THE CHRONICLE

The National Institutes of Health awarded Duke University Medical Center a $4 million grant last week to study infectious diseases in AIDS patients in Tanzania. University scholars say the grant is only the beginning for Duke’s renewed focus on global health care. “Duke is making major efforts in the area ofinternational health,” said Dr. John Bartlett, professor of medicine in the division of infectious disease and principal investigator of the study.

National Institutesof Health.

S4M for AIDS research

Duke will receive the funds in $1 million increments for four years from-the International Studies of AIDS-Associated Co-Infections program of NIH. The money, at least 60 percent of which must be spent in Tanzania, is the only grant awarded by the program this year. The study will focus on opportunistic diseases that some AIDS patients develop due to their weakened immune systems. Such co-infections, which include hepatitis C, tuberculosis, meningitis and viral cervical cancer, are a leading cause of death in AIDS patients.

About 10 percent of Tanzania’s 10 million citizens are infected with HIV. The average Tanzanian earns about $365 USD a year, but only spends about $6 on health care, Bardett said. ‘The country is very overwhelmed in trying to provide care for everyone,” he said. “The grant is intended to fund the development of capacity to do clinical research... [and] to study those co-infections, to define those patients at highest risk and to intervene and help them in a cost-effective way.” SEE AIDS ON PAGE 6

lice unit outside Cafe Parizade late Thursday night, a group of students filed a formal complaint Monday with the Duke University Police Department. Details of the grievance were unavailable Monday as the DUPD prepared an internal investigation into the events. Several students, however, alleged that officers denied them access to a party hosted by a fraternity from North Carolina Central University, a historically black college, and mocked them for questioning the police presence swarming the parking lot of one of the most popular nightclubs among Duke students. “I understand that police have discretion in terms of what parties they cover and what parties they do not,” senior Caroline Baker said. “It’s more the way they treated us that upsets me. We’re Duke students, we weren’t drunk or belligerent, we were just asking questions in a situation that looks racial and suspicious.” Renee Vaughn, a senior, said DUPD officers mocked her when she asked why there were more police than were customary for Thursday night parties regularly sponsored by Duke organizations at SEE

ICC brings campus, community leaders together Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

Nearly three dozen of the students and administrators who shape undergraduate life on campus gathered Monday night for the first meeting of the Intercommunity Council, which many attendees said was more ceremonious than productive. Residential life and safety were the themes as Durham Mayor Bill Bell and Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, addressed the group of campus leaders. Crime, Bell said, is the “biggest challenge” the city faces. “Unfortunately, in Durham, we’ve taken a turn in having more violence as a result of gangs,” said Bell, noting that the overall crime rate was down even as rape and murder rates have risen. He added that the increase in gang Bill Bell activity made elementary and high school students particularly vulnerable, and he encouraged Duke students to become mentors in local schools. The mayor also gave an overview of the major projects

Durham will undertake in the next year, highlighting downtown revitalization efforts and the long-term development of transport networks through the region, before he darted out of the meeting immediately after his short speech. Moneta served as a substitute keynote speaker for the evening when President Richard Brodhead, who was originally planned to speak, was busy hosting a dessert party for the Class of 2008. Moneta attempted to “connect the dots” of residential life at Duke and explained how the administration has pushed through a coherent vision of campus community. He detailed student protests against putting all freshmen on East Campus a decade ago and explained how the decision to create a first-year experience eventually led Duke to move fraternities and selective living groups off the main West Campus quadrangle and to house all sophomores on West.

