Nearby counties inch closer to fracking by Tony Shan THE CHRONICLE

Since the North Carolina legislature approved hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as fracking, in July 2012, state representatives have debated how to move the process forward. Despite the bill’s approval, drilling in the state will not occur for several years until safety regulations are put in place. The conversation regarding fracking occurred after the discovery of a large shale gas basin in North Carolina. The shale basin, which spans across Moore, Lee, Chatham, Wake, Granville and Durham Counties, has been targeted by companies who hope to drill and harvest the energy stored within the rock. Experts believe that lessdeveloped counties will be targeted first, because the financial benefits of fracking will be higher there. “It’s less likely in Durham,” said Brian Miles, chair of the Durham Environmental Advisory Board. “They’re going to go where the costs are lowest, and there is a chance of
negative public perception, so they’ll probably go to the rural counties. They’re more used to working in those environments.” The bill’s approval means that fracking will be ready to go as early as 2014, but it will be up to each county to determine whether it will participate. Fracking, which involves drilling both vertically and horizontally to access deep rock layers, uses explosive charges and high pressure fluid to induce fractures in the rock in order to release the natural gas and oil stored inside. This fuel can then be brought back to the surface, at which point it is harnessed and sold. Although fracking may lead to a substantial revenue boost in drilling neighborhoods, the techniques used to access this fuel introduce possible environmental dangers that could threaten the health of North Carolina residents, causing state representatives to consider safety regulations.

UNDERGRADUATE YOUNG TRUSTEE
Schools adopt tests for Alman touts a broad range character in admissions of campus involvement by Ryan Zhang THE CHRONICLE
Quantitative evaluations, which once reigned supreme in college admissions, are now making room for “noncognitive” measures for evaluating prospective students. Noncognitive measurements have risen in popularity in recent years as a way to evaluate applicants. These measurements provide an alternative way to assess students, eschewing traditional “cognitive” factors, such as high school GPA and SAT scores, in favor of intangibles such as integrity and communication skills. Currently, schools including Oregon State University, DePaul University and Eastern Washington University have begun complementing traditional admissions measures with some form of noncognitive assessment. Despite the increasing prevalence of noncognitive measures, Duke has no
plans to adopt any of them in the admissions process in the near future, said Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag. The dearth of understanding regarding the usefulness of such measures makes it difficult to predict whether they would be useful for Duke, he added. Either way, the current admissions process already takes into account many of the characteristics evaluated by noncognitive measures. “On one level, we’ve always used noncognitive measures,” Guttentag said. “The decision to admit someone to Duke has never been made simply on the basis of academic or strictly quantifiable characteristics or attributes.” One noncognitive measure already in use is the Personal Potential Index, developed by the Educational Testing Service.

Robertson bus ends free ride grace period by Emma Baccellieri THE CHRONICLE
Starting this past Friday, all passengers wishing to use the Robertson Scholars bus now must pay a $2.50 charge or present a GoPass. The Robertson program, which bused students between Durham and Chapel Hill free of charge, announced late November that it would transfer its bus service from Duke Parking and Transportation to the Durham Area Transit Au-

