Recognized for his work on personalized medicine and prospective health care, Dr. Ralph Snyderman, chancellor emeritus of health affairs at Duke, will receive the 2008 North American Healthcare Lifetime Achievement Award today. The award will be given at Frost & Sullivan’s 2008 Excellence in Healthcare Innovation Awards banquet at 5 p.m. in San Antonio, Texas. The Healthcare Innovation Awards are presented to companies that have made substantial contributions to the delivery and management of health care, by integrating treatment with novel technology, practices and ideas. “Personally, it’s always nice to receive recognition from others, but more importantly... [the award] recognizes an initiative related to improving health care that we originated at Duke more than 10 years ago,” Snyderman said. “I have a great deal of respect that prospective care is starting to get international and national recognition.” Snyderman founded the Center for Research on Prospective Health Care in

Durham looks elsewhere after tax fails by

Anna Lieth

THE CHRONICLE

With Durham residents voting overwhelmingly against a prepared-food tax last Tuesday, county officials are finding alternate sources of funding to move ahead with some of their planned projects. The county will now look to fund some of the cultural and recreation initiatives with property taxes, County Commissioners Chair Ellen Reckhow said. “We will move forward with some of the projects since they are on our adopted Capital Improvement Plan,” she wrote in an e-mail. “Some of the projects are essen-

tial maintenance of existing facilities.” The tax referendum proposed levying a 1 percent tax on all prepared meals in Durham to help pay for civic and cultural amenities. Durham residents voted against the proposal 72 percent to 28 percent, according to unofficial results from the Durham County Board ofElections. Dallas Woodhouse, treasurer of Durham Citizens Against the Food Tax, said the tax would have been detrimental to all Durham residents, students included. “It is a bad plan taxing people going to Bojangles’, going to Hardee’s—to tax students who go offcampus to buy a coffee in

The 4,300-year-old monument most likely belonged to the queen mother of the founderof Egypt's 6th Dynasty, and was built several hundred years after the famed Great Pyramids of Giza, antiquities chief Zahi Hawass told reporters in announcing the find Tuesday. The discovery is part of the sprawling necropolis and burial site of the rulers of ancient Memphis, the capital of Egypt's Old Kingdom, about 12 miles south of Giza. ~

PARIS France's government says seven French citizens and three Africans who were taken hostage from a tugboat off the coast ofCameroon late last month have been freed. President NicolasSarkozy's office says that he has expressed his "relief" at the release of the oil workers and credited help from Cameroon's president, Paul Biya. Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner's office said the "happy ending" involved help from the Nigerian government. The 10 hostages included two Cameroon citizens and one Tunisian. A Cameroon militia group took the oil workers hostage on Oct. 31 off the West African nation's coast, and threatened to kill the captives if demands for autonomy talks with the government were not met.

Pelosi backs aid to auto industry

WASHINGTON House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for "emergency and limited financial assistance"for the battered auto industry on Tuesday and urged the outgoing Bush administration to join lawmakers in reaching a quick compromise. Four days after dismal financial reports from General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., Pelosi backed legislation to make the automakers eligible for help under the $7OO billion bailout measure that cleared Congress in October. In a written statement, the California Democrat said the aid was needed "in order to prevent the failure of one or more of the major American automobile manufacturers, which would have a devastating impact on our economy, particularly on the men and women who work in that industry." "Congress and the Bush administration must take immediate action," she added. Administration officials have concluded that the bailout bill that passed earlier does not permit loans to the auto industry, but lawmakers are expected to return to the Capitol for a brief postelection session beginning next week.

duke UNIVERSITY UNION

Board receives surveys, may fund movie event by

Tina Mao

THE CHRONICLE

The Duke University Union has a grade

point average of 3.67.

