Simmonshopes to raise$1 billionduring 10-yearpresidencyBY CARLA BLUMENKRANZPresident Ruth Simmons broadly laid out plans for anambitious presidency, encompassing a capital campaignto raise about $1 billion and the development of new,interdisciplinary graduate programs, in a recent interviewwith The Herald.

Simmons’ plans were first reported by a Korean news-paper, the Chosun Ilbo, following her October acceptanceof an honorary doctorate from Ewha Women’s Universityin South Korea.

She plans to hold the University presidency for about10 years because “that would be enough time to accom-plish some of the things that need to be done,” she said.

Simmons’ predecessor, Gordon Gee, served from 1998to 2000 and holds the record for the shortest Brown pres-idency. The longest-serving University president wasFrancis Wayland, who held office from 1827 to 1855.

During those 10 years, Simmons plans to spearhead amajor capital campaign, which is currently in the plan-ning stages. Though she said the University probably willnot set a target for the campaign for at least another year,Simmons expects to raise about $1 billion, as reported bythe Korean press.

“In the last five years, most university campaigns havebeen in the billion-dollar range,” she said. “So I think it’s asafe assumption that Brown’s campaign will be in thatrange.”

600 high schoolstudents join BrownModel U.N. for mockconferenceBY CASSIE RAMIREZOver 600 high school students from across the UnitedStates became international diplomats and statesmenthis weekend as part of a three-day mock conferencesponsored by Brown Model United Nations.

Students participated in one of 15 committees, eachchaired by a Brown Model U.N. member with experiencein that area. Committees included NATO, the WorldHealth Organization, the International Monetary Fundand the U.N. Security Council.

In one simulation, student delegates to NATO werefaced with Chechen rebels who took an internationalschool hostage in Russia. Delegates voted on amend-ments, submitted proposals, held caucuses and weremonitored by two chairmen.

“The chairmen were amazing,” said Nadan Sehic, ahigh school sophomore from Kingston, Pa. “They werevery educated.” Sehic represented Russia in the NATOsimulation.

“Compared to the other conferences I’ve been to,Brown’s was definitely the best,” Sehic said.

“It’s been really fun,” said Sarah Isquick, a high schooljunior from Beechwood, Ohio. “You get to meet a lot of dif-

Focus on leadership, Alcoa Chief Belda tells students

BY JUAN NUÑEZAlain Belda, CEO of Alcoa, the world’s largest U.S.-ownedcompany, discussed the importance of strong leadershipin the contemporary world at the keynote address for theInternational Scholarship Week Saturday in Solomon 001.

Belda, a Brazilian national, heads the 110-year-old, $23billion-a-year organization, which is a component of theDow Jones Industrial Average.

“People like me are waiting for people like you — thenext wave of leaders,” he said.

Belda said three things are necessary to keep a compa-ny together: vision, underlying principles and leadership.He frequently supported his conclusions with anecdotalevidence, and he used his own experience to illustrate hisbeliefs.

“Vision is what gets everyone together,” he said. Headded that in Alcoa’s case, the purpose is to be the bestcompany in the world, guided by a quest for excellenceand profitability.

“Underlying principles is a system that aims for perfec-tion,” he said. In Alcoa’s case, Belda mentioned the impor-tance of maximum output at lowest cost.

Belda discussed the convergence of these two factorsas a catalyst for creating a successful company.

“What makes a company is people who give theirhearts and brains to their work,” he said.

When speaking of leadership, Belda stressed the neces-sity of humility in a leader.

“Leadership is a concession given to you by your fol-lowers,” he said.

Belda added that a good leader is both driven by anaspiration to greatness and can help other people achievetheir own level of greatness.

Among the questions posed to Belda during the ques-

tion-and-answer session was his opinion of a leader’s rolein the teaching of values.

He replied that the only way to articulate values in asecular society was by living one’s values and serving as anexample for others to follow.

Belda said students must resist “the temptation of dis-persion,” given all the opportunities one is afforded at aninstitution such as Brown.

“Resist the temptation to spread yourself too thin,” hesaid.

Belda was also asked where he received guidance andwhich leaders he found inspirational.

He replied that “no one has the whole answer” and thatthe only way to measure a leader is by seeing how theyrespond to particular situations. Belda said GeneralElectric CEO Jack Welch had done a great job in overlook-ing the transition from a mature industrial company to afinancial institution.

“It’s like cooking — you can buy the recipe, but theresult will vary depending on who cooks it,” he said.

A leader, Belda said, acknowledges there is no suchthing as a new idea, only “combination(s) of two old ideasthat intersect at the right moment.”

A member of the predominantly international audi-ence asked Belda his opinion on “brain drain,” or theflight of the educated classes from their native, less-devel-oped countries to more developed ones.

Belda, who has been offered and has declined the posi-tion of Brazil’s secretary of state on various occasions, saidpeople must ask themselves how they can improve a situ-ation by being involved in it. He said he felt his commit-ments to his own company and his lack of qualificationsfor the secretary of state position would have preventedhim from doing the best job he could.

“Think of the best you can do for humanity and your-self,” he said. “Don’t forget where you came from, but alsobe aware that you have to live your own life.”

New photoalbumchronicles ayear in the lifeof Brown

Photographer William Mercercreated the first pictorial albumof Brown in over two decades,chronicling the course of oneacademic year. Mercer, who hasphotographed other schoolsincluding Connecticut College,Mount Holyoke College andWesleyan University, his almamater, was selected from a poolof photographers.The momentshe captured include choralsinging, above, an artist at workin her studio, left, and finalexams in Sayles Hall.The coffeetable book, comprised of 130images and titled "Brown:Images of the University," will hitbookstore shelves Nov. 18.

BY JEN SOPCHOCKCHAIThe first pictorial album of Brown created in over twodecades, “Brown: Images of the University,” will hit book-store shelves Nov. 18.

The coffee table book, comprised of 130 images takenby photographer William Mercer, follows the Universitythrough the seasons of one academic year, starting withConvocation in the fall and ending with Commencementin the spring.

“(We wanted) a slice of Brown today, but still timeless,”said Hinman Diffily ’73, editor at large of public affairsand University relations.

The images featured in the book’s 128 pages range fromlandscapes taken from the top of the Sciences Library tocandids of undergraduates on the Main Green and med-ical students working at Women and Infants Hospital.

“We didn’t want the tourist brochure version,” said theproject’s manager, Isabelle Hunter ’91, director of publicaffairs and University relations.

Hunter also said the project team tried to get as behindthe scenes as possible with the images. “We’d rather see arehearsal than a concert,” she said.

Hunter told The Herald that though there was somedemand from the Alumni Relations Office to produce abook to distribute as a gift for friends of Brown, the teamwanted “Images” to resonate with current students andtheir parents as well.

“It’s intended for everyone who loves Brown and peo-ple who want to know about Brown,” said Laura Freid,vice president for public affairs and University relations.

Diffily told the Herald that the book’s premier beforethe holiday season is no coincidence. She said she hopedpeople would buy them as a holiday, graduation orreunion gift.

Mercer was selected from a pool of photographers whodid similar works for Brown’s peer institutions. He tookphotographs for schools such as Connecticut College,Mount Holyoke College, Simmons College and WesleyanUniversity, of which he is an alumnus.

“We all felt that the photographer was particularly sen-sitive to capturing the essence of a University campus,”Freid said. “We were right. He did a great job.”

