Students who can't get theirMarketplace fix during the day can now munch on a midnight snack at the East Campus eatery.

Marketplace to open at night Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

Freshmen looking to nosh late at night will soon be able to forgo the midnight bus ride to Rick’s Diner or the 11 p.m. hike to Cosmic Cantina. Starting tonight, the Marketplace will open from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Wednesday. It will offer an array of food priced-per-item available for purchase with cash or food points. The extended hours are the beginning of a trial program designed to study the feasibility of giving freshmen greater flexibility with their board plan. Freshmen currently pay a mandatory

fee for 14 all-you-can-eat meals at the Marketplace and a limited number of food points, which function like cash at most on-campus eateries. As student demand for fewer Marketplace meals has grown in recent years, dining officials have worked to find a solution that maintains the community-building focus of the board plan but allows students more options. “Before I just dismantle the board plan, I have to test the financial waters of doing it,” said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services. “We just can’t change that quickly, but what we know is that students just don’t dine

that often in the morning.” Marketplace managers hope the increased business from offering midnight food will boost the eatery’s sales and steal some business back from the vendors that deliver restaurant food under the Merchants on Points program. “The amount ofbusiness that off-campus does is unbelievable, so it’s kind of a no-brainer,” said Brian Haney, one of the managers at the Marketplace, adding that he hopes the Marketplace can increase its revenue with the new program.

RALEIGH Tropical Storm Gaston weakened into a tropical depression Sunday but was still expected to bring heavy rains and possible flooding to North Carolina. Gaston’s center was expected to move into North Carolina overnight and continue north through Fayetteville and Raleigh by Monday morning, said Mike Moneypenny, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Raleigh. “Most of the precipitation is wrapped around the center of the system,” he said. Areas within about 30 miles of the center could see downpours totalling about six inches of rain, but most areas could expect between one and four inches. Winds of 15 to 25 mph were expected from the weakening storm system Sunday evening though midday Monday, with gusts to 30 to 35 mph. A reported tornado snapped pine trees and blew off some roofs in Scodand County and another damaged several homes Sunday and blew down trees in Hoke County near Raeford, the weather service said. Residents of 15 coastal and nearby counties as far north as Tyrrell and Dare were urged to watch for flooding late Sunday

Over 100,000 protest Bush in NYC by Sara Kugler THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Bearing flag-draped boxes resembling coffins and fly-swatters with President George W. Bush's image, over 100,000 protesters peacefully filled Manhattan's streets on the eve of the Republican National Convention to demand that the president be turned out of office. Flanked by police in riot gear, the protesters moved through the fortified city, loudly and exuberantly chanting slogans such as “No more years.” They accused the White House of waging an unjust war in Iraq, making the country poorer and undermining abortion rights. There were about 200 scattered arrests and no reports of major violence. Police gave no official crowd estimate, though one law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, put the crowd at 120,000; organizers claimed it was roughly 400,000. The march snaked in a circular route around midtown Manhattan, shutting down dozens of blocks and bringing out hordes of police in a city already girded against terrorist attacks. ‘They chose New York, where they’re universally hated,” said New York writer Laurie Russo, 41. They should have gone somewhere they’re more welcome. They exploited 9/11 by having it in New York at this time.” In the largest set of arrests, some 50 protesters on bicycles who stopped near

Also, 10 people were arrested after someone set a paper dragon float afire near Madison Square Garden, and nine demonstrators were charged with assault after trying to prevent the arrest, authorities said. In a smaller protest, police used clubs briefly to disperse a handful of demonstrators holding a “kiss-in” not far from Times Square. There were no immediate details about injuries or arrests. There’s been a few minor arrests,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

Gas prices have nudged upward about half a penny in the last two weeks after dropping more than 20 cents since May 21, but another price spike is not expected due to a decline in crude oil prices, an industry analyst said Sunday.

Some early convention arrivals looked across police lines, shouting at demonstrators: “Go home!” “I hope this shows the world that they’re not alone in their hatred of George Bush,” said Alan Zelenki of Eugene, Ore., who planned for three months to attend this week’s protests.

