Trask fills ACC opens arms to Miami, Va, Tech. two top VP positions By MIKE COREY The Chronicle

By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

Executive Vice President Tallman Trask announced Tuesday that he has filled two upper-level positions on his staff: vice president for financial services and vice president for campus services. Hofler Milam, currently vice president, chief operating officer and chief financial officer for QualChoice of North Carolina, will assume the day-to-day control of the University’s finances. Kernel Dawkins, currently associate vice president for facilities at Yale University, will lead the newly-created division of campus services. “Hof and Kernel bring an extraordinary wealth of experience in working with others to provide outstanding service and sound management for large organizations,” Trask said in a statement. “We carried out national searches for these positions and considered several hundred individuals. In both cases, our search committee was unanimous that we had found the right people to lead these important operations, which affect daily life at Duke in so many ways.” Milam succeeds Michael Mandl, who is leaving Duke to become executive vice president for finance and administration at Emory University.

It was at that point that Virginia :h joined a lawsuit brought by the Big East football-playing schools in ist-ditch effort to stave off the ACC’s to raid its conference. At first, it appeared as if the plan fas working, as the ACC presidents tumbled into a 6-3 stalemate during expansion discussions, with opposition coming from Duke, North Carilina and Virginia. A 7-2 majority is tecessary for legislation to pass ac>rding to ACC bylaws. However, the expansion efforts were uscitated when University of Viria President John Casteen proposed the ACC consider expanding to 13 >ols, with Virginia Tech included, development was a strategic move for Virginia, as the Cavaliers refused to support expansion unless Virginia Tech was included in the new ACC. From there, the ACC presidents whittled their options down to two models: a 10-team model that would add only Miami, and a 12-team model that would include Miami, Virginia Tech and either Syracuse or Boston College. The 10-team option was gaining considerable momentum Tuesday, as Big East member Rutgers and the Big East founder—in addition to Duke and North Carolina—came out in favor of the ACC taking only Miami, on the condition that it would cease courting other Big East institutions. As such, it came as a great surprise Tuesday night when reports surfaced that Virginia Tech and Miami would be the invitees to the ACC, which would :

WASHINGTON The State Department’s intelligence division is disputing the Central Intelligence Agency’s conclusion that mysterious trailers found in Iraq were for making biological weapons, U.S. government officials said Wednesday. In a classified June 2 memorandum, the officials said, the department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research said it was premature to conclude that the trailers were evidence of an Iraqi biological weapons program, as President George W. Bush has done. The disclosure ofthe memorandum is the clearest sign yet of disagreement between intelligence agencies over the assertion, which was produced jointly by the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency and made public on May 28

Palestinians were wounded President George W. Bush reacted skeptically to the reports of a cease-fire. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” Bush said at a Washington news conference with European leaders. “The true test for Hamas and terrorist organizations is the complete dismantlement of their terrorist networks, their capacity to blow up the peace process.” Israel said an internal Palestinian deal was of no consequence and that the Palestinians would be judged on their actions, including whether they can halt bombings and shootings. “It can be a positive step only if it will lead to a complete and total cessation of all terrorist activities without a time limit,” Israel’s U.N. Ambas-

sador Dan Gillerman told The Associated Press. “Only when that happens and the terrorist infrastructure is completely dismantled will the way be paved for a true and hopefully successfully peace process.” Fatah, whose own military wing has also carried out attacks, joined Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in signing the agreement. Smaller armed groups have not yet signed on. Kadoura Fares, speaking on behalf of Fatah, said that in recent weeks there have been intensive contacts among Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, who is jailed in Israel, and Khaled Mashal of Hamas and Ramadan Shalah of Islamic Jihad, who are in Damascus, the Syrian capital.