Freid also said that the University selected Mercerbecause he is skilled at taking photographs of both land-scapes and people. The images in the book are moreevocative than those compiled over 20 years ago, she said.Freid told the Herald she hopes that the album will gener-ate a lot of discussion and enthusiasm.

Mercer began shooting in the fall of 2001, and by thetime he finished photographing the University in May, hehad taken over 15,000 images.

Diffily and Hunter said that the plethora of photos leftthem with a lot of choice, and those choices were in noway easy. They had to make sure the images selected wererepresentative of all aspects of life at Brown.

The team had to submit all its designs to the printer bythe end of August.

Diffily recalled that the biggest crisis the team had waswhen it almost never snowed last year. They monitoredweather forecasts closely, and one day in March, the pho-tographer, William Mercer, raced down from Cambridgeto capture Brown in the snow, she said.

At least one member of the production team accompa-nied Mercer on photo shoots to give him input as to whatwas important to the Brown community, Diffily said. Theteam of five had four Brown alumni, who collectivelyshare over 70 years at Brown as students and employees.

Diffily said that she and Mercer would be walkingthrough campus when he would stop suddenly to exam-ine something with his viewfinder. “He would get capti-vated that way,” she said.

Diffily also said that Mercer paid attention to details oncampus that most Brown community members don’t

ferent people and you’re exposed to many different issues.”Brown students who oversaw this year’s conference

ranked it among the most successful ever.“This has definitely been the best year,” said Daniel

Calarco ’03, a four-year member of Brown Model U.N.“There were more people and it ran smoothly. I didn’thave to yell very much.”

Michael Sall ’05, director of external affairs for thisyear’s conference, said interacting with high school stu-dents made his hard work worthwhile.

“I like being able to share this experience with the highschool students,” Sall said

For some students, organizing conferences like thisweekend’s is an extension of their participation in ModelU.N. during high school.

Sasha Rosenthal ’04 began participating her freshman yearof high school and has continued her involvement at Brown.

“I tried the debate club first,” she said. “But I’m going intointernational relations, and this is not so much about oppo-sition but about creating a consensus.” She said the plan-ning process of the conference was “very rewarding. I hadgreat experiences (with Model U.N.) in high school, and Iwant to make it possible for other high school students.”

ing campaigns for $1 billion or more include Harvard,Yale, Columbia, Cornell and the University ofPennsylvania. Harvard’s most recent campaign,which ended in 1999, raised $2.6 billion over thecourse of about five years, according to universitydocuments.

Projects the campaign may fund include new interdis-ciplinary graduate programs, Simmons said. The newly-created Academic Priorities Committee, headed byProvost Robert Zimmer, expects to recommend new pro-grams to Simmons and the Corporation by the end of theacademic year, she added.

Recently, Simmons said, visiting committees reviewedthe University’s programs in education and in biology,medicine and community health, and recommendedtheir expansion and reorganization.

“I would expect to see in my time at Brown lots of ideasfor new combinations and new programs, because that’swhat a vital place does,” Simmons continued. “You’realways coming up with new possibilities. We can’t fundthem all. We don’t want them all, but we certainly ought tobe debating them all the time.”

notice. Photographers love the fact that Brown is a mosa-ic of architectural styles, she said.

Hunter said her fondest memory of the project is whenshe joined Mercer on a photo shoot of the Brown crewteam at 6 a.m., just when the sun was rising. Both Freidand Diffily said that the image of two students dancingalone in Sayles Hall was their favorite.

The thousands of photos that don’t appear in the bookwill not be wasted, Diffily said, but rather will be archivedand used for other Brown publications. Some of theseimages already appeared on the University’s Web site.Mercer’s contract gave the University ownership of all hiswork for the project, she said.

Diffily said the rhythm of the book captures both thebusy and quiet moments at Brown. “The syncopation of lifeon campus — it crescendos and decrescendos,” she said.

Hunter said there will be a contest in which studentsand faculty can win a free copy of the book, valued at$49.95. Contestants must be able to identify where oncampus featured photos were taken. Entries can be madeat www.brown.edu/namethatframe.

“The team should be congratulated for falling in lovewith their project,” Freid said.

ARTS & CULTURETHE BROWN DAILY HERALD


BY STEFAN TALMANToward Uncertainty, the new show at theDavid Winton Bell Gallery, reads like a the-sis. In a simple two-phase chronologicalprogression, one enters the lobby of List, isintroduced to the “old,” given the contextfrom which current Italian art is emerging,and upon opening the doors to the gallery,experiences the “new” through myriadexamples.

Whether this thesis-like approach, withan overarching theme linking the presentworks to their historical precedents, isgood or not serves to be argued. On onehand, the aesthetic value of all pieces pres-ent deserves praise — stepping back fromthe overarching ideological theme, clear,clean, lines and forms cut across the his-torical boundaries, providing the beautifulsimplicity and playfulness that should beexpected from Italian art and design.

The uncluttered, unpretentious aes-thetic seems far more important, then,than any ideological undercurrentsaccompanying the works. The detailedexplanations outlining the artists’ motives,explaining the meaning of each work andthematically connecting them are lessimportant than the artists’ purely aesthet-ic connection. While each explanationadds another layer of intellectual depth toeach work, these layers of explanation canovershadow the pure aesthetic content.

Perhaps Towards Uncertainty, unknow-ingly, provides a coherent show function-ing on both levels, satisfying both needs.

That aside, uncertainty serves as the

driving force linking the two generationsof artists more than any specific aestheticor theme in Toward Uncertainty — the titletaken from Boetti’s statement, “Leavingcertainty for uncertainty.”

Representing the elder generation areMichelangelo Pistoletto and Alighiero eBoetti from the Arte Povera movement ofthe 1960s and 1970s, a reaction to the tra-ditional medium of painting, incorporat-ing more common materials and unusualtechniques. Pistoletto’s painting on mir-rors works to connect the typically high artconception of painting with the immedi-ate situation, reflected in the mirror, gen-erating a contradiction or uncertainty forthe spectator.

Boetti’s ballpoint pen drawings in play-ful green, blue, red and black are primarilyelaborate horizontal lines of verticalhatchmarks, evoking the process of writ-ing. Often adding depth to this simpletheme, words, letters, commas or air-planes play with the elemental theme,operating on levels visual simplicity creat-ed by miniscule complexity.

The new artists follow with similar sim-ple, elegant playfulness. They are all nom-inees for the Querini-FURLA prize, whichpresents an annual survey of art by youngItalians. Elisabetta Di Maggio’s elaboratecuttings on the gallery wall and a longpaper roll extended for the length of thegallery, repeat variations on a floral-themeare reminiscent of a grandmother’s knit-

ARTS & CULTURE REVIEW


nine-play 70-yard drive to give theBears a 6-0 lead. The extra point byPaul Christian ’06 was good and theBears were on the board first.Things seemed to be looking evenmore favorable as the lead widenedon a four-yard carry by Joe Rackley‘03 putting the Bears ahead 13-0.However, the first missed opportu-nity arose here as the extra point byPaul Christian was blocked, a cru-cial mistake early in the game.

The Bulldogs, not a team tostand idly by, answered back in thesecond quarter on a six-yardtouchdown pass from quarterbackJeff Mroz to Nate Lawrie makingthe score 13-7 Yale after a success-ful extra point. Only four minuteslater, the Bulldogs took the lead ona 23 yard pass from Mroz to RonBenigno making the score 14-13Yale after another successful extrapoint. Yet Brown rallied once againas Kyle Slager connected with All

American receiver Chass Gessner’03 on a 21 yard pass making thescore 20-14 Brown.

