The Chronicle

The proposed expansion of the Atlantic Coast Conference, which appeared to be progressing quickly just one week ago, has been considerably disrupted following President Nan Keohane’s withholding of her support for the expansion plan, a lawsuit filed by the Big East Conference against the ACC and would-be members Miami and Boston College and a call for mediation from the NCAA by Virginia governor Mark Warner. Keohane deferred comment in an email Wednesday morning, saying only that “we will continue to follow the due

Friday, a day after the University of North

Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser announced his intention to vote against ACC expansion in a letter writ-

ten to conference leaders.

That Keohane and Moeser were leery of expansion has never been in doubt, as Duke and UNC were the lone schools initially to vote against expansion in May. However, both voted in favor of beginning formal conversations with Miami, Syracuse and Boston College—the three schools invited to leave the Big East for the ACC—just a

week later.

According to Friday’s e-mail, Keohane’s misgivings have always been centered on “time spent in travel, the length of playing seasons, complex logistics and costs of travel.” She was able to See EXPANSION on page 12

shows SARS symptoms

From staff and wire reports A patient who arrived at the emergency room of Duke University Hospital Tuesday night may have SARS, the Herald-Sun of Durham reported Thursday. According to a memo released Wednesday to Duke University Health System employees, the patient is “being treated as a special interest case” by the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention. “CDC doesn’t consider this a ‘suspect’ case at this time,” Carol Schriber, a spokesperson for the N.C.

Department of Health and Human the Herald-Sun. Services, told “Whether that will change, I don’t know. There are no cases in the state right now that warrant the ‘suspected case of SARS’ categorization.” See SARS on page 12

Senior hires bolster new, small crop By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

A new parking office in the basement ofthe former Facilities Management building off Science Drive could also be ready by September at the earliest, said Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni.

Harris Cooper in education, Sherman James in policy public and studies Wendy Wood in psychology, said William Chafe Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe, who called 2002-2003 “a banner year in terms of recruiting leaders.” Three departments—history, education and religion—searched externally for a new chair. Although the religion department was unsuccessful in its recruitment efforts, Cooper has been hired to lead education and Sarah Deutsch has been identified as the desired candidate to succeed current history chair John Thompson in 2004.

Officials prepare for parking merger By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

The long-anticipated merger of the University and Medical Center parking systems will take place as scheduled on July 1, but transportation officials said that date is of little practical significance, as meaningful changes will take place further down the road. Bill Baker, parking manager for the Medical Center, said it could be six months to a year before the new

American officials called the accusations “absolutely false.” The sheer scope of the operation—a pilotless drone, F-15 fighters and AC-130 gunships circled overhead as dozens ofarmored vehicles and patrol boats cut off escape routes—suggested the seriousness of a new American effort to quell nascent armed resistance in Sunni Muslim-dominated areas north and west of Baghdad.

Bush sends inspectors to major seaports By PHILIP SHENON

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON The George W. Bush administration has decided to place teams of United States inspectors at major seaports in Muslim nations and other smaller, strategically located foreign ports to prevent terrorists from using cargo containers to smuggle chemical, biological or nuclear weapons into the United States, senior administration officials said. The inspectors, they said, will be provided with radiation monitors, chemical detectors and other equipment to inspect “high risk” metal cargo containers before they are placed on ships bound for the United States. The move is the second phase in a government program begun shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, to station US. customs inspectors overseas to work side by side

with their foreign counterparts in searching for unconventional weapons. The first phase focused on 20 large container ports in Europe and Asia, none of them in countries with predominantly Muslim populations. Officials said the Department of Homeland Security planned to place teams of inspectors that wouldremain indefinitely in Dubai, which is a crucial transshipment point for containerized cargo in the Arab world, Malaysia, Turkey and other Muslim nations. A1 Qaeda is believed to have a sizable presence in Dubai and Malaysia. Robert Bonner, the commissioner of customs and border

protection in the Homeland Security Department, said the expansion of the program reflected a concern that al Qaeda and other terrorist groups would try to place chemical, biological or nuclear weapons into some ofthe more than 6 million containers that arrive in the United States each year.

