Young trustee race narrows University reinstates Yoimg Trustee Greek judicial board Greeks By MOLLY NICHOLSON The Chronicle

Round up the usual suspects

Nine semi-finalists have been selected in this year’s race for undergraduate young trustee, and almost all are leaders of the largest undergraduate student organizations. “We weren’t necessarily looking for someone who has been involved in everything on campus,” said Thaniyyah Ahmad, Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction and chair of the Intercommunity Council, which runs the process. Rather, committee members sought professionalism, knowledge about both undergraduate and graduate student issues, administrative interaction, a love of Duke and a well-round-

IGSP finds success in new genetics center Nursing plans major new

By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

There’s a fundamental problem with the Center for Human Genetics, the brand new 120,000-square-foot research facility on LaSalle Street. The front doors won’t open. True, its 160 professors, researchers, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, statisticians, programmers, lab technicians and other employees moved in during November, and the first component of the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy is now running at full steam. But since its opening, the center’s main entrance appears to be locked, accessible only by pressing the handicap door button. “The biggest [issue] so far has been the doors,” said Margaret Pericak-Vance, professor of medicine and di-

rector ofthe Center for Human Genetics. “We’ve been having trouble getting in.” Other than the doors, however, Vance couldn’t be happier with her new home. The $4O million building features offices, open laboratories, conference rooms, inSee GENETICS CENTER on page 6

Hints of North Korea talks continue President reiterates that “time is running out” for Hussein to renounce weapons By DAVID SANGER

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON

President

George W. Bush said for the first time Tuesday that if North Korea abandoned its nuclear weapons program he would consider offering a “bold initiative” that could bring aid, energy and eventually even diplomatic and security agreements to the country. This signaled a major shift in the administration’s approach to North Korea. Just hours before Bush hinted at the broad outlines of a grand bargain, China offered to arrange a meeting in Beijing in which the United States and North Korea could talk directly. But neither

Washington nor Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, has accepted the invitation, and administration officials said they still have no evidence the Chinese leadership is willing to put more than modest pressure on North Korea to dismantle its two nuclear programs—a newly discovered uranium enrichment effort and a restarted nuclear complex at Yongbyon that can produce bomb-grade plutonium. While Bush was emphatic Tuesday on the choice facing North Korea still insisting no deal was possible until Pyongyang dismantles its nuclear facilities in away inspectors can verify—his tone changed when he talked about Iraq. —

Echoing his aides’ arguments that there is no room for Korea-like diplomacy when dealing with the leader of Iraq, he said: Tm sick and tired of games and deception.” Raising his voice, he added: “Time is running out on Saddam Hussein. He must disarm.” Bush spoke just before a luncheon meeting with Poland’s president, Aleksander Kwasniewski. Inter-

viewed at Blair House, the presidential guest house, Tuesday afternoon, Kwasniewski was asked whether, after speaking to Bush, he thought there would be a war with Iraq.

“Yes,” he said, “but I had the sense that he is still listening, still analyzing. He did not say how long he was willing to wait.”

SEC fines Datek CEO in ‘historic’ deal By DAVID BARBOZA

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK Seven former traders and executives of Datek Online, once heralded as a pioneer in online stock trading, agreed Tuesday to pay $7O million in fines for what regulators called illegal trading and fraudulent bookkeeping during the market boom of the 19905. The Securities and Exchange Commission called it one of the largest securities-fraud settlements in history. Regulators said the group offormer traders and executives made tens of millions of dollars by engaging in stock fraud that went on for nearly a decade and involved taking advantage of a Nasdaq trading system that was intended to help smaller investors. Jeffrey Citron, 32, Datek’s former chief executive, and Sheldon Maschler, 58, the company’s former chief trader,

agreed to the largest fines, $22.5 million and $29.2 million. They also agreed to be permanently barred from the securities industry. The others paid smaller fines and penalties. Under the terms of the settlement, Citron and Maschler acknowledged no wrongdoing. Regulators said the former Datek executives were caught taking advantage of a system that was supposed to help smaller investors get their trades executed quickly. Citron and Maschler had been instrumental in transforming Datek from a small day-trading operation in Brooklyn, N.Y., into one ofthe nation’s fastest-growing online brokers in the late 19905. They also helped create the Island ECN, Datek’s online stock trading network that once petitioned regulators to become a full-fledged stock exchange.