The third quarter began withYale closing the gap on the Bear’svictory with a 35-yard field goal byJohn Troost with 3:39 to play mak-ing the score 20-17 Brown. Yaleonce again regained the lead in thethird of what was to be five leadchanges throughout the course ofthe game. Mroz completed a 33-yard pass to Ron Benigno makingthe score 24-20 Yale after a com-pleted extra point.

With 5:39 to play Brown wouldmake its final attempt to garner itsfirst win this season. Kyle Slageronce again connected on an 18 yardpass to Chass Gessner giving theBears a 27-24 edge. This was the lasttime they would regain control ofthe game. With only 1:46 left to play,Yale answered back with a 20-yardtouchdown pass from Mroz toRalph Plumb, making the score 31-27 Yale and stunning a hyped upBears crowd into devastated silence.

Missed extra points, costly holdingpenalties, a lackluster defense and a

losing mentality that seemed to hoverover Brown stadium led to a Bulldogsvictory. The Bears have two morechances to turn it around and per-haps regain some of their dignity thisseason. I for one think they can do it.Here’s hoping next Saturday againstDartmouth they prove me right.

Fully realizing that my job atThe Herald consists of recapitu-lating the events of last Saturday’sgame in an unbiased and textualfashion, I just have to stop andindulge myself for just a moment.I have sat through loss after loss,dutifully reporting them in asunbiased a manner as possibleand continuing to foster hopethat soon I shall be able to sitsmilingly at my computer andrecollect a football Saturday inwhich the Bears were victorious.After last Saturday, however, inperhaps one of the saddest lossesI have ever witnessed against aYale team that basically was ask-ing to be defeated, I have reachedthe point where I must throw upmy hands and say with greatexasperation “Come on guys!”


Notes

to make plays.”Afterwards, in the post-game

press conference Gessnerimplied that he had a feeling thatlast touchdown reception wouldnot be enough.

“I knew there was a possibilitywe were going to have to go backon the field and make plays,”Gessner said. “It always happensthat way, one short.”

For him and the other mem-bers of the Brown team, the night-mare that is the season is still notover.

There were reasons to believethat Saturday would be different.The Bears would not have toendure inclement weather as inthree of their previous losses. Theday’s forecast: blue skies andunseasonably mild conditions.

And when the Bears scored ontheir first two possessions in thefirst quarter, the team looked verymuch like last year’s team that wasranked tenth nationally in totaloffense and in the hunt for the IvyLeague title.

Brown was moving the balldown field against the second bestdefense in the league and stop-ping Yale’s league leading runninggame.

Quarterback Kyle Slager ’04 wasin the groove, going 10-13 in thefirst 15 minutes, finding an assort-ment of backs and receivers for113 yards and a touchdown to full-back Brent Grinna ’04. Joe Rackley’03 had a bounce in his step thatBrown fans had not seen andlooked nothing like a runningback that has been bothered by ahamstring injury for most of theseason. Rackley had a long run for33 yards and later a touchdownrun to give Brown a 13-0 lead - allin the first quarter.

Yale took back some of themomentum in the second quarterwith two touchdowns receptions,but the Bears were still ahead 20-14 heading into the locker roomafter a 21-yard touchdown recep-tion from Slager to Gessner.

In the second half, thingsbecame more difficult. The earlyoffensive magic began to fade asYale’s defensive line found seamsinto the Bears’ backfield. Slagerhad less time to throw and wasforced to scramble or take a sackfor much of the second half.

Yale’s running game started todevelop and looked ready to eruptbefore the Brown defense made abig stop in their own end to resortthe Bulldogs to a field goal. Brownsurvived the third quarter stillahead 20-17.

And in the fourth quarter theBears looked every bit to like the2002 team that makes costly mis-takes to lose close games.

Jermaine Griffin ’04 intercepteda Yale pass on their 19-yard line butBrown failed to net any pointsbecause of penalties and lack ofexecution. Four plays later, Browngave the ball back five yards behindwhere it had started. Momentslater, the Bulldogs scored a 33-yardtouchdown reception on a tippedball that threw the covering Browndefensive back off balance, allow-ing the Yale receiver to scurry intothe end zone.

“What can’t happen is you can’tgo out in the second half andshoot yourself in the foot withpenalties and miscues against afootball team like this (Yale) andwe did that,” Estes said. “Weplayed a heck of a football game.This is the story of what the seasonis all about — it’s close but notquite there.”

Brown was behind for the firsttime all game, trailing 24-20 withten minutes remaining butmarched 65 yards downfield.Slager threw a beautiful 18-yardfade ball to Gessner in the endzone and with the receptionmoved him into second place forcareer touchdown receptions inthe Ivy League at 34.

The celebration was short lived.A young and injury-depleted

Brown secondary that had playedwell for most of the game showedits vulnerability on Yale’s last drive.The Bulldogs went ahead for good

on a 20-yard touchdown pass inthe corner of the end zone by Yalewide receiver Ralph Plumb..

Plumb, a Rhode Island native,was interested in Brown, butchose Yale because he wanted toplay offense.

“Brown recruited me but theywanted me to play defensive backand I wanted to play offense andthe coaches here (at Yale) gave mea shot to do that,” said Plumb. “Iam bitter you know, because I’mfrom here and we had a wholebunch of hometown people comeup to see me play. It’s real sweetbecause it’s against a team thatreally didn’t think I could play forthem. And then to come back andbeat them, it’s real sweet.”

After the game, Plumb said itfelt great to catch the game winneragainst the team that didn’t thinkhe could play offense for them.

Despite the season beingtougher than he ever expected,coach Estes still believes in hisfootball team.

“We’re going get there. We con-tinue to get better and we got bet-ter today. I mean we played wellon both sides of the football.Obviously there were times, as Isaid, when we shot ourselves inthe foot, but it’s there,” Estes said.“This team fights. I have not seenany give up in them at all. Theycame out here and battled. It was agreat fight. We just weren’t able todeliver the win.”

Yet with only two games left,time is running out on the Brownfootball season. The team is onthe road next week versusDartmouth.

New allegations of FBI retaliationagainst whistle-blowers WASHINGTON (Washington Post) — New allegations of retali-ation by senior executives at the FBI have been referred tothe Justice Department inspector general’s office, whichjust completed a draft report detailing previous incidentsof mistreatment against the same employee, according toFBI and congressional sources.

The incidents have renewed debate over the FBI’s treat-ment of internal whistle-blowers, who have historicallycomplained of harsh punishment for rank-and-file workerswho uncover wrongdoing.

The case presents another challenge for FBI DirectorRobert Mueller III, who has repeatedly told lawmakers thatwhistle-blowers will be protected even while having todeal with an increasing number of them speaking out.One of the recent incidents involves one of Mueller’shandpicked senior deputies, W. Wilson Lowery Jr.

The allegations center on John E. Roberts, a unit chiefwho leads employee misconduct investigations in the FBI’sOffice of Professional Responsibility.

Roberts testified in Congress last year about how hiscareer was damaged because he helped uncover flaws inthe FBI’s handling of the 1992 siege at Ruby Ridge, Idaho.He repeated many of the criticisms in a recent televisioninterview.

