Duke may privatize remaining University eateries By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle
In a move they had repeatedly promised not to make, Dining Services officials have begun negotiating with a private company to manage Duke’s last few campus eateries. Citing declining revenue at the Oak Room, The Great Hall, the East Campus Marketplace and the University-owned
Chick-fil-A franchise, Joe Pietrantoni, associate vice president for auxiliary services, has begun talks with $7 billion ARAMARK—a Philadelphia-based food ser-
vice, uniform and childcare
provider.
The decision to begin privatization negotiations represents a significant shift in dining policy. For years, Auxiliary Services officials said they would never privatize their core restaurants, but after Pietrantoni completed the most recent Auxiliary Services strategic plan, he said that privatization had to be explored.
continually “To stay abreast of the market is more challenging than it was a few years ago. It’s time for us to realize that we could not keep up with student demand without more expertise,” he said. “Our employees do good work, but strategically what we’ve learned is that we needed to be trained to provide more diverse foods; more than just meat and potatoes and meatloaf. I can’t provide training in the foods students want.” ARAMARK currently manages major eateries at several colleges on the East Coast including the University of Virginia and Wake Forest and Clemson Universities. The company, whose food services division is valued at nearly $2 billion, has a network of test kitchens and chefs that allows it to develop menus and training courses. Additionally, the company has already developed stations at other universities that provide vegetarian cuiSec PRIVATIZATION on page 12.!*

Council gives initial OK to Ganyard OIE checking up on Health System By MATT ATWOOD The Chronicle
DEAN MICHAELS, president of the Watts Hospital-Hillandale Neighborhood Association, speaks to the City Council Monday.
In a five-hour meeting Monday night, the Durham City Council considered two development plans that opponents said would place too much stress on already-crowded schools. The council denied a request by development firm Olde South Homes for an 82-horae subdivision in East Durham in a 5-7 vote, but approved the initial rezoning for a larger project on Ganyard Hill Farm in Southeast Durham by an 8-4 vote. Both projects were recommended by city planning staff, but the seven-member joint City-County Zoning Committee had recommended denying both. Protest petitions against both were filed, but only the petition against Olde South Homes was found sufficients meaning that the council needed 10 votes to pass that plan, compared to seven for the Ganyard Farms proposal. A1 Alphin, the attorney for Olde South Homes, said the firm’s plan—which called for rezoning 23.14 acres to allow up to 82 homes, rather than 75—would help improve East Durham. “East Durham needs this kind of development because it’s an ownership-type thing, and by nature people owning property contribute more to the community,” he said. But neighborhood residents and Zoning Committee members opposed the project, saying it would place an undue burden on the neighborhood’s infrastructure. Steve Bocckino, a Zoning Committee member, cited the impact on local schools, which are already using portable trailers to house classrooms. Bocckino said 17 of Durham’s 27 elementary schools are now over capacity. “Facilities are overburdened,” he said. “Some of those kids eat lunch at 10:15 in the morning. How See CITY COUNCIL on page 7

An office that was created six years ago to serve the Duke University Health System is this week taking its first recent steps toward that goal. For the first time, later this week, Vice President for Institutional Equity Sally Dickson will meet with officials from several Health System components including Durham Regional Hospital and Raleigh Community Hospital to discuss Duke’s policies of inclusiveness, diversity, affirmative action, harassment and compliance with the Americans with Disability Act. Dickson has been meeting with DUHS employees and administrators in order to evaluate the relationship between the Office of Institutional Equity and the Health System and recommend improvements. “We don’t have the presence in the Health System that I would like to have. I don’t think employees fully know we are a resource to create a diverse and respectful workplace,” Dickson said. “I see us at Duke University, that includes the Health System, making sure that Health System employees view us as a resource.” Some employees said that although they are not familiar with OIE specifically, they did know the procedure for filing a complaint. “We have real good supervisors who keep us well-informed,” said front desk receptionist Dorothy Daye. “There’s not enough time in the day for-us to read all the material, but I know there are rules and I would know how to [make a complaint! Since its inception in 1995, the Office of Institutional Equity has played a small role in the health system. That, however, was not by design. When President Nan Keohane created the department, she specifically envisioned that OIE would be an active See OIE on page 12 P

