Williams, Dunleavy go 2nd, 3rd in draft Boozer falls to 2nd round, heads to Cavs By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

NEW YORK The men’s basketball team wrote another page into the history book last night by becoming only the second school in history to have two of the first three picks in the NBA Draft. The Chicago Bulls took Jay Williams with the No. 2 choice and Golden State selected Mike Dunleavy in the third slot in the draft at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden. The other former Blue Devil in the draft, Carlos Boozer, was chosen in the second round by Cleveland, with the sixth pick in the round and 35th overall. “I just look forward to playing,” said Williams, who recently finished his classes and, assuming he passes, will graduate at the end of Summer Session I. “The whole draft thing has been crazy, finding out where you may go, where you may not go, who’s going to move up in the draft, who’s not. I’m just really happy right now to get to go to a great city like Chicago.” PHOTOS BY DREW KLEIN/THE CHRONICLE Earlier in the night, Yao Ming, a JAY WILLIAMS, MIKE DUNLEAVY AND CARLOS BOOZER (counterclockwise, from top) officially entered the 7-foot-5 center from the Shanghi world of professional basketball in Wednesday night’s NBA Draft. Sharks in the Chinese basketball

league, was the top pick by the Houston Rockets. Ming is the first foreign player selected No. 1. Since the NBA Lottery determined that the pick belonged to Houston, draft watchers have predicted that Ming would occupy the

premier slot. “This is a new start in my basketball life,” Ming said through a translator from China. “I know there will be a lot of difficulties in front of me, but I’m confident that I will learn from the NBA and improve myself and improve Chinese basketball in the future.” After Williams and Dunleavy were drafted, Memphis took Drew Gooden at No. 4, while Denver selected Italian Nikoloz Tskitishvili at No. 5. Cleveland drafted the rights to Dajuan Wagner, New York chose Nene Hilario—a pick that was booed by the hometown crowd—and the Clippers, picking at No. 8, went with Maryland’s Chris Wilcox. Amare Stoudemire going to Phoenix and Caron Bulter heading to Miami rounded out the top-10. See NBA DRAFT on page 9

New SAT could be blessing, curse Duke to cut ties Proposed SAT 1 Changes with Rice Diet By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Armed with number two pencils, College Board officials will vote today on proposed changes to the SAT I, a move meant in part to assuage threats by the University of California system to abandon the nationwide college entrance exam. The proposed changes include eliminating the analogy section in exchange for a critical reading component, adding a 20-minute writing portion and adjusting the math section to include material covered in second-year high school algebra. Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said he mostly welcomed the changes, but stopped short of supporting the elimination of the analogy section. Critics say that part of the examination does not test skills taught in high school, just those taught by SATpreparatory classes. “I Understand why analogies would be dropped, but I find that a little bit unfortunate, because simply dropping them won’t make the test a more valid predictor,” Guttentag said. Guttentag added that the possibility of reading students’ writing samples would be one of the new test’s highlights. College Board is considering sending the samples to universities along

Breaking bonds with a world-renowned and sometimes infamous weightloss center, Medical Center officials confirmed this week that they intend to end their affiliation with the Rice Diet program as of July 31. The diet center has treated 18,000 patients, including many celebrities, since its inception in 1939, but officials said an increasingly distant relationship led to the move to eliminate funding and other connections. Dr. Francis Neelon, associate professor of endocrinology, metabolism and nutrition, who is associated with the program, said that both he and the center’s medical director Dr. Robert Rosati, hope to continue the program independently and make a smooth transition. “It was a bit of a surprise,” he said. “The biggest thing [is that] we want to make sure things keep going exactly as they were before.” The program, founded by the late Dr. Walter Kempner in 1939 and originally designed to treat high blood pressure and kidney disease, brought attention to Durham as a dieting Mecca. Today’s version of the program—located in northwestern Durham—is a strict diet that allows patients to consume between 800 and 1,000 calories per day with little or no sodium.

