Ryan McCartney THE CHRONICLE
Just over a week after The Chronicle published a controversial column by junior Stephen Miller, approximately 30 students attended a discussion Thursday night about the column’s impact on campus race relations. Sponsored by the Center for Race Relations, the panel was designed to spark dialogue about issues brought up by the Oct. 26 column, in which Miller criticized the Black Student Alliance for its “misguided and slanderous assault” on former U.S. Education SecretaryWilliam Bennett. On his Sept. 28 radio show, Bennett said U.S. crime would be reduced if “ever)' black baby” was aborted. He then added that this was “morally reprehensible” and “ridiculous”. The comment created public outcry. BSA members joined odier students and faculty members in a protest Oct. 5 against Bennett’s statement. In his column, Miller condemned the protest. The Center for Race Relations hoped to produce a safe outlet for students to talk about issues of race at the Thursday forum, said co-presidents Felix Li, a junior, SEE DISCUSSION ON PAGE

RLHS consi ders I fti ng housing moratorium by
Daniel Feinglos THE CHRONICLE
The Panhellenic Council and
Campus Council are engaged in preliminary discussions that could provide sororities with oncampus housing. The discussions, which have taken place over the past week, could result in an opening of the door for sororities to have their own housing sections. The talks could also end an almost
two-year moratorium on the creation of new housing blocks for selective groups. “Right now, I think there’s a consensus in the Panhellenic Council that we’d all like to learn more about [housing],” said Panhellenic Council President Katie Jandl, a senior. “The discussions are very preliminary. As of yet, there’s not even a model of what the living arrangements would look like.”
The moratorium on groups seeking housing has been in place since January 2004, when
Eddie Hull, dean of residential life and executive director for housing services, created it in part to keep space open for sororities. Before Hull enacted the moratorium, he said he heard that a few sororities were interested in acquiring housing. At the same time, several fra-
ternities were either seeking to move on to campus or to colonize a new chapter, he said. “Although the sororities never made any formal requests for housing, the need to allow female groups a space on campus combined with other pressures to make a moratorium necessary,” Hull said. He added that current housing policies restrict the number of selective-house rooms both in
individual quadrangles and on West Campus as a whole. He said no more than half of the spaces in any quad or a third of the spaces on West Campus can be assigned to selective living groups at any one time. “I’ve asked Campus Council to see if that’s still the best arrangement as well as how to maintain the balance between SEE HOUSING ON PAGE 7

RA uses online photos to cite 9 N.C State students Ashley Dean THE CHRONICLE

The popular facebook.com is at the crux of an underage drinking incident at North Carolina State University. Nine N.C. State students have been cited with violating the school’s underage drinking policy after pictures of suspicious behavior found were through facebook.com. A resident advisor found the pictures and reported the students to university officials Oct. 26. The students will face disciplinary action from the Office ofStudent Conduct. They will possibly be placed on probation or assigned to an alcohol education class Administrators at N.C. State said they support the action taken by the resident advisor who found the photos.
“She acted on perceived violation of university policy. That’s part of the RA job,” N.C. State Housing Director Susan Grant explained. Many Duke students—who often post pictures of parties and other social events on facebook.com —noted that they found the RA’s actions questionable. “I think the RA should be a student first, then an RA,” said Tzuo Law, a junior and resident advisor.

The funding covers the students’ financial needs for five years. Starting in 2007, the six students will have to find other funding avenues.

He speculated that it could come from the general budget, but he also emphasized the uncertainty of the process. “As it looks now, we will not be recruiting as many students,” he said. “It will start to be a problem.” Dave Roberson, director of communications for the Duke Endowment, said the funding grants are never intended to run indefinitely; they usually last only three years. Roberson added that it is up to Duke to reapply. “We respond based on how the University prioritizes its goals,” he said. The University recently accepted a $75-million gift from the Endowment to be put toward undergraduate, graduate and professional student financial aid. SEE FUNDING ON PAGE 8

