For the second time in six months, Durham Regional Hospital has failed to meet quality standards for federal Medicare and Medicaid funding, according to a 45-page list of problems from the state’s Division of Facility Services. Nine state officials completed a full survey of the facility between Aug. 6 and Aug. 9 as a follow-up to a similar investigation conducted in March that also cited quality violations. Among the most serious claims in the report issued Sept. 4 to the hospital, which is administered by Duke University Health System, were insufficient management of a contract service providing kidney dialysis and problems with nursing care, a major issue in the last report. “Based upon the survey, problems were found both with nursing services as well as the governing body,” said Azzie Conley, assistant chief of licensure and certification of the state’s Department of Health and Human Services and a member of the investigative team. Conley noted several major problems with the hospital’s dialysis services, which are contracted out to Biomedical Applications of North Carolina, Inc., but

Campus Council New events mark Coming Out Week argues for access Coming Out Week By CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle

By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

Campus Council unanimously passed a resolution Thursday calling for all off-campus students to gain DukeCard access to West Campus residence halls between 9 a.m. and 2 a.m. The resolution came in reaction to a new University policy that prohibits off-campus students from entering dormitories. The policy came under scrutiny from off-campus residents, including selective living group members who were forbidden card entrance to their own on-campus sections. “Fm really happy that we were able to act quickly on it,” said senior Andrew Nurkin, president of Campus Council. “We really think that if Duke is going to be an inclusive community, all undergraduates are going to need to have access to the residence halls.” The final decision on DukeCard access still resides with administrators, but in Thursday’s council meeting, Nurkin read aloud an e-mail from Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta that expressed flexibility on the issue.

as well as increasing student awareness. “This is to show there are queer students on campus who are not being ignored. We also want to dispel some of the myths that are around,” said Jessica Rosario, chair of Coming Out Week. The bridge painting, beginning Sunday night at 10 p.m., is an annual kickoff to boost participant morale and support for the week’s events, Rosario said. “When you go into something like [Coming Out Week], especially in an ostracized community, you go into it apprehensive, so this is a feel good event,” she said. Organizers have also planned a “Kiss-In Lunch on the Quad,” where LGBT couples and straight supporters can gather together for a picnic-style lunch. Kissing is not required, but the intention is to provide a space where people can feel comfortable with public affection, Rosario said. The Kiss-In has been a part of Coming Out Week in previous years, but was not included last year. Organizers reinstated it this year to alter its AQUADuke’s focus from predominantly social issues to more political ones.

While it is widely known that acetaminophen is contained in pain relievers such as Tylenol, members of an advisory panel of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it is far less known that itis also in many popular cold

The concern about acetaminophen comes as the FDA has reported that the drug is responsible for 100 deaths annually and 13,036 annual emergency room visits nationwide as a result of unintentional overdoses. That does not include overdoses linked to suicide attempts. The deaths typically occurred because the overuse of acetaminophen caused liver damage.

Legislators plan for LIP-less year � Seeking to pool the resources of their younger colleagues, Duke Student Government leaders have replaced individual projects with committee-oriented work. By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

After a summer free from referenda, agendas and initiatives, Duke Student Government is scheduled to resume Saturday, when its 50 legislators—only 14

it were a commercial product. John Milbank, Francis Ball professor of philosophical theology at the University of Virginia, noted that there exists a chasm between public opinion in Europe and America. The rest of the world is less likely to accept America’s justifications of war, he said, pointing out that British Prime Minister Tony Blair faces sharp criticism over his support ofAmerica on the Iraq issue. Milbank also added that Bush has ignored other world leaders’ opinions.

of whom are returning members—will participate in an informal orientation before Wednesday’s first official meeting. But as the year begins, the group is looking to restructure the most basic part of its organization—the legislative individual projects, or LIPs. In past years, it was the job of the executive vice president or her appointee to approve LlPs—a project each legislator chooses to tackle for the semester. This year, however, each vice president will coordinate projects for their committees before turning them over to Justin Ford, this year’s DSG executive vice president, for approval. “For the first semester, the committee will be doing group LIPs,” said Ford, a senior. “It will be much more effective in achieving tangible results.... If there are 50 individuals doing smaller projects, there are a lot of bigger projects that can be accomplished if they work together.” If legislators are enthusiastic about coordinating their own project, Ford said, they will have the opportunity to develop a LIP when they have more experience. “Second semester, when they have to file another LIP proposal, that can be much more of an individual project,” he said. DSG President Joshua Jean-Baptiste said DSG’s executive board made the decision at a meeting earlier this semester, after discussing it at last semester’s retreat. “There’s a decent-sized learning curve that legislators have to go through in order to get projects accomplished,” said Jean-Baptiste, a senior. “It also helps the vice presidents get the goals done that they came up with in their campaigns. It provides more man-power for bigger objectives that the vice presidents share for the semester.”

