Service honors benefactor’s life � Community members will gather at 1 p.m. in the Chapel to remember the contributions of Edmund Pratt, engineering school benefactor. By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

Two months after his death, the University community will gather this afternoon to celebrate the life of Edmund Pratt, Engineering ’47. A memorial ceremony, which will take place in the Chapel at 1 p.m., was a final wish of Pratt, the engineering school’s namesake and the former chair and CEO of Pfizer Inc., said Dean of the Pratt School of Engineering Kristina Johnson. Johnson, President Nan Keohane, Board of Trustee member Peter Nicholas and Pratt senior Kyle Smith will speak in honor of Pratt, who died Sept. 5 at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. “It’s appropriate that it is in the Chapel that he loved so much Johnson said. “When he first came to Duke, he said he looked up at the Chapel and literally thought he’d gone to heaven The entire University and Durham community is invited to celebrate the life of the man who in 1999 gave $35 million to the School of Engineering—one of the largest gifts in the University’s history, second only to Duke’s 1924 $4O million gift that would be worth about $4BO million today. “I hope the whole community comes, because he served not just the School ofEngineering but the University as a whole,” Johnson said. “He really wanted to make people happy, and he helped Duke grow.” The University regularly holds similar ceremonies for particularly distinguished alumni, trustees or ”

Men’s soccer hosts No. 1 Wake By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

Edgar Allen Poe himself could not have thought up a better story line for Halloween weekend: Demon Deacons vs. Blue Devils. The tell-tale signs all point to a memorable contest, as undefeated Wake Forest (11-0-4, 3-02 in the ACC) comes into the contest with a lofty No. 1 national ranking. Duke has already recorded two conference upsets this season in front of raucous home crowds, over then-No. 2 Clemson and North Carolina. The support will be imperative once again if Duke is to upset its intrastate rivals and roll into the postseason with plenty of momentum. The game has huge implications for both squads, as a win would ensure at least a share of the ACC title for either team. A Duke victory coupled with a Maryland loss to Virginia would make the Blue Devils (10-5-1, 3-2) the co-conference champs. And if Virginia wins and Duke loses, the Demon Deacons will own the title outright “It’s a very big game,” co-captain Scott Noble said. “It’s a big time position for the ACC tournament in a couple weeks, and then confidence, as well, going into the post season.” Duke has been playing some of its best soccer incirip (nsiue

as of late, despite splitting a pair of games this past weekend. This can be attributed to improved team health and an acclimation to a new defensive scheme. Adam Guren and Matt Ahumada have spearheaded the defensive efforts all year, and will be pivotal Friday against a Wake Forest offense that scored a whopping 10 goals in its most recent game. The Demon Deacons’ biggest threat, All-American Jeremiah White, has a modest seven goals and three assists in 2002. “The way we’re going to approach it is that just make sure they don’t get any balls through, or anything over the top, because the guy [White] is real quick, he’s a fast player, he likes to run onto the ball,” Guren said. “I think the way we’ll set up is play more defensively we’ll just play deeper so there won’t be any easy balls through. There’s not going to be a lot of space behind us, so just keep him in front of us.” Wake Forest’s attack is similar to that of North Carolina, who Duke beat earlier this season at Koskinen Stadium, .Against the Tar Heels,, defender Mark Mattem led a flawless defensive effort as Duke successfully shat down, Ndrih Carolina’s quick offensive players,.

Former Enron executive charged Counts involve wire transfers totaling $4 million, obstruction of justice By MARY FLOOD and MICHAEL HEDGES Houston Chronicle

HOUSTON Andrew Fastow, who prosecutors say enriched himself while devising the schemes that obscured Enron’s shaky finances, was indicted Thursday on 78 counts of fraud, money laundering and other felonies. The indictment echoed the broader charges originally filed against Fastow Oct. 2, but added one count of obstruction of justice. “We will use every appropriate measure to recover the ill-gotten gains of these corporate schemers. Justice demands it,” said Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, head of President George W. Bush’s

Corporate Fraud Task Force. But Fastow’s lead attorney, San Francisco-based John Keker, countered, “These charges are full ofsound and fury, but the truth about Enron has yet to be told. When that truth is told to a jury of 12 honest Americans Andy Fastow will be set free.” Fastow was not in court Thursday, but is scheduled to appear Wednesday and enter a plea, most likely of not guilty. His case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt. Enron Task Force prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said Thursday that Fastow is still not cooperating with the investigation, but suggested that could change when he weighs the details ofthe indictment and a possible

lengthy prison term. Legal experts have said Fastow’s biggest incentive to cooperate would be the possible involvement of his wife, Lea, who received some of . the funds prosecutors have said are proceeds of criminal acts. Also, she cannot claim to lack financial expertise because she earned an MBA at Northwestern University and rose to become assistant treasurer at Enron before departing in 1997. The new charge of obstruction of justice is an allegation that Fastow sought to cover up Enron-related crimes beginning in August of 2001, before the full extent of the company’s problems were widely known.

