Administrators announced a

policy last week that will limit in-

dividuals’ bandwidth usage in order to speed up network service for students on the residential student network.

The policy, which should go into effect some time next week, will limit computers on ResNet from sending more than five gigabytes of data off campus per day.

Under a similar bandwidth cap imposed last November, the University limited bandwidth usage globally for residence halls. Now, usage will be monitored individually—a change inspired by the Office of Information Technology’s findings that 10 percent of the people on ResNet were using 90 percent of the available bandwidth.

Christopher Cramer, information technology security officer, said the new policy would affectfew students, at least initially.

‘The five-gigabyte threshold won’t even impact the whole 10 percent that was using most of the bandwidth before,” Cramer said.

“It may impact 50 to maybe 100

University caps ARAMARK put bandwidth use students at this moment in time, but that may change as everything else changes. If some people stop using so much bandwidth, other computers may pick up the slack.”

To put things in perspective, Cramer said five gigabytes is roughly the amount of data one DVD or eight CDs can hold. He added that it can cost around $3O per month to buy five gigabytes of bandwidth from a commercialized Internet service provider.

Cramer said the University’s new cap of five gigabytes per day should provide students with ample bandwidth to use the Internet comfortably. “It’s hard to come up with something that uses that much bandwidth,” he said.

Students who exceed the fivegigabyte daily limit will receive a warning from OIT letting them know they are using too much bandwidth. OIT will also provide information on how to reduce personal bandwidth usage and will help students get in touch with the appropriate officials to petition for more bandwidth.

After a major renovation of the Great Hall this summer, the eatery’s management is facing high expectations from the University—what Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst called an “acid test.”

ARAMARK Corp. is in the third year of its contract to manage the Great Hall and several other on-campus eateries. Wulforst said the company was hired to train employees and upgrade service, and while he said there is “no immediate question mark” about the company being retained, he added that the recent renovation put an onus for improvement on ARAMARK “I’ve done everything I can for you guys,” Wulforst said of the company. “You can’t just say [the Great Ha 11 is] old and broken-down.”

ARAMARK Regional Manager David Randolph said he was conscious of the additional pressure to live up to the high standards of a renovated Great Hall.

“There’s certainly more pressure from employees [and] customers to live up,” Randolph said. “We’ve raised the bar and it needed to be raised. Now the SEE ARAMARK ON PAGE 8

In addition, Cafe Parizade and Jimmy John’s both decided to not renew their contracts, while Cinelli’s and Torero’s have joined the Merchants on Points program.

Biederman cited contract violations, slow delivery and poor quality food as the reasons for removing La Fonte and Wild Bull’s from the list.

After months of heated debate and negotiations with various neighborhood associations in Durham, the unanimous approval of the University’s rezoning plans by the City-County Zoning Committee Tuesday night has propelled the University one step closer to realizing its campus overhaul.

Although the Zoning Committee voted 5-0 in favor of the plans, the City Council will not cast the final vote on the rezoning plans until late October or early November.

John Schelp and Tom Miller, representatives of the neighborhood associations through the entire rezoning process, said they were satisfied with the City-County’s votes.

Twin RISHON LETZION, Israel Palestinian suicide bombings —one at a bus stop crowded with soldiers near Tel Aviv, the second five hours later at a popular Jerusalem nightspot—killed at least 14 Israelis and wounded and maimed dozens as the region grappled with a new wave of savage bloodletting.

There were no claims of responsibility, but the Islamic militant group Hamas, which has carried out most of the roughly 100 suicide bombings against Israelis over the last three years, had been expected to avenge Is-

rael’s attempt on the life of its spiritual leader Saturday.

Israel’s military has relentlessly targeted Hamas militants since the group claimed a suicide bombing last month that killed 22 people on a Jerusalem bus. Earlier Tuesday, Israeli troops in Hebron killed two Hamas members including the group’s leader in the West Bank town —and a 12-year-old bystander and blew up a seven-story apartment building where the militants were hiding out.

The day’s violence underscored the collapse of U.S.-backed peace efforts and came amid political uncertainty after the resignation of Palestinian —

The Boston Archdiocese agreed Tuesday to BOSTON million to 552 people who claim sexual abuse by $B5 pay Roman Catholic priests devastated their lives, giving victims long-awaited recognition of their pain and the U.S. church a chance to move forward from its worst scandal ever.

The deal is the largest publicly disclosed payout by a U.S. diocese to settle molestation charges.

Under the agreement, victims will receive awards ranging from $BO,OOO to $300,000. Award amounts will be decided by a mediator, based on the type of molestation, the duration of the abuse, and the injury suffered.

Parents who filed lawsuits claiming their children were abused will receive $20,000.

Blue light phones get disability upgrade Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

by

They are big, they are blue and they are often touted on admissions office tours as symbols of the University’s campus security. Blue light phones are a highly visible campus crime prevention measure, but not everyone can use them because they lack appropriate features for the disabled.

Changes will soon ensure these phones are accessible to everyone in the community, by providing increased accommodations for students, faculty and the public with disabilities. Additionally, software will be installed to guarantee that each blue light phone line is working properly in a move to increase reliability for students.

Changes to the blue light phones include curb ramps, surface modifications for individuals in wheelchairs and adjustments to the emergency alert system to accommodate people with low vision or

hearing impairments.

“The reason for the technology upgrade is two fold,” said Shawn Flaugher, crime prevention specialist for the Duke

University Police Department. “We need to comply with the [Americans with Disabilities Act] guidelines [and] we’re trying to install software safeguards to check the [phone line] connections and help serve students.”

Director of the Women’s Center Donna Lisker said the blue light phones in general are helpful tools in maintaining student safety on campus as one component of a safety program.

“I think they are useful as one part of a

larger security plan,” Lisker said. “However, I think by themselves they are not going to cut it. We need to think about our security more broadly so that blue light phones can be a last resort.”

As part of a compliance settlement with the Department of Justice from a February 2000 lawsuit, the University has been implementing a five-year program to make the campus more accessible. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act requires universities and other public institutions to provide appropriate access and services for individuals with disabilities.

“The general rule is that we want to make sure that individuals with disabilities have access to the same type of services that folks without disabilities do,” said Mary Thomas, director of the disability management systems. “[As] the University provides these safety phones, we wanted to make sure our phones are accessible for people with disabilities.”

She added that many other schools are also dealing with these issues are looking at Duke as a role model as how to comply with these rules. “Our ultimate goal is that we want to make our university a welcoming place to all individuals,” Thomas said.

Sophomore Shannon Kunath said she appreciates the growing blue light presence on campus.

“I think there have been times, especially in the Blue Zone, because you are so far out there, that at least at night, if you ever felt threatened or in case of an emergency, I’ve been really glad they are there,” she said.

Other candidates expressed similar sentiments about the way DSG ran the election.

“I thought it went very smoothly,” said West Campus senator Russ Ferguson, who was an East Campus legislator last year.

