THE CHRONICLE

After being elected to a rare second term as president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, Rob Saunders said he’s trying hard this year to put the “success” in “succession.” The key to a productive year, in other words, is continuity. “Because we’re a student organization, there’s a lot of turnover,” Saunders said. “People get elected, they get a lot done, and then they leave.” Saunders said his first year was hampered somewhat by having to familiarize himself with the job from scratch. As a result, GPSC is working on an executive agenda for future presidents detailing all issues, relevant contact information and advice on how to

proceed. After graduating from the Col-

non, a neurobiology student,

lege of William and Mary in 2000, Saunders entered Duke to pursue a doctoral degree in physics. Now a fourth-year student, he is currently researching X-ray detectors for breast cancer prevention and enjoys swimming, going to the weight room and ushering forbasketball games in his spare time. His first year as president taught him who to talk to, what to work on—and, he said with a laugh, that reading the entire canon ofWestern literature—one of his goals for last year—was not as easily accomplishable as he

originally thought.

stepped down after her adviser relocated to Canada. But considering that 17 of 19 election races went unopposed last year, a surprising amount of enthusiasm has emerged in filling the position, he said. About 15 students showed interest, and Saunders said he has narrowed the list down to a few candidates. “At the end of the spring semester, a lot of people get burnt out,” Saunders speculated. “You don’t want to lake on new responsibilities. If you advertise things in the summer or the fall, people are more enthusiastic.” Increasing the visibility of SEE SAUNDERS ON PAGE 6

With a University-backed promise from the Durham Police Department to crack down on off-campus parties, many students say Duke’s neighbors may not have much to complain about over the next few weeks. Following last weekend’s student celebrations, Durham residents living near undergraduates off East Campus complained of excessive noise at night and trash-littered streets in the morning. Durham police responded by issuing a letter to students living off campus, warning them that they risked criminal charges should the offenses be repeated. In turn, the University offered to assist Durham police by assuming some of the costs involved with enforcing a no-tolerance policy in the areas surrounding East Campus. “As for now, I would say that the ‘crack down’ is something that will add caution and better control from all the fraternities in regards to off-campus parties,” said Joe Kelly, president of

Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. For the upcoming weekend, many fraternities have planned section parties on West Campus or will be hosting their parties in local night clubs and bars. Neighbors should not see the types of off-campus parties they found so disturbing last weekend, fraternity members and off-campus students said. Many added, however, that students will probably head off East Campus again after the initial shock of the DPD warning wears off. “People will have to lay off for a little while and keep things a little more ‘under control,’” said Dave Moe, president of Eta Prime—formerly Kappa Sigma fraternity—and an off-campus resident. “But the off-campus parties aren’t going to stop altogether. In the long run, I don’t think it will really change.” Kelly said the recent admonishments from Durham police have caused Delta Sig, which is on social probation until fall SEE PARTIES ON PAGE 6

The United States and BEIJING North Korea had their first face-to-face meeting in four months Wednesday as part of broader six-nation negotiations on ending North Korea’s nuclear program. Diplomats downplayed prospects for an early breakthrough. James Kelly, an assistant secretary of state, and Kim Jong-11, North Korea’s deputy foreign minister, met on the sidelines of formal discussions, helping to set a businesslike tone for the Beijing talks, Asian diplomats said. Their meeting also broke a freeze on direct dialogue between the United States

and NorthKorea after a stormy encounter in April in which North Korea warned that it was moving quickly to develop and deploy nuclear arms. China, Russia, South Korea and Japan are also participating in the unusual sixparty talks, which were convened to pressure North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons program and to address its demands for a security guarantee from the United States and its allies. China, which arranged the talks through extensive shuttle diplomacy, has taken an unusually active role in trying to find common ground between the entrenched positions of the United States and North Korea, and it is eager to see the

discussions, at a minimum, result in a commitment to keep talking. China has begun pressing participants to agree on language for a multiparty declaration at the conclusion of the talks that would provide a framework for future negotiations, said a foreign policy expert with close ties to China’s Foreign Ministry. The role of China is viewed as essential to generating momentum because the United States hardened its negotiating position, ruling out its offering initial concessions. Efforts to forge even a modest agreement on the direction offuture talks could be fraught with difficulty. SEE NORTH KOREA ON PAGE 7

U.S. may permit other forces in Iraq by Douglas Jehl NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON The Bush administration has signaled for the first dme that it might be willing to allow a multinational force in Iraq to operate under the sponsorship of the United Nations as long it is led by an U.S. commander. The idea was described by Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state, as just “one idea being explored” in discussions at the United Nations. It was first hinted at publicly last week by Kofi Annan, the U.N. secretary general. Armitage’s remarks, made Tuesday to regional reporters and released by the State Department Wednesday, marked a potential shift in course for the administration,

which has until now insisted that all military, economic and political matters in Iraq remain under total U.S. control. Allowing the United Nations to have a leadership role would be intended to win support of the Security Council for a new mandate authorizing the U.S.-led occupation of the country. In his remarks, Armitage declined to discuss the plans in any detail, saying, “I don’t think it helps to throw them out publicly right now.” But he described the arrangement under consideration as “a multinational force under U.N. leadership” in which “the American would be the U.N. commander.”

DRH posts S3M profit in F2003 by

THE CHRONICLE

Durham Regional Hospital is officially turning a profit this year for the first time in five years. Official financial reports released Wednesday revealed the community hospital—which has been managed by the Duke University Health System since 1998—is more than $3 million in the black for the 2003 fiscal year, which ended June 30. The surplus comes after a half decade of budget struggles and deficits ranging from $16.9 million to $2 million and several years of uncertainty about Durham Regional’s future. ‘The community should celebrate this community hospital and the way this hospital has taken charge to enable it to stay open,” said Kevin Sowers, acting chief executive officer of Durham Regional. Officials credit strict adherence to a manageable budget and careful staff management as the driving factors of the hospital’s success. Increased surgical volume has also enabled the year’s growth, said Chief Financial Officer Mark Miller. A newlyopened bariatric services unit—which performs anti-obesity surgeries—and an unexpected increase in volume at the endoscopy unit—which is responsible for colonoscopies among other procedures—account for much of the revenue increase. General surgical volume throughout the entire region is also up, Sowers said. To overcome the $3.3 million shortfall that was initially projected for this year, Durham Regional secured $350,000 from Select Medical for leasing space within the hospital and received a $950,000 gift from the Durham

County Hospital Corporation.

The success comes after four years of cost-cutting strategies led by Durham Regional’s former CEO Richard Liekweg, who resigned in February to become CEO of the University of California at San Diego Medical Center. Durham Regional’s most notable contractions were the shutdown of the Senior Health Center in Northgate mall and the Oakleigh Substance Abuse Treatment Center. The hospital, however, still must improve to reach complete financial solvency. Industry officials said hospitals must yield approximately 3.5 percent profit of total expenditures in order to be fiscally stable. This year’s profit is only about 1.8 percent of total expenditures, and next year’s projected profit is only 0.7 percent of expected costs. Increased investment and chronic financial struggles with Medicare reimbursements and nursing staff account for next year’s projected dip in revenue percentage. “Obviously we always strive to do better and to be able to invest in the hospital,” Miller said.

New scheduling model in works by

The provost’s TaskForce on Course Scheduling has zeroed in on a new scheduling model it believes will address student and faculty concerns surrounding the current system. Now, members of the task force continue to finetune the model, hoping to have it ready for implementation by fall 2004. Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academic and administrative services, said the proposal now in consideration —one of four original proposals—is not drastically different from the schedule the University uses now, but still addresses problems highlighted in discussions with students and faculty last spring. Ruderman said the current proposal adds more courses that meet twice a week and start later in the morning—-8:45 instead of 8 a.m. In addition, the proposed schedule

She added that the new schedule should also improve students’ course options over the current model.

in terms of programming,” Bolas said. “The one attribute that would be very important for a university museum director is the enjoyment of and commitment to the academic enterprise.” Mezzatesta served as director of the Duke University Museum of Art for 16 years before being released. For much of that time, he was working toward the creation of a new, internationally respected museum—the Nasher Museum of Art, now under construction on Campus Drive but was forced to cede the museum’s reins as a new chapter begins in the University’s art museum history.

