FRATERNITY INSIGNIA adorn the bridge near East Campus. Though bridge-painting may always be a tradition, fraternity members may be making fewer appearances in East Campus dorms as one of several possible changes to the rush process proposed by the IFC.

IFC proposes ending ‘dorm storming’ By MEGAN CARROLL The Chronicle

As the Interfratemity Council prepares to make changes in the recruitment process next week, it seems the days of “dorm storming”—when upperclassmen fraternity brothers swarmed East Campus to hand out personal invites for upcoming events during recruitment—are numbered. Instead of dorm storming, potential members will go to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life to pick up invitations. Other proposed changes include shortening the rush period, instituting alcohol-free dinner and event nights, mandating online sign-ups, offering two IFC presentations about fraternity life, and making Community Service Weekend the first weekend ofrush.

Todd Adams, director of OFSL, said he initiated the discussion among IFC members about evaluating the recruitment process but left the details to them. “They worked very hard and looked concretely and intentionally at the process,” Adams said. “Sometimes it’s difficult to look inward.... That’s been one of the difficulties with our greek community.” IFC President and senior Jeremy Morgan said removing dorm storming was a security issue. “[lt’s unnecessary] that many upperclassmen guys [are] running around dorms when they’re really not supposed to be there,” he said.

For the second year in a row, the Duke University Management Company had a negative return. During the 2002 fiscal year that ended June 30, the University and the Health System lost $l7O million in assets. DUMAC, which invests the University’s $4.5 billion endowment and other assets, lost 3.8 percent of its long-term pool fund. The fund, which reached a high of almost $2.66 billion two years ago, ended the fiscal year around $2.37 billion, down from about $2.5 billion last year. “Like the year before, [fiscal year] 2002 was a challenge for long-term investors... to shield themselves from the turbulence in equity markets,” said

DUMAC President Thruston Morton in a statement to be released today. In a more long-term snapshot, the 10-year annualized return was 16.7 percent, the five-year return was 16.6 percent and the three-year return was 13.4 percent.

New York Times News Service

Israel’s 19TEL AVIV, Israel month-old coalition government was on the brink of breaking apart Tuesday night as ministers from the left-leaning Labor Party said they would depart rather than support Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s proposed budget. A confrontation dismissed by politicians and analysts days ago as mere posturing revealed itself Tuesday as Sharon’s most dire political crisis.

Iranian president opposes war with Iraq By ELAINE SCIOLINO

New York Times News Service

In a sharp criticism of the United MADRID, Spain States, President Mohammad Khatami of Iran said Tuesday that his country opposed a war against neighboring Iraq and charged that Washington’s misguided war on terrorism had strengthened support for Osama bin Laden in the Muslim world. “Have the erroneous policies of the United States

made bin Laden more popular or more hated than before in various sectors of the Islamic world?”Khatami asked at a joint news conference with the Spanish prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, during a three-day official visit to Spain. “Have the erroneous policies of the United States weakened Islamic trends that favor wisdom and democracy? The United States with its hegemony has

strengthened bin Laden, so we ought to condemn it in some way for supporting terrorism Khatami even likened the logic ofbin Laden to that of President George W. Bush. “I hear a discourse from two poles,” Khatami said in his native Persian. “One is the voice raised from Afghanistan by bin Laden that says, ‘Whoever is not with us must be destroyed.’ The other is the voice from the United States that says, ‘Whoever is not with us is against us.’ He added, “That is a logic which on one side leads to the most atrocious forms of terror and, on the other side, on the pretext of confronting terrorism, creates the worst type of atmosphere for waging war.” Khatami, a midlevel cleric who studied philosophy, is ”

Chapel Hill expects larger holiday crowd Dole boasts Police say security will be less strict than at last year’s celebration array of By JOHN KORMAN The Chronicle

