Report looks at impact of Title IX New policy
draws RA opposition
By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle
A Department of Education committee’s report on Title IX guidelines, set to debut today, will likely challenge schools to find away to increase and maintain parity for women without cutting opportunities for male athletes. A final copy of the report, authored by the Commission on Opportunity in Athletics, which convened last summer, will be presented to Rod Paige,

the U.S. Secretary of Education. The report focuses on the alleged drain of resources from men’s programs in response to the federally mandated beefing-up of women’s programs. “It’s hard to deny that some institutions that have chosen to comply with Title IX [have led to a decline in} the number of wrestling programs,” said Chris Kennedy, associate director of athletics. “We have the resources here just barely to get into compliance without dropping men’s sports.” The 30-year-old Title IX, passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972, was aimed at bringing the level of female participation in college athletics to at least the. proportion of women enrolled at a given university. The statute bans gender discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal money. The report offers 23 recommendations, ranging from the vague—reaffirming a commitment to “equal opportunity and the elimination of discrimination for girls and boys, women and men”—to the pointed, including many recommendations for the Office of Civil Rights to more clearly enforce
and define compliance. Tthought, of the 23 recommendations, the vast majority were vague exhortations to the Department of Education to provide more information, reexamine regulations [and] encourage the NCAA to do something or other,” Kennedy said. “A lot of them were vague and not likely to produce much.” Among the most tangible recommendations of See TITLE IX on page 8

JUNIOR MICHAEL MITCHELL and the men’s wrestling team suffer from certain Title IX requirements aimed at aiding women's athletics. A new report questions some of those effects.
Eddie Hull, director of residential life and housing services, is defending new policies for residential advisers, as the plan draws fire from current RAs. Hull released the new contract to RAs and RA applicants last week, emphasizing a new on-call schedule for RAs, more sensitivity to RA presence and availability in residence halls, and a new compensation package. RAs will now begin weeknight on-call coverage at 7 p.m. instead of 8 p.m., more RAs will be required to remain at Duke during major breaks when the halls are open, and weekend coverage will be doubled, so two RAs will be on call throughout the year on West Campus and for the first month on East Campus. Deb Loßiondo, assistant dean of students, said on average, RAs will not see a significantly larger on-call burden, since graduate assistants will be part of the oncall rotation next year. Hull said the expanded coverage responded to a desire to create more community within the quads and increase safety. He added that the plan will evolve and that nothing in it is firmly set—espedally doubling RA coverage on West. “On West, frankly, the environment is different,” he said. “But if history is a See RESIDENTIAL ADVISERS on page 8
Slovik runs on platform of experience, approachability This is the fourth story in a five-part series profiling this year’s candidates for Duke Student Government president. By ANDREW GERST and BECKY YOUNG The Chronicle
When junior Matthew Slovik applied to the University, he was looking for the “complete college experience”—a vibrant social scene on campus and a strong liberal arts education. Now, as he runs for Duke Student Government president, Slovik said he has high hopes for continuing Xf that all-encompassing experience for future classes. Jl A brother of Kappa Alpha Order who hails from Newton, Mass., Slovik cites what he calls his unique vision of the president’s role as an approachable and inspiring leader and his experience in DSG as two assets that him apart from the rest of the candidates. As a freshman, Slovik served as a DSG legislator, and during his sophomore year he was the vice president of facilities and athletics. “I think DSG can do a lot of good for the student body,” said Slovik, a public policy studies major. “I’ve seen [the executive committee] work well and what it looks like [for DSG] to be cohesive. But at the same

time, there are things that need to be addressed.” Slovik, who spent last semester studying in Florence, also stressed his ability to achieve tangible results. His successful campaign for the implementation of a flyering policy reflects his commitment to getting things done, he said. Former DSG president G. J. Walsh, Trinity ’O2, said Slovik’s role in leading a fundraiser after the Sept. 11 attacks was an example of his innovation and personal initiative. “He doesn’t need a whole lot of management,” Walsh said. “He just gets stuff done himself.” Slovik said safety has been one of his greatest concerns, explaining that he played a vital role in the installation of additional blue safety phones throughout Central Campus and along Science Drive. Additionally, Slovik says he is confronting issues of safety off campus. “I’ve gotten complaints about SAFE Rides. We need to increase van numbers,” Slovik said. ‘We’ve continued to integrate... having taxis on [FLEX].” Slovik said maintaining a visible presence around campus is integral to a successful presidency. “If you can always find the president in his office, something’s wrong,” he said. “People should know who you are, and you should be approachable.” If elected, Slovik would insist that legislators feel like they could approach him. He said he recognizes

The new building is planned to be taller than the trade center towers, which briefly stood as the world’s tallest at 1,350 feet. Libeskind’s tower also would surpass Malaysia’s 1,483-
LMDC Chair John Whitehead telephoned Libeskind with the news, the source said, telling the architect that his “vision has brought hope and inspiration to a city still recovering from a terrible tragedy.”
Libeskind told the chair that being selected is “a life-changing experience,” the source said. Nine proposals for redeveloping the trade center site, where nearly 2,800 people died Sept. 11, 2001, were unveiled Dec. 18. The design competition was launched after an initial set of plans, released in July, was derided as boring and overstuffed with office space. Redevelopment officials were scheduled to announce the decision publicly Thursday. After the two plans were chosen as finalists earlier this month, both teams of architects were asked to revise their designs to make them more easily realized.
Blix report questions Iraqi disarmament By EDITH LEDERER The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS As fresh signs emerged that the United States is making headway in winning support for military action against Iraq, chief UN. inspector Hans Blix provided the Bush administration with new ammunition Wednesday, saying Baghdad has not provided evidence of “a fundamental decision” to disarm. Blix welcomed Iraq’s recent letters that contained new information about its weapons programs but said they did not represent “full cooperation or a breakthrough.” Nonetheless, he noted that inspections resumed only in November after a four-year break and asked: “Is it the right time to close the door?” The chief inspector’s comments came hours before he delivered a 16-page written report on the progress of in-
spections and Iraq’s cooperation to Secretary General Kofi Annan, who will then send it to the Security Council. Blix handed it in three days before the Saturday deadline. Saturday is also the deadline Blix has set for Saddam Hussein to begin destroying Iraq’s A1 Samoud 2 missiles, their engines and components for exceeding a mandated 93-mile limit. Blix’s report and Iraq’s decision on the missiles are expected to be influential in whether the Security Council supports a US.-backed resolution that would pave the way to war. Mexico appeared to be the first among the undecided council members to shift toward the US. position, and an important Russian lawmaker, Mikhail Margelov, said Wednesday he doesn’t believe his country would veto the resolution.

For now, both candidates hope to bring their experience and energy to bear as the chief academic conduit between students and the administration. Peloso believes she has the enthusiasm and dedicationnecessary to succeed in the job, as well as relevant expertise. “The nature of this position has a lot to do with knowing how the system works, how to relate to administrators,” she said, adding that as executive secretary of DSG, she was able to work with all executive board members and “see how everything worked.” During her one-year tenure, Peloso instituted and coordinated a workstudy program to keep the DSG office

McClendon Tower to host game room, media center By JENNI HAINSFURTHER
Junior Clifford Davison, DSG’s vice president for facilities and athletics, voiced his support for Campus
Students will soon have more social space available, as two of the three remaining vacant floors in McClendon Tower will take shape this spring. Director of Residential Life and Housing Services Eddie Hull said he expects floors two and three of the McClendon Tower, in the West-Edens Link, to be converted into nonalcoholic social space this semester. The second floor will become a multimedia center, with televisions and a projection system, while the third floor will be transformed into a game room, featuring pool, air hockey, foosball and card tables.

of the fifth floor has yet to be resolved. Campus Council played an influential role in Hull’s decision of how to fill two of the three vacant floors in
McClendon Tower. “At the beginning of the year we made a recommendation that floor two become a game room, sort of a billiard-room type atmosphere, floor three become a movie theater, and that the fifth floor become a sports-
themed lounge/music hall type space,” said Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin. The recommendation, passed in October after several weeks of discussion, proposed that the fifth floor lounge serve beer, some alcoholic mixed drinks, nonalcoholic beverages and food.
that would be now.” Still, students hoping for an on-campus bar to replace the Hideaway will have to wait for future planning to see if their dream will be fulfilled. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta has said the addition of a bar will be considered as proposals for the new student village come to light. “With the creation of a new student village and the movement of underage sophomores into the WEL, I now have doubts on whether [a bar] is the best development of that space,” Davison added. In the end, the ultimate decision on how the fifth floor will be utilized rests with Hull, who said that in the meantime the space will be available for a variety of purposes. “It’s such a unique space that I want to take the time needed to think through its best use [si,” Hull wrote in an e-mail. Currently, all three vacant floors are being used for a variety of activities and can be reserved through the Event Advising Center. Previous uses of the space included Campus Council’s Casino Night
and Sorority New Member Recruitment. Many students who live in the WEL or Edens agreed it will be nice to have social spaces closer to their residences. “I like Campus Council’s ideas,” sophomore Kunal Shah said. “It’d be nice for students in Edens and the WEL not to have to go all the way to the EC to catch a game or a movie.” Sophomore Rachel Hoffer agreed, and recommended that one floor be used as a computer cluster and another be turned into a bar. “Everything else is so far away, like [Armadillo Grill],” said Hoffer, who lives in Edens. Sophomore Lily Kinross-Wright proposed that one floor become a dance floor that student groups could reserve. “I took a dance class last semester—there’s nowhere to practice,” said Kinross-Wright, adding that she would like to see the addition of a study room with
comfortable furniture. Hull said he envisions a tower that will be “a viable gathering place for students.” He clarified his expectations, saying, “The hope would always be that the tower would be seen and used by students as a destination; an alternative that provides casual opportunities to hang out with friends, catch a meal, have a cup of coffee, read a newspaper, watch some TV, attend a film series or interesting lecture, or play some board games.”

