Trustees OK Oprah to speak for graduation first phase of New Campus by

Chelsea Allison THE CHRONICLE

The Board of Trustees approved measures Saturday to architect Duke’s campus expansion, digging into the first phase of the University’s New Campus plan while considering its financial situation. As banks were buffeted by unstable markets, the Trustees advocated pressing on with the University’s visions as expected. Trustee attendance was high, although Chair Robert Steel, Trinity ’73, was unable to stay for the full weekend as he was also engaged in talks to sell his company, Wachovia Corp., to Wells Fargo & Co. “It would be detrimental to dampen our ambition.... We will be very prudent and careful, but at the same time Duke must continue with its forward momentum,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. A phased approach for the Central Campus construction project debuted in March, accompanied by a report from Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education Steve Nowicki that envisioned a fusion of Duke’s 200-acre middle campus with West Campus. Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects was selected as the lead designer on the project in summer 2007, and the firm proposed shifting construction from SEE NEW CAMPUS ON PAGE 4

Smoke did not herald college officials’ selection of the 2009 commencement speaker, but there is sure to be fanfare. “We have a commencement speaker... early,” University Secretary Richard Riddell told a group of 10 student leaders Saturday afternoon. Oprah Winfrey, media mogul and global philanthropist, will deliver the commencement address May 10. “Oprah Winfrey has established herself as one of the most compelling figures of this time,” Brodhead said in a statement. “In her role as entertainer and entrepreneur, she has done as much to promote reading as anyone now alive. Through her work as a philanthropist, she has become a force for literacy and education around the world. We will be delighted to welcome her to Duke.” Winfrey is the fourth commencement speaker in as many years to have a Duke connection: Her godson, Will Bumpus, is a member of this year’s graduating class.

Duke students will not be invited to spend Halloween on Franklin Street this year. Concerned that the size of the decades-old Halloween celebration—which drew an estimated crowd of 80,000 last year—has posed unmanageable public safety issues and forced unfair costs on the town, authorities hope to make it a private party for Chapel Hill residents and University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill students only. As part of the newly announced “Homegrown Halloween” campaign, Chapel Hill Town Manager Roger Standi approved plans to cancel Chapel Hill Transit shuttles and limit traffic lanes into the downtown area Friday to keep the number of attendees down.

A student reported being robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning around 3 a.m. while walking alone near the intersection of Sedgefield and Green streets, one block north of East Campus. Two men demanded money from the student, and one pointed a gun, according to reports from the Duke University Police Department. The suspects took the student’s wallet, which contained a small amount ofcash and some credit cards, and he was not harmed, Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said. The suspects are described as black males approximately 5 feet 10 inches or 5 feet 11 inches tall. One is described as being in his 20s, wearing a black shirt and

‘Virtual Risk’ tourney for ACC hits campuses today by

Emmeline Zhao THE CHRONICLE

Duke troops are ready for battle—one that could pit students against theirACC rivals. But these troops are virtual and provide the basis for an online game similar to Risk, a board game of territorial conquest, among the sports rivalries of the Atlantic Coast Conference via GoCrossCampus. GXC resembles an intramural sport more than a typical video game, as groups and individuals compete against each other from across the country. Depending on which game a participant chooses to play, gameplay can vary from dormitory takeovers to presidential campaigns. Most games consist of struggles to control territory on a board. The ACC tournament began Monday at midnight and is only the second GXC tournament to date. The game will continue for about two months or until a winner is determined, and will be covered by ACCnation.com alongside its sports coverage. “We’ve been gamers our whole lives and

we love games,” said GoCrossCampus cofounder Brad Hargreaves, a recent Yale University graduate. “We thought this kind of game was away to democratize sports and let schools and people compete without them having made, say, the varsity football team.” The rules are fairly simple—each ACC college starts with territories to defend and participants log in each day to place their troops on the east-coast gameboard, coordinating strategy and attack with teammates at their college. The strength of each players’ troops is relative to how often that participant logs in to play. Armies can be moved once a day, and the game software determines a battle’s winner with an algorithm that slightly favors the defender. The site—now a company based in New Haven, Conn. —was created by Hargreaves and other Yale students last year. The first tournament pitted Ivies against each other and attracted about 11,000 participants.