Voter turn-out was lower than last year, with 1,757 confirmed student voters as compared to last year’s 1,800 voters. Executive Vice President Cliff Davison said that there were no direct factors for the minor slip in the number of voters, but attributed the drop to a variety of relative circumstances.

“I think it was something conditional,” Davison said. “It could be due to the fact that it was an overcast day or people could have simply forgotten, nothing significant.”

Health&S cience Hope fading, patients turn to bone marrow transplants by

Malavika Prabhu THE CHRONICLE

Bone marrow transplants are usually reserved as a lastresort for cancer.

For Mike Keener and Muthu Kumar, two patients at Duke’s Adult Bone Marrow Transplant and Stem Cell Transplant clinic, transplants meant sacrificing their work and family life for a treatment that was not guaranteed to ameliorate their condition.

Today, they’re glad they took the risk.

Already having beaten cancer once, 52-year-old Keener went in for his annual physical four years ago, only to find out that his battle was not yet over. In 1999, he was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a bone-marrow cancer in which too many white blood cells are produced.

“I’d busted through three years on the previous cancer and to come to find out you’ve got leukemia...” Keener said, trailing off.

“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired,” he added.

Keener connected with patients and doctors from all over the country in order to educate himself on all the options available for his condition. He became interested in one less conventional treatment, the mini-allogeneic transplant, which boasted the potential of a long remission or even a cure.

The prospects for such a treatment, however, were unlikely, doctors told Keener, as they concluded he was not a candidate for the grueling transplant. He was too old and the risk of damage to his liver, lungs and other organs was too great.

“The window for treating leukemias and lymphomas is incredibly small,” said Dr. Nelson Chao, director of the

procedure.

Adult Bone Marrow Transplant and Stem Cell Transplant Program. “Generally, transplants are only offered to younger patients.”

In spite of the odds, Keener had no intention of giving up, his wife Michelle said.

“Sometimes you just have to say no to doctors,” said Mike Keener, who turned down a Charlotte-based oncologist and a Chapel Hill doctor, who had both suggested limited treatments involving chemotherapy.

DSG unveils virtual Kiosk Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

by

Tired of the brown huts littered with flyers?

Students live in an increasingly paperless world, where homework assignments, schedules and even books are accessible at the click of a mouse. Students searching for the latest club meeting time or party information, however, still need to scan the local bulletin board.

A Duke Student Government website called ‘The Kiosk” hopes to change all of that.

Club members and event organizers will now be able to save time and money usually spent posting pesky flyers around campus locations, many times only to have such announcements quickly torn down or covered up. Following the recent campus trend of paper-saving techniques, DSG is coming to students’ aid by offering the chance to publish their flyers or announcements online.

To publish a flyer online, students simply need to email a copy of it to The Kiosk by 5 p.m. Wednesday each week. With a two-day turnaround, DSG staff will post flyers online, where the public can view The Kiosk at

www.dsg.duke.edu/kiosk.

DSG Executive Vice President Cliff Davison said last year, former DSG legislator Linda Arnade initiated the project in hopes of filling the void created by the flyer policy. “[The flyering policy] really created a damper for student organizations to advertise cheaply,” Davison said.

DSG officials also noted the various logistical and environmental benefits of the program.

“I really hope this will reduce all the paper that is printed out for flyers, because it keeps everything in a central place. It also will reduce the amount of work that the housekeeping staff has to do and provide an equal opportunity for people’s flyers to be seen,” said Eileen Kuo, director of internal computing for DSG. Elizabeth Dixon, vice president of student affairs, is looking forward to adding and adapting the website to better serve students’ needs.

“In the future we’re looking to expand on this website and provide more services for students,” she said.

Student group leaders are skeptical about the visibility that The Kiosk would provide, but remained hopeful.

“We definitely spend a lot of time and energy flyering,” said Community Service Center Co-Director Tori Hogan.

‘We’ll have to be certain that students will access the site, but overall we’d be more than happy to participate.”

Since his points service ended, delivery business has dropped off by 50 percent, he said. “[DUSDAC] told us that because the contract said we were not allowed to let students eat inside on points, and they don’t like that, they took it away from us,” Khoshnevis said. “A lot of students have called us, and they say they want to petition for us to be on points....

BONE MARROW from page 4 promising treatment options.

Doctors at the clinic believed it was possible to perform a bone marrow transplant procedure that would offer them the possibility of a longer-lasting treatment option than chemotherapy.

Recent advances in therapy procedures have allowed the pool of patients eligible for a transplant to increase and give more patients a second chance at life.

Although at its conception the procedure was riddled with spotty success, the risks involved in the transplant procedure have since been reduced as new drugs and therapy techniques continue to push the science further.

Less than six years ago, 30 to 40 percent of patients with CLL like that ofKeener’s died from this transplant, but the mortality rate associated with the procedure is now less than 10 percent, said Dr. David Rizzieri, Keener’s physician.

community drove the decision to stop delivering on points, and that they hope to reapply to DUSDAC in the future.

“This is really for the students’ benefit,” he said. “[DUSDAC] thought it was pretty admirable that we’re taking a hit in sales to better our store.”

Cafe Parizade,-meanwhile, was not benefiting enough from delivering on points to justifyremaining on the list, manager Igor Gacina said. The same company owns both Parizade and George’s Garage, which is still a Merchant on Points.

The two additions to the Merchants on Points list, Cinelli’s and Torero’s, are both establishments that students have patronized since their openings.

“We tested [Torero’s] at the end of last semester and they did real well,” said Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst. ‘The students’ comments... have been positive, and the sales show that.”

Student feedback is an integral part of DUSDAC’s review process, but while the committee reviews each oncampus eating establishment every year, the process for Merchants on Points has been less formal previously, Biederman said.

“In the past, we’ve done interviews with students that have eaten at these places, done a standardized survey to find out about quality and speed,” he said. “In the future we’re going to continue that and we’ve started a process where we... can facilitate getting as much feedback as we can.”

Biederman added that the committee hopes to implement a more formal annual ranking system for Merchants on Points by the end of the year.

effects during his two-month hospital stay.. Keener described how his bones ached as though he had the flu and how he felt “crummy” during the first 25 days after transplantation.

Although Keener was lucky enough to not contract a post-operative virus, he has not yet experienced long lasting improvements.

However, Sept. 2—Day 42 in Keener’s eyes—was a good day for him. More alert than he was on day 17, when the drugs had altered his mood and slowed his thinking, he is now beginning to regain his energy and can finally sleep and eat full meals.

“Things are settling down, emotionally and physically,” he said during a trip to the clinic on the six-week anniversary of the transplant. ‘The nausea is gone.”

Keener’s fate, however, remains to be determined. He visits the clinic every day to have his blood counts monitored, in the hopes that his sister’s cells have taken root in his body.

Kumar was deemed a candidate for an autologous bone marrow transplant —the least risky procedure currently available to patients, in which the patient’s own stem cells are reintroduced once chemotherapy has eradicated all bone marrow.

When an opportunity for Keener to undergo the transplant materialized, one of his sisters eagerly agreed to suffer the debilitating procedure of having cells from her bone marrow harvested for him.

