Kenan-Biddle Kristiansen details ESPN’s evolution partnership nets 91 apps from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE
A new collaborative effort providing funding to students at Duke and UNC received more than 91 applications, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta confirmed in an e-mail yesterday. The Kenan-Biddle Partnership is a $150,000 initiative that will distribute up to $50,000 annually over three years to projects at Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that encourage interaction between the two campuses. Grants will be distributed in grants of about $5,000. The initiative’s deadline was extended to Nov. 22 after no applications had been submitted as the original Nov. 15 deadline approached and several students requested extensions. “It’s huge, especially given that the mission of this grant, which is to create cross-university partnerships,” said Duke Student Government President Mike Lefevre, a senior who will serve on the committee that will select which proposals to fund. “There are a lot of grant partnerships at Duke and UNC separately, but this is the first entrepreneurial initiative that actually challenges applicants to deal See kenan-biddle on page 7

Larry Kristiansen, ESPN’s vice president of event production, spoke as the keynote speaker at “Business in the Wide World of Sports,” at the Fuqua School of Business Monday. He discussed the rise of ESPN in sports media, dating back to its founding in 1979. by Alex Zempolich THE CHRONICLE
Risk and innovation, underscored by a devotion to supportive teamwork—these are ESPN’s keys to success, noted one of its chief executives. Speaking at the Fuqua School of Business Monday night, Larry Kristiansen, ESPN’s vice president of event production, discussed the evolution of the sports me-
dia giant since its creation in 1979. Ever since the network acquired NFL television rights in the early 1990s, Kristiansen said, it has continued to diversify and innovate on a large scale. “The yellow projection of the firstand-10 line in football... the K-Zone visual in baseball, all of these were projects we invested in earlier.... Now we have ESPN3.com and ESPN 3D,” he said. “But
we don’t want to rest on our laurels. We started out in trailers, and now we have to take shuttles around. We are constantly changing.” As the keynote speaker at “Business in the Wide World of Sports,” Kristiansen continually stressed the importance of risk-taking in business, even summoning See kristiansen on page 7
Q&A with Brian Hare

Brian Hare is the director of the Duke Canine Cognition Center, which studies dogs to better understand their cognitive abilities.
Problems with ePrint frustrate students, Page 3
Brian Hare, an assistant professor of evolutionary anthropology, is the director of the Duke Canine Cognition Center, which tests dogs brought in voluntarily by their owners in order to understand more about the cognitive abilities of dogs. The Chronicle’s Maggie Spini spoke with Hare about the center, which has been open since last Fall and hopes to come up with ways to train dogs to become even better at helping people. The Chronicle: What are your long-term hopes for the Duke Canine Cognition Center? Brian Hare: What we’d really, really love to see is some of the things that we learn here at the Duke Canine Cognition Center be applicable to real-world problems. Either helping people teach dogs to be better at finding bombs, or to be better companion animals to, say, children with autism or helping people with disabilities. The medical community is also getting more and more excited about using dogs in different ways to help people. There’s a huge supply problem—there are not many dogs available, and it’s very labor-intensive to train these dogs to help people. So, if we could understand dog psychology, we might make the whole process easier and there would be more dogs that are better at helping people. TC: Can you tell me more about what you were studying around the time the center opened?
BH: We were studying trust. For example, how is it that dogs form a trusting bond with a new person? It’s very interesting to know how social creatures form bonds with one another because that’s a very important thing that social animals do. A lot of developmental disorders in people may be related to problems in forming bonds with people. From a scientific perspective, dogs are a really interesting model of social bonding. Specifically, social bonding is important with dogs because if you’re a dog, one of the big challenges you have, particularly if you’re a shelter dog or a working dog, is having to learn to trust new people, because you’re going to have a new handler or a new owner.... Further, if they form a trusting relationship with a stranger, does that trust generalize to lots of contexts, or is it when they form a trusting relationship in one context, is it only in that context that they trust someone? TC: Have you started any new tests on the dogs since the opening? BH: We’re also very interested in how dogs navigate.... There hasn’t been much research on how dogs navigate.... What are the predictable errors that dogs

The seizures, announced on the “Cyber Monday” online shopping day, targeted sites selling an array of products, including fake Coach purses, counterfeit sports equipment and a Disney DVD set with Minnie Mouse’s name misspelled. The investigation, coordinated by an ICE-led intellectual property rights center in suburban Crystal City, Va., is the latest step in a crackdown on trafficking in counterfeit goods.That response has been controversial among some who make their living via the Web.

