Faculty react Athletics opens Cameron for concert to options for A&S budget By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

After the Arts and Sciences Council Budget Task Force recommended several options last week for resolving the Arts and Sciences budget deficit, professors are reacting primarily with frustration. The task force’s charge was two-fold: to evaluate whether a substantial budget shortfall was likely in the near future and to conduct a “fairly limited investigation of cuts” in faculty and research support, said Professor of Public Policy Studies Philip Cook, who headed the task force. Many faculty, including Cook, questioned the narrow target of the latter .

charge. “The way the

report was created was as though all the other considerations were taken in and then the University gave Arts and Sciences its

budget last,” said Arts and Sciences Council Chair Ronald Witt. “The faculty looked at it from the other side: The heart and soul ofthe University is Arts and Sciences, and that should be the first thing taken into account.” Specifically, the budget task force considered faculty size, compensation and research support, as well as doctorate research support, “Of the very unfortunate set of possibilities, the least unfortunate would be to cut the faculty size,” Cook said. “But that is worst case—[offsetting the deficit] could be done in a variety of

The Dead, Dylan and the Doobie Brothers have all jammed there. Santana, the Allman Brothers and the Boss have packed the house. And Feb. 7, another band will add its name to the list of those who have played to thousands of screaming students in Cameron Indoor Stadium. As part of “K-ville Kares,” a benefit event for the Duke Cancer Patient Support Program, the basketball stadium will open its doors to its first major concert since 1996. Organizers have yet to select a band or artist, but said the size of Cameron will enable them to bring in an act that typically asks for between $30,000 and $60,000 per show. More than 4,000 tickets will be offered for between $25 and $4O, with a fundraising goal of $50,000. Campus Council, Duke Student Government, the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Duke University Union are co-sponsoring the event, which is their first-ever joint venture. “We were able to find a space where it could fit in,” said Director ofAthletics Joe Alieva, who gave the go-ahead this week after meeting with organizers before fall break. “It seems like the whole University community is behind this project, and we thought it would be nice to try to make it happen.” In years past, availability of the stadium, protection for its new floor and the overall expense were all hurdles in booking Cameron.

Financial constraints at university presses across the country may mean more challenges for humanities faculty seeking to publish books as a prerequisite for tenure, but administrators say the University is taking a wait-and-see approach. Many university presses have struggled mightily in recent years. Ken Wissoker, editor of Duke University Press, blamed the publishers’ financial difficulty primarily on the dwindling market for scholarly books at libraries and bookstores —many of which are experiencing financial crunches themselves. In the past, said Provost Peter Lange, approximately 800 libraries regularly purchased every book published by leading university presses. But that number has dwindled to 250 libraries in recent years, depriving the presses of a major

like construction —that the task force was not charged to consider.

Instead of cutting faculty resources, Department of History Chair John Thompson agreed he would prefer that Arts and Sciences spend less than its current $71.1 million payment for the University’s “allocated costs.” “I’m discouraged there was so little reference to the University’s mission,” he said. “[The report] hardly seemed

source of income.

The result ofthis decrease in demand has been a more competitive environment where more academics are struggling to get published, particularly those seeking tenure. Assistant professors in the humanities are generally expected to publish at least one book as a basic requirement for tenure, Lange said. He said the publishing squeeze is worst for junior faculty

like something that came from Arts and Sciences—it sounds like something that came from upper management.” Because the $6 million budget shortfall is forecasted to occur in three years, Cook said faculty size may have to be reduced by up to 17 positions per year until then, which will result in a 10 percent smaller regular-rank faculty size.

Many of the logistics of putting together the concert have yet to be worked out. Organizers need to obtain corporate and University sponsors, find a place to store the more than $30,000 worth of plywood needed to cover the floor, and arrange security, ticket distribution and concessions. But the possibility of a concert in Cameron and the potential donation to the cancer program motivated students

U.S. softens U.N. resolution on Iraq Modified proposal targets France, Russia for U.N. Security Council support By DAFNA LINZER The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS Seeking to win a new U.N. resolution on Iraq, the United States has removed language explicitly threatening military action, while making clear Baghdad will face consequences if it fails to cooperate with weapons inspectors, diplomats and US. officials said Thursday. The latest compromise appeared tailored to win support from powerful Security Council members ineluding France and Russia, which want to give Iraq a chance to cooperate before authorizing force. A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the proposed resolution would

not spell out the consequences but says Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein will be in “material breach” if he violates any U.N. resolution. That term, material breach, allowed for military action to be taken in Kosovo in 1999. The official said that since no measures would be ruled out in the text, the White House believes President George W.

