Keohane names med school dean By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

A nationally renowned cardiologist who can research, teach, treat patients and bleed Duke blue all at once—who could ask for more? That’s what University officials said yesterday when they announced the appointment of Dr. Sanders “Sandy” Williams, Medicine ’74, as the next dean of the medical school. “He accepts nothing other than excellence of him-

self and all the things he’s associated with. He has the vision, the drive, the understanding of where Duke needs to go,” said Dr. Ralph Snyderman, chancellor of health affairs and interim dean of the medical school. “He’s a loyal Duke- supporter.... He just belongs here. I’m very excited about him coming. He’s absolutely the right person for the job.” See WILLIAMS on page 18 �

Formal revisions to the alcohol pohcy are almost completely in line with recommendations released last month by a review committee. They include a general emphasis on holding living groups accountable for what takes place in their sections, notifying parents of alcohol abuse and allowing more administrative discretion in determining sanctions. “[We want to] reduce irresponsible and dangerous use of alcohol,” said Jim Clack, interim vice president for student affairs and chair of the Alcohol Task Force. “The safety and health of students is more important than their freedom to drink alcohol.” Clack echoed other members of the policy review committee, but some of the new revisions, which will take effect this fall, are likely to anger fraternity presidents. In particular, Duke will standardize its requirements for parties in commons rooms and at other venues. This provision includes mandating the presence of safety personnel at all parties. These officials—who could range from hired security officers to faculty members—will respond to disruptive behavior and enforce maximum occupancy limits in rooms, hallways, bathrooms and stairwells. Interfratemity Council President Chris Dieterich, a senior, called the

This is a move backwards, and I just don’t think that student groups have properly received the opportunity to

Under the new policy, each group sponsoring a social event must provide a party monitor to prevent alcohol violations, take care of drunk students and eliminate safety hazards.

Tennis confusion kicks off 8 teams’ ACC tourney play By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

ORLANDO, Fla. Two Duke teams kicked off their ACC tournaments yesterday in Orlando and six more teams prepared to do so today, while a minor incident saw tennis player Ramsey Smith break Duke’s career wins record, only to have the ACC recall the win in an officiating faux pas that would make the board of elections here flush with pride. Both lacrosse, golf and track and field teams begin their quests for the ACC championship today in various sports venues in and around Orlando. Unlike last season, all spring sports except rowing and baseball have gathered in central Florida for the ACC Springfest. The men’s and women’s golf teams will tee off this morning for the first of three rounds at Disney World golf courses, while the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams both face North Carolina in the semifinals; the women start at 3:30 p.m., and the men start at 8:30 p.m. Track and field will compete all day today and tomorrow. All eyes today will be on Jillian Schwartz in the pole vault

as most of the races, including the big relays come tomorrow. The men’s and women’s tennis teams both recorded shutouts yesterday at Lake Cane Tennis Center. Both were seeded No. 1 and both played against overmatched and underfunded Mary-

land teams. However, gmng into yesterday’s match against Maryland, Ramsey Smith had amassed 112 career wins, tying a school record. Another win would have secured the all-time record. But after winning the doubles point and three prior-singles matches, Duke had already notched the win over Maryland. Unless both competitors are ranked nationally, most individual matches simply end at that point, because there is no way for the losing team to mount a comeback. Smith won the first set 6-1 and was leading in the second 5-1 when ACC officials called the match 6-0 in Duke’s favor, including a 6-1,6-1 win for Smith. “I don’t know what to say about that, because I actually didn’t finish the match,” Smith said a few hours after the match. “I was going to [win, butl I See ACC on page 21

Drug companies support South Africa By RACHEL SWARNS

New York Times News Service

PRETORIA, South Africa Bowing to strong and ever-increasing public pressure, the world’s biggest drug companies dropped their attempt to prevent South Africa from carrying out a law allowing the government to import and produce cheaper antiAIDS drugs and other medicines. In a reversal that was greeted by resounding cheers from large crowds outside the courtroom, the drug companies said they acknowledged the right of poor countries to receive the best medicine deal they possibly could. The case, which was unconditionally withdrawn, had been initially brought before the Pretoria High

Court by the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Association of South Africa as well as 39 international drug companies AIDS activists hailed the case’s withdrawal as a victory for the 25 million people in Africa living with AIDS and HIV, which causes the disease. South Africa is thought to have more HIV positive people than any other country in the world. GlaxoSmithKline, the British drug company, called the result a victory for both sides. “The settlement meets the objectives of both the South African government and the pharmaceutical industry—but it is my fervent hope that the real winners here will be patients,” the chief executive, See SOUTH AFRICA on page 11 �

lifestyles

by Elizabeth Brown ~CKe (Zl\ron\c\e. SHARE. Its not an episode of Care Bears, nor is it a new campus cult armed with bubbly pamphleteers. But in their own way, the members of Student Housing for Academic and Residential Experimentation are spreading the love at Duke and going where no other living group has gone before. Founded in 1970, at a time when women and men were housed on separate campuses, SHARE was Duke’s first co-ed living arrangement. Administrators originally designed the group to give students more freedom to try out alternate lifestyles, and at the same time combat the anti-intellectualism thought to pervade the campus climate in those days. Thirty-one years later, the latter complaint sounds all too familiar. And the newest batch of SHARE guinea pigs, 24 total, is still relentless in the struggle

against intellectual apathy. “[SHARE] usually attracts the real ‘intelligentsia’ of Duke,” senior Keith Cascio said. “I would say that SHARE people are a little more serious about their pursuit of alternative lifestyle, the assertion of personal prerogative. They are usually really active politically on campus.... SHARE tends to be very accepting of alternative sexual orientations. It’s really a necessity on Duke campus because otherwise these types of people would feel completely disenfranchised.” Cascio pointed out that, like the students of many selective houses, SHARE members cannot be quickly characterized without compromising the true diversity of the group. “We’re sort of free spirits,” senior Michelle Kalas said. “[SHARE is] an outlet for our quirkiness.” In fact, SHARE’S pride in its individualism and quirkiness is not just bravado, and the mission statement is a testament to this fact. Few other living groups have recognized leadership positions for such dignitaries as the Lint Czar, the Moviemeister, or the GOOFY (Guerrilla Organized Offense For You).

From such nontraditional traditions to an ecofriendly garden plot to its distinctive co-ed apartments, SHARE is all about experimentation. “Next semester we’ll have five co-ed two-bedroom apartments out of 12,” sophomore and SHARE member Scott Selisker said. “We’re excited about doing the co-ed thing, so to speak.” SHARE’S experimental nature by no means makes it simply weird science, unless individuals are disconcerted by SHARE’S historic attempts to prod the sacred cow of conformity on campus. “It’s different from both the mainstream party houses and academically oriented houses,” said Selisker. “We’re more of a counterculturally themed house.” That same ethos dates back to SHARE’S 1970 inception. “Think of any crazy s-t that happened in the 70s and it happened ‘back in the day’ in SHARE... I’m guessing,” Selisker said. “As compared with the ‘old’ SHARE, I’d say our actions may be a little tamer, but our attitudes are not.” In addition to more formal activities, such as attending campus and local cultural events together, or hosting Plan V, the vegetarian dining option, SHARE’S social gatherings often feature a hookah, flavored to-

groups on campus.” Right now, Selisker and other members feel confident in SHARE’S relationship with administrators, and its chances for a bright future. “I don’t think we’re the people they worry about destroying furniture or having sorority-girl scandals or any of that,” Selisker joked.

bacco, movies or chill time on the porch. SHARE also has dinner with faculty members, dessert parties, as well as many unofficial gatherings where intellectual discussion is fostered. Although Satti Khanna, professor of the practice of Asian and African language and literature, has only been a SHARE faculty adviser for one year, he has known about the group for the past decade. He said he immediately accepted the group’s invitation to be a sponsor. “The essential medium of our life is living. It’s unusual that we can be around other students in classrooms and seminars without treating their humanity in a new way,” Khanna said. “I liked that SHARE... wanted to explore how to live together while entering deeply into world traditions of awareness and inquiry....

Academic Council OKs new theater department By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

A funny thing happened on the way to Thursday’s Academic Council meeting—faculty decided it was time to promote the Program in Drama to departmental status Following endorsements from drama professors, administrators and the Academic Priorities Committee, the council unanimously voted to establish a De-

partment of The- Peter Lange ater Studies, signifying an increased University commitment to the performing arts. “To create a Department of Theater Studies will help us adhere to a balance that we strove for really since the inception of drama at Duke, a balance between the study of theater as literature and the practice of theater as an art,” said program chair Richard Riddell, Semans professor of the practice of drama. The proposal will go before the Board of Trustees in May for final

approval. By moving to the department level, Riddell said, the program will move away from the “preprofessional conservatory” model of some other universities while still promoting the practice of drama. He added, however, that the pro-

gram already functions much like a department, with a more advanced curriculum and more faculty members than many of its peers. Drama currently has nine full-time and six part-time professors, as well as several professors with secondary appointments. Riddell said that, as a department, theater studies would immediately receive an additional fully tenured professor, and that the new status would make the University more competitive in attracting drama students and teachers. Riddell also expressed hope that the departmental status would eventually lead to a graduate program in theater studies. IN OTHER BUSINESS: The Academic Council unanimously endorsed the main themes, but not the specifics, of a recent review of the appointments, promotions and tenure process for faculty members. Among other things, the review calls for streamlining the three processes and increasing the faculty’s education on the subject. Provost Peter Lange noted some of the many complexities involved in the APT process, such as the occasional inability of a candidate’s colleagues to be objective. Lange emphasized the need to codify an unwritten policy of the APT Committee that cases deliberated by the committee cannot be considered twice. “It’s silly to have a policy that’s not See COUNCIL on page 17 1*

Early matriculation program readies for next class By KENNETH REINKER The Chronicle Keeping the emphasis on getting students adjusted to the academic and social challenges of college life, Duke’s early matriculation program will undergo several changes before its second run this summer. “At this point, the evaluation from last year is fairly good,” said Paula Gilbert, dean of summer sessions. “[But] certainly there are things we hope to do better this summer.” Gilbert’s office will now administer the program, which was originally controlled by the office ofRobert Thompson, dean of Trinity College. This year’s early matriculants—members of the class of 2005 who matriculate during the second sum-

mer session—will take two courses of their choosing. Last year, students were required to take Academic Writing 20, the freshman writing course, as one of thentwo classes. AW 20 is no longer required because many fear that it is too intensive for the short time frame. The early matriculation program is aimed at students who do not have any Advanced Placement or other pre-matriculation credits. Because 34 credits are required for graduation, students enrolling with fewer than two college credits are often forced to take an overload during one or more semesters. The program aims to alleviate this problem. “They have an opportunity to really experience

Duke, so when school begins, they are a couple of steps ahead of other student coming in August,” said Todd Adams, assistant dean of Student Development. Adams emphasized that early matriculation is not a

remedial program. Other changes target the program’s non-academic elements. Besides relocating the students to Edens Quadrangle from East Campus, the program will emphasize getting them involved in Duke life. This year, students will be introduced to key faculty and staff members and many of Duke’s facilities. Students will meet with their pre-major advisor and will visit the library and writing studio. Adams is also planning weekly dinners with the students. “Primarily we want them to get a jumpstart co-curricularly, and that would involve having a chance to become acclimatized to Duke’s campus, meet up with other students and form a community,” Adams said.

