Hearn pledges more dialogue with facul By Brad Gunton

Assistant News Editor

Ongoing concerns over inad­equate salaries and communica­tion between the faculty and ad­ministration recently led President Thomas K. Heamjr. to address the faculty in a special meeting heldjan. 14.

ries have increased by an average of 5 percent, excluding retirees and new hires, the university has failed to improve its ranking among similar universities. His solution will be to direct income from gains in the endowment to­ward raising the salaries of faculty and staff. He said he hopes that this plan will bring the university closer to its goal within the next few years.

"The plan that we're outlining envisions a two year effort, but it's a moving target," Hearn said. "What we do is one thing, but we have no control over what other institutions do."

"The whole series of controversies ·throughout the fall semester gave rise to the feeling that there was

not a sufficient forum for continued dialogue between

faculty and the administration, and it will be our aim to remedy

that." Thomas K. Hearn Jr.

"The details of the plan are still being worked out and are subject to the approval of the board of trustees," Hearn said.

cation that arose from the contro­versies surrounding WFDD and the Wake Forest Baptist Church in the fall semester.

"A fundamental issue has been the feeling that the faculty's voice was not sufficiently heard," Hearn said.

In an effort to improve commu­nication, Hearn will attend meet­ings with faculty members and the University Senate. In addition to meeting directly with the fac­ulty, Hearn will also issue peri­odic reports, possibly over the Internet, to whlch the faculty may respond.

Hearn's address comes after meeting with smaller groups of faculty members throughout the fall. A persistent topic of concern has been faculty salaries, which remain at the bottom of lists of comparable universities despite the Plan for the Class of 2000's goal of making the salaries above average by the graduation of this year's seniors.

Wireless Internet pilot be~-· A pilot program for ThinkPads may make ethernet cords a thing of the past when it comes to Internet communication.

By Robert Mullinax Old Gold and Black Reporter

TheY ear of Science and Technology has brought about new improvements to the technological lives of a select group of students here at the university. According to the university Web page, the hard­ware and software required to tum a ThinkPad into a wireless computer will be distributed jan. 28 to students who registered to be a part of a pilot program.

The possibility of receiving e-mail and surfing the World Wide Web without plugging into the net­work has many students excited. "I can't wait to check and answer my e-mails in the library without all those annoying cords. It seemed as if I was always losing my dongle," junior Pete Iskander said.

In addition to the Z. Smith Reynolds Library, wireless computers also can be used in the Benson University Center's food court, Shorty's, third-floor commons area and fourth-floor multipurpose room .

The university Web page also cites the Pit, the Mag Room, the Green Room, the Mag Court, the Quad and the IS Food Court as wireless friendly zones. The Atrium, the patio, and the first floor study room in Polo Residence Hall are also men­tioned as areas where the full benefits of wireless computers could be utilized.

The university web page explained that these particular areas would be denoted with the use ol

Asian student offers her perspective on racism By Surupa Dasgupta

ASIA President

Someone special once described me as "bright­eyed and bushy tailed" my first year at this univer­sity. Now, as a junior, I feel, as the late Tupac Shakur described, "older and colder from having the weight of the world on my shoulder."

The world has revealed to me some unsettling truths at this university. As is often the case with minority students, I have undergone a self-imposed exile from minority affairs, through a semester abroad.

Having returned energized, I am ready to recol­lect my experiences in the hopes that they may assist others in realizing the level of racism on campus and the reasons for many students, who

initially begin strong in student politics, to withdraw from activism.

To describe when I first felt the extent of xeno­phobia and racism on campus would be merely to consider my very first days at orientation.

In my freshmen year, there were too many times when I was surrounded by verbal racial assaults. I began as many people do, by asking questions of myself.

By questioning my beliefs and socialization, I underwent a self-inventory.

During this time I embraced the Asian Student Interest Association as a support structure. This group provided me with the framework to thrive in the university setting by developing a sense of ownership to the establishment and discovering similar, like-minded peers who were equally strug·

gling to find their role on this homogeneous cam­pus.

In. my first semester I really struggled and felt perpetually in a dichotomy between other students. My alienation was a different mechanism than the ones faced by my hallmates; their concerns were not rooted in the validation of their worth at this university.

By my second semester I decided that the stu­dents for whom I initially made excuses, such as, "They didn't mean that the way it sounded," did not deserve such meticulous consideration and perhaps weren't "essentially good at heart."

As my hallmates prepared for spring Rush I began analyzing what resources really existed for

Bookstore getting face-lift, coffee

By Susannah Rosenblatt Old Gold and Black &porter

Come mid-March, there will be a brand new hangout on campus, as the College Bookstore undergoes a series of renova­tions.

Headed by Buz Moser, the director of University Stores, the changes range from adding more office supply and non-text book inventory to the addition of a coffee shop area. "We're working to bring the Wake Forest community a bookstore it deserves," Moser said.

to the textbook department, now acces­sible only from the outside. Students and faculty should be able to order textbooks and office supplies online in the future. Also, the bookstore is entering into a partnership with Office Depot, which will expand their office supply offerings as well as keep prices at retail levels.

Moser's plan is a response to the "de­sire in the administration to take the store to another level," according to Kevin Cox, the assistant director of media rela­tions. "The university decided the store needed another look; the general under­standing was that the store was ready for not just renovations but new services."

Old Gold and Black News

Lambda Chis are cookin'

The three-phase renovation is slated to last several months, culminating in the middle of March. The first phase, shifting bookstore offices to the left side of the building, is complete. The second phase, adding more art and office supplies, is expected to be finished in February; the store will close for two weeks during this time, beginningJan. 22.

The most dramatic change, however, is the third phase's Barnes and Noble­esque transformation, injecting a homier atmosphere into the store. The book­store will offer increased inventory of greeting cards, CDs, room accessories such as fans and surge protectors, and will double its non-text book offerings. Starbucks coffee will be available, to be enjoyed by the newly installed seating area and fireplace, or at the tables and chairs outside the store.

To gather ideas for the project, Moser visited approximately 20 college book­stores around the country, at schools such as Emory University, Notre Dame University, Harvard University and the University of Virginia. Student focus groups, and a marketing study by MBA students here contributed data to the project.

One of the first Rush events for Lamba Chi Alpha fraternity was a cookout w~h the brotherhood on Davis Field. Men's Rush events started Jan. 15 and will conclude Jan. 23. Rush culminates in parties on pledge night Jan. 28, the beginning of the pledging pertod for men.

Money for the renovations is coming from the bookstore budget. According to Moser, expenses should be recouped in the next three to five years because of increased sale volume. The university's Facilities Management and private con­tractors are undertaking the renovations, which are "on schedule," according to Cox.

1998-99 police report shows decrease in violent crimes

"I'd like to see the College Bookstore offer our community another attractive place to meet on the Quad," Moser said.

Other changes include in-store access

"The changes people will see reflect our effort to improve in every area of service to our customers, which include students, faculty, staff, alumni and cam­pus visitors," Moser said.

Despite federal grants, university police, much like other universities, face a challenge when filling positions.

Old Gold and Black Reporter

The University Police Department recently released its annual report for the 1998-99 academic year. The report comprises figures representing crime sta­tistics on and near campus, along with the status of the department. In general the figures vary.

The executive summary preceding the report reads, "Overall the number of crimes reported and calls responded to by University Police has increased, but violent crimes, damage to property, traf­fic accidents and other trespassing con­tinue to decrease."

The actual numbers of incidents re­ported to the University Police show an increase in workload for the department. There were a total of2,686 reports made to the department during the time of the report. This is a significant increase in reports when compared to the numbers of the previous year.

However, the figures also indicate that the number of apprehensions for inci­dents has gone down from 33 the previ­ous year to 18 in the time of the report. Most numerous among the apprehen­sions last year were eight charges for Driving While Impaired.

Regina Lawson University Police Chief

"We also handle students that are not in need of emergency transportation like ambulances, but are in need of assis­tance."

Requests for escorts such as these made up over 300 of the reports received by the department. Fire alarms accounted for over 250 of these reports. · · ·

Another significant duty of the depart­ment during the past year was the en­forcement of alcohol policies. During the fall semester of 1998, University Police charged 19 students with alcohol violations on campus. Seven students were charged off campus by the depart­ment.

During the 1999 spring semester, 34 students were charged with alcohol vio­lations on campus, and one was charged off campus. Of the alcohol incidents that took place in the fall of 1998, 62 percent were consumption, 14 percent were in­toxication and 24 percent were for DWI. In the spring of 1999, 68 percent were for consumption, 23 percent were for in­toxication and nine percent were for DWI.

{. ob market that are excited about the ong hours, stress and possible dangers of a career with the police force."

She added that it is always a chal­lenge to gain good officers because of competition with other agencies. The conclusion of the report states, "Reten­tion is greatly impeding departmental progress and impacts our patrol pres­ence on campus. Other law enforce• · ment agencies are; hiring·,.officers• at more attractive salaries and offering a better benefit package."

Lawson said that larger state and federal agencies are in more of a posi­tion to offer such options.

The department is positive about some preventive programs that are being implemented on campus. Lawson indicated continued support for the Rape Aggression Defense pro­gram.

She also expressed enthusiasm about a future program that includes "fatal vision goggles." This program is in­tended to simulate intoxication in or­der to educate students further on the effects of alcohol.

The department has pledged contin­ued involvement in campus life. They have expressed interest in continuing to work with organizations such as the Honor and Ethics Council, and other organizations to improve safety on cam­pus.

Amanda Jones/Old Gold and Black

New features in the bookstore will include Starbuck's coffee, a sitting area and an increased inventory. Students can expectto find CDs,room accessories and more office supplies thanks to a partnership with Office Depot.

One reason for the difference between the number of reports and the decrease in apprehensions is that not all reports made to the department are for serious offenses.

"Some of our calls concern things like students who need transportation after the campus shuttles are off duty," Uni­versity Police ChiefRegina Lawson said.

The alcohol policy has been under scrutiny recently and various on campus organizations are looking into ways to improve the situation. "I think it is great that students are coming to the table and acknowledging that this is a concern," Lawson said. "Students have to take some responsibility for this and I com­mend them for doing so. I encourage them to go forward."

Other than statistics of on campus

Lawson added that the department is "always open to comments and criti­cism from students. We are committed to students and want to hear what they have to say."

Protestsurrrotlllds hate rally in Chicago Protesters' reactions to a white supremacist stem from a rally, pamphlets and a related shooting.

By Kristin Turney U-Wire

Twenty-five students, staff and com­munity members met jan. 18 at Norris University Center to discuss white su­premacist Matt Hale's presence on cam­pus and to schedule an anti-hate demon­stration.

TheN orthwestern community reacted immediately after Hale announcedJan. 17 he would come to campus, organizing the meeting and agreeing to stage an anti­hate rally at 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Eric Ruder, a North Chicago resident who led the meeting, said the group would protest outside the Technological Institute half an hour before Hale is sched­uled to arrive. Ruder said Hale and his followers pose a threat to the community and his presence "calls for a united front demonstration."

"They're about action, they're about violence and they're about murder," he said. Racist pamphlets from Hale's World Church of the Creator were first distrib­uted on campus during Fall Quarter. The literature sparked an uproar from stu­dents and faculty still angry at the shoot­ing death of former NU basketball coach Ricky Byrdsong, who was killed by one of Hale's followers.