Legacy of equity: First OIE vice president retires

Adams brought greater awareness, enforcement to various issues before leaving last semester By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle One of the pioneers of Duke’s most recent push to-

ward diversity has retired from the University, leaving behind a legacy of greater attention to race and em-

ployee concerns. Myrna Adams became vice president for institutional equity after President Nan Keohane formed the Office of Institutional Equity in 1995. She worked on special projects for Executive Vice President Tollman Trask after she stepped down in 2000, and left Duke last September. Adams said she plans to do consulting work for several local organizations in Durham. Her legacy to Duke is multi-fold,” said current Vice President for Institutional Equity Sally Dickson, who succeeded Adams at OIE. “I think [it includes]’ clearly Myrna’s professionalism and her commitment and passion to issues of equal opportunity, respect for individuals and trying to make Duke a better place for everybody, particularly as it grapples with the issue of race.” The tasks Adams faced in her five years at OIE included defining harassment in Duke’s work force and establishing the procedures for the harassment review board, considering how most equitably to lay off employees at the Medical Center and implementing compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “We hadn’t developed a University-wide program of meeting the needs of disabled students and employ-

Before that, she spent 21 years at the State University of New York on both the Stony Brook and Old Westbury campuses in several roles, including director of admissions, director of counseling services, an official in student affairs, an assistant dean ofthe graduate school and assistant to the president for affirmative action. Adams holds a bachelor of arts in Spanish from the University of Illinois, pursued graduate study in Latin American studies at the University of Michigan, earned a master of education degree in counseling psychology at the University ofSouthern California and a law degree from Hofstra School ofLaw.

Scientists create tumor profiling method

By MIKE MILLER The Chronicle

A combination of drugs administered to protect Gulf War soldiers against disease and nerve gas may have inadvertently damaged their testes and sperm production, according to animal experiments conducted by Medical Center researchers. Tests on rats have shown that equivalent doses of three drugs given to all Gulf War soldiers—the insect repellent DEET, the insecticide permethrin and the anti-nerve gas agent pyridostigmine bromide—cause extensive cell degeneration within various structures of the testes, far more than with any of the drugs taken separately. “This research shows the chemicals could reduce the number of sperm, and the ones that remain could be less active, or even deformed,” said Mohamed Abou Donia, a professor of pharmacology and cancer biology and lead author of the study, which was funded by the Department of Defense. “This could have a

profound effect on fertility.” The damage was particularly severe when the cocktail of drugs was combined with moderate stress, which was simulated by keeping the mice immobilized for a short time, Abou Donia said. “Of course, soldiers were stressed during the war, and people had the idea that Gulf War Syndrome was just complaints derived from stress,” he said. The study, published in the Jan. 10 issue of The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, follows up earlier research by the same team that showed the combination of drugs also does significant damage to the brain and fiver, and is a possible cause of another condition known as GulfWar Syndrome—a neurological disorder characterized by diminished memory, cognition and balance. The new research has been urged on by veterans’ groups, who have noted a prevalence of infertility and other sexual problems among GulfWar veterans.

Ocean currents generate magnetic field

Scientists at the University of Washington and GeoForschungsZentmm, an independent research institute in Potsdam, Germany, have shown for the first time that fields generated by the motion of ions in the ocean can be identified in measurements of Earth's overall magnetic field. The researchers suggest that more detailed analyses of these ocean-generated fields, created through a process called motional induction, may help to improve the accuracy of geomagnetic maps. •

A new type of antifungal drug called caspofungin may be as effective and less toxic than amphotericin B, the current standard treatment for candidiasis, say Duke scientists. The fourth most common bloodstream infection detected among hospitalized patients and fatal in more than 30 percent of cases, candidiasis results from an overabundance of the fungus Candida, which occurs naturally in humans but is suppressed by bacteria in healthy patients.

Oncologists at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center are developing a new technique called gene expression profiling that subtypes each breast cancer tumor by its genetic defects so that doctors can tailor their treatment to be more effective. The technique, which employs gene chip technology to “fingerprint" each tumor, could spare millions of women from toxic chemotherapy, claim the researchers. Duke scientists are leading a national clinical trial, partly funded by the National Cancer Institute, to study the method. •

Researchers find vitamin C gene

Researchers at two Spanish universities have isolated a gene in strawberries that plays an important role in the production of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. The study, published in Nature Biotechnology, suggests the possibility of increasing vitamin C levels in other plants by incorporating this gene, named GaIUR, which helps convert galacturonic acid, found in cell walls, to ascorbic acid.

