UNCLE HARRY’S grocery store, located on Central Campus, may have to shut down if it continues to lose revenue

Harry’s could close at year’s end By KATE STAMELL

Lobby Shop, located on West

As Uncle Harry’s continues to lose revenue, the Central Campus grocery store may close its doors at the end of this year. Between 1999 and 2000, the store lost a net $230,900, as sales revenue fell from $1.27 million to $1.04 million. During that same period, the

Later, Blair flew to Russia, arriving in Moscow in the evening, for talks with President Vladimir Putin that Blair said were aimed at strengthening the international coalition against terrorism. In his speech, the prime minister indicated military action was likely, but gave no hint when it would happen. “We are now approaching the difficult time when action is taken. It will be difficult, there are no easy options,” he said. In Paris, French Defense Minister Alain Richard said U.S. military retaliation is not likely for several weeks. “The decisions to take action haven’t been made,” Richard said. “Everyone is going to prepare their own means that will be well adapted for a joint effort. We aren’t at the end of that,” Richard said.

Students Researchers take advantage of census data praise new tent policy By JAMIE PAXTON The Chronicle

Ten months after opening, the U.S.

� Tenters were enthusiastic in

particular about the walk-up line policy, which allows two students to share their time in line evenly. By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Wednesday was a good day for Cameron Crazies.

Before the sun even rose, tickets went on sale for the Oct. 27 Blue and White game. By midday, high school senior Shavlik Randolph had officially committed to Duke, rounding out one of the best recruiting classes in college basketball history. And early Wednesday night, Duke Student Government approved this season’s tenting policy for Krzyzewskiville. Like the first two events ofthe day, the passage ofthe new plan has drawn enthusiastic reactions from tenters. “I think it’s a very good policy, especially the rules for the walk-up line,” Jason Laderman said. The sophomore was in the walk-up line for last season’s game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Despite waiting in line for more than 30 hours, Laderman missed getting into Cameron Indoor Stadium by about 10 people. “The whole thing was out oforder,” he said. “People were cutting in line because there really wasn’t anyone monitoring it.” The walk-up line plan that Head Line Monitor Greg Skidmore created this year allows two students to evenly share their time in line, which will be monitored throughout the day by unannounced checks. Laderman said it was a good idea to allow students to leave the line to go See REACTION on page 8 P-

Census Bureau’s research data center at Duke is providing area researchers with exciting new opportunities. The Triangle Research Data Center—sponsored by Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and the Triangle Research Institute—provides faculty, graduate students and Triangle researchers with a wealth of unpublished census data available at only five other locations in the United States. “[lt is a] unique research opportunity for graduate students and faculty,” said Alison Hagy, director of the center, which is located in the Social Sciences Building. The program was established in 1992 by the Census Bureau’s Center for Economic Studies to provide researchers with expanded access to microdata often crucial to a wide array of academic fields. The center at Duke was opened last December as an expansion of this program. This microdata consists of economic information collected from businesses and firms, and demographic data from individuals and households. However, US. law guarantees the confidentiality ofthis information, and the government distributes it only under close supervision to a limited number of individuals. Marjorie McElroy, economics department chair, led the quest to establish the center here in order to provide this “tremendous opportunity for Duke and all Triangle universities and RTI to do a kind of research universities can’t do outside of these centers.” Both she and Hagy have been pleased to see that researchers from across disciplines and across schools have quickly made use of this opportunity. Currently there are four researchers working with the center: graduate students in economics and

sociology, and professors from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC-CH and Duke’s Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

THE TRIANGLE RESEARCH DATA CENTER offers researchers the opportunity to access nationwide data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

ITT/Terry Sanford Distinguished Professor of Public Policy Philip Cook, the first researcher to begin work at the center, is studying the effects of gun availability and its relation to burglary rates. “I certainly could not have done [this study] without the center,” Cook said, adding that the other locations nationwide would have been less convenient for researching. He explained that because of the

specificity of the information available at the center, access could compromise the respondents’ confidentiality and anonymity. Therefore, the Census Bureau carefully regulates the information

via an initial review by two separate boards, a tightly controlled research process and further authorization to publish research results. Although the center provides excellent resources for many area researchers, the level of research is generally beyond that of undergraduate studies and theses, and thus the center remains a source geared toward professors and graduate students. However, as one of the few centers in the country and the only one in the South, Hagy and McElroy expressed hope that the center will benefit the entire University by attracting high-quality faculty and gradu-

ate students.

Pakistan: Evidence Bowles announces Senate candidacy justifies indictment By JOHN BURNS

New York Times News Service

In a statement likely ISLAMABAD, Pakistan to reverberate through the Muslim world, Pakistan said Thursday that evidence compiled by the United States of Osama bin Laden’s involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was enough to justify charges in a court oflaw. “We have seen the material provided by the American side yesterday,” a prepared statement read by a foreign ministry spokesperson said. “This material certainly provides sufficient basis for indictment in a court of law.” Pakistan’s statement urged the Bush administration to go public with the evidence, which was presented to the country’s military ruler, President Pervez Musharraf, at a meeting with the US. ambassador, Wendy Chamberlin, Wednesday. The implication was that other Muslim nations that have agonized over siding with the United States for fear of provoking mass protests by militant groups might follow Pakistan’s example if the evidence pointing to bin Laden was revealed. “We think there would be an advantage if the evidence was publicized, because it would strengthen the case of the United States in taking appropriate actions against people responsible for these terrorists acts,” said Riaz Mohammed Khan, the foreign ministry spokesperson. But he said Pakistan understood the sensitivities involved in disclosing confidential information arising from the investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks. The statement was the first of its kind by any Muslim country, and constituted a potentially vital political breakthrough for the Bush administration. Pakistan, the world’s second most populous Muslim nation after Indonesia, carries major weight in the Islamic world. Crucially, too, its position as Afghanistan’s neighbor makes it a pivotal ally to Washington in the hunt for bin Laden and his ter-

rorist network. Until Thursday, Pakistan had been a palpably reluctant partner of Washington, fearing that its commitment to give “full support” to American military action in Afghanistan, given shortly after the attacks, could provoke widespread unrest among militant Muslims and even threaten the government. But at a stroke, the foreign ministry statement appeared to have ended weeks of anxiety and cast Pakistan into the role of a more resolute ally in any military action. By declaring that his government believes bin

Laden to have been responsible for the attacks, Musharraf crossed a divide that has opened up in recent weeks between most of the world’s 50 Muslim nations and the two Western nations, the United States and Britain, that have led the campaign against bin Laden. Although Muslim states have expressed outrage over the attacks, many have hesitated to say publicly that they consider bin Laden a likely perpetrator. For the United States, Pakistan’s statement was valuable for the effect it might have across the Muslim world.

Sharon urges United States not to ‘appease’ Arab states By MARK LAVIE

The Associated Press

JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon aimed unusually harsh words at the United States Thursday after a string of Palestinian attacks, urging Washington not to “appease” Arab states at Israel’s expense. Sharon stopped just short of cancelling a U.S.-backed cease-fire, but said that Israeli security forces would do whatever is necessary to protect Israeli citizens. “From now on we will count only on ourselves,” he told a news conference. Sharon’s remarks indicated a shift in policy that could undercut Washington’s efforts to bring Arab and Muslim states into an international coalition against Islamic militants suspected of carrying out the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States. The prime minister said Israel would fight terrorism without letup, dropping Israel’s earlier promise to suspend military strikes against Palestinians as part of a truce deal sought by Washington. The tough words followed an attack by a Palestinian gunman, who killed three Israelis at a bus station in northern Israel before he was gunned down.

The attack in the city of Afula, just across from the West Bank town of Jenin, came just minutes after senior Israeli and Palestinian officials completed an apparently fruitless meeting about implementing the latest truce, declared Sept. 26 to try to end a year of fighting. Sharon told a news conference that the cease-fire has not stopped violence “even for a minute.” Since the cease-fire was declared, 21 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, and five Israelis have been killed in two attacks by Palestinian militants. Sharon said, “do not try to placate the Arabs at Israel’s expense. We are not Czechoslovakia,” a reference to a 1938 decision by Britain and France to allow Nazi Germany to take over part of the eastern European country in exchange for a promise of peace that was quickly broken. In the latest violence, a Palestinian disguised as an Israeli soldier opened fire in the central bus station in the northern Israeli town ofAfula Thurs-

