Picking Parking Apart
The Chronicle
The asphalt may not always be closer on the other side. For years, Duke drivers have complained about major parking problems at the University, and many have been re-energized by the elimination of the Ocean parking lot. But every major university seems to struggle to satisfy parking demands, and each has crafted its own unique solution to the widespread problem. The loss of the 450 Ocean spaces over the summer resulted

University’s policy toward international students by as early as next year. The International Affairs Committee, a group of administrators and faculty with an interest in the international community, released a report last March and has formed the Ambassador Duke Scholarship Program. The initiative will raise $1 million by the end of the academic year to serve as a base endowment for undergraduate financial aid for foreign students. “We are seeking to be an international university and there are an enormous number of components that make up an international university,” said Bruce Kuniholm, vice provost for international affairs and development. “It shouldn’t just be wealthy foreign students, but students who have the capabilities to be good Duke students but don’t have the wherewithal to make it so they can come.” The lAC worked with Jim Belvin, director of undergraduate financial aid, and Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions.

Iraq prohibits independent evaluations By BARBARA CROSSETTE N.Y. Times News Service
UNITED NATIONS —A decade after economic sanctions were imposed, Iraq will not allow independent experts into the country to assess the living conditions of Iraqis, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan told the Security Council Monday. In a report to the council, Annan also said the Iraqis were barring another group of experts that Annan wanted to send to devise ways to improve an oil-forfood program, which was developed to soften the impact of sanctions on the Iraqi population. Those experts had planned to set up a system in which Iraq would use some of its oil-sales money to
buy goods locally, a move that was expected to spur the local economy.
These latest decisions by Iraq not to cooperate with this new purchasing program or the impact survey come after its earlier refusal to allow Ambassador Peter van Walsum of the Netherlands, who is chair of the Security Council’s sanctions committee, to visit Iraq. “It’s not just on disarmament issues,” a diplomat said of the Iraqis’ refusal to cooperate, even for their own interests. “They claim they can’t get things done, but won’t let anybody come in and fix it.” Diplomats and relief officials say several reasons contribute to this attitude.

The award, which was presented by the DeWitt Wallace Center for Communications and Journalism, is given each year to a Duke alumnus who has exemplified the spirit of journalistic integrity and achievement. In the Sanford Institute commons, Rose delivered a public lecture entitled “The Art of the Interview” during which he reflected on some of his most memorable interviews, professional obstacles and the insight he has garnered during the course of his career. In each of his interviews, Rose tries to make his guests comfortable expressing themselves. “I tiy to elicit from people what they know, what makes them tick,” he said. The television host of the nightly, hour-long program emphasized the importance of beginning with a question that will direct the rest of the interview. “Asking the right question can be as important and fundamental as anything you do,” said Rose, whose show is syndicated on PBS to over 200 PBS affiliates. During his speech, Rose discussed the various skills that a successful interviewer must master. “My notion is [the interview! is the art, but the science is preparation,” he said. “Security and knowledge frees you.” Rose also adamantly defies the typecast of contemporary television personalities. “I am a questioner—not an entertainer, politician or a

preacher.... I am not someone who comes with... an agenda,” said Rose. “I provide the American public with a front-row seat of history.” During his college years, Rose was uncertain about what path his life would take. After trying a stint in law, he realized that he was more interested in the clients than the lawyer. At that point, he decided to tiy his hand at journalism. When Bill Moyer offered him a job as the managing editor of “International Report” in 1974, he eagerly accepted. “I am passionate about my work, so when the opportunity arose, I was ready” said Rose. In his time as a seasoned journalist, Rose has interviewed the likes of Yitzhak Rabin, Nelson Mandela, Bill

As he reflected on his life’s work as the anchor of “Nightwatch,” his numerous special projects and his current job as correspondent for “60 Minutes II,” Rose said, “I’ve had a wonderful journey that has allowed me to get where I am.” Throughout the entire lecture, Rose highlighted his story with jokes. Amid the audience’s laughter, Rose recounted a humorous anecdote about being a “silly sophomore” in current James B. Duke Professor of English Reynolds Price’s class. Above all, Rose also stressed that his job is about having fun.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
THIS WING OF THE WEST-EDENS LINK will connect to Main West Campus by the covered walkway on its roof, but its main feature will no doubt be the tower at the far left. Its lowest level connects to Edens Quadrangle, and elevators will carry Edens residents up through several levels of social space to the covered path.
Designers include all-night diner, cafe in WEL tower By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle
It may not be Disney World’s Tower of Terror, but administrators hope the West-Edens Link tower will be just as popular. After discussion with students and architects, university officials have decided to turn the new dormitory’s 90 ft. tall edifice into a center for social and common space. The building is set to open in fall 2002. The structure that connects the top ofthe new quad to Edens Quadrangle’s sidewalks several stories below was originally slated to house both programming and residential space, but over the summer, officials shifted the dorm rooms into other quad buildings to clear
the way for an all-night diner, a cafe, a lounge and other student-oriented facilities. “We began to see that there could be a possible way to shift some things around and provide students with more [social space! We ended up having an increase in amount of total usable space.... We tried to do as much as possible,” said Judith White, director of the residen•
tial program review. And in the remainder of the quad, things seem on track. There will be more bathrooms per student in WEL—each of which will serve fewer students—than in traditional West Campus dorms. On average, singles and doubles room sizes will remain at 140 sq. ft. and 240 sq. ft. respectively.

