Bush warns Americans of long war on terrorism The president made several demands of the Taliban, most notably the handing over of Osama bin Laden By ELISABETH BUMILLER New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush demanded Thursday night that Afghanistan immediately deliver Osama bin Laden and the rest of his network and close down every terrorist camp in the country or face military attack by the United States.

“These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion,” the president said in an address to a joint meeting of Congress. “The Taliban must act and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate.” The president implored the nation for its support and patience in what he described as a coming global struggle led by the United States against terrorism. The president made it clear that the fight would be long, and that Americans should be prepared for casualties. “Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have seen,” a somber, purposeful Bush told Congress and a national television audience. “It may in-

elude dramatic strikes, visible on television, and covert operations, secret even in success.”

The speech made it clear that American ground troops would be involved, and that a military strike could come soon. The president said he had a message for the military: “Be ready.” The demands to the Taliban, including an insistence that Americans be able to inspect every dismantled terrorist training camp in Afghanistan to make sure that they are no longer operative, were comprehensive. The war, Bush added, would not be like the swift battle against Iraq a decade ago. Nor would it be like battles America has fought in the Balkans. The president announced that Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania, a close friend, a fellow Republican and a former Marine, would assume a cabinetlevel position as the head of the newly created Office of Homeland Security. The office, he said, would oversee more than a dozen federal agencies, including the CIA and the Department of PRESIDENT GEORGE W.

Budget proposal Dorm renovation schedule may change living gets preliminary longer Campus decides if their complete improvements during breaks. Legislature OK groups on Main Selective have to may no West sections Duke to empty By DAVE INGRAM

From staff and wire reports

Both houses of the North Carolina General Assembly gave preliminary approval to a $14.5 billion state spending plan Thursday. A $620 million tax hike was approved as part of the measure. The vote came after budget turmoil dragged the Legislature to the longest session in state history. The final vote on the bill is expected today. Democrats, who control both houses of the Legislature, were the primary supporters of the plan, and the vote was nearly along party lines. In the House, the measure was approved 62-55. In the Senate, the vote was 33-12. Republicans said they opposed the budget plan because spending cuts were not given enough consideration before taxes were raised “For every minute that we spent looking for excess spending, we spent an hour trying to find enough votes to pass a tax increase,” said House Minority Leader Leo Daughtry. “And that was wrong.” Democrats listed protection of public schools and the state’s credit rating, as well as continued government services, as their main reasons for supporting the tax hike. “Your constituents expect us to keep state government running, to keep it running at the level of services that they are used to,” said Rep. Phil Baddour, the House majority leader. See N.C. ;

Although administrators initially planned to complete the renovations year round, they will decide within the next two weeks whether to restrict the modifications to summer and winter breaks. “We’re pushing hard with the contractor to see if we can get it into the summer and winter breaks,” said Tallman Trask, executive vice president. “We’re still not certain about whether we can do them all over the summer.” Kilgo Quadrangle will undergo renovations first, followed in a counterclockwise manner by the rest of Main West. The whole project would take approximately four years if done year round, but Trask said it could probably be completed in two summers.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan Afghanistan’s senior Muslim clerics adjusted their course Thursday, issuing an edict suggesting Osama bin Laden be persuaded to leave the country. The White House quickly rejected the move, saying it did not “meet American requirements” that Afghanistan immediately hand over the prime suspect in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. “This is about much more than one man being allowed to leave voluntarily, presumably from one safe haven to another,” said An Fleischer, the White House spokesperson. The decision by a grand council of nearly 1,000 clerics in Kabul, the Afghan capital, came after days ofrefusals by the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, to surrender bin Laden or end the sanctuary the Taliban have given him and al-Qaeda, his armed force. But it was not

clear where Omar stood on the decree—whether he had inspired it, whether he would accept it—or whether bin Laden would comply. The decree served to only intensify speculation as to what the Taliban is up to, or even whether it has any plan to extricate itselffrom the crisis. In any case, the decree appeared to do nothing to deter the Bush administration from its readiness to use military force if necessary to capture or kill bin Laden. The situation was further complicated Thursday night when Taliban officials at the Afghanistan Embassy issued a statement quashing suggestions that the clerics’ decree might open the way to the handover of bin Laden. “We have no intention of surrendering Osama bin Laden to the United States,” the statement said. “He is a free man, and he can move to any place that he wishes, but we are not going to expel him.”

Coalition collects $6,000 for victims The 40 groups hope to have raised $lO,OOO following a fundraising concert and party at

Cafe Parizade Saturday night.

By DAVE INGRAM The Chronicle

The effort to raise money on campus for victims of last week’s terrorist attacks is reaching the end of its week-long campaign, and organizers of the coalition of 40 student groups are expressing optimism that they will reach their $lO,OOO goal. Through Thursday night, they had raised approximately $6,000 from a Wednesday fundraiser at George’s Garage and from donations collected at tables around campus all week. Tables at the Cambridge Inn, Bryan Center, Marketplace and Hudson Hall will remain open Friday and accept cash, check

and FLEX.

“Things are going wonderfully. We’re making more money than I thought the Duke community would ever be able to raise,” said junior Ethan Brown, a member of Theta Chi fraternity and one of the fundraiser’s organizers. The week of fundraising will culminate Saturday night with an event at Cafe Parizade on West Main Street. A capella groups Out of the Blue and Speak of the Devil and comedy group Duke University Improv will perform from 10 to 11:30 p.m., with a party after that will last until 2:30 a.m. The event has a $6 cover. Several other fundraisers have succeeded in raising thousands of dollars for relief efforts. Last Sunday’s University worship service donated its $16,000 weekly offering to the American Red Cross. Duke Student Government President C.J. Walsh, a senior, spearheaded a flag-selling effort that raised approximately $3,500 for the New York Firefighters’ Fund. The coalition of student groups originally intended to put much of their efforts toward transportation costs for Duke students who were directly affected by the terrorist attacks. Since initial planning last week, however, the organizers decided that such a need is low and that the United Way September 11th Fund could better use the money. By Wednesday, the United Way fund had surpassed $B9 million nationwide. The fund will help victims, their families and communities in both the short term and long term. “Originally, we thought there was a possibility that See COALITION on page 7 �

Pratt considers curriculum changes Class of 2006 could face changes to academic program BY KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

Three years ago, Peter Lange set out to improve Trinity College’s curriculum, and the result—Curriculum 2000—has preliminarily been regarded as a success. Now, Barry Myers is hoping to work similar magic with the curriculum of the Pratt School of Engineering. Myers is currently forming a committee, which he hopes will include both faculty and students, to begin looking at changes to the curriculum. The Pratt School will likely implement any resulting changes before the Class of 2006 matriculates. “We are going to assemble a committee very shortly, push ahead through the year and begin implementing some of these ideas after that,” Myers said. “Our goals are not merely to write a report Myers said one of the issues he wants to address is ”

engineering. “First-year students don’t have a lot of direct engineering interaction, we want to look at that—applying math, chemical and physical principles to engineering,” he said. Currently, engineering students are required to take four mathematics courses and four natural science courses—usually basic physics and chemistry. Departmentally, students must complete one course in four of six basic areas: electrical science, information and computer science, mechanics—solid and fluid, materials science, systems analysis and thermal sciSee PRATT on page 6 P-

morning, when 48-year-old Michal Shohat sends her kids to school, she prays they will come back safely at the end of the day. As a Jewish Israeli, Shohat has witnessed the effects ofthe Middle East conflicts first-hand and has committed herself to fighting for lasting peace. She has been an elected member of the Municipal Council of Jerusalem and served as an officer in the Israeli army. “Since I was born, I went through five wars, as a kid, soldier and mother,” Shohat said. “It is very difficult, no matter what situation you are in.” Even though the United States has recently tasted the effects of terrorism, Shohat said the experience is too foreign to most Americans for her to truly communicate. “It's difficultfor me to tell you about my life because I realize that only ones who live there know how it is to live under these circumstances,” said Shohat. “We are afraid to shop, to go to the movies.” To raise awareness about the Shohat joins Jean Zaru, a Quaker from Ramallah, Palestine and Rawan Damen, a Muslim Palestinian, on the Jerusalem Women Speak tour, a national panel promoting peace in the Middle East sponsored

by Partners for Peace, a national government organization. Shohat and Zaru shared their experiences with about 50 Duke students and

faculty members Monday afternoon in a presentation at the Episcopal Center. Damen, a 22-year-old who recently graduated from Birzeit University in Ramallah, Palestine with a bachelors degree in media and sociology, was unable to attend most of the discussion due to airport delays caused by the recent terrorist attacks. Violence is not the only struggle that her people face in their daily lives, Damen said. “This occupation has affected our way of life. Everything is under Israeli control. It’s like three million Palestinians under siege,” said Damen. “They control electricity, water. I spent several days without electricity because of the collective punishment procedures.” Zaru, a founding member of Sabeel, a Palestinian liberation theology center in Jerusalem, said the occupation is complex. “There are many narratives,” Zaru said. “It is not black and white. We’re suggesting international legitimacy. I am living here and yesterday, my hometown and children were bombarded, so how can I guarantee anything?” See

