Wasiolek to take interim dean job From staff reports

Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Clack will announce today that Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs, will serve as interim dean of student development. Wasiolek will assume those duties—in addition to her current resposibilities—after Barbara Baker, who currently oversees the Office of Student Development, leaves June 15 for a similar position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “[Wasiolek was chosenl because ofher years of experience

and knowledge of the areas,” Clack said. “She is someone the staff

will trust.” Clack said that Wasiolek’s Wasiolek experience would make it less urgent for incoming Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta to find a permanent replacement for Baker. “This will give him a lot of time to consider who he wants in that position,” Clack said. Moneta, who will take office this August, visited the University earlier this week to meet with administrators Wasiolek, Trinity ’76, has been with the Office of Student Affairs since 1979. Known as a leading advocate for students among administrators, “Dean Sue” has not missed a men’s basketball game in Cameron in 28 years, dating back

to her time as a student. As interim dean of student devlopment, Wasiolek will oversee residential life and community development, housing assignments, leadership development, judicial affairs and new student orientation.

FIREMEN RELAX outside Durham’s Firestation #2 on Ninth Street, one of the stations that serves Duke. Soon, the University may compensate the city for fire services with an annual payment of at least $300,000.

Duke may pay city for fire service By JAMES HERRIOTT The Chronicle

The next time firefighters are called in during a bonfire, it may be on Duke’s tab. Following several months of talks, the University has tentatively agreed to pay Durham $300,000 an-

nually for fire services. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said official Duke action awaits approval from the Board of

Trustees but that he feels the figure—which has been included in Durham’s budget for next year—is

In addition, Trask and Bethea must agree to a methodology for assessing Duke’s use of Durham fire services. Two payment systems have been proposed.

WASHINGTON Seri. James Jeffords of Vermont told aides yesterday that he planned to leave the

GRADUATE STUDENTS camp out each fall for tickets to men’s basketball games. Although they requested more seats in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Department of Athletics will again give them 700 seats.

Seat allocation remains unchanged By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Although graduate students requested an additional 100 to 150 seats for men’s basketball games in Cameron Indoor Stadium next season, the Department of Athletics has decided to maintain the current seating allocation, citing no impetus for making a change.

Daniel Rosenthal, co-chair of the Graduate and Professional Student Council’s ticket committee, said he was not disappointed in the latest review. “Absolutely, I thought it was an appropriate decision,” he said. Last year, graduate students—who camp out at the beginning of the academic year for tickets—had access to 700 seats, 100 more than they had the previous season. Those 100 seats were taken from undergraduates following flagging attendance at several home games. “Fm pleased with [the current allocation],” said Greg Skidmore, Duke Student Government head line monitor. “I think it’s the best ratio we could have. I think that it’s a fair allotment and a fair number of

undergraduates will be able to get into the game.” Last year, Director of Athletics Joe Alieva said that if the undergraduate attendance picked up, he might return the 100 seats. But Mitch Moser, business manager of the Duke University Athletic Association, said there is no reason to consider such a change. Moser said he did not have figures on undergraduate attendance for each game during the champi-

onship season. “We have them available if we want to spend the time and go back and look at them. We don’t get those numbers from DukeCard every single time,” he said. Moser said the athletic department would keep a closer watch on both the undergraduate and graduate entrance card swipes next year. Rosenthal added that it will be a great year to gauge student interest as the returning national champions will be legitimate contenders for another title.

“Duke won the national championship and that’s fabulous,” said Rosenthal, a third-year law student. “I would expect both sections to be packed next year.”

under 5 percent. The $252 million preliminary budget, presented Monday to the Durham City Council by Interim City Manager Greg Bethea, would increase spending by 8.6 percent from this year if the council approves it June 18. Bethea cast the proposal as a budget that maintains all existing city services while simultaneously adding new expenditures for better maintenance of city facilities, improvements to city transportation, an additional police beat around the new Streets at Southpoint mall and more firefighters. “What we’ve tried to do is to provide the same level of service while at the same time increasing the amount of maintenance of city services,” Bethea said. For the average taxpayer, however, that means a 4.8 percent increase in taxes. The proposed rate of 54.2 cents per $lOO of property value, although technically lower than last year’s rate, would provide the city with an additional $3.4 million in tax revenue because the city revaluated market property values this year. Out of that $3.4 million, $2.2 million would go toward the increased debt payments on bonds for infrastructure improvements that Durham voters approved in 1996. Bethea said the tax increase was unfortunate, but necessary to avoid cutting existing programs. “At the end, we were not going to be able to provide that same level of service or address those additional needs without the tax increase,” he said. “My realistic assessment is the tax increase is needed now.” The city projected in 1996 that approving the bond referendum could lead to a tax increase of six cents per $lOO over a six-year period, but until last year, it did not raise property taxes at all. Last year, the council approved a one-cent increase to hind a new parking garage for the planned American Tobacco development. Mayor Nick Tennyson, who saw the budget for the first time Monday night, said he was not surprised by the tax increase, especially in fight of the increased pressure from the debt. “I think this is the management’s sincere best effort,” Tennyson said. “If there is going to be an avoided tax increase, it will be because we don’t do something, not because we all of a sudden get smarter.” See BUDGET on page 8 P-

turnover rate at ail-time high

With more and more doctors working in a managed care setting, job turnover is at an all-time high. Medical journals are filled with advertisements of new employment opportunities, and every day physicians across the nation receive queries from medical headhunters. Physician turnover costs the health care industry hundreds of millions of dollars per year and has the potential to harm patients, experts say. •

Negative image linked to nurse shortage

Experts in the medical field have become increasingly worried that negative perceptions of nursing have contributed to a severe shortage of nurses in hospitals and other medical facilities across the country. To fight back, nursing schools and hospitals are using a number of different marketing and advertising strategies to change the perception that nursing is a stressful, powerless, dead-end career choice and bring new blood into the field. •

Many don’tknow that 75 percent of them will die of heart disease and stroke down the line," said Dr. Sidney Smith, chief science officer of the AHA. Only a third of those surveyed listed heart disease among the “most serious” diabetes-related complications.

Researchers dispute placebo effect

In a report that is being met partly with astonishment and partly with disbelief, two Danish researchers say the common notion of the placebo effect is a myth. Instead, they theorize, patients seem to improve after taking dummy pills because most diseases have uneven courses in which their severity waxes and wanes. After analyzing 114 published studies involving about 7,500 patients, the scientists say that when treatments are compared both to placebos and to no treatment at all, patients given no treatment tend to improve at the same rate as those given placebos. •

THIS WEEK’S HEALTH TIP

Internet health information may be faulty

When it comes to delivering health content, the Internet is more of a twisting mountain road than an information superhighway. People who tour the Web to learn about specific medical conditions are likely to get a thin dose of generally accurate but fairly technical content that is often lacking important clinical material, says a study that analyzed 25 websites. Far from being a worldwide clearinghouse, the Internet provides health information that is heavily biased toward people who speak English, and consumer-oriented health information is often incomplete and hard to access and understand. The RAND research institution analysis involved a panel of 34 physicians who evaluated English- and Spanish-language sites. The panel looked at common medical conditions and how well the websites covered topics the doctors believed consumers should know.

NFL doctor to lead sports medicine By MATT BRUMM The Chronicle

In 1996, Dr. Claude Moorman bid farewell to Duke, accepted a job at the University of Maryland and became head team physician for the Baltimore Ravens. Five years and one Super Bowl championship ring later, Moorman is returning to his alma mater to lead its sports medicine program. “Once you work for [the University], you get Duke in your blood, and it’s hard to get it 0ut.... Once you’re a Dukie, you’re always a Dukie,” said Moorman, Trinity ’B3. Moorman played football for the Blue Devils and returned to Durham after medical school to complete his internship and residencies in general and orthopedic surgery. Moorman, known simply as “T”, will take the reigns of Duke’s program from retiring director Dr. Frank Bassett, who will stay on at Duke to teach and serve as a consultant. “He’ll bring a lot of respect, a lot of hard work, a lot of experience,” Bassett said. “He’s very good. He’s excellent, as a matter offact. It’s been a joy to watch him mature.” Moorman said that his program will rely on cooperation between trainers, researchers and physicians to ensure that athletes obtain the best possible care. “Everything we do and everything that we are... [is] to provide the absolute best care on the planet to the Duke athletes. Everything else trickles down from there,” he said. Included on Moorman’s first-year agenda is increasing interaction between the sports medicine program and the athletic department as well as improving the flow of information between researchers at the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Research Laboratory—the K-Lab—and players and coaches on the field. After spending one year at Cornell University and two more in clinical practice at Duke, Moorman built a sports medicine program at Maryland from the ground up.

“At this point, we don’t know how the toxins gather in the caterpillars or how that may affect the horses,” said Scott Smith, dean of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. “And now that the caterpillars aren’t really around anymore, it may be difficult to establish a concrete link.” Not every expert is ready to abandon the mycotoxin theory. “I think it’s very unlikely that it is the tent caterpillars, but they have to be looked at just like the mycotoxins,” said Dr. Bill Bernard, internal medicine specialist at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington. Current estimates are that the syndrome may have claimed up to 6 percent of this year’s expected crop of nearly 10,000 foals and as much as 25 percent of the 2002 crop, which could cost Kentucky’s billion-dollar thoroughbred industry hundreds of millions of dollars.

Race splits Durham school board By JAMES HERRIOTT The Chronicle Two weeks ago, the Durham Public School Board approved an $B,lOO bonus and one-year contract extension for Superintendent Ann Denlinger. The decision was far from unanimous and bitterly split along racial lines. But that racial division is nothing new. The school board appointed Denlinger in 1997—in another racially split vote—over James Williams of Dayton, Ohio, who was endorsed by many black community members. “There are certain members of the African-American community who were vehemently opposed to her since she came, and I don’t think they gave her a fair chance,” said Phillis Scott, a school board member. But black community members have argued that Denlinger has not been responsive to their opinions, especially during discussions about how to respond to recent accusations that Hillside High School Principal Richard Hicks tampered with a student’s grades.

In early February, Denlinger decided to allow Hicks to return to Hillside for the rest of the school year. However, she not yet formally announced Hicks’ replacement. Black board members said that the Hillside incident accentuated the disrespect they felt from Denlinger and some of the white board members. “I think the root cause [of the school board’s problems] is the lack of really listening to each others opinions and really putting forward an attempt to understand the opinion of each board member,” said Mozell Robinson, a board member. “The African-American members are excluded from prior conversations so issues appear as done deals when we get to the meeting.” Arguing that the Hillside discussions were exclusionary, that the job assessment was not objective and that the budget was extremely tight, the two black board members at the meeting voted against Denlinger’s bonus and contract extension.

State law requires that the 16 members appointed to the board every two years include at least two women, two racial minorities and two members whose political affiliation is in the minority in the General Assembly. The plaintiffs contend that the requirement violates the equal protection clauses of the U.S. and staite constitutions. But the UNC system argues that the quotas demonstrate the system’s commitment to diversity, and that the current method works well.

University, maintenance workers disagree on wages � LABOR from page 1

The negotiations, which have lasted over a month, focus on issues of pay, sick leave and retirement benefits. If the two sides do not come to a consensus, lUOE spokesperson Henry Loftis said Wednesday night that the union would request a federal mediator and a contract extension while talks continue. The 120-member union could also vote to strike or keep working without a contract, and Loftis said either is possible although not desirable. “I’ve yet to see a work stoppage since I started working here in 1988, but it might take that to get equity,” Loftis said earlier in the week. John Burness, Duke’s senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, would not rule out the possibility of an employee lockout. “All kinds of things get on the table in those kinds of circumstances,” he said. Burness, who is not taking part in the negotiations, declined to give details on the talks because of a Univer-

sity policy prohibiting negotiations through the press. The union did not pursue a declaration from the National Labor Relations Board that the University is using unfair labor practices, something that would have prevented a lockout.

