PROTESTERS GATHER on the quad carrying anti-war signs and chanting slogans such as “No blood for oil.” The event organizers called the rally, which attracted hundreds of students and faculty members, a success.

Students, faculty protest for Iraqi peace By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

Hundreds gathered in front of the Chapel Wednesday as students and faculty—even a few from other universities—took up the megaphone in opposition to a war on Iraq. Following an hour of soap-boxing, protest organizers led an energized crowd in a march around the main quadrangle, shouting out slogans such as “No blood for oil!” and “Bush, Cheney, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?” Protest organizers said they felt the

large turnout was indicative of the protest’s success and that it was a good starting point for further discussion. The protest, which came one day before Congress votes on a war resolution, was organized by a relatively new coalition of students who have met over the past several weeks to discuss U.S. military action in Iraq. “This [protest] was successful because it was just a bunch of individuals—not a formal group—who are concerned with the issue. It really unites the campus,” said sophomore Sajid Anwar, one of the

protest organizers. “Now I think that more people will be involved until the issue is resolved.”

Senior Jillian Johnson, who also helped organize the rally, noted that at least 75 people signed up to receive more information about the case against military action in Iraq. Many of those who spoke Wednesday said that President George W. Bush’s attitude toward Iraq is such that active protest is absolutely necessary. See IRAQ PROTEST on page 6

Lack of social space may increase graduate attrition This is the fourth story in a five-part series examining attrition among graduate students. By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Whether it is a lounge, an office or simply a place to grab a quick snack, graduate student gathering space is becoming increasingly important and limited on campus. By overlooking student lounge and office space, Graduate School officials said, the University is contributing to doctoral candidate attrition by not fostering a relaxing and intellectual environment in departments and by isolating students from one another and from the faculty. “Too few departments have room for students to meet socially and talk,” said Dean of the Graduate School Lewis Siegel. “Meeting space is not one of the University’s top priorities.” Students and faculty agreed that the benefits of such space are plentiful, but are unsure whether space has a significant impact on attrition rates. Three years ago, the political science graduate student lounge was split in half to create a conference room. Thomas Scotto, a fourth-year doctoral student in the department, said that lack of lounge space, compounded with limited office areas and poor parking options, leads many advanced students to spend little time on campus. “It adds to the overall isolating experience that graduate school See ATTRITION on page 7

Creating a provisional government would give the exile groups a head start in controlling the country’s vast oil wealth, causing bitter resentment and perhaps even civil war, they contend. “The idea of a provisional central government is just a power grab, as far as I can see,” said a person involved in State Department planning for a post-Hussein government.

DSG approves changes, groups By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

THE WEST-EDENS LINK was completed just in time for students’ arrival in August, but the landscaping surrounding the new dormitory has yet to surface, due to the continuing drought.

Drought delays WEL landscaping By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

Water restrictions during Durham’s prolonged drought have forced frustrated administrators and staff to postpone landscaping outside of the WestEdens Link. City officials announced Wednesday that water is still critically low, adding that ifthe current rates of use continue, Durham’s water supply will only last 93 days. Roger Belanger, program coordinator at the office of the executive vice president, said he is disappointed with the delay in the WEL landscaping. “I had envisioned going down there after student move-in and seeing students throwing frisbees and hanging out,” Belanger said. He added that he and Judith White, assistant vice president and director of residential programming, have tried to include students’ social needs in the landscaping design of the WEL. Nearly two months into the semester, however, only orange mesh fences, weeds and dirt decorate the quad. “It’s just awful,” Belanger said. Because of the drought, administrators had hoped to take advantage of the colder weather to implement the landscaping design, said Joseph Jackson, manag-

er of grounds and sanitation in the Facilities Management Department. “The colder, the better. When plants are in dormancy, which would be in late fall, early winter, that is a good time to move plants around because they require less watering... [than] when they’re growing and the weather is warmer,” Jackson said. However, Belanger said current water restrictions could only support trees. “Basically, we have the option of going ahead with trees now,” he said. “Then we have shrubbery and the third area which takes the most water is grass, turf and seed.” Although Belanger said he hopes to have landscaping completed by winter break, he added that.plans all depend on whether Durham eases the water restrictions. “Duke is honoring the water restrictions imposed by the city, so we really can’t be using that much water on the WEL site unless we stop using water somewhere else,” he said. If the city does not allow the University to begin watering now, landscaping may be delayed until next spring.

Legislators unanimously approved amendments to the Student Organization Finance Committee bylaw and elected members to the Duke Student Government Judiciary and the SOFC after rejecting a request for a group’s charter at DSG’s meeting Wednesday night. The amendments—instituted by SOFC chair and junior Pushpa Raja—included having a representative from Campus Council on the committee after the organization contributed $35,000, instituting stricter consequences for late submissions ofrenewed charter requests, officially removing the University Union from funding, allowing SOFC to approve funding requests of up to $5OO and giving DSG discretion to approve $5OO- to $2,000-funding requests by a majority and requests of more than $2,000 by two-thirds vote. Six out of seven student groups that applied were either chartered or recognized by the legislature, including the Duke University Chorale, the Defining Movement Dance Troupe, the Dance Dance Revolution Club, Duke Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, the Duke Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance and Camp Kesem. The legislature, though, denied senior Josh Soft’s request to charter the Duke Surf Club. “I think we’re getting a little out of hand with approving all of these clubs,” said senior Thaniyyah Ahmad, vice president of community interaction. “We just approved the SCUBA Club [last week]—I mean, you could share a bus, you both have to get to the ocean,” she added, suggesting the groups share costs. Though some legislators said it was only fair to approve the club after the SCUBA Club’s recognition, others questioned instruction and safety issues, to which Soft replied that he“hadn’t really thought about safety.” Some legislators were hesitant to approve clubs because they were concerned about limited funds. “Let’s not set these groups up for failure when we can’t give them the support that they need,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Troy Clair. Vice President for Facilities and Athletics Cliff Davison, a junior, also announced Traffic and Parking Services added two buses to their East-West route Monday. Five students were elected to SOFC: juniors Uday Chatteijee and Edward Keith and freshmen Jim Liu, Katie Jandel and Paige Sparkman. Legislators elected freshman Hao Fung, sophomore Katie Wiison-Milne and junior Peri Kadaster and appointed seniors Evan Davis and Kristin Heinz and sophomore Rahmin Sarabi to the DSG Judiciary.