Jessica Ward has spent the last two years teaching monkeys to count. Working in an on-campus psychology lab, the junior takes the monkeys out of their cages, sits them in chairs and locks them in a soundproof booth. Then she encourages them to first touch one square and then two. “It takes lots of treats and lots of patience,” she said. Ward, a pre-veterinary student, is one ofmany Duke students who gave up a summer in Rome or a job waiting tables to work in a science laboratory. Some go into the job with dreams of finishing an entire project and are usually disappointed, but many enter with lower expectations and come out of the experience with a whole new perspective and set of skills. “I thought I’d be mixing things and repeating something that’s already been done,” said sophomore Matt Fischer. Instead, Fischer arrived at his lab to discover he would be performing miniature surgeries, extracting bronchial tubes from mice and threading wires through them. “It’s really cool that you get to have a piece of something that on one else was looking at,” Fischer said. Like many other students working in labs, Fischer was working on cutting-edge research this summer.

stirs controversy again by

Jennifer Hasvold THE CHRONICLE

Although the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s summer reading assignment for the Class of 2007 did not make waves nationally as last year’s selection did, it still sparked its fair share of controversy in North Carolina. In “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America,” Barbara Ehrenreich examines the condition of the working class by taking various minimum wage jobs across the country, from working at a WalMart to cleaning houses, and trying to ‘make ends meet.’ The book’s selection sparked controversy in the Research Triangle Park and criticism from those who thought the book was too politically charged. State legislator Hugh Webster, a major opponent, called the book “intellectual pornography with no redeeming characteristics.” However, students and administrators alike said that the freshmen discussion groups on Monday were representative of a variety of viewpoints and raised awareness about contentious issues involving the working class—in the nation at large as well as on the UNC campus. “We talked a lot about respect for the people who work for the University,” said Student Body President Mark Tepper, a senior, who co-led a discussion session with Chancellor James Moeser. Tepper said that students in his session discussed ways in which they could show consideration for UNC employees, particularly the cleaning staff. ‘The idea of having to bring a leafblower to clean up [a lecture hall] is pretty disgusting,” said Tepper, adding that examples such as these sparked serious conversation about the meaning of community at UNC. In addition to addressing issues such as those found on UNC’s campus, the book also critiques the situation of the Ameri-

can working class in general and spurred debate in the discussion groups. “I thought that it was a good book because it caused controversy and made people think a little bit more about society in general,” said freshman Althea Johnson. She said that critics who said the book was politically biased missed the point. “I just thought of it as informative. It was supposed to be thought provoking and cause people to have an opinion—it obviously did that.” UNC professor of public policy and discussion leader Peter Andrews agreed. “There was no one-sidedness about it. People came up with a lot of good thoughts about the issues the book talks about,” he said. The program is optional, but recommended, for all incoming freshman and transfer students. Although numbers on this year’s participation levels are not yet available, last year approximately 65 percent of the students took part in the discussions. Last year UNC’s book selection caused an uproar, locally and nationally, when the committee chose “Approaching the Quran; The Early Revelations” for freshman summer reading. Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Learning at UNC Cynthia Wolf Johnson said the attention this year was probably a result oflast year’s coverage. “There was little [student] reaction to the controversy [this year],” said Wolf Johnson. “The feedback was that many of the students thought ‘What was the big deal?”’ Wolf Johnson said last year’s episode played no role in the committee’s decision to choose this year’s book and that the committee will continue to choose books that engage students academically and intellectually. “If it is controversial so be it, if it is not controversial that is fine too,” she said.

mom and pop organization," Chris MacMahon said. “We’ll miss the Duke student interaction.” His wife said she was heartbroken over the University’s decision. “We put our hearts into that establishment,” Denise MacMahon said. “We certainly enjoyed the five years we spent operating the deli. The students were very'

supportive.”

The Sanford Deli had indeed been popular among students, voted best campus eatery by Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee surveys twice in its five-year existence. A year ago, the MacMahons had plans

expand and renovate the deli, but re-

ceived little support from the administration. “Duke alluded to the fact that due to the size of our operation, they could never recap the cost of the renovation,” Chris MacMahon said. “Once it gets political like that, its pretty' much a done deal.” He added that he planned to continue offer catering for special events. “We’re not leaving bitter. We gave everything we had for five years. We gained an immeasurable amount of business experience. Every way around, it worked out the best for everybody,” he said. “Inevitably, change is always good once the emotions are put aside.” Lorna Simmons, general manager and director of operations for Alpine at Duke,

is optimistic about the new location. She explained that at Sanford it will be necessary to “think outside the bagel,” and that providing quick response to student and faculty feedback will be a must. Duke has approved renovations under the new management, with plans to expand the size and capacity of the deli. The adjoining room with soda and snack machines will likely be taken over. Other changes include weekly specials to accompany a relatively simple menu featuring signature sandwich names. Upon opening the restaurant this fall, Simmons learned the building was not a political science center and thus “Filibuster” and “Senator” sandwiches did not fit in with the public policy theme. She plans to change the menu

graduate student groups tops GPSC’s list of issues to address, he said. The group launched an e-mail newsletter last year to announce pertinent events and is continuing to develop it this year. “With 5,500 students, it’s very hard to get the word out that you’re here, that ‘This is an activity for you,”’ Saunders said. GPSC, meanwhile, is trying to bolster its own reputation as an effective outlet for graduate student concerns. To that end, the group has spoken at every graduate student orientation program and started a series of community lunches to address smaller interest groups. “Last year, we talked about LGBT issues, about ethnic minorities and about women in the grad school, and it led to some really good discussions,” Saunders said. “We’d like to continue them so that GPSC has a formal avenue to talk to students [it] can’t hear regularly.” Providing child care for graduate students will be another GPSC concern. Saunders praised the most recent advances —30 of the slots in the expanded Children’s Campus program have been reserved for graduate students, and the Graduate School is offering a child care subsidy for all doctoral students—but added that the effort is not over. An attempt to provide a full-time co-operative initiative has run into trouble, he said, because North Carolina state law prevents unlicensed co-operatives from having children present for more than four hours at a time and because offinancial problems. “We’ve been advocating for several years to have more space,” Saunders said. ‘To be frank, I’d like to see subsidies offered to all students, but you can’t get everything all at one time.” Other issues are likely to include parking —a perennial point of discontent, though Saunders said the new Parking Garage IV has made matters much better—the possibility of an undergraduate mentoring program and a greater graduate student presence in general on campus. Jacqueline Looney, associate dean of the Graduate School, lauded Saunders’ willingness both to take charge and listen to others. “Rob is a very thoughtful leader,” Looney said. “He has a style where he considers lots of views different from views he has.... He’s very inclusive in his leadership [and] worked hard to recruit a great team on the executive council.”

break, to take extra steps to ensure that its off-campus party scene does not rub the wrong way with authorities. He added, however, that the police warning would not prevent the fraternity from hosting its off-campus parties. Mark Boyd, another member of Eta Prime, noted that even if students do not plan to throw huge bashes in their off-campus homes, there is no way to exercise complete control over what happens on their streets. “It’s a situation where people just start looking for parties. There was nothing going on on West [Campus] at this point, so they were wandering aimlessly around East,” Boyd said. He added that he spent hours Saturday night trying to clear his house offreshmen who had appeared, unexpectedly, at his door. Jett Greenberg, a former member of Phi Psi —one of an increasing number of fraternities to lose University housing over the last few years—said off-campus parties will not die out. “Duke University has made a concerted and conspicuous effort to remove fraternities that like to have parties away from campus,” Greenberg said. ‘The next logical step is for them to move off campus and continue with their social habits and traditions.” Like Greenberg, many students blamed the University for creating a situation in which off-campus parties are needed to fill the gaps in on-campus entertainment. The parties will not stop, they said, until there is a comparable alternative. “When I was a freshman, the on-campus scene was really all there was,” Moe said. “As far as I know, there aren’t very many frats that are allowed to throw parties on campus right now. That’s just the way things panned out with Duke.” Boyd told a similar story, saying a freshman told him over the weekend that he had come off campus because he “could have heard a pin drop” on West Campus. “Obviously the programming the school is providing is not drawing the crowds, because the crowds are just walking from house to house looking for beer,” Boyd said. “The root of the problem, which is clear to anyone with half a brain, is that college students should be hanging out on campus on Saturday night, and not in the neighborhoods beyond. But when you create a situation where people can’t hang out on campus, you’re going to have

board soon with sandwich names such as “Environmentalist. Students expressed optimism about the new management. “The old Sanford proved that students are willing to go off [Main] West to get a sandwich. If you put a good product out there, people are going to come,” said Chris Chin, a sophomore and a member of DUSDAC last year and this past summer. Kwadwo Acheampong, a sophomore, felt that the food at the old Sanford was good but was left wanting more and hoped the new management would satiate his need. “I liked the wraps, but there should have been more food in them,” Acheampong said. “As long as they offer more food and a better price, I’m happy.” ”

Especially after the freshmen find their own social niches, he said, off-campus parties will be a little more mellow. ‘The next two or three weeks are going to be crucial, and for the most part, everyone I’ve spoken to is going to lay low,” he said. ‘When there are parties in the future, they will probably be smaller, just because it will be more people we know, and not as many freshmen just wandering off campus, going where the crowd goes.” Will Plaxico, a member of Kappa Alpha fraternity living off campus, said people will probably just let neighbors’ anger subside before doing anything off campus again. “I wouldn’t worry about it too much,” he said. ‘They’re just trying to scare us a bit with all the warnings.”

