President Richard Brodhead will not be purchasing a summer home in The Hamptons any time soon. But Duke’s top dog still finds himself cashing in a larger check than President George W. Bush at the end ofeach year. Tax forms filed by the University in May reported Brodhead’s 2006 salary at a whopping $517,500—notably larger than Bush’s $400,000 annual salary. Why the big bucks? According to a November 2006 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, running a prestigious university today is like serving as the chief executive officer of a business corporation. And it’s not just Duke. The bigger paychecks reflect die increasing workload of university presidents across the country as they make the transitionfrom an age when presidents were primarily academicians to the business-oriented presidencies of today. The level of expectations has risen, and managerial skills, leadership and vision are very necessary at the president’s level, said John Bumess, senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. “At a university such as Duke, the president acts as the mayor of a small city, responsible for medical care, housing and food not just education,” he said. “Universities were originally founded with only a small number of students and faculty, but it is a much more complex enterprise today.” In comparison to Bush’s 400 grand, the average salary of a private university president was $528,105 in 2005. Yale University President Richard Levin is one of the top-paid university presidents in the country. He earned a salary and benefits package totaling $869,026 in 2006, marking an 11.6-percent increase over his
Explosive growth in the size of college endowments has prompted Congress to call for the nation’s wealthiest universities to open their coffers and spend more on financial aid. A study released Thursday by the National Association of Colleges and University Business Officers found a 17.2-percent one-year average investment return for the endowments of the 785 institutions surveyed. The results, which covered the fiscal year spanning from July 2006 to June 2007, also found universities spend, on average, 4.6 percent of their endowments each year. Duke’s endowment grew third fastest among the 76 schools in North America with endowments exceeding $1 billion. The 31.4-percent growth rate, which accounts for donations, withdrawals and management fees in addition to investment return, trailed only the University of Notre Dame and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which weighed in at 34.7 percent and 32.1 percent, respectively.

RLHS selects Kilgo for gender-neutral bathroom by

Showering alongside the opposite sex will now be an option for some students living in Kilgo Quadrangle next year. Residence Life and Housing Services staff selected the third floor of House O and House P in Kilgo Quad as the location for a new gender-neutral bathroom next semester. Approved by a unanimous Campus Council vote last Thursday, the bathroom joins coed blocking in an effort to further integrate gender-neutral living spaces in dorms. “We’ve known that this is a change students will endorse,” said Marijean Wil-

Fall, she added. For the upcoming year, the option of a gender-neutral bathroom will only be available in one area, Williams said. It will be located on a floor that also has a male and female bathroom for those who are more comfortable using a single-sex facility. “We’ll talk with students who live there and those who don’t live there to try to determine if it’s the best use of space for our students,” Williams said. Once the Room Pix process begins, any student who wants to sign up for the space will be notified either in person or online with a message designating the area’s bathroom as gender-neutral, she added. The council also recommended that two rooms with access to the facility initially be removed from the housing lottery and reserved for students who express strong interest in living in the area, said junior Kevin Thompson, vice president of Campus Council. “We wanted to make sure that any student who wanted the bathroom or needed it could have access to it,” he added.

But he said that is a good thing. “Voters have become very disenchanted with the failure of elected officials,” Neal said. “The Senate has become a millionaires’ club.” He added that his greatest strength is that he is not bound to partisan or elite interests. “I’ve been a millionaire—I’ve stood in the unemployment line. I’ve experienced a lot of different viewpoints,” Neal said.