Two candidates —John Lewis and Sanford Bishop —are running unopposed, while David Scott, Charles Walker Jr., and Denis Majette are seeking election for the first time. The candidates argue that a vote for them is an affirmation that Georgia is shedding its historical racial divisions. All the candidates are Democrats running in Democratic-majority districts, and many were chosen in black-majority Democratic primaries.

The Republican National Committee report was issued as Democrats pledged to monitor polling places around the country during the Nov. 5 election this year to ensure that all people entitled to vote get to cast their ballots. Pennsylvania had 29,708 cases of voters also registered to cast ballots in other states, the report noted.

The rallying cry to save Social Security has pitted the North Carolina Senate candidates against each other—trading jibes in advertisements and speeches. The question ofwhether to privatize Social Security is at the forefront ofthe campaign between Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Elizabeth Dole. The issue has become even more contentious in light of the fact that older people generally vote at higher rates than younger people, especially in an off-year election, said Ted Arrington, professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. In order to stave off a projected shortfall of $5 trillion in 2017, Dole supports giving younger workers the option of voluntarily investing a small portion of their payroll taxes into a

government-approved index fund, said her press secretary Mary Brown Brewer. “No one’s talking about privatizing,” she cautioned. To the Bowles campaign, however, the strategy sounds perilously close to privatization, and Bowles has warned U.S, voters that Dole’s strategy could de- ERSKINE BOWLES (LEFT) greets a supporter last year.

Nguyen, Price face off in U.S. House race Incumbent touts solid record; newcomer promises to bring fresh ideas to Congress By RYAN WILLIAMS The Chronicle

The race for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from North Carolina’s newly redrawn 4th Congressional District will pit a seven-term incumbent against a political newcomer. Incumbent David Price, a Chapel Hill resident and professor of political science and public policy on leave from Duke, won the Democratic primary without any opponents. Tuan Nguyen, a 27-year-old flight instructor from Cary, also ran unopposed in the Republican primary. Nguyen is running on three main issues: campaign finance reform, tax reform and education. He wants to lower taxes across the board and close loopholes in the current tax code that allow wealthy individuals to pay less than their fair share of taxes. He also said Congress does not have enough members with “real life experience,” in part due to campaign finance laws that benefit incumbents. “We really lack ordinary citizens in government today,” Nguyen said. He said he would work to change campaign finance laws to make it easier for challengers to seek office. He also accused

Price of talking about campaign finance reform while at the same time receiving contributions from special interest groups and large corporations such as Worldcom. However, Price said he is a strong supporter of the 1997 Shays-Meehan bill, which places a ban on unlimited soft money contributions—previously unregu-

lated donations from special interests and corporations that is given to political parties and funneled to campaigns. The bill also includes a provision requiring politicians to verify that their televised advertisements are accurate or, as Price describes them, “a full-screen picture of the candidate taking responsibility for what he’s putting on the air.” In addition to addressing changes to campaign finance, Price also discussed his support of accounting reform. He voted earlier this year for a bill that establishes a regulatory body for the accounting profession, separates accounting and consulting functions in firms and stipulates regulations to prevent the likes of the Enron and Worldcom corporate scandals.

PAULY DOGS AND THE LOOP will not implement delivery services in the immediate future, despite plans last year to start using them. Both vendors cited booming business as reasons for not needing to deliver.

Loop, Pauly Dogs scrap plans for delivery service By EMILY ALMAS The Chronicle

Pope did not rule out possible delivery in the future. “There are many possibilities for The Loop and yes, delivery is potentially one of them,” he said. “But we’re very popular and I don’t think production would be able to keep up.” The Loop, a franchise based in Chapel Hill, arrived on campus in fall 2000 and is one of the most successful eateries on campus. Students expressed disappointment that neither Pauly Dogs nor The Loop would begin delivery, but others said they were unsure if the two vendors would even get much business for delivery. “There’s a lot of selection for delivery, and of course it would be much better if they [Pauly Dogs and the Loop] did start delivering, but I don’t know if they’d get much delivery business being right on campus, as opposed to Grace’s Cafe on Central [Campus],” said sophomore Brett Goodwin. “Still, I’m kind of disappointed they’re not.” Junior David Mooney, who lives on Central, thought there are already plenty of food delivery options. “Pauly Dogs or The Loop delivery is not going to make or break my dining experience,” he said. Yet freshmen, who live on East Campus, seemed most distraught. “I am very

Despite plans discussed last year, freshmen will still have to go to West Campus to get their tomato bisque. Both The Loop and Pauly Dogs took steps toward delivery last spring, but the t\yo West jCampus vendors have put those plans on indefinite hold. * T Spencer Pope, manager of The Loop, said he foresees no Loop delivery in the immediate future, due to what he called already-bustling student demand. Pauly Konstanzer, owner of Pauly Dogs, said adding Philly cheese steaks to a potential delivery menu has also been scuttled in favor of operating hot dog service during late-night hours on the weekend. Pauly Dogs, which had sporadically operated last year during late-night basketball victories and other celebrations, hired an extra employee, Ted Bullock, to work the cart—which moves to Main West Quadrangle at night from its daytime location outside The Loop—Thursday through Saturday evenings until 4:30 a.m, He said he hopes to expand late-night service throughout the week. “You know I’m going to stick to what I do,” Konstanzer said. “That’s what I do. I’m the hot dog guy.” disappointed,” said freshman lan Zack. Although The Loop will not be keeping a late-night pace with Pauly Dogs, “I really like The Loop’s food.”

