Bell squeezes past Tennyson in mayor race � Although election officials have not counted every ballot, the latest returns suggest that Bill Bell will be Durham’s new mayor.

ts Mayor Bill Bell Nick Tennyson

By MATT ATWOOD and MEG LAWSON The Chronicle

Leading by a slim 366-vote margin Tuesday night, Bill Bell appeared to have defeated incumbent Nick Tennyson to become the next mayor ofDurham. In an officially nonpartisan election marked by strong involvement from the Democratic Party, Durham voters also approved five bond packages for county construction projects totaling $74.7 million, and they elected four incumbents and two fresh faces to the City Council as that body’s size was cut in half. According to unofficial returns, Bell won 50.4 percent of the vote to Tennyson’s 49.3, with a voter turnout of 32,567, or 25.3 percent of city voters—twice as high as in last month’s primary. “I’m pleased,” Bell said. “I thought it was going to be a close one.” But provisional ballots must still be counted, a task which should be completed by

11 a.m. Friday, said Joseph

Fedrowitz, an official for the Board of Elections. Fedrowitz estimated that there might be 400 such ballots, twice the number in last month’s primary. Tennyson and Bell had similar platforms, though they differed on a few issues, including the proper pace of growth in the outer parts ofthe city, public funding for downtown development and the availability of affordable housing. Bell stopped short of officially de-

Resolutions recommending seniority in the housing lottery system will be considered at tonight’s Duke Student Government and Thursday’s Campus Council meetings. The proposals—which call for rising senior independents to receive priority over rising junior independents for singles, doubles and triples on West Campus—indicate student dissatisfaction with the residential plan, as well as a further escalation ofthe mounting power struggle between the two governing bodies. “It does not make sense what the administration is trying to do,” said Mike Lynch, a sophomore and author of the DSG resolution. “It’s unfair for rising seniors who are expecting seniority to not have that privilege.

Bloomberg defeats Green in N.Y.C. In other races, Democrats scored gubernatorial wins in Virginia and New Jersey By DAVID CRARY The Associated Press

Republican Michael Bloomberg, a media mogul with no political experience, defeated veteran Democrat Mark Green Tuesday for mayor of embattled New York City. Democrats captured governorships in Virginia

and New Jersey, breaking eight years of GOP control in each state. Bloomberg, who trailed badly in the polls just a few weeks ago in a city where Democrats outnumber

Republicans 5-1, will succeed Rudolph Giuliani, a Republican barred from seeking a third term. A Democrat, billionaire former Bloomberg will take charge of the daunting efforts to rebuild New York

after the Sept. 11 terror attack on the World Trade Center. “New York is alive and well and open for business,” Bloomberg declared in his victory speech. The city’s Board of Elections said Bloomberg had 711,189 votes to Green’s 670,413 in nearly complete unofficial returns. Green’s once-large lead in the polls faded after the popular Giuliani endorsed Bloombetg. “We gave it our all and it wasn’t enough,” Green said. “I ask the city to support him.” In Virginia, Democrat Mark Warner, a wealthy entrepreneur who has never held elected office, beat Republican Mark Earley, a former state at-

tomey general. With all precincts reporting, Warner had 994,399 votes, or 52 percent, to 893,232, or 47 percent,

for Earley.

Earley was handicapped by Republican infighting over taxes and the state budget. Warner put $4.7 million of his own fortune into a campaign that has raised $18.2 million, a state record. In New jersey, Democrat Jim McGreevey, a suburban mayor who narrowly lost a race for governor four years ago, rolled to a landslide victory over former Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler. Democrats also won

control of the New Jersey Assembly from the Republicans and gained five seats in the state Senate for a 20-20 split.

Fed cuts interest rates to aid economy By JEANMNE AVERSA The Associated WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate Tuesday by a half-point—to the lowest level in 40 years—in an attempt to rescue economy battered by the terror attacks and edging toward recession. The Fed’s cut is the tenth this year. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, consumer confidence has plunged, unemployment has soared and manufacturing, the weakest part of the economy, has sunk deeper into its own recession. Economists are hopeful that lowering borrowing costs will persuade consumers and businesses to spend

and invest, which would prevent further weakening of the economy. After a closed-door meeting, Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan and his colleagues announced they were

cutting the target for the federal funds rate, the interest banks charge each other on overnight loans, to 2 percent, the lowest since September 1961. In response, Bank One and M&T Bank announced they were reducing their prime lending rates, the benchmark for millions of consumer and business loans, by a similar halfpoint to 5 percent, the lowest level since June 25, 1972. Other commercial banks were expected to follow suit. “Heightened uncertainty and concerns about a deterioration in business conditions both here and abroad are damping economic activity,” the Fed said in a statement. The Fed also cut its discount rate, the interest that the Fed charges to make direct loans to banks, by a half-point to 1.50 percent. Against a backdrop of plunging consumer confidence and soaring unemployment, economists worry that the economic picture might get a lot worse before it gets better.

SHANEBOYLE/THE CHRONICLE

THE NORTH BUILDING currently provides space for several offices, including the Office of Research Support and the Air Force and Navy ROTC, but the University will soon renovate the facility and use it to house the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.

Duke plans North Building renovations By COURTNEY CHARITY The Chronicle

Administrators plan to renovate the North Building to provide a more permanent home for the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in the heart of the scientific community. Vice Provost for Academic Affairs John Rarer said he expects the building to become home to more science-based departments, although administrators have not yet developed a time frame for the project. He said the project includes moving the bioinformatics center to the building, which currently houses part of the Office of Information Technology, the Office of Research Support and Air Force and Navy ROTC. “[We are] creating a laboratory which would focus on data analysis for the genetics department and which would be an educational resource for undergraduate and graduate students interested in the field,” Rarer said. To make room for those plans, University officials are considering where to place offices currently housed in the North Building. Rarer said that access to offices not critical for students, such as the portions of OIT in the building, will be moved

to off-campus locations. Some offices will be more central to campus, and Rarer suggested the Bryan Center as one possibility. Vice Provost for Research Jim Siedow said the bioinformatics center will begin to occupy the North Building sometime this summer, or as soon as a permanent director is found. Renovation plans will be contingent upon the hiring of appropriate faculty to run those facilities, such as the bioinformatics center director. Judith Dillon, director of the Office of Research Support, which relocated to the North Building from the Allen Building in late 1999, said she had not heard about renovation plans, but that she would like to see improvements in the heating and cooling systems as well as changes to the outward appearance of the building. Rarer said there are no plans to move that office out of the building and that ROTC will also remain there. Dillon noted that although her office now has more space, the building’s location does not make it desirable. “We were given a lot more space here than we had in the Allen Building,” she said. “Walking from here to the Allen Building every time we need something is not convenient.”