Baby burned Towerview work to create circle, plaza in Hospital accident By CINDY YEE The Chronicle Like many students, Towerview Road is in the midst of its summer makeover. When students return for the fall semester, they will be greeted with a new

By LIANA WYLER The Chronicle

A critically ill baby undergoing a surgical procedure at the Duke University Hospital pediatric intensive care unit caught fire June 2. The patient sustained burns covering over 10 percent of its body. State regulators from the Division of Facilities Services initiated an investigation into the cause of the fire June 5. The fire, which began as medical staff prepared to connect the child to equipment in the PICU, burned a sterile paper drape over the incision site, in addition to some fabric bedding and a blanket, said Hospital CEO Dr. William Fulkerson in an e-mail to the Hospital’s staff. Jim Jones, spokesperson for DFS, said the Hospital reported the incident Wednesday and added that he does not know how long the investigations will take. Suffering from severe heart and lung ailments, the baby was in the PICU to be hooked up to an artificial lung machine, which can take over the work of the heart and lungs until the organs are capable of functioning on

their own. This treatment, called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, involves inserting tubes into large blood vessels and pulling unoxygenated blood out from the patient to be oxygenated See BABY BURNED on page 8

Duke receives brain cancer grant

A $6 million award from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation will establish a new institute at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center that will be devoted exclusively to brain tumor research in children. Dr. Darell Signer, Edwin L. Jones Jr. and Lucille Finch Jones Cancer Research Professor and deputy director of the DCCC, has been named director of the institute, which will be located in the Medical Sciences Research Building. ‘The $6 million will go towards a variety of projects, the goal of which is to develop new treatment for child brain tumors with less toxicity,” Signer said. Research will focus on establishing a tissue bank of brain tumors from around the world, on genome mining to identify new targets for treatment of tumors and on creating new treatment to reduce resistance of brain tumors to conventional drugs. Bigner, who also serves as the head of the scientific advisory board of the PBTF, said he was delighted to receive this award from the non-profit organization. “It’s very difficult to get funding for any of the childhood cancers. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children, and brain tumors are the second most common in children,” Bigner said. —Matavika Prabhu

Genetics pros contribute to encyclopedia A new reference volume targets high school students and undergraduate non-science majors looking for a basic genetics overview. By LIANA WYLER The Chronicle

Faculty at the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy believe that genetics is not just for geeky scientists with lab coats and pocket protectors. Led by Margaret Pericak-Vance, director of the Duke Center for Human Genetics, 20 Duke researchers joined with other experts from across the country to publish the first genetics encyclopedia geared toward high school students and entry-level undergraduates not majoring in the natural sciences. As the first encyclopedia on the field of genetics since the completion of the mapping of the human genome, the four-volume set of 300 illustrations and 258 articles —each signed personally by its author—is the newest addition to the Macmillan Science Library series. “High school is where we have to AROUND THE WORLD start teaching genetics,” Pericak-Vance said in a statement. “It’s important that young people understand genetN.C. man contracts SARS in Toronto ics, a subject that continues to have a bigger and bigger impact on our everyA North Carolina man contracted SARS while day lives.

Other topics found in the set include the genetics of addiction, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. These articles, replete with “marginal information such as boxed facts and unique biographical, career and practical information,” explain the complicated field of genetics with minimal scientific jargon and “highly colorful” illustrations, said Dave Horvath, who is responsible for marketing and sales at Macmillan Publishers.

Students want materials that will better equip them to do well in these subjects than science journals and monographs that are too difficult to understand, he said. Horvath suggested that the encyclopedia can be useful as a source for writing research papers or “catching up and getting on track” in a science class. Potter said that the encyclopedia is intended to fill the American student’s deficits in genetics knowledge and its creation was a direct reaction to science See GENETICS on page 12

Study predicts high student turnout Duke professors say the report defies traditional thinking “Hit a Home Run for Dad” By GILLIAN BARNARD The Chronicle

The Institute of Politics at Harvard University conducted a study seeking to demonstrate the potential political weight college students may lever during the 2004 elections, but a number of Duke professors expressed surprise and skepticism at the study’s findings. According to the study, three out five undergraduates—or Likely about 59 percent of the approximately one-thousand undergraduates who took the survey—said that they would “definitely be voting.” As a result of these findings, Dan Glickman, director of the Institute and former US. Cabinet Secretary and Congressman, said “campus kids” can be a pivotal force during election time, comprising an “enormous reservoir” of voters Many Duke professors, however, said they are surprised with the conclusions drawn from the study’s results, noting that undergraduates are generally an apathetic group of voters.

Political Science Professor Peter Fish said he is skeptical about the proposed voting enthusiasm expressed by college students and said the information released in the study is misleading. “College students are not known for turning out in large numbers at an election,” he said. Fish explained that many registered voters who view voting as a civic obligation may

agreed and said that based on past tendencies, college students are neither a cohesive voting block nor a substantial voting population. Additionally, he said the study is merely “reiterating what we already knew.” Assistant Professor of Political Science James Hamilton wrote in an e-mail that one interesting conclusion drawn from the study—that undergraduates consider themselves more conservative than liberal regarding vote economic issues—“goes against notions that college students are liberal’ on all issues.” The study suggested that a significant number of college students are conservative on so-

cial issues. Transue added that people are often inclined to say they are conservative, although they are not willing to cut social programs when they vote. “Americans in general are philosophically conservative but operationally liberal,” he said. The study also found fairly evenly divided partisan divisions among undergraduates. Twenty-nine percent of college

students consider themselves Democrats and another 26 percent deemed themselves Republicans. Forty-one percent descibed themselves as

ACES down at least one week for system upgrade The University Registrar notified students Monday of a student information system upgrade that will render ACES unavailable until Friday, June 20, or later. According to an e-mail from the Office of the Registrar, ACES will have a “new look” when it comes back online. The upgrade affects student records and registration as well as operations in admissions, financial aid and the bursar’s office.