SEOUL, S. Korea—With its brazen daytime artillery barrage of a civilian-inhabited island, North Korea’s reclusive leaders may have achieved something that had previously eluded South Korea’s president, Lee Myung-bak: uniting the South Korean public around a more aggressive policy toward the North. Lee took office in 2008 vowing to end the decade-long “sunshine policy” of his two predecessors, which increased political and economic ties with North Korea as a way of reducing military tension on the Korean Peninsula.But Lee found the Korean public deeply divided, with little appetite among many for a return to a more confrontational approach.

Group reviews six eateries on West, Central
ePrint system suffers from malfunctions
Parrot squawk
by Yeshwanth Kandimalla
by Matt Barnett
THE CHRONICLE
Receiving an error message instead of a printout has annoyed more than a few ePrint users. The program, which printed nearly 30 million pages for members of the Duke community between July 2009 and July 2010, is noted for its convenience, but malfunctions frustrate some users that have come to rely on the service. “It is pretty annoying when you really need to print and it doesn’t work,” said freshman Hannah Ward. Despite these problems, Duke’s Office of Information Technology, which monitors the entire ePrint system, insists that these problems are inevitable given the large printing demand. Since its inception in 2003, the system has grown to include 145 printers, said Steve O’Donnell, senior communications strategist at OIT. “At any given time, there are going to be a few printers off line,” said Carl McMillon, director of computer operations at OIT. “That’s the nature of maintaining such a distributed system in an environment where the customers are printing around the clock.”

Members of Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee met to present end-of-semester vendor evaluations for several campus dining venues Monday evening. DUSDAC reviewed feedback as well as recent and upcoming changes for The Perk, Bella Union, Devil’s Bistro, Joe Van Gogh and Armadillo Grill. Each member of DUSDAC serves as a representative to the committee for at least one on-campus eatery. Recent changes to The Perk include the return of soy milk to the coffee bar, seasonal cakes and cookies and a new layout that promotes the flow of the line and enables employees to see when the coffee dispensers need to be refilled. The Perk is an offshoot of the popular Saladelia Cafe, and many diners are not aware that all of the food at The Perk is organic and completely homemade—even the hummus is made from scratch.

THE Washington Post
This time, the New York Times didn’t get the goods from WikiLeaks. Instead, on Sunday, the newspaper began reporting a bombshell - the contents of thousands of private State Department cables - as a result of a leak of a leak. The Times was the only American news organization to receive a massive cache of government documents that were released by WikiLeaks, the “stateless” Internet organization that specializes in exposing government secrets through leaked information. But the Times wasn’t on WikiLeaks’ list of original recipients. The newspaper got its hands on the collection of about 250,000 cables thanks to the Guardian newspaper in Britain, which quietly passed the Times the raw material that it had received as one of five news organizations favored by WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks had worked with the Times this summer in releasing about 90,000 documents prepared by U.S. military sources about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the group pointedly snubbed the Times this time around, offering the State Department cables to two other American news outlets, CNN and the Wall Street Journal. Both turned WikiLeaks down, deciding that its terms - including a demand for financial compensation under certain circumstances - were unacceptable.