Halloween is fast approaching, and Duke students are ready to get the party started in downtown Chapel Hill. In 2001, tight restrictions on vehicular traffic effectively reduced the large crowds that have ranged from 50,000 to 70,000 partygoers in past years to only 25,000. This year, however, restrictions will be partially eased, and police expect the crowd size to return to normal. In an almost 20-year-old tradition, merrymakers from across North Carolina will participate in the festivities. Although the Halloween celebration originated from costumed local residents walking along the downtown sidewalks, crowd size has burgeoned in recent years. Last Halloween, in response to the looming possibility of domestic terrorism, police took stringent security precautions. Parking was forbidden along residential streets, and no traffic could enter within a one-mile radius of the downtown area. And in what could almost have been considered a Halloween prank in previous years, police set up anthrax decontamination booths downtown. Chapel Hill Police Department spokesperson Jane Cousins said last year’s drastic measures were taken to ensure the safety of participants and to prevent the destruction of private property. But many students believe that security officials crossed the line. Sophomore Sajid Anwar said police last year confiscated the plastic wand ofa costumed fiveyear-old. In addition, officials took a plastic pitchfork from one of Anwar’s friends, dressed as a devil. “I felt safe but just thought it was ridiculous,” Anwar said.

Elizabeth Dole, who grew up in North Carolina and went to Duke before spending her professional life in Washington, has come full circle. In her race to succeed Jesse Helms in the U.S. Senate, she has espoused her Salisbury, N.C., roots while also showcasing her impressive Washington resume. Bom in 1936 in Salisbury, Dole grew up in small-town North Carolina and attended the local high school there. Afterward, Duke, then a regional institution more than a national one, became Dole’s playground. There she served as president of the Woman’s College Student Government, was a member ofthe Delta Delta Delta sorority and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. A Trustee from 1974 to 1985, Dole has elicited a band of admirers at Duke today who praise her every move as she maneuvers through state politics. “It is obvious that Dole is a natural leader because of her early leadership positions here at Duke,” said sophomore Mary Elligon Baars, president and founder of Duke Students forDole. Perhaps even more indicative ofher leadership was the fact that after she left Duke, she pursued a law degree at Harvard Law School, where the overwhelmingly male student body questioned why she was there. Later, she upstaged them with a poSee DOLE on page 12

Although there is no direct connection between the nerves of separate nostrils, research at the University of California at Berkeley suggests that the olfactory center in the brain shares information from both nostrils when learning a new scent.

After three weeks, scent detection in the unexposed nostril was found to be as improved as the exposed nostril, indicating the olfactory nerve centers do not act as disparately as once thought.

DUMC starts web-based ethics training By JACQUELINE FOSTER The Chronicle

As a cutting-edge field like genetics evolves, new ethical issues and guidelines to deal with them arise constantly. But soon, Medical Center researchers and officials may be able to learn all the most recent research regulations online. The Medical Center received a $597,000 federal grant to develop a web-based ethics training program. The program will help keep medical investigators and Institutional Review Board members, who oversee whether Medical Center research—particularly on human subjects—is conducted ethically, up to date with ethics regulations. In response to the frequently changing ethical guidelines, the School of Medicine began making research ethics training mandatory for IRB members and investigators in 1999. The new program, Accessible Genetics Research Ethics Education, aims to make acquiring that training more convenient. AGREE is based on a proposal by Dr. Jeremy Sugarman, director of the Center for the Study of Medical Ethics and Humanities. “AGREE is an extension of existing ethics training,” said Linda Lee, associate director of the Clinical Research Training Program who is working on needs assessment and program evaluation for AGREE. “AGREE will meet the needs of anyone who is involved in genetic research including clinicians, physicians and Ph.D. investigators,” Lee

explained. Online modules that specialize in ethics training are already available for use, but AGREE will expand the variety of topics currently available, officials said. “AGREE is much more focused on genetics research,” said Dr. John Falletta, senior IRB chair and professor of pediatrics.

