Experts help Duke fight ‘brain drain’ by Cindy Yee THE CHRONICLE

After years of watching most Duke students leave the area for the bright lights of big cities like New York, Duke administrators are hoping to entice more students to stay in the Triangle area. The region’s draw seems to be rooted in its ample employment

opportunities, especially

for those in the high technology and biomedical arenas. And although many students are unaware of the full extent of the Triangle’s resources, local residents attest that the region is a good place not only to work but also to live. Now, Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, wants to know just how much Durham and the Triangle remain of interest to students

once they graduate. He said that recent conversations with Reyn Bowman, president and CEO of the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Thomas White, president of the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, have turned to the region’s ability and efforts to retain students, “We’ve been raising questions about ‘brain drain’ and whether we should be more assertive in encouraging students to stay in Durham or in the Triangle,” Moneta said, noting that the issue has risen more out of curiosity than a sense of crisis, To help with the assessment, Mbneta has enlisted Todd Hoffman, president of Campus Visit, Inc., whose company has SEE BRAIN DRAIN ON PAGE 7

later, you’ve finally made it out of Duke, and .it’s time to see the world. So where will it be Paris? London? L.A.? How about... Durham? With rising tuition costs and a greater pressure to go pre-professional than ever, the City of Medicine, once something of a post-graduation hot spot, has been on a downward spiral in the eyes of exiting Blue Devils. But for Barbara Williams, Trinity ’74, the decision was a no-brainer. “It was a choice between leaving Durham, or staying and being with the man I had fallen in love with,” she said. After opting to stick around, Williams launched a career in publishing. ‘When I decided to marry in 1984, I knew I was committing to living in the Durham area and haven’t regretted it,” she said. “Durham is of a size to encourage connections among various groups without the ‘fishbowl effect’ I’ve ob—

served in smaller towns. Graduate students from all over the world enlarge my horizons; acquaintances from families who’ve been here for generations connect to deep roots.” John Valentine,Trinity ’7l, and co-founder of The Regulator on Ninth Street says “good weather and good basketball” drew him to Duke originally, but, like Williams, the allure of Durham made him stay. “It’s a wonderfully supportive community,” Valentine said. “At that time in the early 1970s we were really just a bunch of hippies, we all just wanted to move to the country,. start small businesses... you know, drop out for a while. Durham had a lot of cheap rent—there were a lot of co-op houses.” The laidback mindset, however, seems either to have vanished or withered, as most Dukies, it seems, are now more career-oriented.

Iraqi elections planned for next year by Warren Hoge NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

SecretaryUNITED NATIONS General Kofi Annan said Monday that credible national elections could be held in Iraq by the end of this year or early in 2005, but only if planning a framework for them began immediately. In a report to the Security Council that portrayed Iraq as a country in deepening crisis, Annan said his special envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, and a team of U.N. elections experts had determined during a one-week trip there that it would take until May to set up that framework and then at least eight months from that point to organize the elections.

His report, written by Brahimi, said it was urgent that the Iraqis establish an independent election commission to come up with the technical and legal rules and structure for a national vote. The current American plan had envisioned full elections by the end of 2005. While Annan said it was important to hold to the agreed June 30 deadline for the occupying powers to hand over authority in Iraq, he pointedly did not make any recommendation on what form of caretaker government ought to be created by that date. He said defining the mechanism for transferring sovereignty would be up to the Iraqis themselves.

Reiterating in his presentation that the report’s conclusions were based on the “Iraqi consensus,” Annan pledged U.N. assistance throughout the elections process. In that connection, Brahimi is expected to return to Baghdad next month. Brahimi, a former Algerian foreign minister who recently completed two years as the U.N. envoy to Afghanistan, described Iraq darkly as a country of growing ethnic tensions that, unless urgently addressed, “could fuel the existing potential for civil strife and violence.” SEE

Army halts work on helicopter project by Leslie Wayne NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

The Pentagon announced the cancelation of the $3B billion Comanche helicopter program Monday, a weapons system from the Cold War era that was decades behind in development and that became a victim to new technology and rising concerns over military costs and the federal budget deficit. The decision brings an end to a program that began in 1983 and has, so far, cost $8 billion, but has yet to produce a single operational craft. Moreover, the Comanche, a heavily armed reconnaissance helicopter, was designed for operations against massive

Soviet and Warsaw Pact armies and has been overtaken by the Army’s need for lighter and more flexible aircraft to fight against terrorists and guerrillas. “It’s a big decision,” said Gen. Peter Schoomaker, the Army chief of staff. “We know it’s a big decision. But it’s the right decision.” The cancellation must be approved by Congress when it reviews the Pentagon’s budget for the 2005 fiscal year, which includes money for the Comanche. But many observers say the helicopter program lacks widespread support in Congress that many other weapons

Christian diet advocacy groups using a paradigm of spiritual perfection are performing the religious equivalent of running a campaign to stop sexual harassment with funding from a wet t-shirt contest, said professor May Louise Bringle. “’Look at yourself,’” Bringle said, quoting “Free To Be Thin,” by Neva Coyle, founder of Overeaters Victorious. “’You’re thin and gorgeous for Jesus.... You’re no longer a chump for a plateful of cookies. Your taste is fixed on higher things. Let the fat people eat the cookies. You eat the word of God and pray for the fat people.’” As part of the kickoff to Celebrating Our Bodies Week, a program sponsored by the Women’s Center, the Student Health Center and other campus organizations, Bringle criticized Christianity’s role in perpetuating disordered eating among women. Bringle, who teaches philosophy and religion at Brevard College, drew on the historical approaches of the Christian church to food and eating, fact sheets declaring the magnitude of eating disorders in the United States, and her own six-year struggle with bulimia to convey the severity of the problem. While Bringle addressed the wide variety of factors that contribute to eating disorders among women—among them physiological, emotional, cultural and political—she focused on the role religion plays in creating a culture in which disorders emerge. Chair of the humanities division at Brevard, Bringle is the author of “The God of Thinness: Gluttony and Other Weighty Matters.” Opening with the poem “Heavy,” by Victor Buono, which cites eating as “the oldest sin of all,” Bringle explained that the poem illustrates the ambivalence in American culture and in the Christian church about eating and body issues. Historically, female saints were often anorexic, Bringle said, “starving themselves to the glory of God.” “Modern day anorexics are pursuing a spiritual goal as well,” Bringle said. “We —they want to be perfect.” The $1.5 billion annual Christian weight loss industry expenditure manifests most explicitly Christianity’s role in reinforcing unhealthy approaches to eating, Bringle said. Books like ‘The Weigh Down Diet” and “3D: Diet, Discipline and Discipleship” argue that being overweight represents a spiritual deficit and promote diets that range from focusing on prayer and ignoring nutrition to centering on food measurements and weight. Alexis Strong, a junior and peer educator for ESTEEM, explained that while she is not personally very religious, she was drawn to the lecture anyway. “Spiritual healing is the larger part, and the harder —

May Louise Bringle of Brevard College spoke Monday on how religion helps create a harmful image of women. part, in recovering from an eating disorder,” Strong said. Sophomore Katie Lewis also said she identified with many of Bringle’s comments. “I don’t really consider myself to have a problem with eating, but it’s so ingrained in the Duke culture that I feel it’s sort of become just part of the way I live,” she said. Bringle ended by emphasizing the potential for both Christianity and American society to eliminate the corruption ofconsumerism and its influence on body image. “Christianity could and should be a resource for vibrant health, instead of a resource for discrimination and pain,” Bringle said.

