City Council puts off Conner review � Durham City Council members plan to continue their discussion of alleged contract mishandlings, including some by the city manager,

at meetings Tuesday and Thursday. By JOSH NIMOCKS The Chronicle

Marcia Conner’s future as Durham’s city manager remained unclear Monday night after a closed meeting of the Durham City Council and the release during the open portion of its meeting of an audit detailing the non-compliance of her office in executing

contracts. The council, which postponed a final decision on Conner’s fate until another closed session today and its regular work session Thursday, has been evaluating her performance after Mayor Bill Bell’s call for an audit of all transactions by the city manager’s office. The council began Monday night’s meeting half an hour late after the special closed session ran overtime and had to be adjourned until today. The session was prompted by concerns last week that Conner’s office had not handed out service and construction contracts

in compliance with existing regulations. One such breach involved the awarding of a $30,000 contract to the Marshall Group, a firm led by Byron Marshall, who succeeded Conner as the assistant city manager of Austin, Texas. City policy requires that any contract worth over $lO,OOO be advertised and bid on by competing firms. Although council members postponed open discussion of the report until Thursday’s working session so council members could fully examine it, copies were

released to the public. Durham’s Office ofAudit Services filed the report on Conner’s compliance with Durham’s financial policy FP-503.01, ‘Purchasing and Contracting on See CITY COUNCIL on page 7

Lawrence and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor of English Rashmi Varma presented their opinions on the United States’ role in Iraq, in the first of three panels this week sponsored

by Iraq and US, a group of Duke faculty, students, and administration hoping to foster University discussion on the issue. Lawrence focused specifically on the support the United States had provided Iraq during its war with Iran in the 1980s, and the consequences of that involvement on any future conflict and its aftermath. “The legacy of Saddam [Hussein] is partially an American legacy,” Lawrence said. “Any [American-installed] successor regime

has to account for how this regime will be different than the regime of the 1980s.” Lawrence emphasized the importance of plans for rebuilding Iraq after any potential war, likening the situation to the American-led Marshall Plan for Europe’s economic recovery following World War 11. “War can win [and] battles can have a purpose but only with a reSee IRAQ FORUM on page 8

Theta Chi, deans reach agreement By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

Despite speculation that, after a recent University investigation, Theta Chi fraternity could be the next greek organization to dissolve itself or be kicked off campus, the Edens Quad fraternity rests on solid ground, officials said Monday. In an agreement reached Monday morning between the fraternity’s officers and the Office of Judicial Affairs, Theta Chi will remain on probation for the rest of the semester, but thereafter will be allowed to stay on campus and recruit a pledge class. “The fraternity has developed some internal

measures to address recent concerns, which we support,” Dean of Judicial Affairs Kacie Wallace wrote in an e-mail. “There were no judicial charges and no disciplinary sanctions issued.” The agreement says Theta Chi will come under social suspension for the remainder of the fall semester, and that it will maintain its probationary status and keep its commons room locked for the remainder of the academic year. The fraternity will also develop monthly or bi-monthly social schedules for the spring semester and complete an ongoing fratemity-wide service project. Theta Chi President Joel Yancey said he was

satisfied with the University’s decision. “We came to an agreement that is hopefully going to be mutually agreeable,” said Yancey, a junior. Wallace said her office continues to try to help student groups identify ways to govern themselves and design means to address problems when they arise. “Theta Chi put a lot of time into designing measures they believe would be effective, and we are hopeful that working together will prove beneficial to both of us,” she wrote. Due to a combination of alcohol and hazing violations, administrators placed Theta Chi on probation last semester, preventing the fraternity from having all but one party or any brotherhood events. This semester, officials caught Theta Chi violating its probation when a residence coordinator found five members and seven non-members playing a drinking game in their section. Student Affairs officials had asked the fraternity to submit a possible punishment, which officials accepted. If the University had rejected the plan, Theta Chi would have needed to pick one of three punishments suggested by the University: not take an incoming pledge class, lose its living See THETA CHI on page 7

panel is that criminal prosecutors may now take an active role in deciding how to use wiretaps obtained from a special intelligence court and should have greater access to information obtained from those surveillance operations. For more than 20 years, prosecutors have been prohibited from directing the applications for intelligence wiretaps because the standards of proof are widely believed to be lower than for regular criminal wiretaps.

