Duke boosts security for PSM Kelly Rohrs THE CHRONICLE

The University is bracing for protests next week, and officials are mobilizing every aspect of the security and communication departments in anticipation of the potential violence that administrators hope will remain in the theoretical realm.

As many as 100 security officers from the Duke University Police Department and other sources will secure the campus Oct. 14 to 17, when the annual conference of the Palestine Solidarity Movement and a slew of

events sponsored by pro-Israeli groups will take place on campus. A team of student affairs administrators and faculty, similar to the “A-team” that patrols basketball bonfires, will serve as a first line of defense for any conflicts that may occur.

The University is dictating—and paying for—security at events held by both PSM and the Joint Israel Initiative, a coalition of groups sponsoring the majority of the pro-Israeli programming. An estimate for the total cost is not yet available because the actual level of secu-

rity will depend on the way the weekend plays out.

“We have thought about this a lot,” said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, who coordinates all safety departments on campus.

At last year’s PSM conference at Ohio State University, several busloads of people descended upon the campus to protest the conference during the weekend.

Duke officials are preparing for any protests that may arise.

“We do know that these [protests] could be potentially SEE PSM ON PAGE 6

The University reaffirmed its commitment to fair labor practices Wednesday—even though impending changes to the international market may mean that Duke could have to increase prices on its apparel.

The Multi-fiber Agreement, a 30-year-old multilateral treaty that establishes export quotas for all textile-producing nations, will expire at the beginning of 2005. No longer restricted by this framework, many textile manufacturers will have incentive to move their operations to countries that were previously exporting at their quota.

Many of these countries also enforce lower standards for worker’s rights.

Duke has applied a comprehensive code of conduct to the companies that make its licensed products since 1998. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask wrote a letter to Students Against Sweatshops Wednesday, reiterating the University’s fair labor policy even after the MFA becomes defunct.

“Duke will not permit its licensees to shift production of Duke merchandise to facilities which do not meet our existing standards,” Trask wrote to SAS, which has repeatedly petitioned

Elizabeth Duncan can say it loud: she’s bronze and she’s proud. The sophomore with a penchant for Nelly and the life sciences has another passion—basking in the artificial light of a tanning bed.

“Obviously I like laying out in the natural sun better, but this is so much easier with my schedule,” Duncan said from behind the wheel of her sunburn-red Pontiac Firebird. “You see people laying out on

the quad while reading—l’d rather sleep or relax in the tanning bed. I just can’t read and tan at the same time.”

And so it is that Duncan, armed with a bottle of tan accelerating lotion, finds herself striding into K-Nails on Hillsborough Road most Friday afternoons. Citing stress relief and a need to “escape Duke” as two of her goals, the olive-skinned West Virginian has been getting her tanning fix ever since her high school days. ‘There have been psychological studies that show that you’re happier when you tan,” she insisted. “It’s something about the light.”

The ambiance of K-Nails, Duncan warns, is not quite like the day spa environment. Homey touches, including plastic floral arrangements and a half-dozen lowresolution Monet prints, fall short of fostering a luxurious atmosphere. Other furnishings, like the vibrating purple massage chairs in the main lobby, are even more SEE TANNING ON PAGE 6

the University administration to stick by its code of conduct following the MFA’s termination.

In accordance with the Code of Conduct for Duke University Licensees, the University will automatically sever ties with any manufacturer that relocates factories to a country where the laws prohibit compliance with Duke’s criteria, said Jim Wilkerson, director of Duke Stores.

The University will also examine factory relocations to countries where laws do not directly conflict with the Code of Conduct.

‘This might make it a bit more difficult for [licensees to relocate],” Wilkerson said.

Senate approves intelligence legislation by

Jesse Holland

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, D.C.

The Senate

overwhelmingly approved a massive reorganization of the United States intelligence community Wednesday to address the Sept. 11 commission’s complaints that the nation’s spy agencies do not work together properly to deter terrorist attacks.

The bill, approved on a 96-2 vote, will create a national counterterrorism center and also a position ofnational intelligence director who would coordinate most of the nation’s nonmilitary intelligence agencies.

‘Those two provisions are the key recommendations of the 9/11 commission,”

said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who shepherded the bill with Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn. “We want to make sure that the new national intelligence director is able to marshal the funds, the people and the resources to counter the threat of terrorism and other emerging threats.”

The House plans to take up similar legislation later this week, but that legislation includes additional anti-terrorism and illegal immigration powers, that could preclude getting the recommended changes to President George W. Bush before the election.

The 9/11 commission contended that the 15 military and civilian intelligence

agencies’ failure to cooperate precluded an effective defense that might have prevented the 2001 terror attacks on New York City and Washington. The panel recommended creating a position ofnational intelligence director to control and coordinate all the agencies.

The commission, along with the White House, endorsed the Senate bill. It faced little opposition from either side in the Senate, although many supporters of the Pentagon and the intelligence community wanted it changed to preserve power for their committees or those agencies.

Turkey gains recommendation from EU by

Constant Brand

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS, Belgium In a historic move that could extend Europe’s borders to the edge of the volatile Middle East, the European Union recommended Wednesday setting mosdy Muslim Turkey on a course for full membership in the prosperous 25-nation bloc. Reflecting widespread misgivings, however, the 30member EU executive commission set tough conditions to prevent Turkey from backtracking on sweeping democratic and human rights reforms.

“This is a qualified yes,” said European Commission President Romano Prodi. “Our position is a positive one, but also a prudent, cautious one.”

French President Jacques Chirac said talks with Turkey could last 10 to 15 years “at a minimum.”

