ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH YEAR, Issue 33

Dame’s Express continues menu expansion Claire Ballentine The Chronicle When it came to campus, Dame’s Express knew it would have to go beyond chicken and waffles to satisfy students. Now, the eatery is continuing menu expansion to keep business booming as the year wears on. Since Dame’s Express opened on Central Campus in August, it has been experimenting with different menu options—such as burgers, egg omelets and frittatas—while continuing to serve its signature dish of fried chicken and waffles. Among the new options will be more pasta, pizza and grab-and-go deli items as well as panko-crusted chicken tenders, Randy Wadsworth, the owner of Dame’s Chicken and Waffles, explained in an email. Wadsworth noted that Dame’s Express is continuing to adjust its menu to best meet students’ needs. “We are gradually expanding our menu to add more items,” he wrote. “We have not deleted or removed any items.” Other ways the restaurant hopes to expand its menu include integrating “additional chicken and waffles, Hispanic items and additional vegetarian options,” Wadsworth explained.

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Dame’s Chicken and Waffles owner Randy Wadsworth noted that explaining the “express” concept to some customers has been a challenge.

Senior Brian Taylor, chair of Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, explained that Dame’s has been analyzing and modifying its menu based on feedback throughout the semester.

“They’re trying to figure out what students like and don’t like,” he said. “So far, it’s been very positive.” Although Wadsworth reported that business has remained steady, several

students noted that the menu expansion is needed. “I love the things that are on it, but it could use just a little more,” sophomore Carly Seamon said. Sophomore Laura Guidera added that because Dame’s is the only restaurant on Central Campus, its menu items quickly became repetitive. Although some might have exhausted the vendor’s menu since classes started, Taylor noted that Dame’s position as the main vendor on Central Campus in place of Devil’s Bistro has actually contributed to its business. Even the presence of the Belgian Waffle Crafters food truck on West Campus—which serves a similar product— has not deterred students from visiting Dame’s, he said. Wadsworth noted that he thinks competition among businesses is healthy. “Unless they decide to sell chicken with their waffles, I don’t see any conflict,” he wrote. In addition to dining at the restaurant, an increased number of customers are taking advantage of their on-campus catering service, Wadsworth explained. See DAME’S MENU on Page 3

Edens 1C gaming suite set to debut Friday Samantha Neal The Chronicle Formerly a common destination for the losers of the housing lottery, Edens might now be the most technologically-advanced Quadrangle on campus. Edens’ new game room—located on the second floor of a glass addition to Edens 1C— features 10 computer gaming desktops and eight screens for Playstation, Wii and Xbox games, including four that are combined into one larger display. The gaming suite, officially called The Bolt, contains four XBox 1s, four Playstation 4s and a Wii U. Rick Johnson, associate vice president for student affairs for Housing, Dining and Residence Life, noted that the game room in a residence hall is one

of a kind, both on campus and nationwide. The room’s grand opening will be held Friday from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. “The game room was an idea that came up in the very beginning of planning of the Edens renovation,” Johnson said. “When we go into a renovation, we look at each community and set some goals. Some of the features that we added were added to meet those objectives.” Even though the game room was in initial plans for the Edens renovations, Johnson said that its inclusion in the project was questioned as the budget increased from $9 million reported at the beginning of the Summer to a final budget of $11 million. “There were people who said, ‘Let’s give up the game-room,’ but we said, ‘No, it’s so See GAME ROOM on Page 3

Duke scientists making algae biofuel more viable Teresa Meng The Chronicle A Duke University professor has been awarded a $5.2 million U.S. Department of Energy grant to explore ways of making algae a cost efficient fuel source. The Duke-led Marine Algae Industrialization Consortium, comprised of both universities and energy companies, aims to lower the cost he goal of algae oil, which can of the be used in place of fossil fuels. The team research is to is working to identify drive down algae proteins that can the cost of be used in proteinbased nutritional algae biofuel products in order to by increasing make the entire algae the value of farming process more proteins within cost-efficient. Zackary Johnson, Arthur algae. P. Kaupe assistant — Zackary professor of molecular biology in marine Johnson science, is the principal investigator of MAGIC and has been researching algae biofuels for eight years. “The goal of the research is to drive down the cost of algae biofuel by increasing the value of proteins within algae,” Johnson explained. Johnson and his team at MAGIC are trying to use multiple ways so that algae grown for biofuel extraction can also be sold after oil is extracted from the algae. Proteins in algae could be used for nutritional products such as poultry

feed, fish feed or even food for humans. Extracting and selling these proteins would lower the overall production cost of extracting oil from the algae. In the future, algae proteins as food sources might even be a sustainable approach to feed the world. Algae biofuel has the potential to become a major source of sustainable energy because it can be produced quickly, easily and in high quality,

