Smash Mouth singer talks band life, music Classic ’90s band Smash Mouth performed Friday at Keohane Amphitheater for the Duke University Union Joe College committee’s annual Old Duke event. Smash Mouth, originally formed in 1994, rose to stardom with their hit song “All-Star” and cover of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer,” both of which were featured in the original “Shrek” soundtrack. The Chronicle’s Georgia Parke, Julian Spector and Jisoo Yoon talked to lead singer Steve Harwell before the show about the band’s evolution, how they have stayed together for nearly 20 years and what he really thinks about Justin Bieber.

Q&A

The Chronicle: How has the music scene changed since the ’90s?

Steve Harwell: I think it changed for the worse, to be honest with you. I am not a big fan of what’s been coming out in the past 10 years. More recently there’s been some good stuff and kids today are going out and wearing Led Zepplin shirts and listening to classic rock and it’s making a full change. And the ’90s scene is making a full change too.

It’s on its way back. We just put together a big summer tour—with us, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Vertical Horizon—a 40date U.S. tour starting on July 4.

SYLVIE SPEWAK/THE CHRONICLE

Smash Mouth performs at Old Duke Friday. The concert is organized annually by the Joe College committee.

TC: You said the music scene is going downhill, but are there any current artists you are a fan of?

SH: I’m a huge Justin Bieber fan. I touch myself every day [listening].

TC: Really?

SH: No, just kidding... [but] I have respect for all artists. I’m a big Kings of Leon fan... the Fray, I like the Fray.

But because this is what we do everyday for a living, you don’t want to hear music. I hate concerts. I used to love them, and now we do it all the time.

Why do I want to watch what I do for a living? It’s not really my thing.... I have to come in and catch up once in a while on what’s really going on. That’s probably one of my downsides. Everybody else in my band, they go home and it’s music. They wake up, it’s music. For me, I get off stage, and I get back to see the world. I don’t bring my work home with me. If I’m in a studio making a record, I’m working on my projects, producing music. But I’m totally not that guy and I get s--t for it sometimes. I just want to go lay on the couch, with no underwear.

TC: Why are you called Smash Mouth?

SH: When we started we were a local [ska punk] band. I’m a huge sports fanatic, and there was a football coach and he came up with the name “smashmouth football.” I was just watching TV one day and we were making our first SEE SMASH MOUTH ON PAGE 4

Two Central Campus apartments were entered illegally between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Sunday morning.

The first occurred at 11 p.m., when the robber entered a third-floor apartment through a sliding glass door, said junior Traci King, the apartment’s resident. The suspect was described as a “male with a medium, dark complexion wearing a gray t-shirt and denim shorts,” according to a Duke Alert sent at around 3 a.m. Sunday.

The suspect then rummaged around the kitchen and living room before entering the dark bedroom, where King was lying in bed. The man fumbled with multiple light switches before turning on one of the bedside lamps and seeing the apartment’s owner. Upon seeing the resident, the suspect apologized and left the apartment.

“I think he wasn’t expecting someone to be in here, he just wanted to grab stuff quickly and leave. He saw me and he didn’t really want to be there,” King said.

“He didn’t pull anything on me. I think I

almost startled him by being there.”

Although the suspect did leave once he encountered King, Caitlin Plaut, King’s roommate who was not present at the time of the robbery, said the man took two pairs of sunglasses and King’s wallet.

She noted that three incidents of robbery happened on the same night. Aside from King and Plaut’s apartment, another Central Campus apartment was entered by an unknown man and, according to Plaut, a house off-campus was robbed as well.

“It’s possible that there were a group of people working together. It happens exactly at the time when people should be out,” King said. “It was too early for him to really expect me to be asleep because I normally wouldn’t be on a Saturday night at that time.”

King said that she called the police immediately after the robbery, and they arrived within minutes. She also said the police took fingerprints of the entire SEE CENTRAL ON PAGE 12

Brodhead lauds alum gifts

by Carleigh Stiehm THE CHRONICLE

The value of a Duke education will never be matched by online alternatives, President Richard Brodhead told alumni.

During his Reunion Weekend speech, Brodhead said generous donations from alumni are vital in keeping the Duke community fun and innovative. The combined Annual Fund gifts of the 10 returning classes totaled more than $14.7 million. In his speech, Brodhead also addressed the recent trend towards online course offerings.