NEW YORK Republicans belittled Democratic Sen. John Kerry as a shift-in-thewind campaigner unworthy of the White House Monday, opening their national convention four miles from Ground Zero of America’s worst terrorist attack. “We need George Bush more than ever,” said former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. “We need a leader with the experience to make the tough decisions and the resolve to stick with them,” agreed Sen. John McCain ofArizona. He called the invasion of Iraq “necessary, achievable and noble.”

he told an interviewer he doubted victory is possible in the war on terror. “I don’t think you can win it. But I think you can create the conditions that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world,” Bush said on NBC. Kerry responded that the struggle was “absolutely” winnable and Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards said Bush’s remark amounted to a conces-

sion of defeat in the war that terrorists launched in 2001. White House spokesperson Scott McClellan hastened to clarify the president’s remarks, saying Bush meant the war was not a conventional one, and neither would be its ending. There was no misunderstanding Giuliani’s meaning as the former mayor recalled the day the president stood atop a pile of rubble at Ground Zero and vowed to avenge the attacks. He likened Bush to Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill for holding fast to his convictions in the face of ridicule.

Sharon announces new withdrawal plan by

Mark Lavie

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wants all 21 Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip evacuated at the same time instead of in three stages, officials said Monday, reflecting a major shift in tactics in his pullout plan. Sharon’s goal is to prevent drawn-out and violent confrontations between settlers and the security forces, as well as multiple confrontations in his Cabinet. According his “unilateral disengagement” plan as approved in June, the Gaza settlements are to be removed in three stages by the end of September 2005. Four small West Bank settlements are also to be evacuated. Sharon presented the new formula Monday to his Security Cabinet, a forum of senior ministers. Dropping the staged pullout of Gaza is meant to stifle criticism and limit armed resistance to what

would be the first time Israel has ever removed authorized settiein the West Bank or Gaza. Since Sharon first raised the plan in December, setders have been organizing to resist. Though most of the 8,000 Gaza setders are expected to accept compensation or alternative housing and leave quietly, a small hard core of settlers would likely dig in and try to fend off security forces. Removing all 21 settlements at once would be practical, said political analyst Hanan Crystal. “If they do it in stages, the same thousand settlers will run from one place to the next” to resist, he told The Associated Press. “If they do it all at once, where can they run?” The one-off evacuation also helps Sharon solve political problems. Faced with a Cabinet rebellion, Sharon rammed the plan through in June, but had to agree to additional votes for each stage of the evacuation. ments

THE CHRONICLE

Reports released last week by the U.S. Census Bureau have shed light on the growing economic problems that affect North Carolina residents, particularly children. The state is one of just seven nationwide to see a rise in the poverty rate and one of 10 states in which the median household income declined. Data from the American Community Survey and the Current Population Survey, released Thursday by the Census Bureau, showed that 15 percent of North Carolinians are living under the poverty line, compared with 13.4 percent last year. Although the cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill are not as severely afflicted, 11.1 percent of people in the Triangle are living in poverty. Only two states —Nevada and South Dakota—saw a greater increase than North Carolina in the number of people classified as poor. The reports also show that North Carolina’s children have been hit hard by the nation’s economic downturn, with 22.5 percent of the state’s children under the age of five living below the poverty level. This is a particularly troublesome problem for the state, some experts say. “Surprisingly, [children] are poorer than average and they’re even more poor when they’re really young,” said Carol Spruill, an associate dean at the Duke School ofLaw. “Their parents are poorer because most people tend to make more money as they go further in [their careers].” She added that because childcare is so expensive, and the cost becomes a burden early in parents’ careers, there is no “social safety net” for poorer people to stay at home with their children. The amount of money that North Carolinaresidents are bringing in, on average, also slipped. The median household income in North Carolina fell by $1,189 from Fiscal Year 2001-02 to FY 2002-03—a

Through service community work and legal aid opportunities, she said she hopes to help her students and colleagues reach a greater awareness of the problem of modern poverty. “The general public doesn’t want to be confronted with the ugly reality of it,” she said. “I would like for people to be more educated about the extent of poverty and about how little we have in place to protect the most vulnerable people.”