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed federal fraud charges against WorldCom Wednesday and President George W. Bush vowed to “hold people accountable” for the bookkeeping scandal at the company, the nation’s second-largest long-distance provider and a major carrier of Internet traffic. As the stock market shuddered Wednesday in response to Tuesday night’s disclosure that WorldCom had falsely reported profits for the last five quarters, the Nasdaq exchange suspended trading ofshares in WorldCom and the tracking stock of its MCI unit. And as the value of WorldCom’s corporate bonds plummeted, it became clear that the debt-ridden company would now face tougher negotiations with its bank lenders, making a bankruptcy filing more likely.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and a crucial House committee opened investigations of the company’s accounting methods and the SEC said it would expand its own investigation, which it began in March. And as the company’s work force braced for a wave of pink slips—WorldCom plans to cut 17,000 of its 85,000 employees beginning Friday—some consumer and corporate customers of WorldCom’s MCI long-distance unit were already looking for alternative carriers. Few telecommunications companies looked like havens Wednesday, though, as WorldCom’s bad news helped batter stocks of other carriers, which have already been struggling to emerge from the industry’s long recession. “The industry is reeling from this black mark,” Jose Collazo, chief executive of Infonet, a WorldCom competitor, said in an interview.

day’s vote was the fate of 26 workers who would be laid off under the new contract—an issue that could be resolved before the next vote, scheduled for today. New Era, which supplies licensed apparel to hundreds of universities nationwide—including Duke at one time—negotiated the new contract with the CWA at the beginning of the month. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask and Director of Duke Stores Jim Wilkerson have said the University will not reconsider a contract with New Era until the union contract is ratified. Kathy Ketterer, vice president of Local 14177, said the vote reflected only a minor glitch in efforts to end the strike, which went into effect last July. “We will be meeting to discuss everything again,” Ketterer said. “Hopefully everything will be resolved on Thursday when we can have another vote.” The local union will work with its international body—which consists of some 1,200 local CWA unions across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico—to sort out the details concerning

NEW ERA HATS donned the Duke label until last fall, when labor concerns led the University to not renew its contract with the company. the 26 workers who could lose their jobs. “Many more people will lose their jobs, but the focus is now just on 26 people because the rest were mainly scabs or new hires,” Ketterer said. Because the strike has lasted nearly a year, strikers’ unemployment funds are running out, Ketterer explained. “Technically the 26 will still be laid off, but the [union’s international body] will give them strike funds for the next 12 weeks,” Ketterer said. “We’ve been working all along to find ways to solve the strike, but unfortunately we got the calls saying the international would give funds too late [Monday], after people had already started voting.” New Era officials could not be reached for comment.

In negotiating the contract, the company met the union’s demands—allowing for input for a fair and consistent pay scale, union participation in creating a healthy work environment, senioritybased return to work and shift selection and a severance package for workers who have voluntarily ended employment with the company, according to a CWA release. New Era representatives have denied that external pressure had an effect on negotiations with the union, but Local 14177 credited their success in part to universities dropping the label. Duke, which allowed its licensing contract with New Era to expire last November, was among 12 major universities to do so.

Customized information aids decision

In a study published in July’s American Journal of Public Health, Medical Center researchers have determined an improved method for helping women address whether or not they should undergo hormone replacement therapy. Their data found that individually tailoring educational materials about the practice led to more confident decisions about whether to undergo the procedure, which may reduce the risk of osteoporosis but may also increase the likelihood of breast cancer and heart problems. Study co-authors Colleen Mcßride, associate professor of community and family medicine, and llene Siegler, professor of psychiatry, studied a sample of 581 women, ages 45 to 54 and conducted surveys at one and nine months,

Contraceptive pill not linked to cancer

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that oral contraceptives do not increase the risk of breast cancer. Previous research had been inconclusive on such birth control, which nearly 80 percent of U.S. women have used since World War II ended. The study, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, examined a pool of 9,200 women ages 35 to 64, which allowed researchers to begin studying the pill's effect on women at ages where breast cancer risk is greatest. Most oral contraceptives contain estrogen, which stops the ovaries from releasing eggs, and progestin, which thickens the cervical mucus to prevent sperm passage. •

Researches at International Business Machines have created a data storage technology that lets nearly 200 compact discs of data be stored onto a postagestamp sized surface area. The work, published in the journal lEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, has achieved a storage density of one trillion bits per square inch, 25 times as great as current hard disk drives. The IBM technology takes principles from obsolete punch cards in that both store data in a pattern of holes. The new indentations, however, are half of a billionth of an inch wide.