SCHEDULING

The Job ahead will be much changed from what it was during Mezzatesta’s directorship, Lange said, calling for a “different ambition.” “We’ve got a museum [that] can do a lot more in terms of exhibitions, traveling exhibitions [and] putting on display our own art... and it’s almost certainly a museum which can interact with our academic enterprise at an even higher level than Director Mezzatesta was able to bring it,” Lange said. Bolas identified a strong correlation be-

schools. “It’s extremely significant that Duke has undertaken to create a substantial and durable and beautiful art museum on campus, and certainly it will be one more jewel in its crown of distinction,” he said. ‘There is great promise on the horizon for the Nasher Museum.” Mezzatesta’s departure was the most recent in a series of exits by prominent administrators, most of whom decided to leave to pursue other opportunities in higher education.

the same time slots. She also said that faculty have voiced concerns about balancing their personal schedules under the old model. ‘The proposed schedule goes back to addressing studentand faculty needs,” she said. Ruderman stressed that the model is still a work in progress. “We will go back to the faculty and the students in their representative bodies at some point this fall to tell them about the proposed model,” she said. “We’re in the process of finalizing it, so I wouldn’t want to say that it’s all set in stone.”

NORTH KOREA from page 2 The American negotiating team outlined an uncompro-

mising agenda at the outset that puts the onus on North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program before negotiations about diplomatic, political or economic incentives take place, participants said. The Japanese delegation also took a tough line Wednesday, while China, South Korea and Russia were viewed as advocating more moderate positions that characterized the problem as two-sided, diplomats said. Some Bush administration officials had argued in favor of a more conciliatory approach in advance of the talks, but they were overruled by hard-liners who felt that the United States reward North Korean leader Kim Jong- H’s breach of a 1994 pact ending its atomic weapons program, a senior administration official said. Still, some local analysts say the United States and North Korea have privately told China that they are flexible on some important points. The United States could be prepared to offer a security guarantee, and North Korea could be ready to commit publicly to giving up its nuclear program. That could be the basis for a joint statement ofintentions if the talks promust not

gressed smoothly.

It is not surprising that the two main parties are stating maximum negotiating positions at the outset, said Shi Ymhong, a leading foreign policy expert at the People’s University in Beijing. Both sides had to step back in order to make these talks possible, and China clearly feels that over time more progress can be made. China is the host to the negotiations at the Diaoyutai state guest house, a sprawling, garden-filled compound in western Beijing. The parties sat at a giant hexagonal table specially made to accommodate six delegations. The Chinese placed the American and the North Korean participants in adjacent comers, which could have facilitated the one-on-one discussion between Kelly and Kim during a break in the afternoon session. The two men talked for 30 minutes, two Asian diplomats confirmed. The United States has insisted on including South Korea, Japan and China in the talks and ruled out bilateral meetings, arguing that only multilateral pressure was likely to convince North Korea that it had no choice but to dismantle its nuclear facilities. North Korea had rejected multiparty talks, but changed its stance last month under heavy Chinese pressure. Bush administration officials said they did not rule out talking directly to the North Koreans in the context of a

Over the next year, the task force will try to find an easy way for departments to schedule courses while meeting the mandates designed to spread courses throughout the week, Ruderman said. Ruderman acknowledged that some people —like those who are accustomed to going out Thursday nights—might be dissatisfied with the new scheduling model. There will be more Friday classes, so maybe this will keep some people from partying on Thursdays. Maybe not, I don’t know,” she said. “We’re not out to change the culture, but simply to reap as many benefits as possible from our schedules and our resources.”

broader meeting. But the fact that Kelly met Kim on the first day was seen by some participants as a sign of modest flexibility by Kelly. A South Korean official who participated in the meetings described North Korea as willing to resolve the nuclear issue

through dialogue. Chinese officials also put a positive spin on the talks. “I heard talks this morning and this afternoon were very successful,” Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing told delegates during a reception. “I congratulate you. This also implies everybody reached an important consensus, and that is everybody hopes the Korean Peninsula will be stable, peaceful and denuclearized.” But Japanese and Russian participants were more cautious, suggesting that none of the parties had offered concessions. The Russian deputy foreign minister, Alexander Losyukov, described the negotiations as fragile and said both the United States and North Korea had raised obstacles to an early resolution. “So far, the countries have put forward a number of preliminary demands, which are blocking the developing of these talks,” Losyukov was quoted as telling Russian reporters in Beijing. “I would not say that I am feeling great optimism.”

LAB RESEARCH

Junior

Emily Heikamp spent the first halfof her summer working at a renowned bio-genetics lab in Cambridge, England. “When I got there, the first thing they told me was, ‘You can’t tell anyone this. It’s totally top secret,”’ Heikamp said. “It was sort of intimidating.” Heikamp added that she struggled to find textbooks explaining the background for her summer work until her mentor at the lab told her it was not in textbooks yet. “‘You can’t always take scientific textbooks as fact,’ he told me. It totally took my world down,” Heikamp said. Many students said a vast majority of early lab work is just learning the vocabulary. Fischer said he spent the first few weeks of work reading every journal article written about mice’s bronchial tubes—a task much larger than he expected. Heikamp, who now uses cell names of seemingly random letter and number combinations casually, said she was more impressed with the British vocabulary and culture she acquired from her colleagues. “In the beginning I was searching on Google.com for ‘apartments for rent,’ and in the U.K. they call them ‘flats for let,”’ she said with a laugh. Students said the easiest part about the work is finding it. Dozens of grants exist on Duke’s campus, and labs are always looking for help. Of course, working in a lab is not without its trials. Ward said one of the other keepers once locked her in a cage accidentally. “I had to do a MacGyver-like move to get out of there,” she said. She added that dealing with monkeys can sometimes make problems outside the lab seem trivial. “Nothing that a roommate can dois worse than having a monkey throw poop at you.”

IRAQ from page 2 The Pentagon has historically opposed any arrangement in which U.S. troops are not under U.S. command, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has expressed opposition to putting the current U.S. force in Iraq under U.N. oversight. The apparent flexibility on Iraq policy

appears to reflect deepening concern within the administration about the unwillingness of many other countries, including France and Russia, to contribute troops and money to the U.S.-led effort in Iraq.

Small Step...

By Hilary Lewis

Since

its inception, MTV's Video Music Awards has been the setting for surprising performances and appearances. However, for the past few years, these aspects of the show have been perhaps more memorable than the awards themselves.While you probably can't readily name the past four Video of the Year winners, you probably know about Britney's striptease performance in 2000, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's appearances in 2001 and 2002 and P.Diddy's high-flying performance last year. When this year's ceremony airs tonight, the show will most likely be the site of such requisite events, but we're told that there will also be some awards handed out.

From Durham to Vogue By Whitney Beckett Whoever said that nothing fashionable ever came out of Durham, N.C., clearly does not keep abreast of their Vogue editors'biographical information. Like a rose sprouting from the town's tobacco fields, Durham native Andre Leon Talley—better known to fashionistas worldwide as StyleFaxer—blossomed into one of today's most influential fashion figures, despite an inauspicious background and some serious hurdles to overcome. But that is what makesTalley special: Even from a young age, he saw the beauty in the simplicity of his Durham home where his maternal grandmother—who worked as a maid at Duke most of her life—raised him. Tasks as seemingly mundane as his grandmother's handwashing and pressing of their bed sheets showed Talley

what luxury was and how fulfilling cultivating it could be. "Durham was a wonderful place to grow up. It has some of the most beautiful landscape you could be privy to," StyleFaxer gushed on his way back from a two-hour workout."! loved Durham, I loved my family, I loved my church life. I never felt like I was different in high school, except for the way I dressed." Talley—editor-at-large for Vogue and literally large (or at least tall) as a six-foot-seven African-American man—had a pension for style even at a young age.The same man you may have spotted towering over Bergdorf racks in a floor-length fur coat and perfectly buffed Manolos, continued on page 4

This year's nominees, with the possible exception of Missy Elliott's much-lauded "Work It" video, are not as blatantly innovative as Jamiroquai's floor-moving "Virtual Insanity" clip. However, across the board, many of the nominated videos are still original in their approach. While many of the rock and hip-hop videos embrace the songs themselves, offering creative yet literal interpretations of the lyrics, many of this year's pop nominees have taken a different tack. Star power can still be strong enough to cause a sub-par video to be nominated on the basis of the artist's popularity. This year, many such stars have produced meticulously conceptual videos that are more autobiographical than artistic, while adding a new dimension to the song that results in a different sort of continued on page 4

Examining the college rankings that truly matter...

