Almost four months after a reported attempted rape at Erwin Square Apartments, the victim—a recent Duke graduate—is suing the owners and managers of the complex. The woman is asking for $lO,OOO in compensatory damages on the basis that her former landlords verbally represented that the apartments and premises of Erwin Square Apartments were safe and secure, but did not provide such an environment, according to documents from a civil suit filed May 30 in Durham CounJANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE ty Superior Court.

Although undergraduate application numbers set a record high this year and Duke’s acceptance rate was the lowest in school history, matriculation yield remained a stagnant 43.4 percent for the Class of2006, according to statistics released this week by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. As of Tuesday, 1,620 high school seniors had told Duke they would matriculate in August, up from 1,587 in 2001, when 44 percent of those accepted decided to enroll. Director of Undergrduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said the final yield for this year and last should be almost identical, as his office continues to hear from students accepted off the waitlist. “I’m never satisfied with our yield on admitted students,” said Guttentag, who anticipated the similar yield but was still disappointed. “I always want that to be higher.,.. We are competing with schools that are increasingly aggressive with their financial aid packages and... offer a lot

of scholarships. We’re working harder and our peers are too.” Yield data for Duke’s peer institutions was unavailable Wednesday, as Duke was one of

the first schools to release such information. Guttentag said he was delighted with other statistics for this year’s pool, especially the number of applicants—an alltime high of 15,892—and the percentage of minority students in the Class of 2006. “I’m pleased about the continued strong representation of students of color in the incoming class,” he said. “For the second year in a row, a third of the class is going to be made up ofstudents of color.” Just over 33 percent of those matriculating listed themselves as a member of a minority group when applying, about the same as last year. Asian students again are the most highly represented, with a total of 239, or just under 15 percent. Black students compose about 10.5 percent with 170 students, along with 122 Latino students (7.5 percent) and five Native American students See ADMISSIONS on page 12

Lyon Park’s long-planned community center, heralded as a top project ofthe Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership Initiative, has been hounded for years by bad financial choices. Monday night, the Durham City Council voted 6-1 to take over management ofthe center for up to five years. Already a year and a half behind schedule, the center is set to open next month and is expected by many community leaders to be an anchor of the Lyon Park area. Calvary Ministries, which submitted financial documents to the council, admitted it has raised only a small portion of the funds necessary to build and operate the facility since a 1996 bond referendum provided the project with $6.4 million, “They asked us to do it,” said Durham Mayor Pro Tempore Lewis Cheek. “They realized it would not be possible to operate the center. They don’t have the money, they don’t have the manpower and so the fact of the matter is, if the city hadn’t stepped in to operate it, it would not be placed into operation.” The city, which had already committed to paying $350,000 annually to assist Calvary for operating city parks and recreational programs at the center, will now spend an estimated $585,000 to operate the facil-

Israeli tanks confine Arafat to office Officials said Palestinian terrorism wave and bus attack prompted the incursion By IBRAHIM HAZBOUN The Associated Press

Israeli RAMALLAH, West Bank tanks surrounded Yasser Arafat’s West Bank office and penned him inside early Thursday, hours after a Palestinian blew up a huge car bomb next to a bus and killed 17 Israeli passengers. The incursion into Ramallah came exactly five weeks after U.S. intervention helped lift a 34-day siege of Arafat’s headquarters and amid talk of renewed action against the Palestinian leader.

The Israeli military said it acted amid “a wave ofPalestinian terrorism sweeping the state of Israel,” including the bus attack. It said Arafat’s Palestinian Authority is “directly responsible for terrorism that originates in its territory.”

Tanks and armored personnel carriers took positions outside Arafat’s office but did not move to go inside, and there were exchanges of fire between soldiers and Palestinians, officials from both sides said. The area was declared a closed military zone, and a curfew was declared in the area. Several ministers have demanded that Israel expel Arafat, and Israel’s media have speculated that another major attack would prompt such an action. But other Israelis warn that an expulsion would lead to chaos and more

violence. Israel Radio reported that Israel did not intend to harm Arafat. “He’s safe, but there was heavy shelling, heavy shooting. I could

Tenure case prompts questions � Tami Biddle, assistant professor of history, was denied tenure by the University during this year’s hiring season. By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Several colleagues and former students of a popular faculty member are expressing surprise and disappoint-

morning.

Holler was participating in a monthly tradition, in which couples can register on the first Monday of each month for Chapel weddings to be held that month of the following year. Moreover, Holler, Trinity ’99, was returning to the Chapel steps where she and her now-fiance Rob Howard first kissed. They met when they were both freshmen in Brown Dormitory. Holler thought it was necessary to camp out because June is a popular time for weddings and the Chapel has strict limitations on how many ceremonies can take place each month. Weddings can only take place Saturdays during four two-hour time slots beginning at noon, so long as there are no conflicts with Universi-

ty scheduling.

Wedding tenting, which Chapel Events Coordinator Mollie Keel said has been happening for three or four years, occurs mainly during May and

“If you’re from out of town, it is very difficult. Monday makes it very hard to camp out,” she said. Last month, Holler paid two undergraduates $5O to camp out for a wedding date because she and her fiance were unable to make it; Chapel rules simply state that an individual must be present to register. However, because the May date they selected conflicted with a friend’s wedding, they decided to camp out again and get another date. “It’s a good idea that they have an organization to it, but camping 0ut.... I don’t know,” said Kristin Schroeder, Trinity ’Ol, whose mother tented with her.

Perhaps the most common urban legend is that a couple must reserve the Chapel several years in advance because of its popularity. As the couples learned, this is not the case. “It is a very unique site, something you never forget,” said senior Megan Andrews, who tented with her fiance Shane Smith. Andrews said her parents and grandparents were excited when she suggested the Chapel as a potential wedding site,

A fourth couple, Danielle Tart and

Benjamin Keren, whose father is a professor at Duke, also spent the night on the Chapel quad. Another rumor is that the Chapel is free to Duke graduates within 10 years of graduation. In fact, the Chapel costs $1,260 per wedding, which includes use of the Chapel for

two hours, a wedding director, an organist, a sound systems director and a parking guard. Chapel weddings can also have their pitfalls. Photographers must stand 10 pews behind the last-seated guest because the noise made by the camera shutter can be distracting. Several couples expressed concern that this can prevent photographers from capturing the first kiss or the exchange of rings. However, videotaping may take place from the side pews. A couple must have some Duke affiliation to marry in the Chapel. Only alumni, full-time employees and fulltime students can wed there. “It’s good [that the Chapel is restricted to Duke affiliates]. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to get it,” Schroeder said.

Gene linked to testicular cancer

Medical Center researchersTiave identified the first gene known to be highly correlated with testicular cancer. In the study led by Haifan Lin, associate professor of cell biology, scientists found that the 63 percent of men who inherit the overactive form of the hiwi gene, which belongs to the piwi family of genes discovered in 1997 in Lin's laboratory, were at an increased likelihood for the testicular cancer seminoma. The findings, published in today’s edition of Oncogene, made use of Drosophilia, or fruit flies, whose 12,000-gene genome contains a fraction of the 30,000 to 40,000 genes found in humans.