DEBT can damage brain in rare cases By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

Insect repellents may be essential for summer’s warm weather, but overuse of some of the most popular of these products is creating a buzz among

pharmacologists. Each year, roughly a third ofAmericans use some product containing DEBT, the active ingredient for almost all insect repellents. Although the chemical is safe for the vast majority of users, researchers warn that

using it can cause brain damage in rare cases. In particular, they caution that consumers should avoid using such products in large amounts or in high concentrations for extended periods of time or in combination with prescription drugs. Mohamed Abou Donia, professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, has experimented with DEBT and found that rats, when given large amounts of the repellent, develop serious injury to certain parts of the brain. “We found that the explanation of the damage is that there was nervous cell death fin the area] that controls movement, caused by exposure to DEBT,” Abou Donia said. The areas damaged were the cortex, cerebellum

and hippocampus, causing problems in muscle control and performance of

basic functions. He said such problems are very rare among humans but that people can avoid them even more by using DEBT products for only a week at a time and not concurrent with prescription medications. In addition, Abou Donia said using a repellent with over a 30 percent concentration of DEBT can also put a bug bite target

at risk of greater disorders.

Products containing DEBT are labeled with such information. Other researchers noted that serious treatment is required for humans who

The problem comes when DEET interacts with other chemicals,” said Ernest Hodgson, professor of toxicology at North Carolina State University. “We’ve seen at least some mechanisms by which you might get very serious interactions.” Whether people can safely mix prescriptions with DEET must be decided on an individual basis, he said. Hodgson also noted that products

containing DEET dominate the insect repellent market and that even though such products have the potential for serious danger in some cases, people should use them when outside in highinsect areas.

County approves tax hike, employee raise Durham County set its $558.9 million budget for the 2003 fiscal year, which included a 3.3 percent hike in property taxes, as county commissioners voted 3-2 Monday night. The tax rate increase amounts to 2.4 cents more per $lOO of valuation, pushing the new tax rate to 75.3 cents. That means the owner of a $150,000 home would pay $1,129.50 in county property taxes next year. It comes on the heels of a 2 percent tax raise in the City of Durham’s budget for next year.

Raleigh, Durham battle worsening drought Before last night’s brief rain, Raleigh

Car washing was restricted to 30 gallons at private homes, and restaurants were ordered not to serve water unless a customer asks, among other restrictions. At the current consumption rate, city officials said Durham would run out of water in about three months. Since Oct. 1, Durham has received 15.35 inches of rain or snow in Little River Lake and Lake Michie, the city’s two reservoirs. That compares to 20 inches for the same period in 1933-34, the previous record drought. The average annual rainfall for Durham is 46.83 inches.

Students report prank, leading to drug charge

A Duke police officer responded to 1915 Erwin Rd. in reference to a person wearing a gorilla mask June 23 at 2:30 a.m. Upon arrival, the officer was informed by .an occupant ofthe apartment that the person wearing the mask was actually playing a prank on the friend of someone attending a party at another apartment located in the same building. The occupant said the prank was a result of a previous incident reported in The Chronicle about a subject walking around Central Campus wearing a mask. He said he did not know the identity of the subject. He assisted the officer in locating the female student who was the victim of the prank. She reported that she was walking near the playground behind 1915 Erwin Rd. when a man approached her and pulled the gorilla mask on his face. She said he acted as if he were justplaying around and when she pulled out her cellular phone he ran away. While the officer was speaking to her he could smell an odor consistent with that of marijuana coming from the apartment. A man came to the door and, upon his consent, the officer entered. There were five people in the apartment. Subsequent investigation resulted in the confiscation of less than half an ounce of marijuana, two smoking pipes and a metal tin. The resident, Ori Johanan Benhamou, Trinity ’O2, of 1915 Erwin Rd. apartment F, was charged with possession of marijuana. His court date is July 1. See CRIME on page 8

Local 77 negotiations continue Negotiations between the University and Local 77 continued this week and may not be completed until just before the Sunday night deadline. The current three-year contract for Local 77 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees expires midnight June 30. The Durham union represents about 850 Dining Services employees, groundskeepers, housekeepers and sanitation workers. “If history is a guide, negotiations tend to go down to the wire,” Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Bumess wrote in an e-mail. “We may have something sooner, but I wouldn’t be surprised if these go down to the wire as well.” Neither party has offered much comment on the ongoing negotiations, but prior meetings have included discussion of pay rates, employee attendance policies and employee training and mobility. The June 1999 contract provided for a 3 percent wage hike each year of the agreement and set standards for attendance.