Six elected from Duke to American Academy of Arts and Sciences

“July 1 we will start looking at those things; Who does what, who goes in what role, how we’re serving our customers,” said Cathy Reeve, director of parking and transportation for the University. “We’re going to go about our respective businesses for renewing [passes]. Following that, we’ll start to plan for next year.” Reeve said setting uniform standards for maintenance, enforcement and deck operations has proved challenging. In addition, the University and Medical Center use different software systems to allocate permits and perform other routine functions, and these systems will have to be made compatible before the parking systems can truly be considered as one. “We’re not all oranges and oranges right now in how we do things, like in pricing our parking lot,”

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an international society comprised of the world’s leading scholars, scientists, artists, business people and public officials, has elected six individuals from Duke to join its ranks. The scholars from Duke are civil and environmental engineering professor Henry Petroski, theological ethics professor Stanley Hauerwas, religion professor Ed Sanders, professor of law and public policy studies Joel Fleishman, philosopher and senior research scholar Fred Dretske and President and CEO of the Duke University Health System Dr. Ralph Snyderman.

Reeve said. “That’s what we’ll spend this year doing—seeing how we can have a lot more continuity in our operations. And it’s not going to happen overnight.” Administrators said when the merger actually takes place, the new combined system will benefit everyone. “What happens is, there will be a whole lot more choices. Lower-cost options for pretty much everybody,” Trask said. Problems at overlap points between the University and Medical Center parking systems will be eliminated, theoretically, in the new system. In addition, more options will mean that people will have more flexibility in choosing between a more expensive prime location or a cheaply priced permit for a less proximate lot. Trask said there will be no losers with the merger. “The hope is for next year that out-of-pocket, nobody sees an increase of more than 5 percent.”

possibility of a shrinking faculty for 2003-2004. Budget woes—the reason behind the declining number of searches—have been exacerbated this year by rising financial aid costs. In addition to a 10 percent increase in aid eligibility among undergraduates, the University received less money from the state and federal government this year, to the tune ofbetween $1 and 2 million. An appeal has won back some of this money, but Chafe still estimated the

coming hearings of the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure committee. “It’s rare to get anything approaching unanimity for a group of academics, but this is the closest to unanimity I’ve ever seen,” Thompson said. “My guess would be if you asked the department to ‘vote,’ which we didn’t do, we would have chosen her.” Chafe said that religion’s failure to find a new chair is not unusual, adding that “two out of three [chairs] is actually quite good.” Following a year in which almost two-thirds of the hires were for senior faculty, the focus of most of next year’s searches will return to junior faculty positions. Chafe said he anticipated about 25 to 28 faculty searches for the coming academic year, down from 32 the past two years and 42 in 2000-2001. He credited this lower-than-usual number to the “fragile edifice” that is the Arts and Sciences budget. With an average 75 percent yield rate on faculty searches, the number of new hires next year could end up at about 21. However, the average number of retiring faculty members is 28 to 30, suggesting the

extra cost of financial aid to the Arts and Sciences budget to be between $1.5 and 2.5 million. “If we can find away to deal with the financial aid problem, we will find a delicate balance,” Chafe said. “We will be okay, though not robustly okay.” The specter of potential faculty cuts has been in the news since a budget task force led by Professor of Public Policy Studies Philip Cook suggested in Oct. 2002 that it might be necessary to cut up to 50 faculty positions—in a worst-case scenario—to save Arts and Sciences from running extreme deficits over the next few years. Major cuts have not been necessary so far, however, as Arts and Sciences has scraped by with the help of two straight years of unexpectedly high summer school revenues and a 5

percent tuition increase this year.

