THE CHRONICLE

It may have all started with a case of the fits.

As James B. Duke sat watching a power plant being built in Marion, N.C.—a small town about 180 miles away from where Duke University now stapds—a small boy approached the future benefactor of the University.

“Mister, can you cure fits?” the boy asked.

Although the secretaries and engineers around Duke found the boy amusing, the tobacco magnate took an interest in the child and demanded the boy, who reportedly was afflicted with epilepsy, receive medical care.

Even though it is not known who the boy was or when exactly the exchange occurred, University lore holds that this moment stirred Duke’s interest in rural medicine.

In 1925, one year after Duke earmarked the funds that would turn Trinity College into Duke University, he donated money to establish Duke University Hospital, School of Nursing and School of Medicine, the precursor to the Duke University Medical Center.

Duke Hospital opened its doors to patients July 21,1930.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The School ofMedicine, a critical part of Duke's medical community, opened in 1930.

On its first day, 17 ofits 400 beds were filled.

This year DUMC is observing the 75th anniversary of Duke medicine and its evolution from a regional hospital to a worldrenowned center for research and global health care.

This story about the foundations of the University's medical community is the first in an occasional series commemorating the 75th anniversary of medicine at Duke. The Chronicle will run the series throughout the year.

False report! ng aids CIA crim nalcase by

John Solomon

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff apparently gave New York Times reporter Judith Miller inaccurate information about where Valerie Plame worked in the CIA, a mistake that could be important to the criminal investigation.

Miller’s notes say I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby told her on July 8, 2003, that the wife of George W. Bush’s administration critic Joseph Wilson worked for the ClA’s Weapons Intelligence, Non-Proliferation and Arms Control unit.

Flame, Wilson’s wife, never worked for WINPAC, which is on the overt side of the CIA. She worked on the ClA’s secret side, the directorate of operations, according to three people familiar with her work for the spy agency.

The three all spoke on condition of anonymity, citing Special Prosecutor Patrick

Fitzgerald’s ongoing grandjury investigation into the leak of Flame’s identity in 2003.

Whatever Fitzgerald decides, any public statements he makes will be made in Wash-

ington, rather than in Chicago, where he is based as U.S. attorney, spokesperson Randall Samborn said.

President Bush declined to say Monday whether he would remove any aide under indictment. “I’m not going to prejudge the outcome of the investigation,” he said.

Pentagon officials looked into Miller’s claim that she had a security clearance while working as an embedded reporter during the Iraq war, shordy before her conversations with Libby. “For a security clearance you have to go through any number of specific background investigative checks,” said Pentagon spokesperson Bryan Whitman. He said reporters who were embedded with military units during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars signed ground rules.

Nearly two years after his capture, Saddam Hussein is finally facing trial for alleged crimes against fellow Iraqis. In some ways, Iraq also will be on trial, with the world watching to see whether its new ruling class can rise above politics and prejudice and give the former dictator a fair hearing.

SASS sponsors Dating Violence Awareness Week by

Erin Lewis

THE CHRONICLE

Sexual Assault Support Services hosted a screening of the film Searchingfor Angela Shelton Tuesday night as a part of Dating Violence Awareness Week. The showing of the documentary is one of several events this week that organizers hope will generate more discussion about dating and domestic violence.

Searching for Angela Shelton follows filmmaker Angela Shelton as she visits women all over the country who share her name.

Out of the 40 women contacted, she found out that 24—like herself—had been sexually abused. The Angela Sheltons interviewed were geographically diverse and represented many different religious, ethnic and economic backgrounds.

“We represent the women in America,”

Shelton said in her documentary. The film f ocuses on the recovery of each abused Angela Shelton and the different ways each woman dealt with her abusive past. The filmmaker describes their recovery stories as “inspiring and uplifting.”

SASS coordinator Jean Leonard credits the film with highlighting the fact that sexual violence happens to women from many different social classes and affects people of all ethnicities.