on the CIA Web site. Officials said the CIA and DIA did not consult with other intelligence agencies before issuing their report. The report on the mysterious trailers was initially prepared for the White House, and Bush has cited it as proof that Iraq indeed had a biological weapons program, as the United States has repeatedly alleged, although it has yet to produce any other conclusive evidence. In an interview with Polish television on May 30, Bush cited the trailers as evidence that the United States had “found the weapons of mass destruction” it was looking for. Secretary of State Colin Powell echoed that assessment in a public statement the next day, saying that the accuracy of prewar assessments linking Iraqi trailers to a biological weapons program had been borne out by the

Criteria for New policy asks for proof of legal status president announced By CINDY YEE The Chronicle

By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle

Want a job? You may be in luck, The search committee for President Nan Keohane’s successor released its list of “criteria and qualifications” for the position Tuesday. At first glance, the lengthy list might indicate that any Jim Bob next door has a shot at taking the helm, provided that he or she possesses certain sought-after qualities ranging from moral leadership to intellectual vigor and fundraising ability. But here is where the similarities between the University’s presidential search and an ordinary help-wanted ad-

vertisement end. First of all, they’ll contact you. Secondly, you’ve got to be good. Real good. Still, Robert Steel, chair of the presidential search committee and vice chair of the Board of Trustees, said the “criteria and qualifications” are by no means exclusive. Instead, he said, the committee made a conscious effort to compile positive characteristics, rather than an See CRITERIA on page 7

Under a new University policy, graduate and professional students who are not US. citizens must provide documented proof of their legal status in the United States in order to enroll or continue enrollment at Duke. In an April memo to the deans of the various schools and directors of admissions and financial aid, Provost Peter W/Vr Lange explained that all non-citizen students will now be required to present “evidence of immigration status” to the International Office by the first day of classes.

about 96 international students’ documents were unaccounted for. Before the implementation of the new policy in April, prospective students were expected to notify the University of their legal status on their applications, but the information provided on the application was more or less taken on good faith, Gotten said. The result was a number of “unknowns” in University records. Ruderman said such cases were traditionally rare. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, however, there was an increasing number of “unknowns”—a trend she said gave rise to concern. “The threat of terrorism really raised everybody’s consciousness about who are the students in our institutions,” Ruderman said. “We should at least be able to say who they are, and whether they have legal status in our country.” Gotten said the new policy also addresses issues of inaccurate or incomplete record keeping within the University’s own databases and was spurred in part by the USA PATRIOT Act, passed shortly after Sept. 11, which requires universities to track foreign students

and scholars. “Across the country, universities have been looking more closely at their record keeping since PATRIOT and since Sept. See LEGAL STATUS on page 7

Eye Center still short SIOM for approved building By MALAVIKA PRABHU The Chronicle Although construction for the Albert Eye Research Institute—the new Trustee-approved addition to the Duke Eye Center—is to begin July 1, the center is still about $lO million short of securing the requisite funds to complete the new building, The institute, approved unanimously by the Durham City Council last week and set to go up on Erwin Road, stands to cost $24.5 million. Dr. David Epstein, director of the Duke Eye Center and chair of ophthalmology, is optimistic about completing the fundraising campaign by December 2004, when the building is projected to be completed. The 72,000 square feet the new institute would provide are critical to the mission of the Eye Center—where the research laboratories are currently full and faculty is “landlocked,” Epstein said. Expansion of pediatric services is much needed to increase the treatment options for the 12,000 children the Center sees on a yearly basis. Epstein said it is imperative to complete the AERI’s pediatric floor, the only clinical floor in the research-oriented building. This move will facilitate a transition from the current location of pediatric services, which now sits in the basement of the Eye Center. Currently, the plan is to let the pediatric floor remain a shell until more funds are procured. “We need at least another $1.5 to 2 million before we can complete the children’s floor,” Epstein said. The gift of $8 million by Ruth and Hyman Albert in