GREEK BOARD from page 1 will still be heard at the council level and that his office would still take care of most communication be-

tween the University and national fraternity offices. The council, with an eye to UJB precedent, will nonetheless have the final word on sanctions. “Obviously, the board will begin to establish its own presence,” Adams said. “Kacie and Stephen [Bryan] will be able to provide any inside information on what has been adjudicated in the past, but the board will have the ability to determine for itself reasonable sanctions.” Nicole Manley, OFSL program coordinator, will also serve as an adviser to the board. Wallace said that, generally, her office adjudicates only six to eight cases per year specifically regarding chapter violations, but that this year, residence coordinators have dealt privately with grievances against fraternities for excessive damages and noise. Administrators noted that Wallace and the UJB would still have jurisdiction in cases against individual students, but students did not seem concerned about being punished twice. “People understand the line between individuals and the group,” said Panhellenic Council Executive Vice President Laura Hirsh. “Between the peek judicial board and the administration, no one’s trying to screw anyone over twice.” Administrators and student organizers alike stressed the idea that greek organizations should have the ability to make decisions about themselves and have the opportunity to self-govem. “They made a big deal out of the fact that they trust us, that this is something that’s happened in the past and been abused, but the big issue is trust,” Hirsh said. Because Wallace’s office will no longer address greek affairs, students may no longer feel that the administration is speaking with two voices—the positive from the new greek life office and the punitive from judicial affairs. “I’m not sure how accurate it is that we have spoken with different voices,” Wallace said. “It may have been heard differently. We’ve tried all along to make sure we’re on the same page. I hope the greek judicial board gives the perception that there’s more consistency in how things are handled.” Furthermore, with a student-led board doling out punishments, fraternities will not be able to directly blame the University for their woes. Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Epsilon both cited harsh Universitymandated sanctions in their decisions to disaffiliate from their respective national organizations in 2002. So far, Leskosky said the board has met with approval from rank-and-file members of the greek community-all fraternities except Phi Delta Theta currently have justices on the board.

NURSING from page 1 are going to continue to grow.” The School of Nursing currently occupies less than 20,000 square feet of space, an insufficient amount that has hampered their goal to emphasize research among the faculty, Champagne said. An accelerated bachelor’s degree was recently added to supplement the school’s established master’s program, and a doctoral program is in the early

planning stages.

“We’re very crunched right now,” said Anthony Adinolfi, director of the

Adult Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Program, adding that some faculty members have been forced to share an office. As a light at the end of the tunnel, Adinolfi noted that all nursing fac-

ulty members have been promised larger offices in the new building. Phase One ofthe proposed project will provide approximately 33,000 square feet of useable space, and a second planned phase will add a 15,500-square-foot wing to the initial building. Once that is completed, the School of Nursing will vacate its current main building, Hanes House, across from Trent Drive Hall. The planned facility will probably occupy a spare lot next to Hanes House. “The building will face the Medical Center, so as to unite nursing fully with the Medical Center,” Champagne explained. She particularly stressed the benefit of bringing all elements of the school together in one location. “We have a very dispersed faculty and student body,” she said. “It’s made communication more

Previously, the center and its staff was divided among five different buildings: the University Towers, Research Park Buildings 1 and 2, the Carl Building and the Bryan Building. All divisions are now housed in the LaSalle Street facility. “It used to be a 20-minute drive from the University Towers to campus and then you had to park. Now, if you have a question or want to meet with someone, you can walk down the hall or up the stairs and see them,” Vance said. She added that the building is one of her greatest allies in the recruitment of new researchers to the center. “Wouldn’t you like to work in a brand new facility and have the opportunity to easily bounce ideas off of your peers who are working on the same diseases?” In addition, the center’s shared resources and shared equipment is very cost effective, especially with the option to order things in bulk, Vance said.

difficult... and the synergy that is a result of that [communication].” Adinolfi agreed, pointing to current facilities in far-removed locations such as Duke South, the Orange Zone subbasement in Duke North, the Bell Building and rented space on Ninth Street. “There’s just a lot of extra traveling and difficulty,” he said. “It’ll be better for all faculty to be under one roof, and it will help students, too.” The building project was recently approved by the University Committee on Facilities and Environment, and will be presented for final approval to the Board of Trustees at its February meeting. Although he could not confirm that the project will be approved, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask agreed nursing needs improved space. “There’s no doubt that [nursing is] facility-poor, both in

“We now have all our resources combined in one building, which will greatly facilitate our output in years to come,” said second-year genetics graduate student Sean Garvey. The laboratories, where Garvey was researching limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 1A Monday af-

ternoon, are one of the most innovative aspects of the center. All of the lab benches are movable and larger

than before, with much room for expansion. Each bench currently hosts two people, but can accommodate a third, which will still be less than the four per bench in the previous buildings. The new facility also features automated DNA sequence analyzers, freezers for over 70,000 DNA samples, individualized offices for clinical researchers who need to have confidential conversations with patients, “shared offices” for other Duke researchers who wish to spend a few days a week working in the center and a space for an afternoon daily tea open to everyone. “We’re going to invite everyone in IGSP for tea once a week, to come down and talk about research papers and our work... because part of our mission as part of IGSP is to collaborate with people throughout

terms of quality and quantity,” he said. Champagne was confident of the building’s eventual approval. “I think it will definitely pass,” she said. “The only major stumbling block I see ahead is raising $lO-12 million to fund it.” Gordon Williams, vice dean of administration and finance at the School of Medicine, expressed approval of the school’s continued growth. “Nursing is undersized compared to our peers,” he said. “[The building improvements] serve a long-standing need to expand.” Champagne emphasized the importance of the nursing profession to the strength of both the Medical Center and the medical profession as a whole. “It’s critical for the future of health care, especially with the current nursing shortage, for Duke to take the lead in training top-quality nursing staff.”

the University,” Vance said.

