Board of rustees NEW CHAIR: DAN BLUE

NEW TRUSTEE: PAUL FARMER

Board is top priority Farmer comes full for new chair Blue circle as a Trustee by

Toni Wei

THE CHRONICLE

Democratic state Sen. Dan Blue, Law ’73, is no stranger to making history. Blue, the first black chair of the Board of Trustees, was also the state legislature’s first black Speaker of the N.C. House of Representatives —a position he held from 1991 to 1994—and the first black president of the National Conference of State Legislatures. “I’m extremely honored to be the chair of the Duke Board—to come from being a plain Dan Blue and simple student, to lead the University policy-making board, it’s a lifetime honor for anybody I believe, and I especially feel very good about that,” Blue said. “I look at it first through those lens, but given Duke’s history in the South, you can’t help but reflect back a little bit on where we come from as an institution—it’s a pretty strong statement of where we are that those issues don’t matter in who we choose as a leader today.” Blue was elected chair at the Board’s May 8 meeting and begins his term today. Blue’s election has garnered praise from Durham as well as University leaders. “I think it’s a testament to Dan’s fortitude and insight—he has great skills and capability and is a proven leader,” said Durham Mayor Bill Bell, who worked with Blue last year on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. “There’s not a question in my mind he deserves this position.” Before attending the School ofLaw, Blue earned a bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Central University in 1970. NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms said Blue has the experience and the record of service required to fulfill the responsibilities of the position.

“He is someone who is imminently qualified, well-versed in issues and he’s fulfilled leadership positions, so I think

he’s a wonderful servant leader and it’s good for Duke, it’s good for the community and it’s good for society,” Nelms said. “I can assure you that NCCU is proud that an alumnus of this institution has an opportunity to serve at this level.” Blue first joined the board in 1995, completing the term of then-retiring trustuee Daniel Tostesen. In 1999, Blue was elected to two more six-year terms—the limit any person can consecutively serve on the Board—and served as vice chair of the Board alongside Richard Wagoner, Trinity ’75 and former General Motors chief executive officer. Blue has chaired the Board’s Business and Finance Committee and the Trusteeship Committee, and was a member of the Audit Committee. Blue’s term —as well as his tenure as chair—will expire in 2011. Blue said his policy-making role will not be drastically different as chair of the Board, because the Board takes a very collaborative approach to decisions. “[On] an exceptionally talentedboard such as ours, many people bring many skills and different perspectives but also great talent,” he said. “We call upon the board members on many things and match their talents with the needs of the University and the administration.” Currently a partner at the law firm Blue, Stephens & Fellers in Raleigh, Blue also served in the N.C. House from 1981 to 2002 and again from 2006 to 2009, last month he joined the N.C. Senate when he was appointed to fill the late Democratic state Sen. Vernon Malone’s vacated seat. “I certainly thought he’d go very far in politics—some of the jobs I thought he might aspire to are more important than SEE BLUE ON PAGE 10

In the Fall of 1978, a promising freshman who grew up in a Florida trailer park stepped onto Duke’s campus for the first time. During his four years as an undergraduate, he carved a path at the University all his own, working with impoverished migrant fann workers from Haiti, studying abroad for a semester in France, Paul Farmer briefly writing for The Chronicle’s arts and entertainment section and graduating with honors after earning his bachelor’s degree in anthropology. Thirty years later, renowned global health expert Paul Farmer, Trinity ’B2, and founder of the non-profit Partners in Health, credits his Duke education for setting him on the path he follows today. This Fall, Farmer will begin a new chapter with the University—as one of the newest members of its Board ofTrustees. “I have a deep debt of gratitude to Duke,” Farmer said. “I got involved in all the things that I’m doing now at Duke. Even interest in Haiti, that comes from Duke. Interest in the field that I would later pursue as a scholar—medical anthropology—started at Duke. Commitment to global health, to addressing health disparities—all of that started at Duke.” On the 38-member board composed largely of corporate executives and those who rose to fame and fortune within the financial sector, Farmer appears to be the exception to the rule. A champion for health care access and human rights in the developing world, Farmer skyrocketed to international prominence after being the subject of Tracy Kidder’s 2003

Renovations aim to make Central more ‘livable’ by

THE CHRONICLE

MICHAELNACLERIO/CHRONICLE HIE PHOTO

Planned renovations for CentralCampus will cost between $l2 and $l5 million, officials said.With the development of New Campus put on hold for at least a decade,administrators said they hope therenovations will make students living on Central feel saferand more like apart ofDuke's community.

MORE MATTRESS, ESS MONEY Thank You For Voting Us #1

Central Campus will undergo major renovations to make it feel more like the home it will be to Duke students for at least another decade. In light of the University construction freeze that put the proposed plans for New Campus on hold, administrators are moving to address the concerns that have made Central an undesirable residence to many students. “I’d like [Central] to be both livable and feel like a part of Duke,” said Steve Nowicki, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education. “Equally importantly, it needs to feel like it’s part ofDuke so students don’t feel like they’re in a random bedroom community.” Nowicki said discussions have made it clear there are four main things students dislike about Central—security, transportation, the absence of a social center and the lack of dining options. The University is already in the process of addressing the lack of food and social space on Central by moving Uncle Harry’s general store to make room for a new restaurant—scheduled to open later this Fall—which will serve beer and wine to the largley over-21 population that resides on Central. Uncle Harry’s will reopen in the nearby Mill Village, a series of old buildings currently used for storage, which will be renovated to provide common areas for students’ use. Although Mill Village plans have not been completely finalized, Nowicki said the new complex will probably include an exercise facility, meeting and study rooms with ePrint and wireless access and several outdoor spaces. Nowicki added that the Mill Village will also likely host a Duke University Police Department substation, similar to the one in Bell Tower dormitory on East Campus, in order

give students a better sense of security. “Other things we’re going to do for security are to remind people that Central is not a dangerous place—the crime that happens there is usually petty larceny, which is just people stealing something,” he said. “I do understand that security is as much a matter of perception as reality, so we are going to do several things to change the perception to

ofCentral.” But DUPD Chief John Dailey said although the department has been allotted space on the middle campus, plans to add a hub are still subject to change. “We would prefer our officers to be out in the community interacting with the residents of Central Campus, so we will see how it fits into our general philosophy and practices,” Dailey said. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said with a new police substation and new gates and fences, access to Central will be under stricter control than it is currently. Central Campus would potentially be surrounded by estate fencing with piers made of Duke stone or brick, Nowicki said. He added that well-lit paths are crucial to fostering a sense of safety. Although the new restaurant and proposed common spaces are scheduled to be completed this Fall, Trask said improvements to the apartments themselves will begin in a second phase ofrenovations starting next This summer, two apartments will be renovated into model apartments so students will have the opportunity to look at the interiors over the course of the year, Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said. Among those renovations, the old appliances and fixtures will be replaced as well as fresh paint and new carpeting, Nowicki said. “It’s kind of going to give a much better sense of them being reasonably nice places,” he said.

N.C. budget fails to draw consensus by

Julius Jones

THE CHRONICLE

Unable to close the largest budget shortfall in North Carolina history, state lawmakers passed an emergency measure to keep the government in business June 25. State law requires the legislature to plug the $4.7 billion hole in the 2009-2010 fiscal year budget by the end of the legislative session July 1. Although the North Carolina House of Representatives and the state Senate have each passed different versions of the budget, both bills use a combination of tax and fee increases and deep spending cuts to achieve this goal. Lawmakers in both chambers of the legislature have given themselves more time to reconcile the differences in their proposed budgets, as a compromise seems unlikely given the sharp disagreements over how best to close the budget gap. The continuing resolution will fund government at 85 percent of the current spending levels. Republicans in the legislature and Gov. Bev Perdue, a Democrat, have criticized the budget resolution, which was written by a legislature controlled by Democrats. Although Republicans have said the $BOO million in tax and fee increases will hinder economic recovery, Perdue has called on the legislature to approve additional tax increases to avoid making steep cuts in education. “I applaud the General Assembly for their work to put a budget together. But in North Carolina we must act boldly to protect the classroom,” Perdue, a former public school teacher with a Ph.D. in education administration, said in a statement June 17. “We will cut deep. We will do more with less. But as state leaders, we cannot increase class size, we cannot lay off teachers and we cannot sacrifice our economic future.” SEE NC BUDGET ON PAGE 12

Performance Opportunities

Chamber Music Ensembles, coordinated by Jonathan Bagg, explore the repertoire for string quartet, piano trio, vocal duet, etc. Each group receives weekly coachings with a member of the performance faculty in preparation for a public performance at the end of the term. The focus is on in-depth study of one or two complete works, allowing students to develop and refine their ensemble skills.

The Duke Jazz Ensemble, directed by John Brown, has a rich history of excellence. The ensemble performs at least two concerts each semester with guest artists noted for their high level of artistic achievement. Guest artists for 2008-09 included Russell Malone and Bernard Purdie. Additional performance opportunities are available through small group Jazz Combos.

The Duke Chorale, directed by Rodney Wynkoop, is a concert and touring choir of 50 singers. This year’s annual Spring Break tour will go to New England. The group’s 2008-09 repertoire included several short pieces and Handel’s Israel in Egypt The Chorale rehearses Tuesday and Thursday from 7:15-9:15 pm. The Chorale’s 24-voice Chamber Choir rehearses afterwards on Tuesday.

The Duke New Music Ensemble [dnme], coordinated by Dan Ruccia, brings 20th and 21st century music to the fore, including new works by Duke graduate composers.

The Duke Collegium Musicum, directed by Karen Cook, is devoted to the performance of early music, including Gregorian chant, Renaissance motets and madrigals, and Baroque sonatas and cantatas. Opportunities exist for singers and for those who would like to participate in recorder or viol consorts, or perform on other early instruments. The Collegium rehearses once a week for a two-hour period. The Duke Djembe Ensemble, directed by Bradley Simmons, offers an exciting opportunity for students to develop skill in the art of West African drumming. The Djembe Ensemble memorizes each rhythm, just as the Mandinque people have for hundreds ofyears.

The Duke Opera Workshop, coordinated by Susan Dunn, presents operas and opera scenes in staged concert as well as musical theater revues. Last year’s production was Die Fledermaus, presented as a full opera with orchestra. An info meeting will be held on Wed., Aug. 26 at 4:30 pm in Baldwin Auditorium. The Duke Symphony Orchestra is directed by Harry Davidson. This year’s repertoire will include works by Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Schumann, as well as a production of Mozart’s comic opera, Cosifan tutti, performed with professional opera singers. A benefit concert in Beaufort, SC is also offered each spring. Please join us for auditions with a prepared solo piece and the ability to sight-read an excerpt. The Duke Wind Symphony will be led by new director Verena Mosenbichler, who has recently completed her D.M.A. in Wind Conducting at the University of Texas, Austin. The Wind Symphony performs a wide variety of high level wind band music. The 2009-10 season will include formal concerts and the annual Viennese Ball.

CENTRAL from page 4 “I’ve made it very clear to Campus Council that I don’t want them to exile a fraternity out to Central as a punishment,” Nowicki said. “I don’t want it to seem like a punishment—l’m looking for a socially responsible group, of which there are many, and we are willing to do what we can to work with them and incentivize the move.” Moneta said administrators were prepared to do what they could to optimize the environment for a fraternity, particularly in terms of good common space and location “In some respects, Duke’s fraternities aren’t as well regarded for things they do beyond the social, and this is an opportunity to show things like philanthropy,” he said. Fraternities that choose to Low-end estimated cost of relocate to Central may also receive first pick of locations Phase I of New Campus when New Campus is eventually built. “That’s interesting because that won’t benefit the members now, but they might be willing to do this for future generations,” NoHigh-end estimated budget wicki said. for Central Campus upgrades Many of the changes being made this summer are unlikely to be completed by the time students move in this Fall, but students will find refinished basketball courts and a turf field in place of the current tennis courts on Central. Nowicki said administrators recognize Central’s overhaul as a top priority, and he is confident the University will not back out of the plans. “I’m pushing very hard to really push this along—I just keep pointing out that we can’t wait any longer,” he said. “Unless you can give me a really good reason why this can’t be done by a time, it has to be.”

A cheaper alternative to New Campus [Planning for Central] startedwhen it became apparent that we would not be able to build New Campus immediately,” Trask said. “It became clear we would not be able to let Central just sit there.” He added that without the delay of New Campus construction, many of the proposed changes to Central would probably not take place. Phase I ofNew Campus was expected to cost $4OO to $450 million, but Central is budgeted between $l2 and $l5 million, Nowicki said. “On the one hand, that’s a heck of a lot of money, but on the other hand, that’s necessary to make Central better for a decade,” he added Once New Campus is built, Central will no longer house undergraduate students, but administrators said some parts may still be used for graduate or visiting faculty housing. “The investments really are short-term for the next generation or two ofDuke students, not long-tem investments for the future,” he said. Trask said the University will probably stay within its current budget, although the most expensive parts of the plan have not been started. The project will be financed mainly through rent revenues, Moneta said, and will not detract from any other University projects or raise housing fees. “The money is basically money that can come from existing residence life resources,” Nowicki said. “When you pay rent to Duke, part of that is for maintenance of the facilities. There’s always a certain amount of capital in reserve for deferred maintenance, and they have accumulated some resources in that account to get us started.” Last Spring, the University hired consulting firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas and Co. to meet with administrators and Central residents. Campus Council has collected data on students’ opinions of Central in an effort to determine what changes need to be made to the campus. “Everything we’ve done has been derived from intense conversations with students,” Moneta said. “We’re not just making this up as we go along.” Lindsey Rupp contributed reporting. “

YA funds lag for undergrads Lindsey Rupp THE CHRONICLE

The University has pledged $770,000 across all its schools to veterans as part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon Program. But only $15,000 will go to eligible undergraduate veterans —the bulk of the funds will go to those seeking graduate degrees. The schools decided individually how much money each “could afford to spend” and how many eligible veterans it would offer the money to, said Alison Rabil, assistant vice provost and director of Financial Aid. The initiative supports veterans who meet the maximum service requirements of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The Pratt School of Engineering will provide $5,000 to one veteran and the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences pledged a total of $lO,OOO to two eligible veterans per year. But the Fuqua School of Business has offered the most so far with $17,500 per year going to each of its 25 qualifying veterans. Michael Mclnemey, outgoing president of the Student Veteran’s Association at Duke who graduated from the Terry Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy in May, said he was surprised the University did not allot more money for undergraduate use. “Out of that $770,000 that they came up with, it wouldn’t take much to really support the undergraduates,” Mclnerney said. “And they’re really in the most need because you can argue if you’re at Fuqua you’re going to see an immediate return on your money, but ifyou’re an undergraduate you’re starting out on the bottom rung somewhere.” The University is not the only private institution ofitskind to offer aid. Many of Duke’s peer institutions have either offered more aid to undergraduates or offered less money to more eligible veterans. Harvard University has offered $3,000 to each of its 15 eligible undergraduate veterans and Dartmouth College has offered $19,223 per student to an unlimited number of qualifying undergraduate veterans, the VA Web site reports.

LDOC survey spurs alcohol debate by

Catherine Butsch THE CHRONICLE

During this year’s Last Day of Classes celebration April 22, Tom Szigethy, associate dean and director of Duke’s Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention Center, came across a freshman passed out drunk on the ground. A group of students was standing near him, but no one had called Emergency Medical Services. The students said the freshman had been there for an hour but that he had “moved every once in a while,” so “he [was] okay,” Szigethy recalled. The associate dean made sure the student got medical attention. Szigethy said he repeatedly witnessed seriously inebriated students being ignored by their peers. The following Monday, April 27, he sent out a survey to the undergraduate student body to gauge students’ opinions about the purpose of LDOC.

BLUE from page 3 the chair of the Board of Trustees,” said George Christie, James B. Duke professor of law and one ofBlue’s former professors at Duke. “I thought he was destined for some serious positions in life, and in large part he’s accomplished that, he’s had a distinguished career.” Blue said he does not know whether he will pursue another term in the N.C. Senate when his current term ends next year. “I think the Senate is a very important calling, but I’ll be quite frank—I’m certainly considering helping to lead Duke to be the most important task at hand,” he said. Currendy spending his dme moving between his four offices, Blue said he was up to the challenge of taking on so many important roles. “It’s not difficult,” he said. “I learned a long time ago how to delegate and still get stuffdone that you need to get done.” Blue’s political background is a marked change from that of previous Chair Robert Steel, Trinity ’73, who served as chief executive officer ofWachovia. “This is thefirst time Duke will have a prominent voice in the General Assembly,” said Phail Wynn, vice president for Durham and regional aflairs. “He commands a great deal of respect and has high ethical standards.” Wynn added that Blue’s political connections will be advantageous to the Board. “He’s still very well-connected in Raleigh—locally as well as nationally—and can provide real help to Durham in terms of federal programs and federal dollars,” he said. “He brings a different network of connections.” Blue said his experience in politics may bring some perspective to the table other board members do not have from having to go out and explain issues to the electorate. He added, however, that he did not

think his political expertise will result in a change in the way the Board is governed. “I don’t think I’m that unique as far as Duke board members are concerned. I think all of us have an understanding of University constituencies,” he said. “It may be that I’m more in the public view, because I have set policy for the state, so from a visibility standpoint, I may make Duke more visible in those circles, but at the end of the day it’s about Duke.” Blue takes on the role of chair of the Board of Trustees at a challenging timefor the University, as administrators attempt to eliminate a $125 million deficit. The Board approved a “flat” $l.B billion budget for the 2009-2010 fiscal year at the same meeting in May during which Blue was elected the next chair. “[Duke is] still very much in a growing mode, and we have to make sure we help set the vision for it so it continues to grow in the best way possible and create the best place for these exceptionally talented students we have,” Blue said. “Whatever it takes in this age of competition and the challenge of financial resources, we are doing things that continue to have our University excel and exceed even some of the threshold expectations some of us may have set for it.” He added that in the current financial climate, it is especially important to focus on the University’s priorities, noting that the Board will ask the administration to ensure that decisions are “well thought-out.” “We use all of the resources to our best advantage and it’s terms like these that you go through and make sure where you’re spending the resources are the very best places to spend them,” Blue said. “To be as great of stewards of the University’s resources [as possible] and to be ofassistance to the administration and basically ensure that Duke continues on its path of greatness—that’s what we think about with every decision that we make.”

FARMER from page 3 Farmer, you can see where it ties in totally with what we’re trying to accomplish.” Still, Farmer said he believes all of the diverse voices on the Board, regardless of their backgrounds, are interested in answering the same central question—“How can a modem research university address the problems of the world at-large?” “I think the basic goal of a research university is to learn how to link research and teaching—those main activities of a research university—to service, to addressing problems that are out there right now,” he said. “I imagine I’ve been invited because I care so much about how research universities fit into the world.” Farmer’s election to the Board comes four years after the University made civic engagement one of the centerpieces of its 2006 strategic plan “Making a Difference” and two years after the launch of

DukeEngage—the University’s 130-mil-

lion civic engagement initiative. “His perspective on education on health and society and especially his global health orientation will be extremely valuable to Duke as we continue to enhance our own aspirations,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. Farmer has watched many of the developments at the University in the past decade with enthusiasm, he said, coming back on several occasions to speak about global health at the request ofhis former colleague at the Harvard Medical Center, Victor Dzau, now the chancellor of health affairs at Duke. It was through Dzau that Farmer met President Richard Brodhead and was set on the path to becoming a full-fledged Trustee. “I haven’t found myself often going, ‘Gosh, I wish Duke hadn’t done that,”’ Farmer said. “The University is on firm

footing and on the right path that has been laid out over a long period of time... from a small institution with fairly basic teaching and training goals to a major research university that has an impact on the world at large.” As a self-professed “grateful alumnus,” Farmer said he hopes to focus his energies on the Board in enhancing high quality undergraduate teaching and scholarship as well as working closely with the

Global Health Institute and the School of Medicine. His last official visit to his alma mater was in April 2008 to deliver the inaugural Global Health Lecture. “He’s going to bring not only a lot of his global health background, but a lot of himself,” Dzau said. “He is a passionate physician who cares about... society in general and that is an asset to any facility.” Farmer is not the first high-profile global health crusader to make the leap from non-profit work to higher education. His colleague and co-founder of Partners in Health, Jim Yong Kim, was named president of Dartmouth College last year. “I see these universities, including Duke, as a hotbed for leadership and in answering all of the big questions that I and many others have been asking,” Farmer said. “For both of us, this sort of involvement is a logical outcome for our long-standing commitment to education.” And when new freshmen step onto East Campus this Fall, they will be part of a group thatFarmer believes is better prepared to face the challenges of the world than even their Duke predecessors. “When I go back to campus, I meet a lot of undergraduates who already know many things that it took me years to learn about the world,” Farmer said. “It just seems to be a larger part of the everyday concern of the University now.” Lindsey Rupp and Toni Wei contributed to the reporting for this article.

