By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

A school-high group of seniors will travel to the University of Oxford as recipients of one of the most prestigious awards in higher education —

the Rhodes Scholarship. A selection committee announced Saturday night that Alexis Blane, Pavan Cheruvu and Samuel Malone are the University’s 31st, 32nd and 33rd Rhodes scholars. “This is unprecedented for Duke and a very exciting moment,” said history professor Peter Wood, who chairs Duke’s Rhodes Advisory Committee. “These are three unique individuals with remarkable track records and exciting potential.... They interviewed more than 900 people, so it’s obviously a very large pool and quite impressive for any single university

master’s tuition hike By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Master’s students received good news Thursday, as the Graduate School announced it only plans to increase their tuition 4.7 percent per year, compared to the 11 percent increase announced earlier in the week. The plan still calls for an 11 percent increase

fees and doctorate student tu- , Lewis Siegel ition. Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel said the original plan resulted from an accounting error and that the new proposal would place the University mid-range among comparable institutions in terms ofboth master’s and doctorate tuition. The Graduate School had originally calculated the yearly .

costs of master’s students tuition based on students taking 24 units per year—like Ph.D students. But master’s degrees generally require 30 units, said Siegel. Because tuition is paid by the unit—three units make a class for master’s students—factoring in another six units increased master’s tuition by 25 percent. This calculation would have moved the University from its goal of being average to being one of the most expensive schools.

Siegel said he did not realize the error until he was putting together the proposal for Friday’s Board of Trustee’s meeting, at which he presented the amended plan. He also said publicity surrounding the issue and feedback from students caused the Graduate School to further analyze the plan. “Of course, I talked to [Graduate and Professional Student Council President!

“Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it." Colin Powell

By DAVID ROHDE with ERIC SCHMITT New York Times News Service

The five-year rule of the TalKABUL, Afghanistan iban, exceptionally harsh even in a land governed for decades by bloodletting, came to an official end Sunday as the last Afghan province slipped from their control. Their fractious opponents, due to start governing in two weeks, agreed to bury some of the many feuds that could jeopardize peace, but the two men most wanted by the United States continued to elude capture American B-52s intensified their bombardment of a complex of caves in eastern Afghanistan where Osama bin Laden was believed to be hiding, and U.S. Marines in the south and the army in neighboring Pakistan tightened the dragnet on the ground. Nonetheless, there was no sign either of the Taliban’s leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, or ofbin Laden himself.

Hamid Karzai, the designated leader of the interim government scheduled to take power Dec. 22, rode into the Taliban’s former stronghold of Kandahar in an unarmed convoy Sunday, entering the city for the first time since its surrender was announced last Thursday, according to an aide. Karzai, who was bom in Kandahar in 1957 but fled after the Taliban took control, reportedly used Omar’s bombed-out residence to chair a meeting and broker a deal to end fighting between two rival anti-Taliban groups. In Washington, officials said new evidence had been found linking bin Laden to the Sept. 11 attacks. Administration officials confirmed a report in The Washington Post that the United States had obtained a videotape showing bin Laden giving a detailed description of the attacks. In a casual conversation with a man who appears to be a cleric, bin Laden marveled at their success, officials said.

Gardens armed robbery reported

e Giving Tree Even

with finals quickly approaching, many Duke students have found the time to give back to the community in the spirit of the

From staff reports An armed robbery, at least the fourth reported on campus this academic year, occurred the evening of Dec. 6 in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, said Maj. Robert Dean of the Duke University Police Department. A student said that at about 7:10 p.m. he was walking through the gardens when he heard someone running behind him. He said the person said “Stop,” and that when the student turned around the person had a handgun. He said the subject told him “Give me your money” and took $75 in cash. The student was not injured. The student described the sus- RPTFFQ pect as a black man, 20 to 30 years old, STO”, 170 to 180 pounds and wearing a blue or black shirt, pants and a. ski mask. Earlier this year, a student was allegedly robbed at gun point in the Blue Zone, and two armed robberies were reported on Central Campus. In addition, an unarmed robbery was reported in the gardens Nov. 17. Campus police warn that the gardens are closed after dusk and that due to recent robberies, they advise against using the gardens a§ a short cut to West Campus. Police say crime victims should contact Duke police as soon as possible by dialing 911 or using emergency phones located throughout campus.

holiday season.

Students have volunteered at a variety of locations and given countless hours and gifts to fulfill the holiday wishes of those less fortunate. For example, the Community Service Center has received so many gifts that it has filled an entire room of its facility. “That’s only the tip of the iceberg,” said Patricia Nobles, CSC office manager. “That other room over there is completely full; you 'I can hardly walk in.” Far from being perturbed by the growing clutter, Nobles and fellow staff members display the rooms with pride. Each bag filled with gifts represents another family whose holidays will be made a little brighter by Project Share, Duke’s branch of the Volunteer Center of Durham’s Share Your Christmas program. The CSC hopes to collect enough to sponsor over 300 individuals, drawing on departmental and individual support from within the Duke community In addition, the center regularly finds support from various dorms, clubs, fraternities and sororities. “We’re gratified to see that so many people, from the students all the way up to the University’s top administrators, are contributing to the cause. We get all :f levels of participation.... Anything helps, because it all brings us closer to the Durham community” said CSC Director Elaine Madison. Marti Dreyer, director of nonprofit services at I the Volunteer Center, shared Madison’s gratinoting that Duke has participated in the Share Your Christmas program since its ini% tiation 26 years ago. “The University has always been a big player in the program, especially since the Community Service Center started up Project Share about 12 years ago. They have always helped us adopt a lot of families,” Dreyer said. Duke’s level of participation shows in the numbers; this year, the University will sponsor

