As the Black Faculty Strategic Initiative heads toward its final months, a new task force is meeting next week to begin shaping a new University effort to increase faculty diversity over the next decade. The Provost’s Task Force on Faculty Diversity will likely seek to expand the scope of diversity efforts to include other minorities and women for the next stage of the initiative, Provost Peter Lange said. “We reached our goal,” he said. “Now we need to think about what our next step will be.” Lange added that the BFSI is on schedule to reach or even surpass its goal of doubling the overall number of black profes- Rex Adams sors by fall 2003.

Officials respond to WEL flooding By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle
Sunday’s flooding of the West-Edens Link left over 30 students homeless the last two nights, but most of the new building’s 350 residents were able to return early Monday morning. A “small design flaw” in a fire sprinkler head that was accidentally knocked off in a sixth-floor closet triggered all of the hall sprinklers on the floor to go off, said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. It took about 90 minutes before officials shut
“I’m not happy it took almost an hour and a half to stop the sprinklers,” Moneta said. “Now there are a couple of pieces of information we need to find: why it took so long to turn it off, and how to make sure this

World Summit disappoints leaders U.S. fails to ratify global warming treaty and embrace renewable energy targets By RACHEL SWARNS
New York Times News Service
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa The first of 100 world leaders to address the environmental summit meeting here strongly criticized rich polluting nations —the United States chief among them—for refusing to ratify a treaty intended to prevent the devastating effects of climate change. But despite the pointed remarks from the leaders of France, Britain and other nations about the treaty, known as the Kyoto Protocol, U.S. officials succeeded Monday night in winning an important concession. A plan for converting world energy production from fossil fuels to solar
and wind power and other renewable energy sources no longer contains a commitment to ensuring that renewable energy sources account for 15 percent of energy produced around the world by 2010. Officials said delegates were close to agreement on the plan, now that the provision has been dropped. Yvon Slingenberg, a senior member of the European Union’s delegation, expressed disappointment that the United States and other countries had refused to embrace the targets for renewable energy. “We would have preferred to have a target, and we would have preferred to have a timeline,” Slingenberg said. “This was not possible. We
tried until the very end. At a certain stage there is a point of exhaustion.” Environmentalists, too, were critical, saying the United States, which has opposed targets and timetables, has repeatedly watered down the text. “It’s a shameful abrogation by governments who should be delivering on protection of climate, on protection of air quality,” said Kate Hampton, international coordinator of Friends of the Earth, an advocacy group. The United States has said it backs concrete action rather than target dates that might ultimately prove meaningless. In getting the timetable eliminated, the United See CRITICISM on page 10
Officials rethink troops in Afghanistan By JAMES RISEN and ERIC SCHMITT New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON Commanders in the U.S. military’s most elite Special Operations unit are contending that their troops should be freed from the fruitless hunt in Afghanistan for Osama bin Laden, military and intelligence officials say. Some senior officers in the Joint Special Operations Command have concluded that bin Laden, the leader ofal Qaeda, was probably killed in the U.S. bombing raid at Tora Bora last December, officials said. They concluded that he died in a bombing raid on one of several caves that had been a target because U.S. intelligence officials believed they housed al Qaeda leaders. Yet the Special Operations leaders lack hard forensic evidence that would prove bin Laden is dead, and acknowledge their conclusions are deductive, drawn partly from the lack
of recent confirmed sightings or radio intercepts indicating he is still alive, officials say. Other military and intelligence officials have sharply disagreed with their assessment and the analysis by some commanders of the Joint Special Operations Command does not represent a consensus of all Special Operations forces leaders, military officials said. The analysis concerning bin Laden’s fate plays into a deepening debate underway among Special Operations leaders about how best to use the militaiy’s super-secret counterterrorism forces. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is pushing for an expanded use of Special Operations forces units beyond Afghanistan to kill or capture terrorists. As a result, See TROOPS on page 9