named suspect in the Oct. 12 bombing based on witness testimony. “He is the one who assembled and placed the bomb,” said Pastika, who heads the investigation. The suspect is Indonesian and is being sought by police, he said, offering no other details. Pastika’s statement was the first indication that the probe into the bombings was moving forward. Until now, investigators have stressed they had no suspects in the case. Meanwhile, police said Tuesday it could be days before they can question Abu Bakar Bashir, an ailing Muslim cleric who is suspected of being the spiritual leader of a regional terrorist network that has been blamed for the

bombings. Doctors said Bashir, who is now in a police hospital in Jakarta, needed up to

four more days rest. Detectives plan to interrogate Bashir

the al Qaeda network. Bashir is not officially a suspect in the Bah bombing, but has been charged with ordering a string of church bombings in 2000 that killed 19 people and with allegedly plotting the assassination ofPresident Megawati Sukarnoputri. Meanwhile, Megawati visited the site of the Bali bombings Tuesday for a second time and met with police to discuss the investigation.

Security forces said they are searching for Jemaah Islamiyah’s fugitive op-

erational commander Riduan Isamuddin, known as Hambali, who is believed to be hiding in another country, possibly the Philippines. Bashir’s lawyers acknowledged that their client had known Hambali during his exile in Malaysia from 1985 to 1999. They said Bashir believed Hambali was a businessperson who sold Islamic prayer rugs. “Bashir told us he hasn’t had any contact with Hambali since returning to Indonesia in 1999,” said Mohamad Mahendradatta, one of the cleric’s attorSee BALI on page 9

ISRAEL from page 2 without specifying the girl’s age. Another girl was critically wounded and four other people were injured before the gunman was killed. The killing illustrated once again how explosive the issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank remains. Sharon has shown broad support for the settlements. A vote on the 2003 budget is scheduled for Wednesday morning, and Sharon promised to dismiss from the government any member who opposes it. Labor representatives spoke of resigning just before the vote. As the Israeli government teetered, Yasser Arafat, who in more than three decades as Palestinian leader has seen Israeli Cabinets and prime ministers come and go, blunted reformers’ demands, at least for now. He gained sup-

port Tuesday for a new government that closely resembled his old one. Sharon said he would govern without Labor, with a narrower coalition. If he is unable to sustain that government, which would inevitably be more rightwing, elections to form a new one would likely be held within 90 days. Labor ministers said that Sharon’s budget priorities were scrambled, favoring settlers over pensioners. “We can’t accept that there is one sector in Israeli society —and I mean the settlers—who are exempted from shouldering the burden,” said Ephraim Sneh, the minister of transportation. He added: “We don’t underestimate the importance of our participation in the Cabinet, but it can’t be at all costs.” Natan Sharansky, the housing minister and leader of a small, right-leaning faction, dismissed Sneh’s claims about settler favoritism. Needy settlers faced the same cuts in mortgage subsidies as

Khatami underscored that only the people of Iraq had the right to decide its form of government. “The fact that Washington is ready to put a new government in place—would the people of the United States allow the Saddam regime to install a new government in the United States?” he asked.

users of AGREE. Once program development is complete, the online programs will be accessible only to members of the Duke

A wide range of people are contributing to the development of the program. “An expert advisory panel helped to identify content areas and pinpoint cutting-edge issues,” Lee said. The panel is composed of 14 Duke faculty members with areas of specialty ranging from philosophy to human genetics to family medicine. “We need diversity,” Sugarman said. “The diverse faculty reflect the range of people who play a role [in the development of the program].” Falletta indicated the program will be helpful to researchers. “AGREE will provide one more source of information for IRB members, investiga-

tors, and their key personnel,” he

neys. “He doesn’t know anything about Hambali’s connection to terrorism.” Police doctors examined Bashir Tuesday at the hospital in East Jakarta. They said the 64-year-old cleric’s heart condition made it impossible for him to be questioned immediately. “Based on his condition, doctors concluded that he needs two to four days of treatment and rest,” police Brig. Gen. Basir Ahmad Barmawi said. “Whether he would be transferred to the police headquarters or not depends on the state ofhis health.” Jemaah Islamiyah is thought to operate cells across the region and has been tied to several plots and attacks over the last two years, including a foiled plan to bomb the US., British, Australian and Israeli embassies in Singapore. Intelligence agencies say Hambali built the organization in al Qaeda’s image. According to a US.-Australian report prepared