Fort Bragg families without loved ones celebrate holiday As some soliders head out, their spouses and children make plans for the holidays without them By RUTH CARLITZ

loved ones. But at North Carolina’s Fort Bragg military base—home to the 18th Airborne Corps and the U.S. Army Special Operations Command—some families are spending the holidays apart. “It’s hard, especially this time of year,” said Terri, whose husband, a company commander, is currently deployed. “This is the first time he will be gone at Christmas. He has been deployed before but never over the holiday season.”

The base would not release the last

names of those deployed or where they are stationed.

Terri leads the company’s Family Readiness Group, which is part of a program established in the 1980s to provide information and support to soldiers’ families. Nearly 12,000 family

readiness group. In volunteering to take the job of the group’s leader, Terri is following an army

tradition.

“It’s not something you have to do, it’s just something that the comman-

der’s wife will do to support her husband’s career. It helps if the commander and [group] leader are married because you can get information a little easier,” she said, laughing. Linda Ross, who has been involved with family readiness groups since she was married 18 years ago, recalled spending Christmas apart from her husband, Blair, during Operation

Desert Storm. “One afternoon in August, he called and said, ‘Don’t hold dinner for me, I’m going to be late.’ He came home nine months later,” she said. Though the departure was unexpected, Ross did not lament her husband’s absence. “We were just so proud that our

husbands were doing what they were doing,” Ross said. “I knew that this was his career and that this was his love. If his call was to go and support his country, I needed to be a supportive wife for that.” Ross and her three children celebrated as usual, putting up a Christmas tree and gathering with other families in the unit. “The magic of Christmas still goes on—whether Daddy’s here or not,” Ross said. Terri and other families in her readiness group recently made care packages for all the soldiers in her husband’s company. She described the families in her group as doing “remarkably well,” despite the fact that they are without someone special this holiday season. “As the holiday approaches, you always think it’s going to be a lot harder,” Ross said. “But I haven’t had too many negative phone calls.” All of the soldiers in her husband’s company are currently deployed, ex-

cept for those with medical reasons. Both Terri and Ross emphasized

that although the majority of civilian spouses are women, men also play an important role in the readiness group

support system. “It’s definitely not a drawback having [men] as part of our group,” Ross said. “They deserve to have just as much support and accurate information as a woman would.” In addition to serving as resources for spouses, the groups reach out to unmarried soldiers who are often far from family and may not have the resources to get home for the holidays. Fort Bragg spokesperson Maria Taylor would not comment on where the majority of Fort Bragg soldiers are cur-

rently deployed. “Fort Bragg has units deployed all the time to Bosnia and Kosovo. Units could be gone at any time, regardless of what’s going on currently,” she said. “But there may be a feeling that because Fort Bragg is always ready to respond, that call could come.”

Trustees approve Council approves new nursing degree Kilgo renovations Also at meeting, Lange reports 17 of 20 scholars granted tenure ByAMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

The Board of Trustees Friday approved $l7 million in summer 2002 renovations to three Kilgo Quadrangle dormitories. At their quarterly meeting, trustees also approved changes to Duke retirees’

health insurance and held discussions regarding athletics, the Graduate School and the University’s financial position. The dormrenovations are the first phase of a project that will significantly improve dorms in Kilgo, Crowell and Craven quads and possibly Few quad. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said the renovations will likely take at least four years. During the project, Duke will add air conditioning and new data ports for each student, new lighting in hallways, elevators and sprinkler protection throughout the buildings; it will also renovate all bathrooms and make them accessible to the disabled. “[The dorms are being renovated due to] aging mechanical systems, need for air conditioning, need for finishes to be upgraded [and the] need for bathrooms to be updated and replaced,” Moneta wrote in an e-mail. Moneta provided the impetus to renovate the dorms during the summer rather than the academic year, speeding up the University’s transition to provide housing for all sophomores on West Campus next year. At the meeting, trustees also approved changes that will reduce the percentage the University conSee

tributes to retirees’ health coverage. Beginning in 2003, current retirees covered by the plan will receive 80 percent coverage—down from 85 percent. In the future, retirees will be covered through a multi-step system in which the University’s contribution is based on both the employee’s age and years of service. The change results from accounting procedures that require the University to increase the amount it budgets for retirees’ medical coverage from about $5 million to $6 million annually to $25 million more. IN OTHER BUSINESS: The trustees discussed the academic lives of student-athletes, in particular the distribution of majors among them and the obstacles to choosing certain majors, said President Nan Keohane.