Last year, 30 spots were available, and 23 students chose to matriculate early. This year, 40 spots are available. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has already identified about 350 accepted students who may qualify for the program, and Gilbert believes that establishing early contacts with these students will encourage them to apply. Information will be sent to these students only after they accept Duke’s offer of

admission.

Because early matriculation is such a new program, it is still being evaluated. “[We want to] see if it has the kind of positive impact as we hope it would, in terms of easing their way to Duke,” Gilbert said. “I think we will know a lot more at the end of this summer.” The program will likely be evaluated yearly for the next three to four years, at which point deans will decide whether to continue with it.

Clack taps new alcohol specialist

Lookinain on life

at a Stake...

Latin dance class

ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

After searching for over a year, the University has finally found an alcohol specialist. Currently a staff psychologist at the University ofTexas at Austin, Jeff Kulley will join Counseling and Psychological Services this summer to focus on alcohol treatment and education.

Kulley said that although he cannot predict all the challenges he will face at Duke, he wants students to know he will be here to help. “I’m not coming there to preach that people should never drink or not have a good time while they’re in college,” Kulley said. “I think that too often, messages about drugs and alcohol end up sounding like ‘Just say no’ campaigns.” Kulley will replace Jeanine Atkinson, who left Duke to work at Vanderbilt University at the end of the 19992000 academic year. He will serve as a psychologist in CAPS, and will spend half his time addressing alcohol abuse at the University. Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack was excited about hiring Kulley. “The reason he was even coming this way was because his wife took a job at N.C. State [University], and he’d agreed to follow his wife,” Clack said. See KULLEY on page 18

Conference draws international black artists to Duke � Keynote speaker Stuart Hall kicked off “Shades of Black: Assembling the Eighties,” which continues this weekend with talks from several prominent artists and scholars. From staff reports Pre-eminent inteUectual Stuart Hall, one of the founders of British cultural studies, spoke to more than 100 people yesterday afternoon as he discussed what he called a “loose weave of themes and questions” relevant to the black British art movement in the 1980s. Hall’s keynote speech kicked off a weekend conference caUed “Shades of Black: Assembling the Eighties.” The symposium, an exploration of black British art, is the third in a series; the first two conferences were held in the United Kingdom. Organizers explained that these conferences will culminate in a documentary history of the artistic

movement. “Rather than have scholars write the history, we’re getting participants in the movement [to] write the history,” said Rob Sikorski, director of operations for the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies. Black British art, a category that encompasses artists ofcolor—not just black artists —is a movement that began in the 1950s and ’6os. The movement’s second wave came in the 1980s—a decade that Hall likened to the African-American artistic movement of the 19605. “Black people and cultures have been a [central] part ofAmerican society for many centuries—interior to it as well as excluded from it.... Britain managed slavery and colonialism at a distance,” he said. “The intrusion of a significant mass of colonial people directly into British life is a phenomenon of the postwar period.” The conference will continue throughout the

Relatives honor victims on bombing’s 6th anniversary By JENNIFER BROWN Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY Church bells chiming “Amazing Grace” ended 168 seconds of silence Thursday, one second for each of the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing exactly six years ago. Relatives of the victims gathered for prayer and reflection at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, where the Alfred R Murrah Building once was. There were no dignitaries or choirs this year, mainly just victims’ relatives and survivors of the 1995 blast. “It was just those who needed to be here today,” said Kathleen Treanor, whose in-laws and four-year-old daughter were killed in the Social Security Administration office inside the federal building. “It was very intimate. It was very personal.” Treanor wore a button with a picture

ofher daughter, Ashley Eckles, holding a chocolate bunny. “I still have an empty hole in my heart,” she said. “But I’ve learned how to cope with that.” Families had requested a low-key,

simple ceremony. Hundreds of people, including former president Bill Clinton, attended the fifth anniversary ceremony last year, when the memorial opened. Two months ago, President George W. Bush dedicated a museum on the memorial grounds. This year’s ceremony lasted just 25 minutes. “Your loved ones have not been forgotten and the memorial is a fitting tribute to assure that they never will be,” said Bob Johnson, chair of the Oklahoma City National Memorial Trust.

Families of the victims gathered under the “Survivor Tree,” an American elm that lived through the bombing. They bowed their heads during the period of silence. Family members joined in singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” then quietly walked away from the tree and toward the memorial’s statues of chairs, one for each of the victims, as the names of the dead were read aloud. Many clutched bouquets of flowers or stuffed animals, then placed them on their relatives’ chairs. Gilberto Martinez’s five children carried a wreath with his photograph inside. They planned to hang it on a chainlink fence at the memorial. Martinez, a church pastor, was helping a friend who couldn’t speak English obtain a Social Security card when the building exploded. Both died. Martinez’s youngest son Ivan, who is now six years old, was 9 days old. His oldest son, 15-year-old Brian, wants to watch the execution of convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh, which is scheduled for May 16 at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. “They say I’m too young,” Brian said. “I don’t think that’s fair.” About 285 people have said they want to view the execution. The Justice Department announced Thursday that it would be shown on a closed-circuit broadcast at a federal prison facility in Oklahoma City. Edye Stowe, whose sons Chase and Colton Smith died in the building’s daycare center, held her three-year-old son Glenn during the ceremony. Chase and Colton would be 10 and eight this year.

day at 16.41 feet at La Crosse but dropped to 16.24 feet by Thursday,

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis. Flooding on the swollen Mississippi River pushed downstream Thursday, inundating basements and streets as workers and residents rushed to shore up dikes and build sandbag levees. In Wisconsin, Gov. Scott McCallum called in the National Guard to help distribute 20,000 sandbags Thursday as emergency crews fought the rising river in Crawford County. “Our people that we’ve had out there sandbagging and trucking—they’re starting to get tired,” said county assistant emergency management director Gary Knickerbocker. “So, hopefully they’ll be able to get

Spaulding said. “The flood is by no means over, even though we reached this crest. We could get this rain and get a new crest—even higher,” Spaulding said. Amtrak said its passenger route between Chicago and Minneapolis remained closed by high water Thursday. Freight train traffic also was affected. The Mississippi River remained closed to barges and pleasure craft. Further upstream, in St. Paul, Minn., the Mississippi crested Thursday at 23.4 feet—almost 10 feet above flood stage—and was expected to begin a slow fall over the next two weeks, the National Weather Service said. In Davenport, lowa, the only major urban area on the upper Mississippi that lacks flood control structures, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has helped the city build a clay levee reinforced with plastic and sandbags to keep floodwaters out of the riverfront business district. The river was three feet above the 15-foot flood stage Thursday. The National Weather Service predicted a crest from 21.5 to 22.5 feet on Tuesday or Wednesday. The record was

Thursday at Prairie du Chien, flooding the business district, and was expected to crest Friday at 23.8 feet, National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Jones said. In 1965, the river topped out at a record 25.4 feet. From her front porch, Lois Puckett surveyed flooded Main Street. Water lapped against her front steps, and the two-story home was surrounded by water on three sides. More than 300 sandbags were holding back the flood. “I just hope it crests when they say it’s going to crest,” she said. People in La Crosse, about 60 miles north of Prairie du Chien, were bracing themselves for rain predicted Thursday night, according to A1 Spaulding, county emergency man-

agement director.

The Mississippi crested Wednes-

22.63 feet in 1993. Davenport Public Works Director Dee Bruemmer said if crest predictions remain near 22 feet, the city should avoid major damage. “The critical point is 22 feet. If we’re under that, we’ll be just fine,” Bruemmer said. “But, the river and Mother Nature is unpredictable.”

into the courtroom to celebrate what they saw as the imminent legal victory. They sang South Africa’s national anthem and punched their fists in the air. Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msigg said South Africa had not agreed to any deals over the law permitting cheaper imports, which has been passed but has not been put into effect. The drug companies also agreed to pay all the costs of the case. The companies were feeling pressure from a growing chorus of international critics who assailed the high prices of antiAIDS drugs, which are far too expensive for most Africans infected with the AIDS virus.

Smelly decision The president acted tactlessly in dropping the Kyoto treaty without offering an alternative

President

George W. Bush ran as a compassionate conservative. This brand of politician allegedly took a more moderate position on hard-line conservative issues. In his campaign, Bush pledged support for reducing carbon dioxide, mercury, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions. Bush pointed to Texas as an example of how mandatory regulations could be successful. Unfortunately, Bush’s handling ofthe Kyoto treaty—an international agreement to combat global warming—shows that his passion for the environment may only come in quadrennial swings. Negotiated in 1997, the Kyoto accord has faced significant opposition from the Senate, which must ratify the treaty if it is to become law. Senators have had serious reservations about the fairness ofthe treaty in its treatment of industrialized nations such as the United States, versus developing countries like China. In some ways, Bush’s rejection merely killed a bill that was already dead. The troubling part of the president’s action, however, lies in how unequivocally he abandoned the standards ofthe Kyoto proposal. Bush’s handling of the treaty has been anything but compassionate toward environmental concerns. Many Americans support clean air and other environmental standards —something Bush apparently noticed during his campaign. Instead of proposing an alternative to the treaty or seeking other input, he rejected it outright. This undiplomatic action has had the predictable consequences: American allies abroad are upset, as are many people at home. America is a large, prosperous nation that produces 25 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases. The luxury of being the only remaining superpower comes with a responsibility to maintain the world for all of its people to enjoy. Although the Kyoto standards could potentially harm U.S. industry, the standards also could have opened the window for American ingenuity. Americans have proven to be resourceful in almost any situation. Environmental standards could have provided the incentive for this creative spirit to maintain and improve the environment. If Bush truly believes in his campaign pledge, and Kyoto’s particular implementation was what troubled him, then he must step forward and reaffirm his commitment with action. The president must propose a plan that seriously attempts to reduce global pollution. He should seek input from the Senate leadership to find common ground. Pointing out the importance ofthe initiative to the business community and seeking their support for a real plan could also be beneficial. While the Kyoto treaty may have been bad in the eyes of the president, Bush should support international efforts to better the environment and pursue agreements to mediate environmental issues between nations. The Bush presidency is still in its infancy. Citizens are becoming accustomed to a new way of operating the White House. These citizens should not come to expect a president who goes back on his promises. Bush must step forward and demonstrate his support for improving the environment with action on this serious issue.