The lUOE has focused on what they call an unfair pay gap between University maintenance workers and their counterparts at Duke Hospital. The highest-paid workers in Local 465 receive $18.76 per hour, while the high-

est-paid Hospital maintenance workers make $21.17. Loftis said Wednesday night that the latest University proposal—which called for a 2.5 percent raise next year, with 2 percent raises each of the next two years—is not satisfactory. Burness said the pay discrepancy results from a different wage structure at the Hospital. The University pays maintenance workers based on seniority, whereas the Hospital pays them through an incentive system. “It ends up being a measurement

system: If you are an effective and productive worker, you get paid more,” Burness said. Union workers dismissed that distinction, saying they do the same amount ofwork as Hospital employees.

Before negotiations began, union

representatives said they wanted paid community service leave for workers. That proposal is in jeopardy, Loftis said, because the administration has raised issues of sick leave abuse. University negotiators have accused Local 465 workers of having a higher absentee rate than other workers, Loftis said. He added that, although most absences have been for legitimate sicknesses, workers should be more conscientious in the future to avoid the implementation of an official attendance policy. Loftis said he had hoped to move negotiations to earlier in the spring—to rally support from students, professors and other Duke community members who leave in May—but that the University declined. Burness said that he

had been unaware of the effort. Student protests for higher wages and better treatment for employees have become more common at universities nationwide. One of the most high-profile protests occurred last month at Harvard University, where students held a sit-in for three weeks. Both union and administration representatives agreed that such protests can put pressure on institutions to improve pay and conditions. “For a while there has been a lot of attention paid to workers overseas, and I think you’re starting to see a little ofthat move into [this] country,” Burness said. About 50 union workers attended a meeting Monday afternoon, rallying behind their negotiating committee while it updated workers on the talks. With some wearing T-shirts that read “Close the Gap: Equity and Fairness for All,” many members said they felt underappreciated by the University, claiming that their behind-the-scenes work is often taken for granted and their welfare is overlooked.

Durham budget includes hiring 42 new firefighters � BUDGET from page 3

Council member Pamela Blyth, however, said she was concerned by the budget. “The administration will be hard-pressed to convince me to vote for a tax increase,” she said. Another major expenditure in Bethea’s proposal is a $1.6 million increase in facilities management funds, earmarked for an initiative to improve city buildings that have been neglected in the past. “We had not been maintaining those facilities to the

level that we should have been,” he said. “It is easier to would be firefighters needed to bring the city into comtalk about the new things rather than maintaining the pliance with new standards approved by the National things that we already have, but I think now is the time Fire Protection Association, Bethea said. . And in the preliminary budget, Bethea allocated to do that.” Bethea’s proposal would add eight new maintenance enough money for a 7 percent raise for every employee. Every employee would receive a 2 percent cost-of-living positions to the city staff. The budget would add a net total of 37 employees to increase, and those who qualify for a merit-based raise the city’s payroll, adding 67 positions while cutting 30. will receive an additional 5 percent increase. In recent Eight of the 30 positions that would be eliminated are years, the vast majority of city employees have qualified filled by current employees. Of the 67 new positions, 42 for the merit raise.

House approves education bill in bipartisan vote BY LIZETTE ALVAREZ

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The House overwhelmingly passed a bill yesterday that would reshape the federal government’s role in education by requiring states to conduct annual math and reading tests for students from third through eighth grades and hold accountable those schools that fail to make progress. Children in troubled schools would be given a new range of options, including transferring to other public schools after

one year and using federal money for private tutoring. Schools that fail persistently could ultimately be shut down. The bipartisan coalition that passed the measure, the “No Child Left Behind Act,” handed President George W. Bush a major legislative victory on one of his chief campaign pledges. Yesterday, his education secretary, Rod Paige, called the legislation a “great bipartisan bill” that advances the president’s education agenda. The House voted 384-45 to approve the legislation, which was written by Repub-

licans and Democrats using Bush’s plan as a blueprint. While the bill angered conservatives who said it did not go far enough and liberals who said it stepped too far in the wrong direction, 186Repub-

licans joined 197 Democrats and one independent to pass it. Thirty-four Republicans, 10 Democrats and one independent opposed it. Conservatives lost an important part of the battle yesterday, too, when the House resoundingly rejected a measure that would have allowed low-income

parents to use a federal stipend of $1,500 to send their children to private or religious schools. That amendment was defeated by a vote of 273-155. A scaled-back measure, creating a pilot project involving these school “vouchers,” also failed to win support. The Senate is expected to complete work soon on its version of the education bill, which adds new programs, more spending and, some analysts say, does

less for the poorest, most troubled schools. The legislation is likely to pass.

Democrats could take over Senate committee chairs JEFFORDS from page 2 of the largest tax cuts in two decades and plunged the Capitol into turmoil as the two parties began to prepare for a landmark shift in power. “If this occurs, it’s a historic shift,” said Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N. J.. “It’s an enormous shift of influence in the federal government.” Senators in both parties said early in the day that they had been told Jeffords would vote with the Democrats on organizational matters, a move that would end the 50-50 split that had left Republicans in control of the Senate through Vice President Dick Cheney’s tiebreaking vote. Such a changeover would put the Democrats back

¥-

in power for the first time since 1994, except for a short time this year when Cheney had not been sworn in and A1 Gore was still vice president. Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., would automatically become the majority leader with control over the flow of legislation. Aides in both parties said Democrats would become committee chairs under the power-sharing agreement struck earlier this year, though some Republicans insisted they could mount a filibuster against the change in chairs in a bid to retain power. Both sides agreed that a resolution creating new committee ratios and assignments could be subject to a filibuster. “If you think we’ve had gridlock up until now, watch

that one,” said Specter, one of those trying to convince Jeffords to reconsider. Democrats said privately that party leaders had promised Jeffords the chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee and that Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the ranking Democrat on the committee, had agreed to step aside. Reid, the Senate Democratic whip, has been courting Jeffords for weeks. Democrats said that if they took the majority they would have far more power to block conservative judges. “It would change the tone a lot and it would clearly change the tone on the court,” said Sen. Joseph Biden Jr., D-Del. Biden said Supreme Court nominations “would be a different world.”

On Reveal, veteran rockers R.E.M. return to their roots

By Tim Perzyk

When

Thursday, may twenty-four, two thousand one

all else fails, go with what you know. On their 12th studio album, R.E.M. shimmer with the same subdued intensity that won them fans 20 years ago. In the wake of a commercial flop—l99B's Up— the Georgia trio have revisited their strength: brooding ballads and mellow instrumental flourishes. The result is a blend of lyrical storytelling, tech-synth experimentation, and classic minor melodies. Reveal is a throwback to the band's earlier efforts. The album resembles their 1992 collection, Automatic for the People. Though Reveal lacks a stand-out radio smash like "Everybody Hurts," R.E.M.'s newest offering

echoes with the subtle feel of Automatic's "Try Not to Breathe" and "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite." The lead single, "Imitation of Life," misrepresents Reveafs deeper corridors. One of the album's only up-tempo cuts, "Imitation" is a poorly worded commentary on contemporary artifice. ("That's sugarcane /That tasted good /That's cinnamon /That's Hollywood") Simply, the radio-friendly melody deserves smarter lyrical accompaniment. With a twisted hint of "Shiny Happy People," "Imitation" is the album's aspartame. "

I'll Take the Rain" marks Reveals

GRADE:

haunting acoustic highpoint. At once understated and yet sickeningly overproduced, the cut is hardly adventurous. Nonetheless, Michael Stipe croons at his lovelorn and beleaguered best, convincing in his vulnerability. An infectious and repetitive piano sequence powers the deliberate chorus, which concludes with the soaring titular promise. Despite an early-R.E.M. sound, Reveal is no Murmur. The ethereal techno grooves that lace a majority of the album's tracks seem ripped from Madonna's transformational William Orbit collaboration, Ray of Light. The opening cut, "The Lifting," begins with a distorted synth sequence that's reminiscent of Moby's "Natural Blues." However, club melodies don't dominate Reveal. Electric guitar riffs interrupt the fluid flow of techno backups, and R.E.M.'s time-tested alterna-pop sound overcomes—though at some points awkwardly—the electronic influence. Continuing in the band's narrative tradition, Reveal demonstrates a successful mix of rhyming and free-verse poetic vignettes. From "All the Way to Reno," a tribute to a performer destined for stardom, to "She Just Wants to Be"—a vague message-driven ode to letting go of the past —Reveal is an intellectual journey.

MICHAEL STIPE IS COMING OUT... of some kind of strange room covered in hieroglyphics. With subtlety and interspersed social commentary, the album is thought-provoking and occasionally inspired, despite some unimaginative missteps. Like fellow 'Bos survivors U2, R.E.M. have attempted to rework their sound in the past. But both groups—U2 first with All That You Can't Leave Behind—now comfortably embrace their artistic origins, repaving paths they've already tread with creative twists and resurgent heart. Reveal is no groundbreaking opus, but the album issues a blow to commercial shape-shifting and marks another satisfying point in R.E.M.'s prolific music-making. □

All Hail the Clown If nothing else, the revival of Herb Gardner's /A Thousand Clowns confirms that Tom Selleck possesses an adroit sense of comedic timing that can enable a play—even a play as tired as this one—to soar. Murray Burns (Selleck) is a societal drop-out. Grown tired of his position as head writer for a children's television series, Burns goes J.D. Salinger, without the pompousness. He lives with his adopted nephew Nick (Nicolas King) in a New York City apartment. Murray does not work, celebrates his own holidays, and lives as a humorous hermit who can wisecrack on a moment's notice. But there is trouble in this clown's paradise—two caseworkers from the Bureau of Children's Welfare, Albert and Sandra, pay Murray a visit. They are concerned that little Nick is not receiving a proper parenting from Murray and are close to whisking him away. Bradford Cover's Albert is an analretentive, humorless prick. Barbara Garrick's Sandra is a weeping, compassionate, just-outof-grad uate-

school liberal —pretty typical of

every liberal artsTA I've TOM SELUECK CAPTURES the Murray Burns character much ever had. better than he captured the heart of Courteney Cox on The entire

cast gives strong performance, but the star here is Selleck and deservedly so. When Jason Robards played Murray in a 1965 film, he played it so well that it was hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Selleck ends this perception —his smile, timing, physical movement and delivery impress and capture all that is Murray. It is the warmth of Three Men and a Baby mixed with the smart-alecky Magnum Rl. Many actors have sought stage work recently as away to either jump-start their stalled careers or to jump on the stage bandwagon. In his first stage performance ever, Selleck shines. The problems with A Thousand Clowns are not something that the actors can overcome. Gardner is a very funny writer, and unlike the jokes in his masterpiece I'm Not Rappaport, many of his jokes in A Thousand Clowns die on modern audiences. Granted, this was not a problem with the premiere audience—the average age of the crowd must have been upwards of 65. They were rolling in the aisles, and not just to look for loose change. At the other end of the spectrum, children will likely enjoy the play as well —although the three-hour length might bewilder them. It sure bewildered me—why is a comedy, any comedy, three hours long? King's performance as the 10-yearold Nick should impress children and hopefully will inspire them to act. The play is a fun show for families and senior citizens—not for the 18-to-49 demographic, who will find many of the jokes flat, despite Selleck and Co.'s efforts. However, A Thousand Clowns remains a worthwhile theater experience, and more, it's a great way to encourage grandparent-grandchild relations. —By Martin Barn a —

Pearl Harbor does not blow up—it just blows

By Martin Barna

GRADE:

WE ARE JAPANESE IF YOU PLEASE.... Disney's depictions of Japanese people are exceptionally foul.

