part of West Dzau leaves DUHS ‘prepared for the future’ Duke ceiling collapses by Tim Bai and Tony Shan THE CHRONICLE
by Georgia Parke THE CHRONICLE
The ceiling of a room in the West Duke building collapsed on East Campus Wednesday afternoon. Room 202 was unoccupied at the time of the collapse, approximately 12:40 p.m. Students were in the room shortly before it collapsed and heard noises coming from the ceiling tiles, left the room and alerted the Facilities Management office. There were no injuries in the incident, said Emergency Coordinator Kyle Cavanaugh, but the building was evacuated by police to exercise caution. Classes located in West Duke have been relocated, and a structural engineer has examined the building for any evidence of why the accident took place. “From an emergency management protocol, when we have something like this, we want to make sure there were no injuries and thank goodness we didn’t have any,” Cavanaugh said. “That was the very first thing we wanted to make sure of, and everyone was safely escorted from the building.” See WEST DUKE, page 4

Dr. Victor Dzau will step down as president of DUHS and take the position of president of the Institute of Medicine.
When he leaves Duke June 30, Dr. Victor Dzau, CEO and president of Duke University Health System and chancellor for health affairs, will take his expertise to his new position as president of the Institute of Medicine. The IOM, which provides healthcare recommendations and scientifically informed analysis on public health care delivery and quality, is widely regarded as a primary adviser to policymakers, health professionals and the public. Dzau, who will be succeeding the current IOM president Dr. Harvey Fineberg, will assume his new position beginning July 1. Dzau said that working with IOM will allow him to help make a difference by tackling critical issues in healthcare and biomedical services on a larger scale. “I’ve been at Duke for almost 10 years, and it’s been the best 10 years of my life,” Dzau said. “The issues we tackle at Duke are part of the larger picture both national and globally. At the IOM, I’ll be able to address these issues at the national level.” During his time as CEO and chancellor, See DZAU, page 13

Inclement weather could only put off college basketball’s premiere rivalry for so long. After last Wednesday’s scheduled matchup was called off due to ice and snow from a winter storm that smothered the Triangle, No. 5 Duke and North Carolina will collide 9 p.m. Thursday at the Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill. The season’s first installment of the ageold rivalry will be Duke’s third of four games in an eight-day span. With victories against Maryland and Georgia Tech in the rearview mirror, the Blue Devils will travel down Tobacco Road seeking an eighth win in their last

Although the keys to a victory against the Tar Heels will lie largely in the X’s and O’s, sleep and physical recovery will be just as important. “The main thing for our guys is to get some rest and go to class,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said following Tuesday’s win. “We’ll practice in the afternoon [Wednesday], probably nothing physical, and then try See M.

Mayor Bell addresses DSG on stonemason illustrates process student involvement in Durham for Nicholas school sculpture by Hayley Trainer THE CHRONICLE
Durham Mayor Bill Bell addressed the Duke Student Government Senate meeting Wednesday night about the current state of Durham and the projects his office is working on. Bell has been the mayor of Durham since 2001, and he said that Durham has undergone an economic transformation during his time in office. This has, he said, been in part due to the presence of Duke and the Triangle Park. He noted that his focus for 2014 will be the reduction of poverty and that the Duke community will be essential in this project. “Durham is a city that still has pockets of poverty,” Bell said. “We’re going to go neighborhood by neighborhood, year by year, because changes like this don’t happen overnight.” Bell highlighted the transformation of the Tobacco District into office buildings, which allowed the city to retain the historical significance of the district while creating workable space for new businesses. He noted that the University played a significant part in this renovation, as many university offices have moved into Tobacco District buildings. Bell said the Durham City Council is also considering is an increase in the property tax by one—which would amount to $2.8 million—to allow for the expansion of parks. In the future, Bell said that he hopes Duke students and faculty will continue to involve themselves in the Durham community, despite the tendency
of some students to isolate their Duke education from their role as a Durham resident. “Duke used to be an island in Durham,” Bell said. “A lot of that has now changed, as not only the students, but the staff, the administration, have all become more involved in the community.” Bell said that he has spoken to people who had participated in Duke-sponsored tutoring programs as children, and they said the opportunity to learn from Duke students greatly affected their lives. In addition, Bell said he hopes students will become actively and politically involved in the Durham community, and he noted that the votes of a few can have a significant impact on the future of Durham. “I won the first election by 500 votes,” Bell said. “I’m a living example that yes, the vote does count.” In other news: Junior Will Giles, a DSG presidential candidate, addressed the senate on the concerns he has with several current DSG systems. These included senator appointments, rather than elections, with vacant seats or at-large senators, and lack of open discussion surrounding issues such as the 40 Percent Plan and the new bike sharing program.