Death prompts little policy modification at UNC, Duke By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle As the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill awaits word of whether drug

use contributed to a UNC undergraduate’s death last month, Duke officials continue to examine how best to prevent such a death here. Twenty-year-old Daniel Walker, a UNC student majoring in communications and economics, was found dead in his Carrboro home Sept. 7. Although investigators will not complete toxicology reports for several more weeks, they believe drugs might have played a part in the death. Officials at UNC said they are taking a wait-and-see approach before reacting to the death. Rather than quickly change the school’s drug policies, they are evaluating the several prevention and outreach programs already in place. “It’s a tragedy, and we just try to view the situation and see if we can do anything differently, see if we can strengthen any of our prevention programs,” said Dean Blackburn, coordinator of substance abuse programs at UNC. Like UNC, Duke has a variety of drug education and prevention programs, coordinated mostly through the Healthy Devil and Counseling and Psychological Services. Health officials give presentations throughout the year, and this year’s freshman orientation included a forum on the effects of drugs and alcohol. CAPS also assesses for possible treatments for students found using drugs. Jeff Kulley, a CAPS staff psychologist specializing in drug and alcohol use, said every college campus is vulnerable to drug overdoses, but that education and treatment programs will not likely change because ofWalker’s death. “We have both preventative approaches and clinical treatment available,” Kulley said. “Prevention-wise, we provide programming. Often it’s included with

programming on alcohol, where we’ll try to educate people on drugs and the dangers of drug use.” Kulley said it is common to combine

drug education with discussions of alcohol because many substances are often used together in social settings. Some feel that alcohol issues tend to overshadow drug use, however, and that more education is needed on all substance abuse. “I think one of the main issues with drugs versus alcohol is a public perception or reaction to drug use as opposed to alcohol consumption,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs. “The laws related to alcohol tend to be more overlooked and more excused than those relating to other drugs.” In last year’s Core Alcohol and Drug Survey, which surveyed 159 Duke undergraduates, 22.4 percent said they had used marijuana in the past 30 days and 6.4 percent said they had used other drugs in the past 30 days. Kulley cautioned, however, that the survey included a small sample and was not comprehensive. Past national surveys have shown that about 80 percent of students drink alcohol. Police suspect the painkiller OxyContin may have been involved in the UNC student’s death. OxyContin has recently become more popular for recreational use, and a spate of drugstorerobberies nationwide have been attributed to people looking for the drug. Kulley said the drug’s popularity may mask serious dangers. “I think that one rough indicator of the danger of substances is how they’re taken, and OxyContin is something that people are grounding up and snorting or

injecting,” Kulley said. “Drugs that are snorted or injected pose a greater risk of overdose because they have a direct line

to the blood supply.” Students did not list OxyContin as one of the most-used drugs in last year’s Core survey.

to class, but thought the 50 percent requirement was too generous. “Students should have to be there the majority of the time,” he said. “Maybe they could get a pass from line monitors to go to class.” Kathryn Klima, a senior who was in a top-10 tent last season, said she agreed with keeping most oflast year’s highly successful policy intact. “I’m glad that they decided to keep it at 50 tents for Blue tenting for Carolina,” Klima said.

In Skidmore’s initial plan, the limit for the number of tents set up during the earlier Blue period was decreased from 50 to 30. Before Wednesday’s meeting, however, Skidmore responded to student demand for more hard-core tenting spots, reinstating the 50-tent limit for the game against the UNC-CH while keeping 30 for the University of Maryland game. Skidmore, a senior, said he intended the 30-tent maximum for the Maryland game to discourage students from coming back too

early in January when the weather could create health risks. “It sort of makes sense to only have 30 spots,” said junior Christopher Traver, the captain of tent 53 last season. “That way, not many people will set up really early.” DSG President C.J. Walsh also endorsed the policy Thursday. “I’m fired up about Krzyzewskiville,” he said.

“I’m glad that Greg went out and solicited student input because the tenters are happy with their mayor’s rules.”

about high prices HARRY’S from page 1 said if Uncle Harry’s does close, he does not know what would replace it; he said he remains open to the possibility of expanding the Lobby Shop and the store in the East Campus Union.

Wilkerson hopes, however, that the store will not close because it remains the only food provider on Central Campus. “Ultimately students will have to make a decision,” he said. “We want to provide for the students if the students want to be provided for.” Students expressed mixed feelings about the potential close, but most said life on Central requires a grocery store. “[Uncle Harry’s is] an alternative for Central,” said David Salguero, a sophomore. “It’s a hassle to go off campus if you don’t have a car.” Other students, however, preferred to leave campus for groceries. “I’d rather go off campus because the prices here are exorbitant,” said senior Izoduwa Ebose. Pat Walker, stores operations manager, said prices are not higher at Uncle Harry’s than at other local groceries. “We try to stay competitive with Kroger’s,” she said. “We do price checks once a month. We just don’t have the buying power that Kroger’s does; thus, we can’t lower our prices anymore.” But some students said even Kroger’s prices are too high and that they shop elsewhere. Walker added that she believes student sales would transfer to the Lobby Shop and the East Campus store if Uncle Harry’s closes. Ebose said the other stores on campus do not offer enough variety. “Although there are the other two stores on campus, they don’t have anything, so I would end up taking my business elsewhere,” she said.

Some vendors speculated that the events of Sept. 11 have led people to get out and enjoy the season more than usual. “It’s kind of an outlet people need and want when they’re worried and scared,” Ganyard said. “Recently, we’ve had lots of people come out to enjoy the outdoors and the farm.”

Racial gap persists as state test scores rise overall I- N.C. NEWS from page 5

Crime Control and Public Safety. About 90 troops who have been trained at Fort Bragg will provide the additional protection until the federal government develops and implements a nationwide program of improved security.

Overall test scores improve, racial gap does not:

More North Carolina students are performing at or above grade level, according to test scores released Thursday. But a racial achievement gap still persists. According to results from the ABCs of Public Education, a program the state Department of Public Instruction uses to evaluate how successful schools are at educating their children, 71.7

percent ofstudents from third through eighth grade performed at or above grade level last year. That compares to 69.8 percent last year. But there remains a significant gap in achievement among students of different races, particularly between white and black children. Fifty-two percent of black third- through eighthgraders scored at or above grade level, compared to 82 percent ofwhite ones. State superintendent Mike Ward said it was important for schools to close the achievement gap so that people do not lose faith in the system. “Frankly, I had hoped to see a little more movement on closing the gap,” Ward said. “I think our window of opportunity for closing the gaps is limited.”

Governor commutes sentence;

Gov. Mike Easley granted clemency Tuesday to convicted murderer Robert Bacon, Jr., commuting his death sentence to life in prison without parole. Easley’s decision came after Bacon objected that Easley should not hear pleas for clemency because of Easley’s former role as state attorney general. Then, and during his career as a prosecutor, Easley advocated the death penalty. A court ruled that these positions did not prevent him from hearing clemency appeals. In the past, Easley has usually rejected such appeals. He did not say why he decided to grant clemency to Bacon.

Bacon’s execution had been originally scheduled for May, but it was postponed

when his lawyers challenged Easley’s ability to hear pleas for clemency. It was again delayed in the wake ofthe terrorist attacks because Bacon could not properly access the courts. Bacon was to have been executed by lethal injection for stabbing his lover’s husband to death in 1987 in Onslow County. His lawyers claimed that race had influenced the outcome of Bacon’s trial, because he is black and his lover is white. Another inmate, David Junior Ward, is also requesting clemency from the governor. Ward had an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of execution rejected Wednesday. Ward was sentenced to death for the killing of a Greenville, N.C., shopkeeper in 1991.

Tennyson hopes for revitalization of downtown Durham � TENNYSON from page 1 years on the highest priority any government should have, but we’re nowhere near where we need to be,” he said. “Crime is still number-one issue.” In the future, the mayor plans to regulate “cash-conversion” businesses, which are similar to pawn shops but are not regulated by local governments. Tennyson said the businesses are often fronts for selling stolen goods. In addition to fighting crime, Tennyson is focusing on three other primary issues in the upcoming election: addressing transportation problems, revitalizing urban areas and improving government competence. “As bad as traffic is today, it’s going to be 20 times worse in the future, and we need some alternatives,” Tennyson said, adding that he believes a rail system will provide a promising alternative to automotive traffic in the Triangle area. With respect to government efficiency, he said it is important “to finally get the management of the city up to

’handmade

ICE

the standard you’d expect,” especially in the wake of a troubled small-business loan program that raised questions about the city administration’s credibility. The pro-growth candidate also expressed his desire to revitalize and rebuild the downtown area. He cited two recent projects in progress—renovations ofthe American Tobacco and Liggett & Myers warehouses—which will “bring major changes [in terms of] employment and residential opportunities” to Durham. Tennyson is also optimistic about the redevelopment of Few Gardens, a lower-income neighborhood that has recently received a $35 million federal grant to build more affordable housing. The mayor has been active on the front lines of urban growth as executive officer of the Home Builders Association of Durham and Orange counties, and has worked for the Durham Housing Authority. Yet some people feel that Tennyson, who frequently votes on the Durham City Council to allow new develop-

CREAMS

ments to occur, places too much emphasis on growth. “I have a problem with a home builder running a government and managing growth,” said Larry Holt, the second vice chair of the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People. Holt said money spent on development could be better spent elsewhere, such as on education and creating employment. “People are making decisions purely based on revenue and are not looking at what the cost will be when the projects are completed,” said Holt. He pointed to a 700-acre residential development on Sherron Road as an example of unnecessary urban growth. Some other local leaders, however, see Tennyson as a rational and fair mayor who attempts to understand all points of view. “He’s really spent a great deal of time trying to understand the [issues surrounding] the poorer areas of Durham,” said City Council member Dan Hill.“He’s been a mayor of all the people.”

Police in Commerce City, Colorado reported lest week thet 0 man who purchased a bottle of fruit punch at a local grocery store got a little more than he paid for...about three inches more. Juan SanchezMarchez, a 41-year-oid machine operator, was drinking a 20-ounce bottle of Ora-Potency Fruit Punch at work when he discovered a severed human penis in it. Authorities say the details as to how the floating phallus got into the bottle are stilt unknown, but one thing is certain: Sanchez-Marchez got more than his recommended daily allowance of disembodied man-member that day. "Hey! I ordered the vegetarian penis punch..." Sanchez-Marchez showed the less than appetizing addition to his 1 e-year-old son and his boss, who said it looked like a penis and suggested he call the police. Pathologists later positively identified the object as a male sexual reproductive organ. Wow.

Tenacious Mettle The new face of metal is here, and it’s got two chins.

