ministrators and other members of the Duke community discussed how much convenience they would be willing to sacrifice for improved campus safety at a “town hall” meeting Monday night in the Bryan Center. About 40 people, mostly residence coordinators and Duke Student Government legislators, attended the meeting, organized by members of DSG’s student affairs committee. Four administrators spoke, listened to concerns and answered questions from the audience. “At what point do we give up convenience to reduce risk?” Larry Moneta, vice president for

Students are expressing mixed reactions to news that course evaluations next semester will only be provided online for the classes of those professors who wish to opt-in to the program. In registering for courses in the previous two semesters and the upcoming spring semester, students were and are able to access evaluation reports for all Trinity College courses except those of professors who asked for them to be removed. Arts and Sciences Council members are expected in December to approve a modified system, in which evaluation results are only put online if requested by a professor. Last year, the council only approved the opt-out system on a semester-by-semester basis. Lyndsay Beal, Duke Student Government vice president for academic affairs, said council Chair and history professor Ronald Witt told her at the beginning of the academic year that a permanent optout system would not pass. Since then, she said, her committee has been working to ensure that the council will approve the opt-in system, while still making a last-ditch effort to get the previous system

“It is more important to us that the online evaluations system continues,” said Beal, a senior. “We don’t want to run the risk of it failing.” Beal said her committee is trying to speak with every member of the council before the December vote.

Grasso discusses confidence in U.S. business City council

tweaks transit plan

By BENJAMIN PERAHIA The Chronicle

Financial markets will soon regain the public’s confidence in the wake of recent corporate scandals, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the New York Stock Exchange Dick Grasso told an audience at the Washington Duke Inn Monday night. Grasso’s speech introduced a two-day program that continues today and tomorrow entitled “The Directors’ Education Institute at Duke University,” which the Fuqua School of Business and the School of Law are co-sponsoring. At $3,250 a head, corporate leaders from around the nation gathered to learn about new efforts to ensure business legitimacy in the

wake of the Enron financial scandal. “It was the perfect storm of failure that started with Enron but did not end with Enron,” Grasso said in his keynote address. “The public will absolutely come back if we can say, with complete candor, we have stripped the system of bad people and bad practices.” Grasso outlined past NYSE measures to regulate its member companies. As far back as the 19505, the stock exchange has prioritized independent checks on its companies, he said. “We got it wrong in the latter part of the 905,” Grasso said. “We’ll get it right again with the help of some very stringent regulations, some of which we’ve already put in place.” The NYSE appointed the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee earlier this year to find ways to more effectively monitor publicly held companies. “Independent directors are not there for the private entertainment of managers—they are there to represent the stockholders,” Grasso said. He added that the NYSE will also ensure strict punishments for those who are dishonest in their business transactions and that other stock markets would embrace the findings. “When you break the rules, we kick you out—not after lengthy judicial encounter, but that day,” he said. “Seven trillion dollars is missing from the wealth of

With the completion of the full plan a long way away, Henry Faison, chair of Faison Development, and the city council are concerned with revitalizing the currently devastated South Square area. Faison said knowledge of a future corridor through the shopping center’s parking lot may have turned away the potential lessees necessary for the desperately needed renovation. “If we can get this corridor relocated we will be able to get the demolition of the mall underwayby November,” Faison said.

Student Affairs seeks technical support group Moneta exploring options with OIT, student groups to provide computing infrastructure By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

A series of hiccups among student organization websites has prompted Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta to explore options for creating increased technical support for the websites. The project, still in its initial stages, could result in a new organization for website facilitation and development housed in the Division of Student Affairs. Currently, technical support for student group websites is scattered among various offices on campus. The Office of Information Technology hosts most of the Duke University Union

website, while Duke Student Publishing Company programs for DevilNet

and Duke Student Government. Many more student organization websites are run independently by group webmasters and have experienced little technical difficulty, although Moneta said that students are sometimes unaware of the avenues by which they can create webpages. Student Affairs is currently considering and pricing various models for technical support infrastructure. Moneta said the process is only in initial stages, partly because no predominant model for student organization technical support has been established at academic institutions. “It’s pretty [much] all over the place because nobody’s really budgeted to do

that,” he said.