After the pamphlets were found on North Campus, Hale asked administra­tors to formally recognize a campus reli­gious group that supports his views. When he was turned down, Hale threatened to come to campus .

Participants at the meeting agreed that Matt Hale should not be underestimated.

"If we ignore him, it will make it easier for him to plant himself here," Ruder said. "We need to make it clear that we don't want him at Northwestern."

Ruder encouraged all students to at­tend the demonstration, which will tenta­tively include speakers and anti-racist chan.ts .. ' '•' ''', I' , -~:~.) II(• ,,·>T,L4

ParticipantsattheJan.18meetingcalled themselves Students Against Hate, an ad hoc group of students, staff and commu­nity members of all political organiza­tiops who are dedicated to stopping the spread of racism.

StudentsAgainstHate members agreed they must actively prepare for Hale in the days ahead. Freshman Lizzy Gore said publicity is necessary to discourage Hale's presence on campus.

"This is more than a political issue," Gore said. "We need to build up inter­est."

Protesters said they hope to motivate community members and rally NU stu­dents through fliering, listserv mailings and dorm and class announcements.

Strong student and community sup­portJan. 21 will be critical to stopping Hale's message, said Aidan Leonard, a Medill sophomore.

"Hopefully Northwestern students will be able to overcome their apathy to real­ize Hale is a very real and present threat," Leonard said. "Support is key to suc­cess."

Rabbi Michael Balinsky of Hillel Cul­tural Life said about half the students he polled supported a rally Jan. 21, while the others did not approve of the confronta­tional style. Gore said she worries that Hale might be using the media frenzy surrounding him to his advantage.

"Matt Hale scares me because he knows exactly what he's doing," Gore said. "He's using us and the media as a tool."

Hello students and welcome back! You may notice that this section of the paper, that we affectionately call EARTH CORNER, is new. Well, you should expect to see EARTH CORNER about once a month and it is our hope that you will continually refer to it to keep abreast of cool info. The main purpose of EARTH CORNER is to educate the student body on issues directly related to recycling on campus - to raise your awareness, increase your understanding, and eventually increase the amount of recycling on campus. This is a student initiated activity, through the Student Environmental Action Coalition, in close cooperation with Facilities Management. Look for more to come in the following months!!

Speaker examines life of computers, future of humans Suzanne DuBose

Online Editor

Unlike pastY ear of Science and Technology guest speakers, George Dyson, author of Darwin Among the Machines, was willing to brave hazardous weather in order to speak at 4 p.m. Jan. 18 to a packed Pugh Auditorium.

Despite the tempting snowy weather, numerous students and faculty members arrived to hear Dyson speak, many intrigued by computer science professor Jen­nifer Burg's Brown Bag Lunch Discussion on Dyson's life and book givenJan. 13 in Calloway 301.

Burg presented the main ideas ofDyson' s book and subsequently the main theme ofhis speech titled "Living in a Networked World: There's Plenty of Room at the Top."

"Thought is just the manifesta­tion of this material thing, the brain," Burg said.

"What we know oflife is that life has the ability to expand and to fill whatever niche has become available," Dyson said.

While his book and speech topic might make one expect Dyson to be yet another techno-futurist praising Silicon Valley and the technological revolution, he proved himself in reality a down­to-earth naturalist and historian.

"I'm not a futurist; I'm a histo­rian," Dyson said. "I look back and fmd the people who predicted the present and then figure if they predicted this much right they may know a little bit about what will happen further on."

Dyson left his home at the age of 16 and moved to British Co­lumbia to live in a tree house and make kayaks.

He plugged his first book on kayaks claiming "this is the real reason why I'm here," to provide a lesson for the college crowd. Publishers rejected the book over 20 times.

Dyson read the most humiliat­ing of the rejection letters leading him to tell the college crowd:

speaker's podium. His talk didn't seem to have a direct purpose or set ide, but rather just brought up concerns over increased techno­logical dependence and how ma­chines also fit into Darwin's theme of evolution.

"Obviously machines are be­coming more intelligent," Dyson said. "The real danger is will people become less intelligent ... Our abilities could very easily start to atrophy as life became too easy."

Yet when asked about this state­ment after the speech, Dyson as­sured the audience he'd much rather people in our increasingly technological world be glued to the computer than to a television screen that would surely make us devolve even faster.

"Doing anything on a computer, even playing the worst computer game, is better than watching tele­vision," Dyson said. "Television is definitely a severe detriment to intelligence."

Am•1nrlR .lnn•>s/(J1/r1Go/d

Thus Dyson proposes that thought could occur in machines as well if the matter were arranged correctly.

"We are learning that biology has many different kinds of intel­ligence that are not like our own but are still intelligent," Dyson said.

"When you are rejected, don't feel rejected."

Dyson obviously has no need to feel rejected any longer; Dar­win Among the Machines became a national best seller in 1996, the year it was released.

Dyson was especially interested in the long-term effects laptop dis­tribution would have on our cam­pus' educational results, although presently he believes it is working as a positive asset in our class­rooms.

As he left the lecture, George Dyson added a few final coments to the attendants. Dyson believes that people are at the risk of becoming less intelligent by watching television.

els and the question forus is where does life go next?" Dyson said.

Dyson then said that if Rene Descartes is correct in saying "I think therefore I am," then the thinking computer could become the next of the planet's life forms.

Yet, as Dyson hesitatingly and clumsily addressed the crowd, it was obvious he longed for his tree house home much more than the

"You're actually using them to enhance your educational process versus just turning it into a broad­casting system," Dyson said.

What Dyson believes will en­sure the survival of this upcoming computer species on our campus and in the world beyond is

"People tend to think evolution is just random mutations, but it is selective," Dyson said. "What (computer software} code can operate that will ensure its sur-

vival is money." Dyson not only expressed his belief that comput­ers would evolve into intelligent beings themselves, but that they might also merge with the human species in the future.

Salaries Continued from Page A 1

the faculty's salaries. The university is compared to three

different groups of institutions - the top 50 national universities, the top 40 na­tionalliberal arts colleges according to US News and World Report and a small group of "joint-admission" institutions - those with which the university regu­larly competes for students. When look­ing at the university next to all three of these groups, its faculty salaries fall near the bottom in each different group.

When compared to the top 50 na­tional universities in terms of strictly faculty salaries, the university is ranked 46th. Cal Tech is number one, paying its professors an average of $104,000 per year, compared to the university, which pays its professors an average of $65,500 per year.

The salary figures are drawn from Academe magazine's 1999 report and take the average of all faculty salaries, which include professional school pro­fessors along with undergraduate full, associate and assistant professors. They also show that, when compared to the top 40 national liberal arts colleges, the university is 36th. These numbers are even more telling in this comparison, because professors from the business and law schools, who are paid more on average than college faculty, arenotfac­tored in. When the faculties for the Law, Babcock Graduate School of Manage­ment and Calloway Schools are no longer averaged in, the facully are paid anaverageof$57,200peryear,$18,600 less than Amherst, the number one school at $75,800 thousand a year.

Traditionally, the university has not compared itself to these national institu­tions, but instead to a smaller set of southern colleges, or joint-admission" institutions, with which the university competes most vigorously for students. Among the nine other joint-admission institutions, the university ranks eighth for full professors, paying them $15,700 less per year than number one-ranked Duke University.

The university ranks eighth for assis­tant professors as well.

The undergraduate Plan for the Class of 2000, a plan for various improve­ments to the university by the time the Class of 2000 graduated, stated that the administration's goal was to "raise fac­ulty salaries to a level above the average joint-admission institutions in all ranks in 2-5 years" and "to the top third of the joint-admission institutions within a de­cade."

Thus, the minimum goals set forth in the Plan remain unmet. Data compar­ing the university to the other joint­admission institutions since 1981-82 show that no real progress has been made and that the university has re­mained relatively stable in its low rank­ing over the years.

Beyond just looking at the university's faculty salaries in comparison with other groups of institutions, tl1e AAUP study examined the total compensation, sal­ary plus fringe benefits, received by faculty at the joint-admission institu­tions.

Theuniversitycameinlast,at$78,700,

Data comparing the university to the other joint-admission institutions since 1981-82 show that no real progress has been made and that the university has

remained relatively stable in its low ranking over the years.

compared to Duke at $106,400, when all faculty salaries from both the college and professional schools were factored in.

The ·results presented by the AAUF show·that.by their estimates; assuming the university maintains its roughly 394 faculty members, it will take $4.61 mil­lion annually to reach the minimum goal of the Class of 2000. The study indicates that "the faculty are experi­encingadouble-whammy: Not only are faculty salaries comparatively low, bul fringe benefits constitute a lower per· cent of total compensation."

The AAUP's report also states thal budget constraints were put into effecl for 1999-2000, and thus could be seen as a reason for low faculty salaries; how­ever, no relative progress was made before they were imposed.

TheAAUPFacultySalaryStudyCom­rnittee 1999 Report states that an ongo­ing concern among the faculty involves the level of faculty salaries compared to the administrators. The report stated that given the fiscal constraints that have been offered as explanations for low faculty salaries, one would expect thal they would act on administrators' sala­ries as well. Thus the university's ad· ministrators' salaries should be lower than the average salaries at comparable institutions. This, however, is not the case.

Data derived from the Nov. 26, 1999 Chronicle of Higher Education reports thal the median presidential compensation for "Doctonil Universities," which the university can be classified as, was $200,420, but President Thomas K Hearn Jr. received $453,100.

The report also compared the data in a president-to-faculty ratio, showing the university ranked number three in the nation, with Hearn earning 5. 76 times the average faculty member. Two years ago, based on data for 1995-96, the university had the highest presidenU faculty ratio of the 50 national universi­ties and 40 liberal arts colleges.

So what attracts professors to the uni­versity when they could earn much more at another university? According to David Weinstein, an associate pro­fessor of politics, "it depends on wha1 one wants to do, what one's profes-'alal" swn go s are. He said that "Wake Forest promotes

itself as being deeply committe a to teach­ing undergraduates," and that the uni­versity is a great place if you "want to be at a place where scholarship and teach· ing roughly count the same." But the general air of professors is one of dis· dain, and that many are here because ol the unavailability of jobs elsewhere. Weinstein went on to say that it is "a function of the market.

"The market for teaching positions i~ extremely competitive," he said. "Wake Forest can hire top caliber people be­cause people can't get jobs" elsewhere.

Bill to limit student access to Internet TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona students who surf the Web or peruse racy sites on uni­versity computers could be dis­connected if two bills sponsored by Arizona State Rep. Jean McGrath, a Republican from Glendale, become law.

The current bill would require university course catalogs and syllabi to provide an "accurate and complete summary" of course content and allow students who feel they have been misled to drop a comse without academic or fi­nancial penalty.

This proposal was discussed in committee last week and is also being held.

McGrath said the bill encom­ages "truth in advertising'' and is a result of the "lesbian component" insome Women's Studies courses.

Importance of boycott lost on campus STANFORD, Calif.- When se­nior Nate Gillespie first came to Stanford, he "went along" with most of his freshman dorm in voting to support the Stanford grape boycott.

One bill would prohibit univer­sity students from using campus Internet connections for ~any,ac• tivity that is not directly related; to ' ·' a specific educational purpose."

·. . But J;his year, Gillespie, a resi­, ·' Ark;ona 'Dailj Wildcat dent assistant in Cardenal, voted

against the boycott himself and said most people in his house had a "'So what?' attitude about the whole thing."

chairs. Another bill would require uni­

versities to install or subscribe to lntemetfilters on their computers to prevent access to sexually ex­plicit material.

