Natl. shootings renew New owner takes over Refectory Duke’s security focus by Gloria Lloyd

by Jack Mercola THE CHRONICLE

Despite the recent influx of shootings nationwide, Duke students should feel safe on campus, police officials say. Recent tragedies such as the July 20 movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo. where 12 were killed and 57 were injured, the Aug. 5 shooting at a Sikh temple in Milwaukee, Wis. where six were killed and four were injured and the Aug. 15 shooting at a Virginia chapter of the Family Research Council have garnered massive media attention on the issue of single-perpetrator violence in the United States. Many active shooting incidents

have occurred on college campuses over the past decade, raising concerns about whether Duke is safe from such crimes, said sophomore Ngozi Esomonu. “Duke’s campus is open to the public—anybody,” she said. “A student or a nonstudent can come armed and pose a threat to the entire campus. I don’t know how I or other students would react.” In response to the recent shootings, the Duke University Police Department and the Durham Police Department took steps to improve their training programs this summer to better prepare SEE SHOOTING ON PAGE 5

THE CHRONICLE

Q&A with Mike Merson THE CHRONICLE

Dr. Michael Merson currently serves as director of the Duke Global Health Institute, but his experience in global health goes back years. In 1990, he became director of the World Health Organization’s Global Program on AIDS, charged with managing the global response to the burgeoning AIDS pandemic. This summer he wrote an article in the journal Health Affairs evaluating the key U.S. AIDS relief program, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, started by President George W. Bush. The Chronicle’s Julian Spector spoke with Merson about the development of AIDS treatment, his work in the field and the global response to PEPFAR. The Chronicle: What was the state of AIDS treatment when you become director of the WHO’s Global Program on AIDS in 1990? Mike Merson: Let’s remember that the first reported case of what turned out to be HIV was in 1981 and the virus was discovered in 1983 and we had an antibody test that detected it in 1985. By 1990, we’re at the end of the first decade and still learning how big of a problem it is. There is of course an increased awareness —particularly in the U.S.—because that’s where a lot of the initial cases were discovered, and a growing awareness in other parts of the world. Although it was nine years into the epidemic, not that many cases had occurred by then. It was in the millions, we don’t know exactly, but let’s say between five and 10 million. We were just learning about how widespread the disease would be. At that time the WHO program was starting and one of the real issues we had to deal with was raising awareness and dealing with the myths of how it spread. We knew by then it was primarily spread by unprotected sex, contaminated blood and therefore by injecting needles that were contaminated and mother-to-child transmission. One of the real issues we had to deal with then was stigma. There was a tremendous amount of stigma in being HIV-infected and having AIDS. Part of that was the way people with AIDS looked. They lost weight.... When you have a disease that makes people look [that way] and it’s caused by behaviors like unprotected sex, like drug use, you wind up

having quite a bit of stigma. And we didn’t have treatment. There was no effective treatment before 1996. Not everybody died quickly, some people were still alive, like Magic Johnson—long-term survivors— but it was deemed to be something that was fatal. The program that I ran at WHO, we had about 500 people working in about 80 countries around the world, based in headquarters in Geneva. We were mostly working with the many countries in the world that were beginning to face the disease and planning programs. There were also research efforts around development of a vaccine and development of a drug—and dealing with the media and providing information about the disease and how it was transmitted. It was the largest health program ever mounted by WHO. In 1995 the WHO program, as it was, was shut down, and UNAIDS [Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS] came into being and became the main United Nations program coordinating a global response. UNAIDS was a joint program of 10 UN agencies including WHO. TC: How has public awareness and the global health community’s understanding of the disease evolved since you entered the field? MM: Probably the biggest change was the discovery of antiretroviral therapy in 1996. It’s triple therapy—three drugs. If you give it three drugs, you’re less likely to develop resistance to the drugs. The discovery of the drug was a big breakthrough because it allowed people to live longer and it meant that if you had AIDS, it wasn’t necessarily going to be fatal. It took away a lot of the stigma and allowed us to give more hope to people who had the disease. We recently learned antiretroviral therapy can also prevent mother to child transmission—if you give it to the mother in time and to the baby. TC: Do the drugs offer a solution to the pandemic? MM: No, if we got into a situation where people took drugs all the time, we would get into resistance and the drugs would become much less effective. We can’t rely on drugs

was a five-year emergency plan to respond quickly to the spread of HIV, particularly in Africa but not only in Africa—in the countries with the most disease. It tripled our foreign aid for Africa, focused on treatment with antiretroviral drugs, on prevention using “ABC”—abstinence, be faithful, use condoms—and providing care for orphans and vulnerable children. It was a fairly comprehensive five-year program, $15 billion over five years. It was a bipartisan program, supported by the Democrats and Republicans. That was through 2008. The program remains very popular. In 2008, Congress decided to give more money to the program. President [Barack] Obama has been a big supporter as well as President Bush was. President Obama started something called the U.S. Global Health Initiative in 2009, in which he greatly expanded government support for AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, child health, maternal health. PEPFAR was part of that program. President Obama has very much continued the leadership that President Bush started for AIDS treatment and prevention. SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

We need to use condoms when you’re having multiple partners, [but] first of all don’t have multiple partners. The fewer partners one has the less risk of any sexually transmitted disease. We also know that male circumcision protects men from transmitting and protects women from getting the disease. It’s important to check all pregnant women for HIV to prevent transmission to the child. We also know we need to get everybody infected on treatment so they are less likely to transmit the virus to someone else. We call that comprehensive prevention. Prevention of HIV is not one thing. It’s a multiple approach. TC: What characterizes the U.S. approach to AIDS policy? MM: In 2003, President Bush announced PEPFAR in his State of the Union address. It

TC: How successful has PEPFAR been? MM: The U.S. government is not the only entity providing support for HIV—there’s the UN, the Gates Foundation, the British government, the European Union.... It’s hard to say that the U.S. government’s is better than anyone else’s support.... In general the support from all sources including PEPFAR has put about 6.6 million more [people] on antiretroviral treatment in low and middle-income countries. That’s a twentyfold increase since 2001. A lot of that has to do with PEPFAR. We know that the number of new infections of HIV has declined by about 20 percent since 1997. We know the number of deaths has declined by about 20 percent since 2005. The epidemic is far from over. For every person who dies of AIDS, there are about two new people who are infected in the world. We have a long way to go to get it under control, but things are better. That’s due to global response, but PEPFAR has played a major role in the global response. We should be proud as a country that we’ve had a role in that.

