Duke Marine Lab gains first new research space in 50 years by Grace Wang The Chronicle

With the opening of the Orrin H. Pilkey Research Laboratory earlier this month, the Marine Laboratory campus gained its first new research space since the 1970s. The lab includes a variety of facilities and teaching spaces and is named after Orrin Pilkey, James B. Duke professor emeritus of geology. Constructed primarily through $4.5 million from the Oak Foundation—a philanthropic entity that supports global, social and environmental issues—and a $1.5 million contribution from Kathy and

Philip Froelich, the building opened after two years of construction. “There has always been concern that the labs here [at the Marine Lab] are spatially separate from the main campus, that we are out of sight and out of mind,” said Pilkey, who first taught at the Marine Lab in the 1960s. “However, this time, we are still out of sight, but not out of mind.” Bill Chameides, dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment, said the lab provides facilities for molecular biology and genomics research—two new focuses of the Nicholas School—as well as a new teaching space.

The Pilkey Lab also has a number of environmentally sustainable features. “The most significant thing about the building in an environment point of view, given that it is on the coast, is that it has been designed to withstand sea level rise and to withstand flooding—which will happen as a result of hurricanes,” Chameides said. Chameides noted that the building is designed in such a way that all significant equipment and electronics are on the second floor or above in order to prevent damage from hurricanes, which have struck the Marine Lab’s home in Beaufort on several occasions over the

years. The bottom floor is also designed to allow water to flush through with minimal damage. The decision to name the building after Pilkey was led in part by donor Philip Froelich, Trinity ‘68, a former mentee of Pilkey’s. “[Froelich] says that Orrin turned his life around, “Chameides said. “Orrin introduced him to marine chemistry, and [Froelich] is one of the world’s leading scientists now in marine chemistry.” Froelich met Pilkey after struggling with chemistry courses as a student See marine lab, page 8

Planning begins for new building on Science Drive

sYLViE sPEWak/The ChroniCle

The Board of Trustees approved funding for the planning and design of a new building on Science Drive, which will house physics and engineering.

by Rachel Chason The ChroniCle

A new building—to house physics and engineering—was among a spate of construction projects discussed by the Board of Trustees at their meeting earlier this month. The Board approved funding for the planning and design of the long-awaited building, though many details are yet to be determined. Students and faculty alike have long criticized the current Physics Building—which was built in 1948—for aesthetic and practical reasons. The construction of a new building has been under consideration for several years, but it was not until this year that sufficient funds were raised. Although the project is still in the beginning stage of design, plans for the new building include wet and dry research laboratories and more teaching space. Vice President for Facilities John noon-

an said that definitive dates for the construction of the new building have not yet been set. “There will be high quality laboratory space for tabletop experimental program that is important for physics to attract outstanding students into physics and to attract faculty in such areas of research to Duke,” said haiyan Gao, physics department chair and henry newson Professor of physics. The Physics Building is the oldest structure on Science Drive. Plans for a new home for the department have been discussed intermittently for more than 15 years, and multiple feasibility studies have been conducted for possible renovations or construction, The Chronicle previously reported. Gao said that poor quality laboratory space in the current Physics Building “hinders our visibility and progress” in important areas of research. She noted that space

constraints in the existing building have also limited the extent to which introductory physics courses can incorporate interactive learning, but that additional teaching space in the new building will allow the department to make learning more hands-on. “i’m certainly excited about the prospect for a new building,” said Kate Scholberg, director of undergraduate studies for physics. “We could clearly improve teaching and student interaction space, as well as research facilities.” The new building will be home to both the physics and engineering departments, creating a physical link between the two and promoting interdisciplinary learning. “Sharing a building with engineering will boost synergy between physics and engineering further, which will create more education and research opportunities for students and faculty in physics and engineering,” Gao said.

The funds for the construction will come from private donations, the project summary notes. The new space for physics and engineering was one of eight construction or renovation projects discussed at the Trustees’ May meeting. The current renovations to the West Duke Building and the upcoming work on Wallace Wade Stadium were discussed, along with plans for a 2015 renovation of edens Quadrangle dormitories and construction of a new parking garage at the corner of Cameron Boulevard and Science Drive set to be finished in 2016.

