Tenure, health top faculty agenda By ANDREW COLLINS

selections and assessed recent trends

The Chronicle

The first Academic Council meeting of the year Thursday featured significant updates to two items of perennial faculty interest—their health plans and the tenure committee. Provost Peter Lange presented data to the council on tenure cases from the past year, while Executive Vice President Tallman Trask announced that health insurance copayments would increase this year under increasing financial pressures. .The Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee reported last year’s data concerning faculty tenure

in promotions and reappointments Lange said the number of faculty members leaving the tenure track in their first four years at the University has

declined over the last three years. He said

one reason for Ta ||man Trask the decline may be better hires, but he also acknowledged a greater willingness to reap-

point new hires after their initial threeyear evaluation period. Lange said it is difficult to assess assistant professors fairly after so little time because they may not have published their first major article. “That two-and-a-half-year review is not incredibly meaningful,” he said. He remained confident, however, that the University was being appropriately selective with its tenure cases. Departments nominated 18 total candidates for tenure last year, a significant decrease from recent years, Lange said. The APT committee then See APT on page 9

Task force to examine class scheduling

Women’s task force plans out research By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

A new committee will attempt to redistribute classes to decrease midday sessions and improve student options.

Four months after President Nan Keohane announced a new University-wide gender initiative, administrators, faculty, staff and students across campus are beginning the initial stages of research pertaining to women’s issues. The efforts are being spearheaded by the Women’s Steering Committee, a 15-member task force that draws from every comer of the University. The committee has broken itself into

The committee will bring together qualitative and quantitative information in individual reports, due to Keohane in June 2003.

Men’s soccer readies for defending champ Heels By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

Coming off its first ever national championship in soccer, the vaunted Tar Heels of North Carolina started 2002 at No. 3 in the national polls. After rolling through early opponents hindered with inferior talent, North Carolina was derailed by upstart Davidson and rising national power Yale. Since the setbacks, however, the Tar Heels have steamrolled the likes of Brown, Campbell and then-No. 9

four-day weekends into their schedules. Prompted by concerns that students are avoiding early morning and Friday classes and the resulting concentration of classes at more desirable times, Provost Peter Lange this week finalized a task force that will consider class length and distribution throughout the day and week. The committee will balance several concerns, including the need for flexible faculty and student options, efficient facility use and the University’s goals for the student educational experience. “We're dealing with some basic and big questions about the basis of teaching and learning and the undergraduate experience at Duke,” said Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academics and administration. The 13-member task force, which will likely meet at least once each month beginning in October, will make its recommendations—possibly even maintaining the status quo—in February. said Edna Andrews, chair of the task force and chair of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literature. Lange will consider the report, but any changes would not be made until at least spring 2004. The University has not comprehensively reviewed its scheduling in 30 years. Last spring, the separate University Scheduling Committee proposed adding two more 75-minute MondayWednesday slots in order to alleviate demand for Tuesday-Thursday classes. “The discussion that it evoked led us to see

UNITED NATIONS —The United States intensified efforts to win over Russian and French support for a toughly-worded U.N. resolution on Iraq but Secretary ofState Colin Powell said Thursday he “was a long way from getting an agreement.” The State Department dispatched Undersecretary of State Marc Grossman to Moscow and Paris Thursday to help sell the U.S. plan for a resolution that would lay out a tighter timetable for Iraqi compliance with weapons inspections and authorize force if President Saddam Hussein fails to do so.

The United States had hoped to push through the resolution by Monday, Sept. 30, when chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix is scheduled to meet with Iraqi experts in Vienna to finalize plans for the inspectors’ return.

HEBRON, West Bank Israel killed at least two members of the Islamic terirorist group Hamas Thursday with missiles fired from helicopter gunships into a busy Gaza City street, in a strike at the organization’s top bomb In the wreckage of body parts, smashed cars and shattered windows, it was not certain if Deif, an elusive figure at the top of Israel’s wanted list for a decade, was killed. Hamas and hospital officials denied that he had died. Senior Israeli military officials said that three men died in the target car, a green Mercedes, and that they were still trying to identify the third. Hamas promised retaliation for Thursday’s attack, even as its military wing issued a statement saying Deif had

fooled his pursuers and was not in the Mercedes. As he visited the wounded at Shifa hospital, Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi, a political leader of the group, said, “Hamas will take revenge for each drop of blood.” Asked about recent negotiations among Palestinian factions toward a possible cease-fire, Rantisi said, “Whoever is talking about negotiations, let him go to hell.” In all, more than 30 people were wounded in Thursday’s missile strike, hospital officials said. Bom in the Khan Younis refugee camp, Deif, 37, confined himself to preparing and executing attacks, rather than diversifying like other military leaders of Hamas into recruiting or ideology. Israel holds him responsible for dozens of bombings and other assaults over many years. Among these attacks were a series of devastating bombings in 1996.