Dan Hill of the Hill, Chesson and Woody insurance firm addressed health insurance concerns of the Graduate and Professional Student Council Monday night. Hill, a founding member of the firm that brokers insurance for Duke students, said he expects health insurance premiums, currently $1,063 per year for those who purchased insurance from Duke, to increase by about 15 percent this year. Premiums increased 17.4 percent last year, and 20 percent in 2002. Hill attributed the rising costs to increasing prices in the medical industry. “The rate of inflation in medical care is... a national problem,” Hill said. “When you add up increasing medical costs, pharmaceutical prices and government mandates, you should expect a 15 percent increase [in premiums]. For all the technology, all the advances in health care, you’re seeing people living longer, as well as increased health care costs.” Rob Saunders, GPSC president and chair of the health insurance subcommittee, said that the Insurance Advisory Committee, made up of undergraduates and faculty as well as graduate and professional students, will meet with Hill next week to vote on next year’s insurance plan. Saunders said that the committee had increased the copay rate from 10 to 20 percent to control premium costs in past years. “I hoped [the rate] would be less,” Saunders said, adding that official changes in the insurance plan will not be known until after the Insurance Advisory Committee meets with Hill next week. ‘The health insurance market is always in a state of flux.” GPSC representatives asked Hill how long premiums would continue to increase, arguing that they could not afford to pay much more. All Duke students are required to have health insurance, and while most undergraduates are still covered by their parents’ plans, graduate and professional students typically purchase insurance from Duke and by extension, Hill, Chesson and Woody. Hill countered by saying that his firm’s rates were competitive compared to other firms’. “We do go to the marketplace for you,” he said, adding that Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the insurance that Hill, Chesson and Woody broker to Duke for its student health plans, is among the best in the country. When students voiced reservation that Blue Cross/Blue Shield, traditionally a nonprofit organization, had made considerable profits recently, Hill responded that SEE INSURANCE ON PAGE

Anesthesia program offers unique approach Margaux Kanis

the chronicle

As the nationwide nursing shortage continues to be a chief concern among medical and health centers, Duke’s School of Nursing has leaped into action. Its nurse anesthesia program, which is entering its fourth year, is attracting potential nurse anesthetists from all around the country with its unique educational and clinical approach. Ranked sixth in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, the nurse anesthesia program is designed for those who have a bachelor’s degree in nursing and would like to earn a master’s degree in

anesthesiology. It was developed three years ago through a partnership between Duke and Durham Regional Hospital as one solution to the critical nurse anesthetist shortage throughout North Carolina and the country. Durham Anesthesia Associates and Ruth Long, chief anesthesiologist, formulated a plan to attack the problem. With the vision and support of Dean of the Nursing School Mary Champagne, the program materialized. “We really have outstanding and highly recommended professionals who are de-

veloping and improving this program. It’s took a multi-team approach and it is definitely well-planned,” said Long, the organizer of the nurse anesthesia program. “We’re going to be ranked number one. We won’t stop until we do.” Although 89 other health care institutions and universities throughout the nation have similar programs, Duke remains unique in its Patient Simulation Lab. All students are required to spend one day a week for two years in a mock operating room equipped with an anesthesia machine in order to gain experience. Students can put “Stan,” the dummy patient, to sleep and observe reactions to medications they would be administering to patients in real life situations. Faculty member Frank Titch is most enthusiastic about students’ access to the lab. “Few programs in the country offer such an opportunity for students to practice and learn these new skills in a controlled, safe, non-threatening environment. The nursing staff offers tremendous support for the students,” he said. In addition to earning 56 credits in the required courses including advanced pharmacology, chemistry, physics and physiology, clinical work is expected. On average,

students spend 32 hours per week in the operating room. They are paired up with a nurse anesthetist and gain hands-on experience. The program incorporates extensive clinical rotations at over 10 sites in North Carolina including Duke, Durham Regional, the University of North Carolina, the Veterans Affairs, the Davis Surgical Center and other various rural and community hospitals. Directors of the program are currently looking to add additional sites to the clinical rotation schedule. “By the time the students graduate, they will have worked in every type of clinical setting,” Long added. “Our standards are high and we know they will be the best when we’re done.” Students also experience video-linked lectures from internationally renowned speakers in the nurse anesthesia arena. Both current and former students concurred that the academic environment is outstanding. “We received close individual attention and support form our faculty...and consequently, we developed a very close and supportive bond among us,” said David Fabrizio, a student from the inaugural class. This year, the program was extended from 24 to 27 months due to requirement

ofAccreditation. The nurse anesthetist program is quite competitive. Faculty and program administrators attribute this to the rigorous selection process its students undergo. Each year over 100 applications are received, but only 15 students are accepted into the program. A minimum GPA of 3.5 is recommended along with exceptional GRE scores and interviews. Before earning a masters degree, one must be a registered nurse and have one to three years experience in an intensive care unit. “We look for maturity and a strong background as indicators for success in this program,” said Program Director Mary Karlet. “The students are of the highest quality and are getting better every year.” Karlet also attributes the impressive caliber of the applicant pool to Duke’s reputation of excellent quality patient care, education and research throughout the country. Titch has much hope for the future of this program and knows the strong education offered is a reflection of top-down leadership. “If the leadership is strong, SEE ANESTHESIA ON PAGE 7

During these periods, users will be able to send and read existing e-mail messages, but will not be able to receive new messages.

Bush goes on offensive without naming names Richard Stevenson

President George WASHINGTON W. Bush kicked off his general election campaign Monday night, shedding his above-the-fray posture to deliver a robust defense of his record and begin an assault on the Democratic front-runner, Sen. John Kerry. Facing declining poll numbers and concerted Democratic criticism, and urged by many Republicans to accelerate his timetable for partisan engagement, Bush used a speech here to assert that the election would present a clear choice between his steady leadership and Democrats who could not be relied on to make the tough decisions necessary to deal with the economy and the threat from terrorism. “It’s a choice between keeping the tax relief that is moving this economy forward, or putting the burden of higher taxes on the American people,” Bush said. “It’s a choice between an America that leads the world with strength and confidence, or an America that is uncertain in the face of danger.” Without using Kerry’s name, the president mocked him as a politician whose positions change with the wind. The Democratic field, Bush said, is “for tax cuts and against them. For NAFTA and against NAFTA. For the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act. In favor of liberating Iraq and against it. And that’s just one senator from Massachusetts.” The speech, delivered at a fund-raiser to benefit the Republican Governors Association, was billed by Bush’s campaign as the start of a more aggressive phase of the race after months in which the presi-

