Duke releases Sept. 11 plan Memorial services, forums to mark 1 year anniversary By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

As the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks approaches, the University has announced its plan to commemorate the day with what it calls a somber and respectful tone. At the center of the University’s memorial efforts is the ringing of the Chapel bell, which will toll once for each event that occurred on Sept. 11 at the exact time those events occurred and once for each of the six alumni who died in the attacks. A symposium in the evening with a panel of professors will close the anniversary, for which multiple

groups have planned events throughout the day. “The tolling of the bells is a powerful symbol using the most powerful physical symbol we have on campus,” Provost Peter Lange said. “It’s very telling.” President Nan Keohane, whose idea it was to strike the bell, said the University’s ceremonies would be understated, following the tone of what the U.S. government is planning. “As we watched the respectful and almost somber tone of the World Trade Center evacuations, we decided that was the

ernment Relations. Class will go on during the

day, but the University is encouraging professors to dedi-

cate their classes to discussion of Sept. 11. “We did not cancel classes at the time of the event, and we decided not to this year, as well,” Bumess said. Also, like last year, there will be a forum at 7 p.m. held in the Terry Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy for the University community to come together to discuss the event.

Campus Jewish life sees change By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

As the Jewish High Holidays fast approach, an established center and a new organization are preparing to cater to Jewish students. The Freeman Center for Jewish Life has experienced the arrival of both a new executive director and an interim rabbi, as well as the creation of a Kosher dining plan offered to all students on campus. Meanwhile, Chabad, an international Jewish organization, has established itself at the University. “These past two months have been very exciting,” said Jonathan Gerstl, the new executive director of the FCJL. “Now that the students are back, the work

really begins.” Gerstl said his focus since taking over the position July 1 has been getting the new Kosher dining plan—which offers five meals a week to any student—off the ground. Twenty-four students have signed up for the plan so far, and Gerstl said he thinks more students will soon come on board.

“We’re really pushing that this is a place to eat on campus that just happens to be Kosher. We have Chinese food, Indian food and Mexican food, and it’s all-

you-can-eat,” Gerstl added. Another major change at the FCJL is the hiring of Rachel Nussbaum, Trinity ’97, a third-year rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Nussbaum will serve as an interim replacement for Rabbi Bruce Seltzer, who left the center last spring. The center is not currently looking for another

full-time rabbi, however. Nussbaum traveled to Durham for orientation, and plans to return for the High Holidays and major holidays and more than ten other times throughout the year. She is also reachable at anytime on a hotline. “We will always be evaluating what our needs are,” Gerstl said. “The question is, do we need a rabbi all the time? This might be a great model.” Hillel President Jenny Bell said Nussbaum has been a terrific addition to the Center. “She is very familiar with the Duke campus, and See JEWISH LIFE on page 7

Quads start to feature more academics By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

As all sophomores settle into West Campus and quads begin to see the first of their facelifts, one component remains more in the minds than in the concrete plans ofthose polishing the new quad-based residential system: the academics. Long-touted as a central component of reforming residential life, efforts to bring more academics into the dorms are finding some success through new computer clusters, tentative Sunday night quad dinners with faculty, and graduate student mentors. “It’s a chance to transform residential life from what hasn’t been a particularly academic arena into something more,” Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin said. “I hope students will take learning home with them.” Campus Council will play a large role in academic quad programming by working with Assistant Dean of

Officials indict suspected terrorists A suspected sleeper cell in Detroit might point to other remaining operatives By DANNY HAKIM

New York Times News Service

•

DETROIT The government indicted four Arab men in federal court

Wednesday, saying that they were part of a terrorist cell operating in the Detroit area and were planning attacks in the United States, Jordan and Turkey.

The men functioned as a support group for terrorist activity and a “sleeper operational combat cell,” the indictment said. The cell’s mission was to obtain weaponry and intelligence and establish a support network for terrorist activity, including mail drops and safe houses as well as fake driver’s licenses, passports and Social Security cards.

In addition, three of those indicted worked at the Detroit airport. They were taken into custody shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, though one was freed for a time. The group also was said to be trying to recruit members and help other operatives enter the country illegally. Wednesday in Seattle, the government indicted a Muslim man on charges of conspiring to help al-Qaeda and trying to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.

At the same time, German prosecutors brought charges against a Moroccan man accused of supporting members of the Hamburg cell suspected of helping to plan and carry out the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

One senior law enforcement official in Washington described the indictments in Detroit as significant in that they confirmed warnings of counterterrorism officials that there were people within the United States who are directly involved in helping global terrorists. Another official said that the Detroit indictments were not coordinated with the one in Seattle. Three of the men indicted in Detroit, all foreign nationals, lived there or in nearby Dearborn, Mich., at various times, a region that is one of the nation’s most concentrated population centers of Arab Americans.

