Task force to look at selective groups A new task force over the next month will consider how groups apply for living space, what advantages groups will have and the ratio of selective to non-selective bed space. By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

As selective houses pack their bags and move to the perimeter of West Campus this year and as other selective groups request housing, University officials are seeking a broader reevaluation of issues relating to residential selective groups. A task force composed of students, administrators, a faculty member, a residential advisor and a residence coordinator will meet weekly until fall break. Discussion topics will include the procedure for applying for residential space, the amenities that are available to residential groups and theratio of affiliated to non-affiliated beds on campus. “The idea is to look at and examine the current structure of selective houses. With a new structure, new staff and new model, we need to evaluate how selective houses fit into this model,” said Todd Adams, assistant dean of students and director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. “It’s not how to limit the selective houses but how to enhance the selective group experience.” In the past, groups requesting residential sections could only form a block in Trent Drive Hall while waiting for approval. Two years ago, however, administrators imposed a moratorium on new selective sections while they implemented changes to upperclass housing. Now, Adams said, Trent is not used in the same way and an alternative process needs to be established. “Some selective groups are no longer on campus but none have been added. We are forming what kind of process will occur [in order for selective groups] to See TASK FORCE on page 9

THE PARKING LOT AT SOUTH SQUARE MALL sits empty, as the mall officially shut its doors last week. The Streets at Southpoint, on the other side of Durham, took much of South Square’s business away when it opened last spring.

South Square sounds death knell By JOSH NIMOCKS The Chronicle

After almost three decades as the anchor of an entire commercial district, South Square Mall ended not with a bang, but a whimper. The mall officially closed last week after 27 years of operation, following the departure of most of its tenants to Durham’s newest mall, The Streets at Southpoint, closer to Chapel Hill and Research Triangle Park.

Songbirds may offer clues to human learning and behavior, according to a new study by biology professor Stephen Nowicki. See page 3

Although city council members have not yet decided the fate of the South Square site, they are currently considering a plan for rezoning it.

“Nobody wanted to stay there,” said Henry Faison, owner of the South Square property and founder of Faison and Associates, a Charlotte real estate firm. “If we are able to revitalize it, I think [it] will be a viable area.” He added that South Square was a critically important area for the city.

Police reported an assault in Rick’s Diner last weekend, resulting in a visit to the Emergency Department, but the assailant said they were “just fooling around.” See page 4

Although many Durham residents have flocked to the glitzy new Southpoint mall, others regret the loss of South Square’s convenience. Charles Stem, a Durham resident, said he and his wife prefer malls to shopping centers because of weather and comfort, and consider Southpoint too far away and too big. “I think [closing South Square] did the community a disSee SOUTH SQUARE on page 7

The results were a bitter disappointment to Edmund Stoiber, the Bavarian leader whose conservatives won as many votes as any other party but appeared to come up empty nonetheless. The conservatives, who had been running safely ahead until the last month of the race, were let down by Stoiber’s cautious personality and by the poor campaign run by their obvious coalition partners, the Free Democrats.

NATO official speaks on ress, ethics Songbirds offer human brain insight By NICK FOLEY The Chronicle

The media is so important that terrorist groups plan attacks with consideration of how media coverage will strengthen their message, said a top NATO press official Friday afternoon. Jamie Shea, NATO’s director of information and press, delivered this year’s James B. Ewing Lecture on Ethics in Journalism Friday afternoon at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. He addressed the relationship between the press and the government in times of crisis, capping a day of workshops organized by public policy studies faculty and the United States Institute of Peace. “It’s very easy in today’s media warfare for our adversaries to use our media,” said Shea, who argued that conventional warfare between nationstates is growing increasingly obsolete. Shea said the Sept. 11 attacks were an example of a weaker party using the media to amplify its cause. He added that al Qaeda meant not just to kill 3,000 victims in New York and Washington, but to scare 3 billion people around the world through the powerful images of the act itself. “[The attack was] designed as a media event... a media, Hollywood spectacular,” he said. However, he added, the power of the press cuts both ways and the press and the government are mutually dependent, even though their attitude toward each other may often be confrontational. “The press has to reflect on its new power,” he said, noting that it was im-

possible for the government to execute

its agenda without an adequate media campaign. “The press today increasingly sets the agenda.” For instance, NATO and the U.S. government relied on media images of the Jan. 1999 massacre ofrebels in southern Kosovo to show the public why intervention was necessary. Especially in times of crisis, Shea said, the manner in which the government works with the media is significant. “The less certain public opinion is,