The inquiries into technical support

infrastructures come after unrelated disturbances in the flow ofInternet activity among student organization websites in recent months, Moneta said. Most notably, the crash of the Union’s server last June forced it to outsource its calendar of events because it could not afford to purchase a new server. OIT continues to host the remainder of the Union’s website. “Sometimes technical support is lacking,” said sophomore Rio Pierce, communications director for the Union. “I know there are a lot of initiatives to develop technical support and the Union is looking forward to that.” Problems also arose during this fall’s DSG elections. Although the online voting system reportedly ran

smoothly, there was a frenzied period of preparation for the election due to

communication failures that sparked concern in the administration, said DSPC online manager Seth Lankford. He added that DSPC—an independent corporation that also publishes The Chronicle—has decided to shift its focus away from facilitating external groups, but that organizations such as DSG should not be left without technical support. “We’re mainly going to be working on things internal to DSPC now like Devil Net and The Chronicle,” said Lankford, a junior. “Once the administration gets its plans up and operational, that should be what’s going to take care of all the student groups.”

Authorities prevent planned bombing attack in Brazil By STAN LEHMAN Associated Press

SAO PAULO, Brazil Police thwarted a plan by organized crime to blow up the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange with a car packed with explosives, authorities said Monday. A car carrying about 65 pounds of explosives was found early Monday on a highway near the city of Campinas, 55 miles northwest of Sao Paulo, said Godofredo Bittencourt, head of the organized crime division of the Sao Paulo police. Police blocked the highway and deactivated the explosives, which were found in a suitcase along with dirty laundry, Bittencourt said. “I can’t say how powerful the bomb was, but it

would definitely have killed anyone within a 20-meter radius,” he added. At a news conference, police displayed some 70 detonators and long white tubes of dynamite commonly used in demolition work, as well as a battered

white suitcase. Carlos Alberto da Silva, spokesperson for the Sao Paulo State Security Department, blamed the First Capital Command—the same group that planned a deadly prison rebellion in February 2001. “Using wire taps, our intelligence service intercepted phone calls that helped uncover the plot,” Silva said. “They discovered we knew what they were planning and abandoned the car.” Officials said the bombing was planned for some

time this week, but there was no direct evidence linking it to Sunday’s presidential election in Brazil. The foiled bombing appeared to be an attempt by the gang to show its strength to authorities although some of its leaders are in prison. Silva said police arrested Petrolina Maria de Carvalho Felicio, the wife of Jose Marcio Felicio, a jailed leader of First Capital Command, known by its acronym FCC. “She carried messages from her husband to other PCC members who would execute the plan,” Silva said of the arrest. After the gangrealized the police had uncovered the plot, they hijacked a car to dispose of the bomb, but the car broke down on the highway, police said.

to protect yourself and others,” said Jim Clack, director of Counseling and Psychological Services, who received several shouts of “amen” during the meeting. Moneta and Duke University Police Department Chief Clarence Birkhead asked students to take responsibility by serving as the “eyes and ears” of administrators. By reaching out to people who are frightened and by promoting safety-conscious discussion, Moneta said students can help prevent crime themselves. Donna Lisker, director of the Women’s Center, said this consciousness should extend beyond widely reported cases. She said sexual assault happens every week at Duke and that 80 percent of victims know their attackers. The most important precau-

tions students can take is to stay in control of drinking and communicate more about sexual behavior, she said. Throughout the meeting, adminis-

trators and students discussed specific security precautions, many of which had already been proposed. When asked by DSG Vice President for Student Affairs and meeting moderator Troy Clair, almost everyone in the audience supported mounting security cameras outside all dorm entries to deter crime, though some students said camera surveillance inside dorms was going too far. Clack expressed doubt about whether

Birkhead also expressed concern that students might vandalize cameras and said he was working with Moneta on surveys to determine how

effective cameras would be. The surveys would take time, Birkhead said. Students also asked about installing DukeCard access to bathrooms. Moneta said that will also take time because there are over 500 bathrooms on campus. When asked, most audience members supported card access to all residential bathrooms. Other students asked about a possible “safe-walk” program, providing es-

corts for students who feel uncomfortable walking alone at night. Though the University already has such a program, Birkhead said it was understaffed. might consider sexual assault....