This proposal was discussed and passed out of committee last week and is being held.

McGrath described the filter­ing bill as a fix for an oversight in university Internet access. The American Civil Liberties Union described it as a "frankly, absurd" attempt to "denigrate the very existence of the First Amend­ment."

The ACLU'sEleanor Eisenberg was one of several opponents of the bill. She argued that univer­sity students are private citizens, not employees. Therefore, regu­lations are an inappropriate in­fringement on academic freedom and research. She added that no state court has upheld such regu­lations.

Greg Fahey, UA associate vice president for state relations, rep­resented the university opposi­tion to the bill.

He said the university has 32,000 work stations, which makes en­forcement of such a law "highly questionable."

"We don't have computer po­lice on this," he said.

Rep. Dean Cooley, R-Mesa, responded with disappointment.

"If you do not, you should," he said, adding that his granddaugh­ter held such a position supervis­ing Internet use at Arizona State University.

Fahey also said the bill would obstruct research on breast and testicular cancer and would be costly.

No money is provided in the bill to cover filtering costs.

"We don't have any money to fundanythingthis year," McGrath said .

Cooley defended the Arizona State Legislature's power to regu· late university Internet use.

"It is om responsibility to estab­lish policy," he said.

A third McGrath bill echoes her previous attempt to force the UA to state in its catalog which courses contain homosexual con­tent.

EVANSTON, Ill. - Why go Greek when you can go Gore?

Twenty Northwestern students will trade Gone Greek Night rev­eling Saturday for a trip to the Iowa caucuses, where they will campaign for Democratic presi­dential hopeful AI Gore.

"I'm sorry to miss out on all that drunkenness," said sophomore Neil Helbraun, who is organizing the trip for the Gore campaign. "But Iowa's going to be better."

Volunteer work will include knocking on doors, calling regis­tered Democrats and participat­ingin a pre-caucus Gore pep rally, said Helbraun.

Students will volunteer before and during the Jan. 24 caucus. Unlike a primary, in which citi­zens vote directly for a candidate in a voting booth, caucus partici­pants discuss candidates' qualifi­cations in a group setting before placing their votes .

Iowa holds the first caucus in the nation and is widely consid­ered an early indicator of party favorites.

"This is a great opportunity for anyone who's interested, regard­less of prior political knowledge or commitment," Helbraun said. "It's a chance to really experience the American democratic process and participate in that which makes our country great."

Helbraun said participants are eager to campaign for the vice president. "NU students are very passionate about their beliefs," he said. "The people who have de­cided to come out really feel strongly about this opportunity. It's a tremendous learning experi­ence, and it's a really positive thing for the country."

Helbraun has recruited a di­verse group to participate this weekend, from students in a cre­ative nonfiction class to the presi­dent of College Libertarians.

"I'll be supporting Gore with the group," said Mark Kutzbach, the president of College Libertar­ians. "I think he would be more fiscally prudent (than challenger Bill Bradley)."

But not all of the participants are die-hard Gore supporters.

"I'd rather have Bradley," said

Gillespie is not alone. Increas­ing apathy and discontent with the boycott appears to be cam­pus-wide.

The grape boycott has been an issueatStanfordsince 1994, when four students staged a three-day hunger strike to protest the condi­tions of grape workers.

The University struck down requests for a campus-wide grape boycott and turned the matter over to the Office of Residential Edu­cation.

Residences now vote on the is­sue in November of each year, after a month in which informa­tion is provided to each residence in the form of fliers and videos that represent the pros and cons of the boycott.

But according to Gillespie, "Those people who were there and witnessed (the hunger strike) are all gone now. Most people today don't really understand wby they are supposed to care."

"The (grapes debate) video ... was trying so hard to put out so many different viewpoints, it ended up saying nothing," Gillespie said. "The university didn't do a very good job clarify­ing why this should be the big issue of debate."

He added, "People who have been here a while are getting weary of the process itself. A no vote is more a vote against the whole grapes debate process itself than against the boycott."

Senior Jorge Manzano ex­plained the low turnout of voters and lack of support for the boy­cott by saying, "Stanford students are so concerned with their !­banking future, they don't care about real social concerns."

Despite the efforts of students such as Manzano, some students don't care about the issue at all. When asked what he thought of the grape boycott, sophomore Alex Shvartzmen said, "I don't."

He didn't vote this year or last year but said many people in Junipero, his freshman dorm, "strained their friendships because of (the debate)," although he doesn't know if "it was just fresh­man dorm frustration or the issue itself."

signs that point out a wireless zone.

The possession of a wireless computer is accompanied by nu­merous responsibilities for stu­dents who receive the new tech­nology.

For instance, all program par­ticipants must complete one brief online evaluation.

The university Web page cites the need for Information Systems to know exactly what pilot par­ticipants think about the wireless comruters.

AI of those who received the wireless computer software will be required to return the technol­ogy to Information Systems March 28.

However, one of the conse­quences of a successful pilot pro­gram and positive participant feedback could be to offer wire­less computers to all students.

The university Web page of­fers an outline of how a wireless computer system that was avail­able to a limitless number of stu­dents might proceed.

According to the Web page, the service would be available for a monthly fee, and it would allow the students to check their e-mail and scan the web from any one of the above-mentioned wireless zones.

This possibility left Iskander, who is participating in the pilot program, eager to see the system implemented.

"I can't imagine how exciting it would be to day trade on-line while sitting on the Quad enjoy­ing a beautiful North Carolina spring day," Iskander said.

For those who are involved in the pilot, the university Web page cites Resident Technology Advi­sors as those who will act as the support team for the new wireless technology.

The RTAs appear eager to ful­fill the duties associated with the program.

"We're the liasons for IS, and we're here to get infmmation to the students" sophomore and RTA Lauren Andrews said. ?:We're here to help," sophomore and RTA Lindsey Evans said.

A final topic that Hearn dis­cussed was the creation of a day care center for faculty and staff.

Heani said that the issue has been very complicated as a result

of the numerous regulations and codes that must be complied with for the day care center to be es­tablished.

A number of meetings will be held on campus to discuss such issues as location, cost and de­sign.

Hearn's message was generally well-received by the faculty. James Powell, an associate pro­fessor of classical languages and also the secretary of the faculty, said that it was beneficial to hear the president's solutions to ongo­ing problems.

Snow falling on Wake Students awoke on the morning of Jan. 18 to find that their e-mail inboxes and voicemails confirmed what everyone had hoped for: the Reynolda campus was shut down for the day, meaning that all classes were cancelled and that many services, including the post office, were unavailable. While classes resumed Jan. 19, many students still look hopefully to the sky and to the forecast for signs of future storms and class cancellations.

Asian Americans on this campus. I felt then and still feel now, that I couldn't rush because the same people I would socialize with during weekend events may not respect me under a different setting. I continually feel exotic or invisible and in so many ways I feel people accept certain characteristics of me rather than the collective whole.

I believe that this university, by not investing in the development of Asian Americans, is suppress­ing a whole community of students, who have a lot to offer to the student body by way of insight and

leged background to willfully ignore the concerns of those around you.

The problem of racism has further been timelessly depicted on this campus through the many forums and discussion workshops hosted by the Black Stu­dent Alliance, the Alliance for Racial and Cultural Harmony, ASIA, and also through numerous ar­ticles in the Old Gold and Black, the voice of "The Struggle," which specifically targets minority con­cerns, and undeniably through dialogue with any student of color on this campus.

If so many people are expressing a problem that is true to them, not caring is not a solution. I repeat,

to doubt the authen­ticity of a problem is not a solution. Too often the

culture. Having grown up between East and West, appeasing all, has resulted in my having a unique angle of vision in life.

Through my socializa­tion, I learned to avoid certain characteristics that should give rise to ridicule, such as oblivi­ousness to feelings, which was the existing paradigm here. As So­joumerTruth delineated

in her speech "Ain't I a Woman?" I found motiva­tion to question the structures that seemed to be the prevailing norm here. I began demanding my rights in my sophomore year.

Through visionary leaders' guidance such as Praneetha Akula, '99, Omaar Hena, '99, and Al­Husein Madhany, '98, I realized that change at this university could only happen through my own volition. I contributed to the efforts of ASIA and WAKE TV's "The Struggle" to disseminate the point of view of minority students. I participated in a number offorums to discuss what can be done to establish better race relations, but unfortunately these have been poorly attended by non-minority students.

My fundamental criticism of students on this campus is that too many are apathetic. In our times, with the breadth of information available, there is no excuse for ignorance to racism. There can be no explanation to not being cognizant of the struggle that minority students, especially Asian Americans, face on this campus and nationally. To not realize this takes a particular conscious effort of a privi-

fundamentally shows the privilege of not having a vested interest in the progress and amelioration of others and to perpetuate oppressive patterns of the past. To disparage someone in regards to race and notrecognizetheirvexationsisfundamentallywrong, yet it continues on this campus.

The legacy of racism against the stark contrast to the ideals in which this country was created is pertinent to the Asian American struggle for appre­ciation on this campus. I feel the Asian American experience is silenced because of the traumatic exploitation of Mrican Americans in this nation currently and in the past. This results in so many issues at this university being divided by black or white color lines.

Lately it has occurred to me that multiculturalism is more a system of integration between black and white rather than the embracing of various different cultures in all their beauty and complexity. I con­tinually find being an Asian American on campus and in the realm of corporate America a fearsome challenge.

cans, because of ethnic visibility, will always feel the pains of bigotry. We are further singled out like African Americans, because of being raised with very different norms and methods of socialization, developing from dress, speech and mannerisms. However, having stated these similarities, I also want my culture to be equally recognized and appreciated.

I feel that this does not happen here, and Asian Americans become one of the most glaringly under­represented and amalgamated groups on campus. The attempts of ASIA are to reconcile these dispari­ties and to give a voice to this silenced group. Efforts have been made by the organization to recognize the contributions of Asians in politics, through keynote speakers such as Arun Gandhi, and in the arts, through sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar.

For the most part, Asian Americans can over­come discrimination on a primary basis through our notoriously disciplined upbringing and dedica­tion to academics. It is for this reason that being an Asian American on

generations of birth in the United States. Furthermore, given the Supreme Court's inter­

pretation of civil rights legislation, it is permissible to discriminate against citizens and permanent non­citizen residents. Asian Americans are excluded from civil rights protection, which has widespread implications for every single position Asian Ameri­cans apply for. Equal opportunity does not extend in all circumstances. To the select few that have managed to climb the corporate ladder, it has taken unparalleled determination, and they are consid­ered the "super" minority. Mediocrity is not a privilege of the Asian American competing in holis­tic America.

The lackluster diversity on campus is slowly im­proving because of the power of student leaders. Madhany began ASIA in 1994; Hena and Knox Robinson, '97, created Can I Poet With You? the written publication for students of color; and senior Dipti Singh, through unbelievable determination, envisioned the Wake International Student Asso­

Asian Americans are notorious for higher average GPAs and higher average yearly incomes than other Americans, but upon closer introspec­tion I feel discrimina­tion is very severe against Asian Ameri­cans, as they are ex­pected to fend for themselves on an in­equitable "playing

field." I feel Asian Americans are undervalued and unrecognized by American society for their social, technological and intellectual advancements.