Dean of Sanford lends expertise to ﬁlm on nation’s food industry Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy, is featured in “Fed Up”—a recent documentary coproduced by broadcast journalist Katie Couric that addresses the nation’s obesity epidemic. The film examines the effect of added sugar in the American diet has had on children, with Brownell noting that schools have become dependent on the junk food industry for money, making “a bargain with the devil.” Brownell, who specializes in food and health policy, came to Duke this past year after 22 years at Yale University. He spoke with The Chronicle’s Rachel Chason about his involvement with the film and his first year at the University. The Chronicle: Can you talk a little bit about your involvement in the film Fed Up? Kelly Brownell: The film’s producer laurie David—who had previously produced Al Gore’s An inconvenient Truth—got in touch with me and mentioned that she was doing the film in conjunction with Katie Couric. She asked me to do an interview for the film, as i have done for a number of other similar projects. TC: What do you think was the biggest takeaway from the movie? KB: Americans live in a food environment where it is very difficult to make healthy choices, and this is especially true of people who live in poverty. The consumer environment needs to be improved. My work has centered on how to improve that food environment in places like schools, but also in society at large.

Blue Devils fall to Tigers in ACC Championship by Nick Martin The ChroniCle

in a season that has been such a diversion from past years, Duke’s opening round ACC tournament game was more of the same for the Blue Devils—great pitching, poor hitting. After a promising start, the Blue Devils fell to Clemson 5-3 Wednesday in their opening game of pool play in the ACC Championship at CLEM 5 newBridge Bank DUKE 3 Park in Greensboro, n.C. The contest was Duke’s first appearance in the tournament in five years and featured a pitching duel between the two teams’ aces. on the mound for the Blue Devils (32-24) Wednesday was sophomore Michael Matuella. The Great Falls, Va., native was dominant early but allowed the Tigers (35-22) to claw their way back into the game—much like the team as a whole. Ultimately, he allowed three runs on eight hits through 6.2 innings of work. “Michael Matuella pitched a tremendous ballgame for us,” head coach Chris Pollard said. “[he] certainly gave us a good enough start to win the ballgame. nick hendrix did his job coming out of the pen. ryan Deitrich had good at-bats. The difference in the ballgame was the fact that up until Chris Marconcini hit the ground ball to first base with one out in the ninth, we didn’t make an infielder make a play all day.” Through the first three innings, Matuella gassed Clemson with his fastball that clocks in the high 90s as he struck out four of the first nine batters he faced and kept the Tigers from scoring prior to the fourth inning. But he was

Sophomore Michael Matuella’s 6.2 innings of solid work on the mound could not bring the Blue Devils a victory due to their offensive struggles.

not the only stud toeing the rubber Wednesday. Clemson southpaw Matthew Crownover was exceptional, holding the Blue Devils to two runs on five hits in 7.2 innings of work and striking out nine batters in the process. “i thought he pitched great, and he’s a tremendous competitor,” Pollard said. “And he was able to run the two-seam away from us at times. But we’ve got to do a better job of hitting with our top hand and doing whatever we need to do. Sometimes it’s a willingness when

you get in the batter’s box and say, ‘look, i’m going to force myself to get on top of the baseball and hit a ground ball.’” Duke was able to rattle Crownover in the opening innings and get out to an early lead. in the second inning, Chris Marconcini hit a harmless popup into foul territory with two outs, but the ball was dropped by Tiger third baseman Tyler Slaton, allowing Marconcini to reach first on error and sending ryan Deitrich to the plate for the Blue Devils. Slaton’s