“Many people at Duke think, ‘This won’t happen to me,’” she said. “This film helps people realize domestic violence’s prevalence.”

The organizers of the week-long event hope to change the way people on campus view domestic violence.

ods better described the atmosphere’s delayed response to solar heating and filtered out temperature-changing effects from the sun unassociated with global warming, they claimed.

“The actual role of solar variability is very contentious because the evidence is contentious,” said Thomas Crowley, professor at the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences. “Sometimes you find lots of evidence and sometimes you don’t.”

Scafetta and West stressed that their findings do not completely contradict the previous evidence that global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases linked to human production.

Although these causes do play a role, their research indicates the sun’s direct role in global warming has been underestimated, Scafetta and West said.

“If the solar activity increased during the last 25 years, this means that we cannot neglect the solar activity for evaluating the global warming phenomenon,” Scafetta added.

Crowley said he does not believe the findings will radically revise the current thinking on global warming.

“It will require the climate modeling community to look at the way they configure and estimate the amount of global warming,” he said.

Scafetta and West hope their findings will increase understanding of what has happened in

Despite old evidence suggesting that greenhouse gases and pollution cause global warming, new research by two Duke physicists indicates that the sun may simply be getting hotter.

Inspired by research from Columbia University indicating that current data on solar output was erroneous, Nicola Scafetta, research associate in Duke’s physics department, and Bruce West, adjunct physics professor, examined solar changes over the past 22 years to determine the sun’s direct role in global warming.

What they found contradicted previous thoughts and studies regarding global warming trends.

Since the 1980 s scientists have believed that global warming was not influenced by increased heating from the sun.

“The sun may have minimally contributed about 10 to 30 percent of the 1980 to 2002 global surface warming,” Scafetta and West said in their report, which was published Sept. 28 in Geophysical Research Letters, an online research journal. This contribution to global warming is higher than what researchers

previously thought.

Scafetta and West said the 22year interval they used was longer than the time studied by most current researchers, which allowed for more accurate results.

Scafetta and West introduced new statistical methods to test their hypothesis. The new meth-

warming and solar output during the last century.

“For now, if our analysis is correct, I think it is important to correct the climate models so that they include reliable sensitivity to solar activity,” Scafetta said in the report.

Despite this new research, many unknowns regarding global warming still exist.

probably depends on natural effects, and the strength of these effects is unknown, Scafetta noted.

“If I were to make a guess, I think 10, 20, 30 years from now, the global temperature might still increase, even if the solar activity would decrease even a little bit,” he said.

lots of time in the rocking chair.”

The family will not return home, however, for several months. After his surgery, Garrett will spend three weeks in the hospital until his immune system is strong enough for him to leave.

The Bacorns will stay in an apartment near the hospital where Garrett will have daily visits from Duke health personnel.

Dr. Louise Markert, an associate professor of pediatrics and director of the Laboratory of Thymus Transplantation, noted that without the transplant, Garrett would have little chance of survival.

DiGeorge Syndrome has multiple degrees of severity.

Out of all babies born with DiGeorge Syndrome, less than 1 percent are born, like Garrett, with a completely absent thymus—a fatal condition.

The thymus assists in the development of the immune system. Barring complications, the body is able to protect

itself against disease four to five months after the surgery.

But not all patients survive. The success rate for the procedure is 75 to 77 percent, but often the procedure comes too late for a child who has lived completely without an immune system.

Still, the family’s hopes are high. Vanderpool will be holding a benefit in Monroeton Saturday to help cover the family’s expenses. The event includes a spaghetti dinner, a bake sale and an auction.

“The community has really embraced the family,” Vanderpool said. “I have lots of donationsand I expect a lot of people to be attending.”

The family is taking things one step at a time, Vanderpool said. If the transplant is successful, then Garrett will undergo more surgeries in February 2006 to fix his cleft lip and palate.

In the meantime, the Bacorns will remain by their son’s side.

“When he gets done with his procedures here, he just wakes up with a smile on his face,” Bacorn said. “I have a very strong little boy.”

