Hectic holiday season brings traffic, long airport waits By MELISSA SOUCY The Chronicle

There’s no place like home for the holidays—except travelers will have to battle dense congestion to get there this Thanksgiving. As in years past, officials for both airport and ground transportation services are advising travelers to prepare for the hectic travel conditions this season. In the wake of 2001’s terrorist attacks, passenger travel through Raleigh-Durham International Airport dropped 30 percent from Thanksgiving week in 2000. Although fears of flying diverted travelers to the roads, Sgt. Jeff Freuler of the North Carolina Highway Patrol’s Durham office said travelers

confidence has gotten back up to where they will be flying,” Freuler said. Departures out. of RDU have increased by an average of 15 flights a day since last year, and officials expect more passengers traveling per flight this week. RDU spokesperson Karen Dunton anticipated 200,000 would passengers pass through RDU between Nov. 25 and Dec. I—a 10 to 15 percent increase since last year’s levels. Dunton also predicted the airport will service about 30,000 travelers on each of this week’s busiest days, Wednesday and Sunday. See HOLIDAY TRAVEL on page 6

Weapons inspectors arrive in Iraq Blix and other foreign officials hope for peaceful and unobstructed inspections By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press

A working BAGHDAD, Iraq team of U.N. weapons inspectors returned to Iraq Monday for the first time in four years to begin searching for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Iraq says it does not possess such arms, but the United States alleges it retains some and may be producing others.

With the threat of war hanging over the mission, a spokesperson for the inspectors urged both cooperation from the Iraqis and patience from other countries—an apparent reference to the United States, which has threatened military action if President Saddam Hussein’s government

tries to obstruct the inspections. “We have a huge mandate,” spokesperson Melissa Fleming told reporters. “It’s going to take time, and we require a lot of patience from our member states as well as transparency and cooperation from the Iraqis.” The contingent of 17 inspectors arrived aboard a white C-130 transport plane from Cyprus along with their cargo of high-tech sensors, computers and other gear, They will begin inspections Wednesday, starting with sites that had been visited before the program was suspended in December 1998. U.N. officials said the inspectors will, among other things, check on cameras and other surveillance

equipment left by earlier inspectors.

Later, the team will branch out to

new or rebuilt sites—including suspected storage places for chemical weapons which U.S. intelligence alleges are still held by Iraq. Fleming said about 35 additional inspectors will come to Baghdad Dec. B—the8—the deadline for Iraq to submit a report on all its nuclear, chemical and biological programs, including those said to be for peaceful purposes. “We come here with, let’s say, hope that things will go well this time, and we will get what is required of Iraq,” Fleming said. “We’re aware that we will be watched, every move.

Homeland security bill signed into law By RICHARD STEVENSON New York Times News Service

President George W. Bush signed WASHINGTON legislation Monday creating a Department of Homeland Security and named Tom Ridge, a former Pennsylvania governor who has been the White House’s domestic security coordinator, to lead it. Bush’s signature on the bill, which won final congressional approval last week after a bitter political fight, set in motion a vast bureaucratic reorganization that the president said would “focus the full resources of the American government on the safety of the American people.” By nightfall, 60 days before he was required by law to do so, Bush had sent to Congress his detailed plan for bringing the department into being. The plan called for

getting the department largely up and running by March 1, with the process to be completed, at least in organizational terms, by Sept. 30. In announcing that he would nominate Ridge as the first secretary of homeland security, Bush was entrusting him not just to oversee what is sure to be a difficult merger of disparate government agencies but also to elevate defense of Americans at home to a new level in the face of what officials say are ever-evolving terrorist threats. “He has a monumental task in front ofhim,” said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., who was one of the original proponents of creating the Cabinet-level department. “It’s like asking Noah to build the ark after the rain has started to fall.” See SECURITY on page 8

Art exhibit Forum addresses injustice of drug laws considers war effects By ROBERT MORRIS The Chronicle

Listening intently to a panel of North Carolina residents describe the lives of family members incarcerated under federal drug laws, students

By JENNIFER HASVOLD The Chronicle

From Picasso’s Guernica to the Hollywood hit Braveheart, artistic representations of war provide society with both entertainment and opportunities for dialogue. This year, the Duke Institute of the Arts is sponsoring a series of events reflecting how art has influenced and been influenced by war. “There is a lot of serious [dialogue needed] about'the role that art has played in military conflict and civic unrest throughout the ages,” said Kathy Silbiger, program director for the institute. “The arts get marginalized into sort of this entertainment distraction role. We want to counter-

balance that.” Silbiger sent an e-mail asking for proposals for potential events to all departments and faculty members in the arts —and some in the social sciences—and said she was pleased by the level of response. “Each [event] is coming at it from a different angle, and it will attract a different audience,” Silbiger said.

Organization for the series is largely decentralized—individuals in charge of a particular presentation See ART on page 6

caught a glimpse Monday night of a world far removed from the tension of upcoming exams. “Racism in the Justice System: A Forum on Racially Biased Drug Laws” was organized by juniors Johanna Pemberton and Brandi Peterson who were inspired by what they learned in their “Whiteness, Anti-Racism and Justice” class. Peterson opened the forum with emotional words about the consequences of the war on drugs. “There are not enough words to describe the pain of knowing your loved ones are serving jail sentences,” she said, displaying an obvious emotional commitment to the topic. Discussion alternated between personal accounts by panelists and discussion of mandatory minimum sentencing laws, under which people convicted of drug offenses must receive a sen-

tence set at a federally-imposed level. Panelists Carrie Graves and Elaine Lynch, both of whom have sons in prison serving mandatory minimums, represented the November Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the effects of current drug laws. “These laws not only affect those incarcerated but their children,” said

Lynch, whose son was a 22-year-old student at Howard University when he was arrested. She added that her son’s baby daughter has only known him as an inmate. “My children are in jail because they are two young black men,” Graves said. “Racism is alive and well in this country.” Graves and Lynch both encouraged students to vote and to contact their

elected officials about the unfair

harshness of drug sentencing laws. “Drug offenders cannot get Pell Grants [a type of federal aid] for college but rapists can,” Graves said.