“We’re having a party at Chapel Hill —it’s a Halloween party. But you are not invited. It’s a local party,” Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy told WRAL, addressing the tens of thousands who come to Chapel Hill from all over the region each year. Town officials have made it clear that outsiders will not be welcome, but sophomore Andrew Brown, Duke Student Government’s Vice President for Durham and Regional Affairs, said Blue Devils should be allowed to crash the party. “The Duke community and [UNC] are inextricably linked,” he said. Brown said he hopes organizations like the Duke University Union and Campus Council will rent charter buses to transport students to and from Franklin Street as they have in the past, regardless of the town’s efforts to stop Duke students from coming. DUU President Chamindra Goonewardene, a senior, said the Union would not make a decision about chartering buses until Tuesday.

Many students said their nights would not be complete without the traditional exodus to Chapel Hill. “That sucks,” sophomore Kase Diehl said. “It’s an awesome Halloween party.... If it goes down we’ll have to plan our own, but I don’t think Duke can match 80,000 peo-

ple.”

Other students said they would have declined an invitation to Chapel Hill regardless. “I’ve been [to Halloween on Franklin Street], and I’m definitely not going again,” said sophomore Julia Hickey. After only 15 minutes at the festivities, Hickey and her friends wanted to leave because they felt the chaotic crowds made for an unsafe partying environment. But Hickey said they were forced to take a cab back to campus because the Duke buses were swamped with Blue Devils invading the Tar Heels’ turffor a night. “We thought it would be mostly [UNC] kids, but it definitely wasn’t,” Hickey said. Erik Knelson, a student in the School of Medicine, grew up in Durham and has been celebrating Halloween on Franklin Street since he was in high school. Over the years, he has watched the celebration grow larger and attract different types of people.

“I have noticed there are a lot more people not dressed up in recent years,” Knelson said. He added that the partygoers appear to have changed from mosdy college students to a “creepy” crowd. The town may also limit alcohol sales in the downtown area by either declaring a state of emergency or reaching an agreement with bar and restaurant owners. Standi met with local owners to discuss the alcohol policy Sept. 26. Although Chapel Hill Councilman Mark Kleinschmidt said some downtown businesses provided “very reasoned arguments” for why alcohol sales should not be limited, Greg Overbeck, who is a member of the Chapel Hill Restaurant Group and owns three restaurants in town, said he and other local businessmen support the city’s efforts. “People aren’t coming to eat,” Overbeck said. “Very few restaurants stay open for Halloween... although some bars may benefit.” Chapel Hill Councilman Ed Harrison said Foy does not wish to declare a state of emergency and hopes an agreement with local business owners can be reached. Town officials will announce their decision on an alcohol policy Oct. 15.

affected applicants’ admissions prospects. Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag noted that the Office of Undergraduate Admissions does not view applicants’ Facebook profiles but said social networking sites are legitimate sources of information. “While we haven’t done it, I don’t thinkit’s unfair to do as long as there’s no subterfuge involved,” he said. “For example, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ‘friend’ someone just to see his or her Facebook profile. But if there’s information that a student makes available to the public in some manner, I don’t think it’s inappropriate for us to take it into account” Although many students use Facebook’s privacy features to limit who can see their profiles, they do not thinkthe site is a reliable source of information about a student.

Members of the Durham community gathered Saturday city’s public access television stations and the creation of a community media center. After a revision in North Carolina law, the contract between local station Channel 8 and Time Warner will expire Jan. 1, 2009, and public access programming will no longer be aired. At “Imagining Durham Community Media” a public forum hosted by the Durham Committee for Community Media—approximately 60 speakers and attendees offered ideas for the proposed media center and how it can facilitate more community-based public access programming once the contract with Time Warner ends. Durham City Council member Mike Woodard, Trinity ’Bl and co-founder ofWXDU at Duke, said he hopes public access programming will provide a critical assessment ofissues facing the city that is organized by and directed to Durham residents. “As a long-time citizen ofDurham and a Duke graduate, I really care about that notion of telling Durham’s story and who better to tell our story fully than the people who live here?” he said. After several speakers and clips of Durham-based public access programming, community participants broke into small groups to discuss specific aspects of the project. Each group presented its suggestions, and the notes from each group will be compiled for a follow-up meeting Oct. 25. Rebecca Cerese, a committee member and local documentary filmmaker, said the committee hopes the new station will provide outlets to residents who do not have access to media to share their experiences. It would also give programs like Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies an outlet to screen local work on a larger scale. Cerese said the discussion was successful in generating