But the judges Monday said that the passage of the legislation, known as the USA Patriot Act, ensured that there was no wall between officials from the intelligence and criminal arms of the Justice Department. In fact, the judges asserted that the 20-year-old practice of keeping the two groups of officials largely separate was never required and was never intended by Congress. “Effective counterintelligence, as we have learned, requires the wholehearted cooperation of all the government’s personnel who can be brought to the task,” the appeals court wrote. “A standard which punishes such cooperation could well be thought dangerous to national security.” Monday’s opinion was a significant victory for Attorney General John Ashcroft, who announced immediately that he See WIRETAPS on page 6

The IMF: an agent of the powerful? All-male forum

considers assault

By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle The ability of troubled coun-

tries to weather financial crises largely depends on the willingness of wealthy nations to offer loans, but such investments can often seem like ride through a hurricane for all parties involved, faculty members said in a forum Monday. Much of the discussion focused on the conditions that countries must meet to win loans from the International Monetary Fund, the consortium of nations that organizes investment capital for nations in need ofstabilization. Professors almost unanimously agreed that the organization needs some changes, possibly including more representation from developing countries in the decision-making process. “The IMF is an agent of powerful countries,” said panelist Robert Keohane, James B. Duke professor of political science. The United States, which provides the IMF with much of its funding, controls about 17 percent of the vote within the IMF, Keohane said. He noted that changes in representation could be difficult to implement because wealthier nations hold the purse strings. “Institutions that operate onestate, one-vote, do not have any money,” Keohane said.

Research Professor of Econom-

ics Gianni Toniolo agreed, saying that a less self-interested IMF would first require a different mind-set on the part ofcreditors. “lt is unavoidable that those who give the money want to control how the money is spent,” Toniolo said, adding, “Until we want to pay more taxes we cannot talk about having better [international

Seeking to add a different voice to campus dialogue on sexual assault, about 30 male undergraduates joined a panel of faculty members and administrators for a Wayne Manor-sponsored discussion on the subjectMonday evening. Organizers intended the event to be informal. Director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life Todd Adams, Assistant Director for Outreach Services at Counseling and Psychological Services John Barrow and Administrative Coordinator for Student Health Ray Rodriguez sat in a circle with students and let the discussion unfold. “We were vague ourselves about what was going to happen here,”Adams said. “We didn’t want to come in and actually do a program.” They fielded questions from students for about an hour and a half, attempting to address sexual assault at the University in light of a reported attack that took place in October in the same residence hall, Wannamaker Dormitory, where they were meeting Monday evening. “What we have found is that our numbers for sexual assault are not overwhelmingly increasing or overwhelmingly different from other schools,” Rodriguez said. He attributed the perception of increased assault rates at Duke to more incidents being reported. “More people are saying, ‘This happened. I know what this is,’” he said. The panelists emphasized the role of non-assailants—students who can help change campus attitudes toward sexual assault by subtly but staunchly opposing it in a variety of ways. “There probably aren’t that many people on campus who have or who will commit sexual assault,” Barrow said. “However, how many people would step in and intervene if a fnend or perhaps an acquaintance was targeting [someone for a possible sexual assaultl?” Rodriguez said his office would soon initiate an adSee ALL-MALE FORUM on page 6

Researchers seek medical advances with MRI technology By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

Continuing advances in magnetic resonance imaging are allowing scientists to explore what philosophers could only speculate about for thousands of years—the innermost workings of the human brain. Duke brain MRI researchers are pioneering many of the ongoing developments in MRI technology, allowing the study of diverse phenomena—such as language, emotion, schizophrenia and

depression—and shifting the field from solely an investigation of brain

structure. “[MRI] is a huge initiative being pushed by the Duke administration,” said Allen Song, associate director of the Duke-UNC Brain Imaging and Analysis Center. “Duke is now at the forefront of this research.” One area where the Medical Center is gaining particular expertise is functional MRI, which can track blood flow within the brain and identify the areas being activated when patients perform certain tasks. Developed a decade ago, fMRI is continually being improved and applied to more areas. “[Functional MRI] opens up a huge field for scientists interested in how the brain works... [as well as] the pathology of certain terrible diseases,” Song said. “The importance offunctional brain imaging is really beyond my imagination.” MRI in humans works by manipulating the properties of hydrogen, the atom that accounts for 63 percent of the body. Each hydrogen atom consists of „

an electron revolving around a singleproton nucleus. The large magnetic field focused by the MRI machine aligns the “spin” of every proton along one

specific axis.

Radio waves are then applied, forcing the protons to wobble as if they were spinning like a top. When the

radio waves are removed, the protons release a burst of energy picked up by surrounding detectors. The signals emitted vary for different types of human tissue or other materials, allowing for detailed internal scans of the human body. The basic technique of MRI is consistent across the various improvements to the technology that Duke is developing. The ever-shrinking scale that MRI is able to resolve is one major advance in the field—and the smaller the anatomical detail, the greater the overall picture of brain function. “We want to take it down to the micron level... and look at the microarchitecture of brain function,” McCarthy said. “It’s a quantitative change that will lead to a qualitative change in brain imaging.” Magnetic resonance microscopy—a variant of MRl—provides Allan Johnson, director of Duke’s Center for In Vivo Microscopy, with the ability to look at mouse brains on the level of tens of microns. Although the technology is not applicable to humans, scientists can model various human diseases—including Alzheimer’s Disease and depression—in mouse brains and gain precise pictures of how the disease operates.