Academic Council debates changing membership eligibility By KENNETH REINKER The Chronicle The Academic Council, meeting for the first time this year, debated a report on the possibility of expanding its ranks to include regular rank non-tenure faculty. “[This is] a problem that, if not festering, is at least on the minds of many people said George Christie, James B. Duke professor of law and chair of the report committee. “It seems bizarre to have people vote for members of the Academic Council, but not to serve. There are precedents, but they all go back to the 18th century.” Non-tenure track faculty are appointed as professors of the practice, research professors or clinical professors. They are not currently able to serve on the Academic Council, but are eligible to vote for Academic ”

Council members. The committee encountered irregularity in how nontenure titles are awarded. The report urged Provost Peter Lange to develop guidelines for the use of these titles. The committee recommended that non-tenured faculty should be eligible to serve on the Academic Council if the candidate has been appointed for at least three years, has teaching duties and has rights to participate in departmental governance. The number of nontenured appointments would be limited to one per division, except in the clinical sciences, which would be allotted four slots. John Staddon, James B. Duke professor of experimental psychology, questioned the efficacy of the entire project, particularly whether the benefits are commensurate with the complexity of the proposed change.

Edward Shaughnessy, professor of mechanical engineering, noted that the council raised the voting issue in 1990 but overwhelmingly rejected enfranchisement. Shaughnessy said his vote was the only one in favor. But Academic Council Chair Peter Burian suggested that times have changed. “The situation of faculty in this university has changed considerably,” said Burian, who is also a professor of classical studies. “We now have areally strong cadre of professionals... who are treated, in a number of ways, as second-class citizens in the University... It is incumbent upon us to consider it seriously and carefully.” Lewis Siegel, longtime dean of the graduate school, said when non-tenure ranks were created, emphasis on teaching was a major component. “The administration has allowed these ranks to be used to make appointments that do not have such a [teaching] component,” said Siegel, calling for an investigation into this practice. IN OTHER NEWS: Lange is planning a series of forums to debate issues related to last week’s terrorism. The council also nominated candidates for earned degrees, elected new members for the faculty hearing committee, heard a report on the proposed renovations to Perkins Library and approved changes to the section of the faculty handbook that deals with promotion and tenure issues. Additionally, the council met in a closed door executive session to discuss honorary degrees.

“A lot of students have a keen interest in economics and go on to careers working in financial institutions,” he said. “We should be doing more to provide students economic analysis, [and] give more alternatives to students.” Myers said that similar courses taught across departments, such as mechanics and biomedical engineering courses, could be consolidated. Currently, students must also acquire a digitalcomputer programming capability before their sophomore year, but Myers thought the school was already on the cutting edge, noting that instead of learning C++, Duke engineering students study the newer Maple and Matlab. Kristina Johnson, dean ofthe engineering school, has identified the new curriculum as one of her top goals this year and added that a focus on blending teaching and research would mark the new curriculum. “I would say it’s very wide in scope and there’s a lot of motivation for it [curriculum reform],” Myers said. “The fact that the curriculum hasn’t seen a systematic overhaul in a while is a good reason to look at it.”

Moneta seeks input on residential living I* RENOVATIONS from page 1

AUDREY CHRISTOPHER/THE CHRONICLE

SOPHOMORE CHELSEA DAVIS contributes to the relief efforts of a student coalition composed of 40 groups. Sophomore Erica Peppers and freshman Maital Guttman volunteer to accept donations.

Students continue fundraising � COALITION from page 3 there were some Duke students who were personally affected and would have to fly home,” said sophomore Sara Hudson, a Spectrum member and another fundraiser organizer. “Because, thank goodness, there are so few students directly affected, almost all the money will be going to the United Way.” Students requiring financial assistance to return home to care for loved ones or attend funerals may apply for the campus funds through Oct. 17. The Division of Student Affairs will review the applications, which are

available at http://csc.studentaffairs.duke.edu. Brown and Hudson said the fundraising

program has already accomplished another goal: increasing interaction between different student communities. About 40 student organizations—from fraternities and sororities to cultural groups—are participating in the program. Twq students—usually one from a greek organization and one from a cultural organization—direct each fundraising table, under the theory that interaction itself improves understanding among students. “I’ve never seen anything like this; they’re finding something that they have in common,” Brown said. “People are finding out that things are not as stereotypical as they thought.”

original designs still include moving social spaces to lower floors and replacing old plumbing and electrical work. The total budget for the project remains at about $3B million. Final decisions on how Main West renovations will progress are the next step in what administrators hope will be a transformation of upper-class residential life. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said that once plans are released, he hopes/ to spend much of October gathering student input. “I think in the next few weeks, we’re going to suggest some new ways of using the residence halls. We’re going to be talking with [Duke Student Government], Campus Council and other student groups,” he said. Next year, Duke will move fraternities and other selective houses off Main West Quadrangle to make way for an “independent corridor.” The creation of optional upper-class houses linked to

freshman dormitories will also take effect next year.

Administrators will also soon decide whether to enforce the three-year on-campus living

requirement and to mandate

that all sophomores live on West Campus. Moneta said those decisions will have to wait until the University creates the final renovation schedule. Whether renovations take place during breaks or year-round, the schedule will determine how many on-campus beds will be available next year. “It’s an enormous puzzle to put together that we’d like to roll out to the students all at once,” Moneta said. “What’s preferred is getting as much scope as we can get done at the lowest possible cost while displacing the fewest number of people.” Renovating year-round would likely require Duke to' house many more students in a swing space like Trent Drive Hall. The scenario would involve a separate debate on which living groups and independents would live there, but working just during the summer would sidestep the issue. “If they could pull it off that’d be great. We wouldn’t have to use Trent as a swing space, and it would be better for said involved,” everyone Michael Wick, president of the Interfraternity Council, one of several groups involved in the discussions.

Zaru also said that because of gender inequality in the region, the conflict has had a particular impact on women. “Being a woman was part of my struggle,” she said. “I couldn’t wait until we had a liberated Palestine so I could speak about women’s struggles.” Having grown up on a kibbutz near Palestinian villages and having had daily contact with Palestinians, Shohat said Jews and Palestinians could realistically live together in peace. “There are a lot of people who are seeking peace and who are ready to achieve peace.

O’Neill emphasizes need to fix cause of economic distress I* ECONOMY from page 2

to provide financial help to the airlines. But he indicated that the administration would resist pressure to start writing checks to every industry that finds itself in trouble. Instead, he said, the best approach was to get the airline industry stabilized, a step that he said would help many other sectors of the economy. If necessary, he said, the government could address consumer, investor and business confidence through some type ofbroadly targeted fiscal stimulus plan. The government, he said, should “make sure we’re not treating secondary or tertiary consequences, but we’re fixing the hole in the system that will make everything else work.” Responding to concern from Democrats that the administration and Republicans in Congress might use the crisis to push through politically controversial proposals like a cut in the capital gains tax, O’Neill said the White House would resist adoption of ‘’off-theshelf political things that have been paraded around.” When it comes to tax cuts, O’Neill said he had not decided on any particular approach and that the administra-

tion was looking at all options. But he said consumers seemed to be in good shape, and that the underlying economic challenge was one of helping to increase the market valuation of companies by helping them increase their free cash flows—money that does not have to go to debt repayment, operating expenses or taxes. Hie solution, he said, might be “to reduce the pressure that companies have from paying taxes,” an apparent reference to his longstanding call for reducing or eliminating corporate income taxes. Harvey Pitt, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, told the hearing that his agency would propose to make it easier for small businesses to raise money in the financial markets by streamlining paperwork requirements. After rushing in the days following the terrorist attacks, Congress pushed through a $4O billion emergency spending package and began considering a variety of additional proposals to bolster the economy. Among them were cutting the capital gains tax, cutting taxes in a way that would benefit low-income people who did not qualify for this summer’s rebate checks, expanding the unemployment insurance program and spending heavily on reconstruction programs.