CARRIE GRAVES, an organizer and panelist at Monday night’s forum, speaks about the unfair nature of drug sentencing laws. LaFonda Jones, a North Carolina Coordinator for Families Against Mandatory Minimums, spoke about the limitations these laws force on judges. “One of our major goals is to restore judicial discretion,” Jones said. “These draconian laws are simply designed for punishment, not rehabilitation.” Panelist Richie Williams currently faces a mandatory minimum of 25years-to-life with no chance of parole for conspiracy to manufacture crystal meth. After he described the way his life has changed since his arrest —he has been substance-free for 18 months—another panelist put his situation into the context of the forum. “We don’t want to spend $22,000 a year incarcerating people like Richie who have turned their life around,” said

Louise Sides, a friend ofWilliams’ family. Like all inmates in the federal penitentiary system, Williams will be ineligible for parole if convicted. His only possibility for a reduced sentence is to provide information that leads to the arrest of others. The approximately 30 students in attendance were struck by the emotional impact of the speakers. “I thought [the forum] was really informative and saddening said junior Rashida Leggett. Sophomore Nic Alexander agreed, saying the message’s importance was increased by the fact that students so rarely hear it. “It’s tough fr.om a Duke student’s perspective to relate to some of these stories,” he said. “We represent a small part of the population and need to look out for larger concerns.” ”

Wake County votes to revise sex education program By LAURA BEACH The Chronicle

Who knew that learning about the birds and the bees could cause so much commotion? This month, a heated debate over sex education in Wake County schools has finally come to a close with the Wake County Board of Education’s vote to revise the current Abstinence Until Marriage curriculum—standardized by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1995—for grades 7-9. The new and revised curriculum for Wake County will include updated information about sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptives and teen pregnancy, as well as lessons about building healthy relationships, making healthy decisions, resisting peer pressure and tolerating differences in sexual orientation. Although advocates of the expanded curriculum stress the relatively minor changes in sex education, the issue has caused considerable controversy in the Triangle community. “It is a very sensitive subject,” said Kathryn Watson Quigg, chair of the school Board whose tie-breaking vote gave the revisionists a 5-4 victory. “There were concerns in the community that any change in the Abstinence Until Marriage policy may weaken the overall curriculum,” she said. However, Quigg said increasing the information available to teenagers regarding sex would only enhance their abilities to make wise, informed choices. The Board members were divided predominately over one word in the proposed curriculum: tolerance. Those who voted against revising the curriculum defined tolerance to mean that schools would be essentially condoning homosexuality. Board member Amy White said according to North Carolina law, homosexuality is technically illegal. In her opinion, tolerance implied acknowledging that a choice was wrong but turning a blind eye. ‘We were seeking to tolerate homosexual behavior,” she said. “Where do you draw the line? If we’re going to tolerate, we should tolerate people who rob banks. Let’s tolerate Hitler. Let’s tolerate Osama bin Laden.”

DEAL

D.E

THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, which sponsors events like “Fitness is Fun" at Durant Road Middle School, prompted the Wake County Board of Education to reevaluate its sex education programs.

However, Quigg maintained that tolerance was intended to stop harassment or bullying of others for any point of difference, such as homosexuality. “Tolerance doesn’t mean acceptance. It means respect of people different from you,” she said. Revision-supporter and Board member Jeff York said the whole controversy was solely a matter of wording. “They got caught up in the terminology,” he said of the opposing group. Even so, Quigg said the curriculum’s emphasis on tolerance is too brief to be worth fretting over. “The whole sex-ed curriculum is only 12 days out of the year,” she said. “Only one day is devoted to tolerance. I hardly think that will lead to a moral decline in our system.”

The Board left the decision to create an elective course for 10th through 12th graders about healthful living, which would require parental permission to enroll, up to the discretion of the School Administration. “In the absence of a specific Board action, our staff will continue to develop the electives,” Chip Sudderth, communications specialist for the Wake County Public School System, said. Sex education has been a topic of contention in Wake County since March when the School Health Advisory Council, made up of local medical professionals, recommended to the Board that the school See SEX EDUCATION on page 8

Council debates Iraqi program The U.N. Security Council discussed the necessity of extending the current humanitarian program in Iraq, which provides food and medicine to needy Iraqis. By EDITH LEDERER The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS Working against a midnight deadline, Security Council experts tried to reach final agreement Monday on a resolution to extend the U.N. humanitarian program in Iraq, with the United States pressing for a one-month renewal instead of the usual six months. Council diplomats said U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld wants the short extension so Washington can undertake a quick review of the list of goods that Baghdad must get UN. approval to import. China’s U.N. Ambassador Wang Yingfan, the current council president, said he told council members the oilfor-food program “must” be extended Monday. The program, funded by revenue from Iraqi oil sales, provides food, medicine and other humanitarian goods for Iraqis trying to cope with sanctions imposed after Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion ofKuwait. Under a new system adopted by the council in the summer to speed humanitarian deliveries, Iraq can purchase any humanitarian items except those that may have a possible military use. So-called dual-use items on a “goods review list” must be individually approved by the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against Iraq. Security Council experts had reached broad agreement late Friday on a draft resolution that would extend the humanitarianprogram for six months and review the list within 90 days. But diplomats said Rumsfeld was not satisfied with the 90-day review and wanted quicker action so Washington can add more items to the list. “There are still some questions that we have, but we’ll get it done,” U.S. deputy ambassador James Cunningham said Monday, without elaborating. Diplomats said France countered that if the United States pressed for the immediate reopening of the good review list, it would demand council action on a dispute over the pricing of Iraqi oil. Benon Sevan, who heads the humanitarian program, warned that a sharp drop in Iraqi oil revenues has undermined the benefits of the new system to speed humanitarian deliveries. He urged council members and Iraq to resolve a dispute over the pricing of Iraqi oil, which is one of the main causes of the reduction in Iraqi oil exports. Syria’s deputy U.N. ambassador Fayssal Mekdad opposed any change to the list, and it was unclear how Syria would vote Monday. Mekdad said it was “the worst time” to undertake a review of the humanitarian program because weapons inspections are about to return, and Baghdad faces the threat of “serious consequences” ifit does not cooperate.

SOPHOMORE KATIE McNABB discusses why Duke may be more segregated than other schools and what might be done to fix Duke’s racial divide at a forum Monday night in the Bryan Center.