Residents Allen takes helm of faculty council respond to smoking ban By ANDREW COLLINS The Chronicle
Students vary in their opinion of the residential hall smoking ban, which was implemented last year amidst mixed responses. By CINDY YEE The Chronicle
Two weeks after its official implementation, the new residential smoking ban has drawn mixed sentiments from students regarding the ban’s effectiveness and legitimacy. Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin said the enforcement of the ban will depend not only upon the dorms’ residential advisors, but upon students neighboring those who wnuld break the ban as well. “Before, it was just if you were inconvenienced you would have to ask them to stop and they had the choice not to,” Nurkin said. “Now you have the choice to say, ‘You really need to quit that,’ and
that’s the rule.” Duke Student GovernmentPresident
Joshua Jean-Baptiste agreed, but added that the degree ofenforcement will vary within the dorms. “With the RAs and our peers enforcing it, the ban can be effective,” Jean-
Baptiste said. “But if you have a groupof peers that doesn’t mind smoking and an RA that does not strictly enforce it, then
the ban can’t be enforced.”
Although Nurkin said he felt students were taking the ban seriously, many students felt the ban would be ineffective, especially as the year progresses and RAs find themselves loaded with academic responsibilities as well. “If people really want to smoke, they will,” said sophomore Julie Griffin, an See SMOKING on page 9
When Dr. Nancy Allen came to Duke in 1978 for a medical internship and residency, she did not intend to stay long. “I expected to be here three to five years,” she said. Instead, she stayed around, begin-
ning a long and distinguished career as a faculty member and administrator. Last spring, Academic Council members elected her as their next chair, an honor that reflects the esteem she has earned from her peers in the faculty. “She commands a great deal of respect,” said Michele Longino, a member of the eight-person Executive Committee of Academic Council, which meets bi-weekly and directs the agenda ofthe council. “She has a long track record of service to the University.” Much of Academic Council’s activity originates in the confidential meetings of ECAC, so upcoming topics are frequently kept private until the entire
council meets. Allen indicated that this year the council will address female and black faculty recruitment, faculty retirement and a Faculty Compensation Committee report on salary equity. She added, however, that she has yet to set a definite agenda for the upcoming year. “We kind of let it unfurl as time goes
on,” she said. A native of Richmond, Va., Allen earned a bachelor of arts degree in biology from Wellesley College in 1974. After graduating from Tufts University School of Medicine in 1978, she came to Duke. She specialized in rheumatology and became a member of the faculty in 1982. Since then, she has served on a host of administrative committees, including a total of 12 years on Academic Council and two terms on ECAC. Of all her contributions to the University, Allen said she is most proud of her work on professional development for female faculty members. She played a major role in 1993 in organ-

DR. NANCY ALLEN, shown here at an Academic Council meeting last spring, will run her first meeting as chair of the faculty governing body this month. izing the first Clinical Sciences Faculty Council, the faculty governing body of the Medical Center. As the CSFC’s first chair, Allen ad-
vocated women’s issues such as salary equity, maternity leave and a welcoming atmosphere for women within the clinical sciences departments. She is serving on President Nan Keohane’s task force on women at the University, and she led the Women’s Committee at the Medical Center, where she advised the department chairs on is-
sues regarding women and residents. However, she downplayed the significance of her becoming the first woman elected to head the Academic Council since Ann Scott, now a professor emeritus of history, was elected in 1977. “We’ve hopefully moved beyond the time where it’s a real big deal,” she said. “[But] it’s important for students and young faculty to see women in impor-
tant roles.” See ALLEN on page 6

Quad elections proceed as WEL voting delayed By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle
Despite a flood in the West-Edens Link that interrupted voting, quadrangle council
elections ran smoothly Sunday night with higher than expected turnout. Other than the WEL, each of the West Campus quads filled their executive offices. However, many of the residential advisor representative positions were left unfilled. Campus Council President Andrew Nurkin said the unfilled RA representative spots—this year’s equivalent of quad council representatives from each house—can still be filled sometime in the next week. “Once students came down and saw that [the RA representative] spots were uncontested, that seemed to generate a little more interest,” said Few Quad Residence Coordinator Tegwin Millard. “The idea of a lack of representation kind of jolted people.” Last year, elections in three quads—
have been placed in the hands of quad councils—made up of a president, vice-president, treasurer and communications coordinator, as well as a representative to the 16-member Campus Council and RA representatives. Approximately $lB of each student’s residential fee is given to each quad council, which they can use for programming.
In a major change from previous years, quad councils no longer are allowed to accept funding requests from outside groups—thereby cutting off a major source of income for student organizations. To offset the change, $5 of the residential fee previously used by Campus Council, quad councils and house councils has been given to the Student Organization Funding Committee, the primary funding group on campus. Under Campus Council’s newly amended constitution, each quad also must host a certain number of events each semester in numerous categories, including community outreach and Durham interaction, faculty interaction, cultural and special interest activities and social/campus interaction. “There are certain levels of programming that we expect from the quads, [and the new system] is meant to make sure that they’re spending that money appropriately,” Nurkin said. He added that the system is similar to the annual review process for selective