Campus Council addressed now-familiar complaints about the social and intellectual climate on campus Thursday night. “We’ve heard for three years the negative conversation—‘Social life is dead,”’ said Campus Council President Jay Ganatra, a junior. Several representatives discussed the possibility of having more campus-wide events. “There are very few parties on Central Campus and in frats on the weekends,” said junior Collin Walter, a Kilgo Quadrangle representative. “Parties on campus are really exclusive. You don’t go unless you’re in a frat that’s involved.” Ganatra added that the Council’s budget is tight because of Last Day of Classes expenses. Communications Coordinator Brenna Benson, a senior, suggested asking the University to subsidize bartenders so that
there could be more all-Duke events “I really want to talk to administration about why there are so many obstacles to getting enough party monitors and paying bartenders,” for all-inclusive events, she said. Brittany Greenfield, a senior and chair of the Facilities and Services Committee, said the administration’s image of students sometimes creates an obstacle to encouraging on-campus social life. “There are administrators who understand that we can behave,” she said. “But there are others who just don’t get it and can’t tell the difference between tailgate and other events.” Representatives talked at length about scant attendance at intellectual events. Senior Shivum Agarwal, Central Campus representative, complained that although there are plenty of academic events on campus, people only hear about them after they occur. SEE COUNCIL ON PAGE 6

Because oflow reserve levels and a lack of rain, Durham City Manager Patrick Baker enacted mandatory water conservation restrictions Thursday. The measures will go into effect Monday, Nov. 7. City officials, warning that current reserves would last slightly more than two months, hope to reduce water consumption by 20 percent with the new policies. The regulations include watering only during certain times, restricting water use to clean sidewalks or driveways and providing water in restaurants only to those customers who request it, among other stipulations. “This is simply a matter of preserving the limited resources we have to ensure that folks will continue to have access to

Several other members mentioned the problem of a lack of social and intellectual cultures mixing on campus. “Why, as soon as you cross Main West Quad in front of the Chapel, does learning have to stop?” Benson asked.

Currently, all selective living groups with on-campus sections are either male or co-ed organizations. According to the RLHS website, 23 organizations live in West Campus sections. These include 12 fraternities. Hull said he wants to make sure that allfemale groups have an equal chance to acquire living spaces. “If there’s room, the first groups to be given housing will be women,” he said. Hull explained, however, that if sororities were offered housing, the end of the moratorium would be an opportunity for other male and co-ed groups to request housing as well. “I have an interest in trying to support any interest in students living together,” Hull explained. “But if we have an opportunity to assist the sororities, we’ll be happy to do so.”

Approximately 20 students participated in a discussion Thursday about a recent Chronicle column andformer U.S.Secretary ofEducationWilliam Bennett's comments.
DISCUSSION from page 1 and Hollen Reischer, a senior. “We want to make this as open as possible, but at the same time we want to keep it safe,” said senior Charisse Williams, the co-coordinator of dialogues on race relations for the Center for Race Relations. At the start of the meeting, students established guidelines for the conversation, which included respecting confidentiality, listening to all opinions and keeping a civil tone. Participants were then encouraged to express their immediate responses to Miller and Bennett. The responses, which included com-
such as “flat-out racist” and “logical,” were used to prompt small-group discussions. Once in small groups, participants were allowed to express their thoughts on the matters at hand. “It’s really important to move beyond a [newspaper] page, because what’s written on a page is open to interpretation,” Li said. Miller, who attended the meeting, said he welcomed the opportunity for face-toface dialogue. He noted that he stands by the content and tone of his column. “I did anticipate a significant reaction, but I did not anticipate just how massive the reaction would be,” Miller said. “I’m even more glad I wrote it now because of the debate it sparked. It’s very beneficial merits
to the campus.”Senior Marcus Peterson, one of the students who organized the protest against Bennett, said it was important to have the meeting. “I definitely think some really good opinions were expressed,” Peterson said. “For me personally, what I wanted people to see was how this message could be offensive to certain people.” Senior Dinushika Mohottige, the co-coordinator of dialogues on race relations for the Center for Race Relations, noted the importance of continuing discussion about the issues presented at the meeting. “We encourage you to continue these conversations, particularly with people who may disagree with you on this issue,” Mohottige said.