University Health System, which was founded in 1998 and forms a network of health care facilities throughout North Carolina and southern Virginia.

The University’s medical complex has grown as Duke and Durham have evolved.

Beyond increasing in size, DUMC has branched out in research, community outreach and international initiatives.

“I know that we will continue to innovate and improve the quality of health care here and around the world for the next 75 years,” said Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of DUHS, at the School of Medicine’s 75th anniversary convocation Oct. 3. “Duke’s greatest adventures are still ahead.”

Before Duke’s medical school could gain recognition, money to lay the foundations had to be secured —a feat that took more than 30 years to complete.

According to a DUMC website, when Trinity College moved to Durham in 1892, the city was partially known for its inadequate water and sewer system.

Now Durham calls itself the “City of Medicine,” but back then typhoid fever was so common it was referred to as “Durham fever” by residents of neighboring cities.

Dr. Wilbert Davison, dean of Duke Hospital and School of Medicine from 1927 to 1960, reflected on the origins of medicine at the University in Davison of Duke: His Reminiscences.

He wrote that it was during the move to Durham in 1892 that then-President John Franklin Crowell tried to establish a medical school. The only medical accomplishment to come out of this venture, however, was a short-lived course in pharmacy.

The next attempt, from 1920 to 1923, was driven by then-President William Preston Few. He tried to organize a joint project with local hospitals and funds from the Rockefeller Foundation.

This attempt fell through because many North Carolinians thought the hospital should be located in Chapel Hill, where the University of North Carolina had already been established. They were also uncomfortable with Trinity College’s religious ties, Davison wrote.

Duke's medical community is celebrating 75 years of education, research and clinical work. ceeded in founding a medical school in 1925, after 10 years of discussions with Duke on the subject ofmedical education.

It was Dec. 11, 1924, when Duke transferred his fortune to a Board of Trustees, establishing The Duke Endowment.

After passing away Oct. 10, 1925, Duke bequeathed in his will $lO million for Duke University, of which $4 million was designated for a Duke medical school, hospital and nurses’ home.

“I have selected Duke University... because I recognize that education is, next to religion, the greatest civilizing influence,” Duke said at a ceremony celebrat-

ing the indenture. “I have selected hospitals... because I recognize that they have become indispensable institutions,

only byway of ministering to the comfort of the sick, but in increasing the efficiency of mankind and prolonging human life.”

With Duke’s gift, the roots of the hospital had taken hold. But construction headaches and a tortuous opening day loomed in the distance—obstacles only Few could overcome.

The saga tracing 75 years of Duke medicine will continue in the next installment of the occasional series. not

dustry minister, one of the country’s top Sunni Arab officials, police said.

The handcuffed and mutilated bodies of six Shiites were pulled out of a pond where they were dumped north of Baghdad, and three other bodies were discovered elsewhere in the capital.

Also Tuesday, an Internet statement released in the name of al Qaeda in Iraq denounced Arab League plans to stage a reconciliation conference between all Iraq’s factions.

The statement, posted Tuesday on a Web site known as a clearing house for extremist material, said the “Arab League initiative is a new conspiracy to save their American master under the pretext of national reconciliation, maintaining Iraq’s unity and protecting the Sunnis against falling under Iranian influence.”

The Arab League plans to hold a reconciliation conference at its Cairo headquarters but a date has not been set.

League Secretary-General Amr Moussa is expected to travel to Iraq on Thursday, his first visit since Saddam’s ouster, to try to organize it.

The audit, announced by the Electoral Commission on Monday, will examine results thatshow an oddly high number of “yes” votes—apparently including in two crucial provinces that could determine the outcome of the vote, Ninevah and Diyala.

The election commission and United Nations officials supervising the counting have made no mention offraud and have cautioned that the unexpected votes are not necessarily incorrect.

But Sunni Arab leaders who oppose the charter have claimed the vote was fixed in Ninevah and Diyala and elsewhere to swing them to a “yes” after initial results reported by provincial officials indicated the constitution had passed.