COURSE EVALS from page 1 In these one-on-one meetings, legislators will try to gauge if there is a chance the professor would vote in favor of an opt-out system, and, if not, try to convince them of the merits of the opt-in system. “We’re trying to do everything we can to make sure that the option that is most beneficial to students happens,” Beal said. “We are really going to try to pressure departments to put their evaluations online and discuss methods by which the opt-in is very easy to do.” The academic affairs committee was prepared, she added, to stage a campaign to bring back the opt-out system, including forums, petitions, DSG resolutions and Chronicle advertisements. However, Beal said that Witt advised the committee to save the effort be-

cause although faculty members understand that students mostly support the opt-out system, they still were going to vote it down. He instead urged them to concentrate on passing an opt-in system, which he had said should not be a difficult task because professors are unlikely to take away from their peers the option of posting such evaluations. Students, meanwhile, said they were in favor of whatever type of online course evaluations system would be made available to them. “Sometimes when you take a course, a professor will be really good or really bad in certain areas, and you want to have the ability to give feedback to others of what worked for you and what didn’t,” said Tom Walther, a sophomore. Some said they did not understand why council members would prefer the proposed system over the new one

stalls, Duke police patrol of the Trinity Park neighborhood and mandatory education programs for students. Although she thought the meeting was a good starting point, freshman Linda Arnade, a DSG legislator, said she wished more students had been present. “What I think was unfortunate was... that there weren’t enough nonstudent-leaders here,” she said. In the future, Arnade added, smaller group meetings might be more effec-

tive discourse. Sophomore Ashley Rudisill said she considered safety when choosing between Duke and the University of Pennsylvania. “One of the reasons that I didn’t choose Penn was because [its security precautions were] inconvenient,” she said. “But at that point, I guess I hadn’t known girls who were [assaulted] in a bathroom.”

“If all the professors have to do is fill out one form, I don’t see any real difference between opt-in and opt-out,” said junior Dave Allen. Others, however, said they did not mind that the opt-out system will not be passed. Sophomore John Cochenour, for example, said he has never consulted course evaluation data in choosing a class. He pointed to many ofthe same reasons that professors articulate when objecting to the system, especially the subjectivity of the 1 through 5 rankings. “A ‘s’ means something different to everyone,” Cochenour said. “Some people get along with a professor and some don’t. What’s a lot of work to one may not be to another.” Senior Kat Townes said she would continue to rely upon her undergraduate friends for advice on what courses to take.

Other members said the change in the transit plan would be so slight that the potential increase in attractiveness to retailers makes it worthwhile. “These are minor changes,” said mayor pro tempore Lewis Cheek. “If we were looking at doing something really major, I could see why we would want additional studies and reviews.” Steve Gaddis, lobbying for the Durham Area Designers, argued against moving the corridor, claiming it sets a poor precedent that will encourage future attempts to alter the plan. He said other affected institutions, such as Duke University and the Durham County School System, could request changes too. Gaddis also urged the council not to

sway in favor of short term achieve-

ments, like bringing Sam’s Club and

Target to Durham. “We need to be planning a mass transit system,” he said. “It is unwise to serve short-term problems while ignoring longrange ones.” Durham Mayor Bill Bell said his experience as former chair of the Triangle Transit Authority gave him confidence in the changed plans, but also said he took into consideration DAD’s request to leave the plan unchanged. “I don’t take lightly the concerns of the opposition,” he said. This segment of the corridor is part of Phase II of the DAD’s plan to reinvent the now blighted South Square Mall area. Its purpose is to facilitate easier transportation on U.S. 15-501 between Durham and Chapel Hill, relieving traffic congestion. The current plan does not specify exactly what mode of transportation will run along the path, though several ideas are being considered from a light rail sys-

tem to regular automobiles.