The actual transplantation, Keener described, was anticlimactic, a nonevent.

“I think you want to feel something happen,” he said, “but all that actually happens is they hang an IV bag on a pole and in half-an-hour, the treatment is over.”

Then, the waiting game began.

As the days following the procedure progressed, Kumar and Keener’s improvements, however, were markedly less than

what they told us it would be,” said Michelle Keener.

Keener said one of the hardest parts of cancer was sacrificing the joys of seeing his grandson, who is in daycare and therefore carries too many germs to visit him.

In spite of Keener’s daily struggle against the cancer, he maintains a positive, although realistic outlook on his prognosis and chances for recovery.

‘This time it’s been shaky. I’m just trying to take it a day at a time,” he said. “We don t look too much beyond tomorrow.”

Despite his undergoing treatment, Keener said he has about five years to live.

The outlook for Kumar is more optimistic. As ofJanuary 2003, he has regained all his energy, is no longer on medication and even found a new job two months ago.

“I had almost decided I wasn’t going to make it,” Kumar said. “But this BMT thing is a miracle—right now, I’m completely confident that I’ve been cured.”

ZONE from page 1 puses will be placed under a new university-college district, with stricter preservation guidelines, while providing more restructuring flexibility within and between University campuses.

More specifically, Duke will have a large degree of architectural freedom to build on its interior properly, said Senior Vice President for Public and Government Relations John Bum ess.

Zoning proposals will not be required, unless the University wants to build on the perimeter of the various campuses. With the exception of the planned building of a new dormitory, no new buildings will be allowed within 250 feet of the stone wall surrounding East Campus.

Parking decks will stricdy be forbidden to be built and no more than 100 additional parking spaces can be squeezed onto East Campus. Further, future buildings on East must be no taller than Baldwin Auditorium. The Medical Center, currently considered residential zoning, will fall under University zoning regulations, allowing for additions to be made with fewer delays.

Overall, negotiations went smoothly between the University and zoning officials.

“I really appreciate the effort Duke made toward the neighborhood and the development plan.” said Jackie Brown, a member of the Durham Zoning Board.

Nonetheless, the unanimous vote at Tuesday’s meeting proves somewhat misleading. Smooth negotiations between the University and the neighborhood were not always as easy to come by. The vote was preceded by a month of intense debate with various neighborhood associations.

“We went through a pretty elaborate process and coundess meetings with the [representatives of the neighborhoods],” Burness said.

One of the important sticking points in the rezoning development plan was their adamant opposition to the possibility of the University building an eight-foot security fence on top of the wall surrounding East. “[The fence] took on an enormous symbolic importance to the neighborhoods around East Campus,” Bumess said, noting, however, that the University has no plans of building a fence.

Neighborhood representatives wanted a formal promise from the University to never build such a fence—a demand University trustees were not willing to accept.

In a letter to the 12 presidents of the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative neighborhood associations, President Nan Keohane wrote “committing never to do something, w0u1d..., limit the decisions offuture Duke presidents and trustees to ensure the safety of our students when circumstances may be very different from today. The University’s trustees and 1... are committed to building bridges, not fences.”

Still, the fence issue required extensive deliberationand the development plan that passed the City-County Zoning Committee last night included a pledge to notify Durham neighbors if such a wall was ever seriously considered.

“We walked through different issues and I think that both sides were working very hard to find a win win situation,” Burness said. “And we reached an agreement on about 90 percent of them.”

BANDWIDTH users, for example, may need additional bandwidth for their

academic research.

If students ignore the five-gigabyte limit, their available bandwidth will be cut back to 64 kilobits per second.

“The proposal from Duke Student Government was that we should give students a warning before cutting back their bandwidth,” Cramer said. “But if they receive five warnings, then we will limit their outbound bandwidth to essentially a very fast modem.”

The new policy —announced by Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer, and Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs—resulted from a DSG initiative to combat bandwidth congestion, which many students complained was causing serious slowdowns in network speed and compromising ResNet’s ability to fulfill academic and communications purposes.

Cramer stressed that the new cap applies only to data being transmitted to the Internet and will not impact in-

bound bandwidth at this time The University’s new bandwidth policy comes at a time when concerns about peer-to-peer file sharing is on many students’ minds. The Recording Industry Association of American sued hundreds of students Monday for sharing large amounts of copyrighted material —a practice that often uses a substantial amount of bandwidth.

‘The way the network works now, there’s a fixed amount ofbandwidth available for Res Net, and it’s application insensitive,” said Robert Currier, director of information technology. “If we get rid of really big bandwidth consumers, such as peer-to-peer users, then there will be more available for other things, and there would be a significant improvement in the way people feel the network is operating.”

Cramer noted that, compared to other comparable universities such as Princeton University, Duke allows its students far more bandwidth.

“Some other universities only give between 50 and 70 megabits per second to their dorms, while Duke’s outbound capacity is 100 megabits per second,” Cramer said.

“Plus we don’t have a cap on inbound data.”

Great Hall has the look and feel of Duke.”

In terms of sales, the eatery is off to a blazing start.

Students have praised the greater variety offood choices and more navigable servery, and Randolph estimated a 20 percent sales Jump from last year with only a 2.5 percent to 3 percent price increase and constant enrollment.

‘That’s phenomenal,” Randolph said, adding that last Thursday the Great Hall made about $15,000 in sales—which he said was the most he had ever seen in a single day. Both Wulforst and Randolph said they thought the improvement was both sustainable and was not detracting from other on-campus eateries.

More pressing for ARAMARK, however, is employee training, whichWulforst said had been traditionally lacking among food service workers. The company was brought on in part to reduce the number of employees for whom it was all about “just dishing out food,” Wulforst said, and the Local 77 union supported ARAMARK’s arrival at the University.

While admitting that ARAMARK has a long way to go in its training efforts, Randolph said several steps have already been taken to improve employee training, and more are in the works. For example, beginning this summer, ARAMARK has required a brief culinary training course for all cooks to go over such safety basics as knifehandling procedure. Also, at one point this fall, the Great Hall opened earlier than usual so employees could go over each station in the new servery.

As far as the student experience goes, reviews for the Great Hall employees have been mixed. Some students, such as sophomore Jay McKenna, said employees seemed “nicer” this year. Others, like sophomore Erin Walker, said they noticed longer lines.

For Wulforst, a tour of U.S. Air Force bases abroad last year has inspired him to undertake a hard-nosed look at each on-campus eatery, beginning this week. His goal, he said, is to identify the best vendors and reward them with financial incentives, and remove those eateries with a combination of marginal customer service ratings and negative profit margins.

“I will not keep vendors on campus that do not take my expectations seriously,” he said. A formal review from his evaluations will be available in the fall and the spring.

Cpl. Eyal Schneider, 20, was walking toward the bus stop when he heard the ex-

plosion and saw a fireball. “People were

running from the bus stop shouting ‘Bomb! Bomb!”’ he said.