The average score in each category is then used by the school to which the student is applying in order to obtain a better understanding of the student’s strengths and weaknesses. The PPI has gained trac-
ALMAN from page 1 has served as a residential assistant, marketing chair of the Last Day of Classes Committee and a member of Campus Council and vice-president of East Campus Council. She said the scope of her involvement has given her the knowledge to most effectively represent the student body on the Board. “The role of the Young Trustee is to speak to a wide range of experiences in an attempt to represent the undergraduate student body on the Board of Trustees,� Alman said. “I’ve been not just an involved member of campus, but an active,
thority. The change in management would add a bus fee, but the transition did not start taking effect until Jan. 7. For affiliates of University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the final grace period for a free busing ended Friday. According to the website of the UNC Department of Public Safety, UNC students may receive a free GoPass only if they qualify for the Commuter Alternatives Program, an initiative designed
to encourage environmentally friendly transportation for students who live off-campus and do not have on-campus parking permits. Conversely, all Duke students—undergraduate, graduate and professional—are eligible for a free GoPass through Parking and Transportation. “I think it really affects Chapel Hill students more,� UNC freshman Anna Ballasiotes wrote in an email Sunday. “It seems kind of discriminatory.� UNC students who require the bus for work or school are able to apply for a free Robertson Express Pass, but many students feel slighted nonetheless. “It was nice to always have the
option to pop over to Duke, but now it’s a little more difficult,� said UNC freshman Meredith Morrow. For Durham Area Transit Authority and its parent company, Triangle Transit, the change has been successful thus far. “It’s gone well,� said Laurie Barrett, Triangle Transit director of bus operations. “We’re very happy to be operating the route.� Carlton Williams, assistant operations manager for DATA, noted that most riders of the bus so far have had a GoPass. Duke Transportation has also found that the transition has been smooth. “The DATA and Robertson people couldn’t have been any
better to work with,� Joseph Honeycutt, interim assistant director of transportation services of Duke, wrote in an e-mail Friday. He added that the two buses that Duke had formerly used on the Robertson route have since been integrated into other Duke Transportation bus routes. Despite the administration’s praise of the change, UNC students are unhappy with the end of the free option. “It weakens the tie between two great schools, removing from students even the option of pursuing goals that may otherwise lead to collaborative achievement,� said Anurag Angara, a freshman at UNC.
tion in graduate school admissions processes in particular. Highly selective colleges, such as Duke and its peer institutions, have assessed the personal qualities of applicants for “at least 50 years,� Guttentag noted. Less selective colleges may be more likely to add noncognitive measures to their admissions decisions. Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost of undergraduate education, said that noncognitive measures have the potential to be useful, but only if implemented correctly.
“That’s true of anything we use in our admissions decisions,� Nowicki said. “You can use SAT scores right or you can use them wrong. If you say it’s all about SATs, you’d be using it wrong, for example, because that’s just one measure.� The decision to incorporate noncognitive measures into Duke’s admissions process could rely on how accurately such measures are able to identify personal qualities, said Lee Baker, dean of academic affairs of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, noting that it would be difficult to assign
a point value to a trait like leadership. “I would be skeptical about any sort of exam,� said Baker, who also serves as associate vice provost of undergraduate education. The tendency to view cognitive and noncognitive attributes in a binary fashion is problematic, warned David Malone, director of the Service Learning Program and associate professor of the practice of education, in an email Thursday. Both contribute to an individual’s chances for success in life, he added.
Duke has enjoyed success at selecting applicants with diverse talents and backgrounds under the current admissions process, Baker added. “If all the undergraduates were the same, if we just took all the best SATs or something, it would be a much duller place and a much less vibrant learning community,� Nowicki said. “We’ve always gone well beyond the numbers in trying to craft a good class—and to the extent that these new measures might help us do that—that’d be fabulous.�
integrated member.� She noted that her on-campus involvement has provided her with the capacity to understand the viewpoints of all facets of the undergraduate body—prospective students, through her admissions office work; first-years, through her time with the FAC program and East Campus Council; residents, through being an RA; and all others from her work with DUU and the Office of Undergraduate Education. “The breadth of her experience qualifies her to understand Duke in a way that’s very current,� said Shilpi Kumar, a senior who has served with Alman as a FAC and on East Campus Council. “I really hope
that students see the relevance of Ashley’s campaign to their own lives.� Her career as a Duke student has also included time spent away from Durham—in 2011, she participated in DukeEngage Tucson, and she spent the Fall semester of her junior year in Barcelona. “My experiences at Duke have sent me to every corner of campus and beyond,� Alman said. “I’ve engaged with an amazingly diverse, spirited and inspiring group of students through my campus involvements, and I feel very confident in my ability to speak to a wide range of perspectives.� Alman’s character has been
praised by students and faculty alike. “She’s very approachable in a way that includes everyone,� said Kumar, a member of Alpha Phi sorority with Alman. “She considers everyone and makes you feel part of something.� Kelly Alexander, an undergraduate instructor at the Center for Documentary Studies, has had Alman as a student twice—once in a narrative nonfiction workshop and again in a class on culinary cultures. “She’s clearly conscientious,� Alexander said. “She’s a good listener, a good observer—she loves Duke unequivocally.�
If elected, Alman said she will provide the student perspective for discussions taking place at the highest level of the University, noting that she feels that her four years of campus involvement have given her the qualifications needed to do so. “I know this University, and I am confident in my ability to speak on behalf of those who frequent it,� said Alman. “My experiences, involvement and interactions have helped me to understand the value in diversity, innovation, growth and change, and these are values that I will certainly defend in the boardroom.� Carleigh Stiehm contributed reporting.