Iraqis seek support from Russia against U.S. threat By MICHAEL WINES
New York Times News Service
MOSCOW The Iraqi foreign minister, Naji al-Hadithi, stopped briefly here Monday, seeking renewed support from a generally sympathetic Kremlin against the'Threat of a U.S. effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power. He got it, but not as unambiguously as he might have liked. After meeting Sabri, Igor Ivanov, the Russian foreign minister, repeated the Kremlin’s position that military action against Iraq “would seriously undermine the already difficult situation in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East,” making the prospects for a permanent settlement of the region’s problems even more remote. Ivanov also said that Russia hopes the UN. Security Council will not be asked to approve military action against Iraq, “so there will be no need for a Russian veto.”

body expressions to the texture of skin and hair, all ofwhich emit a nostalgic aura of an AfricanAmerican past set against the rural background of Pactolus Township,N.C., where Little and his family grew up. In addition to Caroway, characters show different sides of the nightlife Little witnessed. As visitors enter the CDS’ Juanita Kreps Gallery, music joyfully blasts from the jukebox. The scene is set—Mr. William Godley is already dancing, head slightly bowed and hands gesturing almost artistically, in position with the beat. Miss Beola has joined in, arms slightly raised and outstretched, her hair twirled around large pink curlers. Eshu and Glory, among the regulars, just finished their routine bar fight and were making up behind the liquor house, unaware that they had just been sighted by sevenyear-old Willie Little. Like other documentary work, Little’s installation involves “true” storytelling, stressed Courtney Reid-Eaton, CDS program coordinator. “Juke Joint”, with its attention to detail and history rooted in Little’s stories, particularly re-

Signs were posted on doors of the rooms with the worst damage that read: “Please do not enter this r00m..,. Make other sleeping arrangements..,. We are working on cleaning up this area as fast as we can!” Moneta said students’ homeowner insurance would cover their personal damages, and that the University has already hired an outside company, AfterDisaster, to bring in fans, dehumidifiers and water vacuums to clean the WEL itself. He said the University would work with students who had problems, and that the University was prepared to provide temporary housing for any of the evacuated students, although none requested it. “As far as clean-up, [University administrators] did a really good job,” said junior Nick Graf, a resident on the third floor of the WEL. “There are two big fans going on outside my room and our carpet is almost already dry. I must say I’m pretty impressed with the clean-up efforts.” Moneta plans to send residents a letter about the situation, but some students complained about the inadequate communication from the University. “I think people were pretty frustrated with the situation last night. No one knew what was going on and we felt like no one knew what was going on,” Graf said. “It’s a new dorm and I just don’t think [the University] was prepared for something like this to happen so soon—they didn’t even know how to get the sprinklers turned off.” To avoid a repeat of Sunday night, the University will try to fix the sprinkler system. “In a building of that magnitude, there are bound to be some minor problems,” Moneta said. “We just need to find a simple solution, like a little cage that does not block the water but is there so that if you are putting a box on the shelf, it hits the cage, not the sprinkler.” WEL Residence Coordinator Stephanie Carter said none of her residents had expressed concern about a re-
flects this concept.
“I am very grateful to share this wonderful historic slice of American fife,” Little wrote. Reid-Eaton said the CDS usually searches for its exhibits, but that Little was so well-known among artists that the exhibit came to the CDS’ Lyndhurst House through word of mouth. Since arriving, the installation has expanded from the Carolinas to several other locations, including Dallas and Detroit, where it was exhibited at the Charles H. Wright Museum ofAfrican American History—the largest museum in the world dedicated to that field of history.
The CDS will celebrate “Juke Joint” with a fish fry Sept. 27, followed by a performance by blues artist Cootie Stark, in association with Music Maker ReliefFoundation.