Forget

about what Bono said at last year's Grammys; there's a new band competing for the title of Best Band in the World. They're fat, they're foulBy Kelly mouthed and one of them is bald. They're Tenacious D. Armed with two acoustic guitars and several chins, Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D—"the D," if you're nasty—are out to destroy everything in their path as they rise to god status in the Monster Rock Hall of Fame. Relentlessly selfpromoting and ridiculously self-obsessed, these two cherub-faced chunks of funk take rock 'n' roll satire to a whole new level. Spinal Tap would be proud—maybe even a little jealous. "Dude, we gotta fuckin' write something new," says Black at the beginning of Tenacious D's selftitled debut album. Gass agrees, and the two strum into "Kielbasa," a song about sausage and all of its possible sexual innuendoes. What follows is a mish-mash of acoustic jams, electricguitar-heavy power ballads and inter-song banter about food, robots and Black's amazing ability to do "cock push-ups." Far from embracing their anti-sex-symbol status, the beer-stained duo seem to be oblivious to their defects—singing of their sexual successes on the road like a couple of GRADE: pouty-lipped, big-eyed rock gods on a heroin diet. The sex god thing, the endless stream of R-rated insults hurled at Gass by Black, their claim to have written "The Best Song in the World" —it's all part of the act. But somewhere along the way, the act became legit. The D began as a live gig project, playing small clubs in LA. and trying to rock people's socks off, one show at a time. One night, Dave Cross of HBO's Mr. Show happened to be in the audi-

ence, and he invited the duo to lend their, um, talents to the skits. The two became regulars on the show, and the bit quickly grew to be even bigger than the portly pair. Soon, they found themselves McVicker opening for real bands like Beck and Pearl Jam, creating an increasingly large following of D-heads who would defend their unlikely heroes to the death The thing that actually makes the whole schtick work is simple: These guys are actually good. Black can do angelic falsetto. He can do guttural growl. He can do the tortured rock-epic wail just as well as any 70s rock superstar. Add that to Gass' acoustic skills and perfect-pitch harmonies, and you've got a real band. But the D doesn't stop there. For their first-ever recording, they've recruited Dave Grohl to play guitar and drums and Phish's Page McConnell on keyboards. As if that weren't enough to ensure their badass status, they got the Dust Brothers (who have worked with everyone from Hanson to the Beastie Boys) to produce the album. Amid the expletive-laced bitchy banter sit some legitimately good songs, although the duo never lets up on the heavy dose of humor throughout the album. In the rock 'n' roll saga "Tribute',' Black and Gass tell the story of how they were challenged by the devil himself to play the best song in the world, "or I’ll eat your souls." Black's interpretation of Satan is priceless in a troll-under-thebridge sort of way. Do the two stand up to Lucifer's challenge? Of course. Can they remember how the song went? Uh-uh. "We couldn't remember the greatest song in the world—this is just a tribute. You've gotta believe me," wails Black. And for some reason, knowing the D, you just do. □

for the nice

t n music, they’re so damned earnest Bless 'e so much tenderness, so nrK_ 've to pine about cryptically. Oily Knights and Gale Paridjian have charmed themselves into the adoring coos of the British music press, picking up a Mercury Prize (UK Grammy} and being heralded as the start of a transition toward a folkier, acoustic trend. Predictable Brit-press hype notwithstanding, Turin Brakes' debut LP The Optimist is charming and affable in the best nice-boy-with-guitar fashion, a refreshing breeze of beautifully wrought luminous sunsets and starry nights. I panic at the quiet times/ decisions at the door," sighs their single "The Door," somewhat contradicting the core of their sound, which is best at its quietest and most thoughtful. Their soft melodies, most winning on the album's blissfully sunny opener "Feeling Oblivion," are hesitant and expectant but yield to a calm reflection. They channel the spirits of Drake and Woody Guthrie (the woozy tenderness of "By TV Light") and sing of rusted rainbows and hazy hills. They ache to please, and you can almost imagine the groups of girls gazing tearily up at them as they their coffee-shop stools. The more active parts of the album them turning to more predictable sour although very competently so: "Undas good a U2 song as anything on that Jeff Buckley shines in"Min* id "Slack" h ban after s ( at Z' quit ''M •ained juvenile impulses that ruin a 'Future Boy" with lines like "Syphillis is a bitch/ but contracting HIV is much worse" or "My friends are all junkies/ but they're my friends/ as long as they don't use mo? keys"}. All that pining grows a little stale you kinda wish they'd find some other coshop to play in, or maybe learn a little something more about life than dreams of island paradises or whatever. Nice chaps, though.

Hunting Season What do Mos Def, a Dean Martin wannabe, a sultry alto and a jazz guitar virtuoso have in common? Probably not a lot, but when they get together, they make some damned good music. Charlie Hunter provides the glue that holds this unlikely combo together with his eight-string bass/guitar, a self-designed instrument GRADE: he uses to kick ass in his synthetic style of jazz, fusion, funk, blues and rock. The instrumental tracks on the album are flawless, but guest appearances make for Songs from the Analog Playgrounds most memorable moments. Newcomer Thorah Jones' velvety alto is beautiful on covers of Roxy Music's "More than This" and Nick Drake's "Day is Done." Blue Note singer Kurt Piling also lends his pipes to a pair of tracks, sounding like a mix between Dean Martin and the Music Man with his singspiel croon. But the guest of honor on the Charlie Hunter Quartet's effort is Mos Def, who transforms himself into a soft soul singer on "Creole," a song that will undoubtedly surprise fans who are more accustomed to hearing him lay down rhymes than sing bub-bah-dee-dooh lines over smooth jazz. Who knew Def had so much soul? —By Kelly McVicker

Superchunk Sings For Shutting Up Back in the day, Superchunk were known for creating their own raw brand of indie rock, defined by ragged guitar riffs and rock-out chords that said "Hey, look at us, we're a cool indie rock band. We have no need for fancy production or diverse instrumentation!" And it was good. But that was about ten years ago, and things have changed. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Merge, the label the band formed back in the early '9os to market their music, has recently moved from Chapel Hill to Its new digs in downtown Durham. Perhaps the tobacco fumes wafting through the city have tamed the band's twitches Here's to Shutting Up's best moments come when the —

guitars take a back seat and lead singer Mac McCaughan's sweet shy-boy falsetto floats above the cello and violin, as on the album's opener, "Late-Century Dream." Another highlight comes with the pedal-steel cameo on "Phone Sex," which creates a nice country groove that sounds a little like Mojave 3 with a smile. Don't be deceived by this new softer sound —Superchunk still rock out, but the snags are smoothed away by a more polished production style than on their previous albums. It seems the band has taken the album's title to

heart, embracing the subtle bliss of silence, even if only for a few moments at a time. —By Kelly McVicker

Jump, Little Children are the biggest little band on the brink, it took some time, but the group’s new album, Vertigo, is finally here-and it's well worth the wait. refer to Jump, Little Children's new offering, Vertigo, as merely the "longawaited follow-up to their last album" would be quite the understatement. Following their 1998 release, Magazine, the boys of J,LC seemed poised for super-stardom, or at least a healthy dose of radio time and some of the national recognition that had eluded them in the past. However, amidst all the anticipation, the train derailed along the way as their label, Breaking Records, was cut from its benefactor, Atlantic, leaving J,LC in the middle of a nasty divorce—and a finished Vertigo MIA in contractual purgatory. With nothing to offer a growing fan-base expecting a new album, the members of Jump, Little Children did the only thing they could: They toured. Swallowing any pride that may have developed on the verge of bigger things, J,LC returned to their East Coast grassroots touring, performing live —exercising and strengthening the loyalty of their patient supporters. In hopes of tiding over the faithful for a little longer, the band released The Early Years, Vol. One, a double CD re-release of Buzz and The Licorice Tea Demos, two early indie recordings. Finally, nearly a year since its recording, the on-again-off-again Vertigo is definitely on—this time for good—but two haunting questions accompany the arrival of J,LC's independently produced effort: "Will this be enough to sate the musical appetites of those waiting?" and "Can it put the band

back on track to national attention?" P II 11 ft M 1 ft The answers: Yes, definitely and yes...maybe. If Vertigo doesn't advance the career of Jump, Little Children, it won't be for lack of effort—or talent.The band has both to boot, and they aren't afraid to showcase either. Vertigo is a truly impressive rebound, reaffirming the legitimacy they attained three years ago, although possessing a slightly different sound than Magazine. It's still J,LC, but there is an enhanced musical maturity and spiritual revamping that is to be expected given their recent adversity. For those unfamiliar with Jump, Little Children, it's difficult to pinpoint the group's musical style, which may owe to their numerous scenery changes on the way to success. From their very early days studying at the North Carolina School of the Arts to playing pubs in Ireland and coffee houses in Boston to busking on the streets of Charleston, South Carolina (a city the band still calls home), Jump, Little Children have honed their craft in numerous different settings with greatly varying musical scenes. Luckily, they never left a city without taking something with them., and J.LC's music still reflects their well-traveled roots. The result: splashes of classical, Irish, Brit-pop, and acoustic and electric

rock that converge into a unique, dynamic sound that is ultimately indefinable yet undeniably enjoyable. Lead singer Jay Clifford makes his vocal dexterity evident on Vertigo as his haunting, silky voice melts effortlessly into orchestral strings before reverberating violently off electric guitars. Joined by band mates Evan Bivins, Matt Bivins, Jonathan Gray and Ward Williams, the ensemble never falls short of spectacular, creating an intricate arrangement of harmony-driven power ballads and stunningly euphonic instrumentation. And speaking of instruments —these boys are multitalented and fond of some wild cards. Don't be surprised to hear accordions, cellos, harmonicas, mandolins, and tin whistles—it's a musical grab bag, and it's beautiful. Vertigo is chock full of the melancholy and emotion that defines J,LC.The album flows gracefully from track to track, making the sum even greater than its parts—so much so that recognizing the best individual tracks is admittedly difficult. The album opens solidly with "Vertigo," the first single and title track. Somber yet catchy, Clifford's vocal lamentations hit home early as he sings, "Take me down/ down to where the rain falls/ down where the rain can wash away this high/ I feel I've gone beyond the edge and falling/falling like tears that turn to snow/ falling in this vertigo." The desperation continues with the next track, "Angeldust," a falsetto-filled masterpiece, in Mi ft Ifp r c which Clifford croons, "Under the angeldust and the terminus the heavens have already been turned/ caught in the circling high of a cloudy high is a feeling that I'm gonna get burned." The sentiment, or at least the tempo, is picked up on the next song, "Too High," an energetic beat-heavy rocker —but don't get too comfortable because the pace changes soon after, as tracks like "Hold Your Tongue" and —