FRACKING from page 1 are at the forefront of studying the pros and cons of fracking and what it means for North Carolina. No longer ‘clean energy’ For a time, hydraulic fracturing was the face of clean energy, a far more environmentally friendly alternative to previous coal mining practices, said Avner Vengosh, professor of geochemistry and water quality at the Nicholas School of the Environment, who is currently conducting a large-scale study on the effects of fracking nationwide. “When shale gas and fracking started, many environmentalists saw it as the clean future of energy,” he said. “In fact, several large environmental groups, like Sierra Club, were supporting it. Now they’re realizing that there are some issues [with fracking] and they are going back from that.” The main environmental threat from fracking, ignoring secondary problems such as noise and air pollution from truck traffic and on-site generators, is water contamination. For his research, Vengosh and his colleagues have gathered over 700 water samples from places like Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where nearly a thousand new sites are drilled each year. He has found that contamination, if identified, can come from both methane gas leakage and wastewater disposal. When the flammable greenhouse gas methane leaks from fracking pipelines into groundwater, water sources can become saturated with it, making kitchen sink pyrotechnics a real possibility. Additionally, the dumping of liquid waste can contaminate ground water sources, creating toxic drinking water. “We see [in the wastewater] that there are man-made chemicals, high salinity and naturally occurring radioactivity released from the formations,” Vengosh said.
THE CHRONICLE
Fracking companies are exempt from the Clean Water Act, which regulates the discharge of pollutants into water systems, so companies are not required to disclose how many and what chemicals they put in the ground. Companies claim that revealing the formulas would allow competitors to copy their techniques and take away profits, but the secrecy also makes it harder to study where the harmful fluids end up, Vengosh said. “The natural gas industry is powerful,” said Rebecca Vidra, lecturer and director of undergraduate studies for environmental science and environmental science and policy. “[It] has many friends in Washington.” New technologies may help increase the transparency of the fracking industry in the future, allowing targeted areas to make more informed decisions. BaseTrace, a company started by a team of five Duke graduate students and Alumni, seeks to address the question of how to track fracking fluids by developing a DNA-based tracer that would be added to fracking fluid. If it is later detected in general water sources near a fracking site, it would indicate a leak, said Justine Chow, CEO of BaseTrace and Nicholas ’12. An economic boom with pitfalls Despite the disputed nature of fracking’s environmental effect, it brings employment opportunities and increased revenue that can stimulate growth in an otherwise underdeveloped area. “One of the things [fracking] will do is probably raise the value of all the houses in the town because there’s a lot of well workers and an increased demand for housing,” said economics professor Christopher Timmins, who is studying the effects of shale gas development on property values. In addition to the neighborhood’s economic growth, many individual households will also receive direct compensation by leasing contracts with companies that want to drill
on their property. “It varies dramatically, but some people can become millionaires if they get lawyers and [negotiate] with fracking companies correctly,” Vengosh said. According to one of Timmins’ current working papers, “upon signing their mineral rights to a gas company, landowners may receive two dollars to thousands of dollars per acre as an upfront “bonus” payment, and then a 12.5 to 21 percent royalty per unit of gas extracted. Such incentives make it difficult to resist the advances of the energy industry. The expected economic boom accompanying fracking, however, is not without its pitfalls. In his research, Timmins looked at over 19,000 pieces of property in Washington County, Pa., to study how living within 1.25 miles from a shale well will influence property value. He found that houses within this radius experience an 11 percent property value boost as a result of signing leases with fracking companies. Because properties closer to fracking sites are subject to possible water contamination, however, houses within this radius that are at risk of water contamination experience a 24 percent lower increase in property value when compared to houses not at risk. Vengosh said he worries that a lack of financial sustainability may also be a problem for fracking towns. “You might see a boom town symptom, where you have a lot of money going into some sector but not into the infrastructure, so when [fracking] is finished, everything will collapse again,” he said. Timmins added that the change in composition of a town’s businesses as a result of fracking may also negatively effect a town’s economy. If a town’s economy depends on tourism, that may go away as a result of fracking, causing the town to re-evaluate its revenue source when there is no more fracking.
Pricing ‘negative externalities’ Although fracking has the potential to cause environmental damage, it is important to note that this is not always the case. “Many people saw the movie Gasland and take it almost religiously that fracking contaminates water, but that’s not true every time,” Vengosh said. He added that such contamination depends on whether pipes do leak and if the companies choose to dump wastewater illegally. Timmins took an economic approach to the matter, arguing that if there are negative effects from drilling, fracking companies should incur the cost of those damages. “I’m not opposed to the idea of using natural gas… but if we find out that there are negative externalities associated with it, we should make sure we price that—maybe by taxing it, to make sure that the drillers incur the cost if they’re imposing any,” he said. “Then we let the market take care of the rest.” Miles said that a severance tax on natural gas supplies to help fund pre- and post-drilling monitoring programs would be essential to future fracking endeavors, but doing so would require significant investment from the state to start up the monitoring program. Miles is also concerned that North Carolina may face a higher probability of experiencing environmental damage from fracking than places like Pennsylvania, because shale basins are shallower, increasing the potential for interaction between ground water and possible contaminants. Either way, county representatives in North Carolina still have a lot of factors to consider regarding fracking in their respective areas. There do not appear to be any plans for fracking in Durham currently. “I plan to live here for a while,” said Timmins. “It doesn’t seem like it’ll happen soon but… who knows?”

nected to an applicant. While two individuals who served in DSG at different times may not have a personal relationship constituting a “major conflict of interest,” YTNC members currently serving in DSG will likely see DSG experience as legitimizing a candidate—a benefit not afforded to applicants from organizations underrepresented on the YTNC. None of this implies that members acted unethically or maliciously. On a small campus, biases are inevitable. Yet given these conflicts of interests are focused around one organization, more must be done to combat this bias. Given that a DSG committee selects the YTNC, that two thirds of YTNC members are affiliated with DSG and two out of three finalists this year are af-
filiated with DSG, the YTNC has a heightened responsibility to establish transparent and fair procedures. Many different types of students are capable of being Young Trustee, including those that have no experience with the largest campus organizations. The YTNC risks becoming an insular committee of like-minded students picking students resembling themselves in interest and outlook—especially when their procedures are amorphous and opaque. In Tuesday’s editorial, we provide more ideas for how the selection process might be improved. Precious Lockhart, a YTNC member, and Nicole Kyle, a semifinalist, recused themselves.

