Gene patent Med. Pavilion ready for move-in ruling irks some experts by Julian Spector THE CHRONICLE
Duke responds to Supreme Court decision by Georgia Parke THE CHRONICLE
Duke professors and alumni have expressed mixed reactions about the recent Supreme Court decision to outlaw natural genome patenting. In the midst of a session concerning various controversial topics including affirmative action and same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics that it is not lawful to patent naturally occurring human genomes, even if they are engineered to be isolated. Myriad, a molecular diagnostic company, patented the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 after isolating them several years ago. The genes have been linked to a higher risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Because Myriad did not change or create the genes isolated, it is not eligible to claim a patent on BRCA1 and BRCA2. The Court ruled that artificial versions of the genes, however, are eligible for patenting. Misha Angrist, assistant professor of the practice at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, agreed with the ruling to an extent. He said that while access to screening will now be made widely available by striking down the ruling, a better ruling would have outlawed patenting artificial versions of existing molecules. “If I consult my imagination and make up a sequence that doesn’t exist in nature, I would say yes, you should be able to patent that,” Angrist said. “But if I take an existing molecule and I reverse engineered it—I simply make the DNA equivalent of that RNA molecule— you could technically say that doesn’t exist in nature. I would say, maybe not, but you didn’t invent it either.” There is an added complexity to the ruling when taking into account the legality of artificial genes, noted Shamoor Anis, Law ’13. He added that the Court states that even two genes carrying the exact same information that exist only when isolated must be treated differently. “The cDNA—which holds the same information as the isolated DNA, but SEE PATENT ON PAGE 3

After three and a half years and nearly $600 million, Duke Hospital’s glass-walled Medical Pavilion opened its doors to the public this weekend. The building opens for patients July 29, but visitors young and old toured the facility Saturday, wandering through art-lined hallways to view state-of-the-art medical units. The pavilion will introduce new medical technologies and expand the patient capacity of the hospital. With more patients seeking treatment in the Medical Pavilion, Duke North’s operating rooms will be able to undergo incremental renovations. “To be successful long term we need to create the right space [where] people can work together and succeed,” said Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of the Duke University Health System. “Now we have a wonderful place, and a very uplifting environment to work with.” The pavilion adds 44 pre-operation bays and 18 operation rooms to Duke North’s 69 pre-op bays and 37 operating rooms, said Duchess Diard, clinical operations director for the Peri-Anesthesia Care Unit. The new units are generally bigger and have more advanced technology than the older facility. For example, a patient lying in the new pre-op bays will have their vitals monitored and connected to the nurse’s phone, so the nurse can respond quickly if there are any sudden changes.

West Union renovations still halted by Carleigh Stiehm THE CHRONICLE
In their meeting Friday, the executive committee of the Board of Trustees did not have an opportunity to advance the West Union renovations, which were halted by the Board in May. Comprising 12 of the Board’s 36 members, the executive committee—which can exercise all powers of the Board—convenes at points between the Board’s four annual meetings. The impending renovations to West Union were among the topics discussed, although no decisions were made to move forward with the renovations, Michael Schoenfeld, vice president of public affairs and government relations, wrote in an email Sunday. In a previous interview with The Chronicle, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta noted that the executive committee had the ability to sign off on various aspects of the renovations in order to allow work to begin on the building before the Board saw the revised
plans at its October meeting. This weekend’s meeting, however, did not yield such a result. “The executive committee covered a number of routine administrative and personnel matters, reviewed planning for upcoming board meetings and committees, and was updated on major initiatives, like online education, innovation and entrepreneurship and campus construction, including West Union,” Schoenfeld said. “The architects will be reviewing their new plans with the administration soon so no decisions were made.” At the Trustees’ May 14 meeting, they chose not to approve the final plans for the renovations of West Union. The remodel—funded by an $80 million donation from the Charlotte-based Duke Endowment—was originally scheduled to begin this summer, and organizations began to move their offices out of the building in early May. But because the Board did not agree on the designs, construction has been postponed.

