DSG GOES TO $15 million later, Baldwin ready for debut RECESS WORK OVER SUMMER by Carleigh Steihm THE CHRONICLE
As a new academic year approaches, the leaders of Duke Student Government are gearing up to accomplish their goals. Following a year that included legislation to change the University’s statute of limitations on sexual assault and reforming the Knock and Talks policies for students living off-campus, the seven DSG vice presidents used the summer to prepare their agendas for the year. “We’ve been working hard over the summer to make sure that this year is an amazing one for all students at Duke,” said President Stefani Jones, a senior. “This year will be challenging with so much construction going on around campus, but those changes also bring a lot of energy and excitement.” The vice presidents lead seven respective Senate committees— academic affairs, Durham and regional affairs, equity and outreach, facilities and the environment, residential life, services and social culture. Academic Affairs During the summer the academic affairs committee, led by junior Ray Li, worked in conjunction with the Asian American Alliance and the Asian Student Association to pursue the creation of an Asian American Studies Certificate. Li said the committee will continue to work on this goal throughout the year. Li said the academic affairs committee will use a two-pronged approach to improve the Duke academic community and student experience. The approach will feature both policy initiatives and academic programming. “On the policy side, the committee will push to establish more student input in policy forming, specifically with the issues of academic advising, ACES reform and curriculum See DSG, page 5

Baldwin auditorium, on East Campus, went through two years of renovations and has been transformed into a state-of-the-art concert hall.
by LaCresha Styles THE CHRONICLE
After two years of renovation, Baldwin Auditorium on East Campus. The auditorium was unavailable to students while it underwent a $15 million of repairs, transforming the dated space into an elegant, state-of-the-art concert hall. The building—erected in 1927—had previously seen few renovations and little refurbishing. “The first renovations made to Baldwin in the 1980s were just a basic paint job and a changing out of the seats. It was more cosmetic than anything else,” said Elizabeth Thompson, Promotions Specialist for the Duke Music Department. The current undertaking was much more involved, requiring a complete overhaul of the performance area. As a campus landmark, the original exterior design was largely maintained. The interior, however, was significantly improved. Built originally as a general auditorium, the venue was not designed with musical performance in mind—the space was cavernous with poor acoustics. The reimagined space unites everyone in the hall, with a wraparound balcony that is much closer to the musicians
and a stage that brings performers nearer to spectators on the ground floor. “Now, there are very cool-looking sound-reflecting panels standing out from the back of the stage, reflecting the sound back to the audience rather than disappearing into the dome,” said Jonathan Bagg, interim chair of the Music Department and director of Chamber Music, as well as a member of the Ciompi String Quartet. In addition to reconstructing the seating and stage area, the entire air handling system has been revamped so that every single seat has its own personal vent beneath it. “That might seem extravagant, but it cuts down on the whooshing sound in the hall that interferes with the silence that you want in a concert,” Bagg said. Every addition has been geared toward engineering an extraordinary place to listen to music, surpassing both the Page Auditorium and Reynolds Theater. The end result is a space unlike any other on Duke’s campus. “The term ‘world class’ is overused, but this is actually a world-class concert hall. You are going to have as good an See BALDWIN page 6

Museum of Durham History claims new walls by Georgia Parke THE CHRONICLE
The Museum of Durham History will soon have a place to call its own. On October 12, the Durham History Hub will open on West Main Street to provide the Museum of Durham History with its first operational space. The Hub, located a mere 15 minutes from East Campus, will feature a changing selection of displays and exhibits highlighting different aspects of Durham’s past, a children’s area and a place for locals to come in and tell stories of their own personal history. The museum, previously described by its executive director Katie Spencer as a “museum without walls,” has been working on the Hub for a year and a half with local businesses and volunteer contractors and electricians. She hopes that the new space will help make the long history of Durham more accessible to locals who might not be aware. “There is a lot to draw inspiration from and a way to understand where we are today,” Spencer said. “Downtown Durham is bustling. It’s so vibrant with more projects popping up every day. I think people are missing the ability of the past to explain [Durham’s] present and future.” Before the Hub, the museum operated much more ephemerally, showcasing brief “pop-up” exhibits on the streets of Durham to provide an interactive and educational experience to passers by. Spencer added that Duke first years have, on multiple occasions, assisted in constructing these impromptu mini-museums. Although the 1,500 square foot space is not much, it is still a departure from having no space at all. “It’s bite sized but a great place to start,” she said. According to a press release from the museum, the grand opening in October will feature a full day of activities and events including jazz groups, salsa dancing and other performers. The opening event, like the Hub itself, will be free to attend. A history parade will also be part of

the celebration, and will feature historical re-enactments, a women’s roller derby team, high school bands and bagpipers, among others. Spencer said she hopes that Duke students will also take the time to come to the Hub to gain perspective on the long history of Durham that led to its current state. “I would love for them to come because college is such a unique experience—you become a local and learn about the place where you are to complement the rest of [what you learn],” she said. Duke has offered courses on Durham history in the past, including a freshman writing seminar called Walking Through Durham’s Past, which took students on walking tours through his-
torical districts of the city to study the Civil Rights timeline and development of Durham’s booming tobacco industry. Rebecca Passman, a Trinity sophomore, also noted that Education 101 covered Durham and North Carolina history to gain knowledge of the current educational and economic state of affairs. “There is a service learning component to [knowing] how the schools came about—knowing the economic status of students so you can be a better teacher,” Passman said. “I think because I live here it’s important to know Durham’s past.” Passman noted that accessibility and location would be a factor in whether she would visit a museum of Durham’s history. The Hub will open at 500 West Main Street, about a 15-minute walk from

They have the credibility and their efforts are a big part of what has made this a success so far.”