Students discuss racial climate By ANDREW CARD The Chronicle

When asked to describe race relations at Duke, a small group of students emphasized a campus environment characterized by a lack of communication, interaction and understanding between different racial groups. Does the perception reflect Duke as it exists today, or as it was over a decade ago? A forum Monday night found the answer to be both. In a small group discussion in the Bryan Center’s Multicultural Center, sophomore Katherine Young used a decade-old segment of the popular television newsmagazine 60 Minutes to facilitate debate on race relations at Duke, past and present. Student participants quickly identified issues that they said have consistently served as racial barriers at Duke, and shared per-

spectives on causes and possible solutions. The segment, taped at Duke in 1993, depicted a omnipresent divide between black and white students on campus. “People who are similar naturally come together,” said a black student on the tape. “But the problem is larger here. The divide between whites and blacks is apparent everywhere you go.” Also in the segment, many minority students said they felt labeled as “quota fillers,” admitted as a result of affirmative action. Others emphasized the lack of interactionbetween predominantly white and black greek organizations, and the perception of Main West Campus as “white” and Central Campus as “black,” as major See RACE FOURM on page 8

HOLIDAY TRAVEL.... Prolonged check-in and security inspection processes during the holiday season can be attributed to increase in the number of passengers per flight, said Dunton. “Sometimes during the year the plane will only be 70 percent full, and now it will be more crowded,” she said. “Most airlines are telling their passengers to arrive at least two hours early, and we are also recommending passengers be aware of what they have in their bags.” RDU officials said the items that most commonly cause delays at security checkpoints are small, sharp objects in carry-on bags. Scissors and pocketknives are among the most commonly confiscated items, but tweezers, nail clippers and eyelash curlers are permitted. Although air travelers will not face stricter security measures than normal, Freuler said his office will dedi-

cate as much attention as possible to the roads this week. “All available officers will be out during the most traveled days,” Freuler said. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is also advising travelers to avoid major highways and take alternate routes whenever possible. Transportation officials emphasized the $250 penalty for speeding in work zones.

Promising peace talks emerge in Israel By MARK LAVIE

The Associated Press

JERUSALEM Israeli and Palestinian moderates are close to a draft peace treaty, but at least one potential deal-breaker remains unresolved: the fate of Palestinian refugees. Even if completed, the 40-page document would have largely symbolic value since those negotiating it are not in positions of real power. However, it could serve as a guideline in future formal negotiations. In the West Bank, Israeli troops shot and killed an 8-year-old boy Monday as Palestinian youths pelted tanks with rocks and bottles, defying an Israeli curfew order. Seven Palestinians were wounded. The emerging Israeli-Palestinian document is a result of meetings during much of the 26 months of violence. The key figure on the Israeli side is former Justice Minister Yossi Beilin,

ART from page 3 have done much of the coordination. The series consists of five scheduled events running the gamut from lectures on country music and war to multimedia presentations. A dance commemorating the inadvertent U.S. bombing of an Afghan church during a wedding—resulting in 50 deaths and about 100 injured, according to the Afghan government—kicked off the program Nov. 3. “The dance was a sort of communal remembering of an event that was try-

all the issues,” he said. But at least one sticking point remains—the fate of refugees. “If the Palestinians demand that there be a Palestinian right of return to Israel, there will be no agreement,” Beilin said. Beilin said the draft could be presented to both peoples to show that there is still hope for peace. However, neither side

believes the draft will be completed before Israel’s elections on Jan. 28. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who is running for re-election, has rejected the previous negotiations as a starting point, charging that Israel gave away too much. He would offer the Palestinians a truncated state after a long interim stage, an approach the Palestinians reject. In talks that broke off in January 2001, Israel offered the Palestinians a state in the Gaza Strip, most of the West Bank and a foothold in Jerusalem. The Nablus incident came as Israeli soldiers enforced a curfew on the city, with a population of about 200,000, including refugee camps on its periphery. Israeli forces have been in control of Nablus and other cities since a June invasion triggered by suicide bombings. Curfews are frequently enforced, but as. Israel charges that militant groups for attacks are centered there.

ing to express a certain empathy of innocent victims of war no matter where they are,” Silbiger said. The dance, which attracted approximately 75 people that included the musicians, drew Duke students of all levels of African dance, modern dance and ballet. The performance also had participants from the Durham School of the Arts, Carolina Friends School and ballet students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “We, as Americans, have a tendency to be so comfortable in our own country that we... shut [the tragedy] out. I

wanted to make it tangible. Let’s not forget that this happened,” said head choreographer M’Liss Dorrance, associate professor of the practice and director of undergraduate studies for the dance program. “People were really moved and really touched.” The program also hosted a lecture Nov. 15 about the role of war in the work of 20th-century artist Joseph Beuys. The next scheduled event is a photograph exhibition on Afghanistan from 1980 to 2002 that will run Jan. 331 in the John Hope Franklin Center gallery.

Beilin, who did not represent Labor in the talks, told Israel TV Monday that difficult issues were for the first time being discussed in detail. On the Palestinian side, the team was led by Information Minister Yasser Rabbo, who said he was initially only representing himself, but Sunday was given a more formal role by the Palestinian Authority.

not recommend. Currently, the institute offers a masters program and mid-career postgraduate diploma. During the most recent external review, the institute recommended creating joint doctorate programs with other already existing programs. The external review committee gave its support to the plan. The external review supported the

development of joint Ph.D. programs with other Duke graduate departments and believed it was an appropriate initiative for Sanford to pursue. Dean ofthe Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe said a joint degree program was a plausible, appealing option, but that it is not one of Sanford’s top priorities.