commitment” to the program. Dr. Edward Halperin, vice dean of the School of Medicine, rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing by the Endowment. “They made a promise, kept it, and their grant will conclude according to schedule,” he wrote in an e-mail. Pizzo maintained that the program is one of the most successful initiatives in the medical center. Its goal is to train academic physicians who practice but also conduct research, Pizzo said. It is one of the three oldest programs of its kind in the country. Although MSTP is expensive to run, its cost is worthwhile, Pizzo said. He noted that the program is “uniquely complex” and pointed to its increasing selectivity as a benchmark ofits success. “Generally, MSTP students are the best ones in the medical school. If we could raise more money, we could fund graduate and medical school for more students,” he said, adding that “every year there are kids we can’t take whom we would have loved to.” The program enrolls approximately 75 graduate and professional students annually. A change in the level of MSTP’s federal funding may also precipitate its downsizing. MSTP has received the maximum amount of funding available annually from the National Institute of Health, but with shifting priorities in Washington D.C., its continuation is not guaranteed. “If the president and Congress want to put more money toward bioterrorism, that leads to less money in NIH for projects like ours, and that will pinch,” Pizzo
explained.

Sims said thus far she has been occupied with processing the citations issued by ALE since August. “Right now I’m just getting caught up with all the off-campus incidents that happened prior to my arrival,” she said.

More than 32 million shares changed hands in barely two hours on the New York Stock Exchange —about four times the stock’s normal daily volume. Wall Street analysts said the company clearly will face huge legal costs given its plan to fight each lawsuit. The company has set aside just $675 million for legal defense costs, but nothing for jury awards or settlements. “It’s still going to be a marathon” in the courts, said Barbara Ryan, analyst at Deutsche Bank NorthAmerica.

In addition to its philanthropic efforts, Matloob said, University Denim strives to promote up-and-coming designers. The sale featured brands that are popular in larger cities and metropolitan areas but have yet to be embraced by many colTege students. In addition to several styles of jeans, the sale also offered shoppers colorful T-shirts and denim skirts. Several shoppers indicated that they had anticipated browsing through jeans from more well-known brands but noted that they nonetheless liked the merchandise offered. “The selection wasn’t what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised,” Murphy said. “The jeans there weren’t necessarily the most popular brands, but I found a pair that fit well and that I love.” Matloob said 300 students made purchases Wednesday.

WATER from page 4 “This is something that will be fixed over the long term with a couple of months of surplus rainfall,” Thompson said. “Rain has been hard to come by recendy, and nothing is indicating it will be any easier to come by.” Voorhees said mandatory regulations —called Stage 111 Moderate Mandatory Conservation requirements —are necessary because citizens did not respond enough to voluntary, Stage II conservation recommendations, which were put into place Sept. 28. The city is usually in Stage I, which involves little to no restriction on water use. “Voluntary measures were not as effective as we hoped,” Voorhees said, noting that water usage only stabilized. City officials have not had to enact Stage 111 conservation since the record drought of 2002.
“We are not quite as bad off as we were in 2002,” Voorhees said. “This has the potential, but we are hopeful.” But Thompson added that Durham will probably not be receiving much rain in the next few days. “The near future does not look good,” Thompson said. Thompson added that a high-pressure system is now acting as a blocking mechanism and is sending storms over the Great Lakes region. He said he is often asked when the weather pattern will break down. “If I could tell you that, I wouldn’t have to be working,” he noted. Thompson said although the weather is unusual, it is not record-breaking. He noted Durham had no rainfall in October 2000. “Every day, all of the meteorologists look at the long-range models, trying to find any hint of rain, and we are grasping at straws,” he said.