Letters to the Editor

Primate Center’s survival may depend upon support The Duke University Primate Center, which is the only place in the world dedicated to the study and conservation of prosimian primates, has come under review by the University. Students and supporters should know this means that there is a significant threat that the center could be shut down for good. If this fact is unsettling enough for you, then you will be even more surprised to know that, while the review board’s report is finished, its contents are being withheld. In contrast, most other review reports for University programs have already been made public. But this doesn’t mean that a decision regarding the fate of the center is made and done. There is still time for students, faculty and supporters

to make their voices heard. Please understand, though, that urgency is an issue ifyou want to support the center. That its report is being kept secret is just one of many ominous signs. Over the course of review, the board has expressed concern over the center’s costs (which are minuscule compared to other research initiatives at Duke), questioned the validity of the center’s

The United States acted wrongly by spying on China, no matter where the spying occurred. The spying effort was hostile and intrusive, and it infringed upon China’s confidentiality. China had sent planes to warn the

American spy planes, but the U.S. ignored China’s warning and continued to spy just

outside of China’s border. This is provocation. Let me use this analogy:

Technically anyone could walk just outside of my property and peep into my house, but of course I would not appreciate it. I would go out to ask the

peeper to leave. If he ignored my warning and continued to linger near my property I would become very irritated and my confrontation would escalate. Now the U.S. asks China to return the spy plane as it argues that the spy plane is its property and should be returned immediately, According Larry to Wrotzel in an interview published in the April 13 issue of The New York Times, the previous Bush administration, in the early ’9os, “refused to return [to China] 50 Chinese F-8 planes that were to have been equipped with radar to strengthen China’s defense against the Soviet Union.” The U.S. kept the planes for five years, and even charged China for storage fees and shipping costs.

The spy plane incident also spurs debate over arms sales to Taiwan. The United States claims that they sell arms to Taiwan to protect

the island from possible invasion. However, the Soviet Union used the same kind of argument to inhibit possible American invasion when it stationed missiles in Cuba, which resulted in strong protest from the United States and nearly sparked a nuclear war. Provocative and intru-

sive actions of America, namely, the arms sales to Taiwan and insistence on continued spy flights, will not maintain peace and stability in Asia. Cliff Chow Trinity ’O4

Programs show promise in combatting campus rape Since I have come to Duke, I have been pretty much appalled at the incidence of rape, especially acquaintance rape. I have come to see that this form of rape has become a problem across the country, but recently I was interested to discover a new campaign

that I think has tremendous potential. The organization Men Can Stop Rape is a new in organization the Washington, D.C. area that has focused its programs and workshops on educating men on how to deal with rape. It

has been found that women who experience rape tend to confide in their male friends. The program One in Four, a group that takes its name from the estimate ofthe num-

On the

ber of women who have been assaulted, tries to teach young men to empathize with women. The group believes that through educating men about the “cultural baggage” of masculinity that drives some men to violence and domineering behavior, some good may come out of it. I read about this new prothe through gram Washington Post’s April 16 issue and found that this new wave of workshops and programs has a lot of potential. Alan Berkowitz, a psychologist who formed one of the first all-male anti-rape programs, has said, “Sexual assault is often a product of the way men relate to each other... because they feel sex-

ual activity is seen favorably by other men.” Once the awareness ofhow this culture affects men, then through working with young men, we

can redefine masculinity in a different way and begin to dismantle rape. I especially feel that because of the strong

greek and fraternity life here at Duke, such a program could prove especially useful and educating. I hope my message and concern is not misconstrued in any way. I simply wanted to throw out this new program to readers and see what they thought about it for themselves. Melina Papadopoulos Trinity ’O4

Over this year's 28-issue history, we've tried to give you all kinds of entertainment information. But one thing we feel bad about is a pronounced lack of quizzes. If a few dumb quizzes can compel millions of women to buy rags like Cosmo and YM every week, they can surely bump up enthusiasm for Recess. Thankfully, this past semester's campus activism has inspired us to get off our smarmy bespectacled asses and start trying to affect change in meaningful ways, especially in our own operation. Inspired by the rhetorical abilities of one prominent

[OH Recess takes a closer look at this spring’s hottest games. By Eric Choy The year 2001 Is shaping up to be a big year for video games, with some of the hottest games and highly anticipated sequels in memory on the horizon. Later this year, three new systems will debut: Microsoft's XBox, Nintendo's Gamecube and the successor to the Gameboy the Gameboy Advance. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or a casual fan, there's something out there for everyone. Here's a sneak peek of what's coming soon to a system near you, and also what's hot now. □

Ever want t0 be a bouncer without having to worry about actually getting beaten up? Well, now AVBUBBIB:MOW you can. After your girlfriend gets captured by badass-looking ninjas in cybersuits, you and two fellow bouncers must rescue her from an evil corporation. Along the way, you'll fight thugs, robots and other baddies in subways, forests, train cars and even outer space. Replete with Matrix- style visuals, motion blur and breathtaking CGI, The Bouncer is arguably the most graphically impressive game on the PlayStation2 right now, and perhaps any system, for that matter. But when it comes to gameplay, The Bouncer is a different story. Rather than requiring skill and technique, the game ends up being a button mashing exercise. The Bouncer is also ridiculously short. If you skip all the movies and play through the actual game, you can probably finish it in an hour or two. Great show-off material for your friends, but a little disappointing given the hype.

Nintendo's successor to the popular (and still bestselling) Gameboy handheld system is just a few months away. Powered iy a 32-bit processor and color screen, the Advance has been selling out in its debut. Don't be surfew of these popping up on campus next semester. With a price tag of $99, its an affordable and portable alternative to high-end gaming, yet it's powerful enough not to be considered wimpy and simple. Games like BOjf hOUBHCB Tony Hawk Skateboarding and classic favorites like Street Fighter 2. Tetris and AVSIMIB: JIWB Mario Kart will likely be top sellers.

Set in medieval Japan, Onimusha is a Resident Evil style action-adventure game which pits a samurai warrior against hell itself. Violent and actionpacked, you battle demons and other monsters on the way to rescuing a fair princess. As you progress in the game, you'll have to solve puzzles and finish other challenges, and you can power up your

handy for torching those demons. Like other PS2 games, Onimusha has great visuals, including an unforgettable intro movie. Gameplay is solid, and overall the game is very polished. As with The Bouncer, however, gamers have complained that this game is too short. An average gamer will likely be able to beat it in 10 hours or less. Onimusha is not quite the epic it purports to be, but it's a great ride nonetheless.

The latest installment in this popular racing series is coming to the PS2, with promises of greater realism and breath-taking graphics. Expect hundreds of different cars to choose from, dozens of new tracks and tons of new features. The level of detail in Gran Turismo 3 is unparalleled, from the hood reflections during sunset to the dust flying underneath your tires on dirt roads. Highly anticipated—and rightly so —Gran Turismo 3 will be worth every penny. This game alone will sell tons of PS2's

Awards We laughed, we cried, we saw just about everything Duke theater had to offer. Here are our favorites. WE GOT A BLACK EYE FOR THIS DARKER FACE So we reviewed the Playas' Playground-winning The Darker Face of the Earth a week late. Sue us. One of our most difficult tasks here at Recess is writing about Duke theater productions. Not only are we writing about our peers and classmates, but often our friends as well. Such is the nature of Duke. But despite these difficulties this year, we still saw a lot of shows, full of youthful enthusiasm and energy. Though we single out our favorites here, wed like to offer our critical nod to

all the actors, directors and affiliates of Duke drama for all their hard work even if we sometimes have to diss the results.

—

Best Supporting Actor: Paul Downs, All In the Timing and The Changeling Downs' over-the-top comedy in Where's Gus' All In the Timing had audiences falling out of their chairs. His tongue-twisting gibberish in the segment "The Universal Language" was lively and appealing, and his turn as a Spanish gardener in "Variations" rose to the level of what reviewer Michael Klinger deemed "comedic brilliance." Downs' comedy also kept The Changeling afloat, as he played off of strong performances from Dideriksen and Barrison. Downs' flip-flops from sanity to insanity made for the play's most exciting and hilarious moments. Best Director: Dan Mallory, For Whom The Southern Belle Tolls and All In the Timing He may be film editor of Recess, but that titular distinction should not detract from the true merit of Mallory's fantastic boutique productions. Christopher

—The Recess Staff Best Drama: The Darker Face of the Earth Sure, our review came a week late, but this large-scale rendition of Rita Dove's retelling of the Oedipus myth demonstrated the best use of the Duke Playas' resources. Director Jeff Storer and set designer Jan Chambers set the Durang'sTennesee Williams parody turned to gold under Mallory's leadertone for a drama whose verse flowed like true poetry and whose music captivated the soul of its audience.

Honorable Mentions: Best Actress: Caroline Kessler, Top Girls and Julie Foh, The So many people put in fine contributions this year, it seems Darker Face of the Earth unfair to delve into honorable mentions. Still, Julie Fob's In a generally strong ensemble cast, Kessler stood out in ambitious direction of Tommy, which took Hoof N' Horn into Brown & Green's rendition of feminine friendship.

