Has lax case changed alum support, giving?

It’s no secret that private schools depend on their alumni to bankroll

the billion-dollar endowments necessary to sustain a modern university.

And although it remains unclear what effect the lacrosse scandal analysis has had on Duke’s alumni relations, one thing is certain—there are strong opinions all around.

“The conduct of the administration and certain parts of the faculty has had a chilling effect. I’m less excited about the prospect of sending money back to Duke,” said Peter Bove, Trinity ’99. “It was the exact inverse effect of a successful basketball season.”

In FY 'O5-'O6, alumni and parents donated S99M of the $342M Duke

what some to say.

pg. 8

Duke alumni are involved at every level of the case. Jim Cooney, defense attorney for indicted lacrosse player Reade Seligmann, graduated from Trinity College ofArts and Sciences in 1979.

One other alumnus with deep ties to the University is Dave Sandridge, who served a fellowship at the Duke University Medical Center, in addition to sending his daughter to Duke. He said, though, that the lacrosse case has deterred him from supporting the University financially.

“I won’t be giving Duke any more money,” Sandridge wrote in an email. “My daughter’s women’s studies professors were annoying to me in the ’Bos. What I read now is not only annoying, but frightening.”

But the alumni by no means share a unanimous opinion, and though those ceasing to donate may be vocal critics, they may be in the minority.

“I’ve probably spoken in 30 alumni settings since last April, and very few have cut off their donations,” President Richard Brodhead said in an interview last week. “Gifts did not go down after March of last year. I regarded those gifts as a vote of confidence.”

There may be a middle ground.

Though he often posts criticism of the administration on online message boards, W. Tate Scott, Trinity ’75 and Fuqua ’7B, said he has not reduced his contributions SEE ALUMNI ON PAGE 8

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Duke researchers are taking part in a study that will examine the effects of the 1986 nuclear disaster at a Chernobyl, Ukraine, power plant.

The city of Pripyat, located threekilometers from Chernobyl, Ukraine, may seem frozen in time, but thousands of workers are once again descending upon the infamous nuclear power plant that exploded in 1986.

Duke researchers—in collaboration with RTI International, the University of North Carolina at Asheville and the Ukraine Research Center for Radiation Medicine—will study the health effects of radiation exposure by monitoring workers who are building a new radiation-containment system in Chernobyl, called the New Safe ConfinementShelter.

“This is a tremendous and unique opportunity to systematically study and hopefully understand the impact of radiation exposure,” said John Chute, associate professor of medicine. “To do it in a prospective way is a great opportunity for the entire scientific community.”

Brain spot controls addiction

Lebanon military declares curfew

by Brian Murphy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT, Lebanon University students loyal to Lebanon’s government clashed with Hezbollah supporters Thursday, setting cars ablaze and battling with homemade clubs and stones. The melee deepened worries that Lebanon cannot contain the political and sectarian rivalries threatening to push it toward civil war.

At least three people were killed and dozens were injured before army troops backed by tanks and firing barrages of warning shots into the air dispersed most rioters. The military then declared Beirut’s first curfew since 1996.

But the fallout reaches far beyond the casualty count. The clashes, sparked by a cafeteria scuffle between pro-government Sunni Muslims and pro-Hezbollah Shiites, reinforced fears that Lebanon’s sectarian divisions are erupting into violence as they did during the 1975-1990 civil war.

It was the third straight day of violence, sparked by a Hezbollah-led strike Tuesday that came ahead of a crucial gathering of donor nations in Paris.

That conference, held Thursday, raised pledges of $7.6 billion to help Prime Minister Fuad Saniora’s U.S.-backed government rebuild after last summer’s devastating Israel-Hezbollah war.

The money and show of international support could boost the embattled Saniora. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah has vowed to bring him down unless the opposition is given more power.

The chaos has paralyzed the government. Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday that donors were backing the wrong side in the standoffand that he could topple Saniora at any time.

In Paris, Saniora pleaded to his countrymen to “distance themselves from tensions.”

“No one can help a country if the people of this country don’t want to help themselves,” he said. “I call on your wisdom and reason.”

Senators propose two Iraq strategies by

Anne Flaherty

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The leader of a bipartisan effort to rebuke President George W. Bush’s Iraq strategy said Thursday he would not strike a compromise with a harsher Democratic resolution the Senate will debate next week.

Sen. John Warner, R-Va., former chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said he will not negotiate with Democrats to develop a single proposal on Iraq.

His comments—along with the emergence of other resolutions the Senate might consider—underscored how a Con-

gress largely against Bush’s proposal to send more troops to Iraq remained divided over what to do about it.

Warner’s decision bolsters chances that his resolution will be the one to win final Senate approval. Democrats are expected to vote for his proposal if their measure fails, and several Republicans said they prefer Warner’s approach because it is less divisive.

His decision to avoid bargaining also decreases the odds that a single resolution will emerge that could garner a strong, bipartisan vote reproaching Bush’s plan, a situation that the White House hopes to avoid.

Warner’s resolution would put the Senate on record as opposing Bush’s decision to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq.

It leaves open the possibility that a small number offorces could be sent to the western Anbar Province, where al-Qaida members are believed to be operating.

The nonbinding measure is less critical than one approved Wednesday in a 12-to-9 vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. That resolution—introduced by Sens. Joseph Biden, D-Del., Carl Levin, DMich. and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.—states flatly that sending more troops into Iraq is “not in the national interest.”

Arts center struggles to attract students Harrassment p olicy to by

Gabby McGlynn THE CHRONICLE

Duke students enjoy many Durham attractions on a regular basis. But one they infrequently visit is perhaps the city’s most historic and stately—the Carolina Theatre.

“The Carolina Theatre is a cultural resource that a lot of Duke students don’t realize is there,” said senior Eric Oberstein. “It is sad, because I think they have a lot of great programs to offer, and it has a distinct Durham flare to it.”

Even among Duke’s performing arts community, the Carolina Theatre does not attract many students’ attention.

“Part of the problem is that we have so much programming on campus that there is little incentive for students to even research what is going on there,” said senior Josh Posen, president of Hoof ‘n’ Horn, Duke’s student musical theater organization.

Efforts are still being made, however,

to enhance the relationship between the two Durham landmarks. The Carolina Theatre offers student discount rates,

leasable facilities for student receptions and student internship opportunities.