Tampons reduce risk of endometriosis

According to findings in a recent study, women who engage in sexual activity or use tampons while menstruating may lower their chances of developing endometriosis, a painful condition which often plays a role in infertility. The research, led by scientists at Yale and Southern Connecticut State Universities and published in the current issue of Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, contradicted common assumptions that these two activities worsened the backup of menstrual fluid. Instead, the study indicated that orgasm and tampons may aid in clearing debris from the uterus. The researchers examined over 2,000 women as part of an investigation into the effects of sexual activity, tampon use and douching on menstruation. •

Cocaine use inhibits body cooling efforts

A recent study found that cocaine diminishes the body's ability to cool itself and also hides the over-

heating from users, keeping them from taking appro-

priate response measures. Previous research had found that cocaine's effect on body metabolism raised internal body temperatures, but this study, published in The Annals of Internal Medicine by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, investigated the high number of cocaine deaths in hot weather. The researchers found that cocaine users sweat less and did not experience as much increased blood flow as their control group counterparts. News briefs compiled from staffand wire reports

Nutrition center head aims at diabetes By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

When Dr. Sandy Williams became dean of the School of Medicine last year, he left behind his position as chair of cardiology at the University ofTexas Southwestern Medical Center. Now, he may be hoping to create a pipeline from

Dallas to Durham. Chris Newgard, the recently appointed director of Duke’s Sarah W. Steadman Center for Nutritional Studies, and longtime colleague of Williams, brought 12 members of his Southwestern staffwith him to Durham when he came this spring. Duke established the nutrition center in 1988 to develop and deliver nutritional programs to a range of health care professionals and patients. Newgard, a professor ofpharmacology and cancer biology, wants to use the center as a base for metabolic research—leading to discoveries involving diabetes, obesity and nutrition. He said the center could have much more of a research focus than it has exhibited in the past. “We want to develop a center of excellence in nutrition research,” he said. “[The center] has been a place where research was desired, but has been mostly a clinical [effort].” As Newgard, Trinity ’7B, attempts to transform the center into a research hub, he will have in mind four upcoming appointments to fill for the Steadman center and metabolic research projects, including an expert in transcription biology and a stem cell biologist. Stem cells may be particularly important for treating type I diabetes, Newgard said. Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system turns against insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and destroys them; people with this type of diabetes must take insulin daily to live. Type II diabetes, which is much more

Steadman Center for Nutritional Studies, hopes to use the center as a base for metabolic research. common, develops mostly in adults over age 40 who are overweight. In type II diabetes, the pancreas usually produces enough insulin, but the body cannot use the insulin effectively. Pancreas cells for transplant are in short supply, and the immune system often attacks them because they are foreign. He said that although researchers have progressed toward finding genes that may prevent rejection, they still have work to do learning the nuts-and-bolts of how insulin-producing cells work.

Newgard, who is in the process of moving from Dallas, said that when Williams came to Duke last summer, it was a great opportunity for him as well. Newgard was recruited last summer and officially took the position March 1. He and Williams wrote joint grant proposals covering diabetes and cardiology research when they both worked at Southwestern,

“With Chris at the helm to guide research and recruitment, we can truly enhance the level ofwork already being done at Duke,” Williams said.

Felicia

Gross has never been a woman of small ambitions. As a

Duke undergraduate, she triplemajored in economics, English and political science, and now—-just three years after graduating from the School of Law —has launched a campaign for

Congress. Gross, Trinity ’96, Law ’99, officially declared her candidacy in the First Congressional District of New York March 5, and hopes to obtain the Democratic nomination this summer. “The district needs a new voice, new energy and a new agenda,” Gross said. “I am running against career politicians who don’t sense the urgency of the issues facing the district.” Gross is campaigning on a platform of protecting the environment, improving education, providing quality and affordable health care and helping Long Island families through the current economic downturn. If Gross receives the Democratic nomination this summer—delayed until district boundaries are redrawn—she will be running against incumbent Felix Grucci, a first-term Republican. Her campaign, in a strong Republican Suffolk County district, faces heavy odds. But among those who knew her during her undergraduate and law school years, there is little doubt that Gross has the ability to see her campaign through. Law Professor Neil Vidmar described Gross as a very smart student with a high degree of energy.

“She can manage to handle many topics at once—a requisite, I think, for a politician,” Vidmar said. “She is honest and idealistic without being rigid in her thinking.”

Ole Holsti, professor of political science, whom Gross identified as one of her mentors, recalled Gross as one of his

top students. “She is very bright, very articulate, and as far as I know, she is a person of absolute integrity,” he said. “Today in Congress, turnover is so small, and there are not too many very competitive districts. I think a fresh, bright face such as hers would be a terrific asset.”

Although Holsti said that he had faith in Gross’s ability to serve as a representative, he also noted that her youth could potentially be a negative factor in the campaign. “It’s obviously very unusual to be running this soon after [graduating from law school],” Holsti said. “If you have a guy or a woman who’s in office for 10 or 12 years, they may say that this is a time of great national emergency; that this is not a time when we want to rely on someone so young.” Gross did not believe that would work to her disadvantag stead, she said getting her mr is her biggest campaign chalL Gross remembered her tim fondly, crediting the Univers:' pressing upon students “the stepping into the arena and make a difference.”

University names department heads By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle The University announced nine new department chairs in Arts and Sciences last week, including the

anticipated external hire of a new head of the biology department.

James B. Duke Professor of Mathematics David Morrison will take the helm in mathematics, along with Professor Harold Baranger in physics, Associate Professor Anne Allison in cultural anthropology, Professor Tim Strauman in psychology—social and health sciences, Professor Phil Morgan in sociology and Professor Wesley Kort in religion. Philip Benfey will leave his associate professorship at New York University to head the Department of Biology. University administrators made the decision to hire an external chair for biology to help ease the merge between the zoology and botany departments in 2000. Professor Craufurd Goodwin will serve as acting chair of economics until a full-term chair is named next year while Associate Professor of the Practice Ingeborg Walther, currently acting chair of Germanic languages and literature, will continue for a regular term, “They are all people who have shown strong leadership capacities and are very much committed to implementing our strategic plan,” said Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe. He added that the high turnover rate this year was coincidental and that

New A&S Chairs

the number of chair openings each year fluctuates. Many of the chairs expressed eagerness to take over their new positions and continue advancing the long-term plans of their departments. “I think this is an exciting time for sciences at Duke with the new sciences building coming along and the new engineering building already breaking ground,” Baranger said. “The first priority in the department is to advance nanophyiscs.” Another significant area of concern for his department will be developing courses for non-scientists, non-majors and FOCUS programs, as well as continuing to address sexual harassment and gender equity issues in the department. Morgan said the most pressing challenge for the sociology department will be “moving the department forward” in order to boost its national status. “The Duke sociology program-is ranked around 15th,” he said. “We need to make the personnel decisions to move into the top 10.” For Benfey, who specializes in plant genetics, making the move from NYU to Duke was a logical choice. “I was looking for a department that had a potential to be an exciting place for the next five to 10 years,” he said. “Biology is a very important area here, and [the University] appears to be willing to do what it takes to keep Duke at the forefront.” Academic chairs usually stay on board for terms of no less than three years.

Distinguished alumnus dies Durham native and Duke alumnus Dante Lee Genuine, professor emeritus of government and foreign affairs and assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, died in Amsterdam in late May in a train accident. He was 70 years old. The internationally known political theorist graduated from Duke in the early 1950s and received his master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University. Germino taught political theory until his retirement from Virginia in 1997, when he moved to teach as a visiting professor at the University of Amsterdam.