Officials await completion of new admissions building By JEFF FINCH The Chronicle
Although officials hoped the new addition to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions would be completed in time for the wave of spring break visits from prospective Duke students, the building will probably not be completed until late March or early April. The new building is intended to provide a better welcome to prospective students than the current facilities can offer, through a more spacious facility for presentations. Construction was mainly slowed because of snow and ice, but the project should be complete for the high-volume months of April and May, said Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions. The structure itself is complete but interior finishing work and landscaping remains to be done. Officials expect to obtain a certificate of occupancy from the city ofDurham by late March. The new building is centered around a large presentation room comfortably seating 150 prospective students or visitors. A projection screen will allow videos and slide shows to be used in the presentations, and a kitchen will also be available for possible catering functions. In the past, prospective students often complained of large crowds having to cram into admissions space, which comfortably seats only 45 people. Some days, as many as 400 students visit the school, forcing admissions officers to lead visiting groups down Chapel Drive to an open classroom or lecture hall for the presentation. “I didn’t come on any special weekend, so I don’t think there was an abnormal amount of people, but my mom and I had to stand the whole time,” freshman Farokh Irani said ofhis admissions visit last year. With the new building, admissions officers hope this will no longer be necessary. “The idea is this—we will have about 18,000 people visit us this year and we want to welcome them in the best way possible,” Guttentag said. “For over half of our visitors, the living room we have is too small for our information session. From a logistical and welcoming per-
A WORKER prepares to paint the interior of a room within the new addition to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions spective, it just made sense to build this addition.” The need for the new building has been around for years, but it was not until the Office of Undergraduate Admissions received the funding from the Board of Trustees a few years ago that they started work on the project. University Architect John Pearce planned the addition so the new building would be structurally similar to the current admissions building, which once served as the president’s house. The same Duke stone and slate that cover the walls and roof of the original building adorn the new one. The unique curve ofthe roofand design ofthe windows have also been duplicated. The new building is designed with the comfort of visitors in mind, Guttentag said. The building lies behind the original and will have a new parking lot that accommodates 17 cars, built to meet parking needs.
Overflow parking will be directed to the nearby Duke Gardens lot, which will be connected to the admissions office by a path. Visitors will enter into the entrance hall of the new building before being ushered into the presentation room. After the presentation, they will have a chance to take a tour ofthe campus. Guttentag hopes to put in a sitting wall outside for people to relax on between information sessions. He hopes the improvements will make visits flow more smoothly, and will put the visitation part of Duke’s recruitment process on par with that of other upper-tier schools to which Duke students also apply. “The four things I love about this new building are the space it offers, the flexibility it gives us, the ability to have audio-visual presentations and that we are going to be able to welcome visitors more appropriately,” Guttentag said.

Atheist discusses challenge to Pledge of Allegiance By MELISSA SOUCY The Chronicle
Buying soap may seem to be among the more mundane of human activities. But for Dr. Michael Newdow, it was a moment of epiphany that inspired him to challenge the constitutionality of what many know as American patriotism, claiming the government’s acceptance of prolific references to God infringe on
his beliefs. “I see on the $2O bill, ‘ln God We Trust, m Newdow, an atheist, told an audience of more than 50 at the School of Law Wednesday. “And I’m thinking, T don’t trust in God. What is this?”’ The practicing emergency room doctor with a law degree from the University of Michigan has been the target of national applause, ridicule and threat since last summer, when California’s 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his plea deeming the phrase “under God,” added into the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, unconstitutional. Because a “state-employed” teacher in a “staterun” school forced his eight-year old daughter to recognize the existence of God by saying the pledge every day, Newdow said he felt he had more standing to argue against this rather than the motto written on currency. “[By including the phrase ‘under God’] the government tells people there is no reason to give credence to an atheist in our society,” Newdow said. Despite losing in district court, Newdow continued representing himself, appealing and successfully winning his case in appeals court in June 2002. While the court of appeals placed a hold on its decision and will decide whether or not to rehear the case, Newdow said he has the advantage in any subsequent trial. “I feel like Goliath because the case law is on our side,” he said. His main strategy attacks the inconsistency between references to God—like those in the pledge or on currency—and the Establishment Clause in the Bill of Rights: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
Newdow also cited tests used in previous court cases that upheld the separation of church and state. The coercion test, for example, derives from the 1991 Lee v. Weisman case, in which the Supreme Court declared prayer at a middle school graduation unconstitutional. Newdow said if a one-time occurrence like graduation was considered coercion, then daily recitation of the pledge by younger, more vulnerable children is certainly coercion as well. If the case goes to another trial, he expects the defense to claim the “under God” phrase is acceptable because of the many references to God on currency and in many national songs. “I’m sure in Brown v. the Board of Education [the defendants] said, ‘We have segregation at the ballpark,... we have segregation in the theater. It must be okay to have segregation in school,’” Newdow said, highlighting the weakness of this tactic. “[Newdow’s strategy] is frighteningly intelligent. He definitely goes about things differently than a professional attorney,” said Chris Mills, a secondyear law student and member of the Duke branch of
the American Civil Liberties Union, which sponsored the speech. Legal strategy aside, students had differing opinions on Newdow’s case. First-year law student Matt Durham said the phrase “under God” should remain a part of the Pledge ofAllegiance. “The way I understand the establishment clause is to mean no state-sponsored religion. The founders did not intend it to mean no religion in government. They were known to be religious men,” Durham said. Others added that removing “under God” from the pledge will lead to trials on every national song or motto containing the word God. However, first-year law student Jay Barasch said the pledge is an exception. “The reason we can say it’s unconstitutional to say you can’t have God in the pledge but not on currency or as a motto is because the pledge is said in school where children are very impressionable,” Barasch said. “We are encouraging [children that] they should believe in God to be a good American.”
DR. MICHAEL NEWDOW plays songs he composed about his struggle to remove the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.

affairs Lyndsay Beal, developing concrete goals and relationships with administrators. “Last year I really had the dedication to do the job, but I didn’t have the experience,” said Reaves, who has spent the year working on the DSG academic affairs and library committees. “I’ve seen myself go from knowing nothing about academic affairs to being one of the most knowledgeable people about academic affairs at the University.” Working on this year’s projects—including the implementation ofSAGES —Reaves said he has acquired a network of contacts and practice getting things done. If elected, he would strengthen the pre-major advising system by giving advisers more training for Curriculum 2000; work to publicize the new Duke Community Standard, which will replace the University’s current honor code in the fall; and increase the scope of SAGES, broadening the program to Pratt and encouraging professors to opt in to the course evaluation system. Reaves would like to see DSG push toward its goals harder than it has in the past. “We need to not be afraid to lose,” he said, citing DSG’s reluctance to confront the administration on contentious issues. “I’m not for flying into the face of brick walls, but there are some things worth fighting for.” He said the organization’s effectiveness depends on cohesion within the legislature, and therefore favors a move to a ticket voting system that will allow
the importance of clear communication to accomplish goals. “I think the president has to be able to keep DSG heading in the right direction,” Slovik said. “You have to be able to empower those around you to accomplish their own goals.” Former Union president Brady Beecham—who worked with Slovik when he was a DSG representative to the Union board last year—commented that Slovik has the skills to motivate students around him. “I think he has an ability to communicate effectively,” she said. “He’s just a very personable individual, and I think he really cares about what’s going on on this campus.” Improving life for students on all campuses is another one ofSlovik’s objectives. He explained the next DSG president should deal with such issues as study space and computer clusters on Central Campus, as well as taking a role in renovations to the Bryan Center. “I think it’s important to look at the Bryan Center
as a student center,” Slovik said, adding that he likes some ofVice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta’s ideas for the new student village and thinks renovations to the Bryan Center are essential. “Looking at what’s reasonable, I think the first step would be opening [the Bryan Center] up and seeing what’s in there,” he said. Slovik would like to see space for multiple student organizations in a central location within the new student center, supporting the belief that the University would benefit from more collaboration. “The three major student groups—DSG, Campus Council and the Union board—could do so much good if they work together,” Slovik explained. “We have to look at increasing the interaction between
these groups.”