A Duke researcher has found that what guys in a cappella groups have always known—a sweet song gets the girl. At least for songbirds, that is. According to the new study led by Professor of Biology Stephen Nowicki, songbirds may provide a major clue into the mechanisms of human learning and culture. The research, published in the Sept. 22 issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, is the first to demonstrate that a male songbird’s song performance affects the female bird’s mating response. Previous studies had only shown that the absence of song or size of the repertoire influenced sexual success. To determine the effect of fine differences in song quality, the researchers exposed captive-raised birds to recordings of wild birds and quantitatively measured how well each one copied the songs they heard. The scientists then exposed recently-captured female birds to the captive male birds’ songs, and measured the sexual reaction by the number of times the female birds performed characteristic mating responses—such as wing shivering and specific calls. “What we found is that females showed an overwhelming response to well-learned songs,” Nowicki said. “We know that in many species of birds, females choose males based on their songs, but the reason why is a longstanding puzzle.” The solution to that puzzle now appears to lie in brain function—attaining a brain adept at song-learning is achieved by both successful early development and maintaining good health, explained Nowicki. Bird songs are thus away for female birds to identify smart, See CHIRP CHIRP on page 8

COMMUNITY SERVICE

SOUTH SQUARE from page 1

APO president Sarah Kaneko, a senior, also said the retreat was one of her best memories, and something to get away from day-to-day academic rigors. “I’ve gotten to know a lot of people on and off campus,” she said. “[lt has been] a great outlet.” APO was first established at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania in 1925; Duke started its Lambda Nu chapter in 1955. The Duke chapter dissolved in 1978, but reformed in 1980. Not all members who join APO have done a great deal of community service in the past. “Some were president ofthis and that in high school... and others are just [getting] interested,” Kaneko said. Kaneko and other members said they have found their own special projects, and they usually stick with them throughout their time at the University. Since she rushed as a sophomore, Kaneko has participated in an after-school mentoring program every Monday. “Kids will run up and just grab your leg,” she said. “Getting them interested in extra-curricular reading, knowing you’ve made a difference to that kid, it’s really rewarding.” Siedsma, who has tutored young children at a housing shelter in Durham since his freshman year, said the rewards go both ways. “When I started out as one of the countless premeds, I thought that I wanted to go into emergency medicine or surgery,” he said. Since working at Genesis Home, however, he has decided that he wants to pursue a pediatric specialty. Siedsma recalled an incident when he was saying good-bye to a child he had been working with for a few weeks. The child began to cry when he was told he would not see Siedsma the next week because it was Thanksgiving. “He [asked] me why I didn’t want to come and tutor him anymore,” said Siedsma. “That really surprised me. I didn’t think that coming once a week for an hour and a half would really have such an impact on these kids’ lives, but it did.”

service to move an important center of the city away from where it was,” he said. Dick Hails, Durham’s assistant planning director, said the South Square location is better suited to Durham and Chapel Hill residents because it is on the U.S. 15-501 corridor. “I think they’re both two distinct commercial and economic development areas,” he said. “Obviously, there’s no longer an active mall, [but] there’s been strong commercial demand in that area, and a number of businesses have come in in recent years.” Although the South Square commercial area retains appeal to Durham residents due to its location, the new mall, located in south Durham near Interstate 40, is more geographically central to the Triangle as a whole. “I think we did affect [South Square’s] business,” said Jeff Johnson, marketing director for Southpoint. “I would say this part of Durham is definitely very popular just in the benefit of its location, being in the center of

