MENDEL/THE CHRONICLE

Websites that sell student term papers, such as freeforessays.com, have become popular methods of cheating.

With the kick-off of the new school year, students are recommitting themselves to academic integrity as outlined by the Community Standard—but plagiarism is still alive and thriving on college campuses across the nation thanks to the Internet, as one Duke student knows all too well. Blue Macellari, a second-year graduate student in a joint-degree program between the Fuqua School of Business and the Paul H. Nitze School ofAdvanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, is suing three term-paper websites with claims they were selling one ofher papers without permission. Macellari is suing the owner of the websites for more than $lOO,OOO in alleged damages for “copyright infringement, false designation of origin, false advertising, con-

sumer fraud and deception, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment.” The complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois in East St. Louis, lists Rusty Carroll, the Illinois-based R2C2, Inc. and the South Carolina-based Digitalsmiths Corp. as co-defendants in the case. Caroll owns the two independent companies listed in the complaint. All three defendants are registrants for the domain name of the websites where Macellari’s paper was found. As a junior at Mount Holyoke College, Macellari wrote “South Africa’s GEAR; Using a ‘revised dependency theory’ to assess South Africa’s situation,” while studying abroad at the University of Cape SEE LAWSUIT ON PAGE 6

Bombings shock Baghdad, kill 160 by

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD More than a dozen highly coordinated bombings' ripped through Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 160 people and wounding 570 in the capital’s bloodiest day since the end of major combat. Many of the victims were day laborers lured by a suicide attacker posing as an employer. al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attacks in the name of Sunni insurgents, saying it was a retaliation for the rout of militants at a base close to the Syrian border. The spasm of violence terrorized the capital for more than nine hours. The

first attack, at 6:30 a.m., was the deadliest: a suicide car blast which tore through the predominantly Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Kazimiyah. In what was believed to be a new tactic, the bomber set off the explosive after calling the construction and other workers to his small van and enticing them with promises of employment, a witness said. At least 112 people were killed and more than 200 were wounded, according to Health Ministry officials. Twisted hulks of vehicles blocked the bloodstained main street in Kazimiyah’s Oruba Square. The attacks continued Thursday, when

Thair Mahmoud. al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, Abu Musab alZarqawi, purportedly declared “all-out war” on Shiites, Iraqi troops and the government in an audiotape posted Wednesday on an Internet site known for carrying extremist Islamic content. The al-Zarqawi tape was a clear attempt, coming on the heels of the attacks, to create a climate of fear, sow deeper sectarian discord and scare Iraqis away from the Oct. 15 referendum on a new constitution.

Inside his Edens Quadrangle single, the president of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity picks up a small index card file from on top of his dresser. Change ratdes inside. “A couple of days ago there were $9OO in this box,” senior Carver Moore said, re-

ferring to the funds his fraternity raised for Hurricane Katrina relief in collaboration with Delta Gamma sorority. “Our goal was $3,333.33,” he explained. “Since the alums will doubly match any money we raise, that would make a total donation of $10,000.” Several fraternities and sororities have responded to aid victims of the catastrophe that ravaged the Gulf Coast a week and a half ago. “People are asking, ‘Where can we make the most difference for [those] in need?’” said Todd Adams, assistant dean of students. “The biggest challenge has

been coordinating the efforts of all 36 organizations.” Some groups have mobilized their alumni networks. For example, a portion of SigEp’s and Delta Gamma’s matching funds come from the Manilow Fund for Health and Hope, which was founded by singer Barry Manilow. It was arranged by the president of Manilow’s management company, who is a former SigEp brother from the University of Southern California. The two groups sold $2 raffle tickets at the West Campus bus stop, raising $2,318. The winner will get an Xbox and a $lOO shopping spree at Southpoint mall. When combined with matching funds from the Manilow Foundation and SigEp alumni, the total donation will be $6,954. “People were coming to the bus stop and buying 100 tickets,” Moore said. “Kids were calling their parents to tell them to add more money to their bur-

sar’s and FLEX accounts.” SigEp and Delta Gamma are not alone in their efforts. The greek Community plans to incorporate hurricane relief into this year’s Greek Week programming, Interfraternity Council President Jay McKenna, a senior and member of Sigma Nu, wrote in an e-mail. McKenna said the greek response to Katrina is distinguished by “the diversity of projects and efforts that we are seeing.” Sorority Kappa Kappa Gammafocused their charity on Lake Providence, La., the beleaguered hometown of senior Cassie Condrey, a Kappa sister.