Administrators and students also pointed to long-time advantages to living on Edens, especially for students who do not receive their top choices on Main West or those who do not want to live on Main West. “The rooms I have seen on West are cluttered and not as well-maintained as those in Edens,” said sophomore Aisha Taylor. “Edens is like a small community away from the chaotic atmosphere of the rest of campus and now that the WEL is here there really is more of a community feel and less detachment from the rest of campus.” Some fraternities also prefer the Edens location. Junior Damien Moore, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., said the fraternity has had several successful events since the beginning of the year. “It’s nice having parties in our new location because we have more room and are able to hold events without worrying about disturbing too many people,” he said. Deb Loßiondo, assistant dean of residence life and housing services, pointed to Edens’ structural advantages as well—such as smaller communities, a larger picnic shelter and gazebo, more space and central air conditioning.

to meet or to have a snack.” Junior Jeff Adams, a secondyear Edens resident, said he enjoys the convenience of new dining options, but that the WEL may succeed in further isolating Edens residents from the main West Campus scene. “The WEL has made living in Edens and making the hike up to West more pleasant,” he said. “However, if the University’s goal was to integrate Edens into Main West, the WEL is actually counterproductive. Now that I can conveniently eat in Edens I have one less reason to go up to Main West. In fact, the only time I am up there is for class.” Others pointed to the WEL as a safer landmark on the walk between West and Edens than the previous mix of forests, parking

lots and construction. Still other students felt that more could be done to ensure safety in the more

Men’s golf leads Duke Golf Open Injury ends Two sub-par rounds land Duke’s Mike Castleforte in Ist with 1 day left By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle

After a surge in Monday’s second round, the men’s golf team is tied for the top spot on the leaderboard at the Duke Golf Open. The Blue Devils’ six-over-par score of 582 has them tied with Michigan State for the lead after 36 holes at the Duke Golf Club. Monday’s damp conditions, combined with the Duke Golf Club’s degree of difficulty, had a noticeable impact upon all ofthe 14 teams playing. None of the teams broke par for the day, and almost all of the individual scores were surprisingly high. The day before only four individual golfers had snuck under par, with one of the most outstanding performances belonging to Duke’s Mike Castleforte. Castleforte finished the first round with a 69, a score that put him in second place, two strokes off Patrick Nagle of Illinois, the leader. But while Nagle combusted during the second round, Castleforte only got better. The Ohio native turned in a 67 Monday, putting him at eight under par. Castleforte has a five-stroke lead on his nearest competitor, Oliver Wilson of Augusta State. Castleforte credits his success to a mixture of conservative play and risk-taking.

Blue Devils lose wideout Reggie Love for remainder of season to medial and posterior collateral ligament damage. By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

The bittersweet attitude that accompanied the football team after it narrowly missed the role of David to thenNo. 10 N.C. State’s Goliath continued when it was announced that muchimproved wide receiver Reggie Love is out for the season with injuries to his medial collateral and posterior collateral ligaments. It is still unknown if the knee injury will require surgery, and whether or not Love will be ready for spring practice. Head coach Carl Franks was visibly disappointed by the news, noting that Love was just beginning to become the player he had envisioned. “He had been playing very, very well,” Franks said. “I’ve been on him a little bit as far as becoming a football player that he had the potential to be. It’s disappointing from the stand-point See LOVE on page 12

Blue Devils row to one of program’s best finishes Racin 2 boats for first time at Charles, Duke finishes 16th and 13th in championship 4 and 8 By SARAH O’CONNOR The Chronicle

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. The rowing team began its fall season this past weekend at the XXXVIII Head of the Charles Regatta in Cambridge, Mass. In the Sunday afternoon races, Duke’s championship eight squad finished 16th of 47 with a time of 17:35. The Blue Devils lost to top finisher US. Rowing by 1:13. In the champ four race, Duke finished 13th of 33 with a time of 19:50. It was the first year that Duke had entries in two championship events—a feat that made head coach Robyn Horner particularly happy. “We’re adding depth to our program... this was an opportunity to test ourselves deeper than just the eight,” she said. The champ eight, in particular, put out an aggressive race. Senior Amelia Booth, who has raced at the Charles for the past four years, was pleased with her boat’s performance. “It was our best Head of the Charles ever,” she said. “The last three years we’ve come across the line thinking we could have done better, not this year.” The Head of the Charles has a staggered start in weekend, THE ROWING TEAM netted a 16th place finish at the Head of the Charles this

GOLF from page 9 “My initial strategy was just to make the pars and let the birdies happen,” he said, “but I got aggressive at the end of the first round.” His aggression certainly paid off. The

highlight of Castleforte’s tournament was on the 14th hole of the first round, when he holed a wedge shot for eagle “On any day, this course is tough,” said sophomore David French, “with weather like today’s, it’s near impossi-

ble. But Mike definitely showed it could be done.”