Ambulances from nearby Assaf Harofeh hospital quickly lined up at the scene, rescue workers rushing to aid screaming victims.

“I saw the bodies, the body parts strewn around, heard the screams, and tried to help,” said one witness, who gave his name only as Roy. Police and hospital officials said eight were killed in addition to the bomber. Fifteen people were being treated at the hospital, all but one of the soldiers, spokesperson Nurit Nehemia said. Oth-

of the bus shelter remained splattered with blood.

Leaders of Hamas praised the attacks but stopped short of claiming responsibility. ‘This operation, whoever is behind it, is a natural reaction for the bloody aggression against our people,” said Hamas spokesperson Abdel Aziz Rantisi, who survived an Israeli attempt on his life in June.

Israeli government spokesperson Avi Pazner said “the responsibility is shared between the organization that carried out the atrocity and the Palestinian Authority that did nothing to prevent it, and Israel will react

accordingly.”

More than five hours later, about 11:20 p.m., another suicide bomber entered the Hillel Cafe, a popular bistro in

CLERGY from page 2 The church also will provide for psychological counseling for victims for as long as they want it and will put some victims on advisory boards monitoring the abuse problem.

Boston’s new archbishop, Sean O’Malley, was in Washington at a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as the deal was struck but sat in on critical negotiations over the weekend.

“It’s a good day for the archdiocese,” said his spokesperson, the Rev. Christopher Coyne. ‘We haven’t had too many over the last couple ofyears, but this is one.”

The archdiocese also released a statement saying in part that it is “committed to doing everything humanly possible to make sure that this never occurs again. Our prayer is that this may, with the help of God, become a reality.”

Coyne said the church is still looking for ways to finance the settlement. Possible revenue sources include selling off surplus property and suing the archdiocese’s insurance carriers.

The deal came about a month after the archdiocese put

the posh German colony neighborhood of Jerusalem.

Police said the bomber managed to get into the cafe even though two security guards were posted at the entrance —one inside the door and one outside. Jerusalem police commander Mickey Levy told Israel Radio that one of the guards saw the bomber and tried to stop him, and that he then set off the bomb.

At least six other people were killed and more than 30 were wounded, rescue workers said.

“I have a store next to the cafe. I arrived just a few moments after the blast. I saw things that just can’t be described, there are no words,” said a witness who identified himself only as Shavi.

The blast set off the siren alarms of dozens of parked cars nearby. Police were

a $55 million offer on the table. Plaintiffs’ lawyers had asked for as much as $l2O million. Attorneys for the two sides and O’Malley, considered a steady but forceful voice in the negotiations, met in a lengthy session Sunday that stretched into Monday morning.

Roderick MacLeish Jr., a lawyer with the firm that represents nearly half of the alleged victims, said the $B5 million offer was accepted after considering the archdiocese’s financial condition and the additional stress a trial would put on victims.

“There comes a point where they (the archdiocese) just financially can’t do anything anymore,” MacLeish said. “We could continue in litigation with the archdiocese for years and years and years, but would there be positive results?”

Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the national bishops’ conference, said the deal “demonstrates that the church is committed to working out just settlements.”

A resolution had been elusive since the scandal exploded in January 2002 with the release of court documents in the case of the Rev. John Geoghan, who church leaders moved from parish to parish despite evidence he

In one Gaza neighborhood, Palestinians fired assault rifles in the air and scores took to the streets in celebration after the attack on the cafe. In the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, some Hamas supporters celebrated by distributing candies to the families of those killed in previous violence.

The attacks came as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was away on a visit to India aimed at cementing the two countries’ strategically important relations. Militants have frequently carried out terror attacks during Sharon’s visits abroad—occasionally causing him to cut trips short.

had molested children Allegations against dozens of other priests soon came to light, and hundreds of lawsuits were filed against the archdiocese.

Priest personnel files, made public because of the suits, held shocking allegations: that a priest pulled boys out of religious classes and raped them in a confessional; that another fathered two children and left the children’s mother alone as she overdosed; that another seduced girls studying to become nuns by telling them he was “the second coming of Christ.”

The crisis put every U.S. diocese under new scrutiny.

Because of molestation claims, at least 325 ofAmerica’s 46,000 priests were removed from duty or resigned in the year following the Geoghan case. And Cardinal Bernard Law resigned as Boston archbishop in December, giving up his post as spiritual leader to 2.1 million Catholics because of his mishandling of abuse cases.

Stephen Pope, a theology professor at Boston College, predicted it will take a generation before the church recovers from the scandal. But he said the settlement may help restore confidence among Catholics. j

What Is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a form of birth control that is given as an intramuscular injection (a shot) in the buttock or upper arm once every 3 months (13 weeks). To continue your contraceptive protection, you must return for your next injection promptly at the end of 3 months (13 weeks). DEPO-PROVERA contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a chemical similar to (but not the same as) the natural hormone progesterone, which is produced by your ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle. DEPO-PROVERA acts by preventing your egg cells from ripening. If an egg is not released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle, it cannot become fertilized, by sperm and result in pregnancy, DEPO-PROVERA also causes changes in the lining of your uterus that make it less likely for pregnancy to occur.

How effective is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

The efficacy of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection depends on following the recommended dosage schedule exactly (see "How often do I get my shot of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?"). To make sure you are not pregnant when you first get DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection, your first injection must be given ONLY dunng the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period: ONLY within the first 5 days after childbirth if not breast-feeding; and, if exclusively breast-feeding, ONLY at the sixth week after childbirth. It is a long-term injectable contraceptive when administered at 3-month (13-week) intervals.

DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is over 99% effective, making it one ofthe most reliable methods of birth control available. This means that the average annuaf pregnancy rate is less than one for every 100 women who use DEPO-PROVERA The effectiveness of most contraceptive methods depends in part on how reliably each woman uses the method. The effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA depends only on the patient returning every 3 months (13 weeks) for her next injection. Your health-care provider will help you compare DEPO-PROVERA with other contraceptive methods and give you the information you need in order to decide which contraceptive method is the nght choice for you.

Because DEPO-PROVERA is a long-acting birth control method, it takes some time after your last injection forits effect to wear off. Biased on the results from a large study done in the United States, for women who stop using DEPO-PROVERA in order to become pregnant it is expected that about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 10months after their last injection; about two thirds of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months; about 83% of thosewho become pregnant will do so in about 15months; and about 93% of those who become The following table shows the percent of women who got pregnant while using different kinds of pregnant will do so in about months after their last injection.

The side effect reported most frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for contraception is a change in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using Percent of Women Experiencing an Accidental Pregnancy DEPO-PROVERA, you might have one or more of the following changes: irregular or In the First Year of Continuous Use unpredictable bleeding or spotting an increase or decrease in menstrual bleeding, or no bleeding at all.

With continued use of DEPO-PROVERA. bleeding usually decreases, and many women stop having (Deriods completely.

