continue to affect North Carolina residents, according to the most recent state Budget and Tax Center report. The BTC report found thatjob growth in the state is proceeding at too slow a pace to accommodate the state’s rapid-

ly expanding population, particularly that of unskilled workers. Despite a recent flurry of pos-

itive reports on North Carolina’s economic recovery, job creation numbers in the state have dropped to 2,900 new jobs in August, a significant downturn from the 10,700 new jobs in July. Although the unemployment rate dropped from 5.4 percent in July to 4.9 percent in August, experts say the rate was largely influenced by a reduction of 35,000 people in the state’s labor force. Recent releases from the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina suggest that the unemployment statistics could be LAURA BETH DOUGLAS/THE CHRONICLE

Stolberg THE CHRONICLE

In his first state of the University address Tuesday night, President Richard Brodhead told a joint meeting of Duke Student Government and the Graduate and Professional Student Council that he wants to know it all. “I aspire someday to know the answer to every question you could ask me,” he said. As of right now, however, Brodhead acknowledged he is still getting his bearings within a new campus and in a new community. Rather than outlying his goals for the University in the traditional format for such an address, he referred those concerned with a larger agenda to his inaugural address Saturday and spent close to an hour fielding questions from Duke’s student leaders. Brodhead expressed enthusiasm for his interaction with students in the first month of his sidency and mentioned his jekly office hours as one of the avenues for connecting on campus issues. “I don’t like presidents who have abstract views of what is good for a place,” he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS President George W. Bush, defending his decision to invade Iraq, urged a vast assembly of world leaders Tuesday to stand united with the country’s struggling government and said the proper response to spreading violence “is not to retreat, it is to prevail.” The country’s prime minister, Ayad Allawi, offered an upbeat assessment after Bush’s speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations, saying, “We are winning, we are making progress in Iraq, we are defeating terrorists,” even as insurgents claimed they had killed a second American hostage in two days. Of the brutal slayings, Bush said, “We will not allow these thugs and terrorists to decide your fate and to decide our fate.” Yet in a sign of continuing world unease with the situation, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan—who last week called the war in Iraq illegal because it lacked Security Council approval —warned that the “rule of law” is at risk around the world. “No one is above the law,” Annan said Tuesday. He condemned the taking and killing of hostages in Iraq, but he also said Iraqi prisoners had been disgracefully abused, referring to the U.S. treatment of several detainees at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. Often at odds with the United Nations on Iraq, Bush stood before a hushed General Assembly at the opening session of the

Students campaign for bike-friendly campus Sophia Peters THE CHRONICLE

Equipped with well-used wrenches, greasy polishing cloths and an army of revamped bicycles, a group ofDuke students is riding the administration for a change in the University’s cycling infrastructure. Duke Bike Advocates organized a three-day event that started Monday and will end today, International Car-Free Day, to promote awareness of commuter cyclists on campus and encouraging the administration to improve physical support for Duke’s cyclists. The consciousness-raising event consisted of a free bicycle repair clinic Monday and Tuesday on the Chapel Quadrangle and today’s two-and-a-halfmile ride, “Pedaling for a Safe Community,” which will begin at East Campus at noon, snake through Durham and end at West Campus. The ride will culminate with the group’s presentation to the administration of six recommendations aiming to make the University more conducive to cyclists. Several factors fueled the event’s organizers: They wanted to provide students with an alternative to driving, ameliorate the environmental consequences of automobile use and keep the Duke community in good health. “Biking is an efficient and healthy mode of transportation that reduces carbon dioxide emissions,” said co-organizer Miguel Schwartz, a fourth-year graduate student in ecology. “Improving the infrastructure of biking on campus will encourage more people to bicycle.” Environmental Sustainability Coordinator Sam Hummel, Trinity ’O3, recognized another driving force. “Parking and transportation infrastructure at Duke is expensive, and if we can put in a climate where people feel safe and encouraged to ride bicycles... that alleviates traffic and makes Duke’s climate a lot better,” he said. Students and staff alike lined up Monday and Tuesday at the repair clinic to wait for an array of services ranging from gear tweaking to body cleaning to wheel inflation to total bicycle reconstruction. The Duke Bike Advocates repaired around 100 bicycles over the course of two days, organizers said.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Members of the Duke community lend a hand to help fix bicycles as part of a three-day campaign to make the University more conducive to campus cyclists.

Junior Alex Bates, who does not have a car at Duke, was one of the many undergraduates whose bicycle was fine-tuned by the students-turned-mechanics Tuesday afternoon. “Theyreally know a lot here,” he said. “I didn’t know there was such a big bicycle movement at Duke.” The need for more initiatives to support cycling, such as paths and protected storage for bicycles, is widely recognized among the Duke’s cyclist community. Chris Lupoli, a first-year graduate student in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, commutes both on and off campus on his bicycle and said there is room for improvement in Duke’s cycling infrastructure. ‘There are no bike paths so whenever

I’m biking, I’m going through crowds of people or I’m walking my bike up and down stairs,” Lupoli said. “There is no designated place for bikes on-campus.” Justin Gilreath, a second-year student in the Divinity School, recognized a slight need for bicycle trail improvement but did not feel that it was a pressing issue. “I don’t think that the roads around campus are conducive to cars,” he said. “I also don’t think the bicycle trails are the best, but it’s less roundabout to use a bicycle.” The affair was funded by the Green Grant, a $50,000 grant for student, staff and faculty-initiated projects with environmental payback. It was also sponsored by the Duke University Greening Initiative, the Environmental Alliance, the Duke Outing Club, the Cycling Club and Bioßikes.

focus on politics by

Skyward Darby THE CHRONICLE

Election fever is in the air. From candidates’ commercials and upto-the-minute news flashes to profiles of election issues and “Donate Now” messages on political parties’ websites, information about the 2004 presidential election is everywhere. In an attempt to infect Duke students with this political fever, several Duke professors have incorporated the spirit and substance of the campaign season into their classes and campus-wide events. Peter Feaver, professor of political science, has structured his American foreign policy seminar around the current presidential candidates’ foreign policy platforms. Feaver said the importance of world events in this year’s election presents a unique opportunity for his students to analyze the role foreign policy can play in political campaigns. “Foreign policy wasn’t nearly as central to the campaign [in 2000] as it is now,” Feaver said. “It was a manageable load of information. Now it’s a fire hose.” For the first halfof the semester, Feaver has divided his class into two teams—one to support President George W. Bush, the other to support his challenger, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. The groups are responsible for examining the candidates’ foreign policy platforms on both political and substantive levels, he said. The students are currently gearing up for their midterm exam, which will take the form of a public debate open to the entire school Oct. 6. After Election Day, Feaver said his stuSEE CLASSES ON PAGE 10