March 2002 set off the fundraising campaign for the new institute. Renee Wallace, stewardship officer at the Eye Center, is coordinating the fundraising effort, which is now diversifying its solicitation effort. “We are now enlisting foundations [to donate money], and we have charged the Eye Center [Advisory] Board [to help raise money],” Wallace said. The completion of the AERI promises that Duke will become one of the nation’s top eye institutes, Epstein said. “We really want to be and have potential to be number one,” he added. Dr. Sandy Williams, dean ofthe School of Medicine, agreed that being on par with other leading programs in the nation is a “realistic aspiration.” “All of the elements that predict success are present [at the Eye Center]: outstanding leadership, a remarkably able faculty and a large and growing clinical service program,” Williams wrote in an e-mail.“Scientific opportunities abound; for example, to identify the genetic factors that predispose individuals to common causes of blindness like glaucoma and macular degeneration, and to pioneer new therapeutic measures.” The Eye Center’s genetic thrust will be accompanied by efforts at the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, Epstein said. Jeffery Vance, co-director of the IGSP’s Center for Human Genetics, said the interaction between his center and the Eye Center is fairly unique. Many disorders that affect the eye have a strong genetic basis, he said, and the field of ophthalmology will benefit

from the interaction

“Because, we have two such strong components [in the Eye Center and the CHG], I expect the collaboration to increase,” Vance said. The rosy outlook of the AERI is, by all accounts, blemished only by its fundraising woes. With a year and a half to go in campaigning, Epstein is counting on philanthropists, grateful patients and alumni to donate additional funds. Fundraising for the AERI is part of a greater $4O million campaign for the Eye Center, which includes the creation of endowments to fund ongoing research.

RLHS may increase seating on independent corridor By VIRGINIA RUSSELL The Chronicle The University is considering the addition of more seating to the perimeters of Main West Quadrangle and Clocktower Quadrangle—a move that administrators said could engender a more welcoming atmosphere around students’ residences. Eddie Hull, dean ofresidence life and executive director of housing services, said the idea is merely in the developmental stages and would have to go through several levels of approval before it could materialize. “This is a residential corridor, yet there is very little about the Main Quad that invites residents, or others, to enjoy the space—unless you are just passing through,” Hull said. “The notion of a

‘front porch,’ where you can sit and talk with a friend, read a book, eat lunch, or just relax and watch the world go by is missing from these students’ homes.” Hull said that while the Main Quad is a showpiece for West Campus, it is also home to a number of Duke students and serves as a crossroads for the community. Ideally, he said, the residential quads would be maintained as places people can admire, but would also come to provide a friendly atmosphere for the University. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta added that the idea behind extra seating, which will accompany the student-built benches already in place, is that the Main Quad will become more personal and interactive if

people have more spaces to socialize. “This would stimulate community interaction,” Moneta said. “The more opportunities there are to interact, the more it will happen.” In years past, these quads have benefited from the presence of selective living groups, which each semester would build personalized benches. With the creation of the independent corridor last year, these benches were all but removed. Hull has had experience in utilizing university grounds in similar ways. He said that while he was director of residence life and student housing at Southern Methodist University—a post he left when he came to Duke in 2002—he witnessed positive reactions on the changes he made there. Judging from his previ-

ous experience with such projects, he said, this could also be advantageous for the Duke community. Anthony Vitarelli, president of Campus Council, wrote in an e-mail that he sup-

ports the addition of seating to the quad. “I want Campus Council to bring life back to the quads,” he wrote. “We want to make the quads a destination again.” There is no telling how long the ap-

proval process could take, but a decision could be made during the 2003 fall semester, Hull said. If the idea is approved and appropriate funding is readily available, the project will be immediately started, he added. Furthermore, if the community is satisfied with the result, additional seating on the academic quad may eventually be considered as well.

