Mt. Olive boycott inauguration to move inside ends after 5 years Paul Crowley THE CHRONICLE

by

Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

After five years of pickets and protests that entangled Duke in many ways, the boycott of the North Carolina-based Mt. Olive Pickle Company will officially end today.

Officials from the Farm Labor Organizing Committee, a union-instigating and farmworker rights group, reached a settlement with Mt. Olive earlier this month about farmworker conditions and cucumber pricing that enabled FLOG to end its call for a boycott. The North Carolina Growers Association, which includes most farmers in the state, agreed to a separate contract with FLOG that ensures union recognition and includes several steps FLOG said will improve worker conditions.

More details about both agreements will be released at a 10 a.m. press conference today

in Raleigh, but officials from both Mt. Olive and FLOG are de-

claring victory.

“It’s just been a

matter

of

time,” said Brendan Greene, boycott organizer for FLOG. “We were always really confident that we were going to win the struggle.”

FLOG called the boycott in 1999 as part of its efforts to help unionize and improve conditions for migrant farm workers, who pick many of the cucumbers that become Mt. Olive pickles. Mt. Olive and FLOG have struggled over the issues and conditions of the boycott since the beginning.

Mt. Olive ought to use its position as the dominant purchaser of North Carolina cucumbers to regulate worker conditions on farms, FLOG organizers said.

They added that better working conditions could arise from a three-way contract among Mt. Olive, growers and FLOG, as the representative of the workers.

Such an agreement would be against Mt. Olive policy, said Lynn Williams, community relations director for the company.

Like Duke, Mt. Olive has always taken the position that it is inappropriate for an institution to force the workers of its subcontracted vendors, in this case the growers, to unionize.

Williams said Wednesday that Mt. Olive still held “exactly the position we’ve always had.”

The agreement with FLOG was possible because NCGA worked SEE MT. OLIVE ON PAGE 8

As workers put up tents and continue preparations for weekend inaugural festivities (above), President Richard Brodhead has had a full slate of meetand-greets with students, including dinner at the Marketplace Monday (left). Despite inclement weather predictions, some inauguration celebrations will take place outside.

Those spectators who will have to watch President Richard Brodhead’s inauguration on television rather than in person can blame it on the rain—or at least the threat Of rain.

Planners decided to move Brodhead’s Saturday afternoon inauguration from the Chapel Quadrangle to the Chapel’s interior to avoid possible inclement weather resulting from Hurricane Ivan. The ceremony will be broadcast on closed-circuit television in nearby Page Auditorium as well as Reynolds and Griffith Theaters in the Bryan Center. The move will reduce the number of available seats by approximately 500.

The inaugural ceremony is the only component of the weeklong celebration that has been moved to date. Other outdoor events, like today’s gathering in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens at which Brodhead will meet and greet auxiliary staff members, have not been relocated. The official inauguration was moved Wednesday because of the amount of preparation needed SEE INAUGURATION ON PAGE 4

Stolberg THE CHRONICLE

Alcohol and politics took censtage at the opening session of the Duke Student Government Wednesday night, as the assembly started the year off with a full schedule of legislation and controversy.

Student government leaders presented the first reading of a bill that proposes to use money from a DSG surplus account to fund alcohol subsidies. Seniors Andrew Wisnewski, executive vice president, and Dave Rausen, Student Organization Finance Committee chair, hope the bill will improve on-campus social programming by supporting alcohol purchases. The legislation allocates $5,000 a year from DSG’s approximately $120,000 in excess funding, discovered last spring during an audit, for alcohol-related expenses such as kegs and University bartenders for campus organizations’ events.

The current cost of $3OO per ter

Although the SOFC by-laws specifically ban the use of DSG funds to purchase alcohol, all of the subsidy money would come from the surplus fund, meaning it would not detracting from funding currendy slated for student groups, Rausen said.

“One thing we’re trying to do with this is providing an impetus to create more visible, better at-

The bill, which will come before DSG for a vote in two weeks, is contingent upon the passage of a new constitutional bylaw creating a board of trustees to oversee the surplus account. The proposed five-person board, which will include the DSG president, executive vice president, chief of staff, treasurer and SOFC chair, would be responsible for allocating budget requests from the excess funding and presenting them to the Senate for a vote.

Money from the fund would be directed toward “really special projects that couldn’t be normally funded by the programming fund... we’re thinking of those great idealists out there,” Rausen said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With 135-mph HurNEW ORLEANS ricane Ivan closing in with frightening intensity, this flood-prone city scrambled Wednesday to get people out ofharm’s way, putting the frail and elderly in the cavernous Louisiana Superdome and urging others to move to higher floors in tall buildings.

Ivan made a slight turn north on a path that could bring it ashore early Thursday at the Alabama-Mississippi line, near Mobile, Ala., but forecasters said everyone from New Orleans to the Panhandle should be worried. Even the tiniest adjustment in the storm track could change where Ivan

comes ashore by hundreds of miles The effects from Ivan could be seen across the Gulf Coast several hours before the storm’s expected arrival: The churning surf, ominous clouds, swaying traffic lights and escalating winds were all the reminders some people needed to take cover. The storm also claimed its first deaths in the United States, spinning off tornadoes that killed two people in Panama City, Fla. Others were trapped inside their damaged homes in the Panhandle city.

‘We have a report from a deputy that it looks like a war zone,” said sheriff’s spokesperson Ruth Sasser.

Hurricane-force winds extended out 105

miles from the Category 4 storm, meaning a large swath of the Gulf Coast could get slammed with a storm surge of 10 to 16 feet and up to 15 inches ofrain. Ivan threatened to stall over the Southeast and southern Appalachians, with a potential for as much as 20 inches ofrain.

Ivan’s monster waves—some up to 25 feet—were already destroying homes along the Florida coast Wednesday. Twelve-foot waves boomed ashore at Gulf Shores, Ala., eroding the beach. A buoy about 300 miles south of Panama City registered waves over 34 feet high.

Sharon dismisses U.S.-backed peace plan by

Karin Laub

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Israel will not follow the “road map,” Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in an interview published Wednesday, acknowledging he is casting aside the U.S.-backed peace plan for now, even as Washington insists it is still valid.

In violence Wednesday, 10 Palestinians were killed in two confrontations with Israeli troops, the highest single-day death toll in the West Bank since 2002. Among those killed were at least seven armed fugitives and an 11-year-old girl.

The fighting came at the start of the Jewish New Year, and Israeli troops enforced a tight holiday closure of the West Bank and Gaza. Palestinians will be barred from Israel at least through the end of the month.

Sharon is pushing ahead with his plan of “unilateral disengage-

merit” from the Palestinians—a withdrawal from Gaza and four West Bank setdements in 2005.

In an interview with the Yediot Ahronot daily, he outlined his long-term vision for the region, saying that after the withdrawal, “it is very possible... there will be a long period when nothing else happens.”