Profs present dissent from academia By CHARLES LIN The Chronicle

In the shadow of President George W. Bush’s intense push for war with Iraq, a group of prominent panelists convened Thursday afternoon to discuss dissent against the policies and actions of the American government in the post-Sept. 11 world. Grant Paired, general editor of the South Atlantic Quarterly, convened the panel in the Griffith Film Theater to voice issues brought up in “Dissent from the Homeland: Essays after September 11th.”The special issue of the journal was published by Duke University Press and co-edited by Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe professor of theological ethics, and Frank Lentricchia, professor of literature. The panel, composed of contributors to the issue, touched on a diverse range of topics toward the current political environment, but Hauerwas set the tone early on. “The war on terrorism is not a war. There was a criminal act. You send police to deal with criminals, not B-525,” he said. Hauerwas went on to say that the initial sadness of

the situation has been lost, and that Americans have begun to dehumanize it, beset by what he called “inability to imagine the lives of the terrorists.” Other panelists stressed the growing concerns toward the over-commercialization of American patriotism. Susan Willis, associate professor of literature, displayed a fold out American flag printed in The Herald-Sun of Durham and promptly turned it around to reveal a backside filled with Labor Day ads. Speakers also added that the American government was attempting to sell the war on terrorism as if

New drug effective for tuberculosis � Using an experimental drug, rifapentine, the treatment cuts down a previously six-month regimen to one week. By JACQUELINE FOSTER The Chronicle

A disease that was once very difficult to cure may now have a more manageable treatment plan. The Duke Medical Center and the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center recently participated in a pulmonary tuberculosis treatment study performed at 23 clinical research facilities nationwide. Researchers tested a new tuberculosis regimen with an experimental drug, rifapentine. It remains in the body longer than previously used drugs, suggesting a possible once-a-week treatment for tuberculosis. “Current treatment for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis consists

of a six-month course of multiple medications,” said Dr. Jason Stout, a member of Duke’s infectious diseases department. Most patients are treated with four different medications at first; isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. For the last two months of treatment, therapy is given every day for two weeks, then twice a week for the remaining five and a half months, Stout said. All patients in the study received isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and either ethambutol or streptomycin during the first two months of treatment, which the researchers called the intensive phase. Patients were then either enrolled in a control group or an experimental group. The experimental group received a regimen of once-weekly rifapentine and isoniazid, while the control group received the standard twiceweekly regimen of rifampin and isoniazid. Researchers found that the patients given the once-weekly treatment regimen showed slightly higher relapse rates on average, but the once-weekly treatment was still considered safe and

effective.

Palestinian suicide bomber kills 5 on Tel Aviv bus Israeli military tanks surround Ramallah compound in retaliation as Cabinet denounces Arafat By STEVE WEIZMAN Associated Press

TEL AVIV, Israel A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up on a crowded Tel Aviv bus killing five other people Thursday, and Israeli tanks roared back into Yasser Arafat’s West

Bank compound. The violence snuffed out hopes that after a six-week lull the conflict was winding down. The nail-studded bomb scorched the bus and sent passengers fleeing out of shattered windows, as the vehicle lurched forward for 50 feet on the downtown boulevard, the driver’s burned body slouched over the wheel. Fortynine people were wounded. Hours later tanks moved in and fired in the direction of the Palestinian

leader’s battered office as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon convened his Cabinet in emergency session, fueling speculation about whether he intended to con-

fine Arafat to the building or perhaps to expel him from the West Bank. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though media reported conflicting claims from the militant Islamic Jihad and Hamas groups. The attack—along with a suicide bombing Wednesday that killed an Israeli policeman—ended a relative lull that lasted six weeks and raised hopes that two years

of violence might be winding down. The burst of violence came after Israel turned down a Palestinian offer for a phased cease-fire. In Gaza City early Friday, Israeli forces entered a mixed industrial-residential neighborhood and blew up three metal workshops, witnesses said. Two Palestinians, a 25-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, were killed by gunfire, doctors said. Nearby houses were damaged by the explosions. Israeli tanks were withdrawing from the

area before daybreak, residents said. The Israeli military had no immediate

comment. In the past, the Israelis have destroyed workshops where they said weapons were made. And in Abu Dis, a West Bank suburb of Jerusalem, Israeli bulldozers de-

stroyed the family homes of two Palestinians who killed 11 people and themselves in Jerusalem in a Dec. 1 bombing. Earlier Thursday, a 12-year-old Palestinian boy was killed in Ramallah when he broke an Israeli curfew to buy cigarettes for his father. Witnesses said he was shot by Israeli soldiers. The military had no comment. Hours after the Tel Aviv blast, tanks were sent into the Ramallah compound. The Israeli military said that “in response to the terrorist attack, Israeli forces surrounded the compound.” Soldiers with loudspeakers called on wanted Palestinians inside to

surrender, naming Tawfik Tirawi, a senior security commander, an Israeli official said. After its session, the Israeli Cabinet issued a statement blaming the violence on Arafat, “who established the coalition of terror.” It said operational decisions were made, but did not elaborate. Israel Radio said the Cabinet decided to isolate Arafat in his office and demand the surrender of wanted Palestinians inside. Sharon resisted calls to expel Arafat, saying such a measure would cause Israel political damage. Last spring, Israeli tanks confined Arafat to his office for nearly six weeks. Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a senior Arafat aide, said the Israelis were targeting Arafat and called for international intervention to stop the incursion. “Arafat is fine, but the situation in the compound is very dangerous,” Abu Rdeneh said.