Career fa ir returns, focusing on nternsh ■ps Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

Tables for visiting companies will line the cement walls of the Bryan Center today, and anxious seniors will don pinstripe suits and blue dress shirts to put their best faces forward as part of the annual Career Fair. The number of companies recruiting students on campus has rebounded to 83 after severalyears of decreasing attendance, and many companies are seeking Duke students for the increased number of positions they have to fill, said Sheila Curran, executive director of the Career Center. “It’s definitely easier to get a job this year,” she said But many of the companies will be searching for previous work experience in everything from investment banking to education to computer programming. Major investment firms are increasingly hiring students from their internship programs rather than from recruiting sessions like the Career Fair. Last year, for example, Goldman Sachs & Co. filled many of its entry-level positions with graduates who had already interned over the summer. Several recruiters from the company declined to comment in accordance with company policy.

Senior Eliza Howard, who had a banking internship already accepted a full-time position there. She sees the emphasis on internships as a positive move. “It definitely gets the students that are the most interested and most motivated,” she said. The phenomenon of direct hiring has been growing in all fields over the last five years, and the importance of experience is making internships a crucial part of job placement, Curran said. In response, the Career Center has been working to develop stronger internship placement programs, and it is drawing upon the University’s decentralized character to do it. This year, second-semester freshmen will have the chance to intern within a division of Duke in order to gain job skills and explore career options in human resources, advising, journalism and more. “Just about any place that exists in a small city exists at Duke also,” Curran said. “I see it as an opportunity to explore things they’ve never thought ofbefore.” Focusing on the job search early in students’ college caat Goldman Sachs last summer, has

reers could cut into academic exploration, but professors in both science and humanities departments were unfazed, and even encouraged, by the emphasis on internships. Sarah Deutsch, chair of the Department of History, said she encouraged career experimentation through

internships. “Liberal arts education does prepare you well for Just about anything,” she said. ‘You have to make the case, but the ability to find things out is certainly a prized skill.” She also noted that the number of students pursuing independent research projects in history has risen recently despite more students seeking out internships. In the natural sciences, where even industry jobs often involve independent research, the need for internships may help stimulate undergraduate research. “In general, we feel like getting real-world experience in the sciences is a great opportunity for students,” said Philip Benfey, chair of the Department of Biology. For seniors, however, coveted employment may prematurely dampen their enthusiasm for academics. “Since I got my job offer,” Howard said, “I definitely have not been working as hard in school.”

Iran’s Khatami defies demand Jahn

VIENNA, Austria Defying a key demand set by 35 nations, Iran announced Tuesday it has started converting raw uranium into the gas needed for enrichment, a process that can be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran’s president, Mohammad Khatami, vowed his country will press ahead with its nuclear program even if it means a rupture with the U.N. watchdog agency and an end to inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities. “We’ve made our choice: Yes to peaceful nuclear technology, no to atomic weapons,” Khatami said at a military parade in Tehran. “We will continue along our path even if it leads to an end to international supervision,” he added. In Vienna, Iranian Vice President Reza Aghazadeh said tests are “going on successfully” to make uranium hexafluoride gas, the material that, in the next stage, is fed into centrifuges for enrichment. Of the more than 40 tons of raw uranium being mined for conversion, “Some... has been used,” he told reporters. His comments, outside the general conference of the 137-nation InternationalAtomic Energy Agency, were the latest sign that Iran was ignoring demands made on the weekend by the agency’s board of governors to suspend all enrichment and related activities and banish international fears the technology could be used to make weapons. Iran, which insists it needs enrichment to generate power, announced months ago that it had planned to “test” conversion techniques. Even before Tuesday’s announcement, the large scale of the project had heightened concerns that Iran is preparing for full uranium conversion at its Isfahan facility that goes beyond laboratory testing. Khatami said Iran won’t seek nuclear weapons, regardless of lAEA supervision. “I declare to the world that whether we are under supervision or not, we won’t go for nuclear weapons at all,” he said at a ceremony marking the anniversary of Iran’s 1980-88 war with Iraq. The parade included an example of Iran’s ballistic missile, the Shahab-3, which has the capacity to carry nuclear warheads. “We won’t go for nuclear weapons not because we fear others, but because of our beliefs and principles, because we oppose nuclear weapons and consider them a threat to humanity,” he said. A resolution passed unanimously Saturday by the agency’s governing board demanded for the first time that Iran freeze all work on uranium enrichment and expressed alarm at Iranian planned conversion of the raw uranium. Suggesting that Iran may have to answer to the U.N. Security Council if it defied the demands, the resolution said the next board meeting in November would “decide whether or not further steps are appropriate” in ensuring Iran complies. The resolution specifically expressed alarm at Iranian plans to convert the more than 40 tons of raw uranium SEE IRAN ON PAGE 10

Militants claim second American hostage killed by

Alexandra Zavis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq An al Qaeda-linked group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed Tuesday to have killed the second of two American hostages—back-to-back slayings that have notched up the Jordanian militant’sruthless campaign. The claim, posted on an an Islamic Web site, could not immediately be verified. Al-Zarqawi’s group, Tawhid and Jihad,

kidnapped two

Americans—Jack

Hensley

and Eugene Armstrong—and Briton Kenneth Bigley Thursday from a home that the three civil engineers shared in an upscale Baghdad neighborhood. Al-Zarqawi beheaded Armstrong, and the militants Monday posted a gruesome video of the 52-year-old’s death.

