will no longer have the option of putting $4.85 toward a Marketplace lunch in place of a breakfast.

Ryan McCartney THE CHRONICLE

Returning sophomores reminiscing about life on East Campus may remember the good old days of last year, when they could turn their missed breakfasts into Marketplace lunches. At least for now, however, bleary-eyed freshmen will have no such luck. Last spring, Duke Dining Services and ARAMARK, Corp.—the company that manages the Marketplace —launched an eight-week “meal equivalency” program that brought much-desired flexibility to the pre-paid freshman meal plan. Under the program, freshmen who missed breakfast were able to use $4.85 toward buying a weekday lunch at the Marketplace. In its first few weeks, the program brought an additional 100 to 200 students to the East dining facility every afternoon. For members of the Class of2009, however, missed breakfasts will not be reimbursed, as administrators have decided

continue the program this fall. Fred Bissinger, resident director of ARAMARK said the experiment cost ARAMARK nearly $5,000, and Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said the program was too inconvenient for the freshmen who had to make the trek back to East in between classes to buy lunches at the Marketplace. But Wulforst said the meal equivalency program might resurface by the end of the year. He is also confident that last year’s program will prove valuable in shaping new dining plans. “The intent was to respond to student needs,” Wulforst said. “From my perspective, the experiment was worthwhile. We got a lot of good data out ofit.” The information gleaned from the experiment will be used to create the most accommodating meal plan for freshmen and dining services alike, Wulforst added. Bissinger and Wulforst are currently not to

NEW ORLEANS Announcing itself with shrieking, 145-mph winds, Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast just outside New Orleans on Monday, submerging entire neighborhoods up to their roofs, swamping Mississippi’s beachfront casinos and blowing out windows in hospitals, hotels and high-rises. For New Orleans—a dangerously vulnerable city because it sits mostly below sea level in a bowl-shaped depression —it was not the apocalyptic storm forecasters had feared. But it was plenty bad, in New Orleans and elsewhere along the coast, where scores of people had to be rescued from rooftops and attics as the floodwaters rose around them. At leastfive deaths were blamed on Katrina—three people killed by falling trees in Mississippi and two killed in a traffic accident in Alabama. And an untold number of Hurricane Katrina blew through New Orleans as a category four storm, ripping a hole in the Superdome. other people were feared dead in flooded neighborhoods, many of which could not be Louisiana Gov.

GPSC is the official organization that represents the post-undergraduate students enrolled in the University's Divinity School, Fuqua

School of Business, Graduate School, School of Law, School of Medicine, Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, School of Nursing and Pratt School of Engineering. Although the council has existed for years, it went through major revisions five years ago so that structural changes could be made.

CORRECTIONS In the Aug. 29 issue, it should have stated that the Campaign for Duke raised $774 million, increasing the University's endowment about 30 percent. In the Fall Sports Preview, Kirsten Bostrom's name was misspelled in the field hockey team preview.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council held an informal meeting Monday night on the Fuqua Terrace to discuss this fall’s schedule and upcoming events. After executive board members introduced themselves, representatives broke into committees to discuss future goals and initiatives. GPSC President William LeFew, a fourth-year applied mathematics doctoral student, stated three specific areas of focus for this year—expanding support offered by career services, researching new health insurance options and increasing communication between students and administration. LeFew said the first goal was particularly important for graduate and professional students as they enter jobs that are uncommon following their fields of study. Researching available health insurance options is necessary, LeFew said, because that will lower the financial burden for students. Insurance rates on average have risen 14 percent annually due to the rising cost ofhealth care, and GPSC plans to continue looking for ways to reduce this cost for students. The third area offocus for GPSC will be networking and creating liaisons between GPSC members and administrators. “We want to be able to live, play and work well with the administration and work well with the community,” LeFew said. A more broad goal for the General Assembly is to attract non-representative graduate and professional school students to meetings so alternative viewpoints are heard. “One of our main goals is to be able to involve more constituents in GPSC,” said GPSC Vice President Lettye Smith, a fourth-year student in the Divinity School. “We’ll do this by not allowing meetings just to be a place for representatives to gather but as a proactive environment where graduate and professional students can be empowered.”

GEBHARD/THE CHRONICLE

At its firstfall meeting, GPSC listed career services, health insurance options and communication as goals. GPSC representatives are returning from a retreat held last weekend in Beaufort, N.C. The retreat, organized mainly by Nathan Kundtz, a second-year graduate student in physics, was the first annual weekend event that will play a major factor in amplifying representative interest and involvement. “I think everyone had a wonderful time,” Kundtz said. “We were able to disseminate a lot of information before getting back to school, which will help GPSC have a great start to the year.” The trip was funded with the help of

the Office of Student Affairs and Graduate Student Affairs.

In other business: GPSC will vote on its budget and the allocation offunds to student groups for the upcoming year Sept. 12. Scott Smith, GPSC treasurer and second-year M.B.A. student, said that although GPSC intended for $29,000 to be given to student groups during the 2004-2005 school year, $2,000 of this was not spent and will be invested instead in social events for the upcoming year.

Amid the chatter of students telling tall tales of summers spent interning at corporations, participating in study abroad programs or partying the nights \ away, there is a stuo dent did something out of the ordinary that “started almost on a whim.” Spurred by interests in volunteer and documentary work, junior Brian Wright dedicated several weeks from May through July to living with nomads in Mongolia and filming AIDS patients in China. His adventures, Wright said, made his summer more unique than most. It all started May 10, when Wright and 12 other members of the Students of the World team —a group of students that conducts research-based documentary work in various parts of the world each summer—flew to Beijing, China to film and document the stories of HIV/AIDS victims. There they discovered how shortcomings in the health system contributed to the spread of the disease. “China has opened up a whole lot about public health since the SAKS thing,” Wright noted. “But there are some ugly spots in the past, like mess-ups with blood-selling.” In one case, impoverished peasants in Henan province were encouraged to sell their blood to a government-affiliated organization that then mixed all the samples together by type and used it as needed, without properly screening for PHOTOS COURTESY

The picture was last seen at 1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19 and was discovered missing the following Sunday at 2:30 p.m. This robbery marks the second occurrence a portrait of the President has been stolen from the Army ROTC area in the past few months. Spree of vehicle break-ins hits campus Break-ins to three vehicles—a Lexus, a Pontiac and a Cadillac—occurred Aug. 14, according to police reports. The first break-in was reported early in the morning by a visitor who parked in a dirt lot off Cameron Boulevard. A passenger window on the Lexus was damaged, and a North Carolina driver’s license and clothes were stolen. The next break-in was reported a short time later near the location of the first incident. A passenger door window on the Pontiac was broken to gain entry, and a cell phone and keys were taken. The last break-in was reported later that day in the Washington Duke Inn parking lot. A window was broken on the Cadillac to gain entry, but nothing appeared to be missing.

Gadgets reported missing from dorm room A student reported an MP3 player and Palm Pilot stolen Aug. 14 from his residence hall room. The student told police he left the property in a bag in his locked Keohane Quadrangle room on Aug. 7. When he returned the following Sunday, he found his room unlocked, and the property missing.

