Career Week lures Brodhead to live in Hart House

alumni, students by

Aaron Levine

THE CHRONICLE

CEOs, VPs, teachers, social workers, a state senator—and a stunt man Duke Career Week will kick off Sunday with an impressive list of returning alumni from a variety of backgrounds and a number of entertaining and informative events. While the presenters are turning heads on campus and at other institutions, including Stanford University, programmers are satisfied knowing they are helping students get a little closer to determining their futures. Sheila Curran, executive director of the Career Center, hopes the week will influence all students who attend and aid some in finding an interest they may have never considered before. “Students come with careers they think they ought to be doing. The reason they don’t change their minds is they don’t know what’s going on,” Curran said. She credited the variety of careers alumni have pursued as an

For the first time in almost 40 years, Duke’s presidential residence will be within easy walking distance of the University’s main campus. The Board ofTrustees has decided to renovate the Hart House, at the corner of Cameron Boulevard and Duke University Road, so it can serve as both official function space and private living quarters for President-elect Richard Brodhead. Brodhead and his wife Cindy will move into the house once renovations are complete, probably around the end of 2004, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said. “Its campus location and setting are ideal, and when renovated it will be a great facility,” Peter Nicholas, chair of the Board of Trustees, said in a statement. “We believe it will serve future Duke presidents and Duke well.” Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations John Burness, said there is a fair amount of work to do on the Hart House, a three-

Duke readies for No. 2 Vols New eatery comes to School of Law by

THE CHRONICLE

This matchup is electric. The top-ranked Blue Devils (15-1, 6-0 in the ACC) will try to defend Cameron, and their No. 1 seed, against the No. 2 Tennessee Volunteers (15-1, 5-0 in the SEC) this Saturday. Both teams ride long winning streaks. Duke has won its last 15 games, and the Volunteers have won eight in a row. Each squad had its only loss come at the hands ofTexas. And if that wasn’t enough reason for excitement, Duke’s Alana Beard will become the first woman ever to have her jersey retired in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The ceremony will take place prior to the 6 p.m. tip-off. Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors knows the atmosphere will be incredible. “When you’re on the sidelines inbounding the ball, [the Cameron Crazies] can almost reach over and touch you, and sometimes you feel like they’re going to,” Goestenkors said.

‘They’re very much involved in

the game, very clever with their chants and the things that they do. It’s all very organized. It just makes it a very exciting environment. I think that teams enjoy playing in that environment because the crowd is so very much involved in the game.” Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt, fresh off her I,oooth career victory against Vanderbilt Thursday, knows that her team will need mental toughness to compete. “[The Duke] game will tell us a lot about ourselves and where we are,” Summitt said. “It will tell us if we are warriors and can go on the road and compete. I’m anxious to see how we react. I like this team a lot. They have fought hard to come out with the wins that they have. I expect nothing different.” The Blue Devils beat Maryland on Thursday 78-48, and the highlight of the game was the play of senior Iciss Tillis. SEE VOLS ON PAGE 12

Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said the culprit behind the last vendor’s brief stay—a failed background check that was discovered just after the owner opened his doors—will not strike again at the new venue, The Cafe at Duke Law. J. W. Walton, Trinity ’Bl and co-owner of The Catering Company, said The Cafe will serve a wide variety of foods, including a number of low-fat and low-calorie options. The breakfast menu includes options such as breakfast sandwiches, fresh fruit and

fresh-baked croissants and scones. The lunch menu ranges from Asian salads to roasted eggplant paninis to freshly made soups. The Cafe will also serve daily entree dishes. “The idea was that we wanted Foster’s [Market] quality but at lower prices, and we also wanted to make sure it could be quick,” Wulforst said. “The new place will have grab-and-go foods, but will also be making things to order.” Walton said the eatery can seat 30 at its tall lunch tables, but that he was told to expect a lot of people on the run. “In fact, we were told to make sure the operation is efficient—that there are plenty of pre-wrapped, prepacked products people can grab,” he said. ‘That’s why we have things like salads and sushi on the menu.