Liu said the proposed alcohol-free evening would allow members to get to know freshmen better. “Since one of the earlier events will be a dry event, brothers will really get to know members, and there won’t be a problem of not remembering things because they were intoxicated,” he said. Fraternity members agree the event will make potential members feel welcome if they do not drink. “They want to at least make a statement that every event doesn’t have to be [about] alcohol,” said senior Matt Baldwin, rush chair of Delta Kappa Epsilon. Morgan added there will be a new online component to recruitment, through which potential members will provide basic information and their preferred fraternities. “[Online sign-ups] make IFC record-keeping easier and lets the chapters know who’s interested in them before rushing even starts,” he said. Liu said online sign-ups will place all potential members on the same database, which will contain correct, readily available information. “In the past, things haven’t been as organized as we wanted them to be,” he said. Baldwin said the revamped recruitment process should prevent potential members from falling through the cracks, as an inclusive list of all potential members will be available. Eliminated students will still be on this list and other fraternities can take a look at them if they need more members to fill their quota. “The whole goal of this year is to attract more people to the rush process,” Baldwin said.

for the United Nations, Hambali was a close associate of Ramzi Yousef, now imprisoned in the United States for his involvement in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. Hambali and Yousef reportedly collaborated in an unsuccessful plot two years later to blow up 12 airliners flying from Asia to the United States. In contrast, Bashir has operated openly in Indonesia since returning from exile in the late 19905. He heads the Indonesia Mujahideen Council, a small educational and religious organization. Bashir was detained by police Monday and transferred from his hometown ofSolo to Jakarta. He had been hospitalized due to a respiratory ailment. Bashir denies that he has any links to terrorists. He also denies that the organization Jemaah Islamiyah even exists. Bashir’s arrest followed the questioning of Omar al-Faruq, an al Qaeda operative taken into custody by Indonesia and turned over to the United States in June. Al-Faruq allegedly implicated Bashir in the church bombings and the assassination plot.

Four Duke players recorded doubledoubles. Aside from Gilman, Sonne totaled 16 kills and 12 digs, Sarah Salem notched 15 kills and 10 digs and sophomore setter Stephanie Istvan rounded out the group with 47 assists and 13 digs. “Stephanie played extremely well,” Nagel said. The Blue Devils, who already deci-

contributed off the bench in the first five games of the season in 2000 before earning his first start against Florida State. Zielinski was unable to appreciate his accomplishment for long, with disaster striking against the Seminoles. Zielinski tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the game, leaving him injured for the rest of the season. Once again, Zielinski showed that he was a fighter when dealing with adversity. He rigorously rehabilitated his knee, and now the joint is stronger than before the injury. “The surgery is a thing of the past,” Zielinski said. “One of the toughest things that people go through with knee surgery is realizing that you can’t do anything about it. All you can do is get

mated the Cavaliers 3-0 in Cameron

Indoor Stadium earlier in the season proved once again that they can be a team to reckon with in the ACC. In addition to holding a .344-. 156 edge in hitting percentage, Duke also led in kills (73-57) and digs (81-57). Duke completed its categorical dominance with a 10-8 advantage in blocks. “We played hard and earned some respect,” said Nagel. Junior outside hitter Paige Davis

recorded her 10th double-double of the season with 11 kills and a teamhigh 14 digs. Krista Dill, who was named the ACC volleyball player ofthe week last Monday, was more than effective up front. The 6-foot-3 junior added a match-high .435 hitting percentage to her 12 kills in the contest. Duke faces Maryland Sunday in its third consecutive away match. “I haven’t really begun to think about the next game yet,” Nagel said.