Friends and colleagues praised Elizabeth Bartlet, who died early Sunday morning at Hillcrest Center of abdominal cancer, as a dedicated, ethical and generous scholar. The 57-year-old native of Ontario, Canada, was a renowned musicologist and lover of France and French opera. She had been a professor at Duke for the past 23 years. Bartlet was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and remained a part of the faculty of the music department while undergoing chemotherapy. Doctors informedBartlet in May that she had only a week left to live, said long-time friend and colleague Alexander Silbiger, who retired from the department of music three years ago. Despite the news, Bartlet made a list of several projects she wanted to complete before she died and diligently worked toward accomplishing her goals. “One would think that with what litde time she had left she would want to do other things,” Silbiger said. “She was hoping to be able to teach this year.” One ofBartlet’s major scholarly accomplishments was her critical edition of Gioacchino Rossini’s score of Guillaume Tell, a French opera. Bardet’s edition has been used for performances in San Francisco and Geneva and at La Scala, Covent Garden and the International Rossini Festival in Pesaro, Italy. “Her definitive edition, I’m sure, will be used from now on,” Silbiger said. Bartlet completed her latest piece of work—a critical edition of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Platee —earlier this summer. A published copy of the composition was delivered to her only a few days ago. “She straggled very hard to finish this,” Silbiger said. SEE BARTLET ON PAGE 7

Red Bull,a high-caffeine energy drink, is sold at several campus eateries, including The Loop and Beanery.

Cafe, depicting the reason Red Bull seems to be pervading Duke’s campus. Despite doubts as to how healthy the drink really is, students at the University have embraced Red Bull. “I had two at 9 a.m. That’s pretty messed up,” freshman Katherine Brazer said. The $1.99 drink has worked its way onto the menus of several campus vendors, including The Great Hall, The Loop, The Beanery and Trinity Cafe. “[Red Bull USA] approached me last year about having a bigger presence on campus,” Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said. “Students think things are hip, and if there’s a market here on campus, then we will provide it.”

Red Bull does seem hip—evidenced by the number of students who admit enjoying the drink’s caffeine and unique taste. “It gets to the point when Diet Coke doesn’t really affect me anymore. If I need to stay awake, it’s got to be Red Bull. It’s disgusting, but it works,” Brazer said. Freshman Jovana Pavisic echoed Brazer’s sentiments. “Red Bull works. I don’t like this other stuff,” she said over breakfast, gesturing toward a friend’s frothy cappuccino. Whether Red Bull’s increased presence on campus is beneficial or harmful to students is debatable. Rumors that the energy drink’s high levels of caffeine are bad for health and that, when mixed with alcohol, the drink can affect the heart have circulated through campus conversations. The drink came' under scrutiny worldwide following the premature deaths of people in Ireland and Sweden who had consumed Red Bull shortly before dying. One student drank three Red Bulls after

strenuous exercise, and three other people

mixed the energy drink with alcohol. “If you’re putting in a lot ofcaffeine... it’s basically setting you up for a rapid heart rate. You can get a lot of anxiety and panic attacks, and if you’re taking alcohol that depresses the nervous system, then you’re not aware [of an increased heart rate],” said Franca Alphin, clinical associate and registered dietician at Student Health. Wulforst called Red Bull and vodka—a popular party beverage at student parties—“a disgusting kind of combination.” “The last thing I would do is drink a booster drink with alcohol,” Wulforst said. Several students agreed, noting they are wary of trying the potentially harmful concoction. Others said the drink alone is enough to handle. “It has too much caffeine,” freshman Marcus Switzer said.

ALSTON from page 1 community.

Alston pointed to his own personal economic challenges, noting that he believes he can empathize with the difficulties Durham residents face. He added that the taxes Durham citizens pay are too high and the municipal infrastructure they use is too weak. “Durham has the highest taxes as well as the worst roads,” Alston said. “I feel that since the 1990s—a time when the entire population was achieving and more kids were going to college—we have done a total u-tum.” In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Alston said he is also cridcal of Durham’s readiness to handle a hurricane. “It’s just horrible. There is no way [Durham] would have been prepared for such a disaster,” he said. “We need to start thinking about our shelters, the underground cables and other sources of power.” But Alston’s criticisms are’not limited to the local level. “In this country, we are greedy. We weigh the value of money more than people,” he said. “I feel we are in deep with [President George W.] Bush. Electing him was a big mistake. Iraq was no threat to us —I know, I was there. It all revolves around our pride and arrogance.” Alston said he believes his service as an Army Ranger will enhance his image come election time. “From my years in Iraq, I’ve gained the skills of leadership and the value of sacrifice. I learned the values of cohesion and morality, which many people in this country don’t understand,” he said. These values, Alston added, were gleaned from figures such as W.E.B. Dubois and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Condrey e-mailed her sorority sisters Saturday to ask for help. Since then Condrey has received “garbage bags and plastic bins full of clothing and pillows and other necessities.” Monday night, Kappa assembled 100 “Katrina Kits,” which contained school and hy-r giene supplies for evacuees staying in Lake Providence. Condrey will deliver the donated kits and clothes when she flies home to Louisiana Saturday. Off-campus fraternities Eta Prime and Delta Phi Alpha—formerly Kappa Sigma

and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, respectively—held a benefit party at George’s Garage last Thursday. The management of George’s agreed to donate half of the $5 cover charge to the Red Cross. Eta Prime also sold t-shirts to benefit Katrina victims, and according to chapter president Michael Kenney, a senior, the two fraternities raised nearly $2,000 between the George’s benefit and t-shirt sales. “Obviously the main motivation was to help people in need,” Kenney said. “But some of the motivation came from the fact that the [Duke] administration saw us in a negative way and something like this was a way to get our name associated with a positive cause.” Delta Phi Alpha president Billy Fennebresque, also a senior, agrees that the fraternities’ efforts prove that service “is something the members of our two fraternities care about.”