dent, to the growing consternation of some in his party, had remained largely on the sidelines. Much of the speech was forward-looking. It sought to position Bush as optimistic and steady in the face of serious challenges to the country and relentless attacks by Democrats who, the president said, have failed to say how they would deal with the challenges the United States faces at home and abroad. “Our opponents have not offered much in the way of strategies to win the war, or policies to expand our economy,” he said, sounding a theme similar to one his aides had tried out when it appeared that Howard Dean would be the Democratic nominee. “So far, all we hear is a lot of old bitterness and partisan anger. Anger is not an agenda for the future ofAmerica.” But his message that his party was taking the high road was undercut by a member ofhis Cabinet, Rod Paige, the secretary of education. In remarks to the nation’s governors at the White House earlier in the day, Paige called the National Education Association, a longtime ally of the Democrats, a “terrorist organization” because it was resisting provisions of the education bill that Bush signed into law in 2001. Bush, who has told Republican officials weeks that he was eager to begin recent in defending himself, was himself biting at times in his portrayal ofhis opponents. Referring to Democrats who opposed the war in Iraq despite supporting the policy, adopted under the Clinton administration, of removing Saddam Hussein from power, Bush said, “Maybe they were hoping he’d lose the next Iraqi election.” In an indirect slap at Kerry, who in a

he would never “outsource” national security to other governments. Kerry has since said his view have changed. Bush’s political advisers said the speech was likely to be as close the president comes to formally declaring his candidacy. Bush decided to go ahead with it, they said, after getting bad reviews even from some of his own supporters in two recent highprofile appearances, his one-hour interview this month on NBC’s news program “Meet the Press” and his State of the Union address last month. Even before Bush delivered his speech, Kerry struck back. In an appearance in New York, the Massachusetts Democrat said he had Bush “on the run” even before Democrats settle for certain on their nominee. He said the president had failed on the economy, had pursued a “reckless” foreign policy and was practicing “crony capitalism and crony government.” In a statement issued after Bush’s speech, Kerry said: “George Bush’s credibility is running out with the American people. They want change in America, and I’m running because I am determined to bring that change and put America back on track.” While Bush never mentioned Kerry by name, his campaign openly said it was now focused on him as its probable opponent, and spent much of the day trying to exploit Kerry’s long record of votes in the Senate to paint him as weak on national security. In focusing exclusively on Kerry as an opponent, Bush’s aides risk making a mistake should Kerry falter and the Democ-

John Edwards of North Carolina. In a statement, Edwards said the election is “not about John Kerry’s past or the president’s past. This election is about the future, and the new ideas we have that will change America so that it works for all of us.” Bush invoked the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks several times in casting the election as a big choice for the American people. He sought to dispel rumors that he might drop Vice President Dick Cheney from the ticket, joking that he had again put Cheney in charge of his vice presidential search and that Cheney had come up with the same recommendation he made in 2000. The speech got rousing applause at several points from the audience of Republican donors and governors, including the president’s brother, Jeb Bush of Florida, and the newest Republican star, Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. Bush has gradually become more involved in the day-to-day decision making in his campaign. The campaign’s advertising team went to the White House two weeks ago to film the president for appearances in his upcoming television commercials. One senior White House official said Bush has been having a “rolling conversation” with his political strategists in recent weeks about how to proceed as Dean’s candidacy collapsed and Kerry emerged as the front-runner. Bush’s media team moved forward Wednesday with plans to purchase advertising time, asking stations about rates in 17 swing states, the vast majority of which were decided by 5 percentage points of the vote or less in 2000. Among them were Florida, New Hampshire and Wisconsin.

get a sense of what’s going on in Durham,” his next step will be to help present the region’s attributes in away that appeals to students. “We need to identify student zones—places where students would go but not necessarily where they live or study—and then we recast these places in a student’s mindset,” Hoffman said. “Is there a place to go shopping that’s fun but not a mall? Is there something historical within a 45-minute drive? Where do students go for the experiences they yearn for at different times of the year?” Hoffman noted that students must be engaged with the city from their very first visit to the area. “At institutions like Duke, most students come from outside the region, so we need to establish a connection to the region early on, beginning with the admissions process,” he said. “Prospective students need to develop an appreciation for campus but also for what’s beyond the campus gates.” Once students have decided to enroll at the University, Hoffman said, they must be further engaged through city interactions such as employment, the local music scene or service learning opportunities. “After they’ve gotten to develop a link and personal bond and fondness for the region, hopefully when it comes time to think about where they want to go when the graduate, the Triangle will be a place to consider staying in,” he said. Hoffman noted that Durham is smaller than other cities he has worked with but that this aspect could bring its own advantages. “There are fewer players to connect, so we can probably get more done faster,” he said. Both Hoffman and Bowman noted a gap between students’ perceptions of Durham’s resources and the true availability of the same—a factor that could discourage some students from staying in the region after graduation.

INSURANCE from page 3 profitable health insurance firms translated into lower rates, arguing that firms losing money will raise rates to compensate.

Director of Student Health Bill Christmas also addressed concerns about student health care at the meeting. He said that his department had completed a preliminary budget, and did not anticipate an increase in the student health fee, which is currently estimated to be about $520. Christmas discussed plans for restructuring student health, presenting a new model that would involve dividing student health administration into an executive director, a medical director and an administrative director. Christmas also said he was considering adding parking for students along Flowers Drive just in front of the student clinic, but added that securing those spots might be difficult because many well-established faculty favor them.

Upon graduation from this program, all students take a certification exam and then gain the ability to begin work in an outpatient clinic or hospital. To date, the Duke program has had a 100 percent passing rate and employment offers. Funding is provided by a federal Health Resources ServicesAdministration educational grant and student tuition.

“There’s a lot of misinformation that occurs during a student’s time in Durham,” Bowman said. “Some of it is just a natural tendency to think of things as greener on the other side of the fence, and some is a natural tendency to be a little condescending about the community a’school is in, which is true nationwide. But our challenge is to provide better, more accurate information up front.” Bowman acknowledged that, even given better communication about the region’s resources, many students will still want to leave. “Some folks want to live abroad; some want much larger cities,” he said. “We just want to be appealing to everyone who’s interested in this type of

community.”

Donna Harner, associate director of the Career Center, said a “surprising number” of Duke students stick

around after graduation. Of last year’s graduating class, 22 percent of those who got jobs went to New York and 12 percent to Washington, D.C. In a close third was North Carolina, which attracted 11 percent, beating out Georgia and California. Although a number of students who stay in North Car-

olina travel to places such as Charlotte—one of the nation’s financial capitals —Harner said most of those who stay in-state live and work in the Triangle area, where research opportunities abound for those considering graduate or professional school. ‘There are a lot of opportunities around here for undergraduates coming out of Duke,” Harner said. “When you have an opportunity to do research or work in the Research Triangle area, where some of the best opportunities for research are, it is unwise to go someplace else to gain experience that is not as good or competitive.” White noted that Durham is creating jobs at a high rate as it brings in more companies like Merck Pharmaceuticals and IBM. Despite Durham’s ample job openings for recent graduates, Moneta said he saw room to improve opportunities for current students. ‘We don’t do a good enough job at providing internship opportunities for students in the region,” he said. ‘We could be doing a better job at leveraging our relationships with all these national agencies that are located in RTP, the byproduct of which could be that more people will want to stay here.”