Bush would have “maximum flexibility” to mete out consequences should Saddam fail to comply. Moreover, the official said the new U.S. proposal does not require a second resolution before Bush acts. But diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that if the Iraqis obstructed inspections, the

United States would be required to consult with the Security Council before taking any action. Secretary of State Colin Powell, who met with chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix in New York Thursday, said a U.S.-drafted resolution would leave “no opportunity for the Iraqis to deter the inspectors from their work or to defeat their efforts. “There must be a threat,” Powell said. “There must be consequences for

their continued failure.” The five permanent veto-wielding council members have been badly divided on the next move toward Iraq following its announcement last month that U.N. inspectors could return unconditionally after nearly four years.

CIA director warns of terrorist attacks By DAVID JOHNSTON

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON

The Central Intelligence Agency di-

rector, George Tenet, told a congressional panel Thursday

that the risk of a new terror attack inside the United States was as grave and immediate as it was before the Sept. 11 hijackings, even though US. intelligence agencies have vastly expanded their counterterrorism efforts in the past year. “The threat environment we find ourselves in today is as bad as it was last summer, the summer before Sept. 11,” Tenet told the joint intelligence committees investigating the attacks. “It is serious, they’ve reconstituted, they are coming after us, they want to execute attacks. “You see it in Bali, you see it in Kuwait,” said Tenet, who along with other officials in President George W. Bush’s administration has said in recent days that al Qaeda’s

resurgence has been demonstrated by recent attacks on Marines in Kuwait and the terror bombing in Bali that killed more than 180 people. “They plan in multiple theaters of operation,” he said “They intend to strike again.” Tenet was not asked directly how the CIA could stop a future attack when it failed to stop last year’s hijackings. He told the panel that the agency had in the past year greatly increased the agency’s counterterrorism budget and staffing and taken new steps to penetrate and disrupt terrorist organizations. The warning was not the first such assessment from the country’s intelligence chief. But it was Tenet’s starkest warning yet of another attack, and he offered it as he defended the agency’s performance from unusually harsh criticism by lawmakers at Thursday’s hearing.

Former aide to Netanyahu decries terror By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle

Nations such as the United States and Israel are justified in using force to defend democracy against totalitarian and terrorist aggressors, specifically Iraq, said former Israeli government adviser Yossi Olmert in a speech Thursday. In an address sponsored by The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the Duke Conservative Union and several other campus groups and academic departments, Olmert—an ArabIsraeli scholar, former adviser to Israeli

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and one-time director of the Israeli Press Office—said bluntly that he was not at all surprised by the Sept. 11 attacks. He cited a hatred for democracy as the root ofworld terrorism. “Don’t look for any particular reason

why bin Laden doesn’t like America. It

has little to do with the American people. It has everything to do with America being the center of democracy, the anchor of the Western world,” Olmert said. In a pessimistic tone that Olmert attributed to his personal experiences with the struggle between the Israelis

and Palestinians, he described efforts to negotiate with terrorist or totalitarian

regimes as ineffectual. “We must understand that terrorists See OLMERT on page 7

Race, Sex, God festival debuts today By CHRISTINA NG The Chronicle

“Demystifying the Indian Woman”; “Sex: Transcending Racial Barriers and Finding God”; “Turning you on by sounding you off’. These are just a few of the student submissions in the University’s upcoming Beyond the Comfort Zone: Race, Sex and God awards competition, part of the Race, Sex and God Festival that begins today at 4 p.m. Twelve student exhibits will be displayed in the West-Edens Link’s McClendon Tower throughout the weekend. The submissions—which explore the topics ofrace, sex and God—all represent different residential houses, including East Campus dormitories, West Campus dormitories and selective living groups. Deb Loßiondo, assistant dean of residence life and housing services and a Race, Sex and God committee member, is optimistic about the goals for the festival. “I hope there will be a good turnout and people will view the projects with an open mind,” she said. “I also hope the exhibition will encourage dialogue.” Leon Dunkley, director of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture and another committee member, was pleased with the quality of the student submissions. “Those projects that are here are very challenging and courageous,” he said. “They’re really fabulous.” The criteria forjudging the competition entries have not yet been set, but members of the committee plan to meet

“What we learned is that even though these topics can be approached from any and mostly all the majors in academia, you need to combine all the majors and view [the topics! from all angles for a deeper perspective.” The festival will continue Sunday with an 11 a.m. worship service in Duke Chapel. Reverend Regina Henderson, another committee member and director of the Church and Society ServantLeader Initiative, will speak on the issues of race, sex and God. An awards ceremony and closing reception will culminate the weekend following the service.