Both provinces are believed to have slight Sunni Arab majorities that likely voted “no” in large numbers, along with significant Shiite and Kurdish communities that largely cast “yes” ballots. But initial results from election officials in Ninevah and Diyala indicated about 70 percent of voters supported the charter and only 20 percent rejected.

The documentary also focused on the childhood abuse of the filmmaker herself.

The film followed Shelton as she visited her father and confronted him about his abusive behavior toward her and her siblings.

Despite the difficult emotions in the film, its message focused on recovery. “Bad things may have happened to you, but it’s your decision how the rest of the story goes,” the filmmaker’s step-brother Steve said in the documentary.

Although poorly attended, the film screening seemed to resonate with viewers.

“I didn’t realize sexual assault is so widespread,” said freshman Katie Neufeld.

Dating Violence Awareness Week continues with a panel discussion titled “Dating and Domestic Violence” Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in White Lecture Hall. “The SilentWitness Exhibit” is also on display this week in Schaefer Mall in the Bryan Center.

At Duke, officials said the overall number of international students has been climbing for several years —the only setback being a slight decrease in graduate and professional students enrolled this year.

“We have had a moderate decline in applicants to our grad school, but that has recovered somewhat. In the undergraduate level, it has had virtually no impact on us,” said Gilbert Merkx, vice provost for international affairs.

Last academic year, Duke enrolled 340 undergraduates and 1,126 graduate and professional students from foreign countries; the year before, the numbers were 304 and 1,199, respectively.

Of Duke’s approximately 11,000 students, about 13 percent are international a number just over the 10 percent goal Merkx noted was set in the University’s last —

strategic plan.

The national decline in foreign students is attributed, in part, to the high expense of a education in the United States.

Open Doors” recorded that 67 percent of international students rely mostly on personal finances as opposed to governmentprovided funding.

A major reason for Duke’s resilience to the trend affecting many U.S. universities is its ability to attract foreign students with increased financial aid offerings, officials explained.

“I think at the undergraduate level there has been additional recruitment, and certainly Duke has made some funding for financial aid that we didn’t have before,” said Catheryn Gotten, director of

the International Office According the Duke’s financial aid website, the University expects to enroll between 20 and 25 freshman foreign students each year whose full demonstrated need has been met by a financial aid

package.

Other foreign students are recipients of merit scholarships.

Merkx noted that the University will have “to provide more financial aid as a long-term goal” in order to continue to attract international students at the current rate.

There are other reasons the U.S. as a whole is facing stiff competition for students from universities in major Englishspeaking countries, Merkx noted.

He attributed the national decline to federal policies governing visitors to the U.S. as well as the “negative publicity as a result of our involvement in Iraq.”

The “Open Doors” report showed a 9 percent decrease in the number of students from Middle Eastern countries, as opposed to a 5 percent decrease in European students and a 3 percent decrease in students from Asia.

The decrease in international students in the U.S. is also a product of the difficulty of acquiring a visa and some people’s perception that the U.S. lacks an environment hospitable to international students.

There are many benefits to having an international student presence in U.S. universities, Merkx noted.

“Having a substantial amount of international students creates a cultural, ethnic and racial diversity that enriches the intellectual and social environment of the campus,” he said.

Oghobaase returns to practice by

Michael Mueller THE CHRONICLE

Five-star football recruit Vince Oghobaase made the unusual decision to sign with Duke over football powerhouses Oklahoma and Miami, among others. He graduated early from high school to take part in the Blue Devils’ spring practices.

Now, after knee surgery, Oghobaase is finally one step closer to his long-anticipated Blue Devil debut.

The 6-foot-6, 325-pound defensive tackle stepped onto Duke’s practice field last week for the first time this season. Expected to make a big impact as a freshman, Oghobaase has been conspicuously absent from the Duke depth chart so far this year.

“It feels great,” Oghobaase said. “I get to sweat again, I get to be out here with my teammates, I get to go through a little bit of drills, but not everything, because I’m still kind of hurt. But it just feels good to be back out here.”