Whitney Beckett

By Dean Chapman If you're as bored as we are by the never-changing U.S. News and World Report annual College Rankings (could we please move ahead of UPenn?), you'll be happy to know that the good people at the Princeton Review have released their new, far more entertaining rankings for the 'O3-'O4 academic year.As usual, they're full of fun. Recess lets you in on the results and offers its opinions The news is good for us at Duke.We've been crowned the 3rd "Best Overall Experience for Undergraduates" ahead of even our friends in Cambridge. Beyond that,we rank highly as tough to get into, having a beautiful campus and packing the stadiums {it turns out we're quite the "jock school"). More ignominiously, we garnered positions on the "Little Race/Class Interaction"and "Town-Gown Relations are Strained" lists, but, hell, at least we're off the "Alternative Lifestyles aren't an Alternative"top 20. The favorite Ivy League party spot, meanwhile, remains Dartmouth College; the inebriates in Hangover Hanover managed a number 5 ranking for "Lots of Beer" and landed at number 10 for "Major Frat and Sorority Scene." Sadly, a passed out Sam Adams soaked nerd is still a nerd, and, predictably, a number of top public Uni's held their own as the true creme de la creme of partiers.The University of Colorado-Boulder took home top honors for partying this year (adding to its title as number 1 for'Their Students Never Study"), thanks in large part to its top 5 rankings in "Lots of Hard Liquor,""Major Frat and Sorority Scene" and "Reefer Madness." News of the Colorado triumph likely proved disappointing to the Blitzed Badgers at Wisconsin, who finished as the new 2 party school despite the remarkable feat of capturing dual number 1 rankings in both "Lots of Beer" and "Lots of Hard Liquor." Colorado and Wisconsin also earned high marijuana honors, but the

summa cum laude graduates in this category go to Skidmore College. Potheads at Lewis & Clark College fared well too with a number 2 ranking, and also managed to capture the even more coveted "Birkenstockwearing,Tree-hugging, Clove-Smoking Vegetarians" crown.The godforsaken town of Portland, Oregon contains not only Lewis and Clark, but also its cross-town God-ignoring rival Reed College;the two "Nostalgic for Bill Clinton" schools placed first and second in the category "Students Ignore God on a Regular Basis." By the way, an institution calling itself"Simon's Rock College of Bard" places third behind the Oregonians in the reefer category; one thing you can't slight the Princeton Review for is lack of thoroughness in scouring all the colleges in the country. Now all of this may leave you asking, so where do the losers go to school? There are many places, but a few deserve particular recognition. Both Wheaton College and the US Naval Academy earned high rankings for"Don't Inhale,""Got Milk?""Scotch and Soda, Hold the Scotch" and "Stone-Cold Sober Schools," but there remains only one true giant in the world of college-age temperance and self-denial.And that school is Brigham Young.The moderating Mormons at BYU took home first place in each of the last three categories listed above and finished 2nd for "Don't Inhale," Still, despite it all, life is good for the Puritanical pupils in Provo who placed 2nd for overall quality of life. And perhaps the most depressing school in America is the Illinois Institute of Technology which ranks not only as the ugliest, but also happens to have the 4th least happy students; Montana Tech has the least happy and Cal Tech has the kids who study the most; interestingly, the school "Most Nostalgic for Ronald Reagan,"Washington & Lee, also happens to be the sth biggest partier;this appears to create quite the conservative dichotomy, as the other Reagahites include BYU and the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;schools not quite into the same frat, hard liquor scene.

REVIEWS ust one year ago, Chris Carrabba's plaintive ruminations on lost love helped catapult Dashboard Confessional from cult favorite to mainstream hit and turned Carrabba into the poster boy for a much-maligned, musical sub-genre called emo. On Dashboard Confessional's breakthrough album, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, Carrabba used sparse, acoustic instrumentation as a lilting background for diary-like lyrics. Now, however, emo has been replaced in popularity and as a category by what The New York Times recently dubbed "screamo"a more aggressive form of rock relying onâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you guessed itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;screaming to convey the same earnestness. Moreover, in general, there has been an ascendance in the popularity of more melodic punk rock. Finally, Vagrant Records, Dashboard Confessional's original label, is releasing the band's latest album in conjunction with Interscope Records. Perhaps it was the popularity of harder, faster punk rock, and the emo backlash, or merely the band's success and record label pressure that caused Carrabba to create a more dulcet, chorus-driven album. Nonetheless, Dashboard Confessional's latest offering, A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar is distinctly different from the band's past releases, featuring powerful instrumentation and melodic hooks but mostly weaker sentiments, leaving the listener entertained but not captivated. The album's first three tracks feature the same driving guitars and rapid-fire drums of its lead single/'Hands Down/These infectious up-tempo tracks are performed with heartfelt intensity yet are lyrically less revealing. While "As Lovers Go" begins with bromidic quotes/'Rapid Hope Loss"features sound bites of emotion in Carrabba's repetition of the beginning of two lines in the chorus,"So much f0r.../ so much m0re.,,." Moreover, the presence of well-defined choruses, a characteristic that Places'free-verse compositions lacked, diminishes the impact

ofCarrabba's lyrics and imagery, which were vivid and memorable in past songs. Nonetheless, on more atmospheric tracks in the middle of the album, Dashboard Confessional's newfound musicality adds melody to familiarly detailed lyrics, improving the effectiveness of the sentiments."Carry this Picture" is a soft, swaying song that beautifully depicts Carrabba's newfound faith in love. Similarly, the final track,"Several Ways to Die Trying" is emotional and lyrically more sophisticated than previous efforts. However, most of these poppier tracks are so singable and radio-friendly that the impact of Dashboard's confessions is less powerful for the listener. Moreover, following a summer that has already seen Jewel and Liz Phair forsake their introspective roots for pop stardom, it's unfortunate that Chris Carrabba, who once seemed so committed to remaining independent, is perhaps now embracing pop stardom as well. Overall, Dashboard Confessional's latest release is an enjoyable but less endearing album that also raises issues of artistic integrity and illustrates the unfortunate side effects of the popularity of indie rock.

uided by Voices fans have been burned before. While many have been hanging on ever since the original 10-fi classic. Bee Thousand, even the most devoted listeners have been disappointed by some of the departures that Captain Bob Pollard and crew have made from their original sound. Backing musicians have come and gone,Pollard has released several ill-advised solo albums and the quality of GbV songs has always been variable. However, there have always been enough moments of classic pop and arena-rock brilliance in the music to ensure that indie rockers will still line up to buy whatever album Bob spits out next .Earthquake Glue will certainly be met with the same sort of skepticism that has preceded most of Pollard's recent efforts, but GbV devotees will likely be relieved to find that the album is a strong example of faux British-accented rock and roll.That's right kids no earthquake here; Glue is rock solid. From the rolling opening strains of "My Kind of Soldier," to the anthemic "Beat Your Wings," and the flawless "The Best of Jill Hives," most of Earthquake Glue showcases Dayton, Ohio's most celebrated pop

craftsman at his best. Just about every song is a catchy pop-rock plum, executed in two minutes or less, but the album shows enough variety to keep listeners engaged all the way through. Granted, there are a few weak moments and a few songs that feel like filler, but the highlights far outshine the disappointments, and that's a relieffor all of those still Guided.

FROM DURHAM TO VOGUE

may have dressed less lavishly growing up, but he thirsted for the images in the magazines he would later write for. He would often visit Duke's East Campus library—which at the time was part of the Women's College—"because it had the most wonderful fashion magazines." But even more than these gospels of fashion, his grandmother Bennie Francis Davis shaped his love of all things wonderful."Bennie Francis Davis looked like a typical African-American domestic worker to many who saw her on an ordinary day,"Talley wrote in his memoir "A.L.T.," which came out in April of this year. "But I, who could see her soul, could also see her secret: that even when she wore a hair net and work clothes to scrub toilets and floors, she wore an invisible diadem....The sparkle from her invisible diamonds could light up the darkest corner of your soul." In fact,Talley says the southern serving of style his grandmother fed him nourished him fashion-wise as much as the exotic fare he received from his other role model, Diana Vreeland—the Vogue editor of the century who would later take Talley under her influential wing."She was an extraordinary lady who believed in human beings, like my grandmother did,"Talley, whose own memiors resemble Vreeland's unique style, said."lt wasn't just about what she wore but about who she was Talley met Vreeland after graduating from North Carolina Central University and then once more about the time he was leaving Brown University after receiving a masters degree in French studies. Like so many other seniors, when StyleFaxer left Brown (early, he was on track to receive his doctorate) he had infinite dreams and non-existent job offers. Indeed, when he arrived in New York, Talley did not even have a place to stay—he crashed with friends—or much of an idea how next to proceed. With a letter of recommendation from a friend's parent,Talley landed an elusive—but unpaid—position with the Costume Institute of the "

continued from page 1

Metropolitan Museum of Art, which Vreeland headed up. Vreeland, who could spot talent as well as she could spot panache, immediately took to Talley and eventually wrote him such a powerful letter of recommendation that it ultimately launched his career. It was a lucky break for Talley, but also one for which he had worked for much of his life."Never give up the dream,"Talley said in a voice that winningly combined a televangelist and Bill Chafe."lt can be six months before you. get a response to a resume you sent out, but never let it go." Talley, who doles out precious fashion advice each month, offered his personal advice for college students for this article.'luxury isn't about having the finest car; it's about cultivating the relationships and mentors that will enrich your life, particularly in college. Clothes should not be a luxury for a college student," he said."lf you want a Prada knapsack for your computer do Duke students like Prada?—then that is fine, but that is not what college is about. In college you do not have to go around being a fashion plate. College is about cultivating your mind and interests." The lesson extends far beyond classes in Money and Banking and into the passions that infect each of our lives. Talley applies the principles of thorough research and avid reading to his profession; he can tell you the history of Elvis' hair, the little half belt on the backs of jackets and ALL about Manolos."My whole being is about reading and learning," he said. For his monthly column, he typically gets his ideas from his daily life. It may sound unlikely, but of course his life is more exciting than most—"part of my life is going to fashion shows and keeping up with celebrities." But he is firmly in touch with his roots, as well. Every August he returns to Durham and the child—