Awakening into Adulthood Submitted by Duke Department of Theater Studies Many theater buffs know the title Spring Awakening because of the smash Broadway musical that won the Tony Award last spring. But the musical was based on a play by the same name that debuted a full century before, and the Department of Theater Studies will present that original play for its spring main stage production. Written by German playwright Frank Wedekind, and published at his own expense in 1891, Spring Awakening deals frankly and provocatively with the sexual awakening of a group of German adolescents. The play focuses on the budding sexual maturity of young people in a society the playwright thought to be too repressive. Spring Awakening was not performed publicly until 1906 in Germany, and the play closed after its debut night in New York in 1917 amid charges of obscenity and public outrage. While the public’s taste over the years has opened up to allow for more controversial subject matter, the themes addressed in the play—teenage desire, pressure to measure up, suicide, abortion, and homosexuality—are no less relevant now than they were then. “Spring Awakening is a funny, profane, theatrically playful work about young people in the painful process of ‘waking up,”’ says Neal Bell, dramaturg for the production and resident play-
wright and professor of the practice of theater studies. “They are discovering who they are, and who they might become, in a world that seems hemmed in by the brutal hypocrisy of adults.
called for script suggestions last spring and after students submitted ideas, read and discussed the contenders, we whittled the titles down to a dozen and then five and then our final choice.”
“It was considered shocking, when it was written because of the unflinching way it portrays the sexual confusions and experiments of its young characters. And it still has the power to shock and thrill and exhilarate,” adds Bell.
Students considered not only the story, but the frequency of like productions in the recent past, the number of students who would be able to get involved and the mix of gender roles.
—
Jeff Storer, professor of the practice of theater studies, is directing Spring Awakening and finds one particular theme of the play especially poignant for today’s youth. In addition to sexuality, one of the storylines is about the pressure to “make the grade” and he knows this is something Duke students can relate to. One of the play’s main characters, fourteen-yearold Moritz, says early in the play, “School makes me wish I was a cart horse! What do we go to school for? We go to school to be examined! And why are we examined? So we can fail. Seven have got to fail simply because the next class room is only big enough for sixty.”
Apparendy the play did resonate with students, because they played the deciding role in selecting the play for production. “We had an open process for choosing the play,” says Storer. “We
“I was very excited about the selection and able to get behind their choice, and I am happy it went through such a vetting process,” says Storer. “It allows for more ownership when students play a role in choosing, and we had a great turnout for auditions as a result of the early involvement.” “I’m delighted that the Duke Theater Department is mounting a production of the original SpringAwakening” says Bell, “so Triangle audiences can encounter this fascinating, chal-
lenging—and ultimately hopeful—play.” Spring Awakening Directed by Jeff Storer, Theater Studies faculty Sheafer Theater, Bryan Center April 3-5, 10-12, 8 pm & April 6 and 13 at 2 pm $lO general admission; $5 students & senior citizens

Students are invited to learn more about Barkley Hendricks and other contemporary artists at exciting programs and events at the Nasher Museum this spring.
Hendricks This exhibition is the first career painting retrospective of the renowned American artist. As seen through 57 paintings from 1964 to the present, his work stands out as being ahead of its time, connecting the movements of American realism and post-modernism. Best known for his life-sized portraits of people of color, Hendricks’ bold portrayal of his subject’s attitude and style elevates the common person to near celebrity status.
The Nasher is unique in its ability to bring living artists often to speak about their work and meet the public. This spring brings opportunities to meet not only Barkley Hendricks but also Christopher Cozier, Wangechi Mutu, and Odili Donald Odita, to name a few. -

Sweet Sounds On Stage: The DSO performs Hansel & Gretel Submitted by the Department of Music
Hansel and Gretel is an opera about children, production gives them a chance to play reperbut it isn’t an opera for children, Harry toire in a genre that is new to them.” music director of the Duke Symphony Orchestra, is quick to explain. “It’s an opera that is melodically bountiful, full of wonderful melodies. Musically, it’s very sophisticated, which is why I wanted the DSO to do it.”
Davidson,
Written in 1891 by Engelbert Humperdinck, a disciple of Wagner, the opera shares many characteristics with Wagner’s work, including the use of leitmotifs, distinctive, recurring themes that denote specific characters or situations, “Hansel and Gretel is very orchestrally-conceived (as are Wagner’s operas),”
Davidson says, “but its shorter length (less than two hours) and familiar subject make it accessible.” When the DSO presents Hansel and Gretel on April 18 and 20 in Baldwin Auditorium, the group will be joined by six professional opera singers and members of the Durham Children’s Choir. The production will be'
semi-staged, incorporating costumes, props, and even a gingerbread house. It’s a big undertaking, but one that Davidson feels is important for the orchestra. “A large number of students in the DSO have never played a complete Opera before,” says Davidson. “This