Sharon said that as long as there is no significant shift in the Palestinian leadership and policy, “Israel will continue its war on terrorism, and will stay in the territories that will remain after the implementation of disengagement.”

The road map was adopted by Israel and the Palestinians last year but never got off the ground, with both sides failing to meet even initial obligations. The plan envisioned a Palestinian state in

Tiffany Webber THE CHRONICLE

Although the Freeman Center for

Jewish Life

will serve six meals on food points between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, students continue to express concern about the lack of kosher dining options at Duke.

Currently, the University offers prepackaged frozen kosher meals from outside vendors at the Great Hall, weekly Friday night Shabbat dinners for free and now, holiday meals on food points. Nonetheless, officials and students say the University has not provided enough kosher options on campus since the closing of the FCJL kosher kitchen at the end of Spring 2003.

“The University has been helpful,” said Jonathan Gerstl, executive director of Jewish life. “We get meals on high holidays, students can pay for them with food points, but we still have had to underwrite some of the costs.”

Jim Wulforst, director of Dining Services, said there is a “strong possibility” for kosher dining to improve at Duke in the future. Those plans, however, have yet to materialize.

High labor rates, coupled with low student interest in the kosher meal board plan, contributed to the kitchen’s financial insolubility as a daily eatery, despite the fact that some students and administrators consider it a necessity. At

the beginning of Fall 2003, only 24 students signed up for the meal plan, and at the semester’s close only nine students actually used it. The FCJL needed at least 150 students to eat there five nights a week in order for the kitchen to remain economically sound.

“If you don’t have [kosher dining], it’s hard to attract kosher eating students,” Gerstl said, recognizing the financial dilemma the University faces with providing kosher dining. “[However] ARAMARK raised their rates this year—the labor rates have gone up dramatically.”

Students who pump iron in Wilson Recreation Center are following the advice ofresearchers who say moderate exercise is best.

INAUGURATION to ready the Chapel Quad for the 4,500 attendees that were initially expected.

“It was a decision that was made after consulting with many different people,” said Vice President and University Secretary Allison Haltom, a member of the inaugural committee. “You don’t set up for an outdoor ceremony with 4,000-plus chairs in a couple of hours. It takes days.”

The ceremony was originally slated to allow for roughly 4,500 spectators to view the events in person, but the newly configured inaugural proceedings will permit approximately 1,500 to view Brodhead’s installation in the Chapel. The theaters where the ceremony will be broadcast hold roughly 2,400 more. Although the venues’ capacities will limit the number of spectators, University officials said decreased attendance may

Angela Munasque THE CHRONICLE

In addition to academic concerns, extracurricular commitments and everything else in a Duke student’s life, most students are interested in maintaining their health.

They can be seen running around East Campus and pumping iron in the weight room. They are even clamoring for longer gym hours.

As the semester wears on, however, it becomes more difficult to squeeze in exercise amid accumulating schoolwork and demanding activities. The good news is that workouts do not necessarily have to be grueling in order for students to enjoy health benefits.

A joint study conducted by Duke University Medical Center and East Carolina University specialists found that walking approximately six miles a week may be adequate for weight management in most sedentary people. Published in the Archives of Internal Medicine Jan. 12, the researchers of Studies of Targeted Risk Reduction Interventions through Defined Exercise I, also known as STRRIDE I, found that most individuals can maintain their current weight by walking 30 minutes each day.

Dr. William Kraus, a cardiologist and the study’s principal investigator, explained that the objective of STRRIDE I was to determine the health effects of different intensities and amounts ofcardiovascular exercise.

Previously, it was not known how much activity was required to prevent weight gain and to decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease, hypertension and the like, said Joseph Houmard, director of the ECU Human Performance Laboratory.

Participants in STRRIDE I were sedentary and overweight or slightly obese adults between the ages of 40 and 65. They were randomized into three groups of varied exercise levels that were equal to briskly walking 12 miles a alleviate any possible seating crunch.

“Our suspicion is that with heavy rain, fewer people will attend,” said John Burness, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations.

Although the indoor location is a change from previous Duke inaugurations, the event’s organizers said the Chapel is an entirely appropriate location for Brodhead’s installation.

“The atmosphere of the Chapel is such a staple of the Duke environment,” said senior Amanda Earp, the lone undergraduate member of the inaugural committee. “I think it is a definite plus to have all that history as part of the ceremony.”

Earp also predicted that student interest in the event will not be lessened by the change of venue.

‘The definite pro of having the inauguration take place outdoors is that it’s more open, where anyone could walk in,” she said. “I think that a large number of students are

week, jogging 12 miles a week and jogging 20 miles a

week. A fourth group, which served as a control, remained sedentary.

Kraus said the setup was created in order to be able to study two different exercise intensities and two different exercise durations simultaneously. Connie Bales, president-elect of the American College of Nutrition, directed the participants not to change their diets so that exercise alone could be evaluated.

Although participants that walked the equivalent of 12 miles a week experienced health benefits, those in the highest intensity group lost the most body weight and gained the most lean body mass. Conversely, those in the sedentary group were the only participants to

gain weight.

The same research team has now moved on to STRRIDE 11, which will focus instead on the health benefits of resistance training. ‘The claims on benefits of resistance training on health are supported by very few data,” Kraus said. STRRIDE 11, a $3.1 million five-year project funded by the National Institutes of Health, is one of the few large-scale clinical trials exploring this mode of exercise.

The recommendations for physical activity made available to the public by government agencies are mainly based on statistical data, rather than controlled scientific studies, Houmard said. One of the study’s goals is to provide test-proven information that will enable people to create exercise regimens that fit into their lifestyles, yet still produce healthy results.

Kraus noted that the average American gains one pound a year, but Duke students can breathe easy as long as they follow his general guidelines; “Any [exercise] is better than nothing.” But he also is quick to stress, as an encouragement to all those who do favor a more intense workout, “More is better than less.” to attend the event—I’m extremely optimistic.”

In addition to formalizing the succession from former President Nan Keohane to Brodhead, the inauguration presents a chance for the new president to outline his vision after several months on the job.

KeOhane’s own inaugural address nearly 11 years ago foreshadowed many of her priorities as president. Her speech in front of the Chapel dealt with the University’s relationship to Durham, its commitment to interdisciplinarity and the need to strengthen its curriculum. All three of these issues received much ofKeohane’s attention during her tenure.

Brodhead faces the same opportunity to outline his priorities, and at least one of the event’s planners said the vision will matter more than the venue.

“I don’t think it’s going to dampen anyone’s spirits to have [the speech] simulcast,” Earp said.

DSG

from page 1

Wednesday’s meeting was a discussion about Duke for Kerry’s bid for DSG recognition and SOFC funding.

After members questioned whether the student body should allocate funding to the candidate-driven political group, legislators approved the group for recognition and agreed to fund it $1,195 for an upcoming Sept. 25 rally. Duke for Kerry President Andrew Collins, a former University editor and current columnist for The Chronicle, requested $2,070 from SOFC for the event. SOFC denied some funds for items such as decorative balloons because they would constitute

“partisan funding.”