Bill raises debate on Student runs ‘two-ply’ business chimp lab research by Margot Tuchler THE CHRONICLE

by Ashley Mooney THE CHRONICLE

A bill proposed to protect laboratory apes and lower costs faces mixed support in the scientific community, even as major research organizations have deemed chimpanzee research largely unnecessary. The Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act proposes ending laboratory research on chimpanzees. Under the bill, federally-owned chimps will retire to sanctuaries after current research grants have phased out. Non-invasive research in sanctuaries, zoos and other free-ranging facilities will still be permitted. “The researchers using chimpanzees [in labs] are not producing useful, interesting information to the medical community and it’s costing literally tens of millions of dollars to produce mediocre science,” said Brian Hare, associate professor of evolutionary anthropology and director of the Hominoid Psychology Research Group. “The bill will end that and then that money can be used for other researchers who are actually doing great jobs.” In 2011, the Institutes of

Medicine released a report that concluded that chimpanzees are not necessary for most biomedical research. This report fueled arguments supporting the bill. The Act passed the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in July and is in a review process in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Since 2012 is the second year of a two-year Congress, however, the process of passing the bill will have to restart in January if it has not passed by then. A clause was added to the bill in committee stating that chimps can be reintroduced into research if there is an unexpected human health threat that requires chimpanzee research. This addition is intended to address fears that the Act will take the option for lab research off of the table entirely, Conlee said. Disputed utility The Association of American Universities, which is comprised of 61 universities, including Duke, released a statement officially opposing the Act. The SEE CHIMPS ON PAGE 8

Sophomore Bryan Silverman is wiping away traditional forms of advertising. Star Toilet Paper, founded in 2010 by Silverman and his brother Jordan, prints advertisements and coupons on toilet paper that is distributed for free to public venues. Jordan, a graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, came up with the idea in 2009, and he and Bryan began developing their company before officially launching it in fall 2010. Bryan said he utilized opportunities at Duke to develop his company. “Duke offers a ton of entrepreneurship opportunities— an incubator and an entrepreneurial network,” he said. “At the same time, the triangle area is a great area for startups.” Bryan participated in the Duke Start-Up Challenge, an entrepreneurship competition, where he became a finalist in the Elevator Pitch Competition—a component of the Challenge that awards cash prizes to finalists so that they can pursue their ideas. After watching Bryan’s pitch, Martha Reeves, visiting professor of markets and management studies, approached Bryan and asked him to participate in a semester-long project being

done in her class, SOCIOL 358: Markets and Marketing. Reeves said students working on the project devised a marketing strategy for a specific product, including how to introduce it to potential clients. Bryan focused on Star Toilet Paper with a group of students in the class. The Star Toilet Paper business model is self-described as “two-ply”—first the company secures venues to distribute the toilet paper and then advertisers, once acquired, are given the opportunity to target their ads based on the demographics

of each venue. The toilet paper advertisements feature coupons and quick response codes, both of which can be accessed online to be printed out and shared via social media, Bryan said. “The advantage of this—other than ease for the consumer and not having to bring in toilet paper as a coupon—is that they provide important backend metrics that most forms of print advertising cannot measure,” he said. “We are able to track the number of downloads SEE TOILET PAPER ON PAGE 5

Summer news wrap-up from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE In mid-July, Duke Law School received a $5 million gift from Stanley Star, Law ’61, and his wife Elizabeth Star. The donation will be used to establish three full-tuition scholarships for outstanding Duke Law students and create a matching gift fund designed to prompt other donors to give to the law school’s financial aid programs. Star, the former principal of Cliffstar Corp., said he hopes to inspire others with the donation. This is the latest in a line of gifts to the Law School from the Stars. In 2004, the

Stars gave $3 million to construct Star Commons, a community space in the Law School building, and in 2011, they donated $5 million to help create four new professorships. Of the total donation, $3 million will be allocated to support fulltuition scholarships while the rest will be used to establish the Star Challenge—a matching fund whose aim is to encourage other donors to establish endowed financial aid funds. The Star Challenge will match new gifts for endowed scholarship and fellowship funds at the Law School by providing $1 for every $2 committed.

For Blue Devils concerned with how their school stacks up, the Medical Center ranks eighth best in the updated U.S. News & World Reports released July 16. Duke, pegged as the best hospital in North Carolina, was nationally ranked in 13 of 16 specialty areas. The magazine evaluated 16 specialties at each hospital to come up with the overall rankings. Other top hospitals included: Massachusetts General, displacing Johns Hopkins as the top-ranked facility; Johns Hopkins, ranked second; and the New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, ranked 7th. It is the 23rd consecutive year that the magazine has ranked Duke among the nation’s top medical centers. The new dean of Duke Chapel was announced in July: Reverend Dr. Luke Powery, who will come from Princeton Theological Seminary to become the first black dean of the Chapel. Beginning Sept. 1, Powery will succeed Samuel Wells—dean of the Chapel for seven years—who returned to England this summer to become vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London. Powery was selected by a

14-member search committee of faculty, students and congregation members. In the Fall, the University will embark on a yearlong celebration of the first five black classmates who entered Duke in 1963—the year Duke desegregated. The L. Powery celebration succeeds a fund established by Jack Bovender, Trinity ‘67, and his wife Barbara Bovender in April. Bovender, vice chair of the Board of Trustees and Health Administration ‘69, graduated in the first desegregated class at Duke. The $1 million scholarship will support the University’s efforts to promote diversity on and off campus. President Brodhead announced the scholarship during the reunion for the class of 1967 held in April. Three of the five African American undergraduates—Gene Kendall, Wilhelmina Reuben-Cooke and Nathaniel White—were present at the reunion. The remaining two members—Mary Harris and Cassandra Rush—are deceased.