ELECTIONS from page 2 main parties were tied. The conservative alliance of the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union won 38.5 percent of the vote, and the Social Democrats the same. The Greens got 8.6 percent and the Free Democrats 7.4 percent. The reformed communists, the Party of Democratic Socialists, had 4 percent, below the 5 percent threshold required for parliamentary seats. Under the German electoral system in which voters cast two ballots—one for a candidate in their constituency and one for the party—the Social Democrats stood to benefit. This is because they won more direct constituency seats than the number of seats their percentage of the vote would ordinarily give them. They get to keep these “overhang seats.’Tncluding the overhang seats, the federal election office said, the Social Democrats and Greens would have 306 seats in Parliament compared with the conservatives’ and Free Democrats’ total of 295. The tightness of the election can be seen in the figures: The two main parties are equal and the Greens and Free Democrats are separated by 1.2 percent. But that will be enough to form a government. Had the former communists won just one more seat in a constituency, the Social Democrats and Greens could not have formed a majority. Smiling broadly, Schroeder said; “This will be a cooperation built on a common foundation. It will be fair.” Stoiber predicted to his own supporters in Bavaria that a red-green government would not last long, and that he would be prepared to run Germany “within a year.”

But Schroeder and his Interior Minister, Otto Schily, both cited Konrad Adenauer’s statement in 1949 when he had only a one-seat margin: “A majority is a majority, and if we have it, we will use it.” >■ Fischer, impish, said: “We know many people wianted this constellation. We had a good result. We have to be modest in victory,” Schroeder said the coalition would hold together in power until the next election, four years from now. “Schroeder may just barely come through, but he has taken some lumps,” said Uwe Andersen, a political scientist at Ruhr University, Bochum. “I think his aura as a radiant chancellor has been tarnished.”

Southpoint’s development in 1999. Although he remembered thinking ofthe effect the new mall might have on South Square, he said he tried to put such considerations aside in his decision-making process. “I voted for Southpoint mall because the potential for tax revenue [and] the land use in that area complemented the use of a large mall,” he said. Faison and his developers have already submitted some future plans for the South Square property to the City Council. “We have had a site plan submitted that does call for some... big box users,” said Durham Planning Director Frank Duke. No official decision has been made regarding who will occupy the site, but Best said that Target and Sam’s Club have been reported as two potential clients. Complicating the rezoning is a planned corridor for the Triangle’s future rail system, which is slated to go through the South Square property. “The council is going t0... consider moving that transit corridor to the edge of the property instead of going through a portion of it,” Best said. The council will officially vote on the adjustment at a public hearing in the coming few weeks.

healthy mates. “Brain development is directly linked to males’ ability to sing songs well,” Nowicki said.“What [a female bird] is really interested in is how well [a male bird] builds his brain.” Animals typically choose mates based on physical characteristics; peacock feathers and moose antlers are common examples. Physical strength, demonstrated by vocal capacity, also plays a role in avian sexual selection. Since birds are so small and singing requires a tremendous amount of energy, their songs often resemble a lion’s roar. The birds’ emphasis on mental prowess for their mates puts them in very select company. “I know of no other example outside of humans and birds where animals select in this way,” said Richard Mooney, associate professor of neurobiology at the Medical Center and an expert on the neurophysiology of song-leaming. Because of this link, researchers hope to gain insight into human behavior by studying birds, one of the only animals outside ofhumans that vocalize. “[Birds] learn like we do, by listening to a model and copying it. That’s why they’re so studied,” Mooney said. “It gives us the potential to address what cellular mechanisms are involved in learning.” Mooney also noted the value of applying bird research to an understanding of human culture. “It speaks to the neurobiology of aesthetics—why do we consider some things as beautiful and not others? That may have a basis in sexual selection,” he said. “To communicate is an art form. Humans have been strongly selected for [speech].” Erich Jarvis, assistant professor of neurobiology and an expert on the evolution of vocal behavior, explained that bird research using molecular biology focuses on three types of questions. “What are the genes that regulate vocal learning in the brain, how did brain pathways for vocal learning evolve and what can we learn about general brain function and how the brain works from examining vocal-learning birds?” Jarvis wrote in an e-mail.