TENTING from page 1 fered for the first time last year and provides more structure to pre-semester tenting, also has an uncertain future. The DSG tenting committee will hold an open forum Sept. 6 in the Bryan Center to discuss various K-ville issues, including the potentially negative impact ofblack tenting on students’ academics and health. The time period allotted for tenting stands to be significandy shortened, with the possibility of black tenting being eliminated entirely. “The more stringent policy for black tenting was supposed to create a situation where students did not feel obligated to get out there as early,” DSG President and senior Jesse Longoria explained. But more students than ever began camping early, causing a backlash of concern from the administration. “University officials would like to shorten the length of tenting,” Longoria noted, citing general concerns related to tenters prolonged exposure to “ths elements” and students losing sight of academic responsibilities while living in K-ville. Piling mounds of trash and other debris were also a problem for last year’s tenters. Though no final plans have been established yet, Troyer is looking to resolve the situation by offering grace—which allows students to leave their tents—to tenters who pick up litter throughout K-Ville. In addition, tenters may potentially earn one night’s grace by having eight out of twelve tent members attend women’s basketball games. With this incentive, the tenting committee hopes to raise attendance for events other than men’s basketball games throughout the spring season.

Under the new plan, freshmen who miss breakfast on East would be allotted money for lunches in the Great Hall. “My goal is to make the program for first-year students as flexible and as varied as it can be without compromising the expenses of running that East Campus operation or compromising jobs in the process,” Wulforst said.

located next to the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy on West Campus, officially opened Monday. The facility doubles the office space for Sanford faculty and staff.It also houses numerous seminar and meeting rooms as well as spaces for classes to meet and the Susan B. King Multimedia and Instructional Technology Center. Construction ofRubenstein Hall began in March 2004 and was completed on schedule this month. It will be linked to Sanford with walkways and lawns, creating a campus within a campus. Even with potential dining changes in sight, many students who took advantage of the meal equivalency program last year were perplexed by the decision to discontinue it. “I think that the program at the end of last year was a great way to strike a balance between meal plan and food points,” sophomore Drew Rindner said. “It doesn’t make sense. Everyone was pleased with the meal plan at the end of last year.” And though freshmen are just sinking their teeth into the dining plan—which started operating last week—many said they would not mind adjustments like a meal equivalency program.

Freshman Libby Jenke said she is happy with the curmeal plan but would appreciate more options in the future. “I think it would be helpful to have a little bit more variety like the upperclassmen,” she said. Wulforst hopes continued experiments similar to the meal equivalency program will facilitate an expansion of dining options for all students. “We’re not done with the experiment yet,” he said. “We want to be able to mold a program that meets the sleeping needs of the students, the dining needs of the students and the academic needs of the students.” rent

HIV. Within a few years, up to a quarter of the population of some villages in the region were infected with the virus. Wright and his teammates spent weeks struggling against the Chinese bureaucracy to get access to the region, hopingthrough film —to tell the story of the people living there. Finally, with only a few days left in the country, four members of the team succeeded in visiting the area. “We met with the head of the village and with the village council. We thought they wouldn’t want to talk about the situation,” Wright explained. “But they sat us down and said they wanted to discuss it. They wanted people to know about it. They told us to take pictures.” Safety was often a concern for the team, Wright added. They were sometimes warned that they “needed to suddenly disappear” to avoid trouble with government officials. Still, they continued working to give the villagers an outlet to tell their story. At the end of May, the SOW team dispersed to different posts across the globe, and Wright went to live with Mongolian nomads, who he was able to reach through Duke’s Career Center. “It was unorganized enough for it to be my experiences, my adventure,” he recalled. During Wright’s time in Naadam—a town in Mongolia—he focused on capturing the everyday lives of the family members and their neighbors, who lived in animal hide tents and only kept the belongings they could pack up and move in a single day. One of his goals was,

Wright said,

contrast be-

tween the nomadic lifestyle and that of the

average Duke student. “I lived there for three weeks, completealone with a family in the desert,” he rely called. “They had, like, 120 goats, 60-odd sheep and dozens of camels. For most people, they go on vacation, they see how local people live for maybe a few hours and then they leave. I actually got to live with them.” Despite the relative poverty of Wright’s host family and a fairly significant language barrier—he communicated by learning basic words, using a phrasebook and making “lots of pictures in the sand” the people he met were almost always open and hospitable, Wright said. “I would say that the Mongolians are some of the happiest people out there,” he noted. “They visit each other. You sit and you chat. If you’re tired, you just lie down on the floor and sleep. They make social occasions out of everyday things.” Wright attributed the relaxed and welcoming environment in part to the physically and economically demanding lifestyle the nomads face. “People aren’t competing for re—

sources; they’re banding together to keep

it alive,” he said. “Anytime you see a gur [a traditional Mongolian house] you stop and chat. You get the same reception no matter how well you know the person.” In mid-July, Wright rounded out his adventure with a week-long hitchhiking trek back to Beijing and a 13-hour plane flight to North America. Though he may be back to the normal routine at Duke as the semester gets underway, Wright said his memories of the summer will last a lifetime.

Professor Roberto Dainotto IT 160S .01 CCI,CZ,FL 3041 Allen MW 2:50-4:05 Italian national identity has historically been beset by a persistent difficulty in putting together an industrialized and “modem” North with a largely agrarian, more “traditional” South. Settentrionali and Meridionali have insisted more on their differences than on their alleged unity and commonality. This sense of difference persists today, in an era of domestic upheaval and uncertainty, and of international global changes. In this situation, the difference between North and South has engendered the further question of belonging: Does Italy belong in Europe, or in the Mediterranean? This course will introduce the players in this historical process: the meridionalista movement in the South, the Leghe in the North, and the secessionist movements from both North and South.

end Phillip Alexander. “Camp is a real grueling thing because you get aches and bruises,” said Alexander, who missed nine games with a fractured leg last season. “I was just taking it on with the feeling that I was getting closer to playing a real game against a different team.” Alexander’s payoff comes Saturday, however, when a month ofmeticulous preparation culminates when the Blue Devils open their season against East Carolina. “This would be a real exercise in mental toughness if you practiced football for two and a half hours a day for a month and then didn’t get to play in a game, had nothing to look forward to but another practice,” head coach Ted Roof said Monday at his weekly press conference. “At least there’s a light at the end of the tunnel now. All these things that we’ve been telling them, now they see that yeah, there is something out there.” Yet after a 2-9 season, the Blue Devils still have miles to go before they can sprout aspirations for their first bowl since 1994. “There are probably about 118 other Division I coaches today talking about how excited they are about the season and how much improvement they’ve made and all that kind of stuff,” Roof said. ‘You feel good about it but at the same time you want to see it. The proof is still in the pudding, and you’ve got to perform on game day.” Duke, enters the game as young as it

Duke alum Capuano loving life in big leagues by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

Ever wonder what life would be like pitching in the major leagues? According to Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chris Capuano, who graduated from Duke in 2000, it does not require much imagination. “My life really hasn’t changed a whole lot since college,” Capuano said. “This is kind of like being in a fraternity. For a seven o’clock game I come to the park around two and I’m here until about 11, so you spend a lot of time with these guys—and you get to sleep-in most of the time. It’s a great way to make a living.” This season has been a breakout one for the southpaw with a degree in economics. Capuano is 14-9 with a 3.61 ERA, but lost his last outing Sunday night against the Adanta Braves, surrendering four earned runs in seven innings of work. In his best stretch of the season, from April 28th through June 3rd, Capuano went eight consecutive starts allowing three runs or fewer—quite a feat for a starter with eight career victories entering this year. Capuano is currendy ranked in the top 20 in wins, strikeouts and innings pitched for 2005, while also placing 28th among pitchers in ERA.