It’s been distant from us for well over a decade.” A story in the Herald-Sun of Durham also quoted an

ministration, construction planning and space allocation at an earlier stage in the planning process than it currently is. “In developing [the strategic plan] Building on Excellence, it became clear that space at Duke is an undermanned resource,” Lange wrote in a e-mail. “[Roberts] will be responsible for managing the pre-approval process for academic space data to ensure there is real need when we expand facilities and that we allocate space effectively.” Roberts has worked in the provost’s office for 15 years, and he said his job will largely remain the same. “They really added a nice beginning word to indicate a somewhat broader set of responsibilities,” he

wanted to stay. Neelon did not know exactly how much the program’s operations cost, but Snyderman said the program was close to a break-even venture. Rosati was on vacation and could, not be reached. Haynes and DUHS Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer William Donelan were both out of town as well and could not be reached for comment. The Rice Diet has always had doubters in the medical community. “A lot of people looked askance at this, and the fact that [Kempner] was able to undo a variably lethal condition was met with great skepticism across the country and here too,” Neelon said. Snyderman said that although the diet works for many people, the extremely intense restrictions ensure a high rate ofrecidivism and that many patients regain the weight they lose while in Durham. The Rice Diet also made negative headlines in the 1990s after former client Sharon Ryan sued both Kempner and the University for sexual abuse. The University and Kempner’s estate formally settled the case in 1998, said. “A lot of my job isn’t going to change, but I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to move into a couple of new areas.” In addition to space planning, Roberts will also oversee collaboration with Student Affairs and maintain various student services in his new role. “He will make student services more one-stop,” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said. “Together we will think about how to make a more seamless operation.” Jim Roberts Roberts has an MBA from the Fuqua School ofBusiness and a doctorate in European history from Stanford University.

"Doing What 1 Can," Saadiq lost three of his brothers and a sister at an early age. Bearing deep emotional scars, he uses this album as an opportunity to grapple with his still-unresolved anguish and somehow stumble upon redemption. On the slinky, 70s bassline-infused track "Tick lock," Saadiq knows that he has spurned a former lover, but instead of reveling in his infidelities, as Nelly might do, he is simply asking for a chance to prove his hard-won maturity.

Saadiq is far from a newcomer to the industry, starting out in the 'Bos as a touring bass player for Prince and Sheila E. As if that weren't sweet enough, he then went on to become Toni from Tony!

Duke officers responded to the jogging trail near the 15-501 exit ramp and N.C. 751 in reference to a 50-year-old man who had collapsed and died while jogging June 22 at 10:32 a.m. A friend of the victim reported that she unsuccessfully performed CPR.

score,” he said. The new system could make the current SAT II Writing test unnecessary. Guttentag said his office would carefully consider whether to receive the essays, but said reading work that is not a “polished piece of prose,” unlike most application essays, would be a great benefit. “It’s not going to completely level the playing field,” Guttentag warned. “Teachers will teach how to write 20-minute essays.” Test prep is one of the main reasons the University of California system called for a re-examination of the test last year and threatened to abandon it for admission. UC officials say preparatory classes like those offered by

Kaplan, the Princeton Review and other companies—as well as by some high schools—teach test-taking skills and tricks for students who can afford the classes. Fair Test, a national organization that says it promotes fair and open testing and has called for the elimination of all testing for college admissions, characterized the proposed changes to the SAT as a marketing ploy, meant to save the more than 175,000 California customers who could be lost if UC abandons the test. The group said the new test would also still be prone to the disadvantages of test prep. “Every known test has proven extremely susceptible to coaching,” FairTest wrote in a recent letter to the College Board. “Students from affluent families can ‘buy’ a leg up that is unavailable to children from less wealthy homes. The result... tilts the playing field against low-income and minority applicants.” FairTest also said the writing section could increase

the exam’s bias against those students whose first language is not standard English, and would not accurately assess a student’s ability to research and write the types of papers required in college. Guttentag said his greatest fear of the proposed changes is the amount of time needed to complete the test. Currently about four hours long, the test could be extended by almost 30 minutes. “Some students may find themselves not being able to do as well as they would have wanted to at the end ofthe test. There could be a fatigue factor,” he said. Duke requires either the SAT I and three SAT II tests, including writing, or the ACT test. About two million high school juniors and seniors take the SAT each year. The changes, if approved, would not go into effect until 2004. Guttentag said that would mean that the Class of 2010 would be the first Duke freshmen to be affected.

