Duke readies for looming Isabel by

Benjamin Perahia THE CHRONICLE

As Hurricane Isabel slowly approaches the Eastern seaboard, University administrators are considering their response to the purported threat. The most extensive of preparations could be the evacuation of all students and staff from the Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C. However, experts are still uncertain where Isabel will hit. Predicted targets range from Charleston, S.C. to New York City. “Right now there is a significant chance that it could hit Durham,” said Orrin Pilkey, James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of Geology. “Predictions made at this stage of the game are very tenuous at best.” Mike Orbach, director of the Marine Lab, will announce today at noon what precautions Beaufort will take. “If we go to an official hurricane warning, we have to evacuate the island,” Orbach said. He added that some measures have already been taken, including taking some small boats out of the water and boarding windows. Although Beaufort officials have yet to decide whether to evacuate, Hyde County officials gave mandatory evacuation orders Monday to an estimated 3,000 Ocracoke Island residents and tourists. Orbach said Beaufort students will be housed in dorms and given an interim food plan if evacuation is necessary. On-campus administrators are also beginning to take precautions, as the hurricane poses a significant threat to campus, particularly with the possibility of falling trees and limbs.

“The potential for damage on our campus is large,” Pilkey said, adding that the oak trees on East Campus were more likely to have problems than those trees on West Campus. Major Robert Dean, director of communications for the Duke Police Department, said Duke Police is on full alert. “We want the community to be aware that the storm is headed in our direction,” Dean said. “We are prepared to handle any emergencies.”

SATELITE IMAGI

Jn an e-mail Monday, Arts and Sciences Council Chair Kathy Ewing called a special meeting of the Arts and Sciences and Engineering Faculty councils Sept. 18 at 4 p.m. to vote on a replacement for the former dean’s excuse policy, which was discontinued last spring. A policy was discussed during a joint session of the A&S Council and EEC Thursday, but a vote was delayed when it was discovered that only one member of the EEC was present. Four members of the EEC are required to reach quorum for a vote. Some members of the A&S Council said Thursday that the vote could wait until the next scheduled meeting in October, citing the fact that students and faculty have managed until now without an official policy in place. In the e-mail Ewing wrote to the councils, however, she stressed an “urgent need to pass a resolution” on a new policy. SEE SPECIAL SESSION ON PAGE 6

Hip-hop dances out of the club, into the classroom by

Jacqueline Foster THE CHRONICLE

And 5, 6, 7, 8 and pose. Dozens of students are frozen in the moment at the request of Jimmie Green one of the few times in the new dance instructor’s upbeat, high-energy hip-hop dance class that he will direct his students to be still. For the first time in the University’s history, hip-hop fans are now able to obtain formal instruction in the art of dance. Green’s class is open to students of all dance backgrounds, as long as they think they can keep up with a fast-paced introduction to an extremely lively art form. “It’s pretty hard and I’m not used to this kind of movement,” said junior Natalia Dorfman, sweating and tired after over an hour of dancing, “but it’s a lot of fun.” Although hip-hop dance is rigorous and many students come into the class relatively inexperienced, Green said most of the students are able to learn the moves at the fast pace in which he teaches. —

Students in the new hip hop dance class watch instructor JimmieGreen demonstrate a move.

Many students noted that it was a love for hip-hop that prompted them to enroll in the class. “I love hip-hop because of the music and the chance to dance something that I consider part of my [African-American] roots,” said junior Debo Aderibigbe. Though Aderibigbe has never gained any dance experience through formal classes, he did note that he has been able to incorporate moves he learned “in the club” into his hip-hop routines. On the first day of class, Green began teaching his students the first of several dance routines, onto which he adds piece by piece during each class period. A handpicked group of students will be invited to showcase these routines in a professionally-produced show in November, alongside numerous other dance classes. Hip-hop dance, which encompasses numerous old and new styles set to a urban beat, is a relatively young hybrid but Green SEE HIP-HOP ON PAGE 7

A federal apSAN FRANCISCO peals court threw California’s tumultuous recall campaign into complete turmoil Monday by postponing the Oct. 7 election, citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore in ruling that punch-card ballots could lead to some votes not being counted. The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is certain to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, putting the justices in a position to influence yet another monumental election. The three-judge panel did not set a new date for the recall election but

backed a suggestion from the American Civil Liberties Union that the balloting be held during the March 2

presidential primary. “It is virtually undisputed that...

voting systems are significandy more prone to errors that result in a voter’s ballot not being counted than the other voting systems used in California,” the judges wrote. The 9th Circuit is the nation’s largest and most liberal federal appeals court. It was the 9th Circuit last year that declared the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools unconstitutional because of the words “under God.”