Senate passes $3738 spending bill ■•

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate overcame Democratic delaying tactics Thursday and sent President George W. Bush an overdue $373 billion bill financing a vast swath of government and bearing a bushel of victories for the White House. Senators approved the measure 6528 a month after House passage. The bill finances agriculture, veterans and most other domestic programs for the budget year that began Oct. I—nearly1—nearly four months ago. The mammoth measure also protects Bush administration policies on

overtime pay, media ownership and food labeling. Angry over those issues, Democrats had succeeded on Tuesday in blocking a vote on final passage. But on Thursday’s showdown, the chamber voted 61-32 to end Democratic delays that had slowed the measure since last month, one more than the 60 votes needed. With the White House and GOP leaders adamant about not changing the measure, enough Democrats succumbed to its tons of home-state projects and spending boosts for popular programs. “It is time to move on,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. “The country demands that we complete actiorrtm this bill.”

The bill would let the administration proceed with new rules that would let companies pay overtime to fewer white collar workers and allow media conglomerates to own more television stations. It would also postpone for two years a requirement that meat and many other foods sold in stores have labels identifying the country they come from. With last month’s discovery that a Washington state cow had mad cow disease, many Democrats hoped they had gained leverage that would let them remove the labeling delay, but the White House and House GOP leaders refused to budge.

Israeli Prime Minister will not resign by

Ariel Sharon said Thursday he will not resign as prime minister, despite corruption allegations and the looming possibility he could be indicted in the coming weeks. A real estate developer was indicted Wednesday on charges of bribing Sharon with $690,000, and Jusdce Ministry officials said they would decide within weeks or months whether to indict the prime minister for accepting bribes. Such charges would only be filed if prosecutors are convinced Sharon had criminal intent. Despite a flurry of criticism, Sharon said he would not step down.

At a meeting of backers of his ruling Likud Party Thursday afternoon, Sharon said: “I plan to keep serving as prime minister and as Likud chair until 2007 at least,” according to the Yediot Web site.

Council hears OIT update by

lan Crouch

THE CHRONICLE

Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Tracy Futhey gave the Academic Council a general overview of OIT and its objectives Thursday, praising the progress made in improving collaboration among departments in the area ofresearch. During her presentation, Futhey made passing mention of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act as an issue of concern facing OIT When she was asked to explain further, she joked, “If I did say a few words about the PATRIOT Act, the FBI might come and take me away.” Council members’ main point of concern was what is required oflibrarians who are summoned by the government to release information about Duke community members’ access ofmaterials. Provost Peter Lange noted that if a “librarian is approached by the FBI seeking the records of a particular person, the librarian is not permitted to inform the person that they have been so ap-

proached.”

Several members of the council asked what role University lawyers would take in protecting someone who refuses to release information about a particular person to the government, or violates the law forbidding communication of such a request. The council looked to President Nan Keohane for the University’s position. “It is a very important question, although not one we have yet had to face,” said Keohane. “The general answer to that question is if people are following their responsibilities and are subject to some kind of arrest in the line of duty, then we would support them. But in this case, we need to know a lot more about what’s going on here, and we will put it on the agenda right away.” Futhey also touted the Computer and Information Technology Intensive Environment program as a major step forward in making technology more accessible to students by emphasizing laptop computers as the preferred method of computing. She pointed to the übiquity of laptops —which now account for 90 percent of computer sales at the University Computer Store—and the popularity of wireless computing as indicators of the CITIE program’s results. “CITIE is a major effort that successfully, I believe, has brought technology much more into the forefront of students’ lives in terms ofwhen they think about what they do here at Duke,” Futhey said.

Parizade. George’s. Bully’s. Shooter’s. These monomial hotspots dominate the social atmosphere at Duke. Lately, however, flocks of students have been spurning the traditional Durham club scene to spend their nights at Grace’s, a spot of similar nomenclature but remarkably different atmosphere. Located in Trent Drive Hall off Erwin Road, Grace’s Cafe, which specializes in Chinese cuisine and American dishes, has recently become a student favorite. Despite losing about 100 neighbors and patrons when Trent was closed as a student dormitory last spring, business is booming, manager and owner, Jack Chao said. To meet the demand, Grace’s has acquired additional tables and chairs, is in the process of installing new flooring and is

even planning to add an entertainment system in the near future “We’re up 20 percent [from last year],” Chao said. “On Fridays and Sundays, a lot of students from Central Campus come over. Groups of students [of] eight or 10 people come in all at once. It often looks real busy and crowded.” Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst professed similar sentiments. “On a Friday night, there are about 200 people there,” Wulforst said. To take advantage of the crowds, Wulforst and Chao are looking to maximize the Grace’s experience. “We recendy made renovations to the large conference room next to the cafe.

