U.S. deploys troops to Gulf By DAVID SANGER

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush ordered heavy bombers and other aircraft to within easy striking distance of Afghanistan Wednesday and repeated his demand that Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban turn over the suspected leaders of the terrorist organization believed to be behind last week’s attacks in New York and Washington.

The White House announced that Bush would address a joint meeting of Congress Thursday evening to lay out his aims for what he has called a global war on terrorism and to detail the sacrifices that might be asked of the American public. The military deployments ordered Wednesday involved about two dozen bombers, tankers and support aircraft. Also Wednesday, the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt and

its accompanying battle group

left Virginia and headed eastward to an undisclosed location. With the carrier’s air wing of about 70 attack aircraft, the United States was moving nearly 100 military aircraft to a region where there is already a robust U.S. military presence. Wednesday’s deployments form the first wave of a Pentagon campaign that the president has described as a broad See TROOPS on page

Selective living groups begin the annual review process this week under the guidance of new Annual Review Committee Chair Todd Adams, someone many students hope will streamline the controversial process. Adams, an assistant dean of student development, has worked closely with fraternities and selective living groups since coming to Duke just over a year ago. The ARC began meeting with student groups this week, and leaders remain hopeful that Adams will improve the system. “I think the annual review has beep helpful in encouraging philanthropic and cultural opportunities, but sometimes it was not the most accessible process, and I think it will probably be more accessible with Todd Adams as chair,” said senior Josh Brodsky, president of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. “He’s the type of person who’ll support you but also tell you what you need to do to keep up your part ofthe bargain.”

Each of Duke’s 26 selective living groups must submit biannual reports on their activities to the ARC, which aims to ensure that groups with prime housing on West Campus are giving back to the community.

The

committee

evaluates

groups based on their activity in seven categories: faculty interaction, student-led programming, cultural programming, educational programming, community service, social inter-

action and citizenship. Many current and past living group presidents said they have seen improvements in the process recently, but they expressed lingering dissatisfaction with the ARC’s evaluation methods, level of feedback and clarity of expectations. “In the past, we never knew what event fit into what category,” said senior Rudy Ruiz, president of Wayne Manor. His group was put on probation last year, but Ruiz said expectations have been clearer since they signed a contract with the administration last spring. See ANNUAL REVIEW

International student advocates fear tighter regulations By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Higher education experts expect that the U.S. government may toughen restrictions on international students after last week’s terrorist attacks, which officials suspect were perpetrated by immigrants. Currently, coming to the United States is straightforward for most international students, as long as they are accepted to a university, have enough money and do not have ties to militant groups. Some officials speculate, however, that the process for obtaining visas has and may continue to become more difficult, and that the government may track visitors more closely. Section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 technically requires higher education institutions to electronically collect data about international students. The information ranges from basic personal data to more extensive data about the visitor’s activities in the United States. “In terms of the immigration serv-

ice, if the data is there, they can sort, select and play with that data,” said Catheryn Gotten, director of the International Office. “Are they looking for people from [a specific] country? People who came in between certain dates? Where are they getting their funding?”

The government never fully funded a program implementing the law, but Gotten said Congress may revisit the issue. “I expect that certainly with recent events, if money is part of the problem, that Congress will find funds to implement the law in full,” she said. “The idea was to make that information available to consular points abroad and immigration offices in the United States. It would have made it easier to verify that someone was a student in the United States and was entitled to a visa.” The University draws about 3 percent of its undergraduates and 12 percent of its graduate and professional students from other countries. Several international students said they would not be surprised if immigration laws See

Musharraf offers support to U.S. The Pakistani president emphasized that Washington is not declaring war on Islam By ANWAR FARUQI Associated Press

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf said Wednesday that his nation was facing a “very serious time” and his offer to help the United States strike at terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden was Pakistan’s best option.

