East Campus.
By KATHERINE STROUP The Chronicle Kinnie Ray Smith, a former Durham resident and convicted rapist who preyed on elderly women, will probably spend the rest of his life behind bars, an Or ange County Superior Court judge ruled late last month. Smith, who is already serving a 54-year sentence for a rape in Alamance County, pleaded guilty to three charges of first-degree burglary, three charges of second- degree rape and one charge of second-degree sexual of fense. The charges stem from three rapes—two in Durham and one near Hillsborough. One of the attacks, the Aug. 10, 1998 assault on a Durham woman in her home, occurred near East Cam pus. The rape coincided with two other assaults in the area, sending shock waves through the community and bringing charges that police were hiding information from area residents. Last month, Smith was sentenced to between 83 and 105 years in prison, and the sentence will not even begin until he completes his term for the Alamance rape. The 41-year-old Smith, formerly of Maple Street in Durham, WE'LL EVEN GIVE would have to live to 177 before he could be released.

Suspect eludes cops, not LSRC employee From staff reports A Levine Science Research Center employee appre hended a man Aug. 24 who was a suspect in several crimes that day, said Maj. Robert Dean ofthe Duke Uni versity Police Department. Dean described the incident as follows: An employee reported that he approached his office in the LSRC during the mid-day and his door was locked. While he was getting his keys, he heard drawers being opened inside the office. When he opened the door, he saw a man walking from his desk area near the back of his office toward the door. As the subject walked past the employee to leave, the man picked up a cellular phone. He was also carrying two bags, one of which was black with ; white lettering from a landscape PollCC ecology conference. The employee looked around and noticed that a RCDOFtS bag of the same description was *1 — missing from under his officemate's desk. Also, the first employee's laptop computer was missing from underneath his desk. The employee went to look for the subject while an other contacted Campus Police. The first employee saw the man walking toward the labs near the hospital. He grabbed the man and yelled for someone to call the po lice. He held the man on the ground until police arrived. The man then fought with officers, but he was subdued. The subject, 30-year-old Alvin Dunn of 1207 South Alston Ave. in Durham, was charged with the larceny of the cell phone and the laptop computer. He was also charged with possession of a weapon on campus and re sisting, delaying and obstructing arrest. His bond was set at $5,000 and his court date was Aug. 25. Dunn is also being held for the theft of $15 cash from a female employee's office in LSRC. The employee report ed her purse was stolen between 11:06 a.m. and 12:39 p.m. Her purse, with the money, was later recovered by another employee in a men's bathroom in the LSRC. DUPD officers also think Dunn is responsible for the theft ofa $100 cell phone from an employee at the LSRC between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., Dean said. Apartment entered: A student reported Aug. 24 that while she was moving into her Central Campus apartment on Yearby Street at around 2:25 p.m., a man entered her apartment and stole her cellular phone and checkbook, Dean said. As she entered the apartment carrying a box from her car into her bedroom, the victim said she noticed that her pocketbook was missing from the couch. In the bedroom, she saw a man she did not recognize. She asked the subject if he had seen her purse and he replied "No, you must have left it in your car." He then walked out of her apartment. She later discovered that her pocketbook had been moved from the couch into the bedroom, and that her See POLICE REPORTS on page 30 s» Wachovia Bank, N.A. is a member FDlC.

The problems, undetected during routine preflight electrical checks, were found during inspections trig * £rowlm|? gered after the launch of Columbia was jeopardized Is tW^° last month by an electrical short.

On Thursday, NASA managers formally postponed a supply mission to the unstaffed international space Cajun Cafe station aboard the shuttle Atlantis from December until late January to accommodate repairs to the other Chicago Hot Dogs orbiters.

Duke Professor at Duke and Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution Duke Manor • 383-6683 This course looks at ethnic politics both in the past Chapel Tower • 383-6677 and present. It concentrates on the political turmoil associated with the great waves of immigration from Duke Villa • 493-4509 the Revolution to the Civil War to the World War I and especially the aftermath of the latter. It explores the postwar use of NATO and multiculturalism to unite the fragmented whites, including the meaning of Bosnia in this respect. The course then focuses on the fourth wave of immigration that took on huge proportions in the 1990s and that promises to grow. It examines the quiet impact of the issue on presidential campaigns from 1988 to 2000, but especially asks how we can avoid the huge problems in the 21st century we faced in the 20th. Students will write a 20 page paper either on an ethnic group of their choice, past or present, or on the ethnic aspect of any domestic or foreign policy issue.