Punch-card

Monday’s ruling was the last of about a dozen legal challenges to the attempt to unseat Democratic Gov. Gray Davis. Several candidates are running to replace him, including Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and conservative state Sen. Tom McClintock. Davis would probably benefit the most from the ruling if the election were held in March, because the presidential primary is expected to bring a large number of Democrats to the polls. It could also give Davis more time to address the state’s budget crisis and SEE RECALL RULING ON PAGE 6

Illinois considers Canadian prescriptions by Monica Davey NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois is conCHICAGO his state should begin buying prescripwhether sidering tion drugs from Canada for its employees, a decision that,

he says, could save of millions of dollars but could also put him at odds with the Food and Drug Administration over the issue. “It doesn’t matter where you go in our state, you meet people who are struggling with the cost of prescription drugs,” Blagojevich, a Democrat, said in an interview Monday afternoon. “If you can buy the same drug made by the same company, and it is safe and it costs less, then tens

that makes sense.” Illinois taxpayers spent $340 million this year, a 15 percent increase over last year, to provide drugs for 230,000 current and retired state employees, the governor said. That figure is projected to grow by 17 percent next year. The cost of prescription drugs in Canada and most other industrialized countries is regulated by the government, unlike in the United States. Last year, drug prices in the United States were 67 percent higher than in Canada, a report by a Canadian health agency found But the FDA bars people from importing drugs that have not been approved by the agency, and bars the resale of drugs made here, exported elsewhere, then returned here.

Fort Bragg soldier dies in Iraqi combat by

Jennifer Hasvold THE CHRONICLE

JANE

As the number of casualties from the war in Iraq continues to rise steadily, North Carolina felt the toll more acutely last Sunday when an-explosive device claimed the life of a N.C.-based paratrooper and wounded three others while on duty outside of Baghdad. The Fort Bragg soldier who was killed, Sgt. Trevor Blumberg, 22, enlisted in the military in July 2000 and just returned from service in Afghanistan last January. Blumberg had been in Iraq for about one month. “Any time that we lose a solider everyone is extremely saddened by that,” said Sgt. Pamela Smith, public affairs officer for the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg. ‘The families are always worried about their soldiers whenever they are deployed... but our soldiers are the best trained infantry soldiers in the world—we’re prepared for war and we’re prepared for peace.” A memorial is expected this week for the Canton, Mich., native at Fort Bragg. The soldiers were on patrol in a Humvee Sunday morning in the town of Fallujah, 43 miles west of Baghdad, when three improvised

Head Line Monitor Donald Wine addresses students at a spring town hall meeting about the future ofKrzyzewskiville.

Wine selects line monitors Emily Almas THE CHRONICLE

As any tenter can attest, there is little more spine chilling than the sound of a bull horn siren signifying a tentcheck in a dark and cold Krzyzewskiville at 3 a.m. This year, however, Duke Student Government Head Line Monitor Donald Wine hopes that the figures behind the bull horns will be thought of as more than just authority figures, becoming instead valuable resources for weary tenters. Wine announced Monday his selection of line monitors for the 2003-2004 basketball season. This year, he said, diversity played a role in the selection. “[While] the actual factor of race didn’t play a role, I wanted people from different backgrounds,” Wine said. “I wanted to create a group that was more diverse and brought different experiences to the table. I think it was more homogeneous [prior to last year] due to the fact that there wasn’t an application process, which was started last year by Jeremy [Morgan, former head line monitor].” Line monitors this year include Asian, black, Hispanic, Indian and white students, Wine said. Among their ranks are 16 seniors, seven juniors, and five sophomores. Eight of the 28 new line monitors are women. Fifty-three students applied for the line monitor position this year. The application process, which was similar to the system Morgan implemented last year, consisted of a written application as well as a personal interview with Wine.

the truck on fire. One eyewitness reported that the right rear quarter of 1 1 the truck was comblown off pletely and other soldiers were pulled from the burning vehicle before ammunition in the truck began exploding, The News and Observer of Raleigh reported. Fallujah has been a hotbed of discontent since the onset of the conflict, and anti-occupation sentiments were fanned by the death of eight Iraqi policemen and one Jordanian soldier Friday after an exchange of friendly fire with a Fort Bragg-based infantry unit. The Iraqi police were reportedly engaged in fire with American troops while in pursuit of assailants who had attacked their station. Jordanian troops guarding a nearby hospital thought they were being attacked and were drawn into the fray. The U.S. military issued an apology for the incident. Tensions reached boiling point, however, at the funeral service for the eight Iraqi police officers held Saturday when angry citizens took to the streets in an anti-American demonstration. “That’s the problem over there—there are so many people and you just don’t know where [an attack] might come out of,” Smith said. ‘They’re just over there doing their job, trying to do the best they can.” Blumberg is the 16thN.C.-based casualty since President George W. Bush’s May 1 declaration that major combat operations are over and the 48th N.C.-based casualty since the war in Iraq began last spring.

Wine said he focused on several characteristics when

selecting line monitors. “I was looking for people who were dependable and organized—the general characteristics of good line monitors,” he said. He also noted that

”

all of the newly chosen line monitors had either tented or served as a line monitor in the past. While many of the new line monitors participate in the same organizations—including DSG, the Maxwell House and Mirecourt selective living groups and Kappa Alpha fraternity—students seemed generally pleased with the selection process. “[The application process] seemed pretty reasonable, like most other positions. Obviously I would have liked to be a line monitor but I am sure that Donald did a good job,” said David Rausen, a junior who applied but was not selected. “[Donald] was very fair with things.” Mdrrill Roller, who was captain of tent one last year for the game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, agreed that despite the various associations between the new line monitors, he expects this year’s tenting to be enjoyable and successful. “I noticed that a lot of people are in DSG... [but] that’s not really a problem,” Roller said. “It’s kind of monitored by the tenters too, and I bet they will work really well together.” Roller added that he has faith in Wine to regulate and improve the tenting experience. “[Line monitors] are out there to do their job. Donald is absolutely the man, he will take care of us, and I have no concerns at all,” he said.