Campus Council considers quiet hours again both “respectful and fair to students.” Vitarelli. a junior, said Director of ResidenceLife and Housing Services Eddie Hull asked the council to help determine a policy which students would honor and enjoy. Members plan to draft a resolution with possible changes, such as establishing noisetolerant hours on Central Campus like those currendy in place on East and West Campuses. The current quiet hours policy establishes designated noise tolerance hours for both of those campuses but requires that Central maintain quiet hours 24-hours a day. Members raised concerns over the inability for Central students to hold small social gatherings in their apartments on weekend nights because of the current regulations.

The group, however, hopes it can develop a system that can better foster community and yet resolve noise offenses without involving officers. “We should suggest students contact the roommate or an RA first,” Vitarelli said.

Some law students apply to private law firms dreaming of the luxury and prestige of a skyline-view office and a six-figure salary. Third-year Duke law student Robert Mays, however, will begin a clerkship for a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the eleventh circuit after graduation. Mays is among a relatively small number of Duke law graduates who take federal judicial clerkships or join the federal, state and local government direcdy after law school. Although only 3 to 5 percent of Duke's class go straight to work for the government, and approximately 15 to 20 percent opt for clerkships, career advisers at the School ofLaw say public-sector jobs can be very rewarding.

Indeed, a fair share of government entities have set foot on Duke’s campus to meet students, and many more have actively solicited law students' applications without even coming here, said Bruce Elvin, assistant dean for career services at the law school. Elvin said junior lawyers in government may be called upon to do work that more senior attorneys in private practice would do, which could give them invaluable experience. “A clear example is a litigator going to trial,” Elvin said. “It is not uncommon for relatively junior government lawyers to be up against law firm partners in court. Another example is when a securities lawyer may draft a prospec-

With the SEC, he or she might be involved in seeing that new securities laws are drafted and that they get passed by Congress and signed by the President.” Anne Akwari, assistant consulting professor at the law school’s office of career services, said Duke law graduates are highly ranked in the competition for government jobs. “Most students who seek these jobs don't make as much money as their law firm counterparts,” Akwari said. “They enjoy representing the American people, the people of their state or the people of their locality.” James Cox, Duke’s Brainerd Currie professor of law, advises graduates to first work for a firm, and after about two years consider a move to the government with a position that will play off experiences garnered in the private sector. tus

HART HOUSE from page 1 will be costly because the house still has its original wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems. In addition, the University must install air conditioning and ensure that the public spaces are accessible for visitors with disabilities. Other features will also face examination, such as vehicular access, landscaping and security. Burness said the University will bring in outside engineers, designers and architects to help modernize the house and will seek Brodhead’s input along the way. The project will be led by Trask, Vice President for Campus Services Kernel Dawkins and University Architect John Pearce. It will be funded through donations from Trustees. Keohane, who currently lives in the Knight House, said she saw great potential for the Hart House as a presidential residence. “I’ve been inside it once, and I think it’s going to be a wonderful president’s house,” she said. ‘The rooms have a nice flow, and there is nice space for dinner pardes.” She said she also saw the allure of having the president’s house closer by, as her own house in the Duke Forest is about a mile from campus. “When I was the president at Wellseley,

I was right on campus and it was very easy for people to come by,” she said. Burness noted that Brodhead, currendy dean of Yale College, comes from an institution where the president’s house is on campus. Keohane stressed that she and her husband, political science professor Robert Keohane, have loved living in the Knight House and have been able to host a number of successful events there, despite the distance. “I was at first concerned that people would have to drive or go through the forest to go to the Knight House, but people still made it,” she said. “My hunch is that we would have had a bigger turnout for some events—such as events or parties for students—if people could just walk over, but I don’t think we would have done different events than we’ve done.” The president’s proximity to campus was not the only factor in the Trustees’ decision to renovate the Hart House, Burness said. Also on their minds was the need to find a good use for the recently vacated building. The house was occupied by members of the Hart family until Mary Hart’s death in July 2000. Keohane said the Trustees’ decision to renovate the Hart House for Brodhead also coincided with the wishes of the late Mary Hart, who had hoped her house would one day become a presidential house.