“As you return to Duke, I would like to say welcome home,” Brodhead said. “Nice people, when they go back home, they bring a little gift.”

Over 4,000 alums returned to Duke this weekend, said Jeff Howard, Trinity ’76 who is president of the Duke Alumni Association board.

Although many things—like construction on campus and the addition of programs like DukeEngage—are different from when the alumni graduated, the fundamental campus environment remains unchanged, Brodhead said. He added that campus culture is a mix of work and play.

“Where the education begins and leaves off, who knows,” Brodhead said. “On this campus, the spirit of fun and discovery are all linked together.”

Among recent changes is the University’s move toward providing

JISOO YOON/THE CHRONICLE

Brodhead speaks to alumni about changes to the University. an online curriculum—this spring, Duke offered 11 courses through Coursera, an online education platform that provides the global community with free access to video lectures, assessments and discussion boards from notable institutions.

In response to concerns about the role that an expensive university will play in a world increasingly turning to inexpensive and convenient online classes, Brodhead said the value of a Duke education extends beyond what is learned within the classroom.

“There are things that you will never be able to learn online,” he said.

For example, online classes do not offer the opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities or

interact with classmates who are the most valuable learning resources, he added.

Without contributions from alumni, the Duke experience would not be possible, Brodhead said.

“Sometimes it seems that universities raise money as if raising money is our goal,” he said.

Although at times universities seem to raise money solely for the sake of raising money, funds raised at the University allow for a 100 percent need-blind admissions process and provide students with an experience unique to Duke, Brodhead noted. Currently, the University spends more than $120 million each year to provide more than 50 percent of undergraduate students some form of financial aid.

Duke’s reputation continues to build and attract more applicants every year, Brodhead said. He added that alumni are responsible for ensuring future Duke students have the opportunity to experience Duke the same way that previous classes have.

The Class of 1983 raised the most with over $3.1 million, said Sterly Wilder, Trinity ’83, who is associate vice president of alumni affairs. The Class of 2008, back for their fifth reunion, was the most represented class with 631 alumni returning to campus.

“If you have the capacity to be better, then you have the obligation to be better,” Brodhead concluded, quoting men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Alumni sound-off Hundreds of alumni descended on the campus this weekend to connect with old friends and reminisce about their time at Duke. The Chronicle’s YunChu Huang and Aubrey Temple spoke with several alumni—some who were students as far back as 1953—to ask about their most memorable moments in college and how the University has changed since they were last here.

“I got a degree and a wife out of it.”

—Carr McClain, Trinity ’88 “When my father lived in Epworth, the squirrels would come in through the windows and steal his socks.” “[1968] was a real activist year, and it was the year that Martin Luther King got killed, and there was a big vigil on the quadrangle.”

—Tom Harris, Trinity ’68, Law ’71 “We decided on a prank that would be non-destructive and ultimate. So what we did is we turned the [Crowell] clock tower… into a Mickey Mouse clock.”

—John Tyson, School of Engineering ’81 “I called on [former football head coach] Wallace Wade… and he presented to me a trophy to auction. [It] was auctioned off by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and raised $10,000 for children’s cancer research.”— Alan Talpalar, Trinity ’83 “I used to sit outside around the corner of the [Duke] Chapel with friends talking about existentialism and philosophy and the meaning of life… The seeds of what I have done in the past 40 years were planted here.”

—Stephen Conover, Trinity ’73 “I lived right here in House C [on West Campus]… and when we moved to East campus, I was highly upset.”

—Reid Lewis, Trinity ’84 “We had a curfew at 9:30 every night.”

—Bernice Larson, Woman’s College ’53 “One of the biggest values of Duke is the building of everlasting relationships” —Eskinder Zewdu, Pratt ’11 “One of the most important things to do here at Duke is to form relationships with faculty members.”

SMASH MOUTH from page 1 record and we had a list on the wall at the studio of [band] names and... I was like “F-k that’s it, we’re Smash Mouth.” He never trademarked [the name] so we got away with it. Even today, when you’re watching SportsCenter, you’ll see smashmouth football.

TC: What is your secret to success for staying together so long?

SH: My original band, we got together as a garage band and separated after high school. Then I got into the hip-hop scene... [but] I wanted to be in a rock band. I scouted a couple guys locally, cover bands in bars.... We turned out and did our thing and we were successful.