The burrito so good, putting it down is dangerous.
Bill Keller, the Times’ editor, wasn’t certain why WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, chose not to work with his newspaper on the latest leaks. But he suggested it might be related to a hardhitting profile of Assange that the Times published in October. The story, which described Assange as “a hunted man,” said that “some of his own comrades are abandoning him for what they see as erratic and imperious behavior.” The Times was also tough on Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private who is suspected of stealing the classified military and State Department documents and passing them to WikiLeaks. In August, the newspaper reported Manning’s relationship with “a self-described drag queen” and said that as a teen-ager “classmates made fun of him for being a geek . . . [and] for being gay.” Keller described the Guardian’s releaking of the documents to the Times as an act of both friendship and journalistic necessity. The two newspapers, along with the German newsweekly Der Spiegel, were the original recipients of the Afghan and Iraq war logs, and all the news organizations “had an understanding that we would be colleagues throughout this whole series of data drops.” The Guardian initially requested that the Times keep the source of the material secret - apparently to remain in Assange’s good graces - but the request was lifted Sunday evening as the stories began to break. “Clearly, there was a bumpy relationship between the Times and WikiLeaks,” said a person at the Guardian, who asked not to be named because he wasn’t authorized to speak for the newspaper. “Mr. Assange made his views clear [about the Times]. But I don’t think it was terminal; it was just a bad patch.” At the same time, the Times offered “expertise and perspective” on American diplomacy for the British newspaper, Keller said. The Times also vetted the most sensitive material with the U.S. State Department and redacted information that might have compromised the security of American personnel. The Times agreed to coordinate the release of its stories about the cables with the Guardian and three other news organizations that received WikiLeaks’ blessing: the French newspaper Le Monde, the Spanish paper El Pais and
Der Spiegel. The release was moved up a few hours on Sunday when early copies of Der Spiegel were spotted by a man in Switzerland, who began tweeting its revelations. WikiLeaks asked CNN and the Wall Street Journal to sign confidentiality agreements that would have entitled WikiLeaks to a payment of around $100,000 if the partner broke the embargo, according to people briefed on the agreement who asked not to be named because they weren’t authorized to disclose the information publicly. The agreement also stipulated that WikiLeaks could enforce the terms of the agreement in a court of WikiLeaks’ choosing. A spokeswoman for the Journal, Ashley Huston, said her newspaper turned down WikiLeaks because “we didn’t want to agree to a set of preconditions . . . without even being given a broad understanding of what these documents contained.” A spokesman for CNN declined to comment on specifics of what the network deemed unacceptable. The Guardian source said CNN and the Journal would have gained access to the WikiLeaks material only after the other news organizations had enjoyed a period of exclusivity, in effect making the two American news outlets junior partners in the international news-media coalition. The Times’ Keller said his newspaper never signed agreements with WikiLeaks when it first worked with the organization. The Washington Post wasn’t offered access to the State Department cables, said Marcus Brauchli, the newspaper’s top editor. Brauchli said The Post contacted the Guardian to explore a cooperative arrangement, “but they declined to share [documents] with us.” Representatives for the Guardian could not be reached for comment. Assange, in an interview with Forbes magazine in July, was critical of a Post profile in May that compared WikiLeaks to “Baghdad Bob,” Saddam Hussein’s former information minister. People note that Assange also had criticized The Post for supposedly suppressing leaked video footage of a U.S. military helicopter attack on civilians in Iraq. But the newspaper never had the footage.

eprint from page 3 the status of 52 OIT-maintained printers that are publicly available on the system. Those printing stations are polled every five minutes, according to the website. At around 8 p.m. Monday, seven of the printers listed on the site were deemed “inoperable,” including a printer in the Perkins Library lobby and a printer in the Link. Another 23 printers were marked as “running low on paper or [having] other non-critical issues.” The 93 other printers not listed on the OIT website are assigned to specific departments. Each department commissions OIT to provide the printers and support for the ePrint system, but the status of those printers are not listed on the website because those devices are not publicly accessible. Even though OIT publishes information about inoperable printers, some students have indicated that ePrint’s technical problems outweigh its convenience. “I’ve had problems with the software itself,” said freshman Anand Kornepati. “I think it’s better to have your own printer.” O’Donnell noted that OIT has received an average of five help requests per week during this semester, an amount he called “typical” when students are on campus. Ben Clark, manager of computer operations at OIT, said most issues are detected through routine system monitoring and fixed before users submit requests. With individual printer outages, OIT will respond in one to four hours or as long as a day, “depending on the nature of the problem,” Clark added. “A low-priority issue, such as one printer in a bank of printers being out of paper or toner, may take us 24 hours to address,” Clark said, adding that staff respond to higher priority issues in a more timely manner. Although OIT staff maintain many printers on campus, most printers located within the library system are serviced by Duke Libraries staff. Students printing in the libraries may need to direct their concerns to the circulation desk, Clark said. Up until “complete mechanical failure” of the printer, Duke Libraries is responsible for fixing the problems with nearly all ePrint stations in the libraries, said George Ward, an information technology analyst for Duke Libraries. OIT also replaces a large portion of the public access printers every year based on a planned refresh cycle, O’Donnell said. But as the University has been forced to make cuts, the replacement now takes place every four years as opposed to every three years, O’Donnell added. Duke Administrative Reform Team cuts, which targeted inefficiencies in an effort to reduce expenses in the University’s operating budget, began in 2009.