“In general, it’s a bad idea to look at Facebook profiles,” freshman Ekaterina Petrova said. “People make assumptions and get the wrong idea about you. They’ll see 20 pictures ofyou from one party and think that you party all the time when in actuality, you don’t.” Freshman Dori Abel said she agreed that Facebook should not be used in the admissions process. “Some people are totally different on Facebook than they are in real life,” she said. “So it’s not fair, because you never really know what the person is going to be like undl you meet him or her.” In addition, some admissions offices —including Duke’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the School of Law’s Office ofAdmissions—don’t have time to scrutinize profiles. “In theory, we could learn something from a site or profile that helps us understand a student better, but that’s what the application is for,” Guttentag said. “What really matters is the application.”

Erwin Road, which previous prints had suggested, to Campus Drive. “We think it is important to build a neighborhood, not just a few houses in a subdivision,” Schoenfeld said. Focus for Phase I of New Campus, expected to cost around $4OO million, will now turn to fleshing out designs for particular programs. It is likely that there will be three separate architectural commissions—for arts, residentialand academic zones. University Secretary Richard Riddell said architects may be chosen by December. Infrastructure work could begin by summer 2009, and the plans indicate that buildings will be erected by 2011. In the meantime, the programs housed along the Campus Drive alley will be relocated temporarily or permanently. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask noted that Duke would support individuals hoping to preserve and relocate the historic homes that dot the

between East Campus and West, according to a University release. Phase I will include constructing dining and recreation spaces as well as suite-style residence halls with a capacity for between 40 and 75 students, accommodating a total of approximately 500 undergraduates. The plan will also make space for visual arts; languages, literatures and cultural studies; the John Hope Franklin Institute; route

“We think it is important to build a neighborhood, not just a few houses in a subdivision.” Michael Schoenfeld, vp forpublic affairs and government relations classrooms; and a library information commons, according to the University release. In approving the campus plan, the Trustees also considered Duke University Management Company’s report for fiscal year 2008. As The Chronicle previously reported, Duke was comparatively stable, achieving a 6.2 percent return and bringing the University’s endowment to $6.1 billion. “If there’s a silver lining to this there’s some evidence that construction costs may be going down soon,” Ridell said, noting that the University could capitalize on some decreased expenses moving forward. Schoenfeld noted that the Trustees had “robust” discussions about prioritizing engagements that enhance the University’s strategic plan —which he said is a feature of each meeting. He acknowledged that unpredictable markets may impact gift-giving or cash flow to projects, but that certain initiatives would remain at the forefront of University rankings. Among these is financial aid, which President Richard Brodhead has emphasized since his installment. The Financial Aid Initiative has achieved around $296 million of its $3OO million goal, relying primarily on charitable donations. “The need-blind admissions policy is a principle the Trustees have endorsed for a long time,” Schoenfeld said. Twenty percent of Duke’s financial aid is covered by endowment, and Schoenfeld noted that a certain portion of dollars are unrestricted and can be used a number of different ways. Unpredictable markets could mean other projects would require dipping into that funding typically allocated for financial aid. The Trustees also approved its yearly revisions to the bylaws and new charters for its committees. A Web site will launch in the coming weeks to help make critical documents as well as Trustee biographical information available to the public.

Defense holds, Grella strikes in Blue Devil win by

Scott Rich

THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils were outshot 17-3, earned three yellow cards and attempted seven corner kicks Friday night against Boston College, but still found themselves in two overtimes. And despite being outplayed for a majority of the game, duke Duke pulled out v-nH a 1-0 double-overtime victory over the Eagles in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Forward Mike Grella scored his ninth goal of the season in the 102nd minute and goalkeeper Brendan Fitzgerald posted five saves in the win. “At the end of the day, good teams find ways of winning when they aren’t playing very well,” head coach John Kerr said. Indeed, Duke (5-3-1, 2-1-1 in the ACC) did not play its best during the first 90 minutes. Boston College (3-5-1, 2-2) controlled play for most of regulation, preventing the Blue Devils from creating any forward momentum beyond a few early chances. “I felt like we were fortunate to come away with a win,” senior defenseman Graham Dugoni said. “But at the same time, we deserved it. We played hard and buckled down when we had to.” The Eagles’ ability to control the pace of play was due largely to senior Alejandro Bedoya. The 2007 All-American tallied eight shots in the game.