When possible, the theater and Duke assist each other by providing information. “The Carolina Theatre has just helped us with a promotion by sharing their mailing list,” said Miriam Sauls, marketing specialist for the theater studies department. “Just last week, they provided us with some theater-lovers’ names, and we will do the same for them.”

Other University, representatives said they have enjoyed valuable experiences with the theater, as well.

“Several members of the Duke community are on the board of the theater,” said Dane Byers, a member of the Carolina Theatre’s board of directors. “We SEE THEATER ON PAGE 6

CAMPUS COUNCIL

Wenjia Zhang THE CHRONICLE

by

If administrators approve the faculty-inresidence pilot program, Campus Council members voted Thursday night to run the program in Crowell Quadrangle.

Officials announced the plan to install five faculty-in-residence apartments on West Campus last fall. Construction of the apartments in Craven, Crowell, Few, Kilgo and Keohane quadrangles was slated to be complete for the 2008-2009 academic year.

Several student leaders, however, have called into question the loss of 30 to 36 bed spaces and die $3.5 million cost needed to support the program’s expansion from East Campus, where 11 faculty in residence currendy live.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, asked Campus Council members to identify a quadrangle in which to run the pilot program, if a pilot program begins, said Campus Council Presidentjay Ganalra, a senior.

“This is a very big if,” Ganatra said, adding that Moneta has the right to decide to go ahead with the program if he sees fit.

“This is a program some might see as more beneficial,” Ganatra said. “We could try a pilot program to see if the program is successful or not.”

Council members ranked quads in order of preference for the pilot program.

Crowell Quad was the first pick, followed

by Keohane, Craven, Kilgo and Few quads.

The members were given the proposed blueprints of the apartments —which were released in November—to help them make their decision.

Junior Ryan Todd, a Few Quad representative, said that because the quad already has a faculty in residence, relocation of die faculty-in-residence apartment within the quad would not accurately reflect how West residents would receive the new program.

“My first thought was in Crowell [Quad] because there are no rowdy living groups, so it would be a quieter area for the faculty,” he added.

Todd noted that because Wannamaker and Crowell are administratively grouped

With attendance lagging at men’s basketball games, it seems like even Coach K isn’t able to bring a crowd to Cameron these days.

But could SIOOK do the trick?

This month, Alltel Wireless launched “My Circle Mania,” its new promotional sweepstakes, on Duke’s campus.

Through text messaging and online submissions, basketball fans are able to enter to win up to $lOO,OOO in a halftime shoot-out Feb. 28 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. One winner will choose 10 friends to make shots from various locations on ,the basketball court and then will shoot from halfcourt to multiply the winnings by 10.

“We didn’t want to just do something traditional,” said Sam Zebian, director of sponsorship marketing for Alltel. “We really felt that this was a fun way to give Duke fans away to participate in the

sweepstakes.”

Pending approval, Crowell will host the faculty-in-residence pilot program,Campus Council decided Thursday. as one quad, the faculty in residence for Crowell would administer both residential areas.

“We can see if Wannamaker residents will come to Crowell too,” he said.

Facilities and Services Chair Hasnain Zaidi, a junior, said he would prefer running the pilot program in a non-air-conditioned quad.

“We’d have to put in AC for the faculty anyway—this way we won’t be taking AC rooms away from students,” he said.

Craven Quad representative Kevin Thompson, a sophomore, noted that construcdon of an apartment in Craven

Quad would take away the space of

a computer cluster.

“If they were to take [the computer cluster] out and replace it, they’d have to take out more bed spaces,” he said.

Faculty-in-residence apartments in Kilgo and Keohane quads would be built on the second floor, which members said would not be conducive to student-faculty interaction.

Sophomore Molly Bierman, a Kilgo Quad representative, said she observed that the faculty in residence program was more successful in the smaller dormitories on East.

In addition to the one halfcourt shot, there will be opportunities for other fans to win prizes such as gift cards, signed basketballs and phone accessories. Alltel also plans to donate at least $2,500 to the University scholarship fund. The amount will increase depending on the winner’s performance on court.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Michael Sobb, assistant athletic director ofmarketing. “It’s a unique opportunity to engage a group of people rather than just one person. What we’ve tried to do over the past year is to work with [Alltel] to integrate their sponsorship and to get them to interact more with our fans.

Alltel is running the contest at 13 schools, including Duke.

“We’ve just completed Michigan State,” Zebian said. “The contest went really well. ”

Duke Forest thrives as research site, ‘live laboratory’

by Lysa Chen THE CHRONICLE

Though thousands of visitors flock to the Duke Forest every year, students comprise a relatively small fraction of yearly visits to the 7,050-acre site.

Officials estimate that between 13,000 and 15,000 students from Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and local high schools go to the forest to

take advantage of its educational and research opportunities each year.

“Perhaps the Forest has never been as actively used for these (and other purposes) as it is today,” Dan Richter, Duke professor of soils and forest ecology, wrote in an e-mail. “The Duke Forest is literally one of the premier land treasures closely associated with any university in America.”

Biology lecturer Chantal Reid said her general ecology students use the forest once a week as a “live laboratory” to learn about how different plants grow in their environments and compete for limiting resources.

“For teaching ecology, the Duke Forest is a great asset,” Reid said. “It allows us to bring students to various sites right in our backyard, so they can experience firsthand how science is done.”

Curtis Richardson, professor of resource ecology, said the forest’s close proximity and relatively undisturbed habitats enable his students to conduct manipulations on the site that would be impossible to do anywhere else in North Carolina.

In the past five years, Richardson said his students have been able to work on improving Duke campus runoff by designing and implementing wetland restoration projects.

“If we tried to do these stream and bottomland forest restorations, we would still be waiting for permits and approval for multiple landowners if Duke did not have this area available,” he wrote in an e-mail.

JAMES RAZICK/THE CHRONICLE

Officials saybetween 13,000and 15,000local studentsvisit theDuke Forest for educational experiences each year.

Richardson added that his students’ projects could not be accomplished in a traditional classroom setting.

“There is no way a classroom can substitute for being out in the forest and its en-

vironment,” he said. “We currently have students studying plant, bird, fish and insect populations on the restored forested wetland areas. This real-world experience is invaluable to the students.”

Students can also use the forest for their individual research.