TOM MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

The Knight House, where President Nan Keohane currently resides, will become a guest and meetingfacility. Burness added that the Trustees did the house into administrative offices, as has been the case with other former presidential houses. The University’s first and third presidents, Wiliam Few and Arthur Edens, lived on Campus Drive in what is now the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Robert Flowers, the second president, remained in his personal home at the end of Chapel Drive, now the Office ofAlumni Affairs. Trask said the Knight House, which was also home to Duke’s fifth and sixth presi-

dents, Douglas Knight and Terry Sanford, will probably be used as it was during Keith Brodie’s presidency after the Keohanes move out. Brodie, Keohane’s predecessor, decided to live in his own home, using the Knight House as a University guest house and conference facility. Brodhead said he looks forward to moving into the Hart House. “It’s a particularly lovely building, and it means a lot to me that students and faculty will be able to walk to our home from campus,” he said in a statement.

LAW STUDENTS from page 4 “The benefits of this are not just the wide range of experiences at the law firm that contribute to that steeper learning curve, but that it also better enables you as a government attorney to understand your future adversary,” Cox said. Mays, who plans to look for further opportunities with the federal government after his clerkship, said that in fairness, one has to be an atypical law student to be willing to make that trade. “Private law firms come to you, and the interview process is shamefully opulent,” Mays said. “Applying for a government job, on the other hand, involves a lot of leg work and is decidedly unglamorous. If you're lucky you might get a 20-minute phone interview.” Third-year law student Mayur Patel, who has applied for a year-long fellowship to work with the Solicitor General's office, is concerned that the pay in government will not be as competitive as the private sector in the long term. “I am sure it is a great feeling to serve your nation, and the unique nature of government work can compensate salary to some extent,” he said. “But it becomes a closer call in the long term when we have to wonder whetheryour choice will alfect your ability to afford your children's college education or your parents’ health care costs.” With a typical student debt load of over $BO,OOO after law school, it is no wonder that many aspiring attorneys dodge the public interest route. Tack that on to a 28 percent rise in cost of living, and you've got fewer and fewer students willing to turn down an average private practice starting salary of $90,000 for the $36,000 a public-interest job lands.

Walton said he hopes The Cafe can eventually expand to include an espresso bar, depending on the volume of business he sees. Business should not be a problem for the new company, as law school denizens were lined up “out the door, around the corner and up the stairs” the day the last eatery opened, Wulforst said. He speculated that The Cafe will

meet similar interest Monday.

The Cafe will open for breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and start serving lunch at 11 a.m., Walton said. Fresh-made sandwiches and certain hot items will be available until 3 p.m. and the venue will close at 4 p.m. Walton said he hopes he can also fill some of the law school’s on-site catering needs through The Catering Company, which is a full-service catering and event business. Walton was a history major while at Duke. Since he graduated in 1981, he has worked primarily in restaurants, gourmet foods and catering. He has been working with The Catering Company since he bought into it in 1998.

Jim Siedow presented proposed changes in the University’s Classified Research Policy. He said the proposed changes do not alter the basic guidelines of the current policy banning classified or restricted research using Duke facilities. “The sense of changing it to allow restricted research was something that the committee had no interest in whatsoever and felt that not doing classified or restricted research on philosophical grounds alone was something that Duke University should maintain,” he said. Professors are forbidden to do such work representing Duke, but they are allowed to do this work on an independent basis, although without the use of Duke’s facilities. Siedow said the new guidelines were designed to allow for “occasional or incidental” use of facilities on independent projects, so that professors were not constantly “feeling like they were running bootleg booze if they typed a letter or something” for their outside project. Many members posed questions on the specifics of the “occasional or incidental use” clause, citing examples in what Siedow called a “gray area.” The extended discussion led Chair Nancy Allen to postpone a vote on the proposed changes until the next council meeting.

Is your Professor Using the

Classroom as a Political Soapbox? This Is a Violation of Your Academic Rights. According to the American Association Of University Professors, the use ofclassrooms for political indoctrination is a violation of academic freedom. The 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure declared: "Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject." (This clause was reaffirmed in 1970.)