JANE HETHERINGTON/THE CHRONICLE

THE LYON PARK COMMUNITY CENTER is set to open next month, but only with new financial assistance from the City of Durham

LYON PARK from page 1 ity next year. Calvary will continue to be responsible for further fundraising.

Fredrick Davis, pastor of First Cal-

vary Baptist Church and executive director of Calvary Ministries, pointed to poor media coverage and an inability to build a potential donor base as obstacles to the project’s progress. “The key is finding people, because nobody knows us, finding people to trust in our work, when our work has not yet been started,” Davis said. Calvary first proposed the community center over a decade ago as a renovation of the old Lyon Park Elementary School, and was supposed to raise the funds necessary to maintain the facility. Although the center raised $350,000 in private grants and donations, it had

only $52,000 left after legal fees and salaries for consultants and fundraisers, according to documents presented to the council. Michael Palmer, director of Duke’s Office of Community Affairs, said the current council, which was elected last November, has taken more of a focus on this project than previous councils. Cheek added that because of the investment already put into the center, the council had little choice but to approve the new deal, even in a year when very few city projects will receive extra funding because of budget constraints. “I have a lot ofreservations about the future and I certainly wish that it was not necessary for us to step in and do this,” Cheek said. Davis noted that Duke has helped provide resources and that Palmer has been particularly useful in plotting a

course of strategy for the center. He added that Duke was instrumental in getting The Home Depot, Inc. and KaBOOM! to build a playground for the center, as well as providing the center funds through the Duke United Way

campaign.

Earlier this year, plans for the Emily Krzyzewski Family Life Center were announced, which will also be located in the West End neighborhood near Lyon Park. Palmer said he did not think the Emily Krzyzewski and Lyon Park centers were competing for funds, but added that it is important for the two to work together. “I think right now, we are working to facilitate discussion between the two programs,” he said. “When the Emily K is up and running, [they needl to team up in addressing the issues in the community.”

tempted rape and burglary, allegedly entered the woman’s apartment Feb. 7 in the middle of the night through a window. According to the suit, Lennon threatened for two and a half hours to rape and kill the plaintiff. She called the police, who arrived at the apartment and arrested Lennon, who is currently being held on a $1 million bond. The compensatory damages are being requested on three counts: for physical and psychological injuries, for breach of contract in not providing a safe environment and for her “constructive eviction” as she moved out of the apartment after the assault but continued to pay her lease. Since the assault, the operators and managers at Erwin Square Apartments —whose vast majority of tenants are enrolled at Duke, many of whom are also females—have installed flood

lights to illuminate the parking lot, made the window screens more secure, employed a police officer for on-site security and started citing people who prop doors open, Glenn said. Had these precautions been in place in February, Glenn said he thinks his client would not have been assaulted. “I believe this character was looking for an easy place to break into,” he added. Marty Snyder, business manager at the Belmont Apartments, would not comment on the Erwin case, but said that the Belmont’s controlled access gate and surveillance cameras were significant selling points for its tenants. “We cannot guarantee anyone’s safety, but we try to do as much as we can to provide a safe environment,” Snyder said.

After the brilliantly orchestrated chaos of OK Computer redefined what it meant to make a great album amidst the millennial haze, every band with three prerequisites—a guitar, a hint of droopiness and a dash of talent—has earned the title of "THE NEW RADIOHEAD." Travis and Coldplay have worn that badge the longest, but these two bands beg the question: If the "NEW RADIOHEADS" cannot hold a paranoid android to the original, what is the point? Now, the Doves, with their second release, The Last Broadcast, stand challenger to the throne—poised to fill the void for beautifully moaning, ethereal music that Radiohead left bleeding when it stopped playing guitars in 1997 And, despite mounting a valiant attack, The Last Broadcast fails in its effort for conquest. The trio, using everything from the glockenspiel to the fugal horn, impressively attempt to evoke several different soundscapes; however, too many of the songs meld together with their affirmaGRADE: tion-in-the-face-of-despair floatidesperThe Doves are so ness. B+ ate to break their image of being just another mopey British band that on "Words," they end up sounding like Prozacgobbling Stuart Smalley converts when Jimi Goodwin sings, "1 said words they mean nothing/ So you can't hurt me." Nevertheless, when they stop feeding their hunger for overly forced cheeriness, the Doves certainly know how to write a devastating ballad. "M62 Song," an adaptation of a King Crimson tune, stuns with its stripped guitars, and "Friday's Dust" gorgeously emerges in the rubble of a broken love affair. Obviously talented and on the cusp of truly ambitious greatness, The Doves still need to hone their craft if they desire to become "THE NEW RADIOHEAD." Better yet, if they orchestrate more diversified arrangements and learn the subtle art of songwriting on upcoming efforts, future bands may strive to earn the title of "THE NEW DOVES." —Greg Veis

a nice guy, an average guy, a guy just like you. But better. He's Jack Ryan, perennial do-gooder and unintentional American hero extraordinaire, preserving your right to freedom. In The Sum of All Fears, the fourth film adaptation to date of a Tom Clancy novel, Ben Affleck stars as Ryan's third cinematic incarnation, following Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford and surpassing both in good old-fashioned aesthetic appeal. Ryan is a shiny-eyed academic turned-CIA agent —a political virgin—dragged across the river and plunked

woven plots with nary a loose end in sight. It comes as no surprise, then, that the finer points of a densely written Clancy extravaganza pass through the average reader faster than a 'Dillo burrito with extra beans. Hence, the transition from big book to big screen is a traumatic pruning that leaves most Clancy fans a bit bewildered. The intricacy of a fabulously complex plot is smoothed down and greased with special effects to slide down the gullet of a public easily impressed with romantic comedies and slam-bang-where-the-hell's-theplot action flicks. The Sum of All Fears is effective, even good, but falls short of its literary potential, Some have deemed the movie inappropriate, with

LANCE BASS AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS

The

rumors are true. The desperately-ln-need-of-postSoviet-money Russian government has cleared Lance Bass of the pop supergroup 'NSync to be the third space tourist. We at Recess are ecstatic to see Sehor Bass say "Bye, Bye, Bye" to earth. Now, if they could just happen to forget to

bring him back.... Anyway, to help fund this space odyssey, Bass needs to write a diary that will end up becoming the centerpiece for an upcoming TV special entitled "Celebrity Mission: Lance Bass." We have procured some excerpts from this diary, penned during his five-month training for the mission in Star City near Moscow.