Earthquake in south Italy kills at least 15 The yellow schoolhouse in San Giuliano di Puglia collapsed entirely on itself, as 56 children and their teach-

By PETER MAYER The Associated Press

SAN GIULIANO DI PUGLIA, Italy An earthquake jolted south-central Italy Thursday, sending a nursery school roof crashing down on a class of preschoolers during a lunchtime Halloween party. At least 13 children in the school and two women in nearby homes were killed. Driven on by faint voices coming from the rubble, frantic rescuers worked into the night to save more than a dozen children who remained trapped after the 5.4 magnitude quake struck the Molise region, shaking the town of Campobasso and surrounding villages northeast ofNaples. San Giuliano di Puglia, a village of 1,195 people, was the hardest hit, with several buildings damaged. The ANSA news agency said 3,000 people in the region were left homeless, unable or unwilling to sleep in their damaged homes.

ers celebrated Halloween.

Anguished parents kept a vigil outside the wreckage, bundled in blankets to guard against the evening chill, with temperatures around 52 degrees. So far, 26 children and three teachers have been rescued. Italian news reports said more than a dozen children and one adult remained in the rubble 12 hours after the quake struck. The bodies of 13 children and two adults were being housed in a makeshift morgue at the town’s sports center, where family members came to identify the dead, officials outside the center said.

Virus messages grow in number � Led by an increase in the Klez vims, which hides itself from infected computers, more e-mail users find their inboxes clogged. By LAUREN SALISBURY The Chronicle

If ‘checking your e-mail’ has become a euphemism for ‘deleting virus warnings,’ you’re not alone—Duke students, faculty members and staff may receive as

many as 20 virus warnings a day. Office of Information Technology officials report that the number ofinfected e-mail messages has doubled in the past six months, mostly due to a worm known as the Klez virus. Currently, about 4 percent of the messages received each day by OIT are infected. Students said they have noticed the increase this

semester. “I get impatient because I don’t remember getting any last year,” said sophomore Mimi Wachendorf. “I’m not sure if the number of viruses has really increased, or if they’re just sending out more warnings.” Chris Cramer, an OIT security officer, said specific statistics of earlier viral traffic are hard to come by because OIT began scanning messages only about a year and a half ago. He said, though, that there has been a recent increase in the number ofboth viruses and warnings. Klez forges a sender’s e-mail address, making it

impossible to determine the true host of the infected mail, explained Rob Carter, director of systems administration at OIT. This defeats the purpose ofsending a virus notification to the alleged host and causes confusion about whose computer is actually infected. A student may not realize that his computer is infected, which allows Klez more time to spread the virus to more computers—hence the large increase in virus warnings. Because of the confusion resulting from forged sender addresses, OIT stopped sending Klez-related messages to potential hosts about a month ago; as of Oct. 25, warning messages to recipients were halted as well. “[Vims warnings] were prominent at the beginning ofthe year, but have definitely tapered off” said junior Jessica Vorys. Despite the reduction, Vorys said she feels her inbox is still bombarded and deSee VIRUSES on page 10

Other residents said they find the seminar rooms less attractive for studying for a variety of reasons. Some students said, for example, that the rooms are not as comfortable as the commons rooms and are more isolating than the library. “I think that people would rather use the commons room to do work, assuming that the commons room is quiet,” said senior Victor Mangona, who serves as a resident advisor in the WEL. “If somebody would rather have it be See SEMINAR ROOMS on page 8

Patrons bemoan temporary Sanford deli changes By KELLY ROHRS The Chronicle

The Sanford Deli, historically lauded as one of the best eateries on campus, has undergone temporary changes this year that have left many patrons less than satisfied. The menu has been simplified from last year’s and the sandwiches are now pre-made. The current menu features basic grilled sandwiches and a special that changes weekly. All the ingredients are the same as in the past, but the sandwiches are made in the morning rather than on demand. “We’re making them as close to lunchtime as possible,” said Denise McMahon, co-owner of the deli. “This is to make things go quicker.” A npmber of customers have expressed disappointment with the changes. “I seriously spent so much money there last year,” junior Jessica Wolf said. “I don’t like the stuff they have now. It’s plain.” Peter Jannuzzi, a sophomore and Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee representative, said DUSDAC is working with the deli but that the changes have not been a major cause for concern because the food quality is still high. “The sandwiches I’ve had this year have been good,” he said. “They’re just not the same as they were

last year.” In past years, the deli featured specialty items such as the Far East Chicken Wrap and the Southwestern Turkey Wrap, in addition to traditional delistyle sandwiches. Customers had a choice of foccacia bread, roll or wrap, but foccacia bread is no longer available. The changes to the deli were necessary because the crowds at lunch were too large for the space available. “We must be one of the smallest facilities on campus,” McMahon said. “The constraints of the space were far too great for what we were trying to do. We weren’t operating in an efficient way.” Over 600 patrons ate there per day last year, and

But the deli was never designed to serve the volume of people it did, said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services. Planners intended the space to be a sandwich bar, and it is ill-equipped for individual sandwich preparation and cooking. Deli renovations are planned for next summer. McMahon and her husband, co-owner Chris McMahon, approached Dining Services last year petitioning for more space so the deli could continue to offer its full menu. “I’m planning on putting $90,000 into this to really ramp up what [McMahon] is capable of doing,” Wul-

forst said. The renovated deli will be slightly larger, but most of the changes are aimed at increasing the efficiency of the space. McMahon hopes the deli will be able to offer madeto-order sandwiches again. She stressed that this year’s changes are temporary as she and her husband try to improve their product and their operation. Wulforst attributed the success of the deli to McMahon’s culinary talent and skill. “Denise [McMahon] came in there with her personality and drive and tripled the revenue,” Wulforst said. “[Her management] has been one of our home runs from the get go.”

