Community thaws its way out of storm damage More than half of Durham residents remain without power By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

The snow and freezing rain had stopped falling and temperatures were climbing out of the freezing range by midday Thursday, but for many Durham residents, the worst had just begun. Wednesday’s ice storm caused massive damage to power lines, leaving over a million North Carolinians without electricity. Durham was hit especially hard—about 95 percent of households were without power right after the storm. City and county officials responded quickly, providing emergency services and setting up shelters for cold citizens. In addition, Gov. Mike Easley dispatched the North Carolina National Guard Saturday to assist residents in the state’s hardest-hit areas. Guardsmen knocked on 1,200 doors in Durham to ensure that residents were okay. The city and county declared a state of emergency Thursday night—including a driving curfew and a ban on al-

cohol sales. The curfew banned citizens from

driving between the hours of 5 p.m. Thursday night to 6 a.m. Friday morning and was again in effect Friday and Saturday nights, beginning at 10 p.m. “We kept it in place because we still felt that people should use extreme caution at night,” said said Deborah Craig-Ray, Durham County’s See DURHAM on page 6

Duke provides shelter for Durham residents following ice storm By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

With its own electricity supply secure this weekend, the University served as an oasis and a refuge to off-campus students, Durham residents, city employees and faculty and staff who were left without power following last Wednesdays severe ice storm. From a special needs shelter in the Intramural Building to hot meals for storm cleanup crews, the University opened its doors to the community as its own students and faculty coped with the aftermath of the storm just days before final exams were set to begin.

Although more than 100,000 Durham residents were left without power, the Universitys electricity was unaffected because it is connected to the power grid that provides energy to Duke Hospital—a supply that is almost impossible to shut down, officials said. Only the Washington Duke Inn, the Primate Center and a few otherbuildings on the periphery lost power, and some of those were still connected to generators to keep operations running. The American Red Cross authorized Duke to open the IM Building Friday and Saturday to serve as a special needs shelter. University officials, volunteers and

doctors provided more than 30 Durham residents—most of whom had illnesses with cots to sleep on, medical assistance, hot food courtesy of Dining Services and basketball tickets for children to attend the men’s game versus Michigan. “Everyone was doing whatever they could to help and all of our guests were treated wonderfully,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. Burness said the University also provided meals for the city’s 100-member storm cleanup crew, vans to transport —

Campaign shoots for SSOM more Two seniors win Rhodes awards By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

University fundraising officials are looking forward to a generous holiday season to boost The Campaign for Duke closer to its $2 billion goal, but they say it will not likely top that goal before February. Current funds pledged sit at $1.9496 billion, about $50.4 million short ofthe overall goal originally targeted for December 2003, according to numbers released by the Office of University Development this weekend. Peter Vaughn, director of communications and donor relations, said that at the current pace and barring any very large gifts, Duke will break the goal in early February. Vaughn noted, however, that even when the $2 billion is reached, there will likely be areas still left unfulfilled.

CHICAGO United Airlines plans to file Monday for federal bankruptcy court protection, a source close to the company said Sunday. The Chapter 11 filing would be the largest airline bankruptcy in U.S. history, and one of the nation’s largest bankruptcies ever. The filing would put a federal judge in charge of overseeing the tangled financial affairs of United, which owes nearly $1 billion in overdue debt payments that would use up most of its remaining cash. United has been unable to stop more than two years of swelling losses and was rejected last week in a plea for a federal loan guarantee. A United spokesperson did not immediately return calls Sunday night, including several made to an afterhours pager. The airline declined comment earlier Sun-

Union leaders have told their members a bankruptcy filing is imminent and unavoidable, and CEO Glenn Tilton has told employees it was becoming “a more likely outcome.” The airline has pledged to keep flying under Chapter 11. A spokesman for United’s pilot union urged passengers Sunday not to abandon the airline if it files for bankruptcy. “We’re going to be flying airplanes, today, tomorrow, next week and next year,” pilots spokeperson Herb Hunter said. “We don’t want people to give up on us, because we’re going to come through this.

Dole prepares to begin Senate career Ice storm postpones agenda By RUTH CARLITZ The Chronicle

The day before students return to Duke in January, another class will be reassembling in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Senate will reconvene Jan. 7 at noon with a new Republican majority and 10 freshman senators, including Republican Senator-elect Elizabeth Dole representing North Carolina. Dole spent last week participating in an orientation on Capitol Hill, where she and the other new members—seven other Republicans and two Democrats —learned about the Senate’s seniority system, personal security, handling classified information and Senate plans for continuing operations in the event of a terrorist attack or other

emergency. Dole will replace fellow Republican Jesse Helms, who has served in the Senate for 30 years. Helms’ departure has been both celebrated and lamented, but some expect the transition from Helms to Dole not to be substantially significant. Ted Arrington, professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, said the major difference between Dole and Helms is one of style, not substance. “She’s not an in-your-face politician, [she’s] not a racist,” he said. “She certainly isn’t someone North Carolina will be ashamed of as has been the case

with Helms.” But he added, “In terms of the way she votes, there wouldn’t be a 5 percent difference [from Helms.]” Arrington said Dole may work better than Helms with North Carolina’s

now-senior senator, Democrat John

Edwards.

“They might be able to work out

some agreements for judicial appointments,” he said, citing an issue that was often a sticking point between Helms and Edwards. “Her style is to get along. Helms’ style was to be Dr. No and to just draw a line in the sand and say, ‘This is what I’m going to do.’” Dole stressed during her campaign

Trustee discussions on athletics, grade inflation and several other issues will have to wait until next year, after extreme weather conditions forced the Board of Trustees to cut short its meeting this weekend. Only about half of the Board’s 37 voting members actually made it to Durham, due to transportation difficulties. Many of those who did come faced problems with living arrangements, as most stayed in the Washington Duke Inn, which had lighting and hot water but no heat. Trustees held only two meetings of the weekend’s full schedule of events. The Building and Grounds Committee and the Business and Finance Committee met in a joint session Friday morning, and Board members gathered in a plenary session that afternoon. The Trustees’ only public action involved three planned construction projects. They gave final approval to a $22 million, 4,7,000 square-foot addition to the Divinity School that will include a new 315-seat chapel, named for the late W. Kenneth Goodson, a former Trustee, as well as a bishop in the United Methodist Church. The addition will also have offices, classroom space, a bookstore, a preaching and worship lab, and prayer room. “This additional space will make a profound difference in enabling people See TRUSTEES on page 6