Ruderman, who also serves as the chair of the Academic Integrity Council, said buying or downloading papers is not only unethical behavior but also inhibits students from gaining anything substantive from their education. “There are a lot of temptations in the world,” she said. “Ultimately it is up to us to resist it for the good of ourselves and for the good of society.”

LAWSUIT from page 1 Town in 1999. According to the complaint, Macellari constructed a website containing links to various documents as part of a final project for a course entitled “East Asian Economic Development” during her senior year at Mount Holyoke. As a result, she posted the 15-page paper she had written in South Africa to, as the complaint states, “highlight her past work.” In the complaint, Macellari said she first became aware of the websites when a friend conducted a Google search of her name and came upon doingmyhomework.com and freeforessays.com, both of which listed Macellari’s Soutli Africa paper as an available essay on dieir databases. She later learned of freefortermpa-

After realizing her paper was posted on the websites, Macellari contacted a legal organization that referred her to Evan Andrew Parke, an associate in the Washington D.C. office of the McDermott Will & Emery law firm. Parke is representing Macellari pro bono, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. Most of the papers on the three websites are anonymous, but Macellari’s name appears to have been left on her paper.

Others praised her commitment to teaching. “When she nominated a student for a prize or award, she would make sure the student had everything he or she needed to win the prize,” said Jonathan Bagg, associate professor of the practice and director of undergraduate studies for the music department. Susan Dunn, professor of the practice in the music department, remembered Bartlet as a longtime supporter of the shows sponsored by the department. “She was an extremely loyal person to come to all of the ensemble recitals and performances. She was a generous person in that way,” Dunn said. “The performance faculty will remember that in particular.” Bartlet began her career as an oboist. She graduated from the University of Toronto with honors in music in 1970, earning a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in musicology in 1972 and 1982, respectively. Bartlet also served as the chair of the Southeast Chapter of the American Musicological Society from 1992 until 1995 and had acted as secretary to the National Council of AMS since 1993.

RED BULL from page 4 one can of Red Bull equals that in one cup offilter coffee and warns consumers to avoid using Red Bull as fluid replacement when exercising. The website, however, does not acknowledge the mixing of Red Bull with vodka. “It actually just depends on what cup of coffee your using as a reference. There’s a lot of Starbucks coffees that do have a lot more caffeine than Red Bull,” Alphin said. “To me, Red Bull is just another coffee; it’s another source of caffeine. I think drinking too much caffeine regardless ofwhat form your taking it in is a problem. While stressing that students should “

One drink certainly is not a problem,” she said. For many Duke students, however, Red Bull’s supposed advantages are hard to resist; the drink’s website lauds Red Bull as stimulating metabolism and improving performance, concentration, reaction speed, vigilance and emotional status. And it seems like some people will go to extremes to satisfy their energy drink addiction.

Frustrated by the long and slow-moving lines, Bianca Guice contrasted her impression of the government’s acdon with those of the local Wal-Mart, which opened its doors to victims just days after the storm. “Maybe the people that own WalMart should be the president,” she said

half-jokingly.

Hurricane victim Lynne Farve waited in the sparse shade with her grandson and daughter-in-law, while her husband and son stood in the FEMA line for nearly four hours. “I would’ve expected our government to have been better prepared so that they would’ve been able to do something for us before this,” she said. Hundreds of people who evacuated the Waveland area returned to their homes to find only rubble. To make matters worse, many said, the arduous process of getting through to FEMA has been frustrating. “We are on day 10 since the storm, and we’re just getting to talk to FEMA,” she said. ‘We have no services. We have no phones. Our cell phones just started working, and they have it set up here so that we can use a phone bank, but even that is frustrating because your calls are dropped.” Temporarily living in a shelter about two and a half miles away from the com-

pound, the Farves have taken advantage of the services offered at the compound, dubbed “Camp Katrina.” Lynne’s son and daughter-in-law visited the North Carolina State Medical Assistance Team field hospital, and the family has enjoyed hot meals and free supplies from a church-

sponsored marketplace. Guice has also been taking advantage of the services offered at the relief compound. Upon seeing the devastation, the lifelong Mississippi native said she didn’t

recognize anything underneath the ruins. But more troubling for her was seeing the affect the hurricane had on her 11-year-old daughter. “My daughter, when she seen it, it was harder on her. I guess the only way for her to be able to go through it is to be able to write and draw, which she does a lot of,” Guice said. “In away, she wants to go back [to school] because she wants to see who’s still around. But then she doesn’t want to because she’s afraid of what she’ll see. So,

it’s hard. It’s very hard.” Though the floodwaters have receded off the coast of Mississippi, the victims are still a long way from knowing how exacdy to react to what they have gone through. “It went from really frightening to really frustrating,” Farve said. “I don’t feel desperate, but I know a lot of people are desperate —I guess because I have all my family—but it has been really life-changing for all of us. And beyond that I don’t know what to say. We’re still... in limbo.”