N.C. NEWS THIS WEEK From staff and wire reports

Apparent murder-suicide discovered at N.C. State

DAVE INGRAM/THE CHRONICLE

DEMONSTRATORS FRANK WARNER AND JEREMIAH BALDWIN were asked by police to leave campus after a student complained.

Police expel religious demonstrators From staff reports Two religious demonstrators carrying provocative signs engaged students in a verbal sparring match on Main West Quadrangle for 30 minutes Thursday afternoon before University police officers expelled them. The men, who identified themselves as Frank Warner and Jeremiah Baldwin, arrived around noon and declared that most members ofthe Duke community were destined for hell unless they changed their lifestyles. “My motivation is to communicate to people about God, to tell people about God, to preach the Gospel and to warn people about God,” Warner said. Lt. Jeff Best of the Duke University Police Department said the primary reason the police expelled the men from campus was a student complaint that the demonstrators were speaking loudly, upsetting passersby and violating the University’s “no solicitation policy.” The men complied peacefully, but Warner maintained he should be allowed to “preach” at Duke. “Granted, it’s a private school, but it’s kind of an area for anybody—the public can come through here,” he said. “It’s

my understanding that when the public has access to somewhere, that your civil rights are [ensured].” The two carried double-faced seven-foot signs. The headings on one side read “You make me sick,” referring to different social and religious communities as well as certain behaviors listed on the sign. The litany included Muslims, Jews, certain types of Christians and actions such as drinking and sex. On the other side, the signs featured a biblical quotation from John 3:18 declaring unbelievers to be condemned to God’s judgment. The demonstrators also denounced problems they termed symbolic of society’s diminishing masculinity, citing “the cult of the effeminate male,” “weak-kneed men” and “rebellious women.” Within minutes of their arrival, a large crowd gathered around the two men, swelling to approximately 100 in number by the demonstration’s end. Student reactions ranged from shock and surprise to humor and sarcasm. After police arrived and forced the two men to drop their placards on the grass, some students scurried closer to take pictures of the signs.

A North Carolina State University campus police officer responded to gunshot sounds Saturday, Oct. 12, at 5:15 p.m. and found two victims of what police are calling a murder-suicide. Officials believe Richard Anderson shot Lili Wang and then himself on the tennis courts near N.C. State’s Carmichael Gym. Both victims were computer science graduate students in the College of Engineering. Police also recovered a handgun and a note implying the two knew each other and Anderson had an infatuation with Wang. ‘This was not a random incident, and we believe it poses no danger to others,” Campus Police Chief Tom

Younce said. A week before the shootings, Anderson applied for five handgun permits at the Wake County Sheriffs Office, although police will not say whether any of these permits were used to purchase the weapon used. Officials said this shooting appears unrelated to a recent surge of crimes on campus, which included several robberies and an assault. “Our hearts go out to the families of these two members of our campus community,” N.C. State Chancellor Marye Anne Fox said. “I want to reassure our students, employees and their families that safety is a priority at N.C. State and will continue to be of utmost importance to Campus Police and the administration.”

OLMERT from page 3 believe that to be democratic means to be weak, that being unwilling to suffer casualties is naive. When this is the case, there cannot be peace,” he said. Olmert characterized Sept. 11 as a call to war for America, a war that America and all democratic nations must fight, and win. He also emphasized that terrorism was not limited to al Qaeda. “It is becoming a realization in America that terrorism is terrorism. People who send people to kill innocents as an operation, as a system, they are terrorists. This

includes Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat,” he said. Olmert also offered his insight on international affairs from the perspective of the Israeli government, but did so with the stipulation that his opinions were in no way the official policy of the Israeli leadership. He advocated a United States-led campaign to topple Hussein, and he applauded previous U.S. intervention in the Middle East. “Saddam has been around for 34 years, and people ask what motivates him. The only part of his behavior that has been consistent is the desire to obtain weapons of mass destruction to at-

He said a nuclear response would be inevitable. “We will not live in fear,” he said. “If he should dare to use these weapons against Israel, that would be his end. We know what we should do.” Members of the audience voiced mixed reactions to Olmert’s ideas. Many felt that his unwavering support of war in

Because of the Democrats’ list of excused absences from Thursday’s session, quorum was not met and the special session could not end. “What [the Democrats] are saying is, We’re going to keep open this special session, but we aren’t going to bother showing up.’ It’s really a slap in the face of the people of North Carolina,” said Rep.

