ESPNU Full Circle. Every single ESPN entity will devote itself to coverage of the ACC’s

marquee matchup.

“The ultimate goal is to docuthe game,” ESPN Director of New Media Content Len Mead said. “But now that we have all of these other platforms, it gives us a chance to try new things. We can use new angles and approaches without sacrificing overall game coverage.” The primary vehicle of coverage will still be television. ESPN will broadcast a traditional telecast in high definition featuring commentary from Brad Nessler and Dick Vitale. ESPN2 will also broadcast the contest in high definition, but the game action will be shown in its entirety from the “Above the Rim” cameras located on each of the two baskets. During deadball situations, the feed will revert to the normal sideline angle. “This is the first time we will have shown a game from this perspective,” Mead said. But the television broadcasts do not stop there. In honor of ESPNU’s first anniversary, the college sports channel will show Saturday’s game through a split-screen format—one side ment

PERFECT NO LONGER Duke drops Ist ACC contest amid hostile FSU crowd by

THE CHRONICLE

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida State’s victory over No.l Duke was so momentous that the Seminole faithful stormed the court not once, but twice in celebration. In a bizarre series of events, fans prematurely rushed the court after Greg Paulus fouled A1 Thornton with 1.7 seconds remaining in the game and the Seminoles ahead five. Several minutes later, the hundreds of students that had been celebrating at midcourt were cleared off the floor by security where they waited in anticipation of the Seminoles’ first upset of a No.l team since defeating Duke Jan. 6, 2003. After each team sunk a pair of free throws, the final seconds ticked off the clock and the fans rejoiced on the court once again. Florida State (18-8, 8-7 in the ACC) handed the Blue Devils (272, 14-1) their first conference loss SEE FSU ON PAGE 12

Not only is that the title of the African American art exhibit which opens Saturday, but the show is drawn from the personal collection of one of Duke’s own legends, former basketball player Grant Hill. Forty-six paintings, collages and sculptures selected from Hill’s 15 years of art collecting comprise the show, which has been touring the country since 2003. The tour began in Orlando, Fla., the home ofHill’s NBA Team, the Orlando Magic. Since then, the art has been displayed in five other cities.

Duke Student Government addressed some tough questions facing Duke’s transgender community Wednesday night. During a legislative body meeting, DSG passed a resolution to make single-use bathrooms gender-neutral in certain buildings on campus. In addition, the legislative body narrowly passed a resolution to increase awareness of the Patriot Act among students and faculty at the University. “It’s always important to address issues that students otherwise don’t have access to,” said senior Brandon Goodwin, DSG executive vice president. “It’s paramount that we tackle these issues because DSG should be an avenue for student interest that would not otherwise be heard.” Kerry Poynter, program coordinator at Duke’s Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Life, gave a special presentation about sexual orientation and gender identity. He focused on the term “transgender” and the difficulties transgender students face at Duke and other college campuses across the country. SEE DSG ON PAGE 6

Bush vows to find bin Laden

Saddam admits ordering 148 trials Bassem Mroue

BAGHDAD, Iraq Saddam Hussein said in a defiant courtroom confession Wednesday that he ordered the trial of 148 Shiites who were later executed, and arranged for the flattening of their palm groves and farms. But he insisted he had the right to do so because they were suspected of trying to kill him. “Where is the crime? Where is the crime?” Saddam asked. “If trying a suspect accused of shooting at a head of state—no matter what his name is—is considered a crime, then you have the head of state in

your hands. Try him.” The dramatic speech came a day after prosecutors presented the most direct evidence against Saddam in the four-month trial: a 1984 presidential decree approving the death sentences for the 148, with a signature said to be his. Saddam did not admit or deny approving their executions, but stated outright that he was solely responsible for their prosecution, adding that his seven co-defendants should be released. “If the chief figure makes things easy for you by saying he was the one responsible, then why are you going after these people?” he said.

The deaths of the Shiites are one of the main charges against the defendants, who could face execution by hanging—the same fate as most of the 148—ifconvicted. They are on trial also for torture and imprisonment of the Shiites, as well as the razing of their farmlands, in a crackdown launched after a July 8, 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam in the town of Dujail. The prosecution has argued the imprisonment and executions were illegal, saying the 148 were sentenced to death in an “imaginary trial” before Saddam’s RevoluSEE HUSSEIN ON PAGE 8

Senate approves Patriot Act curbs by

Laurie Kellman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate cleared the path Wednesday for renewing the USA Patriot Act, swatting aside objections while adding new protections for people targeted by government investigations. The overwhelming votes virtually assured that Congress will renew President George W. Bush’s anti-terror law before it expires March 10. The House was expected to pass the legislation Tuesday. The law’s opponents, who insisted the new protections were cosmetic, conceded defeat.

“The die has now been cast,” acknowledged the law’s chief opponent, Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., after the Senate

voted 84-15 to end his filibuster. “Obviously at this point, final passage of the reauthorization bill is now assured.” The overwhelming support for the renewal package holds great political value for Bush, who in 2001 made the Act the centerpiece of what has become a troubled war on terrorism. Underscoring its import are GOP plans already in the works to make sure nobody misses the point this midterm election year.

After the House gives its blessing, Re-

publicans are hoping to win a second day of coverage next Wednesday with a press conference by Speaker Dennis Hasten, R-111., and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. The package will receive a made-for-television enrollment—usually a routine administrative procedure in which a bill approved in both houses is prepared for the

manhunts.

Gretchen Doores

In today’s world, art is about more than justpaints and plasticine. Responding to the growth of new technologies in the arts, the art and art history department will be changing its name to the Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies. The name change will give the department a chance to move toward a more visually integrated future, said Hans Van Miegroet, professor of art history. “There was the realization that visual studies needs to become a part of our academic pursuits, and, since we are at the forefront, we are a department that has always been a part of that project,” he said. Visual studies is the analysis of culture through visual media such as film, photography and artistic design. Television, video games and comics can all be included in this description—but not in traditional art history. The name change comes as a part of a broader movement at Duke to enhance the visual arts. The recent draft of the Arts and Sciences Strategic Plan outlines the importance of creating a “visual culture” that plays a prominent role in campus life. The strategic plan includes the launch of a Visual Culture Strategic Initiative that will encourage collaborative efforts between departments that deal with visual media. New facilities such as the Nasher Museum of Art and the Art, Culture and Technology Warehouse offer comfortable spaces for students and faculty to explore art inside and outside the classroom, outgoing Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies Cathy Davidson wrote in an email. Upcoming projects in the facilities may include elements of graphic design,

Vandalized gate arms cost Duke about S2OK by

Kathryn Flavin THE CHRONICLE

A drive around campus Sunday morning is enough to reveal a prevalent problem in Duke’s parking lots: Each weekend parking gate arms need to be replaced because of vandalism or students trying to park illegally in gated lots. Duke Parking and Transportation shells out thousands of dollars each year to replace the broken gates. Since the beginning of the academic year, there have been more than 400 instances of broken parking gates on campus, said Cathy Reeve, director of parking and transportation. Ninety-two of the instances happened in January alone. Broken gates have cost Parking and Transportation about $20,000 in funds

But the problem was exacerbated by a failure in Duke University Library’s online server that occurred Sept. 11, 2005. The concurrent failure of its backup systems caused a loss of library records between July 21 and the crash. Even now, months later, some students are complaining about regularly seeking books in vain. “This is a norm,” said Sebastian Lukasik, a fourth-year graduate student. “It’s tremendously frustrating because I’m a grad student, so obviously I depend on the library.