Duke

may be a long way from N.Y.C., but Apollo Night 2001 promises to replicate one of the city's coolest talent shows this Saturday. Combining beatboxing, rapping, dancing and singing on one stage, this Apollo Night also features a performance by celebrity guest Rah Digga, the female MC of Busta Rhymes' Flip Mode Squad. Emulating the format of the popular TV talent show It's Showtime At the Apollo!, where amateur acts take the stage and the audience plays the judge, this show could be Duke's hippest and most energetic concert of the year. Organized by the Black Student Alliance, this event is a followup to the less-hyped but still successful 1998 Apollo Night, where the sizable audience proved unafraid to give its opinion. In fact, the winning group of that show was later invited to appear on the "real" Apollo TV show. We aren't talking Star Search here—we're talking real Duke students with real talent. Each act already had to pass an audition held earlier this semester, and since then, they have been rehearsing vigorously. Unless they enjoy the embarrassment of being booed offstage, anyone performing at Apollo Night has to make sure they are damn good. The TV version has been known at times to be especially brutal to poor performances, and Duke's 1998 audience showed some attitude as well. Whether any

such audience brutality will occur in Page is up to the discretion of those in attendance, Regardless of the audience dynamics and the strength of the amateurs, Apollo Night 2001 is expected to house a sold-out crowd. According to Eve Bower, chair of the BSA Programming Committee, "We're expecting it to be a big social event much like that of a step show." For those who have never been to one, that means a lot of audience enthusiasm—and a lot of fun. In addition to the Duke student performances, Apollo Night will also feature hip-hop favorite Rah Digga. As a prominent female MC and the only woman in Flip Mode Squad, organizers knew that Rah Digga would not only be an amazing performer, but would also draw big with the college crowd. Fler debut album, Dirty Harriet, has been praised as a work that transcends the pressures of the male-dominated hip-hop music world. And if that's not enough, her opening act will be the Indiana based G.I.N. Kru. Flosting the show will be Boogie D and DJ Polo of Greensboro hip-hop station 102 Jamz. Afterward, students can stop by the National Panhellenic Council-sponsored after-party at the Devil's Den. BSA plans to donate 40 percent of Apollo Night's profits to the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are available at the door and at Page Box Office. □

Apollo Night 2001 brings Rah Digga and a whole lot of amateur Duke talent to Page Auditorium this Saturday.

produced, but were staged readings. Actors were still holding scripts and sitting on benches or in chairs while acting, and stage directions were still being read out loud. Whatever their final products look like, I encountered these New Works in their awkward phase. Still, these workshops are open to the public, so they must be reviewed as they are. After a few rough minutes as they adjusted to the unsettling prospect of performing and viewing incomplete works, the actors and audience seemed at home with the idea. In fact, each play—even though they are continuously being refined—left the audience begging for a full production. quite ready aren't for full GIVING IT A GO: That's Talya Klein (right), director of Wall/Flower. The New Works The first piece, production, but they're worthy pieces.

Wilson's playwriting class presented three dramatic works-in-progress as a part of the annual New Works Festival. The fledgling plays were not fully

Caroline Kessler's Stillness and Flutters, dramatizes a man named Jim's videotaping of his suicide note after his daughter has been raped and murdered. Kessler's script captures the man's pain and confusion, and actor John Holden helped bring Jim to life. The outrageous characters of Map Girl made it the most humorous of all the performances. The play is about six college freshmen, each with their own unusual quirks. From the girl whose hobby is drawing maps to the frat boy pledge, the play is a laugh riot. The final and longest piece, Wall/Flower by Talya Klein, was the best developed of the three. Caroline Kessler played the lead role of Olivia, and it was evident why she deserved this year's Playground Award for Best Actress. Starting as an insecure 24-year-old woman in New York, Olivia finds herself in the end, and allows herself to enjoy the true love she deserves. Kessler, even with a bit of polishing left to be done, inhabited the role with grace. It was truly a treat to see such fresh new theatre come to life in Branson Theatre. Next Tuesday, the second half of the class will present their works in Branson at 7;30 p.m., offering those who missed this week's opportunity to see more fresh new drama. —By Cary Hughes

the best of We had 28 issues, hundreds of s entertainment. Here a

BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS: We pointed out that the back of fine Durham restaurant Cafe Momo—which is in a converted McDonald's—couldn't hide its inauspicious origins. They bitched us out and pulled their advertising—for about a week, that is.

Most Bizarre Artistic inspiration: In an interview with Greg Bloom, screenwriter Stephen Gaghan explained his inspiration for the movie Traffic: "Stuff just pops in your head. 1 had researched for like a year and read like 50 books, and one morning in my beach house in Malibu, at 10:30 in the morning I just sat up in bed and there was this voice in my head, and it just said 'Duck salad? You never eat duck salad.'" The Gagmeister must've ingested something stronger than duck salad when he came up with that line.

Bizarre Associations of Hip-Hop Lingo With Old White Men: Our headline for a review of Tom Wolfe's Hooking Up: "He's Got the Hookup" For an interview with Dean of the Chapel Will Willimon: "Big Willimon Style" Best Record We Couldn't Review: Agaetis Byrjun, from Icelandic band Sigur Ros. With all the buzz surrounding the damn thing, we’wanted to do a piece about it. Unfortunately, you could only get it as an import.

Most Misleading Lead: Of Joan of Arc's album The Gap, Robert Kelley said "This is the sort of pretentious shite that makes people hate art rock." He then went on to give the album an A. Dan's New Math: In his review of Monkeybone, Dan Mallory didn't just tear the thing apart Recess' most intellectual editor did more: "Trying, for utter lack of anything better to do, to codify Monkeybone as an equation, I deduce a fearsome formula including such variables as Cool World, Beetlejuice, Jumanjl and Jim Carrey's recent Grinch. I have invented a new math long derision." —

Trashing Music Other People Like: We've given several popular bands some hell this year. Sure, people like them, but that doesn't mean their most recent work didn't suck. Highlights included Dave Matthews Band, Barenaked Ladies, Aerosmith, Ani DiFranco and U2. Oh, and Puff Daddy, if anyone still likes that worthless shitebag. Most Irrational Metaphor: In his Sandbox item comparing the two Nellys —the rapper and the adult contemporary star —Martin Barna offered this: "They may be as disparate as a hammer and a biscuit, but these two goofballs have a penchant for pain."

IT AINT NO COINCIDENCE: In our October 6 issue, we captioned a photo of the Leftover Salmon guitar player above by saying: "You've gotta hope this guy is better at playing guitar than he is at taking baths." Given the name of the band's recent tour—and the posters advertising it—we've got to think the Salmon took

Most Savvy Metaphor: Faran, on Ani DiFranco: "Ani uses her five 'funky' chords the way Papa John uses tomato sauce they're everywhere, and they saturate so much of the material that everything starts to taste the same." —

Angriest Reader: Duke law student Thomas Griffin, who attacked Robert for his Aerosmith review; "..just reading this makes me wonder whether you have issues with your father—perhaps he beat you with his Rottweiller dog leash while moonwalking around the living room listening to (you guessed it) "Walk this Way" really loud." No wonder Rob is caught in what Griffin called a "deconstructionist funk." Best Rap Lyrics: Among many lyrical gems unearthed by Beth in her piece on hip-hop's Smut Peddlers: "Hanging on my balls /teabaggin' like Tetley" and "out of work / like JFK Jr.'s flight instructor." Word. Most Pain-Inducing Centerspread: Jonas and Martin Barna's gut-busting trip to Wake Forest University, where the pair ate at every single ARAMARK-run on-campus eatery. After consuming 20-plus plates of the company's swill, Jonas wrote: "ARAMARK's audience is, well, dudes. Ones who eat—and eat and eat and eat —anything, that is." Most Pointless Interview: We talked to Chalkman, the guy who wrote vague anarchist messages all over the Bryan Center walkway. We shouldn't have.

Best Film HeadlineWe Couldn't Run: For Snatch: "Soggy Snatch." Pessin vetoed it.

our words to heart.

Damn, we’re mean ries, and a whole lot to say about some of the memories. Dropping the "F" Bomb: We've given several things the notorious grade of F this year. They were: the movies Lost Souls and Little Nicky, albums from Dave Matthews Band and Aerosmith —and Cool Water cologne, by Davidoff. Of Cool Water, freshman Trends writer Whitney Beckett said: "Leave it for p-froshes." Weird Web Shit: Among the unusual web sites we've covered: www.mulletsgalore.com, a site about people with mullets; www.askjesus.com, a search engine with answers provided by Jesus; www.cat-scan.com, which shows pics of cats smushed onto scanners; www.nakednews.com, which shows news delivered by naked women; and www.planetstarj siege.com/allyourbase, which features the .jl infamous "Ail Your Base Are Belong To Us" song v

Most Overblown Prediction: Robert Kelley, on Chapel Hill's Kingsbury Manx; "They're the next / b'9 thing." We're still waiting. i Eric's Free Shit: Among the many products that our tech editor, Eric, has received t|| this year for free: a Sega Dreamcast, over 12 PlayStation2 games, three PDAs, four MP3 m players, a pair of shoes, WindowsMe, two DVDs and a Motorola Talkabout. We get free records and movie tickets all the time, but Eric's whopping $4,000+ worth of free equipage takes the cake. “

mg he's ugly, just

Two of these make sense without their stories.Two don't; "Guglhupf!" "Screw U2 See Spot Suck “Chicks With Dixie" “

Was That A Question?: Talking to DJ Dieselboy, Dion Warrick asked: "I would never expect the Pittsburgh scene to be cool." The Faranator: Trends Editor Faran Krentcil could always be counted on for random but usually entertaining ideas. We let her do a story questioning the sexual orientation of favorite cartoon characters, let her suggest buying lingerie for Valentine's Day in the Lobby Shop and even gave her ample space to rip on Kate Spade. But you should have seen the stories we didn't let her get away with.... The janitor from Vogue, talking about "sexy fashions conceived by poor people." A kid in her Spanish class whose, like, Dad is really, really famous. Proclaiming a new "cool Duke bag" by profiling a Wal-Mart product in Recess. Interviewing drunk freshman kids at parties about "why sororities are evil." Best Early '9os Reference: Yng, on the new dressed-down office lo iok called "corporate casual"; "As for all those old suits? Stick them in the closet with the should er-padded shirts and the MC-Hammer pants." Our Favorite Words: Jonas; "Mastermind" Rob: "Nietzschean" Beth: "Player" Dan: "Finely-limned" Greg; "Badass" Alexandra: "Wonderfully" Cary: "Very" Eric: "Cool" Tim; Any form of alliteration Fa ran: "Totally" Yng; "Balanced" Amy; "Outline-shadow"

The Recess crew is often accused of being especially harsh with its reviews. After seeing the "GPAs" for our music and film sections, we've gotta say, we're proud of ourselves. Unlike Duke, Recess doesn't believe in an A- for effort. Some highlights; Dan, on Will Smith's character in The Legend of Bagger Vance: "The caddy is a sanctimonious twerp, a manifestation of the synthetic spirituality championed by Chicken Soup for the Soul and Michael Clarke Duncan in The Green Mile" Jonas, on Little Nicky: "Little Nicky... is as brutally painful as having a pineapple shoved up your ass." Robert, on Jega's Geometry. "Anyone who's uncomfortable with the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality might be ill at ease with Jega's transient random-noise bursts." Jonas, on the Cody Cods: "They sound worse than a fistfight in the toolshed between an angry Rottweiler and your drunk uncle on two pints of everclear." Dan, on Antitrust "In case Phillippe's character is not instantly identifiable as a nerd, the filmmakers have helpfully named him Milo, which is one step below Fee-Wee and Skip on the ladder of stoic nomenclature" Kelly, on Everclear: "On Songs From An American Movie, Everclear does to Van Morrison what Madonna did to Don McLean; take a classic tune and gloss it up till it shines like a big old wad o' slobber." Dan, on Lost Souls: "For all the Satanic emissaries and possessed psychopaths who parade through Lost Souls, the movie's title, I suspect, refers to those unfortunate moviegoers who wander into the multiplex seeking thrills or entertainment or even coherence..." Jonas, on Limp Bizkit: "He may have slept with Christina Aguilera, but Durst's insipid approach is 100 percent dickless." Dan, on Scary Movie: "This sloppy, obvious, almost entirely witless farce instead fancies itself an American Pie with more filling, but when a movie recycles gags from Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo, it's hardly fresh-baked goods." Tim, on the Spice Girls' Forever. "Like musical herpes, the Spice Girls keep on coming." Greg, on Bedazzled "Time to open up the gates of movie hell and boot Bedazzled to the unholy level of piss-poor screwball comedy." Jonas, on Barenaked Ladies' Maroon: "Canada's perennial goof-rock dorks drop another sack of shit on the American public." :

