Maps reveal the past in new exhibit

by Brady Buck THE CHRONICLE

by Elizabeth Djinis THE CHRONICLE

Instead of being just a navigational tool, maps may also help people understand the social context of past societies. Duke students curated an exhibit devoted to analyzing maps in innovative ways Friday at Perkins Library. The exhibit, titled Mapping the City: A Stranger’s Guide, was hosted by students working on an independent study with Philip Stern, assistant professor of history and co-director at the Borderworks Humanities Lab. When the students learned that Perkins had reserved a space for a presentation of their choice, they developed an exhibit that featured unseen works from the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library collection and shed light on the numerous ways in which maps can be read. “We are really trying to get across the message that maps can’t just get you from point A to point B,” said senior Mary Kate Cash, a key contributor to the exhibit. “They are also here to convey certain messages and intentions.” The exhibit includes rare works such as the Willem Blaeu Atlas, of which only

RALEIGH, N.C.—Coming into the 2012-13 college basketball season, preseason ACC favorite N.C. State had a motto for the year—“Our State”—in hopes of winning the ACC title over Triangle rivals Duke and North Carolina, who have maintained a firm grip on the conference crown for much of the past decade. And on Saturday, it was the Wolfpack’s state. A deadly fastbreak attack paced by senior floor general Lorenzo Brown—who finished with 12 points and dished out all 13 of N.C. State’s assists in the game—combined with powerful inside forces Richard Howell and C.J. Leslie were too much for the shorthanded Blue Devils to overcome, as N.C. State earned the 84-76 victory. “Their transition is what really won the game for them,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “And [Howell] is just a beast.” Playing its first true road game of the year in a sold-out PNC Arena without senior forward Ryan Kelly, No. 1 Duke (15-1, 2-1 in the ACC) looked as if it was in position to take No. 20 N.C. State (14-2, 3-0 in the ACC) to the wire based on its performance in the first half. The Blue Devils were able to lead by as many as eight in the first half, but ended up losing their advantage and went into the locker room down by two points at the half. From the onset of the second half, N.C. State took control, beginning with an 8-2 SEE M. BASKETBALL ON S.W. 4

Law and immigration Woodruff joins Duke debate draws scholars Endowment board by Raisa Chowdhury THE CHRONICLE

Immigration, usually a divisive issue, brought scholars together at a conference held at Duke Law School. The Duke Journal of Constitutional Law and Public Policy’s annual symposium held Friday titled Perspectives on Migration, Governance and Citizenship brought together scholarly voices from across the country to discuss papers slated for publication in the journal this spring. The topic this year was inspired by the Arizona v. United States Supreme Court case regarding whether the state or federal government has jurisdiction over immigration law enforcement, said third-year law student Andrew Hand, editor-in-chief of the Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy. “We want to explore immigration in its broadest form,” Hand said. “A lot of recent

developments have happened, and we want to look into what we’ve got right now with immigration policy, where it’s going and where it ought to go.” The title, which was intentionally vague, sought to capture the vision of generating dialogue among scholars who focus on immigration with those who think about political structures in a domestic and international setting, said Noah Pickus, Nannerl Keohane director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics and one of the organizers of the event. The three panels through the day covered the merits of using time as opposed to other bases for determining citizenship, the role of the government in enforcing immigration policies and an international comparison of United States and European Union migration policies.

Death Star request falls Treasury: No to trillion dollar coin victim to budget concerns by Ezra Klein THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department will not mint a trillion-dollar platinum coin to get around the debt ceiling. If it did, the Federal Reserve would not accept it. That’s the bottom line of the statement that Anthony Coley, a spokesman for the Treasury Department, gave me Saturday. “Neither the Treasury Department nor the Federal Reserve believes that the law can or should be used to facilitate the production of platinum coins for the purpose of avoiding an increase in the debt limit,” he said. The inclusion of the Federal Reserve is significant. For the platinum coin idea to work, the Federal Reserve would have to treat it as a legal way for the Treasury Department to create currency. If the Fed would not credit the Treasury Department’s deposit, the platinum coin would be worthless as legal tender. The idea of minting a platinum coin to bypass the debt ceiling comes from a few sentences tacked onto the 1997 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act. “Notwithstanding any other provision of law,” it reads, “the Secretary of the Treasury may mint and issue platinum coins in such quantity and of such variety as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.” The author of those sentences was Rep. Michael Castle, R-Del. The intent was to help coin collectors who wanted the Treasury Department to mint affordable coins from platinum, which in 1997 sold for between $350 and $500 an ounce. “They wanted the flexibility to put in smaller coinage so that people could collect them,” Castle told

