Although friends call them “Harold and Kumar” after the marijuana-smoking title characters in the 2004 flick, two residents of Randolph Residence Hall said the substances seized from their room in an April 3 raid by Duke University Police Department officers were a far cry from contraband. Plastic bags containing “leafy-green vegetable matter,” white powder and 119 unidentified pills were confiscated from the third-floor room, according to a police blotter. But the freshmen wrote in a jointly authored e-mail that what appeared to be illegal substances were merely oregano, powdered sugar and vitamin C supplements. Maj. Gloria Graham, DUPD operations commander, declined to comment on the investigation or whether the substances seized from the room had since been identified. March 25, nine days before the raid, DUPD investigators viewed “a bundle of green leafy substance” in the room through an open door when responding to a complaint of marijuana odor, but could not enter because the residents were not present to consent to a search, according to a police report. The incident raised a red flag for the residents, who wrote that officers could

THE CHRONICLE

The year 1998 was good for medical researchers —especially Dr. Kristin Newby. Congress passed legislation seeking to double the budget of the National Institutes of Health—Bs percent of which is spent funding research—over the next five years, and Newby, an associate professor of medicine at Duke’s School of Medicine, had just received one of the agency’s most prestigious awards. The grant, known as the K award, helps launch the careers of young researchers and financially supported Newby’s work on risk factors for heart attacks in women until 2003. A decade later, Newby finds herselfpredominantly funded by the private sector after several grant proposals to the NIH, including two for the prestigious ROl Research Project Grant, were not approved. The ROl grant, which provides the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to open a lab, hire staff and purchase equipment, has long been regarded as the NlH’s most important award, and scientists unable to

BAGHDAD Iraq's prime minister got a show of support from political leaders of both Muslim sects Thursday as he moved to isolate anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his followers. The meeting drew warnings from Sadrist lawmakers that the government's effort against them could backfire even as fighting between Shiite militants and U.S.Iraqi forces eased somewhat after days of fierce clashes in Baghdad's Sadr City district. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, himself a Shiite, convened the meeting of the main political blocs to discuss the Iraqi-led crackdown on militias that began March 25 in the southern city of Basra, triggering the current crisis. But the notable absence of the Sadrists signaled that al-Maliki was making good on a threat to try to isolate the movement politically if its Mahdi Army militia is not disbanded.

general body meeting Thursday night. All rising sophomore women have now been allotted space for the fall semester, Jen Frank, RLHS assignments coordinator, told members. However, RLHS is still finalizing the exact spots where they will be housed. RLHS decided Wednesday to relax its requirement that all sophomores must live on West in order to accommodate the Class of 2011 in the face ofFew Quadrangle renovations in the Fall. “All roommate pairs are kept together and there has been an effort to keep blocks together where possible,” Vice President Kevin Thompson, ajunior, said in an interview after the meeting. He noted that those who have agreed to move to Central from West will enjoy a $750-per-semester reduction in their rent and have been guaranteed the option to move into the newly renovated Few Quad in the Spring. All roommate pairs were required to agree to move to Central together. The option to move off West was only offered to rising juniors and seniors at first but elicited few responses, Thompson said. He added that rising juniors and seniors could only open up single rooms, which does not help because it would have forced RLHS to split roommate pairs.

Twelve students were arrested and seven were given citations at an off-campus house late Thursday night. Officers from both the Duke University and Durham police departments responded to a call at 11:43 p.m. complaining of a noise violation in 1026W. Trinity Ave. When they arrived on the scene, officers identified underage drinking and saw students attempting to run out the back entrance of the house, said DPD Lt. Robert McLaughlin, who was on the scene. The students slammed the front door on officers and began to run, he said. Some also threw botdes at officers and verbally abused them when they attempted to pursue them. Officers eventually gathered the students, issuing arrests to those who attempted to resist officers and citations to those who had been drinking underage but did not attempt to run. The students who hosted the party —at least some of whom are over 21 —were arrested for aiding and abetting underage drinking. Two or three cars responded to the call but morejoined when officers realized they needed help rounding up students, McLaughlin said. DUPD and DPD officials did not release the names of the students early Friday morning. A resident of the same house was arrested Feb. 29 on charges of trafficking 27 pounds of marijuana. All charges against the student were subsequently dropped. Wenjia Zhang contributed to this story.