Being around each other every damn day, it’s like a marriage. Some day you’re going to get divorced and maybe get back together. That’s what happened with us.

You have to say, ‘I’m not breaking up, I’m not stopping.’ Throughout [everything]... people are getting married, people are having kids, people are getting divorced.

What really kept us together is keeping our spouses out.... Friends, wives, girlfriends, they make you crazy, and you start buying into certain things. [Then] when you’re on the road, you start dissing each other.

At the end of the day, I think the biggest thing about a band being together is [to not] let it become about the money. That’s the biggest thing. It’s the money.

Our original guitar player, his ex-wife, she absolutely tried to ruin my relationship with him. She wanted him to be the star. She had her own aspirations, and that’s where it all went to s--t. We’ve gotten into lawsuits, and now we hate each other. I could name 100 bands where once it became that, it’s not fun anymore.

THE CHRONICLE

It’s not easy. Marriage isn’t easy. Boyfriend and girlfriend isn’t easy.

TC: What’s the biggest challenge about life on tour?

SH: Being in a band together, you’ve got to figure it out when you’re on a tour bus together. Tour buses, they look really big, but they get really small really quick. You need the space. You’ll be on the bus and everybody’s up front so I’ll go in the back. Then they go to the back and I go to the middle.

I’m like, ‘I don’t want to see anybody right now.’ The way Smash Mouth feels right now is the way it felt back in 1997. It feels young and fresh, and we get along to the point that it feels like the fame’s not there, that the money is not there. It still feels like we are so hungry to go get it. It feels like all that stuff is not in the way, and knowing that changes the attitude.

At this point in my career I can pick and choose when I want to go on the road.

I’m kind of back in a relationship and it’s already hard.... You’re gone for six months at a time—I’m getting text messages like, ‘What the f--k are you doing, when are you coming home.’ Relationships are the hardest part—there’s got to be a trust level and there’s got to be a communication level too. That’s a really hard part of this band.

When you don’t have communication with each other, that’s when it all goes to s--t....

The worst thing you can say to someone is ‘I’m turning my phone off.’ That’s the worst f—ing thing.

TC: Do you ever get tired of playing “All Star”?

SH: Never. I never get sick of playing any of those songs. You go to each show and this is what people want to hear and I love doing it. I love a cool crowd. If I didn’t play it, you’d be f—ing pissed.

COWAN from page 1 [Duke’s] rigorous academic climate, but they also had to adjust to the social climate,” Swain said. “Duke has since grown in diversity, activism and leadership.”

Also recognized at the event were the first black graduate students to attend Duke, including School of Medicine graduates Jean Spaulding and Delano Meriwether, School of Law graduate David Robinson and School of Nursing alumna Donna Harris.

In his speech, Cowan described the original progress that was made by “the first five” and the continued growth of Duke as an innovative school despite the actions of national political figures who supported segregation at the time. The first five, all of whom were southerners, grew up in the midst of the violent civil rights movement as the South became the catalyst for the struggle.

“It is necessary to recognize that the time is always right to do right for Duke University—that time was 1963, and it brought us the first five,” Cowan said.

While introducing Cowan, President Richard Brodhead specifically cited the Divinity School as an early supporter of integration in Duke’s history. The Divinity School lobbied for integration at Duke more than 13 years before Duke’s graduate and professional schools became officially integrated in 1961 and its undergraduate school in 1963, Brodhead said.

“Duke was not on a trajectory course of progress,” he said. “It took actual young men and women to walk through those doors. That act made us what we are now—a place of equal progress.”

In addition to the problem of physical segregation in the United States until the ’60s, Cowan noted that many students of

color, especially those from urban areas, have lacked and still lack the resources necessary to attend top schools, receive a solid education and thrive in the current economy. He recounted his own experiences as a middle and high school student on an advanced track, while the other black students in his school were placed on tracks that limited their future opportunities.

“Still one-fifth of African-American high school students will not graduate from high school like our first five did and follow in their footsteps,” Cowan said.

When noting the challenges that still exist on Duke’s campus today, Cowan implicitly cited the controversial party in February that led to widespread media attention.