Is history silent?
A socialist’s dream
hat do we do with history? I’ve been toying leaders. Understanding the broader trends throughout with this question over the past two weeks after history can help us solve future problems and avoid seeing “Django Unchanged.” It’s an important past mistakes. In my mind, history provides a rubric— idea to consider. Quentin Tarantino’s lata scoring card that can be used to meaest film explores the past brutality of the sure ourselves against our ancestors of South in a particularly heart-wrenching old and recent memory. manner that calls out for justice. Yet jusMeasured against the scorecard of tice is impossible as the movie is set over the past, “Django” is a triumph.

ometimes, living under a tyrannical socialist dictator for a couple of years seems like a good idea. I know that sounds absurd and exactly like Glenn Beck’s worst fear, but sometimes the type of democracy we have in our federalist system of government seems to hopelessly and ironically impede the recognition of our rights. I realize that the tyrannical, socialist style essentially failed with the end of the Cold War, and I am definitely not coming out as a die-hard supporter of the Soviet Union. But I do believe joline doedens that the federal government should wait a minute have the power to act for the public welfare to protect and preserve the core rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Take the case of United States v. Morrison. According to the stipulated facts, Virginia Tech freshman Christy Brzonkala met Antonio Morrison and James Crawford at a party, and a half an hour later they “pinned her down on a bed and took turns forcibly raping her.” After the incident, Christy became depressed, withdrew from her classes, attempted suicide and subsequently sought treatment. She filed a complaint with the school’s administration, and the school’s judicial committee found Morrison guilty of sexual assault. Morrison challenged the decision, and he was again found guilty after a second hearing. Without Christy’s knowledge, Morrison’s suspension was set aside by the administration. When she discovered her attacker would be returning to school, Christy dropped out. A state grand jury later found insufficient evidence to indict either Morrison or Crawford. At the end of her rope, Christy sued Morrison, Crawford and Virginia Tech under the civil damages provision of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The defendants moved to dismiss the suit, arguing the provision was an unconstitutional extension of Congressional authority. After the lower courts flip-flopped on whether Congress had the constitutional authority to enact the civil damages provision, the Supreme Court struck down the federally guaranteed, private right of action for victims of gender-motivated violence. The Court found that Congress did not have authority under the Commerce Clause because “gender-motivated crimes of violence are not, in any sense of the phrase, economic activity,” and because Congress had not explicitly included a “jurisdictional hook” to establish the link to interstate commerce. This holding was in spite of four years of Congressional hearings on the effect of gender-based violence on the participation of victims in interstate commerce. The Court also held that the provision was an unconstitutional use of Congress’s power under the 14th Amendment’s enforcement clause. Since the 14th Amendment “prohibits only state action,” the Amendment “erects no shield against merely private conduct, however discriminatory or wrongful.” That is, regardless of whether Morrison was actually guilty of raping Christy, and regardless of whether he embodies a consistent failure to punish Virginia Tech football players for gender-motivated crimes, Congress has no authority to guarantee a federal right of action for victims. Congress is bound by the straightjacket of federalism, and must rely on the fact that “no civilized system of justice could fail to provide … a remedy” for victims of gender-motivated violence. Regardless of whether you believe Christy’s story, it remains true that victims of gender-motivated violence still suffer from a grossly inadequate access to justice. Around 18 percent of women in the United States reported being sexually assaulted in their lifetime. This makes sexual assault victims more common than smokers among women in the United States. If Congress cannot constitutionally enact a civil damages provision to counteract discrimination against victims of gender-based violence in state courts, then it seems as if federalism has stifled Congress’s attempt to act for the public welfare. I agree that it does seem like a stretch for Congress to view individual incidents of gender-motivated violence as interstate commerce. What I cannot accept is that the 14th Amendment’s enforcement clause should only apply to state action. I find it utterly incomprehensible that a victim of rape should receive fundamentally different treatment in Fargo, Ga. than in San Francisco, Calif. If we live in a nation “with Liberty and Justice for all,” then why can that justice differ by state? Is a state’s practice in prosecuting perpetrators of gender-based violence a factor I have to consider before moving there? So I vote for a socialist dictator. Not long enough to overthrow capitalism or nationalize all of the United States’ biggest industries. Just long enough to equalize the recognition of rights among the states. A victim of rape living in rural Mississippi should have access to the same justice as a victim of a similar crime living in New York. A student attacked by her school’s best football players should have the same ability to sue for damages as a student at a school with an insignificant athletic program. Maybe I’m just an idealist, and maybe the socialist dictator I imagine doesn’t exist. All the same, I think federalism currently inhibits Liberty and Justice for all.