Duke’s finish paralleled Castleforte’s as the Blue Devils finished the first

round in third place, behind Michigan State and the Illini. After a rough start a four-under-par 284 in the second round netted Duke a 582 on the day and a share of the lead. “I was disappointed with the first round,” said sophomore Tom Lefebvre, as the final players were coming in. “For a team like us, 298 is just no good. But it looks like we’re playing well now.” Castleforte’s blazing performance was not the only bright spot foHhe Blue Devils, as the entire team played well

during the second round. Leif Olson logged a two over par 146 on the day, highlighted by a 70 during the second round. Tom Lefebvre turned in a 149, with an even par 72 on the latter round. Ryan Blaum scored a 151 on the day, and Rob Beasley earned a 152. All five Blue Devil starters improved their scores in the second round. Duke goes into tomorrow’s final round with confidence and a share of the lead. “We can play a lot better tomorrow,” said Castleforte, “we’ve got to have the

which boats begin the race at 15 second intervals. While some crews find it difficult to maintain motivation during the three mile race the Blue Devils said they were fortunate to have Clemson starting one boat in front of them. “Positioning helped us,” Booth said. “We had someone to work against the whole way down... as soon as we got through Clemson, BC was right there Halfway through the race, Duke’s eight clashed oars with Clemson when coming out of Weeks Footbridge, near the 1.5 mile mark. Clemson would not yield, and Duke was forced to ease off and free its oars. The Blue Devils recovered quickly, and were able to overtake Clemson. In the end, Duke finished 23 seconds in front of the Tigers. Duke’s champ four was positioned behind the University of Pennsylvania,

Senior Kim Meyer said she was though the four performed well too. “We were perfectly set, it was smooth, and we were swinging together... were able to walk up on Penn right away,” she said. Baily, has coxed three times at the Head of the Charles, and was very proud ofher four’s performance. “We’ve been practicing alone, just our four, up against eights,” she said, explaining the fears of her boat just prior to the race. “This was our first time having fours in front of us and behind us.” Horner was impressed by both boats and attributes their successes to “knowing that the best crews in the country were here and finding the intensity.” Homer claimed that the two boats, after practicing the course twice before their races Sunday, were “at their best both mentally and physically.”

LOVE from page 9 that he’s worked so hard to put himself where he’s out there making contributions and is a big part of the team. Now he’s lost for the rest of the year.” Love started the season slow, but had a break-out game' against Virginia, catching six balls for 67 yards. He continued this success when he had 41 of the team’s 98 receiving yards against Wake Forest. Adam Smith, who has used Love to develop from a shaky novice, also expressed his disappointment about the injury, but remained confident about the team’s passing game for the rest of the season. “You just look at [Reggie] and you know he’s a weapon,” Smith said. “It’s definitely a huge loss for our team. He had been stepping up his game, and playing the way everybody knew he could play. We’re just going to have some other guys that need to step-up. It’s another great opportunity for those guys. We all have faith in our receivers.” Franks said that Ben Kittleson and Mark Wigal will be given opportunities to earn Love’s spot. Franks said he hopes the two will improve greatly once given more game experience. Franks also said that he was very pleased with the development of his defense. When Franks hired defensive coordinator Ted Roof, he said the two decided that the best players needed to be on the field at all times. Duke has experimented with players switching positions to get the team as athletic as possible. “I knew we would improve,” Franks said. “How much? I didn’t know. How hard those players worked, how hard our coaches worked, and the defenses we run have all come together very well to make a significant improvement to our defense.” The most notable difference between this year and last year’s defense is the tackling. Last year many big plays occurred for Duke’s opposition when the Blue Devils could not make basic stops. Franks said the improvement in tackling is totally from the players, and not based on a superior coaching technique. “We don’t teach tackling any different than when

we’ve ever taught tackling,” Franks said. “The biggest difference is that we’re in position to tackle better

than we’ve ever been. If you watched us a few years ago, we were always a step away. Now we’re there.” Franks turned his attention to next week’s opponent, Maryland, saying he was impressed with the Terps play. Last year’s ACC champions started the season slow, with injuries and personnel changes plaguing the Terrapins. “They have looked extremely good in the last four football games,” Franks said. “They’re very good at all types of varieties of offense that you’d think people would have to major in to be good at. You’ve got to

major in the option to be good at it, but they don’t major in the option, and they’re still good at doing it.” The Blue Devils look to avoid breaking the record of the most consecutive ACC losses against Maryland. “We’ll be talking about [the streak] some, but it’s something we generally avoid,” Smith said