It could be there’s data [from DUSDAC] we haven’t seen, but the SA committee did not see enough Monday night to pass a resolution.” Without a resolution crafted for Wednesday’s meeting, the issue of ARAMARK’s continued service will likely come up for a floor vote, in which no official recommendation is offered but a vote on the issue takes place. DUSDAC will offer a brief presentation at the meeting about the state of ARAMARK Meanwhile, ECC, the governing body for first-year residential life, passed a resolution late Monday night expressing “grave concerns” about the food quality and variety at the Marketplace, following a meeting with ARAMARK’s Resident District Manager David Randolph. After soliciting feedback from members of the freshmen class about their experiences and opinions of the Marketplace, the residential group boiled the issue down to quality of ingredients and variety offood served at the dining hall, which pri-

In a document obtained by The Chronicle and signed by co-chairs ofDUSDAC— Emma Batchelder and Sean Biederman, who is also a writer for Recess —the dining committee lists several normative reasons to discontinue .ARAMARK as the primary' manager ofcampus eateries. The memorandum states, “[Feedback from East Campus is [n]egative; West Campus feedback is lukewarm,” and, “ARAMARK has not added a discernible level of value or excitement” to the University. The memo lacks any numerical information or details of student feedback. The Student Affairs Committee, which is responsible for proposing resolutions about dining services on campus to the entire Senate, determined that without substantive evidence of students’ opinions, it would not endorse DUSDAC’s

suggestion. ‘The Student Affairs Committee, after a half hours of deliberation, decid-

ECC’s resolution also states that students are unhappy with the food at the Marketplace, citing the 72 percent of freshmen who described the Marketplace’s food quality as poor or fair in a recent ECC survey, which was distributed to all freshmen but yielded only 225 responses. Members of both DSC and the ECC expressed concerns over ARAMARK’s fiscal accountability. Randolph has repeatedly said that the company has not turned a profit at Duke and has in fact “gone in the red every year.” However, the company refuses to release information from its financial ledger, student officials said. “I think there’s a lot of numbers floating around and students were not able to get information,” said ECC Chair Joel Kliksberg of the corporation’s profits or losses at the University. ECC officials hope DSC legislators will

consider their recommendations during Wednesday’s vote even though the resolution carries no official influence in the larger governing body. “ECC is not in a position to decide among ARAMARK’s future,” Kliksberg said. “It does want to convey that there’s a serious problem with the quality and variety of food at the Marketplace.” Without an endorsement by an internal committee, representatives in DSG will be forced to rely on their own understanding of their peers’ satisfaction with the dining services and their trust in ARAMARK’s promises to guide their votes. Randolph has continually pledged the company’s commitment to Duke. “We want to be here bad,” he said. “It’s a unique environment and we think we can bring quite a bit.” If DSG returns a vote of no confidence Wednesday night, then Dining Services will reevaluate its agreement with ARAMARK in light of student opinion. “I really strongly encourage all students with a vested interested in dining, one way or another, to come and speak for it [at the DSG meeting],” Dixon said. “The idea here is not to punish or reward a company but rather to voice the needs of a student body.” sufficient support among option any longer.” Complaints about that plan from local politicians and spiritual leaders caused the United States to ask Annan last month to assess election possibilities and recommend alternatives.

DURHAM from page 1 decision to leave Durham after graduation has more to do with employment than anything else. “I see myself entering the work force after graduating... I have connections in Florida, Atlanta, [Washington,] D.C. and Detroit—things that are already half-way in place—l set that up before I came here,” he said. Peter Blair, an international transfer student from the University of Bahamas double-majoring in physics and economics, said that after attending graduate school, he would like to live in the North. “I’m looking for more of a cosmopolitan area... public transportation, international airport, more art museums, cafes... more of a life that revolves around young professionals,” Blair said. Although some students ache for an area with more cultural stimulation, Williams, on the other hand, lauded Durham’s venues for oft-overlooked creativity and life. “I used to go to D.C. for galleries and a dose of city

energy, but this area has grown so much in both size and cultural scope —partially due to immigration from the Northeast—that I no longer find it provincial,” she said. “[My] younger friends report similar engagement with living here.” Some students beg to differ. Jamaal Brown, a Pratt senior who is planning on attending business school after graduating from Duke, also cited Durham’s lack of a strong social scene for post-graduates as a reason to leave. “I’ve been here for a long time and there is not much to do,” he said. “I mean, once I get older I can’t go to college parties—that’s the only thing that goes on around here. I want to be able to go to theaters and clubs.” Some students, like Carolyn Robinson, a Trinity senior who is pre-med, just want to return home after being far away for their undergraduate studies. “I’m primarily applying to med schools in Florida because that’s where I’m from,” she said. “I thought I would stay here for four years [as an undergraduate] and see if I liked it... but I want to go back home.”

Yet there are those that do stay, like Utaukwa Allen, Trinity ’O2 and a second-year law student, who had also been admitted to law school at Columbia University, New York University and Georgetown University. “I had a good experience as an undergraduate [at Duke] —I liked the campus and the small environment,” she said. “I’ll probably move to New York or Boston after graduation, though, because I will have been here for seven years and I want a bigger environment and a little bit more of a city life.” Although Wise’s personal plans do not include remaining in the area, he would not put staying in Durham beyond all Duke students. “I don’t think that too many of my friends at least would mind staying around after graduation,” Wise said. “Most [students] that [had] off-campus apartments their last year get settled in the area and don’t know what they’re going to do after their senior year anyway. Sometimes it’s just easier to keep what they have here and find a job while they figure out what their next move is going to be.”

HELICOPTERS from page 2 have and the Pentagon may not have a difficult time scrapping it. Behind this decision is a realization by the Army that the Comanche program did not fit in with the desire of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the administration to transform the military by eliminating obsolete weapons programs and substituting newer and more state-of-theart military technologies. In that effort, the Comanche was vulnerable. A joint venture between the Boeing Corp. and the Sikorsky Aircraft subsidiary of United Technologies, the Comanche was billions of dollars over budget, decades behind schedule and had been losing favor in Congress and in the Pentagon. As the cost of each helicopter grew from an initial price tag of $l2 million to a current $58.9 million, the number of helicopters the Pentagon could afford to buy fell from an initial estimate of over 2,000 to around 650. “If the program cannot produce a single helicopter in 20 years, you’ve got a problem,” said Loren Thompson, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute, a nonprofit organization in Arlington, Va. Sikorsky said that “while we regret the Army’s announcement, we are committed to working closely with our customer” and will enter into discussions with the Pentagon to gain a “complete understanding of the next steps for Comanche.” The impact on Boeing, which has about $27 billion in military contracts, will be less as money that had been earmarked for Comanche will go for other Boeing programs.

Six children are spread out in the 1M building on a Saturday morning in mid-

January. Their coach, Mike Zeillmann, pairs them off and dispatches each group to a designated basket. “We’re playing ‘Around the World’,” Zeillmann bellows. “You remember this game from last week?” The children nod in understanding, as a member of each pairing takes a basketball and toes the right block in front of his or her hoop. Zeillmann announces that play will begin in 10 seconds, five seconds, one second, as conversations cease and concentration setdes in. Ideally, Around the World is very simple, as one person is the shooter and the partner is the rebounder and passer. The scheme is working for most everyone, except 15-yearold Kade Shipman. Rather than collecting the errant shots of her teammate, her attendon is lured by the photographer snapping her photos. So instead of participating in the drill, she approaches the camerawoman and casts a joke. “Do you know who invented hospital gowns?” Katie says. “Dr. Seymour Butts.” The photographer pauses, then chuckles and introduces herself. Kade, whose brain tumor was first discovered by doctors at the age of seven, then proposes to tell a few blonde wisecracks. The photographer, of course, is a redhead. “I don’t normally tell these, but a smart blonde told them to me so it’s okay,” Katie explains. As Katie entertains her latest audience, the game continues. The athletic abilities of the five other children on the floor vary from Kevin Lynch, who can dribble two balls with his eyes closed while moving around with ease, to a trio of girls that is still attempting to master the art of dribbling with their fingertips rather than their palms. They’re supposed to be shooting, but Zeillmann takes a moment before kindly instructing them to return to their baskets. As the hour-long session rolls on, the kids of Hoop Dreams will participate in a few other shooting drills, none of them SEE HOOP DREAMS ON PAGE 16

I had never been so excited in all my life! The first time I went to the program, it was like magic. Coach Ziellmann was just so friendly. When I picked up the ball and started dribbling, I wasn’t the greatest player even He didn’t care though; he gave me the chance I had been needing. By the end of the lesson, I was doing things I never thought possible, like dribbling two balls at once. Not even most people can do that.