young trustee endorsements Blue Devils United endorses Gurdane Bhutani for Young Trustee After meeting with all three candidates, the members of Blue Devils United enthusiastically support Gurdane Bhutani for Young Trustee. As Duke’s student group for LGBTQ and Allied students, BDU believes that Bhutani is best positioned to advocate for students as a member of the board and will best articulate the needs of LGBTQ students. We were particularly impressed by his extensive knowledge of the Board’s role within the larger University, and we admire his work to guarantee free STI testing for students, his role as an advocate for better financial aid and his support for gender neutral housing over the past few years. Bhutani articulates a vision for the Board and for Duke that focuses on diversity, leadership and innovation. As a member of the Board, Bhutani will work to protect Duke’s diversity and ensure that Duke continues to be a place where all students can thrive. Jacob Tobia, Trinity ’14 President, Blue Devils United Black Student Alliance endorses Ashley Alman for Young Trustee The Black Student Alliance endorses Ashley Alman for Young Trustee. Alman fully substantiated her claim of “knowing this University” by explaining how her perspective as a first-year advisory counselor, work in the Office of Undergraduate Education and contributions as leader in the Duke University Union will translate into meaningful insights on the Board. Her references to the 50th Anniversary and the Black Student Alliance Invitational conveyed her knowledge and appreciation for diversity and what it adds to the fabric of Duke. Her opinions on affirmative action were direct, honest and contextualized with facts and examples. Her perspective was refreshing, and her insights encouraging. These qualities differentiate Alman from the other two candidates. Brown clearly articulated his commitment to improving the University, citing his experience as a vice
president for DSG, but failed to explain how this experience would carry over into policy recommendations. Brown has a solid understanding of Duke’s mission and trajectory as an elite university, hailing Duke as a place that “dares to pursue outrageous ambitions.” However, in other crucial areas of understanding, he falls short. His lack of familiarity with diversity issues, particularly affirmative action, was a concern for us. A trustee should be knowledgeable of contemporary social issues. We do not feel that Brown could add any new perspectives or insights in this area. Bhutani came prepared with examples of ways a Young Trustee could remain connected with the undergraduate population, citing an email account or drop box as a channel of communication he would establish, if elected. We appreciated his firm understanding of the role of a Young Trustee in advancing the University’s position in the world while providing the implications of Board decisions on the undergraduate experience. Although, when discussing issues that affect minorities, Bhutani often seemed unsure. We felt that Brown and Bhutani were similar is this regard. Alman’s passion and enthusiasm for the student experience and extensive knowledge on a wide range of issues, combined with her ability to persuasively communicate her ideas, make her the strongest candidate for Young Trustee. Marcus Benning, Trinity ’14 President, Black Student Alliance Asian Students Association endorses Gurdane Bhutani for Young Trustee The Asian Students Association is proud to officially endorse Gurdane Bhutani for the Young Trustee position. We appreciate everyone’s unique perspective on student life, but we were most impressed by Gurdane’s commitment to keeping Duke accountable in developing its strong brand of diversity and innovation. Ting-Ting Zhou, Trinity ’13 President, Asian Students Association

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—There is no such thing as a safe halftime lead for Duke. Despite taking a 31-point advantage into the locker room, the No. 5 Blue Devils had to withstand a second-half run from No. 11 North Carolina in an 84-63 victory Sunday at Carmichael Arena. After dominating the first 20 minutes, the Blue Devils had the chance to match or surpass last year’s 40-point rout of the Tar Heels at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Instead, the second half exemplified the issues that have plagued Duke in the second half of games against quality opponents all season—turnovers, missed free throws and lapses on the defensive end allowed North Carolina to trim the deficit to 18 and re-energize its raucous home crowd. “Obviously it was a terrific first half for us. The second half was pretty good, but not great,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We’re getting there. If you look at some of the stats there is still much work to be done. But it is exciting to play well, have fun and get better along the way. It’s a long season, and we have a lot to do from now going forward.” With the win, the Blue Devils not only notched their 37th win all-time against North Carolina, but also denied Tar Heel head coach Sylvia Hatchell her 900th career victory. The Blue Devils (20-1, 10-0 in the ACC) fired on all cylinders in the first half, jumping out to 34-7 lead in the game’s first 12 minutes. The team seemed as though it could not miss from beyond the arc, knocking down 7-of-9 attempts in the first half. Junior guard Chloe Wells, who led the team with a career-high 18 points on the afternoon, converted on 6-of-7 3-point attempts.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—With the talent of Chelsea Gray and Alexis Jones in the Duke backcourt, it’s easy to forget about Chloe Wells, especially after she missed the second half of last season and the first part of this one. The backcourt duo of Gray and Jones has deftly run the offense and provided defensive intensity for the Blue Devils, with Gray emerging as one of the nation’s top point guard and Jones one of the elite freshmen. In an 84-63 win against No. 11 North Carolina at Carmichael Arena, however, it was a much different story. Gray and Jones combined for 51 minutes on the floor, scoring 16 points, dishing six assists, and turning the ball over 10 times. But foul trouble thrust Wells into the spotlight: Jones fouled out with 2:56 left in the second half and Gray finished the game with four fouls. But the Blue Devils (20-1, 10-0 in the ACC) were propelled by the exceptional play of junior guard Chloe Wells, who started her fourth consecutive game Sunday. Wells, who scored a career-high 18 points against the Tar Heels (20-3, 8-2), took advantage of opportunities from beyond-the-arc and directed the offense for the Blue Devils in her 31 minutes of action, adding three steals, a rebound and an assist to her stat line. Draining an impressive 6-of-7 three pointers, Wells became the 12th Duke player in program history to hit six or more 3-pointers in a game. It was not only Wells’ shooting performance that impressed head coach Joanne P. McCallie, but also her hustle. “As much as Chloe hit shots, she was an incredible defender out there for us,” McCallie said. “She was disrupting, causing turnovers, playing both sides of the ball and also trying to run the offense. So that