Students Step Up Submitted by Duke Department of Theater Studies More theater studies majors than ever are hoping to graduate with distinction this spring, and that is a fortunate thing for theater lovers on campus. Two plays are being fully staged this season, and a reading of an original script and an original film are being produced as well. “Gaining distinction is a rigorous process,” says John Glum, chair of the department of theater studies. “It is really heavy work, both academically and artistically. All our distinction students are having experiences making art, which is exciting, but they are also having to think through the challenges that underlie making this kind of art—the conceptual work—building the vocabulary that makes up all the layers of the work.”
“The amount of work has been tremendous, but it has been thrilling to see the show that Sarah and I wrote come to life thanks to the talent of our fellow Duke students, who are directing, managing and acting in Intern
Dozier, who aspires to be a professional filmmaker. “Now I want to find out what it takes to write something original and then produce it for the screen,” he says.
Faculty mentors include Clum, Anthony Kelley and Glen Mehrbach from the music department and Anthony Lyn, an old friend of the Duke in London theater program and current associate director of Mary Poppins on Broadway, who came in as a guest artist to advise.

“I have wanted to make films from the first I saw the Star Destroyer pierce the edge of the frame in Star Wars. I believe my acting and directing in theater at Duke is a beginning quite worthy and maybe even necessary for a film director,” he says. Dozier’s film will be screened on a date to be determined.

No surprise in Dukes season yet Duke is No. 4 in the country. I guess it shouldn’tbe that big of a surprise. It’s Duke after all—unquestionably the most successful college basketball program of the last two decades (sorry Kentucky, but Laettner hit the shot). After a few unexpectedly early exits in the NCAA Tournament and a .500 conferencerecord last year, however, the Blue Devils seemed to have tim lost that swagger. b *

this season, Duke has just one hardluck overtime loss and impressive victories over Marquette and Wisconsin. Sure, on this date lastyear the BlueDevils were No. 10 and Scheyer-to-McClure was hours away from beating Clemson. After that, well, things kind offizzled. This year, though, promises to be different. Cameron was supposedly back Saturday against the Tigers (I have to say “supposedly” because I was one ofthose left out in the cold. But don’t worry, I had the pleasure of hearing Mike Patrick call a rare Duke game on ESPN), and last night Duke rolled past Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, a trip that’s given the Blue Devils problems since the Hokies immigrated to the ACC. It certainly seems as if the Blue Devils are SEE BRITTON ON PAGE

David
Ungvary THE CHRONICLE
BLACKSBURG, Va. Thursday night’s game at Virginia Tech seemed all-too-familiar for Duke. Fifteen seconds into the second half, Virginia Tech’s leading scorer, junior guard A.D. Vassallo, pulled up and nailed a big three pointer to make it a 42-41 game, putting the Hokies within one point of Duke. Cassell Coliseum, with fans in full “orange effect,” erupted into a frenzy and the Blue Devils, which ended the opening half slowly, looked a bit shaken. But then Kyle Singler showed up —responding to Vasallo’s big-game play with a three of his own which silenced the crowd and helped spark No. 4 Duke’s second half dominance, leading to a decisive 81-64 win Thursday night over Virginia Tech (11-8,23 in the ACC). “I just had to stick with it,” Singler said. “I knew the team was in it with me. We were playing alright, not well, and in the second half we were playing a lot better—playing like men.” Besides his crowd-muffling trey, Singler added 13 more points after halftime, finishing with a team-high 16. But just 1-of-6 from the floor in the first, Singler was an unexpected resurgent force for Duke (16-1, 4-0), which used the second half to showcase its offensive talent and ability to hold its own in an aggressive and physical ball game. With the Hokies’ leading big man, fresh-
man Jeff Allen, suspended for two games for contact with an official, the Blue Devils showed clear signs of wanting to work the ball inside early. They ended the game matching the Hokies with 40 points in the paint, something the squad has struggled to do all season. “We’re not a big team with a big center, so guys are going to think that they can push us around,” 6-foot-4 Gerald Henderson said. “But we have a lot of fight in our team.” Virginia Tech did not give up on its post-play either, which led to a game-long battle near the basket. And with offensive strategy focused near the hoop for both teams, the game was certainly physical and required a tough-minded mentality. “Our team responded well to [the aggressiveness]—and that’s just the ACC,” Demarcus Nelson said. “We have to tip our hats to Virginia Tech, they played hard and they played strong... We’re all men out there, and its going to be a
physical game.”
The teams recorded a combined 49 fouls on the night, with 52 trips to the freethrow line, and at times things seemed to be on the verge of getting out of hand. Even within the games’ first five minutes, junior Dave McClure, who started, was sent to the bench with two fouls. “We got into foul trouble early in the first half and we had to play a little passive, SEE M.