The health and fitness week is the beginning of a string of promotions by Student Health designed to increase general wellness among the student body. But some question what a hot air balloon or “positive psychology karaoke” has to do with health. “Some people will say Student Health just blows hot air,” said Jean Hanson, administrative director of Student Health. She noted that the fair is merely Student Health’s attempt to make wellness fun. ‘“We are trying to present all of the aspects of health and wellness so that students know that Student Health is not Just the clinic and [they’re not just] coming to see us when they are sick or injured.” Exposure to and knowledge of programs is vital for the success of prospective medicine, an educational and preventive approach that attempts to curb risk factors that could cause health problems in the future, officials said.

John Barrow, assistant director of CAPS, noted that the mental health day might draw less interest due to the stigma that surrounds issues ofmental health on campus. “As much as anything else, we want to de-stigmatize psychological and emotional concerns and use of counseling services,” said. “We hope to present students with useful information Tuesday about issues such as stress, anxiety and depression.” SEE HEALTH WEEK ON PAGE 8

Crowley and Emily THE CHRONICLE

Almas

Tobacco money may have paid for the stone, but faith was always the bedrock. Religion has traditionally had a place at Duke —and it continues today to have a visible presence beyond the University’s Methodist roots. Nearly a century and a half into its relationship with the Methodist Church, the University’s once-strong ties to the religious conference have changed. But symbols offaith and their significance abound: Duke Chapel has become a backdrop for the evolution of the institution and remains a visible sign of the school’s deep religious foundation. In a small schoolhouse in rural Randolph County in 1838, several Methodist and Quaker families joined together to educate their children at what was then called the Union Institute. The schoolhouse became Trinity College when it entered into an explicit agreement with the United Methodist Church in 1859. It was at this point the college adopted as its motto “Eruditio et Religio,” which was taken from a Methodist hymn. When Washington Duke and his sons began supporting the school in 1889, the religious connection continued. The Dukes were Methodists and saw a strong connection between their religious and educational goals. When Trinity College became Duke University, its Methodist

Although official ties are broken, a deep religious foundation lies at Duke's heart ties were made evident to everyone on campus: The Duke Chapel took five years to build, and upon its completion in 1935, the 210-foot tall edifice served as the spiritual and geographic center of the new University. James Duke wrote that he wanted “the central building to be a church, a great towering church which will dominate all of the surrounding buildings, because such an edifice would be bound to have a profound influence on the spiritual life of the young men and women who come here.” The Chapel, with its statues of great Methodist thinkers and its towering height, became the monument to Methodism Duke had envisioned. The Methodist Church continues to have a strong hand in the University’s administration: Each of the Methodist Conferences of North Carolina elects 12 mem-, hers to the Board of Trustees, and the

University’s alumni elect the remaining 12 Trustees. In addition, the Divinity School is “recognized and supported by the United Methodist Church,” according to the University Archives. Divinity School enrollment reflects this affiliation, as approximately two-thirds of Master of Divinity students at Duke are Methodists. In the 19905, a dispute over samesex commitments in the Chapel highlighted Duke’s status as an educational institution struggling with its Methodist roots. In 1995, a ban on same-sex marriage sparked years of debate between gay rights advocates and religious leaders in the Duke community. Former President Nan Keohane decided to allow the ceremonies to take place in 2000, citing Duke’s “wonderful tradition of rich religious freedom.” Methodist leaders decried the decision, but acknowledged that the decision was Duke’s to make, since the Chapel has been interdenominational since the 1930s Both Duke University and the Methodist Church have changed greatly in the 145 years of their association. But even a casual visitor to campus can look at the Chapel and know that at Duke, Eruditio et Religio are inextricably linked.