HOUSE RACE from page 4 Both Nguyen and Price cited education as a big issue in their campaigns. Nguyen said he will work to provide for more local control over education. “Some of our schools are floundering,” he said. “I think that has a lot to do with the control Washington has on our education system.” Price noted that he authored the Education Affordability Act, a law that allows families to deduct interest on student loans and withdraw money from an investment retirement account for education expenses without penalties. He also pushed for the Advanced Technology Education program, which sup-

ports technical education programs at community colleges.

Although the candidates disagree on some issues, both Price and Nguyen felt that othef options should be exhausted before the United States enters a war

with Iraq. Nguyen said he supports President George W. Bush’s current position, though he wants weapons inspectors to have another chance to ascertain Iraq’s possession of biological and chemical weapons. Price also believes there may come a time when force is necessary against Iraq, though he wants Congress to have the ability to vote on war later. He said he is opposed to Bush’s present request that Congress allow military action under almost any conditions.

For example, the space created between Craven Quadrangle and the WEL’s House C was designed as

“The question then becomes whether it makes more sense to just plant during the cooler months of the year or whether the city would rather that we wait to do the grass next spring,” Belanger said.

However, such a system is not likely to be implemented, said Frank Sloan, director of Duke’s Centerafor Health Policy, Law and Management and who has done research focusing on aging. Privatization, even in a limited sense, undermines Social Security’s role as a safety net, he said. “In principle, you wouldn’t need

Bowles press secretary Susan Lagana said Bowles will work to save Social Security by making use of his budget-balancing skills and investing the current surplus in the Social Security Trust Fund. Some privatization supporters concede that Dole’s plan makes more sense for younger workers. “The closer you are to retirement, the less good it would do you,” said Michael Tanner, Social Security expert at the Cato Institute, a policy research foundation in Washington, D.C. “You will have to find some money to continue to pay for older people... but less of it than to keep the current system going.” And since Dole’s proposed system would be voluntary, the money diverted into private funds would not be of great enough magnitude to cause the system to collapse, Brew-

JUNIOR JOE FRANKLIN protests in a rally on the quad Wednesday. The demonstration occurred one day before Congress will vote on a new resolution to attack Iraq.

IRAQ PROTEST from page 1 “Regardless of whether or not we can stop the war, we must protest. We have no choice,” said Becky Thompson, visiting associate professor of African and African American Studies. “We, the people gathered here today, make a promise not to leave our pens, our words, our actions lying in somebody else’s blood.” Thompson likened the United States’ recent history with Iraq to a fairy tale gone

if everybody put money in private savings... [but] clearly the idea is that people are improvident.... [You] take some money away from Peter to pay poor Paul.” Despite the fact that Bowles’ campaign platform fails to specifically address a method to save Social Security, Arrington said he exrespond voters to pects ideologically. “The older people in general will probably go with Bowles,” he said. “The Democrats have a pretty good record of making older people unsure about the willingness of Republicans to protect Social Security.”

Are you proud of me?”’ Thompson said. “To me it seems like [the United States] missed a really early lesson on how to play in the sandbox.” Associate Professor of English Srinivas Aravamudan also addressed the crowd, articulating three objections to a war with Iraq. He said the most troubling of these was that a shift to a pre-emptive strategy could encourage other nations to take similarly unjustified actions. “It is utterly irresponsible. We are em-

barking on a new imperial era of carnage,” Aravamudan said. “By opposing this war, we’re also opposing many, many other such wars.” One of the students, junior David Allen, put the situation with Iraq into a Christian context and said that too many Christians use a sentimental attachment to Israel to dehumanize attacks against the Arab world. “I’m here as a Christian to say that this world is unholy” Allen said. “The gospel de-

mands that we oppose this war.” Many students in attendance said they were glad the protest had taken place and that so many students had participated. “[Bush’s] administration has been brilliant in making a case against Iraq out of no substantial evidence,” said freshman Jared Fish, who did not help organize the protest, but who is a member of the coalition. “I’m glad people are finally listening, talking about it and getting upset about it. It’s a great start.” Sophomore Toby Chu said she was not previously involved in any of the anti-war dis-

cussions, but that the protest had excited her interest in the topic. “I don’t know a lot about opposition to the war with Iraq, and that’s why I came to the protest,” she said.

ATTRITION from page 1 can be in the later stages. People stay home and write, write, write,” Scotto said. “You don’t learn in the classroom in graduate school—you learn from your colleagues and through casual conversation.” Professor Henry Weller, director of graduate studies for physics, said his department is using gathering space to safeguard against that isolation by encouraging graduate students to meet regularly three afternoons a week in the faculty lounge. “We think that graduate students learn more from one another than they do anyone else,” Weller said. “New graduate students can interact with more senior students and be mentored by them.” Based on attendance at these and other events, Weller said, faculty can sometimes identify students who are isolating themselves. “The students that tend to drop away usually break off from the group before,” Weller said. “I can see it coming: they become less and less visible [in the faculty lounge] and do not attend all their classes. They’re doing things on their own, and that’s a sign they are not feeling part of our department.” Weller, Scotto and others, however, said they do not believe lounge and office space is a significant factor in a doctoral candidate’s decision to drop out or switch to a master’s degree. “Much of [attrition] has to do with the individual personality,” said Ronald Witt, director of graduate

The woman was taken to the Duke Hospital emergency room and later released, Duke officials said. The assailant was described as a white man, 18 to 25 years old, between 5’10” and 6’ tall, with a stocky build and longish brown hair. He was wearing a red shirt and jeans. All dormitory bathrooms are locked and only students with keys can open those locks. As a result of Wednesday’s incident, University officials said they will meet with students this week about adding a second lock to bathroom doors so only women can access female bathrooms and only men have access to male bathrooms, said Vice President for Student Affairs