Erica Tsai, a graduate student in the Department of Biology, wrote in an e-mail that she is currently conducting a project on the manner in which parasites invade and persist in host populations. The Duke Forest is one of approximately 100 populations included in her study.

“Besides its proximity to the University, there are many resources available for researchers such as GIS maps and detailed plot histories,” Tsai said. “It’s great to have access to an experimental forest as a student.”

Joseph Sexton, a graduate student at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, wrote in an e-mail that the forest was a particularly helpful resource for his research on suburban forest dynamics.

“Its legacy of data makes it unique,” Sexton said. “Since we have data spanning decades, we can study long-term processes that are otherwise difficult or impossible to study. When trying to learn the impact that humans have on their environment, we need to take a long view—the Duke Forest supplies this.”

Tsai added that, by studying the forest, her general appreciation for the environment has grown.

“Unfortunately, Duke Forest suffers from what many eastern American forests suffer,” she said. “The natural habitat is fragmented making it prone to invasive species and extinction of natives.... Working with the forest has made me admire and rally for the conservation efforts around me.”

Reid said she hopes her students learn the importance of maintaining ecosystems like the Duke Forest.

“Regardless of what field of studies one will pursue, living in a healthy environment is important for our quality of life,” she said.

Duke, however, is not alone in its low Endowment Transparency rating, Orlowski said, noting that SEI gave close to 70 “F”s in this category.

Other institutes—such as Dartmouth College and Williams College—are disclosing basic information on endowment invesunents and received an “A” in this category, Orlowski said.

“The ratings regarding the endowment reilect the transparency of the investment—not the quality of those investments from a sustainability perspective," Anne Light, assistant director of administration, wrote in an e-mail.

“As a matter of policy, Duke doesn’t disclose information about the investment of its endowment.”

Under the Investment Priorities category —which evaluates the quality of investments—Duke received an “A.” Orlowski encouraged the University to, “continue to innovate and be a leader in the southeast.”

Despite Duke’s low performance in the endowment-related categories, the University scored highly in other areas, due to its campus environmental policies.

“Duke signed an environmental policy statement in 2005, making a commitment to environmental responsibility and to the community,” said Tavey McDaniel, environmental sustainability coordinator at the University. “There was considerable administrative support for the policy.”

Potential jurors are likely to be affected by media portrayals of such high-profile cases and are likely to be influenced by what they watch or read, he said.

The media cannot necessarily be blamed for how they report what lawyers tell them, Tigar said.

“The lawyer is in the best position to know the facts,” he said.

questionable, Neff said.

“I am really wary of giving anonymity to people in a case like this,” he added.

In general, The N&O elected not to use anonymous sources during the lacrosse case because of the risk of misrepresenting facts to the public, Neff said.

He noted that it is the obligation of a newspaper to validate the sources it uses and also to take responsibility for any factual errors in reporting.

Legally, a newspaper must have a “goodfaith basis” for reporting information obtained from a new source, Tigar said.

“If this was us,” Metzloff asked, “how would we report it and how would we do it?”

Metzloff said that the ultimate question, which he had often been asked by reporters, was what might have happened to this case had Nifong spoken or acted differently.

“The Nifong case will serve us well only if it is a serious step toward confronting judicial misconduct,” Tigar said.

Reese and Pamela Bernard, vice president and general counsel, further explained the addition of the words “gender identity” in a memo distributed to the council.

“The majority of our peer institutions, including Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Penn and Yale, have made similar changes,” they wrote. Reese and Bernard noted that the change would not affect the University’s medical or benefit plans.

Although Reese invited inquiries and comments from the faculty, council members approved the change without debate or opposition.

President Richard Brodhead and Paul Haagen, professor of law and chair of the council, addressed oversight of athletics in a prepared statement and an informal discussion.

During a delay in the meeting’s progression, Haagen reported that he hopes to finalize the executive committee’s recommendations for changes to the Athletic Council by Friday.

President Brodhead speaksThursday about thefuture of faculty and administrative oversight ofDuke athletics. cific sports teams has engendered an “overwhelmingly positive” response, Haagen said.

In his response earlier in the session to the “Question for the President,” a regular feature of the Academic Council’s meetings, Brodhead addressed a faculty member’s inquiry about the “removal as students” of three members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team.

“It is not the case that anyone was suspended from this University... on the basis of the [March 13] party alone,” Brodhead said.

He added that it is University policy to put students under “interim suspension” when there is reason to think the students’ presence in the community would put them or others at risk.

Twenty-four “comparable institutions” have similar policies, Brodhead noted.

Last on the meeting’s agenda was an appearance by Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of the Duke University Health System. The council entered a closed session for Dzau’s presentation on “proposed Medical School reorganization.”

The process studies successful treatments of epidemic diseases—such as smallpox and polio—to find applicable methods that carry over to today, he added.

A large potential source of funding for global health lies in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, he said.

“When the time comes, we want to make Bill Gates feel as certain and excited about global health as he is about Microsoft,” Kim said.

When asked about the role of academia in global health, Kim responded that universities around the counshould work together to try consolidate advances in the new discipline of delivery science.

With regard to medical education, Kim said the American Medical Association has never made equity of access a priority. Lack of mentoring, ad-hoc project-based programs and few career opportunities are hindrances to global health education, he said.

Another important goal of global health is to set up viable healthcare systems in third-world countries, Kim said.

“Right now, we have people who have grown up in different systems arguing over which is better,” he said. “We have yet to recruit system specialists who have built 10 or 15 health systems.”

Meredith shiner THE CHRONICLE

In 4.4 seconds, the Blue Devils proved more about their resiliency and ability to win games than they had in three straight conference victories.

Going into Thursday night’s match-up against Clemson, some doubt still surrounded this young Duke team and its ability to beat formidable conference opponents.

When Dave McClure released the ball with .1 seconds left on the clock—and the shot went in—that doubt got drowned out in the pile of Blue Devils smothering McClure on the floor, the roars from the Crazies in the stands and the 68-66 final score.

Drowned along with it was the frustration generated by an errant Josh Mcßoberts inbound pass in the backcourt, which the sophomore called the worst play te has ever made. That critical mistake led to Vernon Hamilton tying the game with a

dead-on three.

McClure’s big basket also buried the act that Jon Scheyer—the assist-man on

the buzzer beater—had been the last Duke player to score a field goal before that shot, when he hit a three with 6:21 left in the game, extending the Blue Devil lead to 58-52.

