman, Pegram president. “Now it’s nice to have something we can all be proud of.” Pegram residents explained that it was not without some conflict that they arrived at their final theme. “Originally house council had a big controversy with the first theme we thought of” freshman Whitney Evans said, referring to a phrase that was suggested in the planning process: “Pull my finger.” After house council mem-

For varsity athletes, the window of opportunity just opened a little wider. Starting this semester, varsity athletes could register first in their classes’ registration windows, regardless of the last two digits of their social security number. The policy will only extend to athletes on the active roster —almost 10 percent of undergraduates. Also, athletes will only get first dibs in course selection for the semesters in which their seasons are played. “[This policy] allows varsity athletes to choose classes that they can consistently go to,” said Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson, who spearheaded the policy effort. “Travel and practice schedules make

[scheduling] particularly difficult for athletes.” Thompson said that because Curriculum 2000 will put even more demands on student-athletes, this policy is necessary to alleviate the stress of fulfilling requirements while allowing athletes to attend classes regularly and fulfill team obligations. Tm actually one of the people who opposed it for years and years. For a long time, I felt that athletes should be as much like the rest of students in everything,” said Chris Kennedy, associate director of athletics. “What changed my mind about it is it used to be pretty easy to schedule what you needed before 2:30.... But scheduling has changed enough that it was getting very difficult to do without [early registration].” Kennedy cited two precipitating factors as to why scheduling has become so complex. In the past few years, early Corning classes—which used to be standard—have beeji shifted to the late afternoon because of student preference; additionally, practice for most varsity sports has become a year-long commitment. Some pre-major advisers were surprised to hear about the change, saying that they were not notified of the new policy and only became aware of it after students came to talk to them. Thompson said he initially did not mention the program because he was unsure if it could be implemented this semester. Once it came to his attention, he said, he immediately rectified the situation by sending an e-mail to all pre-major advisers. Nevertheless, an official explanation of the policy was not enough to convince some faculty members, who have raised the question of equity. “If the purpose of this policy is to make sure that athletes get into the classes they need, then other stuSee ATHLETES on page 9

Keohane’s support ofbond issue draws mixed reviews By LUCY STRINGER The Chronicle

Demonstrating that rivalries do not extend much past the athletic arena, President Nan Keohane spent the past few months engaged in a successful campaign to help ensure approval of the largest bond issue in the history of North Carolina; the bonds will support the state’s university system. “President Keohane’s support says a lot for the cooperative spirit that exists between private and public institutions in this state,” said Leslie Bevacqua, campaign director for North Carolina Friends ofEducational Opportunity. In a sweeping victory last Tuesday, the bond referendum—which includes $2.5 billion for the UNC system and $6OO million for the community college system—received approval from 73.6 percent of North Carolina voters. The success, though not unprecedented, came with more than a little help from Keohane, who sent letters to several thousand Duke alumni currently residing in the state; several newspapers also published Keohane’s opinion piece in support of the referendum. T like to hope my efforts helped,” Keohane said. “It’s very important for Duke to work to improve the strength and health of the economy of the state.” Keohane’s letter and editorial urged North Carolinians to vote for the bond issue, taking advantage of an “unprecedented opportunity to help ensure that

our children will enjoy the benefits of a strong economy and a quality of life that puts the state among the nation’s top places to live and work.” Such adamant support of a potentially contentious issue is not necessarily common practice for presidents of private universities. ‘There are varying opinions about how much it’s acceptable for a chancellor or president to be seen as involved in politics,” Keohane said. “It’s often difficult for people to separate who I am as president from who I am. It is often interpreted that if I care about X the University cares about X. It’s difficult to separate Nan Keohane from Duke.” In the past, Duke presidents such as Terry Sanford and Keith Brodie were involved politically with education issues. Not everyone approves of Keohane using her political voice. Some recipients ofher letter feel that Keohane’s involvement in the referendum goes beyond what is acceptable for the president of a private university. “In the letter I sent to President Keohane I told her I thought her involvement was inappropriate because the public policy involved does not directly affect Duke University,” said Raleigh resident George Leef, director of the Pope Center for Higher Education Policy and a 1977 graduate of the School of Law. “Spending funds for the public sector has no direct bearing on Duke whatsoever. If anything, it would be appropriate for the president to forbear.” See KEOHANE on page 17

Academic Council considers integration of NSOE depts. By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

The four-year-old merger between the Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences and the Nicholas School ofthe Environment flared up at Thursday’s Academic Council meeting, as faculty and administrators discussed a plan to better integrate the two groups. The plan, approved Oct. 6 by NSOE faculty, includes several proposals, notably renaming the school the Nicholas

School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, structuring its studies into three divisions instead of two, and changing how faculty tenure and appointments are handled. The Academic Council will vote on the proposal at its Nov. 30 meeting. “These are not simply archaic changes. Rather, they arise from a desire to increase collaboration within the school,” NSOE Dean Norman Christensen said. Defending the still-controversial merger, See ACADEMIC

Schools with grad student unions examine results By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

While most scholars don’t usually consider themselves laborers, a trend of unionization among graduate student employees has taken hold at many of the nation’s universities. After a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board that gave students at private schools the right to unionize, a number of graduate students—although not many at Dukehave begun to examine the benefits of forming collective bargaining units. And New York University’s graduate students yesterday confirmed the positive results of their own vote to unionize. Meanwhile, many public institutions have had the right to form unions for over two decades. The most recent ruling has re-energized the collective bargaining debate at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, where last week, 96 percent of graduate students voted to unionize. The vote will allows students at UMass-Boston to form their own branch of the Graduate Employee Organization, an affiliate of the United Auto Workers. The UAW already represents students at two other universities in Massachusetts. “UMass-Boston wants to be more on the par with other campuses and this is away for the university to offer their graduate students a better package.” said UAW organizer Lisa Davis. “This was greatly needed. [Teaching assistants, research assistants and graduate assistants! at the universities already under GEO receive higher stipends, a decreased curriculum fee and access to health and dental care.” While benefits to students in Massachusetts have gone up, university officials across the nation said unionization has had mixed results. Joseph Childers, assistant dean of graduate school at the University of California at Riverside, said the unions have only caused problems at his school. “The union has formalized relationships between faculty and graduate students,” he said. “In

DEAL

many cases, graduate students are supervised by their faculty mentors, which has put the faculty into the management—which is an uncomfortable working relationship that lessens collegiality... I hope that we will be able to get around these issues and not damage the culture of the university by these kinds of work rules and demands,” he said. The University ofKansas instituted a union two years ago, and both grad students and administrators said unionization has caused a disruption in their relationships. But both groups agreed that unionization is one of the few ways grad students can receive proper wages and benefits. “A union is like a strange bird at a university. It brings a level of bureaucracy between [graduate teaching assistants] and administrators and makes

things more formal,” said Jeanette Johnston, KU assistant to the provost. “Before the institution of the union, students would not have been able to bargain for what they probably deserve. It has made them eligible for health care and kept the individual departments, who pay their own graduate students, from squirreling their money away for other purposes.” Students at KU agreed, noting their gains since organizing a collective bargaining unit. “It has hurt relationships with the administration but only because they take a very cost-benefit analysis and think that the union costs them more money,” said sociology graduate student Ophra Leyser, president of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition at KU. “But the contract is very beneficial.” The debate over graduate student employment is far from over. Members of Duke’s Graduate and Professional Student Council voted overwhelmingly last week to endorse the NLRB decision, but stopped short of endorsing a union at Duke. It is, hov/ever, an issue that may surface again. “This is definitely a trend things are taking especially with the NLRB vote,” Davis said, “In the future we will see many more union organizations at both public and private universities.”

Fuqua student keeps online journal for BusinessWeek thought it was Fuqua’s turn,” he said. “It’s a great school, a great culture, it’s up-and-coming and now it’s one of the top-five business schools.” Jessica Loudon, senior producer of BusinessWeek Online, said Rogers’ selection was an easy decision. “We had a ton of editors and reporters read through the applications. Basically we picked the best writers,” she said. ‘The majority of folks interested in it are prospective business students. But current students are also interested in seeing what kind of experiences other people are having at different schools. We’re planning to expand it—since our first class graduated last year, we’re going to have them send in sixmonth updates.” Thus far members of the Fuqua community have been supportive of Rogers’ columns. Jim Smith, the school of business’ associate dean of MBA programs, said the online magazine is a valuable resource for potential applicants. “It’s pretty cool,” said Smith. “And I think it does help in some respects. There’s a lot of statistical information out there that a lot of people find cold and dry, but [the MBA journals arel more like anecdotes.” First-year business student Ricardo Fischmann said he found the BusinessWeek website to be helpful in gathering information. “It was a very good starting point,” he said. “Then I went to talk to people about what two years of MBA was like. And it turned out to be pretty accurate.” And Loudon said columnists rarely express any problems giving an honest look at their business schools’ curricula, pro-

Prospective MBA students everywhere can now access first-hand accounts of the business school life of a Fuqua student with just the click of a mouse. For three years, students considering business school have had the option of logging on to BusinessWeek Online and reading the personal journals of current business students. From admission to graduation, these personal narratives chronicle the experiences of a diverse group of students from around the world. This year, the editors of the online magazine selected Fuqua School of Business student Jeremy Rogers as one of eight first-year MBA students to write a monthly column entitled “MBA Journals.” “I write about classes, the recruiting process, and the people here,” Rogers said. Ts the school as good as they say it is? They want insight... things you can’t find in regular business school guides.” With their essays, the columnists not only pour their hearts out, but hand over their vital academic statistics as well. Most oftheir introductory pages also display information such as GMAT scores and undergraduate grade point averages. This way, readers can get the dirt on the schools as well as on the type of candi-

dates who make the cut. Rogers said he was a frequent visitor of the business school section of the ezine before he applied for the columnist spot. “They advertised that they wanted people to write a journal, to tell their story... about business school once they got in. Because they hadn’t had someone from Duke, this year I definitely

Others worried that the columns may not give a complete portrayal of business school life. “I feel fortunate that he is representative of our student body,” Smith said. “The danger is that he’s just one person of 341, but I think he’s done a nice job.” So far Rogers has been more than satisfied with his business school experience, and has difficulty choosing what to cover.