“He’s a very dangerous player, but I thought we handled him pretty well,” Dugoni said. “I felt we were able to negate his influence for most of the game.” That was a large part of Duke’s game plan, and the Blue Devils were successful, at least early in the match. But defender lan Kalis was lost midway through the game to injury, and with fellow freshman Kyle Bethel out with a broken arm, the shorthanded Blue Devils were forced to change their lineup and strategy. “Christian

That gave us some more play [on offense], but it allowed Bedoya to have some more room in the second half.” Bedoya, however, beat the defense and broke free with less than 30 seconds to go in regulation before his shot hit the crossbar. “We thought to ourselves, ‘Hey, the gods are with us,’” Kerr said. “They’re on top of us but they hit the crossbar, so maybe it’s not going to be their night.” Bedoya’s inability to convert late in the game gave Duke some momentum heading into the final period. The defense remained stout, allowing three shots in the first overtime and none in the second. “You don’t take any risks [in overtime]”, Dugoni said. “At the back, you say, ‘We’re

As if the arrival of a team clad in baby blue from Chapel Hill wasn’t enough motivation for Duke, the team had the opportunity to help head coach Jolene Nagel secure the 200th victory of her Blue Devil career. Duke certainly made the most of it. Feeding off the energy of a raucous home crowd of more than 1,300 fans, Duke (12-5, 3-2 in the ACC) topped North Carolina (8-5, 2-1) in a 3-1 match that was much closer than the score might indicate.

Thanks to the strong play around the net of Norman, who finished with four blocks in the match, Duke was able to take the opener. In the second set —which featured eight ties and four lead changes—the exciting play continued, as it took the Blue Devils extra points to finish off their rivals, 2624. Clinging to a 22-21 lead, Nagel took a pivotal timeout to rally and organize her team.

their years on the offensive end. “They were incredible,” Norman said. “For me to forget that you’re a freshman on the court and to have your whole team behind them, that says a lot about their efforts tonight.” Despite having a chance to end the match in three consecutive games, the Blue Devils coughed up a late lead as the Tar Heels reeled offfour straight points to grab the third game, 26-24. Showing immediate resolve, Duke stormed back to seize control of the fourth and final game by a score of 25-22. “That was really tough,” Nagel said. “In the huddle, I let the girls know that we were facing a mental test, and we responded well.” For the match, Dunworth led the team with 15 kills while Moss and Norman contributed 14 and 11 kills, respectively. Catanach tallied 52 assists to go along with her four blocks, which tied her for team-high with Norman. There was little time for rest or celebration, however, as Duke welcomed North Carolina State (8-11, 2-2) to Cameron the following night. In what could have potentially been a letdown game, the Blue Devils outplayed the Wolfpack in all facets of the match in a resounding 3-0 sweep. Sophomore Becca Burling’s performance stood out as she led the team in both kills and blocks, recording nine and three, respectively. Having started out the conference season a bit slowly, Duke hopes to use the momentum generated from these back-to-back home victories as it continues to navigate a treacherous ACC schedule. “These games were a great reward,” Nagel said. “But, we will need to continue proving ourselves every time that we step out on the court.”

Sputtering offense dooms Duke Defense denies Georgia Tech early, but offense can't capitalize by

