THE INDEPENDENT DAILY AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

� Although the Class of 2006 will spend three-fourths of their Duke careers abiding by the new Community Standard, freshmen signed the current Honor Code Thursday. By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Although the scene outside freshman convocation Thursday much resembled those of past years, the Class of2oo6’s signing ofthe Honor Code on the Chapel Quadrangle had a hint of irony this year. By next fall, the Honor Code will be abandoned in exchange for the new Community Standard, a policy that bridges both social and academic integrity. The University decided to use this academic year as an education and training period for students, faculty and administrators to become comfortable with the new standard. “Anytime you have something new, there is a transition between the old and the new and we didn’t feel we could make that transition abruptly,” said Vice Provost for Academic and Administrative Services Judith Ruderman, who chaired the Academic Integrity Council that created the new Community Standard. One of the major changes under the new policy will be the requirement that a student who reports another’s academic dishonesty must also provide his or her own name. Ruderman said the AIC recently decided not to mandate that these students appear as witnesses in subsequent judiciary hearings, a move that she said somewhat weakens the policy. Freshmen who signed the Honor Code Thursday said they were unaware of the new Community Standard and thought it was strange that, in only a year, integriSee HONOR CODE on page 14

SIGMA NU and DELTA SIGMA PHI FRATERNITIES will be neighbors in Kilgo Quadrangle, where they will share a commons room. Most selective groups have moved in this year’s residential life shuffle.

Selectives react to new homes By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Even seniors will feel the freshman rush of excitement this year as they return to campus. Why? Many of them will be finding their way in a new world too. Over the summer, the University moved some selective living groups to make way for an independent corridor on Main West Quadrangle. As a result, 24 of the 26 selective groups moved to new locations on West. “It’s always hard when we make changes, particularly on West Campus, where things have been

stagnant for a while,” said Todd Adams, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. When the University chose new locations for selective groups last November, 11 received their top choices, but another 11 received housing that was not within their top three preferences. Drawing the most attention was the selective house grouping in Kilgo Quadrangle. Home to Brownstone, Delta Sigma Phi fraternity and Sigma Nu fraternity, Kilgo will cultivate what some are calling the residential plan’s social experiment. See SELECTIVE HOUSES on page 11

UNC officials look back on Quran controversy

Duke experts respond to UNC; Keohane pens letter of support

By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

In the wake of a lawsuit challenge, legislative action and fevered controversy, discussions ofthe summer reading assignment Approaching the Qur’an proceeded calmly this week among freshmen at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. All first-year UNC students were required to read the book, by Haverford College professor Michael Sells, which presents an English translation of some of the Islamic holy text’s main passages. But to some, the assignment looked like religious indoctrination. In July, three anonymous UNC freshmen and two taxpayer members of the Family Policy Network, a Virginia-based conservative Christian group, sued the university. And on Aug. 12, the state House approved a budget that included an amendment to cut public funding for the reading program, which costs the university about $15,000. Carlton Tilley, a US. District Court judge, refused last Thursday to block the program, but the assignment remains controversial. Monday’s discussions were a great success, said UNC Provost Robert Shelton. “What I wish is that some of the critics had an opportunity to sit in and see what a real academic exchange of ideas is,” he said. “Nobody was converting anybody.” Earlier this week, UNO’s Board of Governors failed to See QURAN AT UNC on page 10

Duke, no stranger to the national spotlight, stepped back from the stage this month as its nearest colleague, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, became a lightning rod in a national brouhaha over its decision to have incoming freshmen read annotated passages from the Quran. Duke professors are nearly unanimous in their support for UNC, but disagree on which issue is most central—including the nature of academic freedom at publicly funded universities, the separation of church and state, Western awareness of Islam and the role of higher education itself in American society. In a letter to Sue Estroff, chair of UNC’s Faculty Council, Duke President Nan Keohane pledged her support for the school’s steadfast adherence to aca-

demic freedom. “Not the least of [our values] is the visible and historic

national leadership our institutions have provided in support of academic freedom and of the essential right—indeed the duty—of our faculty and students to engage in thoughtful inquiry and robust debate about all kinds of issues, even the most controversial,” Keohane wrote.

Court rejects FBI wiretap requests The ruling suggests the FBI provided misleading documents in over 75 cases By PHILIP SHENON

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The nation’s secret intelligence court has identifled more than 75 cases in which it says it was misled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in documents in which the bureau attempted to justify its need for wiretaps and other electronic surveillance, according to the first ruling released publicly by the court. The opinion by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which was issued in May but made public yesterday, is stinging in its criticism of the FBI and the Justice Department, which the court suggested had

attempted to defy the will of Congress by allowing intelligence material to be shared freely with criminal investigators. In its opinion, the court rejected a secret request made by the Justice Department earlier this year to allow for broader cooperation and evidence-sharing between countermtelligence investigators and criminal

prosecutors. The court found that the request was “not reasonably designed” to safeguard the privacy of Americans, The court generally operates in secret and is responsible for approving warrants to eavesdrop on people suspected of espionage or terrorism

The opinion may be important in documenting why the FBI was hesitant last summer to seek court authority for permission to search the computer and other personal belongings of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person yet charged in the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Moussaoui was arrested in Minnesota in August, and FBI officials have acknowledged that their failure to investigate him more fully was among the intelligence mistakes that allowed the Sept. 11 hijackers to operate in the United States undetected in the weeks before the attacks.

Bush announces 178 tariff exemptions By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

The administration of President WASHINGTON George W. Bush, seeking to avert a global trade war over steel, announced 178 exemptions yesterday to high tariffs the president had imposed in March to protect the battered domestic industry. The latest exemptions, by far the largest granted, bring the amount of steel excluded from the high tariffs to 3.2 million metric tons, nearly a quarter of the 13.1 million metric tons of foreign steel covered by the origi-

nal order. U.S. steel companies accused the administration of buckling to foreign pressure and reneging on a campaign promise to do a better job than the Bill Clinton administration in protecting American jobs. “Little by little, the [original order] is being gutted,” said

Tim Roberts, a spokesperson for WCI Steel in Warren, Ohio. The United Steelworkers of America expressed disappointment with the decision, which union president Leo

Gerard said significantly undermined the administration’s pledge to help an industry that has seen 35 companies declare bankruptcy and 50,000 jobs disappear

since 1998. “The administration cannot give with one hand while taking it away with another,” Girard said. “It leads to a steel trade policy of confusion.” Bush’s decision in March to grant broad protective tariffs ranging as high as 30 percent for a period of three years grew out of promises he and running mate Dick Cheney made during the 2000 presidential campaign to steel workers, saying that a Republican administration See STEEL on page 23

Keohane greets freshman class By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

In her convocation address to the Class 0f2006, President Nan Keohane called on two unique metaphors to stress the importance of character and diversity. She invoked the wisdom of Charles Reade, a 19thcentury novelist who said, “Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit, and you reap a character. Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.” The act of sowing, she said, is akin to a college education. Both involve taking a leap of faith that the seeds planted now will blossom and serve in the future. Keohane advised students to care for their minds, their bodies, their spirits and their senses of beauty by taking time to appreciate and take advantage of their surroundings at the University. In addition to painting a student as a sower, Keohane likened a college education to extreme sports, asking students to take risks in their friendships and to transpire beyond the comfort zone of people with similar backgrounds. “An extreme student would live for the ‘aha’ experience, in or out of the classroom,” she said. A number of freshmen said they found the president’s speech inspirational and even comforting as they come to understand their roles on campus.