Wearing his military uniform, Musharraf said in a nationally televised speech that the United States had not finalized operational plans for an attack on bin Laden and the Taliban rulers in Afghanistan who shelter him. But shortly after Musharraf finished speaking, a senior US. defense official said in Washington that the Pentagon ordered combat aircraft to

begin moving to bases in the Persian Gulf region. The deployment has been dubbed “Operation Infinite Justice.” Musharraf emphasized that Washington was not declaring war on Islam or Afghanistan. “Nowhere have the words Islam or the Afghan nation been mentioned,” in the talks between Pakistan and the United States about cooperating in their efforts to battle terrorism, Musharraf said in his native Urdu. Musharraf s address was intended to explain his decision to help US. forces capture or kill bin Laden, the prime suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He has promised to provide US. forces with access

to his country’s air space and land. That decision has sparked anger and fear among many in Pakistan, a Muslim nation of 140 million people, where some groups strongly back bin Laden and the Taliban. “Pakistan is passing through a very serious time. Our decision today will impact our future,” said Musharraf, punctuating his speech with stories

and quotes from the Quran, Islam’s holy book. To cooperate with the United States and stand together with the international community will ensure the South Asian country emerges as a “responsible and dignified Pakistan,” he said. But Musharraf said that his govern See PAKISTAN on page 8 �

Major airlines announce massive layoffs BY ALLISON LINN The Associated Press

SEATTLE American and United airlines announced 40,000 layoffs Wednesday as the U.S. aviation industry sank deeper into a crisis touched off by the terrorist attacks. The parent company of American, the world’s largest airline, said it will lay off at least 20,000, or 14 percent, of its 138,350 workers. The cuts by AMR Corp. will affect American, TWA and American Eagle. United parent UAL Corp. matched the bad news little more than 90 minutes later, saying it would lay off 20,000 of its 100,000 workers. Just a day earlier, Boeing said it planned to trim thousands of jobs in the Seattle area. “This is not a ripple effect,” said Rep. Jennifer Dunn, whose suburban Seattle district includes thousands of Boeing workers. “This is a tsunami.” The attacks have cost the struggling U.S. aviation in-

dustry nearly 70,000 jobs and billions of dollars in vanished business. Airlines warn the layoffs could rise to 100,000 and are asking for $17.5 billion in federal aid to keep them from ruin. The air carriers initially had asked for $24 billion, while the House had suggested $l5 billion. It’s not just the airlines that are in trouble: Boeing, the No. 1 maker of passenger jets, said Tuesday it will scale back deliveries and lay off up to 30,000 of its 93,000 commercial airline workers by the end of next year. Then came the Sept. 11 attack by terrorists using four hijacked Boeing airliners, the unprecedented two-day ban on commercial flights and expensive new security measures for travelers and airports. Boeing Commercial President and chief executive Alan Mulally said the company has no immediate plans to close any plants, though Boeing may end up delivering 500 commercial jets this year instead of the expected 538.

RECYCLING BINS for paper cover the University’s campus. Although recycling has become a popular way to help save the environment, Duke chose not to buy printers that print on two sides.

Duke forgoes paper-saving printers Some printers used at UNC-CH print on both sides of paper By CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle

Duke may have an edge against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the

basketball court, but the Tar Heels have an edge over Duke in the computer clusters; Duke students are printing an average of 80,000 to 105,000 pages per week in Perkins Library and Lilly Library alone, contributing to a total 6.25 million printed pages each year in the Office of Information Technology’s clusters. But if the University purchased environment-friendly printers that can

print on both sides of a sheet of paper, similar to those used at

UNC-CH, this amount could potentially be halved. At UNC-CH last year, 8 million pages were printed, but because of the duplex printers, only 5 mil-

lion actual pieces of paper were consumed. The special printers were implemented at UNC-CH two years ago in a bid to save paper. Although the duplex printing option adds an additional $4OO cost to the printer, UNC-CH felt that curtailing paper waste was more important. “The true savings have been in saving

trees,” said Brent Caison, UNC-CH manager of Academic Technology and Network computer labs. Ed Gomes, head of Library Information Services at Duke, however, does not believe that duplex printers would save that much paper. Therefore, none of the nine new printers that were installed in the e-reserves sections of Lilly and Perkins last week offered the dou-

ble-sided printing option. Gomes explained that the costs of installing special printers and extra maintenance efforts would not be the most effective way to save paper. See PAPER on page 9 �

In its first legislative meeting of the year, Duke Student Government voted unanimously last night to endorse the efforts of the coalition of student groups currently raising money in support of the United Way September 11th Fund and the Duke Emergency Relief Fund. The resolution, co-authored by President C. J. Walsh, Executive Vice President Drew Ensign, Chief of Staff Evan Davis, Vice President for Facilities and Athletic Affairs Matthew Slovik and Financial Aid Task Force Chair James Carter, called upon Duke students and campus groups to unite behind relief efforts for victims of the terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon and their families. “We’ve brought together representatives from Spectrum, the [lntrafratemity Council] and over forty student groups in an unprecedented uniting of students,” Walsh said. “Hopefully this will foster a lot of interaction on campus.” The senior said that over $6,000 has been raised in the past week. That figure includes the sale of almost 2,000 American flags and the donations that students, faculty and staff have made at designated spots across campus. Those stations, manned by members ofthe various groups involved, will remain open through Friday. The $6,000 does not include money raised Wednesday night at George’s Garage, where DSG and the rest of the student coalition hosted a benefit party. They will also sponsor a similar fundraising event at Cafe Parizade Saturday night. Walsh was on hand at the meeting to lend support to the resolution and to make a 30-minute presentation to the body about the projects DSG worked on last spring, what was accomplished over the summer and what is on the horizon for this academic year. In his presentation, the DSG president said that along with major issues like the alcohol policy, residential life and academic affairs, new issues like intellectualism and gender equity will also be addressed this year. IN OTHER BUSINESS: All 50 of DSG’s legislators were sworn in by attorney general Elizabeth KreulStarr. Among the 2001-2002 body were three recently added members: sophomore Ben Brod, sophomore Edward Keith, and freshman Ryan Kennedy. The three are replacing freshman Mary Baars, junior Shevon Rockett and juniorDoug Ross, who all quit the organization after being elected or appointed last week. See DSG on page 9

and sustained war on those behind last week’s terror strikes. The president told world leaders in meetings and telephone calls Wednesday that the coalition he hopes to build bears little resemblance to the one assembled for the Persian Gulf War or any other American war. He has repeatedly said that the United States also reserves the right to act alone in self-defense. To prepare the political ground for the coming conflict, in whatever form it might take, Bush will use his speech in the well of the House of Representatives Thursday evening to “make the case of why we are entering this long struggle,” his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said Wednesday afternoon. He will argue, she said, that unless the United States takes the battle to the countries terrorists use as their bases of operations, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon last week are certain to be the first of many on US. soil. Rice went to some lengths to discourage comparisons to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s reference to a “day ofinfamy” that was delivered from the same lectum almost 60 years ago. “This is not Pearl Harbor,” Rice said, noting that after the 1941 attack the U.S. military had a clear target—Tokyo—and away to measure victory. Repeating Bush’s statements that in the coming battle “there are no beaches to storm and islands to take,” she said this would be “a

war of will and the mind,” in which intelligence would be the most important asset. “So we are asking a lot ofcountries for information,” she said, rather than troops or other military assets. Without a clear target, Rice did not appear to resolve the question ofwhat would constitute victory for the Bush administration in a struggle it describes as a “war.” President Bush’s speech will undoubtedly touch on the economic costs of the terrorist attacks at a time of economic slowdown, and White House officials said again Wednesday that they were looking at proposals for economic stimulus, beyond just a bailout for airlines. The president, asked at a meeting with congressional leaders about his promise last month to use the Social Security surplus only in time of recession, war or other emergency, said current conditions have more than met his test. “Not only has someone conducted an act of war on us, our economy has slowed way down, and this is an emergency” Bush said. ‘We’ve had all three, it seems like to me.” It is convenient for the administration to characterize the coalition it is building as a flexible one, as Rice did Wednesday. That is the only way to embrace the small handful of countries likely to commit troops and equipment, those like Pakistan that are now committed to sharing intelligence and allowing flights over their territory and others, including Russia and China, that seem unlikely to offer more than quiet encouragement, and perhaps some covert aid.

“[The duplex printers were] taken into consideration before purchasing the [new] printers, but it wasn’t something we wanted to pursue at this time,” he said.