Each room will have large wooden closets and windows with slate ledges. Currently, the design calls for six-foot wide halls, that are as high as 9.3 ft. tall. The floors of the building will be made ofpolished concrete. Due to budget constraints, administrators were forced to change some of the aesthetic features of the building, but the room sizes and the building’s overall look will remain the same. “We have not pulled off the things we thought were necessary, we pulled off some of the things we thought were nice,” White said. ‘The doors are not as sophisticated as we would have liked.... [The dorm] has less expensive windows... but the important features we wanted are still in there.” See WEL TOWER on page 8

California adopts more generous college financial aid By TODD PURDUM
N.Y. Times News Service
-
LOS ANGELES California enacted the most generous college financial aid plan in the nation Monday, guaranteeing needy high school students with' good grades that it will pay their full tuition at the state’s public colleges and universities, or offer close to $lO,OOO a year toward tuition at one of the state’s private institutions. The plan will cost the state more than $1 billion a year. Flush with a $l2 billion budget surplus and fighting years of declines in its once-proud public education system, California will have by far the largest and most financially comprehensive student aid program for graduating high school seniors, with what amounts to a new entitlement program nearly twice the size of a similar program in New York State, for example, and about one-third of the total spending by all states on student grants and aid combined. The proposal passed both houses of the State Legislature unanimously last month, and in signing it Monday on the Los Angeles campus of the California State University, Democratic Gov. Gray Davis pronounced it “a historic day for higher education.” Indeed, the measure sails against the recent trend in scholarship programs, including another signed Monday by Davis, that are focused on tax credits or academic performance without regard to financial need, which have tended to help middle-class families most. Instead, the so-called Cal-Grants, a vast expansion of a program that has been in place since 1956, blend merit and financial need. Starting next year, any high school senior in the state with a “B” average who lives in a family of four earning $64,000 a year or less would qualify for free tuition at any public university in the state, or $9,700 toward tuition at a private one. Even “C” students from families earning less than $34,000 a year would receive $1,500 a year for living costs and books, intended to help them catch up at local community colleges and qualify to go on for four-
program, according to Reindl of the Association of State Colleges and Universities. But its maximum annual grant is $5,000, and it fully covers tuition for only the poorest families. “This catapults California into the lead,” Reindl said. Reindl warned that the risk of creating such a new entitlement is that it would face intense pressure in lean budgetary years. “This is a huge financial commitment,” he said. But Nani Escudero, 19, and Nicolette Birdsong-Gibson, 24, both juniors at California State at Los Angeles who say they could not have afforded tuition without the Cal-Grants, said Monday that the expanded program will greatly help them to persuade other high school students to apply to college. Both work as interns in local high schools, answering students’ questions about college preparation.
“I come on a lot of situations where kids say, ‘I don’t want to go to college,”’ said Escudero, whose father, a mechanic, passed away during her senior year of high school, “and I ask why not, and they say, ‘I can’t afford it.’” Birdsong-Gibson added: “Cost is always the major thing. I know a lot of students with goTod grades who just don’t believe they can afford it. This should really help.” John Burton of San Francisco, the Democratic president pro tern of the State Senate, who pressed hard for the measure, called it “the biggest thing since popcorn,” adding: “What this says to poor kids in high school is no longer can they say to themselves, ‘Why should I study? I ain’t going to go anywhere anyway because my family can’t afford it.’ It’s like the
G.I. Bill was.”
year degrees. “What California said today was need still matters,” said Travis Reindl, a policy analyst at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in Washington. “For the last seven years, with the emphasis on accountability in education, the emphasis has been on merit. This says let’s look at the need and
merit combined.” State officials did not hesitate to call the program, which is expected to cover almost one-third ofall graduating high school seniors, about 100,000 students a year, an entitlement, akin to Medicare or Social Security. Davis, however, a moderate Democrat and staunch fiscal conservative, did not use that word. He had proposed a separate measure, also signed into law today, that will award $llB million a year in merit scholarships of $l,OOO to the top 10 percent of scorers in each high school on the Stanford 9 standardized achievement test and $2,500 to the highest performers on Advanced Placement exams in math and science. Legislative critics had said that would tend to favor middle-class students, and the governor eventually bowed to bipartisan pressure from both houses, which agreed to pass the bills as a package. “I want to emphasize,” Davis said Monday, “these bills are not a free ride. They are a fair reward for extraordinary achievement.” Davis’ interim secretary of education, John Mockler, said in an interview: “The beauty of it is you can say to every kid in high school: You do your part and get the grades and income is not going to be a deterrent to your going to college.” Before the 19705,the state offered free tuition to its higher education system. But it has not had enough money in recent years to offer Cal-Grants to all students whose grades and family incomes would make them eligible. When Davis took office two years ago, the program was spending about $4OO million a year, one-third the amount it will now spend, and last year only about 55,000 of the 137,000 students eligible for aid received it. California ranks 39th in the nation in college-going, with just over half its high-school graduates going on to college, compared with the national average of close to 60 percent. Other states have similar programs, including New York’s Tuition Assistance Program, which provides about $7OO million in annual aid to needy students and was previously the most generous state