COURTESY OF THEA ALVIN
Stonemason-artist Thea Alvin is the designer of the sculpture installation at the Nicholas School.
by Jenna Zhang THE CHRONICLE
Stonemason-artist Thea Alvin provided insight Wednesday into her artistic landscaping projects at the Nicholas School for the Environment. Alvin is the designer of “In Good Time,” a sculpture installation at the Nicholas School currently in progress. Construction of the sculpture began Feb. 8 and will continue until March 28 as part of the development of the planned Environment Hall. Alvin emphasizes fluidity and integration with the natural environment in her work, and she said that “In Good Time” will seek to evoke the beauty
found in primitive stone architecture. “I work as if I were a pencil sketcher with stone material,” Alvin said. “I let the natural face and natural shape of things happen.” Alvin’s structures are primarily constructed from uncut or unmanipulated stone. Only 50 percent of the stone she uses in her work is cut, she estimated. “Very few of the stones require manipulation, because I select them to fit,” Alvin said. “My gift is that I don’t see in color. I see color, but I don’t see in color. I see in shape.” Alvin has designed and helped construct See SCULPTURE, page 13

Facebook exec. talks public policy-making, education Joel Kaplan, vice president of public policy at Facebook, discussed the challenges of public policy-making at the Sanford School of Public Policy Wednesday. The event was hosted by American Grand Strategy. The Chronicle’s Shanen Ganapathee sat down with Kaplan to discuss his role as the former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, his goals at Facebook and his career plans as a college student. The Chronicle: How was the move from White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy to vice president of public policy at Facebook? Joel Kaplan: It’s been an interesting transition. I was in the White house under the [George W.] Bush administration, which was a wonderful opportunity. By the time I got to the end of the eight years, which is a long time for anybody to serve in those roles, I was pretty tired and was ready for something different. The Bush administration was a really consequential time in American history, which I was fortunate to be part of. But at the end, especially with the financial crisis that came in the last five months or so of the Bush administration, I was ready to move on and do something different. It took a little while for me to get the opportunity at Facebook, but when I did it, it really was the perfect fit for me. One of the things that I find at Facebook which is quite similar [to the experience I had in the government] is that it’s a place that attracts really smart, energetic, enthusiastic and driven people who want to be part of something bigger than themselves and that’s exactly what you tend to find in government. Being able to replicate that in the private sector in a company that’s doing really big and important things and contributing to transformational changes and role, was a really good opportunity for transition. TC: While you were at college, what were your career plans? JK: When I was in college, I thought I was going to be a lawyer. I actually applied to law school as a senior in college and was admitted
and intended to attend. In the summer after my senior year, I decided that I was not ready to go back to school right away. I wanted a set of experiences that I had not been subjected to up to that point. So, I joined the Marines. It was not the road map at all. It was just a terrific experience for me and it made me much more prepared when I actually went to Law School. I went to Law School and was back on the path of becoming a lawyer. After I graduated Law School I did a couple of clerkships, and by the end of my second clerkship... I decided that I would try to join the Bush campaign. I thought it was going to be a four-month detour, but I ended up having some great opportunities and got connected with a guy, who would go on and become my mentor—Josh Bolten [former White House Chief of Staff]... asked me to come and join him in the chief of staff’s office. That was not at all what I had planned and what I thought I would do. I always thought I was going to be a lawyer. Instead, I ended up having a really interesting career in policy, at the intersection of public policy and politics. I found out that it was what I loved to do and Facebook gave me an opportunity to continue doing what I loved, but from a different vantage point in the private sector. TC: What do you focus on at Facebook? JK: One of the things that we are always focused on in the public policy department at Facebook is explaining our privacy policies and practices to policy makers and that’s often an issue that they are interested in understanding. Our job in Washington is to communicate and explain policy and procedures and protections we have for people who use our service, and it’s also to understand and hear from policy maker about the things they are concerned about or the things their constituents are concerned about. [We then] bring those back to our business partners within Facebook, who then internalize it in the processes they have for designing products. For instance, because of some work com-
Q& A
mitment we made to the federal trade commission, we put in place a new chief privacy officer for policy in Washington and the chief privacy officer for product works with the engineers to make sure the privacy is baked into all of our products from the beginning of the process. There is really this iterative process of dialogue that takes place between the company on the business side and policy makers through the public policy function that I am a part of. We also have spent a lot of time in the last couple of years with issues having to do with online piracy and we also had a big role to play in the debate around [Stop Online Piracy Act] and [Protect IP Act]. Since then, we have spent a lot of time advocating for reforms in our immigration policies both with respect to the need for more high-skilled temporary work Visas and green cards so that we can attract and retain the type of high-skilled engineering workforce that we need and U.S. schools are not generating enough of. We’ve spent a lot of our time on educating people in Washington about the impact of those policies on our industry and our economy. In the last seven or eight months, we’ve been dealing with the fallout from Snowden’s leaks about the NSA.
TC: What do think will help generate the workforce that you say Facebook needs? JK: First of all, I think it has to start a lot younger than college and so we need to do a better job in our elementary schools and high schools of teaching STEM subjects and computer science. This is something our educational system has just not kept up with and that’s particularly true with respect to low income schools and is particularly true in diverse communities and specially with women. We have a huge disparity in this country in terms of the number of women that are encouraged to pursue academic degrees in computer science, We’ve got the COO of Facebook Sheryl Sandberg who’s been a really active spokeswoman for making sure that we are not hindering women’s ambition with societal expectations. More than half of the