JENNY MAO/THE CHRONICLE

As off-campus safety concerns grow, the University is responding with a website to increase students’ awareness of crime in their area. The University has worked with community members to establish a website that displays the amount and types of crime in five neighborhoods surrounding campus, and is working on creating a list of the e-mail addresses ofall students living off-campus so it can immediately notify them when a crime occurs. “The more people have information that can correct myths, the better,” said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “This is definitely to the benefit of students.” According to the website, Trinity Heights seems to have the least crime, while Old West Durham appears to have the most. Susan Kauffman, special assistant to the senior vice president for public affairs, said the site is intended not for students choosing where to live off-campus, but rather for students who already live there. Advertising the website or other similar resources to students who are considering where to move off-campus, however, has not been considered. “It can be helpful mainly for prevention,” she said. “Not so much for students to see, ‘Oh, there were 10 attempted break-ins on this street so I don’t want to five there,’ but just to be aware ofwhat’s going on if they decide to be there.” At least one crime, however, —the alleged sexual assault on Cari Goldman, Trinity ’Ol, last February in Erwin Square Apartments—was omitted from the map. “This map once again proves the University’s primary interest is not student safety but image,” said Goldman, who in an interview this summer said the University needs to provide safety information to its offcampus students. The website is a collaboration ofDurham residents in Partners Against Crime and University volunteers using Durham police records. Co-chair of PAG II Newman Aguiar, a Trinity Heights resident, started the site about three years ago after two rapes took place in his neighborhood. He said he was frustrated that police reports were not easily accessible to the neighborhood. “To me, awareness is the most important part because if we know there is a trend of a certain type of crime going on, I will do my best to adapt my behav-

Junior Elise Law, who lives in Campus Oaks, agreed that the service would be helpful. “It would definitely make me feel more comfortable,” she said. “At least I would be prepared.” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said plans are still in the works for how to advertise the website to students. He said that within the next year he hopes to have a website for all off-campus students, but logistics, like how often to e-mail students, are still undecided.“Historically, if you move off-campus, you were asking for release from Duke’s overview,” Moneta said. “More recently, the attitude has shifted to wanting more help and involvement.” The University’s involvement expanded Aguiar’s initial project, which aimed simply to release crime reports by sorting them by neighborhood and displaying the information on color-coded neighborhood maps. About 400 University-affiliated volunteers have helped with the website, Kauffman said. Kauffman and Newman agreed that, regardless of the neighborhood, off-campus students should meet their neighbors and become involved in the community.

Newly appointed Durham police chief resigns The newly appointed Durham police chief resigned Wednesday afternoon, two weeks before he was to have taken office. Amid impending revelations about his marital history, Gregory Watkins felt it would be in his and Durham’s best interests to resign, City Council member Howard Clement said. Clement said city officials recently were told Watkins, 56, a retired deputy chief in Kansas City, Mo., had been married six times and that one of his ex-wives had filed a restraining order against him. He was ordered to have no contact with her and to stay away from her home. “It is unfortunate, but I believe his resignation is in the best interest of Mr. Watkins, the police department and the citizens of Durham,” City Manager Marcia Conner said in a statement. Oldani Group, an executive search firm, conducted the search on the city’s behalf. City government officials are now reviewing the parameters of the background checks and the information conveyed to the city, Conner said. Some police officers expressed regret that interim Chief Steven Chalmers had not been selected. Clement shared this sentiment, but did not fault Conner. “I’m unhappy that [Chalmers] is out of the race,” he said. “But I respect [Conner’s] decision.” Clement said the selection of a new chief now lies in the hands of the city manager and that he has faith in her ability to do so.

Fragile X Syndrome is the most common inherited cause of mental retardation. The syndrome affects 50,000 people nationwide and cannot be cured, but many parents said they wish they had been told about it before having more children. In a survey of 140 families with a Fragile X child, 40 percent of parents had given birth to additional children before they learned they were carrying the mutation, which occurs on the X chromosome and disrupts production of a protein important for the brain’s reasoning skills. About one in 4,000 boys is bom with Fragile X. Girls are many times more likely to carry the mutation, about one in 269, but not all display symptoms because women have two X chromosomes while men have one.

Durham officials eyeing the city’s receding reservoirs were pleased to learn that they soon may be able to tap into a supplemental source of water. A former rock quarry in northern Durham has for many years been mentioned as a possible new city reservoir. Engineering studies have concluded that the old Nello Teer quarry, owned since the 1980s by Hanson Aggregates, could be converted from a source of rock to one of water. Besides the long-term development of the quarry as a reservoir, city officials are considering a quicker fix: piping the water that already has accumulated there, an estimated 200 million to 350 million gallons, officials said. Along with water.from Jordan Lake, the Hanson quarry could quench Durham’s thirst well after it outstrips the two present city reservoirs at Lake Michie and Little River Reservoir—until 2020 or beyond, officials added.

Health officials credited public awareness for the findings in dead birds. Officials added that the virus usually causes only mild disease in humans; the most serious problems in the United States have been among the elderly. North Carolina has never had a human case of West Nile virus, which is not known to pass from birds to humans. Instead, it is transmitted to humans when a mosquito bites an infected bird and then bites a human. The virus may cause flu-like symptoms in humans, such as headaches, swollen glands, muscle

Trent residents move in despite fanfare on West By NADINE OOSMANALLY The Chronicle

Formerly the most despised undergraduate housing

on campus, Trent Drive Hall has suddenly become a more attractive place to live, several of the dormitory’s new residents said this week. With the opening of the new West-Edens Link on West Campus, there was less need for the space in Trent, so beginning this fall administrators decided to offer double rooms in Trent as singles, but at the price of double rooms. A total of 67 took up the offer. “I really like having a big room, and [living with] the block of friends from the past two years,” said junior Laura Melvin, who is living in Trent with 11 other friends. ‘The biggest downside is that it is far away from

everything else.”

Many upperclass students decided to block in large groups in Trent because they were concerned that they would not be able to obtain housing on West. With all sophomores required to live on West now as part of the new residential life structure, juniors and seniors in particular were forced to seek new options. “I would have loved to live on West, but with the new housing policy I didn’t feel like we would end up with anything on West,” Melvin said. In addition, three unoccupied rooms were allotted to blocks of six or more for use as commons rooms, said Bill Burig, assistant dean of student development. Since all of the rooms are singles, the dorm is less crowded, with this year’s residents just a fraction of the nearly 300 students who lived there last year. Some students fear that will detract from a sense of community in

the dorm, while others feel there will be more open doors because all the rooms are singles. The small population of the dorm was also attractive to several students due to parking concerns. Students viewed the Trent parking lot as more convenient and safer than West’s Blue Zone. “Parking on West was inconvenient, and I couldn’t use my car at night because it was unsafe to walk to my car at night,” junior Amy Park said Some students, however, expressed concern about the loss of parking spaces in the Trent lot to Medical Center employees. The University decreased the number of spaces available to students when the number of students residing in the dorm decreased. “I am a little worried. I don’t see how the lot is going to accommodate everyone,” junior Chris Garson said.

West Campus residents greeted with new lofts By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

Sounds of hammering, piles of sawdust and heaps of rejected bed frames greeted students entering dormitories this week. This year, the University sup-

plied all West Campus rooms with “semiloft” furniture, which includes smaller dresser units that can easily fit under new height-adjustable beds. Many semi-lofted beds did not stay in their new homes for long as students replaced them with traditional lofts, which they say offer more space and comfort. “If we loft the beds ourselves, we can fit a couch or a futon under them. [The semi-lofted beds] only offer a few extra

feet,” sophomore David Heaney said. Other students complained that because the new dressers were designed to fit under the semi-lofts, the top surfaces, previously used to display photos and accessories, are no longer accessible. A significant proportion of students agreed that the smaller lofts do not provide the extra space they had counted on as they packed their cars and organized their rooms. “I had planned on building my own

K. Powe is one of four elementary schools that has become a partner with Duke University as a result of the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative. The NPI was developed in 1996 to coordinate Duke’s often inconsistent efforts in Durham. The initiative now streamlines Duke’s aid and advice through one main office and focuses on 12 nearby neighborhoods and seven schools within the areas closely surrounding the University. Last year, Duke helped coordinate with local museums to help build a science courtyard at E.K. Powe, which is located on Ninth Street.