Duke beats Northwestern, stays perfect in 2013 by Olivia Banks THE CHRONICLE
Duke found success in Evanston, Ill. this weekend, taking down long-time rival Northwestern. Since the beginning of the season, the girls have focused on maintaining their energy on the court, and the No. 3 Blue Devils brought all the vigor they needed on the road, sweeping No. 14 Northwestern 4-0 and improving their all-time record against the Wildcats to 14-5. “I was really happy with the energy that we had in doubles,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “There were a lot of close doubles matches and we played with a lot of composure.” The most highly-anticipated match of the day did not finish because Duke had already clinched a team victory, but the abbreviated contest between the team’s No. 1 players was exciting nonetheless. Duke’s Hanna Mar, ranked No. 10 in the nation, was leading No. 67 Turvy 1-0 in the second set after a hard-fought 7-6 victory in the first when the match was ended. Mar’s main concern was figuring out how to essentially play against herself, since the two players have similar playing styles. “They play exactly the same,” Ashworth said. “I knew it would be a long match. Both of them are tough to put balls away against.... She fought her way back into the first set and ended up winning it.” Before the match, the Blue Devils discussed what it means to play tennis for Duke. Although Duke walked out with a sweep, Ashworth believes that there is room for improvement, particularly leading up to the National Indoor Tournament—among the biggest of the season—which begins

Friday in Charlottesville, Va. “I think we need to serve a little bit better,” he said. “We’re on our way to the National Team Indoors this week, and I thought that we really have to value our service points a little bit more.” In Evanston, Blue Devil sophomore Monica Turewicz did not seem to have any trouble capitalizing on her service opportunities against Linda Abu Mushrefova
with an easy 6-3, 6-1 win, securing the first singles victory for the Blue Devils. Following a tough doubles match that was stopped at 7-7, Turewicz’s quick win gave the team even more momentum in singles. No. 63 Marianne Jodoin and No. 40 Ester Goldfeld followed up with quick wins of their own, leading Duke to victory. “We needed a good win before Indoors,” Ashworth said. “And just to prove
to ourselves that the early season adversity is behind us. I think we’re definitely moving in the right direction and playing with some confidence, which we need.” The National Indoor Tournament begins Friday in Charlottesville, Va. The Blue Devils qualified last weekend with sweeps against Wisconsin and Wyoming and have yet to drop a match in the Spring season.

Duke shoots past Florida State by Tom Gieryn THE CHRONICLE
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—For the second time in as many weeks, Duke basketball has traveled to Florida for a rout. Unlike the 9063 drubbing they received at the hands of Miami Jan. 23, though, the Blue Devils were the ones dealing out the beating Saturday afternoon at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Behind a lights-out shooting performance from the backcourt trio of Quinn Cook, Seth Curry and Rasheed Sulaimon, Duke demolished Florida State 79-60 on the Seminoles’ home floor. While Florida State star guard Michael Snaer went 0-for-5 in the first half and failed to score until the 15:13 mark in the second half, the Blue Devil guards buried the Seminoles from the outset, with 19 points and only two missed shots in the game’s first 10 minutes. Duke (19-2, 6-2 in the ACC) ran out to an 18-2 lead after fewer than six minutes of play, and even a pair of early timeouts from Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton could not stem the Blue Devil tide. “Last time we were in Florida, we didn’t show up. We wanted it to be a different story this time,” Sulaimon said. “That’s the kind of statement and kind of message we have to send to each and every team we play, from the beginning.” Hamilton said after the game that he was pleased with his team’s offensive execution, and indeed the Seminoles did get a number of good early looks—both from close range and from outside—as Duke was pulling away. But an inexperienced Florida State (12-9, 4-4) squad could not convert enough to threaten the growing Duke lead as the Blue Devils’ focused offense registered six assists on its first nine field goals. “The quality of shot is improved with the number of assists for shots, because then they’re connecting plays. Usually an assisted bucket is more in rhythm,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I thought we had a lot of really good rhythm shots today.” The trend of assisted baskets would continue throughout the game for the Blue Devils, who assisted 20 of their 31 field goals on the afternoon, including six from Cook, five from Tyler Thornton in just 17 minutes of action, and three apiece from Sulaimon and Curry. Although it did not show up on