Such caution reflected unease throughout a prosperous and mostly Christian continent about union with a poorer Muslim nation that could be a source of unwelcome migrants. Europeans

DSG officially approves new Black Tenting policy by

Julie

Stolberg THE CHRONICLE

The 2004-2005 policy for admissions men’s basketball games stood toward the back of the line at Wednesday night’s Duke Student Government meeting. Discussion of approval of group charters, interest in a special presentation on the DukeCard and three new resolutions drew more attention than the unanimous passage of the formerly controversial new tenting policy.

This year’s guidelines incorporate a black tenting period prior to Blue Tenting. The new perito

od,

significantly

more rigorous than Blue Tenting, is designed to address the administration’s safety concerns over students returning early to camp out.

Black tenting requires the presence of 10 stuSteve Rawson dents at night and students during the day and only eight allows grace for weather emergencies and home basketball games.

DSG President Pasha Majdi said the implementation of black tenting will prevent drastic changes to the Krzyzewskiville community that may have occurred if the student organization did not act before the administration. ‘The reason we take it seriously is that there have been talks about setting a date before which students can come back, which would have ruined first come first serve,” Majdi said.

The changes should create a healthier and safer environment and have been received positively by the K-Ville community, Head Line Monitor Steve Rawson said. To formulate the policy, Rawson met with tenters who are likely to participate in black tenting as well as with former line monitors.

This year’s changes also include a switch from tenting for Maryland to Wake Forest, and the creation of a tent for line monitors to “facilitate communication with the tenters,” Rawson said. “We as the line monitors really want to be perceived

Majdi and Rawson also stated the primary challenge this year is informing students that camping out for weeks on end is not necessary to gain admission to games. “One of the most important things that we have to do this year is address the fans who want to come to games but think it’s too much of a pain,” Majdi said.

In other business DSG passed three new resolutions

Ghadimi has been unable to teach since his work authorization was canceled. DSG will contact Duke professor and congressperson David Price, D-N.C., and Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., to expedite the probe into Ghadimi’s work authorization.

DSG also passed a resolution recommending that students travel through Duke Clinic when returning from parking lots near the Medical Center. Currently ac-

Students debate host of foreign policy issues by

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

While most Duke students spent midweek hunched over blue books scribbling timed essays or feverishly darkening in bubbles on multiple choice exams, 16 seniors showcased their mid-semester progress to their professor and their peers in an all-out, public political debate Wednesday night.

After a month of research and preparation, the 16 students in Political Science Professor Peter Feaver’s seminar, “Foreign Policy in the Presidential Campaign,” took to the stage in White Lecture Hall to debate the policy platforms of President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry, DMass. Feaver said the students’ mid-term grades would be based on the effectiveness and accuracy of their responses.

In front of an audience consisting mostly of students, two eight-person teams—one arguing for Bush’s policies and one for Kerry’s—answered questions posed by moderatorsBruce Jentleson, director of the Sanford Institute of Public term

Policy, and Ambassador David Litt, a career foreign service officer and diplomatin-residence at Duke. Jentleson offered a Democratic point of view, while Litt represented a Republican perspective.

During the opening statements, senior Matthew Yoeli, arguing for the Kerry team, complained about what he deemed the Bush administration’s “reckless, offfocus and flawed” foreign policy. In contrast, Bush team member senior Daniel Kennedy argued that the Bush administration has made the United States safer by defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan and ousting Saddam Hussein in Iraq. He added that national safety in the future depends on leaders having an optimistic outlook on the issues—which he claimed Bush possesses.

For almost two hours, the teams debated foreign policy issues ranging from the invasion of Iraq and the Iranian nuclear program to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. homeland security measures.

Israel attempts to delay Palestinian State debate by

Joseph Federman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM A top adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in a published interview Wednesday that Israel’s planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip is meant to delay the establishment of a Palestinian state indefinitely, and claimed the United States supports the policy.

The blunt assessment by Dov Weisglass, Sharon’s point man with the President George W. Bush administration, came a week into a broad Israeli incursion in Gaza that has killed 75 people.

Weisglass’ comments, published in the Haaretz daily, contradicted the Israeli government's assurances that it remains committed to the U.S.-backed “road map,” which calls for an independent Palestinian state* alongside Israel, but has been stalled for months amid violations by both sides.

“Effectively, the whole package called the Palestinian state with all that entails has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with authority and permission, all this with a presidential blessing and the ratification of both houses of Congress.”

“What I effectively agreed to with the Americans was that part of the settlements would not be dealt with at all,” Weisglass said.

Sharon has proposed withdrawing from Gaza and four West Bank setdements as part of his disengagement plan meant to separate Israelis and Palestinians after four years of fighting. Sharon refuses to negotiate with the Palestinians, claiming that the current leadership is not a serious peace partner.

Adhering to Feaver’s requirements for the event, the debaters could not deviate from Bush and Kerry’s foreign policy platforms or offer original ideas.

On the issue of Iraq —which dominated last week’s televised debate between Bush and Kerry—the student teams presented the candidates’ differing views regarding the distribution of funds in post-invasion efforts. While the Bush team noted the importance of rebuilding Iraq’s infrastructure, the Kerry team argued that most monies should be devoted to bolstering domestic security.

“You can’t reconstruct the roads if you can’t leave the house,” senior Michaela Kerrissey said.

Freshman Lauren Jones, a student in another of Feaver’s classes, thought that the debate was insightful but admitted that she was motivated to attend the event

by Feaver’s promise to include a bonus question drawn from Wednesday’s debate on her final exam. Although she said she has already decided who she will vote for on Nov. 2, Jones said the debate “shed a new light” on her political opinions, particularly on the issue of international environmentalism.