The Washington Post’s Wonkblog this month. But in giving the Treasury Department the flexibility to mint platinum coins of lesser value, Castle accidentally gave them the flexibility to mint platinum coins of unlimited value. “That was never the intent of anything that I drafted or that anyone who worked with me drafted,” Castle said. The idea of minting a trilliondollar platinum coin was first floated in May 2010 in the comment section of “the Center of the Universe,” a blog devoted to Modern Monetary Theory. The author was a lawyer writing under the pseudonym Beowulf. “Curiously enough Congress has already delegated to [Treasury] all the seignorage power authority it needs to mint a $1 trillion coin (even numismatic coins are legal tender at their face value and must be accepted by the Federal Reserve)—the catch is, it’s gotta be made of platinum.” The platinum coin idea gained some powerful adherents during the debt-ceiling crisis of 2011, but it really developed traction following the 2012 fiscal cliff deal as politicians and economic writers realized that the country would be facing another debt-ceiling crisis in a matter of months. A Twitter campaign by Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider and Josh Barro of Bloomberg View forced it into the conversation, and subsequent endorsements by Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., Nobel Prizewinning economist Paul Krugman and former U.S. Mint Director Philip Diehl gave it further legitimacy. But others, including myself, worried that the coin would be seen as an unprecedented power SEE COIN ON PAGE 4

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will not be building a Death Star. Responding to a petition on the White House website, science and technology adviser Paul Shawcross tells disappointed “Star Wars” fans, “This Isn’t the Petition Response You’re Looking For.” Shawcross explained that at $850 quadrillion, the cost was simply too high in a time of tight budgets. Moreover, “the administration does not support blowing up planets.” And anyway, “Why

would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?” Shawcross, chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget, went on to say various space projects the White House has launched are at least as cool as a Death Star. (Debatable.) Anyone can post a petition on the “We the People” site, launched by the White House. If a petition gets 25,000 signatures, the administration will

respond. Administration officials have answered demands that the government recognize extraterrestrial life, allow online poker, legalize marijuana, remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance and ban Rush Limbaugh from Armed Forces Network radio. But many petitioners complain that the administration has issued boilerplate responses with little opportunity for follow-up. In this case, at least, the White House clearly gave an important issue the time and attention it deserved.

Lines harden in gun debate by Sean Sullivan THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON — Opposing forces in the debate over the nation’s gun laws staked out starkly different positions Sunday, with the head of the largest gun rights group declaring confidence that a ban on assault weapons would not win passage from lawmakers, while advocates of tightening restrictions on guns said such measures can be approved. “I would say that the likelihood is that they are not going to be able to get an assault weapons ban through this Congress,” National Rifle Association President David Keene said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Keene’s comments came two days before a self-imposed deadline for an Obama administration task force led by Vice President Joe Biden to offer concrete policy recommendations on curbing gun violence.

Obama has already said he supports renewing an expired ban on assault rifles and highcapacity magazines, while gun control advocates on Capitol Hill have promised to lead a charge to pass such a measure. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will soon introduce such a ban in the Senate. But the staunchest gun rights advocates, led by the NRA, have shown no willingness to endorse tightened restrictions on guns. After Biden’s working group met with the NRA last week, the gun rights group said it was “disappointed” with how little the meeting “had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment.” The direction of the national gun debate will grow clearer after Biden’s group delivers its recommendations to the president. The vice president said

LOOKING FOR (GREAT!) COURSES?

last week that he was beginning to see an emerging consensus from gun control advocates and law enforcement officials he had met with around “universal background checks” for all gun buyers and a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Others have cautioned that any new restrictions on guns must be part of a comprehensive attempt to curb mass violence, including a closer look at security, the entertainment industry and mental health issues. “An assault weapons standalone ban on just guns alone, in the political reality we have, will not go anywhere. It has to be comprehensive,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said on “State of the Union.” Manchin, a conservative, is the recipient of an “A” rating from the NRA.

GUNS from page 2 six adults were fatally shot in an elementary school on Dec. 14, Sen.