Davidson also said the combined facilities can foster more collaborative work and encourage interdisciplinary interaction. Currendy there are a few visual and interdisciplinary classes available at Duke, such as “Image, Text and Visual Poetics,” taught by Deborah Pope, professor of English, and Merrill Shatzman, associate professor of the practice of visual arts. Such courses can bridge a scholarly and departmental gap, giving students a handson experience in two different, yet interrelated subjects, Davidson said. In accordance with the goal of the VCSI, a “Visiting Artist Series” has also been proposed to entice more artists who practice outside traditional genres to come to Duke. The annual series would bring artists to campus to teach workshops, short seminars and senior cornerstone courses. The plan also mentions a possible an-

nual Sophomore Class Visual Culture Event. The event would consist of a film, website, filmed performance or graphic book that would be given to rising sophomores to analyze. The author of the selection or someone who could interpret it would then come to campus to speak with students to fuel an artistic dialogue. “Arts and visual cultures are coming on the map, and for the first time you have a sense that Duke is serious about the arts,” Van Miegroet said. Davidson said events such as a Visualization Friday Forum with Rachael Brady, photonics engineer and associate professor of computer science, and Duke’s participation in April’s Full Frame Documentary Film Festival signal the growing importance of the visual arts on campus. The Art Warehouse recendy featured a multimedia collaboration between videomaker Bill Noland and composer Scott Lindroth, Davidson noted. Such projects are only a taste of things to come. “A great University doesn’t just teach facts or methods. It teaches us how to think with originality, vision and, occasionally, beauty,” she said.

Kerry Poynter of theLGBT Center gives a presentation on the challenges of transgender people on campus at Wednesday's DSG meeting.

DSG from page 1 Poynter said although transgender students often feel very closeted, the University can take steps to ameliorate their discomfort through changes in health care, residence halls, bathrooms, locker rooms and support systems. “Here at Duke University we have a lot of work to do understanding our transgender Duke students and employees,” Poynter said. He said one solution to the issue would be to create more single-occupant bathrooms on campus. The proposal was later addressed in a DSG resolution, which was drafted with the assistance of the Alliance of Queer Undergraduates at Duke, Duke Allies and the LGBT Center. The proposal consists of two parts. The first part involves the conversion of bathrooms by the LGBT Center into gender-neutral facilities by the end of Spring 2006. The second part entails a one-year plan to convert other single-use bathrooms in some academic spaces. Despite some concerns about the safety and cleanliness of gender-neutral restrooms, the resolution was largely approved. It passed by a vote of 34 to four. “I heard from one of the [executives] that LGBT issues haven’t been brought up in five years,” said sophomore Jeremy Marshall, one of the DSG senators who proposed the resolution and a Chronicle columnist.

Marshall noted that passing the resolution is only the first step in the process of raising awareness of LGBT concerns at the University. The Academic Affairs Committee also put forth a resolution to disseminate information about the PATRIOT Act on campus. Senator Samson Mesele, a freshman, suggested that notices be posted in the library to inform students of their rights. Several DSC members expressed concern that the notices would have negative effects. “People might not go into that section of the library,” said DSC Senator Michael Koler, a sophomore, after the meeting. Mesele said he does not believe this will be a problem. “I would not say that all students are going to grow some wild fear as a result of postings,” he said. Fifteen members of the DSC legislative body voted in favor of the resolution, eight opposed and seven abstained. Senior Brenda Bautsch, DSC vice president of athletics and campus services, announced that Duke won the ACC canned food drive with 20,000 pounds offood.

and backup systems have been put in place to improve the system, Gomes said. Every once in a while, Ferguson said, students approach the reference desk to report books they cannot find. She said, however, that the problem has decreased as the year has progressed. Librarians still comb through the stacks the old-fashioned way when books appear to be missing. But moving the University’s collection from Perkins Library —which is undergoing renovations—to Bostock Library has further complicated the shelving of books, students noted. At this point, missing books are not necessarily related to the server glitch, Gomes said. “Shelf failure is a problem, and it is an issue that the library is working very hard to eliminate,” he explained. “In some cases, because we have open stacks, items are misshelved by patrons.” Ferguson explained that sometimes missing books are not really missing but simply misplaced. “The whole thing with the library is we have 5 million books,” she said. “It’s possible to go upstairs and find something is missing, and it’s just because someone is using it in another part of the library, or it’s on a table somewhere.” While some students complained of constant problems finding books, others noted only minor problems and said they view them as slight inconveniences. “I’ve had some minor difficulties finding things,” said Travis Simons, a first-year Divinity School student. “It could be from construction or the rearranging of books. I don’t see it as such a drastic problem.” Sophomore Joshua Kazdin said he sometimes has difficulty relying on the online catalog. ‘You go online, it says owned/not-out, and it’s not there,” he said. “Out of the last five times that I’ve looked for books, three of them have not been there.” Whatever troubles he and others have faced, however, Lukasik complimented the staff of the library for handling it well. “They’re quite good about clearing up misconceptions and misunderstandings. I’ve always found them very cooperative and accommodating,” he said. “It takes the edge off, somewhat, [of] the inconvenience.”

had no bruises the next day. Nothing.” The gates are purposefully designed to break to avoid damaging the gates’ motor systems, Reeve said. Each motor system costs about $3,000 to purchase and install. “The best case scenario is that only the arm will need to be replaced rather than parts [within the motor system],” she said. “It costs about $5O per gate [to repair].” Gate arms are broken so often that the repair staff cuts and paints its own gate arms to keep costs at a minimum, Reeve added. Reeve said the administration could replace wooden gate arms with stronger metal ones, but doing so could cause more expensive damage to the gate mechanism if one tampers with an arm. “Metal gates are designed so they bend, which causes more damage,” Reeve said. “The gates break away for a reason. When you break a gate, you do more damage than just breaking the wooden arm.” Despite the severity of the problem, there are currently no specific plans to more aggressively seek out parking gate vandals, said Sara-Jane Raines, administrative services executive officer for the Duke University Police Department. “It is very difficult for Campus Police to catch violators unless there is a witness,” she said. Although it has been rumored that cameras in the Blue Zone can be used to catch violators, Raines said they currendy are not used for that purpose, and it does not seem likely that they will be in the near future. “Protecting lives and people is our number one priority,” she said. “Protecting property is a second priority.”