Oghobaase is a welcome sight back on the practice field for the Duke coaching staff, which is coping with several other injuries along the defensive front.

“WeTe real excited,” Roof said. “We knew we had something special after his first couple of practices last year. He’s going to add something once he starts

Recruiting analysis goes way too far by

THE CHRONICLE

The college basketball recruiting world is up in arms because an 18-yearold pulled a fast one on it.

Dave Telep, scout.com’s recruiting guru, said Oct. 18 in The Chronicle that he was “surprised” that Brandan Wright chose to attend North Carolina. He added, “I think people who knew the Brandan Wright recruitment were generally taken back.”

Yeah, people who knew the Brandan Wright recruitment were shocked at the power forward’s decision because they believed that UNC was far from Wright’s top choice. But what about people who actually know Brandan Wright?

“I’m happy for him that he’s made a decision because I knew it was very hard for him,” George Pitts, Wright’s coach at Brentwood Academy, told the Durham Herald-Sun. “He had it down to Duke, Carolina, Kentucky and Vanderbilt.”

Pitts doesn’t sound too shocked to me And that’s the problem with any coverage of college recruiting. These socalled experts who invest their time in getting to know high school kids don’t and can’t—really know anything.

Wright is a kid. He’s a kid with tremendous athleticism and basketball talent, but he’s just a kid.

Kids—even tremendously athletic and talented kids—don’t even know what they’re thinking most of the time. So how could a recruiting guru, who is only interested in knowing these kids because of —

Stingy defense guides Blue Devils by

Well Waggenspack THE CHRONICLE

With less than 30 minutes to play in what would become the Blue Devils’ biggest win so far this season, defender Carolyn Ford slidetackled the balhaway from a North Carolina forward inside the 18llOtebOOk yard box, saving a breakaway opportunity that could have put the Tar Heels ahead 2-1.

Instead, Duke cleared the ensuing corner and went on to beat North Carolina for only the second time in the history of the rivalry.

Over the course of the last two seasons, Ford has emerged as the leader of a stout Blue Devil defense that has only allowed five goals in 14 games this year. In those games—four of which were against ranked opponents—no team managed to score more than once.

“It’s amazing,” headcoach Robbie Church said. “I look at that stat every week, and I can’t believe thatit’s like that” At 5-foot-8, Ford, a middle defender, does not have a significant size advantage over attacking forwards, but her superior ball control enables her to keep the ball away from would-be goal scorers. That ability, in addition to improved play in

The one area of the game that Ford struggles with is speed, said Church. As a result, teams try to play balls over the top

of the defense in hopes that their forwards can beat Ford down the field in a foot race.

To combat their opponents’ long-ball strategy, the Blue Devils placed RachelSEE W. SOCCER ON PAGE 10

W. SOCCER from page 9

RECRUITING from page 9 their basketball talent and potential value to the great machine ofcollegiate athletics, ever begin to predict their actions?

The fact that there is an entire industry trying to predict the college decisions of teenagers reflects a growing pathology.

Recruiting websites charge as much as 90 dollars for a year of access. Rivals.com and scout.com have lists of the best sophomore basketball players —14- and 15year-olds who haven’t even played a game in their second year of high school. And those lists even include where some of these kids may go to college.

Because, obviously, the recruiting gurus already know when the recruits themselves have finished a full quarter of high school.

Yeah, right.

California, Nevada, UCLA and UNLV are all in the running for fi-foot-7, 210 pound sophomore Luke Babbit, according to rivals.com. Papa Dia, a fi-foot-8 sophomore from New York City, is tom between Connecticut, Indiana, Syracuse and Virginia Tech.

When I was a sophomore, I was infinitely more concerned with building myfranchise in Madden 2001 than I was with college. I wasn’t only unprepared to make a decision on college, I was unprepared to make a decision on what constituted a healthy lunch or whether I should pack the grapes at the top or bottom of my lunch bag.