“A few weeks ago, it would have been easy for us to fold and go away and have them run away with the game,” McClure said. “But, we’ve grown and we really stayed poised down the end. We were able to make stops when we needed them, come up with the rebounds when we needed them, and we hit some clutch free-throws.”

In the second half, deflated by the more-than-six minute scoring drought to close out the game, Duke shot 33.3 percent from the field. In this same span, however, the Blue Devils went a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line—including four shots sunk by freshmen Scheyer and Gerald Henderson in the final 49 seconds.

“In this league, at this level, you have to learn to play ‘tired’ well,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. ‘You have to find something, and you can’t really teach that in practice.”

Krzyzewski found that something in the clutch play of Scheyer, who, in addition to his 12 points and perfect 6-for-6 shooting

from the charity stripe, had the poise of a in executing the winning play.

The freshman caught the ball much deeper in the backcourt than Krzyzewski had hoped, the coach said, but what he did with the ball amazed his teammates, particularly the recipient of his last-second dish, McClure.

“Just to have the courage, because he’s a freshman, [Clemson players] are flying at him and seconds are ticking off the clock, and he has the poise to look up and find me—it was really an unbelievable pass,” McClure said.

Krzyzewski said that if his team would have played this game three weeks ago, the Blue Devils would have lost by 12. But as Duke is continuing to grow into its own identity, the team is also learning how to win.

The Blue Devils played more aggressively than they had in previous outings, attacking the basket and out-rebounding the Tigers, 40-24.

Mcßoberts paced the more assertive Blue Devils on offense, recording only his second double-double of conference play by scoring 17 points and pulling down 12 boards—including six on the offensive glass—in 36 minutes. veteran

And although McClure most likely will be remembered for taking the game-ending shot, his presence on defense—particularly his ability to guard on the interior but contain perimeter players when switching off screens—has made him one of Duke’s most reliable players.

“He does a lot of tilings that many people don’t notice—loose balls, rebounds, defense—for him to get this, it’s what he deserves,” sophomore Greg Paulus said.

“He’s been playing so well for us the last couple of weeks. It’s a credit to how good of a player he is.”

On Tuesday night, Krzyzewski called a special meeting for the Cameron Crazies, keeping them past midnight to convince them that his team is hungry and his players need them to come out in full force in order to defeat the Tigers.

The capacity crowd in Cameron Indoor Stadium kept its end of the bargain Thursday. And with the heart of the ACC schedule still in front of them, the Blue Devils will have to do the same and continue to find ways to win close games.

As disappointed Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell said after the loss; “There are no moral victories here.”

The top-ranked TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Blue Devils walked into the sparsely populated, yet vociferous, Donald L. Tucker Civic Center and must have imagined themselves on a playground.

Kids screamed as they slid down a giant inflated slide off the edge of the court, while others danced around in the moonwalk inside the slide. When the Florida State band began playing their famous Tomahawk Chop, several of the Duke players imitated the hand motion and laughed about it.

As soon as the referee tossed the ball in the air and Florida State (15-5, 4-1 in the ACC) recovered the ball in what looked like a game of hot potato, however, the Blue Devils quickly realized this was not going to be a children’s game of tag.

This was about to be a tough, gut-checking boxing match.

The teams batded. their way through a combined 40 fouls and 36 turnovers, and at the final buzzer, Duke (21-0, 6-0) stood victorious over the Seminoles, 73-60.

“Sometimes you just have to grind out games,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “For games that you’re not as emotional about, you need to generate your intensity and focus, and we had a hard time with that.”

With their 21st straight victory to open the season, the Blue Devils are off to the best start in program history.

Certainly the team came out relaxed.

Everyone joked around during their warmup drills, and even on the opening tip, Abby Waner could be seen smiling.

It certainly did not help them for the

One Seminole free throw later, Brittany Mitch was fouled hard and nailed one of two free throws. Lindsey Harding closed the half by also making one of two from the foul line.

The spurt spilled over into the second half, and when it was all said and done, the Blue Devils led 51-36.

Down the stretch in the second half, the Seminoles and Blue Devils traded buckets as Duke maintained a comfortable lead and cruised to a 13-point victory.

Free throws supported the Blue Devils throughout the game, as they out-shot Florida State by 14 at the line for the game, making 20 of 26 free throws.

“I don’t know if you can win a basketball game when you get to the line 12 times and the other team gets there 26,” Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. “Either we’re going to have to learn how to adjust to officials or I’m going to have to learn how to get a technical foul.”

Harding also played well despite shooting l-for-7 from the field in the game. The senior guard was 8-for-10 from the charity stripe to finish with 10 points and also added five assists to bring her career total to 534, passing Hilary Howard as Duke’s all-time leader.

“We were a little fatigued, this being our third game on the road in a row,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. ‘You can’t be as emotionally up for every single game it’s just impossible.”

About nine minutes into the game Duke was holding onto a slim 12-10 lead and the Seminoles were staying with the Blue Devils stride for stride. Goestenkors had already pulled three starters—Abby Waner, Wanisha Smith and Lindsey Harding—out of the game briefly following a dismal opening stretch.

Out of this cloud emerged an unsuspected silver lining. Sophomore Carrem Gay, who had fouled out of Duke’s last contest with just two points, hit a smooth jumper to kick start a sputtering Blue Devil offense.

Gay had her best night of the season so far. She scored 12 of her 14 points in the first half, easily topping her combined 11 total points over the last three games.

“I’ve been really slacking the last few games,” Gay said. “I just wanted to come out and attack on offense a be a little more of a threat.”

Gay’s presence in the post was crucial for the Blue Devils, who found themselves challenged by Florida State’s physicality on

the low block “[Gay] did a great job taking the ball to the basket,” Goestenkors said. “They double teamed [Alison Bales] a couple of times and we were able to find her slashing to the basket”.

Although Bales scored in double figures, along with all of Duke’s starters, the usually dominant center was often outmuscled down low by Seminole forwards Britany Miller and Jacinta Monroe.

“I thought Florida State’s post players did a really good job tonight,” Bales said.

“We wanted to dig in a little bit more—they were really strong and physical and had good moves down there.”

The Seminole tandem combined for 22 of Florida State’s 60 points. They also chipped in 14 rebounds and five blocks.