mistake would prove to be costly for Clemson, as Deitrich sent Crownover’s pitch just over the outstretched glove of center fielder Tom Bourdon for a two-run homerun to give the Blue Devils the 2-0 advantage. But that was all the crowd would see from the Duke offense for another six innings. After picking up a run in the fourth to cut the Duke lead in half, the Tigers took the lead in the top of the fifth when catcher Chris okey and third baseman Weston Wilson hit back-toback singles to put runners on first and second with one out. Following a Slaton strikeout via Matuella, designated hitter Tyler Krieger roped a line drive into the right field corner, scoring both okey and Wilson and putting Clemson ahead 3-2, a lead it would not relinquish for the rest of the day. “They started sitting on the fastball,” Matuella said. “My fastball starting getting elevated a little bit. When that starts to happen, two-seamer doesn’t move as much and they put a lot of good swings on the ball today. i just have to do a better job of getting the ball down.” The Tigers would cushion their lead in the top of the ninth, advancing runners on first and second to second and third thanks to a well-placed bunt laid by center fielder Tyler Slaton. Andrew istler—who took over for hendrix following the eighth inning—intentionally walked Krieger to have the force out at any bag. The Blue Devils nearly got what they wanted when Clemson’s Steven Druggar hit a sharp ground ball to second, but the ball bounced past the outstretched glove of Andy See baseball, page 5

Goldfeld, Capra advance in NCAA tournament by Staff Reports The ChroniCle

As the classic Meat loaf song goes, “Two outta three ain’t bad.” especially when it comes to the nCAA Championships. ester Goldfeld and Beatrice Capra extened their seasons Wednesday as both picked up victories in the first round of the nCAA Singles Championship at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga., while senior hanna Mar fell to her opening round opponent after two hardfought sets. The tournament comes on the heels of the nCAA Team Championships, in which Duke lost in the quarterfinals to the eventual champion UClA. Both victorious Blue Devils won in straight sets, as no. 27 Goldfeld stormed to a commanding 6-3, 6-1 victory against no. 30 Denise Star of California. Goldfeld (33-9) and Star were locked in battle, tied at two apiece, when she rattled off four straight games to take the set. Goldfeld repeated the feat

when, leading 2-1, she finished Star off by taking four games in a row once more to clinch the match. The victory was the 33rd of her season, making her the first player in the program since 2009 to accrue as many wins in a single season. Duke’s second win of the tournament came from Capra (28-9). The sophomore—ranked seventh in the nation—has been lights out for the Blue Devils all season and nothing changed Wednesday. The ellicot City, Md. native strolled to a 6-2, 6-0 victory against Pepperdine’s no. 26 lorraine Guillermo. Capra did not yield the lead throughout the match, scoring seven unanswered points to claim victory and advance to the second round. The win was a bounceback victory for Capra, who lost her last matchup against the Bruins in straight sets to no. 2 robin Anderson, Unfortunately for Duke, not all Blue Devils in competition were able to fare as well and conclude their day victorious.

no. 36 Mar was forced to face no. 19 Zoë Scandalis of Southrern California in her opening round matchup and fell 4-6, 2-6 to bring her singles career at Duke to an end. Although the score may not directly indicate it, Mar had Scandalis on the ropes several times, putting the San Diego native in a 3-1 hole to begin the first set. But Scandalis answered with three consecutive game wins to capture a lead she would not surrender for the remainder of the match. Mar started the second set strong, locking with the Trojan sophomore in a 1-1 tie before falling behind 1-3. The closest she could close the gap to was 2-3 before she eventually succombed to defeat, as Sandalis went on another threegame win streak to close the set and the match at 2-6. Mar concludes her singles career as a Blue Devil with 100 total victories, becoming just the 23rd Duke player in See w. tennis, page 5

With a current rPi of 78, the Blue Devils’ loss against Clemson was a step backward in their journey to reach omaha.

Last year, 2,400 Duke students ventured to 75 nations across six continents to engage in service work. But amid the excitement for what summer holds in store, we take a moment to reflect on the value of the three-month hiatus and the opportunities it offers. For most students, the 16-week break is anything but a break. The temporary cessation of essays and exams marks the start of demanding internships that begin before the sun rises and end long after it sets. Why the grueling, self-inflicted regiments? In today’s world, simply graduating with a degree, even from a top university, is

