WEST COAST SHOWDOWN Blue Devils face top-seeded Ducks with Elite Eight berth at stake

ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH YEAR, ISSUE 94

Brian Pollack The Chronicle ANAHEIM, Calif.—There were many terms thrown around Wednesday to describe an Oregon team that is largely unfamiliar to most of the country. Athletic. Versatile. Aggressive. But one word came up time and time again, no matter who was speaking—unique. After surviving a second-half scare from 12th-seeded Yale Saturday, fourth-seeded Duke is set to make its 23rd Sweet 16 appearance under head coach Mike Krzyzewski Thursday night at approximately 10:07 p.m. against topNo. 4 seeded Oregon at the Duke Honda Center. Tip-off vs. is set for 30 minutes No. 1 after the first West Oregon regional semifinal between secondTHURSDAY, 10:07 p.m. seeded Oklahoma Honda Center and third-seeded Texas A&M, with a trip to the Final Four on the line Saturday between the winners of the semifinal matchups. The Ducks have quietly put together one of the most impressive seasons in program history, claiming both the Pac-12 regularseason title and conference tournament crown

en route to the region’s top seed. Much like its national power football team, Oregon thrives on the hardwood with an up-tempo pace and aggressive style of play that forces opponents to make uncharacteristic mistakes. “I don’t think there’s any direct parallel I can make—they have that unique of an identity,” Duke center Marshall Plumlee said. “They play at such a high level in that regard, so there’s not any one team I can single out that they’re like. They play an exciting, effective style of basketball, so we’re really going to have to prepare for it.” Head coach Dana Altman’s lineup defies the traditional one-through-five mold, and every player possesses the ability to do damage both inside and out. The Ducks’ de-facto center—6-foot-10, 190-pound junior Chris Boucher—is third in the nation in blocks with 3.03 per game, but can also stretch the floor and ranks third on the team by knocking down 34.6 percent of his 3-pointers. Oregon (30-6) maximizes its athleticism by employing a fluid seven-man rotation—with reserve forwards Dwayne Benjamin and Jordan Bell both averaging more than 20 minutes per game—and utilizing a pressure defense that can trap opponents in the backcourt. Even for a Duke team that withstood the rigors of a full ACC schedule, there is still a great deal of uncertainty as to what playing against the Ducks will be like.

“We don’t watch [Oregon]—you know, we watch our own neighborhood,” Krzyzewski said. “What I have learned a lot in watching them now is just how athletic they are. They basically have seven starters, and they play off each other really well. They rebound. They play with a great verve. They’re a unique team because they don’t necessarily have that traditional lowpost presence. One of their better 3-point shooters is their top shot-blocker, and I’m not sure that anybody has that.” Krzyzewski pointed to Miami as an ACC squad that could be similar to Oregon, but noted the Hurricanes cannot block shots and move as well laterally as the Pac-12 champions. The Blue Devils (25-10) struggled in each of their two NCAA tournament games when their opponents turned up the defensive intensity, a weakness the Ducks are sure to try and exploit Thursday. Oregon has compiled a 26-2 record when generating more steals than its opponents this season. With three starters in addition to Boucher checking in at 6-foot6 or taller, the Ducks have plenty of length to clog passing lanes and wreak havoc on opposing offenses—an advantage the Ducks have translated into 14.2 forced turnovers per game.

The Last Day of Classes concert this year will be a no flex zone with the rap duo Rae Sremmurd headlining the concert. The lineup—which also features indie pop band Saint Motel, rapper Wes Walker and DJ Matoma—was announced via a text messaging service and a video posted to the LDOC Facebook page at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The video was a collaboration between the committee, Duke Student Broadcasting and the student-run digital publication The Standard at Duke. Seniors Kristin Miller and Holly McLean, LDOC committee co-chairs, said they believe that students will be excited about the lineup and should recognize a few songs from each artist. “I think there is something for everyone,” McLean said. The LDOC lineup had last been announced via a text messaging service in 2013. Miller said that the committee wanted to make learning the lineup accessible, noting that K-Ville had used a similar system to call checks during tenting. “We just wanted another way, so students wouldn’t have to be actively See LDOC on Page 16

Estonian Prime Minister: Technology sparked country’s growth Neelesh Moorthy The Chronicle Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas visited Duke Wednesday to discuss how his government has used technology to improve its citizens’ lives. Rõivas—the youngest leader in the European Union—delivered a talk at the Sanford School of Public Policy called, “A 21st Century State: Anything is Possible.” He explained that his country’s emphasis on national security, fiscal prudence, a free-market economy and technology are the reasons for Estonia’s significant economic growth since regaining independence in 1991. “Even though Estonia is a small country quite far from North Carolina, we actually are a European version of the American dream,” he said. Rõivas’ talk focused on Estonia’s use of e-government programs, which allow citizens’ interactions with government to occur primarily online. The programs have made life simpler for Estonians since their adoption in 2000, Rõivas said. “The idea of using technology is not just having fancy gadgets and interesting information systems,” he said. “All the use of technology is not only because we are extremely tech-savvy, but mainly because we are practical people.” Rõivas said technology plays a fundamental role in Estonia. He noted that the Internet is a human right for Estonians and that the country is a founding member of the Digital 5—a group of leading e-governments around the world that also includes South Korea, Israel, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Jack White | The Chronicle

Taavi Rõivas, the youngest European Union leader, noted that technology has made the Estonian government’s interactions with citizens much more efficient. He explained that under the e-government systems, every Estonian citizen is given an identification card with a cryptographic key that serves as a digital identifier that can be inserted into electronic devices. Together with an individual PIN number, this creates a two-way authentication process that allows access to Estonia’s numerous e-services. The goal is to reduce the “inevitable burden” that government frequently poses, Rõivas explained, noting that the country’s digital system ensures that multiple government agencies will not have to repeat themselves.

“The government shouldn’t ask you anything you have already told them,” he said. Rõivas emphasized that it takes only a couple of hours to register a fullyfunctioning, legal company online and about three minutes to do taxes online. Estonia currently has the largest start-up per capita ratio in Europe, he noted, adding that new ventures have proliferated in Estonia since Skype was created by three Estonian programmers in 2003. Another key attribute of Estonia’s e-government programs is the cost-saving use of cryptographically-protected digital

signatures, he said. The country saves 2 percent of gross domestic product every year through time savings and reduced paperwork, allowing it to redirect funds to other issues such as national defense. “I can sign things anywhere, including in the back seat as I drive here from the airport,” he explained. Rõivas added that the use of digital signatures is widespread and that anyone can use them for any purpose except for two—real estate contracts and weddings. “Even in Estonia, you have to show up,” he joked. Since 2005, voting online has become an alternative option to voting in person, and one in every three votes is cast this way, Rõivas said. This proved useful in the 2015 parliamentary elections, in which Estonian citizens located in 126 countries cast ballots, he explained. The technology is also used in the nation’s health care sector, simplifying communications between hospitals and doctors. Rõivas acknowledged that relying on e-services creates concerns about cybersecurity. He noted, however, that Estonia has invested in this area to gain citizens’ trust. There may be security benefits to having these e-services be accessible from multiple locations because there is not a central location that can be attacked, he added. Rõivas, who came to the United States with a delegation of 30 Estonian government members, also discussed the important role that trade and international relationships have had on See ESTONIAN PM on Page 16