Last year, controversy arose when Campus Council passed a resolution calling for the ban, a move DSG said did not have the support of the student body.

Special Operations leaders are trying to determine whether the hunt for the al Qaeda leader is still the best use of the limited resources of the most elite units. At least publicly, President George W. Bush and Rumsfeld have said they do not know whether bin Laden is alive or dead. Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of the U.S. military effort in Afghanistan, said last week that he had not seen “convincing proof’ that bin Laden had been killed. But Franks added that he did not know bin Laden’s fate. U.S. intelligence agencies have received reports from people on the ground in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region claiming to have information that bin Laden is alive. Still, the assessment suggesting he is dead comes from the commanders of the elite military units responsible for counterterrorism, which have been on the front lines of the
hunt for bin Laden and other al
Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan.
They are so respected that senior intelligence and law enforcement officials elsewhere have been briefed on the assessment, leading to more debate on whether bin Laden is dead or alive. Despite the argument raging within the Special Operations ranks over bin Laden,
American and allied ground troops—including the elite commandos—continue to scour Afghanistan, searching for pockets of al Qaeda fighters and clues about bin Laden. Barring conclusive evidence that bin Laden is dead, the military’s default position is to assume he is still alive and to keep hunting for him. Yet Spe-
cial Operations forces are increasingly frustrated by how little they have to show for their efforts. In the late spring or early summer, a meeting of Special Operations leaders was held to discuss how to allocate Special Operations resources, officials said. At that meeting, some senior commanders told their colleagues that they believed bin Laden was dead, officials familiar with the meeting said. The meeting’s focus pivoted to implications of that assessment, the officer said. “It was a discussion of what requires us to stay there in Afghanistan,” the officer said. “If Osama bin Laden is presumed dead, then it would reduce the pressure to keep the forces in Afghanistan.” Spokesperson for Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the two men had not been briefed on the discussion, suggesting that the commanders’ assessment was not a formal written intelligence report that was handed up the chain of command.

BLACK FACULTY
KDNICLE
»
“[BFSI] will not actually be finished until fall 2003, but we are thinking ahead and looking at diversity,” said Judith Ruderman, vice provost for academics and administration, who is staffing the initiative. “We’re starting with what was done with the Black Faculty Strategic Initiative and analyzing whether aspects of that initiative worked well.” The seven faculty members and three administrators on the task force—which first meets Sept. 12—will review the results of BFSI, define the goals of the diversity initiative for the next decade, gather necessary demographic data, consult with sources within and outside of the University and make recommendations to the provost by February. Lange has additionally charged the task force
with including an overarching goal, targets, strategies, timetables and resource requirements for the next stage of BFSI. Adams said his experience with creating a diverse environment attracted Lange to choose him to chair the task force. Adams served as the dean of Fuqua at a time when its diversity—including the second highest percentage of women in any top business school in the nation—boosted it into the top tier, he said. He plans to use this experience to help create plans for the next decade of diversity. “Because of its limited focus and its emphasis on simply achieving representation, [BFSI needs to be expanded],” Adams said. “The business of diversity is more complex than achieving numbers; it involves embracing a welcoming environment. We can do better than that.”
Professor of English Houston Baker, who has been at Duke since 1999 and has also been a faculty member at Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania, said he would like to see the task force visit universities with successful diverse communities as part ofits efforts. “[BFSI] has certainly put Duke in the absolute forefront of universities in the country,” Baker said. “Their commitment to the project was unheard of and they went at it with a good deal of energy.” Of all the universities where Baker has taught, he said Duke provided the best experience for senior black faculty. The University’s sense of community, administrative understanding and large percentage of black students created a desirable racial climate, he said. However, Baker said the University would do well to have more black graduate students and hire more senior
black faculty, rather than non-tenured professors.
Vice President for Institutional Equity
Sally Dickson said she thought the University’s environment was supportive, but , that she hoped the new initiative would find room for improvement. “Clearly we have made progress,” Dickson said. “Do we have more work to be done? The answer is yes to that also. To recruit and to hire is just one step. We need to ask ourselves if we have a supportive environment for junior faculty to
get tenure.” Adams said the task force’s timing—it
coincides with the closing months of The Campaign for Duke—may prove crucial to planning. “I think the task force comes at a critical moment because we have had
enormous success in the capital campaign
and the University has resources to invest in change,” Adams said.