MRI IMAGES OF RAT BRAINS, such as those shown above that were taken in the Medical Center, contribute to researchers’ understanding of the brain’s operations.

“We can make accurate measures of different structures in the brain that are significant for that model,” Johnson said. Another MRI variant that Duke is pursuing is Lorentz imaging, which applies a strong magnetic field to produce a detectable force on electrical conductors, such as individual neurons in the brain. “[Lorentz imaging] holds promise of direct imaging of neuronal activity,” said Song. Current MRI reliance on blood flow is only coarsely correlated to neuronal activity, he added. Such precise identification of brain

operations has long been thought to be useful in the development of better treatments for some diseases. “What part of the brain is active can tell you what the basic process [of a disease] is,” said Cynthia Kuhn, professor of pharmacology and expert in neuropharmacology. “That may help you develop new therapies.” Johnson stressed that the ultimate benefits of MRI will inevitably grow out of the greater knowledge it produces. “If you give basic scientists tools, they can usually do something very useful for the human condition,” he said.

Self-government aids engineers’ programming efforts

Picnics, Friday kegs highlight Engineering Student Government bid to build community By ANDREW TODD The Chronicle Their workloads can be notoriously heavier, but Pratt School of Engineering undergraduates have at least one advantage over their Trinity College counterparts—not only can they take advantage of Duke Student Government, but they have their own Engineering Student Government. “There are certain issues that only face engineers,” said senior Kyle Smith, president of ESG. His organization seeks to fill the gaps left by more general groups. It is much smaller and “doesn’t have the formal flavor of DSG,” said Phil Jones, Pratt’s senior associate dean of education. It has only eight elected members —an executive president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, publicity chair, and presidents for the junior and sophomore classes.

Bush warns Iraq for firing on allied warplanes By THOM SHANKER and RICHARD STEVENSON New York Times News Service

The George W. Bush administration Monday warned Iraq it had breached the latest U.N. resolution by firing on US. and British warplanes patrolling no-flight zones over Iraq, but it stopped short of casting the violation as sufficient reason to go to war. Faced Monday with the latest in a recent string of attempts by Iraq to shoot down allied aircraft in the

WASHINGTON

zones, the administration insisted the confrontations violated terms of the resolution, adopted by the Security Council on Nov. 8. The resolution bars “hostile acts” toward any U.N. representative or member state seeking to uphold the world body’s efforts to contain

Iraqi aggression. But the administration left its position on the seriousness of the incident deliberately ambiguous, administration and Pentagon officials said. The administration sought both to underscore the seriousness of the threat to American and British pilots, they said, and to reserve the idea that Iraqi attacks on allied warplanes are part of a pattern of intransigence that ultimately could be used to make the case for war.

The administration also appeared to be acknowledging it would be difficult to use confrontations between allied planes and Iraqi forces on the ground in the no-flight zones—the equivalent of a low-level war that has been going for years—as the sole reason for launching new military action against Saddam Hussein. The main goal of the Security Council resolution is to require Saddam to give up any weapons of mass destruction he possesses. Faced with the near certainty that Russia and some other countries would not agree that Iraq’s firing on the patrol planes violated the resolution, administration officials said for the time being they would not bring the issue before the Security Council. Instead, they said they would remain focused primarily on pressing Saddam to cooperate in giving up his arsenal. U.N. weapons inspectors arrived in Iraq Monday to begin their search for evidence ofchemical, biological and nuclear weapons and programs intended to produce them. “The United States believes that firing upon our aircraft in the no-fly zone, or British aircraft, is a vio-

lation—it is a material breach,” said Scott McClellan,

a spokesperson for the White House. McClellan said President Bush’s policy toward Saddamremained one of “zero tolerance”when it came to enforcing the U.S. resolution. Iraqi attacks on allied planes are “something that we will assess and review” and reserve the right to bring before the Security Council. “But the issue here is disarmament, and this goes to the heart of the intentions of Saddam Hussein and his regime,” McClellan said. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, in Chile for a meeting with defense ministers from the hemisphere, said Monday that Iraqi attacks on American and British warplanes were “unacceptable.” But he declined to state whether those attacks should be the trigger for war. “It is for the president of the United States and the UN. Security Council to make judgments about their view of Iraq’s behavior over a period oftime,” Rumsfeld told reporters in Santiago, Chile’s capital. At the United Nations, a U.S. official acknowledged

One obstacle to making an even more definitive voice print match was the poor quality of the recording on the

audio tape. U.S. experts believe that Osama bin Laden’s message was recorded or re-recorded over a telephone line at some point. U.S. intelligence officials said that outside technical experts were brought in to help in the process of determining the tape’s authenticity.