The official summary of actions taken at the executive committee meeting did not include any mention of the West Union renovations. Current Board Chair Rick Wagoner, Trinity ’75, and incoming chair David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70, deferred comment to Schoenfeld. In other business The executive committee also approved appointments to the DUHS board of directors, the submission of the certificate of need and approval of funding for the Duke North Hospital renovation and a resolution of tribute to Coach John Danowski and the men’s lacrosse team. President Richard Brodhead and Provost Peter Lange provided the updates at the meeting, Schoenfeld said. The committee also received updates on key initiatives, reviewed results of board performance in 2012-2013 and discussed strategic issues related to the health system.
Q&A with Doctor Jeffrey Lawson, Page 2

Q&A with Jeffrey Lawson In 1998 when I met Dr. Niklason, we were both interested in this and we started working together. After about 15 years of work, of research, of writing, of grants, we finally got it. She formed a company, Humacyte, to work with it—it’s a Duke spinoff, manufacturing biotech tissue engineering company right here in the Triangle.
by Emma Baccellieri THE CHRONICLE
On June 5th, Duke’s Dr. Jeffrey Lawson implanted a genetically engineered blood vessel into the arm of a man with kidney failure—the first time that such a procedure had been done in the United States. The technology was developed at Duke over the course of several years by Dr. Lawson and Dr. Laura Niklason, who was a faculty member from 1998 to 2005. The Chronicle’s Emma Baccellieri spoke with Lawson about the project. The Chronicle: How would you describe the project in layman’s terms? Jeffrey Lawson: We set out to make something that really would mimic your own blood vessel. The replacement blood vessels we have right now are mostly artificial materials— made of Teflon, plastic, knitted fabrics—and although they’re strong, they don’t mimic what your body makes. What we’ve done is grow the culture in the shape of a tube. We set out to use vascular cells—the muscular cells that make arteries— from the aorta and realign them with endothelial cells. We learned early on that we could do that, but we couldn’t manufacture them in large enough quantities for clinical use. What we do now is grow the blood vessel in the lab with human cells, in the shape of tube the size of your little finger—about 40 centimeters long—initially made from cells collected from organ donors. It’s a biodegradable scaffold, and as the scaffold melts away, the cells that are seated into that scaffold make their own matrix—they stick. It took a long time to figure out how to grow them strong enough, to grow enough collagen, to make it available to be universally implantable. We kill the cells in the lab, decel-

lularize them, and what’s left is the scaffold— kind of like an empty house—and it’s strong enough to work as a blood vessel. When we implant it, your own cells grow into it. It becomes a part of you. We provide the matrix for your blood vessel. TC: What motivated you to work on the project? JL: I’m a vascular surgeon. I fix blood vessels all the time, that’s my day job. We fix them all over the body all different ways, in legs for people who have a blockage in their leg, in the neck for people who have something wrong in their brain. We do a lot of reconstruction of blood vessels, and in this particular case, we reconstruct blood vessels in a very unique way. In this case, for dialysis, if your kidneys

don’t work, you have to be able to clean your blood with a machine three times a week. If you move a blood vessel close to skin, a dialysis team can access it more easily. That’s a great model—it’s a great clinical area to test new technologies, because if it doesn’t work well, we haven’t put a heart or brain at risk of having a heart attack or stroke. And so the replacement blood vessel was in the arm of a patient who needed a blood vessel placed close to the skin to get dialysis. I’m a vascular surgeon but also a vascular scientist, with a Ph.D in cell and molecular biology, studying how blood moves through tubes, through your blood vessels and how to make those blood vessels work better. To team up and work to make blood move better is something I’ve been doing my whole career.
TC: Will other groups pursue the technology and tissue engineered blood vessels? JF: The technology that Humacyte has is proprietary—when you make the company, other companies might try to make similar prototypes and deal with the licensing technology. What’s more likely, if this is successful, and so far it has been—it’s been implanted in a number of animals, and we started implanting them in Europe six months ago, before the one we did two weeks ago, which was the first one in the U.S.—Humacyte will have to make a decision whether to stay a biotechnology company or to be acquired by bigger company. To be truly commercial would involve scaling up manufacturing and scaling up distribution, and the company will ultimately decide. TC: Anything else you’d like to say about how your research came together? JF: This really highlights a long standing interdepartmental collaboration among a bunch of scientists, postdocs, trainees, other people who worked on this. I’ve gotten credit as the person who did the implant, but it wouldn’t have happened if not for the Department of Surgery, the Department of Anesthesiology and biomedical engineering. It really highlights the collaboration and resources of the institution over a long period of time to pull off a project like this.