The SOFC bylaws

state that “no activity supporting the elecdon of candidates to political office shall be funded,” however, the legislation also includes an explanation clarifying that in the interest of preserving educational activities, not all political organizations should be ruled out for funding. Rausen said he interpreted this rally as an educational event.

“We’re not giving money to the campaign,” Rausen said. ‘We’re providing an opportunity to educate the student body. If other political parties were to apply it would be the same thing... funding the equipment is less sup-

IVAN from page 2

porting a side than giving the students the opportunity to become informed.”

Many DSG legislators appeared conflicted about whether or not funding Duke for Kerry constituted a partisan decision. Senator David Cardenas, a sophomore, said he objected to funding the organization on the grounds that it constituted a “Kerry campaign expense card.”

Other student government members disagreed.

“We do have a right to fund political groups since we are an institution that promotes the proliferation of different types of ideas whether it be conservative, liberal or otherwise,” Wisnewski said.

DSG President Pasha Majdi said funding Duke for Kerry is a controversial issue because it is one that current legislators have little precedence to base their decisions on. “We had to split hairs. This isn’t an issue that comes up very often,” the senior said, noting that presidential elections only occur once every four years. “We wanted to support the student group as much as we would any other group... we took it to the maximum legally.”

Collins, a senior, said he understood why funding his organization became a controversial issue. “I think some ofit might have been because it is a political event... a political event is always necessarily polarizing,” Collins said.

“The argument made by Dave Rausen was a correct one, that we had every right to these funds.” may not be enough to protect the city.

“If we turn up dead tomorrow, it’s my fault,” said Jane Allinder, who stayed stubbornly behind at her daughter’s French Quarter doll shop to keep an eye on her cat.

Police began clearing people off the streets, enforcing a 2 p.m. curfew.

“I think it’s safe to say we will have flooding in this city,” said Mayor Ray Nagin. But he contradicted a statement from his emergency preparedness director that the city needed at least 10,000 body bags to handle possible drowning victims.

Thousands of tourists were believed stranded in New Orleans, along with 100,000 mostiy inner-city residents without cars. The mayor advised them to resort to “vertical evacuations,” suggesting they take shelter in buildings taller than two stories. If that is not possible, he said, they should go into an attic and take equipment with them that would let allow them to cut through the roof and get out. water

At 5 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Ivan was centered about 125 miles south of the Alabama coast and was moving north at 14 mph. The storm has now killed at least 70 people in all.

Of the roughly 2 million who fled the path of the storm, often in bumper-to-bumper caravans on highways turned into one-way evacuation routes, 1.2 million were from greater New Orleans, a city particularly vulnerable to hurricanes because it sits below sea level. In Louisiana, a cancer patient and an 80-year-old nursing homeresident died after they evacuated and were caught in hours-long traffic jams.

COOK-DEEGAN from page 3 however, that patents are “intensifying a drive for secrecy that already exists in the academic ethos.”

Universities in general need to be “making real decisions in real time,” he said, and patents will inevitably become a subject of debate in the academic sector. He cited the $4.8 million grant that Duke recendy received from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Center for Public Genomics, which Cook-Deegan leads, as a sign that Duke is on this track.

Cook-Deegan, director of the Center for Genomics Ethics, Law and Policy at the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy at Duke, also posited that by focusing on the Human Genome Project, the field neglected “a genome project that would have aimed at improving human health worldwide.”

With resources devoted primarily to mapping the human genome, there was less focus devoted to how genomics could close the massive gap between health conditions among the wealthy and poor populations of the world, he said.

He highlighted the fact that the U.S. government lags behind most other developed countries in genomics spending in relation to its gross domestic product; in fact, Estonia was the leading government spender in the year that the study he cited was completed.

“Economic development,” he said, “is just as big a part of the equation for long term improvement of health as the health goods and services.”

The audience of medical students, professors, undergraduates and Duke University Medical Center staff was receptive to Cook-Deegan’s message. Barbara Rothschild, a professor of social medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said it was exciting to hear him discuss “a cutting edge issue in genome science.”

Freshman Tara Mandalaywala, who was intrigued by Cook-Deegan when he spoke to her Genome Revolution FOCUS program, said, “It was very interesting to hear about intellectual property rights.”

The talk was part of the Humanities in Medicine Lecture Series supported by the Josiah Trent and Mary Biddle Foundations.

meant not only the end ofregularly providing hot kosher meals at Duke, but it also meant the end of the dining ex-

perience that the center provided.

“We loved it because everyone would come here, not just Jewish kids,” Gersd said. ‘There was really a community here—a diverse community.”

Senior Amanda Zimmerman, student executive vice president of FCJL, said she hopes to develop a proposal to improve kosher dining for students at Duke.

“We’re working on being able to allow students to order kosher meat from the same place that the Freeman Center does,” she said, noting that there are many challenges facing this proposal. “It would be really great if we could do it on food points, but the administration isn’t always that flexible.”

The closing of the kosher kitchen left many students disappointed and wondering how they were going to maintain such an important facet of their lifestyle.

“It’s really bad that students have to go to Pauly Dogs every day because that’s the only thing kosher on campus,” Zimmerman said.

Students also acknowledged that providing high quality kosher dining is not a problem unique to Duke.

“Providing kosher food is a problem at many universities,” said senior Rachael Solomon, student president of FCJL. “There is a clear lack of [kosher options] at Duke.”

Still, many on campus are excited about the menu for the High Holidays, which will boast chicken marbella, mango glazed chicken, gefilte fish and challah.

Dinner was served Wednesday, and lunch and dinner will be served Thursday and Friday for Rosh Hashanah. Dinner and a break-the-fast meal will be served for Yom Kippur Sept. 24 and 25. Thanks to a private donation, Yom Kippur Break the Fast will remain free, Gerstl said.

the West Bank and Gaza by 2005, and said the borders should be determined in negotiations.

President George W. Bush has since said it would be “unrealistic” to expect Israel to remove large Israeli population centers in the West Bank —a statement seen by Sharon as backing for his plan to keep large West Bank settlement blocs in any future deal with the Palestinians.

Sharon said he will abide by his disengagement plan, not the road map.

Asked by Yediot how disengagement differs from a proposal by a former Israeli opposition leader, Amram Mitzna, to withdraw from Gaza to break the stalemate with the Palestinians, Sharon said: “Mitzna suggested something different... to continue dismantling settlements based on the road map.

‘This would have brought Israel to a most difficult situation. I didn’tagree to this. Today, we are also not following the road map. I am not ready for this,” he said.

Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat said Sharon

confirmed Palestinian fears that the disengagement plan is a ploy to cement Israel’s control over large areas of the West Bank. U.S. and European Union officials have told the Palestinians that they would only back disengagement as part of the road map.

According to polls published Wednesday in Yediot and Maariv dailies, 58 percent of Israelis support Sharon’s disengagement plan, and about one-third oppose it. Both surveys had margins of error of 4.4 percentage points.