Publishing problems

Recent

financial difficulties plaguing university presses have caused them to cut back on the number of books they publish or even eliminate humanities publishing all together. The trend toward a reduction of and consolidation in publishing has the potential to adversely affect assistant professors seeking tenure, since most humanities departments require young scholars to publish at least one monograph. The problem is that publishing is clearly essential, not just for tenure, but for all of academia. Although academic texts are not generally best-sellers and do not have large press runs, the work that goes into writing the texts and the results of academics’ research are important, not only for others in the same field but for the advancement ofknowledge. Society benefits tremendously from the increases in knowledge resulting from publishing new works. Universities, including Duke, need to have some level of standards for who wins tenure, and the general requirement that tenured professors have at least one book under their belt seems like a natural one. However, if publishing at university presses becomes so crunched that there simply are not enough slots to go around, universities must consider changing their tenure standards. Obviously, a university needs a certain level of tenured professors to function, so if the amount of publishing going on is reduced significantly, then universities will need to alter their standards and perhaps stop requiring published monographs. This publishing crunch should be less of an issue at Duke, since Duke is one of the nation’s premier research institutions. While professors at universities with weaker programs will perhaps be squeezed out of the system, the publishing slots that remain should be going to Duke-caliber professors. Moreover, the publishing crunch will affect different departments in different ways. First, there is the divide between publishing in the humanities and publishing in the social sciences or natural sciences, all of which are very different publishing environments. Second, there are differences in quality between Duke’s various departments, so that those departments at the top of their field should have less of an issue than worse departments. Currently, the Duke administration’s approach to the publishing and tenure problem is to wait and see, without altering standards before understanding the magnitude ofthe problem as it affects Duke professors. Additionally, Provost Peter Lange has said he will wait for more information, particularly a Modem Language Association study, on the problem before doing anything. This is a sensible approach. But if the publishing problems are real, then universities need to look into other options. One promising option is e-publishing. Since much of the cost incurred by university presses is the expense of printing a work on paper, by publishing quality works electronically, presses would save money and would still continue their mission to disseminate valuable academic research. Of course, there are shortcomings to e-publishing, but if one or several universities stepped forward to develop a peer review system and convenient access for electronic works, it could alleviate the publishing crunch and benefit academics and universities alike.

Letters to the

Sniper attacks give a glimpse into Israeli reality Being from Montgomery Country, Maryland, I have had the privilege to experience true terror. For fall break, I drove home to visit friends and family expecting to find the sheltered little town I remember. Instead, I encountered a battlefield marked with death and fear. With the serial sniper on the loose, it was no surprise that my sheltered little town had changed drastically. Unlike other breaks last year or during high school, there were no late nights of

Being abruptly forced into this unfamiliar environment, I could not help but think about how my situation was so strikingly similar to the situation occurring currently in

Israel, where each and everyday Israelis are forced to five in fear of being blown up by homicide bombers on buses and in cafes or being shot at on the streets simply because they are Israeli. Here, confined within the safety of the Duke campus, we are able to separate ourselves from these realities happening around the world since most do not directly affect us. However, terror is closer to us than we think. A couple months ago a homicide bomber blew himself up in a cafeteria at Hebrew

excitement. The entire town was on lockdown. High school football and soccer games were canceled. My brother’s

seven students, two of them Israeli and five of them American. Just think how it would feel to be in constant fear for your life next time you decide to go to Dillo, The Loop or McDonalds.

I only experienced terror for three days while the Israelis experience terror every day of their lives. I had the freedom to runaway and hide from terror and fear here in this utopian bubble. Not until we as a community step forward from isolation and speak out against the crimes against humanity throughout the entire Arab world will an Israeli or (Muslim, Christian Jewish) ever be free.