nior, said similar arose concerns when service leaders tried to start a
comparable organization in the past, Gen Daftary but she empha-
sized that the council will not sacrifice the individuality of each organization. “The independence of each of our groups is very important,” Daftary said. “[But] the more we know about them and what their actions are, the better capable we are to be an advocate on
their behalf.... That’s our purpose in a lot of ways.” The council is also designed to foster more interaction on issues besides service and outreach. “There’s often talk about groups not talking... but I think one of the most effective ways to get peo-
ple to meet and build social capital is for them to get an opportunity to work together,” Gayles said. “One ofthe benefits of the council is... to build strong relationships to discuss other issues like social climate, alcohol, things like that.” In fact, the council is a part of a broader mission to heighten awareness of the Community Service Center on campus. In working toward that goal, Daftary and Gayles have added a publicity chair to the center’s staff. “We’re looking to expand the Community Service Center’s influence on campus so people are a lot more aware of us,” Daftary said. “We’ve always dealt with the issue of being here on East.

“Those two [qualities—accessibility and approachability—] are huge.... People show [them] in different ways...,” the committee member said. “This person needs to be able to identify with the student body as someone that can go to the administration on their behalf. They’ve got to be accountable for students to know that.” For committee member and third-year graduate student Will Tyson, an understanding of complex
graduate student issues is as important as an understanding of the intricacies of the alcohol problem. “The biggest problem on this campus right now is alcohol,” said Tyson, a former Chronicle columnist. “When you’re talking about student affairs, alcohol is the first thing that comes up because it’s such a pervasive part of life on campus.” Tyson and several other committee members said they would be open to both internal and external candidates. Junior and DSG Director of Public Relations Teresa Christopher agreed, but the committee member said she would prefer to find an internal candidate.

disclosure of trade secrets or other confidential financial or commercial information. But the commission examined a sampling of movies, recordings and electronic games selected because they were best-selling products or those most likely to appeal to young people and found that, in the vast majority ofthe cases, advertising had been aimed at underage children. All 55 music recordings with explicit content labels were marketed to children under 17. So were 35 of the 44 movies rated R, or 80 percent, and 83 of the 118 video games, or 70 percent. The commission found that violent movies, recordings and electronic games were heavily advertised in outlets likely to reach children under 17—television programs like “South Park” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and magazines like Teen, Jump and YM. Entertainment industry officials have repeatedly denied that their companies make a policy of directing advertisements toward children. They say it is impossible in today’s world of communications to keep promotions of products for young adults away from the eyes and ears ofchildren. For the last several days, Democratic politicians have used the commission’s report to burnish their credentials as crusaders against violence in popular culture. The gist of the commission’s findings was reported in an article Sunday based on interviews with officials familiar with the report. In an interview with The New York Times Sunday, Vice President A1 Gore and his running mate, Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, took note of the study and said that, if elected, they would offer legislation or new regulations cracking down on the entertainment industry if the industry did not take steps to comply with the FTC recommendations within six months. Monday, President Bill Clinton, making a rare appearance with Hillary Clinton to support her candidacy for the Senate in New York at the Jewish Community Center in New Rochelle, N.Y., condemned the abuses cited in the report. The Clintons suggested that they would support some kind of government restraints if the industry did not itself curb advertising aimed at an underage audience. Texas Gov. George W. Bush, the Republican presidential candidate, agreed Monday that the entertainment industry needed to rein in its marketing practices. But he questioned Gore’s credibility, saying the vice
president had not previously taken a strong stand against violence in entertainment. In an unusual political twist, the Senate commerce committee, under the leadership of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will hold a hearing Wednesday about the commission’s findings and provide a forum for Lieberman, who is scheduled as a witness. Also testifying will be several other politicians, entertainment industry executives and representatives of advocacy groups.
The president ordered the Federal Trade Commission study last year shortly after the massacre
by two teenagers at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. Robert Pitofsky, the commission chair, said at a news conference Monday that no particular companies were worse offenders than others. Pitofsky also was careful not to blame violent entertainment for the violence observed in society. “We reviewed the literature and found that scholars and observers generally agree that exposure to violent materials alone does not cause a child to commit a violent act,” he said. “Exposure to violent materials probably is not even the most important factor. It is nevertheless a valid cause for concern. Exposure does seem to correlate with aggressive attitudes, insensitivity to violence and an exaggerated view of how much violence occurs in the world,” Pitofsky added.
Ideally, Pitofsky said, the entertainment industry would strengthen its self-regulation. If that does not work, he said, he would consider new legislation or enforcement under existing law. But he quickly added, “That’s down the road.” Pitofsky said he was concerned about breaching the First Amendment guarantee of-free speech. “I don’t want the Federal Trade Commission to be the thought police,” he said. “I don’t want a bureaucrat like me influencing the content of these materials, but rather, we need to influence the way these materials are marketed.” He suggested that trade associations publish the names of their members who direct marketing of restricted products to underage audiences. “A little sunlight might be a very effective sanction in this
area,” he said.