Schneider memorial to be held Tues. From staff reports A memorial service will be held for Maggie Schneider Tuesday afternoon in Duke Chapel at 12:30 p.m. Schneider, a junior biology major, died Wednesday afternoon following injuries sustained in an auto accident the previous Saturday. A native ofSt. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, Schneider was studying at the Marine Lab this fall. She was returning there with two of her friends last Saturday night when a drunk-driver lost control of his vehicle and slammed into her vehicle and another car. At Duke, Schneider had been an active member ofthe Project WILD wilderness organization, and was an avid runner, serving as treasurer of the Duke Roadßunners. Schneider was also involved in Wilderness Opportunities for Durham Students, and worked at the Primate Center. Friends at Duke had held a vigil for Schneider last Monday night and held an impromptu memorial last Wednesday night following her death. Schneider is survived by her parents, Dave Schneider and Barbara Mayer. Several memorial events were held at the Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort, N.C. over the weekend. Mayer said Sunday night that anyone who wished to send letters to the family could send them to their home address: 20 Reeves Place, St. John’s, NFLD, Canada, AIBIJ4. She said that the family had not set up any memorial scholarship yet, but that donations could be made in her daughter’s memory to WOODS. Cards and messages for Schneider’s family can also be sent to: Duke University Marine Laboratory, 135 Duke Marine Lab Road, Beaufort, NC 285169721, in care of Belinda Williford.

AN UPROOTED TREE sits in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. The gardens were hit hard by the ice storm Wednesday and officials estimate it will take from four to five weeks for the gardens to be safe enough to walk through.

Gardens sustain heavy ice damage By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

It was a classic battle of Mother Nature vs. Mother Earth. When last week’s icy winter storm pummeied through the Triangle, it left in its wake a ravaged Sarah P. Duke Gardens. Officials estimate that the clean-up in the gardens after the worst storm damage in its history could take as many as five or six weeks. “It’s worse than Hurricane Fran. It’s the worst ice storm anyone here has ever experienced,” said Greg Nace, associate director of horticulture for the gardens. “We’ve seen damage in the gardens before, but nothing on this scale.” About a half dozen trees were downed under the weight of more than an inch of ice, including a towering oak on the south lawn. Hundreds of other branches also fell.

“It is still going to be a dangerous situation for probably a good four or five weeks,” he said. “We prefer people not walk through the gardens right now.” Nace said one of the grounds staff’s first priorities will be to try to open a path between Central Campus and Flowers Drive. The gardens have been closed since Thursday as concerns mounted about the many “widow makers”—loose branches hanging in trees that could fall to the ground at any moment. Nace noted that the lack of strong wind has helped the situation, but that, “things are still coming down.” The University will hire a professional tree crew to climb trees and cut out the widow makers. Those professionals will accompany a group of 10 regular grounds staff, who will start sweeping through the gardens today.

“Oak trees were especially hit because they still had the leaves on the trees and they collected a lot more weight than they could handle,” Nace said. He added that the tops of pine trees also suffered greatly, and because pines can’t regenerate, crews will need to cut down about 50 and perform major tree

surgery on many others. Nace explained that the clean-up process will be very slow. “A lot of the trees are under tension because of the ice, so cutting the branches and working with chainsaws is very dangerous,” he said.

Crews will place the collected debris into a staging area, where some will be chipped and others will be hauled out by contractors. “We can’t expect to put it at the side of the road, and have the city pick it up,” Nace joked.

CRIME BRIEFS From staff reports

Graffiti slurs reported Between 4 p.m. Nov. 30 and 12:25 p.m. Dec. 1, someone vandalized the Duke Primary Care & Specialty Service building, located at 6301 Herndon Rd., by spraypainting graffiti on three different areas. The words “Arabs Niggers & Jews go home” were written on the building, causing an estimated $2,500 worth of damage. Maj. Robert Dean ofthe Duke University Police Department said there were no suspects and that he did not know if the graffiti was targeted or random.

Bullet holes found An employee reported that between 5 p.m. Dec. 3 and 7:50 a.m. Dec. 4, someone damaged two windows in the Hospital’s North Pavilion. In room 1152, there was a bullet hole in the exterior window but not the interior window. The window in room 1153 had a bullet hole through both windows. Both projectiles were re-

covered. The rooms were not occupied at the time the damage occurred.

Laptop stolen

A student reported that between 11 and 11:30 a.m. Dec. 3, someone stole his unprotected $2,000 Dell Inspiron serial laptop computer, number W8LMP5414993, and $2OO Sprint cellular phone. The items were in cubicle 270 of the law school library.

Electronics taken

Between midnight and 11 a.m. Dec. 2, while a student’s vehicle was parked in the Edens Lot at Towerview Drive and Wannamaker Road, someone cut the $lOO convertible right side window and stole his $3OO CD player, 60 CDs worth $9OO, $lOO Belkin radar detector and caused $lOO damage to the center console and $3O damage to the center light fixture.

Glasses taken A visitor reported that between 5:30 and 10 a.m. Dec. 6, she was sleeping on a hallway bench just outside 5100 Duke North. She had placed her $lOO gold-colored wire rim eyeglasses on the table beside her. When she awoke, she noticed the glasses were no longer there.

CD player stolen While a student’s vehicle was parked at 215 Anderson St. between 6 p.m. Dec. 4 and 1 p.m. Dec. 5, someone broke out the $75 right rear window and stole his $2OO CD player.

Crime briefs are compiled from Duke University Police Department reports. Anyone with knowledge about those responsible for these or other crimes at the University can contact Lt. Davis Trimmer at 684-4713 or Durham CrimeStoppers at 683-1200.