Scientists seek clues to heart disease

Duke cardiologist Dr. Pascal Goldschmidt, chief of cardiology, found a mutation in a gene that is normally involved in platelet formation. When mutated, this gene, designated as PIA2, seems to predispose people to early heart disease that causes platelets to clump together too easily. “While environmental factors are important in the development of heart disease, they aren’t the only factors," Goldschmidt said in a statement. As much as 20 percent of the population carries this gene variation. The research was spurred by Goldschmidt's analysis of a blood sample obtained from the late Olympic gold-medal skater Sergei Grinkov. In 1995, the 28-year-old died unexpectedly and suddenly of a massive heart attack.

CDC prepares for possible smallpox scare

As a precaution in case workers will be needed to investigate a future terrorist attack involving smallpox. the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccinated some of its health workers against the deadly virus last week. This week, the CDC will train employees and health workers on how to deal with smallpox emergencies. Although officials at the federal agency do not have evidence that suggests such a terrorist attack is imminent, they said Sunday that the virus is so dangerous that precautions must be taken. Smallpox has been eradicated from the United States for 21 years, but strains of the contagious virus are known to exist in Russia. Smallpox immunizations were ended in the United States, making many Americans susceptible to the disease. •

Researchers link hormones to dry eyes

A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that the millions of women who take menopause hormones may be increasing their risk of having dry eye syndrome, which in severe cases can affect vision. The study, which is one of the first linking hormone supplements with this syndrome, found that women taking estrogen alone were 70 percent more likely to have dry eyes than those women who were not taking any. Lead researcher Debra Schaumberg of Harvard University’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital said it is unclear how these hormones, which include estrogen and progesterone, produce dry eyes. •

PET scans could help detect Alzheimer’s

RET scans of patients from the United States, Belgium and Germany detected early signs of Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia at least 93 percent of the time. Dr. Daniel Silverman, assistant professor of pharmacology at the University of California at Los Angeles, said these findings show brain scans could help lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment for Alzheimer’s. Currently, doctors diagnose Alzheimer's through a battery of psychological tests and medical procedures to rule out other possible causes of dementia. The findings are reported in today's Journal ot the American Medical Association.

Blood inflammations could be indicators

Two Swedish studies provide supporting evidence that bloodstream inflammation can be a powerful predictor of heart disease. Researchers found elevated levels of enzymes called MPO in people who had heart attacks, heart bypass surgery and narrowed coronary arteries. Another substance called interleukin 6 was linked to an increased risk of death in these patients. Physicians suspect inflammation can damage heart artery walls, making them more prone to fatty buildups that could lead to cardiac problems. These findings could help explain why people with no known risk factors such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure can still have heart attacks. News briefs compiled from staff and wire reports

CHC offers centralized pediatric care By DEVIN FINN The Chronicle

Over a year after the opening ofthe

McGovern-Davison Children’s Health Center, Duke doctors and administrators say they are happy with the facility’s progress. They cite the center’s positive environment and consolidation of pediatric services. “Coming to the hospital is very scary,” said Kristen Mercer, CHC public relations manager. Colorful, spacious and full of toys, the facility was designed with children’s needs in mind, Mercer said. She added that the CHC is a place where kids can feel comfortable. “It brings a smile to your face when you walk in,” said Dr. Mike Frank, Samuel L. Katz Professor and chair of the pediatrics department. The cheerful environment ofthe CHC is a significant change from its former location, the sub-basement ofDuke Hospital. The new facility, an outpatient clinic, provides primary care in a children’s setting, like a doctor’s office. Frank said the CHC has transformed the entire pediatrics department. “When a patient came in, [they’d] be treated at Duke Hospital, surrounded by 50- and 60-year olds, and [they] were three,” Mercer said. Patient care in all medical areas has been consolidated at the CHC, allowing both centralized and customized treatment for children. Formerly, children who required Xrays had to travel from Duke Clinic to Duke Hospital, the location of the pediatric radiology department. At the CHC, there is a group of radiologists who know how to take pediatric Xrays, Frank said. The CHC is one of several Duke institutions designed for children’s health. The Children’s Hospital in Duke Hospital provides inpatient care for critically ill children and Duke-owned Lenox Baker Children’s Hospital, two blocks away, is a clinic for kids with ill-

Its colorful decor and open spaces are designed to create an inviting environment for the 55.000 patients who were seen at the facility last year. nesses like brain injuries and AIDS. The CHC, adjacent to and intercom nected with Duke Hospital, has greatly increased the number of patients since it was built. Its administrators expect a jump from 55,000 visits to an estimated 65.000 this year alone. Mercer said the ability to treat

more patients has come from the ease of having everything in one location, “All of the feedback has been positive,” Mercer said, To address a growing demand for medical services and appointments, the CHC is considering expanding its hours; currently, it closes each day at 5 p.m.

Bad dialysis filters may be cause of deaths Baxter, the Illinois manufacturer of the contaminated filters, recalled its product and idled two plants By DAVE CARPENTER The Associated Press

CHICAGO Baxter International Inc. said Monday that chemical residue in its recalled dialysis filters appears to have played a role in many of 51 recent deaths being investigated around the world. Baxter said it has idled two plants, which employ about 300 people, and discontinued the product. Bracing for more lawsuits from kidney patients’ families, it is earmarking between $lOO and $l5O million for litigation and related expenses.

The statement marked a turnabout by the Deerfield, Dl.-based medical products maker, which previously said it found nothing to indicate its products were at fault in the dialysis patients’ deaths under review, mostly in Europe. The Food and Drug Administration and other health authorities are investigating 51 deaths from this summer and fall, including 23 in Croatia last month, 15 in Spain, seven in Taiwan, two in Colombia and two each in Texas and Nebraska. All were using

dialysis filters, or dialyzers, which help remove waste from the blood of patients with failed kidneys. Baxter, which recalled the filters in

mid-October, said preliminary tests completed over the weekend led it to conclude that a chemical used in routine testing at its plant in Ronneby, Sweden, may have played a role in many of the deaths. The fluid, a chemical solution known as 5070, is used to test for leaks and somehow was not fully removed from all filters before they were packaged and shipped, the company said. The chemical then evidently entered patients’ bloodstreams, officials indicated. “The solution should not be in the dialyzer after the safety check has been carried out,” said Lee Henderson, a Baxter dialysis expert and retired scientist. “We need further investigation to identify precisely how that has occurred.” Baxter said it is stopping production ofall three dialysis product lines made at the Swedish plant, including the Se-

ries A and AF dialyzers, which the company started recalling last month. Harry Kraemer, Baxter chair and chief executive, said the company is “greatly saddened” by the deaths and has a responsibility to make its findings public and take action, “While a small number of our A and AF dialyzers appear to have played a role in some ofthese tragic events, we believe there remain substantive gaps in information about the facts associated with many of the patient deaths,” he said. In Spain, where a court case against Baxter is under way, the son of a kidney patient who died in August said the statement shows relatives were right to blame Baxter for the deaths. The deaths “could have been avoided,” Enrique Ortego said. FDA official David Feigal said Baxter was aggressive in recalling the filters even before they were linked to the problem. He said the agency would consult with regulatory authorities in other countries to make sure the problem will not recur, and with the chemical’s manufacturer.