Little by little, photonics center builds presence New lab seeks niche in communications, linking Arts and Sciences, medicine, engineering By LIANA WYLER The Chronicle

Those who travel on Science Drive have had to endure some aggravation from recent construction, but one of the biggest reasons for their trouble is well underway—the University’s multimillion-dollar Fitzpatrick Center for Photonics and Communications Systems. The new addition to the Pratt School of Engineering, projected to open in fall 2004, represents one of the University’s latest drives to reach the cutting edge of

engineering technology. “I couldn’t be happier about the progress [of the photonics center],” said Pratt Dean Kristina Johnson. “We have broken ground on the new building, hired several outstanding faculty members, started laboratories in photonics and built bridges to the [Trinity College of] Arts and Sciences and School ofMedicine.” Photonics, defined as the transmission of information encoded on light, is a technology sparking hope for the revival of the telecommunications market and interest in an optically-based communications industry. Financially supported by over $2 million in corporate cash and another $2 million in federal grants, the photonics center has been growing in leaps and bounds since its conception in December 2000. “The atmosphere is quite dynamic,” said Robert Guenther, associate director of education for the center. “We have all the headaches of growing. For example, we don’t have enough people on board. It’s like falling out of a window—it’s okay until you hit the ground.” The center is on-track with its five-year plan to reach maximum capacity—at which point the building should be finished and the other components of the center’s development plan accomplished. Such goals include creating a more hands-on approach to engineering, increasing the strength of the master’s degree program and developing student coalition initiatives. “Our goal at the photonics center is to create a natural integration of digital and physical space, with an emphasized focus on optical networks, biophotonics and information spaces,” said David Brady, director of the center and professor ofelectrical and computer engineering. “Most of the research for the physical layer of systems was accomplished 30 to 40 years ago. Now the question is, ‘How do you use the system to incorporate both aspects optimally?”’ Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach to the study of photonics, the center incorporates electrical engineering, physics, biomedical engineering and practical experience through interaction with corporations

PHOTONICS RESEARCH is currently scattered among several laboratories in the Pratt School of Engineering and elsewhere, but eventually all such work will be centralized in the new Fitzpatrick Center for Photonics and Communications Systems. in the Research Triangle Park. Although there are about 10 photonics centers currently in existence, Duke’s center is unique in its emphasis on research in private industry. Pratt is No. 1 in the nation for corporate support and the photonics center enjoys a particularly strong relationship with Nortel Networks, among other private telecommunications firms interested in photonics. “In the last 20 years, technology has become part of our everyday lives. The importance ofthe corporate relationship is the idea that while historically, engineering was tied to government programs, it’s private companies that are doing a lot to bring the new

technologies to the public,” Brady said. Undergraduate research opportunities at the photonics center also exist and are encouraged. “We are very supportive of undergraduate researchers. An important advantage of [the center] being located here is especially the capabilities of the undergraduates at Duke,” Brady said. The University has also been instrumental in the medical aspect of photonics research. Current research at the center includes developing optical sensors that spectroscopically investigate tissue and using optics to do blood tests without actually drawing blood as well as to perform rapid-screening of blood alcohol levels.

FRIDAY,

Greek leaders focus on unity I As greeks in traditionally white, black and other multicultural groups work together through a central office, they are discovering what they share in common—and what they do not. By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

When all 35 greek chapters convened at a retreat Sept. 15, they were shocked when their knowledge of each other did not extend beyond their own chapters. “We spent about one and a halfhours talking about who each of us are, and we went over a lot of key terms,” said Sheldon Maye, NPHC vice president. “We should go back to the chapters and tell each other about each other.” The communication underscores increasing interaction among the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council and the National Panhellenic Council—all of which will sponsor next week’s Greek Week. Previously, the minority-based NPHC and non-affiliated multicultural fraternities and sororities held their own Greek Week. Duke Student Government President Joshua JeanBaptiste said he hopes the three will work more handin-hand. “I envision all students feeling comfortable,” he said. “I hope to have more co-sponsorships and interactions between the fraternities and sororities.” The unity, spurred in part by the consolidation of student affairs support through the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, is providing some greek leaders with hope that mutual understanding is achievable. Ashley Falcon, president of the Latina Promoviendo Comunidad Lambda Pi Chi sorority, said she hopes students take time to learn more about her sorority and the Latino community in general. Her chapter, like many of the multicultural greek organizations, is relatively new, and was founded in 1998. “I know there have been times in the past when people have been not aware of us and jump to conclusions about who we are and what we’re about,” Falcon said. “It’s a matter of everyone understanding everyone else.” Understanding may come in part though more organization. Nicole Manley, OFSL program coordinator, said multicultural greek groups need an umbrella organization to call their own. “They need to have a