hood house he keeps. And while he doesn't go to George's, he does drive the roads, read magazines and of course enjoys the soul food at Dips in Chapel Hill. New York doesn't have everything after all. Such trips (including to slightly more exotic locations like Russia and France), his column and book have kept him busy since his two role models passed away in 1989. Now he is looking for a new one—but maybe its finally his turn to act the part. ONE SMALL STEP... continued from page 1 of innovation. sort One of this year's most memorable videos, at least for its scandal value, was Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River."While director Francis Lawrence insists that he and Justin never discussed the details of his breakup with Britney Spears when collaborating on the concept for the video, the clip strongly alludes to their relationship. In fact, Lawrence admits that he included certain details such as using a fairy statue as a doorstop and picking a house that looked as if a "specific girl might live in it.'The video also helped Justin distance himself from his clean-cut, boy band image as he slinks around the house, enacting revenge.These personal details are reflected in the somewhat haunting, attention-grabbing video, effectively casting a new interpretation on a nondescript song. Even the video for 50 Cent's übiquitous party song, "In Da Club"is embedded with the same sort of autobiographical and image-defining details. From the shooting range scene to the final shot of Eminem and Dr. Dre taking notes and observing 50 in the club, the video is both illustrative of 50's resilience and his role in the Shady/Aftermath universe with respect to Dre and Eminem. Throughout the list of other nominated artists, more examples abound of autobiographical art. Consider JayZ's prominent role in Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" video, XTina's revelation, if you will, of her more sexually explicit personality in"Dirrty"and even J.Lo's reinterpretation of "Flashdance,"perhaps the most narratively autobiographical of all. While more traditionally creative videos are still recognized, this year's VMA nominations may reflect the latest extension of MTV's philosophy of indepth access to the artists and their lives.

Planning your social life, Recess-style Back in the day it was easy to make plans. "West" was the buzzword, and that's where it all went down. These days, the hottest parties seem to be happening off-campus. And that's where we come in. Because the rich fabric of the Durham nightlife scene is surely worth a year ofgood times, we at Recess are proud to offer our very own Durham nightlife weekly plan. Drink specials, live music, drink specials—Durham's got it. Seven nights a week, all over the Bull City, allkinds of fun. So if the media room in the WEL doesn'tmake your Sunday-Saturday schedule, share in ours. And bring your ID.

Sunday The newest addition to the Durham scene is a small New York style club on 9th Street called "9." Partnered with the new BakusTapas and Wine Bar, 9 is the breakout choice for Sunday nights thanks to its penny beers from 5-9.That's right, four fabulous hours of $.Ol beers—just pay the $9 cover and you're in. And it's even over before "Sex and the City" comes on.

It's hard to beat the big bar at George's any night of the week—but Martini Madness on Mondays tops

Monday Ah, George's.The perennial 9th Street favorite is still as good as ever. George's Garage drink specials make appearances nightly, and the bar is wide-open and ripe for fun times.We're recommending George'sfor its Monday Martini Madness.They're fierce and fiery when it comes to IDing, and the 8 foot tall "Big George" keeps the underage kids away, but it's always a good time and a good crowd over at the Garage.

our list.

Tuesday Tuesday rocks. Seriously. You've got a few options. First, Bully's Basement. Every Tuesday the basement (literally) has the hottest piano in town, with a pianist who takes requests for most any classic rock song out there. Pool tables, frat guys and a relaxed atmosphere await you at this Broad Street dive—and drink specials that are hard to beat. On Tuesdays before 10 o'clock beers go for 5 cents—and go up to $1 after ten. Not bad at all. For the academics out there—and you are one of them, admit it—we present the pub quiz at the James Joyce.The world-renowned Modernist Irish author is long dead (sorry ladies), but the good times are still going strong at this pubby Main Street hangout. You don't have to be Ulysses to conquer the quiz—trivia night's a great time that attracts all kinds of Dukies. Our word of warning: get there early.This place fills up like a leprechaun on Lucky Charms.

Wednesday It looks empty here, but come Tuesday night it's hard to find space to breathe at the Joyce.

Wednesday night is Recess production. We don't go' out. But we do recognize that not everyone whores himself to the campus arts and entertainment magazine and may want to spend a Wednesday night out. With this in mind, we're recommending a chill Wednesday night at Devine's. Come basketball season there's hardly a better place to sit back, have a drink and get rowdy. Live music is a common feature here. Even our Versaceinspired senior editorWhitney Beckett recommends the burgers. She and the Stylefaxer might be schmoozing in the back booth. Now that's Devine. Across town you've got another chill Wednesday hangout. Some will call it a biker bar, but at Recess we just call it Charlie's.This 9th Street sports bar is infamous for its unpredictable leather-loving crowd, but don't let that deter you from having a good time late into the night.The patio out front makes for a breezy, relaxed Wednesday night that attracts a lot of Dukies; inside, hang out with your friends at the bar-in-the-round or at a table.And don't be afraid to make friends.

Charlie's made its debut on 9th Street a few years ago, and hasn't looked back since.

Thursday

I can't get n0... Satisfaction. Oh, but you can. Another hyper-crowded Durham hang-

this Brightleaf Square veteran where Duke pride is flaunted all over the walls. $1 beers keep them coming back every Thursday; this place has been required drinking for Duke students for years.Tired of beer? Pizzas are abundant, tasty and easy to share. For the sophisticates among you, the boys at Delta Sig are renting out Parizade's every other Thursday beginning September 4th.The large, vivacious atmosphere is a perfect match for the "I don't take Friday classes" attitude that invades this stylish place every other week. Out back you've got a waterfall-twinkling light-elegant patio—the perfect spot for a scintillating conversation with your Delta Sig lover. Or not. out is

Never underestimate the amount of beer you can get for your money at Sati's on Thursday.

After the restaurant doses and thetables are all cleared away, Thursday night at Parizade's is a hot destination.

Friday

Congrats on making it through the week. How about celebrating with a change of pace? For that we offer Boxer's-Ringside in downtown Durham. Now I know what you're thinking. And you're right, this isn't your typical Duke college scene. But they've got some outstanding live music on the weekends and some hardcore dancing,and sometimes its good to escape. Here's to experimentation. And if you're tired of the crowds, Vin Rouge on 9th Street makes for the perfect Friday night getaway. Provincial French cooking and a classic, stately bar facilitate a jovial time with friends.The bar's got an excellent wine selection, and the martinis make the grade, too. Our fave? It's gotta be the Metropolitan. French fun without the attitude? Vive Le Durham!

Saturday

Finally, date night.That special night when you take your special someone out for a magical evening ofromance and gentile courting. Ha. Seriously though, Saturdays can be excellent.And if you want to make it an affair to remember, consider a trip to the Bull Durham Lounge at the Washington Duke Inn. Surprisingly affordable ($2.75 for a beer) and all on points (free), the Bull Durham is a fantastic alternative to the mainstream Durham fare. Look nice, don't talk too loudly and don't get angry when they include a 19 percent service charge. Lastly, Saturday night in Spanish translates to"noche de sabado."But "tequila" is universal. And that's the ultimate lesson to take home from a night at Torrero's.The big bar makes for a great start to any evening. Margaritas by the pitcher ($ 16) make every Saturday a fiesta. Can't communicate with the wait staff? Just smile and keep sipping —By Dean Chapman your drink; when the bill comes, they know what to do. _

Film

Eleven international directors tackle ‘H’o9”or in a collection of short films about the attacks By Katie Latanich Two years ago this October, my New Jersey hometown featured a shrine to family and friends lost in the Sept. 11 attacks. Come Christmas, the only physical reminders remaining were dribbles of candle wax and a lopsided skyline. We didn't forget, but we had to move on. Tragedy stops time momentarily, but time and physical distance tend to smooth catastrophe into a more orderly procession of events. If two years later the events of Sept. 11 seem surreal, they've retrospectively altered our understanding of history, of ourselves and of our place in the world.This was the rationale behind 11'09'01,a French film created in response to the attacks. Eleven directors from eleven countries were given eleven minutes and nine seconds of film and absolute freedom for a personal interpretation of the September 11 attacks. What emerged was neither a tribute to the missing, nor a commemoration of the events, nor a celebration of hope. Rather, it is an attempt to square the events historically and geographically as part of the global conscious. One British film reminds us ofanother Sept. 11:the day the infamous General Pinochet, with covert CIA support, ousted Salvador Allende's elected Popular Unity government. Israeli director Amos Gitai's segment juxtaposes the events with terrorist bombings in Jerusalem, and Alejandro Gonzales Ifterritu, representing Mexico, flashes images of plummeting bodies to a soundtrack of screams and emergency phone calls. Sean Penn represents the United States, offering the story of a grieving widower with an inausipicous window on New York. Distributors were hard-pressed to find American theaters interested in screening the film.The Carolina Theatre's screening of 11 'o9'ol, as part of the theater's "Just Here" summer series, is only the film's second major screening nationwide."We didn't anticipate this to be a big blockbuster," explains director of programming Jim Carl."lt's going to be a hard sell." As indeed it has been: I saw this film alone in a deserted theater. It's a disturbing film. Any attempt to downplay the tragedy hits, literally, very close to home, and the film has been criticized for manipulating tragedy as an artistic medium.At the same time, it's intended as an eye-opener for those who, indulging in self-righteous indignation, find themselves oblivious to the suffering ofothers. The events of Sept. 11 had causes and consequences that we're reluctant to accept. It's a bland conclusion, but the only safe one I can find. As a film intended to represent global discord, it exists as an incongruous melange of disparate viewpoints; sometimes confusing, but always emotional ‘