The Center for Human Genetics is just one compo- • nent of the multi-million-dollar IGSP, which brings together five centers that study the genome and all its medical, scientific and humanistic challenges. This component houses both an informatics core, dedicated to the collection ofepidemiologic genetic information from families, and the Genomic Research Laboratory Core, centered around biomedical research on the nature of genetic disease. One floor of the building is designated as expansion space for the School of Medicine. A second IGSP building, the Center for Models of Human Disease, is scheduled to open in the spring, said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. The 129,000square-foot building will house up to 20,000 mice to study complex human disorders like heart disease. Instead of building a third IGSP facility, the Medical Center invested $17.5 million in the University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences building—scheduled for completion in August 2004—in exchange for 45,000 square feet of space.

Diversity, attracting top students and resource expansion are the three largest issues facing the University, Ford said. “Duke has high diversity ratings, yet the ratings don’t tell the full story. There are particular minorities who feel that they are not a full member of the Duke community” he said, citing the Duke Student Movement, concerns expressed by Muslim students after Sept. 11 and low support of the gay community.

Duke prepares to face Mapp, UVa By ROBERT SAMUEL The Chronicle

When ACC schools look at a map of Durham, many unsuccessfully attempt to solve the mystery of winning inside Cameron Indoor Stadium. Unfortunately for No. 1 Duke, Virginia finally has both a Majestic Mapp and, though no Sherlock, a quite capable Watson. Coming off a win against North Carolina in Charlottesville Saturday, Virginia (10-3, 1-1 in the ACC) confidently travels to Durham to battle the Blue Devils (11-0, 2-0) at 7 p.m. in Cameron. Although Duke destroyed Wake Forest—the only other undefeated team in Division I basketball— Sunday, the Cavaliers have good reason to be hopeful for a win tonight. Majestic Mapp, a former McDonald’s All-American, will play in just his second game in 34 months because of an ACL tear that occurred while playing pickup basketball in New York City in August 2000. The Virginia guard expected to be back for the 2001-02 season, but continued complications with his right knee led to two more knee scopes before he got some wretched news: Mapp needed another surgery to reconstruct his ACL.

Lions and tigers and James, oh my! Get excited, boys and girls. The circus is coming to town! Granted, this isn’t your typical Ringling Brothers show. There are no elephants, no acrobats and no lion tamers. But there is a ringleader. His name is Leßron, but you can call him King James. On Monday, the Greensboro Coliseum Evan Davis will host the Scholastic From the cheap seats Fantastic Hoops Tour, a day-long event featuring five high school basketball games. Why is such an event fetching ticket prices as high as 25 dollars? It’s not because the promoters came up with such a catchy name. It’s because of what they tacked on to the end. The Coliseum’s website refers to the event as the Scholastic Fantastic Hoops Tour... featuring Leßron James. The travels of St. Vincent-St. Mary, James’ Akron, Ohio, high school team, have been well publicized. The Fighting Irish recently played at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion—and nearly sold out the building. Their games have

nearly 10 minutes ofthe second half with foul trouble, scored eight of his 20 points over the final 3:34 as North Carolina beat the Tigers 68-66 Tuesday—running Clemson’s all-time record to 0-49 here. “It’s unbelievable, but it’s something our team has to live with,” Clemson point guard Ed Scott said of the losing streak. “We did it to ourselves. Tonight the game started out 0-0 and we went down by 15 and dug ourselves a hole—kind of like the streak—and we had to try to fight out of it. We just couldn’t.” Clemson lost by an average of 21 points in the previous 48 games, but this one felt like all the others to coach Larry Shyatt, who is now 2-31 in Atlantic Coast Conference road games. “I’ve got a lot of different emotions and our players do as well,” Shyatt said. “But clearly, you can’t hand that type of spread and a spot to a quality team at home in this league. I’m proud of the way we got back into the game.” But as usual for Clemson here, it just wasn’t enough, falling to 17-112 all-time against one ofcollege basketball’s storied programs.