He added that double-sided printing

is unpopular because the printers jam more frequently and require more at-

tention. Unlike UNC-CH computer clusters, Duke OIT clusters are not individually staffed, and staff members would have to go to each cluster specifically to

repair equipment. “Our labs are staffed by student employees and they are available to fix the jams as they occur,” Caison said. “If the

Duke labs are unstaffed, it creates problems for the central staff that has to respond to the jams.” Gomes said the real reason for paper waste stems from students who are too impatient to wait for papers and repeatedly hit the print button, resulting in unnecessary extra copies. To curtail this waste, Library Information Services is currently looking at software that can monitor printing at e-reserves and restrict additional print jobs. “We do use too much paper,” Gomes said. “I am interested in seeing how UNC-CH is doing. [Double-sided printing] is something we can revisit.”

DSG replaces 3 legislators DSG from page 3 Ensign, the executive vice president, said Baars, Rockett and Ross left DSG because of scheduling conflicts which would not have allowed them to attend the weekly legislative meetings. Ross and Baars will remain on their respective committees inside DSG, though they will no longer have voting powers in the legislation, Ensign said. “This is not out of the ordinary,” he said. “I think in two of the past three years, this has happened.” Head Line Monitor Greg Skidmore announced that this year’s tenting policy for Krzyzewskiville will probably be released this weekend, and that the first

reading of the policy will take place at next Wednesdays DSG meeting. Skidmore said any students interested in lending their opinions to the shaping of the policy can still contact him this week. Brian Goldfarb, a junior, was appointed to Walsh’s cabinet as the director of internal technology, and Kelly Rogers, a senior, was appointed to the Intercommunity Council as the executive secretary. Student Organization Finance Committee Chair Vinny Eng and Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee Chair Jason Freedman announced that any students interested in joining these committees may submit applications at the DSG office this week.

ANNUAL REVIEW from page 1

Adams said one of his main priorities will be addressing student concerns about the criteria. “It’s very hard in those categories to say that what works for one group will work for any other group,” he said. “What we want to do with the feedback is give them some clarification of how they’ve met those expectations.” But even for houses that pass the annual review, residents said the process provides few concrete suggestions. Senior Patricia Chen, former president of Roundtable, said her house did not receive any suggestions for improvement when it received a “good” rating last year. “You submit a 10 or 12 page report and you get a one-word comment,” Chen said. “Personally, I feel at this point the

annual review isn’t based on what you do—it’s how you present what you do.” Previously, the committee was chaired by Benjamin Ward, associate dean of student development. Under Ward, the ARC’s presence grew, particularly during the last two years when it revoked the housing of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and Old House CC selective house. After about seven years of chairing the ARC, Ward said it was time for a change. “I had been involved for a long time as chair, and periodically it’s good to put a new face on an institution,” he said. Ward, also a professor of philosophy, will remain on the ARC as one of the committee’s three voting administrators. The group also includes four voting student members.

Men’s soccer resumes season with win Locked-out referees will By ASSAAD NASR The Chronicle

After an unexpected week off due to Duke _2 last Tuesday’s terrorist attacks, the Radford 0 Duke men’s soccer team (3-2) returned to action Wednesday afternoon at the Dedmon Center Field with a 2-0 victory against the Radford Highlanders (1-4). Although the team had not played a game for 10 days, as their match against Clemson set for last Friday was postponed, the Blue Devils gave a solid performance. “It was a very physical, very hard-fought game,” coach John Rennie said. “I thought we did a great job to get a shutout and a win on the road against a team that fought extremely hard.” As evidence of their strong all-around play, the Blue Devils easily outshot Radford 14-9, including seven shots on goal, while limiting the Highlanders to only three shots on goal. In fact, goalkeeper Scott Maslin and the stingy Blue Devils defense, which has surrendered only three goals thus far this season, notched their third shutout of the year in only their

fifth game. “We played five guys at the back today, and they all played great,” Rennie said. The Blue Devils first got on the board in the 39th minute, when Nigerian native and freshman Owoicho Adogwa, or “Nigie” as he likes to be called, outfought a defender for a free ball and tucked it home. Aside from the fact that the goal was the game-winner, it was Adogwa’s first-ever collegiate score. In the 71st minute, senior Noah Lewkowitz took a feed from Jordan Cila and fired the ball passed Radford goalkeeper Andrew Essey into the back of the net. It was Lewkowitz’s second goal in as many games and his third on the season. Although Radford had a few chances to score early on, its best opportunity occurred in the 17th minute, when T.J. Rolfing’s blast hit the crossbar of the Duke goal. The extra time in between games seemed to affect the team slightly. The Blue Devils last played Sept. 8 in their second game of the Duke/Adidas Classic, a See MEN’S SOCCER on page 13 P"