Bush compares terrorism to fascism, totalitarianism P- BUSH from page 1

Defense, in an attempt to prevent attacks like those on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.

Bush compared the terrorists who plotted and carried out last week’s attacks to the Nazis. “They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century,”

he said, adding that the terrorists’ fate would be to end “in history’s unmarked graves of discarded lies.” Bush’s speech, which was interrupted frequently with applause and cheering, was his most extensive address to Americans since four hijacked jetliners on suicide missions crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a quiet field in southwestern Pennsylvania, killing more than 6,000 people. “Americans have known surprise attacks, but never before on thousands of civilians,” Bush said. “All of this was brought upon us in a single day, and night fell on a different world.” Bush Thursday night faced several remarkable and contradictory challenges as he described to the nation how he would face down a threat unlike any that has confronted an American president. He had to convey a sense of safety to an American public that is feeling more vulnerable than at any moment since World War 11. Yet to justify the war on which he is embarking, he had to convey a sense of the threat that terrorism poses to the country. He also had at once to convey a sense of urgency while pleading for patience as he and his military map out a complex global campaign. Finally, he had to convey a sense of command. He used his speech to lay out some of what his administration knows about bin Laden, the Saudi-

bom multimillionaire who is the prime suspect behind the attacks. He added

that unless Americans took the fight to nations that harbor men like bin Laden, the attacks in New York and Washington would not be the last on American soil. Speaking ofbin Laden’s terrorist organization, the president said: “We are not deceived by their pretenses to piety. We have seen their kind before.”

He added, “By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism.” Bush spoke as an American military buildup continued in the Middle East and Southwest Asia, with warplanes in striking distance ofAfghanistan and a top Air Force commander, Lt. Gen. Charles Wald, positioned at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia to run an air war in the region. The secretary of the Army, Thomas White, also said Thursday that ground troops would be sent to the area. Bush emphasized that the war would not simply be an air campaign. ‘We will direct every resource at our command, every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence and every necessary weapon of war to the disruption and defeat of the global terror network,” he said. A senior administration official, asked if “every weapon of war” included nuclear weapons, responded, “I would not interpret it that way.” The president did not give any indication of when the war would start, and did not further define for a worried American public what form it might take. He did not say whether Americans could expect their sons and daughters to be called up and sent to the mountain ranges of Afghanistan, and he did not say whether a “long campaign” meant one year or 10.

Kodak Moments

Has anyone seen the new Kodak commercials? The super-cute clips chronicle high school girls capturing their world on camera, with tear-jerking results. From the Goth girt snapping subway shots to the student bringing her classmates together on film, the minute-long spots feature kicking soundtracks and some very sneaky marketing tactics. The advertising department at Kodak has tucked web addresses inside their trendy ads. Check out the poster of poster-child "Suzi" her bedroom wall reads "foundmyvoice.org," Visit the link on the 'net, and you'll find a fake webpage, complete with reproductions of the commercial pics, plus links to community service organizations, online photo galleries and, of course, Kodak. The other commercial features a similar plug, a blackboard backdrop that reads "seemyview.com." Stick that one into your browser and find Melanie, the raven-haired high school girl showing us her world. Melanie's page has equally fake-cheesy graphics mixed with professional quality pictures. Her links include the mandatory Kodak plug, a webpage for skate culture, and a site dedicated entirely to Halloween. The pages have no storyline, no videoclips and certainly nothing comparable to the flawless web marketing displayed during the Blair Witch blitz. Still, the sites are a lot of fun, especially if you dig the commercials. Clicking the Kodak link takes us to the company homepage, where you can examine cameras, check out film and see the future of Kodak advertising. On the company webpage are mini-profiles of Kodak kids Melanie and Suzi, as well as new additions Cody, Brooke, Drew, Joel, Cindy and John. Recess will be looking out for their Kodak moments, coming soon to a TV near you. —By Faran Krentcil —

Forget the WWF To hell with the WCW. Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, The Rock and every other meathead sucker in a Speedo can start packing, because the future of professional wrestling entertainment is making its way to the ring. Can you see it? No? Look down... Ah, there it is. That's right, it's "midget wrestling," and it's every redneck's dream. In a stroke of exploitive genius, someone combined the zany antics of little people with the poetry-in-motion that is the world of pro wrestling. The result; fun, fun, fun—in a four-foot package! Apparently, size doesn't matter, as these puny pugilists wage war, much to the delight of a hygienically challenged crowd. Actually, midget wrestling has been around longer than you think, even enjoying a place at Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation table for a period of time. Alas, fortune smiles upon us all again, as the sport's resurgence is being noticed 'round the world. Violent Midgets, an especially hard-core association, is flourishing thanks the talents of such notables as Skabbs, Midget D and our favorite, Puppet the Psycho Dwarf. Be very afraid —pint-size and pissed off is a deadly combination. Could this be the wave of the future? Just picture this Pay-Per-View event—a hard-core-steel-cage-celebrity-ladder match featuring Fantasy Island's Tattoo pitted against TV's Webster. Who would win?

All By Himself Ben forsakes the Fold and shines solo-style.

simple formula: First, there was Ben Folds Five, which was actually comprised of only three members. Then, Ben Folds of Ben Folds Five dropped two of the original Five three, which left only one due to the fact that there were only three to begin with. So gone are the Five By David and two of the three, leaving simply one—Ben Folds. Got it? Good. Now go get the new album, Rockin' the Suburbs, a CD that is sure to please—regardless of your mathematical prowess or deductive reasoning skills. Chapel Hill native Ben Folds is back, this time simplifying the equation and silencing any doubts as to whether he could survive without the supporting cast. Not only does Rockin' the Suburbs equal everything the Folds trio offered up, it surpasses them all and then some. Make no mistake —Ben Folds Five was a fine band and praiseworthy for intermingling their quirky, light-hearted geekiness with deeper, more melodic arrangements, creating albums that were both honest and satirical, subtle and biting. Alone, however, Folds very simply takes it to the next level, offering a thoughtful, introspective look at life, more often than not opting for the serious instead of the silly, a masterful move that lends beginning-to-end cohesion to the final product. Without band mates, Folds is free to experiment with a variety of instruments, and experiment he does, with cellos, GRADE: drum machines and synths, a welA come variation that—while adding dimension to the sound of old fails to upstage his trademark piano, the jangly, jumping backbone of his music. Hell, Folds even lets a guitar sneak in on a track or two, —

—

a big step for the guy whose band didn't even include the industry's lead instrument of choice. Maybe he's slipping or expanding as he matures, but one thing is still certain: Put him in front of his Baldwin, and he's got all of his instrumental bases covered —the rest is just background music. Walters Folds shoots from the hip and heads straight for the heart with his reflective, emotional lyrics and

somber, "learning life's lessons" ballads. On the track "Still Fighting It," he sings to his son, "Twenty years from now maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers/ And 1 can tell you about today and how I picked you up and everyng changed." Likewise, on Fred Jones Part 2," a stirring uet with Cake's John y/lcCrea, Folds examines the pains of growing old as he puts into boxes the "things that remind him that life has been good." And then there's the final track, a touching love song to his wife in which he admits that he is "The Luckiest." Deeply moving and never sappy—watch out fellas he just might make you cry. If the sensitivity bit isn't your thing, well, there's always "Rockin' the Suburbs," the title track and Ben Folds' glorious return to (and only stop in) the world of wise-ass white-boy angst. Like the man says, "I'm pissed off but I'm too polite/When people break in the McDonald's line." It's not as meaningful as the others, but it's undeniably fun, and a nice suspension of the serious. Overall, Rockin' the Suburbs proves that Ben Folds has successfully shrugged the band baggage and is sitting pretty in the solo zone. A new hand has been dealt, but with this ace, he's not folding anytime soon. □ —