WEL dorms entrances boast common space, study rooms � WEL TOWER from page 4 Like many dorms in Edens, the entrance to each WEL dorm will open into a large “clearly distinguishable social area” so that each member ofthe house can be in common house space as soon as she enters the dorm. A seminar-study room, visitor’s bathroom and a small kitchen will also be near each main entrance. “I think they’ve got some good ideas,” said senior
and DSG President Jordan Bazinsky of the tower and attention to social space. “I hope it will answer some of the problems we’ve had with social and student space.” On the tower’s top floor, an open room will be available for student-programmed formal dinners and banquets. The linked third and fourth floor will house a cafe and a lounge, respectively. The second floor will be a contrast to the openness of the other areas of the tower—thick floors and ceil-
ings will allow this area to be insulated from the noise of the eateries above and below it and vice versa. This floor may end up being the site of a game room, so that people eating and chatting on nearby floors will not be distracted by the nagging taps of a ping pong ball or zings ofvideo game machines. The floor beneath the quiet zone will house the tower’s main lobby, and this space will open into the building’s all-night diner, an object of student demand for several years. “It’s how we want to offer dining services in Edens, which is something people have been calling for for some time,” White said. On this floor, as with that of the cafe, students will be able to spill out onto adjacent patios. Architects designed the facility this way, in addition to connecting the cafe to the lounge, to make each eatery a flexible programming option.
The building’s sub-basement will serve primarily as mechanical space. Thus far, student reaction to the proposed tower seems enthusiastic. “I think it’s great. Students won’t have to go to Main West for food, because that hike from Edens is no joke,” said junior D.J. Bolden. At the same time the WEL tower is being planned and built, campus leaders are discussing the ftiture of the Bryan Center. Officials hope the new building will compliment the services that the Bryan Center has to offer, but do not expect to offer any competition. “It was a concern, but our sense is there are important things we’d like to see in the Bryan Center. I don’t anticipate that we’re going to have as much lounge space. And I know we’re not going to have as much reservable space,” White said.

International Council lobbies for political interests P INT’L AID from page 1
ences and vice provost for undergradu-
ate education, leads the University’s admissions and financial planning group, which will release a report later this fall. Chafe said President Nan Keohane will consider at least one recommendation as part of his report regarding financial aid for undergraduate international students but declined to comment further. Meanwhile, international students have formed their own organization, called the International Council, to address their political needs. Much of the IC’s time will be focused around this financial aid issue and the cost of living for international students. “When you come from a [different] country, you see a lot more qualified, deserving students than there are at Duke,” said IC President and senior Hussain Reza. “It’s a search for equality and justice.” According to a 1998 study by the Office of Financial Aid, about $480,000 in aid to international students is given per class per year at Dartmouth College, Yale University, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. Duke’s relative youth, and its smaller endowment, complicates matters of financial aid. Most international students say pro-
viding financial aid is necessary for Duke both to be competitive and to create a diverse and welcoming community. “From my country, there are so many people who are qualified... but prefer other schools because they offer financial aid,” said junior Safa Misirli, who came to the United States from Turkey. Others pointed out that because currency rates vary from year to year, some students may experience a tuition hike of as much as 100 percent from one year to another. But Alvin Ko, an American citizen who came to Duke from Hong Kong, said the University should concentrate on aiding domestic students first. “International students are already going out of their way to get here,” the senior said. “You have a pretty significant amount of international students coming to Duke normally. I don’t know why you’d want to increase the incentive... if you already have premier kids in the [US.] refusing to come.” But numbers from the lAC report indicate that the University continues to lag behind in international student enrollment. According to the Fall 1998 In-
Cornell University’s undergraduate student population, 8.4 percent of Penn’s,
7.1 percent of Brown University’s and 6.7 percent of Harvard University’s. Duke’s undergraduate population is about 5 percent international students. Among several recommendations, the lAC report said Duke should increase its enrollment of foreign students. It also pushed for several initiatives to gear Duke up for improving the quality of life for international students, including a systematic review of foreign
students’ needs. The report suggested that funding should take into account “additional costs such as travel and housing during breaks.” Most international students agreed. Although the International House is normally able to find housing for foreign
tegrated Postsecondary Education Data System Enrollment Survey, a national system that gathers information from postsecondary institutions, international students constitute 9.8 percent of
students during winter break, house director Carlisle Harvard said further action is still needed. “We have worked on that issue with other departments on campus,” she said. “[We’ve] come up with several possibilities, none of which seem to be ideal...” She added that even more students would need housing if they received financial aid and came from less wealthy families. The lAC suggested that all students on financial aid should be encouraged more to study abroad, noting that the Office of Financial Aid found in one class that only 24 percent of those on grant aid studied abroad as opposed to 46 percent of those not on grant aid. These concerns
will likely be ad-
dressed when Chafe releases his report this semester.