return From wire reports The locked-out NFL officials will be back on the field Sunday when the league resumes play after postponing last weekend’s games following the terrorist attacks. NFL spokesperson Joe Browne said the league was told by Bill Carollo, the union’s executive director, that a majority of the 119 officials ratified a contract that had been agreed to Sunday night and voted on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tom Condon, the negotiator for the union, said the vote was about two to one to accept the contract

and get back to work. Condon said the terrorist attacks that caused a week’s hiatus were a major incentive. “You can’t ignore the occurrences around the country and the fact that our concerns were pale in comparison,” he said. “So we thought it was important to get back for the

restart of the season.”

The deal is the same in total mon-

etary value as the package proposed by the league Sept. 4, although the

specifics are different. It would increase salaries by 50 percent in the first year and by 100 percent in the fourth year of a six-year deal. The officials missed two week—the last one of preseason games and the first week of the regular season.

Clemens ups record to 20-1 in Yankees’ 6-3 victory By RICK GANG

The Associated Press

Duke increases security For the rest of the 2001 football season, there will be an increase in security in the parking lots, tailgating areas and throughout the stadium. Also, fans are asked to not bring bags.

No flying allowed here For Saturday’s games, the FAA granted the requests of several schools, including Clemson and North Carolina, to prohibit flights within a mile radius of their stadiums.

A February Super Bowl?

Even years for Ryder Cupi

The Super Bowl is currently scheduled to be played Jan. 27 at the Superdome. A move to February, however, would allow the NFL to play its entire season and the 12-team playoff format

The PGA of America offidally announced that the Ryder Cup will be moved to 2002 and the President’s Cup will be moved to 2003. Each event is held every two years.

ROGER CLEMENS won his 20th game of the season Wednesday.

Roger Clemens is at a CHICAGO level all his own. Clemens became the first pitcher in major league history to go 20-1, pitching the New York Yankees to a 63 win over the Chicago White Sox Wednesday night. The 39-year-old right-hander reached 20 wins for the sixth time in his career and became the oldest 20game winner in the AL since Early Wynn did it in 1959, just shy of his 40th birthday. The Rocket, struggling at times without his best stuff, allowed three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings and struck out a season-low one. It was his first start since Sept. 5, when he beat Toronto and joined Rube Marquard as the only pitchers since 1900 to go 19-1. His scheduled start against Boston Sept. 10 was rained out, and the rest of last week’s games were postponed after terrorist attacks on New York and Washington D.C. Five years after Boston general manager Dan Duquette said Clemens was in the “twilight” of his

career and let him go, Clemens became the AL’s first 20-game winner and lowered the Yankees’ magic number to five for clinching their fourth straight AL East title. He has won 16 straight decisions, his only loss coming May 20 at Seattle. His career record improved to 280-143 and he is the favorite for the AL Cy Young Award, which he already has won five times. He alsj> moved within five of Bert Blyleven (3,701) for third on the career strikeout list. Clemens, who threw 107 pitches, left to a standing ovation from the crowd of 18,465 after allowing an RBI single in the seventh to Chris Singleton that pulled Chicago to 4-3. Jay Witasick came in and got Royce Clayton to hit into an inning-ending double play. Mike Stanton got the first out of the eighth and Mariano Rivera finished for his career-high 46th save, tying the team record set by Dave Righetti in 1986. Derek Jeter homered twice, including a two-run, goahead shot in the fifth, as the Yankees won their second straight since baseball resumed and stretched their winning streak to six.