Khatami requests expansion of power By NAZILA FATHI

New Vork Times News Service

TEHRAN, Iran Iran’s president, Mohammad Khatami, said Wednesday that hard-line clerics had made it all but impossible for him to do his job and that he would propose legislation to adjust the balance of power so that he could pursue reforms. Khatami’s statement amounted to a clear expression of frustration with the clerics who hold most real levers of power and have thwarted a president elected twice on promises to open the economy and usher in greater civil liberties. “I am announcing today that the president must have the power to perform his duties within the framework of the Constitution,” he said at a news conference. “We cannot speak of democracy if we are not ready to play by its rules,” he added. “The main aspect of democra-

cy is the right of people to change a government if they do not like it.” The president acknowledged that dialogue with the hard-liners had proved fruitless so far, and his challenge Wednesday suggested a new willingness to confront them more forcefully. It seems certain to' intensify a long power struggle in the country. Khatami said he would seek to bolster his powers through Parliament, where his supporters hold a majority and his proposals seem certain to pass. But any such changes can be blocked by a religious panel called the Guardian Council, which has turned back reforms before, though never proposals ho sweeping.

Conner delays Panuccio takes over Union reins police decision This is the fourth story in a five-part series profiling various student leaders this year.

By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

As six months stretch into seven, the search for Durham’s next chief of police still appears to have no end in sight. City Manager Marcia Conner had said Monday she would announce her decision yesterday to either permanently appoint Interim Chief Steve Chalmers or reopen the search. The City Council did not convene, but members waited by their phones to hear what many hoped would end the search. However, the only call they received was one informing them that Conner’s decision had been delayed. “Considering we’ve been waiting for eight months, it would seem she’d be able to make a decision right now,” said Council member John Best. Best expressed disappointment at the delay, but said he assumes Conner had a good reason. “It’s more anxiety than anger,” he said. Council member Thomas Stith echoed this sentiment of anticipation. “We need to have some closure on this aspect as soon as possible just to give the community an idea of where we are headed,” he said. Conner attended a closed meeting with the Council Monday, after which she announced that Chalmers was back in the running. Conner had previously disqualified him for being “untruthful” about a 1982 domestic violence arrest. Documents in a divorce case and a custody case filed in Durham County District Court showed Chalmers’ wife alleged a pattern of physical and mental abuse by him during their marriage from 1978 t0*1989, according to the News & Observer of Raleigh. Chalmers has denied the allegations.

Clarification A page 3 article in the Aug. 23 edition ofThe Chronicle stated that an alleged robbery and sexual assault in Erwin Square was omitted from maps on a new website trdfcking crime near campus. The reported attempt did not appear on the website’s maps because the robbery allegedly took place when the suspect forced the victim to drive to an automated teller machine, and therefore Durham police classified the crime as occuring in downtown Durham. The website does not include maps ofcrime in downtown.

learned a lot about leadership there.” Luckily for Panuccio, the Union—which consists of 10 individual committees, such as Cable 13, WXDU, Freewater Productions, On Stage and Major Attractions—is on much steadier ground. Under former president Brady Beecham’s leadership, the Union reemerged last year as a major force in programming on campus, with popular events like a campus-wide scavenger hunt and bands in Armadillo Grill.

readying for a full plate of programming this fall. “Jesse and Brady were a terrific team last year, and they worked so closely together that he was really groomed to step in and take over,” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said. “It’s really been a seamless transition.” Moneta said Panuccio’s experience in New York honed his exposure to the arts, and he should be able to bring some ofthat to campus.

Massive grave discovered in northern Afghanistan Warlord blocks inquiry into prisoner deaths By JOHN BURNS

New York Times News Service

KABUL, Afghanistan A statement issued by the government of President HamidKarzai last week dispensed with ambiguity in describing the deaths of as many as 1,000 Taliban and al-Qaeda prisoners last winter while being taken in airless shipping containers to a prison at Shibarghan in northern Afghanistan.

The deaths, and a mass grave near Shibarghan discovered this spring, appeared to be a “horrible atrocity that are a continuation of the bloody events that have gripped Afghanistan for the past two decades,” the statement said. It pledged the support of the U.S.-backed government for any investigation into “this and other similar atrocities.” But if the government’s announcement sounded like a breakthrough in an issue that has been simmering for months, subsequent developments have made it clear that a full investigation of what happened to the prisoners may still be a long way off. Even the United Nations, which sent forensic experts to the grave site at Dasht-e-Leili for a preliminary investigation in May, now says

is the ethnic Uzbek strongman who controls much of northern Afghanistan while holding the largely nominal positions of deputy defense minister and vice president in Karzai’s government. It was Dostum’s troops who oversaw the transport of the prisoners who appear to have ended up at Dasht-e-Leili. His troops control the territory around the grave site. Although Dostum has promised to help any investigation, he has taken no steps to begin one and has ordered no special security at Dasht-e-Leili. For months, the only inhibition to tampering with the site has come from UN. officials who have periodically visited it from their regional office in Mazar-e-Sharif. “We are talking about a potentially enormous war crime,” said Leonard Rubenstein, the executive director of Physicians for Human Rights, Wednesday.