In the West Bank city of Nablus, troops surrounded a building where fugitives were holed up, and a gun battle erupted, Palestinian witnesses said. Five armed men from the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a violent group with ties to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, were killed in the fighting.

An 11-year-old girl living nearby was also shot dead, her family said. The girl’s uncle said the girl was shot toward the end of the fighting, after most of the soldiers had left and residents were emerging from their homes.

The Israeli brigade commander in the area, identified only as Col. Yuval, said his forces did not fire as they withdrew, even when coming under Palestinian fire, suggesting that the girl was not killed by his men.

The Chronicle's Arts and Entertainment Magazine

September 16, 2004, Vol. 7, No. 4

Retro Captain flies into theaters The long antcipated, f/x extravaganza Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow mim in theatres this weekend.

Matt Deaitom reviews the film.

Once

in a blue moon, the film industry is graced by a phenomenon: a fresh new filmmaker who creates a revolutionary and innovative way of making a movie. In Kerry Conran that filmmaker has arrived. Conran's development of an original cinematic style and a completely new superhero in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow transforms the film into something magnificent.

Conran developed a radical concept for shooting his movie while attending film school. This idea, shooting actors in front of blue screens and then digitally painting in the background, created an illu-

Like

sion of reality combined with animation. He knew that he had struck something big, but none of the major production companies were willing to commit to something that was so risky and expensive.

Instead, Conran took his idea and ran with it, originally creating a six-minute, black and white short-film featuring his unique hero, Sky Captain. The short's originality and promise attracted the attention of producer Jon Avnet (The Mighty Ducks ) who convinced Conran to expand his vision into a full-length feature. Jude Law and

wife Sadie Frost signed on as producers, and with their help the film attracted other big-time talents Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie. Six years later, after the film's completion, Paramount finally latched on as a distributor.

Conran created a plot that draws

from several common comic t> cliches: the good-looking hero Sky Captain (Law) fights the evil German, Dr. Totenkopf, played by the late Sir Lawrence Olivier. A bevy of wild robotic menaces attack Sky Captain's home, Gotham City, forcing the aviator to defend those he

Art therapy offers a healing touch

so many of the other cancer patients I have had the blessing and misfortune of meeting, sixdoesn't year-old Angela, her spend days learning how to ride a bike or to share crayons with her classmates.

Rather, her days are spent at Children's Hospital Los Angeles fighting the cancer invading her body. Her only break is the short time each day she spends in a Chase Place Playroom with a Child Life Therapist. "Doing art at Chase Place makes me feel good," she says. I've heard so many similar stories through my involvement with the Chase Foundation and CHLA that it's hard for me to deny

the connection between emotional health and physical recovery.

The dire need for more support for art healing became a personal issue for me when cancer took the life of my brother, Chase. During the last few weeks of his life my siblings and I were able to draw, play and be kids together thanks to the art-based Child Life program. It was during our experience that my family learned that only 25 percent of patients at CHLA were able to participate in these beneficial programs. After my bother passed away, my family created The Chase Foundation to provide the combination of therapy and art to help as many patients

and families as possible.

Art, theater and play have all been shown to uplift the attitude of a hospital patient.

In recent years the direct tie between a patient's attitude and his physical well-being has come to the forefront of medical circles.

Head of and Oncology Hematology for and Chair of Pediatric CHLA at the University of Oncology Southern California's Keck Medical School, Dr. Stuart E. Siegel, says, "Art therapy can help [sick] children deal with some of their anxieties in a way that allows them to better tolerate the ordeal of going through treatment... and may

Dear Playboy, Upon opening the October 2004 issue of Playboy, I was saddened to see that you did not use the photos from my recent photo shoot. After a cold day spent posing naked with the Blue Devil in the middle of Wally Wade, you could have at least had the courtesy to print a note for my efforts.

I bared all for you, I gave you my everything—l loved you, and you left me out!

I told you your readers would appreciate my natural "college" physique. Many a prisonpenpal.com reader has commented on my supple breasts and toned calves. What your photographer called "pasty," I call "milky"— yes, lam Mr. Vanilla Goodness!

Why didn't you take me? Was it my hairy chest? My saggy boobs? My protruding gut? Maybe you could have told me that I didn'tfit into your vision of GIRLS of the ACC before I tattooed the bunny on my butt.

All I ever wanted was to be one ofyour playmates. I tried for this petty, college issue thing. I had hoped for such great things—parades, late nights in the Grotto with Hef—I could have been one!

I know I sound mad, but I still love you, and if you have any opening in the "Girls" of the SEC, damnit, I'll transfer!

Days before his inauguration as Duke's ninth president, Richard Brodhead sat down with RECESS Senior Editor Hilary Lewis to talk about what he enjoys doing in the free time that he is now so often without.

Q. What was the last movie you saw?

A. The last new movie I saw was [the remake of] The Manchurian Candidate.

But then I watched again the original, which is so excellent.

Q. Did you think that the remake of The Manchurian Candidate was as good as the original?

A. The remake had some very fun things in it. I loved Meryl Streep's performance. I loved it. And there were interesting performances. I thought that Denzel Washington was interesting in it.The older movie is more intelligent and wittier at the same time, it seemed to me. I thought that the Iraq business in this one didn't work at alL.The funny thing about the new one is, considering that it's a movie of crackling suspense, it actually has a pretty long boring stretch in the middle. Which, if you look at the old one, the old one is just—every inch of it—the interest is just stretched out and buried in it in remarkable ways.

Q. Do you have a favorite movie?

A. Oh, probably not. On any given day...l mean, there's a day when Meet the Parents is the greatest movie you've ever seen. That doesn't mean that there's [not] another day when a very different movie might be at the top of your list. I say this because, of course. I'm dying to see Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman as the parents [in Meet the Packers].

Q. Do you remember the first album you ever bought?

A. Well, of course, you know I lived in a great age of music. I can tell you the first record I was ever given. It was early Elvis. It was like my eighth birthday.

"Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes..."

Q. You mentioned that you grew up in a great musical time.Do you remember what your favorite bands and musicians were when you were growing up?

A, Well, there were so many! At that time, every week, every month...l used to

listen to the radio in just huge amounts starting when I was about, oh, twelve, and through all the years when I was in college.That's because it was Just a great, great period in popular music, and so every week,there'd be some new thing. And so, of course, now one remembers all the famous ones. But there were so many great songs by people who had only one or two songs. And all of it, together, it made that such a great time.

Q. Were you involved in the arts at all in high school or college?

A. I would have-enjoyed to be. You know, I am a person who has discovered in later life many tastes that did not appear earlier....! didn't act when I was in high school or college, but I probably would have enjoyed it. I didn't play an instrument, which has always been a great, great regret of mine. But I know those are all things that I would have liked to have done.

Q. What did you enjoy the most about the arts when you were at Yale?

A. [pause] Well, I liked the notion that somebody who was just fun to sit with and talk to on one occasion would turn out to have a talent. I liked the continuity between the person you knew in daily life, and seeing somebody perform.