officers to respond to active shooter situations, DUPD Chief John Dailey wrote in an email Sunday. Additional preventative measures were implemented to protect the Duke community. “For a number of years, all North Carolina law enforcement agencies, including the DUPD, have been required to conduct state-developed training to respond to active shooters,” he said. The DUPD also offers safety videos and training sessions to members of the Duke community—including students, general staff and health care staff—to raise awareness about important safety tactics in situations involving an active shooter. Despite the availability of such programs that are specifically tailored to students, some students have noted a lack of communication between the student body and those in charge of safety. “I definitely do feel safe on campus,” said sophomore Cayley Larimer. “I see police and security cars patrolling campus often, but I don’t think students consider the event of a shooter on campus.... I would say we’re not very prepared. I wouldn’t really know what to do.” The training programs are available to all groups and individuals who request training, but they are not mandatory, Dailey said. He acknowledged that most requests come from employees, not students. Larimer added that she thinks the student body would benefit from a more steady dialogue between the police and Duke community on what to do in the case of an active shooter on campus. “Students would be willing to learn how to keep themselves and their peers safe,” she said. “We want to make the community a better and safer place. Times like [freshman orientation] would be a good opportunity to teach students what to do.” Esomonu said many students would not know how to protect themselves if confronted with an active shooter, adding that there should be a mandatory training session during orientation week that would help prepare first-year students to respond to such threats. Although he did not share specifics on DUPD’s response plan, Dailey said getting away from the shooter is the most important safety tactic for people on campus. “The [Federal Emergency Management Agency] recommends that individuals who find themselves in an active violence situation should first attempt to evacuate,” he said. Dailey added that proactive preventative measures, such as the North Carolina state law prohibiting concealed weapons on university campuses, are the best ways to keep campuses safe from shooters. “Prevention is clearly the goal. Duke has a number of departments on campus and in the hospital that meet regularly and coordinate daily to share information,” Dailey noted.

and how many times each coupon is shared via the coupon codes.” Although Star Toilet Paper is still being developed, the Silvermans have already secured venues and advertisers. One advertiser is ProSwing Baseball and Softball Training Center, which has locations in Mount Kisco and Port Chester, New York. Matt Maher, director of marketing, for ProSwing, said he did not plan on advertising with Star because his company focuses on digital advertising, but was sold when he met Bryan face-to-face. “The [idea] of toilet paper is innovative enough, and I really try to do outside-the-box advertising here,” Maher said. “It’s a really cool idea.... You see thousands of ads a day—you’ve got to get an ad that stands out a little, and toilet paper definitely stands out.” ProSwing’s advertisements will be in the Port ChesterRye Brook Public Library. Maher said he worked with Bryan to design two different ads—one for the women’s restroom and one for the men’s.

The library will also feature advertisements for BuzzPotential, a company that provides marketing and communication services for small businesses. Mike Dardano, communications executive at BuzzPotential, said his clients were not originally interested in advertising with Star. However, he noted that the library serves many small business owners by providing free resources for them, so it would be a good place to reach out to potential new clients. In addition to the library, Star has secured a bowling alley, a dance studio and an apartment complex as venues. The Silvermans’ company currently charges $99 for 20,000 ads, but hopes to sell more ads at a time— for example, $1,000 for 200,000 ads—as the company grows. Bryan recently garnered broader exposure for his idea when he was named one of five finalists in Entrepreneurship Magazine’s Entrepreneur of 2012 contest in the college category. The contest depends on judging and online votes and the winner will gain $235,000 worth of capital as well as publicity for the company.

REFECTORY from page 1 around Durham, but not on campus. For the past seven years, the Divinity Refectory was a popular dining location among students and faculty for its food, as well as its local, sustainable practices. Bon Vivant Catering closed operations at the Divinity Refectory following a contract dispute in which Hall refused to raise the commission paid to Duke Dining from 10 percent to 15 percent. A trademark debate Hall said she has trademarked the Refectory name. “We’ve been in business with [the name] for seven years and have built a great following,” she said. “The trademarked name is on our truck, our café on [Durham Chapel Hill] Boulevard, and on the Law School.” The term “refectory” is defined as a communal area used for dining in an educational or religious institution. Rick Johnson, vice president of housing and dining, was not at Duke when the Divinity Refectory opened in 2005, but he said the University owns the name. “There’s no trademark, because the last vendor didn’t create the name,” Johnson said. “It was named before the last vendor was even in the building. The name Refectory was created by the Divinity School. And with the law school, the last vendor took that name and brought it over there.” Eder, who made a bid to operate the venue in 2005 as well as this past summer, said she had her own alternative name prepared but was told both times the name for the restaurant would be the Refectory.

Competing on campus The familiar green walls of the Refectory Café have now given way to colors inspired by apples and oranges chosen. Eder has also displayed artwork by Duke students and local Durham artists. Johnson said he has heard positive feedback on the food and the service during the three weeks in which Core Catering has operated the Refectory, and business appears to be as good as before. “This transition is super,” he said. “It seems like it’s the same amount of business right now. What will be a better comparison is sometime in the Fall, once they’re fully open and students have returned.” Hall said her Law School location has experienced a “big bump” in business, as regulars moved their business from the Divinity School to the Law School. She said she anticipates a further spike at the Law School location as students return for the academic year. As an additional incentive, coupons given out during the last week Bon Vivant operated at the Divinity location will provide a 10 percent discount in September at the law school and off-campus Refectory locations, Hall added. Johnson and Eder said the Divinity Refectory now charges less for some items than the Refectory Café under Bon Vivant Catering did, although they did not cite specific pricing differences. “The prices are very similar,” Johnson said. “They’ve tried to actually hold the prices down or lower them on some items to make the Refectory more affordable for [Divinity] graduate students, and I think that’s going to be very successful.” During contract negotiations last Spring, Hall said she could not keep her sustainable practices—which include a