Earlier this month, Sanford leaders

spoke with Lewis Siegel, dean of the Graduate School, and other graduate department directors about the possible joint degree program. “We threw up our hands and told them they had to come up with a pro-

posal before we could consider it,” Siegel said. “They were very vague—l got the suspicion there must be some significant disagreement among their own faculty as to what [the joint program] would be.” Mayer predicted the program will

be more policy- than theoretically-oriented, and that Sanford will likely pair primarily with other departments in the Graduate School, like economics and political science, rather than with professional schools. Although they have not yet been involved in joint degree talks, representatives from various schools across

campus said they would be interested. A lot of the stuff is already in place so having a joint Ph.D. program with

Sanford would not be that different,” Nicholas School of the Environment Dean William Schlesinger said. Institute directors have also not decided yet whether the joint program would give two degrees or one joint degree. Currently, the Graduate School does not allow students to receive doctorates in two departments, though there are interdisciplinary degrees awarded. Although the institute does not yet know what type of students it will recruit, Mayer said a new program might not only enhance the experience of students already at Duke, but also attract students who would not otherwise attend the University. “It could recruit students who want to do a joint degree, who would perhaps hesitate to go into a straight public policy doctorate program,” Mayer said. The joint degree plan is more advantageous than a stand-alone doctorate plan because it requires less resources, gives students the benefits of both departments and provides students with a deeper understanding of another area of discourse, Mayer said. “The difficulty with a stand-alone Ph.D. in public policy is that in the marketplace you almost always have to show you have a deeper understanding in one of the traditional disciplines,” he said. However, most of Sanford’s graduate students will likely remain masters students, Sanford Director and Professor of Political Science Bruce Jentleson said. “Public policy is a field in which the masters degree will always be the

principle degree,” he said.

The United States has urged the inspectors to pursue their search vigorously and intrusively since the new Security Council resolution grants them sweeping powers to go anywhere at any time in search of banned weapons. “We have no doubt he does have weapons of mass destruction,” British Prime Minister Tony Blair said of Hussein at a news conference in London. “So let’s wait and see what he actually says” in the Dec. 8 report. Shortly after Blair spoke, the British Parliament voted to support the U.N. resolution on Iraq, while denying a motion to require legislative approval to deploy British troops. At a U.N. briefing Monday in New York, chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said that he warned Iraq that it must provide convincing evidence if it maintains that it has no illegal weapons programs. He said the inspectors would begin their work Wednesday and that he urged Iraq during in a meeting there last week to make a complete declaration and “to look into stores and stocks” to ensure that everything is reported.

In Paris, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and French President Jacques Chirac urged Iraq to cooperate fully with the inspectors. “It’s the only way to avoid a military conflict in the region,” Annan said. Chirac said Iraq has agreed to recognize the validity of the inspections. If the Iraqis fail to live up to their obligations, Chirac added, “all outcomes are possible.” Iraqi Vice President Taha Ramadan said Monday that Iraq would cooperate with the inspectors “to prove to the whole world the evil American plan that aims to dominate the region and serve the Zionist interests, not search for the socalled weapons of mass destruction.” The Iraqi government released a letter Sunday from Foreign Minister Naji Sabri to Annan protesting that parts of the U.N. resolution mandating the inspection mission could give Washington a pretext to attack his country. Sabri complained in particular that the resolution could turn “inaccurate statements [among] thousands of pages” of mandatory Iraqi reports into a supposed justification for military action. The United Nations established the inspection program in 1991 after a U.S.led coalition drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. The inspectors were to verity that Iraq had lived up to commitments to disarm contained in the cease-fire declaration that ended the Gulf War. US. and UN. officials maintained for years that Iraq sought to block inspectors and prevent them from carrying out their duties. Iraq accused the inspectors of misrepresenting their findings and of being little more than a cover for US. espionage. The inspections were suspended amid disputes over UN. access to sensitive Iraqi sites and Iraqi complaints of American spying.

problems. Current students from a variety of racial backgrounds concluded Monday that the issues raised on the tape remain the hot-button issues today. “I have been told to my face that I am a statistic, here to meet a quota,” said sophomore Traci Bethea, who is black. “But if you lash out in response, you play into the stereotype. If you keep quiet you justify the person who said it.” Lydia Watts, a freshman who is also black, said certain norms make interracial friendships more difficult than others. “Forming and maintaining friendships with members of different racial groups often proves challenging. My [white] friends didn’t see me as black. My white friends think, you’re not black,

you’re different. It’s like being stuck between a rock and a hard place,” Watts said. Several participants countered that efforts made on behalf of groups to make minority students more comfortable—such as

a weekend targeting incoming black students —may contribute to the racial divide by fostering an “us-versus-them” mentality. “I disagree with that sentiment,” Bethea said. “[Black student recruitment] weekend serves a important purpose for black students.” “For many of us, coming to Duke means that people at home no longer see us as

‘black,’” she added. As the debate progressed, the students concluded that the key to overcoming barriers and stereotypes lies in seeing people as individuals first, and group

members second. “When you really try to get to know someone, you see their personality, not their skin color,” said sophomore Katie McNabb. The participants emphasized that although racial issues have continued to be a problem at Duke and on college campuses across the nation, progress is not

out ofreach. “I don’t think that most individuals feel negatively toward other groups, but enough people who disagree don’t speak up,” Bethea said. Young, who organized the discussion as a part of a course in Women As Leaders, made clear that her intention was to provide students with a chance to learn from each another, so that more individuals would have the information and experience to speak their minds. “I was at a conference on race last week, and a black woman told me that I would never understand how she felt, or understand what she and her family had been put through,” said Young, who is white. “To a large extent, that may be the case, but organizing this forum allowed me to address the issue as best I could. This is something about Duke that has bothered me for a long time, and it needs to be improved.”

SECURITY from page 2 Bush also began filling other top posts in the department. He nominated Gordon England, a former military contracting executive who is the Navy secretary, to be Ridge’s deputy, and Asa Hutchinson, a former Republican congressperson from Arkansas who is the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, as undersecretary for border and transportation security. The birth of the department flowed from a bipartisan consensus following last year’s terrorist attacks that the nation needed to do more to protect its citizens at home. It will require the largest reshuffling of governmental responsibilities since the founding of the Defense Department after World War 11, a process sure to encompass turf