Engineering school readies for new facility By MELISSA SOUCY The Chronicle The approval process for the $77 million Center for Interdisciplinary Engi-

neering and Applied Sciences, which could triple the size of the Pratt School of Engineering to approximately 240,000 square feet, is currently underway. “The center is intended to be a complement of research space and some complement of individual and teaching facilities for the school,” said Bartley Guthrie, a pre-programming architect from the Zimmer, Gunsul and Frasca architectural firm. The project will not be officially approved until the next Board ofTrustees meeting in early December, but officials at the Pratt School are optimistic about its successful completion. “We have the University behind us and we have the administration behind us,” said Judge Carr, director of development for Pratt. The two-wing building will facilitate the development ofthe school’s new bioengineering, nanoscience and photonics initiatives.

He added that the environmental effects of the project must also be taken into account. ‘The goal is to preserve and protect the vast majority of the hillside below the Chapel,” Guthrie said.The school also faces challenges in finding funding for construction. The school’s development office expects to raise about $2O million from donations. They also hope to institute a mini-campaign to find additional donors. Carr said the school has already begun negotiations with potential donors to give a large initial gift. “The gift is important to show people that others are interested in seeing the building go forth,” said Carr. The engineering school has also applied for a Whitaker Foundation grant, which could bring in $l2 million. The project is expected to get underway after the architects are chosen in December and following another eight to 10 months of finalizing the design. Officials hope to break ground in August 2001 and the building will be ready for occupancy by the last quarter of 2003.

But everyone has a tough time fulfilling requirements.” Others echoed this sentiment, adding that many students have inflexible schedules due to work-study or extracurricular commitments. “If athletes have special needs, so do work-study students... and we all know that Duke is not that hospitable to working-class and middleclass students,” Bookman said. “We could go on and on with a list of people who ought to have this privilege.” Thompson argued that it is more difficult to plan practice around an entire team’s calendar than around one person’s activities. He also added that there is no personal flexibility on when a game or tournament is scheduled. Senior Ricardo Pitts-Wiley agreed. “If you have a basketball game coming up, you have a basketball game,” said Wiley, Duke Student Government equity liaison. “A DSG referendum can be put off a day if you have to,” Some varsity athletes felt that they could have managed without the early registration, but are still happy. “I don’t know how much it matters.

Others are rejoicing at the fact they will have an edge in selecting classes. “I think it’s great,” said freshman soccer player Michael Kovach. “Obviously, that may be a biased statement because I get to reap the benefits of this little policy.”

Willimon suggests curbing underage drinking WILLIMON REPORT from page 1 policies encourage extended adolescent irresponsibility by some of our students.” He criticized the availability of

alcohol, particularly for freshmen, who need only to take a bus to West Campus to find beer and liquor. Senior Jasmin French, a member of the committee reviewing the alcohol policy, said she was pleased with the report and agreed that there needs to be more enforcement of underage drinking laws. Statistically speaking, she said, it is the only way to curb drinking. “It would be helpful for the [resident advisersl. In practice, there needs to be other authority figures who come down [on alcohol],” said French, Duke Student Government vice president for student affairs. Others, such as interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack, have argued that the University faces a tradeoff between being ambiguous about the appropriateness ofalcohol and encouraging safe and responsible drinking. “You don’t have to go to the extreme and say, ‘Stop all alcohol,’” Clack said. Willimon’s report acknowledges that the University must encourage safe behavior, but argues that students have proven they are not capable of consuming alcohol as adults. Willimon also advocated parental notification of serious alcohol violations. In addition, the report articulates the need for consistent, enforced policies. Keohane responded to the report in a letter yesterday. “I am particularly taken by your corollary observation about our failure to have established clearly articulated, evenly enforced

standards for student behavior,” she wrote. “This surely needs to be a priority of our new vice president for student affairs, with full support of the senior officers.” Developing Character But according to the report, the degeneration of student conduct and respect on campus is more directly related to the University’s neglect of providing an education in ethics. “I am skeptical that our new curriculum’s stress upon values, methods of discernment and ethical reasoning skills will be an adequate substitute for a campus-wide debate over which ethics are worth having in the first place,” Willimon wrote. He added that although some faculty shy away from even discussing ethics, the University cannot avoid the fact that by its very nature, an institution of higher education develops the character of its students.

Faculty Involvement Development of ethical character cannot take place without faculty involvement, Willimon wrote. He notes tljat the divide between academic administrators and student affairs has not narrowed since his 1993 report, in which he suggested faculty be more visible on campus after sunset. “This is not the Duke envisioned by our founders, but rather a place where adolescents are abandoned to their own devices during some of the most impor-

Berkshiees

tant hours ofthe day, and everyone else commutes,” Willimon wrote. Keohane largely agreed with Willimon’s analysis, responding that the University has “reached the point where our campus social life is working at cross purposes with many of our academic goals.” In order to solve this problem, Willimon says, the University must reward faculty who teach well, not just those who do high-quality research. The administration expects too little of participants of the Faculty-in-Residence program and does not offer incentives for professors to stay on campus after sunset. “It is apparent that the goals we set for increasing faculty-student interaction have not been as successful as we’d like,” Keohane wrote. “We clearly need to give careful consideration to how to address this concern.” French said she agrees that faculty presence has a significant impact on student life. “Some students ask for it, and when they get it they don’t really use it,” French said. “This is something students should be asking for whether it takes them two to three years to realize the benefits of it or not.”

Residential Life Willimon also criticized residential patterns, writing that they are directly related to the “widely lamented lack of civility and poor social climate.” “We tend to stress diversity in admissions and in our curriculum but not in

our student living arrangements,” Willimon wrote. “A large proportion of our student body eats, sleeps and lives with a minimum of contact with the rest of the school.” He added that the construction of the West-Edens Link is a step in the right direction. French agreed that residential arrangements play a key role in racial segregation and should be addressed on a very basic level. Willimon said the segregation occurs largely between freshmen and sophomore years, when students separate themselves in order to avoid living in Trent Dormitory. He added that many upperclass students yearn for the all-freshman East Campus living experience. To address these issues, Willimon argued, the University should consider creating a living area dedicated to sophomores and listed Main West Campus as a potential site. Clack liked the idea. Far from being critical offraternities as he was in 1993, Willimon was quick to point out that problems with the residential experience do not take root in the greek or selective-house systems. He said that too often, fraternities are blamed for social problems and that they should be rewarded when they add to the community. Nevertheless, Willimon said fraternities do not necessarily deserve the best

Willimon highlights alcohol, character, residential life Dean of the Chapel William Willimon yesterday released his report on the state of social life at Duke. In it, he urges the University to take more interest in out-ofclassroom student life. Excerpts of the report are below.

On alcohol: Duke must be clear that alcohol abuse and violation of state alcohol laws have no value in an academic community. While our policy ought to continue to be that of either abstinence or informed, responsible, safe, legal consumption, we must have the concern for our students and the commitment to the academic mission of the University to assert zero tolerance for alcohol policy violations. Duke must not be a haven for disobeying the law nor must our policies encourage extended adolescent irresponsibility by some of our students. A root cause of alcohol abuse and weekend rowdiness is not difficult to discover. We faculty have created a world for our students where they have too little to do, too much discretionary time and too little accountability for haphazard academic performance. On building character: At our worst, we have allowed the modem research university’s definition of itself to corrupt our more noble originating purposes of the liberal education of the young.... At our worst, we

University leaders tout Ewell’s work � EWELL from page 1 Calif. During his time as city manager, Ewell hired many of the city’s senior leadership including Police

Chief Teresa Chambers. He has also led several partnerships with the Uni-

versity, including a compromise in investigating

Duke’s water billing, the partial merger of Duke and Durham bus routes and the successful launch of Blue Devil Ventures’ West Village. Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Governmental Relations John Bumess said filling Ewell’s shoes will be hard to do. “If you watch Lament in action, he doesn’t play to the crowd. He’s not pointing fingers. He’s trying to find the best solution possible,” Burness said. “I think these are the same qualities we would like to see in the next city manager.” Others in the administration agreed. “He’s very good at what he does,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. “I think there’s a great deal of mutual respect.” Trask said he does not expect Ewell’s departure will have any significant effect on Duke’s discussion with Durham over the possibility that the University may have been underbilled for its use of millions of gallons of water. Rumors of Ewell’s potential departure have persisted in Durham since he met with San Diego officials in mid October. In August of 1997, officials from Oakland offered Ewell a senior city government spot. To counter such offers, Durham officials raised the city manager’s pay by $9,800, bringing the position’s salary to $150,623.

merely affirm [students’] tendency to be somewhat savvy consumers, or simply give them their ticket to power in a lucrative profession. Surely this is a perversion of the

term higher education.... We may attempt to avoid having a debate over what sort of persons our students are becoming, but debate or not, our campus life is contributing to and confirming ofcertain sorts of behavior, certain traits of character. Will the transformation worked here be worthy of the resources we have committed to this

enterprise?... The impression is widely prevalent that teaching and student interaction are poorly rewarded among Duke faculty. We badly need a program of systematic peer evaluation ofteaching at Duke, something beyond the current student evaluation forms.

On residential

life: It is too tempting to blame fra-

ternities for anything that we do not like about social life at Duke. Little is to be gained by eliminating a major component of campus social life. Much is to be gained by augmenting and diversifying social life

options. We are still giving a virtual subsidy to some selective living groups on campus, giving them the most desirable space. Are they groups that are worthy of such university

support?

Duke University was founded and designed on the principle that student residential life is considered to be the primary component of higher education. We have invested a fortune in this undertaking. But we endanger this vision and this heritage in our creation of a campus where there is minimal adult presence and where increasing numbers of our students are allowed to live off campus.