Say good-bye to the Mac Dog. Pauly Dogs will no longer occupy the Bryan Center Plaza, said founder and owner Paul Konstanzer. Konstanzer cited personal reasons as the cause for his departure, noting that he will be moving to the Outer Banks to spend time with his mother. He added that he tried to find someone else to run the restaurant as a franchise, but his plan did not come to fruition. Konstanzer noted that the commission rate to Duke Dining, which increased to 15 percent, did not contribute to his decision to leave. “My decision was based on my life,” he said. Pauly Dogs gained recognition as one of the nation’s 32 best hot dog joints in a 2011 contest. —from staff reports year-round living wage with benefits for employees, as well as purchasing from local farmers—and pay a 50 percent higher commission rate to Duke Dining. Eder said she cannot guarantee at this time that her employees will be able to keep their jobs year-round, but she hopes the new restaurant does well enough that they will be employed year-round. Unanimous selection A committee made of representatives from the Divinity School, student body, and Dining Services selected Eder unanimously over the summer in a competitive bidding process, which included samples of food from all applicants. All the applicants in the bidding process said they could maintain the same local and sustainable program as Hall had and pay the higher commission, Johnson said. Eder placed a bid in 2005, but lost to Bon Vivant Catering. Eder then worked for Bon Vivant Catering at the Refectory for four years before resigning in 2010 to pursue other opportunities. She started Core Catering two years ago. “I had originally bid to open the Divinity Refectory when Bon Vivant bid,” she said. “And they made the right choice at the time to give the contract to Bon

Vivant, and I was completely supportive of that choice they made.” The experience with Refectory operations helped Core Catering seal the winning bid, although the decision was a close call with a second vendor, Johnson said. “There was a great comfort level, because Core knew the students, knew the operations, the expectations, and the food was great,” he said. “And that’s what carried the day.” In total, Core Catering has hired six new employees since being granted the contract to operate at the Divinity School, with plans to hire more as business grows, Eder said. New items While some aspects will remain the same under new management, Johnson said students will also find new food items devised by Core Catering. Eder said the Refectory serves great food, and she has worked to make new twists on old favorites that students might still expect in the new cafe.

For example, with Core Catering, the Divinity Refectory’s classic tomato soup will be a tomato basil soup, with fresh basil from a Pittsboro farmer, Eder noted. “For our grilled cheese, we have local bread, and we’ve changed the cheeses that we’re using,” she added. “But it’s still a great tomato soup and grilled cheese.” Instead of dal, an Indian lentil dish, the new Divinity Refectory will serve a vegan vegetable curry and add more vegan and gluten-free deserts. “We’re increasing our vegan options because we just feel that it is a way that the younger audience is headed,” Eder said. “We’d like to exceed their expectations.” Eder noted that Core Catering obtains ingredients from the South Durham Farmer’s Market and East Carolina Organics, which is the same consortium of local growers used by Bon Vivant Catering. Eder’s company also has a large walk-in cooler and freezer in its catering kitchen that will allow the company to make bulk purchases from local farmers to keep prices down.

He added that the AAU does not poll the individual institutions for their stance on an issue, but rather takes the general community opinion. “Because we don’t do that kind of research there may be people with some generic concerns but it’s just not an institutional issue,” Vick said. “It doesn’t affect Duke.” The National Institutes of Health, however, have already halted new funding for chimpanzee research shortly after the IOM released their report, Conlee said. “It doesn’t make sense to keep this huge infrastructure that’s extremely expensive when we can take that money and invest in alternatives that have wider

uses,” Conlee said. “Put those resources into human based alternatives that will give us better results.” Conlee said that the government would still save money over time, taking construction of new sanctuary space into account. Labs currently receive an average of $60 a day to maintain chimpanzees in “deficient” environments, which compares to the $41 a day that sanctuaries need to provide “better care,” she said. Last of the lab chimps The United States, Hare noted, is currently the only country that maintains a laboratory chimpanzee population. Since 1990, chimps in the wild are considered endangered whereas captive chimpanzees have been listed as threatened. This means that captive chimpanzees can be used in research that would otherwise be illegal according to the Endangered Species Act. They are currently the only species with this type of listing, Conlee said. “[The distinction between captive and wild chimpanzees] was put into place largely in response to the biomedical community saying, ‘we need to continue to use chimpanzees,’” Conlee said. “An endangered status wouldn’t have allowed that.” Laboratory chimpanzees lead drastically different lifestyles than their counterparts in the wild. The U.S. Department of Agriculture permits chimpanzees to live in cages that are the size of a small elevator for the duration of the research. Anne Pusey, chair and James B. Duke Professor of evolutionary anthropology,

added that the social interactions of captive chimpanzees are far different from the rich social lives they lead in the wild. This difference can be seen in captive chimps’ behavior around humans, such as throwing feces and screaming. “The minimum requirement for cages for chimpanzees is absolutely appalling—it’s an absolute embarrassment to our country,” Hare said. “That is just 100 percent wrong—it’s not good for science and it’s certainly not good for the chimpanzees.” Making ‘science better’ Although opponents of the bill argue that removing chimpanzees from laboratories will hurt science, many researchers believe it will help their science move forward, Hare said. “People who are against this bill are trying to argue that this is non-scientists trying to stop science. That is not what this bill will do—it will make science better,” Hare said. “The only people who [argue this] either don’t work with chimpanzees or are the handful of people who are about to retire and are desperate because they know they’ve been doing mediocre science.” Matthew Bailey, vice president of the National Academy for Biomedical Research—an organization that does not support the passage of the bill—could not be reached for comment in time for publication. Although the bill will not affect Duke’s current research, Hare noted that the University is well situated to take advantage of increased funding for non-laboratory chimpanzee research.

Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Blue Devil divers Abby Johnston and Nick McCrory posed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport last week upon returning from the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Krzyzewski leads the United States to second consecutive Olympic basketball gold medal by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE

The United States men’s basketball national team was expected to earn gold in London. But when Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewsi, who coaches the U.S. team, jumped for joy three times in the final minute of the championship game, he showed those expectations took nothing away from the excitement. The Americans defeated Spain 107-100 in the championship game at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, giving Krzyzewski his second gold medal in as many tries as the head coach of the squad that was heavily favored to repeat after winning at the 2008 Olympic Games in Bejing. “It’s more excitement, in the last couple minutes. I don’t think my reactions on the sidelines were out of relief,” Krzyzewski said upon his arrival at Raleigh-Durham International Airport last week. “It was like, ‘Whoa, this is unbelievable.’” The seven-point victory in the goldmedal game was just one of two games in which the undefeated American squad allowed its opponent to finish within single digits. During the course of their eight games, they averaged a 32.1-point margin of victory. Since becoming the head coach of the team in 2005, Krzyzewski has accumulated a 62-1 record, earning two Olympic gold medals and another title at the world

basketball championships in 2010. The 2008 Olympic squad was nicknamed “The Redeem Team,” a play off 1992’s “Dream Team,” after the 2004 Olympic team failed to win gold for the first time since 1988, prior to the Dream Team. Krzyzewski has stated repeatedly he plans to step down from his position as head coach, though he intends to remain involved with the U.S. basketball program. “I’m really sure. This is a huge a commitment. I thank Duke University, [President Richard] Brodhead, [Director of Athletics] Kevin White [and] Joe Alleva before him for allowing me the opportunity to do this,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s time to pass the baton without letting it drop.” But Krzyzewski was not alone in representing Duke basketball while in London. He was joined by his top two assistants, Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski, who helped coach the team and scout opponents. Although they were not the team’s official assistant coaches, which included Syrcuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim, they were integral to running practices during the tune-up period in July and during the Olympics. Krzyzewski told an anecdote in which Collins and Wojciechowski could not get into practice one day because they were SEE KRZYZEWSKI ON PAGE 15

Johnston and McCrory earn America’s first Olympic medals in synchronized diving by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE

After they came, saw and conquered in London, Abby Johnston and Nick McCrory received a hero’s welcome to go along with their Olympic medals. Johnston and McCrory returned to the United States last week to a crowd of friends, fans and reporters at Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The pair were the first divers in Duke history to qualify for the Olympic Games. “It was amazing to feel that support. I really wasn’t expecting that much. I was just walking to baggage claim thinking that I was going to go home and have a quiet night,” McCrory said. “I knew there was going to be some media stuff, but to that degree I had no idea. It was really cool. It was great to feel the support and see some of my friends and family who came out to see me at the airport. I really felt that support the entire time I was in London as well.” Johnston and McCrory earned the first U.S. diving medals since 2000 when Johnston and her partner, Kelci Bryant, won the silver medal in the women’s synchronized 3-meter springboard event. McCrory and his diving partner, David Boudia, followed suit the next day when they took bronze in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform competition. The medals were the first ever for the U.S. in synchronized diving.

“It was really great to be a part of that. You had that feeling that the teams, the way we worked together, everyone had this sense that good things were going to happen,” Johnston said. “Kelci and I started it off with the silver medal and got the ball rolling. It was really exciting to watch the rest of my team perform really well and make history.” In addition to his bronze in the synchronized competition, McCrory also competed individually in the men’s 10-meter platform, making it to the final round and finishing ninth. He watched as Boudia, now his opponent, stunned Qiu Bo of China, the event’s favorite, and local heartthrob Tom Daley of Great Britain, to take the United States’ first gold medal from the platform since Greg Louganis at the 1988 Olympic Games. McCrory would have loved to earn a gold medal of his own, but the bronze held a special significance for the McCrory family. Nick finally had a bronze medal to match his uncle, Gordon Downie, who earned a bronze for Great Britain in the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. A few days before McCrory was set to compete in the Olympics for the first time, he had dinner with Downie, sharing a special moment between Olympians. SEE DIVERS ON PAGE 14

Blue Devils set Elon Phoenix aflame in 8-0 rout by Tim Visutipol THE CHRONICLE

Coming off a 4-1 win at William and Mary, Duke held its home opener in a damp Koskinen Stadium looking to get its second win of the weekend. Playing against an Elon team, which started a nongoalie between the pipes, the No. 2 Blue Devils were able to do just that, recording an 8-0 victory against a hapless Phoenix defense. “I feel bad for Elon,� Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “They have a number of injuries. They have a field player in goal. Their two goalkeepers were out.� The inexperience of Catherine Brinkman, the Phoenix goalie, was apparent as many of the goals were a result of her mistakes. But it would have taken a heroic performance from her to stop the Blue Devils (2-0-0), who controlled the game from start to finish, tallying 32 shots while allowing only one by Elon (0-1-1), which was not on target. Duke’s assault began early, with two minutes barely on the clock, when junior Kaitlyn Kerr latched onto a defense-splitting through ball from Kim DeCesare to put the Blue Devils ahead. Laura Weinberg then set up Gilda Doria, before DeCesare would register the first of her two goals, placing Duke 3-0 ahead at the half. “We worked hard as a team,� DeCesare said. “We achieved our goals and we felt good about it.� Weinberg then got on the scoresheet with two quick strikes after the break. These were quite fortunate, with one deflecting off a defender and the other squirming under the body of Brinkman. DeCesare then completed her pair of goals, before sophomore Katie Trees capped off the scoring with two goals within the space of eight minutes. The Blue Devils’ control of the game allowed every single member of their roster to play, even playing all three goalkeepers. “That’s two games in a row that we’ve been able to

get everybody in,� Church said. “It’s great. These are big minutes for a lot of players. They can come back and help us down the road. We kept our intensity, and we kept our work rate up the whole time, and it was a good weekend for us.� DeCesare, who collected a career-high six points from her two goals and two assists in the game, is playing in a more advanced role than in previous seasons.

“I love it,� she said. “I just think as long as I’m getting some time I’m happy. So wherever I need to be, that’s where I adapt to.� The Blue Devils are missing two key players from last season in Kelly Cobb and Mollie Pathman, who began play this weekend for the U-20 US national team.

Pathman and Cobb set to play in Japan by Matt Pun THE CHRONICLE

Mollie Pathman, left, and Kelly Cobb, right, are missing the start to their Duke season while playing for the United States U-20 team in Japan.