Vinroot steps aside for Dole in U.S. Senate race NOWELL By PAUL Associated Tne

Press

Former Charlotte CHARLOTTE mayor Richard Vinroot chose Election Day to bow out of the U.S. Senate race, saying party unity was his reason for endorsing former GOP presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole in the contest. Joined by Dole at a hastily called news conference Tuesday, Vinroot said it will take a unified front by the Republican Party to ensure the GOP does

not turn over the seat currently held by Sen. Jesse.Helms to the Democrats. Vinroot said he learned the value of teamwork when he served in Vietnam. “Sacrifices are needed to win wars and sacrifices are needed to win elections,” he said. To unify the party, “I decided to withdraw and support Elizabeth Dole,” Vinroot said before giving Dole a kiss on the cheek. Dole echoed his comments, saying

she had already convinced Vinroot to join her campaign as a top-level adviser. “We will work as a team to absolutely ensure that Sen. Helms’ seat stays in the Republican Party,” she told cheering GOP workers, who took a break from Election Day phone calls to listen to their remarks.

“And this is the gal who can do it,” Vinroot said. Vinroot’s decision comes amid pressure from Republican leaders to with-

draw to clear the path for Dole, who is seeking the nomination to replace Helms, who is retiring in 2003. Vinroot said Tuesday that he decided to quit the race after several conversations with Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, the Republican National Committee chair. Just two weeks ago, Vinroot said he was committed to staying in the race. “Nothing magical happened. I prayed about it and I thought about it,” he said.

“I hope to patch together savings where we can,” he said. The school is currently negotiating with Auxiliary Services to have them take care of the Marine Lab’s book store, dining and facilities. Schlesinger said the annual budget for the school is, most broadly, $25 million, but about $lO million of that is direct grant activity—money that comes in and is spent. He said the remaining revenue totals about $l5 million, but that he expects expenses to be $l7 million, a $2 million mismatch. Because of funds designated for the school from its endowment, the deficit is much smaller, less than half a million dollars. Nevertheless, Schlesinger said his goal is to increase revenue and cut spending so that those funds can remain untouched, left to build the endowment. James Roberts, vice provost for finances, said the school has had budget issues in the past, specifically with the Marine Lab. “There was a period of years when the Marine Lab got a lot of our attention. I think we’ve made some adjustments there that have made that operate on a more even keel. The work in the current year has more to do with increasing enrollments,” he said.

OIT offers local calls throughout Triangle at no cost By KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle

Following a policy implemented in early September, members of the Duke community can now call anywhere in the Triangle at no cost. Most students said they were unaware of the change, but those with families in the area said they appreciated it. “It was kind of frustrating. I had to use my cell phone, but now it’s easier to keep in touch with people in Raleigh,” said freshman Kim Jao, whose family lives in Raleigh. “We are the only school I know of in the Triangle where the students aren’t charged for making these calls.”

But student cost, billed as 7 cents per minute, was not the motivation behind the decision. The policy resulted from a new deal the University signed with Verizon Communications.

Paula Loendorf, OIT director of tele/video communications and customer support, explained that previously, GTE charged Duke on a per-call basis. But as the volume of calls at Duke Hospital increased, the University sought an agreement with a flat fee. They found that agreement with Verizon. “We had so many charges, especially with the hospital, that we worked out a new plan with Verizon. We have always

paid a trunk fee to Verizon for the local connection with their office and Duke. It is no longer billed on a per-call basis. It is a flat fee that we agreed upon with Verizon that has been added to [Duke’s] trunk fee.” The revised trunk fee was agreed upon after reviewing the average number of calls made to the Triangle from the University each year. Although students living offcampus already paid no fee for such calls, the policy gives on-campus customers this same ability.

Loendorf said students were confused by the change at first, as they

tried to use their Student Authorization Code cards—issued to them freshman year—to pay for the phone calls. “There was a lot of confusion and misunderstanding among the students,” Loendorf said. “We needed to clear it up once and for all.” But most students said they were unaware of the policy, which took effect a few weeks into the school year. It is not documented on their monthly bills. “I don’t think that I’ve ever used my SAC card. It was always just easier to call from my cell phone. My card has been in my wallet since I first got it,” said sophomore Christian Barrett.

Computer equipment stolen from School of Nursing From staff reports An employee reported that between noon Oct. 18 and 2 p.m. Oct. 25, someone entered an unsecured room in Hanes House at the School of Nursing and stole a $4,000 Toshiba projector, serial number 7RW1200064, and a $7OO Gateway laptop computer, serial number PDIK769, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department.

Apartment burgled: A student reported that between 2:45 p.m. Nov. 2 and 6 p.m. Nov. 3, someone entered his 205 Oregon St. apartment and stole his $299 Playstation 2 video game machine, serial number U1696328, model number 'PyyTuyjiri SCPH3OOI, one $49 Playstation 2 JPKIMfr game, two DVDs worth $34 and two music CDs worth $3O, Dean said.The student’s roommate reported that he had personal checks stolen and was advised by his bank that one of the checks had been passed for $BOO. The student reported that when he returned to his apartment Nov. 3 he noticed the screen door open and the glass door opened slightly. Neither student could remember locking the door to the apartment, and they did not have the door track block engaged.

Fraudulent checks passed: An employee reported

that between 2 p.m. Oct. 21 and 2 p.m. Oct. 29, someone attempted to fraudulently pass three checks totaling $769.21, drawn on Duke Endowment/Investment account numbers, Dean said. The bank, Wachovia, did not pay out the amounts.

Money stolen: An employee reported that between 12:15 p.m. Oct. 25 and 8:30 a.m. Oct. 29, someone entered her unlocked office in the Bishop’s House on East Campus and stole $lOO in petty cash, Dean said.

Food stolen: Between

4:30 p.m. Oct. 26 and 11:15 a.m. Oct. 27, someone stole $lOO worth of hot dogs and hamburgers from the unsecured refrigerator in the kitchen area ofYork dormitory, Dean said.

Fire damages apartment:

At 7:01 p.m. Nov. 2, and Fire Department police the Durham campus responded to a fire at 302 Anderson St., Apt. G, Dean said. The fire was extinguished. A student reported that she left cooking oil in a frying pan, on low heat, on the stove top. When she returned, she discovered that the kitchen stove was on fire. The fire caused damage to the wiring in the kitchen wall, and due to the possibility of the fire entering the roof, the fire department gained entrance to the attic in Apartments G and H. There was no smoke or fire damage found there. Due

to the poor air quality, the students were moved to another apartment.