The new posting followed the passing of the militants’ 24-hour deadline for the release of all Iraqi women from prison, and after anguished relatives in the United States and Britain begged for the lives of Bigley, 62, and Hensley, who would have marked his 49th birthday Wednesday. “We do not have confirmation as of now that the body that has been found is Jack Hensley. We are still hopeful at this time that Jack Hensley is still with us,” Hensley’s wife, Pad, said in a prepared statement read by family spokesperson Jack Haley outside the family’s home in Marietta, Ga. ‘The nation’s zealous sons slaughtered the second American hostage after the end of the deadline,” the first statement said. It was signed with the pseudonym Abu

Maysara al-Iraqi, the name usually used on statements from al-Zarqawi’s group. Claims on this Web site have proven to be in the past. The brief statement did not give the name of the hostage killed. Several hours passed Tuesday after the initial announcement with the promised video proof failing to appear. Monday, by contrast, the video of Armstrong’s killing was posted within an hour of the initial statement claiming he was dead. Tawhid and Jihad—Arabic for “Monotheism and Holy War”—has claimed responsibility for killing at least seven hostages, including another American, Nicholas Berg, who was abducted in April. The group has also said it is behind a number of bombings and gun attacks. accurate

A host of militant groups have used kidnappings and bombings as their signature weapons in a blood-soaked campaign to undermine interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi’s government and force the United States and its allies out of Iraq. The violence has already persuaded companies to leave Iraq, hindered foreign investment, led firms to drop out of aid projects, restricted activities to relatively safe areas and forced major expenditures on security. The violence continued unabated. A car bomb wounded four U.S. soldiers on the road to Baghdad’s airport Tuesday and two Marines were reported killed in earlier attacks west of the capital, underscoring the inability ofAmerican forces to SEE MILITANTS ON PAGE 9

Medicare to distribute new drug discount cards by

Mark Sherman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Nearly two million poor people will soon receive Medicare drug discount cards in the mail, a new step by President George W. Bush’s administration to boost enrollment in the program. The administration has been battered by election-year criticism of the Medicare prescription drug law and the temporary discount card program that will be replaced by drug insurance under Medicare in 2006. Only 1.3 million poor people, out of more than seven million who are eligible, have so far signed up for a discount card and the $6OO subsidy that accompanies it. Total enrolltnent is 4.4 million people. The administration has resisted broad automatic enrollment of low-income Medicare beneficiaries, saying it lacked authority to choose a card for people.

Tropical Storm Jeannecaused waterlines to rise across the Haiti, destroying homesand killing hundreds.

Jeanne’s flood waters claim 691 lives in Haiti by Amy Bracken THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GONATVES, Haiti

Blood swirled in

knee-deep floodwaters as workers stacked bodies outside the hospital morgue Tuesday. Carcasses of pigs, goats and dogs and pieces of smashed furniture floated in muddy streams that once were the streets of this battered city. Desperate people swarmed a truck delivering water. The death toll across Haiti from the weekend deluges brought by Tropical Storm Jeanne rose to 691, with 600 of them in Gonaives, and officials said they expected to find more dead and estimated tens of thousands of people were homeless. Waterlines up to 10 feet high on Gonaives’ buildings marked the worst of the storm that sent water gushing down denuded hills, destroying homes and crops in the Artibonite region that is Haiti’s breadbasket. Floodwaters receded, but half of Haiti’s third-largest city was still swamped with contaminated water up to two feet deep four days after Jeanne passed. The homeless sloshed through the streets carrying belongings on their heads, while people with houses that still had roofs tried to dry scavenged clothes. “We’re going to start burying people in mass graves,” said Toussaint KongoDoudou, a spokesperson for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti. Flies buzzed around bloated corpses piled high at the city’s three morgues, where the electricity was off as temperatures reached into the 90s. Only about 30 of the 250 bodies at the morgue of the flood-damaged General Hospital hade been identi-

fied, said Dr. Daniel Rubens of the InternationalRed Cross. “I lost my kids and there’s nothing I can do,” said Jean Estimable, whose two-year-old daughter was killed and another of his five children was missing and presumed dead. Dieufort Deslorges, spokesperson for the civil protection agency, said he expected the death toll to rise as reports came in from outlying villages and estimated a quarter million Haitians had been made homeless. More than 1,000 people were missing, said Raoul Elysee, head of the Haitian Red Cross, which was trying desperately to find doctors to help. The international - aid group CARE said 85 of its 200 workers in Gonaives were unaccounted for. “It’s really catastrophic. We’re still discovering bodies,” said Francoise Gruloos of the U.N. Children’s Fund. The aid group Food for the Poor said the main road north from Gonaives was made impassable by the storm—it was unclear whether from mudslides or debris—and there were fears that hundreds of possible flood victims may be out ofreach. Brazilian and Jordanian troops in the U.N. peacekeeping mission sent to stabilize Haiti after rebels ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in February struggled to help the needy as aid workers ferried supplies of water and food to victims. CARE spokesperson Rick Perera said the agency had about 660 tons of dry food in Gonaives, including corn-soy blend, dried lentils and cooking oil and was trying to set up distribution points.

BUSH

BRODHEAD from page 1 session, Brodhead addressed concerns over a litany of issues: graduate student unionization, campus safety, town-gown relationships, selective living and the quad model, frmdraising, the Women’s Initiative, a graduate student center, academic departments and the status of international students. Brodhead deftly maneuvered between questions, producing laughter to even the most divisive inquiries regarding graduate and professional students’ stipends and unionization. Joking with a graduate student concerned about reductions from stipends, he asked, “Did you ever have a job? Because sometimes the same thing happens.” Brodhead then proceeded to sympathize and explain the complexity of the graduate funding situation. But Brodhead’s larger fiscal concern regards Duke’s financial aid program, which he said in his inauguration speech “will be a project especially close to my heart.” Tuesday, he told DSG and GPSC about his plans to separate the financial aid budget from the larger University budget so as not to jeopardize any other fiscal distribution. And despite the recent close of the Campaign for Duke, Brodhead promised that fundraising will continue. ‘The modem university is a place of aspiration,” he said. “Every new thing comes from new funding.” With such a large undertaking already on his mind, Brodhead highlighted one area he hopes to eliminate from his agenda by acting on it as a top priority now. “I’m going to aspire to a day when I don’t have to list security as one of them,” said Brodhead, who sees the University’s campus safety problems as equivalent to those of any city university. But “Duke is paradoxical,” he said, because Duke’s campus is offset from more typically urban parts of Durham. Brodhead mentioned that both the areas of policing and communication need to be in focus within the security realm. The relationship between Duke and Durham piqued Brodhead’s interest, as he noted community service projects such as the downtown revitalization that the University has already undertaken, and proposed that Duke continue to work with the city to improve planning and continuity. Brodhead mentioned his experience with town-gown relations as a Yale University