Two of the classes with whom King visited had been studying his father’s work. He received letters from fifth graders who explained what they were doing to make the world a better place. Before visiting E. K. Powe, King participated in the Coach K and Fuqua School of Business’ Conference on Leadership as one of 12 speakers. He spoke on a panel focusing on corporate responsibility. John Burness, who oversees the Office of Community Affairs, led King on a tour of affordable housing in Walltown and the West End. “As a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Mr. King is very passionate about affordable housing, and he wanted to see what Durham was doing in the area,” Burness said. “His visit to E. K. Powe was mostly to let him see what Duke had been involved in. Seeing the school made him feel good, like Durham was making real progress.”

Keohane urges ‘extreme’ learning

CONVOCATION f om ,

“Her speech really gave good insight into what it means to be here at Duke,” said Matt Heilman, who hails from Burke, Va. Derek Hower, a native of Sandusky, Ohio, said the Chapel left him with aweinspired goosebumps, but that Keohane’s speech took some of the edge off the beginning of classes. “The whole ‘extreme’ thing makes it seem like it’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. “I’m really excited to start now.” Supplementing Keohane’s emphasis on character, Honor Council Chair Sandeep Kishore spoke on the significance ofthe Undergraduate Honor Code. “You have been granted a privilege that so many covet and desire,” Kishore said. “To succumb to the temptation of taking the easy way out—to cheat—will cheapen your position in the Duke community and demoralize all of our common efforts.” Baltimore native Andrew Todd said he was impressed by the passion with which Kishore spoke of the Honor Code and that he had no objections to being channeled through to the signing table immediately following the ceremony. Amelia Lombard ofPalo Alto, Calif, and Joy Grant of Fairfield, lowa, felt

differently.

“I would have signed it anyway, but it seemed a little bit forced,” Lombard said. Grant agreed, noting that the wording on the pamphlet distributed before the ceremony “invited” students to sign the Honor Code. “But when we got outside it was like, ‘Have you signed yet? No? Then go there. Sign,’” she said. Heilman said that although he did not believe the University should ever make signing the Honor Code a mandatory part of orientation, directing people toward the table after Kishore’s speech could help accomplish the code’s intended goal. “Just having the table right there for signing probably led people at least to read the Honor Code,” Heilman said. “People want to know what they’re putting their signatures to.”

The following are excerpts from Nan Keohane’s convocation speech Thursday: I know that the sentiments of the students and the parents are somewhat divergent at this point. As students, you are eager to get on with your life at Duke. You are somewhat bewildered by all the things that are new, picking up the first cues that have come your way about what you’re expected to do here and what everybody else is doing; and you are just as glad that the ‘rents are about to take off and let you concentrate on the business at hand. As parents, many of you are experiencing some separation anxiety, it’s hard to leave your child in a new place and turn the car around and face towards home without them; and you may be inclined to linger for awhile to make sure they have absolutely the right bed sheets and laundry hamper and that everything is in place in the new room they will call home.... Let me pose this morning two specific, contrasting images to help bring into focus the way you will spend your time here at Duke.

First, The Sower. On the East Campus lawn, there is a life-sized bronze statue of a farmer scattering seed. As you know if you have read carefully the send-home edition of The Chronicle, the Sower is an anonymous but powerful-looking 17th-century peasant sculpted by German artist Stephan Walter. He has stood on that same spot since 1914—a gift from James B. Duke, who later signed the original indenture establishing Duke University. When you see the statue, many of you may think first of Johnny Appleseed, a legendary figure striding through the fields and woods of the early frontiers of this country, planting apple trees he would never see in blossom, moving ever onwards, westward towards new lands. The Sower also evokes the agrarian myth that Thomas Jefferson embraced and that remained dear to the Duke family and others who had made their living from agriculture—in their case, tobacco—the notion that contact with

nature and the earth ennobled the soul. We don’t know if those allusions were in the artist’s mind, but we do know how students of Trinity College and the

Woman’s College in succeeding years turned the statue to a practical use. It was said that if a Duke woman student met her date by the statue and the young man placed a penny in The Sower’s outstretched hand, only to find the coin missing when they returned from a walk, the young man could claim a kiss. An interesting entrepreneurial approach to romance. The price had doubled to two cents by the 1960’5; but nobody seems to need the Sower’s help these days! The Sower will also remind some of you of a parable told by Jesus, a connection which actually was intended by J.B. Duke. A main point ofthe Biblical parable was that sowers cannot control the fate of their seeds, that depends on the condition of the soil, the luck of the draw,

weather and human intervention. A single seed may not look very impressive; yet in a propitious climate, with plenty of water and sunlight, it will provide shade, fruit and beauty. Sowing, like attending college, is an act of faith, and it is all about the future. Henry David Thoreau commented, “Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” A Greek proverb holds that society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in; it means people believe that future generations are worth investing in. Past sowers, like Washington Duke and his two sons, could never know exactly how their educational seedling would develop; they would never live to see how things actually worked out across the centuries. But they had faith that it would be all See KEOHANE SPEECH on page 12

QURAN AT UNC.ro* page 1 pass a resolution in support of academic freedom, prompting outrage among some university officials, including Shelton. The board supported the resolution 18-10, but failed to gain the two-thirds majority necessary for passage. The board’s Committee on Educational Planning, Policies and Programs met yesterday to draft a new resolution, which it will present to the full board at its next meeting Sept. 13. The original resolution’s failure was primarily due to procedural detailsrather than lack of support among board members, chair Bradley Wilson said. “That vote was not a vote on the issue ofacademic freedom—it was a procedural vote,” he said. With the committee’s approval of the new resolution, Wilson added, “Today was the first substantive

vote that the board has taken in a long time and it passed unanimously.” Wilson said he expects the resolution to pass unanimously in September. Dudley Flood, a member of the committee that drafted the resolution, said there is “no question about its passage.” The misunderstanding about the Board of Governors’ position on academic freedom serves as an example of how some say the controversy has been blown out of proportion. “It’s been one of the most overreported, overanalyzed and overstated controversies I’ve seen in a long, long time,” Wilson said. “If we can’t have an open

and informed discussion of controversial issues at a university, just where can we do that?” The UNC administration echoed that concern. “I don’t see a serious threat to academic freedom,” Shelton said. “The people of this state have a whole range of

DUKE RESPONSE from page 1 Bruce Lawrence, Nancy and Jeffrey Marcus Humanities professor of religion, attended Monday’s discussions of the reading selection at UNC, and said he has been disappointed by what he sees as silence from Duke. “My only regret is there hasn’t been more of a response from Duke,” he said. “Other than Nan’s letter, I haven’t seen anything from different quarters at Duke.” Lawrence said the debate is not about academic freedom as much as it is about what Americans can learn about the Islamic faith. He added that because the reading is not being preached by Muslim clerics, but rather examined in an academic light, there is no violation of the freedom of religion. “They had effectively a bunch of educators saying, one year [after Sept. 11], ‘What do we know about Islam?’ And the answer is not a lot,” Lawrence said. William Van Alstyne, William R. and Thomas C. Perkins professor of law, said that freedom of religion and academic freedom are not at all contradictory, point-

The assignment of academically representative materials on Islam, on the Quran or something in particular, is exactly what you’d expect of self-respecting universities.” Michael Munger, chair of the political science department, said UNC has a clear right to assign the reading and that the state legislature has a right to cut funding, but that the more important question is whether their actions are in pursuit of the best interest. “I have some recollection of what it was like to be at the mercy of the legislature,” said Munger, who taught at UNC for seven years. “UNO’s going through difficult budget times, and a lot of people don’t really like UNC professors, and the idea that

Lawrence said he was surprised to see some legislators take such a strong stand against the university, even calling Islam an “enemy religion,” adding that religion is not necessarily wrong, but some people twist religion for their own purposes in ways that are not always consistent with the faith’s teachings. Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe professor of theological ethics at the Divinity School, said that if the reading were based on the Bible, there would have been very little uproar. “They say they’re upset because... the book [omits] the allegedly more militaristic passages of the Quran,” he said. “I think people might get upset if you read them the more militaristic passages’of the Bible.”

missions Christoph Guttentag. “That’s not to say that they’re necessarily wrong, but we can’t rely on them as accurate indicators of student opinion.” Guttentag conceded, however, that the Princeton Review rankings are not reductive like those of US. News and World Report, which uses weighted statistics to compile top 50 and tiered lists of the nation’s top universities and colleges each fall. Duke was ranked eighth last year in that poll; this year’s rankings are due out Sept. 16. Notwithstanding their misgivings, some of the individual rankings surprised administrators, while others seemed on target. “[The university-city relations ranking] in particular really mystifies me, simply because in my observations and conversations with students I haven’t perceived the sort of tension between the city and the University that that ranking implies,” Guttentag said.