Johnson said. Marine algae grow fast—with populations roughly doubling with every day of growth. Other biofuel sources, including agricultural crops such as corn, wheat and soybeans, grow very slowly. Algae also do not need fresh water, so marine algae farms can be located in areas that are not suitable for standard crops requiring fresh water. This gives algae and advantage over

other biofuels because water is a scarce resource in many areas and most of the planet’s agricultural land is already in use, Johnson explained. The biggest challenge that algae biofuels face now is one common to all alternative energy sources: high cost. “In the U.S.—a free market society— people buy the cheapest energy source,” Johnson said. Without environmental or market regulations for carbon emissions, price is the main barrier towards widespread use of clean energy. Currently, renewable energy sources are more expensive than fossil fuels unless the price of clean energy is subsidized. Johnson noted that while solar energy in particular has made much progress in the last five years and its price has dropped dramatically, no one renewable energy source has yet become broadly cheaper than traditional energy sources. As a result, MAGIC may be able to make algae a competitive source of energy. Algae oil has potential uses that other sources of renewable energy do not have. In addition to potentially being used for food and animal feed, Johnson explained that algae can produce an energy-rich fuel that can power aircraft. Since airplanes cannot currently be powered by electricity, solar and wind power are not currently viable options for aircraft fuel. “A question that I often get is, ‘will algae be the solution to our energy problems?’ The answer is no, but it will be part of the solution,” Johnson said. “I see wind, solar and biofuels as being part of the complete solution.”

unique and so cool, we need to keep it for the Edens residents,’” Johnson said. The new gaming facility will be open to all students. Johnson said that some games will be provided for students on both the computers and game consoles, but students will also be able to bring their own games into the suite. “This space will be good to meet other people who like gaming,” sophomore Harry Guo said. “Also since I’ll pass it by every day on my walk back to the dorm, it’ll be pretty relaxing to just stop by for half an hour or so just to chill and play some games.” Despite the excitement for the grand opening, some students note potential drawbacks. “It almost seems like a double-edged sword because it’ll be a great social hub but at the same time a danger to our grades,” sophomore Youlei Li said. Senior Eric Lam noted that most students who are gamers have their own console in their rooms, but the social aspect may attract organizations or individuals to meet in the space. In addition to the gaming suite, a first-floor study area with two conference rooms, a range of seating and an e-print station was opened in Edens 1C before Fall Break. The study rooms—with their mix of seating and study spaces—have already elicited praise from students for their setup and convenience. “It’s easy to focus here,” Lam said. “There are different distinctions, so it can fit different needs depending on what kind of projects you need to do.” Both the game room and study rooms are part of glass additions to Edens intended to integrate Edens residents into the community on West Campus by allowing transparency. “Now residents can look out into the

Alex Griffith The Chronicle At its meeting Wednesday, Duke Student Government Senate heard the first reading to bylaw changes which would overhaul the way the student body votes for senators and vice presidents. Senator for Academic Affairs Kushal Kadakia, a freshman, and Executive Vice President John Guarco, a junior, introduced changes to the election bylaw which would get rid of the instant runoff ballot currently in place in favor of a plurality system in which voters only have to choose candidates to fill the number of positions available, instead of ranking all candidates. In the plurality system, the two candidates who receive the highest number of votes would be elected. These changes follow the Fall 2015 freshman senator elections, in which only 19 percent of freshmen voted. “It’s better for us to have a fair system for people running for office and also make it more clear to students because I think student engagement is the most important thing,” said Kadakia. “What’s the point of being an elected official if your voters don’t know who they’re voting for or why they’re voting for them?” The new voting system is meant to address student complaints that the instant runoff ballot format is cumbersome and timeconsuming. Another complaint levied against the instant runoff is that it requires extensive knowledge of candidates in order to rank all of them, Guarco and Kadakia explained.

One of the main differences of the new plurality system is that it would only require students to choose candidates for the number of seats available. For example, if four candidates were running for two Senate seats, voters would only have to choose up to two of the candidates to fill those seats, unlike the instant runoff system in which students have to rank all candidates in order of preference. Kadakia noted that in order to win one of a student’s votes, candidates would have to campaign harder than in the past, when all candidates were guaranteed at least a part of a vote with the ranking system. “Hopefully this puts the onus on students to do a better job with campaigning,” Kadakia said. “I think that’s the most important thing because if we want to win our elections we should also do a better job of reaching out.” Senate will vote on whether to approve the changes after a second reading next week. In other business: DSG Senate moved $1,000 to the presidential discretionary account from the surplus fund, which makes up for the lack of an allocation in the 2015 budget. The statute was introduced by DSG Treasurer Gwen Geng, a sophomore. DSG Senate heard the first reading of changes to Student Organization Finance bylaw. The changes, if passed next week, will make FOAC responsible for holding hearings and resolving conflicts during student group misconduct and will also require presidential group pardons to be approved by two-thirds of the Senate.

community,” Johnson said. “We believe that transparency helps community.” Sophomore Orode Moju added that she likes the glass boxes because they provide natural light and provide a more open feel. To create more privacy, blinds can also be lowered. Johnson attributed the project’s earlier completion date to the hard work of Shelco, the construction company that was responsible for the project. Despite being open for only a week, students noted that the study rooms have already become a popular space to work. “I’ll study there if the rooms are ever open,” sophomore Ksenia Sokolova said.