•
August 15 August 29: Permits purchased online by faculty, staff, and students through August 15 are being distributed. Faculty and staff permits were mailed to their work address on campus. Students who have not picked up their permits may do so at the Parking Office, 2010 Campus Drive. Office hours are 8 a.m. through 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. -
Most commuting grad and undergrad students initially received Perimeter (Duke University Road Lot) permits, and were issued 'temporary' permits in anticipation that many would be relocated to other lots. We are now addressing the needs of students who won graduate school parking lotteries and those commuters who requested other

Graduate students who have been issued permits through their school's lottery are now being issued their parking permits. Graduate schools have until August 29 to assign lottery winners. If a graduate student initially purchased a Duke University Road Lot permit, that permit will be cancelled and the student will be issued a new permit.
•

•
Commuting undergraduates who requested the Blue Zone are now being contacted regarding that assignment. We believe we can meet each of these requests.
Employees who were issued Duke University Road Lot permits will be upgraded to other lots from the waitlist as availability allows. Beginning Monday, September 2, all permit holders should park in their assigned lots. Gate access for new permits, as well as those expiring 8/31/02, will be changed by September 2. Employees who have personal permits with the imbedded magnetic stripe may use either the permit or their DukeCard for gate access. August 20 September 30: Space counts will be conducted in all University parking areas. Available spaces will be offered to employees and students who signed up online for an optional permit waitlist, in the order they entered the waitlist. -
Enforcement for parking violations such as fire lanes and no parking areas is in effect. Warning citations for vehicles with no permit will begin on September 3. Citations for no permit/expired permit will begin on September 9. For more information visit Transportation Services online at parking.duke.edu or call

Paula Dobriansky undersecretary of state for global affairs, defended the administration’s position. “The document clearly highlights the need to increase access to modem energy services and signals the valuable role renewable energy will play in the future.” During the course of the meeting, President George W. Bush’s top administrators acceded to other proposals, agreeing for example on efforts to halve the number of people without sanitation by 2015 and to reduce the loss of endangered plants and animals by 2010. But the concessions have not quieted the discontent among America’s allies, which argue that as the world’s most powerful nation, it should do more to protect the environment. “Our house is burning down and we’re blind to it,” President Jacques Chirac of France said in his speech here Monday. “The earth and humankind are; 5 in danger, and we’re all responsible. It’s tiipe to open our eyes.”
“Climate warming is still reversible,” Chirac added. “Heavy would be the responsibility of those who refused to fight it.” Tony Blair of Britain said leaders could not afford
to allow poverty and environmental degradation to continue unmonitored. “Kyoto is right; it should be ratified by all of us,” Blair said in a speech. “The consequences of inaction on these issues are not unknown. They are calculable. Poverty and environmental degradation, if unchecked, spell catastrophe for our world. That is clear.” In speechmaking Monday, several leaders took the opportunity to weigh in on their own specific issues with the environment, politics and one another. President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela called for the creation of a global fund to ease poverty. Yoweri Museveni of Uganda urged rich countries to open their markets to products from poor countries. Chirac called for an international solidarity tax on items like airline tickets and health products that would create a pool of money to help developing nations, and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe received rousing applause from his fellow heads of state when he told Blair to stop interfering with his land redistribution program. Mugabe, contending that sustainable development was not possible without land reform, said “Blair, keep your England. Let me keep my Zimbabwe.” Secretary of State Colin Powell, who is representing the United States, will take his five minutes at the podium Wednesday, officials said. American officials dismissed the criticism received Monday, saying that most delegations had responded positively to American contributions to the summit’s action plan. John Turner, assistant secretary of state for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs, said he was pleased with the commitments that had been made. He pointed to agreements on sanitation, good governance and a deal to restore depleted fisheries, where possible, by 2015. As for global warming, Turner reiterated the administration’s position. Bush asserted in rejecting the treaty that it was unfair that the accord did not bind developing nations, especially China and India, that are also major emitters of greenhouse gases.