NC BUDGET frompageS Engineers devise new brain tumor treatment A team of Duke engineers has designed a new, minimally invasive way to treat brain tumors. The treatment outlined in the proof-of-concept study would combine chemotherapy drugs, carried through the bloodstream by heat-sensitive liposomes, with a catheter, which would generate a 3-D image of the tumor before generating heat that would allow the cancer-fighting drugs to be released directly to the site of the tumor. Carl Herickhoff, a fourthyear graduate student in the Pratt School of Engineering who assisted with the research, said this approach would have

fewer of the invasive side effects of surgery or traditional chemotherapy. The method would also help the chemotherapy drugs reach the tumor in greater concentrations, as experiments showed researchers could build a catheter small enough to inject directly into one of the brain’s blood vesels, which conventional therapy has not yet achieved, Herickhoff said, “The temperature increase would be about four degrees Celsius—enough to melt the liposome, but not enough to damage surrounding tissue,” HerickhofF said. “No one has tried this approach before in the brain.”

DUKE IN LA from page 5 The one-year break in the program will be used to ex-

Rep. Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, said the budget is full of waste that was not removed during the budget process. “In the media, they are telling you that these taxes are to save programs that are vital to the public health,” he said. “What they are failing to tell you is that they have programs in the base budget that are not critical to health and public welfare.” In order to close the budget gap, the budget calls for increasing the highest income tax brackets, rasing the state sales tax from 6.75 percent to 7 percent and adding 1.5 percent to the state liquor tax rate. The budget also calls for the creation of new taxes, some of them the first of their kind in the United States. Warranties, installations, repairs and maintenance—such as those

$1 billion in additional revenue—most likely the result of increases—to help avoid she says will “cripple education.” Currently, the legislature has appropriated $lO.B billion for education, totalling more than half the state’s $18.5 billion general fund budget. To generate public support for her plan, Perdue is barnstorming across the state, holding rallies in Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte, Asheville, Greenville and Wilmington.

other way of looking at it,” Wellman said. ‘You don’t go to LA for anything other than [the film and production business] —it does one thing and does it well. That’s why the program was originally [part ofFVD].” Wellman added that she felt the original program did not preclude students with different interests from participating. Riley said given the small numbers of students who have participated in the program in the past, she thinks there are very few students who will be significandy impacted by the cancellation. “Hopefully, the few students who may find themselves in this situation will be able to reconfigure their academic program to adjust to this change in the schedule,” she said. “Alternatively, they might explore other programs that would offer something similar to what the Duke in LA program had to offer, if readjusting their schedule is not possible.”

Additional taxes would also be applied to movie and amusement park tickets. Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, said the “creative” new taxes will affect everyone in North Carolina not just the wealthy, as Democrats claim. He noted that raising taxes during a recession will not help lift the state out of the current recession. “The economists tell us that when you are in a recession, increasing taxes creates a drag on the economy,” he said. “Not only is it not helpful, but some will argue that the increasing of taxes will only exasperate the recession.” —

Although applications for the program are not due until early Fall, most students who would participate in Duke in LA this Spring were already well into planning for the experience, Wellman said. “I’d already started looking at housing, my family had already made plans and I overloaded last semester because I knew I needed to get certain credits in,” she said. “That’s where I want to be and where I want to learn and study. I’m not going to miss my senior year—you learn from experience and the idea of graduating from the bubble that is Duke and wandering into LA is not really how that city works.” Senior Margaret Skoglund, a Duke in LA participant in Spring 2008, said the industry is all about who you know, and Duke in LA’s cancellation will affect program alumni as well as potential participants. “For me, that’s a whole group of contacts I just lost,” she said. “It’s really unfair for them to cancel it this late.”

Duke and Durha Employees hear brunt ofDuke's SSOM cuts Lindsey Rupp THE CHRONICLE

by

University officials have announced that Duke will offer a cash incentive to salary employees as it tries to reduce its human resources expenses even more. Although the University has already offered retirement incentives to 825 bi-weekly employees, the retirement package alone does not provide enough money for retirees to live on. As the next step to reduce its $125 million deficit and cut $5O million from the budget this year, University officials plan to offer an undecided amount of cash to some or all salaried employees who meet Duke’s requirements to retire—the Rule of 75, said Kyle Cavanaugh, vice president for human resources. An employee meets the Rule of 75 when his or her age and consecutive years of service sum to 75 or greater. Cavanaugh said more than 800 Duke employees meet the rule, adding that University officials are “in active discussions” about which positions they might offer an incentive to and how much money an incentive might include. “It would be a completely voluntary program, and the whole goal of these programs is to reduce the head count so we don’t have to do any involuntary separations,” Cavanaugh said. He added that he expects administrators to decide on a package in July following a final acceptance rate from the staff early retirement program. Eligible employees will likely receive an offer in August The retirement incentives follow several other efforts to reduce the budget, including last academic year’s limited, one-time compensation for employees and the partial hiring freeze. The incentives also come as Harvard University announced June 23 that it would lay off 275 staff em-

ployees and 40 more employees will have their hours changed orreduced. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said “there’s no immediate jeopardy” of job loss at Duke. Still, Cavanaugh said he could not rule out layoffs in the future. “I think it’s still a little too early to tell,” he said. “We’re working very, very hard to avoid having to do anything like that, but again, whether have to do anything along those lines is contingent on how successful those other steps are.” So far, the early retirement incentive has exceeded administrators’ exT »

pectations. The package was available to staff employees paid on a bi-weekly basis

who are at least 50 years old and have worked for 10 or more years at the University. The program has an approximately 17 percent acceptance rate, Cavanaugh said, which is well above the original 10 percent estimate. Trask said the more than 150 employees who have accepted the package as of June 24 puts the University on track to meet its goal of 200 acceptances. If200 employees accept the incentive, it will cut $l5 to $2O million from the operatingbudget, Trask said. Still, according to several staff employees both eligible and not, the package does not provide retirees with enough money to live on. Bi-weekly employees receive a basic pension plan upon retirement, and the monthly payment from Duke is “not enough to make ends meet,” said Gary Corona, a postal clerk who is not eligible for the incentive. '

Employees feel cutbacks Staff members said the people who accept the incentive will likely be those who are 62 or older and can draw social security benefits, those who are willing to work part-time or those who have an external source ofincome. Georgia Terrell, a seniorlead food service worker who is eligible for the early retirement package but has decided to refuse it, said she would have to find an additional source ofincome if she took the incentive because she is not yet eligible for social security benefits. She said she would not willingly leave a job in this economy. SEE EMPLOYEES ON PAGE 19

At the same time, the Duke University Management Company has increased its 30-day liquidity to $1 billion funds available within 30 days—which is currently held in cash, stocks and high-grade bonds, said Trask, a member of DUMAC’s nine-person Board ofDirectors. “We got close to the point of not knowing whether we had any liquidity, which is why We borrowed the $5OO million [in March] to make sure we have liquidity,” he said. “And now we’re convinced that now there is something like a billion dollars of rapid access liquidity in the pool.” Trask added that it is “inconceivable” to him that Duke would ever need $1 billion dollars within a week or a —

Durham braces for a smaller Duke by

THE CHRONICLE

During the deepest recession in recent memory, even the nation’s wealthiest universities are slashing their budgets and producing serious economic consequences for the communities in which they reside. The most recent economic impact study conducted by the Office of Public Affairs and Government Relations estimated thatDuke generated an estimated $3.4 billion during the 2006-2007 fiscal year for the City and County of Durham economies. But with the University curtailing spending as it attempts to close a $125 million budget deficit over the next three years, there will be a decrease in local investment. Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said although the University will meet all of its current obligations and pledges in terms of investment, it will not be entering into any more commitments in the foreseeable future. “We made it clear in the beginning we would do our share, but now it’s time for others to do theirs,” he said. “There’s momentum downtown and other companies are moving down there and they wouldn’t have been if Duke hadn’t started five years ago.” Durham feels real estate pinch Given the size of the University’s investment in the community, especially in revitalizing downtown Durham, it is unlikely that another company or institution would be able to fill the gap. According to the study, Duke spent approximately $227 million on construction services alone in the 2006-2007 fiscal year. Casey Steinbacher, president and chief executive officer of the Durham Chamber of Commerce, said a large number of development projects in Durham can only begin because of Duke’s commitment to lease space in the new buildings

when construction is completed. “They have been very successful with their leasing program throughout Durham, and specifically downtown Durham, in using their leases*to help development projects get off the ground,” she said, adding that Duke will help reverse the downward real estate cycle. Perhaps the most prominent example of Duke’s investment downtown is the American Tobacco Campus, where the University is the largest tenant. When Duke completes its previously planned move downtown, the 1 million sq.-ft. complex will be home to more than 500 employees. Bill Kalkhof, president of Downtown Durham, Inc., said without Duke, the American Tobacco Campus could not have existed. Currently, the University leases approximately 210,000 square feet of commercial space in the complex. “Duke has been the major player in helping the development of downtown Durham,” Kalkhof said. “Duke’s contribution to the ongoing revitalization of downtown has been remarkable and they are certainly one who deserves all the major credit.” Durham City Manager Tom Bonfield said many private companies—who often partner with the University to develop commercial property have also abandoned new construction projects in Durham.

GRADUATES from page 1 Alex Beilis, Trinity ’O9, is part of the unfortunate 22 percent. Beilis said she has wanted to work in advertising since her freshman year. She began her search last Fall, but remains unemployed. “Advertising is the first thing that companies cut from their budget in times of crisis, so many agencies were impacted,” Beilis wrote in an e-mail. “Though there are more and more jobs listed everyday, I have been surprised by how few entry-level positions there are out there.” Although Holmberg laughs about his frequent flier miles, he and many other graduates have learned how exhausting it is to send 100 resumes to employers in a week and only get three interviews, he said. “It’s frustrating because we all work really hard not only to get into Duke but also to get awards and graduate with a good GPA, and despite all the work we put in, there are low returns when you’re in the job market,” Holmberg said. “When a recruiter tells you, ‘lf it were any other year...’ it’s really no consolation.” Some students are trying to avoid the work force altogether. It is difficult to know exactly what the Class of 2009 is doing now because of the low response rate to the senior survey, said William WrightSwadel, Fannie Mitchell executive director of career services. He noted that the low response rate may in part be due to seniors not yet knowing their plans. Wright-Swadel estimates that 30 percent of the Class of 2009 will go to gradu-~ ate school in the Fall, including at least 30 or 40 who will attend a graduate business program. William Evans, Trinity ’O9, will attend Georgetown Law in the Fall, as he has planned since high school. Evans said he

expects competition in and out of school to be tougher this year with increased applications and higher selectivity. He has already noticed fierce competition even for a summer job. “I always look for a job in the summer, and the classifieds used to be three or four pages long,” he said. “Now they’re a few paragraphs and they are jobs that have really obscure qualifications or they’re really high turnover jobs, like a retail job in a mall.”

Branching out For those who are in the job market, Wright-Swadel said graduates must be open to different options. “Our students thinkthere are three places in the universe—New York, Washington and wherever they’re from,” Wright-Swadel said. “I’m sorry, there are some really great opportunities... and students need to begin to look more broadly at where are the seminal job opportunities in the world market rather than simply, ‘What can I find in New York?’” To that end, 2009 graduates are quickly learning to be flexible and considering unconventional opportunities, career counselors at several universities said. Wright-Swadel and Tim Stiles, associate director of University Career Services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said they have seen increased interest in alternative career paths like public service and non-profitjobs. Barbara Hewitt, senior associate director of Career Services at the University of Pennsylvania who works with students from the Wharton School of Business, said she reminds students that every job is a learning opportunity. “Even if it’s just waiting tables, that can be very helpful for the future,” Hewitt said.

Adam Weiss, Trinity ’O9, took a nontraditional route to his job as a bilingual third grade teacher. A political science and Spanish double major, Weiss applied forjobs at non-profit businesses and Teach For America. After taking additional summer certification courses, he quickly found a job. Weiss said there are still jobs available, but graduates need to be resourceful and look in lower-paying markets—like education—they might not have otherwise considered.

“I think getting a six-figure salary in five years almost seems like a myth n0w...” Adam Weiss, Trinity ’O9 “I think getting a six-figure salary in five years almost seems like a myth now, whereas when I started at Duke, it was understood that that was possible,” Weiss said. “It’s almost like we thought we were entitled to that.” The silver lining Non-profits, in particular, have become an attractive “Plan B” destination for graduates looking for temporary job security. Teach for America, a non-profit that recruits top college graduates to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools, has a record 35,000 applicants this year. Eleven percent ofDuke seniors applied to TEA this past year, as did 11 percent ofall Ivy League seniors, said Lorraine Anderson, managing director of regional communications. This, in turn, has made getting into organizations like TEA more competitive.

“It’s not enough to simply be a 3.7 from Duke in English Lit and assume that everyone in the world knows what that means,” Wright-Swadel said. “It’s really up to you t0... differentiate [yourself], and it is going to come from not why you think you’d be a good TEA person... but what differentiates you from other students like yourself.” Since its inception in 1990, 300 Duke graduates have joined TEA, Anderson said. And for at least two years, TEA has been the single largest employer of the Duke graduates. Thirty graduates will join the 2009 corps in the Fall, she added. “In these challenging times, young people are taking time to evaluate what is really important to them and are seeing an opportunity to pursue more meaningful careers that they may not have considered previously,” Anderson said. One new corps member is Aileen Liu, an English major who graduated from Trinity in the Fall. Although many of her friends also applied to the program, Liu said TEA appealed to her because she was unsure of her plans after graduation. Liu said she agrees more people are working in non-profits, but added that she sees the increase as a trend rather than a shift in mindset. Graduates will continue to seek high-paying careers —particularly to pay back Duke’s price tag, she said. Holmberg, however, said he is lucky to have found an opportunity that is such a good fit for him, even if it wasn’t his first choice, adding that he is optimistic about the future of the Class of 2009. “I’m a firm believer in the fact that life is long and I have a lot of opportunities,” Holmberg said. “What drew people to finance was the money, and now they are finding deeper meaning in the work they d0.... It’s a silver lining to the economic downturn.”

TAILGATE from page 9 we need to shut down Tailgate. It’s more like [they’re] not going to participate because there’s no other option.” Schork added that an overwhelming number of people were in favor of Tailgate’s current location in the Blue Zone’s first lot, whether or not they are regular attendees. Many students had suggested the addition of a separate space for moreTraditional tailgating with cars and grilling. “One of the only things is thatthe problem with the current location, in order to have a successful Tailgate where you have Tailgate and traditional tailgating, you; really need to have more space, giveri'the nature ofboth events,” Schork said. “There are a lot of students who are for tailgating—they need their own experience and we want to accommodate both groups, or footbalf will lose part of its fan base.” But Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said there was no chance of allotting more space for stu5

dent tailgating. “The football program is expecting a significant increase in fans next year, and we’re going to need all of the parking space,” he said One of the most common survey responses on how Tailgate could be improved was to make more food and water available during the event, Schork said. Last Fall, the University offered water and snacks such as popcorn and pretzels during Tailgate, but the survey indicated that students are looking for opdons that provide more substantive food—including the grilling that comes with a traditional tailgate. Moneta said one option being considered is bringing in outside vendors, such as Durham’s Onlyßurger, to serve students at Tailgate, although discussions are still ongoing. The survey also reflected that many students who attend Tailgate also raised concerns about the amount of trash that litters the lot. “I was really surprised at the number of students who questioned recycling and the sustainability of Tailgate, en-

vironmentally speaking,” Nur said. “Those are definitely things we can try to fix, and that won’t change Tailgate for anyone—it will make it better for everyone.” But Moneta said cleaning up Tailgate is ultimately up to tailgaters themselves. “That’s a question I would address toward students,” Moneta said. “What will they do to stop creating such an unsightly, irresponsible, unseemly environment Nur said she is happy to see that many students who responded to the survey said they liked the diversity of

s

Tailgate.

“In terms of the kind of people that are hanging out together, it’s one of the things that goes against our nor-

mal social scene, where you have members of all different fraternities interacting in the same space as well as independents and girls in sororities,” she said. “We absolutely have to preserve that. It’s something that should not be taken lighdy.” Student leaders and administrators met Tuesday for the second time this summer to discuss changes to Tailgate, Moneta said.

“We think Duke is trying to make ‘a smaller Duke,’ we understand thaC'But there’s still the same Workload going on,” she said. “I justcan’t see a smaller Duke over here where I work in Dining Services. We have to cook all thatfood fronfscratch, and these students come through here for a hot nreal, and you’re going to heed that labor.” Although the University is trying to shrink its staff size, Joe Martin, a security officer who will take the incentive, said he does not thinkDuke is targeting any specific individuals or groups. “I don’tthink the University wants to go to any extreme measures,” Martin said. “But unfortunately like in any business... they’ll eventually have to make changes if this doesn’twork” Even on a departmental level, the University is already making changes. Duke University Police Department Chief John Dailey said DUPD is losing some staff members to the early retirement incentive, but plans to replace them. Academic departments are preparing to cut back, too. Michael Munger, chair ofthe political science department andformer Libertarian candidate for North Carolina governor, said all departments are currendy working on a “revised strategic plan.” The political science department plans to cut faculty excesses such as visiting professors, research and travel money as well as new technology, copying and extra phone lines, Munger wrote in an e-mail. The department's not cutting academic and instructional resources, he added. Instead, the department is putting more faculty in classrooms to make up for the loss of adjunct and visiting instruction staff. Munger said the department added two new faculty members, including Sunshine Hillygus, associate professor of government and director of the Program on Survey Research at Harvard. Munger said he is optimistic about the administration’sability to make long-term changes that will benefitstudents and Duke. “If we have trouble for two years, we can make this work,” Munger said. “The problems are going to come as we find out what new constraints, and financial challenges, the department and the University are going to have to rpeet in the longer run.... It remains to be seen if things are going to be anything like they were. I expect that things will be different, though I am not sure just how.”

Preparing for the long-run For other universities, changes resulting from budget cuts are not only imminent, they will directly affect students. If North Carolina approves a state budget today that includes an 11 percent budget cut across the University of North Carolina system, students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will feel effects that would be “severe and longlasting, especially for students’ access and for the quality of the education they would receive,” UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp wrote in a formal notice to faculty and staff June 2. Cuts would include eliminating 500 class sessions and admitting 500 fewer students in Fall 2010, Thorp said. At Duke, academic programs are relatively safe for the 20092010 academic year. Steve Nowicki, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education, said academic cuts will be “negligible to none in the coming year.” Next academic year may prove different, however, as the University’s endowment returns are calculated on a three year average and the 2010-2011 year will have lower returns than this year. Trask said thisyear heis focused on cutting excesses in spending and increasing efficiency in thecentral administration. As the University works to cutits budgetand its|l2s million deficit, Nowicki said everyone at Duke needs to change their attitudes as well as theirbudgets. “Flat is the new up, and people have to get used to that. No one is used to that.” *

that either will come back with commitments until the economy recovers, he said. “As Duke makes cuts to get through the economic crisis, we believe that as Duke’s economic situation improves, it would coincide with the city’s economic improvement as well,” he said. The University currently leases approximately 1.4 million sq.-ft. of office space in Durham and Durham County—making Duke and the Duke University Health System Durham’s largest tenant, leasing nearly 30 percent of all office space in the county, according to the economic impact study. Any decrease in development will mean fewer construction jobs, said Larry Parker, spokesperson for the North Carolina Employment Security Commission. According to statistics released by the ESC, the construction sector lost 2,100 jobs statewide in May.

as GM going under as I am with the quality of the service I receive when I come into the dealership,” said Durham resident Richard Reid who was purchasing a Cadillac STS at Hendrick Durham Auto Mall. Reid said he has always valued the uniqueness of the company’s cars, though he would not describe himself as a loyal GM customer. “What I am a loyal customer of is service and quality,” he said. “I stand behind them whole-heartedly because they stand behind their vehicles.... They try to put the very best in their vehicles.” GM officials have said repeatedly that they are working to ensure customers knows the automaker stands behind its vehicles even after filing for bankruptcy. “GM dealers will continue to service GM vehicles and honor GM warranties, and U.S. and Canadian government guarantees of manufacturers’ warranties are designed to reassure consumers,” officials said June 1 in a press release announcing the filing.

The labor cost In addition to the indirect employment opportunities created by Duke’s investments, the University and DUHS combined are the largest employers in Durham County, Steinbacher said. According to the University’s 2006-2007 study, 49.6 percent of Duke’s 39,782 employees live in Durham. Currently, the University is offering early retirement incentives to 825 bi-weekly employees to close its $125 million budget deficit. If this option does not provide the necessary savings, then Duke may offer early retirement to its salaried employers whose age and total numbers of years employed by Duke are equal to or greater than 75, according to the Rule of 75, Trask said. He noted that the administration was only in the beginning stages of planing for that outcome. Trask said he cannot project the number of employees who would be laid off or if any employees would be laid off at all, because the University will wait until both retirement incentive programs are completed. If the University reaches that point, then employees will be compensated based on Duke’s employee compensation program, which constitutes a week of pay for every week they worked at Duke and their vacation accrual, he said. After Duke’s employee compensation ends, University workers—many of whom only make between $20,000 and $30,000 annually—could face a difficult time finding another job, several University employees said. In May, unemployment reached 8.1 percent in the Durham and Chapel Hill metropolitan area, according to the ESC. While that number is 3 percent less than the 11.1 percent state average, it is almost a 1 percent increase from the previous month. The unemployment rate in April was 7.3 percent in Durham and Chapel Hill. According to the ESC, only two of North Carolina s 11 economic sectors added jobs during May—Leisure & Hospitality Services and Trade, Transportation & Utilities. “Well, certainly it’s a difficult timefor anybody to find a job in North Carolina,” Parker said. “I think a lot of folks hear about education cuts and automatically think teacher, but there are others who work at the school... they are also affected by education cuts.” Millicent Rogers, an employee at the Duke Textbook Store, said although she would not like to be laid off, she is not too worried about the possibility because she would use the opportunity to go back to school. “I’m 24, I’m young and I have opportunities that my older co-workers who have kids and families don’t,” she said. “I haven’t been out of school that long. There are a plethora of opportunities that are available to me aren’t available to other people.” Part of the University’s plan to save $5O million this year is to freeze salaries and wages, which has some employees feeling as though there are slim prospects for upward career mobility at the University. Although the University does not offer additional assitance to employees who are laid off, the city of Durham currently offers workforce training programs to any Durham resident who loses his or her job, helping them reenter the job market, Bonfield said. He noted, however, that those programs will not be able to fully mitigate the effect ofjob cuts at Duke. “It would depend on the extent to which it happens, Bonfield said. “But, obviously, at the end of the day, when Duke employees or any company’s employees are laid-off, then there is an impact.” Rogers said while professors are an important part of the student experience at the University, the role the staff plays in the lives of students is often overlooked. not professors does not mean that “Just because we are to the atmosphere here at Duke for we are not essential the students,” she said.