Larry Moneta. A long-term solution they are now considering is requiring the use of DukeCards to electronically control bathroom locks, he said. Moneta said he and DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead have been analyzing other possible measures to improve safety, and will continue to do so. Duke officials met with dorm residents late Wednesday night to discuss the incident. Police said no suspects had yet been identified, but that they would be meeting with many of the dorm’s residents over the next week in search of information. They added that police and security patrols will monitor the dorm hourly and other dorms on campus randomly until further notice. Moneta, who also attended the meeting, said he hoped that both East and West Campus dormitory bathrooms could have second locks added by Friday and that separate keys

would be issued. Anyone with information pertaining to the case can contact Duke Police at 684-4713.

IRAQ from page 2 In his nationally televised speech Monday, President Bush spoke only in broad terms about how the administration and its coalition partners would deal with a post-Hussein Iraq, a series of plans that White House officials say is still evolving. “If military action is necessary, the United States and our allies will help the Iraqi people rebuild their economy and create the institutions of liberty in a unified Iraq at peace with its neighbors,” Bush said. The differences over a provisional government exemplify a rift on Iraq policy that has bedeviled

the Bush administration and disrupted planning for reconstructing Iraq if Hussein is deposed, Iraq experts say. Hawks close to the Pentagon blame the disruptions on the State Department, arguing the agency has been slow to plan for a post-Hussein government because it dislikes the exile groups, particularly the Iraqi National Congress.

studies for history and chair of the Arts and Sciences Council. “The people we have lost—those who have taken their masters and left—were because of so many other reasons.” Heather Dean, a third-year doctoral student in neurobiology, said her department’s lounge was replaced with lab space a few months ago. “It was a good place for people to relax and get out of lab for a few minutes and eat and talk... but I don’t feel [the loss of it] will play a large role in at-

trition,” she said. Rather than affecting attrition rates, Dean and Scotto said, lounges and offices probably have a greater impact on recruitment. Duke pales in comparison to many of its peers in providing such space, often a deciding factor for interested students, Scotto said. By effectively using gathering space to facilitate student and faculty interaction, departments may attract and retain more students. For example, the math department has a lounge and offices where students can hang out, study or meet, as well as a daily 3:30 p.m. “tea,” during which students and faculty take a half-hour snack break. “Sometimes we’re talking about math, and sometimes we’re talking about current events, the weath-

er or basketball,” said Ben Cooke, a third-year doctoral student. He added that paramount to the topic of discussion is the opportunity to interact with other graduate students and get to know people in their department. “The space isn’t so much a factor as the people,” Cooke said. Weller and Cooke said the time together also affords faculty the chance to meet with a large group of students regularly. “If we didn’t have the teas, it would be hard to interact with professors on an informal basis,” he said. “Sometimes it’s kind of intimidating to walk into a professor’s office and ask just to chat.” Witt cited other benefits of his department’s graduate lounge, including a central location for student mailboxes, computer access and postings of all grant and job opportunities. For students who spend most of their day in laboratories, lounges may be less important. “The nice thing about the sciences is that when you work in a lab atmosphere, you are around your fellow students pretty much the entire time,” said Zach Schaefer, a graduate student in pharmacology and cancer biology. “I don’t feel isolated.”

the tentative recovery.” The Global Economic Outlook is based on submissions by global economists ahead of this week’s meeting in Bologna, Italy, of Project LINK, a cooperative, nongovernmental research effort coU.N. ordinated the by Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the University of Toronto. The outlook forecasts global economic growth this year of 1.7 percent, down from 1.8 percent forecast in April—and next year’s growth at 2.9 percent, down from April’s 3.2 percent projection. The economists said other factors have also been a drag on the global economy including “tepid” capital spending by businesses, the protracted consolidation in the global information and technology field, and the excess investment in developed countries in the late 19905. “Following the mild recession of 2001, the United States has been on a path ofeconomic recovery, but the strength ofthe mending process has remained anemic,” the report said. The current forecast “shows .

that the economy of the United States will continue to lead the global recovery, but with not much momentum,” it said, forecasting 2.3 percent economic growth this year and 3.2 percent in 2003. Elsewhere, it said, economic recovery in Japan and Western Europe “will remain fragile,” with the Japanese economy continuing “to be dragged down by fiscal and debt difficulties” and

European economies constrained by fiscal and monetary policies. The biggest drag on the world economy is Latin America, ex-

perts said, primarily because of an estimated 12 percent contraction in Argentina’s economy this year, it said. Concern about Brazil’s large debt has been exacerbated by uncertainties about its future government policies—and events in Argentina have affected Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, it said. Nonetheless, the outlook reported that prospects for economic growth remain good in some countries and regions, notably the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. China remains the top performing economy, with expected growth pf 7.7 percent this year and 7.5 percent next year, it said.