New method uses computers in designing proteins By MEREDITH MONTGOMERY The Chronicle Researchers at the Medical Center recently introduced a new method of envisioning and producing proteins that could potentially be used for psychiatric treatment and ecological indicators. Associate Professor of Biochemistry Homme Hellinga, whose study was published in Nature, incorporated a novel use of a computer program to specifically target the engineered molecules for three individual proteins—serotonin, lactate and TNT. Hellinga’s success in creating a high specificity between the engineered protein and its ligand—the molecule to which it binds—portends great advances in biomedical technology. Using a computer program that can recognize amino acid protein sequences through a process known as dead end elimination or computation, Hellinga’s

laboratory designed and created specialized proteins. Researchers then tested three model proteins to sense serotonin, lactate and TNT, respectively. “[The computer program] knows how to describe atomic interactions.... It is very cleverly able to rule out combinations [of amino acids] which should not exist in dead end elimination,” Hellinga said. The implications of this research are wide, Hellinga added. The serotonin-sensing protein could aid doctors in understanding the effects that serotonin levels and electrical brain circuits have in an array of psychiatric disorders, while the lactate-sensing protein could signal metabolic stress in a living system. “Such work is indeed exciting and should offer some exciting fruit by combining the best of genetic and computational approaches,” said Scott Fraser, who is familar with the study and is a researcher at the California Institute of Technology, another uni-

versity investigating dead end elimination. Loren Looger, a graduate student who assisted in the research at Duke, said the TNT-sensing protein could be used to detect underwater explosives with greater accuracy and precision than currently available technology. Looger said this protein research offers away to monitor and “paint a nice profile” of a number of drugs and toxins in patients. “I think the highly specific nature of our detection method (and the ability to develop sensors for most any compound) would be a significant contribution to medical monitoring,” Looger wrote in an e-mail. Duke is one of the few research facilities taking part in the study of these new engineered proteins. The other facilities currently researching the dead end elimination method include a facility in Germany and one at the University of Washington. Hellinga was the first to publish his findings.

us to retain the flexibility we already have to craft our class,” Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said. “I’m pleased they are allowing race to be one of the factors, among many. I’m pleased they recognize that having a diverse student body is a legitimate interest of universities.” Despite media reports that the court delivered a “split ruling,” affirmative action actually gained significant legal vindication, said James Coleman, senior associate dean for academics at the law school. “I don’t think there is any question that this is a good day for people who support affirmative action,” Coleman said. “The key question before the Supreme Court was, ‘Can you consider race?’ and the court held

that you can.” The discrediting of quantitative affirmative action systems will primarily affect admissions procedures at large public universities, Guttentag said. Such universities will be forced to eschew the time-saving process of assigning points based on racial identity in favor of a more individualized approach similar to Duke’s. “How colleges that are in Michigan’s shoes get to what’s allowable will, I expect, take an infusion of resources,” Guttentag said. “Colleges like the University of

Michigan have an incredibly large number of [admissions! decisions to make in an incredibly short period of time. My guess is they used the point system to help manage the large applicant pool, and they will have to think of other ways to do that.” The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will not be affected by the ruling. Unlike many public universities, it does not use a points-based system in its admissions decisions. Jay Shively, acting assistant dean of admissions for Carolina Law, said he was pleased with the ruling. “WeTe just satisfied that we are operating under legal systems and are not doing anything questionable,” he said. Although Duke appears to be in the clear, Guttentag would not rule out the possibility of having to tweak admissions policies as a result of the ruling. “It’s possible that once the decision is studied in detail, some further nuances may appear,” Guttentag said. He will be briefed by University Counsel David Adcock soon on the specifics of the court’s ruling. The majority opinion on the Michigan law school case, upholding the use of race in admissions, was written by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and passed five to four.

academic institutions in the country, and its academic and administrative leadership have accomplished a great deal in recent years,” Dawkins said in a Kernel Dawkins statement. “I'm excited about joining the team and helping to provide the best possible services to help keep the Duke

Top women’s Duke coaches react to expansion recruits visit Duke today By MIKE COREY and CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

Five Duke coaches expressed their opinions regarding ACC expansion and the invitations of Miami and Virginia Tech to increase the size ofthe conference to 11 schools. Reaction ranged from resignation to optimism. “Most of us, I think, as basketball coaches were against it, but we were curious what the reasoning was and it sounds like it was really based on foot-

By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

After netting the No. 1 recruiting classes in the nation in 2002 and 2003, the women’s basketball program looks to add to its impressive streak when two of the top rising high school seniors visit Duke today. Alexis Hornbuckle, a 5-foot-11 guard from Charleston, W.Va., and Tasha Humphrey, a 6-foot-2 forward from Gainesville, Ga., are ranked as the No. 2 and No. 3 prospects, respectively, by the Blue Star Girls Report.