Woody Yonts, chair of the state’s Drought Monitoring Council, said his group is waiting for reports from some 220 water systems around North Carolina before evaluating where the state stands overall with respect to the drought.

to try to surmount those obstacles. “This event is very close to my heart,” said senior Amy Unell, who has been volunteering at the support program since her freshman year and thought up the idea of such a benefit two years ago. When Unell was a senior in high school, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she has survived the illness. The cancer program provides support for patients in treatment—including counseling, orientation for chemotherapy, refreshments and a wig program. “I wanted to create an event that would be a campus-wide benefit to support this program,” Unell added. “We really felt that there should be a service event tied into K-ville because Kville is such an awesome tradition and creates such unity. This is away that we can give back.” The concert will occur on a Friday, two days after the men’s basketball team plays at home against the University of North Carolina at Chapel

PUBLISHING

Hill—the first tenting game of the season—and two days before Clemson comes to town. This gap will allow the event to set up Thursday afternoon and be completely struck by the Blue Dev-

ils’ 10 a.m. practice Saturday. Since Duke hosts Maryland Feb. 19 for the season’s other tenting game, the concert will occur when Krzyzewskiville is in full swing, said Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan, a senior. Union President Jesse Panuccio said that if this winter’s concert is a success, the Union will pursue other concerts in the future, probably in the basketball off-season. Currently, Page Auditorium, with a capacity of about 1,150, is the University’s largest indoor venue. To bring a big name there, tickets would need to cost well over $5O, said Panuccio, a senior. Cameron’s ticket prices will be lower, and its larger size will allow a majority of students to attend. “I think it’s a win-win situation,”

said Rachel Schanberg, founder of the cancer program. “Everyone is going to have a great time, make a lot of money and help the patients.”

Across the country, people have called for departments and university administrations to modify their tenure expectations in response to this changing climate. Last May, Stephen Greenblatt, president of the Modem Language Association of America, sent an open letter suggesting that universities “rethink what we need to conduct responsible evaluations of junior faculty members.” Lange said Duke was waiting for more information, particularly an MLA study, before rushing to change

tenure standards.

“We’re nowhere near moving in any action proposals, but we are thinking about it,” said Lange, who broached the topic at a meeting of 10 university provosts last summer and at a Sept. 26 meeting ofthe Academic Council. Maureen Quilligan, chair of the English department, said Greenblatt’s suggestion to rethink tenure standards is largely inapplicable to Duke, where expectations for professors are higher than at most universities.

“One should always want to have someone with a book,” Quilligan said. “Do I expect people to get tenure without a book? No! Ever!” Despite hopes that scholarly publishing will recover, the trend in the industry has been toward consoli-

dating and even eliminating humanities publishing. Stanford University Press, once an industry leader, has all but eliminated its humanities list, Wissoker said. And Assistant Professor of English Matt Cohen said the University of California at Berkeley will soon be shutting down its literature list. A number of administrators and faculty have suggested exploring electronic and online publishing in response to the shrinking market for book publishing. However, Lange said relying on electronic publishing is a long way off. “The difficulty is that what makes publishing valuable is the peer review. A manuscript [considered for print] is sent to the university press; it’s sent to eminent people in the field,” he said. “E-publishing doesn’t have that organized system.”

Coupled with a possible increase in the size of the student body, cuts could

ences William Chafe predicted a re-

ratio and the percentage of classes taught by tenured faculty, which could affect rankings. According to U.S. News and World Report, fourthranked Duke’s 8-to-l student-to-faculty ratio is higher than eight of the other nine schools in the top 10. Since 1995, the University’s faculty has grown by 46 members, which some faculty credit to its increasing quality and reputation. “Morale at Duke is fantastic right now,” said Alan Biermann, chair of the computer science department. “Everything is growing, climbing, getting bigger—l don’t want to see that reverse.” Chafe said a small reduction to the 580-member faculty pool would not adversely affect the University. “There are some departments where you could let the faculty shrink and nobody would notice,” Michael Munger, political science chair, said. With its emphasis on small-group experiences and writing training, Curriculum 2000 further complicates reducing faculty. FOCUS Director Seymour Mauskopf worried decreasing faculty size could potentially affect the program, but Chafe said FOCUS would not suffer because it is one of the University’s “signature programs.” Both faculty and doctorate research support are too small and im-

affect both the student-to-faculty

a year, noting that more severe cuts are very unlikely because of revenue variables like tuition, indirect cost recoveries and continued education. Maureen Quilligan, chair of the English department, said she would prefer to see cuts in the administration, which may “have far outgrown the faculty.” “The heart and soul of this University is what the students and faculty do—everything else is just add-on,” she said. “To reduce the faculty is to deeply compromise where the key activity at the University goes on.” Faculty cited a long list of services that could suffer from a reduction:

teaching, research, specificity, class size and tenured faculty instruction. “Size and quality certainly are not the same thing, but the question is whether size affects quality,” said Wesley Kort, religion department chair. “Size does have an effect on the quality of faculty when they are asked to do more to take up the slack.” The budget task force also considered cutting faculty compensation, which has grown about 3 percent per year over the last decade. Kort, who began his term as chair this summer, said he has not yet experienced a “bidding war” with another school over a faculty member, but he thought faculty loyalty is high enough to retain members, regardless of a small change in compensation. Quilligan disagreed. “It’s hard enough to get people to come here from other fancy places that pay well and support their faculty,” she said.