earl Harbor wants to be an imporhistorical drama. It also wants to a be a fun summer action movie. It fails at both, coming across as a mix between Titanic and Armageddon. Like those films, Pearl Harbor will make millions of dollars and shatter some box office records. Also like those blockbusters, the film is little more than a special effects parade, unburdened by a plot, believable scenarios or smart dialogue. Ordinarily, an action drama should be left off the hook, but the promotional campaign of Pearl Harbor has been so arrogant, so Russell Crowe-like in its sense of self-importance, that the film sequence is the deserves to be rapped soundly. To the producer of Pearl Harbor. Ben Affleck is no Tom Hanks, director Michael Bay is no Steven Spielberg, screenplay author Randall Wallace is not a writer and —even with its bleached-out frames and choppy, bloody action—this film is no Saving Private Ryan. It's not even a Private Benjamin. The film's first problem is its length —the nearly three-hour epic takes 90 minutes to develop a trio of wafer-thin characters (Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsdale). And it is not even 90 minutes of action—it's 90 minutes of a love triangle more juvenile than a secret admirer letter from a 13-year-old to her crush. Oooooooh, Rafe likes Evelyn; ooooooh, Danny likes Evelyn, too. How will they ever be friends again? What could possibly bring them together? Answer: not-so-subtle racism. A racially insensitive depiction of a few thousand Japanese soldiers can make the most jealous of lovers see the greater good. On the Japanese slur scale —ranging from one to ten —the film scores an

M#tant

only part of the film worth watching

"internment camp." The word is that Disney marketing executives will be submitting a toned-down version of the film overseas —so as not to offend Germans and Japanese people. That's understandable, but why do we Americans receive the bigoted version? Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Bay insist that the film is not a history lesson. History lesson or not, the film is certainly not a lesson in physics—the acrobatics that Affleck employs to save his skin invalidate two-thirds of Newton's laws. The special effects are pretty consistent with Newton's laws—planes that are hit go down, the U.S.S. Arizona sinks to the bottom of the Pacific. The booms are big and the destruction is spectacular. The effects, though, are not innovative, and in a big way this film is $l5O million spent on more of the same a formulaic summer blockbuster. Given the right direction, script and actors, Pearl Harbor could have been a magnificent film. While the final product entertains, it is so flawed that any of the inspiration that an epic war film should foment never reaches a depth higher than the sunken Arizona. □ —

Walking out of Angel Eyes, I thought of the advice my father gave me a long time ago about choosing movies to see in the theatre. He said, "You can always tell a bad movie if the advertisements for it use short phrases from the critics, especially if you've never heard of the critics." The ads for Angel Eyes do just that. A quote from Univision critic Cecilia Bogran says, "A great love story." What we don't see is what she said just after GRADE. | jma gj ne the full quote was something like, "A great love story might be what Angel Eyes aspires to be, but instead you find a dense fog no eyes could penetrate." Jennifer Lopez is the only thing in the movie worth watching. She seems to muster up real emotion for the trenchcoat-clad Jim Caviezel. His character, however, is never fully explored and seems to be a ch ripoff of City of Angels, except Caviezel is creepier. The story line starts strong. Lopez plays a no-nonsen; cop with no time for a fulfilling social life. She falls hard f( the mysterious, forever-5-o'clock-shadow man, Caviezel. Then the story gets muddled and the introduction of numerous subplots never go anywhere and stop the stoi in its tracks. Then it is just time to wait until it is over because nothing else is going to happen—ever. Angel Eyes is not a pleaser, but J.-Lo. and Jim Caviezel are not bad to look at for a little less than two hours. If you're just going for some eye candy, you're in for a treat. Don't look too close though; the film itself is an eyesore J. LO. should stick to wearing —By Cary Hughes see-through clothes. _

There's nothing like a heavy dose of self-awareness to turn the simplest, purest pleasures of pop culture into smarm. A rather late victim of the reflexivity plague, the fairy tale genre is given a pseudo-postmodern colostomy by the oafish Shrek. When Scream did it to horror, for years afterwards it became acceptable to resort to cheeky storytelling sloth by flattering the audience on their recognition of tangential pop culture references. But the self-conscious coyness doesn't suit fantasy well—Shrek winks and nudges enough, but its introspection goes nowhere, and the unadulterated joy of a fairy tale is lost in the process. GRADE: For a movie "about" fairy tales, Shrek doesn't know the formula. With a talented cast of voices (including Mike Myers as the title character and Eddie Murphy once again as a mugging jackass) and astoundingly expressive computer-generated imagery, somewhere along the scraggly plot line it ditches the fantasy-adventure thing and turns into a Sandra Bullock-style romantic comedy. Forgetting that its target kids care more about bodily fluids (of which the movie has plenty) than true love, Shrek brings one underlying Disney fairy tale theme to light—however unintentionally. "True love" in a Disney film is generally reserved exclusively for the beautiful, while affable and beauty-deprived supporting cast on approvingly. Shrek's parting message, ho ever, flips this around and teaches its audience that ugly, loutish and poor people too can find true love—as long as there are other equally hideous creatures out there in the world THE BELLS!

Too much symbolism

Commentary

Farewell

A recently released report on social space worries too much about symbolism

Behind the plate

recent years, multicultural groups have requested that the University give them more space. This past fall, President Nan Keohane asked that a committee begin studying these issues. Last week, the Cultural Space Committee released its report. Many campus cultural groups equate space with a symbolic form of respect from the University. The committee’s report addresses social space with this perception. However, symbolism in this case is hollow. Correcting societal ills will not come from one report on space allocation. No one has as much space as they want, and no arrangement can satisfy every group. Focusing on one set of groups and giving them priority merely creates problems elsewhere. One recommendation from the committee’s report is to give the Mary Lou Williams Center priority in scheduling events in the Great Hall. The center may have grand plans for using the area, but they are not the only body that programs events; other groups have also taken advantage of the large open resource that is the Great Hall. Giving preference creates new inequities for those groups, which could use the space to program but would now lose some influence in the process. At the same time, the proposal to move the center to occupy a significant portion of the West Union Building is questionable. Adding more space to the center may be beneficial as may moving it. However, giving it 20,000 square feet of space in the highly visible West Union Building may be too much. Making more prime campus space available is one ofthe key reasons behind the Bryan Center renovations, and the report takes note in proposing the creation of a multicultural center. Such an area would offer multicultural groups much-needed office space—thus freeing the space they previously occupied for others to expand. At the same time, creating commons rooms in this multicultural area can be a positive development as well—provided that the space is treated as the commons room in any living group is. Multicultural groups would have an automatic place to schedule small-scale events, and non-multicultural groups would still be able to use the space—the same way nonresidents can use living

group commons rooms. Area for religious prayer as part of the overall Bryan Center renovations also could help equity for everyone on campus. Religion is a key influence in many students’ lives, and providing a space that can accommodate different faiths—but still be open to nonreligious uses—is a beneficial step from the committee’s report

for the to take. Multicultural groups have legitimate concerns when they say that their members are unwelcome at the institution they attend. However, creating hew inequities will not solve this problem. Cultural issues run deeper than space, and this one committee could not have solved every problem, regardless ofthe solutions it could have proposed. Continuing dialogue and discussion on issues broader than that of space alone remains the constructive way to address these issues.

John Bush If the football officials of the Atlantic Coast Conference had traded places with Pop Warner league organizers during last

season, Duke football would have represented a model program and coach Bobby Bowden of the Florida State Seminoles would have been fired. In real life, the Blue Devils lost to the Seminoles 63-14. As things were, the kids were the ones who faced the upside-down world. Last December, the 13- and 14-year old Sundevils of Florida decimated the Marshall Height Bisons, 56-6, to bring the team their second consecutive Pop Warner championship. In response, Pop Warner organizers, whose leagues are composed of roughly 300,000 youths, removed the Sundevil coach, a 10-year veteran in the youth league. The league dismissed him for not living up to its emphasis upon sportsmanship because he did not slow down his team’s pace as their lead in the championship game grew. The coach, who insists that he lived up to the standards by playing his entire 26-player roster and only running six passing plays—meaning that his team had to rely on more difficult means to score—recently sued to reverse his dismissal. A similar trend to avoid having clear winners and losers is apparent in renewed attempts to remove dodgeball as a sanctioned playground activity. To opponents of the game, it pits child against child in a violent manner. One-by-one, each child is tagged and eliminated from game—thus lowering the self esteem of the non-winners. Opponents suggest that activities where everyone is on the same side present a more positive influence. Feelings have replaced results as the focus of youth athletics. Baseball, basketball and other sports have not been immune. In some leagues, keeping score is not important, and even in those leagues that do, the score may not carry beyond the game into standings. Being in last place might hurt some poor kid’s feelings and make him a less productive member of society, or at least, this reasoning appears to be operating in the minds of such athletic organizers. Where a 50-point football victory might once have been a positive sign of a well-trained, disciplined and motivated team, today, parity is the desire. At some point long ago, someone came up with the idea that a constructive youth athletics program meant that no child would

and losers

ever feel bad about the game. Somehow competition—and with it the opportunity to claim victory—was interpreted to be the antithesis of a positive experience. Needless to say, the notion contains flaws. Which positive feeling would leave a more positive lasting impact on a child: making a good play in a meaningless game or making a good play in away that contributed to victory? Pretending that the kids do not realize that some players are better than others, adults are the ones who have shown immature ignorance. Lost in the rabid desire to avoid bad feelings is the power that negative emotions can have. Sometimes a dropped pass or a booted ground ball is necessary to motivate improvement. Sometimes a player needs to believe that his performance really is not

fine and that he must work to hone his skills. Letting everyone wallow in complacency from what is erroneously interpreted as a satisfactory performance, does not present a productive alternative. Too often discussion reverts to focusing upon the alleged dark side of youth sports.

Because success often comes from aggressive play, some suggest that athletics fosters violence. Such arguments ignore that the rules in sports often exist to distinguish between acceptable behavior and activities that could seriously harm others. Competition provides the basis for character building that sports provide. When the U.S. women won the World Cup several years ago, many quickly sung the praises of how sports taught girls lifelong lessons of

hard

work, discipline

and

teamwork.

Removing competition from sports takes away these values. Maybe no competition is actually an alternative means of “leveling

the playing field.” The real world is a rough place where people are not always on the same side. Perhaps the people behind anti-competition efforts are nobly trying to change this harshness globally. However, the only change evoked is a generation of children numbed to competition. If left to think that competition is something to avoid, then these children are at the mercy of not only previous generations but also to those children—both American and foreign—who avoided this brainwashing and have learned to compete on and off the field. In the real sports world, teams like the Seminoles do beat their opponents by wide margins. Those numbers at the end of the game separate the best from everyone else. Competition inspires change; emotions

evoke reflection. Both have their places and both have their results.

Of manufacturers to sell their comparaDiplomatic cal jobs, for which U.S. professionals are passport Pavel Molchanov It has been said that nothing is more unfashionable than a fashion that is out of fashion. Following this logic, it seems that the most unfashionable ideology in the world must be the so-called neoliberal movement, which views economic globalization as public enemy number one. The movement goes by many names and has many subgroups, some of which often like nothing more than to sabotage their opponents... er, allies. All of them,

course, the majority of protesters did respect police regulations, but the small number who were less courteous managed to disrupt the lives of Quebec City’s residents seriously, not the conference. Moreover, most tactics of the demonstrators were downright pointless and ineffectual. One wonders what purpose could possibly be served by attempting to bring down the computer servers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Cisco Systems, Inc., whose sole guilt was pro-

viding security and technological assistance to the conference. If the goal were to publicize the plight of the Third World’s poor, the only thing such actions publicized is the protesters’ own stupidity. But merely criticizing how the though, have this in common: They came to the picturesque town of Quebec activists protested does not tell the City in Canada and for a few short days whole story. Their reason for protesting is so mind-boggling and ridiculous.