Oklahoma City memorial opens President Bush called the museum a “place of peace and remembrance” By YVONNEABRAHAM The Boston Globe OKLAHOMA CITY Six years after a massive bomb tore a painful gash into this city, President George W. Bush presided over one of the last official milestones in the long saga of the worst domestic terrorist act in American history. Surrounded by families of those killed in the April 19,1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building, as well as survivors, rescue workers and several thousand other Oklahomans, Bush dedicated the city’s new National Memorial Center in an emotion-laden ceremony. In his speech, a solemn Bush called Oklahoma City “one of those

Fate of Milosevic remains uncertain By ALEKSANDAR VASOVIC Associated Press
BELGRADE Yugoslav officials said Monday it may take months to draw up legislation for cooperation with the U.N. war crimes tribunal, signaling further delays in the extradition of former president Slobodan Milosevic for trial. Carla Del Ponte, the chief U.N. war crimes prosecutor, meanwhile, urged the European Union to step up pressure on Yugoslavia to extradite Milosevic and other indicted war crime suspects for trial in The Hague. Though she did not urge the 15-nation bloc to set a deadline for extraditions, Del Ponte saidthe E.U had the means to convince President Vojislav Kostunica and other Yugoslav leaders to send a cooperative “signal.”
Yugoslav officials have insisted that the country’s current laws ban extradition of local citizens to foreign courts and that a new law would be needed to allow cooperation with the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands. Even advocates of Milosevic’s extradition have pulled back in recent days. Yugoslav Justice Minister Momcilo Grubac cautioned Monday that it would take “several months” for legislation outlining cooperation with the U.N tribunal to be drafted and put to parliament—and that such a law might actually work against extradition of suspects. Some federal government ministers who have switched loyalties from Milosevic to his successor, extradition opponent Kostunica, also said they would oppose any move to extradite the former leader.

Interview process may be revamped By NADINE OOSMANALLY The Chronicle
As admissions officials narrow the field of potential Duke students, they are also considering changes to the process by which those students are admitted. In particular, they will be evaluating the interview process to determine how interviews can be made accessible to more high school students. The Office ofAdmissions conducts interviews on campus with admissions officers and off campus with alumni. Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions, said that he is not certain
whether this will change, but said his office will be looking at others schools’ programs—some of which allow professors and students to conduct interviews. Currently, on-campus interviews are offered on a first-come first-serve basis. About eight students can be interviewed on a given day, and interviews are conducted from May through November. Alumni conduct 8,000 to 10,000 interviews annually, Guttentag noted that not all students who receive an interview end up applying. “No university is perfect for everyone, and if a student legitimately learns it’s not as good of a match, it’s completely valid [for the student to choose not to applyl,” he said, adding that the interview rarely affects a student’s acceptance. Guttentag said his office will try to give international students more chances to interview. “That’s where we have the greatest disparity between the number of applications and the number of interviews,” he said. Most international students who receive interviews are paired with Duke alumni. In his efforts to evaluate his office’s resources, Guttentag said he will be looking at the policies of Ivy League universities and small liberal arts colleges. At Columbia University, alumni conduct interviews on a voluntary basis. As in Duke’s system, the interviews are for informational purposes and are rarely considered in the admissions decision. Their offerings are also dependent on the availability of alumni in the applicant’s region. The University ofPennsylvania has two methods for conducting its interviews—by professors or admissions officials on campus or off campus by local alumni, usually recent graduates. Interviews are also optional for Penn Sid are not considered in admissions decisions because the school cannot interview all applicants.