It will bring together nearly 170,000 workers from 22 agencies with widely varying histories and missions, from the Coast Guard and the Secret Service to the federal security guards in airports and the Customs Service. The goal is to improve security along and within the nation’s borders, strengthen the ability of federal, state and local authorities to respond to an attack, better focus research into nuclear, chemical and biological threats and more rigorously assess intelligence about terrorists. “The continuing threat of terrorism, the threat of mass murder on our own soil, will be met with a unified, effective response,” said Bush, who had at first resisted calls for creation

system’s Healthful Living curriculum should include comprehensive rather than abstinence sex education. Comprehensive sex education—used by both Durham and Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools—allows for more complete discussion of a wide range of issues like homosexuality and contraceptive use and requires a public hearing as well as school Board approval before it can be implemented. Although the school system denied the request to switch to comprehensive sex education and instead, recommended revising the

of the new Cabinet-level department and embraced them only after political pressure mounted last spring. “Dozens of agencies charged with homeland security will now be located within one Cabinet department with the mandate and legal authority to protect our people,” he said as he prepared to sign the bill in the East Room before an audience of Cabinet members, Republicans and Democrats from Capitol Hill and law-enforcement officials from around the country. “America will be better able to respond to any future attacks, to reduce our vulnerability and, most important, prevent the terrorists from taking innocent American lives.” But Bush also cautioned, “No department of government can completely guarantee our safety against ruthless killers, who move and plot in shadows.”

current curriculum, Board administrators held a public hearing Oct. 21 that attracted 600 concerned citizens. York said that while the hearing was unnecessary since a comprehensive sex education curriculum was no longer in the cards, the administration wanted to keep the public involved in the decision-making process. The dispute concluded Nov. 5 when the Board endorsed the staff’s recommendations to update the curriculum for grades 7-9, while still teaching Abstinence Until Marriage. The curriculum changes will be in place this spring, while the high school electives will be developed throughout the year to be implemented during the 2003-2004 school year.

Duhon shows off complete game Volleyball Head coach Mike Krzyzewski has been working on getting Chris Duhon to play more on the inside. His goals were fulfilled Monday, as the junior captain demonstrated a new willingness to penetrate into the lane, particularly in the first half of the game.

Foiv the second year in a row, the Duke volleyball team (24-9) made it into the semifinals of the ACC tournament only to be silenced in a hard fought game a step short of taking the

championship. After defeating Maryland (18-14) Friday night at Keefe Gymnasium in Atlanta, Ga., the Blue Devils fell in four games to No. 20 Georgia Tech (30-5), which eventually went on to win the championship. “We’re disappointed with the outcome but we have continued to get better as a team throughout the season,” head coach Jolene Nagel said, looking ahead with her squad for an opportunity to play in the NCAA championships next week. Duke started off the weekend showing just how much they have improved. The Blue Devils dominated all three

It sets up opportunities for my teammates. I’m just trying to go in there and make plays.” A defensive rebound by Duhon early in the game led to a fastbreak three to tie the score at seven apiece.

The women’s basketball team beat Tennessee this weekend at a neutral site, reaffirmed its place at the top of the country, took the day off and is headed to the Caribbean. But this trip is for business, not pleasure, Though the No. 1 Blue Devils might deserve a break after passing a momentous test against the No. 2 Vols Sunday, what sounds like the off-season is just the next battle for the team and its difficult non-conference schedule. Duke takes off for St. Thomas this morning to take on Hampton, Old Dominion and No. 16 Arkansas in the Paradise Jam Tournament at the University of the Virgin Islands. “The mark of a great .team is a team that plays well regardless of their opponent,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “So I think we’ll find out a lot about ourselves with three games in three days against tough competition. But with this team’s strength and leadership, I don’t think they’ll have their head in the clouds.” Although the 3 p.m. Thanksgiving day match-up with Hampton (1-0) stacks up evenly with the Blue Devils’ blowout of-East Carolina last Friday, the rest of the trip won’t be a walk on the beach with Wendy Larry’s storied ODU team and the up-and-coming Razorbacks ready to pounce.

The Monarchs (0-1) made their way to the Elite Eight in March but lost four starters and are coming off the heels of a loss to UVa in which they blew a lead with 10 minutes left to knock them out of the Top 25. Arkansas (2-0), on the other hand, heads south of the border with a full head of steam. Senior guard India Lewis and junior forward Shameka Christon match up well with Duke’s top two players, Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis, a duo the Blue Devils rode to victory Sunday. Duke blew out the Lady Backs by 21 in the NCAA Tournament two years ago, avenging a bitter loss in March of 1998. “We have a really good rivalry going,” Goestenkors said.“Not only do they have two strong players, but the freshman, Ruby Vaden, we tried really hard to sign her, so I think this is the best team [Arkansas head

coach Gary Blair] has had.” Some say the same of Goestenkors herself, with a deep roster showing off quick maturing against Tennessee, which slipped to fourth in Monday’s polls. Although freshman point guard Lindsey Harding and sophomore center Wynter Whitley outplayed their starting counterparts with inspired minutes off the bench Sunday, the coach insisted she was comfortable with her current starting lineup. “They gave us great intensity and a spark off bench,” she said, “but I’m not looking to make any changes right now.”

Duke women place 17th Freshmen power XC to solid performance at NCAA finals; Bierbaum named All-American By PAUL CROWLEY The Chronicle The women’s cross-country team enjoyed their best finish ever at a national championship on the strength of a quintet of freshmen scorers at the NCAA Cross Country Championships Monday, placing 17th in the nation. Although Duke’s male team did not earn an invitation to the season ending NCAA’s, team member Chris Williams competed as an individual, and garnered a 49th-place finish. The women’s finish placed the 14th ranked Blue Devils roughly in the middle of a 31-team field. They earned 475 points with an average scoring time of 21:23.4 seconds. The national title went to perennial

powerhouse Brigham Young, whose fleetfooted scoring five collected only 85 points. The individual winner was North Carolina junior Shalane Flanagan, whose 19:36 set a new course record on the 6,000-meter LaVem Gibson Course in Terre Haute, Ind. Duke’s first finisher was freshman Caroline Bierbaum, whose 20:32.3 time gave her a 34th-place finish overall and a spot on the All-America team. Bierbaum is only the third Duke woman to be named to the team; current senior Sheela Agrawal, who did not run this year, has been awarded the honor three times. Bierbaum’s team standing, her place among runners competing as part of a team and not including competitors unattached to a squad, was 23rd.