The enormous wealth generatunder clouds of tear gas. ed since World War II is largely a result Let’s first analyze the absurd tactics of of nations opening up their borders to these so-called demonstrators. They were competition, encouraging exports and violent, to be sure. Over 80 people were imports. There are winners and losers injured as the crowd attacked law in free trade, of course. When the gov-

tively cheap VCRs and stereos in the

US., American consumers benefited from lower prices and higher quality, while General Electric and Magnavox saw their profits decline. Competition forced these US. firms to reengineer their production for greater efficiency, so in the long run, even they are better off than before. Improving production conflicts with the favorite line of protectionists that “American jobs are being shipped abroad.” Strictly speaking, there is some truth to that. Low-skill manufacturing in the apparel industry, for instance is cheaper in Mexico and Latin America, and it is no secret that Nike and the Gap will continue to subcontract operations there, with or without FTAA. But just as firms gradually leave our country, others begin operations here. This is espe-

still very much sought after. It goes without saying that competition will cut prices for consumers everywhere. The protesters in Quebec made some valid points. There is a substantial gap between the haves—U.S. and Canada—and the have-nots—the rest of the hemisphere. There should have been greater consultation with NGOs and civil-society institutions in the drafting of the final treaty. Provisions in FTAA that threaten environmental standards and workers’ rights are highly suspect and require further review, and I suspect that such review will come. In general, though, this treaty is a step on the road toward greater prosperity for all people of the Americas, a road that we surely must take. Pavel Molchanov is a Trinity junior.

Idiocy governing alcohol Off the record and on the QT Martin Bama When it comes to alcohol, North Carolina’s laws and policies read like they were authored by a drunk. Tuesday, I was at Harris Teeter buying some groceries. When I reached the automated checkout—the smartest addition to grocery stores since shopping carts—the placard read something akin to: “When purchasing alcohol we reserve the right to check ID of all members of your party. Thanks for your cooperation.” Well, you spoke too soon on thanking me because I am not going to cooperate. Pardon? I don’t remember that part of the law —the part that presumed guilt by association. If you are 21, you get to buy and consume alcohol. If you are not 21, you do not get to buy or consume alcohol. Is there a law on the books barring the sale of alcohol to 21-year-olds when a 19-year-old is watching? The reality is when you have your Booze-mitzvah, there is an implicit feeling of trust that the govern ment is placing in you; when you reach 21, the government trusts you to consume and purchase alcohol responsibly. Even if the ideal is seldom realistic (note how many frat boys will have a case of beer on their 21st or how many people will do something as ignorant as trying to down 21 shots of tequila), the law is clear—2l-year-olds have a right to buy alcohol. No grocery chain has the right to stand in the way. This trampling on the rights of 21-year-olds is quite egregious. The store has no liability for selling alcohol to a 21-year-old purchaser, even if he was accompanied by

a crowd of unruly infants. When the store checks the purchaser’s ID, it has has fulfilled its legal obligation. Why the extra stipulation? The answer is private moralizing in a (thankfully) secular state. Harris Teeter is not alone in carrying out this war against underage watching. Some Food Lion stores use the same silly policy. Drop the excessive moralizing— North Carolinians receive plenty. Then again, that change would remove less than half ofthe state’s foolishness when it comes to mixing alcohol laws and common sense. In nearly every North Carolina county, there are archaic statutes on the books prohibiting the sale of alcohol in some way on Sunday. In Durham County, alcohol cannot be purchased before noon on Sunday. You can buy it up until 2 a.m. Saturday night, which

Is there a law on the books barring the sale of alcohol to 21 -year-olds when a 19-year-old is watching? is technically Sunday, but that little distinction does not affect the culture police. In other counties, you cannot buy hard liquor on Sundays, but you can buy enough beer and wine to render hapless the effects of hard liquor. I wonder if this might be viewed as religious discrimination—shouldn’t Orthodox Jews be incensed at the sale of alcohol on Saturday, their holy day of the week? Granted, North Carolina is not alone when it comes to Sunday restrictions; near my home county in Michigan, a strange provision bars the sale of beer and

wine on Sunday, but permits the trafficking of hard liquor on the Sabbath. That’s my kind of county! And even if North Carolina trimmed down the moralizing laws, there still would be the issue of North Carolina’s most ridiculous law —the ban on direct importation of beer and wine from other states. Ordering beer or wine directly over the Internet is a Class I felony in this state. This law may seem like another misguided attempt at moralizing, but it really is more like a guided attempt to protect in-state wholesale liquor distributors from being cut out of the mark-up equation. A chief proponent ofthe law was State Rep. Leo Daughtry, a coowner of one of the state’s largest alcohol distributors. Duke Professor of Law Donald Beskind has filed suit against the state, asserting that this overreaching North Carolina law is a violation of the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. According to Beskind, “North Carolina’s law makes no sense. Consumers have to buy wine that has been marked up three times—once by a winery, once by a North Carolina distributor and once by the wine store. Without the protectionist law, at least the wine stores could buy directly from the wineries, cutting out the middleman’s mark-up. Even better, consumers could buy directly from the winery, cutting out two mark-ups.” Not surprisingly, the state has rebutted Beskind’s argument, saying that the 21st Amendment—the repeal of prohibition—permits states to regulate alcohol. Did that amendment also permit states to stop interstate commerce for the sake of greedy state representatives? I wish Beskind luck but worry about his chances. Debating foolish alcohol regulations with North Carolina is like being this visiting team at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Idiotic alcohol laws are the state’s home court.

Wachovia Chair Bud Baker described SunTrust’s $13.7 billion acquisition proposal—which is higher than First Union’s $12.9 billion offer—as a “hostile” bid. SunTrust challenged Wachovia’s decision in court Wednesday, filing suit to block Wachovia and First Union from using a breakup fee to prevent other banks from bidding for Wachovia. Philip Humann —the chair, president and chief executive officer of SunTrust—said the bank would continue its campaign to convince Wachovia shareholders to vote against the merger with First Union.

Couldn’t you take the elevator? The large crane that consumed the Chapel Quadrangle Tuesday removed the old elevator from the tower, part of an ongoing renovation of the lift. Since January several companies have been working to repair the aging elevator, which in recent years has been used mainly by the carillonneur. The project is expected to be completed in August. The new elevator will not translate to visitor access, however. Sandra McNutt, director of development and administration for the Chapel, cited an order by the state insurance commissioner declaring the tower too dangerous. Elevator use will be limited to special occasions and business. Until the new elevator is installed, the the carillonneur will have to climb the 240 winding steps.

He added that Princeton University has such an agreement with its local government and emphasized that Duke should give Durham as much as it can. But Trask said Duke does not want to consider such payments. “We want to be careful that we’re not willing to get in the discussion about payment in lieu of taxes,” he said. “We are not willing to be taxed on the basis that we have money.”

� SCHOOL BOARD from page 5 As far as race relations on the board are con-

cerned, Denlinger’s forthcoming Hillside decision and the issue ofher bonus could not have come at a worse time, said Kathryn Meyers, chair of the school board. “It’s unfortunate that the timing of the evaluation of the superintendent coincides with some sensitive personnel issues,” she said. Present at almost every school board meeting since before Denlinger was made superintendent, Lavonia Allison, chair ofthe Durham Committee for the Affairs of Black People, recently prompted the school board to take the official step of prohibiting personal verbal attacks from public comment. During a board meeting earlier this month, Allison verbally attacked Scott; following the meeting, she allegedly physically attacked the school board member. “That was at the result of the comments that were made at that meeting which created a situation which led to a physical confrontation,” Meyers said. “[The ban on personal attacks] is an effort not to stifle public comment but to make it civil.” Noting that Allison’s message was honest and extremely valuable, Robinson said that Allison should reconsider her presentation. “We have a critical need to show each other respect,” she said. “What needs to happen is some evidence of a plan to address these issues, that will give a message that we are all being heard, not just Dr. Allison.” Allison could not be reached for comment. Some members now feel the racial discord is overflowing into other areas of school board business. “From deciding on a meeting date to a decision to sell school property, there tends to be a real sense of disagreeability on everybody’s part,” Meyers said. Robinson and city council member Floyd McKissick suggested that although public meeting laws would make it almost impossible, mediation or multicultural training could be helpful. “I’ve been disappointed that there has not been a greater spirit ,of cooperation and most importantly, that the school board has not realized that by its action they are contributing to an image in this community,” McKissick said.

Men’s tennis team loses heartbreaker to Georgia 4-3 By BRODY GREENWALD The Chronicle

One of the 4 ATHENS, Ga Georgia greatest comebacks in the his3 Tory of college Duke tennis was derailed early Monday evening when thirdseeded Georgia escaped the NCAA quarterfinals with a nail-biting 4-3 victory following an ankle sprain to Duke’s Joel Spicher. The Bulldogs, who built a seemingly commanding 3-0 lead, had Henry Feild Tennis Stadium in a frenzy after Bo Hodge and Chad Carlson both won their first sets against Duke’s Ramsey Smith and Andres Pedroso at Nos. 2 and 4 singles, respectively. As Duke senior Marko Cerenko maintained control of his match at No. 3 singles, however, the momentum changed dramatically when Smith and Pedroso won their second sets and then secured early breaks of serve in their third sets. With Spicher, Duke’s rock-steady and undefeated No. 5 player, leading Georgia’s Travis Parrott by a set and a break in the second, the Blue Devils merely had to serve out matches on four courts to advance to their first ever Final Four, But as Duke’s three seniors moved closer to drawing the team even at 3-3, an untimely injury befell Spicher when he rolled over his left ankle before his service game at 3-2 in the second set. Spicher’s injury restricted the sophomore to visibly painful movements, and he eventually succumbed 6-7 (6), 7-6 (6), 6-2, snapping his 14-match winning streak, and propelling the.

Duke’s seniors stepped up by winning their singles matches, but these victories were not enough to lead the Blue Devils to victory. ATHENS, Ga. Overshadowed by the unfortunate ankle sprain to Joel Spicher Monday were the three points that Duke did pick up—all three-set victories by the three seniors who have been the team’s heart and soul for four years.

ASSISTANT COACH DAVE HAGYMAS tries to pep up Joel Spicher during Spicher’s third set.