This score was a result of a feedback survey recently conducted by DUU to assess the organization’s performance. Vice President of Programming Gabriela Borges, a junior, presented the findings during DUU’s weekly executive meeting Tuesday. In the survey, 180 individuals on the West Campus Plaza were randomly asked to evaluate DUU’s programming so far this year by giving a letter grade ranging from A+ to C-. Those interviewed were also asked if they had heard of DUU, if they noticed the events calendar outside the Bryan Center and ifthey read the Union’s weekly e-mails. According to the data collected, 94 percent of people knew of the organization, but only 74 and 77 percent noticed the calendar or read the e-mails, respectively. When asked for innovative programming ideas, respondents offered suggestions such as a comedy festival, a formal 18th-century ball, a rave in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, more acoustic concerts and a stage hypnotist. Borges said the survey might have been improved by increasing the number ofpeople questioned, but she added that the findings were helpful to DUU nonetheless. “The accuracy of the information depends entirely on the number of people who answered it,” she said. “Not everyone who took it was necessarily a Duke [undergraduate].” Also during the meeting, sophomore Nick Hawthorne, a member of the Movie

Making Marathon executive board, presented a co-sponsorship proposal to the Union to seek funding and help with advertising.

MMM—a 24-hour event where movies are shot, filmed and edited by teams before being screened for a larger audience—is in its third year. As a result, it is no longer considered a “new event” by the Duke Digital Initiative and no longer qualifies for DDI funding, Hawthorne said. “We would like for it to become a DUU event for years to come because we think it

“We would like [the MMM] to become a DUU event for years to come because we think it has a lot of staying power.” Nick Hawthorne, member of the MMM board has a lot of staying power,” he said. “It’s a good way to help expose the community to filmmaking, especially for people who aren’t in the Film/Video/Digital program.” Last year, about 100 students participated in the actual movie-making process and more than 300 attended the final screening, he added.

would come from visitors rather than residents. Woodhouse said his group—which was a bipartisan coalition, pulling in support from the Durham Committee

Baseball Fan Experience and National Museum, an American Tobacco Trail and the Hayti Heritage Center. The food tax would have had little effect on students who dine infrequently off campus, particularly because it would not have applied to on-campus restaurants that are sales-tax exempt when students pay with a Duke Card. Still, some Dukies were still glad the referendum failed. “I thought that the reasons they were going to use the tax for—l didn’t think it was necessary,” said junior Mary Caroline Dyke, who voted against the tax. Sophomore Katie Patellos also said she was opposed to the referendum because she did not think the projects were worth a tax, whereas sophomore Julia Duzon voted against it simply because that was the choice recommended to her by Democratic party canvassers. One of the arguments the county originally presented in favor of the tax was that about 40 percent of the funds

“We saw [the food tax] as a tax on necessities.... Everybody’s got to eat.” Dallas Woodhouse, treasurer of Durham Citizens Against the Food Tax on the Affairs of Black People and city restaurant owners—opposed the tax because they saw it as regressive. “Supporters of the tax thought that it was a voluntary tax because people can avoid it by preparing their food at home, but we saw it as a tax on necessities,” he said. “Everybody’s got to eat.”

DUU from page 5 needs $lO,OOO, even after cutting down last year’s budget by $5,000 by limiting excessive spending in areas such as the number ofT-shirts purchased. “We would love to get about $6,000 from DUU, but if that isn’t possible, we’d love to get as much as possible,” he said. “We’re trying to cut costs everywhere because we know it’s going to be hard to scrape up this much money, but we really want [MMM] to continue and we’re trying really hard to get funding from different places.” Some Union members praised MMM and said they were in favor of a DUU co-sponsorship, but they acknowledged that the budget could potentially be cut further to save more money. “It’s a really cool event,” said Borges, who staffed the event last year. “It’s like Froshlife but it’s for everyone, and the end product is incredible. The movies that these guys are amazing.” DUU members said a decision on funding would not be made until MMM met with the Union Consulting Group to discuss further streamlining the budget. turn out

Powell’s presentation revolved around Jesse Helms in North Carolina politics. Helms, a former Republican senator, inspired Powell’s progressive work. Much of his work featured during the panel involved political satire on the Republican Party. His talk ended with cartoons from the election campaigns. “Political cartoonists do our job when we stimulate people’s thought process,” Powell said.