not always enough to vie in the competitive job market. Work experience has become in many fields an unofficial graduation requirement for those seeking to enter the workforce after four years. Translated in the minds of ambitious Duke undergraduates, these expectations give rise to the mentality that summers are a time to get ahead—or rather, to stay apace. Far from a time to relax and recuperate, the three-month breaks should be spent bolstering the “work experience” subheading of already-packed resumes, networking and garnering stories for interviews down the road. But summers need not be solely devoted to laborious preparations for the future. Amid the intense internships, research in labs or in the field and preparations for graduate school exams, summer is also a time for exploration. It is a time to, perhaps, read a book, take a road trip to someplace you’ve always wanted to visit, learn to cook a family recipe, or simply sit and enjoy the sun. For those just beginning their college careers, it is a time to reflect on what the next few years will look like and what the ideal undergraduate experience would be. For those entering their last

onlinecomment Is this honestly a joke? I feel like half my Duke experience was taken away by all this construction. Is the renovation so urgent that the current classes be deprived of the campus that future classes will enjoy?

Abroad in Alicante

ow that we’re a few weeks into summer, the typical cache of “Look, I’m abroad!” photos have begun to circulate across various forms of social media. While I may have found this annoying last year, now I can’t help but relish in it—probably because I’m now a part of it. Six days ago, I packed my bags and took off for my own adventure abroad through Duke’s Intensive Spanish in Alicante program. Since I’m not going abroad in the Fall, I felt compelled to spend my summer doing all the abroad-y things that my peers will be doing during the coming semester while I’m in Duke

it was going to be a rough month and a half. In essence, this had the possibility of being an extremely lonely, isolating and linguistically stressful experience. I did, however, finally consider these and a million other worries and logistical concerns right about the time I boarded my flight to Alicante. I like to consider myself a relatively paranoid individual—I am constantly aware of the multitude of different ways my life could physically and metaphorically spiral downwards into destruction and desolation. It’s a gift, really. At school, there’s a certain level of monotony that naturally

in Durham. Plus, I have zero foreign language credits so I figured I should probably get started on that. Located right along the Mediterranean, Alicante is a relatively small city in southeast Spain where young locals and American college students run rampant. In other words, six weeks of sun, fun and general debauchery (plus a grueling course load). To be honest, I didn’t approach the trip with much foresight, which seems to be a common motif in my life, but that’s a topic for another column. I assumed I would partake in the common American-college-student-abroad clichés: learn a new language, take advantage of the lower legal drinking age and radically transform the quality of my profile picture. Other than that, I largely shelved the concept back in January when I found out I had been accepted into the program and never really revisited it. And so, consequently, despite my generic excitement to be in Europe, I had not at all contemplated what to expect when I arrived. It didn’t register that unlike a lot of popular tourist places, most people in Alicante don’t speak English and rely solely on Spanish. Coincidently, I don’t speak any Spanish and have long considered myself bilingually challenged, much to the shame of my Mexican ethnicity. I didn’t consider that I would be living not with my peers but with a random host family whom I had never met before and who would also inevitably speak only Spanish. Nor did I really think about the fact that I only knew two people in my program, so if I ended up hating everyone,

accompanies each day and so these fears are largely subdued and masked by the comfort of normalcy. But by going abroad, that sense of security is shattered. Everything is new and exciting and different. Other than four hours of class in the morning, I don’t know what I’m going to do tonight or tomorrow or what my options even are. I think most people go abroad to capture that sense of adventure, to experience something new, because as amazing as home may be, there is still that unrelenting inkling for something more. Abroad allows for an extended escape when, for whatever reason, life as we know it just isn’t cutting it. Update: it has been six days and I’m happy to report that I am still alive. I haven’t been mugged, pick pocketed or kidnapped like that chick from “Taken. “ My life choices have been relatively solid and I am not completely useless in terms of my Spanish speaking abilities. I have even made friends. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got here, but even if I had tried to imagine it I don’t think I would have been able to do the experience justice. I’m not going to go off on a rant about how abroad is going to completely change my life and dramatically transform me as a human being (I know it won’t), but I am so incredibly excited for the unexpected and thrilling adventures it will bring. Here’s to the next five and a half weeks. Michelle Menchaca is the Editorial Pages Managing Editor and a Trinity junior. This is her first column in a biweekly series during the summer.