DAME’s MENu from page 1 “We still desire to grow our customer base and continue to provide the foods and services the Duke population desires,” he wrote. “So there’s still potential for growth.” He explained that the biggest challenge Dame’s has faced so far is making customers understand the “express” concept and that Dame’s Express is different than the restaurant in downtown Durham. People often expect to see the exact same menu in both locations, Wadsworth wrote. Director of Dining Services Robert Coffey wrote in an email that Dame’s is building a good foundation with its team members and that the owners’ commitment to serve the Duke community has made them great partners with Duke Dining. “I’ve heard excellent feedback from students, faculty and staff that the food quality is wonderful and that they really enjoy having Dame’s on campus,” he wrote.

Follow your dreams, kids. You want to be an expert on Canada? There’s a minor for that. Part your hair on the left side for a change? Crazier things have happened (though not many). And there’s nothing like the overwhelming indeterministic sense of opportunity that comes with senior year to motivate you into some real raucous risk taking. You are a human. We have so much time. What else is there to do but try? Myself, I dreamed of reliving nightmare freshman audition sequences but with alternate outcomes, ending with my name on a cast list instead of being dismissed from the room mid-sentence. And this semester the stars and tides aligned, and I was cast in the Duke Players show Comic Potential, at long last my first acting role in which I have more than three lines (looking at you, eighth grade Peter Pan). Not to spoil anything, the play revolves around a future scenario in which television soaps are performed by robot androids who are programmed to act and recite the scripts written for them. One of the robots, Jacie Triplethree, begins to inexplicably find things funny of her own accord, and her humor and “personality” attract the attention of a writer who falls in love with her. In one of my favorite parts of the show, my character explains to the show’s director why this is technically and ethically problematic—“Love is a totally illogical process. Every neurological circuit in her head will be in conflict. She’ll probably selfdestruct.” Gee whiz, does that make sense to most of us who have felt such squishy feelings at some point in our lives. The questions raised by this story by Alan Ayckbourn are not just about what human qualities the robots are capable of emulating, but whether the humans are truly acting human as well. And in between memorizing lines, this robot business has given me a lot to

think about. Certain qualities in people are critiqued as robotic—an absence of emotion, overdependence on routine, failure to adapt. But what did they call these characteristics before Will Smith started putting out freaky future movies? “Thy lack of emotions maketh thee seemeth akin to a machinal property”? As humans invent new technologies, impressions of ourselves are recognizable in these objects, which bounce back to become impressions of technology recognizable in ourselves. Even though certain characters in the play are designated as living beings or not, much confusion and discussion emerged among Comic Potential’s cast and crew over how of our characters cross anthropological lines. In addition to the laughing android,

editor’s note some of the humans exhibit android-like tendencies. My character is a human robot programmer with a highly technical and logical mind, but her human starts showing as she becomes increasingly sentimental and soft-hearted as the robot romance unfolds before her. Others are prolonging their life with the use of technology, constantly reverting to old tendencies or, of course, falling in love with a mechanical object. Human and robot identities blur. It’s all very confusing and nebulous and the one thing that’s certain is that none of us is a turtle. For this uncertainty I am grateful, since never had I participated before in an extracurricular whereupon leaving the rehearsal site daily would I meditate,

“Whoa. Am I a robot?” And this absurd pondering has brought some unexpected unexpected understanding of self. Am I robot? Maybe. In real life, I am part batterypowered. Since I was five I’ve had hearing aids and am perpetually at the mercy of the longevity of Tic Tac-sized batteries, receding into the perils of one-way communication should one of them run out midday. Lots of nodding and laughing and hoping somebody isn’t asking a question. Without them, I am instantly more fallible and prone to mistakes. The tiny tech elevates me to more than my own human capabilities can provide. Other internal parts of me are similarly mechanical—suppressing emotions during finals week; automatically restarting Vampire Weekend CDs as soon as they end; reflexively declining invitations to events starting before 10 a.m. And, like Jacie Triplethree, if someone cute comes up to talk to me after class, I’ll probably selfdestruct. And yet others parts are assuredly not—feeling brand new whenever fall comes around in Durham; forgetting and then remembering the thrill of perfect black coffee; trying out for plays despite prior evidence pointing to “no.” In Wes Anderson’s immaculate film “Moonrise Kingdom,” while backstage at a play the boy protagonist asks the costumed girl of his affections, “What kind of bird are you?” It’s an oddly dramatic moment of unassuming significance that instantly ties their minds together in a room full of feathered onlookers. It’s not just about her costume; it’s what kind of bird she is, what qualities make her a raven over a peafowl, where she dreams of flying to. Being in a play about robots provokes a similar investigation of identity, but with slightly different phrasing—“What kind of machine are you?” —Georgia Parke

Pinhook showcases rap lineup Thursday with local special guests

Latin pop artist Ricky Martin to visit Duke Performing Arts Center In the past, the Durham Performing Arts Center, the largest performing arts center in the Carolina’s, has experienced the pulsating energy of hundreds of individuals gathering together to experience the music of artists artist from a variety of musical genres. The

center will be filled with the unique sounds of Latin beats as internationally renowned Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin takes the stage Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. This concert is part of his One World Tour, which will visit three continents and play a total of 70 shows to complement the release of his latest studio album, A Quien Quiera Escuchar. Both new and longtime fans alike will be able to experience an live performance of some of his best known works, along with a compilation of newly released original songs. While this may be the first time Ricky Martin will perform in Durham, he has packed hundreds of concerts around the globe since his debut as part of the Latin band Menudo in 1977.