Stephen Allan THE CHRONICLE

The final score suggests ATLANTA that Georgia Tech dominated Duke the whole game, and it did. The Yellow Jackets had 12 more first downs, 189 more rushing yards and 133 more passing yards while holding the ball for more than 17 minutes longer. Their defense came through when it had to, holding the Blue Devils to just 2-of-12 third down conversions. For all those lopsided numbers, however, one simple Duke three-and-out early in the second half ultimately led to Duke’s downfall. When Duke took the ball for the first time after the intermission, it trailed 3-o—but p really, it should have been at least 13-0 and Analysis maybe even 17-0. Georgia Tech drove the ball at will, but a botched handoff on secondand-goal from Duke’s 8-yard line and a failed fourth-down conversion at the Blue Devils’ 30 prevented it from scoring after marching a combined 137 yards on the two drives. “There weren’t a lot of possessions in the first half, and we were our own worst enemy,” Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson said. “We were moving the ball some, but we couldn’t finish drives. It was disappointing to only be up three at halftime.” On the opening kickoff, the Yellow Jackets had fourth-and-inches and, given that they had racked up 139 yards on the ground to that point, theylikely would have converted it. But left tackle David Brown jumped early, and Duke, a team which had demonstrated great second-half prowess, took the field with a chance to establish the lead and maintain its reputation. On the first two plays, the Blue Devils sent freshman running back Jay Hollingsworth straight up the middle, first for three yards and then again on a draw for two

yards.

The Blue Devils then faced a manageable third-and-five from their own 31, and they had already converted a third-and-four

Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis completed only 1S-of-28 passes for 97yards in Duke's shutout loss Saturday. and earlier in the game. But within moments of taking the shotgun snap, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis hit the field as defensive end Derrick Morgan flattened Lewis after linebacker Sedric Griffin forced him to the ground. “When things aren’t going well, you try this, and you try that and I just wanted to line up and run our offense,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “We go out there and run two plays for five yards and then blow a hot read and end up with a sack.” On the ensuing possession, Georgia Tech scored the game’s first touchdown off a Roddyjones four-yard run, capping an 1 Tplay, 57-yard drive that spanned just more than five minutes. Most important for the Yellow Jackets, however, was establishing a two-possession lead. With their

nearly unstoppable triple-option attack, they could simplyTun out the clock while continuing to rack up points. . Georgia Tech did just that to perfection, as it never stopped the clock on offense for the rest of the game except for taking one timeout and scoring three

times

What if the Blue Devils had driven down the field and scored? Even if they had just managed a field goal, they would have tied the game and limited the Yellow Jackets’ ability to kill the clock. Best case scenario, Duke scores a touchdown, goes ahead and forces Georgia Tech to abandon its running attack and take to the air. Although true freshman Jaybo Shaw had an efficient day in the air, most of his production came from play-action passes to receiver Demaryius Thomas, who often found himself in one-on-one coverage with late safety help. Had the Blue Devils forced Shaw into a position where they knew he had to throw, there’s no telling if they could have created a turnover or two. “If we could have just put two or three plays together and gotten started, I think it could have been different,” Cutcliffe said. But by the time they did, they were down 24-o—-and by then, the game had long been lost.

Blue Devil offense comes alive in weekend wins by

Harrison Comfort THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils entered matches against No. 13Boston College and Boston University this weekend disappointed in their recent offensive production. Not so much anymore. No. 9 Duke easily defeated Boston College 5-0 Saturday at Williams Field, giving the Blue Devils their first conference victory and marking the highest output since October 2007. Duke capped off the weekend with a 2-0 home win over Boston University Sunday. In the first match, the. Blue Devils (83, 1-2 in the ACC) capitalized on an early penalty corner in the third minute. Junior Brooke Patterson inbounded to junior Lauren Miller at the top corner, and Miller faked a shot and passed to freshman Megan Deakins. The pass deflected off Deakins’ stick into the Boston College goal. “[The first score] was a total team effort to get the ball down to the goal, and it opened the flood gates completely,” Deakins said. “Once we had that first one in, it sparked our confidence to get the rest in from there.” Deakins tallied another score in the second half, adding her second goal of the match in the 56th minute. Duke also received two goals from sophomore Susan Ferger and a tally from seniorLaura Suchoski. Though averaging a respectable 14 shots per contest, Duke has struggled to put the ball in the back of the cage. Coming in to the match, the Blue Devils were ranked fifth of sixth in scoring in the ACC, managing less than two goals per game. Throughout the season, the team’s offensive difficulties

lAN SOILEAU/THE CHRONICLE

After struggling on the offensive end ail season, No. 9 Duke erupted for five goals Saturday and two more Sunday in wins over Boston College and Boston University. have been attributed to failing to capitalize on easy opportunities. Saturday’s game, in which the Blue Devils posted 26 shots and drew 17 penalty corners, represented significant improvement