PATENT from page 1 without additional irrelevant chemical bonds—is held to be patentable subject matter,” Anis wrote in an email Tuesday. “It seems inconsistent to forbid the patenting of isolated DNA and allow the patenting of cDNA.” The ruling states that naturally occurring DNA segments are products of nature, not patentable under current U.S. patent law. cDNA, however, is not naturally occurring, regardless of the isolation techniques required to find it. “It appears that the Court wanted to forbid the patenting of DNA but could not disallow patents of cDNA because that is clearly an artificial product,” Anis said. “So they just went for the next best thing and forbade the patenting of isolated DNA.” Beyond the intricacies of the decision on artificial versus natural genome patenting, Angrist emphasized the positive implications for health care going forward from the decision. Other genetics diagnostics companies beside Myriad will now be legally permitted to use BRCA1 and BRCA2 in attempting to identify risk for breast and ovarian cancers. “You will now have a rush of other companies in genetic diagnostics who have been offering everything, but BRCA1 and BRCA2 testing for breast cancer because it has not been allowed,” Angrist said. “They’ve been testing for everything but the elephant in the room. Now they’re free to include the BRCA1 and 2.” Myriad has been vilified for a long time by the public, media and scientists alike because of its refusal to share valuable information about BRCA1 and
BRCA2, its inadvertent policy of “charging people to recover” and its refusal to continue putting its data into the Breast Cancer Information Core database, Angrist said. Patient advocacy groups condemned the blockage of access to what could potentially be a life-saving screening due to patent law. “These people are taxpayers so they actually funded the initial research that found these genes,” Angrist said. “Then you refuse to share that information with the broader scientific community, with the oncology community and the genetic community who could use it to find predictions.” Anis also noted that the topic of patenting has been a frequent point of contention at the Supreme Court, which has issued at least one major decision on the subject every year. Additionally, this was an unusual case because it resulted in a unanimous decision from what Anis called “one of the most divided courts” that American history has seen. Neil Seigel, who is the David W. Ichel professor of law, however, said that the decision was not “terribly surprising” given the government’s arguments. Rulings concerning same-sex marriage and affirmative action are expected to be released next week before the Court adjourns until October.

PAVILION from page 1 The new bays will allow for sections of Duke North to be taken offline for renovations and updates in the coming years, Diard said. In the meantime, the brand new bays will likely be prioritized for patients with more complicated medical histories. The new operating rooms condense the necessary equipment into mechanical arms that drop down from the ceiling. Doctors can easily reposition these arms throughout the room as needed, and they contain their own power source, eliminating the need for power cables snaking across the floor. Surgeons also now have access to an intraoperative MRI machine in two of the operating rooms, which shows detailed images of the body’s interior while the patient is undergoing an operation. This will be especially useful in brain and spine surgery, said Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Lisa Tatko. It will allow doctors to see how the surgery is going before the patient wakes up, and could decrease the need for a second surgery. “That’s groundbreaking,” she added. Even the more simple tools have gotten an upgrade. The operating room lights are now a ring of LED diodes that can be adjusted based on the physician’s preference, sporting low energy usage and heat emissions, said Certified Resgistered Nurse Anesthetist Emily Funk. “It gets hot for surgeons—they’re draped in sterile clothes, the patients give off heat… These [lights] are much more comfortable for doctor and pa-
tient,” Funk said. Architecturally, the building fits closely with the glass and steel style of the recently opened Mary Biddle Duke Trent Semans Center For Health Education and the Cancer Center. The pavilion’s nine stories are decked out with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with sunlight. For David May, a retired clinical social worker from Duke’s neuro-intensive care unit, this is a welcome update from the small windows and concrete that dominate the architecture of Duke North. “This is a new concept in terms of hospital buildings, this glass from ceiling to floor,” May said. “Everywhere you look there’s sunlight.” Just inside the walls of windows, the waiting rooms have a cozy interior. Carpets line the floors, and expansive canvases, many of them landscapes of North Carolina’s beaches and forests by locals artists, lend color to the walls. For May, who used to counsel families on the life-changing events that tend to precede ICU treatment, the new building offers many more comfortable and quiet spots where families can gather for a conference with their doctor or counselor. Visitors and patients can watch flat screen TVs while sitting back in rocking chairs and fully reclining armchairs, taking in the panoramic view that spans from Duke Medicine Circle to Duke Chapel and the forests beyond. The reclining chairs felt like “being on a cloud,” said Durham resident Josue Jenkin. “Oh my goodness—I’ve never been in a reception room like this,” she remarked.