John Kerry, D-Mass., Bush’s rival for the presidency, told a news conference in Jacksonville, Fla., that the president “failed to level with world leaders” about Iraq in his General Assembly address. “He does not have the credibility to lead the world.” Many world leaders hesitated to comment on Bush’s speech. South African President Thabo Mbeki said, “I’m still reading it.” Many European leaders skipped the meeting entirely, sending their foreign ministers instead. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero —who came to power by criticizing his predecessor’s unpopular support for the Iraq war said he agreed with Bush on defending liberty and democracy, but disagreed on other matters. Iraq has been Bush’s dominant theme at the United Nations since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, but he softened his speech this year to discuss the “great issues of our time,” like fighting AIDS, human slavery, poverty, the violence in Sudan, corruption and banning human cloning. But Bush was unapologetic about his decision to invade Iraq, and he linked the chaos and violence there to the more politically popular war on terrorism, saying terrorists believe “suicide and murder are justified.... And they act on their beliefs.” He cited recent terror acts, including the deaths of children earlier this month in a Russian school. Bush beseeched U.N. members to help rebuild Iraq, saying, “The U.N. and its member nations must respond to Prime Minister Allawi’s request and do more to help build an Iraq that is secure, democratic, federal and free.” The president said an al Qaedalinked terrorist group “is now one of the main groups killing the innocent in Iraq today, conducting a campaign of bombings against civilians and the beheadings of bound men.” —

President Richard Brodheadaddresses student leaders'concerns at the joint DSG-GPSC meeting. administrator, where he said he realized that “for people to fight on a sinking ship does no one any good.” When asked about selective living groups and the quad model, Brodhead allayed fears that living groups might be on a sinking ship as well. He described himself as “somewhat ambivalent” concerning the role offraternities on campus, but said of selectives, “I will never be an opponent of these things in a simple-minded or

knee-jerk manner.” Brodhead said that while he does not find fraternities to be “an adequate model for the social life of a university,” he also could not imagine presiding over a school without selectives. Brodhead explained his conflicting sentiments over the merits of fraternities, reflecting on their ability to result in both “homogenization of small groups of people” and their ability to fulfill the “human desire” for a smaller group within a larger one. Throughout the night, he ffequendy re-

ferred back to his years spent as a graduate student, professor and administrator at Yale, where he shaped his understanding of many of last night’s concerns and those to come. But he also noted his outsider’s perspective on issues like the continuing Women’s Initiative and his continuing immersion in the Duke community. ‘The day may come that I will be more diplomatic with my answers,” Brodhead said after his remarks, “but I’d rather answer honestly and take my chances with that.” Junior Russ Ferguson, DSG president pro tempore, supported Brodhead’s candor. “I thought it was spectacular. I thought his answers were exactly on target. He answered honestly. He didn’t tell us what we wanted to hear, he told us what we need to hear,” Ferguson said. “I get the feeling that he’s kind of formulating his own agenda right now by talking to u5.... To formulate an agenda as he walks around Duke is a much better way of doing things.” Jennifer Yang contributed to this story.

control key parts of Iraq 17 months after starting operations here. Early Wednesday, U.S. aircraft and tanks attacked rebel positions as fierce fighting erupted in Baghdad’s Sadr City slum, a stronghold of fighters loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. The fighting, which included strikes by U.S warplanes and Apache gunships, came as U.S. and Iraqi troops searched the zone for rebel weapons. One helicopter was hit by ground fire but managed to return to its base, and one tank was disabled by a roadside bomb. There were no immediate reports of any injuries to U.S. forces. President George W. Bush defended his decision to invade Iraq, telling a subdued U.N. General Assembly session Tuesday that the war launched without U.N. approval delivered the Iraqi people from “an outlawed dictator.” On the sidelines of the meetings, Bush told Allawi, “We will not allow these thugs and terrorists to decide your fate and to decide our fate.” Allawi said: ‘The barbaric action of yesterday is really unbelievable.” Al-Zarqawi, standing alongside four other masked militants clad in black, personally cut off Armstrong’s head, the CIA confirmed after analyzing his voice Monday’s footage. Armstrong’s body was discovered only blocks from where he lived, officials and witnesses said. Rick Camber, Armstrong’s cousin, told NBC’s “Today Show” that the family doesn’t want revenge. “Our family feels a great deal of grief,” he said. “We hope the criminals are brought to justice, but we certainly don’t want people to overreact and do something foolish.” In a video posted Saturday, Tawhid and Jihad had threatened to kill the three men unless Iraqi women were released from two U.S.-controlled prisons, Abu Ghraib and Umm Qasr. Abu Ghraib is the prison where American soldiers were photographed sexually humiliating male prisoners, raising fears about the safety of women detainees. In Monday’s video, al-Zarqawi announced that Tawhid and Jihad was taking revenge for female Iraqi prisoners and called Bush “a dog.” The U.S. military says women are not held at either facility but has acknowledged it is holding two female “security prisoners” elsewhere. They are Dr. Rihab Rashid Taha, a scientist who became known as “Dr. Germ” for helping Iraq make weapons out of anthrax, and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, a biotech researcher known as “Mrs. Anthrax.” Sheik Abdul-Sattar Abdul-Jabbar, a member of the Association of Muslim Scholars, conservative Iraqi clerics who oppose the U.S. presence in Iraq but have interceded in the past to win the release of foreign hostages, questioned the claim of only two female prisoners in U.S. and British custody. Abdul-Jabbar told Al-Jazeera pan-Arab satellite television there were “tens, perhaps hundreds of Iraqi women prisoners in the occupation’s jail that were supposed to be released before this tragedy.” In London, Bigley’s son urged British Prime Minister Tony Blair to meet the captors’ demands. “I ask Tony Blair personally to consider the amount of bloodshed already suffered,” Craig Bigley said in a videotaped statement. “Please meet the demands and release my father-two women for two men.... Only you can save him now.” Blair called the family Tuesday afternoon, but a British Foreign Office spokesperson said the government would not give in to the kidnappers. Foreign Office official Dean McLoughlin later went on Arab television station Al-Arabiya to say “not even one” female prisoner was under Britain’s control. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan condemned the taking and killing of hostages in Iraq. But he also said Iraqi prisoners had been disgracefully abused, an implicit criticism of the U.S. treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib. “No one is above the law,” Annan said. “Again and again, we see fundamental laws shamelessly disregardedthose that ordain respect for innocent life, for civilians, for the vulnerable—especially children.” More than 130 foreigners have been kidnapped in Iraq, and at least 26 of them have been killed. Many more Iraqis have also been seized in the chaos since Saddam Hussein was ousted last year, in many cases for ransom. The Turkish VINSAN construction company announced Tuesday it was bowing to the demands of militants and halting operations in Iraq in a bid to save the lives of 10 kidnapped Turkish employees.

Police said aid vehicles were being waylaid by mobs on the outskirts of Gonaives. One truck that made it to City Hall in the town center was swarmed by people who began throwing its load of bagged water into the crowd, setting off a melee. The driver finally sped off, bouncing people off the truck. Addressing the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday, Haiti’s interim president, Boniface Alexandre, pleaded for help. In the face of this tragedy... I appeal urgently for the solidarity of the international community so it may once again support the government in the framework of emergency assistance,” he said. Several nations were sending aid including $l.B million from the European Union and $1 million and rescue supplies from Venezuela.