Dylan

What's odd about this album is the ■music—the man who never found a solitary guitar chord and harmonica blare that he did not like has greatly diversified his sound. Love and Theft is a collection of folky rock songs, folky folk songs, jazz and rapid-fire blues. Expanding on the stylistic changes he tried on 1997‘s Time Out of Mind. Dylan has compiled a soulful album that moves the listener with its upbeat melodies and words. Don't be surprised if halfway into a song you feel your ass start to shake and your hips follow. It's the danceable Dylan. It's also the story-tellin' Dylan. The album's lead track, "Tweedfie Dumb andTweedlie Dee," is a rocking retelling of the lives of author Lewis Carroll’s characters —but instead of bumpkins, they're sly con artists. Dylan also rocks out on "Honest With Me," with a sharp slide guitar that matches perfectly with his gravelly voice {at some points, Dylan's grumblings can be mistaken for stomach noises). "On High Water," we hear the story of the 1920s Mississippi flood, retold from the vantage point of the people who drowned in it: "Don't reach out for me/Can't you see I'm drowning too?" "Po' Boy" is a humorous song in which Dylan resorts to knockknock jokes and wordplay to sing the ballad of every boy who's been walked upon. The blues are back on "Summer Day," "Bye and Bye" and best of all on "Lonesome Day Blues" "Floater" opens with a refreshing violin that meanders in and out of trouble much like the song's protagonist. The only track on the album that seems a bit out of place is the highly polished "Mississippi." Dylan snatched the song from Time Out of Mind and handed it off to Sheryl Crow. Crow jazzed it up and sounded out a delightful story of misfortune in the Deep South. Dylan slows it down, and while it works overall, it's a lot less fun than the rest of the album—there's nothing to dance to. After four decades in the music business, Dylan has maintained an unimaginable level of personal creativity. The rest of the industry needs to think about the fact that our country's most versatile artist is a 60-year-old man. Then they need to go buy a copy of Love and Th

Spirit? Ghost Viorld is smart, but it falls short on fun. BATGIRL BIRCH; Superheroine Birch suits up.

You

have to respect a film like Ghost World. Small, independent and quirky, it posesses an underlying intelligence that is refreshing in what has been an otherwise brainless past several months of movies. But in its attempt to defy the typical Hollywood formula for big box-office numbers, Ghost World falls short in the one area that almost all of the so-called popcorn movies stack up on: fun. Don't get me wrong. I'd recommend Ghost World over almost every other film in the theaters right now. But is it fun? Not really. Movies are supposed to be entertaining Whether deeply intellectual or socially conscious or 100 perBy AleX cent serious, films should engage the audience and allow them to sit back and enjoy the ride. Perhaps the reason Ghost World doesn't succeed on this count is that the characters —while complicated and well-rounded are incredibly dull. Thora Birch, who jumped onto the scene in 1999 as Kevin Spacey's daughter in GRADE: American Beauty, is Enid, a recent high school graduate who must enter the real world that she has been longing for. She is accompanied by her best friend, Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), who, though more serious than Enid, shares with her a —

rebellious anti-status-quo attitude that sometimes gets the two into trouble. On one occasion, they play a prank on a stranger; Steve Buscemi's Seymour, an uninspired jazz music junkie who collects records and sells them at flea markets on the weekends. Enid feels sorry for Seymour, however, and quickly befriends him. The film then follows Enid's evolving relationships with Rebecca and Seymour while she tries to find her place in the real world. Though the setup is good and the dialogue and acting are strong, the characters are simply boring to watch. Seymour, though goodhearted, is supposed to be Garinger tedious, and Buscemi easily accomplishes this. Rebecca starts off with some vigor, but once she gets a job and an apartment, both Enid and the audience lose all interest in her. And Enid's journey to find herself in a cynical world doesn't really go anywhere. We are left yearning for some scene in which we can really become emotionally involved with her—a moment that ultimately never happens. Ghost World is based on a comic book by Daniel Cloves, who penned the screenplay,

and it was directed by Terry Zwigoff (Crumb). The intentions of both Cloves and Zwigoff, along with those of the cast, are good, but Ghost World ultimately doesn't deliver on the fun. □

Don't Throw Stones ' .erly And th Ie awan for -h the most ludidprous anvd uttf painful movie of the year goes to (drum roll not even deserved)... The Glass House l This new thriller starring Leelee Sobieski and Stellan Skarsgird is so excruciating, it almost warrants comparison to last year's "Who-in-God's-Name-Greenlighted.

This-Piece-Of-Crap?" winner, Battlefield Earth. The Glass Hous.e is the type of film you wish the bigwigs at the Motion Picture Association of America could screen and decide not to release to the public before kicking its writer (Wesley Strick) and director (Daniel Sackheim) out of Hollywood forever. "We gave you your chance," the letter to this dynamic duo could read, "but you failed... miserably ." • Strick's poor excuse for a script has Sobieski's Ruby and her younger brother, Rhett (the slightly annoying Trevor Morgan from Jurassic Park III), living in their former neighbors' house after their parents are killed in a car accident.

ON I>E HUNT; Sobieski searches for Hellenic inspiration. Skarsgard and Diane Lane are Ruby and Rhett's new guardians, Terry and Erin Glass. The Glasses live in an enormous glass house high in the Malibu hills,.

If you hadn't figured it out from the trailers, it takes about 10 minutes to realize that Terry is absolutely psychotic, in deep financial trouble and probably involved with the accident. Erin, on the other hand, is a morphine addict who's a few cards short of a full deck. The dialogue is so laugh-out-loud painful, it's difficult to describe. Isolating an example is impossible, because no one awful line deserves mention over any other. The acting isn't much to write home about either. Sobieski—who looks so much like Helen Hunt it's almost scary—proves once again that she is one of the most unappealing young actresses in Hollywood. She just sits there on the screen, evoking little interest in whether the Glasses, of whom fiftftjMP; she is suspicious from the beginning, killed B ■ her parents. (The fact that she calls her parents' estate lawyer but not the police for help at the end of the film also testifies to Ruby's halfbrained motivations.) Skarsgard, who has been brilliant in small independent films like Good Will Hunting and Dancer in the Dark, is absolutely wasted in this big-budget disaster. Possibly the only thing that saves The Glass House from dropping to the level of Battlefield is that the film takes place in easily the most drop-dead gorgeous house in Southern California. So, kudos to the film's location scout. God knows no one else involved in this debacle deserves any credit. —By Alex Garinger ,

With conflicting themes and poor direction, Hardball has an identity crisis.

Field of Dreams, the secret to success is building the field. In Rookie of the Year, the key is an arm of steel. In Hardball, this season's newest baseball flick, the way to win is listening to Notorious 8.1.G.'s "Big Poppa." But can we even call this movie a baseball flick? Oddly enough, it is just as much a bookie-on-the-run thriller. And the religious symbolism that opens the movie and the Christian decorations all over the hero's house are equally confounding. What's going on here?