Hornbuckle, named to the Parade All-America First Team last season, averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, five steals and four blocks per game as a junior at South Charleston High School. She transferred to South Charleston after leading nearby Capital High School to consecutive state titles as a freshman and sophomore. “I love Duke’s team and Coach G.,” Hornbuckle said. “But Duke’s also a really good school academically. ‘Education first,’ that’s what my dad always said.” Joining Hornbuckle in Durham is Humphrey, a very close friend whose accomplishments at Gainesville High School are equally impressive. Like Hornbuckle, Humphrey was a First-Team Parade All American as a junior, and her gaudy statistics—21 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists per game—reflect the versatility of style and ability in her game. “If I were to come to Duke, I could bring a lot of options to the team because I can play a lot of positions,” Humphrey said. “I also really love the campus, atmosphere, coaching staff and players.” Academics will weigh heavily on Humphrey’s choice of schools, and she relishes the idea of getting a degree from Duke. “I want to be an anesthesiologist,” she said. “If I were to graduate from Duke, I feel like I’d be set for getting into good medical schools.” Both Hornbuckle and Humphrey have narrowed their choice of schools to Duke and Tennessee. The two superstars have known each other for three years and hope to land with the same program. Whichever school wins their services will likely have the top-rated recruiting class, and as of now the Blue Devils may have the edge. “Right now, I’m leaning toward Duke,” Humphrey said. “But Alexis and I are going to wait a while to make our decision.”

ball,” head women’s basketball coach Gail Goestenkors said in an interview with The Chronicle Wednesday. ‘You have to look at principles, values, tradition,” men’s head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a press conference Tuesday. ‘You’re part of a bigger sphere out there than just the ACC.... There is a lot to be said about your geographic area and that landscape. You don’t go in and just say, We’re going to take you and you and you and not have sensitivity’ I think we haven’t distinguished ourselves in doing that.” However, Goestenkors does believe the selection of Virginia Tech and Miami, as opposed to the northeast schools that were being considered, does assuage some of Duke’s concerns of

travel and time away from class. “Now it appears that with Virginia Tech and Miami that alleviates some of the burden of the [problems] we would have incurred had [Boston College and Syracuse] been included,” she said. Men’s baseball coach Bill Hillier wrote in an e-mail that he thought “all along that the presidents will do what they think is best.” Women’s soccer head coach Robbie Church, who used to coach in the 12-team SEC, wrote, ‘We’ve missed less class here [at Duke] and had less travel time with fewer conference teams, which is great for student athletes...For us, it would have ideally been best to stay as an eight-team league, but we’ll adjust to whatever changes happen.” However, women’s lacrosse coach Kerstin Kimel was displeased because onlyVirginia Tech fields a lacrosse team, therefore preventing the ACC from having the minimum number of teams to qualify for an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. “I am disappointed that invitations were not extended to either Syracuse or Boston College in addition to Virginia Tech...” she said. I am not sure how having an 11-team league accomplishes the goals that the ACC set out to accomplish with this.”

Jones expected to go in second round By JAKE POSES The Chronicle

Last year at this time, Duke players were dominating NBA draft-day buzz. Analysts debated whether