Robert Kelley's tenure as music editor is over. Gone will be his lovingly crafted missives about obscure bands that may may not ever hit mass consciousness. Gone, too, will be h Impeccable music taste (though he's got an able rep!acem< But before Robert rides off into the sunset, here are his W favorite music events of the Recess year. 1. Sigur R6s Agaetis Byrjun These Icelandic descendants of Thor throw down a lightnin* bolt of musical ecstacy in the form of Agaetis Byrjun, whid is still only available on import. Above the soaring instrumentation sings an androgynous ice-god whose words mean nothing but still manage to communicate better than other album this year. 2. Outkast Stankonia Besides giving us the single of the year, Stankonia also inject mainstream hip-hop with some much-needed creativity. It might not be the easiest listen, but its importance will grow with time. 3. Smog Dongs of Sevotion You've never heard of Smog, but you really should. It's one guy with a messed up brain, a deep baritone and tunes that make the neon sign of Americana flash with the same vitality of a cutting edge discotheque strobe light. 4. Butchies 3 (and all their local concerts) For the final time this year, I am going to trumpet the talents c Durham's Butchies. Their new album, 3, already has critics call ing it their best ever, and their live act rocks like a rock act should. Rock as charged as this and a voice as sweet as Kai should be enough to transcend any boundaries. 5. Radiohead Kid A The latest offering from the 'Head dwarfs most other records, but Kid A falls short of The Bends and OK Computer. Hopefully, this summer's Amnesiac will find them recognizing their limitations and ridding themselves of the bloated sound that killed bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. 6. Super Furry Animals MWNG The only record to receive an A-plus in this volume of Reces: MWNG stripped the Super Furry Animals of their electronic sound to leave only the lush elements of Welsh folk. Sung completely in Welsh, it proves that the trend against lyricisr has taken hold in art rock. 7. Daft Punk Discovery If you want to throw a party, play Discovery. They may be intelligent and savvy and ironic, but Daft Punk sure know how to make a crowd move. Oh, and they died and becam two robots. Don't ask. 8. Erykah Badu Mama's Gun Ms. Badu didn't try to stray too far from the formula that worked for her stellar debut, but Mama's Gun is a collectioi songs that sound good when you're waking up, when you'i working hard or when you're unwinding. 9. Flaming Lips Cat's Cradle, October 2000 They had fake blood, confetti and adults running around the crowd in bunny suits. And they're from Oklahoma City. Rumor has it they're working on a movie, but this outrageous concert had everyone in attendance wondering how they could possibly top last year's The Soft Bulletin. 10. (tie) Stephen Malkmus Stephen Malkmus Los Amigos Invisibles 3000:A Venezuelan Journey into Space These two albums resemble each other in no way at all, but work so well in tandem. Malkmus' solo debut exhibits his prodigious vocabulary, and Los Amigos' sophomore effort displays the group's love of any kind of beat. A great rock album and a groovy dance album. A perfect tag team. -

We've got another music editor named Kelly coming In next year—'cVicker, of first semester associate music editor fame. From her her study abroad program in sunny Los Angeles, here are the faves of next year's music mastermind. 1. Gorillaz Gorillaz it's not out yet, but you'll thank me later. A conceptual collaborate featuring work from Damon Albarn of Blur, DelTha Funkee omosapien, Kid Koala and Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori, they are the t virtual hip-hop group in the history of the universe. Although mans are obviously lurking behind the recordings, the band memthemselves exist only in cartoon form. Take that, Josie. The Drive In Relationship of Command jining screaming guitar riffs with cryptic lyrics about alienation from society and oppression, this five-member band churns out hauntmelodies that deliver their message with stark emotion. Their ngs are catchy in that violent, post-grunge sort of way, and they light make you want to break shit. Daft Punk Discovery band who can successfully change from humans to robots midcareer automatically earn a spot on my list. This CD is electronica at its simplest, most celebratory form—nothing heavy, just incredibly head-invasive dance music, especially if you happen to be a robot. 4. Bjork Selmasongs: Music from Dancer in the Dark The empress of Iceland impresses us with music from one of /ear's best films. Able to go from guttural grunts to soaring exclamaf glee in sheer seconds, her voice is almost scary, especially when wails while wearing a dead swan, en White Pepper Okay, so this CD was actually released last summer, but since nobody seems to recognize the inherent beauty in songs about dying ponies, coke fiends and groupies named Randy, I gotta include them anyway. Proof of their lyrical genius: "She was almost in a coma / from doing the Bossa Nova / and the Funky Cold Medina Man, I wish you coulda seen her." Just like I tell my roommate every me he bitches about my weekly Weenathons: You have to be willing suspend all your beliefs about what makes good music in order to »reciate Ween. 2 All that You Can't Leave Behind if you've never been a fan of Bono and his egotistical rants, this album deserves your love. Because if a band you'd never heard of had ;ased this album, we'd all be kissing their asses more than a gaggle of irnalists at a Radiohead press interview. Radiohead Kid A K, so we all know Kid A is at the top of everyone's list this year. I'd be empted to exclude them in the interest of sparing you from the spewing of redundant praise, but the problem is, they really are as good as their hype, and we all know it. 8. Joy Zipper Joy Zipper This indie rock duo of real-life lovers Vinny Cafiso andTabitha Tinsdale released their self-titled debut album last fall. It is beautiul puppy-love poetry. Vinny andTabitha are the new Sonny and Cher, irious Artists Sounds Eclectic (KCRW Compilation) Consisting entirely of tracks recorded live at Santa Monica College's stain Los Angeles, Sounds Eclectic features songs from Beck, Badly Drawn Boy and Willie Nelson to name a few. The compilation goes from classical to country in that genreless, college radio kind of way. Put it on to impress your friends at your next NPR theme party. 10. Sigur Ros Agaetis Byrjun Pleased in the UK last fall, Agaetis Byrjun quickly garnered praise 'm almost everyone who got their Limey paws on it. :ortunately, no American could get it. Their label has set a May 1 release date, so Americans can soon rave about the ethereal :e-rock sound of this Icelandic quintet. No wonder the Brits are over these guys. ?

rget Five of these songs are totally forgettable. Five of them you can’t get out of your head—even if you wish you could.

By Beth lams

OUR IDEA OF HELL That's Creed. They love Jesus. We love to hate them.

has taken ali year, but I've finally come to terms with it: suck as a college music critic. I'm not out discovering new indie bands, picking up CDs at Radio Free Records or attending shows at Cat's Cradle. I admit it—I'm a mainstream music junkie. I listen to GlO5 in the shower and review the artists that practically everyone has already heard about. So, in coming out of the commercial pop closet, I present my "beet of" list—actually, the "worst of" —the worst pop singles of last year. And for extra kicks, the top five most annoyingly-catchy hits—the ones too übiquitous to avoid or get out of your head. WORST: 5. "Breathless" the Coirs Go on —please tell me you also hated this song. Too syrupy even for popfriendly ears. 4. "Gotta Tell You" Samantha Mumba Your basic, formulaic girl teen-pop tune —but her voice sounded like Britney getting her stomach pumped. Nails on a chalkboard, people. 3. "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" Nine Days (Sing to the tune of the chorus) This is the story of a song / whose title's random and way too long / and every time it plays on the radio /1 absolutely hate it—will not smile... 2. "I Did It" Dave Matthews Band Contrary to the prevailing sentiment at Recess, liked the Dave Matthews Band. Until this song. Did I think he went to far? Down the radio/sellout route? Definitely. 1. "With Arms Wide Open" Creed Memo to Creed: The year is 2001. The Seattle sound was a decade ago. It is no longer cool to sound like a hybrid of Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland and Chris Cornell. And the manufactured passion of violins and hard guitar chords may have worked for Damn Yankees, but that was a pop music mistake. A big, big mistake. MOST ANNOYINGLY CATCHY: 5. "He Loves U Not" Dream Let's be honest. This over-produced "Puffy goes Pop wonder was a song you loved to hate—until you couldn't get it out of your head. don t even care about the random guitar part in the middle —its all about the shower singability of the chorus. 4. "I'm Like A Bird" Nelly Furtado This year's Natalie Imbruglia whines with an Ani-esque warble, and yet, her voice is weird in a compelling kind of way. d bet the rest of my FLEX on one-

Bay City Creepers They may not be masters of short, catchy album titles, TakeBackthe Universe but with and Give Me Yesterday, Creeper Lagoon prove once again why the critics love them. By Faran Krentcil GRADE:

A-

Sometimes,

music you've never heard before can still sound like it's a part of you. The drums knock your heart, the melody surfs your blood and the lyrics are your thoughts set to rhyme. This is the main reason to love Creeper Lagoon's new CD, Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday, a steady pulse of electric enlightenment that's mellow and mad all at once. Creeper Lagoon, who took their name from a sketchy Ohio motel, start their 13-track set with some acoustic riffs that resurrect moments of The Who. They quickly skid into rolling rhythms garnished with a light techno-backbeat, and slide along from there.The band's funky, warped harmonies keep monotony to a minimum, and an exceptionally complicated bassline drives the music in sparkling spirals around acoustic chords, open and overflowing into the next movements. You can hear the sunshine splitting through this music; it's a sugar-high of slick pop with a solid structure. Take Back the Universe... isn't a guilty pleasure: It's good-for-you music, packed with healthy doses of rhythm and raw joy. For the image-conscious listener, the album is just new enough to be up-and-coming. Already critical darlings (SPIN lavished praise on their 1998 indie full-length, I Become Small and Go), Creeper Lagoon opened up for The Dandy Warhols this fall. After this album, they may be dandy enough to be headliners on their own. In the grand tradition of amazing track-threes (Dar Williams "Iowa" on Mortal City, Bob Dylan's "With God On Our Side" on Times, They Are a Changin'...)