Sox down Yanks, Mussina in rain

College
By MIKE FITZPATRICK The Associated Press
Nomar Garciaparra Red Sox 8 NEW YORK drove in three runs, and Casey Yankees 4 Fossum won for the first time in seven starts this season as the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 8-4 Monday. Shea Hillenbrand had three hits and scored twice for the Red Sox, who trimmed New York’s AL East lead to 6 1/2 games on a rainy day at Yankee Stadium. Rey Sanchez and Jason Varitek added two-run singles. Boston, which had lost four straight to its longtime rivals, is 4 1/2 games behind Anaheim in the wild-card race. “We’re not sitting here saying let’s go for the wild card,” pitcher Dustin Hermanson said. “We still want to win this division. We want bigger things than the wild card. If you’re just going for the wild card, you’re not pushing yourself.” Alfonso Soriano hit his 35th homer, stole his 38th base and knocked in two runs as New York lost for the fourth time in five games. Yankees starter Mike Mussina returned to the mound after a sixth-inning rain delay of one hour and 29 minutes before getting out of a bases-loaded jam. “We leave it to him. We were not going to send him out there, but he said ‘Give me a chance to try and warm up,”’ Yankees manager Joe Torre said. Hillenbrand tripled to left-center with two outs in the seventh and scored on Garciaparra’s single—his I,oooth career hit. Garciaparra, who finished 3-for-5, is the fastest Red Sox player to 1,000 hits, doing it in 746 games. Wade Boggs reached the milestone in 747 games. Trot Nixon’s bloop double fell in front of sliding left fielder Rondell White in the eighth, putting runners at second and third. Sanchez followed with a two-run single to make it 6-3. Varitek added a two-run single in the ninth, with Manny Ramirez sliding neatly around Jorge Posada’s tag at the plate. The first five innings were played in a steady drizzle as the grounds crew worked to keep the infield dry.

NOMAR GARCIAPARRA became the fastest Red Sox player to get 1,000 hits, beating out Wade Boggs by one game. With a puddle forming in front of second baseman Soriano in the top of sixth, play was finally halted. Across town, the Mets and Marlins were rained out before they even got started. Making his first start at Yankee Stadium, Fossum fanned Derek Jeter on a high fastball with the bases loaded to end the fourth. Fossum went five innings, allowing two unearned runs and six hits. He struck out six. Hermanson replaced Fossum after the rain delay and worked three innings, giving up Soriano’s leadoff homer in the seventh and a two-out RBI single in the eighth..