REBECCA GOMEZ, a reference librarian, helps out a student at Perkins Library. Gomez may soon be able to answer queries over the Internet as well as at the desk, thanks to a new instant message feature called Live Online Reference, expected to go live in the fall.
Perkins adds instant message feature By ANA MATE The Chronicle
Students and professors alike will soon be able to “instant message” University librarians via a new Perkins Library feature called Live Online Reference. The program will enable people to instantly contact the Perkins Reference Desk, making reference queries easier. Margaret Brill, a reference librarian, said establishing the Live Online Reference “fits the library’s goal for technology in reaching out to people wherever they are.” The new feature will be available for testing this summer, and will be officially launched for the fall semester. Initially it will be available only during certain hours, but over time the library hopes to make it accessible 24 hours a day. The Live Online Reference has several advantages. The response time is much quicker than in e-mail reference queries, and librarians will be able to send users links to online research databases and websites. In addi-
tion, reference librarians will be able to walk users through website and online searches much more easily. For laptop owners, an added advantage lies in accessibility; They can ask for reference help wherever they may be. Online chatting will be offered as well, and future aspects of the service will include web-based voice communication. For some students the new interactive features will be useful. “I’m all about that because any help that you can get for doing research or papers or using the library will be less work for you to do,” freshman Renee Della Ratta said. Associate Professor of History Monica Green agreed. “I applaud the idea,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful and I would like my students to take advantage of it.” Some students, however, said they did not see the need for such interactive features. “I don’t even talk to librarians,” said sophomore Adrian Li, who says he rarely uses the library reference resources at all.
Editor’s note Yesterday’s page-four story about seniors’ plans for their remaining months at Duke wrongly attributed a quote to senior Ali Curtis. The quote was, in fact, made by a student claiming to be Curtis. In a phone call yesterday, Curtis said he never made these comments. fgggm

Associated Press Two teenagers NEW CASTLE, IN wanted in the stabbing deaths of two Dartmouth College professors were arrested Monday after authorities acting on a hunch used a CB radio to lure the boys to an Indiana truck stop. James Parker, 16, and Robert Tulloch, 17, were captured peacefully before dawn at an Interstate 70 truck stop more than 700 miles from the site of the slayings in Hanover, N.H. Sgt. William Ward of the Henry County Sheriffs Department said he heard a trucker say he was carrying two teens who wanted a ride to California. Ward, who had seen television re-
ports that the Dartmouth suspects might be headed to California, got on the CB and suggested the teens might find a ride at the Flying J truck stop
south ofNew Castle. “I just said, Why don’t you drop them off at the fuel desk and someone will pick them up in a few minutes?”’ Ward said. The teens were caught a little later as they asked another trucker for a ride. “It was a long shot,” said Ward, “and I didn’t expect it would be them.” Parker and Tulloch are charged as adults with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Half and Susanne Zantop, whose bodies were found in their home January 27. Henry County Sheriff Kim Cronk said the pair will appear in court Tuesday morning for an extradition hearing
unless they waive extradition from New Castle, which is 40 miles east of Indianapolis, to New Hampshire. Attorney Robert Katims, who is representing Parker, said the boy’s parents were on their way to Indiana. He said no decision had been made on whether the boys would waive extradition. Tulloch’s mother, Diane Tulloch, told The Dartmouth, the student newspaper: “We love our son and we want the press to know that he’s innocent until proven guilty.” Half Zantop, 62, taught earth sciences. His wife, Susanne Zantop, 55, was chair of the German Studies Department. Both were naturalized citizens who were natives of Germany and traveled abroad frequently. Their slayings shocked the 6,500-student Dartmouth campus and the community of Hanover. Authorities have refused to discuss a motive or any connection between the boys and the victims, who were stabbed repeatedly. Authorities said they believed the teens left their hometown of Chelsea, Vt. Thursday, and a nationwide manhunt began over the weekend. Orange County Sheriff Dennis McClure said the boys became suspects in after authorities learned one had bought a military-style knife via the Internet. The boys were asked last Thursday to come in and provide their fingerprints, which they did voluntarily. Arrest warrants for both were issued late Friday and early Saturday.