For Capuano, being in the zone is all about sim-

plicity. “When you’re pitching good, not much is going through your head,” Capuano said. “It seems really easy. You can’t imagine why you’d have any difficulties out there. It’s when you have a couple of bad games that you start thinking and the game gets a lot more complicated.” For Capuano, the key to making the jump from successful collegiate hurler to solid big league pitcher was expanding his repertoire. Coming out of college with an above-average fastball and slider, Capuano added a changeup while playing in the

Arizona Diamondbacks’ farm system. During the time he spent with the Single A club in South Bend, Ind., pitching coach Royal Clayton worked closely with Capuano. “He showed me the grip on how to throw the changeup, and we would play these games while I was pitching where I would call the pitches for an inning and then the next inning he’d call all the pitches,” Capuano said. “He’d call like three or four changeups in a row, and I’d be down 2-1 or 3-1 in the count, and he’s making me throw that changeup. He got me SEE CAPUANO ON PAGE 9

If I was the coach of the Duke football squad, I would have a hard time accepting the fact that the best freshman quarterback in the country decided to attend my school to play basketball Fortunately for the student body, the administration, the alumni and the fans, I am not the coach of the Duke football squad. That man is Ted Roof, and he is tempting us all to believe that our gridiron representatives might be getting back on the horse. There is reason to believe. Roof proves in his actions that he appears to have common sense, something predecessor

Carl Franks lacked. When Duke finished last in the Milky Way Galaxy in total offense last year, Roof brought in Maryland run-

gle play. This football team has solid returning players whose names

we recognize. Junior quarterback Mike Schneider has already started 18 games, the kind of experience that gives a signal-caller the kind of confidence he needs to throw the rock effectively. Cedric Dargan has proven he can pound it out of the backfield and Ronnie Elliott can pull it down out wide. Tight end Ben Patrick is one of the ACC’s best at his position, and fellow tight end Andy Roland knows how to reel it in when it counts for six. Freshman Marcus Jones, considered by many to be the sickest, purest athlete on the team, is going to make a name for himselfbefore SEE FORUM ON PAGE 10

At the start ofTed Roof's second full season as Duke's head coach, many fans of the Blue Devils believe the program is beginning to turn itself around.

readers respond I think the Duke football team will be more competitive with opponents, and I do believe Coach Roof has made and will continue to make progress with this football program. That being said, given the considerable strength of the ACC as a conference, it is unrealistic to believe this team will win with any consistency this year. But that does not mean the team won’t be better than last year. Ike Mbanefo Trinity ‘O6

Although the Blue Devils square off against a total of

seven bowl teams from a year ago, an experienced defense and a change at the offensive helm will yield positive results. In his second full season as head coach, Ted Roof has a core group of veterans on both sides of the ball that have a firm understanding of his “Blue Collar” philosophy.

ishing the year 6-8 in 17 starts Over each of his three seasons in the majors, and even during this year’s successful campaign, Capuano has found that certain hitters have always given him more trouble than the rest. “Well I did face Barry Bonds a few times,” Capuano said of one nemesis. “With him you try to make perfect pitches right on the corners, and if you walk him you don’t really care. It seems like every time you miss in the strike zone he hits a home run really hard somewhere. “And then the other guy I’d say is kind of random—you know every pitcher seems to have one guy who kind of gives him trouble. [That guy] is Mark Loretta of the Padres. He’s always hit the ball real well off of me for some reason.”

Senior Cedric Dargan expects Duke's depth at the running back position to lessen his load.

OPENER from page 7 departed senior Chris Dapolito and junior Curt Dukes siphon away his playing time, the redshirt junior appears firmly ensconced as the team’s starter entering the 2005 season. Despite learning his third offense in as many years, Schneider has prepared during the off season in a manner that will hopefully cut down on the mental mistakes that put him on the bench during

his freshman and sophomore campaigns. “He’s always had a good arm, and he’s decendy mobile, but the intangibles are what make a quarterback,” Roof said. “I’ve really seen Mike grow in those areas..,. When he gets hit in the side of the head and dusts himself off, or he throws an interception, what happens after that? That’s where I’ve seen Mike Schneider grow, and I have every reason to believe that we’ll see that when it happens during the course of the season.”

I was a health outreach intern with Carolina Family Health Centers in Wilson, N.C., and there were 29 other SAF interns doing outreach in health, legal aid, organizing and education in towns in North and South Carolina. One of my favorite things about the internship was that most of the other interns came from farmworker families, most of them originally from Mexico. During our orientation in June, my fellow students shared their stories: Juan crossed the border at age three and was so scared that he bit his mom’s arm hard enough to give her a permanent scar; Alicia gew up in a single room with her 10 brothers and sisters with no refrigerator, air conditioning or heat; Walter’s mom woke up at four every morning to prepare breakfast and lunch before heading out to work in the fields. Almost all of the interns from farmworker families expressed a desire to buy a car or house for their parents as soon as they could earn enough money. My friends’ deep gratefulness for their college education and their passion for giving back to the farmworker community humbled and inspired me. Before this summer I was largely unaware of the 400,000 migrant farmworkers in North Carolina who pick the cucumbers, sweet potatoes, apples and bell peppers we all eat. The workers live in small trailers or concrete buildings with group showers and unsanitary toilets. Their bosses, or “crewleaders,” usually drive them to Wal-Mart on Sundays to buy groceries, which the workers often have no place to store because growers are only required to provide one refrigerator per 27 workers. Growers are not required to provide mattresses for workers, and the regulations concerning numbers of toilets and showers are less stringent than they are for North Carolina jails. The worst part is that even the minimal regulations that exist are impossible to enforce with only four state inspectors covering thousands of camps. Sometimes at Duke it is easy to forget that our campus is not the real world. We often act as though it is the norm to be well-dressed, well-educated and high-achieving. We act as if people who don’t fit the mold should just try harder. The people I worked with in Wilson this summer were some of the most caring, sincere and humble people I have ever met, and it has been somewhat of an adjustment coming back into Duke culture where the goal is always to keep moving and get ahead. The SAF internship had a greater impact on me than I ever imagined it would. I encourage you to join the boycott of all Gallo wines (which are popular among college students since they’re cheap) because Gallo grape-pickers are underpaid and receive no health benefits. And even more, I encourage you just to remember the farmworkers—we eat their produce every day and drive past their camps on North Carolina’s highways, and maybe someday we will start treating them with the respect they deserve.