population of college graduates are women and a very few percentage of them are pursuing STEM subjects, so we are losing a big opportunity as a country and a huge resource to use the best minds we have and put them into these fields that are creating tremendous economic growth. In the short term you just need temporary work Visas and green cards for people who have the skills, many of whom come here to get educated in our great universities like the one we are at, but then we kick them out, send them home and they take all the benefit of that great education we provide them and let their economies benefit from it rather than take advantage of it here. So, in the short term we need to have reforms in our immigration policies to allow companies to attract high-skilled labor and make sure there is an adequate amount of Visas to match the demand for labor. Then, in a longer term, we can address this problem in the pipeline and ensure that we are providing quality education. TC: What was the goal you wished to achieve in coming here? JK: I was invited here by an old colleague of mine from my White House days, Professor [Peter] Feaver, and I think his hope was that I would be able to come and share a little bit about my experiences of working in both the private sector and the government, and just give a picture of students interested in those fields what it looks like to work in public policy to see whether that’s of interest to them .Or maybe I’ll scare them off a bit. TC: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve witnessed while working at Facebook? JK: When you walk on our campus in Menlo park... somebody has put a big model doll house in the middle of the campus and sticking out from the doll house are a pair of legs that are supposed to represent the Wicked Witch of the East. Nobody has ever satisfactorily explained to me what this is doing in the middle of our campus.

Cavanaugh did not have additional information about what may have caused the collapse. The structural engineers will continue to inspect West Duke and will be able to make an evaluation later this week. Cavanaugh noted that he has not witnessed any previous issues with the structures of either the West Duke or East Duke buildings. “We were told we would know something more from a facilities standpoint by Friday afternoon,” he said. “[The engineers] are trying to determine the root cause and things that should be done.” Maintenance crews in hard hats surrounded the building after the collapse, allowing people to go in one at a time to retrieve their belongings, said Michaela Dwyer, Trinity ‘13 and a Stephen and Janet Bear postgraduate fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics. Dwyer, a former Recess editor for The Chronicle, works in West Duke but was off campus at the time of the collapse. She said her colleagues, most of whom were in the building at the time, were evacuated even though they were on the first floor of the building and the collapse was on the second. Cavanaugh noted the building will likely be closed off through the weekend, and potentially longer. It is unknown at this point what measures will be necessary, he said. Kenan expects its employees to be working from home until at least Sunday, Dwyer said. Erin McInerney, a junior who normally has a class at 1:25 p.m. in West Duke 202, said she was blocked off from the building when she tried to approach and informed by authorities that the building had been evacuated. Her class then spent about 15 minutes trying to locate another classroom for them to use for the remainder of the period. Forty-nine different courses are normally
housed in West Duke throughout the week. All of them have been temporarily relocated by the registrar’s office, and their alternative locations are posted on the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences website. “The registrar’s office has been phenomenal at relocating all the classes that have been scheduled there for Thursday and Friday,” Cavanaugh said. “They’ve been putting together a host of communications strategies.” The student body was also notified of the classroom changes and the collapse via an email Wednesday night by Lee Baker, dean of academic affairs for Trinity College. Elizabeth Djinis contributed reporting.

The senate granted $2,946 through Student Organization Funding Committee SOFC to Blue Devils United for the What I Be campaign that will begin on Feb. 23. The senate also granted $1,125 to fund the Red Flag campaign to address gender violence and $2,380 to Alpha Kappa Delta Phi for the Dumbfoundhead concert on March 4 at 8 p.m. in Reynolds Theater. The senate granted recognized status to Starting From Scratch, a student organization to teach computer science to middle school and high school students.

Blue Devils close out regular season by Delaney King the chronicle
the Blue Devils will use two final home meets to close out their season and prepare for the postseason next month. Duke welcomes n.c. State and no. 23 northwestern to a dual tournament Saturday at card Gym. the Blue Devils will match up in their final Acc tilt before taking on a Wildcat squad that has yet N.C. State to lose a nonconfervs. ence meet. “We had a good three days of pracDuke tice… just trying to SATURDAY, 10 a.m. see where our guys Card Gym are—last Acc dual of the season, and No. 23 NU then a Big ten team vs. coming in as well,” head coach Glen No. 8 lanham said. “i’m Duke excited to see our SATURDAY, 2 p.m. guys compete.” Card Gym Facing off against the Wolfpack (13-6, 1-4 in the Acc) at 10 a.m., the Blue Devils (6-13, 0-5) will close out conference play attempting to earn the highest possible placement for the fast-approaching Acc championships. in the last meeting between these in-state foes, Duke claimed a 22-9 victory on n.c. State’s home mats Feb. 20, 2013. this
year’s Blue Devil squad, however, returns only three wrestlers from last year’s lineup. “[n.c. State is] coming off a good season. they’re wrestling tough,” lanham said. “our lineup has kind of changed from last year, having two ncAA qualifiers out [due to injury], but bottom line is we have some individual matchups there, and i feel like we’ve got to compete in those matches, so we’ll see what happens.” the featured round of the morning will be at the 157-pound weight class, where immanuel Kerr-Brown will look to finish his regular season conference competition undefeated. the redshirt junior will be squaring off against Wolfpack junior tommy Gantt, who has only lost once this season to a conference opponent. KerrBrown and Gantt were both ranked in the most recent coaches’ panel at no. 22 and no. 19, respectively. “that’s going to be a really good matchup for us. Basically, that match is going to be for the top seed in the conference,” lanham said. “i feel like [Kerr-Brown]’s been wrestling well… and i think that [he’s] going to come out on top for sure.” After a brief respite during which n.c. State and Wildcats will wrestle each other, the Blue Devils will step back onto the mats to face their first Big ten opponent in nearly three months. northwestern— whose conference dominates the rankings with 10 teams in the top 25—enters Satur-
day with four ranked wrestlers, including no. 1 heavyweight Mike McMullan. this year’s bout with northwestern (77) will likely feature two repeat matchups at the 174- and 197-pound weight classes with Blue Devil redshirt sophomores trey Adamson and conner hartmann seeking revenge against Wildcat juniors lee Munster and no. 16 Alex Polizzi. “it’s just practice for Accs. i feel like it’s a good test for our guys. i know conner’s got… two really tough opponents,” lanham said. “[We’re] just trying to prepare for Accs. We’re going to be off for two weeks after that, so i think a good push going into Accs is going to be good for our guys—a good test for them.” With an end to the regular season Saturday and two weeks to prepare, both Duke and n.c. State will look ahead to March 8, when they will travel to Blacksburg, Va., for the Acc championships. in addition to vying for a team win in conference against the Wolfpack, Duke’s individual wrestlers will be competing to improve their chances of qualifying for ncAAs. “obviously, we’ve had a really tough schedule this year,” lanham said. “My concern is just to have our guys ready for nationals and Accs, and so that’s what i feel like we’re trying to do. We’re trying to peak at the right time, and [Saturday is] just another step to those two tournaments.”