Stephen Allan THE CHRONICLE

Late in the first half Tuesday night, No. 8 Duke could not seem to get itself in gear. Greg Paulus and Jon Scheyer, usually two of Duke’s best free-throw shooters, had shot 3-of-7 from the charity stripe, Paulus and Nolan Smith had a combined zero assists and the team had converted 12-of-32 field goals up to that point in a performance that reeked of its Monday win in which many players were disappointed in the offensive effort. But even though they had not clicked on all cylinders, the Blue Devils still led by 13 with 2:27 left. And once the dunks came thundering in and the emotional intensity roared, it was over. Duke (2-0) used a 22-3 run that spanned the end of the first half and the first minute of the second half en route to a 97-54 victory over Georgia Southern (1-1) in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils, having won their two opening contests of the 2K Sports Classic, advance to the semifinals in New York City and will play either Southern Illinois or Massachusetts Nov. 20. “Our guysjust husded, and they made some great husde plays, and all of a sudden, it was like a pinball machine—boom, boom, boom,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “The lights were going on and [I thought,] ‘Holy mackerel, we’re up by a lot ofpoints.” LAWSON KURTZ/THE

Bowl talk in whispers Duke kicks off ACCs against familiar rival Only two weeks ago, following Duke’s 10-7 upset over Vanderbilt, The Chronicle introduced a segment to its Sports Blog’s weekly video preview called “Bowl Talk.” Especially since games were coming up against increasingly vulnerable Wake Forest and supposedly weak N.C.

But after dropping both games in disappointing fashion, Duke is 4-5 with three contests left against three talented squads, and there isn’t so much as a whisper about a bowl game anywhere outside the program.

Sophomore Kyle Singler scored a team-high 19points in only 22 minutesof Duke's 97-54 win Tuesday night.

The avalanche of points took off when Region MVP Kyle Singler’sjump shot rattled in, giving die Blue Devils a 17-point advantage. Tyler Troupe forced a jumper for the Eagles, which clanked out. On the ensuing possession, Scheyer nailed his only 3-pointer of the period for the team’s first 20-point lead, but the defining sequence had yet to occur. Troupe hurried yet another shot as Dave McClure swooped in for the rebound. He then nailed a wide-open Smith down the court, who brought the house—and Georgia Southern’s faint upset hopes —down with a tomahawk dunk. The Eagles called timeout, but by then, it was a minute too late, as Duke had found its fire and energy to put them away for good. “We just folded the last three minutes of the first half,” GeorgiaSouthern head coach Jeff Price said. “Our team was not ready for a game of this caliber. Theyjust pushed us out of everything we wanted to do.” The players were noticeably more demonstrative after Smith’s tomahawk, as the sophomore guard slapped the floor and his teammates looked more focused. From that point forward, Krzyzewski gave his bench players plenty of playing time, as Singler left for good with 16:22 remaining and Henderson and Scheyer also finished their days at the 14:27 mark. Singler led all scorers with 19 points on 5-of-7 shooting, while Henderson added 11 points and Scheyer dished out 7 assists. Smith and Paulus both finished in double figures with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Elliot Williams stood out most among the freshman class, grabbing a team-high 11 rebounds, often times outleaping his own center for the board and carving up Georgia Southern’s defense at will. The 43-point win could have been even

larger if the Blue Devils’ focus had carried over to the free-throw line. For the game, Duke shot 25-of-49 from the foul line, and really, it was worse than that—the Eagles committed three lane violations on missed free throws by Duke. ‘You’re not going to play the perfect game,” Singler said. “We did shoot poorly from the line, but I think we were playing pretty hard. And there’s kind of a stop-action with shooting free throws and you can rush your shot.” But on a night when the team played at a subpar level for nearly an entire half, it didn’t need the perfect game—but, nonetheless, almost got one for the last 22 minutes.