Tripucka set to begin MLL career Sulaimon to play for U19 team by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE
Four weeks ago, Matt Danowski was Jake Tripucka’s assistant coach, watching Tripucka lead the Blue Devils to their second national championship in four years. This weekend, the pair will take the field together as teammates when Tripucka makes his professional debut for the Charlotte Hounds of Major League Lacrosse as they take on the Chesapeake Bayhawks Saturday at 5:30 p.m at American Legion Memorial Stadium. “To see him grow during his senior season, not only as a player but as a person, it was really fun to be around,” Danowski said. “He played like a senior throughout the tournament, and this is a player’s league. So all he has to do is go out there and play like he did that final weekend and he’ll have a lot of success. Tripucka was originally a sixth-round selection in the 2013 MLL Draft by the Hamilton Nationals Jan. 11, but was traded to Charlotte less than three weeks later. Hearing that he and Danowski would be teammates—just before his final collegiate season was set to begin—Tripucka said he could barely contain his excitement. A senior captain under Duke head coach John Danowski, Tripucka pointed to Danowski’s son as one of his inspirations to play for the Blue Devils. Matt Danowski

Coaching a family affair for Ropers by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE
Growing up, Zac Roper would complain to his parents that his older brother Kurt would not let him play in backyard football games. Nearly three decades later, the Roper brothers share the sidelines as members of the Duke coaching staff. Kurt Roper, the Blue Devils’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and Zac Roper, the team’s special teams coordinator and tight ends coach, grew up around football. After serving as a graduate assistant for Bear Bryant at Alabama, their father, Bobby, served as a coach at a number of college programs including Iowa State, Tennessee, Oregon State and Texas A&M. It did not take long before both Kurt and Zac decided what they wanted to be when they grew up. “From the moment I can remember, I knew that I wanted to be a college football coach,” Kurt said. “There was no question what I wanted to do—I just wanted to be like my dad.” Backyard football games in the Roper household were intense, but a few bruises and scrapes along the way could not stop both Kurt and Zac from developing a passion for the game to which their father had dedicated his life. Kurt starred as a quarterback and went on to play at Rice. Finding a way to join in the neighborhood games, Zac

Duke guard Rasheed Sulaimon will represent the United States at the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship, which is set to begin in Prague, Czech Republic June 27. “I watched the first three practices and Rasheed is playing great,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He was one of the better players there.” Following the conclusion of the team’s training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., Sulaimon was one of 12 players released early Tuesday morning on the team’s final roster. He started 33 of the Blue Devils’ 36 contests during his freshman season, averaging 11.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. The Houston native competed for the U.S. last summer at the U18 FIBA Americas Championship in Brazil. Coming off the bench in all five of his team’s contests, Sulaimon averaged 10.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game en route to a gold medal. After being named to the All-ACC Freshman Team following first year in the collegiate ranks, Sulaimon is one of the more experienced players who will be playing on this year’s U19 team. This year’s World Championship squad—which will be led by Florida head coach Billy Donovan—features two incoming freshmen and two rising high school seniors. “The main thing for him is just to continue to grow up,” said Krzyzewski of his sophomore guard. “Now you’re the guy that should be talking to players. You have the experience. You need to just be enthusiastic, be a leader and go for it.” Both of the team’s high school players—Chicago native Jahlil Okafor and Houston native Justise Winslow—have already received scholarship offers from Duke. Okafor is ranked the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2014 by ESPN. Winslow and Sulaimon were also teammates on the AAU circuit for Houston Hoops. Although he came off the bench in international play last year, Sulaimon is expected to start in the backcourt for the U19 squad alongside Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart. Sulaimon and the rest of the U19 World Championship team will begin three days of practice Thursday at the Washington Wizards’ practice facility in Washington D.C. before departing for the Czech Republic. After cruising through the group stages at the U19 World Championship in 2011, the United States was upset by Russia in the quarterfinals en route to a disappointing fifth-place finish. The United States has been paired with the Ivory Coast, China and Russia in group play and will begin action against the Ivory Coast next Thursday night.