His claims had helped lead to a broad investigation ofFBI personnel policies by Inspector General Glenn Fine. Adraft report from Fine being circulated at FBI headquartersstrongly condemns top management for meting outunfair discipline, and it supports Roberts’s claims of mis-treatment, according to people familiar with the docu-ment.

But since Roberts appeared Oct. 27 on a “60 Minutes”television broadcast, some of Mueller’s top managershumiliated and threatened him, according to his attorneyand Senate investigators. The treatment came despite thefact Roberts was preapproved to appear on the broadcastby top FBI officials, his supporters said.

“This is retaliation in its deepest form,” said KrisKolesnik, executive director of the National WhistleblowerCenter who is working as an investigator in Roberts’s case.“The message is: Thou shalt not criticize the FBI. If you do,you’re going to get hammered.”

Consumer protection commissionimposes fines for toys, weed trimmer WASHINGTON (Washington Post) — The Consumer ProductSafety Commission, under the leadership of a new,Republican chairman, is continuing to crack down on firmsit believes sell dangerous products.

Monday, the agency will impose fines on two firms.U.S. Home and Garden Inc. has agreed to pay an

$885,000 penalty to settle allegations that the companyfailed to notify federal safety officials, as required by law,that its weed trimmer attachment for the Weed Wizardhad caused serious injuries.

The trimmer’s head was recalled in May 2000 after theCPSC found it had caused at least 19 serious injuries andone death—a 3 year old who was hit by the chain link of atrimmer head that flew off while her grandfather wasusing it.

The CPSC is also imposing a total of $270,000 in civiland criminal penalties on STK International Inc., a LosAngeles importer, and its president, Stuart T. Kole, forimporting and selling products that violated federal toystandards designed to protect infants and young childrenfrom choking.

It is the first time the agency has levied both civil andcriminal penalties for toy-related violations. It did sobecause STK is a repeat offender, CPSC officials said. In1997, STK was ordered to pay an $80,000 civil penalty forimporting and selling over 90,000 toys and art materialsthat violated federal safety rules. The current penaltyinvolves 110,000 toys that could break into small pieces,such as a two-piece tambourine set or a Bathtime WaterWheel.

“We want to send a clear message to toy importers:There will be consequences for those who bring unsafeproducts into our country,” said CPSC Chairman HalStratton, who assumed his post in late August. At the sametime, Stratton said, the agency also wants to make it clearthat “companies that ignore our reporting requirementswill be penalized.”

(Washington Post) — The Bush administration has settledon a plan for a possible invasion of Iraq that envisionsseizing most of the country quickly and encirclingBaghdad, but assumes that Saddam Hussein will proba-bly fall from power before U.S. forces enter the capital,senior U.S. military officials said.

Hedging its bets, the Pentagon is also preparing for thepossibility of prolonged fighting in and around Baghdad.Administration war planners expect that, even if the Iraqipresident is deposed from power, there could be messyskirmishes there and in Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit, themilitary officials said.

The war plan, sometimes the subject of bitter argu-ments between senior civilian and military officials, hasbeen refined in recent weeks even as the Bush adminis-tration pursued a successful diplomatic effort to secure anew U.N. weapons inspection system for Iraq. Officialssaid that the plan could still change in important ways,such as the precise number of troops required, but thatthe broad outlines are now agreed upon within theadministration.

Military officials said they will be prepared to go to warif Iraq flouts the new resolution, approved on Friday bythe U.N. Security Council.

Most notably, the emerging U.S. approach tries to takeinto account regional sensitivities by attempting to inflictthe minimum amount of damage deemed necessary toachieve the U.S. goals in a war.

The plan aims to do that mainly by attacking quicklybut with a relatively small force conducting focusedattacks. But it also hedges by putting enough combatforces in the area — including around 150,000 U.S. andallied ground troops — to engage in close combat withthe Special Republican Guard if Iraqi resistance is stifferthan expected.

“The point is that if things don’t go as we hope, therewill be enough forces on hand to deal with it,” said oneDefense Department official who was briefed on the planlate last month.

The dual nature of the U.S. war plan is designed toencourage Iraqis to revolt against Hussein. As an admin-istration official put it in a recent interview, the plan aimsto “create the conditions” under which Iraqis can do that.“I think ultimately this is more of a revolution that’s goingto happen, rather than something brought about by U.S.military power,” he said.

To create those conditions, the U.S. invasion wouldbegin with a series of simultaneous air and groundactions and psychological warfare operations, all aimedat destroying the security police and other institutionsthat help Hussein hold on to power. “You have to shakethe regime to its core,” said one knowledgeable defenseexpert. “You’ve got to pursue the pillars of the regimeacross the board.”

Under the concept of operations briefed this fall toPresident Bush, rather than begin with a lengthy aircampaign, as in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, an invasionwould begin with the U.S. military swiftly seizing thenorthern, western and southern sectors of Iraq whilelaunching airstrikes and other attacks on “regime tar-gets” — mainly security forces and suspected reposito-ries of chemical and biological weapons — in theremaining part of the country around Baghdad, military

officials said. Simultaneously, a nationwide “psychological opera-

tions” campaign that is already underway would useleaflets and radio broadcasts to try to persuade the Iraqimilitary to change sides and to tell the Iraqi populationthat they aren’t being targeted. Also, troops and civilianofficials would be warned against carrying out orders touse chemical or biological weapons.

If Hussein falls quickly, U.S. ground forces wouldn’tneed to assault Baghdad. “The feeling is, they’ll be suc-cessful in the first phase, and then the next phase won’t benecessary, because the regime will fall and a new regimewill take over,” said a military planner.

Indeed, the U.S. intelligence community has predictedthat Hussein might even be ousted before a U.S. attack islaunched, once it becomes clear in Iraq that such anattack is imminent.

Overall, the plan makes sense by trying both to under-cut Hussein’s domestic base and to minimize his ability tostrike neighbors, said retired Air Force Col. RichardAtchison, an intelligence officer who specialized in target-ing during the Gulf War.

“In the north, you separate Saddam from his tribalsupport base; in the south, you hold the area most sedi-tious to the Saddam regime,” he said. “Then you can forman Iraqi government-in-waiting with your coalitionallies.”

Meanwhile, Atchison said, in the west, where thereis little except a highway and two Iraqi military air-fields and weapons depots, “you protect Jordan andIsrael.”

This article was discussed extensively in recent dayswith several senior civilian and military DefenseDepartment officials. At their request, several aspects ofthe plan are being withheld from publication. Thoseaspects include the timing of certain military actions, thetrigger points for other moves, some of the tactics beingcontemplated and the units that would execute some ofthe tactics.

Some of those officials said they see a strategic benefitin disclosing the dual nature of the plan. Discussing itsbroad outline would help inform the Arab world that theUnited States is making a determined effort to avoidattacking the Iraqi people, one said. At the same time, headded, it also might help the Iraqi military understandthat the U.S. military will be able to destroy any units thatresist.

But the entire plan is designed to avoid having toengage in debilitating urban combat in the streets of thecapital, where U.S. technological advantages would bedegraded and civilian casualties would be inevitable.

In phase one of the operation, the U.S. military wouldmove into the nearly empty western desert borderingJordan.

The purpose of this action would be to keep Israel frombeing attacked by missiles or unmanned drone aircraftladen with chemical or biological weapons. U.S. troopswould look for airstrips and stretches of highway fromwhich drones could be launched.