CampusCouncil members discussed the housing situation withRLHS representatives at its meeting Thursday. Also at the meeting, council members heard a presentation from a representative of USA Today’s Collegiate Readership Program and approved a $5,000 expenditure to add newspaper bins on Central. The bins will be placed at the Anderson Street and Alexander Street bus stops. Both bins will have 25 copies of USA Today and The New York Times every day, free of charge, and there will be 25 copies of the Financial Times at die Anderson Street bus stop daily. The bins will be placed on a trial period, and the council will monitor the demand for the papers to decide on the continuation of the program.

Currently, stipulations placed on whether or not the council can fund an activity are similar to those for the Student Organization Finance Committee, Thompson said. “The only difference is that ours can fund T-shirts but SOFC can’t,” he said. Because Campus Council receives its budget from residential fees, members discussed limiting funding options to events and programs that will further better the residential experience.

Man police shot stable, identified The man shot in the chest by a Durham Police Department officer Wednesday is expected to live, officials said Thursday. The man, identified as Richard Tandy, 46, sustained serious injuries and is still hospitalized at Duke University Hospital. DPD officers responded to a call at around 3 p.m. Wednesday regarding a suicidal male at 1306W. Chapel Hill St. According to a DPD statement, officers found Tandy with a shotgun under his chin that he refused to drop. At around 3:40 p.m., Tandy pointed the gun at the officers, and Master Officer R.A. Godley shot him once in the chest. Godleyjoined the department in 1982 and currently works on the Selective Enforcement Team. The State Bureau of Investigation and DPD’s Professional Standards Division are investigating, in accordance with standard procedure for officer-involved shootings. Mahato shooter not yet identified Authorities are unsure who fired the shot thatkilled graduate student Abhijit Mahato, a prosecutor said in court Thursday. Detectives linked other armed robberies in Durham to the case and used ballistic evidence to track down another suspect in the Mahato murder. Stephen Oates and Laurence Lovette are both charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon in Mahato’s death. Witnesses to other armed robberies involving the same gun said Oates was the shooter in those cases, Assistant District Attorney Tracey Cline said, but added there was not yet information to determine the shooter in the Mahato case. She noted that investigators heard that Lovette had previously said “they had to kill somebody” regarding the Mahato robbery. Mahato, 29, was shot point blank in the for-

Judge denies protective order for Lovette A protective order filed on behalfofLaurence Lovette, the 17-year-old charged with killing graduate student Abhijit Mahato, was denied by a Superior Court judge Thursday. Karen Bethea-Shields, Lovette’s attorney, said she fears her client’s right to a fair trial has been threatened by information leaked to the media about the case. The order would have limited the ability oflawyers and officials to speak about the case. She said a lead investigator discussed details of the case in front ofa local reporter May 26. She also objected to comments made last month by District Court Judge Craig Brown, who advocated a crackdown on gangs during Lovette’s bond meeting last month. The police have not linked either crime allegedly committed by Lovette to gang activity. Lovette has been charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 18 murder of Mahato and is also a suspect in the March 5 murder of Eve Carson, a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill senior and student body president. NCCU student murder suspect revealed Robert Lee Adams Reaves, a Pentecostal bishop, is accused ofkilling North Carolina Central University student Latrese Curtis earlier this year, according to information made public in court Wednesday. Curtis’ body, which is believed to have sustained more than 40 stab wounds, was found Jan. 30 dumped on the side ofInterstate 540. Reaves is thought to have gone to his church to wash blood off himself and his clothes after murdering Curtis, Wake County Sheriff s Investigator R.O. Campen wrote in an affidavit. Reaves is in custody awaiting trial, according to The (Raleigh) News & Observer.