The more definitive statement about the tape clearly shows that the U.S. intelligence community, once divided over whether the Saudi exile had survived last year’s war in Afghanistan, has now reached a consensus that bin Laden is still at large. “One of the messages that I think bin Laden is trying to get out, both to his supporters and to the world, is T’m \

Late last week, leading Democrats in Congress, including Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, said that the failure to find Osama bin Laden had called into question the war on terror.

vertising campaign showing statistics regarding men’s sentiments toward sexual assault. “We often feel disempowered when it comes time to do something,” Rodriguez said. “But there’s a lot of power. We just have to channel it.” He cited the role of men as especially crucial for change in the climate, noting that a male-only club devoted to sexual assault issues may have helped reduce the incidence of assault from 1993 to 1995. Junior Hany Elmariah, who organized the discussion, said he restricted the talk to only men so that they could feel more relaxed and express their true feelings on the topic. Elmariah said he was pleased with the resulting discussion.

“I don’t think some of those questions would have come out if there had

been girls,” he said afterward. Many of those in attendance had high praise for the types of topics that entered into the talk, noting that when a female student inadvertently interrupted the meeting, all conversation stopped. “The best thing about it was they weren’t afraid to [examine] the issues,” said sophomore Patrick Flight. “They just kind oflaid it on the line.” Elmariah said that one negative aspect of the discussion was the almost total lack of racial diversity among those in attendance. He blamed poor advertising, saying his publicity efforts consisted of an e-mail to Interfratemity Council members. “We could have done some ads, some flyering,” he said. “I would love for us to do it again—maybe even make it bigger.”

ed of involvement with terrorists. “This is a giant step forward,” Ashcroft said at the Justice Department, adding that he would swiftly increase the number of lawyers both at the FBI and in prosecutors’ offices around the country to seek authorization for new wiretaps and surveillance orders to combat terrorism. “This revolutionizes our ability to investigate terrorists and prosecute terrorist acts,” he said. The ruling also adds momentum to the George W. Bush administration’s determination to shake off restrictions on how investigators have operated since the Sept. 11 attacks, including the lifting of restrictions on investigators using the Internet to compile databases to be used to combat terrorists. It may

also oblige the FBI to share information gathered by its counterintelligence agents more readily. Both the appeals court and the court whose opinion it overturned Monday were created to administer a 1978 law allowing the government to conduct intelligence wiretaps inside the United States. The three-member appeals court, called the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, in issuing its first opinion ever, said that the lower court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, had erred when it tried to impose restrictions on the Justice Department. Because of the unusual nature of the law on which the case was decided, it was unclear who is in a position to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. The only party in the case was the Justice Department, which won; the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, who filed briefs, were afforded only ffiend-ofthe-court status, which does not entitle them to bring an appeal.

They will also be required to complete 12 hours of community service and pay a $5O fine to be used for philanthropic purposes. Last week, Kappa Sigma fraternity—which moved into Theta Chi’s old living section this year—announced its own dissolution, citing pressures from its national headquarters and the University.

The audit—which examined 132 random city contracts and all 40 contracts initiated by the city manager’s office—found irregularities in both samples, and concluded that the city is not in compliance with its current financial policy.

Among the random sample, selected

from over 2,500 such contracts, two had not received the city manager’s

approval, four were signed by the city manager prior to the council’s approval and eight were executed before documented city manager approval. Compliance, in part, includes the presence of signatures from the city manager, the city clerk and the finance director, as well as concordance with the city’s minority and women’s business enterprise ordinance and other measures, such as advertisement for contract bids, depending on the monetary

value of the particular contract. Within the 40 contracts that originated from Conner’s office, three had not been advertised for bids, two received her signature prior to council approval, and three were executed prior to Conner’s documented approval. During its regular meeting Monday, the council discussed approval of a site plan for an apartment complex on Cole Mill Road. Residents present at the meeting cited the disruption that the proposed three-story apartment complex would bring to a residential neighborhood of single family homes.

Varma said that the U.S. government needs a consistent policy. “We need the same policy for Iraq, for Israel and for Pakistan,” she said. “It needs to be more consistent with the principles of international law and justice.” Audience reaction to the panel discussion was mixed. Junior Michael D’Angiolillo said he felt that the discussion was skewed to the left and not open to divergent opinions. First-year law student Zachary Klughaupt, on the other hand, said the panel had appropriately addressed the different sides of the U.S.-Iraqi issue and hoped similar forums would be available to students in the future. “I was pleased because I felt the panel addressed different views and questions on Iraq,” Klughaupt said. “Discussions like this are an important part of being at a university and I hope more students can come to these events.” The group Iraq and US, which claims to be neither pro-war nor anti-war, was started when James Joseph, professor of the practice in public policy studies and former U.S. ambassador to South Africa, was contacted by individuals interested in starting a dialogue on Iraq that was both open to and representative of di-