Duke Student Government President Joshua

Jean-Baptiste agreed, noting that a poor off-campus social scene does not necessarily correlate to strained relations. He praised efforts by the entire Duke community to reach out and improve its dy-

namic with Durham. Thompson also pointed to the TA ranking as misleading because TAs are mostly leading discussion sections of large courses, and those who do teach

upper-level courses are teaching in a discipline in which they are working on their dissertations. Duke’s ranking as No. 10 on the list of “jock schools” was called into question by Jean-Baptiste. “Duke’s athletic program is very strong, but [athletic powerhouse] Stanford is not even in the top 20,” he said. “That leads me to question if it is a random selection of students and if it is, how accurate are

the results.” As for the other positive rankings, however, both Guttentag and Jean-Baptiste agreed with Duke’s standing, and both were particularly pleased with the diversity ranking.

“It’s my birthday, fool.” Here’s wishing our fabulous editorial page editor Kenneth Reinker a happy 20th birthday, even if that does defy Malthus’ model of human population.

SELECTIVE HOUSES Members of both Delta Sig and Sigma Nu expressed concerns about sharing one commons room between them, a situation that has spawned the term “Delta Sigma Nu.” “It’s obviously not completely ideal being stacked

with another fraternity, particularly one that we

compete in rush with,” Sigma Nu senior and Interfraternity Council President Jeremy Morgan said. “But if we learn how to live well together, it could actually be a plus.” The two fraternities, both of whom have been socially suspended at different times in the last few years and whose nationals are scheduled to go dry, share Kilgo with Brownstone, a group that lived next door to Phi Kappa Psi fraternity until the fraternity lost its housing in 2001. “We’ll see when the belligerence ensues,” Delta Sig sophomore Robbie Gregg said. “Hopefully, we won’t scare the living s-t out of [Brownstone residents].” Brownstone senior Annie Way did not seem worried about the situation. “My sophomore year, we were next to a fraternity and it didn’t bother me,” she said. “I’m more concerned about the noise from the dumpsters [from construction outside Kilgo]

than from fraternities.” Adams said locations were assigned based on group preferences and size and that Delta Sig and Sigma Nu were not placed next to Brownstone to condemn them to Phi Psi’s fate. “That’s just how it shook up,” Adams said. “The fact that they ended up together might be somewhat ironic, but I think they will all get along.” Partially to facilitate interaction among selective groups that share quads, Student Affairs created new resident coordinator positions, said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. However, the Kilgo RC quit before the year began and has been replaced by Deb Loßiondo, assistant dean ofresidential life. Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity is one of two groups that stayed in the same location as last year, although its space configuration has changed somewhat. “People know where we are, and we are used to the rooms, so that’s nice,” PiKA junior Manny Stock-

man said. Their neighbor has changed from Kappa Alpha fraternity to Wayne Manor. PiKA junior Scott Van Brunt said he liked not having another fraternity next door. KA moved to Delta Sig’s old section in Few Quadrangle. KA junior Gillis Schwartz said he liked the new dorm’s bigger rooms and proximity to the WestEdens Link diner, but would have preferred to stay in the group’s former location. And although some groups, like the all-female Cleland selective group, complained about being relocated to Edens Quadrangle, Kappa Sigma fraternity requested to be reassigned back to Edens after initially being assigned to Few Quad. Kappa Sig brothers, who ended up just moving across the Edens yard, had similar sentiments to

those of KA: They would have preferred to stay put but are pleased with their new location. “A house is just made of bricks and bricks are just made of clay,” Kappa Sig junior Mark Boyd said. It s the people in the dorm who really bond life.

KEOHANE SPEECH right, that it would be worth their time and money and energy. You’ll see their statues, too—the patriarch Wash Duke welcomes you to East Campus from his armchair, and B.N. Duke strolls thoughtfully in front of Baldwin Auditorium; J.B. himself stands reflectively with his omnipresent cigar right in front of this Chapel, looking out over the great university that has grown up in the piney woods he bought to build in. All the Dukes had great faith in education. In the founding indenture for the University, J. B. Duke stipulated that great care and discrimination be exercised in admitting as students only those whose previous

records show a character, determination and application evincing a wholesome and real ambition for life. And here you are. “Character,” I know, is an old-fashioned term, but still a useful one. The word may well have come up in your reflections and conversations about “The Palace Thief,” and you will hear it again with reference to the new community standard adopted by the Duke Student Government. Character does not entail subscribing to a particular set of beliefs, but it does mean taking responsibility for what you know; for considering how cheating hurts; for considering why honor matters; for remembering to respect yourself, as well as respecting others. “Sow an act, and you reap a habit,” said Charles Reade. “Sow a habit, and you reap a character. Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.” Please try not to lose sight of what Mr. Hundert calls “conviction,” for your destiny will depend on it, and so will the fate of the world you will lead. The message about character is especially important today, when the lack of character on the part of some leaders has created great hardship for many people and has generated corrosive cynicism in the minds of millions of others. We have living proof that character—honor, truthfulness, integrity, social responsibility—does really matter. So I hope the Sower will be a useful image for you in thinking about your time at Duke. A university education does not,

of course, happen only in the classroom, nor is it a potted plant cultivated and handed to you by someone else. Rather, it sows the seeds for a lifetime of growth, seeds that blossom and flourish as they are needed and as the seasons of your life will call them forth. You will make mistakes, explore the occasional dead end, fall on your face. I read recently about an English professor who had published exciting proof that a certain anonymous poem was actually by Shakespeare, only to have his thesis soundly disproved by other researchers. He said, “No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar.” That’s the true spirit of the intellectual, and it’s worth remembering when you make your own mistakes, which will surely happen, as it does to all of us. I promised you a second image for your education, alongside The Sower. I’m sure many of you are familiar with what’s called “extreme” sport. Extreme athletes chug sugary, hypercaffeinated concoctions with names such as Viper and Red Bull. If he enjoys snowboarding, an extreme snowboarder jumps out of a hovering helicopter onto a waiting Alp which iced over in last night’s storm. If surfing takes her fancy, an extreme surfer waits for a hurricane —[and in North Carolina, I assure you, you are unlikely to have to wait very

Extreme collegians would push boundaries that needed to be pushed, challenging in your face the uncritical deference to any status “

qu0...”

long!] Even on the quads here you can encounter the occasional game of Ultimate Frisbee, which is less dangerous but almost as stimulating. Extreme people love the idea of perpetual motion machines, setting the world record for eating blueberries, and staying up all night talking about the meaning of life. So what would extreme education look like? Impatient and brilliant students would instantly grasp the concept that their most extraordinary professors want

anything other than to have their own ideas lobbed back at them. Challenge and adventure would be watchwords. Extreme collegians would push boundaries that needed to be pushed, challenging in your face the uncritical deference to any status quo. They would tell you that every generation needs a new translation of the Inferno, and then start working on it. They would sign up for a course on a subject they never even heard of a year ago, and paint their face blue and white to attend a basketball game after camping out in a tent for three weeks in January in the snow and mud to get a ticket. An extreme student would live for the “Aha” experience, in or out of the classroom. They would crave hands-on, primary research, and at Duke they would get it. Fortunately, commitment to extreme education is not, as it turns out, incompatible with The Sower’s more organic approach. In fact, they are complementary; and I urge each of you to see yourself in both roles as circumstances change. Be a sower, and be extreme; just don’t interpret the goal of balance as settling for mediocrity... On the extreme side, take risks in your friendships, and learn how other people see the world in order to broaden and refine your own understanding rather than huddling in your comfort zone, spending too much time with folks just like yourself. A university-wide competition called “Beyond the Comfort Zone” will be held next month. It will provide money for residential units to get creative with projects that have to do with forging friendships and building community across racial, religious and gender boundaries. I hope each of you will want to get involved.... Befriend someone with a lot less money than you have, someone from a part of the world you’ve never visited, or someone whose moral and political views are much more conservative or much more liberal. A difference of opinion, said John Milton, is the beginning of wisdom. Take care of your body, too —this sows seeds for your health in the future, even if you engage occasionally in some extreme challenges to yourself!