Feaver puts the heat in political commentary by

Katie Xiao

THE CHRONICLE

Superman was an “S”-branded, red-spandex-wearing macho machine. The superhero who made daring, last-minute saves, however, was also the ordinary, self-aware Clark Kent at the end of the day. Political science professor Peter Feaver has not been

auditioning for any superhero roles lately—he prefers polyester shirts over spandex

suits—but he lives a life filled with just as many dichotomies. When he’s not playing basketball with his students, he’s briefing Washington, D.C., policy-makers and presidential campaigns on public opinion findings. When he’s not being quoted on a national issue in an international newspaper, he is berating journalists for their ignorance in his own opinion editorials. He has received both the Duke Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award and the Trinity College Distinguished Teaching Award, and yet he considers himself very much a student of the mentors and teachers who preceded him. ‘Teaching is that it’s very much like coaching,” said Feaver, the Alexander F. Hehmeyer Professor ofPolitical Science and Public Policy. “It involves coaxing out of young people a product that is greater than if the coach hadn’t been there.” Feaver, who has been at Duke since August 1991, has written several books about security and civil-military relations. He recruited fellow faculty member Christopher Gelpi and graduate student Jason Reiflerfor a research project on the human cost ofwar. “I think it was really a great collaborative effort between Professor Feaver and myself because it brought together our different, complementary skills,” Gelpi said of their project.

PoliticalScience Professor Peter Feaver has published a number ofbooks about security and civil-military relations. On another, he teamed up with Bruce

Feaver embraces collaboration with colleagues who hold different political ideologies and specializations. “Even though our views on policy differ, the challenges we give to each other is more useful than working with someone who you agree with,” said the liberal-leaning Jendeson of his more conservative associate. Despite his appreciation for opposing views, Feaver, a prolific op-ed writer, is upfront about his opinions. “I write [editori-

His commitment to current issues and practical politics comes through to his students, whom he includes in his political ruminations. “What makes class great is that he uses students as sounding boards for problems to be resolved in his research,” said Christine Ann Shoemaker, Trinity ’Ol, who helped nominate Feaver for one of his teaching awards. “He makes complex subjects accessible to students, without making

the subjects oversimplified, and it really builds the students’ confidence.” Although he is popular with many in the University, Feaver. is far from the academy’s mainstream. He is a Republican in a primarily liberal faculty. He is very devoted to his Christian faith, which is not something embraced by every academic. In the past, he even served on a board for administering faith-based scholarships.

“Will we see a meaningful difference in a host of variables, like number of visits to the emergency room, like property damage in the residence halls due to alcohol

ALCOHOLEDU from page 1 of members of various student affairs-related organizations within the University, has met primarily to “exchange information and strategize about reducing high-risk drinking among our students,” said Stephen Bryan, NUPAC coordinator and interim associate dean for judicial affairs. Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said that AlcoholEdu will be valuable for this freshman class, despite the fact that she has received relatively little student feedback on the program aside from complaints about logging in or confirmation of students’ completion of the program. “Any administrator will tell you it’s a problem. First-year students tend to have a bit more of a problem,” she said of drinking on campus. “Even if this helps one first-year student avoid an incident [or] crisis related to alcohol, then frankly it’s been worth it.” AlcoholEdu is a six-part interactive program involving five chapter-long lessons and a final exam that students must pass at a rate of at least 70 percent in order to successfully complete the program. It provides all students with the same basic information but changes to provide pertinent information to individuals based on their gender, alcohol consumption level and other variables—from creating character scenarios to testing one’s potential blood-alcohol level. The course, which can be completed in multiple sittings, takes about two and a half hours to complete. The administration originally implemented AlcoholEdu last year for students charged with alcohol violations and this year decided to extend the program to all freshmen with the goal of evaluating its effectiveness on a larger population. “I think this first year will be a test to see if there’s any effect,” Bryan said.

consumption?”

Bryan adder dial the program offers much of the same information that many students could have learned in high school, but is modified in away that “arms students with knowledge” for the college setting. “It’s not meant to be like the D.A.R.E. campaign—a “Just Say No” approach,” Bryan said of the national anti-drug movement. “We don’t expect students to abstain from alcohol; rather we would like for them to make healthier choices about the amount they’re consuming and the situations they’re placing themselves in.” Not all freshmen, however, found the program educational or influential. “It was just kind of boring,” freshman Nick Downs said. “It was like three hours long. It was rather monotonous... and I think for most students it just kind of went over their heads. They didn’t really care, they just did it just because they had to. Most people are going to drink either way.” Some of Downs’ classmates, however, found their trip to alcoholedu.com more valuable. “It puts everybody on the same level,” freshman Joanna Hayes said. “You’re confident that everyone around you knows what to do [in case of an accident].”Freshman Kelsey Kingsbery also said the program might be useful for her classmates. “I think there’s a lot of freshmen that probably didn’t know very much at all about alcohol or what it would be like on a college campus,” she said. “So I think for some people it’s probably a really good idea.” So far 1,264 freshmen have completed the program, and 259 are in the process of doing so. Students who have not completed AlcoholEdu will be reminded to log on and close out their tabs in the next few weeks.