Tripucka must also adjust to the life of a semiprofessional athlete—players often work outside jobs and commute to join their teams for games on the weekends, rather than competing together every day like Tripucka did at Duke. “In college it’s a much more rigid structure. You have practice every day, you get your shots in, you get to handle the ball, now in the pros you have to do that all on your own,” Danowski said. “It’s just a different method of preparation, but he’s adjusting well.” Tripucka, a midfielder, scored 23 goals and notched 25 assists in his senior season at Duke. Playing attack, Danowski was the Hounds’ leading scorer with 43 points in the franchise’s inaugural season, ranking sixth in the league. In addition to playing alongside Danowski, Tripucka will also play on the Hounds with defenseman Joe Cinosky, who served as a volunteer assistant on the Duke staff in the 2013 season. Although Tripucka spent most of his life in Boonton Township, N.J., he was born in the Queen City. Tripucka’s father, Kelly, played 10 seasons in the NBA, finishing his career as a member of the Charlotte Hornets. “It was cool to come back to Charlotte for my parents,” Tripucka said. “It’s great to start my professional career in the city where I was born.” Tripucka said playing professionally gives him a sense of how small the lacrosse world is. He is now teammates with former Maryland midfielder John Haus and former Loyola attack Mike Sawyer—players who he was gameplanning to stop just months ago. “The biggest difference is playing with guys that you were playing against for four years,” Tripucka said. “I just played against this guy at this school and this guy at that school and now we’re all teammates. It’s crazy.” Just days away from his professional debut, Tripucka said he tries his best not to feel the pregame jitters. But he knows that when he steps onto the field for the first time Saturday, he’ll have his old coaches there to guide him. “There’s always jitters, but I’m excited to help our team keep winning,” Tripucka said. “Matt and Joe are both huge to have because they let you know each step of the way how you’re doing and where you need to adjust.”
to Ole Miss to finish out his undergraduate degree alongside Cutcliffe and his brother. “In this profession you are away from family a lot,” Kurt said. “Whenever you can have a little piece of family with you in this job, that’s hard to get in many places. So I feel fortunate that I get to work with my brother.” After six years working together at Ole Miss, the brothers went their separate ways in 2005. Zac Roper took a job at Cornell, and Kurt went to Kentucky to coach for Rich Brooks for one season. Cutcliffe and Kurt returned to Tennessee for two seasons before the duo was struck with a severe case of deja vu. Ten years after Cutcliffe had landed his first head coaching job at Ole Miss, he was offered another one at Duke. Just like he had a decade earlier, Cutcliffe asked Kurt to come with him, this time to serve as offensive coordinator for the Blue Devils. Then Cutcliffe made the same call he had made to Zac 10 years earlier. “That was a fun conversation, to know that we were all headed to Duke,” Zac said. “We knew we were going to do something special as far as building a program, but we knew we were also going to have the opportunity to build some memories as a family as well.” Working in Durham gave the aspiring coaches more than just the opportunity to work together—it gave them the opportunity to raise their families together as well. Both Zac and Kurt have a son and a daughter each, but Zac said that sometimes they act much more like brothers and sisters than they do cousins. “I think the thing that I enjoy most about it is we both have two young kids and they’re growing up together,” Kurt said. “They’re cousins who know each other, and hang out together and love each other. And that, to me, is one of the most rewarding things to watch.” As Duke hopes to repeat last year’s bowl appearance, both Ropers will be presented with challenges in the Blue Devils’ upcoming season. Kurt is responsible for the development of first-year starter Anthony Boone, and Zac will adjust to a new position this year, taking over the role of special teams coordinator and tight ends coach from Ron Middleton, who departed
for the NFL during the offseason. But as the pair continues to coach together and raise their families together, they said they can see their children starting to catch the football fever as well. “It’s just kind of a family business,” Zac said. “Some people’s families are politicians, some people are lawyers, some people are businessmen—we’re a family of football coaches.”