The bump heard around the gothic wonderland Brodhead kicks off year with ‘Colbert’ appearance
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
President Richard Brodhead defends the humanities on The Colbert Report.
by Emma Baccellieri THE CHRONICLE
In his recent appearance on The Colbert Report, President Richard Brodhead discussed everything from the importance of a well-rounded education to the meaning of wide margins—and even received a fist bump from the show’s host. Brodhead went on the August 15 show to discuss a recent education report prepared by the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences, which he cochaired. His wit was on display as he humorously countered the host’s comic absurdity, receiving applause from the audience and admiration on Twitter. “I didn’t know what in the world it would be like,” Brodhead said of his appearance on the show. “But it was good fun. I liked him.” His interview on the Comedy Central show was
markedly different from the more solemn televised appearances he has made in the past, Brodhead noted. “That’s the challenge of it,” he said. “It’s very different from PBS NewsHour, with a serious person asking a serious question.” Brodhead said that backstage, Colbert shared a bit of advice for handling the aggressive persona he adopts for the show. After asking if Brodhead had seen the show in the past, Colbert went on to say, “Then you remember that I’m an idiot. You’ve got to talk to the idiot.” “He’s perfected the act of Stephen Colbert,” Brodhead said. “It’s hilarious, it truly is.” Brodhead noted that he was a bit nervous in the week leading up to the interview and rehearsed by answering questions that he made up himself. He found that his own practice questions, however, were more difficult than the ones that Colbert asked him. Reactions to the interview were overwhelmingly positive, with many students taking to Twitter and Facebook to post their approval. Garnering particular attention was the fact that Brodhead and Colbert shared a fist bump. “The fist bump was classic, a ringing endorsement of the humanities,” Brodhead said. Students were also appreciative of the interview’s focus on the merit of the humanities. The report, which found that not enough people see the importance in a humanities education, has received a lot of attention since it was released in June. “President Brodhead makes a very good point,” said freshman Sunny Zhang. “A lot of people don’t realize that there is an analytical side to the humanities and more than just memorization.” Many freshmen, in particular, expressed excitement at the interview—which took place just days before their orientation. “I’m glad that it happened right at the beginning SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE of school,” Brodhead noted. “In a way, it’s a back to Stephen Colbert shows his Duke pride before the show on school message.” Thursday.

STEAM Challenge seeks practical solutions by tony shan THE CHRONICLE

The STEAM Challenge, organized by HASTAC, will bring the sciences and humanities closer.

A newly developed competition set to launch this week will help Duke bridge the gap between the sciences and the humanities. The Duke STEAM Challenge, which will run from orientation week to January 2014, is organized by the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC), an organization committed to thinking about intersections between these two academic spaces. The competition seeks to provide students with the chance to work in teams to identify and solve real world problems by exploring ways in which the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines can work synergistically with the arts and social sciences. “The Duke STEAM Challenge is the first student challenge designed to integrate knowledge from many fields, and to show how much we need contributions across disciplines for true innovation and transformations,” said Cathy Davidson, a co-organizer of the challenge. The challenge will launch on the coattails of President Brodhead’s guest appearance on The Colbert Report, where he emphasized the importance of the arts and gave the humanities the “Colbert Bump”. “As our president said on the show, in today’s world, the leaders are going to be those who not only have backgrounds in both STEM and the humanities, but also understand the intersection of the
two,” said Vice Provost Keith Whitfield, the challenge’s other co-organizer. The STEAM challenge is project based, and students will work in teams of two to five to find and address a real world problem using STEAM principles. The competition is open to any and all Duke students – undergraduate, graduate and professional students, and cross-class collaboration is encouraged although not required. What is required, however, is that each team be interdisciplinary in nature in terms of profession, majors, or interests. Teams are expected to submit team profiles outlining each members’ background to help with this process. “We want to find things like artists working with engineers, because that kind of collaboration is how the real world works,” said Mandy Dailey, director of administration for HASTAC. “Even for freshman who haven’t declared a major yet, we’d like to know where their interests lie.” The challenge was announced in two parts, with the first, the Duke STEAMy Summer Challenge, running over the summer. Students were asked to make a two minute video that describes why the values of STEAM are important and what those values mean to them. Of the many submissions, five finalists have been selected, and the winner of the $1000 prize for this challenge will be announced in the very near future. “A few times last week, I checked in on the Duke STEAM Challenge Facebook page,” said Kate Bulger, a junior See STEAM, page 7

Zionce added that build“Durham and regional affairs has been focusing on a lot of issues this summer,” junior Derek Rhodes, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, said. The committee has been monitoring the progress of a voter identification bill, HB 589. Rhodes added that the bill will drastically change how people vote in North Carolina and has “serious consequences” for students. He said the committee has also been getting ready for the revamped version of Knock & Talks. The program, created in the 1980s to help acclimate students to their new off-campus homes, features administrators and Duke Police visiting 12 to 15 off-campus student residences to discuss housing policy and regulations each Fall. Rhodes previously told The Chronicle that beginning Fall 2013, students living off campus will experience a less intrusive, less intimidating welcome to their new community. “We’ll be promoting that heavily so that students are not alarmed when administrators and Duke police come to their homes to discuss important topics related to off-campus living,” Rhodes said. “On that note, offcampus mediation will be big for us at the start of the school year and throughout the year.” He added that this is the first year that DSG will have student representation on the Trinity Heights Neighborhood Association Board. “We’ll be working with neighbors continuously throughout the year to ensure great relationships,” Rhodes said. The committee has also been discussing campus safety, Rhodes said, particularly regarding Central Campus. “I received emails from students this summer who were concerned about living on Central, as well as offcampus, after the influx of Duke Alerts that we received in a week,” Rhodes said. from page 1
Equity and Outreach Senior Jacob Tobia, vice president for equity and outreach, said that the committee is focusing on continuing its work on gender violence prevention. “We’ve been doing work strategizing on how to continue the work of the Gender Violence Prevention Working Group from last year,“ Tobia said. The group works to educate students on the prevention of sexual assault, harassment and gender based violence. During the year the committee will continue advocating for increased endowment transparency through the DukeOpen proposal. Tobia’s goals also include working to have a more effective process for the recruitment of minority students in admissions. Facilities and Environment The facilities and environment committee has been working with the construction teams as they renovate much of West Campus, said junior Jay Kennedy, vice president for the committee. “I’m very excited for students to see the new Events Pavilion and the newly renovated Bryan Center,” Kennedy said. He added that Baldwin Auditorium will reopen this Fall after almost two years of renovations. “It’s a great new performance space that I believe will make the first-year experience on East Campus that much more encompassing with a large space where many first-year students can easily go to see speakers and performances together,” Kennedy said. The committee will continue to work with the renovations committees after the semester begins. In addition, it hopes to collaborate with other programs on campus.

Services “Over the summer, Services has been working on trying to get transportation to the Lemur Center, working on getting afternoon food trucks and creating a preliminary group of students interested in biking to work on recreating Duke’s biking program,” said sophomore Lavanya Sunder, vice president for services.