Jay Williams or Yao Ming

deserved to be the Houston Rocket’s top pick. Mike Dunleavy received assurances that he would be a high draft pick, and he was taken third overall by the Golden State Warriors. Carlos Boozer was also a potential first-round selection, although he fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round. A year later, much has changed. and Both Williams Dunleavy had somewhat disappointing rookie seasons, and in 2003, Duke’s pre-draft hype is not nearly on the same level as 2002. Two of last season’s seniors, Dahntay Jones and Casey Sanders, have declared themselves eligible for selection in 2003. However, neither is expected to be chosen in the first round, and Sanders will probably hear his name called in the

league’s two-round draft. Despite not being an early selection, Jones could have an immediate impact in the league, especially on the defensive side of the ball, according to Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. “I think he’ll be a good pro,” Krzyzewski said. “I think he’ll get the chance to do real well. Dahntay can already play defense in the NBA. His athletic ability is of the highest percentile. He still has room to improve and this year he’s shown that he can hit an open shot.” Jones has reportedly been working very hard on his game while marketing him-

Duke’s non-revenue student-athletes react to latest ACC expansion plans Devon MacWilliam, women’s rowing I wish that students had been more involved in the process (especially student-athletes). We are the ones who travel, miss classes, compete and bring home pride for Duke and the ACC when it comes to athletics. Chris Williams, men’s cross country and track It is a shame that college sports have become so commercialized and that non-revenue sports are often left behind... but i am not upset about the expansion. I think it will be good for mostly all of the sports at least in the competitive sense.

Laura Stanley, women’s cross country and track Honestly, I wish the ACC could just stay the same.... I know that change is hard and is often turned away from, but I think that here it is unnecessary.... It seems like it’s all about money and show, and that is sort of disappointing. Chris Brede, men’s swimming I don’t worry about the travel too much, for I can’t see us having the money in our budget to make a trip down to Miami, unless of course we have a sort of fund raiser like those team car washes that you see high school kids doing...

against the original impetus of wanting to expand, as a 12-member ACC was sought—at least in part—in order for the conference to have a football championship game, a potential big moneymaker for the entire conference. With just 11 teams, the ACC would have to persuade the NCAA to lower the number of teams required in a conference to hold a football championship game, or the conference would have to find a 12th member. The ACC may request a waiver of the requirement, but the NCAA’s Division I associate chief of staff Steve Mallonee said Wednesday that he was unaware of

Washington Post that the 12-team option will be difficult, particularly considering the black eye the ACC has developed during the entire expansion process. “This was all salvageable and could have had a magnificent finish until last night,” the source said. “We have some issues here.

It’s not a proud moment.” Regardless, ACC Council of Presidents chair and Clemson president James Barker was very optimistic in a statement made Wednesday afternoon, officially announcing the ACC’s invitation to Virginia Tech and Miami. “These two institutions represent and share the values for which the ACC has long been known,” Barker said. “We feel they will be a great addition to our family.” Virginia Tech’s old family in the Big East used the defection as an impetus for a great deal of animosity yesterday, as the Hokies had vowed very recently that if the ACC were to offer them a place in the conference that they would turn it down.

Boston College released a succinct statement Wednesday in reaction to being dropped from consideration by the ACC, which stated that its discussions with the ACC had ended, and that the Big East was now considering new

The women’s tennis team, which lost five players from last year’s third-ranked squad, took an important step this week in rebuilding its perennially talented roster, when it announced the signing of Tory Zawacki for the fall of 2003.

Older sisters Tracy and Terry Ann—a two-time AllAmerican—both played at Wake Forest, while the third sister Tammy played for Seton Hall. The Demon Deacons did not have any scholarships available to offer Zawacki, and the only other schools that she seriously considered were Florida and Georgia. “In the end I liked Duke the best because it focuses on academics and athletics,” she said. “Florida and Georgia weren’t quite as strong academically.”

Duke’s Virada Nirapathpongporn, the 2002 NCAA Individual Champion, found out first-hand last week just how good 13year-old phenom Michelle Wei really is. Wei, already dubbed the Tiger Woods of women’s golf, became the youngest player in the 108-year history of the United States Golf Association to win an adult title, defeating the Blue Devil star 1-up in the finals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links. “Despite the loss, I’m actually very satisfied with how I played,” Nirapathpongporn said. “[Michelle] is just a great player.” The Honolulu, Hawaii, native used her strong long game to overcome Nirapathpongporn’s consistency over the 36-hole showdown, winning the match-play battle 1-up. The duo was all square at the 135yard 35th hole (par-3 17th) when Nirapathpongpom missed a three-foot putt for par. That rare mistake in her normally precise short game essentially cost the Thailand native the tournament, as birdies were rare throughout the week on the par-4, 370-yard 36th hole. Nirapathpongpom gave herself a chance to force a playoff, but her 20-foot birdie putt missed slightly right, giving Wei the victory. “I knew that putt on the 17th was important,” she said. “As soon as I missed it, I knew it was going to be tough to come back.”