"Lover's Greed" show off the band's Gaelic influences. "Come Around" and "Made it Fine" restore the power-pop flavor, but not for long. "Singer," easily the most distinctive track on Vertigo, sees Bivins taking over the vocal duties in a soft and sexy jazz-like beat poem. "Pigeon," with its slow and haunting sound, sets Vertigo down quietly after its diverse musical flight and wraps up the album nicely. It may have taken awhile to get here, but it was worth the wait. As Bivins described, "Vertigo has arrived by cesarean section. It's been difficult. But we still love the little tyke so much. And we know that you will, too." And he's absolutely right.

with lie flu iliclfiekti Jump, Little Children are in the middle of a big fat tour across the Southwest, promoting their latest release, Vertigo. Recess Music Editor Kelly McVicker caught up with the harmonica and accordion-playing, slow-jam-singing Matthew Bivins to talk about the new CD, life on the road and hypothetical brawls among

his favorite cartoon dogs.

I caught your show when you guys were at the Cradle in June, and it seemed to me that you were sort of the wild card of the band. I mean. you played the tin whistle and the harmonica and a little bit of everything. Are you still going to be doing that on the Vertigo tour? Definitely, that's my little schtick. This tour is a little different in that we're definitely focusing on the Vertigo songs. I think when you saw us in June we were trying to play a lot of older songs because we'd just released a compilation of older stuff, but this is a very Vertigo-heavy tour, which we're excited about because we're glad that people can finally start singing along to these songs. Now they can get the albums and learn the music and it's always more fun that way. It seems that Vertigo is more mellow and introspective than your earlier stuff. How does that translate into your stage show? I think it's really great because it gives people a variety of emotions in the songs, from the bouncier songs of Magazine to the more personal and dramatic Vertigo songs. With this album we wanted to be more honest, and I think we achieved that. Our father wasn't doing well when these songs were written, and I think we put a lot of that into this. And then, we were falling in love with people, and we put a lot of that into Vertigo. So you've got songs that are happy, really triumphant, you've got songs that are really kind of sad, and then you've got a few pop songs. But I think as far as a live show goes, it all works really well. This CD has been in the works for awhile because of label difficulties, right? Yeah, at least a full year. We started recording it last year in L.A., and it should have come out in May of this year, but we got stuck in some really nasty label issues and we just came to an agreement a couple of months ago, so it was a very, very frustrating year. It shouldn't have happened that way, but it did, so we're trying to make the best of it. So how did the EZ Chief label come about? When we knew that we did not want to be with Breaking Records anymore after they were dropped from Atlantic, we said, "We want to put this out on our own, we don't want to stay with you," and they made it very difficult for us to make that decision. But we were resolute, and we said, "Well, what we're gonna do is start our own label." And so EZ Chief is something that Johnny says all the time—"eeezy, chief"—it's a little saying of his, and we decided that it was a fun name for a label. We hope that EZ Chief will eventually be able to put out more of our albums. You have the kind of rare privilege of being in a band with your brother—what's that like? Do you guys ever fight like Liam and Noel Gallagher? [laughs] Well, no, um, we decided when the band got really serious that we were not going to be

brothers. We keep our brotherness to Christmas and Thanksgiving. And it's worked out surprisingly well. We have to be friends and deal with each other as friends rather than as relatives. But then he's like my friend that always comes home with me for the holidays, so I'm really lucky. 1 love that. The song you sing on the CD, "Singer" is one of my favorites. It seems really literal, like you're describing a specific time and place and person, and then it also seems really stark. Is it hard to get up onstage and do that? Well, it's interesting because I've been promising my girlfriend that the songs 1 write are not about specific incidents. 1 would tell her this for a long time because it was true for me for a long time. And then I sat down and "Singer" came out and it is very specific—it's very specific to a time that we both shared. So in away, it is hard because it is about actual events that I can remember, but it's also really fun because I can always bring back that moment when I'm performing it. It helps me to think of her when we're far apart. Who's your favorite teen pop dream? Well, I really like Britney. I've been sort of obsessed with Britney Spears since we played France two years ago, because I'd never heard of her before we went to Paris and she was really, really huge there. French MTV only has four videos that they play—l mean, it was really silly. You could turn on MTV in France and within five minutes you'd see that "Baby Baby" video. I'd never heard of her, I thought she was like French or English or something. It became a goal of mine to see that video every time before I left the hotel room. Ever since then I've always had a soft spot for Britney. If there were a fight between Underdog, Hong Kong Foo and Droopy, who would win? I'd have to go with Flong Kong, even though Underdog was our champion on the last tour, because he's just supercool. If he would have fit into our theme, we would have used Flong Kong. 1 like Droopy a lot, but I think Droopy would be more interested in getting out of the fight. And now for the ultimate Recess question, as created by former Music Editor Robert Kelley: if you were a vowel, would you want an umlaut over your head? I don't think I would need an umlaut because I've never really understood them. I would say that Ward Williams would absolutely, definitely want an umlaut because it's so incredibly rock n' roil. In fact, a lot of times when he signs his name he puts a couple umlauts over the 'a's in his name. Ward is definitely the umlaut lover. Matt and the rest of the band will be in the area on Oct. 11, performing live at the Record Exchange in Chapel Hill at s:3opm and at Cat's Cradle later that

night. Go check them out.

The Licorice Tea Demos (1995) Jump, Little

Children's first creative effort as a group, The Licorice Tea Demos, ents a funky collection of some of the band's earliest (and roughest) recordings. Before large budgets and fancy studio equipment, there was this fun, infectious indie gem, filled with Irish-inspired acoustic rock. Introducing themselves as formidable musicians, the members of J,LC showed off their instrumental skills on everything from harmonicas and mandolins to anvils and cauldrons. Memorable tracks on LTD include an early, jumping version of "Opium" and the melodic "Dancing Virginia"—both still fan favorites, as well as the quick rhyming "Quiet" and "U Can Look."

Buzz (1997) The second release from Jump, Little

Children, Buzz is comprised of three live shows recorded at the Music Farm in" , Charleston, SC, the Georgia Theater in Athens, GA, and Ziggy's in Winston-Salem Following the success of The Licorice Tea Demos, Buzz quickly became a must-have for J,LC's rapidly growing fan base. Another strong indie showing, Buzz propelled Jump, Little Children even closer to a shot at securing a label. Buzz's six tracks include "I Can Feel You," "Easter Parade," "Bad Side," "Innocent Kiss," "Underground Elite" and a re-mixed version of "Opium" featuring Gran Torino.

Magazine (199 Magazine was Jump, Little

Children's first major-label

release. Signed by Breaking Recor branch of Atlantic owned by Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish, Jump, Little Children's music got a face-lift, as a much more refined sound emerged from their raw, independent ashes. A definite step toward pop-rock, Magazine broadened the J,LC following even further with limited but well-received radio play and set the tone for a newer, fresher, plugged-in band. Soft ballads such as "Cathedrals" and "Close Your Eyes" complement pop favorites such as "Come Out Clean" and "My Guitar" in addition to hip rock-raps like "Habit" and "Body Parts."

Model Citizen Zoolandei*s no cult classic, but Stiller still scores. I approached Ben Stiller's newest film, Zoolander, with confidence. Maybe too much

three-time champ Zoolander (who, despite losing, rushes up to the podium to accept his award anyway). As the new up-and-comer, Hansel is of course bitter competition for Derek. Therein lies the dilemma. Wilson is best when he is teamed up with a group of his friends or family. His wry and offthe-wall sense of humor, combined with his crooked nose and wild blonde hair, serves as a perfect counterbalance to other characters who share with him in the same mission. Notable examples are Wilson's breakout performance in

confidence. Its trailer and concept are the type that turn some movie fans giddy and turn others completely off. I was in the category of the former. A quirky, tongue-in-cheek comedy with Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell, along with cameos from just about everyone else in Hollywood, was exactly what I needed following this month's national chaos. Zoolander looked like it had the potential for the brilliant Bottle Rocket and his greatness. Early comparisons to movies like Rushmore and Austin By Alex Garinger supporting roles in films like Powers—off-beat comedies that Armageddon and Shanghai Noon. better it of In most only get upon repeat viewings—made Zoolander, however, Hansel and even more appealing. are pitted against each other.

YOU BETTER WORK: Stiller's cover boy proves he's too sexy.