They also would keep a watch for Scud missiles,though U.S. military intelligence analysts consider itunlikely that Iraq has operational Scuds that it coulddeploy to the west.

Sources: War plan for Iraq is ready

WASHINGTON (L. A. Times) — The Pentagon has been movingships, fighter jets, bombers and artillery into the PersianGulf region in preparation for a possible war with Iraq,bolstering an already hefty force in the region.

And the preparations, already well underway, take onnew urgency with the United Nations’ decision to dis-patch inspectors to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad to huntfor weapons of mass destruction.

The resolution adopted unanimously by the SecurityCouncil on Friday authorizes new weapons inspections inIraq, not war. Several council members said after theirvotes that they believed the resolution will prevent war,not trigger it. President Bush, too, said Saddam Husseinnow has one last chance to hand over banned weapons.

But the president also made clear that the United Statesis prepared to act as enforcer if Iraq does not comply.

About 48,000 U.S. military personnel and 400 aircraftare already stationed in the Middle East and Central Asia,not counting troops involved in the Afghanistan cam-paign. So much firepower is arrayed within hours of Iraq’sborders that the United States could launch a small strikeforce backed by air power into the nation within weeks ofbeing told to do so by the White House.

But current and former defense officials say that is notthe military’s preferred option.

“We could always do something right away, but the ques-tion is the risks and whether we are willing to take them,”said a retired Army general with close ties to decision-mak-ers at the Pentagon. “I don’t think the administration canafford to fail here. That means taking the time, at leastanother month, to move more heavy forces into the area.”

Pentagon war planners have kept their discussions onthe scale and type of action the military under wraps.Unlike the 1991 Persian Gulf War, which focused primari-ly on destroying Hussein’s military assets and troops, theemphasis this time is expected to be on decapitating theIraqi regime by targeting the Iraqi leader’s institutionalpower base, including presidential palaces, military andsecurity police facilities and bases. Particular attentionwould be given to bombing Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit.

Many former defense officials and military analysts saythe invasion plan would include a large ground force oftwo or three Army heavy divisions — each of which typi-cally includes more than 400 tanks and armored vehicles— along with a 17,000-soldier light division and a 45,000-soldier Marine expeditionary force.

Pentagon swings into gear, moves ships into Gulf


CHICAGO (L. A. Times) — In May,Maryland Gov. ParrisGlendening became the secondgovernor to impose a moratori-um on the death penalty, andother states are consideringsuch action.

Glendening’s announcement,which stayed the execution ofWesley Eugene Baker pendingthe outcome of a death penaltystudy by the University ofMaryland, came two years afterIllinois Gov. George Ryanannounced the first such halt toexecutions.

Ryan, a Republican, imposedthe moratorium after 13 deathrow inmates had been exonerat-ed since Illinois reinstated thedeath penalty in 1977.

The state has executed 12 peo-ple, fewer than it has freed.

Glendening, a Democrat,made his decision based not ondeath row exonerations but afterrevelations that nine of hisstate’s 13 condemned inmateswere from one county,Baltimore, and that nine of the13 were black.

Glendening is awaiting theresults of the study, which isexpected to be completed by theend of the year.

Thirty-eight states have a deathpenalty, and the Legislatures inmany of them — includingOregon, Indiana, North Carolina,Arizona and Nebraska — havestruggled for years over the ulti-mate punishment.

In 1999, the NebraskaLegislature passed a resolutioncalling for a moratorium on exe-cutions by a vote of 27 to 21, butRepublican Gov. Mike Johannsvetoed the bill.

The revolution in DNA tech-nology in the late 1980s has beenone of the key tools opponentshave used in seeking to overturnthe death penalty in the UnitedStates, as has pressure frommany other Western nations thathave abolished executions.

The Sept. 11 terroristattacks, observers say, and therecent sniper slayings in theWashington, D.C., area, haveaided death penalty propo-nents in arguing their case.

Death penalty troublesome,some states are now deciding

WASHINGTON (L. A. Times) — Adozen years after Iraq’s invasionof little oil-rich Kuwait, theendgame over the future ofSaddam Hussein’s regime hasfinally begun.

Or has it? The international haggling is

over. A new U.N. resolution onIraq passed Friday, and weaponsinspectors soon could be head-ing back to Baghdad. The Bushadministration is pushing andplanning for a speedy denoue-ment that will either yield anyweapons of mass destructionIraq might possess or spark warto find and destroy them.

Yet a growing chorus of formerweapons inspectors, intelligenceanalysts and Iraq experts warnthat the process of trying to disarmBaghdad could drag on formonths, quite possibly beyond thepreferred timing for a U.S. militaryoperation in the cooler wintermonths.

Indeed, in what could proveto be the administration’s worst-case scenario, the Iraqi regime

may comply, at least at the out-set, the sources predicted.Hussein may even allow U.N.teams entry into eight palacecompounds, access he longrestricted on grounds of Iraqi sov-ereignty.

“We are setting ourselves upfor a big confrontation. We’ll tryin-your-face, hard-line inspec-tions assuming the Iraqis won’tcooperate. But Saddam will meetthem with all kinds of fluffy-stuffpublic demonstrations, openingthe palaces to the Iraqi peopleand other creative ploys to dis-tract attention and make thewhole thing look silly, hoping tothrow the inspections off course,”said Judith Yaphe, a former intelli-gence analyst now at NationalDefense University inWashington.

“By the time the inspectorsget in, there’ll be nothing to lookfor in the palaces they want tocheck,” she said.

How the showdown unfoldswill be keyed to both deadlinesand performance. But despite

the unprecedented pressuresand demands on him, Saddamstill holds many cards, U.N. andU.S. officials conceded.

“It’s going to be easier for himto string out the process beyondthe administration’s (informal)deadline and harder for theUnited States to find a triggermechanism to act militarily,”said Phebe Marr, an Iraq expertand former U.S. governmentanalyst. “We’ve already beenslowed just in getting a U.N. res-olution.”

The first test will be the Fridaydeadline for Iraq to accept thenew U.N. resolution. Many ana-lysts both in and outside govern-ment expect Saddam to agree.

But the real test will be the 30-day deadline for handing over acomplete list of any Iraqi nuclear,chemical and biological weaponsand ballistic missiles. Iraq wassupposed to provide the list with-in 15 days of the Persian GulfWar’s end in 1991, but still hadn’tcomplied by the time theweapons inspectors withdrew in1998.

Iraq has insisted for monthsthat it has nothing left to declare— one reason the United Statespushed hard for the UnitedNations to make lying or failing tofully declare any of its deadliestarms a “material breach” on Iraq’spart that could justify militaryaction.

Coming clean will be tough.But again, several formerweapons inspectors and Iraqexperts predicted that Baghdadwould in the end confirm it stillhas weapons of mass destruc-tion.

As part of the 1991 cease-fire,Iraq initially gave up roughlyone-third of its weapons, hopingthe U.N. teams would soon goaway. They didn’t. In the mid-1990s, Iraq again admitted it stillhad some weaponry, after claim-ing to be clean, a move forced bythe defection of Saddam’s son-in-law, who managed programsto develop weapons of massdestruction.

As a stalling tactic, however,all Iraq has to do is confess to afew arms, perhaps a few tokenScud missiles and some of the“dual-use” programs that canmake chemical or biologicalweapons out of everyday ingre-dients, analysts and formerweapons inspectors said. Thatcould muddy the waters andlead to further splits in the inter-national community.