"Thief" allows Sedgewick Bell, the spoiled son of a rich senator, to cheat his way to Capitol Hill without condemnation. The movie shows the blatant favors associated with wealth, like unwarranted college acceptances, that he receives along the way. Sounds familiar, huh? Emperor's Club doesn't skirt the issues. Duke used this story as honor code propaganda. The freshmen understand that; everyone does. The movie did something different—it highlighted the corruption of elite education and the

oppressive atmosphere of competition and endowment politics. Duke beware, this addresses the feelings of many students. This isn't about cheating. It's about the integrity of elite education; it's about how universities like ours reward the over-privileged for their Annual Fund potential, while hard-working students on financial aid are hard pressed to compete. Duke should scrap the story and send DVDs of the movie to every new student. This is the world of elite education—this is our world. —Tom Roller

Go west, young Dukie.... Fall Break is the perfect opportunity to head to where the leaves are already changing —the North Carolina mountains. Just a few hours of driving can land you smack dab in the middle of some of the most beautiful scenery around, but beware, everyone else in a 500-mile radius has the same idea. Hotel rooms and even campsites will be hard to come by as "leaf season" peaks, especially in high-traffic areas like the Smoky Mountains, so you may want to call ahead and check for availability. That said, the mountains are the perfect place for hiking, fishing, rock climbing or paddling, but if you insist on having some indoor time this break, you'll need a home base. I highly recommend:

Vanderbilt to I must've been to the Biltmore Estate near Asheville about five times, but probably the memory most deeply burned into my brain, for better or worse—mostly worse—occurred during a trip with my high school biology teacher. While walking through one of the dozens of bedrooms, we passed about the 10th or so bed with a neck roll at both the foot and the head to which Mr. Woolley commented, "They sure liked doin' the 69 in here, didn't they?"

69 TIME: One of the, beds my high school teacher so enjoyed.

Other than some very disturbing thoughts about high school teachers and a certain sexual position, all my memories from the Biltmore Estate are wonderful. The basement continues to be my favorite room, where guests at a Halloween party were invited to paint murals across the walls. Both spooky and personal, this room gives visitors a window into the minds of the "rich and

famous" of the 19th century. It's the room where I feel the closest to the family and their guests—in an albeit ghostly sort of way. Most of my favorite rooms revolve around this feeling of proximity to the family. Charmingly, the bowling alley (yes, an indoor, private bowling alley) and the indoor pool are still presented with the original sporting equipment. The cupboards are also available for view downstairs, complete with period cans of food, and the servants' quarters are about the size of your average single in Blackwell, but devoid of running water. Even though the house was completed in 1889, the upstairs rooms for the family, with gorgeous claw-footed bathtubs, dq have running water.

Is your idea of a beach weekend making the trek down to Wilmington, spending a few hours at the public access beach and hitting the parties at UNCWilmington? Are you tired of a beach trip ending up as a whole lotta-Duke with a little bit-o'-beach? Well, if you have a few extra hours or so, take a left off of I40 and take Highway 24 East for something a bit different—the white beaches and hurricane scarred charm of the southern Outer Banks. Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach are a mere threeand-a-half hours away, Cape Hatteras a meandering served as a nature park, on the other hand, is a bit trickier. Not connected to the mainland via any bridge, you must take a ferry. While the over twohour-long Cedar Island Ferry is closer by land and requires reservations, old salts will tell you to trek up to Hatteras and take the 30-minute no-reservation ferry. Complexities aside, you'll find it worthwhile to visit this remote beach many travel magazines refer to as one of the three best beaches in America (that includes both Hawaii and Florida, kids). The choice among the three beaches lies in the remoteness you desire. While all three locations have the amenities, the Isles of Emerald and Hatteras are much more built up than the wild charm of Ocacroke. "But it's too cold this time of year, right?" Au contraire, my friend. Afternoon temperatures often hit above 80 degrees, and the water temperatun§TS», peaking in the mid- to upper-70s.

ERIOR MOTIVES: EX-BLACK FLACCER HENRY ROLLINS REALLY ABOUTTHE WEST MEMPHIS THREE?

break: three extra days of weekend, perfect for creative vacationing. Some people go home, some to the beach, some go camping. The cast and production council members of the Hoof 'n' Horn fall show also go camping, but they stay at "Camp Duke," and do something a little different: They build. Hoof 'n' Horn is Duke's student-run musical theater group. Established in 1936, it began by producing one student-written musical per year, performed at the end of the year in Page Auditorium. The kicker to many of Hoof 'n' Horn's current members is that the club would work on a show for the entire year—nowadays, Hoof 'n' Horn produces three mainstage shows per annum, spending, from auditions to the cast party, under seven weeks for their fall and winter productions. Since every aspect of a Hoof 'n' Horn show, from directing to orchestration to set building, is done by students, those seven weeks can be a bit intense. For this year's fall show, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, remaining at Duke over fall break is an expectation written out on the audition form. Although this discourages some auditionees from participating, especially freshmen, those that remain extol the virtues of "Camp Duke." Says Hoof 'n' Horn member and Drood's master carpenter Jeanne Rittschof, Camp Duke is "working on the show during the day, partying it up at night." Down-time includes group breakfasts at Cracker Barrel, late-night movies and much merry-making, including parties with themes like "Return to Castle Drunkenstein." Cast members, who are required to put in at least 10 "build hours" over the course of the show, go to a shop orientation at the start of the rehearsal process, and many complete or extend their hours over fall break, hanging lights or painting flats. Outside the shop, they rehearse for the better part of the day. Although days of togetherness spent drilling, singing and some sleeping foster production camaraderie, it can also be tiring. Carl Pearson, Drood's technical director, pointed out that "Fall break always falls just before 'game time,' opening night being the weekend after we return, so obviously it's crucial that we focus on the show." John Haubenreich, a cast member, added that staying in Durham for fall break might have deterred him from participating in a show freshman year, but as a junior, "I'm looking forward to just hanging out." —Meghan Valerio

New offensive attack fuels Duke victor By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

4 After a disappointing loss to Manhattan 1 unranked Lehigh Sunday and a drop of six positions in the Soccer America rankings, the Blue Devils executed an aggressive gameplan earning a 4-1 victory over Manhattan College Wednesday night at Koskinen Stadium.