Social Culture The Social Culture committee will continue focusing on tailgate this year, said junior Leilani Doktor, vice president for social culture. “We are keeping a lot of last years relaxed BBQing style but fixing some of the short falls,” Doktor said. She added they are also looking for ways to improve unity within the many different aspects of tailgate.
The pre-game celebration will be open to all after the individual groups have cleaned up and will allow for the momentum of tailgating to continue as the game approaches. The Inferno will host games and music to give a central location for all students to gather before the game. The first tailgate will focus on freshmen through efforts such as Orientation Week publicity by The Inferno, Doktor said. She added that the intent is to establish the new tailgate as a lasting tradition. “We will provide tents and grills for West Campus registered spaces and groups will get temporary parking permits to move their stuff to West easily,” Doktor said. In addition, DSG will continue send out an email blast the week before games allowing groups seven days in which to register. The committee is seeking members for the tailgating team to survey individuals during the festivities before games.

experience as you are likely to have at any other concert hall in the world,” said Aaron Greenwald, director of Duke Performances. Baldwin Auditorium is unique in that all of its resources have been dedicated solely to the production of acoustic music. “The new concert hall is designed specifically for music and not really anything else,” Greenwald said. “It’s unlike any other space within the next 100 to 200 miles. It’s a concert hall that is going to be superb for jazz and chamber music.” Baldwin, with 685 seats, is not massive compared to some other venues. Accordingly, audience members can expect to have a very intimate experience with the music produced. Though meeting the needs of the musicians was the principal goal of the renovations to Baldwin Auditorium, the end result does not only benefit the artists. By focusing on the desires of the performers, the renovations will allow the audience to experience grander performances and a richer experience. “We produce the sound and [the auditorium] amplifies the sound and makes it more beautiful… that’s what a great concert hall does,” Bagg said. “I think it will be great for the morale of the students,” he continued. “I think it will make everyone try a little bit harder. They will take themselves and their performances more seriously because everyone will try to be worthy of [Baldwin].” The new concert hall will be shared between the Music Department and Duke Performances. “This is a venue that connects us to the community. It’s going to feel like much more a part of the city than other Duke venues,” said Bagg. “It’s a very welcoming thing.” The official reopening of Baldwin Auditorium will be Saturday, September 14 at 8 p.m. and will feature an all-American program performed by distinguished faculty from the Duke Music Department, including the Ciompi Quartet, John Brown and more.

and an intern for the program, in an email Friday. “It felt great seeing an almost constant stream of notifications of “likes” for the videos – likes from across the community, including from Cathy Davidson and Steve Nowicki.” Kate also said that the STEAMy Summer Challenge really helped raise awareness for the bigger STEAM Challenge that will launch this week. Teams will submit their problems and proposed solutions by October, and the most compelling projects as selected by a panel of judges will further develop their pitches over the fall and winter, ultimately presenting live in January, when a winner will be selected. The grand prize for this portion of the competition will be $10,000, with second and third place winning $3,000 and $2,000, respectively. Although the competition will require all teams to pay for any project expenses out-of-pocket, Dailey expects that pitches will span the spectrum from hypothetical to truly applied, all of which is acceptable as long as it addresses the identified problem in an interdisciplinary way. “This is going to be an incredible thing to have on your resume,” she said. “Freshman who choose to throw themselves into [the STEAM Challenge] will learn to work collaboratively, meet like-minded folk and discover the different ways to share the resources that we have at Duke.” Ultimately, the staff of the Duke STEAM Challenge has high expectations for the benefit that the program can provide for the academic culture at Duke. Though the challenge hits some of the same chords as other team project-based challenges such as the Duke Startup Challenge, the emphasis on interdisciplinary principles sets STEAM apart. “STEAM is unique in that it’s not asking students to create widget or a product for the business field,” said Whitfield. “It’s much more directly related to their education and we’re really asking them to think about how the education they’re receiving makes sense in a broader context.”

with battery Duke cornerback and son of famous rock star faces felony in Indiana by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE
Duke sophomore cornerback Hud Mellencamp, the 19-year-old son of famed rock star John Mellencamp, faces felony battery charges in Bloomington, Ind. A warrant has been issued for Hud Mellencamp’s arrest, and he is yet to turn himself into police as of 11 p.m. Sunday. The charges against Mellencamp stem from a July 29 incident with his 18-yearold brother Speck and Ty Smith, a walkon wide receiver at Indiana, where his father is the Hoosiers’ head baseball coach. The trio allegedly punched and kicked a man on the front porch of his home in Nashville, Ind., leaving the man with facial fractures and cuts that required stitches and the attention of a plastic surgeon. Mellencamp is being charged with one count of battery resulting in a serious bodily injury, which is a Class C felony in Indiana and can carry a sentence of two to eight years in prison if committed with a deadly weapon. According to a news release from the Bloomington Police Department, police were dispatched to the site of the alleged incident at 2:45 a.m. The 19-year-old man who was injured reported to the police that three men approached his house and began to climb the stairs of the porch. After asking them if he could help them, the victim reported being punched in the face by Speck Mellencamp. The victim reported that after he fell backwards he was punched and kicked repeatedly by the Mellencamp brothers and Smith. The probable cause affidavit for Hud Mellencamp states that Speck was involved in an altercation at a party earlier that night. Speck Mellencamp was struck by an unidentified man and believed that he either lived at the residence where the incident took place or was being hidden by the residents. Smith turned himself in at 5 p.m. Thursday and was released at 7:19 p.m. after posting a $5,000 surety and $500 cash bond. Speck Mellencamp turned See BATTERY, page 12