long-term contracts with either firm because administrators wish to maintain flexibility in a project that is just in its fledgling stages. Pearce said the University will not decide on longterm contracts until the six-month study is completed. He added that these contracts will not necessarily be with DMS and Cousins, depending on the direction Central Campus planning takes. “This is a large project, and there eventually could be also a large number of buildings,” Pearce said. “We could use more than one architect, more than one builder, more than one developer. We don’t want to make that decision until we have a first pass at what’s going to be included on Central.” So far, administrators have given DMS and Cousins only a vague outline of what they wish to see on Central Campus. Guidelines released earlier this year noted such tangible needs as 1,000 or more beds in the residential part of Central, as well as more nebulous requests such as the creation of a University Village to generate of a sense of coherence with East and West Campuses and a stronger connection with Durham. “We want to keep as many options open as possible so we can change directions if we need to,” Pearce said. DMS, based in Washington, D.C., will help develop a potential master plan for Central Campus, sorting through such components as residential space, street grids, utilities systems and transportation plans, said Scott Selig, associate vice president for capital assets. Some of DMS’s most celebrated projects include the Ballpark in Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers; the American Airlines Center in Dallas, home of the Mavericks and Stars; the Southlake Town Center in Southlake, Tex.; and the Nashville Symphony Concert Hall. The firm’s portfolio also includes museums, commercial venues, retail centers and residential developments, among other projects. As for DMS’s function with the University—advising on the Central Campus portion of the master plan—the firm has developed over 20 master plans nationwide, including one for the urban center ofFort Worth, Tex. Michael Swartz, project manager for DMS, said working with universities is slightly different from working with other types of clients due to the more long-term views universities typically take toward their developments. He noted, however, that university work is not completely new to DMS. The firm designed Yale University’s Environmental Science Center and is currently working with Vanderbilt University as well. “We have our sleeves rolled up, and we’re in the process of looking at what kinds of ways of developing the Central Campus site are best suited to the University’s goals,” Swartz said. He added that DMS should have a team of three to five people working on the University’s master plan over the next several months, with the goal ofproducing a preliminary plan by sometime in the fall. Swartz said that members of the DMS team have made multiple visits to the Central Campus site. “We’re very sensitive to the fact that Ninth Street is an ingrained and important part of the urban fabric there and that those businesses play an important role

in the city and also to the University, in a sense,” he said. “We’re here to make sure that whatever we do enhances and doesn’t detract from that.” Glenn MacCullough, another architect from the D.C. area, described Schwarz’s style as “traditional,” opting away from buildings that are “architectonic” or really sculptural in favor of buildings “for ordinary people.” MacCullough worked for Schwarz for five years, but now runs his own firm out of Arlington, Va. “[Schwarz] is incredibly creative and a great problem solver,” MacCullough said, adding that DMS is comprised of people who all work very hard to fulfill Schwarz’s visions. “For a university to hire someone with that level of smartness, that level of dedication in his staff and that level of creativity—that’s got to be a good thing.” MacCullough, who has visited Duke’s campus, said Schwarz’s traditionalist style should fit in well with the rest of the campus. He also noted that although some might find Schwarz’s work overly traditional rather than inventive, people generally tend to enjoy his buildings. “He’s not designing for other

architects,” MacCullough said. The University will also be looking to the Atlantabased Cousins Properties to serve as its real estate developer. Pearce said that while DMS will be working through issues such as campus layout, Cousins will help the University make sure its plans are feasible financially. “When we went through the normal selection process for a developer, we felt that Cousins really understands this kind of development that we’re aiming for,” Pearce said. “They seem to understand the business of designing a campus like Central Campus.” Cousins primarily focuses on the development of retail properties and commercial and medical offices, but has also worked on projects such as mixed-use developments and residential communities. Some of the firm’s most notable developments include One Ninety One Peachtree Tower in Atlanta and the Presbyterian Medical Plaza at University in Charlotte, N.C. A representative for Cousins Properties could not be reached for comment.

BABY BURNED from page 3 by a machine. It was during the surgical procedure that the medical staff saw the fire, immediately responding by dousing it with sterile saline solution and extinguishing it within seconds, the Hospital reported. Fulkerson said the procedure and treatment are routinely performed in the PICU. The affected equipment has been removed and is being evaluated to determine the cause of the fire, although the maintenance on the equipment involved was up to date at the time of the incident and had no recorded history of problems, Fulkerson said, “The equipment has been tested and is functioning properly,” he said.

According to the explicit wishes of the patient’s parents, additional de-

tails regarding the child’s information

and current condition have not been

released.

“The child’s family was informed and provided with full details,” Fulkerson said in the e-mail. “Our concerns and attention are being directed to serving the medical needs ofthe patient, and we are working to support the family.” Fulkerson added that the family will not be responsible for any medical costs associated with the incident, which comes almost four months after

Hospital surgeons gave transplant patient Jesica Santillan a heart and lungs of the wrong blood type. Santillan’s body rejected the organs and she later died after a second transplant.

It’s a Big East: ‘Don’t rush to judgment’ mad, mad, mad world By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

I guess March was not mad enough

for the ACC.