Facing your fears at the Carolina By Jon Schnaars and Paul Crowley

This Saturday night you could fight for a booth at the Loop, fight for a Beast Light in Kilgo quad or watch a zombie fight a shark in a gory, underwater battle to the death Thanks to Jim Carl and Matt Pennachi,two employees at the Carolina Theatre, your nightlife now can include all of your nastiest nightmares at Retrofantasma.The Carolina, a haven for Durham's indie film scene, has been bringing STAY DEAD! classic cult horror films back to the big screen on a now monthly basis since 1998. The format of this series harkens back to the 1950s custom of bringing audiences an Areel feature followed by a B-movie. Over the past couple of years Retrofantasma has been gaining an mi UUm MRIMDUrffiMHIN hi,i ardent contin-

gent of like-minded moviegoers who appreciate the value of a good ol' army of decomposing cadavers. Any regular of the series knows that the audience participation level resembles March Madness more than Wimbledon; there are door prizes, bursts of applause and the occasional scream. Each film is preceded by several vintage trailers, previewing movies that range from fan favorites to notorious flops. Carl and Pennachi gauge the spectators' responses to these previews in an effort to select future programming.The films themselves include everything from major-studio releases like Halloween II to foreign, rare and public-domain 35mm prints.The upcoming bills for Retrofantasma include vaunted movies such as Pink Floyd's The Wall and The Warriors, paired with the underappreciated, underrated, and underviewed films The Children and John Carpenter's They Live. These are movies you didn't see when they came out the first time. These are movies you haven't rented from Blockbuster.These aren't even movies you would likely watch if it were 4 a.m., you'd been sexiled and the only alternative was the WNBA preseason. So why venture down to the Carolina Theatre to catch these less-than-brilliant cine-

matic stepchildren? Because it's not about the cinematography, it's not about the editing and it's sure as hell not about the script. It's about watching a woman get her eye poked out while you're sitting in a theaterfull of people who are revolted and loving it. The feeling amongst the audience as hordes of flesh-crazed zombies barrel down on the unsuspecting protagonists can be described as rapport:just as the movie's heroes are assaulted by a legion of Haitian ghouls, the movie's audience is assaulted by a ridiculous movie. The audience that partakes of Carl and Pennachi's vision has been growing for some time now. Retrofantasma has been feeding off the popularity of the Carolina's annual Nevermore Film Festival, a showcase for newer horror and fantasy films otherwise unavailable to U.S. audiences. But for those who need their fix more than once a year, there is hope. At 7:30 p.m. on the penultimate Friday of every month, Retrofantasma can take you away from the concerns of Orgo and Curriculum 2000 for a few hours. You can escape your workaday cares and enjoy the simple pleasures of a good, clean American zombie knife-fight. Now that's entertainment.

Duke Players presents Pinter plays

ARTS

Dili's "0" Show, the Hoof'n'Horn Cabaret, the A Cappella Jam—orientation week traditionally offers a host of ways for student arts groups to strut their stuff. Traditionally, Duke Players—the student production arm of Duke's Department of Theater Studies—presents TheActor's Nightmare, a one-act play that follows an average Joe through the pitfalls of stage fright and on-stage decapitation. But this year, Duke Players president Amit Mahtaney has decided to shake things up a bit and present a new show at a new time,"Victoria's Station" and "Mountain Language,"two short plays by Harold Pinter, will premiere tonight in East Campus's Branson Theater.The performance aims to show some of the best acting Duke Players can stage. After Friday's show the group has scheduled the Alan Davis Band to perform."[We're bringing them in] to have some fun, to get to know the freshman and [help them] get to know us," Mahtaney said. Adam Sampieri, a member of the Alan Davis Band, said that his group would be playing an acoustic set of folk and bluegrass,a departure from their usual sound, arena rock. He and fellow

Beckmann and Adam "JC'Lord will also debut new material."We're very excited because we're working on a concept album based on Pinter's work," joked Sampieri."We're happy to work with Duke Players and help support the arts at Duke." Why this year's change? According to Mahtaney, who last year directed TheActor's Nightmare,"\ wanted to do something more reflective of the quality of the work we do at Duke....We wanted something politically relevant,to pick something about the humanity, or lack thereof, that comes with war."In an attempt to contrast Mountain Language, which takes place in a prison in an unspecified country where prisoners and visitors alike find themselves victims of violence

MUSIC because of their speech, with a lighter, more amusing play, Mahtaney paired it with Victoria Station, a two-man show about a minicab driver featuring actors and DUI members Greg Anderson and Rob Panter."We were looking for a short comedy sketch to put "Mountain Language" with, and it turned out that Pinter wrote one of those, too." In yet another departure from the usual frenetic, one-week-of-rehearsal nature of the orientation show, this year all six cast members and Mahtaney, who directs, studied drama in London over the summer and worked on the show in conjunction with John Clum, Chair of the Department of Theater Studies and faculty advisor to the London program.The show replaced their scene finals in London and the cast received coaching from an associate artist at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Mahtaney hopes that with the additional rehearsal time and opportunities to fully explore Pinter's work, the event can stand on its own—perhaps even good enough to make good on Sampieri's prediction;"they'll be a tough act to follow." "Victoria Station"and "Mountain Language" run tomorrow and Sunday night in Branson Theater at 8 p.m. Admission is free, although initial seating is reserved for the class of 2007.The Alan Davis Band performs post-show tomorrow night only.

Drew looks for good new Bears by

Stephen

Hawkins

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS When Scott Drew saw a 6foot-9 student walking across the Baylor campus, the basketball coach was quick to introduce himself. The new hire from Valparaiso has already scanned the rosters of other Baylor teams in search of someone who might want to give basketball a try. Such measures are necessary for Drew, who is trying to replenish the program after a tumultuous summer that included a player allegedly killed by a former teammate, the resignation of coach Dave Bliss and revelations of NCAA violations that prompted two years of self-imposed probation. Drew arrived in Waco, Tx., on Friday and held a team meeting Tuesday. Missing were the top three returning scorers, all of whom have transferred with the NCAA waiving the usual requirement of sitting out a season. Drew prefers to focus on the seven scholarship players and three walk-ons who were there. “With their determination to play for Baylor, we’re not going to be in a situation that we embarrass ourselves,” Drew said. “It’s a nice thing to know what you have. The uncertainty makes it tough so that you can’t plan for what you do. We know this is our team and we are excited to expand with walk-ons and tryouts.” As Drew continues the search for players, he’s also getting help from those already on the team. When playing pickup games, senior guard Matt Sayman looks for anyone he thinks could help this fall, even if it’s just in practice. More than anything, Sayman is glad to focus on basketball again. “It doesn’t make you forget, but it’s not in everyone’s mind what happened this summer,” Sayman said. “Coach Drew coming automatically makes people think about the future. After everything we’ve been through, we’ll be even closer as a group.” At his introductory news conference, Drew talked about helping clean Baylor’s tarnished reputation and his ultimate goal of a national championship. He was 20-11 in his only season as Valparaiso’s head coach after nine seasons there as an assistant for his father, Homer.

Fast start, bad call dooms Bulls Durham still leads the division, but could have clinched title last night by

Josh Silverstein

THE CHRONICLE

Keep the champagne on ice, throw some saran wrap over the steak and keep the victory cigars in their cases. The Bulls will have to wait at least one more day to celebrate a playoff berth and their fifth division title in six years, as they fell to the Charlotte Knights last night in a 10-7 slugfest. After the Knights batters knocked around Durham starter Delvin James for six runs in two innings, the Bulls responded in their half of the second with an offensive outburst of their own. With three runs having already scored in the inning and Durham trailing 6-4, Duke alumnus Ryan Jackson pummeled Brian Cooper’s 3-2 pitch well over the right field wall to knot the game at 6. The Bulls went ahead 76 in the fourth inning when Jason Smith trotted home on a ball off the bat of Matt Diaz that Charlotte third baseman Ryan Hankins let through into left field. Durham’s lead evaporated as quickly as it was achieved, however, as Charlotte designated hitter Mike Rivera laced a two-run double into center the next half-inning to put the Knights back in front 8-7. Charlotte’s bullpen made sure that this lead would stand, as five Knights relievers combined to shut the Bulls out for the final five innings. “Yeah, this was not a night for us,” Durham manager Bill Evers said. “We didn’t pitch well. We had a chance in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to score some runs and ended up leaving seven guys on base.” The Knights jumped on James right at the outset, plating four runs in the first inning.