Bierbaum was followed by classmates Clara Horowitz and Shannon Rowbury. Horowitz ran a speedy 21:09.7 to gamer 64th place in the team standings, and Rowbury’s 21:25.9 put her at 95th. Two more East Campus residents rounded out the Blue Devil scoring. Sally Meyerhoff and Laura Stanley clocked in at 21:46.1 and 22:02.7, respectively. The pair’s individual places were 131st and 162nd. Sophomore Phebe Ko and junior Heidi Hullinger were Duke’s final two finishers, and the only upperclassmen to represent the women’s team. Ko crossed the line at 22:06.3, and Hullinger shortly after, at 22:18.4. This was the first trip to NCAAs for all of the Duke runners, and each will return next year in the hopes of a repeat trip. Williams finished 59th overall in the men’s race, where 255 runners competed. His 30:48.5 time was his best of the year and an impressive capstone to a year when he was plagued by injuries. “Chris wanted to be All-American, but it wasn’t do-or-die,” said teammate Nick Schneider. “If he’d been healthy, then there’s no doubt he’d have been [an All-American].”

The men’s team was not awarded a bid to the championships, but Williams was awarded an automatic individual bid based on his performance at the

regional qualifiers.

Williams was the fourth individual finisher from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

KATIE GILMAN (left) AND SARAH SALEM helped Duke advance into the ACC Tournament semifinals

VOLLEYBALL from page 9 in Game 1. In the second and third games, Duke’s offense matched their defense, led by freshman Sarah Salem who finished the match with 10 kills. “We did a good job maintaining our intensity throughout the match,” Nagel said, who had been wary about the team’s consistency in their last matchup against Maryland. Friday night’s win took the Blue Devils to the semifinal match against

UCLA from page 1 This time around, when No. 6 Duke and No. 14 UCLA square off Saturday Nov. 30 at 1 p.m. in Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis as part of this season’s Wooden Tradition, neither team’s season will be on the line, both are facing—by their astronomical program standards—relative rebuilding seasons, and both are led by a pair of older players looking to come into their own. “They have a great team,” Blue Devil junior Chris Duhon said. “They’re different from the last time we played them. They don’t have Earl Watson and Dan Gadzuric, but I know they have a great point in Cedric Bozeman and they have [Jason] Kapono so they’re going to be a team that’s really good.” While Duhon and Bruin leading scorer Kapono are the only two impact players returning from the game in Philadelphia, both Bozeman and Duke’s Dahntay Jones are primed for breakout seasons—and a big game on national television could be just the place to make them household names. In the end, Duhon should matchup with Bozeman while Jones will most likely be isolated on Kapono, but the Blue Devils say they haven’t worked out all the kinks in their game plan. “We haven’t looked at UCLA so we don’t know much about them, but we know they are a good team and they will be ready to play us,” Jones said. Krzyzewski agreed, saying he could not comment directly on UCLA because he had not even begun to study tapes since he was focusing on Duke’s game with Davidson.

Georgia Tech, which entered the tournament ranked second. Although Duke fell to Georgia in three games, the Yellow Jackets had a hard time pulling out a victory. The first game was pushed to 33-31. Duke even dominated Game 3, winning with the greatest point spread (30-17) out of the four games. But, in the end, the Yellow Jackets’ power hitter, Lynette Moster, led her team’s offense to a dominating position and pulled out a win in a deciding fourth game to complete a 33-31, 30-26,17-30, 30-20 victory.

“I don’t even know who they start,” he said. One of the biggest factors for Duke, however, could be which Jones shows up. If it is the Jones that lit up the preseason, leading the Blue Devils in scoring in their seven exhibitions, then the Bruins could be in for a rough night. But, if Jones plays the way he did against Davidson, scoring only nine points and getting into foul trouble early, the Blue Devils will have to rely on their inside game and get tight wing defense from another source. “UCLA’s going to be a huge game for us,” freshman Shavlik Randolph said. “We can use [the Davidson game] as a learning tool and look at the things we did wrong and improve. In the big picture it’s going to be more positive than negative for us when we face UCLA.” After a rougher game against the Wildcats than many expected, Duke will take today off before going to the drawing board for the contest against the Bruins. Following Monday’s contest Krzyzewski said that his young team needed to work on its inside play and not force the ball into a double team, but rather find the open man on the outside. Regardless of the next few practices, all ofthe team is aware that they cannot make the same type of mistakes they did against the Wildcats and expect to beat a top-15 program. “They’re a great basketball team and a great basketball program and they have been that way for years,” Duhon said. “So we’re excited to see a game like that on our schedule. It should be a good game, we’ll get a

chance to find out the type of team we are.”

COMMENTARY from page 9 trated to the basket for a layup. “This gave us the opportunity to play in a pressure situation and to see how we would overcome it,” Duhon said. “We did a great job.” In the middle of the first half, Dockery came in at the one spot, allowing Duhon to immediately become more of an offensive threat. Duhon hit a three with 11:50 on the clock off a Dockery assist to put the Blue Devils up 21-20. The junior attributed his offensive performance to Dockery. “He was probably the best player on the court tonight,” Duhon said. “He led this team and he hit the big shots. He’s a good player. He did everything he could.” Shavlik Randolph agreed that the presence of the freshman allowed

Duhon to free himself on the offensive end of the court. “Tonight we needed some pressure to be taken off Chris so that he could open up his offense,” Randolph said. “Sean did a great job of that.” With just over eight minutes left in the half, Duhon again assisted a fastbreak dunk, this time by Daniel Ewing, that gave Duke a 36-32 lead. Entering into halftime, the captain had 11 points and six assists, and was 4-for-7 in field goal shooting. When the Blue Devils found their lead shrinking, the captain stepped up and found his way to the basket, be it himself or through an assist. Early in the second half, Shelden Williams stole the ball from Davidson’s Michel Lusaku and passed it to Duhon for another fastbreak layup, to give Duke 58 points and a 10 point lead. Duhon assisted a third dunk when

he found Shavlik Randolph in the key with 7:45 remaining in the game. The freshman spoke confidently about his captain’s assertive play. “I’m not surprised in the least,” Randolph said. “Chris does whatever we need to do for this team to win, that’s what makes him preseason conference player of the year. He stepped up so much. When we were on the ropes, he kept on helping us keep a bigger lead. They were taking away shots so he penetrated and he made some huge buckets.” With just over three minutes to play, Duhon penetrated to the basket for a layup that once again allowed Duke to maintain a 10-point lead over Davidson. His teammates acknowledged his greater presence inside the paint, which was necessary in the situation of this game.