ACT from page 2 deadline Friday. The fanfare comes after a two-month standoff in which Feingold had succeeded in blocking a HouseSenate compromise that would renew 16 major provisions of the law that are set to expire next week. Unable to overcome his objection by a Dec. 31 expiration date, Congress instead postponed the deadline twice while negotiations continued. The White House and GOP leaders finally broke the stalemate by crafting a second measure—in effect an amendment to the first —that would somewhat limit the government’s power to compel people targeted in terror probes to give information. That second measure passed overwhelmingly Wednesday, 95-4. Voting ‘no’ with Feingold were Sens. Jim Jeffords, IVt., Tom Harkin, D-lowa, and the Senate’s constitutional expert, Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va. The second measure added new protections to the 2001 anti-terror law in three areas. It would: —Give recipients of court-approved subpoenas for information in terrorist investigations the right to challenge a requirement that they refrain from telling anyone. —Eliminate a requirement that an individual provide the FBI with the name of a lawyer consulted about a National Security Letter, which is a demand for records issued by investigators. —Clarify that most libraries are not subject to demands in those letters for information about suspected terrorists. Feingold and his allies complained that the restrictions on government power would be virtually meaningless in practice. Though small, his group offour objectors represented progress for Feingold. In 2001, he cast the lone vote against the original Patriot Act, citing concerns over the new powers it granted the FBI. The package’s authors cast Wednesday’s vote in pragmatic terms. “Both bills represent a vast improvement over current law,” said the author of the new curbs, Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H. “I am disappointed in this result,” said Feingold, a possible Democratic presidential candidate. “But I believe this fight has been worth making.” With that, he began reading the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Then he left the chamber. Feingold later returned to read resolutions from eight states expressing concerns about the Patriot Act. Barring last-minute problems in the House, the package was expected to land on Bush’s desk for his signature before the expiration next week. Despite the legislation’s advance, deep misgivings remained even among the law’s chief supporters. “While we have made some progress, much is left to be done,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who voted for the Sununu bill. He and Judiciary Committee Chair Arlen Specter, RPa., were co-sponsoring new legislation and hearings on the Patriot Act. Their bill would make the government satisfy a higher threshold for warrantiess wiretaps and would set a fouryear expiration date for the use of National Security Letters in terrorism investigations.

HUSSEIN from page 2 denary Court where the defendants did not even appear.

The crackdown, they argued, went far beyond the actual attackers. They have presented documents that show entire families—including women and children as young as three months old—were ar-

rested, tortured and held for years.

Those executed included at least 10 juveniles, one as young as 11, according to the documents. The five judges will be able to take Saddam’s confession into account when they rule in the case. It will be up to them to decide whether Saddam’s actions were illegal, since there is no jury. After Wednesday’s session, the trial was adjourned to March 12. The often turbulent trial has become more orderly in the past two sessions under the new chief judge, Raouf AbdelRahman, who broke a defense team boycott and clamped down on outbursts, shouted insults and arguments by Saddam and other defendants. The discipline could boost the trial’s credibility, which U.S. and Iraqi officials hope will encourage Iraq’s sharply divided Shiites and Sunnis to accept the verdict. But outside the courtroom, those divisions have become only bloodier. Nearly 100 people have been killed in the past two days in sectarian violence. The trial is also beginning to tackle the core of the case against the defendants, as prosecutors presented a series of documents—memos, decrees and reports from Saddam’s office and the Mukhabarat intelligence agency—detailing the bureaucracy behind the crackdown. The prosecution played Wednesday an audiotape of Saddam discussing the razing of the Dujail farms with a Baath Party official in the early 1990 and showed satellite

photos of the flattened land. Chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi showed the court handwritten letters allegedly sent by three of the defendants days after the assassination attempt, informing on Dujail families linked to the Dawa Party, a Shiite opposition militia accused in the attack. At least 18 of the people named in the letters, sent to the Interior Ministry, were later sentenced to death. Al-Moussawi said the three men therefore had a direct role in their deaths. “May my hand be cut off if I gave information against anyone,” said defendant Ali Dayih, who allegedly wrote one of the letters. “It’s all a frame-up.” Two other defendants—Abdullah Kazim Ruwayyid and his son Mizhar, who, like Dayih, were said to be local Dujail officials from Saddam’s Baath Party—denied the handwriting on the letters was their own. Saddam stood to defend the men, saying that even if the letters were authentic, they were simply notifying authorities. “This was an informing operation, like any policeman when he tells something to his station or any citizen who sees or hears [a crime],” he said. The prosecutor presented lists of vehicles that transported 399 Dujail detainees from a Baghdad facility to a desert prison in southern Iraq in 1984. Each handwritten list included the number of the vehicle, the driver’s name, and the names and ages of the prisoners carried in them—2s to 40 of them in each vehicle. The names included entire families—women with daughters and sons below the age of 10, even the name of a threemonth-old girl. The defendants listened silently as the documents were shown. When they wanted to make a point, they raised their hands, then waited patiently until AbdelRahman let them speak.

Small films take center stage Brian McGinn recess Stars will once again sweep their way across the Academy Awards’ famed red carpet Sunday while all of Los Angeles (and much of America) watches. It will be, without a doubt, Us Weekly's favorite event of 2006. But while George Clooney’s vintage buttons and whatever racy dress Scarlett Johannson wears will be the talk of the town, the real stories of the evening will have already been told and seen: they are found in the films of the past year. In 2005, “big issues” took center stage in film and Good Night and GoodLuck tackled American political issues, Munich took on international ones; Brokeback Mountain checked homosexuality off the list, and Crash covered racial conflict. Even foreign films like Paradise Now, Munich’s topical step-brother, asked important questions about the state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This year Hollywood has found significant profits in small-budget features like Brokeback Mountain and Crash. This, combined with a longstanding Oscar tradition of awarding box-office success, makes this year’s nominees unsurprising, said Sasha Stone, webmaster of OscarWatch.com, a website devoted to year-round Oscar coverage. Crash, for example, has grossed more than $5O million on a $6.5-million budget, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. King Kong, on the other hand, grossed $216 million on a $207-million budget. The difference in net profit is extreme. “It has been a year when the big studio Hollywood films didn’t scratch the itch [of the American public],” Stone wrote in an e-mail. “They covered topics no one really cares about right now; Geisha girls, giant apes and Cinderella men.” But Stone believes it’s not only a lack of interesting Hollywood fare that has made the Academy turn to smaller films. “The political atmosphere made them feel like [the nominated films] all had to be about something,” she said. And politics are everywhere in this year’s Oscars not only in the nominated films but also in the choice of host.

He has often made public statements decrying Christianity, and many of Sol Evil’s songs address the same topic. Typical lyrical topics range from the destruction of Christianity to Satan taking over the world. “Christianity has endlessly attempted to annihilate the sanctity of individuality,” Shipley explained. “I stand against all things not defended by logic and reason. Christianity is based on mindless obedience, blind faith and a myriad of rules calling for humbleness and servitude. I’d rather be the master than the slave.” Sol Evil’s website states that Shipley, who goes by Lord Mordor on stage, created the band in order to “promote violence, evil, Satanism and to destroy Christianity and all white light religions.”