Williams hopes to whirl Windy City ’Round the

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle YORK NEW A couple days before the NBA Draft, when Michael Jordan was playing a round of golf at Duke, he happened to run into Jay Williams. Jordan looked at him and immediately congratulat-

ed him on becoming a Chicago Bull. As Williams later noted, the irony of the chance meeting runs deep. Had Williams bolted last year at the end of his sophomore season, he would have likely been the top pick, committing to the Washington Wizards and spending much ofhis rookie season learning under Jordan’s helm. Instead, Williams, who was drafted last night by the Chicago Bulls at the No. 2 pick, stayed in school and won national player of the year honors while guiding Duke to the Sweet 16 last season. “The first thing I thought was, Wow! I get to play in Chicago. I get to play in the footsteps of Michael, Scottie [Pippen] and that team,’” Williams said. Exactly a year later, Williams will try to follow in Jordan’s footsteps and lead Chicago back to greatness. While he may have a long road ahead of him, he should fit in well in the Windy City. Prior to the draft when most experts—including Jordan—were certain he would be picked up by Chicago, Williams had already begun settling into the United Center. He worked out almost exclusively for the red and black and went out with many of the players. As he pointed out after being picked, Williams has See WILLIAMS on page 10

WILLIAMS from page 9 the luxury of learning from veterans like Jalen Rose, while also playing for an emerging young team. “They have a lot of great players and theyre young and theyre very talented,” the New Jersey native said. “They want to win. That’s something I’ve known my whole life, so hopefully we can get going.” The adjustment to the NBA may be difficult for Williams, though. He will be moving from one of the top college programs in the country with a veteran frontcourt to a team that is still very

decision that he says, despite advice from his parents, was ultimately his. “I’m sure we’ll sit down a lot this summer and we’ll talk about how to be professional,” he said. “I think I have an idea about how to be professional, but there are all kinds of things, the ins and outs of the game, on and off the court.” Offthe court, Dunleavy must also focus on completing his degree. Since he, unlike teammates Jay

Williams and Carlos Boozer, had not planned a year in advance to leave school early, Dunleavy still has, according to Krzyzewski, four and a half credits to graduate. Dunleavy said at his press conference after being drafted that it was “never a question” of whether or not he was going to complete

his degree. In the end, he knows school can wait, and admits that all he really wants to do is start playing for the Warriors. “Tell you what, right now, I know [my parents] are 100 percent sure. They absolutely are ecstatic with what I am doing,” Dunleavy said. “It makes me happy, and my whole family is happy about it.”

young—he will have to deal with a team full of big men who were drafted straight out of high school last season. However, Williams’ former coach Mike Krzyzewski believes No. 22 will have no problem adjusting to NBA life. “Jason’s going to be a star,” Krzyzewski said prior to last night. “He’s the best player in the draft.” Although he was not the top pick, experts share Krzyzewski’s opinion that the floor general’s game is tailor-made for a league that focuses mainly on offense. A few critics had questioned his defense and free throw shooting, but those concerns were clearly not

enough to warrant any last-minute

draft weariness.

The Chronicle

DAVIS from page 9

Many had also questioned Williams’ interest in playing in Chicago—Williams admits to being a childhood Knicks fan. But on the floor of Madison Square Garden last night, Williams expressed his enthusiasm for next season. “This is always where I dreamed of playing and it’s kind of weird because I’m going to come back here and play against New York,” he said. “But this is a dream come true. The next dream is to try and become all this other stuff in bas-

There’s no question that the NBA is changing. Traveling is called every time the moon eclipses the sun, players are starting to have more skin with tattoo ink than without and it’s only a matter of time before some junior high kid decides to “test the waters” in the NBA draft.