Although Hendrick Durham Auto Mall’s business has remained strong despite the difficulties ofits parent company, other Durham car dealerships reported they have benefited from the negative publicity for GM and Chrysler. Jamie Young, sales manager at University Ford in downtown Durham, said some customers who come in to purchase cars noted Ford was the only one of the Big Three automakers not to receive government loans. “It might have played a small percentage role in their decision, but I think they chose Ford because of the quality of the vehicle,” Young said. He added that his dealership was especially busy selling used cars—50 percent of University Ford’s business comes from pre-owned vehicles. Demand is so high that the dealership often calls its car owners to ask them to turn in their used car and buy a new one at a steep discount. Additionally, new Ford models of Focus, Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have attracted buyers who are looking for more fuel-efficient vehicles, Young said. “Every one we get on the lot we sell,” Young said, referring to the Ford Fusion Hybrid. “The car business is doing great.... It’s not all doom and gloom.”

ENDOWMENT fon, page, 4 Poor’s 500 stock index had an annual return of 10.4 percent in the same period. In comparison, Duke’s Endowment grew by an average of 15.6 percent annually in the last 10 years, according to DUMAC. Trask said private equity caused most of the losses in Duke’s investments, and DUMAC has taken many steps toward lowering the risk of Duke’s portfolio since the start of the economic crisis. “The main change in the portfolio is that the leverage is now completely out of it,” he said. “There are no investments funded by borrowed money, which is in essence what leverage is.” Trask added that along with the deleveraging, the University has returned some of its loans and has not borrowed any more money since March. He noted, however, that Duke has not repaid any of the $5OO million in debt it raised in a March bond offering. “I believe, almost beyond any doubt, that we are out of any credit issues and any liquidity issues, which we never had compared to other people,” Trask said. The opportunity cost of holding money in bonds is compounded every year, so the difference in earnings between highgrade bonds and private equities is “astronomical,” Bryant said. He added, however, that there are occasions, such as the current economic environment, when bonds are the only investments that have positive returns. “The main purpose of investing in these types of instruments is their liquidity,” Emma Rasiel, associate director of undergraduate studies and assistant professor of economics, wrote in an e-mail. “Certainly yields on bonds are relatively low at pres-

ent—but that is a tradeoffagainst the need for liquidity.” Although Trask could not confirm the details of the transactions, Bryant said other private universities like Harvard have been marketing significant portions of their private equity positions to increase liquidity and Duke is probably doing the same. The endowment’s performance is subpar compared to national averages. According to Northern Trust Corp., a financial firm based in Chicago, the median return for endowments and foundations is negative 20 percent for the first 11 months of the July 2008 to June 2009 fiscal year, the Wall Street Journal reported June 23. During this period, Duke’s endowment lost 24.5 percent. In addition, although Trask said the endowment has grown 3 percent in May, the S&P 500 grew by 5.3 percent over the same period. Despite the portfolio’s weak performance, Trask said the University has made the right choices so far to handle the crisis. “I mean, we could have just sold everything and just funded all this stuff,” he said. “We didn’t want to make a $1.3 billion paper loss become a $1.3 billion actual loss until we knew we have no choice. And right now I think that was exactly the right thing for us to have done, because we’ve now picked up 3 percent on that pool, which if we had sold it, we would have been out of it.” No change in investment philosophy University endowments usually rely on the belief that as long-term investors, they have sufficient time to vie for large gains and make up the losses. “That’s what a lot of people got caught on liquidity problems, because those [investments] were essentially down the curb

and very hard to get back,” Trask said. He added, however, that despite the changes in Duke’s portfolio, the investment philosophy of DUMAC has not changed and will not change significantly. “It’s still the philosophy, although it’s been tempered by the deleveraging and by the liquification to the portfolio,” Trask said. “Its not as aggressively in that direcdon as it was a year ago.” Trask said the University’s low reliance on the endowment, which funds 15 to 16 percent of the annual operating budget, has allowed the University to make up for the losses over a longer period of time. He added that larger endowments at peer institutions fund 30 to 50 percent of those institutions’ annual budgets. “Duke’s low dependence on the endowment to fund operations does mean, though, that Duke may be able to afford to take a longer-term view in this

environment than some other schools,” Rasiel said. Trask said that as of May 31, the University’s “long-term pool,” which contains the endowment and other investments, has lost $1.3 billion, and is now valued at $5.8 billion. The pool is now composed of 8.5 percent in cash and fixed investments, 20 percent in real estate and 25 percent in equities, most of which are public. Trask noted that the University has lost very little on its real estate investments. The “short-term pool,” which contains mostly cash and cash equivalents, has been stable throughout the crisis. “I’m not worried about anything other than how to -get the overall total expenses down to accommodate the fact that a billion dollars plus has gone out of the investment pools and therefore the earnings on those funds are not available to be spent on an annual basis,” he said.

VETERANS from page 7 Emory University and Princeton University have not yet joined

the program at all, according to theWeb site. When comparing Duke to other universities, however, it is important to note that differences in size and funding availability may allow certain institutions to appear more generous than others, Provost Peter Lange said. Rahil said every school wanted to participate in the program but had to consider costs in the economic downturn. As a result, some schools have offered significandy more aid than others. Mclnemey said Fuqua does have significandy more veteran students than Trinity College, estimating that there may only be two or three undergraduate veterans at Duke, but the business school has Amount, in dollars, ofaid Duke more than a dozen students who to is offering each of its three have served.

Dartmouth is offering theaid Sheppard said in a statement to an unlimited number of Trinity College is also interested in supporting veterans and even students adding veterans to its programs, Dean ofAcademic Affairs Lee Baker wrote in an e-mail. “Veterans have distinctive life experiences and a demonstrated commitment to service, having more veterans in our classrooms and labs would add gready to the rich mix of ideas and perspectives on campus,” Baker said. In light ofits small veteran population, Mclnemey said he was surprised the University did not try to attract veterans to Trinity and the Pratt School of Engineering with more funding, considering most veterans seeking an undergraduate education do not have financial support from their parents. Veterans are generallyfinancially independent of theirparents during and after service, but University financial aid considers parental contribution when forming packages, Mclnemey said. “Every dollar [veterans] can get is really one less out of

their own pockets, which is probably not the case for most students,” he said. But Duke may not appeal to undergraduate veterans, Rabil said. Rather, veterans come to Duke seeking a graduate or professional education, which is reflected by the larger number of veterans that received the financial aid from the graduate school, Rabil said. Eligible veterans can transfer theirbenefits to a spouse orchild, and Rabil predicted that undergraduates applying for the Yellow Ribbon benefit may increase in the future, but they are likely to be children of veterans rather than veterans themselves. “We tend not to enroll non-traditional undergraduates,” Rabil said. ‘We don’t tend to have a lot of 24 to 26-year-olds, that’s not really our population.... Veterans are older and many would wonder whetherDuke would be the school ofchoice for a person who [enlisted] after high school, it might not be the group we appeal to versus someone like an officer’s child.” Mclnerney said any aid will be helpful to veterans. Still, the money and the number of eligible veterans is subject to re-evaluation every year, Rabil said. She added that schools had very little time to join the program and delegate funds this year. “I just think getting all of the deans of all of the schools to respond that quickly was an act of God,” Rabil said. “It was great, it showed people really wanted to participate and support these people.” The Yellow Ribbon Program is new, the deadline to join was June 15 and the money must be available to eligible veterans by Aug. 1. Because the schools and financial aid departments have had to act quickly to join the program, Rahil said the University has not finalized all of the details and the transition “may be a little bumpy.” Rabil said the schools will definitely provide the committed amount of aid by Aug. 1, but added that the schools will re-evaluate their monetary offers and their number of eligible students every year. In the future, Rabil said some schools may find they have more money to give or that they need to offer funds to an increased number of veterans as more apply. The University has a plan for how veterans can apply for aid. Veterans must receive a certificate of eligibility from the VA, then submittheir certificates to Jean Ross, the veterans’ Certifying Official for the Office of the University Registrar, Rabil said. Money must be awarded to eligible applicants on a firstcome, first-served basis according to the program, and Rabil said individual schools still have to determine how they will follow the rule.

LDOC from page 9 reason for students to restrain themselves.” Szigethy stressed that ASAP had “no hidden agenda” in sending out the survey and that it was meant to start a conversation about the drinking culture on campus and the real purpose of the day. “It seems like the students have an ‘us-them’ mentality,” he said. “They think that administrators are out to kill the party. The reality is that we’re out to end the trauma.” He added that alcohol consumption in and of itselfis not an issue but that it is extreme drinking that causes problems. “I never met anybody who appreciated being thrown up on,” he said. But for now, there are no definite changes planned for the event, Szigethy said. “Students really needn’t worry thatLDOC is going to be terrible or change drastically,” said Duke University Union President Zachary Perret, a senior. Ferret noted that in addition to excessive alcohol consumption, vandalism and the massive amounts of trash are other issues that need to be addressed. “I certainly do hope we make substantial changes with LDOC,” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta wrote in an e-mail. “At the very least, the disgusting trash left strewn on the [Main West Quadrangle] has to go.” One possible change to LDOC next year could be a shift away from such a long, festival-type feel toward a shorter event, Ferret said. Having three headliners draws a huge mass of students to the quad early in the evening. But with only two main performers, theLDOC committee could afford to pay each group more and the quad would not remain so crowded for so long. Szigethy said he is also considering moving the triage tent to a more visible-location so that students can take responsibility for their peers and can more easily see the adverse effects ofexcessive drinking. “We have to be willing to intervene,” he said. “People see [extreme drunkenness] so much at an event like that, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.... [But] the potential for permanent trauma is extreme in a case like that.”

Swine flu virus outbreak plagues campus Campers quarantined to contain HINI virus by

Emmeline Zhao THE CHRONICLE

As of June 26, seventeen confirmed cases and more than 20 suspected cases of the new HINI flu virus have been reported on campus, University officials said. The cases of the HINI virus, commonly known as swine flu, emerged from seasonal camp employees and students participating in on-campus summer programs, including Duke’s Talent Identification Program, the American Dance Festival and youth summer science and writing camps. ATI affected programs are located on East Campus and the virus has not yet spread to West Campus, said Dr. Bill Purdy, executive director ofStudent Health. University officials said the cases are mild and similar to the seasonal flu. “We’re very fortunate that all the cases we’ve had in our vicinity are relatively mild—milder than the traditional flu,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. “What we need to do in particular is not generate any hysteria because this flu itself as it has manifested is a mild strain.” Duke is also working closely with the Durham County Public Health Department and Duke’s infectious disease specialist to discuss protocols on how to handle the situation. Students, faculty and staff have not been officially alerted of the swine flu outbreak on campus because the chances of contracting swine flu are low, unless someone comes in direct contact with an infected person, said Michael Schoenfcld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “Influenza at summer camps is not unusual. It happens every year with young students or campers for various programs,” he said. “But monitoring health is a high priority because it’s clear that this was more significant than just the regular flu.” Student Health has stopped testing students for the HINI virus if they exhibit flulike symptoms, Purdy said.

“The word is, if anyone comes in and has the flu, it’s not the season that anyone would have the flu, so it’s most likely that they have the HINI flu,” he said. The University has been preparing to combat swine flu for several months and discussions on how to handle the situation will continue, Moneta said. He added that the next step is to anticipate who may be affected on campus, formulate appropriate communications systems and consider how the outbreak may affect campus when students return in the Fall. Students on campus are advised to wash their hands frequently, not share drinks with each other and cover their mouths with their sleeves if coughing. “On the outside, [the situation] seems fairly simple [to take care of],” Purdy said. “But it’s actually very complex with so many

kids on campus, so many programs, everyone from across the country. So that makes it very, very difficult.” Gayle Harris, director of the Durham County Public Health Department, could not be reached for comment Friday. The first case of swine flu that arose on campus was brought to Student Health’s attention June 15, Purdy said, but this was not the first instance of the flu at Duke this summer. Two campers arrived on campus carrying the strain and were sent home im-

mediately. If diagnosed, an infected person must be quarantined for seven days. Diagnosed students were required to go home immediately, but if a parent was unable to arrive in 24 hours, they were moved into Giles dormitory on East. According to the GDC Web site, the virus can only sur-

vive on surfaces for a maximum of eight hours after they are deposited there, so the dormitory will be safe to inhabit in the Fall, officials said. Purdy said the University is handling the situation in compliance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which suggest identifying the virus early, staying away from others if infected and practicing good hygiene. In efforts to contain the spread of the virus, University officials decided June 26 to indefinitely close Brodie Gym to all students, faculty, staff and community members except ADF participants, said Soren Nelson, assistant director of recreational facilities. The facility will reopen when officials deem it appropriate, said Deputy Director ofAthletics Chris Kennedy. The self-serve salad bar in The Marketplace has also been removed to lower the risk of Transmitting the virus. Students checking in to camps this week will be required to be briefly examined by medical personnel to test for signs of illness, Kennedy said. He added that staff at the Wilson Recreation Center on West are also taking extra precautions to clean equipment after use. “We’re trying to keep things as normal as possible,” Kennedy said. “That means instead of telling campers they can’t come, coming up with other measures to make sure it’s a safe environment.” TIP and ADF officials declined to com-

forwarding all inquiries to Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. The first case of swine flu in Durham was confirmed May 23. As of June 24, there were 179 confirmed cases of swine flu in North Carolina, according to numbers compiled by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. The Duke in Mexico study abroad program was canceled in May when the International Travel Oversight Committee placed Mexico on its restricted regions list as a result of the swine flu outbreak in the country. The program was relocated to Duke’s campus. ment Friday,

Health director Lombard faces child sex charges by

Julius Jones

THE CHRONICLE

A University employee was charged by the FBI with child sex abuse June 24 in U.S. District Court for the District ofColumbia. ’ Frank Lombard, 42, associate director for the Health Inequalities Program at the Center for Heath Policy, is charged with enticing an undercover police officer over the Internet to take part in interstate travel in order to engage in an illegal sex act with a minor during a sting conducted by the FBI and Metropolitan Police Department for the District of Columbia’s Child Exploitation Task Force, according to a news release from the FBI. According to The (Raleigh) News & Observer, Lombard waived an extradition hearing June 26 and was held without bond in the Durham County Jail until his extradition to Washington, D.C. this week. The FBI declined to give further comment on a pending investigation.

Lombard has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. He added that the University is cooperating with the investigation. According to Detective Timothy Palchak’s affidavit, a confidential informant told the FBI he had knowledge of people engaged in child molestation online. The report said the criminal prosecution against the informant is still pending, but no plea deal was reached in exchange for the information. The informant told investigators that a customer of ICUii—an online program that offers “adult, discreet videochat,” according to the company’s Web site—with the user name “cooper2” or “cooperse” had performed acts of child molestation and broadcast it over the Web site. A subpoena sent to ICUii June 15 confirmed that the “cooper2” user name identified by the informant belonged to Frank Lombard, according to the affidavit. After the sting operation began, the officer alleges that over the course of a Yahoo! Instant Messenger conversation June 23, Lombard —using the display name “F L”— confessed to multiple acts of sexual abuse online using the ICUii video chat program. Lombard identified the minor he had molested as his 5-year-old, black adopted child. *

Lombard also offered to allow the undercover officer to watch him perform sexual acts on the child via ICUii and fly to Lombard’s home to have sex with the child himself, according to the affidavit. “He further told your affiant that he lived in Durham, North Carolina with his live-in homosexual partner,” Palchak wrote in his affidavit. He went on to write that “F L” said his partner did not know about the abuse, but when his partner leaves for an upcoming business trip, it “would allow him the ability to molest the child just as he did the last time the partner had left town.” Lombard has been employed at Duke for 10 years. In addition to his responsibilities at the Center for Health Policy, Lombard taught an undergraduate course in the public policy department—“Intro to the U.S. Health Care System”— in the past and was scheduled to do so Fall 2009. Students described Lombard as a good teacher and someone who knew a large amount about the subject he was teaching, although they said they were not close to him outside the classroom. “He was definitely very knowledgeable on the topic we were covering in class and I can’t say much bad about him as a professor,” senior Bryan Fox said. “He was a great teacher.” Multiple colleagues ofLombard declined to comment for this story.

Q&Awith Kevin Sowers Kevin Sowers was named the chiefexecutive officer of Duke University Hospital June 9 after serving as chief operating officer and interim CEO during his 24-year career at Duke. The Chronicle’s Lindsey Rupp asked Sowers about his rise from registered nurse to CEO and the challenges that lie ahead for him and the hospital. The Chronicle; You began your career at Duke 24 years ago as a registered nurse in oncology. What drew you to Duke and what convinced you to stay and pursue administrative roles? Kevin Sowers: I came to Duke in 1985 and I came here as a newly graduated nurse, and... my grandfather was diagnosed with a brain tumor while I was in nursing school and I remembered the care that my grandfather received. After going through that experience, I had a real passion to change the experience patients had with cancer, so part of it was a personal passion and part of it was as a senior, I did an independent study on End-of-Life-Care... and it was that work that really impacted and influenced my desire to become an oncology nurse. I came down here to interview during a nursing shortage.... I had planned to go to graduate school here for a couple years and planned to go back to Ohio, but clearly that didn’t happen. Some of the most incredibly meaningful experiences I’ve had in my experience so far have been at the bedside and being involved with patients and family....

Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School moved into a state-of-the-art new school building this month, another milestone for the international health institute. The new permanent Duke-NUS GMS campus, which began construction in September 2006, was completed in February this year and is now fully occupied by the school’s faculty and staff, said Corinna Cox-Ng, director of communications and development at Duke-NUS GMS. At 25,000 square meters, the facility includes an 11-story administrative tower, a nine-story laboratory center and a vertical atrium at the heart ofcampus. Cox-Ng said that after two years of operating in dispersed buildings, Duke-NUS GMS faculty, staff and students are enjoying working together. “Everybody’s pleased to be all under one roof. We’re all physically on the same campus in a gleaming new building —a great location,” she said. Researchers and medical school educators from Singapore crossed the Pacific last May to present ongoing collaborative projects with the Duke School ofMedicine. The event, tided “East Meets West: Singapore-Duke Research Collaborations,” provided an opportunity for a team of faculty and administrators from Duke-NUS CMS—an institution co-founded in 2005 by Duke University and the National University of Singapore—to meet with Durham-based faculty to explore new research programs and projects bom ofrecent partnership. Presentations covered various research topics, such as emerging infectious disease epidemics, diagnostic algorithms that offer a genomic approach to pathogen finding and development of preventative vaccines to target diseases for which the body cannot produce antibodies. Other projects highlighted health services, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, clinical research worldwide and neuroscience. Patrick Casey, senior vice dean for research at DukeNUS GMS and James B. Duke professor of pharmacology and cancej biology, said global outreach by the Duke medical faculty is important for Duke to become an active participant in the globalization of biomedical sciences and health care.

New program lets devices double as pen by

Rachna Reddy THE CHRONICLE

Forget sticky notes and smudged ink on the back ofyour hand. A group of Duke researchers have engineered a technology that lets users write notes to themselves in the air. Eight months ago, Romit Choudhury, assistant professsor of electrical and computer engineering and computer science, and his team developed software that uses a phone’s accelerometer to detect and record the movement of a person’s hand. If a person writes letters, the software can decipher them into typed text that can then be sent to the user’s e-mail account. The phone becomes a pen that can write notes in the air, he said. Choudhury calls this invention the PhonePoint Pen, a play on the term “ballpoint pen.” “I used to keep forgetting things,” he said. “I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to have a pen with an accelerometer?” Three years after Choudhury finished graduate school, he still cannot find a pen with an accelerometer, but several phones have them. And thanks to the accelerometer, Choudhury has helped develop a software that allows written letters to be recorded —no more sticky notes. An accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration, which can then be used to calculate the distance something has traveled. It is the device responsible for switching the image from portrait to landscape view when some phones are turned horizontally. Although many phones today have keyboards and many users use text messages, Choudhury said there is still a need for the technology to save and transmit handwritten notes. “We want to get away from people having to text on keyboards,” he said. “I hear lots of complaints about typing on a small phone.” Senior Sandip Agrawal worked with Choudhury to develop the PhonePoint Pen. Agrawal said he knows there are some people who can type on phone keyboards faster than he can type on his computer, but texting requires two hands—unlike writing with the PhonePoint Pen. The device has not been perfected, and for its creators the current “pen” is only a glimpse of the vision they have for its future. Choudhury said even in its current state,

lonut Constandache (left), a computer science graduate student, and Professor Romit Choudhury (right) show off their "PhonePoint Pen." the device has received a lot of attention from the medical community. He said the tool is great for people with speech and finger-mobility disabilities. “This might do great for people who cannot type, cannot move their fingers properly,” said lonut Constandache, a computer science graduate student who also worked on the PhonePoint Pen. Developers faced several problems while manipulating the phone’s accelerometer to function like a pen, Choudhury said. First, a person writing with the phone has no

global frame of reference. Choudhury described the process of writing the letter “A” as an example. Writing an “A” involves drawing an upside down “V” with a line across it. With no frame of reference, the accelerometer cannot detectwhere the line crossing the “A” is supposed to be placed. In effect, the device cannot decipher the difference between an A or a triangle, Choudhury said. SEE AIR WRITING ON PAGE 37

The Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School completed construction on its campus this February. The 25,000 sq.-meter facility features an 11-stry administrative tower, a nine-story laboratory center and a vertical atrium at the center of the campus.