MAPS from page 1 six in the world exist, and a sound map of modern-day London. For students interested in the University’s history, the exhibit features early 20th century photographs of East Campus. Cash said that the creation of a map can be affected by a time period’s political climate. She cited an 18th-century London map as an example, noting that it stemmed from the city’s rivalry with Paris. “The main reason the London map was made was because Paris had a great [map],� Cash said. “It wasn’t made to help people.� The student curators also expressed the hope that the exhibit would encourage students to use maps not just as a visual resource but as a cited source in research papers. “These maps are a window into a certain time period,� said junior Beth Blackwood, the main curator of the exhibit. “Students need to look at the person who issued the map and their motives to get a complete picture of the map’s place in society.�

gearing up for what could be a tense legislative battle. Neera Tanden, president of the liberal think tank Center For American Progress, vowed a grass-roots effort among gun control advocates for new restrictions. “I expect the president to play a strong leadership role, but progressive organizations will be working to—working with the states to show that we have the voice and really have the American people,� said Tanden on “Fox News Sunday.� For their part, gun rights advocates

continued to argue in favor of arming qualified citizens in an attempt to curb mass violence. “We have got to face the reality that we have got to empower average people, including teachers and other people in schools, to be able to defend themselves,� said Larry Pratt, Gun Owners of America executive director. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell offered optimism that lawmakers can reach an accord on at least incremental measures to curb gun violence.

“I think we’re at a very important point in our national dialogue on this,� Powell said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.� “The NRA feels very, very strongly, gun owners feel very, very strongly, and at the same time the American people are concerned about the kinds of things that are happening in our society. Surely if we can’t get the whole ball of wax, I hope that there will be a way to find something in this continuum of things we can do that we’re able to do to demonstrate to the American people that this problem’s being taken seriously.�

The exhibit is made up of both a physical exhibit in Perkins as well as an online feature on the Duke University Libraries website. The exhibit’s webpage showcases expanded looks at the individual works of the collection and offers interested students more information on the exhibit, noted junior Lauren Jackson, a leading contributor of the website, in an email Sunday. “It is able to draw in examples from beyond the library’s collections in order to place the exhibit’s maps in a wider cultural context,� Jackson wrote. “While the exhibit itself presents examples of maps, the website contextualizes these maps and gives a rounder background for the individual cases’ topics.� Ultimately, the student curators hope that the exhibit sparks the interest of the Duke community and an increased awareness of maps themselves. “The exhibit, with its location in the Perkins lobby, is ideal for catching the attention of passersby� Jackson said. “We hope that they stop to look at it, and are then inspired to learn more about each topic on our website.� CHRIS DALL/THE CHRONICLE

COIN from page 2 grab by the president, leading to a far more bitter standoff over the debt ceiling, a possible panic in the financial markets and a showdown in the courts. There was also the simple fact that it would represent an admission that the government’s executive and legislative branches could no longer be trusted to come together and effectively manage the country’s finances. Nevertheless, many top Democrats believed that the White House needed a fallback option. Former president Bill Clinton said that if he were in office, he would invoke the 14th Amendment to call the debt ceiling unconstitutional “without hesitation, and force the courts to stop me.” On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and his leadership team sent President Barack Obama a letter urging him to “to take any lawful steps to ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global crisis — without congressional approval, if necessary.” In response, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,

THE CHRONICLE

R-Ky., released a statement saying that to avoid the debt ceiling: “Democrats are looking at everything from the ridiculous [printing a trillion-dollar coin] to outright abdication of Congressional responsibility. But avoiding this problem will only make it worse.” The White House seems to agree. This is, in fact, the second time that the Obama administration has ruled out a possible end run on the debt ceiling. In December, White House press secretary Jay Carney said, “This administration does not believe the 14th Amendment gives the president the power to ignore the debt ceiling — period.” The administration’s position is that raising the debt limit is Congress’ responsibility until the day that Congress votes to make it the White House’s responsibility, which is a resolution the Obama administration would happily accept. Until then, White House officials say, they will not negotiate over the debt ceiling, and if congressional Republicans attempt to use it as leverage, the consequences will be theirs to bear. As Carney put it Saturday, “there are only two options to deal with the debt limit: Congress can pay its bills or they can fail to act and put the nation into default.”