We shouldn’t be so surprised when guys like Brandan Wright make unexpected decisions. Under the 6-foot-10 frames and 40-inch verticals, they’re just kids. They should be expected to change their minds and make baffling choices.

Tha.t’s what kids do.

Let them all just be kids. That is, until they get on campus.

Duke's strong defense has contributed to sophomore goalie Allison Lipsher's eight shutouts this season.

OGHOBAASE from page 9 the risks that may come with rushing

Oghobaase back from injury. In addition,

the freshman must still work toward getting into game shape before he will be allowed onto the field.

“The biggest thing for him is we don’t want to put him out there before he’s ready,” Roof said. “It’s one thing to get on the treadmill or the stairmaster, but it’s another thing to come out and play football.”

Nevertheless, the 1-6 Blue Devils could certainly use Oghobaase. Fellow freshmen Ayanga Okpokowuruk and Ryan Radloff, both expected to provide Duke with quality depth along the defensive line, are already out for the rest of the season. Start-

ing defensive tackle Brian Sallee sat out last week’s contest, and Casey Camero and Phillip Alexander are also fighting injuries. Yet neither Oghobaase nor Roof know when, or if, he will play his first snaps as a Blue Devil.

fore I can get out there,” Oghobaase said.

“I’ve never had to get surgery ever before in my sports career.”

With just four games remaining in the season and the Blue Devils already eliminated from bowl contention, that time may come next season. The Blue Devils may consider redshirting Oghobaase in order to allow him to gain a fifth year ofeligibility. Both Roof and Oghobaase declined to comment on the probability of that occurrence, however.

“We haven’t made that [decision] yet.”

Rose Cohen on the outside of the defensive line. The quick-footed junior covers for Ford, clearing any passes that manage to make it through the defensive unit.

Senior Heidi Hollenbeck complements Ford’s tendency to push forward with her intensity on defense. At practice Tuesday, Hollenbeck still had the remnants of the words “pride in zeros” scribbled on her left arm from a win over Maryland Sunday. In that 1-0 victory, which was Duke’s second consecutive shutout, the Blue Devils held Maryland to only one shot.

The tradition of inscribing “pride in zeros” on their arms started two years ago and connects the defense in its pursuit of shutouts. Hollenbeck said the tone for each of Duke’s nine shutouts starts in the opening minutes.

‘Tor us to come out on the field in the first five or 10minutes andjust lay ourselves out there and go into every tackle harder than the other team and present a fight, that’s what puts the other team back on their heels and allows us to go at them and destroy their hopes of winning,” Hollenbeck said.

Members of the faculty often complain that their concerns never reach the powers that be or that they are too isolated from the administration’s decision-making processes. To that end, the University’s efforts to reach out and listen to its faculty, rather than wait for individuals to complain, are encouraging.

But the issue of studying the faculty climate goes beyond these practical concerns.

Throughout the higher education community, scholars are raising concerns that universities have become mere businesses, more concerned with making money and improving their images than with the lofty mission of education. At first glance this climate survey might look like a tool to in-

Bureaucracy, though essential to the functioning of the University, is only useful so long as it feeds back in to support the faculty and the educational aspirations of the institution. A survey might seem like extra paperwork at first, but now we have a chance to see how well Duke’s administrative bureaucracy is doing that job.

When the results of the survey are released next semester, the faculty will have helped to identify areas where Duke is succeeding and areas for improvement. We hope the administration will act on those findings and continue to involve the faculty, promoting the cycle of empowerment that can only enhance our climate in the future.

crease efficiency in the workplace —after all, happier workers get more work done.

A University, however, is more than a business. By reaching out to the faculty and seeking its input about the climate of the University, the administration has the opportunity to build bridges unlike those found in the corporate world.