This week, the Chinese government announced a radical plan. To get Beijing, China’s capital city, ready for the 2008 Olympic Games, it will be stepping up its patrol of public spitting. Outfitting “anti-spit” volunteers with bright orange uniforms emblazoned with the Chinese character representing “mucus” and offering lessons in proper spitting (into a spit bag), the Chinese government may have officially gone off the deep end. To be completely honest, recess can’t imagine any situation in which it would listen to a garishly dressed human with the word “mucus” tatooed on his chest, and recess thinks there isn’t really a person on the planet who would disagree.

Who knows, and cares. The more important question is: what would Puke do if President Richard Brodhead inserted an antispitting policy into a sandwich of his obscure SAT vocabulary? Would we revolt? I believe we would, for three reasons: 1. Watermelon seeds: these are delicious and extremely American. If spitdng was made illegal, how would we enjoy our summer treats? In a Locopop? Sure, recess would eat such a yum-yum—but I want my watermelon in its proper form, and that’s gonna require a ptooey here and there. 2. Sickness; like watermelons, sickness requires spitting.

Between papers and parties, Nielsen looks to find out what Duke is watching FROM

PAGE

starting in 2007 it will include college students away from home in its national elevision ratings. For networks such as MTV, the WB and ESPN, which already target collegeaged viewers, the initiative is a welcome change. “The goal in broadcast television is to capture as many eyeballs as you can,” said Dounia Turrill, je president of research at the WB. “As a network that targets young adults, this is definitely a positive turn for us.” The Nielsen decision was a result of a successful two-year pilot program sponsored by the WB, Turner Broadcasting, CBS, MTV, Fox and ESPN. Nielsen spent the first year of the program installing viewing-measuring devices called people meters on college campuses around the country. The second year was devoted to figuring out how to incorporate these new findings into the overall ratings. The pilot program discovered that college students living away from home watched an average of 24.3 hours of television per week during the 2004-2005 season. This finding was especially influential in demonstrating the importance of adding this demographic to the national ratings, said David Poltrack, CBS executive vice president. “Right now, the assumption is that once these young people leave their homes, they stop watching TV, but of course, that’s not the case,” he said. “This is the first step in capturing the viewing activity of this audience.” Nielsen estimates that including college viewers could increase viewing levels of the 18-24 group by 3 to 12 percent and increase ratings for individual programs by as much as a full point. With more attention cast in the direction ofcollege TV viewers, some speculate networks may develop more programming targeted to this demographic.

m NBC

CBS programming will likely be unchanged, said Pol track. Ratings increases probably won’t be large enough to influence large broadcast networks, but may hold more weight with cable channels like Comedy Central or MTV, he said. While that may be true for primetime hours, ABC Media Representative Jeffrey Lindsey mentioned the possibility of an increase in targeted programming for late-night or daytime slots. And even if the changes don’t create new programs, they might have the potential to save some old favorites, said senior Tony Tompson. “Shows like Arrested Development and Family Guy, which are very popular with college students but seem to often struggle in the ratings game, will have a boost that should keep them on the air longer.” Other students, however, pointed to the rising popularity of non-traditional television viewing habits as taking away from the initiative’s impact. “The fact that Nielsen is now considering college students in their ratings won’t really matter long-term since that’s not the future of television anyway,” said senior Josh Owen. With the availability of TIVO, Video-On-Demand and internet downloading sites—both network-sanctioned (Apple iTunes) and non-network sanctioned—and the short turnaround time for TV series DVDs, many college students are able to design TV schedules to fit their lives, instead of vice versa. Sitting and flipping through channels might expose viewers to more new programs, but it’s hardly productive, said senior On-Demand subscriber Howard Carolan. “It’s worth a couple bucks a month to me to watch the programs I want to watch every time and in an efficient way.”

I’d like to have some of the pieces in my home and in my office, and to enjoy them myself for a little while, and to be a little selfish in that regard. Your main interest is in collecting work done by African American artists. Do you feel that African American art is underrated in the art world? Does that have anything to do with why you collect? That’s not the reason why. I think the genre is somewhat under-appreciated. I think for me, it’s that I was a history major, and I really enjoyed studying African American history. Recently I’ve looked at when I started collecting as sort of an extension of what I learned in school and what was fascinating for me while I was in school.

Right now I’m still looking for the African American masters. I’m still relatively young, so I look forward to seeing where this takes me. I look forward to developing and collecting art and styles from other genres. But it will be interesting to see where it goes. At this point I have no idea. Do you know of any other NBA players that have unexpected hobbies? Wow. I know Chris Webber actually collects African American artifacts. I know he has a variety of different things. There are players that are art collectors, as well—Elliot Perry, Ray Allen. The interesting thing is that a lot of players actually have hobbies that are considered outside of the box for professional athletes and unfortunately a lot of those guys do not get the attention for it. And I think sometimes guys are a little scared to share that. Hopefully this experience will make it cool.

I look at a lot of art. It’s as simple as what stands out. I’ve turned down more than I’ve been able to purchase. I’ve been fortunate because I have the means to be able to purchase this collection together, but... I’m not looking for certain artists. I know you work with a curator, Alvia Wardlaw. What is that process like? Do you come up with a vision and find what you like, and then she helps you acquire it? Does she suggest art and artists to you? Dr. Wardlaw was in the same gradualing class at Wellesley as my mother. I like to say she’s known my mother longer than I have. The collection was already put together and these pieces were already in my possession when we got together. Then, we thought ofher as the ideal person in terms of curating this particular tour. I since have taken advantage of her knowledge and expertise and asked for her opinions and

tory, Hill said. “It’s important for all people to see people of all races who are successful in the arts, and on display in a museum. It’s another avenue to speak to young boys and girls.” One lithograph by Catlett, Singing Our Songs, was inspired by the poem “For My People” by Margaret Walker. The lithograph is split into a grid, with each segment depicting an individual, who is either singing or speaking, set against a red, white and blue background. Hill said the piece evokes the spirit of demonstration central to the civil rights movement. Another Catlett piece explores the themes of family and community. Mother and Child is a pair of onyx sculptures that depicts a child in the arms of its mother. The child is at once resting in the safety of the mother’s arms and straining to break free. The exhibit includes work by renowned African American artist Romare Bearden, whose art is also featured in a separate exhibit opening Saturday. Hill, the NBA’s number one draft pick in 1994, said he did not originally plan to display his art publicly but hopes that by doing so he can expose different communities to art they would not otherwise see. Duke University Press published a book about the exhibit that includes full-color reproductions of each of the works. Hill said he hopes the book can be another avenue for teaching people about African American art. Next to each reproduction is a note from Hill about what the artwork means to him or to the African American community. The book also contains essays by Hill, Hill’s father (Calvin Hill, one-time Dallas Cowboys running back), men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and Duke Professor Emeritus John Hope Franklin. Hill is donating his portion of the book’s profits to museums. A member ofDuke’s back-to-back 1991 and 1992 championship teams, Hill has collected art since his days as a

Wardlaw helped put together the exhibit, visiting Duke earlier this year to help plan the installation, said Anne Schroder, associate curator at the Nasher.