If you are not taking a course whose subject is the war in Iraq, your professor should not be making statements about the war in class. Or about George Bush, if the class is not on contemporary American presidents, presidential administrations or some similar subject. We do not expect our doctors to impose their political opinions on us when we go to them for treatment. We should likewise not be assaulted by the political prejudices of professors when we pay them for an education.

If your professor is abusing his or her teaching privilege or is confused about the professional obligations of an educator please contact us.

Vols’ Zolman has outside touch by

Robert Samuel

THE CHRONICLE

Is there anyone in college basketball that can defeat JJ. Redick in a three-point shooting contest? The answer is yes, and her name is Shanna Zolman. While the two sharp-shooters never competed direcdy, in the 2002 McDonald’s High School All-America game’s three-point contest Zolman knocked down more treys winning the women’s tide than Redick did in the men’s compeddon. Zolman’s performance two years ago at die McDonald’s event was far from a fluke, as the Syracuse, Ind., nadve torched all compeddon while at Wawasee High School. She broke the Indiana career scoring mark by finishing with 3,085 and averaging 33.2 points per game over her four years. “I feel like I’m shooting the ball in the ocean when I have a rhythm,” Zolman told the Knoxville-News Sendnel in explaining her scoring abilides. Once at Tennessee, the zone-buster disappointed few. Zolman was the only unanimous selecdon to the SEC’s AllFreshman team, and the broadcasting major surpassed the Lady Volunteer’s single season free-throw shooting percentage record by knocking down 58 ofher 65 attempts (89.2 percent). Zolman only averaged 7.5 points per game for the national runner-up Tennessee, but showed flashes of brilliance. The skilled guard scored 20 points in an away game at Volunteer-hating Vanderbilt, and she dropped a timely 15 points in the SEC championship game. But with the graduation of All-American Kara Lawson last spring, Zolman has found her place as the Volunteers’ go-to guard. “Shanna’s kind of taken over the Kara Lawson role,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “She just does whatever’s necessary. If they need a basket, she’s the one that’s going to make the right decisions whether it’s to shoot, penetrate or get it inside to one of their post players.” Zolman is the second leading scorer on the Tennessee team for the 2003-04 season, coming into the Duke game averaging 12.2 points per game. Zolman’s incredible shooting ability is far from a secret in the women’s college basketball world, so why does she continually find herself open? “She’s one of the smartest basketball players I’ve seen,”

Shanna Zolman dribblesaround Duke's Mistie Bass during last year's matchup between Duke andTennessee. Goestenkors said. “She makes great reads, she makes great cuts.” The No. 1 Blue Devils will look to limit Zolman’s influence as much as possible in their highly anticipated showdown with No. 2 Tennessee Saturday. “I feel like that’s going to be a key matchup for us,” Goestenkors said. “I think we’ve got to put a lot of pressure on her so she doesn’t get any looks because she is so good.”

VOLS from page 1 The Duke forward had been struggling shooting the ball and rebounding —but against the Terrapins Tillis played to her full potential. She netted 21 points and snatched eight rebounds in only 25 minutes of action. Goestenkors was relieved. “kiss let the game come to her,” Goestenkors said. “We have really been focusing on moving the ball the last couple of days. I think the more passes we make, the more comfortable everyone feels out there and she gets in the flow of the game. I was really happy for her. She has been working hard. I'm glad that the hard work has paid off for her.” But Tennessee hopes to counter Tillis and the rest of Duke’s frontcourt with center Ashley Robinson and forward Shyra Ely. Ely leads the team in points and rebounds, scoring 14.1 points and grabbing 8.1 boards per game. Ashley Robinson, a 6-5 center, leads the team with 2.5 blocks and averages 8.7 points per game. The tandem is the focal point of the Volunteer offense. “Everything works through their post,” Goestenkors acknowledged. “Ashley Robinson, she’s always been a finesse player, but she’s much more aggressive than I have ever seen her on both ends of the floor. Shyra Ely has played on the perimeter a great deal of her career and now [Summitt has] moved her into the post. She’s a very difficult matchup for anybody because she’s strong, she’s athletic, she’s quick, and everything really goes through her.” But forTennessee to win, it will have to find away to stop Beard. Last year’fc player of the year tweaked a groin muscle in practice Thursday and as a precaution played limited minutes in the Maryland blowout. But Duke’s star guard understands how big Saturday’s contest is. “The game is good for womens basketball,” Beard said. “I don’t think anyone had thought about it because we had Maryland to go and they were third in the ACC. Now it’s our time to start thinking about the Tennessee game and what we have to do.” It’s time to crown No. 1.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 23. 2004 113