Fixing financial aid By following DSG’s recommendations, the University makes the college experience more equitable for all

Provost

Peter Lange responded to a Duke Student Government report on financial aid last week, promising that file University will follow the most of the report’s recommendations and eliminate the current car policy and equalize housing costs campus-wide. The push to establish a single housing rate campus-wide, meaning that students who live on Central Campus will pay the same as those who live on West Campus and East Campus, consistent within occupancy level, is the most important aspect of Lange’s decision. Lange promises that some version of standardized housing costs will go into effect in the 2003-2004 academic year. One major cause for the existing socioeconomic divide on campus is the fact that living in Central Campus apartments is significantly cheaper than living in West Campus dorms, creating a monetary incentive for students to move to Central Campus and away from West. Although the plan to have all sophomores live on West Campus will ameliorate some ofthe socioeconomic problems, equalizing housing costs will do far more to give all students equal opportunity to live where they want to live regardless of their financial situation Additionally, since the University is now requiring all sophomores to live on West, it is only fair to equalize housing campuswide so as not to penalize sophomores economically. Equalizing housing costs also promises to reduce misuse and abuse of financial aid. Currently, financial aid is calculated assuming that the student lives in a double on West Campus, meaning that students who live on Central get more financial aid for housing than they actually spend on housing, getting money they should not have. By equalizing housing, this loophole is eliminated. However, Lange’s decision on the car policy is disheartening, because it flies in the face of the very same fairness and equity that the single housing rate aims to establish. The current car policy states that students on financial aid may not bring a car onto campus unless it is worth less than $3,000 or is more than five years old. This policy is sensible because it prevents students from getting financial aid checks when they have a valuable car in their possession that they could sell to cover some of the costs of college (or, even worse, it prevents students from buying a new car after they learn how large their financial aid is). Financial aid students should recognize that sacrifices, such as taking work-study jobs, may be necessary to finance their education. It is encouraging to see that Lange and the rest of the administration are taking DSG seriously as a representative of the student body and also that DSG has managed to produce the financial aid report, which is the organization’s most tangible accomplishment from the last year.

Skills, not certification, should be pay criterion The previous Local 465 contract, signed May 25,1998, had a mutually designed provision for instituting a certification/ license program and a master craftsman program. It was stated that every effort would be made to have these

programs ready for implementation by the second and third year of the contract. While the process has been moving along slowly in the

shops that have licensed trades (i.e., plumbing, steam, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and electrical) there has been no progress on the structural trade shops (e.g., general maintenance, carpentry, paint, masonry) There is so much emphasis on having a license at the

Facilities Management Department that it has become unfair to the trades that have no official license. Skilled craftsmen are becoming second-class citizens simply because they cannot obtain a piece of paper that proves they know what they are doing. We have the skills that are listed in our job descriptions, but because of the lack of a piece of paper we cannot qualify as

Cuban people have A point commonly voiced by those in favor of lifting the U.S. embargo on Cuba is that the United States is the only country still sanctioning the island and, that by opening trade, the U.S. can foster democratic and capitalist principles in the Cuban population. Yet, if this is true, why has the lifting of economic sanctions and deluge of tourism from all the other nations in the world not lifted Cubans

craftsmen.

Our

numerous years of experience in these trades don’t seem to be enough. It is not a license, but the experience that qualifies you to do a job. Skill gained from a lifetime of experience is not only a valid measurement of

not

an employee’s worth to an employer, but should a license be the main criterion that qualifies a person as a

master craftsman? A license does not do the work, but a man with the right skill and experience gets the job done. A license can be used to show a certain level of achievement, but to pay someone more for that piece of paper than for proven skill that has no formal license is” nothing less than discrimination.

nation-states and tourism,

now comprising more than a third of its GNP, should have alleviated some of the strain. Instead, it has only added to the injustices enacted against the Cuban people by Castro’s regime. Take, for example, Castro’s promise to give the island’s beautiful beaches back to the Cuban people. Now, to make way for tourists, Cubans are forbidden from these same beaches. Any foreigner can waltz off the beach and enter a dollar store, stocked with an abundance of

tion of relations with the majority of the world, but only if one defines Cubans as foreign emigrated business owners and a handful

of government elites. The masses have witnessed themselves become secondclass citizens, unable to own land or buy food, luxuries that foreigners enjoy within the same borders, Cuba and Castro have already been given their chance by the rest of the world, and Castro has shown that he will maintain his stranglehold on the Cuban people, regardless of how many democratic ideas foreigners try to force in through trade and tourism.