gram, with its established networks and resources, will help Duke spread its name to a demographic of highly talented students that it lacked the means to reach beforehand. Such publicity will presumably lead to an increase in applicants, which in turn could improve socioeconomic diversity on campus. In this sense, the University’s participation may not be wholly altruistic. Although it is encouraging that the University made this step to appeal to a wider array of students, Duke should not become complacent. Participation in programs such as Say Yes to Education and providing aid are the first steps to equalizing access to higher
education. But in so doing, care should be taken to also accommodate middle class students who may be crowded out by constrained financial aid resources on one end and rising tuition costs on the other. Although we commend Say Yes to Education and other similar programs for their efforts to provide equal access to higher education, there is still a larger systemic problem that needs to be addressed—namely, equal access to education in general. Helping high achieving, underprivileged high school students obtain a college degree is important, but so is helping high achieving middle class school students obtain a good high school educa-
tion and helping primary school students obtain a good middle school education, and so on so forth. To ensure true equality in access to higher education, education on every level must be addressed. There are multiple ways of providing improved opportunities across the board— the University could become more involved in the Durham public school system, offer summer programs and students could volunteer their time to tutor at local schools. Many of these measures are already widely practiced, and the University and students alike should continue to improve access not only to higher education, but also primary education.

I’m an addict
Orwellian specters
h, Aristocrat. Dearest Aristocrat! How you have wetted the throats of dozens upon dozens of Dukies on nights aplenty! When the clock thrusts both hands northward, we heed thy call. Yes—for even the most strong-willed of bachelors—it is, indeed, hard to resist the Crat’s meow. I, however, am a man of principle. The Crat will not consume me, nor will I consume it. For me, there is another beverage I find far more intoxicating: tea. I have actually been drinking tea for almost my entire life. Yet, my true infatuation with tea began very early on in my Duke career. At first, we only saw each other a few times a week, perhaps even much less so. Nonetheless, with tea tasting much sweeter than wine, our relationship would soon become full-blown love. We studied together, went to class together and even played games together. We’ve had some misunderstandings, like the time she caught me Bryan Somaiah spooning sugar, but I can say wholeheartedly that our love has prevailed. breaking barriers I apologize in advance to all of the coffee drinkers out there. I have betrayed you. There was once a time when I was just like you, ashamedly trudging to Starbucks on the daily to purchase a cup of temporary satisfaction with a double shot of regret. Unfortunately, those days of glory are behind me. I am deeply sorry for making the healthier lifestyle choice, saving money and reducing my caffeine dependency. At least we can all probably agree that Joe Van Gogh’s disappearance is a campus-wide tragedy that deserves much-needed attention. Java junkies may simply be unaware of the joys that tea can bring. There are so many unique flavors and types of tea that there is something for everyone to enjoy. It’s bad enough that a coffee addict can let caffeine dependency cripple his or her health, but it’s even worse if he or she doesn’t make an effort to resolve the issue. If drinking coffee is what gets you out of bed, you should add a few cups of tea to your daily routine and see how you like it. On the other hand—if you enjoy sippin’ on that fine ale—drinking tea will at least keep you hydrated. Even if you do not drink coffee or dive into swimming pools full of liquor, I recommend trying a cup of tea every once in a while. It’s cheap, tasty and good for you! What’s not to like? Plus, if you are lacking a bit of class in your life, or just desire to be as pretentious as humanly possible, a healthy tea obsession can provide you these incredible privileges and so much more. Dos Equis did it with their beverage, so what is stopping you from doing it with yours? A little bit of imagination goes a long way. And while television ads may suggest that you have to drink alcohol to be beautiful, I am living proof that this statement is false. Actually, I’m quite unattractive—but Paul McCartney drinks tea, and he’s been cute for over seven decades. That must count for something. Thanks to my tea drinking habits, I have accumulated a great deal of fond memories over the past semester. A few of my buddies and I embarked on a glorious quest to obtain the sacred bubble tea. I have been exposed to new ideas and stories from friends. And I have even crafted some concoctions of my own. To be honest, I have brewed some pretty nasty stuff in the past— unless you like chunks of cinnamon and expired milk in your drinks. Then by all means, go for it! But in all seriousness, I am proud to be a tea drinker. I strongly believe that it has added a new dimension to my Duke experience. Salud!