New Bass Connections Citizenship Lab links refugees with Durham Vir Patel The Chronicle A Bass Connections project started this year aims to increase civic participation among Durham refugees. Faculty and students working on the project, called Citizenship Lab, are currently working with 23 refugees enrolled in Durham schools. Members of the lab—which is headed by Suzanne Shanahan, co-director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics and associate research professor in sociology, and Bill Tobin, visiting associate professor in sociology— said they hope to serve as academic and civic role models for the students, and to teach them about the Durham community and its offerings. “Since this is our first year, our first challenge was to understand the particular challenges faced by a displaced population,” said Alex Oprea, a fourth-year graduate student studying political theory and civic education. “For all of [our students], we hope that because they know so many more people in the community, they’ll be able to use these community resources as they move forward. We’re trying to help them build a network and to understand that they’re not outsiders.” North Carolina ranks 10th in the country in terms of refugee resettlement—with 2,500 refugees, predominantly from Bhutan, Burma and Iraq, settling in the Triangle area in the past three years, according to the Citizenship Lab website. Shanahan explained in an email that the students in the program were recruited from local refugee families—

primarily from the Middle East and Africa—that she had connected with in her previous project, which focused on refugee women in Durham. The students are transported to Duke each week for group meetings with students and faculty to discuss their goals for the day, which can include working on projects and taking community field trips, Oprea said. The high school students are primarily working on a project called “PhotoVoice” this semester, in which each refugee has been given a camera and asked to capture what community means to him or her. “To do this project over multiple weeks the students will be taking lots of pictures,” Oprea said. “The undergraduate mentors will be going to their homes to take pictures with them on one or two different occasions. But during class time, [both the students and mentor] will be going through the photos, and they’ll be asking them to comment on questions, such as ‘Why did you take this photo, or how does this signify community?’” In addition to local field trips, the lab has also brought in speakers from the community, Oprea added. Recently, Steve Schewel, Trinity ’73, visiting assistant professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy and Durham City Council member, engaged students in a discussion about the role of City Council and answered questions about their concerns as refugees. Oprea added that the Duke faculty and students have worked to refine the program as they have learned more about community education

and refugee issues. Initially, the lab emphasized the importance of political engagement and once took the refugees to cast their ballots through the Kids Voting Durham program. “They definitely enjoyed the experience that was a part of [voting], but I think it was a little too abstract to really get at the core and understand what community and citizenship would mean to them,” Oprea said. “So then we started scaling back from the abstractness of voting and moving towards more concrete ways to explore community and religion and really draw out the meaning of citizenship.”

Both Opera and Shanahan noted that the families of refugee students and the students themselves have been very enthusiastic about the program and enjoy their interactions with Duke faculty and students. “I recall an eighth-grade girl describing how she’s so happy when she wakes up on Tuesdays because she is coming to the Citizenship Lab but so sad on Wednesday morning because it’s a whole week until she gets to return,” Shanahan wrote. “The focus of our work is community, and they are building just that. It is increasingly an important space for them.”

Bloomberg View columnist defends open debate on campus Nidhila Masha The Chronicle Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist and a senior editor of the National Review, spoke about the importance of maintaining open dialogue on college campuses during an event Wednesday. The discussion—hosted by the American Enterprise Institute at Duke and co-sponsored by other student groups— centered on the importance of free speech for a robust exchange of ideas. Ponnuru argued that political correctness hinders such free speech, and he defended open debate—particularly at universities. “An important reason that we celebrate free speech is, to put it negatively, that we don’t want to be a people who are fearful and brittle,” Ponnuru said. “These days we seem to be in danger of becoming exactly that.” Ponnuru analyzed recent events at universities that have incited debate about free speech, including the 2015 protests at Princeton University, when students called for the removal of 28th President Woodrow Wilson’s name from all university buildings because of his racist views. He also referenced incidents at Northwestern University and Harvard Law School, where he said faculty disputed specific interpretations of a federal statute that forbade sex discrimination at institutions of higher learning, and subsequently found themselves at risk of facing disciplinary action. He stated that the most troubling aspect of political correctness in these instances is the threat to the free exchange of ideas. “People who want to make campuses less tolerant of opinions with which they

disagree see federal rules as weapons which they can wield,” Ponnuru said. “It seems to me that if we want to have a climate of robust free speech on college campuses, those people need to be disarmed.” He also stated that offending certain people is a natural byproduct of debate that cannot be prevented, but must be accepted as part of human discourse—especially at universities, which are responsible for fostering such debate. “Any offense taken, even offense legitimately taken, is simply irrelevant to the incursion of debate—the truth can hurt after all,” he said.

“We should of course also follow norms of civility and discourage the gratuitous giving of offense. But even if we believe that someone is doing precisely that, it is better to tolerate that abuse than to risk harming the inquiry that is the university’s raison d’etre.” In the question-and-answer portion that followed, senior Ted Yavuzkurt, a columnist for The Chronicle, asked Ponnuru if he had noted any positive trends concerning free speech at universities. Ponnuru said he is heartened by the fact that a number of progressives have also spoken up in favor of free speech, citing President

Barack Obama as an example. “When conservatives like me defend free speech that’s one thing,” he said. “But the tendency to charge against it has happened among progressives, who will be more influenced by their fellow progressives.” Senior Mac Findlay asked about college administrators who wish to defend free speech but are concerned for their jobs in the face of student protest movements. “I would say keeping your job is not worth proving you don’t deserve it,” Ponnuru said. He argued that such trade-offs may not be necessary in the first place, and that opposing protests would not inevitably lead to job loss. When he was an undergraduate at Princeton, students staged a sit-in to fight for the implementation of an Asian-American studies program, but the president did not accede to the demands of the protestors, Ponnuru said. He noted that the president was able to cope well with the consequences of his decision. Ponnuru concluded his talk by emphasizing the necessity of debate and disagreement. “We all have to be willing to engage in debate and allow other people to disagree with us and survive it and sort of grow up,” he said. “The world’s not a safe space and you need to prepare yourself for it.” Senior Pi Praveen, president of Duke Political Union and chair of the executive council American Enterprise Institute, helped organize the event and acknowledged that it’s hard to get students to come to some events at Duke. “I am very pleased with the turnout,” Praveen said. “It’s very difficult to get a See PONNURU on Page 16

Well, Recess readers, since I have the privilege of writing the post-Spring Break editor’s note, I feel obligated to write— at least a little bit—about my own Spring Break. Unlike the masses of Duke students who frequented beach locations (every second I forget about this, my Facebook newsfeed reminds me of it), I did what I call the alternative Spring Break: I spent the week in Oxford doing research for my thesis. Now while my tone is a bit whiny, this was actually probably the ideal way I could’ve spent my spring break. Full disclosure—I love spending days in the library, I love doing research and I love getting to read for fun and then write about it. Plus, if you’ve ever been to Oxford, it’s the most beautiful place ever. But while I was there, I did have a few revelations of my own. First, I traveled completely by myself, and while I met up with friends there, I spent most of the days on my own. I met so many new people, from a Nigerian professor to an American student studying abroad in Oxford, and the fact that I was alone really opened me up to those experiences. But it also meant that I didn’t have the comfort of another person to provide security and safety. Some nights I walked home alone from a night out with friends and I felt unsafe. I hated that I felt unsafe, because Oxford is a generally secure area and well-populated into the night, but the fact remains. I did. Next, traveling by yourself is so glorious but also so hard. And don’t let anyone else tell you different. I am easily frazzled, yes, but the act of carrying your suitcase, figuring out the bus routes, determining where to stop for dinner and making sure you have enough pounds to do it-—all of that takes effort, and it’s especially more effort when you have to do it on your own at the same time with no one else’s guidance. So logistically my trip was difficult, but

it also was so rewarding. The real reason I was there was to look at two Medieval manuscripts-—one of a story based on the Trojan War, the other of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Being able to read the Latin on the (first) manuscript by myself—it was the coolest thing ever! There might have been tears in my eyes. (Tears that did not fall on the manuscript. Don’t worry, Bodleian.) Having the time to work on my thesis day in and day out was also amazing. I forgot how bogged down we all are by the constant pressures of Duke—the inundation of Facebook messages, text messages, meetings, GroupMes, Google Docs, Snapchats and Instagrams that come with a regular day at Duke. Sometimes it just gets to be too much. That brings me to my next point: the influence of social media on Spring Break. For much of the time of my trip, I had an absentmindedly thrown Marie Claire magazine face up on the floor of my hotel room with a certain headline blaring from

Duke Squirrels

the pages: “Instagram ruined my vacation.” Sometimes I feel no truer sentiment has ever been written. The advent of snap stories for this year’s #springbreak2k16 meant I could literally see what my friends were doing every day (or at least what they wanted me to see). Sometimes it sucked. It’s easy to feel like your life isn’t fun when you’re seeing the best parts of someone else’s life. And while I know my friends did have fun, at some point you have to realize that your fun—complete with the ups and downs of regular life, the ones not visible on social media—is just as great. Not because it’s a competition, but because it’s life, it’s real and it’s beautiful. So all of this philosophizing brings me to my last point, the real point of travel: discovering people from all over. If there’s one thing traveling teaches you, it’s that we’re all the same. We all want some of the same things and, no matter where we’re from or what we do, we can all relate to each other on some level. I hope I’ll remember that forever, not just after my return. —Elizabeth Dijinis