An example of this is the low number of Asian Americans in executive/managerial positions, given their experience and qualifications throughout America across all industries, especially computing and engineering. Infamous terms such as "glass ceilings" and "downsizing" have hindered minority promotion.

OPINION This column represents the views ot the Old Gold and Black Editorial Board.

Hearn's promises are a good start

L ike delivering water to a person lost in the desert, President Thomas K. Hearn Jr. has bestowed some

welcome words to the faculty at a meeting heldJa:n. 14.

Two of his main points were: the renewed promise of improved faculty salaries; and the announcement that the long·fought·for day care center may be built.

Hearn deserves accolades for making this crucial step in improving the faculty-administration relationship that has been rather strained lately, Open communication is key in this endeavor, and the many meetings Hearn has held with the faculty throughout the fall, with addition of these developments, can be nothing but a move in the right direction.

When compared to the top 50 national universities, as ranked by U.S. News and World Repor~ the average salaries of this university's faculty, including both undergraduate and graduate, ranks 46. Out of the top 40 national liberal arts colleges, the average salary of a faculty mem· ber at this university ranks 36. When compared to the nine schools that this university competes with the most for admissions, the joint-admission institutions, salaries rank eighth.

According to the Plan for the Class of 2000, the administration was to "raise faculty salaries to a level above average joint-admission institutions in all ranks in tv,ro to five years." This goal has not been met, and not only the faculty, but also the students have suffered for it.

Students have seen some of the best professors opt out of working for this uniVersity Tot Beitel' paying positions. For' example, the average faculty salaries at California Institute of Technology are the best of the top 50 schools at $106,400 a year. The average salary for a professor here is $78.700, according to a rerort released by this university s chapter of the American Association of University Professors Salary Study Committee.

Hearn announced that salaries will be improved within two years, if the plan is approved by the board of trustees,

Hearn said that the income from the endowment will be used to fin a nee the increased salaries,

Good professors are the most important element in an educational institution, and good professors dl'Servc lo be paid a good salary, not merely a sufficient salary. High technology and a huge endowment are less essential, yet in recent years it has seemed that these luxuries have usurped the faculty's place in impor­tance.

Congratulations to the administra-

tion for mending your perspective and seeing what is truly important.

The trustees need to follow suit and approve the proposal. If this means that the university will have fewer technological advancements or that the growth of the endowment will slow somewhat, then so be it.

When this university began, it did not have a multi-million dollar endowment or widespread technol­ogy, but it did have a committed faculty,

Besides faculty salaries, Hearn also discussed the day care issue. In the Jan. 22, 1998, issue of the Old Gold and B[q,ck, in an article titled "Women strive for equality" Claudia Kairoff, an associate dean of the college, said the university was committed to adminishing the inequity that exists between the numbers of male and female members of the faculty.

At the time, less than 30 percent of tenured and tenured track professors were women. There are just as many capable female as male professors, but the statistics at this university do not reflect this fact.

"There is a sincere commitment for change," Kairoff said in the article. "All I can ask for is patience."

The faculty has been patient, but patience hadn't paid off yet in the pursuit of a day care center. This was one of the ways identified to help improve the inequality. Most other comparable universities already have day care centers.

This issue has been avoided for quite some time with no promise of a day care in sight until Hearn men­tioned it in the meeting.

He said that the issue has been very comp1icated as a result of the numer­ous regulations and codes that must be complied with for the center to be established. A number of meetings will be held on campus to discuss such issues as location, cost and design.

As with the salary issue, the lack of a day care center is preventing talented professors from being able to work at this university.

Also as with the salaries, once promised, this plan must be followed up on.

It is unfair to wave the proverbial carrot in the faculty's face in the form of these plans and then not carry them out.

While this day care would signifi­cantly help improve the male to female faculty ratio, it will not benefit only them. It will benefit any mem­ber with a young family. Hopefully, it will also be made available to gradu­ate and undergraduate students and to the members of the staff.

Everyone will be better off if these two improvements are actually carried out.

Drinking 101 concept was ill-conceived

Yes, just think how wonderful it would be if "alcohol" flowed like a river through the campus.

Yes it would be better if we could have Drinking 101. Then we could all enjoy the following courses: Juvenile Behavior 101, Rape 101, after athletic contests we will be better prepared by attending Riot 101 and since you believe students are under such great pressure (wait until you graduate) we can be helped by Suicide 101 after binge drinking.

The final course should be Funeral Attendance 101 for fatal auto acci­dents. Seems like that happened not to many years ago.

Want more? The last great benefit will be to watch alumni donations drop after all the great publicity we reap for our "alcohol river."

Grow up.

1957 Coltrane album reawakens self

Far be it from my abilities to capture truly the moment. O'Kelley had just finished his second-half dismantling ofUNC, the bizarre emotions of ladies' Rush were over, and the first day of classes - for me at least - provided outstanding promise for the semester to come. But on that background, I felt detached, still a bit adrift after a month away from campus; to use a cliche, I had no center.

The moment I'm really going to fail to capture is what got me recalibrated.

As I walked back to my room after the UNC game, I was startled by how smooth the air around me flowed, and that could only mean one thing: somewhere, there was jazz playing. It wasn't just any jazz, not a stale, amateurish attempt at radio-ready smoothness, but the legendary 1957 John Coltrane album Blue Train. How long I had waited to hear a student trumpet a jazz album out their Quad­side window.

Hardly noticing the reveling Charmin and Cottonelle bandits around me, I ambled across the quad three or four times just to absorb Coltrane's feathery sax solos and pianist Kenny Drew's weighty disso­nance.

This all comes at a time to which many readers can relate - when you

Continuity is crucial for football program

To my dismay, I have just read an article written by Sean Blue, Senior Reporter in the sports section of the Old Gold and Black, Dec. 2, 1999, edition.

I seem to remember previous negative articles written by Blue relative to the football program with specific mention, in negative terms, of Head Coach Jim Caldwell. Also, as I recall there were statements made earlier in the season that the team had given up, which again was Blue's assessment of the season. It is obvious that Blue has a negative opinion of the coach and his staff, which to any knowledgeable sports fan is a ridicu­lous perception.

Let me remind the readers of the Old Gold and Black the state of the football program when Caldwell arrived. Within a few weeks of his appointment as head coach, USA Today listed the top .50 football players in the country and their top five choices of schools.

I was disappointed to see that the university was not listed in the top five choices of any of the players rated as the top 50 players in the country. Therefore, we had a new head coach come into a program where top football players were not even considering going to this univer­sity.

The strength tests, speed tests and other quantitative athletic physical tests that athletes are rated by were all below acceptable levels. In other words, the players we had were dedicated but lacked many of the necessary physical tools to compete on a week in and week out basis. Also

approach to building the football program to where we can be competi­tive on a consistent basis.

I was disappointed that we did not win nine games and I am sure that Caldwell is disappointed that we did not win II games.

But, the fact that we won six and had a good chance to win nine games speaks volumes for the level that the program has been positioned.

In fact, as you look around the ACC, the football program is silently positioned to compete and is not subjected to the level of turmoil that you see in several other institutions who have committed far more resources and have fewer hurdles to overcome to field a competitve team.

I have competed at the university against the highest level of competi­tion in this country, and I understand the intricacies that go into building a solid program. It is obvious to me that Caldwell has raised the level of our football program. Unfortunately, a person like Blue can be critical even though we now have talent and can compete.

It is my hope that Blue is one of a very few who does not understand what it takes to build a quality pro­gram at this university because obviously, we are on the right track and we need to stay the course.

Gore projects hypocritical platform His campaign message is less than trustworthy.

Regardless of whether Bill Bradley can make a real electoral show of force in the early primaries this year and

thus strongly contest the Democratic nomination, he has already done a remarkable thing to the race: he has forced Al Gore to the left. The vice president is no longer sounding like the

Paul Cella III :-,I iiDLl\.'l COT..l!MNlST

clear-headed moderate he was adver­tised as but rather a pragmatic syco­phant, committed to catering to the left­wing of the Democratic party to insure his nomination.

It began as Bradley gained momen­tum through his intellectual probity and erudite liberal agenda. Gore found himself outflanked unexpectedly on his left; instead of focusing on his upcoming Republican adversary, he retreated to face a prolonged challenge in his own party. Gore's strategy, in the archetypal Clintonian tradition, is demagoguery and evasiveness.

Donna Brazile, Gore's divisive and often crudely insulting campaign manager, identified in November the "four pillars" and "emerging constituen­cies" of the Democratic party as, among others, Mrican Americans, women, gays and lesbians and labor. And accord­ingly, Gore panders to all of them.

In a critique of Bradley's bold and

expensive health care plan, Gore claimed that an included proposal to replace Medicaid with tax credits would be especially detrimental to African Americans. This plan, argued Gore, will "put millions of America's most vulnerable at risk." Painting Bradley, a former NBA basketball star that regularly touts his glowing record on race relations, as egregiously insensitive and even callous toward blacks seems nasty and unfair. The former New Jersey senator, who has repeatedly condemned negative campaigning as counterproductive and basically effete, bristled at the vice president's comments, saying in a oebate that Gore's misrepresentation was "particularly offensive."

In a later debate with Bradley, Gore chose to pander to the homosexual community, another key Democratic constituency. In response to a very specific question about gays in the military and whom Gore would nominate to the Joint Chiefs of Staff if he is elected, Gore had this to say: "I would insist, before appointing any­body to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that that individual support my policy (on gays in the military). And, yes, I would make that a requirement." Essentially, Gore would make it a litmus test that any of his professional military advi­sors must support a policy that turns the military into a colossal social experiment. Apparently, there is no American institution that Gore will not exploit to his political advantage.

A media firestorm ensued, princi­pally from current and former military officers who saw such a position in an aspiring president as disastrous and deleterious to an American military that already suffers from a weakening of morale. Gore quickly backtracked, indulging in deliberate obscurantism: "I did not mean to imply that there

focusing on his upcoming Republican adversary, he retreated to face a

prolonged challenge in his own party.

should ever be any kind of inquiry into the personal political opinion of the officers in the U.S. military. That's not what I meant to convey. That's what you heard." Oh, of course ... the problem is in our hearing of the vice president's words, not the words themselves.

Gore also moved left on the issue of school choice, again trying to appear more liberal than Bradley, who lias stated publicly that he supports vouch­ers "experiments." The concept of school vouchers is fairly simple; families would receive either tax credits or a monetary "voucher" as a propor­tion of annual education expenditure for use toward private school tuition. Thus, a family might receive $2,500 per year as a tax credit to fund their child's education in private school. Gore has steadfastly ignored the fact that many minority parents support vouchers as a way to escape failing inner-city schools. NBC's Tim Russert, moderating a debate between the two Democratic candidates, made the acute observation that many minority families send their children to parochial (Catholic) schools in cities where vouchers do not exist because those schools tend to be cheaper than other private ones. If only others were given a little extra financial assistance, argued Russert, then more underprivileged kids could get a better education. Bradley concurred, saying that in most cases, school choice programs will help rather than hinder -as is the liberal dogma - minorities. But

Gore, fearful of alienating the teachers' unions - another Democratic strong­hold - and losing precious primary votes, dismissed the vouchers argument altogether, declaring that school choice would eviscerate the public school system.