Duke Following suit FRIDAY, 3 p.m. with many programs Jack Coombs Field across the country, the Blue Devils will host their tournaSaint ment—the Duke Louis Baseball Classic— vs. this weekend at Jack Coombs Field and Duke the USA Baseball SATURDAY, 1 p.m. Complex in Cary, Jack Coombs Field N.C. The tournament will be comprised of Duke, La Akron Salle, Akron, and vs. St. Louis with each team playing the Duke others once during the course of the SUNDAY, 3 p.m. weekend. The Blue Jack Coombs Field Devils’ will face off against La Salle Friday at 3 p.m., Saint Louis Saturday at 1 p.m. and Akron Sunday at 3 p.m. Duke will play all three of its games at Jack Coombs Field.
“It’s something that we had talked about from a sort of philosophical scheduling standpoint,” head coach Chris Pollard said. “If you look out there across the country there are a lot of programs that have kind of adopted this model.” Originally, the Blue Devils planned to start their Baseball Classic in 2015 and were slated to have a three-game series against Akron at home this weekend. The head coach of La Salle, Mike Lake, ran into some scheduling difficulties and contacted Pollard about the possibility of playing a game this weekend against Duke. At the same time, Saint Louis was facing a similar situation as La Salle and contacted Pollard as well. After speaking to the staff at Akron and the higher-ups at Duke, the team decided to start its new tournament this year instead. Duke (2-2) has started the season swinging the bat well, scoring five or more runs in each of its first four games. Senior third basemen Jordan Betts has been off to a particularly hot start, hitting .471 through the early stages of the season and driving in seven runs. Redshirt junior right fielder Chris Marconcini is coming off his best outing of the year, in which he reached base safely in all seven plate appearances in the extra-inning loss to UNC-Greensboro. As they gear up to face three teams this weekend instead of just one opponent, the Blue Devils are preparing as they would for any other series.
But for Pollard and the rest of the Duke coaching staff, this weekend presents a unique early-season challenge. “From a coaching standpoint you have to prepare differently because we’re used to putting together a scouting report for one team for a weekend, and now we’ve got to put together three reports for three different teams,” Pollard said. “I think our guys like it. Early in the year you want to play some different people. Each team you play you learn from…. That whole process is going to make us better going into ACC play.” Each of the three teams that Duke will face has gotten off to rough starts. After upsetting No. 21 Alabama in the opening game of a three-game set, Saint Louis (1-2) dropped its next two games to the Crimson Tide. Akron (0-2) was swept in its season-opening doubleheader against Winthrop. La Salle (03) was swept in its season-opening series against Campbell. According to Pollard, junior Trent Swart will likely get the nod to start in the opening game Friday against La Salle, and the Blue Devils will likely keep the order of starters they played last weekend. This would put sophomore Michael Matuel-

la—reigning ACC Pitcher of the week— on the mound against Saint Louis and sophomore James Marvel finishing up the tournament against Akron. The Blue Devils have also gone with various lineups through their first four games, and Pollard plans to continue keeping some variety in his lineup cards this weekend. “We tried some different lineups while [redshirt senior outfielder] Ryan Deitrich was out with the injury,” Pollard said. “Barring any setbacks he’ll be back in the lineup this weekend, which adds another option for us. So I look for us to use some different combinations again this weekend as we attempt to find the right chemistry going into ACC play.” With the start of ACC play just two weeks away, the first annual Duke Baseball Classic will play a vital role in the Blue Devils early development. They will look to correct the mistakes they made in their first four games and find the right formulas to succeed this season. Duke is trying to finish above .500 overall for the first time since the 2010 season and above .500 in conference games for the first time since 1994.