“If Iraq coughs up some of thestuff, particularly real biologicaland chemical weapons, then theUnited States is in trouble. It’llbe very difficult for the adminis-tration to say it still may launcha war. We couldn’t justify thiseven to the Brits,” said WhitleyBrunner, a former U.S. intelli-gence official who served in Iraq.

With possible showdown looming,Hussein still holding many cards

Seeing my chances for base-ball stardom slip away, I decidedto play junior varsity baseballmy sophomore year in highschool. “A column focusing onhis early high school baseballcareer?” you may be askingyourself (and understandablyso.)

The decision to play ball atthe high school level was notmade lightly. I had been out ofthe game for years. Who knewhow my skills had latentlychanged? My only hope tojumpstart my childhood dreamwas to show everyone howmiraculously I had developedbaseball skills without any prac-tice or experience. The potentialof my comeback rivaled those ofMichael Jordan and MarioLemieux.

Unfortunately, it manifesteditself much like the dismal latecareer comebacks of Joe Louis. Ifanything, my skills had deterio-rated from when I was 12 yearsold. I rode the bench for most ofthe season and decided that thedream was officially dead.

When I remembered how mis-erably my attempt at professionalathletics failed, I decided that nomatter what, the ladies of thewomen’s soccer team would betougher than I am. I just did nothave it in me. But I did notdespair.

See, from the ashes of myfailed baseball career came thebirth of a new fantasy — a dreamwhich did not require physicaltoughness.

When I was faced with count-less hours of boredom on abench with my unathletic bud-dies, I was forced to create myown forms of entertainment.When games of “TwentyQuestions” became old, whichwas during the third inning ofthe first game, the boys and Ibegan talking sports. Eventually,our talks evolved into analysesof the games we were watchingfrom the sidelines. More andmore, these talks seemed toresemble commentary on pro-fessional games. During thecourse of the season, I devel-oped a passion for sports analy-sis.

Conveniently, my new dreamwas a little more attainable thanbeing a professional baseballplayer. Granted, having a sports

column and covering varioussports for The Brown DailyHerald is not the same as beingan ESPN analyst. But patience isa virtue, and I am quite virtuousand hopeful.

The moral of my story is that Imay never be as tough as thewomen’s soccer team, but at leastI do not have to wear short shortsin thirty-degree weather. No wait,that’s not it at all. My failure tobecome a professional athletehas enhanced my respect for allathletes, and the fact that I havefound happiness in a new dream,which better suits my skills, istruly a blessing.

So I suppose the message ofmy column is aimed at thoseyoungsters out there who happento be avid readers of an IvyLeague student newspaper. Sethigh goals for yourself. If fatedoes not go along with your cur-rent plan, do not fret; The BrownDaily Herald always needs newwriters.

Even more importantly, lifeseems to have a way of providinghope for those people whoappear to have failed in anendeavor. Keep dreaming.

Before the match, five mem-bers of Brown’s senior class –—Branan, Edu Romaniero ’03,Omar Macedo ’03, Evan Ryan ’03and Mahoney — were honoredfor their accomplishments on thefield at Brown.

Branan, a member of lastyear’s all-Ivy first team at defend-er, started and played in the mostgames of any of the seniors. Healso added two goals from theback over his career.

Edu tallied seven goals andseven assists over the last fouryears.

He has been especially suc-cessful against cross-townrival Providence College, withthree goals and two assistsagainst the Friars over fourgames. In addition, he wasrecently named a second-teamDistrict I Academic All-American.

Macedo struggled throughinjury for much of this year, buthas been a productive member ofthe midfield while playing for

Bruno. His lone goal came last season

against Cornell in a double over-time 1-1 tie.

Ryan, also a midfielder, hasnetted three goals in his career.All three came in clutch situa-tions as they were the only goalsscored for Bruno in two 1-0 victo-ries and a 1-1 tie.

Mahoney played in 13 gamesin net over his time on CollegeHill, making 47 saves and earningone shutout.

The Bears will close out theirseason next weekend in Hanover,NH when they take onDartmouth at 1 p.m. The Bearswill look to play spoiler as the BigGreen try to tie Penn for the Ivytitle.

“It may not matter in thestandings for us, but as far aspride there are 15 reasons onthe board inside that we wantto play and win,” Mahoneysaid, referring to the team’schampionship banners. “Also,we haven’t lost to them in fiveyears and we don’t plan to startnow.”

A 128-page coffee table book of pictorial images of theUniversity will hit the shelves Nov. 18. This book, featuring thework of photographer William Mercer, will provide an artisticglimpse of Brown life that staged photographs in applicationbrochures fail to capture.

All too often, prospective students’ perceptions of theUniversity are formed by staged photos of professors and stu-dents on the Main Green and in class discussions. Mercer’swork will provide prospective students, current students,alumni, community members and visitors with a real-lifesnapshot of Brown.

The book, comprised of 130 images, follows the Universitythrough the seasons of one academic year, starting withConvocation in the fall and ending with Commencement inthe spring.

Featured images range from landscapes taken from thetop of the Sciences Library to candids of undergraduates onthe Main Green and medical students working at Womenand Infants Hospital. The pictures depict the wide variety ofdaily experiences at Brown from athletic practices at dawnto students hustling across campus in the midst of a snow-storm.

Mercer was an excellent choice for the photographer, as hewas able to capture the essence of the Brown campus. He puttogether similar projects for Connecticut College, MountHolyoke College, Simmons College and Wesleyan University.University representatives accompanied Mercer on photoshoots to provide him with input on what is important to theBrown community.

The only drawback to the book is its price. At $49.95, thebook is well out of the spending range of most Brown stu-dents.

Although the University is offering students who win a con-test free copies of the book, Brown should investigate otherways to ensure that all students can appreciate these candidphotographs. Perhaps Brown can offer students a discountedrate or provide less-costly poster prints of select pictures atthe bookstore. Nevertheless, “Brown: Images of theUniversity” will provide a much-needed real-life snapshot oflife on campus.

Proposed Life Sciencesbuilding ill-conceived To the Editor:If Brown eventually builds its proposed huge andremarkably ill-conceived Life Sciences facility onMeeting and Olive streets, let’s hope Brown namesit for Ruth Simmons (“Simmons: U. will build LifeSciences building,”10/8). That way, in the future,she will be less able to disclaim responsibility forthis truly glaring example of poor campus andneighborhood planning.

The proposed Life Sciences building can beseen as yet another example of Brown’s apparentinability to strive for, far less achieve, anythingother than mediocrity. For years Brown has coast-ed along on its misleading claim of being a mem-ber of the elite Ivy League. But the Ivy League is an

athletic organization only. And given Brown’s poornational rankings, if an Ivy League based on aca-demic excellence were formed, Brown would notbe invited. Strip away the false crutch of purport-ed Ivy League academic membership, and there islittle of substance.

Those who may wonder why Brown’s actionsseem at best to reflect mediocrity might study care-fully the shallow and thoughtless process that hasled to Brown’s apparent decision to move aheadwith the proposed Life Sciences facility. Such astudy might well lead to the conclusion that, ifBrown spent half of the resources it spends on pub-lic relations efforts that attempt to paper over itsshortcomings on careful and thoughtful planning,it might one day grow up to become the kind of aca-demic institution it claims to be.