“There is nobody in danger now [at sea],” he said by telephone. Yucatan state Gov. Patricio Patron ordered all coastal communities evacuated and soldiers and police in all-terrain vehicles scoured deserted streets along the coast looking for locals. The navy used small vessels to cruise from village to village, enforcing the manda-

tory evacuations. “This is just the beginning,” Patron said, adding that officials were bracing for what could be the worst natural disaster in the Yucatan’s hurricane-battered history. Torrential rains associated with Isidore caused flooding that killed a 16-year-old boy and an 89-year-old man on Nicaragua’s Pacific Coast and authorities there bused hundreds of families to higher ground.

Hurricane warnings were in effect from Campeche on the Gulfof Mexico to the Mayan ruins ofTulum on the Caribbean.

Streets, some littered with downed branches, began to flood.

dles and bread. Isidore hit western Cuba Friday and Saturday with 100 mph winds and torrential rains. The amount of damage was unclear, but a tour of the affected region found heavy flooding across the western part of the island.

national Friday, the women’s soccer

I team suffered an upsetting loss 2-1 to Marquette Sunday, allowing North Carolina to win

the Duke Adidas Women’s Soccer Classic. Against the Marquette Golden Eagles, the Blue Devils started the game making some of the same mistakes they did in their Friday contest against FIU. The end result of a series of errors at the back was that the Duke defense allowed Marquette’s Kate Gordon to put away a goal within the first ten minutes of play. Marquette then continued to dominate Duke until the end of the first half, taking more shots, winning more headers and showing more overall aggression. Despite head coach Robbie Church’s best efforts to motivate his team during half-time, Marquette’s Anne loder scored within the first four minutes of the second halfand gave her team a 2-0 lead. Duke continued its struggles until Freshman Carolyn Riggs netted a header off a cross by freshman Shelly Marshall with 21 minutes left in the game. With fifteen minutes before the final buzzer, the Blue Devils had a surge ofenergy and dominated play, taking shot after shot—a strategy goalie Katie Straka said was “like night and day” from the first 75 minutes ofthe game. However, despite their frenzied attempts to muster a tie, Marquette held its 2-1 lead and broke the Blue Devils four-game winning streak. “You can’t play a quality team for only 20 minutes, and that’s what we tried to d0..,. We threw away the other 70 minutes,” Church said of the disappointing loss. “I give a lot of credit to Marquette. They made our life miserable.” Riggs, who scored Duke’s only goal, denied that the team had become overconfident after Friday’s win. “Any team that you step onto the field with can beat y0u.... It all comes down to the effort you put out on the field,” she said. “When we give our best, we are better than any team we could ever play against.” On Friday night at Koskinen Stadium, Duke defeated Florida International 5-0. For the first 25 minutes ofthe game, the Blue Devils had trouble connecting with each other and were unable to take advantage of their opportunities. Then, with 19 minutes left in the first half, Riggs scored two quick goals giving Duke a 2-0 lead going into the second half. The Blue Devils’ aggression then improved in the second half as Duke tossed in three more scores before

Oxenham, a junior, said she was happy with her team’s change of pace and that “the momentum picked up in the second half after Robbie made some changes.” Church said he was pleased with his team’s performance but admitted to having some fears about the slow start and lack of aggression. Duke took a total of 26 shots that game and Church stressed the impor-

tance of being able to convert those chances into goals. “We’re taking too many shots and not getting enough goals,” he said.

Seminole offense takes control after

By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

Fla.

-48 TALLAHASSEE, FSU The largest crowd to Duke 17 ever see a Duke football game—B2,3B7—crowded into Doak Campbell Stadium for parents weekend and watched the Blue Devils, who played arguably their best football ofthe season for the first 20 minutes of the game, fall to Florida State in a 48-17 loss. Things started out as planned for the Blue Devils as Duke weathered a feverish opening drive by Florida State to force a 24-yard field goal attempt, which was surprisingly missed by star Seminole kicker Xavier Beitia. The Blue Devils immediately took advantage of the missed kick with Adam Smith connecting on a nine-yard pass to wideout Senterrio Landrum on the first play from scrimmage. On the next play, running back Alex Wade bulleted his way to one ofthe most surprising runs in the history of Duke football. Plowing through the talented Florida State defensive line, the 250 pound fullback galloped 41 yards before the Seminole secondary caught him. Duke went to Wade on its next three plays, but he was slowed to only two yards, forcing a 45-yard field goal attempt by Brent Garber. However, the Blue Devils were thwarted in their attempt to put the first points on the scoreboard when B.J. Ward blocked Garber’s kick. Duke held its composure and did not let the potential game-turning play affect its performance. On the ensuing drive, Florida State casually took the ball down field to the Duke 10. However, on third down with three yards to go, the Blue Devils sacked quarterback Chris Rix for a loss of seven' forcing another field-goal at-