The long-delayed web-based archive for undergraduate work came online this fall, affording students, potential employers and administrators the opportunity to monitor progress and achievement in writing, research and art Portfolio@Duke is sponsored and managed by Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. While embarrassing Writing 20 papers or any other work can be kept in a private folder, students will also have the opportunity to make selected academic work publicly available. One of the major uses planned for the portfolio is for job-related activities. Director of Assessment for Trinity College Matt Serra said potential employers will soon be able to follow a link on a student’s job application to the portfolio, and there they will find writing samples or other desired information. “I hope one day firms and various employers, including but not limited to those that already visit the school for the annual Career Fair, will use the Duke Portfolio to scan for potential job candidates,” said senior Michael Grabarz, who has signed up for the service. However, Sheila Curran, director of the Career Center, said she doubted that employers would take the time to check out a student’s portfolio. She predicted the best use of the portfolio would be by job applicants seeking to retain and organize writing samples and for recommendations, as

While some coastal North Carolina residents have already begun to evacuate in anticipation of Hurricane Isabel, the Durham City Council has initiated preparations to cope with the potential strike of the storm. At the Council’s meeting Monday night, City Manager Marcia Conner said all city departments have begun contingency preparations. “Current weather modeling is all concurrent on the course... but in the event that the storm changes it could have a significant impact on Durham,” she said. The city has delegated extra personnel to respond to 911 calls and assigned public works personnel to clear out storm drains pre-emptively. City employees will also be taking measures to preserve city records and ensure the integrity of back-up generators. Conner also said several city officials will be meeting with Duke Power today for a seminar on planning for disaster control.

Crime Briefs Rapes reported Durham police investigators are asking for information about two recent rape cases. The first case was reported Sept. 11 and the second occurred Sept. 13. The first victim told officers she was at Cook Road and Fayetteville Street around 4 p.m. waiting for a bus to take her to the hospital when a man driving a green or teal SUV stopped and offered her a ride. The man allegedly took her to a secluded area behind a brick building somewhere near Githens Middle School and raped her. The suspect is described as a black male with a light complexion, 30 to 35 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall and 180 to 190 pounds. He had a full beard and mustache and a short Afro hairstyle. He had small, thin lips, a wide nose and a feminine-sounding voice. He also had a tattoo on his right shoulder. The second alleged incident happened around 4 a.m. Sept. 13 near the U.S. Post Office on Kangaroo Drive. The victim got out of her car to retrieve a letter she had dropped and noticed a light-colored equipment van in the parking lot. One man stayed in the van while two men got out and approached the victim. One man was armed with a large, jagged knife and the second man punched her twice in the stomach. The men threatened to cut her if she tried to get away, then drove her to an unknown location and raped her. The suspects are described only as three Hispanic males. Anyone with information on either case is asked to call investigator M. Soucie at 560-4440, ext. 248, or CrimeStoppers at 683-1200. CrimeStoppers pays cash rewards for information leading to’arrests in felony cases.

In a separate incident, a student reported that between midnight and 12:20 a.m. Sept. 14, she was at a party in Wannamaker Dorm #2. During that time she was charging her cell phone. When she returned for her $5O Nokia 4820 cell phone, white in color, it was missing.

The office of Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, said he will be attending meetings today and tomorrow to discuss measures the University will take to deal with the hurricane. Trask could not be reached for comment. “I assume the University has prepared for this sort of thing and has extra supplies of water and will make arrangements for food,” Pilkey said. “When you have 10,000 people standing there to be fed, you have to have something.” Duke has weathered one major hurricane in the recent past —Hurricane Fran in September 1996 during which students danced in the quad, Pilkey added. Beaufort has not been evacuated since the fall of 1999, when the labs were struck by three different hurricanes. Pilkey advised students to stay out of the quad this time around, if the winds are strong. “I suppose if my children were there I’d be telling them to get some water and maybe a little bit of food,” Pilkey said. “But I know my kids wouldn’tpay attention to that.”

Laptop stolen A student reported that between 10 and 10:05 a.m. Sept. 13, he was working at the librarian desk in Lilly Library. He left the desk to assist a patron, and when he returned his $2,000 blue Toshiba laptop computer, $lOO black Toshiba power converter and $lOO black Toshiba wireless mouse adapter had been stolen.

Wallet gone An employee reported that between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sept. 11, someone entered her office located in Biological Science Building and stole her unprotected wallet from her purse, containing credit/debit cards, checkbook, driver's license, Social Security card and keys. She discovered that her credit card was used to make several purchases.