Established 1905, Incorporated 1993

Coming to America With the growing Latino population in North Carolina, steps must be taken to ease the transition of these new residents as they move into communities across the state across North Carolina, from large cities such as Raleigh to small rural towns like Robbins, have experienced a wave of Latino immigration in the past decade. These newest North Carolinians are making significant contributions to the state’s economy as many enter jobs in factory and farming industries, creating a force of unskilled and semiskilled laborers needed as the basis of the state’s economic expansion. But the quick and successful integration of Latino immigrants does not come without some increased costs in social services. Without a strong base of communication skills, Latino children will undoubtedly be left behind in other studies. Local school systems must recognize the increasing need for English as a Second Language classes and work to empower students with proficiency in English. In addition, communities must work to make services accessible to Latino residents by such measures as bilingual signs for services and the enforcement of equal opportunity in housing and employment. Providing an infrastructure of information and support will help erase distrust Latinos might have toward local governments. Discussion of the issues concerning Latino immigration was disturbingly absent from the state campaigns across North Carolina over the past few months. Politicians must acknowledge these issues, and more importantly, begin to listen to their new constituents. Every immigrant group needs someone to advocate its cause and serve as ambassador from the immigrant to the native community. We hope someone in the established political infrastructure will step forward to be this advocate. Efforts in government are impotent without support from the residents they govern. Both Latinos and native North Carolinians must make efforts to learn about each other and extend themselves as individuals to their new neighbors. Bridging the gaps in culture and communication between natives and newcomers will not be easy but must be done in order to avoid the creation of segregated towns and communities. Furthermore, these efforts to integrate Latinos into society and politics must be statewide. Other areas such as New York City and Miami have seen their own waves of immigration and have responded. North Carolina’s rural character makes its situation unique, and though North Carolinians would do well to learn from history, the state must craft its own responses to its new residents. The Triangle—and North Carolina as a whole—is growing. A basic support system of education and services, along with consideration from state officials and policymakers, will assist the increasing numbers of Latino immigrants in realizing the American dream that brought them to North Carolina.

Fair-weather fans missing out on football team’s rise I find it rather interesting that Duke students and alumni can have so much pride and joy in our school coming from the basketball program, yet they still put down the football team either by mouth or by not attending the games. When the football team is struggling, it is time to joke and laugh about the team and hide the fact that you are a Duke fan until basketball season begins. Oddly enough during football season, most students have “something” else to do when Saturday afternoons come around. I am sure that Cameron Indoor Stadium will never be empty on a Saturday afternoon or evening once basketball season has started. But I guess that is the way things work around here—at least the fans seem to work that way.

Do not get me wrong, I am a huge Duke basketball fan. I

just happen to differ from most students here because I am a huge Duke football fan as well. I have been to every home game this season, and I have even traveled to Wake Forest and North Carolina State to see the two closest games this year. This football team is not nearly as bad as suggested by its critics (which happen to be Duke “fans” usually). It has improved significantly from the beginning of the season, which is a good sign when you are rebuilding a program. Next year they will win some games and have a better record, and I truly believe that in two years this team will be capable of playing in a bowl game. Most of you probably

think I am crazy: But I have been to the games, and you have not. Carl Franks is rebuilding this program properly, and Duke football will be successful in the near future.

And when our team shows how much it has improved beats hopefully and Carolina —keeping the Tar Heels from becoming eligible for a bowl game—let’s act like real football fans and start the celebration by tearing down the goalposts. The Duke football fans will need the practice for the near future, because just like the football team is working on becoming a better football team, hopefully the fans are working on becoming better fans as well.

DCU ad points out hypocrisy of ‘inclusiveness’ The Duke Conservative Union’s advertisement in the issue of The Nov. 14 Chronicle regarding samesex unions in the Chapel raises legitimate concerns. How the Chapel ultimately is used is of no personal concern to me—let gays and straights chain themselves in whatever unions they wish, let it be hallowed space to all. However, as the DCU advertisement points out, President Nan Keohane’s methodology is frightening as a representation of the

On the

utter lack of principle pervading the administrations of universities—an absence that nonetheless parades itself in a cynical rhetoric of “inclusiveness” and “openmindedness.” With no disrespect to the persons represented therein, President Nan Keohane’s committee discussing the issue is a sham. Setting aside the general political issue of how hand-picked committees are characteristic of despotic autocracies, this particular committee is clearly egregious even in

the sordid context of its shameful brethren. Political correctness, it would appear, is not unwilling to exploit those same infrastructures of political power that it once so vigorously decried. The inevitable oppression (their theories, not mine) is justified, I suppose, by the lowly place traditional believers and political conservatives (of which I am neither) hold in the hierarchy of victimhood.

No sooner has the drool begun to pool in the left corner of your mouth than you are awakened by something soft brushing against your slumbering lips. You open your groggy little lids, and what to your wondering eyes should appear? A two-foot long dildo resting in your mouth. Sound too good to be true? Not if you're at the Upright Citizens' Brigade show in Page Auditorium last Friday, and you're the guy sleeping in the back row. Apparently the abundant references to ass-pennies, sperm-filled ice cube trays and a woman taking a dump on her friend's bathroom floor weren't enough to keep one sleep-deprived spectator awake enough to escape the wrath of Little Donny's monster dingus. As the victim dozed innocently in the back row of the theater, he was rudely awakened by one of the troupe's members. And yes, we do mean that kind of member. Recess caught up with Matt Besser, the UCB member who portrays Little Donny, a special boy afflicted with magnimus-obliviophallocytis, a rare disorder that causes abnormal penis growth. When asked give his take on the incidt he responded, "If you fall asleep during a UCB show you're going to get a dick in your mouth. The guy was pretty stoned out so I imagine he was dreaming about the scenes that we were doing. And maybe while he was asleep we jacked his brain into a virti reality matrix while his bo remains comatose in the I of our van while a dick coi ues to be in his mouth. N really knows."

Recess Editor Jonas Blank sat down with Richard before his speech to talk about nudity, politics and, of course, being a "fat naked fag." You've actually been in our magazine a couple of times this year. Probably naked. That was, in fact, the first thing I was curious about. How does it feel to be naked on the cover of a book that's going to be out there for millions of people? Completely comfortable. It's just such a non-issue for me, think that's why its become an issue for people. It wasn't part of my strategy. It was just me, on the island. So public, private—it doesn't make a difference? It's not even a question, really. It's not a sexual thing, it's more of a relaxed kind of thing. You've obviously lost a lot of weight. But being on a desert island can make anybody slim down. For the average TV-watching slob, how does the Richard Hatch diet compare to say, Richard Simmons? I have no idea what he does. I don't diet. I just run my ass off, literally. How many miles a day? Six to ten.... I just feel like crap if I don't do it. You called your Survivor win from the beginning. That took a lot of balls. Has extreme confidence ever let you down? Nope. I don't think that really played any role in what I was doing. I recognized that I had a shot at it—I thought I could easily handle the survival stuff and I was well-qualified to handle the social aspect of it—what the show is really about. They were looking for personalities, and I just thought through how 1 wanted to approach it....

"Fat naked fag" was a strong way to characterize your homosexuality. Fat naked fag came from a camping trip that my two friends Tom and Valerie and on in Canada, a two week trip in the September before I went to the went I island. And I was naked a whole lot and they weren't. We came to some cliff or something and they had climbed down first and I came down after them. And Tom looked up, and got a view he didn't necessarily want to see. And he pointed and he laughed like hell and he said, "Hey, get a load of this fat naked fag!" And we said, hey, why don’t we have a calendar—Fat Naked Fag Barbecue! Fat Naked Fag —

Goes Fishing! We laughed the whole rest of the trip, thinking of the scenarios we'd create with this calendar. So I told that episode to Sean on the show, and then in the live episode on the day of the last show, he brought it up. Did being gay have any effect on the way people treated you? I think it prepared me for what I needed to do on the island. Growing in a society where people talk about "fags" and "queers" and use those terms mean-spiritedly, you have to decide whether you give a shit what somebody else thinks.... I just don't care what peopie think. Umm.... where was I going with that? I I’ve gone from Matt Lauer to Regis to Jonas today. Now that you're a millionaire, whose tax plan do you prefer?

The

mythic figure of the film superhero—once an icon of strength and virtue—is perhaps too worn by slews of codpieces, bad puns and campy over-the-top villains on neon rollerblades to be of any potence. Is it possible for a man in tights to conjure up any shred of awe after shameful disgraces like Batman and Robin or tired satire like Mystery Men and even "The Ambiguously Gay Duo?" Director M.

Every kid thinks his father is Superman, so when the kid makes a violently desperate attempt to force his near-deadbeat dad to face up to his responsibility, the scene is both shocking and touching. As a follow-up to the stunning, intricate Sixth Sense, Unbreakable draws strong comparison with its quiet, brooding, slow pace. If nothing else, this film confirms his ability to wield the camera and draw riveting drama out of every calculated shot and skewed angle. More than just a cheap Hitchcock hack like Brian De Palma, Shyamalan has a gift with the lens that lets his scenes breathe vividly—he is certainly one of the most exciting young directors today. Still, it's unfortunate that this script doesn't have the internal dynamics of his last success. When Dunne finally dons a cape and accepts his role, there are rightfully no explosions or pop-up alliteration screens. However, the final third is so abrupt and inert in its anticlimax that the entire film is left ultimately unfulfilling. The ending, specifically, is a shocker close to Sixth Sense proportions, but instead of wrapping up loose threads and adding a fresh dimension, this one is egregiously out of tone and pace with the rest of the film. Unfortunately, the most interesting recombination of the comic book aesthetic (Matrix notwithstanding) in years ends up hampered by that dastardly archvillain narrative structure. □

Dunne is confronted by comic book art dealer Elijah Price (Samuel Jackson, out of badass mode but still wonderfully creepy) whose congenital bone disease traps him in a world of immense pain and intense fantasy in which Dunne assumes a key part. Willis plays his role with a painfully morose, numbed glaze —but what at first appears to be either boredom or simplicity is soon revealed to be far more complex.

makes perhaps his most incendiary challenge towards racial discourse with Bamboozled —and is once again panned and dismissed for it—Hollywood chokes up sugar-coated, bleary-eyed fare like Remember The Titans and now Men of Honor. The movie provides another motivational pill about triumph over institutionalized adversity, and it's more needlessly long and mercilessly humorless. The life story of Master Diver Carl Brashear—the first black man to attain this highest rank in the Navy, and with a prosthetic leg, to boot—is inspiring, sure. But why do honor and triumph over adversity have to be so damn boring? Cuba Gooding, Jr. assumes the standard Denzel Washington role of Brashear, but where Washington's stone-jawed intensity is a magnetic force onscreen, Gooding sticks with a wide-eyed, boyish eagerness that never quite grows into the dignity and self-assurance needed for the role. Carl, driven simply by his need to "be the best," raises himself out of his father's sharecropping, up