Six of those points came from consecutive and-one plays by the sophomore Miller with two minutes left in' the first half.

Miller’s stellar effort brought the Seminoles within one point of Duke, giving a breath of life to the FSU squad.

“I felt like I could [play against] Alison even though she’s 50 feet taller than me,” Miller said. “I just kept playing my game and kept moving my feet, and I defended.”

Gay responded to Miller’s strong play by scoring twice in a row, leading the Blue Devils into a momentum-shifting 8-1 run to end the half.

“Are you going to risk getting the third foul?” Semrau said. “I think we just didn’t have the discipline we needed at the time.”

The Blue Devils’ 13-point victory does not reflect the lack of discipline on their side, but Goestenkors did make note of her relative disappointment after the game.

“I’m just happy to come away with a win,” she said.

Those guys were national players of the year, NCAA careerrecord holders,” assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “They were different than other players because they were a cut above even the best in the NCAA, and they were exceptional in what they brought to the table as students.”

Williams finished his four years at Duke with a BA in Sociology and a certificate in Markets and Management Studies. He was known among his peers to be a hard-working student that always stayed on top of his schoolwork.

Williams, though, will be remembered more for what he did on the court. The legacy “The Landlord” left was that of a soft-spoken team leader who dominated down low as a nittygritty power forward.

Following his Junior and senior seasons, Williams was awarded National Defensive Player ofthe Year honors, becoming only the fifth player to receive that honor in consecutive seasons.

“I was never a very outspoken person,” Williams said. “But I had to become accustomed to having the attention on me over my four years at Duke, and each year, I had to become an example for the younger players who were coming in.”

Even though Williams finished the 2005-06 season as the leader in rebounds and blocks in the ACC, there were a number of questions at the end of last season whether Williams would have his jersey retired along with Redick—who was almost a lock given he was the 2006 AP National Player of the Year and the all-time leading scorer in the ACC. But Williams’ career on and off the floor during his four years at Duke was enough to convince head coach Mike Krzyzewski and other Duke administrators that he was worthy of the elite honor.

“He was a rock for all the teams he played on, especially his senior season,” Wojciechowski said. “He always gave a consistent effort—the kind of guy who brought his hard hat and lunch pail to every practice.”

M. BBALL from page 1 As the horn sounded, the ball bounced around the rim before finally falling through and giving Duke a 68-66 victory.

The No. 11 Blue Devils (17-3, 4-2) piled onto McClure in celebration under the basket as they won their fourth straight game and moved into fourth place in the ACC. “We felt like we could just push it,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said of the final play. “They actually took away what we had diagrammed, but Jon made a play and Dave made a shot. It’s not an easy shot.”

McClure’s shot saved the Blue Devils from overtime and what could have been a devastating late collapse after they had led by two baskets with less than 10 ticks left.

Gerald Henderson drained two free throws with 12 seconds remaining to give Duke a seemingly comfortable five-point margin, but Hamilton streaked down the court and hit a high layup over Josh Mcßoberts with five seconds left. The Tigers applied full-court pressure, as they had for most of the game, and Mcßoberts threw the inbounds pass behind a cutting Greg Paulus. The ball bounced right into Hamilton’s waiting hands, and the Clemson senior set himself and buried the tying three.

“We just made a mistake,” Krzyzewski said. “We got them to shoot a two and we had a three-point lead and a timeout, and we made a mistake. And that kid Hamilton is a hell of a player. I mean, we threw the ball right to him, but he still had to hit it, and he hit it. Thank God he hit it quick.”

Down three with six and a half minutes left, the Tigers came out of a timeout in a rare 2-3 zone, and Jon Scheyer took advantage by hitting a three-pointer from the comer to put the Blue Devils up, 58-52.

The basket was the last field goal Duke would score until McClure’s game-winner, but the Blue Devils maintained a lead by hitting all eight of their free throws in the final stretch.

In addition, Duke, which shot just 33 percent in the second half, benefitted from its dominance on the glass. Clemson came into Thursday’s contest as the top offensive rebounding team in the ACC at 15.4 per game, but the Blue Devils outpaced the Tigers 17-6 on the offensive glass. Duke won the total rebounding batde by 16, which allowed the Blue Devils to keep the lead during stretches where they went cold.

“For us to out-rebound them 40-24 shows the effort that my guys had the whole night,” Krzyzewski said. “We were very deserving to win. We just could not put the ball in the basket at times.”

Luckily for the Blue Devils, McClure put the ball in the basket at just the right time.

American politics and to pick a direction. As important as it is to find great leadership, we cannot simply wait to be led.

The spirit of American democracy is activism, and for the last century activism has found its home in universities. It is now our time, as students, to carry that torch and to become activists. It is time to expect less from the government and more from our generation.

While the Baby Boomers that run the government can afford to put off problems to another day, we cannot. We will be here in the decades to come, even as our standard of living is decided today—so let’s take the steps to help make today’s decisions good ones.

race is not unreasonable, the stakes are too high for this nation, and disinterest is inexcusable. So if “info sessions” aren’t your thing, step up and plan something better.

It is imperative to vote, but with possibly the most important election of a generation a little more than a year away we should not wait to act. While these candidates are forming their agendas and asking for input on their platforms, it is our responsibility to speak up and influence their thinking. Ultimately, the problems that are debated today are not the problems of the politicians.

They are our problems. It is up to us to change the current holding pattern of

Even in its fledgling form, with many hopefuls announcing their candidacies within the past week, the upcoming presidential election looks to be one of the most exciting and interesting in American history. The diverse field of candidates includes a woman, an African American and a Hispanic American. And this is just the beginning of the race.

The time is now to become educated about the candidates, to find the one that speaks to us —to you as an individual—and to start advocating. We cannot afford to be anything less than fully informed and fully active. While many could argue that antipathy for campus panels and forums about the upcoming

Malaklou’s column disappointing Shadee Malaklou’s recent column in The Chronicle was deeply disappointing (“Happily Ever After, Part I,” Jan. 24). We support her point that women privileged to attend this excellent university owe it to ourselves and society to use our education in a productive manner. However, it is incredibly disheartening that Malaklou believes that devoting time to family and children is an unproductive use of our resources. If an educated woman chooses to alter her career plans in favor of raising a family, she should not be criticized simply because it is not the career path for everyone. There is not a more honorable job than motherhood. Malaklou contends that “very few women will ever pursue the careers that Duke has prepared them for.” Each year, women leave Duke on their way to Wall Street, medical and law schools, Teach for America, etc. These are strong women who will contribute to society the rest of their lives. Education is important to be a productive member of society, however altering your career for your family does not condemn you to unproductiveness, nor does it mean you are wasting your education. The several thousand females attending Duke should find it insulting that a fellow student could generalize us as “Southern belles” in search of merely a “MRS degree.” That is certainly not why we are here. It is our hope that our daughters will be intelligent, ambitious young women who will view success not just through the lens of their careers, but through the relationships they will carry throughout their lives.