This has little to do with your career, but provides a double advantage: first, that you will enjoy your own company in solitude, when you choose to be alone or find yourself in circumstances where you are alone. And secondly, you will be a more interesting person for other people to spend time with, so that friends will seek you out for your wit and conversation, not avoid you as an airhead or a pompous bore. So be extreme, not cautious, in your intellectual adventures.... Finally, today, when you get back to East Campus, notice that the Sower does not face toward the other campus buildings. He faces outward toward the city. I like to believe that this siting was done on purpose.... In reality, you will find this place is not so much a desert as a garden, literal and metaphorical, sown by the Duke family and thousands of loyal Duke supporters since, whose ground has been prepared by the love and ambitions and dreams of earner students who were just like you and totally unlike you. Whatever balance of extreme and organic education you strike, it will stretch your mind in ways it has never been stretched before—in ways that will be pleasurable and rewarding to you forever. Members of the Class of 2006... as you pursue extreme education, may you be safe, inspired and absolutely unstoppable. I look forward to sharing this journey with you, and I wish each of you all the best along the way.

WIRE TAPS from page 2 Officials have previously acknowledged that at the time of Moussaoui’s arrest, the FBI was wary of making any surveillance requests to the Washington-based special court after its judges had complained bitterly the year before that they were being seriously misled by the bureau in FBI affidavits requesting surveillance of Hamas, the militant Pales-

tinian group. As a result ofthe complaints, the Justice Department opened an internal investigation of the conduct of senior FBI and Justice Department officials. Department officials said yesterday that the inquiry is still underway and that it could result in disciplinary action. The department also said that it intended to appeal the court’s decision not to grant its request for broader authority to share its secret intelligence information with criminal investigators. It also said that secret appeal papers were filed yesterday with a special three-judge panel that oversees the surveillance court. “We believe this decision unnecessarily narrowed the Patriot Act and limits our ability to fully utilize the authority that Congress provided us,” said Barbara Comstock, the Justice Department spokesperson, referring to the USA Patriot Act, the broad anti-terrorism law that was enacted by Congress after Sept. 11. The act makes it easier for prosecutors to use information gathered from intelligence wiretaps. Justice Department officials also noted that the criticism of the department in the court opinion made public yesterday referred mostly to actions taken by the department and the FBI during the

FISA applications related to major terrorist attacks directed against the United States—the errors related to misstates and omissions of material facts.” In one case, it said, the error appeared in a statement issued by the office of then-FBI Director Louis Freeh in which the bureau said that target of an intelligence eavesdropping request “was not under criminal investigation.” In March 2001, the court said, “the government reported similar misstatements in another series of FISA applications in which there was supposed to be a ‘wall’ between separate intelligence and criminal squads in FBI field offices to screen FISA intercepts, when in fact all of the FBI agents were on the same squad and all of the screening was done by the one supervisor overseeing both investigations.” The location of the squad and the nature ofthe investigation were not described further. Gregory Nojeim, associate director of the American

partment.

In its opinion made public yesterday, the surveillance court documented the “alarming number of instances” during the Clinton administration in which the FBI may have acted improperly. The opinion was part of a package of material presented earlier this week by the court to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is reviewing requests by the Justice Department for even broader investigative powers in the aftermath ofthe Sept. 11 attacks. The committee released the documents yesterday, along with a statement from the panel’s chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who said, “This ray of sunshine from the judicial branch is a remarkable step

forward for constructive oversight.” In weighing eavesdrop requests, the special court, which was created by the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and was recently expanded from seven to 11 members, is responsible for enforcing provisions of the law that limit the sharing of electronic surveillance from intelligence or terrorism cases with criminal investigations; the limitations are designed to uphold the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable search and seizure. Because the standards of evidence required for electronic surveillance are much lower in many intelligence investigations than in criminal investigations, the authors of the 1978 law wanted to prevent the free dissemination of intelligence information to criminal investigators or prosecutors. But in a number of cases, the court said, the FBI and Justice Department had made “erroneous statements” in its eavesdropping applications about “the separation of the overlapping intelligence and criminal investigators and the unauthorized sharing of FISA information with FBI criminal investigators and assistant US. attorneys. “How these misrepresentations occurred remains unexplained to the court,” the special court said. In essence, the court said that the FBI and the Justice Department were in violation of the law by allowing information gathered from intelligence eavesdrops to be used freely in bringing criminal charges, without court review, and that criminal investigators were improperly directing the use of counterintelligence wiretaps. The opinion said that in September 2000, “the government came forward to confess errors in 75

Civil Liberties Union’s national office in Washington, said the court’s opinion was “astounding” in demonstrating that the FBI and the Justice Department has attempted an “end run around the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches. ‘These disclosures couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Department of Justice,” he said. “They’ve just been given vast new intelligence powers and are seeking more. But now it comes to light that over the years they’ve abused the powers that they already had.” James Dempsey, deputy director for the Center for Democracy and Technology, another civil liberties group, said the court was trying to stop a pattern in which FBI agents, fearing that they did not have sufficient evidence for a routine criminal wiretap of a suspect, were citing the counterintelligence laws in conducting their eavesdropping. “The bottom line is that they were coming under FISA because the procedures were looser,” he said.

TWO FRESHMEN sign the Honor Code after the New Student Convocation Thursday afternoon. Although the Honor Code will be in effect this year, the new Community Standard will replace it next year.

HONOR CODE from page 1 ty on campus would be governed by a new policy. Most, however, said they would take the transition in stride. “Things change all the time,” Eric Tong said. “It’s a good thing to update the honor code. Academic integrity is a very important part of the University’s character.” Luke Wilkinson said that if freshmen are willing to sign the Honor Code now, they should not have difficulty signing the Community Standard next year. “By signing the Honor Code, you have to stay true to yourself and not rely on others. You’re making a commitment, and I think that commitment would still apply with the new code,” he said. Angelica Agishi welcomed the more demanding poli-

cy. “If you see academic dishonesty in play, you have the responsibility to go and speak up about it,” she said. Some, however, were not as receptive. “It’s a good idea, but I don’t think students should have to rat out other students,” said Becky Logsdon. Honor Council Chair Sandeep Kishore, a junior, spoke to students during convocation and said afterward that the council will work with the AIC, students and faculty this year to help finalize elements of the Community Standard, including the dean’s excuse policy and unproctored exams. “We want to bridge the rift between faculty and students and forge a sense ofhonor and trust,” Kishore said. “This year should be a year for students to really come out and really critique how to make the standard even more useful.”