back and that is what I did.” Coming back with a vengeance, Zielinski started the final nine games of the 2001 season and was rewarded with the CoOutstanding Defensive Lineman Award. Despite the individual accolades, Zielinski was not happy, citing disappointment with the team’s failing to win a single game in back-to-back seasons. “Last year I had some post-season honors, but you’d give that up for wins,” he said. “Those are just stats. I’m the kind of guy who would rather have wins than stats.” Zielinski is proud of his team’s two wins this year, but still expects more. “We got two under our belt, but it would be great to finish with five,” he said about the final three games of this season. “That’s going to be huge going into winter conditioning.” Zielinski will be trying his best as always to stymie Clemson next week, with head coach Carl Franks saying that Zielinski biggest contribution to the team is his ability to tackle. “The biggest difference is that we’re in position to tackle better than we’ve ever been,” Franks said. “We’re in position to make those tackles, and we’re wrapping up and making them because we have more speed on the field, and we have better athletes.”

Letters to the editor

Many prereqs for econ courses are unnecessary

Nan’s bully pulpit Every

now and then a university community needs to be reminded

ofits mission. That is, not just the specific goals of educating the population and advancing knowledge through research, but the broader idea of contributing to society’s values. And so President Nan Keohane’s use of her annual faculty address to discuss universities’ moral authority was a welcome reminder of how Duke can make a difference in society. As institutions with vast intellectual resources, universities can and should exercise their clout when they see fit. As Duke’s highest spokesperson, Keohane has cautiously and judiciously exercised the University’s moral authority. Her stances on major issues in higher education have drawn far less notice than those of, for example, Harvard University President Lawrence Summers or Yale University President Richard Levin. But that has not always been because Keohane declines to speak out; rather, her stances on issues such as collegiate athletics or early admission have just been less radical. Regardless of whether one agrees with her, Keohane can boast of principled stances on gun control, sweatshop labor issues, gay and lesbian marriages in the Chapel and the status of women at Duke. For whatever reason, these stances have been few and far between. Some have suggested that, for example, in 1993 when Keohahe become only the second woman to head a major research university, her gender prevented her from discussing women’s status. The Campaign for Duke, now approaching $2 billion after about six years, surely prevented Keohane from spending time on uses ofDuke’s moral authority. With the fundraising effort in the home stretch, Keohane’s speech to the Academic Council is an encouraging sign that perhaps she is focusing more on speaking out about specific policies. It was perhaps fitting that Keohane chose to discuss universities’ moral authority before the Academic Council on its 40th anniversary. Although many professors generously serve on University and faculty committees, overall faculty involvement in campus dialogue remains shockingly low. The last few years have been marked by issues fundamental to Duke’s identity and to higher education in general—intellectual life on campus, the relationship between academics and athletics and races relations, to name just a few. Some professors have spoken out, and even a few council meetings have been devoted to these issues, but the faculty has been largely absent from involved, substantive debate. Whether or not the president intended her speech as a wake-up call to professors, the faculty should assume a more prominent role in campus issues In a broader sense, the president’s speech should remind all community members about the ability of a university to guide discussion. Keohane set an example for members of the Duke community to reflect on their values and speak out when necessary.

Williams’ actions in alleged rape remain mysterious that

This past weekend I had the opportunity to introduce my parents to the Cameron atmosphere at the annual Blue-White Scrimmage. As the freshman basketball players were introduced I could not help but ask myself: Did Shelden Williams take part in the gang-rape of a 19-year-old Ohio woman? The bottom line is that I do not know the answer and it bothers the hell out of me.