to get a great night’s sleep [Wednesday] night and play. It’s just the way it worked out. Obviously the decision not to play last week was an outstanding one. It puts you at a little bit of a disadvantage, but there was no other time to play the game.” The rescheduling was just as burdensome on the Tar Heels (18-7, 8-4). Winners of their past seven contests after an ominous 1-4 start in conference play, Roy Williams’ squad will host Duke after wins against Pittsburgh and Florida State, with a matchup against Wake Forest waiting on Saturday. Regardless of the circumstances leading into the game, Krzyzewski doesn’t expect any problems in getting his team motivated or energized to play North Carolina. “It is what it is. Would you rather not be in that game, even if you played the night before?” Krzyzewski said. “Of course you would rather be in this game and the game on Saturday. No excuses and let’s play…. Hopefully we’ll play well because North Carolina is playing great.” Duke prepared for the Tar Heels last week expecting to play Feb. 12, so the gameplan is still fresh in the team’s mind even with two other games sandwiched in between. “We went over [the gameplan] a lot last week when we had limited games—I think we had a bye week because of the snow,” freshman forward Jabari Parker said. “We just need to refresh ourselves briefly.” North Carolina’s two games between the postponed contest and Thursday’s makeup game have been a Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde story for forward James Michael McAdoo. The junior had one of the most impressive showings of his career Saturday against Pittsburgh, notching 24 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Tar Heels down the stretch. But in Tallahassee, Fla., Monday night, McAdoo was scoreless in just 13 minutes of action as he battled severe foul trouble, eventually fouling out. North Carolina survived without him, however, thanks to a career-high 23 points from freshman forward Kennedy Meeks. Adding Meeks to a dangerous roster that includes four double-figure scorers in McAdoo, point guard Marcus Paige, shooting guard Leslie McDonald and forward Brice Johnson, Duke’s defense will have its hands full all over the floor Thursday night. After a lockdown defensive performance against the Yellow Jackets, the Blue Devils will head back to the film room looking to pick up on some Tar Heel tendencies. “They’ve played a couple more games since then, so [we’ll] watch that new film and what guys have been doing,” captain Tyler Thornton said. “We’ll be ready to play on Thursday.” With a highly anticipated rematch looming Saturday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium against No. 1 Syracuse - which suffered its first defeat of the season Wednesday night in overtime to Boston College - the Blue Devils cannot afford to look past North Carolina, crazy as it may sound. Given the Tar Heels’ recent stretch of dominance and the game’s implications in the ACC standings—a North Carolina win would put the Tar Heels half a game behind the third-place Blue Dev-

“We said we were going to try to just play one game and then another game and then another game…. We’ve got to look at now, we’re playing North Carolina, and whatever the result of that is, then get ready for Syracuse.”

changes and eight Wildcat goal scorers. “You obviously have to take what they did against Virginia and prepare,” Kimel said. “But what we need to focus on is their tendencies and then be ready to make changes as the game goes on with whatever they’re doing on offense.” Midfielder Alyssa Leonard, who notched two goals against the Cavaliers, is Northwestern’s leading returning scorer after recording 37 tallies last season. The senior set school records for draw controls in a single season with 125 during her junior year. Leonard also led the Wildcats in assists in 2013. Northwestern only returns one true defender from last season in senior Kerri Harrington. As a faceguarding specialist, Harrington was the only non-senior besides Leonard and goalkeeper Bridget Bianco to start 19 games or more. She will be joined on the defense by graduate student Kate Ivory, who earned an extra year of eligibility after a knee injury cut her junior season short at Cornell. Ivory was named the 2013 Ivy League Defender of the Year and tied the Big Red’s school record with 33 caused turnovers. “Even though Northwestern graduated a lot [defensively], they tend to rebuild year after year,” Kimel said. “In terms of Leonard, she’s hard to combat. She’s known for the draw, and obviously we’re going to have a plan for her.” Countering Harrington, Ivory and Bianco will be Duke’s offense, led by junior Kerrin Maurer. Playing attack, she led the Blue Devils in scoring with 70 points on

35 goals and 35 assists last season, and has done the same so far in 2014 with 13 goals and five assists. She is joined up front by sophomore Kelci Smesko, who is second in points with eight off five goals and three assists. To make a dent against the Blue Devils, the Wildcats will first have to get through 2013 second-team All-American goalkeeper Kelsey Duryea. The sophomore is third in the ACC with a .536 save percentage and is second with an average of 7.5 saves per game. “At least in the last couple of seasons, [Northwestern] has been more veteran, and we’ve been a lot younger, which has shown in our performances,” Kimel said. “I don’t think we’ve necessarily been the most composed team when we’ve played them, but our group is more experienced this year.” The last time Duke faced Northwestern was during its third-to-last contest of the 2013 season, when they fell to the Wildcats 12-4. It was the Blue Devils’ lowest scoring output of the season, with Northwestern recording more shots and draw controls, and 14 fewer fouls, than Duke. The Wildcats hold a 10-game winning streak over the Blue Devils, dating back to 2006. But Kimel thinks that this year her squad could break the pattern. “What’s neat is that we have a lot of scoring threat, and we try to cultivate a lot of different types of players so we’re not just one- or two-dimensional,” Kimel said. “If you shut down one person, you’re going to have to worry about seven or eight others, and that’s the way we’d ideally like to be. We want to be unpredictable.”

defensive performance against one of the best frontcourts in the country. North Carolina State’s Markeisha Gatling and Kody Burke combine to average 32.2 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Gatling—who stands at 6-foot-5—also shoots 68.2 percent from the field to lead the Wolfpack (22-4, 9-3). Burke’s versatility stretches the floor to give North Carolina State great spacing and her fellow senior even more room to operate down low. “It’s a super team,” McCallie said. “They’ve got a little bit of everything—a big strong post on the inside, [and] a very complementary excellent post Kody Burke. What makes her special is she’s a post player who’s just throwing threes up there, so you really have to contest her.” Duke’s All-American center Elizabeth Williams will determine how much the Blue Devils can compete with the Wolfpack inside. The junior center had a career-high 28 points against North Carolina and had 17 points and 11 rebounds in Monday’s contest. The ACC’s leading shot blocker will need another big game on both ends of the court for Duke to play inside-out like the Blue Devils normally do. Williams’ ability to get Gatling in foul trouble could also become a major factor in the game. Duke will likely try to get its other primary frontcourt player—senior Haley Peters—involved in the offense. The versatile forward sets the tone for Duke’s defense with her versatility and communication, but has scored just three points in her last two contests.