With less than 13 minutes left in Duke’s exhibition win over Concordia Thursday, and the game’s result far from in doubt, the Stingers’ Chris Blackwood made a CONCORDIA | 66 routine DUKE 123 j u m p shot to bring his team within 44. After the bucket, Josh Mcßoberts immediately inbounded the ball to fellow freshman Greg Paulus, who sprinted down the right sideline before firing a crosscourt pass to a wide-open JJ. Redick. Redick, like so many times over the course of his career, proceeded to bury the three-pointer. Redick’s trifecta put the Blue Devils up 92-47, but more importandy the shot came on a secondary break, which Duke ran after a made basket—a break that last year’s shorthanded squad was rarely, if ever, able to run. The play showcased the Blue Devils’ ability to get up and down the court, utilizing the team’s new depth—ten players saw doubledigit minutes of action. “I think this team can be an explosive team,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “If we can
keep our veterans fresh during the ballgame, we’re going to hit shots late in each half, and we’re going to play defense throughout the ballgame really hard.”
Seniors Redick and Lee Melchionni each scored 21 points as the Blue Devils rolled 123-66 in the first of their two exhibition matchups before the start of the regular season. The win showed off a balanced Duke offense, as six players scored in double figures. The Blue Devils forced Concordia into a fast-paced game as they applied full-court pressure throughout the first half. The Stingers could not keep up, committing 19 first-half turnovers as Duke turned a once-competitive 13-8 contest into a 44-14 rout in just nine minutes. “We didn’t have the depth that we have this year and on top of that we were hurt a lot, so it was harder to play as aggressively as we did tonight,” sophomore DeMarcus Nelson said of last season’s team. ‘You have to be in great shape to do it, and that’s something that we stress, but we definitely have the talent, and we definitely have the SEE M.

Rubbing salt in the wounds, Duke fans rushed the field and tore down a goalpost. “Any team that you beat, next year you kind of walk around with a little swagger,” Adams said. “I know they have that memory of losing, and they want to avenge that—its going to be a fight.” This season, a Duke victory would seem as improbable as it did last year the Blue Devils also entered that game with a 1-8 record, having beaten only a Di°

road games during which the team went 1-3, the Blue Devils’ undefeated home stand renewed the team’s confidence and created a new sense cohesiveness. “The momentum we’ve gained from our victories is great,” libero Jenny Shull said. “It has given us new confidence and has carried over into our game play. We can feel the difference.” Shull, who leads the team with 410 digs on the season, had a career-high 37 digs in the last match against UNC, good for second-most in school history. “We depend on Jenny for services and to anchor our defense,” Nagel said. “As long as she keeps doing what she is doing and plays solid our defense will be fine. She has an ability to make people around her play better when she does well.” Nagel also said that the team will rely on all-around strength and depth rather than the play of one star on offense. In their last match, against Georgia Tech Oct. 28, the Blue Devils had four players with more than ten kills. ‘We have a very balanced attack.” Nagel said. “Every game our team has four to five players in double-digit kills, rather than one player with 30 or more kills. We have to bring our all around game and make opportunities for our offense to do well.” Duke will also face N.C. State (7-15,1-13) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Reynolds Coliseum.

Senior Jackie Carleton, Duke’s only representative at the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, won her opening match of the tournament Thursday. “It took her a little time to get used to the courts and the atmosphere,” assistant coach Stephanie Nickitas said. “She played very well today.” Carleton defeated Ohio State’s Caidin O’Keefe on her school’s home court in Columbus, 6-3, 64. With the victory, she advanced to play third-seed Kristi Miller of Georgia Tech today. “She’s got a tough match [Friday],” Nickitas said. Two other Blue Devils, junior Daniela Bercek and freshman Jessi Robinson, also qualified for the national tournament. Bercek made the singles draw by reaching the finals of the ITA All-American Tournament Oct. 9, and the pair qualified together for the doubles bracket after winning the ITA Southeast Regional Championships Oct. 17. Unfortunately, Bercek’s nagging knee injury kept both players out of this weekend’s tournament. At the regionals two weeks ago, Carleton won five straight matches to reach the finals and earn a bid to the national tournament.
Carleton also qualified for the National Indoors two years ago when she played for UCLA. She was eliminated by former Blue Devil Amanda Johnson that year. The rest of the Duke team is participating in the Kitty Harrison Invitational in Chapel Hill.