Heavy rain slams East, spares West THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The remains of Tropical Storm Gaston continued to push across North Carolina and Virginia on Monday, causing flash floods. Storms also developed over much of the East, while the West remained dry. A few storm cells became severe, producing localized flash flooding. The National Weather Service received reports of 10 to 14 inches of rain in Richmond, Va., where floodwaters sent cars floating down streets and stranded people in downtown buildings. Showers and thunderstorms remained in the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the eastern Ohio Valley, the Appalachians and Tennessee. Flash flood warnings were also issued in central New York. Widespread showers and thunderstorms hung over the Gulf Coast and parts of Florida as well. In the central third of the nation, showers tapered off as they crossed the western GreatLakes. Light rain also lingered over parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The northern Plains were dry with partly cloudy skies. In the West, low clouds and fog hung over the Pacific Coast. The Pacific Northwest and Desert Southwest enjoyed mostly sunny skies and dry conditions.

PARIZADE from page 1 Parizade. DUPD’s jurisdiction expanded to include areas around East Campus and Ninth Street —including Parizade—at the beginning of the school year. ‘Just out of curiosity, my roommate and I asked why there was extra security,” said Vaughn, who described the police presence as “huge” relative to many other nights at the club. “Some of the cops were very rude. When they walked away, they started singing ‘We Shall Overcome,’ but when we asked them about it, they denied singing it.” Baker recalled arriving at Parizade around 12:30 a.m. Thursday night and finding approximately eight DUPD cars in the parking lot and “no one out front except police.” She estimated that stationed several yards in front of the expansive courtyard entrance there were 12 to 15 officers who said the establishment was full to the capacity allowed by fire codes and prevented students from entering the party, which was thrown by the NCCU chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. “I’ve seen [Parizade] much more full than that,” said Baker, who described herself as a frequent patron of the Main Street club. “It didn’t look crowded, but even some of the people who were throwing the party couldn’t get in.” When Baker questioned the police presence, she said, the officers were not responsive and told her, ‘Just walk away, ma’am.” Vaughn said she asked some of the DUPD officers for their names and badge numbers, but several of them told her that they were not required to give that information. One senior who had been at Verde, the restaurant and late-night bar next to Parizade, said he came over to see why so many police officers and vehicles were present. The student, who spoke on the

condition of anonymity “to keep from throwing gas on the fire,” repeatedly asked the police officers on the scene why they were there, he said, but the officers refused to answer and became agitated. Later, one officer “bumrushed” him while he was talking to a friend near the Parizade entrance, grabbing him and tearing his shirt, the student said. DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead said he is “still trying to get all the facts” and that he does not know which officers were assigned to Parizade Thursday. It will be at least several days, he said, until the investigation yields any results. “I have received a formal complaint, and we will begin investigating,” he said. “Any allegation of unprofessional behavior by a police officer is serious, and if any wrongdoing occurred we will uncover it.” Management at Cafe Parizade said police presence was heavier than usual Thursday, but that nothing outside of the establishment seemed out of the ordinary. ‘We requested the police officers; we use them for security,” said Charles Tolo, one of the club’s managers. ‘There were more police officers because someone called them, saying that their car had been broken into. If anything, the only thing that was unusual was that [customers] came unusually early.” Tolo said that a customary Thursday police complement at the nightclub is between two and five police officers. Like Baker, he estimated there were eight police cars in the parking lot Thursday. The club received no complaints from any of the event’s organizers or any partygoers. Saturday night’s “Iced Out” party, held at Parizade by Duke’s Delta Tau Delta fraternity, saw larger crowds but a smaller police presence. “I wouldn’t pin it as a racial issue,” Vaughn said. “It just seemed very odd that there was so much more security there that night.”

AIDS from page 1 Bartlett recently stepped down as direcof the infectious diseases clinic and will spend much of his time at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre in Tanzania coordinating the infrastructural buildup. Dr. Nathan Thielman, assistant professor of medicine, will take over from Bardett but will also be involved in the epidemiological data collection portion of the grant. One of the study’s major goals is to develop the infrastructure in Tanzania to allow an independent research team to continue clinical care after the NIH funding runs out. Much of the grant will be spent on equipment, laboratory space and the training of Tanzanian scientists. “By developing research [in Tanzania], we provide a service that directly helps the population,” said Dr. Pascal Goldschmidt, chair of the Department of Medicine. “We won’t look like a parachute doctor group, take samples and go back home. We teach collaborators and learn from them the art of research.” The grant is structured so that research will be done on several different topics. Dr. Gary Cox, assistant professor of medicine and a co-investigator focusing on fungal infections, believes that although the research will be challenging, Tanzanians will benefit from the work. ‘There is a distribution program that allows for free anti-fungal drugs to be given to the patient population,” Cox said. “We Just need away to figure out how to target patients who would benefit most and [to] research on optimum doses for fungal infections. The most important part is to increase the capacity of the local population to identify and to formally diagnose these fungal infections so that they can implement the programs after we leave.” The grant will also facilitate a doctor-extor