“What does this say about Duke’s evolution that a few student groups still throw parties with offensive ethnic and racial themes?” Cowan asked. “Are we where we should be as a university? And what is the deal with black student weekend?”

Despite the questions brought up by these instances of cultural tension that prevail on campus, Cowan said Duke has, in fact, progressed a noteworthy amount.

“We are here today at a place and time where we are able to debate those very questions... something that was not the case for our first five,” Cowan said.

In keeping with the theme of the event, titled “Celebrating the Past, Charting the Future,” Cowan concluded by evaluating what advancements Duke still needs to make based on the progress it has seen in its history.

“Events like today’s allow us to discuss where we are and where we still need to go,” he said. “The time is now to ensure that future generations and many more will have the opportunity to follow the pathway blazed by the first five, our trailblazers.”

Boone shines in Duke football’s Spring Game

by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE

Four months removed from its first bowl appearance in 18 years, Duke took a glimpse into the future at the team’s annual Spring Game.

The split-squad scrimmage took place Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium and was the first public showcase of the Blue Devils’ 2013 squad. The Spring Game pitted the Blue team—comprised of Duke’s first-team offense and second-team defense—against a White squad that was made up of the team’s second-team offense and first-team defense.

The Blue team prevailed 27-12 behind big afternoons from starting quarterback Anthony Boone and wide receiver Jamison Crowder.

“One of the things you see is that this team has a lot of playmakers on offense,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “We lost playmakers in Conner [Vernon], Desmond [Scott] and Sean [Renfree], but I think we have a large number of people who can make plays on offense.”

Making his first start as the Blue Devils’ new fulltime quarterback, Boone recovered from a rocky start to turn in a solid performance at the Spring Game. Despite throwing two interceptions in the first quarter, one of which came from a poor read and one from an unfortunate tipped ball, the redshirt junior recovered to finish with 273 yards on 18-of-30 passing and two touchdowns to go along with the two picks.

Overthrowing some deep patterns and struggling with fade routes in the red zone, Boone showed that he still has considerable work left to do this summer, but his connection with Crowder

was spot on from the opening kickoff. Crowder only participated in his team’s first few possessions before yielding to younger receivers, but he made an impact in his short time on the field, reeling in four catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns.

“I felt like I had a couple more touchdowns in me, but the coaches were telling me I was done pretty early,” Crowder said. “Boone and I already have a connection coming from the same area, so it felt good to go out there and show the fans that we had a great connection throwing and catching. It’s something to look forward to heading into the season.”

Following Crowder’s early exit, sophomore Max McCaffrey took over for the Blue team at receiver.

Displaying the strides that earned him the team’s Most Improved award on offense this offseason, McCaffrey was a reliable target for Boone over the middle, grabbing four catches for 50 yards and navigating through defensive traffic with relative ease.

“Max McCaffrey has had one hell of a spring. He’s stepped up and made plays and has really shined,” Boone said. “It just shows you that these guys are on scholarship for a reason, and they can make great plays.”

The game’s second half focused largely on the ground attack, which featured Boone as a threat in Duke’s new zone-read running scheme. Boone was unable to finish most of his runs because quarterbacks aren’t allowed to be hit in the Spring Game, but the offense looked in sync in the rushing attack.

Josh Snead was the Blue squad’s most effective back on the afternoon, gaining 67 yards on 11 carries and scoring a touchdown.

Duke doesn’t yield a set to Miami FSU bats dominate

Matching the Durham weather all week, the Blue Devils came out ablaze against Miami Sunday, not allowing the Hurricanes to win a single set in the match.

No. 9 Duke (19-4, 4-1 in the ACC) squashed Miami 7-0 to bring its win streak to five in a row.

“Overall, it was a really solid effort, especially in singles,” Blue Devil head coach Ramsey Smith said. “We didn’t lose a set, didn’t really come close to losing a set. Miami is a solid team and I am really happy with our performance.”

Jason Tahir paced the Blue Dev0 MIA ils on the singles side DUKE 7 against Miami (1310, 2-6). The sophomore was the first to finish off his opponent, allowing Victor Mauz to take just one game in the match for a 6-0, 6-1 victory.

“He just didn’t really have a great game plan of how to win points, and it just boiled over [causing him to hit balls at the wall],” Tahir said. “And when you see your opponent doing that, it definitely makes you more confident.”