Before Jones and the rest of the audience trickled into the auditorium, members of both teams nervously perfected the setup of the stage and their own appearances in what Feaver called “organized chaos.” The Kerry team straightened their black suits, and the male team members adjusted their matching blue ties. The men on the Bush side sought Feaver’s help in tying their brightly-colored bow ties, which they bought specially for the event.

week’s debate, the Kerry team drank from Poland Spring brand water bottles.

In class during the weeks leading up to last night’s debate, Feaver’s students focused on how foreign policies affect candidates’ campaigns and, conversely, how campaigns influence candidates’ policies. The students also learned to sift through the two current candidates’ rhetoric and find their histories and platforms to make objective arguments.

Members of the Bush team said they prepared extensively for the debate, conducting independent research and holding several meetings a week. Dividing up the issues offered the biggest challenge, they said, but it also fostered a necessary feeling of teamwork.

Like the real candidates, however, the students’ work is far from done, even with their mid-term debate behind them. After Election Day, Feaver said each student will write a transition memo to the newly elected president about how to facilitate the shift from campaigning to governing. The students may also urge the president to reverse a promise made during the campaign by changing his stance on a particular issue.

detrimental to achieving a spa-like calm. “I just go to this place because it’s cheap and it’s close,” Duncan said as she wound her way through drywall partitions to stall No. 2.

In terms of process, Duncan insists, things are pretty straightforward. “I like to sanitize my goggles just to make sure,” she said, dousing the blue rubber frames in antibacterial cleanser and wiping them with a towel. “After that, you just take off all your clothes and get in.”

The “getting in” part could prove challenging to those with claustrophobic inclinations—K-Nails’ beds resemble glowing MRI scanners. “These beds are... well, they’re okay. Here I usually do 20,” she said, referencing the built-in minute meter on the outer casing of the machine.

Duncan, it seems, is far from an anomaly; “tanorexics” are everywhere on campus, promoting their nut-brown complexions as a definitively beautiful characteristic. “I feel like Duke’s Southern

controversial,” DUPD Chief Clarence Birkhead said. “The magnitude of this conference is really pulling the security forces of the campus together.”

Jewish groups on campus have encouraged their members not to protest PSM events direcdy, but national opposition to the conference has been growing. An online petition encouraging President Richard Brodhead to reject the conference had more than 82,000 signatures Wednesday night.

The Jewish Defense Organization, whose website declares that it is “training Jews to defend themselves against Nazi terror,” is mobilizing people as well. Multiple people who contacted The Chronicle but refused to give their names said the group held a meeting Tuesday blasting Duke’s decision to allow the conference and chastising campus Jewish groups for not organizing protests.

A telephone recording on the organization’s official phone number encouraged people not to donate to Duke and to contact the University to protest what the recording called “an Arab terror meeting.”

JDO has claimed responsibility for at least one act of vandalism against French right-wing extremist Jean-Marie Le Pen, according to the website of the AntiDefamation League, an organization that combats anti-Semitism and seeks “justice and fair treatment.”

The Anti-Defamation League has not condemned Duke’s decision, but it has

Not everyone agrees that direct UV-exposure is as low-risk as loyal tanners would have you believe. Spray-on tans have their own fan base. “Go sunless,” sophomore Stacie Ulanch said. ‘Yes, it’s more expensive, but you only have to go once, and it doesn’t kill you. Who wants to pay for skin cancer?”

Even with serious health repercussions and the money-sapping quality of being a Coppertone poster-girl, tanning is not likely to lose its popularity. The health consequences of activities like drinking and smoking have long been widely publicized, but significant declines in these unhealthy practices have yet to be seen.

“It’s easy to dismiss the fact that tanning is unhealthy because you don’t see it immediately,” Feagles said. “If you’re hung over, you feel like crap and you know right away that it’s bad for you.”

Conversely, Duncan seems to think the only thing keeping tanning from becoming an all-out fad is the scarcity oflocal beds.

“Someone would make a fortune if they put a salon on campus,” she said.

will be “one notch higher” than it would be for an ordinary outdoor concert, Birkhead said. Although the concert is technically not part of the pro-Israeli events of the weekend, several student groups have seen it as directed against the PSM conference because PSM refused to sign a statement that condemns terrorism.

Bar-on said the organization’s policies prevent it from commenting on any means of resistance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Hiwar, the student group hosting the conference, has said it condemns terrorism but did not sponsor the concert. “I think it’s specifically a counter-concert to the PSM conference,” said junior Emily Antoon, president of Hiwar. “I think it’s implicitly endorsing state terrorism.”

A variety of other campus groups ranging from political organizations to cultural centers have also chosen not to endorse the concert for a variety of reasons.

The Office of News and Communications has put together an expanded team of public relations experts drawn from all areas of the University. In addition to disseminating general information about the event, the news office has set up a “rumor control” team in an attempt to prevent misinformation about the conference from leaking. “”We want to try to share the facts as broadly as we can before false information takes on a life of its own,” said David Jarmul, associate vice president of news and communications. The University will continually update its website throughout the weekend.

culture plays into the idea that tanning is important,” said freshman Amy Feagles, another tanning devotee. “I don’t know the science of the mental health benefits, but here I feel that it’s more about appearances than drowning your sorrows.”

Regardless of the driving motivation behind banishing pasty pallor, no hardcore tanner will deny that the costs can add up. Some of the more expensive salons can charge more than $3O per 20minute session, a hefty price tag when weekly visits add up. Feagles sees this as a sign that tanning is rapidly becoming the latest symbol of status. “If you’re not affluent, you’re not going to have the extra $2O lying around to go tanning,” she said. “You can easily drop $BO-$ 100 a month. Easily.”

Beyond spare cash, however, some tanners are willing to compromise spending in other areas to splurge at the salon. “I was at the mall, and I thought to myself, hmm, I have $2O, do I want to tan or eat lunch?” said Feagles, tongue in cheek. “Then I thought, well, tanning makes you tan, and food makes you fat, so I went tanning.”