In a gutsy performance, Ramsey Smith, Marko Cerenko and Andres Pedroso picked up the slack when their younger teammates stumbled, grinding out a trio of battles that gave Duke two match points to earn its first trip to the NCAA semifinals. Duke coach Jay Lapidus expressed his pride in his seniors after the disappointing defeat, crediting them with coming through when theBlue Devils were reeling early in their match to Georgia. One by one they silenced the hostile crowd of 3,600 people at Georgia’s Henry Feild Tennis Stadium, starting with an improbable come-from-behind win by Smith over eighth-ranked Bo Hodge, the likely recipient of national freshman of See SENIORS on page 23

4 STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.

Women’s

tennis coach Jamie Ashworth set his Duke 1 postseason lineup a month ago looking ahead to the teams he thought Duke would have to beat to win a national championship. Although she only lost one dual match all season, lOth-ranked Amanda Johnson was moved to the third singles slot in the team’s lineup in favor of 31st-ranked Megan Miller, who Ashworth believed stacked up better against perennial powers Stanford and Florida. In the NCAA quarterfinals last Friday, however, this tactical maneuver proved costly against sixth-seeded Vanderbilt, which shocked the second-ranked Blue Devils 4-1 at the Lincoln Tennis Center. The Commodores, who were playing in their first ever NCAA quarterfinals, eventually lost in the national championship match Monday against Stanford. Johnson crushed her opponent 6-1, 6-0 at No. 3 singles for Duke’s only victory, while Miller struggled to a 6-4, 7-5 defeat at No. 2 singles in the day’s decisive match. With the Blue Devils engaged in tight matches at Nos. 1 and 5 singles that were abandoned when Vanderbilt’s Sarah Riske closed out Miller, a flip-flop of the singles lineup might have lifted Duke into the semifinals against the Georgia Bulldogs. “You [set your lineupl before you see your draw,” Ashworth said. “I think they can both win at either

place. I was thinking game styles against teams we might face, Vanderbilt not being one of them.” Duke began its match by dropping the doubles point as it had one day earlier in a 4-2 victory over 13th-ranked Texas. Unlike their match against the Longhorns, however, the Blue Devils did not rebound by taking four of the six singles matches. Johnson squared the dual match at 1-1 with her one-hour whipping of Vanderbilt’s Jenny Miller, but Duke dug itself one-set deficits on three of the remaining five courts. At No. 6 singles, Hillary Adams squandered a 0-40 service break opportunity that would have tied the first set at 3-3, as the Commodores’ Kelly Schmandt negated Johnson’s victory with a 6-2, 6-2 triumph of her own. Meanwhile, Duke senior Kathy Sell played an uncharacteristically conservative match against unranked Kate Burson, whose 6-1, 6-4 upset provided Vanderbilt with a pivotal win. “The match that was very, very big was Sell’s,” said Vanderbilt coach Geoff Macdonald, who vacated Duke’s head coaching position in 1994 because he felt he could build a similarly strong program at Vanderbilt. “Sell is a warrior. When you look at other teams and other players, you admire her. You respect the way she fights.” But after enduring one of her most miserable sets of the season, the normally vocal Sell lacked the peppiness See WOMEN’S TENNIS on page 23 �

I’m looking forward to working with Coach [Flip] Saunders and my teammates, who are, no doubt, the future of the basketball scene, both in the NBA and internationally. It’s going to be a great experience for me being the young guy on the team, but I’m looking forward to learning from these guys.

Or more specifically, they pole vaulted themselves into the record books. Blue Devil seniors Jillian Schwartz and Seth Benson both claimed the pole vaulting titles at the prestigious event and as a result, both were named All-East for a staggering fifth time during their careers. And in the process, the two pole vaulting champions have initiated what men’s track coach Norm Ogilvie hopes will be a longstanding pole vaulting tradition at Duke. “We’re trying to start [a tradition],” Ogilivie said. ‘We feel that it’s an event that we can attract good students to. For some reason, pole vaulters seem to be bright people—maybe a little crazy, but definitely bright—and they’re attracted to Duke. And the other thing is, we’ve made a commitment to doing that here at Duke.” Schwartz, who vaulted 13.725, not only broke her career best, but also set the ECAC meet record, the William Weaver Stadium record, and the all-time Duke women’s outdoor vaulting record in the 18th annual ECAC event. And if these accomplishments weren’t enough, the Illinois native also qualified for the NCAA Championships, which take place next week in Eugene, Ore. “It’s gotten to be a routine thing for her to win the ECAC championship,” women’s coach Jan Ogilvie said. “She just made it look easy this weekend.... She is clearly the best vaulter on the East coast right now.” Meanwhile, Benson also propelled himself into the Duke track and field history with a vault of 16-8 3/4, which was good enough to win the 125th IC4A competition and tie the Duke school record that he owns. In fact, Benson even eclipsed this mark by vaulting over 17 feet in a practice attempt, but it did not count for the final standings. ‘We’re very happy that Seth concluded his career by winning the biggest meet on the schedule,” Norm Ogilvie said. Benson’s record-breaking performance was indicative of the solid outing of the men’s team throughout the weekend, as the squad finished in 23rd place out of 100 teams, registering 12 points over the weekend. Like his fellow senior Benson, 4xBoo-meter participant Mike McKeever ended his career on a high note, as his Blue Devil relay team, which also includes Casey Reardon, Brendan Wells, and Bill Spierdowis, placed sixth with a time of 7:31.65 on their final heat. Each member of the four-man squad ran faster in the final round than they did in the trials, allowing the team to record the third-fastest 4xBoo time in Blue Devil history. “Mike graduates having run on all three ofthe top 4xBoo’s of alltime—that’s certainly a nice little stat to go out with it,” Norm Ogilvie said. “By earning the All-East honors there, that’s his fifth career All-East honor.” The women’s team was also happy with its overall performance, as it placed 12th in the ECAC with 24, its highest finish in school history. Buoyed by Schwartz’s performance, the Blue Devils excelled in a number of events, including the hepthalon, in which sophomore Jenna Turner broke a school record with a total of 4,827

points, and the triple jump, where sophomore Jodi Schlesinger placed eighth with a top leap of 40-9 172. Most notable, however, was the run of junior Katie Atlas, who placed second in the 1,500meter race with a time of 4:24.42. “Katie’s performance was outstanding,” Jan Ogilvie said. “Although she wanted to run a little bit faster, it’s probably the best racing we’ve seen her do since she came to Duke.”

Brooks prognosticates Duke falls in quarterfinals again sub-par round by Duke MEN’S TENNIS from page 19 Georgia’s closest on its way to the team national championship, which the Bulldogs secured yesterday with a 4-1 win over eighthseeded Tennessee in the NCAA finals. “Obviously it was one of the better matches I think you can be involved in,” Duke coach Jay Lapidus said. “Sometimes fate doesn’t smile on you. It just wasn’t meant to be.” Despite the heavy layer of tape around his left ankle, Spicher served out the two games after his injury to give him a 5-3 lead just as Pedroso closed out his match to tie Duke with Georgia. In Parrott’s subsequent service game, Georgia’s lanky junior fought off two match points and then broke at love to square the second set at 5-5. Spicher never recovered and the closest he came to another match point occurred at 6-6 in the second-set tiebreaker, when Parrott forced a third set with a serve-volley combo into the open court, followed by a contested line call on set point. “It’s always tough to lose match points,” said Spicher, who never gained even footing in the third set after relinquishing a break on a five-deuce service game that put Parrott up 2-1. “I’m not very happy, but you cannot do anything about it now.” After fighting off a break point in the sixth game ofthe final set, Parrott sealed the victory by capitalizing on Spicher’s immobility behind a barrage of chip-and-charge >

through this match,” Georgia coach Manuel Diaz said. “Our guys played with a lot of heart and did everything within their power to fight off a very good Duke team. It took a super-human effort by Travis Parrott to fight exhaustion and dehydration.” For the Blue Devils, who had all of their championship hopes pinned on this season, the loss was even more bitter when coupled with the defeats of Stanford and UCLA, the draw’s two clear-cut favorites. With both Pac-10 powers out of the way, a victory over Georgia would have made Duke the favorite both in a semifinal matchup against seventhseeded Southern Methodist and in a possible championship showdown against the eightseeded Vols.

“Joel had some bad luck with his ankle, but if it wasn’t for that I think we’d still be playing today for a national championship,” Cerenko said yesterday, several hours before Georgia and Tennessee squared off in the finals. . Instead, Duke failed to advance past the

quarterfinals—the annual stumbling block where the Blue Devils have fallen each of the

past three seasons—and now faces a rebuilding season after the graduation of Pedroso, Cerenko and Smith. Meanwhile, rising sophomore Phillip King, who played No. 1 singles for Duke as a freshman this season, may forego his final three years ofeligibility to play on the ATP pro tour. Last weekend, King said he will not make his decision until later this summer. Notes: Duke’s Dave Hagymas was honored yesterday as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association assistant coach of the year.... Duke’s four top players will compete in this weekend’s singles championships, while the team’s top tandem of King and Smith will begin play in the doubles tournament today.

that her teammates fed off of for four years. As Sell tried to hang on in the second set, all of the pressure began to build around court two, where classmate and co-captain Megan Miller relinquished the final five games of the first set following an early 4-1 lead. In the second set, Miller, who dropped the last three service games of her first set, continued to struggle with her serves. Despite breaking Riske’s serve three times in the second set, Miller never capitalized. Riske neutralized her own problems by utilizing a spattering of double faults by Miller to break in four of the five final service games. When Riske again broke to claim a 6-5 edge, she finally closed out Miller and Duke with a booming ace into the comer on the ad-court, causing Ashworth to slump his head to his knees as his tearful senior sat despondently beside him on the bench. “I think in a lot of ways [serving] was really my Achilles’ tendon,” Miller said. “I’ve had trouble with my serves all year. When it really comes down to mental over physical, there are little things that tend to show up even though you don’t want them to.” Ashworth said it was the mental mistakes that plagued all of his players, not just Miller. “I think what hurt us is we haven’t been in a tough match since February,” said Ashworth. “We’ve been getting away with things the last few matches that you can’t get away with against the teams that are here.” Notes: Freshman Ansley Cargill, who yesterday advanced to the quarterfinals of the singles championships, said she is “90 percent” sure she will return to Duke next year rather than play professional tennis.... Sell bowed out of the singles tournament yesterday in the round of 16, while teammates Johnson and Miller lost in the opening round Tuesday afternoon....

the year honors. After Hodge’s booming serves carried him to a 6-3 first-set triumph, Smith rallied behind an explosive array of one-handed backhands and a clear edge in mental toughness that overwhelmed his freshman opponent 6-0 in the final set. On the adjacent court, Cerenko pounced early on high-flying Lesley Joseph, whose tremendous vertical leaps tantalized the crowd with some of the tournament’s most sensational overhead smashes. Although Joseph’s prowess at net helped him take the second set, Cerenko dominated his 19-year-old opponent in the final set by breaking serve in three out of five opportunities. Having catapulted the Blue Devils back into the match, Smith and Cerenko watched on the fourth court as their last remaining classmate dueled through an equally tense contest. As Pedroso, whose remarkable consistency and dangerous backhand gave Georgia’s Chad Carlson fits, fought to solidify his early third-set break, he did so by drawing inspiration from the teammates with whom he has weathered so many storms. “Every point that [Andres] won, he was looking over right at us,” Smith said. “I felt almost like I was out there with him. It was almost like I was playing the match with him.”

By the time Pedroso finished off Carlson, Spicher had already suffered his ankle sprain and given back the serve game that would have taken Duke to the semis. The writing seemed to be on the wall for Duke’s seniors: Their ride was over. It was a difficult message for the three players, who along with senior Ted Rueger represented Duke’s most talented recruiting haul ever back in the fall of 1997, to accept after nearly pulling off a historic comeback. They entered Duke as an eclectic group: Smith, the former model and son of tennis legend Stan Smith; Cerenko, who immigrated to the United States after his family fled his native home of Croatia; and Pedroso, a CubanAmerican who distinguished himself almost as much with his social activism as he did on the tennis court. Together, the trio represented three of the program’s six winningest players ever, tallying a total 0f334 singles victories and far surpassing any class to precede them. After losing to Georgia, Pedroso talked about how he and Smith, roommates for all four of their years at Duke, had stayed up nights since their freshman year dreaming of the championships they would win. Although neither they nor Cerenko will ever bring Duke a national championship banner to hang in Sheffield Tennis Center, their legacy in that building’s halls will not soon fade.

Following months of talk surrounding the fate of the Primate Center, the University has decided to devote more resources to the center—at least in the short term—and will likely not renew the contract of current director Ken Glander once it expires June 30. The long-term fate of the center remains uncertain. The move follows two separate reviews of the Primate Center. “The [latest] review indicated that we’re not getting the most we can from the Primate Center in terms of what teaching and research goes on there,” Lange said. “We would like to see a higher level of engagement.” Lange said that if the flourish, the next director of the center must devote more of his time to administering the center rather than his own research and teaching. Glander, who has directed the center for about 10 years and is also professor of biological anthropology and anatomy, could not be reached for comment. Following the end of his term, the University will appoint an interim director. The University has considered closSee PRIMATES on page 6 �

The agreement includes wage increases of 3.5, 3.25 and 3 percent over the next three years, less than what workers requested but still acceptable, said Henry Loftis, union spokesperson and negotiating committee member. “We still don’t agree with parts of it, but we fought tooth and nail to get over 3 percent for each year of the contract,” said Loftis, who endorsed the final agreement. “We really had to fight.