Duke

While Duke dominated the first half, keeping the ball in the Manhattan zone for the majority of the 45 minutes, the Blue Devils were unable to put points on the board until the 34 minute mark when Jordan Cila headed a Trevor Perea comer kick into the upper left corner ofthe net. The Blue Devils added two more tallies before the half was over as they adjusted well to a new scheme implemented prior to the game. As a result of many defensive injuries, head coach John Rennie decided to leave only three defenders in the backfield and push eight men up with the hope of outscoring rather than outdefenditig Manhattan. “We are decimated in the back and are probably going to give up some goals with most of our defenders sitting on the bench,” Rennie said. “We will try to score more and win 6-4

On the same note, the land of the Rising Sun, still on this Mariners bandwagon, basically logged on to MLB.com (now that they have online voting) as a whole and nearly voted in every possible Mariner.

Santiago huge as Giants take Game 1 from Cards Following walks to Bonds, catcher hits RBI single and two-run homer By

JANIE MCCAULEY

The Associated Press

Benito 9 ST. LOUIS Santiago did not mind 6 a bit when the St. Louis Cardinals Cardinals pitched around Barry Bonds. Santiago made the Cardinals pay for it big time. Following walks to Bonds, San Francisco’s veteran catcher hit an RBI single and a two-run homer to help the Giants beat the Cardinals 9-6 Wednesday night in Game 1 of the NL championship series. “I’ve been seeing th' for 2 1/2 months, hitti. behind man that Santiago said. “That d n’t start tonight. I have lot of opportunity to nrn some damage out then the right time.” After St. Louis starte walked Bonds with two outs in the first, Santiago hit a roller up the third-base line for a single that scored Kenny Lofton to make it 1-0. In the sixth, with Bonds aboard after another walk, Santiago hit a drive over the left-center fence to the back wall of the bullpen for a 9-3 lead. It was Santiago’s first homer in the 2002 playoffs, and the second of his career in the postseason. “He’s a guy we should go after,” Morris said. “We left the ball up and he had a great day.” Santiago drove in four runs, just one fewer than he had during the entire fivegame division series against Atlanta. “I’m trying to go out there and have Giants

try to make good swings and put the ball in play.” In the seven playoff games Santiago appeared in before this season, he managed only three RBIs and one home run. Yet this is not surprising, really. He expects such production from himself, and so do the Giants. It’s been a resurgent season for the 37-year-old Santiago, who has spent 17 years in the majors. This has been one of his best. Santiago was an All-Star for the me in 10 years, in the best shape of life and has repeatsaid he feels like

He drove in game-winning runs as the Giants surged in September to clinch the wild card on the season’s second-to-last day. He stole bases and served as a mentor to the team’s young pitching staff. Santiago is a well-sculpted 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, and has bragged how he easily could catch for 18 innings if a game ever lasted that long. And this is a man who joined the Giants as a non-roster invitee in March of 2001 after signing a minor league contract. It’s been a long time coming for Santiago to feel this good, too. Four years, in fact. ,

gain a non-American perspective on the game. “It was a different world over there,” she said. “They have such a different attitude. There, hockey is so much bigger and everyone plays. It’s like a social event.” The team played in Johannesburg, against top local club teams and some regional University squads. Most of the teams they faced were comprised of women in the college-age range, though one team consisted of 30 to 40 year-olds.

Club teams rank higher than collegiate programs in South Africa, and according to Gogola, most players become serious after college. The Under-23 team, which included college players from all around the country such as lowa and UNC, finished with a 4-1-1 record. Gogola‘s adventures ended on August 9, just two days before preseason started. Head coach Liz Tchou was able to notice an improvement in her player’s confidence level and overall level of play.

“Anytime you play with players of a better caliber, you get better yourself,” Tchou said. “It was a fantastic experience for her and you can see it in her play. She has improved tremendously and become a leader. You could see in the preseason, her game fitness was very good, she had quick execution and

office must really be in touch.) Issue B: That statement is not a moment, it is, at best, a few moments, like winning the MVP, winning Rookie of the Year and being the leading All-Star getter—and if it is a series of moments, they are not good dramatic ones like you would except to win a “best in show” award, they’re just pictures of a dude getting a trophy. They’re as pretty through snapshot as video. Issue C: Those damned Mariner fans are fixin’ to do the same thing again. Hopefully, it won’t come to this when Game 4 of the Angels-Giants rolls around, but just in case, I need to use the rest of this column to make a last second (un)biased plea for my own top five—the moments I voted for, once. No. 5, Oct. 23, 1993; Joe Carter hits a series-clinching three-run homer off Mitch Williams in Game 6 in the bottom of the ninth to give the Blue Jays the World Series. It happened in my life time. Everyone I talked to remembers it as a great moment. And, it sunk the Phillies, who

deserve every minute of the agony. Coincidentally you won’t find this on the tape “Whatever it takes, dude: Story of the 1993 Phillies.” No. 4, Oct. 13, 1960: Pittsburgh’s Bill Mazeroski leads off the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 with a home run breaking a 9-9 tie and beating the Yankees in the World Series. This moment had the phrase “beating the Yankees” in it, so obviously I went with Maz. On a side note, ESPN’s Page 2, just named it the best moment in

the top level.” Gogola’s leadership has helped Duke earn the No. 12 ranking in the nation.

Gibson’s pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth lifts the

Dodgers over the A’s in Game 1 of

the World Series. An ailing Kirk Gibson, the star of the 1988 season who had injured himself the game before, hobbles up to the plate—had he gotten a hit he would not have been able to run to first—and belts a home run as a pudgy Tommy Lasorda runs out onto the field. For most everyone in my baseball generation it is the first moment we remember. Perfectly scripted, Roy Hobbs could not have done better himself. P.S. At press time, Cal Ripken breaking Lou Gehrig’s streak was edging out Hank Aaron breaking Babe. You know Cal voted 25 times.

Angels clobber Reed, tie series with 6-3 victory Anaheim jumps to six run lead after homers by Erstad and Fullmer By

RONALD BLUM

The Associated Press

Angels

6 MINNEAPOLIS

So much for Minnesota’s

Twins 3 Metrodome dominance. Darin Erstad and Brad Fullmer homered off Rick Reed as Anaheim built a six-run lead, and the high-flying Angels beat the perky, pesky Twins 6-3

Wednesday night to head home with a split in the first two games of the AL championship series.