THE CHRONICLE
Ludovic Walter faced and defeated Yale’s Brandon Wai Thursday. Today in the consolation bracket, it’s teammate Jonathan Stokke’s turn. In the first round of the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships at Ohio State, Walter downed Wai in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, to advance to tomorrow’s round of 16. “He played a really good match today,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “He was aggressive and played with a lot of confidence. He played one of the better matches he’s played this fall.” The victory was the 101st of Walter’s career, which places him in a tie with Doug Root for Bth place on the all-time Duke win list. In other action, Stokke lost a close match against sixth-seeded Luke Shields
of Boise State, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Stokke had a chance to control the match in the third set. Already up 3-1, Stokke had Shields on the ropes when he led 0-40 with a chance at a second break. But Shields rallied to win the game and eventually the match. “The kid who he played was really good,” Lapidus said. “I think it was certainly a tough match for Jonathan. I don’t think you can take anything negative for that result.” While Walter advances to the next round to play Jerry Makowski of Texas A&M, Stokke moves into the consolation bracket to play Wai. “It’s kind of weird that both of our guys play a Yale guy in the same weekend,” Lapidus said. Walter defeated Makowski when Duke faced the Aggies in a dual match last March. Both are ranked in the nation’s top 10.
Pacers down heat, Shaq injured Jermaine O’Neal was celebrating. Shaquille O’Neal was on crutches. A look at either O’Neal told the story Thursday night. Indiana’s O’Neal scored 27 points, six in the final three minutes to help the Pacers recover after they wasted a 14-point second-half lead before beating the Miami Heat, 105-102. “There were a lot of times we could have broken down,” said Ron Artest, who added 22 points for the Pacers who have won 13 of their last 14 regular-season meetings with the Heat. “But we didn’t. We stayed together throughout this whole game.” Shaquille O’Neal sprained his right ankle midway through the fourth quarter; X-rays were negative, but Heat coach Stan Van Gundy expects his center, who had. 18 points and six rebounds, “to miss some time.” Dwyane Wade had 31 points and 10 assists for the Heat, but his 3-pointer to tie raided out as the buzzer sounded.

M. BBALL from page 11 bodies, and it is going to be exciting to play that way this year.” Although the Blue Devils relented from their full-court press in the second half, the defensive intensity did not drop. Sean Dockery recorded three steals in the opening minute of the second period to maintain the defensive tone of the blowout. Duke forced 30 turnovers in the game and scored 38 points off of Concordia’s miscues. The Blue Devils also avoided the temptation to go one-on-one against the Stinger defenders but rather maintained an active offensive attack, tallying 25 assists. Duke began the game by pounding the ball inside against the smaller Concordia front line, drawing 16 first-half fouls. Shelden Williams shook off a slow start to put up 19 points and 16 rebounds to go along with five blocks. Williams displayed a turnaround jumper and baseline spin move that were not part of his standard repertoire last season, and he even attempted a threepointer, albeit unsuccessful.
Krzyzewski said Williams’ ability to hit deep jumpers will force defenses to guard him farther out. While Williams quickly rebounded from a rusty start, freshman jitters hindered Paulus for the entire first period. However, Paulus showed his phenomenal passing ability while leading the Blue Devil attack in the second half. The freshman dished two nifty interior passes to set up baskets by Melchionni and Eric Boateng. He also led the break, threading a lengthy pass to a wide-open DeMarcos Nelson shortly after finding Redick for his three. “I brought him over early in the second half when he got in and before I said anything, he said ‘Coach, I feel comfortable now,”’ Krzyzewski said. The Blue Devils’ 123 points were the most points they have scored in any game during the previous seven seasons. The exciting tone was set early, when Nelson lofted an alley-oop pass to Mcßoberts, who slammed it in. “Our guys were ready, they played hard the whole game and I think we got over some of the nervousness of being young,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought we did a good job tonight, and we learned a lot.”