From staff and wire reports

Officials say bad marriages caused military slayings Law enforcement officers and military officials said the four domestic homicides at Fort Bragg this summer were due mainly to bad marital relationships.

This conclusion came after Pentagon sources said the malaria drug Lariam—which some of the soldiers who committed the murders had taken while in Afghanistan—played no part in the slayings. “The only link we can see is these people had really bad marital problems,” said Lt. Sam Pennica, the chief detective with Cumberland County Sheriffs Office. The Army is preparing to release its findings after an epidemiological probe, which is investigating medical aspects of the slayings. The report is expected to be release within the next 10 days. Congress has taken measures to combat domestic violence in military families, authorizing $5 million for support programs as part of the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill.

plead Forest guilty to animal neglect

More than 20 Wake Forest University fraternity members pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of animal neglect after a 200-pound pig was found sunburned, dehydrated and reeking of alcohol in a ditch after a party at a picnic shelter. Twenty-one students, all members of Sigma Phi Epsilon, agreed to several conditions in a deal with prosecutors that will allow them to avoid criminal convictions. They will perform 50 hours of community service at the Forsyth County Animal Shelter, write a 10-page essay on animal cruelty, and attend a meeting to discuss responsible animal care with university community members. “This was a stupid, unthinking act, but I don’t think there was any intention of cruelty,” said Tom Keith, the Forsyth County district attorney.

Allegations prompt SEC investigation By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON The Securities and ExCommission ordered an investigation change Thursday into allegations that Chair Harvey Pitt concealed from commissioners information on the corporate ties of William Webster, his choice to head a new accounting oversight board. The disclosure once again thrusts Pitt in the middle of a political maelstrom, even as President George W Bush’s administration seeks to restore investor and consumer confidence in the roller-coaster markets just days before the midterm elections. Publicly, the administration strongly backed Pitt. “Chairman Pitt has done a good job in cracking down on corporate wrongdoing and the SEC has a very strong record under his leadership,” said White House spokesperson Claire Buchan. “We support him.” At the same time, White House spokesperson Scott McClellan acknowledged, “We don’t have all the facts.” SEC spokesperson Christi Harlan said the agency’s inspector general, Walter Stachnik, would conduct the internal investigation. Pitt and other commissioners requested the probe. “This is simply a look at the process and it is not a review of Judge Webster,” Harlan said. SEC spokesperson John Heine insisted it was not an investigation of Pitt either. Neither Pitt nor Webster returned repeatSee SEC on page 10

The course focuses on text analysis of dramatic literature that has been or is likely to be produced on Broadway, in resident theaters in the United States, or on the West End in London. Weekly writing assignments ask students to explore their responses to a range of contemporary dramatic literature. -

Broadway including Children of a Lesser God, Master Harold... and the boys, Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing, A Moon for the Misbegotten, Long Day’s Journey into Night, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, Side Show, O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, Stones in his Pocket, Private Lives, and all of Neil Simon’s plays since 1972 including Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, Broadway Bound, and Lost in Yonkers. His stage productions have earned a total of 118 Tony Award nominations and have won 36 Tony Awards.

“In the study session today, a lot of people knew about it in the WEL,” Mangona said. “Their Mends came along, too, because [the WEL] is central to everybody who lives on West.” While such sessions may become more popular in the seminar rooms, residents said they do not use the rooms regularly. “There is usually either no one in there, or like one person,” said sophomore WEL resident Daniel Thalhammer. “I have never seen it crowded. It is usually

FASTOW from page 2 Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling resigned that month and two months later the SEC announced it would investigate Enron.

The large number of counts “is not unusual at all,” said Philip Hilder, attorney for former Enron executive Sherron Watkins. “Each act, each phone call or mailed letter that prosecutors believe is part of the criminal behavior can be a separate count.” For example, 28 of the counts are tied to wire transfers totaling $4 million from December 1997 to July 2000 into accounts controlled by Fastow through a partnership called RADR. The indictment filed Wednesday charges Fastow with six different crimes: wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud, obstruction of justice, money laundering and money

laundering conspiracy. Money laundering is punishable by 20 years in prison sentence and securities fraud 10 years. The four other crimes generally carry maximum terms of five years each. Legal experts say it is impossible to say what the maximum penalty could be. Though multiplying each of the 78 counts by its potential maximum penalty yields a possible prison term of hundreds of years, sentences usually are not served one after the other. Also, complex guidelines govern the imposition of federal sentences. In early October, the Securities and Exchange Commission also charged Fastow with civil fraud, which is punishable by huge financial penalties and a lifetime ban on serving as an executive with a public company.

The new charge of obstruction of justice is an allegation that Fastow sought to cover up Enron-related crimes beginning in August 2001, before the full extent ofthe company’s problems were widely known. Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling resigned that month and two months later the SEC announced it would investigate Enron. Before the SEC probe began, the indictment says, Fastow tried to get Michael Kopper—his protege and accomplice in some illegal deals—to withhold documents from investigators and “alter, destroy, mutilate and conceal” computers in an effort to wipe out records. “They might be adding that charge as leverage for a potential deal,” said one attorney close to the case, “but since that evidence was going to come out before a trial anyway it just made sense to include it in the indictment.” Kopper pleaded guilty Aug. 21 to fraud charges and has provided testimony against Fastow. The rest ofthe counts are related to partnerships that prosecutors said Fastow and others set up to enrich themselves while defrauding Enron and its investors.