After claiming the men’s national basketball championship in 2001 and 2002, the most prestigious basketball conference in the nation did not have a team advance past the Sweet 16 this season. The ACC is surely making up for the lack of insanity this summer

with

its

attempt to add three Big East schools. At first the idea of a neo-ACC was as

Five Big East schools—including Virginia Tech, who lobbied to become part of the ACC before being dismissed by the conference last May—are suing the ACC, Governor Mark Warner of Virginia is demanding that a high-profile third party (possibly the NCAA itself) mediate the situation to ensure his state’s “interests as a whole will be See SAMUEL on page 10

The Big East Conference football Virginia, Virginia Tech, Connecticut, Rutgers and Pittsburgh—filed a lawsuit last Friday in the state Superior Court in Hartford, Conn., against the ACC and would-be ACC schools Miami and Boston College. Such was the first of two admitted acts of desperation by the Big East in a last-ditch effort to prevent the ACC from raiding the conference of three of its most-prized members, Miami, Boston College and Syracuse. The other act was the initiation of discussions with the ACC. The Big East presidents sent letters to each of the ACC Presidents Wednesday afternoon—just hours before a scheduled teleconference among the ACC presidents—beseeching a face-to-face meeting. “We feel quite certain that no ACC president or chancellor would want to rush to judgment on such a potentially harmful plan without having complete information, and we believe we have insights to share that could not be effectively communicated by anyone else,” the presidents wrote in the letter. The invitation was complemented by a statement that was released late Wednesday night. “We will continue to do everything possible to keep the Big East intact, including pursuing all of our available legal options,” the statement read. In the lawsuit, the Big East is accus-

ing the ACC, Miami and Boston College of a “deliberate scheme to destroy the Big East and abscond with the collective value of all that has been invested and created” in the conference, according to the lawsuit. In a telephone interview Wednesday afternoon, West Virginia president David Hardesty elaborated on the plaintiffs’ case, particularly in regards to the issues with Miami and Boston College. “There are numerous contracts, not just one, involving the Big East and there are numerous undertakings and commitments...” Hardesty said. “And there are just a number of statements, actions, deeds, words and WEST VIRGINIA PRESIDENT DAVID HARDESTY contracts which we asked our lawyers has been pivotal in the ACC-Big East dispute. to review, and I think one of the problems we have is that not everyone knows everything...” “The ACC—by its own admission—has been working on this strategy for 18 months. The only way this strategy works is to take three teams out of the Big East, and those teams [Miami and thebasics Boston College] have been working on it for several months.” Five Big East football schools Indeed, Duke law professor Paul have filed suit against the ACC Haagen said the lawsuit may be rooted in information that is yet unknown to Miami, and Boston College the public. Miami and Boston College are However, the Big East agreement does not require Miami or Boston accused of violating fiduciary College to remain in the conference, according to Haagen.

Janangelo wins Open Women’s golfer Liz Janangelo won the Connecticut State Open by four strokes last week at the Fox Hopyard Golf Club in East Haddam, Ct. Janangelo will be a sophomore.

“It’s been so long since I’ve been out there and I just want to play so badly,” Currie said. “The knee still gets sore after I work out a lot, but it’s encouraging to know that it’s getting better.” Currie had one of the most successful campaigns ever for a Blue Devil freshman in 2001-2002, finishing second in points scored (502) and fourth in free throws made (138) on Duke’s all-time lists for first-year players. Her 14.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game earned her All-ACC freshman status and second-team All-ACC honors. Currie was expected to be an integral part of the 2002-2003 pre-season No. 1 Blue Devil squad, but those hopes were shattered just five seconds after the opening tip against the Premier Players club. Currie’s left knee buckled as she

planted to shoot a lay-up, and a subsequent MRI revealed a tear in her ACL. “It hurt a lot for just a split second when I went down,” she said. “But then I couldn’t get up or walk.” Since that injury, the red-shirt sophomore has been following an ambitious rehabilitation program designed to have her 100 percent healthy by next season. Currie’s physical therapy initially involved regaining basic strength and range of motion in the knee. This summer, though, she is finally able to participate in more intense activity. She lifts and participates in conditioning drills with team members four days a week and gets specialized therapy twice a week. Despite her progress, the 6-foot guard/forward is still unable to take part in five-on-five scrimmages but should be ready for competition by the

end of the summer.” ■ Curried has received immense support from teammate Caitlin Howe, who understands the pain ofACL injuries as well as anyone. Howe is currently recovering

from her third tear in as many years.

Football times set The football team’s firstfour home game times have been scheduled. The Blue Devils will host Western Carolina at 6 p.m in its home opener September 6.