“You have to get acclimated to the dome,” Fullmer said. “We got acclimated a little bit.” A night after Joe Mays stymied Anaheim’s high-octane offense in the Twins’ 2-1 opening victory, the Angels

got to Reed from the start. Erstad, the No. 2 batter, sent Reed’s sixth pitch over the fence in right-center, where it landed 409 feet away—nestled in one of the stacked-up seats used for Vikings games. “It’s nice to get a lead. It’s nice to jump out. That gave us a big lift,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Anaheim tacked on three more runs in the second, two of them unearned because of a costly error by catcher A. J. Pierzynski—who could not hold on to a throw home after Reed caught a runner off first. “The game should have been 2-0,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. When Fullmer chased Reed with a two-run homer in the sixth, it seemed over. But Minnesota battled right

back, knocking Ramo sixth when Corey Kof

AGREES LEEF/REUTERS

DARIN ERSTAD hit a two-run homer off Twins’ pitcher Rick Reed in the first inning of Game 2,

SOCCER from page 9 the end of the first period when the modified Duke attack began to excel and the Manhattan defense showed

signs of quitting. After an lan Carey shot from close range was stuffed by the Manhattan keeper and a Donald Mclntosh shot missed the mark, Owoicho Adogwa connected on a 15-foot strike that slid under the dive of the Manhattan keeper. The goal was the first of two on the night for Adogwa who was starting his first game for the Blue Devils. Adogwa, who had a big smile on his face after the game, was rewarded with a start for his impressive play in prior contests. “It was fun and the guys were just great,” he said, referring to his teammates who set up the goals. “The balls were just coming in and I was just lucky to be there.” Duke capitalized on the Jaspers’ sluggish play when, with less than a minute remaining in the half, Mclntosh slammed a centering pass from Perea into the lower right corner of the net. “Once they scored our guys put our heads down,” said Manhattan head coach Billy Walsh. “We are not mentally tough enough.”

The overmatched Jaspers hung with the Blue Devils in a physical second half where each team scored once. The Duke goal came in the 61st minute when Adogwa jumped up to redirect a Trevor Perea centering pass into the net. The assist was the third on the night for Perea. Manhattan’s Walter Kotchin scored his team’s only goal on a centering pass from Matthew Seher. The goal was the only slip-up for sophomore keeper Justin Trowbridge who played solidly in net. The aggressive Duke game plan limited Manhattan to seven shots on the night. The end ofthe second half was highlighted by a red card given to Manhattan’s Stephen McKenna with less than three minutes remaining. The physical play was not limited to the Jaspers as Duke’s Justin Bodiya was also handed a yellow card in the 72nd minute. “That was pretty much all they had left, they couldn’t play with us so they were just going to start kicking,” Mclntosh said. Rennie seemed impressed with his team’s overall play and its adjustment to the new system. “Its great to score goals,” said Rennie, who seemed content to stick with his modified alignment in upcoming contests against N.C. State and Campbell.

hit an RBI single Doug Mientkiewicz, had three hits, ha two-run single. Brendan Don. replaced Ortiz and go; of the inning, and 20-year-old rookie Francisco Rodriguez struck out two in a 1-2-3 seventh. After a two-out walk to Torii Hunter and a single by Mientkiewicz put runners at the corners in the eighth, Scioscia brought in Troy Percival, whom he had been reluctant to use in the eighth until after the New York Yankees rallied to win the division series opener. “Percy is a guy we do have available for four outs when necessary,” said Scioscia, who brought in his closer just four times in the eighth during the regular season. Percival, who has not allowed an unearned run to Minnesota in 35 innings during the regular season, got ahead 1-2 in the count on pinch-hitter Bobby Kielty. With the crowd on its feet, shouting and waving Homer

Hankies, Kielty took a called third strike on a changeup. “It came back nice over the inside corner,” said Percival, who finished up with

a perfect ninth for the save. He struck out three of the four batters he faced. “We made too many mistakes early,” Gardenhire said. “We had a chance. We had some runners on and had some

opportunities.” When the series resumes Friday in California, where the Angels’ “rally monkey” awaits, Jarrod Washburn pitches against the Twins’ Eric Milton—who no-hit Anaheim in September 1999. With Tuesday’s win, Minnesota improved its postseason record at the Metrodome—where grounders to shortinto doubles—to 13-2. Reed has two of the

Twins’ three postseason losses in the dome. Anaheim, which had been 1-9 in ALCS

road games, found the solution: Get a big

early lead to quiet those Homer Hanky-

waving fans. “Our job was to come here and win

one out of two on the road,” Fullmer said. A Metrodome baseball record 55,990

filled the ballpark, and they didn’t like what they saw early. Erstad, 5-for-12 against Reed in his career, put the Angels ahead in the first with his first postseason homer. After failing to get a leadoff hitter on in the first 10 innings of the series, Anaheim’s first three hatters got hits in the second, with Scott Spiezio’s bloop double near the right-field line bouncing over an onrushing Michael Cuddyer to make it 2-0.

After Reed threw out a runner at the plate on a comebacker, Pierzynski’s

error cost the Twins, the top-fielding team in the major leagues during the regular season, two more runs.