Coach for College teachers combine sports and education to create a fun classroom setting for Vietnamese children.
by Matt Pun THE CHRONICLE
Parker Goyer’s unique approach to education has made a big impact on Vietnamese middle school students— and on student-athletes across the U.S. During her time as a member of Duke’s women’s tennis team, Goyer realized how difficult it was for student-athletes to partake in civic engagement experiences abroad. But following her graduation in 2007, Goyer found a way for student-athletes to make a difference on the other side of the world. Since launching Coach for College—an immersive summer-service program in Vietnam—in 2008, Goyer has watched the program develop to include four sites in two Vietnamese provinces. It has grown from a staff of 20 athletes from Duke and North Carolina to 60 American student-athletes from 20 different institutions, and Goyer believes Coaches for College has room to continue growing. “From the beginning, I envisioned Coach for College one day being a global program,” Goyer said in an email. “In some ways, I am seeking to create an organization and movement on the scale of Teach for America that will allow college athletes from different—and even rival—universities to come together for a common cause.” A different approach to education Through a curriculum that inte-
grates sports into the learning experience, Coach for College offers not only an alternative means of education for rural Vietnamese youth, but also a civic engagement opportunity designed for time-strapped college athletes. Goyer’s initiative provides the middle school populations of the Hau Giang and An Giang provinces with opportunities to pursue a more interactive education, taught by American athletes and Vietnamese college students. “They don’t have a lot... and at times I felt like they were giving me more than I was giving them,” said Loren Shealy, a North Carolina field hockey player who participated in 2012 and was named Sports Illustrated’s Female College Athlete of the Year in May. “We did these little life skills lessons before the start of each school day, and those two things were always the main message for us, because in sports, when you’re out there training and you’re out there competing with your teammates, you have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe in the person standing next to you in order to achieve something.” Relating life skills and academic subjects to sports marked a stark contrast from the usual educational experience in Vietnam. “In school they’re taught to be more passive and lecture-driven and memorize everything,” Goyer said. “We connect everything to sports. We teach physics, biology, math and English using sports examples and metaphors. I think
that’s a really good way to help make them excited about the subject but also have them see it as more tangible.” From the court to the classroom At Duke, Goyer excelled at tennis— reaching as high as No. 30 in the nation—and earned a degree in psychology, but she also had a passion for service. By her senior year, Goyer had already started thinking of ways to connect Duke and Vietnamese students, reaching out to Nike to discuss her ideas. After spending the summer of 2007 in Vietnam and Belize, Goyer began to formulate an idea for a program that integrated sports and education. “It has always been my goal to create a major global initiative that involved utilizing sports to promote higher education around the world, as well as research findings from psychology,” Goyer said. “Most policymakers and international development organizations focus on structural solutions, such as providing infrastructure and financial aid, and I have always wanted to demonstrate the value of a psychological approach.” Goyer further developed a plan for the program through talks with the U.S. embassy in Hanoi, the U.S. State Department and NCAA Vice President of Educational Affairs Robert Vowels—a former Duke football player—from whom she would receive $10,000 in funding to start Coach for College.

VOLLEYBALL
No volleyball for Duke’s Orientation Week in 2013 by Ryan Hoerger THE CHRONICLE
Duke will open the season on the road this year, as scheduling shifts will prevent the Blue Devils from playing at home during Orientation Week, breaking what has become a tradition in recent years. For the past two years, the Blue Devils opened their season at Cameron Indoor Stadium, hosting the Duke Invitational. The beginning of the weekend tournament coincided with the Friday of Orientation Week, giving the incoming freshman class the opportunity to attend its first Duke sporting event together in one of the most historic venues in all of college sports. “We love to be home during orientation week,� Duke head coach Jolene Nagel said. “Unfortunately, even the best-made plans run into obstacles.� In this case, the obstacle was the NCAA volleyball schedule. Nagel’s Blue Devils–and all other volleyball teams–aren’t officially allowed to play their first match of the year until Aug. 30, the first weekend of the school year. That date, which falls later than usual, didn’t mesh well with Tuesday’s arrival of the Class of 2017 for orientation. Scheduling a home game for the first weekend of the school year turned out to be too difficult as well, as Duke will host the Bull City Classic, competing against N.C. Central in both football and cross country. “We try hard not to host on weekends that the football team is home,� Nagel said. “That way we can avoid the stress that doing so puts on all our facilities.� Nagel said the team is always fired up to play during Orientation Week. In addition to playing for a larger crowd, many of whom are the team’s new freshman peers, the Duke Invitational has marked the beginning
of a new season. “It’s just a really special time,� Nagel said. “It’s a wonderful, exciting night for our freshmen. It’s their first time being in Cameron and so there’s always a lot of energy.� Playing during Orientation Week has also allowed one of Duke’s smaller athletic programs to attract a student fan base from the onset of their college experience. During Orientation Week in 2011, junior Conor Quinn was one of many freshmen who attended the Duke Invitational with his friends. He painted himself for the occasion and has remained a strong supporter of the volleyball program ever since. “I think it was the most excited the people I was with ever got for a Duke sporting event, because it was our first one as a group,� Quinn said. “One of the things that’s great about Duke is our longstanding athletic tradition, and I think sports is a great way to bring us all together. We come from all over the place but we can all paint ourselves blue and go root on our Blue Devils.� Instead of opening its season in Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke will hit the road for its season-opener Aug. 30 in Gainesville, Fla., at the Campus USA Credit Union Invitational. The team then travels to Minnesota for the Diet Coke Classic the following weekend, before its home-opener Sept. 13 against Liberty in the Duke Invitational. Nagel said the team may try to find a way to welcome the freshmen for that first home weekend of the season to make up for this year’s missing Orientation Week game. This year’s squad, young and inexperienced, will be tested early in the season. The Blue Devils will take on

New practice fields nearing completion by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE
The Duke Forward campaign’s conclusion is still more than three years away, but Duke athletics will reap the benefits of the initiative’s fundraising success in the coming months. Construction continues on three new fields, which will be located on Bassett Drive across the street from Koskinen Stadium. The new fields—two turf and one grass—will be utilized as new practice locations for Duke’s men’s and women’s soccer and men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. “We have as much flexibility in field usage as we’ve ever had here, so we’re really excited about it,” said Mike Cragg, Duke’s Deputy Director of Athletics for Operations. “Everything we’ve had as far as practice fields in the past have been pretty mediocre. These will all be world-class as far as drainage, lines and safety.” After an unseasonably wet summer, which included the second wettest month of June in North Carolina since 1895, construction crews have been pushed three weeks behind schedule, but Cragg said Duke’s athletic department is still targeting a Nov. 1 completion date. The fields should be playable shortly after. One of the new fields’ biggest advantages will be a superior drainage system, which will keep the practice surfaces dry even during Durham’s soggy spring and summer. “It’s a huge upgrade,” said Bob Weiseman, Duke’s Director of Athletic Facilities. “One of the biggest problems on these fields previously was that there was a lot of undulation in the grass and there was no drainage. Once it

rained, they were basically useless for two or three days.” The practice facility will include storage areas and video rooms for the use of Duke’s varsity athletics programs. The fields are equipped with nine video cameras, all of which will be wired back to a central control room, so teams can further analyze videotapes from their practices. The new practice fields could even be used for regular season games in the event that Koskinen Stadium’s field is rendered unplayable by inclement weather. This feature is especially important following ACC expansion,