muscle-building agents are now taking center stage. A more important topic is being ignored: steroid usage by the American public, particularly young males. Survey-based studies conducted by the National Institute of Drug Abuse estimate that 3.5 percent of all 10th graders used steroids in the year 2000, a figure drastically higher than the 2.0 percent in 1998. Recent reports suggest that number continues to rise, as young athletes, particularly male, seek to get bigger and

stronger as fast as they can. What these studies show is that, contrary to public opinion, steroid use is not just reserved for body builders and football players. Instead, high school athletes of all varieties are looking to get more muscle mass. The muscle is not simply to play better. They want to look good too. Over the past two decades, steroids have been on the extreme end ofthe athletic supplement spectrum. Ever since doctors in the 1980s warned against steroid use and its harsh side effects, steroids have been marginalized as dangerous drugs that could ultimately cause one’s premature death. In 1990, Congress amended the Controlled Substances Act to include steroids, making their possession punishable by imprisonment. During the next decade, every good boy and girl in middle school health class learned that about ’roid rage and were

instructed about steroids’ perilous health effects, particularly such severe repercussions like impotency, premature death via cancers and organ failure. Although still taught in schools, this message is losing its effect for one principle reason: the neec! or younS males to become better looking and more athletic. For most of my high school years, I was a pretty mediocre athlete. I had a relasuccessful stint with football at the junior varsity level, but I declined to play varsity football because I was too small to start. I didn’t, however, stop focusing on becoming bigger and stronger. After I stopped playing football, I still hated my appearance. I was too small, too flabby, The only muscle-building substances I took were protein powders and creatine. I never even considered taking steroids

because of their horrible reputation. Times are changing, however, as is steroids’ reputation. More and more studies are finding that an adult male, if educated and scrupulous in his consumption, can actually utilize steroids with minimal side effects while benefiting in the form of increased muscle mass. Books such Anabolics 2002 or The Steroid Bible teach how to cycle with combinations of steroids and how to maximize muscle gain with only limited side effects, for example acne and higher cholesterol, While many of these studies’ findings are the subject to debate and some come from very disreputable sources, their effect has nonetheless been to dramatically alter the attitudes of today’s male, Recent interviews with professional ath-

seek bigger and leaner bodies. Haunted by memories of failing to make the team or failing to get the girl, a lot of guys are hitting the gym and consuming all kinds of supplements in an effort to get bigger and stronger. I am part of the above demographic. Having arrived on campus as a 155-pound freshman, I enter my senior year 25 pounds heavier. lam fully twice as strong as I was three years ago. I’ve never really been tempted to take steroids, mainly because I’ve been suecessful gaining bulk without consuming anything more dangerous than a protein shake. It took a hell of a lot of effort though. Working out regularly for three long years hurts. I sit and wonder whether if I were 16 years old and 155 pounds in 2002 steroids might seriously interest me. As most of America now knows, today’s youth are willing to absorb a lot of pain and discomfort in order to achieve a better body.

I stopped taking creatine because of its main side-effect, severe cramping, If I didn’t drink enough water before I went to bed, I would wake up writhing in agony with my calf muscle seemingly glued to my hamstring. I was willing to endure the cramps for a full year, however, and I halted my usage mainly because I read studies that questioned creatine’s effectiveness, not because of the cramping. Because steroids are so commonly linked to sports-related scandals and unfair performance enhancement, most people forget that it is only because of their health risks that steroids are illegal. The performance-enhancement part doesn’t bother the average consumer, it appeals to him.

The lessons from going home again ping money.

This is all a big mistake. Really, I’m supposed to be rocking the summer. I’ve pictured it since spring: my Manolo Blahniks pounding Seventh Avenue pavement, me and my new blonde . streaks streaking through the wind. I was going to make it after all. I was gonna do it my way. This summer, I would take Manhattan.