~as Letters to

An unwelcome home

For

America’s college students, last week’s attacks were one of—if not the—largest crisis they have ever experienced. Some lost family, some lost friends, and many lost a sense ofsecurity. Understandably, some of those who had planned to study outside ofthe country may now want to stay at home. Universities should accommodate those students. Unfortunately, Duke has not been as welcoming. The University’s response to distressed students on campus has been commendable: Administrators set up a crisis counseling center and have tried to make everyone feel as a part ofthe Duke family. However, their generosity stopped short of helping study abroad participants. Although administrators have offered more flexibility with using advanced placement credits toward graduation—a laudable act—they told these students that there was no place for them back in Durham, claiming that it was too late in the school year. Officials should have exercised more flexibility in this case. The University has been accommodating on a case-by-case basis in the past, and each of these cases merit more compassion. In a summer term, students complete work for two courses in six weeks, and administrators could have used this example to find another solution. Professors should have the power to decide whether to accept a student this far into the semester and whether they would be willing to supervise an independent study. The University has always stressed creating a welcoming environment for its community. But in one ofthe most troubling times ofthe nation, it has managed to do otherwise.

Gouging in time of crisis

Businesses

throughout the country have admirably contributed to relief efforts following the tragedy of Sept. 11. Ten companies—ranging from General Electric to Phillip Morris—have already donated $lO million or more. Thousands more are contributing money, matching employee donations or letting their workers volunteer. Unfortunately, even with these actions, some unscrupulous entrepreneurs have tried to take advantage of the situation. Price gouging surfaced almost immediately after the attack as some places in the Midwest saw the price of gasoline jump by as much as $7 per gallon. Even the American flag has seen its price skyrocket. Now is not the proper time for American business owners to hike prices on gasoline—a product whose supply was never truly threatened. Such prices increases are illegal during disasters such as hurricanes and should be in this case as well. Fortunately, authorities in the affected states stepped in to relieve the gas problems and are now watchful for future incidents. But as authorities prosecute the offenders, customers should reconsider their decision to shop at such stores. However, even more despicable than price gouging are the bogus charities that have surfaced. These fraudulent groups prey upon a well-intentioned public by accepting donations without any intention of using the funds for charity. In the aftermath of this crisis, Americans should be unified against fraud. Fortunately, many businesses have been commendable, and only a few have sunk to these depths.

The violence we commit now must likewise destroy a world whose highest values are hatred of the foreign and mass murder ofthe innocent. Pretending that only peace and love can stop such barbarism would prove far more tragic than the course of war we are now compelled to take.

Columnist praised for expression of true emotions I just want to take this opportunity to compliment Alexandra Wolfe for saying what needs to be said at this time on college campuses. It has been particularly distressing to see many at my alma mater reluctant to join in the unity of this nation against terrorism. This is truly, as Wolfe said, intellectualism run wild.

sometimes committed atrocious errors in judgement and purpose, but no other

those actions which signal that this nation will not tolerate the taking of innocent life. Those who perpetrated these horrible acts, and those who support them, sacrificed their right to life when they showed their contempt for life. Let us now pray for America and all those who protect her. Gary Williams Trinity ’OO

Letter writer misses importance of striking back I am writing regarding Chuck Bosley's letter to the editor Sept. 18 calling for the United States to refrain from “striking back.” When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941,

the United States instinctively recognized that we had to fight back to protect our way of life. I do not think that our nation’s leaders at that time attempted to “find peace on

an individual level” instead of retaliating. If they did, we would likely be living in a fascist state today.

Duke partnership plays major role in area housing While the shortage of affordable housing is a real concern for both the city of Durham and the nation, it is helpful to also mention the actions positive Duke University has taken to address this problem. It would be a grave oversight if we failed to mention the crucial role that the University played in bringing about the Walltown (near Duke’s East Campus) neigh-

borhood’s change. Duke’s Office of Community Affairs, through its Duke-Durham

Partnership, initiated the Walltown project in 1995 by assisting Self-Help and Habitat for Humanity to acquire 30 distressed properties in the neighborhood. In the years since then, Duke has provided annual funding assistance to defray staff costs and to help pur-

chase an additional twenty houses. To date, 50 low-income families, many of which are Duke employees, have become first-time home buyers (11 Habitat, 39 Self-Help) because of Duke’s help. Self-