CAMPAIGN from page 1 The Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, the Fuqua School of Business and the athletics program are the next three divisions that should break their individual goals—all are within 3 percent or less. “Some schools may very well go over in the next few weeks,” Vaughn said. “Generally, giving is heavy at the end of the calendar year, because of tax purposes.” Two divisions—the Pratt School of Engineering and the School of Law —surpassed their individual goals in July. The remaining divisions are all within 10 percent oftheir goals, except for the University library system, which, without a specific alumni base, is 15 percent off its $4O million target. Dollar wise, Arts and Sciences is the furthest away, some $3l million short of $4OO million. The Medical Center, which had the largest goal, only needs $lB million more to hit $6OO million. “We’ll be very happy when we make it [to $2 billion], but there is still a year to go in the Campaign,” Vaughn said. “It’s a little like the Black Faculty

Strategic Initiative. We reached the goal for that a year before projected, but [our strategy does not change! and we continue to recruit minority faculty.” Vaughn also pointed to financial aid, faculty support and facilities as three components of the Campaign that still need help. Almost 84 percent of the nearly $1.95 billion pledged has been paid, Vaughn said, noting that although contributions have slowed during the current economic dip, the Campaign has not been greatly impacted. “We have never seen a huge dip,” he said. “It’s slowed, there’s no question, but even over the last two months [when the stock markets have started to rebound], I’ve personally seen very little difference.” When The Campaign for Duke officially began in 1998, administrators set an initial overall goal of $1.5 billion by the end of 2003. With the strong economy and early success of the Campaign, Trustees increased the goal to $2 billion in 2000. Development officials will continue to meet with donors over the coming months. For example, a donor dinner is scheduled in Chicago this month, and several more are planned for early 2003. Of the 20 universities in the nation with capital campaigns of more than $1 billion, Duke is one of five to set goals of $2 billion or more, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The University of Southern California has already surpassed its $2 billion goal by $568 million, while the University of California at Los Angeles, at $2.1 billion as of Oct. 31, is still about $3OO million short of its 2005 goal

of $2.4 billion. The Johns Hopkins University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are still in the early stages of their $2 billion campaigns. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is about a billion dollars short of its $l.B billion by 2007 target. With such capital campaigns, Duke and its peers are attempting to make up lost ground on some of the most-endowed schools in the nation, such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton universities, which, with their long histories, have amassed endowments of over $lB billion, $lO billion and $8 billion, respectively. Duke’s endowment stood at $2.37 billion at the end of the last fiscal year.

DURHAM from page 1 public information director. She added that the curfew was also a crime deterrent. “Without power, many of our businesses don’t have their security systems working and don’t have normal lighting,” she added. The curfew was lifted Sunday, but power company officials estimated that power would not be fully restored to Durham until midnight Wednesday. “This is unprecedented,” said Ellen Reckhow, chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners. “As I understand, we have never had such a severe power outage in Durham County.” Duke Power spokesperson Tom Shiel said the ice storm was the worst in the

company’s history. “Normally when you get a storm it has a focal point, a specific area that gets targeted,” he said. “But [this storm] hit us equally hard.... The devastation was just enormous.” More than 12,000 workers—including many from out of state —focused efforts on restoring power to vital services, such as police and fire stations, hospitals and water and sewage treatment. The power company then turned to private homes and businesses. As of 11 a.m. Sunday, approximately 33 percent of Durham households had their power restored. But as citizens scrambled to get warm with alternative heating devices, tragedy struck one Durham household. Epifanio Navarro died of carbon monoxide poisoning after bringing a small

charcoal grill into the bedroom he shared with his girlfriend and their baby, the Herald-Sun of Durham reported. Dozens more elsewhere in the city were sickened by toxic fumes. City and county officials worked to provide services to those still without power. “Our main priority has been health and safety,” Reckhow said. “We’ve been taking a lead role in getting shelters operating to serve people who wanted to

take refuge from the cold.” The county operated two shelters Sunday night—one at Jordan High School, offering services to people with special

health needs, and another at Hillside High School. Over the weekend, more than 600 people took advantage of the

six shelters throughout the city, CraigRay said. The number of shelters was

bished last year as part of a $37 million plan to improve West Campus’ oldest dorms over the next several years. The project will add air conditioning to the buildings, as well as renovate rooms and bathrooms. Trustees deferred action on the third project, an addition to the Washington Duke Inn that will add 100 guest rooms as well as additional public areas. The plan had earlier been projected to cost $25 million to $3O million, but the Board put off the idea for further study. The Board did get a chance to approve the more routine parts of its agenda, including faculty appointments

yesterday.

“As soon as we opened our doors yesterday, we had a full restaurant,” manager Lisa Kelly said. “People just magically knew we were open, and we haven’t slowed down since.” Durham Public Schools were closed Thursday and Friday, and officials canceled classes for today as well.

and other non-controversial items. Most of the Board’s other major agenda items will be delayed until May, said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations The Trustees are scheduled to devote their February meeting to a two-year review of the University’s current strategic plan, Building on Excellence. Provost Peter Lange said the truncated nature of this weekend’s meeting means the administration will need to spend more time over the next two months preparing the Board for the strategic plan’s review.

Elmo’s Diner on Ninth Street was forced to close when the power went out at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday and did not reopen until 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The outages meant the restaurant missed vital business Saturday morning, but it has been experiencing a surge since opening

Hurricanes Blue Devils cage Wolverines 81-59 end Duke’s Strong defense leads Duke to lopsided victory over winless Michigan By ROBERT SAMUEL

XI Although many houses were out of power 59 in the Durham area, I'M the powerhouse that is Duke basketball was in full form Saturday. Through a stifling defensive effort, the Blue Devils (5-0) dominated an overmatched Michigan team (0-6) 81-59. Following the theme of the season, Duke struggled early in the game before breaking it open. Duke’s shooting was as icy as the paths on campus. Finding themselves 3for-14 from the field with an 11-10 deficit with 12:47 to play in the first half, the Blue Devils went on an 8-0 run following a Shavlik Randolph layup, and normalcy appeared to return to Cameron. But like the X-Men character whose name Michigan shares, the Wolverines clawed back to cut Duke’s lead to 20-17 with 9:14 left in the first half. Still unable to find their shooting touch, the Blue Devils responded to Michigan’s gritty style with defense. Stymied by six first-half steals from Duhon, Michigan would score only eight more points in the half. “It was great to see our guys grow and put a lot of emphasis on the defensive end,” Duhon said. “We weren’t shooting the ball that well, but we were s till in the game.” The last two and a half minutes of the half looked like a Sports Center highlight Duke

Competing against the Hurricanes in Madison, Wise., the Blue Devils lost 30-25, 30-18, 30-20, after taking an early 16-8 lead in game one. “We were really disappointed with our performance,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We didn’t execute our game plan at a11.... We did things that were very uncharacteristic for us. We just weren’t ourselves out there, I can tell you that.” With the loss, Duke now stands at 59 in NCAA play. The Blue Devils have received three consecutive bids to the tournament. Last year they fell to USC in the second round after beating William and Mary. The performance was especially disappointing for a team that seemed to have so many things going for it. The Blue Devils had posted the school’s best win total since 1994.