DUKE OPENS ACC PLAY WITH THE ‘CUSE Seth Johnson The Chronicle

For nearly two years from 2013 to 2015, Duke became very accustomed to winning at home, rattling off 21 consecutive victories in the friendly confines of Koskinen Stadium— tied for the longest streak in program history— en route to back-to-back national titles. But after dropping an April 4 contest to Notre Dame last season, the Blue Devils have gone just 6-4 at home—including two losses this season against unranked Richmond No. 5 Syracuse March 7 and No. 20 Air Force Tuesday— vs. and have appeared to No. 11 misplace the reliable Duke magic of their home SATURDAY, Noon stadium, where Duke Koskinen Stadium head coach John Danowski sports an 87-14 clip. In the back half of its current fourgame homestand, the No. 11 Blue Devils will look to return to their winning ways at Koskinen Stadium in their conference opener against No. 5 Syracuse Saturday at noon. After being stunned by the Falcons in overtime Tuesday, Duke will try to bounce back against a strong Orange squad that is looking to rebound from an overtime loss of its own against Johns Hopkins last Saturday. “[Syracuse is] great,” Danowski said. “They’re one of the top teams in the country year after year—a lot of fifth-year seniors, a lot of talent, athleticism [and] well-coached. [They are] just an awesome, awesome group.” In last season’s conference opener, the Blue

sports

Jack White | The Chronicle Senior Case Matheis and the Blue Devils will try to avoid a second straight loss at home when Duke welcomes fifth-ranked Syracuse to Koskinen Stadium Saturday.

Devils (6-4) were blown out on the road against Syracuse (5-1, 1-0 in the ACC) in the Carrier Dome. Although the matchup was billed as a top-five showdown, the Orange crushed Duke, jumping out to a 13-1 lead after two periods before wrapping up a 19-7 victory. Attackman Dylan Donahue was nearly unstoppable for Syracuse in that matchup, recording five goals and two assists—including three tallies and two helpers before halftime— as the Orange ran away with the contest, outshooting the Blue Devils 34-12 in the first half. This season, Donahue—who boasts a team-high 28 points—will look to extend the nation’s longest point streak to 46 games in a repeat performance for Syracuse. “[Donahue]’s great,” Danowski said.

“He lit us up last year. [He is] smart, coach’s son, terrific shooter, feeder [and] a consummate team player.” Danowski’s squad has given up several extended runs this season, which could spell trouble if Duke allows another fast start by an Orange team that has outscored opponents 46-21 in the first 30 minutes. Against the Falcons Tuesday, the Blue Devils gave up six unanswered goals, but if they have any hope of nabbing their first win against Syracuse since the 2014 regular season, they will have to keep Donahue and fellow attackman Nick Mariano—who recorded his third consecutive hat trick last weekend—from producing another offensive outburst. “You can dwell on [Tuesday] night’s loss

for maybe 24 hours at most, then you’ve got to move forward because Syracuse is coming on Saturday, getting around to the ACC schedule,” senior Case Matheis said. “You’ve just got to move on, take the lessons that you learn…that we learned from Richmond, that we learned from Harvard, Denver and you’ve got to incorporate that into everyday practice.” So far this season, Duke has not won a game in which it has allowed more than 11 goals, which could be problematic against the high-powered Orange offense. Syracuse has recorded 41.8 shots per game and is averaging 13.7 goals per contest. Coupled with a dominant 68.9 percent winning percentage on faceoffs, the Orange have the ability to keep possession, pass to open attackmen and find the back of the net with ease. If the Blue Devils struggle to get the ball between the pipes for the second straight game—Air Force goalkeeper Doug Gouchoe recorded 17 saves Tuesday—they may have to rely on faceoff specialist Kyle Rowe to keep winning possessions at the X to keep any hope of winning alive. The junior is 113of-163 for the year in faceoffs, winning 69.3 percent of his draws. “[Syracuse is] an ACC defense and they’re going to be very athletic—rangy, good feet— so we’ve just got to approach every matchup and try to win your matchups,” Matheis said. “[You have to] see what the defense gives you, see how they play midfielders, play off how they cover Myles [Jones] and Deemer [Class], and you’ve just got to be a smart player out there.” Phil Coons contributed reporting.

FOOTBALL

Blue Devils impress at Duke’s annual Pro Day Ryan Hoerger The Chronicle Wide receiver Max McCaffrey described Wednesday as one last chance to take the field with his Duke brothers. His three actual brothers were looking on, and the senior put on quite the show. Ten former Blue Devils did their best to impress NFL scouts representing 29 of the league’s 32 teams at Duke’s pro day Wednesday at Pascal Field House, completing lifts, agility exercises and position-specific drills. McCaffrey made the biggest splash of the day, turning in a blistering 4.36 second 40yard dash with his entire family—including three-time Super Bowl champion father Ed McCaffrey and 2015 Heisman Trophy runnerup brother Christian McCaffrey—watching intently from the sidelines. “It was really cool—I know it’s hard for them to make it out at one time, they’re all really busy. It means a lot to me that they could come out and support me today,” Max McCaffrey said.

“[My dad] always claims he ran a faster time than I could, but I don’t know about that. They were doing the hand-times, starting and stopping.” After going through measurements, lifts and on-field drills, McCaffrey, running back Shaquille Powell and tight ends Braxton Deaver and David Reeves caught passes from former Georgia Tech and James Madison quarterback Vad Lee, a Durham native. ACC Defensive Player of the Year Jeremy Cash did not participate in on-field workouts Wednesday. The strike safety is viewed as the top pro prospect leaving Durham but underwent wrist surgery in December. Cash said he intends to hold a private workout in mid-April. “It’s been a little difficult to get feedback because I haven’t run yet, but that’s okay because when I do I’m sure they’ll be pleasantly surprised,” he said. After completing his pass-catching drills, Deaver headed out to the field for longsnapping. Like Powell—Duke’s leading rusher in 2015 who also delivered timely plays on special teams—the tight end is hoping his versatility will

help catch the eye of an NFL team. “You want to keep a guy around who can help a team win. If you want me to snap it, I’ll snap it. You want me to fill up the water cooler, I’ll do that too,” Deaver said. “I’m excited for the process and happy to be of any help at all.” Last season, offensive guard Laken Tomlinson became the first Blue Devil selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 28 years, and Jamison Crowder enjoyed a strong rookie season as a fourth-round pick. This year’s NFL draft looms April 28-30 in Chicago, and several of the Blue Devils hope to be traveling well before then, off to hold personal workouts with teams and visit their facilities in hopes of pursuing their dreams. “It’s something I’ve been waiting on for 16 years. We don’t play football for a long time just to play it—everybody wants to get to this point,” defensive tackle Carlos Wray said. “Now that I’m here, I’m just trying to enjoy it.” For complete coverage of Duke’s pro day, go online to dukechronicle.com.

‘IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD’ Two of the game’s best coaches—one high-profile, one under the radar—will square off Thursday Brian Pollack The Chronicle ANAHEIM, Calif.—Thursday’s Sweet 16 showdown between Duke and Oregon promises to be full of great matchups on the court—Brandon Ingram against Dillon Brooks, the Ducks’ press versus the Blue Devil ball-handlers and 7-footer Marshall Plumlee battling the shot-blocking prowess of Chris Boucher. But the best matchup of all could well be on the sidelines. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Oregon head coach Dana Altman have met once before, albeit under much different circumstances. It was the beginning of the 201011 season—Altman’s first at the helm for the Ducks—while Krzyzewski was coming off his fourth national championship in 20 years. Altman had spent the previous 16 seasons at mid-major Creighton, and had the bad fortune of running into a powerhouse Blue Devil team in just his sixth-ever game at Oregon. The outcome was not pretty for Altman and his Ducks—Duke marched into Portland, Ore., and pounded out a 98-71 victory, led by 30 points from Kyle Singler. “I’d rather forget that game, but that was our first year and we were not very good,” Altman said. “We had guys that really wanted to be there and really wanted to compete. But I think Duke was coming off a national championship there also and they got us pretty good.” Despite that early-season setback, that 2010-11 Oregon team went on to win 21 games—a mark it has eclipsed in each of the ensuing five seasons. Thanks to this instant run of success—in addition to his prolific run and seven NCAA tournament appearances with the Blue Jays—Altman has now compiled a winning record for 18 straight seasons, joining the elite company of Krzyzewski, Bill Self, Jim Boeheim, Tom Izzo and Roy Williams. After a solid 24-10 campaign in 2011-12, Altman broke through in his third season and took Oregon to the Big Dance with a 28-9 record. As a 12 seed, the Ducks demolished fifthseeded Oklahoma State and fourth-seeded St. Louis during the tournament’s opening weekend—with the two victories coming by a combined 30 points—to reach the Sweet 16. There, Oregon met its match in eventual national champion Louisville, but the March Madness success gave a stamp of legitimacy to a basketball program at a school better known for its football. Since that run, the Ducks have reached the NCAA tournament in each of the last three seasons, starting to attract top talent and finally nabbing a No. 1 seed for this year’s tournament.