this disc ups the ante with its third song, "Sunfair." A spinning bassline, shards of harmony and a subtly shifting melody make the song a winner. Also notable are "Naked Days," a neat little nod to power riffs, and "Cellophane," a rambling romp that goes in circles and makes its melody stop, drop and roll. "Here We Are," the final track, is a burst of juicy chords that announces the addictive staying power of the band. For those who missed their last three releases, here they are—again. ow based in San Francisco, Creeper Lagoon is comprised of Ohio :ives lan Sefchick on vocals and Sharky Laguana on lead guitar, ith Boston natives Geoffrey Chisholm plucking the bass and David .(istiner doing drums. A large part of the hype surrounding I Become Small and Go came from the band's fortuitous pairing with miracle producers The Dust Brothers (the wizards behind Beck's Odelay and the Fight Club soundtrack). Creeper are fond of saying they met the Brothers on a cruise ship —which is total hype. With a weak sense of humor like that, it's a good thing are such damn fine musicians. The band has already been compared to Beck, Pavement and the Beach Boys, and shows glimmers of the genius of all three. But children of the Care Bear generation know better—Creeper Lagoon is really glorified 'Bos glam smooshed in with some 70s grassroots guitar and a drop of the Gin Blossoms. They fully admit that they're a pop band, out to serve up pleasurable music. With Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday, they've done their job once again. □

He’s known for his roles in Caddyshack and other films, but now Chevy Chase is doing his jazz thing—and a Q&A session—at Duke. Chevy Chase "won't even give Time magazine" half an hour, so we at Recess felt privileged to get 17 minutes with the guy. He's starred on everything from Caddyshack to Saturday Night Live, but now Chase is doing something different—playing jazzpiano with the Duke Jazz Ensemble. The actor and comedian will be performing his debut concert this Monday in Page Auditorium. Associate Music Editor Beth lams got the lucky 17 minutes. Students are surprised to hear you're doing a jazz concert. [Jazz piano] has always been my great love, but it's been something I've done alone. It's sort of quietly been the background of everything else I've done. How did the idea for the concert at Duke occur? [Duke Jazz Studies Director] Paul Jeffrey heard me play once. I play by ear. I've never been trained —1 can't read or anything. He said he really liked me playing and could he arrange some songs for [collaboration with] his band. When did you start playing jazz piano? I grew up with sort of disparate lives —on one hand, I was in high school, prep school and college. [But] any time I had a chance, I was down in the Village listening to Bill Evans, Miles Davis, John Coltrane. I knew every one of them. And they all knew me. They knew me to be an 18-year-old kid who was a great fan. 1 became very good friends with Bill Evans, who was a «■’great jazz pianist. Listening to him and others made me get interested in piano.

I've always thought it was one of the oddest shows ever on television. And I'm one of the founders —the first head writer for the first year. I've always been interested in how it's played out. I don't subscribe to the prevalent theory that SNL was only great when me and John Belushi and Dan Akroyd and Gilda [Radner] —the legends—were on there, because I think it's not fair for those casts who've been on since. But I'd say we were pretty good. Are you excited to come to Duke? I'm looking very much forward to it—I hope I get to meet the [basketball] team.

FINALE CHALKING UP OSCARS: Hanks came up short for Cast Away, but he has more wins in his future,

Dan Mallory and Greg Bloom give their final take on the world of film this year.

After last year was so memorable—perhaps the best in decades this Recess season seemed a little anticlimactic. In fact, it pretty much sucked, and we didn't pretend to hide it. For our readers' sake, we hope we sat through more of the intolerable stuff than anyone else. After all, it's our job. Top ten lists tend to be boring. For your amusement, we've tried to condense the year into some unusual superlatives to help you better navigate the rental aisles. Better luck next year, Hollywood. Maybe then we won’t have to give you so many damn F's and D's. —

The (Haven't Got) It Girls: She's All That ingenue Rachael Leigh Cook featured prominently in Sylvester Stallone's would-be comeback vehicle Get Carter and MGM's aggressively promoted cyberflop AntiTrust. Tara Reid, aka the future Mrs. Carson Daly, was billed above the title in the hugely expensive time-travel bomb Just Visiting and Robert Altman's gyno-comedy Dr. T and the Women. And both of them foundered in Josie and the Pussycats, a franchise non-starter for Universal. We hear their next project is a quintuple-header: Trust Dr. T and Just Get Pussy. Snub of the Year: Mark Ruffalo, in the small delight You Can Count On Me. One of the most humane perforHE'LL CONTROL THE WORLD SOMEDAY: But not until Pay mances of the year, lost amidst alcoIt Forward's Haley Joel Osment stops doing bad movies. holic painters and men in breastplates Filmmakers: O Brother, Where Art Worst Movie from Talented Thou? —or, as I murmured to myself about 80 minutes in, "0 Christ on ice, what the f— is this?" Some time later, I'm able to answer myself: a smug, sick-souled, witless riff on The Odyssey. I have seen cartoons that better convey the human spirit. And I'm talking anime porn cartoons. Best Horror Film: Requiem For A Dream had no monsters, ghosts or smarmy teenagers. But Darren Aronofsky's drug opus was as garishly terrifying as anything out this year or any other. Hope Those Matrix Sequels are Underway: In 1999, Keanu uttered four words ("What is the Matrix?" or "I know kung fu") and found his professional life on a new lease. And what'd he do with it? Pigskin slapstick (The Replacements ), serial murder (The Watcher), domestic violence (The Gift) and maudlin romance (Sweet November). Looks like someone's trying to assert his heterosexuality again. Most Disappointing GO BOOBIES!: Some say Julia Roberts is the best actress in America right now. Revelation: Who murdered Katie Holmes in Others would say her Erin Brockovich success was all about the cleavage.

The Gift, the sinister Southern Gothic thriller from Sam Raimi? Well, there's the one we suspect from the get-go: Greg Kinnear. And the one we're ready to bank on at the 90-minute mark: Greg Kinnear. At last, the one who actually did it: ...uh, Greg Kinnear. The "Where Are They Now?" Award: Stephen Baldwin. No particular reason. Dimmest Hero: Oh, God, what a piss-poor year for stalwart leads. First Ben Chaplin couldn't decipher XES, the rune that haunted his dreams in Lost Souls (hint; It's "sex" spelled backwards). Then Brendan Fraser was forced to channel simian instincts while cracking many a jack-off joke in Monkeybone. And Julianne Moore's Clarice Starling ceded not only the title of Hannibal but also its action to the good doctor, spending three-fourths of the movie in her office. Paging Clint Eastwood, stat. Sawiest Casting: Brad Pitt in Snatch. Anyone who saw The Devil's Own knows that an Irish brogue is too much to ask of the pitted pretty boy, so Guy Ritchie craftily cast the Fight Club-bet as an incomprehensible Mancunian. New phenomenon; parts tailored to an actor's weaknesses. Least Savvy Casting: Brad Pitt in The Mexican. This impossibly weak performer hasn't headlined a bone fide hit since 1995's Seven ; even when paired with Julia Roberts at the Oscar-anointed apex of her career, the legend of several falls ago held The Mexican's gross below $7O million.

Biggest Asshole: For his surly, humorless Oscar-night demeanor; for flipping the bird to a Princeton student who snapped a photo of the actor in her quad (polite!); for citing as Meg Ryan's raison d'etre "round the clock sex"; and for foiling our kidnapping plot, we can only name Russell Crowe. Most Squandered Second (Third? Eighth?) Chance: After the bigbudget fiascos of Battlefield Earth and Lucky Numbers, a certain portly Tarantinite better start praying to Zoltar the Troll God or whatever those zany Scientologists believe in. Travolta's number is up—back, back to the washed-out rental shelf from whence you came! Nearest Miss: Unbreakable was the classic comic-book deconstruction that could have been if only the twist-happy M. Night Shyamalan had exercised the same restraint that so tightened and clarified the first nine-tenths of his film. The worst ending in recent memory. Most Loved/Least Worthy Award: A tie between America's sweethearts Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks! Aww! They should band together to do a movie—say, a romantic comedy in which a crotchety foreign landlady and a talking dog impede a reunion between two star-crossed lovers! And the stars could be on the run, Bird on a l/Wre-style, from a cranky Mafia boss played by either Jonathan Lipnicki or even Prince Adorable himself, Marlon Brando! Save some time and just give them the Oscar at its premiere. Least Loved/Most Worthy Award: We counted eight films featuring Michael Rapaport this year—too bad those titles, including Lucky Numbers and Ah-nuld's DNAction flick The 6th Day, were entirely forgettable. And even though this talented character actor stole his every scene, we'd take one good movie from him over all eight of these. Most Unforgivable Cinematic Offense and a Crime Against Humanity for Which Someone, Preferably a Cute Orphan Named Skippy, Should be Garrotted: Pay It Forward. Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment headline this heinous affront to audience taste and intelligence. In their most memorable work, all three have trod a deft line between sincerity and mush —but after this, can we ever take them that seriously again? Kevin, back in the shower to masturbate.□

Night Shyamalan had exercised the same restraint that so tightened and clarified the first nine-tenths of his film. The worst ending in recent memory. Most Loved/Least Worthy Award: A tie between America 's sweethearts Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks! Aww! They should band together to do a movie—say, a romantic comedy in which a crotchety foreign landlady and a talking dog impede a reunion between two star-crossed lovers! And the stars could be on the run, Bird on a Wire-style, from a cranky Mafia boss played by either Jonathan Lipnicki or even Prince Adorable himself, Marlon Brando! Save some time and just give them the Oscar at its premiere. Least Loved/Most Worthy Award: We counted eight films featuring Michael Rapaport this year—too bad those titles, including Lucky Numbers and Ah-nuld's DNAction flick The 6th Day, were entirely forgettable. And even though this talented character actor stole his every scene, we'd take one good movie from him over all eight of these. Most Unforgivable Cinematic Offense and a Crime Against Humanity forWhich Someone, Preferably a Cute Orphan Named Skippy, Should be Garrotted; Pay It Forward. Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment headline this heinous affront to audience taste and intelligence. In their most memorable work, all three have trod a deft line between sincerity and mush —but after this, can we ever take them that seriously again? Kevin, back in the shower to masturbate. □

Living life as art

In its best and worst moments, Duke has been an inspiration Memories of moderation Jonas Blank We reviewed an album in Recess this year called Swansong For You. Fortunately, I get to write my own swan song here. It’s the last chance I will have to speak for myself in print for quite awhile, so bear with me. I came to Duke tom between the artistic and the practical. Equally in love with indie rock and the law, I came consumed by a passion for writing, as well as a desire to justify my parents’ expenditure through a relatively profitable

nomically corruptible and unresponsive to opposition. I struggled to get here; I have at times questioned whether my intellectual ability merited my being a Duke student. I watched bright—even brilliant—and much more hardworking students in my public high school get rejected in favor of me: Jonas Blank, 12th in his class, the only kid accepted to Duke in three years. That this administration admits, at least internally, that it accepts one-fifth of its students not for their intellectual merit but for the financial attainment of their parents, is an incalculable offense and affront to students like me, as well as the thousands of public school students who are probably better than me whose lack of money or athletic ability keeps their open, fresh minds out.

and traditionally successful “career.” I leave Duke torn in another way, This administration claims to both enlightened and disappointed. At respect diversity, but only does so in the Duke, I have met some of the finest, shallowest sense. Admissions practices most inspiring intellectuals I will ever that favor prep schools and potential encounter. True to my internal divisions, donors directly engender a culture of some have been professors, some practiprivilege; parochial academic practioners.