ELIZABETH DOLE speaks to supporters at a campaign stop late last year as junior Laura Howard looks on. The Duke graduate is campaigning for Jesse Helms’ U.S. Senate seat.

Dole plans campaign rally From staff reports Elizabeth Dole, Woman’s College ’5B and candidate for one of North Carolina’s U.S. Senate seats, will hold a campaign rally in Page Auditorium at 3 p.m. this afternoon. Dole graduated with distinction from Duke and went on to earn law and government degrees from Harvard University. Her government career included stints as U.S. Secretary of Transportation under President Ronald Reagan and U.S. Secretary of Labor under President George H. W. Bush. Throughout the 19905, she worked as President of the American Red Cross, traveling to places such as Somalia and Kuwait on humanitarian relief missions. Dole sought the Republican presidential nomination for the 2000 election, becoming one of the first major female candidates for the office. Her husband, retired Senator

Robert Dole, is also a former presidential candidate. Dole favors the elimination of the “death tax,” a tax on the estates of the deceased, and also favors making permanent Bush’s tax relief plan, passed last year. She also advocates trade laws to protect North Carolina’s manufacturing base and the creation of flexible grants that would allow workers displaced by foreign competition to become more educated. Dole says she will argue for higher pay and better benefits for military personnel and for establishing more local control over public education. If she wins the Republican nomination Sept. 10, she will likely face Erskine Bowles in the general election, who once served as President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, or Dan Blue, a member of North Carolina’s General Assembly.

the attacks will be recognized with six chimes of the Chapel bells and by the planting of six trees in a simple ceremony outside the West-Edens Link. Duke Student Government, Army ROTC and other groups will sponsor a noon ceremony in front of the Chapel honoring those who serve the nation. The Chapel itself will be open all day and will host an interfaith service at 1 p.m. and a Catholic mass at 9 p.m. “If you had asked me last November how things would be a year later, I would have said life would never be the same,” Keohane said. ‘With the exception of how airports feel, things are far less different than I would have expected.”

The team concluded in May that the causes of death of the three male bodies it exhumed were “consistent with death due to suffocation.” Survivors have recounted that Dostum’s troops beat back attempts by truck drivers to pass water to the prisoners in the containers and to drive air holes through the metal walls with spikes. “I think we have a responsibility to find out what has happened, but our responsibility to the living has to have precedence,” Brahim told reporters Wednesday. “We cannot take the risk of putting anyone’s life in danger.” On the political issues involved, he said that countries emerging from conflict—he cited Chile

after the Pinochet era and South Africa after apartheid—had often placed the need for stability ahead of justice. “There are always decisions to be made about what can be done, and what cannot be done,” he said. Questions about what happened to the prisoners after they surrendered at the northern city ofKunduz last November are an issue for the United States, too, and not only because it was US. military power that toppled the Taliban and opened the way for a new government in Kabul that has committed itself to democracy and human rights.

Before and after the surrenders at Kunduz, US.

Special Forces units played a pervasive role in advising and coordinating the Northern Alliance troops of which Dostum’s units were a major part. In the Pentagon’s fullest statement yet on the issue, Gen. Peter Pace, vice chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Monday in Washington that an internal review conducted by the US. military had turned up no evidence that US. troops were in any way involved in what happened at Shibarghan. The general said that if the Pentagon were asked by the Kabul government to help with an investigation, “we’ll make a proper determination at that time of what kind of support they’re asking for and what kind of support would be given.”

The arrival of Chabad, a Lubavitch group that comprises over 3,000 affiliated centers around the world as well as centers at over 60 universities in the United States, will serve to complement the FCJL and create a greater sense of Jewish community at Duke, Chabad’s Rabbi Zalman Bluming said. “There will be many programs that Chabad and FCJL will work with each other on,” Bluming said. “Our goal is to reach out to every single Jew Zalman Bluming and promote Jewish awareness and give them the ability to explore the richness and depths of their heritage in an academic setting.” The group will host a welcome Shabbos Aug. 30 and Rosh Hashanah services Sept. 6 to 8 in Von Canon Hall in the Bryan Center. Jared Dinkes, a second-year graduate student in political science and the first president of the Duke chapter of Chabad, said the organization brings a unique approach to Judaism, as it emphasizes spirituality and academics. Chabad will also hold an orthodox minyan Friday nights. “I’m a very big supporter of the Freeman Center... and of [the local synagogue] Beth El,” said Dinkes, who participated in Chabad as an undergraduate at Bingington University. “I had a fear that sometimes when organizations start up anew the transition isn’t smooth. I wanted to make sure that Chabad got off on the right foot.” .