Kristen Shortley | The Chronicle Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has reached 12 Final Fours and cut down the nets five times, but the Blue Devils will be tested by top-seeded Oregon as the Ducks try to get head coach Dana Altman to the first Elite Eight of his career.

“[Altman has] done a great job. You can tell they’re a very well-coached team and they’re very talented as well,” Duke sophomore Grayson Allen said. “Look at the team they have— they have a combination of young guys. [Tyler] Dorsey is a really good freshman and older guys as well. So to have that combination, I mean, he’s doing a good job there.” Now Altman is back in the Sweet 16, on the doorstep of solidifying himself as one of college basketball’s top coaches. He has all but mastered the regular season, reaching the 30win plateau this year to set the single-season mark in Eugene, Ore. Altman also has a National Coach of the Year award and two Pac-12 Coach of the Year awards to his name, thanks to his first half-dozen seasons that are now the most successful in Oregon history. But the postseason success that has always eluded Altman— who is just 8-10 in the NCAA tournament—will be staring at him across the court Thursday in the form of Krzyzewski. As Krzyzewski guides the Blue Devils to their 23rd Sweet 16 under his watch, he can rely on 90 NCAA tournament victories, 12 Final Fours and five national titles for experience and credibility. Altman is still looking for his first trip to the Elite Eight. A victory Thursday would be just another notch in the belt of Krzyzewski, but would represent so much more for Altman and his career.

“It would mean the world,” Oregon forward Dillon Brooks said. “I don’t think too many guys know that, but once it’s known, we’re going to do everything in our power to get Coach Altman as far as he can and build his resume and build his whole coaching staff’s resume as well.” Altman’s sustained success has not gone unnoticed and has earned the respect of the college basketball community at large. Krzyzewski called him “obviously an outstanding coach”, a testament to his proven knack for building a program into something much bigger than he inherited. As the number of teams still vying for college basketball’s top prize dwindles, the elite coaches separate themselves by staying alive. There are several terrific coaching battles taking place this week—Miami’s Jim Larrañaga against Villanova’s Jay Wright, Williams against Indiana’s Tom Crean, Boeheim against Gonzaga’s Mark Few—that deserve plenty of attention, as much as the players on the court will get. And Krzyzewski versus Altman belongs right up there with any of them. “It’s going to be a great coaching battle. Coach Altman has been looked down upon and not gotten his recognition for a long time, and this is a chance to show it,” Brooks said. “Coach Altman is an evil genius when he’s out there making the playcalls and switching up defenses. This is his time to shine.”

Thornton, pair of Ducks relish homecoming Brian Pollack The Chronicle

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Playing close to his hometown of Chatsworth, Calif., freshman point guard Derryck Thornton will square off against some familiar faces Thursday when Duke meets Oregon in the Sweet 16.

ANAHEIM, Calif.—Duke had to pack up and travel across the country for its Sweet 16 matchup with Oregon, a journey of more than 2,500 miles that included missing an entire week of class. For one Blue Devil, though, the trip is a particularly welcome one—a trip home. Duke freshman Derryck Thornton was born and raised in Chatsworth, Calif., just more than an hour away from the Honda Center in Anaheim, where the Blue Devils will take on the topseeded Ducks Thursday night for the right to go to the Elite Eight. When the bracket was announced Selection Sunday and Duke was assigned to the West region, Thornton knew playing at home was a possibility if the Blue Devils could escape Providence, R.I., with two victories. Two nail-biters later, Duke

accomplished just that, and Thornton got his homecoming game. “I was extremely excited. It was a thought that we could come out here but I really wanted to focus on the game before, but I was extremely excited and just hoping we could get out here,” Thornton said. “It’s been great. Just kind of showing the guys around a little bit, and just being back home…it’s a different feeling.” The Blue Devils arrived on the West Coast late Monday evening, giving them plenty of time to adjust to the time difference ahead of Thursday’s game. Their schedule did not leave much time for sightseeing or family reunions, though, and Thornton said he has just shown his teammates the lay of the land while they drive around. Duke is no stranger to playing in front of home crowds. Freshman Brandon Ingram hails from Kinston, N.C., and plays most of his games within his home state. Fellow rookie Luke Kennard had

PREVIEWING THE WEST REGIONAL 1. Oregon Ducks 2. Oklahoma Sooners 30-6 (14-4 in the Pac-12) How they got here: Oregon cruised into the Round of 32 with a 39-point rout of 16th-seeded Holy Cross, but things got much tougher in the second round against St. Joseph’s. The Ducks opened up a 45-35 lead early in the second half, but the Hawks used a 23-6 run to seize a 58-51 advantage with 5:33 left. With their postseason hopes on the ropes, Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey went to work, scoring eight of Oregon’s next 10 points to grab back the lead with less than two minutes left. Three different players hit a pair of free throws in the final 35 seconds to seal the win for the Ducks, who are the only Pac-12 team remaining in the field. Head coach Dana Altman has gotten production from a number of players through the first two games, but Brooks

has been the most consistent, averaging 18.0 points per contest as Oregon’s stretch four. Six-foot-10 center Chris Boucher feasted inside against Holy Cross’ smaller front line in the first round for 20 points, but managed just two against the Hawks. How they reach Houston: Brooks’ ability to drive the lane gets opposing frontcourts in foul trouble, and Dorsey heats up from the perimeter. Quotable: “This is a point in our time that we need to play well. We need to play well on the national stage against someone that is very good and has proven themselves” —head coach Dana Altman on gaining national recognition

3. Texas A&M Aggies 26-8 (13-5 in the SEC) How they got here: Down 12 with 44 seconds remaining in the second round against No. 11 seed Northern Iowa, the Aggies appeared on the verge of bowing out of the tournament. But Texas A&M mounted the largest lastminute comeback in college basketball history, going on a 14-2 run to end regulation to send the game to overtime. The Aggies eventually emerged in double-overtime with a 92-88 victory. Guard Danuel House followed his team-high 20 points in the Aggies’ 92-65 first-round win against Wisconsin-Greeen Bay with 22 more against the Panthers— most of which came in the final minute of regulation and the two overtimes. How they reach Houston: Texas A&M will not have the luxury of

a sizable contingent on hand when the Blue Devils traveled to Louisville, Ky., to take on the Cardinals in a game roughly two hours from his hometown of Franklin, Ohio. But now, it is Thornton’s turn to have his own cheering section in the crowd. “I have a decent amount of family and friends coming out to the game,” Thornton said. “I’ve been talking to them, and they’re pretty excited to come out and catch a game because all of our games are normally on the East Coast. They’re happy to come out, and I’m happy to play in front of them.” Thornton will also see some familiar faces on the opposing sidelines in Oregon’s Jordan Bell and Tyler Dorsey, both of whom are natives of the Golden State. Bell hails from Long Beach—just a half-hour drive from Anaheim—and Dorsey calls the bright lights of Los Angeles home. Although Thornton attended high school at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, he played his youth hoops in California and crossed paths with both Bell and Dorsey several times. The Duke point guard said

surviving a slow start against the explosive Buddy Hield and secondseeded Oklahoma. But with a big performance from House and big contributions from senior guards Alex Caruso and Jalen Jones, the Aggies have enough firepower to head home for a chance to win the championship. Quotable: “We got home 1:30 or 2 a.m. Sunday night or Monday early in the morning, and my wife and I we watched SportsCenter, we watched everything, and tried to enjoy it for about two hours. Unfortunately we were up till about 3:30 or 4:00. They replayed the game actually on CBS when we got home, so a lot of our guys even watched it” —head coach Billy Kennedy on the dramatic win against Northern Iowa

he began playing on AAU travel teams with Dorsey—who is shooting a teambest 41.8 percent from 3-point range this year for the Ducks—beginning in the fifth or sixth grade, and the two made for quite a backcourt duo. “It was pretty young, middle school. It was very competitive, though,” Dorsey said. “I’ve known Derryck for a long time. We worked out together, played against each other, so I’m looking forward to playing against him.” Bell—who said his primary sport was football until the beginning of high school—did not run in the same AAU circles as Taylor and Thornton, but participated in summer camps with them. And even at that young age, it was clear to him that Thornton had the skills to be a very special player. “He was on my team like a couple times in camps and things like that,” Bell said. “I always thought he was a great player. Growing up, I was like, ‘Oh, he’s going to be great.’” Oregon has played in two of these pseudo-homecoming games already this