Puerto-riffic: Janangelo, women cruising in San Juan

CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Liz Janangelo, the nation's top-ranked women's golfer, is in first place heading into today's final round.

From staff reports A season-opening trip out of the country was a little out of the ordinary for the women’s golf team this week, but the results were very familiar: Liz Janangelo and Virada Nirapathpongpom are doing their thing, and the Blue Devils are way on top. Heading into the final day of the Lady Puerto Rico Classic in San Juan, Puerto Rico, No. 1 Duke continued to start offits spring season in dominating fashion. The Blue Devils pushed their lead from seven to 11 strokes yesterday in the second round of play and look to pull away with the first of many wins to come this season in today’s final round. Still, steadfast coach Dan Brooks remains skeptical of Duke getting ahead of itself. “Overall, we were not as sharp out there today,” he said. “We are going to have to stay focused and be on our toes Tuesday to maintain our lead.” Janangelo, who finished first in three of the Blue Devils’ five fall tournaments, moved up from fifth to first individually with two-under 70 yesterday. A win tomorrow would almost certainly keep her at the top spot in the national Golfweek/Sagarin Index Performance Index that tracks college’s best golfers. “Liz took advantage of her ability to hit the ball a long way today,” Brooks said. “She was hitting it close on her approach shots and rolled the ball well, but her putts were just not dropping.” Not much was dropping for Nirapathpongporn either, who shot a sixover 78 a day after Brooks said her swing was “as good as it has ever been.” She

slipped from first place individually into a tie for second with USC’s Veronica Felibert. Both are two strokes behind

two-round tally of 578. Oklahoma trails at 589, followed by Georgia at 591, USC at 594, Tulsa at 600 and 10 other national powerhouses far out of reach for tee off this morning at 8 a.m. The Blue Devils will return this week and begin the United States leg of their top-ranked tour in earnest over Spring Break at the Sun Trust Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.

Weather hot, men not From staff reports It was in the 80’s in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico yesterday, but the men’s golf team was cold as ice yesterday in round two of the men’s side at the Puerto Rico Classic. After not having a player finish at or under par over the weekend, Duke remained in 13th place going into today’s final 18 holes, much in thanks to junior Tom Lefebvre. The Camp Lejeune, N.C. native shot a two-under 70 at the Rio Mar Country Club River Course. Senior steadyhand Mike Castleforte evened his score from Sunday with another 73, putting him in 25th place

individually.

Still, the Blue Devils trail die first-place Florida Gators by 31 strokes after 36 holes. Check The Chronicle tomorrow for full updates on both the men’s and women’s golf teams.

We played one of those typical strong ACC weeks. We played a great game against Wake in an unbelievable atmosphere, and then our kids came back yesterday in another unbelievable atmosphere and we were able to beat Maryland. I thought that we played much better defense against Maryland, and our kids need to get rejuvenated a little bit. Mentally, they’re fine. Just physically, I think they’re a little bit worn out from the season. We’ll give a couple of our guys who have had some injuries some time —a few days to recover. So we’re going to practice today, but we’ll practice light and give them the day off tomorrow and then get a day’s preparation for Valpo before we go to Florida State on Sunday.

And you can do that in a variety of ways, and one way to do that is to be in a tough conference like we are. But then to try to play somebody who might play you differently, have a different system, somebody who has an NCAA pedigree—which Valparaiso has won seven or eight or eight out of nine of their last conference championships and are vying for one again. They have a good chance of being an NCAA team, and I just think that that helps us during this time. And also to see if our guys can get out of the mindset of playing ACC basketball and now playing national basketball, which we’re going to have to get into in a few weeks. Finally, you try to play against outstanding coaches, and Homer Drew is one of the shrewdest and most successful coaches in the country. So he might do something against us that no one else has done, but I’d rather find out about it now then wait until we get into the tournament.

you can’t give a general statement for that. First of all, I would only talk to somebody who was a part of our program who’s considering that. And then what you have to do is you have to make sure you’re dealing with proper information and make sure that that’s the right race for thatkid to run. It’s not about going to die NBA, it’s about being a really good player and staying in the NBA. And if somebody’s ready to do that right away, then so be it. But you have to be really careful about going too early and not staying late—not staying long or staying the way you wanted to stay. I don’t think you should go in ifyou’re not going to play. You’ve got to be physically and mentally ready to play, and that would be some advice. But it would be a very personalized conversation with the individual kid.

HOOP DREAMS

from page 13

too intense nor competitive, and they’ll do so laughing and carousing throughout. The sessions are actually very well-run, very organized and very productive. But they do not originate as such, as Zeillmann meets with every new participant individually to have the chance to get to know them and to assess their widely varying abilities. Consequently, Zeillmann can more efficiently run the group sessions once the children are ready to graduate from the individual meeting because he can appropriately match up the kids. And any discrepancies or lack ofbasketball ability is soon nullified, either with vast improvement, or the realization that the sport itself is of little consequence —it is the purpose of the game that is critical. “I actually had the opportunity to coach in college, but I always liked working with kids,” Zeillmann says. “They learn so fast, they’re so passionate about it.... You can see how much they love playing. Almost everything I’ve learned in my life I’ve learned through basketball. And basketball is just my way of helping them improve their life.” Katie’s life is one that has been improved greatly by Zeillmann and Hoop Dreams. Remarkably articulate and loquacious, she speaks with a confidence and a humor that is perhaps surprising for an individual that has been through so much at such a young age. “Kate had nine or 10—I’ve lost count, frankly —surgeries, mostly to do with her shunt, because her tumor was not operable,” Katie’s father, Neil, says. “[She has had] two surgeries for double-vision, there were side effects from the radiation, [the doctors had to] manipulate the muscles to try to straighten her eyes back out. She’s been in the hospital more times than I can count—three major hospitals. She had thirty consecutive days of radiation; she had a reaction to the radiation that caused severe brain swelling, which caused her to sleep for nearly two months, in which time everybody in the family thought she was dying, including her I think.” But now, having been deemed a “survivor” two years ago, Katie cherishes this basketball group, Hoop Dreams. She, like most of the other children participating in today’s session, learned of the program through a cancer support group at Duke Medical Center. “I love it, it’s great,” Katie says. “Before doing this I was never, like, very physically active. And for all of my medical things, I really need to exercise, so my parents and doctors always say, ‘You need to exercise, you need to exercise, you need to exercise.’ So doing this really gave me an oudet to find away to an exercise that I loved doing and I can do with my friends who have gone through the same kind of medical crap that I have.” The advantages of this new social milieu are conspicuous to her father, as well. “She just overall seems more relaxed when she’s around these kids; she’s not trying to compensate for any of her