After the shooting performance given by the women’s basketball team this weekend en route to winning the 15th annual Duke Women’s Basketball Classic, it is clear that the team really knows how to shoot the lights out. Just ask the Howard Lady Bison (07) and the St. Joseph’s Hawks (2-3). The No. 1 Blue Devils (7-0) stampeded the Lady Bison Friday night,

Blue Devils’ enormous talent too much for foes It took Howard head coach Cathy Parsons 40 minutes of basketball to find out what the Blue Devil women’s hoops team was missing Friday night: nothing. “They have no lack,” Parsons said. “We were outmanned tonight.” In Duke’s 128-53 trampling of the Lady Bison at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Parsons had plenty of opportunity to observe the Blue Devils firing on all cylinders. The team’s starting five dominated both ends of the court from the first tip, but the depth of the No. 1 Duke Paul CrowleyJ team kept Howard from ever getting —-—7 Gam Cottar, within striking dis tance in one of the most lopsided games in either program’s history.

MICHIGAN from page 9 reel: Duhon stole the ball to lead to an uncontested lay-up; Daniel Ewing forced a Michigan turnover which created a fastbreak that ended in an earthshattering one-handed dunk from Dahntay Jones; and another Duhon steal allowed a possession that included

a Sean Dockery layup, which brought the house down. Assigned to throw the ball in from out-of-bounds behind Duke’s backboard, Dockery passed the ball off an un-suspecting Michigan player’s back to himself for an uncontested reverse layup. The score at the half was 44-25, and Michigan had 19 turnovers. The Wolverines affirmed that they were no super heroes in the second half as the Duke dominance continued. Michigan started the half with four consecutive turnovers, and Duke continued to get easy shots. The Wolverines would commit only two more turnovers for the remainder of the game, but as Michigan head coach Tommy Amaker said, “It was only because [Duke] took offthe press.” The Blue Devils did not stop making highlights, though, as producers of sports news shows had much to work with. Ewing made a steal that led to his own dunk; Jones tomahawked the ball through the hoop again; J.J. Redick threw an alley-oop pass that ended in a Casey Sanders dunk over three defenders; Sanders dunked again after a creative pass from Duhon; and freshman Shelden Williams slammed home the ball in traf-

fic, after which he triumphantly screamed, as if releasing the frustration that naturally occurs from being a freshman on a top-25 college basketball team. Randolph, who was averaging 20 points per game after the the first two games of the season but only collected a combined two points in games three and four, once again showed his scoring touch, netting 11 points in 17 minutes. Randolph scored infrequently in the two previous games, not because his offense struggled, but because of defensive woes. After struggling to slow offensive players, Krzyzewski limited Randolph to 15 minutes combined time in the games against Ohio State and UCLA. Krzyzewski matched Randolph with

The Chronicle

Michigan’s premier player LaVell Blanchard to challenge him. “He did all right,” Krzyzewski said. “We’re trying to get ready for some games, and in that matchup against UCLA, he wasn’t prepared for that. So just playing against Blanchard today would prepare him for a future guy like that.” Things could have been much worse for the Wolverines, as Duke’s three-point touch, arguably its forte, struggled immensely. The Blue Devils shot 3-for-18 from behind the arc, and Redick shot only l-for-6 from the field. “On the offensive end we may not hit all the time, but our defense is something that can stay consistent no matter what,” Duhon said. The win was a bit bittersweet for Krzyzewski, as Amaker is a former Duke player and assistant coach. “I’m glad that it’s over,” Krzyzewski said. “Once the game starts, I don’t even think of anything like that, but the few days before it’s not good for me just because I love Tommy—l don’t like Tommy—l love Tommy.

Duke held on, opening a 2116 lead before falling prey to a nine point run by Miami. Duke would bring the score as close as 25-24, but Miami hung on to finish out the game. “We came out really strong in the first game,” junior Arielle Linderman said. “The general feeling on the court was fine, very comfortable, very confident, then they had a run, and all of a sudden the whole feeling on the court changed a lot.”

Wisconsin Saturday in the second round, the whole way. In game two, they hit .026 en route to losing after they held a 13-12 lead. In game three, they hit just -1.06, which Nagel said was the first time that the Blue Devils had posted a negative hitting percentage this season.

Senior Rachel Vander Griend tallied six kills and five block assists, and senior Josie Weymann led Duke with 14 digs. Gilman led the team with nine kills, yet even she was not pleased with her performance. “I don’t feel like I played well,” she said. “I feel like I made too many errors. The kills didn’t really mean

much to me.”

From its current vantage point, Duke mainly hopes to learn a few lessons for next season. “I hope that this is almost a turning point for our team,” Nagel said. “I think that we’re capable of more, and I hope this will be part of our growing as The Blue Devils were out-hit by a team, to become the team that we Miami, who defeated the No. 14-seed want to be.”

The Chronicle PPS finals exposed!

The Chronicle

9. 2002

document obtained by The Chronicle last week dispels the

common myth that all public policy finals are memos. This document is the final exam for PPS 332, Introduction to the

Simplest Tools of the Most Basic Policy Analysis, purported to be the most difficult course the department offers and considered the weed-out course for the public policy master’s program. When contacted by The Chronicle about his final, the course instructor, Ronald McDonald, professor of the practice of hamburgling—who brings practical, applicable, real-world experience to the discipline as one ofthe shining stars in the public policy constellation—was defensive about the rigor of his course and final. “Do I hear complaints about how difficult the course is? Of course. Every year, students complain that my final is the only one that actually asks questions about what we ‘learned’ in the course and that every other PPS class just asks you to write some asinine memo,” McDonald said. “Well, I’m sorry, but I believe students should be challenged—that’s what PPS is about.” In the interest ofpublic information and to set the record straight on whether public policy classes have intellectual content, The Chronicle has decided to publish the PPS 332 final in its entirety below: Question 1) Please define what public policy is, what the goals of the department are and what the heck we are doing here. The best answers will be forwarded to Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy Director Bruce Jentleson and Provost Peter Lange since they’ve been trying to answer this question for years and haven’t made any headway. Question 2) In class, we spent a lot of time discussing cost-benefit analyses and game theory. Consequently, please discuss the famous “prisoner’s dilemma.” You should use movies such as The Shawshank Redemption as your main source. Question 3) The football team had yet another floundering season, yet the University seems to be doing nothing about it. Pretend you are an effective Joe Alieva who has already fired Carl Franks because he sure isn’t a winner. Outline a plan to make the football team win. If you have difficulty understanding this question, feel free to ask the football player sitting next to you, or ask them later during the sociology class you’re in together. Question 4) Durham gets hit with a huge, one-inch snowfall. Try to design a more ineffective response policy than that implemented by Durham Mayor Bill Bell, which mainly consisted of pointless, draconian curfews and making sure the power stays out as long as possible. Question 5) A large part of this course is studying the effectiveness of various institutions. Along these lines, please discuss the similarities of these things; the League ofNations, Duke Student Government, the French department of war and the Weimar Republic. After reading the final, students from all over the University were again impressed with how The Chronicle overplays the documents it obtains. They also noted that The Chronicle’s staff members—half of whom major in public policy—really hope their bad sense of humor doesn’t affect the grading of their final memos. This is a joke. If you’re offended, write us a memo, and maybe we’ll read it or maybe we won’t. Have a wonderful winter break.