Scott Marshall Smith's bland script turns what could have been an interesting character study of a man who defied an adverse military institution into a much less complex conflict between Brashear and an invented oppositional figure: Robert DeNiro as redneck veteran diver Billy Sunday, caricatured right down to the obligatory drill-sergeant-barks-at-trainees scene with the "I AM God" line. It's obvious that DeNiro's part has been written in—captivating though he is, his character's presence is clichbd

It's too bad, because by the time Brashear's most challenging hurdle comes along, Men of Honor's dubious point has been made several times over, and it's very ready to be tossed out like a Hallmark card.Q

With the re-release of Wonder Boys Paramount hopes to resurrect a worthy film. By Dan Mallory

Moulin Rouge has been bumped to next year, while Merchant-Ivory's latest offering The Golden Bowl has failed to secure a distributor—Paramount has re-launched its campus dramedy Wonder Boys, an adaptation of Michael Chabon's 1995 feel-somewhat-good novel. Directed by Curtis Hanson (LA. Confidential) and starring a well-nourished Michael Douglas, the film was initially released in the commercial dead zone of February, when its precious ad campaign and obscure premise—portly Pittsburgh English professor engages in wintry weekend of sex, drugs and dog slaying—portended a mediocre box office take of $24.5 million.

aged the studio to revive what Roger Ebert boldly brands "the best college movie ever made." Co-starring Tobey Maguire, Frances McDormand, and a fine Robert Downey, Jr., Wonder Boys is really a slight hiccup of a film, aimless and rather weightless, but it boasts a shaggy charm and a well-observed screenplay—and Douglas delivers a remarkably unfashionable performance, far removed from the corporate reptiles he's played on autopilot since 1987's Wall Street Given Wonder Boys' warm reception

from reviewers, Paramount's maneuver isn't unusual. Quality films launched too early in the year for Oscar consideration meaning, to the memory-deficient minds of Academy voters, every release date prior to November —are occasionally redistributed in the weeks before or after New Year's, the better to cash in on the feeding frenzy of accolades that precedes and informs the Oscar nominations. Recent examples include Hanson's own LA Confidential, which doubled its September commercial take after strong showings on the awards circuit, along with Best Picture winners Braveheart (May 1995) and last year's American Beauty, which DreamWorks unfolded in September. (The studio currently plans to replicate its distribution strategy with its rock saga Almost Famous, a lovely film that bowed two months ago to disappointing revenues.) Wonder Boys, though, won't reap such delayed dividends; like Fargo, re-released by PolyGram in spring 1997, the film is too quirky and self-conscious to appeal to the general public, which would rather watch Jim Carrey plot against Whoville in The Grinch. Besides, the last February release to win the top prize was The Silence of the Lambs, which opened on Valentine's Day 1991 and proceeded to generate $l3l million in grosses—all without the benefit of a re-release.

Tom Wolfe’s Hooking Up takes our generation to task with flair.

Irving, Updike and Mailer blasted Wolfe for producing something they deemed less than literature, with wider appeal than their own recent

works.

Irving, who pandered beyond compare with his sappy and simple The Cider House Rules, managed to use the f-word a few dozen times to lambast Wolfe on a Canadian television program. Wolfe's rebuttals are more sophisticated, but the essay is .less about jealousy than how the stooges have allowed their work to be influenced by outmoded European intellectuals. Unlike his stooges, who blame the public for not reading anymore, Wolfe indicts American writers for letting themselves be usurped by stale, imported ideologies. Instead of giving up the fight, Wolfe calls for a new deal for the American novel, where writers are as experimental

Love. Fear. Guilt. Suffering. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius explores themes that run through all of our lives. But Dave Egger's memoir is refreshing in that it doesn't bother with stale, corny morals (e.g. everything heals with time). What's more, Eggers refuses to take himself too seriously. He never misses an opportunity to make fun of himself. One of his most humorous, self-conscious moments: "Right away, I think symbolism. I look older. It's also symbolic that, as we sit on the couch, in the dark, the light through her large windows, the weak yellow light from the streetlamp, brings her father into her face It occurs to me that her smoking, as she did when we were last at the bar, is also symbolic." Eggers clearly doesn't give a damn about what being a good writer entails—he merely wants to communicate his experiences. Any "symbolism" or "imagery" that arises along the way is natural and easy rather than contrived. Egger's wit crops up continually. In "Rules and Suggestions for Enjoyment of This Book" for example, Eggers explains that, "There is no overwhelming need to read the preface. Really.... If you have already read the preface and wish you had not, we apologize. We should have told you sooner." On the book jacket, there is a picture of him and an adorable dog. But below it, a caption notes that it actually isn't his dog. These sorts of witty asides make reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius emotionally bearable The story revolves around two brothers and their sister whose parents are inflicted with cancer and who die within a week of one another, a friend who is on the verge of suicide and another who is severely paralyzed. It's hard to summarize all the novel succinctly; its tragedy is too subtle for that. Consider Eggers' contemplation of his mother's ashes, for instance "With the back of my hand I brush the fallen grains into the crevice—and am suddenly reminded of the way my mom cleared a fogged windshield, quickly, violently almost, with the back of her hand, her rings clicking against the glass, as we drove through some or other sudden storm.... And for a second I wonder if her rings will be in the bag. Oh shit. Her rings will be there, half-melted like a prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.” Egger's style is beautiful yet tormenting. It sucks you in like a vacuum, until you are hollow and emptied of emotion. Whether he's talking about death, his audition for The Real World, or his protective, bordering possessive, relationship with his brother Toph, Eggers writes with total, disarming honesty. He doesn't offer us any answers. Instead, he cracks open his most fragile memories for us, and in doing so, creates a memoir that is at once heart-wrenching and ingenious. —By Shalini Bongu ....

Updike and Norman Mailer. The title essay, "Hooking Up: What Life was Like at the Turn of the Second Millennium; An American's World," begins the book. And, yes, "hooking up" does refer to the term we students use to describe our social lives. The essay takes jabs at the America's uncouth young millionaires, sex and pornography, all of which are easy targets. It's hard to disagree when Wolfe points out that the sexual revolution's downfall has become nothing more than a "lurid carnival." He nails it when he notes that "'Sexy' was beginning to replace 'chic' as the adjective indicating what was smart and up-to-the-minute." Nonetheless, Wolfe occasionally comes across as a scold. For example, he claims that today's generation moves around the sexual bases (from first to home) with greater speed than Rookie of the Year Rafael Furcal. Someone ought to remind Wolfe that sex and baseball have each been national pastimes for quite a while. We didn't invent sex any more than Al Gore invented the Internet. And while young adults may be hooking up more often than their parents, his assertion that "home plate" is learning your partner's first name is absurd. The sexual revolution may have trivialized sex, but without a first name, one cannot call that hook-up back the next day for another meaningless roll in the hay. Further, the method Wolfe used to learn that girls keep diaries of sexual encounters, coded by the first letter of the done deeds and assign numbers to rate them, is a mystery. Where are these people? Still he has a point when he writes, "The continuing vogue of feminism had made sexual life easier, even insouciant for men.... Men were only too happy to accede to the new order, since it absolved them of all sense of responsibility." As America enters the 21st century, "we've come a long way baby," has turned into, "come here, baby." In the book's sharpest essay, "MyThree

Turkey Day Thanksgiving doesn't have to involve boring food or cooking headaches. Here are some ways to make the holiday—at least the eating part—exciting. I" 16 pilgrims. The Mayflower. That story about peace with the Native Americans and pilgrims' pride. "Family" gatherM ings replete with drunken uncles and unresolved angst. S Tepid conversations. Hidden anxieties. Agonizing stretches of time you'd just as soon forget. m It's Thanksgiving season again, and between the patriotic indoctrination and the bouts with your near genetic counterparts, the holiday can often be painful enough to make you wish the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria had simply sunk. Thanksgiving can be a time of friendship, peace and reverence. It can also be just plain insufferable. Some of the time —maybe most of it—all you've got to look forward to is the food. Few can sustain ill-will over a succulent feast, mounded high enough to obscure the clean white plate beneath.

After all the dressing and Blank, Heidi Pauken and Sarah Bell pie By and mountains of meat, Additional Reporting by Katherine Stroup all you can do is loosen your belt, sit by the fire (in colder climes anyway} and turn on the tube. Still, even the food can be a bit of a disappointment at times, victim to predictable trough-style presentation and over-buttered homespun mediocrity. There's only so much turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, yams, vegetable 2, vegetable 3, casserole 1, casserole 2, rolls and pie that one can take, after all. No wonder people pass out during the post-grub college football matchups. Fortunately, several of the area's finest restaurants offer Thanksgiving ideas that lend the familiar feel of tradition a dash of zest and innovation. After all, if a feast aspires to bring people together for one afternoon each year, it at least ought to offer something that can't be had on the other 364. Whether you're eating out, carrying out or even cribbing a little flair from the masters for your own recipes. Recess— with the help of

some acclaimed chefs—has the answers. If you can forsake your grasp on the tired meat-and-potatoes mold of yesteryear, you just might stumble onto some ideas that can keep this holiday fresh through its third century.

Turkey—A TmdJtkm Worth Keeping "The only thing 1 keep from the classic dinner is the turkey," says

Gennaro Villella, longtime executive chef of II Palio, the Siena Hotel's

award-winning restaurant. "Usually, turkey is just boring." Hoping to baste the boredom out of the basic bird, Villella spices it up with extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme and dashes of red pepper on the skin. His stuffing puts the traditional breadcrumb mishmash to shame: Villella opts for diced fennel, chicken liver and foccaccia. Villella's cooking method is also a bit unusual. Because of what he calls "different structural muscles" in the bird's breast and legs, Villella cooks the parts seperately then reassembles the bird for serving. If that sounds too much like the effort involved in John Madden's Turkey Bowl "turducken" to you, Villella offers a simpler tactic—cook the bird very, very slowly. Rather than try to mess with success, Magnolia Grill co-owner Karen Barker uses her culinary panache to bring traditional flavor to its peak. Using an adaptation of a basic roast chicken recipe. Barker coats the turkey skin and cavity with 140 cloves of garlic, along with a bit of duck fat to make the skin extra-crispy and brown. And while this award-winning chef's product is probably better than almost anyone's, Barker still sticks to a traditional cornbread stuffing. "We always try to think of new things we can do, but we always come back to the original," she says, describing how her gourmet-centric family became obsessed with finding new twists every year. "Some years we've gotten really far out, and it just doesn't feel right. I like the repetitive nature of it." While Barker will likely spend Thanksgiving Day with her family,

II Palio offers its customers a first-class feast, with a typical lunch seating serving 400 and dinner taking in another 200. the In past, II Paiio's spread has been so well-received that customers made a day of it, showing up for lunch and staying through the evening to gorge on the dinner as well.