when teams like Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame will travel longer distances at greater expense to play in Durham. Thanks to its drainage system, the new practice fields will help prevent the cancellation of games. “When we planned the lining program for these fields, we made them so that by NCAA rules, right now, you could play,” Weiseman said. The soccer program will also enjoy the flexibility of being able to practice on both turf and grass during the season. As the ACC expands further into the Northeast this season, both soccer teams will utilize the turf
surfaces to prepare to play at Pittsburgh and Boston College, which both use artificial surfaces for games. Varsity athletes will not be the lone beneficiaries of Duke’s facility upgrades. The new fields will also be used for a number of Duke’s club sports teams, including rugby, soccer, lacrosse and ultimate frisbee, as well as intramural sports. A monitoring system is also being set up so that students can use their DukeCards to access the fields for recreational use as well. The opening of Duke’s new grass and turf practice fields will be the first domino to fall in a long sequence of facility upgrades funded by the Duke Forward initiative, which had raised $156 million of its $250 million goal to date. Once the new practice fields are completed, Duke will be able to begin construction on the new Williams Track and Field Stadium, which will be located at the site of the soccer and lacrosse teams’ current turf practice fields next to Koskinen Stadium. Williams Stadium is expected to be completed in the fall of 2014, and the track at Wallace Wade Stadium will be removed following the 2013 football season. Tom Coffman, Duke’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development, said in an email that Duke’s new practice fields are among the areas that can be named by donors who make gifts at certain levels, but they have yet to receive any commitments for the unnamed practice fields at this point. Although these three practice fields are See FIELDS, page 12

two NCAA Tournament teams in their opening weekend, facing off against LIU-Brooklyn and Florida. Though not the rousing opening home tournament of the past few years, the Gainesville tournament will enable the team to take senior libero Ali McCurdy home. The Tampa, Fla. native is the ACC’s two-time reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Instead of the volleyball match, Duke’s incoming freshmen will have the opportunity to attend another game during Orientation Week when the men’s soccer team takes on Old Dominion in an exhibition match at Koskinen Stadium Friday at 7 p.m. Nagel said she does not expect this year’s scheduling blip to be a permanent change, and that the volleyball program would be thrilled to host a tournament during Orientation Week in the future, should the NCAA schedule permit. “Any time when we can, we absolutely love to play at home, especially during Orientation Week,” Nagel said.

just small step in a number of large projects that will reshape Duke’s athletic facilities in the coming years, the upcoming completion of the University’s first major project has begun to shift the focus toward the future. “For Duke, it’s going to be a perfect fit,” Cragg said. “It will be the perfect blend of priorities of our school as far as providing excellent student-athlete experience.”

himself into the police around 11 a.m. Friday and was released shortly after posting the same bond. Duke head coach David Cutcliffe issued a statement Thursday night regarding the warrant for Mellencamp’s arrest. “We are aware of the charges that Hud Mellencamp faces in Indiana. Currently, we are giving him the opportunity to return to Indiana to address his legal issues,” Cutcliffe said. “We will refrain from any further comment until more information becomes available.” Mellencamp walked on to Duke’s football team in August 2012 as a freshman. He did not see game action during his first season on the team. Mellencamp did not play football in high school but was an accomplished boxer, winning the 132-pound weight class of the Indiana Golden Gloves tournament when he was 14 years old. A Bloomington Police Department employee said that Mellencamp was expected to fly back to Indiana Saturday to turn himself into police, but Mellencamp was present with the rest of his Duke teammates at the squad’s annual Meet the Blue Devils autograph signing. Capt. Joe Qualters from the Bloomington Police Department declined further comment regarding Mellencamp’s outstanding warrant or plans to turn himself in to police. The Monroe County Correctional Center, which will handle Mellencamp’s surrender, declined to comment on a timeline for his arrest.

That year, she also earned a fellowship with the Robertson Scholars Program, which allowed her to devote a portion of time to an independent project. Tony Brown, the former president of the Robertson Scholars Program, had taught Goyer at Duke and knew firsthand of her work ethic and her ability to pitch an idea. “I was not going to admit her to the class, and she actually talked me into it,” Brown said. “I didn’t think she had time for the class, and she convinced me that she’d make time, and she did.” To get the program started, Goyer raised funds for her initiative through support from Duke’s Provost’s office, as well as from several other Duke and North Carolina departments. Duke Provost Peter Lange saw Coach for College as a valuable opportunity to provide the university’s athletes with similar service opportunities to non-athletes. “It was clear that athletes would not be able, for the most part, to take advantage of DukeEngage because of their schedules,” Lange said. “If the DukeEngage experience was going to be a valuable one for non-athletes, I thought that this might be an opportunity to give at least a part of the same experience for athletes.” DukeEngage has since played an administrative role for Coach for College, and worked closely with Goyer to develop her program during the last six years. She also secured a $175,000 grant from the U.S. State Department for her 2009 summer program, and for the past two sum-
mers, Coach for College has partnered with the East Meets West Foundation, a group that has 25 years of experience working on improving education, healthcare and clean water and sanitation in Vietnam. Expanding goals Goyer’s entrepreneurial efforts only tell part of the story of her commitment to Coach for College. Since launching the program, she has also completed a Master of Science degree in comparative and international education and an MBA at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, and is currently completing a dissertation at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Although continuing her academic career puts an added strain on her time, Goyer’s education gives her the tools to take a multidisciplinary approach to her work. Her research has focused on the program and provided data to show that Coach for College both increases the student’s higher education goals and reduces dropout rates. “In the field of international development, there’s a lot of focus on evidence-based decision making and outcomes, so this provides a lot of data to show the results in a way that’s very compelling and could also be subject to rigorous examination,” said Tom Low, the CFO of the East Meets West Foundation. Low, who visited the Coach for College program this year, said that the Vietnamese students he observed were making connections between their sports activities and their academic courses. Elaine Madison, who has worked with

Coach for College as DukeEngage’s Associate Director for Programs, said that Goyer’s methodology has helped DukeEngage as well. The impact on the American student-athletes is also evident. Emily Hyland, a senior rower at Duke, served as a teacher in 2012 and decided to return as a student director in 2013.
“Meeting people that are the same age as you and going through similar experiences as you adds another dimension to the experience and is incredibly eye-opening,” Hyland said. “While you learn a lot about Vietnamese culture and way of life, you perhaps learn more about yourself, the culture you were raised in and why you see things the way that you do.”