At the Crossroads: Mushrooms and Tangerine Dreams Looking to enjoy a romantic night out? Did you just get your paycheck from some joke work-study job?Then travel a couple miles down the road to Chapel Hill's Carolina Crossroads, an unpolished gem nestled within the Carolina Inn. Some quick facts before the meal: First, Executive Chef Brian Stapleton, Triangle Chef of 1999 brought the restaurant its Mobil Travel Guide's Four-Star Award for 2001 and 2002. Second, the decor—composed of warm yellow tones, floral fabric and refined chinaware—accentuate the sense of Southern hospitality that is the restaurant's hallmark. Once the food starts coming, though, leave your inhibitions next to your thriftiness —at home. For the adventurous, Southern fried frog legs on crayfish and

tasso stew is an exciting way to whet the appetite. Deep-frying gives it a crunch without forgoing the succulent and tender meat, which is in perfect partnership with the spicy Cajun stew embedded beneath. The main course offers a generous slice of braised halibut on a bed of morel mushrooms, caramelized pearl onions and orzo pasta. The merlot sauce gives the seared fish skin a forthright intensity that compliments the tender white flesh. Morel mushrooms, a small, sponge-like fungus that is only seasonal for one month in the spring, have a distinct nutty flavor that is worth the 11-month wait. For vegetarians, rosemary-scented spring vegetables in rice paper, served on a bed of lentil organic brown rice and braised beets 'drizzled with lemon vinaigrette, is a worth-

while choice. A mere spoonful of rice, herbs, garlic and lentil glossed with the lemon vinaigrette creates a summer sensation as soon as it hits the palate. Steam and aroma gently permeate through the vegetable wrap, but the abundance of oil leaves unpleasant associations with Chinese egg rolls. Dessert is a large bowl of chilled tangerine soup with an island of chocolate sorbet drifting at the center. More tartness in the citrus soup will allow the sugar-like sweetness to be less imposing on the sorbet, yet the combination still stands as a strong substitute to a heavy cream-based dessert. For those who are ready to splurge, the Carolina Inn undoubtedly stands as one of the best options in the Triangle. —Katy Yung

ADMISSIONS from page 1 (0.3 percent). About 61 percent

of the class listed themselves as white, and almost 6 percent did not select a race when applying. Guttentag added that just 10 years ago, only 23 percent of the admitted class were minorities. Seventy-five ofthe matriculating students are from other countries, which is consistent with recent trends. International Class of 2006 hopefuls were the first eligible to apply for financial aid, and Duke received a record number of applicants from students abroad. “We accepted a significantly stronger [international] group academically,” Guttentag added, “because we had a much

larger and stronger applicant pool The incoming class, which arrives on campus for orientation Aug. 21, has 50 more men than women. Guttentag said that since most freshman classes are al”

most always split evenly, the admissions committee only pays particular attention to the number of women applying and admitted to the Pratt School of Engineering. Women will comprise just under a quarter of the 277 members of the engineering school this year. The East Coast was the big winner geographically, with North Carolina, New York, Florida and Maryland comprising four ofthe top five states. Together with Texas, they will make up 40 percent of the class. Besides Texas, California is the only Western state in the top 10. Guttentag said that although academic statistics, like average SAT score, are not yet available, the new crop of Blue Devils is one of the school’s

strongest ever. “We admitted more students this year who were also admitted to other most selective colleges,” he said. “That makes the competition [for yield] that much tougher.”

department’s expectations and done all that was expected of me, but the provost obviously felt differently and now it’s something that he will have to sort out with his departments.” History department professors said they were especially surprised by the decision because they said the department had unanimously recommended in Biddle’s favor. Like other cases, Biddle’s candidacy then moved on to an academic dean before consideration by the Committee on Appointment, Promotion and Tenure and the provost. Professor of History Alex Roland, a specialist in mil-

garding the case. He declined to comment further, however, citing strict confidentiality policies for personnel decisions, including faculty appointments, promotions and tenure. Another of this spring’s appointment decisions—over which a professor and his lawyer threatened a lawsuit against the University—has now been settled . Stephen Sheehi, visiting assistant professor of the practice of Asian and African languages and literature, declined to comment on the specifics of the settlement, but said he will remain at Duke next year on research leave. Currently on leave, Biddle is serving as a visiting professor at the U.S. Army War College, where she said she will remain through December. She said she does not have plans for afterward. “My own view is to let it be part of the past and look to the future,” Biddle said. “I feel I lived up to all ofthe

itary history, and history department chair John Thompson praised Biddle’s recent book comparing American and British strategic bombing methods. Roland said the publisher, Princeton University Press, is the premiere academic publishing house for history. “I think that her book on strategic bombing... is going to be recognized for many years to come as the best book on that topic,” Roland said. “It surely is the

one I will recommend to anyone who inquires about that topic.” Biddle suggested that a delay in finishing the book may have hurt her tenure candidacy, but she said that writing a comparative work necessarily takes longer than traditional historical research. Christopher Wilkins, Trinity ’O2, also wrote letters to Lange and Keohane and said that regardless ofthe time Biddle took to finish her book, her teaching and service should allow her to stay at the University. However, he expressed doubt about the prospects for changing the criteria for tenure. The University’s Faculty Handbook states that excellent research is the main criterion to win tenure, with good teaching and campus service expected as well. “I think Duke is saying it’s against good teaching, against teachers who take an active interest in their students’ lives,” said Wilkins, who graduated in May with the history department’s award for best senior thesis, which he said Biddle encouraged him to write.

NEW CHILD CARE WEB PAGE LAUNCHED

employees and student parents can now search the web for family child care homes in Durham County, thanks to The Care Connection Web Page created by Staff and Family Programs. This is an option for parents who prefer that their children receive care within a caregiver’s home. One will find extensive information on approximately 80 family child care homes which provide care for infants, young children and before and after school care for school aged children, at www.hr.duke.edu/childcare. This site also provides the caregiver’s location, education and experience, rating on the state’s new 5 Star Rating Scale, fees (updated annually) and bimonthly updates on vacancies. Parents can review the caregiver’s descriptions of their activities and educational philosophy and obtain contact information for caregiver references. These family child care homes have varying fees and hours of operation. Some are open for second and third shifts, while others offer part time care.

A link to the NC Division of Child Development’s web site, www.ncchildcare.net, provides information on child care centers. Listings can be found for all licensed child care centers as well as all registered homes in the state. This state site offers broader information on centers and additional family child care homes and may help to locate care in other nearby counties. For advice on how to find quality child care and on the state regulations, parents can obtain information from the aforementioned state site as well as from the web site of the Child Care Services Association (CCSA), www.childcareservices.org. Information on family child care homes and center-based programs in Durham and Orange Counties will soon be available on the CCSA’s web site. This site will also provide guidance on parenting issues and services. Duke University provides in-person consultation or assistance via phone or email. To schedule an appointment or consultation on child care or other parenting issues, contact Lorna Chafe, Child Care Consultant, at 684-1940 or via email at lornachafe@earthlink.net.

Give Accurate Information A very positive and non-threatening way to approach tough topics is to ask your

kids what they know. You can then begin discussing the subject together without appearing as if you’re interrogating them. Try to emphasize how important correct information is and reinforce your faith and trust in their judgment. Be prepared with in-depth, but simplified, pamphlets and books geared to their age group. Perhaps you can collect these materials together or you can go to community health lectures to learn more together. With both sex and drugs, discuss real life consequences and make sure they understand them. Work with them to anticipate peer pressure situations and figure out what words and phrases to use in order for them to be accepted, yet maintain their individuality.

Encourage Positive Role Models “Monkey see, monkey do!” and this holds particularly true for adolescents. They have an affinity for being associated with the “cool” ones-and quite often the “cool” ones are cigarette smoking or alcohol and drug consuming. Be aware of who your kids emulate. Is your 12-year-old son’s hero a tobacco-chewing baseball player? If so, he may be imitating that behavior, as well as perfecting his curve ball. He needs to know the far-reaching effects of tobacco addiction and the possibility of cancer. Be cautious about your own behaviors. Contradictions in words and actions can blow your credibility and negatively impact your ability to effectively communicate with your child.