may be a product of a Facebook-obsessed, non-pocket-knife-carrying airplane passenger generation, but last week’s big National Security Administration scandal didn’t really shock me. My essential reaction to the news that the federal government tracks phone and Internet habits was one of indifference. When I was in high school and middle school, we were told not to share any personal information on the Internet. We were told to pick screen names and email addresses that didn’t reveal our real names, because otherwise the ominous Internet predators would be able to track you down. So we picked screen names like sailaJoline Doedens way3000, bluedevil2012, crayoneater1 and many other wait a minute fantastically punny monikers unsuitable for print. Today, those screen names have largely been quarantined in the video gaming and YouTube-commenting world. Career counselors tell us to use professional, simple email addresses that use some version of the firstname.lastname@respectabledomainname.com formula. They tell us not to post pictures online that we wouldn’t want our parents to see, because employers can do a simple Google search to discover just how many times a semester you enjoy doing keg stands. Until a couple of years ago, my mother did not know how to attach a file to an email. Now, my own mother enjoys browsing the Facebook pages of every single one of my Facebook friends. When her efforts are frustrated by pesky privacy settings, she simply examines the posts and links of their friends. We also know that Google, Facebook, Amazon and their peers collect information on every search we conduct. If I were to spend a week researching which car to buy, Google would probably alert me about fantastic deals on the newest Toyotas as I read an email from a friend. This summer, Amazon decided that I fit the demographic for young mothers, so it started offering me incredible deals on baby diapers. So when Edward Snowden revealed the secret government program that collects much of this information from these companies, I wasn’t exactly surprised. If private companies can tell me when I really should be thinking about starting a family, then I’m not shocked that the federal government keeps tabs on my phone and Internet habits. I have read George Orwell’s “1984.” I realize that the idea of a government that collects data on your every move is a scary one. But ever since the Patriot Act was passed in October 2001, the specter of a 1984 reality has become increasingly feasible. Even when the Patriot Act passed, there were fears that the government would invade citizens’ privacy by keeping tabs on which library books we borrowed. We may not know exactly how effective the NSA surveillance program has been in protecting the United States from terrorist attacks. But we do know that the government’s ability to “see” everything was essential to the identification of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Even if government surveillance programs weren’t able to catch the suspects before bombing, in retrospect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s Amazon wish list might have alerted security officials to the bomber’s intentions. Maybe I’ve been watching too much “Law and Order: SVU,” but law enforcement’s ability to track cellphones and examine suspects’ Internet histories seems pretty helpful. Granted, the Fourth Amendment appears to give U.S. citizens some protection against “unreasonable” search and seizure. In United States v. Jacobsen, the Supreme Court stated, “a search occurs when an expectation of privacy that society is prepared to consider reasonable is infringed.” With the rapid evolution of Internet privacy concerns, it appears we have stumbled upon the need to redefine what constitutes a “reasonable” expectation of privacy. Is it reasonable to expect the government to refrain from collecting search data that you so willingly share with Google? Is it reasonable to forbid the NSA from collecting data on what kinds of products you buy on Amazon? Perhaps these expectations of privacy would be reasonable if a simple Google search of your name didn’t reveal your Amazon wish list and your favorite Picasa album. So are we just supposed to trust that the federal government won’t create a dystopian, Orwellian future? Not exactly. The burden is on the individual to close and lock the door to your private life. If Google can sell your information to other companies, then it seems counterintuitive to forbid the federal government from getting this same information. The specter of Big Brother isn’t so much the bureaucracy of the NSA as it is the capitalism of technology companies. In order to create a reasonable expectation of privacy, an individual must change their privacy settings. The individual can make his or her Facebook profile private. The individual can choose not to be logged in when he or she is conducting a Google search. If a technology company does not provide the consumer with the option of opting out of the information-sharing clause in the contract, then the burden is on the consumer to petition for change. Basically, follow the advice of those career counselors. Make your public online persona one of which your grandparents would approve.

