UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS will undergo a $1 million renovation this year, as approved by the Board of Trustees, to add extra facilities for presentations to prospective students.
New admissions building underway By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle
After a decade of deliberation, construction is finally underway on a new addition to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The $1 million project, which features a new presentation hall with space for 150 people, will be completed early next year, in time, admissions officials hope, to make a favorable impression on the first major wave of prospective students who visit campus around spring break. Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions, said the construction will provide more space for admissions
presentations and make prospective students’ visits more similar to those at Ivy League schools. “Duke is unusual amongst its competitors in asking peopie to move around,” he said. “But the new building will be a significant step forward in terms of our ability to be welcoming to people. Provost Peter Lange emphasized that the new building is coming at a crucial time for the University, The number of prospective applicants visiting campus is increasing every year, which makes students’ first impres”

WEL diner reopens amid growing pains By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle
Rick’s Diner in the West-Edens Link returned to almost full service Monday after a hectic 12 hours late Sunday night when a dearth of food caused the four-day-old eatery to turn away customers. “We ran out of food last night and had a delivery that was late this morning, so breakfast had a very limited menu,” general manager Tony Strickland said Monday.
Waffles, biscuit sandwiches, oatmeal and several other items were offered, although long lines were back by dinnertime as the restaurant’s operations returned to near normal. Both Strickland and Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst blamed the temporary shutdown on better than expected business, although Strickland
added that inadequate refrigeration also contributed to the diner’s troubles. “They just had a bang-up, unbelievable three days,” Wulforst said. “There aren’t enough refrigerators in the world that could have helped this weekend.” Wulforst added that Rick’s had lines out the door at 3:30 in the morning Saturday and attributed the diner’s success to its novelty. “It’s the newest thing on campus,” he said. “I always tell new [eateries] to be prepared. They never realize what I mean by that. They never realize how busy it can be.” See DINER REOPENS on page 6 IInciflo lib iif 6
RICK’S DINER, the 24-hour eatery in the West-Edens Link, had to close Sunday night, but was up and running again Monday morning.

Although the Nasher Museum ofArt is almost two years behind schedule, the plans for the upcoming West Campus attraction are nearing their final stage with an even larger budget. The building’s designs, which date back to spring 2000 and have caused most of the delay, will be completed by the end of September. Construction should begin in the next year and is scheduled to take 20 months, said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, putting the museum well behind its original scheduled 2003 opening. “It’s taken longer than I hoped, but now it’s ready to go,” Trask said. The budget for the new museum— which will bear the name of Dallas philanthropist Raymond Nasher in honor of his $7.5 million gift in Nov. 1998—is Tallman Trask also tentatively increasing to $23 million from an earlier projection of between $l5 million and $l9 million. The additional funds will enable the University to complete the architectural designs and make the museum “everything we wanted it to be,” said Michael Mezzatesta, director of the art museum. Mezzatesta, who has met with architect Rafael Vinoly’s head assistants weekly to perfect the designs, said the process was lengthy but constructive. The result is a particularly efficient gallery where almost all of the space can be used to display art. “The design process has been very careful and exhaustive,” Mezzatesta said. Tve been waiting for this a very long time and learned that patience is a virtue. There have been moments of disappointment, but now we can see a world-class facility on the horizon.” Meanwhile, the Duke University Museum of Art on East Campus remains the University’s art museum and as people donate art works for the See NASHER DELAYS on page 9

Leaders gather for World Summit Attendees are optimistic, yet critical of President George W. Bush’s absence By RACHEL SWARNS
New York Times News Service
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Tens of thousands of officials from all over the world, environmentalists and advocates for the poor converged on this old mining city Monday to devise an ambitious blueprint to promote development while protecting natural resources. The crowd of participants flocked to the UN. World Summit on Sustainable Development in flowing African robes, Indian saris and pinstriped suits. They celebrated the spirit of global solidarity and vowed to hammer out an action plan to protect receding rain forests, to clean polluted air and to help millions of people escape from poverty.
More than 100 presidents and prime ministers, including most European leaders, will attend this summit meeting to show their commitment to their new pledges. But many here are expressing doubts about the developed nations’ sincerity and are especially critical of President George W. Bush, the leader of the world’s biggest economy and its largest polluter, who has decided not to attend. American officials here Monday said they would soon announce in-
vestments of more than $970 million in projects to provide access to clean water to countries in Africa and other developing nations. They also said that they wanted to focus on offering concrete support for specific projects
instead of getting mired in debates about the targets and time frames sought by the developing nations. As the participants gathered in the gleaming convention center here, nearly everyone was haunted by the failures of the past. Ten years ago, the world’s leaders left the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro with an ambitious agenda now mostly remembered by delegates who have gathered here as a string of broken promises and squandered opportunities. In his opening speech Monday, President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa said pointedly that the world had stood by See SUMMIT on page 9