On view through September 18, 2016

Throughout the Pinhook’s lifespan, the venue has hosted an amazingly eclectic mix of local and national bands but has been surprisingly lacking in the hip-hop/ rap area. Today, however, that all changes, with “The Underground Collective presents: OverTone Music Showcase,” an event happening at the Pinhook tonight, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m., including 10 rappers to be announced and featuring special guests Mic Savvy and DJ Merlin. In spite of tonight’s deviation from the venue’s typical rock-inspired sound, it has stuck to its roots in primarily featuring North Carolina natives for this showcase. Mic Savvy is an MC, producer and musician hailing straight from Raleigh, NC who has been an integral part of the city’s hip-hop scene since his debut single “Mic Savvy - M-I-C-S-A-V-V-Y” in 2004. Described as a “positive, talented, multifaceted artist who works hard to bring all types of musical genres and talents together” by Amy Lee Roth of Social Magazine, the artist promises to deliver a one-of-a-kind show tonight at the Pinhook. Joining him will be Triangle native DJ Merlin, who has previously collaborated with other Raleigh/Durham DJs to produce a comprehensive setlist including but not limited to remixes of rock n’ roll classics such as Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Miss Lover” and The Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams.” IndyWeek’s Eric Tullis describes him as “Triangle turntable royalty,” and with such a distinct sound, the artist is sure to be hard to top. Although none of the other names of the artists performing tonight have been released, the strength of the existing lineup hints that this showcase will be

regrettable to miss. Hopefully, this show foreshadows an increase in hip-hop and rap at the Pinhook and other like-minded venues in the Triangle area. Hip-hop has always been an integral part of the culture of North Carolina, with NC natives such as J. Cole having become big names worldwide, and the Pinhook’s recognition of the genre will hopefully stimulate the industry and inspire a resurgence of the music within the city.

A different spin on history in Hoof’n’Horn’s ‘Assassins’

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Hoof’n’Horn actors rehearse Wednesday night for their production of ‘Assasins,’ detailing the inner lives of some of history’s most famous assassins.

Jessica Williams The Chronicle Hoof ‘n’ Horn is shining a light this Fall on some of the most detested figures in American history. A musical from composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, Hoof ‘n’ Horn’s Fall production “Assassins” follows the lives of people who tried—and sometimes succeeded— to kill American presidents. From John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley Jr., the musical exposes the stories behind the killers and the reasons they chose the paths they did, with the music matching each particular era. The show premieres Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. Rather than glamorizing or demonizing the killers, “Assassins” gives the audience a personal view of why they tried to kill the most powerful man in America. The musical brings the audience closer to the characters’ emotions and exposes their humanity more than mere facts can. “From the outset, it’s a very controversial-sounding show,” said director Wesley Caretto, a sophomore. “But when you

watch it, you notice they’re not being praised or criticized.” Although the show is dark, it explores the assassins’ hidden motives with humor. From macabre jokes to a joyful song about a hanging, “Assassins” provides a new look on history that is both dismal and entertaining. “People are going to have a much different perspective on the assassins. Many are labeled as mentally ill, but here they’re given a voice,” said music director Max Duncan, a junior. In experiencing a more personal view of the assassins than the stuff of history books, the audience is given a more comprehensive look into their stories. The assassins aren’t portrayed as villains, but rather as misguided people with their own problems. They all portray how the American Dream can go wrong, and how troubling such a disillusionment can be. “As Duke students, we’re spoon-fed the American Dream. This show shows that it doesn’t always go from A to B to C,” Duncan said. By focusing on different eras of American history, “Assassins” depicts how views of the American Dream have