Decoding the C?ccle II PART

Coach Mike Zeiilmann explains a ball handling drill to a group ofchildren during a Hoop Dreams session. deficiencies from radiation or anything like that because she knows they all have the same set of problems.” It is in this social regard where Hoop Dreams provides a very necessary therapy, one that even the best doctors at Duke Hospital simply cannot provide. And having a coach that understands the healing power of friendships and basketball has helped to make this program an enamored one. When Zeiilmann ran the first session in October of last year, however, he was unsure how well Hoop Dreams would be accepted. “I had never really known that many kids that had had cancer and had been recovering, so I was a little apprehensive,” Zeiilmann says. Some of the kids were nervous, too, as many of them had never even picked up a basketball before. But not Kade. “I never get really nervous about stuff like that—even surgery.... I figure you’re asleep for the worst part. I learn to look at the bright side of everything.” Such optimism proved to be contagious for Zeiilmann, the children and the parents, many of whom attend the Hoop Dreams sessions to get a glimpse of the wonder of the program. “And then we had that first day with some girls [and it ended up being] great. One of the greatest things about it was you could tell the parents were absolutely thrilled about it, too. It’s obviously extremely tough on the kids, but in some ways it’s almost worse for the parents to see your child like that. When we started doing it the kids

were smiling and having a good time, to see their parents just so excited that their kids were happy.” The noticeable changes in the attitudes and personalities of their children—increases in self-confidence, attentiveness and morale—have all been cited as outcomes of their children’s participation in Hoop Dreams. But the challenges for these kids are far from over. “It’s so depressing,” says Terri Brown, the mother of 15year-old Dana Smith, who survived a bout with cancer after being diagnosed in October 1996. “Every weekend it’s like everybody’s making plans, going on dates or going to the movies and Dana’s like, ‘Well I don’t know who to call.’ These children seem to lose the ability to make friends, and that’s not something you can teach people. So this is a common ground where they can bring all these kids together by a basketball and by interacting while learning.” In that respect, Zeillmann has become much more of a coach, as he talks to the children about “everything—they tell me about school and things like that.” His advice is sought by these children, and he provides as much of it as he can while still teaching them the fundamentals of basketball. This is admittedly difficult, but Zeillmann believes that by being an encouraging teacher and role model, he can help to create an atmosphere conducive to the needs ofkids like Katie and Dana. Thus far, it’s working wonders. “I’ve made a lot of new friends,” Dana says, “and it’s something differentbecause I never thought I’d be able to do this kind of thing again.”

WRESTLING from page 13

mentally prepared

There is a spark in the air. “My guys are very excited about the match,” Anderson said. “It is the first lime in history that we have done this well. They are really excited, and they will be up for the match. Right now N.C. State would be favored, but so were Virginia and North Carolina Leading the way for the Blue Devils are Christian Smith, Adam Benitez and Levi Craig. The trio is undefeated in its first three ACC matches. The 125-pound Smith will face off in a pivotal match against his nemesis, Jeremy Hartrum, who has narrowly defeated Smith in their past two meetings, according to Anderson. Despite the importance of the contest, junior Adam Benitez, who is 20-10 overall on the year in the 135-pound weight class, is not phased. “I’m not really feeling the pressure,” he said. “We can definitely beat this team.” ”

“These are Duke students,” Anderson said. “They always put so much pressure on themselves. They know it’s a big match for us as a program, and I’m trying to get them to release some of that pressure. “I’m trying to play down the importance of it; either way were going to be in a three-w ay tie for first [in the conference].”

For inspiration tonight, Duke only has to look as far back as ten days ago. Against Virginia, the Blue Devils dug themselves a deep hole, facing a 14-0 hole at one point. But clutch pins by Frank Comely and Tim Marcantonio led the comeback for Duke, as the Blue Devils won the match 21-17. Although this match against the Wolfpack has great magnitude, the ultimate test for Duke will come later in the year. “For wrestlers, the ultimate goal is to get to the national tournament,” Anderson said. “They see this match as a

stepping stone.”

Jim Vertuno

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Brandon Mouton keeps scoring at a torrid pace and the Texas Longhorns are staying right on Oklahoma State’s heels in the Big 12. Mouton scored 23 points Monday night to lead the lOth-ranked Longhorns to an 82-67 win over No. 20 Kansas, keeping Texas within a half-game of the league leading sixth-ranked Cowboys. Mouton, who went scoreless in a win over Baylor back on Feb. 10, has scored at least 20 points in the last four games for the Longhorns (20-4,11-2 in the Big 12). “Our intensity as a team has stepped up,” Mouton said. Tm feeding off of them and they’re feeding off me.” PJ. Tucker added 11 points and eight rebounds as the Longhorns secured their school-record fifth straight 20-win season. James Thomas scored eight of his nine points in a key 90-second span of the second half that helped the Longhorns protect the lead. ‘James put it on him for a good two minutes and they had no answer for him,” guard Royal Ivey said. “After that we just rolled.” Texas’ seniors had never beaten Kansas and the win kept the Longhorns within sight of their second Big 12 regular season title. Texas has three games left on the schedule, including a matchup next Monday with Oklahoma State in Stillwater. The Cowboys beat Texas in Austin in January. “We’re here to win championships,” Ivey said, “and this is one more step.” Keith Langford led Kansas (17-7, 9-4) with 17 points. The Jayhawks have lost four straight road games and are 6-5 in their last 11 games under first-year coach Bill Self. “The last time I checked it’s still February and we’ve still got games to play,” Jayhawks forward Wayne Simien said. “We can’t give in and we won’t.” Texas led 26-24 in the first half before a 13-2 run made it 39-26. Jason Klotz and Tucker each had a three-point play during the run. Klotz was fouled hard on the shoulder by Jeff Graves but still managed to finish the shot with a bank off the glass. Tucker’s layup and free throw gave Texas its biggest lead of the half. Kansas got the deficit under 10 by halftime, 41-32, and outrebounded the Longhorns 22-16, but gave up 10 points in the half with eight turnovers. The Jayhawks threatened to take the lead when they started the second half with a 12-6 run and, after a threepointer by Aaron Miles, cut it to 47-43. Texas got a break when Brian Boddicker’s three-pointer bounced high off the rim before falling in. Mouton followed a miss for an easy layup to make it 52-43 with 15:33 to play. “It went from four to nine in the second half and I thought that took a lot Of wind our of our sail,” Self said. Kansas squandered a chance to seize momentum three minutes later when Graves drew a foul on Boddicker and had an opportunity to get the Jayhawks within six with a pair of free throws. But Graves was called for a technical foul after the play and Texas’ Kenny Taylor made two free throws while Graves missed one of his. Thomas, who last week broke Texas’ career rebounds record, then hit consecutive layups, and,a free throw by Tucker made it 65-51. Thomas scored eight of Texas’ 11 points in the run that all but clinched the game. “I started posting up and I started wanting the ball,” Thomas said. “In the first half, I wanted to get a feel of the game. But in the second half, I knew I had to come out and play James Thomas basketball.” Texas led 70-52 with 7:54 to play but the Jayhawks wouldn’t let Texas get comfortable with the big cushion. Langford hit a three-pointer, Simien made two free throws and Texas got a scare when Mouton hobbled off the court after turning his ankle trying to block Langford’s shot. He shook it off and was back .on the court 30 seconds later and hit a three-pointer that made it 73-57 with 6:42 to play. The top-scoring team in the Big 12, Texas went 20-of-24 from the foul line. The Longhorns got 28 points from players off the bench compared to two for Kansas.