Although the Wolfpack tend to look inside for scoring, Duke’s guards must make sure to find N.C. State’s major threat from the perimeter. Guard Myisha Goodwin-Coleman, at 5-foot-4 averages 10.8 points and three made 3-pointers per contest. The senior has made 77 3-pointers on the season. “[She] really has the ability to throw up threes at the right moment for them,” McCallie said. “Their point guard is [also] solid. They all play a great role.” Duke’s point guard Alexis Jones will try to lead another strong defensive effort by pressuring Goodwin-Coleman and the other Wolfpack ball handlers. Jones will also look to build off her best performance of the season after scoring 22 points and making five 3-pointers Monday. The sophomore’s ability to control the pace of the game as she did against the Terrapins could also give the Blue Devils a crucial advantage against their future opponents. Duke had 12 fastbreak points Monday and freshmen post players Oderah Chidom and Kendall McCravey benefited from the faster pace of play. The duo combined for 11 points off the bench. Although the Blue Devils were satisfied with their offensive performance against Maryland, they know that their success going forward will likely be determined by their defensive intensity. “[The defense is] a work in progress,” McCallie said. “There are lots of lessons to learn. I feel like we’re climbing a ladder or a mountain because I view N.C. State as a very good team—perhaps to some degree even better than Maryland in many, many ways. We’re climbing on to the next step. ”

tolerance in the locker room Michael Sam, a defensive end for the University of Missouri Tigers, announced last week that he is gay. Although the number of openly gay athletes has increased in recent years, several anonymous National Football League executives, personnel and staffers noted in a Sports Illustrated feature that the NFL locker room is not ready for an openly gay player. Drawing ire from all quarters, some of the personnel quoted in the article argued that openly gay players would induce “chemical imbalance” and that professional football is still a “man’s-man game.” One source insisted that the NFL would be ready to accept openly gay players “in the coming decade or two,” but not today. The male locker room can promote hypermasculine attitudes towards sex and sexuality, and it remains unclear how openly gay athletes would fit into that environment. Several of the NFL executives quoted in the Sports Illustrated article expressed concern that the presence of openly gay players might cause sexual tension and unsolicited attraction, interfering with team dynamics. Although sexuality is a complex phenomenon and it is difficult to determine precisely why some straight athletes might feel uneasy about gay teammates—the fact that some
Not to disagree with your message, but making a statement “on behalf of everyone” seems a bit like overreaching who you represent. Some want to apologize to Lauren for the harsh words against her, but others feel the criticisms of her industry are valid and should not be withdrawn.

Editorial Female athletes, on the other hand, seem to face less resistance and controversy when they openly embrace a lesbian sexual identity. This is, in part, because some perceive these athletes as shifting toward a dominant and celebrated masculine norm, rather than away from it. The persistence of misunderstanding, tension and a masculine ideal in athletics is a reason to encourage sexual diversity, not suppress it. The best way to include and empower those who are marginalized is through honest dialogue and sustained interaction. Michael Sam’s announcement not only presents an opportunity to observe the masculine ideal that has long been associated with athletic success; it also allows us to better understand how spaces

like the locker room can become more inclusive and tolerant of sexual difference. Few of Duke’s athletes face the intense public scrutiny endured by professionals, but athletes at Duke may experience difficulty in openly expressing a non-heterosexual sexual identity. Fortunately, groups like The Athlete Ally Program—a national organization that fosters discussions about sexuality in sports—are working to make teams more inclusive by recruiting athletes on campus to help combat homophobia in athletic environments. We laud the group’s mission. A more inclusive locker room promises not only to assist gay athletes, but also to foster greater understanding between teammates—something that will help, not hinder, team dynamics in the long run. As Audre Lorde, writer and civil rights activist, wrote in 1986, “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.” In a foreseeable future, the cultural views that confine sexuality to a simple gay-straight binary may begin to fall away. But, if we want openly gay athletes to find acceptance in today’s locker rooms, we first have to change our own attitudes about sexuality.