TERROR CELL from page 2 lived in Chicago and was said to have expertise in airport security and producing fake identification documents. The man in Chicago sent instructions to the other men in code, according to the indictment, and received money from men in Europe he referred to as “the brothers.” The authorities do not know the man’s full name, and he is not in custody. The three Detroit-area men were first taken into custody within days of the Sept. 11 attacks, when federal agents raided an apartment belong to Nabil Al-Marabh, a Kuwaiti who is now in custody in Batavia, N.Y., and who federal officials contend has ties to al-Qaeda. Among the discoveries in the apartment was videotape with surveillance footage of Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the indictment said. Previously known to have been found in the apartment were a sketch of an airbase in Incerlik, Turkey, used by American forces, notes referring to the “American foreign minister,” and audio tapes preaching jihad. A hospital in Amman, Jordan was also said to be a target of a potential attack. The men charged Wednesday, under an indictment issued by a federal grand jury, included the three taken into custody at Al-Marabh’s apartment: Karim Koubriti, 24, and Ahmed Hannan, 34, both Moroccans, and Farouk Ali-Haimoud, 22, an Algerian. All men were charged with providing material support or resources to terrorists and conspiracy to engage in fraud and misuse of visas. All four, except Abdella, were also charged with fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents, as well as fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents and information. A fifth man previously involved in the case, Youssef Hmimssa, was not charged. Hmimssa is a Moroccan whose picture was found on a fraudulent identity document in Al-Marabh’s apartment. Kevin Ernst, Ali-Haimoud’s lawyer, said in an interview that Hmimssa had agreed to cooperate with federal investigators. Ernst said his client was not part of any terrorist cell and that Hmimssa had unfairly implicated AliHaimoud to save himself. Charges against Ali-Haimoud, relating to possessing fraudulent identification documents, had previously been dropped before Wednesday.

Farrar First-Rate on ThirdShiftGrottoSlack rather jaw about than 1994's fabled split between and collaborators Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar—and their post-breakup rebounds, Wilco and Son Volt, respectively. Like a high-profile divorce, fans just can't separate these two despite their decidedly successful remarriages. Earlier this year, Tweedy's Wilco scored big with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, an instant classic that impressed with its unconventional flash, enthusing the alt-country faithful. Meanwhile, Son Volt has all but dropped off the radar screens. The group hasn't cut an album since 1998—but that doesp't mean that frontman Farrar is washed up. In fact, his innercowboy has sent him away from the herd once more on ThirdShlftGrottoSlack, a five-song solo EP that proves he doesn't even need a supporting cast. Actually, ThirdShift is comprised of four cuts originally written for last year's Sebastapol, his first solo project, as well as a newly tweaked version of Farrar's "Damn Shame." Make no mistake —they might be the leftovers, but they sure aren't rejects, especially the haunting wisps of "Greenwich Time"

Modest and unassuming, ThirdShift rolls along with dusty twang and folksy, sturdy guitar strums, while Farrar's raw, nasally vocals evoke Neil Young's and...well, Uncle Tupelo's Even though it's not a competition, Jay Farrar proves with ThirdShift that there's still a lot of life left in the other half of a legendary duo. By sticking to a simple sound and impressive songwriting skills, he counters his former bandmate's effort nicely. Wilco might have taken the high road, but Farrar chose the dirt road, and it turned out to be a beautiful ride —David Walters

The

final nail has yet to be pushed into the wooded casket but the demise is imminent: Duke's on-campus social scene is effectively dead. Occassionally fraternities can jump through enough administrative hoops to throw a raucous bash or Central Campus parties can attract enough people to make a dent on the University's social compass. Nevertheless, the lion's share of activity now takes place in Durham and down 15-501 in Chapel Hill. Anticipating a potential burnout of social options in those cities and delving into a local and largely untapped resource, Recess traveled to the last point of the Triangle Saturday night, as editors Meg Lawson and Greg Veis spent an evening in Raleigh. A 30-minute drive from campus at night, Raleigh offers many more nightlife attractions than either of the other two cities —most of which Duke students have been loathe to visit. Until now, of course. With this guide that will help you navigate through one night in the Capital City the reasons to stay on campus instead of being socially adventurous are dwindling. Meg's take on the destinations are in red, and Greg's are in blue. Let the festivities begin: V

No spicy chili plus all the gastrointestinal side effects equals a mediocre experience.

The First Week of the Theater Season it's often hidden, Duke's on-campus theater community is one of the nation's strongest among liberal arts colleges, ranging from facultydirected shows with lush production values to plays borne of pure studentrun energy. Two of Duke's most prevalent theater groups, Duke Players, an arm of the Department of Theater Studies, and Hoof 'n' Horn, the South's oldest studentrun musical theater organization, use a variety of means to attract new membership. After all, with turnover at least every four years, fresh blood is always needed Hoof 'n' Horn, in preparation for "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," its first production of the year opening October 17, presented an energetic cabaret of songs from previous shows. The cast rehearsed most of the numbers the day of the show, and despite some problems with pitch and a few misplaced dance steps, won over a mostly freshman house. Driven by enthusiasm and shameless playing to the crowd, numbers from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and The Who's Tommy were especially strong Hosting the show were Hoof 'n' Horn membership chairs David

As freshman continued to trickle in, past cast members performed numbers from Godspell, Kiss Me, Kate, Grand Hotel and even Muppet Treasure Island. The hosts expressed satisfaction with the energy of the audience. "It's great to perform for people who will someday be leaders of the organization," Beckmann said. He added that showing off the group's strongest numbers was a great way to ensure the future of the theatrical group. Duke Players will also be presenting a slice of its student talent next week, with a showing of Christopher Durang's The Actor's Nightmare in 209 East Duke. Running Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and under the direction of sophomore Amit Mahtaney, the comedy features a student cast and idiosyncratic humor typical of its playwright.