Football faces unbeaten N.C. State Duke hopes to end 47game streak By NICK CHRISTIE The Chronicle

After losing two closely fought contests the past two weekends against conference foes Virginia and Wake Forest the

football team looks to rebound this Saturday against North Carolina State. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils (2-5, 03 in the ACC), the lOth-ranked Wolfpack enter the contest as the ACC’s hottest team, boasting a perfect 7-0 record. In quarterback Philip Rivers and running back, T.A. McLendon N.C. State features two of the premier offensive players in the country. Rivers has been nothing short ofphenomenal so far this season. His passing efficiency rating, a gaudy 170.8, is the nation’s best, and the junior has guided the Wolfpack to new offensive heights. The Wolfpack are averaging 43.7 points per game, good for third in the country. “Any team that throws the ball around gets me a little edgy,” said head coach Carl Franks. “We’re pretty good at stopping the run but Philip Rivers just has a knack for getting rid of the ball and finding open receivers. It’s going to be a challenge. We’re going to have to come up with some different stuff to hopefully give them some problems.” Unlike in previous years, however, when Rivers at times appeared to be a one-man show for the Wolfpack, N.C. State now boasts a talented ground attack to

The field hockey team (9-5, 0-3 in ACC) faces off against UNC (7-7, 2-2) in Chapel Hill tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m before taking on Radford at home in a non-ACC match at 2 p.m. the following day. The No. 10 Blue Devils are seeking to avenge a double overtime loss to the Tar Heels earlier in the season. “The weekend is UNC, that is where our focus is right now,” injured sophomore forward Johanna Bischof said. “After that game, we will move on and think about Radford, but right now we know that UNC is our big game.” Bischof, known as “Jo” to her teammates and coach,will be sorely missed up front. She is a powerful offensive presence who is leading the team in assists with nine, and tied for fifth in goals scored, with four. She is also third in points and second in shots. “We have spent the week trying to jockey our line-up around since we lost Jo,’ head coach Liz Tchou said. “She is

The Blue Devils look to redeem themselves from last year’s embarrassment against N.C. State at Wallace Wade Stadium. Duke had a 490 deficit in the middle of the second quarter before losing 55-31 on Nov. 5, 2001. Things do not look promising, however, with the Wolfpack improving more than Duke this season. N.C. State is undefeated and ranked No. 10 in the country, and quarterback Philip Rivers —by Robert Samuel. and running back T.A. McLendon have dominated the conference. State is hardly challenged in a 44-21 win.

match. Despite playing in just six games, many with a broken wrist, McLendon leads the ACC with 12 touchdowns and averages nearly 100 yards a contest. Faced with a fearsomely balanced offense, the Blue Devils hope to shut down the Wolfpack running game in order to

better contain its passing abilities. “[We want to] go out on first-and-10 and stop the run, force them to get into situations where they don’t really have a choice but to throw it,” said defensive end Micah Harris. ‘We’re going in with the mindset that we have every game. We’re not scared, we’re not going to back down and we’re going to stop the run.” Offensively, Duke hopes to do as it has done all season, namely to establish the ground game and control the match’s time of possession, a statistic in which the Blue Devils currently lead the ACC. Critical to the teams’ success will be its ability tq solve the turnover woes that plagued Duke in each of its previous two losses. Still seething over his side’s combined seven turnovers in two weeks, Franks also noted that the offense has struggled in practice to cure its sub-par ball handling. “Holding on to the ball is something we always work on,” Franks said. “We didn’t do a very good job of that v