“I talk to Caitlin a lot and see her at rehab all the time,” Currie said. “She just knows some of the things that I’m going through and has been really supportive and positive.” The Blue Devils certainly hope that their versatile star will be ready for fall practice, but, unfortunately for Currie, her injury will prevent her from joining teammates Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis this summer on the national team squads. Beard is playing for the USA World Championship for Young Women team and Tillis was selected for the Pan American Games roster. Currie, who played on the USA Basketball Junior World Championship team prior to her freshman year at Duke and may return to the squad next summer, will be rooting for Beard and Tillis despite the pangs of jealousy. “I really wanted to be able to play for the USA teams,” Currie said. “I had a lot of fun two years ago at the World Championships. Of course Fm happy for Iciss and Alana, but I really wish that I could be playing with them.”

ensured,” and Duke and North Carolina, who were hesitant to vote in favor of discussions about expansion a month ago, are having second thoughts

Warner breaks school record, advances to finals at Nationals Two weeks after moving into second place on the all-time Duke list with a 167.25 jump in the men’s pole, junior Brent Warner catapulted to the top ofthe Blue Devil’s charts with a 16-10.75 performance in the preliminary round of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif. The record effort earned the Wadsworth, Ohio native a place in the finals on Friday night against the 13 other men who cleared the same height. Warner destroyed the previous school record of 16-8.75 set in 2001 by current Duke assistant coach Seth Benson. The only other Blue Devil scheduled to compete at the championships, distance runner Clara Horowitz, had to withdraw due to injury. Horowitz earned an at-large bid in the 5,000-meter event with her time of 16:28.10 at the East Regionals on June 3rd.

about expansion. How could a plan that seemed so popular less than a month ago be on the verge of collapse? The reason is ACC Commissioner John Swofford has failed to look- at any side of the expansion except its potential for profit. President NanKeohane stated in an email that she was prepared to vote against expansion unless her concerns were about student welfare, travel costs and divisional alignment were addressed. Was Swofford actually thinking the presidents of the conference’s schools would vote for expansion before issues such as the effect on student-athletes, team travel budgets and rivalries had

first round.

Henderson granted contract extension at Delaware Former Blue Devil basketball star and assistant coach David Henderson, who played under at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski from 1982-1986 and served as an assistant from 1997-2000, received a contract extension on Monday to remain the head coach at Delaware through the 2007-2008 season. Henderson’s previous contact expired after the 2004-2005 season. Henderson succeeded Mike Brey, another former Duke player, in 2000 at the Blue Hen’s helm. Brey left Delaware to fill the head coaching vacancy at Note Dame.ln his three seasons at Delaware, Henderson has tallied a 49-40 record, which ranks second-best among men’s basketball coaches at the school.

LAWSUIT from page 9 would be very, very difficult for [the Big East] to sustain this lawsuit.” In a statement Sunday, ACC commissioner John Swofford said that “Conference expansion and institutional realignment is not a new concept.... This process is not complete, but we do plan to continue.”

This is a dangerous sign for the conference if Swofford is struggling to deal with money and power issues already with the conference. What is going to happen when three more athletic power- ■ houses enter the conference? Will Swofford have the political skill to effectively communicate with an even larger conference? These are all questions that only a pure optimist could answer positively. Another area Swofford is failing to address is how the ACC will be viewed around the country. Before this expansion decision, the ACC was regarded with the utmost respect from nearly everyone in the country for its combination of athletic excellence and academic prestige. But if the expansion destroys the Big East conference, will the casual fan begin to look at the ACC as a villain. And if the conference is vilified, will the NCAA be less sympathetic to bubble teams for both the NCAA basketball tournament and

Bowl Games? These are all areas that Swofford must address before the ACC can think about increasing its bank account. The Herald-Sun of Durham contributed to this story. Robert Samuel is a Trinity junior and managing sports editor. His column appears weekly over the summer. But the attorney for the Big East, Jeffrey Mishkin, supported the merit of his clients’ case, stating that the conference was “prepared to go to court.” In fact, Mishkin told the ACC Monday that he would seek accelerated discovery, therefore forcing the defendants to present its evidence expeditiously. As such, the case would be placed on the

Connecticut State Court’s docket, and then advance to court quicker.

The Great Hall in the West Union Building received a massive overhaul this summer in preparation for the arrival of the TIP students.

GENETICS from page 4 teachers across the nation pointing to the need for students to have access to high-quality science references independent from their textbooks. “The encyclopedia addresses what students are expected to know by the time they are finishing high school while delivering on the issue ofaccessibility and readability,” Potter said. Although it is too soon to determine whether students are benefiting from the new encyclopedia, there has been “good, strong positive feedback and strong reviews” from Library Journal and the American Library Association’s Booklist Magazine, Horvath said. The Duke researchers who authored articles in the encyclopedia volunteered without compensation for their contributions and wrote “because they care about their field and are interested to see their field promoted,” Horvath said. Involvement in projects such as the genetics encyclopedia reinforces IGSP’s commitment to education and research, said Pericak-

Vance. “Part of the mission of IGSP is the education of not only scientists, but the general population,” Kraus said. “To be a leader, you have to act like a leader. We want to be a leader and being a part of the genetics encyclopedia is one way to act like one.”