Changes in security don’t change rape culture In my four years at Duke, four of my friends were sexually assaulted or attacked on campus with the intent to sexually assault. Two were committed by acquaintances and two by unknown assailants, but not a single perpetrator was charged in any of these cases. Apparently, sexual assault is not a punishable offense on this campus. Right after each attack, mandatory dorm meetings were held to tell female residents to lock

not walking alone at night and now escalating to not entering unsecured rooms, Locks, self-defense classes and the buddy system may keep you personally from being assaulted but will never stop rapes from occurring, Why? Because women do not cause sexual assaults, they do not ask to be raped by walking alone at night or being in an unlocked bathroom. Only rapists cause rapes, Instead of just teaching -

women how to protect themselves from the potential,

The current campus culture towards women and sexual assault can lead men to view rape as okay and that

they have the right to violate a woman and not be punished.

To effectively prevent violence against women we need to educate those who cause the violence, punish those who commit sexual assaults and change the culture for women on this campus.

Parents just don’t understand The Duke store is stocking up on bumper Dad stickers. Reservations have been made at Magnolia Grill. In four days, rooms will be as clean as they are all year. It’s that time again: Parents’ Weekend! Nevermind that they will find nowhere to park; somehow, the ’rents will arrive at your dorm and ooh and ahh over your skills/ roommate’s taste/talent in (blank) as you stand back, devising the next activity for these people you love and want to make Mary proud but sometimes Adkins detest—what is your Construction relationship with these folks now? Ahead My freshman year, I was eager to sjiow my parents just how wonderful a time I was having at Duke. We wore blue to the football game, threw a tailgate party for all my new friends; they came to my gospel choir concert. Just as they were leaving, my mom said, “You seem unhappy.” Was I? I didn’t think so; but maybe I was. Or maybe I wasn’t and just thought I was because she said so. When they left, I realized that she was right; my life was lacking something. Turns out, it was a couch. Or rather, more organization and light in my dorm room (the place was quite dim). But her comment left me to wonder: to what extent am I really independent as a college student or is my independence purely physical? After all, I was not unhappy until she told me I was. This summer, I lived in a small vilDuke

lage in the south ofFrance for a month with my family; yes, this means that essentially the only people I talked to for four weeks were my sister, parents and aunt. (Okay, okay—l could have practiced my French more with the natives, but do not pretend you would be disciplined and confident enough to approach the four teenagers in the garden every afternoon and utter what would have been the equivalent of “I am American; have okay that I sit?”) One morning we went to a Provencal market, and my mom and I had to shake hands—literally. She asked me what was wrong, and I told her. Sparing you the details, we had both been thinking of each other as extensions of ourselves, and it wasn’t working. I did not like what she wanted to do and talk about, and I did not like that she did not like what I wanted to do or talk about. In other words, she was not me, and that was a problem. It is funny how living away from home, you realize things about yourself you could not as your parents’ tenant. “Wait, I actually do not enjoy this. And I have always just done it without question!” Becoming a person who is not only your parent’s daughter or son means facing the challenge of relating to them as a new person, and that is

bound to cause some conflict. The key to emerging from this conflict in tact is to recognize the change and accept it (I am mainly talking to parents at this point): “John is a real person, parts of whom are like me, and parts of whom are not. That’s okay.” Unfortunately, the adjustment is rarely this simple. Tension pervades

Tension pervades conversation for a while, then resentment ensues in the mind of the student, then finally—hopefully—someone does the confronting: “What’s going on, here?” hurtful, but it beats the alternative: an

estranged relationship. Here is how my relationship with my parents has evolved (of course simplified for the sake of condensed description—my mom and dad each have unique relationships with me): Entering college, I sought independence. Realizing that moving out did not grant me this, I became resentful and thought that internal criticism of my parents would distinguish me from them. When that only made me more unhappy, I waited for another way out until finally realizing that independence meant not rebelling, but acting as an individual who is partly the product of my parents and partly not. Today, I laud my father’s ability to excel at work while putting family first

Some concludmg thoughts: Parents, do not dismiss your child’s political views as a phase of youth (at least not out loud). Do not exercise your right to say, “no” without discussion. Do not interpret our making choices different from yours as a response to your parenting. To students: Do not blame your parents for teaching you what they believe. Do not react to what they taught you by embracing the opposite of it. Do not assume that they should be able to accept the new you with ease. Coming out of this as friends means cutting each other some slack. And from my corner, the new friendship is worth the slack.