Will Robinson THE CHRONICLE

Members of the Arts and Sciences Council approved the creation of a new committee Thursday that will give students greater input on undergraduate policy issues. The council voted at its meeting to approve a bylaw change that will establish a Committee on Academic Standards. Duke Student Government’s vice president for academic affairs and two at-large student members—one from the Pratt School of Engineering and one from the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences—will serve on the committee. Political science professor Peter Feaver has agreed to chair the committee, said Suzanne Shanahan, chair of the council and an assistant professor of sociology. She added that the committee will address a broad range of issues including the pass-fail and underload-

ing policies, which emerged as concerns from DSC this year. “What we wanted to think about were areas where policies and standards affected undergraduate education and faculty teaching of undergraduates in particular,” she said. “We won’t be talking about housing or co-curricular issues unless they directly intersect with curricular issues.” The committee was formed because the council was preoccupied this year with creating new majors and failed to address many of DSG’s academic issues, DSG President Paul Slattery, a senior, wrote in an e-mail. “The vision is to get all of the necessary players in the room to address issues that are ultimately within the jurisdiction offaculty governance,” he said. “It means that students will have a direct line to propose things to an [Arts and Sciences] SEE A&S ON PAGE 7

She added that she felt concern about the concept of personhood —the qualities that make a human being a person —in modern society. “The notion of personhood is a fiction, not a scientific truth nor a religious truth,” she said. “We make these things up to suit

specific social purposes.” She also stressed the re-examination of free will in belief systems today and the need for people to avoid the hubris involved in “playing God.” “We need to have a faith based on the fact that we do not know everything and that we cannot guarantee our future,” Williams said. Audience members asked a variety of questions in the question-and-answer session that followed the talk. “It was a very dense discussion involving a very broad topic and condensing it was very tough, but it was very' informative as well,” sophomore lan Gong said. “It broadened my knowledge about critical issues right now.”

In other business: George McLendon, dean of the faculty ofArts and Sciences, discussed a new policy that will give professors the option of not making their course evaluations available to students on ACES. “I understand that there are a fraction of the faculty who believe that all evaluations are intrinsically evil—that is what it is, I am not going to get into a debate on the subject,” he said. McLendon said he estimated that about 70 percent of professors would be glad to share their evaluations with students because most professors receive positive evaluations. “This way they can get more informed choices than on a street corner with their friends,” he said. The council also approved the creation of a Latino/Latina Studies certificate and debated changes to the Cross Cultural Inquiry graduation requirement. Dean of Trinity College Robert Thompson said he recommended stricter requirements for which courses will carry a CCI code. “When you have 30 percent of the courses carrying the code, you lose the intentionality aspect of students making decisions about a particular course in order to satisfy the learning objective,” he said.

secure one often opt to abandon careers in biomedical research. “Assistant professors cannot get going, in their careers until they get their first R 01,” said Denis Guttridge, associate professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. “Sure there’s private money, but this is also hard to obtain and the funding level typically is not sufficient to sustain long-term research that can make a real difference.” Newby’s situation reflects a broader trend toward private funding, said Kristen O’Berry, manager of faculty finance and administration at the Duke Clinical Research Institute. “Three to four years ago, funding was split about 50-50 between industry and government,” she said. “Now, around 60 percent of our research is industry-funded, and we’ve had to ramp up our support for those types of projects.” Newby is currently revising her proposal and remains hopeful that her second request will be approved. “NIH funding is important because of what it represents,” she said. “It’s peer-reviewed and hard to get, and there’s some honor associated with having NIH funding. It has been one of the traditional currencies of academic research and has been used as consideration for promotiori.”

Duke researchers received $3BB million in NIH grants in fiscal year 2006, earning the University a second place ranking, compared to the $350 million and fifth place spot Duke was awarded in fiscal year 2005. Johns Hopkins University topped the rankings both years, receiving $448 million and $449 million respectively.