}

When No. 2 Duke took the field for its first two games of the season, two notable Blue Devils were missing from the lineup. Over 7,000 miles away from the cozy confines of Koskinen Stadium, junior Mollie Pathman and sophomore Kelly Cobb have been preparing to compete in the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Hiroshima, Japan. Their opening round game was Monday against Ghana. The two Duke stars earned selections to the 21-player U.S. national team roster Aug. 2 and traveled to Japan on Aug. 10 to train for the tournament. For Pathman, it will be a second chance at gold in the world’s premiere youth tournament. At the last tournament—held in Berlin in 2010—she came off the bench for two games. The U.S., however, lost in its first match of the knockout round, falling in a penalty shootout to Nigeria. During the past year, Pathman—the third-leading scorer for the Blue Devils last season—has solidified her role as the starting left back for the U-20 team. She served as team captain in the women’s U-20 CONCACAF tournament this March, leading them to win the tournament and earn a World Cup bid. “We’ve put in a lot of work over the past few years, and we’re really confident in how we’re looking now,” Pathman said. Cobb—who set Duke’s freshman record with 11 goals last season—made the roster after recovering from surgery to her left ankle in January. The 19-year old trained with the U-20 national team in 2011 and received an invitation to train with the team earlier in 2012 but could not participate due to her injury. She returned to U-20 training for the team’s final event before World Cup roster selection—a two-week camp in Bradenton, Fla. during July. “I hadn’t been in for a while because of my ankle surgery in January, so I was a little bit nervous going in,” Cobb said. “I think when you go to camps like that, all you can do is give it your best and learn from the coaches and players there.”

Abby Johnston and Nick McCrory earned silver and bronze mdedals, respectively, at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and showcased their hardware.

“It’s just really cool having that connection in the first place. It almost seemed like a sign that I was going to walk away from the Olympics with a medal, and a bronze at that,” McCrory said. For the 21-year-old McCrory, the Olympics were about much more than competing. He said some of his favorite memories of the Games came far away from the diving well. “Being in the Olympic environment, you hear so much about the Olympics and what to expect, and you form this image in your mind what it’s going to be like. But you never know what it’s like until you go there,” McCrory said. “It takes you by surprise how epic everything is. The [Olympic] Village was amazing, and all of the venues were incredible.” After taking time away from school last year to train for the Olympic Trials, Johnston and McCrory will return to Duke this Fall for the first time in more than a year. Now Olympic medalists, they look forward to rejoining their classmates and concentrating on their studies in Durham. “I’m so happy to be coming back to Duke. I can’t wait,” McCrory said. “We’re going to be regular students for a little while.” Addressing the media alongside Duke men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who led the U.S. to a second consecutive gold medal at the London Games, McCrory admitted that he and Johnston were a bit star struck when they shared a moment with the Blue Devil coach at the airport. “When we talked to him it was just so cool. He was following our progress at the Olympics and it felt like we were such a team, because we really were representing Duke and I felt so proud to be doing that,” McCrory said. “It just felt really awesome to be sharing that with Coach K.”

She’s one of my best friends, so it’s great to have her alongside me.” The tournament will last until Sep. 8, so the two Blue Devils will likely miss at least seven regular season matches and return in time for the start of ACC play when Duke heads to Florida State Sep. 13. In order to advance to the quarterfinals matches on Aug. 30 or 31, the U.S. will need to finish in the top two of Group D. After playing Ghana Monday, the U.S. will continue pool play with a match against China Aug. 23 at 6 a.m. Then in a battle of two-time tournament winners, the U.S. will take on reigning champion Germany Aug. 27 at 3 a.m. Both matches will also be shown on ESPNU and ESPN3. “It’s such an honor every time I get to put on the USA jersey and get to compete for a chance to be the best in the world,” Pathman said. “It’s really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Church, however, is glad players are stepping up to fill that void and not making excuses about their absence. While it was important for key figures from last season to do so, with Kerr, Weinberg, Doria and DeCesare influencing the game, Church was impressed with the impact of the other players, singling out Trees and freshman Cassie Pecht for their performance over the weekend. “[Pecht’s] a great little player,” Church said. “She’s tricky, she runs at players…. She’s going to see a lot of minutes here at Duke.” The Blue Devils will continue their season against tougher competition, starting with a game against Montreal Friday before playing Florida Sunday. “Twelve goals… we probably lead the nation,” Church said. “I don’t know if that’ll keep up.”

Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski spoke to the media at Raleigh-Durham International Airport after returning from London.

KRZYZEWSKI from page 9 not credentialed as assistant coaches and the ensuing difficulty of running a practice without them. The duties were left to Krzyzewski, Boeheim and his other two assistants, Nate McMillan and Mike D’Antoni. “It was not good. We all had great ideas. It was like a bunch of old professors,” Krzyzewski said. “So we’re trying to run the drills and the players are laughing. Chris Paul and LeBron [James] pushed us out of the way and said ‘We know the drills. We’ll run them.’” With Krzyzewski, Collins and Wojciechowski occupied, Duke basketball assistant coaches Jeff Capel and Nate

James marshalled the Blue Devil recruiting efforts during the summer. Throughout the tournament, Krzyzewski earned praise from his squad of NBA stars, which included just one player without professional experience, Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, who was selected No. 1 in this year’s NBA Draft. But with Krzyzewski preparing to begin his 33rd season as Duke’s head coach, he learned that the team’s cohesion was just as important as its talent. “Everybody worked as a team—the cooperation of our players was unbelievable. We were [not only] the most athletic [team], but the most together one, really. Our guys really got along,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s such an honor to win this thing and the way they won it makes it even better.”

turned out to be fraudulent. However, now that universities like Princeton and UPenn have joined the game, an elite niche has been created. Harvard and M.I.T. are also moving online through a different partnership called edX. The Internet is shaking up higher education—just as it has destabilized many other fields—and the major players are scrambling to adapt. But Duke must remember that quality ultimately achieves influence and recognition, not the speed with which one can follow a trend. If Duke wants to pursue online learning, it must do so in the right way. What exactly constitutes high-quality online coursework has yet to be seen. However, it can safely be said that the simple trans-

mission of knowledge will not suffice. Any student who has had a professor post lecture slides on Blackboard knows that— while they can help one cram for a test—they are no substitute for a positive classroom experience. Real learning is the result of a complex emotional and social process. It starts with the personalities of one’s professor and peers, that inspire one to truly care about the material. It involves countless interpersonal details—a gesture, a question, a clarification, a piece of praise—along the way. And it ends with a fair and effective assessment, the heroic culmination of a semester’s worth of effort. These elements are especially vital for humanities courses, which rely on a

strong classroom community to stimulate learning. It is a mightily ambitious goal for a website to recreate the absorbing quality of an actual Duke class. However, if the Internet has taught us anything, it is that remarkable things are possible. Online learning has already attracted top-tier universities and potentially hundreds of millions of students. The next step is to create the most innovative educational platform possible, one that emphasizes the learning process as well as the academic content. If Coursera can create groundbreaking online techniques for interactive lectures, one-on-one tutoring, collaborative projects and genuine assessment, then online learning may indeed be the way of the future.