Maye said. “It’s kind of taboo ifyou try to go to one and then go to another.” Falcon said her sorority intake procedure resembles the NPHC system, although the process begins during the sophomore year, not the spring semester of the freshman year. But perhaps the most visible distinction between the two is the lack of NPHC and multicultural group campus housing. Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity is the only NPHC fraternity with West Campus residential housing. Maye said that many greek members block together on Central Campus. He said Central’s location is satisfactory, but West Campus housing would give groups resources like a commons room and a quad fund. A task force, headed by OFSL directorTodd Adams is currently looking at the process through which selective groups can apply for housing. In the meanwhile, Maye said multicultural groups are thriving on their own. “I’m very comfortable living off campus, and the process of getting housing would be difficult,” he said. ‘We don’t need to get West Campus [housing] to survive or to get our name out there.”

more encompassing organization for what they repre-

sent,” she said. “The multicultural greek fraternity is a label that the University slapped on us temporarily because we are not under a formal umbrella group,” said Francisco Folgar, president of La Unidad Latina Lambda Upsilon Lambda fraternity. “We’re working with the administration to figure out what we want to do.” Folgar’s fraternity, an NPHC affiliate until the NPHC adopted a national policy last year to limit its membership to the original black letter organizations, still has close ties to NPHC, as do many ofthe floating cultural greek-letter organizations that have emerged over the past decade. Falcon emphasized that even together, the multicultural groups still have limited resources. ‘We do a lot of co-sponsoring,” she said. ‘We work really closely with the Latino fraternity [and] with the Latino community to put forth our initiatives.” But even as a central greek life office, greater communication and interaction point to progress, each side is finding that the traditional IFC/Panhel greek experience and the traditional NPHC and multicultural greek experience are markedly different—right down to their vocabulary. “When we hear the term rush, we automatically think that’s what the white greeks do,” Maye said. “It’s just because it’s not in our dialect.” “Intake,” rather is the NPHC term for the recruitment of new members. Maye said the NPHC intake process is much less decentralized than the IFC and Panhel rush, as each group has its own criteria and format to conduct intake how it sees fit. Maye added that the fraternities and sororities sponsor informational meetings for potential members to begin the application process. Unlike rushing an IFC or a Panhel chapter, students are discouraged from pursuing more than one chapter. “You commit yourself to one from the beginning,”

Students submit proposals for ‘Race, Sex and God’ By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

After a deadline extension earlier this month allowed a few more entries to trickle in, the committee planning the University’s “Race, Sex and God” competition is reviewing the approximately 14 student proposals it received. Committee members have already reviewed and awarded funding to nine proposals, and they said they plan to finish reviews by Monday. Students will have until Oct. 17 to finish their projects, which will be exhibited in a festival that weekend. The planning committee has not worked out the logistics of how many final prizes they will award or what the prizes will be. “In the meeting, we were all very impressed by the proposals,” said senior Jessie Pinkrah, a member of the planning committee. “Students have come up with some very creative projects.”

The majority of the proposals—which range from videos to murals —have not requested the full $2OO budget that the program offered to each project. With one exception, all projects have been done in teams, and some projects involve entire dormitories, such as Blackwell Dormitory’s plan to create a collage incorporating each hall within the house. The planning committee has received proposals from Few Quadrangle, one proposal from the West-Edens Link, one proposal each from Giles, Alspaugh and Blackwell Dormitories and two proposals each from Jarvis and Southgate Dormitories. The competition is part of a series of events on campus this year entitled “Beyond the Comfort Zone,” which aims to encourage students to engage in meaningful dialogue about diversity, sexuality, religion and the connections among such topics. The series is jointly organized by

the Kenan Institute for Ethics, the Office of Institutional Equity, the Division of Student Affairs, the Department ofReligion and the Chapel. The E.L.

In addition, the legislation would allow local governments to use sales taxes from arenas and convention centers to help offset the cost of building those facilities. The slimmer House plan would use cash grants to lure new businesses to the state. The grants would be limited to 25 companies and $l5 million a year statewide. Each company could receive 75 percent of their employees’ income taxes for up to 12 years. The Senate version includes stricter limits on the grants, allowing no more than 15 agreements totaling $lO million a year.

A bill laden with perks to business and university projects was cleared by a state Senate committee Wednesday and will be debated on the Senate floor soon. The state House, however, is likely to reject the Senate version of the bill. The core of the bill would provide cash grants—based on a percentage of the income tax paid by employees—to companies that agree to come to North Carolina. Senate leaders, however, added a provision to lower the corporate taxes for the initial $30,000 of a company’s state income. They also added measures to

Child, family policy researcher studies at-risk youth By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

In the War on Drugs, Kenneth Dodge is one of the government’s top mercenaries. The National Institutes of Health awarded Dodge, director of the Center for Child and Family Policy, with a Senior Scientist Award for his research involving adolescent behavior and substance abuse prevention. The grant will support Dodge’s research activities over the course of the next five years, paying for salary and overhead costs. Dodge has been most heavily involved with the Fast Track program, which works with children at high risk for problems like drug abuse, violent behavior, unsafe sexual practices, difficulties in school and juvenile delinquency. Preliminary results from this program

show that intervention reduces the risk of hospitalization due to behavioral problems by more than one-third. “To our delight and rigorous evaluations, it seems that this kind of prevention can have a positive impact on the child’s development,” Dodge said. Dodge is also how Kenneth Dodge studying problems evolve throughout children’s development by tracking more than 600 children from ages four to 19, which provides researchers with empirical evidence to help them identify at-risk youth.