Parking prices vary greatly among U.S. colleges PARKING from page
I While similar to Duke in size and percentage of students living on campus, Cornell, Stanford and Emory universities all have several student parking lots placed around campus. “Most parts of campus have no problems,” said Greg Gleichman, parking and transportation program manager at Stanford. But schools that are very large, such as the University of Virginia and North Carolina State University, or are urban, such as Yale University, have very limited on-campus parking for students. “We place parking in away to reduce traffic congestion,” said Cathy Reeve, N.C. State’s director of transportation, explaining that the school spreads its parking spaces throughout campus to eliminate severe traffic jams. Much like Duke, N.C. State reserves its closest spaces for faculty and administrators. At Yale, which is located in downtown New Haven, Conn., students have little need or space for a car, said Joan Carol, Yale’s manager of parking and transportation. Those that do have cars tend to park them in downtown parking garages and take buses to campus. And at UVa., students either park in perimeter lots on the edge of campus or, since half of upperclassmen live off campus, park in downtown Charlottesville and take university buses to campus. One of the few aspects of parking that seems to be
similar everywhere is that students who live off campus park on the perimeter of campus. “As our campus has grown, commuter parking has moved farther out,” said Stanford’s Gleichman. “People have adjusted.” All such schools, however, tend to have parking shuttles that run every 10 minutes on average. Who gets priority?
While residential undergraduates at Duke generally have parking spaces closer to campus than do graduate students, several schools, such as Stanford, give all students equal access to parking. At Stanford, all
-
The price of parking Since many universities, including Duke, have selfsupporting parking systems, their parking prices are largely determined by how expansive their parking systems are. At Yale, where on-campus student parking is scarce, bringing a car to school for a year costs between $436.50 and $858.60 depending largely on proximity to campus, while non-students pay between $45.75 and $79.25. At the other extreme, parking at Stanford costs between $3O and $99 for students and $3O to $lOB for non-students. And Cornell, whose parking situation is perhaps the most similar to Duke’s, charges residential students $276.29 to $357.71, commuting students $273.57 to $552.24 and faculty and staff one of six prices from free to $591.45. Duke charges $l6O for on-campus students and between $BO and $396 for off-campus students. Many institutions react to such challenges by moving away from parking entirely. “We try to reduce our need to maintain large amounts of parking,” said N.C. State’s Reeve. “More and more universities are going towards public transportation.” At Cornell, for example, parking officials urge people to purchase a $l2O pass that provides access to a county-wide bus system. For those who need to drive, Cornell offers discounts of up to 75 percent for car-poolers. Other schools are getting even more creative in trying to reduce car use. Within the next few weeks, N.C. State officials plan to initiate use ofelectric-powered, golf-cart sized vehicles for administrators to get from one area of campus to another.
Decks and garages The existence of parking decks and garages is something that is less consistent among universities: Although large schools such as N.C. State and UNC have several parking structures, equally large UVa. does not. Emory has seven parking decks, while Stanford has none. Cornell—which has a garage near its football stadium—has made a conscious effort to avoid building parking structures, largely because they can cost $15,000 to $30,000 per space, said Cornell’s Assistant Director for Commuter and Parking Services Carl Cohen. “We have as an institution made a decision to not invest in parking garages,” Cohen said. One of the most unpopular aspects of the Duke parking system—the use ofundergraduate spaces for home football games—seems to be unique to this university. At both UVa. and UNC, lots must be cleared before home games, but those lots are used for employee

parking and tend to be empty anyway on nights and weekends. Athletic parking at Stanford is mainly at an arboretum—a dirt lot that is otherwise open space. Other schools seem to either have less of a demandfor athletic parking or stadiums that are not near campus.
students have the same rights to parking passes and spaces. “We have a very egalitarian parking system,” Stanford’s Gleichman said. Emory’s parking system strives for even more equity; all members of the community have access to the same parking areas. “We like to mix students with faculty and staff,” said Emory’s director ofparking, Bill Collier. Other schools take the opposite approach. At Cornell, graduate students actually have priority over undergraduates when buying parking passes, although both groups park in the same lots. Due primarily to space constraints, however, these parking privileges do not always reach everyone: Although Yale and Cornell allow freshmen to bring their cars to campus, Emory, Stanford, UVa., N.C. State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill prohibit freshmen from parking for at least their first semester.