In the first unclear whether we're supposed to be laughing or crying, which could in five minutes, it's unclear if the lead, Connor O'Neil (Keanu Reeves), is in part be due to Reeves' complete incapacity for comedy. On one hand, the movie tries to be light hearted, with DeWayne Warren, Europe about to embark on a missionary adventure. A priest asks O'Neil what he is "looking for," and he replies, "I'm lookin' for the Bulls to cover the Bryan Hearne and Julian Griffith's endearing performances as little league spread."

thinking and feeling, a role many believed had been lost amid the banal chorus of bubblegum pop. Last week, in the midst of terror and destruction, Americans shared their sorrow through the media. For several days, television and radio joined forces to provide a constant and immediate source of information. Toward the end of the week, as radio stations slowly started to play music again, they carried regular newscasts and other special reports. But something was different. Not only were there news breaks containing sound bites of survivors' tales and updates on Bush's next move—the music had changed too. The Backstreet Boys were no longer flanked by Britney Spears and Mandy Moore—instead, ancient U2 blared across the airwaves. "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" probably played more last weekend than at any time since its original release. But now, the opening lines seem to speak the sentiment among Americans; "I can't believe the news today/ I can't close my eyes and make it go away." A flip of the dial might have brought another oddly resonant 'Bos theme, the Talking Heads' "To Life During Wartime." Soon, it became clear that the role of music and radio is changing in the wake of the crisis. No longer simply something to break the silence, e

We are now at war and our lifestyles seem to be changing by the minute. The Talking Heads tune and others verbalize the feelings and fears many still harbor days and weeks after the attack. The bright artistic complacence of economic prosperity is fading quickly. Last Tuesday morning, lives changed and music found away to become culturally pertinent again. During Vietnam, Creedence Clearwater released "Fortunate Son" and David Bowie offered "Space Oddity." Of course, the difference today is that young, hip, politically-minded musicians seem harder to come by, so we must steal from our parents. Yet news and politics are finding ways to creep into pop music, though not in true musical compositions. Songs with "actualities"—those containing voice overs and sound bites —are proliferating daily. Dozens have flooded the airwaves, from U2's "Peace on Earth" to Jewel's "Hands." Some feature our nation's leaders while others focus on survivors, but each tells the story of Sept. 11 with a stirring and heartfelt mix of patriotism and loss. Once again, people are looking to music as a source of comfort and inspiration, so perhaps it's not surprising that Americans have turned off Sugar Ray and turned on U2. As more tragic and trying events unfold, a further deluge of radio reality will undoubtedly appear.

Censored Sentiments? I

"And think it's gonna be a long, long time, before touchdown brings me 'round again to find, I'm not the man they think I am at all, I'm a rocketman."—Elton John, "Rocketman." Don't tell Clear Channel Communications, the owner of more than 1,000 domestic radio stations, that you read those lyrics in print. In the wake of last week's terrorism, "Rocketman" has been temporarily banned from airplay. We know what you're thinking— most Elton John songs should be banned from airplay, but this is different. Effective Sept. 12 until who knows, Clear Channel has distributed a list to radio disc jockeys of 162 songs (more if you count the en todo ban on anything by Rage Against the Machine) that are not to be played. In the case of some songs—for example Metallica's "Seek and Destroy" and R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It" —the ban on radio airplay makes some sense, and it could widely be viewed as not an act of censorship, but an act of tastefulness (the kind of thing that Sen. Joe Lieberman always complains about). However, there are some very strange entries in Clear Channel's list. There are the ironic: John Lennon's anthem about peace and pacifism, "Imagine," is among the barred; U2's 1984 rock song, "Sunday Bloody Sunday',' about the tragedy of religious-based violence in Northern Ireland, is also on the chopping block. And there are the weird: Dave Matthews' Band's "Crash Into Me," James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" and Simon and Garfunkle's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." When the songs of hippie liberal pacifists are being censored, one begins to wonder. No one at Clear Channel is certain when the barred songs will be allowed to air again; also, many of the selections for censorship were done so by Clear executives—not exactly the kind of people who have their pulse on the heartbeat of America. Then again, the list of banned songs does include Alanis Morissettes' "Ironic" and Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party." For that, we can be thankful.

MTV Shines While continuous news reports dominated the established broadcast networks and their cable compatriots, a different type of coverage appeared on Music Television. MTV and its all-music sister MTV2 initiated demographically-savvy live programming for their teenage and twentysomething audiences. Ironically, Total Request Live host Carson Daly, MTV's central personality, assumed the role of pseudo-therapist to the masses of young people who tuned to Music Television for support. Throughout the week, the twin networks periodically went silent, displaying messages about the tragedy from viewers and music personalities against bluescreen backdrops. Acts like Blink-182 and Alien Ant Farm provided posts. The quietude seemed quite powerful on the music-devoted networks, which have built a franchise from the marriage of sound and video. Total Request Live, filmed in the heart of New York City's Times Square, presented uncharacteristically somber broadcasts. The usual crowds of screaming fans in the street below were missing, though the wall of flags covering the building facing MTV's studio bore testament to resurgent patriotism. Exemplifying the power of television, MTV became a communal meeting center for the young, a “town hall" for the grieving. Thousands of teenagers logged on to MTV's website to post responses to the tragedy, many of which appeared in the network's blue-screen moments of silence. As on radio, older and established hits like Oasis's "Wonderwall" emerged in the video rotation. Gone (temporarily) were the booty jangles and pop standards that normally dominate broadcasts. The result was a montage of introspective and largely mellow tunes that quite appropriately embodied the tenor of the events. The key to MTV's success was the absence of pretense: By avoiding a hard news perspective it couldn't handle (John

page nine

Norris is no Tom Brokaw), the network served its niche and served it well. Sadly, in one of the nation's darkest moments, MTV enjoyed one of its best.

Internet Action The tragic events of last Tuesday are no less apparent on the Internet. From online news sites to personal webpages, people and organizations around the world have been reacting to the events and mobilizing to help those in need. The online community's response and range of activities are changing the way people communicate and deal with crises. From extensive news coverage and online chat forums to electronic relief funds, the landscape of the web community has undergone a major shift in focus over the past two weeks. People are using the tremendous power of the Internet and its technology to reach out, share and learn. Mobilizing aid programs for victims in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania has been a major focus. You'd be hard-pressed to find a site that doesn't feature the tragedy or sponsor a link to organizations like the American

Red Cross. The response has been tremendous. According to the Red Cross, they have raised over $92 million in online donations since Sept. 11. Many other organizations have enjoyed significant, but less substantial, success. This past week, President George W. Bush encouraged Americans to "continue giving through websites" in a speech in the White House Rose Garden. The president also announced the creations of "The American Liberty Partnership," a consortium of several high-tech leaders, including AOL/Time Warner, Microsoft, Amazon, eßay, Cisco Systems and Yahoo. The group has encouraged online giving and created fibertyunites.org, a site dedicated to educating the public on how they can help those who have been affected. The unprecedented role of the Internet in conveying news and motivating collective action marks another step in the web's rapid development. As the online movement strengthens, one thing is certain: Americans will keep logging on and tuning in.

With the apparent death of Napster, a new crop of file-swapping shareware is picking up the slack.

If anything, Napster's slow demise has created a backlash, unleashing dozens of imitators that By Eric mimic its file-sharing capabilities, several even improving upon it When Napster began filtering songs from its service this past spring, frustrated music lovers

One of the most user friendly file-swapping programs on the net, Audiogalaxy claims to be "the web's best music search." Its interface is entirely web-based; all you have to download is their satellite program. Navigation basically consists of your homepage, where you'll see the status of your satellite's downloads, and a search box. Unlike Napster, however, there is no separate search box for artist and song; instead, you enter information like you would in a web-based search engine. To speed up your downloads, your satellite connects you to the Audiogalaxy user closest in location to you, thereby making your geographic neighbor your virtual neighbor. Another distinctive feature is the ability to search by genre, giving users the chance to discover new music. Downloads are relatively

v because its established, there's much more music to choose from. Beware of marketers' "surveillance"tie-ins, though, as Audiogalaxy is reportedly embedded with such "spyware." &

these new file-swapping programs also expanded the range of content that users could explore, by allowing the trading of video and image files. While Napster is due to return as a pay service, it's doubtful that anyChoy one will want to go back to it with free music still available elsewhere. While this is bad news for Napster and the industry, it's certainly good news for music lovers. Here's a brief guide to some of the best alternatives out there. While they're far from perfect, you'll never be missing Napster again. â–Ą

Among the best alternatives to Napster, Bearshare is built on the powerful peer-to-peer technology of Gnutella, which doesn't depend on centralized servers. However, unlike Gnutella, which is notorious for being very difficult to use, Bearshare has a relatively user-friendly interface. Furthermore, the program has a large fanbase, making it easier to find more obscure files. All the search options are very nicely laid out, and you can search for all different types of files, although no bitrate is displayed, so it's hard to judge the quality of the audio. Since there's no centralized server, your initial connection may be slow, and be careful when selecting files you want to share, or you may find yourself unwittingly exposing your entire hard drive. On the plus side, you can like Napster, you can compile a list of files from a specific issue multiple searches at once, and user. However, be sure to read the licensing agreement completely, because by keeping the software free, you also download a bunch of removable but hidden apps.