Regulations governing tailgating will be tightened for the upcoming football season, Duke Student Government President

Jesse Longoria, a senior, confirmed late Tuesday. After meeting with officials from the Office of Student Affairs, Longoria said he was “very confident” that the only option being considered by administrators is to end tailgating at the start of each game. Other regulations for the event should remain the same as those used last year, Longoria added. Although he noted that all details have not been ironed out, Longoria said the administration should confirm the new policy within the week. “The situation I described... will very likely be the situation that will occur this fall,” Longoria said. “Tailgating will end when the football game begins because you are out there to support the football team while enjoying the social outlet.” Longoria said it has not been fully decided how the administration plans to end an event usually marked by drunken revelry and outlandish costumes. “The policy will be more student-driven, with the support of

N.C. Senate votes in favor of lottery Gary Robertson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH North Carolina is set to become the final state on the East Coast to start a lottery after the lieutenant governor broke a Senate tie Tuesday, voting to create a game supporters have sought for more than 20 years. Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, the Senate’s presiding officer, sided with most of her Democratic colleagues when she broke the 24-24 tie. “I did what I thought was right,” Perdue said. Gov. Mike Easley is expected to sign the legislation creating the lottery, a

cause he has championed since his election in 2001. Polls have shown that most state residents want a lottery, but last week the game appeared to have once again died in the Legislature. The Senate left Raleigh unable to persuade one of the five Democrats and all 21 Republicans who opposed the lottery for weeks to switch sides. Senate leader Marc Basnight promised the chamber was done for the year and would not return.

But Basnight, a Democrat from coastal Dare County, changed his mind Friday. And with two Republican senators absent Tuesday, Democrats had the votes—with

Perdue’s help—to push through the lottery legislation. An April vote in the House was nearly as close, with the lottery passing by just two votes. The legislation will funnel an estimated $4OO million from the lottery annually to public school construction, college scholarships and Easley’s class-size reduction and preschool programs. The news raised the spirits of North Carolina residents who travel to surrounding states to play the lottery. Up to 10 percent of lottery revenues in Virginia come from players from the Tar Heel State. The amount is higher in South Carolina, which started its game in 2002.

U.N. announces assassination suspects by

Sam Ghattas

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The United Nations named four pro-Syrian generals and a former legislator as suspects Tuesday in the February assassinadon of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. This was the first major break in a crime that transformed Lebanon. U.N. investigators interrogated the men at a hilltop hotel overlooking Beirut after searching the generals’ homes. The Lebanese government, acting at the request of the U.N., detained three of the suspects; a fourth surrendered for questioning and a fifth returned from

Syria, promising to cooperate. The moves against such once-powerful generals and politicians—who had readily executed Syrian policy in Lebanon—would have been unthinkable a few months ago when the country and its government were still under Syrian control. But Syria’s troop withdrawal in April has turned the country’s power structure on its head. After Hariri’s assassination, Damascus ended its nearly three-decade domination of the country under intense domestic and international pressure. New parliamentary elections swept

anti-Syrian politicians into government. Tuesday’s startling developments, however, still could produce serious political fallout in the country, particularly by targeting the commander of the Presidential Guards Brigade, Brig. Gen. Mustafa Ham dan, who provides security for and is an associate of pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud, a bitter political foe of Hariri. Hamdan voluntarily appeared for questioning. Lahoud said the summonses were not praised Hamdan as “one of the best officers in the Lebanese army.” Besides Hamdan, the generals swept up arrests and

N.C. increases alcohol cap to 15 percent Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

Discriminating North Carolina drinkers will soon have a more diverse array ofbeverage choices at their disposal. The state Senate voted Aug. 3 to increase the limit on alcohol content for beer and other malt beverages sold in the state from six to 15 percent—an increase that allows for the sale ofbeers up to four times stronger than some currendy popular brands. Beers such as Budweiser and Miller, for instance, have an alcohol content ofaround 4.6 percent. Gov. Mike Easley signed House Bill 392 into law Aug. 13—joining North Carolina with 44 other states that no longer have a six percent alcohol cap.

The change is the culmination of the “Pop the Cap” campaign that began two years ago to help push the bill through the General Assembly. “It’s an inane law that’s a holdover from prohibition,” Sean Wilson, president and co-founder of the campaign, said of the old potency cap. “It limits a third of the world’s beer styles. Some people are into great food, some people are into great wine and there are some residents ofNorth Carolina that are also into really great specialty beer.” Prior to its passage, there was only modest opposition to the bill, due in part to the fact that some alcohol safety awareness organizations, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, took an officially

neutral stance on altering the cap Wilson noted that there is no statistical evidence that suggests the new law will pose a higher risk of underage drinking or drunk driving. “The data shows that states without a six percent cap have the same rate of drunk driving as those who do,” said Wilson, who graduated from the Fuqua School of Business and Terry Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy in 2000. Leanora Minai, senior public relations specialist forDuke University Police Department, did not express concern that the higher cap would increase underage drinking, noting that there are already hard

Bell Tower Dormitory may be the most talked-about addition to the University, but it is not the only change on East Campus this semester. The Pre-Major Advising Center has revamped its system of advisors for freshmen and now focuses on incorporating advising with residential life. Under the new system, which was developed within the Trinity College ofArts and Sciences, each of the 14freshman residence halls is paired with a cluster of advisors who are experts in their academic fields. Larger dorms, such as Randolph and Blackwell, have between 11 and 13 advisors while smaller residence halls average seven. Aycock and Epworth dormitories share a group ofadvisors. Though the concept of pairing a student with a single, primary advisor still exists under the reformed program, students are encouraged to meet with and get to know all the advisors in their cluster—a system administrators hope will promote student access to academic variety. “We tried as best we could to include as much diversity in all of the advising groups,” said Michele Rasmussen, director of PMAC and assistant dean of Trinity College. ‘You shouldn’trely on one person for everything, and bybeing part of an advising group, [students] can feel more confident about talking to other advisors.” PMAC also opened the year with two new assistant deans: Lynn White and Diane McKay. The assistant deans, together with PMAC Assistant Directors Donna Kostyu and Milton Blackmon, each support one of the four neighborhoods—groups of approximately four dorms that share a residence coordinator. They also aid the clusters of advisors and help brainstorm ideas for program-

Researchers debate ethics of blood study by

Victoria Weston THE CHRONICLE

After more than a year of delays, Duke University Hospital has joined several other trauma centers nationwide in testing PolyHeme, the first blood substitute to reach the clinical trial stage. But people could end up as subjects in the PolyHeme study of the without their knowledge. The substitute has shown promise in lab settings and could potendally be more effective than the saline and electrolyte solution typically used in ambulances. Due to its ability to transport oxygen —a characteristic of blood—PolyHeme may minimize the risk of multiple organ failure, a common cause of death in trauma patients. It also has a shelf life of about year; blood only lasts for up to 42 days and is universally compatible. For PolyHeme to become standard across the nation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires clinical testing to determine its safety and effectiveness—a process that began this summer after researchers obtained state and federal approval. In the testing, trauma victims being transported via Durham Emergency Medical Services can receive PolyHeme while in transit and during the first 12 hours spent at Duke Hospital. Survival rates will be compared to patients who receive a standard treatment. But several ethicists and medical professionals in the research community are expressing objections to the testing, noting that the study targets critically in-

Engineers Without Borders is a nongovernmental organization, mostly composed of engineers who work with disadvantaged communities to restore or implement measures for economic and structural support. Foster and her crew spent the better part of their summers planning the trip. Their main goal was to offset damage caused by both the tsunami and an earthquake that followed in Sumatra March 2005.