MARKET from page 1 With the help of American missionaries, Mafih began to help local workers from 10 families export hand-woven rugs, first to Asian countries, then to England and finally to the United States. Fifty years later, Mafih’s project has spread from his home village to neighboring villages in the Punjab and the North-West Frontier provinces of northern Pakistan and includes about 700 families. These crafts have now made their way not to the Streets ofSouthpoint, but rather to the streets of Durham. One World Market, a quaint, well-lit shop on Ninth Street, is selling the multi-colored, multi-sized Oriental mgs through Saturday. Every purchase advances the principles offair trade. Each mg, no matter how large or delicate, is made by adults who are paid a living-wage for their work in Pakistan. The local boycott against the Mt. Olive Pickle Company may have recently ended, but the movement against unfair labor practices progresses at One World Market. “In a lot of areas in the world, many small children are employed for practically nothing, working in hard conditions to make Oriental rugs because they have little fingers,” store manager Debbie Durham said. “In order to offset this tragic development, we partnered with Jakciss Oriental Rugs and Ten Thousand Villages, an artisan group and a retailer, to offer rugs from Pakistan, made by adults, to ensure that there is no child abuse in the production of these rugs.” The rugs —in Persian, Tribal and Bokhara designs—are made in the artisans’ homes. Some rugs are small enough to use as doormats and others are large enough to decorate a dining room. The larger rugs can take an artisan, working six hours a day, over a year to make.

JOBS from page 1 misleading. The ESC indicated that measuring economic success in comparison to pre-2001 recession conditions is inadequate. In a recent economic brief on unemployment, Elizabeth Jordan, policy analyst for BTC, said “the mere presence of job growth is simply not enough.” She noted that thousands of workers have dropped out of the labor force due to frustration with the job market. A spokesperson for the ESC Office of Public Information also noted that the decreasing labor force pool resulting from disgruntled and hopeless workers who abandon their job searches is a key to understanding the economic situation in North Carolina. In addition, the fluctuating labor force and largely random job loss across various industries further suggests that disillusionment with the job market has played a vital role in the recent drop in the unemployment rate, the OPI spokesperson said.

IRAN from page 5 into uranium hexafluoride In his comment Tuesday, Aghazadeh did not detail the stage the conversion had reached, nor the amounts involved. A diplomat familiar with Iran’s conversion activities, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Iran apparently began in late August and had stopped at a precursor of uranium hexafluoride. Iran’s present suspension of enrichment falls short ofinternational demands. It says it is honoring a pledge not to put uranium hexafluoride gas into centrifuges, spin it and make enriched uranium. The resolution calls for a stop as

One World Market, which grew out of successful Sunday craft sides at the Watts Street Baptist Church in Durham, has held the annual fell rug sale seven times in the past 10 years. This year, the 1,300 rugs on display will stay at One World Market before moving on to 21 other locations in the U.S. “Many of the mg producers are part of cooperatives abroad,” said juniorLinda Arnade, who has shopped at One World Market and coordinated a Mi Gente “Shopping Day” there. ‘The point of [Shopping Day] was to have us shop for a good cause.” In addition to rugs, One World Market sells goods produced by farmers and artisans in more than 30 developing countries. The store returns 62 percent of the product proceeds to the artisans. The rest of the profit from merchandise goes toward shipping and marketing costs. To maintain this arrangement, One World Market is run almost entirely by volunteers. “It’s self-evident that [One World Market] wants to think of all religions, all people, all cultures as one,” said Durham, pointing to the store’s name and goal of promoting the exchange of beautifully hand-crafted goods across different cultures. “The store’s mission has always been to provide low-income artisans from around the world with a living wage that helps them pay for food, education, health care and housing,” she added. Amir Chaman, the representative from Ten Thousand Villages currently helping Durham to oversee the rug event, is living proof of the benefits of such fair trade practices. He graduated from one of the 10 schools aided by proceeds from One World Market. And when it comes to learning more about the rug-making venture, there is no one better to ask than Chaman. The son of the very pastor who initiated the project, he is truly his father’s son for advancing fair trade in Durham. Alan DeLisle, economic development director for the city of Durham, said he recognized the problems surrounding the unstable job environment. He said it is a very frustrating process to try to secure stable jobs for North Carolina residents and dislocated workers. The BTC report further noted as a cause of worker frustration the dissolution of the Worker Training Trust Fund, which funded many North Carolina employment assistance programs. Prior to its demise, the funding for the WTTF was supported by unemployment insurance reserves. Jordan said the high payouts from these funds during the recent economic downturn depleted the Unemployment Insurance Reserve Fund and emptied the WTTF —one more factor that has contributed to North Carolina workers’ disillusionment with the labor force. Experts recognize, however, that the employment problems in North Carolina will not go away overnight. “It’s not an easy process,” DeLisle said. “I’ll be the first one to admit that.” well to related activities, including a halt to making, assembling and testing centrifuges, and to producing the uranium hexafluoride. Iran is not prohibited from enrichment under its obligations to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. It has for months faced international pressure to suspend such activities as a good-faith gesture, but the resolution went further by actually demanding a stop to enrichment and related activities. While demanding Iran suspend all uranium enrichment activities, the resolution also recognized nations’ right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Aghazadeh repeated Iran’s view that his country was free to enrich no matter what the board demanded.

dents will write a transition memo to the victor, advising him on how to either fulfill a campaign promise or “walk the cat back” and retreat from a campaign promise. Feaver said he hopes his course will help his students “have some sympathy” for the challenges candidates face in any political race. Senior Scott Lemmon said the Seminar has already highlighted the candidates’ struggles to balance their policies with the need to keep campaign rhetoric concise. “The policies are 100 percent more complicated and complex than the statements that any candidate can make on an issue [in a campaign],” Lemmon said. Joseph Harris, associate professor of English and director of the Duke University Writing Program, has also made the partisan wranglings of the current campaigns the focus ofhis course. The purpose of the freshman seminar, “Framing the 2004 Election: Media and Metaphors,” is to encourage students to examine the language of the election rather than a particular candidate or party. His students are reading George LakofFs book MoralPolitics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think. In his book, Lakoff asserts that differing views of the ideal family underlie political differences in the United States and shape partisan disagreements about how to create a moral society. “What I’m assigning students to do is use the ideas in that book to read one of the discourses in the campaign and the election,” Harris said. “My point is not to suggest that [Lakoff] is right but rather to engage students in testing out his ideas against the evidence in the election and the campaigns.” Each student in the class is tracking a specific campaign issue, bringing in weekly updates in the form of newspaper articles and brief written assignments that evaluate