As the central bearers of the University’s mission, faculty deserve significant ownership of its direction. Administrators are here to facilitate the work of the faculty, not the other way around. With greater input and dialogue between administrators and faculty, the stratification that is the hallmark of businesses—and corporate that could endanger the autonomy and energy of the facul-

What if the next terrorist attack in this country is blamed on the Iranians? Then the Neocons preemptively invade Iran and reinstitute the draft. Would that wake up the college campuses?

Ray McGovern offered a powerful poem from Rudyard Kipling as his closing statement. Kipling had written “Common Ground” upon the death of his own son after coercing him to fight in WWI. “If any question why we died, Tell them, because our fathers lied.”

These days it depends on how you define “lied.” Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense in the 19605, admitted making “mistakes” regarding Vietnam in the Oscar-winning 2003 documentary, The Fog of War. Colin Powell, who last month publicly regretted his 2003 address to the United Nations about weapons of mass destruction as a “blot” on his record, is coming to Duke Nov. 4 to give the inaugural address for the new Rubenstein Hall at the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy. Neither men mentioned lying or guilt. I wonder what General Powell will say here at Duke?

At the reception following the unveiling of the newly polished statue of James B. Duke on Founder’s Day, President Brodhead mentioned there was a statue at Yale that the students used to decorate creatively every week. He noted such rebellious self-expression did not occur very frequendy here at Duke.

Perhaps it is time to show him differently. There is an old Quaker saying, “Speak Truth to Power.” That is the message of the missile.

Remembrances Friends and family reflect on the life of engineering senior Tyler Brown

Tyler Brown Dec. 11,1983

Oct. 9,2005

A beautiful life tragically cut short Jack London once said, “I wouldrather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.” As my high school yearbook quote, I thought I believed in this sentiment: to live a great life cut short. But as we mourn the loss of a great friend, we have come to recognize our own naivete. Tyler Brown deserved a long, fulfilled life rather than one cut short in the midst of his youth.

It is indescribably difficult to do Tyler Justice in a single piece of writing.

Walking into a room you were immediately greeted by his big smile. Tyler’s positive energy was infectious for all who knew him. His intelligence, his social conscious and his generosity made Tyler a truly incredible friend and a wonderful member of the Duke community. Although his time with us was short, we know that Tyler would have done great things in life. Duke, as an institution and a community, and our lives are lesser without him.

It is easy to be angry at the tragedy Tyler suffered and saddened by his promise that will go unrealized.

However, we choose to celebrate the life he lived, the amazing person we knew and everything he meant to us. So please continue to have Tyler in your thoughts and prayers, as his friends, family and the Duke community remember a truly special person. We all miss you Tyler.

Kim Ocheltree Trinity ’O7 Jonathan Wallace Trinity ’O6 A genuine friend whose generosity knew no bounds I am writing to say a few words about Tyler Brown, a very special friend to me who died over fall break.

When Tyler, our friends and I spent the majority of the summer together in Durham, I was truly blessed to be given the chance to become very close to him. He is one of the most accepting friends I have ever had. He was a source of support for me when I needed it, and I know he helped others in similar ways. I know that he absolutely loved his family and his closest friends and that they could not help but love him back.

Tyler certainly touched the lives of those he met at Duke, but his kindness and willingness to give did not end here. This summer he was a part of the team of students in Engineers Without Borders who went to Indonesia to help communities that were seriously affected by the Tsunami (learn about his work here; http://ewb.pratt.duke.edu/index.php). It is truly a tragedy that someone so giving had to leave this earth before he even reached the age of 22. I will always be grateful for what Tyler had to offer me personally and the rest of the world during his short but beautiful life.

Elizabeth Shockley Trinity ’O6

The perfect roommate and a selfless friend “What can Brown do for you?” I always joked with Tyler about getting him a poster with this slogan on it. UPS unveiled this slogan during our freshman year in 2002. The slogan not only had an obvious connection to Tyler, but the slogan also very simply described Tyler’s attitude toward others. During tenting, Tyler would stay out with others on nights that weren’t his turn or even after he got his three personal checks because he never wanted anyone to be out there without some friends to talk to. Another time, one of our friends had broken her hand and was in the ER. She knew that Tyler had a rush event to go to, so she said that she would be fine and she told him to just go to the party. Tyler responded that friends are more important and there will always be more parties.