“When we conceived this project, it was to us to have this exhibition stand on the same level as every other exhibition at the Nasher,” senior Victoria Trout said, who with fellow seniors Margaret Di Giulio, Alicia Garcia and Christine Wang made up the student team. “We should be held to the same standard.” But without the support of the Nasher, Trout said, the show would have never materialized. Associate Curator Anne Schroder, the coodinating curator for the event, acted on behalf of the Nasher as guru for all things technical. Since the inception of “Conjuring Bearden,” she has written letters requesting the loans, arranged for the art’s shipment to Durham and worked to devise the special events slated to accompany the show, The students were not physically in the museum during the process, so the task fell to museum staff to bring everything together, Schroder said. ‘You have to have a professional staff person overseeing production,” But the students’ work extended far beyond research assistance, beyond simply scouring the library for biographical information. They penned scholastic essays for the exhibition catalogue and wrote display

“So much energy has gone into this— it’s a contribution to scholarship,” Schroder said. “They’ve done some very creative work.” As part of the process, the team traveled to New York to speak with Bearden’s family and scholars at the Bearden Foundation. “There have been so many shows done on Bearden generally, I think it was great for the family to see a new perspective—student interest on a grassroots level,” Garcia said. The show features a few pieces yet unseen by the public, including several watercolors the group found unframed at the

Xhis weekend Duke presents fresh new theater with the world premiere of the play Joy, Delirious. Colin Crowe, a Trinity senior, finishes her Duke career with a bang, watching her full-length play realized on the stage. Crafting the play since August, Crowe said she is excited to see her work finally performed. “It’s been a great process and I’ve really enjoyed seeing the characters come to life.” Directed by senior Vanessa Rodriguez, Joy is the first student-written production of the year for Duke Players, which usually waits until later in the semester to feature such work. Joy is the story of a college freshman, Joy, whose mother dies while she is away at school. When she returns home for Christmas and finds her family still dealing with the tragedy, Joy tries to help them while keeping her own life together, Crowe said. “I think the play has a good deal to say about family and will make people laugh as

Bearden Foundation Garcia said finding those works was a thrill for the entire curatorial team. “They laid this folder flat on the floor and showed us [the watercolors]. The colors were so explosive—it was such a rush to see them,” she said. “As they were pulling each of the boards out of the envelopes, we were just gasping.” Garcia’s essay for the catalogue focuses specifically on die watercolor series, done while Bearden was living in the Caribbean. “It’s a change of form, because everyone knows [Bearden] for his collages,” she said. “The local influence really echoes the subject very well—you have these amazing swirling women, showing a spiritual possession.” Bayou Fever, another series the group discovered in New York, is a collage-oncardboard storyboard for a ballet. Comprised of more than a dozen works, it contains pieces that were kept in manila envelopes at the foundation headquarters until they were framed for “Conjuring Bearden.” Neither the watercolors nor Bayou Fever were included in the National Gallery of Art’s 2003 exhibition on Bearden, now on a nationwide tour. “Conjuring Bearden” will also contribute the exhibit catalogue, another student-staff hybrid work. The four students spent the fall semester working on their catalogue essays under Powell’s tutelage. “This is an opportunity for the students to work closely with someone who has a lot of experience and a lot of connections,” Schroder said, calling the final product exquisite: iK lt’s just astounding what they’ve been able to achieve in such a short period of time.” The show will share gallery space with another exhibition celebrating Africah American artists. The exhibit, “Something All Our Own,” is made up of pieces from former Duke basketball player Grant Hill’s personal art collection. Because the two

Trout said her catalogue essay, focusing on themes of urbanity in Bearden’s work, actually highlights a piece found not in “Conjuring Bearden,” but in “Something All Our Own.” Trout said that the entire experience, from researching the works to writing the essay, was unlike anything most college students get to experience. “It culminated when we walked into the gallery the other day and all the pieces were just sitting there,” she said. “We did this work, and there it is, ready to go on the wall.”

and Michel Gondry (the visionary French director ofEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) team up to bring what is ostensibly a concert documentary called Dave Chappelle’s Block Party. Lucky for us, ChappeUe and Gondry have created something considerably more compelling—an incisive, explosive and hilarious cultural body blow and socially conscious slugfest featuring hip-hop’s best and brightest: Kanye West, John Legend, Common, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Puesdove and Talib Kweli. To be clear, this is not ChappeUe Show: the Movie—there’s much more going on here. Nevertheless, Dave ChappeUe serves as the anchor of the film, maintaining a steady stream of merciless yet light-hearted low-brow humor that keeps the film from ever getting too self-inflated. ChappeUe is the organizing work-horse behind the actual block party, which went down September 18, 2004, in Brooklyn’s blue collar Bedford-Stuyvesant (a.k.a. “Bed-Stuy”). ChappeUe calls it “the concert I’ve always wanted to see.” And it’s hard to disagree with him. The documentary begins a few days before the concert, with ChappeUe in Dayton, Ohio recruiting the Central State University marching band to perform and passing out Willy Wonka-style golden tickets to the concert to random passersb\>. including several elderly white women (some of whom end up attending the concert and having a blast—a cute, yet sincere effort at racial harmony amidst a sea of black vs. white jokes). Once Chappelle finishes his cirive-by advertising and reaches his destination, the party finally unleashes a torrent on stage with the likes of Blackstar (side project of Mos Def and Talib Kweli) and Kanye West, featuring Common and Puesdove. Interestingly, the highlight of this portion of the documentary was the bite of underground political rap duo

Cache, considered by some critics the best film the of year, is not eligible for the Best Foreign Language Film category because of a loophole—it’s submitted as an Austrian film, but since its dialogue is in French, it cannot be eligible as an Austrian film. *Adding to the Foreign Film absurdity, Oscar voters must see each of the foreign film nominees in theaters, not on so-called “screeners,” DVDs or VHS tapes sent to voters’ homes for easier viewing of the main nominees. *Critics pushing their agendas are getting out of control. Roger Ebert has published multiple columns in favor of Crash, while Kenneth Turan of the L.A. Times has written in favor of Munich. It’s time to sit back and remember that critics never agree with AMPAS members, so critics should keep their focus on reviewing Aquamarine and Shaggy Dog. *

The real treat of the documentary, however, is the appearance of Lauryn Hill (along with her slightly less-interesting bandmates, the reunited Fugees).