tempt. This time Beitia connected, breaking the tie to a 3-0 Seminole lead. Wade and Smith led the Blue Devils on their next drive. This time around, Wade ran for 34 yards and Smith threw for 43, setting up a game-tying field goal from Garber. “Even though Florida State is one of the top teams in the nation, we felt like we had a chance,” said Landrum, who caught his first career touchdown pass. “We played hard; we didn’t give up.” Fate continued to be on the Blue Devils’ side on the next possession as Rix was sacked by Shawn Johnson and Giuseppe Aguanno for another sevenyard loss. Immediately after the sack, the Seminole quarterback threw pass to Anquan Boulin, which looked masterfully broken up by Alex Green. But the referees controversially called pass-interference on the play, causing head coach Carl Franks to throw a fit—barely restraining himself from going on the field to complain further. Franks indirectly criticized the officials after the game. “They are the most penalized team in the league, and I think they had one penalty through three quarters,” he said. “But I can’t worry about that stuff.” For the rest of the game, the Blue Devils were unable to overcome the momentum gained from this play, with Florida State scoring four plays later on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Rix to Robert Morgan, Although the first two offensive series for Duke led to field-goal attempts, after the pass-interference call it was nothing but three-and-outs. Florida State took advantage with another 14-

yard touchdown pass from Rix—this time to Talman Gamer—and a threeyard touchdown run by freshman fullback Torrance Washington. The score at halftime was 24-3. Nevertheless, Duke had some impressive statistics at the half, with Alex Wade running for 95 yards and Adam Smith passing 7-for-13 for 84 yards. It was the

first half all season that Smith was the sole quarterback for the Blue Devils. On the other hand, Florida State used three quarterbacks in the first half in utilizing their Kentucky Derby offense. “I was proud of the way our guys fought and kept coming back,” Franks said. “Adam Smith moved the team. Alex Wade ran very, very hard. I don’t think the score was quite indicative ofthe way we played but it was indicative of the big play they were able to hit.” The second half was a disaster for Duke. The game was put out ofreach on a fluke play when an FSU punt bounced off Blue Devil John-Paul Kimbrough, who was blocking a Seminole player, into the end zone where Leon Washington jumped on the ball for a touchdown. Back-up quarterback Chris Dapolito relieved Smith in the second half to add production to the Blue Devils’ offense. Dapolito threw for 114 yards with two touchdowns, including a 26-yard reception to Lance Johnson—the first touchdown of both players’ careers—and ran for another 18 yards. Last year’s star running back Chris Douglas did not play in order to rest an injured ankle. Wade had 25 running attempts in his absence, running for 114 yards. It was the third time in four games that he ran for over 100 yards. “A win is a win,” said Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden. “It happened

like so many games we have had with them in the past. We play even for a long time and then it breaks open.” Florida State 48, Duke 17 FINAL

Blue Devils. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Looking at a game with a final score of 48-17, it would be hard to make the argument that officiating had anything to do with the outcome. While Florida State effectively dominated Duke in every quarter except the first, it was the decision of an official early in the second quarter that steered the Seminoles to their easy victory. With the score knotted at three in the early parts of the second quarter, Duke’s defense was playing at a level rarely seen by the Blue Devils, frustrating the Seminoles especially inside the 20 yard line. “They fought us tooth and nail the first quarter and a half,” Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden said. “Our failure was goal line offense.” On Florida State’s drive immediately following Brent Garber’s game-tying field goal, the defense was at its best. Quarterback Chris Rix was sacked on first down by Shawn Johnson and Giuseppe Aguanno for a loss of seven yards to push the Seminoles back into their own territory. “We were on the sidelines saying, ‘Keep it up! Keep it up!’” said sophomore Duke defensive end Micah Harris about his team’s strong start. “We weren’t going to come in here thinking they were going to push us around.” On the very next play, Duke did keep it up as Rix’s , pass to Anquan Boldin was broken up by Alex Green.