Out--Thanksgiving Options That K«ep It Imorestmg

Of all the groups most slighted by the traditional Thanksgiving, vegetarians have it the worst. Because of the reliance on turkey and vegetables that often involve meat drippings, vegetarians may find themselves stiffed rather than stuffed after their Thanksgiving feasts. Fortunately, Wellspring Grocery comes through in the clutch, offering a complete vegan (basically, vegetarian without the dairy) spread that includes items like herb-crusted tofu and harvest stuffed squash. And while life without most of the basic food groups may sound dull to non-vegans, there is a bright side—they can at least enjoy Wellspring's variation on pumpkin pie. Vegetarians should hurry up if they want to get in on the action—Wellspring will be taking orders through this Sunday. Though vegetarians may be guaranteed an unusual non-turkey dinner, carnivores can enjoy some much-needed variation in the rest of their menu. Born in Italy, Villello feels less bound to American culinary tradition. Instead, he says, he prefers to bring classic autumn dishes from his home country to complement the turkey. "I try to bring together many aromas and a nice beautiful color," he says, using autumn fruits such as cranberries, raspberries and pumpkins to give the meal its color. Among his favorite autumn offerings are pumpkin gnocchi with shaved ricotta cheese, pumpkin ravioli with a creamy hazelnut sauce and fresh mushrooms, and his to-die-for seared duck breast over greens with a raspberry balsamic vinaigrette. It's a far cry from a trough of vegetables mucked with cream of mushroom soup. While George's Garage won't be offering any orange pastas on its all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving lunch buffet, the restaurant,is aiming for the advantage in sheer mass. Along with the turkey and trimmings, George's is serving up prime rib and leg of lamb along with its trademark pumpkin and garlic soup (see sidebar for the recipe). Dinner brings the opportunity to order from both the seafood-centric regular menu and a number of Thanksgiving specials. And although its food may not be particularly surprising, George's offers a unique way to end a day of gorging, capping things off with a Turkey Day DJ and an allnight dance party. If you eat at George's, you can at least dance some of your dinner away

"It's not Thanksgiving without the pie," says Barker. Though she usually makes two for her guests—sweet potato and pecan, many might argue that a Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie is like a Thanksgiving without turkey. Fortunately, a good one is simple to prepare, and every place we've mentioned will have plenty of it on hand. But ultimately, despite the occasional bickering and the bad blood and the feel-good ideology of it all, this truly is one of our nation's least commercialized and most familyoriented holidays. Whether your Aunt Mary burns the turkey to a crisp, or wily old Uncle Kevin comers you with his drunken war stories, it's worth the effort to make the day a happy, simple one. There aren't presents to unwrap or stockings to stuff—only stomachs to fill. "I think of Thanksgiving as a family reunion with good food and good wine," says Villella simply. And although the food helps, it's the family that is the most important part. □

Add pumpkin and roasted garlie, cook for 10 to 15 minutes stirring regularly. Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Add cream and cook five more minutes. Puree in blender or food processor, season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Smash rosemary with the back of a knife to bring out the oils, and add this with the last of the olive oil. Allow rosemary to steep until soup is cool and remove.

Again, plan ahead —the place takes orders until 3pm Monday. Not to be pigeonholed to mere vegan appeal, Wellspring also serves up traditional favorites like turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and sweet potatoes. It's a la carte and by the pound, though, so customers should watch their wallets.

And while the popular eatery's doors will be closed on Thanksgiving proper, Foster's still plans to rise to the occasion with a two-page menu of pre-paid carryout options. Among the several courses are pumpkin bread, a sumptuous-sounding butternut squash soup, unique green bean casserole and a crab and artichoke gratin appetizer. Foster's accepts individual pre-orders or entire-meal packages, so it's worth a look even for those planning to cook at home. For the aspiring yet inexperienced home cook, the restaurant's turkey setup is hard to beat. For $3.99/ib., the market provides a seasoned, uncooked turkey with a pan and cooking instructions. It's not entirely foolproof, but it's easier than winging it from scratch. But if you want to go the Foster's route, you need to act fast —it stops taking

Surprise! The new Ricky Martin CD sucks.

By Roberto Kelley

Tuesday night, Ricky Martin and Jon Bon Jovi stumbled into a Soho bar after an all-night bender to celebrate the release of Martin's latest CD, Sound Loaded. Ricky: Hey Jon, I'll pay for this one. I'm sure 1 won't have to worry one bit about dinero after everyone buys Sound Loaded. I mean, everybody's singing it right now. "She bangs, she bangs! She moves, she moves!" Jon: Um, Ricky, instead of insisting on Kettel One in all your martinis, maybe you should be putting that cash into a 401-K, because your time is in the past. Ricky: Are you kidding? I'm livin' la vida local Jon: Right, but soon you'll just be livin' on a prayer. Ricky: Ha! You're just bitter because you spent the entire last decade being a laughingstock in every country but Germany. Now you have one little hit and you think you can criticize my music? The only reason anyone likes you is because "Shake Your Bon-Bon" made your stupid middle name slightly less embarassing. Jon: Whatever. I'm cool again because I'm plugged into what sounds good now. Ricky: What's that? Jon: NSync. My new songs sound just like NSync. Your ballads sound like "I Wanna Know What Love Is" by Foreigner. And some of your other songs sound like "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner. And Foreigner's just not cool Ricky: But 1 like Foreigner! Jon: See, there's the problem. You'll be fine as long as you're content playing to the 45-year old female demographic, but who wants that? Sure, you're better looking than Ma’rc Anthony, but his songs sound funky and orig-

inal. Yours sound like recycled Miami Sound Machine. Ricky: Old women like me? But I'm the king of Latin Pop! Jon: Sorry, Ricky, but you are to Latin Pop what those guys who sing "Who Let the Dogs Out" are to rap. Ricky: Ouch. That hurts. Jon: That's not to say that the entire record smells as bad as New Jersey air. "If You Ever Saw Her" is pretty clever, and "Amor" will get everyone dancing in the clubs. But there's nothing on here that's going to perpetuate your fame. Face it, Ricky, you're going down in a blaze of glory. Ricky: Bartender, could I make that Aristocrat in my martini? □

On Our Aim Is To Satisfy Red Snapper. Red Snapper shoot from the hip with a fusion of jazz, trance, dance, funk, rock, blues and psychedelia that doesn't sit quite right no matter how many times you listen. The songs meld the different elements into something that sounds like jazz at times, but with all the premeditated precision of trance and hip-hop and none of the improvisation usually found in electronic variations of jazz. MC Det and Karime Kendra lend solid-enough vocals to the music, though it's virtually undistinguishable from the earthy-breathy female vocal thing that's running rampant through trance and house music today. Although the tension-filled tracks are sometimes weighed down by their own complexity, there are a few standouts. In "The Rough and the Quick,"

professional female wrestler Karamie Kendra provides explicit instructions on performing cunnilingus ("Rub a little bit of your spit that's it! that's it! that's it!"). And the reggae-techno union conjured on "1 Stole Your Car" is so smooth it almost makes you forgive DJ Skribble for all of those bad —

—

Marley remixes.

Red Snapper's heavily-dubbed jazz-techno sound is refreshing because it doesn't sound like most of the electronically-influenced jazz out there. But don't expect the trio to fulfill its self-professed goal of satisfying the "red snapper" (reportedly a euphemism for a woman's private parts)—there are just too many flavors getting in the way of true satisfaction. —By Kelly McVicker

In support of their latest CD, Oui, the Sea and Cake play Carrboro's Cat's Cradle Saturday night

with British act Broadcast. Guitarist Archer Prewitt took some time off from sleeping on the tour bus fora morning interview with Recess. How long have you been on the road? About three months. A little less. Could you tell me a little bit about what it's like to be in a band again after three years apart? In some ways it never really ended for me, as far as with Sam [Prekop] and with John, 'cause he played in some Archer shows, too. But I think having the chemistry back again is pretty exciting. And we did miss it. How's your music different from when you're doing your solo stuff or in your other bands? What makes the Sea and Cake distinct? I think the Sea and Cake is perhaps more democratic, more of four people. Does Sam write all the lyrics? He does more now than in the earlier days. Eric and I contributed more, too. When you write a song, does one guy usually bring in an idea, or is it the band sitting around and playing? No, it's more like Sam brings in the song idea, and then we flesh it out. After being in your own band and making your own record, would you rather play more of your own songs? I bring some things to the group, maybe just a handful thus far. I don't know if mine would necessarily work within the Sea and Cake framework, it's a different kind of thing. What instruments do you play? Guitar and keyboards. Who does all of the programming and electronic stuff? Well, 1 would say that primarily John McEntire, but Sam has been really figuring it out well. He's

doing a lot of that at home. Like he did all his vocals at home for this last record on his computer. In the past, that's taken up a lot of time in the studio. He actually recorded the vocals at home on his computer? Yeah, he has a really nice studio setup at home. He's been figuring that out for a while. He's actually done some really nice electronica stuff. 1 hope he puts it out sometime. Where were you before you moved to Chicago? Kansas City, that's where I went to art school. Was music just a hobby, or have you always been in bands? Um, I started playing in bands when I was 18. But it wasn't really a hobby, it was just something I really wanted to do. Why is there such a different thing going on in Chicago than in other cities around the States? I don't know that it doesn't happen in other places, but within a group of about 20 musicians there's just a little more interplay. I think maybe some of the bands are more aggressive about their ambitions, keeping the doors open and bringing, say, a trumpet player. Have you been to North Carolina? Oh yeah. It's great. We like to get that barbe-

The buzz lately is that the Britpop scene is rearing its ugly head once more for another "invasion," after its first wave of Oasis, Radiohead, Blur and Pulp fizzled instead of banged. Hot on the heels of UK chart thrashers Travis, Cofdpiay release their debut, Parachutes. The buzz should end here before things get nasty. Reaffirming the growing realization that bands of white guys with two guitars and drums is embarrassingly anachronistic, Parachutes rips halfheartedly from so many bands that the result ends up being way less than the sum of its parts. The very first single "Yellow" is pretty indicative of the mediocrity to follow. "I came along/f wrote a song for you/And all the things you do /And it was called 'yellow'." Take that, "Wonderwalf! There’s no reason to try to sound like a weak derivative of the alreadyGRADE: derivative Oasis {in Math 32 terms, I* that makes Parachute a second derivative of a good album).