And that begs the million-dollar question: How do we avoid regret? How do make the “right” decision? When one path seems just as worthy as another and the future is fluidly indefinite, how can we ensure we don’t mess things up before our lives truly begin? I have met people with 10-year plans and people who write long pros and cons lists. I

semester more worthwhile at Oktoberfest or in that art history class? Do I charitably volunteer in Uganda or coolly intern at that Silicon Valley start-up? And let’s not forget the two greatest decisions of all: What exactly do I do with my life? Should I “sell out” for the highly paid, management consulting job or soldier on with my secret dream of living in a poorly furnished apartment in the city? And is it actually acceptable to get Sitar for dinner for the fifth time? Some of these difficult questions have more discernible answers than others, but it seems the pressure of choosing correctly in decisions that reverberate through the rest of our lives weighs heavy in college. Parents, faculty and other annoyingly authoritative figures have drummed into us the overwhelming fortune and potential Duke students have to pursue any dream we want. We are at a time in our lives where we’re preparing for adult life, teetering on the cusp of our futures, and, thus, every choice feels imbued with panicky significance. There are choices in friendships and social groups—the people who might one day invite you to dance at their weddings—choices in the internships you take this summer that might bring you closer to that one connection who could revolutionize your career path and, for you seniors, introduce the next great adventure of navigating post-college jobs and graduate school programs. (Please don’t hate me for reminding you of your impending doom). Whatever choices we struggle between, it is both thrilling and frightening to make them and follow the subsequent paths into an unknown future. Choose wrong and it seems absolutely apocalyptic—you might always be crippled with dreams of the salary you could have had or the one that got away. Choose right and your life probably becomes one large Gary Marshall film. Perhaps the reason why making decisions in college is intensely nerve-racking and painstaking is because we are afraid of regrets—regrets that we pushed too forward or held too back.
have met people who close their eyes and let life literally spin on a dime. And after everything, I don’t truly have the answer. But my freshman year, I was fortunate enough to converse with a wildly successful Duke alum who attributed his success to a single philosophy, and I’ve never forgotten it. It turned out to be the best advice I’ve ever received on making life decisions, and I want to share it with you. It doesn’t matter what you decide. It matters who you become. Because the choices we make are ultimately labels. They are names of occupations, names of cities, names of colleges, names of friends, names whose significance will one day fade as we move on in the path of life. What remains is not the choice itself, but the experiences we attain, the skills we gain, the people we become. Rather than asking ourselves what path to choose, perhaps it’s time to ask who we want to be, that shining persona we create when we imagine ourselves at our best. After all, isn’t that what it means to be successful? So forget the labels, forget the decisions. Forget about being a doctor versus a researcher, or Wall Street versus volunteering. Start discovering who you want to be. You might aspire to be someone that leads, inspires and innovates. You might strive to be someone that listens, empathizes, comforts. The question isn’t what you want to be. It’s who. Who do you want to be in 10 years? Think about that person, in all their complexity and liveliness, all the admirable traits and quirks—and pursue them. You may end up as a ski instructor or in med school. You might travel far and wide, or not at all. What does it matter? As long as it brings you one step closer to embodying the best version of yourself, you can’t ever make the wrong decision.

hey do—but it’s probably not the pants. After four years as a studentathlete, my body has been dragged through the mud. My muscles have felt exhausted beyond reason with ice baths as the only cure.

These instances and incidents are to be expected—the path from 18-years-old and
I’d be hard-pressed to find a studentathlete—or any student, male or female, for that matter—whose body did not endure some measure of physical change throughout their experience. For some, college is kind—the “freshman 15” thins you out instead of bloats you, and you can manage to say that you do, in fact, want fries with that. Maybe you develop a smoothedout skin tone, your hair unfrizzes itself and you get muscle tone in the right places. I am unsure of the existence of some these

he Geneva Conventions dictate that chaplains are non-combatants and may not take part in active hostilities. This means that a military chaplain, who serves as clergy in uniform, cannot bear arms and use them when the need dictates, whereas everyone serving with him or her is able to do so. This sets up a sometimes challenging dichotomy for many chaplains, including myself when I served in the U.S. Navy, in that we’re serving a population yet are unable to fully experience one of the more challenging aspects of life in the military—that one might be called upon to take a life in the course of his or her duty.