Charity finds success in Research Triangle Park By REBECCA SUN The Chronicle
With their rapid expansion and financial success, Research Triangle Park companies are looking to give back to the community in which many of their employees reside. But within this spirit of philanthropy lie concerns with the distribution, scope and sources of the gifts. One of the largest donations in recent years was Glaxo Wellcome’s $1 million grant to North Carolina Central University to create the Julius L.
Chambers Biomedical/Biotechnblogy Research Institute. “[Corporate] support of excellence in research and training [ensures] that our students will be well-equipped to be good employees,” said Gloria Haynes, associate vice chancellor for institutional advancement at NCCU. The pharmaceutical company, now GlaxoSmithKline, also sponsors its own foundation to evaluate various grant proposals by local groups and distribute funds in the company’s name. This foundation funds the Women in Science Scholars Program, which encourages undergraduate women from schools throughout the RTP area to pursue career opportunities in pharmaceuticals and health care. To achieve this goal, the company awards scholarships and mentorships with female employees of Glaxo Wellcome who have volunteered to advise the recipients. IBM has also made it clear that education is the company’s primary focus of philanthropy. “Educating children is very important because they will be our [future! entrepreneurs [andl our CEOs,” said Nicole Pride, corporate community relations manager for IBM at RTP. Locally, IBM’s “Reinventing Education” program takes the form of the “Wired for Learning” initiative, which brings tools for online communication to teachers, students, and parents of Durham Public Schools. The program also collaborates with Duke University
and other North Carolina educational agencies to train the community to use the technology. Because most of the 150-plus organizations and companies in the area are dedicated to research and development in the areas of biotechnology, information technology, telecommunications and other related industries, their corporate giving often reflects those interests. “That [science-focused approach] is a challenge to us in the arts since we are not doing science every day,” said E’Vonne Coleman, executive director of the Durham Arts Council. “It used to be that you could knock on the door and [depending on] what the CEO likes, what the CEO’s wife likes, you were in. That is not the case [anymore].” However, Coleman pointed out that many companies have done their part in supporting the local arts. Several RTF corporations have offered financial support to CenterFest, the DAC’s annual street arts festival. Additionally, many RTP employees serve on the Durham Arts Council’s Board of Trustees, and companies like IBM have contributed in-kind gifts, volunteer hours, and employee giftmatching programs. Coleman stressed that although the arts are not an industry focus, RTP companies should still contribute to them. She explained that these companies would not only fulfill their civic responsibility to give back, but would also draw significant benefits from funding the arts. “They are trying to attract scientists to the community,” she said, noting that scientists also have to consider the overall quality of life for their families, But to further improve the community, some say that more corporate participation is needed. “[Corporate giving is] certainly beneficial to the community, but it could go further,” said Durham City Council member Floyd McKissick. “It’s a question of the magnitude in which it’s pur-

sued. When you look at the vast wealth represented in the Park... I’m not sure [the givingl is prime time.” To encourage more corporate giving, organizations such as the Triangle Community Foundation act as middlemen by matching donor funds with appropriate needs and projects within the community. Founded in 1983 by Nobel George Hitchings, the foundation currently manages over 500 individual funds. In addition, TCF has created the Catalyst Project, a comprehensive corporate giving program that plans to triple local philanthropic resources —from $1 billion to $3 billion—over the next 20 years. “We’re reaching out to corporations to instill corporate giving programs and a charitable ethic,” said Kristen Shipherd, TCP’s communications manager.
The corporations that are already philanthropically active see their giving as a natural expression of employees’ general interest in the community. “Through our history, part of our culture [has been] volunteering in the community,” Pride said. “We can’t thrive as a corporation if we’re not in a good community.” Pride said IBM’s investments to the community are a strategic venture as well. “The days of checkbook philanthropy are gone. We don’t just pull up to the agency, dump computers off a truck and drive off” she said. Sylvia Taylor, senior administrative specialist for the Glaxo Wellcome Foundation agreed. “It's a good way to do business, and helping communities rolls over. Once we get started, people want to get involved.”

Several council members said the plan was consistent with the city’s long-term vision for the area. A few council members suggested a moratorium on residential development until they could talk with the county government and the school board about the development’s impact on schools. But the council rejected a proposal to defer the decision for two weeks, saying that would not be enough time to deal with such a far-reaching issue. “We can’t hold this development

The council heard citizens’ comments on a proposal to change the portion of Sunset Avenue between Pennsylvania Avenue and Broad Street into a one-way street, but took no action on the proposal. Most neighborhood residents were in favor of the proposal, saying it would reduce traffic flow through the neighborhood and provide greater convenience and safety. According to a survey presented by proponents, 78 percent of the neighborhood supported the plan. But some senior citizens said eliminating westbound traffic on the street would make it harder for emergency vehicles to arrive. Representatives of Centura Bank, located on the comer ofSunset and Guess Road, also opposed the proposal. In a closed session two hours before the regular meeting, the council discussed the city manager selection process. Members instructed their search consultants to try to arrange interviews with the 11 applicants for a closed session March 17. About three would then be selected as finalists, Mayor Nick Tennyson said. The names and resumes of the 11 candidates will be publicly released