Williams, DeAngelo Alexander and several other prominent high school players allegations. denied the Williams told The Chronicle last year that “we were in our room, getting ready to go to bed, and someone came in, and things got out of hand, and then coach came in and

broke it up.” The woman eventually decided not to pursue charges but told WBNSTV that “they know exactly what they did, and have to live with that.” The alleged rape occurred at roughly the same time that a freshman was allegedly assaulted on East Campus. The event sent a shock through the student body that has only been elevated with the recent assault of a sophomore Wannamaker in Dormitory. These two events have shaken the illusion of security for women at Duke and initiated a set of institutional changes. It would seem that in the case of Williams, we are content to let the issue slide under the rug. I do not accuse Williams of anything

because I strongly believe

everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Nor will I make any assumptions about the privileges afforded to the athletes in a basketball program that makes all other Duke

sports possible. I only state that the Duke community does not know what transpired in that Ohio hotel room. If the administration and basketball program wish to retain their integrity and commitment to uncompromised standards of excellence, they should attempt to answer the question that I pray is on every student and faculty member’s lips when basketball season begins.

U.S. drug policy hurts everyone for no good reason Matthew Tolnick makes a strong case for drug policy reform in his letter to the editor on the Duke chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy. It’s worth noting that the various countries listed by Tolnick as having abandoned the zero-tolerance drug war have lower rates of drug use. The University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future Study reports that lifetime use of marijuana is higher in the United States than in any European country, yet America is one of the few Western countries that uses its criminal justice systern to punish citizens who prefer marijuana to martinis. Unlike alcohol, marijuana has never been shown to Http:!

Double-sided printing could save valuable paper Much ofthe waste generated on Duke’s campus doesn’t make economic or environmental sense. The best example is printing on public clusters, especially Ereserves* The percentage that is actually read in time for class aside, they take up a huge amount of paper. Based on an article in The Chronicle on Sept. 20, 2001, “Duke students are printing an average of 80,000 to 105,000 pages per week in Perkins Library and

Lilly Library alone, contributing to a total 6.25 million printed pages each year in the Office of Information Technology’s clusters.” The

article said that OIT had decided not to purchase double-sided capable printers, which clearly could reduce the paper usage to almost half, on the grounds that they were expensive and easily jammed.

Maybe so, but now that we have 4 of them in the Perkins lab, this capability

Http:! archives.chronicle.duke.edu /story.php?article_id=23494 /

has not been announced. It’s as easy as clicking the “Layout” tab on the Macs or the “Properties” button on the PCs within the printing menu, and it’s just as fast. So next time you are in the Perkins lab and are printing something that doesn’t need to be one-sided, remember to use this new feature in order to save paper and money.