why

MICAH HARRIS and the Duke defense must contain the potent Wolfpack offense

[Wednesday] but we’ll continue to emphasize ball security.” Another focus of the Blue Devils will be to forget last week’s depressing finish against Wake Forest. After overcoming two Wake Forest defensive touchdowns in the game’s opening 10 minutes Duke clawed back to within four at halftime. However, following another Demon Deacon big play—a 43-yard touchdown run—the Blue Devils struggled to retain their intensity. Duke ultimately lost by 26 points, a staggering margin of defeat for a team that had dominated statistically. “Fm not really worried about that—if anything I guess it was a fluke,” Harris said. ‘We were really frustrated and obviously it showed on the field. I think we’re just going to forget about that.” Instead, the Blue Devils hope to play within themselves and battle N.C. State for the entire four quarters. By hanging around until the final whistle Duke hopes ti wear down the Wolfpack. “All we want is that opportunity to be around in the fourth quarter and make the play to win the game,” said linebacker Jamyon Small. Duke also approaches Saturday’s matchup with an eye on the weather report. Asked whether he was wishing for rain, and knowing that his squad’s vulnerability through the air, Franks cracked a smile. “That would be fine with me,” he said, “It could pour down rain if it wants to.”

such a crucial part of the team.” Although Tchou would not disclose the new lineup, Bischof added that junior Kim Gogola would do a good job in her absence. “Kim has similar skills as me,” Bischof said. “She’s a bit more defensive that I am, but I am confident she will be able to step it up.” Aside from playing against its greatest rival on the road, the team will also have the “streak” on its mind. The Tar Heels have defeated the Blue Devils 47 consecutive times. Tchou, however, would not concede that it is on the minds of her players. “It’s a rivalry; it’s always going to be a rivalry,” Tchou said. “As for a streak, we don’t really think of it that way.” Commenting on the string of losses, Bischof offered this bold prediction. “We’ll win and end it,” she said. The Blue Devils will have to play solid defense versus a UNC team that tallied five goals against them

“We are going to have to keep possession of the backfield and play consistent ‘D’,” senior defender Sarah Wright said. UNC will undoubtedly come out strong, eager to end its own streak of three consecutive losses over the last two weeks, as well as rise above its mediocre .500 record. The Tar Heels, led by the scoring of Kerry Falgowski, will have to find some way to control the midfield in order to put together quality goal scoring opportunities. UNC, although outshooting UVa 15-1 last weekend, was unable to find the back of the net and ended up losing the game 1-0. The undeniable significance of a win for both teams will only increase the intensity level already stemming from the matchup. Duke’s determination in the face of the Tar Heels’ poor season should lead to a well-played match with Duke possibly emerging victorious. “With the Tar Heels at .500 and coming off three straight losses, the team knows, if any year, this is the year,” said Bischof.

DONALD McINTOSH hopes to lead the midfield in a solid game against the unranked Cavaliers.

SOCCER from page 11 potent offense that has outshot opponents 207-94. “I think the best defense is offense,” forward Owoicho Adogwa said. “We’re going to keep playing the way we know how to play.” Led by a quartet comprised of Adogwa, Jordan Cila, Donald Mclntosh and Danny Kramer, Duke’s offense has improved vastly compared to last year. Cila, who leads the team with six goals and seven assists, has catalyzed much of the Blue Devil’s offense thus far and will be expected to do more of the same against the Cavaliers. Adogwa, Mclntosh, and Kramer each have four goals on the season. Duke is banking on this well-rounded attack to neutralize Eskandarian and the Wahoo attack. “We’ve got to try to stop [Eskandarian],” goalie Justin Trowbridge said. “But they’ve got to contend with our balanced offense.” The contest promises to be a passionate affair, as the game is critical for both teams. This is perhaps more true for perennial national power Virginia, whose season could be made or broken depending on Sunday’s outcome. The Cavaliers have already been downed by ACC

rivals North Carolina, Wake Forest and Clemson, and upset by non-conference foes Penn State and William & Mary. Regardless, the Blue Devils will be anything but cavalier in their efforts against Virginia. “We’re going to go after them, we’re not going to adjust our game to them,” Trowbridge said. “We’ll make them adjust to us.” For Duke, the issue is not about what is at stake with a loss. Rather, the Blue Devils are focused on what can be gained with a victory. A win over Virginia would increase the team’s confidence, not to mention Duke’s place in the ACC and in the national polls. “If we beat Virginia then I think we’ll be on a good road confidence-wise,” Adogwa said. “It will be our fourth straight win and will set the tone in the ACC and for the rest of the season.”