A subsequent earthquake in March 2005 rocked the Sumatran fault, worsening already unstable conditions. Foster’s typical day started off by waking on a tarp or wooden bench at the crack of sunrise. “I felt guilty if I woke up after six a.m, because the villagers were always ready,” she said.

“They basically had all the work and dedication they needed,” Foster said of the eager villagers. “They just needed resources and supplies to control the effects of flooding and protect their livelihoods.” Foster said she helped the villagers evaluate the different options available. For instance, in one village residents had proposed to build 500 “rock boxes” to prevent erosion. Foster’s crew, however, estimated that SEE ENGINEER ON PAGE 8

ming, which is one of the goals of the new system. Administrators project that programming will allow advising to transcend the academic realm and let student-advisor relationships blossom. “Everybody will have their own strengths, and we’ll try to develop programming around those strengths,” White said. Through programming, the groups of advisors will spend recreational time with their students in the dorms and in their neighborhoods. Events may include informal get-togethers, outings or group dinners at the Marketplace. All new advising programming will be funded by PMAC. “The feedback so far from advisors has been really positive,” Rasmussen said. “They like the idea [that] they’ve been attached to a dorm and they can help contribute to the identity of the dorm.” Students living in a particular neighborhood may also utilize the services of advisors in the neighborhood’s other dorms, if, for example, they need a question answered in a specific field. As opposed to each dorm's faculty-inresidence, who also serves as an advisor,

the cluster of advisors do not live in the dorms. They may, however, hold meetings in commons rooms or designated meeting areas when necessary. “I have faith in the people that are running the place, and I have an open mind about what they’re doing,” said Marcy Tide, adjunct assistant professor of history and a pre-major advisor. The new advising program also fits with the goals of Eddie Hull, director of Residence Life and Housing Services, another entity active in the reconfiguration of advising. Hull said he hopes for the formation of a residential program around the academic mission of the University. “I have an overriding commitment to having a residence hall be more than a place to sleep, party and keep stuff,” he told The Chronicle this summer. The new advising system is also not isolated to dorms on East, as the programming push extends beyond freshmen. Within the first few weeks of classes, sophomores who have not yet declared a major will have the opportunity to eat a catered dinner with their pre-major advisor in the Great Hall. “It’s yet another new thing to help bolster the idea of an advising community,” Rasmussen said. Even though Foster and crew helped improve hundreds oflives over the course of the program, it was the relationships she formed with the villagers that touched her life the most. “Even more precious than the the chance to implement skills in the field were the stories I heard,” Foster said. “It was truly inspiring to hear the tales of these people behind the optimistic smiles on their faces.”

The Blue Zone parking lot officially opens to tailgaters four hours before kickoff. Rumors about the future of tailgate have been widespread since former DSG President Pasha Majdi and former Interfraternity Council President Will Connolly, both Trinity ’O5, warned students in advance of the Oct. 2, 2004 tailgate for the Homecoming game against The Citadel that students should clean up their act or risk administrative intervention. “We want students to take action so the administration doesn’t get involved,” Connolly said at the time. After weeks of relatively calm events, at least two students were sent to the hospital

following a fight, and one student was arrested for possession ofcocaine at the Nov. 20, 2004 game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which was the last tailgate of the year.

Longoria said tailgating was almost cancelled outright after the events oflast year. “As far as I understand, the existence of tailgating was very, very tenuous,” he said Tuesday night “I consider it a victory in the feet that tailgating will occur. It may be slightly altered, but tailgating has not ended.” The first tailgate of the 2005 season will occur Sept. 10, when the football team will face Virginia Tech.

face-toface meetings.” Freshman Allison Scott admitted that over the summer, she checked the facebook as often as she checked her e-mail. “It made us a lot more secure before coming to college,” she said of the Class of 2009. “Having a lot of friends before coming to school makes you a lot more confident once you get here.” Scott arrived at Duke with close to 400 virtual friends “But once I got here, it was just too hard and too awkward to walk up to people and say, ‘I know you from the facebook,’” she said, adding that she has already started filtering out some of the students that she has not met, bringing her number offriends down to 228. “Since I got here, people that I’ve met at parties and stuff have friended me, and I think that’s how it should be,” she said. Since the launch of facebook.com, the site has grown to accommodate 3.7 million users in 832 colleges and universities around the world. Over the entire site, the average facebook user has roughly 50 friends at his or her own school. At Duke, however, the average number of facebook friends is 91.6, ranking the University as the 15th most social school on facebook.com. “It shows that people are continuing to use the site to mirror their real social world,” said Chris Hughes, spokesperson for facebook.com. Nonetheless, across campus—and on the virtual campus of facebook.com—animosity against the freshman class’s heavy use of the website has become apparent among some returning upperclassmen. Over the summer, freshman Bryan Stem and several of his friends from high school decided to plan toga parties at their respective colleges and publicize them through the facebook. Because the other schools did not have orientation weeks, the freshmen toga parties elsewhere—at schools like Florida State University—were successful, Stem said. At Duke, however, Stem and his “Duke University Toga Party Association” facebook groupwere met with a far different response. “I really don’t know at what point, or how, it blew up,” he said. Between his profiles on the Office of Undergraduate Admissions website and facebook.com, news of the toga party became widespread among the freshman class—and the rest ofDuke. “The freshmen got a misconception of the party,” Stem said. “They thought it was going to be a big keggertype of party. The upperclassmen got that idea too, and that’s when the hate groups started.” Indeed, a search on the facebook site yields at least four groups condemning the abuse of facebook.com by the Class of 2009. And junior Janice Wilson started a group in response to Stem’s. “We just thought that they were getting the wrong idea about what they wanted to get out of college or what it was really going to be like,” she said of the freshmen in the group. However, many group members have since apologized to Stem, claiming that they directed their negative comments to him simply out of boredom rather than real hostility. “I think the way we think about it, there’s a pretty significant difference between short-term and long-term use for the facebook,” Hughes said. Hughes, a senior at Harvard, described long-term use as both a reference tool and away to stay connected with acquaintances and friends. “But in the short term, it will help the freshmen form connections with their peers,” he added. Hughes noted that this year, incoming freshmen at many universities eagerly jumped on the facebook bandwagon. Behind the scenes at the website, however, he said the facebook team is not concerned about increasing obsessions with the website. “We see from experience that networks worked out their own problems,” he said, “[facebook.com] does work as a social community so we don’t worry too much about things getting out of hand or inappropriate material.” Some students, however, said users should keep in mind that friends online are not necessarily friends on the quad, and groups are not necessarily tangible social units. “I think the facebook is an amazing tool you can really use it to connect to other people,” Stem said. “But it’s very misleading. Everyone who uses it should take it with a grain of salt. It’s not reality.”