Friends emember Maggie Schneider She was an inspiration to live life with a smile on your face, a hop in your step, and a sifig-song tone in your voice. She always had more love to give, even for the peskiest little creature scurrying across the floor. Joe Picoraro Trinity ’O5

I knew Maggie through

WOODS, Roadßunners and as a friend. The first time Maggie ever ran a 5K she ran under 21 minutes, which is a ridiculous time for anyone to run the 5K in, let alone a girl

who was running her first SK. People on our team, and the other teams, were pleasantly amazed and generally blown out of the water by her performance! But impressing people beyond their wildest became imaginations Maggie’s M.O. during the two years we were at Duke together. Maggie was an extremely kind, generous and generally amazing girl. I feel extremely privileged that I was able to have Maggie as part of my life. Maggie, from your family, WOODS your Roadßunners family, and all of the people’s lives you touched on this earth, we will miss you!

Clark Smith Trinity ’O2

At the beginning of every Project WILD backpacking trip, someone always says, Hoka Hey, and they explain that this is a Native American way of saying, “It’s a good day to die.” With Maggie gone, I am left with a memory that I only seem to be able to explain as a feeling of exhilaration, an image of an orange ball of love and laughter. I am also left with a question: Can I really say Hoka Hey on any given day of my life? My memories of Maggie inspire me. She loved life passionately and shared this passion with everyone. Her enthusiasm for wildlife was contagious, especially for invertebrates of which she was particularly fond. She loved the science of life—biology—but now I realize she was also an expert in the other science of life, the one about enjoying and appreciating life and living yours as fully as possible. Every time I was with Maggie I remembered why life is sweet, and even when it’s not, it’s up to you to make it that way. Hoka Hey, Maggie, Hoka Hey. Julie Griffin Trinity ’O5

Maggie was a bright ball of laughter, smiles, hair, and energy.

With the storm comes the chiU./

The whispering winter wind brings news/ that drains the breath and speeds the heart—/ The brightest snowflake fed./

So beautiful/ Yet more delicate than we .

could possibly imagine./ How you brighten up the

world/ With your reflections and inner light./ Even the trees bend/ And break/ In the wake of your loss./ The sun appears/ And the icicle melts—/ The earth cries for it has changed so./ Though it makes way for spring/ Your light shines still to brighten each day./ The memories live forever/ Of the snowflake/ That fell too soon./

William Lynam Trinity ’O4

There is a chant that has drifted in and out of the Project WILD that goes. Listen, listen, listen to my heart song./ Listen, listen, listen to my heart song./ I will never forget you, I will never forsake you./ I will never forget you, I will never forsake you/ I will never forget Maggie and the love that she shared with me and so many other people. Her passion for the most peculiar things is what made her wonderful and is what I seek to find and feel in my own life. She was like no other person I have ever known, in that she was always smiling, always positive, and always completely giving. I know this sounds like a generic description of any “good” person, but the thing about Maggie was that it was true. She loved her friends and told them so without any hesitations. She made and gave the most thoughtful and quirky gifts that made you smile and laugh. She went out of her way to help others, all the time. Maggie was joy and love and life.

Jennifer Snook Trinity ’O4

I am a member of Prism and while I did not know Maggie very well, the first thing that comes to mind when I think ofher is warm. I remember a vivacious, funny, fun-loving girl who

impacted the lives of those whom she did not even

know well.

I first met Maggie at the beginning of second semester last year, but didn’t really get to know her until spring break, when she was one ofmy leaders for Project WILD’s March trip. I am truly thankful that I was given that opportunity; she was always one to keep everyone’s spirits up and maintain the constant fun that makes everyone enjoy what they’re doing in life. She quickly became one of my closest friends, and was always someone I could talk to when I needed a kick of happiness, or just for the sake of talking. She was involved in WOODS and always was full of excitement when talking about it.

She loved everything she did, and everyone she was around. She was a part of my crew again this August for PWILD, as one ofmy coleaders. She was so happy to have a crew to lead and couldn’t wait to get them out in the wilderness, to share with them the same kind of experiences I was given when around her. She always wanted everyone to be happy and having fun, and was a great source of inspiration to be around. She taught me how to enjoy everything in life. She was

truly one of the greatest people I’ve known, and one

of my best friends. Marshall Jones Trinity ’O5

She said she was going/ to be a scientist./ She told me, that night/ when we talked in our jeans/ and hopes, all about/ what the good life meant./ She said she just wanted to live,/ to live a basic life, and she

If any of you ever want my input I would be happy to meet with you and talk in a normal, decent fashion, although it’s a hunch that you don’t really listen to the students (e.g., C2K, the independent corridor/no social scene campus).

Jen, we will forgive Jordan, but I don’t know if we can forgive that. I am sure as you read this, we will be still sitting in a disaster-torn Durham. While most towns across the United States would be fine after three inches of snow, Durham is in critical condition. How did three inches become a natural disaster? Are they using toothpicks to hold up their power lines and a couple of pool cues to plow the streets? What has public works been up to these past couple of days, cutting wires and shoveling snow onto the streets? What if we ever got a 4-incher? Or how about that dreaded 5-incher? A 5-inch snowstorm would mean instant death for everyone, utter annihilation. Come on people, God didn’t have it rain for 40 days and 40 nights; we just had a 6-inch snowstorm in Durham.

THEO HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE wins the Carlyle Cup When I, THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE, learned I would be working for The Chronicle, I felt it imperative to begin by practicing the craft of a legitimate journalist. This would require some research.