BRENDAN DEWAN was one of five players to receive Saturday’s game ball
LOUISVILLE from page 11 Brendan Dewan—players playing positions that usually receive balls—but Franks also granted game balls to Brent Garber, Seth Carter and Trey McDonald, the kicker, the snapper and the holder, respectively. “In that kind of weather, to have no problems in their operation is unbelievable,” Franks said. Former quarterback D. Bryant, who was suspended by the Blue Devils and
ROOF from page 11 covered three fumbles all season. Roof came in and began a complete overhaul of the unit. “They’ve done a lot of switching positions, putting guys in the right places where their athletic talent fits that spot,” junior defensive tackle Matt Zielinski said. “It’s really helped us hustle to the ball and helped guys get around the corner a lot quicker.” Junior linebacker Ryan Fowler, who led the team in tackles a year ago, has been moved from the outside to the inside, where he can make even more plays. True freshman Brendan Dewan was moved from running back to outside linebacker, where he started against East Carolina and from which he registered eight tackles, recovered a fumble and grabbed an interception he returned for a touchdown. “The new attitude we’ve been implementing courtesy of Coach Roof has totally changed this thing around,” Zielinski said. “He’s emphasizing not how much you do, but how you do it. If you’re going to mess up, mess up at 100 miles per hour, because it’s going to happen.” Messing up at 100 miles per hour is a
catch-phrase for Roofs defense, which did not mess up very often in Duke’s 2316 victory over ECU. The Pirates were held to just 155 yards of total offense. Duke committed a number of penalties and gave up a long touchdown pass, but the unit was much improved.
now plays at lowa Weslyan, called before the game to wish the team luck. After the game, Franks said he fielded an array of congratulatory calls, including talks with President Nan Keohane
and Washington Redskins coach Steve Spurrier, under whom Franks was a longtime assistant. Franks basked in the victory but kept things in perspective. “It was a big win, but it’s not the end of the season,” Franks said. “We need to have some more big wins to have a good year.” “We’re all going to make mistakes—ineluding me, including everybody—there’s never really been a perfect ballgame,” Roof said. “That’s what we’re trying to stress to them, that if you make it, let’s make it an effort mistake. And then once we make it, learn from it and put it behind us and play on, because we can’t let the last play affect what’s going to happen on this play or the next play.” Roofs defense, like all aggressive defenses, are contingent on each player fulfilling his responsibility—covering a certain gap or freeing up another player. As an outgrowth ofthis, or perhaps just as a doting father, Roof has come to place a high priority on trust. “I want to know as a coach and as a person, can I trust you?” Roof said. “Can I trust you to be where you’re supposed to be? Can I trust you to be doing what you’re supposed to be doing? Can I trust you to tell me the truth? It’s no different from what I expect from my sons. At the same time, my sons absolutely love being around the football players. They’re at practice every day, they’re in the locker room with them. The players have been real receptive to that.” Roofs three-year-old twins Terrence and Michael follow their father around the field and, despite occasional protests, are made to shake hands with the people their father works with. Returning to Durham with his family and forging bonds with his players and the community has been a rewarding experience for Roof. “Family’s everything to me,” he said.

No attack against Iraq Hussein is a ruthless dictator and a threat to the United States, Israel and his own people. He might have weapons of mass destruction and is willing to use them, and this is precisely why we should not invade Iraq and not provoke this maniac into unleashing his destructive capabilities. Any invasion of Iraq would need to be a massive and crippling blow, quickly and efficently executed. Unlike Operation Desert Storm, where American troops streamrolled inexperienced Iraq soldiers in the desert, this operation would not be easy. The United States would be fighting against soldiers entrenched in defensive positions and also would be fighting an urban street war in Bagdahad. With this sort of war, there would inevitably be significant American causalities, certain deaths that could be avoided if we do not attack Iraq. Of course, there is the chance that if the United States does not strike against Iraq that Saddam will strike first and murder Americans. However, this is just a remote possibility, whereas the deaths from an invasion are certain. Moreover, if the United States did invade, such an action would provoke Iraq, making an attack from Saddam or one of the terrorist cells allied with him inevitable, possibly resulting in more civilian deaths. Currently there is not enough evidence against Saddam to justify an invasion. His ties to Sept. 11 are vague at best and there is no concrete evidence that Saddam currently possesses nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. If clear evidence came out that Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction and was preparing to use them or if clear ties between Saddam and the Sept. 11 attacks became known, then the United States would have the duty to invade Iraq, but presently there is not enough information or evidence to justify an attack. Part of the fault for this lack of proof lies with President George W. Bush, who has failed to adequately articulate how he will destroy Saddam and has failed to lay out and explain the reasons behind the attack to the American people. Additionally, before any attack, the United States should gain the support of Congress and the international community, for which more solid and indisputable evidence of Saddam’s guilt is required. In the meantime, however, the United States should continue its effort to oppose and overthrow Saddam by supporting opposition forces and the current sanctions against Iraq. Although sanctions are admittedly injurious to the Iraqi people, there is no other option to reduce Saddam’s access to money and materials used in building weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, the United States should redouble its effort in providing humanitarian aid and food assistance programs to ensure the health ofthe Iraqi people. The United States should also continue to work toward getting weapons inspectors back into Iraq, a possible diplomatic solution that could help neutralize Saddam’s threat. Additionally, the United States must be prepared to provide support to Iraq in the event Saddam is deposed. If that happens, the United States should support the country’s new leader and ensure that steps are taken to make Iraq more democratic and place it on the road towards becoming a self-governing republic.