POLYHEME from page 4 set of exceptions for studies in emergency medicine—a field that until a few years ago had been unable to advance as much as other areas of medicine because of such rules, Nelson said. Allowing for a “waiver of consent” in certain situations has since allowed research studies to take place that previously would not have been possible. “At the root of this, you have the inherent tension between a situation where we all want to respect the rights and welfare of the public, but at the same time you have a potentially beneficial medical intervention that we really won’t know the benefits of until you can test it in a controlledresearch environment,” Nelson said. “There’s a narrow window of opportunity where an intervention like this could be tried. So that sets up this difficult circumstance.” Initially, the FDA, Durham County administrators and the Institutional Review Board of Duke University Medical Center approved the study. EMS workers began

2005 9

training, but the North Carolina Attorney General’s office hit the brakes on the study because state law differed from federal law and contained no exceptions to the rule of consent. The discrepancy between federal and state law was ultimately resolved in March 2005, when a state medical board agreed to permit a waiver of consent for emergency medicine studies under certain conditions. The temporary rule, which is iii the process of being approved permanently, requires studies to comply with FDA rules and notify the North Carolina medical care commission about the research, among other stipulations. JeffHorton, chiefof licensure and certification under the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, said he is satisfied with the legal changes. “If you look at the FDA criteria that Duke had to meet just to do the PolyHeme study, it’s pretty stringent,” he said. “I believe that if you have some kind of treatment that could yield lifesaving treatment down the road, it seems it would be valid to explore that as long as safeguards are instituted.”

Duhon aids devastated Slidell Relief fund formed for

Blue Devils, Patrick in fine ’form August 16, 2005 will go down in Duke lore as the day the football program finally turned itself around. Don’t feel bad if you missed what happened; pretty much everyone else did too. Or at least, I should say, pretty much everyone missed the gravity of the situation. On that fateful day, two things happened. First, Duke football unveiled new jerseys that ended a 12-year string of increasingly awful sartorial creations. Second, H-back Ben Patrick wore his new uniform number. In 1992, the last year of the Golden Years of the Duke Football Uniform Design, the Blue Devils wore a simple style. The home jerseys were blue with white numbers and two white stripes on each sleeve. The away jerseys were white with blue numbers and two blue stripes in the same place. The team wore white pants with two blue stripes and a white helmet with a blue stripe down the middle with the word “Duke” written in script on both sides. When Steve Spurrier led the Blue Devils to their only ACC Championship since 1962, these jerseys were worn. When Dave Brown passed for 479 yards—still a Duke record—in a win over North Carolina in 1989, he was wearing one of these jerseys. Unfortunately, 1993 was the beginning of a too-long stylistic slide. The sleeve stripes were inexplicably dropped in favor ofnumbers on the shoulder pads. Just one year later, Sept. 3, 1994, became a dark day in the annals of Duke SEE UNIFORMS ON PAGE 16

hurricane-hit hometown by

As the wind and rain from Hurricane Katrina pounded the gulf coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, many students watched on television as the rising water flooded houses and swept cars down streets that resembled rivers. Former Duke point guard Chris Duhon, a native of Slidell, La. decided to do something about it. The second-year Chicago Bulls guard formed the Chris Duhon Hurricane Relief Fund to deliver food, clothing and financial aid to his hometown and other affected areas. Fellow Duke alum Jay Williams, Charlotte Bobcats and former North Carolina Tar Heel Raymond Felton and the Houston Rockets’ Yin Baker immediately pledged their financial support, and NBA Players’ Association executive director Billy Hunter called Duhon to promise his help in encouraging other NBA players to donate to the fund. The Bulls also vowed to provide storage for some of the donated supplies until they could be delivered to the devastated areas. “I knew the hurricane was coming; the only question was how hard it was going to hit,” Duhon said. “I got feedback about what had happened, and I wanted to do something to help. I’ve always considered Slidell home.” Duhon will coordinate the delivery of the food and clothing collected as soon as possible to help in the immediateaftermath of the disaster. Monetary contributions will go toward rebuilding the homes, schools and community buildings destroyed. “Many towns are experiencing this devastation and have yet to determine what, if any, buildings will be saved,” Duhon said. Chris Duhon created a relief fund for his hometown of Slidell,La. after HurricaneKatrina tore through it.

When the football team opens its season at East Carolina this Saturday, three upperclassmen may be having freshman jitters. Malcolm Ruff, Patrick Bailey and Demetrius Warrick all agreed to switch their positions in the off-season, and the trio has been working during the preseason to adjust to their new roles. The Blue Devils already suffer from inexperience—head coach Ted Roof said as many as 18 true freshmen might see playing time in the team’s opener Saturday—and these three major position changes may make Duke even less prepared in one of the best college foot-

The sophomore goalie first anchored the team in a 7-0 win against Louisville to open the season. She then went on to shut out Michigan State S-0 in the final of the Champion’s tournament this past weekend in Louisville, Ky., tallying 14 saves over the two games. It is the first time the Blue Devils have started a season with consecutive shutouts since 1991. “[Williams] is not a freshman anymore,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “Now she is carrying the team a little bit. There’s a different sense of responsibility and with that comes confidence.” Williams comes into this season having played in four contests last year, accumulating a 3-1 record and registering a shutout in each of those wins. An injury to last year’s starting goalie Christy Morgan has allowed Williams to shine. After guiding her high school team to a 47-10-1 record and being honored as a two-time NFHCA All-American and threetime all-state player in New Hampshire, Williams became the top goalie recruit in the country, Bozman said. “Actually it came down to Duke and UNC.” Williams said. “The reason I chose Duke was because of the academic reputation and because of [Bozman].”

Williams also has had the honor of

being named to both the Ul9 and U2l National Teams, and was an alternate on the U2O team in 2003. Her credentials speak for themselves, and given the opportunity she has shined in the spodight. Both Bozman and Williams agree that her play has improved mosdy as a result of newfound confidence. Playing a year behind top-notch goalie Morgan has allowed the sophomore to learn instead of being thrown into a starting role without proper

experience.

“Caitlin has improved so much,” forward Katie Grant said. “She’s really just playing up to her potential this season.” The team looked to be in some trouble this off-season after All-American defender Gracie Sorbello graduated and Morgan injured her back. But the team has rallied around Williams. “I think Caitiin has done a great job back there,” Bozman said. “We’ve had to rebuild our defense a little bit. I think people thought we were going to have a weak defense, but we are actually really happy with where our defense is at now.” With Morgan back in pads for the first time at Tuesday’s practice the Blue Devils are in a great situation of having two topnotch goalies. Whether Williams or Morgan play in the goal, one thing is certain—the team will have a goalie it can depend on for the entire season.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VERNON, Conn. Connecticut point guard AJ. Price pleaded not guilty Tuesday to larceny charges stemming from the theft of laptop computers from an athletic dormitory.

Price, 19, and teammate Marcus Williams are accused of trying to sell four stolen laptops. Both have been suspended indefinitely from the basketball team. Williams, a junior point guard, applied earlier this month for a special form ofprobation for first-time offenders. If he is accepted and successfully completes the program, his criminal record would be erased. Price said nothing in court as his attorney, Michael Devlin, entered the not guilty plea on his behalf. He left the courthouse accompanied by his parents without talking to reporters. Price has been charged with three counts of felony larceny and with lying to police, a misdemeanor. Williams, 19, faces four counts of third-degree larceny and up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines. Price is due back in court on Sept. 27. Williams is due back in court Sept. 13. The laptops, worth about $ll,OOO, were stolen between June 9 and June 14. Williams and Price had been expected to shore up the UConn backcourt, which has been hurt by off-court problems.