The Good Girl's helping hands Jennifer Aniston couldn't have done it alone. Sure, Mrs. Pitt's performance in The Good Girl won rave reviews, a Sundance standing ovation and the cover of August Vogue. But could the girl have been so good without a little help? I doubt it. That's why it's imperative to recognize the film's-excellent supporting cast full of potential breakout stars. Deserving first mention is the man behind the woman, Jake Gyllenhail. As Holden, Jen's misanthropic mister, he brings just the right mix of mischief and angst to the part, making his screen time both hilarious and sad. Gyllenhall is

so exciting, he even allows the audience to overlook the constant Catcher in the Rye refereces polluting both his character name and the

film in general. Also praiseworthy is Zooey Deschanel, who actually is named after a J.D. Salinger character from Franny and Zooey. As the drugstore makeup artist Cheryl, she finds perverse pleasure in making her customers look as bad as possible. Seschanel had a small part in the indie darling Mumford and played William's rebellious older sister in the Cameron Crowe classic Almost

Famous. She's equally great, and equally underused, in this film. To be fair, Jennifer Anison did deliver a terrific performance. It's just hard to suspend reality and believe that this is a woman who hates her life, especially since the girl is married to Brad-freakin'-Pitt. It's certainly easier to believe the new kids, especially since they deliver the goods on screen. Go see The Good Girl and keep an eye out for Jake and Zooey. It's possible that it won't be long before they become... well, the next Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. —Fa ran Krentcil

Here's a shocker; Popular icons may be more invention than individual; at times they aren't real at all. Sorry to ruin Simone's punchline for you, but you've already seen it all in the trailer and seen it for yourself enough times outside of the cineplex. While reiterating this theme already so

fixed in our minds, Simone writer/producer/director Andrew Niccol (The Truman Show, Gattaca) earns few points for originality here. Simone, however, takes the pretense of classic fake-brought-to-life tales such as Pinocchio and last year's At: Artificial Intelligence a step further by showing how we can manufacture celebrities by literally creating the world's most famous icon out of computer pixels. Simone, deemed a "synthes- GRADE; pian" by the downtrodden proQ. grammer (Elias Koteas) who created her, is a blonde goddess born out of computer code that mixes and matches features of Hollywood's all-time greatest beauties. Think: a little Audrey here, a little Sophia there. However, unlike those she was programmed to emulate who basked in the paparazzi glow, Simone's greatest allure is her complete lack of availability for photo opportunities and interviews—a gag rehashed over and over again in a fit of dramatic irony that grows real old, real quick. Yes, appearances can be deceiving. Model/actress Rachel Roberts looks gorgeous in the role of the animated Simone. And while one would think Al Pacino's lead performance would carry such a film, it doesn't. Even the movie that piqued my interest from the preview and lost my interest by the ending credits succeeds in proving that films—much like their stars—are sometimes not as wonderful as they may appear.

Fifth-seeded Dokic out at U.S. Open WNBA Finals tip off in New York By LYNN ZINSER

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK Everywhere Jelena Dokic looked to safely deposit a point, Elena Bovina seemed to get in the way. Bovina, rushing the net and dictating the match, blocked every route for Dokic except the exit. The fifth-seeded Dokic found herself on the wrong end of the biggest upset of the U.S. Open so far. Bovina, 19, distinguished herself from a crowd of talented young Russians here by knocking out Dokic, 6-3, 6-2, in the second round Wednesday afternoon on Arthur Ashe Stadium court. Dokic, also 19, broke down in tears after retreating to the players lounge, but turned philosophical after taking a while to think about it. “Sometimes you can play a player who just plays too good,” Dokic said. “It doesn’t mean that if I lost to her today that’s a bad loss.” Tommy Haas, seeded No. 3, staved off what would have been a bad loss, outlasting unseeded David Sanchez of Spain, 7-6 (1), 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5. Sanchez started cramping during the match, much as Nicolas Kiefer did in Tuesday’s marathon against second-seeded Marat Safin. Haas, battling an arm injury that has plagued him for several months, double faulted three times in a row to give away two match points while he was serving for the match in the fifth. After three deuces, Haas used two good serves to finally win the match after more than 3 1/2 hours. Starting the day, the upset watch was focused on the four-time Open champion Pete Sampras, who has not won a tournament in two years and lost in the first round of the Hamlet Cup last week in Commack, N.Y. But Sampras pushed aside that idea, dismissing Albert Portas of Spain, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4, on Arthur Ashe court before anyone could start thinking upset. “I block it out,” Sampras said. Tve done too much to hear all the negative stuff.” Still, Sampras acknowledged that his slide has changed the atmosphere. “It’s inevitable at a place where I’m at,” he said. “I’m not nearly as dominant. You hear rumbling here and there. You can’t let it faze you.” Top-seeded Serena Williams, playing her secondround match in the same attention-grabbing unitard she wore in the first round on Arthur Ashe court, rolled past Dinara Safina of Russia, 6-0, 6-1. In other early matches, 16th-seeded David