Like Bearshare, Limewire is another Gnutellabased decentralized peer-to-peer software program. Although problematic at times, Limewire has some really cool features and a tight interface to back it up. The search engine is straightforward and familiar: Type in keywords, specify the type of file you want and hit "search." Your results can be organized by file quality and connection speed, and Limewire will rank the results by star ratings to indicate which ones will most likely be successful. The coolest feature of Limewire is something called the "Smart Download," which downloads the file with the fastest connection automatically for you, or gives you the option to search for similar file names. A community option allows you to connect to specific areas or global regions, allowing you to easily parse through material of particular interests. A big nuisance, however, is the absence of an estimate for how long a download will take to complete

An incredibly popular service that continues to grow every day, Nashvillebased Music City's Morpheus actually is powered by the proprietary technology behind KaZaA. With over four million files shared, it's definitely a leader in the pack of Napster clones. Users praise Morpheus for its intuitive interface and fast results. You can sort by title, artist, media type, category, download time and size. Morpheus also utilizes a "pinging" algorithm to return file sources most proximate to your computer. Additionally, Morpheus offers compartmentalized downloads, allowing you to maximize connection speeds from a variety of sources. Unlike Napster, however, there are no community functions like chat. Furthermore, some iGUS users have reportedly complained of bugginess and drain on system resources. Despite its flaws, the service maintains an incredibly large library of goodies for download. Hopefully, Morpheus won't follow in KaZaA's footsteps when the latter becomes a subscription-based service. .

work line-up. Wait... did 1 say new?

Oops—they did it again. I mean that, literally. There is nothing really "new" about the line-up. Popstars 11. The Mole 11. Millionaire is getting its own channel (it used to be called ABC). Even freshout-of-the-box pilots fit into the cookie cutter TV creations of yesteryear. In short, we have a "token" season —formulaic down to its inane attempts at innovation. A few examples Token Superman Show Ah, Smallville—Wß's new "reinterpretation" of the Superman story, following teenage Clark Kent's discovery of his superpowers in rural Kansas. But wait—this isn't even the first "re-interpretation"—who can forget Lois and Clark starring TV movie king Dean Cain and Ms. Radio Shack? And bonus points to anyone who remembers the original "it's-Superman-but-with-atwist" series—the 'Bos cartoon Superboy. This franchise seems to have more half-lives than kryptonite. The WB hopes to "freshen it up" with their own token additions: attractive new faces, pensive expressions and a quirky relative or two.

Saget's had this gig before on Full House, but his unforgettable cameo in Half Baked gives him the slight coolness advantage over Belushi. Either way, it's doubtful you'll be watching either show. Token College Show Actually, Undeclared looks pretty promising, especially coming from the creators of the critical-winner/ratings-loser Freaks and Geeks. Advance press says it's eccentric and funny. But could it hit too close to home? And that's just a brief sample. You've got new vehicles for Ellen De Generes, Jason Alexander and Daniel Stern, all sitcom staples. There's The Amazing Race and Lost in addition to new seasons of the billion other reality shows dominating the airwaves. Any way you slice it, all the "new" shows are just repackaged franchises, celebrities or genres.

There's a new reality show on NBC called Lost It's where they take people, blindfold them, drop them in the middle of nowhere and have them find their way back to the Statue of Liberty, We here at Trends decided to play Lost, Duke style. We took some random freshmen, blindfolded them, gave them a bud and dropped them in the middle of a random dorm room, They had ten minutes to find their way to the Chapel. Could they do it? No way. Take a stroll around Duke dorms and one thing becomes clear—aside from the occasional window seat or high ceiling, every place looks the same. It's impossible to tell the rooms in Craven apart from the ones in Crowell, and the only difference between Pegram and Brown is the issue of free substances versus substance free. In the interest of annihilating conformity, Trends went on a mission: seek out the most creative rooms at Duke, and make a painted room of our own. The first part of our quest was easy; it turns out that more than a few Duke students have opted out of standard white walls.

Using less than a gallon of paint, and six hours of labor time, Crais and herfoommate spent their junior year making a one-room double into a real home, "It doesn't really feel like we live in a dorm.... it's cozy; not a cell anymore," she says about her crib. Other stories poured into Trends about walls with graffiti, walls with handprints, walls with quotes and murals of the ocean. We were so inspired, we had to get in on the act of dorm decorating. Trends took the plunge and decided to paint our very own room, Our first stop; Home Depot. For about $2O, we bought enough paint to cover an entire single on West, plus brushes, rollers and the essential drop cloth. After picking out a color scheme (bright blue with pale yellow accents), we cleared out the rugs and covered the furniture. Then we went to work. Painting is very easy; not spilling the paint is very hard. In less than two hours, the walls were covered—and so were the floor, computer, aCD case and a brand new pair of New Balance sneakers (thankfully, the graffiti look is taking hold). It took less than 20 minutes for the blue paint to dry and the embellishments to begin. In under three hours, a plain-white single was transformed into a small masterpiece, periwinkle with yellow stars on the ceiling.

THE BED MAY BE EMPTY, but this West Campus room looks a lot more home-like thanks to its painted walls. The giant stars give itthe feel of an amateur Van Gogh,

The architect William Morris engraved a saying over his fireplace: "Art is long; life is short. Live beautifully," Trends is proud to accept his chalienge and begin to create our own little world outside of the standard Duke style. Looking around at the new blue room, it's becoming increasingly clear that there's no place like home —especially when you paint it yourself. —By Faran Krentcil

Theater Theory Is Positive Math and art share a storied past, and the tradition continues with a recent trend in theater.

Last

year at the Walter Kerr Theater, a 75-page play packed houses, stunned critics and became the next link in an American theater trend. The play was David Auburn's Proof, the 2001 Pulitzer Prize winner chronicling Catherine, a brilliant recluse dealing with her father's death and her own mental instability. At the play's climax, Catherine reveals that she is the true author of a complex, exceptional mathematical proof. Produced by Manhattan Theatre Club, Proof continues the work of previous contemporary plays, bringing two unlikely forces together: theater and math. Links between the arts and the sciences have always been in vogue. Mathematicians have been picking apart the formulas behind Beethoven and Mozart for decades, and studies consistently show children engaged in the arts perform better in school. Scientists even note brain cell stimulation owing to classical music. It's been proven that the arts and sciences mix well. Contemporary playwrights are taking this idea further, transforming their works into complex formulas combining humanity, history and all things mathematical. One of the first hits to incorporate math is Arcadia, a Tom Stoppard play first published in 1991. Arcadia spans two centuries, alternating between 1809 and the present day. It revolves around Thomasina Coverly, a 13-year old girl living in the past and working on a

play fast-forwards 200 years and ends up in present-day England, with Thomasina's descendants pouring over her work and comparing it to their own *

calculations. Arcadia features, among other things, chaos theory, the second law of thermodyB Faran namics and enough unrequited love to fill a season of soap operas. Arcadia was one of the few plays ever reviewed in

mathematicians. Players performed own production in fall of 1998. After scoring a with Arcadia, thea producers took chances on more

shows that featun math. Satirist Michael Frayn wa commissioned by London's National Theatre to create new work. The result was Copenhagen, an ensemble piece that throws together Werner Heisenberg, a Ge. for the Nazis; and Neils Bohr, the Danish Jew who developed the atom bomb. The show attempts to reconstruct the real conversation that took place between the two men in 1941 Copenhagen, while wrestling with the ethics behind scientific progress. It's a harrowing story that evokes real history with the hypothetical and manages to sneak quantum mechanics and particle theory into the mix. After the success of Copenhagen, which garnered several Tonys for its efforts, more math and science hit the stage. First it was Experiment With an Air Pump, a play based on the 1768 painting of a science-experiment. The play featured a script that toyed with time travel and medical ethics and Krentcil ran off Broadwa Y to mixed reviews. In 1998, a musical entitled A New Brain premiered at Lincoln Center in Washington, D.C. Written by William Finn, the production followed a young musician through his aneurysm and recovery, intertwining neuroscience with ballads and romance. Even Duke playwrights got into the act, with two shows in previous New Works Festivals dealing with drama in math and science (they were Mental Math by , Alison Gluvna 'Ol and Mind Trap by Ali Safir 'O2). Hollywood also threw its hat into the ring, cranking out the 1998 hit Good Will Hunting, as well as the haunting thriller Pi' which dealt with a deranged mathematician discovering the true meaning of 3.14. Coincidentally, Pi's leading man Ben Shenkman is also starring in Proof, as is former Copenhagen star Patrick Tovatt. As Proof changes casts this season and embarks on its first national tour, avid playgoers anxiously await the crop of new shows to hit stages this fall. Will a script involving math and science be among them? If past preview lineups are any indication, drama types can keep looking for doses of NS and QR this year, as playwrights and producers increasingly find the equation for success in the arts and the sciences. □