There was a time NEW YORK Roger Federer felt guilty about running his opponent off the court in quick, laughably easy matches. He’s obviously gotten over it. “I had the feeling the guy deserves it more than I do. That’s a horrible feeling to have inside. No, that feeling is definitely gone. That’s good,” Federer said after needing only 61 minutes to breeze through a 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Ivo Minar at the U.S. Open on Tuesday. Federer has finally accepted what Andre Agassi has long known. ‘You don’t cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is,” Agassi said Monday night after his straight-set, 69minute rout ofanother Open newcomer, Romanian Razvan Sabau. Federer has been untouchable the last two seasons, the best run since Pete Sampras reigned. He’s been No. 1 since Feb. 2, 2004, and has won four of the last seven Grand Slam titles, including his third straight Wimbledon crown this year. If he defends his tide here, he’d be the first man in the Open era to win both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in consecutive years. And from the looks of his match against Minar, he’s got a good shot. He was up 5-0 in the first set before Minar, a Czech making his Open debut, won his first game. He had 12 aces, clocking as high as 129 mph on the radar gun. He had 34 winners to Minar’s 12, and had only 10 unforced errors. Minar’s best hope came from the dark

The Blue Devils have redesigned their uniforms several times over the past 15 years.The 1990 jerseys(left) were plain, the 2003 uniforms incorporated black pants and in 2004 the team wore new helmets.

UNIFORMS from page 11 Football. Not because the Blue Devils lost—they didn’t—but because that day the color black became part ofDuke’s football uniforms. The helmets were changed from white to blue, lost their stripe, and the color of the script “Duke” was changed to (gasp!), black. From that day forth, the black only spread. In 1999, a black stripe was added to both the white and blue pants. In 2000, the jerseys, both home and away, gained black collars. In 2003, Duke’s Nike-designed blue home uniforms included impossibleto-see black numbers, black collars and vertical black panels under players’ armpits that crept up around toward the neck. And the piece de resistance? Horrendous black pants. It was a fashion crime.

The black pants were dropped last year, as well as the black and blue helmet, but the black underarm panels and the collarcreeping stripes remained. Finally, the gendemen and ladies at Nike decided that enough was enough. Duke Football might have been a Joke for a decade, but its uniforms would be respectable. And on August 16, 2005, the Blue Devils unveiled a sensible design; blue jerseys with white numbers at home, white Jerseys with blue numbers on the road and plain, white or blue pants with the Duke logo to go with both designs. And across the front, “Duke” in block print-because how can you play for the name on the front ofyour Jersey if it isn’t there? It’s simple, yet elegant and powerful. And while we’re on the subject of simple, elegant and powerful, consider the statement Patrick made by switching numbers

from No. 83 to No. 8. No. 83 is a tight end, a blocker who sometimes catches passes. He has good hands, gets to the first -down marker on important third downs and generally provides a big target for his quarterback. But No. 8 is something different. No. 8 is a star, and he wants you to know it; that’s why he chose No. 8 in the first place (even if he didn’t think about it at the time). Which position he plays is not important because he will get the ball in his hands and he will make plays. He not only catches the ball over the middle but catches the ball, sheds a couple of tackles and runs with astonishing speed for such a large man for 30, 40 or 50 yards. In college football, where players can choose whatever number they desire, the best players wear numbers in the single digits or teens. Deion Sanders wore No. 2 at Florida State.

Williams? Both wore No. 1 at USC. Reggie Bush wears No. 5 for Southern Cal and UCLA’s Mercedes Lewis, the consensus top tight end in the nation, wears No. 19. Patrick, who is nominated for the Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end, made the statement that he is ready to be that guy. And the Blue Devils, by switching uniforms, showed that they’re ready to be a legitimate football team. In the AP Preseason Top 25, only Miami and Cal had uniforms with the strange swoops and markings that characterized Duke’s old duds. Good college football teams wear simple, elegant uniforms, and great college football players wear low numbers. The old sporting cliche goes, “When you look good, you play good.” If the adage holds true, Patrick and the Blue Devils are on their way to greatness.

DUHON from page 11 “We have to do something to help ease this burden.” Though Duhon has heard from many ofhis family and friends, that they had escaped the hurricane unscathed, much of their property—including a house that Duhon’s family owns in Slidell—had been damaged or destroyed. “It’s tough,” Duhon said. “My high school coach and a lot of my friends I grew up with—even our house that my aunt lives in is completely underwater—everyone is going back home to nothing.” After Duhon decided to start the fund, his friends around the league called and pledged their support. Duhon knows Williams from their years together at Duke, and he shares an agent with former North Carolina guard Felton and an accountant with Baker. As for what he will give to the fund himself, Duhon said he did not yet know, but he vowed his contribution would be sizable. “I’m definitely going to give money; I’m definitely going to give clothes, and I’m definitely going to give food,” Duhon said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to help.”

French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne advanced easily with a 63, 6-0 romp over Zuzana Ondraskova of the Czech Republic, while third-seeded Amelie Mauresmo made easy work of Italy’s Roberta Vinci, 6-3, 6-2. Sixth-seeded Elena Dementieva, a finalist here last year, and 2004 French Open champ Anastasia Myskina also advanced. Three-time French Open winner Gustavo Kuerten advanced to the second round for the first time since 2002, beating American Paul Goldstein 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-6 (3).

match finally ended, Djokovic gripped the net with both hands and leaned over, utterly spent. Tim Henman was the day’s first upset, losing 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 to Fernando Verdasco of Spain. But most of the seeded players advanced without trouble. Americans Lindsay Davenport and birthday boy Andy Roddick were the highlights in the night matches. Roddick, the 2003 winner, turned 23 Tuesday. Federer had played Minar twice before this season, including a second-round match at Wimbledon, but the familiarity didn’t help the 21-year-old Czech. Federer is unbeaten on hard court since losing to Marat Safin in the semifinals at the Australian Open, and that wasn’t going to change Tuesday. Federer mixed his shots with dizzying finesse throughout the match, looking as if he was in a practice session as he ran through his repertoire. His location was impressive, with crosscourt shots landing just beyond Minar’s reach or squarely on a line.

The wave of programs trumpeting the use of sound started last year with the iPod giveaway and subsequent integration into dozens of classes. This year, the University has formed a partnership with Public staffeditoriai Radio International to distribute its programming to professors who would like to use it in class. As the Duke Digital Initiative—which began this year to promote classroom technology—fosters programs, expect ontent to become a more regular part of

decades, universities have been dependent on books. They judge each other by the size of their libraries and the extent of their collections. Duke currently boasts about 5 million volumes, a total that puts its library among the top 10 private research libraries.

often focus on teaching students to read textual material and to think critically about things that are written. Music, speech and radio content are often neglected. Duke’s efforts to force cridcal thinking about audio by making it an ever-present part of the curriculum is an unusual move—but one that should have been obvious. The more novel part of this new partnership is the way Duke has banded with a company, albeit a non-profit, to find ways to educationally use its product. In exchange for PRI offering the content of three radio programs free of charge, the University is faced with the task of figuring out how to make use of that information educationally and to share its solutions. In a way, this is an exchange of a product for labor.But the labor Duke is providing is exactly what Universities are supposed to provide: methods of education.