The Gray Boat Club at Division, and Damon, that's a great bar. Feya, for Swedish pancakes, which I wish I was eating right now. It's pretty damn early, huh? Yeah, I just woke up. Okay, well we'll wrap this up. Just give me a handful of the top records of 2000. Radiohead, Kid A. Twink, think pink. D'Angelo, Voodoo. Smog, Knock Knock, oh wait, that's old.D

Two Duke Players lab productions this weekend provide a great look at Duke talent.

The House of Yes

For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls

By Alexandra Wolfe

By Mary Carmichael ffj /j

'"o find out what plays can do

on't you just love The Glass Menagerie? The maudlin symbolism? The sad, saccharine storyline? 0h... You do? Then you probably should skip For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls. But for those of us who love to hate Tennessee Williams' bathetic play, this send-up is a hilarious diversion. Williams left us such memorable caricatures: aging Amanda, retiring Laura, belligerent Tom and engaging (and engaged) Jim. In their stead, the Duke Players offer up... The mother: A fading Southern belle, desperate to get rid of her younger child.

that movies can't, go see The House of Yes, a dark comedy by Wendy McLeod showing in 209 East Duke this weekend. You will see how it is not always the plot alone that keeps audi/

ences riveted. The eerie scenery, Jesse Belsky's mysterious lighting, and Nic De Armendi's percus-

sive, well-synchronized sound design set the mood for this chilling tale. The story begins with the mother, Mrs. Pascal, the sister, Jackie-D, and younger brother, Anthony, awaiting the return of Jackie-O's twin brother, Marty. The audience gets a glimmer of Jackie-O's singularity and insanity from the start, and when Marty comes home with an unexpected female guest, the characters' bizarre relationships come to the surface in a twisted and riveting plot DirectorTalya Klein punctuates telling moments with foreshadowing choreography that turnsthe piece into a play and dance at iSt the same time. The most interesting part of the staging is the fact that there is no backstage. All of the characters stay on stage the entire time, even though scenes alternate between them.The "off-

most notable character by far. From her hilarious lip sync as the doors open, to her dramatic and climactic finale, she has the theater captivated. Valerio hits every emotion on the head, and her character's shifting emotions yield a truly impressive performance. Missy Bird-Vogel (Mrs. Pascal) is also a strong presence onstage, staying involved and energetic throughout the show and making her character's cold, calculating demeanor believable.

The child: A painfully shy, teenager with eczema, asthma and an affected limp. The visitor: Not a gentleman caller—but close enough. The trick is that Laura has morphed into Lawrence, and caller Jim is Ginny, a loud, lumbering lesbian with a woman to get home to. Gender reversal is the kind of device that either makes a play or breaks it. Thankfully, here it's in the hands of Christopher Durang, master playwright of the high school one-act competition set, and clever director Dan Mallory (who happens to make a hell of a Film Editor for this very publication, we might add). Lawrence, a mentally retarded, hypochondriac goofball, is gloriously overplayed by Nathaniel Witty. But mother Amanda has almost all the good lines, and Kate Lucas delivers them with the dryness of a fine chardonnay. Tom's homosexuality, slightly latent in Menagerie, is out in full force here, with a shirtless, leather-clad Paul Downs delivering a monologue about Amsterdam and LSD. And Ginny—boy, is she loud. Elisabeth Miller has the vocal chords of a banshee. (Put to good effect

here, of course. Ginny is the pivotal character).

Hats off to costume

designer Alyson Levy. Ginny looks like she's just escaped from prison, Downs looks like he's just escaped from a Village People concert and Lawrence looks just plain silly in plaid pants and a bowtie And kudos, too, to Mallory for the inspired musical touch at the end. A note: If you somehow managed to miss reading The Glass Menagerie in middle/high school, some of the lines just won't make sense. Ignore them and concentrate on Lawrence's ridiculous expression—it will keep you laughing all the way to curtain call. □

he added that the plan embraces EOS faculty and enhances the interdisciplinary atmosphere of the school. That view was met with discontentment by Stuart Rojstaczer, associate professor of EOS, who decried both the continued integration of the two groups and the actions of certain administrators. Calling the 1996 merger “a top-down idea, your typical shotgun marriage, he quoted a recent external review of the school that recommended either an improved union or a divorce between EOS and Nicholas. “The arrangement is still an awkward combination of a department and an interdisciplinary school,” Rojstaczer read. Although he called the three divisions within the NSOE a Balkanization” of the school, he supports the plan simply to bring an end to the discussion. Rojstaczer specifically criticized Provost Peter Lange for “wearing down” the faculty by persisting with the merger. But Emily Klein, associate professor of EOS, sympathized with the position of administrators, and suggested that the merger, although not ideal, has had some benefits. She said that EOS was not a priority when it was a department in Arts and Sciences, and that it has thrived since moving. “Geology within Duke University is healthier and can be successful in Nicholas in a time of limited resources,” she said. IN OTHER BUSINESS: Jim Clack, interim vice president for student affairs, discussed with the faculty some ofthe challenges he has faced since taking the position in July. He said that alcohol has absorbed most of his time as he tries to educate students and provide social alternatives. “You’ve got to educate these students. They’ve got to know,” he said, citing a pamphlet distributed this year on the dangers of alcohol. While he admitted the failure of non-alcoholic programming at the beginning of the semester, Clack said that redistributing its funding has had positive results. After Clack’s talk, Rojstaczer praised him for working on the alcohol issue. But Robert Conrad, associate professor of public policy, suggested that the administration might be going too far. ‘Too much of what you said today is treating [students] like children,” he said. Continuing to gather input on the renovation of Perkins Library, Robert Byrd, chair of the Perkins Library Renovations Committee, and University Librarian David Ferriero presented the Academic Council with the draft of their priorities. They were joined by architect Geoffrey Freeman of Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott, and discussed their goal of integrating the library into the University.

state, which already suffer from declining enrollments. Smaller private institutions have difficulty competing with the low tuitions of the UNC system, and now, with billions of dollars of new capital making the public universities even more attractive, Leef fears that small institutions are doomed. More often than not, however, Keohane’s efforts met with optimism and gratitude. “I saw man-onthe-street interviews, as well as interviews with people who went to private institutions and said they weren’t going to support the bonds. Keohane addressed those attitudes and really took them to

task,” said Evelyn Hawthorne, associate vice chancellor for government relations at UNC’s Chapel Hill campus. She said that Keohane’s involvement certainly contributed to the bond’s success. Bevacqua, too, expressed her appreciation for

Keohane’s efforts. “First of all, I was very pleased she took an active role in supporting the bonds,” Bevacqua said. “Her involvement was important for all education,... It really sent a message that all higher education is important.” Keohane said she chooses her involvement conscientiously. “There are occasions when you should speak out,” she said, “but those should be chosen wisely and not done so often that their effect is blunted by overuse.”

Professor Jeremy Waldron, student ofphilosopher John Rawls, will be speaking on “Law’s Concern With Justice” The proposition that law has a special concern with justice may seem too obvious to need argument. But it becomes controversial when “justice” is understood, not simply as the fair application of legal rules, but as an external standard governing distribution of rights and goods among individuals. I shall argue that law does promise a special concern with that external standard. The most common argument to the contrary is associated with the Economic Analysis ofLaw (EAL); that law is properly concerned with aggregate efficiency, and that distribution among individuals really doesn’t matter. But their arguments are incapable of explaining law’s special preoccupation (indeed law’s special task) of resolving distributive claims as between individuals. Professor Waldron has taught at a number of leading universities including UC Berkley and Oxford. He is Director of the Center for Law and Philosophy at Columbia University, and his work explores the overlap between jurisprudence, political theory, and moral and political philosophy. He is the author of numerous books, most recently The Dignity ofLegislation (Cambridge, 1999) and Law and Disagreement (Oxford, 1999). °

Justice: What Is It and Who Needs It?”

“Justice: What Is It and Who Needs It? is a lecture series designed to educate primarily undergraduate students at Duke University about the major theories ofjustice, and the applications of those theories to a student s personal life and to the culture. A prominent advocate will explain the theory and application ofeach view ofjustice, and there will be ample time for audience interaction. The hope, of course, is that by being better educated, students will be able to make intelligent choices about these crucial moral issues. ”

because I still think I’m a young guy and haven’t coached that long.” With the addition of Bradley, Villanova has one ofthe best frontcourts in the Big East—a surprise considering the Wildcats lost their top scorer and rebounder, Malik Allen, and their leading assist man, small forward Brian Lynch, to graduation. Allen’s and Lynch’s starting assignments have been taken by sophomore Aaron Matthews and juniors Brooks Sales and Bradley. “Brooks is one of our most versatile players,” coach Steve Lappas said. “We ask him to do a lot of things and he does them well. He is probably out best interior defender. Aaron is very tough and strong, yet skilled enough to work on the perimeter.” The youthful Wildcat frontcourt tallied 57 of the team’s 101 points against Fairfield and should be a formidable opponent for the Duke frontcourt of Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Battier. “Villanova is a tough team,” Krzyzewski said. “We are going to have to play a really good game to beat them because they have a big frontcourt.” In addition to its strong frontcourt .Villanova returns two productive guards in senior Jermaine Medley and sophomore Gary Buchanan. In the Wildcats’ postseason push last year in which the team won nine of its final 14 games, Medley held the point guard position and scored 11.4 points per game.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2000

The Chronicle

Buchanan had a great freshman campaign averaging 12.5 points per game. He displayed the ability to put up big numbers, including 28 points against Georgia. Buchanan was named to the Big East All-Rookie team. “Gary is a tremendous shooter and he had a terrific freshman year.” Lappas said. In their first games, both Duke and Villanova did not give major minutes to their bench players. However, Nate James is convinced that Duke’s depth will be seen against the Wildcats. “We’re definitely deep,” the senior co-captain said. “The thing is that all our subs are pretty much big guys. [Tuesday’s] game wasn’t designed for the big guys. When we play Villanova, you’ll see our depth, our big guys will play more.”