Carcara pulls out Morgan balances two key positions of Durham search This is the second story in a five-part series profiling various student leaders this year.
The police chief search took another twist Monday after the sole remaining finalist withdrew from consideration, Durham officials announced. From staff reports The search for the next Durham chiefof police could either conclude Wednesday or may have to begin anew, after city officials met Monday and candidate William Carcara dropped out of the selection process After a two-hour closed session with the City Council, City Manager Marcia Conner said she will outline her options to
council members tomorrow either naming someone immediately or launching a search that the city staff would conduct internally. Following last week’s resig- Marcia Conner nation by Gregory Watkins, whom Conner named chief earlier this month and who was to take office Sept. 3, only one ofthe three finalists for the position remained—Carcara, chief of police of the Jefferson County Police Department in Louisville, Ky. But Carcara, also a candidate for the police chief job in Sarasota, Fla., had expressed doubts in whether he would assume the Durham position and is now formally out of the running, Con—
ner said.
“Mr. Carcara and I spoke yesterday and mutually determined that he would no longer be considered for the Durham position,” Conner said in a statement. “He indicated that he wanted to complete the search process for the Sarasota position which may come to a close within a week.” Interim Police Chief Steve Chalmers, who had previously been eliminated from the process after a search firm concluded he had untruthfully answered a question concerning arrests and convictions in his past, said he stills wants consideration. “Even though this selection process has taken many turns, I still have a strong desire to serve the citizens of Durham as police chief,” he said in a statement. Chalmers will continue to serve as interim chief until a new chief is named.

“I’m good at not making commitments that I can’t fill,” said Interfratemity Council President, Head FirstYear Advisory Counselor Co-Chair and Duke Student Government Head Line Monitor, Jeremy Morgan. When he assumed his numerous positions last spring, some students questioned Morgan’s ability to lead so many organizations. Even administrators expressed uncertainty about Morgan’s list of duties. But many are now shocked to find he is proving them wrong. “Initially, I was very skeptical with Jeremy’s three very public and important leadership posi- HI I YOUR tions,” said Todd Adams, director of the Office of Fraternity and I IO | OAM PUb Sorority Life. “Thus far, I have not been disappointed.” LEADERS Morgan, a senior, defends his time commitments by saying they do not compare with his past roles and responsibilities. He was the CFO and CEO of Devils’ Delivery Service—a food delivery business—and treasurer and then president of Sigma Nu fraternity. He was employed by IBM during his junior year and just completed an intense internship at Merrill Lynch. At the same time, he is majoring in computer science and economics with a markets and management certificate. Now, however, the Murphysboro, 111., native pledges to fully engage himself in extracurricular activities. He has kept himself occupied during freshman orientation as one of the heads of the FAC program. With orientation drawing to an end and new elections occurring for the FAC Board in December, Morgan will only serve as a consultant for the remaining portion of the year and will turn his attention to managing the tent city at Krzy zewskiville. Morgan has never tented himself, but he is talking to former head line monitors and has pledged to appoint assistants with tenting expertise. He said he has missed only two basketball games, and that he takes being a Cameron Crazie very seriously. After three years ofrevisions to the tenting rules, Morgan said he does not anticipate many significant changes for this basketball season with only some “small tweaking” in areas like the walk-up line. In his role as new IFC president, Morgan said the University is still a “work hard, play hard school” _

and that the social aspect offraternities is “not something to be afraid of.” He pointed out that the pressure to join a fraternity to benefit from its housing locations has reduced—because all sophomores are now guaranteed housing on West Campus—something he said may actually strengthen greek life.