adviser and as an instructor in the education program. He worked with the Samuel Dußois Cook Society to promote diversity at Duke. Originally from Rochester, N.Y., Rodas came to Duke in fall 1997 from Stanford University, where he received an MBA and a doctorate in higher education. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Williams College and a master’s degree from Harvard University. He credited Duke’s “entrepreneurship” with drawing him to Durham. “I was attracted to the entrepreneurship and the opportunity to work with Dr. Trask,” Rodas said. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my work at Duke and my colleagues, the faculty, staff and students—and I’ll
the report was that “walk-on” athletes no longer count as participating athletes, although the report did not clearly define walk-on or examine how that would affect schools with no scholarships at all. Clar Anderson, head coach of the wrestling team at Duke, said that at some schools, walk-on wrestlers, who participate in practice and cost a university nothing, have been prohibited because of Title DC enforcement. “There’s some folks who’ve suggested removing the roster cap, which emanates from the proportionality of the quota, but at Duke, we haven’t done that,” he said. The report also takes aim at the “three-prong test” of proportionality—first, the number of athletes must be proportional to the number of male and female athletes; second, the institution should have a history of continued program expansion for women’s sports; or third, the school must show that it has fully accommodated women’s interests and ability on campus. The report called for the Office of Civil Rights to clarify the tests and ensure schools balance all three. Kennedy said the three-prong test comes down to the first test—absolute proportionality—since the second

Some juniors doubted the need for two RAs on the weekend. East Campus RA Heman Urrego, a junior, said he understood many of the proposed changes, but felt that on West Campus, they might not be as necessary. “For the role of the RA, in terms of helping out students and what they need, there needs to be one RA, but there doesn’t need to be two RAs to [unlock] a door,” he said. “The few times that two RAs are needed, they can always call the police. I don’t think another RA is necessary at all. I think it’s superfluous.” Urrego said he took greater issue with the way

He added that few schools have successfully argued compliance with the third test. “I would feel uncomfortable going to court with a bunch of surveys in my hands saying, We don’t have women’s student tiddlywinks, because only 1 percent of the student body wants it,”’ Kennedy said, Duke, which was sued with 24 other schools in 1997 for noncompliance with Title IX, currently offers 41.2 percent of its scholarships to women and hopes to achieve 48 percent. Kennedy argued one positive change that could come from the report is more consistency from different regional offices ofthe Office of Civil Rights—currently, he said, schools on the East Coast and on the West Coast may be held to different standards. Anderson said he saw the injustices toward women in sports because his mother was a physical education teacher and a coach herself, but said there has nevertheless been a negative impact on sports like wrestling, men’s gymnastics and men’s swimming. “It’s galvanized the sporting community and the wrestling community to rally around and fight some of the injustices, but the National Wrestling Coaches Association wants to be very clear that they’re not against Title IX,” he said.

Manipulation Of History
are many Dukies who cite history as "not worth studying" (or even knowing) as it's not applicable to their"career." That's fine and dandy—just doodle all over your notes and curse
Curriculum 2000. But for all the resistance to studying history, people love watching movies about it. Popular culture is always trying to reproduce "the most authentic" renditions of World War 11,The Civil War... even the epics of Rome and Scotland. History is an ever-present and malleable force —it dictates our lives, beliefs and even our heritage. Malleable because it's biased, biased because the reality is often lost. An accurate historical record is more than just war, politics and the actions of men the history which we see in the cinema. That's what Hollywood tries to do for us. The formula is simple; take an "interesting" story, add in some "cool details," fill in the gaps with the narrative of a historical character and wrap it up into a $2OO million, Oscar-burping epic. In a society that doesn't stress history in schools, we end up relying on film as an educational medium Even in an academic setting, I was presented Braveheart in a high school European history class and Gettysburg in a Duke History class. I love Randall Wallace, but Braveheart is so historically inaccurate it wou to Batman chasing Indians. r the fact that it was set 200 before the first uniformed a, the bagpipe had yet to be im from Ireland, that it took pla< outside of the "highlands," tl plaid kilts were not worn at the time, that the Scots never got anywhere near York and that the legend of "jus primae noctis" (the lord getting to sleep with all his vassal's brides) is one of the —
biggest farces in all of human history—the movie, yeah it's pretty entertaining. You probably didn't know anything about Scottish history anyway. The Civil War is an entirely different matter. It's central to the heritage of many American families, and the political consequences of slavery and Reconstruction still produce the most bitter of repercussions. Gods and Generals, which opened last Friday, is the account of Bull Run through Chancellorsville—yes, when the South OWNED the North. Ronald Maxwell, the director and screenwriter of Generals and Gettysburg, said he set out to make the most authentic representation of the Civil War possible. He focuses on perfecting the "details" and "facts" that we end up taking home and recite in class. The story centers around the most "well known" of characters—-the legendary Stonewall Jackson. Maxwell, and the book's author Jeff Shaara, turn him into a figure of almost mythic proportions: God-fearing, poet-speaking, brilliant, child-loving, emotional, kind, reflective—he's Mother Teresa. Never mind that many historians consider him mentally ill, never mind the fact that his brigade was known as the "Foot Calvary" because he executed all stragglers. His character in the film even preaches against the evils of slavery, treating black slaves as his equals. This isn't the glorification of the South, it's the glorification of history. We romanticize so much within histoie swords of the Middle ica's obsession with reenactWar. The problem doesn't lie laccuracies of these Y're entertaining, just as film I be.

Kind. ol t/ue :
Long-absent actor Kurt Russel! summons every last ounce of his trademark blue-eyedbad-boy charm in Hollywood's latest goodcop/bad-cop film release, Dark Blue, directed by Ron Shelton. The movie begins with blurry police footage of the Rodney King beating in 1991 LA. This disturbing introduction sets the tone for the many controversial acts of vio-
lence that follow. Some have compared this film to Training Day, coupled with complaints that Kurt "ain't no Denzel!" This may be gbiiiib. true, but somehow Russell's B brooding presence and steely stares fill in enough of the storyline's potholes to make Dark Blue a memorable film in its own right. Had Russell not thrown himself into this role as completely as he did, the predictable plot would have tossed Dark Blue into the Bmovie bin as forgettabiy as ail of his films since Tombstone. Fortunately for action-movie fans, the film contains plenty of random bloodshed and could even stand a little more well-placed carnage in its illustration of Russell as the coldblooded, high-profile LARD, detective. Even more riveting than the film's suspenseful scenes is Russell’s embodiment of his character, it's so thorough that his face saturates each frame with raw feeling. The emotional subplots serve their purpose well and the movie ends with enough incomplete resolutions to escape the common trap of having things tie together too easily to be believable. Maybe this weathered, husky-voiced cop's got a chance at reviving his career. —Allison Gianino —Tom Roller

you flip on the TV or turn on the radio, you're liable to think that you're stuck in an early '9os time warp. From the return of bands fronted by grunge progenitors Chris Cornell and Billy Corgan in the form of Audioslave and Zwan to the revival of Lollapalooza, by all superficial accounts it would seem that the '9os are back. However, behind Cornell's raspy voice and Corgan's familiar face, a much more subtle transformation is revealing itself through both the music and the way it's being received. Despite the presence of blaring headlines declaring that "Rock is Back," the years of pop-heavy music at the end of the '9os have taken their toll, and the revival, more glitz than grunge, is not a revolution. In the early '9os themselves, the onslaught of grunge amounted to a complete overhaul of the teen pop that dominated the late 'Bos. This time around, though, pop in its various forms seems to be hanging on a little longer, pervading the sound of rock. Zwan, for instance, replaces the Smashing Pumpkins' searing hard rock with poppier hooks and a happier, more hopeful Billy Corgan This carefree attitude is also present, to some extent, in the more aggressive supergroup Audioslave. Both Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden had serious overtones, r with Rage's emphasis on politics and Soundgarden's on introspection. While Audioslave sounds a lot like these earlier groups, they aren't saying anything, and their more carefree vibe makes them seem more like the direct descendants of the late '9os rap-rock explosion. But while these groups seem to
have the pop-influenced nature of modern rock down, they lack the innovative spirit of their early '9os ancestors. What's more, it's this very creativity that the music-buying public seems to be seeking. The Strokes and Norah Jones illustrate the more inventive side of the current music scene, and people are buying it. Moreover, a quick Billboard analysis reveals that the public is once again hungry for the innovation Nirvana and their ilk provided to a starved audience. The most explicit evidence of this may be the fact that neither Zwan nor Audioslave have caught on with American buyers. Zwan's Mary, Star of the Sea debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 albums chart and has since dropped like a rock, falling to number 27 its second week out and to number 58 this week. Audioslave isn't faring much better. After peaking at number seven, their album has since languished. In light of this, the return of Lollapalooza seems illconceived. The latest relic in this early '9os J. resurgence plans to feature Jane's Addiction and Audioslave among other bands on its revival tour this summer. Once again, this lineup seems like a throwback, given that many ■