Their personal success will not simply be judged by the number of figures on their pay check, but rather by how they impacted the lives of those around them.

Trinity ’OB Christiane Regelbrugge Trinity ’OB Rabbi’s remarks misunderstood

Although I appreciate much of what guest

columnist Youshaa Patel had to say in his editorial “Are Muslims fundamentally different?” (Jan. 24), I believe he missed the main point of Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks’ Kenan ethics lecture.

The lecture was mainly focusing on the radical, violent Islam responsible for the numerous terror attacks worldwide, not the religion in general.

Furthermore, the Chief Rabbi’s remark regarding generalizations referenced in Patel’s column was not an attempt to defend the use of generalizations, but merely illustrates the point that it is impossible to avoid all generalizations. I took this point to mean thatwhile the Rabbi admits he, too, uses generalizations, he does so with the regret that such generalizations are imperfect.

Finally, Patel also inaccurately forwarded the Rabbi’s message, for he failed to touch on what I thought was the essence of the speech; the need for listening.

Chief Rabbi Sacks urged all of us to listen to others so that we may better understand their values. Through listening we can learn who we can talk to about liberty and democracy, and who might be more interested in religion. He was not implying that no Muslims understand the value of democracy; rather he was saying that all people have different values, and we should also respect the values that we ourselves do not share.

If we can discern what values different cultures, religions and civilizations hold, we will all be able to interact with the Other in a more appropriate and respectful manner.

The wheels on the bus semester, my class schedule exists in just such a way that I have to take the bus between

campuses (campi?) after every single class.

That’s right, no humorous exaggeration here: every single class.

As such, I have come to know the buses well. I have not to sit in the seat right on top of the wheel because your knees are shoved m into your face, I have bus which learned driver is the “crazy one” (you all know who I am talking Stacy ChUdWltl about) and I have

shenanigans

sion the trajectory of an oncoming bus so it rolls to a stop right in front of me for my boarding convenience.

But above all these, I have learned that there are always very particular types of people on the bus. I decided to observe these various types in their natural environment and categorize them here for your read-

ing pleasure: 1) “Loud Conversation Girl” “Loud Conversation Girl” (also known as Wendy Won’t-Shut-the-Hell-Up) is a common staple of every bus ride. This girl feels the need to let the entire bus know how hard her chem test was, which frats she visited the night before or that on New Year’s she got so drunk that she vomited on her cat. Honey, keep it to yourself. Or at least use an indoor voice. Why air your dirty laundry (or dirty lingerie) for a busload of irritated strangers? The intended target for Wendy’s conversation usually fake laughs at the right times, all the while darting awkward glances at the fellow bus riders in an almost-apologetic way. “Loud Conversation Girl” can easily be recognized by faded black “X”-es on the backs of her hands, an unusually large mouth and a Northeast accent.

2) “Foreign Professor Gyy” “Foreign Professor Guy” (also known as Professor Awsygfqifksjul) is another bus ride friend of ours. The Professor is almost always accompanied by a frizzyhaired female colleague with whom he can converse rapidly in his native tongue. The language is largely unidentifiable, usually sounding like some sort of mix between Portuguese and Chinese (maybe Pornese?).

We don’t know where these people come from or what classes they teach, but we feel proud to belong to such a cosmopolitan university. Inevitably, there is always someone on the bus who is a student of Professor Awsygfqifksjul. They then attempt to fumble and bumble through a conversation in the mystery language,

Politician’s Unabridged Dictionary

to even us English-speakers that they have no idea what the hell they are doing. “Foreign Professor Guy” can be recognized by his thick, oddly shaped spectacles, black turtleneck and unwashed appearance.

3) “Guy Who Rests His Arm on the Top of the Seat So When You Sit Next to Him It Looks Like He Has His Arm Around You and It’s Awkward” Enough said 4) “The Leader” “The Leader,” (a.k.a. Tommy Take-Charge) is a necessary figure on a crowded bus. As more and more people frantically attempt to mosh pit their way onto the bus, swinging elbows and backpacks, the following battle of wills takes place: Bus Driver: “Can y’all move back and let these people get on?”

Riders: (glazed, apathetic look) Bus Driver: “Come on now, everyone move back!”

Riders; (shuffle feet without actually moving) Bus Driver: “Are y’all retarded? MOVE BACK!” It is at this point of supremely heightened tension that “The Leader” always steps in to save the day. Usually a stand-ee toward the front of the bus, he remembers his own plight trying to get on the bus moments before, and wants to help those still in the struggle.

Tommy: “All right, come on guys, you heard what she said. Let’s move back.”

Something about his gentle yet firm tone always has the intended affect, and slowly the herd begins to migrate toward the back of the bus. Where would we be if it wasn’t for Tommy taking it upon himself to spread the word of the bus driver? Well, a lot of us would probably still be waiting at the bus stop to get on. “The Leader” can be recognized by a hairstyle and outfit indicating that he is a legit dude, a political science book

I have learned that there are always very particular types of people on the bus. under one arm, and an idealistic glint in his eye.

And so we have come to the end of our little romp through the world of the bus. I’m sure you have recognized some of these people; hey, you might even be one of them. The next time you ride (or if you are reading a soggy, discarded copy of The Chronicle on the bus right now), take a look around. Wendy, the Professor and Tommy can serve as familiar faces in a bus full of otherwise strange people.

person: watch MTV

You

don’t want to hear this, but the people at MTV are sheer geniuses. They have completely reinvented television. Usually, a good television program needs either a premise that viewers can relate to or characters they could like. This is a difficult task, and the vast majority of shows on television really, really suck.

So the bright people at MTV made everything a whole lot simpler by doing just the opposite of what we would expect: they created television jordan axt programs that no one can relate to filled with palindromes characters that no one could possibly like.