No offense

ticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. This childhood response to name-calling is not entirely true. We are all sensing creatures, affected physically and emotionally by others. We are vulnerable. Sometimes, though, we just need to get over it. I vividly recall the days when my three siblings and I were in elementary school. With just a year between each of us, we partook in the typical childhood fighting, including name-calling. I also vividly recall my mom’s response. After telling the name-caller that we don’t call people

this because putting others first does not mean silencing my beliefs and lifestyle. Hypersensitivity to words and phrases is harmful to constructive debates. When groups try to slowly remove phrases from language, ideas are lost. Why can we not just take these phrases at face value? “Man up” means that I think it is the man’s job to take control in emotional situations. Maybe you disagree. That is fine. We do not have to agree, but we do not have to take offense at each other’s beliefs or the expression of these beliefs either. This leads to my second point, which is respect. Respect, to me, is listening to another person and

Why am i not at the beach?

hen I think of summer, I think of sandy hair, shaved ice, tan lines and home. I don’t think of test tubes or hours spent in the lab. I definitely don’t think of lecture halls or textbooks. But I’ve recently come to terms with the fact that summer will no longer be the carefree vacation that it was in the past—not, apparently, if I want to do something with my life. Since I arrived at Duke, I’ve been surrounded by the most motivated, accomplished and ridiculously intelligent group of people I’ve ever

retarded, stupid or idiot, she turned to the “victim.” “Are you retarded?” she would ask. “Then why does it matter what someone calls you?” Sometimes, we just need to get over it. Frankly, I believe that people today are offended way too easily. The “You Don’t Say” campaign encourages oversensitivity to simple words. Man up. No homo. Tranny. Yes, the phrase man up finds its origins in gender norms. I believe in gender norms. So yes, I am saying that men have an inherent strength— stoicism—that women do not naturally possess. I am not saying men never cry, I am not saying that women never remove emotions from the equation. I am saying that men and women tend to differ, having different strengths and weaknesses. Yes, the phrase “no homo” implies that showing affection for someone of the same sex is inherently bad. I believe that homosexuality is wrong. So yes, if I say “no homo,” it is because I do not want people to mistake me for a homosexual. I am not saying that homosexuals are not kind and talented people. They are absolutely friendly and gifted individuals, but everyone makes mistakes—in my opinion, homosexual acts are mistakes. Yes, the word tranny implies that a person does not fit the traditional labels. I believe that a person is the gender that matches his sex. So yes, to me, tranny means that the person is unable to correctly identify his sex, an act that I will not condone because I find it to be immoral. Still, however, I will treat these people as I treat my friends. How do I treat my friends? I attempt to do so with love and respect. Love is putting the other person first. One might ask why I cannot take this language out of my speech if it helps a friend. I cannot do

considering what they have to say. I have read and researched the “You Don’t Say” campaign. I have spoken to people about their thoughts on the subject. I think I have an understanding of what the campaign is aiming to communicate—that it is a bad idea to use this language because it harms a group of people. Now, I am asking that people hear what I have to say. I do not want to intentionally hurt these groups, but I do not want the expression of my beliefs to be slowly stripped from me. After time, hypersensitivity erects barriers in communicating certain ideas because the words to do so are publically unacceptable. It also discourages the expression of diverse opinions, because people fear hurting someone’s feelings. Instead, we should openly state our viewpoints, as I just did with the words “man up,” “no homo” and “tranny.” What one says in such debates may be insulting, but that is a part of healthy dialogue. My opinions will undoubtedly displease some group, but hypersensitivity makes it difficult to confront reality and to be real with each other— two capabilities necessary to respect. I do not aim to offend anyone by using these words, but living in harmony with so many dissonant beliefs requires the ability to use words in whatever way one thinks necessary. A person may argue, though, that these words are offensive only when someone is being purposefully derogatory by using the words, rather than simply using them to state opinions. Sometimes, these words are used in order to deliberately hurt a certain group of people. To this, I have just one piece of advice: Man up.