Carbon Leaf lives "Life Less

September IS, 2005

Rosebuds Make

Ordinary" by

Jordan Everson

recess Twelve years ago, Carbon Leaf, a Richmond, Va.-based quintet, first combined two words on the bus ride back from a rafting trip to create a makeshift, then eventually permanent band name. Since then, as lead singer Barry Privett says, they’ve been a “working band.” And through the years and the tours, they’ve evolved from being a strictly Celtic bluegrass band into, in singer Barry Privett’s sparing words, “a rock band.” For years Carbon Leaf focused on college and small venues, but after four selfreleased albums, breaks started coming. They were voted Coca-Cola’s best new artist in 2002 (oddly nine years after they formed) and appeared on the Dr. Phil show recently. They also released Indian Summer, their most mature album yet on Vanguard Records in 2004. Privett willingly admits their previous work often “didn’t have much emotional resonance.” But Indian Summer eschews that. It works for a cohesive theme of “trying to find an emotional connection with another person while in your own darkness.” Privett describes Summer as “an unseasonably warm summer following an early frost.” The album builds off that image-there is a constant conceit of breaking through the ice: thawing out and really living. Typified in their radio-friendly “Life Less Ordinary,” Carbon Leaf begs us not to let life SEE CARBON LEAF ON PAGE 7

Robert Winterode recess Raleigh’s The Rosebuds can be utterly precious. There’s the band name and the fact that the band is a husband-wife duo-married in May 2001—with the occasional guest drummer. On their debut, Ivan Howard—a Southern guitar-playing Morrissey—and Kelly Crisp—a more spirited version of Meg White on keyboards —spun adept strands of Beadesque pop replete with lyrics like, “I got an itchy itching timebomb pulling my heart” and a proliferation of “whoas,” “yeahs” and “bomp bomp bahs.” And yes, their latest album Birds Make Good Neighbors is more serious in tone yet there’s still that album title —an allusion to a cardinals’ nest by

Dozens of shipping crates and pieces of half-unpacked artwork, still shrouded in heavy plastic, fill the sky-lit interior of the Nasher Museum. Excitement wafts through the air; the museum staff busies itself arranging displays in preparation for the Oct. 2 opening. Soon these empty spaces will house famous collections open for public viewing.

Visitors can expect two innovative trav-

eling exhibitions to kick off the museum’s opening, in addition to the impressive

permanent collection. The first temporary exhibition, “The Evolution of the Nasher Collection,” will present a history of Raymond and Patsy Nasher’s interest in art and narrate the growth of their diverse collection, featuring work by Rodin, Picasso, Matisse and

by the couple’s front door. It’s all part of the ineluctable charm of this undeniably Paris Hilton-hot poprock outfit. Flashback to the year 1990: Before Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” the grunge rock anthem du jour was Superchunk’s “Slack Motherf—er:” a cutting tirade against a lazy Kinko’s worker. Along with seminal groups like Polvo and Archers ofLoaf now lost in the indie rock vernacular, Superchunk led the local independent music scene as it went national as the “next Seattle.” Today, as other far-flung places like Omaha and Detroit have lost their musical luster, the national spotlight might once again shift to the Triangle.

break out “Everybody’s saying we’re going to be the next Montreal,” Crisp said, referencing the fertile breeding grounds of bands like the Dears and the Arcade Fire. Major label A & R scouts have been discovered at area concerts and have already signed a few locals (see the Comas and Tift Merritt.) “I can’t think of a worse fate,” Crisp quickly added. Which is ironic considering that the Rosebuds could be this scene’s tipping point all over again. They have precedent as the first local band in years to be signed to Durhambased record label Merge Records. They have the peer group, which includes labelmates/ critical smashes like Spoon and the Arcade Fire. They have the pedigree; Brian Paulson, the producer for both of their LPs, has also worked with Wilco and Beck, and Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance, band members of Superchunk, also own Merge. They have the buzz: their debut Rosebuds Make Out! docked on many critics’ 2003 top ten lists. But those clouds of gathering buzz sometimes seem like menacing thunderheads Crisp said. “I think we wouldn’t be able to operate on the idea that we’re not our own little secret anymore.” And yet the Rosebuds in refined form on Birds Make Good Neighbors —in stores last Tuesday—might do Just that. “It’s a more matured presentation this time around,” said Crisp. “It’s a darker, more nuanced sound.” And while on their debut, the Rosebuds came off as the Smiths meets the Beatles, this time they’ve also embraced a fullrange of influences from CCR to Nancy Sinatra’s Lee Hazlewood and Old MoTown. They’ve also taken a different approach to music-making. “We tried to get the lyrics to work with the music this time,” Crisp said. ‘We sort of came to the conclusion that there’s no real reason for a song if a lyric’s imagery isn’t reflected in its structure.” On their debut, the tracks resonated sunny but the LP’s stuff manifested as melancholy: tales of leaving home and youth’s dissolution. This time they built songs over even SEE