stufftodo—on campus Go for a climb
‘The Oasis’
Standing 210 feet tall and built in Collegiate Gothic style, Duke University Chapel is the tallest and most impressive edifice on campus. It serves as a spiritual home in the heart of campus, even while attracting travelers from miles around to gaze up at the tower or admire the stunning stained glass. A lucky few students have the opportunity to climb to the top of Duke Chapel. Not only is there a gorgeous view at the top, you’ll also get a great leg workout stepping up those 210 ft.
Take your definition of ‘relaxation’ to the next level. As the name aptly explains, the Oasis is a sanctuary for students to take a break after a long day of school. Located in Bell Tower Dorm on East Campus, you can read, study, chat with your buddies while relaxing on fully automatic massage chairs. Take advantage of this resource when you can—The Oasis is only open for a limited time each day.
Flower power
Buzz off
Need a chill spot to hang out with friends? Look no further—the famed Sarah P. Duke Gardens is one of the most famous public gardens in the United States. With over 55 acres of well-maintained shrubbery and foliage, it attracts more than 300,000 visitors from all over the world annually. The Duke Gardens is also great for getting some homework done. After all, nothing beats studying in a scenic landscape.
Got a late night ahead and no caffeine around on East Campus? Head to the Duke Coffeehouse for some late night coffee and admire the wall art. Located at the back of the Crowell building behind Marketplace, it opens at 6 pm and closes at 2 am. A great place to meet cool Durham folk on campus, it’s a hipster haven. They also have nutella and floats and hookah, all on Foodpoints.
Fine dining
Monkeying around
Sometimes Marketplace food just doesn’t cut it. If that’s the case, check out the WaDuke (short for Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club). From the light lunch selections to its full five-course meals, every meal at WaDuke leaves you satisfied and craving for more. If you want to take your significant other or parents on a nice meal they won’t forget, the WaDuke is definitely the place to go.
The Duke Lemur Center, located off Erwin Rd houses the world’s largest concentration of lemurs outside Madagascar. If you watched Zaboomafoo as a child, you can go visit him 7 days a week by appointment and you’ll get a discount with your DukeCard.

He oversees undergraduate and graduate student conduct, housing, dining, activities, health care and cultural centers, among other aspects of Duke life. He came to Duke in 2001 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he holds an adjunct faculty position.

wheretoeat? Most Variety Events Pavilion Replacing the Harry Potter-esque Great Hall, this trendy new building provides a nice variety of sandwiches made to order, pizza, Southern comfort food, salad bar along with daily specials and scrumptious desserts. Maybe you’ll be lucky and stroll in on a canoli day. And the chairs are great for hanging out or studying for the ambient noise lovers. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or a full meal, the Pavilion is a good stop, so long as you can find your way to it through the construction.
Best Place to Eat on the Go Au Bon Pain Located in a central part of the Bryan Center, this is a great place to stop for lunch. With a selection of soups and both premade and fresh salads and sandwiches, ABP (what the cool kids call it) will likely become a staple of your diet. It’s also one of the few places with a wide selection of pastries but careful, they’ve got more calories than you realize.
Best Late-Night Pitchfork Provisions When much of campus appears deserted at 2 a.m. on weekend nights, Pitchfork Provisions is a reliable source of both good food and especially lively company. It’s open 24 hours, but is at its best after midnight, when it offers breakfast food as well as its 24-hour specialties, including wings, tacos and the haystack—fries topped with jalapenos, bacon, cheddar cheese and gravy. It’s not cheap, but in the wee hours it is immensely satisfying. During more common dining times, Pitchfork Provisions is also a great choice for salads and sandwiches, offering some more interesting options.
Best Place for Your Sweet Tooth Saladelia @ The Perk Located in von der Heyden Pavilion at the entrance to Perkins Library, Saladelia (more commonly referred to as von der Heyden or The Perk) is the perfect place to satisfy your craving for a sweet snack. Whether you need a boost of caffeine before a late night of studying or a light snack in between classes, The Perk offers a variety of delectable treats to keep you going throughout the day in addition to delicious wraps and sandwiches. Many of the sweets are shipped daily from Mad Hatter’s bakery, including homemade chocolate chip, heath bar and oatmeal raisin cookies. The pumpkin bread is a particularly hot commodity but avoid the cake—it tastes like stale butter. If you’re going to have a late night make sure to get in line before midnight to get provisions for the wee hours. Von der Heyden also offers a cozy environment, which is perfect for meeting a professor, planning a group project or people watching.

wheretoeat? Most Worth The Walk Law School Refectory Sure you’ll have to trek down Science Dr or Towerview Rd but the healthy food and scrumptious sweet potato fries will be worth it. With choices between burgers made at the grill and more homey tasting soups and specials, there’s something for most moods. The ample seating, natural lighting and older crowd here create the perfect ambiance for a quiet lunch with a friend or even a good solitary meal.
Best Place to Meet a Pratt-star Twinnie’s Located at the crossroads between Trinity and Pratt, Twinnie’s brings the best of both worlds together. English and biomedical engineering majors may not share the same academic passions, but they both share a hankering for fresh tuna salad wraps and Starbucks coffee. This is the only campus eatery that serves Starbucks, so if you’re into that, be sure to arrive here before the lunchtime rush, or be prepared to wait in a long line. So for a mid-day trip before science class or a meeting with your engineering professor, Twinnie’s is the perfect atmosphere to mitigate the stress induced by a tough exam. Whether you need to get your hands on that first cup of java or simply need to grab some grub before the walk back to the real West Campus, Twinnie’s is a great stop to rest your feet. Those over 21 can even grab a free beer on Friday afternoons. And don’t forget to check out the daily specials at Twinnie’s like spaghetti and meatballs and tortellini pasta. The soups—like creamy tomato and chicken noodle—are sure to warm up any cold day.
Best Burrito after 3 a.m. Cosmic Cantina Really, it’s best after 3 a.m. But if you find yourself off of East Campus and and are craving food—and lots of it—Cosmic is hard to beat. A climb up the poetically painted steps leads to burritos, chips and tacos that are cheap and—if you’re eating them at the right time of the night—fantastically delicious.
Best Place to Write a Paper Mad Hatter’s When you wake up on a Sunday afternoon and remember that Writing 20 paper due tomorrow, don’t bury yourself in an isolated Perkins cubicle. Instead, comfort yourself with a cookie large enough to feed the starting lineup of the Duke men’s basketball team. The decadent concoctions come in just about every mold and color you can imagine, and you can’t go wrong with slice of anything out of the cake case. Also, if you’re up for an early start, the cafe offers delicious eggs, pancakes and other breakfast options. Best of all, it’s equipped with free wireless Internet access so you can surf the Web for pictures from last night—or maybe even research for that paper. The prices are somewhat steep, but comforting treats and meals can ease the pain of all the work you have to do.
Best Place for Comfort Food Elmo’s Diner For any meal of the day, a stop at Elmo’s is sure to fill you up and put a smile on your face. The cheerful wait-staff and vibrant atmosphere provide a pleasant accompaniment to the burgers, salads, sandwiches and—best of all—breakfast all day. And, for those who need a reminder that children still exist, it’s always filled with local families. Elmo’s offers a long list of specials, always featuring a different type of pancake, like sweet potato or cinnamon apple. Top it all off with a root beer float or a homemade milkshake and you’ll feel right at home.