tickets are $9 for students. changed over time, as well as how it is a fable that often ends poorly. Each assassin finds this out in their own ways, and responds with their own varieties of insanity. “It’s cool being able to look up characters in the play and find information,” said lead actor and freshman David Pfeiffer. “There’s something powerful in playing a person who was actually alive.” Based off of real people and events, “Assassins” takes already known facts about American history and shows them through another lens. It exposes the humanity behind the history books, and tells a side of the stories that would be hidden otherwise. One example of this is in Samuel Byck’s monologue, when the would-be assassin of Richard Nixon goes on a diatribe about his personal issues. “You see straight into that character’s motives, and why they did what they did,” Duncan said. “You also see how a nation copes with devastation, something you can’t tell from the history books.” In addition to providing new insights into the past, “Assassins” also puts violence into a different perspective. “A message behind the show has to do with people using violence to achieve goals. When we look at a history of mass shootings, with questions of motives and identity, “Assassins” can be informative on those issues,” Caretto said. With a more impactful story than many of Hoof ‘n’ Horn’s more recent shows, like “Hair” and “Legally Blonde,” “Assassins” is an absorbing new view of history students won’t want to miss. Because of its fun music and thought- provoking plot, “Assassins” is one of the most meaningful musicals out there. It touches on themes not easily discussed, such as violence and loneliness, in a serious yet humorous way that leaves the audience with a new perspective on facts that would otherwise show only one side of the story. “It has a message you absolutely won’t find elsewhere,” Caretto said. “You walk out of the theater with all these ideas floating in your head.”

New Nasher exhibit highlights artists of African descent Lucy Zhang The Chronicle Right in the entrance of the Nasher’s “Reality of My Surroundings” exhibition is an overwhelming exposure to sparkles and color. A viewer’s eyes are immediately and inevitably drawn to artist Ebony G. Patterson’s sparkling canvas, “...shortly after 8- beyond the bladez,” on the right. On the left, Fahamu Pecou’s “Nunna My Heroes” depicts a confident black man wearing Superman’s iconic suit. The “Reality of My Surroundings” exhibition primarily consists of works by artists of African descent, focusing on cultural, social, and gender related issues. Beyond the initial glamor that is presented in the first room of the exhibition, from the dazzling material reflected in Patterson’s work to the sophisticated looking man in a suit in Jeff Sonhouse’s “Decompositioning,” the severity of the images manifests clearly upon closer look. Such a characteristic of the art in the exhibit forces, quite fittingly, a new perspective on the reality of one’s surroundings. This perspective is particularly significant, poignant and relevant in modern culture and society. “This is a critical moment where we have to acknowledge and deal with the unjust racial violence against people of color in this country and world-wide,” Nasher museum chief curator Trevor Schoonmaker said. “Social media and the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement have really helped bring awareness to this issue over the past year.” The exhibit, however, does not solely touch on the racial implications and tensions that are portrayed through works by artists of African descent. The breadth of the art pieces extends broadly into many facets of human culture, including works from artists all over the world and touching on themes such as sexual violation, the scars of internment camps and brutality of war. Schoonmaker described the exhibition as a form

of “global conversation” in which the art collection can provoke thought and promote discussion and change. “Artists are always the first to see and interpret what is going on in the world around us, good and bad, commenting on aspects of our contemporary or past environment by finding their own unique visual expression,” said museum director Sarah Schroth. Schroth elaborated on the various mediums of expression, including direct personal references, imagery referring to a specific event or period in time, and cultural issues and symbols. Art pieces also employ ironic humor but also expressions of great beauty. Walking through the exhibit itself creates an explorative and developmental journey. The particular order and categorization of the pieces in each room work to stimulate questions and new ways of thought about each piece as an individual work and as a collective grouping. “Any non-linear exhibition can be hung a number of ways, but a curator strives to create meaningful conversations between specific works that help render insightful and/or unexpected readings of those works, while still always being visually cohesive and harmonious,” Schoonmaker said. “Placing Steve McQueen’s ‘Girls, Tricky’ video at the beginning is purposeful, positioning it as the heartbeat of the exhibition. It is one of our new acquisitions.” Perhaps the most stunning of the art pieces, “...shortly after 8- beyond the bladez” utilizes a mix of mediums including glitter, fabric and rhinestones to depict a scenery of verdant flora and dreamlike background. Beneath the almost ostentatious design, however, is a black man lying down, spread eagle on a red path, a stark contrast against the surrounding green. The red conjures up images of blood and violence while the man seems powerless and victimized by it, evoking one of the exhibit’s core themes of “bringing visibility to the often marginalized.” Similarly, Fahamu Pecou’s “Nunna My Heroes” probes beyond the surface image of a brave, heroic

black Superman. Based on Barkley Hendricks’ 1969 painting “Icon for My Man Superman,” “Nunna My Heroes” depicts the artist Pecou himself as a Superman. His body language and position show him revealing his Superman attire underneath his suit, but the visible portions of his face portray a distinct frown, as though slightly confused or irritated. The top quote “Aint nuthin but a sandwich” seems to emphasize a meaninglessness behind the numerous layers that Pecou has on, from the Superman clothing to his own skin color. As though to drive the point through, in the caption there is political activist Bobby Seale’s quote “Superman never saved any black people.” Further into the exhibit, the works begin to touch upon other themes and topics. In one section of the exhibit, a sculpture of several pairs of hands gripping barbed wire reflects the intensity and strife from internment camps during the Holocaust. This piece, “If the Leader Only Knew” by Hank Willis Thomas, displays a carefully individual precision to detail, ranging from the different creases and sizes of hands to the attention to various cuffs that the person might be wearing around their wrists. However, there is also a broader, more general message that seems to memorialize the instant. One of the most jarring paintings, Marlene Dumas’ “The Woman of Algiers,” is displayed in the last room of the exhibit, showing a nude woman being held by the wrists by two soldiers with large, conspicuous black censor bars. The painting is an interpretation of a photo of a woman in a similar position during the Algerian civil war. The expressive brush strokes and few colors leave the identities of the three individuals lost, but focuses almost brutally on the violation and speculation of the woman’s fate. What is the reality of one’s surroundings? “Reality of My Surroundings” points to an ambiguous answer found somewhere between looking at what is directly in front and seeing beyond the medium into an emotional level of acknowledgment.