In addition to his caring personality, everyone who met Tyler knows his smile would brighten a room. I always joked with him that he was a “gummer” because he would smile so brightly that his upper gum would show.

Tyler’s presence always made me feel happier, which was great for keeping my spirits up through the cold, rainy months during freshman year. I was the luckiest person on East Campus. I knew that I had hit the roommate jackpot when I first walked into my dorm room.

Tenting in Krzyzewskiville, late night talks in Blackwell, partying all over'campus and dinners at the Marketplace were all more fun because Tyler was around. It is not fair that a great person like Tyler had his life tragically ended. I miss his positive attitude and bright smile. His friends and family, Duke and the world have lost a great man. I know his influence has made the Duke community and the world a better place. Tyler, we will always remember you.

loved baseball as a photo of Tyler pitching crossed the screen. He loved it so much that he was buried with his baseball glove.

At the funeral service, Tyler’s two brothers, father and cousin spoke. His father talked about how on the plane ride home from San Francisco, they were flying through dark clouds. As the plane turned, for a fleeting moment the sun emerged and embraced his face. He said his face was instantly warmed, and as he felt that, he knew it was Tyler. For me, whenever I think about the memories I have with Tyler, it is that same sensation. I see his smile, and instantly I feel warmed.

Lucky to have known him

Losing a close friend at any age is a life-changing and

soul-shattering experience. My college experience was written from freshman orientation with Tyler as my closest friend. IfI was Jay for Prez, Ty was the VP. Anyone who met us knew that we stuck together through it all. Tyler was a friend who was compassionate, sincere, forgiving, outgoing and always fun to be around. He preferred to laugh with a roar rather than a chuckle. Tyler had the potential and vision to bring that roar to a part of the world lacking in laughter. His plan to work in Tsunami-ravaged Indonesia would have brought hope for success to a population struggling to return to normalcy. Now I find myself aching for normalcy. Every day without Tyler’s belly laugh has brought an awkward sense of distance from what I had previously understood to be my college existence. The death of a college friend has meant losing the person who I shared over three years of incredible laughs and life defining experiences with. Tyler was a gift to this University. He loved being at Duke, and he appreciated where it could lead him to help others. Ty didn’t havet a ton of friends at school, but to those of us lucky enough to have known him, we were like family. He didn’t care about being at the right place or with the right people. As long as his best friends were around, he was in his element. If there is anything positive to be taken away from his tragic death, I will never forget Tyler’s loyalty to his friends. To have been an integral part of an unbreakable friendship, throughout what has been the most unfortunate period of my life, the words ofLou Gehrig seem appropriate. I consider myself the luckiest man in the world.

Bright and forever lasting memories Although this past week has been extremely challenging and emotionally draining, I can’t help but reflect on the entirety of Tyler’s life and feel hopeful. I was fortunate to live in Blackwell freshman year with Tyler and his other close friends. We had an amazing dorm—everyone loved to have a great time, be it playing wiffle ball in the “back yard” (complete with chewing tobacco) to listening to the sexual assault benefit concert thrown

by Mike Giedgowd’s band, “My Strength is Not for Hurting,” in the commons room of Randolph. We even took a trip up to Georgetown to watch Duke play basketball.

It was truly tragic to hear the news of his table that was an exact replica of Cameron Indoor Stadium (complete with all the signatures of the basketball death, and I regret not being able to have had the chance players) or the Last Day of Classes last year when Tyler to get to know him the way that many of you had.

As children we would visit one another just After I found out about his senseless death, I felt incredibly angry that this beautiful, intelligent young man about every summer since our parents are brother and sister, and there were many times Tyler got left behind bewas taken from us. His impact on the world was only starting to be felt. My mom always tells me that God does not cause he was the youngest. However, when that was the waste his hurts. It sounds corny, but it is true.