In clinical studies of DErO-PROVERA, 55% of the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding (amenorrhea) after I year ofuse, and 68% ofthe women studied reported no menstrual bleeding after 2 years of use. The reason that your periods stop is because DEPO-PROVERA causes a resting state in your ovaries. When your ovaries do not release an egg monthly, the Oral contraceptive (pill) regular monthly growth of the lining of your uterus does not occur and, therefore, the bleeding that comes with your normal menstruation does not take place. When you stop using Combined DEPO-PROVERA your menstrual period will usually, in time, return to its normal cycle.

2.other Side Effects

In a clinical study of over 3,900 women who used DEPO-PROVERA for up to 7 years, some women reported the following effects that may or may not have been related to their use of DEPO-PROVERA: Irregular menstrual bleeding, amenorrhea, headache, nervousness, abdominal cramps, dizziness, weakness or fatigue, decreased sexual desire, leg cramps, nausea, vaginal discharge or irritation, breast swelling and tenderness, bloating, swelling of the hands or feet, backache, depression, insomnia, acne, pelvic pain, no hair growth or excessive hair loss, rash, hot flashes, and joint pain. Other problems were reported by very few of the women in the clinical trials, but some of these could be serious. These include convulsions, jaundice, urinary tract infections, allergic reactions, fainting, paralysis, osteoporosis, lack of return to fertility, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, breast cancer or cervical cancer If these or any other problems occur during your use of DEPO-PROVERA, discuss them with your health-care provider.

Should any precautions be followed during use of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

I Missed Periods During the time you are using DEPO-PROVERA forcontraception, you may skip a period, or your periods may stop completely. If you have been receiving your DEPO-PROVERA injections regularly every 3 months (1 3 weeks), then you are probably not pregnant However if you think that you may be pregnant see your health-care provider

2.Laboratoty Test Interactions scheduled for any laboratory tests, tell your health-care provider that you are using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception. Certain blood tests are affected by hormones such as DEPO-PROVERA J.Da/g Interactions Cytadren (aminoglutethimide) is an anticancer drug that may significantly decrease the effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA ifthe two drugs are given during the same time.

4.Nursing Mothers Although DEPO-PROVERA can be passed to the nursing infant in the breast milk, no harmful effects nave been found in these children. DEPO-PROVERA does not prevent the breasts from producing milk, so it can be used by nursing mothers. However to minimize the amount of DEPO-PROVERA that is passed to the infant in the first weeks after birth, you should wait until 6 weeks after childbirth before you start using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception.

How often do I get my shot of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?

The recommended dose ofDEPO-PROVERA is mg every 3 months (13 weeks) given in a single intramuscular injection in the buttock or upper150 arm. To make sure that you are not pregnant at the time of the first injection,it is essential that the injection be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period. If used following the delivery of a child, the first injection of DEPO-PROVERA MUST be given within 5 days after childbirth if you are not breast-feeding or 6 weeks after childbirth if you are exclusively breast-feeding. If you wait longer than 3 months (1 3 weeks) between injections, or longer than 6 weeksafter delivery, your health-care provider should determine that you are not pregnant before giving you your injection of If you are

Because DEPO-PROVERA is such an effective contraceptive method, the risk of accidental pregnancy for women who get their shots regularly (every 3 months [l3 weeks]) is very low.

While there have been reports ofan increased risk oflow birth weight and neonatal infant death or otherhealth problems in infants conceived close to the time of injection, such pregnancies are uncommon. If you think you may have become pregnant while using DEPO-PROVERA for Rx only contraception, see your health-care provider as soon as possible. sA«emc Reactions Some women using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection have reported severe and

allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis and

WASHINGTON and LANDOVER, Md How awesome is NFL kick-off week?

For those of you unfamiliar with the NFL’s newest marketing scheme, every season a city is selected to host the first regular season game of the year on the Thursday preceding the first official Sunday of professional football season.

The entire week is filled with special events for the fans, including a free concert which is televised nationally an hour before kick-off.

The concept was first put into practice in NewYork City for the 2002 season, and then switched venues to Washington D.C. for the Redskins-Jets game September 4th this year.

Coming from a family that has owned Redskins season tickets for multiple generations, I decided to make the four hour drive with my roommate to see if the event was worth the hype.

It certainly was.

Driving into Tyson’s Corner Mall in Fairfax County, Va., to meet up with Robert “The Tank” Samuel, Sr., and Robert “The Tank” Samuel, Jr., 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” began to play on D.C.’s rap station 93.9 WKYS. There was nothing notable about this occurrence until instead of the usual “You can find me in the club, bottle full ofbub” being the refrain, a different, unknown, yet talented rapper declared “You can find me in the Fed, whoopin’ on the Jets.” In one of the funniest parodies I’ve ever heard, several rappers effortlessly made witty remarks such as “We about to have the all-time sack leader Bruce Smith/ Put Pennington in and he’ll break his other wrist.”

The song reminded me of how much of a football town Washington is. Despite only one post-season appearance in the past 10 years, each of the 80,116 seats in the Redskins’ stadium, the biggest stadium in the NFL, belongs to a season ticket owner. Unlike many cities which scoff at their teams in hard times, the nation’s capital continues to cherish its football team, making it the perfect place to hold NFL kick-off week.

The Blue Devils drowned a boatEast Carolina load of Pirates last night at the women’s volleyball game.

Cameron Indoor Stadium jumped last night as Duke (4-3) took out a largely successful Eastern Carolina (6-2) team in three straight games.

“We’ve been working really hard in practice this week,” said Krista Dill, who finished with another outstanding tally of 17 kills.

‘We knew we had to prepare for this weekend’s tournament. The key words in practices were ‘intensity’ and ‘consistency.’”

Those concepts were undeniably the backbone of the Blue Devils’ success against the Pirates. For the first time this season, Duke’s playing was intense for all three games which allowed them to build steadily on its

The Blue Devils started off strong with a

close-to-impenetrable defense and accurate digs.

From Staff Reports The women’s soccer and field hockey teams came into 2003 with lofty expectations. Thus far, that confidence has been warranted.

Propelled by a win over perennial contender Texas, the Blue Devils—whose Katie Seibert was named to the Elite Team of the Week—have reached the No. 6 slot in soccerbuzz.com’s most recent poll. They are eclipsed by just one other ACC school—No. 1 North Carolina.

The pollsters aren’t quite as impressed with Duke in the coaches’ poll (NSCAA), where coach Robbie Church’s squad is ranked No. 10; or in the SoccerAmerica.com poll, which has Duke in the No. 20 slot.

Meanwhile, the field hockey team has been as dominant as advertised, crushing four opponents by the combined score of 27-0. Granted, Duke is yet to take on a team ranked in the top 20, but the statistic is impressive nonetheless.

The pristine record will come under severe pressure this weekend, when the defending national champions,. No. 1 Wake Forest, come to Durham for an ACC showdown. Indeed, the ACC is overflowing with talent, as four of the top-5 teams hail from the five-team league (North Carolina is No. 2, Maryland is No. 3 and Virginia is No. 15).