POST PLAY from page 11 Terrapin’s top scorer Shay Doron—who finished with 17 points—missed a layup rebounded by

Bass. Bass made a lead pass to Alana Beard at half court, who missed on the drive to the basket. But Bass was there on the other end for the offensive rebound as well, Bass took a bounce and went right back up to make it a 12-8 game. On the very next possession, Doron’s frustrations continued as the double team by Currie and Vicki Krapohl pressured her into a turnover. Currie missed her breakaway layup off the steal but came down with her own rebound and put up a follow that fell for two. “We’ve really placed an emphasis on our rebounding this season and in particular our offensive rebounding,” a more-than-satisfied head coach Gail Goestenkors said. ‘The goal for the team that they set for themselves before this game was to get 20 offensive rebounds and they got 21.

So really it’s a huge focus.” Duke’s focus on the boards continued to pay off in the second half. Runs like the 7-0 run at the beginning of the second period continued to bury Maryland’s offense. The Blue Devils started a 16-0 run at the end of the first half that continued into the second half that put the final stamp on the Terrapins’ defeat. Numbers-wise, the team was perfecdy consistent in the second half, doubling their secondchance points—tallying 26 overall—while Maryland gained only two more. This is a perfect time for Duke’s inside play to be hot. Tennessee, potentially the most dangerous team the Blue Devils will face this season, is an inside-powered team and Duke will need to win each matchup in the post to be successful. “It’s going to be a great matchup,” Goestenkors said. “I think their post game is their strength. They have tremendous guards and great shooters as well but they run everything through their post.”

MARYLAND from page 11 Maryland fell behind by 23 and did not score again until a Chrissy Fisher trey with 16:44 left in the second half. The only suspenseful moment in the second half had nothing to do with the game. As a precautionary move, coach Gail Goestenkors pulled star Alana Beard out with an apparent injury midway through the second half. “She strained her groin in practice yesterday or the day before,” Goestenkors said. “We just wanted to give her as much rest as possible. We didn’t want to have her strain it anymore than she had already.” With Beard hampered by her injury, Tillis’ outburst was needed.

She cited some advice from coach Goestenkors as one of the reasons she was able to mentally break out of her shooting slump. “I just didn’t think during the game,” Tillis said. “I just went out there and played.” Beard felt that the Blue Devils need solid performances from Tillis. “I totally believe that we can’t win a national championship without Iciss and I kept giving her encouraging words and letting her know that I was there for her,” she said. With five minutes left in the game, Goestenkors pulled all of her starters. Reserve Caitlin Howe took advantage her seven minutes of playing time, hitting a jumper with four minutes left. Howe has been sidelined for much of her Duke career after ACL surgeries.

f^@v/ Duke University Improv alumnus, Seth Weitberg, returns from Chicago to present, The John Doe Project. The show takes a hard look at characters that grow out of our worst insecurities, inner fears or hatreds, and most joyous taboos, blows them up and sticks them in your face, leaving you with no choice other than to laugh. In each one shines the glint of endearment, but also broad strokes of the things in others that agitate you the most. This show is an opportunity to laugh at those we want to laugh at, hate on those on which we want to hate, and revel in the world of quirks and insecurities that we all have.