the game, was also a hero for the Tar Heels (10-5, 2-1 in the ACC), sinking two free throws with 21.9 seconds left and North Carolina clinging to a one-point lead. “We played with great emotion and great energy—and great heart,” UNC coach Matt Doherty said. “That’s what we talked about before the game.” The Tar Heels trailed 49-43 with 13:44 left after blowing a 15-point first-half lead, but Jawad Williams made three straight shots over a span of 1:13 to get North Carolina and its crowd back in it. McCants then took over, breaking a 56-56 tie with a three-pointer. He made another shot behind the arc about a minute later and a follow shot with 1:56 left to put the Tar Heels up 64-60. “That was a big-time play by a big-time player,” Shyatt said of McCants’ rebound and put-back. The Tigers (10-2, 0-2) pulled within one before Felton, who added eight assists and six rebounds, helped seal it from the foul line. “We knew in the back of our heads that we were trying to keep tradition going,” Felton said. Clemson still had a chance to tie it with a threepointer, but Scott’s long shot was an air ball as he was being hawked by Jackie Manuel. North Carolina grabbed the rebound and Williams, who added a season-high 19 points, sealed it with a layup.

Goodbye Miami Miami’s sophomore running back Willis McGahee and junior wideout Andre Johnson announced that they will enter this year’s NFL Draft. McGahee tore his ACL in the Fiesta Bowl.

“I feel like Manuel played a great defensive game,” said Scott, who was 6for-17 from the field. “That was a big key for them. He was probably the unsung hero. Nobody will look at the great defensive job he did.” Scott led the Tigers with 17 points, while Sharrod Ford added 10 points and

strengthen the muscles around his knee before the discomfort would go away. Mapp finally feels good on the court again. “There’s no pain. I just have to convince Coach [Pete Gillen] that it’s time,” Mapp told The Washington Post. Mapp played only two minutes in his debut against North Carolina, but that number should increase against Duke, along with his inspiration to fellow Cavaliers. While Mapp will be mostly a spiritual lift for the Cavaliers, Travis Watson—the only player to be on every ballot as preseason first-team All-ACC—will help Virginia with his physical presence. Facing Georgetown, in their narrowest victory of the year, the Blue Devils struggled against the inside presence of Mike Sweetney until the Hoya ran into foul trouble during his 23-point performance. Watson, who is averaging 14.4 points and an ACC-leading 10.8 rebounds per game, has a style very similar to Sweetney.—Watson even outplayed Sweetney when Virginia defeated Georgetown in December—and should give the Blue Devils fits in

11 rebounds.

North Carolina’s home-court winning streak over Clemson is the secondlongest in NCAA history. Princeton’s 52game streak over Brown is also active and the longest. “There are no positives if we’re bottom-lining it,” Shyatt said. “It’s a loss. Some of my good friends have gotten pummeled the last couple of weeks, really good teams that lost by 30,22,24, but it’s the same result. WeTe 10-2 instead of 11-1.” Clemson’s only game out of the state of South Carolina before playing the Tar Heels came on Nov. 27 against High Point at the Greensboro Coliseum—a neutral site.

one started like most of Clemson’s games in Chapel Hill—with the Tigers falling into an early hole. Felton, who was 16-for-60 from three-point range coming in, sank three straight from behind the arc in the opening 2:50 to help fuel a 22-8 start to the contest.

This

Felton’s fourth three-pointer of the half with 8:17 left gave the Tar Heels a 15-point lead and it looked as if this was going to be another easy win for North Carolina here. But Felton left with an upset stomach and McCants picked up his third foul—and that’s the crack Clemson needed to get back into it. Scott started a 20-4 run with seven points in a two-minute span as the Tigers managed a 38-38 tie at the break, shooting 52 percent and beating North Carolina on the boards. However, the Tigers shot 36 percent in the final 20 minutes, going 3-for-12 from three-point range as the Tar Heels tightened their defense. “I can talk about everybody on my roster and how proud I am of them,” Doherty said.

the post.

“It’s kind of hard to prepare for guys like that,” Duke forward Shavlik Randolph said. “All we can do is to know to be alert, to try to box him out, and not let him get any easy buckets. When he gets the ball, we’ll try to dou-

ble-team hard.” If the Blue Devils do decide to put two defenders on Watson, look for Todd Billett to line up around the arc. The six-foot sharp shooter hit six three-

pointers in his 24-point performance against UNC. “He’s a great shooter,” Duke freshman J.J. Redick said. Redick, Duke’s shooting ace, will compete with Billet while having extra inspiration to defeat the Cavaliers. Redick is a Virginia native who is a former summer league teammate of the Wahoos’ Elton Brown and Jason Clark, players whom he speaks to on the phone about once a week.

Redick also admits that he is focusing on this game for another reason; if his blood was not Duke blue, he would be playing for the Cavaliers. “If I hadn’t grown up a Duke fan, I think I probably would have gone to UVa,” Redick said. “I think it means something for this game. Playing against [Clark and Brown]... we won so many games together, to go against them is kind of fun.”