Freshmen play the drop/add game despite advice � The Pre-Major Advising Center advises most freshmen to stick with the four classes they have on their schedule, but are fresh-
man listening? By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle
Freshman Whitney Morton decided Monday that Biology of Dinosaurs wasn’t for her: After just one class, she logged on to ACES Web and dropped the course in favor of one in art history. Although discouraged by the University, freshmen like Morton often use the drop/add period to shop for classes. The administration, particularly the Pre-Major Advising Center, dissuades first-year students from significantly changing their class schedules, and instead urges them to stay in their assigned four classes, except in rare cases. “We certainly do discourage freshmen from using drop/add,” said Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson. “Typically what happens is that we have more familiarity with what options they have, and we think they should try to stick classes out.” Assistant Director of PMAC Milton Blackmon also warns that freshmen should be wary of dropping certain courses. “We wouldn’t encourage them at all to drop the writing or seminar course,” Blackmon said. “We need to fill them each semester.” Students are sent first-year course guides over the summer and are asked to go online ta select three primary and seven alternative classes, as well as four possible writing courses and four possible first-year seminars, Blackmon said. The guide provides course descriptions, describes Curriculum 2000 and offers suggested tracks for each of the majors. The Registrar and the PMAC then work together to create each student’s schedule. Sam Louis said the lack of control in choosing a

Once students have entered their PINs, however, they have free reign to alter their courses. “I’ve dropped and added classes numerous times already mostly because the classes I was in were the last choices as far as registration went,” said Kelly Bruno. Numerous upperclassmen, including senior Shivali Gotecha, said they wish they had taken as proactive a role in their course load as freshmen. “My first semester I sort of knew about it but wasn’t exactly sure how to go about it,” Gotecha said.

Other than changing classes because of a lack of interest, students said they wanted more control over the times they had to be in class—an element that they did not have control over when registering. However, freshmen in the FOCUS Program—about 40 percent of the class—and those who received most of their top choices said they did not have to resort to schedule shifting. “Signing up in the summer happened to work out well for me,” said Matt Satemus, who has not dropped any courses. “I’d prefer to know what we were going to get, but I guess the system’s fine considering how many people they have to schedule.” A vocal cross-section ofthe class does not have such a rosy outlook ofthe scheduling procedures. “Signing up in the summer is dumb,” Morton said. “I didn’t know what I wanted or what the requirements were.” Cindy Yee contributed to this story.

Israeli Arabs’ involvement in bombing heightens concern By STEVEN GUTKIN The Associated Press
JERUSALEM Seven Israeli Arabs have been arrested as suspected accomplices in a deadly suicide bombing, police said Monday, heightening concern of a growing alliance between members of their community and Palestinian militants. The announcement came as Israel’s army chief of staff said Palestinian militants pose a “cancer-like” threat to Israel, and must be defeated at all costs to restore the deterrence Israel lost when it withdrew from south Lebanon in 2000. The comments by Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon brought sharp criticism from dovish politicians who said he was overstepping his bounds as a military officer. One commentator called the remarks an attempt to derail an agreement that envisions Israeli withdrawals from
parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in exchange for Palestinian steps against terrorism. The Israeli military announced a series of steps to ease restrictions on Bethlehem, the first test area, handed over to Palestinian security Aug. 20. “Because of the relative calm,” a military statement said, Israel would allow workers, merchants and merchandise from Bethlehem to enter Israel. Also, teachers and clergy would have freedom of movement. The military did not say how many people would be included. The seven arrested Israeli Arabs, all members of the same family, were accused of involvement in an Aug. 4 suicide bombing on a bus at the Meron junction in northern Israel. The blast killed nine passengers and
then scouted a target—a bus filled with Israeli soldiers and civilians. Only last week, police arrested four Arab residents of Jerusalem on suspicion of carrying out several bombings, including a July 31 blast at the Hebrew University cafeteria that killed nine people, including five Americans. The arrests increased concerns that Arabs with Israeli identity cards might use their status to carry out
terror attacks. Israeli Arabs, who number about 1 million of Israel’s population of 6 million citizens have freedom of movement not afforded to residents of the West Bank, who have been barred from Israel during 23 months of pedestrians. fighting. Jerusalem’s 200,000 Palestinians, who have Police said the suspects helped store explosives in a Israeli ID cards but are not full citizens, also enjoy nursery school, dressed the assailant as a tourist and such freedom of movement. 0 n^n^frifrJn^fr^frJlrin^frlfrJlrll