Football returns to action against Northwestern By TYLER ROSEN The Chronicle

When No. 16 Northwestern (1-0) and Duke (0-2) step onto the field at Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday at 6 p.m., it will not be the beginning of a normal football game. The conflict and the drama will not be played out on the scoreboard—unless Northwestern, the preseason favorite in the Big Ten, reaches for Florida State-like numbers; instead, the conflict and the drama will play out in the hearts of the players and coaches. The linemen will grapple with each other as they grapple with their feelings about last Tuesday’s national tragedy. . When Duke players square up to tackle a Northwestern ball-carrier, they will see an American flag sewn on his jersey. When Northwestern players look at each other in the huddle, they will see the initials RAW on another patch, in memory of former teammate Rashidi Wheeler, a senior safety who died this summer while leading conditioning drills. When Duke coach Carl Franks sees his big defensive linemen leaving the field, he will be reminded of an old teammate —defensive lineman Rob Lenoir—who likely perished in last week’s terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Even the revenue from the ticket booths will be different; it will go to relief efforts in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania,

where the attacks left more than 5,500 people dead. Earlier this week, Northwestern coach Randy Walker lamented the difficulties he has had in helping his team deal with the tragedy and prepare to play football again.

“[The terrorist attack] was something that came out of the blue Tuesday, and [was] something that rocks our whole society,” Walker said. “Young people and older folks alike, I think we’re all greatly affected by this. I don’t know that there’s any magic formula in a bottle that we sprinkle on somebody and say, Well, everything is going to be okay’ It is different. I’d say there are some chapters they left out of the Coaching 101

handbook, and that’s one ofthem.” Northwestern and Walker had already been traumatized by Wheeler’s death. Then, the players and coaches wrestled with the meaning offootball in the context of something so important as human life. “We all think that life is a certainty” Walker said. “Well, life is an uncertainty. There are no guarantees out there, and you need to rejoice and take pleasure in the things you have and the opportunities you have and the blessings you have.” The opportunity to play football tomorrow is one Walker relishes, and he believes his team feels the same way. Duke coach Carl Franks thinks the game may provide a temporary distraction for him and his players See FOOTBALL on page 16 �

CARL FRANKS will likely have good friend Rob Lenoir in the back of his mind when Duke plays Saturday.

Fishing for Bass: Prized recruit visits Duke today chance to go out and show what I have right away.” The chance to contribute right away makes Duke more appealing than Tennessee—a team already deep at center. “I guess I could say I’ve been kind of spoiled since I started basketball,” Bass said. “I’ve never sat on the bench for more than five minutes if I didn’t have to, if I didn’t have four fouls or we hadn’t already won the game and the subs were coming in....I don’t know if I’d be able to go into a program and sit. I’m the kind of person who says ‘OK coach, I’m ready, put me in.’” Indeed, Bass has not had to sit much in her high school career. As a freshman, she started and starred for her perenially-strong high school team. And as a sophomore and a junior, she was Wisconsin’s Miss Basketball, Wisconsin AP Player of the Year and USA Today Wisconsin Player of the Year, displaying dominance that is unprecedented in state history. But the accolades do not prevent Bass from setting goals and realizing there is more to accomplish as a player. Bass intends to work on her endurance and ability to play at a fast tempo—two aspects of her game which would be important for fast-moving Duke. “I don’t want to be a post player that just runs down the court,” Bass said. “I want to be athletic and sprint down the court just as well as the forwards and guards do.”

GRID PICKS BRYAN CENTER, SATURDAY 6:47 p.m. After more than a year of pretending to try to see the worst losing streak in the country increase, the Grid Pickers were finally on their way to an actual football game. But, they of course got sidetracked and eventually decided the Bryan Center was much more compelling than the football team. “You know, we really should make it to the game,” said Tyler “put me on press” Rosen, a member of the wannabe trio currently sitting in first place. “The Blue Devils are probably only losing by 53 at this point, and I need to see at least one play so I can suggest a corny headline.” Harold “I don’t have the” Gut “-s to stay in first place either” mann agreed, but also added that he still needed to be paid after winning last year’s picks.

However, the last members of the trio, Amhika “pork chop” Kumar,

Dave “I never write with blue” Ingram and Martin “Maureen Dowd” Barna didn’t care to go to the game. Kumar had gone to the lobby shop to buy her 10th Luna Bar for Women ofthe day. Meanwhile Barna kept pretentiously trying to show off his football knowledge to Ingram, who was desperate to learn so he wouldn’t be the only guy grid picker who knew nothing about football. Kevin “et tu, Brute?” Lees and Paul “really bad o-” Doran didn’t care about football—they were too concerned whether the basketeers were “being entertained by the women’s social club.” Lees keep muttering something about entertaining himself.

Women’s soccer searching Duke, No. 12 Maryland set for identity this weekend to square off this weekend The Blue Devils will face off against undefeated Missouri and Georgia in the 11th annual Duke Adidas Classic. By GREG VEIS The Chronicle

A mere three weeks and four games into the women’s soccer season, the Blue Devils (2-2) need answers and victories in a pivotal weekend against tough non-

conference foes. Their contests Friday and Sunday against Missouri (5-0) and Georgia (2-11), respectively, in the 11th annual Duke Adidas Classic at Koskinen Stadium could potentially sink a veteran team that had illusions of NCAA Tournament success or they could propel Duke into the conference season with newfound confidence and poise. “It sucks that these games are so important so early in the season,” senior defenseman Katie Heaps said. “Nevertheless, we are so excited to go out and play, and I think that things will work out for us Lately, however, Duke, beset by a slew of injuries and an anemic offense, has struggled to live up to its preseason expectations. The Blue Devils’ victories have come against Davidson and UNCCharlotte, two lowly squads, while they have lost to Penn State and Maryland, their more legitimate opponents. In addition, they have not competed outside of practice for two whole weeks ”

because of their canceled tournament in San Diego last weekend. It will definitely be a big couple of games for us,” coach Robbie Church said. In practice the last couple weeks, I think that we have sorted out what we needed to in order for us to be successful this weekend.” As the Blue Devils look to revive their chances this season, Missouri has defied all expectations during the best start in its program’s history. Senior Dyana Russell and sophomore Adriene Davis have simply dropped opposing defensemen up front. During the Tigers’ last contest, Davis nabbed two school records—one for scoring (8 points) and the other for assists (4) in a single game. However, for all of Davis’ explosiveness, Missouri still prefers to grind its opponents down rather than fly by them.

“I expect a typical ACC-Big 12 matchup on Friday that features two opposing styles,” Church said. “They will play low-pressure soccer with a defensive emphasis, and we like to play an uptempo game. If our outside midfielders do well, that will be the key to the game.” Sunday’s game should not prove to be much easier. The Bulldogs, while far from dominant, play a well-balanced brand of soccer that keeps scores low and games tight. One bounce in either

team’s direction could decide the outcome of this contest. And the Blue Devils badly need the ball to dribble their way this weekend for fear of potentially seeing another season drift away at such an early age.