Although she faltered at the end, Nirapathpongporn was in control for much of the morning round. She was four-up after a stellar opening eight holes and appeared to have the momentum. “She just didn’t give me a chance to make birdie,” Wei said of her opponent’s early surge. “I was about to give up.” But Wei birdied four of the next six holes to finish the first 18 all square. once again Nirapathpongporn jumped out to a 2-up lead in the afternoon round, but Wei recovered and came away with the victory after Nirapathpongporn bogeyed the 17th. The Duke senior reached the finals after eight tiring days that included 11 rounds of play. She won the stroke-play qualifying event for the 64-woman field, allowing her to play the last qualifier in the first round. Her game improved throughout the week, as she defeated Carling Cho 3 and 2, Gabby Wedding 4 and 3, D’Rae Ward 4 and 3, and Beth Allen 5 and 4 before falling to Wei. “I actually got better and better from the practice rounds, to the qualito match play,” fying rounds, Nirapathpongporn said. She hopes to use this experience to help her succeed in the US Open at the beginning of July, where she will see Wei once again. “This is definitely an experience I can take a lot of positive from,” she said. “This will be good for the US Open and for my own development over a long period of time.”

That’s affirmative

a landmark decision Monday, the Supreme Court held that race can be a factor in college admissions. The court stressed, however, that affirmative action is no longer based upon the need to compensate for past racism and discrimination, but on a desire to reap the benefits of a racially and ethically diverse environment in America’s universities. As a result, colleges should not strive to fill racial quotas or admit students based solely on race,

but should value diversity when selecting their incoming classes. The Court ruled in a split decision, striking down a system at the University of Michigan’s undergraduate school which assigned students point values in a number of categories, and made admissions decisions based upon the totals. Students ofracial and ethnic minority groups were awarded bonus points equal to a full GPA point. This pracitice was determined to be unconstitutional, and discriminatory towards non-minority students. Michigan claimed that such an objective system was necessary in order to process the 25,000 applications they receive each year. On the flip side, the court ruled 5-4 to uphold the policy of Michigan’s law school, which gives race less prominence than the undergruate school and does not award minority students a set bonus on the grounds of race. This does not involve a quota, but improves the odds for minority students. The Court’s decision is reflective of the notion that affirmative action policies with regard to admissions should not be tailored to meet generic quotas, but geared toward obtaining the benefits that result from a diverse student body. Using a point scale reduces race to a blunt measure rather than an attribute ofthe student as a whole. Colleges should value diversity, yet should not quantify it like SAT scores or an extracurricular activity. Future college admissions policies must be flexible and make the effort to evaluate the student as a whole person. At large state schools that process a large volume of applications, this may mean hiring more admissions officials to go through applications. More generally, the ruling points to the fact that a traditional conception of affirmative action has failed to close the gap between minority and non-minority students in many respects. As it stands, affirimative action serves to address educational inequality from the top-down. Students gain access to educational reasources after their formative years have already passed, when learning habits have already been formed. In many cases, minorities arrive at college unprepared due to poor elementary and high school preparation. Further, non-minority students, and some minority students themselves often assume that their admission was the result ofaffirmative action as opposed to hard work. This would also ensure that affirmative action would benefit lower and middle class minority families, and not only the exceptional minority students who have money and access to the top schools. Minorities and society as a whole would undoubtedly be best served by a bottom-up approach, which would equal the playing field from the very beginning, giving minorities access to better elementary and high school systems. Also, a focus should be placed on encouraging parents to take a more active role in the ecuation of their children. The real issue is often more a socio-economic one, and resources should be devoted to redressing that disparity.