1. 2002 � PAGE 9

Among those are Chewco, RADR and Southampton, as well as a Brazilian power plant project named Cuiba and the “sale” of three power-generating barges in Nigeria, which Enron effected with the help of Merrill Lynch & Co. Fastow is also charged with devising several illicit

deals involving a partnership called LJM. In 1999, Enron’s board approved the LJM partnership as a means of hedging company investments, despite concerns that Fastow’s involvement could create

conflicts of interest. The indictment charges that LJM ultimately became a place to hide Enron losses, permitting the company to hide more than $1 billion in debt. LJM also became away for Fastow, Kopper and others to siphon money from the company to their own pockets, prosecutors charged. In the case of Cuiba, a financially troubled power plant in Brazil in which Enron had a 65 percent stake, Fastow is alleged to have had UM buy an interest with a secret guarantee that the partnership would not lose money on the deal.

Ed calls for comment The accounting oversight board was created in the wake of the scandals that led to the downfall of Enron and other large corporations. Top Democrats, seeking to paint Bush as an ally ofbig business and not corporate responsibility, renewed calls for Pitt’s resignation just 14 months after he took the job. “Mr. Pitt not only deprived his fellow commissioners of vital information about one of the most important appointments they would ever make, he knowingly endorsed a candidate for chair of the accounting oversight board without seriously investigating the matter,” said House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt of Missouri. “I again urge President Bush to ask Harvey Pitt to step aside from his post today,” he said. “President Bush made this unfortunate appointment; he should fire him,” Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said of Pitt. The SEC voted 3-2 along partisan lines last Friday to approve Webster’s appointment as head of the accounting oversight board. The commission’s two Democrats had supported another candidate, pension fund administrator John Biggs;

“That’s what we’re basing the search on. We’re still hearing voices,” Police Col. Antonio lanuzzi said late Thursday. One girl named Lilia told Italian television from her hospital bed, where she had her left hand in a small cast, that the children were drawing Pinocchio pictures

in preparation for their Halloween party, when the quake struck. “I heard [the roof] crumble, and we

screamed,” she said. She said she hadn’t heard news of her friend Melissa. “She wasn’t near me. I didn’t even hear her voice. I don’t know if she’s still alive.” Paramedic Antonio Licursi, covered in dust as he emerged from the pit, said he believed at least another dozen children were still trapped. Tearful parents stood nearby, blocked from the site by a police barrier, sometimes calling out the names of their children.

Others waited at nearby hospitals they believed Biggs would advocate tough regulation of the accounting industry. In an interview with The New York Times, Webster said he told Pitt and Robert Herdman, the SEC’s chief accountant, days before the vote that he had led the auditing committee for U.S. Technologies, a company facing investor lawsuits alleging fraud. “I told them that people are making accusations,” Webster told the newspaper. “I said if this is a problem, then maybe we shouldn’t go forward.” He said Pitt assured him SEC staff had looked into the issue and it would not pose a problem. U.S. Technologies’ former accounting firm, other auditing committee members, company executives and investors told the Times no one at the commission contacted them about Webster’s appointment. Webster said he called Pitt again Monday, three days after he was appointed, saying he had heard over the weekend that the government had begun to investigate possible fraud by U.S. Technologies’ chief executive, Gregory Earls.

Pitt did not tell other commissioners about Monday’s conversation either, SEC officials told the Times. “I think it’s real unfortunate that this was not disclosed prior to the vote,” said Paul Brown, a professor at New York University’s Stem School of Business.

WILLARD from page 1 the National Institute of Health, his goal is certainly possible. From writing a textbook—Genetics in Medicine, now in its sixth edition—to serving as president of the American Society of Human Genetics, Willard has been involved in many aspects of genetic medicine. In 1990, he also co-founded the scientific journal Human Molecular Genetics with a colleague from Oxford University. Dr. John Nilson, professor and chair of the pharmacology department at Case Western Reserve University in the

Cleveland area, has known Willard for 10 years. “He’s always forward thinking. He’s visionary, he has integrity and he’s plain-speaking. He demands excellence and he works hard,” Nilson said, adding

TRIANGL Where Daily

that Willard built a very strong genetics department at the Research Institute and will be hard to replace. Willard’s departure has not gone unnoticed by the greater Cleveland community. In an Oct. 28 editorial, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland noted that by taking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at Duke, Willard would invariably halt some of his Cleveland institute’s momentum. Willard said he enjoyed his tenure in Cleveland but is looking forward to his move to Duke, where he will be recruiting and hiring faculty, working with other leaders to develop new technology and unifying the IGSP’s five research centers and other related departments within the University. “[I will be] helping to build and guide what I expect to be the leading genomics program in the country,” said Willard. He said one of Duke’s attractive fea-

tures was the high academic level of its undergraduates, and hoped to have some connection with both students and faculty from all disciplines. One of his major projects in Cleveland was reconstructing his department’s graduate program, a model he hopes to bring to Duke. Willard spent much time working with the 60 graduate students in his department. “Training students is a favorite thing of mine,” he said. At Duke, Willard—and ten of his fifteen current lab researchers—will also continue pursuing his research interests, which include chromosome inactivation and the development of artificial human chromosomes. His lab in Cleveland was the first to make artificial human chromosomes, something that Willard said could have a great impact in the future with more development. Willard studied biology as an under-

y School

graduate at Harvard University and graduated from Yale University with a doctorate in human genetics. He was a faculty member at Stanford University as well as the University of Toronto. In 1992, he moved to Cleveland to assume the chair of the genetics department at

the Research Institute, where he became director in 2001. Willard’s family will remain in Shaker Heights, Ohio, until next summer. His wife is currently the managing editor of