One of the more interesting events might be the sucking-up-to-the-men’s-basketball-coach competition. Said Duke President Nannerl Keohane, “Admittedly, they got the upper hand when they named their arena the Dean Smith Center while Dean Smith was actually coaching in it, but we at Duke like to think that our naming of the court ‘Coach K Court’ was just as shameless and absurd. I mean, every home game Coach K coaches, he’s going to have to look at that idiotic phrase ‘Coach K Court,’ Carlyle Cup to Add New Categories in front of his face. It’s a real coup.” Also helpCup right of the Carlyle losing early in Duke’s days ing Duke out is Coach K’s “lifetime contract shtick,” may be over. After another fall of Carolina superiority, there is which according to Keohane includes clauses pertalk of adding some new categories to allow Duke to mitting him to only smile 16 times in a 20-year span, never change his haircut in a 31-year span and cuss get more wins and keep things close. “It’s time we start playing to our strengths,” said like a soldier, in Krzyzewski’s words, “whenever the Director of Athletics Joe Alieva. “We are looking at f— I G-dd want to.” The most controversial event might be the alumsome events that Duke will be very competitive in.” One such event will certainly be the exercise ni competition. “The law school shouldn’t count,” machine competition, where anorexic women will Alieva asserted.

Obnoxious Construction Projects category, working hard on several obtrusive and offensive undertakings involving superfluous building and digging. Duke holds the trump card here, though, by actually using inexplicable construction work to turn the thoroughfare of Towerview Drive into a one-lane road for a small stretch, causing drivers to stick their heads out their windows stupidly to slowly creep by the approaching vehicle from the other side. The school whose mascot has the largest head will also win points, as will the university that makes better phallic puns out of its respective Aycock dormitory and comes up with cleverer fake names when turning in orders at its respective Armadillo Grill. Dining also features in the Subway Olfactory Challenge, wherein the extent to which each school’s Subway restaurant stinks up the entire dining hall is measured. In the simplistic Bryan Center contest, a school wins points for not having the Bryan Center. UNC is heavily favored in this event. While this and other events actually seem to favor Carolina, Alieva is quick to point out a big advantage that Duke has: “James ‘Skip’ Herrod, manager of the Marketplace, can alter the course of any of these events just by his presence in campus. He’s that valuable to our teams.” Some proposed events were rejected, however. Duke thought Carolina’s proposed “largest number of students who aren’t Yankee trash” contest to be xenophobic, while Carolina strongly objected to Duke’s idea of a “largest percentage of the student body who talk normally and not with those ignorantsounding accents” competition on the grounds that it was elitist and bigoted. A proposed competition comparing the cities in which the two schools are located was also rejected, on the idea that, according to a spokesperson from Carlyle and Co., “Most Duke students have never even been to Durham. No, we’re not counting Ninth Street or that stretch of restaurants on 15-501, you sissies.” THEODORE HUXTABLE’S PROTEGE would like to encourage his/her fellow Durhamites to sing the body electric, a la Walt Whitman, in lieu of having any actual functioning electric devices.

Anne Rice

Prague A Novel

Arthur Phillips

In her new novel, Anne Rice fuses her two uniquely seductive strains of narrative—her vampire legend and her lore of the Mayfair witches—to give us a world of classic Deep South luxury and ancestral secrets.

A first novel of startling scope and ambition, Prague depicts an intentionally lost Lost Generation as it follows five American expats who come to Budapest in the early 1990s to seek their fortune—financial, romantic, and spiritual—in an exotic city newly opened to the West.

Katharine Grahams

TheLittle Friend

Washington

Donna Tartt A revelation of familial longing and sorrow, The Little Friend explores crime and punishment, as well as the hidden complications and consequences that hinder the pursuit of truth and justice. A novel of breathtaking ambition and power, it is rich in moral paradox, insights into human frailty, and storytelling brilliance.

A final legacy from Katharine Graham: an all-embracing, highly personal collection of writings (more than one hundred articles, essays, and excerpts from books) about Washington, D.C.—covering the period from 1917, the year of her birth, to early 2001, just before she died. KNOPF

EXPERTS SAY BE CHARITABLEBUT BE INFORMED A crisp authoritative voice barks over the telephone, asking you to help sheriff’s deputies raise money for toys. Another organization needs money to feed hungry kids. It’s hard to say no, especially during the holidays. But you can’t forget recent accusations of financial shenanigans at venerable charities, either.

Think with your head, not your heart “If you’re giving to the Salvation Army, make sure the guy’s got a kettle,” said Dan Parsons, president of the Better Business Bureau of Houston. “Don’t get motivated by a good sales pitch.” The Internet and a national movement to establish uniform standards for nonprofit organizations have made it easier to check out a charity before donating, good news for an increasingly skeptical public. “Donors are very cautious,” said Stephen Maislin, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Community Foundation. “They ask a lot more questions than they used to.” The Better Business Bureau rates local and national charities on issues including their spending on administration and fund raising. Charities that don’t provide the information are automatically listed as not meeting the standards. Financial information required by the IRS is also available, online or through the organizations.

That won’t tell you everything, but it’s a start.

Many people don’t realize that not all organizations that solicit donations are tax-exempt, Parsons said. “A lot of people write that off on their taxes and get away with it, but a lot of these aren’t even charities.”

of community investing for the Greater Houston Community Foundation.

There are 13,628 nonprofits registered in Texas alone, with assets of $68.4 billion, according to 1999 figures from the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations. That doesn’t count small organizations At www.guidestar.org you can plug in an like booster clubs, local 'organization’s name and PTAs, youth sports read its 990 tax torm, “Don’t get motivated by groups and others too which reveals how much small to have to report a good sales pitch.” money it received and their finances to the IRS. from what sources, as well as how it was spent. Parsons suggests you check out the organization on the bureau’s Web site “If you have your heart set on a charity (www.bbbhou.org) before writing a and our report suggests less than total check. The national group’s Web site, I’m not saying you have to cooperation, www.bbb.org, has links to 142 walk away from it,” Parsons said. “But ask bureaus nationwide. to see their 990 (tax form).” Give.org, a project of the national Better Business Bureau, looks at organizations Not meeting the bureau guidelines doesn’t mean the charity is doing anything shady. with a* national scope. “It’s one of the few things we do that’s “I think it should raise a red flag,” Parsons black and white, whether a charity meets said. “It doesn’t mean it’s fraudulent. It just means they’ve chosen not to work our guidelines or not,” Parsons said. within our framework.” The guidelines look at tax-exempt status, the board of directors and annual financial Similarly, Maislin said, an organization may have a good reason for spending statements to ensure that 75 percent or more than 25 percent or even 35 percent of more of all income be is used for charitable purposes. its income on administration and other overhead. That’s particularly true with Better Business Bureau guidelines on startup organizations, which may have the percentage of income spent on charhigh capital costs. 65 percent next year in an ity drops to

If you have concerns, visit the organization, said Emelda Douglas, vice president

“It’s possible to do a walk-through when it’s an after-school program, the Children’s Museum, a homeless shelter,” she said. “Just drive by, and get a sense of the entity.”