Duke entered this weekend’s series as heavy underdogs to a No. 7 Florida State squad that had lost just six times all year. Unable to contain the Seminoles’ potent offense, the Blue Devils were dispatched in all three games, losing 16-2, 8-5 and 8-3.

Blue Devils beat UVA in a shootout

by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE

When senior David Lawson scored the game’s opening goal to give Duke a 1-0 lead against rival Virginia just 49 seconds into the contest, the Blue Devil bench erupted into celebration. Little did they know, Lawson’s strike opened the floodgates for an offensive barrage for both teams.

Thanks to a seven-goal run in the fourth quarter, the No. 8 16 Blue Devils (10-4, 2-1 UVA the ACC) came DUKE 19 in away with a 19-16 comeback victory Friday night at Koskinen Stadium to extend their winning streak to eight games.

The game was the highest-scoring contest between the two teams in their 77 meetings since 1938. When the dust settled, the Blue Devils and Virginia combined for 35 goals and 95 shots on the evening.

“Not only ACC games, but especially Virginia, it’s one of those kind of things where everything else in the world goes out the window,” junior attack Josh Dionne said.

“At the end of the day—our records, their records—nothing really matters when we play them. It’s just like a war, and at the end of the 60 minutes, you look at the board and see what happened.”

The first half had no shortage of action.

Seemingly every time a player wound up to take a shot, it found the back of the net, and each time Duke scored a goal the Cavaliers had an answer. The Blue Devils held the upper hand throughout the first half but could only extend their lead to three goals before a Virginia (5-7, 0-3) run to end the half sent both teams into the locker room with the score tied at 9-9.

SAM JACTEL/THE CHRONICLE

Junior Josh Dionne’s five goals led the Blue Devils to victory in a high-scoring contest.

When the teams emerged for the second half, the Cavaliers seized the momentum with an early goal from junior attacker Mark Cockerton—who led all scorers with six goals on the evening—less than a minute into the third quarter. Virginia’s shift to a zone defensive scheme held the Blue Devil offense silent for the first time all evening, and the Cavaliers added three more goals, including two from Cockerton, to take a 13-9 lead.

When Duke head coach John Danowski called a timeout to rally his troops, his team’s six-week winning streak hung dangerously in the balance.

“We recognized that we needed to talk to the guys a little bit and take a deep breath,” Danowski said. “I give Virginia a lot of credit because they played a little differently conceptually than we saw on film. We were so concerned with winning battles this week that we didn’t play great off the ball.”

In the closing seconds of the third quarter, Virginia’s Rob Emery found a hole in the Blue Devil defense and took advantage, sending the Cavaliers into the fourth quarter with a 14-12 lead.

The whistle blew for the final period, and Duke never looked back. Midfielder Jake Tripucka sniped a shot from the top of the box to pull the Blue Devils back within one before assisting on Duke’s next two goals, finding Josh Offit for another shot from long range and Dionne in the middle of the Cavalier zone to give Duke its first lead of the second half.

Tripucka finished the game with seven points on three goals and four assists. Dionne led the team with five goals, including three in the Blue Devils’ 7-0 fourth-quarter run to put the game away.

“Josh [Dionne] has been tremendously consistent from day one, and he is incredibly coachable. He’s a sponge, and he’s just gaining confidence each week,” Danowski said. “Jake is one of our best overall athletes on this team.

There is really nothing he can’t do.”

Duke’s run was sparked by the tenacious play of midfielder Brendan Fowler at the faceoff X. Despite struggling throughout the third quarter against Virginia’s Mick Parks, Fowler recovered in the fourth quarter and went a perfect 9-for-9 on draws, giving the Blue Devils crucial possession during their decisive run.

The key for Fowler at the faceoff X was his intensity in the ground-ball battle. Squaring off with the top ground-ball team in the SEE M. LACROSSE ON PAGE 4

Short-handed Duke falls again

by Sarah Elsakr THE CHRONICLE

The No. 9 Blue Devils left the courts with mixed results this weekend—after showing their determination with a comeback win against Florida State, they fell the next day to No. 10 Miami.

For the second consecutive weekend, the team headed into both its matches at DUKE 4 a disadvantage with just five healthy play3 FSU ers and was forced to forfeit a singles 0 DUKE and doubles match.