Kustok has made a name for himself in the Big Ten. He has shown tremendous consistency, throwing 237 consecutive passes without an interception. He teams with WR Sam Simmons to form a deadly combo; the pair shredded UNLV’s defense last game. CO CO

can step up and have a big game

(/)>“

Chris Douglas is a rising star for the Blue Devils. After leading all freshman in all-purpose yards last year, he ranks first in the ACC so far this season. He will face a Wildcat defense that, according to ESPN analyst Mel Kiper, includes some of the nation’s best linebackers.

D. Bryant has had shown improvement from last year, completing over 47 percent of his throws while only registering one interception. Northwestern’s secondary is a bit questionable, allowing UNLV to throw for over 300 yards.

EVEN

Duke punter Trey McDonald has struggled, averaging only 34.1 yards per punt while having two punts blocked. Waiting for McDonald’s punts will be Sam Simmons, as dangerous on special teams as he is at wide receiver.

These two teams could not be in more different situations. The Wildcats are aiming for a Big Ten title, a Bowl Championship Series berth, and possibly a Heisman Trophy for their star running back. Meanwhile, Duke is coming off of a 0-11 season and has opened up this year by going 0-2. After losing its last 14 games, Duke needs a victory just to keep their morale from slipping completely. Chris Douglas and Ronnie Hamilton have been bright spots, but Northwestern’s trio of Kustok, Anderson and Simmons should ulti—Compiled by Evan Davis mately prove too dangerous for the Blue Devils to handle. This game will be high scoring, but in the end, Northwestern wins 45-24.

The Chronicle

RB/QB combo gives Wildcats options � FOOTBALL from page 11 from the nation’s problems. For Saturday night’s game, Duke has its own problems to worry about. First, the Blue Devils must stop, or at least slow down, the ferocious Wildcat offense, which averaged 82.7 plays per game last year and had 98 plays two weeks ago in a 37-28 victor} 7 over UNLV. “You look at Damien Anderson, who rushed for over 2,000 yards last year [and 23] touchdowns,” Franks said. “They’ve got a pretty powerful weapon with him in the backfield, along with [Zak] Kustok, who threw for over 2,000 yards last season. “Their offense is very similar to Clemson’s,” he added. “They spread you out to run the ball. They’ve got a quarterback who is similar to [Clemson’s Woody] Dantzler—not quite the same athletic ability, but a quick quarterback running it and an accurate passer

passing it.” Duke also has to avoid making the mental mistakes that cost it the Rice game and turned the contest against Florida State into a blowout. After a two-week layover, it is often difficult to avoid sloppiness, and national events make the necessary focus even harder to maintain. Despite these concerns, most agree that this team is much better than last year’s, which lost in Evanston 38-5. “We’re nowhere near the same football team we were last year,” Franks said. “We’re playing much better on defense. We’re protecting the quarterback a lot better than we did last year.”

The hidden war “We have seen their kind before. They’re the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history’s unmarked grave of discarded lies.” Such remarks were characteristic ofPresident George W. Bush’s address to a joint session of Congress Thursday night. Beyond the pageantry of an event to bolster public confidence and beyond the symbolism of British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s presence in the gallery, the content of the speech itself presented the American, peo-

ple—and the world—with the road that lies ahead. Afghanistan had its options presented quite clearly. They could either end their support of terrorism and repression of basic human rights, or they could face the might of the U.S. military. But the details outlined by Bush were much more direct. The United States wants the terrorists turned over, their camps destroyed and wrongfully-detained foreign prisoners released. Afghanistan can certainly accommodate these requests and failure to do so seals its fate. The Taliban—the radical ruling faction in Afghanistan—does not merit sympathy. Religious toleration and women’s rights are just two values they ignore. Not tolerating dissent from their extremist religious dogma, they punish those who think and act differently. However, Bush’s identification of threats did not stop there. He singled out the al-Qaeda as the global terrorist network that the United States must combat in this new war. As the nation wages a long campaign against terrorism, America must strive to maintain the openness and tolerance that has formed its foundation. Fortunately, Bush’s inclusive language highlighted that America is not at war against Islam or Arabs, but instead at war with those who would perform the hateful acts that have left an estimated 6,000 people dead. The war that the president outlined is unlike any other the nation—and certainly this generation—has faced. This campaign will not rely solely on raids seen on television at night, unlike the Gulf War. At the same time, this fighting acknowledges that lives may be lost, unlike the intervention in Kosovo. Instead, this hidden war will include a culmination of resources, especially covert and special forces operations. In these attacks, the United States should try its hardest to avoid taking the lives of innocent civilians. Bush was clear that American lives, too, will be put at risk: The country is not merely sending missiles or dropping bombs into a region but is also willing to place soldiers in harm’s way. Still, Bush has set forth the course for future U.S. action, but the turns along this road need elaboration in the coming days. When must Afghanistan comply with the ultimatum? What will the new Office of Homeland Security do? Thursday night’s address may not have been the appropriate time for such details, but Bush should make them clear soon. In this crisis and the search for a solution, Bush has shown genuine leadership, especially through his patience. Under Bush, the United States is taking a leadership stance that will enhance the security of not only the nation but the entire world.

Letters to

the editor

Republicans ask University On Sept. 11,2001 we were attacked. This was not an attack just against those on the four hijacked airplanes, in the World Trade Center and in the Pentagon but rather an attack against every American. Across every divide, we were all targets of terror on Black Tuesday. As conservatives, we value freedom, peace and human rights. We feel that these values make it necessary for our government to take action to preserve such ideals and protect its citizens. This does not justify an indiscriminate use of force

but rather mandates that appropriate steps be taken to ensure our country is not brought under attack again The military should not be a tool for retribution, but it must be active in the defense of America. Our priority as a

unite for defense

nation, and out ofrespect for those whom we have lost, should be to guarantee that such violence will never again threaten our citizens. While the nation has focused on mourning this tragic human loss and uniting as a people, the University community has

seemingly

resisted both these efforts. In an attempt to maintain an atmosphere of political correctness, we seem to have lost sight ofthe true victims ofthis heinous act. It is imperative that we recognize the actions of a few individuals are not representative of a religion, culture or region. However, these actions are intolerable. Those who perpetrated these deeds and aided in their execution, along with the victims, deserve that justice be done. Political correctness should not be allowed to jeopardize

Americans’ rights to protection and justice. In this unprecedented time of need, we must follow

the leadership of a unanimous Congress and a president who holds one of the highest approval ratings in history. This university should join with the rest of America in a united front against those who would threaten our virtues of freedom, liberty and security. Jeffrey

Flag provides symbol for American unity, pride We didn’t know until we read the letters to the editor Wednesday that people fly their flag out of a sense of moral superiority. Up until that point, we were under the assumption people flew flags for other reasons; pride in their country, to honor veterans and those who sacrificed their lives for this country or as a symbol ofthe freedom and liberty which we all enjoy. In fact, to be perfectly honest, we think the suggestion that people flew the flag this past week as a symbol of their moral superiority is unfounded and simply false, Why is it so hard to believe that in times of a national tragedy, a country’s people can come together in a spirit of unity and act as Americans? Why can’t the symbol of these Americans for referenced letter, see

be their own-flag? What is so horribly wrong with that? The notion that Americans are not morally superior in this instance is an affront to the innocent civilians who were murdered. In fact, not only are we morally superior

to the terrorists, but we are morally superior to the entire Taliban. The notion that human rights apply to neither women nor foreigners is only one of the things that make them our moral inferiors; we don’t buy the whole cultural relativism arguinent—what they do is simply wrong.

Every day since, it seems, we awake expecting to hear of an attack on Afghanistan or a raid on bin Laden’s mountain hiding spot. And every day, we learn that Bush and his administration have chosen the path of deliberation—the careful path, grounded in the collection of facts, evidence and crucial world support.... That deliberative strategy, in fact, is one which ultimately separates this nation’s leaders from the cowards who murdered thousands of innocents just over a week ago.

But exactly how this force is used will make a world of difference. An indiscriminate military campaign may compromise other attempts to fight terrorism more effectively.