The Office of Information Technology responded to students’ concerns over malfunctioning printers around campus. OIT says the sheer size of the system, which incldues more than 145 printers, makes occasional errors impossible to mitigate. Most errors are recognized and fixed immediately through routine screening. A growing system Despite complaints about ePrint, McMillon pointed out that more departments are converting their printers to the ePrint system. Implementation of ePrint in different parts of the University has been studentdriven, Ward said. “Students got to be familiar with it and wanted it—we got requests from more departments,” he said. Some programs have opted out, however. The Fuqua School of Business, for example, has not joined the ePrint system. “We just haven’t had the paper usage,” said Kevin Smith, director of technical support at Fuqua, adding that the startup cost—about $1,500 per ePrint-enabled printer—discouraged the school from implementing the system. Smith noted, however, that potential technical problems were not a deterrent to implementing ePrint at Fuqua. Should paper usage increase at the school, Smith said “we would definitely look at ePrint.” “An enterprise printing solution” The printing system was originally implemented as a pilot program in 2003. Prior to that, Duke Libraries and OIT made free printing available in the computer labs and libraries, McMillon said. Although ePrint has been touted for its convenience, a major reason it was initially implemented was actually to reduce the quantity of paper used in printing, said
Molly Tamarkin, associate librarian for information technology at Duke Libraries. “As an enterprise printing solution, we thought that ePrint could reduce the rate of increase in printing,” Tamarkin said. Implementing ePrint allows the creation of a quota system that would encourage students to print as needed and discourage waste, she added. Similar printing programs have been installed at peer institutions, such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. UNC has used this sort of technology
since 1995, said Mike Freeman, director of auxiliary services at UNC. UNC students also encounter similar printer malfunctions as those witnessed at Duke. “Auxiliary Services is very prompt about fixing broken printers, but the printers seem to break all the time,” said UNC sophomore Callie Bost. Still, ePrint users at Duke admit that ePrint as a whole is very convenient. “ePrint does a lot of good things,” said junior Esther Showalter. “Usually you can fix the printer problems yourself.”

menu for the Spring. One of the main problems identified by DUSDAC was that because employees cannot adjust temperature settings, doors and windows are often propped open, which can let in insects. Brittany Brady, a sophomore representative for DUSDAC, presented the end-of-semester vendor evaluation for Joe Van Gogh. According to Brady, sales have been robust this semester despite the fact that the venue is restricted by its limited space. Although the coffee and pastry shop has contacted the University about expanding is presence on campus, there has been no definitive response. The venue is also considering adding bubble tea, donuts and crepes to its menu. The Devil’s Bistro was also evaluated. The Central Campus eatery, which opened in April, is still seeking to establish its niche on campus. The bistro is seeking to create more of a dine-in environment, as opposed to the current situation, in which many students order their meals to go. To encourage this, the venue plans to host cooking demonstrations next semester, as well as concert events and more student events, such as Pi Kappa Phi fraternity’s “Trivial Wings.” Sophomore Ari Ruffer, DUSDAC representative for Armadillo Grill, criticized the vegetarian offerings at the popular Bryan Center eatery. When nutritious and flavorful vegetarian offerings are limited to begin with, “charging for tomatoes is silly,” Ruffer said. He noted, however, that the venue is limited in terms of menu changes because it is a chain. Like the Devil’s Bistro, Armadillo Grill is seeking to expand its entertainment offerings and may soon begin hosting spoken word events. Although DUSDAC commended Plate & Pitchfork’s vegan and vegetarian meals, high food quality and variety, there was some criticism of the inexperienced and sometimes unprofessional student wait staff. DUSDAC members were also split over portion sizes for the eatery’s desserts. Some members supported the large portions currently served because they encourage sharing, while others suggested that a decrease in portion size would be accompanied by a decrease in price. “The portions are mammoth,” said Franca Alphin, director of nutrition services at Student Health. “Most people can’t eat one dessert.”

BH: Even though people have been studying animal psychology for over 100 years, we still know almost nothing about dog psychology because dogs were not seen as being a useful model for behavioral studies. Actually, I think that’s the exciting thing—people are getting excited about learning about dogs, and we’re going to learn a lot about them. TC: About how many dogs have participated in the study? BH: We have over 1,000 people signed up to volunteer their dogs in the local area. Many of them are in the Duke community—we’re very thankful because these people are volunteering their time. So far, I think we’re approaching something like 500 or 600 dogs. TC: You have said previously that you thought your biggest challenge would be dealing with dogs’ anxious owners. Has that, in fact, been a problem? BH: [Laughs] Well, it is true that people become very emotionally involved in their dog’s performance. People have been wonderful, and we just try to help them understand that when we have a dog come and play a game in our little center, it’s just a game. Just because you’re bad at playing baseball doesn’t mean that you’re not a wonderful football player. We just try to explain to people that your dog may not have done well in this, but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to do well in other things. TC: Can those in the Duke community get involved? BH: Undergraduates who are interested should contact the Duke Canine Cognition Center. We always need more help. The center is here for undergraduates—this is a place where we want people who are interested in behavior or dogs to have the opportunity to get their hands involved in some real research.... Dog lovers—and cat lovers, too—are allowed.