That is, until Manhattan took me,

and my budget, and laughed us all the way back home, “Oh you poor Faran thing,” soothes an Upper East Side friend into her Nokia. “I can’t believe Krentcil you won’t be here. And I had this guy I wanted you to meet....” As she ticks off the usual suspects of smart, funny and loaded, I catch my mother stretching in the other room. Once she was a dancer, and she still uses the dining room table as her barre. I used to hate it when my mom danced in our kitchen. “Can’t you be normal?” my seventh-grade self would grumble while watching My So Called Life. Back then it felt weird, but now my Capezio-clad mom looked kind of great. Not nearly as great as a Madison Avenue apartment, but heartening nonetheless. I was so engrossed in my mom’s movement that I totally forgot the girl at the other end of my phone. “And yesterday? He wore this Ben Sherman suit from Barney’s.” Apparently she hadn’t forgotten me. “Listen,” I said listlessly, “don’t worry about me living here. Really, I think I’ll be fine.” The truth is, I didn’t think I’d be fine, but I was willing to give it my best shot. For those of us moving home this summer, and that seems like most of us, the season of internships and itsy-bitsy bikinis may be more than we bargained for. Sure, we’re the kids with free rent, free food, and, with a little strategic pouting, extra shop«

But then there are those awkward

moments that make a sweltering summer on Central feel like paradise. It’s uncomfortable to doze in our childhood beds, and it’s virtually impossible to sleep between Rainbow Brite sheets with someone else between them, too. I never understood those people who liked having sex in their old rooms. Personally, the thought of snuggling up to a guy in the space where I once sucked a pacifier is beyond revolting. It’s just plain “ew, gross.” Living at home is all about the trade-offs: We give up our privacy in exchange for a home cooked meal, and switch an all-night frat party for a late-night freezer raid. But along with the smaller swaps, we’re switching something much more special, and sometimes much more scary. By crashing on the family

couch all summer, we’re turning in our worn-out memories for a new reality check that we may not be able to take. College kids living at home are a lot like adults watching Disney movies. All of a sudden, we notice sophisticated jokes, subtle grown-up references and... wait a second, is that S-E-X spelled' out in the clouds above Simba? Sending ourselves back to our roots makes us notice things that we didn’t understand as kids and things that we acutely understand now. As we backed out of my driveway, a friend of mine told me how much she loved my house. “I always leave laughing,” she said while slipping in a Shakira CD. I used to think that my parents were just goofy. But this summer, I noticed that their sense of humor is what they share in common, and they use it to communicate. It was a cool moment when I realized that my parents aren’t really just Comedy Central wannabes. But some discoveries are less heartening. “My parents hate each other,” said a friend of mine in a gravely voice, hugging himself on his hunter green couch. “I never noticed it until now, but I’m pretty

sure it’s true. They just don’t interact anymore.” I try to smile, but my friend assures me he’s okay. “It’s good,” he says, Peregrino in one hand and X-Box controls in the other. “I’ve learned so much from living home this summer. I’ve learned what I don’t want my marriage to be.” T.S. Eliot wrote that “home is where one starts from.” Sometimes moving home feels like stepping backward. Our independence gets linked to a leash, and looking around at the faded wallpaper, it’s easy to think we’ve tumbled back to 10th grade. But maybe a summer at home can show us just how far we come. I don’t have a curfew anymore, I can drink in'the house and now I finally see my parents as adults instead of caretakers. That lesson is something no internship, or West Village walk-up, could ever teach me, and something tells me it’s paramount in that little black book of things I should have learned sooner. Last weekend I crashed with some friends in Manhattan. I wielded my MetroCard like a native and bar-hopped with the best of the NYU crew. Late one night I sat up with them, picking at a cake as they picked apart my life. “I am so sorry you’re living at home,” a lighting designer moaned, pouring me a cup of Earl Grey. I took the tea, but not the sympathy. “Don’t be sorry,” I said. “I’m doing great.” The next day, my Manolos pounded Seventh Avenue pavement. I looked down the crowded street and saw my future life stretched across New York City. We’ll always have Manhattan, or Chicago, or Los Angeles, and the rest of our grown-up selves to enjoy them. Maybe this summer those of us who are homeward bound can enjoy something totally unex-

pected instead.