She stressed that the living conditions of these individuals are used by the United States to dehumanize Iraq and other Islamic countries in order to justify unilateral actions against those nations. “The United States fights in the name of human rights, but not those of the Iraqis, because they are viewed as inhuman,” Varma said. She also criticized economic sanctions, classifying them as a continuation of the first Persian Gulf War. “The U.S. is already at war with Iraq,” Varma said. “We’ve been at war with Iraq for more than a decade. The question is not whether war should take place, but what form that war

should take.” At the end of the discussion, Lawrence and Varma were each asked their opinions on the United States’ next step. “We should open diplomatic ties

there was disagreement among Security

Council members as to whether the Iraqi attacks amount to a violation of the resolution. Paragraph eight of the resolution

states that “Iraq should not take or threaten hostile acts directed against any representative or personnel of the United Nations or of any member state taking action to uphold any council resolution.” “It wouldn’t be our strong suit if we brought it back into the council,” the U.S. official said, adding that in any case it is “not the key element of the resolution.” But a senior administration official noted Monday that one of the ideas behind drafting Paragraph 8 was that it could apply to the no-flight zones. The zones were established by the United States, Britain and France after the Persian Gulf War, although France

The Security Council broadly authorized the use of necessary means to enforce these resolutions, which Democratic and Republican administrations have since cited as implicit authority for the no-flight zones. Saddam’s government in Baghdad has decried the patrols as an illegal violation of Iraqi sovereignty. Despite some complaints about the no-flight zones, the Security Council has never taken formal action to restrict or end the operations. Iraq attacked U.S. and British war-

K I Franks discusses outburst, upcoming UNC game The Chronicle �

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2002

By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

Head football coach Carl Franks had a new experience with the sport of football Saturday against Georgia Tech: he received a penalty from the sidelines. Franks opened his weekly press conference discussing the matter, carefully following the NCAA’s rules on criticiz-

ing officiating. In the second quarter Saturday, Duke’s Brendan Dewan intercepted a Georgia Tech pass, but the play was negated because of a roughing the passer penalty. Franks began to openly protest the flag, but said that he did not use inappropriate language. Midway through his conversation with the official, the Blue Devil coach snapped. Franks expressed disdain at something the official said to him that no official had ever uttered before. “He said ‘to hell with you.’ I got a little upset about it,” Franks said. Obviously distraught about the incident, Franks randomly spoke about the incident later in the conference. Franks began by comically reading aloud the exact words of the NCAA’s policy of criticizing officials. Franks said he felt that he followed the rules, and therefore began to discuss the issue further. Franks said that he and the official had a run-in at the Northwestern game, providing a possible impetus for last

page 9

week’s altercation. Franks noted that the official is retiring, and he would not be making any formal complaints against the official. “He’s retiring, no more games. Good,” Franks said. When a journalist asked if he would be attending his retirement party, Franks ridded some of his frustration through humor. “If I get an invitation I might consider going,” Franks said. “I’ll come in and throw a flag.” With one game left in the season, Franks spent much of the rest of the conference evaluating the year. Franks felt the team met several expectations. “Defensively I thought we were a lot better,” he said. “Run defense we were a lot better, scoring defense we were better. Turn-overs we were a lot better. Sacks. In those areas we met expectations. Offensively, rushing the ball we met expectations.” Despite his analysis of the first 11 games, Franks knows that the year is not over. Franks said the North Carolina game is as important for next season as it is this year. “If we win this game, the entire team is coming back,” Franks said. “It makes us feel a little bit better going into the off-season. It doesn’t take away the close [losses this season] and that kind of stuff, but it validates a little bit of See FRANKS on page 12

UNC showcases freshmen in 85-55 thrashing Freshman Rashad McCants pours in 28 points on 11-of-14 shooting, sets freshman record By DAVID DROSCHAK The Associated Press

85 CHAPEL HILL Matt Doherty had Penn State 55 reason to be nervous after an 8-20 season. But North Carolina’s freshmen weren’t the least bit jittery Monday night. Rashad McCants scored 28 points to set the freshman scoring mark in an opening game in which the Tar Heels rolled over Penn State 85-55 in the first round of the Preseason NIT. “It’s been a long offseason and my insides were bursting,” Doherty said. “I had no idea how we would do. I had no idea how Penn State would do. I probably need to go run a marathon before games so I can calm down a little bit.” It didn’t take North Carolina long to win over its fans after the school’s first 20-loss season, going on a 20-6 run to open the game against a Penn State team that was overmatched in the quickness department. The game was a far cry from last year’s opener in the Smith Center when North Carolina lost 77-69 to Hampton, beginning a frustrating year that would be the worst in school history. “It’s been a long time since our fans have been on their feet consistently like that,” senior Will Johnson said. “I was happy for our fans that we could go out there and give them something to cheer about because they stuck with us last year when we didn’t give them anything to cheer about.” North Carolina advanced to the second round and will play Rutgers, which beat Columbia 60-36, on Wednesday night. The Tar Heels, with just two seniors and no juniors on their roster, made 10 oftheir first 12 shots and scored on 12 of their first 15 possessions to go up by 20 points eight minutes in. The Tar Heels started three freshmen—McCants, Sean May and UNC