Ryan’s plan is not what we think it is

W

ith a simple stroke of a pen, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney captivated Tea Party followers by choosing a man whom many Republicans respect as the intellectual leader of the movement toward small government. With his selection of Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate, Romney provided Democratic leaders a blank check to criticize the duo. The Obama campaign’s willingness to condemn Ryan’s economic plan without considering its potential results, however, could be their own undoing. I am not only a critic of some aspects of Ryan’s plan but also of the Democrats’ attempts at distorting it. Steve Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, mirrored the somewhat inaccurate claims put forth by the Obama campaign when he stated that the Republican bud- mousa alshanteer get puts “millionaires first and you don’t say? Medicare and the middle class last.” Israel’s claim that Republicans favor millionaires over the majority of Americans is flat-out wrong. Instead, Romney’s choice shows us that he is serious about reinforcing our country’s economy, tackling the debt that has risen sharply under Obama’s current policies and returning to a trail of affluence and safety. The Obama campaign has taken to dispersing false claims about Ryan’s plan by stating that he “would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system” and that he “proposed an additional $250,000 tax cut for millionaires.” What the Obama campaign doesn’t want you to know is that Ryan’s proposal would not “end Medicare as we know it.” Instead, Medicare would remain as is for seniors while younger citizens would have the possibility to receive a fixed amount of “premium support” to purchase private insurance. The next generation of seniors, classified now as 55 or younger, would be provided a government-issued voucher rather than be enrolled in a system that grants everyone the same benefits. They would be given the option to either buy private insurance policies or enroll in traditional Medicare. Amid concerns over rising health care costs, Ryan has stated that he would limit the rate of spending increases to no more than half a percentage point above the overall rate of economic growth. Plus, he plans to gradually lift the Medicare eligibility age by two years, from 65 to 67, by 2034, thus curtailing federal spending. Ryan’s plan will get us back on the right track toward fixing our economy. His approach would give seniors the incentive to shop for cheaper plans and allow private health companies to compete, thus driving down costs. Not only have Obama and Biden misrepresented Ryan’s plan for Medicare, but they’ve distorted his taxation policies as well. The claim that Ryan proposed an additional cut of $250,000 for millionaires is, quite frankly, false and overplayed. Ryan’s plan would replace the current tax structure with one that would consist of just two taxation brackets, 25 percent and 10 percent. Though this cuts the top rate from 35 percent, it doesn’t quite amount to what the Obama campaign preaches. In fact, Ryan has vowed to get rid of popular tax breaks for company-provided health insurance, loan interest, state and municipal taxes and retirement investments, as well as special interest loopholes, which tend to largely benefit the “millionaires” that the Democrats mention. Though I don’t necessarily agree with the statements made by the Obama administration, I find some points that I don’t agree with coming out of the Romney-Ryan ticket as well. Nevertheless, it’s our job as college students to research the claims made by opposing parties and either prove or refute them. It’s easy to consider the claims of one side while disregarding the claims of the other. We should consider the arguments of both candidates and ultimately vote for the one that represents our views the best. Sure, we’re going to disagree with some things, but in all honestly, it’s almost impossible to agree with any candidate 100 percent of the time. But when we consider the views of both candidates, we must make a habit of ridding ourselves of prior biases and paying attention to the issues that really matter. Ryan’s economic plan is not what it has been made out to be, and I hope that I’m not the only one who realizes that. Mousa Alshanteer is a Trinity freshman.

Breakfast all day, Indian, Chinese, sushi, Great Hall stir fry, pizza and a daunting salad bar are always available in addition to daily specials. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a quick snack or a full meal, Great Hall can satisfy even the pickiest eaters.

and be seen. In fact, if you run into fewer than 10 acquaintances on your trip for some warm bleu cheese chips (an absolute treat), you are probably missing an event with free food. Aside from awkward encounters with former hookups, the atmosphere is also perfect for chatting about your day and plans for the night with the friends you came with. So grab a bowl of thick tomato bisque and enjoy some people watching on the plaza with a delicious, hearty meal.

Best Late-Night Best Place to Have a Social Meal The Loop Conveniently located in the West Union Building, The Loop is a prime location for grabbing a bite between classes The Loop on West Campus. The selection of freshly made wraps and sandwiches ranges from bacon cheeseburgers to ahi tuna. A classic chicken caesar salad is also a must. Watch out, however, for long lines during the lunch hour and slower prep time than typical fast food. One of the most popular dining establishments on campus, The Loop is a place to see

Pitchfork Provisions When much of campus appears deserted at 2 a.m. on weekend nights, Pitchfork Provisions is a reliable source of Pitchfork Provisions both good food and especially lively company. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open 24 hours, but is at its best after midnight, when it offers breakfast food as well as its 24-hour specialties, including wings, tacos and the haystackâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;fries topped with jalapenos, bacon, cheddar cheese and gravy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not cheap, but in the wee hours it is immensely satisfying. During more common dining times, Pitchfork Provisions is also a great choice for salads and sandwiches, offering

some more interesting options.

Best Place for Your Sweet Tooth Saladelia @ The Perk Located in von der Heyden Pavilion at the entrance to Perkins Library, Saladelia (more comThe Perk monly referred to as von der Heyden or The Perk) is the perfect place to satisfy your craving for a sweet snack.

Perkins Library, talking is allowed here, so don’t be embarrassed to savor your desserts out loud.