Police respond to fire: At 8:56 a.m. Nov. 4, campus police responded to a fire at 2011 Yearby St., Apt. R., Dean said. Upon arrival officers were directed to a microwave sitting outside the apartment. The student reported that the food he was reheating caught fire. He used the fire extinguisher to put the fire out, and no further damage was done. Student assaulted: At 3:15 a.m. Nov. 4, campus police responded to Kappa Sigma fraternity in reference to an assault, Dean said. Police learned that two students had been assaulted by another student. The victims reported that the student assaulted them by slapping one and punching the other on the face. Neither student required medical attention, and they did not wish to press criminal charges. The case was referred to the dean’s office.

Lecture hall damaged: An employee reported that between 5 p.m. Oct. 23 and 6:30 a.m. Oct. 24, someone entered an unsecured lecture hall on the first floor of the Bryan Research Building, broke off the microphone to the podium and cut the power cord to the floor outlet, causing $75 in damage, Dean said.

Committee awards Diya SISK to produce Awaaz � CULTURE FUNDS from page 1

providing funding for “signature” programming, and events that are well established on campus. The committee also did not provide funding for events that were not programmed for the fall semester. Funding decisions for these events will be made during the spring funding allocation round in January, when the committee hopes to distribute the rest of the money. “It’s the first time that the fund has been used, so I think they’re still working out the kinks,” said committee member and junior Vinny Eng. “If it didn’t fit into the guidelines of being cross-cultural or increasing student engagement through cultural activities, if they were purely social in nature, the committee said that they should not be funded by the cultural fund.” Diya’s annual performance and banquet festival, Awaaz—formerly known as Diwali—was awarded the most funds by far. The funding proposal for the group originally asked for $19,300 to help cover the costs of the $22,830 two-night event. “We knew that some 60 groups applied for funding, so for them to give us that much is a good amount, so we’re happy about that,” said Diya co-president, senior Sreelata Kintala. “We got the majority of our money from the new fund, but they actually advised us to look for new sources of funding.” Awaaz’s expenses include a $6,875 two-night dinner, as well as over $7,000 for crew and techni-

cal equipment. Diya also subsidizes costuming for dancers and other event participants. “We still think that the show should become a line-item at some point,” said Diya co-president and senior Tejas Shah. Shah said the University should provide an annual fund for Awaaz that would include 3 to 4 percent annual cost increases. “I think that ultimately for the University to institute this line-item fund would be a formal [recognition] of what we do offer to the campus,” said Shah. Other cultural organization presidents were also happy with their funding awards. “I know that Awaaz takes about $20,000, and $15,000 is not surprising,” said Asian Student As-

sociation President, senior Jin Park. “I would be expecting the same level of financial support for our [Lunar New Year] festival in the spring.” Senior Denise Pozzerle, Mi Gente co-president, hoped to use some of the group’s funding to pay back dues for past events. “There was a funding problem with one of [our speakers], and we had to strike a deal with one of our speakers to pay .them a little bit later,” said Pozzerle. The speaker, Sandra Maria Esteves, spoke at a Nov. 1 special Latino Heritage Blue Roach session. Funding recipients also included minority greek organizations like Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and Lambda Upsilon Lambda, Inc. fraternity, as well as campus religious and political groups.

SHARE tries to offer Seniority sparks governance rivalry experimental living ¥

SHARE from page 3 dents with an alternative living experience. But Larry Moneta, vice >

president for student affairs, said, “SHARE started on East, and there’s nothing particularly unique about Central that I know of.” Since its founding in

1979, SHARE has moved three times, from Wilson Dormitory to Alspaugh Dormitory and then to Epworth Dormitory, finally establishing a home at 1708 Pace in 1998. Living on Central has given the group an opportunity to live up to their name, according to SHARE members.

“SHARE was created as an experiment. It’s in our name, and it is working and thriving,’’ said Morris. “[We] have found a setting that fosters who we are, and any changes threaten that,” he said. Morris

added

that

SHARE fills the void for students who move off campus because they are disillusioned with West. By moving to West, SHARE expects a decline in

new members and an increase in present members

seeking off-campus options. “If as a freshman I was not given the opportunity to live on Central, especially at SHARE, I would have either moved to live off campus or transferred out of Duke entirely,” said O’Donoghue. “Which is a damn shame, because the members of

SHARE represent something that does not have very many other outlets on campus,” she said. SHARE officials said they believe the administration’s efforts to diversify West Campus is an attempt to foster brand loyalty to Duke while discouraging loyalty to selective houses. In addition, sophomore Hsien-Jay Lee, SHARE external president, pointed out that most student groups are fairly homogenous while SHARE is extremely diverse, racially, re-

ligiously and socially. “The administration expects to look for a diverse population in a general sense and not at specific groups,” said Lee. >

SENIORITY from page 1 Vik Devisetty, president of Campus Council,

said he believes the administration will place greater significance on his organization’s recommendation. Several DSG officials said that in recent correspondence with Devisetty, the Campus Council president claimed that Vice President of Student Affairs Larry Moneta said Campus Council will have final say over the issue. Moneta, however, said he will consider recommendations from both bodies. “It is more accurate to say that all the student voices will be heard,” Moneta said. “I have asked the Campus Council to take up the issue at Thursday’s meeting, and I am thrilled that DSG is doing so as well.” Devisetty said although Moneta told Campus Council to voice its opinion on the issue, he does not believe Moneta will disregard DSG’s resolution. “I expect both organizations to come together and work out the kinks,” Devisetty said. In the new residential life plan, rising senior independents have first selection only for West Campus singles. Rising independent juniors have priority for doubles and triples. Senior independents not opting for singles on West will be forced to live either on Central Campus, in Trent Drive Hall or off-campus. However, the plan is not yet set in stone, and Moneta and Assistant Dean of Student Development Bill Burig have been hosting forums and gathering student input as they continue to shape the housing overhaul. Moneta said the final plan must be finished by the end of the week. The debate over influence on the residential life plan is the latest in an escalating struggle between the two groups, in which DSG officials msm prapaffi

have called into question the Council’s openness to student input and its student mandate. “We feel that our statement is better representative of the student body, and we’ve made greater strides to get input from students,” said DSG Executive Vice President Drew Ensign, a senior. In a leser to the editor in Friday’s Chronicle, Devisetty and three other Council officials defended Campus Council’s mandate and its role in deciding residential life initiatives. “Campus Council is the voice of the residential student body. This is clearly written in our constitution and gives us authority over any policy and programming issues related to residential life,” the letter read. DSG residential life liaison Sean Young, who advised Lynch on the resolution, said the two groups have different mandates. “DSG has a clear mandate from the student body to represent them on policy matters,” Young said. “Campus Council is responsible for programming.” Devisetty said Moneta sees Campus Council as the body that will represent the residential concerns of students —either on programming or on policy-making—and that the group has made policy initiatives in the past. Devisetty also said Campus Council has made efforts to procure student opinion. “The way our publicity works is through the quad system. Information is trickled down through quad councils,” he said. DSG officials have invited concerned students to speak in the public forum period of tonight’s meeting or to send in written comments. Campus Council’s resolution will be both debated and written at Thursday night’s meeting. Campus Council meets in the Griffith Board Room in the Bryan Center at 7 p.m. DSG meets at 7 p.m. tonight in 116 Old Chemistry.