Virginia defeated Duke when the two met in Charlottesville last season, but this new Blue Devil team does not feel much of a need to enact revenge this evening. “We’re a totally different team than last year,” Duke senior Dahntay Jones said. “We’re on a mission and UVa’s our next opponent. We have to handle our business. I don’t think there’s a revenge factor at all.”

been on ESPN2. This circus isn’t a nickel-and-dime show; it’s a fullfledged national cash machine. On Dec. 15, I saw the circus in person, as Leßron and company made a stop in Pittsburgh’s Mellon Arena to take on the local New Castle Hurricanes. Press row featured a writer from Denver’s Rocky Mountain News, as well as a member of “Team James,” the posse responsible for protecting the King. In the stands sat Jerome Bettis, Plaxico Burress and a few other Pittsburgh Steelers. Typical crowd for a high school game. As for the game itself, James did not disappoint. Though he started off slow, he finished with 32 points and 12 boards. His stats were impressive, but did not begin to tell the tale of the game. From start to finish, James did as he wanted, and the defense was powerless to stop him. On one play, James cut to the hoop to receive an alley-oop pass. Though a Hurricane defender was in perfect position, he watched helplessly as James elevated over him and threw down the dunk. After watching the Irish leave the court with an 82-48 win, I followed them back to their locker room. If the game itself was center stage, then the postgame festivities provided quite the sideshow.

At the locker room door was James’ mother, screaming at security guards and telling them who was and was not allowed inside. Making the cut were the Steelers, who had come to extend their personal greetings. Not so lucky

was yours truly, who was sent to a room where a press conference would be held. I asked Irish coach Dru Joyce how he felt about the circus environment

surrounding his team, from the professional football players in the locker room to the throng of fans that would surround the team bus, hoping to get James’s autograph.

“Managing all of those things, that’s the tough part of the job,” Joyce said. “Coaching basketball has been relatively easy, but you have to manage that. These guys are 17, so for me as a coach, it’s important that they understand that we stay on course, that we don’t veer to the left or right because of what’s happening with the media. As great as it is, and with all of the good things that are being said about us and how we’re playing basketball, they could all be a negative with one bad game. These guys understand that, and it’s a lot of pressure, but these guys love the game.” As for James, he was unfazed by the presence of the Steelers. “Oh, I know Plaxico,” James said. “I met him at a Cavs game earlier this year.”

Around the room, reporters looked at

each other and smiled, realizing more and more what it’s like to live life as Leßron James. On the way out of the building, a security guard stopped us, telling us that we had to wait until James boarded his team’s bus before we could go to our cars. Again, we looked at each other and laughed. The circus rolled on.

Pickering picked again Every

now and then a president will nominate a judge to the federal bench who is so extreme, so removed from the opinions ofthe American public, that he is unfit to decide the most important court cases in the country. As much as the Democrats would like newly renominated Judge Charles Pickering to be that kind of nominee, and as much as Pickering lacks a spotless record, Democrats have yet to make a compelling argument for blocking his nomination. Rather, their rhetoric against the current district court judge speaks to a growing dilemma in the nomination and confirmation of federal judges. President George W. Bush first nominated Pickering to the U.S. Court ofAppeals in 2001. Following tumultuous confirmation hearings and a party-line vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, his nomination failed. Administration officials hinted at renominating him, and despite the racial controversy surrounding Pickering’s mentor, former Senate majority leader Trent Lott, Bush renominated Pickering last week. That Pickering could share Lott’s nostalgia for segregation is troubling, which makes it all the more curious why Bush would want to give the Lott affair new life by renominating Pickering. Nevertheless, the Democrats have yet to find in Pickering’s history the kind of pseudo-segregationist background that cost Lott his position as majority leader. They have tied him to vaguely segregationist activities in the 1950s and 60s, such as a paper he wrote in law school that suggested strengthening laws against interracial marriage. But so far the greatest sin on his record is a 1994 case in which he sought a reduced sentence for a man convicted of cross-burning. Many points of the case are still in contention, including the man’s level ofinvolvement in the crime, and there is nothing to document clearly that Pickering is a racist, only that he is a convenient target for Democrats. That is not to suggest that Pickering would be an ideal jurist, only that the objections to his nomination are bigger than a relatively obscure decision. Republican charges that Democrats are holding Bush’s 30 nominations hostage to other legislative priorities are true, but, as one would expect, the Democrats are not the only culprit. For the last 20 years, both Democratic and Republican presidents have seen their nominations pronounced dead-on-arrival by hostile senators. Even Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, in an unusual move, has spoken out against the situation and the problems it creates for the judicial branch. Thankfully the situation has not reached the point ofcrisis, but eventually the president and the Congress need to forge a compromise that will fill the federal benches while also protecting the moderate nature of the judiciary. Considering the case Democrats have made against Pickering so far, whether that compromise begins with Pickering is largely unimportant.