THE CHRONICLE

The Chronicle The Independent Daily

Duke University

Legacy policy should survive

the wake ofTexas A&M University’s decision to abolish its preferential admissions policy for relatives of alumni, some have questioned the treatment of legacy applicants at Duke. The admissions process at any University is an easy target for criticism,, as its STAFF E stated purpose is to relegate people into two groups—accepted and denied. While the process is a necessary one, it inevitably breeds negative speculation when characteristics like achievement, race and legacy status are used as evaluative criterion. Giving legacy applicants an edge over non-legacies may seem unfair from the outside. However, the larger benefits reaped by the University and its students from a strong sense of institutional commitment outweigh other considerations. A great deal of animosity toward the preferential treatment of legacy applicants is rooted in the common misconception that a significant number of severely underqualified students are admitted to Duke expressly due to their legacy status. A few exceptional cases notwithstanding, this notion is simply false. Legacy status most often comes into play when evaluating applicants of similar qualifications. At a school as competitive as Duke, and given the difficulty of assessing a person through college application materials, there will often be little reason to admit one individual while denying another. In such situations, it makes sense to accept the student with prior connections to the University, whose families have obviously demonstrated a great deal of institutional commitment to Duke. This idea of institutional com-

Est. 1905

mitment may seem far-fetched at first, but it is a major component of success for Duke, as it strives to bolster its national and inter-

national reputation. Schools like Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and Yale have attained their superstar status largely because their alumni maintain such intimate connections with their college long after they graduate, supporting the school financially, and encouraging their children and relatives to attend. The fact that alumni want their kids to be educated here is a compliment to the University, and an important step in building up Duke’s alumni foundation. With these positive corollaries to the legacy policy in mind, it is necessary to acknowledge that the amount of money given by a legacy applicant’s family is a factor in admissions decisions. A family with a strong contribution history has an extremely good chance of seeing their children admitted. This may appear less than just to some, but is important to remember the significance of alumni donations to the livelihood of many of Duke’s programs—especially the need-based financial aid that allows students in need of economic assistance to attend this University. From a practical perspective, the University gains more than it loses when it comes to granting an edge to legacy applicants, and to a degree, their acceptances con-

tribute to the ability of other students to attend as well.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is correct in keeping its legacy admissions policy intact. Institutional commitment is essential to Duke in multiple areas, the least of which being prestige and support for its financial future.

Line policy for Tennessee game This Saturday at 6 p.m., the #l-ranked Duke women’s basketball team hosts the #2 Tennessee Lady Volunteers in what should be one of the most anticipated matchups of the year in Cameron Indoor Stadium. For this game, there will be a special line policy in effect. All graduate and undergraduate students who have picked up student general admission tickets to the game may line up on the sidewalk that runs next to Card Gym and Wilson Recreation Center. The lines will be self-regulated, but line monitors will be around for most of the afternoon to maintain order. Those students who do not have tickets may form a secondary line on the sidewalk perpendicular to Cameron

that runs out towards Towerview Road. Although the game is sold out, we anticipate being able to fit in many students that do not have tickets. This will be an exciting game, with the top two teams in the country facing-off against each other and with Alana Beard’s number 20 being retired as well. I hope to see you all in Cameron on Saturday to pack the stands to cheer our women to victory! If you have questions, please email me at

Don’t sterotype sororities In response to Shadee Malaklou’s columns,

they just need to stop. While her underlying

message of individuality for Duke women is admirable, the way in which she “advises” the women is not. First came the ardcle about being promiscuous and dropping the pearls for the stilettos. I let that slide. Unfortunately, I have been Judged many times concerning my sexual behavior, my dancing on tables, and my wardrobe. But guess what? I deal with it. I don’t have to write an article making myself feel better for my actions. I don’t need to tell my fellow classmates to do what I do, simply so that I won’t be looked at as a tramp. I just accept that everyone has been raised differently, and no matter how many times you tell people to worship Victoria’s Secret or carry a black book, it won’t change anything. This entire notion of “collar-popping” and pearls is 'certainly seen at Duke, but what about the girls like me, who wear sweatpants to class? Am I a minority? Looking around my classes, I think not. But I didn’t say anything about Malaklou’s comments the Duke student body did for me. Then came the article about sororities. Guess what Shadee, I’m in one. In fact, one that you attempted to tear apart. It’s strange to me that someone who has been at this school for a few months and not gone through recruitment is telling everyone how awful it is. Who’s being the judge now? I’ll admit, when recruitment began, I was a skeptic. Going from room to room meeting girls seemed to me like a bitter hell. And, well, it was pretty close. But much like studying for a test is hell until you get a good grade; the end result of recruitment was -