Best defeats Larson in surprising Ward 3 outcome ELECTION from page 1 weeks ago to endorse Bell in person. And Monday night, “a couple thousand” Durham voters picked up the phone to hear an automated message from former president Bill Clinton backing Bell, said Edward Benson, chair of the Durham County Democratic Party. The party also had 150 volunteers distributing flyers listing the Democrats among the mayoral and council candidates, said Benson, who is also a Chronicle columnist. “We’ve never put this much work [into a municipal election],” he said. Officially, the election is nonpartisan, so candidates’ party affiliations do not appear on the ballot, but Tennyson is a registered Republican and Bell a registered Democrat. “The Democratic Party helped me, no ifs, ands or buts about it,” Bell said.

ternated between Tennyson and Bell, until returns for 49 ofthe city’s 53 precincts had come in, and Tennyson held a 351-vote lead over Bell. Then, prompting spontaneous applause from Bell supporters throughout the courthouse, the 50th precinct swung the lead back to Bell, where it stayed. The City Council races produced one outcome that surprised many observers, as John Best soundly defeated incumbent Erick Larson by 30.9 percentage points for the Ward 3 seat. “The fact that [Larson] got beat so handily—that was a stunner,” said fellow council member Lewis Cheek. Cheek was re-elected to an at-large seat on the council along with Thomas Stith and Tamra Edwards. Stith garnered the most votes with 22.5 percent, followed by Cheek with 19 percent and Edwards with 18.4 percent. Incumbents Dan Hill and Angela Langley and challenger Joe Williams were defeated.

Long-time city employee Cora Cole-McFadden was elected to the Ward 1 seat over Jeffery White by the largest margin of the City Council races—4l percentage points. “It’s a good feeling when people show they have confidence in you,” she said. In Ward 2, an absent Howard Clement bested former Chronicle columnist Michael Peterson 61.4 percent to 38.5 percent. All five bond issues passed Durham County voters including a school bond package opposed by the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, which turned out a large number of voters to the polls. The $51.8 million schoolbonds passed 65.1 percent to 34.9 percent, the closest margin ofall the bond packages. But Lavonia Allison, the Durham Committee’s chair, was not discouraged. “The numbers are not as important as who is going to be in control of the city,” she said. —

Strong second half powers Duke passed Dynamo By KIYA BAJPAI

By TYLER ROSEN

The Chronicle

After a slow start in the exhibition

Never mind the score That Duke grabbed a 13-pointvictory over previously undefeated DynamoMoscow is not the point. Exhibition games are opportunities to try new things and give players different experiences that they will need during the course of the season. So it was no great surprise that the Russians gave Duke all it could handle for 30 minutes, while stars Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis adjusted to new roles.

wrap-around pass with 1:39 left in the second half. Dynamo-Moscow, a professional Russian league team in the middle of an American tour, featured a deceptively quick and skilled group of women who made a difficult matchup for Duke. While the game featured some high energy plays, Duke coach Gail Goestenkors noted that her team was only successful in spurts and will have to change that before Sunday’s game against Texas Tech. Goestenkors also felt that the Russian team was good preparation for the upcoming contest. “This was a great team for us to play,” Goestenkors said. “They’re somewhat similar to Texas Tech. They exploited some things we need to work on.” Specifically, Dynamo broke down Duke’s defensive play with Natalia Zassoulskaya, a 6-foot-3 center who scored 23 points, and guard Alexandra Fomenko, who tallied 22. With Zassoulskaya’s dominating strength and the quickness of Fomenko, Dynamo simply got around the Blue Devils and caused many breakdowns. “[Zassoulskaya] looks like she’d be slow but she’s got great footwork and fitness.... [She was] a tough match up for us,” Goestenkors said. Duke center Iciss Tillis felt that, although Zassoulskaya was a domineering player, Duke just did not have a strong game. She also noted that Duke should have been more used to playing against bigger people, since their practice players are men. At halftime, Goestenkors told her team to pick it up on both consistency and the defensive rotations. Mosch, who had only two points at the half, did not See BASKETBALL on page 16 &

Nevertheless, Duke was rattled by the more experienced Russian squad. The Blue Devils hit bottom at 21-11 shortly after seniorKrista Gingrich took over at the point, but Duke rallied and scored the next eight points to re-enter the ballgame. Beard seemed more confident and vocal when she moved back to the point late in the half. See COMMENTARY on page 20 �

Major League Baseball owners agree to cut 2 teams By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

ROSEMONT, 111. Baseball owners voted Tuesday to eliminate two teams before the start of next season, but did not specify which ones. They also said they would not lock out players when the labor contract expires this week. The Montreal Expos, Minnesota Twins and Florida Marlins were the teams recently mentioned as the likeliest candidates, while Oakland and Tampa Bay were discussed earlier this year. This would be the first contraction by Major League Baseball since the National League shrank from 12 teams to eight following the 1899 season. No team has moved since the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1972. “It makes no sense for Major League Baseball to be in markets that generate insufficient local revenues to justify the investment in the franchise,” commissioner Bud Selig said. “The teams to be contracted have a long record of failing to generate enough revenues to operate a viable major league franchise. Montreal is considered the front-runner to be cut. The Expos averaged just 7,648 fans per game at Olympic Stadium this year and no progress has been made toward a new ballpark. The team’s owner, Jeffrey Loria, is a New York art dealer with few ties

Selig said all 30 major league teams will continue to sell season tickets for 2002, even though he thinks two of them will not play. “There are more than two candidates,” he said. “We haven’t picked the final teams. “Fm not going to get into the numbers game,” he said. “There were a lot of people in the game who were in favor of four-team contraction.” The move could set up a battle among cities to avoid being eliminated. Government assistance for new ballparks could get teams off the endangered list. “Fm not going to deal in what-ifs,” Selig said. Selig said the possibility of moving teams has not been ruled out, but he added there currently are not any acceptable cities to move to. “Merely transferring existing problems to another ownership group or another city would only exacerbate the problem, not resolve it,” he said. The Washington and Northern Virginia area has been the most aggressive area in pursuing a team, but the Baltimore Orioles say that territory belongs to them. “If at some point in.time relocation serves that end, we, of course, will consider it,” Selig said. The action by the owners comes two days after the World Series culminated in Arizona’s thrilling Game 7 victory over the New York Yankees, baseball’s mostwatched game in 10 years.