M. SOCCER from page 9

Bozman 8c Co. earn tough road After losing its last two games, Duke forced itself into a tougher road to the final four. The eighth-ranked Blue Devils will play No. 5 Connecticut, the Big East runner-up, in the first round of the NCAA tournament at 2 p.m. Saturday in College Park, Md.—and the top-seeded team in the field could be waiting in the second round. Should Duke win, it would likely face No. 1 Maryland. Beth Bozman’s squad, however, gave the Terrapins one of their two losses Oct. 11. Also on the Blue Devils’ side of the bracket are No. 4 lowa and

loss to N.C. State. Freshman forward Temi Molinar was out with pneumonia, and freshman defender lan Kalis remains sidelined with a pelvic injury, not to mention the injuries to freshmanforward Kyle Betheland senior defender Graham Dugoni that have knocked them out for the season. Still, Duke hopes the loss against N.C. State was nothing more than a temporary setback. “We’re trying to move past it quickly, but it’s not like we overlooked them,” Kerr said. “They were very good that night, and we weren’t as good as we had been the last five or six games.... They have some guile and some savvy, and we paid the price for making a couple mistakes.” Rather than dwell on the loss, though, the Blue Devils look forward to a change in format—and that’s exactly what the ACC tournament provides. Increased nerves, physical play and intensity are the natural consequences of a single-elimination set-up. “The stakes are high.... [The Cavaliers] are so athletic, so we have to make sure we’re up for it physically,” he said. “We have our work cut out for us, but we have some very good players, as well. We are rested up and ready to go.”

No. 7 North Carolina, which beat Duke 2-1 Sept. 27. The Blue Devils rode an eightgame winning streak to the No. 4 ranking in the country as recent as two weeks ago, but fell to Virginia in the regular-season finale and in the first round of the ACC tournament.

“It’s obvious that our bracket is tough, but it’s the NCAA tournament, so no matter where you are, you are going to have to play good teams,” junior Lauren Miller said. The Blue Devils have advanced to the national semifinals in four of Bozman’s five years at the helm.

Grellanamed Player of theYear Mike Grella became Duke’s first player to win the ACC’s newly created Offensive Player of the Year award Tuesday, as the senior forward headlined Duke’s three All-ACC honors. Grella earned first-team honors for the third straight season, becoming the eighth Blue Devil in school history to accomplish the feat. He leads Duke’s offense with 33 points, including 13 goals and seven assists. Senior defenderDarrius Barnes earned second-team honors and rookie forward Kyle Bethel was named to the all-freshman team.

of a losing season—will still have some of the conference’s strongest and swiftest players suiting up Saturday. That’s why oddsmakers pegged Clemson as a 12-point favorite even though it only has two wins over Division I-A opponents.

In fact, Duke even has a significant advantage in several key categories, including third-down conversions and turnover margin—Clemson ranks dead-last in the conference in both categories. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, though, playing the numbers game almost never gets you anywhere. It will most certainly come down to which Duke team comes to play—the one which leaves points on the field like against Northwestern and Wake Forest, or the one which closes out games as seen against Virginia and Vanderbilt. Cutcliffe, who stressed that execution will be the difference in Saturday’s contest, said he was encouraged by what he called the team’s crispest Tuesday practice of the season. “There is no guarantee that you’re not ever going to drop the ball or have some kind of error,” Cutcliffe said. “But the better and more consistent you practice, you minimize the chances of those things rising up at the worst time.” After this weekend, the Blue Devils face Coastal Division co-leaders Virginia Tech and North Carolina, meaning Clemson is arguably Duke’s easiest matchup left on the ledger. Although the Tigers’ coaching shuffle has taken its toll, their pure talent is still capable of turning even the slightest Blue Devil mistake into a big play the other way, underscoring Duke’s emphasis on steady play throughout the game. “We’ve got to play four quarters of really solid football,” Cutcliffe said. “We’ve been good, but we’ve been consistently inconsistent as of late in all phases. We’re going to have to throw one of those games together where we’re consistently good throughout the 60 minutes of play.”