FCJL reorganization right move

The

the Freeman Center for Jewish Life took a positive step toward improving its financial stability last week by agreeing to make major changes in its infrastructure. When students return to Duke in the fall, they will benefit from the Freeman Center’s dramatically increased financial stability, and greater ability to focus on day-to-day student oriented and programming activities. The centerpiece of the Freeman Center’s reorganization will be the dissolution of its governing board, which was responsible for raising the initial funds for the summer, and since charged with oversee operations and fundraising. While dissolution is clearly the right move, such action is long overdue, as an external review of the center conducted a year and a half ago concluded that the board was negligent in assisting fundraising efforts. In fact, the FCJL was kept afloat in the past few years only by reserve funds left over from the center’s construction, and anticipated running into serious financial trouble as soon as this coming year. The University will assume control ofthe Freeman Center building and will manage the services that the FCJL has traditionally provided to students. Several members of the old board will be retained in an advisory capacity, to help to smooth the transition period. By agreeing to allow the University to aid in its administration, the Freeman Center will now be included in the formal University-budget, which should solve many of the center’s financial problems. When the University takes over management of the FCJL, the center’s current director, Jonathan Gerstl, will take on a new role as Duke’s executive director for jewish life. This change will allow Gerstl to focus more intensely on fundraising and strengthening the support base for the center among Duke’s alumni and major contributors, something he could not do as effectively while having to worry about the center’s day-to-day operations. The FCJL’s previous board was plagued by a poor fundraising history, a malady that Gerstl’s new placement should go far towards remedying. Students will also reap direct benefits from the FCJL’s overhaul. By the time Gerstl has moved into his new position next year, he will have appointed a new FCJL director, whose responsibilities will focus mainly on student-oriented programming activities. This will likely translate into better special events, speakers and social opportunities for those involved in Jewish life on campus. These events will draw attention to the center and improve its image for both students and alumni. By dividing up responsibilities among several competent leaders, the FCJL’s performance will improve in both the financial and programming areas. While the new hierarchy of management at the FCJL is poised to solve the the center’s previous financial woes, the new leadership must work diligently to convince alumni and investors that the center is a permanent, well-managed and integral part of life at the University. The FCJL’s efforts at reorganization are commendable, but it should have reacted to its external review results sooner, rather than waiting until it was facing financial crisis before taking these necessary actions

Read these lips about tax cuts Democrats have been groping for away to counter President George W. Bush’s maniacal tax cuts, which are designed to shrink government and shift as many things as possible to the market.

Thomas Friedman Guest Commentary May I make a suggestion? When you shrink government, what you do, over time, is shrink the services provided by federal, state and local governments to the vast American middle class. I would suggest that, henceforth, Democrats simply ask voters to substitute the word “services” for the word “taxes” every time they hear President Bush speak. That is, when the president says he wants yet another round of reckless “tax cuts,” which will shift huge burdens to our children, Democrats should simply refer to them as “service cuts,” because that is the only way these tax cuts will be paid for—by cuts in services. Indeed, the Democrats’ bumper sticker in 2004 should be: “Read my lips, no new services. Thank you, President Bush.” Whenever Bush says “It’s not the government’s money, it’s your money,” Democrats should point out that what he is really saying is “It’s not the government’s services, it’s your services”—and thanks to the Bush tax cuts, soon you’ll be paying for many of them yourself. As former Nixon-era Commerce Secretary Peter Peterson just observed in The New York Times, when Bush took office, the 10-year budget projection showed a $5.6 trillion surplus—something that would easily prefinance the cost of Social Security. The first Bush tax cut, coupled with continued spending growth and post-Sept. 11 costs, brought the projected surplus down to $1 trillion. “Unfazed by this turn-around,” Peterson noted, “the Bush administration proposed a second tax-cut package in 2003 in the face of huge new fiscal demands, including a war in Iraq and an urgent ‘homeland security’ agenda.” Result: now the 10-year fiscal projection is for a $4 trillion deficit. This in turn will shrink the federal government’s ability to help already strapped states. Since most states have to run balanced budgets, that will mean less health care and kindergarten for children and the poor, higher state college tuition, smaller school budgets and fewer state service workers. And Lord