Clarett charged, Bucks ready to sever all ties by

Rusty

Miller

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio Maurice Clarett was charged Tuesday with lying about items stolen from his car, and

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said the school is ready to cut ties with the star running back.

Clarett was charged with misdemeanor falsification, city attorney spokesman Scott Varner said. If convicted, Clarett would face up to six months in jail and a $l,OOO fine. But probation is likely the harshest sentence a judge would impose, city prosecutor Stephen Mclntosh said.

Tressel said he does not expect Clarett to return this season to the defending national champion Buckeyes. He would recommend thatClarett be released from his scholarship if the request was made by Clarett, the coach said.

Clarett has already been suspended indefinitely from the team, and probably will not play for the Buckeyes this season. He is also being investigated by the NCAA. Tressel was asked if it was time for Clarett to move on “I think that he needs to make, along with his family, whatever decision he thinks is best for him,” Tressel said.

If Clarett’s career at Ohio State is over, the running back’s last carry would rank among the most memorable in school history. He scored on a 5-yard run in the second overtime in a 31-24 victory over Miami in the Fiesta Bowl, giving the Buckeyes their first national championship in 34 years.

Alan C. Milstein, the Clarett family attorney, said he wasn’t surprised by Tressel’s comments or the misdemeanor charge.

“Nothing Ohio State does surprises me,” he said. “I don’t think the family recognizes what Ohio State’s actions and motivations are, either.”

Milstein declined to comment on whether Clarett would consider transferring.

If Clarett transferred to another Division I-A school, he would have to sit out a year in addition to any suspension or ineligibility handed down by the NCAA. He could transfer to a Division I-AA, II or 111 and be immediately eligible to play, but any possible penalties would also pertain.

NCAA spokeswoman Kay Hawes would not speak about the Clarett case, but did say that if a suspended or ineligible player transferred, the athlete’s new school would first have to declare him ineligible, and would then seek his reinstatement through the organization.

Ohio State has been working for more than two weeks on a response to “several pages” of allegations sent by the NCAA to the university.

Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger wouldn’t comment Tuesday on the progress of the response, and said he didn’t know when it would be finished.

Hawes said the NCAA had not received Ohio State’s formal response.

Ohio State and the NCAA have been looking into Clarett’s finances since springtime. Clarett acknowledged earlier this summer that he filed an exaggerated theft report after his car was broken into in April. The car, a Chevrolet Monte Carlo, was borrowed from a local dealer.

Clarett said he lost more than $lO,OOO in items in the theft, including $BOO in cash, $3OO in clothing, hundreds of CDs and thousands of dollars in stereo equipment.

Clarett has until Oct. 10 to enter a plea and won’t have to appear in court to plead innocent, Mclntosh said. If he pleads guilty or no contest, he can be sentenced the same day.

The university does not have a set punishment for athletes charged with misdemeanors, Geiger said. The charge will not factor into the length of a suspension the university will recommend to the NCAA, he said.

Unrelated to the suspension, Clarett is also being investigated by an Ohio State panel looking into allegations of academic improprieties involving athletes.

Clarett set Ohio State freshman records last season with 1,237 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns.

Clarett’s mother, Michelle, did not return a phone message seeking comment on the charge. Former NFL star tailback Jim Brown, a family adviser, said he wasn’t aware of the charge and declined comment on it or Tressel’s statement.

10,2003

Deacon football thrives despite size limitations Despite its academic reputation and lack of tradition, Wake Forest is rolling by

David Droschak

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Chris Barclay has played a pivotal role in Wake Forest's wins over N.C. Stateand Boston College,

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. It’s been hard to take Wake Forest football seriously through the years.

One of the smallest Division I-A schools hasn’t had three consecutive winning seasons since the early 1950s and has won just 29 percent of its Atlantic Coast Conference games.

That’s all changed in just 26 games under Jim Grobe.

After 6-5 and 7-6 seasons, the former Ohio University coach has the Demon Deacons 20th in The Associated Press poll the program’s highest ranking in 24 years.

“It’s maybe a little bit of a shock that it’s happened so quickly,” Grobe said Tuesday. “I don’t think people expected us to get on a fast track after just three years here.

“But we’re still a rebuilding program right now. We’re probably a little bit ahead of schedule.”

It would be hard to convince some opponents that Grobe is rebuilding.

“You know what, he’s got better players than people think he does,” North Carolina State coach Chuck Amato said.

It’s been a fun two days for Grobe since picking up the paper Monday morning and seeing Wake Forest in print in the top 25.

“I really can’t go anywhere right now without people saying congratulations,” Grobe said. “A lot of people aren’t necessarily Wake Forest people but they're Winston-Salem people and they appreciate seeing a local school do well. You can generally tell the Wake Forest fans because they can’t stop thanking you.”

Grobe has spent a few spare moments clearing his answering machine of messages from well-wishers.

“It’s kind of fun,” he said. ‘You hear from people you haven’t heard from in quite a while tell you how excited they are for you. It’s kind of cool.

“And it must make Wake Forest fans and alums really feel a sense of accomplishment to see this in football. We’ve

kind of gotten used to it in other sports to see ourselves ranked highly. But in football, it’s special.”

The Demon Deacons (2-0) haven’t had a three-game winning streak since 1992, so Grobe won’t let his team get cocky with its new ranking and Purdue coming to town Saturday.

In fact, Grobe believed in the preseason his young team might start 0-3 with early games against Boston College, N.C. State and the Boilermakers.

“We weren’t dishonest with our football team,” Grobe said. “We told them no matter how we start it’s important to finish. We wanted to take our 12 best shots, get better and push through the season.”

So what has gone so right for his team in early September?

For the most part, the Demon Deacons have been error-free, gotten great play from new starting quarterback Cory Randolph and shown a grit that Grobe didn’t expect to see until maybe late October.

“There is a new attitude on the team that we can do great things,” star running back Chris Barclay said. “We can see the real potential we have. But now we have to show we deserve to be there and teams are going to challenge that.”

The players have gotten Grobe’s message about remaining focused and how fleeting success can be in college football.

“He’s told us when you think you’re almost ripe you’re just about rotten —just like fruit,” Barclay said. .

“I’m sure a lot of guys around the nation were saying, ’What’s going on?”’

Barclay said ofhis team’s ranking. “But just as fast as we’ve gotten in we can fall out even faster.”

Grobe was asked if his team would have a different attitude taking the field Saturday.

“We’re in trouble if we do,” he said.

“We’ve never taken anybody for granted and we’re in a little different role right now. We’ve got a target on our chest. Once you jump into the top 25, it becomes motivation for other teams.” “

VOLLEYBALL from page 11 even touch the ball After taking the first game 30-23, the Blue Devils ran away with the dominance they had worked so hard to establish.

Whereas in Duke’s last six matchups they had a tendency to ease up on a most grateful opponent, the Blue Devils were finally able to carry over their intensity from their first game to hand the Pirates an even more severe beating in the second game.

“Volleyball is a game of momentum,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “I was happy to see how we executed plays tonight.