SINGAPORE from page 30 “Leaders of Duke Medicine strongly believe in the value of exposing Duke researchers and students to a greater diversity ofcultures and practices in the biomedical and health care arenas,” Casey said. This global perspective allows students and faculty, both in Durham and in Singapore, to have a special understanding of globalization trends and their opportunities and risks, he added. “The Duke-NUS initiative is a fullfledged academic entity, with its own faculty —many of whom have dual appointments at Duke—and its own students, who will receive a joint degree from Duke and NUS at the end of their training,” Casey said. He added that this partnership allows researchers to reap new insights and professional benefits. “Many special opportunities exist on the collaborative front, from access of major technologies in biomedical imaging and automated discovery screening to the ability to study unique patient populations in the context of clinical research,” he said.

TlPsters

In addition to recendy forged collaborations in research and the new insights that have 'resulted, Duke’s core medical curriculum is being successfully transplanted in Singapore, said Wee Lai Ming, senior manager of communications at Duke-NUS GMS. Duke-NUS GMS is the first medical school in Singapore founded on the U.S. model of students studying medicine after completing a bachelor’s degree, according to the institution’s Web site. The pre-existing medical school in Singapore followed the British model, in which students study medicine after specialized science coursework in high school. Duke-NUS GMS Visiting Professor Doyle Graham, former dean of medical education at the School of Medicine, said the collaboration allows Duke medical educators to observe and leant from experimental teaching techniques practiced in Singapore. “As a new school, we have been able to try new ways of helping students leant, and as such are serving as an education laboratory for Duke School of Medicine,” Graham said. One such example of the transfer

of pedagogy is “The Body and Disease” course, a core component ofDuke School ofMedicine’s first-year curriculum that integrates pathology, microbiology, pharmacology and immunology, Graham said. The coursework is presented at DukeNUS GMS through team-based learning, called TeamLEAD, which allows enhanced learning and retention, along with a great deal more enjoyment of learning by students and faculty alike, he added. Graham said directors of “The Body and Disease” course and physicians at Duke have visited Singapore to observe these techniques and to bring the TeamLEAD process back to Duke. “It is a pleasure to give back to our parent institution, and it is our hope that continued collaboration between the two medical schools will improve medical education at both institutions,” Doyle said. Casey echoed the sentiment. “I think it is truly amazingjust how well the two different cultures were able to get together to create this new academic medical entity,” he said. “I feel that Duke-NUS has somehow managed to assimilate the best aspects of both cultures while leaving other aspects ofeach behind.”

Participants in the Duke Talent Identification Program take part in a "Color Wars" gameJune 27. Each summer,TlP invites gifted middle and high school students to Duke's campus to provide them with a taste of college life.

Incoming freshmen interested in pursuing a career in health care will be offered specially tailored opportunities through the new Cardea Fellows Program, University officials announced last month. The Cardea Fellows Program, a fouryear pre-health fellowship that will launch this Fall, is geared for students committed to preparing for any kind of health profession by completing core coursework in math and science, administrators said. The application deadline for admission to the inaugural class of Cardea Fellows—which will consist of 15 to 18 students—is July 23. Lee Baker, dean of academic affairs of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, said the program will benefit students who have not had the opportunity to develop a strong foundation in science and math. Baker noted, however, that the fellows may not necessarily lack advanced coursework in these subjects. “The students might normally have a strong background in science, but so many Duke students come in with a super strong background with many [Advanced Placement] credits,” he said. “We want to ensure that every student has the chance to be as competitive as possible.” Cardea Fellows must enroll in Chemistry 20D—a Fall introductory course for students with limited background in chemistry—and participate in a specially designed first-year seminar in biology taught by Daniel Scheirer, chief pre-health adviser and associate dean of Trinity College ofArts and Sciences. The seminar titled “Medical Biology: Linking the Principles of Biology and Medicine,” will explore the history of biology and the role biology has played in major medical advancements, according to the Cardea Fellows Web site. “The Medical Biology seminar is based on what I broadly call ‘issues-based biology,’” Scheirer wrote in an e-mail. “By this, I mean that science is presented as a discovery process and is direcdy derived from medical issues, which provide a bridge to understanding the fundamental concepts of biology.” By focusing on basic biological concepts in the context of medicine, students can develop integrated thinking skills and discover science as a process and apply it to their world, Scheirer said. “There is an intentional shift from memorizing facts and from vocabulary to thinking about biology as a set of multilevel concepts,” he said. The program aims to help students fulfill their pre-health course requirements, Lynn White, assistant dean of Trinity College ofArts and Sciences and assistant dean for pre-major advising, wrote in an e-mail. “We’re hoping the program will help them to build the skills that will allow them to be successful in the pre-health curriculum at Duke,” White said. Cardea Fellows will also be able to develop academic skills in problem-solving courses, engage in research and receive personalized advising about coursework and extracurricular activities, according to the Web site. In addition, upperclass fellows will mentor freshmen and sophomores in the program. Baker said he hopes the unique program will inspire other institutions to develop similar programs for their students. “This is a novel and interesting idea,” he said. “We wanted to be a trendsetter, and we hope other universities will follow.”

DRAG from page 31 Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, called the Center one of the most “significant additions to the city in recent memory,” and considers Duke’s relationship with the venue extremely important, as it encourages growth in the University’s surroundings and adds to the quality of life of both inhabitants of Durham and of Duke students. “Duke has been a strong supporter of the renaissance of downtown Durham, of which DPAC has been one of the anchors,” Schoenfeld said. “Enhancing the quality of life for everyone who lives in Durham, and making Durham a destination for people who are interested in the arts and culture, is important for Duke’s continuing success.” The DPAC-Duke relationship will not stop at subsidized tickets. The two institutions are currently collaborating on a new project, which may involve bringing Duke’s own programming to the downtown Durham venue.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 1,2009 I 37

Ferret said the 2,800-seat capacity at DPAC is the perfect offset to Duke’s Reynolds Theater and Page Auditorium. Next year, DUU will relax its involvement with DPAC, but a new OSAF-related group called “The Hub” will take its place. Ferret said the group will offer reducedprice tickets for DPAC shows, as well as for other performances around the Triangle area. The performing arts center’s mission is to have “something for everyone,” Klaus said. And with a combination of Broadway shows, superstar concerts and famous comedians on deck, DPAC seems to be accomplishing that goal. Among the most exciting shows for next year are “Spring Awakening,” “The Phantom of The Opera” and a show by comedian Kathy Griffin. “It’s a unique privilege to have such a state-of-the-art venue bringing in world-class performances—including Broadways and highprofile musicians—just a few miles from a college campus,” Ling said. “It’s in everyone’s interests to have people come together and enjoy the arts.”

ships. And it’s the partnerships that create the teams that improve the overall organization... Duke Hospital makes a difference in this country and the world in terms of the science that we’re delivering here, and... it’s about us improving the way we manage our costs and revenue management so we can continue to fund this enterprise known as Duke Medicine. TC: You are taking over as CEO at a time of great financial stress for the world and for Duke Medicine. How do you plan to lead Duke Medicine out of these difficult economic times? KS: One of the things I’d say we focused on in the last six years at Duke Hospital is, Duke Hospital has done an incredible job of managing its budget.... Second, we have focused a lot in part with our finances department... with managing our revenue cycle making sure we bill and collect effectively... [We have been focused on being] proactive in cutting our budget by $5O million last Fa 11... so I would tell you it’s something that’s on the forefront of our minds as we try to run the organization on a daily basis. TC: Do you feel your rise through the administrative ranks was different or even difficult because you were a nurse rather than a doctor? KS: Well, there’s one thing I can say that’s unique, when I was in nursing school and came'out of nursing school, being CEO of a hospital was not even an opportunity that was afforded nurses. It was not even a career path. Typically you would become chief nurse and that was your leadership opportunity. So I go back to two things, while I do believe my experience of clinical care at the beside influences how I think and how I do things... it’s really about leadership and how you form teams and set expectations about teams and how you move forward in partnership with that team. TC: What has been your most rewarding experience at Duke and why? KS: As bedside nurse, I could see immediately the outcomes from my actions, so whether it was comforting a patient and family, there were immediate outcomes from my work. As you lead an organization and you start to think about vision three to five years 0ut.... It’s a different frame of reference and it really is an honor and a privilege. TC: What do you anticipate will be your greatest challenge or focus as CEO? KS: The thing I’m most excited about and the thing will challenge us the most is the opening of the think I major new hospital addition and the new cancer center.... We are building these facilities to serve those in North Carolina who need u5.... The opportunity is also that it’s going to create 1,000 new jobs, but the challenge is the workforce development plan to fill those 1,000 jobs when the organizations open.

Another problem involved dotting “I”s and crossing “T”s, Choudhury said. The accelerometer could not detect when a user lifts the “pen” from the “paper.” The software attempts to combat this by measuring acceleration across the X-, Y- and Z-axes in a 3-D plane. When the “pen” is removed from the imaginary paper, there is an impulse along the Z-axis that would not be recorded as a letter stroke. An additional difficulty was the ability of the device to discern between natural hand rotations and linear movements intended to be letter strokes. Technology exists that can combat this—Nintendo Wii controllers contain a device called a gyroscope that differentiates between

WIKIPEDIA from page 32 The “Revision history” page of a Wikipedia article lists all who have edited that page and the edits they have made. When edits are made without a username, the Internet Protocol address of the editor is recorded. IP addresses are unique to each computer on the internet and can be traced back to the internet service provider of the computer user.

both types of motions, which Choudhury said could appear in a phone in the future. The device is still in its developmental stages, and there have been some concerns about the size users must write letters in the air, Choudhury said. “[People are worried that] they might look like fools with their hands waving in the air and people might laugh at them,” Constandache said. “Most people are excited—they like the idea, they think it’s cool.” Choudhury said his team are working to shrink the size of letters that can be recognized. Agrawal, who won the first Hoffmann Krippner Award for Excellence in Student Engineering for the Phoneoint Pen, said he would definitely use the device. “Maybe not at what its current state is,” he noted. “Right now it doesn’t look that good, but if we can get to the point where you hold the phone like a pen.”

The Duke Wikipedia page statistics show that several of the top-listed editors are editing from Duke IP addresses. The occasional edits by usernames like “Heelsfan23r,” themed after athletic rival the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, proclaim UNC superiority. But the many editors guarding the page take down this vandalism shortly after. The most prominent watchdog goes by the username of Bluedog423, Schoenfeld said.

Tutt described Bluedog423 as an old alumnus “who’s really protective of the page,” adding that the user’s efforts have made the article, “one of the best articles on Wikipe-

dia, period.”

Tutt declined to identify Bluedog423. Duke’s Wikipedia page was on Wikipedia’s main page Nov. 26, 2006 as “Today’s featured article,” a section that showcases Wikipedia’s best entries. “The best promotion is accurate information,” Schoenfeld said.

There’s a conversation going on right now. “Journalism is changing,” is what it usually begins with. “Newspapers are dying,” is its natural conclusion. At some point, an enthusiastic college journalist chimes in with, “Journalism’s not dying, it’s just evolving.” But then this idealist young is challenged to offer a business model that will allow good journalism—the kind that strikes a genuine balance between will robinson what readers want to know and what from the editor they nee d to know—to survive. At this point, the enthusiastic objector is usually perplexed. The questions stumps me too. But as the editor of the 105th volume of The Chronicle, I will ensure that we do everything we can to keep up with the frantic exchange ofideas in the information age. The paper that this column is printed on is just one component of the product that The Chronicle will be offering this year. You can also follow our Twitter feeds, track our blogs and read our coverage on a new Web site that will debut this Fall at dukechronicle.com. It’s all part of an effort to keep up with the ideas that are swapped every day on this campus and the speed of the conversations around us. Some voices are heard loud and clear in this din, while others sound faint and distant.But The Chronicle is at the center of the swirling mass. As the Duke community’s independent student newspaper, it is our duty to make sense of this whirlwind of ideas. Whether our readers are digesting a front page news story or a controversial editorial, The Chronicle should be raising the level of debate that people have about this University. But, hold on, because now I am devolving into the kind of pretentious language that turns many readers off to good journalism—a conversationstopper of sorts. As journalists, we also have to stop taking ourselves so seriously if we want to survive. To our readers we’re just not that big of a deal anymore. In a digital world, we don’t possess the same monopoly over information that we once did. We still ascribe to an ethical code that mandates thorough, fair, accurate and transparent journalism, but we can’t tell our readers that they should read us if they know what’s good for them.

hubris by migrating to any of the infinite number of publications available on the Web. Journalists today have to shift from “a lecture mode into a conversation,” as blogger Dan Gillmor puts it, by seeing ourselves less like “oracles” of information, and more like your helpful (and humble) “guides” to the issues. That will be our goal this year. Because at the end of the day we can change our attitudes, our medium and our content, but our journalism means nothing without our readers. So Volume 105 will keep an open mind. We will strive to expand the way we think about our journalism, but we still won’t forget about our purpose. The Chronicle has shaped the public debate at this University for more than a hundred years. And we have been enstrusted with the responsibility of continuing that tradition. The theme ofVolume 105’s send home issue is the economic recession and its impact on Duke. Take a look at our front page story to see how recent Duke graduates are faring in their efforts to find employment in a down economy. Turn to pages 14and 15 to see how the University is coping with its $125 million budget deficit, and how Durham plans to respond to cutbacks from the City’s largest employer. Consult the editorial above this column to read our thoughts on the appointment of new Board of Trustees chair Dan Blue. It’s our way of getting conversation started. So Join the dialogue and tell us what you think. And if you’re interested in being a part ofThe Chronicle, let us know, because everyone is welcome. Whether you want to report news, pen magazine features, cover sports, critique music, write blog posts, lay out pages, shoot photos, film videos, update Twitter feeds or help design our new Web site, there’s a place where you can contribute to our newsroom’s discourse. If you aren’t interested, then read us, and give us a chance to be a part of your conversations. The 105th volume will strive to embody our role as: “The Tower of Campus Thought and Action,” without having to display it pompously across our masthead. Let the conversation begin.

Summer musings

distinguishing feature of summer for any

student is freedom. There’s no better time for creative enterprise than when restrictions and opportunity costs are low: if college qualifies as a fulltime job, then summer is a full-time experiment. May through August is prime time for the outrageous and unpredictable, which, depending on your standpoint, is pretty exciting. You can literally do whatever you want, whenever you want.

It’s a far cry from college where everything can seem a tad cyclical at times. The Duke narratives are pretty much givens after a while the DSG-Administraben brostoff tion battle, the “How bro's stuff should we use the endowment?” debate and the inevitable slew of post-LDOC reform plans grow stale after the first time you hear them. Summer, fortunately, spares us the tired narratives. Summer inspires a sort of free-spiritedness that represses itself shortly after freshman orientation, does not reappear until LDOC and then goes into hibernation until finals conclude. Enshrined by academics on all sides, it’s easy at school to fall into the type offunctional fixedness trap psychologists describe wherein creativity takes a back seat to traditional thinking. In the classroom, the only tools you have essentially are the ones granted to you by the academic method.While this method is obviously valuable because it puts a check on ridiculous claims and the like, it does box in creative thinkers to some degree by imposing parameters on what can be done. Write a paper and be prepared to work within a subset offastidious rules to maintaincredibility. Go to Myrtle Beach and be prepared to observe no rules and care little about credibility. Summer is one of the few times in pre-post-college life when well organized checkpoints and milestones aren’t neady laid out for you. Indeed, no one gives you a certificate of achievement or diploma for going on a road trip, making it all the way through the On De-

My

mand library or, God forbid, getting a job. Ironically, summer might actually be the true adolescent test of character because it begs the question of where to go when the beaten path veers off to no man’s land. Humor me and say summer, not undergraduate education, is where our most formative and visceral experiences as young adults occur. If you look at how pre-packaged a lot of supposed top college experiences are, it’s not that outlandish of a notion. Even our own school has a sort of planned-out feel: move-in, tent, rush, laugh, cry and graduate, with a couple ofShooters visits for good measure. Every school propagates messages about what types of experiences you should be having and does its best to ensure you can and will have those sacred experiences. Perhaps the spontaneity and craziness that the media (and Asher Roth) attempts to portray as unique.to college is really more descriptive of summer, or, better yet, real life. Perhaps. I would argue that you could find every fact ever uttered in a Duke lecture hall online if you looked hard enough. If you strip college of the types of experiences that cannot be reconstructed or forgotten, then, outside oflate charges at the public library, undergraduate education is virtually worthless. For the record, I’m a big proponent of staying in school, if not for obvious reasons, then because... it’s a pretty good time. But a life-altering time? Frankly, I don’t know. From a purely crystallized knowledge perspective, a good amount of people hardly utilize any of the skills their college major covered in their actual jobs. From a life experience standpoint, I briefly mentioned in my last column that the Grant Study noted that the most well adjusted college graduates were often the most maladjusted adults, and vice versa. The jury is clearly out on this one. I can say with conviction thaba month and change removed from school, summer hasn’t lost its allure; rather, its value is greater now than ever. With only a few prolonged warm weather vacations remaining before the o’s on our W-4s become l’s, it makes sense to live them to the fullest. Sure, summer isn’t a private university. Maybe it’s better. Ben Bros toff is

things come from trusting your instincts. I know it when I am hollering at Egypt score against Italy on a 32-inch TV screen with 100 belligerent Sierra Leonean men. We are thinking nothing and feeling only raw emotion, strong as a bullet, knocking in our guts and in our heads The same visceral feeling builds when riding on a motorcycle 27 miles in elbow-deep bush, and when trudgcourtney ing through rivers with pants rolled, socks and the good life? shoes in hand. Hunger rises like Wonderbread, as do disappointment, frustration and thirst, which mixes into a weary cocktail of emotional confusion that comes with community-building and data collection. The sensations are real, the heat is real, the lizards that fall from the ceiling and land in your hair are real. I have Duke to thank (and blame) for this trip. Until late in my junior year, my box was Durham, and many a decision I yielded to reason at the expense ofinstinct. Fortunately help was there when I decided to pursue an impulse. A Duke friend, now working as a director for Beefreed, a beekeeping company, nudged me into Sierra Leone for a rural finance internship. On my third day, I drove past a Duke student leading a Robertson Scholars program. I commiserate with another Dukie who is teaching here, and correspond with a Duke Professor in Tanzania about my thesis research there next month. Duke has provided financial support for both trips, and neither from DukeEngage. Short of this impromptu network, there are plenty of Dukie gut-thinkers, free-wheelers, pioneer-doers and fortune-seekers elsewhere, shredding the walls of their boxes and landing in uncharted, sometimes hos-

han

tile, territory. You’ll find them as Admissions Ambassadors preparing to welcome about 1,720 students to the Class of 2013. They are founders of the “One Duke, United” campaign, lobbying campus to put an end to minority recruitment weekends, or Students of the World, filming a documentary in the Amazon. They are Davis Foundation grantees implementing projects ofpeace, kooky talents in Small Town Records and researchers in the lab and field, from the heart of the Pentagon to the edges of Papua New Guinea. Now, I know that few students will be driven by instincts as specific as these. In the first week or month here, you’ll be living off a different set of impulses. The speeches you’ll hear will appear as a pile of saccharine words that do not inspire you about the next four years because you’re thinking only of your first parent-free night of stale frat beer and hormone-heavy commons rooms. Push aside all the tiresome hubbub and just take away this: starving your gut is a losing game. If there’s one thing Duke can give you, it is the security ofknowing that your gut pursuit is worth supporting. But when you reach your senior summer, you’ll look back and think—Duke, I miss her. You’ll long for Southern evenings wet and warm as a lover’s mouth, and for the accompanying soft humidity that leaks out of the shadows and settles in droopy mounds under lamps and Gothic tracery across West Campus. You’ll think ofit as a magical place where cats groom downy paws on paths of stone, midnight couples swap injuries in alcoves and glass ponds house perennial fowl, pausing, homeward-bound. We will agree; Duke is a lovely place to roost. But just as you followed your instincts when you applied, trust your gut and pursue what drives you when you’re here and when you venture out. Take my words for whatever they’re worth: If you’ve signed up for this crazy, mixed-up four-year trip, your hunch is true. This is your place. Welcome home.