Doubts about debt Increased funding earmarked for the Graduate School’s social sciences and humanities departments should prove beneficial, but the University must weigh the consequence of a $500,000 debt
The
Graduate School’s decision to boost stipends and extend
summer funds to select social sciences and humanities gradu-
ate students demonstrates the school’s healthy commitment to and focus on the quality of life of its graduate students. But the school’s method—going into the red by $500,000 in two years—is quite concerning, especially given Duke’s history at this kind of financial technique. Duke’s social sciences and humanities graduate students can clearly use the extra $4,000 for up to two summers at Duke. The money is more than enough to live off in the Durham area. The funds seem to be as much an answer to other schools’ offers of similar packages—basically, an attempt to lure top students to Duke. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The summer funds will be distributed on a competitive basis by as-yet undetermined criteria. Eventually, the school should try to work toward offering this kind of money to all of these graduate students. The money is wisely targeted at social sciences and humanities scholars, who have a much more difficult time attracting money from donors and foundations because the results of their work are less tangible. But there is no reason to believe that this money will increase graduate students’ productivity in the summers without help elsewhere. In other words, it is important that graduate advisers allow their students free time during the summers to focus on their projects. This money will allow students to stay in Durham over the summer, and they should be focusing on their own work over that of their adviser. No matter what, the way in which this program is being financed is disturbing. Duke has an infamous history of beginning projects before securing the money for them. The Levine Science Research Center is the most recent debacle, but Blackwell and Randolph dormitories share something of this history. In the midst of the wildly successful Campaign for Duke, this might not have seemed so risky, but the Graduate School has had historical difficulty attracting donations, and the economy is beginning to turn a bit sour. Furthermore, this tactic—going into projected debt—could be used as away to secure future campaign funds that have not been received or earmarked. In other words, schools or divisions could commit to programs and debt and, in doing so, force Duke to allocate its future campaign funds to them to keep Duke out of debt. As a result, administrators and campaign workers should diligently fundraise for this cause and should steer others away from going into projected debt for programs, no matter how noble.

Administration did not pressure FOCUS faculty A front-page article in the Feb. 15 Chronicle and a Feb. 16 editorial seem to me to be trying to turn what was at worst a minor gaffe into a major scandal. As a FOCUS director, I was invited to the development meetings, but did not attend because none was compatible with my schedule Nevertheless, I can assure you that, contrary to the headline “Duke pressures faculty FOCUS to fundraise,” there was no pressure and faculty were for referenced
not asked to do fundraising. It does not seem unreasonable to ask professors on a strictly voluntary basis to provide their sense of which students seemed to have benefited most from the program and responded to it in the most positive ways. This controversy should not obscure the fact that faculty have a stake in development activity. A program like FOCUS is the creation of faculty, and we know both how badly it needs funds for
enrichment and what those
funds can best be used for. We need to be vigilant in seeing that the University’s fundraising efforts are directed toward projects that will benefit its educational mission, and we have every reason to be strong advocates for our programs with development, with the administration and with
potential donors. Peter Burian Professor, Classical Studies The writer is chair of the