Keohane added that the Campaign for Duke remains on schedule to reach its targeted $2 billion goal by December 2003 and that donations to the Annual Fund continue to improve a month after they were down about 40 percent. Trustees also attended the groundbreaking for the Nasher Museum of Art Thursday night. The $2O million museum will house the existing collection of the Duke University Museum of Art. Keohane announced Thursday that the Nasher Foundation of Dallas, Texas, will donate $2.5 million in honor of founder Raymond Nasher, who contributed $7.5 million to the museum.

Government officials exploring al-Qaeda’s operation in Bosnia found operatives skimmed money from humanitarian charities and linked up with Bosnian crime bosses. The success in Bosnia made it a model for al-Qaeda to use in embattled countries around the world. The expansive and self-sufficient structure of the network makes the Bush administration’s attempt to crush it as vital as the military action in Afghanistan, experts say. “A military success would not be sufficient without an attack on the financial infrastructure” of al-Qaeda, said Michael Zeldin, former head ofthe money laundering section at the Justice Department. “If that stays in place, then you may chase them from one geography to the next, you may be disruptive, but you haven’t gotten to the root of the problem.” Since Sept. 11 the Bush administration has taken three public steps to block dozens of individuals, companies, charities and other organizations with al-Qaeda connections from the international banking system. But out of public view, the effort is far broader, government officials say, involving diplomatic and covert actions. Working with governments in the Middle East and Europe, officials have privately confronted several international charities with accusations that terrorists had infiltrated their organizations and were diverting money to al-Qaeda. U.S. investigators, working with foreign counterparts, have monitored back transactions trying to track down al-Qaeda supporters. So-called “jump

teams” of U.S. forensic accountants, lawyers and other experts have descended on foreign countries to review records in search of al-Qaeda connections. Evaluating progress on the financial front is far more difficult than it is in military battles. Much of the effort is only now getting under way, and the Bush administration has made public virtually none of the evidence it says it has linking individuals and private entities to al-Qaeda. Success in this fight will be hard-won, experts say, primarily because bin Laden has fundamentally changed the nature of terrorist financing. In effect, at a time when state sponsorship for terrorism was in decline, bin Laden launched a privatization of terror, creating a far more diffuse network than any faced in the past. “The decline in state-sponsored terrorism means that the private support for terrorist groups has become the most essential element in fund raising,” said Reuven Paz, former academic director with the International Policy Institute for Counterterrorism in Herzlia, Israel. “That means any attempt to cut the money flow into al-Qaida or other similar organizations will prove far more difficult than it has been in the past.” It all began—as with most things al-Qaeda—with the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. As Muslims trooped there to defend the Islamic nation, wealthy Saudi businessmen funneled millions of dollars to support the effort through assorted charities. Among those businessmen was bin Laden, an heir to a Saudi construction fortune, who worked alongside charitable groups to collect money and arms for the rebels.

about,” he said. The Graduate School is increasing tuition and fees to offset growing costs and deficits. With the latest change for master’s students, it will be about $250,000 in debt.

“We’re a little more in the hole, but we can’t charge students outrageous amounts,” Siegel said. When he made the original announcement, Siegel said he would consider grandfathering current master’s students, reducing or eliminating the tuition difference. Tuition will increase for master’s students by $3O per course—from $790 to $B20—and will probably increase 4.7 percent for the foreseeable future, said Siegel. Frederick Mayer, director of the public policy grad-

uate program, said he thought the newest plan somewhat alleviated the situation. “A 4.6 or 4.7 percent increase is not trivial but it is better news than it might have been,” Mayer said. “The real issue now will be what kind of financial aid packages we can put together. I am hopeful we will be able to work with the administration and make sure public policy students are not so saddled with debt that they cannot go into public service.” Tyler Gellash, an economics master’s and law student, said the decision-making process warranted more feedback from students. “I think most of us feel relief mainly because there were rumors that it would be a lot worse,” Gellash said. “But the way it was brought up and not made public was a shame. It seems as though [the amended

crease has less effect on doctorate students, whose tuition and fees are usually paid for by research grants. Fees for both groups of students—what Siegel called a head tax—will increase from $1,350 this year to $1,500 next year and then to $l,BOO the following year. “The impact of the fee increase is going to be tremendous on upper-level students,” said Heisler, a third-year sociology student. “But they are a particularly hard group to fight for.

A STUDENT leads a tour across East Campus. Early admission applications rose 32 percent this year.

More blacks apply to Duke ADMISSIONS from page 1 “We want to be responsive to people who know Duke is their first choice, and to this much larger group of students who aren’t in a position in October of their senior year to make a firm commitment to one school,” he said. About 24 percent of early applicants listed themselves as members of minority groups, down slightly from 26 percent last year. Individually, each racial category saw an increase in the number of applicants, but the largest rise came among black students. Their applications rose 35 percent over last year, from 60 to 81. The number of Latino applicants rose 3 percent, from 64 to 66, and the number of Asian applicants rose 4 percent, from 143 to 149. The increase is encouraging for the University’s efforts to recruit more black students, said junior Troy Clair, president of the Black Student Alliance.