DINER REOPENS
from page 1
Both Strickland and Wulforst said the opening of another large walk-in refrigerator later this week should help alleviate storage concerns. The diner received its certificate of operation only Aug. 16, and so major air conditioning duct work around the large refrigerator has yet to be
completed.
Wulforst noted that the space in the bottom floors of the McClendon Tower was originally intended for a small establishment that would do most of its food preparation at another location on campus. He said the choice of Rick’s, which does all of its cooking on site, required a change in plans and pushed back installation of the refrigerator. Wulforst said space may always be a concern for the eatery, and that he is unsure whether the problems will force the diner to close again. But he added that the largest issues should be resolved within a week. Strickland said some items on the menu, like ice cream, are still unavailable because Jim Wulforst of a lack of freezer space. Senior James Roy said the diner seemed to have put its shaky start Monday morning behind it, bringing back more and more food on the menu throughout the day. “I tried to order an omelet two or three times earlier today,” Roy said. “They had the eggs but they didn’t have the meat and everything else. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and it was really good, but they had no pickles.” Roy finally had his omelet Monday night for dinner, and friends were served pickles with their meals. “They’ve made a lot of progress since they opened Thursday,” senior Seth Weiner said. “They seem to be learning from mistakes. They’re writing names on the tickets now and the line is moving a lot faster.”

TWO CONSTRUCTION WORKERS cut lumber for the addition to Undergraduate Admissions on Campus Drive. The addition will include an auditorium for prospective students.
ADMISSIONS from page 1 sion of Duke more important than ever. “We have been cramped in recent years,” Lange said, “but this addition should allow admissions to do the best possible job in presenting Duke University.” Under the direction of University Architect John Pearce, the addition will boast several improvements that administrators hope will lure more students to apply. It will be located at the back of the existing admissions building, which at one time housed Duke’s president, and be built in the same Duke Stone. The centerpiece ofthe new 150-seat space will be a large meeting hall that will become the primary presentation space, with movable walls for more intimate interactions between prospective students and admissions personnel. Also included in the plans are several multimedia features that will allow visitors to view slide-show and power-point presentations during admissions sessions.

In post-admissions session surveys, the most consistent complaint from prospective students and their families was a lack of space provided for information sessions and presentations in the current admissions cottage. “When we arrived at the admissions office after a long walk, we were told that there was not enough room to hold all of us and were asked to move again to another building on West Campus,” said freshman Connie keeper. “We must have moved at least three times before we settled down and heard from an admissions officer.” The construction of the new building will alleviate
the problem of space and attempt to keep Duke on par with the other top-flight schools prospective students typically visit. ‘When I visited Harvard, we were quickly ushered to an information session in a comfortable room in the admissions building,” said freshman Tom Mendel. “There was plenty of room to move around, and once we were seated, a slide-show ofthe campus came on immediately. I must admit, it was very well done.”

events like Greek Week “[Morgan] has remarkable experience pulling together different constituencies and communities like the faculty and administration,” Adams said. “He has the ability to look at the long-term... and has a vantage point that is unique.” When Morgan has a moment to relax, he can be found living off campus with other members of Sigma Nu or with his girlfriend and DSG Chief of Staff, Emily Grey. Despite the allegations that Grey had an undue influence on Mor-
gan’s selection as Head Line Monitor, Morgan said they do not “have a grand scheme to take over the campus.” Most of all, Morgan said he wants to “prove people wrong,” and to some he has already done just that. “I will tell you that this past spring that I, along with many others, wondered how Jeremy would be able to balance so many leadership positions his senior year,” Assistant Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi wrote in an e-mail. “I can tell you from my perspective that he has by far exceeded all of my expectations in his capacity as co-chair of the FAC program.”

This is the central task of this summit.” The officials here applauded his words. But as the day wore on and negotiators huddled in the ballrooms, it was clear that com-
ing up with a strong and memorable plan would be difficult. No new treaties or conventions will be signed here. Instead, negotiators are focusing on the link between poverty and environmental degradation and on how to spur growth in poor countries while protecting the environment. But there are deep dis-
agreements between rich and poor nations about how to achieve those goals.
Poor countries say they need to improve their economies before they will be in a position to protect their natural resources. They want wealthy nations to provide aid to developing countries equal to 0.7 percent of the wealthy nations’ gross national products. They also want the wealthy nations to reduce or eliminate tariffs on agricultural goods from poor countries and, by 2015, to reduce by half the number of people who lack access to sanitation. Officials from the United States and the European Union have refused to make commitments for time frames to eliminate agricultural sub-
sidies, which protect their farmers from foreign competition.“We do not see Johannesburg as a place to have these negotiations,” said Catherine Day of the European Union at a news conference Monday.