Ten former Duke players return for All-Star Charity Basketball Game, play team of NBA stars By NEELUM JESTE The Chronicle

Ten of Duke’s greatest former basketball players will return to Cameron Indoor Stadium for tonight’s second

will be the San Antonio Spurs’ Danny Ferry, who left Duke a decade before Avery and Maggette. According to Krzyzewski, Ferry is the “biggest practical joker in the history of our program.” The Grizzlies’ Shane Battier, who captured the National Player of the Year award nine years after Laettner, will also be wearing Duke b\Blue once again in Cameron. Manning the sidelines will be Wizards’ head coach Doug Collins, father of Duke assistant coach Chris Collins, and Sidney Lowe, head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, “Maybe Shane will tell you a little bit about what team he’s on,” Krzyzewski said. “If he’s on Doug’s team maybe there’s a little dirt there, but if he’s on Sydney’s team then there’s harmony.” Current free agents Cherokee Parks and Brian Davis will close out the roster for the Duke Stars. The NBA Stars roster includes other familiar faces in Cameron, including former Maryland star Juan Dixon, who signed with the Washington Wizards this year. Dixon will face current teammate Laettner on the other side of the court. Greg Buckner, the older brother of senior point guard Andre Buckner,

annual All-Star Charity Basketball Game. The event, which tips off at 7 p.m., also features eight current NBA players. “[The basketball program] has some great events going in August,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said last month in a press conference. He added that it would be the first time Cameron had been played in since air conditioning was installed. Representing Duke is a lineup that has played in a combined 22 NCAA Final Fours. Two members of last season’s team, Mike Dunleavy, now with Golden State, and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Carlos Boozer will be returning. The Orlando Magic’s Grant Hill, who organized the event last year but was unable to play due to an ankle injury and served as one of the coaches, will appear in uniform tonight. Also returning are Corey Maggette, with the Los Angeles Clippers, and William Avery, from the Utah Jazz, both of whom left Duke in 1999 after their respective freshmen and sophomore seasons. Washington forward Christian Laettner, 1992’s National will participate along with Darrell Player of the Year, will also return. See CHARITY GAME on page 20 Adding more experience to the team

Both sides think MLB can avoid looming strike By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

NEW YORK With a week to go, negotiators for players and owners expressed optimism Thursday that they have enough time to reach a deal and avoid another baseball strike.

DONALD FEHR, the MLPBA representative, was involved in labor talks in recent weeks. The union has set a Aug. 30 strike date if an agreement is not reached.

ESPN.com the Washington Redskins traded quarterback Sage Rosenfels to the Miami Dolphins for the Dolphins’ seventh-round pick in the 2003 draft.

The sides had three bargaining sessions Thursday, completing an agreement on debt regulation that eased the union’s concerns the rules would restrict spending on players. The union did not respond to the owners’ latest revenue-sharing proposal but said it will soon. “The issues have been narrowed sufficiently that it would not take very much time to conclude an agreement,” said union lawyer Steve Fehr, the brother of union head Donald Fehr. While the sides are still apart on their revenue-sharing proposals and disagree on the levels of a proposed luxury tax on the payrolls of baseball’s biggest, spenders, they agree on much of the framework. Sometime next week, the sides must decide whether they want to compromise on their numbers or try to outlast each other during the threatened strike. If players walk out on the Aug. 30 strike date, it would be baseball’s ninth work stoppage since 1972.

“We have plenty of time to resolve all of the issues that are outstanding between the parties,” said Rob Manfred, the owners’ top labor lawyer. “It’s just a difference of numbers.... Seven days is plenty of time to resolve those numerical differences.” At times, it seems as if too much time remains before the strike deadline. Pressure has not yet built enough to force the necessary compromises on the biggest issues. Much of Thursday, Manfred said, was devoted to scheduling, interleague play and the assignment of player contracts. The debt regulation agreement resolved a potential problem with the owners’ 60-40 rule, according to a management official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The 60-40 rule, established in the mid-1970s but enforced only periodically, requires each team to have at least 60 percent of its value in assets and no more than 40 percent in debt. In March, commissioner Bud Selig told teams that the rule would be enforced again, and said all unpaid money owed players in long-term contracts would be counted as debt. Players, worried about restrictions on

Mets lose to Giants 3-1, extend losing skid to 11 Six strong innings from San Francisco’s Ryan Jensen hand New York worst streak since From wire reports

3 SAN FRANCISCO New York Mets man1 ager Bobby Valentine Mets sat with his head buried in his hands following another disheartening loss. “The last six or seven days I’ve treated it every way possible. I’ll just come up with another way tomorrow,” Valentine said. “Just about everyone in the lineup had good at bats. It’s just not enough. Something is just missing.” Ryan Jensen pitched six strong innings to win for the first time in eight starts and the San Francisco Giants extended the Mets’ longest losing streak since 1991 to 11 games with a 3-1 victory Thursday. ‘You feel like something is going to go wrong all the time,” Mets first baseman Mo Vaughn said. “It’s not easy, but it’s part of the job. There’s no feeling sorry for ourselves.” San Francisco won all six meetings with the Mets this season, just the second time in franchise history the Giants have swept a season series. They beat Florida nine times in 1998. The Giants remained 2 1/2 games behind Los Angeles in the NL wild card race. The Mets have dropped 16 of their last 19 to fall into last place in the NL East. They are on their longest losing streak since also losing 11 straight Aug. 9-21, 1991. “We’ve pitched really well,” Valentine said. “They’ve given us a good effort. The hitters are just trying too hard. We’re missing it a little.” Giants

Jensen (11-8) won for the first time since July 15 after allowing one run on six hits. Of the 25 batters he faced, Jensen walked two and struck out two. “It was kind of a rough start, but after the first three innings I started getting my breaking ball in there and they started swinging at the first pitch,” Jensen said. Robb Nen pitched the ninth for his 31st save in 38 opportunities. The Giants improved to 10-0 in the regular season against the Mets at Pacific Bell Park. “This series was perfect,” Giants manager Dusty Baker said. “It was what we needed. It was our first sweep in a while. You never know why you dominate somebody or why you’re dominated. Everybody goes through slumps. Sometimes you just don’t feel it.” Mike Bacsik (2-1) gave the Mets another solid outing, giving up three runs and nine hits over 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three. “I put it on my shoulders a little bit,” Bacsik said. “We’re in a bad stretch here and I tried to do everything possible to get a win. It just didn’t work out.” New York has been outscored 54-20 during its recent drought, but by only 93 in the past four games. Raul Gonzalez continues to impress for the Mets, going 2-for-4 in his second straight game since being acquired from Cincinnati. Rey Ordonez gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the second when he singled home Jeromy Burnitz, who doubled to open the inning.

Perry suffered a third-degree tear of a groin muscle in his left leg during warmup before Tuesday’s scrimmage. “Bruce’s injury is very unfortunate for us as a team,” said Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen. “The good news is that he did not tear the tendon off of the bone and it looks like he will be able to come back at some point this year. If there is some silver lining, I think that’s it. Bruce is determined to rehab and get back on the field as soon as possible.”

Accomplice pleads guilty to cover-up in Williams case By SHEILA HOTCHKIN The Associated Press

A second man pleaded FLEMINGTON, N.J. guilty Thursday to charges he helped cover up Jayson Williams’ role in the shooting death of a limousine driver and will testify against the former NBA star. John W. Gordnick told the judge he took the clothes Williams was wearing when the driver was shot, hid them in a car and didn’t turn them over to authorities for several weeks. “I guess I just saw Jayson in a difficult situation. I wasn’t thinking straight and I reacted,” Gordnick said. He pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence, and prosecutors will recommend probation. He could have faced nearly 12 years in prison if convicted.

Williams, the former All-Star forward for the New

Jersey Nets, has pleaded innocent to first-degree manslaughter and charges he tampered with witnesses and evidence in the driver’s Feb. 14 shooting at his mansion.

Prosecutors accuse Williams of recklessly handling the 12-gauge shotgun that fired and hit Costas Christofi in the chest, then trying to make it look as if the driver fired the gun. If convicted on all charges, Williams could face nearly 45 years in prison. He remains free on $270,000 bail. A status hearing was scheduled for early September. “John Gordnick’s plea bargain with the prosecution in no way affects our readiness for trial,” said Williams’ spokeswoman, Judy Smith. “A tragic accident has occurred and Mr. Williams is prepared to present the true facts to a jury of his peers.” Williams’ other co-defendant also has agreed to testify against him. Kent Culuko pleaded guilty in April to tampering with evidence and witnesses. Culuko is a former NBA player who was waived by the Nets in 1997. Gordnick helps coach summer See WILLIAMS on page 21

Worcester downs Harlem 5-2 to reach U.S. Finals By DAN LEWERENZ The Associated Press