He cited continuing recruitment efforts as one possible factor in the rise, particularly after last year’s Duke Student Movement protests occurred during black student recruitment weekend. “I know many students in the Class of 2005 whose matriculation visits happened to coincide with the Duke Student Movement, and they say they were really encouraged by the demonstrations, so maybe some of that carried over into the Class of 2006,” Clair said. Guttentag declined to offer specifics on the academic strength of the application pool, but said the distribution of SATs and other measures was similar to previous years even with the increase in applications. The Pratt School of Engineering saw a slightly higher increase in applications over Trinity College. Engineering applications rose 30 percent, compared with 21 percent in Trinity.

Massacre in Michigan: Duke schools Wolverines By MICHAELJACOBSON

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Ask any Wolverine about his game against Duke Saturday, and he will say it was decided in the first eight minutes, when the Blue Devils, in a blizzard of slam dunks and 23-foot jump shots, propelled themselves to a 29-4 lead. For Duke, Jason Williams dropped 14 in just a couple ticks over four minutes, and both Mike Dunleavy and Chris Duhon capitalized on fast breaks created by strong team defense. On the other side, La Veil Blanchard, Michigan’s most heralded player, picked up three fouls in seven minutes, overshadowing the fact that he scored his 1000th career point later in the game. And the local police should have restrained Bernard Robinson, who had averaged close to 12 points a game coming into the day, from throwing up brick after hopeless brick.

Women’s basketball stays hot, beats UVa, Georgetown By DREW KLEIN The Chronicle

WASHINGTON The Duke women’s basketball team seems to have shrugged off the losses of Crystal White and Rometra Craig like so much dead weight. The squad did not appear to be seriously hampered as it rolled over Virginia, 107-73, in its first ACC game of the season Thursday, two days before disposing of Georgetown (5-1), 89-54. The victories concluded a four-game road trip highlighted by the Blue Devils’ (7-2, 1-0 in the ACC) victory over seventhranked Louisiana Tech Dec. 2. Duke coach Gail Goestenkors now sees only three Blue Devils when she glances at her bench during a game. But every player on the eight-person squad contributes, at least when the team is firing on all cylinders as it was Saturday against the unranked Hoyas. Six Blue Devils scored in double figures, and junior Vicki Krapohl added nine. Alana Beard said she was not surprised by the number of Blue Devils scoring so many points. “It would be awesome if we could get all eight players in double figures,” she said.. “Every time we can do that we know we’re gonna win.” Although the Hoyas never gained the lead, they were able to consistently answer the Blue Devils’ scor-

ing spurts in the first half. The lead reached double digits only once, at 4:50 remaining in the half, when Sheana Mosch sank a free throw after draining a three-pointer from the corner and drawing a foul. The margin remained at 10 for only a few seconds, however, as Lesley Walker responded with a three for Georgetown, followed by a quick layup seconds later. Walker then grabbed a defensive board with 3:27 remaining, leading to another Hoya three-pointer and cutting the Duke lead to two, at 33-31. It was as close as the Hoyas would get, and the last time they would score in the first half. Duke stretched the lead to nine in the final three minutes on a three from Beard and two baskets from hometown favorite Monique Currie, who attended The Bullis School a few miles from Georgetown’s McDonough Arena. With the onset of the second half, the Blue Devils began to show their athletic superiority, beating the Hoyas to nearly every rebound on both ends of the floor. Duke finished the game with 45 rebounds to Georgetown’s 22, grabbing 14 more boards than its opponents in the second half alone. Combined with five three-pointers to zero by the Hoyas, the Blue Devils had all the offensive firepower they would need. Goestenkors was particularly happy with Duke’s rebounding effort.

It was a team effort,” Gbestenkors said. “To have Sheana Mosch go in there [for 10 rebounds]..., this was our best rebounding effort of the season.” The Hoyas began to stretch themselves thin, as the lead expanded and then quickly contracted for a few more minutes. Then, down 10 with 14:23 remaining, they snapped. A layup by Michelle Matyasovsky began what would become a 13-0 run for Duke over the next three minutes.

From staff and wire reports

While the women’s basketball team packed up its bags for a two-game road trip in Virginia and Washington, D.C., sophomores Rometra Craig and Crystal White decided to pack up their bags from Duke permanently. Despite being members of Duke’s much-hyped recruiting class of 2000, White and Craig received less playing time throughout the season as freshmen Monique Currie and Wynter Whitley have emerged as stars for the Blue Devils. Craig cited homesickness as her primary reason for transferring. “I wish Duke the best for the rest of the season, but this was a decision I had to make,” Craig said in a statement. “It has been really hard being away from my family and I just want to be closer to home.” Meanwhile, White said that she had enjoyed her time at Duke, but that it simply was not the best place for her at the current time. Coach Gail Goestenkors had nothing but positive words to say about her former players. “We are sad to see Rometra and Crystal leave,” the Duke coach said. “However, we want them to be happy, wish them only good things and hope they will be very successful in the future.”

disgusting about this is I gotta wake up tomorrow and relive this crap.” Goestenkors, by contrast, emphasized the difficulty of successfully completing a tough roadtrip at a stressful time ofthe year. “I’m just really proud of the team,” she said. “This is a tough road stretch for us, with finals coming up.” The Blue Devils will finally have an opportunity to rest —if it can be called that—with a week off for the final exam period. Their schedule resumes Sunday in Cameron Indoor Stadium against UNC-Greensboro.