M.BBALL from page 9 trying not to foul—and that’s not how we play the game,” said Nelson, who fouled out with a technical later in the contest. In the second half, however, Duke stayed out of foul trouble and was able to put together a run without the stress of players being relegated to the bench. Aside from the physical play, pressure on Duke came mostly from the stands. Every time junior guard Greg Paulus touched the ball, the Hokie fans booed incessantly and when he threw up an air ball, it got even louder. “It’s a tough place to play with the atmosphere and the crowd, and we needed to be ready for that kind of intensity,” Paulus said. “It makes you want to
compete.”
But Duke coughed up the ball a mere 12 times in the contest while forcing 12 Virginia Tech turnovers after halftime and generating 11 steals on the night. The win away from home adds to the Blue Devils’ momentum as they continue ACC play, which they will need in their next game as they face the Maryland Terrapins Sunday in College Park. NOTES:
Leading Virginia Tech onto the court in the pre-game festivities, Hokie forward Deron Washington botched on a dunk on an open-hoop, causing an awkward but subde quieting of the crowd.... Krzyzewski said after the game that he thought the freshmen continued to make strides and helped the team get the win Thursday. Nolan Smith, Taylor King, and Singler were 12-26 from the floor for a collective 33 points in the game.

IF I Blue Devils push past Yellow Jackets by
ATLANTA Georgia Tech entered Thursday night’s game against Duke riding an 18-game home winning streak. The Blue
Devils came in with 27 consecutive victories over the Yellow Jackets. Something had to give—and from the opening tip, there was no doubt which streak it would be. No. 10 Duke (15-4, 4-1 in the ACC) never trailed and rode Chante Black’s sixth double-double to a 73-47 demolishing of No. 23 Georgia Tech (164, 3-3) in Alexander Memorial Coliseum. The Blue Devils shot 50 percent from the field for just the second time all season. “With all due respect, I just wasn’t thinking much about [Georgia Tech],” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I was thinking about our team—what we need to do, what we want to do, what we want to look like on the floor. We’ve been working hard to get better, and we’re starting to really turn some corners.” JIANGHAIHO/THE CHRONICLE The Blue Devils have now won two of her 15points ona 5-oM 1 effortfrom the field. shooting slump, scoring of 20 Junior Waner broke out Abby contests an points straight by average since an 85-70 loss to Maryland Jan. 14.