stufftodo—off campus Best place to get low: Shooters II They say a little goes a long way, and in Durham five dollars will get you access to cage dancing and a mechanical bull. Located within walking distance of East Campus on West Morgan Street, Shooters is the place everyone wants to go but no one wants to remember. Still, I can’t think of a better way to release from a stressful week of class (or at least stressful two days of class) than by dancing on the bar or against a foggy mirror. If you have a late-day class on Thursdays, Wednesdays Shooters is definitely a must. But if not, Saturday will do—just make sure you’re ready to get close and personal with your classmates. SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Best place to get away:
Brightleaf square is a popular option for a nice meal out.
Franklin Street in Chapel Hill offers a variety of restaurants and stores.
Asheville At elevation 2134 ft, Asheville is the perfect place for a weekend getaway with friends. The views of mountain scenery along the Blue Ridge Parkway are beautiful alone but the town of Asheville holds its own with its local artists and quirky shops.
Best southern experience: NC State Fair A DATA bus to Raleigh—or a really great friend with a car—guarantees a diverse southern experience, complete with competitions over who has the best farm animal and fried Oreos. Break out your cowboy boots and best southern accent for some carnival games and rides at the State Fair from Oct. 17-27. Although a trek out to Raleigh may seem daunting, the Fair is a particularly great experience for anyone hailing from the North or West Coast, where contests that have tractors as the grand prize are simply strange. Despite where you’re from, it’s a great time to go with friends for a different experience and food filled with trans fats.
Best classy night out: Durham Performing Arts Center Tired of fist pumping to mediocre house music? Try attending a show at the Durham Performing Arts Center. Better known as the DPAC, it’s located across the street from the American Tobacco Campus. For those who remember there are types of currency other than food points, tickets can be bought at the hub at discounted student rates. All together, a visit to this popular Durham destination provides a bit of class that may not be found on campus, despite its location next to the Durham County Jail.
Best escape from classes: Brightleaf Square For those days where organic chemistry is looking grim and there seems little hope for your falling econ grade, a trip to Brightleaf Square is just the thing to brighten your day (get it?) Stop by Amelia’s Cafe for a Nutella-covered crepe or Offbeat Music if you’re still in the 90s and buy CDs. No matter where you go, this close-by shopping and dining center is a must-do for Duke students.

Best retail therapy: Franklin Street Even though it’s located by that despicable school with bad taste in shades of blue a town over, Franklin Street is perfect for a day of shopping. Whether you need to escape your crazy roommate or recover from a long night, a quick Robertson Bus ride to Chapel Hill could ease your worries. It even has a Starbucks, which Duke and Durham are sadly lacking. Extra points goes to anyone who wears a Cameron Crazie shirt as they look around.

JOIN THE CHRONICLE Freshman year, I walked up three flights of stairs to a Chronicle information session in the hopes of writing a couple of articles. Two years later, I have almost 100 articles under my belt, a handful of photographs and countless memories of working and laughing with a fantastic staff of people. Joining The Chronicle is, by far, the best thing I did when I came to Duke. Becoming a part of this organization—which is older than the University itself—has given me amazing insight to the inner workings of the Duke community. However, it’s also given me a great community of friends and a place I truly refer to as my home away from home. Our office in 301 Flowers is more than just a place to work, it’s a way to connect and interact extensively with the Duke community, and share some laughs with eccentric folks along the way.
The Chronicle is an entirely student-run, independent organization that has served as the campus watchdog for 108 years. Now we are looking for new students to help continue The Chronicle’s legacy as we enter our 109th year. And we’d love to have YOU on board. We have many sections to offer incoming freshmen or returning Duke students looking to get involved: News, Sports, Recess (our weekly arts section), Towerview (our monthly magazine), Photography, Design, Online, Multimedia, Edit Board and Opinion. If you have any interest at all, we highly recommend attending a recruitment event or reaching out to us at recruitment@dukechronicle.com to see what we are all about. -- Danielle Muoio, Editor in Chief

Chronicle departments News
As reporters, we serve the important function of making sure people have access to information that’s relevant to them, in an easily accessible format. To become a news staff writer, you start out writing articles (and blog posts) across all our departments and apply to the one you like best, though you can continue writing in the others. Within news, we’ve got three departments: University, which focuses on happenings at Duke; Local/National, which looks at events and topics at the local, state, national and sometimes international levels that affect Duke; and Health & Science, which looks primarily at things like innovations at the medical center or cutting-edge research. In addition, we have a blog that touches on all three departments, and the posts tend to be shorter, lighter pieces compared to full news stories. Many news writers gain experience and look for challenging long-term assignments. Since these features and investigative stories may not often fit the traditional news cycle, interested writers work with the Special Projects Editor. If you are interested in pursuing more in-depth, longterm projects, you can with some experience in writing and reporting. Staff writers are required to write at least once a week, pitch at least three stories each week and attend News meeting. In addition, staff writers are assigned a “beat” —a subtopic within their department where they develop contacts to keep up to date and find new story ideas. If you want to be more involved, you can apply to be an associate editor, and eventually other leadership positions. Even if you join the Chronicle as part of the News department, you are welcome take assignments in other departments to learn more and develop diverse skills. You also develop friendships with other staff members, including upperclassmen, whom you might otherwise not meet. Prior experience is absolutely not necessary. We look forward to you joining us! Feel free to contact me at raisa.chowdhury@duke.edu if you’re interested in news or have any questions.