Be REAL in Celebrating Our Bodies Week Did you know that the average fashion model is thinner than 98 percent of American women? Or that the number of men openly reporting dissatisfaction with their body has tripled in the past two decades? To bring these truths closer to home, did you know that 91 percent of college women surveyed have tried to control their weight through dieting? How about the sad fact that there are a number of people on Duke’s campus who are not surprised at this, or do not care? Such is the world that we live in. We all know people that spend hours everyday at the gym for the sole purpose of losing weight. We have friends that eat iceberg lettuce for lunch (with no-fat, 10-cal dressing), or buy expensive protein supplements in an attempt to bulk up. How many people do you know that feel guilty about taking another slice of pizza at a late night study session, or who order a shake and eat two spoonfuls before throwing it away? Perhaps no social environment is more susceptible to contemporary culture’s distorted perceptions and treatment of eating and body image than the college campus. Few students are fully aware of the realities of these important health issues. To encourage the Duke community to consider not only what it means to look healthy but also what it means to be healthy, the Student Health Center is sponsoring Celebrating Our Bodies Week 2004. The theme for the week is “Be REAL,” a phrase that exemplifies what it takes to celebrate one’s body, mind and lifestyle. Being real is respecting yourself—and not just when you’re with the current object of your lust. Respecting yourself is understanding that you, in both body and mind, are unique and valuable. You deserve to be appreciated. Other people don’t have your same perspective on life, your thoughts, or the funny faces you make, and that is something to smile about. Respecting yourself means knowing and living in tune with your values, making decisions because they feel right to you. Respecting yourself involves knowing and choosing to do what benefits your health, never sacrificing your vitality and individuality to someone else’s “ideal.” Being real is encouraging healthy habits.

Find a balance in your eating, exercise and other daily activities that minimizes stress and maximizes vigor. Moderation is important. Listen to your body; it will tell you what it needs to be healthy. If you crave a Snickers on your study break, can barely function after days of missing sleep or feel weak after long hours spent in the gym with little fuel to keep you going, pay attention to your body’s messages and do what it takes to be and feel healthy. Remember to relax, take time for yourself, indulge in what makes you happy and respond to your body’s needs. Being real means accepting your body. This involves setting realistic expectations for yourself and your body. There is no harm in wanting and trying to improve your physique, but in doing so, it is crucial to accept your body’s limits. Each of us has differto ent raw materials sizes and shapes work with. Not everyone can be Gisele or Carmen, A-Rod or AI, and trying to do so certainly cannot help us to value ourselves the way we should. Don’t buy the hype; there is no “ideal” body. Recognize and appreciate what you can do, constructing a reasonable, healthy vision of what your body can be at its best. Finally, and most importantly, being real means loving life. There is much more to life than what you see in the mirror. Your happiness and sense of worth could never be defined by the size you wear, how much you can bench or what others think of your appearance. Live life for you and no one else; find and do what you love regardless of what cultural myths or stereotypes seem to demand of you. You cannot be healthy, or celebrate who you are, without loving the life you lead. In the coming week, we encourage you to think about these things. Come up with some ideas about what it means for you to be real. It is our hope that you will take some of these guidelines for healthy living into the weeks, months and years to come. Resist the forces of myths and stereotypes, loving your body and self in all their wonderful uniqueness. Celebrate your body, nourish your mind and, above all, keep it real. Jen Lohn Trinity ’O4 -

Subversive Stupidity

412.

31,32. 2,3,6,13. 36. 53. For those engineers out there already working on some algorithm to figure out the code, please stop, get a life. Okay, continue reading. Those numbers were for those of us who live off campus, and represent the basic necessities of life. HBO, ESPN 1 AND 2, the four major networks, Comedy Central and MTV. My name is Tal, and I am addicted to television. (This is going somewhere legit, I promise.) TV has been at its best recently. Reality game shows are at their peak with Survivor All-Stars, MTV’s Real World and the Challenges, American Idol and The Apprentice. (Some of you sick bastards even enjoy Average Joe.) We are halfway though the best season of CurbYour Enthusiasm, The Chapelle Tal Show is back in full force, TALing it and Tony Soprano comes back in less than two weeks, Not to mention that with DVR (bootleg Tivo) I always have two new games of Jeopardy, today’s Daily Show, a Family Guy and a Southpark in the bullpen. Life is good. (Before I get all serious, for those ofyou who liked the movie American Beauty, try Six Feet Under. TRUST ME.) In case you don’t know these shows, or somehow don’t find them funny, let me give you a taste of what’s popular with the kids these days. On the latest Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry mistakes a black man in a suit waiting outside a restaurant for a Valet. In the “Racial Draft” on Chapelle’s Show, the Asians took the Wu Tang Clan. The boys from South Park are the originators of this type of humor (taking the Simpsons two steps over the line),

this past season informing us that due to illegal music downloading, Lars Ulrich cannot afford his gold plated shark tank until next month, and Master P’s son won’t be getting that island he has always wanted for Christmas. And then there is Family Guy. I would be doing it a disservice by trying to

describe the show in a mere sentence or two. But here’s a shot There is a ‘Tamily Guy” episode, “When you Wish Upon a Weinstein” which was once considered by FOX too “edgy” to air. Apparently a father wishing his son could “be the Jewish” and thus smart and successful is much worse than Midget Bachelor. Nothing is sacred on the show. What most people don’t know is that The Family Guy episodes were the #1 selling TV-to-DVD series of 2003. Hirshberg That’s more than Alias, my like it is precious 24 and the Sopranos. You want to know why? Because people find it extremely funny. Does that mean racism and prejudice is rampant among owners of DVD players? No. It means they can take a joke. These shows are funny because they say things we all know shouldn’t be said. My best friend from home has given this type of humor a name: Subversive Stupidity. I don’t know if it’s a perfect fit, but it definitely sounds good. Basically, we laugh because we know we shouldn’t be. People get very very VERY heated over the N-Word, but when Larry David refers to Krazee Eye Killa as “My Caucasian”, how many of us ever thought that was offensive? These shows shake the very essence of political correctness. This type of mentality is all around us. Hell, even the all-wise Coach K

makes fun of his Polish background. By addressing issues such as race, religion and sexual preferences in an upfront manner, they bypass all the restrictions set up by censors, Jesse Jackson, and Mi Gente. Whenever Cartman calls Kyle a “stupid Jew”, I laugh my ass off. Does that mean I am self-hating? Hell no. When I laugh at Ali G describing a group of three suspects as “One brotha, one honkey, and one Spanish,” I do so as a Duke student, 21 years ofage, who realizes that those descriptions wouldn’t fly in the real world. Right now, you all are thinking, “cop out column.” Not a chance. What I’m getting at is that at this point we all have a pretty good idea of what can be said in what settings, and what words or phrases you use only in the company of those you feel most comfortable with. So when Matt Sullivan compared Luol Deng’s arms to those of a monkey, how can any of you truly think he had any ill will towardsLuol? Writing for The Chronicle is not writing for the New York Times. We do not get paid. We do not get credit. The story appeared on the front cover, so Sullivan obviously proven himself to be serious about this journalism thing. Ask yourselves this: Would a Duke student take time out of his busy Duke schedule to write about the men’s basketball team (predominantly African American) for two years, just to use his position to issue racist statements? Does that sound logical to any of you? And why is it offensive? I understand the human/animal aspect, but it could be much worse than having your arms compared to those of an orangutan. A few months ago Duke couldn’t wait to brag about how it had a monkey that could control a robotic arm. Hell, if a monkey can go to space and come back, he’s chill by me.