MIGRATION from page 1 invites experts on the selected topic to discuss and comment on relevant papers. The authors then incorporate the feedback received during the conference before submitting a final version for publication in the Spring issue of the Journal, Hand explained. This year’s symposium is the largest that the Journal has organized yet. The symposium featured a small discussion of a paper by Matthew Smith, Law ’11 about immigration enforcement on Thursday followed by a series of speakers and panels open to the public Friday. The panels covered political theory, federalism and international approaches. “It was a really great learning experience receiving feedback from older, more experienced scholars, for me as more of a junior,” said David Rubenstein, associate professor at the Washburn University School of Law who presented his paper on federalism. “The negative feedback is sometimes just as important and more important than the positive feedback,” he said. Professor Stephen Lee from the University of California Irvine School of Law expressed his excitement for the opportunity to interact with what he considers a strong law faculty with a focus on structural constitutional law at Duke. He also appreciated the interdisciplinary nature of the symposium. “When you have three different topics like that all on the same conflict, it’s very stimulating,” Lee said. The Kenan Institute for Ethics and the Program in Public Law collaborated with the Journal to organize the symposium. “The interdisciplinary aspect is great—bringing together people who work in different disciplines and approach issues from different perspectives,” said Brianna Nofil, Trinity ’12 and a postgraduate fellow at the Kenan Institute who attended the symposium. Pickus emphasized that though much of what Kenan does is focused on the applications of ethics, part of its responsibility is also to create conversations that generate new ideas. “If you ask literally, what our role was here, we tried to bring in different disciplines and perspectives to identify,” Pickus said. “That’s the heart of what a university does.”

requirements as well as dedicated Duke IDEAS academic advisors—balances diligence with flexibility, mitigating some of our concerns regarding interdisciplinary programs. Again, we like that Duke IDEAS does not adopt a “choose your own adventure” approach to interdisciplinarity. Students should not be able to fully customize their education as there are correct ways to master a field—hence the required courses before entering a project team. Students will be truly ready to contribute when, senior year, the time to join a project team finally rolls around. Duke IDEAS wisely coexists with the traditional model of selecting majors rather than replacing it. Maintaining majors will ensure students receive

adequate training in one field before examining its intersection with other fields. As long as it preserves the sanctity of specialization, Duke IDEAS will enhance a student’s experience within his or her major. We predict that this program will be successful in part because it will receive generous funding from a new gift. This will ensure that Duke can afford successful implementation of Duke IDEAS. Specifically, Duke IDEAS should not put an excessive strain on faculty time and resources. Project teams are a promising laboratory for interdisciplinary and integrated learning. Structured, pre-existing projects makes it easier for students to get involved with research, as it is difficult to develop a research question and

assemble a team alone. Handson collaboration is a useful skill and will prepare Duke students well for life after graduation. But more importantly, collaboration and mentorship from faculty and graduate students produce an unparalleled educational experience. Duke IDEAS is well-built. The Duke IDEAS Advisory Council addressed vital concerns: the future role of majors, rigor through required coursework and financial and institutional support for faculty and students. Nevertheless, some philosophical concerns remain—primarily the unresolved tension between the liberal arts and the job market as well as the potential neglect of the humanities with interdisciplinarity. We address these hazards in Tuesday’s editorial.