Powell stressed that any resolution “must determine what consequences” there will be for Iraq if it fails to disarm and comply. But Russia, France and Arab countries don’t want a resolution threatening force before inspectors can get back inside Iraq. Iraq announced last week that inspectors could return unconditionally nearly four years after they were barred from carrying out their inspection work in the country. The Iraqi move was a surprise response to President George W. Bush’s speech to the United Nations earlier this month in which he warned Iraq to follow through with resolutions or face the consequences.

University and Medical Center are currently being gathered in hopes of finding discernible gender-related patterns, said Judith White, assistant vice president and director of the Residential Programming Review. Vice President for Institutional Equity Sally Dickson added that the working group will examine University treatment of sexual harassment, bonus pay, performance recognition and career advancement opportunities. Due to the massive size of the work force, Keohane has appropriated funds to bring in external consultants, possibly by the end of the semester. Roth said the initiative will also address faculty concerns in considerable depth. Using statistics available through the provost’s office, the working group is examining gender ratios in departments, as well as the breakdown between male and female faculty in terms of salary equity and the tenure process. Individual interviews will explore issues such as the working atmosphere in specific departments. Women’s Center Director Donna Lisker and Duke Student Government Chief ofStaff Emily Grey are cochairing the undergraduate student task force, which has decided to focus the fall semester on social issues and the spring semester on academic issues. “Socially, we are focusing on group conformity, paired conformity and individual conformity [to stereotypes], and how gender plays out in all those aspects,” said Grey, a senior. Issues surrounding eating disorders, date rape and the so-called hook-up culture will come under consideration, Lisker added. Academic gender issues to be discussed in the spring include classroom participation and dynamic, distribution of scholarships and selection of majors among men and women, Grey said. The working committee has already invited speakers and planned focus groups, panels and dorm dialogues to facilitate its discussion-based research. The graduate and professional schools will conduct their research in the reverse order, concentrating on academics first semester ?md social aspects second. “We will first launch a survey to look at the student academic support system and mentoring to get an idea of their experience in graduate and professional schools,” said Jacqueline Looney, associate dean for student affairs at the Graduate School. “After that, we will go into a series of focus groups and discussions.” Looney said students who have dropped out of the graduate and professional schools will be surveyed to determine what factors contributed to their departures. Finally, University officials will set up discussion groups for the second semester with young and old alumni in six select cities: New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Atlanta and San Francisco. Roth said that although the research and accompanying recommendations are due in June, Keohane will most likely release a preliminary report by the end of the school year.

porters of the campaign finance measure say it is needed to avoid the appearance ofbias in court cases. They point out that a majority of contributors to judicial campaigns are lawyers or others with potential interests in cases, and that campaign costs are rising. The plan is expected to raise about $1.2 million a year. Lawyers could also pay an additional $5O in annual fees toward the fund. To be eligible to receive public money, judicial candidates would have to agree to spend only money from the fund-during the general election.

Domestic violence deaths may be on the rise in North Carolina

A woman killed after being forced to drive at gunpoint through two states brought this year’s unofficial domestic violence death toll in North Carolina so far to 40, the same as all of last year. Those deaths included 37 women who were victims of abuse and three bystanders, according to the N.C. Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The 40 victims equal the total number of women killed during all of last year by husbands, former spouses and boyfriends, according to the State Bureau of Investigation. The increase is a break from recent trends, in which the state has had a decline in women killed by intimate partners from a high of 82 in 1993, according to SBI statistics. Domestic-violence experts attribute this year’s increase partly to the stress-inducing economic downturn.

considered 16 candidates and recommended 14 to Lange, who granted tenure to 13. Lange admitted the committee’s 87.5 percent approval rate appeared high, but added that there is some variability in the committee from year to year. Only once last year did the APT committee’s members unanimously reject a tenure candidate, a figure that has steadily decreased over the past three years. “I take that to mean the departments are doing better,” Lange said. The changes to the health plans, proposed by the Faculty Compensation Committee, will include an increase in co-payments—the fees individuals must contribute to their health plans. Trask announced the changes in the meeting’s other major presentation, saying they were necessary to offset the increasing cost of drugs and the expansion of the University’s health coverage. “We were looking at some very substantive increases [in premiumsl if we didn’t make some modest changes [to the plans],” he said. The expansion of the health plans’ coverage also contributed to the increased fees. Projections for 2003 estimate that 43,545 people will be covered by one of the University’s plans, a 16 percent increase from 2000. Trask said the increase is largely due to recent layoffs in the Triangle, which have caused more unemployed people to flock to the University’s strong health plans. “Duke’s plan remains significantly more beneficial than [other plans],” he said. Trask also noted that prescription