Then just last week, the Gore cam­paign chose again to side with the racial polarizing elements in the Democratic Party. To an online media correspon­dent, Brazile once more showed her racial bias: "Republicans bring out Colin Powell andJ.C. Watts because they have no program, no policy. They play that game because they have no other game. They have no love and no joy. They'd rather take pictures with black children than feed them." Gore, not surprisingly, received angry letters from both Powell and Watts expressing their outrage at the implication that they were the token blacks in a party of racists. Gore's response to the fetters was an absolutely shameless piece of equivocation_ "I regret how the General (Powell) heard her words," the vice president said on NBC's Today; appar­ently the fault lies with Colin Powell for somehow misinterpreting Brazile's remarks.

Democrats, and Gore in particular, seem to think that dividing voters along racial lines represents a political expedi­ency. This kind of cynical opportunism presages a dangerous trend in a political system already wrought with public disfavor and apathy. All this ugliness speaks volumes about a party that claims to hold racial unity as one of its highest virtues. And all this left-wing positioning speaks volumes about Gore's nervousness in the face of Bradley's competitive and efficacious campaigning.

The stakes are high - so high that for one candidate at least, principle must be sacrificed for victory.

Racism exists in many different degrees John Rocker didn't deserve an attack by the media.

I n consequence of the litany of comments and actions made by Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker, a debate has heated up.

Being a die-hard Mets fan, this issue has captured my attention and caused me to reflect on some of the issues.

First I'd like to elucidate some of the definitional fallacies which obscure and

Erik Hovmiller

inhibit successful discussion of the issues of prejudice. It seems somewhat ironic and contradictory that we see racist attitudes in black and white; present-day descriptions of racist attitudes remain polarized. You're either racist or you're not. For simplicity's sake, we have a stereotype of racists as someone who thoroughly excludes minorities any chance he or she gets. We leave no room for varying degrees. In the case of john Rocker, he has been branded as a full-fledged racist by the media. As the recipient of sue~ a label it is easy to recognize the austenty of such an accusation and nearly imperative to rebuke the attack. Follow­ing a personal statement and interview, Rocker makes it clear that he believes he is not a racist. The Braves relief pitcher defends his position by saying how he has had ethnic minorities living in his house, evidence he says that he is

not a racist. But what we lose sight of is that there are many degrees of preju­dice and therefore cannot be a dichoto­mous attitude. Furthermore, while labels may be personally satisfying they are far from accurate when attempting to evaluate a person .

Roclcer has been ordered by the commissioner of baseball to receive a psychological assessment before a aecision is made regarding possible suspension from baseball. I don't know what Major League Baseball hopes to unearth- that he in fact is prejudicial? And then what? Rocker is not alone in his beliefs, although the voices of his fellows are often repressed and seem­ingly nonexistent. However, Rocker is alone when he chooses to announce his attitudes to a least trustworthy person, a magazine reporter. Obvi­ously, many athletes possess better judgment and keep their mouth shut when in the presence of reporters. In the company of family and friends, however, racially motivated and prejudicial comments can flow like water with no fear of reprimand or repro val. In the modem Western world, prejudice and racism, as we have seen with Rocker, lurk beneath the surface and rarely efface the cloak of political correctness. America continues to be racked by prejudice. Although the face and the name may have changed, it's still prejudice.

I find it quite inappropriate as to how the media has attacked Rocker as vehemently as they have. Granted, his words do have the ring of a white supremacist group member and ceitainly should not be overlooked. However, I cannot agree with how he has been transformed into public enemy No. 1, as journalist Jim Caple so aptly put it. I am certainly not trying

All we can ask of people is to learn from their errors. Whether we can ensure Rocker will learn from his mistakes,

however, remains to be seen.

to defend the southpaw but I also refuse to pin him up on a crucifix to purge ourselves. By attacking Rocker we essentially exorcise ourselves of responsibility and guilt for the gamut of prejudicial ideologies which we may hold. Through him we can criticize that which we deem reprehensible and absolve ourselves of our own transgres­sions. Sure we may feel better, but it is at the cost of another's degradation.

If baseball wishes to maintain any semblance of righteousness, Rocker should be punished in some form for his comments. The commissioner, Bud Selig, has the power to take action in response to any act considered to be not in the best interests of the game of baseball. First Amendment proponents chime in by protecting our right to free speech. Although a baseball player may have a constitutional right to talk politics, writes journalist Jimmy Golen, he has no constitutional right to be a baseball player.

Is any suspension or fine going to change Rocker? Probably not, but punishment from Selig puts forth the message that outright racist comments will not be tolerated from its players. So if disciplinary action is not going to alter his attitudes, can anything? A man of considerable bullheadedness and conviction will not easily forfeit his personal convictions. Changing per­sonal attitudes of any 25-year-old does not usually prove very successful. This

is especially so with someone whose philosophies are so engrained and which are embedded rather proudly into his demeanor.

So if we really want to help Rocker (which I also question), wouldn't he benefit from some form of reform school for athletes and role models (notably baseball players with excessive spitting habits)? Athletes like Rocker can be taught to recognize their privi­leges and responsibilities as a profes­sional athlete and behave accordingly.

Even with all his bigotry, Rocker is not pure impropriety however. In 1998 after a game at Yankee Stadium, he commented on the fans. "There were children around and they were yelling some of the most foul, vulgar things you can imagine." This does not sound like the mind of the Rocker we have be­come accustomed to in the past months. He clearly demonstrates a concern for appropriateness and recognizes the negative impact on our youth. But instead of serving as a role model for children and adults alike Rocker obliter­ates all standards of politeness. His actions on and off the field leave much to be desired. And this blatant contra­diction is his ultimate flaw. Sure he can apologize, and we may very well be inclined to believe him, but his hypoc­risy is glaring blindness in the light of possible forgiveness.

By ending this article, I make the suggestion that we support ends to give Rocker another chance. Humans are plagued by mistakes. All we can ask of people is to learn from their errors. Whether we can ensure Rocker will learn from his mistakes, however, remains to be seen. But I think we, as mistake-prone humans ourselves, owe everyone, including Rocker, that chance.

of Taylor. As if textbooks were not already unreasonably priced due to a completely captive audience, the bookstore has no problem increasing the prices oy a percent­age that competes with the school's revenue from parking tickets. (A sidenote: We have recently learned that there is an outside return slot at the library for those that risk parking tickets to return overdue books. Remem­ber, flashers only say: "Look at me, I'm illegally parked.") Back to the topic at hand, books are too expensive.

The bookstore is not the only responsible party regarding how much a student is required to sell their soul for their education. Professors also have a hand in this highway robbery. The first way they do this is by writing their own books or pamphlets, and requiring their students to read all of them. We realize that this is a great way to ensure the sale of their book, but why do you need to read their book and go to their lecture, couldn't they just tell us? Another way that the price of materials is raised is that every semester professors insist on the newest edition of a text. Is the new foreword really worth it? When these two methods fail, professors just resort back to ordering a truckload of books for one class. Every book on a subject seems to be required, even if this means assigning a book that the professor has not yet read. One should have a good idea that a text is worth reading before assigning it to 50 people.

Even if you manage to escape the bookstore with some change in your pocket and a way to haul your purchases to your dorm, you still might get to class and discover another surprise. The "coursepak," not to be confused a "snackpak," is a common enemy in today's classroom. It used to be somewhat welcomed, because it meant that as a special treat a professor was not making students purchase each individual book from which the essays come, but rather photocopying them himself. But, with new adherence to copyright laws, students can find themselves paying upwards of $50 for 30 copies, cleverly bound by tape.

Many students have spent time this semester attempting to avoid an astronomical bill for books. Various methods have been presented by posters, television and the Internet, only some of them involving Tom Green. Though always hesitant to believe any advertising that claims to have a better way to spend time or money, Steph saved $45 on four books by purchasing them online. Now that's a deal only comparable to infomercial pricing.

Basically, we are reiterating the fact that you can save money online, but how and if you buy your books really does not con­cern us that much. We just see it as an issue worth whining about. The return to school has shown that Y2K not only failed to change the menu in Benson or the Pit, but also had no effect whatsoever on the textbook system. In closing, we would like note that we are sure that none of Brooks' and Stephanie's professors engage in above listed behavior.

a..&.llo _tration breeds apathy The uncaring adrrllnistration frustrates students.

I came to this university, a wide-eyed and optimistic freshman, excited by m academic decision and by

the possibilities offered me by the four years ahead. I came with anxiety and sometimes uncertainty. I carne with hope and with newfound freedom.

Brandon Roxelle

But most of all, I came believ­ing what the university told me was true: It cared about me and about my success and future.

I'm not really sure when my perception of the university began to deviate from that of the one placed in me by the admissions literature. I don't remember a moment of revela­tion, in that regard.

What I do remember is that feeling of slight antagonism toward the university from the upperclassmen I knew.

Now, I know what you're thinking, and no, the company I kept was not that of radical extremists. My friends were not much different from myself. We were merely looking to enjoy ourselves, learn a little, live a lot, hurt no one and if possible, find what we came here looking for: ourselves.

That antagonism I mentioned wasn't something overt. It didn't always have a voice or a name. It simply existed in the way students used the word "administration" like some covert faction looking to quell student interests., .

As I became older, the notion became clearer. You see, time gives us perspective. And the perspective it gave me on how the administration sees and treats students was singular: students are children who cannot make responsible decisions for themselves.

This recognition happened so slowly and subtly to me that I didn't even realize the transi­tion until I really looked back at the person I was when I first arrived here.

There was no epiphany, simply minor incidents and encounters that Jed me to the general perception I hold now.

The admissions booklet I read when looking at this university gave me the sense of a small - but not too small­community, wherein faculty and administrators were but an

arm's-length away. HI had but a concern or

worry, I could reach out and find a shoulder on which to brace myself.

There have been several faculty members on this cam­pus that I have come to respect and love as true friends. There are even some whom I visit on a monthly if not weekly basis, even though they no longer teach me.

I have three professors who taught me the first semester of my freshman year who, when­ever they run into me on campus, stop and spend a few moments just catching up. After three years, they still remember my name.

However, there are members of the administration, whom I have met, spoken with and even eaten dinner with who could no more choose me out of a lineup than they could find a particular grain of sand on the beach. Needless to say, they do not remember my name.

This does not speak toward every member of the adminis­tration. There are those who still care about the students, who still live in an academic society for whom possibilities and ideals are still attainable.

Unfortunately, they are not in the majority.

They are outnumbered by those who listen to a higher calling, who answer to one and only one sovereign provider: the mighty dollar bill.

That is what I have learned all too well during my tenure here. I have seen policy en­forced, then changed.

I have been ushered into more football games than I care ot mention early because the University Police was ordered by the administration to clear the parking lots. I have watched as the social climate on our campus went from one of safety and relative freedom to one of forced secrecy and seclusion.

1 have seen .countless .num­bers of my peers move off­campus because on-campus social policies have become increasingly strict.

I have seen friends shuffled back on-campus because it somehow escaped the adminis­tration that their own social policy caused students to move off, resulting in problems with the homeowners association on Polo Road.

I myself had to apply to the university to live off-campus this year.

I have participated in tele­thons, sponsored by the univer­sity and conducted by students in which we shamelessly beg alumni for donations, even those who graduated only a semester ago.

I have seen friends punished for "violations" that anywhere else in the country a respon-

regard. What I do remember is that feeling of slight antagonism toward the university from the

sible 21-year-old would have the freedom to decide for him­self but not here.

And what is the admin­istration's response to the criticism that its policies are being indifferent to student rights? Nothing. Not a word. H any, that the university's status as a private institution pre­cludes them from answering to any such accusations.

