enters Central
apt. Sunday David Wohlever The Chronicle Two Central Campus residents reported spotting an unknown male in their apartment and two missing laptops early Sunday morning. The activity on Central that occurred at approximately 6:30 a.m. was reported to students, faculty and staff with a DukeAlert notification in accordance with the Clery Act shortly after 8 a.m. The alert is the fourth to be sent since late July, third regarding crime on Central Campus and first since the University doubled security on Central in early September. In the alert, the male who was reportedly in the apartment was described as a college-age white male with a thin build and short hair who was wearing a t-shirt and blue jeans. It also stated that there was no sign of forced entry in the apartment, and DUPD confirmed that the burglar was unarmed.

Jack Dolgin The Chronicle When the lights went down and the curtain went up, this year’s expectations were officially enshrined in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke unveiled its 2015 NCAA championship banner Saturday at its annual Countdown to Craziness event, showing off the final piece of hardware the Blue Devils brought back from Indianapolis in April. After spotlighting each of the program’s first four national championship banners—including
repeat titles in 1991 and 1992—Duke hit the court to take the first step toward hanging a sixth one next year. “I was close to tearing up out there,” sophomore guard Grayson Allen said. “It was just a feeling I can’t describe with words… watching the fifth banner light up, and just running out there again. There’s nothing like it.” With the banner on full display, Duke scrimmaged for two 12-minute halves, with players from both teams switching sides during the game. The White team defeated the Blue squad in both intra-squad halves by scores of 27-21 and 22-18.
Senior Amile Jefferson led all scorers with 13 points across both halves and converted four of his five field goal attempts. Making his Cameron Indoor debut, highlytouted freshman Brandon Ingram scored nine points—all in the first half—without committing a turnover. Prior to the on-court action, the video board showed highlights from Duke’s 6863 win against Wisconsin in April’s national title game. Although fans got to relive the excitement of the championship, it also served as reminder that the Blue Devils will look much different this year.

Allen—the only member of the Class of 2018 to return for his sophomore year—did not hit a field goal in the first half but, like he did in the second half against the Badgers, heated up down the stretch. The Jacksonville, Fla., native went 4-for-8 from the field and finished with 10 points in the final stanza, including six in a row that brought the White squad back from an early five-point deficit.