Many say Duke’s recent push for international health is due to the guidance ofits new leadership, Chancellor for Health Affairs Victor Dzau and University President Richard Brodhead. “I think that Victor Dzau and Dick Brodhead are very keen on solving both local and worldwide medical problems—in particular those that relate to under-served communities,” Goldschmidt said.

Navy on deck, Duke set to sail by

The dream begins with a nightmare. Duke head football coach Ted Roof has prepared his entire life to be a head football coach, but he leads the Blue Devils for the first time without the word “interim” in his job title against Navy, arguably the toughest team in the nation for which to prepare. Observed individually, the Midshipmen appear only modestly impressive. But when united, the team> pounding option-oriented offense combined with its ferocious defense has allowed Navy to maximize its talent under the tutelage of head coach Paul Johnson. Last season the Midshipmen finished with an 8-5 record and appeared in the EVl.net Houston Bowl. “We’ve got a ways to go,” Roof said. “Usually [for the first game of the season] you start preparing for the opponent around Thursday, so you get a week and a couple of days. But because of the nature of the opponent, we started a couple days early. Last Tuesday we actually started working on a lot of Navy stuff.” The Midshipmen return 15 starters from last year’s squad, and 18 seniors are expected to start for the Academy. In contrast, the Blue Devils, who start only six seniors and will have to rely on true freshmen. ‘We’re probably going to play somewhere in between 12 and 14 true freshmen,” Roof said. “That can be a little nerve-racking.

football Duke has a pretty impressive football history, though it may not seem that way. In 1938, the famed “Iron Dukes” defense set a remarkable standard for defensive dominance, shutting out their opponents in all nine regular season games. In fact, were it not for a last-minute touchdown, the Blue Devils would have won the school’s first national championship eight years before Mike Krzyzewski was even born. In 1941, Duke outscored its opponents by an average of nearly 30 points per game to earn to a Rose Bowl berth. All told, the Blue Devils boast eight bowl appearances and three bowl victories. Since then, Duke football has become the red-headed stepchild of the ACC. Granted, Duke—at least as long as Krzyzewski remains head coach—will probably always be a basketball school. And with the new souped-up ACC, it’s difficult to envision the Blue Devils even winning the conference, much less seriously contending for the national tide. But mark this down: The Blue Devils finally have the coaching and recruits to win football games consistently. And in the next four years, Ted Roof will do just that and take Duke to its fourth bowl victory. “Our attitude is different this year,” safety Brian Greene said. “We have more confidence in ourselves, and we have more confidence in the people who are coaching us. We just enjoy being around Coach Roof, he’s a great guy.” A great guy, indeed. After Carl Franks was fired, Roof took a team that had been humiliated by a sub.soo Wake Forest and transformed it into a squad that manhandled Georgia Tech, beat archrival North Carolina for the first time in 13 years and gave bowl-bound N.C. State and Tennessee all they could handle. In just five weeks as interim head coach, Roof revitalized a squad that had been demoralized by a 2-5 opening. To put that in perspective, the Blue SEE BOWL ON PAGE 10