tay Jones, missed a layup, but Shelden Williams grabbed the loose ball and went up for the putback, only to miss again—a problem Krzyzewski said his team had all night. Davidson guard Peter Anderer then threw the ball out of bounds, but after killing another half-minute, Chris Duhon’s three rattled out. Ten seconds later Wildcat Wayne Bernard, who led all scorers with 28 hit a jumper, pulling the Wildcats within six, 86-80. The ’Cats then went into foul mode and after Redick’s l-for-2 performance—he said that the missed shot “felt better” than the one he made—Davidson traded misses as Duhon, who came within two rebounds of a triple-double, racking up 20 points, 10 assists and eight boards, and Randolph came through at the line. “They were kicking our butts inside,” Randolph said. “They were ready for us and it took us a while to respond, and it was very difficult to defend. They got a

“That’s just the way the game went,” Jones said. “They were pressuring him a lot and he had to make them respect that part of his game for our offense to open up and be able to get to our shooters.”

Duhon’s aggressiveness continued up through the final minutes, as the junior scored six of his points in the final 3:01, including four of Duke’s nine free throws after the 1:03 mark. Perhaps his strong offensive performance will become the norm as the season progresses. “I’m just trying to be a basketball player and make reads,” Duhon said. “I’m not just going to rely on shooting my jumper. I’m just going to take what the defense gives me and I know when I penetrate, guys are going to have to respect me, so I’m either going to get points for myself or set up my

teammates.”

high percentage of shots. They played a great game We didn’t think it was going be as close as it was.” The Blue Devils were plagued most of the night by foul trouble and turnovers inside. Jones, who had led Duke offensively both in its games in London and earlier scrimmages in Cameron, found himself on the bench with four fouls with less than three minutes gone in the second half. Meanwhile the Blue Devils kept forcing the ball inside, where Duke big men accumulated both fouls and turnovers. By the end of the night Randolph had three fouls and centers Casey Sanders and Williams

both tallied four.

“Obviously if there’s a double or triple team there’s somebody open, and obviously we didn’t take that route,” Krzyzewski said. “You know in New York City when you’re going over the Triboro Bridge and there are a number of tollbooths. I always go to the one on the outside with the least cars.... I take the easiest route. Tonight we looked for the one that had like 30 cars in it and we said ‘damn it I’m paying my toll at this tollbooth,’ and we did, to the tune of about 21 turnovers.”

Edwards’s education policy

is the rare and welcome occasion that a politician will take a stand for more accessible education and actually back up the words with substantive, realistic proposals. Last week, John Edwards did just that. The possible Democratic presidential contender in 2004 and soonto-be senior U.S. senator from North Carolina, Edwards laid out several specific policy measures. When he formally introduces them as legislation, these measures should form the baseline for efforts to make college more affordable. Recognizing that many Americans need more financial assistance than is currently available—or, at least, greater knowledge and access to what is already there—Edwards proposes a free first year of public college tuition, incentives for certain fields of study, restructuring federal loans and several other ideas that are a welcome change to a debate that often lacks new ideas. The most welcome change Edwards proposed is streamlining the federal student-loan program. By eliminating a $2 billion annual subsidy to the banking industry, the government will save money without students seeing much of a difference. One only wishes that Edwards would go a step further and eliminate or consolidate some of the difficult financial forms that the federal program now requires. The proposal to offer free tuition to students who are interested in teaching and homeland security careers would likely improve the pool ofcandidates for jobs in those fields. Edwards’s idea of financing the first year of tuition for public colleges would also, in theory, improve accessibility by removing the “sticker shock” of a college education. As it stands, however, the proposal could simply be a tease to those who need financial aid, leaving them high and dry after their first year. A more sensible adjustment of the proposal would give a more modest tuition break for four years. Many opponents of Edwards’s plan will point to its price tag as an excuse not to implement its various proposals. However, in some ways the plan pays for itself—by, for example, streamlining the student-loan program—and the balance really would not be very expensive considering the benefits of higher education and how much other federal programs cost. The knee-jerk reaction of some politicians to oppose any government spending ignores the existence ofreal problems that real Americans face. Solutions to these problems often require a commitment ofresources, even if thqse resources must come from other areas ofthe budget or increased revenue streams. Of course, when he formally submits his plan for Congressional approval, Edwards should be sure to specify exactly how the people will pay for it. Edwards, himself the first person in his family to attend college, makes an ideal spokesperson for greater access to higher education, Whether that ability translates into future political success is too early to say, but he has certainly begun to articulate a vision.

Past U.S. military actions shows desire for oil In his Nov. 22 column, Nathan Carleton asked, “Who is advocating an exchange of blood for oil?” Considering that Iraq, the second-most oil-rich nation in the world, is being threatened by the most oilhungry nation in the world and that leading this charge are President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, two men who can only be described as oil tycoons, to claim this is not about oil is preposterous. It is clear that the government is prepared to trade the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians for the installation of a U.S. friendly dictator and control of Iraqi oil. If that logic still escapes you, see past U.S. actions in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan for more details. The anti-war movement encompasses not only people

with the view that Carleton as appropriately patriotic—pragmatic fears about the political consequences of war—but also

accepts

those with equally pragmatic concerns about the impact of war upon civilians. All these views are necessary to

have an informed and valid perspective and a reasonable debate. Saddam Of course Hussein needlessly hurts the Iraqi people, but so does the United States through its support ofineffective economic sanctions that have already killed more than

500,000 children—hence the question, “how many kids

did you kill today?” The answer is certainly not zero. We do not think that all those who favor war are mean-spirited, but many are refusing to consider the

United States’s real motivations for taking action against Saddam Hussein. The United States willingly supports dictatorships guilty of human rights violations when it serves our interests to do so: current examples exist in Chechnya and the West Bank. History suggests that our motives in this policy are in no way humanitarian or altruistic. Certainly none of us want to see thousands ofinnocent civilians die as they did on Sept 11. Some of us simply want that safety to extend to all citizens of the world, not only those who happen to reside in the United States. Emily

N.C. Red Cross chapter thanks Duke donors As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, family and friends gather to give

thanks for their good fortune over the past year. The Central North Carolina chapter of the American Red Cross would like to thank its family and friends as well. Thousands of volunteers and members of our community have given their time, talents and generosity over the past year to those in dire need. As a result, the Central North Carolina chapter was able to provide disaster relief to victims and help save the lives of many local patients in need of blood

products. Last week, students, faculty and staff collected 174 pints of blood at the two-day Bryan Center blood drive. An additional 34 pints were collected at a combined

Duke

Law

School

and

Fuqua blood drive. Since each pint can be broken into three different lifesaving blood products, as many as 624 lives may be touched by the Duke community. With your donations, we taught community members life-saving skills in CPR, first aid and using an exter-

nal defibrillator. We also taught children how to swim, educated your neighbors about the dangers of

HIV/AIDS and connected local military families with loved ones overseas.