?Pats
to sign Anderson
Free agent tailback Jamal Anderson and the New England Patriots have reached an agreement in principle to a one-year contract, which should be finalized very soon.
I
Head coach Carl Franks announced today at a press conference that the quarterback controversy between Adam Smith and Chris Dapolito has ended. However, he said that he will not disclose who the starter is in an effort to hinder East Carolina’s pregame scouting report before the two squads face off this joining weekend at Wallace Wade Stadium. “I had a pretty good idea,” of who the starter would be all along, Franks said. “I just let it solidify itself in my mind.” Since the suspension of last year’s starter D. Bryant, the battle for under center right between Dapolito and Smith has been intense, with each showing signs to justify their role as the starter. Franks mentioned that Dapolito had the better arm, a fact important to him. Franks said he told his quarterbacks of his decision in order to allow
the starter to prepare himself for the most mentally challenging position in the game. He added that he planned on playing both quarterbacks, but did not disclose specifics, citing the unpredictably ofthe game. Duke’s opponent, East Carolina, is not without its quarterback woes either. The Pirates will have a new starter for the first time since Oct. 31, 1998 because David Garrad finished his eligibility last season. Garrad virtually rewrote the Pirate record book, putting his name on 28 passing and total offense records. He was the 108th overall selection in the fourth round by the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars last spring. Sophomore Paul Troth is set to succeed Garrad, and the Duke defense plans to make minimal adjustments to challenge his inexperience. “What do you do against a quarterback who’s never played before?,” Franks said. “[Using] Conventional wisdom, you see if you can change up things. Show him one thing, then another; see if he can take care of the blitz.” The Blue Devil offense hit another

Negotiations continuing with strike 4 days away By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press
Just four days before NEW YORK baseball players were scheduled to strike, the sides weighed their next
No. 4 Davenport wins, Koumikova out of. Open By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press
NEW YORK Comfortably ahead in her first Grand Slam match of 2002, Lindsay Davenport made a backhand error and responded by kicking the bouncing ball into the photographers’ courtside pit. Her right leg’s soccer-style swing indicated two things: Davenport’s surgically repaired knee is in working order, and she won’t tolerate mistakes on her climb back. The player many consider the most capable of challenging the Williams sisters’ dominance was not given much of a test in the first round of the U.S. Open Monday, eliminating Eva Dyrberg of Denmark 6-2, 6-1. “I’m just ready to go. I’ve been waiting to play a Grand Slam all year long. It was a long wait,” said Davenport, who finished 2001 ranked No. 1 but was sidelined from November until last month. “I just was so excited to get it going today.”
Among those joining the 1998 Open champion in the second round with victories Monday were fifth-seeded Jelena Dokic, No. 8 Justine Henin and 2000 semifinalist Elena Dementieva. Men’s winners included two-time major champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov, French Open winner Albert Costa, No. 13 Roger Federer, No. 25 James Blake and Michael Chang. But 25th-seeded Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, who counts the 1994 Open among her four Grand Slam titles, was knocked out by Marion Bartoli 6-3, 6-1. And Anna Koumikova was booed by fans hoping for autographs when she quickly left the court after committing a whopping 40 unforced errors—nearly one per minute—in a 6-3, 6-0 loss to Angelique Widjaja ofIndonesia. Widjaja won without the benefit of a single forehand or backhand winner. Monday night’s schedule featured top-seeded Serena Williams vs. Gorina Morariu, and No. 6 Andre Agassi vs. Robby Ginepri.