Facing feminism The struggle to define feminism plagues an actress who performed in The Vagina Monologues Namibia, during my semester abroad. It
On the brink Eva Dußuisson I have been thinking a lot over the last few years about what it means to be a woman today. Two recent events prompted me to write about it: my part in the Duke Women’s Center production of The Vagina Monologues last week and a conversation I had with Alisa Nave, a senior who is working on a documentary on Faces of Feminism at Duke. Alisa asked if I would like to submit my thoughts on my own brand of feminism for her project. Her project has been going on for months, and I have never made a move to contribute —because I have never, in my 21 years, claimed to be a feminist. As the deadline approaches, however, I have decided it is time I faced up to my qualms about the word “feminist” and made my choice. My uncertain feminist status may come as a surprise to some who know me—especially my fellow Vagina Monologues cast members. Our performance Feb. 14 to a sold-out crowd in Page Auditorium was actually my fourth performance of the play. The Vagina Monologues is a collection of monologues by playwright Eve Ensler, based on her interviews with hundreds of women about their complex and often painful relationships with their vaginas. The play contains material that is shocking to most and offensive to some—as it must, given the amount of myth, secrecy and shame surrounding women’s sexual lives. The first time I saw the play, I was in a tiny community theater in Windhoek,
For those of you who have been working on so-called “useful” skills in college and plan to get so-called “jobs” after graduation, I’ll fill you in on the lingo. Postmodernity is what came after modernity, and it means whatever you want it to mean. Seriously. For some, feminism means the desire for equality; for some, a release from socially constructed gender roles; for some, the strange and shocking to most people. opportunity to achieve unhindered by When I see the expression on people’s gender; for some, freedom from sexual faces when I first tell them the name of violence and exploitation; and the list the play, I am perhaps as startled as they. goes on. We postmodern feminists—we Am I doing something... radical? Surely want it all. We aren’t sure we believe in not—not me! any of it, but we want it all the same. I felt pretty radical when I had to tell Most of all, we want to be able to my parents what I’ve been doing with believe in ourselves and fight for our my time—which was hard to do without ideals without being tied to a certain def-
was the first performance of The Vagina Monologues in Namibia and, I’d wager, the last. As I sat in the back of the theater, I was amazed at the audacity. Two years later, after two performances at Duke and one at North Carolina State University, it is easy to forget that the use of the word “vagina”—much less the way in which it is used—might seem
using the word ‘Vagina” and talking about things we don’t normally talk about in my family (much less on stage). They decided, as my mother put it, to “support me from afar” on this one. The truth is, when I think about it now, I probably would have been a bit embarrassed for them to watch it. While I do believe everyone should see the play and engage in the thought process it is sure to spark, even I am uncomfortable with some of the more graphically sexual—or angry—material. I may be sexually liberated, after all, but a feminist? A hard-
inition of “feminist” or “nonfeminist.” We don’t want to be seen as inconsistent if we go to pro-choice rallies and want to stay home and raise our children, or want to be CEOs and wear tight clothes
when we go out at night. I don’t much care whether I am labeled a “feminist” or not. I just want a world more friendly and open, not just to women like me, but to women who are not like me—which is every woman. I suppose that, ultimately, we are feminists, in that we are fighting for the freedom to define ourselves and our place in society, against pre-set definitions from all sides. So if you want to call me a feminist, that’s alright with me. But if you want a definition, perhaps you ought to look at the faces of the over 1,200 people who streamed out of Page Auditorium on Valentine’s Day, their individual discussions about what they had just seen creating a roar that could be heard across West Campus. No definition could encompass all those people, from all sides of the Duke and Durham community. And that right there was the new face of feminism. Eva Dußuisson is a Trinity senior.
core, patriarchy-hating, no-bra-wearing, grrrl-loving feminist? Not me.
But if not that, then what? How do my friends and I fit into this discussion—girls who have embraced some gender roles and ignored others, intellectuals and achievers and incorrigible flirts who can’t even figure out what feminism means anymore, and aren’t particularly worried about it? My women’s studies class would say we are postmodern feminists, I suppose.
Sometimes PR makes you chicken Memories of moderation Jonas Blank I was having one ofthose days that almost make me sorry to be a college journalist. I’d wrapped up editing Recess the night before after myriad delays, layout problems and computer crashes. My nerves were frayed, my cigarettes were smoked and I went home from the office with a lot on my mind. I hit the sack at something like 5 a.m., comforted by the fact that my Fridays usually don’t start before 2:45 p.m. I foresaw at least eight hours’ sleep ahead of me. So when the phone rang at 10 that morning, I didn’t even pretend to pleasantries The caller—who had never actually read Recess—went on to excoriate me for not covering an event. It was my fault, but I didn’t like hearing about it the way I did, woken up in my home by someone who had never read our work. I gave some curt replies, hung up the phone and wrote the caller an infuriated e-mail. I couldn’t get
back to sleep. So when I got to the office that afternoon, I wasn’t in a very good mood. But that all changed when I got the call. The peppy public relations girl on the other line had an offer: Monday morning, I would be flown to Atlanta, where I would view the upcoming Adam Sandler flick, Little Nicky. Afterward, I and my fellow college entertainment journalists would be regaled with a lunch at the Ritz-Carlton, followed by an hour or so of Q&A with Sandler himself. All I had to do was write up the movie.
Monday’s flight was uneventful. My N.C. State counterpart and the editor of The Daily Tar Heel (I wonder where their journalistic priorities lie), were also on my plane, so we got ushered through the airport together. They packed us into a van, and we were off to the movies. Little Nicky turned out to be the most god-awful movie I’d ever seen. Its insipid slapstick was childish, uninspired and tasteless—and most importantly, not funny. Although the lunch afterward was in the RitzCarlton, it didn’t quite hold up to its billing as “lunch at the Ritz,” since what we got were buckets of Popeye’s chicken served buffet-style. Still, it was free— I could hardly complain. The question and answer session that followed would probably be a good time to ask Sandler about his horrible movie and why he made it. Perhaps that’s why I was a bit disconcerted when an early question—from the Tar Heel editor, no less—started out, “Hey man, I’m a huge fan, and I was just wondering....” Little better was the Prada girl from Emory, who said: “Adam, everyone in my dorm is a huge fan. We wanna know: What’s your favorite character that you’ve played?” Entertainment journalism is different than hard news. Most of us are consumers of pop culture, with favorite bands, movies and TV shows—we’re just exposed to more of them. We are journalists, but we are fans, too. Still, as Adam kept knocking the torrent of softball questions out of the proverbial ballpark, I took a hard look at what was going down. We clearly weren’t there to ask the man why he had made such an abysmal movie, or even to see if mmol’s about his move into “serious acting” were true. We were there to perform professional fellatio. Because we were hosted by a PR firm, we were, apparently, expected to write PR—not journalism—for its client’s direct benefit. As one of my colleagues said on
the way home, “Come on, they flew us all the way down here. We’ve got to write him a nice review.” I didn’t return the firm’s calls for my clip—l didn’t think they needed an “F” review to add to Sandler’s archives. But I thought about what it means to be a journalist often caught in clearly asymmetrical subject/writer relationships. All that pomp and circumstance—especially the contact with a celebrity—had clearly changed some people’s outlook. Writers left saying that Little Nicky was a great movie, even though it wasn’t. Maybe that’s because we were dumb college kids who didn’t know better. I fear that maybe it wasn’t. It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things if reviewers are nicer to Adam Sandler than they should be. But what about other controlled PRAvriter interactions? How much influence do PR people have over writers’ relationships with politicians, candidates, CEOs—even university administrators? How often does hard news commit the same sins that some of us do in entertainment? I asked Adam why Little Nicky's schtick seemed so much like his last movie and when he was going to move on. I gave my readers my honest appraisal of his work. But I can’t promise other readers the same thing. The fact is, good journalism comes primarily from good journalists—people who take personal responsibility for their work. Editors can temper our mistakes and make suggestions, but they can’t keep us from being manipulated. What can you do? Watch us. Notice our inconsistencies. If you see a glowing review of a bad actor’s movie or read that Duke is always doing the right thing, question it. Good journalists don’t mind if you question their motives or relationships with their subjects. Because after all, you can never underestimate the influence of a bucket of chicken.