Von Canon Hall, Bryan Center, West Campus The U.S. is unique among democracies in that it gives the public a substantial say in who the parties nominate for president. Why do we do it this way—from campaigning, winning in the primaries, and winning delegates to the conventions? How do the people choose, and how else could it be done? John Aldrich, Pfizer-Pratt Professor of Political Science at Duke, specializes in American politics and behavior, formal theory, and methodology. He will compare this year's lowa campaign, not only with the other campaigns but also with competitive nominations and elections elsewhere, such as in China. -

Taylor

Alan Taylor is professor of history at the University of California, Davis. A graduate of Colby College in his native state of Maine, Taylor received his PhD from Brandeis University. His work focuses on Colonial America, the American Revolution, and the Early American Republic. He is known both for his synthesis and for his contributions to micro history. The latter is best exemplified by his Pulitzer-Prize winning history of William Cooper and the settlement of Cooperstown, New York. Using court records, land records, letters, and diaries, Taylor has shed light on the economic, political and social history of New York, New England, and (most recently) the Divided Ground of the Iroquois Indians. Taylor is also part of a generation of historians committed to the revival of narrative history, rejecting the method-driven, quantitative work of the previous generation of “new social historians” and the theory-laden work of more recent “new cultural historians.” In addition to writing books for a wide public readership, Taylor is a regular contributor of book reviews and essays to The New Republic. This event is sponsored by the Center for Canadian Studies and the Department of History. www.jhfc.duke.edu/canadianstudies

Blue Devils Duke takes on rival, ex-teammate battle Wolfpack by

Joe Drews

THE CHRONICLE

When Duke squares off against Virginia Saturday at 6 p.m. in Charlottesville, the

Blue Devils will see some of themselves in the Cavaliers in more ways than one. Virginia, like No. 2 Duke (11-1, 2-0 in the ACC), features a prolific offense. The third-ranked Cavaliers (10-1,1-1) score 14.6 goals per game, second in the nation to the Blue Devils’ 15.8. Most of those tallies, just as in Duke’s case, come on the fastbreak, as Virginia likes to push the tempo. Both ACC programs have been remarkably successful the past several years, with the Cavaliers winning the 2006 national championship and the Blue Devils finishing as runners-up in 2005 and 2007. And, in a new twist to this conference rivalry, a formerDuke player has joined the Virginia ranks—Peter Lamade, who elected to use his fifth year of eligibility with the Cavaliers. “He just said that his time was done here, and he was going to look forward,” head coach John Danowski said. “It’s always strange when you compete against somebody else that played at your 5ch001.... It’s bizarre. You wish Peter was here, but at the same time, he had to make a decision that was best for him, and you wish him well.” Lamade transferred to the schoolwhere his brother, Ted, was a captain in 2004. Three years later, Peter Lamade will be the second former Blue Devil to face off against his former team. “It’s going to be weird to play Peter,” senior midfielderBrad Ross said. “We’re going to be friends with him after the game, but

For the first time in head coach Sean

McNally’s three-year tenure at Duke, the Blue Devils will travel to Raleigh to play N.C. State. Due to ACC scheduling —where teams miss one conference opponent for consecuseasons —Duke (22-10, 4-10 in the ACC) hasn’t met the Wolfpack (21-10, 8-6 ) on the diamond since VS. 2005, the year before Mc-

“A lot of our guys have never been over there, and 1 haven t been over there, Raleigh McNally said. “We’re really anticipating it and looking forward to it.” The Blue Devils snapped a five-game losing streak—having been swept in ACC series against Miami and Boston College—shutting out UNC-Greensboro 10-0 Wednesday night. Duke will try to carry that momentum into Doak Field this weekend. “This was a big game for us building momentum for this weekend,” junior catcher Matt Williams said after the victory over the Spartans. “It’s nice to break our little losing streak and get back on track.” The Wolfpack hopes to derail the Blue Devils with its excellent pitching staff. N.C. State ranks fifth in the nation in earned run average at 3.09. Sophomore ace Clayton Shunick will take his 3-3 record and 2.13 ERA to the mound Friday night, matching up with Duke’s Andrew Wolcott (2-2, 3.12 ERA). In the win over UNC-Greensboro, the Blue Devils returned to doing the little things that had carried them to a fast start this season. Duke excelled at getting ahead in the count on the mound and situational hitting at the plate. McNally knows that’s the key to pulling out the team’s first road series win in conference play since late April 2006 at Virginia Tech. “Our concentration and our focus for the weekend will be to do the things we need to do and the things we’ve done to this point before the Boston College series,” McNally said. “We’ve got to do the little things. We’ve got to pound the strike zone and be really aggressive defensively and aggressive on the bases.” Katie Riera contributed to this story. T