SPECIAL SESSION “Given the disagreements that arose in the Sept. 11 meeting concerning amendments to the text of the proposed policy, it is essential that we have a quorum of both Arts and Sciences and Engineering Faculty Council faculty in attendance at the meeting,” wrote Ewing, an associate professor of cultural anthropology who is just beginning her term as chair of Arts and Sciences Council. Dean Kay Singer, a member of the committee that reexamined the dean’s excuse policy, said classes cannot operate much longer without a new policy. “Not taken info account was the fact that there will be a greater number of tests and other graded assignments in the next month than there were in the first month of classes,” she said. Despite a call from chemistry professor James Bonk who chaired the dean’s excuse policy committee—that the special session be held in Hudson Hall to accommodate EEC members, the councils will meet again in So—

cial Sciences 139. Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William Chafe expressed hope that both councils would make quorum after last week’s non-vote put the dean’s excuse policy “in limbo.” A vote on the policy is necessitated by the expiration of the old dean’s excuse policy, which mandated that students get confirmation of illness from medical professionals. Director of Student Health Dr. Bill Christmas announced last fall that health care workers would no longer issue such confirmations. Under the new policy, if passed, students would be able to deal directly with faculty members if short-term illnesses hampered their abilities to complete their course work on time. Students would use an e-mail form to inform professors of their illness and would be expected to abide by the Community Standard, which went into effect this fall. After Bonk presented the proposed policy to at Friday’s joint session, the councils debated the procedure and wording of the new policy, causing the session to run over its scheduled time slot. A number of faculty left the meeting before the policy could be put to a vote.

Instructor Jimmie Green leads his hip-hop dance class Monday.

•

HIP-HOP from page 1 said he is sure it will be around for a long time. He called it a “dream” to teach. Early in his life, Green grabbed dance by the drawstrings and has yet to let go. He danced professionally for over 15 years with Chuck Davis, who is the founder and artistic director of the nationally renowned African American Dance Ensemble, before breaking off from the team seven years ago to teach others. Although Green has justrecendy made his way to the University, he has taught dancers of all ages and skill levels ranging from school-aged children to professionals in dance studios. He decided to bring his skill to Duke partly because of the American Dance Festival, which has been held at the University for the past 25 years and has established Duke as a major destination for dance. “The dance program is popular at Duke, and Durham is a good place for the arts,” said Green. The addition of Green’s class has further diversified the long list of dance courses available at Duke. “[Hip-hop] is an exciting cultural

dance form that we should be offering when we can,” said Barbara Dickinson, director of the dance program. Green hopes to explore the cultural roots of hip-hop dance in greater depth by emphasizing the African dance elements that have influenced it. Although he said many hip-hoppers do not fully appreciate the connection between the two, some students in his class are beginning to notice the similarities. “Some of the dance motions are borrowed from other genres,” said junior Takiyah Leerdam, who was able to draw parallels between hip-hop and her experiences with African dance. And what of next year? Hip-hop’s return to the dance curriculum partly depends, like many things at the University, on the budget. “We only have a certain amount of money for courses not taught by regular Duke faculty,” said Dickinson. This means that like dance forms such as swing and tap, hip-hop dance will likely be offered every other semester. Financial issues aside, Green said the demand will certainly be there. “The kids are eating it up,” he said. “As long as they’re hungry, I’m gonna feed it to them.” has already issued a permit—the city itself has little say on establishing dispersal requirements for businesses with wine and alcohol licenses. Council member Thomas Stith expressed a desire to form an exploratory committee and engage other municipalities on working with the state legislature to resolve the issue. Council members also discussed the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report on funds spent on housing development programs in Durham. The vote to approve the report was postponed until Sept. 25 after manycitizens argued that the report’s release did not allow for a sufficient amount of time for dialogue and discussion before the meeting.

department Vanderbilt’s decision to eliminate its athletic department is a symbolic change that is not as revolutionary as much of the media would lead everyone to believe. “A few years ago, members of the Vanderbilt Board of Trustees came to visit Duke and studied our structure for athletics,” Duke athletic director Joe Alieva wrote in an e-mail. Indeed, the Commodores have opted to emulate a method of running big-time athletic programs at a big-time academic school, copying a structure Duke adopted around 15 years ago, though with a less conspicuous tide. Duke’s athletic department is “thoroughly integrated into the Duke administration,” which includes financial reporting, fund raising, maintenance, media relations and academic support. Alieva is. in charge of all varsity, club and intramural sports, and the golf course. In short, Alieva explained, the athletic department at Duke is technically identical to any other department on campus. Vanderbilt’s revamping will develop a similar setup, though with a lucid goal in mind. “We have allowed a separate culture to exist for athletes, and I believe this finally has to end,” Vanderbilt Chancellor Gordon Gee decreed last week. The impetus of this change is purportedly going to be the “reorganization of intercollegiate athletics and intramural sports in one department as part of the Division of Student Life and University Affairs,” according to The Washington Post. In other words, Vanderbilt will be tucking athletics under the covers of a more academic-sounding department. Gee’s intentions are certainly respectable, but how is the integration of an athletic department going to alter the way students interact? And how is this move—which is, essentially, a simple renaming .of an athletic department by firmly placing it under the school’s jurisdiction—going to, according to Gee, “Bring some balance back into the nature of intercollegiate athletics”? I sincerely doubt that much will change at Vanderbilt in terms of the experience of the school’s student-athletes, their success SEE POOF ON PAGE 10