Human Molecular Genetics and will maintain the position after the move to Durham. They have two children—one is a junior at Washington University in St. Louis, and the other is currently a senior in high school. In his free time, Willard enjoys relaxing with family and playing golf. “It is one of my passions—or addictions—whatever you choose to call it,” he said, laughing.

In these environments, women will have to learn to surmount barriers to success, and both men and women will need to learn how to minimize inequities which interfere with the full utilization of women’s potential. In this course, we will analyze the ways in which gender, class and race condition contemporary business organizations and the roles of men and women within them. During the semester, successful women in business will be featured as guest speakers. Specific objectives of the course include: understanding how race, class and gender intersect in the contemporary business setting; analyzing how the history of women in the workforce has shaped their current opportunities in business; revealing structural mechanisms in business settings which constrain the potential of both men and women; examining why organizations have underutilized women as a management resource; and understanding how to critique current management theory from a feminist

Bowden: It will be hard to take Duke seriously By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

A solid 4-4 Clemson squad with bowl eligibility tantalizingly close rolls into Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday at

noon to face an embattled Duke team coming off its worst performance of the season. Duke, with nothing to play for but stats, pride and next year, will have to raise its level of play to have a chance at victory versus the Tigers. The entire Blue Devil football community remains embarrassed about last week’s error-prone performance. The team lost 45-12 to reigning conference champion Maryland, falling to 2-7 over-

all and 0-5 in the ACC. Without a chance at a bowl, the Blue Devils seem resolved to avenge last week’s poor performance. “I’ve never seen in my three years any quit with any of our players,” sophomore quarterback Adam Smith said. “We are more excited coming off last game. We never want to play like that again.” The week’s practices were in line with Smith’s observation and very intense. Despite rain and cool temperatures at Tuesday’s session, the players were yelling after almost every play trying to

linebacker Ryan Fowler said afterwards. The team is trying to address some of the problems that resulted in last week’s disappointing performance. The defense and special teams are working on improving tackling by focusing on fundamentals. “We are trying to emphasize the importance of everybody doing their assignment,” head coach Carl Franks said. “You are accountable to everybody else on the field.” Like Duke, Clemson is coming off a difficult loss, falling to undefeated NC State 38-6. The Tigers were outplayed all over the field and were disappointed with their effort.

cheered when the special teams executed an onside kick to culminate practice.

After the hype and excitement of last game, head coach Tommy Bowden is worried that the subdued environment of Wallace Wade Stadium could cause his players to lose focus and look beyond the game before they even step on the field. “There probably will be a small crowd relative to what we have seen the last two weeks there and not much noise,” Bowden said. “You have a hard time getting the kids’ attention before the game and getting them to be serious.” Duke has not fared well against Clemson in the Tommy Bowden era, allowing the Tigers to score over 50 points in each of the last three contests.

“UVa has had some lucky games,” Perrier said. “Anything can go in at any time. We will need to play consistent defense.” UVa poses its biggest threat from the cage where Emily White, twice selected as ACC player of the week this season, has notched four shutouts this season. White has been the most dominant and consistent Cavalier throughout the season, playing in 1,184 out of a possible 1,281 minutes while recording a .841 save percentage.

And who was on the other end ofthe 45-point loss? Michael Jordan, who suddenly doesn’t look so old after all. Shaking off a rusty performance that made him look all of his 39 years the night before, Jordan scored 21 points in 21 minutes and ignited a rout with a four-point flourish at the end of the first half as the Washington Wizards beat the Celtics 114-69 Thursday night.

If we can stay healthy tomorrow, I think we have a chance to have a real good defensive effort, which we’re going to need to shut Wake Forest down.” For a team that was picked in the preseason to finish sixth in the conference, the Blue Devils are excited just to be in the hunt for an ACC title.

FRANKLIN STREET. NBA TV should televise Paul Doran and Gabe Githens hanging out with Quentin Richardson and Lamar Odom. Someone needs to make this happen.

Where do I cash in my “Lois & Clark shoot up the standings from fourth to last to third in two weeks” stock? I mean, the only thing less probable than Alex Garinger and Whitney Beckett doing well is Catherine Sullivan in a tie for first. Wait...

I don’t know what to make of Doug Christie sucker-punching Rick Fox. Does Evan Davis now have to trade in his Doug Christie jersey for an Eagles jersey? If I were casting for a remake of The White Shadow, I’d cast Brian Morray as coach Kenny Reeves, because he’s so bad at Grid Picks that the law of averages says he’ll be a decent actor. But The White Shadow is a show that should never be remade. It would be like Slap Shots 11. If there’s less entertaining activity than watching John Bush and Matt Atwood talk about their feelings, please, please tell me. Maybe watching Bush copy edit Nick Christie.