amazing. Until then, I did not know many girls on this campus, but after a week of being “herded,” I joined a sorority where I was accepted. I now have a new group of friends that I would not have met were it not for this “disgusting process.” And these girls aren’t just drinking partners. They are girls that listen to my problems and would leave fornicating on a dance floor to take me home in a heartbeat. They are girls who console me when I have problems at home. They are girls who will call me just to talk, not because they need something from me. And I would do the same for them. Because that’s what sororities are, Shadee. A family, where there are things you like and hate, but most of all a group of people you can on. because I’m in a sorority doesn’t mean my black book is ln fact,'it’s doubled. I don’t own anything pink, but I’ll be honest with you, stilettos hurt my feet. And what is this idea that blondes rule? I’m ethnic and proud ofit. Being Greek and Italian, I have curves, and a lot of them. I sure as hell am not a size two, and if I was, I’d just buy another Big Mac. I am an individual and I don’t feel the need to conform. This school has made me love myself and my uniqueness even more. It just hurts me that someone else proud of her individuality is a hypocrite. While she promotes a message of individuality, it seems that she wants people to adopt her standards, rather than cherishing their own. count

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Panhellenic Council

defends rush procress In response to Joost Bosland’s column in Thursday’s paper: It never ceases to amaze me how folks with no ties to the sorority community become such experts about it! Really, Bosland, as a sophomore male, how did you do it? Did you bug our phone to listen in on crosscountry conferences to decide our registration policy? Did you hide in the kitchen until 1 a.m. all those nights as I weeded out space points events and edited recruitment rules? Or was that you in the blond wig at the Infraction Workshop? You sure are sneaky.But as an expert on Panhellenic life and a man who evidently reads the “greekspeak” dictionary religiously, why do you insist on calling it "Rush"? Even our youngest members know that term is outdated and inappropriate for the process today. I truly appreciate your insight. As the Vice President of Membership for the Duke Panhellenic Association, I oversee all aspects of Formal and Informal Recruitment, and yet you still managed to enlighten me! I had no idea that our numbers were “down” this year! In fact, I was under the naive impression that since they matched averages from the past five years, that meant we were holding steady. But maybe as a math major I'm a little rusty at calculating a mean. To the woman who chose Delta Gamma over TriDelta, such a scandal you have created! To choose one group of beautiful, intelligent women over another group of beautiful, intelligent women! Next time, don’t be so discriminating. I’m not exactly sure why so many non-greek columnists have decided to put in their (negative) two cents about sorority recruitment this semester. I do know that most of their conceptions are misguided by an innocent lack of perspective. If you would like to spend some time in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life with me or any other member of the Panhellenic Executive Council, please let us know. Indeed, we all have “impressive resumes and lively spirits,” but most importantly, a valid perspective on Greek life.

cussed whether it was right for Truman to drop the bomb. He felt it was justified and offered some glowing words of praise for Harry Truman. It sort of blew me away this man had heard Roosevelt and Truman, men I had only read about, address the nation. I told him about fellow World War II veterans I had had the honor of meeting over the years, including a member of the Indianapolis. The man motioned over to his friend who had so far been pretty silent and said, “He was on the Indianapolis.” (Any history buff or Jaws aficionado knows the Indianapolis was a ship that was sunk in the Pacific where the sailors who survived were left in the water. For the next several days, they were surrounded by Great White sharks before they were finally rescued). I had a history teacher who always told his class whenever you meet a veteran that the one thing you should do is thank him for serving for his country. At the end of the Senator’s speech, my friend and I got up to go back to the dorm. I remembered to shake the man’s hand and thanked him for the years of his youth he gave up to serve his country. When my friend and I went outside I asked him if he could imag-

ine himself at age 20 dropping out of Duke and going half way across the world to fight a war. Neither of us could. Over my life I had met men who lied about their age to serve in Europe and men who put aside their Biology and Economics degrees for a few years to risk their lives, fully aware they might never return to receive their diplomas. It will not be long before these World War II veterans—the men who experienced Pearl Harbor, Iwo Jima and Midway—will no longer be around to tell their tales. And while our main concerns in life currendy deal with grades and major declarations and what fraternity or sorority party is going on, perhaps we should all consider what it would be like to push that all to the side and worry about having to be in a trench fighting for our country. I think after that day I have a new appreciation for those who gave the years of their youth to their country while I myself am current experiencing those years. And for that very reason the veterans of days long ago should be all the more cherished.