Although the Hoyas appeared to recover with two consecutive steals converted into short-range baskets, the floodgates had already opened. Georgetown downed only three field goals in the final nine minutes of the second half, and the Blue Devils never looked back as they stretched their lead to 35. Georgetown coach Pat Knapp bristled as he recounted his team’s second-

half collapse.

“We were outclassed,” he said. “And our players can’t be outclassed. That is a gut and a heart issue....What’s

Young-Boozer matchup displays talent of both players � COMMENTARY from page 9 “Chris Young was our catalyst today” Michigan coach Tommy Amaker said. “He was our one big bright spot with his presence inside and ability to score. He

really anchored the inside for us.” In fact, the first half ended with Boozer looking fully outclassed by Michigan’s big man. Against lesser opponents, Boozer typically maximizes his output by asserting his brute strength to overpower his defenders. Nevertheless, realizing that he needed a physical performance to reverse that trend, Young used all of his 240-pound frame to stop Boozer from creating any easy shots, and the Alaska native headed into the locker room with only six points on l-for-4 shooting. Krzyzewski, impressed and slightly taken aback by Young’s performance, gushed over the Michigan center. ‘Young was sensational. He was very difficult to defend in the post, and they do very good things to get him the ball,” the Duke coach said. “They.use that kid

as a real weapon. Two years ago, no one would say that about Chris Young, but that’s what he is—a weapon.” After a 20-minute intermission to assess the damage, Boozer returned in the second period with renewed vigor, and the prize fight reached its fevered pitch. In nine minutes of neck-breaking, head-to-head basketball, Boozer dropped 17 points without missing any of his six field goal attempts, while Young countered with 12 of his team-high 25. “The second half I was not doing a good job of getting around him,” Young admitted. “I was playing behind him a lot, and he was getting good shots.” Scoring totals aside, the two behemoths battered each other so thoroughly that they could only muster three rebounds apiece. At times it seemed as if they were simply too busy jockeying for better inside position to think to grab the ball. “I think they were both difficult for each other to defend,” Krzyzewski said. “When two guys are pound-

ing and pounding like that, you’ll find that the center doesn’t rebound too well. It’s like they’ve just been in a sumo-wrestling match.” Ultimately, the game itself did not hinge upon the victor of this particular struggle, but the contest’s real drama, especially when Duke stretched the game out into garbage-time mode, played out under the boards. “It was incredibly difficult,” Young noted, with a grin that expressed both exhaustion and pride. “I went up against one of the best big men I have ever played, and I came out having played a good game.... It was just confidence—confidence in myself, and my teammates having confidence in me.” At the beginning of the season, Boozer said he wanted to show that he was one of the country’s best big men. Saturday afternoon, he was one of the best big men on the floor, and considering his competition, Boozer should hardly feel insulted.

The night before finals ’Twas the night before finals and all through the college, All the students were scurrying, cramming for knowledge. The banners were hung up in Cameron with care, In hopes that a fourth championship soon would rest there The president was all nestled, snug in her bed, While visions of dollar signs danced in her head, With the capital campaign set to surpass its cap, Traffic and parking were set for a long winter’s nap When out on the quad, there arose such a clatter, Dukies sprang from their books to see what was the matter. Larry Moneta had arrived with a great flash, To tear open res life with a sweeping slash. The moon lit through the walls ofthe newly built WEL, Inviting would-be Trenters to avoid the traditional cell. When what to our wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature provost with his curriculum dear. With a language requirement to give it a bang, I knew in a moment, it must be Pete Lange! More rapid than eagles, his courses they came, On him for their misery, the students did blame, No matrix! No writing! No cross-cultural inquiry! No science! No language! No genomics for me! To the top ofthe rankings, the administrators cried! Off to old Mugshots, the students did hide. Where C. J. Walsh was there waiting ever so sly, The portly redhead scarfed down his mince pie. Meanwhile his elf, Drew Ensign, was scamming, To steal from the Union the students’ programming. After three seasons Airborne crashed through the roof, And jolly Joe Alieva seemed much too aloof. But to students, their cares did decrease with each round, Will Willimon warned, “Stop fooling around!” Jim Wulforst was handing out Oak Room platters with care, In the hopes that someone—anyone—would eat dinner there New Mayor Bill Bell jumped on his sleigh, Will Durham development get underway? As the sun rose, and finals began, Students picked up their pencils and aced their exams This insanity must end, for goodness sake. The Chronicle wishes you all a fun wdnter break.

Ifyou

think this is a real editorial, good luck on finals. With apologies to Maj. Henry Livingston, Jr.