Bruce Chen was trying to get inside of Jorge Cantu’s kitchen all night. With this in mind during the sixth inning of a 2-2 ballgame Cantu approached home plate. With the International Championship on the line, he ripped a firstpitch inside fastball over the left field fence to help the Durham Bulls sweep the Pawtucket Red Sox to win their second consecutive Governor’s Cup. Led by Cantu and starting pitcher Jim Magrane, the Bulls defeated Pawtucket 3-2 in the best-of-five series. The championship is the ninth in team history and marks the third time a Bulls team has gone back-to-back. Magrane helped the cause by hurling six innings of four-hit ball, allowing only TOM MENDEL,TOE CHRONICLE one earned run.

you’ve got to believe that you’re going to win those games. Being in them and having some success is going to help you do that. I really believe we’ll be in another one down the road. So instead of [the media] asking our players, ‘Did you think, oh here we go again [with another close loss]?’ Now hopefully our players will be saying ‘We’ve been in a close game before, we’ve had success, and we know we can win those close games.’” Offensive lineman Drew Strojny, who was also at the conference, shared his coach’s sentiments. “Winning a close game really helps a lot,” he said. “Last year we lost a lot of close games. It was definitely a confidence booster.” Franks made similar comments about redshirt freshman Mike starting quarterback Schneider. Franks felt Schneider was playing very well, but was continually making rookie mistakes.

Mcßoberts to announce decision today, Duke expected to be Indianan’s choice Top class of 2005 recruit Josh Mcßoberts will announce his college decision at a press conference at 3:45 GST tomorrow. He is expected to decide between Duke, North Carolina, Indiana, Notre Dame, Kansas and Arizona. The announcement comes right after Mcßoberts and his family took an unofficial visit to Duke this past weekend. As was reported in Monday’s edition of The Chronicle, Mcßoberts seemed very pleased with his visit, and according to theinsiders.com, sources say he will commit to Duke. Josh Mcßoberts’ father Tim Mcßoberts would neither confirm nor deny such rumors in a telephone interview with The Chronicle Monday night. He said he has not yet been able to contact all of the schools involved in Mcßoberts’ recruitment. “I’d like to be able to call all of the schools that have been active with Josh,” Tim Mcßoberts said. “The coach of the school to which [Mcßoberts] will commit knows where he’s going to go but the other coaches don’t.” Tim Mcßoberts did, however, confirm that his son’s Duke visit was a success. “We’re very pleased,” he said. “The trip went very very well.” Josh Mcßoberts, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Carmel, Ind., averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game as a sophomore last year for Carmel High School. Versatile and athletic, he is considered to be one of the top-10 prospects in the class of 2005. Were he to pick Duke, Mcßoberts would be men’s has-

Mcßoberts will announce his decision at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday at a press conference at his high school. Check The Chronicle Online Tuesday night for an interview with Mcßoberts Tuesday night. Russian native set to visit Duke campus later this month, looks forward to meeting current players Just two years ago, Alexander “Sasha” Kaun was a 6-foot-10, 190-pound beanpole from Siberia with little basketball experience or knowledge of the English language. Now two years more experienced, one inch taller and 50 pounds bigger, Kaun has blossomed into one of the premier big men in the class of 2004 and one of Duke’s top recruiting targets. “I talked to [Coach Mike Krzyzewski]; he actually was here last Thursday,” the Tomsk, Russia native said in an interview with The Chronicle Monday night. The big man, who has already taken official visits to Kansas and Michigan State, will visit Duke’s campus the weekend of September 26. “I know Coach K, what he has done...the program, the style of play, the motion offense,” Kaun said. ‘The only thing I don’t know is the relationship [between the coach-

ing staff and the players], and I’d like to ask a couple of questions to the players.” The coach-player relationship and support system seem to be very important to the Russian native, whose family still lives overseas. “If I had a hard dme I could go and talk to someone like the coach or the players,” the talented center said. He also said he would consider factors such as education, basketball program, style of play and fit in making his college decision. Kaun is considered the 23rd best prospect in the class of 2004 by Rivals.com and is a consensus top-five center recruit. Last year Kaun averaged 13 points, 7 seven rebounds and two blocks per game as a junior for a Florida Air Academy team that had a second consecutive undefeated run to the state championship. His statistics are somewhat deceiving, however. Kaun’s high school team was very defense-oriented and balanced, according to Florida Today sports reporter Barbara Caywood. “Everybody on the [Florida Air Academy] team.averaged double figures,” Caywood said. “They had such a balanced team and very, very outstanding guards...they were so good they beat a lot of teams by 40 points or so and their bench got a lot of playing time.” As of last night, Kaun was hesitant to name a leader for his services. “I probably wouldn’t be able to answer that question until I visited Duke,” the Siberian said. He did, however, say he would likely announce his college decision “a couple of days” after his visit to the Gothic Wonderland.. “I don’t know much about Duke,” Kaun said “Hopefully I’ll find out.”