Terrorist could face death penalty

Death is ‘the only just punishment’ for the 1998 bombing, the prosecutor said By BENJAMIN WEISER

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK After four men were convicted Tuesday of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, a federal prosecutor in Manhattan said Wednesday that execution was “the only just punishment” for one of them. The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, told a jury in U.S. District Court that “the only punishment that does justice for the victims, the only punishment that fits the crime, is the death penalty.” The bombing killed 213 people and

wounded more than 5,000.

Prosecutors told the judge, Leonard Sand, that they would

The prosecutor’s call for the death penalty came on the first day of a sentencing hearing for 24-yearold Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al’Owhali, one of the four men convicted of conspiring with the Saudi exile Osama bin Laden in a terrorism conspiracy against Americans, which included the embassy attacks in Nairobi and Dares Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7,1998. The government also offered testimony from 15 bomb victims, family members and other witnesses, who gave riveting and often emotional accounts of the devastation the bombing left in their lives.

have 15 more witnesses today in their effort to persuade the jury to impose the death penalty, rather than life imprisonment, which is the jury’s only other option at the end of the hearing. After the jury finishes hearing from both sides, it will be asked to weigh aggravating factors—such as Al-’Owhali’s lack of remorse—presented by the government, against mitigating factors offered by the defense—such as evidence that Al-’Owhali was motivated by religious beliefs.

Crime rates stabilize after long decline By KAREN GULLO Associated Press

WASHINGTON

After declining dramatically

over the last several years, violent crimes in America increased marginally in 2000, preliminary FBI crime figures show. Statistics for murders, rapes and other violent crimes last year, which were released Wednesday, represented the first indication that a significant series of decreases in crime in the early 1990s have essentially bottomed out, criminologists said. “I cannot imagine any clearer indication that the crime drop is over,” said James Fox, a professor of crim-

inal justice at Northeastern University. Preliminary figures released by the FBI for last year show that the total of violent crime increased 0.1 percent, while the overall crime index was unchanged from

1999.Experts in the field had attributed the declines of the ’9os to a number of factors, including the maturing of a large teen-age population and a strong economy.

Republicans regularly acknowledged those trends

during the years of the Clinton presidency, but said they believed the trends weren’t directly the result of Democratic policies. Republicans argued, instead, that the declines resulted from tougher enforcement of the law, increased prison capacity and sterner sentences

for repeat offenders. Murders in 2000 fell 1.1 percent compared to 1999, the new FBI figures showed, and robberies dropped 0.7 percent. Forcible rape increased 0.7 percent and aggravated assault rose 0.4 percent. Motor vehicle theft rose 2.7 percent and larceny theft increased 0.1 percent. Although the increases were small, they contrasted sharply with declines recorded in previous years.

Architects plan library changes By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

THAO PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

THE ALPINE ATRIUM will get a facelift this summer. In addition to adding a number of new items to the menu, owner Chris Sullivan plans to build more storage space.

Alpine Atrium to get makeover By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

When students return in three months and walk into the Bryan Center, they will find a newly renovated Alpine Atrium waiting for them on the second floor. Chris Sullivan, owner of the Atrium as well as Alpine Bagels and Brews in the West Union Building, plans a new menu, based on selections from restaurants such as Foster’s Market and Panera Bread Company, to compliment its new look. The changes were approved earlier this week by Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. “We’re moving things around, providing some more storage and that kind of thing,” Sullivan said. “It was originally designed as a coffee bar, not as a restaurant.” The changes come just three years after the cafe was revamped. In addition to new menu items, Sul-

livan’s proposal for the Atrium includes additional space for storage and food preparation. Currently, the food is prepared in the West Union Building and brought to the Bryan Center on trays five or six times per day.

The changes will eliminate some seating in the comer behind the Atrium counter to make room for the increased storage space. The smoothie bar will then be moved to the other side ofthe Atrium with a separate queue for customers. The changes resulted from suggestions made by the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, Sullivan said, but mostly from the need to keep his dining options fresh. “I think the Loop filled a niche on campus that was fresh hot pizza and that kind of thing,” he said. “But if you’re not moving, you’re still going to get run over by the train, whether it’s on campus See ALPINE on page 15 &

Renovation plans for Perkins Library promise to move closer to the non-fiction phase this summer, with architects on campus studying reports by six working groups during the next two weeks. Released earlier this year, the reports emphasize study and work space and flesh out potential solutions to the library’s long-standing space constraints. Using the reports’ findings as well as the Perkins Library Renovation Committee’s vision statement, architects are expected to develop the project’s specific direction by the end of the summer, committee chair Robert Byrd said. “You put all that together and you have a qualitative and quantitative description of what we’re trying to achieve,” Byrd said. The working groups’ representatives included faculty members, library officials, graduate students and undergraduates. From the beginning, the committee has been told that they need not adhere to the current physical limitations of Perkins. The committee and architects will choose from several different options, including renovation of the library’s interior; complete demolition and reconstruction of the interior; and construction of an addition to the library, possibly retiring the oldest stacks. If built, a new addition would likely be located behind the Old Chemistry Building. Regardless of the chosen plan, the project will cost about $5O million, Byrd said. He added that the choice will depend on several factors, including price and the level of disruption to the community. “We know that each of these approaches would give us the space we would need, but they each have different implications for cost and phasing,” he said. When the architects complete their recommendations, the community will have several months to comment while designs are drawn up. One working group specified several possibilities to alleviate the space crunch. Three to four more reading rooms—including one designated for group work and another entirely for quiet study—each with a capacity for 50 to 60 people should be created, according to the report. It also advocated a new cafe, closer to the heart of the library but separate from study space. Carrel space and small work rooms in the stacks should also be included, the report reads. Current study areas can accommodate 1,445 users, but Byrd said that number may be misleadingly high due to the poor design of many spaces. “What we would like to do is create places that are See PERKINS on page 16 >

Cocaine causes weeklong brain activity

Small doses of cocaine can cause biochemical reactions in the brain for as long as a week after consumption, changing how memories are processed and leading to addiction. Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco found that cocaine treatments in mice led to a chain reaction in brain cells and neuron receptors that resulted in the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure. The scientists said this system could explain the ease with which addicts relapse, and may also apply to nicotine and alcohol addictions. •

Human interference increases hybrids

Hybridization of plants, insects and animals is occurring at a far greater rate now than in the past because of human intervention in migration and breeding, biologists say. Scientists fear that in addition to causing decreased genetic diversity, hybrid species could be hunted without explicit protection by environmental laws. Hybridization also poses a conundrum to taxonomists because these species have no natural place on the evolutionary tree. *

Arctic findings suggest global warming

Scientists in the Alaskan Arctic have discovered that shrubs are growing larger and spreading across previously barren territory in the tundra. The findings add to the scientific consensus that the region is gradually getting warmer. Federal researchers combed through archives of aerial photos, comparing new images to those of the same locations taken 50 years ago. Of the 66 aerial photos taken for the study, growth increases were reported in 36 of those images, with the growth of some plants estimated to be as much as 15 percent. •

Study links lead levels to homicide rate

A new study says homicides may be linked to high levels of lead in the air we breathe. Criminologist Peter Stretesky looked at the murder rate between 1989 and 1991 for all 3,111 counties in the continental United States, and then he compared the number of homicides in each county to the amount of lead present in the air. Medical researchers have long known that high lead levels can cause hyperactivity, reduced IQ and impaired growth in children. Stretesky’s research indicates that lead’s legacy may last for years, predisposing some of its victims toward increased aggression and violent crime. News briefs compiled from wire reports.

Therapy may help smokers quit By JENNIFER SONG The Chronicle

A new oral nicotinic solution developed by Duke researchers may provide another means of helping people quit smoking. “We are trying to provide as many [nicotine-replacement] options as possible, so if one doesn’t work then they can try another,” said primary investigator Dr. Eric Westman, associate professor of medicine. “We think this solution will increase the number of people

who stop smoking.” In lieu of smoking, the liquid solution is added with an eyedropper to any beverage, whether it be coffee, tea or even beer, as frequently as the individual has cravings for nicotine. Researchers say that although the philosophy behind the solution is similar to that of nicotine patches and gum, its features are more adaptable to the individual. “Because people choose which beverage the solution will be added in, it allows flexibility that up to now hasn’t been an option in other smoking cessation products,” Westman said. “It provides a built-in dosing flexibility where smokers can adjust the amount of solution added, depending on how heavily they smoke. This way, the product can be adapted to people with different needs,” he said. In addition, liquid nicotine can satiate a craving in roughly five minutes, which Westman said is considerably faster than the release of some other nicotine-replacement tools. For instance, patches are the easiest to use but take several hours for the craving to be relieved. Nicotine-containing chewing gums may actually relieve cravings faster than Westman’s product, but the gum may cause dental problems or sore jaws. Other products like nasal sprays, oral inhalers and tablets, contain inadequate doses of nicotine and may nauseate the user. In concentrated form, the colorless solution “smells like an ashtray” but is tasteless when properly diluted in most drinks, Westman said.

LIQUID NICOTINE is a solution that can be added to beverages to help people stop smoking. It delivers nicotine faster than other smoking cessation products currently available and has proven to be equally effective in preliminary studies. the public. But preliminary studies There are also benefits to incorporating the nicotine replacement system in seem promising. an everyday activity. “By putting the soOf the 25 people included in the pilot 20 percent successfully quit beverage, study, a familiar smokers lution in smoking within six months, a rate comoccupy themselves with a familiar beparable to the success rates of other havior,” said Westman. commercial products currently available “Although nicotine is the most important part of the addiction, we can for smoking cessation.

to State prepares new district lines come to Duke From staff reports

ARAMARK Corp. will officially assume operation of eight dining facilities at Duke July 1, following the University’s signing of a contract with the Philadelphia-based food services company earlier this week. The five-year deal will privatize the last dining locations managed by Dining Services, including The Great Hall, the Cambridge Inn and the Oak Room on West Campus and the Marketplace and Trinity Cafe on East Campus. “This partnership bodes well for students, faculty and staff,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said in a statement. “ARAMARK brings the resources, food service training and culinary leadership that will ensure the dining experience at Duke remains at the forefront of colleges and universities across the nation.” ARAMARK, which sparked heated debate among students in the spring, was supported by Duke Student Government in a resolution. The company will make changes to the menus and provide more job training for employees, which Duke does not have the resources to conduct, said Dining Services Director Jim Wulforst. “It has always been my goal to serve high quality food that is competitively priced and served in a friendly, customer-focused fashion,” Wulforst said. “ARAMARK will help us do just that.”

From staffand wire reports Now that the 2000 census results are in, the General Assembly is busy redrawing lines for the state’s congressional districts and figuring out how best to add another. A proposal for the state redistricting is expected to pass in July and will be used in the upcoming 2002 congres-

sional elections.

Republican legislators have p laid out a proposal that would JSRIEFS most significantly change

boundaries involving the Piedmont and Sandhills. But Democratic legislators oppose the plan, claiming that it concentrates Democratic voters into just a few districts. Currently, Republicans control seven of 12 seats. Under their plan, Democrats claim Republicans would take nine of 13 seats. The House has already held one meeting concerning redistricting, but the Senate has yet to discuss the

topic formally. Committees in both bodies will take a closer look at the situation in early June.