U.S. stuns Portugal to open Cup

Behind the great play of Mcßride, America edges a European power By JERE LONGMAN The New York Times

SUWON, South Korea All around the field, Portugal 2 and on the bench, the Americans had disbelief on their faces. Could it really be this easy? Could Portugal, the world’s fifth-ranked soccer team, be this inept in goal? The answer, stunningly, was yes. Splendid at putting the ball in the net, the Portuguese were laughably insufficient at keeping it out. In 36 minutes Wednesday night, the United States produced three times as many goals as it had during the 1998 World Cup. Ever the enabler, Portugal even put a ball into its own net. Even so, the game was full of heart-in-the-throat moments as the Americans appeared to grow physically and emotionally depleted after the early fortune of a 3-0 lead. They put a ball into their own goal as well, and in the end, they did not win as much as they hung on, like a boxer exhausted and on the ropes. Yet, no one will remember the struggle, only the outcome, 3-2, the most significant triumph for the United States in the World Cup since it defeated England in 1950. “We’re there,” said Dr. Robert Contiguglia, the president of the US. Soccer Federation. “We’ve shown we can play with anyone in the world.” USA

Over the next three weeks, The Chronicle will examine the draft status and NBA expectations aft he three men’s basketball stars who have eligible for the NBA Draft.

The charges of assaulting a female that men’s basketball senior Casey Sanders incurred when he grabbed his girlfriend’s arm and threw her against a wall at her Carrboro home in May will be dismissed on the condition that Sanders complies with a list of requirements under the deferred-prosecution agreement. Under the deal, Sanders, who appeared with his lawyer before Chief District Court Judge Joe Buckner, must meets a list of standards—including having his mental disposition assessed by President Emeritus Keith Brodie—over the next six months for the charges to be dismissed. Both Sanders and Brodie declined to comment on the issue. Under the terms of the pact, the Tampa, See SANDERS on page 21

Many other experts agree with Davis—most notably some of the top sports websites that churn out countless numbers of“mock drafts.” Currently, The Sporting News’ website, whose draft has Boozer projected highest, predicts the Phoenix Suns will grab the Juneau, Ak., native the 22nd pick. The site declares that Boozer is “a pure power forward— nothing more, nothing less.” The website www.nbadraft.net asserts thatBoozer will go to the Denver Nuggets with pick No. 25. The Nuggets

With teammates Mike Dunleavy and Jay Williams making rumbles as probable top-five picks, the third Blue Devil to decide to leave school early and test the NBA waters, senior Carlos Boozer, has gotten lost in the mix. Boozer made the decision along with Williams to leave at the beginning of the 2001-2002 season. By doing this, the pair are forgoing their senior seasons and entering the draft at the end of their jun- obtained that draft slot, which should ior year.

Broadway, Kelly chosen in first 5 rounds of draft By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

It looks like Duke will lose another player early to the pros. However, this time the sport is baseball, and the athlete is senior Larry Broadway, who, after being selected in the third round with the No. 77 pick overall by the Montreal Expos of the Major League Baseball Draft Tuesday afternoon, will forgoe his senior season to pursue his dream of playing profes-

sional ball.

Adding to Duke’s draft success, recent alumnus Kevin Kelly was also drafted. The San Francisco Giants snatched Kelly in the fifth round, with the 157th overall pick. “I was pretty sure Lwas going to go

somewhere between the second and fifth rounds,” Broadway said. “Now I’m definitely [planning on leaving early]. This is one thing that I’ve always wanted to do.” Broadway, who hit .323 last season while blasting eight home runs and driving in 53, added that he had no problem being drafted by one of baseball’s worst franchises, the Expos,

adding that he ‘didn’t really care as long as [he] got to play somewhere.” Kelly, the Bine Devils’ only senior last season, hit .350 while tallying nine jacks and 51 RBI. He said that prior to the draft, he had a feeling that he would be picked by the Giants. “I was pretty surprised actually,” said the Brooklawn, N.J., native. “[The Giants] are the team that had shown the most interest in me and pursued me the most over the last couple of weeks. They said they were pretty high on me, but I was surprised to be picked in the fifth round.” The pair will now begin negotiations before they can start playing within their clubs’ organizations. Broadway

has already hired an agent, Duke graduate and former pro baseball player, John Courtright. It is expected that Broadway will sign for somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000. Broadway became the highest picked Blue Devil since Scott Schoeneweis was selected in the third round of the 1996 draft by the thenCalifornia Angels. This marked the first time Duke has ever had two players chosen in the first five rounds.

Blue Devils currently 19th in Sears Director’s Cup North Carolina crushed Duke in the Carlyle Cup after spring rally by Blue Devils failed By PAUL DORAN

Lakers net Game 1 of NBA Finals with win over NJ. By CHRIS SHERIDAN The Associated Press

99 LOS ANGELES What began as a misNets 94 match turned into something mildly intriguing. The Los Angeles Lakers gave everyone a little suspense in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, letting a 23-point lead slip to three in the fourth quarter before they finished off the New Jersey Nets 99-94 Wednesday night. Nobody will remember this one as an NBA classic, especially the underdogs representing the Eastern Conference. The Nets were out of their league in the first 15 minutes of the game, digging themselves a hole that was too deep to climb out of.

Lakers

Shaquille O’Neal was as dominant expected, totaling 36 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks. Kobe Bryant did his thing, too, scoring 22 points with six assists —the biggest ofwhich was his feed to Rick Fox for a layup with 1:11 left that gave Los Angeles a-95-87 lead. For the most part, Los Angeles stayed in control and dictated the style of play, as everyone

keeping the Nets from playing the uptempo game they prefer. The Lakers also were the more aggressive rebounders and the more accurate free throw shooters—two huge intangibles on a night when the Lakers weren’t crisp offensively over the final 2 1/2 quarters. The two-time defending champions wrapped things up by going 6-for-8 from the free throw line over the final two minutes. The Nets had a few chances to hit three-pointers and turn it into a two-point game in the final 30 seconds, but they could not come up with the key buckets. Game 2 is Friday night in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. Jason Kidd had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the first triple-double in the NBA Finals since Charles Barkley did it for Phoenix in 1993. But no one else seemed prepared to assert himself for the Nets, whether it was Kenyon Martin refusing to take wide-open jumpers, Keith Van Horn failing to get going early or Kerry Kittles not doing much of anything all night.

Dunleavy in the top 5? You’ve gotta be kidding It is not surprising that the biggest story of the NBA Draft is speculation about the future of Mike Dunleavy, Jr. News about the Williams formerly known as Jason and Yao “But Can he Play Against Other Athletes?” Ming, was supposed to highlight the draft season—but it was Dunleavy’s surprise announcement that has the sports junkies buzzing. How a lightweight F small forward broke into H the ranks of draft heavyWM weights is truly a mystery. And when it comes Martin to the NBA Draft, mysteries rarely end well. Barna Don’t get me wrong- Tedmicalfou,