27-7 (12-6 in the Big 12)

How they got here: Oklahoma made its second straight Sweet 16 the same way it earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament—by riding the hot shooting of National Player of the Year candidate Buddy Hield and providing Hield with enough support from fellow guards Isaiah Cousins and Jordan Woodard to pull away from teams late. Hield erupted for 19 points in the final eight minutes of Sunday’s second-round contest against 10th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth and finished with 36 points after a slow start. Woodard and Cousins combined for 32 points to send the Sooners past the Rams 85-81. Oklahoma’s first-round game against Cal State Bakersfield followed a similar script, with Hield pouring in 16 of his 27 points in the final 13:30 of

the contest and Woodard and Cousins backing up their superstar teammate with 31 total points in an 82-68 win. How they reach Houston: The Sooner guards continue their hot shooting late in games and get some much-needed support from big men Ryan Spangler and Khadeem Lattin on both ends of the court. Quotable: “I got to watch it, and it was crazy. What they did was remarkable and I respect their fight.When we play them, if we get up a big lead, we can’t take that lead for granted because we know they’re capable of making a run” —Buddy Hield on Texas A&M’s comeback win against Northern Iowa

4. Duke Blue Devils 25-10 (11-7 in the ACC)

How they got here: The fourthseeded Blue Devils trailed by three at halftime in the first round against UNC-Wilmington, but they solved the Seahawks’ press after the break and avoided the upset with a barrage of lobs to Marshall Plumlee, who poured in a career-high 23 points on 9-of10 shooting in a fast-paced 93-85 victory. The Blue Devils followed that up with one of their best halves of the season against No. 12 Yale, jumping out to a 46-19 lead behind lights-out shooting from Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard. The Bulldogs nearly stormed all the way back, trimming the deficit to three in the final minute, but Duke held them off to win 71-64. Allen is averaging 26.0 points per game in the tournament’s first two

season, with back-to-back road games against Pac-12 foes Southern California and UCLA to close out the regular season. Both games ended in wins for the Ducks and served as a springboard for the team on its run through the conference tournament. Dorsey seems to relish playing in front of his family and friends, dropping a team-high 20 points against the Bruins to go along with nine boards. He followed that up with 19 points on a crisp 8-of-11 shooting as Oregon clinched the conference regular-season title with a win against the Trojans. Bell chipped in solid performances in those games as well, combining to go 9-for-11 from the floor and is looking to turn in a signature performance in front of the home crowd to send the Blue Devils back to Durham Thursday. “For Tyler, he seems to be playing great—when we played USC and UCLA he had some great games,” Bell said. “For me, I kind of struggle playing at home because of the nerves and I try to do too much. But hopefully it comes after a couple of games playing here and I’ll just be myself.”

games and leads the Blue Devils with 21.8 points per game this season. How they reach Houston: The Blue Devils shoot at least 50 percent from long range and Plumlee avoids foul trouble to be a formidable defensive presence in the post as every player in the rotation steps up to push Duke past two strong opponents and into the Final Four. Quotable: “They’re a very athletic team. You look at them and you could argue they’re one of the most athletic teams in the country with a combination of size and just athleticism they put on the court. Their guys attack you” —Grayson Allen on Oregon

A Brief History of Duke Pranks Jessica Williams

prevent the public from reading a negative article, no especially inflammatory stories were reported in that issue. The prank cost The Chronicle $5,000 in advertising revenue and $3,000 in reprinting and redistribution. In March 1977, a freshman threw a pie at a junior eating dinner in the East Campus Union, now known as Marketplace. Although the pied junior reported embarrassment, she was not hurt in any way. That didn’t stop the pie-r from being found guilty of assault and battery and disorderly conduct by the Undergraduate Judicial Board, even with the prankee testifying on his behalf.

The Chronicle From the fire extinguisher in Giles’s oven to the pizza box in Randolph’s dryer, pranks conducted by this year’s freshman class are notorious among underclassmen and upperclassmen alike. However, pranks aren’t unique to the Class of 2019; campus history is scattered with jokes and antics from the very beginning. Here are some of the more notable pranks reported on by The Chronicle in the last 60 or so years.

Benches

Located near the West bus stop, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity’s bench was a major target in the 1980’s. It was anchored to the ground and chained to a building to prevent vandalism. Although these precautions helped it survive through the decade, it was targeted again in 1991. The bench disappeared over Fall Break, and was replaced by an exact miniature replica— chained to the building and all. Lost for days, the bench was eventually found intact by fraternity members at the base of the water tower in Gaffney, South Carolina, three hours away from campus on the I-85. Though infamous this school year due to various questionable incidents, Giles Dorm actually has a rich history of shenanigans. A Chronicle article from 2006 describes how “a group from Giles Dormitory--selfchristened “the G-spot G’s”—insist they have initiated the freshman bench wars.” During the 2006 bench war season, Wilson Dorm (Giles’s rival) had their bench stolen, and many benches were turned vertically. However, this hardly compares to the 2004 bench war season, in which benches were suspended from trees.

Miscellaneous Mischief

Special to The Chronicle

Vintage Pranks

In May 1953, in the midst of the Cold War, a student pranked campus by flying a red flag over the Allen Administration Building on West Campus. Though less meaningful to us today, at the time The Chronicle reported student reactions ranging from, “They ought to shoot the guy who did it” to “Boy, that’s the funniest thing I ever saw on this campus.” In December 1957, the freshman girls of Alspaugh Dorm conducted a bow heist on a group of sophomores. The sophomore target for an unknown reason had a hoard of red hair bows, which the freshmen acquired through distraction on the telephone and walking inconspicuously out of the sophomore dorm. The day after the prank, most girls of Alspaugh sported

their loot, donning the red bows instead of their traditional white ones. When questioned about the motive behind the prank, a perpetrator told The Chronicle, “The red bows are so much prettier than the white ones. Besides, the boys get inquisitive about them; it’s a great way to start a conversation.”

Pranks Gone Wrong

Early on a Sunday morning in December 1958, stink bombs were tossed into West Campus Houses H and K. A freshman smelled the odor for too long, and was assigned to bed rest by a doctor. Eight thousand to 10,000 copies of The Chronicle were stolen from campus bins in February 2009. Though the act may have been organized by a group to

In February 1998, two roommates on West Campus were pranked with over 100 orders for food. Their numbers were printed on a phony restaurant menu circulated around East Campus, offering foot-long sandwiches for only $2.50. Although the pranksters certainly meant it as a joke, most calls were from students who thought the menu was real and actually wanted to order food. Statues on campus have been the targets of pranks for years. Sometime in the 60s or 70s, the James B. Duke Statue in front of the Chapel was covered in tinfoil and made to hold a cardboard sign reading “Greetings Earthlings” due to reported UFO sightings in Rocky Mount, N.C. In the same decades, the statue was also dressed up as political candidates, sheiks and Charlie Chaplin. The Sower statue—which, like most statues at Duke, is made of metal and is therefore very heavy—was tipped on its face in December 1993 as a result of a prank.