Atlantis Sinks Five years ago, a director named Scott Hicks was the talk of the town—he had completed the dark and inspiring Shine, a noble film. Since then he has slouched—twice. First he gave us the slowest film of 1999, Snow Falling on Cedars. This year, Hicks gives us the sappiest film of 2001 (so far): Hearts in Atlantis. Ted Brautgian (Anthony Hopkins), is a mysterious drifter who moves into the upstairs apartment of Elizabeth Garfield (Hope Davis). Elizabeth has a son named Bobby (Anton Yelchin). Bobby is a boy with troubles—his father was a drunken gambler and his widowed mother is a workaholic who has little regard for her son—except for the impulse to control him. We are never given any explanation for why Elizabeth is that way—she just seems to be a control freak by nature, it's an empty caricature. The same cannot be said of Hopkins' and Yelchin's characters—both are exceptionally well developed and well acted. Hopkins' voice captures the mystery of the character, it's one of his best performances and he fits so well that it is hard to see any other actor in the part. Yelchin is also strong. He brings William Goldman's inept screenplay to life, giving the words more believability than they deserve. That's an impressive accomplishment In itself—the usually reliable Goldman has given us children who talk like adults and adults who act like children. Nice idea—it doesn't work. At the heart of the film is the relationship between Hopkins and Yelchin. The old man serves as a kind of mentor to the young boy, helping him to adjust not only to a life without a father, but a life with GRADE: such a louse of a mother. He also g* teaches Bobby things—including the secret behind his special powers. The story is in general heartwarming and interesting—it's based on a Stephen King novel. Even Hicks' hapless direction cannot muck that up. But Hicks' direction can give us a meandering conclusion, an all-too-obvious possible pedophilic moment, faceless supporting characters and a final nostalgic scene that we've seen many times (twice already in this film).

TV Tackles Tragedy Recess chats with CNN reporter Patty Davis. Patty Davis has worked as a producer and correspondent for CNN since 1984. She has reported on a range of stories, including the Cuban economic crisis, Hurricane Floyd and the home run race between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. She is currently a general assignment correspondent at CNN's Washington bureau. Davis has also just surpassed the nine-month mark on her first pregnancy. Vision Editor Beth lams talked to her about her perspective as a CNN reporter during the events of Sept. 11.

Were you in the office the morning of Sept. 11? I was actually on vacation, running errands when I got the call from my boss: "A jumbo jet has just crashed into the World Trade Center. You need to .get down here right away." Since I cover aviation for CNN, among other things, I knew I needed to be there, i was getting ready at home as fast as I could, I turned on CNN and watched the second plane hit the building. Live. And I knew right then this wasn't a plane crash story, but it was terrorism When I got to the office there were about 50 people in the newsroom all shouting, trying to mobilize. Then the assignment editor yelled "plane down by Pentagon! Plane down short of National." I looked over the horizon from my window, and there was just a huge plume of black smoke. And

was so focused on doing their job. People have a right to know what happened, and we needed to get out the information—how and when—as soon as we could. This was a national event, and through CNN, the television coverage served to unite Americans.

How did you reconcile your personal reaction with your professional role? It was a delayed reaction on me. 1 was so focused on trying to get the information together and reported, it didn't really hit me until later in the week, [when] I started having trouble sleeping. I'm still having trouble. But when it's happening, you have to wall yourself off from it. You can't afford the time to be emotional.

Hmm

television event. Only 23 days after the tragic events of Sept. 11, a prime-time drama addressed the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., Wednesday night. But was The West Wing's special episode— , set several weeks after an unspecified terrorist attack by Islamic extremists—a success? That depends on whom you ask. NBC is certainly whistling the show's theme, after the episode scooped up an 18.0 rating and a 26 share nationwide, capturing the evening's biggest audience. The media's reactions, on the other hand, were mixed. Some claimed the episode was nothing more than West Wing creator and writer Aaron Sorkin standing on a soapbox, letting his characters give unmoving and idealistic liberal lectures to a group of too-smart high school seniors during a White House lockdown. Others applauded Sorkin's quick turn-around of a topic still hitting deep at the hearts of Americans. Personally, this West Wing diehard was completely satisfied. The main goal was to put everyone's fears into perspective, and the mission was accomplished. Did we learn that much new about the terrorists? Probably not. Did we know from the beginning that the connection to the Islamic staffer {and the reason for the White House lockdown) was unfounded? Probably. If there is a valid criticism, it's that there wasn't much emotional punch to the episode. However, watching television this past month has been gut-wrenching enough, and an optimistic outlook on our national tragedy-—especially one so skillfully executed —is certainly a welcome relief. —By Alex Garinger �

COVERING TRAGEDY: CNN reporter Patty Davis covered the unfolding Sept 11 events from the network's Washington, D.C., bureau, now it was a 'D.C.' story too. CNN was a very loud place that day.

What did you do?

I started making phone calls to the [Federal Aviation Administration]. They were giving some information, but weren't really seeing the magnitude [of the crisis]. But, it was the FAA that had alerted the defense [department]. What was the mood in the newsroom? This is the beauty of CNN. Everyone is so professional here during breaking news. Everyone

What do you see as the role of CNN in crisis coverage? This is definitely the danger of live, global television. There was concern during Kosovo and during the bombings of Iraq, where people worried about the "CNN factor" and if [lraq] would know what [U.S. strategy] was planning based on CNN coverage. I don't know if the terrorists were planning for the cameras rolling when the second plane hit, but I guess this is just the nature of television today. I mean, the U.S. military gets information from CNN. Where do you draw the line?

Walltown Children’s Theater gives middle schoolers a chance to learn and perform.

all began seven years ago at Durham's Rogers-Herr Middle School. That's where Joseph Henderson first began teaching Shakespeare to children and

developed his program, "Shakespeare Through the Eyes of the Middle School." Henderson developed the curriculum to introduce masterpieces of literature to children in away they could understand. "If Hamlet is called a masterpiece, then there must be something in it for everyone," Henderson said. But how do you relate Hamlet to children in Durham in the early 21st century? Henderson captures the issues of the play and explains them in terms the kids can relate to. By making analogies By Cary between Hamlet and real life, Henderson helps the kids to absorb the complex plot. With modern parallels in mind, they are ready to tackle the language, which is sometimes difficult for many adults to comprehend The Rogers-Herr production of Hamlet proved to be not only successful, but also unique. With the help of the Duke Club of Washington, the children performed Hamlet on the stage of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and gained national news coverage on CNN and National Public Radio. The following year Henderson returned to the Kennedy Center a second time with Romeo and Juliet. Back in Durham, Henderson began teaching Shakespeare at the five Dukesupported middle schools in the city. His energy and intensity about his work are evident in the way he speaks. Henderson recalled one of his secrets to working with the kids: "To be at my very best, I have to be as fast as the

make it fun A year ago this October, Henderson and his wife, Cynthia, founded the Walltown Children's Theater, where they teach classes and put on plays. Now Henderson's Shakespeare program has a new home and he has the resources to teach other performing arts areas and produce other plays. Children ranging from ages eight to 14 can take different levels of dance, tap, fencing and acting. Cynthia has also started a class called "Gingerbread Jam" for four- to five-year olds. The class is a combination of disciHughes plines so younger kids can find different ways of learning art through imagery. "If kids can imagine—imagination is where it all begins—then they can create,"Cynthia Henderson said. This past summer, Walltown Children's Theater put on a hip-hop production of Romeo and Juliet in the parking lot. Now, the kids are working on a show tentatively entitled Bangie about gang life based on real events. The group is writing the show as they go and hope to perform it at a national conference on gangs in June.The show will then tour Durham's housing projects and community centers in hopes of raising awareness about gangs and changing kids' decisions to join them. Friday at 11am and s;3opm, Walltown is hosting a presentation of their work for the Yates Baptist Church Preschool, but all are welcome. Tucked one block off Club Boulevard on Berkeley Street, Walltown is certainly one of Durham's hidden treasures. □

Written by Christopher Durang, who also authored The Actor's Nightmare and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All to You, Therapy retains its freshness even almost 20 years after its Broadway premiere. It begins like a bad Blind Date episode, with one of the personal ad respondents quickly exposing his allegiance to bran muffins over God and his ability cry. In fact, all three of the play's thirty-something characters and their therapists expose and agonize over their issues with sexual persuasion, depression and relationships.

Jackets look to sting Blue Devils Bonds bombs 70th, ties Big Mac’s mark

By HAROLD GUTMANN The Chronicle

Of all the quarterbacks who have set up under center in the past 48 seasons of ACC football, none have had a better career thus far than Georgia Tech’s George Godsey. The senior quarterback has a career pass efficiency rating of 151.19, ahead of former conference signal callers Chris Weinke and Joe Hamilton—the next two on the all-time list. “George is a great competitor” Yellow Jacket head coach George O’Leary said. “What he may lack in foot movement he makes up for between his ears as far as making the right decisions.” If Duke (0-4, 0-2 in the ACC) does not believe all the statistics showing Godsey’s prowess, it can just look at the game film from

last year. Godsey threw only 18 passes but completed 11 for 212 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kelly Campbell. This season Godsey has completed 69 percent of his passes for 820 yards in four games, throwing for six touchdowns and an interception. Because of Godsey and Campbell’s performance, No. 17 See FOOTBALL on page 16

Women’s soccer attempts to stop Tigers, Seminoles By KIYA BAJPAI The Chronicle

To salvage their season, the women’s soccer team (4-4, 0-2 in ACC) needs to pull off some big wins at Clemson today and Florida State Sunday. Despite a 3-1 loss to North Carolina Tuesday, the Blue Devils are enthusiastic and ready for this weekend. Carly Fuller, who scored Duke’s lone goal in the last few seconds during the Carolina game, knows that this weekend will be huge for a team that needs two wins. “We proved [against Carolina] that we can play with the best teams,” she said. “We just haven’t gotten the results we’ve wanted.” Coach Robbie Church was pleased with the way his team played against Carolina and hopes it duplicates its effort. Although the team has been playing well, the players know that the games this weekend will not be easy. Clemson (6-1) was ranked ninth after downing ACC rival Virginia, 4-0. Sophomore Lindsey Browne scored three goals against UVa. She ranks ninth in the nation in assists per game and has been the catalyst for Clemson’s offense. Church said that Clemson plays like the Tar Heels and that Duke’s main job is to deny their powerful front-runners the ball. “We also have got to be able to put the ball in the back of the net,” Church said. JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE Florida State (7-3) has had a successful season MAEGAN LOBO-BERG and the women’s soccer team will play twice this weekend. as well with the best start in their history.