the language used to describe the issue with LakofFs theory in mind. Freshman Alexandra Dupont said the class assignments have brought to light the ideological, partisan divide between the candidates that intensifies each one’s criticisms of the other. “It’s really given me an understanding that both of the candidates are doing what they truthfully believe is morally right,” she said. “Each sees the other as ridiculous and themselves as the way to help the country out the most.” Harris said his primary goal is to help his students “become more critical readers and more effective academic writers.” The election, he explained, is an excellent vehicle for achieving these goals. “People learn best when they are reading and talking and writing about issues that matter to them,” he noted. Assistant Professor of Philosophy Andrew Janiak has taken a different approach in trying to shine the campus spotlight on the upcoming election. He is organizing a public forum called “The Voting Event” that will focus on the logistics and importance of the voting process rather than the candidates and their platforms. “Our hope is to convince students—particularly after the last election that was so close in so many states—that their votes are significant,” Janiak said. Janiak added that student-age voters should also take particular interest in this year’s election because they have a stake in many of its central issues, including the economy, military operations in Iraq, social security, health care and education. At the Sept. 26 event, several faculty members will discuss the history and significance of voting in the United States and compare the nation’s electoral system to voting methods in other countries throughout the world. Students will be able to ask questions, register to vote or pick up information about absentee ballots from all 50 states.

INFERENCE IMINATION

UNC spikes Duke in comeback Greg Beaton THE CHRONICLE

An old school lesson With each sucessive year, Division I college basketball players seem to value a college degree less and less. Sixteen of the first 20 athletes selected in this year’s NBA draft did not complete their college eligibility, and this trend is likely to continue. The lack ofincentives to graduate have precipitated this change. Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and Leßron James have all managed to be very successful without ever going to college. Players like Bryant have such extreme natural gifts and such an a priori obsession with the game that the maturity gained from the college experience is almost unnecessary. But Garnett and company are freaks of nature, and the majority of drafted players are not overwhelmingly gifted. How can coaches and fans persuade these more grounded players to complete their education? An obvious group ofrole models is the Duke players who graduated in the 1980s. Johnny Dawkins and Mike Gminski are the only members of this group with any substantial professional basketball success. Now that this group has had its bachelor degrees for more than 15 years, however, many of the players have had lasting, and in some ways more rewarding, success off the court. Billy King, a 1988 graduate, was a defensive master who played on two Duke Final Four squads. He won the Henry Iba Corinthian National Defensive Player of the Year award while earning a degree in political science. In addition to hosting his own movie review show on WBNQ-Radio in Bloomington, 111., King— without his name ever on an NBA roster—worked his way into a front office position for the Philadelphia 76ers. He currendy is the president and general manager of the organization and has won numerous awards. These honors include the 2000 Sports Executive of the Year at the Rainbow Sports Awards, Street •

They became much more aggressive, which helped lift their game.” Even though a crowd that filled most of the lower level at Cameron Indoor Stadium tried to push the Blue Devils to victory, the momentum shifted mid way through the second game, and North Carolina never looked back. Duke staked itself to an early 10-5 lead in the second, but North Carolina swiftly responded with a 9-3 run backed by heavy hitting and a porous Duke defense. For the Tar Heels, outside hitters Dani Nyenhius and Molly

Pyles racked up 20 and 16 kills, The Blue Devil defense could not match the speed and power of their opponents, often getting to blocks late and preventing their defense from getting points going. Compounding the team’s troubles, Duke’s passing was imprecise after the first game. “I feel like our passing broke down, which was not an issue in game one, and if you don’t have that you can’t side-out much,” Nagel said. “We kept trying to make adjustments the whole time, working with our blocks and defense.” North Carolina went on several lengthy runs to close out the second game by a wide margin. Duke made some minor line-up changes between the second and third to try to shore up its right-side attack while the match was still close. The Blue Devils hung close for much of the third game, even tying it up late. Some of the Duke fans began jumping up and down and screaming to distract North Carolina’s servers, and for a while the Blue Devils seemed to respond to the charged atmosphere. After a North Carolina time out, the Tar Heels went on a 7-2 run to close out the third game that included several big hits and a couple of Duke miscues.

After weather delayed play for nearly two hours, the secondranked Duke women’s golf team managed to retain a share of the lead it had entering the round despite shooting 10 over par. Most of the 21-team field struggled as no school shot better than three over par. The Blue Devils are tied atop the leaderboard with Washington at nine over par. The Huskies shot eightover-par Tuesday. “We’re not a bit worried about Washington,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “Golf isn’t a game of team strategy. We don’t guard our opponents. We really have to go out and do the exact same thing as the first two rounds.” Duke sophomore Brittany Lang, whose sparkling, schoolrecord 64 propelled her to a

Sometimes you don’t shoot 64.” Fellow Blue Devils Niloufar and Liz Aazam-Zanganeh Janangelo each played consistently, shooting one over par and two over par, respectively.

Maxi Moehlmann THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s stingy defense will conTerron Amos and the flashy offense of East Carolina University tonight. Duke’s seven-game shutout streak will be challenged as the Blue Devils (7-0) take on the Pirates (3-3) at 7 p.m. “[ECU] has scored more goals than any other team we’ve played this season,” head coach John Rennie said. “They’ve shown the ability to score goals off set pieces.” Duke’s defense has been dominant in the opening seven games, especially in a 1-0 victory over Clemson Saturday, when the Blue Devils prevented the Tigers from making runs at the net throughout most of the game. The unit will have to contend with a well-rounded and highly productive ECU offense headed by Amos, who has already tallied 16 points. Amos’ ability to pick apart Duke’s defense and get past fullback Danny Miller could decide tonight’s matchup. ECU has scored four goals this season off its corner kick play, involving three forwards who surround the keeper. By packing the box and suffocating the goalie, the Pirates have been able to execute the comer play with great efficiency. “[The Pirates] are very dangertest

ous off corners and free kicks,” Rennie said. “As always, we’re working to improve defensively but also verbally.” With a core dominated by freshmen, this year’s Blue Devils are relatively inexperienced. With a matchup with No. 2 Maryland looming this weekend, the team could be primed for an upset. Rennie has urged his team to remain focused. “East Carolina is a feisty team who we’re are not underestimating,” said senior goalie Justin Trowbridge, who picked up ACC Player of the Week honors. “Before the game against Maryland, we have our most important game of the year: the next one on the schedule, against ECU.” Although the scouting reports are very important, Rennie said the focus in practice has been on Duke play instead of the opponent. “We have a young team this year, and we’re more concerned with what we’re doing, not so much other teams,” Rennie said. Duke’s first ACC victory over Clemson has increased the Blue Devils’ momentum coming into this game, and the team cracked the top 25 for the first time this season in the College Soccer News poll. The last time ECU and Duke met was in 1994, when the Blue Devils soundly put away the Pirates, 6-0.