People often feel they can’t give enough money to make a difference, but that’s not always true, Maislin said. “In many cases, a modest amount can make an enormous difference.” For most people, making a donation means writing a check. For others, tax issues complicate the decision. “Obviously, any gift is a good gift,” said Maislin, a tax and estate-planning attorney before taking the helm of the community foundation. Donating stock or another asset, such as real estate, may have certain tax advantages. (IRS Publication 526 can tell you what’s deductible and what’s not.) First, you have to figure out what you want to accomplish. Most people give to their church or synagogue, their alma mater and, often, to organizations supported by friends and relatives, Maislin said. But increasingly, he said, people are thinking about making a difference.

“For some people, their passion is culture and nothing else,” he said. “Other people want to feed kids.”

December 9, 2002

No compromise with terrorists Experience has shown that appeasement of terrorists is both futile and foolhardy. By flagrantly violating the most basic moral precept—respect for innocent human life—terrorist groups and governments that actively support them have placed themd k selves outside the realm where negotiation is a plausible option. The p raveli Sept. 11 attacks, Bali the Molchanov and bombings Moscow hostage crisis Politics . have shown that force is w the only viable method of stopping adversaries who have utterly .

devalued

life,

even

their

own.

Regrettably, it appears that the one exception to this rule that the United States had kept after Sept. 11—negotiation with the regime of Yasser Arafat—is growing more and more untenable. At the outset, I want to stress that the only long-term solution to the Palestinian question must be political in nature, culminating—as President George W. Bush has argued—in a viable, independent Palestinian state. There are clearly officials in Arafat’s government who believe in peaceful coexistence with Israel. However, recent events have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that the man whom the world expected to be the first leader of this state simply cannot be trusted. As someone who has long viewed Arafat as a noble if flawed freedom-fighter, I have to admit that this view is now fundamentally wrong. With his words as well as his deeds, Arafat has shown himself to be an impediment to a conclusive peace settlement.

The most common claim against Arafat is that he does not do enough to

stop terror attacks by Islamic militant groups against Israeli civilians. This is an important point, but we can give the Palestinian Authority the benefit of the doubt by accepting its explanation that it cannot stop every single suicide bombing by Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. Fair enough. The truly shocking charge of

which Arafat is unquestionably guilty is that his own political movement condones, funds and even carries out acts of violence against civilian targets. This movement, called Fatah, is the dominant faction in the broader Palestine Liberation Organization, which Arafat has headed for decades. Its armed wing is the Tanzim, within which there is a small and relatively young terrorist unit that calls itself the alAqsa Brigade. It was added to the U.S. State Department’s list of terrorist organizations earlier this year, for carrying out attacks against Jewish settlers in the occupied territories and civilians—Jewish and Arab alike—within Israel’s 1948 borders, which Arafat claiihs to respect. A particularly glaring example of the brutality exhibited by the Brigade came Nov. 11, when one ofits gunmen opened fire in Kibbutz Metzer, a farm in northern Israel. He entered a home, killing the mother and her two young children before shooting dead two more civilians. Then, on Nov. 28, the day of the Kenyan hotel bombing, two Brigade gunmen shot dead six civilians in Beit Shean. Even for a region that has grown accustomed to violence, these attacks shock the conscience.

Arafat, as is his custom, issued generic statements with disapproval of such cold-blooded murders, but he qualified it by arguing that the crimes were caused by a cycle of violence that Israel perpetuates. Now I will be the first to criticize a number of excessive tactics used by the Israeli military, but to blame such atrocities on anything besides the attackers’ depraved ideology verges on the ridiculous. Nothing done by the government of Prime Minister Sharon could possibly justify the killing of innocent civilians, just like U.S. foreign policy can never rationalize Sept. 11. It is irresponsible of Arafat to suggest that deliberate murder of civilians is a legitimate tactic of resisting oppression. He rightly condemns Israeli actions that result in deaths of innocent Palestinians but fails to recognize that there is a moral distinction between accidental “collateral damage” and premeditated slaughter of innocents. Moreover, if the claim of responsibility came from Hamas or a similar group, we would not hold Arafat directly responsible. But the al-Aqsa Brigade has always been an integral part of his Fatah movement. It boggles the mind that this authoritarian leader—to put it mildly—does not have the ability to control his own followers. It is true that he does not supervise Hamas and Hezbollah, but he is unquestionably the paramount leader of the Brigade. When his own organization attacks civilians inside Israel’s 1948 borders, his feeble press releases just don’t cut it anymore. The Bush administration has offered a sensible “roadmap” that Israel and the Palestinian Authority need to follow to finally resolve this conflict by 2005.

Both sides certainly have much to do, but when the White House seeks a resumption of security cooperation between them, it is important to keep in mind that Arafat has thus far proven incapable of even taking the minimal step of halting senseless Fatah violence. Before his police forces—which are more or less interchangeable with the Tanzim—confront other militant groups, they need to take the basic step of disarming and arresting the terrorists within their own ranks. Right now, it does not appear that there is political will in place to do even that. The world very much wants to believe that Arafat will show genuine leadership by proactively taking on the terrorist groups that do enormous damage to the Palestinian cause—a cause that remains a just one. There is still a chance for him to rehabilitate his image in the eyes of Israel and the international community. For this reason, I do not believe that expelling Arafat from the region would be a constructive move on the part of the Israeli government. Indeed, what Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed will only exacerbate the already chaotic state of affairs. Ultimately, Arafat’s future is a matter for the Palestinians to decide. Many ofthem are as frustrated with his ineffectiveness as the Israelis are, even if the rally-round-the-flag effect of the intifada is preventing a viable democratic opposition from arising. The future of the Palestinian people is far too important to be jeopardized by the self-aggrandizing policies of one man.