Raymond Felton—for the first time in school history. The three former prep stars didn’t disappoint Doherty. They all laughed when told that Doherty was more nervous than them. “We had nothing to be nervous about,” May said. “It’s a basketball game. We went out there and played hard. There were no jitters for us.” The 6-foot-4 McCants was 11-of-14 from the field to best Joseph Forte’s freshman record of 24 points to open against the 1999-2000 season Southern California. May added 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Felton had nine points and 10 assists. McCants had a perfect first half, making all seven of his shots for 20 points. May and Felton also were factors as the three first-year players combined for 40 of North Carolina’s points in taking a 54-29 halftime lead. “The wound kept getting bigger and bigger,” Penn State’s Brandon Watkins said. “We didn’t have a Band-Aid big enough to cover it.” McCants, who sat out last week’s exhibition game with a sore shoulder, was hot from the start, getting two slams and consecutive three-pointers 29 seconds apart in the first 3:06 that helped bury a Penn State team that was 7-21 a season ago. “It’s beyond my wildest dreams just to play in this uniform,” McCants said when asked about starring in his first game. “Just to be out there and hear the crowd was great.” At one point in the first half McCants had 17 points—so did Penn State, which missed 25 of its first 33 attempts and finished shooting 30 percent. Penn State was just 3-for-23 from the three-point line. “We did a good job of shutting out some passes and keeping them from running their offense and they had to go one-on-one,” Doherty said. “I was real proud of our defensive energy.” Watkins led the Nittany Lions with

half to improve to 11-2 all-time in the Preseason NIT.

SOCCER from page 9 appear, however, that the guidelines do not strictly parallel college basketball, where strength of schedule is a key factor in a team’s admittance to the

postseason. “We can’t afford to play [Florida] next year because our schedules are so tough, and that’s not right,” head coach Robbie Church said. “You know, I don’t apologize for our schedule [this year]. I think we played a great schedule. I think our players are better because of the schedule we play..,. Everybody in the country is going to be looking at their schedule now and asking, ‘is it too tough? Do I have too many losses in here?’” Some Duke players have come to alternative conclusions, however, due to the so-called “Duke rule.” Over the summer the selection office created the winning-record mandate, the “Duke rule,” specifically because Duke received an invite last year despite its sub-.500 record.

The possibility that the NCAA was making an example of the Blue Devils has

ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

HEAD COACH ROBBIE CHURCH talks to his team after a disappointing midseason loss,

then been tossed around by some players. “The NCAA got hassled a lot last year for letting us in,” Wagner said. “I feel like they’re sort of making up for last year.... It really makes no sense to any of us why we are no longer playing.”

Penn State closed to 71-53 with an 18-3 run with 6:47 left, but McCants

scored on his own missed shot, Jackie Manuel added a driving layup and May dunked to force a timeout by Nittany Lions coach Jerry Dunn.

With the decision now a week old, the Duke program has begun evaluating its progress in the 2002 season. Despite the postseason disappointment, there certainly appears much to feel proud about. “We beat four ranked teams—there’s a lot of positives from this season,” Church said. “We’re thrilled, but one of the disappointing things... is it’s going to be eight months before we really get ready to play at a high level against top-notch competition. That is going to be a long eight months in the sense that we’ll look forward to next year and some ofthe potential that we have to do very, very well.” For Church, there is closure to the NCAA’s decision. He can look forward to entering the 2003 season with a mentally tougher, and possibly better skilled, Duke team eager to avenge what it feels to be an unfair snubbing. For others, however, the search for closure continues, particularly for those unable to return to collegiate soccer. “One of the hardest parts is that we didn’t realize when we were playing Clemson, that was [the end], as a group,” Wagner said. “The majority of us took getting into the tournament for granted because we’ve always done that.... it’s very disturbing, especially to seniors. This is the closest team I’ve ever been a part of in college soccer, and that’s why it’s so heartbreaking.”

FRANKS from page 9 what we’ve been saying that this team is getting better. We need to win an ACC game to make us a little more legitimate.” Franks is worried about North Carolina’s passing game, as the Tar Heels own the number one passing offense in the ACC, while Duke has the worst pass defense. The coach, however, said he thinks this aspect of his defense is improving. “I feel pretty good about how our secondary played [against Georgia Tech],” Franks said. “I thought we really challenged Georgia Tech’s receivers. We broke up some passes.” Franks coached North Carolina quarterback C.J. Stephens while he was an assistant at Florida, where Stephens played before transferring. That will not help the Blue Devils too much, however, as UNC head coach John Bunting has said that freshman

Matt Baker will start instead this week “I don’tknow too much about Baker,” Franks said. “I’ll have to look at the tape and see what he’s done so far.” Franks said he looks forward to competing for the victory bell, which has not graced Duke’s campus since Steve Spurrier was head coach in 1989. Duke has gone 0-12 against the Tar Heels ever since. “I think both teams will be very excited to play each other,” Franks said. “I know they are a team that is capable of playing a lot better than they’ve played. There’s some really good football players on their team. We’ll have to come out and play very well.”