sandbox recess books editor Chrissie Gorman navigates the Lipstick Jungle in Sex and the City author’s new book On Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell’s fictional alter ego Carrie Bradshaw agonized over what tone to set for her debut book. She finally decided to dedicate it to Charlotte York, a signal of the novel’s optimistic tone. Already three books into her real-life novelist career, Bushnell recognizes the significance of setting her own writing’s tone through its dedication. Her latest release, Lipstick Jungle, shows a shift from previous works with a simple dedication to her “darling husband.” Bushnell has discovered a secret passion: marriage. This lifestyle change drives Bushnell toward a new sector of the female population in Lipstick Jungle. Gone are the single, sex-driven characters relying on men to maintain their lavish lifestyles. Instead, Bushnell opts for the scandals behind steady seven-figure salaries and enormous wedding rings to fuel her story line. IDACE BUSHNEi Lipstick Jungle chronicles three successful businesswomen and the delicate balances that characterize their lives. Amid marriage crisis, company revival and confidential affairs, fashion designer Victory Ford, magazine editor Nico O’Neilly and movie producer Wendy Healy dominate the world of glamorous success in NewYork City. In typical Bushnell style, these characters and the plot that leads them are sidebars in a novel dominated by “the good life.” Yes, Nico O’Neilly and Wendy Healy may be juggling family and career. But rest assured, that while O’Neilly hides her affair with a Calvin Klein model, her daughter rides horses five times a week and keeps a monthly hair and nail appointment at Bergdorf Goodman’s. There will be no charges of child negligence in that multi-million dollar apartment. Unlike previous Bushnell works, her female characters are not fighting for the man with the largest vacation home. Instead, these women are aligned together against the men out to get them professionally and personally. Appropriately, as Bushnell often stacks her characters against real-world players, all three characters are in the top twenty of “New York’s 50 Most Powerful Women,” a New York Post list topped by “future president” Hillary Clinton, a woman who may be the ultimate representation of the unrelenting feminine power threaded throughout Lipstick Jungle. —Chrissie Gorman

Just Like Heaven

Will Wright

recess with the ideal cast for a sweet and snappy romantic Equipped comedy, Just Like Heaven turns out to be just like disappointment. Scruffy, nerd-hunk Mark Ruffalo (whose resume is still very impressive despite this hiccup —EternalSunshine, Collateral) plays widower David Abbott, who moves into a seemingly uninhabited apartment in San Francisco. The apartment, however, houses the spirit of Dr. Elizabeth Masterson (Reese Witherspoon), a workaholic physician who was apparently too busy to notice that she drove head-on into an 18-wheelerand wound up in a coma. Ironically, it’s Witherspoon’s performance that’s the real tragedy—you find yourself longing for the warmth she showed in Sweet Home Alabama within moments of her appearance on screen. As the GAosi-redux plot progresses, with the fully human Abbott falling for the transient Masterson, Witherspoon becomes increasingly unconvincing. You expect better from an actress who showed such promise in Election, Pleasantville and American Psycho, but hope is dwindling that she will be the heir-apparent to romantic comedy queen Meg Ryan. Equally frustrating is that the funniest moment in the film doesn’t come from the potentially-fantastic sidekicks: highly-underutilized Donal Logue and Jon Heder (turning on the surfer drool yet barely achieving Napoleon Dynamite-lite, sans the sweet hair). No, the funniest line comes from neighborhood skank Katrina (Ivana Milicevic), who—while attempting to seduce David—blesses us with her opinion of current world events: “Hello, Osama? Communism is so over. Give your people toilet paper.” And while you’re at it, give me something better than this piece of middling melodrama.

fiimreview

Lord of War Katie Somers recess In the flippant world ofLord of War, where the ch-chings of a cash register cheerfully replace the sound of gunshots, remorseless violence reigns supreme. Or at least it should. The shocking comedy of dealing arms without regard for their uses stumbles when the characters display some semblance of a conscience. Nicolas Cage plays a veteran arms dealer with a Zach Morris cell phone who doesn’t do it for the money, though there’s plenty where that came from. He deals arms to third-world dictators because he’s good at it. His brother (Jared Leto) needs blow to get a rush, but Cage’s character gets his high from deal-making with despots. The film is glibly written but admirably directed by Andrew Niccol ( Gattaca, The Truman Show ). His characters speak only in didactic soundbites (“When there’s a will, there’s a weapon.”) or intrusive voiceovers (Niccol would have benefited from the same screenwriting instruction Cage’s character received in Adaptation). Nevertheless, the film, with a soundtrack that could double for The OC is by