SYSTEM

Building a village It’s been 18 months since I joined the Duke community as vice president for student affairs. When I arrived, several reforms were well under way including the construction of the West-Edens Link and plans to house all sophomores on West Campus and to relocate selective houses off the West Main Corridor.

Larry Moneta Guest Commentary These changes were motivated by a desire to extend to the sophomore class the same quality of community that first-year students already experience. Duke’s leadership also wanted the West Main Corridor to serve as open space for the community, and to provide sufficient bed space on West Campus for most students who wanted to five there. These reforms set the stage for improving the residential experience, particularly on West Campus. Creating a community model based on quads and adding a live-in profes-

age needs of student groups—and to do all this in away that links these building visually and aesthetically with something more attractive and functional then the concrete bridge that connects the Bryan Center with West Union. Needless to say, this is going to be an important undertaking, so please watch for invitations to voice your opinion. Physical alterations alone, though, won’t be enough to address the student community experience at Duke. As every undergraduate knows, the social scene here is changing. West Campus section parties that were once heralded as the cornerstone of the Duke experience no longer serve that role. Increasingly, students are seeking a wider variety of activities, a welcome change that reflects the growing maturity and sophistication of the student body. Through the solid work of the Duke University Union, we’ve seen attendance grow substantially at the Saturday night BC/’Dillo band series, at the regular DUI productions in the Hideaway and through ticket sales to “Broadway at Duke” and the many other arts offerings on and near campus. Even as the social culture shifts, we must address residual behaviors that continue to bring harm to students. Excessive use of alcohol and other substances still result in more than 50 hospitalizations annually. Hazing ritu-

sional staff brought together residents with advisers and student leaders with mentors. It also offered a reasonable balance between accommodating students by sub-groups (fraternities and selectives) and by broader interests. We were able to institute all of these changes over the past summer so they were in als dishonor the good work of fraternities and sororities, and the all-too-frequent occurrence place for the fall semester. We hope that the quads, which Duke creatof sexual assaults is a disgrace that should ed as intermediate-sized residential centers, embarrass and outrage us all. I challenge all will evolve into real communities. We want Duke students to rise to the occasion and them to become places that foster intellectual exhibit the leadership that brought you here to engagement as well as their traditionally learn and to interact.

The Chronicle

De ining a religion Religions are defined not only by ideals but by realities not just by their deepest and most beautiful insights, but by their adherents behavior. So while Christianity’s most profound principles are mercy and forgiveness, the reality of Christianity in the Middle Ages and colonial period was inquisitions and empires. When moderate Muslims state terrorist attacks are disconnected from Islam, they ignore the reality that Islamic fundamentalist imperialists act in the name of Islam and Muslims, claiming “true Islam’s” mantle from conspicuously absent moderates. This reality must be confronted especially because many Muslims argue against separating church from state. Hence, Islam exists as spiritual ideal and political reality. Until the realization that theocracies cannot be democracies dawns Bala throughout the Islamic world, saying terAmbati rorism is disconnected from Islam is a smokescreen employed to abdicate Sweep of Daylight responsibility to face reality. Over centuries, Christians broke the Church’s stranglehold over politics and ended religious persecution with moral and physical force, teachings and wars. The founding moral flaw of the United States, slavery, was confronted intellectually and ended in four years of titanic war. Yet Islamic fundamentalist imperialism has usurped the face of Islam with little resistance from moderate Muslims Today when some Americans oppose conflict with Iraq, they protest “Not in my name” or “No blood for oil”; where are moderate Muslims protesting the actions of Islamic fundamentalists with “Not in our name” banners or “No blood for Qur’an”? There are countless demonstrations by MuslimAmericans against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, but almost none against Osama bin Laden’s treatment of Americans. Replies that Islamic fundamentalists don’t represent Muslims are irrelevant; they claim to without a murmur of renunciation and are esteemed by multitudes throughout the Islamic world cheering bin Laden as Robin Hood. It’s vital not to let others speak in your name if you disagree, especially if they speak with guns and bombs. Rather than take on terrorist co-religionists, MuslimAmerican organizations compare themselves to Jews in Weimar Germany an offensive depiction ofAmerica. Nowhere is silence of moderate Muslims’ voices more deafening than in discourse on suicide bombing, which glues the hydra-headed Islamic fundamentalist imperialism. Numerous imams, including at the holy mosque of Mecca and the esteemed al-Azhar university in Egypt, issue fatwas approving suicide bombing, while “opposing” Muslims remain silent, state it is merely counterproductive while being nonjudgmental or proffer inane excuses for the inexcusable. Apologists for suicide bombing who qualify moral judgment with equivocal “Yes, but”s have regard for neither history nor consequence. Saying suicide-bombing is used by the weapon-less is nonsense: Gandhi, Mandela and King achieved tremendous success without violence. Waving them off as unique reveals a soft bigotry that Palestinians and Muslims cannot distinguish right from wrong, valor from cruelty or self-determination from mass murder. Another platitude, “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” romanticizes suicide bombers as comparable to Washington, Che Guevara, Patrick Henry or de Gaulle. This is the menace ofcliche: Statements without substance pervert history, as those leaders targeted military assets, never sending suicide-bombers to kill opponents’ civilians or children. The world cannot afford the luxury of waiting centuries for Islamic societies to evolve. The prophet Muhammad said, ‘Whoever sees evil, let him change it with his hand, and if not able then with his mouth and if still not able then hate it within his heart... Allah does not punish the general public because of wrongdoing of specific people unless they see evil while able to stop it and do not.” Moderate Muslims must choose whether to let megalomaniacs, liars, misogynists and murderers hijack societies and religion and pilot them into destruction’s abyss. Sidelines are not moral high ground. Unequivocally repudiating and forswearing terrorist methods and imperialist aims of Islamic fundamentalism by moderate Muslims is overdue. This requires calling the present jihad by mujahadeen and martyrs awaiting paradise its name, hirabah (unholy war) by mufsidoon (evildoers) bound for jahannam (hell).