Attacks force people across the country to reassess threats to America

If there is any silver lining to last Tuesday’s heinous terrorist attacksan i seems ard to think about that ng now i may be that these shockmg events serve as a much-needed wake up call for America. A decade of relative peace and prosperity has left us with Sol d hablt .s ery The world today is a vastly different place from the Cold War, but it is hardly devoid of threats. Just weeks ago, Rev. A1 Sharpton proudly declared. In a time that n longer have a Cold War, there is no real threat to American t

Thl

secunty. Amazingly, this ignorant view was Aimmerniari S

|} arf

many resP ecf

ed observers, most of them liberals. A change in the nature of threats to America was mistaken somehow for a disappearance of threats. This dangerously naive belief should have been questioned after the African embassy bombings killed 300 people. It Wasn’t. It should have been discredited after the U.S.S. Cole was attacked. It wasn’t. Hopefully, seeing the massive World Trade Center in ruins will forever put to rest such wishful thinking. But a skeptical look at our security policy is only a start—there are many more changes needed to address the realities of the 21st century. Most importantly, it is high time to snap out of our peace-induced stupor and to abandon the politically correct culture that has been asphyxiating us, During the quiet ’9os, America had the luxury of debating political correctness; now it should be discarded as the fundamentally flawed vision that it is. One by one, the pieces of

this anti-democratic movement need to be destroyed. First to go should be one of academia’s most cherished—and senseless—

ideals. For years, literature departments and history professors have been

screaming to anyone who’ll listen that there is no such thing as right and wrong. These simplistic ideas, the academies claim, are merely opinions imposed by the imperial West. Five thousand dead Americans should sound the death knell for this I*0 1 relativism. After Osama bin Laden, how can anyone seriously teach students that there’s no such thing as universal evil? Are cowardly attacks on innocent civilians only a matter of ™

perspective?

Unfortunately, if last Wednesday’s interfaith vigil” is any indication, it looks like such silly ideas will not be questioned and the necessary changes will not come. In a service that should have been solemn and respectful, Duke focused on inclusion and PC self-congratulation at the expense of justice

and patriotism. The Chronicle’s description of the event shows just how foolish things were, “Wednesday’s hour-long vigil focused on bridge-building and community while also addressing the audience’s diverse backgrounds.” None of these ideas, although certainly all chic, PC psychobabble, have anything to do with remembering the victims of a tragic terrorist attack. Such drivel should be reserved for graduation, not a vigil, Even more appalling was the periodic clapping, as if the ostensibly religious ceremony had become a kind of ’6os peace rally. Students raced to embrace any pro-Muslim statement to prove how tolerant and inclusive they were, This seemed to symbolize the misplaced sympathies of the crowd, Certainly, Muslim students should not be the targets of racially motivated attacks, but they are hardly the real victims here. The children who have no parents, the husbands who have no wives and the mangled bodies at the bottom of the pile of rubble in Manhattan—those are the victims. But apparently the victimization culture of

But instead of engaging in a selfish, sanctimonious race to see who John Zimmerman is a Trinity senior.

Hope and love for a trying time A week ago Tuesday night, I called my best friend in California. We talked about the attacks for a long time, and then we tried to be normal. He described law school, I brought up a movie; we gossiped. Three hours later, I was about to hang up the phone. I said “goodbye.” I said, “Thanks for talking.” Then I said something really big. I said, “I love you.” JiiiiP ■ In the past, I have always written raran about relationships. In spite of last Tuesday, or maybe because of it, lam Krentcil urged to continue that theme. This week, we’ve seen people come together. We’ve also seen people pulled apart. And I think we’ve also seen a lot of “I love you.” The American people embraced each other, and our nation, this week. Other countries followed suit, pledging support and sympathy. In a huge display of “I love you,” Great Britain suspended the changing of the guard, instead playing our national anthem. Virginia took out an advertisement in the New York Times, proclaiming, “I [heart] NEW YORK.” In the face of hate, “I love you” became an incredibly powerful force. Please understand that I am not an idealist. Just because I’m feeling the love doesn’t mean I can go back to business. I am still terrified of President George W. Bush’s administration, air travel and the future. But I’m no longer skeptical ofthe American spirit. How can I doubt a force so powerful, it moves a million people to give their own blood to those in need? I don’t want to spout propaganda.