Letters to

the editor

Speaker offers to debate advertisement protesters A Nov. 29 story in The Chronicle, which reported my speech at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, described me as an “arch-conservative.” Yet I am a pro-choice moderate on abortion and have a 50-year record of supporting civil rights as Martin Luther King, Jr. understood them. Those who walked out of my speech had closed minds when they came in, and were not there to listen, let alone to learn. UNC-CH Black Student Movement President Kristi Booker is quoted in The Chronicle explaining the reason she organized the walkout was to protest my past “blatantly racist comments.” According to The Chronicle, “Booker called Horowitz’s past comments ‘divisive and hateful.’” Booker explained, “When you tell me that I for referenced story,

come from an unemployable

people, when you tell me that I should be thankful for the enslavement of my ancestors, when you tell me that I am amongst a group of low-life gang-bangers, yes, that’s hateful speech.” I absolutely agree with Booker that these statements are hateful speech. They are repellent. But I never made a single one of them. Nor can anything I have ever written be reasonably construed in this way. My full views on reparations are on record in a book that I have written called, Uncivil Wars: The Controversy Over Slavery. That people who have suffered discrimination should themselves launch a campaign of intolerance is a sad commentary on the education they have received (or failed to receive) at institu-

tions like UNC-CH and Duke. What kinds of values are reflected when students answer arguments not with counter-arguments, but with hateful slurs, fabricated statements and “protests” designed to silence debate? I have yet to see students at UNC-CH or Duke answer the case I made in my famous advertisement. In my UNCCH speech, I offered to return to North Carolina to debate this issue with those at UNCCH and Duke who have objected to the propositions put forward in my ad. This would be more appropriate to an institution of higher learning than the present campaign of character assassination and know-nothingism, masquerading as civil rights protest. This offer still stands. David Horowitz Los Angeles, Calif.

DSG line monitor clarifies Maryland tenting rules The arrival of winter break means that tenting is quickly approaching, and I want to clarify how tenting will work for the Maryland game. Individuals may establish tents over the winter break; however, only the first 30 tents will be allowed to register early. This registration will take place at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8 in K-Ville. Registration for all other tents will take

place at 5 p.m. on the same day. At that time, a registration location somewhere on the Duke campus will be posted on the DSG website (dsg.duke.edu/k-ville.php). Tents will be registered on a first-come, first-serve basis. A tent needs only one member present in order to register, but that member must have his DukeCard. Beginning at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 8, all tents

must have at least one member present in K-Ville. If you have questions, please visit the DSG website or e-mail me at linemonitor@duke.edu. Good luck on exams and have a great break. Greg

I don’t mean as some sort of brainy, highbrow dweeb, nothing could the kind of painful that can be be further from the truth.

My first interaction with the at endgame into a late night sing-along of ancient PUPPET MASTER consisted of me accidentally uritheme songs, and if you can’t remember what you get “when nating out his window, followed by an impromptu, you take the good and take the bad,” then boy poorly received rendition of The Foundations’ “Build are you gonna feel like a jackass.) To be honest, the relationship between the PATSY Me Up, Buttercup.” He was caught off-guard as he tried vainly to put and me started off on a rocky note.

under the guise of friendship, I have been exacting my revenge upon the mentally inferior PATSY ever since. We grew closer, and after his dreams of fraternity life were crushed by a universal blackball resulting from surfacing rumors about a one-man interpretive dance routine featuring a scene with Nan Keohane and Gail Goenstenkors, we decided to live together. Our friendship was forged over the following semester as the PUPPET MASTER saw his way out the backdoor of the ultra-competitive Arts Dorm, Round Table and Prism rush gauntlets. I myself didn’t quite make a fraternity supposedly because “some of the seniors disapproved,” but in truth because I didn’t adhere to the agenda of latent homosexuality enforced by beer games and other means. Me and the PUPPET MASTER decided to live together and entered the lottery hoping to land on West. Six months later, we found ourselves in a Trent triple with a Railroad Video patron and his blow-up doll. The desolation of Trent was offset by the constant gyrations coming from under the boy’s covers with his inflatable companion being taken to task. It all comes back to the essential lesson that Duke University teaches you: Bill Burig is evil, and he will do anything within the power of his supreme malevolence to make as many people as possible live in uninhabitable living spaces. The only way to survive at Duke is to know who your friends are. And despite all of our disagreements, at least the PUPPET MASTER and I know that we won’t come home to a computer screen littered with female bodybuilders. And as the PUPPET MASTER says, with all of the weirdos out there living double lives as well-adjusted, Chroniclereading Dukies by day and twisted sexual deviants by night, can you really ask anything more?

The PUPPET MASTER and the PATSY wish all a good winter break.

I’ll attempt one more time, in 2002, to convince my students that the old Duke student battle cry is a delusion. “Work hard, play hard,” as a prescription, has been among us for perhaps twenty-five years (since the onset of Slackerdom in the mid 1970s); and time and again it’s proven poisonous—to individual students and to the whole of undergraduate life. If we need a battle cry, how about “Joy in our work”? It may sound comically old-Soviet; but it surely beats “Work hard, play hard” as a slogan for anyone hoping to use four years at Duke to any long-term personal profit. Reynolds Price James B.

Salman Rushdie

When Sunny returns to New Hampshire after the accidental death of her mother, she begins to think she wasn’t as beleaguered as she had felt she was; that her mother’s life was richer than anyone suspected; and that maybe the familiarlooking man at the funeral is the half-brother she doesn’t know she needs.

From one of the most important and acclaimed writers at work today, a thrilling new novel —part murder mystery, part love story—set amid the perils of religious repression in sixteenthcentury Istanbul.

In his eighth novel, Salman Rushdie brilliantly entwines . moments of anger and frenzy with those of humor, honesty, and intimacy. Fury is, above all, a masterly chronicle of the human condition.