on the field or in the classroom, or the athletic (or academic) reputation of the school as a whole. Alieva is skeptical, as well. “As far as Vandy is concerned, as long as they are playing intercollegiate athletics they will have an athletic department and someone will be in charge whether they call the person ‘athletic director’ or not, they are merely playing word games,” he wrote. “I don’t know if much is going to change at Vandy.” To be fair, Alieva pointed out that the unification of a school administration and its athletic department is advantageous. “This structure allows us to share facilities and staff to be more efficient,” he wrote. As nice as that sounds, that will not assuage Gee’s concerns regarding isolated athletes. Certainly, athletes have friends on and off their athletic teams—but I’d imagine that many are less assimilated into the student body as they wish to be. However, it is also probably true that most students involved in time-consuming activities are surrounded by the same people most of the time, and as a result, remain “isolated” with those friends more exclusively than with the rest of the Duke community. Vanderbilt will be no different. But gee-whiz, isn’t there some way Gee can eliminate the perils (and myriad benefits) of varsity athletics at his academically prestigious university? Sure—eliminate sports all together. At least that would be original.

showing an intense commitment to both individual and team improvement.

Strojny said that although Duke has had three starting quarterbacks in the past three years, cohesion is not greatly hampered on the Duke offense. “I’d say anytime you have a new quarterback who hasn’t had any game experience, he’s going to make mistakes,” Strojny said. “Because we’ve had three quarterbacks in three years, there’s going to be mistakes. But I think Mike is doing great. He made some great runs and some great throws [Saturday].” Strojny went on to say that Schneider is cocky, but in a good way. “He’s not what you’d expect from a redshirt freshman,” Strojny said. “He’s really confident in the huddle. I think that’s a quality you need to have in your quarterback.” Strojny also seemed happy with the performance of his fellow offensive linemen. The Blue Devils are leading the ACC in rushing offense, and senior running back Chris Douglas leads all individuals in yards on the ground. “This is our third year together, and we’re really confident in what we’re doing,” Strojny said. “We’ve been playing really well for the first

three games of the season.” The Duke running game looks to only get better, as last season’s leading rusher Alex Wade is finally getting over his hamstring injury' and redshirt sophomore Cedric Dargan is cured of the virus that kept him out of Saturday’s game. Wade played in the first two games of the season, but every time he was questioned about his hamstring by coaches and trainers he said it was bothering him. Against Rice he repeatedly said the back of his leg was feeling good en route to his season-high 45

rushing yards.

discussed Franks also Northwestern, but it is still hard to evaluate the Wildcats because they are plagued by injuries. Northwestern’s quarterback Brett Basanez is injured and so is running back Jason Wright, who averages

108rushing yards per game. No matter who plays Saturday, the Blue Devils will be looking to avenge their 2621 loss to Northwestern a season ago. The game saw Duke lose its lead in the fourth quarter, leaving a bitter taste in the Blue Devils’ mouth. “I just remember it being a really winnable game that we let slip away,” Strojny said. “It’s one of those things. It’s two different football teams; it’s not going to be the same as last year. We just want to come out and get a win.”

Students should get into the city

And God asked, “But did you enjoy it?” I had no idea PSYI77, Human Sexuality, would be this fun.

This

past weekend, more than 100 freshman volunteered to participate in “Into the City,” a day of service designed to expose first-year students to the Durham community, and the many opportunities for service that abound outside Duke’s campus. However, while introductory service events like “Into the City” are well-attended, their success rarely carries over into the remainder of students’ careers. A majority of Duke students volunteer for some type of service at one time or another during their time at the University, but many of them only do so once, or on a very irregular basis. At a school that takes pride in giving students a well-rounded “liberal-arts education,” service should play a more prominent role. The failure of many individuals to incorporate community service into their educational experience is indicative of deficiencies across multiple areas at the University. First, the lack of participation in service programs among upperclassmen is not the result of a lack of programs. Rather, it is a function of a lack of consistent and effective publicity for those programs. Throughout their first year, students’ inboxes and commons rooms are inundated with presentations, marketplace tabling sessions and reminders of service events. Frshamam recruiting is successful in large part because of the personal quality of advertising—students involved in service make an effort to interact with new students and discuss their experiences. However, once students move to West or Central campuses, such exposure drops off considerably. Flyers and advertisments are helpful, but lack the effectiveness of personal interaction. Further, many events are not registered with Duke Student Government or University officials, meaning that those responsible for sponsoring them cannot make use of common avenues of publicity like banners over the Bryan Center walkway. The coordinators of the Community Service Center work hard to provide opportunities for service and outreach programs, but these efforts are much less effective without consistent, personal advertising to accompany them. The officials at the CSC should work closely with DSG’s Committee for Community Interaction to ensure that service events and programs are publicized. In addition, service-oriented groups should make an effort to make presentations to selective groups and dorms on West Campus Even with these measures, the onus to perform service ultimately rests with individuals themselves. Community service is not mandatory, nor should it become so. Service loses much of its power when the people performing it are forced to be there. However, participating in service activities is something that will broaden students’ personal experiences, and expand their views and ideas. These are all integral components to a complete college education. How many of us lauded our service accomplishments in our college applications? How many of us have continued to make service a priority? In the coming year, students should strive to truly get “into the city.”