A day in the double life

“

How was your break?! What did you do?!” are a few of the inevitably trite questions I’m asked by person after person upon my return to campus. Although I convincingly reply with a “Great!” I’m really thinking to myself each time, “Um, do you reeeeally care?” #sass. When I return home for school breaks, I can always count on one thing. Maybe there won’t be a surprise party, or endless sunny Floridian days, or 3 a.m. trips to a vendjaimie woo ing machine, but there will times like these always be at least one Chinese Party. Yes, they are capitalized. My mother was born and raised in China and has developed many friendships with Chinese families over the years. Every couple of months, these families get together and eat deliriously rich food. The adults sing karaoke (my mom is channeling Celion Dion as of late) and play cards around the dining table. The children, whose ages range from 7 to 25, talk, play board games, watch movies and entertain the young ones. We’re also confined to a designated “kids” table. Sounds depressing, but it’s actually quite entertaining. I’m fortunate enough to have two friends from these parties here with me at Duke. As much as I love these dynamic and memorable Chinese Parties, I wonder why I am not a part of any Chinese or Asian community here at Duke. Why haven’t I explored something that I’m so proud of and happy about back home? What other facets about my identity do I share and develop at home that I don’t at Duke, and vice versa? And why does that happen? Going home rejuvenates and reminds me of parts of my identity that only occasionally surface here on campus. For three and a half years I’ve lived a split life—one at Duke and one at home. The moment I step back on to campus, my mind is filled with classes and friends and responsibilities. I may go a week without talking to my parents, and only rarely Skype high-school friends during the semester. Sound familiar? Although I tend to separate my two lives, I’m discovering several shared characteristics. It seems almost impossible to really describe these Chinese Parties to unknowing non-Chinese friends, but they actually resemble bits and pieces of Duke life. It’s an opportunity for comfort, family, friends and laughter, paired with moments of stress and anxiety. Parents will approach their friends’ kids with questions about post-graduation plans, and there are the inevitably awkward comments about how tall I’ve become or how much my Chinese has improved. A time always arrives when children are thrust onto the piano bench to perform for everyone, and you’ll never fail to hear parents’ slight bragging undertones about their Harvard child, pre-med daughter or violin prodigy son (um okay, we get it). These Chinese Parties epitomize a form of unity, one that is distinct and comforting. Though these friends share my olive skin, black hair and slanted eyes, we certainly share more than just appearances. They also have strict parents with exceedingly high expectations: straight As or BUST. They face the stereotypes: We’re not communist, thanks. #ignorance. Our American-ness strikingly differs from Chinese culture. We complain about similar frustrations, laugh about parental relationships and bond over the small things. At Duke there are many traditions that Blue Devils bond over. Tenting. LDOC. Senior Bhangra (have you seen the YouTube video? I promise you won’t miss me). With all these new traditions, I haven’t clung to potlucks with the Chinese department or involvements with the Asian Students Association. My Duke life is defined in many other manners, but that doesn’t mean I’m not proud of my heritage. Those Chinese Parties are still one of traditions dearest to me. Without them, my family would never have really felt like a part of a community. I wouldn’t have served as a mentor and role model for younger, Chinese, female friends. I would never have performed a karaoke duet with my mom. … I’ve developed home traditions, and I’ve developed Duke traditions. But just because I celebrate my Chinese identity in a more concrete way at home than at school (except for the occasional rosy cheeks), doesn’t mean it’s not important to me or that I don’t care about fighting racism or Chinese stereotypes. Just because you feel like you are living a double Bruce WayneHannah Montana life, doesn’t mean they don’t intersect in some fashion. Maybe next time somebody shoots one of those annoyingly repetitive questions about my break, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe we’re all living multi-faceted lives, and just looking for reasons to bring them together. Jaimie Woo is a Trinity senior. Her column runs every other Monday.

Duke beats Wake Forest, stays undefeated by Nick Martin THE CHRONICLE

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—After Duke’s men’s basketball team dropped its first game of the season on Saturday, the Blue Devil women’s team was determined not to see its perfect record blemished by a hot Wake Forest team that entered Sunday’s contest on a four-game winning streak. And No. 4 Duke DUKE 73 had no problem beating the Demon WAKE 44 Deacons, winning 73-44 at Joel Coliseum as the only undefeated team in Division I men’s or women’s basketball. The loss was Wake Forest’s first at Joel Coliseum this season. The Demon Deacons (9-7, 2-2 in the ACC) entered the contest with high hopes, as Lakevia Boykin had just led them with 34 points in their recent victory against No. 18 Florida State, and they were looking to knock off another ranked team in Duke. In the end, talent and execution beat out youth and hustle, as Duke’s smothering defense forced 23 Wake Forest turnovers and produced 12 steals. The Blue Devils were able to capitalize, scoring 26 points off turnovers. “We always try to bring a lot of pressure. I know our point guards always try to pick up the guards really early,� Duke center Elizabeth Williams said. “Us on the back line, we have to stay and help and just continue to be active, so I think we did a pretty good job of that.� Duke (15-0, 5-0) held the Demon STEVEN BAO/THE CHRONICLE

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Why is it so fun for everybody to beat Duke? The movement started with several minutes left in the game. From my seat in the upper level of Raleigh’s PNC Arena, it wasn’t hard to notice the tide of N.C. State students making their way into the aisles, pressing down towards the court in anticipation of a Wolfpack victory. Their intention quickly became obvious: If the Wolfpack held on for an increasingly likely win over Duke, they were going to rush the court. I was stunned. The Tom Wolfpack had been the preseason pick to win the ACC and had been ranked above the Blue Devils through the first two AP polls of the season. Even before the ranking bump they’ll receive today for defeating Duke, they were ranked in the top 25. Their roster is one of the more talented groups in the country, and as big of a factor as Ryan Kelly’s absence was, N.C. State has the pieces to take down Duke even with Kelly. The Wolfpack faithful seemed to be selling themselves short. Typically rushing the court is reserved for the once-in-a-lifetime sort of victories. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski insists that the court is only to be rushed when Duke wins a championship, whether conference or national. Exceptions can be justified for truly astounding upsets. But this was a game that N.C. State could have fully been expected to win. It was on my way out of the stadium that I began to appreciate the fans’ motivation for storming the floor.