BRITTON from page 9 back in the national consciousness, and not for reasons such as “Will Duke make the Tournament?” or “Was the elbow on purpose?” In the process, the Blue Devils have proven wrong the critics who extrapolated a one-year aberration into doubts about the program’s aura. Duke has shown that it’s still Duke, whether it’s drawing the constant ire of opposing fans or ESPN and Patrick to announce every conference game. Down years and down stretches happen for even the best programs. See: the Matt Doherty Era in Chapel Hill or even recent struggles at UCLA and Connecticut. It’s always been about how players and coaches respond to adversity, and Mike Krzyzewski has exhibited a surprising willingness to adapt his style to his roster this season. After years of under-using his bench and wearing out key players, Krzyzewski has substituted liberally and placed more trust in his reserves. As a result, only DeMarcus Nelson averages more than 30 minutes per game just a season after four Blue Devils eclipsed that mark. Granted, it’s easier to point to Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith on the bench this year than Marty Pocius and Brian Zoubek last season. But Krzyzewski has given Taylor King the green light for any shot this side of the midcourt stripe and has handed the offense over to Smith for key stretches. At the same time, the coach has freed Smith and Greg Paulus to push the tempo and take advantage of the team’s strengths in the open floor. And the champion of man-to-man defense has even dared to go zone on occasion. This isn’t to say this team doesn’t have flaws—and glaring ones at that. Trouble containing Pitt’s Dajuan Blair translates into serious problems with more skilled post players such as, you guessed it, Tyler Hansbrough.
DUKE vs. MARYLAND

No. 4 Duke (16-1,4-0) LANCE THOI KYLE SINGLE!

CHRONICLE
Freshman Kyle Singler shoots over A.D. Vaissallo in Thursday's 81-64 win over the Hokies in Blacksburg.
A reliance on the 3-point shot leaves Duke susceptible on nights when those aren’t falling (and leads to long rebounds, which equal easy fast break points for teams such as, you guessed it, North Carolina). And the Blue Devils have developed a disconcerting habit ofletting teams back in games after building early leads. But right now, Duke is No. 4. With the exceptions ofundefeated Memphis andKansas ahead of them, it’s hard to find a team markedly better than the Blue Devils. And with the ACC shaping up into a two-team battle along Tobacco Road, Feb. 6 and a date in the Dean Dome can’t get here fast enough. Maybe that’s not a surprise after all.

rable information to that ofan online banking account, and OIT would do well to implement the enhanced security measures used by some banks, such as the “site key” solution Bank of America uses. Although a lot of students and faculty—especially the ones who do not boast extensive knowledge—are computer knowingly nonchalant about the numerous dangers of the cyberworld, we would all sleep better at night knowing our digital information is kept safe by a modernized security mechanism. In addition to the general security of the Duke net, OIT needs to ebb the wave of SPAM that inundates our Web Mail inboxes. True, there is a SPAM filter option, but it is minimally effective. Per-
haps OIT should take note
of the scores of students now use Gmail orYahoo mail, forwarding their “@duke.edu” e-mails to these external servers with easy-to-use search engines and relentlessly effective SPAM filters. Some schools, like Arizona State University, have adopted these servers as their default. Students and faculty save hours of time sifting through mail—and therefore have more time to fulfill our academic and extracurricular duties. OIT has taken some steps towards improving Duke’s technology offerings and soliciting student participation, including the Duke wiki launched this year and the cable survey issued last semester. However, their policies sometimes lack an understanding of real stu-
dent demand, as evidenced by the lackluster student response to the wiki. Public meetings should be publi-
cized more to the student body, and students should seek a bigger role in OIT, potentially through Duke Student Government. We want any new progress to be communicated, more student feedback to be solicited and greater options for student involvement. OIT should be lauded for their effective solution of this recent security breach. Now, they must make a point to increase dialogue and input from the ground up. Surveys, publicity and effective communication with DSG are a few tools with which they can obtain our feedback—as long as we can sift out their e-mails from the SPAM.