Citizen of the world

lam

just coming to realize how small the world actually is. Less than one week after returning from my first trip to Europe, I had the pleasure of helping during international student orientation with International House. Before traveling, I didn’t realize how different cultures can be and how difficult it can be to adjust or even to return to your hotel when you in don’t understand the public transportation or speak the language. Language barriers can make the simple task of purchasing a needed item heather dean difficult. This came up the other half more than once in a twoweek trip to Europe, which has languages and cultures similar to those in the United States. I can only imagine the difficulties in adjusting to culture in which I were a minority in terms of race, beliefs or values. When a trip abroad lasts two to six (or more) years and includes adjusting to graduate or professional school as well, I would be surprised if acclimating weren’t intimidating. Dealing with classes, term papers and research deadlines is enough to make many domestic students re-think the decision to pursue a higher degree—even without the added pressures of communication issues and moving far from family and friends. For all that, immersing yourself in a new culture has to be a rich, wonderful and worthwhile experience. I am envious of those who have taken the leap. More than 1,100 graduate and professional students last year were international, representing a significant proportion of the approximately 6,000 of us. There is so much to learn when abroad, from understanding the currency How much am I REALLY paying for this necklace?—to becoming comfortable with new customary ways of greeting a friend— handshake? hug? one kiss? two kisses? We Americans don’t always consider how our behavior could confuse others. For example, before the I-House orientation, I never thought about how using the casual “How are you?” as a greeting without stopping for a reply might seem rude to others. I grew up encouraged to speak up and share my opinions, but to many people, speaking up without being asked can seem rude and intimidating. Americans tend to want to know about others, but many questions can come across as odd or even insulting. No one can learn all of cultural do’s and don’ts from around the world, but it certainly does pay to be aware of some of the more obvious, especially as the world grows ever smaller with improvements in transportation and communication. There is much that domestic students can do to help their international colleagues feel comfortable. Most Americans are genuinely interested in learning about and helping others. Reaching out to international students is well worth the time it takes. Not only will you make a big difference for those students, but you haw the opportunity to learn about people and places that will enrich your life simply through your knowledge of them. Find out about and attend the cultural events on campus. For Americans who have not traveled, the experience of being among the minority in terms of racial identity or language or culture can be quite educational. These interactions, however, are a two-way street. International students shouldreach out to the students around them for help, mentoring and friendship. Know that speaking up in class or lab is not only acceptable but encouraged. Most domestic students are happy to help, and they too will benefit from the experience. After all, in nearly all professions today, we will need to work closely with people from around the world, and those without experience with other cultures will be at a disadvantage. Understand that questions that seem intrusive are almost certainly motivated by curiosity, not malice. Many students are willing to change behaviors that are offensive to others if they are made aware of them, so don’t be afraid to speak up when something bothers you. Finally, be willing to get involved in organizations at Duke. Students are expected to join in without invitations, so don’t wait. International students enrich their own experiences and ours as domestic students when they attend graduate or professional school in the United States. Hopefully, whether international or domestic, you will take advantage of the opportunity you have to leant about the world right here at Duke. —

letterstotheeditor Someday Durham may be home

Jimmy Soni (“Welcome to Durham” August 26, 2005) makes some excellent points about the history of Durham, but the references to “frustration, pity, and fear” of Durham concern me. Current Duke students should keep in mind that Durham is called home by a wide variety of people including many alumni, like myself. As in any large city, there are parts that have been harder hit by economic realities, but that shouldn’t be generalized to the entire city. The Triangle is often called one of the best places to live in the United States {Money Magazine called it the best in 2000). Please .try and take advantage of opportunities you get to really explore the area and not just where you can walk to. You might just decide to call it home yourself someday. Chris Wilson Pratt ’94

Repeal the 21-year-old drinking age The alcohol “problems” at Duke

and other universities are the direct result of a bad law that ought to be changed. It is natural for young adults in the 18 to 21 age bracket to explore adult lifestyle options, including alcohol. It is important that these young adults drink moderately and responsibly, or not at all—just as it is for adults of all ages. But they cannot demonstrate this responsibility for moderation while the minimum drinking age is 21. These young adults, who are held accountable for voting, serving in the armed forces, social behavior (including capital crimes) and many other issues, do not have the legal right to decide how much, if any, alcohol to consume. The “21 Law” was adopted in all states during the 1980s under pressure from the Ronald Reagan administration. This law is short-sighted and creates far more problems than it solves. The minimal drinking age should be lowered to 18, and many knowledgeable people, including distinguished university presi-

Bye Bye

dents, share this opinion.

One of the major proponents of the 21 Law was Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., a Duke alumna, who was a member of the Reagan cabinet. Sen. Dole was largely responsible for fixing the drinking age at 21. I think that The Chronicle should publish an interview with Sen. Dole to obtain a better understanding of the rationale for her opinions and actions on this issue. I also think that Duke should assume a leadership role in the political process of changing this fallacious law, which is discriminatory to young adults. Mac Phillips Trinity 76 Huntsville, AL

Students should fight drinking law In its editorial about undergraduate social life and recent actions of North Carolina’s Alcohol Law Enforcement (August 29, 2005), The Chronicle asked, “Where will we go?” My advice to undergrads is this: You should go to the legislature. The law makes it illegal for you to drink, but laws are made by people and can be changed by people. Instead of wasting your time protesting political causes that have no relevance to your lives, why not make this the time for a campaign to restore the drinking age to 18? If ALE has you down, just remember that they work for you and that your taxes pay for their sting operations. If you want to fire them, maybe you should call your legislators and start the ball rolling. Sure, it may not work—but why not try? Brian Coggins Trinity 'O3 Biology 'lO Duke needs to change alcohol policy The 194 citations off East Campus of Duke students for alcohol violations this past weekend should open up the eyes of the Duke administration to the problem they are creating. By breaking up parties on West Cam-

pus and continually putting fraternities on probation for simple alcohol violations, the University is creating an environment where a significant percentage of their future graduates have needless legal issues and potential criminal records. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs said: “We are not going to be open to large numbers of underage students drinking on campus. What we need is a redefinition of social life.” Any definition of social life that is not open to “large numbers ofunderage students drinking on campus” is destined to fail and simply push students off campus and to bars to drink. College students ofany age are going to drink! If they can’t get alcohol on West (because the Duke administration won’t allow it) or at bars (because of the risk of ALE agents arresting them), they will sneak handles of alcohol into their freshmen dorms and take several shots before they go out. This is the least healthy and least responsible way for kids to experiment with alcohol. If Duke allowed a vibrant social scene on West Campus, complete with alcohol without risk of citation, then students wouldn’t be forced to seek dangerous ways to have a few drinks. Instead, they would be forced to wait in lines to get beers and face massive crowds to wade through, keeping the pace of alcohol consumption contained. Obviously the law of the United States states that people under the age of 21 cannot drink or possess alcohol. Discussion of the law aside, many top notch schools, including Harvard, Yale, Williams and Middlebury and coundess others, have found ways to relax on campus enforcement of these laws, allowing their students to drink alcohol in a safe and fun manner. By vehemendy opposing underage alcohol consumption on campus, Duke is putting its students in riskier situations for getting arrested as well as drinking way too much hard alcohol.