The
state of California is making an offer that no high school student will refuse. Under a new law, signed by California Gov. Gray Davis yesterday, any high school senior in the state who has a B average and a yearly family income of less than $64,000 will be eligible for full tuition at any California State University or University of California campus. Further, if the student decides to attend a private school, she would receive $9,700 toward the cost of the private institution. That’s not all. Students with a C average coming from families making less than $34,000 annually will receive $1,500 in scholarship money. Families making more than $64,000 could also receive assistance, as students who achieve high scores on state math and science exams could receive up to $2,500. What does all this mean? Well,CCaliforniaa—a state with a population of over 30 million —is making higher education an entitlement for students who have the grades but do not have the money. At an estimated cost of $1 billion a year, the plan is ambitious; it is also the right thing to do. Over the past two decades, the cost of a college education has skyrocketed. In the United States an estimated 5.4 million students must support themselves through student loans. Acknowledging this funding gap, California is taking a bold action that other states and the federal government should mimic. Not every state has the $l2 billion surplus that California has, but the federal government should encourage other states to develop similar programs and then offer to split the bill. This proposal would make a substantial difference in the quest to make higher education affordable. Critics have claimed that this plan will result in a dilution of standards at academically selective public universities, but the opposite will likely be the case. If students who would normally, have been deterred by the high costs of college are able to apply, the level of competition at selective schools will increase. The only foreseeable problem with this plan is a ballooning enrollment beyond the maximum capacities of the state’s colleges and universities. The plan is also in line with California’s unpopular Proposition 187—which barred affirmative action based on race. This law helps complete the shift from a race-based assistance system to an economically based system. Although there may be students that abuse the system and waste California’s offer of free public education, a majority of the students will take advantage of opportunities that were never available to them. Higher education is not a right in this country. But, this proposal will make it available to more than just the privileged.

every week, with at least one theft from an unsecured locker at Wilßec, a stolen car radio and some random Medical Center crime. Why does the alleged intellectual elite like to be victims of crime? Because we live in such a pretty place, crime seems as if it cannot possibly happen here. Students come from diverse backgrounds here, from Arkansas to Detroit. Perhaps they live in areas with low crime rates and thus do not even factor these issues into their daily decisionmaking processes. The physical appearance of our university helps to obscure some of its problems. Under-appreciated

The real key to controlling crime at Duke is controlling crime in Durham.
Better patrolling, prosecution of minor crimes and community-law enforcement partnerships all can help to lower crimes rates. In addition, the overall economic improvement of Durham would go a long way in reducing crime rates. If Durham residents had no reason to commit crimes on our campus, they wouldn’t.The challenge to improve Durham’s economy is not an easy one, but it is not impossible. This is not to suggest that all Duke crime is related to Durham. In The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger wrote that the more expensive the school, the more crooks attended it. The more I live here the more I agree with him. Our open campus, the concentration ofcareless people and a general disregard to our comical
can commit crime here. The Duke police are competent, but they cannot be everywhere at once. Even though the social contract assigns the responsibility of protection to the government, for practical purposes it is one’s own personal responsibility to protect oneself.There is no deterrent like a locked door. There is reason to be wary of outsiders who try to roam our dorms. Whether Duke students or outsiders commit crime, our collective response to it should be the same. Every Duke community member should be aware of our crime problems and adjust accordingly. It may spoil our vision of our Gothic Wonderland, but the real world isn’t waiting until we exit the gates of Wally Wade after graduation to rob us.

a long time ago. .0 no mean to imply that all of Durham is bad, because it is not. In fact there are many pleasant places in and around Durham that comprise an excellent representation of this great state. But our part of town is not one of them. A few minutes walk from our impenetrable three-foot wall, away from all the flowers and the classrooms, is a town with some outrageously high per capita crime rates. Drugs ravage their neighborhoods, just as they do our dorms, but the difference is that there economic factors combine to create a world of crime.
Earthquakes crush buildings, lives, futures Everyday Dharma m
Kevin Pride Last week, I survived my first earthquake. It was about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday night. I was up late working on the computer and listening to music. Through the crack in my bedroom window I could hear an occasional car stream by and the murmur of my upstairs neighbor’s television. It was a normal night. And then my chair moved. It quickly rocked back and forth a couple of times before I even noticed. I stopped what I was doing, muted my stereo and squared myself. Then it happened again. Only this time, I not only felt it, but I could hear it too. It was a low sound, a long, steady bass drop. My chair moved again, along to the sound, for another few seconds, and it finally occurred to me that what I was feeling was an earthquake. I was scared. Just as the awareness of what was happening started to sink in, the whole thing stopped and the stillness of just moments before returned. Now, granted, it wasn’t the biggest quake of all time. It wasn’t even the biggest earthquake to occur this month. And its epicenter was in Napa Valley, 50 miles north of San Francisco, where I live. It registered a 5.2 on the Richter Scale and occurred during the lifeless hours of the night—not exactly the biggest deal in the world. All of which may be true, but none ofwhich is very comforting. Because I sure as hell felt it and, pardon ' my pun, but it shook me up a little. > r >
When I made the decision to move to San Francisco, I considered the prospect of earthquakes. I recalled watching the television screen go blank during the 1989 World Series when the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked the Bay Area. I recalled a false prophecy made by a geologist named Iben Browning in 1990 when he predicted, to the exact weekend, that an earthquake would violently shake my hometown and the entire Ohio Valley with it. A number of schools in the area, including mine, honored the prediction and Browning’s talk of impending cataclysm by canceling classes. And then I
In fact, an earthquake's swift and decisive cruelty is an apt metaphor for many of life's most despairing and difficult events. Like lost love Or death. .
recalled all of the hours of nightly news footage that I’ve seen in my life of earthquakes and their remaining rubble. But none of this could have prepared me for the real thing. I lived through two hurricanes during my four years at Duke. But while difficult and damaging, hurricanes, as I’ve learned, are easier to survive and for one simple reason—you can see a hurricane coming. But not an earthquake.
A quake hits out of nowhere and then disappears, leaving behind a few small aftershocks and, often, a
really big mess. The damage in Napa was significant.
especially given the relative insignificance of the earthquake’s magnitude. Forty people were injured, 2,000 buildings suffered structural damage, an estimated $l5 million worth of damage occurred. One person, 5-year-old Nathan Schank, was severely injured (and remains in critical condition) when a 300-pound fireplace collapsed and crushed his 46-pound body. The little guy never saw it coming—he was asleep when it happened, curled up in a sleeping bag after a slumber party for his cousin. And in an instant, Nathan Schank’s life was changed forever. In fact, an earthquake’s swift and decisive cruelty is an apt metaphor for many oflife’s most despairing
and difficult events. Like lost love. Or death. Or a significant failure. Or an armed gunman in the Allen Building.... Sometimes, just when things seem to be running along smoothly and according to plan, something happens. Something terrible. You may see it coming—or you may not —but regardless, when it comes, it can bring everything, the entire world that you’ve worked so hard to build, to a crashing, thunderous and extremely painful halt. And along with it, your plans, dreams and hope for the future. Such an event can test you. And when it seems that the entire world around you is crumbling, you’re forced to look inward for the answers, to look to oneselffor the tools to rebuild. Make no mistake: Having to rebuild is hard. And it often hurts. But ultimately, you’ve got to leave the wreckage behind. Whether it’s an earthquake or anything at all that makes you lose your footing, the conclusion remains; You have to move on.