THE CHRONICLE
TRIPUCKA from page 4
ROPER from page 4
Tripucka must also adjust to the life of a semiprofessional athlete—players often work outside jobs and commute to join their teams for games on the weekends, rather than competing together every day like Tripucka did at Duke. “In college it’s a much more rigid structure. You have practice every day, you get your shots in, you get to handle the ball, now in the pros you have to do that all on your own,” Danowski said. “It’s just a different method of preparation, but he’s adjusting well.” Tripucka, a midfielder, scored 23 goals and notched 25 assists in his senior season at Duke. Playing attack, Danowski was the Hounds’ leading scorer with 43 points in the franchise’s inaugural season, ranking sixth in the league. In addition to playing alongside Danowski, Tripucka will also play on the Hounds with defenseman Joe Cinosky, who served as a volunteer assistant on the Duke staff in the 2013 season. Although Tripucka spent most of his life in Boonton Township, N.J., he was born in the Queen City. Tripucka’s father, Kelly, played 10 seasons in the NBA, finishing his career as a member of the Charlotte Hornets. “It was cool to come back to Charlotte for my parents,” Tripucka said. “It’s great to start my professional career in the city where I was born.” Tripucka said playing professionally gives him a sense of how small the lacrosse world is. He is now teammates with former Maryland midfielder John Haus and former Loyola attack Mike Sawyer—players who he was gameplanning to stop just months ago. “The biggest difference is playing with guys that you were playing against for four years,” Tripucka said. “I just played against this guy at this school and this guy at that school and now we’re all teammates. It’s crazy.” Just days away from his professional debut, Tripucka said he tries his best not to feel the pregame jitters. But he knows that when he steps onto the field for the first time Saturday, he’ll have his old coaches there to guide him. “There’s always jitters, but I’m excited to help our team keep winning,” Tripucka said. “Matt and Joe are both huge to have because they let you know each step of the way how you’re doing and where you need to adjust.”
to Ole Miss to finish out his undergraduate degree alongside Cutcliffe and his brother. “In this profession you are away from family a lot,” Kurt said. “Whenever you can have a little piece of family with you in this job, that’s hard to get in many places. So I feel fortunate that I get to work with my brother.” After six years working together at Ole Miss, the brothers went their separate ways in 2005. Zac Roper took a job at Cornell, and Kurt went to Kentucky to coach for Rich Brooks for one season. Cutcliffe and Kurt returned to Tennessee for two seasons before the duo was struck with a severe case of deja vu. Ten years after Cutcliffe had landed his first head coaching job at Ole Miss, he was offered another one at Duke. Just like he had a decade earlier, Cutcliffe asked Kurt to come with him, this time to serve as offensive coordinator for the Blue Devils. Then Cutcliffe made the same call he had made to Zac 10 years earlier. “That was a fun conversation, to know that we were all headed to Duke,” Zac said. “We knew we were going to do something special as far as building a program, but we knew we were also going to have the opportunity to build some memories as a family as well.” Working in Durham gave the aspiring coaches more than just the opportunity to work together—it gave them the opportunity to raise their families together as well. Both Zac and Kurt have a son and a daughter each, but Zac said that sometimes they act much more like brothers and sisters than they do cousins. “I think the thing that I enjoy most about it is we both have two young kids and they’re growing up together,” Kurt said. “They’re cousins who know each other, and hang out together and love each other. And that, to me, is one of the most rewarding things to watch.” As Duke hopes to repeat last year’s bowl appearance, both Ropers will be presented with challenges in the Blue Devils’ upcoming season. Kurt is responsible for the development of first-year starter Anthony Boone, and Zac will adjust to a new position this year, taking over the role of special teams coordinator and tight ends coach from Ron Middleton, who departed
for the NFL during the offseason. But as the pair continues to coach together and raise their families together, they said they can see their children starting to catch the football fever as well. “It’s just kind of a family business,” Zac said. “Some people’s families are politicians, some people are lawyers, some people are businessmen—we’re a family of football coaches.”