Some employees wary of dealings with ARAMARK � PRIVATIZATION from page I sine, baked goods and international food. While there is no guarantee that those services would be provided at Duke, Pietrantoni said, the vast resources of ARAMARK offers numerous possibilities to meet
specific Duke needs.
The traditional menu of the core campus eateries has been a significant problem for Dining Services. Pietrantoni said student dollars have been slowly drying up at cafeteria-style venues like The Great Hall and instead have been flooding more non-traditional eateries such as The Loop, Armadillo Grill and Garage Express. “I don’t think all the items are bad, but when you have it everyday, it gets boring,” freshman David Blocher said. “Pm a vegetarian and I’d like to see more options.” Some students said the menu is not the only reason why they do not visit The Great Hall. Sophomore Laura Downey said that the occasional long lines have deterred her from eating there. “I like the stirfry, but usually it’s crowded,” she said. “I don’t think the menu now is bad.” Although ARAMARK would create menus and provide training, oversight and management, employees will remain on the University’s payroll. ARAMARK will also renovate The Great Hall to meet its needs. “No one is going to lose their job. WeTe not going to hurt employees in pay,” Pietrantoni said. “We’re not going to hurt the union; we will continue to honor our commitments.”
The privatization possibility has met with mixed results from Dining Services employees. Some employees expressed frustration at the lack of details they have been given by Dining Services officials. “We haven’t been told too much or how it’s going to work,” said Clara Jones, executive board member of the Local 77 union and a Dining Services worker in The Great Hail. “I still don’t understand, and we can’t get a direct answer.” Others said they are not convinced that an outside company is needed to reverse The Great Hall’s declining sales. Many of the company’s dining options, including pizza, sandwiches and rotisserie chicken, have already been tried at Duke before. “We’ve had the Sbarro. We’ve had the Li’l Dino. We had the rotisserie chicken. We’ve probably already done everything they’re going to try,” said Georgia Terrell, a lead food service worker in the Great Hall. “I think they’re holding something back and they don’t want to tell us something.” Training, too, continues to be controversial among employees. Some employees said they would prefer to be trained internally by Duke officials. “Why can’t Duke create training for us? I don’t understand why they can’t,” said Terrell, who has worked at the University for 26 years. “I just think Duke doesn’t want to spend the money to train us.” Others said learning new skills would benefit them. “If the training betters the jobs and our skills and brings in more customers, then I’m for it,” said Thurman Walker, a food services worker in The Great Hall.