MARKETPLACE from page 1 to recoup costs in recent years, and ARAMARK Corp., which operates the venue as well as five other on-campus eateries, has come under fire from students for its lack of convenience and offerings. Last year East Campus Council, led by

sophomore Joel Kliksberg, campaigned against what it deemedpoor food quality, limited offerings and restricted availability of meals at the Marketplace. Students were frustrated that their mandatory board plan included payment for breakfast even though many students never went. In February, Duke Student Government voted “no confidence” in ARAMARK’s food service on campus. Since then, Kliksberg, now DSC vice president for community interaction, said the operator has improved in all the areas students requested. “I think that the joint pressure that ECC and DSC took last year expressing a lack ofconfidence with ARAMARK helped push forward an array of improvement,” Kliksberg said. Students who pushed for the latenight hours said they eventually hope the midnight meal can serve as a substitute for the breakfast freshmen often skip, but Haney said the idea had not yet been presented to him. “That would be something that we’d really have to take a hard look at,” he said, alluding to the cost issues of maintaining the eatery. Wulforst, however, said he was working with ARAMARK to make a more flexible board plan work, and if the latenight option is successful, next year’s entering class might have the option of midnight snacks instead of breakfast. In the meantime, several freshmen said they would be more likely to call an off-campus vendor than eat yet another meal at the freshman dining hall. “If it’s

that late at night, I’d probably just head over to Cosmic Cantina,” freshman Alan Payne said. Freshman Harrison Anthony noted that even though it was only the second week of school, he was already tiring of the Marketplace’s limited offerings. “It seems like if we have to eat it twice a day anyway, then I’d rather use my points on something else—for the variety,” he said. The Marketplace has not hired any new employees for the pilot program. Instead, managers shifted the schedules of current employees to move several lunch employees to the late-night snack shift. The six employees and manager who will work all three early morning shifts were chosen according to the union guidelines of Local 77, which represents some dining employees on campus. “It gives them an opportunity to do something during the daytime,” Haney said, noting that employees could take classes or get a second job. The extended hours have been discussed at the Marketplace for more than a year, but recent pressure from DSG, the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee and other student organizations spurred the eatery to open in the evenings. Many of the offerings will be the breakfast and brunch items that remain nostalgic favorites of upperclassmen even after they graduate to the more varied dining options of West Campus. The late-night food stations will feature chicken wings and omelets, as well as French toast and pancakes. The salad and fruit bar will remain open, offering students a healthier alternative to delivery pizza and Domino’s Kickers. The freshman-focused eatery will also debut a made-to-order egg station where students will be able to order two eggs scrambled or done easy over.

Duke continued to press on offense, and Gracie Sorbello, Katie Grant, Cara-Lynn Lopresi and Amy Stopford all registered shots on goal during the game. Grant scored the lone goal of the game for the Blue Devils, after Nicole Dudek dropped a pass off for the sophomore who finally found the back of the net. The anticlimactic score, coming with 12 minutes remaining, left Duke knowing that it was indeed possible to score against Michigan State keeper Christina Kirkaldy, who collected nine saves on the afternoon.

seventh inning, but in his unusual role Cardona struggled with his only attempt at the hot corner, allowing a routine grounder to pass in between his legs. Pineda escaped any further harm by inducing a fly out. Tides starter Randy Keisler (6-7) allowed 10 earned runs, which all came in the third inning, along with 12 hits in two and two-thirds innings. Keisler’s earned run average ballooned from 3.24 to 3.91 following his performance. Durham put up double digits in an inning for the first time since July 27, 2002. The win increased the Bulls’ lead in the wild card race to four games over Pawtucket and Scranton-WB and diminished the deficit between the team and the South Division leading Richmond Braves to two games. With the regular season winding down, the Bulls and Braves will battle in a three-game set over the next two days in Durham—a series that could determine the South Division