in the team’s offensive attack. “We have been working really hard on keeping a hungry attack all week in practice,” head coach Beth Bozman said. “We stepped up today and think that this mentality really paid off for us.” Although Bozman was certainly excited about her team’s tremendous offensive success, she expressed her belief that it is important to

observe the game from both sides of the ball. Sophomore goalie Samantha Nelson recorded her second shutout of the season and theBlue Devil defense held the Eagles to only eight shots on goal. Duke’s second contest of the weekend yielded similar success, as the team defeated Boston University, fresh off an upset of No. 8 Virginia. After recording a team-high seven shots on goal Saturday, junior forward Amie Survilla led the tearii once again with five shots on goal against the Terriers. This time, two of her shots found the back of the cage,

one in each half. Suchoski earned assists on both ofSurvilla’s goals. For the second consecutive game, Nelson recorded a shutout, bringing her season total to three. And after a weekend in which Duke finally found its offensive groove, the Blue Devils were impressed with their ability to produce on both sides of the field in both halves in both matches. “This [weekend] was huge for us,” Ferger said. “Not only did we get our first conference win, but we have a huge confidence boost as we continue to play in the ACC.”

She is the recipient of several honorary degrees, including ones from Princeton University and Howard University, although she generally accepts few titular offers. “It’s a testament to the great esteem and respect she has for the University,” Schoenfeld said.

TOURNEY from page 2 “We think of this as a campus-wide event and don’t think of it as something specific to gamers at all,” Hargreaves said. “The people most interested in it aren’t the people who play World of Warcraft every weekend, rather the people who show up to football games and support their school.” There are currendy less than 20 Duke students registered to participate in the tournament, but Duke Student Government is working to promote the game. “This is not what we usually do, but we have the manpower to do it,” said Vice President for Campus and Athletic Services Mike Lefevre, a sophomore. “Now we’re talking about the ACC and representing our university—it’s more exciting and shows that Duke can be a dominant force in

Sophomore Michael Zhang said he started playing the game last year and will continue to do so because each move only takes a few minutes. Although there is currently no prize for winning, Zhang said he will play simply for bragging rights. Whether a prize will be awarded has not been decided and depends on whether a sponsor will step forward to offer one, Hargreaves said, adding that a student from the winning Ivy League team won $2,000 worth of electronics for his room. “We’re actually losing moneyright now,” he said. “Hopefully it will break-even at some point, but now we’re getting a lot of people on the site and interest in what we’re doing, so I’m fine with that right now.” Although GXC is not a Duke development, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said he appreciates student ingenuity and may join the game if he can navigate the site. “I imagine that there will be a cohort who will jump all over this, though I suspect that it won’t be a huge number,” he wrote in an e-mail. “But a devoted cadre of a few dozen could have quite an interesting time and, of course, will dominate the ACC tournament.” not just sports

Anyone who has caught an episode of Oprah knows that flair and ease of delivery will be no problem for her. While there will most likely not be any car keys under anyone’s seat, each member of the audience is sure to leave with something memorable from this commencement speech.

knows chairman ofthe bored how to throw monday, monday down. Maybe he’ll invite me to his ffat formal. Anyway, while I was listening to the musical stylings ofCisco Adler el all mysteriously got to thinking about several different issues facing this campus. What does the economic crisis mean for Duke’s endowment? Why did Duke build the Link when theCraven showers spew sewage? Why am I so hungry? Instead of answering all these diverse queries, I turned my attention to something even more mind-boggling: the New Central. Yes, it’s true the dead horse that is the New Central has been beaten worse than a Kimbo Slice opponent. Yes, it’s true that the planning process has involved more people than the Beijing Olympics’ Opening Ceremonies. Yes, it’s true that our kids’ kids’ kids’ won’t ever see the new campus completed. However, all this being said, I think it’s time for your Chairman to offer up his thoughts on how the New Central should proceed. To begin, let’s think about what Duke needs from a campus. Well, first of all, we need plenty of living space. What’s wrong with having a surplus of rooms on the new campus? If nothing else, Larry Moneta can use them for his university keg stash. Next, we will need stores and restaurants to remind students that Duke is aTun and inviting place. This would minimize students leaving campus and lessen the opportunity for run-ins with muggers or ALE. Also, imagine using FLEX at Abercrombie and Fitch. A freshman’s dream. Finally, the New Central should bring a fun, competitive element to Duke’s daily life. Other schools have residential colleges or dorm structures that lend themselves to healthy competition. How great would it be if Duke regularly had Craven vs. Wannamaker flag football? Or Randolph vs. Alspaugh curling? I know, I know... badass. Now that we’ve gone through those considerations, some ofyou might be wondering, “Can I go to the bathroom?” Yes, you may, little Timmy. But make it snappy. Some others of you may be wonder'