Editorial Pages
The Editorial Pages strive to be the collective voice of the Duke community, incorporating the thoughts and opinions of Duke students, professors, faculty, and alumni alike. In addition to the daily editorials written by The Chronicle’s independent Editorial Board, the Editorial Pages publish twenty-five biweekly columnists and rotating author series from multiple perspectives, covering countless issues of interest to the Duke community. These columnists have the unique opportunity to personally shape important dialogue on campus through The Chronicle’s vast readership. Columnist positions do not entail a significant time commitment but do come with opportunities for advancement in The Chronicle.
New columnists are selected every semester through a written application process. The Spring 2014 Columnist Application will be released in November and all are welcome to apply. The Editorial Pages also regularly publish letters to the editor and guest columns, which can be submitted anytime by anyone at chronicleletters@duke.edu. For more information about how you can make your voice heard, or if you would like to join our team of editors, send an email to chronicle.recruitment@gmail.com or contact Scott Briggs, the Editorial Page Editor, directly at sab59@duke.edu.
Editorial Board
The mission of the Editorial Board is to enrich campus dialogue by offering thoughtful opinions on a variety of issues; to hold students, faculty and administrators publicly accountable for their statements and actions, and to help students sharpen their journalistic and writing skills. The Board publishes opinions daily, and the issues we cover range from the intricacies of social life to the financial sustainability of higher education. Board members have a unique opportunity to engage in stimulating conversations with their peers, meet regularly with professors and administrators and compose pieces that not only reach a wide audience, but that can also help shape University policy. We will accept applications at the beginning of the Fall semester. We welcome applications from students who want to improve Duke through vigorous campus debate, consider a wide range of issues in a collaborative environment and become better critical thinkers, speakers

Recess
Recess writers are passionate about the culture and media that they consume and can’t help but share that passion with the Duke community and beyond. The arts (music, film, visual, food, dance, literature, and more) are alive and thriving at Duke. It’s our job through Recess to tell everyone what’s up! The section runs on Thursdays; Thursday afternoon budget meetings are a welcoming place to discuss and share ideas. This is where the art, film, and music editors pitch new stories for the coming week’s issue. The stories are due that Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday is for copy-editing and production. Thursday morning, the issue runs, and we start all over again. It’s a labor of love that builds a sense of community week by week. We keep it low pressure, too—basically, you can write every single week, or you can pop into a meeting once a semester. The choice is yours. No journalistic experience required, just bring your enthusiasm and an open mind. Seize your opportunity to speak for the arts at Duke and in Durham! If you have any questions, please feel free to email Lauren at lgf4@duke.edu.
Towerview
Towerview, The Chronicle’s news and culture magazine, is known for its signature long-form investigative journalism, profiles
of interesting people and places, and photo essays. We also publish diverse content in the front and back pages, including creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, column-style reflections about odd questions/ ideas/ eccentricities and a regular back-of-theissue piece called The Inquisitor, in which the Towerview staff poses an amusing, odd question and solicits responses from Duke experts in the pertinent field. Towerview publishes five issues during the academic year and one during the summer. Writers, culture aficionados, photographers, illustrators and web designers are all essential to Towerview, and can take positions on Towerview’s masthead of editors beginning their sophomore year. Staff positions apart from the masthead are also available to any new members who would like to work with Towerview this year. Time commitments range from about 5-6 hours a month as a writer, to 10 hours a month as an editor. If you have a question and want to speak to the current editors, email Ashley Mooney (ashley. mooney@duke.edu) or Caitlin Moyles (caitlin. moyles@duke.edu).
Online development
As the Chronicle moves to a digital first model this year, it is more important than ever that we build a fantastic online platform for the Duke community to enjoy. Chronicle Online is a small, agile team of programmers and designers responsible for making this happen. The best way to take your programming ability to the next level is to get real experience working on a site with hundreds of thousands of monthly views.

JOIN THE CHRONICLE On the Chronline team, you will get to design and launch exciting new features that your peers will see and use. We are looking for students with prior programming experience who are are self motivating and interested in learning about web development and software engineering. We work on features individually or in pairs and discuss our plans and progress at weekly meetings. If you like hacking and want to tackle some really cool problems, fill out the interest form. You are welcome to email me at jim.posen@gmail.com with any questions.
Online design
At The Chronicle, we have the rare opportunity to work on a website that gets hundreds of thousands of views every month. The website is built, run, and designed entirely by a small team of students. In order to create the best expe-
rience for visitors, we need a team of designers to revamp the look and feel of our online presence. Designers create mock ups using a tool of their choosing and have complete control over site aesthetics. You do not need to have prior web design experience, but if you are interested in learning about HTML and CSS we can help you. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to work on a project that is used daily by thousands of their peers. If you are at all interested, please email me at jim.posen@gmail. com.

Print design
The design department takes care of two major visual elements in the Chronicle: layout and graphics. The layout team works to incorporate the day’s news systematically on our newspaper spreads, while graphic designers create corresponding visuals/infographics to go with the articles. We look for individuals with a sharp eye who are enthusiastic, creative, meticulous and willing to think outside the box. Expertise in InDesign and Photoshop is encouraged, but by no means necessary (we’ll train you from scratch!). So if you want to learn these programs and are willing to commit to giving the Chronicle a tangible, visual appeal, consider joining our design team! For more information, contact your design editors Rita Lo (rita. lo@duke.edu) or Kelsey Hopkins (kelsey.hopkins@duke.edu).

What’s the time commitment like? Broadly speaking, the time commitment is what you’re comfortable putting in based on your schedule. Please refer to the department descriptions to get a a more specific idea. Starting out in any department will likely take a few hours per week when you take assignments. If you take on a staff position, you are expected to contribute a certain amount of work, but the decision to do that comes with some experience and time at The Chronicle.
Can I join later on during the academic year or during my time at Duke? Absolutely. Although we may not have formal info sessions or open houses, feel free to email recruitment@dukechronicle.com for more information at any point during the year.
Can I work in multiple departments? Definitely. If you’re starting out, it’s worth trying out different departments to see what you like. If you eventually decide to apply for staff positions with regular commitments, you may find it harder to balance across departments. That being said, many staff members have worked across multiple departments, and their editors worked with them to balance their interests. You should know that, if you are interested in writing for News, Sports or Recess, you cannot write for the Opinion section.
Do you only take people with certain majors or interests? Absolutely not. Our staff spans every major from the humanities and social sciences to engineering. We have some graduate students on our staff as well. Certain areas, such as web programming, may draw students with more technical backgrounds or interests, but we are open to all students across the University.