‘They recognize that we are very serious.”

Trask noted that the licensees were less likely to move if faced with the threat of losing Duke’s business and said the change in products would be minimal if the University did break ties with any licensees.

“The worst that could happen is that the price of Duke T-shirts will go up a few dollars,” he said.

With the MFA on its last legs, Wilkerson said many textile companies—including several that produce Duke-licensed material—plan to relocate their operations to certain countries that explicitly forbid their workers to practice free assembly and collective bargaining, rights that are protected by the Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct lays out many standards—ethical, environmental and legal—for any manufacturer of Duke-licensed goods, but its most detailed component is a list of standards for employment conditions.

These expectations forbid child labor, forced servitude, workplace abuse and other offenses. Although Duke itself relies on other institutions to inspect factories, Trask said he is confident that the University will be aware of its licensees’ workplace conditions.

Duke will solicit information about labor conditions from workers’ groups such as the Fair Labor Association and

the Worker Rights Consortium, as well as the U.S. government and human rights watchdog groups.

The University does not desire to end ties with its licensees, Wilkerson said, but rather to compel them to maintain factories where labor conditions are up to Duke’s standards.

“It is true that in China, in Vietnam, in Myanmar... the laws there specifically prohibit compliance with the Code of Conduct,” Wilkerson said. “The one provision [of the Code of Conduct] that would be at the greatest risk is... the right and the ability of the workers to join together.”

SAS applauded the University’s decision but advocated for still stricter enforcement of the Code of Conduct.

“We welcome the administration’s response,” said junior Jennifer Chien, a member of SAS. “However, we are deeply concerned in that our Code of Conduct does not provide a means to enforce itself.”

Chien also noted that the MFA’s expiration has already begun to cause factories to migrate, citing a recent announcement by a licensee that had provided adequate labor conditions and was now moving its factory from Indonesia to China.

Regardless of criticisms of the Code of Conduct, administrators consider the University’s affirmation of labor rights a moral victory.

“I thought it was imperative that we make an early, strong, principled stand,” Trask said.

drawals, planned for next year, will enable Israel to consolidate control of large blocks ofWest Bank settlements.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said Weisglass revealed Israel’s real intentions. “Weisglass claims that the Americans are supporting him, and I would like once again to hear an American response on that matter,” he said.

In Washington, State Department spokesperson Adam Ereli said Washington had expressed concern to Israeli officials over Weisglass’ statements.

“I’ve been in this body for only 18 years, but this is one of my prouder moments because of the way this entire body has acted in the national interest,” added Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who originally wanted the Senate to pass a bill that would have enacted the commission’s recommendations verbatim.

But several of the Senate’s senior members—many of whom would lose some power over the intelligence community argued against the bill, and warned that the legislative process was moving too fast.

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va of West Virginia, the Democrats’ senior senator, reminded his colleagues that they moved too quickly on the Iraq war resolution and the creation of the Homeland Security Department.

“Like a whipped dog fearing its master, the Senate obediently complied with the demands of the White House,” Byrd said. “Hindsight reveals the mistakes the Senate made two years earlier.”

The Homeland Security Department is stymied by “bureaucratic infighting, unresolved turf wars and insufficient funding,” Byrd said, while the White House’s arguments of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq have “has disintegrated into a mess of lies and hot air.”

The Senate bill must be reconciled with House legislation before it can go the White House for Bush’s signature, and the two bills currently are very different.

The House also plans this week to approve legislation to create an intelligence director position and a national counterterrorism center. But the GOP also plans to add provisions on anti-terrorism, identity theft, illegal immigration and border security measures that Democrats and some Republicans think shouldn’tbe included.

Senate leaders still think something can be accomplished by Election Day. “Some of our colleagues who started out most skeptical or opposed to what we were doing ended up supporting the proposal because they believed it was right,” Lieberman said. “I look forward to the House Senate conference with the same kind of optimism. The fact is that there’s an urgency to do something.”

Weisglass’ comments appeared largely aimed at courting Israeli hard-liners.

Sharon has lost his parliamentary majority over the plan, and has not been able to broaden his coalition during the summer recess. Parliament is reconvening next week and will vote on the Gaza withdrawal in coming months.

Weisglass spoke as Israel’s military waged a major military campaign against Palestinian militants in the northern Gaza Strip. It was launched a week ago in response to Palestinian rocket fire that killed two Israeli children.

Since then, 75 Palestinians have been killed. The military said its missiles have killed dozens of members of rocket squads and gunmen, but Palestinian hospital officials said 30 of the dead were civilians, including women and children.

TURKEY from page 2 Prodi said the EU could suspend or even halt membership negotiations over any serious and persistent failure to respect democracy or human rights.

‘We need to take our time on this,” he said. “A lot still remains to be done.”

Erdogan said the move was unjust because none of the 10 EU members that joined the bloc in May had to win voter approval first.

“It is unfair and will destroy the motivation of Turkey to stay the course on economic and political reforms to get into the EU,” Erdogan said in Strasbourg, France.

Israeli Prime MinisterAriel Sharon (right) plans to withdraw Israelisfrom the Gaza Strip.

Early Wednesday, tanks fired several shells toward the Jebaliya refugee camp, scene of the heaviest fighting.

The shell hit a house, killing a father and son, ages 55 and 25, and wounding eight members of the family, Palestinian hospital official said. The army said troops fired after an anti-tank shell was launched from the house.

Also Wednesday, a 15-year-old boy died of wounds, after being shot in the head by troops as he stood on the balcony of his

home outside Jebaliya, doctors said.