Senate proposes tax increase amid protest;

During one of the worst budget crises in state history, the Senate preliminarily passed a $14.7 billion budget proposal Wednesday, which included a $l9O million tax increase and spending cuts in a variety of areas. A final vote will take place today. The 35-15 party-line vote —with all Republican senators opposing the budget—angered hundreds of protesters outside the Capitol, who were upset about the proposed closings of the Eastern School for the Deaf in Wilson and the School for the Deaf in Morganton. Sen. Bill Martin, D-Guilford, admitted those closings will be difficult but said lawmakers intend to develop a $6O million fund to help many people with disabilities enter community-based programs. Programs for the mentally ill would also lose $1.5 million in funding. See N.C. NEWS on page 7 %*■

In 1975, for example, the program nearly shut down due to lack of funding. But it has remained open and now holds the world’s largest collection of lemurs and other prosimian primates. John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, echoed Lange’s sentiment, citing

the review, which remains confidential. “The center seems to have gotten fairly far from that research mission over time,” Burness said. “The review really said, ‘lt’s time for Duke to really decide what it wants to do with the Primate Center.’” Lange declined to speculate on whether the center could succeed in the long term or whether dander’s departure as director could signal its closing in the near future. “We hope to be able to continue the Primate Center, but at some point we have to decide if it’s contributing to the intellectual life of the University,” Lange said.

When the most recent review—conducted by internal faculty members began last fall, speculation about the long-term prospects ofthe Primate Center cropped up again among professors and students. As the institute’s future remains in doubt, however, the University has committed far greater resources to branches of the natural sciences that appear more —

Slowing economy, Floyd cleanup strain budget � N.C. NEWS from page 5

The slowing of the economy, coupled with increased emergency spending on the Hurricane Floyd disaster and increased school enrollment, contributed to the current budget crisis. At the same time, higher medical costs forced North Carolina to spend an additional $6OO million on the state employees’ health plan. “We made do with less, we set priorities and we made every penny count,” said Sen.

at the Moulin Rouge is a night well spent; Moulin Rouge is easily one of the best movies of the year. In the words of SNL's Will Ferrell, "It is so good, there are not words to describe its brilliance. So, I will make up a word 1 will call it scrumptulescent." Moulin Rouge is a movie, a musical and a play all rolled into one with original songs as well as new renditions of songs from the current top 40. At the turn of the century, Moulin Rouge was a Paris nightclub where men came from around the world to see scantily clad dancing women. Henri Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo) captured images of the club in his paintings. Nicole Kidman —who plays Satine, the leading lady of the Moulin Rouge —has a singing voice surprisingly just as beautiful as she is. Satine falls in love with Christian (Ewan McGregor). McGregor has an equally pleasing voice which we hear in the first scene, when he belts out "The Sound of Music." Not surprisingly, the theme of the play is love, best summarized by the film's tagline—"The greatest uKAIIe. thjpg yo U '|| ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return." It is easy to think such a theme would lend itself to cheesiness, but Kidman and McGregor never give room for that. Their flawless performances will move the hardest of hearts—there was not a dry eye in the house. The story grabs you in the first second and your eyes are glued to the screen until the lovely, heroic ending. The music in the Moulin Rouge is being advertised as the stuff of MTV, but I guarantee you've never seen these songs like this on MTV before —except for that new rendition of Lady Marmalade. For example, Madonna's "Like a Virgin" is sung by men as a description of Kidman's faux-feelings, and after the initial recognition of "Hey, that's Madonna!" the song fits perfectly within the script. Most of the songs in the movie either contain intertwined lines from various songs and writers or are songs

the screen. The sets are so precise and magical it is difficult to imagine how such feats were accomplished on film. The colors and details in every inch of space give the film a fairy tale-like quality. Director Baz Luhrmann was criticized when he released his hip, modern Romeo and Juliet ior making a classic into MTV trash; a critic would be hard pressed to say the same of Moulin Rouge—despite its clear MTV influence. Moulin Rouge is a great love story—and if you've ever fallen in love or even just thought about love—this film will give the word new a meaning. □

Miss September, Danny DeVito and a private jet. Thank God it's only rated PG-13. When they team up in What's the Worst That Could Happen?, DeVito and Martin Lawrence reaffirm that a few one-liners and a couple of entertaining action scenes are more than enough for success at the summer box office. If you're anything like us, you'll appreciate the gay jokes, the blatant mockery of foreign cultures and Lawrence's references to the size of his "pro bono." Then again, you may have class. There's really not much more to this action comedy than that. Things get rolling when a fly honey named Amber (Carmen Ejogo) goes home with Kevin Caffery (Lawrence), our kleptomaniac star who woos her with his GRADE: knowledge of precious art. Like us, Kevin does not have much money and he is not too bright—l plus 6.5 apparently equals 21.5—but he sure has charm. "I couldn't buy you that painting, but I can buy you a cup of coffee," he tells Amber, who gives Kevin much sex and her father's $5 ring after he steals the aforementioned painting and her heart. At this point, our endearing crook seems to be on his way to a happily-ever-after ending, but that's when he and business partner Berger (John Leguizamo) try to make a hit on the beach house of billionaire Max Fairbanks (DeVito). As the two robbers catch Max in the act with Miss September, the recently bankrupt business tycoon robs Kevin of his Cracker Jack ring. Max and Kevin begin a rather amusing 90-minute pissing contest, refusing to yie one can claim dominance—and the wortl piece of finger jewelry. Along for the wild ride are a few vindic tive women, a transgendered detective and a security chief who has the personality of G. Gordon Liddy and the sexual preference of J. Edgar Hoover. All of this kept us mildly entertained while we learned that the rules and the playmates always bend for rich people—even when they look like DeVito. —By Brody Greenwald and Kevin Lee

The 'racist' references to the Japanese that so insulted Barna's sensibilities were entirely justifiable at that time in history. Too bad Pearl Harbor is as historically accurate as the 1962 Irish space "

shuttle landing on the Sun. "... The fact that it doesn't present a

liberalized, politically correct version of America's view of the Japanese during that era should be commended...." The film doesn't really present any American view of the Japanese—it just treats them as slow-talking, Confucius-sound-a-like simpletons. "Has Barna's Duke education taught him anything about the atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese during theirruthless conquests preceding and during World War II? ....Perhaps a history course is in order next semester." Actually, two history courses are order next semester—Barna is a in history major and will be completeing his A.B. with courses in Greek and Afro-Brazilian History. Perhaps the author should take a film appreciation course. Jf

got to respect this. After being royally panned by critics and radio stations in 1996, Weezer disappears for five years. Then, instead of producing a self-reflective manifesto to defend and legitimize their silence, they offer a mere 28 minutes of the nerd rock that made us mosh to our algebra homework. And amazingly, even to the band themselves—after all these years—they have had a large cult following emerge from the woodwork to sell out last winter's pre-album tour and gobble up the album now that it's been released. Maybe it's lead singer and former Harvard student Rivers Cuomo's Blurlike, dweebish awkwardness that kept the fans around. Or perhaps it's the band's evacuation of Pinkerton, the band's spastic techno-influenced effort that garnered Rolling Stone's worst album of 1996 honors. Weezer is not shy about staying close to their debut album stylistically. Superficially, both records are eponymously titled 1/Veezerand basically brandish the same cover—the only major difference is that the background is now lime not turquoise, earning the two albums the monickers "The Green Album" and "The Blue Album." But the similarities go beyond the cover. Following the pattern of TBA's crunchiest songs, the majority of TGA is powered by churning guitars and simple, but addictively catchy, hooks. "Crab" is built around never-ending punk guitar chords and is reminiscent of "Surf Wax USA" with marginally less silly lyrics. "Crab if you need it/she put her knickers on," the song urges. The album's high points include "Photograph," "Simple Pages" and "Hash Pipe," the lead single that MTV found too risque to leave uncensored. This is unfortunate because "Hash Pipe" is a charmingly witty little rant that grinds and

SINCE 1994 Weezer has grown closer as a band and lead singer Rivers Cuomo has come up with enough nickles to purchase his very own guitar. squeaks itself out over ominous, rhythmic guitars that make you think Jaws is going to tear through your stereo and into your living room. "Come on and kick me/you've got your problems/!'ve got my ass wide/you've got your big G's/I've got my hash pipe," Cuomo rails. Unfortunately on TGA the band really doesn't challenge itself to get much beyond their rather formulaic songs—at least not like they did in the cult classic "Undone (The Sweater Song)." Don't get me wrong; with the possible exception of the sappy "0 Girlfriend," each song on this record is very listenable and a few of them rival the band's best tunes. But collectively, the songs sound too much the same. In away it's a good thing that Weezer doesn't make albums much longer than they do, or TGA would be incredibly exhausting and rather monotonous. Thankfully, Weezer, unlike Limp Bizkit, whose latest offering bluthers on for about 75 minutes, realize their own limits—and the fans love them for it. □

Smart increase

the recently proposed budget, Interim Durham City Manager Greg Bethea announced plans to raise tax collections by almost 5 percent in order to pay off bond debt, perform basic maintenance of city buildings and hire 42 additional firefighters. These targets are both appropriate and necessary. Bethea has made clear that Durham needs the additional funds in order to pay off voter-approved bonds from 1990 and 1996 and also to maintain city facilities like City Hall and the Armory. Durham residents should be willing to pay for these basic obligations. In addition, the proposed increases would ensure that the Durham Fire Department meets new national standards by providing revenue to hire new fighters. These new firefighters will help reduce response time—something that could save lives and reduce property damage. Collecting more taxes from residents is a small consequence for this significant benefit. But the city should beware of unnecessary spending, particularly in the case of the parking deck for the American Tobacco project. Part of the tax increase would fund the deck, despite the fact that American Tobacco has shown little progress. Although city support is important for the success of the project, city officials should be weary ofplacing greater burden on taxpayers if it shows little sign of success in the future. Aside from this caveat, the proposed tax increase pays for necessary services that benefit all Durham residents and should be endorsed by Durham officials.

Wrong place for race

Racial

tensions have defined the tenure of Superintendent Ann Denlinger, whom the Durham Public School Board selected in 1997 in a 4-3 racially split vote. Since then, many other board votes have remained separated along racial lines as the same people on both sides continue their bickering. Many ofthe board’s black members feel they have been shut out of discussions. And if accusations that white board members privately discussed whether to remove Hillside High School Principal Richard Hicks—who faced accusations this year that he tampered with a student’s grades—are true, they have a valid complaint. No matter who is to blame for this situation, everyone needs to act to improve the environment. Recently granted a contract extension—in another racially split vote—Denlinger is not leaving anytime soon.

The superintendent herself should try harder to follow through on a 1997 pledge to improve racial tensions. White board members should be more aware ofthe concerns oftheir colleagues. And black board members must do the same. They should unify behind the goal of providing the children in the school system with the best education possible. The board should be embarrassed that this controversy is brewing in a place where senseless prejudice should be absent. Race should not be a divisive issue that affects the education of children in Durham. Adults should stop acting like children and start working for them.