[At ESPN,] you’re encouraged not to be afraid to fail.” ESPN derives revenue from both advertising and its subscription services, like ESPN The Magazine. Such diversification, Kristiansen said, allowed the network to weather the recent economic downturn when advertisers were less willing to do business. Although they constituted a risk when initially implemented, subscription services now protect the network’s revenue flow, he added. ESPN also strives to add new dimensions to American sports culture. Kristiansen said the network was particularly devoted to thoroughly covering the World Cup this past summer in order to fully bring “the world’s game” to the American audience. “We threw everything we had into the World Cup. We took it upon ourselves to make this a cultural happening,” he said. Kristiansen also emphasized ESPN’s foray into the 3D market as evidence of its willingness to experiment. “We decided to get into 3D with both feet,” he said. “It is very costly, but we are airing a full season of programming. We plan on doing football, NBA and the X-Games. If you have 3D, buy yourself some glasses.” But at the same, he said, ESPN measures its risks carefully. He noted that the network usually tests innovations on a small scale before implementing them more widely. “[It can be] a quagmire,” he said. “But it is a lot of fun to figure out.” ESPN is currently testing the degree to which its 3D technology causes headaches in some individuals. Kristiansen also stressed that the network has extended its brand on the global stage, recently adding ESPN America in the United Kingdom and purchasing the Londonbased North American Sports Network in 2006, as well as similar companies that serve international markets. “We have arms all around the world who understand the local niches,” he said. “I was on a cruise in the Caribbean, and I could watch the Superbowl on ESPN—pretty cool.”

Curry makes most of Duke opportunity by Vignesh Nathan THE CHRONICLE
Growing up in North Carolina, Seth Curry knew the significance of being a Duke basketball player. He understood the spotlight that accompanied being a member of Coach K’s squad. He knew the benefits of being tutored by one of basketball’s preeminent coaching minds. “Being from North Carolina, I always thought about coming to Duke,” he said. Unfortunately, Duke did not feel the same way about Curry, at first. While he had a successful high school tenure at Charlotte Christian School, his basketball skills were not impressive enough to attract the attention of many prominent programs. Many scouts considered him too small and assumed he would have difficulty transitioning to the more physical style of play at the high-major level. That’s why Curry’s first taste of college action was for head coach Dale Layer at Liberty University, a private Christian school in Lynchburg, Virginia in the Big South Conference. Although the Big South sits as one of the NCAA’s lesser-known conferences, Curry saw opportunity in his situation. He tried to prove that his agility and long-range jumper placed him among the nation’s best. He did not disappoint. In his first year at Liberty, Curry led all freshmen in the country in scoring, deservingly picking up Big South Freshman of the Year honors. Point proven. “When I went [to Liberty], I figured that I’d be there for four years,” Curry said. “But at the end of the year, I had to make a different decision. I had to do what was best for me.” So he opened up his recruitment again. This time, however, he entertained many more attractive suitors. He even received a call from Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose Blue Devils had recently suffered a disappointing Sweet 16 loss to Villanova. “Anytime you hear from Coach K, that’s a big thing,” Curry said. As Curry recalls, Krzyzewski wanted somebody who could “make plays and score,” a need made particularly evident after that loss to the Wildcats. Merely a few months later, Curry found himself at practice in a Duke jersey, a year-and-a-half after graduating from high school
A hate letter to Sparty Let’s get this out of the way now: I hate Michigan State. It may be illogical, irrational, and even immoral, but nothing anyone says can change that. It’s a hatred that stems from a childhood spent in Michigan Stadium, idolizing great Wolverines like Mike Hart, who famously called the Spartans “little brother.” It’s a hatred that has allotted me years of bragging rights over my neighbors, as well as the occasional year of shame after one of Michigan’s rare football losses to its in-state rival. I’m guessing all of you have a similar hatred. It may be a unique one stemming from an allegiance you had before you were a Blue Devil. Or, Scott most likely, it is toward the hated Tar Heels, eight miles down the road. All of these feelings stem from one of the most unique elements of sport—the rivalry. And rivalry, in turn, is what differentiates college sports from their professional counterparts. True, there are some great rivalries in professional sports, like Yankees-Red Sox, Lakers-Celtics, or Red WingsAvalanche (that last one might be confusing to the hockey-illiterate, but trust me, it’s brutal). One’s allegiance to a professional team is tenuous at best, however. It’s defined strongest by geographical location or even by something even more arbitrary like a favorite player. And all these teams play multiple times a year, diluting the impact of the rivalry unless the sports gods bless fans with a playoff matchup. In college, though, you are your school. You take pride not only in the name of the university on your diploma, but everywhere else you see that name. And while some schools find their names on a famous research paper or in the U.S. News and World Report rankings, the real sports fan cares most about what happens with the school’s name on ESPN. And when it comes to pride, nothing is more important than bragging rights. You don’t take pride in your accomplishments if they aren’t compared to a rival’s failures. And that’s where sport offers its unique benefit. In no other venue are two rivals matched up, head-to-