Seth Curry led Duke from beyond the arc, hitting 5-of-7 3-point attempts and finishing with a game-high 21 points. the stat sheet, Josh Hairston and Amile Jefferson provided an assist of a different kind for Mason Plumlee, who was forced to the bench after committing two fouls in a 90-second span at the midway point of the first period. Even against a Florida State frontcourt that features three 7-foot centers, including 7-foot-3 freshman Boris Bojanovsky, the 6-foot-8 duo of Hairston and Jefferson helped limit the Seminole frontcourt to just 11 rebounds. Jefferson continued his offensive maturation in the absence of Ryan Kelly as well, with an 11-point effort and a 4-for4 performance from the field. With a big lead and strong efforts from Hairston and Jefferson, Plumlee played just nine minutes before halftime. “We would’ve brought [Plumlee] back in if we would’ve started to lose the lead. I’m okay with playing a guy with two fouls,” Krzyzewski said. “But we were able to maintain it so we were able to keep him out,

which says a lot for our bench.” Plumlee’s 25 minutes were his secondfewest all season. “That’s something that I don’t know if we would’ve done earlier in the year,” Plumlee said. The contest was the first time all season that Plumlee has failed to register double digits in either scoring or rebounding, as he finished with eight points on 4-for-4 shooting and five rebounds. But even as Florida State recovered somewhat from its early shooting woes—finishing the game hitting 18 of its last 35 shots after missing 15 of its first 20 shots—Plumlee’s relative absence from the stat sheet was hardly noticeable given the relentless Duke shooting attack. The Blue Devils drained 11-of-18 3-pointers and the four non-Plumlee starters all reached double figures. Curry led the effort with a team-high 21 points on 5-of-7 shooting from deep while Sulaimon and Cook combined for 32 points on 6-for10 shooting from long range. The Seminoles were as shaky as Duke was stalwart, with 11 turnovers to just nine assists. Taking Florida State out of sync began with stopping Snaer, who Krzyzewski has consistently praised as one of the toughest players in the conference. When the two teams met at Cameron Indoor Stadium last season, Snaer drained a lastsecond 3-pointer to give the Seminoles the victory. Sulaimon was tasked with the “huge assignment” of guarding the 6-foot-5 senior and handled the task with aplomb. “I think that was Rasheed’s best defensive performance of the year, most certainly,” Krzyzewski said. The kudos for his defense comes just two games after Sulaimon’s offensive exploits carried the Blue Devils to a 20-point win over Maryland last Saturday, and that victory coupled with a pair of road wins this week indicate that Duke may be starting to settle into a new comfort zone after six games—and two losses—without star forward Ryan Kelly. “Today was a huge confidence booster,” Hairston said. “A lot of people still think we’re really not a good team without Ryan. Obviously we’re not the same team, but we’re still a good team. And so we’re still learning about ourselves every day.”

Blue Devils drop their first match Duke stays hot with two wins by Olivia Banks THE CHRONICLE
Following an upset at the hands of No. 25 Illinois Friday, the No. 5 Blue Devils showed their resilience with a 4-0 victory against No. 30 Notre Dame Sunday. “I was impressed with all six guys out there today,” wrote head coach Ramsey Smith in an email after the win against the Fighting Irish. “As a team we seemed to learn from the things that we did poorly on Friday, and we bounced back strong against Notre Dame.” Against Notre Dame, the pair of Raphael Hemmeler and Henrique Cunha—ranked No. 1 in the nation—continued their impressive doubles play, defeating the No. 51 ranked doubles team in the nation, Greg Andrews and Spencer Talmadge. After an unfortunate loss by No. 9 Michael Redlicki and Jason Tahir on court three, the pair of Fred Saba and Chris Mengel clinched the doubles point for the Blue Devils with an 8-6 victory against the Fighting Irish’s Ryan Bandy and Matt Dooley. “Chris and Fred didn’t play their best doubles match,” Smith wrote. “But they competed very well and kept their composure when ND made their run. Chris and Fred really came through in the clutch when the doubles point was on the line.” Cunha, a senior clinched the final singles point for the Blue Devils in a 6-4, 6-4, match victory against No. 80 Greg Andrews. “[Cunha is] off to a stellar start in his final spring season,” Smith wrote. “He’s our rock and our leader out there.” Cunha also won both his singles and doubles matches against Illinois, though