While Duke played well against Princeton overall, at times the Blue Devils struggled on defense. In addition, they did not utilize their size as much as they would have liked, something Battier knows must change against Villanova. “We didn’t take advantage of our height [against Princeton],” Battier said. “When we play Villanova, that will definitely have to change. They’re a big, physical team.” Notes: The game will start at 7 p.m., not 9 p.m., which was printed on tickets sold to students over a month ago. Sophomore forward Nick Horvath will not dress because of an injury to his foot.

ANALYSIS Villanova’s strong frontcourt of Aaron Matthews, Brooks Sales and Michael Bradley match-up very well physically with the Blue Devils’ trio. Mike Dunleavy should be the X-factor here, with his quickness and sharp outside shot creating trouble. Look for Shane Battier and Bradley to put on a great show.

THE NOD

Villanova guards Jermaine Medley and Gary Buchanan combined for 8-oMI shooting and 36 points against Fairfield, but Duke is not Fairfield. Look for Jason Williams, Nate James and Chris Duhon to control the pace of play and play tight defense, leading to lots of ’Nova turnovers. Even though Duhon and Casey Sanders struggled to find their place against Princeton. Villanova’s bench did not do much better against Fairfield. Look for Duhon, Sanders and Christensen to play larger roles in this game and out duel the ’Nova bench on the court. Villanova is flying a high after a win at home and strong play from all its starters: unfortunately this game is in Cameron, the home of the Crazies. Look for Duke to feed off the crowd’s energy. It is likely that none of ‘Nova’s players have ever experienced an environment quite like Cameron.

H 11

Although Villanova might have a strong frontcourt and a solid backcourt, Duke is better on both fronts. After a slow start against Princeton, look for the Blue Devils to take it to the Wildcats early with lots of defensive intensity. Villanova will put up a fight, but Duke’s pressure will be too much.

Hingis, Kournikova advance in Chase Championships By 808 GREENE Associated Press

NEW YORK

Accustomed to playing on the same Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova will face each other in the semifinals of the Chase Championships. side of the net as doubles partners,

Hingis survived a mid-match lapse to defeat

sixth-seeded Nathalie Tauziat 6-1, 6-7 (2), 6-2, and Kournikova cruised past No. 4 Conchita Martinez 6-

4, 6-0. The second semifinal pairing will be determined tonight when No. 3 Monica Seles plays Amanda Coetzer, followed by surprising Elena Dementieva against Kim Clijsters in a battle of teenagers. Dementieva upset defending champion Lindsay Davenport in a first-round match Wednesday night. Kournikova seemed surprised when told after her match that she would face Hingis in the penultimate round. “I guess we have no problem playing each other,’ she said. Asked how to beat the world’s No. 1 player, Koumikova, who has yet to win a professional tournament, said: “You have to do a lot of things. You have to be lucky. You have to play with no mistakes. You have to create everything yourself.” Against Martinez, Koumikova needed almost none of those things. The Spanish veteran seemed content to loop her forehand and slice her backhand, the ball bouncing right into Koumikova’s power zone. The second set took just 25 minutes as only one game went to deuce, the second game when Koumikova was serving. In the last three games ofthe match, Martinez won just four points, two on Kournikova’s errors. “She has more patience,” Martinez said of Koumikova. “She hits the ball the same, but doesn’t miss as much. I was going too much for the lines and making mistakes.” her 12th appearance at the Making Championships, Martinez has never gotten past the

bles partner, who just happens to be the best player in the world. Hingis, 20, is seeking her first major title since the 1999 Australian Open and her first victory here since winning this season-ending tournament in 1998. Hingis zipped through the opening set before the 33-year-old Tauziat, one of the oldest players on the WTA Tour, picked up her game and took a 5-3 lead in the second set. Hingis fought back to knot the score and send it to a tiebreak, where Tauziat quickly won the first five points. After the French player won the tiebreaker to level the match at a set apiece, Hingis rolled out to a 5-0 advantage in the decisive third set. “She just picked up her game and started reading my game better. She served very well,” Hingis said in explaining the second set. “I started pushing the ball instead of taking my chances.”

That was not the case in the third set. Hingis attacked, even from a defensive mode. She went for winners from the baseline instead of just keeping the ball in play. On one point, pinned behind the baseline on a ball that hit right in the corner, Hingis ripped a forehand down the line for a winner, choosing to go over the high part of the net instead of taking the usual crosscourt shot. Tauziat, expecting the usual, was standing at the middle of the net waiting when the ball whizzed by her for a winner. Tauziat, who reached a career-high world ranking of No. 3 in May, never wavered or changed the way she played, continually attacking, taking the net at every chance. But Hingis, who sometimes calls Tauziat “professor” because ofher age and knowledge of the game, followed Tauziat into the net for putaway volleys.

quarterfinals, although she was ranked as high as No. 2 in the world in 1995. Kournikova is on a roll. The 19-year-old Russian, making her third appearance in the tournament, won her first match at Madison Square Garden in the first round when she topped Jennifer Capriati. “The first time I played here I was really nervous,” Kournikova said. “I was 16 years old and was very happy to be here. Last year I was coming off a

foot injury.” Now she is in the semifinals and facing her dou-

Duke’s frontcourt is much improved, especially after having to go much of last year without Peppi Browne The freshman duo of Beard and Tillis should tear apart the Tribe’s Quintina Walker and company, both in transition and on the glass. Look for Beard to have another impressive night in her home debut. The Tribe’s point guard, Jen Sobota, is its player to watch, having team highs of 15 points and 13 assists in an exhibition game last week. Duke, though, brings Naismith candidate Georgia Schweitzer, who should light it up against a team that struggled to . keep teams under 80 points last season.

ALANA BEARD makes her home debut tomorrow night against William & Mary. ing a last-place 1-15 record in conference play.

Though the Blue Devils may be young, they are also deep. Michelle Matyasovsky and Missy West gave coach Gail Goestenkors solid minutes against LSD, and Crystal White and Lello Gebisa could see some playing time against a shallow William and Mary bench.

William Mary has a lot to gain from even a somewhat close loss tomorrow, but the atmosphere in Cameron and the intimidation of playing against the No. 3 team should prevent this from happening. Duke is riding a wave of confidence, and has plenty of incentive to put this game out of reach early.

an impressive 9.0 points, as well as showing that she can play the type of pressing defense that Goestenkors loves.

“Alana might be the most skilled player we have had,” the coach said. “Iciss is one of the most versatile, she hits threes, posts up [and] blocks shots as well.” The Blue Devils came in to the season with high expectations, but also a young roster. Although Goestenkors felt the Blue Devils can improve a lot from last week, she must be relieved considering the start of the talented 1998 squad. “Two years ago we were ranked in the top four and we started 1-3,” Goestenkors said. “We have the potential to be the best team we have ever had, but we’re very, very young.” Their youth may get a chance to gain experience tomorrow, 6-foot-4 Crystal White and 6-7 Lello Gebisa could see some playing time after sitting against LSU. “Crystal is an exceptional athlete and shot-blocker,” said Goestenkors. “She has to get stronger, [but] she has a lot ofpotential.” William & Mary plays its opener tomorrow, hoping to rebound from a season in which it went 6-21, includ-

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2000

Although there is always the worry of a letdown after such a successful first tournament, the fact that tomorrow’s game is a home opener should be motivation enough for the Blue Devils to roll over a less talented William & Mary team. Look for Duke to execute its trademark pressure defense and force the Tribe into several early mistakes. Duke 94, William Mary 51 Compiled by Thomas Steinberger

Men’s team primed for strong run at nationals

Cross Country

� CROSS COUNTRY from page 19 NCAAs. “We were biting nails until we called people on the committee on Monday afternoon.” The wait was not nearly as anxious for Duke’s men’s cross country team. No. 19 Duke had every reason to expect an invitation following a long-awaited ACC title and a third-place performance at last weekend’s disrace.

trict For the Blue Devil men, it was not whether they would be asked to Ames, but how well they will do once they get there. One year after they crossed the finish line in 26th place, the Blue Devils were not included in the NCAA field last season. With its most talented core of runners ever up front, Duke is primed for what could be its best performance at nationals in history. ‘The guys on the team are very excited,” men’s coach Norm Ogilvie said. “They know that we could culminate the most successful season Duke cross country has ever had. They have shown remarkable success so far this year, but they definitely want to go out with a great performance at the NCAA meet.” Senior leaders Terry Brennan, Sean Kelly and Brendan Fitzgibbon underscore the biggest factor in Duke’s dramatic rise to national prominence. Both Brennan and Kelly, who finished one-two at the Southeast regionals, have legitimate shots at being All-Americans, while Fitzgibbon could attain that status with a spectacular race. Together, the trio of

front-runners has provided Duke with enough stabil-

ity to shoot for a possible top-10 finish in the nation-

al rankings. “We have every reason to believe we can be top 15,” Ogilvie said. “If we have a great race, we might even be able to be top 10, but top 15 is a very worthy goal.” While the A teams for both the men and women will be awaiting Monday’s Championships, the B teams will have their own championship race this weekend. Tomorrow, Duke will have seven men and seven women in the Bronx, N.Y., where the IC4As and ECACs are set to get underway a little bit later in the season than usual. The men have finished third at the IC4As the last three years, while the women are the defending ECAC champions. This year, however, with the NCAA Championships only two days after the IC4As and ECACs, the Blue Devils will rely on their second teams to continue their recent success. We may not be able to do that well this time, but we’ll be competitive with our B squad,” Ogilvie said. “We’re, really happy that it lets the rest of the team have a championship meet at the end of the year.”