Greg Czaja THE CHRONICLE

Monday evening was muggy, and the effects of Tropical Depression Gaston could still be felt. Only a few thousand fans showed up for the weekday contest at Durham Bulls Athletic Park and even fewer were left by the evening’s conclusion. Perhaps nothing could be more unappealing to the members DURHAM |4 of the Durham Bulls than the words RICHMOND 3 “Let’s play two.” Yet that is exactly RICHMOND what transpired in DURHAM 3 downtown Durham Monday night, as the fans were treated to an exciting doubleheader between the Bulls (74-63) and their division rivals, the Richmond Braves (73-58). The two squads split the games, with the Bulls losing 5-3 in extra innings in the first game and winning 4-3 in the nightcap. After the split, the Bulls remain two games behind the division-leading Braves and four games ahead of the idle ScrantonWB Red Barons in the wild card race. -

doubleheader split

Durham gained a half game on the Pawtucket Red Sox, who lost 21-5 to the Rochester Red Wings, in the wild card race. ‘That second game was definitely a big game for us,” Durham manager Bill Evers said. ‘We came back and got some big timely hits.” The biggest hit of all was Paul Hoover’s go-ahead double in the sixth, which all but clinched the Bulls’ evening victory. After third baseman Jared Sandberg reached first on an error, Hoover hit a ball into deep right-center field. The ball slammed off the wall, and the relay throw came straight to second. No one on the Richmond squad was able to field the throw cleanly, and Sandberg came in to score the go-ahead run. Franklin Nunez pitched a 1-2-3 seventh to pick up the save. The opening contest went into extra innings—regulation doubleheader games last seven innings in the International League, but a 3-3 tie forced the two clubs to play a pair of additional frames. The Indians took the lead in the top of

flying over them. There’s something different about a 23-year-old young man and an 18-year-old kid. A lot happens between 18 and 23.” Without standouts such as Lance Johnson, Khary Sharpe, Reggie Love, Chris Douglas, Alex Wade and Drew Strojny and with new offensive coordinator Marty Galbraith, the Duke offense should look substantially different from last season’s. Despite the extreme amount of turnover, Roof expects the offense to be productive in 2004. “The younger receivers have improved a lot since spring practice,” he said. “I think they were a little confused during spring ball, but through practice, they’ve gotten better and I think they’ve made the older receivers better. As far as our identity on offense goes, our buzzword has to be ‘efficient.’ We’re not going to blow anybody away, but with the ball, we have to be efficient.” The offensive voids have left a particularly large opportunity for redshirt sophomore tight end Ben Patrick. The Savannah, Ga., native had 218 receiving yards and also provided impressive blocking in 2003. The Sporting News named Patrick Third Team Freshman AllAmerica last season. “He was elected captain as a redshirt sophomore,” Roof said. “I haven’t been around that too much. He comes to work every day, he pushes himself and he pushes his teammates.” Patrick joins Andy Roland and Galen Powell as one of the best tight end trios in the nation. The versatile Curt Dukes, a player much hyped when he transferred to Duke from Nebraska, looks to help the Blue Devils in mosdy a supporting role. Though he is listed as only a backup holder on the depth chart released Monday, Roof said he expects Dukes to play multiple positions this year, including quarterback. Sophomore Mike Schneider will begin the season as the team’s starting quarterback, though senior co-captain Chris Dapolito will “definitely” play Saturday, Roof said. “I go into each week preparing mentally knowing that I will play,” Dapolito said. “It doesn’t change how I go about things. I love the game so much it doesn’t matter if I play or not. I’m still going to have a good time.” Although the unit lost All-ACC performers Ryan Fowler and Mike Zielinski, Duke’s defense is composed of mostly

Devils’ scoring differential was -15.1 points per game before he took over. Over the last five games that differential was -5 points per game, a 10-point swing despite a more difficult schedule. Now firmly established as the head coach, Roof has attracted one of the best coaching staffs the Blue Devils have had in recent memory. New offensive coordinator Marty Galbraith was in the NFL last year as the tight ends coach for the Arizona Cardinals. Before that, he drew up plays for Chad Pennington at Marshall and Phillip Rivers at N.C. State. Should Blue Devil quarterbacks need any more tutelage, they can turn to new quarterbacks coach Tommy Knotts, who coached Chris Leak in high school. Additionally, as the coach of a program that had not lost a game in four seasons, Knotts brings the winning attitude to the Blue Devils they sorely need. Wide receivers coach David Kelly tutored Hines Ward, Kelly Campbell, Troy Edwards and Josh Reed in college. Armed with a new coaching staff, Roof

Roof is confident about his team’s chances against Navy but still worried about the long-term. For Roof, Duke football is not just about one game in Annapolis, Md., but a philosophy and a mentality that will lead the University to success in the future.