I like Mike. Every facet of his game has improved each year. At the same time, some of its aspects have looked somewhere between stagnant and listless—his energy at the end of a game, his drive down the stretch, his consistency. He is not Williams at the free-throwline-at-the-end-of-the-game inconsistent, but for all the impressive numbers, there are some serious doubts about his finishing ability—take one look at how last season came to a close, especially note the games against Indiana and Notre Dame where less complete players had their way with Dunleavy. What is Dunleavy’s name doing ahead of those like Wilcox, Gooden and Butler? All three of them have thrown up equally impressive numbers, play comparable positions and played their respective roles better than Dunleavy during the stretch run. In defense of Dunleavy, testing the waters is a brilliant move. When you have better-than-an-agent working on

your behalf, are able to get an honest answer out of everyone involved in the draft and possess the best back-up plan in the world (another year with the greatest hoops program)—it makes sense to keep everyone guessing, and to use your advantages to secure the most

favorable outcome. But is that outcome going to be the best thing for any of the teams in the top five ofthe lottery? Draft experts across America have Dunleavy departing no lower than fifth. If we are to assume that Dunleavy will stand by his recent suggestion (not that we should given his reneging on the fouryears comments), that he’ll return to college should he go somewhere lower than the top-echelon of the lottery, then the doorway to another year of Dunleavy is

all but shut. None of the teams at the top should have the future small-forward at the top of their list. The draft’s top dogs, the Houston Rockets, went for a younger, with-roomto-grow player last season. Even though it didn’t pan out as well as they had hoped, given their completeness at the backcourt and competency elsewhere, it’s likely that they will make the gamble on Yao Ming. Dunleavy will get no consideration for

this position—the Rockets management has made it clear that they yearn for Yao. The second team in the draft, the npwlaughingstock Chicago Bulls, has got to make Dunleavys—Jr. and Sr.—uneasy. The Bulls picked up a couple of inexperienced and overmatched high schoolers last year, and managed to mismanage the draft, sending their one proven player away on draft night. Weak at every position, Krause may elect to trade down to

land a player from another team along with another lottery pick. Or the Bulls could pluck Dunleavy and force the show-

Memphis ing-their-hand-too-early Grizzlies into trading away a marquee player in order to obtain the rights to Dunleavy. Never put it past Krause to screw with another team. Krause —after the referee’s—is the NBA’s closest thing to a wild card. And given the Bulls’ impotency during the regular season, mucking around on draft day could be the only way the Windy City doormats have any impact on the next few seasons. No. 3 Golden State will not pick Dunleavy—they already have an underperforming, “still-developing” forward. Troy Murphy played all 82 games, and put up miserable numbers down low, but with two more years on his contract, the Warriors need another forward who needs development like they need a kick in the head. The Warriors are shopping for a guard and will land a guard, possibly Williams. If Williams is gone, it will be Dajuan Wagner. This takes us to the fourth pick and the aforementioned Grizzlies. We’ve heard about how Jerry West and Dunleavy Sr. are friends. We know that the Grizzlies would love to reunite Dunleavy with Shane Battier. And we also know that Dunleavy will be playing behind Battier and rookie-of-the-year Pan Gasol. Still, all of this analysis is forgetting that a forward with a lot more strength and a lot more defense (steals and flops do not make a great NBA defensive player—outstanding rebounding does) like Maryland’s Chris Wilcox will do Memphis better. Wilcox is more aggressive than Dunleavy and despite being younger, is a more prepared player

you We around town.

for the physicality of the league. The same can be said of Kansas’ Drew Gooden, or if the Grizzlies want to move Battier to small forward, they should pick an instant-impact player like Connecticut’s Caron Butler. The last of the big five, the Denver Nuggets, is also solid at forward, with Antonio McDyess returning from a season off and the rather proven Juwan Howard. IfButler is around, look for him to get gobbled up here. If not him, then Missouri’s Kareem Rush could make a big move up the draft ladder, or the Nuggets will go for Wilcox for his instant athleticism. When you get past the media hype of three Duke players leaving in the same season, a coach’s kid going in the top five and the usually premature excitement about “developing players,” it becomes clear that the spot for Dunleavy lies somewhere around the bottom of the top ten selections in the draft, if not at the cusp of the lottery. The Clippers—the one team that it is rumored Dunleavy does not want to play for—hold some developing players eager to be traded and two picks in the top twelve. The fear of that franchise should be enough to scare Dunleavy back into school. Dunleavy has suggested that he has no bad options—a chance to fulfill his dream of playing the NBA or a chance to make another run at the title with Duke. Next year, there won’t be a question about the No. 1 selection (or the national player of the year front-runner) if Dunleavy stays in school. If he makes the jump this June, mysteries abound, and none of them have great endings. Martin Barna, Trinity ’O2, is a former editorial page editor of The Chronicle.

Quickly, the players realized this victory will mean nothing if the United States does not advance beyond group play into the knockout phase of soccer’s global championship. Yet, they are also buoyed by the realization that a draw against South Korea on Monday might be sufficient to propel them into the second round, after an opening victory that was as odd as it was unexpected. The United States prevailed without its injured captain, Claudio Reyna, who had a strained thigh muscle, and without its most reliable scorer, Clint Mathis, who has shown insufficient fitness. Six starters had never participated in a World Cup match. What the Americans lacked in experience, they made up for with an attacking mentality, the fast and fearless legs of the youngsters Landon Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley, the adamant defense of Eddie Pope and Tony Sanneh, the professional tranquillity of goalkeeper Brad Friedel, the dangerous head of Brian Mcßride and a heavy dose of the eccentric. “Crazy things happen in football, and this was another one,” said Friedel, who put out several fires with his calm and anticipation when the game became kinetic and threatening. “You just hope the bizarre doesn’t happen to you.” It happened to Portugal in the fourth minute. And kept happening until the soccer world was left incredulous. Goalkeeper Vitor Baia is a legend in his country, but he has suffered two serious knee injuries that shelved him for a year and a half. The time off appeared to have robbed him ofhis instinct and his luck. In the fourth minute, Eamie Stewart lofted a comer kick that Mcßride headed sharply on goal. Baia dived to his left, only to collide with a teammate. John O’Brien pounced and slammed the rebound into an empty net. At Suwon Stadium, whose roof is shaped like a bird’s wings, weirdness was only beginning to take flight.

BOOZER from page 13 ESPN.com’s mock draft has Boozer landing with the Sacramento Kings courtesy of the No. 28 pick, and finally, CNNSI.com does not believe 6-foot-9 forward will go in the first round at all. Despite what the experts say, a lot could change for Boozer prior to draft day. It is possible that he could move significantly up or down depending on his performances in predraft workouts. There is also the Duke factor; the idea that because he played for one of the premier college programs and coaches in the country he will do better than the scouts predict. That same theory landed former men’s basketball star Trajan Langdon with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who selected the Blue Devil with the 13th pick in 1999 draft, much earlier than expected. Another factor that could effect Boozer’s draft position is the decisions of other players, mainly Dunleavy and Stanford’s Casey Jacobsen. If the either of the pair, both of whom are expected to be chosen in the

U.S. CAPTAIN CLAUDIO REYNA jumps on goalie Brad Friedel as the pair celebrates the United States’ 3-2 upset against Portugal. In the 29th minute, Donovan lifted a cross from the right flank that glanced off the head ofthe Portuguese defender Jorge Costa and curled toward the goal. Baia made a rudimentary mistake, failing to protect the near post. All he could do was to punch the ball into the upright and watch futilely as it ricocheted into the net. Earlier, Baia had punched a shot right at Donovan’s feet, and had escaped without giving up a goal. This time he was not so lucky. “It’s almost like it had eyes for the goal,” mused Donovan, who held up his hands on the field as if to say, “Can you believe this?” “I was watching, watching, watching and saying, ‘Oh my God, it’s going in ”’

first round, decide to return to school, it will free up an extra slot higher in the draft. This could give Boozer enough of a cushion that, even if he drops slightly on draft day, he would still be a first rounder—a benefit that carries with it an automatic contract. Regardless, it may ultimately be Boozer’s size that holds him back. Currently, he’s not quite tall enough to play the four position in the NBA, yet he has too much muscle and lacks the jump shooting and ball handling skills to be a force at small for-

ward at the next level. “He’s a tweener,” Davis said. “He’s not tall enough to be a power forward, yet he never really developed a good medium-range jumpshot—that’s going to cost

him in the draft.” Davis added that he thought Boozer’s biggest asset was his physical strength, and that if he worked hard in the NBA he could become a solid “blue-collar type guy” who could play a good ten-plus year career. “I’d be surprised but not shocked if he slipped into the lottery, but I’d also be surprised but not shocked if he fell to the second round,” Davis said.