devoid of muscle tone to 21 and upping your jean size is to be anticipated as a member of a competitive Division I athletic squad. We don’t care, because we’re fit to compete. We’re fit to win. But what happens when you hang up the cleats for the last time? In late November, I was hit with an identity crisis—I was no longer an athlete in competitive sports. I was done. The humid preseason two-a-days were done. The Friday night lights—done. The jump squats, the front squats, the back squats, the J-squats—they weren’t part of my Tuesday or Thursday routine anymore. Suddenly, I had no justification for wearing sweats to class everyday. I had no justification for having a big dinner. I had no justification for being considered thick. I had no justification for the muscles in my thighs and my hips and my back pockets. I suddenly became a 21-year-old female uncomfortable with the body I’d grown into for my entire life. Being a college athlete is a privilege bestowed upon those who are willing to work to maintain that distinction. For both men’s and women’s athletics, enduring a four or five-season athletic career takes hard work, fully dedicated and appropriately motivated work, to purposefully show up to the field or court everyday. To put up with a lot of things you don’t want to, to do a lot of things you don’t want to. To do some things that might hurt you, but all the while recognizing that the pain is temporary. My teammates are strong people, physically and mentally. Stronger than I am, in more ways than one. They are fully capable, fully competent, fully dedicated to the mission that we all signed letters of intent to complete a few years ago. National championship games, rivalry matches, crutching across campus in the rain after injury—these are not small pieces of our lives here. These things are our whole lives. I am confident that every woman in this athletic department cares immeasurably more about winning than how sweatdrenched her grey t-shirt is during practice or how ragged her ponytail looks by the final game whistle. We work as hard as the boys, and I don’t think that’s disputed— just less publicized. We’re out there when no one knows it. We’re working everyday to make things look effortless—but trust us, effortless is hardly the word.
things myself, but apparently, people have these gifts bestowed upon them naturally. For girls like me, after four years of putting weights on your back that weigh more than you, your clothes get tight in all the wrong places and you’re not sure how you ever squeezed into that size two that’s been hanging in your closet since the second semester of your sophomore year. All of the sudden, you’re flipping quickly through old photos, contemplating whether to keep them for motivation or toss them to ensure people have nothing to compare your current figure to. Either way, you’ve changed, and it’s often difficult to juxtapose two ‘you’s. We’ve heard plenty of times that all bodies are not created equal. We know about the photoshopping of glossy magazine pages, but it’s not the muscles we’re worried about. I’m worried about the pieces of fabric standing in as excuses for clothing that are disheartening to the girls whose shoulders are too broad to pull the blouse over—not because we’re fat, but because we’re strong. I’m not an athlete anymore, but I still look like one. Maybe you do too. And it’s time we recognize that there’s nothing wrong with that. As we progress as college students and women and men, we are challenged with the task of adding value to the parts of this University and the parts of this world that we touch. Somewhere in there, we’re meant to add value to ourselves, too, but this is too often a forgotten endeavor when we’re caught up in appeasing the professors and the grades and the job hunt and the Saturday night crowd. This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week at Duke. If you haven’t noticed, Duke is fit. Duke is skinny. Sometimes too much so. Over 60 percent of college females have some form of disordered eating, and 95 percent of all eating disorders occur in people between the ages of 12 to 25. We need to recognize this staggering number and start to shift the conversation from simple conversation to actual action. It might not be you. It could be you. It might have been you once before. Regardless, you are you, and we need to begin to accept that.
Sometimes this leads to challenging conversations, such as one that one of my chaplain school instructors, Chaplain Moreno, related to some of us. He told us of a time when a Marine asked him “Chaps (since everything in the military is shortened when convenient), you’re not carrying a weapon and you can’t fight. Should I feel bad if I have to kill someone?” This being chaplain school and my chaplain class having an unusually large number of people who had served before, we were expecting a deeply insightful and inspirational answer—the kind of thing you would expect to be able to say to an 18-yearold Marine on his first patrol in a hot zone that would give him the courage and confidence to know that, whatever happens, he is doing the right thing! Chaplain Moreno’s answer was, “Yes! Of course you should feel bad about it! You’re taking a human life!” Some people in the group were rocked back on their heel by that answer. We’re talking about Marines, the people at the sharpest end of the stick, and we should tell them that they should feel bad about killing? Of course we should, and we do. Even when it is what has to be done, death is terribly final and one of the few things in this world that is completely out of our power to undo or fix. On one hand, it seems easy for a chaplain to say this, because we can’t fight, we can’t kill. We’re a very long way from Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, who is depicted on the Bayeux tapestry wielding a club in the midst of the Battle of Hastings. It’s easy to look at that as an example of a dark time in history, when religious leaders were sometimes at the forefront of violence, and—though, in the modern era, we have somehow moved past that—doing so would be disingenuous, to say the least. Why this past week? In two very different stories from Kansas and Florida, we see religion and violence tied together, if in mostly non-traditional ways. In Kansas, we saw a bill pass the state House before being defeated in the state Senate—a bill that would have effectively legalized discrimination and segregation against LGBTQ individuals and communities in the name of

“religious freedoms with respect to marriage.” Yet religious freedoms are neither preserved nor protected by depriving people of their basic rights in any capacity, nor is it even remotely appropriate to so brutally attempt to impose religious laws on a civil, secular society. This was an attempt to violently impose a core set of religious beliefs on others, ignoring their human dignity even as it sought to deprive them of their rights as citizens. “Chaps, should I feel bad about trying to create a legal means to discriminate against LGBTQ individuals?” “Yes, of course you should feel bad about it. You’re trying to force
people to become second class citizens in what should be a free society and use the law to oppress them bitterly!” The second story is from a CNN interview with George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of second degree murder and manslaughter charges for shooting Trayvon Martin. In the interview, Zimmerman says that God is the only judge that matters. While I certainly appreciate and, to a certain extent, relate to that sentiment, it’s difficult to accept it for two reasons. First, not even a year ago, he was standing before a very mortal judge and jury awaiting a verdict. Second, I recognize that—while ultimate judgment is indeed God’s province alone—when we live in this world, we are subject to, and must live by, the laws of the places in which we live. “Chaps, should I feel bad that I killed someone even if I was acquitted in a court of law?” “Yes, of course you should. You took a life, and that can’t ever be made right again.” What both these stories have in common is the idea that principles of faith must somehow prevail over and/or become the law of the land. Principles of faith are important, and people should live by the courage of their convictions, but we don’t live in a religiously homogenous environment. There is a statement in Deuteronomy 30:12 which reads “lo ba’shamayim hi”—it is not in heaven. This statement means that, even if one is following religious law, that law has been given to us to live by in this world. Religious principles aren’t and shouldn’t be an overwhelming burden but are intended to be close to our hearts and part of our lives. For those who wish to follow religious principles, they should by all means do so, but not at the expense of others. Claiming that you must oppress or harm others isn’t acting out of faith but bigotry. Resigning yourself to immortal judgment and trying to turn your back on mortal acts isn’t faith, but cowardice. “It is not in heaven,” but here on earth where we all live—together.