-tTie s>£(i Last summer, I was sitting in a lopsided wooden rocking chair on the porch of my best friend's country house. It was a quiet midnight, yet through a splintered window, I heard for the first time the initial broken jazz pulse, the elegant pentatonic guitar chords and the genre-blending prowess of The Slip. As their 1997 debut release, From The Gecko, evolved through skillful jazz instrumentals, highly concentrated funk and anything from perfectly executed folk to polyrhythmic African influences, never once did any song beg for more. When the album did finish, the inspired crickets took up the guitar tones and my foot kept the rhythm in check. These guys were good. Realty good. The Slip—brothers, Andrew (percussion) and Brad Barr (guitar), along with Marc Friedman (bass) —heard the road beckoning early in their careers. Thank God they didn't resist—the trio has blown jazz heads and others away with superb live shows and three impressively innovative albums. In the newest release, Angels Come on Time (2002), songs range from instrumentals like prog rock turned jazz-on-crack "Get Me With Fuji" to the deliberate storytelling of "The Nashua Rose." So you want some advice? Listen to The Slip's three albums scoff at every musical cliche in their way, as

of the members of these bands have played the festival before! However, according to Perry Farrell, one of the tour's co-founders, these groups reflect a brandnew musical revolution. But what Farrell doesn't realize is that the very counter-revolutionary nature of these acts suggest that Lollapalooza may be out of touch with the innovative music it claims to represent. Unfortunately for Farrell, the wave he's riding crashed long ago. —Hilary Lewis
King’s Holy � �� � � � � � � Rocking Empire You've definitely heard this album before, from the Stones, Neil Young perhaps. Yet there's something in it that keeps you from quickly dismissing it. It's that infectious mix of jangling guitars, emotional vocals and a drumbeat that feet seem to unconsciously know how to tap to. It's Wilco with a little more dirt; Widespread Panic GRADE: m jnus 20 minutes. Not quite country, not quite garage, Kings of Leon fall somewhere in between, and on their new EP Holy Roller Novocaine, they move from blues to honky-tonk to straight-ahead guitar rock with a sense of comfort rarely seen in bands this young. The Southern quartet, composed of three broth-
B+
ers and their cousin, slide easily through the five tracks with lead singer Caleb Foliowill's Nashville drawl spanning sad whines and authoritative fast-talk
The middle track "California Waiting" is the highlight. Although it's a bit of an anomaly on the album with its slower pace and somber brightness, it immediately brings to mind a younger Jeff Tweedy with an upbeat melody and lyrical sadness. The song comes in lightly with a delicately twangy guitar riff and ends powerfully with a driving drum beat and hypnotic refrain "Can I get back my lonely light?" The rest of the album hits upon different variations of the same alt-country style. "Wasted Time" is an intense rockabilly exercise built around rapid-fire lyrics and a mumbled, repetitive chorus. "Molly's Chambers," the first track, is a funky garage tune about a girl who's "got it" and apparently doesn't mind giving it away. Though only five tracks long, Holy Roller Novocaine is not short on talent. With the impressive disc, Kings of Leon seem to make a promise that they are destined to make good on in future albums. —Andrew Galanopoulos

A Hummus by Any Other Name... Collectively
Recess' Taste writers have mentioned the word hummus 10 times in their reviews this year. That made me wonder: Exactly what makes some versions of this collection of mashed chick peas, tahlnland spices so good and others so utterly mediocre? Eight reviewers gathered on Sunday to answer this burning question, and the findings might surprise you. Six different "brands" of hummus were tasted: Saladelia's, International Delight's, George's Garage's, Mediterranean Deli's, Athenos' store-bought from Harris Teeter andArts Editor Vicki Kaplan's homemade batch. Testers rated the hummus on a 1 to 5 scale on four criteria: overall likability ias, drained and spiciness, consistency and authenticity.
Recipe d tahjnj

-1/4 cup fresh
lemon juice, or to
taste -1 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/4 cup olive oil, or to taste 1/2 cup water In a food processor, puree all the ingredients until the hummus is smooth. Add water, if necessary, to thin the hummus to the desired consistency and transfer the hummus to a bowl. Serve with pita or cut-up veggies! Mmmmm!
The Winner; George s Garage George's hummus swept all four categories, garnering a 4.1 out of sin overall likability. Although the tasters rated it slighton "thick side, all but two tasters agreed the spicing was near perfect. The Runner Up: Vicki’s homemade Whi | e George's was the run-away favorite, the next four varieties placed anywhere from second to fifth in the categories—and Vicki's was no exception. The homemade batch received second in both spicing and authenticity, but only third in overall likability and consistency.
Third Place:
Saladelia
My personal favorite received second place in overall likability but fell to fifth on the question of authenticity. Even high marks on consistency and spicing couldn't save my top pick from a thirdplace finish.
Fourth Place: Athenos Despite a fifth-place finish in overall Mobility, the grocery store-bought brand still managed to achieve the fourth-place result. Athenos was bolstered by excellent marks for its smooth consistency and a decent finish in authenticity and spicing Fifth Place:
International Delights
ID's hummus was certainly the most contentious one in the taste off. The only variety to score marks ranging from 1 to 5 in all four categories, International Delights was either loved or hated by the tasters. Its interesting blend of the normal ingredients plus yogurt and extra olive oil and spices seem to excite some and repel others. It also had the most liquid consistency of any sample tested.
Sixth Place: Mediterranean Deli in Chapel Hill The hummus, which had tasted so good combined with the restaurants' spicy meat and falafel balls.two weeks earlier, became tasteless and boring without its companions. Mediterranean Deli's was rated sixth in every category. —Meg Lawson

It's his love of eclecticism that allows Gallis to offer grease and spice and olive oil; the bright lights reflect Acme customers such distinctive dishes as a spicy corn and tortilla soup, an Asian barbecued duck breast, and a cheese plate all on the same "small plates" menu.

dishes slowly, and to keep old favorites on the menu. For example, he says, the oyster salad and the fried calamari have been on the menu for as long as he has been the chef. He describes these dishes as "two signature things that people absolutely fell in love with right off the bat, and they've never come off [the menu]." This slow but steady approach to menu changes ensures that his regular customers 1 and there are a lot —will recognize some favorite dishes, but also find new tastes to try. He tells me about one woman who eats at Acme four nights a week. Must be nice. I scan the menu with relish back in the kitchen; Gallis has offered to fix me something to eat. There is still so little bustle that I can stand quietly while the able staff prepares my choice: basil risotto cake stuffed with goat cheese on a bed of sauteed spinach with carrot and beet syrups. I sit down by myself at the bar and lean intently over the fragrant dish, cursing the Loop pizza already in my stomach. Tearing into the lightly browned cake almost feels wrong to me after watching its careful preparation. Almost. The marvelous final product that Gallis and his staff prepares comes from their attentiveness to detail, especially in selecting fresh, local ingredients. "I shop all spring and summer and fall long at the farmers' market down the street," he says. "I have very close relationships with probably five or six of the farmers...

Gallis grew up eating at Magnolia Grill, and he credits Barker and his wife and partner, Karen, with influencing him to become a chef. He jokingly refers to Barker as "the godfather" of the restaurant business in this area. It seems that almost eve notable chef around here has some sort of connection to him —a situation that actually serves to temper stiff competition in the Triangle, which has a much higher number of highly paid
chefs than most other metropolitan areas the same size, he says. I head back into the kitchen, which is still rather quiet. With his extra time he recounts stories of more hectic evenings. One night he had to prepare an entire menu for a 25-person wine-tasting dinner from scratch after a seafood shipment was late. "1 had to do a five-course meal that 1 had to conceptualize, prep and execute in three hours it was insane," he says. 1 try to visualize the details he narrates: the rumble of nerves in the kitchen, Kevin Callahan, Acme's owner, starting to drink because he was so worried, and then a table of 25 people who raved about his creations and were none the wiser about the short prep time. I try to see the kitchen the way it was a recent Friday night when Gallis and one other cook prepared every hot plate of food in the busy restaurant, a job usually shared among four or five people. "We pulled that off, too. I mean it was awful while it was happening, but when it was done, it was great," he says. It's after nine now, and the bar is starting to fill up with 20-somethings on their way to a concert. A blonde girl chats with the bartender and slowly swirls her drink. The tables in the back are still thinning out. Soon that front door will swing open again and put me out into the night air. I will drive back past those same plate glass windows and front porches and watch the road widen in front of me. And maybe late tonight, Alex Gallis will wake up from a dream that he has forgotten to order shitake mushrooms, or that his pork dish is burning in the oven. But for now the kitchen is still quiet, and I sit staring out at the Carrboro night, watching the patrons drift in and out —