Money troubles

With

over 300 clubs, the University is long overdue in looking at reducing the number of chartered student organizations on campus. Although there are benefits to having a large number of clubs, there simply is not enough money or manpower at the University to support the current number. Clubs work best when they have an established presence on campus, a sizable and dedicated membership and qualified leaders. However, with so many organizations, it is impossible that all 300 clubs satisfy these criteria. The diffusion of resources is especially serious when it comes to funding. If the University wants to recognize every club that is not such a big deal, but when it comes to paying for the activities of all these clubs, that is problematic with a limited budget. Perhaps funding for clubs should be based on the amount of participation in them in addition to club needs. Perhaps the clubs that are hurt worst by the current situation are middle-of-the-road ones. Most small clubs can survive off the small stipends they receive and large clubs get almost all the money they want, but mid-sized ones often seem to fall through the cracks, since they need a good deal of money, yet do not. In addition to examining the viability of clubs themselves, the University should also closely look at what groups it is funding and why it is funding them. Large clubs, or at least those clubs that receive large amounts of University money, should be carefully scrutinized to ensure their money is both necessary and is being productively spent. The key is to ensure that the money being out to certain organizations is warranted and that the money could not be put to better use funding other activities. Although the stipends for each small individual club are tiny—only a couple hundred of dollars in most cases—in aggregate, the impact is large. Fifty clubs at $2OO each adds up to a total bill of $lO,OOO, money that could be used to finance other clubs. Ultimately, the University must develop a system to screen groups and to evaluate their monetary needs. The plan devised last year to have a committee making the decisions about where money should go seems like a viable option that is much preferable to either an administrator making the decisions or the current relatively unregulated free-for-all. Although the committee's decisions would surely be difficult and the process of deciding which groups to fund and at what levels would not be easy, it is necessary to ensure the well-being and equal treatment of all clubs on this campus.

On the record The ideal solution is for all groups to take responsibility hope is that we would never have to intervene.

DSG continues to work toward transit solutions Through

Catherine Reeve appeared before the legislature Nov. 6 and answered most, but not all, of our questions to our satisfaction. Moving forward, we have formulated several policy recommendations and are in the process of presenting them to the administration. Among the issues we address is the concern over the long-term plans of the University for undergraduate parking. Also, the equitable allocation of parking fine revenue is of the utmost importance. I can think of no reason why Roth is so willing to make excuses for the administration given their hiking of already excessive parking fines, new parking garage or not. Of course, we consistently look towards making the EastWest bus route more accessible, and in fact, there has

intense

involvement with the Duke Student Government facilities and athletics committee on our parking and transit initiative, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify what we are doing to address the many parking and tran-

sit problems on campus. Our resolution on this issue was passed unanimously by the legislature Oct 30. The resolution called for delivery of the that Brandon memo Goodwin explained in his Nov. 12 letter to the editor and that lan Roth takes so much issue with in his Nov. 14 letter to the editor. In the memo, we asked that the administration provide answers to many questions, only some of which made it into Goodwin’s letter. Director of Parking and Transportation Services

already been an increase in buses on the East-West route between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

While parking and tran-

sit are notoriously confusingat this University, the problems can be solved with the University’s available resources and proper timing. The memo that Roth mistakenly deems worthless is but DSG’s first action in improving the undergraduate parking and transit experience. It is our hope that a just solution can be reached and we ask for the student body’s patience while we navigate our initiatives through the bureaucratic quagmire that is the Duke administration.

Letter on Muslim terrorism lacks balance, credibility It

Sadaf Raja characterizes Dr. Bala Ambati’s views as inaccurate when he has buttressed every statement with many specific facts. Raja, on the other hand, deals in broad, propagandists statements. His initial

use of the familiar “Osama”

implies that he has pride in “Osama’s” actions, as many Muslims seem to overtly or secretly feel. Raja states that “Islamic fundamentalism imperialism” is a nonsensical term, yet does not explain why. It would seem accurate in that the stated goal of these fundamentalists is to extend and exert their will onto a large part of the world. When Nigerian and

The Chronicle

Regular readers of this column will know that I have nothing but the utmost respect for the armed men and women of the United States and its allies.