None of this would have

been possible without the generosity of the Duke Red Cross Club and the many Duke volunteers. It is your continued commitment to providing warmth and sup-

port to other members of our community for which we

at the Central North Carolina chapter Red Cross are so thankful. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and know that you have truly made a positive difference this year.

IFC should not comment on SAE and Kappa Sigma In the last week, Jared Newman the and Interfratemity Council have made some rather disparaging comments about the brothers of former Kappa Sigma fraternity and of former Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. In addition to having their recruitment and pledging chair write a column that discouraged freshmen from participating in our rush process, it has come to our attention that the IFC distributed flyers on East Campus expressing a similar sentiment. We would like to publicly state that we do not have a problem with on-campus IFC fraternities and will not discourage freshmen from particHttp:

ipating in theirrush process, We also think that IFC

fraternities are generally a positive force at Duke. However, IFC fraternities don’t have a monopoly on a commitment to brotherhood, participation in intramural sports or service to the community, and we do not think affiliation with a national organization guarantees any of those things. We participate in the aforementioned activities and promote the ideals of a brotherhood that bond us for life. We strongly believe that off-campus fraternities can thrive and be a positive force at Duke. We want freshmen to join organizations that are a good fit for

them, and we don’t understand why the IFC feels the need to publicly smear us or discourage freshmen from exploring all of the options open to them. We invite freshmen to participate in both IFC and offcampus fraternity rush and choose the groups that are the best fit for them. That being said, we wish the IFC the best of luck in their recruitment efforts and hope that they will henceforth respond in kind.

Seasons may change Hooray! A semester in Australia, here I come! Warm days full of sun and plenty of adventure to fill that time! Then I stepped out of Sydney airport on July 19, greeted first by a man in a parka, then by a cold gust of southern Australia winter wind. Thankfully, Sydney was not my des__, tination that day.

Jumping into a pool full of strangers who on the surface are similar to Americans—as Australia often acts as our little brother—yet when trying to touch the bottom I realized it was the deep end. Things are different down here; lifestyle, language and food to name a few. It took me a month to realize I really liked the place and erase any regrets over leaving Duke.

sakes somehow hold a special place in our hearts, and we carefully guard them to preserve our thoughts. This time will be different. I will leave Australia and New Zealand without taking more than what I’ve gotten along the way. Items that I bought more out of necessity than as souvenirs include; two shirts, a beer stein from Oktoberfest and a wine tasting glass. I did not acquire the Australian beer gut (though not for lack of effort), but the Queensland sun did give me a pink nose and a decent tan. Even they will fade with time. What then am I left with from these six fantastic months abroad? Pictures, of course, the massive amounts of photos will entertain and occupy my parents while I sleep off jet lag. Yet even these will not do justice to the experiences I’ve had. I now realize however that no possession in the world can take away my adventures and friendships.

awakening feelings never before roused. I will leave here having met some of the quirkiest people imaginable, the type that do not inhabit the Gothic Wonderland. These are not merely Australians, but also Americans that I will stay in touch with and hopefully see someday, though our future meeting is not set in stone. For now though, I return to Duke University for another second semester. Knowing that friends, save a select few, enter life for but a very short time, but these relationships are nevertheless life’s only real souvenirs. It’s funny how life, like a dismal Chicago Cubs season, repeats itself almost as a pure circle. The uncertainty I faced months ago returns, though with the same anticipation. I leave extraordinary friends and a comfortable place returning to a place that while it is familiar will seem different, along with those whom I look forward to reuniting with. I have changed, but I am excited to see how much and how life repeats itself. It’s winter in Durham. Kevin Ogorzalek is a Trinity junior. His column appears every other Tuesday.

Exciting stuff. And the post-game was like any was mostly overreaction by police to a bunch of kids who wanted to have a little fun. It was a lowering of other ordinary day—ordinary day in Chechnya. Washington State fans pelted Washington players the standards, citing the “stupid drunk student” rule and fans with bottles, coins and trash. Riots at that excuses the passionate reaction that American Clemson left a young girl and an old police officer college students have to football. (The same is true in injured.

spliced into a nifty videotape running with police scanner audio. Even though Duke has had a rather timid past—and an even more timid present—a lot of schools use Duke’s Cameron Crazies as justification for their un-sportsmanlike conduct, but they fail to draw the line between cleverness and rowdiness. (Insert elitist, state-school joke here.) But where does bad sportsmanship start? A friend who has a young son told me that at junior league soccer games, during the post-game high-five procession, one team had spit on their hands before slapping hands. The kids did not think of that themselves—it was their fathers, it was their coaches or it was from watching or hearing about some group of rowdy older students acting in similar ways. The sportsmanship problem is just like other crimes—as Rudy Giuliani taught us in New York, the way to fight big crime is to punish the smaller offenses and offenders before they try something greater. No one is arguing for strictness that leads to a police state, but take it from this former little league umpire—someone needs to punish these kids early and sternly, because the escalation from spitballs to brutality is quick. None of this will make any part of football or basketball any less fun. Again, note the Cameron Crazies. So, get drunk, be merry. Cleverly taunt. Tear down the goalposts if the school will let you (and you can tell if the school will let you, because they will not have a squadron of police officers surrounding the field if goalpost removal is endorsed). But save the thuggery for the gridiron—don’t sour your team’s accomplishments with immaturity. Martin Barna, Trinity ’O2, is a former editorial page editor for The Chronicle.