THE CHRONICLE

out of its current

When the No. 8 Blue Devils take the field tomorrow, they will be concentrating on more than just ending their four-game losing streak. For the seven seniors on the Duke roster, the matchup against Boston College at 12 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium marks the final home game in their Blue Devil careers. With Duke (7-5, 1-2 in the ACC) reaching the NCAA semifinals the last three seasons, this senior class may be the most impressive to date for the Blue Devils’ program. The seniors made an impact for Duke from the moment they stepped foot on campus, and they will leave behind a heralded legacy. “The spirit of this class really lifted [the 2005] team,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “After having less fortune from 2002 to 2004, that was the year we got back on track. While a lot of [the current seniors] didn’t play much as freshmen, they injected our team with a much-needed breath offresh air.” Now, the senior class will need to boost the Blue Devils yet again versus

slump. Although Duke has faced an onslaught of injuries this season—with seniors Caroline Cryer, Kimberly Pastrana and Abigail Meyer still on the sidelines—the

rest

of the

class, including starters Allie Johnson, Sarah Kirchhofer and Aiyana Newton, has provided consistent contributions for the Blue Devils this year. But perhaps the biggest impact for Duke has been the continuing dominance of junior Carolyn Davis. Davis’ improving mobility as she continues to recover from an ACL tear has allowed her to return to her natural position in the midfield. The junior’s performance in her last game against No. 1 Northwestern, in which she picked up three ground balls and won three draw controls, may be a sign of her increasing comfort playing as a midfielder. “At some point, we kind of equated [the position change] to being like the mother bird pushing the baby out of the nest,” Kimel said. “At some point, she had to go.

M.LAX from page 13 during the game he’s No. 39 for UVa. I’m sure if he comes across the middle, nobody’s going to pull up on him.” As if Duke playing against Lamade and his new team weren’t strange enough, the circumstances surrounding his transfer complicate the situation even further. Virginia head coach Dom Starsia criticized the NCAA’s decision to award the Blue Devils an extra season, saying at the time that the indicted duo of Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty probably deserved another year, but the other Blue Devil players did not. Starsia, however, allowed lamade to transfer and play his fifth year with the Cavaliers. “He was somewhat critical of the process, not of Duke, but just of the process itself,” Danowski said. “But by the same token, I think he’s a good enough person and a big enough man to accept Peter lamade, which I think is a positive thing.... He certainly could’ve turned his back on Peter, and he didn’t.” After starting every game during his Duke career, Lamade has come off the bench in eight of Virginia’s contests this season, a sign of the Cavaliers’ talent level. “That just shows how deep they are and how many guys they play,” attackman Matt Danowski said. “That’s going to help them in their ability to run and play fast-paced, so

we’ve got to be wary of that, know who’s on the field and know that we can’t get caught up in that game. We have to play our game and our style.” This will be the first time all season that the Blue Devils have played a team that likes to push the tempo as much as they do, so they will have to adjust to defend the offensive style that has worked so well for them this year. They will also look to slow down the pace and control the ball when necessary, hoping not to get too absorbed in an uptempo game. And while Duke’s physical play was key in its 17-6 win over Johns Hopkins April 5, the Blue Devils cannot afford too many penalties against the Cavaliers. Virginia converts an NCAA-best 61.5 percent of its extra man opportunities. John Danowski called them ‘just about unstoppable” with the extra man. The Blue Devils, though, have been stopping just about everybody this year, and they’re hoping that continues against a squad they defeated for the 2007 ACC Championship and that now includes one of their former teammates. “When the game gets going, it’s going to be Duke vs. Virginia —it’s not going to be anybody vs. Peter Lamade,” Matt Danowski said. “But I’m sure in the pregame warmups it’ll be funny just to see him out there in those stupid-looking helmets and the orange jersey. It’ll be good just to see him again and see him playing.”