Nomar to sign deal keeping him in Boston for life By GORDON EDES The Boston Globe
FORT MYERS, Fla. It is not an issue of “if.” It is only a question of “when.” Nomar Garciaparra will sign a contract, perhaps by the end of spring training, that will ensure he plays his entire career for the Red Sox and places him in the same financial league as the two shortstops with whom he already shares the same plane of brilliance, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Garciaparra, who ducked his head into camp yesterday but isn’t talking until today, already has had discussions with the team about a long-term deal, one that should lock him up until the end of the decade, if not beyond. “All I can say is we want Nomar Garciaparra to play his entire career in Boston,” said Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette yesterday, on his first day in camp. It is something both sides want, and it is consistent with the way the Sox have approached Garciaparra since he was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1997. The following spring, Duquette rewarded Garciaparra with a precedentshattering, five-year contract that guaranteed the shortstop $23 million, with an additional two option years that made the entire deal worth $45.25 million. That was, and continues to be, the richest contract ever given a player with just one year of big-league service. No one else was close. Scott Rolen, the National League’s Rookie of the Year the same season, signed a four-year, $lO million deal. “We felt, based upon his athleticism and work ethic and history-making first season, that it would be in the team’s best interests to make a long-term deal with him,” Duquette said. It was a bold commitment by Duquette, and one proven to be remarkably astute. Under the terms of the deal, Garciaparra is to be paid $6.85 million this season, a fraction of the $18.5 million Jeter asked for in salary arbitration from the Yankees. Imagine, for a moment, what Garciaparra could have sought in arbitration after becoming the first right-handed hitter since Joe DiMaggio to win back-to-back American League batting titles.
Now, A-Rod has his 10-year, $252 million free agent deal from the Texas Rangers, and Jeter 10 days ago was given a 10-year, $lB9 million contract by the Yankees.
Garciaparra’s contract, meanwhile, calls for him to be paid $8.6 million next season, the last year of the original deal. The club already has exercised an option for 2003 that will pay him $10.5 million, and has until April 1 to trigger an $11.5 million option in 2004, the last year of the contract. The Sox could simply exercise the option and wait until a later date to address the future with Garciaparra,but they aren’t doing so. Duquette is talking with Garciaparra’s agent, Am Tellem, about a new deal that will keep Garciaparra in a Sox uniform for years to come. Duquette was almost as reluctant to discuss this subject because he has his own negotiations on a contract extension. “We have the option in place,” Duquette said of the Garciaparra contract. “If we’re going to address any extension of his contract, we could do that. There’s been a lot of speculation about that after A-Rod signed and Jeter signed. I’m sure we’ll have some time to address (an extension for Garciaparra). I’m not sure that time is right now. “The important thing for Red Sox fans to know is we have an additional option on Nomar’s contract that we will have an opportunity to address between now and
April 1.” But it will be good business for Duquette to address it now, just as it was for him to sign Pedro Martinez to a six-year, $75 million deal (with an option for a seventh year that makes the package worth $9O million), back when that set new standards for the industry in terms of average annual salary ($12.5 million) and
total value. At the time, some people mocked Duquette’s description of the deal as a “bargain.” “We thought that Pedro would get $l5 million as a free agent next year,” Duquette said at the time. The next winter, that is exactly what another free agent pitcher, Kevin Brown, got from the Dodgers. Martinez probably would have commanded even more.

We can’t do that. We’ve got to play hard for 40 minutes.” A three by Shumpert, his final one of the game, put Syracuse ahead 48-35 with 16:26 left and eclipsed the old mark he held with Dave Johnson.