An 5 SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. intentional walk had taken the bat 2 out of the hands of Worcester’s Harlem power hitter. Along came Ryan Griffin. His three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning gave Worcester, Mass., a 5-2 victory over Harlem, N.Y., on Thursday night in a US. semifinal at the Little League World Series. “I couldn’t believe it was going—l couldn’t believe the game ended like that,” Griffin said. “I was just trying to hit it into a gap in left or right field.” Gordie Lockbaum walked to lead off the sixth inning and Frank Flynn, who hit Worcester’s only home run of the tournament, was intentionally walked. After one out, Griffin battled through an eight-pitch at-bat and sent the ball sailing over the right field wall. Harlem right fielder Fernando Frias threw his hat near the fence in obvious disappointment, and then came Worcester’s celebration at home plate. “Ryan, the last couple games, has been putting it into the dirt,” Worcester manager Fran Granger said. “We worked on that and worked on it. Tonight, it paid off.” Worcester will play Louisville, Ky., in Saturday’s U.S. championship game. Worcester

The international championship will feature

Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles against Sendai, Japan. Curacao beat Valencia, Venezuela, 30 Thursday. Harlem, which took a lot of criticism over showboating in earlier games, was swinging for the fences in the top of the sixth, but Jeremy Lopez grounded out and Alibay Barkley and Javier Lopez were struck out by Keith Landers. “That has been our nemesis, if you will, the offspeed pitch—and it reared its head again,” Harlem manager Morris McWilliams said. Harlem took a 2-0 lead in the third on RBI-singles by Jorge Lopez and Frias. Harlem had the bases loaded with two outs, but Spencer White flied deep to left to end the inning. Worcester tied it in the bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly by Flynn and a passed ball. Harlem loaded the bases again in the fourth, and then had runners at first and third in the fifth. The Harlem team was cleared to play in the World Series just days before it started after providing documents showing that its players met residency requirements. The game started about 20 minutes late because of rain and was delayed briefly in the second inning when Harlem’s Ralph Rodriguez was stung by a bee in left field. He returned to finish the inning.

ANALYSIS

Inside

Outside

THE NOD

Christian Laettner and Grant Hill are among the all-

time greats, but are 32 and 30 years old, respectively. With that being said, the NBA Stars lone center, Kirk Hasten, does not even average two points a

game. Durham native Rodney Rogers will pose the only threat to Duke inside, and even that is mild.

Mike Dunleavy should have a strong game trying to prove he can play with the NBA guys. William Avery can also back up Dunleavy in proving that leaving college early can be a good thing. The youths could face some trouble with Darrell Armstrong and Steve Kerr, who have been in the NBA a combined 22 years. Duke has much more depth than the NBA squad, with Corey Maggette, Carlos Boozer and Danny Ferry awaiting playing time. The only other NBA threat that exists is underrated Hornets guard David Wesley. If Lowe coaches Battier, the Blue Devils bench will have an added advantage.

n O)

7 p.m.

The Duke players have the home court advantage even though some have not played in Cameron for years. It now has air-conditioning, which may throw them off in the first few minutes of the game, but once they get used to the coolness, they will be ready to roll.

11 i3

Last year’s winning team alone ended up scoring over 120 points proving what we already suspected: defense is not played in exhibition games. This game will definitely be high scoring, especially with the fire power Duke packs. On the flip side the NBA Stars only have two true big men, something the usually guard-oriented Blue Compiled by Neelum Jeste Devils will exploit. Duke rolls 114-85. —

BASEBALL from page 15 spending, claimed that was a new interpretation, while owners said it always had been part of the rule. Selig’s interpretation could have affected some teams, including the World Series champion Arizona Diamondbacks, who owe large amounts of deferred salaries. Under the agreement Wednesday, money owed players will not be count-

ed as debt, the management official said. Manfred and Steve Fehr would only discuss the new debt regulations in general terms. “This rule says you must generate enough cash to pay the debt as it comes due,” Manfred said. Players and owners still have to complete their agreements on steroid testing and establishing a committee to study how to put in place a worldwide amateur draft. But the key issues will be revenue sharing and the luxury tax. Owners want to greatly increase the amount of locally generated revenue shared by the 30 teams. Their proposal, using 2001 figures, would raise the amount shifted from the richest teams to the poorest from $169 million to $268 million. The union’s last proposal would

shift $235 million. Instead of the so-called “split-pool plan,” which gives a higher percentage of the money to teams that make less than the major league average, the union has agreed to management’s request for a “straight-pool plan,” which favors teams in the middle. The luxury tax is the most difficult issue because it directly slows the rate of salary increases.

JAYSONWILLIAMS has been surrounded by controversy since the shooting death of a limousine driver

WILLIAMS from page 18 TOM GLAVINE, the player’s representative, has been instrumental in MLB labor talks. Owners have proposed that the portions of 40-man payrolls over $lO2 million—including $9 million in benefits—be taxed at a rate of 37.5 percent to 50 percent, depending on the number of times a team exceeds the threshold.

Players have countered with thresh-

olds of $l3O million to $l5O million, and tax rates of 15 to 30 percent.

basketball camps operated by Culuko. Christofi, 55, was invited inside Williams’ mansion after picking up Williams’ friends at a Harlem Globetrotters game in Bethlehem, Pa., prosecutors said. Gordnick told the judge he walked into the room after the shooting and saw Williams standing naked, holding his clothes. At Williams’ request, Gordnick said, he took them and hid them under the seat in his car, knowing they would be part of an investigation.

“He ran toward me, and he had clothes in his arms,” Gordnick said. “I remember him saying something to the effect of, ’Here J.G., here J.G.!”’ Williams, Gordnick and Culuko also allegedly tried to replace Williams’ fingerprints on the shotgun with the victim’s, and persuade other guests at the mansion to say Christofi was upstairs alone at the time of the shooting. The 6-foot-10 Williams was among the NBA’s best rebounders when leg injuries ended his career. He retired from the Nets in 2000. After the shooting, Williams was suspended from his job as an NBA analyst for NBC.

STEEL from page 2 would not forget them, implying that Clinton had. Steel producing states like West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania were key battle grounds in the 2000 presidential race and are expected to figure prominently in November’s fight over which party will control the House and Senate. But the decision provoked a firestorm of complaints from U.S. trading partners, led by the 15-nation European Union and Japan, both of which filed cases against the United States before the World Trade Organization and threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs without waiting for the WTO to rule unless the administration modified its original order. The EU issued a hit lit of $350 million in American products, including Florida citrus and textiles produced in North and South Carolina, designed to inflict political damage in states the Republicans are counting on carrying in the fall congressional elections. The EU, which had already delayed imposing the retaliatory tariffs until at least September, had no immediate reaction to the latest exemptions but officials in Japan indicated they would now call off their own threatened retaliation. However, steel consuming companies in the United States expressed disappointment that the exemptions did not go farther, saying more jobs would be lost in steel consuming companies than saved in the steel industry. “In the last several months, we have seen that steel-using small businesses are not able to deal with the shortages, delays and price hikes they are experiencing,” said Lewis Leibowitz, an attorney for

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH spoke at a fundraiser in Oregon Thursday as his administration announced the steel exemptions

the Consuming Industries Trade Action Coalition. While the administration said that it would begin accepting requests for new exemptions in November, Leibowitz said, “By November, some small companies may well not be around to ask for exclusions.” The administration said steel users who had been rejected in their request for an exemption could file a new petition staring in November. However, the requests will not be acted on until next March. The 178 product exemptions granted on Thursday brought the total granted to 727 products out of 1,300 requested exemptions.