Bring Brodhead in to teach

On

his curriculum vitae, President Richard Brodhead is listed as holding two titles at Duke University; President, and Professor of English. But five years after he accepted the former of these two jobs, he has not yet officially performed the latter. Why hasn’t Brodhead—one ofYale’s most beloved scholars during his tenure as the A. Bartlett Giamatti Professor of English, and a 19th century literature expert of wide acclaim—ever stepped into a Duke classroom for a semester? It’s something English majors like myself have pondered from time to time, so I stopped by his office June 18 to ask him “I don’t think, in the near future, I see away for me to teach a whole course,” said Brodhead. “But I know in my life I will teach again. I’ll teach all kinds IldtllcUl frppman of things again.” goodnight, Though mum on the subject anoHlnrk anCl B ooa IUCk of when he’ll take on a class, Brodhead emphasized his lifelong passion for the classroom, and explained that he can still fulfill the role ofeducator from his office in the Allen Building. “When I was in college, I wanted to be a teacher, and that’s what I became—but then I also became a scholar, and then I got responsibilities for other things at universities,” he said. “But if I’m ever stopped at an airport and asked for my profession or sonfething like that, I’ll usually say teacher. What am I going to say—administrator? As president, Brodhead has read poetry in the Nasher, given countless talks on campus and off and stopped by the odd English class to deliver a guest lecture, but he has not yet stepped behind the podium of his own class. It goes without saying that it’s a position for which he would be eminently qualified. At Yale, he climbed the ranks of the Department of English—from a Ph.D. student, to a junior professor and eventually to its chair. But he wasn’t just an English professor—he was a rock star at the lectern with classes that were “packed to the rafters,” Yale Associate Dean Penelope Laura ns recalled to The Yale Herald, a Yale student newspaper, upon Brodhead’s departure to Duke in 2004. In 1980,the Yale Daily News, another student-run newspaper at Yale, printed an editorial entitled “Make me late for Brodhead” that criticized the slow tenure process by mentioning his burgeoning reputation: “Assistant professor of English Richard Brodhead, whose teaching skill has drawn an award from the Phi Beta Kappa Society, raves in the Course Critique and high course enrollment, is up for tenure this year. If the University continues effectively to ignore teaching ability as a criterion for tenure, Brodhead probably won’t be around to be late for.” But Yale did not ignore Brodhead’s ability—it embraced it for the next 24 years. When Brodhead decided to abscond to Durham, Yale brass came out in full force to let everyone know what the New Haven institution was losing. “Dick Brodhead is one of the finest educators of his generation and one of the greatest deans in Yale’s 300-year history,” Yale President Richard Levin wrote in an e-mail to his university’s community upon news ofBrodhead’s departure. “The trouble is that my way of teaching doesn’t marry easily with the job I now have,” he said. “I don’t like to pull notes out and walk into a room and teach from old notes. I like to reread everything I teach, I like to think it through again... and the trouble now is, when would I do it?” What if you had, I asked him, a “battalion of TAs” to help you with the material? “See, a ‘battalion of TAs?’” Brodhead repeated, skeptically. “I don’t want to be making (fameo appearance, or doing star turns. That’s not my idea of teaching.” Yes, Brodhead’s job may leave little free time to teach a class, but the practice is not unheard of: A 2006 survey by the American Council on Education reported that 20 percent of college and university presidents teach a course as well. And Duke’s president should increase that percentage. Though he may be booked for the time being, Brodhead should start taking the necessary steps to allow for a future semester when he can helm an English course. Five years after Yale students lost their chance to show up late to Brodhead’s class, Duke students still can’t show up at all. But if they could show up, they’d find that his itch to rip back into his cherished areas of study has not abated at all. “What would I teach?” he wondered aloud, smiling, his voice rising with excitement. “Oh!—Let’s not even go there, let’s not even go there, let’s not even go there...” °

sports editor's note I will never forget the first basketball game I covered at Cameron Indoor Stadium, a 60-point Duke victory against Barton College in an exhibition game in November 2007. But as much as I’ll always remember that night, I also know that my fondest Duke memories weren’t made in the press room; they come from" standing in Cameron, or at Gahe Wallace Wade Stadiurn, cheering as one O Idi US Vd smdents youVe never met. The best part is the kids you’re rooting for are reallyjust students, too A Because truthfully, on a crisp Saturday afternoon in the fall, I won’t think of myself as sports editor of The Chronicle. I’ll just be a kid from South Florida who’s hoping Thaddeus Lewis completes his next pass. And the following Monday, there’s a good chance Lewis will be sitting in the classroom with me. Here at The Chronicle, we try not to take ourselves too seriously; sometimes we succeed in that venture, and sometimes we don’t. But when it comes to Duke sports, we know how you’re feeling better than anyone, because after we leave 301 Flowers in the wee hours of the morning, we all return to our roles as students and sports fans as well. In this first issue ofSportswrap, we’ve tried to combine success stories ofBlue Devils already plying their trade professionally with those striving to join them at the next level. Those we’ve featured —including Lewis, the men’s basketball seniors and Olympic medalist fencer Becca Ward—are all great at their sports, but they also are humble, driven and proud to go to school here, just like the rest of us. With that, I am proud to welcome you to Volume 105 of The Chronicle and kick off the 27th installment of Sportswrap, and I look forward to sharing a wonderful year in Duke sports with you.

THE CHRONICLE

Size or Experience? Ryan

Scott

Chronicle columnists Scott Rich and Ryan Claxton debate Claxton Rich whether Duke can succeed with its current roster “Power” forwards not the answer Experience the key for title teams Since Mike Krzyzewski became Duke’s head coach almost three decades ago, the attitude ofBlue Devil fans have sometimes mirrored that of other juggernaut teams like the New YorkYankees-in short, spoiled. Such an attitude is the only explanation for the uproar that ensued after Krzyzewski failed to land highly toutedrecruit John Wall this summer, or for disappointment in a 2009 season that produced only 30 wins, an ACC Tournament title and a birth in the Sweet 16. For fans, much of that disappointment seems to stem from apprehension that maybe, justmaybe, the Coach K style of basketball focusing on fundamentals, experience, and team play rather than relying on a few NBAbound players —is going out of style. Recent history begs to differ. Yes, one-anddones like Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley have dominated the headlines, but neither of these players won the national title Duke fans desire. In fact, the first, and only, legitimate one-and-done player to win the title was Carmelo Anthony with Syracuse in 2003. Most national champions in the last decade actually epitomize the qualities Krzyzeweski has preached at Duke. For instance, North Carolina won the tide last season with a core of juniors and seniors rather than one-and-done freshman, as they also did in 2005. The Florida Gators won the tide in 2006 with a group of sophomores who spumed the NBA en route to another championship the following season. Even given Elliot Williams’ sudden trans—

fer, Duke still returns three starters from last year’s ACC champion squad that can provide the leadership to make Coach K’s philosophy translate into major success this year.

Syracuse, but he also had All-American Hakim Warrick playing with him on the block. In 2004, UConn sent out a front line including Emeka Okafor, Charlie Villanueva and Josh Boone. Sean May and Marvin Williams brought power down low for North Carolina in 2005. The next two years belonged to the Florida Gators’ A1 Horford andjoakim Noah. And in 2008, big man Darrell Arthur helped Kansas’s guard-centric team go from the Elite Eight to national champions, toppling Memphis and bruising forward Joey Dorsey. And of course, Duke needs no reminder that 2009 belonged to Tyler Hansbrough, Deon Thompson and the Tar Heels. The point is, one-and-dones bring some success, but strong post players turn good teams into championship teams. While the emphasis on team play and fundamentals is successful, Duke has an incomplete team. Recent Duke targets Greg Monroe and Patrick Patterson could have been the difference-makers. While Duke did pull in two big men in this year’s recruiting class, Plumlee and Kelly are very differentfrom Monroe and Patterson. Plumlee and Kelly both have tendencies to play on the perimeter (think Kyle Singler). Monroe and Patterson are low-post players who go to the hoop and draw fouls (think Shelden Williams). Duke needs a physical style in the paint to return to elite status, and thatpresence would propel the Blue Devils from a Sweet 16 afterthought to a Final Four contender.

TRACK & FIELD

Record by

setter Beach

Alex Keller

THE CHRONICLE

The best athlete in Duke’s incoming freshman class doesn’t stand out in a crowd. At 6 feet and 165 pounds he doesn’t have the size of a football or basketball player. But when he steps onto a track, Curtis Beach is instantly recognizable, because he’s winning everything in sight. The freshman from New Mexico holds the national high school record in the decathlon, a combination of ten track and field events. When Beach scored 7,909 points in the decathlon in April at the Arcadia Invitational, he broke the old high school record by almost 500 points. “We have a couple other great recruits, but CurtisBeach is by far the marquee recruit in the class,” head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “He is certainly the best all-around ath-

hopes to raise Duke’s profile

lete in the country this year, and probably one of the top recruits ever coming out of high school.” To put it in terms the basketball-crazed Duke community can relate to, Ogilvie says recruiting Beach is like getting Grant Hill. Beach’s athletic potential comes from his incredible versatility. His high school state championships range from the long jump, high jump, pole vault and hurdles to the 100-, 200- and 800-meter running events. He also helped his high school win a team state tide in cross country during track’s off-season. “I started out as a cross-country runner...but in middle school, my coach James Ciccarello challenged me to do every event from the 100 meters to the 3000 meters,” Beach said. “He wanted me to do hurdles, the throws, high jump,

everything. And I did, and I was pretty good at all of them, and I enjoyed them a11.... [The decathlon] ended up being a perfect fit, because I still can’t choose just one event, and I just love them all.” As Beach progressed through high school, his performances earned him the attention of the top collegiate track and field programs in the country, including Texas A&M and Oregon, the 2009 national champions in the indoor and outdoor seasons, respectively. Yet Beach turned down offers from both schools to come to Duke, a program whose name is rarely mentioned in the same breath as the others in track and field circles. Beach chose Duke in part because of its recent addition of multi-events coach Shawn Wilbourn, a former NFL player and 8,200-point scoring decathlete who Beach said shares his passion for track and field in all its events. “He has that drive to be the very best,” Beach said. “Not just the best in the ACC or the very best in the country, but the best, period, and I love that.” Wilbourn is just one of the factors that attracted Beach to Duke. According to Ogilvie, since Kevin White became the new athletic director in 2008, the track program has had more freedom with scholarships and recruitment, going beyond the distance events to put together a stronger, more diverse team than irl previous years. This change has markedly increased the versatility of the program as a whole. Tyler Clarke, a fifth-year seniorwho this year placed 18th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the decathlon, could easily relate to the recruit, because he had had been faced with a comparable decision when choosing between schools. “Tyler had to make a very similar choice five years ago, being an Oregon native, and his final choice was between Oregon and Duke,” Ogilvie said. “So he was able to tell Curtis, You know, when I had to make this decision, I chose Duke for the academics and what I would be able to do beyond Duke. But with you, you don’t even have to do that.’” The addition ofWilbourn to the Blue Devil coaching staff bridged the gap between the school’s athletic and academic components —and Beach felt that he didn’t have to sacrifice athletics for the sake of academics by choosing Duke. Beach recognized the importance of getting an education in addition to pursuing his track career, and is excited about the educational opportunities available to him in Durham. “What I’d like to do in particular is go into the Markets and Management program,” Beach said, “Learn about business and sports marketing, and maybe do some law stuff, getting all the little parts of the Duke education that -

Henderson goes 12th to Bobcats Williams to transfer

Andy Moore THE CHRONICLE

by

Gerald Henderson won’t have to move very far to play basketball next year. The Duke cocaptain, who chose to forego his final year of eligibility to go pro, was selected by the Charlotte Bobcats with the 12 th pick of the NBA Draft June 25. He even one-upped perennial rival Tyler Hansbrough, whom Henderson called his fiercest competitor in pre-draft workouts, going one spot higher than the UNC forward. “This is the best day of my life,” Henderson said. “I’ll get to be close to Duke, so I’ll have a lot of fans supporting me, and it’s going to be great.” Henderson was taken slightly earlier than expected, as ESPN analyst Bilas had him tapped as the 15th-best prospect in the draft. Bilas expressed admiration for Henderson’s athleticism and high ceiling. “He is super athletic,” Bilas said. “He really improved this last year in his feel and understanding of the game.... I think he’s improved every year he’s been in school.” The 6-foot-4 wingman was widely praised by draft gurus for his NBA-ready skills, including his game-changing ability to create his own shot. His lack of size for his position, coupled with ah average outside game, were seen as potential weaknesses. As a freshman, Henderson showed flashes of brilliance off the bench, averaging 6.2 points per game. He is perhaps best remembered for his controversial flagrant foul on Hansbrough in Duke’s 86-72 loss on March 4, 2007, a foul that resulted in Henderson’s ejection and a one-game suspension. Henderson’s sophomore year saw a

starting role, and with it, increased production. The forward finished third on the team in scoring with 12.7 ppg. His junior year would prove to be his breakout season. Averaging 16.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, Henderson emerged as the Blue Devils’ go-to scorer and as a highlight-reel talent. His uncharacteristic performance in the Sweet Sixteen loss against Villanova put a damper on his All-American season. The junior was a miserable l-for-14 from the field, and his shooting woes were a major cause of the Wildcats’ blowout win. His already high draft stock, though,

wasn’t affected, Head coach Mike Krzyzewski correctly surmised days before the draft that Henderson would be a lottery pick, and speculated,on Henderson’s future. '“I think he’ll be a very good pro, and a pro for a long time—potential starter early,” Krzyzewski said. “He works [at the game], he is no problem, he will be a good team member and he’s got talent. “He did a good job [at Duke] and is a really good guy. And for us, we want these guys to do well, make a lot of money and have good lives, so we are. going to continue to help him.”

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Elliot and his family,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We fully support him in his efforts to be closer to them during this trying time. He is a good young man with an opportunity to become an outstanding player.... He will always be a part of our program and we will always be in his comer.” Williams is seeking a waiver from the NCAA that would allow him to play at a Division-! school right away, instead ofhaving to sit out a season as most transfers do. Transfers for medical reasons have in the past been granted eligibility immediately. Williams averaged 4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds a game last season, but those numbers are skewed because of his very limited role most of the season compared to his integral play late on. After playing sparingly for the first halfof theACC season, Williams took over the starting shooting guard position against Sl John’s Feb. 49 and was a major factor in Duke’s success the rest of the campaign. Without Williams, the Blue Devils have just two scholarship guards left on the roster, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith. —from staff reports

It’s where I want to be when I grow up When I was in seventh grade, I wrote a poem. This act of composition was somewhat noteworthy in itself. Although I’m an English major, I’m no JJ. Redick, so I usually find myself flailing for meaning in the simplest haiku. But on this particular occasion, something—the muse!—drove me to pen a poem. It was a rhyming lyric called “I Want to Be a Cameron Crazie When I Grow Ben Up.” Somehow, I equated college with adulthood (terrifying) and being p»| a Cameron Crazie with a life’s worth of success (even more so) As you might imagine, the poem’s general conceit was that I aspired to attend Duke and be one of those facepaint-clad students jumping up and down, cameras

fixated on their every move. (To be fair, in my fifth grade yearbook, I also prophesied that I would graduate from Duke. I’m not sure which is scarier: that prediction, or the fact that it might be true come May.) So freshmen, fear not: Basketball games are all they’re cracked up to be. They really, really are. For a few memorable days every year in Cameron Indoor Stadium, 1,200 students combine not only to create a palpable energy, but also sustain it. You leave after three hours, and you’re sweaty, your back hurts and your calves ache. You’ve become entirely too familiar with the person next to you, you’ve shouted insults you never knew you could conjure and sometimes, depending on the opponent, you’ve made Mike Krzyzewski’s language seem ap-

In short, you can think of no other place you would rather be Yes, there’s something frustrating in shivering on a sidewalk to stand for two hours and then jump for two more. Yes, the line monitors... well, they’re not my favorite people at Duke. And yes, some of the Crazies’ shtick is phony, as temporary as the ink on their stomachs. One night each year, though, none of that holds true. Freezing is fun. The line monitors are tolerable. And when North Carolina comes to Cameron, nothing is inorganic. It creates an impossible standard no other game can possibly match. None. Not in Cameron, not in the Dean Dome, not anywhere else in the country. SEE COHEN ON PAGE 19

Trio of Blue Devils eager for shot at NFL by

Laura Keeley THE CHRONICLE

At this year’s NFL Draft, 256 college players were taken, and not one of them came from Duke. That does not mean, though, that there won’t be any new Blue Devils in the NFL. Three graduated seniors-wide receiver Eron Riley, offensive tackle Cameron Goldberg and linebacker Mike Tauiliilihave signed free agent contracts in hopes of making a team’s 53-man roster. Riley is with the Baltimore Ravens, Goldberg the Kansas City Chiefs and Tauiliili the Indianapolis Colts. All three are aware of the tough road they face, and they will need to survive several rounds of training camp cuts. But Duke head coach David Cutcliffe thinks they have a shot at beating the odds. “All three are great workers on the field,” Cutcliffe said. “They are competitors. The key with any of these guys is you just pray that they stay healthy. With some luck and if they stay healthy, they have a chance.” Riley is a two-time second-team All-ACC selection and caught 61 passes for 693yards and eight touchdowns last year to earn the team’s Most Outstanding Receiver award. He ranks in the top 10 for receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in Blue Devils history. He also ran a 4.36 in the 40-yard dash at Duke’s Pro Day March 17, a time that would have put him in the top five ofall 40-yard dashes run at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis Feb. 18-24. None of the three players were invited to pre-draft workouts at the combine. “I thought I would be [invited] and as-

mediately after the draft, and Tauiliili even went to the Colts’ mini-camp without a contract

It did not take Indianapolis long to sign him to a two-year deal once he was

there. Tauiliili is undersized for a middle linebacker in the NFL, but he fits in well with the type of linebackers the Colts have historically had in their system. Tauiliili is being shown the ropes by veteran players, including Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Mathis, who was in the same fraternity as Tauiliili at Alabama A&M. Tauiliili and Riley have the advantage of being able to contribute on special teams, whereas Goldberg, an offensive lineman, does not. Cutcliffe, though, said Goldberg’s athletic ability is an advantage for him because he could play any position on the offensive line. Goldberg also shined at Duke’s Pro Day, putting up 37 reps of 225 lbs. on the bench press, which, like Riley, would have put him in the top five performers at the combine. Cutcliffe agreed that all three are long shots to find themselves on Opening Day rosters, but there is precedent for what the trio is trying to accomplish. Patrick Bailey was an undrafted free agent from Duke who graduated in 2008, and he went on to be the rookie of the year for the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

In January’s Major League Soccer Suseniors Mike Grella and Darrius Barnes were selected just six picks apart. Both signed professional contracts in the following months. But now, the home stadiums of the former Duke stars are separated by 3,200 miles and the Adantic Ocean. While Barnes signed with the team that drafted him in the third round—the New England Revolution—Grella opted to spurn the MLS in favor of a career in England. The forward went on trial for Leeds United in January, scoring a hat trick for the club’s reserve team January 20. Less than two weeks later, he signed an 18-month contract with Leeds. After joining the team at midseason, Grella made 12 appearances off the bench as his club fought for promotion from League One, the third tier of English soccer. Leeds United fell to Milwall in the playoff semifinal, which means the team will remain in League One next season.

Although they might not have accomplished all they desired in their five years at Duke, midfielderBrad Ross and defenseman Ryan McFadyen were two integral forces in making the program a lacrosse powerhouse. Now, after completing their Duke careers as fifth-year seniors, they have a chance to continue their quest for a championship in Major League Lacrosse. Ross was drafted 15th by the Toronto Nationals, and McFadyen 33rd to the Washington Bayhawks. “Brad is a terrific two-way middie who had a great career at Duke,” Nationals head coach Dave Huntley said. “The up-tempo style he played at Duke should allow him to fit smoothly into our style at the Nationals.” McFadyen and Ross entered Duke in 2004 following a season in which the Blue Devils finished 5-8 and failed to qualify for theNCAA Tournament. The next year, though, Duke finished with a 13-1 record in the regular season and lost a heartbreaker to Johns Hopkins in the national championship game. That first season at Duke is still a memorable one for Ross. “We had no expectations before the season of getting [to the Final Four],” Ross said. “But We came together as a team and played well.” Following this dramatic reversal, the SEE M.