Henrique Cunha won both of his doubles and both of his singles matches this weekend. Hemmeler, Redlicki, Fred Saba and Brunco Semanzato lost in singles for the Blue Devils, who had won the doubles point. Still, the team was happy to bounce back with a win to wrap up the weekend.
“This was an important match for us to get back on track and a test for how we handle our first loss of the year,” Smith wrote. “I am proud of the way we regrouped and bounced back strong today.”
At the Davidson Duals this weekend, Duke extended its winning streak to four, beating SIU Edwardsville 38-9 and Davidson 38-6. All 10 Blue Devils won at least one match this weekend and sophomore Tanner Hough, redshirt sophomore Immanuel Kerr-Brown and redshirt freshman Marcus Cain won both matches that they competed in. Redshirt senior Peter Terrezza captured two wins with a pair of forfeits, and redshirt freshman Trey Adamson and sophomore Randy Roden went 2-0 with a forfeit each. Duke (6-5) jumped out to a 32-0 lead against SIU Edwardsville (2-14). The Cougars won the final three matches, but the 32-point deficit was too large to overcome. Just 10 minutes later, the Blue Devils retook the mat to face the Wildcats (6-9). After two matches, the score was tied at 6-6. Duke went on to win its final eight matches of the afternoon. The Blue Devils will hit the road Tuesday to take on Gardner-Webb. They will resume ACC competition next weekend at home against Maryland. —from staff reports

WELLS from page 2 was a lot going on for Chloe.� It was not only the number of shots that Wells drained that made the difference for Duke, it was when she hit those shots. After North Carolina’s Waltiea Rolle made a layup on an offensive rebound narrowing the Blue Devils’ lead—which had once been as large as 31—to 19, Wells made a 3-pointer with 8:09 left in the game to begin a 7-0 run for Duke that slowed the Tar Heels’ momentum. Many of Wells’ triples came off of broken plays in which the Duke post player was double- or triple-teamed before passing the ball to open perimeter shooters. Wells took full advantage of opportunities created by mismatches on screens and double-teams. “I think we stayed focused on the game plan. When we play inside-out, it’s pretty deadly,� Wells said. “We have excellent post down low so I know there’s a lot of attention on [Duke center Elizabeth Williams], and when she gets inside and gets three [defenders] on her, she’s looking for somebody, so I was expecting it.� In addition to Wells, a number of the Blue Devils’ role players made impacts off the bench. Tricia Liston and Richa Jackson came off the bench and scored a combined 23 points in 36 minutes on the floor. Even with Gray and Jones out of the lineup for chunks of the game, the team responded with Wells leading the charge. “We have a lot of confidence in this team and every member of it,� McCallie said. “Everybody practices really hard and you just have to be ready for any time, any circumstance, any situation. So if someone does get in foul trouble, somebody else can step up and fill in.� Wells’ high level of play against North Carolina highlighted the Blue Devils’

Second-half woes continue in rout of UNC W. BASKETBALL from page 2 Duke’s stifling defense held North Carolina to just 21.9 percent shooting in the first half, forcing 14 turnovers. The Tar Heels (20-3, 8-2) were unable to find any semblance of offensive rhythm in the game’s opening 20 minutes. But the second half told another story. The Blue Devils went to a zone defense in the early stages of the second half and North Carolina responded by taking advantage of Duke’s defensive miscues, capitalizing on miscommunications for easy lay-ins and finding holes in the zone for open 3-point attempts. “We’re just trying to mix it up and as you saw we got in all this funny foul trouble,” McCallie said. “That never helps the situation. So we tried to work on a couple things and mix it up, and some good things happen and some of them are notso-good things.” The Tar Heels came storming back, trimming the Blue Devil lead to 18 following a 21-6 run and bringing the home crowd to its feet. After battling foul trouble in the first half, freshman forward Xylina McDaniel came alive in the second period, scoring all 12 of her points after halftime, eight of which came during the North Carolina run. “The second half, it was just like ‘Hey, we’re down by 30. What do we have to lose? Let’s just go out there and give it all we’ve got and just play,’” Hatchell said. It was Duke’s 3-point shooting that silenced the run. Sophomore forward Tricia Liston knocked down a triple to stop the Tar Heel onslaught and Wells added her fifth 3-pointer of the game to push the Blue Devils’ advantage back to 22 points with 8:09 to play, effectively putting the game out of reach. North Carolina’s Tierra Ruffin-Pratt attempted to trim Duke’s deficit in the game’s closing minutes, scoring half of her 18 points in the game’s final 5:55. But it was another statistic—Ruffin-Pratt’s 11 turnovers on the afternoon—that defined the performance of the Tar Heels’ leading scorer. Although Duke’s play in the second half still left much room for improvement, McCallie said she viewed Sunday’s game as a positive step for her team. Despite the Blue Devils’ second-half slip-ups, the team was able to recover for, what was ultimately, a 21-point win against the 11th ranked team in the nation. “I think again our focus was excellent. Even when they got their run, we had poise and we were calm,” Wells said. “We didn’t get rattled. We went and looked at