Nasher offers new concentration in museum studies Christy Kuesel The Chronicle Students now have even more of an opportunity to interact with the Nasher Museum with the introduction of a Museum Theory and Practice concentration for the Art History major. The concentration offers students interested in pursuing a career in museum studies an opportunity to get more experience in working in museums. It was initially proposed as a certificate, but was only approved as a concentration this January due to the fact that the concentration is primarily focused in the art history department and is not interdisciplinary. “Students will be able to get a major, but they will be able as part of their coursework to take a core group of classes that will give them more experience in the concerns around museums and maybe explore the possibility of a museum career in the future,” said Marianne Wardle, Andrew W. Mellon curator of academic programs at the Nasher. Although the Nasher is involved in the academic life of Duke through Bass Connections and class visits, the concentration will be the first curriculum-based program created by the museum. Wardle initially proposed the idea of a museum studies certificate five years ago. At this time, only one course was available in the field of museum studies, and this course was only available to seniors and graduate students. “A lot of students didn’t know how to explore the idea of a museum as a career, and they weren’t really sure how to figure that out,” Wardle said. When Sarah Schroth became director of the Nasher in 2013, she took interest in Wardle’s

suggestion, and the two began speaking to the Art, Art History Visual Studies Department. With the help of Director of Undergraduate Studies Neil F. McWilliam, they came up with requirements for the concentration. The concentration involves the creation of three new courses, all operating out of the Nasher. Museum Theory and Practice will be cotaught by Wardle and Schroth. The class will focus on an introduction to museum theory and provides basic information for students who may not have had any previous exposure to museum studies. The course is based off of the museum studies course that had been previously only available to seniors and graduate students. The Museum Object will be taught by Wardle and will focus on objects being shown at museums and how to make these objects,

which are three-dimensional but hidden behind glass cases, accessible to museum visitors. “I have found that here at Duke, students learn to analyze text and manage historical sources really really well, but they don’t think of material objects as primary sources quite as frequently,” Wardle said. “This can give them a chance to really think through all kinds of angles of an object.” Students will also get practical experience with object maintenance, working on condition reports and talking to registrars and conservators about the objects. The History and Theory of Curatorial Practice, taught by Marshall Price, Nancy Hanks curator of modern and contemporary art, will focus on the history of exhibitionmaking. The seminar will provide students with an introduction to curatorial practice

and theory and study local exhibitions at the Nasher and at other museums in the Triangle. It will focus on contemporary art and look at the curatorial discipline has evolved in the last few years. A course entitled Curatorial Practicum will also be available, in which students will be able to collectively curate their own small exhibit to display at the Nasher. Two internship courses through the Nasher are also available, where students can work in a department at the Nasher and assist in activities ranging from research to writing labels for art to database work. Students must take four courses for their concentration, including Museum Internship 1 and either Museum Theory and Practice or the Museum Object. The new courses are all being released over the next two years, meaning that the Class of 2018 will be the first class able to graduate with the concentration. Students pursuing the concentration are advised by Wardle in addition to a separate advisor for the art history major. Students will meet with Wardle when they declare their concentration, after they complete their first internship and after they have completed the program, at which time they can receive career advice. Though the Nasher is an art museum, the skills students learn when pursuing a museum studies concentration are applicable in other areas of the arts, including non-profit work and work at other kinds of museums. “I’m really hoping that other students in allied fields will take the classes because there are a lot of jobs that all kinds of museums have, and it doesn’t really matter if it’s an art museum or a history museum or a science museum,” Wardle said.

Magic, Brickside, Duran: Spring concerts not to miss Georgina Del Vecho

to dance to. So if you’re seeking a refuge from the hard beats and heart-pounding bass of Shooters music, this Friday night Cat’s Cradle show is just what you’ve been looking for.

The Chronicle Spring is in the air and music is in the Triangle. See here for your guide of shows to see before the semester’s end.

Brickside 4/9 @ Duke Coffeehouse Brickside 2016 is here! A full 12 hours of good music, vendors and food trucks right on East Campus at the Duke Coffeehouse. Some of the artists playing at the event include Grandmaster Flash, the rap legend previously part of the innovative hip-hop group The Furious Five; AJJ, a unique group whose music has been described as “folk punk”; Bad Friends; and Natural Causes. Wristbands for the event can be purchased at the Coffeehouse this week.

Duran Duran 3/28 @ DPAC Growing up, my mom would always play Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf” in the car on our way to school, so naturally I assumed the band was old and no longer together. But they’re not! In fact, they’re on the first leg of their North American “Paper Gods” tour and will be putting on a show at Durham Performing Arts Center March 28. Chance the Rapper 3/29 @ The Ritz After canceling his Nov. 9 show at the Ritz last year, Chance is back. If you’re familiar with his music, this show is a no-brainer. Not only is he a talented rapper, but his energy and passion for his music means that you can count on a good show. So, assuming he actually shows up, this concert will be a great way to relieve your midterm stress (or to procrastinate studying for them). Daughter with Wilsen 4/2 @ Cat’s Cradle With timeless hits like “Youth,” “Smother” and “Medicine,” Daughter’s moody and ethereal sound is one that can only be fully experienced live. Joining them will be Wilsen, a similar-sounding artist

whose music has a more minimalist feel that has been described melancholy and surreal. Cat’s Cradle’s 750-person venue will allow concert-goers to experience the up-andcoming bands in an intimate setting that will lend itself well to the feel of their music. Magic Man & the Griswolds with Panama Wedding 4/8 @ Cat’s Cradle This show promises to be a fun time. All three bands produce indie music with an upbeat feel that is feel-good and easy

The Mowgli’s with Julia Nunes and The Rebel Light 4/10 @ Cat’s Cradle This quirky indie pop musical collective hailing from Los Angeles, Ca. is coming to Cat’s Cradle April 10 along with singersongwriter Julia Nunes and The Rebel Light, another indie pop band from LA. Although the Mowgli’s have received recent criticism for their newest album, Kids In Love (some claim that it does not live up to their 2013 hit “San Francisco”), the combination of these three artists has the potential to add up to an unforgettable show.

Fanfare Ciocarlia 4/11 @ Motorco If you’re looking to experience a new type of music, this Balkan brass band’s concert is for you. The Romanian group, whose members are of Gypsy heritage, is described by Motorco as “a twelve-piece maelstrom of trumpets, tuba, clarinets, saxophones and percussion.” They draw influences from artists as diverse as Duke Ellington to Balkan wedding bands, and have performed in traditional ceremonies as well as concert stages around the world. True Widow with Slimy Member 4/21 @ Kings Although hardly upbeat, True Widow’s heavy and melancholy sound is the perfect feel-good-about-not-feeling-good music. Playing alongside them will be the band Slimy Member, who have a more punk feel but whose similarly drums and guitar-heavy music serves as an ideal complement to True Widow’s reverb-soaked melodies. The Joy Formidable 4/25 @ Cat’s Cradle The Joy Formidable has been relatively silent since 2013, but no longer. With the release of two new songs in 2016 and their announcement of a USA Spring Tour it seems this band is back on the rise. With previous hits including the classically alternative “Whirring,” this band is, in the words of The Guardian’s Michael Hann, “one for speakers, not headphones.”

Music Review: Kamaiyah’s ‘A Good Night in the Ghetto’ Drew Haskins The Chronicle “I’ve been working all my life, but I wonder/How does it feel to be rich? How does it feel to just live?” sings Kamaiyah on “How Does It Feel?”, the first single from her brand new debut mixtape “A Good Night in the Ghetto.” The answer to her question may appear sooner than she thinks. “A Good Night in the Ghetto” is the best debut rap release of the year, and it portends great things from a very talented artist. Kamaiyah is a 21-year-old rapper and singer from Oakland, and her music is a synthesis of G-funk and the ubiquitous “Mustard-wave” R&Bass music recently popularized by artists such as DJ Mustard and YG. In an age where rap music is getting more and more narcotic both in sound and subject, “A Good Night in the Ghetto” is a breath of fresh air. It’s the most fun rap album in recent memory; all eighteen songs could be potential

singles and demand to be played on huge speakers at a party. The production on the mixtape manages to sound both new and old at the same time. Kamaiyah and her associate producers capture the essence of G-funk in a way that pays tribute to luminaries such as Warren G and Dr. Dre while simultaneously freshens it for the digital age. “How Does It Feel?” is an excellent first single that encapsulates her unique sounds. Kamaiyah’s flow on the verses rides smoothly over minimal, Timbalandesque handclaps and burbling bass and explodes in the chorus. The rest of the album is similarly masterful at balancing subtlety and jubilance. Songs like “N” and “Freaky Freaks” have the catchiness of vintage Ludacris tracks, with sing-a-long choruses that are perfectly sold by Kamaiyah’s charisma. The production is excellent throughout, though the skits that extend the album could be cut out without incident. The whole mixtape is anchored by Kamaiyah’s matter-of-fact lyrics and

Special to The Chronicle

deep voice, both of which ground the cosmic production into something gritty and tangible. It is the rare album that revels in positivity and good vibes. While most releases deal with more serious subjects, “A Good Night in the Ghetto” is a quintessential party album that celebrates fun times with friends. To Kamaiyah, the key to happiness is “a

hot crew and hot dudes,” and the whole mixtape plays around with this simple theme to radiant effect. “A Good Night in the Ghetto” is, so far, the most purely joyful and catchy release of 2016. It’s a mixtape that perfectly soundtracks warm weather and summer shenanigans. Kamaiyah might not be rich yet, but her debut signals fame to come.