The Writer’s Life
The Blackburn Cunningham speaks Michael Hoots’author Uteraiy Festival Bookworms unite! Today marks the start of the Blackburn Literary Festival, one of the oldest annual traditions at Duke, dating back to 1959. Each year, the student-run group attracts renowned authors across the literary community to Duke for various panel discussions and readings in the hopes of fostering literary discussion. "Literature is a fundamental part of our culture not only as Americans but as human beings," Morris said. "What makes literature so wonderfully accessible is its medium—language." As described by Grand Vice Archon (cochair) and organizer of the fiesta, Ben Morris, the festival is most certainly not "Writer Appreciation Week." Instead, the Blackburn is one of the few events where students can come together in intimate settings to discuss their passion for literature with established authors —past attendees include Toni Morrison, Michael Ondaajte, Joyce Carol
Oates and Paul Auster. This year's list of heavyweights are just as impressive.
The festival kicks off tonight with a special screening of The Hours, followed tomorrow by an informal lunch and reading with its author Michael Cunningham. Cunningham will also partake in a panel discussion on the adaptation of books to films. Showcasing the breadth of writers the festival has been able to attract, the Blackburn also features recent Poet's Prize winner Betty Adcock, Independence Day author and former Blackburn Visiting Professor Richard Ford, and current Blackburn Visiting Professor Robert Morgan. "We at the Blackburn Festival try to connect those who have made language their art with those who are trying to do the same," Morris said. —Malavika Prabhu
Tuesday, Betty Adcock will be reading selections of her work at the Thomas Heading Room at 7 p.m. Stick around afterwards for some eats and a book signing, too!
mm nticipating the arrival of Michael MM Cunningham, The Hours' Pulitizer Prize winning scribe, Books Editor Malavika Prabhu took part in a conference call with the man himself a couple short weeks ago. Here's what he had to say for himself: Why do you write? Michael Cunningham: That's the biggest of all questions, isn't it? And you know, don't have a very good answer for it. Never since I was 18 years old have I lost my interest in it; it's the one thing in the world where you attempt to create something like life on paper and it never bores me. What was the inspiration for The Hours and where did you get the idea for your characters? The inspiration for the novel started when I was in high school, where I was kind of like a stoner, a skateboard kid. I wasn't exactly opposed to books I just wasn't good at them. One day when I was 15, I was nattering away to this older girl who I was desperately in love with, and she looked at me and said in a tone not as unkindly meant as it sounds, "Have you ever thought of being less stupid?" And I had thought about being less stupid, and I was pretty much happy with the stupid that I was. She said, "Read a book, read Eliot, read Woolf." So I tried to read Mrs Dalloway, but I had no idea what it was about. I could see the beauty and complexity and music of Virginia Woolf's langu. to me. I had not unde that with language, w remember thinking th guage what Jimi Hem tar. No book had ever me before, and it into a reader and then ultimately a writer. As years went by, and I began to try to be a writer, I found that there are so many things you're expected to write a novel about —the first time you fell in love, the fact that

3v/ooi; Horn o Growing up in Durham, novelist Amanda Davis knew that her Southern heritage would have a profound influence on her, but s never thought she'd spend her life writing about it. "Writers were these magical people who created other worlds.... Looking back, it would be hard to grow up in the South and not be a part of storytelling," Davis said. So, storytell she did. Unable to resist the powerful draw of writing, Davis pursued her dreams and moved to New York City after college. As this transplanted southerner lived in a Brooklyn warehouse next to two circus troupes, she developed the inspiration for her debut novel Wonder When You'll Miss Me. Intrigued by the fast pace of life under the big top, she joined the circus, which also, strangely enough, doubled as a publishing company of radical media. Every night for two months, she performed handstands in costume as a sales device to sell books on the circus' own bookmobile Although her Durham experiences weren't nearly as colorful, Davis nevertheless refers to the Bull City as home, and her development of characters reflects that. For instance, the inspiration for her most recent novel, Wonder When You'll Miss Me, stems from her experiences with the various
your father was cranky and an alcoholic —but to write a novel about the profound and transforming experience of writing a book, that you're not supposed to do because that's academic and dry and who wants to read a book about reading a book? But I thought 1 might want to read a book about reading a book. David Hare adapted your novel. Are you satisfied with the adaptation? I'm hugely satisfied. I don't have that thing that.a lot of novelists have with the "sacred text," as if a book of mine were some sort of relic.... The movie is very close to the book, but it's also a work of art unto itself. David managed the transition beautifully and managed to preserve something that I love in Woolf—the sense of optimism that can survive all situations, which is really the only kind of opti-
mism I trust. What is the most difficult thing you struggle with as a writer? The solitude. I'm just alone here in my studio everyday sitting alone with a figment of my imagination. There's no secretary to flirt with—it's just me, which is part of why 1 live in New York. When I'm done writing for the day I can run out in the street where there are people singing arias with their hair on fire and everybody in the world is out in the street. As a writer, when you finish a book re saying, "This is the best 1 could lo," to the world. I'm not holding back, I'm not not trying to the best of my ability—this is it. It's easy to feel terrified and embarrassed and small in the face of what you're trying to d0.... You Iways have a greater book in mind, n if you write a pretty good book, that's hard.

Rooms, Many Views
Two
The talented cast and crew of Duke's Brown and Green theater company raises timely political questions This play is history. This play is current events. So reads the director's note for Brown and Green's latest production, Two Rooms. The thoughtprovoking discourse and edgy timeliness that the play provides is the reason I left the dress rehearsal Tuesday night sincerely proud of the work of the seven students involved and contemplating my own answers to the questions they posed. Directed by seniorAdam Sampieri, the four actors weave a tale onstage that examines our perceptions of politics, terrorism, media, war, peace and, most of all, love. It grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you, forcing you to doubt even the most sacred tenets of American thought and treat them as questions of objectivity, fairness and humanity. It doesn't tell you what to think, but instead screams, "This is the issue. This is what happened. Think about it," as senior Caroline Kessler, who plays Lainie in the play, describes. Two Rooms, written by the acclaimed playwright Lee Blessing, draws from conflicts in the former Soviet Union, Beirut and throughout the Middle East. Writing
(Caroline Kessler) from a prison cell halfway across the world,
in the late 'Bos, Blessing offers us a message that is as powerful and pertinent now as ever. It is at once infinitely quotable and barely touchable on the surface. Two Rooms juxtaposes the life of a political prisoner in a cell in Beirut with that of a woman on American soil. It draws parallels between the physical and mental barriers we construct for ourselves and those imposed upon us in captivity. Michael Wells (junior Daniel Smith), once a professor at American University in Beirut, is taken hostage by Shiites as ammunition for their cause. In an act of solidarity, Michael's wife Lainie transforms a home office into a cell with blinds drawn. The only company she enjoys is that of reporter Walker Harris (sophomore Doug Mishkin), who incessantly probes her to expose to the national media the U.S. government's ineffectiveness in returning her husband. As the show professes, Americans have little concept of what it's like to fight for the ground on which they stand. Kessler explains that since Sept. 11 Americans have begun to experience the terror that other nations have ingrained into a collective identity, The play's conclusion leaves the audience asking how we're going to affect change in a world where we are often captive by more than physical barriers: lack of understanding, communication or concern. In a moment that defines the show's eerie applicability to present times, a woman from the State Department (senior Kristen Jackson) declares to the hostage's wife, "The Crusades are here again." Set designer senior Vinny Eng creates a space that offers the illusion of an absence of time, with all set pieces suspended in air with the exception of a rug at center stage that serves as the play's focal point. This dark, barren shrine is Lainie's "fortress to devo,
tion" —the one place she can "feel imperfectly just what he's experiencing." For both Lainie and Michael, this is not about politics, but love. When Eng and Kessler watched a performance of Two
Rooms last summer, it ignited their desire to revive the Brown and Green theater company for the production of the show. The group, originally formed two years FEELING HIS PAIN: Lainie (Kessler) ago, produced a sin- pleads for her husband's return. Photos bv AnthonV Crossgle show before quickly disappearing into the campus backdrop. "We fell in love with the words and the way we felt when we heard the words," Eng said. It's hard not to empathize. This campus complains of a lack of intellectualism and indifference to current affairs and ethical issues. I'd argue that Two Rooms is a place of past and present foreign relations, internal struggles and questions of truth—somewhere to be anything but apathetic —Kim Roller Two Rooms runs Feb. 27, 28, March I and 2 at 8 p.m. in 209 East Duke Building, East Campus.