Porter reflects on strong game vs. Wildcats
Carl Franks praised his defensive tackle as the team readies for its game against Virginia By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle Charles Porter said he has a thing for lions. He’s got pictures of them all over his room. He’s even got the king of the jungle tattooed on his left bicep and a pair of lion eyes emblazoned
on his back. As he walked into yesterday’s press conference, with enthusiastic eyes and a confident smile despite the ignominy of another loss, perhaps it is appropriate that
this lion-hearted junior defensive tackle was the first Blue Devil to light up the scoreboard this season. “We knew we had them in a good position,” Porter said. “We knew we had thembacked up on their side of the field. We just wanted to keep them down there at the least and if anything, we could score.” On the field, Porter is known for his roar; he’s among the most vocal members of the defensive unit, constantly yelling and maintaining a high level of intensity.
“He’s a wild guy, a very wild guy,” Tyran said Grissom, a fellow defensive tackle and Porter’s best friend on the team. “He plays with a whole lot of energy,” Grissom continued. “He’s worked very hard to play defensive [tackle] this year, because he was a linebacker when he first got here.” Carl Franks has been quick to praise both Porter, “an emotional leader,” and Grissom for their performance in the after-
math of the Wildcats’ win Saturday afternoon. Energetic. Emotional. Wild. Not exactly words one hears very frequently about Duke’s
defensive line. Perhaps the
only thing
worse than Duke’s returning offense, critics said, was its defense. Their complaints could
be deemed fair—only three starters returned on the defensive side of the ball this year. While those leaders—linebackers Todd DeLamielleure and Kendral Knight and cornerback Ronnie Hamilton—continSee PORTER on page 23

The volleyball team cranked up the heat
at last weekend’s Duke Classic in Cameron Indoor Stadium, and tonight the Blue Devils have to play in a new home gym while engineers attempt to cool the historic
implementation of the new air conditioning system in Cameron, a process that forced fans to sit behind the action during last weekend’s games rather than have the opportunity to watch from the typical sideline bleachers. “I think it’ll be interesting to see how it goes over on East,” Nagel said. “It will be fun and exciting to play against a team that is better than they were last year. At this point, our team feels like they don’t even care where they play, they just want to go out and play.” The temporary transition to the all-

But in order to do that, Duke will have to win without senior midfielder Kim Susko, who is out indefinitely after getting hit in the face with a ball during Saturday’s loss to Old Dominion. “We will juggle our lineup with Kim Susko out,” field hockey coach Liz Tchou said. “I’m not sure what her chances of playing in the future will be. She will be meeting with the plastic surgeon... and we don’t expect her to be back for a while.” Tchou said that Susko’s absence, while worrisome for the team’s on-field leadership will give the younger players more of an opportunity to step up and work on their scoring. The younger players are certainly not the only members of the team who need to focus on hammering the ball into the THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM has had a lot to celebrate recently as it has won its last five matches.