“[The Duke health plan is] spending over $1 million on the little purple pill.” Trask said the two trends make the immediate future appear grim. “WeTe very nervous that unless somebody at the federal level does something, we’re going to have some very serious choices to make,” he said. “I > think Lois Ann [Green, director of benefits administration] and I are about to throw up our hands and say, ‘We don’t know what to do next.’”

Football team looks for 2nd win against Navy To ascertain its competitiveness, Duke must win a game originally touted to break its losing streak By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

Devils’ fate could rest on the shoulders of their linebackers.

During the preseason, many critics noted one game on the Blue Devils’ schedule that could have been the end to their embarrassing 23-game losing streak. The game circled was Duke’s Sept. 28th date with the Navy Midshipmen (1-2). Despite ending the ignominious streak against ECU, Duke still has much to prove this weekend in Annapolis, Md. “This is a game we need to win,” head coach Carl Franks said. “It’s just as important as the East Carolina game.” Navy’s high-powered offense racks up an average of 32 points per game, exactly doubling Duke’s output. Only one name comes to mind when the Midshipmen have the ball: Chris Candeto. Navy’s option offense allows

CHRIS DOUGLAS has recovered from his ankle injury and will be one of Duke’s key offensive threats

Both team’s defenses allow more than 30 points a game, which should lead to an offensive slugfest. Duke’s main offensive threats, Alex Wade and Chris Douglas, do most of their damage on the ground and when healthy they are a formidable pair. After sitting out last week’s game with an ankle injury, Douglas should be ready this weekend to carry the ball for the Blue Devils. This may be necessary because Franks is skeptical about his offenses’ passing ability. “We’re different offensively than I expected being with the loss of D. Bryant,” Franks said. “We have to concentrate more on running the football and bringing the passing game along slowly.” This weekend would not be a bad Candeto to roam the field as he pleases, time for the Blue Devils to try and assert and he gives defenses nightmares themselves in the air often, as Navy has through the air and on the ground. He previously given up 65 points to the leads the team in passing and rushing nation’s highest-rated passer, Philip with a combined 700 total yards in three Rivers, and the N.C. State offense. “I think everybody who plays us is games. In addition, he has run into the endzone seven times and averages over going to try and run the ball—they are five yards a carry. Franks could not find going to mash us,” Navy head coach a practice player to simulate Navy’s star Paul Johnson said. “We aren’t very big and we haven’t stopped the run. If I was but he is confident in his defense’s abilgoing to play us I would run it.

Since National Player ofthe Year Christian Laettner graduated from Duke in 1992, a new standard for prototypical Duke basketball players was born. Laettner and the versatile players that followed—Grant Hill, Mike Dunleavy, and others—were marked by multi-faceted styles of play that made them practically indefensible, Women’s basketball head coach Gail Goestenkors has recruited and coached similar all-around talents in Georgia Schweitzer and current star Alana Beard. in freshman phenom Brooke Smith, Goestenkors has found another similarly protean star. A 6-foot-3 center out of Marin Catholic High School in San Anselmo, Calif., Smith is as versatile as Goestenkors is intense. Rick Demartini, Smith’s high school basketball coach, relished the opportunity of developing and benefiting from Smith’s myriad talents for four years. “She could score, she was a great defender and a phenomenal shot blocker,” Demartini said. “She passes

In her four-year career as a Wildcat she registered 71 doubledoubles en route to leading Marin Catholic to a 110-19 overall mark. She holds school records in every conceivable category, including career points (1,760), rebounds (1,479), blocks (464) and steals (410). Her leadership skills and amicability are equally impressive, “Everybody looked up to her and everything kind of focused through Brooke,” Demartini said. “She elevated our team play and she pushed us to be at our best all the time.” That Smith was honored as a High School Hero by See SMITH on page 16

The Blue Devils will have to face a boatload of challenges Saturday. With Candeto leading Navy’s attack, which at least kept up with Northwestern in a 49-40 loss, the Midshipmen host Duke while defending their pride at Homecoming and craving their best start since 1997—when they began 2-2. However, Navy has been continually crippled by sloppy play and lacks a solid defense. If the Blue Devils can find away to maintain consistent play, they will have a chance to take it.