Olympic medalist, NCAA champion Becca Ward isn’t spending this summer where she expected to—studying abroad in Puebla, Mexico in a program that was relocated after the swine flu outbreak in May. She’s also not spending this summer winning two Olympic bronze medals, as she did in Beijing in 2008. Instead, she’s just enjoying life as a typical Duke student, one who happens to be one of the best saber fencers in the United States and possibly the world. This summer, Ward is on campus learning Spanish and mingling with Durham’s vibrant Hispanic community—a far cry from her normal fencing preparation, which she said involved no more than a ten-day rest for over two years before her Olympic meet. Ward placed third in the team and individual competitions at the Beijing Olympics, and followed that up with an individual NCAA crown in March. Still, Ward is enjoying relative anonymity on campus, at least compared to other Blue Devil athletes. “[People recognized me] a lot during [Fall 2008],” Ward said. “During orientation I got a lot of ‘Where are you from?’ I wouldn’t say anything, and halfway through the conversation it would inevitably come up. ‘Wait, you are the fencing girl!’ Or, ‘You’re the Olympian!’ That happened a lot and died down during second semester.” Duke Athletics gave her some more unwanted publicity when it printed a massive sign reading “Duke Welcomes Becca Ward, Two-Time Olympic Medalist” and hung it at the entrance to Wilson Gym in the early weeks of Fall ‘OB, Ward’s first semester as a Blue Devil. Ward said the sign now hangs in her living room in Portland, Oreg., an effort by her mother to tease her about her newfound fame. Since then, though, Ward has yet to compete in a single international competition, and hasn’t decided e 201 Games in leave school in the middle of her junior y< something the rising sophomore seems loath to do. “I’m enjoying myself a lot here,” Ward said. “I absolutely love/ Duke, and a teammate of mine—she delayed college for a year, she went [to school] for a year, every weekend she would fly out for a competition and Duke is a very hard school to do that at.... If I decide to go back [to international competition], it might be after school and not in the middle of it.” Even without international tournaments to take part in, Ward is finding no shortage of opponents to defeat. She went 53-2 during the regular season, and won 22 more matches en route to the NCAA individual saber championship. Ward said the level of competition in college isn’t comparable to world championships because fencing, is so much less popular in the United States than it is in Europe. Nonetheless, for the first time, Ward is truly part of a team, an experience she is cherishing. Duke finished 11th in the country last season, but with Ward as its No. 1, the Blue Devils could be at the top of the fencing world before long —thanks largely to a seemingly nondescript Duke student. —by Gabe Starosta

That scorer’s touch was on display when Kelly won the McDonald’s All-American three-point shootout on March 30. Plumlee made his presence felt as well, placing second in the dunk contest. That wasn’t the first time the two players met as seniors—Plumlee’s Christ School defeated Kelly’s Ravenscroft twice during the season, including in the North Carolina state finals. In that championship game, Kelly scored 14 points to lead the Ravens, but Plumlee’s 19 led Christ School to its third straight state title. When the two big men finally play on the same team, though, Krzyzewski hopes they can add another dimension to Duke’s perimeteroriented motion offense. “A thing we haven’t had in a few years is

inside-outside action,” he said. “It would be neat to have [strong perimeter play] and people who can score inside, and we believe we have people who can score. What that does to a defense is it makes it go in and out, and that’s where the relocation pass, the cuts come.” Assuming Plumlee and Kelly can be effective down low, Krzyzewski expects junior Kyle Singler—who led the Blue Devils in scoring, along with Gerald Henderson, and rebounding last season—to move back to his natural position and play primarily small forward. For that to happen, though, both Kelly and Plumlee will need to continue to get stronger in order to bang down low with

to

the ACC’s bulkier, more physical big men including Clemson’s Trevor Booker, Virginia Tech's JeffAllen, Miami’s Dwayne Collins and North Carolina’s Ed Davis. That combination of size on the perimeter and in the paint would radically alter Duke’s style of play, which in recent years has keyed on perimeter shooting. Whether or not the freshmen will immediately provide a solution to Duke’s inconsistent low post play remains to be seen, but Telep believes the team will benefit from their presence regardless of the amount of playing time they receive. “They will push the established players on the roster,” he said. “Everybody will get better as a result.”

LEWIS from page 12 else’s guidance for a change. Ever since the arrival of head coachDavid Cutdiffe last year, Lewis has been forced to take a step back. Instead of being his own teacher, a commander 24/7, Lewis has learned to be study thegame of football and pay attention to the deatils, and has a coach who has given him direction and raised the bar. “Coach Cutdiffe has come in and instilled the idea that we will win and that’s what we will do week-in and weekout,” Lewis said. “He changed the attitude of the program, the outlook of the program.... He made me a student of the game —making me watch'film and also teaching me to watch film, making me understand the offense so I can be a coach out on the field.” The Blue Devils’ success may depend most on how Lewis performs in his fourth and final season. The expectations for the team and its quarterback this year are undeniably higher than they have been in years past. But placing that kind of pressure on Lewis is something both he and his teammates are perfectly comfortable with. “He’s the one making the calls out there,” Huffman said. “He’s who we look to get us going down the field, to score points. He’s put a lot on his shoulders and I think Thad handles it well.”

portant responsibility as a playmaker, deciding whether to find an open teammate or opt for the shot himself. “It’s not strictly ‘Give the ball to G and spread out,’” Scheyer said. “[Henderson] wanted to take those shots and he was in a position to do so, just like Kyle [Singler] and myself were at times last year. But Kyle and I, at the end of games, you know, the ball should be in our hands, and that’s what we want.... I can’t remember how many times, as a kid, I’ve dreamed about a hitting a shot like that.” In those dreams, of course, the ball always went in and Duke always won. After a summer of improving shot mechanics, perfecting ball handling and setting the Blue Devils’ tone, Scheyer will have the chance to lead his teammates and perhaps make some of those visions become realities. —

DefenderDarrius Barnes has played every minutethis season for the New England Revolution of the MLS.

BEACH from page 4 can help me achieve my ultimate goals outside of athletics and outside of 5ch001.... I’m going to explore the liberal arts curriculum and a wide array of things.” In the long term, Beach’s goal is to become the CEO of USA Track & Field, the sport’s governing body. He hopes to use the position to help track and field gain popularity and influence in a country dominated by football, basketball and baseball. His dream has already taken a few steps toward becoming a reality, as the current CEO invited Beach to shadow him for a day at USA national trials in Eugene, Oregon, at the end of June. However, Beach recognizes that interests change, and dreams fade. Part of the value of a Duke education to him is its practicality, especially if he decides to pursue a career outside the athletic world. “I really feel that [a Duke education] gives any future employer the idea that you can handle a rigorous

[Shawn Wilbourn] has that drive to be the best. Not just the best in the ACC or the very “

best in the country, but the best, period/ Curtis Beach education,” Beach said, “and that you’re able to push yourself very, very hard, not just athletically but academically, and that you care about your future outside of athletics. Track aside, that is a very big reason in why I picked Duke.” Beach’s summer is filled with his final meets before putting on a Duke jersey, but in between he plans to train in preparation for making the transition to the college decathlon in the fall. The differences between the high school and collegiate events include heavier throwing implements and higher hurdles. “Curtis, fortunately, has had some experience with the heavier weights—not a lot, but a little bit, Wilbourn said. “The high school shot put weighs 12 pounds, and the college shot put weighs 16 pounds... so we’ll gradually work him up to. that 16-pound shot. He has to get stronger, and there are some technical issues in the throws, but as the throws improve we should see a big jump in the scoring.” Wilbourn hopes for Beach to be competitive starting this winter in the heptathlon, the indoor relative to the decathlon, and to compete in the ACC and NCAA meets in both the indoor season as well as the outdoor decathlon come spring. Ogilvie, though, says that a primary concern is keeping Beach, injury-free throughout the demanding training of a decathlete. If they can keep him healthy, Beach s future coaches are confident that he will be successful. While he might be driven to over-train, Beach isn’t known to come up short in effort. “He’s an extremely focused and motivated guy,” said Ogilvie. “He doesn’tjust want to be the best in New Mexico or the best in college —he wants to be the best in the world. And there are not too many guys who have the courage at his age to say that.”

of the Heisman Trophy in 1998. “I had an opportunity to come in and play right away because of certain injuries anjj the team’s need, so I was able to come in and fill that spot,” Barnes said. “I guess I’m surprised with how much I’ve played thus far, but I’m not really surprised that I’m playing. That’s always something that I’ve known I’ve had the ability to do.” Heaps has helped Barnes make the transition to professional life, showing him how to be successful both on and off the field. Having an established veteran to help him —not to mention a familiar face in former Duke teammate Michael Videira—has facilitated Barnes’ acclimation to life in the MLS.

As the season progresses, he is growing more accustomed to the style of play in the professional league, which is not only faster than the ACC, but also more physical. “I love it,” Barnes said of the physical nature of the MLS. “As a defender, you always like being physical a little bit and kind of getting underneath the forwards’ skins.” But Barnes is on good terms with at least one opposing striker—although for the time being, they have no chance of playing against each other. He and Grella talk regularly, keeping tabs on each other’s professional careers. While Barnes may one day join Grella in England, he is perfectly happy playing in Boston. “I can’t ask for anything more,” Barnes said. “I’m living the dream up here playing, doing what I love to do.”

Duke-UNC, you see, is the greatest rivalry in college sports, and watching a Duke-

UNC game in Cameron is the greatest experience any Duke student can have. That sounds hyperbolic, I know. All those brochures you received as a prospective student, they touted all the other wonderful services Duke has to offer. And yeah, they’re good. I like ePrint when it’s working, I like living on a campus full of castles and more often than not, I even like going to class. But you don’t come to Duke for Bostock. You come for Cameron, and more specifically, you come for Duke-UNC in Cameron. The cheers, the jeers, the buzz—the aura, in sum. It’s always there against North Carolina, and it’s completely authentic. “Watching Duke play and watching Duke play at Cameron are two somewhat different pleasures,” President Richard Brodhead told me last February, failing to account even for the third type of Duke game. “How could you describe it to anyone?” It’s poetic—that’s what it is. It’s more lovely and temperate than a summer’s day, it’s the road not taken, it’s wandering lonely as a cloud. It’s Shakespeare, Frost and Wordsworth, all in one. It’s where you get to spend the next four years, and it’s where I want to be when I grow up

Blue Devils held higher and higher expectations for themselves every year. But a national championship banner has yet to hang on the fences ofKoskinen Stadium, and that mising title still stings McFadyen. “We went to four Final Fours,” McFadyen said. “But I would’ve liked to put one away and win the last game of the season to get the national championship.” On an individual level, both McFadyen and Ross accumulated various personal honors to match the success of the squad. Perhaps the most impressive achievement is Ross’s NCAA record of 72 career wins, supported by three All-America awards. McFadyen was named to the ACGAII-Academic team in 2007. Both players were excited about having the unique ability to extend their careers. “Everyone wishes that somehow this could be a life and a career,” Ross said. “When we were younger we didn’t think there would be any opportunity to play after college, so it’s exciting to"be able to play.” McFadyen echoed Ross’s sentiment about the opportu-

As Thomas developed in that nurturing environment for her first two years, she often showed flashes of brilliance. Against North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium last season, she dominated the second half and overtime, finishing with 19points and several clutch plays. All that remains for the junior is to take that crucial next step, one of the most daunting in sports—from displaying occasional greatness to performing at that high level every night. “Once you’ve touched upon that ability to take over a game, I think you get hungrier on a consistent basis, and that’s where she is,” McCallie said. “Now it’s a matter of not necessarily taking over every game, but being ready, able, willing and knowing what you have to do at the time. Because taking over a game can be scoring, passing, defense—it can be a variety of things.” Such knowledge comes only with maturity and experience. Through the prep ranks and in her first two seasons at Duke, Thomas has acquired plenty of both and knows well that she will have to accept her new responsibilities. Tm just going to be more of a leader,” she said. “I’m more experienced, there are no sophomore or freshman excuses anymore. I know how things are supposed to be done here.... More is going to be expected of me now.”

nity to play professionally. “There are a lot of great players who play in the MLL currently,” McFadyen said. “Just getting drafted for me was a big surprise. So if I can go out, have a good time, and do anything positive to help win a couple games for my team, that would be a great contribution to the Bayhawks.” As these stalwarts ofDuke lacrosse continue with their professional careers, they have left a sturdy program behind. “We hope that we have put the team on the road to a championship,” Ross said “Hopefully we set the stage for one in a couple of years.”

Attention, Glass of 2013: The sky is falling As both a graduate student and an alumnus of this fine university, I like to pretend that I’m above the filthy, teeming masses. Just so we’re clear: When I say filthy, teeming masses, I mean undergraduates. And before you argue with me, I have one word for you: Tailgate. And before you call me a hypocrite when you see me in the Blue Zone (please, please, the Blue Zone) this fall, you should be aware that, as a medical I ex student, I go to Tailgate strictly to -T anaron examine the adolescent in his natural environment so that I can better treat him in the future. Or maybe it’s because I’m desperately trying to relive my undergraduate days. It’s hard to remember sometimes. Anyway, as I address you, the aforementioned masses, *

from up in my Ivory Tower, I have Just two comments. First, I would kick any one ofyou right off this campus if I could replace you with John Wall or Gerald Henderson. But you knew that already. I might as well tell you I’d replace a warm puddle of vomit with filet mignon, or that I’d replace Ninth Street with Franklin Street. It’s not personal, just a fact. Second, the sky is falling. Of course I’m referring to Duke Basketball. What else could possibly be so important? If any of you, members of the Class of 2013, are like me, you came to Duke almost entirely because you love basketball. You had some vague idea of “getting a worldclass education,” but you had no idea what that entailed, and you generally used it as an answer when people asked you why you chose Duke because you didn’t think they’d believe you when you told them that you, a gan-

gly kid from the suburbs, actually came to Duke for the same reason as Kyle Singler. But in your head, you didn’t envision sitting in a 300-person lecture hall, or even sitting out on the quad wearing a tweed blazer with suede arm patches and an Oxford shirt looking totally collegiate. Instead, you envisioned Final-Four-watching parties in Cameron, National Championship celebrations on the Quad, and at least one giant bench bonfire every year. But of course, none of that is going to happen. After all, Henderson left, and Wall never came, and now Mike Krzyzewski is skipping town to coach theLos Angeles Lakers. And no, it’s not a four-year-old rumor—it’s a new rumor, dating from the June 19 issue of the Racine (Wisconsin) Journal Times (which is where I always go for my Duke Basketball news). Gery Woelfel, the distributor of the rumor, says his source “usually hits home runs” and that Lakers star Kobe Bryant “will definitely go to bat” in order to bring Coach K to Hollywood. This is troubling on two levels. First, Woelfel is mixing baseball imagery into a basketball story with impunity. Not cool. Second, Coach K is leaving! The sky is falling! Even if this amounts to nothing—Krzyzewski has made no mention of the Lakers job, including in an interview with The Chronicle June 15—it makes you wonder. What if Coach K does leave, not now but three or 10 years from now? What if the basketball program never wins another National Championship or goes to another Final Four? When you decided to come to Duke, the nearly $200,000 pricetag paid for more than four years of tuition plus fees. It also bought you a lifetime of Blue Devil Basketball fan-hood. You can’t wriggle out of that one. But what if the team you get doesn’t look like the team you bought? What if it’s less successful? What if it’s not coached by a legend? What if the columnist writing about it asks another rhetorical question? Well, hold your head high, because the sky isn’t falling. Coach K could leave, the team could miss out on the next 50 Final Fours, UNO could win the next five national championships and Duke Basketball would still be worth rooting for. It would still be a team of good kids who play hard and generally enjoy being college students. They would still play in a beautiful old barn, where five or six times during your four years as a student it will get so loud that you won’t be able to hear yourself scream and the goosebumps will pop up on your arms and you’ll be convinced the whole place is about to come down on top of you and you won’t even care one bit. So here’s a third comment tossed down from my Ivory Tower: Get ready. Don’t agonize over recruits and coaches and Signing Day and the future. Enjoy your four years in Cameron. Alex

recess

duke,Hod

With freshman orientation looming in the distance, we’re all reminded of how awkward it is to make new friends (especially after that extra Busch Light hits your low-tolerance blood). But, in an incredible act of benevolence, recess is here to help, providing tips to make it through the most awkward (and useless) week of your life. Consider this the grown-up (or at least college) version ofwhat Big Bird & Co. taught us. Commenting on how awkward orientation week is—that’s awkward. Talking about how many AP classes you took or your SAT scores doesn’t make you cool or impressive. Everyone else you’re talking to received that Duke-stamped acceptance letter too. You’re not special. You’re not impressive. Besides, you’re not the kid that got into Harvard. On a similar note, each and every one of you has some interesting skill or quirk. You might be the drummer/ harmonica player in a shoegaze/10-fi/ noise rock/blues fusion duo out ofFargo, direct Shakespeare puppet theater or be moonlighting as a rogue demon hunter. Or you might be a collector of women’s undergarments. Whatever you do, that’s cool. Just think before you advertise what it is that makes you special. Hooking up happens in college. Probably more often than it should.

But just because you’re having a slopping go at the hanky-panky doesn’t mean you need to be trashy about it. Word travels fast, and you don’t want to be remembered as the guy who said, “Hey wanna go back to my place, drink some hooch and spin some Rod Stewart records? We could even have some of that good ole in ‘n’ out.” This isn’t California. There’s no missing that eu-

phemism.

Knowing the names of fraternities and sororities does not make you proficient in the Greek alphabet. And on that note, take heed: A£Pi is different from ADPi, which in turn is different from ADPhi. Don’t be the kid who says, “Yeah, Durham really sucks.” No, it’s not Brooklyn—or BK as the kids are calling it these days. It’s not Amsterdam. But check the memo: things are hip below the beltway. At least in Durham anyway. Finally, just because you saw it in Animal House does not mean it actually happens. Don’t shout “Toga! Toga!” at a party, unless, of course, you’re at a toga party. This is school. Act like it. Follow this guide and you’ll be a regular Mr. Cool. Or you could just go the next four years without friends. It’s not like anyone that goes to Duke is that great anyway.

“I’m never going to be able to run for public office with an arrest on my record!” This was the drunken logic of my best friend as we sat cross-legged on the floor of an unknown fraternity brother’s bedroom, apprehensively hiding from the police, but still irrationally clutching our Solo cups as if drinking would ease our anxiety. When the law unceremoniously arrived at the off-campus house on that first day of orientation, the evacuating tipsy first-years had blocked most of the exits, and we were left to try our luck upstairs. It seemed we were the only freshmen stupid enough not to flee. But as we giggled nervously over our dilemma, panicked shushing sounds emerged from the closet. Concealed among the polo shirts and button-downs, two of our classmates huddled in terrified silence. I found the whole situation amusing, but I feared the unfamiliarity of this mysterious crisis. I didn’t know anything. I was a freshman. When instincts said reemerging was appropriate, we reentered the lingering festivities—the gender ratio strongly in our favor, in the wake of thefreshmen exodus. We hadjustwon the lottery of upperclassman boys. Pretending we needed instruction in flip cup and faced with little competition, a potentially disastrous police run-in suddenly evolved into a smorgasbord of romantic opportunity. That was thefirst moment. There was a party going on in the hallway. This is the essence of a section party —intrusive, claustrophobic revelry intended to fill every last nook and cranny, trying not to waste a single drop of a good time. I was flirting in the doorway. A conversation turned into a trip to Devine’s. The cab company accepted FLEX. A trip to Devine’s turned into making out on the Southgate bench. Not having learned the art of sex-iling yet, making out on the Southgate bench turned into making out in the Southgate laundry room. That was the second moment We had no air conditioning during a recordbreaking Durham heatwave. I failed to appreciate how insufferable this situation would be until forced to endure the sight offreshly pressed hair turning thick and kinky only within minutes of being ironed into submission. Vanity is always the first to take note of emergency, but soon my more pragmatic sensibilities were kicking in, unsure of how I would manage to sleep or study without continuous and direct contact with cooling device. My two roommates were

being

driven equally mad. And so we hatched a plan The rest of the class of 2011 at an was looking at freshmen yearbooks alumni-sponsored picnic, part of orientation week’s cruise ship-style itinerary. We, on the other hand, were enjoying the retail familiarity of Target, assessing the prices of various models of A/C window units. The tricky part (or so it seemed at the time) would be sneaking our illicit air conditioner past our RA and any of our more scrupulous hall mates. After a successfully stealth unloading process, we developed some innovative home improvement strategies using Styrofoam and duck tape. One look at the poorly constructed sculpture of plastic and bits of cardboard box revealed the amateur mechanics involved in its installation. But that was a problem for another time. We sighed in the success of our accomplishments as the air began to refrigerate that third-floor triple, just three freshmen girls trying to get some straight hair. That was the third moment. Sometime during the chaos of orientation week, a moment passes when you are suddenly hit with the strange realization that you’re in college. This is Duke’s version ofculture shock, when events that would be considered preposterous, offensive or illogical in the real world are categorized as normal. Before such an occurrence, all your DukeCards and mini-fridges just seem like props for a sitcom of the college experience, with all eager and earnest freshmen waiting around for someone to give them a script When it becomes clear that no one is going to yell, “Action!” hooking up on a public washing machine seems as normal as a clandestine air conditioner smuggling operation. And that’s when writing about sex in a highly public venue seems like a really good idea. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you soon will. Until then, welcome to Duke.

In 1989, Superchunk, based out of Chapel Hill, began to attract interest from major labels like Atlantic Records. But instead of signing with an already established label, McCaughan and Ballance started their own: Merge Records. Twenty years later, the label—now comprised of over 60 bands;—has become a leading influence in indie music. While still representing many North Carolina-based groups, Merge has attracted musicians from across the world, including at one time or another the likes ofCamera Obscura, Spoon and the Arcade Fire. Every five years, the label has organized a festival that attempts to bring together as many of their acts as possible. This month brings XX Merge, a five-night extravaganza created to honor the label’s 20th anniversary. Held from July 22-26, XX Merge will consist of four nights at Carrboro’s Cat’s Cradle and a final show, headlined by folk duo She & Him —She being major actress Zooey Deschanel, and Him, Merge rocker M. Ward—at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Memorial Hall. Concertgoers can expect an air of unpredictability from the Cradle shows.