4 MIA Despite this, Duke (14-6, 5-3 in the ACC) did not fold under pressure and went into the weekend’s play ready to handle the challenge.

“They’re all good players, and they all believe in themselves and believe in each other,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “We talked a lot about playing with pride and playing with character because at the end of the day tennis is an individual sport, so whether they’re out there with six players or ten players or three players they still have to perform.”

Although they left Tallahassee with a win, Duke got off to a rough start against the Seminoles (12-6, 4-3). After forfeiting the first doubles match, the Blue Devils lost the doubles point after Florida State’s Amy Sargeant and Mia Vriens defeated Duke duo junior Marianne Jodoin and sophomore Annie Mulholland 8-2.

With the exception of senior Nicole Lipp’s 6-0, 6-2 loss, however, the Blue Devil women were able to rally during singles play. Jodoin came back from her doubles loss to take an early lead in her first set and eventually close

Annie Mulholland took the decisive match against the Seminoles, but Duke fell short against Miami. a 6-2, 6-4 victory while Mary Clayton held off Segarelli on court two for a 7-6 (8-6), 6-1 win.

No. 23 Hanna Mar also staved off a tough opponent in the top singles spot.

It came down to Mulholland’s match with Sargeant on court three which had gotten off to a rocky start for the Blue Devil when she secured only a single game in the first set.

Despite here initial struggles, Mulholland was able to take the second and third sets 6-4, 6-4, to end the match.

“When it came down to it, I thought that we were better in pressure situations than they

were,” Ashworth said. “We lost some first sets and we just kept fighting and kept playing all the way through the end of the matches.”

The Blue Devils were unable to keep up their momentum when they faced off with the Hurricanes (16-4, 7-2), losing 4-0.

“In Miami we got down quickly, very quickly, on all courts,” Mar said. “As a team, they were playing very, very well. Personally, in my match, I was struggling and my opponent was not giving me anything.”

In addition to the Tahir-Redlicki tandem, Duke also has a powerful duo playing on court one. The nation’s No. 1 doubles team of senior Henrique Cunha and sophomore Raphael Hemmeler are 30-3 on the season. “[Tahir and Redlicki’s] styles match pretty well, and they are both big guys,” Smith said.

“They play really big-boy aggressive tennis and they could even win at the one position.”

Cunha also continued his dominant singles season with another win on court one, defeating Miami’s Diego Soto 6-1, 6-1. The Jau, Brazil native is currently undefeated in spring play. Hemmeler was also successful in singles, cruising to a 6-3, 6-3 decision against Marco Stancati. On court four, junior Chris Mengel routed Hurricane Omar Aly in an impressive 6-2, 6-0 victory.

On court two, Fred Saba downed Miami’s Gabriel Flores. And finally, Redlicki closed out the match with a 6-4, 6-3 victory at the third singles spot.

The Blue Devils will return to the court this weekend to take on Boston College Friday and N.C. State Sunday at Ambler Tennis Stadium in Duke’s last matches of the regular season.

Duke dropped the doubles point again, with Mar and Clayton falling 8-5 to Miami’s Clementina Riohueno and Monique Albuquerque. Mar followed that up with a 6-4, 6-2 loss to No. 79 Stephani Wagner.

In singles the losses continued to roll in as Lipp was unable to secure a win on court fivee while Clayton lost to Kelsey Laurente in thee No. 2 spot. Jodoin was also defeated, breakingg h her streak of 21 consecutive singles wins with her loss against Riohueno on court three.

“We pitched p up p in the zone too much [all weekend],” Pollard said. “Florida State laid off some pitcher’s pitches early in the count, so we had to pitch from behind in the count a lot, which gave them good opportunities to hit.”

The Blue Devils weren’t sharp defensively Friday, as two Duke errors led to two Seminole runs. Florida State spread the offense around with four Seminoles picking up three hits apiece. The Seminoles notched 16 hits while Duke managed eight against Florida State starter Luke Weaver and the Seminole bullpen.

The series was originally scheduled to go through Sunday, but the threat of severe thunderstorms forced the teams into playing two games Saturday.