It’s up to Christians to make Christianity sound more interesting, but historically, Christianity has prevailed over something like Satanism.” Despite this assurance, Wells said that he understands why some people would turn to Satanism. “For some reason, when people stop believing in God, they still believe in evil,” he said. “We live in a culture that advocates the isolation of individuals and that individuals are strong and in control.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —With 15.2 seconds to play, Florida State forward Andrew Wilson lay sprawled on his stomach banging the floor with his hands, his goateed lips split open in a gigantic grin. His Seminole team led 76-72, and a sell-out crowd was preparing to raucous 031116 rush the court—the big bad Dukies were analysis all but dead. The look on his face said it all: this win made Florida State’s season From the start, the Seminoles played like they knew this was a must-have game —a signature victory over the Blue Devils would make their case for an NCAA Tournament bid that much stronger. Wilson spent nearly as much time skidding across the floor as he did upright, and Florida State finished the game with huge advantages in almost every hustle statistic. the first half They grabbed 20 offensive boards—l to Duke’s 16. They had a 6-3 edge in steals and won the turnover battle, 17-11. On offense, they attacked the basket over and over, drawing 30 Blue Devil fouls and shooting 40 free throws. They won the game despite shooting just 35 percent—more than nine percent lower than Duke. “They’re scrappy,” Blue Devil guard DeMarcus Nelson said of the Seminoles. “Any team that we play you might as well throw their record out the window because they’re not going to play like their record against u5....

in every single game. But the gulf in motivation for this game was striking. For the Seminoles, it was a senior night game in front of a packed house with the potential to make or break their tournament hopes. For a Blue Devil team that had already clinched the ACC regular-season championship, the game was all but meaningless —just another road game in front of another crowd that seemingly had never wanted anything more than a win over top-ranked Duke. “We’re going to be the number one seed in the ACC Tournament regardless,” guard JJ. Redick said after the game, before adding that the team still wanted to play well in every game. That attitude—which at this point in the season is one the Blue Devils have earned the right to have—showed, especially in the first half. “I thought, over the game, their effort was at a higher level than ours,” Redick said. “Turnovers and defensive rebounding for us in the first half was very sub-par—we already had double-digit turnovers and they had doubledigit offensive rebounds.” From the opening tip until 3:30 remained in the first half, Duke played about as poorly as a team can play. The Blue Devils failed to even attempt a shot on their first three possessions and wound up turning the ball over 11 times in the game’s first 16:30. Redick was shooting just 2-for-10 and Allsee

The women’s tennis team was victorious over Wake Forest in its first ACC match of the season Wednesday, 5-2, at the Ambler Tennis Stadium. The win was especially sweet for the No. 7 Blue Devils (6-2, 1-0 in the ACC), who had their 16year win streak over the No. 20 Demon Deacons (6-2, 0-1) snapped last season. “It was complete, sweet revenge, said Jackie Carleton, who played at the second singles spot. “To beat Wake after losing 6-1 [last year] was a good confidence builder.” As they did Sunday against Northwestern, Carleton and her doubles partner, Kristin Cargill, won the deciding match to capture the doubles point. In singles, Carleton, who is ranked 34th nationally, won her match 6-3, 6-4, to secure Duke’s team victory. Though Carleton won in straight sets, the last set was close. Carleton was up 5-3 when her opponent, No. 49 Ashlee Davis, slammed an overhead into the net, bringing the score to 40-30 and giving Carleton a match point. After a long baseline rally, the senior lost the point, as well as three other match points in the game. Davis finally won the game, running Carleton off the court with a powerful baseline winner, bringing the score to 5-4. Carleton took advantage of her second opportunity, however. She held serve without dropping a point, clinching the win for the Blue Devils. “I assumed I’d be the one to clinch

For the second game in a row, the Blue Devils were walloped on the road, giving up an astounding 17 runs. Wednesday, Duke (4-8) couldn’t even manage a run, Q DUKE losing 17-0 at UNC-WilmingUNC-W 17 ton. The Blue Devils are now 0-4 away from Jack Coombs Field and have given up 17 or more runs in three of those defeats. The Seahawks dominated in all phases of the game, scoring 17 runs on 15 hits while limiting Duke to a meager two hits in the shutout. Brett Braxton (2-0) pitched seven innings for UNC-W (7-3), allowing only one hit and striking out a career-high twelve batters in his first start of the year. The Blue Devils didn’trecord a hit offBraxton until Brett Bardes’ seventh-inning single. The Seahawks’ offense scored early and often, sparked by catcher Chris Hatcher’s 6-for-6, 6 RBI day. UNC-W blew open the game with a nine-run 7th inning, marking the second straight day Duke has yielded a nine-run frame. Senior Daniel Palmer suffered the loss for the Blue Devils, allowing four earned runs in two-plus innings.

of the season, 79-74. With just more than a minute remaining, Seminole forward Alexander Johnson sealed Shelden Williams in the low post. He received a pass, faked both ways and nailed a baby hook that gave Florida State a two-point advantage, 74-72. After DeMarcus Nelson missed the front end of a one-and-one, the Seminoles worked the ball inside to Johnson again. As he went up for a shot with 27 seconds remaining, Williams was whistled for his fifth and final foul. Johnson made both free throws to give the Seminoles a four-point lead that Duke could not overcome. “We had our opportunities in the last couple minutes,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We had some open looks that our kids just didn’t hit and Florida State’s kids did.” Poor shooting doomed the Blue Devils down the stretch, as both JJ. Redick and Nelson missed three-pointers with less than two minutes to play. Redick struggled from the field for the third consecutive game, shooting just 10-for-28. Several Duke players were accosted during the first celebration, as Seminole fans tugged at the Blue Devils’ jerseys or yelled in their faces on the way to the frenzy at half-court. Although Redick said the atmosphere was no worse than what the team has faced in other road losses during his career, the chaos was enough to convince Krzyzewski to usher his team to safety before the games completion. After Redick hit the two technical foul shots that were assessed in reaction to Florida State players leaving the bench during the celebration, Krzyzewski left five reserves to wait out the final moments while the remainder of the Duke team and staff retreated to the locker room. “[With] guys running onto the court, [Krzyzewski] wanted to get the big-name guys off the court so they wouldn’t have anything happen to them,” reserve forward Patrick Johnson said. Thornton buried both of his free throws with 1.7 seconds left, leading to the

final 79-74 margin. “We weren’t going to win the basketball game, it was basically over, so why put those kids in harms way?” said Krzyzewski of his decision to pull his players off the court before time had expired. “Obviously when a crowd rushes while they’re still time left on the clock, you have to be very concerned.... It’s an unfortunate situation and let the powers that be handle it the way they want to handle it, in front of everybody though, not behind closed doors.” Florida State’s victory was an important statement for the Seminoles, who are in fifth place in the ACC standings with one game to play. With a win over the top team in the nation, both Krzyzewski and Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton feel the Seminoles have proved they are an NCAA Tournament-caliber team. “There is something special in this team,” Hamilton said. “We’re anxious now to see if we can step it up a notch now after we’ve had some success. That will give us an opportunity to evaluate how far we’ve come as a program.”