met. Duke students are on their ways to big places and big things, and they’re doing everything they can to get there. For many, that means there is no time to “waste” three months on activities that cannot be documented on a resume. There is constant pressure to do something productive. A job, an internship, extra classes–anything but relax. As a hopeful future doctor, I’ve been told to plan and record my undergraduate track on a website called AdviseStream. For those of you unfamiliar with AdviseStream, it helps pre-med students categorize their lives into “research,” “knowledge of medicine,” “leadership,” “service to others,” “diversity” and “life experience.” It shows the progress in these categories each Fall, Spring and Summer. Not only does the AdviseStream planner not so subtly hint that I probably shouldn’t sit on my butt all summer (or else there will be a glaring empty column indicating exactly when I was an useless individual with no relevant life experiences), it also reduces my undergraduate career to a mere assortment of colored bars pointing toward one thing—medical school. My Google search history is filled with questions catering to what medical schools want. What should my GPA be? Where should I volunteer? It’s like that “tree falls in the forest” scenario—if a pre-med student has an experience and they can’t incorporate it into their med school application, did it really happen? But life has always sort of been, and will probably continue to be, like that. It can be a good thing, because I doubt I would have discovered my interests if I had just lain in bed binge-watching TV shows. Thanks to the motivation of requirements, I’ve gotten involved with activities that I thought would look good on paper and ended up becoming sincerely passionate about them. And most of the things I am interested in are ones that I “should” be doing anyways because, after all, my career goals are a result of my interests. It makes sense, too. It is impossible to assess someone’s aptitude in their future career unless their past experiences reflect it. You could be the most technically talented and creative programmer out there, but it doesn’t mean a thing when you’re compared to programmers who have actually held software development positions or created unique apps. Expecting an employer or admissions officer to believe your words without legitimate qualifications is basically the equivalent of being that insufferable person who claims “I’m smart, but I just don’t try” to explain their shitty grades. So we try to prove ourselves by going above and beyond what’s expected of us. Unfortunately, so many people have caught on to this that now, going above and beyond is what’s expected. Because of this, selection processes often come down to miniscule differences between equally qualified people. A particularly memorable day of volunteering or a personal tragedy that shifted your perspective on life can make you stand out from the crowd, depending on how you portray it. Naturally, this causes people to wildly misrepresent mundane aspects of their lives. Going abroad? An invaluable social experience where I immersed myself in new customs, went outside my comfort zone and ultimately became more appreciative of diverse cultural backgrounds. (Took full advantage of the lowered drinking age) Boring desk job? Tackled administrative problems with highly developed organizational skills and logical thinking. Contributed to a team environment demonstrating strong communication skills. Proficient in Microsoft Office programs.(Sent multiple texts saying “Ughh save meee,” then scrolled through Facebook for the majority of the shift) Striving to be the best often makes us view our own experiences through the lens of what others—like employers and admissions officers—want from us. But I don’t want to take positions that I’m not invested in just to put them on my resume. I don’t want to force my experiences to fit the mold of the position I’m applying for. I don’t want to stress that I can always be doing more productive things, though I’m constantly reminded of it in an environment of extremely successful people. I want to do things out of personal interest, and this summer, I am. I hope that your summer is more meaningful than a bullet point on your resume. Pallavi Shankar is a Trinity sophomore.

he said. Pilkey said the construction of the new lab demonstrates strong support and allocation of resources toward the Marine Lab from Duke’s main campus, noting that he feels the future of the Marine Lab has never been more promising. “Nothing makes me more proud than this,” Pilkey said. Pilkey has been a frequent guest

lecturer at the Marine Lab campus since his retirement in 2001, though he joked that the allure of the new facility might make it so popular that he could have to “beg to be invited back into my own building.” “It is beyond description how I feel about having the laboratory named after me. It is a great honor,” Pilkey said. “The Marine Lab has been an important part of my life for more than 40 years.”

Brownell from page 3 at Sanford are working on a variety of the world’s largest problems and devoting their time to changing the world. It’s hard not to be energized by that. TC: What do you think were some of your biggest successes? KB: The largest success of the year was probably the completion of the strategic vision. Faculty, students and staff have helped lay out an overall vision for the school and have focused on some exciting new initiatives for the future. TC: What are some challenges you faced? KB: The largest challenge would be not having enough hours in the day. There simply isn’t enough time to meet all the alumni and people around the University that I would have liked to. I’m actually in San Francisco now, meeting with a variety of Duke alumni, who are an interesting, devoted group of people that share very interesting ideas about things we might do in the future.