We’ve been working a lot on focus and playing our game.”

There didn’t seem to be a place on the court where there was not a Duke defensive player. After the third service of the game, Eastern Carolina hit to four out of the six positions —the three back positions and a tip that landed in front of the attack line—and all four shots were gracefully recovered until the Blue Devils set-up Rufai for a kill.

The Pirates would not be given an opportunity to recover for the rest of the game. Duke pulled farther and farther away with aggressive attacks from freshmen Pixie Levanas and Nana Meriwether.

Levanas nailed five consecutive short serves from which Eastern Carolina could not recover, and took the score to game point. Dill and Hunkus, a wall-like duo up at the net, blocked the next to

BRITNEY from page 11 Grandpa Tank and Papa Tank inside of the famed mall, my roommate and I decided to forgo a car ride into the stadium in order to take the Metro into downtown to see the free concert on the National Mall, where Good Charlotte, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears and Aerosmith all performed.

Good Charlotte and MaryJ. Blige had already left the stage by the time we arrived at the metro station, but it didn’t matter, for Britney was the only motivation for our decision.

We had 45 minutes to make it through 12 stops and get through security, and being at least somewhat familiar with the Washington D.C. mass transportation sys-

Pirate attack to win the game 30-17.

“Neither [Hunkus nor Meriwether] are playing like freshmen,” Nagel stated.

“They’re both doing a good job of making big plays for us. Tealle came off the bench in the third game and got a kill right off the bat and then got a block to end the game. They’ve really impressed us. It’s hard for young players to come in and do that.”

Even Duke players who had not seen a lot of action this year were on. In the absence of most of their starters in the third game, the team’s second-string was able to hold its own—Eastern Carolina was never able to run away with a lead the way the Blue Devils had in the previous two games. For the Pirates, sophomores Pam Ferris and Erica Wilson were finally able to put down kills recording a match-total of seven and 12, respectively. Wilson had two especially crucial kills at the end of the game to push the teams into the thirties.

But Dill and Meriwether were able jumpstart Duke’s momentum again with Dill’s aggressive cross-court attacks—she had two kills at the end of the game —along with Hunkus, who finished the game as her coach described. The Blue Devils took the game 36-34 without having to re-enter their starting front-line attack.

Hunkus finished with an impressive total of 12 kills, heavily contributing to the Blue Devils’ final team-tally of 56 kills—2l more than Eastern Carolina.

Duke still has a long road ahead of them, beginning with a trip to Wisconsin tern, I thought this was an impossibility.

But the city, like the NFL event, rose to the occasion, and my roommate and I arrived on the lawn with plenty of time to spare.

And just when we thought it couldn’t be any better, Britney took off her pants in favor of shorts the size of a napkin.

After watching Britney shake her tailfeather for about 15 minutes, my roommate and I used the adrenaline rush to race onto the Metro again. Still maintaining order with massive amounts of people spilling into the subways, my roommate and I made it to the game mid-way

very competitive football game, ending with a game-winning Redskins field goal with five seconds left in the lb-13 Washington victory.

Many have criticized kick-off week, among them the renowned culture critic Tom Shales of The Washington Post, about the gross commercialization of the event. I have no counter-arguments to these people, only that NFL Kick-off week is not for persons with an Upper-East Side taste for things. It is for the common fans, the Tanks of the world. And for those people, NFL kick-off week is nothing short of awesome.

I am one of those people who gets angry at people who come to professional sporting events solely for socializing. It is obvious that these people know nothing about the teams playing and often don’t know anything about the sport, either.

These people annoy me to no end, and I wish they would just leave.

Well, I wish most of them would just leave.

What is it about professional sports games that make them magnets for attractive women? I mean they were everywhere: On the field, in the front row, in the concessions lines, in the club section and even in the nose-bleed sections.

Anyways, the game was great as well. It featured many patriotic interludes, as well as

THE CHRONICLE

The Chronicle

The Independent Daily at Duke University

Parking fees unfair to students As many football fans discovered this past weekend, University officials have found a new way to charge for i Vparking on campus. Under a new policy initiated this past weekend, there is now a $5 fee to park in the Blue Zone for football and basketball games, which, officials say, will cover the cost of extra police officers and traffic-direction workers hired to expedite the parking process. While making parking easier is a noble goal, students should not be charged additional fees beyond what they already pay for Blue Zone passes.

Transportation officials insist that the fee is in no way associated with revenue and is devoted 100 percent to cost-recovery for the extra workers. However, students who have already purchased a Blue Zone permit have spent hundreds of dollars for the right to park, and they should not be required to repurchase this right. In addition, the fee only applies to students and nonUniversity patrons—faculty and employees who already have campus passes are not subject to the $5 fee. If one group of permit-holders is required to pay, everyone should pay.

Further, the University should make an effort to make alternative parking available for those students who must move their cars during game days, as many students must stowe their vehicles in Durham itself, on back-roads or other unsafe locations. /\

DUMC to help fight terrorism

Chalk

another one up for the Medical Center. In addition to announcing a partnership with genetics pioneer Craig Venter over the summer, the DUMC recently received a $45 million grant from the government to research vaccines for emerging infectious diseases and biodefense. The grant, by far one of the largest ever received at Duke, will place DUMC researchers at the forefront of a project at the cutting edge of medicine and national security.

The only caveat associated with the grant is that the $45 million will be divided among five other regional universities, forming the Southeast Regional Center of Excellence for Emerging Infections and Biodefense. The researchers from SERCEB will communicate and share ideas and breakthroughs via e-mail, conferences and other mediums, coordinated largely by the director of Duke’s Human Vaccine Institute, Dr. Barton Haynes.

The decentralized nature of the SERCEB is cited by some as an asset, as it will allow multiple people to bring their varied experiences, methodologies, successes and failures to the table, increasing the chance of producing meaningful results.

However, this multiparty setup could also prove debilitating unless communication between the varied sites is consistent.

While the grant and the research it will fund is undoubtedly excidng, the community should not expect huge advancements right away. A vaccine usually takes many years to develop, and progress will likely proceed slowly and incrementally. If progress is made, DUMC can look forward to more grants in the future.

Letters to the Editor

Newman misses the mark on race Bridget Newman’s Sept. 3 column highlights some interesting observa-

tions about Duke culture, but goes too far in criticizing people who in fact share her objectives, merely prefering different solutions. By her metric, the majority of my black friends who oppose affirmative action are racists if not even uglier terms she probably heard at school —as are fans of Chris Rock, presumably regardless of color.

I find nothing shameful in a 3-yearold’s categorizing people by appearance, but even if you were to accept her self-deprecation, certainly pointing fingers is a singularly unproductive first step in addressing a complex issue.

Silly metrics aside, Newman does raise some legitimate complaints against the predominately white environment here, but ultimately the effect of every race’s habits must be considered when defining the problems at hand. I will not claim that segregating oneself among familiar peers is a bad thing, but I’d question a black student whose idea of experiencing Duke’s diversity was hanging out at the Mary Lou Williams center.