And for the seniors, these last contests will determine if they make it a perfect 4-for-4 in reaching the final four. “We have to remember that sometimes it’s not about the winning,” Kimel said. “Rather, [it’s about] becoming a better team and having faith in each other that if we do these things and work hard, we’re going to get there.

Classes were cancelled, workers went on strike and by the week’s end almost 1,500 people were sleeping on the Chapel Quadrangle in support not of Duke Basketball but ofDuke employees. The University was forced to address crucial issues of race, treatment of employees and relations with Durham. As a whole, the University emerged from the vigil April 11, 1968 as a changed place. The importance of student awareness of the vigil is only heightened by the fact that

focused on bringing tangible results to an issue that touched their lives every day. In 2008, student activism has taken on a different nature. Increased global awareness coupled with a more geographically and internationally diverse student body has led students to shift their focus from local to global issues. Protests against Chinese treatment of Tibet and fundraising to stop the spread of HIV in Africa are less likely to yield improvements as tangible as an increase in wages for Duke employees, but such actions are still activism. Four decades ago, our predecessors were willing to sacrifice their perfect grades for a cause they believed in. Times have changed, but there are still ways to live up to the past.

the issues it raised are still alive. Although the University’s enactment of living wage policies stands out as a recent achievement, Duke’s relationship with its unions and its workers has been strained at times, and some have suggested ridding the University of its unions. Workers’ rights is not an issue of the past; it is alive and relevant to our campus today. Participants in the vigil may view the current students of their alma mater with disappointment at their lack of activism. The oft-quoted perception that Duke students are apathetic is an overstatement, but recalling the Silent Vigil does illustrate just how student activism has changed over the decades. In 1968, students were

Carpe

Diem; seize the day—we ordinaries take the idea to go with our latte and reduced-fat blueberry muffin. We save the plane jumping for our bucket list check-off when the good life and love is over and ready for gambling at 15,000 feet. As for now, day-seizing and momentliving is just inconvenient. Diem: Carpe Latin: An irritating reminder of janet wu personal normalcy; a phrase often pardon the macguffin recommended by one whose life is far more interesting and undemanding than your own See: ice cream flavor taster; luxury spa reviewer; Waikiki snorkel tour guide. Most of us are bred in the save-up-and-lookboth-ways style. Quite a few of us snub the excessively happy (what’s up with those smiling people?). There’s nothing wrong with a by-thebullet-point living—we crave stability and dust off impulse. But at some point in each of our lives, we are offered the carpe diem route. And in most of these cases, we pass. We’re sensibly and solidly convinced that there is too much to lose. And so we wait. Tomorrow and 50 years later, we reevaluate and regret. New Zealand was my almost freefall—my nothinking, now-or-never, step in the wonderful wrong direction. I’ve always been something of a geeky bore with measly prospects ofrebellion. My adolescent versions of spontaneity consisted of a failed attempt at blue highlights and intermittently offensive credit statements. Still, I know how to score a change of scenery. In the days before 1 left home, mindsetstraddled provocatively between readings of Jack Krakauer’s “Into the Wild” and Diablo Cody’s “Candy Girl” (combine for optimum mindtickling), I had an existential epiphany of a Latin nature. How many more offers do we get? Most reserve this sort of life reflection for the post-marital motorcycle purchase. But some of us get antsy earlier along the routine route. It’s a good thing New Zealand happens to be the topographical equivalent of a “Do it!” daredevil enabler. The landscape begs for human marveling at vicious heights and absurd angles. It was a Kiwi, AJ. Hackett, who pioneered the art of com-