Got diversity? So you spent last semester abroad and now you’ve had a week to get back in the swing. Notice anything dif- p* ferent? Thought so. % Sure, the Chapel is H still beautiful, the Ifcg BC still sucks, students are still comTom plaining, the basBurney ketball team is BuyaVowel good, the football team is bad, 9:10 is still a pain. Some

things never change. But some things do. We have Subway now, The Great Hall is better, the WEL is open and the construction has migrated from Edens to Main West and Science Drive. But something else has changed—something bigger. Let me help you. Duke feels a little different because you don’t recognize as many faces on campus as you d>d last year. The entire sophomore class is on West Campus, which has helped scatter the junior and senior classes more than in the past. An idea behind this is to avoid self-segregation by forcing students of all races to live together for two consecutive years. This may alter the status quo, in which Central Campus has statistically more minority students than West Campus. The measuring stick of a school is not only the education it provides a student, but also the diversity surrounding that student. Duke wants to measure up. Don’t get me wrong, I recognize the many positive aspects that diversity brings to any situation. There

are few on this planet who would not benefit from walking a mile in his or her neighbor’s shoes. Having neighbors and peers who are different from us forces us to see different sides ofevery issue. It’s good training for law school. I’m just saying that there may be a little too much emphasis. After all, no matter who attends this school, we are all still students. Yes, this may seem like a simple observation, but think about whom you see every day, versus whom you see when you run errands off campus. While there may be some racial and socioeconomic diversity on our campus, we still spend most of our on-campus life surrounded by bright young people. You may argue that we interact with University employees every day, but when was the last time you said anything more than “Chicken wrap with lettuce and honey mustard” to any of them? I don’t think that should count. If you want real diversity, check out Cameron and see our top-ranked women play some basketball. I try to do this often, as their brand of basketball is more visually appealing than that ofthis year’s men’s team. Picture yourself in Cameron, just after halftime. Yes, a top-ranked Duke is stomping some hapless

opponent, but the similarities between the men’s and women’s games stop there. A quick look around the stadium lets you know that it’s a different crowd. For one, there’s plenty of room for everyone. You can walk in at tip-off and stand at center court, provided you don’t

feel bad about blocking the view of the Girl Scout troop behind you. Keep looking and you’ll see that the upper level has more lesbians than anywhere else on campus. Crazy Towel Guy is up there too, but he’s on the wrong side of the court. See your friends anywhere? Maybe. A few hundred students might show up, if the homework load is light for the night and

there’s nothing at Parizade. The Crazies are a little less crazy, but the cheers ring truer; nobody is here because their friends are. At this point, I won’t discount the canned diversity produced by the new housing plan, but I will say that it’s a far cry from the real thing. People join together when they have something in common (e.g., an interest in basketball), not when they are told to like each other. Like mom scooping Brussels sprouts onto your plate, the almighty administrators have once again disregarded the wishes of the student body, with its best interests in mind. This has happened before, a prominent example being the allfreshmen-pn-East decision. I think that most current undergrads would consider that a good decision, but it met with heavy opposition at the time. While many of us (mostly upperclassmen) disagree strongly with this housing plan, it mayprove its worth a few years down the road. For now, try to enjoy the game. Tom Burney is a Pratt junior.