Focusing on dropping the weight in the United StatesWhy society should reassess the value of physical fitness and get out of the gym

IN AN AGE WHERE VERY FEW PEOPLEactually rely on their peak physical con-dition for survival, it seems that societyhas a strange affinity for the weightroom. It is clear that the majority ofAmericans do not find themselves inphysical conflicts on a day-to-day basis. Most people donot even hunt anymore, andif they do, it is with the cun-ning use of a shotgun.

It is becoming increasinglyclear that health is deter-mined largely by a person’sgenetic makeup. For a num-ber of reasons, however, theOMAC is consistently packedwith Brown’s finest intellects.In this column, I would like toexamine why we are com-pelled to work out and pro-vide an explanation for why societyshould not endorse this behavior any fur-ther.

As I see it, people work out for one ofthree reasons: to look good naked, toenhance their performance as a profes-sional athlete or to feel good. I will arguethat in a utopian society, the majority ofpeople should not be swayed by thesemotivations.

Though I have no statistical data tosupport my claim, I would estimate thatthe vast majority of people who exercisedo so in order to look good naked.Ideologically, I am opposed to working

out to improve appearances. We live ina society where brains, not brawn, leadto success. To spend so much time try-ing to manipulate one’s body is a waste.Going to the OMAC inevitably reducesthe amount of time one can spend

doing other activities.Wouldn’t our time be spentbetter studying at thelibrary during the hoursthat we normally work out?Even if you do not subscribeto the belief that cultivatingour brains is more impor-tant than body shape, youmust agree that watchingTV or whatever form ofrelaxation fits your needs isa better use of time.Additionally, when peoplerealize that the gym cannot

provide them with their ideal body, theyare often tempted to resort to moredangerous methods of body transfor-mation (e.g. steroid abuse and eatingdisorders).

Granted, some readers may call mehypocritical; after all, I work out for thesame reason that most people do. I dobelieve, however, that society should bealtered so as not to reward OMAC jocksfor their high levels of fitness. I know it isnot realistic to believe that this transi-tion can occur. Society is experiencingwhat can be called the dilemma of thecommons in that everyone knows theworld would be a better place if we actedaccording only to a person’s inner per-sonality traits. Yet, no one individual cancease to worry about physical fitness

without compromising his or her sociallife. If everyone participated in the revo-lution, it could work. But, alas, therewould always be that minority whowould seek fitness in order to gain thebenefits that society should be shun-ning. I acknowledge the futility of mycause and, therefore, fall prey to thesocial norm. Still, I figure the least I cando is devote a column to the issue athand.

Moving on, a very small portion of thepopulation is paid to play sports. I feel it iscompletely acceptable for professionalathletes to devote time and energy towardphysical fitness because they dependupon it for their livelihood. How many laypeople can say that? Very few.

The final group of ambitious exercisersis comprised of those who work out to feelgood. Anybody at the OMAC will agreethat working out consistently cheers themup. When subjected to physical stress, thebody releases endorphins that usually leadto a good mood. Also, if a person is physi-cally fit, certain day-to-day activitiesbecome easier. I know that constantlyclimbing up to the fifth floor of my Keeneyresidence would be exhausting if I wereout of shape. Finally, those who are physi-cally fit tend to be less susceptible to ill-

nesses.These results are all worthy goals to

strive for, but I believe they can beaccomplished without making a dailytrip to the gym. If people were less hesi-tant to use their bodies as tools fortransportation, many of the sameresults would ensue. For instance, Iknow many people who have cars atBrown drive to and from the mall on aweekly basis. On occasion, I have eventaken the shuttle to get to the gym!Walking to such local destinationswould undoubtedly produce a numberof beneficial outcomes. Aside from gain-ing the advantages of physical fitness,we would also sharply decrease trafficcongestion on most roads. The next log-ical result would be a decline in pollu-tion and reliance upon foreign oil, bothissues at the forefront of the nation’spolitical agenda.

Granted, I am as lazy as the next guy.And yes, walking is usually slower thandriving, so we might have to plan ahead.Nevertheless, the rewards of abandon-ing the automobile should overpowerthe inconveniences of being a pedestri-an.

It is time to progress beyond society’sstrange fascination with the weightroom. While there are undeniably bene-fits to being physically fit, there are alsosocietal boons that are being over-looked on account of current priorities.With so few people actually relyingupon physical fitness for practical rea-sons, there is no reason the OMACshould be as packed and overcrowdedas it is now.

Adam Stern ’06 is a cardiologist’s son. Fatpeople and smokers are his bread andbutter.

I DO NOT MIND WHEN PEOPLE WRITEcolumns expressing opinions differentthan mine or when a columnist tries toexamine two sides of an issue objectively.But it irritates the hell out of me whensomeone proceeds to tell me what I standfor as a pro-choicer — andgets it hideously wrong. This isexactly why I think that ShirinLua Oskooi ’05 (“No oneshould care whether or notpeople kill babies”, 11/07/02)is not only misguided, but alsomisleading.

I will not attempt to correct Oskooi’smisconceptions about pro-lifers; thoseare not my views and I am thus ill-equipped to defend them. Oskooi goesstraight to the meaty stuff regarding thepro-choice movement in her secondparagraph. Pro-choicers are “liberallyasserting women’s rights while conserva-tively clinging to society’s moral stan-dards by refusing to admit that abortionis the murder of a helpless human.” Lateron in her piece she states: “Fetuses arehuman, even if one does not admit thispublicly” and “A fetus is human, andaborting it is murder.” What ever hap-pened to the words “in my opinion”? Inher first paragraph, Oskooi has alreadyclearly shown that she can’t tell the differ-ence between fact and opinion. Her state-ments are “factual” because they arebased on a short, blurry video clip of analleged abortion (http//www.sexualwis-dom.com/video.html for those of youwho have time to waste) that stirred her

emotions, and she states that “theseimages should not disgust a person whodoes not consider a fetus human.” I willgive Oskooi the benefit of the doubt andcall her gullible for expecting realistic andobjective footage from a clip that is pre-

ceded by the statement:“Warning: This video isextremely graphic becauseabortion is an act of violencewhich kills a baby.” Perhapsshe thought it had meritbecause the site was sanc-

tioned by a doctor, who also wrote thatpremarital sex is unacceptable betweenconsenting adults, and that sex is not theprivate decision of the two peopleinvolved. As we can see, this site is vehe-mently opposed to what a large percent-age of the world (and I imagine an evenlarger percentage here at Brown) believes.Objective information? Not on this par-ticular site.

Another thing that caused me to snort isOskooi’s assertion that “technically, abor-tion is merely … a kind of cosmetic sur-gery.” Cosmetic surgery is about lookingmore attractive. Abortion is about choos-ing not to have a child, an act that affectsthe rest of a woman’s life. Comparing thetwo shows how little Oskooi understandsthe issue at hand; abortion is not some-thing a woman chooses to avoid a dis-agreeable nine months of “looking fat,”but in order to make a better life for her-self.

Then, of course, there is the constanttwisting and turning on the issue of risk,in an attempt to appear objective. Oskooicontends, “Abortion is unusually riskyand unnecessary,” “Yet pregnancies are

also both unhealthy and risky,” “Abortionis one of the safest surgical proceduresknown,” but “Abortion is conversely oneof the deadliest surgical proceduresknown … counting dead children.” I amparticularly struck by the word “unneces-sary.” Oskooi goes on to say, “Pro-choicers concern themselves with thephysical health of a woman, yet they pro-mote the right of a woman to choose.This is contradictory because abortion isa very unnatural process, defies thestruggle to procreate and is physicallyunhealthy.”