In game one of the day-night doubleheader, the Seminole offense was again too much for Duke to handle. Leading 1-0 in the third inning, Florida State strung together three singles and a groundout to push the score to 3-0 against Duke starter Drew Van Orden. Catcher Stephen McGee continued the rally with a tworun homer to bring the score to 5-0. The blast was followed by a second dinger by Jose Brizuela, who went 3-for-3 at the plate. Van Orden was tagged for seven runs on 12 hits in seven innings while striking out eight.

best interests in mind will set the standard for online education. Instead of stalling, Duke should confront the issue squarely and work to produce a model for online education that incorporates the benefits of an online platform without compromising academic quality. To this end, we need to reimagine the framework of the debate. The discussion should not revolve around whether or not Duke ought to offer credit for online courses. Instead, we should ask, “what kind of online experience is one that would be worthy of credit?”

In our opinion, the experience offered by the proposed Semester Online is inadequate. The model, which supplements recorded lectures with discussions led by teaching assistants, will likely

not work for seminar classes that depend on sustained interaction with professors and other students. Although many in the humanities fear that online courses are fundamentally incompatible with an interactive seminar model, the inadequacy of the Semester Online model does not preclude the possibility that a different platform could offer ways for humanities courses to thrive in an online format. If deployed thoughtfully, online courses could enhance collaboration in the humanities, bringing professors and students from institutions across the world together to debate and discuss.

Although professors and students have a number of different reasons for opposing online education, many

of their concerns reflect a fear that an educational model they believe to have intrinsic value will be replaced by online courses. There may also be a fear that the incremental addition of online courses will lead the University down a slippery slope to offering degrees only through online courses. Although we share many of those fears, online courses are quickly becoming a fixture of higher education that, sooner or later, we will have to address.

If the University finds the Semester Online model lacking, it should take care not to reject online education entirely, but to seek out new implementation models that better reflect Duke’s academic commitments, strengths and priorities.

lettertotheeditor A call for conversation: sustainable food at Duke For years, students have celebrated Bon Appetit’s patronage of local vendors through its Farm-to-Fork program in the Marketplace and Great Hall. Consequently, many of us were surprised and disappointed upon reading the April 4 article, “Duke dining puts local vendors on hiatus.” This sudden “pause” on local purchasing reveals a larger issue: a lack of consistency and transparency in Duke Dining’s approach to sustainability.

We believe Duke Dining understands the social and environmental benefits of purchasing local food. As concerned consumers, we seek a more complete explanation for the change in purchasing behavior. The sudden hiatus reveals a disconnect between our University’s food operations and the realities of agricultural production. Curtailing orders so abruptly presents challenges to producers and reflects poorly on the sincerity of Duke Dining’s relationships with its vendors.

Recent events also highlight a discrepancy between Duke’s mission-driven commitment to sustainability and its current dining practices. Duke’s environmental policy, signed by President Brodhead in 2005, commits the University to demonstrate leadership in both “environmentally responsible

operations” and “environmental stewardship in the community.” However, Duke still lacks a sustainability framework to guide its 33 campus eateries, which range from small, locally-owned ventures to opaque corporate franchises. While Duke Dining engages in some sustainable practices—composting food waste, for example—it lags behind well-established sustainability programs like the Duke Carbon Offset Initiative.

On behalf of student groups Food4Thought and the Duke Food Project, we invite Rick Johnson and his colleagues to an open conversation about Duke Dining and sustainability. We invite students, faculty, staff and vendors to join us in learning more about Duke Dining’s purchasing priorities and policies. We hope this meeting will open a productive dialogue between Duke Dining and its stakeholders about how to maintain an environmentally sound and ethical dining system while satisfying the needs of all parties.

This conversation will be held on Wednesday, April 17 at 3p.m. in the Center for LGBT Life. All interested parties are encouraged to attend.

T

he pariah state of North Korea has been on the minds of many international observers for the last couple weeks. Kim Jong Un’s increased belligerency and threats have become more and more difficult to ignore. The North Korean Central News Agency has threatened “an all-out [nuclear] war” and has warned South Korea that the peninsula is entering a state of conflict. The New York Times recently reported, “North colin scott Korea warned foreigners on the view from carr Tuesday that they might want to leave South Korea because the peninsula was on the brink of nuclear war.” On April 9, former Vice President Dick Cheney warned House Republicans, “We’re in deep doo doo” over North Korea. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel stated that North Korea is “skating very close to a dangerous line.” Defense officials, according to NBC, are “‘highly confident’ that North Korea is planning the imminent launch of a medium-range missile.” Tensions seem to be at an all-time high, and the threat of armed conflict seems very likely, if not imminent. In response to these threats America has moved some its missile defense systems toward the West Coast, and Japan has deployed similar units in Tokyo. As dangerous as this situation seems, we have been here before with North Korea and likely will be again before this decrepit state breathes its last threat.