Dia de los Muertos! One of the most distinctive of Mexico’s many holidays is the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Drawing from Aztec and Christian traditions, folk culture, and the enthusiasm of the arts community (Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo were big fans), the Day of the Dead is a time to honor deceased relatives, satirize the living, and entice the spirits to visit with flower-decked altars and offerings of food. Please join us in celebrating this special occasion.

There will be lots of folk art from Mexico on display, sugar skulls, flowers and candles. We’ll offer beverages and “Bread of the Dead” to try. You are welcome to bring a photo or other memento of someone you wish to remember. Families and members of the community are invited to participate in an event that is at once serious and amusing, traditional and creative—a uniquely Mexican contribution to world culture.

GRIDPICKS from page 16 My all-time favorite white athlete has to be Larry Bird. Kevin Lees comes in a close second. Everyone actually got their Grid Picks in on time this week. Stunning. I’m completely speechless.

Can we start getting students to call Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta “L-Mo”? And can we get him on “MTVs Cribs”? I don’t ask for much.

If terrible production quality, bad jokes and weird looking people were what I were after, I’d sit down with Greg Veis and watch Cable 13. But

have my whole-hearted endorsement. I was about to shock my NBA fantasy league draft by picking Moochie Norris in the third round, when Neelum, Jeste walked in and said, “What’s the score?” I hate women. When my ESPN 13 debuts “Sports Reporter 4: Doin’ Durham,” I’m going to have Tyler Rosen talking about how Duke football is turning it around and I’m gonna have Jonathon Angier writing him fat checks to get him to shut up. Mike Corey is going to sit on the side muttering about Ohio State. I still can’t understand why I don’t run a network.

seriously, I’d read Recess.

n *8Hy l( What’s Your Music? New Course for Spring 2003 MUSIC 70: MUSIC, SOUND, AND STYLE For anyone who has wondered how good music really works, this is a class that seeks to unveil the mystery through thoughtful, informed listening. The difference in this class is that any and all music is fair game -from Beethoven to pop. Looking at music of many different styles and eras, students will ask such question as: What makes a good country music performance or a hip hop hit? What is it about the musical structure of a song that takes it to the top of the charts? What are the vocal qualities of an Indian sung voice or a rock ballad? What are the similaritiesand differences between a Rwandan, Swiss and Texan country yodel? Does Mozart groove? •

•

No prior musical training is necessary, just an open mind. The class will be team-taught by Professors Jairo Moreno and Anthony Kelley Tuesday and Thursday 3:50-5:05

Price for Congress Fourth District voters should re-elect incumbent David Price to the U.S. House because of his vast political experience

David

Price, a political science professor on leave from Duke, has served North Carolina’s Fourth District admirably since he was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986, and voters should send him back to Washington for another term in next Tuesday’s election. Price has an abundance of experience as a legislator, but in addition to his practical experience, his background in academia serves him well in the House. Price, one of the most pragmatic, thoughtful and moderate members of the House, has voted with the needs of his constituents over his tenure. Some of Price’s most notable accomplishments in the House is his advocacy for education issues. For example, the Education and Affordability Act, which allows families to deduct interest on student loans and withdraw money for an IRA to pay for college without penalty, helps families from all walks oflife afford an education for their children. Likewise, Price has also worked to improve community colleges and promote increases in federal investment in many types ofresearch. During his campaign, Price continued to push for greater educational reforms, such as providing the funds necessary to hire mihions of additional teachers that the United States will need over the next decade. Price is committed to improving education at all levels, from grammar school through college. In addition to education, Price has worked on issues such as housing, transportation and the environment, addressing issues that are close to the hearts and minds ofthe Triangle’s citizens. For example, Price has said that he wants to create an environment conducive to investment throughout the Research Triangle Park area. Price’s Republican opponent Tuan Nguyen, a 27-year-old flight instructor, lacks the political experience necessary to serve the Triangle well in Congress, especially when compared to a seasoned veteran like Price. While it is admirable that Nguyen would make an effort to run against Price, he simply cannot compete with such a well-respected public servant. And although Nguyen has something of a point when he argues that Washington needs more ordinary citizens, in many cases, career politicians such as Price are those best able to serve their constituents. The libertarian candidate, Ken Nelson, is also a far less viable candidate than Price. The Chronicle formally endorses David Price for Congress from the Fourth District.

New line policies in place for first basketball game Welcome to the beginning of another

exciting

Duke basketball season! The men’s team will square off against Team Nike Monday in Cameron Indoor Stadium at 7:30 p.m., and I want to make sure that everyone is aware of the new admissions procedures that will be in place. Monday’s game will be a walk-up game. As always,

you can begin lining up for the game at the back entrance of Cameron on the sidewalk running in front of Gymnasium Card and Wilson Recreation Center whenever you wish. In order to keep the integrity of lines for walk-up games this year, line monitors will be registering groups of people that are lined up more than three hours prior to the game.