Wynter celebrated ml JBSS

Freshman women’s basketball player Wynter Whitley's high school jersey is currently being displayed in the Ring of Honor at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn.

Church knows that they may not have as much power in front as Clemson or UNC, but that “they have demonstrated a great deal of good playing with their record.” Despite the tough competition they will face this weekend, the Blue Devils are confident. Junior defender Rebecca Smith believes that the unity on the field is great and that everyone is playing with aggression and a good attitude. “I feel like we’ve gelled a lot as a team,” Smith said. “We’re just going to play our game.” Fuller believed their greatest strength lately has been “playing with our hearts.” Although the past weeks have been injury plagued for the Blue Devils, many are recovering. Gwendolyn Oxenham, who was out for three weeks with a knee injury, is looking to return this weekend. Oxenham had an outstanding freshman year as one of the staple parts of Duke’s offense, and is very ready to get back on track. “I think I’m going to have a ton of adrenaline,” the sophomore said. Fifth year senior Kasey Truman, also out with a knee injury, is not yet expected to play. Church, however, is excited to finally see his team recovering and says that Oxenham especially will get some playing time this weekend. Duke beat Clemson once last season but was knocked out of the NCAA tournament by the Tigers. The Blue Devils also pulled off a win last year against FSU with a score of 3-2.

Rarely is the Duke men’s soccer team (4-3) an unquestionable underdog in a game, but such will be the case in both of the Blue Devils’ matches this weekend at the Rutgers Philips/adidas Soccer Classic against both the host school and St. John’s. Coach John Rennie is relishing the opportunity to surprise some highlyranked opponents. “It’s kind of fun,” he said. “Last year, we were number one in the country when we played both of these teams... It’s a tremendous amount of pressure being the higher-ranked team. It’s kind of fun for me—maybe not for the players—it’s kind of fun to be the underdog and say all right nobody expects us to win. We [can] just go out and make a statement.” Forward Jordan Cila also likes the opportunity to take on a high-caliber opponent without as much pressure. “We know we’re not underdogs,” Cila said. “But we like that situation because all the pressure’s on the other team. People aren’t expecting all that

score many goals.” After a day off, Duke faces fourthranked St. John’s (5-0-1) Sunday. Duke may find scoring even tougher against the Red Storm, as starting goalie Guy Hurtz has allowed just two goals this year, giving him a 0.32 goals against average. Senior Jeff Matteo leads the team with four goals. If Duke’s recent play is any indication, the weekend’s games look to be

much of us.” People might not be expecting all that much of the Blue Devils’ offense when they take on the Scarlet Knights (4-1-2), ranked ninth by the Soccer Times, tonight at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J. Rutgers is led by senior Dennis Ludwig and an experienced supporting cast. The team plays conservative, counter-attacking soccer and has not been beaten in its last five contests. “Rutgers is a very strong defensive

low-scoring. “Defensively we’ve played extremely well,” Rennie said. “We’ve played well offensively, but we haven’t scored enough goals.” One person who has been scoring goals, team points leader Jordan Cila, thinks these games have the potential to be more open. “Most of the teams we have played are physical, hard-nosed teams,” he said. “These two teams try to play [an open-style game]. That’s the kind of style we play. So it’s going to be pretty soccer, it’s going to be fun to play. The ball is going to be moving. There’s going to be a lot of creative stuff.” The trip to New Jersey marks a homecoming of sorts for the Jericho, N.Y., native. “I have a huge guest list already,” Cila said. “I am excited to go back to the tri-state area [and] play there. I have a lot of friends and family there. So I am excited.” On defense, Duke is led by defender Kevin Sakuda and goalie Scott Maslin, who has a 0.57 goals against average and has played every minute this year.

OWOICHO ADOGWA and theBlue Devil offense look to increase their goal production this weekend, Sakuda was quick to praise the entire team on the strong defensive effort so far this season. “It’s not just the back four and the goalie. I think we’ve been defending well as a team,” the senior captain said. This is the second year in a row that

Duke has traveled to a prestigious Big East tournament. Last year, Duke lost to St. John’s and Connecticut at the Huskies’ tournament after losing to Rutgers in the preseason. “I’d much rather play these games

than lesser opponents,” Rennie said.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. While fearless leader Craig “I’m no” Saperstein jetted off to Massachusetts for K’s Coach Basketball Hall of Fame induction, everything came undone back at the Grid Pickers’ home office. Paul “Tyler” Doran claimed to be the rightfully appointed regent in the sports department, but Kevin “is probably the” Lees “t talented person working for the Chronicle” and Jim “you can’t” Herriott; “messing up the front page takes time” began plotting to stage a coup. To get Lees and Herriott off his back, Doran suggested that they, along with “slick” Nick Christie and Kevin “my hubris is un-al” Lloyd travel to Las Vegas for their respective inductions to the Ego Hall of Fame. “Sweet dude,” Lees said. “I finally get the respect I deserve. Craig may have won the sports editor election, but I’m going to Vegas.”

Doran grunted, thoroughly unimpressed by Lees’ bragging. “But I have to study for the LSATs,” Herriott whined. “The thought of losing to Brody makes my flesh crawl.” Greg “I can’t help but scratch; I’ve got” Veis was fresh from squatting 50 pounds at the gym, when he entered The Chronicle’s office. “Send me to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Veis squealed to Drew “I de” Klein “to comment” ’s great dismay. Doran looked perplexed before turning to the local experts on things artistic, the Socialists. Ambika Ku “coo” mar, Dave “Mart” Ingram “mattica is a kicker for the Buccaneers” and Martin Barna “rd” said that would be acceptable as long as he brought along Tyler “I” Rosen “the early morning to the sound of construction” and they each produced totally over-written, fact-deficient articles.

Volleyball plays Terps, Cavaliers ByGABEGITHENS The Chronicle

Practice this week for the Duke volleyball team (111,3-1 in the ACC) was a bit different from any other this year because the players had to deal with defeat. The Blue Devils lost their first match of the season last Saturday night, suffering a 3-1 loss to North Carolina, After waiting six long days for a chance at redemption, Duke will venture up to College Park, Md., to take on the Terrapins (6-6, 2-2) Friday night. Following their match with Maryland they will hit the road again for a battle with the Virginia Cavaliers (5-6,1-3) Saturday.

Duke’s setter Arielle Linderman thought the week off

BARRY BONDS belted his 70th home offAstros’ rookie Wilfredo Rodriguez during Thursday night’s game at Enron Field

was a bit rough with a loss still lingering in her head. “I think it was tough having an entire week off,”

Linderman said. “Some players said T want to playright now to show that we’re better than this.’” Friday, the Blue Devils get their shot against the Terrapins, who own a mediocre record, but have an experienced team that is capable of winning matches. Outside hitter Carey Brennan leads the team in kills per game as well as in overall kills. Junior Lindsay Davey, the Terrapins setter, is also a threat with her deadly serve that led to 72 aces thus far in the season. Despite the strengths of a few Maryland players, Duke must focus on the entire Maryland team. This week they tried to concentrate on the mental aspect of the game in preparation for this weekend. “We focused on a lot of mental things,” Linderman said. “We need to be able to focus for an extremely long period of time. We had a lot of long rallies we lost against UNC.” The Cavaliers boast two strong hitters on the outside, Paige Davis and Jenny Harmon. Duke’s blocking and defensive strategies will be crucial Saturday night. “Virginia has a different style than Maryland,” Nagel said. “They have a good middle and an experienced setter. We’re going to have to play well in both of these matches to be successful.” The Blue Devils worked on passing and defense this week—two facets of the game at which they failed against UNC. Nagel talked about what her team must do Friday. “I think it was a little bit tough for us because we tried to look at what we didn’t do on Saturday,” Nagel said. “We need to make sure we will be in the right frame of mind.”

Bonds nails one on his last at bat � BONDS from page 11 tom of the ninth, was mobbed by teammates who were in the Giants bullpen, then was replaced and left waving his cap. “I got frustrated when it was 8-1 and they intentionally walked me because it was not a really cru-

cial situation. That’s when I got really frustrated,”

Bonds said.

Bonds’ 70th homer marked the second big achievement of the day in the majors. Earlier, Rickey Henderson of San Diego scored his 2,246th career run and broke Ty Cobb’s record. Bonds hit his 564th career home run, moving him past Reggie Jackson—a distant relative—for seventh place on the all-time list. Among those cheering for Bonds was his godfather, Hall of Earner Willie Mays, who ranks third on the career list with 660 homers. Bonds’ father, former major leaguer Bobby, was at the Giants’ first two games in Houston. The team, however, believed he had to leave town before seeing his son make history. Bonds connected on a 1-1 pitch from Rodriguez, a 22-year-old lefty making only his second major league appearance. Bonds took a huge cut and missed the first pitch, watched a ball up and in, then launched a 93-mph fastball into the stands. The ball was caught by Charles Murphy ofHouston. Bonds, a 10-time All-Star who could be headed to his record fourth MVP award, had never hit more than 49 home runs in a season before this year.

throwing the ball with a lot more authority [and] with quicker decisions. [Chris Douglas] is a quick guy that has caused people problems. And they have good receivers. They’re a much improved football team, there’s no question.” Georgia Tech will be the third top-20 team the Blue Devils have faced this

season, and if Duke wants to achieve a different result this time it must avoid penalties and physical lapses. Last week, while the offense was able to move the ball effectively, gaining 23 first downs and generating over 300 yards of offense, the team hurt itself with costly and unnecessary penalties and other mental mistakes once it reached Virginia territory.