American forward Shelden Williams was just l-for-6. As a team, Duke had made just 32 percent of its shots up to that point and had yet to make a three-pointer. Still, they trailed just 31-19, in large part because Florida State was shooting 34.4 percent. They even closed the half on a 14-5 spurt to cut the deficit to three going into the locker room. The way Duke played for most of the

knew it. If the Blue Devils had come back to win this game—and they could have if a few more shots had fallen at the end—it would have been another example of a classic Duke escape on the road against a hostile crowd and a more motivated opponent. To suggest that a Mike Krzyzewskicoached team would give anything less than full effort in any game would be foolish. But sometimes, the old cliche about giving 110 percent can ring true. And last

After Seminole fans rushed the court, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski ushered his stars off the court.

night, the Seminoles gave the Blue Devils

more than their best shot. More than anything else, Duke’s loss was about the Seminoles rising to the occasion against a Blue Devil team that had very little to gain or lose Wednesday night. “The respect we have for them, I think brought the best out of our players tonight,” Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton said. “We knew from the beginning that we had to play our very, very best in order to be successful tonight, and our kids stepped up.”

will feature the normal game feed while the other will employ cameras focused solely on the student section. The Cameron Crazies will be shown for the entire game from angles both within the stands and of the raucous students. “As hard as it will be, we’re going to try to convey the energy in the building,” Mead said. “We’re going to try to show some of the action from their perspective.... You. might be looking through some arms waving or be watching the game from behind a guy in a blue wig.” The coverage continues outside of the two hours during the game as well. ESPN has featured a “top-five” moment from the classic rivalry each night this week on SportsCenter and there is currently a poll on ESPN.com to decide the best game in the history of the rivalry. The winning game will be shown on ESPN Classic immediately following the live broadcast. The morning of the game, ESPN College Gameday, featuring Duke alumnus Jay Bilas, will be broadcast from

Rrzyzewskiville. “They will be right out in front of Cameron,” Mead said of the Gameday crew. “With the tents of Rrzyzewskiville in the background, we hope there will be a lively student turnout.” Extending the scope of Gameday, ESPN2 will set up its own pregame show in Chapel Hill—the first time ESPN has

ever broadcast a pregame show from the road team’s campus, Mead said. On ESPN36O, the network’s customized broadband service, there are already several features about the rivalry. A one-hour documentary about K-ville is currently available and will be shown on ESPN2 later this week. The online service will also telecast the game live and feature in-depth statistics not shown on regular television. The network hopes to implement a similar multimedia approach to several sporting events in the future at both the professional and collegiate levels, Mead said. He could not pinpoint a dollar figure for the entire operation, but said each arm of the project, from Mobile ESPN to ESPN International, is devoting a piece of its budget to the game. “As we started talking to people at other ESPN platforms—we talked to guys at ESPN Radio, ESPN wireless, Mobile ESPN—everybody is excited about a game like this,” Mead said. “It made sense to bring all of them together. But the challenge is to make sure every platform is something extra.... Everyone is bringing something different and new to the table.”

The University has not announced a complete plan of its intentions for the properties, but it has implied that students will not remain the renters for much longer. Duke will honor currently signed leases, but after that, it hopes to sell the houses to people who will live in them rather than rent them out. Even students who have already signed leases will have the option to defect. Many of these houses are zoned to legally allow only three people to occupy them, but students regularly live with five and six people. Duke has already stated that it will stringendy en-

large-scale parties occur, neighbors will be upset. The advantage of housing the par-

ties adjacent to campus was that at least the neighbors were aware of their proximity to a college when they moved in. The town-gown relation issues might now simply be disseminated over a larger area. Still, there is a chance that with the closing of this social outlet, some parties and drinking might move back on campus. The stringent no-underage-drinking policy has slackened slightly in the past year. If it has loosened enough, perhaps some students will venture to West Campus instead ofinto town. This marks the end of another chapter of Duke’s social life. The question is: When is Duke going to publically address this evolution with students?

The problem —for both students and administrators is that the parties hosted in those house will not simply disappear. They will move.

With that kind of migration will come dangers of students wandering through potentially unsafe areas and the increased temptation of drunk driving. No matter where the

3 Duke Dining Pro progress does not have to the reinvent wheel in its search. Two food service providers have made good on providing high quality food at reasonable prices at peer institutions. Now it is time to bring them to Duke. Meriwether-Godsey would bring a positive change to the Marketplace. Based in Lynchburg, Va., MG is family owned and thus not tied down by stifling corporate protocols, unlike ARAMARK or Sodexho USA. MG’s relatively small size, however, should not reflect poorly on its ability to service Duke’s East Campus. Its steady growth since 1985 to 27 contracts in 30 locations, including 11 residential campuses, reflects its commitment to food quality first. They do not follow the predatory business models of ARAMARK or Sodexho, which have received poor reviews from students and administrators at various campuses because they prioritize cutting costs and buying out competitors over great food and service. MG also has a policy of buying local, fresh produce wherever possible and seeks out contracts with local farmers. If you think the Nasher Cafe, Mad Hatter’s and The Refectory are great, imagine an expanded dining hall with a greater variety of options on a daily basis. Finally, if MG’s work at other campuses is any indication, it would make Students Against Sweatshops’ job a whole lot easier. Not only does MG have experience working with unions, but its employee retention rate is 74 percent—unheard of in the industry. The ideal replacement for the Great Hall is a larger, national food service provider, Bon Appetit. Like MG, Bon Appetit has a commitment to serving local, high quality foods and has experience at many comparable universities. Ironically, Sodexho ran at least two of those universities—Case Western Reserve University and Washington University—before those schools dumped the contracts in the face of flagging food quality and service. The fact that

to a decentralized, site-specific corporate structure over one that dictates from the top down speaks to mounting evidence that bigger is not better. Washington University is currendy in its eighth year with BA, after renewing the company’s five-year contract. According to Marilyn Pollack, Washington University’s director of dining services, “We have been very happy with Bon Appetit.... Student feedback has been very positive overall.” That’s impressive considering that BA’s main campus location the Food Court—serves 3,000 meals a day. Pollack emphasized that part of BA’s attraction has been its commitment to fresh and local foods. The company has a policy of getting as much of its produce from within 150 miles. Furthermore, everything is made on-site. That means, for example, that turkey is carved in the dining area, rather than

being shipped in prefabricated. BA could also easily take over ARAMARK’s other contracts, such as Subway and Chick-Fil-A. At Washington University, BA runs all dining operations except for one. Granted, I am not for monopolies and I think competition among various food providers is good, but it is worth noting that BA’s near monopoly at Washington does not seem to negatively impact service. Beth Nochomovitv, director of auxiliary services at Case Western, almost entirely echoed the sentiments of Pollack. While she admits that BA got off to a bit of a rocky start when it first took over from Sodexho a year ago, she noted that the quality of food and service have steadily improved as BA has adapted to the location. “They’re working hard to get fresh and local produce,” she said. “They do a fantastic job [with meals]. They try very hard to change things up.” Sophomore Neil Ursic, vice president of development for the Undergraduate Student Government at Case Western, said that through his surveys of other campuses, the “food quality [at CWRU] is high compared to most universities.” He also noted that many students he has talked to note a “dramatic improvement” in food quality over Sodexho’s operations. Other universities have risen above politics and chosen food service providers with track records of excellence. Meriwether-Godsey and Bon Appetit are two outstanding options to run the Marketplace and Great Hall, respectively, and should be considered here. Nothing less than change is acceptable. Duke students demand it, and Duke students deserve it. Trinity senior and a member of theDuke University Dining Advisory Committee. His column runs every other Thursday.