One of the finest living writers in the English language, V. S. Naipaul gives us a tale as wholly unexpected as it is affecting, his first novel since the exultantly acclaimed A Way in the World published seven years ago.

In this powerful collection, award-winning writer Elizabeth Cox demonstrates talent, grace, and quiet command of the written word. These stories, many set in the South, examine the lives of common people and how they deal with life when uncommon things happen to them, how they accept their fate sometimes choosing to move on, sometimes not.

DECEMBER 10, 2001

Buying into patriotism When I think back to the first time the concept of money actually hit me, it probably coincided with hearing the word, “No.” “No” often referred to my begging to stay up past my eight o’clock bedtime, stopped me from crossing the street and told me I couldn’t |H|| m »

have dessert. Money did K| I % M S not mean economy, ideology or capitalism. When the dreaded word Alexandra was applied to things, ir wo,re things I couldn’t have, “No” was something new. I remember the little dollar bills my parents would give my friends and me to go to the candy store and get as many lollipops, Reese’s and caramels we could for 100 cents; I watched in awe as my dirty crumpled bill turned into different flavors, colors and sizes. This was hardly an understanding of the economy, of capitalism, though. Despite the fact that my formative years, from age five to about 15, spanned two major recessions and subsequent booms, Penny Candy Store was really the only place the theme of economy had any impact in my life. There was always the question in junior high school and high school of why some girls were somehow always able to make 10 trips to the Gap and Banana Republic each week and others only once on their birthdays. And I’ll never forget one friend who in French class, when asked the question, “Combien de salles de bains avez-vous?” responded, “Neuf! J’ai neuf salles de bains.” Even then, my mind did not automatically jump to the fact that this girl

had more money—and in that case, nine bathrooms—than most people in the class, but to the fact that her mother must say “No” a lot less than my mother did, and that it wasn’t quite fair. At the same time, these vague notions ofmoney and spending were developing, I sang the Pledge of Allegiance in class and celebrated the Fourth of July every summer. I knew a little of the fact that the success of the country depended on the idea of capitalism, which apparently had something to do with the national anthem, democracy, freedom and Uncle Sam, not necessarily in that order. Now, in college, with my own bank account and bills to pay, the economy part of capitalism has become part of my everyday life. As I learned to manage my money and take economics classes, I began to see how the economy worked, and how my little Wachovia checking account worked into the rest of the economy. Although looking for my balance on my banking receipts and paying for food at Wellspring doesn’t necessarily make the freedom bells ring in my head, it is only now that I am realizing that is what it is: freedom, the freedom to spend however you want on whatever you want in whatever quantity. Hearing ads on the radio for Durham Nissan saying, “Come to Durham Nissan now. We’re doing our part to stimulate the economy!” and local bars saying, “Dollar pitchers Wednesday nights, come drink and help the economy!” finally made me understand the relationship between our nation’s economy and ideology. For the first time in my life, I can actually feel the impact of the recession, with job

recruiters’ telling seniors not to bother applying, to go to grad school and to try

back in January. It seems like every store in North Carolina is decorated with red, white and blue and every product tri-colored. Now, spending money is noble; instead of sticking to my usual Special K and Fruit Loops, I’ll go ahead and buy the patriotically colored Rice Krispies. The war is our new excuse; how can you refuse a brand or restaurant saying, “Buy this and help our country!”? It’s the most effective new advertising campaign yet. Consumerism and patriotism are becoming intertwined for the first time since World War 11, and then there were hardly as many things to buy; just

think of how many American items are mass-produced. This new national fervor ranges from stratum to stratum, covering all social positions: You can buy a $l,OOO Moschino-sequined top on the cover of New York Magazine and at the same time a 69-cent flag key chain from K-mart. Herein the South, the “Jesus is coming” signs on 1-85 are supplemented by “God Bless New York” signs—definitely a novel appearance. In this new atmosphere ofmass marketed unity, any excuse is viable. Next time your bursar’s bill comes home, just say you were helping the economy. Alexandra Wolfe is a Trinity senior and a writer for Recess.

Broadening the corridors of power

U.N. Security Council should be expanded to reflect changes in the world since WWII

Suppose you were instructed to draw up a list of the most powerful nations in the world. There seem to be many ways to answer this question, as there are a multitude of criteria used to judge a country’s international position, but one look at the charter of the United Nations suggests that the answer is actually quite obvious. For the last 56 years, the self-appointed masters of the world were the five permanent members ofthe UN. Security Council. To start with, there are the two military superpowers—United States and Russia though the latter’s Pavel

and no sanctions imposed. The council’s resolutions are the only U.N. decisions that member states are legally obligated to follow—and with substantial, tangible penalties for the violators. It was the council, for instance, that effectively gave the green light to the recent bombing of Afghanistan. With this power at their disposal, the permanent members are in a position to flout all norms of international law, if they so choose. This power is immense. It is also unprecedented. But it unquestionably helped keep the world free of major conflict since 1945. The problem is that the countries possessing it do not reflect the present-day distribution of global clout. Simply stated, the big position is undoubtedly Molchanov players are no longer just the original on the wane. Add their three main partners in the victorious “big five.” Economically and militarily, World War II alliance—France, strong competitors have risen, and Britain, China—and it is clear that they deserve a seat at the head table. despite all the geopolitical changes Even if they do not obtain the coveted that occurred since 1945, the Allies veto power, their opinions should be still have the most privileged position represented in any substantive discusany nation can aspire to.