Watching the watchmen

ver the course of the past few years, police departments across the U.S. have been brought under strict public scrutiny for racial profiling, militarization and excessive force that too often resulted in fatal encounters. Related to this shift in police-community relations is the news reported earlier this month of University EVP Tallman Trask’s hit and run with parking attendant Shelvia Underwood. DUPD was inappropriately unresponsive to Underwood’s requests for the release of the police report. Outside experts have claimed that DUPD and its state-commissioned officers may not have filled the report out thoroughly. We have also pointed out that Tallman Trask’s indirect supervision of the university police department poses a potential conflict of interests for such DUPD investigations. Many of the murkier parts of this case, including the legitimacy of DUPD’s mandate to release records and their oversight by Trask emanate from DUPD’s status as a private police force. Across the country, 95 percent of college campuses operate their own law enforcement agencies with sworn police officers. These departments are often independent of local departments and their officers have full arrest powers and are usually armed. Although they

operate in the same capacity as standard police departments, private university police departments often do not have to abide by the standards of transparency that other police departments do. In 44 states, campus departments have no obligation to release the same police records that non-private departments would have to release. Both courts and lawyers have objected to this double standard and argued that any police department endowed with the full powers of a law enforcement agency ought

Editorial to maintain transparency. Campus police should not have it both ways. If a university wants to have its own police force separate from a municipality to give it flexibility or control over campus security and law enforcement, it ought to have it abide by the standards that other police departments do. Existing on a campus is a unique legal and cultural space for a police force to interface with its community. We do recognize several advantages to having a police force present on campus. First, because of its location on campus, DUPD has much faster response times to incidents than Durham PD reasonably could. The presence of DUPD also stops the Durham police

“I

from being overwhelmed with the large number of cases that come out of campus, most of which deal with smaller crimes and require close cooperation with University departments and officials. Finally, having DUPD on campus as opposed to the Durham PD allows for small some infractions like underage drinking to be processed by Student Conduct instead of escalating to formal charges. While we acknowledge there is a place for DUPD on campus, we believe that it is critical that the department be more transparent with records, as they are required to do so by the revised Campus Police Act. Although DUPD released part of Shelvia Underwood’s incident report, it took a protracted and unnecessary struggle to achieve that. Part of the reason that university police departments exist is to foster trust in students who may be skeptical of municipal or state departments, but opacity hinders that trust. We also call for a way, whether through complete independence of the force or the consultation of outside agencies, for investigations involving Duke University officials to take place without conflicts of interests. We appreciate our officers on campus but ask for courtesy and transparency from the bureaucracy, especially in cases like this that demand openness about their handling.

The 90/100 Rule

’m gonna go get some breakfast and maybe walk around a little bit.” “Do you want some company?” “Yeah, sure!” And we were off. It was about eight in the morning in Rome, we had no plan, but we were walking. And being only our third day and having only an Italian map, it was safe to say we had no idea where we were in relation to anything else. Nonetheless, if you’ve ever seen “Neature Walk – Episode 1,” you have a rough idea of what our morning was like. Around every corner, it seemed, was some pretty neat stuff. By complete accident, we stumbled across the site where Caesar was

And what an applicable life lesson: ninety percent accident, 100 percent success. How often do you find yourself in awesome situations by complete accident? Last fall I wrote a column about doing stuff on a whim, which I think is pretty similar. Although, that piece focused on major life events: going to college, choosing a job. But this trip really got me thinking about the 90/100 rule in terms of small, everyday happenings. The first time I went fishing in the western North Carolina mountains, we tried the French Broad River. We had no idea what we were doing or where we were, only that we were looking at water and hoping there were fish in it. After a

Max Stayman THE THREE HAVES killed on the Ides of March, the Vittoriano, the Colosseum and countless other ruins, churches, historical sites and Panini shops. How neat is that? That’s a beaut! After some unknown number of “Ooh that’s neat!” exclamations, Nate made a comment that would end up setting the tone for our trip: “This morning has been 90 percent accident, 100 percent success.” There are basically three ways to travel. First, do tons of research and planning and figure out all the cool things to do, where they are, and how to get back and forth between them. Second, find out a little bit about where you’re going, pretend like you know what you’re doing and try to act confident despite really having no idea what’s going on. And third, wing it. Decide to go somewhere and just go and see what happens when you get there. Given that I didn’t put in the work to do number one, I was really happy to do number three. If you have absolutely know clue where you are or what’s out there, why pretend like you do? Instead, just get going. Who knows what you’ll find!

few hours of futile effort, one of us got snagged on a big log and was trying to get the lure out. A man walking along the bank stopped to talk to us and found out that we wanted to trout fish. He recommended another river (that shall remain nameless) about 20 minutes away. Over the following afternoon and morning, the three of us caught about 65 trout in this small little river. There’s a perfect example. If we hadn’t accidentally gone fishing on a river we had no business fishing on, and if we hadn’t gotten snagged on that log, that man may never have stopped to talk to us and give us his recommendation. And over the last year, we’ve taken three trips to that awesome little river we would otherwise have never known existed. 90 percent accident, 100 percent successful. It’s often hard to tell what fruit the accident will bear, but patience and flexibility are catalysts for success. Like I said before, just get going and see what you find. I bet it’ll be a beaut!

Is sleep for the weak?

have always been a night owl. In my college essay, I wrote about how being alone late at night was a space in which I felt peaceful and gathered my thoughts. My days were busy, so I liked these moments when my family retreated to sleep and I remained awake. I could unwind and let my thoughts wander. Rereading these words is amusing to me now. In some ways, not much has changed. I still stay up way past what is considered a reasonable time to go to bed, but these nighttime hours are

that ultimately many people would feel too stressed or busy to come when the date arrives. It’s ironic that they won’t have time for an event designed to promote health and stable habits. Allocating an hour or two for something not absolutely necessary would mean sleeping even less that night, although doing so would be more beneficial in the long run. There is something counterintuitive about this inverse relationship. From a personal standpoint, I would love to do yoga or learn to meditate, but

‘We are an Easter people!’

n Oct. 22, 1978, a striking, middle-aged Polish man named Karol Wojtyla looked out into the jubilant crowd in St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City. He had just taken the papal name John Paul II and was about to address the world at the inauguration Mass of his pontificate. He could have said many things, for he faced a world split by the Cold War, threatened by nuclear destruction, challenged by poverty and violence and confused by an increasingly pervasive moral relativism.

IMAGO DEI

far from tranquil. As an overscheduled student with too few hours in the day, often I work until 4 a.m. to awake a few hours later in order to accomplish what must get done. Although it is not ideal, I can function on this schedule. I am accustomed to this state of normalcy. Many of my close friends and tons of other students operate the same way, supplemented by 20-minute naps and unlimited coffee. All-nighters are nothing short of ordinary. When I come home to my apartment around 1 a.m., I am confident that at least two of my roommates will be awake and sitting at the kitchen table. There is some comfort in knowing I will have their company for moral support as we trudge onwards with our work. If I came home to a dark apartment, I would feel more strongly compelled to go to bed earlier, but we fuel each other’s dysfunction. We lament our habits and often resolve to improve them, yet we see no other area in our lives that can pick up the slack. A mantra exists that between sleep, good grades and a social life, college students must pick two and cut their losses on the third. It’s not a matter of being inefficient or dawdling during the day; we just have too many things on our plates. If sleeping more means doing less—whether that involves cutting back on extracurricular activities, dropping a job or not going out—many, myself included, are unwilling to make the concession. Sleep feels like the most dispensable of the three. I can always sleep more when I’m older, whereas the chance to take advantage of the social and academic experiences of college feels fleeting. It is only when I go home on breaks and fall asleep everywhere, at all times of the day—most notably during Thanksgiving and on a safari ride driving around the savannah—that I really feel my exhaustion catch up with me. Since sleep deprivation has affected me personally and I am interested in deconstructing this issue, I recently became involved with an event coming to Duke soon: #SleepRevolution, the Huffington Post’s sleep fair. It’s designed to provide information and activities related to wellness, sleep and mental health. I would expect students to be interested in the event, but as I posted in groups trying to recruit attendees, I knew