Registered groups may have no more than 12 people and a minimum of 25 percent of a group must be present at all times in order to maintain the group’s place in line. Two hours prior to the game, all individuals in registered groups must be in line so that I can begin admitting people into the stadium. Anyone who chooses to line up within three hours of game time will form a secondary line on the sidewalk running perpendicular to Card Gym toward Towerview Drive. The secondary line will be monitored in the same fashion as walk-up lines last year. Line monitors will be on duty to help settle any disputes that may arise in either line. While this system is slightly more complicated

than in years past, it should provide for a more fair system of getting into the games as well as make it easier to fill up Cameron by the time the team begins warming up for the game. If you have any questions about the procedure, feel free to contact me or see any line monitor that will be on duty near the of student entrance Cameron throughout the day this Monday. It should be an exciting start to the season Monday. Come support the Blue Devils in their first home game of 2002-2003. Let’s go Duke! Jeremy Morgan

Fro-yo eating contest encourages bad diet habits Next week marks the beginning of Sigma Chi’s

Derby Days, a week-long event aimed at promoting involvement to raise money for Sigma Chi’s charity. It promises to be an enjoyable week filled with barbeques, relay races and lip sync contests, yet I find one part of their program objectionable. One of the week-long activities is a contest between sororities to see which can eat the most frozen yogurt. Each time a greek girl buys frozen yogurt from Alpine, she will receive a sticker to place on the point

board next to her sorority’s letters. While I certainly believe that there was no malicious intent in the creation of this contest, I find that a contest to

eat the most frozen yogurt is in some ways a perverse commentary on Duke’s female society. Whether true or not, a strong stereotype exists surrounding a “sorority diet” that is based heavily on “fro-yo.” I

will admit that it is true that girls eat a lot of frozen yogurt. I, for one, live on the stuff. But I do not pretend that my diet is the model of healthy eating. Frozen yogurt has no nutritional value, no calcium, very little caloric value and serves mainly as a space-filler. If we

want to promote healthy eating habits to combat the pressures here on girls to be thin and perfect, then I highly doubt a contest encouraging them to eat more frozen yogurt helps the cause. Why

not have a contest to see who can buy the most diuretics, or who can throw up the most meals in a week? I see no problem with the contest itself; it is the frozen yogurt, which carries such a strong stigma, that I find misguided. Why not have a contest to see which sorority can eat the most bagels? Or sandwiches? Or foods that do not say: Girls should not eat real food. Although I appreciate Sigma Chi’s charitable intentions, I merely find this a further reinforcement of existing stereotypes that lead to disordered eating.

Correction Monday’s staff editorial “Rush alterations?” correctly stated that fraternity rushees would register online this year, but incorrectly stated that this would eliminate rushees signing up with individual fraternities. In fact, rushees will continue to sign up with individual fraternities in person and also register online.

The Chronicle

It’s cold, I’m tired Let me forewarn you by saying this: The column you see before you is going to appear as though it’s been written by a child suffering from an extreme case of ADD. It’s cold, I’m tired and two lethal exams are looming before me. Why in the world is it negative zero degrees outside? I’m a Georgia Peach unaccustomed to these icy winters. I thought I was dying today as I carefully stepped around West Campus in my three-inch boots and the freezing wind whipped at my delicate skin. It didn’t help that I had next to nothing on, but hey, I looked ■ cute. Doesn’t looking good take precedence over health? I think so. Someone please grant me the right to issue arrests entirely based Nikvatu on idiocy. I have warrants out for t J usu approximately 30 Duke students and counting, all for the same offense: Hotand Bothered

wearing flip flops in 30 degree weather. All I can say is: why? You know who I’m talking about; those clueless individuals who proudly shuffle around tightly wound up from head to waist, ensuring that their torsos and faces are pro-

tected from the cold, but leave their feet and legs to be ravaged by the wind. These perpetrators foolishly walk directly into mud puddles causing pant legs (the less moronic ones actually do wear pants and not shorts), toes, and all to be soaking wet. “Damn, man, my feet are wet!” You think? Just the other day I saw a cluster ofDuke students nearly trampling each other to purchase a women’s basketball poster. Oh, my mistake, those posters are free! I must have mistaken them for the pricey men’s posters. One would think that since the women actually made it to the Final Four, their posters could go for at least a buck. School sucks. It’s amazing that professors expect students to perform such ridiculous feats as attend class while being enrolled in college. I myself am a supporter of social learning. College, as I see it, should be a place in which individuals can learn how to interact with peers of every socioeconomic background, every race, every culture and all the other good words that make us warm inside because they sound so “diverse.” In this utopia, anyone and everyone can acquire knowledge, immersing oneself in an endless sea of intellectual endeavors, but because grades are so superficial they would not exist. Craving, yearning, drooling to get that ever-elusive A (or even A-) students stoop to all sorts of unspeakable lows. Am I too benevolent in assuming that the majority of Duke students actually take time out of their overwhelmingly hectic lives to acknowledge some sort of significant worldly occurrence via the news? This week, a University of Arizona nursing student shot three of his professors dead, and then shot himself. His motive: He was barred from taking a midterm. The pressure to excel in contemporaneous society is so invasive it’s almost maddening. Thought you were going to get through an entire column of mine without one mention of race, didn’t you? (Come on, you know me better than that). As I walk around this campus from day to day, the fact that I am one of a small number ofblack students on

this campus instills in me a somewhat overwhelming responsibility. Being in a majority grants one the right to be unconscious/oblivious to all that is not