This is the case, regrettably,

Diagnosis: positive. “Grave pathologies,” someone pronounced maybe two weeks back. English. Rival personalities, or something. What’s a pathology? Alcoholism. Anorexia nervosa. Apathemia. Bulimia. Bitchititus. (O)C.D. Ennui. Slackosis. Not a slacker though. Do many things, just none for too long. One word: plastics. Here’s to you, Mrs. Nannerl Robinson. There’s John. Head bob and smile. —Working hard, John? —On my swing, knowumsayin? —At the golf course instead of class, huh? Freshman year econ major looked ahead to S7SK per annum consulting the man; with this economy, ppffthh. Degraduation. The rats calculate the opportunity cost of X against the net loss ofY and that’s why they’re the first to jump ship, ratpaddle over to the non-profit boat or—better—the law school schooner, cause lawyers never sink. —ln fact, John’s head downtilts letting in on little secret, I’m going to go on the Tour. —The tour... oh, PGA? His eyes close confidently, blissfully sublimely in doublewink. He’s not even on the golf team, he can’t really be. What do I know, maybe. He clings to his PGA Tour, I cling to my nothing. His is a bit more glorious, isn’t it. My nothing is safer for longterm wellbeing—if he doesn’t make it on the tour, failure. IfI get a job, well, it’s better than nothing. Figure for foolproof fantasy: fickle feet fall flat. Good luck with that, John. What a rush to see would-be I-bankers shake in their shoes. And I with a mean grin. They blow four years in econ classes or writing memos

riagedeath. Suck it up and buckle down, Bloom son, this ain’t homework. Ain’t no cure for the summertime blues. Now these are Mister, You’re on Fire some malignant incurable terminal goddamn blues. Graduation Job, (Job) death. Bring on the void. Would still choose death over grad school. Can spot the grads a mile away. Undergrads: perky; bright eyes of youth. Grads: sullen; dull sheen of not-quite-youth. Insignificance looms. Not more insignificant than the rest of us, just more conscious of it. From long hours on hard seats in small cubicles in cold library. Faces pageyellow. Degraded. Degraduate. —And what are you going to do now that you’re done? Oh come on, lady, you too? Stomach to brain: exercise discretion in how many times you have this conversation, otherwise when it really counts I’m going to puke all over Grandma. Brain here: initiating standard evasion protocol. Hands on deck. Smile wider. Endear. Pivot, and go: =

—Urn... nothing. Well played. Still need practice. Her face. Thinks I’m joking. Mom and Dad too, but didn’t laugh. Alarmed. Eyeswide like spotted an iceberg dead ahead. Dive, AWOOGAH. So you want to travel and figure things out before you enter the real world,that’s fine but how are you going to support yourself? No, you don’t understand —I don’t need time to figure out what I want to do. I already know what I want to do. I want to do nothing. Let’s talk about supporting that. AWOOGAH. No, parents disapprove in silence. Unsatisfied. Premature graduation. Nothing can mean anything. Not no job, gotta eat. Just

with eyes on the IPO’s and oops the GenX slackers beat them to it and here comes Dubya blastin’ to send the rest to hell. America gets the president America deserves. He’ll give more than that, maybe. Holyroller. End is nigh! Rapture. Graduate to heaven. New Bloomusalem. Gladjewnation. No, hebes and sinners left behind, and I’m both. Write a memo analyzing cost-benefit of apocalypse. Cost: pillars of the world collapse, antichrist rises to domination. Benefit: high brought low, CEOs and artists starve together. Plus, plenty to write. War correspondent in Armaggeddon. Interview Exclusive: the Fourth Horseman—Signs, Scythes, Steamy Sex Secrets! Dinky elevator. The postmodern American spoiled brat, has everything wants nothing. Education is a nap from which I am trying to awake. 13 years of grade school; 12 years of religious school; 3 1/2 years higher, highest tower in the South; helluva long wait in line, and they paid premium for my front row seat (scalped, $144,000) and the gates open and I present my ticket that says “Upon this day in December 2002, this Diblooma is awarded in certificatory announcement of the completion of scholarly preparation for entrance into the bifurcated arms of a benevolent world filled with opportunity, esteem and glory.” And I have a five month head start so I walk through the gates and oh it is bright I’ve been in line inside so long and I spy sunny spot on the grassy hill supine above the glittering office buildings and. I cop a squat. Pretty. Pretty buildings towering over two pretty brightdeadleaf trees with pretty girls walking briskly all around. 27 months of pretty buildings, trees and girls. Partied a little. Learned a good deal, not enough. Parents paid way too much. Tour group between brochurebright trees. Want to warn them. Go in go-getter, come out saddled with disillusions, heavy debt chains and unskills. Want to peel through that bus circle, diploma clenched in a raised fist as my cry is heard fading away from the Chapel steps. So long, suckers! Hm, could be headline for last column. Obnoxious. But graduation columns always. Who wants to read someone’s innermost thoughts during a 9:10? Each one sprints to the same place. Ready? Set. Self-indulge! Nothing will stop me. Grad, you wait.

Gradate. Just great.