had fallen, killing at least one person and trapping several people underneath. And while the Red Wings were busy lighting up Patrick Roy more often than Lawrence Taylor does a crack pipe, the phone rang. Kennywood told Children’s Hospital that as many as sixty people might be en route, and the anesthesiologist on call relayed the message to my father, the chief of the department. My dad hung up, looked at me, and said that he could use my help. Five minutes later, we were out the door, leaving Sergei Fedorov and company behind. Arriving at Children’s, I was given a simple task: Get electors on the phone, and get them into the hospital. Within an hour, the anesthesiology workroom was standing room only, as the physicians and nurses braced themselves for the worst. While the Fleet Center crowd watched Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker rain down one brick after another, I stood and watched a doctor probe the wound in a young boy’s abdomen, the result of a tree falling in the wrong place at the wrong time. And while the fans at Joe Louis Arena rose to their feet and cheered as Roy was pulled after giving up his sixth goal of the game, I peered over the shoulder of a plastic surgeon who was ascertaining the best way about repairing another young boy’s face, which had been torn above the lip, allowing one to lift it and peer into his sinuses. As the night wore on, the news grew better. Several other area hospitals had taken in patients, and many of those who came to Children’s were able to be treated in the ER, rather than needing to be brought to the operating room. Returning to the workroom, a quick glance at the computer informed me that the Nets had triumphed, and a short stream of expletives relayed that information to those nearby. Shortly after 11:00, my father informed people that they could return home, thanking them profusely for their willingness to sacrifice their weekend night. Turning to my father, a resident offhandedly replied, “That’s why we’re doctors.” A little while later, my dad and I left to return home. The entire time, those words played back in my mind. People often wonder if athletes view themselves as simply doing a job, wondering if they so much as care whether or not their team wins the game. But Friday night, while millions watched those athletes do their jobs, I watched my father and his colleagues do theirs. And while the jury may still be out on Shaq and Kobe, I can say with certainty that for the doctors and nurses I watched Friday night, it wasn’t simply another day at the office. Watching the game from high atop the Staples Center may be the more enjoyable experience, but hearing that resident’s words made me realize that my Friday night was certainly more meaningful.

NBA FINALS from page 16 Most damaging to the Nets was their free throw shooting as they missed 11 of 26 attempts. Rick Fox added 14 points and Derek Fisher had 13 for the Lakers, whose only deficit was 2-0. The game lacked the level of electricity normally found at an NBA Finals, with the celebrity studded crowd acting as relaxed and casual as the Lakers played. The Nets gave them only scant opportunities to get nervous, pulling within four points midway through the third and within three with 5:26 left. “I think we were kind oflackadaisical,” O’Neal said, summing it up perfectly. The pace of the game changed drastically in the fourth quarter, with fouls whistled on nearly every possession. O’Neal missed two free throws with 6:12 left, and Kidd hit a long two-pointer to pull the Nets to 81-77. O’Neal then made one-of-two, and a dunk by Van Horn off an offensive rebound got New Jersey within three. Fox restored a five-point lead, Van Horn missed a three and O’Neal bulled over Jason Collins for a layup and a seven-point edge with four minutes left. New Jersey was able to get within four points four times after that, but never closer. In the early going, the Nets were as tentative and hesitant as the Lakers were relaxed and confident.

Fla., native must admit his guilt and steer clear of any other offenses, excluding minortraffic violationsfor the duration of the deal. He must also remain in school or find full-time employment, while refraining from harassing, threatening and assaulting any witness, including the victim. Finally, Sanders must obtain a domestic violence, substance abuse and mental health evaluation from Brodie, who is a member of the medical school staff, and comply with any recommend treatment. Sanders was only eligible for this type of agreement—which is typical among first time offenders—because he had never been convicted of a criminal offense, had a previous deferred prosecution or been on probation. The victim consented to the terms of the deal.

THAD PARSONS/THE CHRONICLE

CASEY SANDERS agreed to a deferred-prosecution deal that could eventually result in his charges being dismissed.

Sanders averaged 1.6 points and 1.6 rebounds coming off the bench for the Blue Devils last season. Also Monday, North Carolina men’s basketball player Melvin Scott appeared for the same charges that occurred outside a Chapel Hill nightclub May 2. His case was held over to July 1.

Two bad neighbors

Recently,

Russian President Vladimir Putin aptly compared the current mounting tensions between India and Pakistan to the Cuban missile crisis. Although the two nuclear-armed neighbors have fewer arms than the United States and the Soviet Union did in 1962, the threat of nuclear war should not be underestimated. There are disturbing differences between this conflict and the missile crisis that make the threat of nuclear war more real today than then. First, whereas the United States and Soviet Union co-existed largely because of their equal mutually destructive nuclear capability, there is a serious imbalance of military power on the subcontinent. The fact that India has more nuclear weapons and a superior military could lead Pakistan to launch a preemptive nuclear attack to level the playing field The governments of India and Pakistan are also less stable than those in the United States and the former Soviet Union, and governmental instability makes it more difficult to have an effective nuclear policy. Moreover, nuclear command capabilities in both states are less centralized and with weaker controls than in either Russia or the United States, making a nuclear attack more likely than under a well regulated and carefully protected system. The situation is serious, and the world needs to pay attention and recognize that there is a realistic possibility that nuclear weapons will be used on the subcontinent. Unfortunately, much ofthe conflict in India and Pakistan has passed beneath Americans’ radar screens, not due to a lack of gravity in the situation, but because of American ignorance and inability to recognize and synthesize complex information about international politics. America’s leaders, however, are paying attention to the region. President George W. Bush placed calls Wednesday to India’s Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and to Pakistan’s leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is scheduled to visit the region within the next week. American diplomacy, combined with Russian efforts, is a necessary part of the solution to the complex problems surrounding Kashmir. In the aftermath of Sept. 11, the United States can no longer ignore the subcontinent and must work with both sides to reduce tension and fight terrorism. Musharraf s reign is particularly disturbing, because unlike India’s president, he is part of a military juntaand is not democratically elected. However, he is currently the best option available for the United States; the threat of a coup by radical Muslims requires that the US. continue to back Musharraf. Interestingly, Pakistan and Musharraf support having a vote in Kashmir to allow the people to determine their fate. India, though, hag rejected this proposal and others to jointly patrol the region with Pakistan. However, Pakistan is also wrong to allow continued and repeated attacks by guerrilla groups against Kashmir. In the long run, the solution to the Kashmir problem requires greater freedom and democracy for the region’s people. There should be a plebiscite where residents are given the choice to stay with India, go over to Pakistan, become independent or somehow split up. Although such a vote may be five, 10 or more years in the future, it should be the next step towards a viable solution for the conflict.