DSG CHANGES from page 3

N.C. NEWS from page 5

Cliff Davison, vice president for facilities and athletics, said his committee set the trend for how DSG will be organized this year. “I went to Josh [Jean-Baptiste], and I said T’m not happy with how LIPs work,’” Davison said. “I think with the energy that Duke students bring, if we could collect just a few groups within the committee and work toward maybe two or three projects at the most, that would be much more beneficial than having 12 legislators do 12 individual projects and not really knowing what’s going on.” This semester, instead of LIPs, Davison said his committee will work in groups on what he calls committee action projects. Saving LIPs for the second semester will not only be more effective for the organization as a whole, but will also allow the 36 new legislators to grow accustomed to DSG, said senior Lyndsay Beal, vice president for academic affairs. “Often times you have people that have never really done DSG before, don’t really understand... what can be accomplished and what can’t,” Beal said. “In the fall, [the vice presidents] are trying to

Musharrafs regime should have handled the Taliban, should have handled al Qaeda before the attacks on America.” Later Wednesday, Bhutto spoke at the school’s fall convocation as part of a symposium on globalization. Bhutto, who served two terms as prime minister from 1988-90 and 1993-96, has lived outside Pakistan since 1999, refusing to return to face corruption charges. She saidWednesday the cases against her are politically motivated—but that she would be willing to return to her country if she were allowed to seek a third term as prime minister in elections planned next month.

provide them with options that we’ve seen and worked on before... so that they don’t have to just brainstorm their own projects that might or might not be feasible.” Returning legislators also applaud the decision to preface LIPs with group projects. “It doesn’t mean that upperclassmen who did DSG last year aren’t going to want to jump in and get involved,” said junior Avery Reaves. “A LIP is a lot ofresponsibility.

members. “No one will be reading their own stories,” Rosario said. “The intention is that someone very unlike you will be reading your story and that people from an outside [non-LGBT] organization will get an idea of what coming out is like.” Straight students are welcome at all events, especially the Coming Out Dinner, Assistant Director of Student Activities and AQUADuke Advisor Brian Denton said. “All the events are designed to heighten awareness of the LGBT community and the events are open to everyone,” he said. “The natural inclination is if AQUADuke is planning something, it is for AQUADuke members, but it’s been planned for any students that are identified with LGBT and [for] allies.” McLaughlin said he hoped the events give students who are not yet out some courage. “It will be good if people who are scared of coming out will come to stuff this week and have fun and be more comfortable about it,” he said. Freshman Kelly Chong, who was only “semi-out” before coming to Duke but is now fully out, hopes the week will have an impact on campus culture. “Duke is known as homophobic, so I’m hoping this will change,” she said. “I know it can’t happen overnight, but maybe gradually it will.”

Six counties and three municipalities sued the

state revenue secretary, saying they are owed money that was withheld by Guv. Mike Easley to help balance the budget. The local governments said it was unlawful for Easley to hold back inventory tax and intangible tax reimbursements and utility franchise taxes during the past fiscal year. The lawsuit, filed in Wake County Superior Court, seeks a judge to order state Revenue Secretary Norris Tolson to pay the local governments for their share of $334 million in payments held by Easley to narrow a $1.5 billion shortfall. The local governments who sued are Alamance, Cabarrus, Stokes, Caldwell, Davie and New Hanover counties and the towns of Valdese, Garner and Yanceyville. Other governments may eventually join the lawsuit as well, as they decide to pursue other funds from the state.

COMING OUT WEEK U I “While we’re trying to attract more acceptance on campus, we can’t ignore our political goal,” said junior Brian Barrera, president of AQUADuke. He said the event’s goal is to help people feel more comfortable with displays ofLGBT affection. “You can deal with the fact that [someone is] gay, but can you deal with seeing it?” Students will have an opportunity to see additional LGBT pride with the N.C. Pride Parade and Festival this Saturday on East Campus. This is the second year the parade has been held on campus. Junior Kyle McLaughlin will be participating in AQUADuke’s parade float for the first time, but she is not apprehensive. “I’m pretty much ‘out’ to the people I know and my parents so I’m not nervous,” she said. The main event of the week is the Coming Out Week Dinner, held in the Faculty Commons in the West Union Building. In the past, a prominent figure within the nationwide LGBT community has been invited to speak. This year, however, the organizers wanted to bring the focus closer to home, Rosario said. Participants will instead read the coming-out stories of LGBT students or community

Several factors are compared to previous years to determine a school’s improvement: scores on the end-of-year and end-of-course tests, the percent of students showing grade level competency, the number of students taking advanced and college-level courses, and the dropout rate. Eighteen schools were labeled low-performing, and five of them—all high schools—will receive help from the state’s assistance teams. Assistance teams include professional educators and university professors who are assigned to conduct a needs assessment judging criteria such as community involvement, staff members, leadership strength and teacher training to determine how to most effectively bring a school out of the low-performing category. “One of the first things teams do is talk to principals to find out the schools’ particular needs regarding resources, volunteers and mentors,” Williams said.

In addition to the assistant teams sent to the high schools, Phil Kirk, chair ofthe North Carolina Board of Education, said while currently there is more focus at the elementary level, future initiatives should place emphasis on high school education. “We can’t neglect any part of the equation,” he said. Officials are quick to point out the impact early education has on high school performance. One example is the high school dropout rate. “If students are better prepared early on, they’ll have more self-esteem and stay in school,” Williams said. The state’s official dropout statistics will be released in October, but predictions show a potential 30 percent decrease in dropouts throughout the state. This statistic, however, still leaves room for concern. “There are way too many, minority students particularly, dropping out,” Williams said, adding that counseling and working with parents are two ways the state plans to combat this problem. For now, officials are focused on the improvement they have made. Kirk links the ABCs to improved

SAT scores. “We’re ecstatic about the improvement in SAT scores and we think one of the reasons for improvement is that we’ve been able to get more students to take advanced classes,” Kirk said. Bert Uhomme, associate superintendent of curriculum for Durham public schools, said the county is now trying to target some ofits high schools’ weaknesses. “I think that we definitely would like to see improvement in our social studies curriculum at our high schools,” he said. “We’ve known this information for quite some time and we’re working with each social studies teacher to make sure they’re finishing the curriculum before the end of the school year and that the students have practice answering the kinds of questions that are on the end-of-grade test.” Overall, county officials were happy with Durham’s showing on the ABCs. “We were delighted with our performance,” L’homme said. “I think that we passed the state average but that’s not a concern of ours. Our concern is making sure every child learns to read, write and do math at grade level.”