appeared on dormitories and fraternities. One read “Bob Knight is God,” and another said, “Knight 4 President.” Just before the protests, Knight met with his team. He then appeared outside Assembly Hall and addressed a throng of student supporters. “In the next couple of days, I’m going to get together somewhere with as many students who want to come out, and then I’m going to tell you my side of this thing,” the 59-year-old coach said. “And I think you’ll be interested in hearing it.” In dismissing Knight, Brand cited a pattern of “uncivil, defiant and unacceptable” behavior since May that culminated last week with Harvey’s accusation that Knight had manhandled him and verbally abused him. Knight accosted Harvey because he had failed to use an honorific when he spoke to the coach, saying only; “Hey, Knight, what’s up?” But Brand stressed that the incident with Harvey was just one of many transgressions by Knight since the university gave him an ultimatum last May to control his behavior or face dismissal. On campus yesterday, some students expressed anger over Knight’s departure, while others were indifferent or supported Brand’s decision. The ugliness of Sunday night’s protests seemed to have blown over. The campus was full of glum faces and an almost funereal quiet. Waiting for a campus bus, Micheala Karr, a senior, rolled her eyes when asked about Knight. “I didn’t come here because of I.Q. basketball,” she said. “Anyone who is thinking of leaving I.U. because of this has whacked-up priorities.” Michael Burton, a graduate student in music, said it was “time for Bob Knight to move on, anyway.” Burton said the protests had disgusted him. “That was only a small percentage of the students here,” he said. Matt McGregor, a senior, said a less authoritarian coach might do a better job. “President Brand did what he had to do,” he said. “I like Bobby Knight, but I’m not sure we could win a championship under him in this era.” See HOOSIERS on page 23

� FIELD HOCKEY from page 19 back of the cage. The entire Blue Devil squad went scoreless in the loss against Old Dominion Saturday, but the lack of offensive production has had a surprising amount of longevity. Dating back to last season’s ACC tournament game against Virginia, Duke has only scored three goals in its last six games.

Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Boone, N.C.

Against similar competition, however, the Blue Devils have fared slightly better than the Mountaineers. Both teams competed against Michigan State in St. Louis, with Duke losing 2-1 while Appalachian State was topped 3-0. Despite their poor record, there are reasons to be weary of the Moutaineers, the two-time defending Deep South champions. “Appalachian State is a scary team to play,” Tchou said. “They’re not a hit-and-run team, they’re very unpredictable, they’re very motivated and they have nothing to lose. We’re going to go for it all out—we’re not taking any game lightly.” As they continue to search for their first victory of the season, the Blue Devils have no reason to underestimate an opponent—even if it is a rather smalltime school experiencing a dismal start to its season. So, once again, it’s time for a battered and travel-weary team to take to the road on a mini-journey. But, unlike the first four games of the season, tonight’s game against Appalachian State is practically in the Blue Devils’ own backyard. And that, plus the fact that they won’t have to leave the state of North Carolina for nearly a month, is cause enough for celebration. Paul Doran contributed to this story.

Lineman tries to remain optimistic Students protest Knight’s departure � PORTER from page 19 lie to start, the ghost of Duke football future is constantly present on the field. There are plenty of opportunities for leadership, and Grissom and Porter are taking on some of that leadership, hoping their confidence is contagious as the team prepares to take on Virginia this week. “I go out there each week just thinking we are going to dominate this team that we are going to play,” Porter said. “With Virginia, I feel the same way. Those two losses, I can’t be thinking about
them now.” It’s hard to beat that optimism, but Porter also realizes the seriousness of every and the consequences of so many losses; in the season thus far, the defense has allowed 5.8 yards per play, 38 points per game, and managed only two sacks. Given the defense’s struggles, Porter realizes the unit must improve.
“It’s hard to find positive things,” he said, “when it looks like nothing positive happened at all. And you ask your fans, and the fans want to see the team win.
It’s hard.” Porter says he deals with the team’s numerous setbacks by setting goals for his team and for himself, one of which is to get eight sacks this year. A lot has changed in the past year for Porter—now that standout tackle Chris Combs has graduated, he must lead by example. As he and Grissom continue to rise as leaders at Duke, they look with a hopeful eye to the future. “We need to become more of a cohesive unit,” Grissom said. “We’re making great strides to it, but we can get even closer. We have a lot of new faces out there, we don’t know how each other plays and once we understand each other’s style and our assignments, everything should fall into place.” FozailAlui contributed to this story.

HOOSIERS from page 21
Some students said they expected many fans to boycott the season. “I think a lot of people are going to protest and not buy tickets,” Courtney Clark, a junior, said. Even students who had protested said they were resigned to losing the coach. Joe Ryan, a junior, said Knight and the basketball program were one of the main reasons he had chosen the university. “I think most students realize it is a lost cause,” Ryan said, “He is already fired.” But other Hoosier fans said they felt something irretrievably precious had been lost. “Bobby Knight is like a god here,” said lanKara Novich, who described himself as a lifelong Hoosier fanatic. “It’s not going to be the same.”

But there is nothing traditional about this work, which combines live instrumentals, electronic samples and hyper-realistic movement. The LA Times called it “dazzling and multifaceted.” Come experience “Vitual Motion” for yourself. Tickets are only $8 for Duke students, $l5 for all others. Tickets can be purchsed in advance from the Ticket Office in Bryan Center, or at the door of Sheafer on performance nights. OR USE YOUR ARTS CARD!