Opening a gallery has been a dream of long-standing for Pelphrey and Dew.

“We wanted it to be an unpretentious space,” Pelphrey said. “A place where everybody passing by feels welcome.” The gallery is artist-driven, and many of the artists featured in LabourLove have never had a professional show be-

fore. “I just wanted a good starting place for young artists,” Dew said. The walls ofLabourLove are currently host to a series by three up-and-coming artists: long-time Raleigh resident Luke Miller Buchanan, fresh-faced Durhamite and former New Yorker Kevin McGoff and Dew herself. Dew’s featured work is a series completed while pregnant with the couple’s now two-year-old son. The pieces are collaged together with wallpaper, newspaper and magazine clippings and other detritus of interior design commingled with paint. The composition of each artwork reflects the stage of her child’s natal development, explained

The LabourLove Gallery recently opened its doors in downtown Durham's Golden Belt, a newly renovated art facility.Managed by two Hillsborough residents, the gallery features work by several young artists. Dew. The series, as a whole, is a labor of patience, development and, appropriately, love. McGoffs work, all of it oil on canvas, takes on a sheen of pop-realism. “I paint African-American people,” McGoff said. “Sort of viewing it through a white person’s experience. I’m fascinated by it, and most things I paint are informed by that.” From urban snapshots to television

freeze-frames to a crowd-pleasing portrait of Barack Obama sensually indulging in an ice-cream cone, McGoff juxtaposes neon-vibrant color with soft, almost aural lines to create a sensation that is both mesmerizing and old-school nostalgic.

fice of Study Abroad, the Spring 2010 iteration of Duke in LA will be cancelled. Offered each Spring since 1996, the program, targeted at pupils interested in film and media careers, offered students a chance to study at the University of Southern California and take on a 15-hour per week internship. With its transition from the F/V/D office comes major changes in the program. According to a press release, Associate Professor of Romance Studies & Art Esther Gabara and Assistant Professor of the Practice of Visual Arts Pedro Lasch, who is also an artist, will join Duke in LA Faculty Director Jim Thompson at the helm. Both will likely broaden the program beyond its current film focus. Pre-requisites for the program will also change. Currently, students need only have taken Introduction to Film or Introduction to Visual Studies. The program offers four course credits—two from USC, one from Duke and one for the internship. Duke in LA will resume in Spring 2011. —from staff reports

So it’s a lovely summer evening, and you want to see a show. You don’t have a car, which means Cat’s Cradle is out of the question. Most of your cash is going toward food, making an expensive ticket to Carolina Theater unrealistic. And you’re underage, so a bar isn’t the, ahem, most legal of options. But don’t fret—Director of Duke Performances Aaron Greenwald has an idea for you. And it’s free, if you’re a student. This summer, Duke Performances is hosting its second annual Music in the Gardens series. The series is composed of three indoor chamber music shows and a number of outdoor independent rock concerts, featuring music with a Triangle connection and some national appeal. Case in point: the Rosebuds, a Raleigh-based duo from Chapel Hill’s Merge Records, performed in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens June 10. “[The Rosebuds] performed just a killer show,” Greenwald said. “And we had 800 people out for the show, which is pretty incredible if your real aim is not to have thousands of people out but to do something in a very low-key and relaxed fashion.” Greenwald said the summer is an essential time for Duke Performances to “retool” and pursue this type of lower-energy, less taxing slate of programming. During the school year, the organization presents artists that Greenwald describes as “of the highest caliber,” generally erring more toward traditional and classical music. The indie rock shows

cal artistry. “To be able to maintain that sort of ethos but also draw what we would consider to be pretty massive audiences for this sort of thing is pretty gratifying,” Greenwald said. ■ Duke Performances is under the umbrella of the Provost’s office, lending some authenticity to the organization’s stated goal of promoting academic, intellectual art with its programming. But this is not mutually exclusive with relaxing fare, as Greenwald and Provost Peter Lange were both quick to point out.

“I think [Music in the Gardens] is an

entirely appropriate and engaging part of the kinds of contributions that Duke Performances makes to our campus and noncampus communities,” Lange wrote in an e-mail. “‘Laid back’ is good and should not imply intellectually or artistically vacuous, in fact, when done well, quite the opposite.” Greenwald said the series is off to an “enormously successful” start, and the performers also seem to be enjoying themselves. Alt-country artist Thad Cockrell played the series’ first outdoor show, and he came away with a positive vibe. “It was beautiful. It was cool. It was really laid back,” Cockrell said. Sounds like summer.

WILCO WILCO (the ALBUM)

FAR

NONESUCH

SIRE RECORDS

�����

�����

Any time a band releases an eponymous album, they are not only gambling the reputation of the album itself, but of their entire catalogue to date; they are saying, “this is our definitive work.” With their newest, self-tided album, altcountry superstars Wilco have taken thatrisk a step further with their opening track, “Wilco (The Song).” From there, they quickly cover a vast musical landscape. “Deeper Down” mines Wilco’s country roots with twangy guitar chords interspersed with soulful vocals, while “Solitaire” is reminiscent of their slower work on 1999’s Summerteeth. “I’ll Fight” matches blues lyrics with an oddly up-beat tempo thatjohnny Cash would’ve been proud to have written. “You Never Know” is a piano-driven romp dissecting generational self-interest that seems to uncover significant universal truths nonchalantly—a pretty nifty trick. A few weeks ago at a party, some unapologetic hipsters—the kind who believe that “irony” qualifies as a lifestyle and required me to list my five favorite books as a prerequisite to conversation—asked me to name my favorite Wilco song. In any other instance, the fact that people I found so repulsive liked a band as much as I did would have turned me off that band completely. But Wilco exists independent of their own identity; their music is neither reactionary nor contrived; they don’t experiment for the sake of experimentation. They could care less if you don’t think they’re cool (though they are cool enough to care about their fans, especially at concerts). So here, in this moment when these hipsters were trying to negotiate a sort of cultural advantage, Wilco was actually a force of equity. Jeff Tweedy is an undeniable everyman; instead of the usual rock-star excesses of fast drugs and loose women, he carries his son on his shoulders during encores. Not that he hasn’t battled adversity, such as his addiction to pain killers, but when the axiom that musicians must “suffer for their art” becomes stale, you can look to artists like Tweedy

REGINA SPEKTOR

for redemption. On Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco derived poignancy from the melancholic, discovering that sentimentality, wistful or otherwise, never came cheap. With Wilco (The Album), they have realized that while pain is a convenient source of inspiration, the motivated can find it anywhere—even in a beat-up Chevy Nova. When asked, I answered with “Misunderstood” as my favorite Wilco song and then amended that to “Wishful Thinking.” Now, I would say Wilco s closing track, “Everlasting Everything.” Does that indicate anything? Would it be a bold statesmen! to say that, even with the likes of Yankee HotelFoxtrot, Being There and A Ghost is Bom behind them, Wilco is better than ever? —Alex Fankuchen

Duke Chamber Players is one of Duke's newest, freshest musical ensembles. We are a chamber orchestra of motivated musicians who play high-level, exciting music, both classical and popular. As a small, student-run ensemble, we have the freedom to base repertoire decisions on members' ideas and interests and to perform at campus hotspots as well as conceit halls.

DCP will be holding auditions the week of August 24.

Regina Spektor is an oddity, and that’s why we love her. Her last record, Begin to Hope —including the infectious mainstream hit “Fidelity”—put her on the radar as one of the most charming musician/songwriters today. And anticipation has been high for its successor, Far, her fifth studio album. On the new record, Spek'tor’s quirk is more polished. After working with four big-name producers, the songs are glossier but her signature spunk is not dampened. Rather, the music has comfortably matured without feeling awkward. First single “Laughing With” perfectly encapsulates this added depth. Spektor explores therole God plays in our daily lives in a fantastical but grounded way. Straying from songs that are purely silly (e.g., “That Time,” which is great, for the record), this track showcases her ability to infuse the lighthearted with a deeper, more personal token of truth. Her earnest storytelling, also highlighted in “Blue Lips” and “Two Birds,” is at its finest in “Man of a Thousand Faces.” Lyrics like, “He’s found a path to her likeness/He eats a small lump of sugar/Smiles at the moon like he knows her” are set to an unfettered piano melody that fully underscores the songwriting. Though many of the songs on Far tend to be slower, Spektor compensates with some upbeat gems. A good example of this style is the summer-kissed “Folding Chair,” one of the strongest tracks on the album. It is full of surprising embellishments—Spektor imitates a dolphin at one point —and reminds us of just how charming she can be. “Dance Anthem of the 80s” is most reminiscent of the Spektor ofold, heavily sprinkled with her flirtatious and funky vocal ornamentations. Overall, Far is more accessible than previous records, but the strong tracks shine brighter than ever before, giving fans old and new a needed fill of the Spekt-acular. —Jessie Tang

Renowned choreographer Shen Wei treated Durham residents, members of the Duke community and dance lovers from across the globe to a perl his work June 18-20at the Durham Performing Arts Center. Pilobolus will perform its two newest pieces—in addition to three classics—at DPAC i “The whole glorious explosion of the sixties made them free to explore different directions that were not possible ten years ago,” Reinhart said. “There is this modem dance tree —and Pilobolus is this glorious mushroom.” The synthesis of these forms is a major theme of this year’s ADR Contemporary styles and traditional ballet used to exist independentiy from one another, but recently that gap has shrunk ”as evinced by the presence of choreographers like Shen Wei. Through panels, discussions and showcases, participants will weigh the pros and cons of the fusion. Although Pilobolus’ multifaceted performances fit especially

well with this focus, the group has been a constant years. Reinhart found that the company appealed to a of audiences. “It is a rare case when you believe in the talent and agrees with you almost immediately,” he said.

a summer staple at the American Dance Festival since 1973, the dance troupe Pilobolus is anything but commonplace. And this year, they are back to prove it again. From performing in the 2007 Academy Awards to touring internationally, the group quickly established its reputation for pushing dances to the physical limit, seeking both to move and to shock. “They’re innovators,” said Charles Reinhart, President and Director of ADF. “They put movement together in away that no one else had done before.” Pilobolus combines elements of acrobatics, athleticism, flexibility and body exaggerations to create both serious and humorous pieces. To date, the group boasts a repertoire of more than 85 works, five of which will be performed at this year’s festival. The lineup includes two ADF-commissioned world premieres: 2b by Israeli choreographers Avshalom Poliak and Inbal Pinto and Redline by Jonathon Wolken, Pilobolus’ Development Director and co-founder. Redline features “pedal-to-the-metal” energy while 2b is more theatrical, he said. The other three pieces are Pilobolus classics. Before 2b, Poliak and Pinto collaborated with the troupe to produce a dramatic dance called Rushes. Ocellus features a men’s quartet engaged in almost-primal body contortions. Finally, the silent WaMyndon features six comedic jocks bopping about in vaudeville-style. According to Wolken, all the works, as varied as they are, are meant to incite the audience. “We want people to have strong reactions and to say, T love it,’ T hate it,’ or ‘it’s disgusting,”’ he said. “The day we have only one thing to say is a sad day, indeed.” Since its inception, Pilobolus has been marked by this tendency to provoke and stand out. Wolken and fellow Dartmouth students founded the group in 1971 after the chaotic ’6os. As the meaning of the company’s name suggests (Pilobolus is a type of fungus), none of the founders were especially trained in dance. Almost immediately, they diverged from the traditional art form.

Pilobolus will perform July 9-11 at 8 p.m. at the Durham Arts Center. For ticketing information, visit the ADF Web site.

New

York choreographer Mark Dendy returns to the American Dance Festival with two new site-specific performances. His second piece, Golden Belt, utilizes about 12,000 square feet of the lobby, bathroom, upper floor and stairwells in the recently renovated Golden Belt complex. recess’ Sanette Tanaka recently discussed the piece with Dendy. recess: Why did you choose Golden Belt as the site of your dance? Mark Dendy: I came to Durham looking around for spaces. A friend of mine is a painter and has a studio here at Golden Belt, which was an old textile factory that made packaging for cigarettes. Later, the areas were turned into galleries, office space and lofts. I got a tour of the place and just fell in love with it. The upstairs room has windows and columns and beams; it’s a very open space and begging to be choreographed for. I walked into this room and I said, “I want to choreograph a dance in here.” The space just speaks to me—its history, its architecture, its upper room. Also, with the utilization of ADF students and local dancers augmenting my company, it’s a great way to get as many people involved in the community as possible.

choreographers, Morris leads an ensemble that has performed across the globe and is known for its electic use of live music.

R; Where do you get your inspiration for your dances? MD: My inspiration comes a great deal from the site-specific works that I’ve previously been involved in, like Ruby Shang’s The Small Wall Project in 1984. That was a great influence on me in the use of architecture and the use of landscaping because that becomes your partner on stage. It takes dance back to its original function as a ritual, as opposed to a separate performer-and-audience manner.

R: Why do you continue to perform at ADF year after year? MD: I have this wonderful relationship with ADF. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing that you get with an organization. The American Dance Festival is also where I learned so much about dance when I was a student here. The first summer I came here, there must have been at least 15 different ways of working that I was exposed to, both in performances and in classes. I also met the first three choreographers I worked with here at ADF. That helped me with my tran-

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

sition from college student to professionaljbecause I was already connected. And I can trace that deep and emodonal connection all the way back to the start of my career. It just keeps renewing itself. R; You’re famous for daring and energetic dances at site-specific works. What’s different about this year’s performance at ADF? MD: This next piece goes along with the progression of my work. I’ve done lots of sitespecific works—the Kennedy Center in D.C. and two site-specific works at ADF. Golden Belt is building on that legacy. The difference, though, is the amount of movement and new vocabulary for this new group of dancers I’ve been working with. Even so, every site-specific piece is unique because the space dictates your limits and your possibilities. It’s kind of like working with a composer to create music because you’re working with the space and the architecture to collaborate on a piece. These kinds of dances will always be different according to the site that inspires them.

R: What can we expect at your performance? MD: You can expect the usual audienceperformance relationship—broken in half by a stage—to be gone. You’re right with the dancers, three feet away and breathing the same air. There is no “us and them.” It’s just us, you know what I mean? Everybody is an “us.” It kind of takes away the subject-object relationship and makes it subject-subject. We want everyone to come out. This piece is definitely made for the community. Golden Belt will be performed Friday, July 17 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, July 18 at 2 p.m. in Golden Belt’s Building 2, Floor 3. Shows are free and open to the public.

them.”

MERGE from page 3 store,” Cook said

One such surprise may come from the anticipated Superchunk performance. Due to McCaughan and Balance’s obligations at Merge Records, Superchunk shows have become increasingly rare. Yet McCaughan wrote in an email that the band is currently recording new tracks, with plans of releasing a single in July. In fact, a new Superchunk release in April—EP Leaves in the Gutter, their first release of new material in 8 years—is just one of a number of fresh Merge releases taking place within months of the festival. For the performers, XX Merge is more of a celebration than a showcase for the label. Ivan Howard, of Raleigh’s the Rosebuds, views the festival as an opportunity to reconnect with labelmates who he rarely has a chance to hear in person. “It’s a family reunion situation,” Howard said. “A lot of the bands travel all the time, and we never get to see

Scheduling so many acts could easily have been a logistical nightmare for Merge employees, but McCaughan was surprised at the willingness of his roster to perform at XX Merge.

“The actual label hasn’t changed at all [despite its growth.] They may have hired a few more people, but they always treat us exactly the same.” Ivan Howard, member of the Rosebuds “Persuading the bands is always easier than I think it will be- I feel like they’re doing us a favor, but they (hopefully) see it as something fun to do,” McCaughan wrote.

It’s clear that Merge owes much of their success

esSk

to

an ability to retain personal relationships with all of their artists, despite continued growth. Convincing 30 acts to come and play takes more than just fiscal incentives. “The actual label hasn’t changed at all. They may have hired a few more people, but they always treat us exactly the same,” Howard said. “The label is exactly the

same.”

Cook, who has followed Merge artists since he first attended a Superchunk show in the early ’9os,

agreed.

“Merge purposely stayed small,” Cook said. “They never overreached.... They never wanted to simply find the next record that would make them money.” Merge Records is an example of what happens when diligent and business-sawy musicians are allowed to run their own label. And XX Merge will allow fans to enjoy the label’s dedication to indie music. “It’s a chance to see a bunch of great bands all at once, and unlike most festivals now, you’re not standing in a field somewhere,” McCaughan wrote. ‘You’re up close and seeing these bands in a great rock club.”

wrapping its cartoonist lips around a fat, white cigarette. The piece stands in trenchant contrast with the realism of other pieces. Luke Miller Buchanan’s work is powerful objectively, but its context against the exposed brick wall of the born-again Golden Belt creative campus makes it even more so. The Golden Belt complex, formerly Golden Belt Manufacturing Company which closed operations in 1996, lay empty and dormant for a decade before it was purchased by a developer in 2006. According to Buchanan, his scenes of wasted factories, rusted steam plants and post-industrial decay are lifted from the very streets that surround the gallery. The series is a visceral reminder of the history of the very walls upon which the work rests. “The ability to reclaim a building and change what it’s for but keep a nod towards what it was goes along with my painting,” Buchanan said. LabourLove Gallery is bpen and inviting, beckoning not only young artists but young clients as well. Because the artists are all relatively new to the scene, their original works are priced well below what one would expect to pay at a gallery. For those who are not in the market to furnish a house, the gallery also offers giclee and t-shirt prints of its art at prices within a college student’s budget. Sure to be a hit as well are its beautifully reupholstered pillows and pieces of vintage furniture, also featuring prints of the art.

MOBY

����� When Eminem famously dissed Moby on “Without Me,” the rapper explained the folly of pop stars taking potshots at one another pop success is fleeting, and at this point a new Moby record justseems to fit the volatile landscape of popular music better than Eminem. In 1999, Play became Moby’s surprisingly likeable breakthrough, achieving multi-platinum sales and the dubious accomplishment of having all 18 of its tracks licensed for commercial use. This trivia speaks to the emotional elasticity of Moby’s compositions, but his übiquity in television ads and film scores marked a promising creative shift in the market. After all, Moby displays a musical acumen more impressive than most, drawing from Phillip Glass and Kraftwerk with equal aplomb. Moby’s music sees a harmonious coexistence between pop and compositional music—jazz, classical and electronic. His last two records seemed like a ploy

please record label execs delighted by the unlikely success of Play, and Wait for Me needed to be a statement of creative reinvigoration in order for Moby to reestablish his credibility. Unfortunately, the first three tracks only inspire ambivalence. “Pale Horses” is generic movie soundtrack fodder. And lead single “Shot in the Back of the Head”, manages to be more affecting than most of the purely instrumental material he’s released post-Play. Pulling samples from a now too familiar repertoire of blues and gospel, “Study War” is pleasant enough, but by now cliche to those familiar with Moby’s back catalog. “A Seated Night” is his latest track design for advertising—essentially a desultory chorale song placed randomly in the center of the album. It would, however, sound great on the soundtrack for. the next Dan Brown film adaptation. But it’s all a shame, since Moby clearly knows his craft well and has talent to spare. And perplexingly, on his latest LPs—including this one—Moby’s creative instincts have seemed stifled. Brian Contralto to

WAIT FOR ME MUTE

FHM Magazine once named the Killers The Best Band Not From Britain. If that’s true, then Phoenix is The Best American Band Not From America. Over the past decade, the Parisian foursome has not only ditched their native tongue, they’ve also left behind stereotypes that Europeans can’t recreate the American pop sound. But Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is not just a simple replication of the group’s prior success. Instead, the album tackles styles and themes previously unexplored. Whereas earlier releases like United and Alphabetical were delightfully bubbly, and It’s Never Been Like That was an attempt at a more guitar-driven sound, Wolfgang is Phoenix’s softer, even classical record. And it’s hard not to notice this classical motif. Both the album’s name and first single, the meditative “Lisztomania,” are references to musicians of not decades, but centuries past Standouts like “Fences” and “Rome” introduce sweeping sounds more reserved for opera halls thanrock clubs. And through it all, lead singer Thomas Mars mixes the simple and the subtle to create addictive lyrics. In “Lasso,” he advises that “forever is a long long time when you lost your way.” On “Girlfriend,” he proclaims, “the miracles still give fortune tears.” These are the signs of an outstanding album. I don’t know what Mars is talking about. I just want to. In Wolfgang, Phoenix has found what most bands yearn for; a fluctuating sound backed by continual success. With each new release, Phoenix makes it more and more clear that Americans are now importing their best pop music. —Jordan Axt

ART REVIEW

Unconventional ‘Video Quartet' hits the Nasher by

Claire Finch

THE CHRONICLE

Imagine the ultimate synthesis of Girl Talk’s aural pop-culture sampling, John Cage’s high-art experimental sense and an MGM movie highlight reel. Fans of any of the above will be enthralled by Christian Marclay’s epic 14-minute media work, Video Quartet, on display now at the Nasher Museum of Art. Video Quartet is, quite simply, overwhelming. Over 700 video clips from film and culture flash across four adjacent screens. Their corresponding audio mingles and overlaps to form a deftly-composed experimental symphony. Confronted with the symbiotic melange

of sound and image and the looping repetitions that form the basic skeleton of the piece, one can decipher the traces of Marclay’s earlier artistic experiments with turntables and records. An art student in the late 19705, Marclay was heavily influenced by the burgeoning punk movement; Unable to play an instrument, he set about manipulating records, fascinated by their oft-maligned potential for skips and ambient noise. Out of this interest rose his sound collages: records cut apart and glued back together in interesting configurations that distorted the sound or allowed him to mix sounds from different records. Because he was creating these sound objects long

before hip-hop’s popularity made record manipulation a thing of contemporary culture, Marclay is often lauded as a pioneer of sound appropriation —an influence that is fully evolved in his 2002 work, Video Quartet. The work is on one level a wry commentary of how we visualize sound and those who produce it. Jumbled together are actors playing musicians, musicians playing musicians and real musicians just playing their instruments, constantly calling into question the foggy line between popular performance and performance art. Thrown in are seemingly random sounds glass bottles breaking, loose change clanging against a hard floor, cinematic explosions—that further challenge notions of —

acceptable musical expression.