DUKE vs JAMES MADISON TUESDAY • 7:00 p.m.
Duke looks to correct mistakes on third game of road trip
by Maureen Dolan THE CHRONICLE
The Blue Devils travel to Harrisonburg, Va., tonight with two goals in mind: Extend their unbeaten start to a 7-0 mark and demonstrate improvement from their last outing against Charlotte. The matchup with James Madison (3-2), the third of a four-game road swing, will pose a significant challenge, especially if Duke doesn’t learn from its latest win. “It’s always exciting to play teams that are this good,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “Every team we play is looking to win their conference. And it’s always exciting to play Duke.” The No. 5 Blue Devils are fresh off a victory over Char-
lotte, a game that was an early indicator of some of the team’s weaknesses. The squad was held to a season-low 61 points, shooting only 29.7 percent from the field. Struggling to establish consistent ball movement and rhythm on offense, Duke assisted on only nine of its baskets. On the bright side, the game did put the team to 6-0, however, marking the best start for McCallie in her 19 years of coaching. And while the offense may not have been solid, Duke did record a season-high 55 rebounds and 10 blocks. “We’re taking a lot from our game against Charlotte because we weren’t as focused and poised as we need to be,” McCallie said. “Charlotte is incredible in shooting, and we See w. basketball on page 11

Four Blue Devils given All-ACC honors Will Snyderwine also named an All-American by American Football Coaches Association
Chronicle file photo
Will Snyderwine was named second team All-ACC by the conference and first team All-America by the American Football Coaches Association Monday.
Duke’s season ended on a sour note Saturday, but that didn’t stop the ACC from rewarding four Blue Devils Monday. Will Snyderwine, Conner Vernon, Cooper Helfet and Abraham Kromah were all named All-ACC by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. Snyderwine, a redshirt-junior who walked on to the football team after a successful rugby career, was named second team All-ACC after converting 21-of-24 field goals and all of his PAT attempts this season. The Potomoc, Md. native finally earned a scholarship over the offseason, survived a threat to his starting job from Nick Maggio and wound up ranking sixth nationally in field goals per game. Widely praised by the coaching staff for improving his kickoffs this season, Snyderwine also was named first team All-America by the American Football Coaches Association Monday. Vernon, who currently leads the ACC in pass receptions, also earned second team All-ACC. The Miami native caught 73 passes for 973 yards this year. Junior tight end Helfet, a juco transfer from Redwood & Santa Rosa Junior College, picked up honorable mention honors. Helfet did not have eye-popping numbers for the season, with 34 receptions for 380 yards. However, he found his groove at the end of the year and hauled in 28 receptions for 339 yards in Duke’s last five games. Senior Kromah also won honorable mention All-ACC. Ranking second in the ACC with 129 tackles, Kromah had a career-high 20 tackles against North Carolina Saturday. —from staff reports
curry from page 9 and ready to restart his career in his home state. Unfortunately, NCAA transfer rules forced him to the bench for the 2009-2010 season. He reluctantly watched from his courtside seat as his teammates put together win after win, on their way to winning the school’s fourth national championship. And during that time, the Cameron Crazies eagerly awaited his presence on the basketball court. Rumors had begun to fly. Some began to claim that he was even better than older brother Stephen, then a rookie sensation for the Golden State Warriors. To exacerbate this curiosity, coaches and players alike also raved about his performances during closed-door practices. The Duke faithful could only imagine what Curry had in store for this season. What they saw was a self-described “aggressive scorer.” At Liberty, Curry averaged an impressive 20.2 points per game, in addition to 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals. He drained 41.7 percent of his field goal attempts, including 34.7 percent of his attempts from long-range. He hopes to have a similar effect on this year’s Duke squad. While he may not break into the starting lineup like he did at Liberty, he does have the potential to be the Blue Devils’ X-factor. With the strength he gained during the NCAA-sanctioned sabbatical and his sharpshooting abilities from downtown, Curry is exactly the type of player that can step into a game and “make plays and score,” to borrow Krzyzewski’s words. Thus far, he’s done exactly that. Curry currently averages nine points per game, shooting an impressive 47.6 percent from beyond the arc. In a game against Miami of Ohio, he exploded off the bench to lead the team in scoring, putting up 17 points on a 3-of-4 three-point shooting performance. Going forward in the season, Curry hopes to play a prominent role in arguably the best backcourt in college basketball—one that includes veteran Nolan Smith, highly touted freshman Kyrie Irving, sophomore Andre Dawkins and Tyler Thornton. Next year, Duke will add Austin Rivers and Quinn Cook to its ranks. Some might wonder if he regrets his decision to come to Duke considering such fierce competition for playing time. His response: To be the best, he must play the best. Curry expects to thrive in an atmosphere that commands excellence. “Anytime you come to Duke, you know that great players are coming with you,” he said. “That’s what makes practice so fun—you’re playing against the best players in the nation. I did my research before committing.”