Best Place to Eat on the Run Alpine Bagels Sure, the winding line during brunch hours resembles a queue for a Disney ride. But for many students, the staple Alpine Bagels morning bagel is well worth the wait. For just a small bit of dough— pun intended—you get a full, portable breakfast, lunch or snack that will keep you full for the walks across campus. In the morning, customers stand in line for their banana walnut bagel with honey raisin cream cheese or a Rise-n-Shine, the classic bagel with an egg combo. Others head toward the front of the West Union Building to get their fro-yo fix. In addition to bagels and lunch meat sandwiches, Alpine Bagels serves up its ever-popular light treat in a rotating selection of flavors and with an array of toppings. This campus eatery also offers several healthy wraps including the famous Presidential Pardon—with sliced turkey, roasted peppers and a roasted tangy sauce. For those with big appetities, opt for the Butch’s “Mile High” Club which features turkey, bacon, lettuce and crunch veggies. If you’re vegetarian, be sure to check out one of the salads with bleu cheese, walnuts and dried cranberries. Although the restaurant’s signature bagels do not come close to those that students from New York and New Jersey may be familiar with, they are still filling and are a satisfying alternative to a sit-down meal when you’re on the run.

Best Place to Meet a Pratt-star Twinnie’s Located at the crossroads between Trinity and Pratt, Twinnie’s brings the bet of both worlds together. English and biomedical engineering majors may not share the same academic passions, but they both share a hankering for fresh tuna salad wraps and

Starbucks coffee. This is the only campus eatery that serves Starbucks, so be sure to arrive here before the lunchtime rush, or be prepared to wait in a long line. So for a midday trip before science class or a meeting with your engineering professor, Twinnie’s is the perfect atmosphere to mitigate the stress induced by a tough exam. Whether you need to get your hands on that first cup of java or simply need to grab some grub before the walk back to the real West Campus, Twinnie’s is a great stop to rest your feet. Don’t forget to grab a sweet treat after your meal to raise your Chemistry grade or simply have a provision to hold you over until you reach the Chapel. Those over

Best Burrito after 3 a.m.

Best Place to Dine Like an Adult Plate and Pitchfork Although the service is notoriously slow and a steak may occasionally appear on your plate in place of salmon, Plate & Pitchfork Plate and Pitchfork is the best way to escape the monotony of campus dining while staying just a short walk from your dorm room. The Faculty Commons is open for lunch with faculty and Plate and Pitchfork is open for dinner, making either meal a break from the hectic nature of an oncampus lifestyle. While dining among friends, faculty and staff members, you can chomp on some juicy salmon with ripe asparagus and fluffy whipped potatoes discussing everything from Shooters nights or the Thoreau reading for your English class. Or, opt for a select vegetarian entree of the day and greet your favorite professor who just ordered the same. Whatever you do, make sure you have enough time and good conversation to wine and dine with friends until the food comesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hopefully to the correct table. But a bite into your food may make you forget the wait.

Located within walk- Shooters II ing distance of East Campus on West Morgan Street, Shooters is the place everyone wants to go but no one wants to remember. Still, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better way to release from a stressful week of class (or at least stressful two days of class) than by dancing on

Brightleaf Square For those days where organic chemistry is looking grim and there seems little hope for your falling econ grade, a trip to Brightleaf Square is just the thing to brighten your day (get it?) Stop by Amelia’s Cafe for a Nutella-covered crepe or Offbeat Music if you’re still in the 90s and buy CDs. No matter where you go, this close-by shop- Brightleaf Square ping and dining center is a must-do for Duke students.

Best retail therapy: Franklin Street Even though it’s located by that despicable school with bad taste in shades of blue a town over, Franklin Street is perfect for a day of shopping. Whether you need to escape your crazy roommate or recover from a long night, a quick Robertson Bus ride to Chapel Hill could ease your worries.

We work hard and have fun in the office, producing a paper every weekday. If you want to test your skills as an intrepid young sleuth, to follow the money and make big discoveries, to have a finger on the pulse of the campus, the News Department is the place for you. For more information, email News Editor Julian Spector at julian. spector@duke.edu.

Photo The Chronicle Photo department is looking for creative individuals aspiring to document unique events at Duke. Photographers in our department are exposed to high-profile events and have a unique opportunity to learn about the inner workings of the university. As a photographer, you’ll be able to photograph a variety of events, from campus meetings to sports to speeches from esteemed individuals, such as Condoleezza

Rice. You can commit to whichever events you would like, allowing you to work around your busy schedule. Come out to our meetings in 301 Flowers, which we have every Sunday at 8:30. For more information, contact photo editor Chris Dall at chris. dall@duke.edu.

Recess “And all the kids, all the kids that want to make the scene/ Here in North America” —LCD Soundsystem We are those kids, and you are those kids—especially if we change “America” to “Carolina”—and we want you to join Recess, The Chronicle’s weekly arts and culture section. This year, Recess will continue to assert its increasingly important role as a reflection of Duke, Durham and the Triangle’s onward-and-upward arts culture with a lively investigative and critical eye. Recess has three sub-sections: Arts (including visual art, dance, theater, literature and food), Film and Music, as well as an online multimedia component.

If you’ve spent the past few years organizing late-night Criterion Collection film screenings for your friends, we want you. If you stream podcasts analyzing your (perhaps unhealthy) love of Taylor Swift, we want you. If you’ve already memorized the fall schedule for Duke Performances, we want you. If you like to write, photograph, design, tweet, invent, we want you; if you’ve got—as Bob Dylan says— a “head full of ideas that are drivin’ [you] insane,” we want you. If you’ve ever read a book, seen a play, stared at a splotch of black paint on a white canvas, alternately guffawing and pondering, “Why is that art?” we want you. Feel free to contact Recess Editor Michaela Dwyer at michaela. dwyer@duke.edu for more information.

Sports If you have even the slightest interest in sports—and any sport—The Chronicle’s sports section is a perfect fit. Beyond affording you the opportunity to sit courtside at Duke basketball

games, talk to the basketball players and Coach K, there are countless ways to get involved with the section, no matter how much time you can commit. We have a widely read sports blog (if you want a hint at how much, one of our sports Twitter accounts has 42,000 followers), so if you’re interested in online media, this is the place. Duke regularly trots out some of the best teams in the country in soccer, lacrosse (and of course basketball), so if you want an opportunity to write about sports, this is a unique opportunity to learn how and get involved.

The edit pages publish three columns—including our regular weekly and biweekly columnists, our anonymous humor column “Monday, Monday” and guest columns submitted by students, faculty, and alumni--as well as a letter to the editor or comic each day. Columnists for the fall semester have already been selected, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get involved. Submit a letter or guest column and keep an eye out for the Spring 2013 columnist application later on in the semester.