OFF-CAMPUS SAFETY

neighborhood crime statistics provided by the Partners Against Crime program in District II of the Durham Police Department. Whether the available information is being utilized, however, is a different issue. “I might look into a neighborhood and decide it doesn’t look very safe and that I’m not going to move there,” Burness said. “There is some evidence that students don’t make those kinds of judgments.They want to live near campus, so they don’t do their homework to find out where there is more or less crime.” Lindsay Derman, a senior living off East Campus, said she considered safety when choosing an off-campus residence, but that cost was her primary concern. She also noted that she is not familiar with her neighbors. “You’re still part of the Duke bubble; it’s just that you’re off campus in the bubble,” Derman said. “We have very little contact with people who aren’t from Duke.” Assistant Director of Walltown Neighborhood Ministries Sylvia Hayes said the bubble mentality often prevents student-neighbor collaboration against crime. Until last year, Hayes lived in Walltown, an NPI target neighborhood just a few blocks off East Campus. Alex Niejelow, a junior, agreed that students should assume a central role in their own protection, but he said the University has not performed up to its potential in creating a safe off-campus environment. Niejelow, who spearheaded Duke Student Government’s safety initiatives last year, said the University has lagged in areas of strategic planning, especially in regard to properties surrounding East Campus.

Joseph Biden, D-Del., chairperson of the Foreign Relations Committee, said: “I’m sure the president isn’t specifically asking us for unilateral authority to move against Syria or Lebanon if there’s not peace on the Lebanese border. So what

does it mean?”

ically, he cited the lot on Markham Avenue and Broad Street, which was long vacant before a Dollar General opened there less than a month ago. “If we’re willing to take interest in the surrounding areas, then how could we let a pivotal comer—a main entrance to East Campus—sit vacant for two years and then go to a store like Dollar General?” Niejelow said. “By leaving something vacant, a criminal element can come in and take advantage ofthat. And there’s no way someone could show me that Dollar General is going to bring up property value or is going to support the clientele surrounding the Duke community;” In alluding to the economic factors behind his denouncement ofDollar General, Niejelow tapped one of the factors that Director of Community Affairs Michael Palmer said was crucial to cultivating a safe living environment—that is, the general stability of

the surrounding neighborhoods. “One ofthe things that helps stabilize neighborhoods is home ownership,” said Palmer, whose office runs the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative, a program that has renovated and sold dozens of homes to first-time homeowners. “Since we began offering homes with zero percent mortgages, the neighborhoods we work with are actually neighborhoods that are on the mend.” Hayes agreed, saying crime rates have dropped since property values started going up. Duke has also encouraged faculty and staff to take up residence in Trinity Heights, a development off East Campus. Niejelow lauded the program for connecting to Duke and making the area seem less foreign to students. Addressing Niejelow’s assertion that Dollar General will not improve the financial situations of the

Trent Lott of Miss., said the resolution was “very strong.” but added: “The president has made it clear he wants to have input from the Congress, and we’ll have to see what recommendations are made.” At the United Nations, Iraq’s foreign minister followed up his offer on Monday to re-admit international weapons inspectors by reading a letter from Saddam.

neighborhoods around East Campus, Palmer, Burness and Hayes said the store did not pose a threat to the stability of the surrounding communities. “You have to realize the type ofpeople that live in this community aren’t rich people,” Hayes said. “A lot of them don’t have cars, and they really like having Dollar General right there in walking distance.” Hayes added—and many students agreed—that the store may also appeal to thrifty college students. In response to the claim that Duke invited a criminal element into the neighborhood by allowing the lot to sit vacant for so long, Palmer said it is not University policy to embroil itself in community matters unless the community specifically requests such an action. “If you understand the politics of Durham, you’d know that you’d get blown out of the water if you went in with an initiative that said, ‘We’re going to come in here and fix your problems,’” Palmer said. “There’s a lot of pride in these neighborhoods.” Although Duke has taken a relatively passive stance regarding off-campus safety, Durham has taken several initiatives to increase security in neighborhoods such as Walltown, including improving lighting and cutting down vision-impairing trees. Also, for the past several years, PAC II and the Self-Help Credit Union have encouraged police officers to move into the neighborhood under a program similar to the University’s NPI. One officer bought a home in Walltown under the program in May 2001, another independently in May 2002. Although the first officer is no longer serving with the police force, there is a third officer currently considering home ownership under the PAC II program, a Self-Help official said.

DISSENT from page 3 “The Pope didn’t think this was a just war, [but] the entire American hierarchy overwrote this,” he said. Last year’s war in Afghanistan as well as the possible one with Iraq also sparked discussion. Many times, panelists made references to the McCarthy era of the 1950s showing analogs of mass paranoia, eroding civil liberties

and blind nationalism. “The government is intentionally bringing us into a fear mentality and perhaps this strategy is necessary to keep down our civil liberties,” Raleigh civil litigation attorney Anne Slifkin said, regarding several recent stories of people being falsely accused or hindered due to hysterical attitudes toward terrorism.