moves Monday in the drawn-out negotiations for a new labor contract. Owners made small steps to the union’s position in their latest offer, and it appeared the next move was up to the players’ association, which didn’t immediately respond to the new proposal. The sides met once Monday aftemoon, and then met again in at night, spokespersons for play- % ers and owners said. With the sides bickering over how to divide billions of dollars in the next four
seasons, baseball remained faced with its ninth work stoppage since 1972. “My sentiment hasn’t changed—l’m an optimist by nature,” New York Yankees player representative Mike Stanton said, “There are proposals from both sides and concessions from both sides. Albeit small, a concession is a concession.” Negotiators for players and owners were not available for comment after the day’s first session. Owners want vastly increased revenue sharing and a luxury tax to slow the spending of high-payroll teams. Players have agreed to revenue sharing increases, but proposed a lower level than management, and asked to
phase in the changes, which management opposes. On the luxury tax, owners want higher tax rates and lower thresholds '
*
than players. Owners regard the union’s proposal as ineffective and players think management’s plan would act like a salary cap. Owners increased the tax threshold Sunday from $lO2 million to $lO7 million in the first three years of the new contract and to $lll million in 2006. The portions of payrolls above that figure would be taxed, using the average annual value of 40-man rosters plus about $7.7 million per team in benefits. Players have proposed threshelds of $125 million next year, Jr $135 million in 2004, $145 million in 2005 and no tax in the final season of the deal—another big point % of contention, Owners gave proposed tax rates of 35 to 50 percent, depending on the number of times a team exceed the threshold, while players have proposed rates of 15 to 40 percent. As for revenue sharing, owners proposed that teams share 36 percent of their locally generated revenue, up from 20 percent this year. The teams’ previous plan was 37 percent, and the union moved up to 33.3 percent in its Saturday proposal, The owners’ plan would transfer $263 million annually from baseball’s richest teams to its poorest, using 2001 revenue figures for analysis, Because the union’s proposal phases in changes, the players’ proposal would transfer $172.3 million in 2003, $195.6 million in 2004, $219 million in 2005 and $242.3 million in 2006.

snag last Wednesday when projected tight end starter Nick Brzezinski tore his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee. Franks was visibly upset by this unpleasant tum-of-events. “We lost our best tight end,” he said. “A good blocker and a good receiver, he was ready to have a tremendous year. He was the focal point ofour offense much ofthe time, so it’s tough los-
ing him.” Brzezinski was a backup to All-ACC tight end Mike Hart the past two seasons. He caught 25 passes for 310 yards and three
touchdowns.
Andy Roland and Calen Powell will replace Brzezinski in the line-up. Franks said the starter may be determined by the formation in which the Blue Devils begin. Duke seems eager to find out if their new assets, such as the new quarterback, the new offensive line coach and the move of Ryan Fowler to middle linebacker, will prove

NOBLE from page 11 Stadium will be great. I have a different outlook now.” Though the past year has been trying, Noble and his teammates have learned much from the experience—from the power of the human spirit, to the importance of camaraderie. As Noble calmly reviews the events of 2001, he innocently overlooks the gravity ofhis achievements. His awareness of his fortunes is impressive and humbling, as is his love for the game of soccer. Offered a job from the prestigious corporation Lehman Brothers this past
spring, Noble declined so he could finish out his career for the Blue Devils. “Once you’ve played something for 18 years of your life, it would be unfair to not finish it,” Noble said. “I wanted to come back and have my last kicks —to prove to myself that-1 could.” On the upcoming season, Noble admits to having already met his individual goal. “My goals are shared with the team goals now, to contend for the ACC title... and to push into the top 15 or top 10,” Noble said. “I’ve met my goals, just being able to play and to wear that Duke uniform. Now I
want to make the most ofit.”

Self-destructive strike Baseball strike threatens to destroy game, and is in neither side’s best interest
ti
I
mmIF!;
This
Friday, Aug. 30, is the date set by the baseball players’ union for the first work stoppage since 1994.If the players and owners do not come to a labor agreement by then, major league games will stop. But this strike does not threaten only the rest of this season, but also the future ofthe game of baseball. Baseball has still not completely recovered from its last work stoppage, with attendance remaining below 1994 levels. Another strike would cripple the game, alienating fans and emptying ballparks. Moreover, the economic system the game is currently operating under is already destroying itself, and substantive changes are needed. Currently, there is a great disparity between those teams with money and those teams without money. There are only a handful of teams with enough money to buy the players necessary to compete and win, as evinced by the perennial dominance of the Yankees and Braves. Other teams, such as the Florida Marlins in 1997 and the Arizona Diamondbacks last year, also demonstrate that teams willing to spend big money can win the World Series. But other teams without the same resources are left out in the cold. Teams like the Royals, Tigers, Expos and Brewers are already out of contention when the season begins, and it is impossible for them to ever contend because they lack the money to do so. Smallmarket teams playing well, like this year’s Twins, are the exceptions that prove the rule—but even the Twins cannot compete in the playoffs with the big boys like the Yankees or Braves with their bloated payrolls. The owners are to blame for the current bad state of the game, since they are responsible not only for ever-escalating salaries, but also for adding not viable expansions teams and blocking teams from moving to new locales. Owners like George Steinbrenner and players like Alex Rodriguez are not to blame for the game’s problems; they are merely doing the best they can under the current system. Steinbrenner has the money available and builds winning teams, doing exactly what he should do. Rodriguez was offered a huge contract and rightly took it. The real problem lies in the structure of the game. Fortunately, the owners are currently trying to fix that structure. The owners’ proposal includes provisions for greater revenue sharing between teams and a luxury tax, which would penalize teams with very large payrolls. Both of these measures will help ensure competitive balance in the game, evening the odds between teams like the Brewers and the Braves. Unfortunately, the players’ union is not going along with the owners’ proposals. Although the players’ union is protecting its own salaries, it does not realize that by taking a hardline position it is shooting itself in the foot. Both sides need to place a huge emphasis on the fans, who are the reason the players and owners both profit from the game. By threatening to strike, the players are threatening the game fans love and their own livelihood.