fun because of the irreverent way it treats such a serious issue as arms trafficking. Only the nagging moments of humanity displayed by Ethan Hawke’s cop and Leto’s brother detract from the otherwise cheeky tone of the film. Based on a true story, War wisely doesn’t try to make Cage into a good person —there’s nothing more boring or nauseating than a villain with a conscience. The resounding message of the movie is that evil prevails, and there’s no use trying to change the nature of the universe. As Cage replies when a truce has rendered his guns no longer necessary, “Re-route [the weapons] to the Balkans. When they say they’re having a war, they keep their word.” There will never be worldwide peace, the UNSC countries will always tacitly or explicidy support arms trafficking and the enemy ofyour enemy is your friend.

Fox exposes the top secret world of food service in UPN: Kitchen Confidential. Based on Anthony Bourdain’s 2000 memoir of the same name, the sitcom follows Jack (Bradley Cooper), a recovering drug addict and celebrity chef, as he attempts to revive his career and navigate life in New York. Best known as Sydney’s reliable best friend Will on Alias and for his supporting turn as Claire’s nefarious fiance in the summer smash The Wedding Crashers, KC is touted as a star turn for Cooper. Although the buzz is good New York magazine recendy referred to it as zippy, irreverent and black-humored KC faces tough competition, going up against much-hyped CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Fox is banking on the edgy sensibility of exec producer Darren Star, the creative mind behind Sex & the City, to propel the show to success. Yet, according to Bourdain who serves a consultant on the show, KC is already on the right path. Asked his opinion of the first episode by an interviewer, Cooper’s real-life counterpart quipped, “There’s some drug use and dismemberment in the first —C.D. half hour. I find that very promising.”

others—a compilation of eclectic and internationally renowned pieces. “Many of these pieces have never left the Nashers’ home... it is very exciting to see them within the context of other things, because it makes you realize how avant garde the Nashers were in the late 19705,” museum curator and art history professor Sarah Schroth said. The other featured exhibit, “The Forest: Politics, Poetics and Practice,” aims to show the interdisciplinary nature of art through the theme of forests. “Some of the artists are making a political statement about deforestation and colonialism and nuclear proliferation,” said Wendy Hower Livingston, Nasher’s marketing and communications manager. “A few of the artists actually work in communities to help find a solution to these problems.” The pieces in the permanent collection at the old Duke University Museum ofArt were organized chronologically and by geography. At Nasher, they will be displayed by broad themes such as nature, gender and ritual instead. “We developed these [themes] in consultation with faculty members,” museum director Kimberly Rorschach said. “We think this will serve teaching needs in the best way and will be most engaging for all our audiences.” Early next spring, Nasher expects to house a selection of African-American art pieces from NBA basketball star and Duke alum Grant Hill. Extending its responsibility to reaching the immediate communities of Duke and Durham, Nasher boasts a “community classroom” for visiting school groups, as well as reservable auditorium and classroom space with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment. Rorschach’s goal for community interaction and outreach is within sight—especially since Nasher will be Durham’s sole art museum of significant size and stature.

The website, however, does not acknowledge the mixing of Red Bull with vodka. “It actually just depends on what cup of coffee your using as a reference. There’s a lot of Starbucks coffees that do have a lot more caffeine than Red Bull,” Alphin said. “To me, Red Bull is just another coffee; it’s another source of caffeine. I think drinking too much caffeine regardless of what form your taking it in is a problem. While stressing that students should “

avoid “multiple combinations of Red Bull and alcohol,” Alphin noted that by itself, the energy drink is safe in moderation. “The average person will do fine with it.... One drink certainly is not a problem,” she said. For many Duke students, however, Red Bull’s supposed advantages are hard to resist; the chink’s website lauds Red Bull as stimulating metabolismand improving performance, concentration, reaction speed, vigilance and emotional status. And it seems like some people will go to extremes to satisfy their energy drink addiction. A Red Bull refrigerator stocked with 75 of the drinks was reported stolen from The Beanery Aug. 29 at a total cost of $638. “I had only had it for two days

THE CHRONICLE

Last year’s season did not end the way the women’s tennis team had imagined. Duke struggled through a spring filled with injuries and inconsistency. The Blue Devils were seeded seventh in the ACC Championships—their worst seeding in 23 years—and lost in the quarterfinals to Miami. Duke’s luck was no better in the tournament, as the 15th-seedNCAA season ed team was ousted by archrival and pf€-¥ieW 13th seed North Carolina in the second round. The defeat marked the first time in 15 years that the Blue Devils failed to advance to the round of 16. “Not making it to the Sweet 16, that’s basically unheard of for Duke tennis,” senior Jackie Carleton said. “It’s always your goal to at least give yourself a shot to make it to the championship final, and last year was just a hard year with injuries. Our team’s chemistry wasn’t as good as it could have been.” Last spring’s disappointment weighed heavily on the minds of many of the Blue Devils during the summer, and head coach Jamie Ashworth said it has motivated his players as they prepare for their upcoming season, «