The Chronicle LGBT progress The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is becoming more accepted by the University as well as students

Five

years ago this week, the University painted over slogans that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community had put on the East Campus bridge to celebrate Coming Out Week. Although the incident itself was a misunderstanding on the part of the University, which was attempting to prevent hate speech directed against the LGBT community, it became an important focal point for thinking about and discussing the relationship between Duke and its LGBT students, faculty and staff. Since that time, much progress has been made in the fight for LGBT acceptance and both the University and the University community have taken steps to make campus a safer and more welcoming place for all sexual orientations. Two major steps have been the SAFE program and the Duke Allies program, which provide support to members of the LGBT community from those who are not themselves LGBT but want to show their tolerance to and solidarity with the goals of the LGBT community. Additionally, the University has taken symbolic steps, toward making the campus climate more accepting with the opening of the Chapel and the Freeman Center for Jewish Life to same-sex unions, even though such a union has yet to be performed. That the Chapel, the central symbol of Duke, is welcoming to LGBTs and their commitment ceremonies is a large step forward for the LGBT community. There has also been a growing presence of alternate lifestyles on campus over the past several years as the University has bolstered its support for the Center for LGBT Life. Problems still remain, since some LGBT students do not feel comfortable, especially with showing their affection for one another on campus. However, many of these fears may be based more on LGBT students’ perceptions and less upon the generally tolerant attitudes of students. The general population at Duke is very accepting of LGBTs, and while there are certainly some who dislike homosexuals, the majority of the Duke communityis accepting of many lifestyle. People here are both mature enough and diplomatic enough to accept LGBT individuals. While the LGBT community cannot force people to agree with their lifestyle, they can expect others to embrace them. LGBT students, faculty and staff can expect to be safe, and there is no reason to feel that Duke is not safe for people of all lifestyles.

Letters to the editor

Beyond the abstractions of war are human lives In the present debate taking place concerning a possible war with Iraq, grand-sounding many are phrases used. Politicians talk of “security” and “threat”; President George W. Bush speaks of the “will and whims of a ruthless and aggressive dictator.” But when we push past the abstractions of war or peace, America versus Iraq, terrorism and tyranny, we are left with living, breathing human beings. Before committing ourselves to war, we need to look closely at the implications of such action. If we are willing to attack Iraq, then we must also be willing to face up to the reality of the innocent Iraqi family, cowering in their home in

fear of American bombs, feeling their house shake and the bricks fall on them misfired missile as a strikes. We have to accept the responsibility for a young innocent child choking to death as she is buried under the dust and rubble that used to be her home. We must agree to make Iraq’s children orphans and Iraq’s wives widows, all in an

attempt

protect

against the possibility of that happening to our children and our wives in some unspecified future. We have to believe that, American lives are intrinsically worth more than Iraqi lives. And we need to be willing to say to American men and women, “yes, this cause is worth dying for, or per-

haps worse, worth killing for. Yes, we want you to look another human being in the eye, whom you have never seen before, and we want you to ram a bayonet into their stomach. We want you to push past their cries for mercy, to look at their trembling body, and continue to stab until the life has drained from them. And we want you to carry that memory with you always.” This is what we must be prepared to accept when we speak of the abstraction of war. It is a lot to ask, so let’s think very carefully about this and not rush into a war we do not need. Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon

Graduate School ’OB

Anti-war movement needs to solidify its views More than a few freshmen turned out for their first display of campus activism today, the rally to oppose war on iraq. The existence of the “movement” is heartening; the student body is aware of international happenings and are willing to voice their opinions in an attempt to effect change and national policy. Whether students are for or against war on Iraq, it is evident that most of us at least have some opinion. However, the anti-war movement, in order to better facilitate discussion and induce real change, needs to

DCU’s

use

solidify its views. At present, it appears as if no alternative is offered to war. There are, as always, many compelling reasons not to go into battle, some economic, some social, some political and some moral. In this case, however, passivity is not an option. Iraq presents a very real threat to the Western

world, of which we are a part. The United States is the stated enemy of Iraq. The Daniel Pearl decapitation video is the mostdownloaded file in the Middle East. This is not propaganda. These are

facts. The present situation will not self-resolve. If the United States, or its (dwindling) numbers of allies do not take some kind of action and do something soon, the protesters left alive will find themselves regretting their position over the corpses of millions and the ruins of cities. And so I issue a challenge to this and any movement to oppose war: come up with something better. I hope for all our sakes that you succeed.

of funds makes English hypocritical

Bill English has extremely strong opinions and is not afraid to express them. He has the right to do so and that is fine with me. English’s biggest problem does not seem to be solely against homosexual expression or against feminist expression. His problem is with the

institutionalization (through University funding and attention) of the expression by groups of different races, sexes and sexual orientations. I have two problems with his argument. First, why is he suppressing the freedom of speech of others to promote his own beliefs? What’s wrong with out promoting coming among homosexuals or expanding a women’s studies program? He, too, could be proactive and bring a group of people together to discuss the invention of a

men’s studies program or even to have a men’s issues forum. If he would get up from behind his computer, maybe a little action on his part could promote some of his own plans instead of trying to even things out by

feminist expression through expansion of the Women’s Studies program, and think it’s any different to bring conservative speakers to this campus with the University’s funds? English, and whoever

writing about how other people’s ideas should be Suppressed. Second, and more importantly, English is the presithe Duke dent of

holds similar beliefs, should take the opportunity to

Conservative Union, a club on campus that receives

University funding. Is this not the institutionalization ofhis opinions? Through the Duke Conservative Union, and thus university funding, David Horowitz was brought to campus last year. How can English be against the institutionalization of homosexual expression through a Coming Out Week sponsored by the University, or be against

“diversify opinion.”

However, he instead decides to write a column every other week about how other people shouldn’t be able to have or express their opinions in a formal, Dukesponsored setting. Keep saying what you think and keep conservative bringing speakers to campus; it makes people think. But it doesn’t make sense to object to the institutionalization of thought and expression since you do it yourself.

The US. government has supported pro-US. governments, whether they were democratic or not; it has used the rhetoric of democracy to support its own economic interests. The idea that the United States is a healthy democracy also needs to be questioned. Right now, thousands of detainees are still being denied civil liberties in prisons all over the country. Millions of Americans are disenfranchised in state and federal prisons, and/or because they do not have the money necessary to pay for political