The legacy of Byung-Hung Kim

He may have got a ring, but will forever have to deal with almost blowing the Series

So this is the deal r m lounging in nothing but my boxers an nee-high turquoise socks, sipping a can ot Matty Light with my m 6 P pointing out, alternatPmg f between reruns of Press Your Luck and late-night Cmemax, and wondering what Dave Couher would look like

m+ Most people might deem that a pretty sad Friday night, and some might even suggest that I take up Quaaludes •

S little do they Imow that this was But the best night 1 had had since Cats and Dogs opened to rave reviews this summer, .

■

Upon further review

Greg Veis The reason is simple really: I no longer held the distinction of being the human being who sucks the most. For his handy work last Wednesday and Thursday nights, I handed my crown to Arizona Diamondback closer

Byung-Hung Kim. Normally, I don’t like paying attention to other people and their “feelings,” but Kim’s collapse under the New York lights even drew some sympathy from this misanthrope. Kim took two well-deserved Arizona victories and spun them into Yankee legend by serving up a pair ofmeatballs

to Tino Martinez and Scott Brosius. Two nights, two home runs with two outs, two losses. Too bad. So what if the Diamondbacks took the Fall Classic when Mariano Rivera coughed up two runs in the bottom of the ninth Sunday? Kim may very well have a ring on his finger now, but James Brolin also received one of those after marrying Barbara, and you don’t see him bragging about that anymore, What really hurts about his completely public collapse is that Kim was the hope. Journalists from Korea

reported on his performance every night throughout the season, typing away to tell of their native son’s great success in the States. Oh, and Korea

needed a hero, too. After having struggled with intense political problems recently, a guy like Kim really means something to a nation. He offers just a little hope, a little distraction to a people who really need it. Children pretend to be him in pickup games on the streets, and grandparents tell stories about the mighty Byung-Hung who could bring a slugger to his knees with a nasty rising fastball. ent he blows it... twice. Kim, only 22, appears to be very mild-mannered. Now, I’m left to ponder what kind of sick thoughts are hurriedly traveling through his tortured mind. I can only hope that they do not involve a nine-iron and Dom DeLouise. The Rage, the Fury, the Venom that must be infiltrating his every thought now is incomprehensible. I can imag-

ine young Byung-Hung Kim on the baseball diamond as a youngster in Seoul coming up with different scenarios in his head: “OK, Byung-Hung, there are two outs. It’s the bottom of the ninth. You need just one more out and you win it all. The windup, the pitch.... He gets him! He gets him! Byung-Hung is the super master viper scorpion champion of the world. And the crowd goes wild.” Well, now he has to face the reality _

that he now is the international symbol for complete and utter failure. When I get my stats test back next week, I’ll look at the grade, disappointingly nod my head, and declare, “I’ve got no excuses. I just Byung-Hunged it.” (Side note: how great is his name? It reminds me of how people say that when a child is named Jeeves or Godfried, he is destined for life as a butler. If you go around naming your

kids Byung-Hung, you’re setting this poor child up for a life of being either an adult store sanitation monitor or a short, bitter sportswriter. And nobody’s a winner there.) Now, the natural follow-up question is: how will he respond to this bitter disappointment? Will he tank the rest of his career because of the crushing weight of this fiasco on his shoulders, or will he reemerge triumphantly Meatloaf-style? My odds are on Kim coming back to be a solid 25-save man for the next seven years or so, but for all the success that lies before him, it just does

not matter. He’ll always be Byung-Hung Kim the World Series Blower, just like my buddy Kirkpatrick, who cured cancer and built the local schoolhouse with his bare hands, but will always be Kirkpatrick the Goat Herder for his one ill-advised

evening of unrequited lust, But concerning what he should do to alleviate the immediate pain, I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes, Some old-time ballplayer who probably can’t chew anymore, when asked about how he spends his paychecks, respondEd, “Well, I spend most of it on liquor and prostitutes, and I pretty much just waste the rest.” Kim, I think you know what you’ve got to do. Make Charlie Sheen proud, Greg Veis is a Trinity junior and assodate sports editor of the Chronicle. He plans to spend the rest ofhis days at Duke thinking up funny topics in his boxers and tube socks.

Blue Devils overcome slow start to beat Dynamo 86-73 :»

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

ALANA BEARD and the Blue Devils must get off to a better start against Texas Tech Sunday.

BASKETBALL from page 13

focus so much on offense but rather set out to better her defensive play. “I knew where I was struggling the most was defensively.... That was where I was hurting my team the most,” Mosch said. Down 37-36 at halftime, Mosch and the Blue Devils played with more confidence and energy and gave a much better showing in the second half both offensively and defensively. Mosch, who was focusing on her defensive game in the second half, rallied for a total of 16 points. Tillis ended with 25 points, and had the only three-pointer for her team in the entire game. After struggling for the lead through the first half and the first few minutes of the second, Duke finally tied up the game at 40-40 when Alana Beard scored off a steal from Michele Matyasovsky. From there on, the Blue Devils dropped the lead only once. Guards Alana Beard, Vicki Krapohl and Krista Gingrich had two, four, and five assists respectively. Six-foot-two freshman Wynter Whitley, who started for the Blue Devils, and Monique Currie, also a freshman, demonstrated flashes of ability and intensity. Both players let their nerves come through, though, as they shot a combined 7-of-22 from the field. Even with a good lead at the end of the game, Goestenkors and her team, who are ranked fourth in the ESPN/USA Today poll and fifth in the Associated Press poll, were not very pleased with the level of play and believe that it will need to change soon. “We didn’t run our fast break. We’re a

much better team when we run.... We were not seeing the whole floor [tonight]” Goestenkors said. Concerning rankings, Duke’s Goestenkors added, “it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t phase us in the least. We know we have to go out and play every game.” Mosch believes that the Blue Devils can step up their play right away. “I think we’re in a good position. We’re executing great in practice..,. Tonight we weren’t focused enough, but we’ll definitely fix that,” Mosch said. Duke plays Texas Tech Sunday at 1 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium. *

Sociology 198.01, The History and Philosophy of American Business: From 1850 Present -

MWF 11:50

12:40 p.m.