“Somewhere between

the [oppo-

nent’s] 48- and 30-yard line, it seems like most of the problems happen,” Franks said. “We either make a mistake, a penalty that happens to us or something that we physically do that causes us to stall in that area.” Georgia Tech has its own worries coming off a draining 47-44 overtime loss to Clemson. But O’Leary isn’t worried about any lasting effect. “If you let a game like that go and don’t bring it to attention, it can cause problems,” O’Leary said. “But I hashed it over with the team pretty g00d.... That stuff is all correctable. You just

have to continue to work on it, and Duke is a game that we’ve got to be ready to play.”

When Duke Has the Ball

When Georgia Tech Has the Ball Joe Burns is one of the best running backs in the ACC. Coming in at 336 yards and three touchdowns, he is third in the ACC in rushing and fifth in scoring, averaging nine points per game. Couple that with a weak defensive line and you have a mismatch, baby!

</)

3 CC

With 820 yards, George Godsey ranks fourth in the ACC in passing. Meanwhile, his favorite target, Kelly Campbell, leads the ACC in receiving yards, despite the fact he has only scored two touchdowns. Look for that number to increase this week.

(/) (/)

Georgia Tech kicker Luke Manget averages nine points per game and has 36 total on the year. One of Duke’s bright spots this season has been its special team defense, so look for the Magnet’s average to decrease—but only because he’s kicking extra points

<D CO CLO)

H C/) 3 CC

Unquestionably the best player on the 2001 Duke team has been Chris Douglas, who with even a half-decent offensive line would run all over most of the rest of the ACC. Even though the Yellow Jackets have a good line Douglas should break out at least once this game.

Pas ing

D. Bryant has improved immensely, completing nearly 50 percent of his passes and ranking fifth in the ACC in passing. He has neither the offensive line to stop a top-25 team, or the receivers to get open and then catch the ball.

.5 {2 CD

</)^

Punting blunders have regularly cost Duke games or momentum in games throughout the course of the season, and against the Ramblin’ Wreck things will not be any different. If Duke can prevent punting problems, it will have a moral victory.

Duke wouldn’t have a shot even if Georgia Tech had beaten Clemson last weekend. But that loss may have cost the Yellow Jackets at least a share of the ACC title, and possibly a berth in the Bowl Championship Series. Duke, on the other hand, has been reeling since they haven’t racked up a win yet. Last time, GeorgiaTech had even a close game, they came back with a 70-7 thrashing of Navy—and Navy has actually won at least one game out of its last 16. Look for the Yellow Jackets to spoil Duke’s homecoming in possibly even worse fashion. Georgia Tech wins 56-10. —Compiled by Paul Doran

Fighting for free speech

Additional

attacks upon the basic freedoms and rights that Americans hold dear took place last week, and hardly anyone batted an eye. Although these acts did not kill thousands of Americans, they nonetheless struck deeply at a fundamental American right—freedom ofspeech—and even emanated from the White House. One such controversy began on the ABC show Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher Sept. 17. Maher’s comment that, “lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly,” resulted in a firestorm of criticism, including the loss of two prominent advertisers from the show. In response to the remarks, White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer said Sept. 26, “It’s a terrible thing to say, and it’s unfortunate. There are reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do, and this is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.” Fleischer’s comments and their suspiciously accidental omission from official transcripts are inappropriate in the free and open society that provides America’s foundation. Americans do not need to be bombarded by threats from government officials, especially ones threatening to take away or seriously impair basic freedoms. Such comments do nothing to help the United States fight terrorism. Instead, they further strain discourse, with those opposing the official American response branded as traitors and cowards. One publication even fired a columnist—Dan Guthrie ofThe Daily Courier in Grants Pass, Ore.—for voicing his beliefs. The national media bears some responsibility for the overzealousness, with many days of patriotic coverage that stretched the limits of their integrity. Journalists, like most people, have been impacted by the attacks, but their feelings are not an excuse to provide inadequate coverage that focuses too much on fancy titles, such as “America’s New War,” and too little emphasis on the substance of thorough reporting. Still, the media has begun to evaluate its recent coverage and is endeavoring to balance it. Hopefully, people in other fields will be as open-minded. Censoring views callously ignores the spirit offree speech. Coming out of the Revolutionary War, the Founding Fathers had reasons for including the First Amendment’s protections in the Bill of Rights. They were written to protect Americans even during crises. While guns and bombs may be a necessity for physically fighting terrorism abroad, the preservation ofbasic American rights and freedoms is a battle that must also be waged and won. If Americans are unwilling to protect their core beliefs, then perhaps the terrorists have succeeded.

Hatred, ignorance often serve as roots for atrocities Since the attacks of Sept, 11, the United States has engaged itself in debate that is often characterized by the same message and consistent criticism of dissent. It seems that Balamurali Ambati’s guest commentary is simply one more of these condemnations. However, the ignorance it displays makes its condescending tone totally unacceptable. begins by Ambati

Let’s not provide the seeds of hatred fertile soil in this country, let alone the war-tom areas of denouncing dissenters as Ambati depicts millions of the world which we so often having “cranium-in-the-rec- Muslims, from Nigeria to the ignore or misunderstand. turn justifications.” The Philippines, as having the The United States should be entire letter is filled with same perverted goals as the filled with differing opinions such childish remarks and Taliban, Perhaps Ambati as it is the only way to reach lacks any clear or original should follow his own advice an understanding in times thesis other than the sup- and separate religion from such as these.

Perhaps the kids were living the Epicurean fantasy we previously knew only as bad Dave Matthews lyrics: “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may die.” Or, more seriously, one of the great mantras of the Jewish faith: L’chaim—to life, as it is today. Maybe living an escapist fantasy of peppy feelgoodism is a healthy reaction to tragedy. Maybe these times, more than others, demand that we live for today. Certainly, thinking about tomorrow is

Annoying things on campus The longer I stay here in the Gothic Wonderland, the more perplexed I become by the rituals and actions of certain individuals. For instance, last week, as I was attempting to leave the Sociology/Psychology building after a 2:15 class in the afternoon, I ran into an enormous line of people waiting to get out through the main entrance. I did not think much of it because it had been thundering pretty loudly during class, so I assumed that it was still raining and people were merely afraid of getting wet. J|f, When I finally neared the entrance, however, I did not see rain, Evan but instead two students sitting on Lee the steps Jeading into the building, obliviously working on a crossword puzzle. And instead of kicking the two of them down the stairs, the people were going single file past the students so as not to disturb their quest to find an eight-letter word for devitalize. I don’t entirely understand the intense rage I felt towards these two people, and I am at a loss for words when I see people sitting on the benches outside of Alpine Bagels. Is there something stylish about sitting between a trash receptacle and a giant recycling bin? I would think that the rank stench of decomposing Chick-fil-A would inhibit conversation. I also cannot comprehend why we lack a parking garage. Despite the enormous “parking crunch” that gets worse every year, our administrators have so far refused to go ahead and actually make parking easier for students. Some people claim that it would not look good aesthetically. And I’ll admit that when you

A New York state of mind How we chose the theme for the Homecoming supplement Homecoming. Whether this word brings to mind football, dances on the quad or single alumni looking for free beer and easy dates, you probably have to admit that Homecoming at Duke is a little different from Homecoming at most universities. For one, the football team has endured the

nation’s longest losing streak in Division I play. And the Homecoming dance has been officially canceled following severTames al years in which presearlemott son basketball games— and in fact virtually Managing Editor anything—has distracted students from the dance floor, leaving empty tents filled only with echoing speakers and melting ice sculptures. It’s not that I want to depress you about the state of homecoming at Duke, but rather illustrate how much more distracted the campus community is this year, and perhaps offer an explanation for the theme of this issue. In the week leading up to Homecoming—a celebration of pride in one’s alma mater, as well as a melancholy opportunity for alumni to reminisce about their responsibility-free college years—l do not see the floats and banners or feel the joyful anticipation of bygone Homecoming weeks, illustrated in some of the fantastic photos from the University Archives that we have republished here. Perhaps the community is saving its Duke pride for basketball season. But, no, it seems to me much more likely that the buzz is still New York City, where, on that date, Sept. 11, 2001— which we have been assured will live in infamy—two hijacked airplanes did the unspeakable. Rather than just the navy and white “Go-get-’em, Blue Devils” banners proudly flying, I see a new color—red. Now our University’s cars, windows,

benches and bridges are soberly furling American flags and basically anything red, white and blue. And although pacifist movements have questioned whether this display of patriotism is justified, there is a direct sense that the University has been sorely affected. Many Duke students hail from New York and even more move there after they graduate. In fact, New York City houses more Duke alumni than any other. So it is not surprising how personally affected Duke students and alumni have been. At least five alumni are dead or missing and presumed dead and countless more have lost friends and colleagues or have been shut out of work as their office building is no more. Many of these alumni will arrive on campus this weekend to catch up with friends. Immediately they will be asked, “Where were you Sept. 11? Are you okay? How has your life changed?” Already through phone calls and websites like Elizabeth Spiers’ www.danconiacopper.com, Duke’s New York alumni base has shown its strength and unity by asking these reflective questions. So it seems proper that the community support and remember the New York community as we celebrate our Dukeness this weekend, understanding that we are not to be set apart from the world outside our stone walls. We are perhaps most clearly connected to the “real world” through our alumni who have moved away from campus, yet remain uniquely Duke. This supplement looks at New York City as an outpost of the University, and examines the lives and stories of alumni who have had extraordinary careers and who have some intriguing and touching answers to the questions, “Where were you on Sept. 11? Are you okay? How has your life changed?”We also hope that the news clippings and photos from years gone by will rekindle fond memories for many returning alumni.