Later Wednesday, Israeli helicopters struck what the army said was a Hamas weapons workshop in Jebaliya. Palestinian officials said one bystander was slightly wounded.

In central Gaza, three Palestinian gunmen armed grenades and other weapons broke into the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom under cover of mortar and antitank fire, and were killed in exchanges of fire with Israeli troops, the army said.

tion open to it, including the NATO alliance, and Europe’s top human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe.

Guenter Verheugen, the EU’s enlargement commissioner, said the EU could not deny Turkey’s bid this time around.

“The choice was very clear. Turkey was simply too g00d.... Progress was too good” to say no”, he said. “We can trust Turkey that the country will continue... improving the situation.”

Under EU rules, citizens from member countries have the right to travel, live and work freely in any of the member states. But many fear mass Turkish immigration if the country joins the EU. Restrictions on migrant workers were added when the 10 newest members— Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Cyprus,

Malta and the Czech Republic signed a treaty last year.

Turkey also must have “a functioning market economy” before talks are opened, a condition that could present a significant hindrance. Turkey still lags far behind economically, with a per capita income of the equivalent of about $4,000, a fraction of the EU average.

Turkish membership also would bring Europe’s borders to Syria and Iraq—a fact that opponents' say moves Europe too close to the unstable Middle East.

Many EU nations are wary of admitting Turkey, an overwhelmingly Muslim country of 71 million people, into the EU. There is opposition in many European nations with sizable immigrant populations and right-wing parties keen to exploit immigration issues in electoral campaigns.

Sutton Foster has earned a Tony Award, an Astaire Award, a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award. She has performed on Broadway and has co-produced a musical to benefit children’s theater.

She also takes frequent trips to SuperTarget —in Durham.

The Theater Previews at Duke program finally forced Foster to journey from the Big Apple to Tobacco Road. The program invited the 29-year-old actor to join the cast of Little Women: The Musical, which will debut at Duke and then go on to Broadway.

Before wowing audiences in New York and Durham, the Augusta, Ga. native was performing in community theater as a child

and taking dance lessons to channel her energy. “I was such a spaz,” she laughs.

Foster’s big debut came when a local theater, casting a performance ofLittle Orphan Annie, approached her dance school seeking young actors. “It was the first time I’d ever sung in front of anyone,” she says.

Unbeknownst to Foster and her parents, she had an amazing voice. “I got the lead,” she says, brimming with excitement.

The role sparked a career that would eventually take Foster to Broadway. “About five years ago I had a moment where was I like... I guess this is whatI’m doing,” she says, still unable to believe her good fortune. “I never in a million years thought I could make a living [perfoming on stage].” Foster was able to make a living; her crisp, melodic

voice sailed through several musicals, including Grease, Les Miserables and the tide role in Thoroughly Modem Millie, which landed her the 2002 Tony Award for Best Actress.

Foster’s mesmerizing talent compelled Theater Previews at Duke to ask the actor to join the musical rendition of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott’s 19th-century novel chronicling the lives of four young women.

Foster was invited to play Jo March, the spunky aspiring writer and protective sister.

“She’s a fantastic role model for young people, I think—especially young girls,” Foster says of Jo. “In the 1860s, [Jo] didn’tjust want to have babies. [She wanted] to support her family and make a name for herself.... We see foster on page 3

Major labels look to co-opt indie feel

by Alex Frydman

recess This should be a catastrophic time for the music industry. Over the past few years, the popularity of file sharing programs, particularly illegal downloading services, coupled with expensive album prices have created a slump in CD sales. While major labels have struggled over the past few years as a result of these developments independent record labels have thrived. They have

boosted their sales and gained critical attention, largely from the exposure that file sharing services—the same programs that have hampered the majors—have provided.

Several factors could account for these financial differences. Major labels put more money into their releases than smaller independents. This money goes into everything from lavish advertising to over-the-top pro-

duction costs. Therefore, it takes greater

profits, or more copies sold, for a majorlabel release

to

break even.

Independent labels, meanwhile, have

taken advantage of the exposure that file sharing can give less popular artists. For instance, Go Kart Records, a Brooklynbased independent label, offered listeners the chance to download five releases for free from its website as well as offering a Downloading is Not a Crime compilation, which was co-sponsored by Kazaa.

“This was done in hopes that people would hear a song or two that they liked and purchase the CD or use that money to buy some merchandise or go to a show. It ended up being extremely successful for us, as so many people actually bought the albums because they supported what we see labels on page 3

Jimmy Tamborello of The Postal Service Special to The Chronicle

Well, not really, but for the frontman of the latest “it” band, The Killers, it sure seemed like that’s how he felt as the band played New York’s Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday.

In fact, the Vegas band is all about affectation right down to their faux-British singing vocals and lyrics like “we had a fight in the promenade out in the rain.” And the group itself exhibits more swagger (proof: Flowers’ Trump-like facial affectations and strut) than any other band today.

One might think that perhaps The Killers are overcompensating.

Indeed, with only 12 songs (10 on the album and 2 b-sides) to their name and stiff competition from sound-alike bands, who are creeping up everywhere, one senses the incredible pressure that these kids must be under. As fast as someone might say, “What ever happened to The Vines?”

Flowers and co. could disappear from MTV2. Incidentally, The Killers’ debut Hot Fuss also has only four completely-good songs on it.

From The Killers’ live performance, however, it seems like the band has six good songs, but they also have some thudding duds like the b-side “Indie Rock & Roll,” where Flowers sings “Indie rock and roll is what I need / It’s in my soul / It’s what I need.” So says the band signed to Island Def Jam Music Group.