Commentary

The Chronicle

A random column 3:35 a.m. and still no column Ideas splash around in this stagnant, gray, mushy soup that I like to call my brain, and I am woozy from the unorthodox cold remedy of Advil and Dr. Pepper. Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time: Advil to stop the sniffling, caffeine to keep me up. Surfing the web for an hour and a half has provided me with dry contacts, a nauseating headache, 15 million pop-up ads, but unfortunately no inspiration. And on top of it all, got another midterm this coming week, screaming toward me like a 96 mph fastball. v Speaking of which—l told myself I ■ wouldn’t do this, but I just can’t resist how about them Angels? You have to mBSEL love the Angels. A team of no-name, nolasen nonsense,'workmanlike players, powert . ing past the perennial champion Yankees, rolling through the media- Aim Low, Hit Low anointed Cinderella-story Minnesota Twins, and now finally showing up Mr. Bonds and his much acclaimed “Homerun Strut”? Simply incredible. Makes me fall in love with sports all over again. Perhaps I will write a column about the Angels. About how they never lost faith in the team, or each other, working past the worst start in franchise history to win the World Series; about their starting shortstop, David Eckstein, the shortest man in major league baseball, overcoming his vertically challenged genes to help this team take home the big prize; about their core of relief pitchers, none of whom any of the other teams wanted; about their never-say-die, one-game-at-a-time attitude and how it can be implemented in our own daily fives. I could write pages about the unabashed ecstasy and elation that was expressed by grown men on the field after the last out, and how I wished in the future I find myself in a profession that provides me with that much joy. Paragraphs would be dedicated to explaining how the Angels, with their relentless effort, all-for-one one-for-all mentality, and noble humility exemplify what is still right in today’s world of sports. Or maybe I should write about the news story I read On http://modelminority.com, about the murder of 31year old Lifi Wang earlier this month, a graduate student just down the highway at North Carolina State University. I could talk about how many AsianAmericans are pushing to label the tragic event a hate crime, her Caucasian killer having admitted an infatuation for Asian women; about how it confuses me why The Chronicle never published a story about the event, about how the media has decided not to pursue the racial motivations behind this particular story and about how I actually find nothing wrong with that. Perhaps I could write that I find it appalling that there are those who are so wrapped up in proclaiming this a hate crime, they have forgotten that a woman’s fife has been prematurely ended; that while I am as progressive as the next Asian-American Duke student (which, granted, isn’t saying much), I find it sad to see activists using a case as weak as this one to promote their cause. I could cite the number of petitions that have been drawn up to force the recognition ofthis incident as a hate crime, and how while I find it promising that a proactive stance has been taken by the Asian-American community in this case, I believe their energy and focus to be misplaced. Searching online newspaper publications for more information on the Wang case gives a few more leads, and a hundred more links to information about the arrest of John Allen Muhammad, the man supposedly responsible for the unjustifiable murder of 10 civilians this past month. I write “supposedly” because a smidge of distrust of the FBI, and the government in general, forces me to question whether Muhammad has been made into a convenient scapegoat, while the true sniper continues to five freely. Maybe I will dedicate a column discussing this general suspicion, and how I hold LA Confidential, Enron, former president Bill Clinton and the numerous blunders of the FBI itself responsible. 4:22 a.m. It seems only me, my computer, and the owl hooting outside my third-floor window are still up and running on this night. I didn’tknow there were owls in North Carolina. Perhaps I will write about owls. But then, that would require some knowledge ofowls. And besides, honestly, how random would that col—

Dialogue, on stage and off “Cloud 9 includes and provokes dialogue about sex, gender, and race.” That’s on the poster for Cloud 9, the Duke Theater Studies

Department’s fall show. I’m in it. The disclaimer is just general enough to keep from scaring

fl fl

y PO u an Vl' Valerio

The F Word patrons, while serving as a warning for those who might have brought their parents, but I think a simple “This show includes lots of screwing” would have been just as effective. My mother and 12-year-old sister drove down for opening night. I invited professors. I didn’t consider that I was performing in such a controversial show until a few weeks before opening, when in an interview I was asked about my qualms with the material.

Although my immediate response was that I was of course fine with it, how silly to even ask, I began to consider the implications of my characters, and what a viewer less entrenched in the ideas behind the show than I would think. In the first act, I play a nine-year-old boy molested by a family friend (and enjoying it) in British colonial Africa, and in the second, a late-50s woman, recently single, who has a monologue late in the show about rediscovering the joys of masturbation. To me, these characters make sense—l allow them to inhabit my skin, after all. Rehearsals became nervewracking, especially when we moved into Reynolds Theater, our performance space, which seats

600. Sitting on my cube, preparing my monologue, I would look into a sea of empty seats, imagine faces there, and rub my palms together

to counteract the cold sweats. I got over it during tech week, when our stage manager turned off the house lights, and forgetting the audience seemed plausible. We began getting into our costumes, putting on our characters and things on stage began to click—seven weeks and hundreds of hours of preparation finally showing their effects. The audience response I felt was positive, with laughs and uneasy shifts in the seat in all the