Think about shows like The Real World, Tiara Girls, Laguna Beach, The Hills, and my favorite, My Super Sweet Sixteen. I cannot relate to anyone who has appeared on these programs. I have never had to deal with an overbearing pageant coach, stress out about whether or not my fashion designer could deliver my personalized sequined blazer, or ride in a helicopter on the way to my birthday party. These people live in a world completely unlike my own.

Also, can you think of one person on these shows that you would actually want as a friend? They are all shallow, spoiled, materialistic idiots. If they don’t already have a drinking problem, they will probably develop one soon. No one really wants to be these people. We may covet their wealth, good looks or fame, but we don’t want their personalities. If I were offered the chance to wake up tomorrow as veritable jerk Jason from The Hills, I know I would pass. Unlike a lot ofpeople on television, the personalities on MTV are completely loathsome and unlikable. And I believe that this is saving America.

Allow me to explain. Through their programming, MTV is committing a great public service. They are slowly boosting the self-confidence of millions of viewers. Just watching MTV makes me feel better about myself. Every night, I can turn on the TV and see someone who is unquestionably a worse human being than I am.

Now, I’m no Mother Theresa, but at least I have never dumped a girl the day after Valentine’s Day or forced someone into admitting that she is a slut. MTV reassures me that I am a pretty normal, capable person.

To use psychological jargon, MTV is providing the world with mass “downward social comparisons” that simply make me look good by contrast. Somehow, it’s extremely comforting to know that awful people like this exist.

But, MTV programming does not only make me feel like a more reasonable human being —it may even help me make more friends. The New York Times Magazine discussed a concept called “negativity friendships” in its December “ideas of the year” issue. According to Jennifer Bosson, a social psychologist at the University of South Florida, what we dislike can matter in friendship as much as what we like. Bosson explains how “it’s not that we enjoy disliking people, it’s that we enjoy meeting people who dislike the same people.”

This is where MTV has made things a lot easier.

They have created shows where it’s very easy to hate everyone. With negativity friendships, I imagine that this hatred will eventually manifest itself into lifelong bonds. I can picture it now: best friends meeting as Brianna systematically ignores Rocky at her pool party or marriages forming as Davis from The Real World yells a racial slur.

I thank MTV for making me the popular and wellrounded human being that I am today. Hating MTV personalities does not make me a cruel, superficial person.

Instead, it just means that I am a man who appreciates life and values friendship. And I can live with that.

Be Inspired for the New Year!

Contributed by Duke Performances

Violist Yuri Bashmet’s enthusiasm for his instrument, love of new music, and passion for rediscovering old works have led him to musical prominence and simultaneously created renewed interest in the viola. He began study of the violin as a young child but later turned to the viola at the Moscow Conservatoire after hearing that the viola required less practice (This way he could spend more time studying what he believed was his true love: the guitar.) This decision, however, led to a deep love of the viola, resulting in a world-

renowned musical career built upon his intense training and a unique passion for performance

Schnittke's Viola Concerto was written specifically for him and has subsequently become firmly established in the classical music repertoire. Bashmet also brings a new perspective to a life beyond classical music.

Three Movements Premieres Contributed by Duke Department of Theater Studies

As Trinity senior Martin Zimmerman moves through his last semester at Duke, he has one major goal yet to accomplish—his senior distinction project. Zimmerman has written a play called Three Movements that will be produced February Bth-llth in Sheafer Theater as his honors project.

While some might assume college students would write about what they know—their contemporaries —Zimmerman has chosen a different stage of life to explore. In fact when he first gave a draft of his new play to people to read, they expressed surprise that he would write about an older character, especially when one of the character’s main obstacles is his own age and the breakdown of his body. But Zimmerman thinks people of every age can relate to change and loss.

Zimmerman’s play is a fictional story inspired in part by the life of the famed ballet choreographer George Balanchine. It follows the efforts of a fictional choreographer (also named George) and his relationship with his wife, Sonia, who was one of his greatest dancers. In the play she has recently contracted polio at the height of her career.

“I think the theme of loss is something most people in college can relate to, if not physically, then at least psychologically,” he says.

Spring Features from the Nasher Museum Contributed by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University,

A contemporary art trend at the Nasher Museum continues this spring with two new exhibitions of work by important living artists.

“Our spring shows are what the Nasher Museum is all about,” said Kimerly Rorschach, director of the Nasher Museum.

“These works have not, until now, been readily accessible to audiences in the Triangle region.”

“Irwin Kremen: Beyond Black Mountain (1966-2006),” opening March 22, is the artist’s first major retrospective, including collage, painting, and sculpture. “Street Level: Mark Bradford, William Cordova, & Robin Rhode,” opening March 29, presents the work of three global urban artists who are exhibiting together for the first time.

Students are invited to learn more about contemporary art at exciting programs and events at the Nasher Museum this spring.

The museum is located at Duke University Road and Anderson Street, adjacent to the Sarah R Duke Gardens. Sign up for the Nasher student listserv to find out about exclusive student events throughout the year.

Just send an e-mail to majordomo@duke.edu with “subscribe nasher-students” in the body of the e-mail (without the quotes).

Duke students can explore contemporary art at the Nasher Museum’s last all-student party of the year, “Nashquerade,” on April 13. The Nasher Student Advisory Board invites Duke undergraduate, graduate and professional students to don a creative costume and celebrate spring at the museum.

The evening will feature live music, dancing,

a costume contest, refreshments and a cash bar (credit cards and Food Points accepted).

Duke I.D. is required. The free event is generously sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.

A DJ party will kick off “Street Level” on March 28. Ninth Wonder, a local hiphop producer and DJ with Little Brother, will provide the entertainment at the event, open to the Duke community and museum members. The exhibition opens on March 29 with a conversation between artists Mark Bradford, William Cordova and Robin Rhode.

Wendy Ewald (Duke) and Jeff Whetstone (UNC-CH). Muniz, born in Sao Paulo, lives and works in New York. In 2006, museums in Miami, Seattle, San Diego, Montreal and Quincy (FL) presented solo exhibitions of his work. The talk is co-sponsored by Duke’s Center for International Studies and the Nasher Museum.

Meet Irwin Kremen at the exhibition preview on March 21 at 5 p.m. The artist will discuss his retrospective on view at the Nasher Museum with Sarah Schroth, the museum’s Nancy Hanks Senior who Curator, organized the show. The talk will be followed by a reception and cash bar.