when can I be expected to pencil that in? I would love to read for pleasure, but with homework that is never fully finished, where does that fit? The to-do list doesn’t end, so it becomes difficult to justify adding anything that isn’t urgent. We college students know these activities would make us calmer, but the expectation that we can find time to incorporate them indicates that experts don’t really understand the problem. On rare days when I do pursue that leisure time, my sleep takes the hit. Getting extra sleep falls into the category of an enjoyable activity that can be done on a good day, alongside reading and Netflix. The prospect of completing something tangible always seems to outweigh gaining one more hour of sleep. College students crave outcomes and results. We place greater value on things we can measure. How might we value feeling well rested or less anxious? With no numbers attached, this becomes harder to judge and therefore harder to care about. We need to incentivize ourselves to actually force us to shift our behavior. My roommates and I joke we could create a chart logging our hours so that whoever sleeps least that week has to do the dishes—the most dreaded task in our apartment— although we still question whether we would change. College students will remain unwilling to change our individual habits as long as the cultural norms that create this pressure remain unchanged. Cultural attitudes existing within the bubbles of college campuses become contagious and pervasive. We live in small but intense worlds. We face a Prisoner’s Dilemma: while we could sacrifice our grades or social lives to get to bed earlier, we don’t want to do so when nobody else does. If you can’t beat them, sometimes you must join them, right? We need to keep up with the tide at its existing pace. Experts notoriously critique our generation, deeming us “Generation Stress,” which undoubtedly has merit. But instead of criticizing those stressed students for not removing themselves from this unhealthy atmosphere, perhaps people should more forcefully challenge the expectations that create it.

But he kept his message simple: “Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ!” Saint John Paul proclaimed the only lasting answer, the truth: Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God, crucified and risen from the dead, is alone the solution to our great afflictions because he alone has repaired the relationship between God and humanity and offered joy and peace to all. To our equally threatened world today, the same message rings true, for what is once true is always true: Open wide the doors to Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God, crucified and risen from the dead, for he alone has reunited us with God and each other, if only we accept and participate in his divine love. Today, Holy Thursday, begins the Easter Triduum, which includes Good Friday and runs through Easter Sunday. Over these high holy days, we honor the torture, suffering and death of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and celebrate his triumph over death in his bodily resurrection on Easter Sunday. Indeed, Christianity exists only because of the historical reality of the Triduum. To repeat: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday are not symbols, myths or fairy tales. They actually occurred, are reality and are thus true. And in two particular ways, they demonstrate, vividly and unmistakably, that Christ alone is the answer to the mystical question that is every human life: His universal solidarity with mankind and his renewal of our relationality with God and with each other. First, we learn that God is in unyielding, loving solidarity with all of humanity. Christ, the second Person of the Holy Trinity, is the Logos made flesh, the very “mind of God,” and all things come to be now and forever through him. In Christ, who is fully human and fully divine, God humbled himself to become one of us, taking on human form to reveal to humanity the extent of his love and of our own capax Dei, our capacity for God. On Holy Thursday and Good Friday, that solidarity reached the apex of its expression. Despite the agonizing human stress and temptation to act otherwise— causing him to sweat blood—Christ lovingly acquiesced to the will of his Father throughout the Passion: “Not my will but yours be done.” He thereby overcame the primordial error of Eden—our sinful desire to exalt ourselves, to become “like gods,” and to decide for ourselves good and evil. Christ, in accepting his Father’s will, entered the deepest throes of human suffering all the way unto death. He did so to repair our relationship with God that we ourselves had damaged by deifying self in the original Garden. Christ’s final utterances during his excruciating (literally, “ex cruce”—from the cross) death convey his complete solidarity with the suffering and sorrow of our world. In extreme anguish, he cried, just as each of us cries when we hit rock bottom, “My God,

my God, why have you abandoned me?” And nearing physical death, he pleaded, “I thirst,” just as we thirst so desperately when we, in our most acute need, seek relief. Yet despite suffering such torment, Christ still loved mercifully, even those who nailed his hands and feet to the cross: “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.” He showed that same loving mercy to the repentant criminal crucified to his side: “This day you will be with me in Paradise.” And he conferred a blessed maternal care on all of mankind through

Saint John the Evangelist: “Behold, your mother.” Finally, in declaring, “It is finished” and “unto you I commend my spirit,” he revealed that our lives and the inevitable challenges within them have a purpose, a plan for greatness. Second, Christ alone is the answer to the mystery of every human life because Christ alone overcame the inevitable enemy of human life: Death and the separation from God that death entailed prior to our redemption. Today, we can advance ourselves technologically, scientifically and medically, but we will never be able to eliminate our physical mortality or determine the fate of our immortal souls. On Easter, the Risen Christ, by his bodily resurrection, freed us from eternal death— the tragic separation from God that man himself had caused by deeming himself the arbiter of good and evil. Through the Resurrection, Christ destroyed the power of death to separate us from God, restored our relationship with God, and invited us to an everlasting life of union with our origin, our destiny and our joy: Christ himself, the source of all being and love. That redemption provides the blueprint for repairing our relationships with others, for Christ’s commandment is to love one another as God has loved us and as we love ourselves. The communion established by Christ’s resurrection means that we must relate to each other as personal subjects and not in terms of “categories” or as compilations of “intersectional” characteristics such as race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, etc. I am, for example, not only or even primarily a Duke senior of a certain background with a given GPA and a particular set of plans after graduation.. Rather, I am Wills Rooney, a unique imago Dei possessing a dignity and interiority irreducible to categories. As are you, the reader of this column. Speak your name, and know that you are more than a demographic profile, more than your accomplishments, your looks, your wealth and your social status, more than whatever society labels you, more than whatever Duke labels you. The love of God, so powerfully reflected through the historical facticity of the cross of Good Friday and the Resurrection of Easter Sunday, unites humanity and all of creation. It repairs, nourishes and fulfills us in our divine and human relations, all in stark contrast to the division and conflict that are sown by self-exalting power struggles, “identity” politics and the artificial categories of our world. Let us open wide the doors of our lives to the unifying love of the Risen Christ, turn upward in faith, hope and love and rejoice. As that remarkable contemporary saint, John Paul the Great, so often reminded us, “We are an Easter People, and Alleluia is our song!” Wills Rooney is a Trinity senior. His column runs on alternatue Thursdays.

LDOC from page 1

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Sophomore Grayson Allen is averaging 26.0 points so far in the NCAA tournament and will look to power the Blue Devils past top-seeded Oregon Thursday.

M. BASKETBALL from page 1 “That’s the main thing, and we need to take care of the ball,” Duke freshman Luke Kennard said. “Oregon is going to pressure the ball, they’re going to try to force turnovers against us, but we can’t allow that to happen. We need to be strong with the ball, take care of it and get good shots.” Sophomore Dillon Brooks is the key to the Ducks’ offense—the 6-foot-7 sophomore leads the team with 16.8 points and 3.1 assists per contest. At 225 pounds, Brooks has the frame to pound the ball inside as a stretch four and should present an intriguing matchup for Blue Devil freshman Brandon Ingram, who poses matchup problems in his own right and is Duke’s second-leading scorer at 17.1 points per game behind sophomore Grayson Allen, who will also command the Ducks’ full attention. A first team All-Pac 12 selection, Brooks earned high praise for his versatility on both

ends of the floor from Krzyzewski, who put the forward in the same company as ACC Player of the Year Malcolm Brogdon. Brooks has plenty of help from scorers Elgin Cook and Tyler Dorsey, who combine to average 28.3 points per game. But Oregon hangs its hat on defense, and the Ducks take great pride in making opposing offenses uncomfortable. Ingram—who has a 7-foot-3 wingspan and shoots 41.5 percent from beyond the arc—drew the attention of several Oregon players during their film sessions, and they are determined to throw all of their considerable depth into stopping Duke’s latest freshman star. “A guy who’s [6-foot-9], long like that, can dribble and shoot like that is always a problem. The ability to shoot 3-pointers and score baskets like that is the biggest thing that jumps off the table,” Benjamin said. “We have a lot of guys who can guard him for a couple plays, and just switch up the way we guard him. Elgin can guard him with physicality and maybe I come in with speed, but just the way we guard him is big.”

Where can I find the STINF form?

looking for the video,” Miller said. McLean also noted that the texting listserv will be used in the weeks and days leading up to LDOC to send reminders and updates. Last year’s LDOC concert included T-Pain, Jeremih, Spencer Bruno—a Duke senior and DJ whose stage name is Spencer Brown—and Misterwives. The announcement last year was met with some controversy as the committee faked the release of the lineup with a dramatic video intended to build student excitement. This year, the LDOC committee used Babco Entertainment as a middleman to help negotiate deals and give suggestions for artists that had been getting buzz within the industry.