ing, “What do you propose, Mr. Chairman?” Well, for those of you with the stronger bladders, I will now unveil to you my plan for the New Central. Have you ever looked at a compass? No? Well, if you do, you will see that there is a West and an East, but there is no “Central.” Thus, I propose that we rid Duke of this unnatural blight on our school and replace it with two campuses: North and South. I know, I know, technically North Campus already exists. It’s the Medical Center. Stealing its name for part of the new campus couldn’t be too difficult though. And South Campus? KA would be ecstatic. The space issueis easily solved by adding these two campuses. We could expand Central further south as we were already planning and put a dividing line at the Nasher. A “Mason-Dixon Line” of sorts. Then, to handle the latter two issues, we simply make the two campuses mirror their geographical monikers. For North Campus, the stores would be little momand-pop shops like those found in the New England area. These could be supplemented by some boutique-y Swarovskis and Fagonnables to add a little cosmopolitan flavor. Denizens of North Campus would have a powerful North Campus Council, centralized in one place and with the good ofall in mind. On South Campus, chains would dominate. The stores and restaurants would be set up in strip malls and there would be at least three Cracker Barrels. At least. Also, each apartment would require a porch. You know, for siltin’. Each South Campus dorm would have powerful House Council that made decisions based on what was right for that dorm. As for the competition aspect, there could be a friendly rivalry between the two campuses with alternating events based on prowess. North Campus would dominate evolution discussions, South Campus would rule theological discourse. North Campus would enjoy a significant edge in beer brewing, South Campus would be favored in moonshine makin’. North Campus would definitely take the cake in white-collar comedy, while South Campus would run away with blue-collar comedy. IfEast and West Campuses feel left out ofall the fun, we can extend these competitions to them as well. The Chronicle can write about how excellent East Campus is in every event and West Campus can complain about bias. Yes, these new campuses wouldbe great. Now I just need to take my idea straight to President Brodhead. He will undoubtedly like it North and South. They should be built just in time for the class of T5. 2215.

Meeting adjourned THE CHAIRMAN is starting to wonder why Central isn’t currently called “Midwest Campus.”lt’s more than justflyover states, you know.

letterstotheeditor Vegetarians are on your side Lauren Benning, in her Sept 30 letter, “Panda Express overly criticized,” adulterates a reasonable claim for more healthy and sustainable dining options for those with special dietary needs by denouncing vegetarians. She points out that most campus eateries have numerous vegetarian options but few options for those who seek other diets. She continues to blame campus vegetarians for this paucity, as if Duke Dining has a finite store of tolerance which the vegetarians are using up. What Benning foils to understand is that these are not pieces of a limited pie, and the existence of vegetarian options does not preclude the possibility ofothers. She then cites a statistic that there are for more people in

the United States with gluten sensitivity than there are vegetarians. Even if this were pertinent to campus demographics, vegetarians lobbied for more dining options in the past and vegetarian food is not eaten exclusively by vegetarians. She misguidedly decides that vegetarians are her opponents when in feet, we, along with Duke Dining, are her allies. Bon Appetit is committed to serving local and organic foods and is sincerely open to suggestions. Benning jealously cites the Durham Coop as a bastion of vegetarianism, when in feet, through PlariV, both vegetarians and non-vegetarians can shop there. We are puzzled as to why she maligns the Coop when it would provide the types of food in accordance with her dietary preferences.

PlariV is currendy in the process of bringing the Coop to campus, and we invite her to join us in our efforts. We are on the same side. Vegetarians and vegans are often concerned about health as well and are equally frustrated by the lack of healthy dining options. We invite Benning to join PlariV in our continuous effort to encourage Duke Dining to meet the dietary needs ofall students, including those with the goals of local and organic food options and humanely raised meat AaronSandd Trinity ’lO President, PlmV