Q. What's something that you think people would be surprised to know about you?

A. I'll be damned if I'm gonna tell them.

Q. What do you think was the most important piece of advice you've ever received?

A. [Pause] You know, you're given a lot of advice in your life. And at least if you're like me, before you even hear it, you're pushing it away.,.. You know, I'll tell you a story, and it's true.The first day I taught...! was going to teach my first class, and a very, very famous old teacher taught, who I knew, taught in the same room the hour before me. And as he was coming out the door—he knew it was going to be my first class —so he pulled me aside, and he said something to me, and it's the greatest piece of advice I ever got, and that doesn't mean it's not comical. He said,' Don't be afraid to say something profound.' And I thought that was great advice. Of course, the question is,'What might that be?'

By Robert Winterode Rilo Kiley lead singer and former child actress Jenny Lewis is keenly adept at channeling personas. From the blue-collared, blue-hearted country diva who coos ever so sweetly on "I Never" to the rock goddess who Yeah-Yeah-Yeahs it up on "Love and War" to the folk songbird who throws lyrical barbs at the current prez on "It's A Hit" she explores them all with sincerity on her band's third album and major-label debut, More Adventurous.

Lewis' bellowing-sweet pipes also infuse each track with rough ’n 1 tumble tenderness, and with charm seeping from every lilted phrase, she's on her way to becoming the next it-girl.

In fact, this 10-fi power pop act fashions the purtiest ditties in all of indie rockdom, blending alt-country and blues into the mix, and composing some of the best songs to be heard this year.The album boasts musical arrangements featuring various combinations of harmonica, congas, synths, hand claps, bells and French horns. Through it all, Lewis' vocals and heartfelt lyrics allow the tracks to feature genuine emotion.

On the opener/'lt's A Hit," Lewis rails against the death penalty and George W., the latter by comparing him to a "smokin' gun-holdin' ape." On the follow-

ing song/'Does He Love You," in which she assumes the guises of two females competing in a love triangle, she sings in violent spirit, "Your husband will never leave you/ He will never leave you for me." As the track climaxes, the listener can hear the genuine pain in her voice.

On "The Absence of God," she offers the promise that "we could be daytime drunks if we wanted," but then she goes on to exonerate herself by saying, "I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it" and "I'm not my perspective or the lies I'll tell you every time." So, while the former child actor attempts to figure out where life went wrong in a melodic vignette, the result is simply incredibly brilliant.

Pont steal —or edit—this movie!

Current legislation before Congress seeks to prevent peop e from ripping flicks while allowing companies to filter out offensive content

By Sarah Brodeur

Do

you remember stuntman Manny Perry? Or how about set painter David Goldstein? If you recognize either of these names then you've probably seen—and later ridiculed—one of the "Movies—They're Worth It" commercials that have been running in theaters across the country since July 2003. The ads are part of the Motion Picture Association of America's campaign to promote awareness of movie piracy and its detrimental effects on Hollywood. The MPAA hopes to avoid a commercial downward spiral akin to the one that the record industry has been entwined in for the last few years.

The commercials, however, are only the first step in the MPAA's multi-front attack on Internet pirates. In August, the MPAA took a major hit when it lost the option to hold companies that operate peer-to-peer networks liable for copyright infringement. Since then, entertainment industry lobbyists have been working overtime to put legislation like the Piracy and Deterrence and Education Act into action.

Among other things, this bill would make exploits like using an audio-visual recording device in a movie theater (the most common way to rip a flick) a felony. During its 108th session, Congress has considered at least five separate bills intended to

expand the federal jurisdiction over copyright infringement and to intensify the punishment for copyright violations. Due to protests from everyone from the Consumer Electronics Association to the American Library Association, few broad initiatives to counter piracy have been enacted. On the other hand, 5,000 civil lawsuits have now been brought against individual P2P users by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Last week, the ongoing debacle reached a new climax:just as the House Judiciary Committee was about to pass the Piracy and Deterrence and Education Act it decided to attach a separate, anti-Hollywood bill onto the first, pro-Hollywood bill.The second bill is known as the Family Movie Act and has been a thorn in Hollywood's side since it was introduced in June.

The Family Movie Act is a simple bill that would make it legal for companies to produce and distribute technology that would enable parents and their children to watch "clean" versions of any film. Films are "cleaned" using filtering technology—which modifies but does not permanently edit a film —that includes both automatically muting obscene language and skipping over scenes of violent and sexual content.

Directors like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese have publicly denounced the use of this filtering technology, citing the infringement of their creative jurisdiction as filmmakers. Meanwhile, conservative watch-

dog and parental advocacy groups have trumpeted the technology for instilling parents with means of further protecting their children from potenitally objectionable materials.Thus the fusion of these two bills has thrown a wrench into Hollywood's anti-piracy progress.

For now the entertainment industry will have to revert to a wait-and-see approach. Digital pirates can breathe a sigh of relief—the hour at which they walk the plank has once again been postponed indefinitely.

Sonnets explores life issues after death

By Irie Turner

The poster advertising Sonnets for an Old Century, which premieres Thursday at Manbites Dog Theater

"You stand here and make your statement.

That's it." With these words, the semi-surrealistic play Sonnets for an Old Century begins.

Sonnets revolves around 16 recently-deceased characters who have been thrown into a temporary limbo between death and eternity. Each character, armed with playwright Jose Rivera's fluid prose, makes his or her statement by relating a defining, at times disturbing, experience. "The freedom to speak to the universe is exhilarating and terrifying..,," writes Rivera —who also wrote the upcoming Che Guevara biopic Motorcycle Diaries —in a letter to the cast The performance space in Manbites Dog Theater is transformed into this universe, with the entire area painted black and its floors sprinkled with paintings. The audience, too, becomes part of this universe Sitting upon chairs resting on raised platforms, the vitality of the audience is figuratively, as well as physically, separated from the spiritual limbo of the characters.

The cast is a mix of seasoned performers and theatrical newcomers. The actors were chosen not only for their talent, but also for their diversity and personal stories. "In all of their cases, there was something compelling or special about who they are that made them right for the piece," director Jeff Storer says. Among the 16 actors are former and current Duke students, a former biochemistry professor and a precocious

18-year-old non-profit worker with plans to attend acting school.

The cast's monologues and movements can be intoxicating. Polentzi Mahias saunters then races across the stage in a monologue about having sex despite the world's tragic and mundane events. Kendell Rileigh's quivering voice weaves through a story about struggles with sanity until her words are a tangled mass of utterances. Marc Harber poetically relates the simple pleasure of eating a mango on a sun-streWn beach before succumbing to three-piecesuited ambition.

The 16 monologues run the gamut of human emotion, gracefully addressing political and social issues while avoiding harangues. Sonnets focuses on verbally exploring the intricacies of these emotions rather than employing physical or plot-driven action. As a result, patience is useful for experiencing Rivera's prose.