Duke needs discussion on UNC
summer reading
the rise of radical fundamentalism is affecting the world would have been
by the Christian far right to
I would like to start off by saying it is not surprising
that there has been limited discussion ofthe University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s book choice for their summer reading here at Duke, since we don’t even have Introducing the Qur'an in our library. I have discussed this issue with several different people, and I would like to see an intelligent debate on this issue in The Chronicle. I will try to point out some of the major arguments I have heard as well as the key points of each. I have tried to organize them and put them into insightful, but non-inciteful, wording. Here are some arguments against UNC’s decision:
The freedom of religion promised in the constitution. It is unconstitutional for the public university to require students wishing to gain access to higher education to study a primer on A)
any religion.
more useful in improving
students’ understanding of current events. Here are some arguments in support ofUNC's decision: I) It is not a requirement. Students may opt-out of reading and discussion of this book by writing a one page essay explaining their reasons. II) It will be good for the students. Exposing young people to different beliefs will challenge them and make them better people.
Academic freedom. In order for a university to function, it must have the ability to examine subjects that are uncomfortable or are not pleasing to the III)

I don’t believe that this issue has anything to do with the Bible, and I would hope if other public universities choose to require an introduction to the Bible, the book of Mormon, Hindu texts, Buddhist texts, etc., that I would oppose each and every one.

Hong Kong, China, turns five
TUESDAY, AUGUST 27,2002 �PAGE 19
Questions about Hong Kong’s freedoms remain five years after reuniting with China
As the eyes of the world this summer focused on the Middle East, South Asia and Wall Street, Hong Kong quietly marked the fifth anniversary of its status as a Special Administrative Region of China. By most f v accounts, the first five years after its handover have gone as smoothly as the most optimistic observers had foreseen. 1 avel Beijing, not surprisingly, has sought to mollify Molchanov ■naysayers and skeptics Politics and by generally adhering to Other Means the policy of “one country, two systems.” As a result, “the rule of 1aw,... the independence of the judiciary... and essential rights and freedoms are being protected,” quoting a report from the United Kingdom Foreign Office. But while the city remains one of the most free places in Asia, China is continually chipping away at Hong Kong’s democratic policy. Prior to 1997, a great number of Hong Kong residents had dire expectations for their future. The darkest moment came in 1989, following the Tiananmen massacre, when everyone knew that the British lease was running out. Tens of thousands of people lined up to wait in queues for a U.K. passport, so that, if nothing else, they would have away of escaping what they feared would come. Their worst *

fears have not materialized, but the city is changing in subtle ways, and not for the better. To Chinese central authorities, Hong Kong is an asset in the most literal sense of the word, given that this territory of barely 7.5 million people boosts the nation’s GDP by over 20 percent. The
profit motive has always driven their policy, and it always will. China needs the territory for economic reasons above all else, so it has no choice but to protect its