Letters to

the editor

Administration missed chance to build a frat row The administration has missed an outstanding opportunity to solve some of its student social and parking prob-

lems with the building of the West-Edens Link. Why not build fraternity houses on Campus Drive? Would it not have been economically feasible for the University to lease the land to the national fraternities who would then build houses on the land? Look at the advantages: Campus social life would have been restored (at least somewhat) by having sufficient space for groups to throw parties. There would be less driving drunk to and from off-

campus parties because students could simply take the bus. Moving fraternities to the houses and putting the rest of the student body on West Campus would have benefited both greeks and non-greeks. The joke known as parking would also have been eased as fraternity

members could have parked at their houses for the same fee as West Campus. The only downsides I can see with this idea is that some of the campus beauty might be compromised and a possibility of an increase in the number of noise violations in the neighborhood. But don’t

off-campus parties have these already? And how many people notice the serene drive from East to West and viceversa on the bus? If the administration wants to remove all fraternities from campus, they should just do it all at once. Squeezing them out one-byone detracts not only from the inept social scene on this campus, but also creates a lack ofrespect for the administration by the students who, in the end, are the cornerstones ofthis University.

Police waste resources by enforcing speed limits Speeding invigorates me. I’m not talking about five, six or seven miles over the speed limit; Fm talking about an average of 15 to 20 miles over the posted limit. Why? I know how to handle my car, and I like to hear her engine purr. Speed limits are set for idiot drivers who should not have licenses or at least should stay in the right-most lane.

On the

“They realized it would not be possible to operate the center. They don’t have the money, they don’t have the manpower and so the fact of the matter is, if the city hadn’t stepped in to operate it, it would not be placed into operation.” Durham Mayor Pro Tempore Lewis Cheek on Calvary Ministries’ inability to run the planned Lyon Park community center (see story, page one).

Getting gym class off the sidelines

*■**

Although physical education needs serious reform, it should be a part of children’s school days

Kids are getting fetter. The culprits are the same ones that plague adults: Sedentary lifestyle and junk food. Given

something I had much control over— you were born with athletic ability or you weren’t, right? I did not consider until recently (while pondering another undeserved Ain a photography class) that many people felt the same way about math, As is the case for most of us at Duke, the academic subjects just came to me. The mixture of dread, boredom and frustration that was for me confined to second period on alternating days characterized most of each day for some kids. What is athletic ability but an intelligence in movement? I just happened to have the kind of intelligence that teachers valued most. I had been a grade snob. In college, I began to value physical fitness as much as intellectual fitness. Thus enlightened, I now agree with Mr. Schwartzenegger. But several points merit notice before we rush to elevate gym to the same level as chemistry. First, most schools lack anything resembling a comprehensive gym curriculum. Learning how to take a derivative in three weeks was area-

Third, and most important, is that in my science class I wasn’t allowed to openly ridicule the kids who didn’t get it. The torment of intellectual weaklings was not teacher-sanctioned or tolerated. In my gym class, I was openly ridiculed for missing the volleyball serve, the W6 UTC tO

My old Kentucky Home

“The strangest thing happened to me the other day!” exclaimed my oldest friend Carrie, while driving through Chapel Hill one evening. “What?” I replied, mildly curious. “I met someone who knew someone in Owensboro that I didn’t know. That’s never hap-

I must admit, I was pretty Jm impressed... impressed that she didM n’t know the person. Until moving to jBl Duke, I had spent the sum total of mKm my years in Kentucky’s third-largest Meg t city, Owensboro, and all but four of . awKf n them with Carrie, a recent University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill gradu-

ate and fellow Kentucky transplant. But the terms “third-largest” and “city” are deceptive. Owensboro, with a population of approximately 55,000, is a sharp drop from the next largest city, Lexington, which boasts a population of approximately 250,000. It’s taken me years to break the habit of looking around me at restaurants just to sure make the object of my gossip’s cousin/sibling/minister wasn’t sitting at the next table because believe me, it’s happened more than once. There aren’t very many secrets in Owensboro. Although 55,000 may not seem like the tiniest of villages, Owensboro possesses some special characteristics. First, we’re one of the largest cities in the country to have no interstate. That’s right, when Mr. Interstate came knockin’, we slammed the door in his face. Second, they attach an elastic band around your waste at birth, and when you wander a bit too far, they snap you right back. I may have been mostly kidding on the second item, but the first played a big role in my perception of the world. Growing up, I would curse the voters in the 1960s who actually said, “No thanks,” when pre-

sented with the opportunity to connect with someplace beyond the cow, tobacco and soybean fields that encircle the city. Maybe then there’d occasionally be new kids in school, or we’d have 9 o’clock movies on weekdays at the cinema eight (which has actually grown four new theaters). I’d curse the lack of “cool” stores in the mall and that I’d have to drive two hours to the nearest airport with direct flights to more than two cities and more than one gate. Worse than that, the roads to Louisville, the closest and largest city in Kentucky, were winding country “highways” that for years stank of raw sewage—l mean the paper mill across the Ohio River in Indiana. To head south to Nashville, Tennessee, I’d pay $1.50 in tolls each way, thanks to the absence ofinterstates. But lately I’ve felt the pangs of the elastic around my waist. I’ve always been proud to be from Owensboro and from Kentucky, and I’ve never denied that both have shaped a lot of who I am. But only lately have I realized the grass isn’t always greener

without all the cow fields. When I first came to Durham and the Triangle four years ago, I looked forward to being a part of a larger, more urban community. I was really excited to be less than 30 minutes from an airport and around the corner from the kind of mall I used to drive two hours to visit. I now had not one, but two, major interstates at my front door. The arts community, despite student complaints, is still more active than anything I have at home. Nationally touring bands were in town every weekend; maybe they weren’t always huge acts all the time, but they weren’t the guy at your church and his bluegrass buddies or your best friend’s brother’s garage band. And hell, I could even watch a movie at midnight on the weekends! Life was good, and I almost immediately considered myself at least something of a Durhamite. Then,

an injury forced me to return home for a year and a half. I honestly thought my life was over and not because of the physical pain. I felt I was taking a step backward, instead of moving forward in my col-

lege identity. But Owensboro was completely different this time. I didn’t mind it so much. In fact, I liked being from the kind of community that was comprised of people who would send me at least two cards a day during my long hospital stays. I kept the stacks of hundreds of cards that prove how caring and involved the people of the same community I once cursed are. At 22, I’m finally beginning to understand the lure of the small-town lifestyle I took for granted, and that’s made me more

confused than ever.

Now when people ask me where I want to live next year/when I grow up/when I have a family, I quickly reply, “A smaller suburban community that has many of the characteristics of my hometown.” I love that I never had to worry about riding my bike around my neighborhood in Owensboro when I was a child. I felt safe in a community that only had one murder every two years and low crime statistics in other categories. My high school had fans whose enthusiasms would rival the zeal of the Cameron Crazies’ standing through the games and donning painted faces and bodies nearly every time out. Even my public education was excellent, and it probably provided more diversity than I’ve seen here. On the other hand, it would be hard for me to live without the interstates and airport. Or the malls. Or the arts and nationally touring bands and midnight movies. As I continue to come to terms with the elastic pulling me back to my old home in Owensboro, I can only hope to find someplace that retains its best qualities, but with all the trappings of modernity.