Duke may change wage structure Atrium plans broader menu

P- UNION from page 1

and a day off for community service—wages have dominated negotiations since they began in mid-April. Maintenance workers had sought to reach parity with their counterparts at Duke Hospital, who average about $2 more per hour and work under an incentive-based system. Wages for Local 465 workers are based on skill and seniority. A merit system may still be in the works, said John Bumess, Duke’s senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “There will be, as I understand it, discussions over the next year to see if agreement can be reached in the long term on systems similar to those in the Medical Center,” he said. In general, however, Bumess expressed satisfaction with the outcome ofthe negotiations. “It is the nature of labor negotiations that they tend to go down to the last minute, almost invariably” he said. “But in the end both sides found away to reach an agreement that would serve the needs of everyone. I don’t think either side ever wants to start thinking about strikes.” Neither party speculated on what would have happened if the proposal had not passed, but Loftis had said earlier that extended negotiations with a moderator would have been likely. Aside from pay increases, the union sought to secure as many as 36 hours of paid community service each year. Such benefits became unrealistic, Loftis said, when University negotiators introduced concerns about attendance and supervision. Burness said paid community service is also complicated by the need to have Medical Center employees on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “We’ve never really been able to work out a consistent University policy on community service days because you can’t just do it for the campus workers,” he said. Before holding the vote, members ofthe union’s negotiating committee addressed the workers on a range of issues. Each endorsed the proposal, while citing a need for greater unity and participation ofall members. “We might have gotten a little more if everyone

Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said the competition among privatized vendors is good for them and for Duke as well, characterizing the attitude among the eateries as aggressive. “There’s competition all around. We’ve built a

showed support,” said committee member Ronnie Wilkerson. “We need to have one union with everyone involved if we ever want to stand up to them.” Of the approximately 120 members in the local, just over half attended the vote and about 50 gathered for a meeting May 21. Loftis added, however, that the experience did improve communication with the administration. “It’s gotten to the point where, when we’re working, they’re not showing us any respect. We talked about that, and I think they heard us,” Loftis said.

healthy, competitive environment,” he said. The proposal lists eight new items, including two salads and four new sandwiches, ranging from Asian pasta salad to Italian panini and fresh mozzarella sandwiches. Despite Sullivan’s plans, it is a comparatively quiet summer for Dining Services; no major privatized eateries are moving out. Wulforst said that the Oak Room will finally make several needed changes, including added lighting, a better look and more menu options. In addition, the Oak Room will be open until 10 p.m. weekdays this fall, two hours later than in years past. With ARAMARK moving in July 1, the eateries previously run by Dining Services, such as The Great Hall and the Marketplace, will be revamped, with menu changes and additional training for employees.

Program helps youths succeed � PARTNERS from page 6 tutor to a “sister and a sweetheart,” someone she could take trips with or just go to for advice. Little’s fondest memory was a weekend trip in the spring to Washington, D.C. when she and the other students toured the Capitol and met Rep. David Price, D-N.C. Little’s community and high school mentors helped her with perhaps the most challenging part ofher senior year—looking at colleges. They read applications, helped with financial aid forms and prepared her for the SAT, she said. Little will attend North Carolina Central University in the fall. Beyond helping students meet their academic challenges, Partners for Youth emphasizes personal growth. Mentors make themselves available for help with anything, including advice on relation-

ships and family. “You could be very open with them, tell them what’s on your mind. They were just like a friend,” participant Jennifer Crawford said. “You learn respect, and to appreciate a lot of things other people take for granted. It really helps you to grow.” For mentor Thomas Breeze, finding common ground was essential to making a difference. “We had a lot of the same interests going in, like we both practice the same martial art, and that made things a lot easier,” Breeze said.

BOOK OVERCROWDING has caused library officials to considering moving more books to off-site storage. They hope to alleviate graduate student and researcher concerns by improving delivery services.

destinations, that people really wantto go to work and study” Byrd said. Space allocation for books—not just people—has proved to be one of the most contentious issues in the renovation process. Professors and other researchers are concerned that relocating books to offsite locations would make too many resources less accessible. The renovation committee hopes to alleviate these concerns by enlarging on-site stack space, prioritizing which books are kept in Perkins and improving delivery from off-site stacks.

“There are substantial materials here that are not frequently used and do not need to be readily at hand,” said Byrd, also the director ofthe Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library. “If we don’t remove some volumes now, we won’t have

space for the addition of new collections.” The working group that studied stack space suggested increasing total capacity by 375,000 volumes and moving 410,000 volumes off site. This would cut Perkins’ current percentage offilled space from 91 to 60 percent, under the expectation that with additions it will rise to 80 percent in 10 years. Byrd said that would require adding about 75,000 square feet

of shelf and work space—the equivalent of about three floors of the newer library stacks. The group noted, however, that the new space and the number ofvolumes moving to storage could fluctuate depending on how else new space is used. If the Film and Video Collection were to move to Perkins from Lilly Library, for instance, less stack space would be available.

Dog-bitten: Duke falls short in NCAAs to UGa. By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

HOWE Y-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. After two straight days with a grasp on the top slot, the No. 1 women’s golf team fell apart. Shooting for their second national championship in three years, Duke took a fourstroke lead into the final day over Georgia, but an uncharacteristic 7-over-par start on the first three holes erased Duke’s lead, and the Blue Devils found themselves in the unusual position of second place. They were never able to recover and eventually lost by three strokes to the Bulldogs at the women’s NCAA championship at Mission Inn Golf Resort. “They fought hard,” said Duke coach Dan Brooks. “We lost a lot of shots early in the round, but then settled down and played hard. We’ve won a lot and been in the lead all year, so I figured we would get a few strokes back and that Georgia would falter a bit, but they didn’t. We needed to play better at the beginning. I don’t know why we didn’t play our normal golf, but we didn’t for one-eighth ofthe round and that’s just the game.” The only one of the Blue Devils to shoot under par on the final day was junior Candy Hannemann, who finished with a 3-under 69 and tied for first place in the individual standings. Hannemann eventually beat Arizona’s Lorena Ochoa by hitting a six-foot putt in the sudden death playoff to take home individual medalist honors. “I started birdie, par, par, birdie, so I thought everything was going great,” -

Hannemann said. “I was a little surprised when I saw the scoreboard. There are so many tough holes out there, and things can change so fast, so I didn’t panic at all.” Even though Hannemann was having one of the best rounds of the tournament, the rest of the Blue Devils were simply off. Virada Nirapathpongporn, who had anchored the team with a solid dose of pars, shot a 3-over 75. Kalen Anderson was also at 75, which tied her best round of the tournament, but was by no means as low as she would have liked. And, Kristina Engstrom, who fired an even-par 72 earlier in the week, finished with a 7-over 79. “Going into it we knew had to fight hard no matter where we stand,” Anderson said. “Unfortunately we had to fight really hard really quickly. Like Coach said, that is just the way golf is. It wasn’t as easy for us today as it could have been.” The problems of freshman Leigh Anne Hardin also added to the Blue Devils’ finalround difficulties. The Indiana native started feeling ill after the Blue Devils’ third round and, as a result, most of her night before the finals was sleepless. The illness definitely affected her final round, forcing her to shoot a week-high 78. “I think it affected her some,” Brooks said of Hardin’s illness. “She was actually having a little wave of that stuff early when she hit a drive on the first hole outof-bounds. It is hard to say how much of an effect it had on her—sometimes you play better when you’re sick because you don’t See WOMEN’S GOLF on page 19 �

Eleven teams not going to have shots running shot 10-over par or worse, and many of through the fairway into the rough.” While Lein hopes his team can the players commented after the round mount a challenge to tournament that the course was very demanding. “The course is playing really well,” leader and in-state rival Arizona Olson said. “The rough is very thick and is tomorrow, he knows that sitting in 19th playing like the U.S. Amateurs. [The long place is hardly an ideal position for grass] just grabs your club, so I think making a comeback. And in the indistaying in the fairway is so huge. I bet if vidual competition, Duke’s Olson will you look at the guys who were under par have a similar up-hill struggle to make today, they didn’t miss many fairways.” the cut. Nevertheless, the former U.S. Arizona State coach Randy Lein Junior Ryder Cup team member voiced similar sentiments, despite the believes that his familiarity with the fact that his team, like Olson, struggled course could yield some positive secthroughout the round. According to ond-round results. “I still think I have an advantage Lein, the wet conditions ofthe first day had both positive and negative effects playing this course,” Olson said. “It is on the quality of the participants’ play. just like playing the course I am used “I think its a great venue for a to; they just souped it up a little bit.”

Hannemann named year’s Women’s golf loses 4-stroke top golfer after NCAA win lead on final day of NCAAs &

HANNEMANN from page 1

in the country and the one person ahead of Hannemann for the women’s NCAA championship individual title, had tried a similar shot earlier in the week, but, like many others, ended with her ball making a splashing sound as it hit the water. But after consulting coach Dan Brooks for a few minutes, Hannemann decided that going for the green in two would be the correct move. Hannemann stepped up, took a few practice swings and crushed the ball straight between the trees, over the water and onto the green, leaving her with an eagle putt of about 40-feet out. Although she missed it and had to twoputt the hole, the bold call thatresulted in a birdie on 17 and eventually a final-day score of 69 also placed her in a playoff with Ochoa for individual honors. “At first I wanted to know how I was doing because I usually check the scoreboard,” Hannemann said. “Then coach [Brooks] asked me if I wanted to know on 17.1 didn’t care about the individual race, [I cared about the team].” Once the playoff began that night at 7 p.m., Hannemann finished right where she left off, sinking a six-foot putt for par to beat Ochoa and claim individual medalist honors. The freshman Wildcat misread the greens after a long rain delay and sent a 25-foot putt long, leaving her 10-feet from the pin. Hannemann hit her six-footer to win the tournament—a victory that also netted

her the Honda Award for best women’s golfer in the country later in the week. The win was the second of the year for Hannemann, who went into the tournament ranked No. 2 in the country. She had also finished in a tie for first at the Wildcat Invitational, only to lose a onehole playoff to Ochoa when the freshman hit a birdie putt over Hannemann’s par. “This is so exciting,” Hannemann said after her NCAA victory. “I cannot express how good this title feels.” After a disappointing first-round 75, Hannemann recovered to shoot an evenpar 72 on the second day. A 69 on the third day got Hannemann even for the tournament and placed her four strokes behind the leader, Louisiana State’s Katy Harris, and tied with Ochoa. However, Harris’ 3-over 75 on the day put her out of contention leaving Hannemann and Ochoa—both of whom shot a final-round 69 —to slug it out in a playoff. Now, however, its back to golf, as the Rio de Janeiro native plays in the U.S. Women’s Open for the second time at the Pine Needles Golf Club in Pinehurst, where she joins teammate Leigh Anne Hardin, who also qualified for golfs largest prize. In her first attempt Hannemann missed the cut, but she hopes she can carry her momentum from her national title into the tournament. “I couldn’t be happier for Candy,” Brooks said. “She led by example and has worked so hard this year. She deserves the title.”

WOMEN’S GOLF from page 17 think too much. She didn’t make excuses, but I could tell it bothered her a bit. It came in waves, and some of the walking in the hot weather on those hills is tough.” Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, the Bulldogs were able to capitalize on their opponents’ rough start, erasing Duke’s lead and maintaining their own early in the round. However, the Blue Devils did not give up and actually began to threaten late, beginning with Kalen Anderson’s two birdies on 17 and 18. Meanwhile, Georgia faltered briefly, with everyone on its team except for Whitney Christie, whose high score was thrown out, bogeying 16. With the brieffalter Duke pulled within three strokes, but it was not enough for the Bulldogs to lose control. After Hardin and Engstrom pared their final two holes, Nirapathpongporn and Hannemann both birdied 17. Hannemann’s' birdie came after she hit a 150-yard second shot to reach the long par-five green in two. But the Bulldogs kept pace, led by redshirt sophomore Summer Sirmons and junior Reilley Rankin both of whom matched their Blue Devil playing partners at with birdies. After Sirmons and Rankin again and Nirapathpongporn matched Hannemann with superb approaches on 18, there was little the Blue Devils could do. “Duke got off to a poor start, which was unusual, because they are such a

good team,” Georgia coach Todd McCorkle said. “I never thought my team was intimidated even though Duke’s a great team.” The victory was the second straight for McCorkle, who also won last year with Arizona. It also marked the second time in two years Duke has finished near the top of the leaderborad, winning the national championship back in 1999. And Duke looks to challenge for a national championship again next year. The dominant Blue Devils, who won a school-record nine titles this year and finished first in the final national rankings, will return everyone but Anderson. “They’re such a good team it’s scary,” McCorkle said. “I saw Candy and she had that look in her eyes that scared even me. You don’t tell Duke to come and get you because they will. We beat them only once this year and that was today.”