Devil resurrection. “We’re going to come out ready to play,” goalie Justin Trowbridge said. “Against Maryland, we didn’t feel like we had the same intensity we had against Clemson. We’re going to come out much more intense against UNC.” Duke’s most critical adjustment, however, has nothing to do with the

game of soccer. “We’re going to try to get healthy this week,” Rennie said last Tuesday. “We should get Matt White back. Joe Kelly has been out, he may or may not be back. And we’ve had a bunch of guys playing hurt; Matt Ahumada, Ryan Kerlew, a variety of players. We’ll have a

chance to recover.”

Duke will have to be in top form against the Tar Heels, a team boasting three legitimate All-America candidates in defender David Stokes and forwards David Testo and Ryan Kneipper. The

Duke will have to play composed in its early defensive and offensive series, especially on the road in front of Navy’s homecoming crowd. “I’m sure that Navy feels like they should win this game too,” Franks said. “Especially when a lot of people predicted this was the first game we’d win this year.”

The Program on Values and Ethics in the Marketplace

The purpose of VEM is to expose undergraduate students to the crucial ethical and practical issues relevant to today’s marketplace. The premise of VEM is that ethics is —that one’s values influence one’s views on specific important problems such as: employer-employee relations, corporate restructuring, international marketing, antitrust, and stakeholder versus shareholder theories of a corporation. VEM helps students see the bridge between ethical theory and the practice of management, between the classroom and the “real world” of industry.

VEM activities scheduledfor this school year:

after just eight games this season. North Carolina’s midseason slump may then appear difficult to decipher. The Tar Heel’s 1-0 loss to Davidson was actually dominated by UNC, which outshot the Wildcats 14-3. A Tar Heel defender scored an own goal in the 49th minute of play, and North Carolina was unable to recover for its first loss of the year. The impetus of a loss to Yale isn’t quite as difficult to identify, however. Although the stellar play of Lindsey Williams and Justin Burton—Yale’s pair of All-America candidates —posed a challenge for North Carolina, the 2-1 loss can be attributed to Testo. The second leading Tar Heel scorer in 2001, Testo had been arrested on charges of assault during an altercation at a Chapel Hill bar previous to the game against Yale, a game from which he was suspended. “They had some internal problems,” Rennie said. “They had to rebuild their defense and they had some injuries, too.” Testo is back, however, as is the

“Right now they’re at the top of their game, and they still have as good an offense as anybody,” Rennie said. The Blue Devils are primed to slam the breaks on North Carolina’s attack, however. Duke has spent the last week perfecting its set offensive plays and working on its Achilles Heel—defending corner kicks. Each of the Terrapins’ three goals came on corners. “We’ve really worked on getting across our men and getting in front of them, not letting them have free headers on goal,” Trowbridge said. This will be the first of many North Carolina games for Duke’s contingent of seven freshman. The septet has been instrumental in Duke’s return to the national ranks, and will be equally crucial against the experienced Tar Heels. Rennie dismissed doubts regarding his team’s youth, however, and is confident they will be ready for Saturday night’s clash. “There’s no need to have an added incentive for the Duke-UNC game,” Rennie said. “It will be very emotional, very intense, and you have to be ready

The Chronicle Dukies for Dole? Several prominent University officials voiced their support for senate candidate Elizabeth Dole, raising questions of conflict of interest between politics and University duties

Mike

Krzyzewski and Gail Goestenkors were the two most famous hosts for a reception held Wednesday at the Washington Duke Inn for U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Dole, Woman’s College ’5B. A gaggle of other prominent Duke administrators and affiliates also served as hosts for the reception, including University Counsel David Adcock, Duke University Health System Chief Financial Officer Kenneth Morris, Annual Fund Executive Committee member Anne Faircloth and former basketball player Jack Marin. The reception, entitled “Blue Devils for Dole,” was held at a University-owned campus hotel, and invitations were mailed to many alumni and University employees. While the co-hosts certainly have the right to support whichever political candidate they choose separate from Duke, the collective effect of their joint sponsorship, the title of the reception, the location it was held at and the composition of the mailing list give the impression that this was a University-sponsored event and that the University itself is lending its support to Duke. The impression that the University is lending its support to Dole is particularly the case because of Krzyzewski’s involvement. Krzyzewski is one of the most prominent University officials, and people across the country associate his name and image with Duke. With his name on the reception, the impression is immediately given that the University itself sponsored the event. Senior administrators such as President Nan Keohane and Provost Peter Lange make it a policy not to publically endorse candidates or donate money to campaigns. This sort of detachment is appropriate in order to maintain the objectivity that is necessary to conduct academic inquiry and discourse. The most suspicious aspect of the reception is the invitation list. No one will comment on how the list was compiled, but it seems as if the names were gathered from a list of of Duke alumni that should be kept private by the University. Alumni lists should not be abused for political purposes. Again, while individuals have the right to participate in the political process, in this situation it is appearances that matter, and the appearance of this Dole banquet reflects poorly on the University.