Candy-Coated Spring Ig’cll llc.HeiiieLil:
The blackest winter fashion in years is being ousted by such a colorful spring that Jelly Belly should take a hint. In fact, it seems quite probable that designers went to the candy store for their inspiration, so this season's lineup promises to satisfy any sweet tooth. Recess' recommendation: dig in. If you like popsicles... e everything this jon (hell, even Lilly Pulitzer blends in). But like popsicles, the makeup this season reminds you to carry the color up to your lips—and your eyes, and your cheeks. Lips should be permanently pink-stained (try Mac's Boy Magnet lip gloss), cheeks should walk the line between sun-kissed and cupiedoll (try Corole Science's The Color Purple) and eyes should scream vintage with fun sparkly colors and liquid liner. If you like jelly beans... You'll devour this season's bright miniskirts, which share both jelly bean's bright col-
ors and incredible smallness. This season's version of the old mouth-waterer is particularly flouncy. The extra fabric moves with you as you walk and is more forgiving to the thigh—at least the first four inches of it—than
the classic version. Pair it with an equally bright capsleeve top that covers enough on your top half
to counteract what the skirt neglects to cover on your bottom half. If you like Mad Hatter's sugar cookies.. You'll gobble up the bright pastel polka dots seen on everything from scarves to sundresses. And the color combos are just as exciting: lavender and periwinkle, lemon and tangerine, peach and mint. Add one of these seen-everywhere icing toppers to your outfits and you'll be simply lickable. If you like conversation hearts... You'll savor the reincarnation of the vintage suit look that, like this old school Valentine favorite, is both sweetly pastel and as classic as Chanel. The 'sos-esque suit jackets make the perfect spring cover-up over jeans, sundresses or even bikinis for days of sunbathing in the Gardens. Marc Jacobs designed the inspiration, but Ann Taylor is making a ..

more affordable version. —Whitney Beckett
Wish you could smell bargains the way you can smell your roommate's hash? Don't we all. If you love spending money you don't have, we've got a deal for you. Recess combed the Triangle, searching for the chicest stuff at the cheapest price, and it's all right here in one column. Is that a bargain or what? Our first stop wasTJ. Maxx along 15-501 South. A discount department store, TJ. Maxx was maxed out with brand names and red tickets —the kind that say $3O for a sexy Kenneth Cole suit and $lO for a slinky Guess top. The shoe section featured Chinese Laundry stilettos ($l5) and BisouBisou heels ($25 and gorgeous). TJ. Maxx also had a huge section of discount home goods like pillows, wine glasses and comforters—perfect for newbies in Erwin or the Belmont. Next we continued on to the Untidy Museum, a thrift store on Chapel Hill Road. Among the exhibited were dresses that screamed Mrs. Robinson, piles of jeans we wished could tell stories and the obligatory tuxedos of yesteryear. Great for theme party finds—this place is also great for gypsy, Jackie-0 or surfergirl looks seen riding the runways this season ($lO-$3O). Bonus: Thrift World, another vintage dig, is right across the way. Back on Ninth Street, the Lookout! outlet served up helpings from Express and Ann Taylor. The store wasn't quit bargain paradise TJ. Maxx proved to be, but it did have more things you could wear to class. From sweater se sweet little skirts ($l5-$4O), Lookout! had what we wer looking for, and the location couldn't be beat. If you like shopping at home, try the style files at Bluefly.com. Featuring over 50 designer names, the sit breaks down its goods by clothing type, size, price and ularity. From Fendi baguettes ($3OO-$500) to Calvin Kle* tops ($l5), Bluefly isn't always cheap, but finding a steal is amazing—l scored three pairs of Earl jeans for $4O each. Paying retail is so last season. Check out these killer bargains, and we promise you'll be totally sold on shopping sales. —Faran Krentcil

the Haunch? A m©nth in, we give Kimmel his licks
When
Jimmy the Sports Guy at KROQ-FM in Los Angeles requested a boxing trainer so that he could more effectively accept the physical challenge of one of his angry listeners, an unknown San Fernando Valley carpenter/boxing coach went to work. Viciously desiring to meet the radio personality, the wood man eventually snuck into the station disguised as a delivery boy. Once inside the Sports Guy's lair, the man bumped into his target and the two became instant friends. Despite the sports analyst's loss in the fight, the trainer soon became Mr. Birchum, Woodshop Teacher on the radio show, and Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla would become linked forever, Years later, the two eventually rekindled the joy that once only graced the Los Angeles airwaves on Comedy Central's The Man Show. But, in a world of side projects, Kimmel has taken on another venture —his very own latenight show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, on ABC. Though Kimmel still manages to be funny without
Corolla, some of Kimmel's best work was lost when he went solo: JKL is basically The Man Show- lite. The talk show started off strong when Warren Sapp appeared on the post-Super Bowl premier show. It even retained some of that cable TV vibe by offering an open bar to the studio audience. But, in a move indicative of the restraints Kimmel will face on a network, after a drunken audience member vomited on a Disney-ABC executive, the open bar idea was yanked. With this the show has started a slow, steady demise. JKL's problem is that it isn't based enough on a successful model for a specific market, one that has attracted a core audience

We’re going to be wrestling two and three matches in a row, and they have to be ready to go.” But for seniors Ben Balmages, Tom Cass, Tommy Hoang, Stuart Holzer and Matt Southard, it was their last chance to improve on what has already been one of the winningest four year stretches in Duke’s history. Even the mascot was there to support the Blue Devils, wearing the team’s only XXL singlet. .

3 strikes: Big plays silence Georgia Tech crowd ATLANTA Three checks equals silence. That was the medieval disciplinary policy of the Catholic middle school I attended, and it was how the streaking men’s team dealt with Georgia Tech’s raucous fans en route to a 77-58 win.
The way my ungodly strict middle school worked was if you talked or misbehaved for any reason, a teacher would jMk put a check by your name on the class clipboard. If a stujJy'-w dent received three checks in anyJ five c i Robert Samuel day mtervalj he or Game Commentary she could not speak during school hours except to ask questions to instructors during class time. Although the Atlanta rush hour traffic and rain led to a late arriving crowd, the Yellow Jacket fans were anything but silent after an Ed Nelson layup gave Georgia Tech an 11-10 lead with 11:50 remaining in the first half. Check one. Upping the ante on its defensive pressure, the Blue Devils created a 12-2 run from three forced turnovers, highlighted by a Dahntay Jones fast break
dunk that seemed effortless and difficult at the same time. “When you play these guys, you can’t turn the ball over,” Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt said. “That spurt they had in the middle of the first half really put us back on our heels. It was a case of us not being strong with the ball.” The crowd lost its frenzied pitch as Duke’s lead climbed to 22-13, but Georgia Tech refused to let the building’s decibel level affect its play. Quietly pushing the score to 22-17 after shots from B.J. Elder and Chris Bosh, the crowd was once again ignited after a dunk by Bosh impressed nearly everyone in the building.

The men’s golf team struggled to a 12th place finish at the Puerto Rico Classic played at the Rio Mar Country
Club. Oklahoma State took home team honors with a trio of schools tying for second, two strokes behind. Duke, which has not been able to practice on a consistent basis due to poor weather in Durham, showed its lack of preparation as it failed to post low scores until the final round. “I’m disappointed we didn’t play better, head coach Rod Meyers said. “I thought we would have been better prepared. There was a lot ofinconsistency. Tuesday’s final round was the best for the Blue Devils as Duke’s three freshmen, Ryan Blaum, Nathan Smith and Alex Wilson, all posted their best “
“
scores of the weekend. After firing a pair of 775, Wilson ended the tournament with a final round 70 and tied for 35th as the Blue
Devils’ best finisher. “The final day he just put it all together,” Meyers said. “We still haven’t gotten three good rounds out of him but as soon as he gets more consistent we will.” Meyers said that strong winds hampered his golfers in the first round. After 18 holes, the Blue Devils found

DANIEL EWING was instrumental in driving a stake into the heart of GeorgiaTech fans Check two. While under most circumstances a play such as Bosh’s would spur the home team to a lopsided run, Duke instead used the energy to fuel alO-O run of its own. J.J. Redick sparked this streak, knocking down two ofhis gamehigh six trifectas and adding an assist to another Jones slam to give the Blue Devils a 33-19 lead with 3:37 left in the opening half. “I think [Redick’sl assists made the threes even better,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He was a really good player tonight.” After playing nearly even with Duke for the rest of the half, Georgia Tech walked into the second half trailing 4126, but it still had the confidence of its crowd as the building’s noise level seemed to give the sense that the half was going to be Tech’s.