The Chronicle ‘Difficult choices’

When

William Chafe, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, addressed the Arts and Sciences Council one year ago, he characterized his division’s financial outlook as one of “difficult choices.” Last Thursday, the task force Chafe charged with examining those choices issued its report, and the options are indeed disheartening. With a projected deficit that could reach $6 million by the 2006 fiscal year, Arts and Sciences may have to choose from among several cuts. In particular, the Arts and Sciences Council Budget Task Force studied four possible areas to cut: doctoral training support, faculty research support, average faculty compensation and overall size of the faculty. Since faculty compensation constitutes over a quarter of the budget, the task force naturally concluded that the main focus of cuts need to be there, either by actually slowing pay increases or reducing the faculty size through fewer searches. Arts and sciences faculty constitute the heart of any first-tier research university, and slowing its growth at Duke or even cutting its ranks —by as many as 50 professors in the worst-case scenario—would significantly dampen the University’s ambitions. For the sake ofindividual departments that need growth to keep up with research and teaching demands, and for strategic priorities that depend on an influx of new scholars, Arts and Sciences officials should try to minimize cuts to the faculty. Fortunately, administrators have acknowledged this dilemma and wisely have pledged to seek a variety of sources from which to find savings. There are several possible sources, however, that the task force could not consider, simply because much of the factors affecting the Arts and Sciences budget are beyond the division’s authority. As Provost Peter Lange told the task force, according to its report, the division’s budget lacks flexibility. Much of its spending has been set well in advance under the strategic plan, financial aid and cost sharing with other divisions. Anything that the central administration can do to delay or restructure these costs —by delaying lowpriority construction, for example—would be preferable to cuts to the faculty. The task force’s sobering report should also serve as a wake-up call to the Board ofTrustees, who, more than anyone else, can help shore up Arts and Sciences revenues for the future. Although Arts and Sciences needs to be mindful not to increase its tuition more than its peer schools do, it remains below average in overall costs. Even a slightly above-average increase would go a long way to solving the budget deficit, and the Trustees should choose such an increase if the alternative is deep faculty cuts. Arts and Sciences promises to have a bumpy road ahead. Together, the task force’s prudent planning and greater attention from central University officials can smooth the ride.

Faculty size is unlikely to be reduced by 50 people As one of the members of the Arts and Sciences Task Force that reported on jhe likely budget crunch facing Arts and Sciences in the next few years, I was surprised to read The Chronicle’s front page characterization of our report as endorsing a cut of 50 faculty members in Arts and Sciences. Our task force was charged with providing alternative scenarios for keeping the Arts and Sciences budget balanced, and we were limited in what kinds of solutions we could consider as a task force. One possibility for balancing the budget is indeed to cut 50 Arts and Sciences faculty positions in the coming years. However, I believe that the task force would consider an actual cut of this size to be rather dramatic and potentially quite damaging to the competitiveness of Duke as it attempts to compete with the very best universities. This is true especially in light of the fact that the burden of such a faculty size cut would fall disproportionately on some

departments while others would continue to grow, and in light of the fact that ongoing initiatives to create greater diversity of our faculty are likely to suffer from such a large cut. Duke, unlike some other elite universities, is an institution at which Arts and Sciences occupies the very core of what we are about. If

Thus, I believe that a more balanced interpretation of our report would lead to the conclusion that our budget situation is unlikely to allow the faculty in Arts and Sciences to continue to grow at the rates it has in past years and that indeed it may in fact

Gender task force investigates genuine inequities We would like to thank Bill English for his Oct. 7 column on women’s issues and the gender initiative at Duke. We would like to clarify a few facts, however, that he may have overlooked with regard

to gender discrepancies at Duke and in society at large, as well as illuminate the ultimate goals of the gender initiative this year. First off, we must emphasize that the purpose of Duke Inquiries on Gender is to investigate the societal causes behind truths such as these: 1. The Healthy Devil reports that at least 20 percent of undergraduate students have an eating disorder; 90 percent of those cases are female. 2. Only 18 percent of all offers and 25 percent of all promotions are received by women in the departments of Arts and Sciences across the country, according to Harvard Magazine. 3. Virtually all cases of sex-

ual assault reported on campus are reported by women. 4. Most women’s failure to complete an engineering degree is not based on academic shortcomings but a lack of social support for women in sciences, accordGoodman ing to the Research Group Inc. In his pursuit of truth,

English failed to understand that the mission of the DIG program is not to enforce Title IX in every arena, but rather to unmask the sources and implications of the above social realities. We thought we should provide clarification on the structure and goals of the initiative: 1. The purpose of the DIG program is to understand social and academic norms at Duke with relation to gender by collecting input through focus groups and forums that will include men and women. 2. The program seeks to hear many voices across a diverse base of people. In doing so, we (and others on

the

President’s

Steering

are collecting data from men and women on

Committee)

the undergraduate, graduate, faculty, staff and administrative levels. 3. This is not about “hostility between the sexes,” to use English’s words, but examining how gender may help determine our experiences and decisions. The task force is interested in norms of both femininity and masculinity. Although we cannot predict DlG’s ultimate impact, we cannot forego the opportunity to explore the implications of gender within our environ-

ment and possibly change it for the better. Thank you, Bill English, for reaffirming and publicizing our cause. Emily Grey Trinity ’O3