Part of the work’s attraction lies not only in its obvious appeal to artistic sensibilities, but in its ability to excite viewers via a myriad of pop-culture references. Sightings of Dick Van Dyke as the chimney sweep in Mary Poppins, archival footage of Bob Dylan entertaining friends with his harmonica and a clip'of Sandra Bullock in a dirndl all augment the piece’s seductive power. Add the fact that the four screens make it virtually impossible to catch every fleeting reference, and it becomes impossible to justify seeing Video Quartet only once. Video Quartet is on display now through July 26 at the Nas her Museum ofArt.

WHATEVER WORKS DIR. WOODY ALLEN SONY PICTURES CLASSIC

����� Neurotic New York Jews everywhere have dreamed of the day when comedy kings Larry David and Woody Allen would combine forces on film. Well, that day has arrived, and, apparently, too many cynics spoil the broth. In Whatever Works, David plays Boris Yellnikoff, a retired college professor who “filches” what little joy he can from the world by terrorizing his tween chess students, eating knishes and occasionally throwing himself out of windows. Boris’ nihilistic routine is turned upside down when Melodic St. Ann Celestine (Evan Rachel Wood), a former Mississippi pageant queen who has run away to start anew in the Big Apple (cringe), becomes his 17-year-old bride. Matters are further complicated when Melodie’s equally blonde and sheltered mother (Patricia Clarkson) comes searching for her and thanks to Boris, whimsically discovers her overlooked and miraculous gift for photography. To top off this incredulous lower east side odyssey, the insufferable southern belles manage to indoctrinate Boris’ inflexible approach to life with the notion of love, turning everyone’s favorite TV curmudgeon into just another victim of a fairytale ending. Made evident from his work on Seinfeld and Curb your Enthusiasm, David is at his best in the kind of comedy where he can pin his pessimism against the little things in life such as soup and the lack of parking spots. Here, Boris tackles the broader dilemma of life and the meaning of it, drowning the usual charm of David’s hostility in cliche characters and one outlandish plot twist after another. Allen can’t seem to adapt David’s comedic talents to Boris’ character—perhaps because the script, penned in the 19705, was originally written for comedian Zero Mostel. At the beginning of the film Boris informs us that “this is not going to be the feel good movie of the year.” He is absolutely right. Whatever used to work for Woody Allen—the auteur who made OCD and horn-rimmed glasses irresistible in award winning classics such as Annie Hall and Manhattan—has finally gone sour. Emily Ackerman

FOOD, INC. DIR. R. KENNER MAGNOLIA PICTURES

����� Though the villainy of largescale corporate farms and virtue oflocal food are old news by now, it hasn’t prevented activists from promoting their cause. But after Upton Sinclair and post -Fast Food Nation do we really need another exercise in food industry muck,

raking? According

to

Robert Ken-

ner, “Yes.” In his documentary Food, Inc., the director throws

the audience into the stomachchurning world of American farming, and delivers a film that, while not packed with new insights, remains fresh and en-

gaging. Rightly so, the doc does demonstrate a keen awareness of its predecessors, most likely due to Eric Schlosser’s presence as a co-producer and a narrator of sorts. Free of gimmicks a la Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me, the doc benefits from its more factual approach to the subject. Kenner and his crew capture stunning images of animal mistreatment that will make CEOs sweat and audiences rethink their next side of bacon. One of Food, Inc.'s greatest assets is the breadth of its coverage, which ranges from corporations to government, from big to small farms and finally to individual consumers. Similarly, the doc isn’t merely a gross-out vilification of

2009

the food industry—Kenner offers examples of individuals and companies who are making a difference in the way Americans eat. He highlights yogurt giant Stonyfield Farm and Polyface Farm, a sustainable cattle farm in Virginia, as pioneers. This positive focus gives the narrative a unique bite, injecting some joyful zest into a blandly grim topic. Food, Inc., which showed at Durham’s Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in April, is certainly not a necessary film, but Kenner and his crew have added their voice to an important movement in America. The result is a film not particularly surprising but nonetheless informative and enjoyable. Andrew Hibbard

David Bowie’s son would look to outer space in his directorial debut. In the near, post-energy-crisis future, astronaut/miner Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is at the end of a three-year assignment at space station Selene, where his only company is artificial intelligence system GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). When the station’s satellite goes down and he is left with only a set of old communication tapes with his wife and child, Bell begins to experience strange emotions, hear ghostly noises and hallucinate. While on a routine extraction of Helium-3—the solution to the energy crisis—Bell suffers an accident, spurring conflicting feelings ofinconsolable loneliness and disquieting uncertainty about whether or not he is actually alone. Rockwell delivers an impressive performance as the only man for hundreds of thousands of miles. With a nonhuman supporting cast of special effects, Rockwell, like Bell, is truly alone when mining for his character’s identity to compel the story forward. The film is an actor’s workshop for Rockwell as he displays remarkable range, captivating the audience start to finish. Director and co-writer Duncan Jones partially reveals Moon’s twist early in the film rather than predictably unveiling it at the film’s close. His choice is well executed, however, as it engages the audience during the movie and adds an interesting complication to the narrative’s unfolding. Moon successfully avoids becoming another conventional sci-fi film, largely because Jones’ direction and penmanship focus on the psychological, more human effect of Bell’s alienation, rather than the alien environment of outer space This is ground control to director Jones—you’ve really made the grade.

What makes Rudo y Cursi such a powerful picture is that it slide-tackles a lot of heavy issues, like the struggles of life in rural Mexico, the exploitation of poor-yettalented athletes, gambling and drug addiction. As Luna and Bernal compellingly mix gags and gravitas in their characters, the film delves deep into the tug-of-war between passion (gambling and singing) and talent (soccer). It makes us arts and crafts students wonder whether to focus on what we enjoy (re-playing Pokemon Yellow on my Gameboy) or what will make us most successful (taking Econ 55D and learning about maturity through the ensuing C+)? Although the closing minutes are more disappointing and depressing than Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, seeing director Carlos Cuaron’s beautifully shot drama is a worthwhile and wrenching way to escape the summer heat. Brendan Szulik

RUDO Y CURSI DIR. CARLOS CUARON SONY PICTURES CLASSIC

����� If Rudo y Cursi accurately portrays the lives of professional soccer players, I am glad I get my kicks watching movies. Brothers Beto (Diego Luna) and Tato (Gael Garcia Bernal) leave the banana farms they call home to pursue dreams of soccer, celebrity and success. Along their individual paths to glory, they pick up nicknames “rudo” and “cursi”—tough and corny—for their respective playing styles. But just like many professional aihletes often succumb to their vices (is it too late for a Michael Vick joke?) and dreams, the two struggle to remain focused on soccer, putting their careers in jeopardy. Their paths climatically collide in a pivotal game against one another, each with their careers on the line.

At Duke you can find everything from the luxury and class ofthe dining options at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club to the on-the-go convenience of Pauly Dogs and other carts on the West Campus Plaza.

If you’re new to campus and still don’t understand seasoned Duldes who throw out words like “Dillo” and “Loop,” it is essential that you read on. 1. Alpine Bagels (West Union). At 8:30 a.m. on any given weekday, you can walk into Alpine and see a line full of sleep-deprived sophomores waiting for

their breakfast bagel. Alpine offers an impressive selection of quick breakfast items and filling bagels to satisfy even the hungriest early-riser. You can also stop by a few hours later and have a sandwich served on any of their legendary

bagels.

2. Armadillo Grill (Bryan Center). Ask a Dulde to sum up the “Dillo” experi-

likely to hear the words “cheap,” “fast,” and “good” at some point

3. Blue Express (Levine Science Research Center). Stop by the LSRC to enjoy lunch with a Middle Eastern flair. The cafeteria has practically everything, but those who want to enjoy the best of this science majors paradise order the daily special. They’re all good.

4. Bull City Sweets (Plaza). This new addition to the plaza cart collection has every dessert you could possibly want. If you need a dessert on the go, try the cupcakes. 5. East Campus Coffeehouse (East Campus, back side of Crowell Building). If you need some fair trade, organic coffee, there are few things better than Counter Culture. The coffeehouse also has a number of authentic teas for those who aren’t keen on roasted beans. Be sure to stop by on the weekends to catch some local bands who are trying to make it big.

The Refectory inside the Divinity School offers organic dishes and arguably the best only trick is finding the mysterious white truck, which you can do by following them on Twitter or visiting their Web site.

The University’s library system is one of the top 10 private institution systems in the country. Centered around the William R. Perkins Library and its seven branches, the campus also boasts separately administered libraries at the Divinity School, the Fuqua School of Business, the School of Law and the School of Medicine.

The Duke University Libraries, with 11 locations on and near campus, offer small group study rooms and infinite reading sources

study. It is easy to think that with so many books, so much information spread among so many libraries, a student may never find what he or she is looking for. No assumption could be furthar from the truth. It is always good to stop for directions, and Duke librarians encourage students to ask for their assistance. As evidenced by their slogan all over the library and the Duke University Libraries Web site, theUniversity’s library staff wants you toi “Save time, ask a librarian.” But students don’t have to seek out the information or reference desks to find help in the library. If a question or comment is not urgent, students can e-mail the library through its Web site. Students can use the library Web site or computers to Instant Message a librarian with a question, and Dukeßef will help you locate your source material whether you are on the fourth floor of Bostock or in your East Campus dorm room. For immediate answers when a student is not near a computer to send an IM, students now have the option of texting a librarian. To seek assistance in any Perkins system library, a student need only text their question “Dukeßef:...” to 265010. A librarian will promptly text back the answer to the wayward

student’s phone.

But library life at Duke is about more than finding books for conducting research or writing papers. Spending time in the library is as essential to Duke students as watching basketball games. Not only will Duke libraries provide you with reference help, research consultations, computer assis-

Perkins, Bostock and Lilly libraries—the most well traversed libraries during exam season—offer computer clusters, silent reading rooms, group study rooms, desks and comfy chairs.

Located at the “apex" of the Triangle, Durham is the home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University. Formerly a stop on the Great Indian Trading Path, the Eno River and present Durham area were home to Native Americans of the Eno, the Haw and Occaneechi tribes. In the 1750 the fertile area attracted Scottish, Irish and British settlers. Nearby Hillsborough and Raleigh developed as centers of trade and government. Present day Durham originated with the arrival of the railroad and the need for a water tank or stop which was accommodated by the gift of land by Dr. Bartlett Durham. The community grew dramatically after the Civil War when it became a manufacturing center

s

Durham is at the pinnacle of a vast Triangle region of North Carolina, formed along with Chapel Hill to the south and west and Raleigh, the State Capital, to the south and east. The Triangle region is ranked among the best places in the nation to live and to do business. Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill each has its own unique colleges, universities and attractions. The RDU International Airport and the Research Triangle Park (RTP) are located in the center of the Triangle region. Some of the world's largest corporations have research and manufacturing facilities in RTP, including IBM, GlaxoSmithKline, NORTEL Networks, Verizon Communications, and agencies such as the EPA.

THE CHRONIC ;le

Duke Athletics: more than just K-ville Duke prides itself on being a place where every land of student can find a niche, an activity each student feels comfortable with and something that binds them to the larger Duke community. Inevitably, that activity is Blue Devil athletics. Walk across Towerview Drive on your

first trip to West Campus, look a little to the right, and you’ll see what appears to be just another Gothic style building, but

year, put Duke football back on the na-

tional radar, and with fourth-year starter Thaddeus Lewis playing quarterback, the Blue Devils should light up Wallace Wade Stadium in 2009.

Basketball and football are the marquee sports here at Duke, and Mike Krzyzewski and David Cutcliffe might be the biggest names on campus. Duke Athletics, though, is known for the quality teams it puts out in most every sport.

this one is a little taller than the rest.

Free one spring afternoon? Head over to

That’s Cameron Indoor Stadium, the most famous basketball arena on the planet (sorry, Madison Square Garden). The feeling of walking into Cameron in late October for that first exhibition game pales in comparison to anything you’ll have done up to that point —and words can’t describe the rush you’ll get after spending weeks in a tent for a chance to mercilessly boo Carolina. Cameron is a special place, as any current or former Duke student will tell you, and being a Cameron Crazie isn’t something you’ll want to pass up. But there’s more to Duke sports than just the mens basketball team. A lot more.

The Blue Devil football team, which lacks off its season Sept. 5 against Richmond, had been pretty bad for a long time—until last season. First-year head coach David Cutcliffe, now in his second

Koskinen Stadium and check out the

men’s or womens lacrosse teams. The guys have made it to three straight Final Fours, and the ladies are no slouches, having qualified for at least the Elite Eight each ofthe last four seasons. Koskinen Stadium, located just behind Wallace Wade, also houses the men’s and women’s soccer teams.

Looking for something to do on a chilly winter day? Brave the cold and head out to Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center, where you can watch the finest female tennis player in the country, Mallory Cecil. Duke won the NCAA team championship in 2009, and Cecil took home the individual title as well. The Blue Devils return most of the talent from that record-setting squad, and should challenge for another title in 2010. And lets not forget about the men’s

Wallace Wade Stadium came alive

in 2009 under new

tennis team, which just picked up its best recruit in Duke history. Under second-

year head coach Ramsey Smith, the Blue Devils are headed in the right direction, and could compete for an ACC title. The varsity athletes get most of the at-

tention, but Duke also offers those of us

who just like to play the opportunity to do so. Wilson Gymnasium on West and

football head coach David Cutclitfe

Brodie Gym on East* Campus are open students every day, and you can find an intramural league for just about every sport. Ultimate frisbee on the quad, pickup soccer in the back, outdoor basketball on Central Campus—if you’re looking for it, you can find it. to

Welcome to Duke, where sports are

never too far away.

The CCS certificate program enables students to pursue a course of study in which they will use a multi-disciplinary approach to analyze issues facing children, families, and the society responsible for their development. Students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a Duke faculty member as they research one or more issues, and they will learn skills to use the research to inform policy and practice. The certificate requires the completion of six courses.

Gender construction, class consciousness, racial legibility, and moral recognition are some key areas of investigation Close attention is paid to theorizing the melodramatic in different cultural and historical contexts.

The Office of Student Activities and Facilities’ Outpost, located under the West Union building, provides a variety of rental equipment to Duke students, including bikes, tents and emergency supplies, as well as a library of guidebooks to help plan your adventure. The Outpost also recently added a selection of team building equipment and outdoor games, such as croquet and booce, for student use. Grab some discs and head to the East Campus disc golf course, or borrow a soccer ball and kick it around one of the many lawns around campus. OSAF also holds single-session crash courses for students to learn new skills in a fun environment—previous classes include cake decorating, sailing & orienteering and the art of beer. Freewater Productions, funded by Duke University Union, lets Duke students get an advance peek at the latest blockbusters.

If you’re looking for a quiet walk, look no further than Duke Forest, 7,060 acres of nature. Its the perfect place to walk, run, bike or even go horseback riding. Although Duke does not keep horses, there are several stables in the vicinity. The forest also provides an unparalleled research opportunity for students interested in forestry and related research. The Sarah P. Duke Gardens offers a relaxing atmosphere for visitors, not to mention endless photo opportunities, and it is a favorite spot for students to study—and sleep—in the spring. The climbing wall at Wilson Recreation Center provides training for budding mountaineers or just those looking for away to unwind after a stressful day of studying. For those who find themselves on East Campus can relax in the massage chairs at the Oasis —located on the bottom floor of Bell Tower dormitory—or rent a movie at Lilly Library to enjoy in the Bell Tower media room. East Campus is also home to The Ark, where dancers can sharpen their skills in the same room where Madonna once danced.

THE CHRONICL ,E

University campus contains rich history In the mid-nineteenth century, Durham’s fairground was dismantled, its racetrack closed. In its place were constructed buildings that would one day become the freshman campus for one ofthe world’s most prestigious universities.

Though freshmen these days may feel relegated to the isolated East Campus, it is actually the original campus of our modem institution. Built in the 1800s, it served as the primary campus for Duke’s predecessor. Trinity Col-

lege, which moved to Durham in 1892 from Randolph Country, North Carolina, with the financial support ofWashington Duke.

A large donation from Duke’s James B. Duke, and the subsequent renaming of the col-

was merged with Duke University, East Campus housed a coed mix of both freshmen and upper-

classmen—the first coed dormftory on East Campus was established in 1896—until 1995. At that time, under the leadership of President Nannerl Keohane, East Campus became a solely freshman campus, shaping what is known today as the “first-year experience.” Currently, all freshmen live together in the 14 dormitories on East Campus and eat together at the Marketplace in the East Union building, but many are unaware of the rich history that surrounds their home away from home.

Lemur Center is one of a kind Since coming to Duke from Yale University in 1966, the Lemur Center has housed and studied the world's largest and most diverse captive collection of rare prosimian primates (mostly lemurs from the island of

Madagascar). As Madagascar's population is currently doubling every 25 years, there is ever growing pressure for land, mainly for slash-and-burn agriculture. Therefore, the protection and preservation of these truly unique primates requires a holistic approach involving multiple strategies both in Madagascar and internationally. The Lemur Center houses over 250 animals made up of 25 species and subspecies of prosimians. During

a walking tour of the Center visitors are introduced to representatives from the species housed there. The protected enclosures and captive breeding programs are designed to enable researchers from around the world to study these unique animals.

Unlike a zoo, visitors are not allowed to tour the Center unescorted, but rather are required to schedule appointments for a docent-guided walking tour of the facility. Admission fees directly support the primates. Work/study positions are available, but students need to provide their own transportation. For additional information see our web site at http://lemur.duke.edu and for appointments please call 919-489-3364.

'Blue Devils' origin s

Mascot name dates back to the 1920 During World War I the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed "les Diables Bleus," were well known French soldiers. They first gained attention when their unique training and alpine knowledge was counted upon to break the stalemate of trench warfare in their native region of the French Alps. Unfortunately the Vosges Campaign in March, 1915, failed to alter the status quo even though the Blue Devils won accolades for their courage. However, their distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret captured public imagination. When the United States entered the war, units of the French Blue Devils toured the country helping raise money in the war effort. Irving Berlin captured their spirit in song describing them as "strong and active, most attractive .. those Devils, the Blue Devils of France."

ognition has long been established. With the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged throughout the country, the origin of Duke's Blue Devil is one of the most bften requested items of information in the University Archives. Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more military and patriotic than religious. By William King, University Archivist, 1972-2002.

As the war was ending in Europe, the Trinity College Board of Trustees lifted its quarter-century ban of football on campus. After playing an intramural class first year the traditional nomenclature of the Trinity Eleven, the Blue and White or the Methodists (as opposed to the Baptists of nearby Wake Forest) described the team. In September, 1921, the student newspaper, the Trinity Chronicle, launched a campaign for a “catchy name, one of our own possession that would be instantly recognizable nationwide in songs, yells and publicity.” At a campus pep rally to stir up enthusiasm it was pointed out that Georgia Tech was gaining recognition as the “Golden Tornados" and that rival North Carolina State College had recently adopted the name “Wolf Pack.” There were numerous nominations including Catamounts, Grizzlies, Badgers, Dreadnaughts, and Captains which was in honor of the well-liked Coach W W. “Cap" Card. Believing a choice utilizing the school colors of dark blue and white to be appropriate, the newspaper editors urged a selection from among the nominations of Blue Titans, Blue Eagles, Polar Bears, Blue Devils, Royal Blazes, or Blue Warriors. None of the nominations won strong favor but Blue Devils

apparently had enough support to elicit the criticism that it would arouse opposition on the Methodist campus "for obvious reasons," and that it might prove risky and jeopardize football if a controversial name were used at that particular time. The football season passed with no official selection of a name. As the campus leaders from the Class of 1923 made plans for their senior year, they decided to select a name since the desired results by democratic nomination and vote had been inconclusive. The editors of The Archive and The Chanticleer, two of the other student publications, agreed that the newspaper staff should choose a name and “put it over." Thus William H. Lander, as editor-in-chief, and Mike Bradshaw, as managing editor, of the Trinity Chronicle began the academic year 1922-23 referring to the athletic teams as the Blue Devils. Their class had been the first post-war freshmen and the student body was full of returning veterans so the name needed no explanation. Acknowledging that it was somewhat unpopular, they nevertheless believed it to be the best name nominated. Neither the college press nor the cheerleaders used the name that first year. In fact, The Chanticleer made fun of the selection and process by quoting someone saying "We will use blew dewies even if no one else does." Much to the editor's surprise no opposition materialized, not even from the college administration. The Chronicle staff continued its use and through repetition, Blue Devils eventually caught on.