Rethinking Modern life is rubbish Robert Kelley I changed my mind After weeks of supporting The Chronicle’s decision to run the David Horowitz advertisement and refusal to apologize, I now believe that the paper should have done otherwise. As a Chronicle writer and an aspiring journalist, I immediately jumped to the defense of the newspaper when the uproar began. “We must do everything we can to promote free speech,” I thought, or else respect for the principle will erode to the point where someday my freedom as a journalist might be inhibited. I sympathized with the protesters, but I dismissed them as ignorant of the tenets of journalism. But for the next couple of weeks, I agonized over the gulf between the group of protesters —many of whom I consider friends—and me. Even though nobody ever presented me with an argument that swayed me, the earnestness and fervor of these individuals convinced me to re-examine my opinion and, eventually, to change it. I began by recognizing that the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” is completely untrue. Words can and do hurt. The cruel words of our peers lead many of us into such problems as eating disorders and depression—problems that hurt us much worse than a simple beating would have. Any beating, though, is almost certainly precipitated by cruel words. Hate speech made the

Holocaust possible; hate speech made Southern

dom. Freedom means the freedom to outrage and to be outraged. Rarely have I been so transformed as when I am angry. Perhaps, then, the

administration deserves backhanded praise for its faults. I love Duke for its faculty; I love it for the friends I have made. But I am ashamed of an administration that kowtows to privilege and political correctness, that bends to the inflexible and tyrannical will of “liberal” pedagogy. One that, in short, has proven to me that I do not belong here—because I do not believe in playing along. I thought that by choosing law school over journalism next year that I was selling out my artistic side. But my Duke experience suggests to me that my artistic/practical dichotomy is a false distinction. There is a dire need in this country for people willing to say what they mean. But there is an equally dire need for those who will dedicate their lives to securing them the right to say it

The most important lesson I will take from Duke, with all its wonderful opportunities and lingering faults, is that art is a broad term. Art means passion for whatever you do; personal, near-religious zeal for your practices. It means having intense, reckless enthusiasm for your career and for life. I titled my column after a line in a Liz Phair song. It begins; “Moderation is a memory...” Moderation, to me, means stagnation. In all things—in writing, in law, in music, in consulting—let your life be an exemplary one. Live your life, as a mother, father, judge or writer, like an artist; immoderate, outrageous, unbri-

dled, incredible. Free. Moderation is a memory for me. Duke—beautiful, brilliant and spectacularly flawed—will soon be as well. And no matter how mixed, that memory will be sweet. Jonas Blank is a Trinity senior and editor of Recess.

past positions

lynchings possible; hate speech made the murder of Matthew Shepherd possible. So I presented myself with a hypothetical situation: If I were a newspaper editor in Germany in the 19305, would I have accepted an advertisement that simply pointed out a fact such as, “Jews have a disproportionate amount of wealth in this country”—perhaps factually true, but insinuating that Jews were somehow harming Germany? Or, to give another example, would I have accepted an advertisement in 1940s California that pointed out the deep cultural roots of Japanese Americans—another factually valid statement, but with a subtext of fear and animosity? My answer to both hypothetical scenarios was an unequivocal “no.” I would reject these ads because I cannot help but hold this type of speech responsible for the awful actions that followed, and any newspaper that allowed such opinions to be voiced must also bear that responsibility. But, I wondered, how can I make the leap from 1930s Germany and 1940s California to Durham in 2001? First, I examined the content of the Horowitz ad. What was so offensive about it? I dismissed the notion that people were so upset over its factual erroneousness—as somebody pointed out, most classroom lectures on this campus are teeming with factual inaccuracies. So I looked at a line from the ad that may very well be true: “American blacks on average enjoy per capita incomes in the range of twenty to fifty times that of blacks living in any of the African nations from which they were kidnapped.” To blacks, this statement could easily read, “We could take away your civil rights and half your money, and you would still be better off than those blacks left behind in Africa.” Many blacks are old enough to remember the era before white America granted them equal rights, and those too young have studied it carefully. They know that

arguments like Horowitz’s were often used to defend horrible injustices. They know that when somebody says, “You’re lucky just to be here,” many others agree. But why is it that the protesters were almost all black? William James once wrote, “A blind man may know all about the sky’s blueness... conceptually; [b]ut so long as he has not felt the blueness... [his] knowledge, wide as it is... will be hollow and inadequate.” Just as the blind person can never know what blue is, a non-black person can never know what it is like to be black. Sometimes non-blacks have to take on faith that the concerns expressed by blacks are real and not irrational. I wish The Chronicle had not contributed to a threatening environment on campus for blacks. I would not have run the ad because I recognize that, in the past, such hate speech laid the foundation for terrible actions. More disappointing, though, was the general lack of wisdom from the Duke faculty. I find it hard to blame anybody at The Chronicle because we are all students, not professionals, but why could not a single faculty member elucidate to the student body the reasons why people found this ad so offensive? On one hand, we have Jerry Hough blaming the victims for their lack of political clout, and on the other we had Houston Baker dishing out vitriol and vacuousness at what was supposed to be an intellectual forum about the controversy. These academic charlatans not only did a disservice to the community by their lack of judiciousness, but they also detracted from the title of“Duke professor.” The good news is that minds can change as long as we keep them open. And opening your mind—about race, ideas, and even the music you listen to—is what college is all about.

written down anywhere,” Lange said of the “up or out” rule. His one major objection to the review was its recommendation that deans, not department chairs, rank department faculty. The ranking is essential to the consideration of tenure candidates, Lange said. Noting that clinical faculty members in the Medical Center have a separate APT process, Dr. John Baillie, associate professor ofmedicine, suggested the University look into integrating the two processes.

“The folks in the Medical Center really want to be a part of this university and are missing that oversight,” he said. The council elected four new members to its executive committee. Serving two-year terms will be Frederik Nijhout, professor of biology, Dr. Douglas Tyler, associate professor of surgery and chief of surgical oncology, and Marjorie McElroy, professor of economics and

University is expected to play some type of parental role in taking care of students.” Nefouse said he is glad, though, that another revision responded to living group concerns that they are too often held accountable for damage they did not do. The new policy will penalize groups only if an individual responsible for inappropriate behavior cannot be identified. It will also allow groups to hold closed social events on campus, require them to be responsible for access to their events and mandate that they provide nonalcoholic beverages and food at their parties. In addition, next year’s policy will include a provision for parental notification of alcohol-

related judicial violations “when the students’ health or safety has been at risk.” These incidents include any trips to the Emergency Department taken under the amnesty clause. The measure received nearly unanimous support from student leaders, and Clack said he hopes it will not cause students to think twice before taking a peer to the hospital. The new amnesty clause also specifically states that students taken to the hospital will be “exempt from disciplinary procedures but not from restitution to the community.” “Duke’s use of the word ‘amnesty has given people mixed impressions in terms of the repercussions of an action. This will clarify how Duke defines amnesty” said senior Jasmin French, DSG vice president for student affairs. “I understand the position they were in, and I still am debating all the aspects of it, but from a legal standpoint, this is the only

choice Duke had.” Three suggestions ofthe policy committee were not carried out—providing bracelets to identify legal drinkers, allowing only one open door into living group sections to regulate attendance, and eliminating commons room parties altogether.

Kulley may have New dean values interdisciplinarity say in new policy � WILLIAMS from page 1

� KULLEY from page 6 “We are really fortunate things fell into place.” Like Atkinson, Kulley will be involved primarily in treatment efforts, but it is likely that he will also play a role in making alcohol-related policy. Clack, who is also director of CAPS, said Kulley will lead a committee composed of officials from across the University—in Student Development, Campus Police and Student Health—to address

the

alcohol problem.

That problem culminated in the death of a student last year and 52 reported trips to the Emergency Department thus far this year. Kulley said he looks forward to helping shape policy and specifically mentioned an interest in issues of University-sponsored and underage drinking. “It puts everybody in a touchy situation,” Kulley said. “Rules without enforcement don’t end up meaning that much. Consistent rules or consistent messages are important.... [At the same time], I don’t want underage people to not have access to help just because of that.” He emphasized the importance of policymakers enforcing the policy and health professionals promoting safety through education and treatment. Kulley said he thinks the University will be different from UT-Austin in its traditions, particularly because many alumni have children who attend Duke. He said it is important to make sure that those traditions are reasonable.

Selected by Snyderman and approved by President Nan Keohane, Williams was one of about eight finalists in the year-long search to replace Dr. Edward Holmes, who left last year. His appointment awaits formal approval from the Board of Trustees at its May meeting. Williams, who will begin his term July 1, said he was particularly drawn to Duke’s focus on interdisciplinary research. Duke’s long-range plan calls for connections among different schools and departments and the creation of the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. “I’ve found the greatest success where I have had fresh ideas that are at the boundaries between one field of biomedical science and another. The traditional definitions of scientific disciplines are changing,” Williams said. “The success of the Medical Center in the next few decades will be determined in large measure by how effectively we can build these interdisciplinary bridges.” Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, co-chair of the search committee and James B. Duke professor of cardiology, said Williams, the committee’s top choice, will enjoy widespread support from faculty at all levels and in all areas of the Medical Center. Snyderman said he was particularly impressed with Williams’ work at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he now serves as chief of cardiology and director of the Rybum Center for Molecular Cardiology. There, Williams quadrupled the faculty in cardiology and helped develop the Center for Biomedical Invention.

“He built one of the nation’s strongest cardiology programs [at Southwestern] through reaching out, bridging with people throughout the entire campus,”

said Snyderman, who is also CEO of Duke University Health System. “I know he’s going to do the same thing here.” As the economics of health care change procedures at medical schools across the country, Williams said, he knows he will face particularly unique challenges in the future. “Those present challenges to simply raise the capital that you need to do exciting new ventures. We have to come to grips with that, and I think the leadership of the Medical Center has been quite successful so far,” Williams said. “Money is always limiting to some degree, and we have to develop all the potential funding sources to their maximum.” Keohane expressed her enthusiasm for Williams’ appointment and said the new dean will fight to hold standards at the Medical Center high. The School of Medicine jumped in the U.S. News and World Report Rankings this year to No. 3 for research, behind Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University. “He will need to work with colleagues throughout the Medical Center to protect the high standards of the medical school in a fiercely competitive world, and increase our visibility in research funding, especially on the federal level,” Keohane wrote in an e-mail. “He will also need to support the clinicians in their work, which is under a lot of pressure these days, and understand the stresses both they and the basic scientists face.” This is not Williams’ first time at Duke. After graduating from Duke’s School of Medicine in 1974, he joined the faculty in 1984 and remained at Duke for about six years. He has more than 150 medical and scientific publications and holds five patents for his work. He has chaired several committees for the American Heart Association and won Duke’s School of Medicine Distinguished Alumnus Award last year.