Counting sheep
letterstotheeditor Building walls not the answer to crime We have read The Chronicle for two and a halfyears, and often found ourselves laughing at student quotes, but on Tuesday we were incredibly saddened to read, “Students sound off on off-campus crime.” Students made broad generalizations about Durham being unsafe and one student suggested to “just build giant fences around the school.” Statements such as these perpetuate the “us vs. them” mentality. These crimes were not just committed against Duke students, but against the Durham community as a whole. Like many other urban areas, Durham has its problems, but building fences won’t stop that. What has happened over the last few days is extremely sad and slightly scary, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Abhijit Mahato. But, this is no reason to perpetuate a culture offear. For many students, Durham is a four-year detour. You may only leave campus to occasionally go to Elmo’s. If so, you will have missed out on all the wonderful things Durham has to offer—the new farmer’s market stand, concerts at the American Tobacco Historic District, hikes at the Eno River, and tasty LocoPops. After two and halfyears, Durham is no longer a detourfor us, but a home. Students and administrators alike are asking the question, “How do these crimes affect us” instead of “How can Duke help a community decrease crime?” A Duke student has the right to feel safe, but so does every citizen in Durham. Durham is a great community and it has a lot to offer to those who are willing to commit to it. Trying to wall students off from these
problems ultimately denies them a chance to be a part of something bigger than the gothic wonderland. To distance yourself from the problem is not to rise above it.

What do you mean, ‘Where is the plaza?’ You are standing on it. I don’tknow why it cost $lO million. Who cares? We’re rich.” Then perhaps a meal at one of Durham’s finest dining establishments—International Delights, anyone? It has the word “delight” built right into the name, so it must be delicious! Next, after a solid half-hour of vomiting shawarma into a Ninth Street garbage can, it is back to campus to prepare for the evening’s festivities. You place calls and text messages to gather the most presentable friends around campus. It is, of course, imperative to show visitors how much more popular and well-adjusted you are since they knew you in high school. Here is the opportunity to misrepresent your position within Duke’s social caste system. The evening begins perhaps with pregaming at your dorm before heading out to Shooters. Everyone is gathered in your room, ready to judge and be judged. If your visitor is female, your guy friends at school will shamelessly hit on her, no matter if she is your girlfriend or sister (actually, that would probably just encourage them).