MUSIC REVIEW: Alex G, ‘Beach Music ’ Christy Kuesel The Chronicle Alex Giannascoli, known artistically as Alex G, has released seven full-length albums, with his most recent album“Beach Music” debuting earlier this month on Oct. 9. His first six albums were self-recorded, but “Beach Music” was released in collaboration with Domino Records. Giannascoli, hailing from Philadelphia, began his music career as a bedroom singer-songwriter but has managed to accumulate a large following over the past several years. In “Beach Music,” Giannascoli stays in keeping with his eerie, indie rock style, using a variety of string and percussion instruments to produce a unique,

haunting sound. The album opens with a short intro piece, which combines different instruments to produce a jarring feeling, forcing the listener to pay attention to what they are hearing and prepare for the rest of the album. All of the songs contain heavy string elements, in addition to keeping a slow tempo. As a result, many of the songs blend into each other, which allows for easy listening, but also produces a stale feeling for some of the tracks. Many of the lyrics strive to be more eccentric than relatable, leaving the listener perplexed as to what Giannascoli is actually singing about. That being said, there are a couple of stand-out pieces on the album. “Bug,” undoubtedly the best track, is one of the more upbeat pieces due to its use of a catchy melody. The track becomes downright

strange towards the end, as Giannascoli alters his voice electronically to become whinier and more high-pitched. “Brite Boy” produces a much more whimsical feeling than any other track, proclaiming “Brite Boy/I can help you/If you let me/Be your wife.” Its constant strumming allows listeners to sing along to the fairly simplistic lyrics. “In Love” also stands out, as Giannascoli adapts his voice to sound more like warbling. The sound this produces, in addition to the use of piano and trumpet, produces an old-timey, bluesy effect not found anywhere else on the album. The album draws to a close with “Snot,” a rather disappointing finish to an already only satisfactory album. While “Snot” encompasses the same strings and drums from many of the other songs, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. The album merely fades out instead of ending with a bang, leaving the listener to feel unsatisfied with the recording. Overall, “Beach Music” is a fine addition to the collection of any indie rock enthusiast, but the cohesion of the album can easily make the album appear repetitive to some listeners. The album accomplishes its goal of being unique and easy to listen to but does not appeal to a wider audience.

Special to The Chronicle

PREVIEWS from page 7 Although his first and second Spanish studio albums after departing from Menudo achieved great success in Latin America, his third Spanish album, “A Medio Vivir,” launched him as an international star. The album, primarily “traditional Latin sounds” but integrated various other musical styles, was a drastic change from his previous ballad-influenced melodies. The album sold over 3 million copies worldwide and produced the number one hit single “Maria.” In order to enter the English-speaking music market in the United States, Martin released his first English album Ricky Martin in 1999. The album included his biggest worldwide hit, “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” and was nominated for various Grammy Awards. Today, “Living La Vida Loca” is generally recognized as the catalyst for the Latin pop explosion of 1999, and paved the way for other Spanish speaking artists. In addition to being an influential figure in the music industry, Ricky Martin has become an LGBT symbol and an activist for many social justice issues. He worked alongside the United Nations to promote children rights before the U.S. House International Relations Committee and is actively involved in the Ricky Martin Foundation, a nonprofit child advocacy organization he created in 2002. Through his music and activism, Ricky Martin continues to be a forerunner in bringing Latin American culture and music to the public. As the day to the concert draws nearer, audiences can forward to experiencing first hand the energetic fusion of horns, percussion, guitar riffs and traditional Latin rhythms that has characterized his success in encouraging interest in Latin American music and culture and has united individuals across the globe.