Taking Class Notes For some unknown cosmic reason, the Class of ’5O took a big hit this year. At least 14 of them—including war heroes, a state senator, and a bookkeeper for Eckerd—have gone to the big 50s tent in the sky. In happier news: John Webster ’B4 has given up a successful career in real estate to become a professional runner. Toni Ann Friess ’9l married Christopher Bost Millner ’93 on April 20—what the hell took them so long? Then there’s Ronald Sally ’B3 and Yvette Sally ’B4, who—out of humor, either weak or sick—have given their fourth child and third son the middle name of Mustang. w I know this and much more about p Crreg the last six months of our alumni’s Bloom lives, maybe more than anyone else. This summer I interned for Duke Mister, You’re on Fire Magazine, a bimonthly canvas on which the glories of Duke’s alumni empire are painted. These glories include innovative scientists, visionary public servants, renowned theologians and an Army Chief ofStaff. But the intern’s lot is much less glamorous—l found myself compiling the Class Notes section. This is a monotone, sketched, dense listing of announcements sent in by the hordes of Duke alumni who are unworthy of a featured spotlight, regular people who happen to hold a Duke diploma and want to display their other landmark achievements. Mostly being: marriages, promotions, births, death. An unending cycle of Life After Duke, the whole lot hopelessly anonymous despite the names printed in bold. Please understand my bitterness. Class Notes certainly provides utility value for a short-lived flame or long out-of-reach ffat brother who might be moved to reconnect. But after cutting hundreds of blurb cookies out of the lives of attorneys, obscure Ph.D.s, men and women clutching to inscrutable-sounding positions at inscrutably named organizations, my soul was crushed under the sheer weight of the banality of existence. And
all this by the end of the first day. I’m sorry for wanting to hold onto my glamorous illusions—tenuously, desperately held illusions—about the vague, glittering opportunities awaiting, beckoning, Out There. But there is only a year before I start receiving this magazine every two months. It can’t be too long, I’m thinking, until I see my name listed and, along with it, my shriveled adult existence exposed like a shaved cat. “Greg Bloom ’O3 is a mindless automaton at a sterile, insidious conglomerate. He will climb another rung in five years. He lives with his wife, and two kids, in a twice-mortgaged house where life’s only joys are found in a bottle and old, tattered Chronicle clippings.” But cynicism and sanity don’t get along well in a cubicle, and I had to smother my premature graduation panic quickly. To be honest, very few careers sound exciting in such few words. But I could find, in a couple of cold facts, vast suggestive power about entire lives. Maybe Webster had a near-death experience, gave up shilling houses and went jogging. Maybe Toni and Christopher had the only barest acquaintance in college and just a year ago happened to meet again at a dinner party; or maybe they were.best friends who never admitted to anything more, until that one drunken night. Maybe Ronald and Yvette are goodnatured eccentrics who will mercilessly inflict their children with a lifetime of neurosis. There was fun to be had with life, but I dreaded the dark half of Class Notes. The magazine’s filing system has a gruesome color coding: “five” notes come in pmk folders, “dead” notes in purple. The long stack of purple that loomed on my shelf seemed to dwarf the pmk. If the five Class Notes turn careers into triviality, the attempt to commemorate death into six lines inevitably reduces all life to absurdity. You served in the war, then there was that stint as Kiwanis chairman. You leave behind a grandkid or fifteen. This listless mortal coil is what you get if you’re lucky. The worst of the notes was the obit entry whose
entire life couldn’t be summed up in four lines, could barely fill out a sentence: “Thomas W. Barefield ’62 of Tucson, Ariz., on Dec. 11, 2000.” That’s it, the final dedication to the institution where his adult life blossomed. The same fate, once removed, for some poor sod whose 1996 obit notice came, six years late, unsigned and devoid of any detail. And worst of all is the rare death note of alumni who have not yet even had the chance to chalk up any assorted blurbable achievements—like Carrie Shoemaker B.S.E. ’OO, the victim of a hit-and-run. It doesn’t take much to explode that final illusion that at least we’ll have many decades before our faceless names start popping up in the purple. This maddening and useless anxiety festered during my hours ofClass Notes. But a single break in the clouds can brighten the world. Like the Bourlands. Mary Martin Bourland ’5l and William L. Bourland ’5l, M.D. ‘55 fell in love at Duke. He would have his pledges serenade outside her East Campus dorm; she would sing back from the window. They married, moved to Florida and dutifully served their small community. When she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, their final note said, they were still in love and not yet ready to part. On Jan. 1, they took their lives together in their home. The Bourlands’ story doesn’t belong in Class Notes; style protocol would demand that the cause of death be tactfully left out and that they be listed separately. But the crime against their memory would be too great. The couple’s lives were clouded with all the humble anonymity that made Class Notes so unbearable. But in death, they’ve become so real that imagination isn’t needed, and couldn’t do them justice anyways. And so there it is in eight lines, the rare moment of truth among all those useless facts, where the very banality of life seems like poetry.
Greg Bloom is a Trinity senior. His column appears every third Tuesday.