Letters to
the editor
Bench selections show that segregation still exists What year is it now? 1960? sure seems that way. I am not claiming that society has not progressed in the last 40 years, but for the first time in my life I realize how far we still have to go. We still notice race, and we still segregate. The only difference now is that it goes both ways. Last semester while getting food with a friend on the main quad on West Campus, I walked over to a set of benches with a few open seats and sat down. No big deal, right? After sitting on the bench for a few minutes, my friend turned to me and told me that to the undergraduates, this bench was traditionally reserved for the black students, and then pointed to other benches that were the white benches. While neither my friend nor I felt any need to move from the bench, nor felt any pressure from anyone else, I have since noticed that my
friend was right. Returning to the quad several times, I have noticed that only black students sat on the bench I had used, and only white students sat on the other benches. On occasion, someone breaks this pattern and sits in the wrong place, but those who did were mostly visitors, not Duke students. I have never witnessed such blatant segregation before, and quite honestly it disgusts me. We five in the 21st century. There is no difference between the races. We are all people with feelings, morals, values and intelligence. So why do we continually choose to segregate? My initial response to my disgust was to encourage people to associate with members of all different races, but I feel that by doing that I may be promoting exactly what I disgust. Don’t approach someone because they are of a different race; approach
Well, it
someone because you may really get along with them, regardless of race. Choose with whom you interact based on who they are, not what they look like. Looks can often be deceiving. How many times have you met a person that you view as attractive, based solely on societal constructions of beauty, and they turn out not to be compatible with you based on their personality? Learn a lesson from this. Society has made many of us notice differences in one’s skin color. The question of who is a great person is reliant on that individual, not his race. Get up off the bench you are supposed to be sitting on and stop judging books by their covers. The cover does not adequately represent what is inside.

Course offerings demonstrate Duke is not racist I am writing inresponse to Jessica Rutter’s column Aug. 29 column about racism at Duke, particularly her criticism of Duke’s course offerings. I am a little confused why Rutter is complaining so much about course offerings. While it is true that the philosophy department focuses heavily on the teachings of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, it is also true that these men were the fathers of philosophy, so it only makes sense to do so. Similarly, the physics department concentrates on the theories of Newton, Maxwell and Einstein, so http: / / www.chronicle.duke.edu
On
does that make its course offerings racist as well? Furthermore, as far as Duke not offering wide varieties of courses exploring other cultures, apparently she didn’t look at ACES closely enough. Not only does Duke offer extensive coursework in African and Asian languages, literatures and cultures, but also offers majors in these areas. Duke even offers a class in Persian literature. I doubt that you will find that at some small private school in Arkansas. However, having said this, there are obvious problems /
that exist between different racial groups at Duke. It is my opinion that these racial problems stem from a more complicated tendency of the student body towards de facto segregation that will not be corrected by offering courses in socialist economic theory or Confucianism. May I suggest that the entire student body do a bit more self-reflection rather than criticizing a school that offers courses as diverse as Persian literature. Charles Gearing Trinity’os

Guest Commentary
specifically on the wrong-headed and meager official response to the terrorist attacks of last September. One year ago, this nation faced an unimagined and often unspeakable horror. The response was astounding. Forget that patriotism became a pop trend and a fashion statement after a few months. Forget that the flag and its colors quickly became Kitsch icons, and that the words “America,” “hero,” and “bravery” were used to sell everything from cars, to commemorative coins, to cable television. But that initial response—those first few days and weeks after the attacks—remain simply and sublimely in my heart as evidence of the gold Americans always possess, and the eagerness with which they will share it in times of need. It was this response that was important, critical even, to our national convalescence. Bravery and heroism? You bet. Commitment? Undoubtedly. But, perhaps the greatest element of the response, especially in the New York area, was the overwhelming sense of community that developed. My family and friends in New Jersey and New York related innumerable instances of altruism, friendship and fellowship. All of a sudden, it meant something to be a part of a community in New York. Neighbors became more than co-residents, becoming compatriots, companions and friends. Strangers were no longer so strange, but now seen as helpers and healers, mourners and mothers,
firemen and fathers. People talked to each other—really ing for fellowship and the need for community support talked.