Media masochism; or, why we love things that suck

Dear new columnists So you’ve recently been selected to write in The Chronicle next semester; good job. I thought I might take this opportunity to pass on some advice for |k attracting readers. Of j course, you’ll all fall into the broad category of“filler between Rob’s columns,” but my fraRob ternity gets to count the time I spend writ- Goodman ing this as community ohD fflr,l'mE«r service hours, so here sse^ we are. Before I get .to the meat of my advice, I’ll need to explain an important discovery I’ve made, something that will make your jobs a lot easier and quite possibly revolutionize the field of media studies as a whole. I call it the Media Masochism Principle. I came by my discovery when I was charting my own time management and arrived at some startling results. It turns out that during my waking hours, I spend 6 percent of my time doing schoolwork, 11 percent keeping up on the news, 17 percent consuming entertainment with some artistic worth and a whopping 92 percent consuming entertainment that absolutely sucks. And that is the Media Masochism Principle: People love _

things that suck!

Look—say you’re a random work of music. Ifyou’re a classical piece—and not that one by Mozart that goes dum, dum-dah, dum-dum-dum-dum-dumdah—l’ve never heard of you. If you’re

a cutting-edge rock song, I’m completely out of the loop. But if you’re the delightfully awful music video of Avril Levigne’s “SkSer Boi,” I watched you nine times yesterday.

For the boys of high school, Blues Traveler is playing on our Volvo stereo as my mom drives me to school. “Why can’t I ask him out?” I ask, applying a thick slick of Clinique Almost Lipstick. “Faran,” warns my mother, “he knows your name.

jeans. “So what’s the point?” he moans an hour later at the Loop. “I asked her out, and she turned me down! I feel like such an idiot!” I smile and suss him out. “You’re not an idiot,” I say, through milkshake sips, “but you have to realize that the reward in this whole thing isn’t getting the girl. It’s getting over the fear of asking someone out. Okay, so you got rejected. Are you dying? Are you broke? Did Guinness go out ofbusiness?” He smiles sheepishly. “Okay,” I say, “so there you go.

I learned an important lesson th§it day: The best way to get rid of a hangover is just to drink more. The same

applies to asking people out, especially if you get canned. Taking risks is good for you, and, besides, you never know when someone you like might actually feel the same way. “That never happens,” laughs the guy, now wallowing in a ’Dillo pitcher. But trust me, it does. The only way to change something is to get off your Docker’s clad ass and do it yourself. If you like someone, tell them. If they don’t feel the same way, fine. Things that aren’t supposed to happen don’t happen; your soul-mate is not going to reject you, even if the chick down the hall does. There are a lot of beautiful girls at this University and guess what? We’re sick of waiting for you guys to do something about it. Some of us are okay with asking guys out; some of us play by the Rules and wouldn’t dare. But stop coming up with excuses to talk to us. If you want something, come and get it. And boys, if you want us, you need to come and get us now. ’Cause soon, we’re going to start wanting men instead. Faran Krentcil is a Trinity senior and a senior editor of Recess.

Maggie Schneider had an amazing love for life. She enjoyed life and was excited by so many things. One of the common interests that Maggie and I shared was dinosaurs: me from my Biology of Dinosaurs class and hers from her paleontology class. Last year during the second semester I made a trip over to Raleigh to visit the science museum, and since the two of us were dino buddies, I invited Maggie along. When we finished touring the museum I bought a plaster reproduction of a dinosaur finger claw. A few days later her paleontology

On our P-Wild trip, Maggie carried at least five extra pounds of candy and stuff around on her small frame so we would always have something to snack on in the middle of the trail. She volunteered to switch packs with me—her expensive custom-adjustable pack for my bruising and ill-fitting pack—saying she wanted to do everything she could to make sure I had a good experience. She gave me her chapstick because I couldn’t find mine. She made us macaroni and cheese in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night after our solos] because she didn’t want us to be hungry. She made us cinammon rolls with only a frying pan and a barely working stove—it turned out as one big piece of dough instead oflittle rolls, but it tasted great. She put up with my inexperienced-hiker whining. More concerned about our safety than hers, she traded her working flashlight for my dim and unhelpful one even as she fearlessly lead us down a slippery mountain path in the middle ofthe night during a lightning storm.

The nation s telecommunications network is increasingly monopolistic and amalgamated Bad metaphors make bad policy.

Everyone talks about the “information highway.” But in economic terms the

Paul Krugman Commentary telecommunications network resembles not a highway, but the railroad industry of the robber-baron era—that is, before it faced effective competition from trucking. And railroads eventually faced tough regulation, for good reason: They had a lot of market power, and often abused it. Yet the people making choices today about the future of the Internet—above all Michael Powell, chair of the Federal Communications Commission —seem unaware of this history.

They are full of enthusiasm for the wonders of deregulation, dismissive of concerns about market power. And meanwhile, tomorrow’s robber barons are fortifying their castles. Until recently, the Internet seemed the very embodiment of the free-market ideal—a place where thousands of service providers competed, where anyone could visit any site. And the tech sector was a fertile breeding ground for libertarian ideology, with many techies asserting that they needed neither help nor regulation from Washington. But the wide-open, competitive

world of the dial-up Internet depended on the very government regulation so many Internet enthusiasts decried.

Local phone service is a natural monopoly, and in an unregulated world local phone monopolies would probably insist that you use their dial-up service. The reason you have a choice is that they are required to act as common carriers, allowing independent service providers to use their lines. A few years ago everyone expected the same story to unfold in broadband. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was supposed to create a highly competitive broadband industry. But it was a botched job; the promised competition never materialized. For example, I personally have no choice at all: If I want broadband, the Internet service provided by my local cable company is it. Fm like a 19th-century farmer who had to ship his grain on the Union Pacific, or not at all. If I lived closer to a telephone exchange, or had a clear view of the Southern sky, I might have some alternatives. But there are only a few places in the United States where there is effective broadband competition. And that’s probably the way it will stay. The political will to fix the 1996 act, to create in broadband the kind of freewheeling environment that many Internet users still take for granted, has evaporated. Last March the FCC used linguistic trickery—defining cable Internet access as an “information service”

rather than as telecommunications—to exempt cable companies from the requirement to act as common carriers The FCC will probably make a similar

ruling on DSL service, which runs over lines owned by your local phone company. The result will be a system in which most families and businesses will have no more choice about how to reach cyberspace than a typical 19th-century farmer had about which

The day when a single conglomerate could own your local newspaper, several of your local TV channels, your cable company and your phone compaa ny—and offer your own only route to the Internet—may not be far off. The result of all this will probably your be exorbitant access charges, but your that’s the least of it.

railroad would carry his grain There were and are alternatives. We could have restored competition by breaking up the broadband industry, restricting local phone and cable companies to the business of selling space on their lines to independent Internet service providers. Or we could have accepted limited competition, and regulated Internet providers the way we used to regulate AT&T. But right now we seem to be heading for a system without either effective competition or regulation.