The regime in Pyongyang has a storied tradition of instigating conflict with South Korea. On March 28, 2008, North Korea tested a series of short-range missiles and threatened the stability of international relations. In July 2003, North Korea fired a machine gun at a South Korean guard post, prompting increased tensions on both sides of the DMZ. On June 29, 2002, North Korean patrol boats sunk a South Korean frigate, triggering worldwide alarm. In July 2007, North Korea promised to shut down their nuclear reactors, only to renounce that commitment and kick out the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors in 2009. In March 2010, North Korea likely sunk a South Korean warship with a torpedo. Going back even further in time, North Korea sanctioned a commando raid into Seoul aimed at killing the South Korean president in 1968. The list goes on and on with examples of the warmongering and seemingly irrational behavior of this totalitarian regime. In fact, the Wilson Center’s “International History Declassified” archive has over 72 documents in the collection titled “North Korean Military Adventurism.” To say the least, North Korea has a history of erratic behavior. This latest spasm of rhetoric shouldn’t cause alarm. The peninsula has been in a constant state of conflict since the end of the Korean War. The question, then, is why North Korea continually subscribes to this pattern of hostile and frankly uncomfortable behavior.

The absolute control of this police state is horrifying and helps to explain the country’s behavior in recent weeks. Refugees and laborers who escape the clutches of this backwards country have harrowing tales of the lives they used to live. This system is clearly only kept together by force. Threatening the West creates an external adversary that allows Kim Jong Un to divert attention from his horrid domestic policies. This international blustering is nothing but a tactic, and not a particularly original one at that. Kim Jong Un’s father, Kim Jong Il, previously used this tactic to solicit humanitarian aid and supplies from the international community. It would not be surprising to see his son attempt such a move in the near future. North Korea is in dire economic straits. Aid from the West is necessary to keep the regime from collapsing.

Thankfully, The New York Times reports that White House officials have “settled on a strategy of refusing to make concessions to the North.” This is a good policy and one that can hopefully break the cycle of provocation that North Korea has traditionally relied upon. Once Kim Jong Un realizes that scaring the world into providing humanitarian aid will not work, then maybe he will move toward a more constructive form of engagement. Considering the regime’s past history, this seems highly unlikely—but anything is better than appeasing this dysfunctional, bellicose nation.

The rhetoric from Pyongyang might become even more hostile in the days to come, but it is highly unlikely that it will be backed up by action.

John Dailey, chief of the Duke University Police Department, could not be reached for comment in time for publication.

The resident coordinator checked in and asked how her parents would react, King noted.

“Central Campus’ resident coordinator…specifically asked me, ‘How do you think your parents are going to react—are they going to be mad? Are they going to freak out?’” King said.

The police told King that Duke’s campus is an “easy target” because students leave various items lying around their living spaces, she said.

Residence Life, wrote in an email Monday that the two incidents were similar in that the suspects gained access through unlocked doors.”

The Duke Alert reported the same information, but King noted that she was unsure if her door was, in fact, unlocked.

Although the police questioned King directly after the incident, the residents noted that several pieces of information stated in the Duke Alert were incorrect or vague.

The alert stated that an “unknown male came into their apartments” but did not mention any details of a robbery, though some of Plaut and King’s items were taken.

Plaut noted that the most surprising part of the incident was that she never expected it to happen to her.

“You don’t expect to wake up with somebody in your room. When I first moved in, where our building is, it’s really sketchy,” Plaut said. “Since freshman year, we would always see emails saying there’s an incident on Central Campus… but I didn’t think we’d get broken into.”

Epigenetics involves the study of factors that determine how and when genes are used. Epigenetic characteristics can be passed from father to child. These characteristics are erased and reset during sperm formation, which occurs throughout the lifetime of adult males. We are interested in finding out how exposure to certain environmental pollutants and obesity influence the resetting of these epigenetic features in sperm.