w. basketball from page 9 weren’t doing as well as we could on the defensive end.” In tonight’s matchup with the Dukes, the Blue Devils will again need to slow down dangerous offensive players. Senior guard Dawn Evans, who poured in 31 points in her team’s loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium last year, has continued her strong play this year, averaging a team-high 26.6 points per game. Providing Evans support in the James Madison backcourt are sophomore Tarik Hislop and senior Courtney Hamner. Hislop was a preseason all-conference honoree, and Hamner is a sharpshooter off the bench. Given this trio’s ability shooting the ball, the Duke coaching staff is emphasizing the importance of not giving them space. “Coming from that [Charlotte] game, this will give us the opportunity to challenge James Madison’s shooters, 22 [Hislop], 23 [Evans] and 10 [Hamner],” McCallie said. “So there’s a lot of carry over, the idea of really being focused on what we need to do, having some good team defense. We also need to do a good job offensively, having more patience with the ball.” The leading senior trio for the Blue Devils has been hot away from home this year. Karima Christmas, Jasmine Thomas and Krystal Thomas are averaging double-figures in their past three games on the road. Jasmine Thomas will also have a homecoming of sorts in Harrisonburg— the 5-foot-9 senior’s hometown of Fairfax is just two hours away from Bridgeforth Stadium. After playing the Dukes, the Blue Devils will move onto the fourth leg of their road trip against Wisconsin in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Dec. 2. “The idea is to focus on the process of getting better,” McCallie said. “It’s November; we have a long way to go to be the best team in March and April. It’s the matter of improvement and challenging our team.”

rich from page 9 head, like they are in sport. When Duke and North Carolina play there is a winner and a loser. There’s no debate. On that night, one team is superior and one is inferior. The skittish among us, however, might find this profound hatred and egoism that sport engenders disheartening. They shouldn’t. Because as much as we all may “hate” the Tar Heels, the sane among us would never actually try to harm a North Carolina fan. In fact, we’d probably banter good-heartedly with one of our Tar Heel friends, and have them take us out for a drink after Duke beats them yet again. But in reality, loyalty overshadows hatred. College sport is unique for the community it creates among fans, a community that is strengthened by a common hatred for one’s rival. Say what you may about Duke’s academic prowess, but it’s the basketball team that differentiates this institution from any other of similar academic standing. The overwhelming sense of school spirit that permeates this place wouldn’t be possible without sport, nor without a shared hatred for North Carolina. And how strong is that hatred, that rivalry? Well, it sticks with you even when you’re hundreds of miles from home. It sticks with you when you’ve spurned your childhood dream school for a new opportunity. It sticks with you even if your team can’t
“I hate Michigan State. But I’m not against grabbing a drink with a Spartan after the game—as long as it means I get to rub a victory in their face for a few more hours.” — Scott Rich seem to win a game when you’re in the stadium, when it’s in the worst three-year period of its football history and when it hasn’t beaten its rival in three years. This is the situation I’m struggling through along with my beloved Wolverines. And it’ll certainly stick with me when Duke plays Michigan State Wednesday night in Cameron. That game will mean more to me than any other non-conference matchup because of my prior allegiances, allowing me to feel connected by that hatred for two hours with friends currently in Ann Arbor. To be honest, though, it may just help alleviate the pain of the Wolverines’ recent failures. So I’ll reiterate: I hate Michigan State. But I’m not against grabbing a drink with a Spartan after the game—as long as it means I get to rub a victory in their face for a few more hours.