Letters to the editor

Criticism of U.S. does not imply anti'Americanism I would like to clarify some of the comments that were attributed to me in the Set. 24 article on the state of U.S.-German relations. I do

not, in fact, disagree with any of my colleagues’ statements that U.S.-German relations have been strained Chancellor Gerhard by outspoken Schroeder’s remarks against the Bush

administration’s unilateral move towards war on Iraq, The point I was making is

that voicing criticism of current U.S. policy does not translate simply into antiAmericanism. This is the demagoguery of President George W. Bush’s “if you’re not for us you’re against us” rhetoric. The enormous outpouring of German sympathy, support and solidarity with America after the Sept 11 attacks attests to the degree to which Germans are “with us.” Many Germans, along with many Europeans

and even Americans, agree with Schroeder that unilateral action against Iraq is dangerous and misguided. It is not this criticism that is antiAmerican. But an unprovoked unilateral war against Iraq is sure to produce further anti- American senti-

ments around the world.

Coming Out Week a celebration of individualism Regarding Bill English’s Sept. 23 column “My Right To Not Support Gay And Lesbian Groups.” I feel bad that English is mislabeled a homophobe when he claims his beliefs are to the contrary, and I agree when he says that “this week’s events aren’t about tolerance.” But I do not believe he understands that this week’s events are about identity. If anything, this week is about being proud of who you are; it’s about passion and self-discovery; it’s about wanting to hold up my voice and not my tongue. Why should Coming Out Week be judged as a “pathetic and ugly display of a faux

moral righteousness,” when clearly it is an event to be celebrated, an ideal upon which America was founded? In a country that screams the essence of Moses, Gandhi, Malcolm X; and Betty Friedan—a country that notoriously refuses to shut up—how can we not interpret the events of this week as a call to know and love ourselves and one another? Despite the “explicit political goals of these demonstrations,” we should not ignore what is beyond the politics. Granted, nobody deserves to be represented by a radical

to be represented by the extreme individuals. Yes, there are obviously going to be radicals amongst the participants of Coming Out Week, who will be out in front of the Chapel and in your face about it. But aside from its political implications, we should see Coming Out Week not just as a political call for

tolerance, but as a celebration of identity and the freedom to choose how to express

this identity, whether it be shaving your head and kissing on the Chapel Quad or staying at home and being with the one you love.

Muslims feel as if Sept. 11 has put them on trial Dr. Bala Ambati, I would like to praise your efforts in trying to build an inter-community dialogue. Your comments on the rigidity of some Muslims are shared by many themselves. Muslims However, I believe you forget a very important underlying fact regarding your endeavor. Many Muslims feel as if Sept. 11 has put Islam on trial. While the attention devoted to understanding and tolerating Muslims is well noted, the only reason Islam has been given such recognition is because of the heinous actions of 19 Muslims. When David Koresh, James Kopp or Baruch Goldstein committed atrocities based on their perceptions of religious values,

no one delved into the Bible or Torah, searching for any ambiguous passages pointing to a more fundamental issue in Christianity or Judaism. It was understood that their could be no justification on such grounds. However, when a Muslim commits a crime, must everyone turn to the Qur’an? Why not examine the

conditions in Palestine, the poverty and illiteracy in Pakistan or the mass graves in Bosnia? An individual’s

knowledge and experiences shape their religious views. It is a shame that understanding of Islam is promoted in times of turmoil rather than in more prosperous years. In regards to the reaction you received, I ask that you

understand the defensive attitude Muslims have assumed. If you walked into a Christian church and pointed out Biblical verses you believe condone misogyny or slavery, how do you believe your reception would be? There will always be the intolerant ones. Islam is not new or an exception to these effects. Contrary to the “clash of civilizations” claim, Islam, like all religions before it, is experiencing a “clash within a civilization.” The best way to handle the few who are hostile is to promote such important religious discussions in the context of a friendly environment.