JELENA DOKIC shows her disappointment after being upset by unseeded Elena Bovina at the U.S. Open. Tuomas Ketola of Finland, losing only three games in a straight-sets romp. Silvia Farina Elia, seeded No. 13, and Anastasia Myskina, seeded No. 15, also advanced. For Dokic, the melodrama usually stems from her father and coach, Damir, who has been banned from tour matches because of his frequent outbursts. But she created her own on-court crisis this time while her father was home in Yugoslavia. Dokic played listlessly through the entire match, drawing comparisons to her recent performance at a tournament in Los Angeles when she lost 6-0, 6-2, to Chanda Rubin of Lafayette, La. Afterward, Rubin said she thought Dokic had

tanked the match. “I tried,” Dokic said of Wednesday’s match. “It was

just impossible.” Dokic has played an extremely heavy schedule this year: 20 tournaments before the Open. It has helped push her to the No. 4 ranking, but may have left her with little energy for the final major. Bovina, in contrast, has become stronger as the year progressed, using hitting sessions with John McEnroe and Brad Gilbert as confidence boosters this summer. McEnroe hit with her at both the French Open and Wimbledon and she spent two weeks with her coach, Joe Giuliano, at Gilbert’s house in Southern California late this summer.

of their own. The Liberty will begin their fourth title quest in six years tonight when they play the Sparks in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The bestof-three series then shifts to Los Angeles. “New York has a lot of veterans who feel they should have won a championship by now,” Sparks coach Michael Cooper said. “Madison Square Garden is the mecca ofbasketball. The crowd gives the Liberty a strong home court advantage from a coaching perspective, because the opposing coach can’t be heard over the crowd.” A raucous crowd of nearly 12,000 stood amid falling confetti after New York beat the Washington Mystics 64-57 Sunday, winning the last two games of the series to secure their third Eastern Conference title in four years. The victory had special significance for veterans

Teresa Weatherspoon, 36, Sue Wicks, 35, and Vickie Johnson, 30. It softened the memory of losing to Charlotte at home in the 2001 conference finals. “It was an awful offseason for us,” Weatherspoon said. “There were negative things said, that it was time to be separated, time to move on. But you put this same group together and look where we are—we’re back in the Finals.” While the Liberty needed three games to beat Indiana and Washington, the Sparks are more rested after a pair of 2-0 sweeps against Seattle and Utah. Los Angeles also set a WNBA playoff record for points with a 103-77 win over the Starzz in the Western Conference finals. Cooper said the key will be the teams’ inside play. “To win a championship, remembering last year and my years with the Lakers, the games are won in the paint,” Cooper said. “We are an inside team.” The Liberty will try to contain 6-foot-5 center Lisa Leslie, who is averaging 21 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 2.5 steals in the playoffs. In splitting their two regular-season meetings, Leslie was hampered by foul trouble in New York’s 72-59 win at the Garden. In the season opener, New York center Tari Phillips sat with fouls in the Sparks’ 72-64 win. “That’s the key,” New York coach Richie Adubato said. “We’re hopefully going after Leslie; they’re going after Tari. Everybody knows the value of each one.” Liberty forward Tamika Whitmore, at 6-2, and Phillips, at 6-1, are averaging a combined 32 points in the playoffs. Guarding Leslie will be their charge. “She’s a terrific player,” Whitmore said. ‘You have to at least try to meet her level or play above it. If you don’t do that, she’ll eat you alive.” While the Sparks led the WNBA in scoring during the season, the Liberty allowed the second-fewest points per game. “They are a very physical team,” Leslie said. “But I think we are the kind of team that can adjust if it’s physical, or a running game, or playing tough defense

and execute our set offense.” The Sparks have the height advantage in the backcourt as well. Liberty guard/forward Vickie Johnson, at 5-9, will give up a few inches to guard Tamecka Dixon and forward Mwadi Mabika. Johnson turned up the offense in the final two games against the Mystics, finishing 7-for-8 from

If you hit me with an elbow, I’m going to absorb it and come back at you with the same thing.” Adubato will put his 40 years of coaching experience, including 19 in the NBA, to good use. Although he has yet to guide the Liberty to a championship in three trips, he knows what it takes to win one. “We have to take away their transition game, because they’ll run you right out of the arena,” he said. “We have to rebound with them and try to get them in a halfcourt game. We need to execute our offense to precision.”