"A play is not something that you read,"Storer says, "it's an event...it's a happening." Although Sonnets isn't necessarily eventful, it is a fascinating happening.

Sonnets for an Old Century runs from Sept. 16 to 19 and Sept. 22 to 26 and begins at B:lspm, except Sundays at 3:lspm. Prices are $l5 at the door on Fri/Sat/Sun, $l2 on Wed/Thurs;save $2 by purchasing tickets in advance online.

Tonight, half of all proceeds will benefit the Youth Leaders in Action program at El Centro Hispano. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.manbitesdogtheater.org.

loves. Polly Perkins (Paltrow), the stereotypical quick-witted female companion, remains by the superhero's side. As a reporter for the city's paper, Polly hopes to cover the unfolding events and rekindle the lost relationship between Sky Captain and herself.

Although the plot itself may seem com monplace, Conran's ingenuity is apparent in the creation of Sky Captain's character. Unlike most ofthe comic book characters of that day, Sky Captain has no dual identity. Peter Parker becomes Spiderman and Clark Kent becomes Superman, but Sky Captain and Captain Joe Sullivan are one and the same. Moreover, while Clark Kent and Peter Parker's human flaws disappear in their superhero alter-egos, Sky Captain remains a flawed character.

Whereas Conran's creation of a new superhero Is intriguing, the fact remains that the plot is not the crux of the film's genius.

The story follows classic comic conventions, which have strengths but also weaknesses.

Sky Captain succeeds when it showcases the technology employed in creating it. Conran has created a cinematic world in away unlike any that have come before him, singlehandedly fusing animation and reality.To debate Sky Captain's storyline would be to miss the point: the power of Sky Captain lies in Conran's cutting edge technology and peerless perspicacity. :

THERAPY from page 1 be critical to giving them the best chance for survival and cure." Here at Duke University Hospital, like other top medical facilities across the country, giving patients an outlet for expression does not get nearly as much attention as it deserves. I visited Duke Children's Hospital last year and found that there was only one part-time Child Life Therapist responsible for serving the entire patient population. Searching the Duke website I was unable to find resources regarding art therapy or other therapeutic expression. While impressive mental and emotional disorder units are some of Duke's strengths, insufficient attention is paid to the mental health of patients dealing with physical ailments.

In a time when funding for non-traditional treatments is hard to come by, community groups often step up to fill this void. Inspirational Theater, one such non-profit, uses comedy and theatrics to improve hospital experiences. Leah Long, director of this Durham-based group, agrees,"a positive outlook can boost quality of life." Inspirational Theater provides

services for children and for nursing homes. In the past year they have performed at over thirty local venues including Duke Children's Hospital.

With the increasing availability of technology, more modern art forms such as graphic design or interactive gaming are finding their place in the world of art healing. One nine-year old recovering from leukemia, Ben Duskin, developed a video game, incorporating his passions into his therapy. With the assistance of Eric Johnston of LucasArts and The Make A Wish Foundation, Ben gave other cancer patients a means of visualizing their battle with cancer. The game's website (www.makewish.org/ben) invites visitors to "play the role of a hero on a surfboard with high-tech weapons. You are the cure."

The game takes place inside the body on a field of cells. The goal: to collect shields that represent protections against common side effects of cancer treatment such as fever, hair-loss and nausea. In order to obtain shields the player has to destroy mutating cells. Ben's game is such a hit that it is now available

in nine different languages.

The work being done by Ben Duskin, Leah Long and the Chase Foundation can serve as a model to Duke and all hospitals. The ability to give a patient "a means of expression that may be more comfortable to them than verbal communication, gives [doctors] and caregivers away of better understanding their emotions," says Dr. Siegel. When Chase died and I was a little kid who already loved all things artistic, I was lucky enough to receive the best possible guidance I could have had. Now, I'm able to use writing this article as an artistic and meaningful but also therapeutic way of conveying information. Working with a Child Life Therapist and being able to utilize creative expression helped me and my family and hundreds of similar families at CHLA.The opportunity to play a disease fighting video game, see a theater production, or work with an art therapist will only contribute to the quality of life for those young people dealing with challenging medical situations.

MEN'S SOCCER

Duke extends shutout streak by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

The men’s soccer team (6-0) continued its undefeated season Wednesday night by topping the Campbell Camels 3-0 in a game that was closer than the score indicated. Goalkeeper Justin Trowbridge, a senior co-captain, notched four saves and lifted the team to a school record sixth straight shutout in a game marked by strong defensive play from both sides.

“I think the entire team is playing extremely well defensively,” Trowbridge said. “We came out a little lackadaisical in the first half, [but] CAMPBELL JL. Coach [John Rennie] got us DUKE 3 going a little bit at halftime and we came out in the second half and got the job done.”

Rennie’s team had many scoring opportunities throughout the game, but Duke could not get on the board until freshman Zachary Pope knocked in a rebound during the 77th minute. It was Pope’s first goal as a Blue Devil. Junior Danny Kramer started the play, beating several Campbell (0-3-1) defenders and crushing a shot that Camel goalkeeper Brandon Kirskey blocked directly onto Pope’s left foot.

“I saw Kramer running down the sideline and there was a lot ofopen space on the back post,” Pope said. “Kramer hit the shot across, it just deflected off the goalie and the whole goal was open, so I just put it in.”

Pope’s goal opened the floodgates— Duke scored twice more during the remaining 15 minutes. At the 79:30 mark junior Blake Camp fed a ball to Pope

Senior Chris Dapolito's 60.7 completion percentage is fifth highest in theACC. He will start Saturday against Virginia Tech.

Connecticut Huskies—the team which beat Duke last week—have Dan Orlovsky, an All-American quarterback who controls the team’s offense.

The Blue Devils, however, are still without that go-to quarterback as they prepare for their third game this Saturday against Virginia Tech.

When the team takes the field in Blacksburg, Va., there will either be a No. 7 or No. 9 jersey commanding the Duke offense, and both will see time as the offensive leader.

Against Navy, it was No. 7, sophomore Mike Schneider, who led the Blue Devils downfield to an early 3-0 lead that they later relinquished to the Midshipmen. Last Saturday the offense built a 20-6 lead under the command ofNo. 9, co-captain Chris Dapolito, but head coach Ted Roof pulled the senior for the final drive.

Roof previously noted that he

would not object to the “conventional” offensive strategy of using a single quarterback. To this point, however, one quarterback has not prevailed over the other. At Wednesday’s practice, Roof again stressed that playing field remains level.

“I have been real pleased with both of them,” Roof said. ‘They have both had a much better week of practice, and I’m excited about what they’ve done so far. I think [for] both of them, this is their best week of pracdce so far.”

Roof has been keeping track of his offensive duo’s practice performance, analyzing each player’s passing game. The Duke coach has kept a list of passes attempted, to whom they were thrown and whether the pass was complete.

Although Roof has been using both players in the same position, he noted that there are differences between and Dapolito’s Schneider’s individual strengths.