Duke’s missing money

The

University has decided to repay the federal government nearly $700,000 after two employees embezzled federal grant money from the Center for Demographic Studies and its lead researcher, Kenneth Manton. The fact that the University lost track of so much money is inexcusable, and although the guilt surely lies with the two employees responsible for the theft, the lack of oversight ofthe Center for Demographic Studies by the University is also to blame. Fortunately, the University removed Manton from direct supervision ofadministrative and financial matters and instituted changes in how the Center for Documentary Studies operates. When a person handles millions of dollars, someone at the University needs to ensure that he uses the money correctly. This is especially true now, when Arts and Sciences is suffering a budget shortfall. For the past year, Dean ofthe Faculty ofArts and Sciences William Chafe has been talking about “tough choices” that have to be made in order to keep costs and spending under control. However, it seems as if Arts and Sciences cannot even control the money that it currently has under its purview. Some of the responsibility for this debacle lies with Chafe. Max Woodbury, a professor emeritus at the center, says that he voiced concerns about Manton and the center’s operation in fall 2000, a full six months before the University discovered that Manton and the center had been swindled. Although Chafe says Woodbury’s comments did not warrant an investigation, if administrators had looked into the center’s operations when Woodbury complained instead of in April 2001, perhaps the impact ofthis theft could have been mitigated. The essential problems lie in the lack of oversight that administrators have over center operations. Of course, principal investigators and centers must have some degree offreedom from the University in order to conduct their research. But this degree of freedom should not be a license for centers to run willy-nilly without any University supervision. In the aftermath of this scandal, the University clearly does not have enough supervision of centers and might be well served to conduct more frequent audits of their centers that often escape the overview of more clearly defined departmental budgets. Administrators argue that this incident is isolated. That may be, but there is no way to tell for sure, since the University has not been forthcoming about the incident. To prevent incidents like this in the future, administrators should increase communication with its centers and researchers. One way the University can do that is by promoting an atmosphere where center employees feel comfortable going to senior administrators with complaints about the way their centers are being managed and feel that their concerns will be taken seriously.

Iraq’s role in terrorism Brent Scowcroft and his leave-Saddamalone acolytes on the president’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board insist that “there is scant evidence to tie Saddam to terrorist organizations.” But here are two names of intense current interest to

American counterterror agents. One is Fowzi Saad al-Obeidi, an Iraqi intelligence officer who supposedly defected from Saddam Hussein’s ranks but whose family continues to enjoy privileges in Baghdad. Under the name Abu Zubair, Saad headed a

William Safire Commentary force of 120 Arab terrorists backed by about 400 renegade Kurds who were remnants of a defeated separatist group. Their “Supporters of Islam” organization was sent by Saddam into the portion ofnorthern Iraq under US. aerial protection to assassinate the democratic Kurdish leadership and to establish crude chemical warfare facilities in remote villages near the Iranian border. The other name is of a senior al-Qaeda commander, Abu Omer al-Kurdi. Known at in headquarters Jalalabad, Qaeda Afghanistan, by the name Rafid Fatah, this aide to Osama bin Laden aide helped train many of these infiltrators and accompanied them on their mission. Several of their attempts to kill the Kurdish leaders Massoud Barzani and Jalal Talabani or their deputies late last year, with the latest strike at a top aide just last week, were bloodily repulsed, with a score of the terrorists captured—including the Saddam agent, Saad, and the Qaeda operative, al-Kurdi. However, the terrorist mission to set up facilities to weaponize poisons in Iraqi Kurdistan’s mountainous equivalent of Afghanistan’s Tora Bora has been more successful. One produces a form of cyanide cream that kills on contact. A shipment of this rudimentary panic-spreader, produced by what interrogators say is a Qaeda-Saddam joint venture, was recently intercepted in Turkey on its way to terror cells in the West. The chemicals are not weapons of mass destruction, but for individuals who touch it—’tis enough, ’twill do. Such verification of data obtained from the captured terrorists awakened CIA bureaucrats who for nearly a year waved reporters away from evidence of Qaeda-Iraqi

links lest it justify U.S. action. Belatedly, a CIA team interrogated some of the terrorists held in northern Iraq—comparing what they found with information gleaned from alQaeda prisoners at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and elsewhere. Even religiously motivated terrorists crack in dismay at how much the interrogator already knows. When added to prisoners’ family details provided by Kurdish sources, the scope of our knowledge led captives in Kurdistan to talk about poison production and Iraqi links because they figured there was little left to hide. The new information has changed much intelligence analysis. The CIA has even stopped discrediting reports from Czech intelligence about a different point of QaedaSaddam contact: the meeting between the Sept. 11 hijackers’ leader, Mohamed Atta, and a top Saddam spymaster in Prague. But the new, not scant evidence of Saddam’s close connection with terrorists seeking to kill Kurds under our air protection and to export crude poison weaponry poses an immediate operational problem: Should we send in Special Forces to find and root out the hidden facilities near the Iraq-Iran border? The answer, apparently, is, “Not now.” Why? For the same reason we have not sent antitank weapons and gas masks to the 70,000 Kurdish fighters eager to join an American effort to topple the Iraqi dictator: It might provide a provocation for Saddam to take out the lightly armed Kurds before America has forces in place to launch a coordinated assault, probably early next year. Let’s not pretend we must “make the case” that Saddam personally directed the events of Sept. 11. The need to strike at an aggressive despot before he gains the power to blackmail us with the horrific weapons he is building and hiding is apparent to most Americans, including those who will bear the brunt of the fight. But it would make sense for him to use his new weaponry through terrorist cutouts. That is why it is worthwhile to discover and expose the likelihood of Saddam's previous and present connections to mass murder. That is why people who oppose the finishing of this fighton strategic, self-justifying, political or pacifist grounds—should open their minds to the signs that terror’s most dangerous supporter can be found in Baghdad.

Fighting for our souls and our ideals

The crux of the current war is whether American virtues will triumph over Islamic fundamentalism

As Duke welcomes a new freshman class and new academic year, the first anniversary of a very black day looms ahead. It is easy to say that America’s current

war is for our survival and prosperity, but we I are fighting for our ideals as much as we ga [a are for our physical well-being, so this war at is not solely about bin Laden and al-Qaeda, but about whether the idea that succored them, radical Islamic fundamentalism, will destroy or be destroyed by American ideals. As an

immigrant, I deeply appreciate the guiding principles of America that are often taken for granted: 1) Empiricism: Americans are not wedded to ideologies and are wary of new “-isms,” but fond of things that work, focusing on goals, not processes. Skepticism and pragmatism fuel scientific inquiry (the beginning of any quest for truth are the words “I don’t know”) and enable correction of mistakes by government and society. The Constitution’s pre-

amble, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,” embodies this, recognizing that America, land of second chances, is and always will be a work in progress. 2) Anyone can be an American: The Statue of Liberty proclaims welcome to foreigners (although such welcome is not always matched in reality). In stark contrast to countries that severely restrict immigration, allowing foreigners only as

menial laborers and indentured servants, or have citizenship requirements that one’s ancestors were citizens, the U.S. con-

fers opportunities to newcomers and their children—a marvelous engine of selfrenewal. I will never forget my Chinese medical school classmate whose parents sold noodles on the streets of Flushing, N.Y. Fostering enlightened immigration not only enriches the cultural vibrancy of America but is a brilliant economic device. The country gets the talents and tax base of numerous adults without investing in their childhood. The most handsome dividends of immigration were in World War 11, when we welcomed countless refuges and hundreds of scientists fleeing Nazi death camps who then went on to help us win. 3) Live and let five: This underpins our freedom of choice and culture of the individual. While the First Amendment gets all the glory, the Tenth Amendment shines, “Powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” You can pretty much do anything you like as long as you don’t hurt others, and the government won’t get in the way. 4) The rule of law: John Adams wrote, “We are a nation oflaws, not of men.” The checks and balances in the architecture of the Constitution, together with due process enshrined in the Bill of Rights, have shielded the world’s oldest democracy from the temptations of tyranny, moderated mob passions, and protected freedoms and the innocent. Transparency is maintained by a vigorous judiciary and a free press, the organs of society that cast sunlight on government agencies and guard against abuse. The Freedom of information Act reinforces the “public’s right to know.”

5) Exploration: Hollywood’s special

effects do not compare with NASA, deepsea divers, particle physicists, biomedical researchers and their predecessors. This culture of exploration has bestowed America with unparalleled dynamism, a fascination with the future, an eternal

These principles have helped this country become great. Sure, they have drawbacks (gridlock, bureaucracy, materialism), and yes, America has too often been hypocritical (the three-fifths com-

promise, lack of women’s suffrage, slavery, wiping out Native Americans), but within our system is the capacity to recognize optimistic can-do spirit and unprecedented physical and social mobility. faults, change and grow, to form a more 6) Opportunity for all: In principle, perfect union.