“I think [a victory over Navy] would certainly give us some confidence and confidence is such a powerful thing,” Roof said.

“What we believe in, what we do, isn’t based on one game. The foundation of our program is not based on what happens in one game, but maybe it will generate some enthusiasm outside the program, maybe dump some fuel on that fire.”

has also shown that he can secure the necessary talent to start winning football games. Not only did he garner four commitments the week after being named interim head coach, he was able to cobble together an impressive class, complete with a U.S. Army All-American, despite the lack of a coaching staff or a definite job. This year, he has looked even more impressive on the recruiting trail after receiving verbal commitments from four commitmentsrated in the three-star range by theinsiders.com. In comparison, the Blue Devils received only six commitments rated in that range or higher in the past three recruiting seasons combined. “I feel like it’s been a dream come true for [Ryan Wood] to be able to play Division I football and go to an institution like Duke and play for a coaching staff like Roof,” said Dexter Wood, head coach of Buford High School—winners of 45 consecutive football games—and father of Duke commitment Ryan Wood. “I’ve observed a lot of coaching staffs in my 30 years and I’ve never seen one like Duke.” Ever since former coach Steve Spurrier left, neither have the Blue Devils.

Hysteria is in the air The Palestinian Solidarity Movement (PSM) is organizing its fourth annual conference, to be held Oct. 15-17 at Duke. As was the case for the previous conferences at Berkeley, Michigan and Ohio State, a shrill disinformation campaign is under way to undercut and derail the Duke conference. A web petition drive for President Brodhead denounces PSM as anti-Semitic, supporting terrorism and advocating the destruction ofIsrael. Alarmist letters parroting the same accusations were recently published in The Chronicle and similar ones will no doubt continue to appear. These accusations are not based on truth and aim at invalidating and muffling criticism of Israeli policies toward Palestinians. Palestinians are often accused of favoring terrorism rather than building democracy. Well, here is a Palestinian-American student organization engaged in the very ctemocratic practice of talking and criticizing, and they are being slammed for it! One of their most vocal critics is the Boston Israel Action Committee that, besides spreading disinformation on PSM, also smears Jewish organizations

sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, several of which endorsed the earlier conferences. One wonders whether PSM opponents are essentially terrified by criticism of Israel. Yes, expect plenty of criticism of the U.S. and Israel at this conference. There may even be criticism of Palestinians. The occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the Palestinian right of return, divestment from Israel as a tool to end the occupation and other issues will be discussed. Will it all be... fair and balanced? My guess is that some will and some won’t. But it will be a counterpoint to the mid-east perspectives of the U.S. and Israeli governments, prevalent in most of this country’s news with little regard for Palestinian views. Come and find out for yourself. Duke, as an institution dedicated to debate and analysis, can only gain from listening to and engaging PSM. If New York can host the Republican Convention, Duke can host the PSM conference. Daniele Armaleo Assistant Professor of Biology

IQ not a prereq for President

Journalists, reporters and especially opinion columnists have the luxury of looking at world events in hindsight and substituting their judgment for that of elected policymakers and decision makers. This is all fine and good, except for the fact that Matt Dearborn wasn’t getting daily intelligence reports revealing the links (confirmed by the Sept. 11 commission report) between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, Saddam’s pursuit if not possession of weapons of mass destruction and the more general yet troublesome effects of tyranny and repression in the Middle East, particularly regarding the rise of terrorism. But Dearborn, in his Aug. 30 column takes this often tried tactic of journalists one step further. He not only substitutes his own (flawed) judgment for President George W. Bush, but makes the intellectual leap of deciding what a Brodhead foreign policy would look like, without any formal interview or seemingly, a conversation. In addition to this journalistic blunder, Dearborn makes some questionable substantive claims as well. He assumes that because President Brodhead is intelligent (no doubt