The real problem of the night was that while the band played solidly enough, the song renditions sounded too close to the versions on the album. At that rate, Flowers might as well have lip-synched. The epitome of this treatment occurred on the band’s hit single, “Somebody Told Me,” which was prefaped by the lame “We’re going to play the hit” shout-out and was then sped through with nary an ounce of spirit. Flowers just killed it.

Every song can either sound exactly like a Depeche Mode track with a big Duran Duran influence or like a sexually-ambiguous ballad a la Franz Ferdinand, but in the end, the Killers have simply copped too many moves.

Indeed, the audience left the concert venue at 11:20 p.m. after a slim, 50-minute set wondering what the big deal was.

Where art and politics meet Doc studies exhibit celebrates freedom to vote Christine Schellack recess From the outside, the Center for Documentary Studies has the appearance of an old, comfortable Southern home. The white-washed exterior and big wooden porch, though reached only after a trek from East Campus, are welcoming to any visitor who wishes to venture into the center.

The current feature of the center, “Oh Freedom Over Me,” has been on display to the public since August 16th and will be running until November 7th. The exhibition documents the “Freedom Summer”—a slice of 1964 during the Civil Rights Movement when mostly white, middle-class youth from across the country came to the South to fight for their fellow Americans. Recognition of the by

importance of the voting privilege was the essence of both the volunteer movement and the Freedom Summer. During this time, Matt Herron organized a team of photographers to document history being made as the men traveled around Mississippi and photographed the young volunteers who came to aid local residents and help with voting registration.

Though the exhibit at the Center for Documentary Studies is small, what it lacks in quantity, it definitely manages to make up in quality. The bulk of the exhibition is housed in a single, yet open room with adequate space and lighting. The collection of “Oh Freedom Over Me” consists of multiple parts: the most prominent is the assortment of banners of prints that hang at different areas in the

election, the exhibit is particularly relevant. Such perfect timing was certainly not by chance: exhibition director Courtney Reid-Eaton planned the exhibit to run up until Election Day. The message that the exhibit sends to its viewers is strong and clear: there is no better way for people today to honor the work of the Freedom Summer volunteers than by voting. In hope of inspiring viewers to vote, the center also offers a multitude of resources for current voter registration in a room adjacent to the exhibit. This is clear: the Center for Documentary Studies does not intend for the exhibit to play the single role of a gallery; other follow up events included an Oct. 5 film screening and a panel discussion to be held Oct. 19th to discuss the struggle for

voting rights.

With a handout that one can pick up before entering the room, it is easy to navigate through the collection while reading the accompanying captions. Herron and his team make the exhibit a success by focusing on a single summer of the Civil Rights era instead of attempting to capture the entire movement.

Universal Music Group is also in the process of launching a similar project with a planned independent distribution company, Fontana.

KICKIN' INTO HIGH GEAR Balance proves key for Duke by

Maxi Moehlmann THE CHRONICLE

Freshman duo drives offense Dan Kapnick THE CHRONICLE

by

Freshman Spencer Wadsworth seems to only have one speed: fast. Whether streaking toward the net to poke in a goal or challenging the opposing defense with suffocating pressure, Wadsworth has established himself as an integral part of the Blue Devils’ team in only his first 11 games.

The forward, who has been described simply as feisty, draws comparisons to a popular media icon.

“He is like the Energizer Bunny. He never stops working. He just keeps going and going and going until he collapses,” head coach John Rennie said.

While Wadsworth focuses on corralling the ball near the net, fellow freshman Michael Videira hangs back, quarterbacking the team from the midfield.

“Mike is tireless in the midfield passing,

Wadsworth and Videira catapult Blue Devils to undefeated start distributing and defending,” senior coJoe Kelly said. ”He’s probably one of the best two-way players I’ve ever seen.”

In a year when team dynamics are being redefined by 10 freshmen, Wadsworth and Videira have quickly adjusted to their roles.

“Spencer is a wild one. He’s one of those guys, and Mike is too, always cracking jokes in the locker room,” said Kelly of the camaraderie that has developed. “It’s

really good when you have the team chemistry that the freshmen feel comfortable being able to do that and integrate

themselves with the older guys.”

The two have formed a robust tandem that has helped elevate Duke from a sub.soo team in 2003 to a No. 4 national ranking and an untarnished record.

Wadsworth’s contributions are more visible, grabbing spectators’ eyes as he runs circles around confused defenders.

Using his speed to generate opportunities, he ranks second on the team with 26 shots. And as is characteristic of any great player, Wadsworth performs his best when the lights were shine their brightest. He tallied Duke’s lone goal in its victory over Clemson in the ACC opener and assisted on the winning goal against then-topSEE FRESHMAN DUO ON PAGE 12

Danny Miller wears a pair of torn-up polar bear shorts to every game. Chris Loftus has not taken a razor to his beard since the end of August. These superstitious quirks are only a small part of the puzzle to understanding Duke’s phenomenal success so far this season.

Take the No. 2 recruiting class in the country, add it to a team that won six ofits final eight games last season, and what do you get? Simply put, the 2004 Duke men’s soccer team is undefeated through 11 games and ranked No. 4 in the NSCAA national coaches poll.

“If you had told me in August we would be 11-0, I probably would have said you were drunk,” senior Nigi Adogwa said after Duke slid by North Carolina Sunday in front of more than 6,000 screaming fans Koskinen Stadium.

“You need a group of very talented players who work extremely hard, it’s that simple,” head coach John Rennie said. “We have a good level of talent... but the ACC is full of talent. You add the work ethic and mentality that these kids have, and that’s why you have a very good team.”

Last year, the Blue Devils had talent as well and were picked during the preseason to have a good year. The 2003 team, however, finished 8-10-1, only 2-4 in the ACC. So what has changed?