What I'm trying to form for you, in brief, is a picture of how many students here perceive the administration.

This is the view of an average student, who has never been in trouble with the university or been subjected to specific sanctions for misdeeds.

What I have suffered from are the unilateral policies meant to, in the words of administra­tors, "protect student interests." The real problem, the bottom line, is that the administration neither asks for nor utilizes student opinion and input in policy decisions.

And here's the real kicker: that process promotes a general culture of apathy an10ng students. When there is no one listening and no recourse for unfair practice, the absolute worst happens: we become used to being slapped in the face.

Now, I know you are all wondering what this has to do with academic freedom. These soiiiid mostiy like issues of social policy. But no doubt, some of you have already made the connection.

There is a power relationship between administrators and students as well as faculty and students. You are our elders. You command our respect and our attention. This is proper, and it is good.

What is not good is that the culture of apathy that has grown between the administra­tion and students doubtlessly flows between students and faculty. Especially when we are young here, just wetting our feet to the way oflife and culture of this place, the faculty and administration are some­times hard to distinguish between. It takes time to see the difference.

In that meantime, I believe

academic freedom is wounded by the policies and intentional distancing that many adminis- . trators practice. We believe our voices will not be heard and respected by any, because they are not heard or respected at the very top.

I love the university for many of the experiences and wonder­ful people that have filled my time here. And I will graduate with a bachelor's degree in English this spring. So, my reasons for writing this now are not personal.

Any change that might occur to improve these conditions will likely not happen while I am still here. But they must hap­pen. It saddens me to look at all the friends I have lost during these three years because they found in other institutions what this university lacks.

I myself have often wondered why I did not go to UNC­Chapel Hill, my second choice, where for one-eighth of the cost, I could have attained just as reputable a degree while probably studying far less and having a lot more fun.

I don't regret my decision. I regret the decisions of those who are choosing policies that are damaging this institution. If they think they are not doing damage, they are wrong.

I would venture to say alumni support for the classes I have known and attended school with will be far down from years past. Personally, I will not give one penny to the univer­sity until it begins to listen to its faculty and students.

I make this small protest, in my own way, hoping for a better future for an who pass through these halls.

In closing, I would like you to remember a few important ideas. The culture of apathy does affect academic freedom.

Students are intimidated by those above us in status and power who make it very clear they don't care for our opin­ions. We are less likely to . demonstrate our opinion because of that fear.

I know many seniors, like myself, who have wanted to take a stand on various issues, yet know that the university can find methods to retaliate. It has happened before. This is perhaps the last chance many of us Will ever have to live in the ideal.

Next year, my class and I will venture out, and many of us will be forced to take a realist approach to our lives. But that is next year. Allowing the administration to stifle freedom of expression and opinion affects every aspect of our social and academic lives. It spares no field. I hope steps can be taken to bring a positive change. The future of this university depends on it.

way. Both of these states espouse the ideals of the long­dead Confederacy and are flying the Confederate flag above their Capitol, as in the case with South Carolina, or completely changed their state flag to incorporate the Confed­erate one, as with Georgia.

Many Southerners express the sentiments of jason Silvey, a Kappa Alpha fraternity mem­ber from Atlanta: "I do not condone slavery, I do not condone racism, but I do believe our Southern forefa­thers fought for what they thought was right, and the Confederate flag, to me, stands for my Southern heritage."

But these "symbols of South­em heritage" were erected with the intention of condoning both racism and slavery. In 1962 the South Carolina state legislature decided that to celebrate the centennial of the creation of the Confederate States of America they would raise the Confeder­ate flag above the state Capitol. In 1956, Georgia changed its state flag to the current Confed­erate monstrosity seen today.

Interestingly enough, all of these changes happened during the height of the civil rights movement. In 1954, the Su­preme Court handed down the landmark Brown v. KaTISas Board of Education.

Three years later, Congress would pass the 1957 Voting Rights Act which made it a federal crime for anyone to interfere with a citizen's right to vote. All of this culminated in the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibited discrimi­nation based on color and provided for special federal agents to monitor elections.

The biggest proponent of the Confederate flag is the Heritage Preservation Association. According to the association, the raising of the flags in the '50s and '60s was part of a "Civil War Centennial." This event would include many states and last several years.

I believe that the South uses the Confederate flag as a

reminderi a reminder to blacks that Southern whites don't like

their newfound status and a reminder to the government of one of the reasons for the Civil

War- infringement upon states' rights.

Then why the continued waving qf iq.~ flag mor\! than 40 years after the centennial celebrations?

No advocate of the Confeder­ate flag can accurately answer that question because the facts are plain to see - the civil rights movement was something which many Southerners felt (and still do feel) attacked their way of life.

I believe that the South uses the Confederate flag as a reminder; a reminder to blacks that Southern whites don't like their newfound status and a reminder to the government of one of the reasons for the Civil War - infringement upon states' rights.

What South Carolina and Georgia and several other Southern states are doing by displaying the flag is tanta­mount to treason against the citizens of the state and treason against the United States.

It's treason against the citizens of state because the Confederate flag is a symbol of division - the division between North and South and the division between black and white. A flag is supposed to be a rallying point. A symbol to promote unity. lust the fact that this particular flag offends the black citizens is justification enough for considering its change.

But let's be reasonable. Most white people don't understand how the Confederate flag makes black people feel. By flying that flag the state govern­ments of South Carolina and Georgia are saying that their black citizens don't matter.

Besides the social connota­tions, the Confederate flag also brings with it political questions about the patriotism of the South.

Let's not forgot this was a war in which people took up arms against the U.S. government. To fly that flag over in the Union is a smack to all of the brave men of the U.S. Army who sacrificed their lives in order to save the Union.

Is the "Southern heritage" that Jason Silvey so loves a heritage that breeds racial discontent and anti-patriotic activities? If so, then this prominent symbol of "Southern 1 heritage" should be taken down.

Deacs By Paul Gaeta Senior Reporter

AnACCmen's basketball game between Maryland and the De­mon Deacons was supposed to be played last night at Cole Field House in College Park, Md.

There was just one problem though- only one team bothered showing up for the contest, and it wasn't the Deacons.

Yes, some players who re­sembled our beloved Deacs chased a Terrapin team around the court for 40 minutes. These guys, however, looked more like a high school team than a squad picked by many to fmish in the top four in the ACC at the begin­ning of the season.

The Deacons, behind an ugly, sloppy and uninspired perfor­mance from the whole team, were crushed by No. 24ranked Mary­land 73-51, sending them to their second straight conference road loss.

overall, 1-3 irl the ACC. The pre-game story pitted two

struggling ACC teams desperately trying to rebound from slow starts in the conference.

That meant it was a huge game for both teams. Unfortunately, with the stakes riding high, the Deacs failed to recognize the im­portance of the game, and Mary­land took advantage of it, break­ing its three-game ACC losing streak. In fact, the opening play typified pretty much what the rest a( the game would be like for the Deacons.

Off the openirlg tip, Maryland grabbed the ball, lofted a beauti­ful pass to a streaking Lonny Baxter, who slammed a thunder­ous dunk for a 2-0 lead within the game's flrst 10 seconds.

OLD GOLD AND BLACK Thursday, January 20, 2000

The Deacons, behind an ugly, sloppy and uninspired

performance from the whole team, were crushed by No. 24

ranked Maryland 73-51, sending them to their second straight

conference road loss.

And as the Baxter-led Mary­land team seemed to be doing everything right, the Deacs seemed to be doirlg everything wrong. Eleven Demon Deacon turnovers irl the first half led to 15 Maryland points. And when the Deacs weren't coughing up the ball, their offense proved to be as cold as the Winston-Salem weather of late - the Deacs shot just 33 percent from the field irl the first half.

A dunk by sophomore Niki Arinze with just under seven min­utes left in the first half cut the Maryland lead to 29-14 and sparked a 7-2 ruin that cut the deficit to 10, 31-21.

Any momentum that the Dea­cons gathered at the end of the first half was quickly lost in the second.

Turnover after turnover (the Deacs committed 20 in the game) killed the team, and with just over five minutes elapsed irl the final period, Maryland had stretched its lead to 46-29.

Sophomore Darius Songailaled the Deacs with 14 points and nine rebounds irl 28 minutes of play.

But on this night, the ugliness of the final-game statistics told the whole story.

The Deacs shot just 29 percent from the field. Five players com­mitted two or more turnovers.

The loss moved the Deacs record to 11-6 overall, 2-3 in the ACC with sixth-ranked Duke headed to Winston-Salem Jan. 22.

Maryland improved to 12-5

That, however, just got the ball moving for the Terps, as they raced out to a game-opening 24-4 run. Baxter seemed to be a hu­man highlight reel for Maryland in the midst of the run, scoring 12 poirlts in the opening minutes. He went on to shoot 7-of-8 from the field in the first half as he had 18 points in 21 minutes for the Terra­pins.

The game had strikingly similar characteristics to last year's con­test between Maryland and the Deacs at Cole Field House. In that game, the Steve Francis-led Terrapins raced out to an early 32-10 first-half lead before going on to rout the Deacons 92-69.

And for the second straight game, junior guard Robert O'Kelley's offensive firepower was hosed down by a defense that concentrated for 40 minutes on stopping him. He finished with just four points, nine short of his season average.

The women's basketball team dropped two con­ference games recendy against Duke and Maryland but earned a huge vvin against the UNC Tar Heels.

Onjan. 19, the Deacs hosted the Maryland Ter­rapins at ~TVM Coliseum. Head Coach Charlene Curtis predicted that the game would be a battle, but the Terps came in ready to fight and ended up with a 73-61 win in the contest. This loss dropped the Deacs' overall record to 6-11 and 2-4 irl the ACC. While Maryland jumped out to a 8-0 lead, the Deacons missed their first seven shots of the game. The Deacons then took the lead with a 12-3 run but the Terps were able to come back, taking a 37-23 lead at halftime.

Junior Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick led the Deacs with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and sophomore LaChina Robinson added 14 poirlts. The Terps scored nearly half their points from the free throw line, converting 33 of 47 foul shots. The Deacs out­rebounded the Terrapins 49-39, but the Deacs also committed 20 turnovers and shot only 35 percent from the floor.

On fan. 16, in front of a record-breaking Deacon crowd of 4,031, both the No. 15 Tar Heels and the Demon Deacons entered LJVM Coliseum in hopes of ending their respective losing streaks. Ever since the Heels' second leading scorer, Nikki Teasley, took an indefmite leave of absence from the team, the Tar Heels have lost five straight games. The Deacons on the other hand were coming off a three­game losing streak of their own with losses to Georgia Tech, Coastal Carolina and most recently, Duke.

When the NCAA selection committee irlvited ouly three ACC teams to the Big Dance last year, more than a few feathers were ruffled around the

~PRESS ~BOX

league. A conference that had grown accustomed to domi­nance on the national scene throughout the '90s, the ACC was generally considered the best of the best during most

of the decade. The league had also gotten used to the idea of routinely sendirlg four or five teams to the postseason (and by that I don't mean NIT).

Unfortunately for the league and especially the Demon Deacons, all good things must come to an end, and for the last two seasons the committee has chosen to overlook the ACC's bubble teams, of which the Deacs were one both times. While there was a Jot of arguing at the time as to whether the teams left off the list should have been in­cluded, one thing is certain: given the perfor­mances of the conference's teams this year the league should start getting used to the idea of having a diminished presence.