Conf
themselves in 10th place having shot 304. Nathan Smith and Mike Castleforte each scored an opening
round 75, tops for Duke. Duke’s play improved in the second round, but the scores did not necessarily show the improvement Meyers said. Ryan Blaum, sifter losing in a playoff the previous weekend, did not continue his strong play in Puerto Rico. “In the second round he went out of his game plan and tried to go for too much,” Meyers said.“He made a couple of management decisions that ended up costing him. It not only cost him strokes
but momentum.” After shooting a second round 71, Leif Olson fell apart in his final 18 holes. The senior shot an 85 in Tuesday’s round. “I don’t think he has had a round of golf like that since he was 12,” Meyers said. “He was really out of synch.” The Blue Devils should have plenty of time to work on some ofthe mistakes that cost them over the weekend. The team will not be back in action until the end of March when they play in the Schenkel/Ez Go Invitational in Statesboro, Ga. “At this point, we feel like we just need to play more,” Meyers said. “We are just going to try to play a little bit more and become more consistent.”
Check three, you’re on silence After the half opened with monster slams from Casey Sanders and Shelden Williams, respectively, the Yellow Jackets would never see a Blue Devil lead less than 15 and the crowd’s mood was taciturn at best. While Tech could not throw a beach ball in the ocean at points, Duke could just not stop scoring. Daniel Ewing led the way with 13 second-half points including a monstrous slam with 5:32 left that even had Krzyzewski dropping his jaw. “Our kids made some big plays where you had to go ‘Whoa,’” Krzyzewski said. After Ewing’s slam, the crowd went from silent to absent as most of the fans headed for the exits with five minutes remaining in the game. “Tonight we were able to keep the crowd out of it,” Krzyzewski said.
TECH from page 9 of-17 shots from beyond the arc, continually moving the ball around to find open targets. The long-range shooting helped open up the inside as well, helping Duke shoot 53.6 percent from the field overall. Dahntay Jones in particular benefited as he was able to penetrate to the basket en route to 17 points. “[Duke] capitalized today” Bosh said. “They got layups, they ran their offense, and they shot threes. They did what they had to do to win.” Though the Blue Devils were clicking on offense, they were even more pleased with their defense, which held the Yellow Jackets to 32 percent shooting and repeatedly forced turnovers and breakaways. While Tech forward Ed Nelson was often able to get open for layups inside on his way to netting a careerhigh 22 points, Duke’s pressure on the perimeter flustered the Yellow Jackets. Chris Duhon and Jones led the Blue Devil effort, helping to limit B.J. Elder and Marvin Lewis, two of Georgia Tech’s leading scorers, to only six and five points, respectively. Bosh was held to 11 points and six boards, significantly below his averages. “We’ve become a very good defensive team right now,” Krzyzewski said. “[Our defense] put us in a position where, when we got that lead, we were very difficult to come back on, because we weren’t giving up points very easily.” One of the reasons Duke was able to pressure the ball on defense so effective-

ly is that the team often employed a three-guard offense, playing Duhon, Redick and Ewing together and sliding Dahntay Jones to power forward. “It’s another look,” Krzyzewski said. “There’s a lot of quickness on the court [with that lineup], and it gives us a terrific defensive team. We’re trying to take looks at [the three-guard lineup], because you don’t know what you’re going to need for the tournament.”

FSU from page 9 up because we were getting slow starts and we weren’t really attacking the other team at the beginning of the game. She just does a great job. If you don’t stop her, shell take it coast to coast.”
WRESTLING from page 9 Duke entered its match with N.C. State (8-10, 2-3) with a slim half-game lead over the Wolfpack for third place in the conference standings, biit dropped to fourth after the loss. The Blue Devils started strong as Hoang pinned Brian Conyer with an elbow-deep half-nelson just 53 seconds into the match. The pin was Hoang’s team-leading fifth for the season. Conyer was filling in temporarily for two-time ACC champion George Cintron, who was resting his injured knee for the ACC and NCAA Championships in March. After junior 133-pounder Andy Soliman dropped a 15-5 major decision to Daniel Pacitti, the Wolfpack pulled within two. N.C. State took its first lead of the evening after junior Ryan McCallum narrowly defeated Duke’s Adam Benitez 3-2. McCallum had a 1-0 lead beginning the third period, but Benitez, starting from the defensive position, quickly stood up and escaped to tie the score. McCallum then hit a deep double leg against Benitez at the edge of the mat and held on for the win. The match then bumped up to 165 pounds and the night’s marquee matchup. The bout featured Duke’s Michael Mitchell and the Wolfpack’s Dustin Kawa. The match determined who would be seeded No. 1 for the ACC Championships in a weight class with three legitimate contenders. Kawa is a defending ACC champion at 174 pounds and recently beat No. 8 Nick Passolano of lowa State, 13-5. The match started with an intense pace that suited Mitchell’s seemingly endless reserve of energy. But Kawa drew first blood with a quick single-leg
Though Florida State has a deep bench and can rotate nine players into the game, the Duke bench is just as powerful, if not stronger. “I feel like we could match up to them with our depth as well,” Foley said. We’re pretty athletic and fit, so hopefully we can run on them as well.”

takedown and a 2-0 advantage. Beginning the second period in the defensive position, Mitchell escaped and immediately took Kawa back down for a 3-2 lead. Kawa reversed, and then after Mitchell escaped, scored a takedown on a rushed shot by the Blue Devil. Kawa added another takedown in the third frame for a 10-7 win. The loss, however, might prove to be a positive in the long run for Mitchell, who wrestled on little sleep and suffered a calf cramp early on in the match. “I believe that Michael will gain confidence from that match because he scored on him twice and knows that those scores work.” Anderson added. “For the ACC he should have plenty of rest and I am excited for him there.” Tom Cass followed the bout at 165 pounds with a 12-5 victory over Jon Godwin. Junior 174-pounder Tim Marcantonio scored the only other points for the Blue Devils with a third period pin over Daniel Humphries. Cass, Marcantonio and Hoang were the only wrestlers to win twice. Perhaps because everyone was watching the N.C. State match intensely, Duke only narrowly defeated UNCG (1-15) on the other mat. The Blue Devils were down 19-15 with two matches left when Mitchell and Cass closed out with major decisions for a 23-19 Duke victory. N.C. State 29, Duke 15 T. Hoang WBF B. Conyer, 0:53 0.

Niejelow for facilities
Both
candidates in the race for Duke Student Government Vice President for facilities and athletics bring powerful ideas to the table, but only junior Alex Niejelow has the experience and comprehensive vision necessary to serve. Niejelow obviously knows the terrain ofthe office and knows how to work with administrators to get things accomplished. His agenda of addressing safety, transportation and construction tackles the three major challenges that will face facilities and athletics next year. Although his agenda does not include anything particularly outrageous or ambitious, it does encompass everything the committee should do. With regard to construction, Niejelow has a solid grasp ofthe issues involved in the construction of the student village and the addition to Perkins. Although these are long-term projects, Niejelow takes a broad view looking at Duke many years down the road. Niejelow has extensive experience as a legislator working for campus safety, has a proven track record of accomplishments and deserves a chance to be on a bigger stage to show what he can truly accomplish. However, Niejelow needs to remain open to the suggestions from others and improve his ability to work with others. Junior Kevin Ogorzalek, the other candidate in the race, lacks the experience or broad vision necessary to be a vice president. But, Ogorzalek makes an extremely strong case for the importance ofkeeping environmental issues in mind when talking about campus facilities. He should consider running for the legislature, where he would be a strong voice for environmental issues. The Chronicle formally endorses Alex Niejelow for the position of DSG vice president for facilities and athletics.
Wisnewski for C.I. Only one
candidate, sophomore Andrew Wisnewski, is running for
Duke Student Government vice president for community interaction. Wisnewski brings several good ideas and much enthusiasm to the table, but at the same time he needs to think more carefully about several important aspects ofhis job. As vice president for community interaction, one must define what the community is. Wisnewski needs to be more clear in his agenda about what community he’s serving, but from his ideas, it seems like he largely views Duke, not Durham, as the community. Wisnewski’s biggest idea is to build community by having multiple groups sponsor events. That is, if one group is trying to bring a speaker to campus, Wisnewski proposes that other groups link up with that first group and jointly sponsor the event, arguing that this will promote community interaction and increase the profile ofand attendance at these events. This is a good idea, but one wonders whether DSG’s role should only be bringing groups together. The major problem Wisnewksi faces, as all vice presidents for community interaction face, is how to turn rhetoric into action, how to transform the various forums and discussions DSG inevitably hosts into a real community. The Chronicle formally endorses Andrew Wisnewski for the position of DSG vice president for community interaction.