I refuse to frame this debate in black/white terms, however: I’d make the same argument against a Jewish student who always dines in Freeman —

Center, or to name something I’m guilty of, a music student who never leaves Biddle.

Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities here and elsewhere to sample different cultures; I have equally little sympathy for her proverbially uncomfortable white student.

Perhaps it will “always amaze” Newman how this Dukie spent his summer internship subordinate to entirely Indian bosses, surrounded by mostly Indian coworkers and thoroughly relished the experience.

Not Just for the cuisine, either.

I think experiences like these prove her closing dichtomy false: anyone with the intellect to succeed at Duke can recognize the value forming friendships, both within and across ethnic lines, without resorting to statistical justifications that only obscure the value of individual relationships.

Choosing friends solely to fulfill an agenda rooted in history best forgotten would be dishonest to both parties.

Even were she to generalize her argument to the institutional level, I’d disagree: Duke has a far greater responsibility to the disadvantaged people of today, regardless of race.

Duke Police punish good Samaritan As Duke’s social scene has been demolished, Duke’s administration, as well as the Duke University Police Department, have consistently claimed that the safety of the students remains the primary concern. Once again, the actions of individuals within these organizations prove contradictory.

This Saturday night, my four roommates and I had a social gathering at our house about a mile off of West Campus. Surprisingly, although a keg full of beer was present, we are happy to report that there was no sickness due to alcohol, no damaged property, no angry neighbors and no drunk drivers. It is this last point that caused trouble for one of our guests.

In an attempt to be responsible, one of our guests made certain that no individuals would operate a motor vehicle while under the influence.

For this purpose, she drove seven individuals back to campus in her car equipped for five. During this trip, she was pulled over and given a citation for having an overcrowded car at the entrance to East Campus.

While all actions thus far are undoubtedly valid, it was the police officers actions at this point that anger me.

At no point did the officer ask the driver, or any of the passengers, if they had been drinking.

Instead, he told the driver to remain, and ordered the rest of the passengers

to walk home. In addition, he never asked where these individuals lived.

Would he have had made them walk had he known they lived off of East Campus? Luckily, this was not the case, and all those individuals involved returned safely to their rooms.

Once again, the University is unwilling to take responsibility for an environment that it has created. An individual was willing to take responsibility for the transportation of peers, but was punished nonetheless/ Given that the officer never even inquired about whether these individuals had consumed alcohol, it would seem that DUPS would rather have had the least drunk of the other six individuals in the car to drive home as well. At least this way, we would not have had extra people in the car.

It is time for the University to start providing shuttle service to the Durham community. Otherwise, events like this will continue to pccur, or worse yet, the already dangerous amounts of drunk driving will increase. While my friend was forced to deal with an extremely rude police officer, the more frustrating fact is that she was forced to do this while trying to provide safe transportation for individuals that the University has pushed off campus.

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 2003

Wisdom of the p-frosh T>u can learn a lot from a p-frosh. I know we’re the ones who are supJL posed to teach them about the ins and outs of college life, the secrets of success and so on, but sometimes it can be the other way around.

Jonathan Ross Because we spend eight months out of the year living at Duke, it’s easy to lose touch with what it’s like to live somewhere else. I’m not even talking about living in the “real world.” What I mean is that we forget what made Duke different from other colleges and made us want to come here over the other places we visited.

I had a p-firosh visit early this week. It was a kid I knew from home who’s looking at a bunch of top schools, the usual places for a kid from Northern Newjersey: Princeton, Yale, Pehn, Duke, etc. Since he’d recently visited some of the other schools, he was looking at Duke through much different eyes than we do, since we’ve been spending all our time in the Gothic Wonderland for so long. And some of the things he noticed were enlightening.

In one of the classes he went to, I made a sarcastic comment when an ambitious freshmen asked an inane and useless question. The p-frosh said afterwards that at one of the other schools he visited (let’s call it the “University of Xsylvania”), “almost everyone asked questions like that, trying to impress the professor, but they just ended up sounding ridiculous.” We’ve all had a class with someone who repeatedly

tried to show off what they knew, but most people here could not stand being in a class full of people like that. It’s been said

Don’t get me wrong, I personally have complained long and loud about all of those things, and would be dancing with that we are not the “intellectual equal” of joy if/when they were fixed, but they’re not some of the Ivy schools, but if being their earth-shattering problems to have. Our supposed “intellectual equal” means that rooms aren’t the size of prison cells like at everyone around feels the need to loudly many schools, we have more than 10 restaudisplay how smart they are, I’m not sure Ivy rants that deliver to our rooms on food League intellectualism (and arrogance) is points (which you can’t even get at home, what we should be striving for.

In a similar vein, the p-ffosh noticed how relaxed most people around here seemed. Granted, it’s only the second week of the semester, and it does get pretty crazy come finals week, but it is true that most Duke students don’t devote their life to their work—they do other things too.

Sports, clubs, music, whatever, your average Dukie is a well-rounded person. I know Princeton, Harvard and Yale have plenty of people like this, but for a Top 10 school academically, we seem to specialize in allowing people to be more than the sum of their homework. Certainly, there are some of us who could afford to care a little more about class, but I think that living or dying by your grades and spending hours upon hours upon hours in the library studying are not necessarily desirable characteristics.

As the p-ffosh was going around with me, talking to guys on my hall and to my friends in other dorms, he heard the usual complaints. “Parking is terrible,” “Marketplace food equals death,” and “un-air-conditioned dorms are hell on earth.” Let’s think about that a little bit. Our biggest problems with Duke are that people with cars have to walk far after parking them, we only get decent food freshmen year but have 20 plus places to choose from besides that, and for about a month at the beginning of the year, some of us need six fans on in our rooms.

nor at any other school), and at least we can all have cars on campus. Life isn’t that bad. When I see stuff in the paper about problems at other universities, like Yale students having to deal with massive strikes and protests by their campus workers, or many kids at public universities being unable to find any classes to fit into their grad-

uation requirements —both of which were articles in the New York Times in the last month, I feel a little better about the Marketplace and the Blue Zone.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t talk about Duke’s problems, or that we shouldn’t try to fix them—l’m Just saying we should appreciate what we do have here. We were all innocent little p-ffoshes once, and on our visit here, something about this place made us want to spend the next four years of our life at Duke. Maybe we’d all be a little happier if every once in while, we tried to remember that feeling.

Disordered Consumption We

It is alarming and depressing, and it is time to start delving further into the issue and examining the societal implications of such an incredible amount of eating disorders, beyond the common analyses.

We discuss them as the result of perfectionist young women striving for control over another aspect of their lives, and attribute the reason for the powerful desire to be thin to the many images and messages that are fed to us every day. I am not trying to discount this interpretation, but as a whole, eating disorders are much more complex.

Eating disorders exist so widely because of our society of mass production and consumption. We are becoming more trained to always work towards some abstract notion of success and perfection, and this success is often measured by how much we are able to consume based on our finances.