CORRECTION

lettertotheedito The election broke down a racial barrier? The day after the election, I was waiting for my meal to be cooked at the Marketplace when one of the chefs struck up a political conversation with me. He said that people shouldn’t be excited because a black president has been elected; they should be excited because a Democrat is being put in office. I wondered why this gtiy was lecturing me, but later, I realized he was completely right. Race shouldn’t have had anything to do with peoples’ reason for voting. Having the first black president is a tremendous thing in a country with a racial history such as ours, but it was accomplished in all the wrong ways. Why was there such a significant increase in black voters? One might logically assume it was to support a black candidate. But that means that there were voters who wouldn’t have gone to the polls if there were two white

candidates. Someone who is only inspired to vote by that fact that a black candidate is running shows a preference for one race over another. To me, that’s a form of racism. Am I being too harsh? What would you think if I told you that I, being a white person, am going to vote against President-elect Barack Obama in 2012 because I would like to see another white president in office? And if there are two black candidates, I probably just won’t vote if there isn’t one ofmy own to support. You’d call me a racist, right? This is why I am sick of hearing about what a historical election this was. If you think our country has broken down a racial barrier, you may be right, but the racial divide in America is alive and strong.

Equal opportunity takes a backseat

you remember being pulled out of your elementary school class to go do more advanced work? If you go to Duke, chances are that you benefited from some sort of curriculum acceleration that helped you become the student you are today. Unfortunately, over the last decade, school districts all over the country are eliminating matt graham that programs _

help high-achiev-

honestly speaking

maximize ers their potential in order to close the minority achievement gap. Educators implement such policies in the name of equality—but, in truth, they are perpetrating an injusticejust as great as the achievement gap. Educational research, like a 2006 study by researchers at the University of Connecticut, shows that the elimination of ability-based curriculum differentiation has strong positive effects on struggling students’ ability to learn. Because lower ability groups are disproportionately made up of minorities, eliminating ability grouping has become a popular way to fight the achievement gap. Grouping students of varying abilities would narrow the gap—but not without denying opportunity to high achievers. The discriminatory denial of opportunity to a particular group (in this case, advanced students) is the same fundamental injustice caused by the achievement gap. I tutor math in the Durham Public Schools twice per week, and I see advanced students being cheated by the system every time I’m there. They are bored to death in class, “learning” material that offers them no challenge whatsoever. When they demonstrate understanding of a concept before it is taught to the class, the teacher’s defaultresponse is incredulity that someone knows something beyond the standard curriculum. It is a sad day indeed when success defies the odds. Pooling students of varying ability levels inherendy compromises the quality ofeducation. When high-ability students are given the same material as their struggling peers, their primary function becomes helping other students rather than pushing their own limits. Policies like No Child Left Behind only make the problem worse. By tying billions of dollars in federal money to the number of students

that meet a minimum standard, thelaw assures that schools prioritize the achievement of students that are barely making the grade. Thomas Jefferson once said that nothing is more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people. It is sickeningly ironic that, in the name of equality, our education system is denying students the opportunity to maximize their potential. The achievement gap is a major source of inequality, but marginalizing a different group of students is just as wrong. If ability grouping is wrong because it discriminates against minority students, eliminating ability grouping is equally wrong because it discriminates against advanced students. Eliminating the achievement gap is important, but considering it in a vacuum is irresponsible and dangerous. The quest for equality should not result in equal mediocrity. Where would our nation be without its highest achievers? These students are the inventors, the Nobel Prize winners, the rocket scientists and the researchers who may one day cure cancer. In a time when American students are falling behind their international peers, we should not be cheating our best students out of an education. Without them, our already-declining advantage in the technology-driven global economy will erode even faster. Now is the worst possible time to degrade the quality ofAmerican schools. Rather than using an equally unfair trade-off to solve the problem, the achievement gap should be attacked at its roots. Instead of using good students as the support system, we should help disadvantaged children gain access to resources like preschool and tutoring services that could compensate for the resources that they don’t have at home. Social justice does not take one man’s opportunity and give it to another. It expands everyone’s opportunities. People that benefited from ability grouping, including most Duke students, should be outraged at the current state of education policy. Every step forward taken by this brand of thinking is another step backward for our country’s future. It’s not just today’s students that will be affected—your children, your children’s children and the society we all live in will suffer tremendously. The trend toward eliminating opportunity in the name of equality is not showing any signs of abating. I can only hope that I will be able to afford to send my children to private school.