Columnist perpetuates lies and deceit on campus Only days after long-time Chronicle columnist Abdullah Al-Arian published a guest column, his father Sami AlArian was indicted as the North American leader of one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist organizations, Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The case against Sami is damning: Intercepted telephone calls, faxes and seized documents show him managing finances, dispersing funds, relaying messages and hailing successful attacks. Last year, when Duke alumnus Jeff Greene exposed Al-Arian’s alleged ties to terrorism, the Duke community denounced Greene for launching a personal attack and praised Abdullah for his offbeat perspective on the Middle East. Although Greene was wrong to accuse Abdullah of being a future terrorist leader—Abdullah needn’t follow his father’s path—it’s clear that the Duke community has shown Abdullah far more respect than Abdullah to the Duke community. Abdullah lied to us all during his years as a columnist, disseminating exaggerations,
distortions and half-truths. In “Summer storm: Experiencing racial profiling,” Abdullah claimed to have been escorted out of the White House by security solely because of his ethnicity. But Abdullah came to the White House with a delegation of Muslims. Out of all the Arab Muslims present, only Abdullah was red-flagged because only his father and uncle were suspected terrorists. When the entire Muslim delegation threatened to walk out, President George W. Bush apologized for the “mistake” out of political expediency. This is a black mark against Bush, not a vindication of Abdullah. What did The Chronicle a publication dedicated to exposing the truth—do to protect the Duke community from Al-Arian’s deceit? Absolutely nothing. The Chronicle published 26 ofhis columns, mostly invective against the United States and Israel. Former Chronicle editor Ambika Kumar actively defended the Al-Arians and apologized for publishing Greene’s letter, noting that “there is no evidence —
~
that Sami Al-Arian heads, a ‘known Hamas front’ as the letter asserted; Abdullah AlArian clarified this and other errors in his Feb. 11 column.” Although Kumar was technically correct (Greene confused Hamas with Islamic Jihad), from her misleading column you would think AlArian’s connection to terrorism was one of Greene’s “other errors.” The 100 innocent people Sami Al-Arian allegedly helped murder aren’t the only ones the Al-Arians have hurt. Abdullah damaged the reputation of his most ardent defenders: The members of the Duke community whom he bamboozled and betrayed; The Chronicle whose journalistic integrity he besmirched; and the Muslims whose legitimate complaints about bigotry will be viewed skeptically as a result of his bogus racial profiling story. If Abdullah Al-Arian ever publishes in The Chronicle again, I hope it will be a letter of apology. Mike Simms

AQUADuke can change only through new ideas
I was surprised at Lucas Schaefer’s Feb. 25 column on the state of the “gay community” and the inability of AQUADuke to program events that create “an environment where people feel comfortable coming out,” mostly because the only word he said at the meeting he attended was his name. The point of this response is not to defend or validate or its programming or even the so-called “community.” None of this response represents the views
AQUADuke
of AQUADuke as a whole or any of its members. When I first got to Duke, I was already out but still put off by Gothic Queers (the former name of AQUADuke), its members and the programs the group put on. I refused to officially join or participate and had similar opinions as Schaefer does now. I thought Http:
On
/ /
that all those out people were giving all the other gay people a bad name; that was the impetus for me to join. I began attending sophomore year and started making my voice and opinions heard. I also put on my first event, which attracted a good mix of gay and straight people. Last spring, I was elected president, and since have striven to program events that could help foster a more accepting campus climate. Whether things have changed is up for debate, I suppose, but I think they have a little. But what cannot be debated are
the following. First, there is little any gay organization can do for outreach. LGBT people aren’t readily identifiable by physical characteristics as other minorities are. So, the only approach is education, visibility and time. Second,
an organization or throughout an entire campus culture, will
only be achieved through the introduction of new ideas and opinions. It is easy to sit back and criticize the actions of a group. Creating change, however, is a bit trickier. Therefore, I would like to issue a call to all those who feel similarly about the issues presented by Schaefer: Make your voices heard. Join mailing lists and participate an in dialogue, attend and meeting AQUADuke speak up, or simply talk to your friends about “gay issues” at Duke. Only then can change be created (or continued, depending on your own perception of the situation). As for Schaefer, I hope to see him actively participating at the next meeting.

Commentary
The Chronicle
Stop rape at Duke I heard a story last night about one of our campus rapists. Maybe you know him. He’s raped at least four female students in his time here. He is white, a West Campus resident and not unlike many of the men at Duke. He is not unlike many of my friends. The majority of the people who see him on campus do not know about his propensity for violence against women. He could be in one of my classes and I would not know who he was. Yet not all of us are ignorant; The story I heard also revealed that his friends do know about this man’s acts ofviolence. His friends know the names and faces of the women he’s raped and details of the attacks. I can’t know how they truly feel about his behavior, but their actions reveal that it’s not very important. They Tnhn«;nn don’t confront him or end their Red Pi friendships with him. They maintain a disturbing and dangerous silence A fundamental reason that sexual assault is such a problem at Duke is the behavior of people like this man’s friends. There are probably 200 to 250 undergraduate men on this campus who are rapists (one out of 15), based on a 15-year old survey. Fifteen percent of undergraduate men say they would commit rape if there was no chance of punishment. These students present a significant threat to the safety of female students. On our socially insular campus, the threat of action from police may not prevent rape, especially since 90 percent of rapes are never reported. One thing that could be extremely effective in deterring rape on campus is the threat of condemnation and ostracism from the social communities that rapists identify with. To fight sexual assault we must build a community
Jillian
-
where men who assault women are treated as people who are destroying our community instead of part ofit. The biggest barrier to creating this community is people who do not value women enough to confront the men who profoundly damage their lives. I am not cynical enough to believe that these people think rape is acceptable. The same survey of college students found that 80 percent of men and nearly 100 percent of women universally condemn rape. This majority doesn’t stand up to their friends who are rapists, and so there is no reason for them to fear consequences. They know they have very little chance of being caught or meeting the condemnation of a person they care about and respect. Of course, it would help if the administration, actually treated rape as a crime instead of some kind of secret disciplinary problem. Students’ names are printed in the crime reports for possession of drugs or stealing, but not for rape. In a community where dozens of women are raped every month, only a few men, less than five, have been expelled for rape in the last few years. I am intentionally vague about this statistic because the average student can’t even access this information. We don’t even know if the people, presumably students, who raped a woman in an East Campus bathroom last year and sexually assaulted a woman in a West Campus bathroom this year were caught. President Nan Keohane wrote a guest column recently about sexual assault on campus, but we have yet to see her use her administrative power to enforce the law against student rapists or make ending violence a top administrative priority. She instead sug-
gests that people proscribe their social lives to avoid being victimized. Though many women do this and will continue to do so for their own protection, encouraging
personal action from students rather than creating serious consequences for rapists isn’t good social policy. Still, the threat of administrative action doesn’t stop people from doing much here at Duke. Our power and privilege make us feel invincible to trivialities like state and federal laws. Though sexual attacks on this campus are not talked about nearly as much as they

Bilingual education In all the hype following last November’s mid-term elections about a new mandate for George W. Bush, it would’ve been easy to miss two less-publicized returns from two ballot initiatives in Massachusetts and Colorado. The propositions drove to the core of one of the most divisive issues in the politics ofAmerican education, one that will only get more pressing as the
Andrew Furlow nsmg numbers ot the Party Line Off students with little nation’s public schools see rapidly
or no proficiency in English.
Bilingual education, the subject of
the two initiatives, has fallen on tough times in recent years, with studies questioning its effectiveness and a string of political defeats beginning in California with Proposition 227, followed by a ban in Arizona and now a resounding loss in Massachusetts. Last year’s
Colorado measure, which had been showing strong early support, failed only after a $3 million ad campaign should be, there are undercurrents of conversation that inaccurately suggested a ban between women and male allies that reveal a dangerwould cost millions in higher taxes. ous and frightening rape culture.

imaginable. Washington-Lee had a sizable bilingual program. The kids
seemed satisfied, but to really get an idea of the situation you almost had to talk to someone who had already made it out. I met Veronica when I was in a play freshman year—she fit in so well that at first I didn’t notice that in a school with hundreds of Latino students she was the only one to try out for the play. As I got to know her better, meeting her parents who spoke Spanish in their home, I realized what a rarity she was. And when the issue of bilingual education came up, Veronica didn’t hesitate to make her feelings clear. “I escaped from ESOL,” she angrily told me. “They said I wasn’t ready. If I’d listened to them, I’d still be struggling to learn English today.” But she did escape and went on to direct a Neil Simon play in her senior year, earn an International Baccalaureate diploma and enroll at William and Mary. It’s hard to imagine that she would have had such success had she been backpedaling in a bilingual program. Bilingual education is too often backpedaling. Anti-progress. Precocious students like Veronica are held up learning the plural of “child” when they could be studying organic chemistry. And what about the kids who aren’t as bright and might not adapt so easily to English? Chances are they would fare no better with anything else—research has shown that many immigrant children entering schools in the United States, espe-
dally from countries with poor educational systems, are so under-educated that they are not even fluent in their own language. And contrary to what many bilingual education proponents argue, the scaling back of bilingual education does not mean the scaling back of immigrants’ culture. Half of Latino voters in California recognized this when they voted for Proposition 227 in 1998.
Bilingual education doesn’t have to be regressive, and there are many examples of progressive, useful programs. In the same school system where Veronica was held back from her potential, hundreds of kids at another school went through a truly bilingual program—English halfthe day, Spanish the other half—for all students, not just non-English speakers. But the vast majority of bilingual programs are in fact bilingual only by name and baby students by teaching them in their native language literally for years.
Faced with a choice between mov-
ing backward with a policy that is refused by the very people it is supposed to help or moving forward to give immigrant students a chance to succeed, the right path seems clear. Rather than condemning non-
English-speaking kids to a life of missed opportunities, we ought to teach them the skills they need to succeed in an unfamiliar world, starting with the world’s language.