The Deacs never trailed in the game, jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the game's first 2:49 and leading by as many as 13 points in the first half. Carolina trailed 29-22 at halftime but used a man-to-man pressure defense to hold the Deacons scoreless in the first 5:04 of the second half. Although the Deacs com­mitted seven turnovers in that stretch, the Tar Heels

Like in all things, college basketball has gone through stages and cycles where teams and con­ferences have risen and fallen from greatness. In the beginning there were the years dominated by Coach Wooden's UCLA dynasty irl the west irl what became the Pac-10. More recently the "beasts of the east" and the Big 1 0 powers routinely vied for the national championship. Kentucky built a stellar reputation of its own early on as well and was able to keep up the trend going when they joined the SEC. Lately, these same four confer­ences have been reasserting themselves and the ACC has taken a hit in the rankings consequently.

Senior guard Alisha Mosley gave a stellar performance in front of a school-record 4,031 fans that turned out to "Jam Joel" Jan. 16. The result: the Deacons' first victory over a ranked opponent since 1996. Mosley tallied a career-high 24 points in her first start of the season, including an excellent 11 of 13 from the free throw line, leading the Demon Deacons to victory over 15th-ranked North Carolina.

Wolfpack trumps Deacs by 20 By Paul Gaeta Senior Reporter

Anthony Grundy made sure the Demon Deacon men's basketball team didn't ride on cloud nine any longer than it had to.

On Aug. 28, 1963, the Rev. Martin Luther KingJr. was the keynote speaker for the march on W ashirigton, which many his· torians believe to be one of the most important moments in America history.

King's "I have a Dream" speech galvanized support across the nation for the civil rights movement and lead to legislation that helped African Americans gain equal rights in America.

In celebration of King's birth· day, the Office of Campus Rec­reation hosted the Martin Luther Invitational Basketball Tourna­ment Jan. 15.

The tournament featured teams from this university, N.C. State, UN C-Greensboro, North Carolina A&T, North Carolina Central and Winston-Salem State.

Freshman Raeneeva Banks, a member of the committee that planned the King Celebration, said the goal of the tournament was to bring people together and become better educated about King.

"Our goal was to get a very diverse audience to promote the university community and edu­cate everyone about (King's) goals and dreams," she said.

In the men's field, four De­mon Deacon teams competed in the tournament.

Representing the university were Intramural A champion­ship runner-up Hey Wrangor,

Pure Playaz, a team consisting mainly of football players, Sexual Chocolate, and another team made up of football play­ers rounded out the four teams from this university.

Her Wrangor, led by junior guard Gary Dkysterhouse, opened u:e the tournament by defeating UNC-Greensboro in the first round.

Pure playaz also won their opening round game, defeating North Carolina Central.

Wrangor's dream of bringing home the championship came to an end in the second round as they ran into the Rams of Win­ston-Salem State.

State dominated all phases of the game, clamping down on Dyksterhouse, and posting a 23· point victory over Hey Wrangor. Pure Playaz won their second­round game, which set up a championship match-up with Winston-Salem State.

In the men's final Winston­Salem State defeated Pure Playaz 70-65.

The Rams jumped out to a huge first half margin and lead at halftime by a score of 45-26. Pure Playaz mounted a little bit of a comeback in the second half, but it was simply too little too late.

The game was marred by poor sportsmanship, as two support­ers of Pure Playaz were asked to leave the gym.

Dkysterhouse of Hey Wrangor and junior Jimmy Caldwell of Pure Playaz were named to the all-tournament team.

AfterbeginningtheACCsea­son with two close losses to Duke and N.C. State, Virginia men's basketball Coach Pete Gillen said his team just did not yet know how to win.

But after their 87-85 victory against North CarolinaJan.13, the Cavaliers seem to have learned more about winning.

Virginia (12-5, 3-2 ACC) started the game off slowly, fall­ing behind at 10-2 after only two minutes of play. At half­time, Virginia guard Donald Hand had no points for the first time this year.

"Donald was not shooting good shots," Gillen said. "He was shooting contested threes. We were talking before the game. Last game, we shot 38 threes, a school record. We didn't want to do that."

Center Brendan Haywood had 12 points and five rebounds to lead the way for the No. 21

Tar Heels (11-7, 2-2) and the Cavs did not seem to have a solution for his second-chance dunks.

CarolinaguardJoseph Forte also chipped in with 12 points, five assists and five rebounds at the break. However, the ma­jority of the second half be­longed to the Cavaliers. It started with the Heels up 43-38 and holding the lead for over six minutes. From there, it was all Virginia

With guard Majestic Mapp covering Carolina counterpart Ed Cota and Roger Mason pressing his former high school rival Forte, things were looking up for Virginia, leading Gillen to leave Mason and Mapp in the game instead of giving Adam Hall more minutes.

"Roger was shutting down Forte," Gillen said. "Majestic was one of our better players ... He was guarding Cota, which I love. Adamdeservedmoremin­utes, but we could only have five guys out there."

"We tried to be as physical as we could with (Haywood), lean on him." Gillen said. "I think he got tired with the pace of the game, frankly. We want to do that-makehimrun.At 7-foot-1, 275 pounds, whatever he is, it's tough to run like that."

For the Cavaliers, Williams led the scoring effort with 24 points, and Travis Watson chipped in 17.

Hand, who did not score until 7: 13 in the second half, fin­ished the game with 12 points, including a crucial three-point play with 42.2 seconds left when Virginia was clinging to an 81-80 lead.

The game also marked Gillen's 300th career victory as a collegiate coach, and the first time this season that Vir­ginia has knocked off a top 25 opponent.

than anything else. Even most fans wilf realize that. Since both UNC and Duke have nearly auto­matic locks on dance tickets every year (and yes, UNC will get its bid despite its poor performance to date), that makes a four-way race to fill the remaining two spots between N.C. State, Maryland, Virginia and the Deacs. For the Deacons to have a chance at the post season they'll have to pull off some more upsets along the way. . Just like the Demon Deacons' victorious run-in with UNC, the Deacs' Jan. 22 contest with Duke is another perfect opportunity to show the selection committee that we deserve a bid rather than cruis­ing to an average season and hav­ing to sit around and wait for the announcements to be made.

'Loveline' cancels date with Wait Chapel

Parkening, Sykes to perform in Brendle

Staff Report

Because of scheduling problems, Stu­dent Union was forced to cancel Drew Pinsky and Adam Carolla's Feb. 11 visit to campus for Loveline, MTV's sexual advice forum.

The conflict occurred because Carolla, the program's funnyman, has to tape an episode of The Man Show on the same evening. The announcement was made four hours before tickets were to have gone on sale Jan. 13.

Although problems like this arise quite often in the entertainment industry, a statement issued by Student Union ex­pressed the organization's utmost disap­pointment that this particular cancella­tion occurred after a contract to appear was signed by Carella.

Eleanor Trainor, a representative for Carolla, sent SU a letter of apology on the comedian's behalf.

"Mr. Carolla is aware of the disap­pointment this may cause to the Univer­sity community, especially given the amount of work the (Student) Union Board has dedicated to the event, and sends his apologies," Trainor said.

The two musicians will delve into the classic work ofBrazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, and also arid perform two pieces by Argentinean composers, a Cu­ban lullaby by Leo Brouwer and two American spiritual pieces.

Parkening's virtuosic guitar work has elevated him to international fame and recognition, causing the musician to be widely regarded as heir to the technical mastery of the late Andres Segovia.

In his distinguished career, Parkening has performed at the White House, shared the stage at Lincoln Center with Placido Domingo and played at the Grammy Awards twice. _ He has also been a guest soloist with numerous American orchestras, includ­ing the National Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Band, em raiiV togedler to help Rainbow News & Cal

By Theresa Felder Editor In Cltief

Competition with corporate booksellers forced the Rainbow News & Cafe's bookstore to close its doors, but this downtown restaurant is determined to stay open.

The Rainbow, at 712 Brookstown Ave., is trying to raise money for renovations and to cover some back costs, owner John Marshall said, and the restaurant has found help from several places. Some of the kitchen staff who Iiave other jobs volunteered to work without pay last week, manager Brie Presnell said, and the wait staff would have done the same, but the restaurant is required by law to pay them. "The staff has volunteered to do things beyond the call of duty," Marshall said.

And the Emma Gibbs Band, three of whose members play at the Rainbow most Tuesday nights as the band Three Easy Pieces, is playing a benefit concertJan. 23. The band will provide music for Rainbow patrons from 9 p.m. to midnight at the restaurant. No food will be served, but the bar will be open and all drinks will be on special, especially draft beer, Marshall said.

Admission is $5, and all money raised will go back to the restaurant - including tips, which the staff offered to donate, Marshall said. The Emma Gibbs Band's concert won't be the same one the band is j)layingjan. 21 atZiggy's, Will Strong of the Emma Gibbs Band said. The music at the Rainbow will include more bluegrass in the mix offolk, rock and acoustic tunes, he said.

The Rainbow is one of few locally owned inde­pendent restaurants in the area, a.11d its staff wants to continue to provide an alternative to chain restau­rants.

Business increased a great deal last week, espe­cially as students retul}led from winter break, Marshall said, and he hopes that the concert will help further.

"It's all going to go to keeping us going, and I am extremely appreciative," he said.

Strong said the concert is a way to repay someone who has done much for him. 'john has been real supportive of our music," said Strong, who worked at the restaurant for almost three years.

And Presnell, who has worked at the Rainbow for about three years, said the staff- whose relation­ship, Marshall said, is more like among family members than between employees and employer-

feels the same way. "(Marshall) is the main reason that we all wanted to keep it open," she said.

Because its building requires continual renova­tions, the Rainbow applied for a $100,000 loan from the Downtown Association, which offers such loans for _res.taurants on Fourth Street in an attempt to reVItaliZe downtown. The request was denied, how­ever, because the Rainbow is not on Fourth Street, Presnell said.

The Rainbow News & Cafe has existed in some form since 1979, when it opened as a newsstand -the first daily supplier of The New York Times to Winston-Salem, Marshall said.

The cafe was added about 14 years later, and owner Bob Wells eventually closed the bookstore when competition from large chain bookstores be­carne too great.

The Rainbow has many regular customers, and Presnell hopes that the positive changes to the area will help them attract more. There had been prob­lems with homeless people loitering in the parking lot, but trespassing citations were issued against some of them, she said. And the restaurant has worked to improve its service, she said.

The Rainbow News & Cafe is open 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to2:30p.m.and5to 10p.m. Friday; lOa.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

Marshall is confident that with the help of the staff and the patrons, the Rainbow will be able to con­tinue offering good food and entertainment. ""We're going to make it," he said.

Pfawed Jifm has knockout actintJ By Brent McConkey

Old Go!tl and Black Reviewer

Remember that one kid grow­ing up whom for some mysteri­ous reason seemed to have pegged you as his or heridol? The Hurricane describes that person.

This film, which tells the in­credible life story of former middleweight prizefighter Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, has a num­ber of things going for it. First is the tale itself, which seems per­fectly scripted for the big screen (and perhaps a bit too perfect, as I'll get to later). Carter used box­ing as a means of fighting the forces of racisin and hate plagu­ing him throughout his youth in the 1950s and '60s. When these forces conspired, however, in the New Jersey court system by wrongly convicting and sentenc­ing an innocent Carter to life imprisonment for the murders of three white people, it appeared they had finally landed theknock­outpunch. TheHurricanetells the amazing story of a young black man and his three Canadian in­structors who befriend Carter from his cell after reading his autobiography and show him that through love, hope and perse­verance, even the greatest of in­justices can be undone.