Field h ckey upsets Louisville, beats Richmond By C.K. SWETT The Chronicle

6 The 16th-ranked field hockey team held true Richmond 0 to the old adage “there’s no place like home” this past weekend, upsetting ninth-ranked Louisville 2-1 Saturday, and then dismantling Richmond 6-0 Sunday in their first two home games of the season. Senior captain Chrissy Ashley spearheaded the goal-fest Sunday at Williams Field, recording two goals and one assist. Juniors Kim Gogola and Kim Van Kirk also notched a goal and an assist apiece. Gogola tallied the first goal of match at the 15-minute mark, skipping a pass from Ashley over the outstretched body of Spiders’ goalie Michelle Swartz. The second half saw the game descend into a full-fledged beating, with Ashley ripping two unassisted goals, and freshmen Nicole Dudek and Katie Grant each finding the back ofthe net once. “We got a better feel for the game,” said Van Kirk, explaining the Blue Devils’ onslaught.

Van Kirk helped extend the lead to two when her cross was sent home by sophomore Chrissy Murphy at the 50minute mark. “We did what we practiced,” said Murphy. “I didn’t think about it. The goalie pulled left and I just tipped it in.” The Cardinals cut the lead in half when Olivia Metzer connected a misfired penalty shot, slipping it past Duke goalie Erica Perrier with 11 minutes left in the game. After the goal, head coach Liz Tchou called a timeout. “I told the players to be smarter and aggressive and not to worry about the score,” she said. “They were backing off a bit, not moving their feet, drawing too many penalties.” Duke continues its homestand, playing Davidson Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Terrapins down men’s soccer, 3-0 in Maryland The Blue Devils now turn their heads to a rivalry match against the defending national champion North Carolina Tar Heels. By SHANE RYAN The Chronicle

Maryland Duke

3 Hot on the heels of a stunning upset of 0 then-No. 2 Clemson,

the men’s soccer team came back to earth Sunday, losing 3-0 to the sixthranked Maryland Terrapins. Playing at Ludwig Field in College Park, Md., Duke suffered its first ACC setback of the year, moving them to 1-1 in conference play and 4-2-1 overall. The Blue Devils kept it close in the first half, thanks in large part to solid defensive play by Matt Ahumada. In the 20th minute, however, Duke relinquished the first goal of the game to Maryland’s Sumed Ibrahim. On a free kick from 30 yards out, Ibrahim charged through the box and headed the ball past goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge for the Terrapins’ first marker. Duke, ranked 20th in the nation, failed to mount any serious offensive threats, and the game stood at 1-0 when the halftime whistle blew. “The first half was a real defensive struggle,” said head coach John Rennie. “We played well considering ourdefense is starting to look like a MASH unit,” Unfortunately for the Devils, the unit was about to come under heavy fire. The absence of key defender Matt White, who sustained a leg injury earlier in the year, began to take its toU. Maryland, despite attempting only three shots before halftime, took advantage of Duke’s fatigue in the second half to control possession and keep constant pressure on the undermanned Blue Devil defense. Their efforts paid off in the 58th minute when an Erwin Diaz header found the back of the net to increase the

become housed,” said Sarah Andrews, a residential advisor on the task force and a Divinity School student. Tm excited about making sure selective houses are happy. They use a lot of effort picking residents.” Sigma Phi Epsilon, which lost its housing in 1993, returned to campus in 1999, with members blocking in Trent, and has applied for official housing ever since. Jeremy Morgan, president of the Interffatemity Council and a member of the task force, said he believes Sig Ep will be able to attain housing for next year. “We know for sure there is a group that is very interested in getting residential status,” said Morgan, a senior. “Sig Ep probably would have been housed this year if wasn’t for so many changes.” Morgan said that the application procedure for gaining residential space will

also affect Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Kappa Psi, two disbanded fraternity chapters that could request housing in the future. The task force is also evaluating the number of selective and nonselective beds. Adams said that 34 percent of the student body currently resides in affiliated beds. “We need to decide why there’s this number and what we’re looking for in the future,” said sophomore Anthony Vitarelli, a member of the task force who is also Campus Council treasurer. Another aspect of selective houses that the task force is considering is the number and layout of beds in each section. “The current house structure is very vertical with a set number of beds,” Adams said. “[lf] it’s more horizontal, you could easily theoretically add a bed or take it away. We’re developing the process about how that should take place.” Morgan also emphasized that the horizontal housing structure is con-