sion and reassurance. Chicks needs that stuff man. Chicks!” He tries to implement CCR. T really like your necklace. I am sorry about your dog. I still really like your necklace and I am here for you if you want to talk. You know, about your dog and stuff.” Your sketchy friend returns to his sketch-cave to work on his CCR technique alone. With everyone in enough of an altered state to potentially enjoy a night at Shooters, you venture out into the streets of Durham. Because Durham apparently falls between Port-au-Prince and Mogadishu in a list of the world’s most dangerous cities, you take great care during your journey. Your visitor finds herself in the middle of what can described as a Roman orgy or a hyper-hormonal high-school dance, depending on prior experiences with Roman orgies and/or the existence of the “flinch” rule at high-school dances (i.e. “leave room for Jesus”). When the night ends, with a couple of club rats in tow, you, your friends and your visitor leave the fog (fog machine or condensed sweat in the air?) of the club and cross back through the treacherous streets ofDurham back into the Duke Bubble where the rule oflaw still exists. To your visitor, Duke is almost unreal. Their weekend has given them more than enough material to write an ethnographic report on us Dukies (shades of Rolling Stone?). An outsider cannot help but notice our bizarre social construct complete with a caste system and people who actually believe the secret woman-seducing philosophical teachings of CCR. The campus itself is an oasis within what I have previously described as a “cultural wasteland” (I retract that assessment now. Gun culture is a type of culture). When the time arrives, the weary travelers climb out of the rabbit hole, leave the Wonderland and return to the real world.
I’ve got vacuum-sealed clothing bags and enough identification to stroll through a Soviet border circa 1959. There’s just one problem: Due to that inconvenient other-side-of-theworld phenomenon, the New Zealand “trimester” doesn’t actually start until, oh, February. So the other night, I was withering away watching a live rotating webcam of Wellington harbor while tab-browsing ohnotheydidn’t! and icanhascheezburger.com. Finally, I decided to lull myself to sleep with my private stash ofmovie musicals. Tonight Baz Luhrmann’s “Moulin Rouge!” And just as I swooned into a dream of James McAvoy serenading me to the beat of “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” I heard Christian cry: ‘Yes, I had come to live a penniless existence. I had come to write janet wu about truth, beauty, freedom and that which I believe in above all pardon the macguffin things... love!” Wait—a penniless existence? JDoes that even work anymore? In a time of subprime crisis and striking writers, the very thought of the “oh-so-talented, charmingly bohemian, tragically impoverished” life is only a paintbrush away from the somewhat less glamorous “bum in the dumpster” life. And yet somehow, those damned French made the boozingin-rags world of carousing an artistic revolution. Those acid-trippin’ hippies gave us the Summer ofLove from the back of a VW bus. Heck, even Puccini-remastered “Rent” made drugs and drag a thing of wretched beauty. But today, our reality has squeezed the Bohemian passion out of us, leaving behind the more toxic rituals. You’d have a better chance spotting a unicorn in the Gardens than a theater troupe in the company of Credit Suisse and Schlumberger during the Career Fair. And I’m guessing there aren’t many Iron Dukes among the starving-artiste alumni. Even I, aspiring hermit poet with Alan Moore hair, check up on my Vanguard index fund returns —financial terrorized as I am re: my post-undergraduate future Still, I’m left wondering: We’ve got war, we’ve got social disturbance. Where’s the revolution? And when did that bully Responsibility trample art and leave us so—well, boring? We’ve evolved from the Children of the Revolution to the Fiscally Burdened Proto-Adults of the Imminent Recession (note: a much more difficult slogan to sing). It seems like every writer, painter, psychedelic musician I know at Duke—which, granted, is three people total—is, nevertheless, taking the comparatively green-backed road to Wall Street. So Duke isn’t your go-to hipster haunt. Yet even the certified creative are shunning the “A” word. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas advises, “Don’t ever refer to yourself as an artist. Novelist Sherwood Anderson said to Ben Hecht, Tou let art alone... she’s got enough guys sleeping with her.’” Eszterhas isn’t exactly Picasso, and “Flash Dance” isn’t exacdy “Three Musicians,” but you get my point On the streets erf Hollywood and New York City, there’s not a single peep of art amidst the talk of WGA MBAs, DVD residuals and new media compensation. Hardly a surprise, but come on, these are writers—men and women who paved die “I’ll do what I love and screw the money!” lifestyle; that is, until mortgages and litde Mikey, The Mistake came along. Disclaimer: I am Princeton, the I can’t pay the bills yet/’Cause I have no skills yet/The world is a big scary place muppet ofmusical “Avenue Q.” But I guess what I’m really afraid ofis that we’re letting art too alone. We’re whoring her out to the wolves and weirdos and losing all of the beauty, freedom, truth and—above all things—love. I’m not saying we should all grow beards, drink absinthe and write angsty poetry on the East Campus benches—though that would be an improvement to the current culture (grow beard, drink absinthe and vomit all over the second-floor staircase). What I am saying is that all of us, Pratt or Trinity, B.S. or 8.A., financial aid or trust-fund baby, ought to give thatBohemian passion a decent try even now, especially now. Maybe a litde longterm commitment. Not to blatantly plagiarize John Keating, but while the more financially savvy professions out there keep our gimpy economy and Jim Cramer functioning, it’s those abstract passions that make all the responsible stuff worth something. I’m thinking it’s too late for me to do the Kanye drop-out while rocking the argyle sweater vest. But in these few weeks of rampant freedom before I jettison 18 hours into the future, I’m going to pull out the couplets and watercolors and make a little mayhem.

Detzel raises important security issues I am a Duke parent and receive The Chronicle daily just so I can be aware of what is going on while my son attends Duke. I just want to commend Jon Detzel on his Jan. 18 column, “Welcome to the neighborhood,” regarding to security and transportation at Duke. Detzel could not have expressed himself any better to make a very important point. I think Detzel hits the nail on the head regarding always looking for the bad in students vs. looking “out” for the students. The schools, not just Duke, are looking for students misbehaving which some incidents are cause for administrative action, but on the same token, what about protecting the students? Also, the transportation service Detzel recommends for off-campus students is another good point. I hope his suggestions are implemented soon. Perhaps he needs to get students more involved in his suggestions. I really took his article to heart. Tami Ellinport Duke parent