commentaries

letterstotheeditor Black community must come together I am outraged by the column “Calling for Sisterhood” (Feb. 23). The author says she wants solidarity among black women on Duke’s campus but proceeds to verbally destroy the entire community, both men and women. To me, this seems counterintuitive. She portrays men as dogs and women as petty enough to snipe at each other over them. That is a problem. How are black men supposed to respond when the only thing they hear from black women is that they are no-good liars and cheaters? I will agree that the disparity between the number ofblack men and women creates a sometimes tragic dating scene. But over-generalizing and dismissing every black male as the column does is no kind of solution. It’s not as though the black community is the only area at Duke where people (guys and girls)

Trustee candidate Philip Kurian, but I recognized that Solomon represented a community at Duke, and if she felt that a potential Young Trustee would not represent or respect that segment, then she had every right to voice her concern. I would have done the same if our positions had been reversed. The ICC represents nearly every group at Duke, and finding a candidate that is suitable to all is just as important as having great credentials (as most did in 2005). It is paramount to find a wellrounded and acceptable candidate who truly represents Duke’s diverse community. Brian West Trinity ’O5

On Panhandlers

One

night last year, I had an interesting experience while trying to help out one homeless man in Durham. As I walked out of Cosmic Cantina, he called out to me and my friend to ask for some money. While my friend did not have any, I did, but I offered the homeless man a meal instead. He gladly accepted. Everyone who has ventured into Durham n has seen the city’s homeless. While as a prospective student I was never informed of jamie deal their prevalence here, strategery my first encounter with a homeless man made their presence immediately apparent to me, I had never before faced this scenario alone. No one back home or here at Duke had bothered to give me simple, sound advice on how to respond to panhandlers, and without anyone to guide me, I learned the answers to these questions die hard way. Once inside Cosmic, the homeless man, whom I will call “Reggie,” began to bombard me with some of the stories he had probably practiced for weeks. “You know, this is the first time I’ve ever been in here, so you’re gonna have to tell me what to get,” he said. Meanwhile, someone in the background yelled, “Reggie, you always in here!” I laughed and then suggested he get the steak quesadilla with chips and salsa. He agreed but added that two Coronas to wash it down would sure hit the spot. Two Coronas, it was. After ordering, we sat down, and Reggie began to tell me a little about himself. It just so happened to be his birthday. He had not eaten in days, showered in weeks or seen a toothbrush in months. His entire family died of lupus, and because of this he could not earn enough money to keep his apartment. After losing his job, Reggie took to the streets, which were extremely horrible. When finished, he added, “By the way, could you tell me about finding Jesus?” “Well,” I began, but it was too late. The food had arrived, and Reggie dove straight into the quesadilla and chips. After taking a bite out of the quesadilla, he grimaced and said, “Ugh! This is too doughy.” He then snapped into a chip and exclaimed, “And these are too salty!” Reggie shoved all the food aside and chugged his two beers. I couldn’t believe it. Apparendy beggars can be choosers. Everything became clear when Reggie asked me for some cash to stay in a shelter that night. I said no, but he managed to get six dollars from some ofmy gullible friends who dropped by the table to say hello. But I, too, had been tricked, for he had used me to get money for a purpose that was most likely not staying in a shelter for the evening. This episode was depressing, but it taught me an important lesson: Be careful whenever trying to be charitable to the homeless. It is a general rule that handing out cash is a bad idea, as it may be used for drugs, alcohol or women. There are shelters available, and only in rare cases do they charge a fee, so do not believe a person who claims he needs money for a place to stay. Instead of giving cash, then, offer to buy a meal—but skip the beer. If you are not really in the giving mood, which is understandable for a student on a budget, a short conversation or simple hello as you walk by can probably make a difference in a homeless person’s day. I have friends who believe that ignoring someone completely is the best way to go because looking at his face gives him false hope. But I tend to disagree. It is lonely on the streets, and treating someone like an actual human being is always a good idea. Ifyou can, either give your time to help the homeless or make a donation to an organization that knows how to assist those who are actually in need. Urban Ministries of Durham, for example, offers shelter to around 130 people a night. If not them, then look for other opportunities in Durham or back home. What students need to keep in mind, however, is that giving out money to random people on the street is never a good idea. It can sometimes help dishonest conartists or even perpetuate destructive behavior. Handing cash to panhandlers damages both the city and its homeless population. .....

ATTENTION: BONFIRE GUIDELINES March 1, 2006 We want to educate the Duke community about revisions to the bonfire policy in effect for this year. Last year, the Durham Fire Marshal revoked the remaining 2005 bonfire permits following a bonfire that, in his view, had gotten out of control. The university, with student input, has agreed upon operating instructions that will govern all future bonfires and will help ensure them to be safe, celebratory events. The Durham Fire Marshal has clearly stated that we will lose our privilege to have future bonfires if we are unable to adhere to the guidelines below.

I. The University has requested City bonfire permits for March 4, 2006, April 3, 2006 and April 4, 2006. The Fire Marshal has not issued official permits, but will make a game-day ruling when the operating procedures have been fulfilled. 2. The only permitted bonfire site is in front of House P. A 40-foot boundary will be placed

around the bonfire. The bonfire is to remain wholly within the boundary and members of the Duke Community are to remain outside the boundary.

3. Stacked benches should be no more than 6 feet in height. No more than 2 benches are allowed to be stacked horizontally on top of one another. Benches should not be placed on end.

4. Intermittently, the bonfire must “bum down” to a safe height. During “burn down”

periods, no additional fuel may be added into the bonfire. This includes anything flammable. There are no exceptions.

5. If you carry a beverage, use a plastic or metal container. There will be additional trash receptacles on the quad. 6. Do not sit or stand on building roofs.

7. Do not use residence hall furniture as fuel for the bonfire. 8. Do not add fuel to the fire more than two hours following the game. 9. The use of gasoline or any other fire accelerant is prohibited. 10. Bonfires on any other days or location will not be permitted by the City and are, therefore, illegal. Anyone who participates in a bonfire on any other day or another location will be subject to University discipline and potential criminal prosecution. The Durham Fire Marshal has the right to revoke this and future bonfire permits if these rules are not followed or the crowd gets out of control. Let’s not abuse this privilege. Celebrating basketball victories with a bonfire is a Duke tradition. Follow these basic safety rules so we can maintain this tradition for years to come.