The Indiana Pacers’ president of basketball operations needed only seven weeks to come to a decision. Bird wasted little time in making his first major move, firing Thomas on Wednesday and immediately targeting former assistant Rick Carlisle as his successor. “I just had a gut feeling this wasn’t going to work,” Bird said of a surprise move that came only two months before the start of the season.

ence and shook hands with Thomas—but neither smiled. The Pacers were 131-115 in the regular season under Thomas, making the playoffs all three seasons but never advancing past the first round. Speculation swirled toward the end of the season that Thomas would not be back for the final year of his fouryear contract. Walsh, however, said Thomas would return, though they wouldn’t discuss an extension.

from page 10

even if Carlisle was not availabl Numerous phone messages were left for Thomas and Carlisle. Bird and Thomas were contentious rivals from their days of leading the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons to NBA tides in the 1980s. When he was hired July 11, Bird walked off the podium at a news confer-

share of opportunities to come back. Perhaps their best opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the sixth, when they loaded the bases without even recording a base hit. Short stop Jorge Cantu left the bases loaded when he ended the inning by grounding out to his counterpart, but the biggest missed opportunity of that inning for the Bulls may have come two batters earlier when Chris Truby lined a ball off the glove of Charlotte reliever Billy Koch. Jeff Liefer, who was on first, remained at first thinking that Koch had caught the ball. But by the time Liefer realized the contrary and attempted to advance to second base, it was too late. “We had opportunities,” Evers said. “You know, we had a man on third with one out in the fifth and we didn’t get it done. That really could have changed the momentum o: the game.”

from page 9

when right fielder Armando Rios

approached the plate two batters later and deposited a three-run home run

into the lawn seating area in left center. While last night’s game featured displays of high powered offense, it was ultimately decided by pitching. With the Bulls scoring six runs in the first two innings it appeared that they would roll on to victory. This proved not to be the case though, as the Knights bullpen shut them down. “We just ran out of gas out there,’’Jason Smith said. “This was good for us in some ways at least because our offense hadn’t really been hitting the ball like we are capable of doing.” Leaving seven men on base from the fourth inning on, Durham had their fair Lifeguard(s) needed for up to 10-15 hours/ week at the Lenox Baker Children’s Hospital therapeutic pool to guard for children and adults with special needs.

Off-Campus Woes

This

past weekend, a multitude of off-campus parties at houses surrounding East Campus culminated in a series of debaucherous incidents on the part of students. Local residents informed the Durham police of numerous unacceptable behaviors including noise violations, littering and urination on private property. In response, the DPD promised to crackdown harshly on parties in coming weeks. While the actions of the students involved were in no way excusable, this unfortunate event was the result of a host of factors acting on the Duke social scene. If incidents like these are to be avoided in the future, the University, students and the Duke and Durham police departments must examine the realities of a social scene that has been pushed off-campus. In the past decade, several changes in the social structure at Duke have limited the opportunities available to students, and forced many social gatherings to take place off of school grounds. With regard to greek life, actions taken by many national organizations, in addition to moves by the administration, have left fraternities and sororities feeling unwanted and highly restricted. Many national committees have banned kegs at fraternity parties, and forbidden sororities to mix with fraternities on frat-owned property. In addition, the administration has indirectly placed pressure on the greek system by removing fraternity sections from the main quad on West Campus, and has placed several frats and selective houses on strict probation. All of these actions have contributed to the creation of an environment in which socializing offcampus has become the most attractive option for many students. While the shift toward off-campus partying was inevtiable given the social climate at Duke, the primary responsibility for this weekend’s mishaps lies with the irresponsible students involved. There is no excuse for their behavior. Students cannot complain about the social scene when their actions give the administration every reason to distrust the student body’s ability to conduct themselves responsibly in the presence of alcohol. In the coming weeks, it is necessary that both students and the Duke and Durham police be reasonable in their actions. Students should continue to relax and enjoy themselves within reason, as college kids should. The police should not stop all the parties they come across, but enforce the law when laws are being broken. Officers should create a pattern of consistency and police parties this weekend in the same manner they will six months from now.

On the record *When I got there, the first thing they told me was, You can’t tell anyone this. It’s totally top secret.' It was sort of intimidating.” Junior Emily Heikamp on the research she conducted in a bio-genetics lab in Cambridge, England, this summer.

A Voice of Radical Courage and Love And he set his face To go to Jerusalem. —Luke, Chapter 9 is the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech” at the March on Washington. In the decades since, it has become customary for politicians and commentators to celebrate King’s commitment to the American Dream, his belief in equal opportunity, and his hope that one day, the children of black and white families might be judged “not by the color of their skin,” but by “the content of their character.”

Today

William Chafe Yet these assessments are one-dimensional and fail to do justice to the struggle of Dr. King’s religious journey, the complexity of his political convicdons, and the radical courage of his commitment to social justice. Only when we understand the full range of King’s vision of equality can we appreciate his true legacy—a transforming belief in what a truly beloved community might look like in America. The first point to note is the overwhelming power of King’s religious faith. Because King was a new arrival in Montgomery, and had almost no enemies, local leaders asked him to take leadership of the mass boycott that followed the 1955 arrest of Mrs. Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white person. Drawing on his study of Mahatma Gandhi, King immediately articulated the signature theme of the movement. How could African-Americans justify breaking the law and engaging in civil disobedience, he asked? Because, like Jesus, they would use non-violence and love to redeem and make whole a divided nation. But King’s faith soon became searingly personal. Nightly phone calls threatened death to his family. Unable to sleep, tormented by visions of his litde girl suffering, King broke down one night in his kitchen. As David Garrow writes in his biography of King, at that moment King heard an inner voice saying, “Stand up for justice, stand up for truth. [lt was] the voice of Jesus saying still to fight on. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.” From that point forward, the voice in the kitchen was King’s personal anchor of faith, the message that enabled him to overcome the most dire threats. What had once been an intellectual creed had now become personal, deep, and overpowering faith. The second point to recognize is the tension King insisted upon between his embrace of the New Testament’s gospel of unconditional love and the Old Testament’s prophedc insistence on righteous justice. “It is not enough for us to talk about love,” he told movement supporters. ‘There is another side called justice. , .Standing beside love is always justice. Not only are we using the tools of persuasion—we’ve got to use the tools of coercion.” It was King’s harnessing of love and justice that led him to write his “Letter From a Birmingham Jail” to the moderate white clergymen who attacked the movement’s demonstrations in Birmingham as too rad...

Letters

ical. To those who pleaded for patience and a reduction of tension, King wrote: “non-violent direct action seeks to create. . .a crisis and foster such tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.” “I confess that I am not afraid of the word ‘tension’,” King went on, declaring that “the Negro’s great stumbling block in his . the Ku stride toward freedom.is not Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers the negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.” In words that would ring forever, King insisted that if America wanted the healing balm of love, it also needed to live with the scorching intensity of militant protest. The third and final point is the degree to which King insisted that racial justice also required economic justice. “We are engaged in a social revolution,” he insisted “[that seeks] basic structural changes in the architecture of American society.” Long before sociologists started talking about the “declining significance of race,” King focused on the connection between racism and poverty. “The evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together,” he said, “and you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others.” The only answer, he said, was “a radical redistribution of economic and ..

political power.”

All these themes came together in the last months of King’s life. Pre-occupied with death, he talked constantly, his wife Coretta said, “about the fact that he didn’t expect to live a long life.” “A profound sadness” had settled on King, one of his associates said. But there was also the voice in the kitchen that gave him the courage to continue standing up for justice and love. King was now committed to the Poor People’s Campaign, the embodiment of his understanding of the ties between racism and poverty. He knew this was an even harder message for America to hear than the insistence on an end to Jim Crow. Yet he persisted, in the face of government wiretaps, and a scurrilous letter, written in FBI headquarters, threatening to expose his sexual infidelities and inviting him to commit suicide. And so he “set his face” toward Memphis, to seek justice for the sanitation workers on strike there, even though he knew the city was a powder keg. He acknowledged that, “I don’t know what will happen now, we’ve got some difficult days ahead.” But he would not be dissuaded from the course he had set, or his insistence on nonviolence. “It doesn’t really matter with me now,” he declared the night before his assassination, “because I’ve been to the mountaintop.. .and I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.” As we remember King’s life on this 40th anniversary of the March on Washington, let us honor the depth of his faith, his vision and his courage —not the antiseptic version that has become part of our official culture, but the rich and radical legacy of his struggle for freedom.

Mexi Co. Women and Soc aIC hange

One

morning while in Mexico this past May, I woke up at sunrise with four of my peers to watch four women bake for what seemed like a hot, tiring eternity (but was actually about four hours). Theydid this as part of a cooperative bakery that they began a few years back in order to start providing for themselves and looking for alternatives to the neoliberal/free trade model of “development.”