And, if you compare the purely physical characteristics of the arms of any 6’-8” 220 pound 19 year old, black or white, with those of most primates, I don’t think it’s such a stretch. I’ve said worse things about people in my column, and no one’s asked for my resignation (yet). No, I would not have chosen Sullivan’s wording, but mistakes have been admitted, so lets let the kid live. No one read that article and suddenly thought, African Americans climb trees and hang by their tales. Offensive, maybe, but definitely not racist. And even if you still think it is, where is the up-roar when they play White Men Can’t Jump on television. How many of you mind that Israel is constantly bashed in The Chronicle? Why does no one ask for heads to roll when a white kid gets beat out of a spot in a University simply because of the color of his skin? (And yes, I am ranting.) We let Billy Packer come into Cameron without even a mention of how he once described Allen Iverson as a ‘Tough Monkey.” Firing Sullivan, or even the editor (who deserves any blame) over a questionable simile would be making all the wrong statements. It would declare that we in the Duke Community aren’t diverse, have no chance of becoming diverse, and most likely don’t want to become diverse if we cannot forgive one of our own for a simple slip-up. How ‘bout instead of the rest of us feeling outraged, let’s ask Luol what he thinks. Does he even care? He’s been through war. Sticks and stones can break his bones, but words will never harm him.

Visiting New Orleans with Leah

This

Leah is practicing. Lucas is Jewish. Culturally. Well, he had a is a column aboutLeah Hunt-Hendrix. She is a junior. Mary loves her. Lucas hates her. Well, Lucas doesn’t bar Mitzvah. And is very nervous. And he likes challah. And hate her. Lucas just realizes that he and Leah don’t Passover. Mary and Lucas are recalling a pastor’s sermon at a click. They’ve tried. For years. Last semester, they sat on the church they once attended together. “Make unsaved friends East-West bus every Monday and Wednesday around 11:50 so you can get ‘em and convert 'em.” That was what Lucas after Lucas got out of History 91D and Leah finished up at the heard. “Unsaved people are not all that fun but they need gym. They’d try to communicate. Leah would talk about her your friendship to see the light.” That was Mary. Both weekend reading Kierkegaard over hot tea and Lucas would thought, “Sermon’s nuts. Ridiculous.” They’re getting worked talk about his weekend watching Woody Allen with Immodiup. Leah is interested. She starts to speak, but Lucas is makum-AD. They never found common ground. At parties, ing a point... loudly. She gets up and leaves to make phone they’d smile and say hello. Nothing he said ever interested calls in the bathroom, Mary and Lucas later learn this is beher and he thought she was boring, too. They even both did cause she “couldn’t stand to stay at that table.” At her deparprojects with death row inmates, but they couldn’t discuss ture, Lucas is thrilled. Mary is passive-aggressive. that without putting the other to sleep. ‘Jesus may have been a great guy.” Lucas is outraged. “But Then they went to New Orleans together. Well, Mary and some of his friends today need to get a life!” Meal ends. Mary and Lucas decide to leave Lucas and Leah went to New Orleans toboth their cell phone numbers for David. The gether. Mary was attending a debutante ball in Shreveport and Lucas was coming water boy. His sexual orientation is ambiguous. So is the note they leave him. Their intention along for the ride and they thought it is to give the boy options. He probably suspects would be fun to end up in New Orleans for New Years. “Just one request,” Lucas something dirtier. “We’ll be here till Friday told Mary as they planned the trip. night. Call if you want to meet up.” In hind“Don’t bring Leah Hunt-Hendrix, it’s just sight, sounds like an invite to a threesome.

Her sister stand-up comedian on the hotel television. lives there! (Well, kind of, but more on Lucas thinks she’s funny. Leah thinks she is Mary Adkins that later). Mary was thrilled. Lucas was using humor to mask pain. Oy. Fast forward to Friday. Mary and Lucas passive aggressive Fast forward to Canal Street, New Orleans. Palace Cafe. and Adam have agreed to drive Leah to her sister’s house New Years Eve, 2003. Mary, Lucas, Leah Hunt-Hendrix and across the Causeway, a very long (very long) bridge close to Adam Bloomfield (another contentious character), are havthe water. 23 miles long. There is traffic. It is BAM. Leah ing dinner. On the way in, Leah suggests to Lucas that he thinks it’s a beautiful view. Lucas thinks it’s foggy. Mary, Lucas and Adam need to get to Adanta before 7PM. Adam thinks speak more quietly. In general. Lucas speaks loudly. But effectively. He thinks he’s articulate. Mary is certain Lucas Mary is an awful driver. Lucas agrees. ‘The white lines on the speaks loudly. On the way to the table, Lucas says nothing road aren’t suggestions,” Lucas tells her. “They aren’t?” she (wouldn’t want to speak too loudly). The conversation shifts asks. Seriously. to the guy refilling water glasses. He’s cute. David. David They drop Leah off. On the way out of the driveway, Mary hopes to pursue an MFA in creative writing, just like Mary hits Leah’s sister’s trash can with her car. “Someone get out and Lucas. He has nice eyes. We drink lots of water. and pick it up,” Mary suggests. “Hit and run?” That was Lucas. Midway through the meal the subject shifts to Christianity. Mary wins.

Fast forward to Laura Tobolowsky’s 22nd birthday party. Another Thyme. The restaurant. Mary is there. Lucas is there. Leah Hunt-Hendrix is there. It has been two months since Lucas wanted to throw Leah off the Causeway. Lucas sees Leah. Leah sees Lucas. A stare-off. Lucas makes the first move. “Leah.” “Lucas.” “We have... an awkward relationship.” Leah nods. “We just don’t click.” She nods again. ‘We don’t like each other. Well, I don’t like you.” “I don’t like you, either.” “I didn’t really dislike you until New Orleans.” “Me neither.’ “Well, actually, before New Orleans... remember when we went to Blockbuster together? I thought every movie you wanted to pick out was stupid.” “And I thought everything you said was superficial and

poindess.” “I wanted to throw you over the Causeway.” “I wanted to kill you, too.” Lucas and Leah Hunt-Hendrix spend the next fifteen minutes rehashing their passive-aggressive history. They have both had a few drinks. They hug gleefully among astonished mutual friends. Outside the Loop later in the week, Lucas runs intoLeah Hunt-Hendrix. “Can I ask you something?” she says. “Did we agree to be friends or not to be friends?” Lucas thinks. “Well, we don’t like each other, so friendship seems out of the question. But... I think we agreed to be friendly acquaintances.” “Great.” They hug again. Three years of pretending comes to a close. Honesty is always the best policy. Leah, we love you. (Well, Mary does). Lucas Schafer and Mary Adkins are Trinity seniors. Their column usually appears every third Friday.