mercial bungee jumping in the ’Bos. Admiring the Vanuatu harvest blessing ritual of tower-leaping via forest vines, Hackett conducted his own public practice jump off the Eiffel Tower. (The Kiwis also invented hydro-zorbing, a sport that involves you and a large plastic inflatable ball cruising like an “intoxicated space traveler.”) And if life is tastiest at high velocities, look no further than Queenstown, New Zealand—“Adventure Capital of the World”— where tandem skydiving, hang gliding, sky jumping, paragliding, parapenting, microlight flights are easier booking than a local motel room. In summary, come to New Zealand and you come to throw yourself off something cool, or else. After a couple scenic NZ trips culminating in rainy grays, I found myself soaking in rather than seizing the days. I was eating and drinking and feeling moderately merry. Life was good—not electrifying. Carpe Diem; Can’t be bothered. Then I found myself at Taupo, a massive crater lake bordered by leftover sketches of panoramic volcanism. That day the sky seemed friendly and so did my bank account; the hostel front desk was brochure-laden and the Irish clerk welcoming. Here was my offer: take it or leave it, courtesy of New Zealand. I took it. That day I saw the lake from above, level, and below. It was life blasted open, elation overload, where exulting in each moment is ludicrously literal during 60 seconds offreefall. It was everything but a bull named Fu Manchu, and I can say in all honesty: I felt every single one of those 60 seconds oflife. I won’t recite NSC statistics to you. After all, seizing the day doesn’t require a dip into extreme sporting. But it’s a whole lot more fun when the deed is done at terminal velocity. For me, the plunge was naturally followed by a series ofaberrant firsts: herding sheep and turkeys on horseback, dining hot-spring-side by night, wading through a pond of creamy duck poop for an up close and personal JackJohnson serenade. For at least one day, I wasn’t thinking of impending deadlines, or where I’d sleep that night, or the throaty prickle of a future hack (these were reserved for a bleary tomorrow). For at least one day, I was doing the bold man’s carpe diem. Maybe you can’t seize every day—but if you snag one, baby, shake it for all its worth.

The myth of two Tibets

GOTTA LOVE AH

Opl\tA^T...

the recent Tibet controversy that has ignited agitation in London, Paris, San Francisco and now at Duke, creating a storm of disagreement and a whirlwind of protest, I wonder if we’ve forgotten about Tibet itself. By Tibet, I refer to the renjcHTIGS egiide benighted province that g Uest commentary was ruled by autocratic slaveholders and reactionaries until the Chinese finally freed the people from oppression in 1950. And I also refer to the Tibet which was an enlightened city-ona-hill, a literal Shangri-La of spiritual enlightenment that was ruined by the heartless Commies after the Chinese invasion. In studying both sides of the Tibetan issue, I’ve seen members of both camps take on these strands of inflated and misleading rhetoric. The Tibetan controversy, meanwhile, has grown to encompass so many grand and disparate issues: whether the Olympics can be politicized, whether state sovereignty trumps human rights concerns, whether the Western press is engaging in a smear campaign, whether the Tibetan protestors or the Chinese police have caused more casualties in the recent riots and whether China is besieged by the Western world. And in all of the attentiomgrabbing headlines and flagwaving hyperbole, we’ve forgotten to ask why the Tibetans themselves are protesting. They’re not attempting to sound off on the politicization of the Olympics or the politics of supernational movements; they’re attempting to have their voice heard on concrete issues, such as the fact that ethnic Tibetans fall behind their Han counterparts in areas such as education, health services, per capita income and even life expectancy. Tibetan protesters aren’t trying to rewrite the history of Tibet-China relations; they’re angry about conditions in the here and now. Did Tibet have a social system which perpetuated systematic injustices, before 1950?Yes. So did India, and yet in 50 years, since decolonialization, India has made great strides towards caste equality. I would argue that even the United States suffered from a caste system 50 years ago. The point is not what defined Tibet then, but what defines Tibet today: Chinese has replaced Tibetan as the official language, owning a photo of the Dalai Lama is illegal and Chinese migration policies have made ethnic Tibetans the minority in their own homeland. Facts like these are what motivate Tibetans to protest, not disagreements over whether Tibetan Lamas recognized the Ming dynasty in the 15th century or other obscure historical issues which draw attention from complaints grounded in today’s reality. Those with knowledge of the controversy, who argue for the Tibetan cause, are fighting not because they want to recreate an idealized version of Tibet that never actually existed. And no one’s arguing for a slave-state in Tibet, either. In fact, not too many people are arguing for independence at all: The Dalai Lama himself advocates only autonomy for Tibet. In all the sensationalist press covering the batdes for the Olympic torch, it is forgotten that this is not a batde ofChina versus the West, or even a batde between two groups of face-painted protesters. It’s an attempt to illustrate the real problems faced by the Tibetan people, who feel that their culture has been misappropriated, their well-being ignored, and their desires denied. I’d like to think that the recent Tibetan candlelight vigil on the Chapel steps, and the ensuing counter-protest by Chinese students and community members, did have a few moments of real possibility to highlight these concrete issues. It didn’t happen when chants were used as verbal weapons, or when flags flew in opposition to each other. It happened when the event started to wind down, when people from both groups started talking. It was about when the rhetoric stopped and the reflection began. At the end of the day, this “Tibetan controversy” isn’t about abstract ideologies but real suffering, not about international politics or historical legacies but everyday issues that the Tibetan people face. It’s not about valuing principles; it’s about valuing people. The Tibetans are neither idyllic pacifists nor benighted savages; and we don’t need to see them as such to acknowledge either their anger or their suffering. You don’t have to be perfect in order to be respected, to have your voice heard. And it’s up to us not to use the Tibetan issue as a platform from which to expound our own views, but to listen to what the Tibetan people themselves are trying to say. We all know that the Tibetans are rioting, but do we know why? If not, we should take a moment to leant the reasons for the protests, before we judge whether they are right or wrong. ——