Blue Devils lose their first game M. BASKETBALL from page 1 run and owning the glass, forcing Duke to take difficult shots. “We drew some energy off our fans, no question about it,” Wolfpack head coach Mark Gottfried said. “Our guys played really hard, they knew this was a big deal. Our ability to finish defensive possessions with rebounds in the second half helped us. The best offense we could run was getting on the boards and scoring.” Kelly’s absence was costly. Howell—a bruising 6-foot-9, 257-pound senior center— punished Duke’s inexperienced bigs on the boards, grabbing 18 rebounds and scoring 16 points. His springy 6-foot-9 running mate in the frontcourt, Leslie, showed why he was voted the preseason ACC Player of the Year. The Raleigh native finished with a gamehigh 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting and 7-for8 at the charity stripe. Making those figures even more impressive, Leslie was guarded by 6-foot-11 senior Mason Plumlee—Duke’s best player and National Player of the Year hopeful—for much of the contest. “C.J. was unbelievable,” Gottfried said. “I think in the second half he made his mind up and down the stretch offensively he was nearly unguardable. He showed a lot of resilience just to keep attacking the rim.” The Plumlee-Leslie matchup was arguably the most intriguing of the afternoon. Plumlee was able to muster 15 points and 11 rebounds against perhaps the most formidable frontcourt he has faced this season. The balance of Gottfried’s club gave Duke’s defense fits. Scott Wood, forward T.J. Warren and guard Rodney Purvis scored 14, 10 and seven points respectively

Senior captain Ryan Kelly is sidelined indefinitely with a foot injury and the Blue Devils are just 4-5 without him the past two seasons. by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE

RALEIGH, N.C.—The Blue Devils’ first loss of the season to N.C. State was eerily reminiscent of the last time they had lost a game—a defeat at the hands of 15th-seeded Lehigh in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 64. Both times, the absence of senior captain Ryan Kelly left a gaping hole in Duke’s frontcourt. Pleased with the way the Blue Devils fought in the face of adversity—facing Kelly’s absence and a raucous road environment at PNC Arena— head coach Mike Krzyzewski described his team without Kelly in just a few words. “You’re different,” he said. “You’re just different.” On the offensive end, the Blue Devils were able to account for Kelly’s absence in Saturday’s 8476 loss to the Wolfpack. Junior Josh Hairston and freshman Amile Jefferson picked up the majority of Kelly’s minutes. The duo combined for 18 points, nine rebounds and two blocks on the afternoon, which mirrors the 17.0 points Kelly averaged in Duke’s first two conference games and was actually an improvement on the forward’s rebounding average of 5.4 on the season. Both Hairston and Jefferson played their best basketball of the season. Jefferson was particularly impressive in his short stint on the floor. He notched 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting, adding four rebounds and two blocks, but his aggression on the

defensive end ultimately got the best of him when he fouled out in just 12 minutes of action. “It was big. I thought both of those guys played well,” senior Mason Plumlee said. “But both of those big positions have to get better. It was good, but it was not good enough, myself included. I think we definitely lost those matchups on the inside.” N.C. State took advantage of Duke’s interior defense in the second half, controlling the paint from the opening whistle. After being held to six points and four rebounds in the first half, Wolfpack forward Richard Howell was a oneman wrecking crew after halftime, finishing with 16 points and 18 rebounds and largely neutralizing Plumlee on the defensive end. After he grabbed eight rebounds in the first half, Plumlee—a National Player of the Year candidate—had to scrap for his 10th double-double of the season and did not grab his first rebound of the second half until the 11:42 mark. Hairston and Jefferson fared no better on the defensive end. The pair was responsible for N.C. State’s C.J. Leslie, and the 6-foot-9 forward showed off his jump shot and arsenal of post moves against the smaller defenders en route to a gamehigh 25 points, 14 of which came after halftime. “Ryan does an amazing job on defense, so Josh and I really wanted to pick him up there,” Jefferson said. “A lot of people