Mary Adkins It was female anatomy week. As Prof. Sloan passed around a plastic bag of chocolates, customized to include the favorite kinds and brands students had listed the first day of class, she clicked her laptop and a giant vagina flashed onto the screen. “Who here with one of these has used a mirror to look at it?” It was our third class meeting, and we were beginning to understand that Sloan’s strategy for teaching us about sexuality was to incorporate relevant material from our personal lives. Seated directly to Sloan’s right at the seminar table so that facing her, the rest of the class was just outside my peripheral vision, I raised my hand. Then, I turned to survey the number of women also interested in regarding their vaginas. I was the only one. Slowly I dropped my arm, embarrassed at the possibility that everyone in the room was imagining me with my pants down and a mirror between my legs. I am not the weirdo. It is a good thing. It is a good thing. Now, we were passing around another aphrodisiac. The “Big Book of Filth: 6,500 Sex Words and Phrases.” Tuning out Sloan’s endocrinology lecture, I took a long turn with the book, jotting down the best terms and phrases to share with my friends. Bagpiping (late nineteenth century)— coitus in axilla, i.e. intercourse under the armpit. That sounded boring. Pre-dawn vertical insertion—1980s slang for sex in the early morning, from a description by Reagan of the 1983 U.S. invasion of Guatemala. Does it count as ‘slang’ if the only person to use it is the author of the book? Spearing the hairy doughnut, sinking the sausage, funching the munch. Russian Salad Party (19505-60s) —an orgy in which everyone is drenched in baby oil. The logistics seemed awkward. Would have to think about that one more. “Okay, we’re going to play a game.” If you are a Duke student who takes classes in which games are played, you know the genre into which this game fits. Games in college courses involve role-play, index cards or movement to the right or left of a given space to express whether you agree or disagree with a statement. This game fit into the second category, designed to help us memorize the facts of female anatomy. “Without looking, tape the index cards to your backs. You will ask the rest of us yesor-no questions to determine what you are.” The first girl twisted her body to display her new identity to the class. It was cryptic. The card read: female symbol (vertical line topped with a circle and dissected with a horizontal line), dash, the number “23.” Apparently, I was presumptuous to assume I knew how it all works; this was no typical twenty-questions game. “Am I a body part?” “Yes.” “No she isn’t. She is in every cell of the

body.”

“No she isn’t. She’s only in the ones... you know. There.” Some of us had deciphered Sloan’s code to signify the X-chromosome, others to signify the gametes in her ovaries. The gamete group, of which I was a member, won with loudness. “You are only in one specific place!” “Am I eggs?” We clapped. Others went, one after another, pouncing on self-discovery like they finally understood things, after all this time searching. “I am the embryo!” “I am the clitoris!” “Am I the anus? Yes!” The next candidate stood and spiraled his torso, showing off his card like a door prize. Groans filled 319 Soc/Psych. “Oh, great. It’s a hard one. I must be a hormone. I’ll never get it. Let me go ahead and guess —LH? FSH? Oxytocin?” “No!” “Am I a body part?” “Yes!” “Am I near the cervix?” “No!” He was clueless. Like good therapists, we reviewed what he did know about himself. “I know I release a substance. I am not for sexual pleasure. Does the egg implant itself into me? “No! There are two of you, remember?” “And men have them, too.” We abandoned the yes-or-no rule. This was taking too

long.

“Do I swell or burst?” The girl seated next to him had an idea. “Think about what I am.” “The labia?” “No! I’m a gland.” “Oh, right.” He had it. “Adrenals!”

Applause. Laughter. “We should play this at parties! I freaked ”

everyone night.

out

for the second time of the

Finally, the evening was coming to a close. We had one last question for Prof. Sloan, who had not been present during the controversy over the enigmatic female-signdash-twenty-three card. “Does this,” someone held it up, “denote the gamete or the X-chromosome?” “Neither,” she smiled. “It’s the cover card. Twenty-three is the number of cards in the stack that I gave you —all of which are about the female body.” Silly us! We took advantage of the cheap laugh, closed our notebooks and grabbed some chocolate for the road. “Goodbye my little fetus,” I hugged my friend Tsu-Ym. “Fetus?!” She pulled away. “I am not a fetus; I am a nipple.” As I left class, I checked my voice mail to find a message from my friend Amy that began with the following sentence. “Hey Mary, two things. First, from now on when people ask, ‘How are you?’ I am going to become very distressed and yell, T’m dying!’ Second...” Boredom is boring. Sex, life when it is noticed and other people are not. Coitus in axilla. I suppose even that could be fun with some creativity. Mary Adkins is a Trinity senior. She is a guest columnist.

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 2003

Making free trade for all The

standard argument raised by protesters at last week’s World Trade Organization conference in Cancun was that the WTO’s insistence on free trade threatens the livelihood of the Third World. This position forms the ideological core of the anti-globalization movement. And yet, the real flaw —and it is a fundamental one—in international trade is quite the opposite. Free trade, as it stands, is just not free enough. And this is what makes it so grossly unfair to the world’s poor.