Instructor: Gary Hull This course focuses on the landmark events in American business since 1850, and on the philosophic ideas at the root of those events. Over the last 150 years, America has experienced the greatest economic achievements in history. But what made it possible for America to go from: transportation by horse and buggy to travel by supersonic jet; from a meager food supply to supermarkets; from communication via pony express to cell phones and email; from uncomfortable and cramped multi-family dwellings to temperature controlled single-family homes; from relative poverty and a life expectancy of about 40 to unprecedented wealth and a life span of about 80? And what were the social, political, and philosophical causes of this dramatic transformation? What is the source of the economic innovation and how did the modern corporation develop? Was this economic development caused by the efforts of labor unions? By government legislation? By individual entrepreneurs and wealth creators? Was the cause historical inevitability? Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abundance of natural resources? Or was it caused by certain fundamental ideas, such as a respect for property rights, individualism, and reason?

Expos, Marlins, Twins top Tillis provides post presence list of franchises to be cut and strong interior defense � BASEBALL from page 13 markets complain that they can not

compete with big spenders like the Yankees and Diamondbacks, and the high-revenue teams do not want to give up any more money to revenue sharing. No small market team has won the World Series since the 1991 Twins. "“Is this a tacit admission that anything is fundamentally wrong? Absolutely it is not,” Selig said. ‘This shows we’re committed to solving our problems.” Asked if this was a sad day for baseball, Selig said, “Sad day after the Series we just had? I wouldn’t say so. The human part of this equation is what bothers me most. As someone who ran a team on who a lot of people’s livelihood and careers depended, I’d say it’s a sad day. I worry a lot about that.” Owners also said they would not lock out players or freeze signings when the

collective bargaining agreement expires Wednesday. Baseball has undergone eight work stoppages since 1972, including a 232day strike that wiped out the 1994 World Series, and some owners are pressing for concessions from the players’ association, which could trigger

another stoppage. The union could become an obstacle to eliminating teams before the start of next season in fighting to protect the 80 major league roster spots on the two teams and the hundreds more in each minor league system. Owners said they must negotiate the specifics of how to disperse the players on each eliminated team to the remaining 28 major leagues clubs. Selig declined to say if there was a chance teams would not be eliminated before the start of next season.

COMMENTARY from page 13 “She was much more vocal than she has been in the past,” Goestenkors said. “That’s something she’s worked on. I’m very proud of her.” Meanwhile, Tillis was leading the team in scoring in the first half with 12. Tillis used a blistering array of spin moves, hooks and short jumpers to score against Dynamo-Moscow. This was no mean feat, as Moscow’s paint was defended by a ferocious bear— Natalia Zassoulskaya.

The 6-foot-3 center finished the first half with five blocks and six rebounds. Zassoulskaya significantly altered Duke’s half-court offense and made Tillis and the other interior players earn

each point. Tillis did miss two three-pointers in the first half as she wandered the floor looking for scoring opportunities. In the second half, Tillis connected on a three-pointer—Duke’s only successful

attempt of the night—and dazzled defenders by spinning past double coverage before nailing a floater and converting hook shots off the glass on herway to a game-leading 25 points. With Crystal White still out with an ankle injury—she dressed for the game and will be returning to practice today—Tillis needed to provide Duke with interior defense as well as offense. She only managed to register one, albeit punishing, rejection and grabbed just five rebounds all game—fourth on the team—while being pushed around by the thicker Zassoulskaya.

“I can do anything I set my mind to,” Tillis said. “I thought I did better this game playing down low than I ever have.... I’ve dedicated myself to being a post player.” The Blue Devils’ coach agreed. “What I liked best [about the game] was seeing Iciss post up,” Goestenkors said. The 10th year coach was frustrated by Duke’s inconsistency, much of which came from the point guard position. “Alana, Vicki and Krista all gave us some good minutes [at point guard],” Goestenkors said. “And they all made some mental mistakes as well. “We were dribbling too much, and that was getting us into halfcourt situations. We’re a better team when we run.” Duke exhibited little of its running ability in the first half, as Goestenkors rarely used her press or trap. The halfcourt game stymied much of Beard’s full-court defensive talent, and Dynamo’s quick, experienced guards handled the ball well; Beard, who ended the game with a quiet 20 points, finished with just one steal. Beard and Tillis, however, did get their hands on a number of balls and frequently disrupted the Dynamo offense as it crossed halfcourt. Beard inherited another defensive role last night, the one left behind by graduated senior Rochelle Parent. Beard drew two charges and was called for a block when trying to draw another. “The charge is the ultimate sacrifice for your team,” Goestenkors said. EEEEEEEEEEEEIHEEEEEEEEEE

Considering character

Last

Thursday night, the University released the future locations ofthe 26 undergraduate selective living groups. Housing officials were able to give 11 groups their top choice, and 11 other groups spaces within their top 10 picks. Commendably, only four groups did not receive housing within any of their choices, but the placement of some groups indicates a lack of concern for their respective characters. Admittedly, size and preference are both important standards when considering where selective houses should be placed; however, the administration took the size standard too far, not considering other vital factors. For example, in Kilgo Quadrangle, administrators placed Delta Sigma Phi fraternity above Sigma Nu fraternity in a section next to Brownstone selective living group. All three groups clearly have different living styles and character. Another example is the placement of Prism selective group next to Kappa Alpha fraternity—two groups that also differ greatly. Administrators might argue that diversity in each quad is important, but the University has already seen that philosophy fail in practice. The current system—that mixed selective houses and fraternities in each quad back in the mid-90s —has at times fostered animosity between neighbors instead of a cohesive community. The relocation of houses represented the perfect opportunity for housing officials to make up for past mistakes. Furthermore, officials could have been more open about the process from the beginning. Many selective houses listed spaces that were more than five spaces under their targeted size, intending to cut their membership. Unfortunately, administrators did not even consider these spaces, nor did they tell groups ahead of time that such a criterion would be used. This lack of communication likely made a difference for the three groups who did not receive any housing they had asked for, perhaps even leading some members to secure off-campus housing for next year. Although the University will not reconsider the housing choices, it can be more flexible with actions in the immediate future related to these groups. For example, groups forced into large spaces in Edens Quadrangle because they had the most members should not be expected to fill their sections, nor should individual members be forced to change their housing plans. Most importantly, though, administrators should take a lesson from this experience and make sure they think through their communication with students before making major changes. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta has proved willing to listen to student feedback and should continue his efforts in the future.

the record

This seems like a finality. But it doesn’t mean we’re not going to stop fighting. We will never subscribe to West Campus even if we have to live there. The University will pay the price for mandated homogeneity. Benjamin Morris, SHARE internal president, on the group’s housing assignment in Edens Quadrangle (see story, page three)

Producer made inappropriate comments at forum Jerusalem. Bitar’s in response was to comment that the questioner’s blue eyes and blond hair cast doubt on her Semitic origins. Osama Jaddah was a Palestinian whose dark features and hair gave him an African appearance. Osama’s skin color is of course irrelevant—he was a Palestinian whose death was a tragedy. To bring up Osama’s racial appearance is, in fact, offensive, and if one were to continue to say that because he looked African he was not a true Palestinian, such an argument would be nothing short of racism.