think it’s the scoring, but it’s the defense that makes Ryan special, being able to be a team defender.” Many expected Kelly’s injury to result in more minutes for Alex Murphy and Marshall Plumlee, but even without Kelly in the lineup, Murphy and Plumlee managed just three minutes apiece, all of which came in the second half. Murphy’s absence from the rotation was especially conspicuous against an N.C. State team with size at all five positions. The 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman was expected to start for Duke at the small forward position this year with the purpose of guarding some of the bigger wing players in the ACC. Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon was assigned to the Wolfpack’s Scott Wood and T.J. Warren, giving up a reasonable size advantage. Sulaimon made Wood and Warren work for difficult shots, but the pair combined for 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field. On the offensive end, Sulaimon’s struggles continued, finishing 0-of-10 from the field. As Duke prepares for its next conference tilt against Georgia Tech Thursday night, it will once again face the prospect of playing without Kelly, who is sidelined indefinitely with his injury. The Blue Devils will also be monitoring the injury status of Seth Curry, who left the game with 3:14 remaining after slipping on the floor and rolling his ankle. With the team’s captains continuing to suffer through nagging injuries, Duke is going to be forced to embrace a different rotation. The Blue Devils’ fate may be decided by the play of guys like Jefferson, Hairston, Murphy and Marshall Plumlee as the team enters the heart of its ACC schedule more than a little banged up. “We’re better than our parts when we have all of our parts together. If you lose a part—Seth, Ryan and Mason especially— there’s going to be hiccups,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s just the way it is.”

The Blue Devil divers logged plenty of successful performances—the team won three of four springboard events. Senior Abby Johnson, who won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, found herself atop the leaderboard in the women’s 1-meter competition with a score of 309.83. Although her former Team USA teammate and bronze medalist, Nick McCrory, finished second to teammate Jordan Long in the 3-meter competition, he rallied to come out on top in the 1-meter competition. McCrory’s performances earned him NCAA Zone Diving qualifying marks in both springboard events. Duke’s Steven Gasparini was the first Blue Devil to take home an individual win on the afternoon. The junior touched home in 50.45 in the 100 backstroke to edge South Carolina’s Michael Covert. Following Gasparini’s impressive performance, his classmate Hunter Knight stole the pool record in the men’s 100 breaststroke, with two other Blue Devils rounding out the top three. Junior Christine Wixted won the event on the women’s side, clocking in a 1:02.83. Sophomore Ali Horn won the 200 butterfly for Duke and the Blue Devils also recorded a sweep in the 50 freestyle events. Lauren Weaver won the women’s side and seniors Ben Hwang and Adam Flur went one-two on the men’s side, respectively. Duke honored its 15 seniors with a solid all-around performance at Taishoff Pavilion on what marked Senior Day for the Blue Devils. Next up for the Blue Devils is a dual meet in Charlottesville, Va. where they will take on the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference champion Virginia Cavaliers.

MEN’S LACROSSE

Three Blue Devils selected in MLL Draft by Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

Three Blue Devils were among the 64 selected in Friday night’s 2013 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft. Seniors Casey Carroll, Jake Tripucka and David Lawson were selected, with Carroll the highest selected at No. 18 overall in the third round by the Hamilton Nationals. A redshirt senior defensemen, Carroll will be back at Duke for his fifth year after serving tours with the United States Army’s 3rd Battalion, 75th Casey Carroll

Ranger Regiment in Iraq and Afghanistan. A first team All-America choice as a senior in 2007, Carroll became the 14th Blue Devils to be taken in the top 20 of the MLL draft. Lawson was selected with the 40th overall pick in the fifth round by the Rochester Rattlers. A midfielder, Lawson will join five former Duke lacrosse players who played for the Rattlers last season. In 59 career games, Lawson has 37 goals, including 14 last season coming off the bench. Tripucka, also a midfielder, started 16 of Duke’s 20 games last season and was selected No. 42 overall by the Hamilton Nationals. He scored 15 goals and recorded 12 assists last season in his second campaign as a starter.