right places, although I was later told that some parents left the the-

ater mid-scene. Cloud 9 is not an easy play. It asks its audience not only to accept its characters and sometimes outrageous behavior, but also to accept after intermission what seems like an entirely new play. It asks of its actors not only two parts and an enormous donation of energy, but an unusual understanding and thought about its issues. Although our poster says Cloud 9 “includes and provokes dialogue,” that buzzword that scares so many of us and makes us avert our eyes from the chalk on the BC Walkway, does the play really do that? It includes the dialogue, sure, but I’ve yet to have someone ask me how we reconciled that the show includes molestation, adultery and cruising without apology. Although some of my friends admitted to being uncomfortable, no one has really said why. I feel

like we’re both desensitized and repressed, feeling more comfort-

able than we should, but unable to

discuss our existing qualms. One of the reasons I tried out for the show, besides challenging myself as actor, was that the is and script provocative unabashedly open. I wanted to hear people gasp, seats creak and a huge silence at the end of the show (followed, of course, by thunderous applause). Fm not sure if I should be glad that our reception has been so positive. Fm happy to get the praise, but I wonder: If not even bisexual incest (although there’s argument among the cast about whether it’s “real” incest—see, dialogue!) can cause an audience to gasp, what can? Our director described seeing Cloud 9 in 1981 and his amazement at its sheer newness—these were things that had never before been discussed on stage. That’s not true any more, but they’re still things not often discussed in life. How else can we get people talking? Opening night, I left the theater and met my mom and little sister in

the lobby. “How’d you like it?” I asked, not sure of what they’d say. Mom said I was very good. My sister had fallen asleep in the second act, and Mom decided not to wake her up. Although part of me feels like it should be indignant, I feel like it’s just as well. Meghan Valerio is a Trinity junior and arts editor ofRecess. Her column appears every third Wednesday.

Make a stand or free speech Two weeks ago, Duke police expelled two religious demonstrators from the Chapel Quad for “speaking loudly”, “upsetting the passers-by”, and for violating the

dents, as citizens and as thinkers—to express the ideas that we think are important, and to defend the right of others to do the same.

University’s “no solicitation policy.” The odds are fairly good that you disagreed with their message, which condemned a litany of behaviors and religious groups. You should, however, have also disagreed with their expulsion. Duke probably had the right to Kussell remove the men, since the University is action private property. However, the Williams clearly demonstrates content-based dis- Stark Raving Sane crimination, since protests on all sorts of subjects are routinely held on the quad, involving speaking loudly and quite possibly upsetting passers-by, which are not dispersed as being solicitation. This event demonstrated a willingness to silence unpopular ideas that is shameful for a university like Duke, which should strive to be a marketplace of ideas and an open forum for discussion. This action should not only anger students, but make them wary, because it poses the haunting question: What happens if your opinions are deemed to

We may shy away from voicing unpopular opinions, or allowing them to be voiced, because of the fear of creating an uproar. After all, that was demonstrators’ primary offense, as cited by the police. But we should never hesitate to cause an uproar, or be part of one, because uproar is the sound of passionate debate. As long as we demand truth and not silence from our opposition, debate is being fueled and ideas are being forged. A community as diverse as Duke should be in a nearly constant state of commotion, as long as everyone’s ideas are allowed to be expressed. A sincere commitment to diversity demands a passionate defense of free speech. How can we pretend to value a variety ofopinions from different cultures if we don’t allow some ideas to even be spoken? Free speech enables diversity to exist, as it allows the exchange of ideas that makes diversity valuable. A commitment to diversity which does not include the protection of all expression becomes nothing more than an excuse to advance a specific political agenda, as authority figures decide which cultures get semi-annual shows in Page Auditorium and which are escorted off campus by

Maybe it’s too much to ask that Duke students make a stand for diversity and open debate while being told that they’re bound for eternal damnation. It’s certainly too late to change the outcome of this event, in which the desire for comfortable silence trumped the duty to allow open public discussion. I will ask, though, that you learn something from those fanatics. Imagine the courage it takes to publicly express ideas that will get you escorted from campus by the police. Figure out whether you have it. This incident proves that if your ideas are unpopular enough you might need it.