Top-seeded Blue Devils roll over Terps Men’s lacrosse

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle Fla. ORLANDO, Duke As a shuttle 4 launched up from Cape Canaveral yesterday afternoon amidst the blue Florida sky, Megan Miller hoped to launch the women’s tennis team into what would be a complete set of conference championships in her four years at Duke.

Hoping to secure an NCAA tournament berth for the fifth consecu-

final ACC tournament. “It’s great to always go out and hit the ground running,” Miller said. “It’s been an unbelieveable four years.... I definitely want to go out with a bang.” The Blue Devils began their ACC run with a 4-0 first-round rout over Maryland with a new lineup in doubles they only began using last week. Miller joined Ansley Cargill at No. 1 doubles for an 8-3 win, while at No. 3 doubles, Kathy Sell and Katie

Granson took an 8-2 win. Coach Jamie Ashworth said that mixing up the lineups helped to revitalize the team as well as increase its intensity. “I think it says volumes that we were able to mix it up,” Miller said. “It helps keep other teams off balance when they play us. Having that is a luxury.” Cargill, who joined Miller at No. 1 doubles, agreed. “Obviously, we need good communication in doubles,” said Cargill of the modified lineup. “We weren’t playing with good chemistry.” With the doubles point in tow, Duke immediately set about demolishing the Terrapins in a matchup See WOMEN’S TENNIS on page 22 �

tive year, the 12th-ranked Duke men’s lacrosse team travels to Orlando, Fla. this weekend to compete in the ACC tournament against Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. After registering key victories over Yale and Virginia the last two weekends, the Blue Devils hope to continue their terrific play and have high expectations as they approach a first round matchup with North Carolina. “We’re going down there like all the other teams, not only to win Friday, but to win the ACC tournament title,” Duke coach Mike Pressler said. “We have to use the Virginia game as a catalyst for momentum.” Last weekend’s thrilling 10-9 win over the Cavaliers earned the Blue Devils a No. 2 seed in the four-team field, fueling the team’s confidence. “We’re excited about our position,” senior goaltender Matt Breslin said. “We’re the second seed in the ACC See LACROSSE on page 22 'P

Duke hopes to exorcise ACC demons

ACC Sprinqfest

By ANDREW GREENFIELD

Men’s Golf

The Chronicle

It is safe to say that the men’s golf team has been sleeping well this week. After winning their second tournament of the year last weekend, the Blue Devils have all but solidified their spot in the NCAA Regionals. Now, their attention will be focused on the ACC Championships this weekend in Orlando, Fla., as they try to prove to the powerhouse teams of the ACC that they for real. “If there’s one tournament we’d like to win, it’s the ACCs,” junior Matt Krauss said. If Duke wants a chance to put on ACC championship rings, it will need Krauss to break out of his recent slump. The team’s top player has yet to post a top-10 finish in any of the five tournaments of the spring season. While the Blue Devils are confident that Krauss will rise to the occasion, they know that all five players must play their “A” game in order to compete with the top teams in the ACC. Four ofthe top-10 teams in the country are in the ACC, with Georgia Tech ranked second, Clemson ranked third, Wake Forest at ninth and N.C. State at 10th. “The ACC is always very important,” coach Rod Myers said. “It’s going to be really tight. All the top teams are playing well and both UNC and Virginia are starting to find themselves. “Not only do we want to play well for our seeding in the Regionals, but we want to prove to everybody that we have a really good team.” For the Blue Devils to do that, senior Kevin Streelman and junior Brandon LaCroix will need to perform like they did last week, when they finished first and fourth, respectively. “This was a break-out performance for Kevin,” Myers said. “Kevin has been working really hard on his game, his golf swing looks good and he is playing with confidence now.” As Myers has alluded to all year, the only thing that matters is how teams play at the end of the

MJ hires former coach to remake Wizards Smith will try By JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press

WASHINGTON Michael Jordan and Doug Collins, whose competitive natures clashed with the Chicago Bulls in the 1980s, are together again with the Washington Wizards. Their come relationship, September, is still undecided. Will Collins be coaching for Jordan, or will Jordan be playing for Collins? Yesterday, Jordan was the boss. The Wizards’ part-owner and president of basketball operations hired Collins, an NBA analyst and former coach of the Bulls and Pistons, as the team’s sixth head coach in 25 months. “Why? Why do you want to do this?”’ said Collins, anticipating the reaction. “It’s easy—because Michael Jordan called me on the phone and

said, T need you. Can you come help me?’ It was easy once he said that.” Collins follows a trail littered with unsuccessful attempts to turn around the moribund Wizards, who have not

won a playoff game in 13 years. He replaces Leonard Hamilton, a rookie coach hand-picked by Jordan last summer after a successful college career at Miami. Hamilton resigned Wednesday night after the season finale. The Wizards finished 19-63, the thirdworst record in the NBA, and set a franchise record for losses in a season. “I was looking to try and experiment and go the college ranks. Obviously that did not work,” Jordan said. ‘We kind of put him behind the 8-ball.”

Jordan said he spoke with Hamilton about two weeks ago and

realized the challenge of coaching the Wizards was taking its toll. “Would I have fired him?” Jordan said. “I hoped I didn’t have to come to that. But when he gave me the notion that he didn’t know whether he was suited for his position, I had to act.” Jordan immediately contacted Collins, who coached Jordan in Chicago for three years before being fired after the 1988-89 season. “I think his coaching ability is desperately something we need to educate the young talent we have,” Jordan said. The Wizards, with little salary cap space until 2002, are a young, sometimes undisciplined, team searching for an identity. That description could also have applied 15 years ago to Collins, when he was a rookie coach trying to handle an emerging superstar. “We knocked heads early,” Collins said. “I was 35, had never been a head coach before, was going to roll up my sleeves to show everybody that I could get the job done. I wanted to do

by Phil Jackson, who led Jordan and the Bulls to six NBA titles. “I’ll be honest with you,” Collins said. “There have been times I’ve sat around and wondered, ‘Did Michael learn anything from me? Does he respect me? When he called me on the phone [lO days ago], I knew he respected me.” Jordan’s selection of Collins will only heighten speculation that Jordan will leave the front office and return as a player next season. Jordan has increased his workouts in recent weeks, but he continues to play down the odds while not completely closing the door. Jordan said Collins’ hiring “is not depending upon whether Michael Jordan plays basketball again.” “There’s been a lot of conversation about Michael Jordan playing basketball again,” Jordan said. “I’ve said, and I still hold true to my words, that there’s a 99.9 percent chance that I won’t.” But, he added: “Three months from now, I can’t tell where I’m going to be. things my way. Hopefully, I’ll still be breathing. But if “My passion is still there. I’m you ask me my opinion, as of right older, I’d like to think I’m wiser. In a now, I’m not playing basketball next situation like this, it’s going to take a season, and Doug understands that.” lot of patience. Michael and I have Added Collins: “The most imporanother similar quality, we’re probatant thing for me was that Michael bly not the most patient of people.” was going to be president here and we Jordan also admitted the two did were going to be together.

record—again—in the semifinals by carrying his team to the championship match, where Duke is certainly no stranger. “If we keep playing the way we’re playing, we’re going to be tough to beat,” Lapidus said. The Blue Devils, who have been the conference champions in nine of the past 11 seasons, put together an 8-0 blitzkrieg through the conference this season, outscoring their fellow ACC teams by a margin of 51-5. The closest any conference opponent came to Duke was 5-2. Yesterday’s match against the Terrapins was no exception, as Duke leapt to a 1-0 lead on the strength of an 8-0 win at No. 1 doubles by Smith and Rueger, followed by 8-3 wins at No. 2 and No. 3. Smith’s dominance at No. 1 singles mimicked the entire team’s performance. No Maryland player was able to grab more than two games in a single set. At No. 5 singles, Mike Yani won an impressive 6-0, 6-0 match. “They don’t fund the program scholarshipwise, so it’s difficult for them to compete,” Lapidus said. “You could see by the scores that our guys played really well

It’s a great honor, but he’s not that type of player.” Tomorrow, Smith hopes to break the

PARKING

DUKE ALUMNI REUNION WEEKEND

HEADQUARTERS QUADS

TRANSPORTATION

THE

Reunions Office will provide alumni with limited transportation during reunion weekend. There will be a shuttle service between the headquarters hotels and Duke Campus throughout the day on Friday and Saturday. Busing from the headquarters hotels to all class-specific parties, the president’s address, and events on Sunday will also be provided. Please check the transportation schedule posted in the lobby of your class’ headquarters hotel for specific shuttle departure/arrival times. On-campus parking is extremely limited even when school is not in session, but on reunion weekend it will probably be practically impossible to find a parking space on campus. To avoid spending precious reunion hours searching in vain for a parking place, we strongly encourage all returning alumni to take advantage ofthe headquarters hotels-to-campus shuttles. If you do decide to risk driving to and parking near campus, there is a parking lot reserved exclusively for alumni directly across from the Alumni House at 614 Chapel Drive. Once that lot is full, alumni are encouraged to park in the reserved Reunions deck of the North Pavilion Parking Deck, located at the Duke Medical Center; shuttle service will run continuously between this parking deck and campus throughout the weekend.

BABYSITTING

The Reunions Office has several resources for babysitting and childcare referrals. Rates vary, and arrangements for sitters must be made directly by

class members. Kid Care (919-676-1550; Jill Hauser, contact), and More Than Nannies (919-967-2080; Cynthia Holmes, contact), offer a variety of sitting options, and should be contacted as soon as possible,

available on a first-come, first-served basis. Duke University and Alumni Affairs assume no liability or responsibility for any of the services as services are

listed above.

Each reunion class will have its own on-campus “home” an official reunion gathering place in the form of a beautiful, well-lit, climate-controlled marquee tent, complete with flooring and comfortable seating. Upon arrival to campus, alumni will pick up their registration packets and class favors at their Headquarters Tent; beverages, paper, pens, and a message board are some of the amenities that will be available at the class headquarters throughout the reunion. Bring your scrapbooks and memorabilia for reminiscing with your classmates! -