Midre Cummings was the star for the Bulls (73-62). Completing a feat that had never been accomplished since the Bulls became a Triple-A DURHAM affiliate in 1998, he smashed two NORFOLK homeruns in the lengthy third inning. Even though Cummings has 26 homers on the season, he does not think ofhimself as a power hitter. “Being in the clean-up spot, you know, I have to be more of a power hitter, and I really don’t like it,” Cummings said. Tm not a home-run hitter.” Jason Standridge (8-4) picked up the win despite the tough pitching conditions. The powerful right hander threw seven inchampion. “We need to come out and play our best nings, allowing seven hits and three runs, only one of which was earned. baseball,” Evers said. “We need to be ready for them, and not give away at-bats and “[Standridge] is a year older, he’s understanding a little more how to pitch,” make mistakes.” said Bulls manager Bill Evers about the plavoffpicture young pitcher. “[He] is learning more about himself.” South Division Early on, the game proved to be as sloppy as the incoming weather. Each GB W-L club scored a pair of runs in the second 12Richmond inning, thanks to shaky defense. Both Durham 132 catchers were charged with passed balls, and Bulls third baseman Charles Gipson 61-68 8 Norfolk and Tides first baseman Craig Brazell Charlotte 64-68 9.5 recorded fielding errors.

W. SOCCER from page 1 as the Blue Devils cruised to a 5-0 shutout against Elon (1-1). Lorraine Quinn started the scoring action with her first collegiate goal. The freshman sent a shot from outside the penalty box that soared over the goalie’s outstretched arms and into the top right corner of the net. Sophomore Sarah McCabe then added the first of her two goals on the evening, punching in a ball headed her direction. “We really wanted to come out and just knock them on their heels, get a few early ones because we didn’t get the result we wanted at Tennessee,” McCabe said. ‘We really wanted to come out and punish this team.” The superior talent of the Blue Devils showed as they out-shot the Phoenix 25-1, with Kroyer and Lauren Tippets each adding a goal. Church felt that they still needed to capitalize on their chances, as 13 shots yielded just two goals in the first half. ‘We need to score more goals,” Church said. ‘We had some great looks. [ln the] second half we scored some more goals and had some more opportunities. We need to be hungrier in the scoring areas.” Rebounding from its agonizing defeat Friday with a solid performance in its home opener was crucial for Duke. This weekend may prove that sometimes a team can learn much more about itself from a loss than it ever could from a win.

Mutreja unjustified in Israeli criticism Rima Mutreja was clearly referring to herself when she wrote the “public lacks understanding of[lsraeli-Palestinian] conflict,” a perfect example of the blatant lies that anti-Israelis throw around. She says that “we all know for a fact that Israel is a ‘Jewish-only’ state.” This statement doesn’t have the smallest fraction of truth. Israel is a secular, constitutional democracy. In Israel, just like the United States, the right to vote extends to everyone, including women and minorities. Almost one million of Israel’s six million people are Muslim or Christian, and they are represented in similar proportions in the K’nesset, Israel’s parliament. There is also a group of peace-seeking parliamentarians—not only can minorities hold high political office, but they also can hold dissenting opinions! What a repressive country! Economic rights also extend to everyone. There are thousands of successful Muslim businessmen in the Israeli economy. Most are happy members of their communities. I’m also sick of hearing about how Israel stole land from the Palestinians. In the late 1800s, a group led by Theodore Herzl started buying land from the Arabs who lived there. Most were thrilled to get such a good price for land that was essentially worthless. As the Jews began to improve the land, the Palestinians became jealous. This is fact the financial records of land purchase are all well-documented.