Senior Jackie Carleton said she and her teammates have been working on communication and otherskills to improve their doubles play.

which begins Saturday at the William & Mary Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. Freshmen Melissa Mang and Jessi Robinson and juniors Tory Zawacki and Krisdn Cargill will represent Duke at the three-day event. In addition to the injuries that kept junior Jennifer Zika, senior Julia Smith and 2005 graduate Katie Blaszak sidelined for portions of the spring, the Blue Devils were also plagued by poor doubles play. The injuries forced Ashworth to try a number of different pairs, never finding the right combinations to solve the team’s woes. Duke won the doubles point in just 10 ofits 26 matches last season. To help remedy the situation, Ashworth hired Stephanie Nickitas as the team’s new assistant coach. As a player at Florida, Nickitas claimed back-to-back NCAA Doubles titles in 1996 and 1997 and was a finalist in 1998. “Our assistant coach is very knowledgeable about doubles,” Carleton said. “She knows about everything—position on the court, tactics.” Ashworth said to improve the team’s doubles performances he has been emphasizing good communication, high first-serve percentages and high return SEE W.

W. TENNIS from page 9 percentages during the team’s first 10 days of practice. He added that the Blue Devils’ workouts have been much more productive than last season. “In my mind it’s the overall attitude—l think you can see the difference already,” Ashworth said. “This team knows that it can be very good.” After Blaszak and Saras Arasu graduated in May, Duke welcomed three new freshmen and a UCLA transfer, Daniela Bercek, to its lineup. Bercek, who was a teammate of 2004 UCLA transfer Carleton, is currently ranked fifth in the ITA’s preseason singles poll. “In my mind we have enough talentsingles-wise to have a really good year. We have to really focus on our doubles,” Ashworth said. “We’re going to use the first three tournaments [of the fall season] to try doubles teams, and we’re going to use the last three tournaments to go with doubles teams that look good.” With no dual-matches until January, Ashworth said he has not yet given any serious thought to what positions his players will compete at in singles. But with renewed talent, the choice will not be easy. “If it’s not tough on me to make a lineup decision, then people aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” Ashworth said. “Hopefully everyone has good results in the fall and come January 12th or 13th I have to struggle coming up with a lineup.” ANTHONY CROSS/THE CHRONICLE

Sports psychologist GregDale led a numberof team-building activities during the women's soccer team's preseason trip to the mountains in Asheville, N.C.

DALE from page 9 coach Mike Pressler. Pressler added that he has been convinced by other coaches to use Dale more in the team setting. In the past Pressler mainly utilized Dale’s services by sending individual players to him. Katie Chrest, who won the Tewaaraton Trophy for female lacrosse player of the year last season, has relied on Dale’s counseling to enhance her performance. “I used to get really frustrated and self destructive in practice to the point where I couldn’t play well anymore,” Chrest

said. “[Dale] helped me take the focus off onto my unit and the team. And I had my best year last year. He’s done so much for me as a player.” Individual help for athletes is especially important at a school like Duke, where the academic demands are so stringent, Dale said. “My job is to help people relax, let go of the distractions and just go out and be an athlete and not think so much,” Dale said. “A lot of kids will carry their academic situation over into practice and we talk a lot about how to let those things go.” Beyond his counseling of Duke athletes, Dale also writes books, narrates

myself and

DVDs and works with professional athletes. He has written books on teambuilding activities and coaching strateHis athletic gies. professional relationships include NFL players from the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers, USA Track and Field athletes and countless others. “I feel like I have the best job in America,” he said. “I get to work with bright students, I get to work with very committed and highly talented athletes and coaches who are committed to trying to do what they do at the highest level. It’s rewarding, it’s also challenging and it’s something new every single day.”

Acquaintance rapes are alreported to the authorities, and those that are reported are difficult to prosecute. It’s not a matter of finding the assailant, it’s a matter of proving that a crime was committed—a far more difficult task, because it often comes down to “he said, she said.” Women might not report these assaults because they worry no one will believe them. Some believe the process of proving the crime will be more painful than they can handle, and some want to forget the incident because they know they will continue to see their assailants. If a woman does report an acquaintance rape, and if the assailant is convicted, he could face up to 50 years in prison. At Duke, he might most never

face a separate judicial process requires a lower burden of proof. But given the difficulty of proving intent when it comes to sex, why are we using legal standards to guide our moral judgments? Sexual assault, especially in cases of acquaintances, remains a fixture in our culture. Programs like Duke’s Sexual Assault Support Services and the group’s awareness activities help raise the profile of the problem, but although they may raise the number of assaults reported, they cannot purge the problem itself.