Commentary

The Chronicle

Taking a break Lately it seems every couple I know is redefining their relationship in order to see other people. Couples aren’t breaking up, but rather reshaping what they are under new names for the sake of a quasi-single life in college. Everyone has a different name for their new situation: there’s the “non-exclusive hook-up”, the “open relationship” and the ever popular “taking a break.” Whatever title they may be given, relationships in this new genre all amount to the same thing: a trial separation, only without the marriage. The creation of this new breed of dating comes from a fear of commitment and a desire for independence. We look at our college years as the time we’re supposed to be single—the time when we live it up before getting ready to settie down with someone for the long run. vm u

vviacn However, when we meet someone we The Y Perspective to commit to while it in college, want throws off the plans. We’re then faced with the ultimate decision: stay with the one you want and face regrets down the line of having been tied down instead of dating in college or break up and risk losing a good relationship for what might be out there. Being smart and selfish, we’ve decided we can have both. While these semi-committed relationships look great on paper, there are consequences that usually don’t get taken into account. Take it from me —the girl who plans everything and currently finds herself without control of the situation—with forced separations, it’s uncharted territory. When you and your significant other are apart, trying to reconfigure what you are is difficult. You have to detach the friendship from the romantic relationship. Dealing with distance that is self-inflicted doesn’t make the adjustment any easier. It’s a learning process, and you have to keep reminding yourself that what you once were is not what you are now. Though we may get used to it, obstacles can still arise. There is no thought to the way you will feel once you’re back in the dating game. As much as we tell ourselves we’re free to meet other people, guilt can result nonetheless. No one thinks about the anger and possible revenge-driven reaction that comes if you find out about your girlfriend's bedroom activities. Emotion is left out of the equation for these relationships and will be what makes or breaks them in the long run. What happens once couples get back together is another set of issues. First off, there’s the situation where one person in the relationship truly utilizes his or her freedom and the other does not. Much as couples will agree to accept whatever happens, it is extremely difficult to pick up where you left off knowing your boyfriend was with a lot of other people. Couples assume they will just fall back into their old relationship. We don’t entertain the thought that one or both people could want to stay single and end the relationship for good. There is also the problem of wanting to open the Pandora’s box and ask about your significant other’s actions, which could stir up feelings of jealousy and possession—a bad thing for any relationship. Hard as we have worked at creating a utopian dating environment, being pragmatic just doesn’t work when people’s

feelings are involved. We need to realize every relationship is different. While we know couples that made it through the fire, there is no guarantee that the same will happen for every one of us. Not every relationship was built to handle such a change. It’s the same reason why some marriages last and others don’t. Relationships will come out ofthis separation unscathed, some may be damaged, and others may not survive. This is the risk we take when trying to have our cake and eat it too. As my Swedish friend aptly put it, “You Americans like to complicate things.” We are so intent on having it all that we take a chance of hurting ourselves and the people we date by forcing separation into our relationships. So, coming from someone currently in the trenches, the only advice I can offer is for each couple to think carefully before redefining their relationship. This isn’t something that progresses naturally, and you must accept that results can be different than expected. You need to decide if separating is a risk you are willing to take with your boyfriend or girlfriend. In the end, it comes down to the faith you have in yourself and your relationship—if it’s meant to last, you two will endure the latest craze in relationship metamorphosis.

Ethan Schiffres

The fear engulfing the Washington region is eerily similar to the fear that struck Duke’s campus after last week’s assault in a Wannamaker bathroom. The day following the

attack, several Wannamaker girls expressed their reluctance to sleep in their dorm that night. One of my friends told me that she will no longer go to the bathroom by herself, especially at night. It is a sad state of humanity when people cannot do something as simple as going to bathroom without feeling threatened. What, then, can we do when confronted with this fear on an everyday basis? Perhaps the best message comes from an eight-year-old child. In an article published after the tenth shooting, the child was quoted saying to his mother, “If it’s our time to go, it’s our time to go, so why can’t we just go on with our lives?” As much as I do not believe in the predestinationist, “our time to go” aspect of the comment, there is only so much we can do to minimize our risk for attack. Beyond those measures, our best option is to go on with our lives. If we let fear dictate our behavior, the terrorists, rapists, and other degenerates of the world will have accomplished what they set out to do. Hopefhlly, the sniper in Washington and the attacker in Wannamaker will be caught. For now, we must tackle our fears and lead normal fives. Ethan Schiffres is a Trinity sophomore.