and Smith’s Business Journal’s “Forty under 40” list in 2001 and Sports Illustrated’s “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports” 2003 list, a group that included “men and women that are reshaping the sports industry and opening doors through which others will follow.” Although King’s jump shot never was good enough to make NBA execs drool, he now says the life lessons he learned by staying in college allowed him to rise to his current position of power. “The best four years of my life were spent at Duke,” King said on a recent trip to Duke. “Being at Duke made me what I am today.” King’s 76ers will practice in Cameron Indoor Stadium this year for their training camp session. Tommy Amaker, ’B7, has had similar success since obtaining his degree in economics. Amaker, too, was a national defensive player of the year before spending his early post-grad years at the Fuqua School of Business. Amaker then began coaching as an assistant to Mike Krzyzewski. Seton Hall eventually hired Amaker as its head coach, and he compiled a 68-55 record. Promoted once again, Amaker is now at the helm of one of the most storied programs in the country at the University of Michigan. •Johnny Dawkins, ’B6, had a dominating career at Duke, leaving the school as its all-time leading scorer. Dawkins played in nine NBA seasons for the Spurs, 76ers and the Pistons. He has been at Duke for seven seasons and is Krzyzewski’s associate head coach. Mike Gminski, ’BO, has used his talents in the media world. Gminski, whose number 43 is retired in Cameron’s

rafters, played in the NBA for 14 seasons after graduating with a degree in history. He is currently a color commentator for a number of stations carrying college basketball games. King, Amaker, Dawkins and Gminski are not the only accomplished former players. Jay Bilas, Quinn Snyder, David Henderson and many others fill out a long list of people with success stories from their post-playing days. If a college player questions why he should finish his degree, he only has to look at the players who graduated from Duke in the 1980s. Many of these men became leaders at some of the most respected universities and organizations in the country. This success shows exactly why it pays to couple basketball talent with a complete education.

A lengthy fire-alarm delayed the start of the fourth, causing a majority of the fans to exit and allowing both teams the chance to regroup before the fourth. North Carolina took advantage of the resp’*" and came out strong again in the fourth. The Tar Hecla tallied 12 straight points in the middle of the fourth, causing both coaches to substitute in several bench players. “I don’t feel like we gave up, but I do feel like we acted like we didn’t have any control,” Nagel said. “We need to understand that we always have control over how we pass and serve.” Duke tacked on points after the game and match had already been decided, and the final score was less lopsided than the play of the two teams indicated. During most of the fourth game, the Duke defense appeared to be disorganized. This was in stark contrast to the first game, when the Blue Devils controlled the net, allowing the back line defense to make a few sprawling digs. Freshman Jenny Shull led the team with six digs during the first game and had 14 overall. Freshman Carrie DeMange, who earned ACC Player of the week honors, led Duke with 15 kills, six of which were in the first game. With the loss, Duke falls a point behind early in the run for this year’s Carlyle Cup—the all-sport competition between Duke and North Carolina. A new athletic department student booster club, the Inferno, drummed up student support for the year’s first matchup with North Carolina.

North Carolina snapped Duke's nine-match win streak Tuesday night in<None> Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“I was really excited about the fan support. We’re very disappointed we didn’t pull off the ‘W’ for the fans,” Nagel said, “Obviously this is a huge rivalry but I don’t want that to be an issue for our team. I want our team to play with composure and be aggressive against any opponent.”

They Blue Devils next play Maryland home Friday night in another conference tilt. ‘This is just the first [league] competition we’ve seen,” said Nagel. “We’re going to pick ourselves up and come back fighting, I can tell you that much.” at

www.chronicle.duke.edu

Duke sped up to finish the round before sundown. “I don’t want to use it as an excuse, but I noticed that we were rushed on a few strokes at the end because of the delay,” Brooks said. Anna Grzebien was at even par for the day when she reached the 14th tee, but struggled on the last five holes, finishing at four over. Freshman Jennifer Pandolfi faltered on the 14th, 15th, and 16th holes, losing four strokes. She battled back, however, carding a birdie on the 17th and a par on the 18th. “[Pandolfi] is doing great. She’s in a new environment, and that can really affect your game. She’ll come along. Her game looks solid,” Brooks said. Going into the final round, Arizona State trails Duke and Washington by two strokes. Oklahoma State and Georgia, each three back, round out the top five. Arizona State and Oklahoma State are each led by a player at eight under par, the best individual score. UCLA, the only team ranked ahead of Duke in the preseason poll, trails the leaders by eight strokes. “Winning tournaments is what we’re all about,” Brooks said. We’re so used to being number one that number two doesn’t add any pressure. We don’t worry about rankings. I don’t think this tournament is any kind of indicator. We’ve already shown that we’re a team that can win any tourney.”

Stop indiscriminate use of word ‘terror’ The concept of terrorism is being brandished like a weapon. It denounces and isolates—labeling with connotations of horror and unspeakable barbarism. Terrorists are those beyond the pale of reason, inhuman, senseless. Our current government uses the word as a means of dehumanizing opponents, faceless monsters that must be batded at all costs —even that of civil liberties and human rights. This demagoguery has been used to justify the indefinite detention of “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo Bay, in defiance of both international and domestic law. The rhetoric of terrorism has led to the excesses at Abu Ghraib, where Iraqis have been subjected to the grossest of dehumanizing acts. Is this not terrifying? The word terror reflects the natural fear and anxiety of being harmed. But such incendiary language inspires panic and alarm. It inhibits the rational assessment of the reasons, conditions and history that lead to a given conflict, thus preventing the search for solutions. A recent petition to the University administration employs misleading and inflammatory language to condemn the Palestinian Solidarity Movement. Contrary to the accusation leveled by the petition, the movement does not support violence, but seeks viable alternatives, namely divestment. The trading of accusations, however, has led our community into a standoff. Engaging in a debate of violence—righteous versus unrighteous, legitimate or illegitimate, defensive or offensive—only leads to

impasse. It culminates in a spiral of competing claims—with each side endlessly mirroring the other’s accusations. This kind of conversation resembles the reciprocal violence plaguing the Middle East, a mortal volley between faceless

halt. The due consideration of another’s perspective and motives makes dialogue possible. Only through communication can the different context of another’s history, beliefs, and suffering be understood. This is truly the meaning of converse—to turn something around, convert the terms of engagement and consider the worth of another’s argument. We read to consider perspectives different from our own in time and space. We discuss to dismantle and shake up assumptions, examine the truth of competing claims and attempt to clarify or settle. Reproducing selfrighteous doctrine or dogma—propaganda designed to discredit your enemies—does nothing but reproduce the primary conditions leading to violence. The PSM Conference is a chance to consider the humanity of the Palestinians—rather than color them in a war paint that stains our own hands. Let’s use the conference as a chance to sit at the same table, inhabit the same space and listen to each other’s languages. Ellen McLarney Assistant Professor of the Practice Asian and African Languages and Literature