One specific example Slifkin used was the case of three Middle Eastern medical interns who were arrested and

lost their jobs because a waitress overheard one say, “How much would it cost to bring it down?” The statement was in reference to a car that one wanted to ship down from Kansas. The panel ended with a questions session when most audience members voiced various criticisms of American policies. About 75 people—including many Durham residents and graduate students —attended the event, and most said they were pleased with the

discourse. “I was glad to see [the panel] didn’t have a uniform view,” political science graduate student Krista Wiegand said

afterward. Madaline Keros, a student in the Divinity School, said she was encouraged by the panel. “I came away with a feeling like there are more people questioning policies than I thought there would be.... [The panel showed] you can be critical without being antiAmerican.”

Duke looks to heavens for help against No. 5 FSU By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

Duke’s best hope for victory against No. 5 Florida State (3-0, 2-0 in the ACC) isn’t Alex Wade, Ryan Fowler or Adam Smith. It goes by the name of Isidore. Hurricane Isidore, which was expected to pass over Cuba and enter the Gulf of Mexico early Friday morning on a northwesterly track, could produce rain in the Tallahassee, Fla., area by Saturday night. “I hope for a big storm to come through up there and drop a bunch of rain down,” head coach Carl Franks said. “That’d probably be a big advantage for us I would think. If it comes to big old rain, it makes it tough for both teams. And I think it would certainly help us more than it would help them.” Duke (1-2,0-0) ended its 23-game losing streak in a mud-and-rain-soaked Wallace Wade Stadium in the season opener, as Wade’s straight-ahead running gained yards en route to a victory over East Carolina.

time in recent history, is built around the running game. Seminole head coach Bobby Bowden credits a veteran offensive line and “as fine a set of runners as we’ve ever had” for his team’s ground game which is ranked sixth in

the country.

Greg Jones is the ACC’s secondleading rusher with 392 yards and four touchdowns; Nick Maddox provides a potent change-of-pace, averaging 7.1 yards per carry on his 19 attempts this season. “They’re going to try to run the football, because they have two of the top rushers in the conference in Jones and Maddox—big strong guys who can run very well—especially if Rix is hurt a little bit,” Franks said. “If we come up and stop the run, I expect they’re going to throw it over our heads. They haven’t, lately, been a very fancy offense; they’ve just been a very effective offense.” Nevertheless, the Duke defense likes its chances against a run-oriented Florida State. “You hear all the hype about Greg The conditions de-emphasized the passing game—a weakness on offense Jones—he’s a big back, and stuff like and defense for Duke—and since the that,” said junior defensive tackle Matt Blue Devils were able to avoid Zielinski. “But we’re used to that out here with Alex Wade. Wade is actually turnovers, they had the keys to victory. Duke will need similar help from the same size as him. All preseason we above to defeat the Seminoles, who are were tackling all the same guys, going coming off a convincing 37-10 victory through the same stuff.” Although Zielinski is confident that over the defending ACC champion Wade is a similar back to Jones, Maryland Terrapins.

The women’s soccer team will host the 12th-annual Duke Adidas Women’s Soccer Classic this weekend at Koskinen Stadium. The llth-ranked Blue Devils will face off against Florida International Friday at 7 p.m. and Marquette Sunday at 3 p.m. The University of North Carolina, the fourth team in the tournament, will play Marquette Friday at 5 p.m. and Florida International Sunday at 11:30 a.m. Since it is not a round-robin tournament, a points system will determine the winner. Victories are worth two points and ties one point, with goal differential serving as the tiebreaker. Duke (4-2) is excited to play its first home game since Aug. 30. “It has been tough being away,” said junior forward Gwendolyn Oxenham. “I am really excited to play in front of a big crowd with our own fan base.” The Blue Devils, entering the tournament on a three-game winning streak, will have to adjust to being the favored team.

Wade’s name and could not remember

Chris Douglas’ name —recalling only a running back who gave last year’s team trouble called “Adams.” By Sunday, however, Bowden will likely remember Wade’s name, as his number will almost certain be called many times against Florida State. Douglas may see limited action, and will likely rest an injured ankle that has slowed him so far this season. Quarterback Chris Dapolito, who split time under center during the season’s first two games, played in just two series against Northwestern last

week. For the rest of the game, Franks went with the hot hand of Smith. Against Florida State both quarterbacks figure to see action. Dapolito’s ability outside the pocket should make

him particularly valuable. “Every athlete wants to compete and when you have the chance to compete against the No. 5 team in the nation, you want to be out there,” said Dapolito, shrugging off the notion that the week before the Florida State game is not a bad time to lose minutes at quarterback. “You want to be able to play with those guys and say you played against the No. 5 team in the nation and see what you can do against them.”

WHAT-THE-HELL-ARE-WEFollowing DOING-HERE, Cuba hurricane Isidore, the grid pickers made their way down to what they thought would be Tallahassee, Fla., hoping to watch the upcoming mud-

bath also known as the DukeFlorida State mauling. Using weather charts, the grid pickers followed the track of the storm. However, since they work for The Chronicle, the grid pickers were naturally a day late and ended up in Cuba. “This place sucks. It’s almost as bad as Detroit, Roily “Chili Dog” Miller said. “Quit your bitching, at least you never had to deal with Pittsburgh,” ”