“Most of sports is about the quality of the players. Character, work ethic and talent are what you need to be successful,” Rennie said. “This team is as well-balanced a team as I’ve had in a long time. From our goalies to our goal-scorers, this team has great balance.”

One major difference is the counterattack. With a solidified defensive unit, Duke is converting defensive stands into highpercentage scoring opportunities. Against North Carolina, the Blue Devils exercised the counterattack with efficiency. A pair of stops yielded goals for Adogwa as the Duke defense pushed the ball upfield quickly.

This type of chemistry is defining a reinvented Duke team. A squad that last year lost eight of nine games in the meat of its conference season has now outscored its opponents 36-5.

“We’ve got a completely different team than we’ve had in the past,” senior co-captain Justin Trowbridge said. “I think our work rate has been extremely good.”

Leading the charge and the change is a class of 10 freshmen, five of whom are in the starting lineup. On defense stimulating the counterattack is Tim Jepson, who SEE SEASON ON PAGE 10

The New York Yankees NEW YORK waited all season for that huge hit from Alex Rodriguez.

Boy, did he deliver just in time.

Rodriguez hit a tying double in the 12th inning, then Derek Jeter dashed home on Hideki Matsui’s sacrifice fly and the Yankees bailed out Mariano Rivera with another improbable postseason comeback, beating Minnesota 7-6 Wednesday night to even their series at a game apiece.

The Yankees responded with a championship-caliber rally after falling behind in the 12th on Torii Hunter’s home run.

Corey Koskie keyed an eighth-inning rally with a tying double against Rivera, who blew a save in the postseason for only the third time in 33 chances.

Game 3 in the best-of-five AL series will be Friday night at the Metrodome, with Kevin Brown starting for the Yankees against Carlos Silva.

Jeter, Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield homered earlier in the game, and it went to extra innings tied at 5. It stayed that way until Hunter connected on the 49th pitch from reliever Tanyon Sturtze, who had worked 2 2-3 hidess innings to that point.

But Joe Nathan was running out of gas, too. The Twins closer had made 43 straight appearances without going more than one inning, but manager Ron Gardenhire sent him out for a season-high third inning in hopes of finishing it.

After a strike, Nathan walked Miguel Cairo and Jeter on eight straight pitches with one out in the 12th, bringing up Rodriguez, who struggled in clutch situations for most of his first season with the Yankees.

He’s changing all that in October. ARod hit a ground-rule double to left-center on Nathan’s 49th pitch, tying the score at 6 with his fourth hit of the game. It gave him three RBIs in the game, and made him 6-for-10 in the series.

Sheffield was intentionally walked before J.C. Romero replaced Nathan.

With the outfield drawn-in, Matsui hit a liner directly at right fielder Jacque Jones that appeared to be too shallow to score Jeter from third.

But Jeter took off for the plate, and Jones’ throw didn’t have much on it. First baseman Matthew LeCroy, who entered as

Paul Quan trill got one out in the 12th for the win, retiring rookie Jason Kubel with two on.

Jeter led off with a long ball, and Sheffield and Rodriguez hit their first postseason homers in pinstripes to help the Yankees build a 5-3 lead after seven

innings.

The Twins tied it

at 5 in the eighth, however, rallying against Gordon and Rivera. Jones reached on a wild pitch after striking out, and Hunter singled.

That was as long as manager Joe Torre could wait to go to Rivera, who had been 12-for-12 in postseason save chances at Yankee Stadium. But he gave up a bloop

RBI single to Justin Momeau, cutting it to 5-4 and leaving runners at the comers.

Koskie then came through with an outstanding at-bat, fighting his way back from an 0-2 count. Choking way up on the handle just like Diamondbacks slugger Luis Gonzalez did against Rivera in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, Koskie sliced a 3-2 pitch into the left-field comer for a double, tying the score at 5.

Koskie’s ball bounced into the stands, perhaps costing the Twins the go-ahead run, Pinch-runner Luis Rivas was running on the pitch.

Rivera recovered to strike out Kubel and retire Cristian Guzman on a comebacker, stranding the potential go-ahead run at third.

“We get along really well,” star freshman Michael Videira said. “Everyone hangs out together as a team... everyone does their part in encouraging the team.”

Well aware of last year’s struggles even though he was still in high school, Videira understands the vast improvements in this year’s team. “On defense, we’ve been communicating a lot, we’ve only given up five goals,” Videira said.

The team still has seven games to talk their way through before the ACC Tournament in mid November. Four of the remaining seven will be conference contests, including a matchup with No. 10 Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. Although Duke has handled the pressure of playing the No. 1 team on the road and sparing with an arch rival in a packed Koskinen stadium, the stakes will only rise heading toward the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. This young team has already put memories of last year behind it.

down passing lanes and win the balls in the of the field. Essentially, a defensively sound forward like Wadsworth splits the field in half, forcing the opposition to one side, where his teammates are waiting to pounce and begin the counterattack.

“What I do is run as fast as I can for as long as I can, score goals when I can, set people up when I can,” Wadsworth said.

Videira and Wadsworth are not the only rookies making an impact for the Blue Devils. They are part of the secondbest recruiting class in the nation, Duke’s best in years.

‘We start five freshmen,” Rennie said.

‘They have a tremendous attitude about working hard, fighting hard and playing to win. I think it’s that blue-collar work approach to getting the job done that enables them to showcase their skills. They work very hard.”

So far this season, freshmen have accounted for 58 of 121 starts, forcing seniors to the bench.

“As a recruidng class, I don’t think we felt pressure,” Wadsworth said. “I think we felt that we had to play well because if we didn’t play well we wouldn’t be on the field. There’s not one bad player on our team. Every player goes out every day as hard as they can.”