Sometimes those things are harsh,” the Brewers’ Mark Loretta said in Milwaukee. “It’s so hard to try to explain to people what the issues are when you’re talking about those kinds of dollars and this kind of industry, and the fans are in the middle ofit.” Just in case there is a strike, some Cleveland players gave the clubhouse attendants their season-ending tips Wednesday. The White Sox, also off Thursday, might have ended their season with Wednesday’s 8-0 win over Toronto. “We’re packing our bags for Detroit. It doesn’t feel like the last game,” Chicago’s Paul Konerko said. “Even if there is a strike, it will probably only last a couple of days.”

BULLS from page 9 saw to end the inning and keep the game knotted at one. “Fundamentally, we did some real good things tonight,” Bulls head coach Bill Evers said. “We got our bunts down and got some big hits.” In the first game of the doublehead-

er, the Bulls prevailed 2-1 due to heroics from Rocco Baldelli and Damian Rolls. Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the 7th,

Baldelli tied the game with an RBI triple. Rolls then whacked a single into center field to bring in Baldelli and the victory for Durham. “We had a chance to fold in the first one, but we pulled it out,” Evers said. Evers credited consistent play as the key to the Bulls’ back to back wins, the beginning of a seven-game homestand that will take them through the end of the season. Durham plays the first game in a pivotal series when they square off against the Richmond Braves tonight at 7 p.m. The Bulls currently hold a two-game lead on Richmond in the International League RYAN FREEL had three hits in five at-bats against Norfolk Wednesday.

The Chronicle

PAGE 14 � THURSDAY. AUGUST 29 2002

The Chronicle Stealing our steel

Tuesday, the U.S. International Trade Commission voted against imposing new tariffs on countries accused of dumping steel into the United States. The decision follows President George W. Bush’s announcement last week that the administration will allow hundreds of exemptions to a different set of steel tariffs that went into effect this past March. While these decisions fight protectionism, they do not go far enough. The argument for free trade is extraordinarily simple, but some people just don’t get it. Since multiple countries produce multiple goods, it is inefficient for any one country to produce all goods. Therefore, countries can improve their welfare by specializing in producing those goods in which they have a comparative advantage and then trading with other countries to get all the necessary materials. This is exactly what individuals do when they get a job doing one thing and then trade the money they earn to purchase other products they do not make. Tariffs and its cousins quotas and subsidies, stifle trade. As a result, tariffs ensure that every country, both the country with the tariff and the countries exporting goods, is worse off. Protectionism generally hurts everyone, wealthy and poor alike, lowering the standard ofliving and resulting in relative poverty. Some argue that anti-dumping legislation, which prevents a foreign company from selling goods at below-cost to comer the market and then increase the price later, justifies protection. These people are wrong. The method in which the government calculates the below-cost is highly suspect and does not present an accurate picture of when or whether dumping is occurring. In the case of steel, the chance that over 20 countries are involved in some sort ofoligopoly dumping their goods in the United States is highly unlikely. Some also argue that steel protection is necessary for national defense. This is an bad argument. Although the United States undoubtedly does need steel for defense, how likely is it that over 20 countries will form an axis of evil to keep steel out ofthe United States? In any case, the domestic steel industry could always revitalize itself or existing steel could be converted to weapons if the need for defensive steel was so great. While protectionism does protect jobs in the steel industry, the overall cost to society is huge. Protectionism leads to higher prices for all goods made out of steel, including automobiles and appliances, hurting consumers and causing lost jobs in steel-using industries. It is more efficient for the government to eliminate steel tariffs and then support steel workers with income transfer payments. Such workers can also find jobs in other industries, where their work will be more efficient and their pay higher. Supporters of steel tariffs are condemning steel workers and their children to dead-end, dangerous, inefficient and low-paying jobs. Bush’s reason for instituting steel tariffs is clear; He wants to win votes in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and since the benefits ofsteel tariffs are concentrated among steel unions whereas the benefits from free trade are dispersed among all people everywhere, there is political pressure to prevent trade. But even if there is political pressure against tariffs, Bush should show the political courage to stand up for what is right for the United States and the rest of the world: free trade.

The University’s out-

It only saddens me that while these superficial, material movements are not yet complete, and do leave room for such criticism, the magical privileges that we all experience as Duke students still go relatively unnoticed—nights in Kville, the brilliant minds of our professors, the unending beauty of our physical surroundings here on campus and the special relationships that we all form with the dynamic, unique people that we meet here, along with countless other entries.