After fifty years of Jews buying up land with the aid of the British, U.S. and U.N., Israel was declared to be a country, with borders similar to today. A coalition ofArab states, led by Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan vowed to “drive the Jews into the sea” and claim the land for themselves. When the Israelis beat them in an undeniably self-defensive campaign, Israel took over the bases of operation —the West Bank and Gaza strip—in an effort to defend themselves from future attacks. Since then, militant Muslims from the occupied territories have been suicide bombing Israel, specifically targeting women and children. Hundreds of Israelis have died in the last few years alone. Israel has retaliated militarily against the territories, and Palestinians have died. However, terrorists are targeted by Israel, while women and children are targeted by Palestine. Also, you will never see Israelis dancing in the streets and cheering when Palestinians are killed. Palestinians dance in the street when Israeli children are killed on a regular basis. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a mess that needs to be cleaned up. What the situation doesn’t need is anti-Semites spreading lies to make it seem like Israel is always wrong and that killing children is justified.

Malaklou’s assertions I am continuously baffled by Shadee Malaklou’s columns. I read them in The Chronicle, and she often mentions Duke, and I’ve even seen her around campus, but I’m still not convinced that we go to the same school. Her entire worldview seems to be limited to hanging out at Parizade and hooking up with fraternities. She has seen one small facet of the Duke world (and yes, it is small) and has decided to wallow in it without bothering to see what’s outside. The fact of the matter is, not all Duke boys are out to get in your pants and kick you to the curb and not all Duke girls can be filed into “stilettos or pearls.” Most of the women I hang out with wear titanium sporks, so how does that

are inaccurate

fit your worldview? So Shadee represents one aspect of Duke, an aspect which a lot of people here don’t really give a damn about because we don’t wake up from a drunken haze with people we don’tknow sleeping next to us, and we don’t hunt down freshman girls for sex, and we didn’t have a need to join a frat after freshman year because we found at Duke a culture that was accepting of a multitude of different people and worldviews. So here’s a better warning for the freshman girls (and guys too): The Duke experience is not limited to Shadee Malaklou’s bedroom. Andrew Thaler Trinity ’O7

Greek system should not be discarded I’ve never been a fan of frat boys. Yes, as Christopher Scoville asserts in his Aug. 26 columns, they generally tend to contribute little to the intellectual atmosphere of the campus, preferring to wax apoetic about their weekend (or weeknight) exploits that *

have once been summarized in the worst of Roman poetry, and are not improved by their rehashing in these new forms. And yes, the composition of some of these cabals is more monochrome than an autumnal British cloudscape. So why do I have Greek letters on my class ring? It is an unfortunate truth that good deeds are too often quieter and less noticeable than the bad, and the same is true with campus groups. Sprinkled amongst the more cacophonous greeks, perhaps even outnumbering them, are some groups who actually live by the ideals of brotherhood,

etc. that they swear to as part of their initiation. Greek groups are not inherently rowdy or hedonistic, though some merely are. The good of the concept as a whole should not be judged solely on the failures of the few or even the many; democracy in the so-called third world has had a pretty poor success rate, but it would be foolish to argue that it should no longer be supported despite its idealistic underpinnings. The weight of history may rest heavily on its shoulders, but the greek system is something to be refurbished, perhaps rebuilt, but not discarded. Its existence can be used to foster exactly what this University needs in the way of intellectual vigor and to ignore such a powerful system would be shortsighted, hasty and foolish

saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning.” This assertion, however, undermines his logic that Christianity’s message (including proselytization) is the Right Way. If taking his lesson to heart, Christians should lay down the tools of mass evangelism and conversion, instead focusing on what they can do in their own lives to change. Perhaps more importantly, Lewis dismisses the possibility that this inner discomfort suggests a highly evolved survival mechanism, rather than the existence of God. In the words of Lewis, even if God does exist, “How should we know what He means us to be like?” A Being as infinite and incomprehensible as God should not be subject to the perverse realm of our cultural vagaries. It is Lewis’s own question that should drive serious doubt about Christian assumptions concerning God and His plan for us. Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry would do well to continue studying how Americans find the truth, a lesson written directly out of Bill Clinton’s political playbook. Adding John Edwards to the ticket has reconnected the party to Middle America, but it will be the battle over values—not issues—that will decide the November contest. Regardless ofKerry’s individual faith, if he avoids talking about religion, his political message will not resonate widely with American voters. And, in that case, may God help us all.