Third party candidates Craig Grabowski’s Sept. 17 letter was infused with so many non-sensical insuations, above and beyond whining about the local rag, I had to comment. If Grabowski is not pleased with President George W. Bush or Sen. John Kerry, then he may vote for Badnarik or write-in Brown, Cobb or Nader. But please, spare us the inaccurate, melodramatic Soviet analogies. Incidentally, in “a Soviet election” according to my friends who lived there, only one candidate per position was on the ballot. Even when I have been called for opinion polls—and I have—Nader has always been a choice. Then why does he never poll more than five percent? The fact that I suspect is hard for Grabowski to accept, is his favored candidates are not popular because they are just not popular and not because of some widespread conspiracy of some group or another or some other “if they were only allowed in the debates” excuse. To make my case I am going to take the state of California. From Grabowski’s letter I am going to guess that Grabowski is quite left of center, somewhere around the Green Party. I could be wrong of course, and he may hover somewhere around the Libertarian party, but my point holds nonetheless. In 2002, then-Govemor Gray Davis faced a re-election bid among widespread discontent in the state. Californians were displeased with Davis’ handling of the California energy crisis, the failing economy, and the growing state budget deficit. Camejo, the Green Party candidate, only earned five percent of the vote among dismal voter turnout. If there ever was

an election where a third-party candidate has a chance, it was in 2002. Then came the famed and wide-open October 2003 Gray Davis Recall Election. To place your name on the ballot, you needed 100 signatures and $3500. There were 135 candidates on the ballot, and five present during the debate right before the election including Camejo of the Green Party. If there was ever a free-for-all election, this was it. But it didn’t help Camejo much; He scored only 2.8 percent of the vote. The cumulative vote count of all non-Democrat or Republican contestants came to a whopping four percent. A year later in the mayoral election in San Francisco, the bastion off all that is not mainstream, the Green Party had its best chance. A rather conservative Democrat Gavin Newsome faced Green Party Matt Gonzalez and Gonzalez lost. A third party could not even win a simple mayoral election in their stronghold. Which raises the following question: If third-party candidates cannot win elections amidst widespread public disaffection with their elected officials, complete ballot and debate access, and in their political strongholds, then exactly when, where and underwhat conditions will they win an election? And this brings me back to Grabowski, who needs to consider and lament the fact that he is in the political minority not because we have turned in the Soviet Union, and not for any other reason than that we simply do not agree with him.

I hatethe Garden State

It’s

rare when every friend you come across inde-

pendently tells you to watch the same movie. You’ll

love it, they say. You’ll really grasp those über-profound themes. Relendess wisecracks will make you laugh out of the side ofyour mouth. The soundtrack will make you feel like a bom and bred hipster sporting ringer tees and ripped jeans, jamming to Belle and Sebastian on your iPod. It’s even rarer when they are wrong. This is the first film I ever wanted to walk out of. I didn’t because I’m a cheapskate. But if I wanted an overload of pretentious angst like I got that night, I should have shut myself up in my dorm room and put Dashboard Confessional and Linkin Park on shuffle. I could not for the life of me relate to Garden State. You didn't relate either, but you probably think you did. Garden State, for me, holds the facade of complacent genius of a poem I wrote in third grade. Everyone wrote those kinds of poems in third grade. They are the kinds of things that make me want to punch myself out when I look back on who I was when I wrote them. That is a tiny idea of how I feel about Zach Braff, exr-.f-s cept he has no excuse to be writing this kind of slop at his age. Natalie Portman is hot. She’s a fantastic actress. But not only j. is she miscast in this the little engine that ran you over film, but she is also dir ;or a .iggmg acbout f' dreg of indie credibility. Hipsters unite! Three cheers for Portman! I realize that my friends are going to hate me for writing this column. Perhaps this commentary is pretentious in itself. I’m willing to take that risk because I, for one, was pretty damn confused about the tearcatching paper cup in the bathtub. I mean, are you kidding me? Is this happening? Garden State feels so long. That is because it is so boring. It is also because it is derivative of many beautifully wrought films—American Beauty, Annie Hall, Lost in Translation. There is an old adage that states: In order to be regarded as genius, do something that has been done, and has been done we 11... then do it better. Unfortunately, Braff takes only the first part of this statement into account. His film is cliche. Braff is attempting to convey a progression in true human emotion. Main character awakens to a sterile white room in the beginning. Main character gets bad news, walks past a couple of automated faucets for some dry laughs and goes home. Main character meets girl, falls in love, divulges secrets, comes clean, leaves girl, comes back to her anyway, the end. Braff s character slowly but steadily emerges from a medicated stupor, and I think that’s great. It is supposed to be dazzling, how the movie progresses from the sterile silent whiteness of a solitary bedroom to the raging cinematography in the rock quarry—but it isn’t. In fact, as the plotline developed, I found myself feeling more and more sedated. Brain cells committed suicide. Feet fell asleep. Medication sounded like a good idea. There are a few funny moments in the beginning of the film, but they are trite. I know at least four pot-smoking moms. The only thing I can salvage out of this film is the main character’s graveyard-digging sidekick. He was the man. Other than this one exception, I just didn’t care enough about any of the characters by the time BrafFs character spilled the beans during the fireplace scene. And if I didn’t care then, I was definitely not in the mood for the bathtub scene —or the father-son scene—let alone the typical airport ending. But I do certainly love the Shins. I saw them live junior year in high school and a second time this past summer. But God forbid I ever hear New Slang on any of your iPods, and the accompanying account of where you first heard it. And ifI find one more conveniently dreary little Coldplaysong in yet another poorly acted, skeletally scripted coming-to-terms-with-myyoung-and-terrible-life film, I’m buying a copy of Napoleon Dynamite for repeat viewings and never seeing another movie again.