Evan “Baron” Davis said. “For God sake, Kevin Lloyd is from Pittsburgh.” However, Nick “Robert E. Lee” Christie was quick to correct both Davis and Miller. “It’s better than anywhere in the South,” he said, before trying to find out what social injustices existed on the island of Cuba during the Triassic era so he could write a long, irrelevant column on something that used to be controversial but that no one really thinks about today, just to generate as many letters to the editor as possible. Catherine “I get to go near the top ofthe story because I’m winning” Sullivan and Robert Samuel “Adams Octoberfest Beer rules” could not make the event, but were there in spirit. As RAs, they were out with John “W.” Bush trying to do their best Fidel Castro impression to the remaining social life on campus. After landing, Tyler “goal scoring is contagious...” Rosen went searching for Paul “-ie Walnuts” Doran and Gabe riel” Githens so the trio could “-

then walked in, said something annoying and controversial, and left, leaving his associates to clean up the mess. Kevin “p” Lees “stop being so sexy

now” immediately followed with a suitcase full of free cologne. As soon as he was asked to do some work, Lees left, saying he had to “work on his paper.” At that moment, Mike “I’ll show you my column” Corey came whizzing by. He was trying to land with the rest of the grid pickers, but he had so much velocity after his free fall from first to last place that he just kept flying by. He called a few days later, having landed somewhere in Chile.

ADIDAS from page 11 emerge from the weekend with two

victories.

“During practice this week, we have looked at how our role is changing,” said head coach Robbie Church. “We have done well as the hunter, but now we will be the hunted. It will be interesting to see how we respond to that.” While the Golden Panthers, who have lost four games in a row, should not pose much of a threat to the Blue Devils, Marquette’s stingy defense will make it difficult for Duke to score. The Blue Devils, who have overwhelmingly outshot their opponents 96-55, have only outscored their opponent 13-8. Scoring will be even more difficult against Marquette. The Golden Eagles

a <rv

have posted four consecutive shutouts behind the near flawless play of senior goalie Ashleigh Koenig, who was recently named Conference USA co-defensive player of the week. Duke will have to string together a series of passes and make sure that freshman Carmen Bognanno—the spark plug of the team—and the fiery Oxenham get involved. Marquette is simply too good in the back for the Blue Devils to rely on leading scorer Casey McCluskey, who netted both goals against Florida last weekend, to produce all their offense. “I think we have just been a little unlucky. We have averaged a high number of shots and just need a little luck to fall our way,” said co-captain Liz Wagner. While the offense may have a difficult time establishing itself, the defense, led by senior co-captain Rebecca Smith,

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 2002 �PAGE 15

should have no problem staving off its two opponents. Neither team is known for their offensive prowess and will find it very difficult to penetrate the solid play of Duke’s back four. With a 2-2 record against ranked opponents so far this season, Church understands how important it is for his team to get a few other wins under its belt. “We know that we need at least a .500 winning percentage to be eligible for the NCAA tournament. There are no guarantees once we enter ACC play, and this is a chance for us to build on that winning mark,” he said. Church is not the only one who recognizes the significance of the weekend. “There is nothing worse than losing to an opponent you should have beat. We are looking at it one game at a time, as a team with players who are capable of making things happen,” said Oxenham.

SOPHOMORE CASEY MCCLUSKEY leads Duke with four goals and three assists in 2002.

The Chronicle Positive rush changes

The

Panhellenic Council has decided to institute several changes to the recruitment process. These changes are steps in the right direction. The three major changes are: 1) Increasing the number ofrecruitment counselors from one to two; 2) Organizing recruitment groups based alphabetically, not by halls; and 3) Changing the way in which space points are allocated to sororities. Increasing the number ofrecruitment coordinators will increase the chance rushees will have somebody they can go and talk to for an objective opinion about greek life, so it is obviously a positive change. Changing the organization ofrecruitment groups is intended to reduce the pressure girls feel duringrush. However, since by organizing alphabetically, girls who stand in line together at rush are assigned to the same groups, this could actually lead to greater pressure. The best change is in how space points are allocated. Instead of forcing sororities to hold poorly-attended and pointless rush previews, points are now assigned based on attendance at a session on “dirty rushing.” These sessions will only improve the experience for rushees by helping to prevent underhanded and illegal recruitment tactics that are not in the spirit ofrush. Most of all, the fact that Panhel has looked at the problems with rush and is attempting to solve them is itself encouraging.

A better selection process Departing

from a long tradition, Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan will be accepting applications from students who wish to serve as line monitors for Krzyzewskiville this basketball tenting season. Past head line monitors have generally selected their friends to be line monitors, a most undesirable form of favoritism. Morgan’s system, however, will select line monitors based on their qualifications either as experienced tenters, proven leaders or some combination of the two. This new policy will definitely ensure a more fair and effective selection process and can only improve the quality of the line monitors. By soliciting applications, Morgan is giving all students a fair shake and an equal chance to be selected as a line monitor based on their substantive qualifications, not based on who their friends are. The new application process could also lead to greater diversity among line monitors, which would be a welcome difference. Students who in the past were upset with Morgan’s selection as head line monitor or bemoaned his lack of experience, should step up now and apply to be line monitor in order to contribute to Kville. Morgan’s tenure has begun well with this innovation, which promises to vastly improve K-ville.