Celebrating Clay: Duke University Dance Program bids fond farewell to Professor of the Practice of Dance Clay Taliaferro Contributed by Charles Latham, Staff Assistant, Duke University Dance Program

The spring semester of 2007 will be a bittersweet one for the Duke University Dance Program. While we are thrilled to be celebrating the Arts and Sciences Council’s recent approval of the major in dance, available to students for the first time this semester, we will be bidding farewell to Professor of the Practice of Dance Clay Taliaferro, who will be retiring after twenty years of dancing, choreographing and teaching at Duke.

Having been on leave for the past year, Clay has returned to teach one final semester. He has been awarded Professor Emeritus standing upon retirement, and a dance scholarship or prize will be established in his name. To further celebrate Clay Taliaferro’s remarkable career and service to the University, the Dance Program is dedicating its annual Spring concert to him; ChoreoLab 2007Celebrating Clay (April 21 & 22) will feature several exciting guest artists, along with Taliaferro’s own choreography.

Clay is a profoundly dedicated and challenging teacher. He challenges his students to grow intellectually as well as artistically and supports them through the difficult process of personal honesty required for deep changes. He thrives in a classroom situation where he is engaged in a process of awakening students to their own capabilities.

Students that accept that challenge speak of how his teaching developed not only their knowledge of dance, but also their knowl-

earning an international reputation as an award-winning performer, teacher, and choreographer. In 1971, he was invited by Jose Limon to join his company, and served as a principal dancer and guest artist for more than ten years, performing all the major roles. After Jose’s death, he served as Artistic Assistant Clay Taliaferro first to Ruth Director came to Duke Currier for the University as an ArtistCompany. Besides his in-Residence in the important tenure with mid-1980’s at the invithe Jose Limon Dance tation of Julia Wray, Company, Clay was the former director of also Acting Artistic the Dance Program.

He has Lamhut Dance Company, the Lotte Goslar taught all levels of Modern Dance technique, Company and Emily Frankel Dance-Drama initiated and taught a full-credit freshman Company, and co-founder/director of The seminar course, as well as a multi-disciplined Theatre Dance Trio. Clay has choreographed Floor Barre class, among others. In addition, a sizeable body of work, and continues as a guest artist beyond the Duke University Clay has developed and taught a very popular dance course for senior citizens through campus.

Recently he restaged a Outside of his university career, he has had Limon masterwork, Choreographic Offering, extensive involvement with American dance, for Duke’s Modern Repertory Ensemble to edge of themselves. He is as eager to work with students who have no background in dance as he is to work with advanced dance students. For him, watching a student discover and master knowledge is an endless fascination.

Russian Choral Music at Duke Chapel Contributed by Duke Chapel

On Sunday, April 22 at 4 pm in Duke Chapel Rodney Wynkoop will lead the Duke Chapel Choir and Chorale in Rachmaninoffs All-night Vigil, a piece of stunning beauty and power. The acappella work features a wide array of colors and moods from intense, quiet reflections to ebullient expressions of praise. The 200-voice choir will sing the work in the original Church Slavonic.

While Rachmaninoff is primarily known as a composer for the piano, the All-night vigil, or Vespers, as it is sometimes called, held a special place in the composer's heart. He asked that the Nunc Dimitis, the fifth movement from the work be performed at his funeral. Rachmaninoff's fluidity within the idiom of Russian choral music is clear throughout this work, and the listener wonders at the imagination of the composer as he continually creates new voice combinations and effects. At the same time, his care in setting the Slovanic text infuses the whole work with a sacred power that few works can match.

In addition to the All-night Vigil, the Chapel Choir will present the premiere of a new edition of Joseph Achron's Sabbath Evening Service. Achron's Hebrew setting features subtle and powerful harmonies, as well as infectious, folk-like melodies. Achron was one of the leading composers of the Jewish Russian school of composition, which flourished in the second decade of the last century.

Tickets will be available for the concert starting March 15 at the Duke Box Office: www.tickets.duke.edu or 684-4444.

It’s Metal/Vox/Water by experimental vocalist and composer Pamela Z, who digitally processes her voice in real time to create layers of sound and triggers sampled sounds using the BodySynth MIDI controller.

It’s the Red Clay Saxophone Quartet. You’ve heard string quartets, sure, but a saxophone quartet? And speaking of string quartets, Milestones is also the Brentano String Quartet, of whom the New York Times says, “Their music making is private, delicate and fresh, but by its very intimacy and importance it seizes attention.”

It’s moving the audience around to three areas in the course of one piece. What?

Composer Scott Lindroth explains, “The concert on March 7 will present a collaborative work with music by me and visual media by Anya Belkina. The performance grew out of an earlier collaboration called Nasuh, for soprano and string quartet, which features a text by the great Persian Sufi poet, Rumi. We took this piece as a point of departure for other combinations of visual media and music, including a new piece for animation and video accompanied by live musicians playing percussion, saxophone, keyboard and electronics.

The performance will take place in "The Space" in the Arts Warehouse. There will be three screening areas, one for each segment of the performance, and the audience will move from one to the next as the performance unfolds.”

Milestones 2007 is all this and more. But see for yourself.

Milestones 2007 takes place from March

2-7.

Check the Spring Arts Calendar for a complete listing of events.

The Red Clay Saxophone Quartet will also be a part of Milestones 2007, a week long festival in March.

Celebrating Clay continued from page 9 critical acclaim. Last February, Clay’s current and former students joined a packed theater of fans and professional colleagues (many of them dance legends in their own right) to witness his farewell performance with the Jose Limon Dance Company as the Moor in the Limon masterwork The Moor’s Pcivane.

Sometimes the pros aren’t used to this system, but it is always a great source of pride for us at Duke when our guest artists leave here impressed with the intellect and talent and commitment of our students.”

Voss is also pleased that this play lends itself to substantial discussions suitable for a rigorous academic environment. “The Great Game is a play whose universal themes of imperialism, racism, greed and forbidden love resonate now more than ever,” says Voss.

During its run, Voss will be making sure the play fulfills the mission of Theater Previews at Duke—to serve as a breeding ground for professional, innovative and high quality new plays and musicals and to offer audiences the opportunity to engage in productions in a variety of stages of development.