DEFENSE SHINES AT HALFWAY POINT Seth Johnson The Chronicle

One word describes the Blue Devil defense this season—dominant. Despite preseason worries that the losses of linebacker Kelby Brown and cornerback Bryon Fields to ACL injuries—as well as the departure of pivotal players such as David Helton— would damper any hopes of capturing the ACC Coastal Division title this season, Duke has proven itself on the defensive side of the ball at the season’s midseason mark. With six games in the rearview mirror, the Blue Devils are 5-1 with an undefeated conference record, and have nabbed a spot in the top 25 heading into their bye week. “We’ve got one of the top defenses in the country,” defensive tackle Carlos Wray said. “I’ve actually seen some things on ESPN about it, but I think we just do [well] working together. I think we just have a lot of fun when we’re out on the field. It’s just us working together in practice to take it to Saturdays.” Duke ranks fourth in total defense, allowing just 252.8 yards per game and 3.8 yards per play. Against two tripleoption teams—Georgia Tech and Army—known for gashing opposing defenses on the ground, the Blue Devils held strong, allowing just 173 and 113 rushing yards, respectively. The most imposing statistic may be the lack of chances that opposing offenses have had to score. Through six games, Duke has only allowed its opponents to travel into the red zone seven times,

giving up just two touchdowns and three field goals in the process. “It’s something that [defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and I] talked about and it’s something that we were looking forward to, even before camp,” Wray said. “Just even in the summer working together, we were like, ‘Wow, we can be great on defense.’” Even though Wray returned as the only starter along the defensive front from a year ago, the defensive line has proven formidable in the trenches. The second defensive tackle, redshirt junior A.J. Wolf, has shown that he can be a force up front as well. Through the first half of the season, Wolf and Wray each have 22 total tackles and have combined for 1.5 sacks.

“A.J. has just turned the tide,” Wray said. “With years comes growth and he’s turned into a grown man, that’s all it is.... He’s done a great job developing into just a dominator.” The most dominant player on Knowles’ defense remains safety Jeremy Cash. The redshirt senior has propelled the defense to another level this season, racking up 47 total tackles, three forced fumbles and seven quarterback hits. His 11.5 tackles for loss are tied for fifth most in the nation, and his ability to be in seemingly every place on the field at once has made him a terror for opposing offenses. Redshirt junior DeVon Edwards has been nearly as terrifying in the secondary as well. The Covington, Ga., native has 40 total tackles, one sack and one interception

alongside Cash. Edwards has also reminded the country why he was an All-American kickoff returner in 2013 and 2014, returning seven kicks for 278 yards and two touchdowns entering the bye week—tied for the most scores in the nation. But the Duke defense is as hard on itself as it has been on its opponents. “I’ve got to focus on my eyes and stuff, because I get caught in the backfield a lot looking at a quarterback rather than reading my keys,” Edwards said. “I could have done a lot better just by focusing on the little things. I’ve gotten away from that, and that’s just been my focus this past couple of games. Going against a wing-T, that’s helped me. That gets you back on your keys, focusing on the guy that you’re supposed to be watching.” Even with the bye week approaching and more than a week before ACC play resumes, taking time to identify weaknesses on the field and working to fix them off the field is key for continued success down the road—even if it is just a few little improvements. With Virginia Tech and Miami ahead on the schedule—two teams that already have a loss in conference play—Duke is looking to close out the season one game at a time and hopefully take a trip to Charlotte for the ACC championship for the second time in three seasons. “I’m kind of a hard critic. I would give us an A- just because we haven’t gotten as many sacks as we wanted to, but we’re going to go get them. We’re not worried about that,” Wray said. “We knew during camp that this could be ‘that’ team.... There’s no telling where we’re going to go.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Blue Devils seek marquee win at North Carolina Drew Johnson The Chronicle Duke will look to grab the Tar Heels by the horns this week and steer itself toward a redeeming NCAA tournament berth. The Blue Devils will make the short trip to Chapel Hill to face No. 7 North Carolina Friday at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field. Duke Duke is coming off a hard-fought trip to vs. Louisville, Ky., that No. 7 ended in a scoreless UNC tie but included some FRIDAY, 7 p.m. promising offensive Fetzer Field signs. The Blue Devils quadrupled the Cardinals’ shot total— outshooting them 24-6—and will aim to carry their positive momentum into Friday’s match against the Tar Heels. “It’s a little frustrating, especially for the players because I think we’re in a

really good place,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “I think we’re at the best place we’ve been at all year now. I think the kids are really working hard on both sides of the ball.” The matchup has extra meaning not only because it marks a new chapter of a classic rivalry, but also because Duke finds itself in a position to prove itself to the NCAA tournament selection committee. If the Blue Devils defeat one of the top teams in the nation come Friday, they will move one step closer to returning to NCAA postseason action after a 2014 campaign that left Duke without a spot in the tournament for the first time since 2002. North Carolina (11-2-1, 4-2-0 in the ACC) is returning from a disappointing two-game road stretch during which it lost its first two matches of the season. The Tar Heels stood atop the national rankings before their recent skid, but have since plunged six spots. Still undefeated at home, North Carolina packs a high-powered offense that falls just

outside the top 10 nationally in goals scored per game with 2.5. Despite leading the ACC with 308 shots taken this season and ranking fourth nationally in shots per game, the Blue Devils (7-4-4, 1-2-3) average only 1.7 goals per game, so the Duke offense will need to improve its efficiency in order to come away with a win. Church said he hopes that his team will be able to capitalize on the scoring chances presented to them. “We’re creating the opportunities,” Church said. “This is actually the first time I remember in 15 years that we’re leading the ACC in shots, but our shot-to-goal ratio is not very good. It’s taking us way too many shots to score goals, and that came to bite us [against Louisville].” The Blue Devils will also need a strong showing from their stalwart defense that has performed at a high level all season. Duke already touts nine shutouts and has held its opponents to an average of 0.7 goals per