brutal Mugabe’s rule. In 1980, after the fall of the white-minority regime, the world had high hopes for the debonair

bush-fighter-turned-politician

and the world’s newest nation. Much has changed. The number of whites in Zimbabwe has fallen from 300,000 to below 70,000. The Zimbabwe dollar is worthless. Inflation has risen so high so fast that the government has stopped counting. The economy shrank at a rate of 5.5 percent last year. 80 percent of the population is jobless. 1.8 million people have HIV/AIDS. One thing, however, remains

unchanging. The Great Liberator, now known not quite affectionately as “the Old Man,” still occupies the presidential palace. Sadly, the 84-year-old Mugabe, on PARADE Magazine’s list of the world’s 10 worst dictators for the past four years running, is still in charge. Before I visited Zimbabwe in 2006, I read the stories. A former president dead in prison while awaiting trial on sodomy charges. The leader of the opposition kidnapped, released a week later with his skull bashed in. The local Roman Catholic Archbishop silenced by charges (based on suspect evidence) of illicit sex. I assumed nobody in Zimbabwe would much care to talk politics with me. They would be too busy trying to find a job and feed their family. I was going to see Victoria Falls and get out. One gentleman surprised me. We were on a little boat on the Zambezi, River. The tour guide, a middle-aged white Zimbabwean, and I bonded over a few beers and a heated discussion of the Boer War. He appreciated a fellow historian and I appreciated a local willing to give me two hours of time. After a bit, I judged it the right time to ask a tentative question about politics. The guide paused and literally looked over both shoulders, before leaning forward and quietly pronouncing the situation “terrible.” Before becoming a tour guide, he had been a farmer, but the government confiscated his land 10 years ago during the “land reform” program. He grew up un-

worker, historically the most exploited group in the country, under the racists I would have enough money to feed and clothe my family and pay school fees. At the end of three months, I would have been able to have saved enough money for a bike. Of course, I wouldn’t have the right to vote or legal equality either. Today under Mugabe black farm workers are starving. Why then didn’t he leave? Most whites emigrated years ago. He chuckled and said, “I’m a Zimbabwean. This is my country. It’s got great potential. Mugabe is old. He can’t last forever, and when he goes, this country will take off like nobody can imagine!” Last spring, Mugabe was on his way out. In an election, his party lost control of Parliament for the first time since independence. He failed to secure more than 50 percent of the vote in the presidential election, and the leader of the opposition, Morgan Tsvangirai, was set to win the coming run-off election. But celebrations were premature. The Old Man isn’t ready to step into the pages of history. He clung tenaciously to the presidency and, in a so-called “power sharing” agreement with the opposition, has arranged to keep control of all of the key ministries and the security services. The country still writhes under the boots of his henchmen. And the world does nothing. The Africans, with a few notable exceptions, support their brother “liberator.” For the West, Zimbabwe is just not that important. If the United States were ever to be in a position to intervene in Africa, we would almost certainly do so in Darfur: Genocide is more compelling than state failure. The best minds at this university should be thinking about how to rescue Zimbabwe when Mugabe finally goes. It will be up to us, as Americans and as Westerners, to rebuild a country ruined by despotism and to feed a people starved by the greed of tyranny.