In addition, goalie Christy Morgan held the Cavaliers scoreless for most of the game before letting in the first goal of her past three starts with 19 seconds remaining. Although the team came away with the win, Grant said the Blue Devils could have played at a faster pace. The team was pleased that it held onto the ball and kept control over the game’s momentum against Virginia, but the Blue Devils realize they will face stiffer competition today
against Maryland. “The biggest emphasis now is to play a total 70 minutes and get up for every part of the game,” Lopresti said. “Any lull or letdown can really punish us with the harder teams.

the tempo from the start. In the Oct. 8 game, the Terrapins scored a goal 5:35 into the first half and used their defense to hold on, despite a relentless assault from the Blue Devils’ talented forwards. Duke outshot Maryland, 25-8, in the game, but could not capitalize on its opportunities. “We definitely need to come out hard in the first ten minutes and set the tone and have them adjust to us,” Grant said. “Hopefully we can get on the board and have a really strong start and try to maintain that start throughout the game.” Maryland goalie Kathryn Masson is tied for the ACC lead in shutouts per game, and the Terps have allowed less than a goal per contest this season. “We’re just going to keep putting the shots on the cage and try to beat a really talented good keeper,” Grant said. “Last time, I think we were taking a lot of weak shots close inside the circle, so I think we need to try and take shots at the top of the circle, get the rebound and keep the pressure on—[Masson is] going to falter at some point.” Defending ACC and national champion Wake Forest will meet North Carolina in the other semifinal match.

You have to let the last one go, move on, and hopefully be able to have a better outcome the next Saturday.” If the Blue Devils have any luck shutting down the Tigers’ potent run offense, they will then need to cope with one of the ACC’s top quarterbacks. Senior Charlie Whitehurst averages 229.6 passing yards per game—just shy of Duke’s 230.9 total yards per game. Duke can take solace in the fact that Clemson has yielded more than 330 yards per game, including 135 yards on the ground. Sophomore running back Justin Boyle and freshman quarterback Zack Asack will each get starting nods this weekend. Asack has matured in recent games and has built a rapport with fellow freshman wide receiver Eron Riley, who caught his first career touchdown last week against Wake Forest.
Sean Dockery was one of three senior starters for theBlue Devils, registering 10points in only 18 minutes.

W. SOCCER from page 11 match by captain Carolyn Ford, who was recently named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. “I’m so glad that she’s on my team,” head coach Robbie Church said of Ford following Duke’s 10th shutout of the year Wednesday. [The award] was fully justified. Every time we step on the field, I’m glad to know that she’s on my side.” The senior has been key to the Blue Devils’ defensive success and is also a respected leader among her teammates. “She demands the best out of everyone,” midfielder Darby Kroyer said. “She kicks our butts in practice. I think that she is the best organizer on the team.” Kroyer is currently tied for the Blue Devil lead with 12 points this season, including a team-high five goals. Duke is 4-1 in games in which she scores. If Duke can pull off another unlikely win tonight, they will face either secondseeded Florida State or third-seeded Virginia in the finals. This year is the first time since 1999 that all four top seeds in the ACC Championship have advanced to the semifinals. All four teams are also ranked in the top 12 in the country. “That’s why all of us players came to ACC schools,” said forward Sarah McCabe. “It’s for opportunities like that to play against the best teams in the country.” Duke could be the first team to knock North Carolina out of the conference tournament before the finals since the event was established in 1987. Though no college team has ever defeated the Tar Heels twice in a season, the Virginia Select club team beat them three times in 1980 and the McLean Grasshoppers won twice in 1979. The Tar Heels have won sixteen of the “

eighteen ACC Championships that have taken place. They lost to N.C. State in 1988 and Virginia last year. Both losses came in shootouts, and UNC has never lost a tournament game in regulation. Despite the difficult odds stacked against them, the Blue Devils are set on making history tonight. “I think it’s going to be a great atmos-
phere, a really competitive atmosphere,” McCabe said. “Everyone’s going bring their best game.”