SIEGE from page 6 demonstrators carried portraits of Arafat, Palestinian flags and placards calling on world leaders to protect Arafat. For three days, huge Israeli bulldozers systematically knocked down buildings in the city-block-sized compound in the West Bank town ofRamallah, closing in on Arafat’s office, where the beleaguered leader was holed up in four rooms with his aides. The Israelis surrounded the building with barbed wire. Water and electricity in the office building were cut for several hours. Palestinians interpreted this as pressure on Arafat, who continued to resist Israeli de-

ducive for easily changing the number of beds in a section. “One of the good things is that the horizontal arrangement should be an ability to be more flexible,” Morgan said. “With the horizontal arrangement, you should be able to tack on and to tack off beds.” Page Inman, president of Maxwell House and a senior, cautioned that selective houses should not be too eager to enlarge their numbers. “For the integrity of the group, if it becomes too big, it’ll be too much with no close interaction,” she said. Andrews said that the task force is also considering “the perks of being in a selective house,” including a commons room, large blocks of rooms and the ability of members to choose where in a house they live. Adams said the group will make recommendations to Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, who will use its results with administrator and student involvement to begin policy changes.

mands to hand over the people in his office. The Israeli military said the lines were cut by accident as huge bulldozers leveled structures in the area and that the lines were later repaired. A few hundred yards away, dozens of protesters defied army orders to return to their homes. As soldiers used loudspeakers to declare that the curfew was still in effect, the demonstrators chanted back, “No more curfew!” In a statement, the Palestinian parliament called on Palestinians to “show their willingness to resist this escalation,” warning that Israel’s operation might lead to a regional explosion and blaming both Israel and the United States, “The American administration bears responsibility of blood of our people and of our

“Ideally, at least in terms of acquired space, students will know in the middle of next semester [in time for housing picks],” Adams said. He added that the findings of the task force do not have direct policy implications and only provide a context for selective houses to fit into the broader residential community. Sig Ep President Elliot Silver said he looks forward to the time when more selective houses can be added to the current residential structure. “The introduction of new selective groups would definitely send a message to the community that greeks are both respected and valuable members of this institution,” he wrote in an e-mail. Dave Parrott, a member of Maxwell House and a junior, said there are currently enough selective houses on campus. “It doesn’t really seem that important to daily life,” he said. “But if people want to start, it’s [all right].”

leadership,” the statement said, a reference to the United States’ support for Israel. Israel insisted that Arafat was not a target, but demanded the surrender of everyone inside his office, about 200 people, saying that most would probably be

released. Initially, Israel had said only some 20 people inside were wanted and singled out West Bank intelligence chief Tawfiq Tirawi. Dore Gold, an adviser to Sharon, said 38 Palestinians had turned themselves in since Thursday, and “most of them” were released. Sharon spokesperson Raanan Gissin said terrorists were hiding inside, and “as long as they are not put on trial before their Maker or before a judge, we will not end the siege.”