You’re damn right I promote the rightof a woman to choose — to choose whatshe thinks is best for her physical andemotional health. Part of physical health,which Oskooi is so very concerned withwhen she gleefully discusses the “afteref-fects” of abortion, including “painfulbodily aberrations,” is deciding howmany children you want and when youwant them (if, indeed, you want any chil-dren at all). An abortion is not somethingthat a woman wants to have, it is some-thing that a woman decides she needs tohave, and it is not “unnecessary.”

Oskooi dedicates several paragraphsto arguing why murder is natural (as iscannibalism) and everyone is societyshould just chill — my paraphrasing, nothers — about death and killing. I’m notinterested in what she has to say onthese titillating topics, as I — along withall the pro-choicers I know — do notview abortion as murder. It was gratu-itous and a failed attempt to makeOskooi’s argument appear deep andthoughtful, two qualities sadly lackingfrom her piece.

A wise woman once said “You don’thave to like abortion to believe it shouldbe legal.” Ask yourselves this: what willhappen if abortion is illegal? More chil-dren will be born. What will happen tothose children? A large number of themwill be unloved, possibly by mothers whofelt pressured to keep them by society,which can be as condemnatory ofwomen who give up their children as ofwomen who choose not to have them atall.

A larger number would be abused andunloved because there will always bemore children waiting to be adoptedthan loving parents wishing to adopt. Ifyou take this out of a U.S. context, this iseven truer. Add the AIDS crisis to thismess, and you will create even starkerstatistics. Perhaps you haven’t seen four-year-old children begging by themselvesfor money at the traffic lights of yourhome town, but I have.

And what about the women who chooseto have an abortion even though it’s illegal?If women are going to let unqualified indi-viduals perform abortions on them inunsanitary and dangerous conditions, oreven try and abort their pregnancies them-selves using instruments such as coathangers, how can we refuse them saferalternatives? You cannot stop women frommaking this choice. All we can do is try tomake it the safest choice possible.

If I had felt Oskooi was merely shar-ing her opinion in what is admittedly anopinion piece, I would not have been soharsh on her. But the biggest condem-nation she brings down upon herself isher byline: “Shirin Oskooi ’05 doesn’tcare.”

BY JERMAINE MATHESONIn the media room of Brown Stadium, thehands of Brown All-American ChasGessner ’03 hid his face after Saturday’sloss to Yale (5-3, 3-2 Ivy League.) Earlierthose same hands caught what seemed tobe the game-winning touchdown, movingBrown (0-8, 0-5) ahead 27-24 late in thefourth quarter.

But anyone who has watched a gamethis year at the stadium will tell you, noBrown lead is safe in the fourth quarter.Yale scored a touchdown on its next driveto go ahead 31-27.

Brown still had about two minutes forone last drive. Starting deep in its own ter-ritory, Kyle Slager ‘04 threw darts down themiddle of the field. Brown moved the ballinto the Yale red zone in hopes that per-haps the team would finally get its firstwin.

On the 11-yard line, on third down, with40 seconds remaining, Brown tight endChris Walther ‘03 nearly caught the gamewinner in the end zone. A Yale defendergot just enough of the ball to break up thepass, but was very close to being passinterference.

On fourth down, Slager threw to IanMalepeai ’03 in the end zone, but again thepass was broken up. The Brown offenseexited the field, conceding the ball over ondowns. Unceremoniously, the Bulldogstook a knee for the final play of the game,escaping with a 31-27 victory.

Brown Head Coach Phil Estes thoughtthe referees missed a call on third down.

“I saw interference, but it doesn’t matterwhat I see. It matters what the referees see.They didn’t see it as interference,” Estessaid. “I mean the guy was draped on him,but we had other opportunities than that

MY INNATE ATHLETIC ABILITY HASalways been average. Still, I like tohope that if I ever found myself in aphysical encounter, I would not becompletely devoid of physicalprowess. During last Friday’s

women’s soccergame againstYale University,however, I madea realizationthat hauntsalmost everymale student atBrown: thebeautiful andtalented ladiesof women’s soc-cer are infinitely

tougher than I am.As I watched Brown’s team defeat

Yale 2-0, I kept telling myself howimpressed I was at the hard-hittingaction which I saw before me.Eventually, the man sitting next tome told me to stop talking to myself.In any event, I continued to wonderif I could have conditioned myself toplay with such intensity and tough-ness. In order to answer my ques-tion, I thought back to my childhooddream of playing Major LeagueBaseball.

During childhood, most peoplehave dreams that are unattainable. Iwanted to play for the Mets at SheaStadium. Sadly, my Little Leaguecareer was off to a slow start. Mythrowing arm was not as strong assome of my peers. I very seldommade solid contact on a given swing.An assortment of minor injuries hadme sidelined, eventually resulting ina terrible addiction to Vicodin. Okay,that last part wasn’t true.

Still, with every passing season itappeared that my teammatesbecame better and better while myskills stagnated at “pathetic and dis-appointing.” It became increasinglyclear that I was going to have to pulloff a miracle if I were to play in theBig Leagues.

BY NICK GOUREVITCHThe Brown men’s soccer team dropped itsthird straight close match 1-0 to Yale onSaturday night. The Elis scored with just 10minutes remaining in the second half tobreak the scoreless tie and sneak out ofStevenson field with the victory.

“We definitely had our chances in thefirst 20 minutes of the first half, but wedidn’t get a lucky break and it has beenthat way all season,” said goalkeeper PeterMahoney ’03. “Same thing with the goal –one bad bounce.”

The Bears had a couple of the afore-mentioned scoring chances just sevenminutes into the match. Mahoney sent along kick from the keeper position over thetop of the Yale defense to Ibrahim Diane’06, whose one-touch shot from inside theYale box nearly found net. Instead, it wentwide, but Diane earned a foul on the playresulting in a free kick at the top of the box.

On the ensuing kick, Marcos Romaneiro’05 hit the left goalpost and DustinBranan’s ’03 close range follow-up shotwas blocked by the Yale keeper.

For much of the remainder of the firsthalf, the Bears earned many of theirchances trying to get the ball up front vialong passes. In addition to the chances inthe run of play, this resulted in a few dan-gerous corner kick opportunities, butBrown was not able to convert.

Meanwhile, Yale’s main chances camefrom working the ball into the penalty area

and taking shots near the top of the box.One of these shots came in the 19thminute, but Mahoney did well to make atwo-handed save on a tough shot.

With five minutes remaining in the half,Julian Jordan ’04 sent a long pass down-field for Diane, but the Yale goalkeepertook out Diane’s legs and the referee’s no-call had the Bears’ bench up in arms.

In the second half, the Bears defenseremained solid as Mahoney again came upwith a big two-handed save about 15 min-utes in.

At the 67-minute mark, Diane again ledthe Bears on offense. This time, he electri-fied the crowd as he streaked down thenear sideline and almost took on the entireYale defense. However, on his final cut thatwould have put him in terrific scoringposition, a Yale defender barely toed itaway to spoil the run.

Moments later, Seth Quidachay-Swan’04 nearly had a goal of his own as heturned and fired a rocket of a shot on tar-get at the goal, but the Yale keeper pushedit away for a corner.

Then, with just under 10 minutesremaining, Yale broke through on a count-er-attack that would put the Elis ahead forgood. Forward Lindsey Williams senthome a rebound from an apparent off-sides position for the score.