I appreciate the articles

about the new Student Health Center that recently appeared in the Chronicle. TTie Sept. 13, story was very informative; however the concluding box contained two inaccuracies related to our after hours operation. First, the SHC is open on Saturday

and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., when a limited, urgent care clinic is held. A SHC nurse coordinates this clinic and is available at 681-

student health all the time

UNC Secondly, Health Link is not available

early October. Currently, a

WELL.

sign is posted at the East Campus Wellness Clinic directing students to call 681WELL when that office is closed. The best way to get this information is by dialing our main number 681-WELL or by visiting our website, http://healthydevil.stu-

24 hours a day, only when the

SHC is closed. I regret that letter writer Andrew Gerst had such difficulties accessing our weekend clinical services. Since our move to the Duke Clinic location off Flowers Drive in midAugust, a number ofstudents have unfortunately experienced difficulty finding the SHC. Signage is on order and hopefully will be in place by

dentaffairs.duke.edu lists our available services.

History of racial I write to thank Nick Christie for his heartfelt editorial on Southern nationalism. I am a white Southerner, bom and raised in North Carolina. I am also a historian. On both counts I want to register my discomfort with the defensive efforts of Christie’s critics in Tuesday’s Chronicle to deflect our attention away from the history of racial terror that Christie rightly recognizes to be central to our Southern heritage. The violence of the language used by family friends and extended family was deemed by my more liberal parents inappropriate for children’s ears. Even my parents had doubts, sending my sister and I to a private school

The private school was filled with white children who spoke openly about their parents not wanting them in schools with n—s, and teachers who overheard without objection. My sister and I couldn’t bear the racism, so we left to take our chance with the riots my parents feared. My next three years in public school were an extraordinary experience, although by the time I graduated it was obvious that segregation was being informally reinstated through the efforts of local authorities and teachers. I say all this to under(which

Commentary

Tommy Haskins Guest Commentary lems and not until we (the South) change can the country move forward. For years, I have been dumfounded. What are we doing wrong? Is there something I’m missing? I didn't realize racism and bigotry were unique to those states below the Mason-Dixon line. I guess racial profiling in Los Angeles is just a myth, something invented by a Southern writer to divert some negative attention.Then, it hit me, I had an epiphany. What the nation needs isn’t for the South to change, what the nation needs is a history lesson. So, sit down and pull out your pad and pencil. Here we go into what the history books don’t say: WeTl start with the most infamous hate group in American history, the Ku Klux Klan. Must've originated in Alabama or Mississippi, right? Wrong. Actually, there were two klans, the largest of which was based in Indiana, with membership reaching upwards of five million Americans. Well, certainly you can't avoid Southern Jim Crow laws, can you? Well, as a matter of fact, did you know that Jim Crow began in the North, as away to adjust to the presence of emancipated slaves? I refer you to a book by C. Vann Woodward, The Strange Career of Jim Crow, in which a black newspaper columnist from the North travels, by train, from Boston to South Carolina. Following his journey, he writes, “I think the whites of the South are really less afraid to [have] contact with colored people than the whites of the North.” What about all the great Northern leaders that helped emancipate the slaves, like Abraham Lincoln? Lincoln, my friend, was a segregationist. I refer you back to Woodward’s book, which quotes Lincoln in 1858 as saying, “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality ofthe white and black races.” In contrast, I give you the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching, housed in Atlanta, Ga. I give you Martin Luther King Jr., bom in Fulton County, Ga. I give you Frederick Douglass, who arguably did more to advance the position ofblacks Americans than any other single human being, bom: Maryland. Now, the point I am trying to impress upon you is not the guilt of the North and its people as monolithic. What you and everyone else should understand is that segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, and all the brutality that accompanied them are not just Southern history, they are American history. For several hundred years, slavery existed throughout the states. It is a black eye to every American. Just as the inhumane treatment of Native Americans is not blamed on the Midwest (does anyone actually hate Kansas?) and the mistreatment of Mexican Americans is not seen as Western history. As a nation, we must take the blame for these atrocities, so let's not leave the South out to dry on slavery. The unfortunate truth in this whole matter is that when the history books were being written in the early 1900s, they were being written by Northerners who saw the South as weak and poor, which we were. We were virtually defenseless to the blame that found its way so easily into our laps. We spent the better part ofthe late 20th century trying to dig ourselves out of Jim Crow and poverty to try to boost a devastated economy. We had neither the time nor the energy to fight this battle ofmoral guilt. Now we fight. Do not try to make the South out to be dirty and beyond redemption.lnstead, recognize that what we read about is American history, not just Southern history, and should be treated as such. So go and show the nation your new found knowledge, because if we can join together as a nation, black

Americas, white Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and all otherAmericans, if we can join across cultural, racial and ethnic lines, then half the battle is already won. There is grace in being a Southerner. There has to be to stay calm under attack. Tommy Haskins is a Trinity freshman.

In defense of offense

True history Sick. Tired. Fed-up. I can’t take it any more. No longer will I stand by while the South and everything about it is bashed, blamed and villainized. I’ve seen it in history books, I've heard it in speeches and I’ve read it in newspapers. To some, the South is the cause of most of the nation’s prob-