ACC officials are watching the Big Ten this season as more than casual fans.

Beginning this season, the Big Ten has implemented instant replay during college football games on a trial basis. ACC officials are deciding whether to follow its lead.

“It is a very novel idea,” ACC Associate Commissioner Jeff Elliott said. “We are definitely going to observe what happens with the Big Ten.” Major questions remain, however, about costs, fairness and interruptions to the game.

“I think we’ve got really good officiating in the ACC,” Duke head coach Ted Roof said. “I don’t want anything that’s going to make the game any longer.”

The Big Ten received permission from the NCAA last February to implement the replay system. The NFL began using its current instant replay format in 1999, but the Big Ten system differs significantly from the on-the-field review used in professional games.

The NFL’s instant replay format operates on a challenge basis in which a coach must request a review until the final two minutes of each half.

The Big Ten’s system, however, takes the decision out of the coach’s hands, as a “technical advisor” off the field calls for any replays. If the Big Ten booth official sees evidence of an incorrect call he halts the game and reviews the available video footage.

The technical advisor, with no limit to how many plays he can review or overturn, makes the decision to overturn a call and may only do so if there is indisputable video evidence. The on-field officials take no part in the review process.

“I think if you’re going to have a replay system, the one we have in place seems at this moment to make some sense,” said Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel, after the system was used once during his team’s game against Marshall last week. “I’m not for a full-blown, coach throw-in-th e-red-flag, sit-and-lookthrough-the-monitors type system, but so far, so good.”

Even with instant replay’s advantages, college football has hesitated to institute the system primarily because of high costs and questions about fairness.

By limiting reviews to the booth, the Big Ten is spending less on equipment than the NFL, which has spent millions on training officials and purchasing equipment.

Still, costs could escalate for some colleges, especially those schools that do not have televised games.

The Big Ten is forking out less money because 90 percent of its games are already on television. The conference provides video equipment for the few games that are not televised and has outfitted its stadiums with replay technology.

In comparison, only 69 percent ofACC SEE REPLAY ON PAGE 10

Owners

begin NHL lockout by

Ronald Blum

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The National Hockey NEW YORK League will lock out its players starting Thursday, threatening to keep the sport off the ice for the entire 2004-05 season and perhaps beyond in an effort by management to gain massive change in the sport’s economic structure.

After the long-expected decision was approved unanimously Wednesday by NHL owners, commissioner Gary Bettman repeatedly belittled the union’s bargaining position, talked about the possibility the confrontation could extend into the 2005-06 season and said the conflict has jeopardized the NHL’s participation in the 2006 Winter Olympics.

“If there’s enough time to play some games, we’ll do it,” he said of this season, “and if there’s not, we won’t.”

Bettman called it a “bleak day,” claimed teams had combined to lose more than 11.8 billion over 10 years and cited bankruptcy filings by teams in Buffalo, Los Angeles, Ottawa and Pittsburgh. He said management will not agree to a labor deal that doesn’t include a defined relationship between revenue and salaries.

“Until he gets off the salary-cap issue, there’s not a chance for us to get an agreement,” union head Bob Goodenow said in Toronto, adding that players “are not prepared to entertain a salary cap in any way, shape, measure or form.”

Far apart on both philosophy and finances, the side have not bargained since last Thursday and say they are entrenched for the long run, echoing words of baseball players and owners at the start of their disastrous 7 1/2-month labor war of 1994-95.

There is almost no chance the season will start as scheduled Oct. 13, and Bettman told teams to release their arenas for other events for the next 30 days.

Bettman said the season can’t extend past June, and the lockout threatens to wipe out the Stanley Cup final for the first time since 1919, when the series between Montreal and Seatde was stopped after five games due a Spanish influenza epidemic.

“The union is trying to win a fight, hoping that the owners will give up. That will turn out to be a terrible error in judgment,” Bettman said. “They are apparently convinced that come some point in the season, the owners’ resolve will waver, and I’m telling you that is wrong, wrong, wrong.”

NHL management claims teams combined to lose $273 million in 2002-03 and $224 million last season. Bettman said the union’s proposals would do little for owners, and he said the six offers rejected by the union would lower the average player salary from $l.B million to $1.3 million.

Goodenow said players had offered more than $lOO million in annual concessions,

‘The notion that we don’t have competitive balance is absurd,” said Vancouver center Trevor Linden, the union’s president.

Bettman made clear that declaring an impasse under U.S. labor law and imposing new work rules unilaterally was an option but said it had not yet been considered.

“I think it’s pretty fair to say that we're SEE LOCKOUT ON PAGE 12

Schneider, Duke’s premiere pocket passer, started against Navy two weeks ago. At UConn, he replaced Dapolito for the final drive of the game, in which he completed four out of seven passes.

conference games were televised in 2003, and only two of eight Duke games were on television.The ACC would therefore need to provide the video recording equipment for a larger number of games, meaning greater costs would be passed on to the member schools.

The other issue in the debate on instant replay is fairness. Football purists have argued that human error is a part of the game. But in an era when a bowl appearance can generate millions of dollars for a school and a conference, more

He has played more than Schneider this season, including almost the entire UConn game.

In preparation for Saturday’s ACC opener, both quarterbacks worked on the fundamentals. Schneider noted that his drills revolved around “time management”—practicing with a 25-

emphasis is being placed on accuracy.

During the 2003 season, the Big Ten

collected data from all 68 televised home games to test the potential for instant replay. The study found that 42 plays would have necessitated a replay, 23 of which would have been overturned. The league found that the mistakes had a significant effect on the outcome of eight games.

“We are going to do anything we can do to make sure we get the right call as long as it doesn’t detract from the game,” ACC Assistant Commissioner Mike Finn said.

Other naysayers say the system would be impossible to install in smaller confer-

second clock. The Blue Devils picked up one delay of game penalty when Schneider was in the game against Connecticut.

In addition to a game plan, Dapolito and Schneider also share the mentality of being ready to play at any time.

“You have to be prepared to play,” Schneider said. “If you don’tknow when you are going to go in, you have to prepare like you are going to be the number one guy.” ences. Under NCAA rules, only the Big Ten is allowed to use the system in 2004.

Interconference games played at Big Ten schools are also permitted to use replay if the visiting team consents.

Finn said the ACC’s decision will depend on a number of factors, but the NCAA must give the goOahead before the ACC could implement the system.

“We’re going to see the positives and the negatives of the system and then we will decide at the end of the year whether or not to try it,” Finn said. “Also much of it depends on what the NCAA decides to do, as this is a trial system at this point.”

LOCKOUT

an impasse right now, and my guess is that we’ve probably been at impasse for months, if not a year,” he said. “At some point when we’re at impasse, we could simply say, ‘We’re going to open and here are the terms and conditions. Let’s go.’

It’s that simple.”

Goodenow said attempting to impose terms would be a “very, very ill-advised strategy” and predicted “the results of it could be catastrophic.” Bettman said the use of replacement players is not under consideration.