ponent of the experience and offers students an opportunity to foster relationships with academic mentors that they can maintain when back at Duke. Students can expand on what they learned over the summer by enrolling in a course or working on a thesis relating to their DukeEngage project under the guidance of a faculty leader. “Post-experience reflection and sharing with others in the Duke community is a central tenet of the DukeEngage philosophy,” according to the program’s website. We doubt third-party organizations will be able to foster continuing engagement with students to the same extent as professors. In an ideal scenario, Duke faculty would lead all DukeEngage group projects. But in the short run, it may make
some sense to expand via outside partnerships. The University has previously collaborated with the Foundation for Sustainable Development and the Social Entrepreneur Corps, two of the organizations that will be running new international opportunities, and both groups have established models to offer. FSD, which will offer new programs in Argentina and India, connects students with home-stay families and small, grassroots community organizations. SEC is offering a new program in Nicaragua that will revolve around microfinance initiatives. Both organizations have expertise in the regions they operate and can help ensure that students are placed in meaningful internship settings. Third-party organizations could help lay the
groundwork for new projects that will ultimately be facultydriven. We would have more faith in the idea of partnering with outside organizations had the DukeEngage student advisory committee expressed interest in following this path. We find it troubling that the committee was not asked to weigh in on this expansion at all. A decision of such magnitude deserves student input from the beginning. Ultimately, more students will be able to enjoy DukeEngage funding as a result of this expansion, and those who want a faculty-led placement can still indicate that on their applications. Going forward however, we hope administrators do more to coordinate with the student advisory committee on key decisions.

To those to whom much is given
L
ast week, I saw something very moving. As I made my way up the final hill of the trail that circles the Washington Duke Inn, I saw two men running toward me. Right away, I knew they were the “real deal” as far as runners go. I might have been able to deduce this from the speed at which they flew down the hill, but the real give-away was those really, really short shorts. molly lester You know the ones I’m more taste, less filling talking about. Only real runners put those things on. But other than that, the two were only distinguishable from 100 yards away because one man wore red shorts and the other wore black. But, as we made our way toward each other, I realized something seemed a little off about this pair. Black Shorts had a firm grip on his running partner, Red Shorts, and spat off directions between breaths. “Downhill coming up!” “Trail curves a bit to the left.” “Some uneven turf here.” We were almost face to face when I realized that Red Shorts was blind and Black Shorts was guiding him—at breakneck speed, mind you—around the trail. Totally astounded by what I had just seen, I stopped running and decided to walk up that hill. And while I walked, I pondered. Who impressed me more? The blind man in the red shorts or the seeing man in the black shorts? Why was I so taken aback by their athletic synergy. Because the blind man trusted another man to guide him on the run? Or because a seeing man willingly guided his sightless friend for an entire run’s worth of time? I’m still not sure. But I am sure about this. Seeing the blind man made me realize something. Readers, strangers, family, friends, I must confess. I have been selfish. In the midst of an “oh-so-stressful” semester spent worrying only about myself—my future, my grades, my soccer, hell, even my column—I have forgotten how privileged I am and how lucky we (Dukies, Americans, the seeing, the healthy, the able) are. I’ll take you back 49 years to a Joint Convention of the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1961. Then president-elect John F. Kennedy delivered an address acknowledging the incredible responsibility he was about to assume in his new role. It was here that JFK said, “For of those to whom much is given, much is required.” And he had a good point. In my life I have wanted for nothing, save better grades, more expensive clothes and a new puppy after my old dog died. Seeing Black Shorts guide Red Shorts around the trail made me realize that there are so many simple and seemingly uncommon ways to devote my time and energy to others who may need that “guidance.” Consider the countless opportunities to give back: tutoring, mentoring, Meals on Wheels, Humane Society, park cleanups, hospital visits. You could even do something more simple and non-committal. Help a sophomore pick his major, encourage a freshman to join an IM team or recommend a junior for an internship. This column is in no way a call to arms . I know that plenty of Duke students are already involved in community outreach and civic engagement. But I also know that some of us—including me—don’t do enough, I’m just sharing something that I plan to work on as we find ourselves in the thick of the holiday season. I am certainly someone of whom “much is required.” I plan make a conscious effort to reach out over the next couple of weeks. Do you? Molly Lester is a Trinity senior. This is her last column of the semester.