Commentary

The Chronicle

Gore’s bad decisions Days before the 2000 Presidential election, Joe Lieberman said that when he thought “of a solitary figure standing in the Oval Office, weighing life and death decisions that can affect the security of our country and the stability of the world,” he saw A1 Gore. Given the content of the speech Gore made Monday at the Club Commonwealth San Francisco, we should all give thanks that Lieberman’s vision did not become a reality. Nathan Gore spent 55 minutes on Monday p t Garieton bashing the Bush administration, GettingDown mainly for its plans to oust Saddam Hussein and handling and politicizing to Business of the war on terror. An examination of some his comments should make one grateful that he is unemployed. When Gore began by claiming to be concerned that the Bush administration’s Iraqi policy could “seriously damage our ability to win the war against terrorism,” he showed the key flaw in his argument, an unfair distinction between the war on terror and a potential war with Iraq. President George W. Bush "‘has continually described the war on terror as a war against evil people who threaten American security. And given Saddam Hussein’s trackrecord, inclusion in the “Axis ofEvil,” and the fact that Hynek Kmonicek, the Czech envoy to the United Nations, has confirmed that MohamedAtta met with Iraqi diplomat Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir AlAniin in April 2001, it is clear that he should be one of our biggest targets. In order to support his argument that the United States cannot partake in additional military actions, Gore calls the war on terror unsuccessful. He says that Americans should not be “distracted from this urgent task simply because it is proving to be more difficult and lengthy than predicted.” The problem with this argument is that the war on terror has only proved to be difficult and lengthy, not more difficult and lengthy than predicted. It is less than a year old, and the President has said from day one that it will be difficult, likely outlasting his time in office. Gore’s characterization of it is therefore as inaccurate as it is inappropriate. Gore also argues that America should not “jump from one unfinished task to another.” Forget for a moment that the two are the same task. Such a comment still shows that Gore wishes to handcuff the administration. Since the war on terror is a war against evil people who pose danger to Americans, it likely will .never be completely finished. For Gore to use its incompleteness as reason to not partake in another task is akin to banning all other future military actions. Gore continually harps on the issue of coalition. He claims that “many of our allies in Europe and Asia are thus far opposed to what President Bush is doing” and argues that a coalition will keep the US. from alienating the rest of the world. Though I wonder why he didn’t propose this strategy in 1998 or 2000, when he claimed to favor unilateral action, the main problem with his reasoning is that the allies he so desperately desires the .support of have proven themselves to be overly passive. Americans have always been thought of as hawks and cowboys, and it should not be of concern that we are now. We have the duty, as well as the capability, to eliminate the security threat Iraq poses and should not refrain from carrying it out because a bunch of socialists who are generally afraid to act until it’s too late don’t want us to. The war on terror has not been a failure. A regime has been overthrown and a gender liberated. Numerous terrorist training camps have been destroyed. And hundreds of terrorists have been brought to justice while others are scurrying from cave to cave, constantly looking over their shoulders. On Monday, A1 Gore underscored the war’s impact and claimed that we should not target one ofthe most evil, irrational and dangerous men in the world. He then had the audacity to condemn the president for being political. And just why was A1 Gore making this speech? As a concerned citizen who merely wished to express his views? Of course not. Matt Drudge has already reported that Gore has decided to run for president in 2004. Is anyone surprised? Every decision this man has ever made has been intended to get him elected president. Given the views he offered Monday, it’s a good thing that he makes such bad ones. _

University must support parents I recently overheard one student say to another, “Look! You never see little kids on campus.” He was pointing to a four- or five-year-old painstakingly peddling his bike around the East Campus quad.

With fall hostYouWrite ing a campus hookLike A Girl up session, winter showing a settle-down season and May as the make-it-or-break it month, Duke’s dating habits are as easy to spot as fashion fads. We already know the new Anne Taintor address books are hot. Now we need to know: Whose digits should we be scribbling into them? If you’re following the current campus trend, the answer is: “Relationship?” laughed a friend, pausing 10 Things I Hate About You to talk. “Whatever. I have no time, no interest and definitely no prospects.” Some students are working overtime, some are working out and some are just working it on the dance floor. But this semester, we’re overcommitted—and also against a committed relationship. „

“Besides,” sighed a sorority sister as we left Pizza Palace, “it’s not like you can plan when you’ll meet someone. That stuff just happens.” She scarfed some pepperoni and continued. “Girls trying to find a guy? They’ll always settle for the wrong one.” I nodded. When you force a connection that isn’t there, everybody loses. “And don’t forget my favorite proverb,” chirped my shopping buddy as she sampled lip-gloss: “Better alone than badly accompanied. I’d rather have the right bag on my arm then the wrong boy in my arms anytime.” But the In Bloke for fall isn’t always wrong; he’s just recycled. A popular choice for juniors and seniors, returning to an ex is like pulling out the Doc Martens we ditched in high school—once they were comfortable but totally over, now they’re back in style and back in our lives. “We don’t want to face the future, so we reach for the past,” mused my friend at the career fair. Maybe she’s right. Faster than an order of fries, our future is being served. By asking past flames to provide a different kind of service, we have the comfort of knowing while life zooms ahead, some bedrooms (and the couples in them) never change. Currently, “we

I’m in a new relationship and it’s great. I think this could be the beginning of something big.” I smiled and scoped her outfit; Anne Taylor button-up, denim skirt, pearls. And then I told her, “Some people like their relationships the way they like their clothes: easy, constant and classic.” But for Duke slaves to fashion, it’s easy to want the Next Big Thing. It could be a Balenciaga bag; it could be a boy. But fashions are

Good luck, happy Friday and props to the girls in the ski boots. Faran Krentcil is a Trinity senior and senior editor of Recess. Her column appears every other Friday.