GIERYN from page 3 other end that even a relatively mild upset triggers courtrushing euphoria. Only at my first “true” road game—attending as a fan in the bleachers rather than a writer on press row, for a game when school was in session—did I start to really understand the sheer size of the shadow that Duke basketball casts on the collegiate hoops landscape. “Duke being [No.] 1 is old. We know that,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after his team defeated Wake Forest Jan. 5. “We’ve been No. 1 11 of the last 16 years. It’s not big news.” Indeed, Krzyzewski’s history with the top spot in the polls is staggering. During his career in Durham, Krzyzews-

KEVIN SHAMIEH/THE CHRONICLE

With Mike Krzyzewski as head coach, Duke has been ranked No. 1 for 216 games and unranked for just 141. ki has coached the No. 1 team in the nation for 216 games. He has coached an unranked team just 141 times. Even during the fallow periods of Krzyzewski’s tenure, Duke has largely managed to remain a threat, never sacrificing its aura of invincibility in the way that North Carolina did during the Matt Doherty years or that Kentucky did under Billy Gillispie. None of this is to say that Duke is somehow a better program than its rivals. Nor is it to take away from the quality win that the Wolfpack earned Saturday. It’s to note that even as the Blue Devil faithful ride what they perceive to be a harrowing roller coaster between national title contention and “merely” top-25 caliber play, other fans, experiencing Duke basketball from a greater distance, simply see the heights at which Krzyzewski consistently maintains his program. And it is those intimidating levels of success that makes a win over a Duke team seem like a momentous achievement, even when a worthy opponent like N.C. State could have arguably been favored over the Kellyless Blue Devils. Given how many times—even under Krzyzewski’s strict standards—Duke fans have gotten to rush the floor after championship wins, perhaps it’s not altogether surprising that a win like the Wolfpack’s induces a celebration normally reserved for trophyearning victories.

THE CHRONICLE

W. BASKETBALL from page 2 Deacons to 22 points in each half and broke the game open in the second half, scoring 40 points. The Blue Devils began the game well, jumping out to an 8-1 advantage and never relinquishing the lead for the remainder of the game. Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie allowed Williams to go to work in the paint in the first half, and she finished the period with 12 points and five rebounds. She finished with 18 points, four blocks and seven rebounds. “Elizabeth is feeling more comfortable, even when people are climbing on her arms,” McCallie said. “She’s getting her balance back.” Length was a constant problem for the Demon Deacons, who struggled to defend well against the larger Duke team. Williams, a sophomore, gave Wake Forest problems in the post, as she used her presence to attract a double-team and would proceed to kick the ball out to the team’s perimeter players. The Demon Deacons’ offense did not let the Blue Devils size deter them in the first half, as they took advantage of Duke’s lack of help defense, driving to the lane and knocking down several easy layups. Neither team had an issue with getting open shots, as they displayed strong ball movement, but both struggled to knock down their open shots, with Wake Forest and Duke going 1-of-4 and 1-for-5 from behind the 3-point line, respectively. The difference was the Blue Devils’ ability to force 14 first-half turnovers, allowing them to cash in on fastbreak opportunities, while only giving it up seven times themselves. Although the Blue Devils led almost the entire game, they failed to lengthen their

Duke often settled for fadeaway hook shots or step back jumpers, resulting in no free throw attempts for the first 12:42.

“We didn’t do a lot of things in the first half, but I think we did a good job of adjusting,” Williams said. Duke, which was outrebounded in the first half 18-17 by Wake Forest, came out much more aggressive on the boards

in the second half. The Blue Devils finished the game outrebounding Wake Forest 38-30 and with 17 second-chance points, compared to six for the Demon Deacons. “Rebounding is still an area where we’re not getting enough of them,” McCallie said. “We outrebounded them by eight. We want it to be more like 15 or 20 and really dominate the boards.” The Blue Devils’ Chloe Wells and Tricia Liston finally helped Duke find its rhythm from behind the arc, as the two knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to extend Duke’s lead to 18 with 10:44 remaining and keying a 10-2 run. The shots continued to fall for Duke, which finished the game shooting 48.3 percent from the field, including a 5-for-13 performance from behind the arc. Wells led all 3-point shooters with a pair of longrange shots. The Duke bench, led by Wells and Richa Jackson, who scored 10 points apiece, outscored the Wake Forest bench 23-8. Both Jackson and Wells are returning from injuries and are beginning to see regular action. “I also loved off the bench, Chloe and Richa off the bench, and their confidence. Just their poise and confidence,” McCallie said. “They know what’s going on out there so we don’t lose anything.” Although the margin lengthened, neither team let up on its aggressiveness. The Blue Devils continued to pressure Wake Forest’s ball handler at half-court and the Demon Deacons maintained their chippy play, consistently diving to the floor for loose balls and contesting each Duke shot. But the Blue Devils did not allow Wake Forest’s intensity to outmatch theirs, as they attacked the basket and drew fouls, frustrating the Demon Deacon defense.