The most notable aspect of this film is the remarkable perfor­mance of Denzel Washington as Rubin Carter. When Washing­ton is on top of his game, as he is throughout this film, I would hesi­tate_ to name another actor who possesses the same ability to sim­ply command the screen.

Combining the talent of Kevin Spacey, the looks ofT om Cruise and the intensity of Samuel L. Jackson, Washington ignites this film with equal measures of laid­back poise and electrifying feroc­ity often colliding to create an extraordinarily dynamic charac­ter. So many moments occur

throughout this film exemplify­ing Washington's talent that I almost hate to single one out, but his performance in a scene taking place during a prison visit from his lawyers, is explosive and powerful, yet at the same time desperate and heart-break-

. ing, is almost worthy of an Acad­emy Award in itself.

Unfortunately, the film itself possesses too many problems to match the genius of Denzel Washington. The first hour plays almost like a well-polished" Af­ter-school Special," especially when Washington is not, on screen. When the young boy, Lesra, played without much charm by Vicellous Reon Shan­non, goes reluctantly into a used­book sale with one of his three personality-lacking Canadian mentors, I almost expected the "School House Rock" theme song to erupt and a bouncing -cartoon character to encourage him that "reading is cool."

The picture does pick up sub­stantially in the second hour, as Lesraand Rubin begin their writ­ten correspondence, and the weak opening is overcome by the forming of a touching rela­tionship between the two. The bond occurring between them, paralleling that of father and son, and teacher and student, sets the stage beautifully for Carter's re­demption. The courtroom 'se­quence ending the film, how­ever, which is capably done and features a small, brilliant perfor­mance by Rod Steiger as the federal judge, feels like a cheap, easy end to the genuine emotion that had been built by this strm\g second act.

Another aspect of The Hurri­cane bothering me somewhat is the apparent liberty the film took with the actual history of the case. Director NormanJewison and screenwriters Armyan Bernstein and Dan Gordon have

Denzel Washington's perfor­mance may be the redeeming element of The Hurricane.

essentially invented a character in the film, Detective Vincent Della Pesca of the Patterson, N J. police department, who orches­trates the conspiracy to bring down Carter. In reality the case involved a ~uch more compli­cated, though still wrong-minded, series of events leading to his arrest and conviction.

The filmmakers, however, have created a character, played with pure snarling guile by Dan Hedaya, who is the most one­dimensionally racist, wicked fig­ure in recent film memory. By simplifying the plot in this man­ner, the film again cheapens the story, taking much of the power away from the facts themselves.

Overall, I should emphasize that this is not a bad film and that the performance ofDenzel Wash­ington is reason enough to pay the cost of admission. What sad­dens me is that the filmmakers had a near perfect story to tell, but their insistence on making it simpler ultimately cripples the film. It wants so hard to push all the right buttons and win your affection, but in the end, its effort is simply too much.

'Nightingale's Song' examines Vietnam War through war heroes

By Paul Cella ill Old Gold and Black Reviewer

Former National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger once said that the Vietnam War was the impetus for the greatest rift in American culture

since the Civil War. Much has been written

about the United States' role in Vietnam, and per­sonal feelings aside, it is generally regarded as one of the critical events of the second half of the 20th century.

Mainstream journalism and historical analysis usually conclude that the entire war effort hinged on a series of terrible mistakes and often advance the tendentious asser­tion that all of the war's participants dishonored themselves by their very involvement.

Robert Tim berg, in his contemporary classic The Nightingale's Song, paints Vietnam with a different brush.

A Naval Academy graduate and Marine veteran of the war himself, Timberg relies also on his 25 years of journalistic experience to chronicle the lives of five fellow Annapolis graduates who rose to power in the decade following the war.

Four of these men -John McCain, Bud McFarlane, Jim Webb and Oliver North- who later came into national prominence, were direct combatants in Vietnam.

And all- includingTimberg's fifth subject,John Poindexter- shared the searing and unforgettable experiences of the war and its aftermath, as the schism within a generation between those who fought and those who refused to nearly tore the nation asunder.

Timberg's work is unusual and impressive be­cause it takes the perspective of the professional soldier, the junior officers whose leadership is absolutely crucial in infantry warfare.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy of war is the toll it takes on these men, the natural leaders, and thus the toll it takes on a generation of youth.

All ofTimberg's primaries, often in similar ways, but just as often in distinctly individual ways, reflect the irresistible qualities that mark true lead­ers- intelligence, style, charisma and sheer physi­cal courage.

Yet the legacy ofVietnam stained their service to America with disgrace and their personal contri­butions have been ignored.

Most controversial, yet most cogent, is Timberg's insight into the anti-war culture of the 1960s liberal movement Though he acknowledges it as at least fundamentally admirable, he harshly condemns the vulgar popularization of the "collflterculture," especially as it was manifest in correlating irre­sponsibility and weakness.

For many draft-dodgers, and particularly the political leaders who drove them, there was little of the widely heralded ideological pacifism, the pris­tine "give peace a chance" conviction.

Rather, these opportunists, indoctrinated by a culture of narcissism, often used the anti-war move­ment as a vehicle to mask unqualified cowardice.

A majority of the 1960s youth, using a variety of legal and iUegal means to avoid military service, institutionalized a systematic and subtle, but ut­terly profound and far-reaching corruption of the values and tenets that had made America strong, while the heroes of that generation fought and bled in Southeast Asia.

Timberg's exquisite and assiduous research and shimmering intellect guide the reader through this haunting and tender tale of courage, tragedy, dig­nity and above all humanity.

At times he seems the fierce ideologue, bitter at those who betrayed and abandoned him and his fellow servicemen.

Other times, he is conservatism's gentle but forceful critic; his understated disaffection focused principally on Ronald Reagan, whose patriotic song drew in believers then shattered them with betrayal.

Timberg develops a penetrating analysis of the Iran-Contra affair, as three of his primaries were thoroughly embroiled in the scandal.

The examination is yet another example of Timberg's journalistic talent and his masterful grasp of the subject matter.

While The Nightingale's Song is specifically rel­evant today in its biographical prominence of McCain, the analysis of each of the primaries is insightful and at times inspiring, and taken as a whole, it stands in acute opposition to the doctri­naire and pervasive attitudes of America's histori­cal establishment about Vietnam.

The men who fought and died there were not fascists or baby-killers, save in the most terrible and sensationalized exceptions.

They were men who took their duty to this country, and all the freedom and opportunity it affords, and their duty to those who served before them, very seriously. Their sacrifice should never be forgotten.

Anderson connects stories with pain in 'Magnolia' The film examines the lives of nine people and their reactions to turmoil.

By Susannah Rosenblatt Old Gold and Black Reviewer

Most Americans go to the mov­ies to be entertained, prepared for little more than passive watching and listening. W aming: Boogie Nights director Paul Thomas Anderson's masterpiece Magnolia forces you to think and feel.

Magnolia, named for a San Fernando Valley street, is set in the moral morass of Los Angeles. The labyrinthine plot snakes through the lives of a cadre of dysfunctional characters. Magnolia's principals range from a washed-up child game show champion (William H. Macy), to a misogynistic motivational speaker for "Seduce and Destroy" (Tom Cruise in a stellar perfor­mance).

The common element among these seemingly unrelated person­alities is pain. Each bears awful personal tragedy; child abuse, adultery and abandonment are merely a few of the psychological traumas Magnolia presents.

Fractured familial relationships are at Magnolia's core, each rela­tionship with its own parallel. Ja­son Robards and Philip Baker Hall

both play ter­minally ill de­plorable fa­thers; Macy and Jeremy Blackman both play pitifully exploited sons. The outstand­ing cast deliv­ers shining per­formances all around; Philip Seymour Hoffman's ten­

The movie's brilliance lies in its storytelling. Cleverly framing the central story are odd vignettes on coincidences; these lend the film a mythical air and help set a mood of playful absurdity.

Anderson initially bombards the audience with a series of colorful and seemingly random images. These divergent plot threads gradually intertwine into an ex­quisite composite.

Magnolia assumes epic propor­tions as Anderson injects a liter­ary quality into the film, with par­allel characters and unifying themes.

Anderson's recurring motifs of forgiveness and love and the in­nocence of childhood add coher­ence and meaning to the inter­connected stories. Magnolia even

squeezes in biblical allusion, draw­ing from the book of Exodus in a big way.

Although this complexity ren­ders Magnolia a rich movie, at times it stumbles as a result. Anderson's ambitious film bor­ders on excess: excessive plot lines, excessive profanity and ex­cessive use of the soundtrack. Too many stories crowd one another, interrupting the flow of the film and creating dead ends.

But this is small potatoes con­sidering Magnolia as whole: a thoughtful, compassionate piece of cinema.

Undoubtedly, Magnolia will im­prove with repeat viewings, as subtle details abound in a movie with a message of redemption at its center.

Aimee Mann pens the sounds of despair for the Magnolia soundtrack.

By Tamara Dunn Assistant A&E Editor

In nine tracks, singer/ songwriter Aimee Mann tells us that our lives are miserable and hopeless and we are responsible for our mistakes. However, we cannot stop ourselves from lov­ing her anyway. Director Paul Thomas Anderson addresses this masochistic attraction to her music by penning his latest opus Magnolia.

The nine songs performed by Mann on the soundtrack served as character sketches and ideas for Anderson as he worked on his follow~up to Boogie Nights.

A direct example of a film imitating song would be the char­acter Claudia Wilson Gator and the track "Deathly." From the opening line, "Now that I've met you, would you object to never seeing each other again?" Mann's artistry of a person who is afraid ofbeing close to anyone molds Anderson's Claudia. The fear of being changed and of having someone to sand the edges is equivalent to suicide in this song, and Claudia battles these feelings in the film.

Mann's ability to set the thoughts of insecu­rity into song is height­ened with eccentric choices of style. With songs ranging from adult alternative and jazz to radio-friendly pop, Mann tackles the questions of love and doubt we have in our mind but do not want to encounter.

The track "Momen­tum" uses an upbeat hom and guitar section with Mann's kinetic verses that invoke a sense ofjoviality. How­

The friendship between Paul Thomas Anderson and Aimee Mann can be de· scribed as an artist and his muse.

ever, an uneasy feeling accompanies the song as the lyr­ics detail a person who cannot confront the possibility that the future can repeat the past if he or she does not make changes now.

Magnolia contains "wake-up" songs that demand a change from the low life. In "Wise Up," the cessation of internal pain does not come from a bottle or from running away but from the rec­ognition of self-blame. The song is also featured in the movie in an ensemble karaoke session with each character singing a verse from it. "You Do" also directs one away from seeking fullness by engaging in empty relation­ships and shifts toward self-real­ization.

The most powerful track on the album that Mann performs is "Save Me." It presents the di­lemma of opening the door to optimism while hanging onto despair. Mann presents the fact that we torture ourselves in an endless cycle of burden that we must be rescued in order to find comfort in someone else.

The rest of the soundtrack in­clude three oddly placed tracks from Supertramp and Gabrielle to even out Mann's emotional purging. The album is not a de­vice to depress listeners about their lives, but it serves as a sou­venir of how the film characters ' have ruined themselves and must reshape.