On the

knows how we’ll finance Social Security. Everyone wants taxes to be cut, but no one wants services to be cut, which is why Democrats have to reframe the debate and show Bush for what he really is: a man who is not putting money into your pocket, but who is removing government services and safety nets from your life. Ditto on foreign policy. As we and our government continue to spend and invest more than we save, we will become even more dependent on the world to finance the gap. Foreigners will have to buy even more of our T-bills and other assets. And do you know on whom we’ll be most dependent for that? China and Japan. Yes, that China—the one the Bush team says is our biggest geopolitical rival. “In the 19905, Japan and China’s excess savings were financing our private sector investment, because the government was in surplus,” says Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International. “Now, with these looming deficits, China and Japan are being asked to finance our government’s actual operations.” That makes us very dependent on their willingness to continue sending us hundreds of billions of dollars of their savings. Should China and Japan not want to play along, your services will very likely be cut even sooner (unless you believe in “voodoo economics”). Which is why Democrats should rename this tax bill the China-Japan Economic Dependency Act. I don’t think Democrats can win the presidency with a single issue. You win the presidency by connecting with the American people’s gut insecurities and aspirations. You win with a concept. The concept I’d argue for is “neoliberalism.” More Americans today are natural neolibs, than neocons. Neoliberals believe in a muscular foreign policy and a credible defense budget, but also a prudent fiscal policy that balances taxes, deficit reduction and government services. To name something is to own it. And the Democrats, for too long, have allowed the Bush team to name its radical reduction in services, and the huge dependence it is creating on foreign capital, as an innocuous “tax cut.” Balderdash. This new tax cut is a dangerous foray into wretched excess and it will ultimately make our government, ourselves and our children less secure.

Deep fried twinkles and the American dream

hot summer air settles in across the American landscape, the sweltering masses flock to their favorite leisure venues in search of the latest innovations in underwhelming entertainment and overpriced food. Being the good citizen that I am, I followed the smell of grease and the sound of cheering straight to my local minor league ballpark. Walking through the concourse on the way to my seat, I was assaulted by a myriad of food and beverage choices. All ofthe usual suspects were there: the hamburgers, the hotdogs, the cheese fries in the mini batting helmet, but I was in no mood for ancient and ordinary. Suddenly, out of the comer of my eye I saw a sign: Deep Fried Twinkies.

Andrew Waugh Summer Commentary Gazing through the glass at the concession stand, I saw them: golden brown, covered with powdered sugar, and mounted on Popsicle sticks. Now this is America. Since my first indoctrination in American culture, I had dreamt that our amber waves of grain would be employed in the formation of something so beautifully gluttonous as the deep fried Twinkie. As I took my first bite into this four-dollar delicacy, and the powdered sugar sprayed across my face and shirt, I had an epiphany about the evolution of the Twinkie and

its place in the American dream... From the beginning of its history, America has celebrated excess. Through pain and adversity, Americans strove to build the biggest, fastest, and most opulent examples of everything; each accomplishment a new symbol for the greatness of the country, and evidence of the country’s ability to endure and to conquer.

The dawn of they knew also that the Twinkie’s time the nuclear age, and the threat of global would come again, just when American destruction once again left Americans excess was needed the most. questioning the durability of their The year 2001 came and again the nation’s power. As thousands of hardAmerican way oflife was threatened. Just

as the War on Terror entered full stride, the Twinkie resurfaced, ready to lead the new America through the most trying times in its history. Though the old Twinkie was a hermetically sealed wonder, able to survive decades on the shelf, its passive, post-apocalyptic attitude was a relic of the Cold War, and didn’t resonate the ideals of preemptive conflict. Taking a frozen Twinkie, dipping it in batter, and frying it for 90 seconds, a brilliant concessions expert in New York City gave us the deep fried Twinkie. This new model represents everything the new America stands for. With thrice the calories and six times the fat content of its predecessor the deep fried Twinkie is the apocalypse, harnessing a force that only American

ingenuity could push to its full potential, face of any who dare take a bite out of it. The Twinkie was always a compact and durable example ofAmerican success and excess, but in ages of insecurity it has always been the standard bearer for American ideals. As I finished chewing and swallowed my first little bite of heaven, I realized that this snazzy new Twinkie upgrade was far more than just the newest fad in American junk food genius, it was also a comforting reminder

that, American attitude endures and will always seek to further the causes of arrogance, gluttony and conquest. Now if only we could get a McDonalds built in Iraq, I know there would be nothing more to fear. Andrew Waugh is a Trinity junior and a regular Chronicle columnist.

Student privacy at risk

college campuses across the nation, student privacy is under attack. At several schools, deans and administrators have begun to use tactis bordering on espionage to obtain information about students who promote the use of drugs and alcohol, and are using that information as grounds to dissmiss those students from school.

But, hey, that couldn’t happen at Duke, right? Well, it hasn’t yet, but the building blocks for such a campaign against student life are certainly in place. We have a Student Affairs division that is disdainful of the social scene on campus, and that would like nothign more than to see selective living and on-campus parties become a thing of the past. The Hideaway, Duke’s only on-campus bar, was recently shut down. Fraternities have been moved off-campus. Further, Duke lacks a strong student government organization to stand up for student concerns if and when such action becomes necessary. Although evidence like this is hardly indicative of an assualt on students’ rights, students in coming years should be on their guard. Who knows whether a letter like this one is currently lurking in the filing cabinent of our dear friends at Student Affaris?: Dear Suits in the Student

Affairs Department, Nan,