Commentary

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1,2002 �PAGE 23

An ode to the commode The Duke campus is an education in the power of place. The grandeur ofthe Chapel, the tranquility of the gardens, the energy of Cameron Indoor Stadium—places like these seem to be physical manifestations of our most heartfelt emotions. After we’ve left, I don’t think anything will stick with us longer than Duke’s geography; even now, I bet most of us have our own special place on campus, Vk some place that symbolizes for each of us what we value highest. For me, that place is the bathroom Rob You see, I’m a member of a small, coed fraternity, and, until very recently, Goodman we all shared one bathroom. And as I Oh Dear, I'm Ever look back on the memories of friendship SoPissed that I most treasure, I realize that most of them took place in the commode. Nothing brings people closer together than washing, brushing and excreting in close proximity. If you grew up in a big family with lots of siblings, you might know what it’s like to share the facilities on a daily basis. Sure, it can be annoying to wait your turn for a sink or bump into a dripping brother straight out ofthe shower. But isn’t it also a little endearing? Don’t you miss it? That’s what we have on my hall. I think it’s only when we’re literally stripped down, exposed in all the imperfection of our teeth and topless bodies, that we can connect on the deepest level. Sometimes it’s a soapy, meaningful look exchanged over face-washing. Or admiring my friends’ taste in towels or boxer shorts. Or walking in to see a locked stall and jovially exclaiming, “It smells like s— in here!” Ha, ha, ha. It’s amazing what you find out about people from their behavior in the bathroom. There’s Eric, our dear fraternity president, who never spends less than forty minutes on the toilet. There’s Valerie, whom I always see two or three times a day wearing nothing but a pink towel. There’s Kim, who has such a cute way of brushing her teeth. Or Zane, who apparently never changes out of his fluffy bathrobe. “I never realized how special it could be until this year,” said Justin. “My dad was in the military, and we were always moving around. I guess I never got to feel ’

connected to any one bathroom. Now that I’m here, I know what I’ve been missing all along. I love you guys.” One night, I was flossing when my friend Portia looked up from her Q-tip and asked, “Do you believe in God?” And we had the most intense, four-hour conversation right there, sitting on the tiled floor. Bathrooms do things like that to people. But no longer. Earlier this week, three burly men entered our dorm to change our bathroom locks, and our lives. We tried to stop them—Eric threw himself across a toilet; Kim turned the shower to scalding hot and jumped in, fully clothed; the rest of us formed a human chain across the doorway. But the men would not be denied. They wrenched out the old lock and replaced it with an new one that looked, somehow, evil. They told me I could get a new key in the Housing Office. I do not know where that is. Already, things have changed in our fraternity. Without a coed bathroom, guys and girls have no reason to interact. No one makes eye contact. Conversations rarely go beyond meaningless pleasantries. We are no longer brothers and sisters; we’re just Duke students who happen to live on the same hall. We all seem to know, though no one will say it, that things will never be the same.

Sometimes, late at night, we scratch at the bathroom door and try to kick the lock, but it will not yield. Instead, we are forced to use a chamber pot in the middle of the hallway. If you have ever felt true brotherhood, and if you have ever lost it, pray for us. And pray for me. I write this from a bed in the emergency room of Duke University Hospital. My bladder, unable and unwilling to find another place to relieve itself, has ruptured. The doctors try to be encouraging, but I know they fear the worst. I may not last through the night. Damn you, Larry Moneta. Damn you

respect, we choose to focus on the hackneyed lines and outrageous declarations of love and tell ourselves this is what’s important. And from these shallow hopes we put inflated expectations on the men we date. We end up constructing our own Romeo who is a combination of our favorite leading men. This act, though unconscious, cuts and pastes the best of what Hollywood has to offer and leaves us dissatisfied when we cannot find our Brad Pitt-Tom Cruise-Ben Affleck. Surprisingly enough, these kinds of men are not lining the streets. We turn a blind eye to two major issues. One, most actors would not

and do not behave like the characters they play. They’re reading a script most likely written by a woman that is a recount of her own dream relationship. Two, guys do not grow up planning for romance. When it comes to the L-word, men and women are on different playing fields. From the time we’re little girls playing with Barbie dolls we dream of the perfect love story, complete with the knight on a white horse. We plan for romance, visualizing flowers, candles and even pick the perfect song to

play in the background. And when we get involved in relationships, these

great romances are what we expect. We want our men to say and do all the right things and pull out lines like “you complete me.” When we’re growing up, guys play with G.I. Joes and think about sports; we plan our weddings and children’s names. They have sleepovers and look at porno magazines while we watch Sleepless in Seattle. So, by the time we start to date, women have a first-rate Hollywood education in romance, while guys have to figure it out on their own. And, smart as our Duke boys may be, I highly doubt watching a girl sleep is a thought that readily pops into their minds. In the end, we need to learn to accept reality while not giving up on the dream. Guys all possess the potential to be the prince we imagined when we were young, but not all of them will figure it out so soon. College guys will not be Richard Gere; hell, some are lucky to be as smooth as Dawson Leary at this point. We need to appreciate our relationships for what they are instead of trying to mold them into a box office hit. Eventually the boys will catch up, and that’s when the dream coincides with real life. Then, when your guy does something wonderful, it won’t be something to check off on your romance list—it will be a surprise, the way it was meant to be.