Witt helps victims of New York attacks By MOLLY JACOBS The Chronicle

VIRGINIA WITT, Medicine '97, treats a victim of the World Trade

Center attacks.

For one Duke graduate, Sept. 11 provided a unique opportunity to save lives. While doing her rounds that day at St. Francis Hospital in Jersey City, Gina Witt, who graduated from Duke’s School of Medicine in 1997, learned of the first building collapse at about 9 a.m. She and her co-workers then moved outside and watched from across the river as the second building met the same fate. Then the state of panic set in. “At first everyone’s adrenaline started pumping, and it was exhausting,” Witt said. “We never knew what would happen next, and it was really confusing. But there was an amazing sense of fraternity at the hospital and at the waterfront. I made friends with people that day that I still communicate with now.” At about 10 p.m., Witt was notified that her hospital and five others from the Bonsecours-Canterbury hospital partnership in New Jersey would be receiving patients. The hospital was put on a code “D”—disaster status. Hospital workers were told to expect between 500 and 1,000 patients, primarily bum victims. In preparation, Witt set up a large triage unit, expecting that there would not be enough space in the emergency room for everyone. She divided physicians, emergency medical technicians and nurses into teams. She devised a system to divide patients based on their need for care by placing tags around their necks. Black would be given to the dead, red to those who needed critical CPR, green to those who needed minor first aid and yellow to those seriously wounded. “We got probably 70 to 80 patients that day during my first eight hours of triage,” Witt said. “Between EMTs, nurses, National Guard and all the other people there helping, we had about 2,000 people assisting at the hospital. There were 300 ambulances ready to go, but we never got anymore patients. We expected more wounded, but everyone there died. There were so many more dead, that there weren’t enough wounded to fill all the space we had.” Witt did work with many patients that day and spent

of miscommunication. “At 4 o’clock, a state trooper drove up to the hospital and said he needed any available doctors to come with him to help at Liberty State Park because there were lots of injured there. So we went there, but there was nothing there for us to do,” she said. “There was another miscommunication Thursday morning. They called us and told us to activate the ER, and we did, but we never got anyone.” Witt said many things about the day surprised her. “The number ofpeople there to help was amazing. People were at home, and when they heard about the accident, they could come over to help push wheel chairs or something. It was really terrific.” She was also surprised by the atmosphere at the hospital and the way it has affected her. “It has changed everyone here, especially everyone at the hospital,” she said. “We are much closer and that feeling of fraternity has stayed with us. I can’t imagine not being a member of this staff. It has changed my life.” The events of Sept. 11 are still fresh in her mind, and she is unable to forget what happened. “You can’t help but be concerned about it,” she said. “Lining the walls of the hospital are pictures ofthe missing people. We are a hospital, so people have come and put up photos of their loved ones all over the hospital hoping that we would see them. My heart breaks every time I walk past those walls.” Although the experience has been difficult, Witt said she is glad she could help as much as she could. “Being on the front lines has definitely made it more real,” she said. “But it took me days to come to grips with this. It was a week later before I really understood what had happened.”

eight hours with her triage team helping the injured. “Everyone was shocked and saddened when we didn’t get anymore patients, but it was amazing to see the ones we got,” Witt said. “The people coming out of the building were all covered in a thick beige gray soot. It was like the sheet rock that had been holding up the buildings just crumbled into a smoke.” She said the day was filled with chaos and a great deal

The Chronicle

Rose scrambles to cover attacks as journalist By LUCAS SCHAEFER The Chronicle

When Charlie Rose arrived at his Park Avenue office in New York on Sept. 11, he noticed a mass of people standing

outside the building, where the television studio for his eponymous, nightly interview show on PBS is located. “They have television monitors in the windows [of the office],” said Rose, “and I knew something bad had happened.” When he asked a member of the crowd what was going on, he learned that a plane had struck one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. By the time he got to his office, another plane had struck the second tower. After learning about the attack, Rose, also a correspondent for 60 Minutes 11, promptly canceled all of his scheduled guests for the evening, called off a weekend trip to Milan for a story he was doing on a driver racing in the Italian Grand Prix. Instead, he went about the task of finding appropriate interview subjects, given the events of the morning. Like journalists across America, Rose is grappling with how best to deal with the events of the past month on both a personal and professional level. “I think it’s easier for journalists than it is for firemen or policemen not to show emotion for things that are awful, tragic and deeply emotional,” he said. “To say you can’t be moved by something like this would be inhuman. [Journalists] should act with profession-

alism, skill and objectivity, but at the same time... emotion is not a sin.” An Emmy Award-winning journalist,

Rose earned a bachelor of arts in history from Duke in 1964 and his J.D. from the School of Law in 1968. “I love the fact that I still feel connected to [Duke],” he said. “I owe a lot to the University, and I [hope] to make a real contribution,” he said. After graduation, Rose moved to New York City. While practicing law there, he became associated with many journalists, some of whom were impressed with his insatiable thirst for knowledge, said Rose. “A lot of these journalists said, ‘Jesus, you have more curiosity than we do,’” said Rose, who in 1979 began hosting his first television show in Fort Worth, Texas. Back then, Rose did all of his own research. “I would get up in the morning, do the show and spend the rest of the day thinking about guests,” he said. Now Rose has a team of researchers, and he said he doesn’t even “know how they do the research for my show.” A fan of nonfiction, Rose said he “doesn’t read much fiction, so I may have somebody on staff read [a] book for me” if a novelist is scheduled on the show. While Rose rarely prepares questions for guests ahead of time, he does wake up at 5:30 each morning to read seven or eight newspapers. “By reading the papers cumulatively, you get a sense ofwhat’s happening,” he said. “I’ll read a story and say, ‘That would be great for my show,’ or ‘That would be great for 60 Minutes!” Although his show airs every night, Rose said he doesn’t feel as if that inhibits the amount of time he has to prepare. “I have a reputation for being pre-

Chuck Hagel of Nebraska to historians like Richard Reeves to journalists and New York politicos, trying to get as much information as possible about the attacks and the U.S. response. In terms of national security issues, Rose said, “I try to push it to the edge,” and that it’s “not his responsibility” to guard security secrets. “I try to phrase it so they will tell me as much as

interviews David Duchovny on The Charlie Rose

they can,” he said. “We’re not looking for a sound bite.” Rose said he thinks Americans everywhere have been touched in a very personal way by the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. “It’s made us aware that life is precious and precarious. We clearly have a sense of what matters most

now,” he said. He said he regretted that he couldn’t see ahead to the end ofhis life and think about all of the things he wanted to do. Rose said he lives his life “regretting

things I didn’t do instead of regretting the things that I did. It’s better to try

and fail than to never try at all.”

The Chronicle

Making the ‘Best* of a Duke degree about survival, which is easy to think, it’s not so easy to sit down and decide what your dreams are,” said Best. Best compares this “survival stimulus” to the pressures faced by the average Duke student. He said that it is the pressure for monetary success that keeps people from reaching the kind of broad fulfillment that he enjoys. “I think artists in the performing world seem to think that being poor may be part of the requirement for proving that one is truly an artist,” said Best. Best, who is now retired from his singing career and lives on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, no longer feels the excitement of the city as he once did in his Julliard days. By contrast, he views the hustle and bustle of Manhattan as a tax on his soul. “When I say quality of life.... I think about a place where people are interested in taking the time to get to know each other and to have time to talk, where people feel like there’s time to be friendly,” said Best. “In New York City, there’s not time to be friendly, because if you stop to be fnendly, your competitor will get ahead of you.” But Best has noticed a dramatic shift in New York’s unique brand of unfriendliness. After the tragedy Sept. 11, Best said he was startled to notice that New Yorkers are being nice to each other. “An odd thing has happened, and that’s people are looking at each other in the eye and saying ‘Hello.’ When I walk out on the street, it feels like I’m back in North Carolina,” Best said. “It’s really an amazing experience.” But Michael Best knows New York, and he knows New Yorkers. He does not expect this peculiar solidarity to last. In many ways, Best said he has lived to see his city at its best and worst. “Before September 11,1 would have said that I was a Southerner living in New York,” he said. “I have always thought that I was passing through.... Since September 11,1 feel like a New Yorker, and I’m proud to be here. I may stay as a result of September 11.” So as only a Southerner living in New York might do, Best said he has found the silver lining on this terrible tragedy. But one thing could not be more resoundingly true for Best and his New York brethren: “I don’t think that normal will ever be the same.”

in Julliard’s opera department, Best joined the Columbia Artists’ Management Agency, a booking agent for perAsk Michael Best what he thinks of New York City formers and artists. From there, said Best, it was simply living, and he would compare it to a kid’s game. “You a matter of pulling the right strings. “The most important thing about going to the Met is know ‘King of the Hill,’ where four or five kids sit on a who can stay on the top of the hill finding the courage to audition,” he said.