Anyone familiar with NATO operations in Bosnia and Kosovo should have understood that we needed two armies for this invasion.

that’s who he was. A hairy, balding third

world country, she thought. But that didn’t mean she wasn’t hurt, not to mention bitter. With all the investment she had put into Vietnam, she wasn’t ready to go that easy.

He was clearly a terrible black spot on her dating history that she didn’t like to talk about and hoped only to learn from it. "He wasn’t that cute," said Daisy, who was a year younger than Sidney and thus had not witnessed Vietnam and Sid’s inner protests at the time to know that of course Sidney realized

Caleb wasn’t cute. Sidney explained. "Ooooooh," Daisy hummed. "Yes, I

abroad. Freshmen have the added burden of worrying what the UN (sororities, powerful in name and significant to belong to, but wielding little actual power) would think. After hooking up with Devon, Daisy received a lecture from her friend Camilla, whose older sister belonged to the UN, warning her that she would look slutty if she randomly hooked up. I’ll just do it repeatedly then, she thought to her-self. He’s not too bad.

Making the issue more complicated, Devon was the first guy Daisy had ever hooked up with who didn’t worship her, so he was a challenge, a nation to conquest. Months of investing troops and tanks and planes won the war until, like a smart little most-powerful-country in the world, Daisy realized she was way too developed for Vietnam. She doesn’t like to talk about it now. Lili is in the middle of her own Vietnam, though of course you never realize that while you are still fighting.

"So are you staying together next year when he is abroad?" Sid asked of Dili’s current relationship, as she, Daisy and Lili reclined in pedicure chairs. Sidney personally knew about a half dozen guys obsessed with Lili and was convinced they would appreciate her more or at least convince Dili’s current boyfriend that he had to fight to keep her. "Well, if we stay together, it will be almost a year, and I’ve never had a boyfriend that long before," Lili said. Sid and Daisy’s usually happy tanned blond faces slipped into frowns as though they were mirrors. Lili was justifying future actions not by feelings towards her boyfriend but by the relationship itself. Vietnam, they mouthed together. "Leave while you can," said Daisy, -

Coin’ to Long Island in my mind

After

21 years, this quintessential Long Islander is leaving...for good. The girl who speaks at the speed of light and embodies all stereotypes of New York, New York is packing up her life and learn-

Summer Commentary ing to say y’all. I’m taking my unmistakable accent, and with my family, am relocating to the South. I’m pretty standard for a New Yorker my age—third generation American whose great-grandparents came to Ellis Island and settled in New York. Grandparents and parents were raised in Queens, Brooklyn or the Bronx, worked hard all their lives. Once the grandchildren were born, they moved out to Long Island to give the kids a better life. Instead of apartments we grew up with houses and big backyards. We went to public schools—not parochial—and we never took buses to get around town. As I prepare to shift below the Mason-Dixon line, I realize there is a unique culture I leave behind, one you can’t find anywhere else. It’s not New York, it’s not "the city", but a lifestyle specific to the suburbs stuffed between the five boroughs and the Hamptons. Long Island is the only place I know where people go to sleepaway camp well into their 20s. First they are campers, then they become staff. All I want to know is with tuition at several thousand dollars per summer, how many years does it takes to become part owner? The sad reality: when these people graduate college, the only job on their resume is counselor at

movies, mini-golf, bowling and getting coffee, with all Camp Let-me-take-your-parents’-year-end-bonus. There are some commercial staples here that I don’t ending around midnight. Regardless of what you do, know how I will live without. For example, at any one on Long Island you always end up at the diner. It’s the only place in town where you have to wait for a table shopping center you will find one or more of the folat 11 p.m. lowing: a bagel shop, pizza place, Most weekends of high school deli, nail shop and/or hair salon consist of piling into booths with And by some miracle of economics, i may be leaving Long your friends and ordering massive they all stay in business.