FRIDAY,

I wonder why we’ve placed our ultimate value on not giving offense. If you read my last column, you’ll remember how I tried to differentiate between real diversity, which means cultural exchange, and official diversity, in which everyone is superproud of their own identity but S groups stay isolated. It doesn’t take long to see that college campuses are strongholds of the official kind. What we need to break down the diversity barrier is a change in thinking. Now, our de facto segregation can’t be Goodman traced back to one source: class, dialect Oh Dear, I’m Ever and our backgrounds all play a part. So Pissed Self-segregation existed before we came to Duke, and it will exist after we leave; being on a college campus only makes the problem more evident. But we have four years here in our academic bubble—why can’t we make Duke a little better than the real world? I think the reason so little exchange happens at college is that we’re all deathly afraid of pissing each other off. If we can’t communicate honestly, we can’t gain anything from each other—that’s why the ethos of non-offensiveness has to change. Giving everyone free rein to judge and criticize will improve our racial climate. After all, cultural fusion is an evaluative act: It requires finding something in your culture I judge highly enough to take into my own, and vice-versa. That’s not how it seems to work where modem multiculturalism has taken hold: All cultures are equally good and irreconcilable, criticism is intolerance, exchange is the mark of“inauthenticity” or “selling out.” “We’ve come to see the world as divided into cultures and groups defined largely by their difference with each other,” writes Kenan Malik in Spiked magazine. “And every group has come to see itself as composed not of active agents attempting to overcome disadvantages by striving for equality and progress, but of passive victims with irresolvable grievances. For if differences are permanent, how can grievances ever be resolved?” What started as an honest attempt to give every culture its fair say has morphed into a militant nonjudgmentalism. At issue is not whether cultural relativism is correct or whether an absolute standard of

judging cultures can ever be established —that’s an

unresolvable argument. At issue is relativism’s soulsapping effects, its nurturing of grievances, its elaborate system of walls between peoples. At the very least, let’s pretend there’s an absolute standard and that real judgment is possible. Otherwise, we’ll be too afraid of giving offense to deal with each other on anything more than a superficial level. Of course, offense comes in many different kinds. Our problem is that we’ve lost our ability to differentiate between name-calling and the kind of offense Great Britain is trying to outlaw with a bill that would prohibit criticizing any religion. Offense of the latter kind is absolutely central to democratic society. Debating means telling someone else they’re wrong. That obligation doesn’t change if your opponent comes from a different part of the world or practices a different faith—that’s the great thing about the value of universality. Offense is the fuel for the marketplace of ideas, which requires us to kill off bad ideas without regret. We can misplace our sympathy and deny the obligation, just as we can deny that bad ideas exist at all, but at this price: that the ideas that emerge victorious will be the ones so vehement they deny debate altogether.

Consider this story from

1999; the

London Guardian

reported on a student conference on Islamophobia at King’s College, at which a speaker began by announcing, “I am a gay Muslim.” And that was it. “For members of the majority Muslim audience, the expression was enough to ignite the most passionate opposition. Some people began to shout, while others came raging down to confront the speaker. Security was called and the confer-

ence came to a premature end.” Ideas are not created equal. Adopting such an attitude would lead to a lot of hurt feelings—no one enjoys being criticized. But we need to do away with this respectful distance with which we keep away from anyone different. We need to confront each other, to yell, even to cry. We need to stop being so self-satisfied and start being more honest. Whatever pain we incur in doing this will be worth it when we look at each other and understand each other for the first time.

Too close for comfort On a typical night out in Australia it’s inescapable—everywhere I look couples are all over each other, and it seems every place in the country is an unspoken Lovers’ Lane. I don’t know if it’s the South Pacific currents or the time difference, but the people down probunder

couples line the walls of clubs and

'Jennifer \l7l

Wlach make-out like an overextended game The Y Perspective of “seven minutes in heaven.” On campus the situation only gets worse. At 11 a.m. in front of the economics building, I was witness to a good-bye groping. I watched with disgust as some guy grabbed his girlfriend’s breast as a send off to her hour-long lecture. It was at this nauseating moment that I began to wonder, why has public affection gotten so out of control? While the Aussies are a bit of an extreme, public displays of affection in our generation show a complete lack of inhibition. Intimacies between couples have become so casual that it seems what goes on in the bedroom is no longer part of the private realm. It’s expected that at college—no longer under the watchful eyes of parents—we will test the

limits of social impropriety. This situation has been happening on college campuses for generations, but there is a change in what we’re experiencing today. While we may be guilty of the same indiscretions of generations past, it is the number of people participating that makes the difference. More people our age are comfortable getting overly affectionate in public. The larger quantity of couples crossing the line is what makes the situation so offensive. But why are we seeing such a rise in distasteful displays now? Our casual nature with public affection is due to the fact that we have become desensitized to sex. We have grown up with a social transition that has increasingly made sex part ofthe public forum. While sex was a taboo topic for our grandparents, we have been raised in a world where “the three letter word” is part of frank and frequent discussion. We’re educated on the subject from various sources and are encouraged to discuss this part of our lives. Today, it is not unusual for par-

ents to buy condoms for their kids before they go off to college. Twenty years ago this was not the case. Evidence of this trend is best reflected in the media. You cannot put on the television without being bombarded by casual talk about sex. The Friends season finale had Monica

and Chandler desperately trying to do it in a hospital; their success prompted Chandler's prideful response “at least we can say we did it on a bucket.” And there are of course entire shows dedicated to the issue, such as Sex and the City. It isn’t just the programs that inundate us with this new acceptance of sex. There are Trojan condom commercials and the ever-cheesy Herbal Essences ads to keep sexual activity at the fore of our thoughts. Because we are so exposed to discussion of sex in our everyday lives, it is with ease that we transition to acting more sexual in public. However, society’s comfort with sexual discourse does not give us the green light to act so lewdly in public. When one’s love life is brought out of the bedroom, the intimacy of affection is trivialized for what’s cool in current societal mindset. When displayed in a room full of strangers, affection will not be viewed in the positive, loving way one expects were it to be kept in the privacy ofthe bedroom. Being affectionate is about two people, not performing for an audience who more than likely do not want to watch. So, the next time you want to get really friendly, take your lovin’ where it belongs, back to the bedroom.