FIELD HOCKEY

Duke seeking to exact revenge on Tar Heels Hank Tucker The Chronicle

The last time the Blue Devils faced their biggest rival, North Carolina ended Duke’s season in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. The Blue Devils can avenge that loss when they travel to Chapel Hill this weekend. Friday’s match at Henry Stadium at 6 p.m. pits No. 4 Duke against the No. 3 Tar Heels in one of the most important games of the year for both teams. The Blue Devils have a lot of momentum with a No. 4 six-game winning streak, Duke but North Carolina is vs. also on a roll with seven No. 3 wins in a row. The pride UNC that accompanies any FRIDAY, 6 p.m. win in this rivalry will be Henry Stadium magnified for the team that can extend its streak Friday. No. 4 “It’s a conference Duke matchup, and obviously vs. it’s Carolina so I think No. 18 the motivation factor is JMU there—it’s automatic,” SUNDAY, 1 p.m. Duke head coach Pam JMU Field Hockey Complex Bustin said. “Last year… there were some unfortunate losses there that I thought we played some really good hockey, but it’s a new year [with] two different teams and it’s always an exciting game.” Duke (10-3, 2-2 in the ACC) lost to the Tar Heels three times last year, including the 3-0 NCAA tournament defeat and a controversial 2-1 overtime

loss in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament. After a collision in the circle during the overtime period, North Carolina was awarded a penalty stroke that was upheld after a video review, and the Tar Heels (11-1, 3-1) capitalized to score the go-ahead goal. The Blue Devils also dropped the regular season matchup in Durham 1-0. The familiarity between these two teams extends beyond this game experience. Duke midfielder Aileen Johnson’s sister—Shannon Johnson—is the North Carolina goalkeeper, and Blue Devil midfielder Alyssa Chillano’s cousin—Gab Major—is a sophomore forward for the Tar Heels. Players on both teams have also played together on clubs in high school and during the offseason.

“You do know the opponent a little bit better than you know some other opponents, whether it’s through the U.S. system, through the clubs, through families or just how close we are regionally here,” Bustin said. “They do a lot of U.S. training here, so it just makes it for a really good game.” Duke enters Friday’s game with a defense that has been dominant during its winning streak. Bustin’s squad has shut out three of its last four opponents, and it boasts the last two ACC Defensive Players of the Week—Chillano and redshirt senior goalkeeper Lauren Blazing, who made 11 saves last weekend and only gave up one goal to help Duke to close victories against then-No. 10 Boston College and then-No. 17 Boston University. This defensive unit will be put to the test

against North Carolina, which has one of the most explosive offenses in the nation. The Tar Heels have scored eight goals in each of their last three games and have not been held to fewer than two goals all season. Major is tied for the ACC lead in both points and goals scored, boasting 28 points and 11 goals on the season. Senior midfielder Emily Wold also ranks tied for fifth in the conference with nine goals. “They’re skilled and experienced, so that’s a good combination to have,” Bustin said. “But…our defensive unit has been playing strong and continues to get better, so it should be a good matchup.” Although Bustin’s squad is fourth in the national rankings, it is fifth in the league standings due to early-season losses to Wake Forest and Virginia. The only two conference matches Duke has left are against North Carolina and Syracuse—the top two teams in the ACC. A win in one or both of these games would be critical for the Blue Devils to improve their potential seeding as postseason play looms. After Friday’s match, Duke will travel to Harrisonburg, Va., to play No. 18 James Madison Sunday at 1 p.m. The Dukes (11-3) have won five in a row and are unbeaten in their conference, which puts them in good position to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Duke beat James Madison in a close 3-2 game at home last year. “What’s important is that we take one game at a time, and we prepare for Carolina knowing that we have a game on Sunday just like every other weekend,” Bustin said. “When Carolina’s over, that’s over, and then we have to lock into taking care of the next game.”

get two players there, so that will be a big emphasis for us this week.” Church noted that for the Blue Devils, much of the challenge will be mental rather than physical. North Carolina is an intimidating team that Duke cannot shy away from if it wants to bring a win back to Durham. “They’re a very physical team, they’re a very aggressive team. We have to handle that physicality really well, and that’s going to be a big key,” Church said. “[Our] tactics are important on both sides of the ball, but mentally we have to handle that physicality that they have and not let that take us out of the rhythm of our game.”

The Blue Devils will need to keep an eye out for North Carolina forward Jessica Scarpa, a 2014 All-ACC freshman team selection who leads the team with 18 points this season. “We’re not going to change anything for them. We’ve got one of the top defenses in the country…. We just [have to] play defensively like we have been doing,” Church said. “Because Carolina is so quick and fast, you can’t defend with just one player, you have to make sure you