Meet DSG Welcome back to Duke University and congratulations to the Class of 2006! This is going to be a great year. Your student government has already hit the ground

running, and we have a lot in store for you. Our Executive Board and Cabinet members have returned with excitement and enthusiasm, ready to better serve you. Before I tell you about specific goals and objectives, I would like to share some history with you. Over the summer the University experienced many changes. The West-Edens Link was completed with the introduction of two new eateries, Rick’s Diner and Blue Devil Beanery. Construction began on both the new parking deck and the new engineering building. The two most significant changes are the addition 0f350 more students to West Campus and having all sophomores on West. I spent the summer here in Durham taking classes and getting student government prepared for a very productive year. While here, I held eight summer advisory meetings. The topics of these meetings included parking and facilities, residential fife, a tour of the WEL under construction, academic integrity, Bryan Center renovations, development of a student village, Perkins Library renovations, Duke’s social scene on and off campus, the experience of undergraduate women and race, ethnicity, and religion. The meetings brought administrators, faculty members and students together to discuss these topics and how they impact our University. I also worked on several projects over the summer. Two in particular are coming to fruition: The New York Times and USA Today readership program and an undergraduate internal student portal website. The first project is the campus-wide distribution ofThe New York Times and USA Today Newspapers. Through a collaborative effort between Duke Student Government and the administration, Duke undergraduates will soon have the ability to grab a free copy of either The New York Times, USA Today or Herald-Sun from six DukeCard-managed machines. The machines will be spread throughout campus, with locations including the Bryan Center, Cambridge Inn, WEL tower, the Marketplace and two Central Campus bus stops. The full-fledged readership program will begin the second week of October. There will be a trial run in order to gauge the demand for the papers as of the second week of September. The University will not simply continue to hand out free newspapers to students. It will be up to all of us as students to convince the administration to continue to distribute these newspapers by coming up with innovative ways to incorporate their use into our daily academic fives. Two ways that this can be done are by developing new house courses that use these papers as a base for the course or coming up with formalized dinner discussions or open debates about current issues. I know that the best source of ideas will come from you, and I invite you to share your thoughts with me. We have one year to convince the administration to continue this program. The student internal portal site will give students easy access to all heavily used online student resources, such as Blackboard, ACES web, e-mail access, Merchants on Points menus, OIT and library resources. This is still a project in the works. We hope that we will have it complete and ready to use by the beginning of second semester or, if possible, by mid-first semester. There is a lot more to come from DSG this year. Now that we have our executive officers and cabinet members here, we will be working on producing tangible results for you. This brings me to my final point ofthis column. Our new administration is excited to serve you. We are searching and strongly encouraging all students who have this same desire to join our team. DSG is only as strong and as powerful as our members. If you want to get involved, I strongly encourage you to run for office. Election packets can be found in the DSG office or online

University must face up to its racism Duke is one of America’s most diverse universities. It has been priding itself on this concept of diversity and in the process has denied responsibility for mL how racist this £ A* £ University is. It’s ~

ming and diversity. Those of us who have been here for more than a year can see these things visibly on campus. It is rather an ahistorical refusal to remember a racist past and acknowledge a racist present. Most white middle-and upperclass Duke students come here and never have to face issues of racism. They never end up hanging out with a diverse group. The way that Duke as an institution functions, including academics, has a lot to do with that. It is reflected in housing policies, Eurocentric classes, a lack of diversify among professors, all-white organ-

prejudice backed with power. The concept that our academic departments offer objective courses that teach us the facts or offer all sides of an issue is one that helps to define what the facts and the issues are. Why doesn’t the economics department offer alternatives to global capitalism? Why does the philosophy department only consider European and American writers as philosophers? Why can’t we get ethnic studies or Asian American studies on campus? One ofthe reasons is that white is the norm. All of these absences seem ordinary to us because they have been absent all our lives. We are initiated into white culture in away that assumes such a culture to be natural. It is not that these problems are unsolvable, but that they are not considered problems by the majority at Duke. Some would consider the

traditional social science and humanities departments as objective disciplines that simply organize knowledge and relay it to students. However, the disciplines themselves are political institutions that operate izations, towards employhttp://www.duke.edu/~wfs/LegislatorPacket2oo2. disrespect at They are due Wednesday, Sept. 4 by 5 p.m. Elections will ees and even in the topics covered by on different assumptions.

articles, authors and topics. Racism is imbedded in our education and we are encouraged not to notice, care or question it. As for Duke’s relationship with Durham, it is true that we do community service. We give presents to needy Durham residents during Christmas. We tutor in the public schools. We invite Durham kids to campus for carnivals and festivals. However, when it comes to paying a living wage, we fail. When it necessitates taking a political stance that would benefit the community, Duke often steps back. These things would make a real difference in the lives of Durham residents. Duke thinks it can ignore the power relations that exist between Duke and Durham by engaging in charity and occasional service activities. That is not enough. White people need to take responsibility for these realities. It is not okay to breeze through Duke without addressing white privilege, racism and how they are incorporated into our education and daily lives. We need to question our professors, our friends, our administrators and ourselves on white supremacy. Let’s not be afraid to talk about racism. We need to talk about it because there is no doubt that it exists here; in our dorms, classrooms, newspapers, dining halls, fraternity parties and the walls that separate Duke from Durham.