he is brilliant), he is qualified to become leader of the free world. Some of the United States’ greatest leaders were not overly intelligent and some of the 20th century’s worst presidents have been brilliant. Nixon a Duke alum, and Carter were both intelligent men, but that didn’t prevent the former from showing some serious lapses in character and the latter from executing one of the least effective foreign policies in modern times. Ronald Reagan, like George W. Bush was considered to be “a dunce” and “a cowboy.” Reagan, however, played a significant role in the demise of the Soviet Union, and George W. Bush, according to MIT international relations expert John Lewis Gaddis, will be remembered as one of the great “grand strategists” of the modem era, effecting a dramatic shift toward liberty and democracy in the Middle East. The prerequisites for a qualified commander in chief are vision, boldness and moral clarity... and not necessarily a high score on the SAT.

of the past: When I was your age, I wanted be an actress. I wanted it so much that I even auditioned for a performing arts program without my parents’ permission and made it. There, I honed all my skills as an entertainer; I even got to perform a small role in a play in front of my peers. My teachers said I had talent, and I believed them. I wasn’t only going to be an actress; I was going to be a star. But that’s not my goal anymore. I can’t be an actress or a fireman or a circus clown. I have to worry about the logistics of my future: earning a decent income and supporting a family. There are too many complications stopping me from pursuing the whimsical aspirations of my youth. In fact, there are too many complications stopping me from pursuing anything of my youth. On some days, I.don’t have time to go outside and ride my bike; I have too much reading to do for my lit class. I can’t spend my summers wanting to go to the pool everyday; I have to work and save money. I don’t know if you understand the reasoning behind all of this, but one day, you will understand it all too well. Occasionally, I feel like I’ve been living longer than my two decades. Whenever I see high school students horsing around, I think to jma jang myself, “Those darn kids,” missing the guiity by associasian, complete irony that I was their age a mere few years ago. I feel so old when I stress out about all the responsibilities I have; sometimes, I believe that the weight of the world is crushing me. I’m only 19, but sometimes on those days, I feel like I’m 90. But yesterday, I didn’t feel so old. Yesterday, I got a happy meal for dinner, and it was in the same colorful cardboard box with the golden arch handles that I used to get as a kid. It sparked a conversation about those days when McDonald’s toys were actually appealing to children, like Beanie Babies and Halloween buckets. Afterward, I went to go see a movie. I almost didn’t because I knew I had a pile of work to do (including this column), but I pushed that nagging thought to the back of my mind and enjoyed the film. And later, I went outside and played whiffle ball in the dark. If you were walking around on West at the time, you might have heard shouts of encouragement and peals of laughter coming from our direction. Yesterday, I didn’tfeel so old. Self of the present: Yes, it’s important to plan for the future, but don’t get so caught up in it thatyou forget the simple joy of existing. Cracking open a book for fun while listening to the soft patter of rain; climbing a tree and ignoring the sting of scratches and splinters; spending Saturday morning watching cartoons in your pajamas while eating Coco Puffs. Cliche as it may sound, the little things in life really are what makes it worth living. I will always remember this one poster I saw in a classroom that read, “Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.” At the time, I thought it was just a cute saying; but as life goes on, I see the pertinence of that statement more and more. Who ever said that the activities we enjoyed doing, or the things we used as children are only for children? If you want to put on your red Mickey Mouse raincoat and go play in the rain, scratch that itch. If you want to color in your Disney Princess coloring book or buy that plastic blue piggy bank, feel free to do so. Don’t concern yourself with the protocols of society or the opinions of others. Simple pleasures won’t prevent you from becoming the next president or the next Agatha Christie. Sometimes, the innocence of a child can open your eyes to the important things. Self of the future: Remember the past, live in the present, plan for the future and never forget to do one without the others. No regrets.