To be sure, commerce among devel-

oped nations is about as free as it gets.

The WTO (and GATT, which preceded it) ensure that the U.S. can ship computers to Germany and import luxury cars from Japan with practically no tariffs or quotas. Unfettered trade in manufactured products is one of the great achievements of the post-1945 “Washington consensus,” and there is no doubt that it dramatically enhanced economic growth throughout the West. But these same countries, who threw open their doors to each other’s goods with such success, have kept them firmly shut when it comes to agricultural imports from the developing world. This enormous hypocrisy, for which

the U.S., Europe and Japan are responsible, represents the single greatest challenge to the future of the WTO. A staggering $3OO billion is spent on farm subsidies each year by the industrialized world. No other sector of the economy even comes close to getting this kind of government aid. Lest you think there is some noble purpose for such a system of continuous free handouts, there isn’t. This is pure protectionism, plain and simple, and it’s making it impossible for farmers from Africa to Latin America to compete in the global economy. Indulge me while I clarify some longstanding myths. First, the image of a struggling farmer who depends on government aid to make a living is the exception rather than the rule. The vast majority of government subsidies go to owners of vast agribusinesses, who would enjoy economies of scale and low unit costs without any subsidies whatsoever. In Europe, for instance, the largest 2 percent of farms receive 24 percent of the direct payments. Second, although subsidies are aimed at the domestic economy, they clearly distort prices worldwide. By incendvizing overproduction, they result in a global glut of commodities like cotton and sugar, depressing prices to the point that Third World farmers are priced out of the market. Finally, subsidies offer absolutely zero advantages to western consumers and taxpayers. On the contrary, the $3OO

billion spent on farm aid translates to $l,OOO per household. On top of that, subsidies often make it more profitable to export farm products overseas rather than sell domestically, which raises food prices for the same people who are already stuck with the tax bill. This is not market economics—it is more akin to the worst kind of Soviet-era price fixing. But while the inefficiency of subsidies is itself indefensible, it pales to the human cost that is forced upon some of the poorest countries in the world. This is a clear instance of unfair trade practices that worsen poverty. It is morally wrong, as the charity Oxfam points out, that the $3.9 billion handout to U.S. cotton farmers in 2001-02 is greater than the entire GDP of cotton producer Burkino Faso. Farmers in that country and neighboring Benin, who could effectively compete due to low labor costs, are finding their competitive advantage eroded by the U.S. farming subsidies. They are unfairly being forced out of business by policies that are absent in any other sector of the economy. The United States is not the worst offender when it comes to this issue. In nominal terms, this honor undoubtedly belongs to Japan, where the average subsidy to a catde farmer is over $2,500 per cow, or 2.5 times greater than in the U.S. Overall, however, it is the European Union that is fighting tooth and nail to make sure that its largesse keeps flowing to the tiny percentage of its citizens who

farm. Half the EU’s entire budget is now consumed by its Common Agricultural Policy, and this percentage will only rise as Eastern European nations with large rural populations join the club next year. In Cancun, the arm-twisting by the EU delegation would make a Washington lobbyist blush. President George W. Bush’s administration, like all those that preceded it, has a decidedly mixed record on trade. While paying lip service to the principle of a tariff-free world, exceptions were always made when politically expedient. It was the Bush administration that helped broker a deal to give developing countries access to cheap medicines—a deal that is far from perfect but is a clear step in the right direction. Critics would point out the 2002 imposition of steep tariffs on steel as a counter-argument. Regardless of what happened in the past, the question of farm subsidies represents a unique opportunity for America to lead on a matter of enormous importance to billions of farmers in over a hundred developing nations. These people, who were told that trade will lift them out of poverty, are still denied the opportunity to compete on a level playing field. It’s time for Washington to put its stated commitment to free trade into practice and unilaterally lift all trade-distorting agricultural measures.

It’s

bad enough that we cannot trust all our professors to be objective. Now we cannot even trust our librarians.

Nathan Carleton Case in point: Last month two members of the Duke Conservative Union noticed that the University Libraries Website— www.lib.duke.edu—had a new link labeled “Palestine Internet Resources.” They clicked on it and were immediately greeted with a curious image: a map of Israel labeled “Palestine.” A quick perusal of the website revealed the rest of its content to be equally biased and even anti-Semitic. Since I don’t have enough space to explain all of the problems with the site, I’ll list the top three: 1. A section labeled “News” included links to 14 sources. 13 of them were left-leaning (all but the Jerusalem Post), including six Arabic and two French. 2. Hamas, which the State Department (and now the European Union) calls a “terrorist organization,” was listed under the title “Government Agencies & Political Groups.” 3. The “History, Arts & Culture” portion of the website included a link called “Baha Boukhari Cartoon.” One of this Arab site’s main graphics was a Star of David fashioned out of barbed wire. This “Palestine Internet Resources” page listed the name of its webmaster, also the Library’s “Resource Specialist for the Middle East.” The students wrote to him and offered the names of various sources that could, if added, diminish the site’s blatant bias (Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Commentarymagazine.com). They also explained in detail their 16 biggest complaints with the site’s content, including the three listed above and the “Palestine” map. The webmaster said that he would add the suggested