Brodhead for President

for unobservant-and way-past-borderlinestupid people: Duke has itself a new president. Yes, someone cool enough to replace the intensely popular Nannerl Overholser Keohane, intelligent enough to run the University (not to mention use the word “phalanx” in conversation) and caring enough to live on campus (or at least within walking distance from West... the first president to do this in

Seinfeldian

C.S. Lewis, spi n and pol it ical truth

rant

After

a long summer vacation traversing the Savannah plains (or is it plain Savannahs?), SIR ELTON had forgotten how much class sucks. At 8:30 a.m. a month ago, SIR ELTON was laying out in his hammock, jamming out on his ukulele. Of course it was 1:30 p.m. over in that time zone, where time stays away from the irksome morning. Now, SIR ELTON is back in the states, and even an uncomfortable mattress in a tiny inferno of a room seems heavenly in comparison to 8:30 class. He rolls out of his bed only to roll back in for that extra minute (maybe two? Please?) before trudging to that useless class that HAD to demand attendance at the cost of your precious grade. On the bright side, if your roommate has that early class and wakes you up, after he leaves you can totally take advantage of that morning wood (maybe twice? Please?). SIR ELTON is going to enjoy using this column as a weekly therapy session, but he was still wondering what else he could do with it. As much as he wanted to stay away from a gossip column, he had to report that he heard a certain Lindsay Lohan was dating Michael Moore, which seems like a perfect pair sir elton brand, since they have the same size breasts. A sex colprince of tennis umn was also a possibiliMonday, monday ty but then SIR ELTON realized all his advice would be straight out of the horse’s mouth, and by horse he means the old lady from Sunday Night Sex Show. After unsuccessfully entertaining some other ideas, such as educating the public on international affairs, the consensus was to settle for a nonsensical, Seinfeldian rant against things that are all the rage to complain about even though they don’t really matter. Like iPods... What’s the deal with iPods? SIR ELTON thinks that it is a great invention for listening to folk music, although paying 99 cents per song can get a little pricey on that third world pocketbook. It’s also great for when SIR ELTON is trying to get a little exercise, so he can listen to some seizure-inducing techno to keep the lactic acid pumping. Hmm... what else is there to say about iPods? I’m blank, like Keanu Reeves. Speaking of Neo, SIR ELTON was trying to fiddle with his academic requirements with the new matrix and found himself to be as freshmen looking for fun (in the popular form of alcohol) who end up at a Sig Ep party. What happened to the simple graphical interface of yesteryear? Now SIR ELTON has no idea how many CGIs, STSs or TPSs he needs to be a good human being. Though it is nice to know that all it takes to be well rounded is a little mandatory cross-cultural inquiry and foreign language. SIR ELTON guesses he could try to make sense of it if he took the printout to the cryptography department, but they’re too busy decoding that other matrix. Sorry, last Matrix joke. That one wasn’t even funny. SIR ELTON hopes everyone is having an easy time readjusting to dorm life. He knows to discuss the important issue that is at the tip of everyone’s tongue: bathrooms. He hopes bathrooms are not literally at the tip of everyone’s tongues, because SIR ELTON doesn’t think that’s hygienic, and he’s foreign. Within a week of collegiate living, he is fortunate enough to have a hallway that is emphatic about toilet sanitation. Already they have designated the #1 toilet, the #2 toilet, and the #3 toilet (a.k.a. the bulimic vomiting toilet). SIR ELTON thinks it is generally a good idea, but doesn’t really see the point since it is a guy’s bathroom. Anyway, when the alarm wakes you up for that 8:30 class, remember that class is an option. President Bush didn’t go to class and look where he is now. That is not a political statement since SIR ELTON is too ignorant to have political views of his own. Fortunately, there is always Bill O’Reilly. But who wants to end a column with political jokes. SIR ELTON thinks he might have thrown out the masturbation joke too early.

SIR ELTON think “cross-cultural inquiry sounds like a euphemism for sex. ”