Fundamentally, acquainhappens because

we live in a culture of assumptions. Some women assume that sexual activity is the norm, and some men assume that if women do not protest,

that counts as consent. Too often some men assume that if she doesn’t say no, that implicitly means yes, and that if they don’t hear about the problem, then nothing is wrong. But what if we had a culture of consent? A culture that demands respect, communication and choice. Men should respect their partners enough to make sure acts are truly consensual, and women should respect their partners by honestly expressing their feelings, whether they mean “more” or “less.” We may never know if the assault reported Saturday night results in punishment, or even a criminal charge. But we should remember that these incidents happen every weekend, and the only way to diminish their frequency is to change our expectations.

And I didn’t call my mom until I was ready to tell the truth—to express in words all that I had witnessed and felt. Now as I walk around campus, every Katrina relief flyer or money collection jar I see brings back a snapshot, a moment in time from the weekend in Waveland. I am proud to see Duke reaching out —but I know that no amount of donated cash, boxes of old clothing stacked on the quad or “I know, isn’t it terrible?”s uttered over coffee can convey or remedy the destruction Katrina inflicted, the misery she left behind or the selflessness of the volunteers who are laboring to help her victims. Though our reports on the aftermath of the storm will of course continue, today’s issue of The Chronicle offers the final installment of our Waveland coverage. I hope this series has provided at least a glimpse of the horror and'compassion converging on the Gulf Coast. And I hope that one day soon, those who were hit hardest by Katrina will be able to enjoy a good

night’s sleep. Seyward Darby is a Trinity junior and editor of the The Chronicle.

The president’s approval rating is reaching dismal lows as Americans become less responsive to these appeals.

with the band off the field minutes before the kickoff of Saturday’s football game, I was shocked to see nearly two sections of Wally Wade filled with —no, it couldn’t be—students?! Sure, most of them were wearing cowboy hats fashioned from beer cases, or sundresses, or ski pants, or some combination of the three, but they were there! They were really there, and they were cheering! Okay, so they were cheering things like, “Vick is a pedophile.” But still, there was a solid “Let’s go Elizabeth rudisill Duke!” or two Do SomethinG And, well, looking back up at the stands at halftime, I saw that most of them had already gone stumbling back home. But really, the usual nucleus of students was still there, right? Right? While I can’t blame the students for leaving at halftime—we were down 21-0 at that point—I can thank a few people for making them be there for at least part of the game. Although they probably didn’t enjoy having their tailgate cut short, making the students leave the Blue Zone and enter the stadium did increase the noise level for the first half of the game. This was a direct result of the new tailgating policy implemented by the administration last week. Duke Student Government President Jesse Longoria told The Chronicle that there was some talk of ending tailgate altogether after the debauchery oflast year. DSG also helped draft the new policy, which wasn’t really too different from the former one except that going to the game, specifically by kickoff, is now required. And the “student leaders” given the task of enforcing the new rules did a good job, preventing extreme cases ofbad behavior and bringing in the tailgaters in time for some keyshaking action at the kickoff. Given the other option presented by the administration no tailgate at aII—DSG did a fantastic job. The more venerableand famous tradition of tenting is another issue that’s up for review again this year; it will be interesting to see how DSG handles the administration’s request for a shorter tenting season. The adults who run Duke are not happy about the absences from class or the sick students that result from tenting. At last Tuesday’s forum on Krzyzewskiville, Head Line Monitor Lauren Troyer said she would have to “make some concessions to the administration” in order to keep K-ville in the administration’s good graces. It is still unclear how DSG plans to do this. Should they eliminate a second tenting game? Employ a start date before which tenting cannot take place? End Black Tenting? Make tenting “harder?” While the administration doesn’t really have any love at all for the new “tradition” of tailgating, they adore K-ville. Everyone who has ever watched a college basketball game has probably heard of K-ville, the devoted student fans and what they sacrifice to see the Duke-UNC game—all while maintaining 3.85 GPAs (well, maybe not) at one of the top schools in the country. But when parents start calling and complaining about their children who have developed six colds since beginning tenting two days ago, and employees write letters about the trash covering the grassy plain in front of Wilson and Card, K-ville doesn’t seem like the admissions-increasing media bonanza it used to be. However, as one student said at the forum last week, tenting can’t be easy. It’s supposed to be hard, to push you to your limits. You go through hell for two hours in heaven. The challenge DSG and the administration face in revising the rules for K-ville is one I wouldn’t want for myself. They have to balance the health and safety of students with a process that’s supposed to be difficult and a little dangerous, the academic integrity of a fantastic institution with a spirit that is as much a part of that institution as anything else. Troyer wants students to start tenting according to how much they want to get in the Carolina game, not because the K-ville rules make it most advantageous to start at a certain time. But K-ville rules work like election laws: People try to beat the system. K-ville poses an even more complicated problem than tailgate and will have an infinitely more complex solution. The final policy will be released Oct. 26. Here’s to hoping DSG handles the basketball tradition even better than they have the football one. —