year-old daughter who is a freshman in high school and “the best athlete in the family.” “I am particularly proud of how my kids have grown into interesting people with their own interests, and not mine. I’ve seen them mature incredibly and they are always open-minded and willing to try new things,” Browne said. “They’re good people.” Browne also believes living in Los Alamos has provided great opportunities for community interaction for his family. “There are very different cultures in Los Alamos.... Interacting with people of other cultures, in the long run, will help my kids deal with the multi-cultural community of the [United States] But to Browne— a skiing mountainbiking, jogging and tennis playing enthusiast—Los Alamos provides more than just a diverse community. “The Gemez Mountains in Los Alamos are beautiful. The location is great for the outdoors and there’s lots to do,” he said. “Education is a pretty big issue here and you see a lot of volunteerism when it comes to the environment.” Browne was named director of Los Alamos National Lab in 1987. Since then, he has played an integral part in running the lab facility and overseeing all of the research and proposals. However, he acknowledges the politics associated with his position. “Los Alamos is a lab with such great scientific reputation but politicians sometimes tend to focus on the mistakes rather than the types of outstanding contributions our lab has made,” said Browne. “It’s really frus-

trating when people look at what’s gone wrong rather than what’s right. The lab is spread over 43 square miles of government property and employs over 10,000 people—mistakes will happen and people need to overlook those.” In addition, his position ha£ undoubtedly posed implications on his personal life: “I travel quite a bit, and it’s been a challenge to balance my work and my family. I really wish I could spend more time with my family, especially when my children have grown up so fast and even though we’ve spent a lot of time together, I wish there could be even more time we can be together,” he said.

Nevertheless, Browne plans to continue as the director of the lab. He would

like to eventually return to teaching college students because, “I think I can give insight into how physics is used in the lab and how a lab is run.” Depending on his options, he said, he may consider teaching at Duke. “I think it’s especially important to get students engaged in thinking about ethics and research because that’s where the field is headed,” he said. “Duke really let me grow and [the graduate program] offered me experiences and opportunities I don’t think I would have gotten elsewhere. The faculty also strongly encouraged me to take risks, both scientifically and personally, which have great bearing now in my career.” Reminiscing about a recent visit to Duke, Browne noted how much the area has changed since the 19605. “I’m amazed at how much the triangle area has grown,” Browne said, reminisc-

lost has been his ties to Duke basketball. “I’ve converted my entire family into Duke fans,” Browne said proudly. “Being a [Duke basketball] fan is a great experience because it ties everyone together, and that spirit is something you never lose.”

His favorite jobs were with OMB and SBA, where he could “become deeply involved in the details of government,” and “really see the difference that you could make through government.” He is less nostalgic about his position as deputy chief of staff, where he had an office located between the Oval Office and the Vice

President’s office. “It was like drinking water from a fire hydrant with a straw—things were just coming at you. And inevitably in that job there is a significant governpolitical overlay, and I’m more interested ment than politics.” But Lader’s accomplishments did not begin with this appointment. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Duke with a degree in political science, he headed off to the University of Michigan to earn a masters in history. From there, it was to further his graduate studies at Oxford’s Pembroke College and then to Harvard University to earn a law degree. Most of his pride, though, remains at his first alma mater. “Duke changed my life,” Lader said with certainty at the first reference to how his education affected him. Lader quickly pointed out that for his family, the Duke ties go back a long way. “My wife’s grandfather was hired by the Duke Divinity School after the Scopes Trial to teach future Methodist ministers how to reconcile evolution with their faith.” Lader had the equivalent of a major in religion as well, but Duke did not permit double majors in 1966. He fondly recalled an independent study in religion as one of the highlights ofhis academic career and a symbol of life-long learning. “I did an independent study under Professor [Thomasl Langford, a wonderful human being, on William Temple, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury at the turn of the century. “Recently I was invited by the current Archbishop to have lunch at his house, and there were all these portraits of former Archbishops. We came to William Temple and I immediately remembered a quotation from that independent study in 1963 and we talked about that for the entire lunch. And I hadn’t really thought about that since I had done that independent study in 1963. But you just think of the things that students are doing today that will be relevant to them later in their lives, and it is just extraordinary.” It was a different Duke that Lader recalls. He was

a student during the mid-19605, a time that was, more like the 1950s than the late 605.” He missed out on the progressiveness and instead attended a university that was segregated, both racially and sexually. “My freshman year, women still had to be in the dorms at 10:30 p.m. on weeknights. East Campus was a women’s campus. It was a very dif-

ferent environment. We still had Saturday classes.” Lader took part in several on-campus organizations. He was freshman class president, a benchwarmer on the tennis team, a member of the Court of Appeals (now the Undergraduate Judicial Board), a resident adviser, chair of the University Symposium—an intellectual conference that brought in major speakers—and he also served on The Chronicle’s editorial board. Lader even credits Duke with being a part of the inspiration behind Renaissance Weekend, an annual off-the-record conference he started that brings families from around the world to Hilton Head for deep policy debate, a chance to meet the families of close friends and play touch football on the beach. The event has grown from 60 families to hundreds. “The first year we were amazed. Terry Sanford came down. Dave Gergen came for the next 16 or 17 years. Joel Fleishman has been with us every year.” And even though these people may not all agree on policy, Lader asserts, “You can learn a lot when there is more light than heat in a gathering.” The ambassador relishes every opportunity to come back to Duke, especially for basketball games. And while he did not feel like enough of an expert to comment on some of the problems that Duke currently faces, in the more abstract he offered an analysis of his times at the University and what education should mean to students. “Social life is an important dimension of fun, of life, of expansion and of practice of certain graces and skills. But I fear, having done a couple of stints as a college president, that it causes a dilution of the fundamental purpose of higher education, which is the growth of the life of the mind.” But for right now, Lader’s plan is to serve out his term as ambassador to the United Kingdom, which ends once the next president takes office, and head back to the private sector. He has two daughters, Mary-Catherine and Whitaker, who after three years of all-girl day schooling are looking forward to going to school in the states again. Whether either of them will be headed to Duke is another question. Lader insists, “That depends on their interests, their performance and some admissions officer.” He quickly added, “Right now they would love to.”

Eleanor Smeal ’6l President, Feminist Majority Foundation By Mary Carmichael gender, but also by religion. “We just noticed, finally, that all the Catholics were in G-A,” she said in a 1995 speech at Duke. “We realized that every women.... Can we reschedule?” She’s on a cell phone Catholic roomed with a Catholic and every Jew in a restaurant, and the background voices are roomed with a Jew.” Smeal, who was president of G-A her junior drowning her out. That’s rare for Smeal, who has made a career of year, gathered a group of students and started quesspeaking up for those who otherwise might not be tioning the administration. But when the campus heard. As a three-time president of the National Organization for Women, Smeal has played a part in almost every women’s rights movement over the last quarter-century, from making sure girls could play Little League to pushing for the Civil Rights Restoration Act. She regularly appears on television and before Congress, and is the co-founder and president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, based in Arlington, Va. Figuratively, Smeal has come a long way from the tiny town of Erie, Penn., where she grew up. She had never been south of the Mason-Dixon line before she came to Duke. (In fact, she didn’t even know what the Mason-Dixon line was.) But with her parents traveling back and forth between their home in Erie and their business in Florida, she wanted “somewhere that was in between... and that had high academic standing.” Duke was the obvious answer.

Eleanor Smeal’s sentences have been reduced to

snippets. “Just did a press conference.... This institute just released a huge study.... Importance of

voted on the issue, she was sorely disappointed. “The women’s campus voted for integration,” she said. “But the men’s campus voted against it, and women were only 25 percent of the campus.” Fired by her anger, Smeal majored in political science and thought she would become a crusading lawyer, or even run for Congress, Instead, she was told by a male professor that it would never happen.

A campus split in two When Smeal arrived, the campus was split into the Woman’s College and Trinity College, which didn’t merge until 1972. “I didn’t know that when I went there—l would never have chosen it,” Smeal said. “I didn’t understand, until I got there, the significance of a women’s campus and a male campus.” The division cut several ways. On the positive side, women at Duke were given leadership opportunities they might not have had at gender-integrated schools, where student organizations were dominated by men. On the other hand, women made up only a quarter of the student body, and for them, admission was a harder prize to win. The unexpected effect was that the top students were usually female. “We were called the Beasts from the East,” Smeal said. “The girls had tremendous grade point averages and great SATs.... [The men] used to resent the fact that women did better in class. For a while, I just thought we were naturally smarter.” Assigned to Gilbert-Addoms Dormitory, Smeal found a campus segregated not only by race and

Game time: Saturday, noon Place: Wallace Wade Stadium TV/Radio: JP Sports UNO record: 5-5 (2-5 in the ACC) Duke record: 0-10 (0-7 in the ACC) Series record: UNC leads 48-35-4 Last meeting: UNC humiliated Duke 38-0 in last season’s finale. Tar Heels kicker Josh McGee tied an ACC record by hitting six field goals. Playing with a broken bone in his foot, Spencer Romine was only able to pass for 92 yards with three interceptions. Duke committed six turnovers in the game as UNC ran away with the win.

Jeff Reed might be the best kicker in the ACC, having hit 15 of 19 field goals. He is perfect from inside the 40-yard line. Blake Ferguson is a mediocre punter who averages just 36.5 yards per punt. Ronnie Hamilton averages 8.3 yards per return, so if the defense ever stops UNC, Duke should get good field position.

Brian Morton leads the ACC in yards per punt, averaging 45.1. Bosley Allen is a dangerous returner, having take one punt back for a touchdown already this season. Allen is second in the ACC in yards per return. Brent Garber has been reasonably consistent kicking field goals for Duke.

UNC has won 10 straight against Duke. The last time Duke took home the Victory Bell, George Bush was president. Confidence is at a season-high after an excellent performance in last week’s loss to N.C.State. However, North Carolina needs this win to be bowl eligible. Furthermore, a loss might cost coach Carl Torbush his job. This is the third week in a row that the Tar Heels’ backs have been to the wall. They responded the last two times by squeaking out wins over Pittsburgh and Maryland. With their superior talent, the Tar Heels should be able to overcome a stiff challenge from a fired-up Blue Devils team. UNC wins, 31-20. Compiled by Tyler Rosen