A feminist misconception Gender and political advocacy should not stereotype women into certain groups According to Gloria Steinem, “A

woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” Until I see salmon pedaling upstream on

tiny Schwinns, I’m going to have to disagree. Women without men are many things: independent, healthy,

fulfilled. But some are Faran also lonely. Fish don’t .1 fcnicii need bicycles; bikes don’t talk or kiss, or drive you to the airport. But people, men included, need other people; and no one can exist without community. We need connections and contact. Men are not enemies, free radicals or even free sex. They are 50 percent of our communities, and they are important. Most women interact with men daily, and as they become our friends, we realize that maybe Steinem was wrong—men and bicycles are nothing alike. My 12speed has never taken me to a party or dried my tears. My friends have, and they’ve come in all shapes, colors and .

yes, genders. I like guys. And dare I say it, they’re necessary. Also necessary is my firm belief in community. That’s why I live in the Women’s Studies selective living group. It’s not because I don’t like men, need men or invite men to exist in my life. Yet all too often, because I express an interest in understanding gender dynamics, people think I’m a man-hater who wears combat boots and burns bras. Well, I’ll let you in on a little

secret: I did attend a bonfire last year. It was for basketball. I didn’t burn my bra; I burned a bench, and I did it with a giant group of guy friends. Many people—girls and guys—work with women’s issues on campus. They volunteer at Safe Haven, take Women’s Studies classes and support women’s sports. The support system for women’s issues at Duke is huge. Those involved are crazy, fun, diverse, smart and beautiful. This goes double for my family in Women’s Studies. Some people, the ones who have met us, know this. Then there are people like The Guy Who Walked Me Home. He was being a total gentleman—that is, until he got to my front door. “You live in Women’s Studies?!” he asked, aghast. “Aha!” he said and glared like a detective, “You’re a lesbian!” If my life had a laugh track, it would start here. I’m not a lesbian. I chose to live in my dorm because it felt like home, not because of my sexual orientation, my major or my politics. It’s because I love community, and I have found mine.

Some Duke girls haven’t been so lucky. Too often, I hear women say, “I’m not a feminist.” Time to cringe. Some claim that outspoken 1970s feminists set the women’s movement back by being too vocal. I say what sets it back is silence. All of you “‘not-a-’ feminists,” listen up: Women at Duke, including you, expect the same rights and privileges as their male peers. With the exception of greek housing (which only grants sec-

tions to guys), women at Duke have an equal stake everywhere, and they work hard to make the most of it. From winning tennis matches to discovering chemical compounds, Duke girls do it for themselves. Yet with all their accomplishments, some are afraid to admit that they’re independent, strong and even (gasp) feminists. This is a huge problem and a huge shame. Feminism is not a dirty word. The more public feminists we have, the more the Duke community sees how diverse that word really is. And as far as I’m concerned, if you believe that women should have the same opportunities and quality of life as men, you are a feminist. I hate to break it to you sorority girls campaigning for sections, but guess untrue what? You have joined our braburning ranks. A few months go ago, someone told me wasn t a teminist. When I challenged her, the woman responded, “Oh please; just look at you!” At the time, I just looked down at my Miu Miu wedge-heels, confounded. Later, I felt rage. There’s an unspoken, untrue rule that says femininity and feminism don’t go together. Lately it’s trapped me in the middle of myself. I like to be “girly,” with clothes and makeup, chick flicks and sorority meetings. But I also

believe in working for social change. Because of that dichotomy, some people see me as oppressed while claim I’m empowered. I can only claim myself. And that self isn’t going to be defined by anyone but me. I’m sorry if I don’t conform to your ideals, your fears or your cause. I won’t. I’d rather be self-righteous than self-deprived, and if I stay silent, it will only make things worse. So, here’s how to live happily ever after: I’ll keep being a feminist, working toward my goals and knowing that my limitations and my sex aren’t the same thing. And I’ll ask you to picture me in your head. Now envision every woman that works what she loves and speaks with conviction. We are feminists, and we are all over the place. See, Yo Mama might wear combat boots, but most of us don’t. L'jasvt year, senior Alisa Nave invented a project. She walked all over campus, asking people to complete the sentence, “I am a feminist, and I never got to participate in her cause, but if I did, here’s what I’d say; I am a feminist, and I dare all ofyou to discover why you’re a feminist, too.

There’s an unspoken, rule that says femininity and feminism don’t together .

The year that was 2001

Goodbye, 2001. I know it’s three weeks before your official retirement, but given what a rotten year you were, I’m euthanizing you early. Was there anything truly positive (and not trivially positive) about 2001? Basketball victories aside (and technically, when Duke wins, it is not a positive to most of the basketball watching community—jealously reigns supreme), from

the news to the arts to sports to business and to politics, 2001 was JB®** an affair to forget. mjSf | Even if Osama bin Laden hadn’t attacked our nation and John Ashcroft hadn’t waged