dents’ support for the LGBT community. The Alliance for Queer Undergraduates at Duke sponsors an annual Coming Out Week full of events regarding LGBT issues. Most recently, controversy regarding the suspension of a rainbow flag from a dorm window*during the week elicited both criticism and support for the LGBT community. It is thus clear that students both within and outside of the LGBT community have an interest in discussing various social, political and cultural issues. The new panel program will ideally help fill the void left by the decline of SpeakOut!, offering members of the University the opportunity to engage in dialogue. But the success of the program hinges on a handful of key factors. First, the LGBT Center must put forth a concerted publicity effort. Posters, flyers, advertisements—getting the word out about the existence of the
panel is crucial
to its efficacy. Second, the community must reach out to the LGBT Center with requests for panel programs. As noted, it is evident that there is much to discuss with regard to LGBT issues—and much desire for that discussion to occur. It is up to students to encourage their organizations to ask for presentations and continue the dialogue the panels stimulate even after the end of formal discussions. Third, the LGBT center must make sure that it does not cater only to niche aspects of theLGBT community. It must work to develop a range of options for participation and identification. The new program represents an excellent opportunity not just for the LGBT community but for campus in general. The Duke community must both spread the word about the initiative and seize the chance to translate the panelists’ knowledge and experience first into dialogue—and then into progress.

in rarified company as a Chronicle columnist. Before I started writing a column, I generally avoided even reading Chronicle columns, because the fact is, most of them suck. Not in that they are poorly written (though some, including mine, are), but mostly they just mindnumbingly boring. I doubt that anyone reads the Chronicle so they can read hard-hitting journalism or great prose, and if they did, they probably wouldn’t do it for long. Who cares about what some 20 year-old econ or joe cox political science students not quite fiction thinks about Harriet Miers or the war in Iraq? Does anyone care what you’ve read and regurgitated from the New York Times? If I wanted to know what was in the Times, I would read the Times, not your bastardized opinions of it. Instead of writing about the news, which despite what you think, probably everyone already knows more about than you, why don’t you write about yourself? Unfortunately, as trite and masturbatory as political columns are, columns about personal lives are usually far worse. Anecdotal musings about your dad probably aren’t even interesting to your dad, and they certainly aren’t interesting to me. When a columnist writes about themselves, usually they can’t strip away the shimmer of narcissism and yet they simultaneously won’t just give into it and become Tucker Max. And so the result is a steaming pile of crappy insights into Americana, which are as uninteresting as they are uninspiring that they make me read the advertisements to break up the monotony. So here are my ready made writing-a-column-no-one-willread rules for success: First, assume no one cares about what you write and that the only way to make them care is to be offensive, say what they were already thinking but never put into words or to transcend your own talent and write a good column. I am not positive, but in most cases the last one isn’t an option. Stephen Miller, Shadee Malaklou and Matt Sullivan (his column that began “Dear Cameron Crazies, you suck.” is perhaps the best thing ever in the Chronicle) are prime examples of the power of Just saying whatever you want and pissing people off. On the other hand, Adam Yoffie’s open letter to Jesse Longoria managed to both be transcendentand say exactly what I had been thinking for a long time. Other than that, everyone else has been failing the first rule. Secondly, if you don’t have anything interesting to say, write about something everyone has an opinion about. I understand the pressures of not having an idea that is either funny, offensive or interesting—until I got this idea I was going to write about registering for classes. However, it is inexcusable to write about things like: your opinion about popped collars, a play-by-play of what it is like to tent or Hurricane Katrina. If I was trapped in a room with nothing to do for the rest of eternity, I still wouldn’t read a column about any of those things Third, stop taking yourself seriously, because no one else does. I would like to think that people are waiting in line to read whatever I vomit onto a page at 2:30 in the morning while inebriated. However, in reality, Chronicle columns are what people read when one of their friends is writing or when they have to take a dump. The problem is that most people who write for the,Chronicle also read the Chronicle and force their friends to read the Chronicle (or at least whatever they wrote) and so they begin to think a lot ofpeople read the Chronicle. A lot of people do read the Chronicle, specifically the page with the crossword on it and Doonesbury. Your opinions are not important to anyone, least of all people who are reading it while in class, since even geology is more interesting than what you have to say. Some of you are probably thinking, “What an a-hole.” But consider this: I am writing a boring column that is only offensive to the ten or fifteen people who work at the Chronicle, and I am undoubtedly taking my own opinion seriously. These rules are designed for me as much as for you, and if you don’t want to follow them, well, stop writing and start saving the newspaper 700 words of drivel a week.