They worked together with such

strength and unity, that watching them in

their small kitchen bake reminded me of the inner workings of a machine, quite symbolic for these women who are taking the means of production into their own hands. Inside the kitchen, it was getting increasingly hot and stuffy, but their arms, fingers, and feet kept going until every last roll was baked. The oldest woman, and a somewhat maternal figure for the other three woman, wore such wisdom in her eyes and power in her arms that watching her put all of her strength into mixing batter and pulling huge pans in and out of the oven was as if I was watching a dancer perform her masterpiece. What made this so beautiful was not the fact that women were working, but the fact that they were working towards better lives for themselves, independent of their male family members in the States, and with an integral sense of community and responsibility for one another. They explained how the quality of these iOO lI

baked goods is better than what is normally found in stores because of the flour that they use, but because of the economy most people are forced to buy cheaper goods. Because their economy has not been entirely transformed to community co-op work, there is still much dependence on the remittances, but slowly, the women are working more closely and more intensely. There is no way to tell what the future will bring, but they are moving away from male dependency and moving towards self-sustainablity and community cooperation. These individuals were part of a larger movement originally started by a few women to empower women and encourage them to form cooperative work projects and money saving projects, and to teach them how to turn their homes and gardens into sustainable living environments so that they would not have to buy imported American goods which would hurt them in the long run. When one member of the community is not doing well, the entire community must come together or else the entire community will fall apart. As immigration is on the rise, its effects on the women ofMexico might ultimately be quite emancipatory. When many Americans think about immigration to the U.S., it is assumed that the immigrant has an incredible desire to be a part of the U.S., and has chosen to move her life here in hopes of something better. What is often not realized is that when most Mexicans migrate to the U.S., it is a directresult of negative consequences of U.S. international economic policy. Not to say that many immigrants do not leave Mexico with romanticized images of the United States, but living beside the richest nation in the world would necessarily result in such visions. A nation whose land used to be rich with

com now imports most ofit from huge U.S. agri-businesses, and the land has been divided into one-crop farm plots. In order to keep relations with its super-militarized, rich, and very close neighbor to the north,

the Mexican government has failed to impose tariffs on imported com from the United States. As designated by NAFTA, up to 2.6 million tons of com can be imported without tariffs, and after that the com should be taxed 206%. But it is not, and Mexican businesses buy cheaper, mass produced, genetically engineered com from

"When many Americans think about immigration to the U.S., it is assumed thatthe immigrant has an incredible desire to be a part of the U.S....What is often not realized is that when most Mexicans migrateto the U.S., it is a direct result of negative consequences of U.S. international economic policy." the U.S. Meanwhile, Mexican farmers are left with no buyers because they cannot compete with the American government subsidized com. And so the economy goes, from com to coffee, to bread to meat. From the rich American agri-businesses to the rich Mexican companies who buy cheap goods and can sell diem for slighdy lower prices than Mexican goods. Americans keep their jobs and get lower prices, while Mexicans lose their jobs and barely see a change in price.

Clearly, immigration is so rampant because there is simply no work for so many Mexicans. The jobs that do remain in many parts of Mexico usually do not pay well enough to support an individual, much less a family. If is now customary for boys to turn fifteen and move to the United States, only returning home for December. This is now the month for marriages and celebration, conceiving children and spoiling those that are already bom. In a culture in which men over fifteen do not think twice about risking their lives, crossing the border, and working in the United States because there are no longer viable work options in Mexico, women remain in the communities with their children, dependent on the remittance check from their male family members in the States. When a month, or two, or three, goes by without a check, food is scarce, the children often leave school, and it seems that her husband, son, father, or brother has abandoned the family, Mexican women are left with few choices. But the choice to organize and form self-sustaining communities is becoming more and more viable. In these migrant communities in Mexico, women, children, and older men have hardly any income except for the remittances sent back from the States. This is slowly changing, and women are refusing to accept the current migration system. Women are beginning to work with one another in support groups, money saving groups, and co-ops to provide for themselves and do something about the failed system of neoliberalism and patriarchy that is bred by the current economy.

Rethinking the Death Penalty

North

Carolina policymakers are currently faced with the choice of supporting a two-year moratorium on executions of those on the N.C. death row. The debate has split largely along ideological lines. Many antimoratorium advocates use biblical logic (“eye for an eye”) and the mistaken notion that being pro-moratorium means you are soft on crime. But many policymakers and citizens in North Carolina overlook the reason why the moratorium debate has arisen. Evidence is arriving each day supporting the reality that many death row inmates are innocent, improperly prosecuted and

Amir Mokari defended, and inappropriately tried for murder. Not one, but several cases entering the public record are showing an iniquitous system that dissappointedly sends innocent men to death row and executes mentally retarded defendants.We must all realize that the need for a moratorium is not about whether the death penalty is ideologically right or wrong, but rather about whether the system is fair and works—it blatantly does not. Most glaring and provocative have been the facts that keep showing that many death row inmates are innocent. Many ideologically pro-death penalty policymakers and civilians support this moratorium now, not because they are swayed by statistics proving that the death penalty doesn’t serve as a deterence to future crimes or that the system has a racial bias against blacks, but because they are reading about cases where prosecutors hid evidence and wrongfully convicted and sent to death innocent men, defense attorneys sleeping through trials, and mentally retarded defendants receiving death. We must have a moratorium in order to give us time to analyze how this system has gone so horribly off course. The cases of Alan Cell, Charles Muncey, Donald Scanlon, Kenneth Rouse, and Eddie Hartman are evidence of the dire need for reform. The state tried Alan Cell for murdering Allen Ray Jenkins on April 3,1995, despite no physical evidence and

based solely on plea bargain testimony from an admitted participant in the murder. The state’s case against Cell was dependent on the murder occurring on April 3, so state prosecutors Debra Graves and David Hoke tailored the evidence for an April 3rd murder. These prosecutors withheld 17 witness statements from the defense and jury that stated that Jenkins was alive after April 3 when Cell could not have committed the crime. Prosecutors also withheld evidence from themedical examiner inducing her to give scientifically inaccurate testimony corroborating their murder date. In light of the new evidence, the medical examiner recanted her testimony and stated that the murder occurred several days after April 3, again exonerating Cell. Even more disturbing, prosecutors withheld a taped telephone conversation in which the state’s star witness, an admitted accomplice, alluded to Cell’s innocence and discussed how she must “make up” a story for the police. Attorney General Roy Cooper has only granted a retrial and has not even sent those prosecutors to the state bar for discipline despite acknowledging their “negligence.” Cell’s retrial date has not been announced and he waits in prison, “frustrated” with a legal system that has failed him. A human system will naturally involve error, but numerous cases bring to light similar violations and injustice. Charles Munsey was on death row for killing a woman in 1993. No physical evidence tied him to the scene of the crime. The prosecutor’s only witness was Timothy Hall, an inmate who said Munsey confessed to him at Raleigh’s Central Prison. Evidence has since been revealed that Hall never served time in Central Prison and therefore could never have met Munsey! In fact, Munsey was stunned to see Hall take the stand in his trial because he had never seen him before. Prosecutors seemingly fabricated the confession. Munsey, who had always professed his innocence, died in prison of lung cancer awaiting his appeal. Donald Scanlon is sentenced to die for murdering a woman in 1996. Again, no physical evidence tied the defendant to the scene of the crime and there was even no evidence that there was a struggle. In fact, a great deal of evidence points to the victim’s suicide, including the victim’s 20-year battle with anxiety and depression, failing health due to a heart condition, and cocaine addiction. But the prosecution concealed such evidence and courtappointed defense attorneys were horribly incompetent,

rarely pursuing leads or checking facts. Scanlon remains on death row. Kenneth Rouse is on death row for a 1991 robbery, attempted rape, and murder. This case shows how racial prejudice inhibits the system from equitable justice. Rouse is an African-American man. The district attorney dismissed all jurors ofcolor before the trial, so he faced an all-white jury. After the trial, one of the jurors declared that he convicted Rouse because of racial bias. He frequendy referred to Rouse as a “n—-and stated that, “black men rape white women so they can brag to their friends.” Sadly, Rouse also consistendy tests as mildly mentally retarded, but appellate courts refuse to interfere and overturn the death sentence despite state and federal law prohibiting the execution of the mentally retarded. Eddie Hartman faces execution for the 1993 shooting death of his roommate and friend while he was heavily inebriated. The murder trial was not a traditional death row case, because the crime was neither heinous nor premeditated. There are thousands of murder cases ending in life sentences similar to this one, yet Eddie Hartman was singled out because he was gay. The prosecutor illegitimately and disturbingly used Hartman’s homosexuality during the sentencing phase to tap into jurors’ homophobia. Most disturbing, the prosecutor used Hartman’s homosexuality to downplay the sexual abuse he suffered as a child from his uncle and stepbrother when he was 8 and 11. And evidence gathered after the trial shows that jurors believed the prosecutor’s claim that the sexual abuse was dismissable because Hartman was gay. Moreover, Hartman was also represented by an incompetent attorney that has since been suspended by the North Carolina Bar. If Hartman does not receive clemency from Governor Easely soon, the state will probably execute him this fall. A man shouldn’t be singled out because of his sexual orientation. Many more cases involve similarviolations ofhuman rights and justice, including those of Travis Walters, Henry Hunt, Kenneth Neal, and Levon Jones. If you’re going to have the death penalty, you better do it right. Write Governor Easely and your legislators asking for a moratorium on executions so we can properly address fixing this broken system. Amir Mokari is a Trinity junior. His column third week.