Owners have contributed $3OO million to a league fund to help get them through a lockout, and the union has retained licensing money to help its members.

Bettman said about 20 teams would lose less money during a lockout than they would if play continued.

“It is a sad day for all of us,” Montreal owner George Gillett said.

The 30 teams—24 in the United States and six in Canada—had been set to start opening training camps Thursday, the day after the expiration of the current labor contract. The deal was first agreed to in 1995 and extended two years later through Sept. 15, 2004. Bettman termed the extension “a mistake, in hindsight.”

“It of kind stinks, packing up and moving out of here,” Philadelphia right wing Tony Amonte said at his team’s practice rink. “I can’t say they weren’t preparing us for it.”

Some players are expected to sign with European leagues, and others could join a six-team, four-on-four circuit called the Original Stars Hockey League, which is set to start play Friday in Barrie, Ontario.

Others could go to a revived World Hockey Association, which plans to open Oct. 29 with eight teams playing 76 games apiece.

Bettman said more than 100 employees from the NHL’s central staff of about 225 will be terminated, most on Sept. 20.

The stoppage is the first for a North American major league since the 1997-98 NBA lockout canceled 464 games, cutting each club’s regular-season schedule from 82 games to 50.

It is the third stoppage for the NHL following a 10-day strike in 1992 that caused the postponement of 30 games and a 103day lockout in 1994-95 that eliminated 468 games, cutting each team’s regular-season schedule from 84 games to 48. That lockout ended on Jan. 11, five days before the deadline set by Bettman to scuttle the season.

Baseball has had eight work stoppages, the last causing the cancellation of 921 regular-season games over two years and canceling the World Series for the first time since 1904. The NFL has had four strikes, including two during the regular season, but has enjoyed labor peace since 1987. at

SOOJIN PARK/THE CHRONICLE

Sophomore Josh Swank scored his sixth goal of the season in the 80th minute against Campbell. Duke netted three goals late after missing opportunities early.

SOCCER from page 9 down the right sideline, which he crossed to the waiting feet of sophomore Josh Swank. Swank blasted the ball into the net for his team-leading sixth goal of the season.

Nine minutes later, freshman Tomek Charowski recorded his team-best eighth assist when Kramer headed Charowski’s corner kick off of a Campbell defender and into the goal. It was Kramer’s second goal in as many games.

“They played a very defensive game, defend to the death and then counter once in a while,” Rennie said. “It’s usually the case that if you get one [goal] then you’ll get more chances because they’ll

press and go forward, which they did, and it opened up their defense.”

During his halftime talk with the team, Rennie appeared to get fired up after a sloppy first half in which Duke was called offside on multiple occasions and allowed the Camels many opportunities to score.

“The chances that [Campbell] got in the first half were a result of us making mistakes,” Rennie said. “We played some bad passes that ended up coming right back at us. We were not very sharp in the first half mentally or technically.”

The Blue Devils again outshot their opponents by a large margin, winning this shooting battle 22-7. Duke came very close to scoring on several occasions before finally getting on the board, including headers

by Camp and freshman Paul Dudley that both missed the goal by mere inches.

In the 85th minute, feisty freshman Spencer Wadsworth went down to the ground and was writhing in pain with what appeared at the time to be a serious injury. Wadsworth and Rennie both said after the game that it was only leg cramps and that the freshman will be ready to go for the Blue Devils’ next contest, the ACC opener against the Clemson Tigers.

The game against the Tigers will begin at 7 p.m. Sept. 18 at Koskinen Stadium.

Despite having an inexperienced team, Rennie thinks his team is ready to take on the rest of the conference.

“Sure, we’re as ready as we can be,” Rennie said. “As they say, bring it on.”

I’ve thought about the implications of the deeper issues that need to be discussed.

What

Ralph

I

met a mechanic once. Now, I’ve met quite a few mechanics in my lifetime, but this one will always stick with me, mostly because I was never really sure whether or not he really was a mechanic. See, this man lied to me about almost everything. His name was Ralph, and he was homeless.

I met him the summer before coming to college my freshman year. I was walking out of a Walgreens in downtown Palo Alto, and there he was sitting on a bench outside the store. I sat down on the bench and began to eat the candy bar I had just purchased. Ralph leaned over to me and asked, ever so politely, “You gonnafinish all that?”

I looked over in mild surprise. “I guess not,” I replied, as I handed him the bar. “Take as much as you want.” He proceeded to eat the entire bar while telling me some of the most ridiculous stories I have ever heard.

“I was in ‘Nam, you see. I flew planes; you know, the kind of planes that kill people. I would attach a kite to the end of my plane whenever I flew, just to show them Vietnamese that we Americans still knew how to have fun even in a time of war. None of that serious killing and crying stuff. That’s not for Americans, man.”

Intrigued, I listened to Ralph talk for two hours.

We talked about many subjects, ranging matt dearborn from testosterone poisoning he re- for good or for awesome ceived as a child that gave him the ability to grow a beard (“I was the coolest kid in second grade.... [l] had a thick beard like Lincoln.”) to his three-story cat that he owned before it ran away and terrorized a small midwestern village (I kid you not: “Her name was Bulldozer. She was a he, mind you, but I like addressing my pets as though they’re female...”) to his wild inventions of robots and lasers (“I’m gonna take over the world one day, man.”)

Finally, I had to tell Ralph that I had to go; I was late for a doctor’s appointment.

I met up with Ralph every weekend that summer, sitting down and chatting with him for hours.

One day he introduced his “wife,” a short redhaired woman who was missing the vast majority of her teeth. She looked at me and smiled. “I have a court date tomorrow,” she said with pride. “Got caught peeing on a cop car... I was bored of toilets, so I thought I’d try something new.” I figured that she, too, was lying, but in fact she produced her paperwork. I never saw her again.

The next week, Ralph told me about his threeroom apartment and his beautiful girlfriend. He asked me if I wanted to see a picture of her. Before I could respond, he pulled out a folded-up, ripped-out magazine page of a Gap model. “Isn’t she gorgeous?” he asked me, prodding my side with his elbow. Not knowing what to say, I just nodded awkwardly and changed the subject. That was the day before I headed off to college. At the end of our conversation, he looked at me in the eyes and, in complete honesty, said “It’s funny, how I have to lie to myself and you about my life. I guess it’s just because I get ignored so often. It’s the only way to keep myself happy.”

Coming to Duke, I never realized the blaring reality of his statement until recently. Ralph lived a life where people ignored him all the time.

There are people integral to Duke’s campus running smoothly, namely the bus drivers, housekeepers and food servers, who are treated the same way. They’re the people that clean up after a wild night of partying, take us to classes and give us our dinner. Yes, it’s true, these people aren’t homeless, but how often do we stop and talk to them, let alone thank them for making Duke what it is for us? Almost never.

And I will guarantee you this: if we were to take a precious few seconds out of our day to thank them for what they do, I bet that our campus would be a much happier place.

But that’s your choice.