Lottery decision unwise

Last

Tuesday, the North Carolina House of Representatives voted against holding a referendum on whether the state should have a lottery. This vote is an anathema to democracy and is a major setback for this state’s educational aspirations. By having a lottery, many ofNorth Carolina’s current budget problems would be solved. As passed by the General Assembly, the current budget is unbalanced and will require deficit spending unless more cuts are made to it. If the state instituted a lottery, its revenues would cover many of Gov. Mike Easley’s education reform, thereby reducing the budget overrun. It seems that Easley’s proposals will remain in the budget regardless of whether the lottery passes or not. Additionally, many North Carolina residents already buy lottery tickets, driving to Virginia or South Carolina to play. If North Carolina approved a lottery, the money currently spent in other states would remain here. Moreover, the fact that North Carolinians already play the lottery in huge numbers immunizes the arguments against having a lottery, since any negative effects of the lottery are already present. There are essentially two arguments against the lottery. The first is that the lottery and gambling are somehow immoral. The second argument is that the lottery is a cancer on poor people. The first argument is weak because it is based on religious faith, not consensus that addresses the main issues. The second argument is more insidious, however, since it is condescending toward the poor and also fails to recognize some of the key benefits of a lottery that would actually help the poor. If there was a lottery, anybody buying a lottery ticket would be doing so out oftheir own free will. The poor are as capable as anybody else to make decisions on how to spend their money. If a poor person decides to buy a lottery ticket, he must benefit from it somehow, either financially or psychologically. Opponents ofthe lottery, however, argue that poor people should not be allowed to make own choices and should be protected from their desires by the government. By not having a lottery, poor people are also prevented from becoming educated. The main beneficiaries of the lottery are schools, particularly those schools that are currently underperforming or under-funded. Since a disproportionate number of poor children attend bad schools, they will benefit the most from the lottery, which will give them an opportunity to get a good education and make something of themselves in the future. Therefore, it only makes sense to have the lottery. Legislators should have shown political courage and voted on and approved the lottery by themselves, without having to resort to a referendum. After all, the reason the United States has a representative democracy is so that representatives can make important, informed decisions for the people. But, since it is clear that the legislature lacks the political chutzpah to approve the lottery, the next best option would have been to allow the people of North Carolina to make that decision for themselves. Unfortunately, opponents ofthe lottery apparently feel that the people of North Carolina cannot make a decision about the policies in their state.

Early decision policy is beneficial for applicants Russell Williams’s column attacking the current early decision policy is just another example of uninformed whining on the part of Duke students. Williams seems to think that early decision is only an option for those who plan to pay their tuition in full and up front, but this is clearly not the case. I am not rich, and I

Duke’s financial aid options and policies allow for a student to have a very good idea of the aid that will be provided, and it has been my experience that those who truly need the help will get it. Besides, applicants who’ want to “shop around” and see which school will come up with the “best deal” should not even be thinking about early decision in the first place.

Obviously these people do not have their hearts set on coming here.

Lack of East-West buses As a senior at this school, I have seen many changes, but few as misguided as the decision to remove buses from the East-West line. Students are treated like herd animals at the stops waiting for buses. I personally have had to wait over 45 minutes to get on a bus simply because I would not disrespect my fellow students by pushing my way on to one. The crowds have become out-of-hand, and we need more buses on this line

causes

students problems

to alleviate the problem. The daily crowds grow to such large proportions with students pushing to make their way onto the bus so they will not be late for class that buses frequently hit students standing on the edge ofthe bus stop on the head and body. We are left without a choice because if we do not push our way onto a bus, we miss a significant portion of class. Students who have classes on both campuses

have just as much of a right to attend those classes as those who have their classes on the same campus. This problem is just another indication that this University does not care about its undergraduates. I sincerely hope the problem is alleviated before the need for a student movement is necessary. Please add buses to this line. Shashi Mudunuri Trinity ’O3

Dating problems transcend Duke’s racial divide Upon

reading

Nikyatu

Jusu’s article about the woes of black female dating, or lack thereof, I became thoroughly disgusted. The commentary places so much emphasis on the racial divide at this University, but simply leaves it as a truth to cope with. What Jusu neglects to realize is that people associate with whom they are comfortable and with whom they

share similar interests Therefore, the racial divide at Duke could not be about race at all. To say that Duke culture is seen through a white solipsistic perspective may be the truth, but showing the Duke community a view that could easily be contused with the view of all black females on this campus is just ridiculous. As a female coming from a biracial background, this

commentary I was insulted from various angles. Instead of realizing that nearly all women, regardless ofracial makeup, are frustrated with the lack of a dating scene at this University, Jusu turns it into a racial issue and, in doing so, represents only herself. Crystal