“Hiwar” in Arabic means

dialogue. Oct. 25, the Duke student society Hiwar hosted a movie entitled Jerusalem’s High Cost of Living. It was a powerful and moving documentary that dealt with the death of a young Palestinian, Osama Jaddah, from an Israeli bullet. The movie’s producer, Hazim Bitar, attended the screening and answered questions afterwards. During the “dialogue” that followed the movie’s screening a member ofthe audience stood up and prefaced her question to Bitar with the information that she herself was a Jew who had been born

Bitar’s response to the questioner was racist and has no place in any society that gives itself the name of dialogue, let alone a society that is hosted by Duke University. That the student moderator did not intervene at this point in the dialogue I find disturbing. I can only assume that the Hiwar society will make amends by issuing a public apology to the young woman in question, and will take more care in the future to select their speakers and

moderate their discussions.

I am writing in response to The Chronicle’s Oct. 30 staff editorial “The wrong path to peace,” regarding the Israeli-

Palestinian conflict. There were so many offensive and

completely inaccurate statements made in the editorial that I am forced to conclude that the staff is not only extremely ill-informed with regards to conflict but that they simply lifted many of Sen. Joe Lieberman’s similarly insulting remarks from his speech on campus Oct. 29. In

the interest of simplicity, I will focus on only one of the editorial’s many statements of incredible inaccuracy. The editorial claimed that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s comparison of recently increased U.S. support for a Palestinian state to the West’s appeasement of Hitler in 1938 when it conceded areas of

school history. In World War 11, the Nazis were the obvious aggressors, occupying a foreign land illegally. In present-day Israel and occupied Palestine, it is Israel that is the aggressor, illegally occupying Palestinian territories for the past 34 years. To make the crucially important point that the paper’s editors failed to, the Israeli military’s mere presence—and this doesn’t even have to include the endless atrocities it has committed while

their opinion in an editorial designed to appear objective, they will do just a little research and distinguish between clear myths and realities with regards to the conflict. Perhaps until they can do that, it would be wise to remain focused on local issues that they find easier to grasp.

humanity, yet amid the initial unification, there also arose a wish to squelch opposition of U.S. policies foreign and domestic. It continues to this very day. “Patriotic” Americans tell dissenters that if they do not like certain things about America, they should leave rather than advocate change. Such an idea is preposterous. Wanting those who do not automatically stand in line waving the flag to depart is a most heinous and unpatriotic belief in itself. Such a petty, short-sighted desire defies the very wishes of America’s Founding Fathers and her ideology, and thus can be viewed as a greater degree of unpatriotic sentiment than those who criticize. Thomas Jefferson believed that a democratic society properly functions only when her citizens are well-versed on the day’s issues. Ben Franklin poignantly struck this very topic: “Those who sacrifice liberty for a bit of security deserve neither liberty nor security.” If Americans do not willfully seek a multifaceted discourse, then democracy no longer inhabits their minds. Completely disavowing different ide-

ologies critical of governmental policy contradicts American principles. Generalizing and verbally intimidating ideas opposing aspects of U.S. policy defeats the goals that liberty’s defenders the world over sacrificed to achieve. When a U.S. citizen criticizes America, such disparagement should not immediately be perceived as zealous hatred of the stars and stripes but rather a dream that someday the nation will rise to new and greater heights. Of course, if Americans were to move elsewhere such as Afghanistan they would not enjoy as many freedoms, yet that is no

reason to hide ideals. Diverse opinions stitch the fabric of American society and in a time of crisis and near despair, it is necessary to include all colors within the quilt’s pattern. Major positive social change rarely arrives through initial workings by the majority; instead a minority catalyzes improvement. The geneses of women’s suffrage, civil rights, labor laws, environmentalism and withdrawal from Vietnam were midwifed by bold minority movements, who seized opportunities to better society. From the wilderness rose the voices of men and women such as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Rachel Carson, Susan B. Anthony and countless others fighting for largely unpopular causes, yet through history s progression proved most worthwhile, Margaret Meade aptly explained a

minority’s ability to exact change; Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world, Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Do not forget that the American

Revolutionary War was not initiated by a majority but spearheaded by a group of intellectual dissidents. As our military operations in Afghanistan reach their second month, now more than ever, dissenting minority voices must rise in chorus to reign in a government acting without clear, defined plans while wielding the military might ultimately owned by her citizens. Many Pakistanis are flooding to Taliban ranks. Moderate Islamic governments such as Indonesia are decrying American action. Muslim citizens the world over denounce America’s tactics.

States can ensure Afghanistan’s people receive winter supplies, reassess military and political operations before unseating the Taliban permanently and help win another battle. If we do not attempt to help the Afghan people survive winter’s wrath, then we ourselves are no better than terrorists holding the world hostage with a narrow-minded political agenda, This alternative to the status quo may or may not be efficacious in expelling terrorism, yet it must be heard and assessed to its fullest potential, not brushed away as liberal hogwash. Minority viewpoints must not be immediately silenced in pubhe forums. All must have the opportunity to hear dissent in an open-minded fashion, if for no other reason than to proserve an American ideal. If we do not heed the cautions and criticisms of the minority and in turn seek to destroy their voice, than we are as baseless as the enemies and oppressive ideologies we seek to vanquish. America’s greatness lies in plurality and acceptance—what better way to defy objectives of oppressive terrorists than continue along the path of understanding, the path our enemies loath?

action, if not entire contradictions to the current mission. Explaining U.S. strategy, Condoleeza Rice said, “This is an enemy that has to be taken on, and taken on aggressively, and pressed to the end and we’re going to continue to do that.” The Taliban, however, has already been declared neutralized according to various government and military officials. Society’s war is with terrorism, not a single oppressive faction; the world’s ultimate nemesis is terrorism, not the Taliban. Between six to eight million Afghan citizens face food shortages and hundreds of thousands may die this winter if emergency aid does not reach them. To ignore Afghanistan’s suffering population and disallow structured aid supplies from assuredly reaching those intended to receive it for the sake of satisfying America’s bloodlust. Such an action may only inflame emotions against the United States and her allies from moderate nations whose populations allegiance hangs in the balance, Bombing should pause—if not for more than a few days—so that the United Kevin Ogorzalek is a Trinity sophomore.

Even worse, U.S. bombs are destroying essential supplies to impoverished Afghanis—three out of four Red Cross food warehouses in Kabul no longer exist due to America’s “precision” air strikes. This is not to say that the Taliban should not be removed from power nor that nonpiilitary targets will be entirely avoided, but alternative strategies for victory need to be sought when these simplistic, reactionary methods no longer accomplish their intention. The majority of America applauds continued bombing and military action