Despite their individual accomplishments, both Videira and Wadsworth make it clear that the team’s success is always the first priority. Individual statistics do not hold any meaning if they are part of a losing season.

“I just want to have a better record than last year,” Wadsworth said. ‘We want to win the national championship, but we have to think small before we think big.

We have to win one game at a time and do the best we can.”

Duke is well on its way to Wadsworth’s first goal, and the second is looking less far-fetched each game.

We just want to win,” Videira said.

ranked Maryland. He also notched an assist in Duke’s dramatic victory over North Carolina Sunday night.

Although Wadsworth gets most of the acclaim, Videira is the engine that powers a Duke offense, which has scored more than twice as many goals as it had at the same point last season. The team’s assist leader, Videira, is unusually patient and collected for a freshman, acting as an outlet for the defense while creating opportunities for the forwards.

Videira is no stranger to this level of competition, and a result of his extensive international experience. Before putting on a Blue Devil jersey, Videira had already competed against some of the best young players in the world as a member of the U.S. Under-14, Under-18 and Under-20 national teams. And since arriving at Duke, he stepped into a leading role, starting all 11 games and clocking the 916 minutes, the second-most on the team. Like Wadsworth, he has performed when it has counted. He scored the first goal in the Blue Devils’ victory over Maryland and made a key defensive stop in the closing minutes against the Tar Heels.

Wadsworth and Videira always have an eye on the opposing goal, but their sustained effort without the ball is paying dividends defensively. The players and coaches said Duke’s team defense is a significant reason for the drastic turnaround from a year ago.

When the other team gets the ball, Wadsworth is usually the first line of defense that opposing fullbacks must contend with. Even when he does not win the ball outright, Wadsworth at least rushes the opposition into making quick, often faulty, decisions. When Wadsworth can limit a defender’s options, he enables Videira and the other midfielders close

Duke’s dirty laundry

Fortunately, Durham County had the social conscience to his inauguration speech, President Richard Brodhead rescind its contract with Angelica in lieu ofits violation of the told us why he came to Duke: “I was lured here by the spectacle of a school that has established itself in the top rank Durham County living wage ordinance as well as Angelica's shady record on worker rights. If a company's practices are of research universities and professional schools but that habitually connects the pursuit ofknowledge with the search for unacceptable for Durham County, why are they acceptable for the social good.” I was lured here for the same reason—as a Duke University?

In the mean time, workers at the Angelica plant are asking high school student I was just as impressed by Duke's #1 camus to help them defend their rights.

Whats Darfur?

In

1997, a French movie called La Maine {Hate) about the lives of three young men in a Parisian housing project was released. It begins with a dramatic sequence of a Molotov cocktail falling slowly toward the earth while a creepy French voice-over tells an old joke. “A man is falling from a fifty story building” the voice says, “and after each floor he passes he says to himself ‘so far, so g00d... so far, so good.’” The point being that it's not the fall that matters, but how you land. It’s where my tagline comes from, so there, now you know.

Right, then—show of hands: Who here knows what’s happening in Darfur, Sudan? I’m pretty sure someone wrote a guest column a couple weeks ago entitled something like “Act on Sudan,” I didn’tread it.

I think there was also some kind ofrally—l saw a sign for it when I was e-printing—but I didn’t go. Know why? Because, honestly, I didn’t care. But now I guess it’s got me thinking about why.

Some “facts:” A lot of folks in Sudan are about to starve to death. Other folks from Sudan are the cause.

There’s a militia called the Janjaweed, employed by the country’s leadership, that concurrendy forces people from their homes, burns their villages, and then ‘maintains at order’ their refugee camps. At least that’s what I got from about a half aaron kirschevifeld hour of Google rex so far, so good search. Clearly, I’m not too well-informed Darfur might be on The Nightly News, well, nightly, but I don’t know since I don’t watch the news.

There might people on campus right now organizing teach-ins and panel discussions, and yet I haven’t seen ’em. Besides, who goes to teach-ins or panel discussions anyway? I’ve got better things to do like study the history of the Civil Rights Movement or play free cell. But seriously, we’ve all got papers due or friends to see, pardes to go to and other stuff to do while taking advantage of all of Duke’s wonderful opportunities for college life. Who has time to care about folks a million miles away? Besides, I think there have only been about 50,000 of themkilled so far.

I’m not too concerned with the numbers, though.

I'll leave it for someone else to worry about. I’m here to give my opinion, and that I will do now: I think the world should justforget about feigning interest in preventing genocide unless we intend to do something about it.

First of all, nothing ever happens until it’s too late.

After the U.N. and the U.S. finally agree that the situation can be classified as “genocide,” (which in the case of Darfur may have happened already), the process is underway and people have been killed. It’s ludicrous how our leaders spend their time defining a situation while it’s still preventable and then decide to act only when it’s a full-blown problem. Genocide or not, genocide or not... hmm... well, so far, so g00d... so far, so good.

If, as human beings, we actually cared that a group of us, whether they’re of a different race, religion or ethnic group or not, was getting slaughtered en masse, we would do something about it. After saying “never again” in the Holocaust’s wake, we’ve managed to prove ourselves wrong again and again. Was there ever popular support to put a stop to the Nazi extermination of the disabled’, the Roma (or Gypsies), the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Catholics and the Jews? Probably not, unless it came from those groups themselves. We, being the allied nations, put an end to the Holocaust because we had a war to win, not in the interest of the targeted groups.

So now it’s here. The body count rises and we stand idly by. Perhaps instead of admitting we don’t care about genocide we could launch a pre-emptive war against it. It makes as much sense, if not more, than the action in which we are currently involved. But that won’t happen. Our news will continue to stream past names of more far off people and places subject to human extermination. And like La Maine, we’re not worried about the fall.

So far, so good, right? .