being held expressly responsible for everything you say—every claim, every joke, every individual word scrutinized. The amount of soap in your mouth, the sum of money in the swear jar and the number of next-day Facebook messages admonishing you for all the regrettable things you said would be astonishing. Your date to the formal would find out that you kissed and told Your professor would hear what you muttered to the person sitting next to you when she handed back papers and the girl at the table rice to your right would sexual chocolate know that you called her a dap-havingjezebel the night before as she grinded up on your ex at the club. For most people, this degree of accountability is of course not the reality. Indeed, few outside of highly public positions have theirwords so closely scrutinized, but every now and then, we get called out for running our mouths a bit too freely. This past weekend, a friend of mine went to a sorority function as the date of a high school friend of one of the sisters. He, like most econ majors that get too carried away with their love affairs with Adam Smith, self-identifies as an economic conservative. And, like most Duke students (well, at least the ones from the North), he subscribes to the ideologies of social liberalism. Those beliefs together make him, like many of the socially enlightened rich kids at Duke, a Libertarian. He told his date—a Hillary Clinton supporter from Georgetown University who seemed to have adopted her candidate’s sense of humor—of his political leanings when the election came up in conversation. She at first was silent. To fill the void, my friend, in his best Stephen Colbert voice, exclaimed, “John McCain is the last real American in this election!” Her response: “So you want equality, but you don’t want to pay for it You Greenwich Republicans make me sick.”

Treated Thus came the end of the chance for any presidentintern role-playing activities for the evening (Bill and Monica jokes are funny again, if only for a brief moment, so I am getting my money’s worth). No media hoopla came about from what he said (unless you count this column), and his poorly timed joke only ended in mild public embarrassment and a lonely night. But what if he and the rest of us were scrutinized for every single word that rolled off of our tongues, just like politicians and other public figures? This year’s presidential campaign has seen more than its fair share of pseudocontroversial statements for cable news to pick apart. As a result, heads have rolled, qualifications have been questioned and accusations have been spit back and forth. A Barack Obama campaign adviser called Clinton a “monster,” and then resigned soon after. John McCain said that he “doesn’t really understand economics” and deferred instead to the advice of his economic advisers. The media and his opponents have not stopped rehashing this statement since. Hillary Clinton embellished a trip she took to Bosnia during her husband’s presidency with exaggerated tales of landing under sniper fire. She was forced to admit that she was a human who made mistakes and not, as I certainly believed before she clarified, a robot from the future on a mission to terminate naive feelings like hope and optimism. These remarks were throw-away comments. They were said with little more purpose than to replace silence with words, much like my friend’s date-ending declaration. The national attention devoted to such statements only serves to distract from the bigger picture. We are so caught up in the “he said, she said” nonsense that we fail to hear anything of import. Let these off-hand remarks go; instead focus on the issues that actually matter. Learn from the Georgetown girl. She could have had it all, but now is left with only her self-righteousness. ,
